Bingo (Better Call Saul)

"Bingo" is the seventh episode of the first season of the AMC television series Better Call Saul, the spinoff series of Breaking Bad. The episode aired on March 16, 2015.

Plot

At the police station, Jimmy and Mike return the notepad to Detective Abbasi, claiming they found it in the parking lot. Despite Abbasi's accusations against Mike, his partner Detective Sanders privately assures Mike that he has little to fear. Jimmy finds Chuck standing outside his home, claiming to build up tolerance to electromagnetic fields outdoors as he feels useless. Jimmy stores some legal documents at Chuck's house with an ulterior motive for him to get involved in cases. Jimmy brings Kim to an office suite he is considering for his practice and asks her to join him as his partner. She turns him down due to her loyalty to Hamlin, Hamlin & McGill.

Later, Kim meets with the Kettlemans and proposes a plea deal that involves a sixteen month prison sentence, returning the $1.6 million in embezzled money, and an admission of guilt. Since losing a trial would mean a thirty year prison sentence for Craig, she recommends this course of action. However, Betsy flatly rejects the deal, maintaining her husband's innocence and denying that there is any money to return. They fire Kim and seek out Jimmy for legal counsel. Jimmy initially urges them to accept Kim's deal, but Betsy blackmails him by pointing out that their "retainer" paid to Jimmy would implicate him taking a bribe. While picking up records from HHM, Jimmy discovers that Kim has been demoted as a result of losing the Kettlemans as clients.

Promotion

"Bingo!"'s video clip was filmed by the same director filmed "Seifuku ga Jama o Suru", although the theme is totally different. All 46 members of AKB48 participated in the video clip, filmed in Onjuku, Chiba and Makuhari Messe.

Each "Shokai Genteiban" (初回限定版, The first edition) CD also includes 2 DVDs, one is video clip and the other is "Making of "Bingo!".

Sony Music offered high resolution closeup portraits of the 18 Senbatsu members as wallpaper downloads on their website for the limited duration of 36 hours after the song’s release.

Reception

Since many "Aitakatta" limited editions remained unsold, the Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru limited sets were produced in a smaller quantity, making it one of the rarer to find releases. The single charted 5 weeks in the top 200 with the highest rank at #6, then-highest ever record for AKB48. "Bingo!" sold 25,611 copies.

Of this area, 27.74 km² (10.71 sq mi) or 44.7% is used for agricultural purposes, while 23.36 km² (9.02 sq mi) or 37.7% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 10.41 km² (4.02 sq mi) or 16.8% is settled (buildings or roads), 0.44 km² (0.17 sq mi) or 0.7% is either rivers or lakes and 0.06 km² (15 acres) or 0.1% is unproductive land.

Of the built up area, industrial buildings made up 3.1% of the total area while housing and buildings made up 6.6% and transportation infrastructure made up 5.0%. Power and water infrastructure as well as other special developed areas made up 1.5% of the area Out of the forested land, 36.4% of the total land area is heavily forested and 1.2% is covered with orchards or small clusters of trees. Of the agricultural land, 41.9% is used for growing crops, while 1.2% is used for orchards or vine crops and 1.6% is used for alpine pastures. All the water in the district is flowing water.

GAU-19

The GECAL 50, officially designated by the United States military as the GAU-19/A, is an electrically driven Minigun that fires the .50 BMG (12.7×99mm) cartridge.

Technical specifications

The GAU-19/A is designed for a linkless feed, but can be fed from a standard M9 linked belt if a delinker feeder is used. The rate of fire is selectable to be either 1,000 or 2,000 rounds per minute. The Humvee armament kit version fires at 1,300 rounds per minute. The average recoil force when firing is 2.2kN. In January 2012, General Dynamics announced they would be delivering a new version designated GAU-19/B. It provides the same firepower in a lighter platform, weighing 48 kg.

History

The GECAL 50 was first manufactured by General Electric, then by Lockheed Martin, and now by General Dynamics. Design work began in 1982. Early prototypes had six barrels, but a three-barreled configuration is now standard. The GAU-19/A was originally designed as a larger, more potent version of the M134 Minigun. Due to the loss of nine helicopters in Grenada GE started building prototypes of the weapon in both a three-barreled and a six-barreled configuration. The six-barreled version was designed to fire 4,000 rounds per minute, and could be adapted to fire up to 8,000 rounds per minute. The GAU-19 takes 0.4 seconds to reach maximum firing rate. Soon it was recommended as a potential armament for the V-22 Osprey. The magazine would be located underneath the cabin floor and could be reloaded in-flight. However, plans to mount the gun were later dropped. In 2005, the GAU-19/A was approved to be mounted on the OH-58D Kiowa helicopter. It also could have been used on the Army's now cancelled ARH-70. In January 2012, the U.S. Army ordered 24 GAU-19/B versions for use on helicopters. All were delivered by the next month.

GAU-7 cannon

The Ford-Philco GAU-7/A was an abortive program initiated by United States Air Force in the late 1960s to develop a new cannon to replace the M61 Vulcan on the then-upcoming F-15 Eagle. The GAU-7/A was a 25 mm Gatling gun using telescoped ammunition with a combustible case. It was intended to have greater range and hitting power than the 20 mm Vulcan, while the caseless ammunition would have alleviated the problems of either storing or ejecting spent cartridges, both of which present considerable problems for jet aircraft. Despite great expenditure, the project and its ammunition proved to be a failure, and it was canceled in 1974. The F-15 therefore retained the M61A1 cannon, as have most U.S. fighter aircraft since 1956.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a specific disorder that involves the death of neurons. In a number of countries the term motor neurone disease (MND) is commonly used, while others use that term for a group of five conditions of which ALS is the most common. ALS is characterized by stiff muscles, muscle twitching, and gradually worsening weakness due to muscles decreasing in size. This results in difficulty speaking, swallowing, and eventually breathing.

The cause is not known in 90% to 95% of cases. About 5–10% of cases are inherited from a person's parents. About half of these genetic cases are due to one of two specific genes. It results in the death of the neurons that control voluntary muscles. The diagnosis is based on a person's signs and symptoms with testing done to rule out other potential causes.

There is no known cure for ALS. A medication called riluzole may extend life expectancy by about two to three months.Non-invasive ventilation may result in both improved quality and length of life. The disease usually starts around the age of 60 and in inherited cases around the age of 50. The average survival from onset to death is three to four years. About 10% survive longer than 10 years. Most die from respiratory failure. In much of the world, rates of ALS are unknown. In Europe and the United States, the disease affects about 2 people per 100,000 per year.
