Nintendo's Switch may be the popular console on the playground, but make no mistake, Sony's PlayStation 4 is the most popular console in the world—and nothing else even comes close. If you're thinking of buying a new system, PS4 is a great choice. If your friends own any console, it's likely the PS4, and it's home to most of the top games in the last five years.
Below are the best bundle deals and cheap prices we could find on the PS4, PS4 Pro (an upgraded PS4 for 4K TVs), and PlayStation VR. We've included a bunch of retailers to give you some options if various bundles sell out. We'll keep this list up to date so check back if you're waiting for the right price.
PS4 Pro Deals and Bundles
If you own a 4K TV, pick up the PS4 Pro instead of the standard. It isn't a massive upgrade, but many games will get enhanced framerates, load times, or resolution bumps. The differences are subtle, but this is the premium PS4.
PS4 Pro 1TB + God of War Limited Edition Bundle (Coming April 20)
The new God of War is a PS4 exclusive and a reboot of sorts for the game's main character, Kratos. The included game looks like it will be a lot of fun and this bundle has a custom silver controller and console that's inspired by Kratos's axe.
Preorder for $400 on GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, or Newegg
(Amazon is currently out of stock, but you can sign up for an email alert.)
Glacier White PS4 Pro 1TB System
It's a standard PS4 Pro, but GameStop sells a "glacier white" version of the system, which looks pretty nice in person, though it will stand out more in your entertainment center, so keep that in mind.
Buy for $400 on GameStop
PS4 Pro 1TB + Star Wars Battlefront II Bundle
This bundle has a copy of Star Wars Battlefront II Elite Trooper Deluxe Edition, which has upgraded troopers with better weapons and abilities. Visually, it has a customized controller and console, with the Rebel, Imperial, and First Order logos etched on it.
Buy for $400 on Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, or Newegg
PS4 Pro 1TB Console (Black)
The standard PS4 isn't a great deal compared to the bundles available. It's the same $400 price, but no games or nifty customizations are included. But if you don't care for the bundles and just want a straight black console, here it is.
Buy for $400 on Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Newegg, or Jet.com
PS4 Slim Deals and Bundles
The PS4 Slim is a skinnier version of the original PS4, which is no longer sold. Some sites just refer to it as "PS4" now. It plays all PS4 games, even those that are Enhanced for the new Pro console, so don't worry about that. Unless you own a 4K TV or there's a great deal on the PS4 Pro, you're just fine buying a standard PS4.
PS4 Slim 500GB + 2 Call of Duty Games Bundle
This bundle is canceled everywhere, but GameStop still has it new (for some reason). If you want to play some Call of Duty in space, this is a great bundle for you! It comes with a digital copies of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. The downside to this bundle is the storage. You can buy other bundles that come with double the storage, but this version is stuck with 500 GB, which will fill up fast if you download a lot of games.
Buy for $300 on GameStop
PS4 Slim 1TB + Star Wars Battlefront II Bundle
This is a standard black PS4 Slim with 1 terabyte of storage and a copy of Star Wars Battlefront II included.
Buy for $300 on GameStop, Best Buy, Target, or Newegg
PS4 Slim 1TB Console (Black)
Buy for $300 on Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Newegg, Jet.com, or Kohls
PS4 Slim 500GB Console (Black)
If you aren't worried about storage, then a 500GB version of the PS4 will save you a few bucks. There's nothing else missing from this version, and you can always buy an extra hard drive later, if needed.
Buy for $269 on Amazon, GameStop, or Walmart
PlayStation VR Deals and Bundles
Our favorite accessory for the PS4 is PSVR. It's the most popular virtual reality headset in the world and there are a number of games that support it in the PlayStation Store. The only thing you must remember when purchasing is that you will need the PlayStation Camera to use PSVR. Make sure you already own one if you purchase a headset without a camera.
PlayStation VR + Skyrim VR + Camera + Motion Controllers
This is the best PSVR bundle if you want everything. Other bundles lack the motion controllers, which are like Wii Remotes. They're not mandatory, but can make your VR experience that much more fun.
Buy for $350 ($100 off) on Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, or Newegg
PlayStation VR + Doom VFR + Camera
It doesn't come with motion controllers, but this bundle gives you a copy of the new Doom, modified to work in VR, and the camera and headset. It's all you need to play most VR games.
Buy for $300 ($100 off) on Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, Walmart, or Target
Older or Unofficial Bundles
These bundles aren't official or aren't available anymore, but you can still find some third-party sellers selling them new or used. We've included links to Amazon sellers still offering them. Prices will frequently vary and change on these.
Every PS4 Deal Per Retailer

Beijing/Hong Kong: A controversial interpretation by China's parliament of Hong Kong's mini-constitution that effectively bars pro-independence lawmakers from taking office showed Beijing's resolve to prevent secession, a Chinese leader said on Wednesday.
Chinese leaders are increasingly concerned about a fledgling independence or secessionist movement in the former British colony of Hong Kong, which returned to mainland rule in 1997 amid promises of wide-ranging autonomy including judicial independence under a "one country, two systems" arrangement.
China's parliament last year staged a rare interpretation of the Basic Law, as Hong Kong's mini-constitution is called, and staged one of Beijing's most direct interventions into the city's legal and political system since the 1997 handover.
"The interpretation fully demonstrates the Chinese central leadership's resolve in upholding the 'one country, two systems' principle and its firm stand against any attempt at secession of Hong Kong from the Chinese nation," parliament chief Zhang Dejiang said in his annual report to the National People's Congress (NPC).
The NPC had ruled last November that all lawmakers must swear allegiance to Hong Kong as part of China and that candidates would be disqualified if they changed the wording of their oath of office or if they failed to take it in a sincere and solemn manner.
Two lawmakers, Yau Wai-ching and Baggio Leung, who pledged allegiance to a "Hong Kong nation" during their oath-taking, have since been barred from office after being democratically elected. Four other pro-democracy lawmakers face possible disqualification for improper oath-taking.
"It embodies the firm will of the 1.3 billion Chinese people, including those in the Hong Kong region, to safeguard their country's sovereignty, security and developmental interests," added Zhang, who is also the ruling Communist Party's third-ranked leader.
Hong Kong is an inseparable part of China and any attempt at Hong Kong independence is a violation of "one country, two systems", China's constitution and Hong Kong's Basic Law, he said.
A former Hong Kong secretary for justice, Elsie Leung, said it was important for Hong Kong's prosperity and integrity that the central government make a statement on independence.
"This is the bottom line [of China] and cannot be over written," Leung, now a vice-chairperson of a parliamentary committee on the Basic Law, told reporters in Beijing before the release of Zhang's report.
While Communist Party rulers in Beijing have ultimate control over Hong Kong, their perceived growing interference in the financial hub's affairs has stoked tensions and protests including the "Occupy" civil disobedience movement in 2014 that saw major roads blocked for nearly three months in a push for full democracy.
Premier Li Keqiang also warned over the weekend in his annual work report to parliament that the notion of Hong Kong independence would lead nowhere.
A Hong Kong member of China's top advisory body now in Beijing said a person close to Xi Jinping had once told him the Chinese leader had described Hong Kong as "very troublesome" for China.
With Hong Kong due to select a new leader in an election on March 26, the delegate, who declined to be named, said it was likely Xi wanted someone who could better manage the city and not bring an even bigger headache for Beijing.
Wang Guangya, head of China's Hong Kong Macau Affairs Office, told reporters Beijing's special attention on the election was "reasonable and shouldn't be criticised".
In a sign of China's tightening oversight over local politics, a new batch of Hong Kong delegates to the NPC will have to declare in writing they've never received funds from foreign institutions or individuals in relation to an upcoming NPC election, so as to "safeguard the security of China and prevent foreign powers from interfering", according to new draft electoral guidelines.

It appears to be common practice amongst club golfers to play with golf clubs caked in mud! A dirty club often means that the grooves on the club-face are filled in, and have no effect on the ball at impact. The point of the grooves is to create backspin as the ball runs up the face of the club at impact, which will keep the ball straight. Without this 'grip' the ball is more likely to fly with side-spin on it in the form of a slice or a hook. With short irons in particular it is this action which is responsible for stopping the ball quickly on a receptive green. Many amateurs aspire to being able to make their ball spin back to the pin just like they see on television – it is not easy, but you will certainly never achieve it with mud in the grooves!
Perimeter Weighting
See 'Cavity-backs' above. This describes the way that club manufacturers have changed the weight placing around a golf club to increase tolerance to the non-centre strike. With a blade almost all the weight is centred in the middle of the club meaning that if the toe or heel is struck the club must twist. This leads to spin on the ball and therefore poor direction as well as a lack of distance. By taking weight from the centre and placing it around the perimeter of the club, any off centre strikes will still have weight positioned behind them, meaning less deflection and so straighter, longer shots. This is the key to making golf easier for golfers of all abilities.
Flow Systems
Many clubs today incorporate flow systems, which are intended to place weight in each club where it will be most useful. In the short irons weight will be placed towards the heel/centre giving these irons greater stability for more accurate shotmaking. With these irons the player is more likely to strike the ball out of the middle of the club and therefore behind the area of most weight. As the irons become longer the weight placement moves towards the toe of the club. The idea is that as the club becomes longer it is more likely that shots will be hit off the toe. Moving the weight this way will therefore limit deflection of the clubface at impact and thus keep long iron shots straighter.
Low Centre of Gravity (LCG)
Almost all good quality clubs made for the higher handicap golfer today incorporate a LCG. This may be externally visible in the form of heavy metal bars on the sole or bottom back of the club (usually made from brass, copper or tungsten), or can be internal. An LCG is intended to make it easier to get the ball airborne by placing this weight as low as possible. Although LCG is largely responsible for the high trajectories players tend to get these days – it increases the launch angle of the ball considerably – there is no doubt that this concept makes the game easier, particularly with longer irons.
Offset / Onset
Offset is typically described as the distance from the front edge of the hosel to the leading edge of the face.
Many of the more forgiving clubs these days will feature an offset as it will increase the launch angle of the ball and make it easier to hit. Offsets also tend to reduce slice spin on the ball, which is the most common characteristic of the higher handicap. It is normal practice to have progressive offset where the longer irons have the most, reducing gradually, the shorter the iron.
Onset is used for wedges so that the ball may be pinched out of tight lies more easily, promoting more shot-making and backspin.

Sammy Ameobi scored his very first Premier League goal within just seven seconds of coming on as a halftime substitute for Newcastle today at White Hart Lane, after Newcastle had been outplayed in the first half and were perhaps lucky to be only 1-0 down at the half.
Perez beats two Spurs defenders to head home the winner
But Alan Pardew brought on both Sammy and Remy Cabella at half time, and we'd love to know what he said to the side during the break, because Newcastle were a different side in the second half.
This reminds us a little bit of the 4-4 draw with Arsenal in February of 2011, and all seemed lost in this game at half-time – even though it was only 1-0 from an Adebayor header after 18 minutes from a Mason cross, which looked far too easy for the home side.
It was the first away win of the season for the Magpies and our second win in a row so 6 points from our last two games, to add to the 4 points we got from the first seven games – so it's 10 points from 9 games now.
It just shows you how wins are what teams need to move up the league table and also build some confidence in the side.
And when the team was announced without Tiote, Cisse or Williamson before the game, we expected the worst and the first half display bore that out – we were flat and uninspired – and didn't have one shot on target.
But just seven (or was it eight?) seconds into the second half Newcastle were level and it stunned the crowd, including the Newcastle supporters.
It was Geordie lad Jack Colback who picked out Geordie lad Ameobi on the left wing, and Sammy moved onto the ball and took the ball in his stride and hit the back of the net before LLoris could move – it was a stunning goal from the 22 year-old.
For Spurs Eric Dier was badly at fault, and he was asleep as Ameobi cut in on his blind side – but it was also a great pass from Jack Colback- a goal made in Geordie land.
The 2,200 Newcastle supporters went wild and there was more to come as Remy Cabella – who had also been brought on at the start of the second half , put in an almost perfect cross from the left wing and young Ayoze Perez beat two Spurs defenders to brilliantly head home, and amazingly Newcastle were ahead.
Moussa Sissoko had made a very powerful run past about four Tottenham players before delivering the ball to Remy – who got the assist, and that will do his confidence a lot of good.
After 66 minutes it looked like Tottenham had equalised when a corner went in off Tim Krul, but the ball had gone out of play before hitting the Newcastle goalkeeper.
French International Moussa Sissoko looked a different player in the second half, and his performance reminded us of a certain Patrick Vieira – the former Arsenal great – Moussa has huge potential and he showed it today in those last 45 minutes, and his play was key to this win.
Of course Tottenham came at Newcastle like a ton of bricks in the final 25 minutes of the game, but it was the calm Fabricio Coloccini who marshalled the defense very well at the back to get another famous win at White Hart Lane.
And it was only fitting that Ayoze Perez (what a player this lad can become) – was given a standing ovation when he left the field to be replaced by another youngster – Massadio Haidara – in the 78th minute.
Sammy and Ayoze will get all the headlines – much like Gabby Obertan got them last week, after his great goal to win the game against Leicester – and the youngsters deserve the accolades.
This was a very important win for the Magpies, make no mistake about that – and at half-time we were thinking it was game lost – but as has happened before with Newcastle – you just never know whats going to happen.
One thing that is true about the team we have this season, is that they never give up – and they proved that today with an incredible comeback from behind – all credit to our players and to Alan Pardew too for that second half comeback today.
So what did he tell the players at half time? 😀

As I have said before Sammy deserves to start he was getting stuck in , winning everything in the air and gave Dier a torrid time when he came on also finally got his first goal
Cabella's cross was a delightful one for the winner although he could have set up a 3rd which would have killed them off he looks better given a free role still got to learn to stay on his feet a bit more
How many times is Pardew going to get it wrong though at the start of a game ?? Why are we starting with 2 defensive mids every game it should be one of Colback , Tiote or Anita not 2 of them under any circumstances it allows Sissoko more space and it means we have another offensive player available
Never realised how average Spurs are for spending that much money in the end we won quite comfortably and apart from their goal they did not have any more decent chances would have been raging if us parking the bus cost us a result because they were there for the taking same with Liverpool next week they are nothing special for all that spending on players
I still think we can do better than Pardew but if we can beat City and Liverpool this week then I am willing to give him another chance lol
I find it so funny when the pro pardew and anti pardew supporters argue. It becomes a little bit like a competition. When Newcastle do well, the pro Pardew people say, "Where are all the anti pardew people" vice versa.
Do you guys not see how pathetic you are ? Debating is fine but it has become a little childish now. Can we not just talk about something else like adults for once. Forget about Pardew and Ashley for the time being and find something new to talk about. Its all abit boring now. In fact, it is depressing. Lets all just celebrate this fantastic win. 😀
That has to rank right up there with the best of results in the last 3 years! Get in! Proud to be a toon fan today. Unbeaten run continues. Great to read the posts over the afternoon and I'm smiling at the hypocrisy of some of the regular posters on here. Predictions and cheap schoolboy jibes dead in the water. It's not, of course, the new dawn, but it's a start and this is what it's all about,being a supporter. This one's for you Dulcinera, and a few others. You must be
enjoying this today after all the stick you've had. Howay the Lads!
@Santon: Honestly, I can't blame Pardew for starting Anita and Colback in defensive roles. I can blame him for both of them being completely ineffective, though. Sissoko was doing their job more than they were ffs, and he still managed to get forward. I've never seen a team being gifted so much space behind the midfield, but Spurs got it.
Why is people on here saying it was a comfortable win? Was I watching a different game?
We had a pathetic first half and after we went 2-1 up you could argue we where lucky nail biting moments when Kane flashed the ball across the box and Lennon blasted one over could have easily been level.
I was screaming for us to hold onto it. Had a gut negative feeling that they were gona score and they could have Soldado near scored aswell.
More than happy with the points but just think we wer'nt as good and it wasn't as easy as some people on here make out.
Beermonkey #8
To answer your ? ANita was totally crap, and thats been kind to him, He never tackles, never gets involved, ducks out of everything, just stands with his arms out, that 2 weeks in a row he has been pulled on 45 mins.
As for Obertan, yes he was running around but he was out muscled every time,
Match commentator in the first half was really slagging NUFC and rightly so, there was a total lack of effort.
Pardew can count his lucky stars that it was not more than 1 – 0 at half time we were that back, so no praise to Pardew for the team he put out at the start.
sissoko was MOM today. great energy all game. colback in 2nd half did well too. delighted to see taylor take his chance at the back.
cabella getting better too. we now seem to have a few options on the wings now. hard to pick 2 out of cabella, rolando, obertan, goofy, sammy
still worried about the lack of creativity in the middle….anita is simply not good enough. i think our possession was 32% today which means we got very lucky. im hoping de jong is the missing piece
credit were its due tho to pardew, great switches at half time. this was a great win.
credit where credit's due…it wasn't working…he changed it and we went after them and it worked.
For the first time in a long time he got something right so you can't really fault him can you. He made the changes a lot earlier than he normally does and called it right so as much as it pains me to say so…well done Mr Pardew…keep it up!
the fact still remains , we dont get 90 mins out of pardew
hang on for our lives , then come out and play in the second half
not botherd about us winning, my goal still remains the same, get him out,
by being happy with a win whist wanting him out means being a hypocrite , and thats one thing im not,
i do not support him in any way, if that means going down a division or 2 , so be it.
the premiership isnt why im an nufc fan :)..
its like watching your mam getting beat up by her new husband, but saying nothing because he gives you money
Delighted with the result today. Credit to Pardew (tin hat on) his changes made the difference. The only thing I would have done differently; I would have took Goufran off and left Obertan on.
Anita is not interested, a good player however he wants / needs too much time on the ball.
Sammi was excellent and today was the best performance we have seen from Cabella.
Possession counts for sweet FA if you do nothing with it we defended them really well in the second half and for how poor we were in the first half they only had one chance which they scored from
We created better chances with less possession if Cabella had squared that ball we would have been 3 – 1 up the only decent chance they had was Harry Kane's cross
Bearing in mind we were playing with a man down the whole game in Gouffran who was getting carried the whole match I think we done pretty well
Collocini and Steven Taylor are the key.And also Obertan as a starter.Sammy proved that can be played as a striker.Anita"the ghost"again.Colback stable and good head passing.Cabella instead of Sissoko next game.Sissoko should fight with Tiote for DM place.Sissoko shouldn't be the man of the match.Defense was granite and is the key for our win.Just like the 5th place season.

I find it so funny when the pro pardew and anti pardew supporters argue. It becomes a little bit like a competition. When Newcastle do well, the pro Pardew people say, "Where are all the anti pardew people" vice versa.

So i take it you are the ones who just sits on the fence.
this team deserves more credit sometimes than they get. I still think we are a poor team. I can't remmber the last time we bossed a game and played lovely passing football. Beating spurs today was great but apart from the goals we scored we were otherwise passenngers in this game. We have some great individual players we just cant play as a team and i don't understand why
I get where you are coming from mate. I feel like games are still a dilemma though.
I struggle to really want us to lose. I didn't go nuts for the win today, but I guess I was pleased.
Just proves that things are terribly wrong. I used be delighted if we won a tough game like Spurs away. The club have bored me so much that I now just grin and carry on with my soup preparation.
We look so much better as a team with Sammy on the left hand side he is ready to play there every week
Obertan had a poor game on the right so maybe put Gouffran on right wing because he is right footed?
Put Sissoko on Gerard in the next game and let him bully him off the ball
Cabella has to start as well give Perez another game if Cisse is not match fit
Apart from de jong and santon the other players I've just mentioned should be back next weekend, so our squad will be a lot stronger, it's a pity we've picked up a few injuries, no one can blame pardew our main creative player (de jong) is out, I think with him we would have won the games that we lost or drawn.
Apart from the Southampton game.

The Pentagon is receiving an additional $440 million for its missile defense programs within the next few weeks, as the North Korean communist regime threatens nuclear strikes on the United States and its allies. The additional funds were approved with bipartisan support in the House and Senate.
The additional funding was pushed through so that work on missile defense can begin immediately, rather than having to wait for the 2018 defense budget, Space News reported on Oct. 4.
According to Space News, the $440 million will be pulled from unspent funds in the fiscal year 2017 budget. The Pentagon sent the request for the additional funds to Congress in early August, and the approved funding will go toward ground-based interceptors, sensors, and ship-based antimissile systems.
The Trump administration had initially reduced spending on missile defense in its fiscal year 2018 defense budget, requesting $7.9 billion for the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency—down from the $8.2 billion requested the previous year.
Defense Secretary Gen. Defense Secretary James Mattis was questioned by the House Armed Services Committee on June 12 about the reduced missile defense budget. He explained that the Department of Defense (DoD) was reviewing threats and its missile defense programs to get a better sense of what it needed.
Mattis said at the time that while missile defense was "a priority," according to DoD Buzz, "I think we can first do the study to make sure what is the requirement, what are we lacking."
"I want to get this right before we come to you and spend a lot of money," Mattis said, adding that the goal of the DoD's review was to "define the problem well enough that we are targeted like a laser beam on exactly what we need."
On Sept. 13, Mattis began a three-day trip to review systems tied to the U.S. nuclear posture and ballistic missile defense programs. According to DoD News, Mattis said he wanted to speak with people directly, for an "unfiltered" view of the programs from the troops on the ground.
As the Nuclear Posture Review was underway, Mattis said he was personally reviewing it every couple of weeks. "I have different people in: the people who are leading it, the graybeards who are over-watching and checking it out, the scientists. And I want to make certain as I'm getting informed by them, I'm also getting this input," Mattis said, adding, "I'm also talking to people who have nothing to do with the current DoD, people outside the government who have studied this for many years as well."
Mattis said that with nuclear deterrents, "You want the enemy to look at it and say, 'This is impossible to take out in a first strike, and the retaliation is such that we don't want to do it.' That's how a deterrent works."
"If I was to sum up the challenge we face right now in the U.S. military, it's how do you maintain a nuclear deterrent safe and effective [enough] so those weapons are never used, and at the same time maintain a decisive conventional force because, as expensive as that is, it's much less expensive than having to fight a conventional war because someone thought you were weak," he said.

Janna Levin
Many people love to marvel at the beauty of the cosmos that is observable with our eyes – but what about the beauty that is observable with our ears? Dr. Janna Levin says that the universe has a soundtrack that is played on space itself.
According to Levin, space can wobble like drum and ring out with the evidence of dramatic stellar events as they occur. Much of her research has been on black holes-dark objects on a dark background-which are impossible to directly detect visually. Levin and her group are attempting to track the interactions of black holes as these objects move around each other eventually crashing into one another in spectacular fashion.
It is theorized that when these black holes begin interacting they produce gravitational waves that will act like mallets on the fabric of space-time and play it like a drum. Levin's group has used mathematical modeling to develop predictions on what these interactions would sound like which she shared as part of a TED Talk in 2011.
The problem with these sounds is that they are so faint it was impossible for us to hear this squeezing and stretching of space. Well, that was until in 2015 when the LIGO detector was able to observe some of these gravitational waves. Levin's third book Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space was published in March 2016 and details the history of the LIGO and its recording of gravitational waves.
Beyond her work with black holes, Levin also investigates the possibility that our universe is not as infinite as current scientific thinking proposes. In her book How the Universe Got Its Spots she uses geometry, topology, chaos, and string theories to show a pattern of hot and cold spots in the universe that are the leftovers from the big bang that one day might reveal the size and shape of the cosmos.
Levin is a professor of physics and astronomy at Barnard College of Columbia University in Manhattan, the director of science at Pioneer Works, and a celebrated author and speaker.

Featured Vendors (1 - 4 of 8)
Kolja Hanke, COO"Cooperation is the key to success." With years of experience in the fields of SAP for Utilities and consolidation and harmonization of SAP landscapes, the founders of Natuvion GmbH know this mantra all too well—the firm creates cost-effective and technologically leading solutions in collaboration with their customers and partners. As a SAP Gold Partner and 'preferred expertise' supplier, Natuvion provides an end-to-end portfolio for all the transformation needs required by any enterprise operating with SAP. Clients are facilitated with custom-made solutions in the Business Intelligence (SAP BW and Business Objects), Meter2Cash (SAP IS-U), Consolidation and Harmonization (C&H) as well as Security and Data Privacy fields. "We provide consultancy services to act on the client's needs and suggest the right IT strategy to increase ROI," explains Kolja Hanke, the COO of the firm. "Our customer-oriented approach helps us to deal with the challenges in the most effective manner," extols Hanke. "Natuvion is not a pure consulting firm or a software product company; it combines all in one to deliver an end-to-end portfolio of solutions," he adds.
SAP has become the epicenter of business in the Utilities sector. With this being the case, CIOs of organizations are looking to leverage the SAP advantage and are seeking transformative tools and systems to integrate their business operations. This combined with intricacies such as the idea of leveraging the Cloud, TCO reduction, and new security standards are driving organizations to re-align their strategies. Natuvion's prowess puts the firm right ahead of the rest of the pack and serves as the best bet for such firms. "We not only provide technical assistance but consultation as well. We help the client with the direction of the market and the strategies that will be beneficial for them in the long run," says Hanke.
We also provide consultancy services to act on the client's needs and offer the right IT strategy to increase ROI
Natuvion's performance tuning experts utilize SAP Business Intelligence to deal with big data to help the client's business performance. The harmonization of process workflows and IT consolidation services enable clients to reduce complexity, improve competency, and create transparency of the business. With the help of the analytics dashboards, clients can clearly monitor their business operations based on SAP BI and HANA. Their transformation services also enable clients to merge or separate systems, adjust organizational structures and encrypt data anonymization. The firm leverages the standard management methodologies such as waterfall or scrum for project management and software development. Natuvion's logical and IT strategy process consulting acts like an add-on SAP technical service to help Utilities companies to integrate their business better.
The experience that employees have come to has been applied to good use in many customer projects. In one such instance, one of the big Utilities enterprises in Germany utilized Natuvion's integrated solution to split their highly complex system. The client needed to unbundle a huge SAP system and faced problems to adhere to government restrictions and complete it within a stipulated time period. By utilizing Natuvion's "split un-bundling activities system", the client was able to execute the entire project within thirty-seven hours, which was way less than the other consulting firm could prove work.
Moving ahead, Natuvion plans to provide solutions for S/4HANA—the next big thing in the Utilities sector. Apart from S/4HANA, they will also focus on developing their applications and services on HANA Cloud Platform. Hanke informs that after being leading edge in the transformation business in Europe to also expand its business to the U.S. "We will partner with other Utilities consulting companies and follow SAP's Cloud roadmap on the Utilities space to enlarge our business as well," concludes Hanke.


text: Autophagy is a bulk degradation pathway that removes cytosolic materials to maintain cellular homeostasis. The AuTophagy-related Gene 13 (Atg13) and microtubule associate protein 1 Light Chain 3 (LC3) proteins are required for initiation of autophagy and autophagosome formation. Using crystallography and protein-protein interaction techniques we are examining the structures of human Atg13 proteins and their interaction partners, often Atg13 LIR peptides. We recently published some our work in Structure revealing that the side-chain of Lys49 of LC3 acts as a gatekeeper to regulate binding of the LIR peptide to the Atg13 proteins. Our results suggest that specific affinity of the LC3 isoforms to the Atg13 LIR peptides is required for proper autophagosome formation.

Enterprise Idea Management Software- Establish Your Business With It
In today's marketplace, business organizations need to constantly discover, evolve and execute innovative ideas in an attempt to attract a large number of customers and outmaneuver their rivals. In many cases, these organizations have to go to the extent of exploiting the creative talents of the workforce they employ. However, they need to have an effective mechanism that allows the top management of such establishments to collect, analyze and identify those ideas that can make a difference to their bottom-line revenues. This is where enterprise idea management software system comes into the picture and makes the process of implementation much more effective.
Experts who specialize in this field say that developing such a system can enable business establishments of various sizes to enjoy the following advantages:
Encourage employees to use their creative talents
Most businesses do encourage their members of their workforce to come up with creative ideas to enable such establishments to achieve their organizational goals in today's market environment. However, somewhere along the line many of these suggestions fail to see the light of the day when it comes to phase of implementation. Developing an effective system that allows the top management to gather, classify, analyze and finally execute the best ones into innovative products
Sharing the most ideal practices
Some businesses may have a number of offices, branches and subsidiaries in different locations in a particular country. One concern may develop an feasible idea to cut unnecessary costs at various levels in order to enhance their bottom-line revenues. However, the head corporate offices of such establishments adopt an effective enterprise idea management software system, it possible for this organization to share this ground-breaking concept with others. This enables other subsidiaries to increase their relative profits accordingly.
Promotes transparency
When the employees of a business organization see top management taking necessary steps to implement the ideas they put forward to achieve its objectives, it enhances their enthusiasm. They have a greater urge to take part in such idea campaigns when there is an effective mechanism in place. These workers become aware they will receive rewards and recognition for their creativity in form of monetary incentives at the end of the day.
Innovative products enter the market in a short time period
When business organizations take the initiative to execute a system that enable to exploit the best ideas, customers notice innovative products entering the market that exceed their expectations. In addition to this, the time period it takes for such goods to move from the inception stage to entering the market becomes shorter.
For businesses who want to gain the competitive edge in the market over their rivals, developing creative ideas and turning them into a reality is now become a necessity. Introducing and executing an effective enterprise idea management software system within their organizations enable them to achieve this vital objective. They are able to introduce innovative products into this environment to the delight of their customers. The increase in bottom-line revenues of these establishments reflects the positive effect of such a strategy.

Selecting Teams for the Brier and the Scott
As I watch the Brier this week, it strikes me that there are several teams that really, to be blunt, are nowhere near as good as the others. In fact, they are nowhere near as good as some of the teams that were eliminated in other provinces. I would much rather see the second, even third, place teams from Alberta, Ontario, and BC than watch games involving the to-date winless teams from PEI, Nova Scotia, or the Territories.
The divergence in quality seems especially striking this year, with truly excellent teams at the Brier.
The problem, though, is how else might the Canadian Curling Association choose teams to compete at the Brier. Surely they do not wish to keep good teams from small provinces from participating, and surely they do not want to use money-winnings or curling stats as decision variables. And if that is correct, then I see no change that might be seen as either reasonable or fair.
The only possible change might be to lump Northern Ontario with either Ontario or possibly the Territories and give the previous year's winner a berth at the Brier. I'd like that, but I'm not sure it would get strong support.
Addendum: I can't believe I didn't think about this earlier, but of course it is impossible for more than one team to be winless through the entire round robin. Duh.

See what people are saying about us ...
"Carmen, you are a gem! I am so happy to be working energy with you again. I'm also happy to have met Richard, Shelly, and all the folks that attended our class. I get a smile just thinking about it. " [...]
"All the classes at Spirit is Calling have been outstanding! I have made great strides in Spiritual Growth and personal development because I attended their classes. I would recommend Spirit is Calling to anyone interested in expanding their spiritual development. There is no place really like Spirit is calling. All classes are enjoyable as we learn."
"I experienced a great healing at the TM clinic for the Egypt trip. Mary (Magdalene?) was the healer and I felt a strong connection to what she communicated to me, that she really understood who I am. She reminded me of my mock-up for the trip, and I was like, "Oh yeah! That's what it is!" and I felt this immediate clearing in my space and I was happy, more clear about what it is that I want. And all of this happend very quickly, within just a few minutes. I sat through the entire clinic and the space was very uplifting. I enjoyed it very much."
"Spirit is Calling delivers the goods. I always leave a class good and lit up with my head abuzz with new insights and growth." -
"After the Erasure Lecture Healing, my knee which has driven me mad for many and many years stopped hurting. I was so shocked that I was afraid to say anything. On Monday, this week, I walked a mile without pain. I was so shocked again I was speechless. I was tired the next day, but no serious pain afterwards. That is my first Miracle. In addition, I had a reading/healing from Christy from Hawaii. I am doing the things she recommended, and I have more energy than I have had in many, many years. My second Miracle - I have energy. Third Miracle. The money I was expecting came in without a flaw. So, I am so happy and joyful. I feel like a brand new person. I really can't remember when I felt this good.
Thank you for having that Miracle Weekend!"

It is hard for entrepreneurs to achieve goals without some kind of example to follow. For many people, the world of an entrepreneur is a completely different and alien world. For one thing, people experience different challenges from when they were employees. While the idea of setting hours and working at anytime can be very exciting, one thing that a lot of entrepreneurs realize is that there are times when they are going to have to work twice as many hours as they did when they were just employees. Often times, they start off making up to have the amount of money they make as employees. This is one of the reasons that it is suggested that people keep their jobs until their business takes off.
Doe Deere is in a fortunate situation because she has started very young as an entrepreneur. Therefore, she knows what she needs to do to market and sell her products. She also looks at other businesses and sees what they do to sell. She looks for something that she can do differently so that she can attract more customers. For instance, in the health and beauty industry, among the things that business owners do is try to market makeup by showing it on a piece of paper. Doe Deere models the make up herself.
Among the steps that entrepreneurs need to take to success is figuring out how to get the word out. The marketing aspect is one of the trickiest parts of selling. For one thing, people need to know how they can market without annoying and pushing away potential customers. One thing that should be considered is that a lot of people don't really like ads to begin with. Therefore, it is important to present ads in a way that people might actually like them. Then they would want to do business with the company.
One of the most effective things that Doe Deere does with Lime Crime is interact with people. This is the most important part of marketing. People are more likely to trust and do business with a company that actually talks with them as opposed to just advertising to them. This is one thing that the big companies don't seem to understand. Fortunately, Doe Deere knows how to maintain the trust of her customers and keep them engaged with the company. She brings forth the message that true beauty is diverse.

The old guns in the major media marshal their resources as subtly as they can to turn minds their direction, usually leftward. That's so obvious that I don't talk about it much.
My regular listeners know that this is not a major obsession of mine. I comment on media bias only now and then. But when a spectacular, or just funny, example comes up, I do have to recognize it, right?
To not comment would be to ignore the wild donkey in the room.
The Associated Press fact checked the new Sarah Palin memoir, Going Rogue, finding a few errors, some self-serving spin. Mrs. Palin provocatively noted that the AP had devoted eleven reporters to attack her book, when they could have been fact checking health care reform costs, for instance.
She got that fact right — the AP did hire eleven "fact-checkers." In contrast, the AP set not one reporter to check Joe Biden's book, even after he received the VP slot nomination last year.
Yes, the Palin book merited AP coverage eleven-to-zero over the Biden book.
Liberal bias, anyone?
In the AP's defense, one could say that Palin is good story . . . Biden? Not so much. True enough. But eleven-to-one better copy?
Well, maybe. But the AP fact-checked her book, and not books by the Clintons or Barack Obama. The press's Palin obsession looks a little indecent.
This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Bias!!?? Whine, whine….Nobody covered Biden's book and he sold how many? Palin is by far the new comer and as a result, gets the attention…good and bad. This sounds more like human nature…as is your whining about biased coverage.
forthwith as itis and was
roll out the constitution"s intent as it was writ with laws to make it so or people go to jail.
yours to modify
And, this guy actually gets paid to write this stuff……
The MSM didn't even bother to fact check Obama's books when he was running for the nomination or Hillary Clinton's it takes a village, and then there's Al Gore's track on climate change, no fact checking there either. Hum do I hear bias?
Also NOT checked were (as noted in the column) by AP (and probably anyone else) were the health care costs. Also not checked (or, if they were, results buried): the penalties-until put over the Internet if en did not buy insurance (fines; jail time; etc), nor was there much checking in "the stimulus" bill (also known as paying back the faithful and wasting money); the AIG debacle; the bailout of Chrysler & GM (and how the dealers forced t close were picked-most were owned by Republican contributors, according to one newspaper); not checked also-were the claims by Obama appointee that she didn't know that taxes were due on something- while hubby was a judge.
And the whiners???
The Democrates- about Rush L., Beck, etc. The LA Times even had someone write that Fox should muzzle him. I guess free speech is only for the Dems and liberals now.

You must have a payment plan approved by the Student Accounts Office before you are allowed to complete registration. The payment plan options are listed below:
Students who do not pay their account in full by each semester/term due date will not be able to register until their account is fully paid or they have set up a payment plan with TMS. Students with delinquent accounts will not be able to pre-register for subsequent terms, receive copies of their transcripts, or receive diplomas until the college receives full payment.
Greenville University reserves the right to assign any past due accounts to a collection agency. Further, the student agrees to pay any and all costs, including collection, attorney, and litigations costs incurred by the college in efforts to collect, should the student default on their account. In case of bankruptcy by the student, the student waives all access to transcripts and diploma(s) until all amounts are paid to the College.
Disbursements (payments) are made to your GU student account 2-3 weeks after the start of each term.
If you have additional funds available after your charges have been satisfied, you will receive the refund of the credit on your account within 14 days of the disbursement. For questions, please contact the Business Office at 618.664.7016.
Registration at Greenville University is considered a contract binding the student for the entire term. Many commitments of the College are based upon the enrollment anticipated at the beginning of the term.
Greenville University adheres to a fair and equitable refund policy consistent with regulations set forth by the State of Illinois and the U.S. Department of Education. This policy applies to students who officially withdraw from the University. Withdrawing from all classes requires a student to submit a completed online Withdrawal Form. Failure to do so will result in the student being responsible for all applicable charges. Refund of charges will be calculated according to the date the form is submitted.
Students withdrawing from Greenville University during the first two weeks of a semester (prior to the drop date), will receive a full refund of tuition paid. Room and board charges will be pro-rated by week based on the time spent on campus. Withdrawals after the drop date of the semester will result in a refund of tuition charges according to the schedule below: (See academic calendar at your campus for exact dates.)
Fall and Spring Semester classes
Time of Withdrawal from College
Tuition Refund
|First 2 weeks of semester (prior to drop date)
|During week 3-4 of semester

Calculations of the return of Title IV aid for withdrawals occurring during the first two weeks of a semester will be based on the last date of attendance for the semester in which the student withdraws. Students who initiate a withdrawal from the University after the first two weeks of the semester will be eligible for a refund of the Title IV aid based on the date that the withdrawal form was submitted to Student Development. A student who withdraws after the 60% point of the semester will not be entitled to a return of Title IV aid.

Sounds good. Let me know if you get tripped up. I'd like to get the guide ironed out really well for people that need it.
Eclipse IDE setup for Photon(MAC)
I just started doing, and noticed that there was a line
make platform=PHOTON clear all program-dfu
Which gives errors so I used:
make clean all PLATFORM=photon program-dfu
I'll continue with the install.
OK apart from that one line, which was correct later, it works fine. Nice job man!
OK here's the problems I had on my computer. Like you said you Eclipse-$PATH != gobal unix $PATH so I added on my computer
It'll be different to everyone else, but something like that
I tried adding serial terminal directly to Eclipse, but didn't work now. I'll try that later as well. EDIT. Seems like there's some problem on Mac with RXTX library, and would need some serious hacking. I'm not sure if I bother, I'll check how it is in the Arduino Eclipse version, but if it seems hard I'll just use something else.
OK after a bit of digging around the RXTX plugin for serial communications directly from Eclipse is compatible only with 32 bit version. There is a 64bit linux port, but even this has major issues. If anyone has a solution that'd be great.
If you wish to compile with the develop branch you should use this in part 13).
make APP=myapp PLATFORM_ID=6 PARTICLE_DEVELOP=1 clean all
Hey Thanks man. Glad somebody went through this guide. Its always hard to error check your own documentation because of course everything makes sense to you when you write it.
I never jacked with trying to get serial debug working in eclipse but it would be awesome. I use Zoc6 utility which works pretty good, not sure if it is still free or not. Kind of funny there isn't a really good serial terminal program for mac other than the terminal itself
Ill make sure to get that line fixed in the guide. If anyone else sees anything pleas let me know.
Hey @IOTrav and @FistOfTheNorthStar you two are awesome!!
I've been following this thread, and the quick progression has been great!
Sorry I don't have anything to add to it at the moment, but I think you two working this out
is a great example of the community helping each other.
Hi Corey,
Thank you. Hopefully users will find this helpful in the future. I thought there was no sense in someone else having to figure this out again.
So I noticed if I removed clean and all from the Build command under C/C++ Build the build was wicked fast and still seems to be working as expected. @FistOfTheNorthStar can you confirm removing that still works for you? Here is a pick of my settings.
If we confirm this works I would move that we alter this line in the document.
Adding "clean all" to the make command line forces it to remake everything, every time. Basicly emulating a script that builds everything from scratch.
Removing "clean" lets make do what it is best at, only rebuilding the absolute minimum of targets required to succeed, hence the faster build.
I believe "all" is the default target, so you can leave it on the command line if you wish.
That's right. You should use it though when you fetch (all) from git (update). Or if you do other changes to the underlying libraries, but if you're just doing programming to your app then clean all is not needed.
Thanks @AndyW You appear to have said it best there. Yes all does appear to be executed by make by default so it does not have to be entered in the Build command line in Eclipse and after a little studying I had thought clean meant to rebuild everything as opposed to only rebuilding resources which have changed since the last make. Thank you for chiming in on that and confirming. The build in Eclipse is now taking around 1.278 seconds as opposed to 13 seconds when performing clean as well previously. I am going to go ahead and update the document for future users.
You should not need to do a clean after refreshing from git or changing libraries, that kind of stuff is make's day job.
If it does not do the right thing, then that is a bug and needs to be fixed by changes to the makefile(s).
I can see maybe using clean after you switch branches within git, but only to ensure that the first build after switching is fresh.
Thanks guys. Documentation has been updates so clean is not performed each time. This thread however notes possible uses for it.
Hey @IOTrav @FistOfTheNorthStar,
Once I verify all of this information, I will most likely include in this how-tos or one of our tutorials in the near future.
Thanks Again.
Thanks very much for this guide! It's been a real time-saver for me.
However, I have a problem.
I installed everything as outlined in the document (although I'm using the v0.4.9-rc1 branch, commit 3b49233). The build works fine. I can flash programs to my Photon, but there's nothing happening there. I don't get the "test" message (I use CoolTerm) over the wire. When I flash the same program with Particle cloud, it's working.
Also, I don't get any response when I try to flash a "blink an led" application via Eclipse: I can flash the program, the Photon restarts, but doesn't do anything (it's breathing, but the LED is not flashing)

Any idea what is wrong? When I look in the myapp.bin and myapp.elf-files I find the "test"-string, so it seems to me that it's built well.
Uh oh - it seems to work with the branch you checked out in your document: photon_043. I don't know why it won't work with the latest code, but I'm happy it works now.
You might need to add something to the Build Command for that version of firmware. I ran into that when trying to use the latest develop branch. If you checkout @FistOfTheNorthStar's comment above you can see where he said to use PARTICLE_DEVELOP=1 if you want to compile from the develop branch. I wonder if the branch you are trying to use requires something similar.
I found out that commit 49bfae601 works, and 6c5b6bd doesn't work anymore. There's something like
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_v048 0x00040800
and the SYSTEM_VERSION is set to that version. Maybe it has to do something with that?
Thanks for this tutorial. I was able to get everything working with it. I am however stuck on how to debug with it. Do you have an experience using the debugger? When i click it i get the following message. "Launch failed. Binary not found."
I have never setup debugging in Eclipse. I generally print errors from my code to the Serial port(USB) and monitor it in a console.
There is a tutorial on the Community here though that you might find interesting:
I never tried it but it looks intuitive.

Vinyl / digital release
1. Pawas & Beume — Neverdorf (7:56)
2. Pawas & Beume — Vincent (8:59)
3. Pawas & Beume — Rednecks (9:01)
4. Pawas & Beume — Flam (7:15)
This time, we are introducing Pawas & Beume. Pawas is a familiar face of the last few years, collaborating with Daso on Spectral and Flash, as well as releasing solo on various labels. Martin Beume (aka Golden Red) also has solo releases on Substatic and, the two as Pawas & Beume have released for Adam Kroll's Squonk, and this time for the first time on Brut!
Rednecks EP is a house affaire, ranging from energetic house-tech to laidback dubby and deep house. Neverdorf is the one for those who can't sleep, a track to keep you moving. Vincent is a sweaty deep house track, perfect for the late hours. Rednecks is a delicious house track, one you might end up whisteling to. And finally, Flam is a tango inspired dub house with a southern sad swoon.
All 4 tracks come with the distinctive Cologne pop-ish flavour we love at Brut!

Here's the newest game I added to my phone, thanks to my friend showing it to me. See that little guy...he's running from some really scary creatures. In the process he has to jump tree roots, fire, gaps in the cliffs and bridges, and traps with skulls and ropes. Just when you think all of that is mastered...along comes trees and obstacles that you have to slide under....better make sure you slide and don't try jumping or else. You do all of this while those creepy black creatues are chasing you....don't slow down or they like to make a snack of you!
When you mess up...you get funny little comments like "trees hurt" or "its hard to run without a head" or "crispy snack"....oh yes what will they think of next!

Some Flickr users should be seeing a new search interface that's described on the site as a "beta" and offers faster access to more content across Flickr.
Yahoo's communications team declined to say how many users are opted in, but did give us this statement confirming the test:
We're constantly iterating and experimenting to bring the best search experience to our users. We have nothing to announce at this time.
Images are the best way to show how it looks and what it does. First, here's a look at the standard search results for "sunsets."
The search filters are lined up across the top of a random assortment of images, and clicking "Advanced Search" in the upper right leads to a separate page that doesn't show any images.
In the beta search, image results for "sunsets" begin with my personal content — a photo album with the same name, then my own sunset photos, then photos from people I follow and finally the random images from across the site.
The Advanced Search option in the upper right doesn't take the user to a new page, but instead opens a dropdown interface with similar — but not the same — options as on the traditional advanced search page.
The options to search by image size, color and orientation are new and a welcome addition. The only thing I see missing from the older advanced search options is a way to input negative keywords as part of your search.
Importantly to content marketers, the ability to easily search for images that are free to use under Creative Commons licensing is retained in the beta search experience.
It also includes a toggle in the lower right corner to turn it on/off, along with a button to offer feedback.
The post Flickr Testing Improved Search Experience [PHOTOS] appeared first on Search Engine Land.

It was Phelps' 7th gold medal and he won it by .01 of a second. Did he win it outright? We think so, but skeptics say otherwise. The guy is a machine, and he used all 6 feet 5 inches of his frame on this wall-touch. Phelps is on the left and won the race due to his "half" stroke finish.

Aaron Peirsol, The Missing Link to the Wilson Brothers
The Bejing games were good to Aaron Peirsol, he went home with two golds and a silver, in addition to two world records in the 4 x 100 medley relay team (Phelps' 8th gold medal race) and the 100 meter backstroke . But is he also the 4th Wilson brother? In our book, he's a possible ringer to be tapped into the next Wes Anderson movie.

Hungarian Weightlifter Mishap
Bodybuilders sacrifice their bodies for the attention and glory that comes from powerlifting hundreds of pounds of weight. That being said, Janos Baranyai had a "major malfunction" when he lifted his weight in the Olympics. Youtube took down the video for copywrite infringement from NBC, but LiveLeak is leaving there's up. The guy dislocated his elbow trying to win Olympic gold and he's in a world of pain. This clip is painful to watch, warning to those with a low threshold for arms that bend in the wrong direction.

The End Citizens United PAC is determined to make an impact in the upcoming 2018 elections, working foremost to replace the current republican seat holders in California's house with democrats. There are currently four Republican elected officials that the group has identified as being vulnerable, and these are the four individuals that End Citizens United is going to support the opponents in the coming election. The main reason these four individuals have been identified is due to their campaign finances and other fiscal issues.
The people and businesses that support a campaign and elected officials are always an important factor in elections because of the issues that they represent. In this election, many of the companies that supported and donated to the funds for these four house members are part of very contentious issues that electors in the state of California might find at odds with their values. Across these four districts, the money that is exchanged and funding elected officials is substantial and that is why each individual has been named. The PAC End Citizens United might just make campaign finance reform the issue of the election given all the attention and work that is about to go into replacing each of these four seats.
End Citizens United was formed in response to Citizens United and the Supreme Court decision that made it possible for companies and corporations to donate to campaigns as individuals. Many that started the PAC believe that this decision was detrimental to the political process by giving corporations more control over elections and elected officials when it should be the citizens of the country that these men and women work for. For this reason, most of the opponents that End Citizens United works against are those that have accepted major campaign contributions from corporations or other special interest groups that now use the new law to fund campaigns in return for beneficial legislation.
To date this grassroots effort has seen some significant impact, working with money and word of mouth to take their message to each area of the country where they can make the greatest difference. Each election is a chance to even the playing field and exposing elected officials that have accepted questionable contributions to their campaigns.
