Worldwide Sales Of PS4 Reached 70.6 Million Units Sold
PS4NewsFeaturedSonyPSVRPS4 ProPS4 Slim about a year ago by Former GT Staff Writer
So it seems that Nintendo isn't the only one having a good year in terms of hardware sales. As of Dec 3, Sony has sold over 70.6 million units of PS4 since its release back in 2014.
It has been reported last June that the console sold 60.4 million units. Meaning, Sony was able to sell 10.2 million units in a span of 6 months, which shows how the console is doing very well. Take note however, that the latest data is accurate as of December 3rd, so it will definitely still increase before 2017 draws to a close with all the frantic holiday shopping we can expect in the weeks to come.
In terms of software, there have been a staggering 617.8 million PS4 games sold, retail and digital combined. In a press release by Sony, they stated their appreciation to gamers who are still patronizing their system.
"We are delighted that so many people are enjoying the unique entertainment proposition of PlayStation 4, and that an emerging technology like PlayStation VR continues to gain traction," said Andrew House, Chairman of Sony Interactive Entertainment. "I cannot thank our fans and partners enough. Their support, since the launch of the very first PlayStation in 1994, has helped to make PlayStation one of the biggest console gaming networks in the world. We will continue to work closely with partners to maintain this momentum, and remain steadfast in making PS4 the best place to play."
The PlayStation VR is also doing great in case you're wondering. As of today, the PSVR has surpassed sales of over 2 million units globally and combine that to the 12.2 million PSVR games sold to date. After all these years, the PS4 is still very much alive and kicking after being in the market for 3 years. The recent surge in sales is probably due to the fact that upgraded consoles, in the form of the PS4 Slim, and PS4 Pro, were released late last year. Nonetheless, Sony is definitely ending 2017 with a bang!

And how you can follow his lead.
Information is power. It's best to get other people's information while protecting your own!
If you want to be successful in your career, you need to realize information is power. No one knows this better than Bill Gates. In 1980, IBM was building its first personal computer, the PC. Trying to keep costs down, IBM decided to outsource the operating system and contacted Microsoft.
Microsoft didn't have an operating system, but Bill Gates knew of a company that did. Seattle Computers had a system named QDOS but had no idea IBM was looking for an operating system. Gates used this information to his advantage and purchased QDOS at a fairly cheap price.
He then turned around and renamed the operating system MS-DOS. In one of the shrewdest moves in the history of business, instead of selling MS-DOS to IBM, Gates held on to it and only licensed it. This allowed him to license it to other computer companies.
The IBM PC became a huge success. And because imitation is the greatest form of flattery, PCs from other companies started to flood the market, every one of them with MS-DOS as the operating system.
The computer had became a commodity. The value was in the software, or the operating system. Gates had a monopoly. It was this monopoly that made Microsoft a juggernaut and Gates the richest man in the world.
Getting information is not as hard as you think. This is why one of the most famous expressions during World War II was "lose lips sink ships." In fact, information gave America its turning point victory in the Pacific.
In June 1942, only six months after the Japanese destroyed a big chunk of the American fleet at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese wanted to finally knock America out of the war in the Pacific with one more decisive victory. Their plan was to ambush what remained of the American fleet near the Midway Islands.
Fortunately for America, cryptographers were able to determine the date and location of the planned attack, allowing the U.S. Navy to prepare its own ambush. All four of Japan's large aircraft carriers were destroyed in what is now known as the Battle of Midway.
If you want information, all you have to do is ask.
So in summary, if you want to be successful in your career, you need to realize information is power. You need to get other people's information while at the same time protecting your own information.

I need something done, but I couldn't impose on a perfect stranger. Perhaps after you've been here a while I might feel more comfortable asking a favor.
Oh, such a trouble I have...maybe...No, I couldn't impose on you, what with all the other troubles. Maybe after you've cleansed the church of some of those creatures you could come back... and spare a little time to help a poor farmer?
Oh, I could use your help, but perhaps after you've saved the catacombs from the desecration of those beasts.
I see in you the potential for greatness. Perhaps sometime while you are fulfilling your destiny, you could stop by and do a little favor for me?
I think you could probably help me, but perhaps after you've gotten a little more powerful. I wouldn't want to injure the village's only chance to destroy the menace in the church!
It must truly be a fearsome task I've set before you. If there was just some way that I could... would a flagon of some nice, fresh milk help?
I knew that it couldn't be as simple as that witch made it sound. It's a sad world when you can't even trust your neighbors.
Is it gone? Did you send it back to the dark recesses of Hades that spawned it? You what? Oh, don't tell me you lost it! Those things don't come cheap, you know. You've got to find it, and then blast that horror out of our town.
I heard the explosion from here! Many thanks to you, kind stranger. What with all these things comin' out of the ground, monsters taking over the church, and so forth, these are trying times. I am but a poor farmer, but here -- take this with my great thanks.

Look I'm just a cow, OK?
Me, I'm a self-made cow. Make something of yourself, and... then we'll talk.
Quit bugging me. I'm looking for someone really heroic. And you're not it. I can't trust you, you're going to get eaten by monsters any day now... I need someone who's an experienced hero.
All right, all right. I'm not really a cow. I don't normally go around like this; but, I was sitting at home minding my own business and all of a sudden these bugs & vines & bulbs & stuff started coming out of the floor... it was horrible! If only I had something normal to wear, it wouldn't be so bad. Hey! Could you go back to my place and get my suit for me? The brown one, not the gray one, that's for evening wear. I'd do it myself, but I don't want anyone seeing me like this. Here, take this, you might need it... to kill those things that have overgrown everything. You can't miss my house, it's just south of the fork in the river... you know... the one with the overgrown vegetable garden.
All right, I'll cut the bull. I didn't mean to steer you wrong. I was sitting at home, feeling moo-dy, when things got really un-stable; a whole stampede of monsters came out of the floor! I just cowed. I just happened to be wearing this Jersey when I ran out the door, and now I look udderly ridiculous. If only I had something normal to wear, it wouldn't be so bad. Hey! Can you go back to my place and get my suit for me? The brown one, not the gray one, that's for evening wear. I'd do it myself, but I don't want anyone seeing me like this. Here, take this, you might need it... to kill those things that have overgrown everything. You can't miss my house, it's just south of the fork in the river... you know... the one with the overgrown vegetable garden.
Hey, have you got my suit there? Quick, pass it over! These ears itch like you wouldn't believe!
What are you wasting time for? Go get my suit! And hurry! That Holstein over there keeps winking at me!
No no no no! This is my GRAY suit! It's for evening wear! Formal occasions! I can't wear THIS. What are you, some kind of weirdo? I need the BROWN suit.
Ahh, that's MUCH better. Whew! At last, some dignity! Are my antlers on straight? Good. Look, thanks a lot for helping me out. Here, take this as a gift; and, you know... a little fashion tip... you could use a little... you could use a new... yknowwhatImean? The whole adventurer motif is just so... retro. Just a word of advice, eh? Ciao.
I lost Theo! I lost my best friend! We were playing over by the river, and Theo said he wanted to go look at the big green thing. I said we shouldn't, but we snuck over there, and then suddenly this BUG came out! We ran away but Theo fell down and the bug GRABBED him and took him away!
Didja find him? You gotta find Theodore, please! He's just little. He can't take care of himself! Please!
You found him! You found him! Thank you! Oh Theo, did those nasty bugs scare you? Hey! Ugh! There's something stuck to your fur! Ick! Come on, Theo, let's go home! Thanks again, hero person!
These lands shall be defiled, and our brood shall overrun the fields that men call home. Our tendrils shall envelop this world, and we will feast on the flesh of its denizens. Man shall become our chattel and sustenance.
Have you been enjoying yourself, little mammal? How pathetic. Your little world will be no challenge at all.
Come closer, morsel. I smell your terror, and I hunger.
My grandmother often tells me stories about the strange forces that inhabit the graveyard outside of the church. And it may well interest you to hear one of them. She said that if you were to leave the proper offering in the cemetary, enter the cathedral to pray for the dead, and then return, the offering would be altered in some strange way. I don't know if this is just the talk of an old sick woman, but anything seems possible these days.
There was a time when this town was a frequent stop for travelers from far and wide. Much has changed since then. But hidden caves and buried treasure are common fantasies of any child. Wirt seldom indulges in youthful games. So it may just be his imagination.
Hmmm. A vast and mysterious treasure you say. Mmmm. Maybe I could be interested in picking up a few things from you. Or better yet, don't you need some rare and expensive supplies to get you through this ordeal?
I really don't have time to discuss some map you are looking for. I have many sick people that require my help and yours as well.
A what?! This is foolishness. There's no treasure buried here in Tristram. Let me see that!! Ah, Look these drawings are inaccurate. They don't match our town at all. I'd keep my mind on what lies below the cathedral and not what lies below our topsoil.
And in the year of the Golden Light, it was so decreed that a great Cathedral be raised. The cornerstone of this holy place was to be carved from the translucent stone Antyrael, named for the Angel who shared his power with the Horadrim.
In the Year of Drawing Shadows, the ground shook and the Cathedral shattered and fell. As the building of catacombs and castles began and man stood against the ravages of the Sin War, the ruins were scavenged for their stones. And so it was that the cornerstone vanished from the eyes of man.
The stone was of this world -- and of all worlds -- as the Light is both within all things and beyond all things. Light and unity are the products of this holy foundation, a unity of purpose and a unity of possession.
Whoever finds this scroll is charged with stopping the demonic creature that lies within these walls. My time is over. Even now, its hellish minions claw at the frail door behind which I hide.
I have hobbled the demon with arcane magic and encased it within great walls, but I fear that will not be enough.
The spells found in my three grimoires will provide you protected entrance to his domain, but only if cast in their proper sequence. The levers at the entryway will remove the barriers and free the demon; touch them not! Use only these spells to gain entry or his power may be too great for you to defeat.
I have tried spells, threats, abjuration and bargaining with this foul creature -- to no avail. My methods of enslaving lesser demons seem to have no effect on this fearsome beast.
My home is slowly becoming corrupted by the vileness of this unwanted prisoner. The crypts are full of shadows that move just beyond the corners of my vision. The faint scrabble of claws dances at the edges of my hearing. They are searching, I think, for this journal.
In its ranting, the creature has let slip its name -- Na-Krul. I have attempted to research the name, but the smaller demons have somehow destroyed my library. Na-Krul... The name fills me with a cold dread. I prefer to think of it only as The Creature rather than ponder its true name.
The entrapped creature's howls of fury keep me from gaining much needed sleep. It rages against the one who sent it to the Void, and it calls foul curses upon me for trapping it here. Its words fill my heart with terror, and yet I cannot block out its voice.
Hi! I'm free, free to confront the one who banished me to the void, Diablo. Hi, Everybody, and I'm free to reward you, little mortal, with these Aerosmith tickets. You'll be getting backstage passes, you'll get to meet Steven Tyler and the whole band. This Friday at the Coliseum. Thanks for getting me out of there. By the way, I'm gonna have to kill you. (pause) I'll be right back with the traffic and weather together.
"Generosity brings its own rewards."

On the first day of our vacation this year, we drove to Chattanooga, Tennessee to go to the Tennessee Aquarium. It's one of the best aquariums in the nation and we knew the kids would love it so we decided to make an impromptu trip on our way to Charleston and left a day early so we could go.
The kids loved it! The aquarium is actually two buildings, one dedicated to rivers and the other to oceans. We had a blast in the butterfly garden, touched sting rays and sharks and enjoyed looking at all the otters, sharks, penguins and much much more. Even this girl, who has a fear of fish had a great time. I think probably my favorite part was watch the scuba divers swim in the exhibits. That's something I would never do!
There's a huge plaza outside with all sorts of things to climb on and a "riverbed" to swim in. We didn't realize it was there so they only waded, but they still had a blast.
Afterward, we walked across the Walnut St. Bridge, the longest pedestrian bridge in the world, which spans the Tennessee River.
There's a carousel in the park on the north side of the river and we promised Ewan he would get to ride on it. Both kids were in heaven! Ewan actually rode it several times.
We really liked the Tennessee Aquarium and what we saw of Chattanooga. It's somewhere that we definitely want to visit again!
Looks like a lot of fun and that last picture is just precious!
SO MUCH FUN! You all look like you had a great time!
I found this post bookmarked in my favorites, I'm not sure how long its been there or how I got here! I love your honesty. I also suffered delayed PPD after having a traumatic labor and birth. I'm still angry with the hospital where I delivered, and I'm terrified to get pregnant again because of it. I hope your doing well.
Hi! You have no idea how much it means to me to know that I have reached someone else who has gone through what I have. I can't say that I'm completely better and "over it" because I don't think that I will ever truly be over it. But, I have been able to process some of what happened and have channeled my energy into becoming a birth advocate and am pretty involved in my local ICAN chapter. If you have one near you, I highly recommend going to a meeting. It is so comforting to be with women who truly get it.
That looks like so much fun! We'll have to remember it if we ever go there. I actually don't care for Shedd's Aquarium in Chicago, but this one looks terrific.
For as much as I have been to Chicago, I have never been to Shedd Aquarium!
I do too...and I don't like fish!
This looks like an amazing time! Thank you for sharing! I would love to see Chattanooga someday!
We didn't really see much of it, but it's on our list to revisit. There's so much to do with the kids too!
We went to that aquarium last year and loved it! The exhibits are really nicely done.
We want to go back and spend a long weekend in Chattanooga. It was really nice.

Q: Deleting multiple checked items at a time in MFC listview control box I have an MFC listview control box with extended style LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES. My Delete button handler code to delete checked items from the listview control box, is shown below:
for (int i = 0; i < m_cList.GetItemCount(); i++)
{
     // checking for checked items
     BOOL bCheck = m_cList.GetCheck(i);

     if (bCheck != 0)
     {
         //deleting the  checked items
         m_cList.DeleteItem(i);
     }
}

The problem with my code is, when I click the Delete button it doesn't delete all the checked items at one shot. Instead, one item is deleted from the listview control box at a time. So I need to click the Delete button again and again if I want to delete multiple checked items. Can anyone help me to delete multiple items at one shot with one click of the Delete button.
Thank you in Advance!

A: You issues is that DeleteItem function is changing the indexes of the items, so after the first item is deleted, the index i is no longer valid inside the loop.
A good solution can be iterating the items in reverse order:
for (int i = m_cList.GetItemCount()-1; i>=0; i--)
    {
        // checking for checked items
        BOOL bCheck = m_cList.GetCheck(i);

        if (bCheck != 0)
        {
            //deleting the  checked items
            m_cList.DeleteItem(i);
        }
    }

Brass is a gold colored copper-zinc alloy. The shade depends on the copper-zinc composition. Brass 85/15 has a dark golden color and is sometimes called "red brass", Brass 70/30 has a rather yellowish golden color, and Brass 63/37 has a neutral golden color. The color of brass coins changes over time due to tarnishing.
Ample availability and competitive price of the material make brass the most widely used alloy in vending machines. It is corrosion free and so it can be used in wet environments such as a swimming pool or car washes.

Time is Illmatic
Time Is Illmatic, a documentary film that explores Nas' 1994 debut album, Illmatic. The film is set to debut at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 16 and will hit theaters shortly after. This documentary was Directed and Produced by a friend of mine, One9, and pretty much since I made his acquaintance he has spoken about this project.
As a hip hop fan (the 90's was my era), I can't wait to watch the film and for my friend, I am thrilled and excited for him to finally get to share his hard work, dedication and passion for "Time Is Illmatic" with the world! Watch the trailer below…
Time Is Illmatic is a feature length documentary film that delves deep into the making of Nas' 1994 debut album, Illmatic, and the social conditions that influenced its creation.
Twenty years after its release, Illmatic has become a hip-hop benchmark that encapsulates the socio-political outlook, enduring spirit, and collective angst of a generation of young black men searching for their voice in America.
Time is Illmatic tracks the musical legacy of the Jones family, handed down to Nas from his jazz musician father, Olu Dara. It also examines the social conditions and environmental influences that contributed to Nas' worldview.
Along the way, Time Is Illmatic shows how Nas—with the support of his Queensbridge neighborhood crew, the loyalty of his younger brother Jabari "Jungle" Fret, and sacrifices of his mother, Ann Jones—overcame insurmountable odds to create the greatest work of music from hip-hop's second golden era.
With support from Ford Foundation & Tribeca Film Insitute.

The recent Florida decision, has divided some people into two factions, black and white. Most of these people are not interested in the facts, and the legal process that was involved. One side sees a white man murdering a black youth, while the other side sees a white man defending himself. With any verdict, one side is obviously disappointed and the other faction relieved that the right decision was delivered.
Factions of the population that segregate themselves by race, religion and political affiliations will never be satisfied that justice was delivered if the verdict goes contrary to their wishes, even when given an excess amount of evidence. It is this mind of a distorted mirror that hinders the understanding of truth. It is a mind that is contaminated with greed and arrogance.
Only when we remove arrogance and greed can our minds become pure like water. It is this mind that does not separate: but it is a mind that brings people together. It is a mind that is like a new mirror, a mind that reflects the truth.
It is this hope of sweeping the evils (greed, arrogance, and self love) that we pray to God. It is with this special prayer that will save all mankind. Pray not to punish your enemies, pray to help them eliminate their evils (greed, arrogance, and self love).

Double post - but Borderlands and Evoland have been taking up my time as of late. Borderlands is everything I expected it to be, and Evoland has been a neat RPG/Zelda parody so far.

I didn't want to triple post but oh well. I'll edit from here on if nobody is playing things on their PC, even if it is just me talking to myself.
I'm currently playing two things - Reccetear for like the umpteenth time without finishing it and To The Moon. I don't know why I haven't finished Reccetear yet despite having owned it for ages. I think it's just because whilst the premise of the game is interesting, it's just not executed in a manner which holds my attention. Total contrast to To The Moon, which I went into with near to no idea what it was about and have been thoroughly enraptured by it. I'm taking it slowly as I get the impression it's a short game, and this has such a unique and tranquil atmosphere so I really want to savour this while it lasts. Great writing too - heartfelt and earnest when it needs to be, witty and geeky at the right times too. The fact it has the balls to go for a Doctor Who joke about him trying to get a piano into the TARDIS and pull it off is brilliant.

I don't play many games on my PC, but I'm really enjoying The Stanley Parable.
It is a crazy and funny deconstruction of the tropes of gaming, where disobeying the narrator results in all kinds of weirdness.
There's a free demo available, which contains precisely none of the content of the actual game lol.
I was thinking about picking up The Stanley Parable myself, glad you're enjoying it Axis.

Try the free demo first. It gives you a pretty good idea of the tone of the game. The whole thing is very "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" and might be an acquired taste.
Thanks for the heads-up, I'll do that then.

I was tempted by the Stanley Parable, but I've got so many games to play in my Steam account right now that it's not even funny.
I caved in and bought it last night. It's great. Laughed out loud at many moments and it never feels pretentious like some other indie games that try to be art do. Has a lot to say about parallels between choice in videogames and choice in real life, but I'll say no more. Play it.
Subject: Re: What are you playing on your computer? Sun 22 Dec 2013 - 0:42
Glad you're enjoying it. I was hesitant to say "buy it" because I recommended it to a friend, and.... they didn't "get" it. The Demo's worth playing too. Completely different from the actual game, but just as clever / amusing.

Couldn't watch those videos, but had a quick google and I didn't realise this is the next game BugBear are making! Been playing FlatOut Ultimate Carnage recently and it's the most fun I've had with an arcade racer this generation, and I've played a lot of those in the last 8 years.

Subject: Re: What are you playing on your computer? Tue 7 Jan 2014 - 11:06
Spec Ops: The Line is a game I think everyone should play (even if they're not into military shooters). However, explaining why would ruin the impact of the game.
Subject: Re: What are you playing on your computer? Mon 13 Jan 2014 - 14:30
Metal Gear Rising. I took a gamble due to its ridiculously high system requirements, but it runs like a dream on my Surface (I get 60 frames per second). I can only guess the requirements are so high (and nVidia-related) because it's an "NVidia: The way it's meant to be played" game. Sigh.
Subject: Re: What are you playing on your computer? Wed 15 Jan 2014 - 0:22
I played (and finished) Act 1 of Broken Age (the new adventure game from Double Fine). The game is gorgeous and the voice acting is top-notch. A couple of puzzles made me thing, but nothing too taxing (hopefully part 2 is more difficult).
The story is great. Especially the end, which I'll discuss in a spoiler box at a later date.
I'm very much looking forward to Act 2.
Subject: Re: What are you playing on your computer? Wed 15 Jan 2014 - 21:26
Started playing Fez. Have treated it as a platformer so far, and not looked at all of the cryptic puzzle aspects.
And MineCraft. STILL.
Skyrim... starting this just before uni started back was a MASSIVE mistake.

Seemed a bit generic to begin with, but I Worked out how to use the slow-mo properly and it's got a bit more interesting, gameplay-wise. A work colleague who played it previously praised it for its atmosphere, so there's that to look forward to.

It really does! Seems like something that'd be a blast in local multiplayer.

After breaking free of Skyrim's shackles, I decided to start Fallout New Vegas. There's a lot more emphasis on choice than in FO3, I'd forgotten about that aspect of the game.
I absolutely adore the faction system in New Vegas. The only aspects I think NV isn't as good as Fallout 3 is the soundtrack and lack of buildings to explore.
Yeah, going from Skyrim to New Vegas, the world is a lot more sparse than Skyrim. I do get that's meant to be the point, but even some ruins or something would have been nice to see.
Subject: Re: What are you playing on your computer? Tue 4 Feb 2014 - 19:45
New Vegas - what faction did you end up going with Andy, and anyone else who's played it? Or if you played it through multiple times which one was your first choice?
I ended up going with the Wild Card route. I ruled out the Legion immediately because of their dark ages view of women and the general slavery and barbarism, and I ruled out House because he was an insular autocratic dictator with no concern for anyone but himself and his holdings. I almost went NCR because they're the closest thing to a democracy in this, but they're too corrupt. I'm playing a good character, and I figure I can clear the Wasteland of trouble like the Legion and some of the gangs with little violence, and persuade the NCR to clear off peacefully too.

update 02/05/2016: hey hey here are the first few pictures of the event!
Words :) . .beautiful true words by Rish! I quote : "what an awesome weekend started Friday with Burning Mountain party where DJ Hamish was the highlight by a million miles proving why he has one of the best reputations in the scene, SecretSoma XXV was always going to be about Life Extension and they didn't disappoint WOW!!!!!!!!! totally smashed the dancefloor, It was so inspiring to play after them an experience i will treasure and learn from.
It did highlight a major flaw in the psy scene, how on earth are are Life Extension not headlining major festival instead we have well known names because they are safe and most are not really good enough and fail to deliver, the scene needs to open its eyes and its ears to what is around, there is some amazingly talented people in the scene Nikki S and NKore are 2 that spring to mind, i think that the underground scene in London is lucky to have such talented people play for them, the four acts i have mentioned here all have one thing in common they all display a genuine love and passion for the psy scene, its never about them its always about the music"
.. to bring you their first international live act the amazing Life Extension!! hailing from Paris Laurent and Olivier are one of the talented act in the scene.
To keep the international feel going they also have Dutch duo Lucid Spirit and Jakaan from Lucid Spirit Records.
More details to follow from friends who know you personally ..
Poundland sells a pack of 2 kites for 1 Pound. I'm looking for 400 kites but its not fun to just go buy them myself when we can alllll be a part of it. SOLIDARITY! The idea is to give them out to the refugee kids in the jungle and decorate the skies with awesome colors!!
Pleaseeeeeee bring me 2 kites!! It will cost you 1 pound! I really want to do this as a collective...a kind gesture by our community to celebrate childhood and our own inner child!
Please support my journey towards 400 kites above the Jungle!

At the Boym Institute we are coming out with new initiative: #WomeninBoym, which aims to show the activity of this – often less visible – half of society. We will write about what women think, say and do. We will also publicise what women are researching and writing. We have three main objectives.
Firstly, it is to draw attention to women's issues in Asia in their political, social, cultural and economic dimensions. We will publish interviews, articles and analyses on the situation of this half of society in Asian countries, as well as on the global stage more broadly.
Secondly, we want to support women in their activities in the field of political and social sciences, international relations and the interface between law and economics. We are particularly keen to increase the participation of women in public debates, broadcasts, journalism and the winder media world. We have repeatedly diagnosed the following problem within the framework of discussions within the Boym Institute: despite the large number of female experts in the field of international relations, political science, oriental studies, sociology and political science, there are still far fewer women than men in the public and private media.
Thirdly, we write about women so that our knowledge of their situation and problems can in future result in joint women's initiatives between Poland and Asia, in the area of entrepreneurship and on the level of cooperation between non-governmental organisations. Our writing is a form of action, and it is intended to encourage other actions.
Since its inception, the Boym Institute has sought to be an organisation that supports and motivates women to actively participate in the public debate on international affairs in Poland. We started with ourselves: we take care of the representation of women in the team as well as in the board.
We begin the #Women initiative with a series of articles, interviews and analyses, seeking to represent women living in Asian countries. Additionally, the main theme of the Boym's Quarterly No. 7, edited by Anna Grzywacz, Tomasz Augustyniak and Patrycja Pendrakowska, is women's issues in contemporary states in Asia. It is a reaction and response to discussions on the role of women and their rights in both Poland and Asia.

The dying Mekong and political impasse – an environmental disaster with hydropolitics in the background
The countries of the Indochinese Peninsula are struggling with the problem of the deteriorating state of the Mekong River, which scientists and publicists are increasingly boldly describing as an ecological disaster. Alongside climate change, existing hydropower plants and those under construction in China and Laos are among the greatest threats. These ventures deepen the regional dispute over a river crucial to communities of tens of millions of people.
Foreign Direct Investment in Vietnam
Thanks to continuous economic development, Vietnam attracts a record number of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The catalyst for such a strong growth of FDI in Vietnam is not only the ongoing trade war between the US and China, but also new international agreements.

"May you be the mother of a thousand sons" – the status of women in Indian society
The 1950 Indian Constitution introduced the principle of equal opportunities for gender equality, which grants women and men the same rights in family life, political, social and economic life. So why is it that nearly forty per cent of girls aged 15-17 do not attend school, the custom of dowry giving is still cultivated and prenatal sex selection is still a huge social problem?

Tbilisi is an ancient town, with so much history embedded in its beautiful architecture. Located on one of the main routes of the Great Silk Road, Tbilisi has been the spot where cultures from the east and the west have been merging for centuries, which in turn has created a unique atmosphere that you will not experience anywhere else. Visiting Tbilisi is definitely an unforgettable experience! Check out our suggestions on what to do with just 24 hours in the city.
Start your day off with breakfast at the bakery-café Entrée, located on Rustaveli Avenue, across from the Rustaveli Theatre. You can take a seat by the window, order a sandwich or croissant with coffee, and just people-watch as locals rush about on their way to work.
After you've loaded up on caffeine, take a taxi up to Kartlis Deda, or the Mother of Georgia statue. From here, you can walk straight up, where you'll be treated to amazing views of the entire town. You can also walk down to Narikala Fortress, the fortification that dates back to the 4th century.
From the fortress, turn right and follow the stairs, where you'll end up at the mosque. If you follow the narrow but beautiful streets, you'll arrive in Abanotubani, which is known as the sulphur bath district. If you want to take a sulphur bath, we recommend booking a private room at Samepo Bathhouse.
Afterwards, you can cross the Metekhi Bridge and visit the Metekhi Church, and then cross the bridge again to visit the synagogue and Sioni Cathedral. Coming out of the yard of Sioni Cathedral, you can continue on to Erekle 2nd Street, pass by the Peace Bridge, and follow the narrow alley that leads to Anchiskhati Church. It's the oldest church in Tbilisi, and dates back to the 5th century.
Next to the church you'll find a cosy and interesting café called Gabriadze, which even has a puppet theatre! If you walk along Shavteli Street to its very end, turn left and continue along Pushkini Street, you'll find Shemoikhede Genatsvale, a nice restaurant that's definitely worth stopping at for lunch. Here you'll be able to try famous Georgian dishes like khinkali (dumplings), khachapuri (cheese bread, which is sometimes referred to as Georgian pizza), kababi with cheese, eggplants with walnuts, and soko ketze sulgunit (mushroom on a clay plate with Sulguni cheese).
After lunch, head to Freedom Square and take a right. Once again, follow Rustaveli Avenue and you'll come up to the Museum of Georgia. The Archaeological Golden Treasury in the basement is a must-visit, as are pretty much all of the other exhibits. If you're particularly interested in the Russian occupation, those exhibits are on the third floor, while the second floor houses temporary art exhibitions.
After visiting the museum, continue walking along Rustaveli Avenue, passing by the cinema, Parliament, a school, the Kashueti Church, and the National Gallery. If you are fond of art, a trip to the National Gallery should definitely be on your list, as you'll find masterpieces by famous Georgian artists.
If you continue along the street, you'll see the Marriott Hotel — just before the hotel, turn right. Follow Chanturia Street till the very end and turn right, and then left. You'll find yourself at the Dry Bridge Open Air Flea Market.
At this market you'll find a variety of things, like antique items and paintings. Take a wander around — you never know, you might find something that interests you!
If you're feeling a little parched, then we're guessing your body has figured out it's teatime! Visit Art-Cafe HOME located at 13 Betlemi Street (just a 10-minute walk from Freedom Square).
Bored and looking to kill some time? Consider taking a sulphur water bath and getting a refreshing massage before dinner!
For dinner, definitely visit the traditional restaurant Meidani, located in the Old Town, on 6 Rkinis Rigi Street. Here you can try more traditional dishes like pkhali (a dish made up of an assortment of chopped and minced veggies), chakapuli (veal/lamb stew with wild plums), chicken in blackberry sauce, or shkmerui (chicken in garlic sauce).
If you're looking for after-dinner drinks, hit up ole MacLaren's Irish Pub, located just next to the Maidani restaurant. They have good beer and great live music from Wednesday to Saturday.
Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, may be 1,500 years old, but it's far from being stuck in the past. Hop on a locally led tour to discover all there is in this multicultural city that boasts old markets and modern buildings, ancient laneways and crowded streets.

My choices of lenses I use for weddings and why.
This video is showing you the lenses I choose to shoot with at weddings and detailing why I choose to use them.
This video is detailing on setting up the Godox AD200 especially with off camera flash.
The Live View or WYSIWYG – What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get view, is one of the great advantages of capturing images with a mirrorless camera.
When capturing images with a DSLR the 'optical view' is not what the camera records. There are instances when the WYSIWYG view of a mirrorless camera is NOT what you want to see, e.g. when you are shooting in a dark studio and using off-camera flash.
In this situation if you do not adjust your Setting Effect option in the menu, then all you will see is darkness, which will make it difficult or impossible to frame or focus on your subject.


Kek was a primordial Egyptian god, one of eight Egyptian deities composing the ogdoad in the Hermopolitan Theological System who represented chaos. His consort was Keket. He is one of the four masculine deities who had heads of frogs representing their apparent self-creation. When paired with Keket, the pair epitomized the primordial darkness. Anthropomorphized as a baboon he is depicted as greeting the rising sun. A.G.H.


Putin's order was "a claim to the lands of other nations," Muzhenko said.
A top Ukrainian military officer has condemned an order by Russian President Vladimir Putin to name several Russian military units after cities and other places in Ukraine.
General Viktor Muzhenko's comments on July 3 were the latest in a growing number of critical responses to Putin's decree, as reported by Radio Liberty.
Putin's decrees gave a number of regiments and divisions in the Russian armed forces honorary names that hark back to World War II.
Putin's order was "a claim to the lands of other nations," Muzhenko wrote on Facebook on July 3.
"With these decisions Russians continue their old tradition – to steal others' history and glory. That is a clear signal to the world that the aggressor does not plan to limit itself with Donbas [eastern Ukraine] and Crimea," wrote Muzhenko, who is the chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' General Staff.
According to the Kremlin, the renaming decrees are intended "to preserve glorious military and historic traditions, and to nurture loyalty to the fatherland and military duty among the military personnel."
The Soviet victory in World War II has always been a venerated holiday, including after the Soviet breakup, and Ukraine, like Russia, has honored its war veterans and victims.
But the Kremlin in recent years has embraced nostalgia of the war victory to a larger degree, using it in part to demonize Ukraine after the 2014 Euromaidan protests and to help justify the annexation of Ukraine's Crimea Peninsula.
Under the decrees, the 933rd Missile Regiment is now called the Upper Dnieper Regiment, after the river in Ukraine. The 6th Tank Regiment is now called the Lvov Regiment and the 68th Tank Regiment the Zhitomir-Berlin Regiment and the 163rd Tank Regiment is called the Nezhin Regiment.
The decrees all use Russian spellings of the Ukrainian names, which in Ukrainian are Lviv, Zhytomyr, and Nizhyn.
In 1944, Stalin named the 93rd Tank Brigade after Zhytomyr for the city's role in World War II. The brigade was later reformed into the 68th Tank Regiment, then dissolved after the Soviet collapse. The regiment was reestablished last year, a development that caught the attention of military historians.
In addition, Russian Army regiments were renamed after the Belarusian cities of Vitsebsk, Kobryn, and Slonim as well as Warsaw, Berlin, and Romania's Transylvania region.
Russia's actions in Ukraine have also deepened concerns in Belarus, Poland, and other ex- Soviet and Soviet bloc countries about Moscow's intentions, and the moves have also badly damaged ties with the European Union and the United States.


Dan Gillmor doing an inspiring speech about the citizen journalism movement.
Two great conference days in lovely Copenhagen at Reboot10.
It was an inspiring event with a great crowd, but my focus here will be on the conference format and organisation, adding to my previous posts on how to organise internet-focused conferences.
Reboot is a very different type of conference compared to for example SIME in Sweden and LeWeb in Paris. Reboot is much simpler and more improvised, taking place in a public sports hall. The Reboot website is one of the worst conference sites I have ever seen, confusing and very hard to navigate and lacking even very basic information.
But Reboot more than compensates for this with lots of Danish charm and very warm reception by the energetic staff. One very smart move was to organise a free boat sightseeing tour for all the attendees the evening before the event. We cruised around the canals, sipping free sparkling wine and landed on a very cosy open air bar/restaurant. Great networking and setting a good mood for the event! See my photos.
The focus at Reboot is less about internet business opportunities and more about trend watching in all possible directions combined with broadening the mind on social and other issues. I like it as an alternative to all the business idea and startup conferences I am attending!
One thing about Reboot that struck me as strange was, considering the youthful and non-traditional setup, that the speaker selection suffered from the same syndrome as most other business internet conferences: all white, all males, many Americans. All the male, white Americans speaking at Reboot had interesting things to convey, but especially Reboot would benefit from more women on stage and more speakers of different ages and multinational backgrounds. As Nicholas Negroponte says: "Creativity comes from difference!".
Reboot should also be more interactive and participatory. There was no interaction or forums with attendees on the web site, the moderators did not use the backchannels to get feedback from the audience and Q & As were forbidden during the sessions. Internet today is about collaboration, sharing, and creating value and knowledge together. This conference should reflect that not only in the content of the speeches but in the way it is organised.
But in summary: Reboot was great and I hope to see you all there again next year!
