![]() ![]() As for “ zut alors,” it’s not exactly a curse word. In English we do the same thing (called a minced oath) with expressions like “Holy smokes!” or “Gosh darn!” French speakers will probably understand you if you use it, but it may not have the desired punch you’re looking for. This antiquated expression was a purposeful mispronunciation of “ sacré dieu” (holy God) used to avoid taking the Lord’s name in vain. Regarding these two, the popularity of sacrebleu is actually a misconception. If the first two French curses that pop into your mind are “ sacrebleu” and “ zut alors !,” there is a whole elaborate world of profanity for you to discover. With time, this phrase came to refer to anything uncouth or rude, due to the stereotype of the French as being less proper or less demure. The English and French have a rollercoaster history, and with that naturally come a slew of stereotypes and grievances of any two entities with prolonged contact. “Bless me, how fat you are grown! – absolutely as round as a ball – you will soon be as enbon-point (excuse my French) as your poor dear father, the major…” Here’s an example of this from The Lady’s magazine in 1830: The replaced English word was not necessarily profane, but perhaps felt more appropriate in French rather than English for more delicate topics. It was not uncommon (and rather fashionable for some time) for high society in England to know French, as it was the language of the judicial courts for several centuries after the invasion of the British Isles by the Normans in 1066, but it was not a given that a less educated person would understand. Historically, the phrase was used to apologize for using French on the occasion that the addressee didn’t understand French. In PG movies or primetime TV, the phrase can be cleverly used to make a non-swear insult seem more profane, thereby avoiding but alluding to a disallowed word. However, the usage of “Excuse my French” has an even more complicated history and is an interesting peek into the history of contact between the Anglophone and Francophone worlds.Įnglish speakers generally use “Excuse/Pardon my French” to regain a bit of class in a conversation by excusing their inappropriate comments and making it clear that their intention isn’t for the conversation to devolve into a profanity-ridden debate.

Are these curse words all rooted in French? Or are the French known for being especially vulgar? It’s true that some curse words in English may have originated from French (“ pisser” just means to urinate and is not necessarily vulgar).

![]() But the hope is that Carrington is a scoring spark for this Gopher team. He is skilled enough to play both the point or shooting guard. Basketball, Carrington will come to the Gophers with an opportunity to start or possibly the first backcourt player off the bench. But there may be a day this season when Payne becomes your starting center.īraeden Carrington (CG) - Minnesota’s Mr. I expect Payne to start the season coming off the bench to play center and see the Gophers force matchup issues for opponents by bumping Garcia to the 4 and Battle to the 3. A true center with a strong lower-body with a lengthy upper-body. There is talk that Payne is really someone that NBA scounts are looking at and could be a major steal for the Gopher staff. Pharrel Payne (C) - Incoming center for the Gophers who was lightly recruited but really has garnered more and more buzz. This is where Ben Johnson is laying the foundation for this season and the next few. Samuels is a senior and expected to be a backup guard.Īnd here is where the potential influx of talent is coming into the program. Taurus Samuels - A 6’1” guard from Dartmouth who averaged just over 9 points per game last season in the Ivy League. Cooper, and Garcia, have 2 years of eligibility remaining. He is a distributor more than a scorer, will be interested to see how he plays defensively. Cooper comes to the Gophers from Morehead State where he was a 1st Team All OVC selection, averaged 9 points and almost 6 assists per game. Ta’Lon Cooper - Enter your Gopher point guard that was desperately needed this offseason. Expect that Garcia will start and the hope is that he becomes a consistent double-digit scoring threat to complement Battle. He had an up-and-down season with the Tar Heels before leaving the team in late January due to family issues. He will come to the Gophers, transferring from North Carolina, and will likely be the team’s starting center. And secondly, he needed guards.ĭawson Garcia - Garcia meets that first big need from the offseason.we hope. First, he needed another scorer to replace Peyton Willis. Expect that Thompson will once again be a reserve big man, getting more playing time because Isaiah Ihnen and Parker Fox were both lost for the season.īen Johnson really needed to replace two things from last year’s squad. He had a couple nice games in late January which earned him more minutes throughout February but soon fell back into his role of playing closer to 5 minutes per game. Treyton Thompson - Thompson really played sparingly as the team’s backup center. He was clearly the team’s key offensive weapon and will be the team’s unquestioned leader heading into his junior season. Battle was 7th in the Big Ten in scoring and 13th in rebounding. ![]() ![]() Battle was a sophomore transfer last year and he had an outstanding season. Jamison Battle - At least we are starting with an All-Big Ten caliber player. There are not very many names returning and only two of them are going to actually play. Last year the Gophers had significant roster turnover, bringing in several graduate transfers and sporting a roster that was very unknown as we tipped off a year ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() This way, the BigMIND mobile app will ask you to sign in again using the new credentials so it can proceed backing up your data.

In 1998, the Civic Type R Motor Sports edition was introduced. The EK9 could attain a top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph). Performance figures include a 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) acceleration time of 6.7 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 15.3 seconds. The EK9 was only available for sale in Japan. The interior featured red Recaro bucket seats, red door cards, red Type R floor mats, a titanium shift knob, and a Momo leather-wrapped steering wheel. For the first time, a strategically seam-welded monocoque chassis was used to improve chassis rigidity. The B16B engine boasted one of the highest power output per liter of all time for a naturally aspirated engine with 185 PS (136 kW 182 hp) at 8,200 rpm and 160 N⋅m (118 lb⋅ft) at 7,500 rpm of torque from 1.6 L (1,595 cc) of displacement. ![]() The EK9 shared many characteristics with the Integra Type R DC2/JDM DB8 such as omission of sound deadening and other weight reduction measures, a hand-ported B16B engine, front helical limited-slip differential and a close-ratio transmission. ![]() The first Civic to receive the Type R badge was introduced on August 19, 1997, as the EK9. Like its sibling, the Integra Type R DC2/JDM DB8, the Civic SiR's transformation into a Type R was achieved by working on the base model and improving it to Honda's idea of a car capable of high performance on the circuit. The contributing base model was the JDM Civic 3-door hatchback called the SiR (code-named EK4). The first Civic to receive the ' Type R' nameplate was based on the 6th-generation of the fan-base 'EK' Civic. ![]() ![]() We’ll call it UnitConverter, and you can change the organization name and identifier to anything you want. Open up Xcode and let’s create a new Single View App. Let’s get started on our Unit Converter app! That acts as our controller. The model is something that we have to build independent of our controller and view. As stated above, it’s so we can make changes to our model and only need to alter our controller. The storyboards act as our views. Each storyboard is bound to a UIViewController subclass. This is why we have UIViewController and storyboards. Specifically, iOS requires us to implement the MVC pattern very tightly. The controller is the most crucial component that allows for communication between the model and the view. However, the view and the model don’t even know the other exists! This is so we can make changes to the model or the view and we only need to update the controller instead of all three components! (The view in most case is the component that is updated the most frequently.) The MVC Pattern is now ubiquitously used in both mobile and desktop development. The view is pretty self-explanatory: it’s the UI that’s presented to the user. The model can be any kind of backend such as a database or web server. It can also be any kind of structure that holds or stores data somewhere, like a local key-value pairing system. ![]() The above figure is an illustration of the components of the MVC pattern. ![]() For this, we use the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. The MVC Pattern is now ubiquitously used in both mobile and desktop development. Similar to the concept of encapsulation in object-oriented programming languages, we want to make sure our components are separated from each other. Imagine the mess our app would be if we had storyboards, Swift source code, and other components wildly about in our iOS project! To prevent this disaster from occurring, we have design patterns we follow to try to keep our code as segmented as possible. When dealing with a system that has many moving parts it’s helpful to have some form of system design that helps us keep everything distinct.

Donkey Kong has no real weakness when a game is played non-skilled players. His recovery is decent, but it is vulnerable to gimping and lacking in vertical height. Being the second-largest (and second-heaviest) character is hit-and-miss: he can take a lot of damage before dying, but he gets hit very easily. His physical moves all have good reach, but he is vulnerable to projectiles and needs to approach opponents. The major problem Donkey Kong has stems from no ranged game. ![]() DK also has a large grab range with powerful throws, and he is even able to chain-grab some characters. Donkey Kong's attacks give him an arsenal of three spike attacks and two stage spikes. Donkey Kong is able to carry crates, barrels and Bonsly without a reduction in speed. His Headbutt attack allows him to get a free attack on the opponent, and many of his attacks have low startup time. His weight helps him stay alive longer, though he is a big target and has very poor vertical recovery. However, he is one of the fastest heavyweight characters. Smash Attributes ĭonkey Kong is a very heavy, slow character (but his movement speed is everything above average) with powerful attacks and high knockback capabilities. His impressive strength and good speed make him a good option against lightweights. He is also a very good counter to Snake, and is only at a slight disadvantage to Meta Knight, the two most prominent tourney threats, which has aided his placements in tournaments. He could be higher if he wasn't a candidate for infinite chain grabs. DK ranks in the C tier, 14th overall, due to his great matchups, range, power, priority, as well as reasonable attack and movement speed. This means, his fur color is more brightly colored, and he also appears furrier, especially around his head. Like most other characters in Wii U / 3DS, has been graphically updated to match his more recent appearances.

This tool is far better at creating firewalls than tools like Gufw, but doesn’t require the command line fu as does iptables. Without you we wouldn’t have been able to keep things going this long. Firewall Builder is an incredibly powerful and flexible security tool that any Linux administrator should get to know. Reduction in sound power is achieved through retrofitting, dense-packing or spray applying Greenfiber into exterior walls (contractor installation is recommended for these applications). Firewall Builder has been a great project to work on and we have truly appreciated all the support and positive feedback that the user community has provided. Firewall Builder for Mac uses object-oriented approach, it helps administrator maintain a database of network objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop operations. ![]() It consists of a GUI and set of policy compilers for various firewall platforms. Firewall Builder has a number of configuration guides available on its Web.

Keep on the great work cherylgardner Posted Thanks for software and updates. I hope that during the last 10 years or even more people found this project and started using, loving and supporting it. It is always a pleasure to setup a new firewall using this tool. Instead of always searching for the proper command, Firewall Builder allows users to easily design even the most complicated firewall rules using user-defined. 1 In field testing on identical 2x4 exterior wall types, Greenfiber® R-13 Stabilized Spray-Applied Insulation outperforms R-15 unfaced fiberglass batts by 4 NIC raring points, which equates to a 60% reduction in sound power.
