"KOKORO&KARADA / LOVEpedia / Ningen Kankei No way way" by Morning Musume.'20
Yo! Sirius here!
I usually post my review of a single after it was released. However, today will be different. I will be reviewing a single that will be released today.
Yep, you read that right.
Today is the release of Morning Musume.'20's 68th single, KOKORO&KARADA / LOVEpedia / Ningen Kankei No way way (KOKORO&KARADA/LOVEペディア/人間関係No way way; MIND&BODY / LOVEpedia / Personal Relationships No way way).
KOKORO&KARADA
Ningen Kankei No way way
You guys might be wondering why am I reviewing this single a bit early than usual. Well, this single was already been teased to us, fans, since late last year. Last month, the MV's were released and it gave us, fans, some taste of what we are getting.
In other words, I HAD BEEN DYING TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS SINGLE OKAY. IT WAS A STRUGGLE ON MY PART TO KEEP MY OPINIONS ABOUT THE SONGS TO MYSELF.
This is also the first single of the Morning Musume newest members, the 15th generation (Rio, Homare and Mei).
Anyway, you guys are not here to listen to my rants and spazzes. Let's get on to the songs.
First up would KOKORO&KARADA.
I love the song, like VERY MUCH.
However, I do admit that I didn't initially love it. It took awhile before I was able to acknowledge its good points. In other words, the song was a grower. Not only that, seeing the song performed live made me love the song even more.
Out of the three songs, this one is the closest to what this current era of Morning Musume would release. I mean, if you look at their past singles, it is quite understandable that this song would be the main song of this single.
Like its past singles, this song is an EDM but with a mix of strings which adds a more dramatic flare to it. You can also here some guitar rifts all over the instrumentals, which adds a lot more rich sound to its melody. I also love how they added some piano in the chorus section as it made the song more dramatic than ever before. At first, I find this section weird and out of place, but for some point, it made sense after listening to it again and again. It was a breakdown I didn't expect I needed for the song. There wasn't anything special with its dance break and coda section, and because of that, I felt a bit of a letdown. It would be nice if they add some climax to it, but overall, I'm good with the end product.
About the lyrics, it's quite upfront. If you listen to the music you can't really tell that this song is a love song, but it is. The lyrics pretty much explained how much the girl likes the guy. She expressed how much she hates the feeling, at the same time acknowledge it. Typical Tsunku lyrics. Heh.
With the division of singing parts, its very Morning Musume current era. The robotic per syllable singing infairness works well with the song. As usual, there were a lot of mini group lines while a few members got solo lines. At first, I was disappointed by it, but then I was saved by the refrain section, as it was melodic to my ears. Yes, that part was mainly done by the 3 main vocals while the other members do the 2nd voice, it was arranged well and definitely my cup of tea. For its chorus, the big lines were again shared by the main vocals and thy delivered. I was especially amazed at the inclusion of falsetto high notes. That was a nice touch as it showcased the vocal abilities of the main vocals.
I love the dance, its so slick. I love how its so Morning Musume while at the same time, very new. The usual main dancers are in front delivering the choreography really well. The new members was able to dance well and that's really really amazing. Why do I find it amazing? Well, this song requires teamwork, solid teamwork. If someone makes a mistake, it would standout. Morning Musume had been known all over Japan for having cool formation dances and very cohesive way of dancing, and they were able to prove it again through this dance. Yes, maybe there might be some dance moves that looks simple or easy, but to pull off a synchronize dance is hella hard and I love Morning Musume for perfecting it.
Now for the MV. Where do I start? LOL.
THE MV IS ONE OF THE BEST MV'S THEY RELEASED IN A LONG TIME. It reminded me of Mukidashi MV that was released last 2016, in terms of editing, but the quality and overall visual effects are so new, cool and amazing IT MADE ME SPEECHLESS ON MY FIRST WATCH. Not only it highlighted all of the beautiful faces of the members, the slick dance choreography was shown really well too. UUUUGGGGGHHHH SO GOOD.
Another similar aspect of the MV to the Mukidashi MV from 2016 was its Yuri undertone. In the Mukidashi MV, the yuri scenes were shown in the coda section and they were very very tame. But it's very different here in K&K MV as the yuri moments were blasted to your face as early as the 2nd chorus and they were VISUALLY EYE CANDY. I even squeal on some scenes. Lol. I really didn't expect that, and based on the reactions of other people, they also didn't expect that too. Hahahahahha.
Overall, this song is amazing on its own right. The major highlights of this song would be its amazing arrangement and its slick choreography to back it up. The singing was a bit a downer but it is within what I expect from them.
Definitely, give this song a listen.
Next to review is an interesting one.
I will be sharing my thoughts on both LOVEpedia and Ningen Kankei No way way. Why both, you ask me?
Well, its because these two songs is actually 1 song, just arranged differently and had different lyrics.
Okay, how should I review this?
I'll start first with it's melody.
Both songs are easy to listen to. They have this catchy eargasm worthy melody that would stay on your mind for a long time. It's really fun to listen to them. But yeah, just like what I said, both songs have a different arrangements.
For LOVEpedia, it was more heavy bass with electronic music to back up the fast heavy beats. I find this a bit predictable and typical Morning Musume music as it reminds me of the updated music collection of Morning Musume. Interestingly, the coda section has the same beats and feel as Are You Happy dance breaks, not that I am complaining. Because of these similar arrangements, I could easily digest Lovepedia as a Morning Musume song.
Ningen Kenkei No Way Way, on the other hand, had more color with its arrangement. It reminds me a lot of a favorite C-ute song of mine, Tokai no Hitorigurashi, with its instrumentals, its use of horns, guitars and fast beats. It also reminds me of some ANGERME old songs. It's like he's incorporating a sound that Morning Musume hasn't encountered yet, and I am loving it. I especially love how the arranger pretty much had fun with its coda section as he added some elements that I have yet to determine what along with slick guitar rifts. It's so cool to listen.
Yes, melody-wise, its still the same beat as the former song, but because of the arrangement, this song feels like it had a faster beat over Lovepedia.
Now if we talk about the lyrics, both songs deliver different stages of Love. LOVEpedia was more about the process of finding and experiencing love in different ways. The lyrics feels hopeful and curious at the same time. It's all positive and all, while Ningen Kenkei No Way Way is clear about the pain and aftermath of a breakup. It's the total opposite of the former. Because of this contrast, it made both songs amazing to listen to. Uuuggghhhh, Kodaka Ameko is a genius songwriter. OMG.
Now, in terms of line distribution, now this was a surprise. Usually, when it comes to this, Morning Musume tends to give lines to the "capable" members and while the other less vocal members stay in the back, only gonna sing some unison lines. However, in this 2 songs, they went ANGERME mode. All members got parts, and that's…UH-MAY-ZING. It not only let me hear the back member sing solo, but they also made sure they'll shine in their parts. Yes, the capable members still got some parts but, the majority was more on the less capable ones. It's refreshing to listen.
Just like the line distribution, the dance choreographies on both songs remind me alot of ANGERME, good dance moves that sometimes look chaotic but in sync. Lol. As most of the singling lines were given to the back members, they were mostly in front, while the usual front members were at the back or at the side. It's very interesting to watch. I especially love the dance breaks in between verses and chorus in both songs as it highlights the "in-sync" dance moves of the group. However, I am a bit disappointed with the dance break in the coda section as it's very messy. I still prefer if the main dance parts were given to the capable ones, the main dancers, to make it more clean and presentable. I still do appreciate the final dance formations and all, I just feel like its a waste. Heh.
Now for the MV's.
Let me first give my thoughts on LOVEpedia.
As the song was more positive and fluffy, the MV delivered that sentiment as well. The new members, Rio, Homare and Mei, were greatly featured in this MV. As this was their initiation, the members met the members one by one. Each old member represents a kind/type of love that is connected to that member. I really find this really cute as we see each new member shine alongside the old members. The costume looks nice as well. At first, I find the outfits too idol-y, but after seeing a close-up pic on the fabric and little details of the costume, I later realized how creative and nice the outfits are.
Now for Ningen Kenkei No Way Way, the MV was the opposite of the former. This MV was more sad, dark, and very chic. Unlike Lovepedia where it featured the new members, this MV features the other back members that could be the next front members in the future (when they are fully developed). The MV was more mature and it delivered the sentiments of the lyrics really well.
Oh man, Hello! Project MV's lately had been amazing, WTF.
Overall, both songs are amazing on their own and very interesting to listen to when consecutively. Interestingly, fans want a mash-up version of both of the songs. I thought only the international fans wants this (as seen on twitter), but it seemed the Jp fans too as well wants to hear a mash-up version of this. At first, this idea is weird to me, but after listening to a fan made mash up, bruh, it works. Hahahahhaha.
As H!P is quite know for amazing medley arrangements, I think a mash-up version of this is not a long dream. Heh.
Overall, the single is amazing. Each song is the main song worthy, its that good.
I dunno if I expressed this before to all of you guys but its been awhile since I was amazed and satisfied by a single released my Morning Musume. The last single that made me feel this was 2017's Triple-A single: "Jama Shinai de Here We Go! / Dokyuu no Go Sign / Wakain da shi!". That single was solid AF that I even made a review about it. LOL.
But yeah, this single is OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING and I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY COPY!!!
As a tradition to my music reviews, I need to choose a favorite song/s in this single. Oh man, this is hard. All 3 songs are amazing and they are all my favorites, but if I were to choose which one is superior then that would be KOKORO&KARADA and Ningen Kenkei No Way Way. K&K is superior in terms of dance and its Morning Musume-ness, while Ningen Kenkei No Way Way is superior because of its amazing arrangement and it brought a unique sound to Morning Musume. Don't get me wrong, I love Lovepedia, but these two are too strong for it to compete. It is a close second to both though, at least.
As of the release of this review, the single is out now. As much as I want you guys check this song out, its only available digitally on iTunes/Apple music. If you guys have a lot of money, then you can buy their CD's/DVD/s on CdJapan or Amazon. Hahaha. Feel my frustration, bruh.
Uuuuggghhhh…why can't they release their songs on Spotify?!?!?!?! The struggle…
If you guys don't want to do all of that, then please check out its MV's instead. You guys are in for a treat.
Anyway, that would be all.
This has been Will Sirius and thanks for reading. 🙂

A Law Firm That Knows The SEC Whistleblower Program
A few months after the SEC whistleblower program was created, Jason R. Pickholz left a partnership at a national law firm to found The Pickholz Law Offices. His goal was to provide his clients with the same high quality of legal representation found at leading national law firms, coupled with the personal attention uniquely available at a specialized boutique.

Our SEC whistleblower clients have come from all over the United States and abroad. To hear what some of our clients have had to say about us, please click on the Client Reviews link or click here. Some of our clients were referred to us by other clients (see Review of Client #14 here), law school professors (see here), other lawyers (see here), and news journalists (see here).
The SEC Whistleblower Program
In 2010, the U.S. Congress gave the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") its first comprehensive whistleblower program. Congress's goal was to provide monetary incentives to people to report information about corporate frauds and securities law violations to the SEC.
According to the SEC whistleblower program, to be eligible for an SEC whistleblower award, a person must first voluntarily provide original information to the SEC that causes the SEC to either open a new investigation, or that substantially contributes to an already ongoing SEC investigation. Then, if the SEC brings a successful action in which it collects more than $ 1 million from the wrongdoers or violators, an SEC whistleblower reward will become available.
Under these circumstances, the SEC must give the whistleblower(s) an award of between 10% – 30% of the amount of money that it collects from the wrongdoers.
SEC whistleblower rewards are not paid out of money taken or withheld from investors who were harmed by the fraud. SEC whistleblower awards are paid from a separate fund set up by the U.S. Congress called the Securities and Exchange Commission Investor Protection Fund.
There are a lot of rules that could determine whether someone may be eligible to receive an SEC whistleblower award, though. There are also a lot of rules that could disqualify someone from receiving an award. If you have questions or concerns about any of those rules, you may want to consult with an experienced SEC whistleblower lawyer.

It has become commonplace and expected that schools that are worth their salt field some sort of athletics program. The reasoning for the inclusion of sports in the life of a school generally revolves around health and fitness, character development, and the like. This is all well and good, but are these good enough reasons to spend the resources in time, talent, and treasure that such an endeavor certainly demands? In creating a distinctively Christian education for our children, we do not want to include or implement an element simply because the other guys are doing it. The other guys might be doing something really unwise. So, why would we want to include athletics in what we do at Cary Christian School?
People develop, participate in, and enjoy sport because it is a microcosm of life. Human beings have a "play instinct" that imitates aspects of reality. Sport is an endeavor in which the point, ultimately, is to achieve a goal by negotiating through, around, and over obstacles that seek to impede one's accomplishing that goal. This is life.
Followers of Christ are told repeatedly in Scripture that they have an objective, which is to make all things subject to Christ. Christ wants to have what is rightfully His, that is, control over the entire universe. Scripture tells us as well that there is a counterclaim to the universe. Christ has an enemy. Satan desires the universe for himself. Now, we have all the makings of a War (that is, a competition). This war has been raging since the first moments of Creation and will continue until the final "Nike" (Greek for victory) of Christ at the Last Day.
War always involves armies. God's army is made up of His people. Military references are replete through Scripture, not the least of which is Paul's admonition in Ephesians to "put on the armor of the Lord" in order to withstand and compete against the onslaught of the enemy. In sport, participants have the opportunity to practice putting on "armor" in order to practice being warriors. In the same way that a young boy might develop a "taste" for construction by playing in the dirt; in participating in sport, young people have the opportunity to train their minds, bodies, and spirits to compete…to oppose…to achieve victory against those who would seek to defeat them and their aims (and our enemy, Satan, seeks to do just that).
This does not mean that when Cary Christian School tees it up against the other team, that the opposition is the incarnation of the Kingdom of Darkness. It means that we are role-playing opposition in order to be stronger, wiser, and better in order that we may be ready to truly oppose the enemy with all that we are.
Athletic teams are fielded by Cary Christian School for this purpose: to teach and train young people in the life-skills and wisdom necessary to exert themselves for a good, noble, and righteous Cause.

New experiential attractions Distortions Monster World
By Bryony Andrews Last updated Feb 12, 2021 934
Distortions Monster World, a new experiential 'artainment' adventure presented by Monster Makers at Distortions Unlimited and award-winning production team at Blazen Illuminations, has debuted its limited-run engagement at Denver Pavilions on Denver Colorado's 16th Street Mall.
Distortions Monster World is an immersive adventure for all ages, spanning 19,000 square foot and taking guests through a series of cinematic environments featuring interactive installations and infamous creatures and characters including many recognizable from music, film, T.V., and attractions.
The monsters featured throughout the exhibit are the creations of Distortions Unlimited, owners Ed Edmunds and Marsha Taub-Edmunds, their talented team, and the many artists and sculptors Distortions works with. Distortions has been making monsters out of Greeley, Colorado, for more than 40 years and is one of the preeminent designers of animatronic monsters and displays for the dark entertainment industry.
"Distortions Monster World is a celebration of a lifetime of making monsters and a way to share our love for all things monster," said Edmunds. "I have never seen monsters as ugly, and certainly haven't associated them with just one time of the year. My hope is that visitors will walk away appreciating the art and beauty behind these creatures, and realize there is more to monsters than meets the eye."
Each scene features vibrant theatrical lighting and immersive sound design, projection, special effects, and more. These elements of the exhibit are designed, developed, and produced by the award-winning production team from Blazen Illuminations, a Loveland, Colorado, based business.
"Distortions Monster World is a large, explorable, interactive art installation," stated Nate Webb, co-owner of Blazen Illuminations. "This artainment experience will immerse visitors in unique environments using interactive technology, props, sets, and engaging storylines — all tied together by the theme of a lifetime of making monsters."

Low voltage landscape lights systems have several advantages. Most importantly, low-voltage garden lighting equipment is easier to install. Another advantage of low voltage wiring is lightweight and can be placed on ground or buried just below surface. Once installed, 120 volt systems are relatively permanent, while outdoor landscape low voltage lighting fixtures can be relocated if you want to change lighting scheme. Another advantage of low voltage lighting equipment is that it can be relatively cheap.
Another low voltage landscape lights alternative to explore is fiber optic lighting. In fiber optic optics individual strands of crystal light ultra pure conduct from remote sources. Metro coated plastic fiber optic cables are very flexible in establishment, as they can be molded into concrete walkways or walls. These types are versatile as fiber optic accessories can be placed anywhere. Since there is no electricity or heat is transmitted through these cables, fiber optic lighting is ideal as it provides maximum protection against fire and accidents.
One of shortcomings of low voltage landscape lights is lower light output. Low voltage lighting of transformer that feeds system must be of a size to match combined power of lamps used. Another drawback with low voltage wiring is that cables are not buried deeply and are more prone to damage and requires constant supervision to avoid possibility of any accident, however, if one goes for fiber optic lighting or landscape of Solar energy lighting such disadvantages can be completely eliminated.

New education draft has states smiling
Fresh version gives them right to appoint VCs
Aditi Tandon
The proposed overarching regulator for higher education in India will not be "all-powerful" and "centralised."
Following stiff opposition from the state governments, some of which (Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal and Gujarat) rejected the old draft of the National Commission for Higher Education and Research (NCHER) Bill 2010 as anti-federal, the Centre-appointed taskforce working on the draft law today finalised its "federal" version, allaying the concerns of states.
To that extent, the states have had their say, paving the way for the law's passage in the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) meeting, which the HRD Ministry has scheduled for June 17. CABE is the highest decision-making body for higher education in India and has all state education ministers among the members. If the law is cleared at this meeting, it can go for Cabinet approval and finally to Parliament in monsoon session.
Fresh version of the Bill is called Higher Education and Research Bill 2010 (the word national is missing). It doesn't infringe upon powers of states to appoint Vice-Chancellors unlike the old NCHER draft law which made it mandatory for states to choose VCs from the national registry of eminent academics, refer these names to the NCHER, which would finalise a five-member panel for states to choose from.
The provision was slammed by most states though Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal last year described the same as a "step towards de-politicising academics".
Sibal's idea took a hit today as the new NCHER draft law relaxes the said provision. While the directory of VCs will be maintained, states would not be obliged to choose VCs from there. "Central Universities will make choices from the directory but for states, the provision would be optional," said Prof Goverdhan Mehta, a taskforce member.
Another victory for states is the creation of an all-new General Council within the ambit of the NCHER. With representatives from every state/UT, this council will have the power to veto the commission's decisions by a two-third majority. "This is a welcome addition to the old draft which was too centralised. We would, however, want the council to perform the main role and the NCHER to be an executor," Dr KN Pannicker, chairman, Higher Education Council, Kerala told The Tribune today. Pannicker, a critic of the old draft, today described the reworked version as "rational."
Another relaxation the taskforce has granted to states pertains to functional authorization, which any new university awarding independent degrees would need to obtain from the NCHER. Under the old draft, the NCHER could refuse authorisation even after the university received a positive assessment report from an accreditation agency. "Now the commission would have to grant the declaration if the assessment report is fine," said ministry sources.
The new draft further seeks control of education as a whole including medical, legal and agricultural despite the Health Ministry's resistance to the move. The taskforce has recommended a constitutional amendment to include agricultural education under the NCHER, agriculture being a state subject at present.
Personally, Sibal distanced himself from the law saying the taskforce had proposed a federative law. "The Government will take a final view on the taskforce recommendations. Hopefully, the law should be in place by the next academic session. As for the NCHER, it would be a national participative body to regulate education as a whole. We don't want it to be an adjunct of the HRD Ministry," he clarified.

August 16, 2020 August 16, 2020 Carl Robert Keyes Daily Advert UpdateHatter, Levi Jennings, Massachusetts Gazette and Boston Weekly News-Letter, Stolen Hat, William Sheaffe
What was advertised in a colonial American newspaper 250 years ago today?
"Orders having been left with Mr. Jennings for that purpose."
Advertisements for lost, missing, and stolen items frequently appeared in newspapers from New England to Georgia in the eighteenth century. For lost and missing items, advertisers often offered rewards to those who returned them. For stolen items, advertisers usually offered rewards not only for the return of their items but also for information about the thieves and burglars who had taken them.
An advertisement in the August 16, 1770, edition of the Massachusetts Gazette and Boston Weekly News-Letter took a different approach. The advertiser noted that on August 6 "a Man's HAT was taken out of the House of William Sheaffe, Esq; in Queen-street." The hat may have belonged to Sheaffe or to a visitor; the remainder of the advertisement never specified who owned the hat or made the offer that followed. Rather than expressing anger about the theft, the "Owner of [the hat] would charitably suppose that the Person who took it away was under a pressing Necessity for a little Money, or much in want of a Hat." The anonymous advertiser acknowledged that some colonists participated in the consumer revolution through informal means, wearing stolen apparel or selling stolen goods. Having chosen to take a charitable approach, the advertiser informed whoever had his hat that "if he will return it to Mr. Levi Jennings, Hatter, in King-Street, he shall receive a New One in Lieu thereof." The advertiser also offered assurances of "Orders having been left with Mr. Jennings for that purpose." Instead of calling for the arrest and punishment of whoever took the hat, the advertiser made a bargain to purchase a new hat in return for the old, perhaps because it held sentimental value.
Whoever took that hat was not the only one who stood to come out ahead. Jennings, the hatter, benefited from the compassionate approach taken by the anonymous advertiser. Not only did he sell a hat, he also saw his business promoted in the public prints in connection to an interesting story. The advertisement did not include the usual hallmarks of how artisans promoted their wares, but it did make Jennings part of a narrative that readers were likely to remember.

It's another big day for 1CGS and the IL-2: Great Battles Series as patch 3.005 releases bringing with it the FW190A-8 for IL-2: Battle of Bodenplatte and two new entries into the series: Tank Crew and Flying Circus.
The first of two FW190 releases for Bodenplatte is here with the FW190A-8, an aircraft that is an evolution of the earlier A-3 and A-5 variants already available in the series. The FW190A-8 comes with modifications that turns it into the F-8 fighter-bomber variant as well.
With 30mm cannons the FW190A-8 can chew through enemy fighters, attack planes, and bombers with ease while additional armor and bomb carriage abilities belong to the F-8 variant. I love the flexibility that the A-8/F-8 combo offer for both multiplayer and single player and look forward to flying it and providing first impressions.
These two classics are the first two aircraft to receive the update treatment and their introduction into the Digital Warfare game engine. The Dr.I and SPAD 13 both feature improved visual details and geometry and 4K texture details.
I'll be relying on other players initial reactions to these two aircraft over the short term as its been an expensive few months and I need to let the wallet rest a bit but I will definitely do my reactions to these aircraft as soon as possible.
Armored warfare fans will hopefully be interested to check out the new Tank Crew – Clash at Prokhorovka which goes into Early Access today. The KV-1s and Tiger I are both available for access along with the T-34 and Pz.III tanks that have been available for IL-2 owners for a couple of years.
Interestingly, the announcement today contained news that the two mobile AA vehicles originally included in the pack will be developed later and separately.
Due to development and gameplay considerations we have decided to create a separate AAA vehicles add-on featuring the GAZ-MM + 72K and Sd. Kfz. 10 + Flak38. We will prepare them as a separate product to be released later and work to make them a more interesting addition to IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles then initially planned.
We don't know exactly what this means in terms of making them more interesting addition but it leads to all kinds of speculation. I do wonder if the 72K and Flak38 stationary artillery may also become options. For many years, players have suggested that they be able to select their airfield and spawn as a AAA battery to help defend the base when under attack. In multiplayer, this would be an interesting means of dealing with vulchers in a more organic way rather than banning the practice outright. Perhaps that is what 1CGS means by interesting?
Once again, I fully intend to provide details and in-depth analysis on Tank Crew over time but I won't be able to commit to purchasing it just yet. Soon I hope! In the meantime, I will be curating players responses to the title and gathering the details here for you.
This is another key moment in the history of the IL-2 franchise and the future of what 1CGS has been working forwards over the last several months. IL-2: Battle of Bodenplatte continues the direct development of the series taking us from the Eastern Front to the West and bringing with it a whole package of fan favourite aircraft for single and multiplayer battles.
Flying Circus Vol 1 is hopefully the first in a few volumes of releases aimed at bringing the content of Rise of Flight into the new generation of Digital Warfare engine. Vol 1, intentionally named no doubt, is a start and it immediately introduces Rise of Flight and WWI flight sim fans to 4K textures, enhanced 3D object detail, more advanced shadow and lighting systems and VR.
Tank Crew is perhaps most unique introducing a new dimension of gameplay for the series and hopefully drawing in fans of older titles like Panzer Elite as well as free to play titles like War Thunder and World of Tanks who may be looking for an updated and more in-depth, realism centric style of gameplay.
Exciting times ahead I hope!
Indeed Shamerockonefive, a key moment in the history. I love the unique gameplay (which never ever seen before) of tanks + planes + AA guns on the same map. This will be very interesting in terms of multiplayer gameplay, the cooperation between ground units and aerial units.
The AA vehicles is what I am waiting the most, and the word "interesting" coming from this team is yummy and predict a good surprise.
I am so hyped and happy! the best is to come!
Agreed! I think this is going to be great for the series with the branching out into a few different areas. Exciting times!
Not striclty true, DCS Combined Arms has allowed for it for quite some time, and with the WW2 Assets Pack now being supported I believe they're roughly on a par – with the exception that DCS CA didn't support VR.
I completely understand the dev costs and small market we have, but I wish the cost was a little lower. Its partially a mental thing but $50-60 price point would have been better for all of these games. Just had to say it somewhere. I wish them the best success as always, the cost is just pushing off from purchasing these lately.
Simple question – Does TC – CaP support VR?
The advantage for Tank Crew is that its all integrated into IL-2's Digital Warfare Engine so VR support is baked into the experience thanks to the hard work of 1CGS to make it possible last year.
There are some limits. You can't pull on any levers or knobs from within VR, you have to use a keyboard, mouse, joystick, or HOTAS to manage things.
I'm actively looking for someone's comments on Tank Crew + VR. If you do jump into that, send me a note on here about how it's working for you.
Brilliant – thank you so much for your prompt response Shamrockonefive.
will this work with the next level v3 motion platform?
I've never heard of V3 Motion Platform but it looks like some sophisticated stuff.
Cliffs of Dover doesn't have the same engine so support between it and the IL-2: Great Battles Series is not possible. That said, I'm guessing if the 1CGS devs want to, they can build support in for this as well.
I don't think it has support for it right now anyways. Things can always change.

EERE Success Story—Distributed Wind Competitiveness Improvement Project (CIP) Partner Delivers Next-Generation Wind Turbine for On-Site Power
Release originally published here on April 11, 2017 by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy.
Distributed wind is used at or near where it is generated, and has gained a strong footing in the marketplace among commercial, industrial, and utility customers. In total, U.S. wind turbines in distributed applications have eclipsed an installed capacity of more than 934 megawatts – from more than 75,000 turbines across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Pictured above is the Excel 15 wind turbine. This innovative turbine is anticipated to be 40% more efficient than Bergey's 10 kW turbine, produce 85% more energy, and be sold at a similar price point. Photo Courtesy | Bergey Windpower
Bergey Windpower, a leading American manufacturer of small wind turbines for residential and commercial applications, recently announced a new product, the Excel 15 wind turbine. This innovative turbine is anticipated to be 40% more efficient than Bergey's 10 kW turbine, produce 85% more energy, and be sold at a similar price point. These factors lead to a significant reduction in levelized cost of energy (LCOE), the benchmark of competitiveness for energy generation technologies.
Over a three-year period, the advanced technology was developed with support from DOE under the Wind Energy Technologies Office's Distributed Wind Competitiveness Improvement Project (CIP).
The CIP is a periodic solicitation funded by DOE and administered by its National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Manufacturers of small and medium wind turbines are awarded cost-shared contracts via a competitive process to optimize their designs for increased energy production, develop advanced manufacturing processes for reduced hardware costs, and perform turbine testing for certification to national performance and safety standards.
The Wind Energy Technologies Office has supported the development of technical standards for the voluntary testing and certification of small wind turbines to performance and safety criteria. These certification standards allow manufacturers to communicate consistent, 3rd-party validated information to consumers, which in turn increases consumer confidence. Currently, the Excel 15 is undergoing certification testing with support from CIP.

Robot Flies to Germany as Airline Passenger From Los Angeles
By Reuters | Updated: 16 December 2014 15:40 IST
A humanoid robot with a head, hands and feet and wearing stylish red sneakers boarded a flight for Germany at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday, becoming what was billed as the first robot traveling as a paid passenger on an airline.
The robot, named Athena, created a scene at the Tom Bradley International Terminal as she was pushed in a wheelchair up to the Lufthansa counter to pick up her ticket to Frankfurt. Television crews swarmed, camera flashes went off and people aimed their cell-phone cameras at her, exclaiming: "It's a robot!"
Built by the Salt Lake City engineering and robotics company Sarcos, Athena was purchased by Germany's Max Planck Society, which along with researchers at the University of Southern California are trying to make her perform tasks too dangerous for humans, such as cleanup after the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Japan.
"We don't want humans to go there and sacrifice their lives," said Max Planck doctoral student Alexander Herzog, who was pushing Athena through the airport. "I would like to have a robot achieve the same task, such as opening up doors and cleaning up."
Right now, Athena can do little more than sit and bask in attention. The software to make her legs move and stand is still in the works, though her arms can operate and her mouth glows blue on a white head fitted with cameras and sensors.
She got an economy ticket but still enjoyed special treatment, including a cut to the front of the ticket line in the first-class lane.
And while Athena did not have to go through the regular metal detector, the Transportation Security Administration had a special electronic pat-down awaiting, said airport spokeswoman Nancy Suey Castles. "TSA didn't want us to say what it was," she said.
As for the flight, Athena was strapped into a seat like a regular passenger, but was put in the off position, accompanied all the way to her new laboratory home in Germany by Herzog and Jeannette Bohg, senior research scientist at the Max Planck Society.
Representatives for Lufthansa could not be reached for comment.
Athena could have been shipped in a big box like any other electronic gear, but the scientists "wanted to see how humans responded to a robot sitting in a plane," said Castles.
Plus, added Herzog, "It's cheaper to get a seat."

An Bord Pleanála backs city council's refusal of plan to redevelop Hynes Building
Galway Bay fm newsroom – An Bord Pleanála has backed city planners decision to refuse permission for a major redevelopment of Hynes building at St. Augustine Street.
The project led by O'Malley Group (Homes and Developments) Ltd was initially refused by the city council in September and was later appeal to the higher planning authority.
The development would have involved a three to seven storey building.
It would have seen the demolition of the existing building in the northeast corner of the site known as St. Clare Walk Building and the construction of a new 7-storey building with a new junior library and office reception at ground floor and office use to all upper floors.
An additional three floors would have been built over part of the Hynes building for office use.
There would also have been a single storey extension to the existing library at ground floor of the Hynes building on Augustine Street.
In turning down the proposal, city planners had stated it would represent an over-development of the site and would be contrary to the maximum permitted plot ratio standard.
In backing this refusal, An Bord Pleanála stated the development would provide an overbearing expression onto the streetscape, would offer little relationship with the surrounding urban fabric and would detract from the character of the area.

I read you need to call the hook with the same parameters inside the other components, but in this case the parameter is a password. I dont want to save the password locally. How can I solve this problem?
How I just to do this, was just by useSelector(state => state.login.users), but I dont know if something like this is possible, because the createApi is doing the store logic for us.
export const api = createApi({
  reducerPath: "NAME_REDUCER",

Goldman Sachs to invest big on crypto as FSB looks into crypto regulation following FTX fiasco
This move by Goldman Sachs comes at a time when FTX's dramatic collapse has toppled the value of cryptos

After the implosion of FTX, Goldman Sachs, one of the largest investment banks in the world, plans to spend tens of millions on crypto companies whose valuations have gone down, as reported by Reuters.
The crypto market is much less crowded right now battling the effects of the collapse of FTX, and Goldman sees that as an investment opportunity priced sensibly.
Following alarming revelations about its financials and its relationship with Almada Research, FTX filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy on November 11, after it came to light that the CEO of FTX, SBF, allegedly used billions of FTX customer funds to keep his company afloat.
To a market that's already going through a bear run and has faced several high-profile bankruptcies already, the FTX fiasco was downright depressing, with countless people losing all their savings.
"FTX was a poster child in many parts of the ecosystem," said Mathew McDermott, Goldman's head of digital assets. "But to reiterate, the underlying technology continues to perform," he added. "We do see some really interesting opportunities, priced much more sensibly," he further said.
This strange move by Goldman comes at a time when FTX's dramatic collapse has toppled the value of cryptos, following which The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has called for a global framework to supervise and regulate crypto assets. FSB also plans to look into the vulnerabilities of decentralised finance.
On December 6, the board said that it has planned to 'enhance its crypto-assets monitoring network,' which will now include 'DeFi-specific vulnerability indicators.' It will also address the impending impact of DeFi getting closely tied up to traditional financial markets, the board added. FSB said that the 'growing linkage of crypto-asset firms with core financial markets and institutions' means continuously increasing risk to the market from an FTX-like fiasco happening again.
"Crypto trading platforms, combining multiple activities that are normally separated in traditional finance, can lead to concentrations of risk, conflicts of interest, and a misuse of client assets," said the FSB.
This is not the board's first take on the crypto industry. The FSB had previously suggested a comprehensive network for crypto assets to address the potential risks while not shying away from harnessing its potential benefits.
The public can comment on the FSB's recommendations regarding stablecoins till December 15.

Q: What is the expected behavior of unzipping a folder with many directories I have a zipped folder with many directories and I am wondering how would they be unzipped if I were to execute the unzip command with no arguments. An example would be:
home
|---user1
    |---dir1
        |--- file01
        |--- file02
|---user2
    |---dir2
        |---file03
        |---file04

Let's say I zipped both /home/user1/dir1/* and /home/user2/dir2/* in one location and transferred it to another server that has the paths /home/user1 and /home/user2. If I transferred the zipped file to /root and executed unzip folder.zip, what would happen? And how would I get those directories in the same paths in server 2 as they were in server 1?
The whole point is that I have similar environments and I want to be able to transfer from one server to the other a few files but not the entire directory and would I be able to use zip for that, or do I need to zip to one temporary location and then move as necessary.

A: What happens? When you read man unzip, it says the default (with no options) extracts into the current directory (and subdirectories below it) all files from  the specified ZIP archive, creating the subdirectories if they do not exist.
If you want the files extracted into exactly the same path as they came from. you would need to have rights in the destination path. If you do, and you specify the destination for extraction with the -d and specify the destination, the files will be written there.

As One Must One Can

"The heartwarming—and heart wrenching—tale of life for pre-World War I Jewish society. . . . Well-researched and a gem of a novel." —Caroline Giammanco, author of Into the Night In Kansas City, 1907, Havah Gitterman continues her rebellious ways, teaching Hebrew and Humash classes for girls and doing everything she can for her family, even though the nerve pain in her legs continues to plague her, a constant reminder of the pogrom that nearly destroyed her childhood. At home and abroad, anti-Semitism rears its ugly head once again. Havah's husband Arel could go to prison for not observing the Christian Sabbath. Her blind daughter Rachel, a piano prodigy, is taken on a European tour by their family friend, where they are confronted by none other than a young Adolf Hitler. But no matter how often Havah has been thrown about by life, she always lands on her feet. She rises above the close-mindedness that surrounds her to see Rachel play at the White House—and to usher a new life into the world just when all seems lost . . . "As they did in Please Say Kaddish for Me and From Silt and Ashes, the characters shine in the third in Havah's trilogy . . . a story of triumph over adversity." —L.D. Whitaker, author of Soda Fountain Blues "This story of love, joy, conflict and fear kept me turning the pages and taught me many things about Jewish culture." —Jan Morrill, author of The Red Kimono

The Roads of War
During the Civil War, Lewis McCormack has to return to his regiment's training camp, leaving his wife Eliza to tend to their homestead. Rearing children, surviving a declining economy, and paying the family debts leads to intolerable hurdles and even more difficult decisions. Amid the chaos of war, Lewis just wants to stay alive—to make it back to his family.
Meanwhile, Private Davey Morris is detailed as courier and travels through war-torn Pennsylvania to complete his mission, while Private Tandy Strider uses his thirty-day wounded furlough to search for the young prostitute that he has deemed his soulmate.
As the war progresses, Lewis realizes that his soul has hardened—and deep inside, he only feels emptiness. Will Lewis make it through the war? And when he returns, in what state will he find his family? Will they even survive?
In a raw, realistic narrative, The Roads of War exposes the authenticity of battle—the hardships, the struggle, and the yearning for tranquility. John Cameron weaves a true-to-life quilt of human emotion, universal tribulation—and the power of love.
Praise for The Roads of War". . . down-to-earth prose, enthralling characters, and vivid descriptions . . .

His authentic tenacity for showcasing and highlighting the little details, makes The Roads of War an intelligent read.

In the Shadow of the Fire
Hervé Le Corre
As the Paris Commune is destroyed, a Communard searches the embattled city for his missing fiancé in this prize-winning novel: "an astounding epic" (L'Express, FR).
Paris, 1871. The Paris Commune has taken control of the French capitol, but the Communards now face a savage conflict against the French Armed Forces loyal to Versailles in what will come to be known as The Bloody Week. Amid the shrapnel and chaos, while the entire west side of Paris is a field of ruins, a photographer fascinated by the suffering of young women takes "suggestive" photos to sell to a particular clientele.
Then young women begin disappearing, and when a seamstress who volunteers at a first aid station, is counted among the missing, her fiancé—a member of the Commune's National Guard—scours the city for her. Joined in the search by a Communal security officer, their race against the clock takes them through the shell-shocked streets of Paris, and introduces them to a cast of fascinating characters.

Streaming & Technology
Streaming can sound like a daunting experience, but in reality it's a simple job, made easier by the use of wireless technology. Gone are the days of having to take up the floor boards and plaster the walls to hide a few cables!
The ability to play music in any room of your home, without needing to look for the disc first, all achieved with a few quick touches on your smartphone or tablet is extremely liberating. Imagine having instant access to all of your music and indeed online sources of music with over 20 million songs in every room. Streaming opens up the ability for more than one member of the household to listen to the same or indeed a different piece of music simultaneously.
Streaming is simply Musical Freedom - Any Song, Anywhere for Anyone

Everton: Bramley-Moore Dock / September 1, 2017 by Matthew Daly
"A Cauldron of Energy"
It was nearly three years ago that I was first introduced to Everton's CEO Robert Elstone, Deputy CEO Denise Barrett-Baxendale and the club's extremely convivial Chairman, Bill Kenwright. I had never, in my entire career, met a client group more focused on their community or more caring of their fans. Their collective vision, to deliver a "football first" stadium that would be designed specifically for the generations of regular Everton fans, would ensure this project would be very different from the spectacular but often soulless corporate football palaces we have seen developed elsewhere in the U.K. Everton, well known for being an innovative club of "firsts" would once again innovate by looking to its history and build a new ground that would deliver the best of the energy and intimacy of Goodison within a state of the art football ground. I will always remember the words of Robert Elstone: "It should be a "cauldron of energy", with the steepest stands right on top of the pitch, and a massive home end!" From that moment, I was hooked. A few weeks later I saw my first game at Goodison, and I fell in love. Like all attractions, there is something magnetic or chemical about it that truly does make one feel like you are "chosen". I knew at that moment that it was different than any project I had ever pursued or any team I have ever followed...it was in my blood.
It has already been a long journey with some twists and turns. These are extremely complex projects with a plethora of complicated stakeholders, so while I know that fans are extremely eager to see renderings, we are being careful to ensure that what we show, is what we will deliver.
The arrival of Farhad Moshiri as an extremely engaged majority owner and the emergence of Bramley Moore Dock as the preferred site were monumental milestones in this journey. While the challenges of developing a stadium on a UNESCO World Heritage site are far from insignificant, the choice of Bramley Moore as the preferred site by the club was truly inspired, and further evidence of the commitment to the long term best interests of the team and the community.
I believe that the historic fabric of the dock is a priceless asset that will help inform a state of the art stadium unlike any other on the planet and one that will capture the magic and memory of Goodison Park. I am striving for a design that feels like it "grew from the Docks" and can simultaneously look like it is from the future and yet has always been there. Innovation doesn't always mean that a building has the latest bells and whistles, it can often be when a design is reduced to the very essence of its function. One of my favorite quotes is of the author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry:
"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away"
THAT is our true challenge...
P.S. Someone recently tweeted to me that modern English stadiums are no longer intimate or intimidating...that they can't be because of modern regulations etc... to that person I say..."just wait, and see"...

Attack Ads Lead up to Second Presidential Debate
by Marcia Wade Talbert
While the presidential candidates gear up for the second debate Tuesday evening at Belmont University in Tennessee, arrows are flying from one candidate's camp to the other in the form of speeches, e-mails, videos, and commercials that question their opponent's judgment.
As the country dusts off debris from the most testing week on Wall Street in five years, Sen. John McCain, who proclaimed himself the key to unlock the partisan vote on the $700 billion bailout, has decided to aim instead at an explosive figure from Sen. Barack Obama's past, Bill Ayers. Ayers, who served with Obama on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge board, is known most for his involvement with the Weather Underground, a radical left-wing organization responsible for the bombing of the Pentagon and the Capital Building in the early 1970s.
David Axelrod, chief strategist for the Obama campaign, says that at the time, Obama was not aware of Ayers' violent past, according to an interview on CNN.
Sarah Palin, McCain's pick for vice president, brought Ayers up numerous times on the stump over the weekend and again this morning at a rally in Clearwater, Florida.
"This is not a man who sees America as you and I do – as the greatest force for good in the world. This is someone who sees America as 'imperfect enough' to work with a former domestic terrorist who targeted his own country," Palin said.
She also lamented about Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., who criticized America in a fiery church sermon after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Palin's comments on Wright were contrary to McCain's sentiments when he made clear during the primaries that he wouldn't judge Obama for comments made by Wright.
McCain and Palin will be making several pit stops throughout Florida, where Pollster.com figures show Obama leading by 1.5 points.
Obama will only make one appearance before Tuesday's debate, but his campaign has unleashed several videos attacking McCain's use of negative campaigning.
Today, the Obama campaign released an ad that pits McCain against himself. The ad is meant to highlight how McCain rebuked negative campaigns but now has shifted virtually 100% of his campaign's ad budget to negative attack ads, reports the Obama campaign.

With Ayers and Wright entering the news, Obama's campaign is making sure that the voting public is aware of McCain's transgressions with the savings and loan scandals of the 1980s. They sent out an e-mail today pointing supporters to the campaign-sponsored site Keatingeconomics.com, which hosts a 13-minute documentary about McCain's involvement with Charles Keating.
Just months into his Senate career, McCain made what he has called "the worst mistake of my life," according to the Associated Press. He participated in two meetings with banking regulators on behalf of Keating, a friend, campaign contributor, and S&L financier who was later convicted of securities fraud.
The Senate ethics committee investigated five senators' relationships with Keating. It cited McCain for a lesser role than the others, but faulted his "poor judgment."
The Republican's retort to the Keating documentary is an assertion that neither Obama nor the Democratic Party did anything to subvert the crisis on Wall Street. Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI), Peter Wallison, a scholar for the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, and Doug Holtz-Eakin, a senior policy adviser for McCain, said in a conference call to press that "all roads lead back to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac," insinuating that the lack of oversight of the banks led to the collapse of the credit markets worldwide. They claim that in 2005 Republicans wanted to deregulate Fannie and Freddie but Democrats would not allow the bill to pass into the Senate. Additionally, Ryan accused Obama for failing to act during the economic crisis last week.
The GOP has also filed a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging that the Obama campaign accepted donations from foreign nationals and excess contributions from individuals. The complaint asks the FEC to audit the $468 million raised by Obama's campaign.
Also today, a McCain aide said that McCain plans to reduce the budgets of Medicare and Medicaid, which analysts estimate will cut $1.3 trillion over 10 years from the government programs, reports The Wall Street Journal.
