I noticed that a lot of Americans who hate FF13 tend to do so for three primary reasons. The first two and foremost being the linear nature and that combat was relegated to spamming X. FF13 cast as the illusion in FF games that I had known to exist for some time. All Final Fantasies were linear. Sure they contained a forest you could get lost in but that was part of the illusion that it wasn't linear. The second was an illusion that your choices other than spamming X would matter in 99.9% of the fight. They didn't. With the exception of a few fight every fight could be won using a combination of basic attacks and limit breaks. While other attacks were more potent they were rarely more efficient.
The third complaint, which is far less passionately argued than the first two, is about poor characters which I can marginally get behind and even there I don't think they failed outright. There were certainly weak characters (Snow/Hope) but Sazh was a very strong character with clear motivations while Fang and Vanille has retroactive character growth where their previous actions and the character's subsequent growth have greater clarity once you find out more of their backstory.
Dynasty Warriors has this as a problem. It's a rendering issue with the number of objects that need to be drawn and tracked. When playing it as a single player you will get far more soldiers around. When playing split screen the number of soldiers rendered would be practically halved. They're also still present albeit unable to hit you but you can't hit them either. So you can chew through individual groups of soldiers far faster playing by yourself compared to split screen.
Except that Fluke's "trademark" is actually a trade dress and it's not for the color yellow it's for the colors yellow and dark grey applied in a specific pattern.
Fluke's trademark is not just the yellow color. It's a specific patterns of yellow and dark grey where the "face" of the device is dark grey with the remainder being yellow.
So previous to this seed we use pesticides to combat rootworms because farmers grow the same crop year after year permitting rootworm populations to rapidly grow. The seed is introduced which the corn produces its own pesticide. The seed is used, once again year after year. The rootworms become resistant. Farmers are now required to use pesticides once again.
We've returned to where we were about five years ago and about the worst thing you could say happened is that this particular modification of corn to combat root worms would need to be shelved and a new one found. As long as farmers engage in mono-crop farming this is going to happen and that's not even getting into the issues of nitrogen levels in soil.

Britain fought "alone" for 1 year and even during that time the US was aiding her with supplies to keep fighting. That's also ignoring the significant contribution made by free Polish soldiers during the time that Britain was "standing alone" with about 150 fighter pilots helping defend against the Luftwaffe (one of the two Polish squadrons had the highest confirmed kills during the battle) and around 35,000 free Polish soldiers present in Britain.
A plane without a transponder does show up on radar. Without a transponder it is just unidentified. The Malaysian military did report unidentified aircraft over the Straight of Malacca. Is it that plane? Possibly. Could it be another plane? Sure.
Common core standards are, in fact, lower than the standards that were required by many states. New York voted to suspend it for two years to keep stricter standards. Indiana has a bill sitting on the governor's desk to completely step away from common core to utilize tougher standards.
A large reason common core has an allure is because of bad effects that came about from NCLB. It was causing a lot of schools to face sanction over kids not testing to standard (which is the state's standard) because they had a tough standard. You then saw waivers for NCLB popping up all over the place. So if you lower standards you're less likely to face NCLB sanctions over children not testing to your standard.
There's just three motivating factors for creating multiple characters per account. The first is to grant the player multiple "lockouts" regarding raiding content. The second is to play on multiple servers. The third is to experiment with character creation IF you want to see how the character looks in game, since you can save character creations without actually creating the character.
The majority of characters created are undoubtedly gil sellers. The fact that it's 6.7m players for 400m hows just a month ago (when the game has been out for 4 months) making it just shy of 60hours per character is pretty indicative of that fact.
The following has a good summary of what lead up to the Pacific War but to summarize... the US embargo was not coupled with any reasonable demands that Japan take. The final embargos came after the Japanese invasion of French Indochina but the demands were over territory that the US had shown no significant previous interest in and had no strategic or economic interest in (China). The American demands to give up on their empire, coupled with the embargo, was telling Japan that they needed to submit to subservient economic dependence on the United States. No country would accept those demands because that's tantamount to giving up your sovereignty.
According to that link there's an article which helps break data down.
One thing to note is that I didn't get a good definition for what constitutes an accident so the only thing I have to go off of is "fatal accident".
40% of fatal accidents occur during landing. Survival rates were 18% in 1970s and 20% in 2000-2009. En route accidents result with survival rates of 11% in 1970s and 7% In 2000-2009.
What the data does show is that if you have a serious accident during a flight, your chances of survival are greatly diminished. That makes sense because the forces involved during en route accidents are going to be far greater than takeoff or landing when the plane is travelling at a much slower speed.
You're trying to paint a distinction that doesn't matter. The end result is the same regardless if the payment goes through the beneficiary or not because the beneficiary is the beneficiary. You're assuming that the payment is in $ when the payment can be in $ or an equivalent value good.
I see a homeless man on the street asking for money to buy food. I take him to a restaurant and pay for his meal which costs $15 or I can give him $15 to go buy food. Both of these are direct payments to the homeless individual. In the former situation I ensure he is getting food with that $15 and isn't buying non-food items while the latter there's no insurance that the money will be spent on food.
Depressurization would require a descent that could drag the plane below altitude to be detected by radar. The more I look at the situation the more I believe that's what happened combined with the radio silence and IFF transponder being turned off because they were about to violate Thay airspace.
The Malaysian military reported a radar signal that was likely the flight over the Straight of Malacca (west coast) rather than the Bay of Thailand which everyone has been focusing on.
I have a pet theory and it does well explain all the events. This theory is based on the fact that Thailand and Malaysian relations have been sour as of late.
So here's the facts, at least as I understand it.
1. Radar contact of the flight was lost over the Bay of Thailand and appeared to be turning (~750km NNE of Kuala Lumpur). 2. Radar contact was allegedly gained over the Straight of Malacca (~350km NW of Kuala Lumpur). 3. The flight made no radio contact. 4. The flight had its IFF transponder turned off.
The Malaysian/Thailand relations and the "resighting" of the flight over the Straight of Malacca is what will make the rest fall into place. If the plane suffered decompression it would have had to descend to roughly 10,000ft and would have fallen off of radar (1). The apparently turning of the flight path indicates that the flight may have been attempting to return to Kuala Lumpur, however the best way would have likely be to turn to port, fly over Thailand, reach the Straight of Malacca, and fly into Kuala Lumpur (that's conjecture). Turning off the transponder and undergoing radio silence would make it very difficult for Thailand to know this plane from Malaysia was violating their airspace. Thus attempting to avoid further souring of relations between the two countries. Radio contact and the transponder might have been reenabled when they got closer to Kuala Lumpur. However the plane may have been forced to land in the straight before then, possibly in one piece, and had sunk in the Straight.

ARR seems to be doing pretty well. If you had specific issues you were curious about I would be glad to answer how or if they've been addressed.
Say what you will but FF14:ARR (not FF14) is the first MMO where I actually read quest dialogue. Take that for what you will.

Do people call Sears for tech support on a Craftsman wrench?
If you remove Sears as a prerequisite I can give you a strong yes response.
I can guarantee you that the average and top engineers makes more than the average and top celebrity/athlete/entertainer.
If we assume average to mean league minimum within the NFL then the salaries are...
Rookie : $420,000
1 Yr : $495,000
2 Yr : $570,000
3 Yr : $645,000
4-6 Yr : $730,000
7-9 Yr : $855,000
10+ Yr : $955,000
Whether that beats out the salary of an equivalent experience average engineer I don't know.
Perhaps you should also consider using Bill Cosby as a rolemodel?

Even better! It comes equipped with Morgan Freeman reading a telephone book. That tops Donald Sutherland reading "The Cat in the Hat".

Plausible deniability. Civilian planes violating airspace can cause incidents.
