The ill-fated trip aboard the Titanic, which sank in the North Atlantic Ocean 100 years ago today, included a well-to-do Mexican man who had high-level political connections, a rich businessman from Cuba and at least eight passengers from Spain. Some were willing to shell out big bucks to be part of the historic journey, others were onboard because they were servants for the very wealthy. Some survived and even found love amid the wreckage. Others were not so lucky. What strings their lives together is that each of them were passengers of the most famous cruise line in history.
The only Mexican on the Titanic voyage was 39-year-old lawyer, Don. Manuel Ramirez Uruchurtu. Although Uruchurtu was lucky enough to be in first class on the ship, he did not make it out alive. Uruchurtu was part of a well-to-do Mexican family, which allowed him the luxury of studying law in México City where he met and married fellow student Gertrudis Caraza y Landero, a Mexican lady of high social standing. Settling down in México City to establish his law practice, the couple had 7 children. During the time of the Mexican revolution in 1910, Uruchurtu had already established himself in the national political scene of the dictatorship of President Porfirio Díaz which, along with his wealth, made him an automatic target for the revolutionaries. When the former dictator and other former government officials were exiled to France a year following the revolution, Uruchurtu decided to visit his friend General Ramón Corral, who was vice president of Mexico before his exile.
After visiting with his political friends, Uruchurtu decided to return home to his family. Guillermo Obregón, the son-in-law of Corral, persuaded Uruchurtu to take his ticket on the Titanic's maiden voyage to return to México. Boarding the ship at Cherbourg in the Normandy region of France on April 10th, Uruchurtu communicated with his family for the last time, sending his brother a telegraph that read "embarcome" (going on board).
In the fatal night that followed, Uruchurtu , a first class passenger, gave up his seat in a lifeboat to an English lady from the second class who was pleading to be let into the boat because her family was waiting for her.In what he knew would be his last moments, Uruchurtu gave up his seat but not before asking the woman to visit his wife in Veracruz, Mexico.
Two passengers from Uruguay were relatives Francisco M. Carrau and José Pedro Carrau, whose relationship, as to if they were uncle and nephew or cousins, is unknown. Francisco was 28 at the time of his death and an active member of the board of directors of one of Carrau & Co., a food distribution company that is one of Uruguay's largest businesses. Francisco, along with his 17-year-old relative and traveling companion Jose, boarded the Titanic in Southampton England on April 10, 1912. Both men died in the crash although their bodies were never recovered. Other than family legends, little is known about the men and the happenings on their ill-fated voyage.
Ramon Artagaveytia came from a family whose life was the sea. Born in July 1840 in Montevideo, Uruguay, the Titanic was not Artagaveytia's first experience aboard a sinking ship. In 1871, Artagaveytia survived the fire and sinking of the ship America near the shore of Punta Espinillo, Uruguay. Of the 164 passengers, only 65 survived. The experience left Artagaveytia emotionally scarred. However, that did not stop him from traveling. After settling down in Argentina, Artagaveytia traveled to Europe to visit his nephew who was the head of the Uruguayan Consulate in Berlin. But before returning home, Artagaveytia decide to visit the U.S.
Two months before setting sail on the Titanic, Artagaveytia wrote in a letter to his cousin, "At last I will be able to travel and, above all, I will be able to sleep calmly. The sinking of the America was terrible!… Nightmares keep tormenting me. Even in the most quiet trips, I wake up in the middle of the night with terrible nightmares and always hearing the same fateful word: Fire! Fire! Fire!…I have even gotten to the point where I find myself standing in the deck with my lifebelt on…'" The second time, he was not as lucky.
The night of the sinking Titanic, both Artagaveytia and his fellow Uruguayan passengers, Francisco and Jose Pedro Carrau, died. A week later, Artagaveytia's body was recovered by the MacKay-Bennett. After being transferred to New York, his body was finally laid to rest in Cemeterio Central, in Montevideo on June 18, 1912.
Sisters Asuncion Duran y More, 27, and Florentina Duran y More, 30, boarded the ship in Cherbourg in the Normandy region of France. Both sisters were lucky enough to survive the sinking, rescued by the Carpathia in lifeboat 12. After arriving in New York City, the sisters immediately embarked on a voyage to Cuba. While Asuncion's life after the Titanic is vague, the voyage for her sister proved to be life changing in more ways than one.
Florentina found love through the unfortunate event, marrying fellow second class passenger, 26-year-old Chauffeur Julian Padron Manent. The couple lived together in Cuba until Florentina's death in 1959 at the age of 70. Following Manent's death in 1968, the couple were buried side by side in an elaborate mausoleum in Colon Cemetery in Havana.
Speculated traveling companion to Julian Padro Manent and the Duran y More sisters, Emilio Pallas y Castello was a 29-year-old American citizen heading for Cuba. Like his friends, Castello was rescued and lived a long life until his death in 1940.

Spanish domestic Encarnacion Reynaldo, 28, boarded the Titanic to visit her sister in New York City. And luckily for Reynaldo, she eventually reunited with her sister after being rescued by the Carpathia in lifeboat 9.
Of all 8 Spaniards aboard the titanic, only one, Victor Peñasco y Castellana, did not make it out alive. Left by himself on the ship, Castellana died in the sinking. Victor Peñasco y Castellana, along with his wife Maria Josefa Perez de Soto y Vallejo and her maid Doña Fermina Oliva y Ocana , boarded the Titanic the same day as the Duran y More sisters in Cherbourg. While all were first class passengers, only Maria and her maid were rescued as they were able to be go ashore in lifeboat 8.
Brothers Ahmed and William Ali boarded the Titanic in Southampton England. Laborers from Buenos Aires, the two purchased third-class tickets for the voyage. While both lost their lives, only William's body was recovered. He was buried in the Mount Olivet Cemetry in Halifx, Nova Scotia on May 10, 1912.

Another Argentine, Edgar Samuel Andrew, never intended on boarding the Titanic. Originally from Córdoba, Argentina, Andrew came to the U.S. in 1911 to visit his brother. After traveling to Bournemouth, England to study, Andrew was lured back to the states for his brother's wedding and the promise of a job at the Harriet White Fisher company in New York. However, when the coal strike forced Andrew to change his ticket from the Oceanic to the Titanic, his future fate was sealed.
In a letter to his friend Josey Cowan in Argentina, on April 8, 1912 Andrew wrote, "I am boarding the greatest steamship in the world, but I don't really feel proud of it at all, right now I wish the 'Titanic' were lying at the bottom of the ocean." Along with a suitcase that was recovered from the wreckage in 2001, Andrew's letter to Cowan has remained in the family. Somehow foreboding the ship's fate, Andrew died in the sinking.
Servando Jose Florentino Ovies y Rodríguez, was the sole Cuban aboard the Titanic. The 36-year-old worked in the import business in Havana where he lived with his wife, Eva Lopez del Vallardo and son, Ramon Servando. Although a first-class passenger, Rodríguez was not able to make it out of the sinking alive. After his body was buried at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Nova Scotia on May 15, 1912, his wife filed a claim for $75,000 for the loss of his life and $2,800 for the loss of property.
When Barack Obama campaigned to be the nation's 44th president, he used the simple mantra, "Yes We Can" — a translation of civil rights leader Cesar Chavez's chant, "Si se puede."Nearly four years after the presidential election, Obama's paying homage to the man whose words helped him win office, decreeing Saturday, March 31st of 2012, the 85th anniversary of the civil rights icon's birthday, Cesar Chavez Day.
The civil rights leader, who fought for fair wages and humane treatment for California's farm workers in California, championed principles of nonviolence through boycotts, fasts, and marches. In conjunction with Dolores Huerta, Chavez founded the United Farm Workers of America, an organization devoted to defending the rights of farmhands and field workers across the country.
Earlier this week, the White House honored ten local leaders who "exemplify Cesar Chavez's core values," inviting the activists, farmworkers, and professors to speak at a panel called, "Champions of Change," hosted by HuffPost LatinoVoices blogger, Viviana Hurtado.
On March 10th, 1968, Cesar Chavez breaks his 25-day fast by accepting bread from Senator Robert Kennedy, Delano, California.
One of those "champions" was Rogelio Lona, a a farm worker, activist, and community organizer who worked in the fields of California for more than 47 years.
Unbearable working conditions lead Lona to join UFW in 1972. "We were treated as slaves, we did not have any representation in society, we were discriminated against and there were neither benefits nor labor protections," Lona wrote in a blog on the White House website. Lona said that he accepted the award on behalf of all of those working in America's fields, and was adamant that he will never be done fighting. "Rogelio, the struggle will never end, we must always be prepared," Lona recalls Chavez telling him.
Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy and Cesar Chavez address the audience at an unknown meeting, possibly on the floor of the United States Senate.
Many of the panelists that spoke on Thursday focused on the importance of placing Cesar Chavez's legacy in a modern context. A few of the activists said Cesar Chavez's words should be remembered in the fight for comprehensive immigration reform, the Dream Act, and the on-going struggle to end harsh state immigration laws like those in Arizona and Alabama.
Activists in Tucson, Arizona say that Chavez's fight against discrimination is especially alive in their city. After the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) banned the city's Mexican-American studies program, organizers say that the annual Cesar Chavez march would no longer be held at a local high school because of further censorship from the school district.
According to Laura Dent, an organizer of the Arizona Cesar Chavez Holiday Coalition, the TUSD stipulated that there could be no mention to the elimination of Tucson's Mexican-American studies program in order for it to be held at Pueblo High Magnet School, where it has been held for more than a decade.
"So the Chavez Coalition decided that with that kind of level of censorship, we would just move the staging area of the event," Dent told NPR.
Viviana Hurtado, the moderator of the White House's commemorative panel, told The Huffington Post that she was able to chat briefly with Cesar Chavez's son about what advice his father would give us in a modern context.

The new book "To Selena, With Love" reveals intimate details about the late Tejano star's life, but the book's author – her widower, Chris Perez – doesn't consider it a "tell-all" kind of book.
"I thought it should be honest, with dignity. I knew there would be things that would make me feel uncomfortable, but I think I wrote the book with respect," Perez, 42, said in a recent interview.
Perez says the book, released Tuesday, allows him to share his memories of Selena Quintanilla, who was shot and killed on March 31, 1995, two weeks shy of her 24th birthday. The Mexican-American singer was a sensation in the Tejano world with hits such as "Como la flor," "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" and "El chico del apartamento 512." She was on the verge of crossing over when she was killed by Yolanda Saldivar, the president of her fan club.
"When Selena died, I suppressed the memories, I boxed them away in order to cope. When I decided to write the book, I opened the box and put it all out. It was a beautiful process. It was a good thing to revisit and I can't say I fell in love again because I never stopped loving her," he said.
Perez met Selena when he became the lead guitarist for Selena y Los Dinos. It was a band formed by Selena's father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr., and also featured her siblings Suzette and A.B. Quintanilla.
Perez confesses that he feels remorse for not protecting his wife. He wonders if things would have been different had he told someone that Selena told him days before her death that Saldivar had shown her a gun. Perez also addresses rumors, including one that Selena was pregnant at the time of her death (she wasn't).
The first part of the book talks about their secret love. Their romance started behind her father's back, as depicted in the 1997 movie starring Jennifer Lopez, "Selena." Selena's father was opposed to their relationship and accused Perez of being with his daughter only for her money. Selena's father only accepted Perez after the couple eloped in 1992. Perez describes his father-in-law as an admirable person whom he still loves and respects. "We had our differences but I love him and respect him like my own father. As a matter of fact, I just went to his studio the other day and I took my kids to see him. We're still a family," he said.
Perez says that music was really a "business" for Selena; her real passion was fashion. "I have pads and pads of sketches," he said. "Most of the clothes she wore were her own designs." After Selena's death, the guitarist, who lives in San Antonio, struggled to cope with his loss but eventually moved on. He formed The Chris Perez Band, which won a Grammy in 1999. He also married Venessa Villanueva in 2001 and the couple had two kids, but they divorced a few years later.
Selena Gomez named after the late Queen of Tejano music, Selena Quintanilla, who has been gone for 17 years.
The Disney princess tackled the Mexican pop legend Selena's "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom"—but can her cover hold a candle to the original? "I'm keeping her name alive," she said proudly. The new Selena featuring Selena duet, "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom," from Enamorada de Ti, the upcoming album honoring Quintanilla and boasting other collabos with Samo from Mexican rock band Camila ("Amor Prohibido"), Cristian Castro ("Como La Flor"), Juan Magán ("Enamorada De Ti"), and Don Omar ("Fotos y Recuerdos").
Selena Gomez tells Abraham Quintanilla, "I'm extremely honored that you thought of me for this. The 73 year old patriarch responded, "I know it's going to be un éxito." Enamorada de Ti drops April 3.

Q: How can I remove the number associated with typeid( ).name( ) in C++? I have a factory method class that generates "Items" and returns a pointer to the Item that it creates.
I have derived classes of Item. For example, Item can be a "weapon" "consumable" or "armor."
I need to detect which type of Item is created so that I can properly cast the Item to that type. I did some test lines and it looks like it's doing what I want, except for adding a number associated with the type.
Example:
I had the line:
cout << "Type Created: " << typeid(pItem).name() << endl;

Which return the base class Item, but it would display: "4Item"
I then changed that to:
cout << "Type Created: " << typeid(*pItem).name() << endl;

Which would give me the correct derived type, but also throw in that number. So I get something like "5Armor"
Why did pItem return the base class? And why does it return an int with the type? How can I remove the int?
A solution that does what I want - In a "cheating" kind of way:
            string type;
            string returnedType = typeid(*pItem1).name();
            for (int i=1; i < returnedType.length(); i++){
                    type.push_back(returnedType[i]);
            }
            cout << "type: " << type << endl;

Thanks

A: You probably shouldn't use type-codes and switch/downcasts for this. Instead, put your object-specific code into a virtual method or (depending on the problem at hand) use a visitor pattern. Your current approach will probably look something like this in the end:
int price = 0;

if (obj->get_type_str() == "armor")
{
    price = 1000 + ((Armor *)obj)->get_durability() * 100;
}
else if (obj->get_type_str() == "ninjasword")
{
    price = 5000 * ((NinjaSword *)obj)->get_damage();
}
else if (obj->get_type_str() == "bfg")
{
    price = 20000;
}

shop->show_price(price);

The problem is, that this isn't very extensible. Instead of defining the price of an object along with the object, it will be littered around the code. A better way would be to provide a virtual method get_price(), that can do this:
class GameObject
{
public:
    virtual ~GameObject() {}
    virtual int get_price() const = 0;
};

class Armor: public GameObject
{
public:
    virtual int get_price() const
    {
        return 1000 + durability * 100;
    }

private:
    int durability;
};

class NinjaSword: public GameObject
{
public:
    virtual int get_price() const
    {
        return 5000 * damage;
    }

private:
    int damage;
};

class Bfg: public GameObject
{
public:
    virtual int get_price() const
    {
        return 20000;
    }
};

Now your object-specific code stays in the object and the previous code example simply becomes:
shop->show_price(obj->get_price());

If the code in question doesn't really belong to the object, this may be a case for the Visitor pattern.

A: typeid returns a const std::type_info&.  The std::type_info type has a function called name that returns an implementation-defined string representation of the name of the underlying type.  There are absolutely no guarantees about what this function is going to return - it doesn't have to return a string that looks anything at all like the name of the type in the original program, and can decorate it however it would like to.
If you need to keep track of the name of the type that you created, I would suggest just adding in a virtual function like this one to your hierarchy:
virtual std::string getType() const = 0;

This function could return a nice, human-readable representation of the type that is guaranteed to behave in the way that you want (because you're responsible for writing it).
Hope this helps!

A: I use g++ and also had this problem. Now strictly answering your question without any intention to point what's the best approach, there is another way to deal with this case.
Here is a copy/paste example for you:
Create a type of yours, like MyType.h
#ifndef __MYTYPE_H__
#define __MYTYPE_H__
class MyType {
};
#endif

and a main.cpp file, like this:
#include <cxxabi.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo>

#include "MyType.h"

template <typename T> char* get_typename(T& object)
{
    return abi::__cxa_demangle(typeid(object).name(), 0, 0, 0);
}

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    MyType my_type;

    std::cout << get_typename(my_type) << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

This would output: MyType
I came to this solution based on an answer from this post that took me to this article.

A: If you just need to convert pointers, you don't have to create your own type identifier. Just use dynamic_cast to convert the pointer. If the type doesn't match you'll get a null pointer, and you can try another type. Or you can compare the typeid of the pointer and the typeid of each target type directly.
Of course, not having to do this kind of runtime type searching is even better.

This God is greater than the Highs and Lows tank symbolizes the fact that no matter what ups or downs come our way, God is bigger than it all and His presence remains constant! You'll never want to take this comfy and soft tank off!
This tank is wonderful...it's fitted enough under the arms, but flowy enough over the tummy area so it doesn't feel painted on, which is a huge plus to me. I am usually a small/medium size, and the medium is a perfect fit. I'm very happy with my purchase!

Cycle Repair Stands can be a bit mundane but this one I bought from Halfords is currently £40. I've had it for over 12 months so this is a decent long term test and I have to say, that its stood the test of time. I did buy a stand on Amazon…on Prime…because it was free, but it cost a good deal more than this one and its broke on first use, so had to be returned.
At fist glance on the website, this one looks to be plastic but its not. The main supporting parts are a sturdy metal tube and the leg system is similar to the type you would find on Photographic light stand. Once adjusted, the whole structure is very stable and I had no doubts in lifting the bike on. The pivoting feet mean that even on a slightly irregular surface, the stability remains.
It has a decent plastic tray for tools and screws etc. The main part the clamp is plastic but feels heavy duty and comes with rubber parts to protect your bikes paintwork.
I own a KTM electric bike (pictured) and have put the bike on this stand with battery still attached, although I usually take battery off to save my back!. Even with the extra weight of the battery it hardly moves when you're working on your bike.
Find the balance and it is stable. If you get the balance point right you don't need to close the clamps (although thats advisable) Its rock solid!

Regardless of what the Treasury Department is arguing. . . .
• Tough new capital and liquidity requirements to reduce the risks presented by the biggest Wall Street firms do not apply to community banks. In fact, the law largely exempted about 7,000 community banks and thrift institutions, nearly all of which hold less than $10 billion in assets and a third of which hold less than $100 million, from these requirements.
• Wall Street Reform requires the biggest institutions to pay a larger share of the cost of deposit insurance protection, reflecting the greater risk they pose to the financial system.
• Wall Street Reform strengthens protections for one of community banks' core sources of funding by raising deposit insurance protection from $100,000 to $250,000.
Wolin is being highly selective! Among the other blessings Dodd-Frank provides, he forgets to mention, for instance, the new regulatory infrastructure most small banks will have to install to carry out the 4,000 or so pages of new rules the law will spawn. What will be a minor inconvenience at big banks (who already have bloated compliance departments) becomes a crushing new cost burden at small ones. And he forgets to mention, too, the Durbin Amendment. Small banks are supposed to be exempt from Durbin, of course, but they know they'll have to price interchange by it anyway if they want merchants to accept their debit cards. Also, the repeal of Reg Q (which prohibited interest payments on business accounts) will add to small banks' cost of deposits.
There's more, but you get the picture. In fact, Dodd-Frank is a disaster for small banks-and for the Treasury Department to argue otherwise is pure chutzpah. The law adds so many new costs that, by common consensus (which I agree with), banks with less than $500 million in assets are simply no longer economically viable, and will feel pressure to sell out-probably at a semi-fire-sale price. Banks above $500 million will see their profitability permanently dented. That's not good for credit creation for small business, or good for the economy generally. And it's a high price for these institutions to have to pay, especially since they didn't cause all the problems in the first place.
Why is it so difficult for the community banks to see how wonderful Dodd-Frank will be for them?
Tom, you of all people should know that the whole focus of the Obama Administration, led by Mr. Summers and Mr. Geitner has been to protect and insulate the TBTF banks so that they can once again drive the economy eventually into an even bigger ditch then the last time.
As usual, Tom, you're on-spot. Legislators really seem delusional when it comes to compliance with bank regulation and, while we're at it, the tax code. The smaller you are, the more disproportionate your costs for accounting and regulatory compliance. I don't get how legislators and government officials are so incredibly clueless about this simple principle.
One positive note is that Tom Hoenig, recently retired from the KC Fed, has been nominated to be FDIC vice chairman. He's no fan of Dodd-Frank and is also a hawk on too big to fail. We could probably use Tom more as a voting member of the Open Market Committee where he was a frequent dissenter with the majority vote on low rates but at least he won't be lost to the industry.
A bank is a utility … a mere extension of the government.
You need to take your analysis another step. Small banks will "will feel pressure to sell out–probably at a semi-fire-sale price." ….
And sell out to larger banks, further consolidating the banking industry at the higher end of the size spectrum.
How exactly does that "level the playing field between large and small banks"? Answer: It doesn't.


I haven't blogged on this site for a while, partly because I was so busy -- covering the Arab Spring, having a kid and then moving to Brazil, after a brief stint in Miami -- but now I am returning to it. I had hoped, standing on Tahrir Square and then covering the frontline battles with Libya's rebels, or talking to Syrians standing up to their terrifying government, that the Arab Spring might make the themes of Spiders of Allah redundant. On the contrary, they have become much, much worse, and the Arab Spring, for various complex reasons, is now a kind of nuclear winter for the Middle East. Grey skies, nothing growing but death, hatred and fear.
Yesterday, the American photojournalist James Foley was brutally murdered by the Islamist extremists who have set up a "Caliphate" in the ruins of Syria and Iraq. My first gut reaction was rage: these psychopaths certainly deserve to get their comeuppance, and deserve no mercy. But the rage sweeping the Western world, and America in particular, is exactly was ISIS wants. They feed off anger and despair. People are saying Obama should "grow a pair" or "drop the bomb" -- but that is what ISIS wants. Nothing would act as a better recruiting tool to them than saying the infidel Zionist-Crusaders are trying to crush the true descendants of the Prophet, to rally every depressed wannabe jihadist to their cause. A show of force would almost certainly kill civilians too, providing propaganda value to the extremists and radicalising whatever relatives survived the raid.
James Foley's death is tragic and shocking, all the more so to me because I covered many of the same conflicts, we are almost the same age (and same name too) and because he was kidnapped at exactly the same time my daughter was born, in November 2012. I think of all the joy she has brought me in her brief lifetime, and compare that with what James was going through at the same time -- the terror, the dark basements in bombed-out cities, the armed men in masks and the knowledge of what your disappearance is doing to your loved ones back home.


Yesterday was my anniversary and I made this card for my hubby. I thought the images kind of looked like they were carved into the tree. I used my Stamparatus so I could double heat emboss the image. I stamped it once with Versamark and heat embossed with copper, then I stamped it again and repeated the heat embossing.

If you have seen the new Share What You Love Designer Series Paper, you may want to pick up this stamp set before it's gone. One of the patterns in that pack looks to have this flower on it. I was inspired to create a similar patterned paper but with Wisteria Wonder instead of Mint Macaron since you can't buy that yet. Funny thing, this might be the first time I've even used Wisteria Wonder. All of the stamping is either embossed with clear or silver embossing powder.
That silver layer isn't silver foil, I made it. I used Versamark around the edges and added silver embossing powder. I did the same on the label but thinner. It looks gold in the picture but it's silver.

How cost-competitive are mature markets?
By Sabine Vollmer
Global economy and markets
Governance and risk
The increasing value of the US dollar in the past year has hampered the cost-competitiveness of the US, according to KPMG's 2016 guide to international business location costs. Within the North American Free Trade Agreement region and compared with developed economies in Europe and Asia-Pacific, the US is now by far the most expensive market.
Among the ten countries in the KPMG guide, ninth-ranked Japan has a 7.3% cost advantage over the US. Second-ranked Canada's cost advantage is 14.6%, and Mexico, the only developing economy in the study, has a cost advantage of 22.5%.
In the two decades KPMG has studied business location costs in the ten countries, "this .. represents the first time that the US has ever placed this low in the … cost rankings," the 2016 guide reported.
The study uses a set of business operating specifications that are held constant for all locations. The model applies 26 location-sensitive cost factors, including labour and transportation costs, cost of capital, taxes, and incentives, for 19 industries and business operations. Rankings are then based on the business costs in 111 major cities in the ten countries.
Mexico, Canada, and the Netherlands retained the top three rankings as most cost-competitive markets in the past two years. Italy came in fourth, up two spots from 2014, followed by Australia, which moved up three places. France was in sixth place, down one spot from two years ago, and the UK, in seventh place, was down three spots. Germany moved up two places to eighth, ahead of Japan and the US.
NAFTA. Mexico had the lowest labour and facility costs of the ten countries in the study, a ranking that was greatly helped by the rise in value of the US dollar compared with the peso in 2015. Business costs in the Mexican corporate services sector were less than half compared to the US. Less-skilled clerical and administrative staff contribute to the cost savings.
Canada ranked among the three most competitive markets in labour, facility, and transportation costs, and in corporate income taxes. Significant federal and provincial support for research and development activities provides Canada a 27.7% cost advantage in research and development services compared with the US.
Europe. The rise in the value of the US dollar compared with the euro bolstered the cost-competitiveness of the Netherlands, Italy, France, and Germany. R&D tax credits and incentive support further aided the Netherlands, France, and Italy.
Italy's labour costs were third lowest overall. Germany ranked second and third lowest in facility and transportation costs, respectively. The Netherlands ranked among the three countries with the lowest corporate income taxes.
The British pound held some ground against the US dollar, which hampered the cost-competitiveness of the UK as a whole, compared with countries in the euro zone. But results varied significantly within the UK. Manchester, for example, had the lowest business costs among the ten European cities included in the study, and London had the highest. Also, UK corporate income taxes ranked among the lowest in the study.
Asia-Pacific. The rise in the value of the US dollar helped improve the cost-competitiveness of Australia and Japan. Australia consistently ranks fifth among the ten countries in all sectors, except manufacturing, which is affected by relatively high costs to lease industrial facilities and transport freight. Japan had the lowest transportation costs among the ten countries.

Prevention and Treatment Over the last 20 years, the number of Canadians living with asthma or allergies has increased significantly — today, nearly one-third are affected.
MedicAlert bracelets are an important part of being safe with allergies.
According to Statistics Canada, 8.5 percent of Canadians over 12 years of age have been diagnosed with asthma and asthma affects 13 percent of children. Every year, asthma kills approximately 500 adults and 20 children in Canada, and accounts for 146,000 emergency room visits (Canadian Lung Association).
Food and drug allergies are among the most severe and a growing public health concern affecting approximately 2.5 million Canadians, based on self-reporting (Anaphylaxis Canada).
Separate or together, asthma and allergies can be quite severe, which is why being prepared in case of an emergency is so crucial.
Kyle Dine, Canadian children's songwriter and food allergies advocate and educator, knows first-hand what it's like to grow up with food allergies and ensure his own safety.
Kyle Dine, a musician and allergy educator who performs at school assemblies across North America about food allergies, knows this first-hand. Kyle has worn a MedicAlert® ID bracelet since his youth for his asthma and allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, seafood, mustard and penicillin.
"Now that I'm an allergic adult, I'm quite capable of letting people know about my food restrictions, yet I still wear my MedicAlert every day. I experienced a life-threatening reaction a few years ago where my symptoms made it extremely difficult to breathe, let alone speak. Luckily I was with my family, but I am quite aware that this situation could arise in the future in the company of those who are not as aware.

Rigid Ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) is a monocot weed in the Poaceae family. In Victoria this weed first evolved multiple resistance (to 4 herbicide sites of action) in 1999 and infests Wheat. Multiple resistance has evolved to herbicides in the Groups A/1, B/2, G/9, and K1/3. These particular biotypes are known to have resistance to chlorsulfuron, diclofop-methyl, glyphosate, and trifluralin and they may be cross-resistant to other herbicides in the Groups A/1, B/2, G/9, and K1/3.
QUIK STATS (last updated Sep 04, 2008 )
Group ACCase inhibitors (A/1)
Herbicides chlorsulfuron, diclofop-methyl, glyphosate, and trifluralin
Location Australia, Victoria
Situation(s) Wheat
Contributors - (Alphabetically) Christopher Preston
Greenhouse trials comparing a known susceptible Rigid Ryegrass biotype with this Rigid Ryegrass biotype have been used to confirm resistance. For further information on the tests conducted please contact the local weed scientists that provided this information.
Genetic studies on Group A, B, G, K1/1, 2, 9, 3 resistant Rigid Ryegrass indicate that the inheritance is determined by a one gene, semi dominant trait. There may be a note below or an article discussing the genetics of this biotype in the Fact Sheets and Other Literature
Studies on the mechanism of resistance of multiple resistant Rigid Ryegrass from Victoria indicate that resistance is due to sequestration. There may be a note below or an article discussing the mechanism of resistance in the Fact Sheets and Other Literature
There is no record of differences in fitness or competitiveness of these resistant biotypes when compared to that of normal susceptible biotypes. If you have any information pertaining to the fitness of multiple resistant Rigid Ryegrass from Victoria please update the database.

Q: Why can't we use the unit circle to get the value of sin x ,here? I was solving this problem (this isn't a hw question I already have the answers)

The acute angle x radiens is such that tanx = k, where k is a positive constant.

Express, in terms of k,

i) tan(π – x) [-k]

ii) tan(1/2π – x) [1/k]

iii) sin x [k/√1+k^2]

A friend told me that this question can't be solved with unit circle, because to use the ratio tan x = k/1
you will make y=k and x=1 so you will end up with a radius that's not equal to 1.
However, I didn't understand the problem with that since after all we're working with ratios and even if that radius is bigger or smaller than 1 using a circle to get the answer would still make the answer valid.
Anyway I solved i and ii using the unit circle then when it came to (iii) sin x, I wrote the answer to be k since sin is the value of the y coordinate but when I checked the answer it was k/√1+k^2 (by drawing a right angled triangle) and mine was wrong but I can't get my head around why it's wrong.
Update: one reason this was so confusing for me was because of a very big misconception I had, I thought that even if the radius gets to be, say, 2 the y coordinate will still be equal to sin x which isn't right, now sin x would be equal y/2.  I thought I should write this in case anyone had this misconception as me.

A: It's easy to explain.
Suppose $\tan x = k$. You can write $k$ as a fraction $\frac k1$.
You know $\tan x = \frac{\sin x }{\cos x}$, so you want to find the numerator (i.e., $\sin x$) of this fraction.
But of course, every fraction can be written in lots of ways: $\frac k1 =\frac{2k}2 = \frac{3k}3\cdots$, so which one is the right numerator to choose?
You want the one where the numerator and denominator are the $y$ and $x$ coordinates of a point on the unit circle, so you want $(\textrm{num})^2 + (\textrm{denom})^2 = 1$.
So you want to find $c$ such that for the fraction $\frac{ck}{c}$ you have $(ck)^2 + (c)^2 = 1$. You can solve this equation for $c$ as follows:
$$(ck)^2 + (c)^2 = 1$$
$$c^2k^2 + c^2=1$$
$$c^2(k^2+1)=1$$
$$c^2 = \frac 1{k^2+1}$$
$$c = \pm\frac1{\sqrt{k^2+1}}$$
So you want to choose the numerator of the fraction $\frac {ck}k$, i.e., $ck$. But since $c = \pm\frac1{\sqrt{k^2+1}}$, you have two possibilities:
$$\sin x = \pm \frac{k}{\sqrt{k^2+1}}$$
Now since $x$ is acute, you want to choose the positive version (so the point $(c,ck)$ is in the first quadrant). So finally, you arrive at
$$\sin x = \boxed{\frac{k}{\sqrt{k^2+1}}}$$

Long story short:
If you know that $$\tan\theta = \frac ab$$ then you also know that
$$\sin\theta = \pm\frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$$
$$\cos\theta = \pm\frac{b}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$$
where the $\pm$ is chosen to be the same in both expressions (it's just because $\frac ab = \frac{-a}{-b}$).

AKC Dog Breed Groups and Their Characteristics
August 26, 2022 March 29, 2022 by Barbara Dilucchio
The American Kennel Club (AKC) groups dog breeds by the functionalities they were originally bred for. As a result, most of the AKC dog breed groups and their characteristics have much in common with the other breeds within the same group.
The current list of AKC dog breed groups is as follows:
Sporting Group
Non-Sporting Group
Herding Group
Hound Group
Terrier Group
Toy Group
Sporting Group Breeds
Non-Sporting Group Breeds
Herding Group Breeds
Hound Group Breeds
Working Group Breeds
Terrier Group Breeds
Toy Group Breeds
Some lesser-known breeds include the Lagotto Romagnolo, the Boykin Spaniel, and the Barbet, a water dog from France. The Lagotto Romagnolo is also called the Italian "Truffle Dog", due to its ability to sniff out truffles.
Some more well-known breeds within this group are the Irish Setter, Gordon Setter, German Short-haired Pointer, Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, and the Irish Water Spaniel.
Golden Retriever is part of the Sporting
Breed Group
This breed Group tends to be medium to large. The Cocker Spaniel is the smallest of the sporting dog breeds while some larger breeds in the sporting group include the Clumber Spaniel, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and the Curly Coated Retriever.
The Sporting dogs are naturally active and alert and make enjoyable, great companions. They were first developed to work closely with hunters to locate and/or retrieve quarries. There are four basic types of Sporting dogs; spaniels, pointers, retrievers, and setters. These breeds are known for their superior instincts in the water and the woods, many of these breeds enjoy hunting and other field activities. Many of them, especially the water-retrieving breeds, have well–insulated, water-repellant coats, which are quite resilient to the elements. Don't get one of these dogs unless you are very active, maybe a hunter. Also, you need to understand that most require regular, invigorating exercise.
The Viszla is another example from the Sporting Group
The Dalmation is part of the Non-Sporting Group
Unlike the majority of the breed groups, the Non-sporting dogs are a diverse group. Within the Non-Sporting dog groups, the breeds tend to have very different personalities and appearances. For example, the Dalmatian, French Bulldog, Keeshond, and Chow Chow, are all members of this group. These breeds are totally different in size, coat, and appearance.
The Shar-Pei is part of the Non-Sporting Group
Some breeds that are not very common or well-known are the Schipperke and the Tibetan Spaniel. Others, however, like the Poodle and Lhasa Apso, are more well-known. The breeds in the Non-Sporting Group are a varied collection in terms of size, coat, personality, and overall appearance.
The Non-Sporting dog group is made up of all the breeds that don't fit into any other category so this is why they are so different in every possible way.
The German Shepherd Dog is part of the herding group
The Herding Group, created in 1983, is the newest AKC classification; its members were formerly members of the Working Group. All breeds share the ability to control the movement of other animals. One unusual example of this ability is the little Corgi, at only one foot tall at the shoulders, which can drive a herd of cows many times its size to pasture by leaping and nipping at their heels. The vast majority of Herding dogs, as household pets, never cross paths with a farm animal. Nevertheless, pure instinct prompts many of these dogs to gently herd their owners, especially the children of the family.
These breeds were originally developed to gather, herd and protect livestock. Today, the Belgian Malinois, German Shepherd Dog, and others are commonly used for police and protection work.
Australian Cattle dogs are part of the Herding Group
Some breeds, such as Australian Cattle dogs and Corgis are cattle herders, while others such as the Border Collie and the Puli (a Hungarian sheepdog) were bred to herd sheep.
The Herding Group dog breeds make excellent pets if they are kept busy and get plenty of activity. The majority of these intelligent dogs make excellent companions and are very responsive to training exercises. The Herding breeds really need to be trained and can really excel in Obedience and Agility.
More well-known breeds within this group include the Collie, Australian Shepherd, Cardigan and Pembroke Welsh Corgis, and the German Shepherd Dog. Some lesser-known breeds within this group include the Finnish Lapphund, the Icelandic Sheepdog, and the Norwegian Buhund.
The Hounds were originally developed for hunting. However, the methods of hunting and the prey they hunt for are very different. There are two categories of Hounds, the sighthounds, and the scenthounds. The scenthounds have as their strongest sense the sense of smell, while the sighthound's keenest scent is their sight. Some of these hounds are pack hounds who work in a group while others work individually. Unlike the Sporting Group breeds, the Hound breeds don't retrieve fallen game for their handlers.
The Basenji is part of the Hound Group
In addition to the common purpose of hunting, other personality traits hounds have in common are intelligence and stubbornness. Sighthounds have a tendency to run after prey when off-leash, while scenthounds may wander off and get lost following a scent.
Other than the common traits of hounds already mentioned, generalizations about hounds are difficult to make, since the Group includes quite a diverse group of dog breeds. For example, the sizes of the Hound Group breeds range from the smallest miniature Dachshund to the largest of the group, the Irish Wolfhound.
Some hounds share the distinct ability to produce a unique sound known as baying. You should hear this sound before you decide to get a hound of your own to be sure it isn't horrible to you. Some scent hound breeds make this sound such as Beagles, Bloodhounds, and the various Coon Hounds. Sighthounds tend to be quieter.
Some sighthounds include the Afghan Hound, the Greyhound, the Borzoi, the Saluki, and the Whippet. The Greyhounds are able to reach speeds of up to 45 miles per hour. Greyhounds are most frequently used in dog racing. This breed also does very well in obedience and coursing.
Sighthounds have a unique, very thin build which some people do not care for as they look at these dogs and believe them to be malnourished. Because sighthounds hunt by sight, they need to have the speed and agility to keep up with their prey in order to keep them in their sight. Sighthound breeds typically have lean bodies, long legs, and a flexible back – they also have deep chests to support their unusually large hearts and lungs.
The Greyhound is part of the Hound Group
You'll find this breed to be very affectionate and well-behaved around children. They are generally trusting of strangers, however, some may tend to be quite shy. Unless there are other dogs in the household who woof, yap, and howl, many sighthounds rarely bark. So if you're looking for a polite and quiet companion, this could be the breed for you. However, if you're wanting a family watchdog, you might want to look elsewhere.
Since the working relationship between humans and dogs goes back further than any single breed, it's hard to determine the exact relationship the category has with dogs. That requires a deeper assessment of each breed listed as a Working Dog by the AKC.
The Boxer is part of the working group
Some tasks of Working Dogs include serving as rescue dogs, service animals, police dogs, guard dogs, and sled dogs, to name a few. Working Dogs generally grow large in stature and muscle mass, making them suitable for performing laborious tasks.
By 1983, it was determined that the Working Dog group had become too large. At the time, Working Dogs and Herding Dogs shared the same AKC classification. The end result was to split the Working Dog Group into 2 groups–The Working Dog Group and the Hound Group.
Many of the dogs in the Working Group do not make good pets for inexperienced dog parents. Due to their size and their intelligence, their strength can make them difficult to train for people who aren't familiar with proper disciplinary measures for their pets.
This often leaves many of the Working Group dogs abused, neglected, or even left in shelters while combating poor habits obtained through improper training.
So if you're seriously considering adopting one of these hardworking canines as your next pet, speak with rescue groups and vets about the breed you're looking into before adopting.
The Siberian Husky is part of the working group
However, if you and your family are up to the challenge, and have plenty of patience, many of these dogs do make wonderful family members and are even content in smaller living arrangements, such as the Great Dane.
The Terrier breeds originated in the UK. Their main purpose was to kill vermin in a wide variety of environments.
As this predatory behavior is self-rewarding for these dogs (ie it doesn't need an external reward such as a treat or praise), owners have to be aware that not only do their dogs enjoy carrying out these behaviors, they need to do them to stay healthy and happy.
American Pit Bull Terrier is part of the Terrier Group
Terrier breeds are all small dogs with huge – and fairly strong – personalities, except the larger Airedale. These breeds are frequently described as "large dogs in a small body". This description is due to their feisty and tenacious demeanors. Many of them will play fearlessly with much larger dogs.
Terriers are very alert and will alert you to any possible condition. They are also independent and do not do as well in obedience training as many of the other breed groups. These breeds are trainable it just takes patience and creativity as they are also not as anxious to please as other breed groups.
The vermin hunting and killing instincts are natural for Terriers. Successive years of breeding have sharpened these instincts to perfection. Terriers who don't have to stalk or chase their prey (as they are in very close proximity) are specialists in watching and killing their prey, often with a single bite.
The Border Terrier is Part of the Terrier Group
This means that your Terrier will respond best to training and games that simulate hunting.
Despite being small dogs, terriers enjoy lots of walks and exercise. This is a great breed for people who want to stay fit or just enjoy outdoor activities.
The Pomeranian is part of the Toy Group
The toy group consists of dogs that are small in size, yet large in personality. The toy group's main function is to be a human's companion. They are also great for people that live in apartments or condos that don't have large yards.
The toy group consists of dogs that are small in size, yet large in personality. While the Toy Group breeds have common characteristics, each breed has its own distinct standards and personalities.
Breeds in the Toy group are affectionate, sociable, and adaptable to a wide range of lifestyles. The Toy breeds are smart and full of energy and many have strong protective instincts.
The characteristics of the Toy Group breeds include the following:
The Chinese Crested is part of the Toy Group
Affectionate.
Sociable.
Adaptable to small environments.
May need space to be alone.
Don't have to work off a lot of energy.
Better with adults and older children.
For people that love dogs and want a dog but are older or just have restricted mobility, the Toy Group breeds make wonderful companions for these people.
This article shows a generalized view of the 7 Breed Groups currently recognized by the American Kennel Club. There are many more breeds than those recognized by the AKC. Please consider adopting a dog from a shelter if you are able to.

Film Review | Maze Runner: The Death Cure
2 min read . Updated: 05 Feb 2018, 02:55 PM IST Udita Jhunjhunwala
A still from 'Maze Runner: The Death Cure'.
The final instalment in the trilogy suffers from dystopia fatigue
The concluding instalment of the Maze Runner trilogy opens with an elaborate action sequence involving a moving train, tank-like jeeps, a transportation aircraft (called a Berg) and a train coach suspended in the air. The Gladers, led by Thomas, and their allies are attempting to rescue their friend Minho, who has been captured by WCKD. Why has he been captured? Because WCKD believes the cure to the virus is to be found in a clutch of humans immune to it.
To recap, Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) became a maze runner in the Glade (a green plateau surrounded by a monolithic wall, which is in fact a maze) and led a group of teens out of the grid. The following year, in The Scorch Trials, the Gladers faced the perils of the scorch and the schemes of WCKD (World In Catastrophe: Killzone Experiment Department) headed by Dr Ava Paige (Patricia Clarkson) and Janson (Aiden Gillen). Thomas, Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), Minho (Ki Hong Lee), Teresa Agnes (Kaya Scodelario), Frypan (Dexter Darden) and Winston (Alexander Flores) found allies in Jorge (Giancarlo Esposito), Vince and Brenda (Rosa Salazar)—members of an underground resistance movement. But then they were betrayed by Teresa, who sided with WCKD in its efforts to find a cure against the Flare virus, which turns humans into zombies.
In this concluding part, since Thomas and his crew steal the wrong train coach, the rest of the film is primarily about finding Minho. But it's also about Thomas's confrontation with former love, Teresa, about other Gladers who will succumb to the Flare, and about bringing down WCKD, once and for all. Their search for Minho brings Thomas and his team to the Last City. This is WCKD's sanctuary, surrounded by a colossal wall that seals them off from those infected with the deadly virus.
Wes Ball has helmed all three films based on the YA dystopian novels by James Dashner, which feature the expected tropes of the post-apocalyptic genre—zombies, infections, rebels, crumbling cities, rusting vehicles, subterranean habitats and arid landscapes. Explosions, man-eating walking dead, unimaginative action scenes, trite dialogue and awkward moments of tenderness crowd T.S. Nowlin's screenplay.
The intrigue of the first part, the fascinating design of the maze and the interplay between the characters trapped in the Glade have been eroded over the subsequent parts to end in a most unsatisfactory way. A number of entirely excessive side plots would have made scant difference to the conclusion. Maze Runner: The Death Cure might find favour with fans keen to wind up a trilogy unless, like me, they too are suffering from dystopia fatigue.

Missing Translation - Puzzle/Adventure [Android & PC]
"Missing Translation" won the "Best original idea" award at hoPLAY (international indie game festival), it was also nominated for "Best audio" and "Best art". It got the 3rd prize on a "The Big Indie Pitch" event and was featured on "Rock, Paper, Shotgun" and "Pocketgamer". Vote for us on Greenlight now! :D

What is "Missing Translation"? (working tittle)
It's an upcoming game that will be launched on Android and PC.
It's inspired on classic PC point & click games but also on FEZ and other modern titles. There's some plot behind it but it's pretty abstract, it's all centered around puzzles. The game introduces a couple of different sets of mental challenges, each of these sets has different rules and mechanics, if you get stuck or don't like a certain type of puzzle you can just skip it and come back later.
We are making it accessible to everyone(not too hard to complete with some effort) but we're also adding several hardcore puzzles with really cool rewards for people who seek a greater challenge. It doesn't mind what kind of player you are, we'll have suitable content for everyone to enjoy if you give us a chance.
We hadn't worked together before this project, in fact, we didn't even know each other a few weeks ago. We're doing all this because we love creating games and we believe in what we do. We're not professionals so we work part-time.

When I start designing a game the first thing I ask myself is: "What do I want to achieve with it?". With "Missing Translation" I want to create a game that entertains players at the same time that makes them use their brains, games should always provide with positive experiences. I'm trying my best to design puzzles that you'll find interesting and that are fit for different types of users.
All this is wrapped with the gorgeous art drawn by Gustavo that takes you to this strange world which mixes steampunk and western elements. The music composed by Albert should set player in the mood to relax and ponder about the challenges.
Finally there's this abstract plot with minimalist environmental narrative(we're avoiding text at all costs). I love adding some inexplicit messages here and there, most players won't notice them but I do it anyway. Some things in the game have a deeper meaning for me but each player should find his/her own interpretation of the game. If you don't like this kind of artistic stuff don't worry, we won't be shoving it in your face, you can just play to complete the puzzles.
This is our first art, still setting the world and the style.

-Are you going to launch a kickstarter campaign? You can never say never but I highly doubt it.
-.... Steam Greenlight?Too soon to tell.
-When is the game going to be released? It won't take forever, it should be ready in 2-4 months, but you know what they say: "it's done when it's done" .
-How much will it cost? It'll be a free game, we decided that from the beginning.
-So ... are you gonna include ads in the app? Not at all, I'm against ads, they take away the immersion.
-Microtransactions? Nope, don't expect them either. We will have a "support us" version for people who want to support us but that'll be completely optional.

Re: Missing Translation - Puzzle/Adventure [Android & PC]
Happy screenshot saturday! Today we're showing one of the strange folks you'll find in the game. Right now all the sprites are in black and white, the plan is to use colors to highlight important things, but that will come later.
It all started because I wanted to make a new game for Android, after publishing my first app on Google Play I got some experience and I was ready to embark on a serious project. I wanted to make something I would like as a player; I don't play many games on my mobile device, the market is flooded with low quality titles and I don't find many games appealing .
I love puzzle games, so that seemed like a good option to start with, though I didn't want to develop another completely abstract project, don't get me wrong, I like abstract games but this time I wanted to add some kind of meaningful plot or context to the mix.
So I made a few basic prototypes, one of them evolved into what's our current project. It's about a guy who feels out of place, everything is alien to him and he just wants to figure out what the hells is going on. I designed some puzzles on paper and at this point it was closer to a LucasArts point&click adventure.
Later I realized that people feel the urge to express themselves and communicate, not being able to speak the language the rest of the people is using is awful, and that's exactly what's happening in the game to reinforce the feeling of isolation.
My next thought was "how cool would it be if you could learn the language". Using it to interact with the game would be like making an effort to change, understand and fit in. This idea took me to a new prototype.
This mechanic mimics the Android lock screen and it's used to draw symbols, your character will say whatever you draw. Some of these symbols have a meaning and can be used to interact with NPCs.
At some point of the development I thought this mechanic would be the main feature in the game but after some tests I saw too many downsides, instead of focusing on that we're just going to make it optional, which is what FEZ did. Do you want to solve a couple of puzzles, have fun and complete the game? That´s fine! Do you want to get more involved in the game and take your time? We'll make sure you have plenty of things to explore!
Language is how the theme of the game is represented through context and gameplay but it also needs a visual representation. You've seen some of the sketches and assets that Gustavo made for the creatures who appear in the game, but we still needed a protagonist for our adventure. We could have created an even weirder creature that didn't look like the others in the game, but we thought it would be better to have an average guy as the main character; someone the player can relate to.
After some time it all came down to one of these designs:
And the chosen one was ...
Right now we're still making puzzles and creating the world, there's lots of things to do and details to add, we have a long way ahead, but we're developing what I believe will be an interesting experience for the players, mixing classic puzzle mechanics with a setting that you'll want to explore.
As a developer I find it hard to speak about the project, I want to explain the origin ,and the meaning, but at the same time I want to leave it open to interpretation (or no interpretation at all if that's what you wish) but what I can say is that I am an experienced player and this is the kind of game I would play until I completed it, and I think that with a bit of luck most users will feel the same way.
Stay tuned for more news about "Missing Translation"!
(don't forget to follow us on Twitter)
Happy screenshot saturday! Today we're showing a tiny part of the town which works as the main hub in the game.
Happy screenshot saturday! We're still alive, working and preparing some leaflets for RetroMadrid :D
Our development is around 30%, it's really hard to measure such thing but it's close.
In a few days there's a game event taking place in Madrid(RetroMadrid), and we thought it could be cool to print a bunch of flyers and be there promoting the project.
There were a few things we had to get ready before making the flyers, we needed to decide the definitive title, start adding colors to our assets and create a basic website.
We ended up using "Missing translation", over the last months we have come to love it. Regarding colors, our plan was to use them to highlight interactive objects, we did a few mockups to try them out. This is what happened:
We didn't like them at all, it looks awful, besides, black and white is pretty unique, so we won't be using colors in "Missing Translation".
And I've set up a basic tumblr page for our game, everything there was taken from this devlog, so there's nothing new, but it was a necessary thing to have.
Once we went through our to-do list I told Gustavo and he made a design for our flyer (since the event is in Madrid it's in Spanish).
And I guess that's all for now, time to get back to work!

Hey, this game looks cool!! It has a pretty unique aspect, keep up the good work.
Are you guys from Madrid? I live there (here), but sadly I can't assist to RetroMadrid and promote Invertium like you guys are doing, since I'm on a trip this weekend.
Good luck with it!
Working on HacknPlan, the planning tool for indie game developers.
Quote from: lunarkingdom on April 21, 2014, 01:28:19 PM
Actually, I'm the only one who lives in Madrid. The guys from Indie-o-rama helped me promoting my first Android project, they have their own stand at RetroMadrid and I'll be there giving away the flyers :D
Development has been a bit slow lately, Gustavo(the artist) had some work to do and I've been busy with the Ludum Dare and personal business; that's why I didn't publish a new devlog entry earlier. We're not dropping the project or delaying it at all, the game features 4 big puzzle sets; one of them is ready, I'd like to finish the second during this month, the third during June, the forth during July and leave 30-45 days to add optional sidequests, polish it, etc.
I thought it would be a good idea to explain the gameplay with some detail.
I love puzzle games, my first game for Android was "Simplicity", one of those abstract games where you have a bunch of challenges and a menu to go from one to another. I enjoy this kind of games but I prefer to have some kind of world of setting around the puzzles. I never really cared about the plot in games like "Professor Layton" or "Puzzle Agent", but I liked the fact that I was achieving something else with those puzzles. And it's always great to wander in a game if you have beautiful art and music; I'm one of those people who play FEZ from time to time just to enjoy the art.
But there's one thing I didn't like about those games, the puzzles weren't deep enough for me, I like when I'm given a few basic mechanics and I get harder challenges based around those mechanics; when you go from something easy to something harder you get a better understanding of what you are doing, and I love that feeling.
So I thought:"I'd like to have a game with 3-4 puzzle sets and some kind of minimal story/plot. At least I'd enjoy that game". And that's the guideline I'm following while developing "Missing Translation", it's kind of an experiment to see if it works.
I'll show one of these sets so you get the idea.
In this puzzle you have to rotate the tiles by clicking on them, you solve it once all their edges match. I designed 25 levels for this simple mechanic which go from the simplest case possible to some harder challenges.
I guess that's all we have for now, time to get back to work, stay tuned!
valrus
The "lockscreen language" idea is great. (And if you made the symbols be Eulerian paths, drawing them could be a puzzle in itself.)
One thing I really enjoy with language-type puzzles is when the relationships between symbols are meaningful enough that new ones can be deduced. Like in LOOM, where you learn that reversal is meaningful. Or in the (rather obscure) JRPG "Rudra no Hihou", when you figure out that spells have suffixes with predictable effects. Or in the real-life Korean alphabet, where shape transformations in the consonants express systematic manner-of-pronunciation distinctions.
Quote from: valrus on May 12, 2014, 04:32:42 PM
LOOM was one of my main inspirations for the "lockscreen language" system. After some tests I came to a point where I couldn't make the concept accesible to most people(specially when I'm trying to avoid the use of text in the game; I'm exploring ways to teach mechanics to the players) and it was really hard to keep the game fresh and not repetitive.
I wasn't sure about making a whole game based on this mechanic, maybe I'll do this in the future, but it's a big design challenge. So I decided to do something similar to what FEZ did, everyone should be able to complete the game solving the regular puzzles, but there are gonna be some harder challenges for people who enjoy them; they won't be the main part of the game but I think hardcore players will enjoy theme. Almost all of these harder challenges will use the lockscreen system.
Yeah, that makes complete sense. I would have been annoyed if it seemed like Fez was requiring me to solve its languages. (Although I like cryptograms, I don't like when games present them as languages, and that turned me off at the outset.) But going back to Fez the second time, I gave it a shot and was rewarded with more game.
Quick announcement!
We have a new member on our team. Tice contacted me because our project caught his eye and he wanted to help with the development. He'll be taking care of the sound design :D
#screenshotsaturday
Still working on Missing Translation. We're aiming to release the game during October :D
--NOTE: some elements from the gif are just placeholders --
We have finished 2 out of 3 sets of puzzles(yup, there were going to be 4, but now it's three, schedule stuff)and the town map is at 60-70%, only Gustavo(the artist) could tell. So things are going fine, we have lots of work ahead(as always), but it looks good :D .
Now it's the time to start putting the pieces together, connecting maps, puzzles and tweaking things. Right now we have a build with lots of debug commands and it's kind of confusing if you're not part of the development team. I'm working hard to polish what we already have so I can e-mail a build to some friends over the next week in order to get some feedback
I don't wanna release a public demo, it would spoil the final game. Public alphas/demos only make sense in games like Minecraft or Nuclear Throne(games meant to be played over and over).
I've reached that point of development when it's getting hard to see what's right and what's wrong with the game, so this "demo" will be useful (and it's making us polish a lot of things, which is important).
Developing a game for a long time it's always hard, emotionally speaking, at least for me. Somedays I'll wake up, launch the game and think "The puzzles are too easy, people are going to get bored fast", "People are going to think it's silly" or "Why bother?". Luckily most days I just launch the game again and say "Hey, I'd enjoy these puzzles" and "Huh, the art and the music are so beautiful that I'm enjoying just walking around". So I guess that at the end of the day the most important thing is to keep calm, carry on and finish your game.
That's what we're doing here after all, creating games and sharing them with others :D
Panurge
I'm not sure why this game isn't getting more love. It looks to be shaping up really nicely and the language element is innovative and fascinating. I look forward to seeing how it develops.
@wiwyums - Website - Writer for hire
Thanks for your comment :D
The language mechanic is going to add some very interesting design challenges, once I finish the last set of puzzles I'll beging with the language content. The mechanics are already working, now it's just a matter of designing the quests.
Step 1: Play this
Step 2: Watch the gif
Step 3: Take a deep breath and relax :D
Note: The music track is part of the game.
We sent some testers(a.k.a. friends) a quick demo of the game along with a manual. There are just a few puzzles available, the "speaking" system is not working yet and we're months away from the release date, but feedback is important for us even at this stage of development.
If anyone wants to play the current build to make suggestions or find bugs just say it
I'm sure you know how crowdfunding campaigns work. You need several months to plan them and even then it's hard to reach your goal.
Well... we went crazy and made one in just a bunch of hours. We're releasing the game anyway, but we were offered a booth in a big gaming event and we'd love to rent it.
Support us here!


As I write this on the Monday before it appears here, all I can say is "Baby, it's cold outside!" I have The Weather Channel app on my tablet, and its update at 2:10 p.m. noted that Fallon's temperature was 19 degrees (but felt like 9 degrees). Brrr!!! With clear skies in abundance, we'll probably dip down into negative numbers during the wee hours of the morning.
Dogs are, however, another story. In many homes, nobody but Fido and Fluffy are there all day. The humans in the household keep their feline friend, Fluffy, inside when they go to work because she uses the litter box (and it's the right thing to do). However, their canine companion, Fido, needs a potty break a couple of times a day. Not having thumbs, Fido cannot turn a doorknob himself, so the inevitable happens and he ends up spending his days outdoors.
Though some breeds (say, malamutes or huskies) handle colder weather well, most dogs do not. Most at risk are puppies, shorthaired dogs, senior dogs and those with health problems, but you can provide protection and warmth. First on the list is shelter. Build or buy a dog house that is just big enough for your dog to turn around and lie down comfortably. Any larger than that, the space will be hard to keep warm via body heat.
Position the dog house so that the doorway is not facing the prevailing wind. To help insulate the interior more, staple burlap or polyethylene (cut slightly larger than the opening) at the top of the doorway. Most dogs will easily learn how to use this doggie door. Insulate the floor of this outdoor home with a thick layer of straw or cedar shavings, both of which should be changed regularly. To make it extra comfy, throw an old blanket on top; if not, please brush your furry friend when he comes in for the night.
Provide shorthaired dogs with a sweater or vest that covers the neck, chest and belly. Dog booties also protect paws from snow and ice. Don't forget water — dogs can become dehydrated in winter as well as in summer. Use a plastic bowl filled with enough water so that it's not likely to freeze during daylight hours and place it outside the dog house. (Do not use a metal bowl; like ours, a dog's tongue could freeze to it).
Give your pooch extra calories, especially protein, if he has to spend his days outdoors. This is truly vital to his well-being. Finally, when your workday is done, bring Fido inside where he can be with his pack where there is love and companionship.
Don't forget that CAPS will be at Walmart on Dec. 21, so please stop by and see us from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We'd love it if we could help with your last-minute shopping. We'll have our pullover and zipped hoodies, sweatshirts, long- and short-sleeved T-shirts, calendars, caps, totes and baked goods for sale.
Though we have had pullover hoodies for a good while, the zipped ones are new items in our merchandise. Do you find it cumbersome to wear a pullover hoodie, particularly if you have to pull it on and off several times a day? A zipped one is another story altogether — so easy to put on and take off!
While you're visiting with us, why not get your 2014 Happy Endings calendar? A bargain at only $10, it also makes an inexpensive gift. (All proceeds directly go to the dogs and cats in our care.) The calendar can also be purchased at the shelter (on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and these fine merchants: Mutts, etc.; The UPS Store; Red Zinnia; The Family Pet Connection; and Flower Tree Nursery.
This week's article was contributed by Betty Duncan, a member of the CAPS board of directors.


During a two-week crossing of the alps Daniel shot the pictures for his series "zu Fuß". He perfectly captured the spirit and the impressions that reflect life in those misantrophic areas.
Like all photographs by Daniel Fort this series is also available as a photo print, Alu-Dibond or Acrylglas.
