Why do I have no internet access for the programs on my old desktop???
Hello Guys, I have been facing issues with my dell N5110 and Windows 7 laptop. I have been using it for over a year but never faced this issue. My wireless (and wired) connection connects to the router but doesnt connect to internet. A yellow triangle appears on the network connection symbol. I know for a fact that there is no issue with router because my other devices (another compaq laptop, an Ipad, a Kindle, HTC desire phone) connect fine. I havent changed the router or any of the settings. My dell laptop refuses to connect to the internet. I have tried some of the remedies mentioned in the forum like resetting TCP/IP protocol using netsh command, ipconfig renew, re-installed the driver from the manufacturers CD but to no avail.
no admin access, non of the tricks working!
Hello guys. Im having this issue since the purchase of my laptop - Acer V3-471G. The wifi will show exclamation mark for every 5 minute i guess and it saying limited connectivity. And if i wait for about 5 minute, the problem gone and connectivity back to normal again. After that the problem occur again. Methods tried: 1)Uninstalling wireless lan driver and installed it back. 2)Reconfigure router configuration. 3)Connect to other wifi aside from my home wifi. And that's all. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry for my bad English as English not my native tongue. Even when i'm writing this thread the problem occur for three times.

Cypenamine: Everything You Need To Know (Benefits & Side Effects)
Written on October 16, 2022 by John Bartholdi, MPharmacol | Reviewed by William Gallagher, MNeuroSci
N-Ethyl-Cypenamine (also known as cypenamine hydrochloride and 2-phenylcyclopentylamine), is a potent, fast acting psychostimulant.
This article will give a description of the drug, benefits, side effects as well as possible legal ramifications.
So without further ado, let's just get straight into it, shall we?
What is Cypenamine?
How Cypenamine Works
Cypenamine vs Fencamfamine
Cypenamine is a molecule that can be considered to have some structural similarity to fencamfamine.
Cypenamine is the result of the research performed by scientists at the William S. Merrell Chemical Company in the 1940's.
The company developed several compounds intended to enhance physical and mental performance during World War II but none were found to be suitable for use in combat.
In the 1950's a group at Merrell that was interested in finding a blood pressure lowering drug, began studying cypenamine and its pharmacological properties.
For much of the following decade the company continued to research the drug as an antihypertensive agent but eventually abandoned it in favor of other more promising drugs in this area.
Cypenamine works by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system.
This would occur through the same mechanisms that are associated with stimulating the central nervous system, causing a release of norepinephrine and dopamine.
The dose of cypenamine used in experiments was around 0.4 mg per kilogram of body weight for a period of four to six weeks.
This is greater than the dosage of fencamfamine. Because of the higher dosage, cypenamine produces more pronounced increases in energy and a general sense of well being.
Both drugs are based on the same amphetamine-like molecule and are considered to be psychostimulants.
However, fencamfamine is an active agent in its own right whereas cypenamine is a prodrug which must be metabolized into an active form.
Cypenamine also differs from fencamfamine in that it is more potent and has more potential side effects.
Cypenamine is currently legal throughout the world.
This means that there are no regulatory laws in place to restrict its sale, production and use as there are for fencamfamine. This may be because the drug has never been developed for market.
In some countries fencamfamine is scheduled as a controlled substance under the United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971.
The main function of Cypenamine is to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system.
This property makes it an effective source of energy, and also acts as a mild euphoriant .
Another benefit of cypenamine is that when taken at the correct dosage, it has no significant drug side effects .
Though there are several reports of adverse effects, these are generally minor and are usually related to over dosage.
The most common adverse effect is insomnia.
Cypenamine is a drug that has been researched throughout most of the 20th century.
After an unsuccessful search for an antihypertensive, the company at William S. Merrell Chemical Company began researching the drug as a potential stimulant.
Throughout much of the 1950's it was studied alongside other psychostimulants such as amphetamine and methamphetamine, but finally in 1960, it was dropped from the market and rights were sold to a company in Japan.
Cypenamine is currently legal throughout most of the world with no restrictions on its sale or use. The drug has been abandoned in favor of Fencamfamin for treating depressive day-time fatigue.

Sailing is very popular in USA. It is a respected sport and some of the most prestigious sailing competitions are held there. It is also a very expensive competition as the boats need to be on the absolutely top level. Because of that some of the richest people on the planet spend millions of dollars on sailing. This is their hobby and they enjoy having a crew competing for them. However, sailing has also another face and it is much much cheaper. Yacht charters do not cost that much money and it is an awesome idea to spend your free time regardless of how much you have.
Yachting can be a great experience when you only sail for few hours but also days or weeks. Everything depends on what you like and how much time you are willing to commit to it. If you would like to rent a boat in USA but you think you can not afford it there multiple ways to make it happen. You can use programs that allow you to work in the US and then you can go on adventure after you earn enough to rent a yacht. If you already are a sailor you can try to find a program that is looking for people with experience to teach sailing. Doing such job you will be on the water nearly every day and if that will not be enough for you are welcome to use your money to rent a boat on your own after you finish working. If you are looking to minimalize costs it is not always the best to buy all the needed gear in your home country. USA has some of the best prizes when it comes to sailing related things so it is good to go on the internet and check if it will be truly better to buy everything right away. When it comes to items that you should have with you on the boat the advantages of having a sharp knife can not be understated. You will be shocked how useful that thing is and how many times in so many different ways you will be using it! Grand Teton NP. and Yellowstone are locations you want to visit if you are looking for wonders of nature. This is a place that alongside with sailing will provide you with great places to do rock climbing. If you are interested in paradise for sailors the Jackson lake and Colter Bay are truly that. Hundreds of boats of everywhere.
There are a lot of bigger cities that provide you with the ability to rent a boat and sail. A one that is worth visiting even not for sailing is Las Vegas. A legendary place not that far from some of the best sailing locations. First thing to take into consideration before going there is age. If you are not 21 it is probably not worth going there as most of the attractions provided by this city require you to be of age. It is truly a city living by knight. Casinos, clubs and so on open to the very late hours can give you crazy memories that you will look back on with a big smile. It is important to constantly remember that the point of the visit is having fun. Otherwise you can ruin your experience just by raging on things that you can not control. Regardless whether you decide to visit Vegas or not sailing in USA is definitely a good idea.

Category: Europe & Middle East
Turkey is truly the meeting place of Europe and the Middle East. Although, generally, Turkey is considered a middle eastern country, its main hub Istanbul has a European feel with old world charm. This bustling city is a doorway into a country that has two distinct sides.
When the British withdrew from the Gulf in 1971, a group of seven shaikhdoms from the area united to form the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE has been growing as trading and travel destination, with its mountains, beaches, and deserts, and its welcoming attitude toward Westerners, as well as Easterners. The UAE is known for its dichotomous lifestyle: on the one hand, there are soaring skyscapers with all of the world's biggest banks represented and bustling shopping malls around every corner, on the other hand there's plenty of shopping to be done in traditional Bedouin markets (or souks) and traditional cultural activities such as camel racing–legacies of the days before the boom. But while the UAE is considered one of the safest places to travel in the region, it is advised that you steer clear of political gatherings or demonstrations.
Much of early history centers itself around an area known as the "Fertile Crescent," referring to the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in present-day Iraq. Many ancient kingdoms were borne out of this region, including the Assyrians, Sumerians, and Babylonians–whose legendary King Hammurabi penned the enormously important Code of Hammurabi, one of the most significant legal doctrines of all time.
The sultanate of Oman is a land of friendly people and magnificent landscapes–so the world is finding out as this corner of the Middle East emerges from a long period of isolation. Oman is one of the most traditional countries in the Middle East, but as it slowly comes out of its shell, it's beginning […]
Ireland is more than just the land of Guinness and Shamrocks, it is a land of mythic beauty that is hard to forget. From the ancient Celts to the early European Christians, Vikings, and finally the Normans, Ireland has seen more history than many other places on earth. But the country has emerged from tumultuous […]
Switzerland, sometimes referred to as the "island inside Europe," is a land with many identies. From its busy banking centers in the cities to the lovely mountains and Alpine villages, Switzerland is also a land of many contrasts. The robust culture of this country is exemplified by the four different languages spoken by its population: German, French, Italian, and the native Romansch.
The islands that make up the United Kingdom probably broke off of the mainland of Europe about 8 millennia ago. Orginally occupied by little-known tribal cultures, some of whom are thought to have built Stonehenge, the island region was invaded by the Celts around 500 BC.
The newly independent nation of Georgia is hard to describe in terms of one particular region. Some consider it part of the Middle East, others Europe, and still others Asia. The reason for this may be because it is so closely related, both geographically and culturally, with all of these places. Once it broke from the former USSR, Georgia suffered some civil unrest, but as the situation stablizes, Georgia is becoming a major player in world affairs.
The 9th-century founding of Novgorod by the Viking Rurik initiated a more than thousand-year history of wealth and war, trial and loss, conquest, Communism, and tyranny. The monarchic splendor and seething peasant ideology of old Russia, coupled with the complex social, economic, and political changes brought about during the Soviet era, survive today in one form or another in what is possibly the most enigmatic yet of this country's many incarnations.
Ancient history melds with cutting-edge technology; long, rainy, or freezing winters contrast against vibrant, endless days of summer. Such are the complexities of Scotland, a land where the gloomy weather very often belies the sunny dispostion of her people.

Will Donald Trump's aggressive midterm campaign blitz be enough to hold onto Congress?
Donald Trump has put himself front and centre of this year's midterm elections - rounding off months of campaigning with a final six-day blitz leading into today's vote.
The US president ended the week with rallies in three different states on Monday as he attempted to boost turnout among Republican voters in Ohio, Indiana and Missouri.
Mr Trump has spent at least 36 days campaigning and fundraising across the country - more than his predecessors President Barack Obama or President George W Bush - in an attempt to keep both chambers of the US Congress in Republican hands.

WHEELCHAIR INNOVATION APPLIED TO THE COVID-19 RESPONSE
National Research Council – Industrial Research Assistance Program, Government of Canada
Cheelcare is an innovative technological and manufacturing company focused on radically improving the quality of life and independence of people with physical disabilities through its suite of next generation assistive devices. We have developed innovations which focus on enabling disabled individuals to exceed their imposed limits by providing them with advanced mobility and connectivity solutions. Our three product lines include: robotic wheelchairs, power add-ons to manual wheelchairs, and power accessories (chargers and backup cameras/sensors). By leveraging our extensive expertise in design and manufacturing as well as in software and mechanical engineering, we were in an excellent position to respond to the government's call to private companies to create innovative solutions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. To support our efforts and also attest to our capabilities, the Government of Canada recently awarded an NRC-IRAP* grant to Cheelcare.
Our most advanced mobility products utilize several systems including safety and collision avoidance systems which were developed by Cheelcare and which will be at the core of our COVID-19 product. We are proposing to build on these existing systems to provide an innovative solution for the disinfection of public spaces by developing an autonomous robotic mobility platform with an Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation emitter mounted to it. The UV-C irradiation destroys the virus' RNA and leaves the environment COVID free. The platform will be modified to eliminate shaded areas and increase the efficiency of the system.
Combining UV-C techniques with a robotic mobility platform and a high-power source will provide a cost-effective solution for the rapid disinfection of public areas and may enable large scale protocols for prevention and containment of outbreaks. UV-C disinfection systems currently exist, but none are autonomous and robotic which greatly limits their adaptability and effectiveness. Advanced features make the solution developed by Cheelcare an exciting major innovation which will combine ahigh disinfection rate with high operational efficiency.
Cheelcare has identified numerous potential early adopters of the technology which is only a small sampling of the many public areas where the COVID virus could be present creating a vital need for this highly effective solution:
hospitals and clinics,
retirement residences,
hotels and lobbies,
places of worship,
grocery stores,
malls and food courts,
cinema theatres,
airports and public transit.
The primary disadvantages of existing disinfecting methods (predominantly chemical) are that they are labour-intensive, time-consuming and uneven. With few exceptions (e.g., hydrogen peroxide vapor), they require manual wiping of surfaces with a disinfectant. This operational inefficiency can be a significant hurdle to the implementation of large-scale disinfection programs and can make them economically nonviable. Moreover, manual labour can be prone to errors, e.g., some areas could be intentionally or unintentionally skipped during disinfection, some areas are difficult to access fully, etc. The Cheelcare platform eliminates these disadvantages with a highly effective, wide range solution.

XCEED YOUR REACH AT OCE DISCOVERY
Cheelcare was featured in the finance section of Yahoo Canada while participating in the Accessibility Innovation Showcase at OCE Discovery. The reach of the chair to have conversations with users up to 6 feet tall was remarked upon in their video. The side to side tilt, the reclining backrest, and anterior as well as posterior tilt features of the chair are also shown here. Jen talks about how the self leveling feature of the chair is exceptionally helpful on sidewalks, which aren't really flat. This typically strains powerchair users lower back with frequent impact and movement to one side based on the side of the road they are driving on. With the Xceed's self-leveling function and improved suspension, the lower back of the user remains protected and stable when riding on uneven terrain.

THE UNVEILING OF THE CURIO
The pediatric version of our powered mobility device has been long awaited by many. At last, after many hours of hard work, the design is finalized. With the help of round the clock 3D printing technologies, our team has been able to manufacture many of the pieces for our very first prototype on site. Thanks to the speed of this technology, we were able to unveil the first prototype at the Ontario Society of Occupational Therapist's workshop "Fun on Wheels: The Effects of Seating and Mobility Interventions on Early Movement, Play and Reflex Activity in the Pediatric Population"! To read more about this event, click here. The prototype is currently undergoing in-house testing before it is ready to enter production stages.
This device will be the first among its kind to offer such a diverse range of mobility to children and youth. With functions almost parallel to the Xceed, the Curio is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of pediatric mobility. Its playful and innovative design will lead the way and allow children and youth the autonomy to claim their own place in the world, increasing their confidence and sense of self-worth.
Come see us at our next event to experience our innovative devices firsthand, or contact us with any questions!
UPGRADES TO THE XCEED PREPRODUCTION PROTOTYPES
The production phase is quickly approaching! We wanted to make sure that the Xceed was everything that our clients needed it to be before we sent it to production, so we are constantly making improvements.
To ensure that there was the most power available, especially considering the climate in Canada, we decided to make an upgrade to brushless motors. This will allow our clients to have more torque in their motors to handle snow, mud, gravel, and uneven terrain. With high torque and high ground clearance, the Xceed will have the capacity to explore further outdoors without getting caught in roots or debris. With all angles of tilt available, this high velocity ride will provide the right angle and pressure relief for the user, all available to be adjusted by touch screen.
Cheelcare will start accepting pre-orders for the Cheelcare Xceed power wheelchair in the Summer of 2018. Stay tuned for more information!
XCEED AT THE OPENING OF THE ACCESSIBLE COXWELL SUBWAY STATION
The XCEED powechair is starting to make waves in the community. On March 1st, our good friend Raymond Dell'Aera, the chair of the Toronto Transit Commission Advisory Committee on Accessible Transit (ACAT) drove the XCEED prototype at the opening of the Coxwell Subway station, which is now fully accessible to disabled clients. Raymond was a huge help in early prototyping, providing critical ideas and advice toward product development. Some of the stations new accessibility features include fully functioning elevators, a dedicated wheel-trans bay, improved signage and wayfinding signs, and updated walkways and landscaping. This will greatly improve accessibility for disabled clients using TTC. The new station was easy to navigate with the XCEED, driven by both Raymond and Jen, and they were able to maneuver the new Wheel-trans buses, as well as the subway, gracefully. The compact size of the XCEED allowed Jen to make a full 360 degree turn while she explored the wheeltrans bus! Here are a few pictures from their visit!

Nnamdi Kanu Vs Army: Justice Binta Nyako's Irrational Adjournment, A Travesty And Affront To Justice

After another irrational adjournment yesterday, on the suit filed by lawyer to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, seeking to compel the Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai to produce Kanu in court, it is now clear that the Muslim judge, Binta Nyako has compromised the standard upon which justice is built.
Binta Nyako is biased in this case; she is doing the bid of her paymasters by not only adjourning Kanu's trial endlessly without tangible reasons but deliberately adjourned ruling on the suit asking the Army Chief to produce Kanu in court simply because she obviously knows the judgment would go against the favour of her pay masters. Nyako's favoritism and biasness is further laid to bare by the fact that she failed to establish cogent reasons that warranted the adjournment.
In my previous article titled, "The Stupidity And Unprofessional Conduct Of Buratai, FG, And The Need To "Invoke The Doctrine Of Last Seen", I had stated clearly that; "Last Seen Doctrine" in law, stipulates in cases of murder, where there is no explanation for the death or disappearance of the deceased and the defendant was the last person seen in company of the deceased, then circumstantial evidence can be used to link the defendant to the death of the deceased or applicant as the case may be, and prove the charge against the defendant beyond reasonable doubt.

There is no burden on the defendant to prove his innocence and explain the death or sudden disappearance of the Applicant but the burden remains on the Prosecution to prove that the defendant killed the deceased. It is the duty of the prosecution to lead sufficient evidence to establish a prima facie case against the defendant to require an explanation for the disappearance of the deceased and absence of any reasonable explanation can support the inference of guilt.
Justice Nyako knows that the ball is on her court to invoke the "Last Seen Doctrine" against the Army represented by Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai, on whose order the soldiers invaded Kanu's home and whisked him away. But instead of doing the needful, Binta have chosen to protect her pay masters thereby subverting and murdering justice. She is intentionally frustrating the counsel to Nnamdi Kanu.
Binta Nyako is committing judicial blunder and grave misconduct against judicial processes. She is under oath to protect the rights of the common man but the reverse is the case in this matter. If Buratai and his army cannot produce Nnamdi Kanu in court, Binta Nyako should do the needful or resign from handling the case.

It is unfortunate and appalling that the Nigerian judiciary always allow its integrity to be rubbished and dragged to the mud by the likes of Justice Binta Nyako whose uncoordinated conduct has further basterdized its image and hope of ordinary citizens. Her conduct in handling this case is a proof that the Nigerian Judiciary is indisputably under the control of the Executive arm of government, which is against the rule of checks and balances obtainable in a democratic system of government.
The jihadist Fulani cabals who has taken Binta Nyako as their puppet must understand that Kanu's case is a global matter of interest and the world is watching and monitoring how this case is being handled and how it will also end. The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPO,B will continue to fight until justice prevails.

title: Networking features in Docker for Windows
---
{% assign Arch = 'Windows' %}

Docker for {{Arch}} provides several networking features to make it easier to
use.

## Features

### VPN Passthrough

Docker for {{Arch}}'s networking can work when attached to a VPN. To do this,
Docker for {{Arch}} intercepts traffic from the containers and injects it into
{{Arch}} as if it originated from the Docker application.

### Port Mapping

When you run a container with the `-p` argument, for example:

```
$ docker run -p 80:80 -d nginx
```

Docker for {{Arch}} makes whatever is running on port 80 in the container (in
this case, `nginx`) available on port 80 of `localhost`. In this example, the
host and container ports are the same. What if you need to specify a different
host port? If, for example, you already have something running on port 80 of
your host machine, you can connect the container to a different port:

```
$ docker run -p 8000:80 -d nginx
```

Now, connections to `localhost:8000` are sent to port 80 in the container. The
syntax for `-p` is `HOST_PORT:CLIENT_PORT`.

### HTTP/HTTPS Proxy Support

See [Proxies](index.md#Proxies).

## Known limitations, use cases, and workarounds

Following is a summary of current limitations on the Docker for {{Arch}}
networking stack, along with some ideas for workarounds.

### There is no docker0 bridge on {{Arch}}

Because of the way networking is implemented in Docker for {{Arch}}, you cannot
see a `docker0` interface on the host.  This interface is actually within the
virtual machine.

### I cannot ping my containers

Docker for Windows can't route traffic to Linux containers.  However, you can
ping the Windows containers.

### Per-container IP addressing is not possible

The docker (Linux) bridge network is not reachable from the Windows host.
However, it works with Windows containers.

### Use cases and workarounds

There are two scenarios that the above limitations affect:

#### I want to connect from a container to a service on the host

The host has a changing IP address (or none if you have no network access). From
18.03 onwards our recommendation is to connect to the special DNS name
`host.docker.internal`, which resolves to the internal IP address used by the
host.

The gateway is also reachable as `gateway.docker.internal`.

#### I want to connect to a container from the Windows

Port forwarding works for `localhost`; `--publish`, `-p`, or `-P` all work.
Ports exposed from Linux are forwarded to the host.

Our current recommendation is to publish a port, or to connect from another
container. This is what you need to do even on Linux if the container is on an
overlay network, not a bridge network, as these are not routed.

The command to run the `nginx` webserver shown in [Getting
Started](index.md#explore-the-application-and-run-examples) is
an example of this.

```bash
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 --name webserver nginx
```

To clarify the syntax, the following two commands both expose port `80` on the
container to port `8000` on the host:

```bash
$ docker run --publish 8000:80 --name webserver nginx

$ docker run -p 8000:80 --name webserver nginx
```

To expose all ports, use the `-P` flag. For example, the following command
starts a container (in detached mode) and the `-P` exposes all ports on the
container to random ports on the host.

```bash
$ docker run -d -P --name webserver nginx
```

See the [run command](/engine/reference/commandline/run.md) for more details on
publish options used with `docker run`.


During the course of last, the revelations by whistleblower Edward Snowden have exposed the comprehensive surveillance of digital communication by Western intelligence services, foremost by the NSA and GCHQ. The near total storage and analysis of our emails, text messages, online chats and IP data is accelerating the erosion of privacy and will be a prominent topic at re:publica. Together with The Federal Agency of Civic Education (Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung - bpb), we will be continuing the debate on the NSA spying scandal, through our subconference "Überwachtes Netz" ("The Surveilled Net").
What are the policies and mechanisms that make surveillance of the Internet possible?
How does our understanding of the vulnerability of our personal information shape our thoughts and actions?
How can we regain control of the Net and resist digital disenfranchisement?
In our programme, we would like to explore the Internet's darkest abysses as well as its greener glades in the form of talks and panel discussions.
Ron Deibert and Morgan Marquis-Boire will guide their audience through the battlefields of the Internet. The two experts from Citizens Lab in Toronto have been dealing with cyber-warfare and Internet surveillance for years and will give first-hand reports from current and future threats to the Net.
Algorithm expert Yvonne Hofstetter battles through the tortuous thicket of Big Data and makes seemingly vast amounts of data useful. She knows the potentials and dangers of automated data analysis, like no other.
Jillian York and Jacob Applebaum charge the crypto-barriers and report on what we can learn from the histories of past social movements when it comes to defending and explaining principles of freedom and privacy.
Erich Möchel, veteran journalist on data protection and digital rights, can already see the starts of a new social movement for the defence of information. But for it to succeed, several barriers need addressing.
Priya Basil founded the writers platform "authors for peace" in 2010 and started the international online petition "writers against mass surveillance" 2013, in which she and more than 560 writers from across the globe demand a new Convention on Human Right for the digital age.
Expect these speakers and further sessions and panels during "Überwachtes Netz" – an #rp14 subconference, in association with the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung.

The Need for a National Strategy to Address Abuse and Misuse of Prescription Drugs in Canada: Canadian Medical Association Submission to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health
The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) is pleased to present this brief to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health for consideration as part of its study on the government's role in addressing prescription drug abuse in Canada. It is increasingly recognized that while prescription medication has an important role in health care, the misuse and abuse of controlled psychoactive prescription medications, notably opioids such as oxycodone, fentanyl and hydromorphone, is emerging as a significant public health and safety issue. The use of prescription opioids is on the rise, in Canada and internationally. Canada has the second highest per capita consumption of prescription opioids in the world, after the United States. The CMA is particularly concerned about the impact of prescription drug abuse and misuse on vulnerable populations; notably, seniors, youth and First Nations. We note, for example, that in 2011 opioids were reported as the third most common drug (after alcohol and marijuana) used by students in Ontario. Controlled prescription medications are legal products intended for legitimate therapeutic purposes, such as pain management or palliative and end-of-life care. However, they may also be used for recreational purposes or to feed an addiction. Though many patients are prescribed controlled drugs to treat medical conditions, it is addiction which drives the drugs' illegal acquisition through means such as doctor-shopping, forging prescribers' signatures, or buying from street dealers or the Internet. Canada's physicians are concerned about the abuse and misuse of prescription medication for a number of reasons. For one, physicians need to assess the condition of patients who request the medication, and consider whether the use is clinically indicated and whether the benefits outweigh the risks. This can be challenging as there is no objective test for assessing pain, and therefore the prescription of opioids rests to a great extent on mutual trust between the physician and the patient. For another, physicians may need to prescribe treatment for patients who become addicted to the medications. Finally, they are vulnerable to patients who forge their signatures or use other illegal means to obtain prescriptions, or who present with fraudulent symptoms, or plead or threaten when denied the drugs they have requested. Canada's physicians believe that the misuse and abuse of prescription medication is a serious problem and because of its complexity, requires a complex and multifaceted solution. Therefore, the CMA makes the following recommendations to the Committee: 1) A National Strategy to Address the Abuse and Misuse of Prescription Medication The CMA recommends that the federal government work with provincial/territorial governments and other stakeholders to develop and implement a comprehensive national strategy to address the misuse and abuse of prescription medication in Canada. The CMA has consistently recommended a comprehensive national strategy to address the problems of drug abuse in Canada, whether of illegal or prescription-based substances. The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, in its report First Do No Harm: Responding to Canada's Prescription Drug Crisis, has offered nearly 60 recommendations toward the development of a strategy to combat misuse of prescription medications. The CMA believes that such a strategy should include: a) Prevention: Existing community programs and social marketing campaigns to address prescription drug abuse are generally aimed at young recreational users. For example, since many such users report that they get drugs from their parents' or friends' medicine cabinets, many jurisdictions have implemented prescription "take-back" programs, and education campaigns to promote safe storage and disposal of medications. Prevention strategies aimed at other types of prescription drug abuse, and targeting other populations such as health care providers, are still required. b) Treatment: Appropriate services for the treatment of addiction to prescription drugs are also a vital part of a national strategy. The CMA recommends that all partners work to improve and promote access to treatment programs - not only for treatment of addiction, such as pharmacological interventions, support and counselling, and withdrawal management, but also to treat and manage pain. In particular, the CMA recommends improving access to culturally appropriate treatment, counselling and withdrawal management programs in rural and remote areas, and for First Nations. c) Consumer Protection: There are several ways in which consumer protection strategies may form part of a strategy. One is modifications to the drugs themselves. For example, opioid manufacturers have developed formulations of their products intended to minimize their abuse potential, such as "slow-release" formulations and other forms of tamper-proofing to reduce a drug's potential for abuse. CMA supports further investigation into abuse-deterrent technologies. d) Surveillance and Research: Our knowledge of the extent of the prescription drug abuse problem in Canada, and the effectiveness of strategies proposed to combat it, is limited by a number of factors. These will be more specifically addressed later in this brief. 2) Strategies to Enhance Optimal Prescribing in Canada The CMA recommends that governments at all levels work with prescribers and the public, industry and other stakeholders to develop and implement a nationwide strategy to support optimal prescribing and medication use in Canada. In an ideal world, all patients would be prescribed the medications that have the most beneficial effect on their condition while doing the least possible harm. The CMA acknowledges that we have not yet achieved that ideal, but believes that optimal prescribing in Canada is a goal worth achieving. Our 2010 position statement "A Prescription for Optimal Prescribing" (Appendix A) recommends a national strategy to promote best practices in prescribing, and its recommendations can be applied to the specific situation of prescription drug abuse. Key elements of this strategy are: * Relevant, objective and easily accessible information for prescribers, which can readily be incorporated into every day practice. This can include clinical decision-support tools for use at the point of care. * Ongoing development and dissemination of clinical guidance in pain management. A Canadian practice guideline for use of opioids to treat chronic non-cancer pain, prepared under the direction of the multi-stakeholder National Opioid Use Guideline Group (NOUGG), was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal on June 15, 2010. A number of plans for dissemination of this guideline are under way, under the direction of the Michael G. DeGroote National Pain Centre at McMaster University. They include an online CME module, co-sponsored by the CMA, which is now being finalized by MDcme.ca, a professional education group based at Memorial University. * Educational programs for prescribers in pain management and in the management of addictions. Both addiction treatment and pain management should be part of the educational curriculum in medical school and residency training as well as in continuing education. Educational programs could also provide prescribers with advice on how to recognize addiction in a patient, or on how to deal with fraudulent or aggressive patients. * Ensuring that prescribers have access to expert advice if required. This could be achieved through such means as: o Academic detailing programs, which use personalized one-on-one techniques to deliver impartial prescribing information to practitioners. o Communities of practice and clinical support networks that link practitioners with experts in the field. Experts can not only provide clinical information, but can provide mentorship and personal advice on best practices. 3) Monitoring and Surveillance of Prescription Drug Abuse The CMA recommends that all levels of government work with one another and health professional regulatory agencies to develop a pan-Canadian system of real-time prescription drug abuse monitoring and surveillance. One of the challenges in dealing with prescription drug abuse is the incompleteness of our knowledge of the extent of the problem, or of the most effective ways to address it. This means that physicians do not have access in real time to the information they need, at the point of care. For example, except in Prince Edward Island, physicians do not have the ability to look up a patient's medical history to determine if he or she has received a prescription from another source. Prescription monitoring programs exist in most provinces, but they vary in quality, in the nature of the information they require, and in the purpose for which data is collected. Some are administered by regulatory colleges, others by governments. The CMA recommends that national standards be developed for prescription monitoring programs, to ensure that all jurisdictions across Canada are collecting the same information in a standard way. Standardization of surveillance and monitoring systems can have a number of positive effects: * It can help identify fraudulent attempts to obtain a prescription, such as an attempt to fill prescriptions from a number of different providers. * It can help deter cross-provincial fraud. * It can help professional regulatory bodies actively monitor and intervene, as needed, with practitioners suspected of over-prescribing or over-dispensing frequently-misused medications. * Finally, it will help researchers gather consistent data to improve our knowledge of the problem, identify research priorities, and determine best practices to address crucial issues. The CMA also recommends that this system be electronic and that it be compatible with electronic medical and pharmacy record systems, and with provincial pharmaceutical databases such as British Columbia's. Provincial and territorial governments should work with the federal government and with health care providers to improve the standardization and sharing of information where appropriate. Prescription monitoring programs should be evaluated to ascertain their effectiveness in reducing misuse and abuse. We are pleased that federal, provincial and territorial health ministries have expressed interest in working together on issues related to prescription drug abuse, and we hope that this will result in a coherent national system for monitoring and surveillance, and thus to improved knowledge about the nature of the problem and its most effective solutions. In conclusion, the Canadian Medical Association reiterates the deep concern of Canada's physicians about prescription drug abuse and misuse in this country. We are committed to enhancing optimal prescribing and to working with governments to develop and implement a strong, coherent plan of action to address this pressing national problem.
CMA Response: Health Canada's Medical Marijuana Regulatory Proposal
The Canadian Medical Association welcomes the opportunity to comment on proposed changes to Health Canada's Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, published in the Canada Gazette, Part I on December 15, 2012. CMA provided comments on the proposed changes when Health Canada first announced them in June 2011. Our position on these changes, and indeed on the entire Medical Marihuana Access Program (MMAP), has been consistent since the program was initiated. We remain deeply concerned that, though the program has made a physician's authorization the key to a patient's access to medical marijuana, physicians and other health professionals have little to no evidence-based information about its use as medical therapy. As our President, Dr. Anna Reid, noted in December, the regulatory proposals are "equivalent to asking doctors to prescribe while blindfolded." Health Canada gives two reasons for its regulatory proposal: first, to address concerns about the safety of home grow-ops; and secondly, to reduce the cost of administering a program that has proven more popular than anticipated. Neither of these reasons is related to improving patient care or advancing our clinical knowledge of marijuana as a medical treatment. CMA understands that many Canadians suffer constant pain from chronic or terminal illnesses and are searching for anything that will provide relief. We know that some patients find that use of marijuana relieves their symptoms and that some health professionals also believe it has therapeutic value. However, we are concerned that these claims remain inadequately supported by scientific research. Controlled studies of medical marijuana have been published recently and some have shown benefits. However, these studies are few in number, of short duration and with small samples, and knowledgeable clinicians say that more research is required. In addition, some say that marijuana has become more potent since it became a popular recreational drug in the 1960s, though others disagree,1 and growers say they can develop strains tailored to the needs of individual medical users.2 Though these claims are part of the popular understanding of medical marijuana, there is no scientifically valid evidence that supports them. What Physicians Have Told Us In May 2012, CMA surveyed members of its "e-panel" of physicians to obtain more information about their attitudes and needs regarding medical marijuana. The survey received just over 600 responses out of more than 2,200, for a 27 per cent response rate. Among the findings: * About 70 per cent of respondents had been asked by patients to approve medical marijuana, though only four per cent said they were asked to do so "often." Of those who were asked, one-third reported that they "never" supported such requests, while 18 per cent "usually" did so. * 64 per cent of respondents were concerned that patients who request medical marijuana may actually be using it for recreational purposes; * A large majority of respondents said they would find more information on the appropriate use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, and on its therapeutic benefits and risks, useful or very useful. * About two-thirds agreed or strongly agreed that they would feel more comfortable if: o Physicians wishing to use medical marijuana in their practices were required to undergo special training and licensing; and, o Health Canada offered them protection from liability. * In open-ended questions, some respondents expressed favourable views on marijuana's medical benefits. However, a larger number expressed concern over its harmful effects, such as: psychotic symptoms, especially in younger people; potential for addiction and dependency; and the risks to lung health from smoking it or any other substance. Marijuana is Not Like Other Therapeutic Products Theoretically, marijuana, when used for medicinal purposes, is regulated under the Food and Drugs Act. However, because of its unique legal position, Health Canada has exempted it from the applications of the Act and its regulations, and it has not undergone the scrutiny of benefits and risks required of other therapeutic products approved for use in Canada, be they prescription-only or over-the-counter. According to the Food and Drugs Act (FDA), all drugs requiring a health professional's authorization must be approved for use by Health Canada, based on evidence of effectiveness obtained from controlled clinical trials, which remain the best currently available means of validating knowledge. In addition, Health Canada has a system of post-market surveillance to keep track of problems that arise with prescription drugs in real-world use. Though the CMA has been critical of some aspects of this system,3 we acknowledge that it has added to our body of knowledge on drug safety risks. If marijuana were not an illegal product, it might have been assessed through some form of pre-approval and post-approval surveillance. By exempting marijuana from the FDA's pre-approval and post-approval requirements, Health Canada has lost an opportunity to improve our knowledge of the drug's therapeutic uses. The Views of Canadians A recent online survey conducted by Ipsos-Reid on behalf of the CMA provides insight into the views of Canadians on Health Canada's regulatory proposal.4 The survey found: * 92 per cent of Canadians think it is very or somewhat important that Health Canada not remove itself from its oversight role until guidelines are put in place for physicians; * 90 per cent believe that research on the effectiveness, safety and risks of medical marijuana is needed before Health Canada removes itself from the authorization process; * 85 per cent of Canadians believe medical marijuana should be subject to the same rigorous testing and approval standards as other medicines; * 79 per cent agree that Health Canada has a responsibility to maintain its role in the authorization process.; The Role of the Physician The CMA cannot with certainty predict the consequences of these regulatory changes for the practising physician (and, if the regulations are approved, for the nurse practitioner as well). However, we have several causes for concern: * The gatekeeper role of health professionals: The most significant change, from our point of view, is that Health Canada is removing itself from the approval process, making it a transaction between the patient, the practitioner and the licensed producer. In addition, Section 125 of the regulatory proposal would reduce the content of the authorization form, from its current two-page format to a brief document requiring little more information than is required for a standard medical prescription. We are concerned that these changes will put an even greater onus on physicians than do the current regulations. The CMA agrees with the Federation of Medical Regulatory Authorities that the lack of evidence to support the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes signifies that it is not a medical intervention. In our opinion, putting physicians in the role of gatekeeper for access to marijuana is inappropriate and may be an abdication of responsibility on Health Canada's part.5 Such a move could increase physicians' liability risk and put them at odds with their medical regulatory authorities, which have no choice but to continue to advise physicians to exercise extreme caution. The CMA believes, as does the Canadian Medical Protective Association, that a drug's approval under the Food and Drugs Act does not impose a legal obligation on physicians or nurse practitioners to authorize its use if, in their judgment, it is clinically inappropriate. The Ontario Court of Appeal reached a similar decision recently in the case of R. v. Mernagh. * Protection of Physician Privacy. Under the proposed regulations, health information and physician data - such as the patient's name and date of birth, or the provider's licence number - will be collected by licensed producers who may not be subject to the same regulatory and privacy constraints as the health care sector. The draft regulations also indicate that the licensed producer is expected to confirm that the data on the "medical document" is correct and complete - in other words, health providers who authorize medical marijuana use will receive correspondence from the producer. We are very concerned about the risks this would pose to the privacy of patient and health care provider information. We believe Health Canada should conduct a privacy impact assessment of its proposed regulations or, if it has done so, to share the results. * Physicians as Dispensers. Section 124 of the proposed regulations would allow authorized health care practitioners to "sell, provide or administer dried marijuana." This is contrary to Article 46 of the CMA Guidelines for Physicians in Interactions with Industry, which states that "Physicians should not dispense pharmaceuticals or other products unless they can demonstrate that these cannot be provided by an appropriate other party."6 * Other possible consequences. We are also concerned about other potential consequences of the regulatory changes. Will more people go to health professionals requesting an authorization, on the assumption that the new regulations will make it easier to get? Will entrepreneurs seize the opportunity to establish "dispensaries" whose intended clientele are not those in legitimate medical need, as recent news stories have suggested?7 Will medical marijuana advocates put increased pressure on physicians to authorize its use? Meeting the Information Needs of Physicians In one respect, Health Canada has listened to physicians' concerns regarding the lack of evidence about medical marijuana, and acknowledged the need to remedy this problem. Though it is not addressed in the draft regulations, Health Canada has established an Expert Advisory Committee (EAC) to help provide comprehensive information to health professionals. The CMA has attended meetings of this committee in an observer capacity, suggested the names of practising physicians to serve as members, and made a presentation to the committee at its meeting in November 2012. If the EAC follows the CMA's suggestions, it will consider actively supporting the following activities: * Funding of scientific research on the clinical risks and benefits of marijuana; * Knowledge translation activities to convert this research into accessible, user-friendly tools for education and practice; * Development of best practice guidelines in the therapeutic use of marijuana. Though this guideline would of necessity be based on "C" level evidence, it would be an improvement on what now exists; and * Support for a compulsory training and licensing program for physicians wanting to authorize marijuana for medicinal purposes. The CMA believes that the EAC should be given the mandate and resources to undertake these activities. Conclusion Health Canada's stated mission is to help the people of Canada maintain and improve their health. The CMA believes that if Health Canada wants its Medical Marihuana Access Program to serve this mission, it should not withdraw from administering the program, leaving it to health professionals working within a large knowledge gap. Rather, it should support solid research into the use of marijuana as medication and make a commitment to share this knowledge with the health professional community and to support best clinical practices. 1 Bonsor K: "How marijuana works".

In The Mentalist Season 3 DVD, Red John strikes into the heart of the CBI. Ever since the serial killer murdered Patrick Jane's family, the California Bureau of Investigation consultant and former faux-psychic has become obsessed with finding the man who destroyed his life. But after a homicide suspect is set ablaze in his jail cell and a CBI agent is later framed as Red John, Patrick realizes his adversary is closer than he imagined. The Mentalist Season 3 DVD hit procedural combines crime-solving twists with wry humor that celebrate mind over matter. In settings from gold country to the racetrack to a martial-arts cage brawl, unconventional Patrick uses his unique skills of observation and manipulation to buck the system.
The final confrontation between Jane and Red John was well played. Jane finally met the devil face to face and their were no horns. the season 3 finale of The Mentalist is a solid one and so unpredictable.
We have disconnect cable TV about five years ago. A friend told us about the DVD, even we are glad to show. Our family likes watching them more than once, when buying the entire season, (or a couple/a few season!) Very glad to see. We do "let our money's worth"... The quality is good, the story is very interesting, detective mysterious, etc. Love the cast of the play...... We can't wait until next season!

Lesbian teacher sues school district for harassment
Was told to be more feminine
by Mike Andrew - SGN Staff Writer
A Lesbian former civics teacher is suing the Virginia school district where she used to work for harassment because of her sexual orientation and gender expression.
Dina Persico says school officials told her to dress in a 'more feminine' way, and at one point barred her from using the women's restroom at her workplace.
The ex-teacher said the alleged harassment was started by staff at Providence Middle School but got worse when she moved on to work at Midlothian High School.
'It was suggested that if I seemed more feminine, I would be less intimidating as a person,' explained Persico.
Persico charged that one school principal even questioned her appearance, telling her, 'If you just throw a skirt on once in a while, we wouldn't have any of these problems.'
Persico, who has filed a federal lawsuit, told the local ABC 8News channel that school administrators told her that her 'appearance is too flamboyant.'
She added that 'It's said with intent, and that intent is to say that 'you're gay.'
The former teacher explained that she normally wore a shirt, pants, sneakers, and a sweater or fleece to work. She said that her work outfits were similar to those of other colleagues, highlighting one male English teacher specifically, who were not asked by school officials to change their appearance.
Persico's employee handbook does not specify much in the way of dress code, stating only that teachers must have a 'professional image.'
Persico also alleged that she was asked to grow bangs in a school meeting where her wife, who is also a teacher, was present.
Persico's wife, Erin Guthe, told ABC 8News that 'It's very clear to me that my wife was discriminated against because of the way that she expresses her gender.
'I think I, and women like me, are given more of a pass because we appear more feminine.'
Persico says that she suffered harm to her career and to her health. Since the harassment began, she had a mini-stroke, which her doctor said was '100 percent related to stress.'
The school district declined to provide a statement to 8News, saying it did not comment on pending lawsuits.
Persico said she hopes the lawsuit will mean that the district trains staff properly and that employees learn that what 'they did to me was wildly inappropriate.'
Her former students told ABC 8News that she was an exceptional teacher.

Paper Beast is a VR game that turns big data into a peaceful, ethereal world
The latest from Another World creator Eric Chahi
By Cian Maher
The Japanese art of origami is inextricably intertwined with mathematics, as documented by Robert J. Lang in his 2003 book Origami Design Secrets. The art form is based on the transformation of a flat sheet of paper into a rough-edged but innately elegant representation of an object, with the most illustrious example perhaps being that of the paper crane. For legendary game designer Eric Chahi, best known for Another World and Heart of Darkness, paper is innately comparable to the mesmerizingly mysterious world of big data. To communicate this, Chahi formed a studio called Pixel Reef in 2016 and began work on his latest project: PlayStation VR exclusive Paper Beast.
"The idea came after a desire to create a game about wildlife," Chahi tells me over the phone. A few weeks beforehand, I demoed Paper Beast at Gamescom 2019, traversing its wonderfully rich world in virtual reality where data has fostered a unique ecosystem by recompiling itself into artificial life.
In Paper Beast, you play as a VR user exploring this data-derived world, meaning the game is experiential, even meta. From what I played, your task is to discover all kinds of strange anomalies formed from chunks of data, some of which are primal but sentient paper beasts. The fact that none of it makes sense right away is what makes it special: it's an utterly weird world composed of code, but it feels strangely alive. In fact, it is alive.
Chahi explains that he conceived the core idea for Paper Beast quite some time before he began developing the game. For him, the idea was spinning around his head "like a satellite rotating around that has to connect things together." The modern world sees an abundance of information existing in virtual space, perpetually rebounding from one point to another. "Today, we have a lot of data everywhere, and we are ourselves too much in the flow of information, like email," he explains. "There's so much information everywhere."
Chahi knew this could make for an innovative and intriguing thematic base for a game, but he was unsure of how to realize his vision and connect the dots. From the first prototype, he was set on juxtaposing paper with big data and creating a world teeming with unique flora and fauna. "It's not realistic, but there's a connection to data," he tells me. "The first use of paper is to write on it, which strongly connects it to data, [because] it's a connection to information. So why not create a universe born out of big data?"
"It's a metaphorical idea."
Chahi had a starting point, but he knew he needed to push the envelope further if he wanted to successfully create a data-derived, self-sufficient ecosystem. "When you're in the game, it might seem a bit realistic," he explains. "But there is some kind of glitch or anomaly everywhere, like the cloud or later in the sky and in the storm. And these animals are made of paper or some strange materials. In the game, you should feel the pressure of big data, which is born out of data. But sometimes there's an intrusion in this world, which is not always super cool for these animals."
Before long, however, the poetry within Paper Beast becomes startlingly clear. Conceptually, it's an experimental project in both game design and AI philosophy, but it's also deeply rooted in the way we consider nature in contemporary life. As Chahi puts it, "It's difficult to get out of the flow [of data]," which is why the juxtaposition of real and digital worlds becomes so quickly and poignantly affecting.
However, this is more of a thought experiment than a prediction. "It's a metaphorical idea," Chahi explains. "I think if it happened, it wouldn't be like Paper Beast. It would be something super different. If something emerged from the consciousness of some computer and could pick up parts of what we put in it, we can imagine some image [of that]. But we don't know. I think with AI, we'll be super surprised in 20 years, or maybe less. We keep learning. It's sometimes super scary."
Within the world of Paper Beast, a plethora of curios and anomalies exist in harmony with one another. However, one particular creature, which serves as your guide in this strangely sublime sphere, stands out among the rest as not only sentient, but peculiarly intelligent. You can puppeteer the smaller beasts, picking them up with your meta powers as they contort into a ragdoll state, before gently placing them down to resume their grazing on corporeal chunks of data. But this bigger creature cannot be controlled, only understood.
"This one is super mysterious," Chahi explains, "because that creature is the first connection between the Paper Beast universe and the player. It's the creature that is most conscious of the player. Why is this the case? It's a mystery. But later in the adventure, you'll meet this creature again." Cryptic, but thus is the nature of a data-born microcosm bustling with strange and unintended life.
"It's an engine inside an engine."
Chahi wants players to experience the joy of discovery when this creature tentatively greets them and begins to showcase its digital domain. He wants those who venture across his world to recognize that it's steeped in its own miracles of life, which are simultaneously mysterious and peaceful and, on occasion, anxiety-inducing.
"The most important thing is the interaction with Paper Beast's universe, feeling that it's alive, that it's really autonomous and these creatures have their own behaviors," he tells me. "It's like the pleasure of discovering a world not only by seeing it, but by interacting with it and touching it and living something unique and exceptional. Sometimes in life, you go to a mountain, and it's sunny. Then, suddenly, there's a storm, you get some rain, and you have to go somewhere. But it's a surprise. And when you remember this, it can be a good memory because you lived something intense and beautiful at the same time."
In Chahi's eyes, this Classical idea of sublimity lies at the heart of Paper Beast. "Some games are poetic," he says, "but Paper Beast is poetic in every aspect." However, Chahi's game is literally embedded in poetry to the extent that it's built with an engine designed not only to create it, but to set a precedent for its entire purpose. "There is Unity, and inside Unity, there's another engine," Chahi explains. "The one we developed because we did our own physics, and 95 percent of the rendering is our rendering. It's an engine inside an engine."
The primary reason Chahi designed his own engine was to make Paper Beast compatible with VR systems. According to him, virtual reality demands a massive amount of tuning and optimization that his team couldn't achieve with Unity proper "because Unity is a black box, and sometimes we can't do everything we need to do." This is where the poetry hits home. "Internally, we call [the engine] Atoll," he explains. "We named it Atoll because we wanted the development environment to be peaceful to create. And it's the same philosophy for Pixel Reef. Pixel Reef as a company is just a place for creative people to be peaceful and create something together."
"Some games are poetic. But 'Paper Beast' is poetic in every aspect."
For those who don't know, an atoll is a circular reef encompassing a lagoon where the actual coral often rests upon an extinct volcano submerged deep beneath the water. Interestingly — and, paradoxically, beautifully — the atoll can only exist so long as a slow rate of erosion allows it to gradually increase in size, combining decay with growth and destruction with creation. This idea echoed through the conclusion of my demo where a cataclysmic storm began to inhale chunks of data into an unknown abyss. As a means of rescuing you from the encroaching danger, your mysterious guide escorts you to a dimly lit cave before confining you to darkness by pushing a boulder in front of the entrance, locking you in but sheltering you from the storm. It's entirely nonverbal, but it's incredibly raw and emotional, creating a link between you and the unorthodox virtual world of Paper Beast.
"It's always a pleasure to speak about your games," Chahi tells me before we say our respective goodbyes. "If you have time, I have time." His parting words perfectly symbolize his passion for this wonderfully weird world of data fostering life where your meta performance as a PSVR player is designed to cause you to question your sentiments about real life. It's a world where code becomes a sort of life force. And by the end of it, the lines between reality and big data begin to blur, and what was once artificial becomes real, powerful, and deeply affecting.
Paper Beast is launching later this year for PlayStation VR.
