The S.E.C. and other government agencies are protected by an exception to a law — the Federal Tort Claims Act — that allows citizens to sue the United States. The exception, in fact, is an “exception to an exception,” because the act is an exception to sovereign immunity law that typically immunizes the United States from suit.

After Ronaldo sharply criticized his club Manchester United in an interview last week, a video caused a sensation on social media. It showed Ronaldo and his United teammate Bruno Fernandes coolly greeting each other at the national team. Fernandes had already justified the scene by saying that both were joking with each other. “I have a great relationship with him,” Ronaldo said of his teammates.
Of course he wanted to show his family and fans “year after year what I can do,” said the 37-year-old. Despite all the criticism and the discussions about him, he now wants to concentrate on the tournament that Portugal starts on Thursday with the game against Ghana. “It would be magical to win the World Cup, but I lack nothing in life. I’ve already won a lot more than I expected,” said the Manchester United pro. |

en | N/A | N/A | The rationale for contract-first services (as opposed to code-first) is to effectively decouple service capabilities from needless implementation-specific, vendor-specific, and data-source specific realizations. You put the initial service capability out and ensured that the contract is decoupled – no legacy system specific details, no database-vendor or technology platform-specific attributes are present and your consumers are happy. So, are you done? Well, no…because we all know that the technology environment, business requirements, regulations, and continuous innovations are the realities of modern development. You have to be careful not to succumb to these pressures and tread towards needless coupling. It is very easy to add one more attribute or element to your service contract and not pay attention to tight coupling being introduced.
As you add new versions, introduce enhancements, and make bug fixes take care not to introduce needless coupling. You can tie in code reviews – focused specifically around service contracts – to ensure this happens as part of your overall governance strategy. I will post detailed examples for this quick tip in a follow up post. |

en | N/A | N/A | Given that Boston Dynamics robots can now easily jump, run, and open a door, it’s safe to say that we may not be far from a Bicentennial Man future (except, y’know, with no Robin Williams).
What I mean by this is that robots may become commonplace much sooner than we think. But, as we have covered, robots are still susceptible to ransomware and malware.
How does this relate to some of the most recent announcements in the robot world?
This is a list of predominately household robots that will soon affect our daily lives.
What These Nine (Mostly) Household Robots Mean for the Near Future:
1. Eliminate First World Problems with FoldiMate
Not many people I know enjoy doing laundry (or at least the folding part). Luckily for us, someone invented a robot to fold clothes. This originally debuted in 2017, but a new model appeared recently.
The FoldiMate boasts the ability to fold a whole laundry load in just four minutes. However, you still have to clip on each individual item and the machine can’t sort clothes on its own. Still, this is a nifty device that could help many people.
It makes the everyday chore of laundry folding more accessible–but at a cost.
The company’s site claims the first model will cost $980 and the first shipment is targeted for late 2019.
FoldiMate also has some competition in the form Laundroid.
You can early pre-order (for 10% off). Last year’s model was ambitious enough to try and add a de-wrinkling and perfuming feature, but those have since been removed from the prototype.
As for vulnerability to malware, there isn’t much reporting on that so far. Perhaps once robots like this have officially launched, we will be able to read about benign hacked laundry robot antics.

2. Surgeon’s Assistant Robot from Auris Health
The Monarch Platform Robot assists surgeons with specific surgeries. Auris Health, a Frederic Moll company similar to Intuitive Surgical, devised it to help with biopsies. It received FDA approval for use in human lungs as operated by a doctor in March of 2018.
While some would raise the concern that this robot could replace surgeons, that outcome seems unlikely. After all, a surgeon still has to operate the robot for it to work. You can also read more on that subject below.
As for when it will become fully implemented, that is still up in the air.

3. The Honda Robot Quartet: Cute and Functional
Honda, a company known for cars, debuted a series of robot concepts back in 2018. The main goal of these robots is not to disrupt any specific industry, but instead to augment everyday life.
We’ll cover these household robots starting from left to right in the image above.
The 3E-A18 has a digital face that can cry, smile, and snooze. Apparently, it’s also huggable. Honda intends for these robots to act as guides or assistants to disabled or ailing humans.
Serving a more functional purpose over interactive, the 3E-B18 model is a chair. Specifically, it serves as a mobility chair and works for outdoor or indoor use.
The 3E-C18 model might act as a “retail stall” for items or concessions.
The 3E-D18 model actually has off-road capabilities and a power bank. Honda intends for this model to help emergency and/or constructions crews.
As these are just concepts, it is difficult to say how they will change in development. But if Honda does not take proper malware precautions, added convenience could quickly turn into a troublesome proposition. For example, if your mobility assistant goes on the fritz, how do you get to help?
4. Aeolus: Smart Household Robots for Everyday Life
Even though the Disney movie Smart Home kind of turned me off of AI run houses, a robot butler still sounds pretty cool.
Enter Aeolus: a robot that can clean your house, act as an alarm for posture changes in case of a fall, and more. It features built-in cameras, Alexa and Google Home integration, and a 2.5 KG payload.
However, some have suggested Aeolus will be more expensive when it becomes available to consumers.
Aeolus also uses AI to power the robots and predict human behaviors. This could make it susceptible to malware attack.
Home-butler-type robots might pose the biggest threat in terms of data breaches. If the bot is tasked with replenishing household resources via Amazon or reading off emails from Google, a hacker could potentially hack the robot and steal the associated credentials.
Given that Aeolus is still a concept, we won’t know what malware precautions the manufacturers have taken until more information is released.
5. LG Cloi: A Future Concept with a Poor CES Demo
The LG Cloi robot seems to offer functions similar to Aeolus and the Honda 3E-A18.
LG intends the robot to be a smart home essential addition, helping with climate control, cleaning, and so on. LG also developed the AI software ThinQ.
Of course, as true household robots should be, Cloi isn’t perfect. Despite the embarrassing Cloi CES showing, LG debuted three other robots: the shopping cart, the porter, and the serving robot.

6. AI-powered Alibaba Robot Bests Humans in Reading
As with most of the robots on this list, the real power lies in the AI that helps them function.
Though Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. is known for its robotic warehouse, they also helped develop a neural network. This network scored higher than humans on a Stanford reading and comprehension test.

Getting ahold of an AI intelligent enough to outwit a human could be bad news.
It would give hackers the upper hand when it comes to impersonating someone or fooling a security system. It would also make for the ultimate catfishing tool.
7. CIMON: Updated Microsoft Paperclip
Some of you reading this might remember the “helpful” Microsoft paperclip. The space robot CIMON (Crew Interactive Mobile Companion) might seem similar in concept. However, CIMON is actually much better at executing helpful tasks.
Some refer to CIMON as a “floating brain”. The helpful bot comes from a collaboration between Airbus and IBM. The goal of creating CIMON was to assist astronauts with tasks on the International Space Station (ISS).
He can help them with tasks such as solving problems and provide diagnostic data.
Gaining access to CIMON remotely might prove difficult for a hacker if it doesn’t use the Internet. Since there aren’t exactly fiber optic cables in space, the ISS uses primarily radio for communication.
This robot might not be malware proof, but its future location certainly safeguards it.
8. Flippy Makes for an Overly Productive Coworker
Remember when people joked about burger flippers getting replaced by robots? Well, meet Flippy, the burger flipping robot who was taken offline after one single day.
Miso Robotics developed Flippy to be the “world’s first autonomous robotic kitchen assistant.” Flippy is meant to work alongside humans using a spatula-tipped arm. Obviously, Flippys could be repurposed into household robots.
Implemented for a trial run at CaliBurger in Pasadena, California, Flippy performed well. The robot performed so well that his human coworkers couldn’t assemble the burgers quickly enough. The decision was made to take Flippy offline for now.
Despite this initial hiccup, Livescience reported that 50 CaliBurger locations will feature a Flippy by the end of 2019.
Perhaps Miso Robotics can tweak the AI that powers Flippy during this time.
Flippy’s uses its thermal vision in order to tell when a burger needs turning or when it’s cooked. If a hacker could get into Flippy’s systems, they could potentially help serve undercooked meat. Or, depending on your preference, perfectly cooked meat.
9. A Renewed Future for Sony’s AIBO Robot Dog
Some of you might remember the Sony AIBO robot dog created in 1999.
For seven years, new models came out until Sony discontinued the robot dog in 2006. But, after 12 years, Sony has decided to relaunch their robotic pets once more.
The new model features more joints and a more realistic dog face and tail. The dog also learns about their environment and their owners to develop relationships. It can even show “signs of body-temperature changes” according to the website.
But why would Sony resurrect an invention more than a decade discontinued? This video provides a clue, illuminating the sad world of AIBO ownership post-production.
I’m not sure if Sony’s reintroduction of their robot dog had anything to do with the above video. But if you don’t cry when you watch it, you may be a robot yourself.
Now, perhaps these dogs get a new “leash” on life.

en | N/A | N/A | Narnia film on the cards
Tue 2 Mar 2004 06.45 EST
The CS Lewis children's fantasy classic TDisney film, it was announced today.
The tale of four children who find a world of fawns, witches and talking lions at the back of an old wardrobe will hit cinemas in time for Christmas 2005, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Like JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings saga and JK Rowling's Harry Potter adventures, the Chronicles of Narnia, has the potential to become a series of films.
Lewis wrote seven Narnia books, and the deal signed between Disney and Walden Media would allow the partnership to continue should a first movie prove successful at the box office.
Fantasy is currently the toast of Hollywood after the finale in Peter Jackson's Tolkien trilogy, The Return of the King, won a record-tying 11 Oscars.
Lewis was a good friend of Tolkien's, and the duo were part of the Inklings society during the former's time in Oxford as a tutor at Magdalene College.
There was no indication in US reports whether the film would be live action or animated. Disney recently severed its ties with Pixar, with whom it made a hugely successful series of animated films using computer-generated images, including Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc.
However, the new film is set to be directed by Shrek film-maker Andrew Adamson, a visual effects expert who has limited experience directing live action cinema. |
en | N/A | N/A | MediCann CEO Gary Whipp spoke to Express about the clinic's journey so far in Jersey, and its recent opening in Guernsey...
"We would like the government to be involved and we are lobbying for government to help, because they need to see the amount of potential harmful drugs that patients are coming off – it's saving the states hundreds of thousands of pounds."
"Jersey is way ahead of the UK with regard to medical cannabis. I gather there are about 2000 people now prescribed on Jersey which is about 2% of the population. If that was the same in the UK we would have 1.3m people prescribed in the UK instead of 10,000!
"Well done Jersey and now well done to Guernsey for starting to catch up."
"If you're caught with cannabis in the island there are much stricter laws, and it has forced genuine patients down the medical route."
"I'm not sure that's going to happen in Guernsey, and I think it's because they realise they don't get the traction in Jersey – at the moment a lot of GPs here are reticent."
"He's now been with us eight or nine months and he's a changed man, he now sees what a difference medicinal cannabis can make in someone's life." |
en | N/A | N/A | Home›Transport lending›In Utah, many college students graduate without debt | Best states
Alexis Wilson, 23 with no debt. She now has a full-time position with the state’s Air Quality Department. She uses her paycheck and benefits to cover her expenses and has an disposable income for the first time in her life. She’s even considering following her parents’ advice and investing money early.
“If I had student debt, that would be off the table,” says Wilson. “I feel very liberated.”
Average graduates with a bachelor’s degree will take 21 years to complete their Loans, but Wilson – who made it through college without credit – isn’t that uncommon in Utah. The state – settled by groundbreaking Mormons, rulUtah student debt has remained at an elevated level in recent years downward trend. What’s Utah’s Secret?
“I’ve worked in many other states; I’ve never worked in a place where students were so guilty, and,” said Mary Parker, director of student enrollment at the university of Utah.
“Since the beginning of the Church, the Lord’s prophets have repeatedly warned against bondage to debt,” says LDS.org. “If there is debt to be incurred, such as a reasonable amount to buy a modest home or complete an education, the debt should be paid back as soon as possible.”
“They’d rather have two jobs or take fewer credit hours,” says Parker. “Students cut hours or dropouts altogether to avoid borrowing.”
On average, Utah has some of the lowest tuition fees in the country. University of Utah President Ruth Watkins credits government funding to higher education.
“Our state legislation has been a good partner,” says Watkins. “Your support enables us to keep our tuition fees affordable … unlike other states.” In fact, the school has the lowest tuition fees among his own kind in the Pac-12 conference.
Many states cut funding for higher education after the 2008 recession, but Utah avoided deep cuts because it had funding for rainy days. Until 2016, the average state spent 18In Utah, government spending fell 13.7 percent.
“In a public institution, the cost of a student’s education is split between government funds and tuition. We were very fortunate that the split was kept at 50/50,” says Heath, noting that it is better than many others States. “Utah is fortunate to have a supportive legislature that makes higher education important.”
“We recognize the economic driver of higher education,” said Senator Evan Vickers of the Republican state, chairman of the subcommittee on university funding subcommittee in Utah. “Our economy in Utah is doing well. Companies want to come here. We have but we need the workforce to make it happen. We need to provide the means to incentivize institutions and make these graduates available to fill these jobs. At the end of the day you can show a return on investment. “
Utah may outperform some states in promoting higher education, but fund increases over the past five years have been average, according to Michael Mitchegovernment spending and tuition fees are the main drivers in the student debt equation, there are other factors to consider.
“I think you have to look at demographics,” says Mitchell. “Utah is a very white state. We know that white households have significantly more wealth on average; incomes are higher on average, they have more access to home wealth-building, they have more access to networks to pay for college, and the post-graduation income payout is also higher for white students. “avily subsidizes its higher education institutions. Classes for Mormon students at Brigham Young University, a private school, costs $ 5,460 a year, compared to $ 7,956 at the University of Utah. BYU ranks 11th in the country among national universities on the US News & World Report list Schools with the best value for money, with only about 26 percent of graduates dropping out of school with debt.
LDS Church Education Officer Kim Clark said Mormons view education as a central part of their faith, based on the doctrinal foundations of the Church and the colonization of Utah.
“To build Zion – to build great communities in which people can grow and prosper – you had to raise their people,” says Clark. Many of the state’s public colleges began as academies founded by early Mormon pioneers.
“I’m really grateful for everyone who went before us and worked so hard for education,” says Clark. “We see the fruits of this system in our graduates, who go out into the world with tremendous education but are not burdened with debt.” |

en | N/A | N/A | Vocalist Jackie Allen and bassist Hans Sturm have lived in Lincoln, Nebraska for several years. When Sturm decided to celebrate great musicians who were born and bred in the Cornhusker State, he opted to write new songs characterizing the musical icons, rather than offering a collection of standards. “The Nebraska Suite”, which takes up the majority of the album “Nebraska Project”, captures the spirit of its subjects with fresh images and memorable themes. The brisk “Pass the Caviar” evokes Fred Astaire’s grace with little more than a list of his classic steps— “A slip, a slide, a silky glide”—and the skipping interplay of Allen’s sultry voice and Sturm’s agile bass. The lyric of “Southern Hospitality” focuses on Jeri Southern’s emotional instability, but the strong bass solo expands on Southern’s vocal intensity. The great basso-profundo (and voice of Tony the Tiger) Thurl Ravenscroft is portrayed in a gritty pirate song. However, the lyric reveals the neurosis that comes with the long dark nights at sea. “Hipster Be Cool” recalls Neal Hefti as the bop-influenced arranger for Woody Herman and Count Basie. The track culminates with swinging improvisations from bass and voice. The Ann Ronell tribute, “South Side Spiced Strut”, features a funky, slap-bass vamp that would also work in a sexy remake of Ronell’s biggest hit, “Willow Weep for Me”, and the tender, uncomplicated message of “Sing Your Song” is a fine match for the Queen of the Cabaret, Julie Wilson. The suite closes with “Love Birds”, a beautiful wordless tribute to Ruth Etting and her tragic relationship with gangster Moe “the Gimp” Snyder. The album’s second suite, “Indian Tales”, recasts the legends of the Omaha, Pawnee, and Ponca tribes. Allen and Sturm adopt a tough, stark approach to these tracks which emphasize the close relationship between the planet and Native Americans and separates the moods of the two suites. These original works take only 36 minutes to play in their entirety, but they are so mesmerizing that listeners may return often for repeated listening.
Upon the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, clarinetist Anat Cohen and guitarist Marcello Gonçalves were quarantined in Rio de Janeiro. Just like other artists across the globe, Brazilian music legends includingcreated internet broadcasts from home to comfort their many fans. In their new duet album, “Reconvexo”, Cohen and Gonçalves delved into that repertoire, offering their renditions of music from the MPB (Brazilian Popular Music) songbook, with a few surprises along the way. Gonçalves’ rich guitar cuddles around Cohen’s bubbly clarinet on the opening (and title) track. A little later, Cohen overdubs a second line on bass clarinet which creates a new timbre and adds melodic interest. Nascimento’s “Ànima” starts with a quiet prelude before moving into the main section which alternates medium tempos with melancholy episodes. The written sections feature brilliantly executed angular lines which span the ranges of both instruments. Dorival Caymmi’s “O Que É Que Baiana Tem?” predates MPB by at least three decades, but Cohen and Gonçalves bring fresh energy to the song with exciting interplay and intricate finger work. Gilberto Gil’s “Andar com Fé” has the feeling of a folk song, with the written cross-rhythms intensifying the melodic line. At the coda, the instruments disappear only to be replaced by the voices of Cohen and Gonçalves! “Maria Maria” changes the timbre again with a contrapuntal 2 ½ minute solo guitar introduction. Cohen joins in for the main melody, which is followed by a dramatic rubato solo section with Gonçalves’ accompaniment moving between percussive hits on the guitar’s body and minimalistic single-string lines. Over this background, Cohen weaves a brilliant scalar improvisation that changes our evolving perspective on this tune. “Correnenteza” (“The Stream”) is a late collaboration between Tom Jobim and Luiz Bonfá. Once again, Cohen’s bass clarinet adds additional depth, and the duo uses rubato to unlock the dramatism embedded in the song. “Paula e Bebato” is a collaboration between Nascimento and Veloso, and Gonçalves uses a short prelude to introduce the piece. The improvised center section builds with great intensity, then releases with a thrilling up-tempo passage. Heraclio Fernández’s “El Diablo Suelto” takes us to Venezuela for a lively folk dance in fast waltz tempo, while Stevie Wonder’s “Never Thought You’d Leave in Summer” presents a reflective coda to this fine album.
In her original song, “Down”, vocalist Cyrille Aimée does her best to convince her boyfriend to move from New York City to New Orleans. In real life, the argument was unsuccessful, but Cyrille moved to the Crescent City by herself to begin a new series of musical partnerships. “Down”—which Cyrille composed for her digital looping machine—appears as the final track on “Petit Fleur”, a new collaboration a. Outfitted with a new big band arrangement, the song is transformed into a romping second-line march. As a whole, the album celebratFrance. Cyrille sings the first three titles in French (Sidney Bechet’s “Petite Fleur”, and Django Reinhardt’s “Si Tu Salvais”) with the orchestra displaying splendid ensemble playing and outstanding soloists, including soprano saxophonist Ricardo Pascal on the title track (Unfortunately, most of the soloists and none of the arrangers are credited in the CD package). The album concept breaks down with a series of four songs not particularly associated with France or New Orleans: “I Don’t Hurt Anymore”, a country hit for Hank Snow somehow adapted into 1950s rock and roll; “In the Land of Beginning Again”, sung by Bing Crosby; “Crazy He Calls Me”, forever associated with Dinah Washington; and “On a Clear Day” from a Barbra Streisand movie. However, all of the performances are beautifully realized, with Cyrille offering a heartfelt reading of “Crazy” and contributing a marvelous scat solo on “In the Land”. And whoever arranged “On a Clear Day” deserves ample recognition for a chart loaded with a stunning array of instrumental colors, all played with precision and brio by the NOJO. The two remaining selections bring early jazz into the mix. Jelly Roll Morton’s “Get the Bucket” has the feel of a head arrangement with some good-natured jive from the band members, while “Undecided” is treated to a quick-tempoed jam, featuring a soaring scat solo from Cyrille, with a complementing statement from one of the alto saxophonists, brilliant exchanges with Rose, and a loose ending featuring several of horns supporting Cyrille. This fun musical travelogue comes highly recommended.
I first heard David Sanford’s music nearly four decades ago, when we were both mus. Back then, I was impressed with his inventive arrangements featuring unusual instrumental combinations and unorthodox formal structures, all served up with a healthy dose of off-the-wall humor (Sanford once created a big band arrangement of the score from “Rocky and Bullwinkle”). Sanford has finally made his major-label debut with “Prayer for Lester Bowie”, and even though the title piece is not Sanford’s work—it is that of Hugh Ragin, who also conducts that performance—Sanford’s leadership and musical philosophy can be felt throughout the album. The opening track “Full Immersion” has a dizzying number of instrumental combinations, and if they were all listed down, the piece would appear to be a cluttered mess. However, Sanford is a masterful organizer, knowing just how much sound to offer at any given time, so as not to overwhelm the listener. He also has a magnificent band, which combines members of his Boston-based orchestra, plus a few New York players, and several friends from Colorado, including trumpeters Brad Goode and Hugh Ragin, trombonists Mike Christianson and Steven Gehring, alto saxophonist Kelley Hart-Jenkins and drummer Mark Raynes. Many of the Colorado players performed Sanford’s music in his early days, and their returning to the band for this recording is symbolic of their long-term dedication. Newcomers to Sanford’s music might associate it with film scores, as “Subtraf” has the feel of an extremely dark horror film, and “Woman in the Shadows” recalls the sounds of film noir. Yet, Sanford’s pieces provide so much sonic detail that internal stories can be imagined without any visual cues. Like Sanford’s scores, Ragin’s tribute to Lester Bowie draws from avant-garde classical music as well as progressive jazz. However, the choices made by each composer show that shared influences do not lead to similar-sounding music. Indeed, I would venture that even those listeners unfamiliar with both Sanford and Ragin could single out each man’s work after one playing of this disc. Yet, it is the complementary nature of these two composers which makes this combination work. Following the title track is the album’s biggest surprise: a fairly straight-ahead setting of “Dizzy Atmosphere”! It has all of the hallmarks of standard big band charts, but it also includes unique background riffs and the inventive scoring of solos from the original Gillespie 78. “Soldier and the CEO” opens with a searing unaccompanied solo by Hart-Jenkins, and evolves into a soundscape where different events occur in different levels of the score. Frankly, I haven’t fully deciphered the section featuring two trumpets and the fuzz guitar, but I will certainly return to this music and dig in further. I recommend the same activity to anyone who buys this CD. Without a doubt, it is challenging music, but it is the type of music that rewards the attentive listener. |
en | N/A | N/A | As families on America’s mainland continue to lose their homes amid a national foreclosure crisis, the CNMI apparently is suffering from a gradual foreclosure meltdown of its own linked to the region’s economic downturn.
Statistics on foreclosures in the CNMI are hard to find as government officials have acknowledged that none of them keep track of the issue. However, real estate agents and other observers are reporting that a gradual upswing in the rate of foreclosures has emerged in recent years that is distinct from the turmoil seen now in the housing market of the continental United States.
Saipan’s real estate market has long suffered amid the CNMI’s economic woes with rental prices, for example, dropping significantly and some landlords even offering free rent in the first several months of a lease to attract new tenants. Most of the houses selling, Goodwin noted, are being sold for less than replacement costs.
One controversial measure to revive the housing and real estate market, he added, might be to remove restrictions under Article 12 of the local Constitution that limit the right to own land in the CNMI only to people of Northern Marianas descent. Combined with an economic revival, Goodwin said this change—an issue that could come before local voters in the near future—may improve property values and improve conditions in the housing market.
On the mainland, the number of home foreclosures rose 12 percent nationwide in August to record highs due to a jump in bank seizures, according to data from the investment firm Merrill Lynch. |

en | N/A | N/A | Complete guide of Software Engineering best practices
Posted by BRQ in February 14, 2022 | Updated April 1, 2022
If you are looking for this type of support for your new strategies in competitive markets, this guide is the perfect place to begin.
Basic principles of software engineering
Before talking about practicality, it is necessary to objectively define what Software Engineering is, so you can understand how its implementation brings a new innovative and productive dimension to the company.
The general context of this activity is simple to understand, since engineering itself is a process of planning and building structures as old as humanity itself.
The product of this work can be an information system, productivity platform, tool for specific tasks, communication systems or even digital experiences for customers. Software Engineering within the business allows you to create an environment of innovation and customization, capable of finding its own solutions to specific problems and/or objectives.
Software Engineering needs methodology for its implementation to be successful. There are some basic principles to be adopted by the development team:
formality of processes, rationalizing steps and responsibilities of the team during the development of digital solutions;
abstraction of objectives, allowing the developer to identify problems and goals to be solved without noise;
listing of objectives, in which this view of problems and objectives is broken into rational steps of planning and production;
generalization of the plan so that specific hypotheses are applicable in a generalist solution that achieves all objectives;
result quantification, making the piece of software analyzable from a more direct point of view that points to the success and failure of new hypotheses;
The biggest challenges of software engineering
While Software Engineering brings many benefits to dynamic businesses, it is still common to see C-level professionals struggling to implement it within the business —whether to develop internal solutions or to meet customer demands, especially B2B.
This difficulty has a lot to do with the challenges related to this routine. Knowing the points of attention throughout this journey makes it easy to prepare an organized and efficient development environment, focusing on transformation goals. See the main challenges of the practice.
Consolidation of software engineering principles
It is always good to remember that a software that does not meet your goal routine. If you keep your team focused on results, you can bypass obstacles and deliver a product that truly meets your needs.
Connection between solution and demand
This point seems to be obvious, but a significant amount of software has its potential wasted inside companies, when the project and its team lose connection with the objectives established during its conception.
Lack of objectivity can majorly hinder success in Software Engineering. That is why Project Managers are people with systematic and aggregator profiles, who can keep track of development and focus the team on what really matters.
Usability and experience
There is no point for a digital solution to achieve a logical goal for which it was created if it does not work in practice. More than features and tools, a software needs usability to connect its functionality to the results in the real world.
It is an issue final audience, but it also makes a big difference in productive efficiency in internal solutions.
One of the major challenges of Software Engineering is that this process does not end when the first goal is achieved—and it can never be seen that way.
When a company commits to the development of a digital solution, it needs to analyze the evolution of this product in the medium and long term, with evolution roadmaps and improvement of its practical characteristics.
This is a search to rationalize processes, ensure results and prioritize the quality of the solution in relation to its objectives. See the most important practices to seize the potential of Software Engineering.
Although the software engineer is responsible for the project, this does not mean that his team should be restricted only to developers and technology professionals.
Agile methodologies, for example, are very efficient to create a consolidated Software Engineering environment within the company. There are several examples such as Kanban, Scrum etc.
Collect the necessary requirements and resources
Use prototyping
Create a cycle of improvemet
Speaking of measuring, the ability of C-level professionals to collect and analyze data is increasingly important in the market. This also applies to Software Engineering.
The monitoring of performance indicators of the solution indicates opportunities for improvement and challenges that can still be overcome.
Tools that can contribute to software engineering
In a project that involves collaboration, efficient steps and intelligent process vision, Software Engineering becomes more optimized when tools support the team’s productivity.
There are no universal solutions for this. Each company should adapt its development routine to its objectives and to the particularities of the desired solution. But we can suggest some types of tools in relevant areas to cover the needs of these processes. Here are some examples:
Communication and team management tools, such as Slack and Trello, facilitate the alignment of productive steps and the communication of the team in real time;
Organization and versioning tools, such as Git, assist in the rationalization of changes and branch-based development, for greater control over changes being put into practice and troubleshooting;
Development tools, such as Eclipse IDE, Matlab and others, that serve to specific development purposes and streamline the work of engineers;
General management platforms, such as ERPs and SAPs, that give C-levels not only the visibility of the development process, but also the ability to measure its impact on the business practice;

en | N/A | N/A | Aptly named by breeders at Northern Emeralds, Titan OG is a strain that should be taken seriously. While her exact genetic makeup is unknown, it’s rumored that she’s part of the SFV OG Kush family. Known for producing exceptional bud, this Humboldt County creation is slightly indica-dominant and should be enjoyed sparingly to avoid overwhelming sedation.
Each one is mint green with a thick carpet of pistils and a plethora of chunky trichomes. True to her supposed heritage, this strain smells and tastes of spicy citrus mixed with a sour, earthy note, accented by a bit of kush just to round things out. Although she’s best enjoyed after dinner, Titan OG shouldn’t be considered a dessert strain by any stretch.
Only true cannabis lovers will appreciate all that Titan OG has to offer, because before you end up feeling her relaxing effects, it’s likely that you’ll experience a pretty significant lift. Many report that a wave of joy coupled with intense creativity wash over you right off the bat, allowing you to make progress on long-forgotten projects or even enjoy a stimulating conversation with others. Use this time wisely because no matter how strongly you fight it, it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll end up horizontal for a good period of time.
When you’re in need of serious therapeutic relief, Titan OG could be the answer to your prayers. Many who use cannabis for medical purposes find that it can help to ease th, making it nearly impossible to form a worrisome thought. Bodily pain may very well also be soothed after a few tokes of this potent bud, and if you struggle to get a good night of sleep, go to town with Titan OG and see how refreshed you feel in the morning.
Breeders at Northern Emeralds pride themselves on their unique growing methods as they’re committed to producing some of the finest cannabis around. It’s their goal to ensure that every strain with their name on it is exceptional. What does that mean for home cultivators? Wellincluding Titan OG in your garden. Seeds and clones appear to be unavailable for this and any other strain by this team.
If you live in Northern California then Titan OG might already be a part of your regular cannabis line-up, but if not, consider making a drive to a dispensary that stocks this powerful bud. Those who appreciate classic flavors and a good mixture of effects will certainly see why she’s so popular but keep in mind that you’ll need to take things easy. Newer smokers should probably steer clear of Titan OG while those who are more experienced will enjoy all she has to offer. |

Pedra de Raio 05:32
São Paulo’s acclaimed 10-piece instrumental collective return for their 4th album. Urban Afro-Brazilian grooves, empowered horn-driven melodicism and massive dance floor inspiration.
One of South America’s most exhilarating musical propositions.
Almost four centuries after the first slave ships loaded their cargoes and set sail, the connection between Brazil and West Africa remains firm and deep. It was African slaves who created the culture of Brazil in all its sorrows and its joys, and those memories have flowed down through the generations. Africa is everywhere in Brazil, and it pulses through the music on Quebra Cabeça (Puzzle), Bixiga 70’s second studio album for Glitterbeat, where two continents dance together across the black Atlantic.
“From the very beginning, what we have always had in common is African-Brazilian music,” explains baritone sax player and flautist Cuca Ferreira. ‘Some of us come from candomblé (the African-Caribbean religion), others from jazz, reggae, dub, everything. The whole idea of the band has been to take all these different elements that form us, from Africa and Brazil, and create a hybrid from them.”
With Quebra Cabeça, that hybrid has taken on a slightly different form. As Ferreira notes, this time Bixiga 70’s music “is more complex. We worked harder on the compositions than in the past, spent more time on them. Each song has a lot of different parts, they can seem like a journey.”
That’s apparent in the shifts and turns of a piece like “Pedra De Raio” or “Levante,” where the melody shifts and swerves, one section flowing naturally into the next, adding layer upon layer to create something astonishing and utterly satisfying in its power. In large part, this change has come from the band’s relentless touring over the last few years.
“We’ve been exposed to so much,” Ferreira notes. “So many of the people we’ve played with have had an impact on us, like Pat Thomas, the Ghanaian highlife singer or [Nigerian saxophonist] Orlando Julius. And then we toured and recorded with João Donato. He’s over 80 now and still playing piano, one of the icons of Brazilian music. We’ve learned from them all, they’ve made us think about what we can do with our music. Those new ideas have found their way into this album.”
One result is the new, shining lyricism of the melodies, with the horns pushed even more to the fore, parading around with a singer’s swagger.
“We want people to relate to our melodies, to take the line a vocalist might use and play it on the horns. Sometimes in instrumental music, the players are so good it ends up putting the listener at a distance. We make music as a celebration, a way to connect and bring some joy. We want to draw them in. We try to write something very memorable.”
And Quebra Cabeça is a very memorable set of hummable earworms, from the title cut that opens up the album and continuing, sinewy and cool and relentless, all the way to the final note of “Portal.”
Throughout though, the heartbeat of everything remains utterly African, refracted through the prism of the band’s home in the Bixiga neighbourhood of São Paulo. “What we put on top of that is essentially urban São Paulo music. This city has been a huge influence on us. It has that sense of urgency, always running to catch up. It’s expensive, and services are awful, with so much pollution and violence. But it’s our home and it was developed through immigration. Bixiga is where people come first of all. It’s always had that influx; it’s the story of São Paulo in miniature.”
And Bixiga 70 has always been a reflection of the streets where they live. The band played their first show in October 2010 and released their debut album a year later. Eight years on they are still the same 10-piece collective, honing and shaping the music, evolving towards the changes found on Quebra Cabeça.
“We knew we wanted this record to be different. Our other three albums were all recorded live in the studio, because we’re more of a live band, the stage is our habitat. This time we decided to use the studio to experiment with arrangements and voicings. We began composing in early 2017. It took us a year to write everything, then we began recording in May this year. And for the first time we used a co-producer, Gustavo Lenza (Céu, Marisa Monte). He was a friend even before we formed the band, but it recent years he’s become a very big producer in Brazil.”
The result still captures the incendiary excitement of Bixiga 70 live, but the freedom of the studio brings more shade and subtlety than before. The rhythms are more sinuous than ever, snaking through the funk in way that looks more to Ghana or Nigeria than Memphis or Muscle Shoals, while the horns strut in powerful harmonies. It’s music that forges connections and retraces history while sounding absolutely contemporary. But for Bixiga 70, African will always be the root, and Brazil its beautiful, vibrant flower.

We don’t write a lot about religion here and I don’t know anything about “the Scotts” who plan to start a new church in Newton.
On a visit to Newton in June of 2016, Devlin and Katie started to fall in love this unique and beautiful City. While having dinner at 51 Lincoln in Newton Highlands, they sensed God beginning to write a love story for Newton. A story that would reimagine a view of God and Church that refreshes the disinterested, disengaged, and disheartened, and invites them to embark on a journey to “see God and Church differently.”

@Newtoner– Religious institutions are exempt from zoning regulations and property taxes. I have no problem with the zoning exemption, but I have a huge problem with the property tax exemption. It’s nothing but a free ride for free-loader institutions. The City is not without recourse however. We have a way to get that money from tax exempt institutions. But it requires a Mayor who is willing to confront these freeloaders and tell them THE FREE RIDE IS OVER. I’m waiting to see if either Scott Lennon or Ruthanne Fuller [the 2 announced mayoral candidates] have the courage to tackle this issue. |

en | N/A | N/A | I've come to believe that the di Democrats is that one "grew up" and the other one failed to do so. To me "growing up" meant that government cannot create wealth and cannot "take care of you" without creating a system of support that generates massive fraud, waste and abuse. "Growing up" also means standing on your own two feet, supporting yourself and your family, standing by your convictions and living a life that champions the individual while also understanding that you have responsibilities as a citizen, to your family, community and your country.
I wrote earlier about voting Democratic in thee. The year was 1972 and I voted for Senator George McGovern over Tricky "Dick" Nixon. I had read a couple of books about Nixon as well as two that Nixon himself wrote.
However, my Democratic vote decision was far deeper than that. Having returned from Vietnam, I was disheartened about our government leaders supporting a corrupt South Vietnamese government. After three years of seeing American G.I.'s taking the battle to the enemy while many of the South Vietnamese troops took a back seat, I had less than a stellar opinion of the South Vietnamese. I had also become convinced that, at best, we would end the conflict in a truce-like stalemate, as with the Korean War. McGoverrn was for ending the war and I agreed with him.
But, I must confess, I was also fairly idealistic and naive. I truly believed then that we must, as Obama loves to say, "be our brother's keeper". I believed that we should take care of the "needy". Of course, at that time, I had no idea how many people were declaring "false need" and gaming the system, nor did I understand how corrupting government give-aways can be.
The first inkling that I had that the playing field was not level was after I had a couple of children and tried to support them on a military salary of $400 bucks a month. At that time, even at such a low income level, taxes and social security and medicare withholding was eating up sufficient portions of my pay that kept us on hamburger level sustenance. My wife was sewing almost all of the kids' clothing and we couldn't afford a movie night, much less a family vacation. I decided to take a second job, while also trying to get my off duty college education.
Shortly after taking a second job I became casual friends with another military guy of my same rank. I noticed that he had lots of time on the weekends to take the kids out and was always well rested. He also drove a late model car. I asked him how he managed. He told me that he was on Food Stamps as well as state program that provided assistance to working families. I was resentful of this but vowed that I would never take government handouts as long as I was able to work.
Over the years I learned more and more about government social programs. I was to learn that government give aways were far more generous than just Food Stamps. I began to notice that many folks were living quite well without having to hold down a job. Eventually, my wife would also take a job but no matter how much we made I found that more than half of our earnings were going to some sort of tax. So, it was really "paycheck reality" that converted me to conservatism.
I've since studied this in far greater detail. I'm convinced that liberal Democrats fall into three categories; professional liberal politicians who gather their political power base by encouraging people to rely on government largess for a living, young people who are instilled with naive liberal compassion before they too begin looking at "paycheck reality" and finally, a massive group of people who have learned since childhood that the government will feed and house them, just as one would do with children.
Conservatives have learned that you alone are responsible for your well being and that government tends toward corruption. They are the grownups.
Having learned this, and with the realization that our massive federal debt can no longer support this government largess, I am fearful of what the "children" will do when the gravy train stops and the "children" are asked to disembark. Read my earlier blog entry "A Second Civil War?"...I fear this may come to pass earlier than we might think.
Jo, reference your "Middle Eastern people expecting Americans to fight and die for them"...During the war in Kosovo I was working in Saudi..as more and more muslims were being slaughtered the Saudis were getting more angry at the U.S. for not interceding..finally one of the Saudi Air Force Captains hammered me one morning while I was working at Saudi Air Force headquarters..he said "why don't you Americans get in there and stop this muslim massacre!" I don't think I've ever been more ticked off. I responded "Hey, we're not Muslim, where are the Saudi troops in Kosovo? Why aren't you sending troops to stop it?" Now, Obama is deserting our only ally there and kissing Muslim behind even more. Sad. |
en | N/A | N/A | A master of martial arts (and every other athletic endeavor), Lawrence, "Crusher" Crock uses his prowess and customized equipment as Sportsmaster. A former freelance assassin for the League of Shadows, Sportsmaster is now personal enforcer for The Light.
Sportsmaster's sculpt is almost entirely new. In fact, of the entire body, the only bits that are possibly reused are the hands, groin, the right forearm, the biceps and the shoulders. He may not be wearing a traditional uniform, but this definitely looks like sports gear - like the padding and under armor pros wear under their uniforms today. He has grey boots with armored soles, and his pants are tucked into them. He has purple kneepads, a pouch strapped to his right thigh, and a utility belt with small squarish pouches. He's wearing black gloves with armored knuckles, black elbow pads, and a white T-shirt beneath a black and purple vest. There are armored plates on his left arm, like lacrosse pads or something along those lines.
like his costume got an upgrade, so did his modus operandi: he still uses athletic equipment to commit his crimes, but it's been toned down a bit; the only piece he comes with that's unquestionably sports-related is the thick silver baseball bat; the rest could belong to anyone who uses thrown weapons (which means they'll be great to hand down to Bullseye). He has a spear, a boomerang, a pair of knives, nunchucks and two throwing stars. Everything except the spear is molded from PVC, for safety's sake, which means even the bat is soft and floppy.

Sportsmaster was an absolute loser in the comics, but the cartoon has done a superb job of rehabilitating him and turning him into a villain who actually seems like he'd be able to hold his own against superheroes.

en | N/A | N/A | Fashion designer Joseph Altuzarra walked actress Indya Moore, from the upcoming show "Pose," down the Tony carpet. She was dressed in an aqua green dress, her left shoulder showing. At first glance the design looked simple—demure even—but the details of carefully placed decals made it a stunner.
Moore seemed to be a satisfied customer, to say the least.
"It just reminds me of, like, a gnome or an elf or something mystical," she said.
Altuzarra stayed neutral when asked which show he was rooting for, but he stressed his love of the theater.
"This is your first time walking the red carpet?" a neighboring reporter asked her.
"Oh no, no, no," Moore replied.
"She's a pro," Altuzarra said.
"And it's been good for me," she added.
Moore plays streetwalker Angel, who falls in love with both her client Stan (Evan Peters) and New York City's ballroom scene—something the "Pose" star can relate to. "I am a Black person, of non-gender conformity, and I am proud of who I am," she said. |

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1365289/creating-ai-players.html Hi, I have been working in unity for nearly a month now and I love it but I feel like I have just hit a major snag, ok my problem is I need to have about ai 500+ players for my boxing management sim. These players have to persist I guess as their stats would need to improve etc over time. I have created the code that generates the player names and the starting stats. What I have now discovered is that this might not be efficient enough to run. Can Unity handle a game where over 500 objects persist in different scenes etc. Could player prefs work for all the ai players or is it just aimed at storing data for just the player? As this game is going to be very stat driven is Unity the right fit for this or am I being a bit ambitious. Does anybody know of any management sims that are made in unity for me to get some idea of what it can do please? ai playerprefs management Wed, 14 Jun 2017 01:02:15 GMT rjb2803
Problem with carved obstacles. Minions Diverting from the path.
http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1364741/problem-with-carved-obstacles-minions-diverting-fr.html Hey guys! I've a problem with obstacles who're carved. When I move a carved obstacle on the map, even if this obstacle isn't in the minions's path, minions deviated a little bit from their path and start walking infinitely at the edge of the hole. I've try autopath and many others things like updating agent settings but I start to thing it's a unity problem cause I'm able to recreate it easily. If the object are not carved, i can move them without have this problem. I set a destination who's travelling all the map. So if my minions are at the start of the map and I start moving a obstacle anywhere on the map, if it's carve, minions gonna deviate. Any idea?

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1364595/running-unique-scriptableobject-instances.html I've been doing the tutorial from Unity on [ScriptableObjects](https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/navigation/intro-and-session-goals?playlist=17105) and reached an impase when I finally realized that ScriptableObjects are not like Monobehaviours in the sense that they are unique to the GameObject they operate on. For example, I've made a Wander action where the Ai would move randomly in the scene. If I tell 2 Ai's to use this action they will all move towards the same random position generated by the script. Same goes with attacking the player. If I have an Ai that spotted the player (which means that its close by) it will move in to attack, but if this Ai spotted the player even the Ai that's on the other end of the scene would have "spotted" the player and change his state from idle or wander into attack. This is of course not the behaviour I wish from the Ai. I've scoured the forums and answers and the only answer I could find was to clone the ScriptableObjects: ScriptableObject clone = Object.Instantiate(scriptableObjectAsset); What I did with the solution above is that instead of using: CurrentState.UpdateState(this); I create a newState that instantiates the CurrentState and updates that newState (aka, the clone). newState = Object.Instantiate(CurrentState); newState.UpdateState(this); This however still does not solve the issue. Two different Ai's with a clone of the "wander action" will move to the same position, two different Ai's in different locations of the map / scene will "see" the player and move in to attack and so on. What am I doing wrong here? Should I just revert back to monobehaviours for the AI? Edit: In the end it seems like I need to consider a different approach for the AI. The answer that Haxagonius offered below is what clarified it for me. ai scriptableobject Mon, 12 Jun 2017 16:01:17 GMT LunguM

NavMeshAgent Base Offset breaks navigation
http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1363271/navmeshagent-base-offset-breaks-navigation.html In my game I have a flying enemy type with a NavMeshAgent component attached. If I set Base Offset to 0 it navigates perfectly but it slides along the ground. If I set base offset to 2 to keep the enemy in the air while navigating, for whatever reason it just doesn't move to its destinations accurately or at all in some cases. I need it to fly towards the player and explode on him which works with base offset on 0 but if base offset is set to 2 then it slows down as it gets close to the destination (player) and backs away in some cases. Anyone have any clue what I'm missing? I don't want to manually change the height of the enemy model/collider to 2 while setting the transform and base offset to 0. It works somewhat but there are other problems that come along with that kind of change. ai navmesh navmeshagent nav Thu, 08 Jun 2017 23:41:25 GMT Dremin
Calling a function outside the Finite State Machine

Here's the layout with pieces of code in chronological order: A: I call the function from the out side script (MonoBehaviour): if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, target) <= minDistance) { avatar.GoToSpecificPoint(target, transform); B: The function is then redirected to the "main script" of the FSM (MonoBehaviour): public void GoToSpecificPoint(Vector3 target, Transform player) { currentState = goToSpecificPoint; goToSpecificPoint.SpecificPoint(target, player); } C: The function is then redirected to the goToSpecificPoint state(Interface): public void SpecificPoint(Vector3 target, Transform player) { playerTransform = player; targetLocation = target; shopper.navMeshAgent.destination = targetLocation; } Someone help me write this path, and I don't like it. I don't want the function "SpecificPoint" to be called directly from B part, I want it to be called from the Update function of the C part, aka the actual state. BUT for some reason it wont let me assign this function from the Update() telling me that it takes arguments, and when I declare them it says that it's the wrong context. c# ai function state state-machine Wed, 07 Jun 2017 22:43:09 GMT Eco-Editor

I have created so far the driving mechanics, the turning mechanics and the breaking ones. But I'm having difficulties knowing when to apply the brake. Imagine the situation : You have a car stopped at a red light and there's one coming from behind on full speed, how can I calculate the breakforce which I have to apply in order for it to stop relatively close and realistic behind the other car? Im using simple Raycast forward in order to detect other cars. private void Sensors() { RaycastHit hit; Vector3 sensorStartPos = transform.position; if (Physics.Raycast(sensorStartPos, transform.forward, out hit, sensorLength)) { Debug.DrawLine(sensorStartPos, hit.point); if (hit.transform.tag == "Car") { CarEngine otherCar = hit.transform.GetComponent (); Debug.Log("Hit"); } } } In order to apply the brakes, all you need to do is set `isBraking = true` and set a braking force if needed. raycast ai car wheelcollider Mon, 05 Jun 2017 19:39:35 GMT mutafow

NavMesh link does not connect properly on runtime
http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1359283/navmesh-link-does-not-connect-properly-on-runtime.html I am using the latest version of Unity 5.6.1f1 currently up-to-date. **What I am trying to do** In my 2.5D game, I am spawning enemies that will navigate towards the player while avoiding obstacles (with curving enabled) spawned in runtime. I also spawn a plane (on which the player and enemies moves) additively, I want the current plane navMesh surface to connect to the next spawned plane navMesh surface with a navMesh link so that the enemies can navigate to other planes via the link. **What is the Problem?** There are two issues happening: 1. The link closer to the obstacle whose curving is `enabled` do not get connected to the next plane. 2. Since the player can run right and left I rotate the plane according to the direction the player is facing, however rotating the plane at 180 degrees, while it's direction is equal to `Vector3.Down` (which is (0,-1,0)) the navMesh links on that plane do not connect to its neighboring planes in runtime. **My Implementation** First of all, I am using the navMesh components provided by Unity on [GitHub][1] to achieve this in runtime. Now when I spawn the plane additively I first build the navMesh surface then update its attached links. nextPlaneSurface.BuildNavMesh(); for (int i = 0; i < nextPlaneLinks.Length; i++) { nextPlaneLinks[i].UpdateLink(); } Next, I update the current plane (which the player is on) navMesh links to connect with the newly spawned plane navMesh surface. for (int i = 0; i < currPlaneLinks.Length; i++) { currPlaneLinks[i].UpdateLink(); } [1]: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/NavMeshComponents **What I have tried to fix the problem** For the first problem:- - Updating the current links and rebuilding the navMesh before and after spawning the obstacles. - Updating only the current links before and after spawning the obstacles. For the second problem:- - I am out of clues, I have no idea what's causing this :( Will really appreciate if anyone can help me out, also if you guys can explain what's happening internally in the unity scripts that will be really helpful.

I have a scene of a supermarket. Once my user approaches a shelf, the AI is approaching the user. My quest here, is to have the AI on a fixed position by the user, as for right now it varies. My idea was to use the x,z position of the user, and have the AI stand on the same x but different z positions. I must say, that I have more than just one AI, and I need them to stand in one line with the user. So perhaps you'd suggest another approach. here's a piece of C# script: public void SpecificPoint(Vector3 target, Transform player) { alreadyPicked = false; enRoute = true; playerTransform = player; targetLocation = target; initialPlayerDistanceFromShelf = Vector3.Distance(targetLocation, playerTransform.position); shopper.navMeshAgent.destination = targetLocation; shopper.animator.SetBool("Walk", true); } I've tried transform.Translate but this would have the AI suddenly appear by the user.

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1353809/navigatin-mesh-agent-works-for-10-seconds-then-sta.html I have a NavMeshAgent guiding one of the enemies in my game, getting it to wander around, and my code works for like 10 seconds, the enemy moves around fine, however after that the enemy starts jumping around the nav mesh, sporadically, with no fluidity or anything. This is the code that is called in my update method to keep the enemy moving private void enemyRoam() { Vector3 randomDirection = Random.insideUnitSphere * wanderRadius; randomDirection += transform.position; NavMeshHit hit; NavMesh.SamplePosition(randomDirection, out hit, wanderRadius, -1); Vector3 finalPosition = hit.position; agent.destination = finalPosition; } Any ideas on why this would work for a few seconds and then start moving the enemy sporadically?

Once the user enters the collider the avatars approach him. My goal is to have the avatars face the same direction as the user. If user faces wall X, I want the avatar to face wall X. Right now they approach the user and some face the user, some face the other way... It has to be under control. I'll note that this is a VR environment, I don't use any form of ray cast except for teleporting. How can I control this? rotation ai vr navmeshagent steam Mon, 15 May 2017 20:37:37 GMT Eco-Editor |

en | N/A | N/A | The city of Port Townsend is advancing on the purchase of a 14-acre property on Evans Vista as a site for future affordable housing on the Olympic Peninsula.
In early November, city council held a …
In early November, city council held a business meeting and unanimously approved an authorization for City Manager John Mauro to execute an agreement in an amount not to exceed $20,000 with Willamette Cultural Resources Association for a cultural resources survey of the Evans Vista property.
“They’ve worked for the city before. They did the Jefferson Street Project; very familiar with the area,” Public Works Director Steve King said during the business meeting. “They will dig little test pits to look for indicators of cultural resources. They are going to work very efficiently to do the survey and share with us what they find.”
“This is something that also is a requirement of department of commerce,” King said. “As City Manager Mauro and I discussed, it’s also the way that we like to do business to make sure that we’re honoring the heritage of this area.”
“We anticipate continuing our due diligence over the next month … and presenting a recommendation to city council by Dec. 13,” Mauro said in an email to The Leader.
The city must complete the cultural resources survey, sign a Washington state commerce grant — which would provide most of the funds to subsidize the $1.37 million property purchase — and present a recommendation to city council.
“We want to ensure that before we acquire that project, or before we recommend buying that property, that we have done a thorough job of investigating for cultural resources,” King said.
The land is located south of the West Sims Way and Rainier Street roundabout, and northwest of the paper mill.
Although the area is 14 acres in total, only 8 acres are suitable for development, while the other 6 acres is too steep to build on. The property is zoned for mixed use, which allows for residential housing along with commercial businesses.
In the second phase of the project, if the purchase-and-sale agreement is met and finalized by the Dec. 17 expiration of the contract, the property will need a sewer line before it’s developed.

en | N/A | N/A | Legendary pilot Captain Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown unveils exhibition at de Havilland Aircraft Museum
One of Britain’s most distinguished pilots officially opened a new exhibition on Saturday.
Retired Royal Navy pilot Captain Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown unveiled a plaque at the de Havilland At Sea display in Salisbury Hall- one of four exhibitions which the museum is staging this year.
It features the aircraft which Hatfield-based aircraft design and construction company de Havilland produced for the Royal Navy’s aircraft carriers from the 1940s to the 1970s.
These include the Sea Hornet, Sea Venom, and Sea Vixen, all of which Captain Brown flew during his career, which saw him achieve world records for the most types of aircraft flown and the most landings on aircraft carriers.
During the opening ceremony Captain Brown told the audience: “the world of naval aviation is a difficult one”, as when disoriented after combat there was no help for the pilot in finding his way back “then you have to land on a carrier”.
He also praised de Havilland for its high quality of design and building naval aircraft. He said: “de Havilland have done a wonderful job, it was a great company and thank God we had de Havilland at the right time in our history”.
He also signed numerous prints of de Havilland’s most famous aircraft, the Second World War “wooden wonder” twin-engine Mosquito fighter bomber.
The museum will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Mosquito’s maiden flight next year. It has three of the aircraft, including the Prototype which was one of a number designed and built at Salisbury Hall and which took off from there.
The exhibition is one of four which the museum is staging this year. Operation Jericho, marking the 1944 Mosquito attack on Amiens Prison, France was opened earlier this year, Horsa Glider Operations of 1944 and opening next month will be de Havilland – The Great War.
This will feature the types of aircraft built for the then Royal Flying Corps (RFC), the shooting down of a German airship at Cuffley, and RFC’s airfield at London Colney.

Last night, a number of Senate progressives, led by Sherrod Brown (D-OH), met with Majority Leader Harry Reid to make sure his eyes are still trained on the importance of a public option, and to game out a strategy for getting 60 votes to pass a health care bill with a public option on the floor.According to sources, the meeting was meant to serve as a reminder to that progressives still feel very strongly about the importance ofbill and that they've compromised enough.Today, Reid expects to receive an analysis of his bill from CBO, which he'll circulate among members of his caucus. It should show that the cost of the bill is below $900 billion, and that it reduces the deficit in both the near and long term.
On Monday night, the Daily Show argued that a civilian trial in New York City is a bad idea -- not necessarily for some of the reasons offered by conservatives -- but because the media will definitely go way overboard.

Be-cause the virus requires hepatitis B surface antigen for its replica-tion, only individuals with hepatitis B are at risk for hepatitis D. Anti-delta antibodies in the presence of HBAg on testing confirm the diagnosis. It is also common among IV/ multiple blood transfu-sions. Sexual contact with those with hepatitis B is considered to be an important mode of transmission of hepatitis B and D. The incubation period varies between 21 and 140 days (Bacon & Di Bisceglie, 2000)B, except that patients are more likely to develop fulminant hepati-tis and to progress to chronic active hepatitis and cirrhosis.

en | N/A | N/A | The constant ringing sensation might be irritating but tinnitus is not a disease – Permanent Tinnitus Relief
Tinnitus involves the annoying sensation of hearing sound when no external sound is present. Tinnitus can be an early indicator of Meniere’s disease, an inner ear disorder that may be caused by abnormal inner ear fluid pressure. Treating these linked conditions may not affect tinnitus directly, but it can help you feel better. The cause of a constant noise in the patient’s ears was a dissecting left carotid artery. Three otolaryngologists had told Luchs he had tinnitus, a harmless but annoying condition typically characterized by a ringing sound, less often by the pulsating noise Luchs heard. A constant barrage of noise, Sismanis adds, can be very distressing; some tinnitus sufferers have committed suicide because they could not bear the constant din. Luchs vividly remembers feeling a rush of gratitude so intense it initially trumped his fear about its underlying cause. While often described as a ringing, it may also sound like a clicking, hiss or roaring. Tinnitus is not a disease but a symptom that can result from a number of underlying causes. 42 Homeostatic control mechanisms exist to correct the problem within a minute after onset and is normally accompanied by a slight reduction in hearing sensitivity followed by a feeling of fullness in the ear.
A surprising number of people suffer from constant ringing in ears. Brief, spontaneous tinnitus, lasting seconds to minutes, is a nearly universal sensation. This is a disease that causes the small bones in your middle ear to stiffen, thus reducing their function. Tinnitus cannot be cured, but it can be managed with some lifestyle changes. Tinnitus is not a disease in itself. A ringing sensation in the ears (tinnitus), or people complaining that you talk too loudly are signs you may need to have your hearing checked. Prolonged exposure to air pollutants, such as dust, can irritate the larynx and cause chronic laryngitis. It can sound like a low roar, or a high pitched ring. Persons who experience tinnitus should be seen by a physician expert in ear disease, typically an otolaryngologist. Steady, constant tinnitus is usually due to some cause of hearing loss, but people with no measurable hearing loss may hear tinnitus if they are in a totally quiet environment in which little sound is coming into their auditory system from the outside.
However, constant or recurring tinnitus is stressful and makes it harder to focus or sleep. Meniere’s disease — an inner ear disorder that involves hearing loss and dizziness. The noise can be constant or come in short bursts; it can last for long periods of time or go away fairly soon. In some cases, masking can train the brain not to hear the annoying noises and, after a while, the device might not be needed all the time. Although irritating, this noise may have little impact on their daily lives. It is also important to understand that these noises in your ears are a symptom and not a disease with a known cure. Therefore, the bothersome ringing sound of tinnitus can be suppressed with a white noise which is a constant, gentle sound and is more pleasant to the ears.
Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing a ringing, buzzing, roaring, hissing or whistling sound in one or both ears when no external sound is present. But, he adds, most tinnitus sufferers are looking for a cure. Hearing all the time is very annoying. Andr e I am 84 years old and I have tinnitus which started when I was 14 years old when a bomb exploded too close, and I also have Meniere Disease, as I have a balance problem. I can hear and am not deaf so I guess putting up with the constant ringing is the price I pay for being able to hear at all. When I get that kind of ringing, my tinnitus DISAPPEARS! Even though there is some faint ringing, the sensation of having NO tinnitus for that brief period is heaven. Tinnitus is not a disease but a medical condition signified by a constant ringing in one or both ears that only you can hear. While the sound is always annoying, it’s not always a ringing. An electronic device called a masker may be worn to distract from the ringing sensation. Tinnitus is defined as sounds coming from the ear that are not coming from an external source. Not only is the patient dealing with hearing loss, but this constant, nagging sound in their ears. Meniere s disease, an inner ear pathology, can cause a sudden roaring tinnitus to occur that is often very loud and annoying; Eustachian tube dysfunction can cause a temporary ringing in ears that often goes away when the eardrum moves normally. But, also know that severe and persistent, tinnitus may need to be looked into and can easily interfere with sleep and the ability to concentrate, resulting in psychological distress. Clucking or cracking sounds, whirring sounds, a non-constant ringing tone that comes and goes. Meniere’s Syndrome (not Meniere’s Disease). This fluctuation in the levels of trace elements in the fluid is what can lead to symptoms like: feeling of ear pressure or fullness in the ears, tinnitus hearing loss, vertigo, dizziness and imbalance. Symptoms are acute attacks of vertigo (severe dizziness), fluctuating tinnitus, increasing deafness, and a feeling of pressure in the ear. The fullness in the ear and tinnitus may precede the attacks of vertigo, but they will often occur without warning. Stage 2, hearing levels fluctuate but do not return to normal.
It Tinnitus must always be thought of as a symptom and not a disease, just as pain in the arm or leg is a symptom and not a disease. Because the function of the auditory (hearing) nerve is to carry sound, when it is irritated from any cause it produces head noise. Meniere’s disease is a disorder where patients experience dizziness, tinnitus and hearing loss, sometimes due to chemotherapy. Meniere’s disease is an inner ear disorder that causes severe hearing loss, ringing in the ears, and dizziness. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) -The crystals in the inner ear become dislodged and move to one of the semicircular canals and cause irritation. You may feel spinning sensation associated with loss of balance and unsteadiness. When the ringing is constant it can be annoying and distracting. Not usually, but sometimes they are able to hear a certain type of tinnitus. It is important to see a physician who specializes in ear disorders (an otolaryngologist) to attempt to determine the cause of your tinnitus, and what kind of treatment if any, may be needed. Many who suffer from tinnitus describe the annoying sound as ringing in the ear, but a whistling, hissing, buzzing, or pulsing sound is also possible. But most are not that lucky, and will experience symptoms 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In rare cases, tinnitus may be caused by a blood vessel disorder, resulting in pulsatile tinnitus. Relaxation methods, such as meditation, can also help alleviate the constant ringing in your ears.
The constant ringing sensation might be irritating but tinnitus is not a disease. It is a symptom of other prevailing health conditions. While there is no permanent cure for this irritating symptom, studies suggest that tinnitus yoga can ease the condition. Tinnitus can force people to withdraw from their social life, make them depressed, and give them insomnia. As the brain s feedback controls get rewired, the neurons end up in a self-sustaining loop, producing a constant ringing. It is a disease of networks that span the brain. But if a real cure ever comes, it will probably not be a single silver bullet. Very annoying these medications. Can you imagine anything more annoying than hearing a mosquito buzzing around your head and not being able to catch it? A dentist s drill might be a close match. People with tinnitus look normal, but the affliction can be as crippling as arthritis. Compared to heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, tinnitus seems like a trivial complaint. The constant ringing or hissing not only affects concentration, it also can interfere with sleep. Tinnitus also known as ringing in the ears can be managed. It may be intermittent, constant or fluctuant, mild or severe, and may vary from a low roaring sensation to a high pitched type of sound. Tinnitus must always be thought of as a symptom and not a disease, just as pain in the arm or leg is a symptom and not a disease.

“We purchased our code ebook, we met with the native code enforcement, we did the whole thing that had to be accomplished to transform that into a house,” Nick stated.
Nick acted as the overall contractor throughout the renovation of the house. The couple basically depended on YouTube movies and used to be ready to show the shed right into a two-story, 860-square-foot house. It has one bed room, a deck, and dealing plumbing.
“It used to be very radical and excessive however we wouldn’t have it another approach,” Nick stated.
The Lucidos invested round $60,000 into reworking the shed right into a livable house.
“A house is in reality only a position so that you can lay your head down at evening and simply get better and fill up your self. We didn’t spend a large number of time within. If you have 8 acres in the midst of the woods, you could have some freedom to do what you wish to have,” Nick stated.
To begin with, the couple deliberate to reside within the shed as they constructed their new house at the similar assets.
Then again, when the pandemic hit and residential costs higher around the nation, they noticed a possibility to promote.
“We had a large number of other folks let us know we will have to Airbnb it out. It used to be roughly like, ‘Let’s simply checklist it and notice what occurs.’ And we were given a large number of hits on it. It used to be like, ‘Oh, possibly other folks do like this,’” Meghan stated.
Right through the pandemic, many American citizens made up our minds to depart towns and discover extra suburban or rural spaces.
“I believe it used to be a super house and with the marketplace how it used to be on the time, other folks had been escaping Atlanta and the metro space and other folks sought after a bit of privateness and seclusion and I believe that assets delivered so much,” Nick stated.
Nick and Meghan offered the renovated house for $312,000 in April 2021 and made about $225,000 in benefit, which they used to construct their new house on every other plot of land.
They moved into an condo whilst it used to be beneath building.
“There’s such a lot to unpack on this tale, and I believe our tale isn’t distinctive within the sense that persons are hurting,” Nick stated.

“The facility to repay the whole thing, transfer right into a camper, and actually be debt-free used to be maximum the releasing revel in that I believe any person can ever revel in,” Nick advised the New York Submit.
Whilst they’re luckily moved into their new fully-custom-built two-story house with an open porch, the couple isn’t last their doorways on flipping a house once more.

If we're going to be fighting fit mentally and physically, we need to make sties. When it comes to various stresses, we've got to rule out the major health problems that could override everything. Something like blood pressure is worth addressing. You can easily have a blood pressure online check to make sure that you are keeping healthy in this respect. When you're looking at your basic health, you have to remember that if there are specific problems, you have to rule out the basics first. If you're feeling under the weather all the time, are you sure you're not deficient in a vitamin or a mineral?
It's one of the go-to options for many students when they're trying to pull an all-nighter. But the big problem with caffeine is that it can have an adverse effect. It all depends on your tolerance to caffeine, but if you can use caffeine wisely by understanding your own limits but also supplementing it in a way that your body can handle, you will have more focus. You have to remember that with something like coffee, it can have peaks and troughs. If you fill up on a flask of coffee before you start studying, there could be that inevitable energy dip. Caffeine can help, but only when you are aware of how it affects you. There is no point in pounding three cans of an energy drink before doing anything because you won't be able to focus on your work! |

For me teaching is a process of enabling another person to make discoveries of:
1) her/his own vast physical, emotional, intellectual and creative capacities;
2) the infinite scope, depth and variety of the many “dialects” within the language of music;
3) the integral relationships of the art and science of music with the larger world as reflected in literature, graphic arts, history, science, philosophy, psychology, physiology, politics, ethics, religion, spirituality.
My objectives as a teacher are:
1) opening students’ minds to the wonder and infinite possibilities of musical expression and to their own capacities for experiencing and revealing that wonder;
2) helping students to cultivate the knowledge and artistic sensibilities to make their own musical discoveries and decisions as performers;
3) helping students to develop the courage to maintain an inquiring attitude as they continue to grow and mature throughout their lives;
4) encouraging students to hear and appreciate the work (live and recorded) of the greatest music makers (performers and composers) of many genres, past and present.
5) fostering respect for the process of learning and respect for all those who share the path, wherever they may be along that path
6) encouraging students to cultivate appropriate attitudes, knowledge and concepts to become effective teachers and mentors.
Permeating this entire process is the ongoing development of a deepening understanding of the music itself (the unquantifiable, ineffable aspects of musical sound, vitality, beauty and expressiveness), empowering the students to listen, experience and “connect” with music at a depth beyond the reach of words.
Teaching and performing are challenging intellectual, spiritual and creative endeavors. Through the continuing study and performance of music one can become more centered intellectually, physically and emotionally.
As a musician/teacher my own performance activities are essential to expanding my musical insights and skills, and for enabling my students to hear, observe and experience the concepts, sensibilities and disciplines which are such an integral part of their learning process.
My own personal and professional development have been and continue to be shaped by the infinity of positive influences that surround me, providing daily challenges and inspiration. |

Women of the World Unite — All We Have to Win is 22 Cents
This blog post is featured today at Workplacefairness.org
Today is Pay Equity Day. The National Committee on Pay Equity came up with the idea in the mid-1990s to acknowledge a day in April to remind us that it takes women a full year PLUS an extra four months of earning a salary (or a total of 16 months) to equal the amount male colleagues net in just one calendar year (12 months). That is what it means when you hear the statistic that women who work full time earn about 78 cents for every dollar men earn (Source:. Minority women are subject to a far greater wage gap.
Not mad yet? Those twenty-two cents add up. The Center for American Progress reports that women who work year-round earn less than men in comparable jobs and at all educational levels. The wage gap increases over a woman’s lifetime and adds up to $434,000 over a 40-year career for the typical woman. A woman with a bachelor’s degree or higher can lose more than $713,000 (Source: ”).
“Well,” you’re thinking, “that sounds pretty bad, but this is someone else’s problem; surely I am not being paid less than my male colleagues!” Think again. The statistics say otherwise. The gender wage gap is documented in all 50 states and is at a national average rate of 78 percent (Source: National Women’s Law Center’s calculations from the U.S. Census Bureau, August 2008). You do the math – chances are, if you are a woman in the workforce, it is highly likely that you are earning less than had you been a man.
In honor of Pay Equity Day, it is reasonable and even encouraged to express your well-earned outrage. There are a number of legislative efforts seeking to close the wage gaps between men and women, and minorities as well. A number of organizations’ web sites today will detail current and soon-to-be-introduced legislation to close loopholes, enhance provisions under the Equal Pay Act, ans. I encourage you watch one of the more amusing Equal Pay legislation videos out from the Center for American Progress. Check Out : EQUAL PAY: Batgirl vs Chamber of Commerce.
Fixing this issue legislatively is one important approach, but cannot be achieved exclusively in this manner. If you have any doubts, consider that it was President Kennedy who signed the Equal Pay Act into law more than forty-five years ago. If Kennedy’s challenge to land a man on the moon were as successful as the Equal Pay Act, Neil Armstrong’s ‘giant leap for mankind’ would have been referring to a cool telescope.
The same who fought against the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act which ret, are the same groups waging war against the Employee Free Choice Act – the bill that will give workers the freedom to choose a union to represent them. The more women unionize, the more they rightfully earn and the narrower the wage gap becomes.

en | N/A | N/A | My revelation came upon reading Friedrich Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom. It was that there is a cost to everything, that nothing is without cost, and that energy spent on A cannot be spent on B, and that this is the meaning of cost–it represents the renunciation of other employments of the money….[M]oney spent on more crossing guards cannot be spent on books. Both are necessary, a choice must be made, and…this is the Tragic view of life.
My question, then, was–the politicians and their manipulators? –.
Something tells me that David Mamet won’t be introducing Barack Obama at the president’s next Hollywood fundraiser.
I can’t wait to read this book, so many good books out right now to read! Thanks for the quick glimpse Peter, and I’ll look forward to you interview with Mr. Mamet! Cheers!
I am finding it strangely compulsive reading. Most pro-conservative advocacies I have come across have been either strident (e.g., Coulter) or analytic (e.g., von Mises). But Mamet is often ironic and elliptical–yet manages to be epigrammatic too. It’s prototypical right-wing content chanellled through a subtle left-wing sensibility–perhaps a literary novelty. For that reason, it’s also quite challenging and deep: I am expecting to read it again.
Another thing I liked about are his compact and telling parenthetical thought-experiments. For example, he notes that he has never met a professed egalitarian who picked a less fortunate person, pooled their respective wealth, and split it evenly. Just so.
It is interesting that Mamet describes this view as tragic. Most of us focus on the fact of our liberty in a positive way but if you once believed in man’s perfectibility and discovered that as a falsehood then it is a tragic view. Perhapsit is simply our fate to be fallen recognize that this is where our liberty comes from.
Mamet discovers in prose that will make the NYT best-seller list, what Thomas Sowell taught us decades ago in “Conflict of Visions.” The googly-eyes behind the rose colored glasses through which liberals see the world have nearly cost us our Republic because too many of us who knew better did nothing when “the 60’s” took over the schools, the courthouse, and the White House.
One of the great joys of listening to you as an interviewer is the way you have obviously done your homework before the interview: the topics are well rooted in the actual words or positions of the interviewee (chapter and verse cited), about which you then ask illuminating questions. I am very much looking forward to your conversation with Mamet.
By the way, have you ever considered (or tried) to get an interview with Tom Stoppard? I would love to hear that!
Excellent. Sober. Wise. Intelligent.
It’s slightly more complicated than that. The antifederalists made the man-is-wicked argument as a reason to not ratifya central government. The federalists made the man-is-wicked-but-has-sufficient-virtue argument to ratifysufficient power to deal with the problems that had become apparent at least to some under the Articles of Confederation.
Hang On: quite correct.
One of the reasons to appreciate Mamet’s book is that this sort of thing is fairly rare in the art and entertainment industries. We should be glad to welcome such a witty and personal testimonial from a justly-renown playwright.
Nevertheless and even stilltestimonial. What struck me from reading Mamet’s book is that it is part-memoir, part-confession, and part-apologia. On occasion he brings out an argument from Sowell or Hayek but for the most part it is about how his temperament shifted over time and the personal and professional consequences thereof.
Mamet did not write a book that will challenge liberals in the entertainment industry. He did write one that already committed conservatives can celebrate.
I bought Mamet’s and Breitbart’s book on Amazon together (Light and Heavy, both for the beach–if I ever get there).
I wasn’t familiar with Mr Mamet until I heard his 2 hour interview with Hugh Hewitt last week, which was outstanding – he speaks in mordant prose, also. I’m definitely gonna buy the book, and look forward to Peter’s interview.
I’m wondering if he’s read Miguel de Unamuno’s book Tragic Sense of Life orIn the latter, Niebuhr lays out the reasons why, for him, life is comic rather than tragic, because of his faith in Christ. Perhaps another way of getting at it is the message I once tore out of a fortune cookie: lI’ve heard Mamet interviewed by Rush, Hugh, Prager and Dennis Miller. This guy is very sweet and unassuming. I was so interested to see that he listens to talk radio and really knows these guys well. I could tell there was affection for the interviewers — which was reciprocated.
This is a major get. This is like removing a major section of the Berlin Wall.
I am just starting to read his book. It’s a very strange and disjointed style. Very short chapters, constant breaks along the way. You have to read the whole paragraph to understand what he is saying in the first sentence. It’s a layered type of writing that forces the mind to get a nugget at a time — and then he reviews each tidbit and assembles it into the main theme again later in the chapter. Brilliant but unlike any or other prose style I’ve encountered. I am being cajoled along, dropping into a mature and comfortable mindset that reflects his odd and idiosyncratic way of thinking.
Peter, I am looking forward to your interview.
Aodhan, I hate to disprove your assertion, since your broader point is spot-on, but: I am that professed egalitarian of which you speak.
It happened in 5th grade. I cooked up a crazy idea that I should merge my supply of marbles (one of the largest in the class) with that of two other boys who had very few. Somehow, I thought that we would all benefit from some magical synergy (although that word wasn’t in vogue yet); that the power of Big Marble would make us too big to fail. I promised an equal division of the final supply, so of course my two friends joined.
The problem is that none of the three of us were particularly good at beating others in marbles. (I had acquired my large supply by purchase, not conquest.) In the end, I lost, big. I learned that my “business model” was pure, romantic, left-wing hooey.
We just got Breitbart on UCK, and now Mamet? Bliss! I can’t wait. And I echo the comment of Robert Dammers about the preparation that is visible in every episode.
Mamet, in his somewhat dark view that nevertheless determines to go on with what may be the losing position in a world of “where’s mine?” democratic politics, reminds me of Whittaker Chambers’ pessimistic perspective of the war against communism. I hope that Mamet is as wrong as Chambers was.
Duane, keep in mind that one of the odd little consolations that comes with the Tragic View is the assurance that even those in our society who are the most selfish and venal will not fail to find ways to screw themselves over on a regular basis. (Think Rep. Weiner.) Cheer up! And enjoy the show.
I find it surprising (alrthough it shouldn’t be; it’s just that most of the media, and most politicians are just so…dim) that Mamet (or others) can be interviewed two, three five times by the Salem show guys, and UCK, and the interviews contain a minimum of repetition.
It boggles my mind that Uncommon Knowledge isn’t broadcast nationwide. Or even delivered on cable. It’s so friggin’ good.
It’s on RightNetwork, of course. But how much reach do they really have? Really?
Larry Koler:
I agree. Mamet’s style may be a result of his being a screenwriter or, maybe something else. Regardless, it is not a light read. I find myself taking it in small bites in order to thoroughly understand each paragraph. He puts more important, and sometimes intentionally disjointed, ideas in a paragraph than most writers put in a chapter.
Since you’re interviewing Mamet, please consider Chapter 3 of his “On Directing,” titled “Countercultural Architecture and Dramatic Structure.” It was based on some lectures in 1987 and led me to always assume him a conservative. In it he compares bad drama to the countercultural architecture he ran into as an undergraduate in New England in the 60’s. These architects, he says, built houses with flat roofs instead of the traditional slanted because of how they “felt,” because “they had something new to say.” But in the end the snow was too heavy and the roofs collapsed. His point was that drama, like architecture, was bound to begin with the recalcitrance of the real, and must therefore take with utmost seriousness everything earlier generations had discovered, including man’s tendency to self-deception.
Hitchens gets more right in that review than he gets wrong.
Robert Dammers:I just got Mamet’s (even though Christopher Hitchens, whom I admire even when I disagree with him completely, is decidedly unimpressed). |

Vice President Jorge Arreaza said the factory occupation, announced on Friday, was in order to “verify the production, distribution and sale of toilet paper” from the Manpa S.A. company, located in the central state of Aragua. The measure was ordered by President Maduro after “violations to consumer rights” were discovered upon an inspection of the factory last week.
Officials argue that these trends are largely due to an “economic war” being waged by economic and political sectors opposed to the government, which seek to disturb economic activity through acts of sabotage, hoarding products to create scarcity, and attacking the national currency.
Earlier this month the government created the High Commission for the People’s Defence of the Economy in order to combat the “economic war”. It is directed personally by President Maduro and incorporates ministers and grassroots activists Leave a comment Cancel reply |
en | N/A | N/A | Below is the continuation of last week's blog post, which can be read here. Read below as we lay out the final steps of Creating the Future with Custom Software.
Do Away With Repetitive Data Entry
If you or one of your employees is in the habit of routinely entering large amounts of data into a spreadsheet or database then you have a striking need for software development whether you realize it or not. Custom apps can do many things, perhaps none so important as automating the task of data entry.
Not only will using specialized software to collect data or integrate different tools together save you lots of time (or employee hours), but it can also greatly improve your accuracy. That’s because a stable app isn’t going to make mistakes, whereas a human would. Additionally, you can get access to more data than you had before if you’re collecting it in a way that doesn’t require your time.
Find Improvement at the Margins
If you like the idea of having more data with custom software, then you’ll love the possibilities that present themselves when you can take advantage of advanced reporting in real-time. This is one of the areas where our clients typically find they can make huge bottom-line improvements.
There are likely to be many different areas of your company where you could save a lot of money if you only had better information. Imagine what you could do with inventory, scheduling, pricing, and marketing if you always knew where your time and money was going, or which activities were generating the highest ROI. That’s an underrated component of having a software solution that’s designed specifically for your company.
Good business owners and executives are always asking themselves “what if?” With custom software, they don’t have to guess at the answers. That’s because they can analyze current data, past trends, and information that has been mined or purchased to make smarter decisions.
Planning ahead is all about envisioning certain outcomes and then making sure you can achieve them. However, things often seem “cloudy” when you’re dealing with an incomplete picture or several different unknowns. By using custom software you can help firm up plans and ideas even if you don’t know exactly what the future will hold.
Integrate New or Existing Technology
New technology is coming out all the time, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that your various apps and devices are going to play well together. Or, for that matter, that they are going to work with the hardware and software you have relied upon to run your business in the past.
What’s the point of spending money on servers, mobile devices, or new apps if they are going to create more headaches than they take away? Custom programming can be an important bridge that brings together existing technology, new products you want to invest in, and your business goals. It can help you get more from every dollar you spend while improving productivity and can even make your data more secure.
Want More Information Tailored to Your Situation?
You don’t have to guess or wonder how custom software development could help you run a sharper business. At WebRevelation, we offer all new prospective clients a free consultation. That’s your chance to get expert advice on exactly how an experienced programming team can save you money, along with what it will take to bring your project to life.

en | N/A | N/A | A hurricane or extra-tropical storm can bring the best of times or the worst of times for an Atlantic salmon. Or perhaps make little change at all.
This summer and autumn has seen near record droughts everywhere from New England's rivers to those of Newfoundland. Lately some of the rivers in Newfoundland have been filling up with generous rainstorms, but not the rest of the area.
Some of the rivers important to Atlantic salmon have significant flows and levels even in those times of droughts. But some Atlantic salmon populations are in rivers that have little water if the rainstorms of late summer and early fall do not materialize. Many of the Northumberland Strait rivers in Nova Scotia have Atlantic salmon that await the rains in order to make a dash from the ocean to spawning areas. These rivers often do not have the pools, underwater springs or lakes along the way where Atlantic can "stage" before continuing upstream. These Atlantic salmon are imprinted with the need to make the dash.
Same goes for many of the runs in the inner Bay of Fundy, and in a variety of other areas.
Teddy came along this week, and there was hope that it would be the deluge to fill the rivers.
No one wanted TOO much water - where the force of the current can carry heavy loads of silt that can partly clog gills and destroy pre-existing pools.
But Teddy seems to have been on the low side.
On the Northeast Margaree gauge the ultra-low .2 metre height only made it up to a .8 metre level before beginning to drop back.
Teddy failed to have any impact in Maine, where drought conditions remain critical. On the Restigouche and the Matapedia, Teddy had no real impact at all.
There were areas where Teddy did fill the rivers to overflowing.
Extra-tropical storm Teddy's path, crossing the Nova Scotia coast on the Eastern Shore, then northeast to Newfoundland
Kris Hunter, ASF Regional Director for Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island pulled together some observations from contacts across the path of the storm:
Prior to the arrival of Hurricane Teddy, many rivers were at historically low levels. Because of the low water, the fall salmon run had not yet gotten underway, despite many reports of salmon stacking up in the estuaries.
Salmon anglers from across the province were hoping that Teddy would bring significant rain to bring in those waiting fish and kick the fall fishing season into high gear.
As the storm abates it is looking like some anglers may get their wish. The storm tracked as predicted from where it made landfall on the Eastern Shore, over Antigonish, and up through the Northumberland Strait along the west coast of Cape Breton.

Rivers to the south and west of Teddy's storm track DID receive significant rain, but those along the track and to its east DID NOT seem to get as much.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the Middle Pictou had risen almost half a meter and the Sackville rose almost a metre, whereas the St. Mary’s, South Antigonish. The Northeast Margaree and the Cheticamp were slower to respond, but by Thurs. noon had come up more than a half metre.
For those looking to fish the Pictou rivers, the Waugh’s, the Wallace and River Phillip it is looking very promising for the weekend. It remains to be seen if the pulse of rain those other rivers received will be enough to draw fresh fish in.
The Margaree River may have cooled down, but the levels are still low.

New Inshore Small Research Vessel - called "Whaly Boat"
This new rigid-hull Whaly boat with its drop down bow will soon be put to work by the Nova Scotia Salmon Association off the province’s Eastern Shore to investigate how wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout are using coastal habitat.
The boat was purchased with support from the Pew Charitable Trusts who are supporting ASF’s goal of wild salmon recovery and fisheries restoration in the area.
NSSA biologist, Dr Edmund Halfyard, said the new boat and motor are going to be an invaluable asset going forward. It will be used for water quality sampling in the estuary, estuary habitat mapping, the various acoustic telemetry projects including receiver deployments, and for monitoring the results of the rocky reef habitat restoration. This work, which was partially delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, will be fully engaged with this important work. Timing of the acquisition was perfect for preparing working arrangements for gear use.
NSSA purchased this new research vessel with help of ASF and PEW Charitable Trusts.

Taylor Main reports on Hurricane Teddy's impact on PEI rivers:
Hurricane Teddy thankfully didn't bring the destruction we saw from Dorian roughly one year ago.
Unfortunately we did not see the rain either. Central regions of the province received around 55mm of rain which tapered off to 25-30mm near the ends.
Most of the rain came as a steady event on Tuesday but with no more in the long range forecast it looks like levels will continue to be low. We should start seeing our fall run of fish entering our rivers in early October.

Nathan Wilbur, ASF Regional Director for New Brunswick, adds:
Last week construction on the first coldwater enhancement site was completed at Wildcat Brook on the NW Miramichi River. The mouth of the brook was narrowed to increase water velocity from the brook into the river where salmon hold during warm water conditions. McKenzie Brook on the SW Miramichi near Blackville is the next site to be completed before month’s end.

Paul Elson has been out along several of the branches of the Northwest Miramichi recently, especially noting the occasional Atlantic salmon - and extreme low water:
Seeing the odd fish in the pools, but they are glued to the bottom with lockjaw.
Hurricane Teddy brought about 10mm of rain to the Northwest and Little Southwest Miramichi and didn’t get much of a raise, maybe an inch.
I have not seen any new fish entering the river at this point.
I’ve being trying everything to try and raise the fish off the bottom, including fishing #16-18s with no luck in the last two weeks.
I’m certainly not spending a lot of time on the water with these conditions - not like I normally would - and probably will not unless we get significant rain or start hearing of fish being hooked.

The Jacquet is a beautiful river in northern New Brunswick located north of the Nepisiguit and south of the Restigouche. It typically gets most of its salmon run in the fall after a big rain. The extremely low water this season explains the low numbers on the graph so far but we’re paying attention to what happens on the Jacquet after hurricane Teddy passes through this week.
The rains that come with Teddy will hopefully bring an excellent raise in water to the desperately low NB salmon rivers. There are a variety of smaller salmon rivers in northern NB that get the bulk of their salmon run in the fall and rely on these fall rains, such as the Bartibog, Tabusintac, Benjamin, and others lesser known but all beautiful.

Some Gaspé rivers have benefited from an influx of water from last week. Very low water conditions continue for many rivers but offset by decent angling results. Current forecast is predicting more rain a few days before the season ends on September 30th.
The data used for the Quebec river notes are sourced from various river websites, social media and Quebec government sources. Information can change without prior notification regarding prior year comparative figures.
La plupart des rivières demeurent en condition d’étiage, mais certaines rivières gaspésiennes ont bénéficié d’un « coup d'eau » la semaine dernière. Cependant, les pêcheurs sportifs bénéficient d’un bon succès de pêche et les prévisions météorologiques nous donne espoir d’une fin de saison offrant de meilleurs débits.
Les données utilisées dans ce rapport proviennent de divers sites web, des médias sociaux et de sources gouvernementales québécoises. Les informations peuvent changer sans avis au préalable en ce qui concerne les comparatifs des saisons précédentes.

Most rivers on the Island of Newfoundland closed to angling on Sept 7. The exceptions are the Humber, Gander, and Exploits Rivers, better known as the ‘Big Three’.
The lower sections of these three rivers remain open for a Fall Fishery until Oct 7.
In Labrador, all rivers officially closed to angling as of Sept. 15, and will remain closed until next season. Also, by now most fish counting facilities in the province have been closed for the season.
The latest DFO fishway counts, up to Sept 20th are available online at DFO’s web-site at:
Like most folks in NL, we were on edge for the past week or so wondering just how much rain Hurricane Teddy would drop on the province.
Now that the hurricane has passed through this region the short answer is that we received quite a lot. As a result, water levels rose sharply on most rivers throughout the province during this past week and in many cases reached extreme high levels.
The exception to the extreme high water were rivers in the western Newfoundland region. This region received far less rain and for the most part only reached medium to high levels.
The Big Three Rivers
The Humber River was spared much of the rain from the hurricane. As a result, the water levels on the Lower Humber River remain fairly good for angling, and the water temperature is cool, at approximately 13 C.
However, while the water level and temperature have remained good on the Lower Humber River the fishing has been rather slow during the past week.
Eric Crantford, who is an experience lower Humber angler, reports that he fished the river this past week and while there are still a few large fish around in this area they are difficult to entice to the fly. This could suggest that these are fish that have been in the river for a while and have seen a lot of flies drifting over them, since there was little evidence of any bright fish showing.
SCNL Board Member, Ken McLean fished the Gander River late last week and reports that the river was high at the time and still rising.
During his outing he only saw one salmon jump for the day. Ken believes that with all the high water at the time, a few fish were moving through the system but weren’t holding up.
Since Ken’s outing on the Gander last week, water levels on this river continued to rise sharply and are now at an extremely high level, running at about 160 cubic meters per second. Since the Gander River does not usually drop quickly the high water levels currently being experienced will likely persist for the next week or so making for very poor fishing up to the end of the season.
Not exactly what fishermen like Ken McLean and other anglers who participate in the annual fall fishery on the Gander were hoping for. But most seasoned angles have learned to take the bad with the good.
On the Exploits River, water levels rose a little during the past week but overall remain fairly stable on the lower section since water flows on this river are controlled upriver for hydro purposes and are released slowly. Reports indicate that there are still a few fish around but generally the fishing as been spotty during the past week.

ASF field personnel have been assisting DMR electrofishing in the Sheepscot watershed.
Water levels have still been extremely low however the biologists are still documenting high presence of young of the year and parr from wild spawning. Jen has also noted new suitable gravel downstream of the Coopers Mills Dam Removal site, continual benefits from that project emerging.
The stretch of river where the Coopers Mills Dam once was a barrier. The stretch of river has rapidly returned to a natural state and migratory fish can now ascend to spawning areas.
Jason Valliere, DMR Biologist, notes:
No new fish since the last update.
Current Atlantic salmon estimate is 1,453. This includes 604 male and 632 female large salmon, and 217 grilse. 221 fish (190 MSW and 31 Grilse) have been sent to the hatchery for broodstock.
Temperature in the river has dropped to 13.7C (57F) at mid-week.
Counts have not been adjusted for in-season recaptures based on PIT tag, radio tag, or other factors. Counts will be adjusted as data become available. Next update will be in 2 weeks.

It does indeed sound very much like Bill The Galactic Hero
As a reward he is sent to the city-planet Helior to receive a medal from the emperor (who in fact is not the Emperor, but an actor - the real emperor is too busy).When Bill first sees Helior he is stunned, saying "Can you imagine a whole planet covered with gold?" to which his companion replies "No, but I can imagine one made of anodised aluminium - like this one".
Bill's city plan is stolen on a sightseeing tour; because it takes him days to get back to the transit centre, he arrives to find himself AWOL and considered a deserter after missing his transport. He escapes and flees into the depths of the city, where he first falls in with a gang of similarly "deplanned" outlaws, then finds employment with Helior's garbage disposal service. His unwilling recruitment as a spy to infiltrate an ineptly-run anarchist plot leads to his arrest. – Zachary Apr 12 '18 at 20:40

He was known to kickstart projects by funding them from his own pocket. Hundreds of people have been beneficiaries of his personal generosity when they have been in need.
Garth was an incredibly principled person who Bennie Roman (1958-2018) one of the first Namibian community leaders to embrace conservation after independence and a close friend to Garth, once said about him: “Garth was somebody that inspired me… It didn’t matter that he was a white outsider. He was like a father figure. He taught me to listen because he was a person who would listen patiently. He came from ‘that’ background and I learnt that not all white people have the same mentality.”nservancy system. © Gail C. Potgieter.

He often saw potential in people that went beyond their mistakes and obvious flaws, and gave them opportunities to restore their honor and dignity.

Free Your Mind: Running To Improve Mental Health
As an exercise, running is effective not just in conditioning the person’s physique but also in increasing awareness, focus, and overall function. A body that is in a state of fatigue experiences interrupted interaction between the systems. This is why people who are stressed or are dealing with mental health issues are also suffering from slow metabolism, breathing problems, and heart ailments. Doing a physical activity that follows a rhythm such as running can restore the seamless interaction among the different parts of the body. When the rhythm is restored, a person can sleep well, eat properly, perform cognitive and physical tasks faster, and interact with others better.

Uniform Rapid Suspension, also known as URS, and Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution, or UDRP, may be filed when a brand is being threatened. Company owners should have people dedicated to learning about these complaints for when the worst happens. For example, when brand infringement happens, brand owners can file a URS on the people behind it, or on the domain itself. URS has the power to shut down a website. UDRPs are for more serious offenses, and often include court hearings.

Most Mondays when wheels.ca posts this column – I write it and email it in Sunday night – and there’s been a Formula One race, I usually find something to complain about.
The race was dull; the stewards are stupid; Mercedes is killing interest by winning all the time. And so-on. If all else fails, there is always scandal. As my friend Gerald Donaldson says, F1 is “the world’s fastest soap opera.”
But not this Monday. There was a Grand Prix this weekend that was just about perfect. The U.S. Grand Prix., and it had everything.
By that, I mean it was a great race featuring excitement and drama. There was an enormous crowd. There was plenty of good ol’ American pizzazz, featuring the University of Texas Longhorns marching band and the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. There was breakout recording artist Joshua Ray Walker doing the U.S. national anthem. All that was missing was Michael Buffer letting loose with his “Are you ready to RUUUMMMBBBBLE” trademark combat introduction.
I am not a fan of Martin Brundle, but the snobs who ignored him during his walkthrough should all be made to apologize to him. Somebody tell Serena Williams she’s a has-been. And that rapper, who actually was charming, had a bodyguard who should be arrested for threatening. You know, the one with the green hair. That guy.
The race itself was far from a parade. Max miscalculated his start, figuring he would have a pretty clear run from pole into the first corner, and had to run in second place for much of the race. Toronto driver Nicholas Latifi, starting 13th in his Willams, encountered a backup at that first corner and went high around the outside, only to find fellow Canadian Lance Stroll from Montreal bogged down in his Aston Martin. WHAM! Both were able to continue, although Latifi had to stop for a new nose. But both finished well back in the results.
Max made his second pit stop – it was blisteringly hot, underneath the Texas sun, making it hard on the rubber – three laps in advance of Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion. This gave the Sky announcing crew the rest of the race to debate whether Max had stopped too early and then to count down the tenths as Hamilton ran down the leader.
It’s funny how, in life and sport, things frequently don’t happen the way they’re supposed to. According to Sky, Hamilton would catch Verstappen with two laps to go, pull within a second on the last lap, which would give him DRS, and he would then fly by to win the race at the checkers.
But hold on: here’s Mitch Schumacher (and where did he come from)? He took his time getting out of the way and, when he finally did, he’d mucked things up for at least half a lap. And then, (yes, I am repeating “and then”) when he let Max past, that gave Max DRS, which was the little bit of an advantage he needed to keep Lewis at Bay.
F1 Notes (a few, anyway): It was Red Bull Racing’s 200th podium in the big league. Max’s teammate, Sergio (Checo) Perez finished third.
Was everyone in F1 on their best behaviour? F1 is making big strides in the United States and its almost as if F1 organizers read the riot act in advance that if anyone stepped out of line they’d be in big trouble. I mean, can you hear the hoots of derision from one coast to the other and north to the Canadian border if the stewards somehow got involved? F1 has probably taken over, or is taking over, from IndyCar so far as popularity is concerned and their growth will come from NASCAR so the stewards will just have to keep their noses out of things whenever F1 is in Austin or, as of 2022, Miami.
The race day crowd was estimated at 140,000. If F1 goes to Indy, they will attract 200,000. Something to think about.
Danica Patrick did a good job pontificating – better than she’s done at either Indianapolis or Daytona since she retired . . . .
This is how you can tell Formula One is catching on in the States. Not since the days of Watkins Glen has anybody seen as big a crowd as was at Austin. The first time I was there, in 2017, the grandstands opposite the Paddock Club, where I was forced to spend the weekend, were just about empty during qualifying. Not this year; they were jammed. And you couldn’t move in the place on Sunday this year. In fact, the roomiest place at Circuit of the Americas was the paddock itself . . . .
The league now will go to Mexico for the next race and Max now holds a 12-point cushion. After Mexico, there will be four races remaining but if Brazil is cancelled because of COVID, that will leave three. One will be the new race in Saudi Arabia. Will any of the drivers have the guts to refuse to race there? How can they hold their “We Race as One” ceremony in Saudi Arabia, where they don’t just throw political prisoners in jail, they skin them alive?
Et tu, Lewis?
Kyle Larson won the NASCAR Cup race at Kansas Sunday, with Chase Elliott second. Click here for a full report
Kyle Larson Wins NASCAR Playoff Race at Kansas (yahoo.com)
Ty Gibbs pulled a Mario Andretti Saturday. He won the Xfinity Series race at Kansas Saturday afternoon (Austin Cindric finished second and A.J. Allmendinger was third) and then he won the 2021 ARCA Menards Series championship by taking the green flag for that evening’s Reese’s 150. Mario, of course, is famous for winning three races in a day: he won a feature early in the afternoon that had been interrupted by rain previously, then he won that afternoon’s feature and then towed to another track where he won the feature that night. He was racing midgets at the time . . . .
In an interview Thursday with Canadian reporters, Latifi said he and George Russell continued to be supportive teammates despite George being promoted to the Mercedes A-team, where he will partner Hamilton. I’m not so sure. Supportive teammates help each other. Russell, because he changed his engine, would start at the back of the pack no matter where he qualified. Latifi was hard-pressed, as the clock wound down, to move on to Q2. A supportive teammate would say, “I’m not going anywhere, so why don’t I give Nick a hand? Why don’t we go out for one last run and I’ll give him a tow?” But he didn’t and Nik didn’t get past Q1 . . . .
They held a 250-lap, 100-car enduro Saturday at Flamboro Speedway (see photo, above). Many of the cars were not properly equipped (in my view), which made things insanely dangerous. I hate to centre-out Flamboro, because just about all Ontario speedways are guilty of doing this at one time or another. Motor racing is dangerous, but it shouldn’t be more dangerous than it already is. Dylan Sharpe won the Enduro, followed by Nic Ramsay and Jo Lawrence. Blair Meiklejohn won the Demolition Derby. . . . .
They held the Indy Autonomou Saturday and TUM Autonomous Motorsport (a consortium of European universities) won $1 million. Several University of Waterloo students who teamed up with some U.S. universities could only watch as their computerized car turned left early and destroyed itself against the inside retaining wall. This reminds me of my friend Gary Morton and the first time he drove a super-modified at Oswego Speedway. He drove out of Turn 4 into a glaring sun and couldn’t see a thing. Thinking he must be at the first turn and that he should turn left before he went into the first-turn wall, he cranked ‘er left about 25 yards early and ka-boom! The car was destroyed; Gary lived to crash again . . . .
The Rallye de Charlevoix, a round of the 2021 Canadian Rally Championship, was held at the weekend and won by Marc-Andre Brisebois and Marie-France Desmerais-Trepanier in a Subaru WRX STI. This was the fourth event counting toward the national championship. The next will be held in Ontario Nov. 19 and 20 at the Rally of the Tall Pines. The championship will conclude early in December in British Columbia . . . .
The Eastern Canadian Rally Championship, which ran at the weekend as part of the Rallye de Charlevoix, was won by Jerome Mailloux and Philippe Poirier. They also will run with the nationally registered cars at the Tall Pines rally Nov. 20.

"To me, one aspect that would make me not want to live in dorms again could be the expense, especially at TWU. Another aspect would be that there is less privacy. And so, even though I live pretty close to campus, I still chose to move into dorms because it has allowed me to get the full university experience."
When I asked my UBC source about their thoughts about living on campus, I was given an answer that is becoming more and more familiar: "I decided to dorm because to commute to school was too time consuming and I wanted to get more involved in school life in my first year. The prices are …steep for housing and food. I [also] lack the emotional support from my family [that I would have at home]. It is more convenient to live in [residence] since it's a two-hour commute to my house."
Here at UFV there is in fact a community that needs to be advertised more. Numerous clubs are small and unknown. I have been going to events for multiple UFV clubs and associations in the past few weeks. I am convinced that living on campus is where I need to be next fall semester. But what would it take for you to join the UFV residential community?Is it true that the cost is actually what keeps people away?
Housing at UFV will require more development and will hopefully see a future influx in comparison to the recent influx of commuters. UFV has proven they care and are listening; it's our time to answer them. How will you answer? |

I would have swapped Neo Geo out for the 3DO instead.
The 3DO was in my mind when I wrote entry #4… it just got crowded out by all the other ill-advised CD-based console
Nintendo 64 was actually a damn good console it gave us mario 64, super castelvania 4 and ocarina of time and since it is a recent post i dont see what trouble you could have with modern consoles i mean, they fixed the RROD
I loved my Atari Lynx – dead but not forgotten
And ofcourse #1 for the top 10 consoles way ahead of the pack would be turbografx 16 that proudly still holds the record as smallest console ever more then 20 years after its release and also offering there CD upgrade kit which made it as good or better then the Wii and some would say the Xbox 360 graphics wise.
P.S.

Months of earth moving, pile driving and concrete pouring may bring back memories for people in Teignmouth of the time when a major new road was built through the heart of their town in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
When the nation discovered the delights of English seaside holidays in the 1960s, the old pre-war roads of Teignmouth could not cope and became jammed with cars.
Across the county Devon County Council's highways department began a programme of bypasses taking traffic out of the high streets.

en | N/A | N/A | Most of the results we expected from the financial markets materialized in the second quarter. The backdrop was conducive to further stock market gains, particularly for the more cyclical sectors, while fixed income securities were able to navigate the headwinds and avoid detracting from the overall performance. Emerging markets fell short of our expectations, however. Even though the economic environment pointed to a strong rebound, their performance still lagged that of the developed countries.
As expected, inflation continued to fuel discussion, whether among savvy economists or ordinary people. Even so, during the second quarter the yield curve barely budged in the face of this threat and the bond markets emerged unscathed. This matter is open to debate, and in these pages we will try to shed light on it.
In a context where economic and epidemiological results are surprisingly positive and a number of stock markets periodically set new records, it is important that as investors we temper our enthusiasm and maintain an overview. We will therefore also look at the indicators to watch as well as portfolio positioning for the coming quarters.
*There was an error in the previous financial letter. The change in the price of oil for the first quarter of 2021 (column Q1-2021) should have been 22.4% and not 47.8% as indicated. Our apologies.
Three months ago, our opinion on the transitory nature of inflation was cause for moderate optimism about bond yields. Observed dnflation remained low and the lifting of lockdown measures would gradually alleviate the pressure on specific sectors. Even so, some skeptics will argue that since the last quarter inflation has begun a convincing upward trend that goes well beyond the central banks’ targets. So why has the bond market reacted so little? .
The answer is relatively simple: the increase observed so far is due largely to a base effect1 rather than a genuine trend. To verify this matter, we can measure the annual variation and compare it to the pre-pandemic level by annualizing the change over 24 months. The following table shows that adjusted inflation is well below the published figures and still below the target.
Performing the same exercise for the U.S. economy leads us to the same conclusion: the base effect amplifies the variation, and the adjusted metric remains below the Federal Reserve’s new target, namely an average that compensates for declines below the 2% level.
In this way, we can see why fixed income has not suffered from the alarmist headlines about the CPI and instead has benefited from an environment that tends to maintain current yields.
Despite all the words of caution about an inflationary spiral, the fact remains that the economic situation is favourable to rising interest rates in the coming quarters. And we must bear in mind that interest rates also reflect real economic growth and that the IMF forecasts that we will see the strongest two consecutive years of expansion in 20 years on a global basis. That being said, even though the probable direction of rates seems to be known, what matters above all is the speed at which they move up. To avoid stifling the current recovery, central bankers will have to manoeuvre carefully and above all clearly communicate their intentions.
Thus, the next quarter may well resemble the one we have just experienced, with a gradual and controlled flattening of the yield curve and conditions that maintain credit spreads. In this context, the bond market should provide modest but positive returns as well as assurance that fixed income can preserve capital in the event of an unexpected correction.
The cyclical recovery continued in the second quarter, propelling the markets to new highs. Even though returns were positive across all regions,enjoyed a distinct advantage.
This observation coincides with the vaccination statistics, which pointed up disparities in terms of access to vaccines, the ability to deploy an effective campaign and the population’s willingness to take part.
In line with our expectations, the accelerating global recovery smiled on Canada’s resource-based economy. As a result, the energy sector once again found itself among the main contributors to performance. In a signay, the ecommerce platform Shopify regained its status as the Canadian stock with the largest capitalization, recording a return that made the information technology sector the leading contributor in the second quarter of the year.mained number one in our universe2 with an 8.6% return during the period.
The good news for the Canadian market is that the economic recovery will continue for several quarters. In addition, progress with the vaccination campaign suggests a full and safe reopening in the coming months. Even so, two headwinds have just appeared: the market’s valuation, which has become less attractive, and, what is even more important, . It would therefore not be surprising to see China’s appetite for resources moderate and undermine future results. In short, the outlook for the domestic market is still positive but less so than at the start of the year.
Given the unparalleled support measures, the likelihood that the U.S. market will disappoint investors is very low. Unsurprisingly, it ranked first in terms of returns in local currency. That being said, caused the loonie to strengthen and slightly reduced the result in Canadian dollars.
From a sectoral point of view, continuing low interest rates stimulated real estate, which found itself the top contributor. Just behind ilso reminded us that growth stemmed from the means of operation adopted collectively over the past 12 months.
Illustrating the extent of the U.S. economy’s momentum, only utilities experienced a decline from the previous period, while all the other sectors made a positive contribution. In the second quarter, this market returned 7.3% (in C$), as measured by the MSCI USA Index.
The U.S. atypical nature of the contraction we experienced briefly last year and the measures taken in response have blurreds. As a result, the Fed currently has to manage a dynamic involving a higher number of unemployed workers than before the pandemic but also more unfilled positions.
As the following table shows, even though surveys of U.S. households indicate a sharp increase in the ease of finding a job, this situation has not lowered the unemployment rate.
The so-called shortage of workers is due to a number of temporary factors, but in the meantime this situation makes the interpretation of monetary policy more complex. In principle, it is logical to think that once the extension of COVID-related unemployment benefits expires and herd immunity is achieved, employment growth will accelerate with no sign of labour shortages. The coming months could bring a very favourable environment with sustained employment growth amid little inflationary pressure. We therefore have reason to remain optimistic about the U.S. market.
For global equities, the second quarter brought mixed results, depending on the region. Europe did not disappoint, delivering a solid performance across almost all sectors. As with the U.S. market, only the utilities sector ended in the red. Then came emerging markets, which fell short of expectations despite their exposure to resources. Limited access to vaccines in the poorer countries combined with the emergence of a new variant delayed the reopening of some economies. Finaly, the Asian market disappointed the most, mainly because it was very much affected by the situation cited above, especially in India, but also by the Chinese central bank’s preventive tightening of credit conditions.
As a result, the MSCI Europe Index closed the quarter with a 6.1% return in Canadian currency, while3.5% and 1.1%, respectively.
An upturn in emerging markets and Asia requires better deployment of vaccines in these regions. most recent G7 meeting, held in the United Kingdom. China’s tightening has paid off, and signs of slowing have appeared. Despite this headwind, growth is expected to remain above its potential, and the Chinese authorities will certainly not seek to stifle it unduly. We can therefore hope that in the coming months Asian and emerging stocks will catch up in terms of their valuation.
The coming months point to several small risks that should, at worst, slow the recovery rather than derail it. The first is the lofty valuation of some markets, which are at historic highs. That being said, this aspect must be seen in a context where we are expected to experience unparalleled global growth until 2022. Then there is the new Delta variant (and possibly others, such as Lambda), which could continue to spread. Even though the latest studies tend to show that the vaccines are effective against this variant, statistics in the United Kingdom still indicate rising cases, even though a high percentage of people have been vaccinated.
Still, it is reassuring is that this increase in the number of cases comes with far fewer hospitalizations.
There is also a risk, albeit unlikely, that the U.S. Federal Reserve will panic in the face of inflation and tighten monetary conditions too fast. In short, it is difficult to identify any one factor that has a high probability of occurring with an impact strong enough to interrupt the stock markets’ bullish trajectory.
So far this year, the financial markets have met investors’ high expectations in several respects. The conditions for a continuing recovery require that we have the ability to shift gears smoothly and make the necessary adjustments to our investments with a view to the future.
At this point, the stock markets that have seen strong gains have less attractive valuations, but the outlook remains positive. In the United States, recent indications of tightening by the Fed surprised the markets briefly; that being said, the central bank’s actions will remain conducive to further strong growth and will avoid a stock market correction.
China’s slowdown will reduce the demand for commodities, which should hurt margins in Canada as well as in emerging markets but not prevent all stock markets from continuing to advance. We must keep in mind that monetary conditions will continue to be very accommodative and that the savings accumulated during the lockdown should logically be deployed.
The bond market will continue to come under pressure, probably because of rising real rates rather than persistent inflation. Corporate bond risk premiums should remain at current levels and partially offset the low yield on government securities. Finally, it might make sense at this stage to favour cyclical securities in a selective fashion within consumer discretionary. The hotel, restaurant and transportation subsectors will benefit from the final phase of a return to normality.
Have an enjoyable summer as the economy reopens!

en | N/A | N/A | Auth Icle December 14, 2013 How To Motivate Yourself For Work2014-03-03T15:32:39+00:00 Life No Comment
How to motivate yourself for work? It may sound complicated since you are here to find out what the possible answers could be. If you knew it how you would not be here I believe. Which of us really likes to work? Or let’s say who is in love with their work? The truth is nobody! Business owners don’t count.
Or let me be clearer. If you won the mega millions in last night drawings which was almost 400 million and as of now its 425 would you still love your work? Would you still get up at 7 in Sunday morning to go to work? The answer is no! No matter how hard you say yes, I will not take any other answers in this case. Because those people who say that they would still work after they win the lottery is the people type who always cheats themselves and public. First of all I would like to clarify something: This post will not be about daydreaming about being millionaire. I just needed to use the being rich part to expand the topic and find possible answers about how to motivate yourself for work.
Now let’s go deeper. You woke up for the day and guess what you don’t want to work. No worries you are not only one who feels in that way. So just calm down and take a deep breath. But while you are doing it make sure you are moving, otherwise you will be late for work. First thing first please go check your wallet and bank account to see that you are not the winner of last night’s lottery. So that will help you to wash your face and put some hot water for tea for breakfast. Since we are not the winner that means no matter what, we need to work for quality life! When I say quality life I didn’t mean timeshares, Lamborghini’s or expensive jewelries. The meaning of quality life would be paying your rent, paying your bills, putting food on the table and waiting for the next paycheck for the same circulation. Yes it’s as simple as that. Don’t expect so much from the description of quality life. As long as you are able to live another month it means you have a quality life, because you didn’t need governments help or you were not a burden to your friends, families or partners.
Now let’s see what would be answers for the question of “how to motivate yourself for work”
1- You should be appreciative for being able to open your eyes for another day.
2- You should be happy that you were just able to get up and get out of the bed without needing anyone’s help
3- You should be lucky that you do have a job that you can go and work.
4- You should be understanding the mechanism of the world that in order to survive you need to be working
5- You should be hopeful that if you don’t die for the day 8-9 hours later you will be coming home richer than how you left your house in the morning
6- You should be proud of yourself that you do have a house/apartment that you are able to pay and come back over and over again.
Check and see if the list above is applying to you, if yes you are already motivated.
Those are the simple facts of the life that most of us are ignoring or not being able to appreciate that how simple and easy they are. I hope this simple list would help to motivate yourself for everyday life. Take it easy guys.
for, how, motivate, work, yourself

Allan Detrich, an award winning Blade photographer, resigned from the staff April 7 after admitting he digitally altered the content of a photograph that was published on The Blade's front page.
The incident was reported in this newspaper and in the national media and in online journalism publications. since January dozens of digitally altered photographs of his were published either in the newspaper or on our Web site.
The answer is simple: It is dishonest.
We d.
The matter was brought to my attention on April 4 by Donald R. Winslow, editor of News Photographer, a Winslow said that on April 2, photographers from the Dayton Daily News were comparing how various Ohio newspapers covered the Bluffton baseball game. Each paper had its own similar Bluffton picture. But The Blade's picture was the only one with the mysterious blue-jean clad legs missing.
After establishing that the photograph was altered, The Blade immediately started its investigation. We published a correction and an apology to our readers on April 6.
When q. .

Twenty-seven of the altered photographs were published both in the newspaper and on toledoblade.com, and an additional 31 were published only on toledoblade.com. Another 21 altered photographs submitted by Mr. Detrich were not published.

The Blade is removing all of Mr. Detrich's photographs from toledoblade.com and blocked access to any of his photographs in the newspaper's archive. Like many other newspapers, The Blade shares its work with the Associated Press, an international news cooperative. On April 6, the AP removed all 50 of Mr. Detrich's photographs from its archives.
When a Blade reporter or photographer covers a news event, the newspaper and its readers expect an accurate record of the event.
Reporters and editors are not allowed to change quotes or alter events to make them more dramatic. Photographers and photo editors cannot digitally alter the content in the frame of a photograph to make the image more powerful or artistic.
This principle is widely recognized. In 1991, at the dawn of the digital age, the National Press Photographers Association adopted a "Digital Manipulation Code of Ethics," which all members are required to sign.
That lengthy code makes it very clear that altering the editorial content of a picture is a breach of ethical standards. All Blade photographers are members of the association. All of them have signed the code of ethics, and The Blade follows this code.
This newspaper has a terrific staff of professional journalists. They work hard to bring you the truth in scommunity, every day of the year. It is especially dismaying to have something like this happen that may cast doubt on our work.

en | N/A | N/A | Life With Interest Because the arrogance that concept “Don’t like it? Stop complaining and fix it” carries is mind-boggling.
I’ve gotten a lot of shit changed or helped move it along without having any of the skills to actually fix it. But complaining? I’m good at that shit.
I’ve gotten security holes patched. By complaining.
I’ve helped fix a company’s installers, alleviating low-level pain for millions of people year after year. By complaining.
What do you think BLM is doing, at its heart? Complaining.
What do you think a strike for better working conditions is? Or a boycott of a company doing bad things? Or a demonstration?
Complaining, far from the useless cynical exercise that the people in power want us to think of it as, is actually quite powerful in and of itself.
One person says “Enough of this. This shit is fucked up, and it’s fucked up whether or not *I* personally can or will fix it”. The ability of the person complaining to fix it, or even their motivation to do so does not delegitimize the problem.
But I do know what “don’t like it, stop complaining and fix it” does do. It allows people, like you, to ignore the problem because after all, if that person griping about it really cared, if it was a real problem, they’d get off their asses and fix it. All the while pretending that in reality, the first step of fixing any problem is recognizing that a thing is a problem in the first place.
Maybe one should stop dismissing complaining.
