The in vivo efficacy of daptomycin, a new cell wall-active anti-gram-positive-bacterial agent, was compared to those of cloxacillin and vancomycin in a rat model of Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis. Both methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains were used. When therapy was initiated early (8 h) after infection, at the time when valvular bacterial counts were relatively low (approximately 10(6) CFU/g of vegetation), 3 days of therapy was found to be effective against the MSSA strains whatever the antibiotic regimen. In contrast, when the onset of therapy was delayed up to 15 h after infection, so that higher bacterial counts could develop on the valves (approximately 10(9) CFU/g of vegetation), a longer period of treatment (6 days) was required to cure infection. Under these conditions after 3 days of therapy, daptomycin was more effective than cloxacillin and vancomycin against the MSSA strains. Similarly, daptomycin showed a greater activity than vancomycin against the MRSA strain after 3 days of treatment, but after 6 days both antibiotics were equally effective. Decreasing doses of daptomycin showed decreasing activity: 10 mg/kg of body weight every 12 h (q12h) was better than 5 mg/kg q12h, whereas 5 mg/kg q24h (providing drug levels in blood detectable only during the first 12 h) failed to cure infection. In vitro, daptomycin was highly bactericidal at high concentrations (25 and 60 micrograms/ml, corresponding to peak levels in serum after doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg, respectively) and bacteriostatic at lower concentrations (0.5 to 2.5 micrograms/ml, corresponding to trough levels in serum). In conclusion, against low-bacterial-count S. aureus endocarditis, daptomycin showed an efficacy similar to those of vancomycin and cloxacillin. Against high-bacterial-count S. aureus endocarditis, daptomycin showed a higher bactericidal activity than cloxacillin (against the MSSA strains) and vancomycin (against both the MSSA and MRSA strains).

Heliatek GmbH (Dresden, Germany) has reached a new world record for organic photovoltaic (OPV) conversion efficiency at 12.0% on a 1.1 square centimeter cell.
This efficiency was measured by SGS SA (Geneva, Switzerland). The record-setting cell is based on a multi-junction OPV cell design, where two different absorber materials convert light of different wavelengths.
"We are pleased to continue to lead the OPV industry with this landmark achievement," states Heliatek CEO Thibaud Le Séguillon. "Our continuous progress comforts us in our ability to reach 15% efficiency by 2015 and gradually transfer our record efficiencies into Heliatek's roll-to-roll production line."
"We manufacture solar films and not solar panels. Our customers in the building and construction material industry, in automotive and in light structures, such as shading and street furniture, are integrating these solar films as energy harvesting components to increase the functionality of their products."
Heliatek states that SGS measurements also validated the low light and high temperature performance of OPV as compared to conventional solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies, which the company says leads to a much higher efficiency in real-life conditions.
Heliatek uses a vacuum deposition manufacturing process, which has been used for OLED displays. The company states that vacuum deposition allows for homogeneous layers as thin as 5 nanometers.
One of the two absorber materials used in the record-setting cell was developed and synthesized by Ulm University's (Ulm, Germany) Institute of Organic Chemistry II and Advanced Materials, headed by Heliatek co-Founder Peter Bäuerle.
The previous world record of 10.7% was also set by Heliatek nine months prior.
Heliatek GmbH is the leading European company in the field of organic photovoltaics. It was founded in 2006 as a common spin-off of Technische Universität Dresden and the University of Ulm (both Germany), bringing together world-leading expertise in the fields of organic optoelectronic devices (Dresden) and organic oligomer synthesis (Ulm). Main goals of Heliatek are the development of organic solar cells based on oligomers, the set-up of the required production tools, and the introduction of organic solar cells into the market.


RICHMOND, VA (November 11, 2016) — The demand for remote maintenance of machines and industrial applications is growing exponentially. Weidmuller's award winning Industrial Security Routers have provided a secure solution for these applications with virtual private network (VPN) access, network address translation (NAT), and stateful firewall functionality. Weidmuller is using these Security Routers as the basis of their new cloud-based remote maintenance VPN service, u-link. u-link provides quick a secure access to plants and machines all over the world from the cloud making remote maintenance easier and more efficient. This translates to a massive reduction of cost related to downtime.
Weidmuller's u-link cloud-based solution incorporates an intuitive web-based interface, (the u-link Portal) to allow for easy configuration for the customer's specific application. The u-link cloud is used as a meeting point, securely connecting the user's PC running the u-link VPN software, with the u-link enabled Security Router. Once the Security Routers are added to the u-link Portal, users can access network devices, i.e. switches, programmable logic controllers (PLC's), and other Ethernet capable automation devices for trouble-shooting, maintenance, or PLC program changes.
One of best features of the u-link cloud-based service is the cost. Up to 50 Security Routers can be added to the u-link Portal for free with The Entry version. Customers already using the Weidmuller Security Routers need only to install the latest version of the Security Router firmware for the u-link functionality. License upgrades are also available for 150, 300, 500, and unlimited number of Security Routers.
u-link can be customized to suit any user's needs, no matter how simple or complex the application may be. Managing users, groups and access rights, adding Security Routers and other user-defined devices can be easily done without in-depth IT expertise. The combination of the u-link Cloud-based Service and Weidmuller's hardened Industrial Security Router provides customers secure, easy, and efficient access to machines and plants world-wide.

When should we see a counselor about our marriage?
Too often, the decision to see a counselor about the struggles of marriage comes too late. The passion has cooled, walls have been built up, wounds have become infected, bitterness has set in, and the couple has slowly drifted apart. Attempts to save a marriage at the last moment are not doomed to failure, but going to counseling as a last ditch effort is often more about defending your own position than trying to work towards healing and growth.
We live in a culture in which counseling is common, but we can still get sucked into the idea that counseling is for 'those people' and 'those marriages'. Only really messed up marriage need the help of a counselor, and we're not there - at least not yet. But here's the reality - every marriage has struggles. Every marriage has problems. Every marriage needs help. And the best marriages I've seen are the ones in which the couples are the most intentional about growing the marriage together.
One type of counseling I love is early marriage counseling. This ranges from the occasional marital 'tune up' to walking through significant challenges in their life together. Many young couples find the possibility of marriage counseling embarrassing (we've only been at this 3 years and we're already falling apart!). There's also a reluctance to seek out help from others (we can figure this out on our own, only messed up marriages seek profession help, we'll turn out fine in the end, it's just a season, etc.). But I've seen firsthand in other couples (and experienced first hand in my own marriage) - seeking out help is a good thing - it makes a difference.
When should you see a counselor about your marriage? I don't know the answer for you, but I know that most couples tend to wait much too long to seek out good help. My encouragement to young couples (and older ones!) is to err on the side of caution - seeking help before it's too late. I'd much rather see my doctor when I'm fighting a common cold than when I'm in bed dying of pneumonia. In the same vein, I'd much rather see a counselor about marriage when problems are beginning to surface than when we're on the brink of divorce.
For the sake of your marriage and your family - seek out good help. It's worth it.
My wife and I have a terrible track record with taking care of plants. We've tried a number of times to have plants in our home and on our back porch, but it feels like déjà vu every time.
The plant eventually gets thrown into the wasteland of our backyard.
Then we start over with a new plant, hoping for a different result. Nothing seems to change, though.
When it comes to marriage, I see the same pattern. Most couples I see for counseling are there because their relationship is not what they hope for it to be. It doesn't look healthy. It feels dry and lifeless. Instead of growing and thriving, it only seems to be withering.
In every marriage, there is a need to cultivate life. Strong marriages are grown over a long haul - they don't magically appear overnight. It takes time, thought, focused energy, and lots of help. Just as our plants keep dying for lack of water and care, marriages continue to slowly die for the same reasons.
Marriage counseling is about helping couples cultivate new life in their marriages. Spending time together, sharing life, speaking graciously, admitting fault, forgiving quickly, small acts of kindness, sacrificial service, moving towards deeper intimacy - all these are like drops of water to a thirsty plant.
Every marriage takes work. Every marriage needs help.
When I think about my own marriage, there have been ups and downs, seasons of draught and seasons of abundant rain. We've asked for a lot of help along the way, and we're learning to slow down when we see the leaves turning yellow and the soil start to look dry. We're learning what it looks like for us to cultivate life together, but more than anything, we're growing to see Jesus as the 'living water' our marriage desperately needs (John 4).
Don't be afraid to take an honest look at your marriage, and don't be afraid to ask for help. Cultivate life together - your marriage is worth it.
Every action creates some type of effect. A kind word, an act of service, a choice to forgive - each movement is like dropping a small pebble into a still pond, causing small ripples of change to slowly drift out in all directions. Life spreads, hope touches new places, and people experience a small taste of grace. But this can also work in a different way - a nasty stare, a sharp comment, a harbored bitterness - these acts, however small, create their own ripple effect as well. LIfe is drained, hope fades, and people experience yet another taste of what is deeply wrong with our world.
When we talk about change - in ourselves, our families, our relationships - we often think that it's the big things that really matter. We assume good and lasting change happens in huge paradigm shifts, where we pledge to walk in a new way, to be radically different. While there's nothing necessarily wrong with this, we tend to overlook the place where the action really is - the ordinary. Small words and subtle acts are loaded with significance. Every day we carelessly toss a vast array of pebbles into the pond, not realizing that every one of those has great power - for good or bad, to bring life or take it away. But they do matter, and it does add up.
When I sit with couples in marriage counseling, few see the power these small acts have in their life. But these seemingly insignificant moments have begun to tear at the marriage, slowly unraveling it from the inside. But what is at stake is even more than just this relationship - their marriage is yet another stone, thrown into the lake, creating waves for others. Children, family, friends, community, work - the waves are felt. And the waves continue on and on and on, not only here and now, but for generations to come.
I recently finished reading The Eyes of the Heart by Fredrick Beuchner, and he shares about his parent's troubled marriage, his father's suicide when Fredrick was just a boy, and what it was like to live in the wake of such heartbreaking realities. Here I am, over 50 years later, and the small choices of his parents are touching me in some way. The ripples created by the small pebbles thrown into the waters have reached me across an incredible distance to make a small difference in my life.
The ordinary matters, and the small is never insignificant. Grace is founds in the most unlikely of places - a kind hello, a simple 'how are you?', a note of thanks, a harsh word held back, forgiveness extended. In these small acts we see Jesus in a shadowy way, experiencing a taste of new life that is blooming in the strangest of places. As you walk through your day, remember, there are no insignificant moments - the ordinary matters. Create ripples of grace.
Today is Good Friday – a day where the Christian church around the world slows down to reflect upon the death of Jesus so many years ago. Every year it forces me to remember and reconsider what the gospel is all about. And every year it stirs up different thoughts, emotions, and questions for me.
One particular question I find myself asking in this season is - why does life have to be so hard? When I meet to people in the counseling office, get together with to people at church, spend time with my own family, and listen what is going on in my own heart – I see that suffering is an inescapable reality for every one of us.
But how do we reconcile God's goodness with the pervasive difficulty of life? Theologians, philosophers, and countless others have given numerous answers, but we still find ourselves asking the same old question, year after year.
As I prepare for our church service tonight, I realize that Good Friday doesn't give an exhaustive answer, but it certainly gives us something very important to think about. It reminds us that Jesus enters our darkness and suffers on our behalf.
Good Friday says to us – look at the cross, look at the wounds, look at the crown of thorns – behold your God. Jesus enters our sufferings and takes on the weight of our sin. We are known and we are loved, and the cost for our rescue is not cheap.
This doesn't answer all of our questions on why life has to be so hard, but it reminds us that our God is no stranger to suffering. We can be confident that the reason behind our suffering is not indifference or cruelty on God's part. We can trust whole heartedly that a love this big is up to something very good in all this.
Sad. Lost. Weary. Hopeless. What happens when these words begin to describe us? What happens when there is a gaping disconnect between what we say is true about life and what we really feel on the inside?
I feel this tension every day. Since high school, I've experienced what the medical field labels 'depression.' Inside me lives a darkness that I can never seem to fully escape. It haunts me, always waiting to pull me in. It speaks to me, spinning half-truths that confuse and distort how I see reality. There are times where it eases up, and times where it feels gone for good. But sure enough, it always seems to find its way back to me.
But I'm a counselor and a pastor - how can I be in the work of helping people when I myself am in need of such desperate help? Am I missing something? Did I take a wrong turn somewhere along the way that got me far off track?
While I regularly wrestle with those questions, my everyday interactions with hurting people remind me that I'm not alone. We all face darkness in our lives in some way. No one is exempt. No one is free of struggle.
There is a deadly misconception that Christians (especially pastors & counselors) should have it all together. No darkness. No doubts. No struggle. Only happiness, clarity, and contentment - all day, every day. We should always have out stuff together, and problems in life are only a sign that we've messed up something along the way.
When I trek through the scriptures, I see a very different story. The Bible is a very raw book. It doesn't present a neat and tidy picture of life. It's honest, real, and wonderfully hopeful to people like me who struggle deeply. Psalm 42 is one passage that speaks deeply to my soul.
My heart is breaking as I remember how it used to be: I walked among the crowds of worshipers, leading a great procession to the house of God, singing for joy and giving thanks amid the sound of a great celebration!
as your waves and surging tides sweep over me. But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life.
"O God my rock," I cry,"Why have you forgotten me?
But there is also light. There is also hope. There is also trust. There is also worship.
Darkness and light, weeping and worship, heartache and hope – somehow, someway, they're all here together.
I wish the darkness would go away in my life. I fight against it. I pray against it. But it's still there. But I'm thankful to say that there is something else there as well - light. God is breaking through the darkness, and even using the brokenness to bring healing. The cross of Jesus reminds me that God has gone to extraoridinary lengths to show that he can be trusted and to show that he is always for me – no matter what I feel and no matter how bleak life appears. The resurrection of Jesus reminds me that light will have the final word over darkness. One day, the darkness will be gone forever. This continues to be my only hope.

South Korea to offer more education support for low-income groups
By Bak Se-hwan
Published : Jul 31, 2017 - 17:35 Updated : Jul 31, 2017 - 17:35
South Korea's Ministry of Education will expand support for the education of children from low-income households to help bridge the gap between poor and wealthy, a government panel that deals with basic livelihood security policies said Monday.
According to the panel, the ministry is scheduled to increase its spending on elementary, middle and high school students from low-income households to help them purchase school supplies and materials beginning next year.
The Ministry of Education building in Sejong City, South Korea
Under the support program, the ministry will provide 66,000 won ($60) a year for elementary school students of low-income households as subsidies for purchasing school textbooks, and 50,000 won for school supplies.
The figure was 41,200 won this year for textbooks subsidies, while no subsidies were provided for elementary students to buy school supplies.
For middle and high school students, they will receive 162,000 won a year, a 70 percent increase from this year's 95,300 won.
The ministry plans to roll out the new support package by the ministry next year, expecting to benefit about 380,000 students whose households make less than 2.26 million won a month.
At the high school level, the ministry will fully cover school and admissions fees for students from national and public schools as well as the cost of school supplies, the panel said. They now receive 1.52 million won a year from the government upon entering high school.
The ministry added that it would work closely with local governments to offer more educational opportunities for students from low-income households and cover their expenses, from field trips and extracurricular activities to school uniforms.
Monday's announcement came after Education Minister Kim Sang-kon vowed to bring about equal opportunities for all students in education.
Here, households with monthly salaries of 7 million won or more spent 443,000 won a month on private education last year, according to the ministry's data. The figure is nine times as much as families bringing in 1 million won or less.
More support for education is also part of the Moon administration's efforts to focus on better social safety measures which were recently announced through its five-year policy road map. President Moon Jae-in promised to provide more child care support, focus on the welfare of the people and renovate the country's disaster response system, including the reducing of energy dependence on nuclear power.

First Decade Interview with Paul Caton
Bucknell
Digital sound files of First Decade interview with Paul Caton, part one: 00:31:09, part two: 00:06:49.
Wood carver and sculptor Paul Caton began creating hand-carved pieces when he was 20, and continues to do so today from his country-side home in North Hereford. In this 2015 First Decade interview, Caton talks about his affinity with trees and nature, teaching himself to carve, and being accepted into the Crafts Council Index in 1976. Caton's woodcarving began when he joined the Swiss Forest Commission, and started making in his spare time. In this interview, he describes the making process in detail and his enjoyment in being a 'full-time bowl maker', and creating pieces that have a tactile, visual and sculptural quality. He talks about being in the presence of makers such as Hans Coper and Lucie Rie, who were a generation ahead of him, but influenced him greatly.

Q: Questions related to efficient DML in procedure/functions I have 2 questions regarding performance of PL/SQL script when executing DML. Ofcourse the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE is the slowest one thats why we have forall, bulk insert etc. My Questions are

*

*I have to manipulate data in 3 different tables. Table1 (insert data), Table2(update data) and Table3 delete data. All of these would be done based on the values fetched using a cursor. the question is what would be more efficient here?

*

*Putting each of these statements in individual Forall block? i.e.

fetch cursor
loop
   forall loop for table 1
   forall loop for table 2
   forall loop for table 3
end loop

OR

*

*a global loop and execute these statments in that loop i.e.

fetch cursor loop
    for i IN array.count
    loop
       3 statements for DML
    end loop end loop

Now my second question

*

*what is the efficient way to delete records in loop? I fetched the values of the records to be deleted through the cursor. now what would be the efficient way to delete them?

P.S:
Execuse my formatting

A: The most efficient approach would be to write three SQL statements, assuming the data fetched from the cursor is stable over the period of time that the procedure is running
INSERT INTO table1( list_of_columns )
  <<your SELECT statement>>

UPDATE table2
   SET (<<list of columns>>) = (<<your SELECT statement joined to table2>>)
 WHERE EXISTS( <<your SELECT statement joined to table2>> );

DELETE FROM table3
 WHERE EXISTS( <<your SELECT statement joined to table3>> );

If the SELECT statement will potentially return different results in each of the three DML statements, then it makes sense to accept the performance hit of using a cursor, bulk collecting the data into PL/SQL collections, and looping over the collections in order to ensure consistent results.  If that's what you're doing, it will be more efficient to have three FORALL statements since that involves fewer context shifts between the SQL and PL/SQL engines.

What is the efficient way to delete records in loop? I fetched the values of the records to be deleted through the cursor. now what would be the efficient way to delete them?

I'm not sure I understand the question.  Wouldn't you just do a FORALL loop just as you would for an INSERT or an UPDATE
FORALL i IN l_array.first .. l_array.last
  DELETE FROM some_table
   WHERE some_key = l_array(i);

Or are you asking a different question?

Eu consegui fazer com que ele insira no model a linha com o saveAll() porém ele não pega o id de nenhum dos dois.
Eu teria que criar um array de alguma maneira para receber essas informações?
Por que eu passei um array assim no saveAll().
array(Estatisticas.produto_id = $produto['id'], Estatisticas.categoria_id = $produto['Categoria']['id]);

A: Olá!
Tente algo do tipo assim, no controller de produtos, insira o atributo:
public $uses = array(
    'Estatisticas',
    ...
);

Na sua action de detalhe de produtos, faça o seguinte:
// array com os dados
$salvarEstatisticas = array(
    'produto_id' => $produto['id'],
    'categoria_id' => $produto['Categoria']['id']
);

// Informa que vai ser um novo registro
$this->Estatisticas->create();

// Insere os registros na tabela
$this->Estatisticas->save($salvarEstatisticas);

O que você pode tentar também, pra verificar os valores, é um debug antes do create(), assim:
debug($salvarEstatisticas);

você vê se o resultado é o esperado.

In response to my article on the mutated mountain lion, which became a story at ENENEWS, this commentor pointed out another, or a "co-operative" theory.
The original program was established to increase snow accumulation in the south and middle forks of the Payette River watershed. In 2008, Idaho Power expanded its cloud seeding efforts by enhancing an existing program operated by a coalition of counties and other stakeholders in the upper Snake River system above Milner Dam.
For the 2014–2015 winter season, the Central Mountains project (includes Payette, Boise, and Wood Basins) includes 23 remote-controlled, ground-based generators and two airplanes contracted for operations. e program in the Upper Snake River Basin includes 20 remote-controlled, ground-based generators operated by Idaho Power and 25 manual, ground-based generators operated by the coalition. Idaho Power provides meteorological data and weather forecasting to guide the coalition's operations.
The company has continuously operated a cloud seeding program since 2003.
Idaho Power seeds clouds by introducing additional ice nuclei (silver iodide) into winter storms. e additional ice nuclei increase precipitation from passing winter storm systems. If a storm has water vapor and appropriate temperatures, the conditions are optimal for cloud seeding to increase precipitation.
Idaho Power uses two methods to seed clouds: 1) ground generators at high elevations, or 2) airplanes that release special ares into storm clouds. Either method successfully releases silver iodide into passing storms. Minute water particles within the clouds freeze on contact with the silver iodide particles and eventually grow and fall to the ground as snow.
Silver iodide has been used as a seeding agent in numerous western states for decades without any known harmful effects. Silver iodide is insoluble in water which is a characteristic that keeps it from having harmful effects.
This program and monies will be controlled by the National Science Foundation under the newly created agency of Weather Mitigation Research Program, contained under and within the NSF's Geosciences Directorate.
The purpose of S. 601 is to develop a national cooperative Federal and State program of weather mitigation research and development."
All of this under the direction of John D Rockefeller IV. What could go wrong with a bill sponsored by and for the Rockefeller's.
After reading the bill it glorifies the needs of such an enterprise but does not address any negative impacts. If you need to see the impacts, just look up at the chemical trails left in the sky on any given day.

If you're a rental property owner or have been entrusted with the management of a rental property, a big part of your job is keeping good tenants to fill the property. But while finding a good, quality tenant to live in a space might sound like an easy job, most property owners and managers find that this is one of the hardest parts of their job. When you rent out a property to someone who ends up being a bad tenant, you can have just created hundreds or thousands of problems for yourself over the span of their occupancy. So to make everyone's lives easier, here are three tips for finding quality tenants for your rental property.
Before you even start interviewing potential tenants, you can help you get more applications from the type of people you're hoping to rent to by being strategic about the ads you place for your vacancy. According to A. Kappauf, a contributor to the American Apartment Owners Association, you can put things in your ads that will scare away or deter people who might have been bad tenants. For example, share that you'll do conducting credit and background checks before making any decisions. Additionally, post that you only want tenants who are clean and quiet and will not tolerate those who break any rules stated in your lease agreement. If potential tenants can't comply by these rules and regulations, they likely won't even bother applying.
When it comes time to interview potential tenants, it's important that you keep your standards high if you're wanting to find quality renters. While you might be worried about just filling the vacancy and getting that rent money coming in, you'll wish you'd found a better renter if you start having problems with your tenants after just a short period of time. With regards to the standards you should keep, Brandon Turner, a contributor to Bigger Pockets, advises that you require things like making a certain amount of money over their monthly rent payment, no previous evictions or problems with the law, a solid credit score, and a good history with their past landlords.
To avoid having to trust your gut and choose a tenant that you have no real idea about, Jimmy Moncrief, a contributor to Landlordology.com, suggests that you seek out referrals from people that you already know and trust. You could even give some type of incentive for a quality referrals. By doing this, you should feel more confident in picking a good tenant that you can trust and feel comfortable with.
If you're a landlord who's been having a hard time getting quality tenants, consider using the tips mentioned above to help make this process easier for you.

A man charged over a stockpile of weapons and explosives discovered at a so-called Brisbane "bomb house" has been jailed for three years after a court was told he just wanted to make homemade fireworks.
Daniel Fing fronted the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday, where he pleaded guilty to 11 charges.
They included manufacturing explosives without authority and weapons offences for possessing items such as a crossbow, flick knife and five tainted firearms.
The court heard he had a prior criminal history in NSW, where he was extradited from in March, and had possession of the explosive materials because he wanted to make fireworks.
Defence lawyer Michael Bosscher said his client had an "ongoing fascination" with explosives and firearms and also battled drug addiction.
Magistrate Terry Gardiner sentenced the 32-year-old to three years jail and ordered he be eligible for parole in March 2017.
He acknowledged Fing had been diagnosed with a mental illness requiring mood stabilisers but said his sentence needed to show the community people who committed such crimes would be dealt with "severely".
Fing was charged after police uncovered the cache in a Pullenvale home in August 2014, which media reports at the time termed the "bomb house".
He was also sentenced for offences related to a car accident in June 2014, including disqualifying him from holding a licence for two years.

Broken game. Please fix.
I'd love to play after a nice day of work, kick back, and play a game where everyone wasn't BA and Air.
Sadly, the new meta is "I play a team game solo" and there is literally no strategy in the games at all.
Suggestion: Eliminate BA Weapons and Air until player population increases again. I know Bolter and Elf and a couple others want to make the game absolutely intolerable and score lots of noob kills, but that is the problem. Hardly anyone online, and from the history graph, looks like the game is hemorrhaging players, and I doubt it is just the summer doldrums.
Cue the neckbeards with their defend the noob killer comments.
Bolter and Elf don't want to do that. They are at least players who switch to the less powerful team (at least when asked). The problem lies with players who always stack and don't care about helping the less experienced or less powerful team.
You are truly delusional Spooky.
Elf and Bolter were VTOL-ing C2 on Cliff. Ask them, they are awful people, and they want MWLL to be a graveyard of players.
Uninstalling. I have 1k things better to do with my time.
It's not true. EVERYONE is playing BA/Air. NO ONE is willing to cap. Unless they are VTROLLING.
There is only one fix. Nerf hammer the piss out of air and BA weapons. Also, BA are way, way too small. The size of them is just not accurate to battletech.
RDL_Vitos
Play Like a Man, in Mech)
RDL_Vitos Indeed...
Just watch those vids that are on Duelist's thread. That's how the damned game should be.
Sadly, since there are constant VTOL's I have to take tanks to be able to get a shot off. And of course it feels like only 2% of the hits ever register.
To be clear, I also support a nerf to the tanks along with the obliteration of air and BA.
It's called MECHWARRIOR. Not "COMBINED ARMS GAME".
I guess the BA and Air addicts here can't compete in FPS games where there aren't guppies in a barrel to shoot at.
Enigma Just watch those vids that are on Duelist's thread. That's how the damned game should be.
That's from Chaos March. Organized play is vastly different from pub play.
Enigma It's called MECHWARRIOR. Not "COMBINED ARMS GAME".
MechWarrior: Living Legends is a combined arms game.
For the sake of justice - all the same, the main thing is the MECHs. If without them, it will be a simple battlefield)
Game of MehWarrior universe. Which adds flavor using a variety of many assets - which is cool.
fire-hound
@Enigma i feel your pain, I really do.
But while obviously the MW:LL title is somewhat miss leading, it is still how Mechs go about combined arms game.
So far the dev team merely completed (or is about to) what the original devs had in the work pipe line - nothing more.
And while there is still more work to be done, the game is still away from what all the original team had in mind.
I assure you, the balance is also way improved over what we had back then (0.7.1 era) and we are rid of many builds that caused cancer and rage quit among many a player...
I agree with you the game is quite more taxing on the nerves than any other title I ever played. It it is planed to be even more so.
The ASF, that where a niche back then, are a class that can be used (and enjoyed) by players now - ASF vs ASF dogfight is out of scope of the game development team, everything else is fair game.
The BA are midst a extensive rework, and are broken somewhat by the time - it is known by most of the active community - but they have hard counters one can use for the time still...
One can't simply get in a public match right now and be "master and commander" any more - the game grew complex, one has to read the wiki guides, explore play styles and work on his own - tactics, strategy and skill included.
This is partially due to having players with year long mileage with this game, and a healthy influx of quite competitive and able layers from other MW titles as of recent.
If you are back, welcome back, if you are new, welcome to the most special battle tech game yet.
This isn't a git gud rant, I genuinely appreciate your concern and invite you to Discord to take part of the community voices and efforts to get the most fun we can.
"This isn't a git gud rant, I genuinely appreciate your concern and invite you to Discord to take part of the community voices and efforts to get the most fun we can."
To be clear, this is a "TEAM" game - Those that only play ASF and BA are playing a solo game. They do not cap normally. They do not tank damage for allies, and they want GLORY that they took the David and Goliath fight and "won". On the other hand, at least with Elf, he's a coward that is afraid of being damaged, and that is a different kind of sad.
This rant is that the game could be in 2000% better shape if a few people found something better to do with their time, and/or took a real challenge, like achieve 10 kills with a Chimera and never get killed themselves.
The problem is that there are players with a "win at all costs" mentality that are driving this game into oblivion.
There have been legit STREAMERS show up with a whole pile of people logging in, and what happens? BA, Air, Long Tom, Thumper.
No epic battles. No actual fights that decide the game, just Saber, Elf, Bolter, and a few others, that make this game utterly pointless. At least Sabre doesn't show up all that often, since he's 100x better than Elf.
This mod, while not perfect, sucks because a few core vets have figured out how to make the game cancer.
If you want it better, don't apologize for them, vocally call for nerfs that actually balance things like the sky Demolishers and the VTOL's that don't register incoming hits properly. Or if you don't care, enjoy empty servers. Take your pick.
Enigma On the other hand, at least with Elf, he's a coward that is afraid of being damaged, and that is a different kind of sad.
Enigma You are truly delusional Spooky.
No need for that kind of discourse.
Enigma , while i have to admit you have few good points up there, what is the point of leaving? Either you should have left in silence or stayed and give a hand to those (us) who fight the status quo.
I am sad people leave, but it makes me even more sad people rant and then don't give a fsck.
What is the point of leaving?
What is the point of staying? So I can sit in tanks so that I can fire upwards at elf? So I can make sure the unit I have has flamers to shoot bolter? So I can watch them snipe noobs and brag about it? So I can wash-rinse-repeat EVERY SINGLE MAP with the EXACT SAME STRATEGY? No thanks, there are a ton of better games out there.
Either you should have left in silence or stayed and give a hand to those (us) who fight the status quo.
You're a Democrat. You aren't fighting the status quo. You aren't doing ANYTHING to make this game better. You are not the #Resistance, you are the #Assistance. You don't lobby Invictus to eliminate air, or at least armor them appropriately. You don't constantly insult the noob killers in-game-chat. Half of you apologize for them, or "ask" them to switch teams, as if that makes something better.
I'm sad that all you all that know what the problem is just sit sheepishly waiting for it to get better. It won't. It makes me incredibly frustrated when there is a game with as much potential as this is ruined by a few players that exploit absolutely unfair mechanics. It's more frustrating that ya'll don't give a frack and call a spade a spade. I know Invictus is good at flying, and likes it, but it's an incredibly broken mechanic, and should be trashed unless someone figures out how to balance appropriately. I'm sorry, VTOL's should be one-hit wonders, as ROTORS are easy to destroy with an AC. Of course in MWLL, they can evade 80% of fire, and soak gobs of damage.
I'd say out of the last month or two of playing, there have been about 3 good games, and notably the coward-class of player (Elf, Bolter, and a couple others) were notoriously absent, and so were air units/BA. The orther 47 games were cookie-cutter noob stomps, which apparently can't be figured out until there is a 200 point deficit on one side.
Go ahead and "fight" the status quo, though, I'm not sure you're really doing that. A good solution would be whip out the nerf hammer on air/BA, but that's about as likely as Elf using that name while playing land units. Usually he has a K/D of something like 5/10 so he won't be honest about his lack of skill.
Dude has a point tho.
Teams tend to be woefully stacked. Plus we know that certain players have perfected their niche craft and know how to exploit it to the detriment of other players' enjoyment, small match viability, and the game as a whole. While skill with an asset should no doubt be rewarded, it must remain possible to counter it without resorting to extreme measures (e.g. Sparrowhawk Guided Missiles)
It's all part of the game, git gud, and yadda yadda, but you know it's true.
There are genuine issues, brought up here, which could have been solved by a streamlined release practice, we never had implemented to a degree it reliably works over several patches...
(open source projects (also zero money affairs) have nightly builds == releases of zero effort, since decades now...)
Some of the bugs are known and reportedly alleviated (no gain on BA damage, various go-to variants - aka personal nerfs..., buffs to less commonly fielded mechs)
Some of the issues might be here to stay due to no known workaround (lag shield, thru target clipping) but others might be solved eventually (VTOL out of fire-cone positioning, perpetual balooning, base rape camping...) but what needs most urgent addressing by the project leadership - is the FAQ ("hey guize nice game why doncha X?", "this X is so OP please fix") to cushion the player salt a bit IMHO
This is a mere 0.10 - we're not even over the "1.0" - but we're getting there - hang on!
DinkerFaderpacker
Sadly the game kicks me off in the first 5-8 minutes almost every time. Is there a fix for this? Possibly due to a slow connection?
DeimosEvotec
Are you on win10?
Gonna need a few more details. Also, have you read the Troubleshooting Guide?
I_dont_play_this_game
Game isnt broken. Lets start with; tanks absolutely do not need a nerf at all. This isnt MW1-4, tanks are not, in any way shape or form intended to be cannon fodder. Aero and BA are pretty well balanced, there are more weapons that can effectively one shot BA then can't. Aero is already squishy enough as is, you can destroy a shiva in a single pass if it makes t he wrong dive. any other plane will die even faster. VTOLs are also fairly easy to destroy in any situation that isnt a straight up 1v1. In short, consider getting good instead of begging devs to remove the things you currently lack the skill to handle. [I'm aware iom wasting my time posting this but felt the need to do it anyway.]
"consider getting good instead of begging devs to remove the things you currently lack the skill to handle. "
LOL. Seriously, your kind of wisdom, talent, and comedy aptitude suggests you should be a writer for either the current Colbert show, or better, the "View". Bwahahahaa.
Ok, DEVS - please make all mechs have the ability to shoot directly up. All the "git guds" will find themselves never in any kind of air unit.
Or ya'll could enjoy servers with fewer than 20 players at the peak. Oh wait, ya got that now.

Welcome to the Patrick Keohane Memorial Project website.
This website is part of the process to commemorate one of Ireland's greatest adventurers. In 2012, a memorial was unveiled in his honour at his ancestral homeland of Courtmacsherry.
This project came about from a local interest group who were of the opinion that the deeds of Patrick Keohane and his legacy of being one Ireland's greatest adventurers of the modern era should be acknowledged and commemorated.
The unveiling of the memorial to one Ireland's greatest explorers was done by current and local adventurer, Dr Clare O'Leary.

Happy Sunday! I'm totally hooked right now to the fauxdori travel journals. Last week I showed you my first attempt with a felt cover and it went way easier than I expected. So it was time for a real leather one.
A few weeks ago I visited my local leather store and the place was awe-some!! Leather everywhere, in all possible colors. They usually sell leather for furnitures and other big projects, so they pointed me to a part of the store where they have leftovers I could choose from. I spent about two hours going through all the beautiful pieces. I love that every piece is unique and that will make each of my fauxdori's unique.
The one I've made this week is from a goreous piece of brown leather, which gives it some kind of vintage feel. I used black elastic band to bind it. The charm on the front is a vintage globe and the charm on the side is a coin to emphasize the vintage feel even more.
For this one I've designed the inserts myself again. I used a digital paper from Sonya DeHart Design that mimics old paper and the font is Traveling Typewriter. I really love how it all turned out!
I have bought more colors of leather, so more travel journals will show up here soon!
Thank you for stopping by today and enjoy your Sunday!

Q: Testing randomly generated cases I create a board with items and these items are created randomly for a game which is some kind of a match-3 game. There are some cases that I want to test. Can you suggest any methodology to test cases that are produced randomly?
Best

A: Using TestNG, you can use 'Parametrized' tests, and seed them via any data provider:
http://www.mkyong.com/unittest/testng-tutorial-6-parameterized-test/, e.g. a simple csv file.
You might want to start with an extensive list of possible inputs, and afterwards find a set of inputs that gives you the highest coverage of your class under test.
Test coverage tools can check if each possible execution path of your code was reached during the test with the given inputs.
Maybe that's not enough, but to reverse engineer the possible inputs that gives a certain output is more of a task for artificial intelligence engines.

A: For test Scenarios containing random(e.g. Numbers), you need a RandomGenerator, where you can set the Seed. If the Seed is the same, the generated Numbers will always be the same, in the same order. For the test you set the Seed to a fixed value, for the real application you will use a variable value like System.getMilliSeconds(). So you can check the correctness of your test result for one Seed, after that you can repeat your tests as often as you want, if the results changes, but your Seed not you found an Error-Case.

Star Colt Caravaggio To Be Set For The Everest
By Brad Gray
Coolmore's star colt Caravaggio is bound for The Everest after a brilliant display of speed saw him take out the Group One Commonwealth Cup overnight at Royal Ascot says Aidan O'Brien.
"The lads have it in their head about The Everest in Australia in the autumn (our spring) so that's why we didn't want to be hard on him now and he is only a three-year-old. It's a long way to get through a year," O'Brien told Racing UK.
That was after O'Brien had suggested that there was still plenty left in the tank for the son of Scat Daddy, the same sire as fellow The Everest hopeful Lady Aurelia.
"He was asleep today and wasn't woken up. He is a very natural horse and we are delighted," O'Brien added.
"He is brave and we always knew he was brave."
Book your tickets to Australia - Aidan O'Brien is thinking of aiming Caravaggio at the $10m The Everest Sprint. 6-4 for the July Cup.
— Racing UK (@Racing_UK) June 23, 2017
O'Brien has always maintained that Caravaggio, now unbeaten in six outings, is the fastest horse to ever pass through the Ballydoyle doors having produced some sizzling pieces of work.
When queried about whether Caravaggio still held this mantle after the race O'Brien responded "no doubt".
Newmarket's Group One July Cup is likely to be Caravaggio's next start before having a break to focus on The Everest at Royal Randwick in October.
Sent around an odds-on favourite, Ryan Moore had to ask the now two-time Group One winner to find and he pulled out plenty to reel in talented Godolphin-trained duo Harry Angel and Blue Point.
"I had to wake him up to do it. It's the first time he has been asked to do it and he responded very well. I think he'll come on again from that," Moore told Racing UK.
"He is very good and it's the first time he has been asked a serious question."
