Reserve Bank's '$20 billion' decision on bank capital may flow through to mortgage rates
By: Gman
The Reserve Bank is expected to ask the big four Australian-owned banks to pour billions of dollars more of their own money into their businesses on Thursday.
The amount of extra capital ASB, ANZ, BNZ and Westpac and smaller banks will need to find, or transfer from Australia, could be as high as $20b over five years.
That is based on previous consultation documents published by the Reserve Bank.
The Reserve Bank is expected to largely stick to its guns for a big capital increase in its final ruling, but perhaps with some comprise.
The changes will be designed to make it less likely a bank will fall over in a future financial crisis.
But there is likely to be some short-term pain in the form of higher interest rates on loans, which means less lending, and/or lower interest on savings such as term deposits.

Silicon Valley giants accused of avoiding over $100 billion in taxes over the last decade
By: malterwitty
Six of Silicon Valley's biggest companies had a combined "tax gap" of more than $100 billion this decade, according to a new analysis.
Fair Tax Mark, a British organization that certifies businesses for good tax conduct, assessed global tax payments from Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google and Microsoft between 2010 and 2019. The companies are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Silicon Six."
The research, published Monday, analyzed their 10-K filings, which are financial forms submitted by businesses to the U.S. government.
It looked at tax provisions — the amount companies set aside in their financial reports to pay taxes — and compared those to the amounts that were actually handed over to the government, referred to as cash taxes. Over the decade, the gap between the Silicon Six's provisions and the taxes they actually paid reached $100.2 billion, researchers found.

'Dangerous': UK's six richest people have as much wealth as poorest 13m, study shows, prompting outrage online
The study, conducted by the Equality Trust, reveals that the nation's six billionaires who sit at the top of the wealth league have hoarded a combined fortune of £39.4 billion which is equal to the assets of around 13.2 million people in the UK.
Dr Wanda Wyporska, the executive director of the Equality Trust claimed the report should "shock anyone who cares about the state of the UK," and that such a huge gap between the very rich and the rest of the country is "dangerous."

Iran's Barter Trade Deals with China, By-Passing the US-Dollar, "Dedollarizing" Her Economy
According to a PressTV Report of 24 November, 2019, Iran and China are working on a trade or barter deal that would circumvent US sanctions. It would bypass US-dollar denominated transactions, exchanging Iranian oil for Chinese goods and services and investments. The head of the Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (TCCIMA), Masoud Khansari told Teheran's Tasnim news agency, on 19 November 2019 that "The mechanism, aiming to increase economic exchanges between Iran and China, is in the process of being finalized and implemented." He meant indeed, a barter deal between the two countries, avoiding a monetary exchange, is being worked out.

Heavy Gunfire Erupts as DR Congo's Anti-UN Protests Continue
COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS/PROPAGANDA
TEHRAN (FNA)- Gunfire rang out in the DR Congo town of Beni on Monday as protesters demanding the United Nations' withdrawal from the city again marched towards the UN headquarters.
Security forces blocked hundreds of demonstrators attempting to get close to the UN compound housed inside the airport near Beni, one of two UN bases in the area, Al-Jazeera reported.
"We still have heavy gunfire here and local sources are confirming the deaths of two people, including a young boy and a woman," said Al-Jazeera's Alain Uaykani, reporting from Beni, quoting officials from the hospital where the bodies were taken.
"They are saying they don't feel safe and the UN has to leave. They say they will not stop protesting until the UN leaves this area," Uaykani added.
Anger erupted last week over the perceived failure of UN peacekeepers to protect civilians from deadly rebel attacks with several mass demonstrations targeting UN facilities in Northeastern f(DRC).
Webmaster's Commentary:
IF the UN peacekeepers are unable to keep the peace, why are they there?!?
IF we take a look at DNC's natural resources, we will get information on why it is such a prize, and worth much blood and money, to those who could control it:

Tehran Wants to Sue US $130bln for Civil Unrest in Iran - Court Authorities
Protests erupted in several of Iran's provinces in November, following the government's decision to increase the price of gasoline, with some of the rallies turning violent.
Tehran wants to sue the US for $130bln for civil unrest in the country, according to Iranian judicial spokesman Golyamkhosein Esmaily.
Golyamkhosein Esmaily said that the lawsuits and complaints were filed by Iranian citizens who directly suffered damage from "US actions."
"To date, more than 360 cases and claims of citizens against the US government have been considered," Esmaily said, noting that one court had demanded $130 billion from the United States.
Frankly, I would not hold my breath, were I an Iranian solicitor, about collecting on such claims.
Data on your spending habits could be a gold mine for banks
NEW YORK - There's a powerful new player watching what you buy so it can tailor product offerings for you: the bank behind your credit or debit card.
For years, Google and Facebook have been showing ads based on your online behavior. Retailers from Amazon to Walgreens also regularly suction up your transaction history to steer future spending and hold your loyalty.
Now banks, too, want to turn data they already have on your spending habits into extra revenue by identifying likely customers for retailers. Banks are increasingly aware that they could be sitting on a gold mine of information that can be used to predict — or sway — where you spend. Historically, such data has been used mostly for fraud protection.
IF there are no privacy laws on the books, nationally, against this, there should be.
I know, for example, if I look at a website which features some items I might buy in the future, those ads start appearing in other blogs in a very invasive way, disruptive way, which I dislike intensely.
North Korea warns US will choose its 'Christmas gift' if Trump fails to meet looming nuclear deadline
The North Korean foreign ministry said on Tuesday that Washington would decide what "Christmas gift" it would receive if the United States fails to change its "hostile policies" on denuclearization before the end of the year, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
North Korea has been ramping up missile tests and other military demonstrations in recent months in an apparent pressure tactic over the talks. Negotiations have faltered since a February summit between Kim Jong-un and Trump in Vietnam which broke down after the U.S. rejected North Korean demands for broad sanctions relief in exchange for a partial surrender of its nuclear capabilities.
Kim later issued his end-of-year deadline and has also said the North would seek a "new path" if the U.S. persists with sanctions and pressure. Working-level talks last month in Sweden broke down over what the North Koreans described as the Americans' "old stance and attitude.
The problem here is, zero "quid pro quo", which translates as "Let me give a little, then you give a little, toward creating a win/win situation."
But none of that has been displayed by those in the bowels of power in DC, and the never-ending, clanging leitmotif of "Give us everything we want now, and perhaps, MAYBE, down the road, we will do something you would like us to do!!", is what the US government characterizes as "good faith negotiations."
That complete absence of "quid pro quo" in the US's dealings with North Korea, unfortunately, has brought us to this very nasty, and potentially militarily, volatile chapter in US/North Korean relations.
The War against Syria: In the Name of the Father the Son, the Holy Spirit … and the Truth.
So,why is the Truth not known and accepted by broad-based Western populations?
Renowned author Michel Collon demonstrates the characteristics of war propaganda that deny us the right to know.
First, the real interests that push for war must be hidden. Privileged access to and control of resources, including oil pipelines, must not be mentioned.
Second, history must be erased. People musn't be aware of the longstanding imperial efforts to divide, weaken, and colonize Syria. They must not know that the war on Syria was planned well in advance by imperial powers.
Third, the leader of the country must be demonized. People must never know that elected President Assad has always been popular, even according to a NATO poll,(2) and that the invading terrorists were never accepted nor welcomed by the vast majority of Syrians.
Gorbachev warns of 'hot war' between US, Russia
RUSSIA/UKRAINE
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev warned in a new interview that tensions between the U.S. and Russia could lead to a "hot war" between the two nations.
Asked whether the tensions threatened to lead to a new era akin to the Cold War, Gorbachev told CNN, "I think this should be avoided."
"It's good that already all over the world there is a conversation and people are talking, people are reacting, and this is the most important thing," Gorbachev said.
"Speakers and politicians, people understand that this, the New Cold War, must not be allowed. This might turn out to be a hot war that could mean the destruction of our entire civilization," he added.
"This must not be allowed."
The man is entirely correct in his assessment; a shooting war with Russia would be one of the most ham-fistedly, pig-headedly stupid thing this government could do.
And unfortunately, the above is utterly no guarantee that it will not do just that.
The Superpowers Battling Over Iraq's Giant Oil Field
For Russia, the Middle East offers a key military pivot from which it can project influence West and East and that it can use to capture and control massive oil and gas flows in both directions as well.
For China, the Middle East – and, absolutely vitally, Iran and Iraq – are irreplaceable stepping stones towards Europe for its era-defining 'One Belt, One Road' project.
Earlier this week an announcement was made by Iraq's Oil Ministry that highlights each of these factors at play, through a relatively innocuous-sounding contract award to a relatively unknown Chinese firm.
So, it appears that the real "winners" of the US's invasion and occupation of Iraq, will be either China or Russia, or China and Russia, possibly working together in some deal with which to benefit both countries, when this project is completed?!?
Welcome To The Potemkin Village Of Washington Power
That ominous challenge to constitutionalism was on full display with the recent op-ed piece in the New York Times by retired Admiral William McRaven, in which he brashly warned that unless Trump jumped aboard the Forever War bandwagon, he must be removed, and "the sooner the better." The U.S. must have a policy, McRaven said, that protects "the Kurds, the Iraqis, the Afghans, the Syrians, the Rohingyas, the South Sudanese and the millions of people under the boot of tyranny."

Two Paths Forward with China – The Good and The Bad
Since a few things became clear to me last year, I've consistently forecasted a significant worsening in U.S.-China relations and remained adamant that all the happy talk of trade deals and breakthroughs is just a lot of hot air.
What first appeared to be a unique quirk of Donald Trump has morphed into bipartisan consensus in Congress, and clear signs have emerged that the general public has likewise become alarmed at China's growing global clout.
Three major crisis events have rocked the U.S. this century, and much of the public has embraced, or at least accepted, the worst possible response in all cases.
The US tensions with China, rather than seeming to being any closer to getting resolved, have absolutely gotten worse, during President Trump's reign, between the signing of the Hong Kong Act; US Navy continued patrolling of the South China Seas and the monumental trade imbalance, which has yet to be resolved.
Trade wars happen to have a nasty habit of morphing into shooting wars; I hope this is not going to happen, but I cannot discount the possibility, that certain individuals in the Bowels of Power in DC, see the destruction of the current regime in Beijing as "the only answer", to the "China Question", as the US cannot manage to compete economically.
President Xi's "Belt and Road" project, using trade to bind Europe and Asia into a formidable manufacturing/distribution hub in Eurasia, will be unstoppable, and there is very little the US can do to stop it, except prevent its evolution from continuing, and that prevention may very well be a war, for which the US government doesn't have the troops; the manufacturing; the money; or the weaponry.

Pentagon 'Pretending' to Fight Daesh in New Op to Justify US' Continued Syria Occupation
With this renewed effort to combat Daesh forces in Syria, it's understandable that some observers are scratching their heads, considering the fact that the commander-in-chief has declared ad nauseum that those same Daesh forces have been eliminated over the past year.
Despite US President Donald Trump's repeated declarations of victory over Daesh, the US has - once again - announced a resumption in operations against the group. While the tug-of-war between the commander-in-chief and the Pentagon is apparent, one expert points out that there is one thing both parties can agree on: oil.
In a Saturday press conference, US Air Force Maj. Gen. Eric Hill announced that, following operations on November 22, a US-led coalition was able to not only capture a "significant amount" of small arms, ammunition and explosives, but also detained over a dozen Daesh soldiers.
As a creation of the US government, which funded/trained/armed Daesh (read: Isis), Daesh/ISIS is being used wherever the US government believes it needs a "distraction"; the current looting of Syrian oil creates a marvelous need for some consistent "misdirection".

US Primes NATO To Confront Russia, China
Authored by M.K.Bhadrakumar via The Indian Punchline blog,
The December 3-4 summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) in London resembles a family reunion after the acrimony over the issue of military spending by America's European allies.
The trend is up for defence spending across European Allies and Canada. Over $100 billion is expected to be added to the member states' defence budgets by end-2020.
More importantly, the trend at the NATO foreign ministers' meeting at Brussels on November 19-20, in the run-up to the London summit, showed that despite growing differences within the alliance, member states closed ranks around three priority items in the US global agenda — escalation of the aggressive policy toward Russia, militarisation of space and countering China's rise.
The NATO will follow Washington's lead to establish a space command by officially regarding space as "a new operational domain".
My big question here, other than the obvious tweaking of resources and NATO's readiness for war against China and Russia, is this; Will NATO do any better in space than it has done on earth?!?
Unfortunately, the short answer here, is no.
US Enraged After 6 More EU Nations Join INSTEX To Bypass Iran Sanctions
On Friday six European countries issued a bombshell joint statement declaring their intent to join INSTEX, or the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges, a European special-purpose vehicle serving as a 'SWIFT alternative' to bypass US sanctions on Iran.
Finland, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden released a joint statement asserting it's of "the utmost importance to the preservation and full implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) on Iran's nuclear program by all parties involved."
"In light of the continuous European support for the agreement and the ongoing efforts to implement the economic part of it and to facilitate legitimate trade between Europe and Iran, we are now in the process of becoming shareholders of the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (Instex) subject to completion of national procedures," the statement reads.
That none of President Trump's people saw this coming, or saw it, but didn't let President Trump know it could very probably be a European response to Iran not being able to use SWIFT, demonstrates a catastrophic failure of imagination.
And I am sorry, but the US pulling out of the P5+1 treaty, was one of the most ham-fistedly, pig-headedly stupid things the US government could have done, particularly because it was done at the behest of both Israeli Premier (at the moment) Bibi Netanyahu and Trump Bankroller, Sheldon Adelson.
I would like to hope for some modicum of adult response by the White House to this move by Finland, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden; but if Richard Grenell is saying "Terrible timing - why fund the Iranian regime while its killing the Iranian people and shutting off the internet? You should be standing for human rights not funding the abusers.", I doubt that we will see any improvement in US/Iranian relations for a very long time, if ever.
That the US government doesn't see itself as the culprit here, demonstrates a terrible disconnect from global realities. I have to wonder what President Trump's people are going to conjure up to "punish" those European countries which are now going with INSTEX, rather than stay with "SWIFT"?!?

Syrian Army Bombs Kurdish Tankers Smuggling Oil to Turkey, A Message to Trump
Oil tankers and oil makeshift refineries in northeast Syria were bombed by 'mysterious' planes yesterday morning, SANA later stated it was done by the Syrian Army regional command.
The statement conveyed Syrian Arab News Agency SANA was brief but very meaningful:
"SANA's correspondent in al-Hasakah quoted a field source as saying: after verifying that some Kurdish organizations in the Syrian Jazira region smuggle Syrian oil through tanks through Jarablus and Erbil region in northern Iraq to the Turkish regime, which they claim to be their main enemy, Groups of these tanks and oil refining centers were destroyed this morning.
The source stressed that strict measures will be taken against any smuggling of stolen oil from Syrian territory outside Syria."
Syrian Jazira region refers to the Syrian territories east and northeast of the Euphrates.
The US government, has been at its most ham-fistedly, pig-headedly stupid, in this totally illegal occupation of Syrian oil fields, and the looting of its products.
I would like to hope, that SOMEONE in Moscow, is talking to SOMEONE in Washington, about avoiding military conflict between the US and Russia in Syria, but right now, it appears that this is a question of "when", not "if".
I would like to politely remind President Trump that what he has done here, is totally and completely illegal, under international law. The question here is, when, and how, will Putin respond to this behaviour?
Mr. President, please; I would calmly and seriously suggest that the US getting out of Syria would be a very reasonable thing to do, if you don't want the US military enmeshed in a war with Russia in Syria.

Trump Claims that Nicaragua Is a "National Security Threat" to Legitimize U.S. Economic Aggression
U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday extended a national emergency declaration for Nicaragua for a year due to the "dismantling and undermining of democratic institutions" by the Government of the Central American country and the alleged repression of activists.
The notice extends for one year the emergency declared on November 27, 2018. The national emergency is intended to broaden the presidential powers to invoke a dozen relevant U.S. laws, however, it is not clear how the declaration would apply to Nicaragua. Trump used a similar emergency statement regarding the U.S.-Mexico border to invoke existing laws that, according to the administration, allow the diversion of money from government programs to build a border wall.
But why has Trump decided to do this?
Nicaragua, a "national security threat"?!? Mr. President, are you flipping kidding us?!?
So let's talk reality here, by looking at the following article:
World's Largest lithium resources op for grabs, due to political upheaval in Bolivia
The article goes on to state: "One of the most prominent conspiracy theories surrounding the recent overthrow of Bolivian President Evo Morales is that the military's intervention was a coup to ensure US control of lithium.
Considered a critical resource, lithium is a key component of new technologies including car batteries, phones, electronic devices and sophisticated weapons systems – and recent reports suggest Bolivia could host around 30% of the world's total of the raw material.
In media interviews, Morales has claimed his ousting is the result of a US-backed movement to establish a right-wing leader who will expose the South American nation's lithium reserves to exploitation by industry."
US companies want to get their hands on Nicaraguan lithium, so a coup was instituted by American interests, and Morales got overthrown: this is not a "conspiracy theory", but is premised on hard, logical fact.
Also, we have documentation from commondreams.org of the following:
After Morales Ousted in Coup, the Lithium Question Looms Large in Bolivia
The article goes on to state: "Tesla (United States) and Pure Energy Minerals (Canada) both showed great interest in having a direct stake in Bolivian lithium. But they could not make a deal that would take into consideration the parameters set by the Morales government. Morales himself was a direct impediment to the takeover of the lithium fields by the non-Chinese transnational firms. He had to go.
After the coup, Tesla's stock rose astronomically."
Regime change coupled with a color revolution of dubious origins; this has become the US government's "recipe" for the expropriation of natural resources to which the US government, or corporations, have utterly no moral right; but the US government, had to beat out China's potential claim to the stuff, no matter the cost in Nicaraguan blood or money, right?!?

Reality on Thanksgiving Weekend
According to Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week:
"Hunger and homelessness don't stop for the holidays."
Tens of millions of Americans "liv(e) on the edge, forced to choose between basic necessities like purchasing food, paying rent, or going to the doctor" when ill.
Poverty is the nation's leading growth industry. Most US households face a daily struggle to get by.
On average, 550,000 Americans are homeless each night.
I see it firsthand whenever outside in downtown Chicago. The city's Magnificent Mile reveals a reality check.
Countless numbers of homeless, hungry, desperate people line both sides of the avenue, hoping passers-by will offer loose change to help them make it through another day.
Many are combat veterans, treated with disdain by the nation they served. Others have families with children. Some have part-time work when able to find it – paying poverty or sub-poverty wages and no benefits.
I knew that the numbers here were bad, but I wasn't aware of just quite how bad they were, until looking at this article.
The numbers here are not only horrific, but terrifying, in their future implications for this country.
US Vows to 'Reinforce' Sanctions, Accuses Venezuela and Cuba of Stirring Regional 'Strife'Elliott Abrams reiterated support for Guaido and denied that sanctions are damaging the Venezuelan economy.
Guaido proclaimed himself head of state in January and has gone on to lead several unsuccessful efforts to topple Maduro, including a failed military putsch in April.
Trump immediately backed Guaido's "interim presidency," handing the Venezuela file to Abrams, a veteran cold warrior infamous for his role in the Iran/Contra scandal, the Reagan administration's Central America policy, and the Iraq War.
Asked about the efficacy of US sanctions, Abrams assured reporters that the measures are cutting off vital funds for the Venezuelan government. However, he acknowledged that he "would like to see, obviously, the sanctions work better," adding that "there are plans to reinforce the effort." He did not offer further details.

Ukraine: Land Privatization Demanded by IMF, Links to Biden Graft Scandal. Engineered Bankruptcy of National Economy
The point here is that the former Minister of Ecology of Ukraine Nikolay Zlochevsky, an owner of "Burisma" gas company, in 2014 introduced a number of Western politicians to the board of directors of his company, which helped him to avoid accusations of corruption. Hunter Biden, son of former US Vice President Joe Biden, received monthly large payments for his "consultancy services". As a result Ukraine's General prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the corruption schemes of the company, was forced – under pressure – to resign by Joe Biden, who even boasted about it in the US media.
I would like to hope that someone in the DNC is connecting these dots to get Biden out of the running for President; Tom Perez, DNC Chair; people are reading this... and it will destroy Biden, and potentially the Democratic Party itself, if you allow his candidacy to move forward.

Tulsi Gabbard: Wake Up And Smell Our $6.4 Trillion Wars; Meanwhile, her fellow Democrats appear abysmally unconcerned about the human and financial toll.
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard in August 2019. (Flickr/Creative Commons/Gage Skidmore)
NOVEMBER 29, 2019|12:01 AM
The Democratic establishment is increasingly irritated. Representative Tulsi Gabbard, long-shot candidate for president, is attacking her own party for promoting the "deeply destructive" policy of "regime change wars." Gabbard has even called Hillary Clinton "the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party."
Senator Chris Murphy complained: "It's a little hard to figure out what itch she's trying to scratch in the Democratic Party right now." Some conservatives seem equally confused. The Washington Examiner's Eddie Scarry asked: "where is Tulsi distinguishing herself when it really matters?"
Gabbard has this issue by the "short and curlies", and I respect her for taking no prisoners, when it comes to these horrific wars.
Tom Perez, please; at the end of the day, you are going to need a Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidate who appeal to the American "middle", to the centrists, if you will.
IF you actually run Biden (with Ukrainegate already bursting out at the seams); Clinton, (who has more baggage than does Kim Kardashian on a photo shoot); Warren or Sanders (both socialists with no real "middle appeal"), you will, just as you did in 2016, The Democrats will lose this election to President Trump, and it will be your own damned fault.
We both know that Buttegeig and Gabbard may be considered "long shots"; but at the end of the day, we both know that Presidential candidates are created, and do not come out of the ether (Remember the propaganda for the first Clinton campaign, "A Town called Hope"?!?) But I think, if your PR team has any sense, they will do a decent pairing of these two, as reasonable, intelligent human beings, whose domestic and foreign policies will make sense to the American people.
That could work really well, and you just might not lose out on the Presidential election twice in a row.
With any other candidates you have to put forward, the Dems will lose again, to Trump; and I don't believe, for a moment, that you want to see that happen.
Time Is Running Out For Trump's North Korea Diplomacy; Year's end an artificial deadline, but lack of progress is causing problems
orth Korea has said the US has until the end of the year to come up with a new proposal to revive stalled diplomatic engagement between the two nations. US officials have similarly warned North Korea that time is running out, albeit without specific deadlines.
As a practical matter, these deadlines are all artificial and arbitrary, and the nations could engage whenever they want to. At the same time, many months have gone by without any progress, and the process is plainly growing stale for it.
It isn't even that there are a slew of disagreements holding things up. Rather, there is a very specific issue: North Korea wants something in return for denuclearization, and the US just keeps demanding they denuclearize unconditionally, with hints they might get something in return eventually.
This is not any kind of negotiation, if one side demands XYZ from the other, and there is no Quid Pro Quo from the side doing the demanding; this is precisely what we have in the US position regarding North Korea.
"BLACK FRIDAY IS DYING" - SHOPPING MALLS TURN TO "GHOST TOWNS" AMID ONLINE SHIFT
SOURCE: ZERO HEDGE
Black Friday is undergoing a transformative period where consumers are ditching brick-and-mortar stores for online shopping.
Reuters noted Friday, that traffic volumes at stores across the country on Thanksgiving eve were soft — and it's likely the trend will continue through the weekend.
Another report via KeyBanc Capital Markets found traffic "somewhat muted at malls" during Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
KeyBanc's analyst Edward Yruma attributed the decline to more online sales.
KeyBanc's note said Gap, Banana Republic, Express and Zara offered 50% discounts, but that still wasn't enough to attract shoppers.
Though traffic was steady at Walmart, Target, and Lululemon.
Given the trend for Black Friday kerfuffles, with actual broken bones, and some deaths resulting from those injuries, I will do anything which keeps me out of a major shopping area, and that does mean going on line to identify gifts for the family.
SENIOR EX-DEUTSCHE BANK EXEC CONNECTED TO UNORTHODOX TRUMP LOANS, COMMITS SUICIDE
Broeksmit's death appeared to set off an unprecedented series of banker suicides throughout the year which included former Fed officials and numerous JPMorgan traders. A few months later, in October, another Deutsche Bank veteran committed suicide when the bank's associate general counsel and former SEC enforcement attorney, 41 year old Calogero "Charlie" Gambino, who was found on the morning of Oct. 20, having also hung himself by the neck from a stairway banister.
Fast forward to this week when Thomas Bowers, a former Deutsche Bank executive and head of the bank's US private wealth-management division (i.e., the group catering to ultra wealthy clients), killed himself by hanging in his Malibu residence last Tuesday, November 19th, according to the coroner's initial report. Bowers was 55.
It appears that having "assassins on speed dial" may have become a very practical matter for some in power in the banking industry, who fear that disclosure of their actual practices might have landed them a long time in jail.

Study: Artificial Intelligence Could Affect "Virtually Every Occupational Group"
By: ActivistPost
By B.N. Frank
Most disruption predicted in San Jose, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Boulder, Detroit, Huntsville, Louisville, and more…
82% of Americans think Artificial Intelligence (AI) is more harmful than helpful. Reports indicate there are many good reasons for this and it's not just about massive job loss.
Proponents insist we'll all be okay though – we just need UBI (Universal Basic Income). $1000/month might be okay for some, but not everyone could live off that. For those who manage to keep their jobs – they'll still be more "exposed" to AI. They also may be forced to "merge" with it...

Turkey refusing to sign NATO defense plan for the Baltics, pressing alliance to label Syria's Kurds as 'terrorists' – report
Ankara has reportedly been blackmailing NATO, refusing to sign the proposed defense plan for the Baltics and Poland unless the alliance officially recognizes Kurdish-led militia in northern Syria as a "terrorist group."
Agreeing on a new NATO defense plan for the eastern European countries has escalated from a formality into a true diplomatic battle, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing four senior sources within the bloc.
"[The Turks) are taking eastern Europeans hostage, blocking approval of this military planning until they get concessions," one of the sources said.
This... is about to get awkward, in the extreme.
Because of its geography, NATO needs Turkey; however, Turkey is beginning to move more and more toward the orbit of the Russian Federation.
This argument may not end well for NATO.

IRAQ PM ANNOUNCES RESIGNATION AFTER 40 PROTESTERS KILLED ON SINGLE DEADLIEST DAY
After two months of anti-corruption and anti-government protests have rocked Iraq, resulting in a death toll into the hundreds as the unrest turns increasingly sectarian and which has included the burning of two Iranian consulates, Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi says he will resign.
He announced in an official statement put out by his office that he will submit his resignation to parliament after the country's top Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, suddenly pulled support, telling the nation in a Friday sermon that parliament should "reconsider its options" after putting Mahdi in power in the first place.
The subsequent statement signed by Abdul Mahdi indicated the following:
In response to this call, and in order to facilitate it as quickly as possible, I will present to parliament a demand (to accept) my resignation from the leadership of the current government.
Perhaps with this development, Iraqis will feel that they have at least a modicum of control over their government, but it has come at a great cost, with a terrible loss of life.
One has to wonder who the next US-Centric "bag man" will be put in place by the US government, or to what degree this may be possible, after Mahdi's resignation.

Some reservations
What Would Anthony Bourdain Do? SN&R's adventure-dining series continues.
By Chris Shimoda
Just add nori and rice for a poor-man's Mikuni.
A new season of popular cable TV food travelogue Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations is up and running on Travel Channel. Thankfully—Sacramento being the worldly locale it is—you too can eat like Bourdain. A four-course menu:
Spam musubi, as seen in the "Hawaii" episode
Bourdain says: "Oh man, that's really #@$ed up. I gotta have it."
Bourdain conquered fear of Spam with help from Honolulu's New Uptown Fountain, where he dined on Spam musubi: essentially rice, nori, and Spam. Spam Musubi is a much-beloved delicacy among native Hawaiians (Obama?). It can be found at any of the local L&L chains, but on Fridays and Saturdays, spicy Spam Musubi can be purchased for $3.50 a pack at Osaka Ya (2215 10th Street).
Authentic Mexican street tacos, as seen in "U.S./Mexico Border" and "Mexico" episodes
Bourdain says: "These are the things tourists miss because they're afraid of it."
New Yorkers like Bourdain may get Papaya Dog or pastrami-and-thin-crust pizzas, but we run laps around the Big Apple when it comes to Mexican food. Bourdain dines on asada street tacos in Piedras Negras and tacos al pastor in Mexico City, sure, but many area taquerias like El Abuelo (5045 Franklin Boulevard) offer al pastor off the spit, as seen on No Reservations. On weekends during lunchtime, tacos are served alfresco at La Piedad Taqueria (1620 W Capitol Avenue): big asada slabs cooked in their own juices and rendered fat, served with buche (stomach) and mind-numbingly good chorizo.
Pelmeni and borscht, as seen in A Cook's Tour, "The Cook Who Came in From the Cold" episode
Bourdain says: "Borscht wouldn't be borscht without the beets."
In St. Petersburg, Bourdain enjoyed a home-cooked meal of said famed Russian dishes, and Stolichniy Restaurant (5601 Watt Avenue) serves excellent versions of these classics: The much-maligned borscht is absolutely delicious; if you like minestrone soup, you'll love it. Pelmeni, the Chinese boiled dumpling's Russian cousin, is served in a rich broth and topped with butter. After downing a bowl of pelmeni along with the borscht, I was ready to trudge across a glacier. Naked.
Haggis, as seen in A Cook's Tour, "Highland Grub" episode
Bourdain says: "This is a punch line in the States as something you definitely don't want to eat."
A live reading of poet Robert Burns' "Address to a Haggis" precedes Bourdain's meal of haggis, neeps (boiled, mashed turnips) and tatties (mashed potatoes) in Edinburgh, Scotland. Pick up your own haggis at the Scottish Meat Pie Co. (245 N. First Street in Dixon). Their haggis is made on premises for takeout, and, like borscht, it's terribly misunderstood: meaty, rich and filling. If you can handle Hamburger Helper, you should have no problem with haggis.

The theme of this issue, entitled The Psychological Aspects of Contemporary Families, Marriages and Partnerships, focuses on research in the field of family, marriage and partnership across the world and in Croatia. Although partnership, marriage and family have been perpetual themes of importance in each historical epoch, they are even more relevant today. Marital and family crises as well as the emotional life of families are investigated, and alternative forms of cohabitation, determinants of parenting and support to parenting are discussed. Statistical data clearly indicate that interest in marriage is declining each year, especially among the young population. On the other hand, the data show an increase in the number of divorces and a decrease in the number of children born into marriages. All the mentioned structural changes in the family probably result from a great number of factors that have not yet been sufficiently investigated. In many families, the current economic crisis, unemployment and feelings of insecurity create a specific marital and family atmosphere as well as specific forms of behaviour among partners and/or family members. In these circumstances, the family system may play both a protective and risk role in a child's development. Therefore, recent models and concepts in psychology examine the parent–child relationship specifically in the context of different systems that directly or indirectly affect a child's development. These topical themes were presented at the 20th Annual Conference of Croatian Psychologists entitled The Psychological Aspects of Contemporary Families, Marriages and Partnerships in 2012. In this special issue of the journal Društvena istraživanja, some of the conference participants have presented the results of their recent research. Paolo Amato, an eminent scientist from the United States, Professor of Family Sociology and Demography at the Department for Sociology at the Pennsylvania State University is a special guest of this issue. His research interests include marriage and marital quality, the causes and consequences of divorce and psychological well-being over the life course. In 2011, he was appointed as President of the National Council on Family Relations in the United States. In addition to Prof. Amato, the contributors in this issue are my colleagues who work within the field of developmental and social psychology at the University of Zagreb, that is, at the Social Work Study Centre at the Faculty of Law in Zagreb and Department for Psychology, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, and at the Institute for Social Sciences Ivo Pilar. Taking into account their topics, articles in this issue of Društvena istraživanja contribute to the scientific analysis of important psychological aspects of the contemporary family, marriage and partnership. This research is characterised by contemporary research methodology and complex statistical techniques as well as data processing procedures. We are aware that these papers make up only a small part of the discussions on the psychological aspects of the modern family, marriage and partnerships in today's scientific community. However, they will hopefully contribute to an improved scientifically-based clarification of the relationships between partners in a family and consequently, to a better understanding of the relationships between parents and their children, which could raise more attention among scientists in this field in the future.

Q: Iterate through a pandas dataframe, check each column value with an if statement and pass the column values to the prefered column of an empty df I have pandas a dataframe like this
    Event_Id       Investigation_Type Accident_Number   Event_Date
0   20180922X71035  ACCIDENT          DCA18CA289        09/10/2018
1   20180507X00658  ACCIDENT          DCA18CA169        05/07/2018
4   20171212X50255  ACCIDENT          DCA18CA043B       12/03/2017

and I try to iterate through it like this...
n1col = 0
n2col = 1

for i in df.index:
    Node1=df.Event_Id
    for j in df.index:
        Node2=df.Event_Id
        if (Node1 != Node2):
            new_df.loc[j,n1col] = Node1
            new_df.loc[j,n2col] = Node2

I don't know if my approach is right (as I see it's not) I want some help so I can get a result like the one below...
I am new to that kind of stuff so I need your help.

Thanks in Advance.

A: I know you've already accepted an answer. But in case you are not looking for a combination and instead want the cartesian product and then filter it down such that the 2 columns are not equal...
>>> df
         Event_Id Accident_Number  Event_Date Investigation_Type
0  20180922X71035      DCA18CA289  09/10/2018           ACCIDENT

2  20171212X50255     DCA18CA043B  12/03/2017           ACCIDENT

Get the Cartesian Product Answer from this other StackOverflow post
>>> df['key'] = 0
>>> df
         Event_Id Accident_Number  Event_Date Investigation_Type  key
0  20180922X71035      DCA18CA289  09/10/2018           ACCIDENT    0

2  20171212X50255     DCA18CA043B  12/03/2017           ACCIDENT    0
>>> df2 = df.merge(df, on='key').filter(items=['Event_Id_x', 'Event_Id_y'])
>>> df2
       Event_Id_x      Event_Id_y
0  20180922X71035  20180922X71035

8  20171212X50255  20171212X50255

Use .loc/boolean indexing to filter down your DataFrame
>>> df2.loc[df2['Event_Id_x'] != df2['Event_Id_y']]
       Event_Id_x      Event_Id_y
1  20180922X71035  20180507X00658
2  20180922X71035  20171212X50255
3  20180507X00658  20180922X71035
5  20180507X00658  20171212X50255
6  20171212X50255  20180922X71035
7  20171212X50255  20180507X00658

Similar to Josh's answer using itertools. But this time using product instead of combination:
>>> df = df.set_index('Event_Id')
>>> df3 = pd.DataFrame(list(product(df.index.tolist(), df.index.tolist())), columns=['Node1', 'Node2'])
>>> df3.loc[df3['Node1'] != df3['Node2']]
            Node1           Node2
1  20180922X71035  20180507X00658
2  20180922X71035  20171212X50255
3  20180507X00658  20180922X71035
5  20180507X00658  20171212X50255
6  20171212X50255  20180922X71035
7  20171212X50255  20180507X00658

A: You can do it in one line with
from itertools import combinations

pd.DataFrame(list(combinations(df.index.tolist(), 2)), columns=['Node1', 'Node2'])

Last summer we reported on Bell v. Cheswick Generating Station, 903 F. Supp. 2d 314 (3rd Cir. 2013), a Third Circuit decision which held that the Clean Air Act does not preempt state law claims for personal and property damage caused by air pollutants. And in March, we noted, not unsurprisingly, that defendant GenOn Power had filed a Petition for Cert to the U.S. Supreme Court. On June 2, that Petition was denied, which may have been the impetus for the Supreme Court of Iowa to release its decison in Freeman v. Grain Processing Corp., No. 13-0723 (June 13, 2014), holding that neither the Clean Air Act nor Iowa's analogous state act pre-empted similar state law claims. The decision is a hefty one, providing a historical overview of the Clean Air Act and preemption law and an in-depth discussion leading to the Court's final determination. Put this one aside for one evening when you're sitting in the recliner with a glass of wine at your side.
In a 7-2 opinion issued today, the United States Supreme Court held that CERCLA does not preempt state law statutes of repose that foreclose causes of action for personal injury and property damage claims asserted after a statutorily-prescribed time period has elapsed, effectively absolving potential defendants from liability.

Q: GSP PubSub topic with proto schema - TimeStamp validation error I would like to use GCP PubSub with proto schema validation where messages will be in JSON. A part of the message is also TimeStamp so I added TimeStamp definition into the message (because imports are not supported) and my schema definition looks like this:
syntax = "proto3";

message NewSourceEvent {
  message Source {
      Timestamp time = 1;
      string username = 2;
  }

  message Timestamp {
    int64 seconds = 1;
    int32 nanos = 2;
  }

  Source source = 1;
}

Test message:
{
    "source": {
       "time": "1999-05-11T05:17:10Z",
       "username": "un"
    }
}

And when I test the message from my service (which is serialized protobuf object into JSON) it's failed because it cannot serialize the TimeStamp - Invalid schema message: (source.time): invalid value "1999-05-11T05:17:10Z" for type type.googleapis.com/NewSourceEvent.Timestamp.
Is there any way how to define the schema to be able to parse the message and time will be still TimeStamp?

A: the timestamp type is imported from a external definition, like import "google/protobuf/timestamp.proto";
BUT, Pub/Sub does not support external import for now, as you check here , so I'm afraid it's not going to work. The workaround would be change it to string type.
I could not find a way to enable imports or to use timestamp without it.

The definition you have created is actually validating a message like this:
{
 "source":{
  "time":{
   "seconds":"999",
   "nanos":"999"
 },
  "username":"un"
}

You could try using a unix timestamp format in a int64 variable: 1643886443340 = Thursday, February 3, 2022 11:07:23.340 AM

ASSESSMENT OF ASPHALT CONCRETE PAVEMENT QUALITY BY USING INFRARED THERMAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGY

Manholes cause uneven pavements, which affect the quality of pavement services, leading to public criticism in Taiwan. Many manholes are buried beneath pavements to ensure evenness and enhance the usability of pavements for pedestrians. The presence of manholes affects the quality of the asphalt concrete underneath the pavement because then conducting excavations using road construction equipment becomes difficult, ultimately leading to early deterioration of the pavement surfaces. Temperatures can also differ considerably between the manhole and non-manhole locations on asphalt concrete pavement. This study used infrared thermal imaging technology and an analysis of variances statistical method to investigate the differences in temperature changes at manhole locations. This technology can obtain accurate and detailed information on surface temperatures. The results reveal that the asphalt concrete in manhole and non-manhole areas will exhibit temperature differences of approximately 24-58C, thus allowing for more accurate positioning of manholes during construction. In addition, this infrared thermal imaging technology can be used to determine pavement construction quality base on temperature uniformity of the asphalt concrete. Thus, infrared thermal imaging technology provides an optimal and cost-effective solution for constructing and maintaining pavements.

Ye Olde Videogame: Space Cruiser
I don't really like the whole "old games=hard" thing games has a tendency to default to assuming, mainly because there were a lot of old games and amongst them, a lot of kinds of old games. From the humble text adventure to the platformer to the shooter, difficulty and approachability tended to be rather all over the shop!
So, you know, not that different to now really. Saying old games were all hard is a bit like saying new ones are because Dark Souls exists. It's silly.
That said, some of them are absolute monsters and I had forgotten quite how monstrous Space Cruiser was/is. My main recollections of the game shrouded in the mists of a lot of life having been lived since it sat in the cafe at the local swimming baths alongside Hunchback and Scramble, and I don't think I ever really consciously paid it much attention on MAME in more recent years – not out of any particular dislike or concern, just I hadn't really thought about it in a lifetime.
Partly out of necessity (a dude needs his old games) and partly after finally letting the wisdom of Yak from a few years back sink in after one of my more grumpy moments about the Arcade Archives range ("if we won't pay a fiver for an arcade game, who will?" and as ever, man has a point), I've been grabbing some stuff from the all too tiny bunch of old games you can buy on the PS4 and trying to not just stick to another copy of Scramble or I, Robot either.
I definitely wish the games had more pleasing bezel artwork instead of whatever that is.
So yeah, that's kinda meant if I've got a fiver spare or whatever, taking a punt on some half remembered thing because, well, why not? The worst a game can be is not to my tastes. As I'm going through a bit of a space shooty (and in particular, space shooty with a simple coloured scrolling pixel starfield if possible) phase I figured why not eh over Space Cruiser.
Oof. I know my reflexes and co-ordination are far from what they used to be but still, oof. I'm definitely spending more time losing lives than progressing on this one. Enjoying myself, mind!
I have no idea what the term du jour for this sort of thing is but it's a bit Moon Cresta, even down to having a ship docking sequence. Think one screen at a time, bunch of aliens flying around in some formation – not rigid like Space Invaders, more chaotic like the latter parts of a Galaga stage. A very dawn of the eighties blast.
Coloured pixel starfields are the best starfields.
It's got some lush presentation going on, some definite showy-offy bits. A short animated sequence of your spacecraft launching opens the game, your progress is marked in an on-screen map at key stages and my personal favourite thing – the colour cycling asteroid blasting stages that start off fairly reasonably paced but quickly descend into a glorious nightmare of, like, a whole few colours cycling pretty fast.
It's as effective a simple trick here as it is in today's games, though obviously needs a hefty epilepsy warning just in case.
There's definitely the occasional thing here where I'm like "Ref! Ref! Come 'ed, that was a foul, easy" (the first time I got wiped by the first stage's high speed red ball, I swear I swore swears no-one should swear) but in space, no-one can hear you appeal to an imaginary referee so I just had to get on with it.
You can try Space Cruiser for yourself through MAME or on a bunch of consoles as a title in the arcade archives series. It's pretty good.
Here's me failing repeatedly to make any sort of decent progress. Like I say, this game is hard.

Catlateral Damage Remeowstered
Actually breaking off writing about something else here to quickly mention that Catlateral Damage, my favourite cat game that isn't the wonderful Calico, gets a shiny remastered version launched today. Not only that but an already perfectly named game (Catlateral! Brilliant!) gets a variation on "Remastered" that puts Red Faction Guerilla's awesome "Re-Mars-tered" to shame.
(And yes, I don't trust anyone that doesn't have a favourite cat game. I'll even accept Artic's Paws).
Catlateral Damage is a sandbox (litterbox) game where you get to pick one of many cats and do what cats do best – get the zoomies, push things off shelves onto the floor thus causing a massive mess and having a ball with the bog roll. Oh, and nap, obvs.
For anyone with a long enough memory, it's more Off-Road Velociraptor Safari than Goat Simulator. – compact and focused on doing what it does well.
(Oh, and yeah, there's a dedicated meow button because that's important)
It's great and out on just about most things today. A wonderful piece of family friendly silliness that I've adored for a fair few years now and I'm glad it's getting another go round because it's great.

In "videogames I haven't thought about in years" corner, it strikes me that it took indie games approximately 30 years to reach the visual heights of the Archie/Amiga game, Top Banana.
all pics from Moby Games
Which would be less strange if Top Banana wasn't an early footnote in indie game history courtesy of (latterly) Pom Pom's Miles Visman.
Pom Pom, of course, being responsible for Mutant Storm and that – games which would have been a lot of people's gateway back into the world of the super small team long before anyone had even considered thinking about making Braid or whatever the first indie game is this week.
Here's the ever reliable HG 101 if you want to know more, though I disagree that "it's just plain bad". Personally, I prefer "difficult and before its time". Also "looks astounding".

SDI and A Tale Of Credits
Wading through some old Amiga mags at the moment and last night I ended up down one of my rabbit hole things, stumbled into this old piece (again) on why and how the Amiga version of SDI ended up with curiously defaced credits.
Picture, in your mind's eye, 1987. A buoyant and flourishing games market on home computers such as the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga, with Activision extremely interested in exploiting it…
What begins as a bit of a "well, this is odd" ends on a bunch of lovely recollections on how things ended up as they did.
I recall reading all this a while back but it's worth another kick round all the same.

Snip Snip: Artificial Intelligence (And Why You Might Not Recognise It)
Snip Snip is an occasional look at a magazine cutting from computer games past. Where necessary, names and addresses have been removed to protect the innocent.
A passage from issue 1 of Amiga Power's Gods review
I've been playing a bit of Gods (courtesy of the PS4 remake which is fine providing you stick to the original game art) in-between other things recently.
I can't say I got on with a lot of Amiga era arcade adventures, as pretty as a lot of them are there's a tendency towards showboating sprites and, well, slowness. Given I'm as ADHD up to the eyeballs as can be, this really can rub me the wrong way. So, you know, I tend to avoid them.
However, given I'm more at peace with myself these days I've been finding a fair bit of joy in the slowness of Gods. It is an achingly slow game, ponderous even, but that's precisely why I'm enjoying it. That slowness gives it a curiously satisfying rhythm, one where it encourages you to be meticulous in examining the level around you in order to progress.
Anyway, I went to root out some reviews from the time and in any excuse to read some magazines, ended up browsing through the Amiga Power review. Nothing too exciting there but I did end up thinking about the box out describing what we'd now call "dynamic difficulty" or, in a post Left4Dead world, attribute it to a game director.
It's not so much that Gods does this stuff but that videogames still find themselves in a position of explaining the exact same stuff in 2021.
Don't misunderstand me here, I don't think this is a problem! The audience for games is always going to consist of new people or folks who only normally tinker with one genre but they just couldn't resist a particular game.
If anything I want us to keep getting better at explaining stuff. There's a time and a place for videogames being for an incredibly specific, incredibly niche, audience. There's a time and a place for them being absolutely opaque too.
Videogames can be remarkably insular and obtuse and there's genre traits which seem mystifying to me still, never mind. Sometimes that's an important part of what a videogame is!
For those moments where it's not, I hope we'll keep explaining stuff and making this stuff easier to grasp even if we've been doing it for 30 years.

Fallen London
Fallen London is a game that's probably sucked more hours out of my life than, well, any other videogame ever. Yes, even No Man's Sky or Left4Dead can't hope to compete with it as we're talking a game I've been playing most nights for yonks now.
Partly it's because I am nothing if not an ageing goth and Fallen London's the closest a videogame has ever gotten to fitting in perfectly alongside my music tastes (please videogames – less Tim Burton, more Bauhaus), partly it's a comfort thing because I can log in from bed, have a little bit of an adventure, then nod off or crack open a book or whatever.
Mainly though, I keep coming back for the writing. It is so b____y good (which is lucky for a game that is entirely words really). For a few quid a month, I get one (extra) story each month to play through and I can count the ones which haven't quite done it for me on one hand. An exceptional hit rate by any standards and one that speaks to the talent Failbetter have been able to rope in to contribute over the years.
(I have a sekrit mental wishlist of people I'd love to see have a pop at a story because, basically, I'm greedy and would have everyone whose writing I adore in games write me a Fallen London story if I could)
One of the things that I find remarkable is after all this time playing Fallen London I must have read some passages in the game an absurd amount of times (sometimes multiple times a night if I'm knackered and just doing a bit of lazy making a number go up), I still enjoy reading those passages. Nothing has me going "oh, not this" or glazing over and stuff that made me smile an age back, still makes me smile now.
There's been times when I'm exhausted, my brain residing in some sort of chemical toilet or whatever and I can't bring myself to even play something I enjoy this much. It doesn't bother me so much because I know that when I get round to feeling better, I'll have accumulated a bunch of new Fallen London tales to play through. Best kind of reward for being able to drag myself out of a crappy malaise.
Mind, I'm not the kind of person able to roleplay a character easily. I've never really been able to inhabit someone or something else in that way. Any games that ask me to make a choice are going to find me pressing ahead with whatever choice feels like the one I'd make.
I appreciate how much the writing, the multiple interweaving stories, of Fallen London accommodates that every bit as well as someone who has the ability to not be themselves for a while and with purpose. I don't think I've even once felt like the game pulled the rug from under me, ever felt like a story cheated me from a choice I'd (like to imagine I'd) make in a particular situation.
It's quite the balance to maintain! Especially over this many years, this many stories, and throughout that time I've changed a lot! Still the contributors to this videogame and Failbetter in general always seem one step ahead.
It's a wonderful thing to exist and so many times over the past while I've been thankful it does.

Weapon Of Choice
If I could make just one videogame thing happen that wasn't Alcatraz Harry 3, it would be for the bulk of XBLIG games to have a continued lease of life.
Happily, a number have escaped their confines and exist in ways people can play them much, much, much more easily in 2021 so it's not a complete write off. I would always like more, you know?
Amongst the absolute best XBLIG work, in my entirely less than humble opinion, is the work of Mommy's Best games. They're dead good, all of them (though I confess, I bought but haven't gotten round to putting decent time into Pig Eat Ball yet. What I have played of it is wild.)
It's saying something when Weapon Of Choice is, to my mind, the least good of all of them and it is very good. I'd do murders to have a body of work that strong myself.
Perhaps it feeling less good to me is that in 2021 there's a whole load of run and gun games, though my experience has largely been of the more retro ones, and that the 'death brushing' (the game adjusts when you're about to have a nasty moment so as to give you a chance) is routine now where when Weapon Of Choice launched, it felt remarkably fresh. Well, for the genre anyway.
I cannot stress enough, it's not that it's aged badly – it hasn't – it's just wow, we have a lot of games now eh. And the small point that the games from the Mommy's Best stable just got better and better and better and no less wild.
I'm writing this now because this morning I was super chuffed to find that Weapon Of Choice is now available on a whole bunch of modern consoles to play and it's silly cheap to boot. Definitely the good kind of surprise when opening PSN for a gander this morning.
I honestly can't recommend it enough. It's a game that doesn't screenshot well but running through the stages and encountering whatever thing comes next, it feels vibrant and alive in a way I wish every game could be.
The enemies are ridiculous, just completely ridiculous. Love 'em. Ah, what am I talking about? I love all of it. I didn't quite get it the first time I looked at it and reviewed it on release but past me being wrong isn't exactly a revelation these days.
Weapon Of Choice, then. Definitely my weapon of choice. For the budget price especially, it's a lot of good game for not much money.

Video Of The Week: Until I Die – Cookie
Video Of The Week is just any excuse really to link to a video or series that I've been enjoying. Chances are there won't be one every week, mind.
It's a bit of a silly conceit but I really do enjoy watching someone else play a videogame until they run out of energy/lives in it, just to see how long they can go. I'd totally be down for a festival of this similar to _______ Games Done Quick.
Namcos has been doing Until I Die for aaages now and built up quite the supply of old vids you can work through if you're so inclined. Latest in that series is Ultimate's Cookie.
A few minutes in Cookie is good going, I reckon. It's one of those games that, depending on how luck falls, I find I can either play for ages or have a round over and done with in no time.
As you'll see in the video, it's very easy to get caught out by something you have absolutely no way of stopping or avoiding. Luckily, super arcadey and quick to restart means being back in the game really quickly to try again.
If you want to have a try yourself, a Spectrum emulator and a quick search on the internet will see you right seens as it was missing from Rare Replay.

I've sort of been going through a phase where I've been happily enjoying a whole bunch of videogames but not really being too excited for anything on the horizon after Psychonauts 2.
Partly it's down to the computer fizzling out so I'm stuck on the PS4 for quite the foreseeable and, not to beat around the bush, a lot of 'big' games just don't really do anything for me.
I'm absolutely not short of anything to play on the thing in the now and for the near future but I invariably only find out whether there's anything I want on the week they're released because that's just sort of how PSN works with smaller games.
It also means I end up with a fair few platform games of varying quality and (thankfully) ones that aren't a little too frustrating for my tired brain. Unfortunately neon shooters and weird stuff (pretty much my favourite things) is in short supply.
(Also I seem to have an abundance of games with a fox in because that seems to be a thing! Not complaining – nowt wrong with foxes unless you're wearing your wife's green kimono early one morning, it just amuses me somewhat)
It's not exactly a terrible situation but yeah, it has meant that I don't spend a lot of time actually excited for future games.
So thank Molyneux for the new Saints Row trailer giving me a huge grin and a couple of laugh out loud moments. I enjoyed (and replayed fairly often) Saints Row 3 and 4 but between the all too obvious pressures Volition were clearly under making them and the increasing absurdity, I was also sort of content for them to maybe just go do something else.
Obviously, I would dearly love a this-gen Crackdown meets Prototype yet much, much, sillier because I'm still me but also, I'm fairly happy to have a bit of Saints Row style open world around a cast that's kinda just great to muck around with.
I get the Watchdog 2 comparisons some have been making and sure, I largely enjoyed my time with the characters in Watchdogs 2 but the game left me cold. Not as cold as the facking hell that was Legion but still, pretty enough game but not my bag in the actually playing it department. Put that sort of Watchdogs 2-ish characterisation through the Saints Row filter and yes please.
So yes, actually properly excited for the new Saints Row and one that hopefully doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart at any moment too. Agents Of Mayhem certainly proved Volition have it in them given time, tech and money so yes, excited.

Identifying Clues to Parkinson's Disease
Two new hereditary variants have been identified for Parkinson's disease, say researchers, and also the role genetics play in this neurodegenerative disorder. Although the causes of Parkinson's disease remain unknown, environmental and genetic factors are influences. Genetics play a role in a small percentage of cases which affect people who are under the age of 50. This is known as early-onset Parkinson's. The part genes play in late-onset Parkinson's is not as well known.
In a new study, published in the journal PLoS Genetics, Nicholas Eriksson, PhD, of the California based 23andMe gene testing company which targets direct to consumer testing, says, "About a dozen genetic associations with Parkinson's have been confirmed, and many more remain to be discovered. Each new generic variant we find gets us a little closer to being able to see the full picture of how genes impact this disease. Roughly 10 genetic variants that contribute to Parkinson's had been found and we added another two to the list". It is estimated that about 25% of the gene variation in susceptibility to developing Parkinson's disease is because of genetic factors according to Eriksson and colleagues. They also estimate that about a quarter of the variation in susceptibility to the disease is due to genetic factors.
SCARB2 has been recognized as one of the newly identified genetic variants with a known Parkinson's disease pathway relating to protein degradation.
The other newly identified variant is called SREBF1, and it is not connected with any known Parkinson's pathway. Do says, "This variant is involved in lipid metabolism. Its association with Parkinson's is not really clear, which is what makes it exciting because it highlights a new area to look at".
The researchers have estimated that only about 7% of the genetic variants related to Parkinson's disease have been identified highlighting the need for more work to identify the remaining 93%.
Eriksson's colleague Chuong B Do, PhD says "While the genetic variants, or mutations, identified to date explain only a small percentage of Parkinson's cases, the gene studies have provided clinically relevant information." He points out that, "One identified mutation is associated with a 50% lifetime risk for developing the disease. This one variant accounts for a very small percentage of the total disease burden, but for people who do have the variant it is quite significant." he says.
A genome-wide study was carried out by Chuong B Do, PhD and fellow researchers. Involved in this study were 3,400 Parkinson's patients and almost 30,000 people without the disease who were 23andMe clients. This study took place in an effort to understand genetic influences in both early and late-onset Parkinson's. Recruitment of the Parkinson's patients was aided with the assistance of the Michael J Fox Foundation, the Parkinson's Institute and the National Parkinson's Foundation. The genetic testing company 23andMe funded this study solely.
The completion of the Human Genome Project allowed the study of genome wide association using the following tools: Computerized human genome sequence database, human genetic variation mapping and also the constantly developing technologies which make it easier to analyze the genetic variations related to Parkinson's disease.
