The Tier 2 (Sportsperson) visa is for elite sportspeople and coaches who are internationally established at the highest level and whose employment will make a significant contribution to the development of their sport in the UK. A UK company wanting to sponsor a sportsperson will need to ensure it has a sponsor licence first. To be allowed to apply for a licence to sponsor sportspeople, you must be a sporting body, sports club, event organiser or other organiser operating, or intending to work in, the sporting sector.
Who is eligible for a UK sports visa?
The governing body for each sport has separate endorsement criteria.
Tier 2 (Sportsperson) migrants may apply for a visa for up to 3 years with the option to extend for up to a further 3 years. Migrants are unable to extend their total stay beyond 6 years but may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain after 5 years of continuous residence.
Some sport governing bodies may only give an endorsement for 12 months at a time, regardless of the length of the migrant's contract. If the migrant will continue to be employed beyond the period covered by the sport governing body endorsement, the migrant must get a new endorsement for this period.
Where a sportsperson leaves the UK after completing a period of leave as a Tier 2 migrant, they may be affected by the 12-month cooling off period if they seek to return under any of the Tier 2 categories.
Ranked as a leading immigration service provider by Legal 500 and Who's Who Legal, we assist many clients in the sports sector with their immigration needs, ensuring sponsoring bodies and their staff remain compliant with their immigration obligations at all times. We are able to provide support with all aspects of UK immigration including operational and strategic advice.
When should I apply for a Sportsperson visa?
You will first need to be endorsed by the governing body of your sport. Once you have received an endorsement, you will need to be sponsored and issued with a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) which will allow you to make an application as a Sportsperson.
How much does it cost to apply for a Tier 2 (Sportsperson) visa?
Are there any restrictions to what I can do in the UK?
if you are playing for your national side whilst you are in the UK, playing in British University and College Sport (BUCS) competitions, or doing temporary additional work as a sports broadcaster.
You can study, provided this does not interfere with the job you have been sponsored to do. You can study anywhere you choose and you do not have to study with a sponsor registered under Tier 4 of the points-based system.
You must be able to understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases, to introduce yourself and others, and to ask and answer questions about very basic personal details. This must be equivalent to level A1 or above of the Council of Europe's Common European Framework for Language Learning.
What documents must I provide during my visa application?
Additional documents may be required depending on the country you will be applying form (or the visa you will be switching from if applying from within the UK) and if your family members are also applying with you as your dependants.
Can I extend my Sportsperson visa, and if so how long does it take?
Yes, you can extend your Sportsperson visa to stay for upto a maximum of 6 years in this category. Processing times will depend on the chosen method of submission. Standard applications can take upto 8 weeks, priority applications can take around 10 working days and super priority applications are normally decided within 24 hours. Home Office processing times are not guaranteed and are subject to change.
Can I switch from Tier 2 to another visa category?
Yes, you may be able to switch into a different category depending on your circumstances. However, some categories may prohibit you from working as a professional sportsperson or sports coach.
Are my family members eligible to join me in the UK?
Can I work a second job if I am in the UK on a Tier 2 (Sportsperson) visa?
outside of the normal working hours for which your Certificate of Sponsorship was assigned.
You can also undertake voluntary work in any sector. You must not be paid for your work, other than being reimbursed for reasonable expenses.
If you wish to undertake additional work not covered by supplementary or voluntary work you will need to obtain prior authorisation first. Any secondary employment must be with a licensed sponsor and you will need a new Certificate of Sponsorship from that sponsor. This application will be considered separately from your first application and must meet the full Tier 2 criteria by itself. You must meet all the points requirements, which may include your new sponsor carrying out a resident labour market test.
You may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain after spending a continuous period of 5 years in the UK.
How can I reduce the possibility of my Sportsperson visa being refused?
Requirements under the points-based system (PBS) are very prescriptive. It is therefore important to ensure your application is prepared carefully so that any small errors do not result in your application being refused.

I'm a new player but getting along ok. However, I cannot figure out where to spend the gold coins. Thanks.
You can spend gold at the cs(consignment shop) in balefort castle. This can be found on the world map. Some vendors in town and other players can also trade with you. I recommend you save up your gold as you will need them later on in the game.
Thanks. I hadn't gotten that far yet!

Japanese customizers give the big Bentley the cotton-candy treatment.
Fans of the crazed Japanese tuning company Office-K may remember the Rolls-Royce Phantom it turned pink several months ago. Mansory's done the same with a Bentley Continental GT, but this time Office-K is back with the top-of-the-line Mulsanne. Finished in a a shade we'll call Metallic Pepto, the custom Mulsanne features has been outfitted with LED daytime running lights and a set of Forgiato DITO 24-inch three-piece wheels with chrome face and pink details. Outlandish it is, subtle it is not.

Mauritania, Philippines and Australia apply for better protection for marine World Heritage sites at International Maritime Organisation
Statement of Mauritania. © UNESCO / UNESCO
Worldwide shipping traffic has increased 300% since 1992, and this growing industry does not leave World Heritage marine sites immune to its impact.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO)—the United Nations specialized agency with responsibility for the safety and security of shipping and the prevention of marine pollution by ships—can provide special protections for particularly vulnerable areas. The World Heritage Marine Programme has been working closely together with both Mauritania and the Philippines over the past years in the lead up to the official launch at last week's IMO meeting.
The IMO met in London from 11 to 15 May 2015, and the World Heritage Marine Programme was there to support the governments of the Philippines and Mauritania in obtaining better protection against maritime pollution for their respective World Heritage sites. Preparation of the full application dossier and preparatory negotiations with IMO members are now commencing in view of obtaining the actual designation of the respective marine World Heritage sites.
The London-based IMO can designate places that are recognized for globally significant marine ecology as "Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas" (PSSA) to reduce their vulnerability to damage from international maritime activities. Today World Heritage sites comprise, or protect waters adjacent to, six of the 14 PSSAs worldwide, including: Papahānaumokuākea (USA), Malpelo Fauna and Flora Sanctuary (Colombia), Galápagos Islands (Ecuador), Everglades National Park (USA), Wadden Sea (Denmark, Germany, Netherlands) and the Great Barrier Reef (Australia).
The World Heritage Committee recognizes the potential threats posed by increased shipping activity and is working with World Heritage sites to secure special protections where needed most urgently. In 2011, the World Heritage Committee, in Decision 35COM 7B.17, urged the Philippines to expedite its application for special protections for the Sulu Sea. In 2014, the World Heritage Committee, in Decision 38COM 7B.62, requested that the Government of Mauritania submit a request to designate the Banc d'Arguin region as a PSSA.
Following several groundings in Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park last year, the Philippine government officially launched its application for PSSA status of its World Heritage Site during a special event at last week's IMO meeting.
If successful, Banc d'Arguin National Park with its unique but fragile marine ecosystem and migratory bird population would be the first PSSA on the African continent. Mr. Babana M'hamed, Director of Mauritania's Merchant Navy, officially launched his Governments intention to apply for PSSA designation for the waters adjacent to the Banc d'Arguin National Park.
The Australian government also presented its application to extend the Great Barrier Reef PSSA to cover key parts of the Coral Sea

Decision: 38COM 7B.62
Having examined Document WHC-14/38.COM/7B.Add,
Recalling Decision 37 COM 7B.8 adopted at its 37th session (Phnom Penh, 2013),
Welcomes the significant progress achieved by the State Party and its partners since the inscription of the property in terms of its protection and management, in particular the strengthening of its legal framework, the creation of a functional management authority and management system and the management of fishing inside the property which restricts fishing to the local Imraguen communities using only traditional methods and an efficient surveillance system;
Takes note of the conclusion of the reactive monitoring mission that so far, the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of the property has been preserved in part thanks to its isolation but that the region is undergoing rapid changes characterized by numerous planned infrastructure developments;
Notes with concern the many infrastructure projects being developed around the property, which could potentially impact on its OUV, and requests the State Party not to authorize infrastructure inside the property or in its vicinity, without having conducted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in conformity with IUCN's "World Heritage Advice Note: Environmental Assessment" and to ensure that all EIAs are validated by the Scientific Council of the property and submitted to the World Heritage Centre prior to making any decisions that would be difficult to reverse, in accordance with Paragraph 172 of the Operational Guidelines ;
Expresses its utmost concern about the road to Mamghar, which presents a serious threat to the integrity of the property and is impacting on its cultural values, and urges the State Party to ensure that its use is restricted to mitigate its impact and that a system of control of access to the property is put in place;
Also requests the State Party to ensure that the draft EIA for the water sourcing system linked to the extension of the Tasiast mine is completed to assess its potential impacts on the OUV of the property, and submitted to the World Heritage Centre prior to making any decisions that would be difficult to reverse, in accordance with Paragraph 172 of the Operational Guidelines;

After the game, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said he was looking for an opening to call the fake in recent weeks.
"We have had that up for a long time, and haven't had the right opportunity to call it," Malzahn said. "I thought that was a big play in the game too. It was a pretty close game at the time. It was like fourth and seven. I don't think we have faked a punt in three years around here. So it caught them off guard."
Auburn went on to score a touchdown on the drive to take a 14-7 lead. The Tigers would score on four straight possessions to put the game out of reach.
Phillips credited the element of surprise as a key factor in getting the play call to work for a 24-yard gain.
"We kind of knew it was coming," Phillips said. "We had a feeling the play call would work, we had it in the play book for a while."
Phillip said as soon as he bounced around the left side of the offensive line he saw "green grass."
The play helped overshadow what was one of Phillip's more uneven games kicking the ball. His average of 37 yards on five kicks was more than four yards less than his season average and he didn't land a single kick inside the 20-yard line.
While Phillips first carry since high school gives him one of the best yards per carry average on the team, the junior college transfer doesn't think the coaching staff will be eager to give him that many more opportunities.
"Definitely not in my future," Phillips said with a smile.

Q: How to change texture.png after 3d.obj was placed in the surface using ARCORE? I've four types of texture.png for one 3d.obj file. How to change texture.png after 3d.obj was placed in the surface, like color changing functionality for ARCORE?
Does anyone have any idea?

A: You can change the texture of the object.  Assuming you are looking at the hello_ar_java sample, you can add a method to ObjectRenderer:
  public void setTextureOnGLThread(Bitmap textureBitmap) {
    // Bind the texture name already allocated.
    GLES20.glBindTexture(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_2D, textures[0]);
    // Set the filtering for handling different sizes to render.
    GLES20.glTexParameteri(
            GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GLES20.GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR);
    GLES20.glTexParameteri(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GLES20.GL_LINEAR);

    // Copy the bitmap contents into the texture buffer.
    GLUtils.texImage2D(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, textureBitmap, 0);

    // Generate the mip map for the different sizes.
    GLES20.glGenerateMipmap(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_2D);

    // Unbind the texture.
    GLES20.glBindTexture(GLES20.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0);
  }

You need to call this from the GL thread, for example from onDrawFrame().

'I'd be lying if I said the journey had been an easy one': Alex Trebek reflects on cancer diagnosis 1 year later
Updated: 3:51 AM CST Mar 5, 2020
National Desk Staff
It's been a year since Alex Trebek was diagnosed with Stage four pancreatic cancer. Jeopardy Host is now speaking out. The 79 year old released an online video saying the one year survival rate for Stage four pancreatic cancer patients is 18%. I'm very happy to report I have just reached that marker, he added. There were moments of great pain days when certain bodily functions no longer function and sudden, massive attacks of great Depression that made me wonder if it really was worth fighting on. So what kept him going? Trebek says, his wife and all the fans who said millions of prayers. Trebek also says the two year survival rate of Stage four pancreatic cancer is only 7% but he is confident he can overcome it. His plan is to take it one day at a time.
'Jeopardy!' host Alex Trebek announced Wednesday he had reached the one year survival mark since he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer."The one-year survival rate for stage 4 pancreatic cancer patients is 18%," Trebek said in the video announcement. "I'm very happy to report I have just reached that marker."The beloved game show host revealed last March that he had been diagnosed with the disease. The 5-year survival rate for those with Trebek's kind of cancer is just 9%, according to the American Cancer Society.The 79-year-old said the last year hasn't always been easy. "Now I'd be lying if I said the journey had been an easy one," he said. "There were some good days but a lot of not-so-good days. I joked with friends that the cancer won't kill me; the chemo treatments will."Trebek said that the support from his family and his fans has pushed him through the dark days. Trebek's oncologist is predicting they'll be celebrating his second-year survival anniversary."You know something, if I, no, if we – because so many of us are involved in this same situation – if we take it just one day at a time with a positive attitude, anything is possible," he said.

That, of course, was a telegram message. Actually a fairly long one, sent from Vorden, Sacramento County, California to New York on November 18th, 1909.
The sender was Helen Adelaide Ellsworth van Loben Sels to her parents Helen and William Webster Ellsworth. It was chased by both a postcard and a much longer letter of several pages. The house in question was 'the White Home' the main house on their ranch.
She writes in her letter, "Dear Family don't worry about me. I wanted thrills of course. It is hard luck but I never can say I'm not getting them. How those flames did lick things in, Glory! Nell was sleeping on the porch (outside) under me. If she hadn't been there there might have been no more us. She was awakened by the crackling in the office, had time enough to run up to call me, and that's all, and if the office door had been open there wouldn't have been time for that. "life, Genevieve, is a dream, Genevieve" with some nightmare mixed in for good measure.
And to top it off, H.A.E had two little girls (4 and 2) and I'm unclear on her 3rd child who was a boy born in early 1910, I think. She was probably pregnant when she wrote this letter, but the baby may have already been born. I don't think he survived a year. By late November 1910, a year after the letter, she had her 4th, who was my grandfather: Maurits Justus vLS. She did a remarkable job of keeping her head up during lots of trials. When it wasn't a house file, it was flooding from the Sacramento River.
The more I learn about H.A.E. the more impressed I am. I also have a letter here that she wrote describing a near riot by the farm workers in 1908; she seems to have had, as it used to be said, a good head on her shoulders!
I didn't know about the dates of her children, she would have been heavily pregnant at the time of the fire then.

\section{Introduction}
A stellar system consists of a small number of stars that are gravitationally bound and revolve each other around their center of mass.
Since the stars in such a system are born nearly at the same time within a given space and evolve with interaction each other,
they are important objects for understanding the stellar formation and dynamical evolution.
The updated multiple star catalogue \citep[MSC;][]{tokovinin1997} contains totally 1,359 stellar systems of multiplicity 3 to 7 in 2010  (at http://www.ctio.noao.edu/\textasciitilde{}atokovin/).
Among the most frequent triple stars, triply eclipsing hierarchical triple systems are very rare and fascinating to show
peculiar light variations caused by the distant third component passing across the close eclipsing binary.
To our knowledge, these tertiary eclipsing signals have been detected only in three systems, HD 181068 \citep{derekas2011},
KOI-126 \citep{carter2011}, and KIC 2856960 \citep{armstrong2012,jwlee2013}, all from the $Kepler$ space telescope.

Another interesting object is a doubly eclipsing multiple system, which consists of at least two eclipsing binaries.
We can investigate their physical characteristics in detail because the stellar mass and radius for each component are
accurately and directly derived from both spectroscopic and photometric observations.
They are also rare and only a handful of systems have been discovered (\citealp[ADS 9537AB,][]{batten1965}; \citealp[V994 Her,][]{leecu2008};
\citealp[OGLE LMC-ECL-16549,][]{graczyk2011}; \citealp[KIC 4247791,][]{lehmann2012}; \citealp[CzeV343,][]{cagas2012}).
On the other hand, \citet{ofir2008} detected two eclipsing light variations with periods of about 3.58 and 5.37 days
in the object OGLE J051343.14$-$691837.1 (= BI 108), which is located at the open cluster NGC 1881 in the Large Magellanic Cloud.
He suggested that the object is a compact hierarchical system of two eclipsing binary pairs in a 3:2 resonance.
Later, \citet{kolaczkowski2013} performed spectroscopic observations and confirmed radial velocity variations by the longer period binary.
However, unexpectedly no spectral feature by the shorter period binary was detected.
Although its origin of variability may remain unclear, they suggested that the most plausible hypothesis is a doubly eclipsing quadruple system
with the binary orbital period ratio of precise 3:2 by chance or by unknown dynamical reasons.

Recently, \citet{lohr2013} reported the discovery of a new doubly eclipsing multiple system
1SWASP J093010.78+533859.5 (hereafter J093010) from the SuperWASP \citep[Wide Angle Search for Planets,][]{pollacco2006} archive.
The folded light curves with two periods ($\sim$0.2277 and $\sim$1.3055 days) show typical shapes of the contact and detached eclipsing binaries, respectively.
The J093010 has been known to be a visual binary, TYC 3807-759-1 (hereafter J093010A) and TYC 3807-759-2 (hereafter J093010B), separated by 1.9 arcsec.
Although the SuperWASP data could not resolve these two objects, \citet{lohr2013} suggested that the light variations originated from a
doubly eclipsing quadruple system. They calculated the separation between the two binaries to be 66.1 AU, by applying the distance of 35 pc
estimated from the  photometric parallax by \citet{agueros2009}, and derived their meta-orbital period to be $\sim$400 years.
It should be noted that the proper motion from the Tycho was measured at the photocenter of J093010 \citep[][]{fabricius2002},
not for two individual objects. It may still be uncertain, therefore, whether the two objects are gravitationally bound.

In this study, we investigated the hierarchical structure of the multiple system J093010 and the physical properties of each component in detail
from the follow-up spectroscopic and photometric observations.
In Section 2, we describe the follow-up observations.
The data analysis and modeling are represented in Sections 3 and 4, respectively.
Finally, the summary and discussion are given in Section 5.

\section{Observations}

High-resolution spectroscopic observations were performed to measure the radial velocity (RV) of each component.
Spectra of J093010 were obtained from 2012 November to 2013 March
by using the fiber-fed spectrograph BOES \citep[Bohyunsan Optical Echelle Spectrograph;][]{kim2007}
attached to the 1.8 m reflector at BOAO (Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory) in Korea.
The BOES has a long-term stability of about 6.8 m s$^{-1}$ by observing the RV standard star $\tau$ Ceti \citep{bclee2012}.
Since the object is not bright enough to get high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) spectra, we selected the 2$\times$2 binning mode and the largest fiber with a diameter of 300 $\mu m$, corresponding to a field of view (FOV) of 4.3 arcsec and a resolving power of R = 30,000.
The observed spectra could be contaminated by sky light or neighbouring stars due to a large size fiber.
But there is no bright object within 1.0 arcmin (see Figure \ref{Fig1}) and the sky was not bright enough to contaminate the spectra during observations.
Exposure time was mostly set to be 20 minutes considering the period for the contact binary and the luminosity of fainter object.
However, it is not short enough to avoid motion blur of the spectral lines for the contact binary.
We additionally obtained one spectrum for each object by using the smallest fiber of 80 $\mu m$ diameter (R = 90,000) with 1.1 arcsec FOV on
3$\times$3 binning mode under good weather conditions.
The resulting SNR of the spectra at the region of $\sim$5500$\rm{\AA}$ was around 30.
Th-Ar Arc and Tungsten-Halogen lamps were taken for wavelength calibration and flat correction.

Photometric observations were carried out using the 4k CCD camera attached to a 1.0 m telescope at LOAO (Mount Lemmon Optical Astronomy Observatory) in Arizona, USA,
in 2012 December and 2013 January/February. Detailed information of the telescope and detector can be found in \citet{lee2012}. The logs for spectroscopic and photometric observations are listed in Table \ref{tab0}.

\section{Data Analysis}

The basic reductions such as bias subtraction and flat field correction were performed for spectroscopic and photometric data using IRAF packages.
Figure \ref{Fig1} displays a sample of $V$ band images and a zoomed image of J093010 to show two objects with a separation of 1.9 arcsec.
We applied PSF (Point Spread Function) fitting photometry using IRAF/DAOPHOT to obtain instrumental magnitudes for each object.
Then, differential photometry was performed with TYC 3807-54-1 as a comparison star, which was selected by considering the color, brightness and constancy in apparent light.
Table \ref{tab1} lists the results of differential photometry.
We classified that the brighter object J093010A is an Algol-type and the fainter J093010B is a W UMa-type eclipsing binary.
The folded light curves of each object are shown in Figure \ref{Fig2}. In this paper, we excluded data points that showed an unreasonably large deviation compared to neighbouring ones.

The times for the eclipsing minimum and their errors were determined via the method of \citet{kwee1956}, and listed in Tables \ref{tab2} and \ref{tab3}.
By introducing all minimum times in the tables into a linear least-squares fit, we determined the light ephemeris of our observations for
J093010A and J093010B to be
\begin{equation}\label{eq1}
{\rm Min. ~I} = {\rm HJD ~} 2456346.7849(15)+ 1.305502(41)E
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}\label{eq2}
{\rm Min. ~I} = {\rm HJD ~} 2456267.92908(22)+ 0.2277135(16)E,
\end{equation}
respectively, where $E$ is the number of orbital cycles that elapsed from the reference epoch and the parenthesized numbers are
the standard errors for the last digits of each term of the ephemeris.
We independently derived each light element from light-curve synthesis, which used all data points and included spot parameters, in the following section.
The periods of each binary are almost same with those presented by \citet{lohr2013} in spite of our shorter time span.

We detected three components from the observed spectra of J093010, which were easily identified at Figure \ref{Fig3}.
Broad lines from two components shifted blueward or redward periodically with an orbital phase of J093010A while the other relatively sharp lines stayed to be constant.
At the H$\alpha$ 6563 \AA\, region, the emissions are shown from the secondary component of J093010A, but clear signals of either the absorption or
emission are absent for the primary component.
These features might be the result of the quantitatively balanced emission with the absorption of the primary component.
In the spectra, any line for the fainter object J093010B was not detected.
We tried to identify the components from each spectrum that was obtained with a smaller fiber (80 $\mu m$).
Three components were detected in the spectrum of J093010A. However, it was difficult to identify any component in
the spectrum of J093010B, probably due to its rotational broadening and motion blur by relatively long exposure time.
This indicates that all three components detected from the time-series spectra are members of the brighter object J093010A.

We applied the line depth ratio (LDR) to estimate the temperature for the stationary component.
\citet{catalano2002} presented many correlations between the LDRs of line pairs and effective temperatures.
Among them, we chose the line pairs of $\lambda$6199 V ${\rm I}$ -- $\lambda$6200 Fe ${\rm I}$,
$\lambda$6252 V ${\rm I}$ -- $\lambda$6253 Fe ${\rm I}$, and $\lambda$6266 V ${\rm I}$ -- $\lambda$6265 Fe ${\rm I}$ with a relatively tight correlation.
Selected spectra from the $\lambda$6200 region were combined to avoid the blending of J093010A.
The averaged effective temperature of T$_{\rm{eff}} \approx$  4,760 $\pm$ 100 K was derived.

Synthetic spectra were calculated using the stellar atmospheric model of \citet{kurucz1993} and the GNU-Linux version
of the ATLAS9/SYNTHE code given by \citet{sbordone2004} and \citet{sbordone2005}.
The synthetic spectrum, adopting the solar metal abundance, T$_{\rm{eff}}$ = 4,750 K, log $g$ = 4.5, and $v\sin i$ = 4 km s$^{-1}$,
was comparable to the observed one of the stationary component.
The LDR for the other two components was not suitable because the absorption lines were broad and blended with each other.
The observed spectra of the primary component appeared to be similar to the synthetic spectrum of T$_{\rm{eff}}$ $\approx$ 5,000 K.
The temperature is consistent with the color index discussed in the following section.

Although the cross-correlation function (CCF) technique is a standard method to determine the RV, we could not examine the CCF
because the primary and secondary spectra were broadened by their rotations and blended with each other in almost all phases.
Instead, line-profile fitting using three Gaussian functions was applied to the isolated absorption lines ($\lambda$6431, $\lambda$6439 and $\lambda$6678 Fe ${\rm I}$, $\lambda$6644 Ni ${\rm I}$ and $\lambda$6718 Ca ${\rm I}$).
The fitting was performed with MPFIT \citep{markwardt2009}.
Figure \ref{Fig4} displays selected samples of fitting for $\lambda$6678 Fe ${\rm I}$ lines.
Since the spectra near eclipses are heavily blended with each other, our measured RVs near the phase of $\phi \sim$ 0.5 contain large uncertainties (Figure \ref{Fig5}).
The averaged RVs and their standard deviations of the each component are listed in Table \ref{tab4} and displayed in Figure \ref{Fig5} with the fitted model velocities. The system velocity ($\gamma_{0}$) and semi-amplitudes ($K_{\rm 1}$ and $K_{\rm 2}$) of the velocity curve were measured to be $-$10.1, 99.4, and 118.2 km s$^{-1}$, respectively.
The RVs of the third component are almost constant ($-$7.1 $\pm$ 0.6 km s$^{-1}$) within their errors.

\section{Data Modeling}

Light-curve syntheses of J093010A and J093010B were performed using the 2003 version of the Wilson-Devinney synthesis code
\citep[][hereafter W-D code]{wilson1971}. From the Tycho-2 Catalogue \citep{hog2000}, the color indices are given
as ($B-V$)$_{\rm A}$= +0.85 $\pm$ 0.05 for J093010A and ($B-V$)$_{\rm B}$ = +0.83 $\pm$ 0.13 for J093010B. The Tycho data
may not be accurate due to the blending of two systems and there is no information of orbital phases for the measurements.
Therefore, we tried to get more accurate magnitudes and color indices for each object by using our photometric data.
In order to normalize instrumental magnitudes, we applied an ensemble normalization technique \citep{gilliland1988} following
the same procedure as that used by \citet{kim2001}. Secondary standard stars were selected from the UCAC4 catalogue \citep{zacharias2013}.
Table \ref{tab5} lists the standard magnitudes and color indices at the maxima and minima of two eclipsing binaries,
and their errors are standard deviations for the measurements around the selected phases. The maxima of J093010A are located
near the phase 0.55. The de-reddened colors are derived after adopting $E$($B-V$) = $+$0.01 following \citet{schlafly2011}.

We assumed the gravity-darkening exponents and bolometric albedoes to be $g$ = 0.32 \citep{lucy1967} and $A$ = 0.5 \citep{rucinski1969},
respectively, which is appropriate for stars with convective envelopes. The square root bolometric ($X$, $Y$) and
monochromatic ($x$, $y$) limb-darkening coefficients were interpolated from the values of \citet{van1993} in concert with
the model atmosphere option. Furthermore, spot models were added to fit light variations and the third light source ($l_3$)
was considered throughout the analyses. The light-curve syntheses for two binaries were repeated until the correction of each parameter become smaller
than its standard deviation by using the differential correction (DC) program of the W-D code. The values with parenthesized errors
in Tables \ref{tab6} and \ref{tab7} signify adjusted parameters. The subscripts 1 and 2 refer to the primary and secondary stars eclipsed
at Min I (at phase 0.0) and Min II, respectively.

The DC program of the W-D code produces the error estimates computed from the covariance matrix evaluated around best-fitting
model light curve. But, it should be noted that the errors are unrealistically small because of the strong correlations
between parameters \citep{maceroni1997,southworth2011}. In order to estimate more reliable errors, we followed
the procedure described by \citet{southworth2011}. First of all, the LOAO data for each object were splitted into five subsets
and fitted with the W-D code individually. Then, we calculated the standard deviations for the adjusted parameters, which were
not divided by the square root of the number of estimates for each parameter. Those values are close to the formal errors
yielded by the W-D code from all observations. The error estimates presented in Tables \ref{tab6} and \ref{tab7} are adopted from the larger of
the two values.

\subsection{J093010A}

The light curves of J093010A display sharp eclipses and two light maxima are displaced around the secondary eclipse.
However, the maxima were shown at just before and after the primary eclipse in the light curves given by \citet{lohr2013}.
In low-mass detached binaries, cool starspots produced by magnetic dynamo-related activity might be the reason for the
seasonal light variations \citep[e.g., NSVS 02502726,][]{lee2013}. In order to obtain a unique binary solution,
we simultaneously analyzed the RV and light curves in a manner similar to
that for NSVS 02502726. The W-D code was applied to the light curves normalized to unit light at phase 0.55.

Our analyses have been carried out through two stages: For the first stage, the RV and light curves were solved without spots.
The result for this unspotted model is listed in the columns (2)$-$(3) of Table \ref{tab6} and plotted as dashed curves in Figure \ref{Fig2},
where the computed light curves do not fit well with the LOAO observations. In the second stage, the spot parameters were
included as additional parameters. There is, at present, no way to know which spot model is more efficient in creating
the light variations other than by complete light-curve analysis. Firstly, we tested a single spot on either binary component
of J093010A. The results improve the light-curve fitting partly but large discrepancies still remain. This may indicate
the existence of a (or some) further spot(s). Final results are given in the columns (4)$-$(5) of Table \ref{tab6}.
The synthetic light curves from our model are plotted as solid curves in the upper part of Figure \ref{Fig2}, while
the synthetic RV curves are plotted in Figure \ref{Fig5}. As shown in the figures, the two-spot model with one cool spot
on each component describes the conspicuous light variations of the system quite well. Separate trials for
the other spot configurations were not so successful as was our model and even three-spot models do not give a better fit
than do the two-spot model. In all the procedures, we included an orbital eccentricity for the binary orbit as a free parameter,
but found that the parameter remained zero within its error.

The light and RV solutions represent the eclipsing pair of J093010A as a well-detached binary: the primary and
secondary components fill 41.8\% and 46.7\% of their inner Roche lobes, respectively. This implies that there is
no mass transfer between the two component stars. The third component has a light contribution of about 30\% and was detected
at spectroscopic spectra. As a result, we obtained the absolute dimensions for the eclipsing pair given in the columns (2)$-$(3)
of Table 9. The radii are the mean volume radii calculated from the tables of \citet{mochnacki1984} and the luminosity ($L$)
was computed by adopting $T_{\rm eff}$$_\odot$ = 5,780 K and $M_{\rm bol}$$_\odot$ = +4.73 for solar values.
The bolometric corrections (BCs) were obtained from the relation between $\log T_{\rm eff}$ and BC given by \citet{torres2010}.
With the brightest apparent visual magnitude of $V$ = 9.70 $\pm$ 0.02, our computed light ratio, and
the interstellar reddening of $A_{\rm V}$ = 0.03, we calculated the distance to the system to be 66 pc.

\subsection{J093010B}

The light curves of J093010B are the typical shape of a short period overcontact binary and show a flat bottom at
the secondary minimum, indicating that this system belongs to the A-type of W UMa stars. Further, our observations display
the O'Connell effect that Max I is brighter than Max II by 0.095 and 0.074 mag for the $B$ and $V$ bandpasses, respectively.
These phenomena have been commonly reported for light curves of W UMa-type binaries and can be explained by the spot activity
from magnetic dynamo and/or impact from mass transfer between components \citep[e.g., TU Boo,][]{lee2007}. Since no spectra
of J093010B were detected, its light curves were analyzed in a manner similar to that for V432 Per \citep{lee2008} using
the so-called $q$-search procedure.

To derive the mass ratio of the system, we calculated an intensive $q$-search for a series of models over the range of $q \le$ 1.0
for two cases: with and without spot model. From the $q$-search results, the optimal solution is around $q$ = 0.45, which was
treated as an adjustable parameter in all subsequent syntheses deriving binary parameters. As in the case of J093010A,
various spot models were examined to explain the light discrepancy. The results are listed in Table \ref{tab7} and displayed in
the lower part of Figure \ref{Fig2} with the dashed and solid curves. In the figure, the asymmetrical light curves are best
modeled using a two-spot model with both a cool spot on the primary star and a hot spot on the secondary. The cool spot may have
been formed by a magnetic dynamo, whereas the hot spot may have been produced by impact from mass transfer between the components.

Our light-curve solutions indicate that J093010B is an overcontact binary with a mass ratio of $q$ = 0.468, an orbital inclination
of $i$ = 87$^\circ$.0, a fill-out factor of $f$ = 21\%, and a third light source of $l_3$ = 4$\sim$5\%. Here,
$f$ = ($\Omega_{\rm in}$--$\Omega$)/($\Omega_{\rm in}$--$\Omega_{\rm out}$), where the potentials
$\Omega_{\rm in}$ and $\Omega_{\rm out}$ define the inner and outer critical surfaces in Roche geometry and $\Omega$ is
the potential corresponding to the surface of the overcontact binary. The effective temperature of the primary component was
estimated at the secondary eclipse phase where only the primary is visible. It corresponds to a normal main-sequence star with
a spectral type of about K3. We estimated the absolute dimensions for J093010B using our photometric solution and
\citet{harmanec1988}'s relation between the spectral type and stellar mass. The results are given in the columns (4)$-$(5)
of Table \ref{tab8}, where the distance to the system of about 77 pc was calculated using the brightest apparent visual magnitude of
$V$ = 10.62 $\pm$ 0.02 and the computed light ratio at phase 0.25.

\section{Summary and Discussion}
We performed photometric and spectroscopic follow-up observations for J093010 showing dual types of light curves.
Our PSF photometry revealed the brighter object J093010A to be an Algol-type eclipsing binary and the fainter J093010B to be a W UMa-type eclipsing binary.
Furthermore, the third component of J093010A was detected via spectroscopic observations and its light contribution was calculated to be about 30\%.
However, we could not detect any line in the spectra of J093010B probably due to relatively long exposure time to its orbital period.
The RVs of J093010A were measured and its absolute dimensions were derived from the simultaneous analysis of light curves and RVs.
The masses and radii of the components were found with an accuracy of $\sim$2\% and $\sim$1\%, respectively.

We compared our accurate physical parameters of J093010A with Dartmouth Stellar Evolution Program (DSEP) models \citep{dotter2008}.
First, several evolutionary tracks with different metallicities were compared to the position of the primary component in the HR diagram.
In the upper panel of Figure \ref{Fig6}, three evolutionary tracks of  M = 0.75 M$_\odot$ are displayed on the HR diagram.
The primary component is on the track of [Fe/H] = $-$0.25 (dashed line). Assuming the same metal abundances of two components,
the secondary star (M = 0.644 M$_\odot$) is located on the right-hand side of the track for [Fe/H] = $-$0.25 and M = 0.65 M$_\odot$.
We marked the positions of 9, 11, and 13 Gyr with filled circles in the panel.
We also compared our parameters of J093010A with the empirical mass-radius relation from well-studied detached binaries (from DEBCat at http://www.astro.keele.ac.uk/jkt/debcat/).
While the primary component is on the typical trend of main-sequence stars and on the isochrone of Age = 11 Gyr and [Fe/H] = $-$0.25,
the secondary component has a larger radius than typical ones and is on quite above the isochrone (see lower panel of Figure \ref{Fig6}).
From the locations on the figure, the secondary component of J093010A has a relatively larger size and lower surface temperature than
those expected from the model and empirical data.
The main reason for these disagreements might be associated with the magnetic activities that caused the cool spot on the surface and H$\alpha$ emissions \citep{torres2013}.
Chromospheric active stars showing H$\alpha$ emission (see Figure \ref{Fig3}) have
a lower T$_{\rm{eff}}$ and larger radius relative to both the theoretical isochrones and the non-active stars \citep{stassun2012}.
All these magnetic activities and changes of the light maximum are well-known characteristics of RS CVn type systems.
The count rate in the X-ray band (0.1 - 2.4 keV) for J093010 is 0.433 counts s$^{-1}$ \citep{voges1999} and
the corresponding X-ray luminosity is calculated to be $\sim$10$^{30}$ ergs s$^{-1}$, assuming the distance of 70 pc.
This value is in the typical range for the RS CVn systems \citep{dempsey1993}.

\citet{lohr2013} suggested J093010 to be a quadruple system that consists of two binaries with a common proper motion.
As noted in the Tycho Double Star Catalogue \citep{fabricius2002}, it is the photocentre proper motion for a close double which was neither resolved in Tycho-2 nor measured individually.
We calculated the distances to each binary to be 66 $\pm$ 7 and 77 $\pm$ 9 pc, respectively.
The value for J093010B was estimated from an empirical relation between the temperature and stellar mass,
and hence the error may be larger than the presented one.
Two eclipsing binaries have almost same inclinations, similar masses and spectral types, which
seem to be located at the same distance and to be gravitationally bound.
The distance to the third component of J093010A, assuming a main-sequence star, is also comparable to those of the two binaries.
Moreover, the system velocity of the Algol-type binary is almost consistent with the RVs of the stationary component. This means that the third body is possibly bound to the eclipsing pair.
In conclusion, we suggest that J093010 is a possible quintuple system with a hierarchical structure of a triple A(ab)c and a binary B(ab).
Assuming that the distance to the system is 70 pc and the mass of the third component of J093010A is 0.7 M$_\odot$, the separation and meta-orbital period between the two systems (J093010A and B) are calculated to be $\sim$130 AU and $\sim$850 years, respectively.
While the RVs for the third component of J093010A seem to have slightly decreased by about 1 km s$^{-1}$ during our observation interval of $\sim$100 days,
the corresponding increment ($\sim$0.5 km s$^{-1}$) of system velocities for J093010A(ab) was too small to measure.
High-precision and long-term observations are required to detect the variations.
In addition, the spectroscopic observations for J093010B will be helpful to obtain more accurate physical parameters and distance to the binary.

Nepal is now home to 752 one horned rhino
Nepal's Greater One Horned Rhinoceros population has shown a promising 16% increment as indicated by the results of the National Rhino Count 2021 – a process undertaken by the Government of Nepal every five years. The current population of the species stands at 752 individuals (Parsa National Park 3, Chitwan National Park 694, Bardia National Park 38, Shuklaphanta National Park 17) compared to the 2015 estimate of 645 in Nepal's Terai Arc Landscape. This achievement marks the highest population size achieved since the establishment of the first protected area in the country in the 1970s, demonstrating the success and management effectiveness of conservation efforts of the species. While the species is still threatened by illegal wildlife trade, water pollution upstream, and habitat destruction, the rhino count indicates that efforts are headed in the right direction
The greater one-horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis), also known as the Indian rhinoceros, is a grey giant, second only to an elephant in size. An adult rhino usually weighs between 2-2.5 metric tonnes. Rhinos usually lead a solitary life, but they may also graze and wallow together. Calves follow their mothers for 1-3 years. Females are sexually mature between 5 and 7 years old, while males mature at about 10 years of age.
The greater one-horned rhinoceros is commonly found only in South Asia and South East Asia. Historically, the rhinos were distributed in the floodplain and forest tracts in Brahmaputra, Ganges and Indus river valley. Presently, no more than 2,000 remain in the wild, with only two populations containing more than 100 rhinos. They are Kaziranga National Park in Assam, India (1,200) and Chitwan National Park, Nepal (600).
Despite joint efforts between Bhutan and India, the survival of a small population of rhinos living along the Indo-Bhutan border in Manas still remains doubtful.
In Nepal, the rhino population was estimated 1,000 in the Chitwan valley until 1950. The area was well protected by the then Rana rulers for sport hunting. It was also secure from outsiders since malaria was rampant. Only a few indigenous communities like the Tharus, who are immune to the disease, lived there. Their impact on the natural environment was negligible.
After the collapse of the Rana regime in 1950 and the eradication of malaria during the mid-1950s, Chitwan opened to outsiders. Thousands of people came down from the mid-hills and large swathes of wildlife habitat was cleared for human settlements, agriculture and other development activities. This not only destroyed the forest but also affected the wildlife population because of poaching. This affected mainly large mammals including rhinos and as a result, the rhino population dropped to less than 100 during the late 1960s. Recognizing the need to halt the decline of rapidly diminishing rhino population, Government of Nepal established the " Gainda Gasti ", an armed Rhino Patrol Unit in 1961, and declared the remaining prime rhino habitats, about 544 sq km along Rapti, Narayani and Reu rivers, as the Chitwan National Park in 1973.
The park was later extended to encompass a total area of 932 sq km and was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1984 for its high biological diversity. After the successful effort of the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation (DNPWC), the declining rhino population began to gradually increase. The CNP demonstrated that the population can rebound vigorously when sufficient habitat and protection are provided. It is an example of a population that was almost on the verge of extinction that has recovered while still maintaining a high genetic diversity. Rhino Habitat Rhinos inhabit the alluvial flood-plain vegetation of sub-tropical climates where water and green grass is available all year. Many rhinos now live within blocks of the suitable rhino habitat in CNP. Rhinos occurred in highest densities along the flood plain grasslands and riverine forests bordering the Rapti, Narayani, Reu, and Dhungre rivers, suggesting that floodplain grasslands dominated by 4-6 m tall Saccharum spontanium are the single most critical habitat. Grasslands interspersed with patches of riverine forests together make about 30% of the park area and have Saccharum spp., Narenga spp., and Themeda spp. This grass species is the fundamental food resource of rhinos comprising more than 60% of the animal diet. Due to the flood and vegetation succession, the grassland may have decreased. Sal Shorea robusta forest associated with species such as Dillenniapentagyna, Syzigiumcumini, Trijugaoleofera, Lagerstromiaparviflora, Terminaliatomentosa, T. bellerica, and Phyllanthusemblica comprise 70% of the park area and are seldom eaten by rhinos. Inundation by regular flooding of the alluvial plains along major rivers creates conditions favourable for the quick appearance of sprouts and germination to maintain the dominance of Saccharumspontaneum. This makes the monsoon flood very critical for maintaining rhino habitat. Oxbow lakes and other open water bodies are also important because the rhino spends about 8 hours in a day in wallows or streams during high humidity periods (August-September). In December and January, they spend at least an average of a day wallowing. (Source : WWF Nepal)

This avant garde film is based on two angry autobiographical books by David Wojnarowicz: Close to the Knives and Memories That Smell Like Gasoline. Wojnarowicz, a noted performance artist, died of AIDS . The film examines three sides of his life. The first looks at his suburban childhood and the abuse he suffered at his alcoholic father's violent hand. The second chronicles his experiences as an teen-age street hustler and criminal in New York, and the third section, which is highly abstract, follows the adult Dave as he wanders through a dangerous desert. Once these identities are established, chronology is scattered to the winds, and the three ages of David play up to and comment on each other. The work of Wojnarowicz is also represented in Knud Vesterkov's film, By The Dawn's Early Light.
Big mystery is how did such potentially dramatic and touching subject, about artist David Wonjnarowicz who died of AIDS in 1992, become such an elusive and frustrating art film.

Someone once said to me that I'm a very ambitious woman, and looking at my career path on paper you might think so. However, it's only because of the support and encouragement of the NHS, Royal Hallamshire Hospital and my family that I've had the opportunities to get to where I am today.
How I got in
Before I got into the NHS I did a variety of jobs. I stacked shelves, worked in a greengrocer and was a bookkeeper. Then, about 21 years ago when I gave birth to my youngest, I decided to learn sign language. As part of this class I did some volunteer work with people with hearing difficulties.
The volunteer scheme was in its infancy then, but my basic remit was to go into patients' homes and to help them with their hearing aids. From this I was offered a three-month and subsequently a year's contract to work as an audiology assistant. I was then given the role on a full-time basis.
After three years, I was encouraged by my manager to take a first certificate in science so that I could do a BTEC in Audiology. Once I'd completed that, I did a part-time degree at Leeds University in Audiology as well as a qualification in teaching. Again I was encouraged by my manager and had the Trust's financial backing.
Finally, I took a PGCE at Huddersfield University and was qualified to lecture as an audiologist.
Before I got into the NHS I did a variety of jobs. I stacked shelves, worked in a greengrocer and was a bookkeeper.
I am very grateful for the support and opportunities I have been given, and my story just shows that people with no medical background can enjoy a successful career in the NHS.

Q: google test EXPECT_EQ and boost::make_recursive_variant I have a boost recursive variant as below.  When I compare two recursive variant object using assert, it works fine but with EXPECT_EQ, it gives compile error.
typedef boost::make_recursive_variant<bool, boost::uint8_t, boost::uint32_t,
    boost::int32_t, double, std::string, boost::uuids::uuid>::type rvariant_type;

variant_type b1 = true;
rvariant_type b2 = true;

assert(b1 == b2);  //work fine

EXPECT_EQ(b1,b2); //gives compiler error.
EXPECT_EQ(boost::get<bool>(b1), boost::get<bool>(b2)); //works fine

boost/v1.46.1/include/boost/variant/detail/variant_io.hpp:64: error: no match for 'operator<<' in '((const boost::detail::variant::printer > >*)this)->boost::detail::variant::printer > >::out_ << operand'

A: gtest makes heavy use of streams for output but it seems that the boost::variant support for printing via an overloaded operator<< is very limited, if not nonexistant.
Take a look at this:
#include <boost/variant.hpp>
#include <boost/cstdint.hpp>
#include <boost/uuid/uuid.hpp>
#include <iostream>
typedef boost::make_recursive_variant<bool, boost::uint8_t, boost::uint32_t,
    boost::int32_t, double, std::string, boost::uuids::uuid>::type rvariant_type;

int main() {
  rvariant_type v1 = true;
  std::cout << v1 << std::endl;
  return 0;
}

This very short program gives the same compilation error you got from gtest.
Supplementing it with this:
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const rvariant_type& p) {
  return out << boost::get<bool>(p);
}

makes my test compile, I'll take a look if I can make your example work as well.
UPDATE: I just compiled and successfully ran a test based on your code after putting the above-mentioned operator<<, so the lack of an operator<< is precisely what was causing it.

Q: Preparing for segue in embedded tableView in Swift I have a UITableViewController with static cells embedded in a normal ViewController through a storyboard. This is al working as expected. However when I want to prepare for a segue when a cell on the embedded tableview is clicked the app crashes without a real error.
I have a class for the embedded UITableViewController, TableViewVC, and a class in which it's embedded, RootVC. I want to implement the method:
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?);

I created the segue in my storyboard from a specific static cell in my TableViewVC. When I implement this method in TableViewVC it never gets called. It does get called in RootVC however but crashes when I try to access the segue.identifier property. When I debug the app here I can see that the type is of the segue is:
UIStoryboardEmbedSegue

Does anyone know how I can prepare for this segue properly and access the identifier property to know what cell is clicked?
Edit: screenshot of the error: http://cl.ly/image/2z031b2B3i0o

A: The UIStoryboardEmbedSegue is used for embed relationships in ViewControllers. It is setting up the parent-child relationship between your RootVC and TableVC. It crashes because chances are you didn't se the identifier for this particular segue. You shouldn't be overriding this function in the RootVC if you are not interested in the embed relationship.
It looks like you didn't set up the segue from your cells properly. If you post a image of your storyboard, we can take a look.
An alternative to this is to set up a segue from your TableVC (not the cells), by control dragging from the yellow VC icon on top of the VC in the storyboard to the destination you want. And then performing the segue programmatically in didSelectRow.

A: I had a similar problem. You cannot access segue.identifier if the identifier is left empty in storyboard.

Death Stranding Review Embargo Lifted – Divisive Reviews Describe It Is A Masterpiece, Others Call It A Hyped Up Walking Simulator
Nov 02, 2019 Harry Alston 0 comments 589
Credit: Kojima via YouTube
Death Stranding is Hideo Kojima's latest game and has quite frankly confused fans from the start. Mysterious trailers, hints and teasers from Kojima's Twitter, and no real clear concept of what the term 'Strand Game' actually means have left many feeling excited but cautious when it comes to the game's release on November 8th.
Unusually, reviewers of the game were given 3 weeks to play the game, much longer than an ordinary review period for other AAA games. So far, the reviews have been mixed. IGN gave it a 6.8, whereas Push Square gave it a 10/10. These divisive reviews carry on all the way down the list.
Although the reviews are strict on storyline spoilers, they do give an idea as to why a 3 week review period was suitable for a game like Death Stranding. Many of the social aspects, which are limited to the small sample size of reviewers, needed time to build up and truly show what an end-game Death Stranding world might look like.
Many of the reviewers talk about the structures and changeability of the world. While your individual world will change as the game develops, playing online means the world develops in a more organic way. This is where the real magic of the game will likely lie, although that takes nothing away from the acting and atmosphere.
The acting is highly-praised across every review. Norman Reedus and others show off the 21st-century power of motion capture to truly bring a cinematic experience to a video game, and you'd already have seen this in the gameplay trailers. However, the division continues – some reviewers praise the acting but note that the dialogue is often tediously expositionary and long-winded.
And lastly, the gameplay, the crux of any video game. While Death Stranding is currently being marketed as 'An Experience' in some materials, Kojima is still releasing a video game. Does its gameplay stand up?
Reviews, again, are completely mixed. Some praise the technicality of the different in-game systems: to travel the world you need to manage your weight, balance and use a variety of different tools.
Yet, at the same time, the game is mainly focused on walking. Hiking across vast landscapes delivering items to various outposts. One reviewer claimed only 5-10% of the game is action-based. If you like dark, atmospheric video game experiences then it's likely you'll enjoy Death Stranding, although most predict the game will do well, even if it is to satiate a curiosity in Kojima's latest work.
