New AST Tapes / Digital Available Now.
Tapes available direct from BIGCARTEL + Lulu's, Polyester and Repressed Records / digital available from BANDCAMP.
Because I am a tight-arse, the Magnetizer tape is not on the bigcartel, so just send me an email and say hi if you want one.
Following two releases on high-quality US label New Body tapes, Kendall Cahan has his first international release for AST. Loss is four tracks of raw, pummelling techno from the North Carolina native. Obviously, in this field, Container is going to be a reference point, but that is a high compliment right?
Another one that slipped into my inbox and found its way to tape. MOSA are a Russian duo dealing in industrial techno and , oftentimes, heavier themes. Some of the tracks bang with rhythmic aplomb, others just menacingly crackle. This is their first release and the first by a Russian project on AST, please tell ASIO not to tap my emails…
Bead is a relatively new duo comprised of brothers Jacob and Tom and hailing from Canberra. Although only existing for a short period, during this time they have released an excellent tape on Berlin's Instruments Of Discipline, have supported Croatian Amor / Helm and are readying a release for LA label, Chondritic Sound. At times purely harsh and at others more floor-ready, Bead perfectly execute the industrial sound.
Chino is Krakow, Poland's Artur Oles. Following a series of impeccable records, this is Chino's debut on cassette. Eight tracks of perfectly studied techno with edges of the abstract. Between Chino, Lutto Lento and Kosel, I would perhaps suggest that there is a distinctly "Polish" electronic sound being created at the moment and it sounds sweet to my ears.
A new release from one of my favourite Aussie projects currently operating. Following up his Untitled cassette last year on AST, Mat Spisbah's Oil returns with a dare I say more considered release of club-ready techno delivered with an immutable talent. Ambient passages precede and litter the tracks, but this is all about the drum programming. If you weren't aware of Oil previously, now is the time to get slick.
An enigmatic presence crash-landed in Oakland and has since spat out two otherworldly releases on AST faves Goaty Tapes and Not Not Fun. Expect the (completely cooked) unexpected to occur with Magnetizer.

Sunday Afternoon Bowls Club Show w/ Sleep D / Trevor / Roman Nails / Oil / Fia Fiell.
Come down for an afternoon of live electronics at one of Melbourne's best kept secrets, The Brunswick Bowling Club. $5 tinnies, $1 pool, what else do you need.
SLEEP D (DJ Set)
Fresh from a stint in Europe, Frankston's favourite sons grace the Bowls Club with a set of choice cuts. As well as operating the consistently excellent Butter Sessions imprint, Sleep D are themselves masters of crafting floor-ready bangers and are imminently releasing a new 12" on BSR.
James Vinciguerra is Trevor. "The Trevor Chest", a collection of four wonky, cooked cuts was released recently on Sydney label Paradise Daily. Live, Trevor disassembles and reassembles beats on the fly, not allowing room for complacency. Divisive, surely, but one of the greatest electronic spectacles to witness live.
ROMAN NAILS (12" launch)
CV techno luddite Roman Nails plays a rare set to launch his first 12" on UK label, Beat Concern, "All Hardware No Tools".
OIL (Sydney)
As Oil, Mat Spisbah blends the ambient with undoubtedly club-ready tracks. Soon to be dropping his second tape on Altered States Tapes, Clench, Oil is for my money one of the most underrated electronic musicians operating at the moment.
Carolyn Schofield's ambient works as Fia Fiell are mesmering. Having released the "A Hair, A Heap" cassette on Nice Music last year, Schofield continues to evolve her craft through live sets, having played at Freedom Time in June amongst others.
DJ Noem Obliv in-between sets.
Brunswick Bowling Club 104-106 Victoria St, East Brunswick 4pm / $10

text: Very strange thing happened today. I have the standard as-it-came weather widget on my home screen with Chicago, Milwaukee, and Las Vegas as cities to monitor with Chicago being the normal "home" city. Today I'm looking at it and I see that the current city is "Moravske Lieskove" (with various punctuations I'm too lazy to look up the ASCII sequences to recreate). WTF? According to Wikepedia this is a village in western Slovakia. I can't imagine how it got on there and there seems to be no way to get rid of it. When I pull the app up and go into settings to try to delete it there are only 3 cities that show - Chicago, Milw, LV - this place isn't listed. Very bizarre - anybody seen anything like this? Update: OK, after removing the widget from the screen and then going to re-add it I see now it's not the HTC weather widget but instead the HTC clock widget with weather displayed. Still, bizarre behavior. Update2: OK, even more updating. Looks like something's messed up with my GPS settings at the moment. I dragged the Weather Channel widget onto the screen and set it to use current location . . . and lo and behold it is giving me the weather for Slovakia! LOL. OK, some noodling to do on what's munged up with my GPS but this isn't a problem with the widget at all.

Tappan, New York
4 May 1995
Now We Begin Phase II
The restoration of the De Wint house was Phase I," said Committee Chairman Paul P. DeweMathews, "and Phase II is the building of the kitchen." Bids have been received by the Trustees of the Grand Lodge Masonic Hall and Asylum Fund for the addition of a stone and wooden replica kitchen to be added to the north of the house. The kitchen design is based on the earliest pictures of the house.
Site curator, Bill Maurer, said, "The addition of the kitchen will certainly give us more depth in our interpretation of the site. We want to present a balanced picture of life here at the De Wint House and Sparr Kill Farm. We stress General Washington's four visits and now will be able to emphasize everyday life in the eighteenth century."
The first dwelling on the site may have been just north of the present house. De Clark probably built a log or sod house to shelter the family until the crops were in and time became available for the luxury of building a permanent home.
One theory is that the next building was the De Wint House itself in 1700. The kitchen was then added on prior to 1718 between the temporary house and the De Wint House. When the house was expanded about 1850, the frame dwelling that was built on the north side obliterated the kitchen site. The Masons in 1932 -1937 removed the old wooden three story house to preserve the De Clark/De Wint house. Further archaeological digging may find the remains of the early kitchen or more of the kitchen midden (garbage refuse pile).
The kitchen will be completed by September.
De Wint House To Open June 11th
The day and time has been set for the re-opening of the De Wint House. The finishing touches are being made to the masonry, the paint is beginning to dry and the replica tiles from Holland for the north fireplace will be placed. Gala plans have been made for the re-opening on June 11, 1995, a Sunday. The ceremonial ribbon cutting will begin at 2:00 PM.
The restoration of the De Wint House began about a year ago. Beginning with a new roof and changes to the roofs shape, spring eves were added. The changes to the roof eliminated the sky lights and dormers added in the middle of the nineteenth century. The casement windows have been changed, fireplaces rebuilt, and the beams and timbers which suffered extensive termite damage have been replaced.
The goal of the restoration was to preserve and restore this important landmark to the period of 1780. This goal was kept even when the original 1700 jambless fireplaces were discovered and repaired. The date was chosen because twice during that year, General George Washington made the small house his headquarters during the American Revolution.
Plan to visit on Sunday, June 11th, 2:00 PM
ARCHITECT'S DRAWING OF ADD-ON KITCHEN: The kitchen add-on was designed after studying the earliest available paintings and drawings of the De Wint House which were c. 1850. This is the west side or front of the house. The north end will be stone and brick and contain the cooking fireplace.

Curator's Cuppert
from Masonic Outlook, January 1932
by Harry S. Ashmun
Nestling behind a profusion of shade trees, in the quiet village of Tappan, New York, stands a modest brick -house. Seen from the road, the De Wint House, as it is known, might not attract a second glance, except from one interested in early American architecture, who would see in it an outstanding example of early Dutch design.
The house is stored with memories of our Revolutionary War. For on several occasions in 1780 and in 1783 General George Washington made it his Headquarters. On an otherwise uneventful day early in August, 1780, the General arrived in Tappan and graciously accepted the cordial invitation of Major Frederickus Blauvelt to make the home of his father-in-law, Johannes De Wint, his Headquarters. After a stay of about two weeks, the Army and its Commander-in-Chief moved on into Bergen County, New Jersey.
Events moved swiftly in those days and the coming months were to give birth to one of the outstanding episodes of our history, the treason of Benedict Arnold. If Arnold's betrayal had proved successful, not only the outcome of the War, but the lives of all Americans would have followed other channels and would have been directed along other currents. Fortunately, Major John Andre was captured on September 23; Arnold's plot was discovered, and the Colonies retained West Point, where nearly all their gun powder was stored.
Washington hastened back to the De Wint House at Tappan, once more making this delightful brick dwelling his Headquarters. The next day after his arrival (September 29, 1780), he summoned a board of General Officers, consisting of six Major Generals and eight Brigadiers, to inquire into the facts of the Andre case. The presiding officer was General Nathanael Greene; among the others were Generals Lafayette and Von Steuben, all three Craftsmen true.
Washington ordered General Greene to have Andre
guarded vigilantly – but he also wrote: "I wish the room for Major Andre to be a decent one, and that he may be treated with civility." The tavern used as Andre's prison is identical with what is now called the "76 Stone House," an odd name for a structure erected, so the record state, in 1755.
The trial progressed rapidly. The fourteen American Generals had urgent affairs calling them elsewhere. Very quickly the group holding court in the old Dutch Church found the unfortunate British officer guilty of being a spy. Entreaties failed to change the sentence; even threats of reprisals from General Clinton did not avail. He was ordered to be executed.
Meanwhile, General Washington remained apart in the De Wint House, and daily sent food from his own table to the prisoner. Strangely enough, he never saw Andre. That Washington was greatly disturbed there can be no doubt. He even requested that the shutters of his room be closed so that he might not be compelled to witness the erection of the gallows and the execution. These shutters are still hanging on their original wrought iron strap hinges.
The Old House was built by Daniel De Clark in 1700. It is evident that he took considerable pride in his new home, since he went to the trouble to import brick from Holland and have the date "1700" set into the front wall in figures nearly two feet high. Little is known of the mansion until 1746, when it was sold by Rem Remson, of Brooklyn, to Johannes De Wint and his wife, Antje, of New York City.
De Wint was reputed to be a wealthy West Indian planter who retired to Tappan, where he lived in comfort from the income' derived from his sugar plantations on the Island of St. Thomas. Of his eight children, his daughter, Anna Maria, the wife of Major Frederickus Blauvelt, was living with him when Washington was invited to use his home as his own.
The principal room on the lower floor was turned over to Washington. The feature of the room was the mantelpiece. The New York Evening Post, for April 26, 1882, states: "In the many published descriptions of
this room, mention is made of the old Dutch tiles that ornamented its fire-place. These tiles, considering their age, position, delicate workmanship, and freshness of color, form one of the most interesting studies to be met with in America…" Each is "painted in one color – purple, on a white ground, and bears on its surface a Scriptural design, vivid in color and perfect in execution."
The tiles no longer ornament the fire-place, for the room was in recent years used as a kitchen, and to make room for a cooking stove the tiles were removed, but not lost. They are carefully preserved and a chart still in existence shows their exact location, so that in good time they can be restored to their original place.
Although it is now a kitchen, the room is substantially as it was when Washington occupied it. The pegs in the closets where he hung his clothes are still there, and fortunately some of the furniture and all of the fixtures which adorned it in 1780 have been preserved.
The stage of the Revolution moved to other parts of the Colonies. Southward the hostilities swept and at last, in 1781, Cornwallis surrendered. The War was over, but the British troops stayed on American soil, a year elapsing before the treaty of Paris was signed.
The Following May, Washington and General Sir Guy Carleton, commanding officers of the opposing armies, met for the first time – and in the De Wint House. On May 3, Sir Guy and his suite came up the Hudson on one of his Majesty's warships. Washington personally met him and his staff, conducting them to the De Wint Headquarters, where a "sumptuous dinner" was served by Samuel Fraunces (also a Craftsman), imported from New York City for the occasion.
The "conversations" lasted until May 8, when final arrangements were concluded for the evacuation of his Majesty's forces. In the meantime, May 7, Washington paid a ceremonial visit to Carleton on board the British man-of-war lying at anchor in the Hudson. The incident marked the first salute fired by the King's Navy to the American Flag.

An ax-wielding man attacked a Baton Rouge police officer Thursday night, injuring the officer before stealing his police unit and fleeing, authorities said.
Police soon tracked the stolen vehicle to West Baton Rouge Parish, where spike strips helped lead to the capture of Deandre James Trahan, Baton Rouge police said.
Trahan, 41, crashed the stolen BRPD cruiser into a ditch on U.S. 190 about 11:35 p.m. following a brief pursuit, and afterward, authorities arrested him, said Cpl. L'Jean McKneely, a Baton Rouge police spokesman.
"Our job is very dangerous," McKneely said. "We deal with certain types of calls on a daily basis, and you just never know what you're going to be confronted with."
The wild events leading to Trahan's arrest began about half an hour earlier in a residential neighborhood a few blocks north of LSU, McKneely said.
Police were dispatched about 11 p.m. to West Garfield Street, where a man was seen attempting to break into multiple homes using an ax. Area residents recognized the ax-wielder as Trahan because he lived in the area, McKneely said.
Multiple police units were in the area looking for Trahan following the reports by area residents when one officer, a 29-year-old man, thought he saw the suspect.
The officer, a three-year veteran, was in the 400 block of West Johnson Street when the sighting occurred, McKneely said.
But before the officer fully exited his police cruiser, Trahan was on him, McKneely said.
A brief struggle ensued. Before too long, Trahan shoved the officer to the ground, jumped in the police unit and drove away, McKneely said.
The 29-year-old officer was not struck with the ax.
Because the area was saturated with police looking for Trahan, other officers responded to the injured officer before Trahan was out of sight, McKneely said.
Authorities used the GPS installed in the police unit to track the vehicle's whereabouts. By the time police caught up with Trahan, he was driving on La. 415 in West Baton Rouge Parish, McKneely said.
Authorities deployed at least one spike strip during the pursuit. It wasn't long after Trahan drove over the spike strip that he crashed into the ditch, McKneely said.
State Police and West Baton Rouge Parish sheriff's deputies assisted Baton Rouge police with the pursuit.
Trahan exited the stolen unit following the crash, but authorities shocked him multiple times with a stun gun, which allowed them to quickly detain him, McKneely said.
When police examined the stolen unit, the ax was still inside, McKneely said.
The injured officer and Trahan were hospitalized following the incident. The officer, whose identity was not released by police, was treated and released with "moderate injuries," McKneely said.
Trahan, 811 W. Garfield St., was taken from a hospital to the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. He was booked on counts of armed robbery and criminal damage to property.
As of Friday afternoon, it wasn't clear whether Trahan's bail had been set.
McKneely said police aren't yet sure about the motive behind Trahan's actions. Trahan could be booked on additional counts as the investigation progresses, McKneely said.
"It's fortunate that no one lost their life," McKneely said.

Why not use DropBox to send your photos as it is a lot simpler to use than Microsoft's Skydrive?
You install DropBox on your PC, create a folder within it and copy all your photos to it. you then can simply share the folder with your brother, he does not need to have DropBox installed, but it is even simpler if he does as you can share a folder and anything that go in from you or your brother can instantly be accessed by the other.
I have been using it for years,great bit of software.

|Normal distribution probability density functions
The normal distribution or Gaussian distribution is a continuous probability distribution that describes data that clusters around a mean or average. The graph of the associated probability density function is bell-shaped, with a peak at the mean, and is known as the Gaussian function or bell curve.
The normal distribution can be used to describe, at least approximately, any variable that tends to cluster around the mean. For example, the heights of adult males in the United States are roughly normally distributed, with a mean of about 70 inches.

Wieseltier vs. Sullivan vs. Kristol: Jew-Baiting, Gay-Baiting, Red-Baiting… Yada, Yada, Yada
Readers of The New Republic know that Leon Wieseltier has an acid pen. But does he also have an itchy trigger finger?
Former TNR editor turned top-tier blogger Andrew Sullivan is fuming after Wieseltier, the magazine's fiercely brilliant and eloquently mean literary editor, accused him of "Jew-baiting."
'Munich' Gets 'Knocked Up'
When it was released in December 2005, Steven Spielberg's "Munich" — the story of the Israeli agents tasked with assassinating those responsible for the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre — was criticized in some corners of the Jewish world for what was seen as lily-livered progressivism or, worse, downright hostility to Israel.
The New Republic's Leon Wieseltier wrote that that the film was "soaked in the sweat of its idea of evenhandedness," and that its "mechanical symmetries" came perilously close to "the sin of equivalence." Mort Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, took matters a step further, arguing that the film "libels" Israel and humanizes Palestinian "haters and killers." Klein ultimately urged a boycott.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – Oscar Pistorius's neighbor is haunted by the screams she remembers hearing that night.
The terrifying sounds were followed by desperate calls for help, and then more screams, worse this time, Michelle Burger told a Pretoria court Monday. And then four gunshots.
Burger's dramatic testimony began the highly anticipated trial of Pistorius, the South African Olympic and Paralympic sprinter accused of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in the early hours of Feb. 14, 2013.
In a country where violent home invasions are a frighteningly real prospect, Burger heard the woman screaming and thought that neighbors were under attack by robbers. Perhaps the woman's husband had been shot, she thought.
"It was the most helpless screaming I have ever heard in my life. I knew something terrible was happening in that house," Burger told the court. "You only shout like that if your life was really threatened. It was bloodcurdling."
"I knew something terrible was happening in that house."
"It was very traumatic," she added. "You can't translate it into words, the anxiousness in her voice and fear. It leaves you cold."
Strangely, Pistorius's defense in the trial is that he, like Burger, thought there might be a robber in his home. The athlete claims he mistook Steenkamp, a law graduate turned model and reality TV star, for an intruder who had broken into his house and was hiding behind a bathroom door.
Pistorius's murder trial is being covered by hundreds of reporters from South Africa and around the world. On Monday outside the North Gauteng High Court in downtown Pretoria, a drone carrying cameras filmed from overhead, while the street was lined with TV satellite trucks and journalists.
A "pop up" TV channel devoted to 24-hour coverage of the trial launched Sunday night in South Africa, featuring commentators including O.J. Simpson defender Robert Shapiro, American forensic experts, and police consultants to crime dramas like "Dexter."
In court, Burger was cross-examined by defense lawyer Barry Roux, who suggested she might have heard not gunshots, but rather the sound of Pistorius bashing down the bathroom door with a cricket bat after he realized it wasn't an intruder.
Burger, gesturing to the courtroom, said that most people — and "especially South Africans" — would be familiar enough with the sound of gunshots to tell the difference.
While crime rates have declined in South Africa in recent years, serious, violent crime remains abnormally high compared to many other countries.
Throughout the day, Pistorius sat in the dock scribbling furiously in a notepad, at times passing notes to his legal team. While in the past Pistorius has seemed shaken and emotional at court appearances, he now appeared actively engaged in the proceedings.
The 27-year-old's family members, including sister Aimee and brother Carl, were there to support them. Nearby sat Steenkamp's mother June, who was facing her daughter's killer for the first time.
Asked to respond to the murder charge against him, Pistorius, in a dark suit and tie, told Judge Thokozile Mapisa: "Not guilty, m'lady." He also pleaded not guilty to unlawful possession of ammunition that was found at his house during the police investigation, and two unrelated charges of recklessly discharging a firearm — once at a Johannesburg restaurant and once through the sunroof of a girlfriend's car.
The trial is scheduled to continue for three weeks, but may go longer. And the stakes are high: local commentators have described it as not only Pistorius on trial, but South Africa's criminal justice system as well.

It took almost half a year to reach us, but it's here, and we've spent a good deal of time with it.
The ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe is now possibly rolling out to a store near you. Is it good? Yes — it's a solid smartphone effort. But is it brilliant? Well, it is in one way. And therein lies the rub: ASUS could, and should, have done more to make the Deluxe stand out and be memorable, pricing be damned. Those of you expecting a strong phone of the year candidate will be disappointed.
Wolf in sheep's clothing
Let's start off with something positive: performance. The Deluxe is, without any shade of doubt, the fastest and most capable ZenFone ever made. And you don't have to look far for answers as to why that is; inside, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor — or 821, depending on the configuration (our review unit uses an 820) — hums along with 6GB of RAM, providing the speed and seamless multitasking you'd expect from a 2016 Android flagship.
The ZenFone 3 Deluxe is fast. Really fast. It unlocks in a fraction of a second; apps load up the moment you tap them; switching between windows is smooth and snappy; and we couldn't find a game to slow this beast down, despite all the pre-installed apps, or bloatware, ASUS included on the handset. (A quick aside: You can uninstall most, but not all, of the preloaded stuff — and you should. While you're at it, consider downloading icon packs from the Google Play Store; the square-ish stock icons don't look that great.)
Charging the 3,000mAh battery from zero to 100 percent takes an hour and a half using the supplied USB-C cable and power adapter, so you can leave the device plugged in while you're in the shower, and by the time you finish dressing in the morning, it should have enough power to keep the lights on until night time. The battery typically lasts a day on a full charge.
The flash storage goes as high as 256GB on the most specced-out (and most expensive) model, though our unit maxes out at 64GB. But then again, 64GB is probably enough for most people's needs — it really should be. If that isn't the case, the second SIM slot can be used to expand the storage using a microSD card.
Speed is the highlight here, and the Deluxe doesn't disappoint in the foot race. But to say it's the fastest phone you can buy at any price, the human equivalent of Usain Bolt, would be ignoring the brilliance of other flagships in Android land and beyond. The Pixel and OnePlus 3 are more responsive than the Deluxe; we can say the same about the iPhone 7, too.
In fact, you don't have to think hard to find an Android flagship that can keep up with ASUS' latest and greatest. And that's a concern because this phone doesn't have any other killer feature to speak of. None whatsoever, really.
Sure, the full-metal jacket is smooth to the touch and feels nice in the hand thanks to its curved rear end and contoured edges. It slides easily in and out of the pocket as well. And those antenna bands that run across the backs of metal phones? You won't find them here; ASUS has found a way to hide them without affecting signal performance. (Psst. Did you hear that, Apple?)
These positives aside, though, the Deluxe doesn't offer any kind of protection against water damage, doesn't have two rear cameras or attachment points for modular accessories like the Moto Z. Its display doesn't bend on either side, and the resolution is 1080p, whereas rivals from Samsung, Motorola, and LG all step up to Quad HD panels. Worse still, the design doesn't stand out starkly compared to the best choices in the mid- to high-end range.
All this to say, the hardware, though undeniably capable and fit for purpose, does not impress the way others would, especially given its lofty pricing.
Missing the finer details
The front is completely flat from edge to edge — no 2.5D glass to make swiping feel more natural — and carries ASUS' concentric-centric styling, though it is somewhat awkwardly designed: the 5.7-inch AMOLED screen is framed by thick black borders, with a bottom bar containing three capacitive keys that fall too close to the bottom edge, oblivious to the space above them. The top bar contains the earpiece and selfie camera.
The display is very good, better than what we had anticipated on a non-Samsung phone. Judged by the yardstick that is Sammy's AMOLED technology, it measures up quite nicely, providing colors with impeccable contrast and deep blacks, as well as strong viewing angles. Brightness levels are high enough to use the phone comfortably under direct sunlight.
Of course, it won't stack up to a Quad HD panel in terms of sharpness, but it should be more than enough for the occasional Netflix binge. What we're not happy to see, however, are those borders: While they give the illusion of being bezel-free when the screen is off, they can be a distraction sometimes.
Just recently, ASUS issued a software update that added always-on functionality to the display. When activated in the Settings menu, this feature will display the date, time, battery status, and number of unread messages and missed calls when the screen goes black. It drains the battery more quickly, but only noticeably if it is constantly in use.
Click, click
The ZenFone 3 Deluxe carries a 23-megapixel camera that has a maximum aperture of f/2.0 and a large pixel size to collect more light and improve the detail in the images. Well, at least that's the theory; in practice, we found its camera to be no better than what Samsung, Google, and Apple have done with their mobile cameras.
When light is scarce, the gap widens, and the Deluxe finds itself on the losing end of the comparison. On a positive note, the phone got better at taking photos after a software update, so there's hope yet.
The 8-megapixel selfie camera is pretty great — most will like its color reproduction and wide-angle lens. It struggles a bit in low light but no more than the competition.
Is this your GadgetMatch?
The unit sent to us is right up there with the latest iPhones and Galaxy S7s, price-wise, retailing for $700, or P34,995, in the Philippines. Meanwhile, the highest-end model, with a Snapdragon 821 chip and 256GB of storage, costs $900 (P44,995) locally. So if you don't mind coughing up iPhone money for an Android flagship, then, sure, consider it. But don't decide on anything until you've seen what the competition is like.
Not that we find anything inherently wrong with ASUS seeking better profit margins by asking customers to pay more. Problem is, the ZenFone 3 Deluxe doesn't offer any compelling advantage over the premium-priced competition — besides what's on the inside, of course — or anything superfluous, at the very least, to justify its price tag.
Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge has a gorgeous display that wraps around the sides of the device; the Moto Z is almost alarmingly thin, and has accessories that can be slapped on willy-nilly; the Xiaomi Mi Mix has a bonkers edge-to-edge, retina-melting screen; the Apple iPhone 7 Plus, LG V20, and Huawei P9 Plus all have twice as many cameras on the back; even the Pixel has a digital assistant that's almost as capable and resourceful as a real person. And then there's the OnePlus 3, which shares the same internals as our test phone but provides a better Android experience for a modest sum of $400. We could go on.
The ZenFone 3 Deluxe, though a worthy flagship entry by company standards, just doesn't cut it anymore in the broad scheme of things.

URSA Mini Pro is the world's first all-purpose digital film camera designed specifically to address the needs of high-pressure live productions such as news, documentaries and sports broadcasts. At just $5995, it is an affordable, lightweight system pairing Hollywood image quality with the professional functionality of broadcast news cameras.
Affordability is just one factor in the successful democratisation of technology. Equipped with inexpensive tools, independent filmmakers and freelance videographers are leveraging non-traditional online channels like Vimeo and The Independent Online to distribute professional cinematic and live content.
URSA Mini Pro's universal lens mount system is engineered for customisation to a user's specific workflow and existing set of lenses. Offering popular DSLR standards like Canon EF and Nikon lens mounts alongside cinematic PL and live broadcast B4 video options, URSA Mini Pro caters to a wide variety of shooting scenarios. Easily disengaged via four fasteners, users can even swap lens mounts during a shoot.
The demands of live broadcasts are squarely at odds with cinematic workflows. Cinematographers, supported by large crews, shoot scenes repeatedly to achieve desired composition and performance. Live sport or breaking news however, involves erratic subjects, weather conditions and fleeting chances to capture key moments.
URSA Mini Pro offers instant access to features via ergonomically located physical buttons, dials and selection controls, coping easily with the volatility of live situations.
Eliminating missed shots from distracting menu-based UIs, the front control panel offers tactile cues for direct blind control of ISO, shutter, and white balance. A high contrast LCD allows at-a-glance diagnostic review.
Operators on live broadcasts or on-location film shoots must adapt quickly to changing light conditions and unpredictable situations.
Rotating the knob to engage URSA Mini Pro's bespoke, internal neutral density (ND) filter wheel, users can adjust light intensity by incremental stops. This allows operators to instantly adapt to sudden changes in light, such as those when transitioning from indoors to outdoors.
Cameras with inferior electronic ND filters, prone to undesirable colour shifts, and a reduction of available light even when inactive, are unusable in low light. URSA Mini Pro's optically clear glass filters maximise available light for optimum versatility and preservation of precious image quality.
It is not uncommon for camera operators to spend weeks, even months on-location for a single shoot. Conditions are often harsh: cramped, remote and exposed; with equipment that is more often than not cumbersome, heavy and complex.
Informed by insight from tireless on-set observation, URSA Mini Pro has been carefully developed as a more empathetic solution. Lightweight, balanced and highly adjustable its considered ergonomics encourage comfortable, natural shooting positions that reduces fatigue and long-term injury.
Exported to 87 countries worldwide, The Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro complies with all relevant safety standards and regulations, including AS/NZS 60950, FCC, CE, RCM, WEE & ROHS.
Sculpted efficiently around a compact image sensor module and thermal management system, URSA Mini Pro's lightweight magnesium alloy enclosure is precisely honed for optimal size and weight distribution. This provides effortless, balanced handling, critical for accurate focus and composition.
URSA Mini Pro's muscular posture and tactical detailing epitomises its high performance nature and a military-grade durability that commands respect in demanding production scenarios. This is tempered by optimising the camera's perceived size with tapering side panels, protruding connection pods and weight-saving apertures to create a space efficient and visually striking package.
Facilitating high-end performance requires precise thermal control to prevent potentially damaging levels of heat. Typical cameras manage this with noisy, fast-turning fans; problematic on whisper quiet film sets.
URSA Mini Pro's liquid cooled system silently maintains optimal thermal levels, even when running sustained high frame rates.
An active refrigeration unit draws heat away from the sensitive image sensor, transferring it efficiently through liquid cooled pipes to the modular central heat exchange, which uses assisted natural convection to silently dissipate heat.
An issue for any production is the high capital investment required for capturing, monitoring and distributing professional content.
High-end camera systems can cost over $50,000, making it impossible for smaller enterprises to own equipment, forced instead to rely on ad-hoc, second-hand rentals.
A core value of Blackmagic Design is to empower creative people with affordable, accessible technology. With due consideration to engineering, assembly and manufacturing processes, a price of $5995 was met without compromising the performance professionals demand.
Equipped for Hollywood and the rigours of prime-time live broadcasts, URSA Mini Pro is an affordable solution for independents and grass-roots broadcasters.
URSA Mini Pro's durable body ensures a long working life, preventing short-term waste. Easily disassembled for recycling, it permits future sensor and lens mount variants with no additional tooling. Side panels can be easily removed for servicing or replacement with future modular upgrades, further expanding the camera's versatility.
The cooling unit can also be removed for replacement without special tools, extending the camera's life should it fail. Waste is further reduced with reusable packaging, designed to act as a protective insert for safe transportation in a road case.

What is/are your fallback, tried-and-true, everyone-loves-it menu item(s)? When we entertain, we usually have a good idea of palates, but there is the occasion when someone says they just don't care what we serve or when I can't find out their dislikes.
Here's my generic please 'em menu:
strawberry salad (on fresh spinach with almonds)
chicken dish (usually baked, like a piccata)
meatless pasta (e.g., mushrooms, tomatoes, olive oil, spinach)
some kind of steamed veggie
dessert can be anything from sorbet to a cake
Curious about your choices, since I'm looking for more creative alternatives to my main dishes.

The Sphero SPRK+ is a great way to learn about programming and robotics and it's easier to write your code on the same device that you want to control the Sphero SPRK+. It's hard to write a lot of code using a phone so tablets like the 9.7-inch iPad Pro are a better coding development platform, especially when paired with the Smart Keyboard for 9.7-inch iPad Pro.
To set up the Sphero SPRK+ on the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, you should download the the SPRK Learning Lab App from the App Store.
After opening up the Lightning Lab App, you will need to sign in with your Lightning Lab account or create a new one if you don't have on already.
By default, you can create programs using blocks but there is also an option to use the App's Canvas editor to create text based programs using Sphero's C-like Oval language. You can also directly start the program to run on your Sphero SPRK+ from the editor by pressing the Start button.
While sometimes the Bluetooth connection between the Sphero SPRK+ and the 9.7-inch iPad Pro worked, invariably at some point the connection became lost. For example, when trying to directly drive the Sphero SPRK+, the App would report that 'SPRK+ Connected' followed by 'Robot Disconnected'. The App would then repeat connecting and disconnecting to the Sphero SPRK+.
We could even see that even in the 9.7-inch iPad Pro's Bluetooth screen, the 'SK-90A2' representing the Sphero alternated between connected and not connected.s
The 9.7-inch iPad Pro does not use the traditional Bluetooth pairing process do don't try to pair the device from the iPad's Bluetooth settings or you'll just get a warning message stating that pairing was unsuccessful.
To connect to the Sphero SPRK+ over Bluetooth SMART, all you need to do is bring the 9.7-inch iPad Pro close to the Sphero SPRK+.
We also tried to connect to the Sphero SPRK+ by using the Sphero App. Again, we went to the App Store to download and install this App.
Here again the Sphero was often not found.
Sometimes, the connection was also successful giving some hope, only to see it dashed later when connect was lost again.
It seemed like no matter what happened, at some point the Sphero SPRK+ would eventually get into some sort of bad or sleep kind of state at which point it would refuse the Bluetooth connection. Sometimes we were able to fix this temporarily by putting the Sphero SPRK+ into the charging base to reset and wake it up, but this fix would not last long.
We also forced firmware updates on the Sphero SPRK+ but that didn't solve the problem either.
Eventually, we found the root cause of the problem being that the Sphero SPRK+ was not charging correctly and losing Bluetooth connection mostly due to the battery simply dying out and the Sphero and Lightning Lab Apps not making it clear how much battery charge is left in the Sphero.
First, it's important to make sure that the Sphero SPRK+ is actually charging in the wireless charging base. By simply placing the Sphero on top of the base does not guarantee that charging is happening. You still need to make sure the inductive charging coils are aligned by making sure the Sphero SPRK+ circuit board is really level to the ground.
You should then go to the Lightning Lab App's Home Screen's Feed Page and select 'Connect Robot'.
Once you have touched the Sphero SPRK+ to the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, the two devices should be automatically connected over Bluetooth. If the devices do not pair, you may need to wake up the Sphero SPRK+ by tapping it a few times.
On the top of the Lightning Lab App's Home Screen's Feed Page, you should be able to see the battery level of the Sphero SPRK+. If it doesn't show a charging symbol while on the wireless charging base, you may need to make sure the Sphero SPRK+ center circuit board is parallel to the ground so that the inductive charging coils are lined up. Once the Sphero SPRK+ is charging correctly, you should see a white charging symbol.
Make sure the Sphero SPRK+ is well charged by seeing a green battery logo before using it or else you may see frequent Bluetooth connection drop outs as described above.
Once we made sure the Sphero SPRK+ was charging correctly and used it starting with a good charge, the Bluetooth connection became a lot more stable and the entire Sphero SPRK+ and Lightning Lab experience much more enjoyable.

Correction Appended
Even by the standards of New York City, one of the earliest settlements in North America, 282 years is a long time. That is how long the Collegiate Church Corporation has owned the land where the Corbin Building sits at 11 John Street and Broadway in Lower Manhattan.
But on Friday, the land and the building will be taken by eminent domain (along with three other buildings owned by the church) for the new Fulton Street Transit Center. Originally all four buildings were to be demolished, but after a community tussle, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority agreed to incorporate the basement and first floor of the Corbin Building, built in 1888-89, into the design of the station and to leave the rest of the edifice intact.
Now, with the building's upper floors available for redevelopment, the Collegiate Church wants to turn the building into the New Amsterdam Center, a collection of Dutch-related historic, cultural and business enterprises in honor of its religious heritage and New York City's first settlers.
"We support the transit center, and we're not objecting to eminent domain," said Casey R. Kemper, president of Collegiate Realty, the real estate arm of the church. "But our heritage should be respected. We've owned the land for almost 300 years."
The Collegiate Church claims to be the oldest Protestant congregation with a continuous ministry in the United States. Members of the Dutch Reformed Church began meeting in 1626 in Lower Manhattan, and the congregation later became known as the Collegiate Church.Continue reading the main story
The Collegiate Church has owned the land that the Corbin sits on since 1724. The corporation now oversees four churches in Manhattan, including Marble Collegiate, where Dr. Norman Vincent Peale preached for many years.
The management of Collegiate Church has told the authority that it wants to either repurchase the building or retain control through a master lease, but it was told that the M.T.A. would not deal with that until the transit project was finished.
The work will turn the Fulton Street subway station into a $750 million transit center with six subway lines and retail and office space. It is already behind schedule and has been scaled back because of budget constraints.
"They have expressed interest in working with us," said Tom Kelly, a spokesman for the authority. "We have told them we will work with them at the end of the project."
But Collegiate Church believes that now is the time to hammer out the details. With ownership of the Corbin and three other buildings about to be transferred through eminent domain, negotiations for "just compensation" are set to begin. Under this process, the owner and the taker come to an agreement about the value of the buildings and land.
A developer hired by the Collegiate Church to put together the New Amsterdam Center proposal says that waiting until the Fulton Street Transit Center is complete would scuttle the plan.
"There is about a three- to six-month window of opportunity," said Ad Hereijgers, a native of the Netherlands who has a real estate and development office in New York called New Amsterdam Development Consultants. "The people I'm talking to about moving into the Corbin Building can't wait until the project is complete to decide if they can relocate."
The vision for the New Amsterdam Center is to assemble under one roof New York's earliest historically relevant organizations supported by Dutch commercial interests.
The anchor tenant would be the New Amsterdam History Center, run jointly by the Collegiate Church and the New Netherland Institute, which is now in Albany. The institute has undertaken the New Netherland Project, which involves translating all Dutch documents related to New York's earliest founding. Other floors would be dedicated to Dutch cultural organizations, like the Netherlands Architectural Institute, a museum of historical and contemporary Dutch architecture based in Rotterdam. There are also plans for a media center, office space and a rooftop restaurant.
Jacob Willemsen owns the New Amsterdam Trade and Consultancy, which is in Midtown and provides desk space to Dutch-based companies that prefer not to set up an independent office. "All my desks are fully booked, and there's a demand for offices like this," Mr. Willemsen said. He has toured the Corbin Building and would like to become part of the New Amsterdam Center. "I could easily take two floors in the building, and it would be good for New York's heritage."
Henry Hudson sailed into the harbor in late August 1609 for the Dutch East India Company, paving the way for the Dutch to become the first settlers of "Manna-hata," as the island was originally referred to, according to "The Island at the Center of the World," a history of Dutch Manhattan by Russell Shorto. England eventually wrested control of New Amsterdam from the Dutch and renamed it New York.
While the land that the Corbin occupies has been in Dutch-affiliated hands for nearly 300 years, the eight-story Corbin Building was erected in 1888-89 for Austin Corbin, an English businessman. It was designed by Francis Hatch Kimball, one of Manhattan's most important pre-skyscraper architects, and is one of the more distinctive buildings in Lower Manhattan, with an irregular shape, red terra-cotta facade, Romanesque detailing and the original interior stairway and railing. The New York Landmarks Conservancy led an effort to have it protected, and it was placed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places in 2003.
The Collegiate Church hopes to have the New Amsterdam Center open by August 2009, the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's arrival. "We have a certain amount of leverage now that we won't have later," Mr. Kemper said. "We plan to enter into the just-compensation negotiations about what we expect to get for all the buildings -- including continued involvement with the Corbin -- and everyone can come out smelling like a rose. Otherwise, we're concerned about how long this will drag on.
"Everyone agrees that Lower Manhattan should have more historical, cultural and commercial interests to help it recover from Sept. 11. And that's precisely what this would be."
SQUARE FEET Correction: April 5, 2006, Wednesday An article in the Square Feet pages of Business Day last Wednesday about a plan to create a New Amsterdam Center in the Corbin Building in Lower Manhattan misstated the nationality of Austin Corbin, the businessman who commissioned the building in the 1880's. He was American, not English.Continue reading the main story

* Industrial capacity use rises to 81.1 pct
* Q4 revised down to 80.5 pct from 80.7 pct
* Oil and gas industries rebound from slowdown
* Manufacturing up slightly, transportation equipment down
OTTAWA, June 13 (Reuters) - Canada's industries operated at 81.1 percent of capacity in the first quarter, rebounding from a weak second half of 2012, according to Statistics Canada data released on Thursday.
But the rate was less than the 81.5 percent median forecast in a Reuters survey of analysts. The fourth-quarter rate was revised down to 80.5 percent from 80.7 percent.
"Mining, oil and gas extraction was the main source of the overall increase in capacity use in the first quarter," Statscan said. The oil and gas extraction industry, which slowed down in the second half of 2012, saw its capacity use rise 1.8 percentage points to 87.4 percent.
The manufacturing sector rose 0.2 point to 79.7 percent after two quarters of decline.
The transportation equipment subsector, which includes the auto industry, fell 2.5 points to 85.9 percent.

text: http://www.bootyfurl.blogspot.com http://www.twitter.com/bootyfurl YES that caught your attention So yes this seems ambitious but what's wrong with ambition? It's good to aim high right? Tell yourself that you can and YOU WILL. Sub title for this can be "MAX GROWTH 2012" - have you ever wondered what the absolute maximum is your hair can grow in a year? Let's find out! Check-In: December 31, 2011 / January 1, 2012 'Thank' this post to join You may use all or some of these methods listed below: 1. Scalp massages everyday we should be moisturising everyday even with protective styling so take a few minutes to massage your scalp with your fingers!). If you have soreness, avoid that area of your head and/or do it more gentler like a relaxing gentle massage, these few minutes could be your relaxation and reflection or the day I suggest incorporating oils, e.g a carrier oil mixed with essential oil. My carrier oil will be castor oil and trying mixing it with different essential oils e.g peppermint. 2. Protective styles/low manipulation styles at at least 3 to 5 days out of the week.* 3. No heat until December 31, 2012.*Exceptions for special occasions and if so, stretch out your hair first using Curlformers and/or overnight twist outs/braid outs (detangle first), unravel in the morning, spritz with water spray, blow dry on low heat and always use lots of heat protection! Only use heat if you have to. 4. Mild exercise often, this could be in the form of a brisk walk daily. Alter/cater for your wants/needs. 5. Incorporate either the Green House Effect or baggying method nightly/weekly (depends on what styles you'll be having) 6. Only get trims when necessary and if so use the "search and destroy" method. 7. Moisturize and seal everyday. 8. Whenever you shampoo, co-wash and deep conditioning, pre-poo if you must (particularly coconut oil to reduce swelling), make sure to detangle (includes finger combing) and divide hair into sections when washing it.* 9. In the winter month when wearing hats, wear either a silk bonnet underneath the hat OR have silk lining in the hat to protect hair. 10. Sleep with a silk or satin scarf every night or a silk pillowcase and/or both! 11. Drink lots of water I can assure you that if it wasn't for water, my hair wouldn't have grown to the length it is now. Drink it anyways for your health. Water allows the nutrients to circulate throughout your body. 12. Eat a healthy and BALANCED diet. Make sure to try and incorporate many fruits and vegetables a day. Some foods that really promote hair growth: fish (omega 3 fatty acids), eggs (omega three fatty acids), oranges (full of vitamin c), nuts (particularly almonds which strengthen hair and produces a shine), carrots (full of vitamin A and makes hair shiny), broccoli (calcium), spinach, bananas (full of biotin), meat/fish (protein), etc. As for vegetables, even if you don't like them now, your taste buds will adapt to the tastes and you may start to love them! 13. Take a daily multi-vitamin. 14. Use a growth aid. It can be anything from, e.g CastorOil/JBCO etc *- the list is endless. 15. Reduce stress. Don't worry, be happy! Yoga, meditation, relaxing, simply reduce it because it can slow down hair growth. SLEEP. SMILE. BREATHE - scalp massages in #1 can help! 16. If you are relaxed/texlaxed/transitioning, try your best to stretch your relaxers to as long as you feel is reasonable. Simply try to keep your hair in the best shape possible. 17. Every day, say a positive affirmation about yourself to motivate yourself. If you believe, YOU ARE. 18. Every two months (1st of that month) do a length check to see how you are coming along.* 19. Every month simply post on the wall on how you're doing, how much growth you have had etc 20. (20 for 2012!)

PREVIEW: EAFF E-1 Men's Football Championship Round 2
The EAFF E-1 Football Championship 2017 Round 2 kicks off on Sunday as hosts Hong Kong, Guam, DPR Korea, and Chinese Taipei vie for the right to join reigning champions South Korea, China, and hosts Japan in the December 2017 final round.
Since the 2002 founding of the East Asian Football Federation, the tournament has served an important role for both the region's leading and developing nations. With squads drawn from Asia-based players, the final round has given FIFA World Cup and AFC Asian Cup participants such as Japan and South Korea a chance to evaluate domestic talent ahead of major international tournaments.
Meanwhile the two preliminary rounds, which take place the year before the final competition, serve as a measuring stick for the development of smaller member nations and in recent years have produced increasingly competitive results.
Guam's national team burst into the limelight last year under the tutelage of English coach Gary White, taking the team to their first ever World Cup Qualification win against Turkmenistan and their highest ever FIFA ranking of 147 in the same year.
While White has since taken over at Chinese club side Shanghai Shenxin, his legacy continues with many of the same coaching staff now being led by American Darren Sawatzky, a former director of the Seattle Sounders Academy where White once plied his trade. Guam will be aiming for their first ever qualification to the EAFF East Asian Cup final, and will be led by the experience of captain Jason Cunliffe and Los Angeles Galaxy star AJ Delagarza.
Kim Pan-Gon's Hong Kong head into the tournament ready to impress on home ground, having recently shown good form in friendly wins at Cambodia and against Singapore in October, in addition to a 4-2 home win against Cambodia in September.
Observers will be keen to note the team's multicultural makeup, and indeed the squad boasts many naturalised players such as Nigerian-born Alexander Oluwatayo Akande, striker Godfred Karikari from Ghana, and strong defenders such as Festus Baise, Roberto Orlando Affonso Júnior, and Jonathan Jack Sealy.
But while imports make up nearly 40 percent of the squad, there are still several domestic standouts such as all-time leading national team scorer Chan Siu Ki and midfielder Huang Yang.
DPR Korea will face their first competitive fixtures under head coach Jorn Andersen, their first foreign manager in over two decades. The Norwegian has focused on developing the secretive nation for future competitions, with plenty of young players called up to the handful of friendlies that they have played since the former Mainz coach joined in May.
The team are favourites for the qualifiers after finishing in third place in last year's final tournament and results have been varied, but youth and inexperience have been reflective of their mixed recent results, highlighted by a 5-2 decimation by Vietnam. Key to their success will be their defensive ability and strong performances by captain/goalkeeper Ri Mong Guk.
Chinese Taipei have a challenge ahead of them as they look to escape a crowded field and reach their first-ever E-1 Championship final.
Under the tutelage of Toshiaki Imai, the 161st-ranked FIFA nation easily qualified for Round 2 after defeating Northern Marianas Islands (8-1), Mongolia (2-0) and Macau (3-2) in Guam this summer. Last month, they reached the third round of 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualifying with a pair of 2-1 wins over Timor Leste.
This week the CTFA announced the arrival of new head coach Kazuo Kuroda, a former high school coach and Vissel Kobe academy director who raised future stars such as Shinji Okazaki and Mu Kanazaki. He'll have a number of local talent available to him, including midfielder and team captain Yi-Wei Chen of Taipower Company FC as well as Hangzhou Greentown striker Po-Liang Chen.

Interview with Jacob Stevens of Riverman Media
We had a chance to talk to Jacob Stevens of Riverman Media, a small independent game development studio. We recently reviewed their iPhone and iPad game, The Executive, and gave it a glowing review. Hence, we wanted to know more details about the developer. We discussed their history, dreams, how is it working with a family member, expectations, game engine they use, pricing, etc.
Could you share with us the history of Riverman Media?
My brother Paul and I founded the company in 2005. He was beginning college and I had just graduated. Both of us had been interested in making games for as long as we could remember, and finally our skills were starting to reach the point where we could create marketable products. Our first project was a casual PC game called "Cash Cow" that was based on a concept our good friend Tim Winsky of twinskygames.com came up with. After Cash Cow we worked a bit more on PC, then the Wii, before starting iOS development.
How did you arrive at the name?
It's a secret to everyone! But if you examine our influences, you might be able to figure it out…
Did you dream of becoming a game developer growing up?
Absolutely. I seriously cannot remember a time when I did not want to make games. From the very first time I played Super Mario Bros. on NES, I knew that making games was my calling.
What are some of the games that served as an inspiration?
Paul and I are both products of the golden age of Nintendo. Our earliest influences are the NES Mario and Zelda games, followed by SNES classics like Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger. We of course played 3D games when they started taking over the console industry, but the bedrock of our inspiration is NES and SNES.
Could you describe how is it working with your brother, Paul?
It's fantastic! I'm the artist and musician, and he's the programmer. I'm typically the abstract "high concept" guy, so it's my job to come up with the basic characters, mood, and scenario. He's more nuts-and-bolts oriented, focusing on creating refined mechanics and level design. There's a great balance between our approaches that works out well.
The Executive is the 9th game under your belt. How did you come about with the gameplay idea?
The gameplay concept originally came from Paul's observation that there really weren't any games that captured the spirit of classic Kung Fu movies like those made by Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. That is, a combination of rapid fight sequences and outrageous acrobatic stunts. With the spirit of those movies in mind, we spent over a year and a half prototyping the controls and mechanics that we felt adequately captured the fast-paced and intense feel of those movies.
The Executive is arguably one of the best iPhone and iPad games we've played this year (we even rated it 4.5 out of 5 stars on our review). Did you expect to receive a warm reception from critics (93/100 metascore rating on Metacritic) and players alike?
Not at all! The Executive was, without a doubt, our most difficult development project ever. As I said earlier, we spent months and months of trial and error (mostly error) just trying to figure out the controls. Consequently, the development cycle took about three times longer than we expected. Because of all these challenges, I didn't always have much confidence that we were creating a solid product. Luckily, Paul helped maintain the focus and vision, and I'm thrilled at the positive reception The Executive has received.
What are the pros and cons of being a small and self-funded independent game development studio?
I wouldn't trade this job for anything, but there are certainly challenges. On the upside, we get to do whatever we want all day, create whatever we want, and market it the way we want to. We've got an unbelievable amount of freedom. On the other hand, the competition is intense, and each release is subject to a terrifying amount of luck. What if we happen to release a game on the same day that an Infinity Blade game is launched? Our game, which we could have easily spent over a year creating, might be totally lost in the shuffle, making it difficult to pay the bills.
You focus on the art of 2D game making. What game engine do you use?
Paul created our engine from scratch using OpenGL. The only external library we use is Box2D for physics.
Are we going to see your games on Android or do you intend to focus on the iOS platform? Why?
We are working with other companies to release Android ports. Being a two-person team, it's work we aren't able to take on ourselves, but we certainly want Android gamers to be able to play our games.
The price of The Executive is $4.99. How did you decide on the pricing?
Before each launch we do a survey of games with similar scope and similar audience, and choose the price accordingly.
What's the future like for Riverman Media?
Good question! We'd like to know that ourselves. Now that we've been working with touchscreens for several years, we'd like to get back to making games that use a controller. Maybe something on Apple TV? Who knows!
Lastly, any final words to our readers?
This is a fantastic time to be a gamer, with so many types of games available, from Triple-A console games with 100-hour playtimes, to free mobile games that can be played in a few seconds. There's a place in the world for all sorts of gaming experiences for every type of player. Please just remember, the types of games that get made tomorrow are the ones that are earning money today, so vote with your dollars! If any of those dollars happen to go toward a Riverman Media game, we sincerely thank you and can't wait to show you what we have in store for you next!
Be sure to check out their official website and follow Riverman Media on social media (Facebook, Twitter).
