Wish You Could Say No to Everything? This Might Be the Game for You

If life seems like far too much saying yes and not enough saying no, we might just have found the perfect game for you to blow off a little steam and say no to, well, everything.
Over at Polygon, they've got a pretty concise summary of the game that many people can relate to:
I have a very bad habit: saying yes when I really want to say no. It comes with being an introvert, I think — I often feel like I should want to say yes to social outings, so I do. Then I regret it. A lot of people have this habit, it seems; there are plenty of guides on the internet on how to say no.
Say No! More is not guide to saying no. Instead, it's a challenge and a fantasy — a game by developer Studio Fizbin that lets you say no to anything and everything. In Say No! More, you play as an intern at "a company run by arrogant people," and the word "No" has been banished.
So what does the game look like in practice? Here's the newly released trailer:
Alas, to play Say No! More on Windows, iOS, or the Nintendo Switch, you'll have to wait for the game to drop in 2020.

Apple Second to Ferrari in World's Most Powerful Brand Study
Apple has topped Samsung as the world's most valuable brand – although Ferrari ranked as the world's most powerful brand – Brand Finance announced on Monday.
After a year of ups and downs, with the company's enterprise value skyrocketing from $350 billion to $600 billion, then falling to $400 billion – all this within the 12 months of 2012 – "it was only its sheer size that helped" Apple maintain its lead position over Samsung, its biggest rival, according to the report.
Measuring the company's brand value, Brand Finance found that Apple's brand value is now $87 billion, up from $70 billion. Yet, its brand rating weakened from AAA+ to AAA, with its South Korean rival it catching up, driven by the sales of its high-end Samsung Galaxy S3 – the most pre-ordered smartphone of all time, the Brand Finance press release notes.
Commenting on the findings, Brand Finance CEO David Haigh said: "Brand is one of many intangible assets which drive profitable growth. Technology, contractual, human capital and customer intangibles as well as general goodwill all drive overall corporate value. With revenues in the tens of billions, Apple and Samsung are slugging it out for global brand supremacy and are vying with each other to create strong 'customer love' for their brands. However, there are other brands in the Global 500 that though they may never challenge the brand value giants, are nonetheless extremely powerful and well-loved."
While in the tech world Apple maintains its lead, it can't take the crown of the world's most powerful brand: Ferrari. As Brand Finance points out, a key driver of brand value is revenue, an area where Ferrari can't compete with multi-national brands. Yet, when considering key financial metrics (like net margins, average revenue per customer, marketing and advertising spend, brand affection and loyalty), it turned out the Italian manufacturer outperformed all brands worldwide.

Amazing Photographs of WWII-era Submarine Pens
Apr 27, 2019 Nikola Budanovic, Guest Author

For the construction of the pens in Hamburg (designated as the Elbe I and Elbe II) some 1,700 prisoners were used as forced labor.
While submarines proved to be Kriegmarine's main asset when it came to naval warfare, the air supremacy of the Allies posed a clear threat to U-Boats once they docked harbor. Exposed on the surface and unmanned, these vessels were easy prey for enemy bombers.
Aware of this issue, the Naval Construction Office in Berlin started figuring out a plan in the 1930s on how to protect their most valuable vessels.
With the advancements made in aerial bombardment technology, they knew that the only thing that could truly save them were massive, concrete bunkers made to withstand even the most powerful explosions.
However, the logistics for such a large project were beyond the capacities of the Kriegsmarine.
That's where the notorious Todt Organisation got involved. The Todt Organisation was a state-owned civil and military engineering firm responsible for supplying, overseeing, and executing huge construction projects on behalf of the Reich.

The organization was named after its founder Fritz Todt, Hitler's trustworthy senior official and a prolific engineer. Todt made a name for himself as Inspector General for German Roadways during the construction of the famous "Autobahn."

With the assistance of the Todt Organisation assured, the constructions of submarine pens began, firstly in Helgoland around 1940.
As the number of prisoners rose during the first years of the German war effort, the Todt Organisation had at their disposal what seemed like a limitless workforce.

Soon, submarine pens were constructed on the French coastline along the English channel.

During 1941, in Bordeaux, Brest, La Rochelle, La Pallice, Lorient, and St-Nazaire, building commenced for the construction of heavily fortified bunker ports as they were on the very frontline of the war. This was prior to the Normandy landings of 1944.
Several attempts to erect these gigantic structures were also made in Norway, Bergen, and Trondheim. However, due to extremely bad weather, rough terrain, and a general lack of cooperation from the local population, the construction was never finished.

For that matter, only a few of these pens became fully operational, the most famous of them being the Keroman Submarine Base in Lorient.

This base consisted of three separate bunker pens ― two of which used a highly sophisticated method of hauling the submarines onto land. The Keroman complex was targeted numerous times by the Allies.

Between January and February 1943 alone, 90% of the city of Lorient was destroyed in the bombings while the concrete structures were hardly even damaged.

Your company needs fresh blood to fill some roles and you're in charge. As a hiring manager, it's your responsibility to find the best talent out there and bring it in. Remember, you'll have to live with your decisions once you've hired the person who is going to sit next to you!
No matter how the new employees turn out to be (great hits or misfits), you should take the hiring process seriously. Here are 5 important things you need to know about the hiring process.
Have a clear understanding of the positions you're filling – The required skills, experience and knowledge in the related field are crucial while searching for the right fit for your organization.
The most talented of recent graduates are digital natives. They live their lives on smartphones. The Pew Research Center in its 2015 survey found that 28% of all Americans had used their phones to find a job.
Tapping into the pool of brilliant minds that graduate from reputed institutes can help you save time. You can tie up with colleges and universities to ensure that you have access to a steady stream of quality candidates.
You can also save a lot of time and effort that goes into the hiring process by seeking referrals from your alumni network. Recruits hired through alumni networks cost 50% less to hire and are 40% more productive in the first 3 months of work than others.
Be approachable. Make sure your website, contact details, email ID, twitter handle etc. are working.
If applications have to be sent by mail, make sure you've got the address right. If applications are to be sent through the company website or by email, make sure the process works.
Set objective guidelines to evaluate applications and stick to them.
Decide on must-have qualities and also decide "preferred" skills that an ideal candidate must have. There might be some aspects such as a particular technical skill or knowledge of a language that your organization absolutely needs. Make a list of those must-have ingredients.
At the same time, make a list of all the extra qualities that you would prefer in a hire. This will help you keep a broad mind about hiring different types of personalities while making sure that they meet all your necessary requirements.
After you've gone through the applications and chosen the ones that fit the requirements, select the best, commensurate with the number of positions available. For instance, you might decide to invite four or five candidates to the interview for one position.
The decision on the number of candidates to be invited is yours. Invite keeping in mind potential turnout, accounting for absentees and also, future hiring needs.
Intimate those selected for an interview through appropriate channels, depending on your company policy (through email, mail or phone calls). Set an appropriate date and time for the interview and clearly convey the same. Also, don't forget to intimate those who haven't been selected with a word of encouragement.
Send feedback to candidates who request it.
The interview is equally important for both the parties involved. The candidate and you–the hiring manager. Prepare for the interview beforehand – determine what questions you'd ask with the requirements in mind and rehearse for the interview.
Give the candidate a chance to describe their interests, abilities, and expertise. Their responses will help you gauge their level of confidence, ease of expressing themselves and presence of mind during stressful situations.
Frame questions in a way that you get a relevant and useful answer. Some negative questions such as , what is the one thing we won't like in you once you're hired, might get you a defensive or a fake answer that doesn't really help you understand the candidate's potential. Find out how driven and passionate the candidate is about her/his work. Ask about positive experiences in the previous organizations! Remember, do not be judgmental. A diverse workforce is going to end up helping your organization grow.
While it's important that the candidate fits in with your company's values, don't be too rigid about opinions/perspectives. The diversity in opinion/perspectives is equally important in finding solutions to problems and ensuring your company's success.
Sometimes, a candidate is not a good fit for the organization for several reasons. Make sure that you are open and honest with those who are rejected.
Job seekers are hungry for constructive criticism. As a hiring manager, you have expertise that you can share with them. Perhaps, thanks to you, they might even ace the next interview of their lives!
If you've decided on your candidates of choice, there's one final test that you can give them. Just place a casual call about a few questions or details that you had missed out during the interview.
This will give you a glimpse of how they are over the phone, in their day-to-day busy lives. You may catch them off-guard, which should give you a rare insight into how they are as a person.
Once selected, introduce your picks to support forums at your workplace and make sure they feel accepted. This is essential to reduce attrition rates, preempt internal squabbles, boost performance and make the workplace enjoyable for everyone.
Finally, if you are a hiring manager looking to find talent for your company, try out online job portals like iimjobs.com in addition to print media advertisements to reach a much larger audience of active and qualified job seekers. Besides, online job portals are much more cost efficient than print media ads.

SuperBASIC is the BASIC programming language devised for the Sinclair QL. It was written by Jan Jones and was based on the original Sinclair ZX BASIC written for the ZX80, ZX81 and ZX Spectrum home computers.
SuperBASIC has lots of very useful features, including easily controlled loops, procedures and functions and the ability to easily add further functionality through machine code procedures and functions.
The Minerva Replacement ROM for the Sinclair QL permits users to run multiple copies of SuperBASIC at the same time (multitasking). This feature has also been replicated and enhanced in the SMSQe Replacement Operating System.
There are many guides to programming in SuperBASIC, with probably the most comprehensive guides being the SBASICSuperBASIC Reference Manual by RWAP Software and QL SuperBASIC The Definitive Handbook by Jan Jones.


Herzberg stated that the term 'patient' implies that people are sick. She also argued that using the 'patient' term removed autonomy, limited participation, and restricted our roles in mental health and wellness. She made that claim in 1990, and I would argue that nearly 25 years later of client-based ethics that our roles and functions within mental health and wellness arenas have not really done so well. She also stated that although 'client' implies an economic-legalistic relationship, it does not preclude a medico-ethical relationship. In other words, we would not stop 'caring' for people just because we call them clients.
There is strong evidence that she was incorrect.
It did not take long to tumble down the hill. In 2003 Townsend, Langille, and Ripley wrote an article stating that a more effective methodology for solving client problems would be to focus on the tensions of the systems that the clients are in. They stated, "Given the drive by people with disabilities to become more empowered in their everyday lives, does it make sense for occupational therapy to work for institutional change or to abandon client-centered practice as too idealistic and too unrealistic in the real world?"
The argument FOR the 'client' term originally revolved around concerns of 'medical paternalism' and now those who support the 'client' term are stating that being client-centered MEANS taking some paternalistic stance about identifying and advocating for needs. This is a stunning juxtaposition. It only took 25 years, but now we have some academic occupational therapists providing full-throated support for the idea that we do not care for patients, but that we represent clients and their needs, and we do so using a model that acknowledges that they don't always know what is best.
This very brief syllabus and reference list documents the wellspring of ideas that informs the context of debates related to advocacy, politics, and the proper scope of occupational therapy as an allied health care profession. It is true that some academic occupational therapists (and psychologists) are re-conceptualizing our expression of Core Values.
I believe that whether or not these ideas represent the mainstream of actual practice and the values that practitioners hold remains an open question.

Ruth Gruener was a hidden child during the Holocaust. At the end of the war, she and her parents were grateful to be free. But their struggles as displaced people had just begun.
In war-ravaged Europe, they waited for paperwork for a chance to come to America. Once they arrived in Brooklyn, they began to build a new life, but spoke little English. Ruth started at a new school and tried to make friends, but she continued to fight nightmares and flashbacks of her time during World War II.
The family's perseverance is a classic story of the American dream, but it also illustrates the difficulties that millions of immigrants face in the aftermath of trauma.

Hvad er årsagen til Crypto frasalg & Hvornår vil det ende?
That ongoing sideways ranging market has finally ended a few hours ago when a flash crash wiped $15 billion out of crypto in a couple of hours. The markets have slid over 6% over the past day and the bears are selling with a fury. Currently at a total capitalization of $324 billion markets have fallen fast from yesterday's level of $345 milliard.
Bitcoin led the downward charge when it shed $300 in just over an hour starting at 06.45 UTC. It has lost 4.5% on the day and is currently trading at $7,330. Volume has remained a steady $4.2 billion and market cap for BTC is currently $125 milliard, ned $6 billion from the same time yesterday.
In an opposite correlation to last year, all cryptos are tied together so when the big one falls they all do, but harder. Ethereum mirrored the movements of BTC and slid 5%, dropping $25 in a couple of hours. ETH price has been floating between $580 og $620 for over a week now but that has broken down as it dropped to a new weekly low of $575 at the time of writing.
Ripple in third spot fell 5.2% in the same short period falling from $0.67 til $0.61 as almost $1.5 billion was removed from Ripple's market cap. Its satoshi levels did the opposite for a while and jumped as Bitcoin commanded the selloff but these have now fallen back in line and XRP is trading at around 8750 satoshis.
The biggest fall in the top ten cryptocurrencies has been Iota which has lost almost 12% on the day sliding from $1.74 til $1.53. $600 million was wiped out from Iota's market cap as it fell from $4.8 milliarder til $4.2 billion in a few hours. Also taking big hits at the moment is Bitcoin Cash down 7.8%, EOS down almost 9%, Cardano down almost 8%, Ontology losing over 10%, OmiseGO with 9% lost, and Icon Zilliqa and Aeternity all falling over 9% on the day.
Between 2.3 og 3.7 million bitcoin are lost, reducing market capitalisation by between 13% og 22%. Market capitalisation could be reduced by a further 35% if illiquid investor holdings are removed from the cap.
Bitcoin's money supply is likely to be more liquid than other cryptos. For eksempel, 90% of bitcoin cash, a fork of bitcoin designed to facilitate higher levels of transactions, is held for investment, sammenlignet med 50% of bitcoin.
Imidlertid, there's at least one other factor at play. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEK) — along with securities regulators in other countries — have begun targeted investigations into initial coin offerings (ICOs), one of the primary types of assets these funds hold.
Mesmerized by stories of 25,000 percent single year-returns, traders quit well-paying jobs in finance en masse to seek their fortune in cryptoassets. More than 165 cryptocurrency hedge funds opened in 2017 alone, op fra 19 the year prior.
While Newton Advisors, det 100+ Crypto hedge funds that have opened this year and just about everyone you ask says sky's the limit for Bitcoin, other experts have a different opinion.
The latest correction took place between December 17, 2017 and February 6, 2018, eller 48 dage, in which 70% of Bitcoin value was lost. Imidlertid, if you look at the period between April 10, 2013 and April 12, 2013, Bitcoin lost an astounding 83% of its value over a three-day period. Talk about a panic!
samlet set, the latest correction in the price of Bitcoin is nothing out of the ordinary. History shows that the top cryptocurrency has sustained much more rapid losses during a shorter period of time over the course of the past several years, yet it has not discouraged long-term investors.
Regulatory crackdown fears seem to be main source of the latest crash, but the recent cryptocurrency regulatory hearing before the US. Senate struck a much brighter tone than crypto traders had anticipated.
This shows that fears of regulators attempting to shut down the cryptocurrency market are overblown. Til sidst, cryptocurrency is still a very relatively new concept that will have its highs and lows, but its resilience in the face of uncertainty has been nothing short of incredible.
More specifically, we can categorise the money supply into monetary aggregates known as M0, the most liquid category, through to M3, the least liquid. Our mapping of these monetary aggregates to bitcoin is presented in the table below. Technically, monetary aggregates contain the preceding aggregates, so M2 contains the categories M0 and M1 as well as additional, less liquid money. Imidlertid, in the table below, and throughout, we refer to the M category as just containing the specific type of user described, to avoid confusion.
As of April 2018, of the 21 million bitcoin that will ever exist, rundt om 4 million are currently unmined, i det mindste 2.3 million are lost, 7.4 million are held as long term investments – of which a further 1.5 million could be lost, 2.2 million are held for transactions by services, such as exchanges, og 5.1 million are held for speculation.
Since September 2015, the majority of bitcoin has been held for investment, as shown in the chart below. Imidlertid, this has declined in the last year, fra 72% of available bitcoin in April 2017 til 50% in April 2018. På samme tid, there has been an increase in bitcoin held for speculation, fra 14% of available bitcoin in April 2017 til 35% in April 2018. This suggests that investors have cashed out some of their holdings. These bitcoin are now in the hands of new users who use their bitcoin to speculate or make personal transactions, rather than hold their bitcoin as a longer term investment.
Not all of these investment wallets are active. An inactive investment wallet is one where all the bitcoin were collected before 2016 and the wallet has not spent any bitcoin since then. These inactive wallets are likely to be lost, and they contain 1.5 million bitcoin, distributed mainly in large wallets of between 100 og 10,000 Bitcoin. Our methodology for estimating lost bitcoin can be found at the end.
We find that when the money supply, M, includes investment, transactional and speculative coins, the velocity, V was 8.7 i 2016, and has been stable over time, as shown by the orange line in the chart below. This is close to Chris Burniske's estimate that in 2016 the velocity of bitcoin was 6.5. Imidlertid, if investment coins are excluded from M, which is reasonable as investment coins are not used to make transactions, then the velocity of bitcoin has been 26.4 on average over 2016 og 2017, as shown by the dark blue line.
desuden, the velocity of bitcoin, across both definitions of money supply, has been slowing since January 2018. The average velocity from January to April 2018 has fallen to 8.5 on a money supply of transactional and speculative coins only and 4.4 on a money supply of all available bitcoin. This decline in velocity in 2018 so far is due to an increase in short term speculators and a decline in transaction volumes. Either economic activity in bitcoin will pick up, if new use cases develop or new users enter – perhaps induced by a price fall, or these new speculators will inadvertently become HODLers.
Central banks use monetary aggregates to inform monetary policy. The crypto equivalent of monetary policy is protocol design. For eksempel, bitcoin cash has larger blocks to support higher levels of transactions than bitcoin.
desuden, the transactional bitcoin cash held by services has declined, fra 15% i november 2017 til 7% in April 2018. This is likely due to exchanges starting to list bitcoin cash, allowing individuals to sell off their bitcoin cash. This bitcoin cash has ended up being held by investors, rather than by people using bitcoin cash for speculation or transactions. As shown by the charts below, which compare the bitcoin cash money supply with the bitcoin money supply since the fork, this is in contrast to bitcoin, which is increasingly held by speculators.
Bitcoin can be lost if the private keys to wallets are lost. Anecdotally, we know this occurs. Imidlertid, a systematic understanding of lost bitcoin requires assumptions and estimation. This is because people do not always announce they have lost their keys and such declarations may not always be honest. So to estimate lost bitcoin, we rely on observing how old the bitcoin in a wallet are and how long it has been since the wallet spent bitcoin. We then make assumptions that inactivity for a period of time suggests the wallet is lost. For eksempel, we assume wallets that contain bitcoin with an average age prior to 2014 and that have not spent any bitcoin since the start of 2014 are lost.
In November 2017, Chainalysis provided the first systematic estimation of lost bitcoin. That analysis relied on finding the age of Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs) and assuming that old UTXOs were lost. Siden da, we have calculated the age of clusters, our approximation of a single entity's wallet. This provides a more accurate estimate of lost bitcoin. Wallets contain UTXOs, and some UTXOs could be old and some young, or recently spent. Our previous analysis would have classified the old UTXOs in a wallet as lost, even though they belonged to an active wallet, that is a wallet with young or recently spent UTXOs. Our November 2017 analysis estimated that between 2.8 millioner og 3.8 million bitcoin are lost. Due to our new, more accurate, methodology of estimating lost bitcoin, based on wallets rather than UTXOs, we now estimate that between 2.3 millioner og 3.7 million bitcoin are lost.

If you follow me on social media you will already have seen me teasing you with delectable chocolate-themed clips for two weeks now. (If you missed it then head this way! )Well, I can finally announce that I wrote a cookbook and it's all about my favourite ingredient in the world, Chocolate!
My book is filled with over 90 brand new recipes that are dipped, drizzled, stuffed, rolled and coated in all forms of chocolate. From white, milk and dark to cocoa nibs, cocoa powder and even cocoa butter! The recipes are divided into 7 chapters, each dedicated to the kinds of cravings I have for chocolate; speedy, naughty, fancy, crunchy etc. In classic The Kate Tin style, there are recipes that are so easy that your kids can make them, others that will take a little effort and some that will challenge you but will be oh-so-worth the wow factor!
Every single page of this book will make you drool and that's largely thanks to the stunning photography of my fellow food blogging sensation Hein van Tonder of Heinstirred who went above and beyond to capture every calorie.
You can find my cookbook in all major bookstores from the 15 November but if you're an eager beaver and cannot wait, you can pre-order it over on Loot.co.za here.
Congratulations. Can't wait to see it.
Can't wait to see you at the Dessert Expo. Incidentally your "Notes" section is the most comprehensive and easy to follow I have ever seen on the internet, not least because it is specific to Cape Town specifically.
Ah, thank you so much Amanda! So glad you found it useful!

The Night of the Clones Video
"The first time I really felt super-powered in City of Heroes was when I stumbled into a Rikti invasion with my level eight scrapper.
I'd been cautiously fighting groups of two or three enemies, unable to defeat stronger ones. Suddenly, I was on an eight-man team surrounded by forty other players, moving across the battlefield like an unstoppable demigod. Of course, looking back my success was fueled by dozens of buffs from the many other heroes in the event. But the excitement of joining a big raid and taking down alien bosses even at a low experience level never left me."
-Consultant, CEO of Heroic Games
It has been about eight months since we released our network test video, and we think we've made a lot of progress in optimizing the game since Remember the Torch. In Remember, we showed about 14 characters logged in from multiple locations. This time we've logged in over 100 characters!
As far as we know, no other development team is using UE4 to show 100 highly-customized characters like ours in regular gameplay where the characters can see each other and interact. Some famous and popular MMOFPSs like PlayerUnknown's Battleground and Fortnite have 100-player battles. But the nature of PVP is such that one rarely sees a large number of other players simultaneously during gameplay.
We do not yet know precisely what number of players we can enable in raid situations, where all of the players will be closely-packed, using their powers and fighting enemies who are also using powers. But this test result suggests that we can enable the kind of large raids that many MMORPGs simply cannot do. And in Ship of Heroes, large raids are NOT just end-game content; they will be open to players at every level of progression. We already have a Nagdellian invasion in the planning stages that will be open to all players, from newbies all the way to those at the level cap. There will be no waiting for the end-game, or tedious grinding to get the minimum gear to participate, or being restricted to a specific team composition to win. This ideal is an essential part of the friendly, upbeat player experience we are creating.
This video also gives you, our community, real and tangible information about how we are doing with the networking side of Ship of Heroes. You can see the actual FPS numbers from a test computer, and how they vary as the test proceeds. We're demonstrating the results of quite a bit of coding and art development over the last year to get here. The code and the art are intertwined – some improvements make the game look much better, while other changes allow it to run efficiently despite the rising complexity.
We decided to measure FPS because that is the metric that best reflects the player experience. Does the game lag, or not, when a lot of players are in a real area in the persistent world? Not in a barren test map, not in the Editor, but in the real game. And you can see that we have made considerable progress.
The Night of the Clones is a big raid test video revealing our progress towards a unique style of gameplay only available in Ship of Heroes. This video combines our October and November milestones for network and stress tests. We've shown 100 copies (clones) of a real, fully-customized character, made in our own character creator with our own art assets. The clones are in motion, in-game (not in the editor), in a mission map we built and showed off last July, and our servers are currently contracted from AWS. We've come a long way since our last video with a large number of characters, Remember the Torch. Back then, even a dozen characters generated some lag – and they were mostly standing still!
For this test, four developers in separate locations in the US and Europe logged in as players, and recorded their FPS numbers. We coded over 100 individual accounts with separate copies (clones) of Sword Blossom, and brought the clones into the test environment like a player would when logging in. In addition, we logged the clones in from different server locations across the US to more closely mimic real-life playing conditions.
The first stress test component of this video comes in when we increase the number of clones to 100, 200, and then 300. While there is some clumping of the many Sword Blossom clones as they walk around, there is no significant degradation in the animations or gameplay, other than a small amount of skipping.
The second stress test component of this video is having 100 Sword Blossom clones simultaneously fire a power (Darkness Ray, from the Dark Magic powerset) at a large mech monster. Darkness Ray spawns particles and also has a beam component, so it is a mid-level power in terms of bandwidth requirements; Sword Blossom's own powers are less graphically intensive, and therefore not suited to a stress test. While FPS dropped into the 20s in this situation, we are pretty pleased with the outcome, and with the engine data we recorded during the test. This data is helping to guide us as we make a series of improvements for our next few stress tests.
While recording the video, all four computers used a 1920×1080 screen resolution. It is possible to trade off screen resolution for more frames-per-second, and this will likely be an option in real gameplay, but we did not need to do so during our test. In addition, shadows are turned on, and no mechanisms are active which would limit usage of the CPU or GPU, so this test reflects what some games refer to as "ultimate" graphics settings.
Character animations in Unreal Engine 4 have their own data channel, so we wanted to ensure that we were testing this element of networking as well. All of the clones move, stop, and re-start according to our programmed instructions.
For this sequence of tests, the computer used to record the video is a desktop machine with an NVIDIA GTX980 graphics card. We have set a target level of 30 frames per second (FPS) for the game, and the recording desktop easily achieved the goal. Of the other three computers we included in the test, two had higher FPS values, and only one had lower values.
By the end of the year, we still plan to show at least one more video with a new powerset, and also a video of the upgrades made to the Warehouse district of Apotheosis City. We'll also be conducting some small scale escorted alpha tours to begin testing our combat system with a few members of our community.


For the thousands of people suffering from chronic heel pain often caused by plantar fasciitis, a non-invasive treatment is now available that produces exciting results. This treatment is called Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT).
Many people suffering from heel pain mistakenly think they have a heel spur. More than likely, the cause is plantar fasciitis. Left untreated, heel spurs can be a result of plantar fasciitis. The most painful areas affected by plantar fasciitis are usually the center of your heel, and the inside bottom area of your foot where the heel and arch meet. Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation or irritation of the plantar fascia muscle, where the ligament stretches along the bottom of the foot and maintains the arch.
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) relieves plantar fasciitis pain by using unique acoustic pressure waves that are sent through the foot with a special applicator. Waves reaching the foot stimulates cell metabolism, increases nutrient delivery, and enhances blood flow by causing new blood vessel formation. This process greatly accelerates healing of the inflamed plantar fascia muscle.
All EPAT treatments are non-invasive. While the obvious benefit of EPAT is pain relief, there's also the benefit of being able to have treatment without any downtime or medications. Treatments are quick and effective.
Triad Foot Center offers EPAT therapy as well as treatments for all your foot and ankle needs. If you are suffering with heel pain, we recommend you visit us for an exam. We'll be able to carefully evaluate your condition and determine if EPAT therapy is right for you. Schedule an appointment today!

Rian Johnson's Looper: Score Preview Featurette with Composer Nathan Johnson

Looper is a time-travel action thriller from Director Rian Johnson (Brick, The Brothers Bloom) that will be released in theatres on September 28, 2012. One of the most important components of a film is the use of the Score to provide cues to the audience, heighten the action on screen, or set the overall tone of the picture. Many scores go unoticed while watching a movie, while others are unforgettable. An inside look featurette with Composer Nathan Johnson shows how Looper's score is a key element to the film as a whole.

About Looper:
In the futuristic action thriller Looper, time travel will be invented – but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past, where a "looper" – a hired gun, like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good… until the day the mob decides to "close the loop," sending back Joe's future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination. The film is written and directed by Rian Johnson and also stars Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, and Jeff Daniels. Ram Bergman and James D. Stern produce.

Brandon Harris started to design a dashboard to surface and sort data from MoodBar comments. It could become a help center where experienced users can easily answer questions and concerns from new users.
Brandon Harris expanded the scope of this dashboard to support different sources, and updated the design. Roan Kattouw started to implement the feature, aided by Trevor Parscal for the HTML and CSS part.
Dario Taraborelli uploaded several dashboards to the toolserver displaying real-time moodbar metrics.
Dario Taraborelli updated the research page dedicated to MoodBar to include responses. Benny Situ fixed bugs, and implemented and deployed the feedback response API. Rob Moen deployed in-line reply functionality, giving experienced editors the ability to respond to MoodBar feedback while staying on the dashboard, as well as bug fixes and admin action enhancements.
Rob Moen added support for wikitext in responses, preview of changes, handling of blocked users, and fixed various bugs. Benny Situ worked on feedback response, notifications and HTML e-mails. Dario Taraborelli developed two sets of charts to visualize data from the FeedbackDashboard and response notification.
We implemented a leaderboard of recent top responders on the feedback dashboard. New editor feedback is now added to a dedicated log. When feedback is marked as helpful, that fact is displayed on the feedback dashboard itself. Other than a few other smaller changes, we're now moving the project into maintenance mode to focus on article creation workflow and New Page Triage.

Mexicans from all regions of the country and all walks of life gathered today at a national forum on how best to deal with the endless cycle of drug violence which is racking the nation. The so-called Dialog for Peace was held in Mexico City's historic Chapultepec Castle. President Felipe Calderón, accompanied by his wife, presided over the often emotional gathering, accompanied by various government officials and cabinet members.
constitution by using military forces to suppress domestic crime. Calderón denied both charges. One speaker told the president that he owed an apology to Los Zetas, generally regarded as the most violent and brutal of Mexico's cartels. "That I will never do," responded Calderón.
Mexican poet and peace activist Javier Sicilia, whose son was murdered in May, accused Calderón of actively fostering the popular belief that vigilante or paramilitary squads – such as Los Matazetas – would assist the government in its ongoing war against the cartels. "There are no paramilitaries in Mexico," said the president.
The president denied that Mexico has taken on an "authoritarian face" by aggressively going after the cartels. "I, too, favor an integrated approach" to the problem of crime, he said, in reference to the demands of many speakers for more focused attention on economic and social issues which promote drug trafficking.
Earlier this week a group of Mexican attorneys and others submitted a complaint to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, asking that Calderón and other Mexican government and military leaders be indicted for acts amounting to war crimes. An initial hearing in that case is scheduled for November 25.
Today's Dialog for Peace began at 9:00 a.m. and ended at 3:30 p.m.

SFPD Arrests (Possibly Drunk) Driver Who Screwed Up This Morning's Commute
by Eve Batey | January 19, 2012 11:09 am	| in News | 0
Want to know who to blame for this morning's terrible Muni commute? It's fun to blame the SFMTA, but according to SFPD, it's a 40-year-old Sebastapol resident who screwed up your ride today.
Underground San Francisco Municipal Railway service was halted early this morning by Scott Mitchell, a 40-year-old man from Sebastapol who drove into the tunnel near Church and Duboce streets and got stuck, SFPD said this morning.
The Ex reports that Muni supervisor Tyonne Julian says that Mitchell was going about 40 miles an hour when he "actually swerved around a train heading inbound into the tunnel" at 5:56 this morning. He made it about half-a-mile into the tunnel before getting stuck.
"The car is cleared off of the tracks, but it will remain in the subway throughout service the rest of the day," Muni spokesman Paul Rose said.
He said the car would be removed once service ends tonight.
Normal Muni service resumed at 8:18 a.m., Rose said.
During the disruption, street-level shuttles were used to transport Muni passengers instead of the underground light rail.
Service is a little slow, however, because the car damaged a switch on the tracks, and trains have to pass over it at reduced speeds, he said. Muni workers will have to wait until tonight to make repairs to the damaged switch.
According to SFPD spokesperson Officer Albie Esparza, Mitchell was arrested and charged with suspicion of DUI, driving on train tracks, and failure to obey a traffic sign. Mitchell, says Esparza, was not injured in the incident.

Q: Multiple Apple devices under one Apple ID - iMessage issues We have three iPhones and an iPad all assigned to one Apple ID. Anytime I try to iMessage my mum on her phone (from my iPhone), it appears on my brother's iPhone. Then, when he replies (thinking the iMessage was to him), I receive the iMessage which is addressed from my mum - despite it being sent from his phone. I've deleted the Apple ID from received iMessages to see if that would fix it, but it has failed to give the desired outcome.
How do I need to configure iMessage on the iPhones so that each person is their own "entity" and prevent "crossing wires"?

A: iMessage isn't designed to work with just one Apple ID. Instead of having all the iPhones and iPad on one Apple ID, it will be necessary to set up additional Apple IDs for the different users.
When you setup an iOS device and put in your Apple ID, it provisions ALL such services to that Apple ID. Go into Settings on each device (under Messages and FaceTime) and remove the Apple ID. Replace the Apple ID with a new Apple ID unique to each user. Here is a guide on creating new iCloud accounts for this purpose.
Better yet, provision each account completely with its own Apple ID. If a person wants to download an already-purchased app or song from a different account, you can temporarily change accounts in iTunes or App Store.

A: Actually, you can quite associate one Apple ID across all of your devices but tailor settings so that each device only receives iMessages at one address.
Here's how!
http://www.cultofmac.com/220986/mastering-imessage-on-your-iphone-manage-multiple-devices-ios-tips/

A: It's really easy you go into your settings and assen each phone the right number and only that number in imessageing and that will fix the problem but all the apple device have to be changed or it will keep happening

This gentle tale about mortality works in subliminal ways. When an old man is visited by Death at his home in the meadows, he has to delve deep to secure more time for himself. Does he have the strength to find the answers he needs? Can we negotiate our time on earth? How do we reconcile our mortal fate? A lyrical look at a reality as old as humanity, yet as young as today. Based on a story by Richard Kennedy.
Thank you, Belinda, for this beautiful and atmospheric movie. I have read the story by Richard Kennedy and love it (like all his stories, especially Amy's Eyes), and would not have believed someone could make a film of it - and NOT spoil it. But you did, congratulations. At first I was first doubting the last scene was equally felicitous or valid as the other 99% of the film - you know, when Death turns into black birds (which is not part of the original story and gives him kind of an evil appearance, though he is just doing his job) but after some consideration, I believe now, it is. For a movie is a movie (is a movie...) - and a book is a book. You found a visual metaphor for the defeat of Death. And although he is, and has to be, kind towards the old man, his ambiguity is present also in the written story. Once again: Congratulations!

LPL's Kleintop: Market Structure Fears Behind 'Buyers Strike'
By Danielle Andrus | October 19, 2010 at 01:49 PM
U.S. stocks are up 15% in the last three and a half months, according to Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial, but individual investors are doing more selling than buying.
U.S. stocks are up 15% in the last three and a half months, according to Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial, but individual investors are doing more selling than buying. In an Oct. 18 commentary on the state of the market he said investors are on a "buyers strike." Kleintop cites Investment Company Institute data that show in the last 25 years there has never been a three-month gain in the S&P 500 of 10% or more that wasn't accompanied by inflows into equity funds or ETFs.
It's not stocks that investors are afraid of, though. Kleintop writes that investors haven't abandoned foreign stocks or U.S. bonds, including emerging market stocks and high-yield bonds. He theorizes that the distrust may be of the market itself.
"While individuals may have overcome to some degree their distrust of the durability of the economic recovery and policymakers in Washington, they remain distrustful of the integrity of the U.S. stock market," he writes, citing the flash crash of early May, which has led to a loss of $53 billion from domestic equity mutual funds, as an example. That crash was triggered when a mutual fund company used an automated computer sell program with "no regard for price or timing" to sell S&P 500 futures.
The Securities and Exchange Commission admitted that under "stressed market conditions," extreme price movements like those seen in the flash crash could happen again.
Part of the problem, according to Kleintop, is that most volume trades take place electronically, off the NYSE and NASDAQ. That, along with millisecond trading, unbalanced transparency, and electronic trading strategies that "damage market integrity through the almost instantaneous creation and cancellation of millions of orders," has strained the stock market.
"It would be unfortunate if this record-breaking buyers strike by individual investors is a precursor to a permanent boycott by individuals from investing in U.S. stocks," Kleintop laments. He acknowledged that the intra-day breakdowns in liquidity are challenges to investors, but said they've had "little to no effect on investing through mutual funds and ETFs for a time horizon that exceeds a single day." Furthermore, future gains will be hard to come by if individual investors don't return to the stock market.

Q: C#: System.ComponentModel.Design does not contain ArrayEditor I'm working on making a complex object designer compliant and was going to utilize the ArrayEditor component...

A: It's in the System.ComponentModel.Design namespace of the System.Design dll.

A: Hmm. Bit more googling resolved the matter.

DU's Griggs, former Fort Collins resident Liringis, Lyons' Wonnacott and Laramie's Murdock advance at Collindale to U.S. Open Sectionals
The weather was none too pleasant Tuesday at Collindale Golf Course in Fort Collins — temperatures in the 40s and drizzly much of the morning and early afternoon — but that didn't keep the competition from heating up in the first of three U.S. Open Local Qualifiers that will be held in Colorado this spring.
After the first half of the 74-man field didn't produce any scores better than 1-over-par 72, four players overcame the conditions to break par and advance to the second stage of the two-stage U.S. Open qualifying process.
Matthew Liringis of Chandler, Ariz., who grew up a couple of miles away from Collindale and called the course his first golf home, and University of Denver freshman golfer Carson Griggs from Sand Springs, Okla., shared medalist honors at 2-under-par 69. Joining them in punching their tickets to 36-hole Sectional Qualifying were Dylan Wonnacott of Lyons and former University of Wyoming golfer John Murdock, who both recorded 70s.
(The four Sectional qualifiers are pictured above, from left: Griggs, Liringis, Wonnacott and Murdock.)
For the 19-year-old Griggs, tying for medalist honors was quite an accomplishment as he had never played Collindale before teeing it up on Tuesday.
"I was going to come play a practice round on Sunday with my teammate, but we had to bail on that because of some studying stuff for tests," he said following his four-birdie, two-bogey round. "Today I just tried to take one step at a time and not think too much about it. Just play smart off the tee and keep it in the fairway, then find the centers of the greens. That's the easiest way for me to keep scores low.
"And with range finders being prohibited (in this event), that was different for me as well. Stepping off yardages helped me focus more and get my numbers dialed in with irons and wedges. Coming into a course I hadn't see yet, I had to focus really hard on what I was doing. That really helped.
"Now I have an opportunity to (potentially) go play in a U.S. Open. For most people, that's something you dream of. Making the Sectionals is the best feeling of my life."
Michael Schoolcraft of Denver, who has Monday qualified for two PGA Tour events in recent years, was 3 under par through 14 holes on Tuesday, but double bogeyed his 15th hole and bogeyed his 18th to shoot 71 and was relegated to the first-alternate position. Colorado State University golfer Davis Bryant, who went to Sectionals last year, won a four-man playoff with a birdie on the fourth extra hole to land the second alternate spot.
Liringis will be going to Sectional Qualifying for the third time and Murdock his second in a row. It will be the first trip to Sectionals for Wonnacott and Griggs; in fact, the DU golfer is competing in U.S. Open qualifying for the first time.
Each time Liringis has advanced to Sectionals — 2015, '16 and '19 — he's done so thanks to his performance at his stomping grounds of Collindale, a place he estimated he's played 75-100 times in his life. This is the second time in the last four Local Qualifying attempt in which he's been the co-medalist at Collindale.
"This is where I first picked up a club," the 23-year-old said. "I started playing golf when I was 8 years old here. The level of comfort, knowing the course, how the bounces are, the good spots, the bad spots … It's home for me. This is my course and I love it.
"Today was a very pleasing round. I left a few out there on the greens, but my ball-striking was absolutely on point."
On Tuesday, Liringis' scorecard looked remarkably steady. He eagled his first hole and had a birdie, a bogey and 15 pars the rest of the way.
Meanwhile, Wonnacott came on strong to earn his berth into Sectionals. He was 2 over par through 11 holes, but played his final seven in 3 under. For the day, he chipped in twice for birdies on par-3s — from 20 feet and 30 feet.
"I just had some things going my way," the 24-year old said.
"I play golf for fun, so it'll just be blast" to go to Sectionals. "I love the game — I love everything about it. I work and I don't play golf for a living or anything like that. Just to make it to places where I can play at a high level is all I'm looking for."
Though Murdock has lived his entire life in Laramie, he's no stranger to Collindale as he made numerous trips south to a course known for having pure greens. And the iffy weather on Tuesday didn't seem to faze him as he posted five birdies to go with four bogeys.
"I think it was all about your attitude today, for sure," the 22-year-old said. (Advancing to Sectionals) means a lot for sure. I just graduated and turned pro. It feels like my game is trending in the right direction, so I'm excited."
Past U.S. Open qualifiers Nick Mason (left) and Derek Tolan were paired together Tuesday and both shot 72.
Among those falling short in the four-man, second-alternate playoff on Tuesday were two past U.S. Open contestants — Derek Tolan of Highlands Ranch (2002) and Nick Mason of Parker (2014) — who were paired together on Tuesday and both shot 1-over 72.
Nine U.S. sites will host Sectionals, in addition to three other sites around the world. The Sectional Qualifying in America will take place primarily on June 3, with one in Dallas on May 20. The U.S. Open itself is set for Pebble Beach Golf Links on the Monterey Peninsula in California June 13-16.
(Updated May 8) The remaining U.S. Open Local Qualifying tournaments in Colorado will both be held on Monday: at CommonGround Golf Course in Aurora and at Walnut Creek Golf Preserve in Westminster. The CommonGround qualifier was originally scheduled for Thursday, but was postponed due to a forecast of snow. The top five finishers each from CommonGround and Walnut Creek will advance to Sectional Qualifying.
The USGA, which conducts the U.S. Open, accepted 9,125 entries overall for this year's U.S. Open.
