I’ve done it, I did it for so many years, and it also ended on such an unfortunate note,” Anderson told the outlet. The show had ended on an incredibly frustrating note, including for Anderson, who responded to the negative reaction to the finale on Twitter, simply writing, “Oh boy oh boy do I ever hear you.” After benching her for much of the finale, while Mulder, CSM, William, and Skinner featured prominently, The X-Files‘ writers had seemingly decided that Scully’s story should end with her becoming a “baby vessel again,” as io9 put it at the time. It was a “twist” that was almost universally criticized by fans and critics. Not only does “My Struggle IV” confirm that the Cigarette Smoking Man was the true father of Scully’s son William (after medically impregnating her while she was drugged and unconscious in the season 7 episode “En Ami,” which itself is a problematic turn of events) but also ended with the reveal that she was once again pregnant, this time with Mulder’s baby. ![]() Then Fox aired the controversial season 11 finale, which on top of being a clumsy and convoluted hour of television, felt like a betrayal of Anderson’s character as well as The X-Files giving into its worst habits. But certainly we will have to all put our heads together and figure out where to go from here.” “I’m sorry to see her go, I’ve never actually considered doing this show without her, so is this the end? It’s the end of something, I don’t know if it’s the beginning of something new. “I think that certainly The X-Files has more life in it, there are more stories to tell, with Gillian or without,” Carter told Digital Spy after Anderson’s announcement. Anderson wanted to play other roles: “There’s lots of things that I want to do in my life and in my career and it’s been an extraordinary opportunity and extraordinary character and I am hugely grateful.” The reason she gave at the time seemed clear cut enough. It was dipping our toe back in again… and getting to play these wonderful characters again.” I felt that the previous six was going to be it. “I arrived at the decision before we did, but I was really curious. It just is,” Anderson announced during a TCA press tour after season 11’s premiere in 2018. “It’s time for me to hang up Scully’s hat. Even before season 11 had wrapped what turned out to be a baffling and problematic arc for Dana Scully, Gillian Anderson revealed she was on her way out. Gillian Anderson Wants “Better Writers” for X-Files Season 12Įven if The X-Files proper were to return in some shape or form, it likely would have to do so without one of its stars. Yet, it’s still more likely we get an X-Files cartoon or spinoff before we ever see Mulder and Scully reunite in live action. We’ve heard very little about X-Files: Albuquerque since then, though, leaving us to wonder whether this spinoff will ever actually get off the ground. And so it’s really hard for me to say what my involvement will be, but I know this, it needs to be funny.” Speaking to Danish X-Files podcast Sammensværgelsen (which translates in English to “The Conspiracy Podcast”) at the time, Carter said the animated series was “still in the development. Carter is even attached an executive producer. Interestingly enough, Disney has been working on re-opening the X-Files as far back as 2020…but as a spinoff animated series set in Albuquerque and starring “an office of misfit agents who investigate cases too wacky, ridiculous, or dopey for Scully and Mulder,” according to THR. ![]() ![]() The suspected cause of the debris event was an overcharge of the battery resulting in a minor explosion of the battery. The NOAA 8 satellite launched in 1983 suffered an onboard failure in December of 1985 leading to the release of six pieces of debris into orbits between 750 and 850 Kilometers. In 2004, the DMSP F11 satellite suffered a breakup that created 84 trackable debris. This altitude regime had already become cluttered with debris from historical break-ups which is particularly unfortunate given the importance of 850km Sun Synchronous Orbits for remote sensing and meteorological satellites. The bulk of NOAA 16 debris reside in orbits that will be very slow to decay and may last several decades. Image: NASA Orbital Debris Program Office Also, about half the debris were put into orbits with inclinations higher than the parent object, and half into orbits with lower inclinations. The debris could is mostly symmetric in altitude – a similar number of debris was thrown into higher and lower orbits. The DMSP F13 break-up left a debris could with a similar spread to that created by NOAA 16, extending more than 300 Kilometers above and below the pre-breakup orbit. More debris from the NOAA 16 satellite are likely to be detected in the coming weeks and months. It should be noted that only debris of a certain size can be tracked from the ground, small centimeter-sized debris or frozen fluid droplets that could also harm satellites can not be monitored from the ground. Initially, 43 debris were cataloged but the total number of liberated debris rose to 160 in the months that followed. This marked the second large debris event of 2015 involving NOAA/DMSP satellites after the DMSP F13 satellite suffered a battery explosion in February that was preceded by a sudden temperature spike in the satellite’s power system. Kelso shows the NOAA 16 debris event occurred at approximately 7:20 UTC on November 25.ĭMSP F13 Gabbard Plot – Credit: NASA Orbital Debris Program Office A collision had been ruled out earlier leaving only the scenario of an explosion onboard the satellite which is not unheard of in NOAA satellites and satellites of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program.Īnalysis conducted by Dr. This indicates that the debris were liberated with significant energy, suggesting either an onboard explosion or a collision between objects. JSpOC released orbital elements for 53 debris on Friday showing a large spread in orbits ranging from 462 by 858 to 829 by 1,278 Kilometers. It took one and a half weeks for data to be gathered on the number and orbital trajectories of the debris. NOAA 16 was in an orbit of 841 by 857 Kilometers when the event occurred and the Joint Space Operations Center became aware of the debris release at around 8:16 UTC on November 25. Given the behavior of satellites of similar construction, the leading suspect for the debris event is an explosion of the spacecraft battery. The debris event was detected on November 25 when ground-based radars sensed a number of debris in the vicinity of the NOAA 16 satellite that had been retired since 2014. Many of the ideas posted in the last few pages have been posted before (my own included.) And so we go round and round.The in-orbit break-up of the NOAA 16 weather satellite left a cloud of dozens of debris in orbit, data released by the Joint Space Operations Center indicates. But then we are talking about some later generation vehicle, not F9R. ![]() In such a world you could imagine 24 hour turn round, keeping the vehicle upright for processing and all the various other suggestions posted. It is not at all clear to me how we get from the way things are now to such a world. But this is in some future world where human spaceflight beyond LEO is extensive enough to create a demand for such services. I agree with those who say that tanker flights are the most likely types of missions which would benefit from complete and rapid re-usability. I think there is a reasonable chance that it will, but it is yet to be proved. ![]() ![]() F9R's viability is about not whether they can turn the vehicle round in 24 hours, but whether its re-use saves money. There are not enough payloads presently to require it. Rapid re-use has been featured a lot because it's a stated SpaceX goal, but I'm with those who believe that will be unnecessary for quite a while into the future. The discussion has moved from v1.1 to future re-usability possibilities very quickly. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sell on social media, Amazon, Google Shopping, Walmart and eBay.Add products with SKUs and serial numbers (digital and physical goods).You can use Lightspeed for Retail on your computer or mobile device to do things like: Purchasing the software also gives you access to its POS hardware.

A dedicated Customer Service Manager is assigned to each account ![]() ![]() ![]() Total Operating Expenses = Property management fees + Property Taxes + Repair and Maintenance + Insurance = Rs. Suppose the following operating expenses:. Total Revenue = Income from Rent + Fees for Parking + Laundry Machines = Rs. And the following figures are given for such property: Suppose there is a property that has been put on rent by the owner. Let's understand this through an example. Where RR stands for Real estate Revenue, and OE stands for Operating Expenses. In mathematical terms, the formula for the calculation of Net Operating Income is defined as below: The revenue the property generates could be in the form of rent, fees for parking, laundry machines, or any other kind of income.Īnd the operating cost is the total cost which is incurred by the owner of the property in the maintenance of the property. ![]() Net Operating Income is equal to the value which comes after subtracting all the operational costs incurred to maintain the property, for which the NOI needs to be calculated from the total income the property produces. NOI gives an idea to the owner of whether it is worth it or not to rent the property and incur/ bear all the operating costs to maintain it. Net operating income is also sometimes referred to as " Earnings Before Interest and Taxes" or EBIT. This is how you may get the NOI for any property. In particular, NOI is calculated by subtracting all the operating costs which are reasonable and necessary to maintain the property from the net revenue that the property is producing. They do this to check whether the property they are investing in or the money they are lending in the name of the property is generating enough income to cover operating costs and loan payments. Lenders or investors also use this method before investing in any property. But, it will not cover any kind of capital expenditure.įor example, if the owner has installed AC for the whole building, then the cost incurred in the installation will not be included in the calculation of NOI. It also includes property taxes, insurance premiums, legal fees, repair costs, and utilities. Now, the question arises, "what are the operating costs and what costs will be included while calculating the NOI?" Operating costs are the costs that the property owner incurs to run and maintain the building or the property. Real estate investors often use NOI to calculate the precise value of any property before buying, as it helps them compare the properties' worth from one property to another. Property can generate income in many ways, such as rent and amenities like parking structures, vending machines, and laundry facilities. It is the income before tax therefore, all the operating costs are subtracted from the income generated by the property to get the precise value of Net Operating Income (NOI). Net Operating is a method used to calculate or measure the income a property produces or generates.

They avoided the use of samples, with the exception of the closing track " Contact". As Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk stated, "We could play some riffs and stuff but not keep it for four minutes straight." Daft Punk put these demos aside and started work on the Tron: Legacy film soundtrack, which Bangalter described as "very humbling". They were pleased with the compositions, but dissatisfied with their process of sampling and looping, as they had done for their previous albums. In 2008, after finishing their Alive 2006/2007 tour, Daft Punk began working on new material in Paris, recording demos for approximately six months. ![]() In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked Random Access Memories number 295 on their list of the " 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". "Get Lucky" also won the awards for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

Its lead single, " Get Lucky", topped the charts in more than 30 countries and became one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. It also topped the charts in twenty other countries. Random Access Memories is the only Daft Punk album to top the US Billboard 200, and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. It combines disco, progressive rock and pop, with collaborations with Giorgio Moroder, Panda Bear, Julian Casablancas, Todd Edwards, DJ Falcon, Chilly Gonzales, Nile Rodgers, Paul Williams, Nathan East and Pharrell Williams. It is their final album before their disbandment in 2021.įollowing the minimal production of their previous album, Human After All (2005), Daft Punk recruited session musicians to perform live instrumentation and limited the use of electronic instruments to drum machines, a custom-built modular synthesizer and vintage vocoders. ![]() Recording sessions took place from 2008 to 2012 at Henson, Conway and Capitol Studios in California, Electric Lady Studios in New York City, and Gang Recording Studio in Paris, France.

Member Thomas Bangalter reflected on Daft Punk during a recent interview with BBC, saying he and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo wanted to create “a project that blurred the line between reality and fiction with these robot characters.” The Random Access Memories anniversary release comes more than two years after Daft Punk announced their split after nearly three decades together.

A later age honored them collectively as the men of the Great Synagogue. Of the scribes of this period, with the exception of Ezra and Zadok, ( Nehemiah 13:13 ) we have no record. ( Jeremiah 8:8 ) After the captivity the office became more prominent, as the exiles would be anxious above all things to preserve the sacred books, the laws, the hymns, the prophecies of the past. Comp ( 2 Kings 12:10 ) In Hezekiahs time transcribed old records, and became a class of students and interpreters of the law, boasting of their wisdom. ( 2 Samuel 8:17 20:25 1 Kings 4:3 ) We may think of them as the kings secretaries, writing his letters, drawing up his decrees, managing his finances. ( Judges 5:14 ) The men are mentioned as filling the office of scribe under David and Solomon. (2) The name of Kirjath-sepher, ( Joshua 15:15 Judges 1:12 ) may possibly connect itself with some early use of the title, and appears to point to military functions of some kind. The sopherim were so called because they wrote out the law, or because they classified and arranged its precepts, or because they counted with scrupulous minuteness every elapse and letter It contained. The explanation of the word has been referred to each of these. (1) Three meanings are connected with the verb saphar, the root of sopherim - (a) to write, (b) to set in order, (c) to count. indicates this entry was also found in Smith's Bible DictionaryĮaston, Matthew George. indicates this entry was also found in Torrey's Topical Textbook Easton M.A., D.D., Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Third Edition, ![]() Thus Gamaliel advised the Sanhedrin, when the apostles were before them charged with "teaching in this name," to "refrain from these men and let them alone" ( Acts 5:34-39 comp 23:9 ). Some of the scribes, however, were men of a different spirit, and showed themselves friendly to the gospel and its preachers. They afterwards showed themselves greatly hostile to the apostles ( Acts 4:5 6:12 ). They were in the time of our Lord the public teachers of the people, and frequently came into collision with him. The titles "scribes" and "lawyers" (q.v.) are in the Gospels interchangeable ( Matthew 22:35 Mark 12:28 Luke 20:39, etc.). It is evident that in New Testament times the scribes belonged to the sect of the Pharisees, who supplemented the ancient written law by their traditions ( Matthew 23 ), thereby obscuring it and rendering it of none effect. On them devolved the duty of multiplying copies of the law and of teaching it to others ( Ezra 7:6 Ezra 7:10-12 Nehemiah 8:1 Nehemiah 8:4 Nehemiah 8:9 Nehemiah 8:13 ). In later times, after the Captivity, when the nation lost its independence, the scribes turned their attention to the law, gaining for themselves distinction by their intimate acquaintance with its contents. Such, for example, was Baruch, who "wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord" ( Jeremiah 36:4 Jeremiah 36:32 ). They were engaged in various ways as writers.
