Notes In Observance – NJPW English 2/11/17: Manifest Destino
By Nicholas Jason Lopez
"Notes In Observance" features random thoughts and analysis on television shows. Quick results can be found at the bottom of the post.
(Aired 2/11/17)
Manifest Destino
– The Taka Michinoku-Henare match started things off with a proverbial bang. Michinoku had a variated version of his old WWE entrance music. As commentary sifted through the card, we could tell it could be no less than great. This one was your typical "Young Lion Battles Established Veteran" story, but Henare had all to gain and none to lose. Early mat-based grappling dictated the action as Taka was also under the weather. It was definitely physical, but maybe that's why it was a bit short. Taka maneuvered a transition to get the pinfall. An anticlimactic finish, but it was what it was with these two. We like the story of Henare showing some frustration after the bell. Gives him some depth.

(Aired 2/7/17)
The Breakdown
– As if you didn't already know, 2017 was off to a blazing start in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, as IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada outlasted Kenny Omega in that "Six-Star Classic" at Wrestle Kingdom 11 and successfully defended against Minoru Suzuki at the New Beginning In Sapporo. With all the ingredients set and one more show until The New Beginning In Osaka on Feb. 11, we had to hunker down and get through some filler and entertainment mostly by way of fancy tag team matches. The opening video was flashy (and Japanese!) but was right to the point about recent events.
Notes In Observance – NJPW English 2/5/17: The Paintaker

(Aired 2/5/17)
The Paintaker
– It's 2017 and New Japan Pro-Wrestling's all the rage these days, so we figured why not put them in the same review family? Granted, we can only cover the English commentary shows, but by the looks of 2017, there's quite a few shows already. Where we last left off, we saw the sudden onset of the Suzuki-gun faction, with a fierce return not seen since the days of Nexus. A moment of silence please for that ill-fated group. For an exclamation point, they laid out IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada, as the group's leader, Minoru Suzuki, laid claim that every Title would soon be theirs. How nice. Now, no matter what they say in it, it'll still be incredibly difficult to understand the video packages per se, but damn, their production skills are sleek AF and a little extra on the side. So flashy and easy to follow. Everything looks damn near epic. Plus, that voiceover guy? Forget about it. We're hooked. Also liked the onscreen broadcast presentation graphics of all the matches for this show laid out, as it felt quite sports-like. To the first contest – Kushida/Hirai Kawato against El Desperado/Yoshinobu Kanemaru. Obviously, Kushida will stand out off the bat here, but this was a story all about Suzuki-gun's return momentum and the Chaos representatives with a goal to shut that down immediately. Also oddly enough, Don Callis fits right in with Kevin Kelly on commentary, though he's got a big chair in Steve Corino's absence to fill. A lot of attention was paid to Kushida getting in Kanemaru's face, conveying that it was purely about Championship gold. The heels began aggressively, with Kawato selling like a Champion, undergoing such punishment. They pulled out this cool spot where Kushida German suplexed one opponent while he held the other in a bridge. They certainly established Kawato's fighting spirit well here. ED's single-leg half crab was thwarted when he got to the ropes. Close near-falls towards the end on both sides. All you could ask for here. In the end, ED pinned Kawato with a move similar to a spinning blue thunder bomb. Good for an opener and to continue Suzuki-gun's momentum. Post-match, they attacked the winners outside. Well, damn.

New Year's Dash 2017
– The Six-Man Tag between Kyle O'Reilly/Ricochet/David Finlay and Jushin "Thunder" Liger/Tiger Mask/Henare set New Japan Pro-Wrestling's version of "Raw After Mania" off to a hot start. The commentary team of Kevin Kelly/Steve Corino superbly painted storyline pictures to mix with the action. Here, they relied upon the fact that O'Reilly/Ricochet/Finlay were all losers at Wrestle Kingdom 11 (which included six Title changes, mind you) and looked to bounce back. Given the caliber of talent involved, it was expected that the action would be quick. Ricochet and Liger had a cool exchange, even if Ricochet slipped up in the corner. Commentary hyped up Henare and put him over as a young lion that had the privilege to train with two legends like Liger/TM. In many ways, that'd build someone's career and it was smart of them to point that out. Liger's tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on O'Reilly looked downright cruel. Another fun spot was where Henare had the Boston Crab locked in on Finlay and didn't let go, even when subjected to Ricochet's fierce kicks. The highlight of everything was the triple submission spot, as it wasn't long before Finlay secured the pin for his team. All in all, it set out what it meant to – let O'Reilly/Ricochet/Finlay get back on track and Henare's in-ring abilities were a focus. The post-match sportsmanship was nice, even with the added detail that cameras followed Finlay as he went to embrace his mom up in the crowd. Awwww.
Wrestle Kingdom 11 Reaction
By Nicholas Jason Lopez
Jan. 4, professional wrestling and the Tokyo Dome have been a longtime polyamorous relationship, to the point where it has become tradition.
After last year's Wrestle Kingdom 10 when Shinsuke Nakamura and WWE World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles stole the show, New Japan Pro Wrestling began to make a global buzz.
With the likes of Bullet Club, Chaos and Los Ingobernables de Japon (LIJ) all in a power struggle, many Titles were up for grabs.
WK has become a haven for big moments and unlikely chances for Champions to retain their belts.
Wrestle Kingdom 11 would be right up there with the greats for a main event that actually dragged "Six Stars" out of one Dave Meltzer.
How did the show fare by our standards? Find out below.

(Aired 3/30/16)
Hit By The Truth
– The Four Corner Survival match between Roderick Strong, Moose (w/Stokely Hathaway), Adam Page and Matt Sydal gave us a decent ensemble of clashing personalities. Page was angry, Roddy was cocky, Moose was fancy and Sydal liked to fly. It just worked. Good near-falls down the stretch. Page drew close to a win, but a BJ Whitmer distraction allowed Strong to hit him with a knee strike and win.
ROH 14th Anniversary Show Reaction
By Nicholas Jason Lopez
Despite the adage, what happened in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas, since Ring Of Honor held its 14th Anniversary Show live on Pay-Per-View and stars from New Japan Pro-Wrestling were also here for the party at Sam's Town.
An underwhelming undercard was made up for by a better second half, fronted by the triple-threat for the ROH World Championship between Champion Jay Lethal, Kyle O'Reilly and Adam Cole and an insane six-man tag.

Putting A Haymaker On The Rainmaker
– This was another one of those post-Pay-Per-View shows that didn't immediately deliver on "fallout" despite King Corino saying it was "felt in the air." Normally, this is best avoided by using talent not featured on the PPV, but it was hard to do when the opener was Silas Young and Michael Elgin. Commentary focused on Elgin's Japan return with newfound confidence, while nothing was mentioned about Young and The Boys, though his feud with Dalton Castle was vaguely touched upon. Their chemistry was solid – some highlights being Elgin's extended Brainbuster and Young's top rope flips. Elgin was over with the Philly faithful and benefited with his hearty performance, as "Big Mike" dug deep to overpower Young. We can respect this slow push for Elgin if he'll give us matches like that. At the same time, Young got some heat for refusing the handshake post-match.

Annually, the pupils of Apeltun school in Bergen-Norway, with the assistance of their teachers and support staff, run a "Market" at which the community (parents, relatives, friends and well wishers) helps them raise funds for projects like the school constructions at Adwongkene and Otici.
The activities at the recent Market, which was reportedly a Big Success, included massage sessions, fortune telling, hairdressing, face painting, among others. Congrats.

Failed tender points to madness of Kai Tak cruise terminal folly
The failed tender for the new cruise terminal at Kai Tak reconfirms Designing Hong Kong's position that the terminal is in the wrong place. The 50,000 square metres of commercial development rights granted have so little value on the tip of Kowloon that they can't pay for building the terminal.
Previous papers to the Legislative Council show a hyped-up expectation that the terminal would become a world-class tourism node - a hotel, shopping and dining paradise. We have pointed out from day one that this is highly unlikely, as the tip of the runway is an extremely remote location without any mass transit links.
The alternative, upgrading the piers in Tsim Sha Tsui and adding new berths in West Kowloon, is ideal and preferred by many, as it has all the high-capacity rail and road links into the city, the airport, and the mainland. It is also right next to the core tourist attractions - and even more so when the cultural venues are built.
The cost of the stubborn pursuit of the wrong location for the cruise terminal is becoming apparent with the failed bid. In addition to granting 50,000 square metres of commercial development rights and the land for the terminal, the government is now adding HK$2 billion in cash. This on top of the estimated HK$5 billion road infrastructure that is being built to allow multi-axle trucks and buses to reach the tip of the runway.
These costs will increase further given the call for a second bridge link to the tip of the Kai Tak runway. On top of this, we need to add the enormous opportunity cost of losing what the runway could have meant for the Hong Kong community, the only piece of land in the heart of the city without roads blocking access to the waterfront.
What most people don't know and will only realise when it is too late, is that the value of the runway as an oasis with residential facilities, parks, sports fields, marinas and pedestrian and bike paths along the harbour, will be completely destroyed by the two high-capacity roads that are being built on both sides of the narrow runway.
The failed tender has now put a clear price tag on the planning madness.

Susan Coolidge was the pen name of Sarah Chauncy Woolsey (1835–1905), an American writer from Ohio. She was born into an eminent family, which had long and close connections with Yale University, one of the most prestigious universities in the United States. After the American Civil War, during which she served as a nurse, she turned to writing.
Her first book, A New Year's Bargain, was published in 1871. It happened that Susan Coolidge's editor was also the editor for Louisa M. Alcott, who had then recently become famous for her books Little Women and Little Men. The editor suggested that Susan Coolidge try her hand at the same kind of story. Five books about the irrepressible Katy Carr followed, tracing the fortunes and misfortunes of the Carr family from childhood, through school and travels in Europe, to marriage. The books are: What Katy Did, What Katy Did at School, What Katy Did Next, Clover, and In the High Valley. The titles of the first three books are a pun on the North American grasshopper-like insect, the katydid, whose noise was not only responsible for its name but also for inspiring Susan Coolidge.
Like Louisa M. Alcott's books, the characters in Susan Coolidge's books are especially lifelike because there is no doubt that they are based on members of her own family. Susan herself was tall, quick-witted and impatient, like Katy; Katy's three sisters are Susan's three sisters, and Katy's two brothers are Susan Coolidge's brother and cousin.
Susan Coolidge never married but devoted her life to her literary and social activities. Apart from her children's books, she wrote verse and edited the correspondence of Jane Austen and Fanny Burney.

Destination Weddings
There is just something special about destination weddings. It's much more than a wedding day—it's a multi-day experience that you share with your closest friends and family.
While planning your wedding away, one of the biggest decisions you will face is how to go about arranging your photographer. Do you go with a resort photographer (if you are getting married at a resort), do you hire a local to the destination, or do you hire someone to go along with you?
Top 5 reasons to bring your own photographer:
- No strangers: There won't be any strangers showing up on your wedding day that you haven't seen or spoken to before.
- Multiple sessions: Your ceremony may only be on one day, but there is a lot more to a destination wedding than that. That's why I include at least one other session in each package. This could be a trash the dress, bridal, etc.
- Security for the future: I have every intention of storing every photo of every wedding I have photographed for as long as I live. So, if something happens in 10 years time and your images are lost, you can come back to me, knowing that your images aren't really lost forever.
- Local service: The actual wedding day is only part of what goes into wedding photography. If you have any pre- or post-wedding requests, it's a little more difficult dealing with another country/language/time zone.
- Quality: Many popular wedding destinations just pump through weddings every day of the week, sometimes covering multiple weddings in a single day. Not as much care and personal touch is put into each one. Having a photographer that you've personally selected guarantees the personal attention you deserve.
I have actually had the unique opportunity to shoot a wedding at the same time as a resort photographer. The resort insisted on including the other photographer with the wedding and wouldn't allow the bride and groom to opt out. Alyson & Kevin were kind enough to give me copies of the images that the photographer supplied to them. While I'm not going to post all the resort's photos for the world to see at this time, if anyone is curious, please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to share the private gallery with you.

Financial analysts and researchers use accounting-based measures of profitability to assess the past performance of firms and as a starting point in forecasting future performance. Research and development costs can distort profitability measures because firms are required to expense R&D immediately, even if the investment creates future benefits. This article introduces a new model identifying two observable firm characteristics that must both be present for R&D costs to distort return on assets (ROA): large R&D expenditures and a sizable difference between ROA and the firm's growth rate. Because these conditions typically do not occur together, there is frequently little difference between unadjusted ROA and ROA estimates obtained by reversing, capitalizing, and depreciating historical R&D costs, and the two ROA measures produce similar rankings of firm profitability. Our approach identifies cases for which unadjusted ROA could be misleading, letting analysts and researchers target these firms for further analysis.

It has been easy to read about and buy into the interweaving of compute, storage, and networking technologies in a single platform. Despite such amazing promise and technology, technology is littered with companies who have tried and failed to deliver a successful, scaleable, supportable OpenStack cloud to their customers.

There's been plenty of speculation about the direction of mortgage rates this year, with most predicting an upward trajectory.
After all, with rates so low, it's pretty much a no-brainer to expect a rise to spare looking silly.
It also appears as if rates bottomed already (back in late November) and are now just kicking around the floor, rising ever so slightly.
But with so much uncertainty still in the air, mortgage rates could technically fall lower if unemployment rises, if the European crisis worsens, or if our debt situation goes down hill.
Higher G-Fees on the Horizon
However, one reason mortgage rates are slated to rise is an increase in guarantee fees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac charge banks and lenders who sell their loans.
These so-called "g-fees" are charged by the pair in exchange for bundling and selling the underlying mortgages as securities on the secondary market, and also for insuring default risk.
The FHFA, which oversees the pair, has already raised g-fees twice in the past year, and is expected to raise fees even more this year.
In fact, g-fees may increase "at least 50 basis points" this year, according to Robert Bostrom, a former general counsel at Freddie Mac.
He told Inside Mortgage Finance the FHFA will "clearly continue with g-fee increases" in 2013 in an effort to draw in more private capital into the government-dominated mortgage market.
Yes, Fannie and Freddie back the lion's share of mortgages originated these days, and the FHA handles much of the rest.
In case you were wondering, FHA loans will also get more expensive this year, as HUD already announced measures to preserve its dwindling capital reserve.
In April, the annual insurance premium will rise, and in June, certain new FHA loans will be subject to mortgage insurance for the life of the loan.
This is all intended to bring in non-government money so the mortgage market gets back to "normal."
[Mortgage rates not as low as they could be.]
Fee Passed on to Consumers
What it means for consumers is higher mortgage rates, though it's unclear how much higher.
First off, we don't know how much the pair will actually raise g-fees, if at all. And we don't know how much the fee will translate interest rate-wise.
Back in September, when discussing state-level g-fee increases, the FHFA noted that because the increase may be a one-time upfront fee, its impact on an annual interest rate would be much smaller.
For example, if g-fees do rise by 50 basis points (.50%) and it's completely passed on to the consumer, it could result in a mortgage rate just an eighth of a point higher.
So instead of snagging a rate of 3.50% on your 30-year fixed mortgage, the going rate may be 3.625%, or perhaps 3.75%.
While it sounds inconsequential, that eighth of a point can cost a borrower thousands over the life of a loan, and make things like refinancing less attractive.
And if mortgage rates rise for other reasons, such as better economic numbers and improved consumer sentiment, mortgage rates could increase more than forecast.
Put simply, it's yet another reason why mortgage rates risk moving higher.

Texplainer: Why Is the Capitol's Pink Dome So Shiny?
That's what 1,200 gallons of fresh paint will do for a dome.
Hey, Texplainer: What did they do to the dome during the restoration that makes it look so shiny and different from the rest of the building?
Last summer, the State Preservation Board decided to restore the Capitol's dome, which was leaking and its color fading. They put up scaffolding in June 2010, repaired the dome and repainted around its 96 windows in about six months. It was the first restoration of the 75,000-square-foot dome since a two-year project that began in 1991. The most recent restoration required 1,200 gallons of paint.
Turns out, it's all that fresh paint that makes the dome look so different from before and from the rest of the granite building. The paint gives the metal dome more color and gloss. But it will fade with age and eventually return to the less putty-like visage we're all used to.

Chanel is apologizing to Gabourey Sidibe after the actress claimed she was initially denied from purchasing merchandise at a local store.
On Tuesday, the Oscar-nominated actress revealed in an open letter shared to Lenny Letter that she was dismissed by a sales clerk at a Chanel location near her apartment in Chicago when trying to buy a new pair of Chanel eyewear.

Despite carrying a vintage Chanel purse herself, the "Empire" star reveals that when she asked to take a look at the eyeglasses on display, the saleswoman replied, "We don't have any. We only have shades." Sidibe was then reportedly redirected to a "discount frames dealer" across the street.
"I'd love to pretend she was being polite, and I'm sure she would love to pretend she was polite, but she was actually condescending," the actress explains. "I was trying to purchase glasses, and she was trying to get the interaction with me over as soon as possible."

In response to her open letter, the House of Chanel released a statement of apology. "Chanel expresses our sincerest regret for the boutique customer service experience that Ms. Sidibe mentioned in this essay," the statement read. "We are sorry that she felt unwelcome and offended."
The statement went on, "We took her words very seriously and immediately investigated to understand what happened, knowing that this is absolutely not in line with the high standards that Chanel wishes to provide to our customers."

CINCINNATI, June 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Touchstone Advisors Inc. has entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of U.S. mutual funds managed by DSM Capital Partners LLC (DSM). As part of the agreement, Touchstone, a wholly owned subsidiary of Western & Southern Financial Group, will acquire roughly $208 million in assets and add DSM as its newest sub-advisor.
The DSM Large Cap Growth Fund will be reorganized into the Touchstone Large Company Growth Fund. The DSM Global Growth Fund and the DSM Global Growth & Income Fund will be reorganized into the Touchstone Global Growth Fund. The new funds will adhere to similar investment goals and strategies, while retaining the investment team of DSM with Daniel Strickberger, co-managing partner and chief investment officer of DSM, as the portfolio manager.

"The firm has also played a critical role in running actively managed, concentrated portfolios for investors and will boost our lineup of highly active strategies with holdings that are differentiated from their benchmarks."
The changes will include the creation of new share classes for the funds, which currently only offer an institutional share class. The reorganization, contingent upon shareholder approval, is expected to be completed later this summer.
"We look for companies with growing businesses, attractive returns, solid business fundamentals and intelligent management. We believe the research and stock selection process must be fast, flexible, and opportunistic," Strickberger said. "With this acquisition, our shareholders will gain access to Touchstone's larger distribution platform, which could lead to more growth opportunities, greater economies of scale and lower overall costs."
Touchstone Advisors had roughly $15.8 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2016.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Up to now probably one of the best experiences I had was climbing this huge chimney in a beautiful rock formation here in Brazil. Unfortunately it's been a long while since I last climbed anything mainly due to work.

All this passionate rhetoric about his heroic service to the United States, how the investigation should never have happened, and how he got unfairly singled out and screwed (all of which I agree with) would be fine if it weren't obscuring something fairly important: Lying to the FBI and a grand jury is a very bad thing, even if we all think it was an unworthy investigation.McCarthy is right: the evidence was extremely compelling that Libby lied repeatedly, deliberately, and with premeditation. Which leads us inevitably to the big question: Why did he lie?
....The evidence that Libby lied, rather than that he was confused, was compelling. And the jury was dilligent: the post-verdict commentary showed that they liked and felt sorry for him, several thought there should have been no case, some openly hoped for a pardon, and on the one count where the evidence was considerably weaker than the others, they acquitted him. They convicted him on the other four charges, reluctantly, because they had no choice if they were going to honor their oaths.
Take Bill Clinton. He lied too when he denied having an affair with Monica Lewinsky, but in his case everyone knew exactly why he had lied: because he didn't want anyone to know he was getting blowjobs in the Oval Office. And most of us took that into account. First, because it plainly had nothing to do with the official exercise of executive power, and second, because pretty much everyone figured they might very well have done exactly the same thing in his position. It was understandable human weakness. So while we might not have approved, most of the public decided it wasn't a hanging offense.
But Libby is a different case entirely. The conservative community wants us to believe that Valerie Plame wasn't really undercover at all. They also want us to believe that outing her was, in fact, part of an entirely legitimate effort to explain that Dick Cheney hadn't been responsible for sending Joe Wilson to Niger. And finally, they want us to believe that none of this was part of a coordinated plan. Plame's name was merely mentioned in an offhand way here and there when reporters brought up questions about Wilson's trip.
But if that's the case, then why did Libby lie? Deliberately and repeatedly? Richard Armitage fessed up almost immediately. Ari Fleischer fessed up. Karl Rove had to be pushed, but eventually he fessed up too. Only Libby lied.
Why? What was he hiding?

A Freakonomics podcast about family-owned businesses reports that passing on control of the business to the next generation–what Freakonomics calls "Scionology"–generally diminishes value. It makes sense that passing control into a talent pool of limited size, whose members are determined by what Warren Buffet calls the "ovarian lottery," would tend to yield less favorable results than merit-based succession to a larger and more diverse pool. This is true in all developed countries–except Japan. Why? Because "Japanese families often adopt an adult to take over." 98%–98%!!!!–of Japanese adoptees are males between the ages of 25 and 30. Only 2% of Japanese adoptees are children.

There are several ways to intimidate ones opponent in chess. The most benign ones involve a good luck talisman of some kind, Many chess players wear a special checkered or plaid shirt for good luck. After someone showed up one night at the club with pawns and rooks and knights on his coffee cup, Steve had to get a chess cup too. Bella Roma found this one for him, which, together with an awesome tie, he figures will seriously unnerve even the most cool-headed of chess masters. Here he is, trying out the cup before the game
Next to music parties, Steve loves yard sales.This Saturday the WOMEN'S LEAGUE FOR PEACE AND FREEDOM had four truckloads of donated goodies spread out on our lawn to sell, and Steve made out like a bandit!
After finishing the lesson with his guitar student, he went outside and in the space of about one half hour ended up with a little radio, a chess board and men (complete set), an electronic chess game called Ex Caliber, a portable boom box with a broken handle, a copy of "Stranger in a Strange Land," and, incredibly, a functioning 20 inch screen color TV set. It looked like Christmas morning in here on the sofa. I wonder what's in that paper bag? Something chocolate?
This must the the set of instructions that came with the Ex Caliber electronic chess set. Steve has never had many toys to play with since we have known him, so this was really a special day for him.
Chrisrmas in June!
|ELIJAH WALD at BELLA ROMA
Elijah Wald, author of several great books about blues musicians, and a fine guitar player himself, (see www.Elijahwald.com) emailed Steve from Stefan wirz' web site. We went to hear him give a talk about blues at the San Francisco Public Library . Over pizza afterwards, Elijah agreed to come visit Steve the next time he was in Berkeley, up from Los Angeles.
The lunch went fine, and then the guys got out their guitars and chatted for awhile about blues musicians and records and styles and "who do you know?" Steve remembers more people than most folks have ever met.
Then they started srumming a little. Steve always watches your hands and tells you to "go ahead."That means play a solo. It occurred to us to set a microphone out on the table.
Elijah says after hearing Steve play most people just throw their guitars out the window and go get a day job. But the stuggle is fun, while it lasts.

Google is working on building a competitor to Amazon Prime called "Google Shopping Express." Amazon Prime is a service in the United States that lets you receive goods within two days with free shipping. Amazon Prime costs $79 per year for consumers and $39 per year for students. According to sources with TechCrunch, Google Shopping Express will be $10 or $15 cheaper than Amazon Prime.
The project is believed to be run by Google e-commerce product manager at Tom Fallows. Google Wallet and Google Shopping is believed to be tightly tied into the service.
Google Shopping Express could be a way for the company to capitalize on their November 2012 acquisition of BufferBox, a company that delivers e-commerce goods to physical kiosks. Amazon.com is testing a similar locker service in New York, Seattle, and the United Kingdom.

just a notice to all and sundry that i am home, safe and sound. i'm desperately trying to reacclimate myself to north america (the weather here is fabulous, though i'm not as sweat-proof as i hoped i'd be) and process my trip. how does one integrate the lessons of an adventure into the torpor of everyday life? on a related topic, does anyone know any good books along the lines of finding God in your achingly boring life?
i'm not sure how often i'll be blogging these days. i'd like to keep it up, but i'm frankly not planning on doing anything interesting. still, all my blogging friends manage to make their lives sound interesting, and my feelings won't really be hurt if everyone stops reading, because i won't know, right? so consider this the close to a chapter.

Why don't you want to download Mailwasher? I use the program to alert me of the content of any emails without having to download them. It has also warned me on two occasions about a virus in an attachment so I was able to delete them immediately at the server end. You can also set Mailwasher to automatically delete/bounce emails on a blacklist. Mailwasher may not stop all spam but it certainly does make dealing with the problem easier.

FORM by Appeal Video games has simply launched on steam for the HTC Vive. On this puzzle like VR sport you'll uncover the inside desires, fears, and hopes of the human thoughts. The experience will likely be happening in a distant Alaskan analysis facility with a information named Dr. Devin Eli who is a superb physicist with superhuman powers of geometric visualization. On this VR journey you need to uncover the secrets and techniques behind a just lately found historic artifact, The Obelisk. As Dr. Eli, gamers remedy stimulating puzzles and discover surreal environments constructed from Dr. Eli's recollections, desires and fears.
"FORM is driven by the game's robust narrative that makes people think more than just how to solve complex puzzles," mentioned Alan Jernigan, Co-founder of Appeal Video games. "Story is often an afterthought in VR so we brought it to the forefront in FORM for an even greater emotional experience. However, FORM is still a game at its core so we've intertwined our narrative between challenging and, more importantly, entertaining puzzles that we're sure VR gamers will enjoy."
In FORM, gamers should assemble puzzle items, unlock doorways and open rifts to various realities. Whereas advancing by the sport, puzzles and environments develop into extra advanced and intertwined, accessing the deeper and extra distant recesses of Dr. Eli's thoughts. By fixing these puzzles and "unlocking" the constraints of Dr. Eli's thoughts, gamers will ascend by progressively increased ranges of consciousness to find a path towards Dr. Eli's true future.
FORM is available today on Steam for $19.99. However to rejoice its launch, Appeal Video games will likely be providing the sport with a %25 % discount till June eighth. The corporate has plans on releasing this intriguing VR sport on Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR in early 2018. Be certain to present the sport a whirl.
