STATE HOUSE – Rep. Teresa Tanzi and Sen. Cynthia A. Coyne were joined by public safety advocates today in support of their legislation to prohibit gun possession by those subject to domestic violence protective orders and to allow courts to ban domestic abusers from having guns.
Members of the Rhode Island chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, part of Everytown for Gun Safety, joined the sponsors in a news conference on the legislation and lobbied lawmakers to support the legislation (2015-S 0503, 2015-H 5655).
The bill would require courts to order the surrender of firearms by those who are subject to a restraining order for domestic abuse for as long as the restraining order is in effect. It would also prohibit a restrained person from purchasing, receiving, or attempting to purchase or receive a firearm during that time. Additionally, it would allow the courts to prohibit domestic abusers from having guns. The bill also tightens up the language of existing law, requiring specifically that guns be surrendered to the Rhode Island State Police, local police departments or a licensed gun dealer.
In April, Everytown for Gun Safety Action fund and Rhode Island Moms Demand Action released a poll showing that four out of five Rhode Islanders support the change the bill would make.
At the news conference in support of the bill, the sponsors and the organization were joined by Lieutenant Governor Daniel McKee as well as Barrington resident Laura Hastings, a survivor of domestic violence.
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is a grassroots movement of American mothers started after the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School to fight for public safety measures that respect the Second Amendment and protect people from gun violence. Everytown is the largest gun violence prevention organization in the country with more than 2.5 million supporters and more than 40,000 donors including moms, mayors, survivors and everyday Americans.

Q: Substring out of bounds exception with NSMakeRange When looping through, making a substring of every letter in a NSString, this exception is thrown:
-[__NSCFString substringWithRange:]: Range or index out of bounds

Code:
- (void) analyzeContent:(NSString *)content
{
    content = [content uppercaseString];
    for (int i = 1; i < content.length; i++) {
        NSString *ch = [content substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(i-1, i)]; // <-- exception
    }
}

Called from here:
- (IBAction)analyze:(id)sender
{
    if (!self.text) {
        NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:CYPHERTEXT_FILE
                                                         ofType:@"txt"];
        self.text = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:path
                                              encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding
                                                 error:NULL];
    }

    [self.progIndicator setHidden:NO];
    [self.progIndicator startAnimation:nil];
    dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_queue_create("queue", 0);
    dispatch_async(queue, ^{

        [self.analyzer analyzeContent:self.text];

        // When finished update UI
        dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            [self.progIndicator setHidden:YES];
            [self.progIndicator stopAnimation:nil];
        });
    });
}

text-property declaration is: @property (copy) NSString *text;
The exception is thrown when i = 13172 and content.length = 26344.
The code is run in a background thread, but content is not accessed by any other thread.
Thank you for any help!

A: The problem was:
I though the NSMakeRange took the parameters index-from and index-to. It actually takes index-from and length of substring, so when the iteration passed the half way mark (see question), it goes out of bounds.
Silly...

A: Your code:
for (int i = 1; i < content.length; i++) {
            NSString *ch = [content substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(i-1, i)]; // <-- exception
        }

initially i =1,then it takes 2,3,4,5,6.... and crashes
try like this,
NSString *ch = [content substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(i-1, 1)];

Aim is to reduce need for Foreign Sports Talent, hints Chan
LONDON - Singapore's national table tennis team has consistently produced results on the biggest stages, including the Olympics, with the women's team winning a bronze medal in London yesterday.
However, the Singapore Table Tennis Association (STTA), which runs the national side, have also often drawn public flak for a perceived over-reliance on their Foreign Sports Talent (FST) scheme despite having a number of talent identification programmes at grassroots level.
While there are no plans for the controversial scheme to be re-looked, Acting Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) Chan Chun Sing has hinted at the aim of eventually reducing the need for it.
"It depends on which sports we're talking about. For the FST scheme, different sports will have different needs," said Mr Chan.
"Our aim is for them to catalyse the development of the sports and, over time, when these sports mature and we have more Singaporeans joining the ranks of these respective sports, we will see an evolution of the scheme in the respective sports."
He added: "We definitely want to have our system groom a core of Singaporean talent in the respective sports. That will be how we go forward."
First introduced as the Rainbow Scheme in 1993, it eventually evolved into the FST scheme with the primary aim of recruiting good quality talent as a catalyst to boost the standards of Singapore athletes.
Since then, more than 50 athletes in over five sports have come through the system.
Ten of Singapore's 23 athletes competing in nine sports at the London Olympics were part of the FST, including table-tennis player Feng Tianwei who clinched the bronze medal in the women's singles last Wednesday.
Mr Chan was speaking at a Team Singapore dinner at the Millennia Gloucester Hotel in central London on Monday night (yesterday morning, Singapore time) to celebrate the athletes' participation in the London Olympics and to mark Singapore's 47th National Day tomorrow.
Those present included paddlers Gao Ning, Yang Zi and Zhan Jian, sprinter Gary Yeo, hurdler Dipna Lim-Prasad, shuttler Yao Lei and gymnast Lim Heem Wei, chef-de-mission Jessie Phua, Singapore Sports Council Chief Executive Lim Teck Yin, International Olympic Committee Vice-President Ng Ser Miang and Singapore's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, T Jasudasen.
Mr Chan also spoke about Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's announcement last week that sports would be moved to the new Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) from Nov 1 onwards.
The development has caused some concern within the sporting fraternity. As the word "sports" will not be in the new Ministry's name, questions have been raised over whether there will be less priority for sports in Singapore.
But Mr Chan, who said Singapore can learn a lot from London's organising of the Olympics, stressed that sports will not be pushed down the pecking order. "Sports will be in good hands," he said.
"We will in no way underplay the role of sports, we will continue in our journey of sports, both as a pursuit of individual excellence, while using sports as a way to bond the community and to inspire the nation. That will not change.
"The Vision 2030 plan has been developed by all the stakeholders involved, so it goes beyond any personnel change in the Ministry.
"I am quietly confident that with the support of the stakeholders from the private, public and people sectors, sports will be in good shape."

As Governor Peter Obi Did Not Allow LP Campaign Freely In Anambra —
Governor of Anambra State, Southeast nigeria, Chukwuma Soludo has accused his predecessor, Peter Obi, of denying the Labour Party (LP) the opportunity to freely campaign in the state when he was governor.
Lifestyle Nigeria reports that Soludo spoke in an interview on Channels Television.
During the interview, the Anambra governor was asked to react to allegations from LP leaders that the state government is restricting the party in terms of political campaigns.
Reacting, Soludo said he had twice granted Obi, LP presidential candidate, the opportunity to use government properties in the state for the campaign.
Soludo said, "It does not worth my time to comment on the rantings of some people — about their billboards or no billboards and so on.
"I don't want to be drawn into that. I think that has been exhaustively dealt with by the government and the Anambra state signage agency that regulates this.
"The point that was repeated is that the signage agency had commended me for being the most the tolerant governor as it regards free and fair electoral practice.
"It is on record and everybody knows that I have twice granted the presidential candidate of the Labour Party to use government properties — government house — for his campaign without charging him a penny.
"Nobody has done that. He did not do that when he was in government. He did not even allow Labour Party, where he is now, to freely campaign in Anambra. He denied them even the venue that they paid for.
"But I have allowed him to use the government house twice free of charge. They were in Onitsha to go and campaign. They have their billboards all over the place but the point is when you failed to play by the rule, you put up billboards and you don't pay for the relevant things. Of course, the signage agency will come after you.
"Even yesterday, I heard a complaint they pulled down even the billboard of an APGA candidate for a federal house. He has not paid and they pulled it down. This is the state's rule of law.
"Even when they said their billboards were pulled down, you go all over the state, the billboards are lining up everywhere, where they have met the terms and conditions for that.
"They want some kind of entitlement. We can't continue to give them everything for free. PDP, APC, and others are not complaining. Why only them?"

Q: Getting all Free Shipping Zones include the default Zone "Rest of the World" I want to get all data (zone_name, zone_id) when have free shipping zone. I have used :
$delivery_zones = WC_Shipping_Zones::get_zones();
foreach ((array) $delivery_zones as $key => $the_zone ) {
  echo $the_zone['zone_name'];
}
print_r($delivery_zones);

but It always return the result without Rest of the World . How I can get all data with all Free Shipping zones ?

A: I got your answer after some search in the official thread related to WC 2,6+ and Shipping default Zone and also in the source code of WC_Shipping_Zone class. You learn that the default class has an ID = 0.
I have tried this first:
$default_zone = new WC_Shipping_Zone(0);
print_r($default_zone);

And I got this array:

WC_Shipping_Zone Object ( [_data:protected] => Array ( [zone_id] => 0 [zone_name] => Rest of the World [zone_order] => 0 [zone_locations] => Array ( ) ) [_locations_changed:WC_Shipping_Zone:private] => [_cache_group:protected] => [_meta_type:protected] => post [object_id_field_for_meta:protected] => [_meta_data:protected] => Array ( ) [_internal_meta_keys:protected] => Array ( ) )

Bingo 1! the data is there  and I get the default Shipping Zone Object, but it is protected and not accessible through a foreach loop or something else…
If you look to WC_Shipping_Zone you see tha it extends WC_Data class.
So I have tried to use WC_Data methods with that object, this way:
$default_zone = new WC_Shipping_Zone(0);
$default_zone_data = $default_zone->get_data();
print_r($default_zone_data);

Bingo 2!!! it outputs the sam array but this time is no protected and accessible.
So the answer is:
$default_zone = new WC_Shipping_Zone(0);
$default_zone_data = $default_zone->get_data();

$default_zone_id = $default_zone_data->zone_id;
$default_zone_order = $default_zone_data-> zone_order;
$default_zone_locations = $default_zone_data-> zone_locations;
$default_zone_meta_data = $default_zone_data-> meta_data;

// AND TO FINISH THE THE NAME!!!
$default_zone_name = $default_zone_data->zone_name;

echo $default_zone_name;

The output of echo $default_zone_name is Rest of the World (re-bingo !!!)…
The you can use also other WC_Data and WC_Shipping_Zone methods to get the needed data:
$default_zone = new WC_Shipping_Zone(0);
$default_zone_formatted_location = $default_zone->get_formatted_location();
$default_zone_shipping_methods = $default_zone->get_shipping_methods();

// And so on …

A: thank for answer of @LoicTheAztec . after read him answer, I have found the way to result. here is all:
    $zones = array();

    // Rest of the World zone
    $zone                                                   = new \WC_Shipping_Zone( 0 );
    $zones[$zone->get_zone_id()]                            = $zone->get_data();
    $zones[$zone->get_zone_id()]['formatted_zone_location'] = $zone->get_formatted_location();
    $zones[$zone->get_zone_id()]['shipping_methods']        = $zone->get_shipping_methods();

    // Add user configured zones
    $zones = array_merge( $zones, WC_Shipping_Zones::get_zones() );
    foreach ( $zones as $each_zone ) {
        $zone_name            = $each_zone['zone_name'];
        $shipping_methods     = $each_zone['shipping_methods'];
        $arr_shipping_methods = json_decode( json_encode( $shipping_methods ), true );
        foreach ( $arr_shipping_methods as $free_shipping ) {
            if ( $free_shipping['id'] == 'free_shipping' ) {
                $zone_id = $each_zone['zone_id'];
            } else {
                echo '';
            }
        }

    }

What to watch for in the LDP leadership race
Published : 09 Sep 2020 08:48 PM | Updated : 10 Sep 2020 01:22 AM
The Liberal Democratic Party leadership race is now set, and the three runners are at their marks. Granted, with five of seven factions backing him and an election engineered to handicap one of the candidates, Chief Cabinet Secretary YoshihideSuga is already well ahead of the pack.
With Suga's assured victory, we now have a clearer outlook of Japan's political landscape for the next twelve months. However, while many are hoping this party election will put an end to Japan's leadership debate, the LDP's actions these past few weeks reveal that victory in this month's race only represents the first hurdle, not the finish line.
There are a number of important factors that will immediately influence Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's successor. The fact that this party presidential term comes with a one-year expiry means that all prime minister-hopefuls will once again be looking to take on the country's top job come September 2021.
Suga may have the factional backing now, but no such guarantee exists for next year.
There is also the issue of the Lower House election. The term for the House of Representatives is set to end in December 2021, meaning that the new prime minister will either have to call a snap election sometime during his first term, or that it will have to come after the next LDP presidential election in September 2021.
The party will be watching closely to see if the winner of this LDP leadership race (i.e. Suga), will be able to cultivate the kind of support necessary to ensure the LDP-Komeito coalition can at least maintain a stable majority in the Lower House.
Then there are all the challenges looming large — namely COVID-19, an economic recession, and the Tokyo Olympics — meaning the prime minister will have to do many things to have any hope of making himself irreplaceable come next September.
He will have to run the government effectively, engineer enough of a recovery to maintain public confidence in the administration, and keep the LDP wolves at bay by managing intraparty politics. Meanwhile, any politicians hoping to succeed in September 2021 will have to remain posturing.
Given all of this, there are four things to watch in this leadership race and the immediate aftermath to get a better idea of Japan's near-term political landscape.
Vote tallies
The first is the vote count in this leadership race.
Although Suga is a shoo-in, the amount of votes that former Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba and former Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida can garner will indicate their respective shelf lives as viable prime ministerial candidates.
If all the members of factions vote down factional lines, then the baseline tallies for each of the candidates would be 268 votes for Suga, 47 for Kishida, and 19 for Ishiba.
The next step is looking at how many votes on top of those numbers each of the candidates receive out of the 535 total. This is important because the critical number is not the total votes each candidate gets, but the number of votes above what we expect from factional tallies.
For example, let's assume Suga receives 418 votes, Ishiba 57 votes, and Kishida, 60. For the uninitiated, that would seem that Ishiba and Kishida were largely on par with each other. In reality, 50-60 votes for Ishiba means that he received upwards of 25 percent of the prefectural votes despite having the deck stacked against him. This would indicate that he still commands enough support from prefectural voters to make him a threat come next September. Meanwhile, if Kishida only walks away with 50-60 votes, it means he is barely getting more than his own faction and will have to make major moves if he has any hope of becoming prime minister.
Cabinet and LDP leadership appointments
The second thing to watch is the composition of the Cabinet and LDP leadership billets.
Seeing who makes it into these postings will reveal much about the behind-the-scenes machinations within the LDP. Traditionally, the prime minister apportions Cabinet appointments based on factional end-strengths.
In other words, if a faction has 25 percent of the LDP's sitting Diet members, it receives about 25 percent of the postings. Of course, rivals tend to get a lower percentage and allies tend to get more, so it will be fairly easy to discern who Suga considers friends and enemies inside the LDP based on Cabinet postings alone.
The Cabinet and LDP leadership appointments are also important because they will influence the prospects of future would-be government leaders. We should observe where prime minister-hopefuls like Taro Kono and ToshimitsuMotegi fall in the pecking order. The most important position to watch is the one Suga currently inhabits: the Chief Cabinet Secretary. This is the prime minister's de facto number two, and the role includes the herculean responsibilities of both managing the Cabinet and serving as the administration's spokesperson. Whomever receives that position will be postured well to move up the line-of-succession.
Public approval
In Japan, public approval is political capital, and the first public opinion poll following the formation of the new Cabinet will be telling. It will inform the prime minister just how much wiggle room he has in executing a policy agenda. As I have described before, a 20 to 30 percent public approval rating is the danger zone, 30 to 40 percent is the caution zone, 40 to 50 percent is the comfort zone, and above 50 percent is the command zone. Traditionally, prime ministers tend to start with relatively high public approval ratings (Abe commanded more than 60 percent public approval in 2012 when he started his tenure), but the manner in which the LDP conducts this transition of power will likely temper public support for Abe's successor.
Whether good, bad, or indifferent, polling will inform the LDP on what the public thought of the intraparty politics that rendered the outcome it did. The LDP still has to engineer a snap election sometime between now and the end of 2021, so it will be cognizant of whether its internal moves will compel voters to support the opposition in the next Lower House election.
Although it seems paradoxical, both low and high public opinion polls could influence a snap election before year's end. The administration's justification for the election would be to validate the LDP's choice for prime minister. If poll numbers are exceptionally low owing to the way the LDP handled the transition, the snap election would be cast as granting voters the decision on whether to deliver a mandate to the new prime minister. If the poll numbers are high, the LDP may seek to ride that wave while the opposition is still coalescing.
It is important to note here that while one must always keep an eye on the potential for a snap election, one must also remember that the LDP's junior coalition partner has a say. No matter what the public polling may be, the Komeito is unenthusiastic of executing a snap election amidst a pandemic, so the LDP will have an additional hurdle in convincing them that the timing is right.
Emergence of policy platforms
The last thing to observe is policy platform building. Many may be wondering why this is not the first thing to watch. In part, it is because this race is a foregone conclusion, but it is also because the time is so short between Abe's resignation announcement and the actual leadership election that no candidate can adequately build and communicate a fully-formed, implementable platform. Certainly, we have already seen minimanifestos from Suga, Kishida, and Ishiba, but their audience is targeted and time limited. So, even though the candidates are issuing campaign pledges, understand that many of these are trial balloons for a platform that will mature over the course of the next year until the next party leadership poll. It will be important to observe the evolution of the respective platforms.
At the same time, the major candidates who sat this race out will be formulating their long-term policy positions. While they will respect the party boundaries, politicians like Kono and Motegi may make notable remarks during Diet sessions, private conferences, and public speeches that offer windows into their policy preferences. The important questions to ask are how far are they straying from the party line; in other words, will they be vying for the continuity pledge or the reform vote?
There will be a lot of reporting on the leadership election, and many pages of commentary and analysis to sift through. Keeping these four things in mind will help make sense of it all as we will soon be seeing every one of the LDP's prime minister-hopefuls settle in for the marathon that they have begun.

Different Styles of Athletic Supporters
by Teresa Bergen

What Do Rugby Players Wear?
What Do Hurdlers Wear?
Different Ways of Placing Fingers in a Baseball Glove
Boys who played sports used to routinely wear a basic athletic supporter, also known as a jock strap. But now athletic supporters are more confusing. While styles have proliferated, many young men don't think an athletic supporter is even necessary. Health professionals also dispute the traditional claims that an athletic supporter will protect you from a hernia. It's not surprising that many young athletes don't know if they should wear an athletic supporter and, if so, which style.
Several people claim credit for inventing the athletic supporter. One was a Finnish athlete named Parvo Nakacheker. Another is the BIKE Athletic Company, which claimed the jock strap was invented in 1874 to protect the genitals of bicycle riders in Boston, which was paved with uneven cobblestones. In 1927, Guelph Elastic Hosiery, a Canadian company, introduced a hard protective cup to the athletic supporter. Another innovation, which fortunately didn't catch on, was the Heidelberg Electric Belt, an electrified jock strap which claimed to cure kidney disorders, impotence and insomnia. Nowadays, the athletic supporter march of progress continues, with new styles, materials and colors.
Design and Fit
Athletic supporters are designed to support, lift and hold the testes against a man's body, and to generally protect a sensitive area from pain and injury. Traditionally, athletic supporters have either a 1-inch waistband, also called swimmer style, or a 3-inch waistband. Waistbands on athletic supporters are usually wider than those on briefs. An elasticized pouch cradles the genitalia. Two straps attached to the pouch pass between your legs, run across your buttocks and rejoin at the waistband. Jockstraps can be difficult to size, as your waist and your genitalia might not be proportional. If the pouch is too snug, you'll have to go up a size. This might necessitate taking in the waistband. The leg straps need to be tight enough to stay in place without twisting or rolling. You can choose between jock straps with or without a hard plastic cup inside the pouch. The cup is an extra protective measure.
Other Types of Athletic Supporters
Instead of the old two-strap supporter, thongs are now available, in which the single thong goes between your buttocks. The slingshot style lacks straps attached to the pouch, instead relying on the weight of the testicles to stay in place, which means things can easily become dislodged. Suspensories hold the testicles, but the penis hangs free. BIKE Athletic is updating the supporter's appearance with new products that look more like boxers and briefs. You can also buy high-fashion jock straps of dubious sports use with silk or fishnet pouches.
Different Support for Different Sports
The most important choice is whether or not you need the protective cup. If you're engaged in a contact sport, such as football, rugby, soccer or hockey, the cup can protect you against the aggression of your opponents. If you simply need support, as for running or rollerblading, a supporter without cups will work.
As jock straps have declined in popularity, compression shorts have come into vogue. The stretchy material holds groin, abdomen and upper leg muscles in place. Compression shorts cost twice as much as athletic supporters, but some athletes find them more comfortable and more attractive than the old straps. Athletes also layer for support. For example, a football player may wear multiple pairs of underwear, or put a hard cup over his compression shorts.
Protective Gear for Women
Women are more prominent in sports than they used to be, a fact which manufacturers have not missed. An athletic supporter called the jill strap gives ladies a protective cup of their own. The garment fits like a pair of briefs, and is good for women who play contact sports such as hockey.

Q: subprocess.call and tar -zxvf I am trying to call this command tar -zxvf file.tar.gz from a python script and I'm having trouble with it. I've read some relevant q/a's but I still haven't figured out how to do it.
I was thinking to fit my code to the original command:
subprocess.check_call(args, *, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, shell=False)

So far I've made several attempts, as shown below
stdin = file.tar.gz
subprocess.check_call(-zxvf, stdin)

Any help? Thanks.

A: You can untar a file using the tarfile module
import tarfile
tar = tarfile.open("sample.tar.gz")

PC Versus Console Gaming: The Advantages of Each Platform
Gaming is a pastime that changed drastically over the years. The industry used to be in colossal arcade rooms that enthusiasts had to visit to play. Over time video games became compact enough to fit consoles in the living room. Now they are accessible on PCs and can even fit in laptops or mobile devices.
Consoles are powerful machines that merely require a power source and screen to play video games. The dedicated machines can also be used as media centers that connect to the internet for streaming purposes. PCs leverage their innate CPU and graphic power to deliver a gaming experience. A user can play games using an average PC, buy a gaming PC, or components to build a PC that fits their gaming needs.
Games have also evolved as a fun and entertaining activity for families. At each stage of development, the gaming industry has become more accessible and easier to play. New technologies make it easier to build games, so it's no longer a niche market dominated by a few players. Choosing the best way to game, whether through PC or consoles, ultimately depends on your personal preferences.
PC Versus Console
The initial setup costs are cheaper with console games compared to PC gaming. A console can cost approximately $500, and it will be bundled with controllers, accessories, and games. A PC can cost double or more, and it doesn't usually come with bundled goods.
Over time, you can extend a PC's lifespan with component upgrades or replacement parts. If you search for PC repair near me, you will find plenty of service providers. On the other hand, consoles are not as easy to fix or upgrade, once it becomes dated, you will need to replace it. Every new generation of games requires a new console, while PCs only need upgrades.
Game developers are using the internet to enhance the pc or console gaming experience, but PC gaming has more options for online gaming. Most massive multiplayer online (MMO) games are designed for the PC. PC gamers also have more options to play Multi-User Dungeon (MUD), browser games, email games, digitally distributed games, or downloadable games.
Gaming is simpler to set up and easier to participate in using a console. When you get a console, you merely plug it in to play and have a handful of buttons to master. A PC requires configuring the graphics, input, and network settings which can become a hassle. Additionally, the controls on PC games are more expansive and take longer to learn.
PCs are also more versatile than consoles. A console performs one task well, but a PC can offer you more in the form of entertainment, work, and other tasks. Although consoles are trying to add more features, they still can't be as flexible as PCs.
Consoles are mostly a closed community. Games are available for one type of console; if you have a PlayStation, most of the time, you can only play with other PlayStation owners, even over the internet. A PC, on the other hand, doesn't restrict you according to brands.
The Future of Gaming
The future of gaming is exciting. With network infrastructure technology improving in 5G, ultra-wideband fiber, and satellite compute, on-demand games from a data center will enable gamers to stream games from any screen. You can also expect the unification of the gaming industry with streaming; console wars will be a thing of the past as you can play whomever, wherever you please.
Other technologies like machine learning, AI, and natural language will also bring new gaming experiences. For example, you will be able to have real conversations with gaming characters who will remember your character and its history. Real-time tracking will bring more photorealism to games, such that it will be hard to distinguish it from reality.
As headsets become lighter, user-friendly, and affordable, virtual reality (VR) will become accessible. Current strategy games or platformers will benefit from VR as they will have new control possibilities and free, independently handled cameras. Advancements in streaming will also make it a less cumbersome option, as users no longer need powerful machines on-site. Instead of overlooking the game, why not go to the ground level and walk around the world you created?
Enjoy the Choice
Gaming is an ever-expanding world, with exciting new methods of playing and stories on the horizon. Your option will depend on your budget, gaming intensity, and what others in your circle have. Whatever your choice, enjoy your hobby.

This is good advice when dealing with any salesperson, but especially the case when looking to buy a brand new home. It will almost certainly limit your ability to get a discount, stamp duty paid or "free" extras like carpets as part of the deal. Do not get carried away, try to look for reasons NOT to buy.
This is the term used to describe the access route to and from the show houses. The show houses are fenced in so that they can only be accessed via the sales centre (aka marketing suite). This means you are first 'qualified' by the sales advisor before you see the show homes and on your return, the sales advisor can ask you further questions. It also makes it more difficult (but not unheard of) for anyone to steal items from the show homes.
The sales advisor selling you a new home.
These people are not your friend! They want and need you to buy so they can get their commission. Commission on sales is the all they are interested in. See the youtube video below, it may be from the US but people like this work in UK house builder's marketing suites!
When asked, it is important to be vague and not give any information away. If you are pressed never give you real name and address, especially if you are what sales staff refer to as "rubber-neckers" and are only looking. If you give your telephone number and address you could be pestered. Never give away your current circumstances. These details are used in weekly and monthly reports sent to the builder's offices. Even if you are not a serious buyer, you could be unwittingly giving the house builder free market research.
"Qualifying" is the term used to find out how serious a sales prospect you actually are. Questions like "Have you got a place to sell? Is it on the market? What stage is the sale at? Do you have a mortgage arranged?" are all qualifying questions asked by the sales advisor to access your potential as a buyer.
If you say you have nothing to sell and already have a mortgage arranged, or are a cash buyer, the sales advisor will follow you around the show homes like a puppy!
Ask for a copy of the Code. It details 19 requirements to ensure house builders treat buyers fairly and do not make misleading statements. You should record your conversations with the Sales Advisor(s) to support and confirm any claim you make at a later date. Builders are required, under 1.2 of the Code, to give you a copy free of charge. Read it thoroughly BEFORE RESERVING any new home.
The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 and the Business Protection from Misleading Marketing Regulations 2008 are there to protect buyers and have largely replaced the Property Misdescriptions Act 1992, making it a criminal offence to make false or misleading statements. It is therefore against the law for sales advisors or any brochure to mislead or make false declarations. If the sales advisors do not know the answer to your question, they should say so and not just guess. If they give you incorrect information (whether knowingly or not) they could be personally prosecuted as well as their employer. Even so, it is vital that everything you are told about specific questions is written down or confirmed in writing. You should also not take everything you are told a face value, they want the sale after all. In short, trust no one!
Sales advisors are in a great position to suggest or "recommend" the services of many outside organisations. They will do this because they receive commission from these companies or another form of gratuity.
You should never use the same solicitor as the house builder or any solicitor they recommend. Your legal representative must be 100% independent and act in your interests not those of the house builder. It is a breach of 2.5 of the Consumer Code to require a buyer to use a builder nominated solicitor. Quite a few do and are in breach of Code requirements.
Mortgage brokers, surveyors, carpet contractors, TV aerial installers, garden landscapers and various tradesmen. Whilst they may be perfectly reliable, you should make you own enquiries and get at least three quotations.
More advice on the do's and don'ts when visiting a sales centre and the questions you should ask before reserving.
Visiting a Sales Centre or marketing suite.
You would think that visiting a development to look at new homes should be relatively straightforward. But if you are not prepared, you may have to disclose all sorts of personal information before you even get near the show homes.
Amazingly even in a property slump, some house builders are suggesting you need to pre book an appointment to view their show homes. This can only be to ensure a sales advisor accompanies you. He or she can then turn your negatives into positives and give you the hard sell and gather information more casually. However, you should be able to just turn up, as the sales advisor will know that you are unlikely to return, having had one wasted visit. No new home is that good!

'Unfortunate' China tried to cover up the genesis of coronavirus
It's "unfortunate" that China covered up cases of the novel coronavirus when the disease was in its early stages, according to Labor senator Kimberley Kitching. Early data from from the province of Wuhan has indicated the disease may have been known to Chinese authorities authorities as early as October 2019. Senator Kitching told Sky News authorities could have handled this outbreak better if they had known about the novel pathogen earlier. "We could have had a better response much earlier," she said.

Sudan Violence Education
Sudan Violence Education. Adam Bales. VOA News
In this region of Sudan, South Kordofan, school dropouts are at an all-time high. Schools were destroyed during the 2 years' civil war between the government and Sudan's rebel forces. Adam Bales, a journalist, visited the Nuba Mountains region and reports that many children are simply too scared to go to school. For nearly 3 years the Nuba people have been living under the shadow of conflict in Sudan. Almost every school in the Nuba mountain's state of south Kordofan has been bombed or damaged by attacks, and at least 40% remain closed.
Many children have no school to go to or are too afraid to attend. Tunguli modern Primary School headmaster Butrus, says his school was bombed last year and he now holds lessons under trees close to the safety of Caves.
One of the challenges which we have here in the Nuba Mountains is security. Secondly, the school stationery is not available. The books we have here are for teachers exclusively. These books are not enough for students to use. Children have to do math's on the sand since they have no exercise books, pencils or even textbooks.
The school's blackboard got damaged after a bomb fell just 100 meters away. Reports indicated that 120 of the 243 primary schools in 10-year Nuba mountain counties had been bombed. One major problem now was also a lack of teachers.Tunguli little Primary School has 13 teachers and 900 pupils. Because of insecurity a window blockade by Sudan's government, means civilians living in SPLM-N held areas received no humanitarian support.
The speculations on the nature of the attacks on civilians is that they are designed to drive out the population and destabilize support for the SPLA North. Obviously bombing schools is destroying a future generation right to education. Adam bales for VOA News.

And the more I think about it, sure, the nearer I'm to cry.
Many of our Halloween customs have their roots in ancient Irish traditions. The Celts celebrated Samhain which marked the end of the 'light days' of summer and the beginning of the 'dark days' of winter. They celebrated the end of the harvest and prepared for the cold months ahead. The custom of carving jack o'lanterns sprung from an old Irish tale about Stingy Jack who cheated the devil and carved a lantern out of a turnip lit with a coal from the fires of hell to light his way. People carved scary faces in turnips, potatoes and beets and placed them in their windows to keep wandering evil spirits away.
Colcannon is a traditional Irish Halloween dinner of mashed potatoes and cabbage or kale. Unmarried women would place the first and last spoonfuls in their stockings and then placed them on their front door, supposedly the first man to enter their household was destined to become their husband. Coins are still wrapped in paper and hidden as treats in the buttery potatoes. Some households even leave a small bowl with a mound of butter for the fairies and ghosts. Colcannon was often cooked by the fireside in Bastable ovens, similar to our cast iron camp ovens.
There are many recipes for Colcannon and like any popular dish passed down through generations, people's grandmothers and mothers probably made their favorite version of this hearty meal. Depending on what part of Ireland you are from, some swear it is made with cabbage and others kale. They all include potatoes, onions, leeks or scallions and a mountain of butter. Many recipes require cooking the cabbage and potatoes separately but to simplify the process I decided to cook all the vegetables together at the same time. I placed the diced potatoes in my 10 inch dutch oven, covered them with water then scattered the chopped scallions and cabbage over the top. I placed the oven over a full compliment of coals and covered the lid with a generous amount of coals, enough to bring the water to a steady boil. In 25 minutes, when the steam was pouring from the oven, the vegetables were tender and ready for mashing. I drained the water, placed the oven back on the bottom coals, then added the milk and butter. Light and fluffy, mashed together this peasant dish becomes positively elegant. Add the finishing touch by making a well in the center of the steaming mash and filling it with sweet, melted butter and don't forget to leave a small saucer for the wee folk.
Place potatoes in bottom of oven, add just enough water to cover potatoes.
Sprinkle cabbage and scallions over potatoes.
Place dutch oven over a full compliment of coals.
Cover and place as many coals on the lid as needed to keep the water at a steady simmer.
Cook for 20-30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender and cabbage is soft.
Remove lid from oven. Using oven mitt tilt oven to drain water from vegetables.
Return dutch oven to bottom coals.
Add milk, softened butter, salt and pepper.
Mash well with potato masher.
Mound on platter, make a well in the top of potatoes and fill with melted butter.

There is a growing interest in the notion and practice of dramaturgy, which is often discussed either as the work of the dramaturg, or as the compositional, cohesive or sense-making aspects of a performance. Drawing on such views, The Practice of Dramaturgy addresses dramaturgy as a shared, politicized and catalytic practice that sets actions into motion in a more speculative rather than an instructive way.
In the first part, 'Dramaturgy as Working on Actions', the editors and main authors of the book discuss three working principles that lie at the heart of their proposition, and return to the etymology of the term 'dramaturgy' ('drama'=action and 'ergon'=work) in order to scrutinize this further by relating it to debates on action, work and post-Fordist labour.


Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei has a global setback risk. For many telecom operators in Southeast Asia, however, the company remains one of the preferred 5G partners.
Several Asian telecom companies have told me that it is "business as usual" for Huawei in their countries.
That is, even though the US has pressured its allies to hang up on Huawei, out of concern that the company is spying on the Chinese government.
Huawei has consistently denied that it is a security threat and says it will never hurt its customers.
Timeline: What's up with Huawei?
The US Department of Justice also accused the company of stealing trade secrets and breaking US sanctions against Iran.
But that did not affect the attractiveness for Asian customers.
Huawei is one of the leading providers of telecommunications equipment for operators of 5G tests in the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
Industry insiders say competitors can not compete with Huawei for cost and technological performance.
High-speed Internet has been described as the spinal cord of a modern economy, and 5G is an important part of it.
If it is fully functional, it is expected to change the way we use the Internet.
Huawei is also a key player for emerging market operators such as Cambodia, where it has been an integral part of the current 4G network.
Basically, this means that you can download a video in a few seconds. Think of the more sophisticated end, autonomous cars, smart homes and cities with internet access.
A secure and secure 5G network will be crucial for a modern economy in the future, says Tom Uren of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI). Therefore, Huawei is subjected to such a test.
"Although no company manufactures completely safe products, Huawei has a unique additional risk that goes beyond the" normal "risk of buying complex devices," he writes in an article published on the ASPI website.
Mr. Uren points out the alleged close links between the Chinese government and local companies and says that Chinese companies have a legal obligation to cooperate, support and provide educational support.
"The equipment of the 5G network is not just a passive infrastructure," he writes.
"It has complete visibility and control over all the connections within the network, it sees who from whom, when, from where calls and controls which route data is stored."
Huawei – cheaper and better?
It is believed that Huawei is one year ahead of its competitors in terms of technological know-how.
Globe Telecoms in the Philippines has been working with Huawei since 2011 to modernize telecommunications infrastructure networks.
Later this year, Globe plans to bring customers online for the first time by using Huawei devices to provide 5G connectivity in residential areas of Manila where there is no Internet.
"5G is an important building block for the competitiveness of the Philippine economy, which is why we are accelerating our efforts to introduce 5G so that we can provide as many Filipinos as possible with access to this technology," said Gil Genio, Chief Technology and Information Officer said in a statement to the BBC.
For many countries in Asia, it is ultimately not practical to ban Huawei as it does in the US and Australia.
There are few other options. Finding another supplier that can beat the price offered by Huawei is difficult.
Neither telecom operators nor Huawei will announce how much they charge their customers, but it is believed that the Chinese company will grant a discount of 10% to other companies in the market.
Then there is the aftercare service that Huawei offers. Analysts say there has been an effort in the past to build customer support networks in countries that Western companies usually ignore or dismiss as not important enough.
Although there are many countries in Asia that have dedicated themselves to Huawei, there are still worries.
The Chinese company's international spotlight is prompting some Asian governments to think twice about using the company's products, according to security analysts.
A security firm told me that requests from government customers were heavily drawn, how problematic Huawei's products were, and what steps they could take to mitigate those risks.
"Some have asked us how much they need to worry about whether Huawei is really a liability," said an analyst who interviews governments in Asia on the condition of anonymity.
"Countries are increasingly concerned that Huawei could pose a significant risk due to its links with the Chinese government."
Nevertheless, these concerns have not yet led to a ban in Southeast Asia.
Malaysia says it will investigate Huawei before making a decision. However, several telecom operators are currently using the company to roll out 5G services in the country.
One of the major telecommunications companies in Singapore, M1, has teamed with Huawei to test 5G services in that country.
Singapore's telecoms regulator said operators should "ensure diversity of providers to mitigate the risk of dependency on a single vendor" and in turn not ban Huawei entirely.
The pressure on Huawei from the west is likely to continue.
The US government is reportedly planning to extend the Huawei restriction by an executive order prohibiting the use of all Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturers in wireless US networks, and is likely to press US allies to follow suit.
But that could be expensive.
"If the US put a ban on Huawei [in wireless networks]"Then that will also cost the US 5G ambitions," says Samm Sacks, China economic colleague in the New America Think Tank.
"That would mean that we could not participate in a mixed network in Europe or Asia, so if we do not participate, that would be a significant disadvantage."
This would mean a world of two Internet – or what analysts call a "digital iron curtain" – dividing the world into parts that do business with Chinese companies like Huawei and those that do not.
