Trailer was bad, but the gameplay looks like it might actually be pretty okay.
Not buying though just because lol 3DS and lol Boom.

Looks like a trailer for a game aimed at kids that ties into a cartoon, so I'm not really going to judge the game by it. Echoing hope that we'll get a better idea from gameplay footage at E3.
Eh. Member
Let's see...
Still a bunch of annoying collectables...
Still the dumb shit like the submarine and other vehicles...
Still worm running auto runner sections...
Still Rival Battles with automatic as hell looking spring and boost pad set ups...
Generic looking bosses with giant 'fuck me' arrows...
...Where's the improvement aspect of this suppose to be again? E3 better deliver because I'm not seeing a damn thing different here.

What upset me the most is that while Aaron made fun of the Mighty no.9 last trailer, this one barely show 25 seconds of gameplay with a lot of CG cutscenes intersections, that's not exactly daring and smart!
Videos don't appear for me on retro (am using chrome) is there a simple fix for this?

Does look like they improved the level design. It's a lot more straightforward now, with there being less of a focus on exploration and more on just platforming.

Wow. It's nothing mind blowing, but it looks like a good bit of fun. Definitely an improvement over the maps from Shattered Crystal. The boss looks like fun as well. Also, it seems like they've left the whisker quills off Sonic's model like in SC, which is kinda cool. Not a huge deal though.
*Results not lab tested. Member
It's certainly got polish. The level design and mechanics still feel, for lack of a better word, by-the-numbers. Platforming, change the water blocks from one state to another, automated speed section, maybe a character-specific block to do something with, repeat. It's all pretty meh. Functional, sure, but not a game I'm itching to get.

Bleh, all it looks like they've done is tweak the player's ground movement to move moderately faster in the context of gameplay. Aerial movement still looks very floaty, and it still has the same problem of Shattered Crystal of having binary sections of automated speed (and that's just a strung-together sequence of dash panels and bounce pads springs...I guess they are still adhering to Dimps' vision of 2D Sonic) and barebones platforming (with the levels being as large as they are are, one would expect to see a lot more than just enerbeam swinging over spiked pits and a few ice platforms to hop / air dash through).
It looks like all of the supposed polish went into the game's graphics a la Sonic 4: Episode II, which are admittedly rather nice to look at. If only the gameplay had gotten as much attention.
Dark Sonic
Working on my art!
Alright so it looks kinda fun. Nice. It kinda makes me think of Sonic rush. Sonic Rush Boom perhaps.
So yea I'll wait and see I guess
That gameplay video is much more relieving.
Guess I'll consider preordering the game.
MartiusR
Out of curiosity - is preorder available only for US and Canada? I've made quick research in the internet, but I've found offers only in american shops (I'm not considering too strongly preorder at this moment, bonus disc with three episodes from TV series is a nice add-on though).
The front page exists, did a write up on Fire and Ice after playing it at E3.
+ - It's not as bad as you might think.

You know, I'm listening to the voice of Eggman in that trailer... And I "think" that might be Akio Ohtsuka? It sounds VERY similar to Akio's performance of Gami Gami Maou in Popolocrois. Kotaro Nakamura voiced him in the recent Mario & Sonic game, but there's a possibility that he only filled in temporary.
Herm the Germ
Hmm, not bad. Well done, doctor! Member

MIDI-to-SMPS-conversions, mostly. Takin' requests, too.
Given the game's delays and stuff, it could well be all the lines that needed voicing have long since been voiced and that this was Chikao Ohtsuka's final Eggman performance? Wouldn't be the first time such a thing happened.
Herm the Germ said:
I highly doubt it. The biggest thing is that since Sonic Heroes, the Japanese voice acting would be recorded later in development (usually fairly late, from my understanding), where the English audio tends to be recorded first. This is probably especially true for the Sonic Boom/Toon games, since those were made specifically the western market (and Localization wasn't considered initially for the first couple games). Also, remember, Chikao Ohtsuka passed away in January of last year. There would've still been a ton of development time left on the game before the massive delay. So it's incredibly unlikely he came back.
Mendinso said:
After watching Sonic X and playing every game since Adventure in both English and Japanese (I played Generations in its multiple languages too; there's just something cool about it to me), I'm pretty confident that isn't Ohtsuka. It's a very good imitation, but there's something just very slightly off about it. I can't really put my finger on it, but maybe it's just a little too "chill," like there's not enough variation in the highs and lows if that makes any damn sense. He nails the last couple lines though, it's almost note for note. The new VA, Kotaro Nakamura, is going to be a great Eggman.

Curiosity won with sanity - I've decided to try Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal on 3DS. Aaand it's not that bad as its reputation would suggest (although it's not 100% exact, since mentioned reputation was rather based on WiiU's version).
Although I've got one big problem with this game - the unfortunate solution with emblems to unlock further levels. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad if additional emblems for "normal" levels would be granted for necessary amount of rings or time of finishing the level, but instead, there is this collecting blueprints and crystal pieces. And on those levels which I've already played I had an impression, that level design is almost intentionally made to not allow you to do more than finishing level and obtaining all blueprints in one attempt (and even this is problematic). I've got no idea how it works - in theory, with upgrade of minimap there are shown locations of crystals and blueprints. And yet - I had only once finished some level for the first time AND collected all stuff from one category.
Other major lack - this completely unnecessary "jumping" between parts of levels. I swear, that in first two levels I had constant impression, that I've took the same part of level again (false, since there was just some similarity of beginning of new "segment"). Lack of feeling the "continuity" of the level is not a good way to make variety during gameplay.
But other than that - I generally like it. The things like turning you back to last point before you fall into the water/goo and damaged your character or lack of possibility to use normal jump to destroy enemy robots is a bit controversial, but nothing I couldn't deal with. It has decent gameplay with jumping, running, destroying enemies and using special abilities (so first three things are quite standard, last one is not so fluent as in, for example, Sonic Heroes, but can't say that it's bothering me too much). I only wish that I could control my character with d-pad instead of this terrible "control stick". Oh, and there is a bit of this retarded humour from Boom Universe (which is always nice). Surprisingly, races with other characters and special levels with worm are giving me even more fun than classic levels (it's a shame though that you can race only with SI). I haven't finished it yet, but basing on what I've played so far (currently I'm finishing "ancient city" zone), it's ok.

Great Plains Communications preps for a 10-gig future with XGS-PON fiber
Regional broadband provider Great Plains Communications is hoping to stay ahead of the rising traffic curve, leveraging a mix of government and internal funding to upgrade and expand its network with 10-gig capable fiber.
The operator is a privately-owned broadband provider, serving enterprise, carrier and residential customers across 11 states in the Midwest with 13,500 miles of fiber. Its residential footprint for internet, voice and video services is primarily concentrated in Indiana and Nebraska, with wholesale fiber for last- and middle-mile access extending further to parts of Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota and Wyoming.
Tony Thakur, the operator's CTO, told Fierce it's in the middle of a wide-ranging fiber upgrade and expansion project which includes a combination of edge outs, greenfield deployments and cable upgrades. Though he did not provide an exact figure, he said its current projects are targeting north of 8,000 locations. He added it's using XGS-PON technology for its builds.

"Fiber is a sure bet," he said. "We are protecting ourselves for the future, so we can add more and more bandwidth. Today, yes, folks are asking for a gig, kind of consumer and small biz, but you know the larger businesses are looking for 10 gig…10 gig is going to become the next 1 gig of the future and fiber is delivering that today."
Thakur noted it is using a combination of federal, state and internal funding to get the work done, with the latter used primarily for strategic expansions in greenfield markets. In terms of federal funding, the operator won nearly $19.2 million in the Federal Communications Commission's Rural Digital Opportunity Fund auction to connect 5,887 locations in California, Nebraska and Oregon.
Thakur said it is also using funding from the older Alternative Connect America Cost Model (A-CAM) program, Indiana's Next Level Connections Broadband Grant Program and Nebraska's Remote Access Rural Broadband Grant program. From Indiana it received an unspecified sum to cover 600 homes by early 2022, while Nebraska awarded it a total of $8.9 million to connect 4,788 housing units across seven cities.
Fruits of 5G
Looking beyond its residential and enterprise broadband efforts, Thakur said Great Plains Communications' wholesale fiber business is also booming thanks to 5G. He said in addition to last mile fiber, the operator provides transport services over its multi-state fiber backbone. The backbone is based on ROAD-M technology and is capable of delivering 400G and beyond through equipment provided by Ciena, though the operator currently only offers wavelengths up to 100-gig.

In Nebraska he said it is providing backhaul for all of the major wireless providers, as well as in Illinois and Indiana. He added "we're getting several opportunities to build out to new towers, especially with 5G."
"They're actually getting very aggressive," he said. "All of the wireless providers, whether it's AT&T, Verizon, they're essentially upgrading their network. So, in some cases they may have less than a gig and they need a gig immediately. In some cases they have a gig, they need 10-gig. That's very, very active for us."

The Forest and the Zoo is an album by Steve Lacy. It was released by ESP.

Music and recording
The music comes from a concert in Argentina. The quartet is made up of Lacy on soprano saxophone, Enrico Rava on trumpet, Johnny Dyani on bass, and Louis Moholo on drums.

Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 3½ stars stating "This is not normally considered an essential part of Lacy's very large catalog, but in the 21st century it does deserve to be heartily and critically reexamined. The cover painting by the late artist Bob Thompson makes the set worth owning simply for its beauty. ". An All About Jazz reviewer concluded: "Rather than the liberating spirituality sought after in so much free jazz Lacy's unit remains light-hearted and whimsical, even as it soars above the ground below."

At the Cabinet of Wonders last night, an ensemble of writers, actors, musicians or writer/actor/musicians/magicians orchestrated by Wes Stace, aka John Wesley Harding, entertained us with a variety show that was more than the sum of its parts.
The audience wasn't confined to fans of JWH's music; I sat next to the delightful Dave King, author of The Ha-Ha, who knew JWH as writer Wesley Stace. The table was pretty much divided into the iphone obsessed who twittered (Note to self: don't try twittering and applauding simultaneously. Your gibberish will be uploaded to your eternal shame) and checked their email while waiting for the show to begin, and those who wondered how anyone could read the tiny text (the answer to that is badly as evidenced by the error laden messages I sent).
Highlights for me: Josh Ritter's beautiful rendition of a Sussex Ghost Story and a rocking version of Your Mind's Playing Tricks On You with Graham Parker. The wonder of the show is not only the singular perspectives the participants bring but the ever changing line-up - the cast at the next performance will not be the same as last night - that makes for a unique experience each time.

The House of Representatives has passed several bills aimed at reforming the way business is conducted in Harrisburg and restoring Pennsylvanians' faith in their state government, House Majority Whip Stan Saylor (R-York) said today.
State Contract Review Reform – This bill places limits on who can review bids for state contracts. It prevents an individual who has been employed by a company bidding on a project from being part of the review process.
Public Review of Contracts – This measure makes the Right-To-Know Law applicable to public procurement contracts and provides for public inspection of non-competitively awarded contracts prior to execution of the agreement.
No Start-Ups – Under this bill, members of the General Assembly would be prohibited from creating or maintaining non-profits which receive public funds. Introduced as House Bill 922 last session, this bill was not considered by the House.
Strengthening whistleblower protections for all state employees and those working on state contracts – These bills extend whistleblower protection to employees of nonprofits and private sector companies who report waste of public monies obtained by their employer for services or work. It also provides similar protections to legislative employees.
The measures will be subject to a final vote in the House next week and then will be sent to the Senate for consideration.


In the United States African American family's make-up 12.9 percent of the population according to the 2003 US Census. The US census also shows that for African Americans over the age of 15 there are 34 percent married, five percent separated, eleven percent divorced, seven percent widowed, and 43 percent were never married. According to the First Things First website, "African Americans are the most un-partnered group in America" (Medium, 2011, para. 4).
One major goal of African American families is communalism, which is very important for effective functioning (Hall, 2010). Hall (2010) describes African American families as having three family types. The first type is the cohesive-authoritative that is explained to be a family with high cohesion along with being supportive, nurturing, and involved with their children (Hall, 2010). The second type of family is the conflictive-authoritarian that is defined as families with conflict and the parents are controlling, critical, and express unhappiness with children (Hall, 2010). The last type of family Hall (2010) explains is the defensive- neglectful, that did not like other racial groups and also did not teach their children to be proud of being an African American.

Q: Is it possible to make canvas with background with lines or canvas that isn't a rectangle? I'm trying to make this one https://massmoca.org/event/walldrawing340/

in Javascript code, using p5.js, but I have no clue how to fill these shapes with lines. Is there any other possibility, like making canvas that is circle or something like that, or I just have to make each shape seperately?
For now I was doing shape by shape, but making triangle and trapezoid is rough...

        var sketch = function (p) {
          with(p) {

            let h,
                w,

            p.setup = function() {
              createCanvas(900, 400);
              h = height / 2;
              w = width / 3;
              space = 10;
              noLoop();
            };

            p.draw = function() {
              drawBackground('red', 'blue', 0, 0);
              shape('Circle', 'red', 'blue', 0, 0);
              drawBackground('yellow', 'red', w, 0);

No messages, everything is working, I just want to know if I have to do so much arduous job...

A: If you don't need actual line coordinates (for plotting for example), I'd just make most out of createGraphics() to easily render shapes and lines into (taking advantage of the fact that get() returns a p5.Image) and p5.Image's mask() function.
Here's a basic example:

function setup() {
  createCanvas(600, 300);

  let w = 300;
  let h = 150;
  let spacing = 12;
  let strokeWidth = 1;

  const BLUE   = color('#005398');
  const YELLOW = color('#f9db44');
  const RED    = color('#dc1215');

  bg = getLinesRect(w, h, RED, BLUE, spacing, strokeWidth, true);
  fg = getLinesRect(w, h, RED, YELLOW, spacing, strokeWidth, false);
  mask = getCircleMask(w, h, w * 0.5, h * 0.5, 100, 0);

  image(bg, 0, 0);
  image(fg, w, 0);
  // render opaque mask (for visualisation only), mask() requires alpha channel
  image(getCircleMask(w, h, w * 0.5, h * 0.5, 100, 255),0, h);

  // apply mask
  fg.mask(mask);
  // render bg + masked fg
  image(bg, w, h);
  image(fg, w, h);

  // text labels
  noStroke();
  fill(255);
  text("bg layer", 9, 12);
  text("fg layer", w + 9, 12);
  text("mask", 9, h + 12);
  text("bg + masked fg", w + 9, h + 12);
}

function getLinesRect(w, h, bg, fg, spacing, strokeWidth, isHorizontal){
  let rect = createGraphics(w, h);
  rect.background(bg);
  rect.stroke(fg);
  rect.strokeWeight(strokeWidth);

  if(isHorizontal){
    for(let y = 0 ; y < h; y += spacing){
      rect.line(0, y + strokeWidth, w, y + strokeWidth);
    }
  }else{
    for(let x = 0 ; x < w; x += spacing){
      rect.line(x + strokeWidth, 0, x + strokeWidth, h);
    }
  }
  // convert from p5.Graphics to p5.Image
  return rect.get();
}

function getCircleMask(w, h, cx, cy, cs, opacity){
  let mask = createGraphics(w, h);
  // make background transparent (alpha is used for masking)
  mask.background(0, opacity);
  mask.noStroke();
  mask.fill(255);
  mask.circle(cx, cy, cs);
  // convert p5.Graphics to p5.Image
  return mask.get();
}

You can apply the same logic for the rest of the shapes:

function setup() {
  createCanvas(1620, 590);

  let compWidth  = 500;
  let compHeight = 250;
  let compSpacing= 30;

  let lineWeight = 1.5;
  let lineSpacing = 12;

  const BLUE   = color('#005398');
  const YELLOW = color('#f9db44');
  const RED    = color('#dc1215');

  // yellow square
  circleMask   = getCircleMask(compWidth, compHeight, compWidth * 0.5, compHeight * 0.5, 210);
  redCircle    = getComposition(compWidth, compHeight, RED,
                                                    BLUE,
                                                    YELLOW,
                                                    lineSpacing, lineWeight, circleMask);

  // red box
  boxMask      = getRectMask(compWidth, compHeight, (compWidth - 100) * 0.5, 20, 100, 210);
  redBox       = getComposition(compWidth, compHeight, RED,
                                                    YELLOW,
                                                    BLUE,
                                                    lineSpacing, lineWeight, boxMask);

  // yellow square
  squareMask   = getRectMask(compWidth, compHeight, 144, 20, 210, 210);

Probably both rectangles and the triangle could've been drawn using getQuadMask() making good use of coordinates.
Note that I've just eye balled the shapes a bit so they're not going to be perfect, but it should be easy to tweak. Bare in mind the placement of the mask will have an effect of on how the vertical lines will align.
There are probably other ways to get the same visual effect.
For example, using texture() and textureWrap(REPEAT) with beginShape()/endShape(), using pixels for each line and checking intersections before changing direction and colours, etc.
In terms of generating lines for plotting I would start with horizontal lines, doing line to convex polygon intersection to determine where to stop the horizontal lines and start vertical lines. @AgniusVasiliauskas's answer(+1) is good for that approach.
Freya Holmér has a pretty nice visual explanation for the test.

A: You need linear algebra stuff, basically noticing how vertical line starting/ending Y coordinate changes in relation to line's X coordinate. And of course a lot of experimenting until you get something usable. Something like :
var w = 600
    h = 600
    sp = 15

var slides = [fcircle, fsquare, ftriangle, ftrapezoid, fparallelogram];

var active = 0;

   }

Slideshow DEMO

A: I have a way to do some of the shapes, but I am not sure about others. One way you could do it is if you know where every point on the outline of the shape is, you could just use a for loop and connect every other point from the top and bottom using the line or rect function. This would be relatively easy with shapes like squares and parallelograms, but I am not sure what functions could be used to get this for the points of a circle or trapezoid.

Dear Madam Speaker The President and Commander in Chief has not been impeached.
January 3, 2020 kings landing films ... a kid's guide to our universe Comments Off on Dear Madam Speaker The President and Commander in Chief has not been impeached.
nuclear warfare is bad for kids. I know I've been there
"Thank you ,,Stanley ,,,for your bravery,,,you have given your all for country and to protect the freedoms we cherish ,,,,,,,,"
"As one former Naval officer to another former Naval officer, I can say that was one great email to Pelosi. Well stated"
"Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bid'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to thee,
for those in peril on the sea."
Dear Madam Speaker
The President and Commander in Chief has not been impeached. Instead, you have used the impeachment process for the tribal short term goals of your National Democratic Socialist Party (NDSP) in order to deny us the right to in November, to vote for the President of our choice.
In my view, every vote to bring down the Commander in Chief in time of war is treason (please read article 3, Section 3 of our Constitution).
Has your (NDSP) forgotten 9/11? The recent drone bombings in Saudi Arabia? All the American kids with black skin who to this day, 9 lawyers have yet to protect or give them their equal unalienable rights in our Declaration of Independence that my Ancestor's brother, Caesar Rodney, signed?
(This same impeachment process was used by the National Republican Capitalistic Party (NRCP) to impeach one of our greatest presidents, Bill Clinton.
But to look back now would be to continue the tribal thinking, tribal politics, tribal physics and all the tribal 'behavior' that democracy (mob rule) creates.
Our Nation and our planet are in great Peril and we are running out of time
7, 759,057,435 of us, are now increasing by 5 new births every second
That is: 300 births every minute
That is: 18,00 every hour
That is: 432,000 every day
That is; 3,024,000 every week
That is; 157,248,000 every year
Over population
We (as of this second in the United States of America) (330,150,782 of us) are destroying the food chain, polluting our atmosphere, waging tribal war and slaughtering our children and their future no matter what the color of their skin by allowing invaders (illegal immigrants) (massive illegal drugs )(human slave traffic)(vicious gangs) to flow through the Borders we, who served, risked our lives, died, or returned home with service disabilities to defend.
Barbara Jordan warned your party that it was losing it's moral compass in 1976. She suggested a plan we can now follow to end division in the Nation and restore a nation united in which "all American Kids, no matter what the color of their skin can flourish and make their dreams come true".
Please, please listen to what she said:
H Stanley Judd
Please join us to make Barbara Jordan's 'American dream' come true in 2020 and make 2020 a year of reconciliation in the United States of America'
Barbara Jordan, former Democratic Congresswoman from Texas who, as a key speaker at the Democratic Convention in 1976 outlined a plan through which members of congress of any tribal political party can serve the people "equality for all and Privilege for none" and serve the common good.
Barbara Jordan sent me a fine letter years ago in which she wrote, "It's nice to be on the winning side of an issue"
Not withstanding the past, let us seize the moment as we enter the Digital Age "to make the United States of America and the world a garden in which all kids, no matter what the color of their skin, can flourish and make their dreams dome true"
Please listen to Barbara Jordan's keynote speaker address to the Democratic National Convention in 1976 in which she warned that a divided nation was in 'danger' of losing its moral compass by 'not hearing' the people.

What happened to the American sense of humor?
Here are five quotes from Will Rogers observations about American Tribal Politics.
We will add more quotes as time goes by
"Congress is so strange; a man (or now, it's about time, a woman) gets up to speak and says nothing, nobody listens, and then everybody disagrees."
"I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts"
"The short memories of the American voters is what keeps our politicians in office"
"America has the best politicians money can buy"
"I'm not a member of any organized political party…. I'm a Democrat."
and listen to our address to the House of Representatives
"When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concerns, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses."
Haile Selassie
"Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.
Bishop Tutu
Bishop Tutu, through his secretary, sent me a thank you note years ago. Please listen carefully to what he advised about reconciliation
"Forgiving and being reconciled to our enemies or our loved ones are not about pretending that things are other than they are. It is not about patting one another on the back and turning a blind eye to the wrong. True reconciliation exposes the awfulness, the abuse, the hurt, the truth. It could even sometimes make things worse. It is a risky undertaking but in the end it is worthwhile, because in the end only an honest confrontation with reality can bring real healing. Superficial reconciliation can bring only superficial healing."
― Desmond Tutu
"Every time a child is harmed, humanity takes a backward step"

DIVORCE LITIGATION – FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY SERVING WOODLAND HILLS
Over 35 years of experience in Los Angeles and Ventura County Family Law. Serving all areas of Southern California including Woodland Hills, Encino, Calabasas and Sherman Oaks.
Los Angeles and Ventura County Divorce Litigation Attorney
Family Law expert Leon F. Bennett and his staff are experienced divorce attorneys with over 35 years of successful practice dedicated to divorce and its many complicated facets. If Divorce Mediation or Divorce Collaboration prove not to be satisfactory options, then the ultimate solution is Litigation which means presenting your case before a judge for final resolution. To get to that ultimate point, we will devise an in-depth legal strategy and game plan to fit your unique situation and circumstances.
Our legal team works with highly skilled professionals including forensic accountants, therapists, investigators, videographers and other experienced specialists who will provide thorough, comprehensive and, when needed, aggressive representation. Our primary goal is to ensure that you and your family achieve positive results, even when faced with the most difficult of situations.
There are many important decisions to consider in your case for a final divorce settlement including:
We seek to foster amicable resolutions whenever possible, especially when children are involved, as we understand the importance of maintaining a working parenting relationship with a former spouse. We are sympathetic to the stress and hardship caused by a divorce, and we assist our clients in formulating a plan to cope with the adversity, often collaborating with counselors, accountants, estate planners, educators and other professionals in the process.
Divorce is obviously a stressful decision to both the adults involved, but also to children, extended family and friends. Every couple's situation is different, and we will work closely with you to help choose the most painless and sensible solutions for your situation.
Divorce Litigation Strategies
Our divorce litigation strategies also extend to every couple's specific scenario which can vary based on the makeup of the partnership. We are very much equal-opportunity attorneys who are proud to help a vast array of relationship resolutions including:
Gray Divorce
Since California is considered a "no fault" state, couples can divorce without blaming one another for ending the marriage which is designed to create a more amicable approach to the divorce proceedings. While our lawyers will always suggest alternative methods of ending a marriage that don't involve litigation and a judge's ruling, we recognize that in some cases Collaborative-Mediation just won't work. Even in litigation, however, the goal is to find a sensible and satisfactory resolution without hostility.
We will handle every step necessary for your individual needs from child and spousal support to custody concerns to property and equity divisions. While divorcing can be a scary and intimidating proposition, the Law Offices of Leon F. Bennett will make the process as painless as possible with the pursuit of a beneficial outcome to our clients.

Bennett and his seasoned legal team have helped families reach mutually agreeable decisions regarding matters of divorce, custody, support and the many rights and agreements associated with family law services.

The researchers report that the "Kromberg Formation (KF) forms are bona fide, organic Archean microfossils and represent some of the oldest morphologically preserved organisms on Earth," in the July issue of Precambrian Research. They also state that the combination of morphology, occurrence and carbon isotope values argues that the lenticular forms represent microbes that had planktonic stages to their life cycles.
These fossils all occur in sedimentary rocks — chert — in what was once shallow water. And, according to the researchers, it appears that the samples from two sites in Australia and one in South Africa are related.
These microfossils are unusual not only because they are so old, appearing in the geologic record about a billion years after Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago, but because they are large, complex, plankton-like and autotrophs — organisms that can turn inorganic elements into organic material.
Familiar fossils such as trilobites were alive just 200 million years ago and first appeared 500 million years ago. The lenticular organisms appeared 3,450 million years ago, spread at least from where Australia was then to South Africa and then disappeared from the fossil record. They are larger and more elaborate than any other organism existing around at that time.
The researchers analyzed the fossils to determine the isotopic relationship between carbon 12 and carbon 13, two isotopes of carbon that exist in everything but whose ratios can indicate organic material. They used Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy, a process where an ion beam kicks ions off the surface of a substance so that those ions can be identified.
The researchers also note that the isotopic make up and morphology of these fossils set them apart from other microfossils found from the Precambrian — 4,600 million years ago to 541 million years ago. These robust microorganisms existed for 400 million years and were abundant and widespread. Because they have thick robust walls and behave like plankton — floating in the ocean surface waters — they may have had an advantage for survival in the early Earth's higher ultraviolet radiation and sometimes chaotic environment, which was still being bombarded by large impacts.


2010 August — Dayna Macy, author of "Ravenous"
My ten year old sons, Jack and Matthew, went for a walk today. An hour later, they came home, and gave me these flowers.
I have the kindest, nicest sons. I am so touched by them, and so proud of them.
If I'm wilting in this heat, the bees are getting slaughtered. There are a dozen dead carpenter bees on my deck. If it's 90 degrees outside, it must be 120 inside the wood beam on our deck where they live.
Liz Gilbert's book, Eat, Pray, Love is a worldwide phenomenon — nine million copies and counting. Liz is a really, really good writer, and I'm happy for her. But it's her companion perfumes that have inspired me to think bigger.
I'm thrilled to say that I've just been approached by a fragrance company to create a companion scent to my memoir, Ravenous, which will be published in February 2011.
We had our first meeting and we've boiled down the scent to base notes of salami and camenbert, mid notes of black olives and cheetos, with a top note (light) of cheesecake (plain). The company believes, and I agree, that when readers of my memoir spritz themselves with Ravenous, the perfume, they will be transported into the world of bingeing and overeating like they never dreamed possible. We call this "augmented reality," and it's what every author should aspire to.
We're hoping they can create an edible bottle in time for launch so that if the spritzer/reader has a deep urge to binge big, she can eat the bottle too.
Neither of us could come up with any response.

New Technology Promises to Keep Data Safe
King Solomon's ancient words about staying clear of those with malicious intent, and protecting good reputations by acting wisely and prudently are as important today as in his time. And as stories continue to hit the news about massive data hacks and the National Security Agency's domestic spying campaign, new industries are stepping up with devices designed to thwart snooping and help keep business and personal information safe from prying eyes – and ears.
Worry about data interception and online identity and data theft is nothing new. Online security experts have been warning users for years about the need to protect data by using passwords and other safeguards that are difficult to hack and keeping sensitive transactions off publicly accessed devices to avoid major data hacks like the one that hit Target department stores over the Thanksgiving holiday this past year.
But anxiety about protecting personal data hit a new high with the ongoing revelations from whistle blower Edward Snowden and other sources about the scope of domestic snooping by the country's very own intelligence services, led by the NSA. And that, rather than the warnings about the dangers of identity hacking in general, is fueling the appetite for snoop-proof devices.
The most-hyped of these is the Blackphone, which hits the market in February 2014. It's an Android phone that's been tweaked to provide encryption protection for all communications, text and voice, from anywhere in the world. That's a direct response to the news that NSA has been intercepting domestic phone calls and texts from all kinds of standard phones.
The Blackphone is the brainchild of Silent Circle, a technology company that's suddenly making headlines for their innovations in this arena. Silent Circle employs the services of military experts and encryption specialists to develop the technology that changes a standard Android phone into something from a James Bond film. But it's not cheap. The Blackphone is expected to retail for around $300 in the US.
Other companies have jumped on the encryption bandwagon too, responding to the anxieties raised after vSnowden's revelations about the activities of that most secret of the government's spy services. A variety of new apps have been developed for use with existing devices, such as the Confide, a messaging app for business communications that works to prevent anyone from taking a screenshot of a message, which then disappears.
For now, these new apps and devices are helping users stay ahead of the curve. But Silent Circle representatives and online security experts point out that it's a cat and mouse game – and hackers and surveillance experts everywhere will be busy building the next generation of spyware to beat any device that's created.
That may be good news for technology innovators, whose companies are enjoying a higher profile – and higher revenues – thanks to the demand for the new spy-proof devices. And it's a demand that isn't likely to slow down soon. As Jason Hartman says, it's wise to stay informed and in control – and the new American cottage industry is one to watch for the future.

Is 'Telemedicine' Virtually Identical to the Examination Room?
Stateline Article October 27, 2015 By: Michael Ollove Read time:
Regulating Telemedicine
A California doctor waits to confer with a doctor at another hospital whose image is displayed on a monitor. States have taken different approaches to regulating telemedicine.
Telemedicine has been praised as a cost-effective way to link doctors and patients, enabling physicians to monitor their medical conditions and consult with specialists in a way that overcomes time and distance.
But despite a half-century of technological advances, the ready availability of interactive devices, and the full-throated encouragement of the Obama administration, advocates say telemedicine has failed to reach its full potential, due largely to policies in some states that make it difficult to practice, and pay for, such care.
"The technology has opened up this huge opportunity, this game changer," said Allison Wils, director of health policy for the ERISA Industry Council, a trade association that advocates on issues related to health care for large, multistate employers. "The problem is that there are still varying levels of comfort with it across the states."
Some states require that patients be accompanied by a health professional during telemedicine sessions. Hawaii, Indiana and Ohio limit Medicaid coverage to patients who live a minimum distance from their providers. (In Indiana, for example, the standard is 20 miles.) Another significant hurdle is the requirement that doctors be licensed in every state where they practice medicine, digitally or otherwise.
Because of those barriers, telemedicine advocates say, the elderly, the infirm, the isolated and the busy are being denied full access to needed health care.
States that have been slower to embrace telemedicine, including Arkansas, Rhode Island and Texas, are merely being prudent, waiting to be assured that the new technology does not diminish the quality of care patients receive, say some physician regulatory boards. "There is a concern that whatever is put in place not be dangerous," said Lisa Robin, chief advocacy officer for the Federation of State Medical Boards, which represents the state boards that license and discipline doctors.
But those pushing for a less restrictive approach to telemedicine say it is not an inferior form of medicine but a vehicle for extending quality health care to more places. And, they argue, some policies hampering the spread of telemedicine have been motivated by fear of competition among more traditional practitioners.
"In some states, the issue comes down to protecting their doctors from outside competition," said Latoya Thomas, director of state health policy at the American Telemedicine Association (ATA). "Their doctors with brick-and-mortar practices assume that someone who uses telemedicine is trying to take away patients."
NASA Origins
Telemedicine's origins date back to the early days of the U.S. space program, when NASA scientists developed technology that enabled doctors to monitor the physiological conditions of astronauts in space. Thanks to rapid advances in interactive technology, telemedicine developed quickly, principally to link physicians to remote populations in such places as Alaska and Arizona's Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation.
Telemedicine also spread from rural to urban areas. Doctors now monitor or communicate with patients from afar on everything from routine preventive care to chronic disease management and psychiatric conditions. Primary care doctors and their patients consult with specialists and diagnosticians who might otherwise be beyond their geographic reach.
The industry received a major boost from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Affordable Care Act of 2010, both of which increased federal spending on health information technology and telemedicine. President Barack Obama has often extolled its potential to increase access to quality health care while cutting costs. Nearly 13 million Americans use telemedicine, according to the ATA.
Regulating Coverage
As telemedicine spread in the 2000s, more state legislatures and state medical regulatory boards adopted telemedicine policies.
Some state laws and regulations govern insurance coverage of telemedicine.
Twenty-nine states now have parity laws that require private insurers to pay for telemedicine at the same rate as in-person services, according to the ATA. Arkansas, Michigan, Oregon and Vermont only require parity if the technology is both audio and visual or in real-time rather than recorded. Arizona only enforces parity when patients live very far from providers.
In addition, 48 state Medicaid programs offer at least some coverage for telemedicine. Connecticut and Rhode Island are the only states that largely refuse to pay for telemedicine in their Medicaid programs. About half of state Medicaid programs require that a patient be in some sort of medical facility during telemedicine encounters, rather than at home.
Earlier this year, Connecticut enacted a law requiring private insurers to cover telemedicine.
Joseph Wendelken, of the Rhode Island Health Department, said that, because of Rhode Island's small size, "what is generally referred to as telehealth is less common in our state." Rhode Islanders, he noted, are generally located within an hour's drive of first-class medical centers with topflight specialists.
Restrictions on Telemedicine
Many states have also adopted laws and policies concerning how physicians practice telemedicine. Some states require that a health professional be physically present with a patient during a telemedicine session. Most states require patients to sign special consent forms.
Some states require in-person follow-ups. Texas is locked in a federal lawsuit with the provider Teladoc, which digitally links patients and doctors, over the state's requirement that doctors meet with patients in person before moving to a digital relationship or have other providers physically present with patients when treating them remotely for the first time. Arkansas has a similar law.
Russell Thomas, a family practice doctor in the small town of Eagle Lake, Texas, and former member of the Texas Medical Board and of the Federation of State Medical Boards, provides primary care through videoconferencing to at-risk students at a high school 300 miles away. He also consults with cardiologists and dermatologists in Houston for his patients.
But, he said, doctors should first meet with patients before moving to a digital relationship. "I can't imagine that I can provide the best care to my patients if I never laid eyes on them, if I never physically assessed them."
For its part, the ATA argues that telemedicine doctors should be governed by the same policies and restrictions that apply to traditional physicians. "Our belief is that if you license a health care provider, you expect them to uphold the standard of care—whatever tools they are using," the ATA's Thomas said. In other words, it should be left up to each physician who practices telemedicine to determine if a remote session suffices or if a face-to-face visit is necessary.
States that put additional requirements on telemedicine doctors, she said, are depriving people of access to medical care. "It's a delivery model that may not be familiar to everyone, but where it is available, it should be used fully."

Illud Divinum Insanus is the eighth studio album by American death metal band Morbid Angel. It was released on June 7, 2011, by independent French record label Season of Mist. It is Morbid Angel's first album since Heretic (2003), the band's longest gap to date between studio albums. This is the only Morbid Angel album to feature guitarist Destructhor and drummer Tim Yeung, making it their first not to feature Pete Sandoval, who was recovering from surgery. It is also the band's only album to feature bassist/vocalist David Vincent since he rejoined in 2004. The album is controversial for its eccentric influences and sound that differs heavily from Morbid Angel's traditional musical style, fan backlash to the record was harsh but most critics were generally mixed.

Recording and production
Illud Divinum Insanus is the band's only album featuring Norwegian guitarist Destructhor, the first with bassist/vocalist David Vincent since Domination (1995), and the first to not include longtime drummer Pete Sandoval, who had undergone back surgery when recording began. Former Hate Eternal drummer Tim Yeung recorded the drum tracks for this album.

Illud Divinum Insanus took more than five years to materialize. Work on the album began in 2006, and it was originally going to be released in 2007, but was pushed back several times while the band continued touring and writing new material. After four years of writing, Morbid Angel began development on the album from June 2010 to January 2011 at several studios, including Mana Recording Studios and Red Room Studios for the drum recording, and D.O.W. Studios for the bass, guitars, and vocals. Illud Divinum Insanus was mixed in Hollywood, California, with Sean Beavan.

Promotion and release

The cover art for the album was unveiled on March 30, 2011. It was designed by Brazilian artist Gustavo Sazes, who commented:

The album's track listing and information of various release formats were unveiled on April 5, 2011. Prior to the release of the album, a single for the song "Nevermore" was made available on May 16 as a digital download and on 7" vinyl. The cover artwork for the single was designed by French artists Valnoir and Fursy Teyssier for Metastazis. The single also contains an exclusive version of the song "Destructos vs. the Earth", remixed by Combichrist.

In 2012, a double remix album called Illud Divinum Insanus – The Remixes was released.

Reception

The album received mixed reviews from critics and generated a strong backlash from fans, many of whom were dissatisfied with the group's attempt to add an industrial element to the album. Louisville Music News labeled the album a "failed experiment" and a "joke", and described Illud Divinum Insanus as Morbid Angel's St. Anger, in reference to the Metallica album. Metal Injection gave the album 3/10 and described the album as "a joke" and an "overall bummer to listen to." They criticised the lack of heavy, interesting guitarwork and Pete Sandoval's absence from the album, writing that "Instead, we're left with fifty-six plodding minutes of (mostly) forgettable death metal and/or offensively terrible industrial metal." They also highlighted David Vincent's lyrics for particular criticism, describing them as "atrocious" and "pretty awful pretty much the entire time". Blabbermouth criticised the album, particularly for the programmed drums, and argued that even the four best tracks on the album sounded "uninspired and even if the band dumped blood, sweat and tears into these songs, that still wouldn't make up for the fact that a track like "Radikult" takes up space on the same album."

Conversely, Phil Freeman of Allmusic said that while "those who love the band's earliest records...are bound to see Illud Divinum Insanus''' experiments with industrial...as betrayals of everything the group once stood for", "many of the songs on Illud...are as raw and savage as anything the band's ever recorded", and that the album is "a left turn by a band that's already made many of them throughout its...career". Metal Hammer gave 9/10, describing the album as "a twisted, confrontational masterpiece". The album received praise before its release from artists including Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth, Anders Nyström from Katatonia and several other metal artists. However, drummer Pete Sandoval disliked the album, saying, "I don't know why they did that with the DJs, they could've have [sic] just done a separate project without calling it a Morbid Angel album. That might have been better." Sandoval was unable to contribute to the recording of Illud Divinum Insanus'' due to injuries, and later left the band entirely.

Guitarist Trey Azagthoth calls the album "a confused effort", whose unfocused direction ultimately led to David Vincent's departure in 2015, and offers no apologies over the computerized beats and effects, with a comment about the song "Radikult", calling it "a silly song", "...I had nothing to do with that thing."
