Епархия Полистилуса () — титулярная епархия Римско-Католической церкви.

История
Античный город Полистилус, идентифицируемый сегодня с археологическими раскопками древнегреческого города Абдеры, находился в римской провинции Македония диоцеза Македонии. Епархия Полистилуса была основана в IX веке в городе Полистилус, возникшем на руинах города древнегреческого Абдеры. В первом половине XIV века город Полистилус был разрушен землетрясением и епархия прекратила своё существование.

Епархия Полистилуса входила в Филиппийскую митрополию. Известен единственный епископ Полистилуса под именем Димитрий, который принял участие в Четвёртом Константинопольском соборе 879 года.

С 1915 года епархия Полистилуса является титулярной епархией Римско-Католической церкви. Одновременно с епархий Полистилуса существовала титулярная епархия Абдеры, которая была упразднена в 1931 году.

Греческие епископы
 епископ Димитрий (упоминается в 879 году).

Титулярные епископы

NEW: Support for larger 6Plus screen size.
The globaledit app now supports the native resolution for the latest iPhones. This gives you pixel-perfect images and a tweaked UI to better take advantage of the increased space. All images now display at higher-resolutions for Retina displays.
In the grid view you can now filter images using all of our standard tools. This helps you quickly sort thought thousands of photos to exactly the Selects, that are rated 5 stars, and colored red.
We've made two big changes to the picker. First, there is now a single upload button to support both Video and Photo uploads. Second, you may now upload images from iCloud to globaledit. If you've moved lots of images to iCloud to save space, or want to upload a photo from year ago – you can now do so seamlessly as if they were an image stored right on your phone. Simply select the thumbnail you want imported into globaledit.
Photos in portrait mode are now cropped from the top-down. The previous method cropping from the center-out and sometime created sub-optimal results, particularly with images of people. The new cropping algorithm does a much better job creating natural looking images.
There was a pesky bug that prevented some users from saving markups on iOS if the image was in a shared lightbox. This release fixes that problem.
You can continue to download and run your existing version of globaledit for iOS. When you upgrade to the newest version of the operating system you will be able to download the current version with iOS9 support and the features listed above.

Today we take the time to give thanks for the life and message of Martin Luther and the many men and women of the Reformation.
In our world today these themes are so beaten down and twisted – if they can be heard at all – even in the church at large.
A sad example of how the church and society have gotten away from the basics of the Christian faith is yesterday's edited interview of Archbishop Joseph Kurtz which was printed in Scranton Times-Tribune. The Archbishop is the President of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and he was in town speaking at the Conference on disABILITY at the University of Scranton. I wish I could have heard him speak at the conference, but here in this substantial interview that focused on disabilities, but also ranged to the church's use of technology, to homosexuality and evolution, the thing that I noticed right away is that he never spoke of Christ or sin or salvation. Never did he mention or refer to scripture! We see that the true power of God, the Gospel of Jesus Christ (which has direct bearing on each those issues he spoke about) has been simply stripped from our Christian faith! Even high leaders in the church are somehow stricken dumb by Satan and the world and cannot utter the name of Jesus. They try to find any explanation they can other than sin to explain the problems of the world.
So Blessed Reformation Day to you! Let Jesus be the heart and soul of our Reformation lives together! Let the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ reign in our lives and thrill us at every turn. Amen.

Rheological investigation of a starch-based binder and feedstock for metal injection molding
Hooman Abolhasani, Norhamidi Muhamad
Department of Mechanical & Materials Engineering
This study investigates rheological characteristics of a new binder system based on tapioca starch for metal injection moulding (MIM) process. First in this work, a composition of starch and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) as a binder has been provided. Mixture of binder and 316L stainless steel metal powder has been used subsequently to prepare three types of feedstocks with 56, 57 and 58% vol. powder loading. Rheological analysis of the binder and the feedstocks has been accomplished by means of a capillary rheometer. Viscosity values for binders have been measured lower than 10 Pa.s meanwhile this parameter has been obtained less than 1000 Pa.s for feedstocks. It has been observed that binder and feedstocks possess pseudo-plastic flow behaviour which is one of the most crucial requirements in MIM process. Experiments in this study confirm that tapioca starch has the potential to be used as a binder for in MIM process.

It was a lazy day. I was relaxing after all my final year exams got finished, chilling at home munching on Mom's yummy food at Kochi. I had been thinking about an unplanned trip for quite some time and was talking to Mom about my plans. That's when my Friend and travel mate Akhil came in. He had a backpack with him. I was planning on starting off after a couple of days, but unplanned trips sure don't work that way! . I was not at all prepared.
He gave me a look with mischief and asked me where my backpack was. I was lost for couple of seconds and I understood this is how things are gonna work for us for the days to come. I finished my lunch fast, went into my room and stuffed all sorts of things i could find into my backpack, asked mom for Rs 3000 and bid adieu and started off. Thus began a journey of a lifetime!
No destination, but only the journey was in our mind. It was truly mixed emotions we had in our head, fear,excitement, curiosity to see new things all at once haunted us.
Our starting point was Coimbatore, on may 5th. After meeting my friend's brother at his hostel, Akhil and I just started walking on the main road, wondering how to proceed. Sweltering under the hot summer mid-afternoon sun, we took shelter under a tree and tossed a coin to decide our mode of travel. I was beyond glad when the result was hitchhiking !.
Thus, having decided to hitchhike, we hit the road away from the hustle and bustle of the main city and was lucky enough to stop a lorry. We reached Salem by 10 o'clock and took a train to Bengaluru, since chances of getting a lift are slim during that time of the hour.
We reached Bengaluru by 2AM the next day. After reaching Bangalore and settling down at a friend's place, we decided to hit Himachal after researching for a bit. But we had something to do at Hyderabad, so we dicided to go there first. From there we would go to Delhi, met another friend and set off to Himachal. That was our plan.
After a fun day at a friend's place, we set off to catch the Bangalore-Bhubaneswar express.
Our train journey gave us a perfect companion in the form of Darshan, a traveler from Coorg, in whom we saw a potential partner in our humble crime .
He vibed so much with us and we got talking, it was his suggestion that made up our minds as to our destination change— The North East. We were scared ,but decided that it is now or never. We got down at Anantpur, to a friend's place, and Darshan continued on to Bhubaneswar. We had exchanged numbers and he told us to give him a call when we make up our minds.
After spending an entire day at Anantpur, we started off to Hyderabad.
"Every general compartment that we travelled in had nothing in common. Some were super crowded, some empty. Some super clean and smelt really nice while some were unbearable. You meet all kinds of people from different backgrounds. It's a unique experience that teaches you how to adjust, and at the same time gives you many memories to cherish.
During the long duration of your train journey when you have so much free time, your mind wanders and no matter what you think, your thought process is bound to lead to the ultimate "what to do in life" question. And it's common knowledge that when in doubt, travel. So I decided to find the answer to the question in this trip".
After doing the deeds we had to do at Hyderabad, we started off to Kolakata. We called up Darshan and made plans to meet at Kolkata and travel the North east together!. It was quiet an exciting time for us. We passed through places like Vijayawada, Vizag, Odisha and Kharagpur and made mental notes to stop at these places next time. For now, we were basking in the beauty of these developing cities as they rushed away outside the window of their general compartment.
The city which is just lit at night.
We reached Siliguri and got stuck there for the day. We slept at the railway station. After a night filled with huge mosquito bites, we woke up, freshed up at the railway station and set off to Sikkim!
As we reached Darjeeling, we could feel change everywhere.
Concrete lands were morphing to give way to beautiful fields and hills.Textures of people began to change. The shops were neater, the roads cleaner, there was beauty everywhere. The vibes were very different. Everyone was happy and peaceful all the time, the influence of Buddhism probably being one reason.
I don't know whether it was because we didn't have much food, or because we didn't really know what to do next, but we began to feel low for the first time since our trip started.
It was then that we met this beautiful couple who served us the best chowmein we've ever had. We also met these kids, who were so happy, so content, so heartwarming to watch. Their innocent, joyous smiles and the food that was served to us with so much love, upped our ante.
Fueled by renewed energy, we decided to walk to Sikkim, no matter how long it takes. We started walking , from Darjeeling to Jorthang,The sikkim border. Luckily we got a lift on the way, from a cab driver who agreed to drop at us Pelling, a beautiful village in Sikkim.
We stayed at a hotel overnight in Pelling, to wake up to the view of the highest mountain range of India. Mt. Kanchenjunga was gleaming , the sunlight bouncing off the snow caps. That was our first ever view of the Himalayas,and it blew us away.!
I was so mesmerised by the aura it cast, so caught in its spell, I just can't put the feeling into words.
It was this very feeling that i was hoping to experience. I've never been more content.
Helipads at Sikkim are also a mustn't miss hotspots. Surrounded by towering mountains, they are a sight to behold. After checking out one such Helipad and a monastery, we decided to go to Yumthang, to get nearer to the mighty Kanchenjunga. We trekked down a forest route and met a few children who helped us find the way down. People here are so good to be true!
That night, they crashed in a hut down by the Teesta River, the owner of the hut having generously offered them his dwelling, which had nothing but a single bed.
Sikkim-The land of love, beauty and adventure.The land of peace and tranquility.
We woke up to the sounds of birds chirping and noises that the river made. Refreshed and rejuvenated, we got ready to continue on our beautiful tryst with travel and adventure.
It was then that we realized that there has been a mix-up, and the place where we were supposed to go was actually Yumthang. Stumped, we kicked ourselves for the mishap. Nevertheless, the trek proved worthwhile because Yuksom, the former capital of Sikkim and the place where the Three Lamas first met, was just as alluring.
We thought the journey to Sikkim was over and we where trying for way to get back to Siliguri so that we could get to Meghalaya, our next destination. We got a Lift from a couple, who live at Ravongla. The time was late and after listening to our story's and about the mishap, they bursted out laughing.
It happened that the guy whose name was Manish had a hotel at Ravangla,Hotel Ravongla Star where he offered us a room.
The wonderful people at Ravongla who hosted us.
We couldn't believe our luck. One night we were sitting on a stone cold floor sipping black tea and the next night we couldn't decide what to eat from the assortment of dishes placed in front of us! The manager was one of the nicest people I've ever met. Understanding our condition and the fact that we had literally zero money in hand, he offered us free rooms, complete with television, coffee maker , and comfortable quilts.
The next day morning, they took a look around the famous Ravangla Monastery. The supremely huge and magnificent Buddha statue, the calm and peaceful atmosphere, the beautiful surroundings, the low sounds of Buddhist hymns in the background — every aspect of this place of retreat had us spellbound.
We bid adios to friends we made and continued on to Siliguri. It was time to hit our next Destination, Meghalaya.
In order to access the seven sisters, one has to come to Siliguri and then go to Guwahati , where the diversion begins. So upon reaching Siliguri by taxi, we took a train to Guwahati. From there, we took a bus to the outskirts of the city, and proceeded to walk on a highway. We were amazed when we saw that on one side it was Assam and on the other side it was Meghalaya — the median literally divided both the states. And finally after a three hour wait, we got a bus to Shillong.
The median which separates Meghalaya and Assam.
That night, we stayed in a youth hostel and happened to meet an inspiring couple who have been exploring the north east for the past six months. Once IT engineers, they found each other on a trek. A short while later, they decided to quit their jobs and start travelling. It has been one and a half years, and they have never looked back. Their travel tales are truly inspiring.
After a decent meal, all five of us proceeded to a quiet spot next to the river, made a bonfire, and huddled close to it, sharing their life stories.
"Travelling gives you the opportunity to meet so many people who often have so many stories to tell.
Sitting there, in the cold, with the fire heating you up, listening to awesome stories, with only the sound of the river flowing in the background, it's an amazing experience.
Next day, we set off for Cherrapunjee, taking turns to hitchhike. Along the way we met a guy who had similar plans and by evening, all of us somehow reached our destination, travelling in pairs. After watching the sunset, we decided to stay in a hotel for the night, since it was too late to do anything. Early morning next day, we started trekking to the root bridges.
After a swim, we bid farewell to our short time companion , and the three of them trekked further to the rainbow waterfalls. It was noon.
After spending a good time in the waters, tired and exhausted, we trudged back onto the road, hoping for a free ride. After hours of no luck, we almost gave up in sheer despair, when a driver offered them a lift, for free. That's when we truly started believing the universe. If you want something badly, it will come to you in some way or the other.
The next day, we again started taking turns to hitchhike. Me and Akhil went and met at a point but there was no sign of Darshan to be found. Not minding it much initially, we waited for him, but as it grew dark, we started getting really worried. His phone was repeatedly saying switched off. Soon it was night, but no Darshan came. A school teacher who offered us a lift consoled us, asking us not to worry, and dropped them off at a hotel. With still no luck in contacting our lost friend, we decided to stay there for the night, having nothing else to do.
After going back to Guwahati, we took a train to Kolkata. We were at the Howrah railway station when we finally got a call from Darshan. It seemed that he had an urgent situation and had to go to Bangalore. After ticking him off for disappearing without a trace, our hearts finally lifted a little. We then took a train to Visakhapatnam, where we stayed for a day or two. We visited the Kailasagiri mountains, atop which you could actually see the easternmost curve of india along the sea, just like in a map.
It was days since we properly talked to each other because we were too worried about our companion. And finally, sitting there atop the mountain with the beautiful sea below, we were finally calm.
Turning to look at Akhil, I smiled at him, and it slowly dawned on me that we had actually done it. We were safe and sound, almost back home from one of the most amazing experiences of our lives.
As we sat there watching the sunset, I remembered all the wonderful people we were lucky enough to meet — I remembered how much love they showed us.
I remembered the kids who dared us to a race through the hills of Sikkim. I remembered the tiny boy who wrapped his little fist around my finger and carefully led me through the trees, to his home.
I remembered how he clutched my collar and said he'll miss me. I remembered how wonderfully elated and emotional I felt, and how I still regret not asking his name.
I remembered the small girl Avantika, whose energy and joy was contagious and smile heartwarming.
I remembered how it was to see those innocent, beautiful faces, how it transported me back to my childhood.

At least one funeral home worker in Argentina was fired after taking a selfie with the body of recently deceased soccer icon Diego Maradona, according to media reports. Other funeral workers tasked with preparing Maradona for his wake have also come under fire after posting selfies with the body of the late sports legend. Maradona, 60, died Wednesday of a heart attack at his home near Buenos Aires. Maradona's lawyer, Matias Morla, said he would pursue legal action against the man. "To protect the memory of my friend I won't rest until he pays for such an atrocity," Morla wrote on Twitter.

Guo Gan (; born November 15, 1968) is an erhu master from Shenyang, China, now based in Paris, France. Gan was recognized as a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters in 2016. He is the world's first Chinese national folk musician's recipient, and the world's first Chinese erhu performer to win the award.

Biography

Guo Gan started to learn the erhu at the age of four, and was taught by his father, Guo Junming, a famous erhu soloist. Guo Gan was fascinated by western instruments and rounded out his studies by taking up the violin, the cello and the piano while in secondary school (1981-1987). When he was sixteen, he accompanied his father on tour, playing more than 100 concerts in a presentation entitled "Duo for the two-stringed vielle". In 1987 he entered the Shenyang Music Conservatory and in 1991 won a prize with honours for his work on the erhu. At the same time, he studied Chinese and Western percussion instruments and gave a jazz concert for percussion and piano. In 1992, he won first prize in the traditional-music competition in the Lioning Province, and in 1995, he was named professor of erhu and percussion at the Conservatory of Liaoning Province. The same year, he was one of the founders of a jazz group, GYQ, which is well known in China.

Guo Gan moved to Paris, France, in 2000, and obtained a master's degree in percussion from the National Music School of Fresnes.  In 2002, he was invited by Gabriel Yared to play in a recording of the music for the film "L'Idole". He has played in nearly 3000 concerts and published more than 80 albums. He played with many of the world's most famous musician including Lang Lang, Yvan Cassar, Didier Lockwood, Hans Zimmer, Jean Francois Zygel, Gabriel Yared, Nguyen Le and many others.

Our experience was amazing at the outlet store. These sofas are extremely comfortable and a great color.
This couch was the exact style and size we were looking for.
Sat on these twice and noticed a dent in the cushions and wrinkled fabric. Was going to flip over to try to help the situation but there is not fabric of the same underneath as you would find in a normal sofa. We are not heavy people. This should not be happening this soon. Doesn't seem to be happening with the Loveseat.

Extremely comfortable and cute! Bigger in the space than expected but still made it work!
I would definitely recommend this sofa. It is made of good quality material. The cushions are firm but not to firm and comfortable. The sofa is very affordable and was exactly what we were looking for in size, looks, & comfort.
Exactly what I wanted. Quick delivery. Exactly the right price. Great for living room or rec room, durable.
The couch/loveseat set that I recently purchased from Raymour & Flanagan really look great!
Worthy buy! Comfortable, sturdy, looks plush and enhances the look of the room.
We are happy with the furniture we selected. The service at the store was good, the delivery went smoothly and the price was very reasonable. This purchase was for use in a basement room, so buying in the outlet store was a big savings and worked just fine where it is set up.
We are both quite satisfied, if we need to buy anything else we will return.

SMPTE: D-Cinema: D for Disruptive
IBC Daily Team ⋅ Sep 14, 2014
Digital has redefined the possibilities in advancing the movie-going experience and continuing the long tradition of cinema in providing a spectacle that is simply unmatched anywhere else. In this age where technology advances break new ground, and the business challenge is to keep up; are we now entering a disruptive phase of cinema history?
35mm film is not the only cinema technology in use today to have well surpassed its centennial. Arc lamps, its origins in the early 1800's, are still the most common light source in projectors; while 3D can trace its roots to the 1830's. Now, as was then, technology advances and the work of pioneers are pushing the boundaries of both image capture and reproduction in the cinema.
There is a strong focus on the disruption of cinema in the 'Big Screen Experience' stream here at IBC2014. Looking at the number of areas that will are covered, such as second screen, live events, cloud production and immersive audio, it is clear that the industry is experiencing the biggest period of change in its history. So what will become of the technologies that are now nearly 200 years old?
Projector light sources have long been an area of advancement in cinema. Early projectors using incandescent and limelight, were quickly superseded by the arc lamp. While this technology has advanced from carbon rods to the xenon and high-pressure sodium lamps of today, the principle has not changed much – an electric arc producing a wide spectrum light source.
Arc lamps in cinema do have shortcomings such as energy efficiency that limits practical brightness and achievable colour reproduction and contrast ratio. Laser projection may be the answer to these issues, and this technology is now finding its way from the lab to the cinema.
With consumer focus on more pixels in the shape of 4K projection and Ultra High Definition Television (UHD-TV), the professional side of the industry has been pushing to complement this with 'better' pixels. The new breed of cinema laser projection delivers image improvements such as wider colour gamut and increased dynamic range both of which compliment higher resolution.
Peter Ludé, founding chair of the Laser Illuminated Projector Association (LIPA) and Immediate Past President and Fellow of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), is helming the IBC2014 sessions looking at this topic. Ludé's panels look at subjects such as the commercial rollout, safety and regulations and the finer technical details of colour reproduction, the human visual system and the laser specific challenge of 'speckle.'
There's a chance to see the very latest in laser projection technology with a demonstration of Christie's 6 primary 4K-resolution laser projectors in the main auditorium in the RAI. Another SMPTE Fellow and also a SMPTE Standards director, Howard Lukk,is investigating another hot button in cinema at IBC2014, how to improve 3D. Lukk's session covering Tri-focal Camera Systems looks at how this revolutionary new technique creates 'hybrid' 3D, allowing creatives to shoot action as they typically have for 2D movies — while allowing freedom and flexibility of manipulating the 3D depth in postproduction similar to the techniques available in 3D animation.
All areas of media 3D has waxed and waned in popularity over the 100 years it has been used in motion picture. Many of the issues that have dogged 3D are due to the comfort of the viewing experience for the audience. As we understand more about the science of human vision, techniques such as tri-focal allow simplicity for production and also the ability to create 3D in a way that is pleasing and comfortable for the viewer.
Of course, technology only becomes a useful cinematic tool when applied to the art, and IBC2014 delegates are among the first to enjoy the short film Make Believe, shot in Berlin using the tri-focal system that was co-developed by Walt Disney Studios, Fraunhofer HHI and ARRI. Looking further forward, other topics such as cloud technology will start to become even more influential.
Movie Making in the Matrix will look at how virtualisation of resources is affecting production and post in the film and television industry. Productions from both the Hollywood and the independent end of the spectrum have made use of these technologies. However, questions still remain about how elements such as security, bandwidth and choice of service might limit the current applications.
It is clear that internet technology is now becoming ubiquitous in application across all areas of media, and it is not only cinema being disrupted by these advances. In May of 2015, SMPTE will be holding its Forum in Berlin, produced in collaboration with FKTG.
The conference will focus on how the convergence of connectivity, bandwidth, and media technology improvements will impact production and distribution of media across all platforms from cinema and broadcast, to mobile and interactive technologies. The Berlin event will look at the related opportunities and challenges from a European perspective, held over two days at Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (FOKUS).
Aiming to provide fresh perspectives to help engineers, creatives, and researchers understand the technical trends that drive the future of media over the internet.

DocBook enables developers to create technical documentation in XML. Learn how to use it to transform its XML output to PDF and HTML automatically and integrate it into your development environment.
The <xi:include> element is useful for not only structuring your book but also for including source code. One of the common challenges of technical documentation—especially in agile environments—is keeping it in sync with the code. Sample source code in the documentation can get old fast. Source code that is incorporated manually using copy/paste is error prone, hard to test, and likely to get out of date quickly unless someone is willing to continually maintain the code samples. DocBook offers another way.
You can place code that you want included in your documentation into unit tests where it can be automatically tested, refactored as normal, and then mark it up for inclusion in DocBook. It's a simple process to create an extraction program that can crawl the codebase for markup and extract the annotated code into DocBook XML files. You then can include these files, like any other DocBook files using <xi:include>.
The markup can then be processed by an extractor program, such as the one included in the code download for this article, so that the code inside test() can be extracted into the DocBook XML file test.xml. The name of the file is specified by the markup tags.
The advantage of this approach is that you can maintain the code in once place—the source files where it belongs—and unit test it as part of your build. Code included in your documentation is guaranteed to be correct if your unit tests pass. Extraction, along with the DocBook ANT build scripts, can be integrated using an ANT task to ensure that your documentation is always generated and always up to date with your code.
DocBook is an ideal strategy for technical, developer-centric documentation because it enables you to work closely with documentation in the same way you would your code. Popular open-source projects such as Spring and Hibernate use DocBook to generate their documentation. However, as with all technologies it has its downside: it requires a bit of up-front investment to learn how to use XML and the DocBook tags and how to integrate the rendering tools and style sheets into your build processes. You can use other standards such as DITA, also based on XML, as alternatives if they are easier for you though.
Of course, DocBook won't make poorly written documentation better. However, by integrating it into your development environment and leveraging the many DocBook resources available on the Web, you can evolve your documentation with your code—keeping it in sync, even in agile environments—and ensure that you get a professional-looking result at the end, and in the distribution format of your choosing.

Overall GPU shipments dropped 11% from last quarter, AMD slipped 26%, Nvidia fell 16%
Year-to-year total GPU shipments dropped 18.8%—Desktop graphics down 21.7%, notebooks down 16.9%
Discrete GPUs continue to slip as embedded GPUs in the CPU and APU bring better performance for free. The erosion of the low end of the market by tablets seems to have subsided, and even tablet sales were off for the second quarter in a row.
Graphics processors, stand-alone discrete devices, and embedded processor-based GPUs are ubiquitous and essential components in all systems and device today from handheld mobile devices, PCs, and workstations, to TVs, servers, vehicle systems, signage, game consoles, medical equipment, and wearables. New technologies and semiconductor manufacturing processes are taking advantage of the ability of GPU power to scale. The GPU drives the screen of every device we encounter—it is the humane-machine interface.
We have just released a new report on the GPUs found in PCs.
The second quarter is typically down in the seasonality cycles of the past and was below the ten-year average of 6.86%.
Quick highlights:
AMD's overall unit shipments decreased -25.82% quarter-to-quarter, Intel's total shipments decreased -7.39% from last quarter, and Nvidia's decreased -16.19%.
The attach rate of GPUs (includes integrated and discrete GPUs) to PCs for the quarter was 137% which was down -10.82% from last quarter, and 26.43% of PCs had discrete GPUs, which is down -4.15%.
The overall PC market decreased -4.05% quarter-to-quarter, and decreased -10.40% year-to-year.
Desktop graphics add-in boards (AIBs) that use discrete GPUs decreased -16.81% from last quarter.
The second quarter is typically a down quarter as OEMs and the channel clear out older inventory, and get ready for the fall back to school and holiday sales season.
GPUs are traditionally a leading indicator of the market, since a GPU goes into every system before it is shipped, and, however, most of the PC vendors are guiding cautiously for Q3'15.
Q2 2015 markedthe second quarter in a row of a decline in tablets sales. The CAGR for total PC graphics from 2014 to 2017 is down, to -6.1%. We expect the total shipments of graphics chips in 2017 to be 383 million units. down from the peak of 545 inn 2011.
The quarter in general
AMD's shipments of desktop heterogeneous GPU/CPUs, i.e., APUs, increased 25.0% from the previous quarter, and were down -53.5% in notebooks. AMD's discrete desktop shipments decreased -33.33% from last quarter, and notebook discrete shipments decreased -9.1%. The company's overall PC graphics shipments decreased -25.8% from the previous quarter.
Intel's desktop processor embedded graphics (EPGs) shipments decreased from last quarter by -7.4%, and notebooks decreased by -7.3%. The company's overall PC graphics shipments decreased -7.4% from last quarter.
Nvidia's desktop discrete shipments were down -12.03% from last quarter; and the company's notebook discrete shipments decreased -21.6%. The company's overall PC graphics shipment decreased -16.2% from last quarter. The company saw strength in gaming from Western Europe and China which helped it buck a down quarter for the industry.
Total discrete GPU (desktop and notebook) shipments from the last quarter decreased -17.07% and decreased -26.27% from last year. Sales of discrete GPUs fluctuate due to a variety of factors (timing, memory pricing, etc.), new product introductions, and the influence of integrated graphics. Overall, the CAGR from 2014 to 2017 is now -6%.
Ninety nine percent of Intel's non-server processors have graphics, and over 66% of AMD's non-server processors contain integrated graphics; AMD still ships integrated graphics chipsets (IGPs).
Because Graphics chips (GPUs) and chips with graphics (IGPs, APUs, and EPGs) GPUs shipments are a leading indicator for the PC market. At least one and often two GPUs are present in every PC shipped. It can take the form of a discrete chip, a GPU integrated in the chipset or embedded in the CPU. The average has grown from 1.2 GPUs per PC in 2001 to almost 1.55 GPUs per PC.

Britain has had particular problems reconciling itself to the idea of being a 'European' actor and a wholehearted member of the EEC/EU since 1973. Now, potentially, the 'awkward partner', is edging towards the exit door of the EU because a membership referendum is an increasingly likely prospect in the coming years. The aim of this special issue is to consider how we can account for the present state of affairs by adopting an interpretivist perspective on British European policy over the past four decades. The article begins with a comprehensive review of the extant literature on Britain and Europe, and an elaboration of the 'traditions and dilemmas' framework within which the contributors have studied the empirical material in their articles. It then explains the major themes that connect the articles and suggests how future research might build on the agenda proposed in this special issue.

Battle of Kings Preview | PowerUp!
Battle of Kings from Wenkly Studios is a tower defence game originally released for Gear VR last year.
Now in Early Access on Steam its VR origins are instantly apparent. It has a simple user interface and basic but pleasing visual style.
It's clear this game is designed to run well on just about any system.
Battle of Kings initially throws the player into a very straightforward campaign. You are a king with a bit of land and so is your brother.
He wants your bit of land and is sending troops down the road to your castle. To stop him you'll need to build to defences along the side of the road.
It's a basic premise but tower defence game have never really been about telling a story. They're all about the strategy and Wenkly Studios have made an interesting decision in that regard.
Players are restricted in the position they can build your defence towers to predetermined spots. On the one hand this kind of makes for a puzzle as to which towers to place in which position to most effectively eliminate the enemy waves.
However, once you've figured that out it's done and there is next to no motivation for a replay of the campaign missions. A third of the way into the campaign, Battle of Kings introduces us to a new mission type.
The new mode is a kind of Versus tower defence where the map has your castle at one end and the enemy at the other. Each has their own route to the enemy and must both take turns sending troops through the enemy defences.
This mission type is the introduction to Battle of Kings multi-player and it really is what sets this title apart from other games in the genre.
In multiplayer mode, each player manages a small castle containing a barracks, forge and mine. Turns consist of a 45-second preparation phase in which units and upgrades can be purchased from these buildings.
Next is the attack phase that happens if you're ready or not if the timer runs out.
The barracks is used to recruit different types of soldiers to send in your next attack wave. The forge allows you to upgrade those soldiers and then upgrading the mine increases how much gold you receive.
The cost of your soldiers and upgrades, combined with the expense of building towers to defend the approach to your own castle means that managing your economy becomes extremely important. Do you sink all your money this turn into defence?
Send a massive wave of soldiers at the enemy and hope to overwhelm them or meet somewhere in the middle? At the same time, you need to try and discern the strategy of your opponent?
The only tools you have to do this is to observe how much they increase their defences by and then guess at where else they have spent their money.
It's a fun little strategic battle system.
If you are a fan of tower defence game and looking for a unique multiplayer experience in that genre its worth it. Likewise, if you have never played this style of game before I'm sure the campaign mode would make a great intro to the world of tower defence.
Sadly, Battle of Kings would be incredibly well suited to tablet play, however, at this stage, there is no way to scroll the map without a keyboard.
The title is till in Early Access, so hopefully this changes soon.

The FBI Files: Long-Time Bonanno Crime Family Member Sentenced to 96 Months' Imprisonment For Arson
by Simon Barrett in crime, FBI, US News
The FBI has the best pressers!
Vincent Asaro, Bonanno Soldier Who Committed Murder and Lufthansa Robbery, Sentenced For Ordering Innocent Motorist's Car Torched Over Road Rage Incident
Earlier today, in federal court in Brooklyn, long-tie Bonanno crime family member Vincent Asaro was sentenced by United States District Judge Allyne R. Ross to 96 months' imprisonment for violating the Travel Act by using a telephone to order that a vehicle be burned. Asaro previously pled guilty to this crime on June 27, 2017. In sentencing Asaro, Judge Ross found that Asaro was a long-time member of the Bonanno organized crime family who had participated in, among other crimes, the 1969 murder of Paul Katz, the 1978 robbery of the Lufthansa Airlines Terminal at John F. Kennedy Airport, and that as of 2013, Asaro was actively involved in loansharking. Asaro was also ordered to pay $21,276 in restitution for the damages to the car burned in the arson.
Bridget M. Rohde, Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and William F. Sweeney, Jr., Assistant Director-in-Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office (FBI), and James P. O'Neill, Commissioner, New York City Police Department, announced the sentence.
"Today's sentence holds Asaro accountable not only for using his power as a member of organized crime to address a perceived slight by another motorist, but for a lifetime of violent criminal activity," stated Acting United States Attorney Rohde. "This Office, together with our partners at the FBI, will continue to investigate and prosecute members and associates of organized crime and eliminate the danger they pose to members of our community."
"An unfortunate chance encounter led an unsuspecting motorist to become embroiled in a high-speed chase at the hands of an enraged Asaro," stated FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Sweeney. "Unsatisfied with the outcome of his pursuit, Asaro dug his heels in. He contacted an associate with access to a local law enforcement database, identified the license plate information of the car, and put in motion a plan to set fire to the vehicle in front of the victim's residence. Once the arson had occurred, at the hands of those directed to do so, Asaro insisted on checking in person to ensure his orders had been followed. The anger that propelled Asaro to action is reminiscent of so many scripted Hollywood dramas, but unlike the fame and fortune of the big screen, Asaro's story ends on a different note. Today's sentence proves that living life in the fast lane is sure to be short lived."
As described in court filings and statements made during court appearances, Asaro was inducted into the Bonanno family more than 40 years ago and has previously held the position of captain and member of the family's ruling panel. In early April 2012, Asaro was traveling in a car in Howard Beach when he became enraged at another motorist who had switched lanes in front of Asaro at a traffic light. Asaro chased the other car at a high rate of speed. The victim drove into Ozone Park while trying to call the police and describe where he was. When the victim arrived in an area he knew to contain a red light camera, he intentionally circled the block trying to set off the cameras in an attempt to alert the police to his location.
Shortly thereafter, Asaro contacted an associate of the Gambino organized crime family of La Cosa Nostra who Asaro knew to have access to local law enforcement databases. The next day, a local law enforcement database accessed the license plate information for the plate of the car the victim was driving, which revealed the victim's address. Asaro then directed an associate of the Bonanno organized crime family ("Associate-1") to set fire to the victim's car. Associate-1 then recruited Matthew Rullan and John J. Gotti, Asaro's co-defendants, to help him carry out the arson.
Associate-1, Gotti and Rullan drove in Gotti's Jaguar sedan to a service station in the pre-dawn hours of April 4, 2012 where they filled a container with gasoline and proceeded to the residence of the victim. Associate-1 doused the vehicle with gasoline, and Rullan ignited it. An NYPD police officer in an unmarked car observed the crime in progress and pursued the Jaguar on a high-speed chase through the streets of Queens until he terminated the pursuit for safety reasons due to Gotti's reckless driving. The following day, Associate-1 told Asaro about the arson, and Asaro drove to the auto body shop where the burned car had been towed to confirm that his order had been carried out.
In imposing the sentence, Judge Ross concluded that Asaro's history and characteristics, specifically his longtime association with organized crime and his history of participating in crimes of violence, including the 1969 murder of Paul Katz and the 1978 armed robbery of over $6 million dollars in United States currency and jewelry from the Lufthansa Airlines Terminal, weighed in favor of a significant custodial sentence. Additionally, Judge Ross found that the nature and circumstances of the charged crime indicated that the defendant remains a danger to the community.
The government's case is being handled by the Office's Organized Crime & Gangs Section. Assistant United States Attorneys Nicole M. Argentieri, Lindsay K. Gerdes, and Keith D. Edelman are in charge of the prosecution.
The Defendant:
