Q: How can I count the number of times a row has a value in an unknown number of columns? I'm working on a project in RStudio where I need to know the number of times an issue was commented on. Each issue is represented by a row, where a comment is included in the first column for the first comment. The second comment is in the second column, and so forth. This means that an issue that was commented on 45 times would have a column that was titled "comments", "comments_1", "comments_2",... "comments_44". Each row that does not have a 45th comment would have a value of NA in the "comments_44" column. I want to make this project work for multiple datasets of the same type. How could I make a code block that counts the number of comments for each row?
Right now, I am able to count the number of comments using
for(i in 1:length(df$A){
if(is.na(df$comments_##[i] == FALSE)
df$n_comments[i] <- ##
}
}

and an else if for every column name after in descending order

A: I took a stab at pasting that structure into an R console session but the parser thought it was malformed. (It has a bunch of unescaped double-quotes inside strings.)  So I tried to create a much smaller extract. I didn't make it a tibble, but this might still succeed if your more complex structure does not have those "Comment"-columns inside an embedded dataframe.
dat <- structure(list(Comment_1 = c("18/Feb/20 1:54 PM;PeterMorrissey;Passes test", "05/Dec/19 2:35 PM;PeterMorrissey;POC: Nancy\r\n\r\nTime: Less than half a day\r\n\r\nDependencies: None", "06/Sep/19 5:45 PM;JohnSieck;Tested with several story threads (manual, basic and adv) in different projects on Latest. No problems. Passed test.", "09/Sep/19 12:10 PM;NancyKraus;Passes test.", "16/Jul/19 2:12 PM;NancyKraus;Follow on story: INF-3025 ", NA), Comment_2 = c(NA, "05/Dec/19 2:56 PM;NancyKraus;Things to smoke test:\r\n # Spreadsheet Edit Modal\r\n ## Change between projects and make sure it still works\r\n ## Change taxonomy (add/remove/rename object types and attributes) and make sure it still works", "09/Sep/19 12:29 PM;NancyKraus;Passed test.", NA, "16/Jul/19 4:54 PM;PeterMorrissey;Passes Test", NA), Comment_3 = c(NA, "05/Dec/19 4:50 PM;JosephWallace;Seems to be working for me.

Then you can focus on just the columns named "Comment" and sum the number of NOT-<NA> values. with the expression apply(is.na(dat[ , grepl("Comment", names(dat))]), 1, sum). And assign it to a suitably named column:
dat$cmnt_cnt <- apply(!is.na(dat[ , grepl("Comment", names(dat))]), 1, sum)
#-----------------------
str(dat)
'data.frame':   6 obs. of  5 variables:

A: If your other columns are never NA, this should work:
library(dplyr)

                      names_prefix = "comments",

Manuel García Prieto, Markgraf (Marqués) de Alhucemas (* 5. November 1859 in Astorga; † 15. September 1938 in Donostia-San Sebastián) war ein spanischer Politiker und Ministerpräsident Spaniens (Presidente del Gobierno).

Biografie

Studium, berufliche Laufbahn und Abgeordneter
García Prieto absolvierte ein Studium der Rechtswissenschaften, nach dessen Abschluss er zunächst Staatsanwalt am Munizipalgericht von Madrid wurde. Später war er für kurze Zeit auch als Militärstaatsanwalt tätig.

Der Schwiegersohn und juristische Berater des späteren Ministerpräsidenten Eugenio Montero Ríos wurde als Mitglied der Liberalen Partei (Partido Liberal) am 4. April 1886 erstmals zum Abgeordneten des Parlaments (Congreso de los Diputados) gewählt, wo er allerdings nur für eine Wahlperiode bis zum Februar 1891 die Interessen des Wahlkreises León vertrat. Am 5. März 1893 wurde er dann erneut zum Abgeordneten des Deputiertenkongresses gewählt, wo er diesmal bis März 1911 überwiegend den Wahlkreis La Coruña sowie zeitweise León und Madrid vertrat.

Wie sein Schwiegervater Montero Ríos war auch er als Parteipolitiker Unterstützer der Kazike (Caciquismo) von Galicien. Gleichzeitig verstand er es durch Lobbyismus gegenüber den Landwirten eine eigene politische Basis in Galicien aufzubauen.

1897 erfolgte seine Ernennung zum Generaldirektor für Rechtsstreitigkeiten des Staates, ehe er daraufhin Unterstaatssekretär im Kolonialministerium (Ministerio de Ultramar) wurde.

Minister
Am 23. Juni 1905 wurde er von seinem Schwiegervater Montero Ríos als Innenminister (Ministro de Gobernación) erstmals in ein Kabinett berufen und gehörte diesem bis zum 1. Dezember 1905 an. Im anschließenden Kabinett von Segismundo Moret Prendergast übernahm er bis zum 10. Juni 1906 das Amt des Ministers für Gnadengesuche und Justiz (Ministro de Gracia y Justicia). Moret Prendergasts Nachfolger José López Domínguez übertrug ihm schließlich am 6. Juli 1906 das Amt des Entwicklungsministers (Ministro de Fomento), das er bis zum Ende von dessen Amtszeit am 30. November 1906 innehatte.

Nach mehreren Jahren der Nichtbeteiligung an Regierungsbildungen wurde er dann am 9. Februar 1910 vom Vorsitzenden der Partido Liberal, José Canalejas Méndez, zum Außenminister (Ministro de Estado) in dessen Regierung ernannt. Dieses Amt behielt er bis zum 31. Dezember 1912. In diesem Amt erreichte er 1911 einen international beachteten Erfolg mit der Unterzeichnung eines Vertrages mit Marokko, der einer der Grundlagen für die 1912 mit Frankreich im Vertrag von Fès ausgehandelte Aufteilung Marokkos in ein Französisches und ein Spanisches Protektorat war. Außerdem setzte er sich als Außenminister erfolgreich für die Vertretung der lateinamerikanischen Staaten beim Ständigen Schiedshof (Corte Permanente de Arbitraje) in Den Haag ein.

Für seine Verdienste in der spanischen Marokkopolitik wurde er am 5. Januar 1911 als Markgraf (Marqués) de Alhucemas in den Adelsstand erhoben und gehörte damit zu den Granden. Am 4. März 1911 wurde er darüber hinaus durch Königliches Dekret zum Senator auf Lebenszeit (Senador Vitalicio) ernannt.

Fünfmaliger Ministerpräsident
Nach der Ermordung von Canalejas Méndez durch einen Anarchisten am 12. November 1912 übernahm er bis zum Amtsantritt von Álvaro Figueroa Torres am 14. November 1912 für zwei Tage das Amt des amtierenden Ministerpräsidenten (Presidente del Consejo de Ministros Interino).

Die Ermordung von Canalejas Méndez führte andererseits auch zu einer Abspaltung der so genannten Sagasta - Fraktion von der Liberalen Partei und daraufhin zur Gründung der Liberaldemokratischen Partei (Partido Liberal Democrático), deren Vorsitzender García Prieto wurde.

Vom 9. Mai 1916 bis zum 17. März 1918 war als Präsident des Senats tätig.

Trotz dieses Amtes wurde er am 19. April 1917 zum Ministerpräsidenten Spaniens (Presidente del Gobierno) ernannt. Dieses Amt übte er bis zum 11. Juni 1917 aus. Als Ministerpräsident verfolgte er eine Pro-Deutsche Politik.

Im Juli 1917 übernahm er die Nachfolge von Álvaro Figueroa Torres als Vorsitzender der wiedervereinigten Partido Liberal. Als Nachfolger von Eduardo Dato Iradier wurde er nach einer Krise innerhalb des Verteidigungsrates (Junta de Defensa) am 3. November 1917 wieder Ministerpräsident der ersten Koalitionsregierung während der Regentschaft von König Alfons XIII. In seinem bis zum 22. März 1918 amtierenden Kabinett übernahm er zugleich auch das Amt des Außenministers. In der bis zum 9. November 1918 amtierenden Regierung seines Nachfolgers Antonio Maura Montaner wurde er zum Innenminister ernannt und übernahm während der Erkrankung des Amtsinhabers am 28. Oktober 1918 auch wieder das Amt des Außenministers.

Am 9. November 1918 löste er Maura Montaner als Ministerpräsident ab und bildete eine bis zum 5. Dezember 1918 amtierende Übergangsregierung, in der er selbst auch das Amt des amtierenden Entwicklungsministers übernahm.

Nachdem er sich anschließend für einige Jahre aus der Regierungspolitik zurückgezogen hatte, wurde er am 7. Dezember 1922 als Nachfolger von José Sánchez-Guerra Martínez wieder selbst zum Ministerpräsidenten ernannt. Ohne Erfolg bemühte er sich den Aufstieg des Generalkapitäns von Katalonien, Miguel Primo de Rivera, zum neuen starken Mann zu verhindern. Am 15. September 1923 wurde er von Primo de Rivera zwei Tage nach dessen Staatsstreich abgelöst, der daraufhin eine mehr als sechs Jahre währende Militärdiktatur errichtete.

Zuletzt war er vom 18. Februar bis zum 14. April 1931 Minister für Gnadengesuche und Justiz im Kabinett von Juan Bautista Aznar Cabañas, der letzten Regierung unter König Alfons XIII. von Spanien.

Anschließend zog er sich aus der Politik zurück und verstarb im Alter von 78 Jahren.

Ehrenämter
García Prieto war vom 28. Mai 1909 bis zum 27. Mai 1910 sowie 1913 Präsident der Königlichen Akademie für Rechtsprechung und Gesetzgebung (Real Academia de Jurisprudencia y Legislación).

Des Weiteren war er vom 22. November 1910 als Nachfolger von Canaleja Méndez Mitglied der Real Academia de Ciencias Morales y Políticas, wo er bis zum Verzicht am 31. Oktober 1911 den Sessel (Sillón) 15 einnahm.

DENVER — Arborists from across Colorado gathered in Denver's Washington Park for the 2017 International Society of Arboriculture's Rocky Mountain Chapter Tree Climbing Competition. Here, these talented professionals showed off the skills they utilize day-to-day caring for trees around the state.
From the speed climb competition to much more technical climbs, arborists put a mix of athletics, tree knowledge and math skills on display — and 9NEWS was there to capture it all.
Illustrating their true team spirit, this year's participants all donned Be A Smart Ash competition shirts, helping raise awareness about an issue they combat every day in their field, the emerald ash borer (EAB). Now the most destructive forest pest in U.S. history, EAB has devoured ash trees in more than 25 states and caused billions of dollars in damage.

Les Lycosidae sont une famille d'araignées aranéomorphes.

En français, les membres de cette famille sont nommés, selon les espèces, araignées-loups, tarentules ou lycoses, autrefois Tarentulae, et appartenant pour la plupart aux Alopecosae.

Ces araignées ne tissent généralement pas de toile, mais chassent à l'affût des proies pouvant atteindre la taille d'un petit oiseau ou d'une taupe, pour les plus grandes. Les femelles transportent leurs petits sur leur dos. La morsure des plus gros spécimens peut être douloureuse pour l'humain, mais elle n'est que rarement dangereuse, bien qu'elle puisse engendrer une nécrose locale, contrairement aux venimeuses veuves noires de la famille des Theridiidae.

Distribution

Les espèces de cette famille se rencontrent sur tous les continents sauf aux pôles.

Au sol, elles sont souvent très abondantes, dominant les échantillons récoltés à l'aide de pièges-fosses.

Description

Les Lycosidae sont des araignées de taille variable, la longueur du corps des adultes allant de un à  selon les espèces.

La forme et la disposition de leurs huit yeux sont caractéristiques. Les yeux antérieurs, petits, forment la rangée la plus basse, tandis que les yeux postérieurs forment les deux autres: deux gros yeux forment la rangée médiane, et deux petits situés un peu plus loin derrière forment la troisième rangée.

Les femelles transportant fréquemment leur sac d'œuf ou leur progéniture accrochée à leur abdomen.

Éthologie

Prédation

Les araignées-loups ne tissent pas de toiles pour attraper leurs proies. Elles chassent au sol, embusquées ou traquant activement leurs victimes. Leurs yeux postérieurs, de grande taille, sont disposés de façon à regarder vers l'avant. Pour repérer leurs proies, les Lycosidae se fient surtout aux vibrations engendrées dans l'air par leurs battements d'ailes ou sur le sol par leurs pas. Leur vision n'est pas particulièrement précise, et leur sert peu pour la capture des proies, contrairement à d'autres familles d'araignées comme les Salticidae. Certaines espèces, notamment du genre Pirata, chassent sur l'eau, à la surface de laquelle elles peuvent se déplacer facilement.

Il existe toutefois quelques exceptions, parmi les genres Aulonia, Hippasa et Sossipus, qui utilisent des restants de toiles d'araignées d'autres familles pour capturer leurs proies.

Reproduction

Copulation
Les parades nuptiales de toutes les espèces de Lycosidae n'ont pas été étudiées en détail, les étapes décrites ici sont celles qui sont partagées par les espèces qui ont fait l'objet d'études attentives, c.-à-d. Lycosa rabida et Lycosa punctulata.

La parade nuptiale semble être initiée par la reconnaissance de phéromones sexuelles femelles par le mâle. Pour ce faire, la femelle peut être à proximité du mâle, ou avoir laissé derrière elle un fil enduit de phéromones que le mâle pourra utiliser pour remonter jusqu'à elle. Des études suggèrent que ces signaux chimiques sont un facteur déterminant pour stimuler le mâle. Des mâles placés dans des boîtes dans lesquelles des femelles de la même espèce avaient préalablement séjourné (puis retirées) entamaient leur rituel de séduction. Les mâles n'avaient toutefois aucune réaction lorsqu'on les plaçait dans des boîtes ayant auparavant accueilli d'autres mâles ou des femelles immatures.

Il s'ensuit alors un rituel qui varie selon les espèces, mais semble généralement correspondre à ce qui suit. Le mâle place d'abord ses pattes dans une position caractéristique, accompagnée de mouvements de l'abdomen et des pédipalpes. Ces derniers sont aussi utilisés pour produire des stridulations. Après avoir exécuté sa routine une première fois, le mâle s'immobilise ou s'avance légèrement vers la femelle. Celle-ci répond alors en bougeant ses pattes avant, ce qui encourage le mâle à recommencer sa série de mouvements. Cet échange dure jusqu'à ce que la femelle soit à la portée du mâle. Ce dernier tend une de ses pattes avant vers elle, sans toutefois la toucher ; c'est la femelle qui fera le premier contact, signifiant ainsi qu'elle consent à copuler.

Pour inséminer la femelle, le mâle grimpe d'abord sur le céphalothorax de cette dernière. Il se penche ensuite à gauche ou à droite de l'abdomen, que la femelle pivote pour rendre ses parties génitales accessibles aux pédipalpes du mâle.

Soins parentaux
Il est commun de voir des Lycosidae femelles portant leurs œufs dans un sac (coque de soie formant une boule) fixé à leurs filières. Après éclosion des 20 à 100 œufs (selon les espèces), les jeunes araignées montent sur l'abdomen de la femelle et s'y maintiennent grâce à des poils spécialisés. Les jeunes vivent sur leur réserves vitellines puis, lorsque les cocons sont pondus tardivement dans la saison, peuvent se nourrir des œufs non fécondés qu'ils percent au moyen du crochet de leurs chélicères (ce type de cannibalisme animal est appelé caïnisme).

Paléontologie
Cette famille est connue depuis le Crétacé.

Systématique et taxinomie
Cette famille a été décrite par Sundevall en 1833.

Cette famille rassemble  espèces dans 129 genres actuels.

Étymologie
Le nom de cette famille est basée sur le genre Lycosa (du  / , « loup », en référence à une certaine ressemblance physique avec ce mammifère, le corps sombre recouvert de soies courtes et brun-gris, la présence d'yeux secondaires munis d'un tapetum afin d'accroître leur vision en faible luminosité et leur mode de chasse au sol : spécialistes de la chasse à vue, ces araignées disposent d'un système visuel performant utilisé lors de leur course rapide lorsqu'elles traquent leurs proies.

Les Lycosidae dans la culture

Venin et légende
Autrefois, la morsure de la tarentule (Lycosa tarantula), abondante dans la région de Tarente mais présente dans toute la zone méditerranéenne, était réputée si grave qu'il fallait organiser des tarentèles, danses frénétiques qui permettaient seules la guérison de la personne mordue. C'est en fait une idée populaire infondée. On sait aujourd'hui que les rares cas de morsures sont sans danger, sans pour autant être sans douleur. Il existe cependant quelques espèces en Amérique du Sud dont la morsure peut laisser quelques traces, car leur venin est nécrosant. C'est la morsure de l'araignée Latrodectus tredecimguttatus, une Theridiidae, et non celle de Lycosa tarentula qui cause le « tarentisme ».

Introducing Magnitude TY
A few days ago, we announced a change to futures system subscriptions at Markman Capital Insight. Now I would like to take a moment to explain the change in more detail.
The new system generating buy and sell decisions is called Magnitude. Its origins are in earthquake science, and it leverages advanced mathematics and behavioral finance principles to measure and predict crowd effect and mean reversion.
The scientist behind the system many years ago discovered a fascinating connection between the physics of the release of energy from strained rock strata during earthquakes to the release of energy from strained market participants during Wall Street panics and euphorias. In both cases, the reaction to the energy burst tends to follow a predictable pattern in both direction and time.
When I say "earthquake" your mind probably races to big events that made headlines. But there are thousands of smaller quakes all the time. Likewise, extreme market panics are rare but there are thousands of smaller panics in markets all the time on any time frame that you study, ranging from five-minute price bars to 15-minute, 60-minute, daily, weekly and monthly bars.
The new system takes advantage of these insights in a unique way. When the developer's software observes emotional investors selling a market in an extreme fashion, for instance, it can determine the moment that the fury appears to have reached an extreme "exhaustion" point. At that moment, the software triggers a buy signal, and calculates the length of time and distance the market will potentially then travel in the opposite direction.
These types of events occur regularly in all markets -- e.g. equities, bonds, metals and grains -- in all time frames. Any market that attracts a crowd will generate predictable crowd effects. As a result, the Magnitude system may have more flexibility to discover and act upon trading opportunities in more types of futures contracts than the previous system.
Now here are some additional key details.
-- Unlike the previous system, every Magnitude trade will come with a stop. We believe this is critical to risk management. Because the system believes it knows what to expect each time a trade is initiated, it also knows if that view is proving to be incorrect. The software in essence accepts that it could be wrong on any given recommendation, and provides an escape hatch.
-- The benefit of setting stops is that long, deep, painful drawdowns will not occur on any given trade. The downside is that the system will record more single-trade losses. Another way to put it: The prior system had a high level of conviction that it had made the right choice the first time, and would sometimes wait a long time to be proven correct. Magnitude also has a high level of conviction in its recommendations, but will more readily acknowledge near-term execution missteps in order to avoid steep, time-consuming, emotionally draining drawdowns.
-- While the prior system looked ahead to price levels to enter and exit each trade, Magnitude uses real time "price exhaustion" signals. As a result, trade entries and exits will be delivered as real time market orders rather than in advance with predetermined limit orders.
-- Every Magnitude program will have the ability to trade at least one additional compatible contract in addition to its main contract. This is a key new benefit added to your subscription at no additional cost, and opens up the potential for more trades. In the case of Magnitude TY, the main contract will be the 10 Year Treasury Note (TY). The program will also be able to trade two sister contracts: the 30 Year Bond (ZB) and the U.S. Dollar (DX).
-- The program could have up to four contracts in play at any given time (e.g. two TY and two DX) but will aim to never exceed margin requirements of the model $20k portfolio.
-- The developer's historical and live beta tests indicate that Magnitude TY should generate around 60 round-trip trades per year. That's roughly five per month on average, or a little more than one a week. Of course trades may instead come in bunches, and there could also be multi-week stretches in which there are no trades.
-- The system's win rate for a model portfolio with the TY, ZB and DX contracts during a 120-day live beta test from early March to early July this year was 47% on 21 trades. That means a little more than half the trades were stopped out for losses. Yet the return for the 120-day live beta test was +54%. For comparison, the underlying 10-year note was -1.9% in the same stretch.
There are no guarantees that Magnitude TY will continue to deliver these kinds of results, and all accounts may not achieve comparable results. Always keep in mind that futures trading involves substantial risk of loss, and you should only trade with money you can afford to lose.
In summary, I believe that the Magnitude TY system will have a good shot at delivering great results in coming months and years while managing risk in a way that will help you sleep easier.

IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM.
ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.

When hiring an independent contractor, having an Independent Contractor Agreement is important. California has very stringent labor laws. First, it is important that you are correctly classifying someone as an Independent Contractor. Incorrectly classifying employees as independent contractors could subject the employer to liability under the Unfair Competition Law.
If you have consulted with a business attorney and determined that you are correctly classifying an Independent Contractor, it is important to have an Independent Contractor Agreement. Some Independent Contractors have their own agreement that they regularly use. Have the agreement reviewed for potential liabilities in order to make sure that both parties are protected. Most Independent Contractors will be open to revisions.
If there is not an Independent Contractor Agreement, you can have a business attorney draw one up for you. An agreement can limit liability, headaches, and expensive lawsuits.
What should be included in an Independent Contractor Agreement?
The parties entering into the agreement should be clearly stated. Pay attention to whether the parties are businesses or individuals.
Clearly identify the scope of work that the contractor is engaged to do.
Identify the time, means, and manner of work to be conducted.
Limit the contractor from activity that could be a conflict of interest to the company.
State that there is no Employer-Employee Relationship. Additionally, state that the parties are not engaging in a joint-venture or partnership relationship.
The Contractor is not eligible for employee benefits.
In order to know how and when contractors will be paid, include terms of the Compensation and Expense Reimbursement.
State the terms for termination of the agreement. When engaging the contractor for a new project, don't forget to create a new agreement with new terms.
State the location or jurisdiction and how the matter will be handled if a legal action does show up.
Make sure that both parties sign and date the agreement as the appropriate parties.
A written and signed Independent Contractor Agreement can limit your liability and protect your future. Handshake agreements do not hold up well when a problem arrises. The Swenson Law Firm is a Business and Estate Planning Law Firm in Sacramento County. They work to protect you, your business, and your loved ones. Call 916-333-0833 to set up a consultation or to sign up for an upcoming seminar.

NEW RELEASE! Based on the first Chapter of the Gospel of John, "Word of God" acknowledges God as Creator of the universe and everything in it. God sent His Son to be the light in the darkness so that we might be called children of the One True God. This song employs a middle eastern style that connects the listener to the Holy Land where Christ served and died for our sins. But the story doesn't end there, as Christ was resurrected as our Redeemer and King.
"Word of God" was recorded and produced by the multiple Dove Award-winning producer, Chris Bevins in Nashville, Tennessee.
It has recently charted on the Louder Than the Music Singles Chart as #4 and #5.
Word of God 4:34
The Story Behind "Word of God"
How "Word of God" Came To Be
One day in quiet reflection and reading the first chapter of the Gospel of John, a beautiful melody started to accompany the words of scripture. I took notice that God was giving us a new song. It came in like a flood with a middle eastern style (which we often get) and before long the new song was born.
"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. There was nothing that was made before Him, He's the Word of God, the Word of God." That seemed to be a fitting first verse.

Daffy Duck dans le rôle de Duck Dodgers (Duck Dodgers Starring Daffy Duck) est un jeu de plates-formes, développé par Paradigm Entertainment pour la Nintendo 64 en 2000. Le joueur y incarne Daffy Duck, célèbre canard des Looney Tunes.

Scénario
Marvin le martien a mis au point une arme spéciale dans le but de détruire la Terre. Mais son fonctionnement nécessite l'apport en capsules énergétiques, qui sont éparpillées à la surface de cinq planètes. Il envoie alors ses sbires les récupérer, mais Duck Dodgers et Cadet ne les laisseront pas faire.

Système de jeu
Daffy Duck dans le rôle de Duck Dodgers est un jeu de plates-formes en 3D dans la même veine que Banjo-Kazooie ou Mario 64. Les déplacements se font au moyen du stick analogique, le bouton « A » permet de sauter, le bouton « B » déclenche une attaque et le bouton « Z » est destiné à l'utilisation des objets spéciaux. La combinaison de ces touches permet un double-saut ou une attaque plombée. Les objets spéciaux sont variés, allant de la roquette attachée au dos du personnage au gant de boxe géant.

L'aire de jeu est divisée en cinq planètes. Dans chacune d'entre elles se trouve un niveau central, qui permet d'accéder aux sous-niveaux qui se débloquent au fur et à mesure de l'obtention des capsules énergétiques. Une fois toutes les capsules d'une planète collectées, le joueur affronte un boss incarné par un personnage de l'univers des Looney Tunes, puis accède à la planète suivante. Chaque planète a un style graphique qui s'apparente à son boss.

Hormis les phases de plates-formes et d'action, des phases de tir à la première personne, des parties de Pong, des matchs de boxe, de basket et autres mini-jeux, ponctuent le déroulement de l'aventure.

Should You Outsource Content Marketing? 5 Signs That Point to Yes.
At some point or another, you'll have to consider the value that comes when you outsource content marketing – especially as your business gains momentum and becomes more successful.
Finding good help is hard to do but so is doing everything yourself.
Creating and promoting content is basically a full-time gig. And even if you have a small team, sometimes you can't justify dedicating a full-time head to content marketing and what ends up happening is that it gets pushed to side, ignored and only executed on a limited basis.
And we all know that content marketing requires commitment and consistency – without it, it's just not great and you'll never see the results you're hoping for.
So, should you outsource content marketing?
Sign #1: You actually don't have the proper set of skills to execute your content marketing successfully.
Subject Expertise – are you an expert in the subject you're writing about?
Networking – do you know how to promote effectively?
Finding someone who's got one of the areas covered isn't hard.
Finding someone who has two of these is harder.
Finding someone who's got all three areas covered is like searching for a unicorn and even more difficult to achieve.
But top content marketers who have all three skill sets DO exist and they are out there.
They just don't exist on your team.
Sign #2: You can't remember the last time you made a website or blog update.
With all the build-it-yourself website tools out there, it's easy to think that you can manage this yourself. But it takes more than a landing page with a few words and your logo to convey a professional, accurate and compelling image that draws customers in.
A great website needs to do more than just look slick, it also needs to be optimized to drive conversions like emails and calls as well as give the best level of functionality for visitors. If you're struggling to stay on top of updating the site or blog and finding that even the most basic coding, design or functional hang-ups give you major headaches, it's time to find a professional who can help you.
Sign #3: You have no idea what content marketing success really looks like.
When you don't know what marketing ROI looks like, you can't properly measure it.
And content not measured is content wasted.
Whether you're outsourcing to an agency or a freelancer, you are entrusting that they've successfully done it before. Many outsourcers package their understanding of content marketing best practices in their process flows, employees, data models and partnerships.
Engaging with these experts allows you to benchmark your current operations against industry best practices and immediate access to institutional knowledge – insight that can also be easily transferred.
Sign #4: Your social media fan base isn't necessarily your target market.
Social media is about more than creating the accounts and sporadically updating them – it can be a powerful way to boost word of mouth and site traffic, further boosting your website SEO.
And while you may have invested some time into your social media marketing, if you're only concerned with vanity numbers instead of who your community is actually made up of, then that's a sign it's time to turn over your social presence to the experts.
Find a partner who'll really get to know your business and target audience, and manage your blog and content marketing so you can target the right audience and build your brand online.
Sign #5: You want to focus on marketing insight, not marketing operations.
It's easy to get lost in the weeds when it comes to content marketing – writing weekly blog posts, social media updates, creating email newsletters, updating your web content, the list can go on and on.
If you find yourself never being able to step away from the to-do list to think about the bigger picture, you should consider outsourcing the execution so you focus on the strategy. After all, it's your business so you are the brain trust.
You don't have to use an all-or-nothing approach when it comes to content marketing outsourcing. Hybrid marketing strategies are quite common especially in small (but growing) companies.
If you find yourself experiencing any of these telltale signs but are still weary about outsourcing your marketing efforts, start small.
Remember that content marketing is a marathon, not a sprint so don't be quick to throw in the towel if you don't see immediate results.
In the long run, outsourcing your content marketing can give you time to build more local business connections, nurture sales, build another branch of the business, whatever your heart desires to do with this new-found freedom.
I've only just scratched the surface on reasons why you should outsource your content marketing – what other signs would make you hire marketing help? Let me know in a comment below!


Ramp up your run How? Buy a better pair of sneakers. Because, according to experts, wrong-size running kicks might increase your likelihood of chronic foot pain. Since it's race season all over the country (check out our inspirational 0-to-5k Countdown and Race Finder to find one near you!), we've got common sneaker mistakes to avoid, so you can run pain-free.
The weird risk of too much coffee This time, caffeine's off the hook. Turns out consuming three or more daily cups can increase your chances of developing glaucoma by 66%, finds new research from the Harvard Medical School. Fortunately, you can protect your peepers by cutting back on java and also by following our eye-healthy strategies.
Another frightening fry fact Sure, an occasional trip through the drive-thru may seem harmless, but when starchy foods are cooked above 248 degrees, they naturally produce a chemical called acrylamide—a probable human carcinogen. A better bet? Cook this comfort food yourself with these delicious recipes.
Drink this, defy your age If there's science we can get behind, it's the kind that supports our choosing to sip a glass (or two) of vino. So when we read that ingredients in red wine could not only help us live longer, but slash our risk for a slew of disease, too? We were thrilled. Check out all the healthy reasons to toast yourself.
Do you need a media diet? News junkies, listen up. New research shows that negative headlines put our minds on high-alert and, as a result, increase our levels of stress. So what can you do? Strike a balance between informed and, well, basket-case. Here's how.
The secret to strong bones Surprise! It's not milk. A new study shows that the vitamin C in orange juice may do as much for your bones as milk can, particularly in postmenopausal women. Find easy ways to crank up your C intake.
