What is a Game Design Document and How to Write it?
Piotr Penar
Let's say you have an idea for the perfect game. You have already acquired investors, you also have a competent team ready to work. It's time to determine the exact content of the game, prepare the list of necessary systems, and to write a plot. Everyone needs to know what to do and how their work will connect with what the rest of the team is doing. How to do it? This is where a Game Design Document comes to the rescue.
In this article you will learn:
What is a Game Design Document (GDD)?
Why is GDD so important?
What should be included in a GDD?
Importance of GDD for game developers
Game Design Document (or GDD) is a compendium of information about the produced game, describing as accurately as possible everything related to it. Contrary to the pitch for investors, GDD meant for the production team, and should exhaustively describe all elements of the game. Its first version is developed in the pre-production phase and is based on prototypes and initial concepts, before even a single line of code for the actual game is written. During the course of the actual production, it is regularly edited and should take into account any changes made along the way.
The Game Design Document plays a vital role in understanding the game's identity and keeping its vision consistent. It is a kind of a bible for the creators and accompanies the entire team working on the game. It also allows to determine how much content will need to be made and how much work will be required to produce it. Thanks to GDD, any team member joining mid-project will understand exactly what they are working on.
The structure of GDD largely depends on the type of game being developed. Depending on the needs and the course of production, its content may differ dramatically or be divided into separate documents dedicated to a specific issue. Nevertheless, we can assume that the most important issues that should be included in such a document are:
A brief summary of what the game is meant to be. Imagine that you want to recommend a new game to a friend and need to briefly explain what it is all about. Operate with references to other games, define the title, genre, audiovisual aesthetics, as well as target platforms and audience of the production.
Story Overview
This is where the key information about the plot should be: what period does the action take place? Is it a realistic or a fantasy world? Who is the hero? What is his long-term motivation? What characters will appear in the game? However, it is worth maintaining a certain moderation: this segment is not the place for a full scenario. It is a guide for the team and is supposed to help set the mood of the production and design the audiovisual setting of the world.
Gameplay and Game Mechanics
Probably one of the longest segments of a GDD. This is where you should put a list of key mechanics and a comprehensive description of the rules governing them. The questions that you should answer in this section could be:
What is the crafting system like?
How many character classes will the player have at their disposal?
How do they gather resources?
What side activities may they encounter in the game world?
How many modes will the game have?
It is worth devoting a separate subsection to each of these elements. Based on early prototypes and proof of the concept, describe the process of creating them and the technologies used - the programmers will appreciate it.
The locations and landscape elements within them should be listed here. A good GDD should describe locations in terms of:
Appearance and intended aesthetics
Main theme - e.g. "medieval castle," "Japanese garden," "underground bunker"
Dominant mood
Purpose of the location
Thanks to this, the artists will be able to do their jobs more efficiently. If the area is to be used as a boss fight room, they will know to place additional medkits and ammunition for the player to gather. If the player is to sneak through the level, they will plan the location of hidden passages, covers, etc.
In this section, describe which musical aesthetics you are measuring. Which instruments best emphasize the atmosphere of the game? What ambient sounds will accompany exploration? Are the noises meant to scare the player or to evoke a feeling of safety? It is worth including exemplary references to the soundtracks of other productions.
Explain which interface elements the player will need and what will be their purpose. This will allow you to make a preliminary estimate if it will not take up too much space on the screen and will not be too distracting. A well-designed interface will provide the player with all the necessary information, while not cluttering the game world.
GDD is of great importance for game development. Not only does it help produce a consistent and thoughtful game; It contains the entire history of the production process, the history of changes, and concepts that were not included in the final product. Even after the project is completed, it is worth keeping such a document and drawing as many conclusions as possible from it. The knowledge it contains can be useful in future productions, and will help avoid repeating past mistakes - this is how the team will learn how to make better and better games.
You already know how important Game Design Documents are. While writing a comprehensive GDD may seem like a daunting task, it doesn't have to be! Its preparation is nothing other than giving your ideas a tangible form! Video games are created mainly by enthusiasts - having faith in the project you are working on significantly speeds up its execution. It is no different from writing GDD! There is nothing to be afraid of - you can only gain from such a document!

Top 10 Criminal lawyers in India and what makes them stand out
Ajay Thakur
This article on top 10 criminal lawyers in India and what makes them stand out is written by Mohammed G A pursuing M.A. in business law from NUJS, Kolkata.
"Better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent sufferer"
– Sir William Blackstone (1765)
In India, a man is presumed as innocent until proven guilty. It is said that ten criminals may be acquitted, but no innocent person should be convicted. Presumption of innocence is a principle which is enshrined in Indian criminal jurisprudence. Innocence and guilt is to be determined with references to offences or crimes, so it is not appropriate to use the terms when we speak of civil matters. It has been held that it is trite law that presumption of innocence is a human right and cannot be overthrown. But it has to be applied subject to certain exceptions. (Noor Aga v. State of Punjab (2008). Further, in Vinod Solanki v. Union of India, the Supreme Court held:
"It is now a well-settled principle that presumption of innocence as contained in Article 14(2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights is a human right although per se it may not be treated to be a fundamental right within the meaning of Article 21 of the Constitution of India".
It is not sensible for a lawyer to refuse to defend a person on the ground that people believe him to be criminal and in such cases lawyer himself is guilty of professional misconduct. The defence of a criminal is a professional duty of an advocate and special rules have been framed by the Bar of Council of India under the Advocate Act 1961. The Bar Council of India Rules says that "an advocate shall defend a person accused of a crime regardless of his personal opinion as to the guilt of the accused, bearing in mind that his loyalty is to the law which requires that no man should be convicted without adequate evidence". Hence, it is a professional/ethical duty of the lawyer to take up the case of a client based on his consciences and try to defend him.
Criminal Lawyers and their attributes:
According to William S. Burroughs "Criminal is one of the few professions where the client buys someone's luck. The luck of most people is strictly non-transferable. But a good criminal lawyer can sell all his luck to client and the more the luck he sells the more he has to sell.
The qualities/attributes to become a successful criminal lawyer is, one needs to be dedicated, willing to put in hard work, have lots of stamina and loads of perseverance. These four qualities and integrity are fundamental to a successful career in criminal law. It has been believed by people that criminal law involves limited drafting and that the workload is not heavy. But be it a trial strategy, a bail or a cross-examination, one has to put in long hours of research before work begins in court. Further, according to Clarence Darrow, "to be an effective criminal defense counsel, an attorney must be prepared to be demanding, outrageous, irreverent, blasphemous, a rogue, a renegade, and a hated, isolated, and lonely person – few love a spokesman for the despised and the damned."

Top Criminal lawyers in India
This article highlights the profile of top 10 criminal lawyers in India and their contribution to the development of criminal law jurisprudence in India. However, coming up with any kind of list is fraught with danger, especially a list of the country's top ten criminal lawyers! I will almost certainly be accused of acts of omission and commission. This selection of the lawyers in the top 10 criminal category is based on the consideration of various factors such as their rankings on various newspapers/magazines surveys; by asking fellow colleagues for their opinion on top criminal lawyers; number of high profile/landmark cases in which they are either defending or arguing a case in the Supreme Court or any other high court of India; their contribution to the development of criminal law jurisprudence, amount of fees they are charging for their legal services; comparing their knowledge, acumen and skills with that of others; their ability to persuade a judge that is diametrically opposite to his initial proceeding; how they have reshaped the perceptions of government, the judiciary and the public.
The lawyers in these in this top 10 category are regarded as most sought-after lawyers in criminal cases and whenever a dispute or controversy arises in politics, business, sports or even in the private lives of public personalities makes headlines, top lawyers of the country cannot remain away from the headlines.
RAM JETHMALANI: A LEGENDARY CRIMINAL LAWYER
Mr. Ram Boolchand Jethmalani (born 14 Sep 1923) is the best veteran criminal lawyer in India, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and Emeritus professor of law. He has served as India's Union Law Minister and as chairman of the Bar Council of India.
He is the highest paid lawyer in the country; he charges Rs. 40 lakh for taking up the case and Rs. 10 to 20 lakhs per appearance thereafter. However, he claims that 90 percent of the cases he has fought are free of cost. At the age of 93, he has the distinction of being one of the oldest active lawyers of the country and at 18 he was the youngest member of the bar. An exception was made out for him to enable to enable him to join the bar the age of 18 because the minimum age for enrolling as a lawyer was 21 then.
He is very best at cross-examination of witnesses and his skills as trial lawyer are enviable. He has defended for clients whose political ideology is vastly different from his own, and he has represented people from extremely different social backgrounds. Mr. Ram Jethmalani has several high profile defense cases to his credit. From appearing in famous KM Nanavati vs Maharashtra government case in 1959 to 2G accused in multi-crore 2G spectrum scam in 2011, he has represented all kind of matters.

Jethmalani was also the lawyer of Manu Sharma, convicted in Jessica Lall murder case.
He defended underworld don Haji Mastan in smuggling cases.
He appeared for Amit Shah in several fake encounter cases including Sohrabuddin Sheikh Encounter case.
He defended the Gujarat government in the 2002 riots cases.
He argued for the 2G scam accused Kanimozhi.

He appeared for Ansals in Delhi's Uphaar cinema tragedy.
He argued for Jayalalithaa, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, convicted in the disproportionate assets case.
He argued for Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy's special leave petition on stay for CBI probe on money laundering in his companies.
He argued for Lalu Prasad Yadav in the fodder scam.
He argued for Subrata Roy in Sahara-SEBI case.
He had defended former Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa in an illegal mining case.
Recently he defended former Siwan MP Mohammad Shahabuddin, a murder convicts bail in the apex court.
GOPAL SUBRAMANIUM: CONTROVERSY'S KING
Gopal Subramanium, aged 56, is a Senior Advocate who practices primarily in the Supreme Court of India and the Delhi High Court. He has served as the Solicitor General of India from 2009-2011 and also served as Chairman of Bar Council of India during his stint as the Solicitor General. He was the key person responsible in the introduction of the All India Bar Examination, a mandatory test for law graduates to be eligible to practice in India.
In 1993, Mr. Subramanium was designated a Senior Advocate suo-moto by the Supreme Court, one of the youngest to be so designated in the Supreme Court's history. Gopal Subramanium charges a fees of Rs 7 to 15 lakh per appearance in the Supreme Court and for appearance before the Delhi high court he charges Rs 11 to 16.5 lakh. And in case of tribunals, he charges at Rs 25 lakh per hearing.
He is a highly acclaimed lawyer, who represented the government as a lead counsel in a wide range of matters involving complex questions of criminal law such as:
He represented the State of Bombay as Special Public prosecutor in the terrorist attack case in Mumbai in which Kasab's death sentence was confirmed
Acted as lead counsel for the union government in 2010-2011 in litigation concerning irregularities in allocation of 2G radio-spectrum bandwidth to various private telecom operators
Represented the government of India in the matter of Ashoka Kumar Thakur v. Union of India, wherein he defended state-sponsored reservations for Other Backward Classes of persons in India.
He is also appeared on behalf of the state in the 1993 Bombay blasts case before the Supreme Court.
Acted as amicus curiae to the Supreme Court in the case of Bachpan Bachao Andolan v. Union of India, where he presented a report on the realities of trafficking of children in India and assisted the Supreme Court in framing guidelines to deal with the menace of trafficking.
He assisted the apex Court as Amicus curiae in many cases including Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case.
After resigning as a solicitor general, he appeared in a case against the appointment of SEBI chief. The UP government fielded him when a petition against grand prix Formula – I race was filed just ahead of the event. He represented Novartis in the case Novartis v. Union of India & others concerning ever-greening of patents.
K.T.S TULSI: THE PHILANTHROPIST
A former additional solicitor general of India and Supreme Court senior counsel K.T.S Tulsi is a legal luminary. He worked part time as a lecturer (1973-76) before beginning a successful career in criminal law. He has authored 2 books- Tulsi Digest of Accident Claims Cases and Goswami and Tulsi's Landlord & Tenant Cases. In 1976, he was appointed a reporter of the Indian Law Reports (Punjab Series).
Though the pen remains his favorite weapon he gradually drifted to the field of criminal law on his appointment as a Special Prosecutor against terrorists in Punjab, Delhi and Assam. While terrorism was raging in Punjab and no lawyer was willing to come forward and prosecute the terrorists, Mr. Tulsi accepted the onerous responsibility of prosecuting 'A' grade terrorists including the cases of Operation Black Thunder, attempt on the life of Mr. JF Rebeiro, Talwara Bank Dacoity case etc. After his appointment as ASG he represented the state before more than 10 Constitution Benches of the Supreme Court, in several important cases, including the constitutional validity of the Terrorists and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act, cases arising out of the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, the Bombay Blast case, the Calcutta Bomb Blast case as well as important cases against various terrorist organizations such as JKLF, LTTE, PWG, etc.
His ethics set him apart from other lawyers as seen when he made headlines for refusing to argue cases for the Gujrat government in the Sohrabuddin encounter case. Despite his high fees of 5 lakh per appearance, he is known to provide free assistance to needy people. For example, he was responsible for the successful prosecution of the Uphaar tragedy case on behalf of the victims against the Ansals lasting for a little less than 10 years. Mr. Tulsi has set new standards of public service amongst lawyers and has revived public faith and confidence in the legal community. Tulsi recently took up the case of Devinder Pal Singh Bhullar who is facing death sentence for a terror attack in Delhi. The idea was not to re-open the case but to save Bhullar from the gallows. He has sought commutation of his death sentence to life imprisonment on the ground of inordinate delay of eight years by the President in deciding his mercy plea.
A nominated member of the Rajya Sabha, he has proved his dedication to public service time and again. He was elected as president of criminal justice society of India and continues to hold the position till date. His humanity is what distinguishes him as a successful lawyer.
SUSHIL KUMAR: THE SHERWANI-CLAD
A sherwani clad leading criminal lawyer seldom goes unnoticed in the corridors of the apex court. A senior advocate of the Supreme Court Sushil Kumar is seen as the "only one" who can always manage to make holes in the prosecution theory and win his client the benefit of doubt. "There are many who can get notice on an appeal but when it comes to final arguments on merits, one needs Kumar to get an acquittal" say his juniors.
A spiritual person at heart, he is greatly influenced by the teachings of Krishnamurthy, a renowned philosopher. As he rightly once said " I must love what I am studying" and no one proves this more than Kumar who is known to read court cases even in his free time.
He is seen as the go to person for high profile criminal cases and he has commendable record to show for it. Some of his clients include parliamentary attacker Mohammed Afzal guru, 2G accused A. Raja and Kanimozhi; CWG scam accused Suresh Kalmadi; terrorist Abdul Naseer Maudany. He also defended for Ansals in the Uphaar fire tragedy case and appeared for P Rajagopal, a restaurant owner who was facing life sentence for murder. His fees of 5.5 lakh for per court appearance is enough to convince anyone of his skill in the court room.
Shanti Bhushan: Former Law Minister of India
Shanti Bhushan (born 11 Nov 1925) is a former law minister of India holding office at the ministry of law and justice under the Morarji Desai ministry. He is a very senior advocate of the Supreme Court. At a time when both the bar and the bench are under a cloud, the illustrious sixty –year career of Shanti Bhushan is a source of inspiration for young advocates.
He was witness to the formative years of the Indian republic. As the law minister he introduced forty fourth amendment of the constitution of India which repealed many provisions of the forty-second amendment of the constitution introduced by the Indira Gandhi govt. His dominance in the political field is matched by his mastery in court. Some of his landmark cases include the Keshav Singh case of 1964 which led to the first stand-off between the judiciary and executive; Indira Gandhi election case which unseated her as prime minister leading to the imposition of emergency, the habeas corpus case where supreme court declared that during an emergency there is no right to life or liberty and hence no recourse against illegal retention. He appeared for two of the defendants accused in the 1993 Bombay bomb blasts case. He represented Shaukat Hussain in 2008 for an appeal against his 10 year conviction for his role in 2001 parliamentary attacks which resulted in an acquittal of all charges of conspiracy but convicting him on a charge for which he was never accused. He defended V.S. Achuthanandan in the Apex Court in the Idamalayar Dam corruption case against UDF leader R. Balakrishna Pillai and others. He also appeared for Transparency International in the Provident Fund scandal case of Ghaziabad and for H. D. Deve Gowda in a petition related to allocation of land for Bangalore – Mysore Infrastructure Corridor.
Known to be vocal against all manners of injustice, he became one of the founding members of center for public interest litigation, a non-govt organization that conducts litigations on all matters of public interest. His activism during the lokpal bill campaign resulted in him joining the drafting committee of the Jan lokpal bill, constituted by government of India, representing the civil society.
Shanti Bhushan, along with his son Prashant Bhushan have been involved in pressing for accountability in the Indian Judiciary by setting up Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Judicial Reform (CJAR) The father-son duo are currently facing charges for contempt of court in Supreme Court of India for their statement about corruption in higher judiciary specifically, former chief justices of Supreme Court. During a hearing on the running case for contempt of court in November 2010, Shanti Bhushan went on to say, "The question of apology does not arise. I am prepared to go to jail." His fiery passion for the law gives some hope of justice to the common man.
MAJEED MEMON: NOTED CRIMINAL LAWYER
Majid Memon (born 12 Dec1945) is a leading criminal lawyer and leader of Nationalist Congress party. He has appeared for various Indian personalities including politicians, human rights activists and film actors in criminal matters.
Memon has defended several persons detained under The Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA), in many high profile cases, including those related to bomb blasts in Mumbai. His landmark case was arguing for 1993 convict Yakub Memon but could not set him free. He also appeared for Raj Kundra, Rajasthan Royals co-owner who was facing allegations of betting in the Indian Premier League matches; represented for musician Nadeem's extradition trial in the Gulshan Kumar murder case. He also gave this opinion in the trial of exiled Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
His typical legal style of arguing in the court is by keeping his right leg on a chair. According to India today, his fee per day is believed to be Rs 10 lakh and charges Rs 2 lakh for just securing a bail in a session's court.
UJWAL NIKAM: A MAN WITH LION HEART
A Padma Shri awardee Ujjwal Nikam is a public prosecutor in the true sense. In the history of India's legal system, his name will always be written in golden words. He is not just a lawyer, a public prosecutor, but he is a man with lion heart. He started out as district government public prosecutor of his native district (Jalgaon) but soon made headlines after taking up the role of public prosecutor in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case and subsequently brought all the culprits to justice. Soon after he was involved in similar high profile cases like – Pramod Mahajan murder case, Gulshan Kumar murder case, Ajmal Kasab trial case, 2013 Mumbai gang rape case etc. In Dec 2010 he represented government of India in the worldwide convention on terrorism held by UN, New York.
His 30 – year outstanding legal career has revived faith in the Indian judiciary system which otherwise seems very outdated and slow. His integrity and values instilled in him by his father Deoraoji Nikam of standing against all ills make him one of the most respected members of the legal community.
He is known to enjoy the publicity garnered by his cases rather than shun it. His peculiar style of courtroom mannerisms make the most boring cases full of drama, for example in the case against Ajmal Kasab, he used the media to incite public outrage to influence the trial. Despite his high success rate he is underpaid i.e. approx. Rs. 40,000 per appearance compared to other lawyers of his rank, the reason for this he says is not fame but the allure of being a household name that drives him.
L. NAGESWARA RAO: SOFT-SPOKEN CANNON
From a humble beginning as a small time lawyer in Hyderabad to being selected directly from the bar for direct appointment as a supreme court judge Lavu Nageswara Rao has travelled quite a distance in his career. He was also a senior advocate and additional solicitor general of India. Rao (46 years) started out as one of the many struggling lawyers in the Andhra Pradesh high court. But after a decade of chequered career, he hit upon the idea of moving to the Supreme Court "If I have to compete with the best in the country, I thought I must be I Delhi", he says of his shift. Known for his reserve and soft-spokeness, he says" Performance cannot be a flash in a pan, it should be consistent. In the Supreme Court lawyers are our clients and convincing a layman is easier than a lawyer". Rao has successfully handled some tough cases involving the chief minister of Assam (former), Prafulla Kumar Mohanta; appearing for the speaker of Haryana in an anti-defection case, the excise case in Kerala etc. He scripted the return of J. Jayalalithaa as Tamil Nadu chief minister after her acquittal in Karnataka high court on corruption charges.
Another feather in the cap for the celebrated lawyer was his appointment into the Mudgal committee to look into the IPL spot-fixing and betting scandal. His reliability is reflected in the cases he handles and rightfully charges 3-3.5 lakhs for an appearance in the Supreme Court.
SATISH MANESHINDE: ELSEWHERE JUNIOR OF RAM JETHMALANI
Satish Maneshinde is a top notch criminal lawyer, who had originally came to Mumbai in 1983 as a penniless law graduate from Kawar, Karnataka. For 10 years, he worked as Junior of Senior counsel Ram Jethmalani, practising both civil and criminal law. He became famous after he secured a bail for for Sanjay Dutt in the Bombay blast case and for Salman Khan who allegedly killed one person while driving drunk.
He argues calmly in court and looks straight into the judge's eyes. Some of the high-profile cases/clients represented by Mr. Maneshinde include: securing bail for Salman Khan in drunken driving case where he allegedly killed one person; Supercop Daya Nayak (in a disproportionate assets case), top bookie Shoban Mehta; ganglord Chhota Rajan's wife Sujata Nikalje in a case under the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act; representing Rakhi Sawant when a youth committed suicide after she called him namard (impotent). According to India today, his fee per day is believed to be Rs 10 lakh.
Shrikant Shivade: Cross-examination expert
The man who prefers not to be called a celebrity lawyer. "My father was with the police force. I have seen the worst of it and it is probably why I defend the few who have been falsely implicated," he says. The lawyer has been defending persons implicated in TADA cases.
Shivade's first and most "interesting" celebrity case was the Bharat Shah case, the trial of a diamond merchant and film financier Bharat Shah and others who are facing charges of aiding underworld don Chhota Shakeel. The 81-year-old Jadhav, who had known Shivade for over 20 years then, says, he was "one of the best cross-examiners for criminal cases". Bar Council of India has suspended for three years the licence of advocate Shrikant Shivade who has represented bigwigs like diamond merchant and film financier Bharat Shah and former Mumbai police chiefs R D Tyagi and R S Sharma. Shivade whose promising career graph had taken off when he became Bharat Shah's lawyer in the Bollywood-underworld nexus case in 2001, had been assisting noted defence counsel V R Manohar in many high-profile cases, including the Telgi scam. He recently represented Salman Khan in hit & run case and helped him in securing a bail.

Why not Shahid Azmi is on this list? Very Disappointed After not seeing his name. He was A Legendary lawyer.He had a great record of 17 acquittals in just 7 years. You can watch movie Shahid (2013) which is based on him. In this list Ram jeth Malani was on the top and called legendary but I believe Shahid Azmi was more of legend than him as he had always fought for poor innocent and needy persons.

An absolute wrong list, half of them don't even know what criminal law is. Arguing a case or if I may say a high profile case in Supreme Court is no bench mark. Has Ram Jethmalani SUCESSFULlY defended anybody? The ans is No. Manu Sharma is best example of his capability. Even in a no evidence case and that too after acquittal ,Mr noted criminal lawyer was able to get him life sentence. Well I can go on and on with his list but won't waste much time . I agree that there are few very good lawyers in the list like Mr Gopal , Mr LN Rao etc, but what's a public prosecutor doing in that list? Does prosecuting Kasab makes him a good lawyer? Forget criminal. With the kind of evidence against him , even a fresh law graduate would have got Kasab the same punishment. Please do some research before advertising for certain people Me Writor.


Cicero Silva began his career in art over 30 years ago. His first foray into the art world was as a designer of spaces and booths for trade shows. This profession brought him into contact with many demanding, high-level clients, for whom he would translate business models and products into an interesting and productive display. In doing so, he was constantly working with ideas of proportion accuracy, and measure. He would faithfully pursue new trends, consistently providing his clients with the best way to showcase their business.
Silva now works with three-dimensional colored wooden shapes - cubes, cylinders, cones. Each shape is carefully painted, and painstakingly attached to a canvas-covered wooden backing. As the cubes and cones interact with the canvas surface and with surrounding shapes, they form intricate geometrical patters and shadows which are interesting to look at from every angle.


Elon Musk is in trouble for tweeting again.
Last week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk couldn't contain himself — he had to tweet about his electric car company.
The problem? After he reached a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last year over his now infamous "funding secured" tweet, he isn't supposed to tweet about things that could impact markets and his publicly traded company without approval from Tesla.
Now Bloomberg reports that the SEC is asking a judge to hold Musk in contempt for tweeting Tesla would make "around 500K" cars in 2019.
On the same day of the original tweet, a few hours later, Musk amended his comment, clarifying that he meant 500,000 cars would be made on an "annualized production rate" based on 10,000 cars made per week.
Meant to say annualized production rate at end of 2019 probably around 500k, ie 10k cars/week. Deliveries for year still estimated to be about 400k.
The tweets remained on his Twitter feed as of Monday afternoon. In fact, he continues to tweet — he posted a meme as news broke about the SEC's actions.
The SEC declined to comment beyond a 17-page motion filed Monday.
In the document the SEC said it reached out to Musk and Tesla the day after the Feb. 19 tweet and found out the tweet had not been pre-approved before it went out.
Musk apparently thought the Tesla earnings call in January counted as pre-approval for his comments, "because he thought he was simply recapitulating information that had already been pre-approved," the SEC wrote.


This is Radio One's bizarre official line on Frankie Goes To Hollywood's controversial hit 'Relax'.
In fact, 'Relax' was being played on Radio One up to last Wednesday—when breakfast show DJ Mike Read declared the record "obscene".
Now Radio One controller Derek Chinnery has labelled it unsuitable for daytime play.
The record is still being played on leading commercial stations such as Capital in London and Piccadilly in Manchester.
Capital total No.1: "Tony Hale, the head of music, listened to it yesterday after he heard about the Radio One ban and he didn't feel it was harmful enough to stop playing it.
The band themselves can't see what the fuss is about. They've already performed 'Relax' on both The Tube and Top Of The Pops, and are hoping to get TOTP exposure again this week.
"The press like to have somebody they can say is shocking," lead singer Holly Johnson told No.1 after Mike Read's ban was reported in The Sun.
Ironically, the furore about 'Relax' could propel it to the very top of the chart. Released way back on November 4, it was the debut release for both Frankie and Trevor Horn's record label ZTT.
It first entered the Top 75 on November 19, and lurked between there and the lower thirties until Frankie's first TOTP appearance suddenly shot it into the Top 10. Now it's a strong contender for No.1.
In anticipation of that, the band have just recorded a new video—as their first effort has also been branded "obscene". Full story and exclusive pictures from that first video are on page 10.

While visiting Hong Kong, I made a half-day trip to visit Che Kung Temple or also known as Windmill Temple.
After getting off from the MTR and walking for 10 minutes, I then saw the gate of the temple. Similar to other temples in Hong Kong, the main color was red.
Near the entrance gate, there were several spiral incense sticks hanging from the ceiling.
Not so far from the gate, I started seeing the windmills.
A giant statue of Che Kung was located at the main worship hall. People hold three incense sticks and bowed three times to the Che Kung statues to wish for luck. Don't forget to rotate the fan-bladed wheel of fortune three times and beat the drum in front of the statue. It is believed that it will bring the luck in the coming year.
Before leaving the temple, you could buy the windmills as a souvenir for family or friends. The biggest one was a bit pricey. If you like it, you might choose the smaller one.
Location: Che Kung Temple is located on Che Kung Miu Road, Tai Wai, Sha Tin, New Territories. The temple is located between MTR Che Kung Temple Station and MTR Tai Wai Station. I went to the temple by get off at Che Kung Temple Station and take exit B. Then, walk for 10 minutes. Well, some said that MTR Tai Wai Station is closer to the temple.
Have you ever been to Che Kung Temple, Hong Kong? Do you like it there? Share your experience with me in the comment!

<- cooling fans and thermodynamics
the Gilligan report on cycling in Oxford - a quick look ->
yes, Norway is expensive
Travel — comparisons, finance — August 2018
It seems to be everyone's first question about Norway. And yes, it is indeed expensive.
I won't tell you how much we spent in five days there, but if you count on spending a third to a half more than you would in the UK you won't be far wrong. Usually I use cash for nearly everything, but here I switched to using my Transferwise debit card, onto which I had put more Norwegian krone than we could possibly spend (though we came closer than expected), and tried not to think about prices.
We did quite a bit of travelling: the express train from the airport into Oslo, trains from Oslo to Myrdal and then down to Flåm, a taxi to Aurland, the bus tour up to the Stegastein viewpoint, the ferry from Aurland to Bergen, and two taxi trips in Bergen. And there's not much accommodation in some areas, so our hotel in Aurland was expensive. We also ate out quite a bit, which is around 50% more expensive than in the UK; food bought in the supermarkets was similarly expensive. Those were the (relatively) most expensive things.
Other things seemed relatively cheap, or at least only normally expensive.
Our hotel in Oslo, the Thon Spectrum, was (on special) 4800 kr (about £450) for three nights, which seemed roughly on a par with UK rates for similar hotels. It was a nice hotel, and had probably the best hotel breakfast we've ever found.
The museums we visited weren't expensive: 130 kr per adult for the Norske Folkemuseum, 100 for the Viking Ship Museum, and 120 for the National Gallery. And children were free at all three. (For comparison, the Folkemuseum is only two thirds as much as the Weald and Downland Museum near Chichester.)
I bought a guide to the buildings at the Folkemuseum. This is a really nicely produced 160 page hardcover with full colour photographs, including a general introduction as well as descriptions of the buildings and their background, and I thought I'd misheard -- possibly missing a digit -- when the cashier told me it was only 99 kr. (The other book we bought was Egner's When the Robbers Came to Cardamon Town, recommended in a bookshop as a Norwegian classic; that was 250 kr, but was a nice hardcover edition. And Helen almost convinced me to buy a biography of Edvard Grieg at the airport on the way home, after I read her the first few pages; that was 200 kr, an ok price for a small hardcover.)
Public transport in Oslo is prima facie more expensive than London or Oxford, with a basic ticket 35 kr (about £3) or 18 for a child. But this gets one access for an hour to all transport in Zone 1, which at about 20km E-W and 30km N-S includes pretty much the entire city (and 105 kr gets one a day ticket): so actually cheaper for many purposes, and certainly simpler and better integrated. Oslo public transport is also clean, comfortable, high frequency, and comprehensive. The express train from the airport into Oslo central (47km) was 190 kr per adult, which seems comparable to the Heathrow Express, though the pricing for the latter is much more variable. In general public transport pricing in Norway seemed less likely to shaft occasional or out-of-town users than in the UK.
For more comprehensive numbers, see this cost of living comparison. We should clearly have tried to find some way of putting Helen into daycare for a week!

Eromanga vs Saekano: Show, Not Tell
June 22, 2017 crispyn64
I know I said last time that I'd have another Persona feature to share before I go back to writing about anime, but I figured because this season is almost over, I should touch upon the things that I wanted to before they become no longer "currently airing". Just know you haven't heard the last from me in regards to Persona 5, a.k.a. the best game ever made with best girl ever made (Makoto).
Fictional shows about the process of creation have always been somewhat of a comfort food of mine. While usually not as educational as a full-on documentary, mocumentaries and slices of life with a focus on creative work life have always piqued a very special intrigue in me. I consider myself a creator after all (though not quite an accomplished one, yet), so it does feel valuable to me to see things like the struggles of creation/production, and also feels incredibly entertaining when seen through the lens of a more focused, idealistic perspective.
From some shows I can get interesting, realistic insights into the industry (like Shirobako), and in others I can find more subjective wisdom from the minds of the creators themselves. What the world looks like in the eyes of a "creative", what it means to be an artist, what defeat feels like and how to pick yourself back up: lessons like these can always be repeated because creation is a constant struggle, not a state of being, and so it's nice to have vicarious reminders every so often.
One more plus side that these kind of settings entail is that they allow for characters to be more "meta". I'm a sucker for self/genre-referential humor, Abed from Community being one of my favorite characters ever made. An intelligent acknowledgement of what came before goes a long for way for me, as an understanding of one's own genre conventions is key in finding a way to differentiate oneself. References rely on the viewer knowing something outside of the show they're watching, and while sometimes that might leave some feeling excluded, those that do understand any given allusion get a nice little sense of vindication for knowing trivial facts that ultimately have no use in the real world. But who needs the real world anyway? 2D girls are much nicer to me.
Ahem, anyway, when it comes to characters in these "creative shows", I think I have found a clear differentiator that separates the "good" creator characters from the undeserved. You see, creator is a status, something you get from actually creating something. If you are a writer, you write. If you are an illustrator, you illustrate. If you are a musician, you music the heck out of stuff. Point is, if you are a creator, you need proof that you have indeed created something. In fictional shows, having a writer character might be tough because you'd have to essentially write a story within a story…well, you don't really need to go that far. At the end of the day though, writers should have something to show for themselves, even if they're fictional writers, and merely telling an audience that a character is a writer just isn't good enough.
The saying isn't "tell, don't show", and yet here we are with an anime that does just that. Eromanga Sensei is a lot of things, but a show that proves its characters to be what they say they are is not one of them. The show is a bit too idealistic, even for my wildly optimistic standards, as it presents itself with not one, not two, but three early-teenaged accomplished writers, that combined have sold millions upon millions of light novels. Now, I'm not too familiar with the Japanese light novel industry, so feel free to give me your insights if you have them in the comments below, but I do know that the industry is quite large, and in this age of technology and information I'm sure young authors could be able to carve out their niche and sell respectable amounts of copies. It's not even out of the realm of possibility for one to get a major publishing deal, but all three? With sales in the millions? And all in a love triangle? With an even younger sister that's a professional erotic illustrator?
But I'm getting way off track. The important thing to take away from this is that they have sold "millions of copies". "Millions". This is one of the few identifying factors that Eromanga Sensei uses to let the audience know what these characters are. The movement of pen on paper, typing on a keyboard, handing over manuscripts, and the mention of their sales figures; this is how we as an audience are supposed to know that these characters are writers…and to be honest, it's kinda lazy.
Eromanga Sensei relies on everything but actual writing to imbue us with a false sense of ability for these characters. The audience doesn't witness real writing almost ever, and are instead supplemented with impressive sales numbers and the reactions of other characters to a given piece of work. You can't even garner any useful information from most of the remarks being made by fellow peers—as if there would be no criticisms between professional authors, nothing wise or even a tad bit substantial to say when they read each other's drafts. Instead, we get moments of like this:
There's a difference between talking the talk and walking the walk, and I'm glad at least one show this season understands that. Saekano Flat (that's season two) really proved that its creator characters are actually creators. While the real production staff of the show didn't build the entire visual novel that the show's fictional protagonist group set out to make, they did give us more than enough glimpses and information on what the game was going to be. Utaha's plot and themes are divulged, Eriri's illustrations are shown (especially the crucial ones), Michiru…well, last season she had a performance, this season she just completely took a back seat, and Megumi actually acted out a part of the game during the school festival.
In Saekano, the characters feel like actual creators because their creations are demonstrated, not through montages, but through showing their meetings, practice, location scouting, and real, meaningful dialogue between the characters. These characters have something to truly show for themselves, which is more than you can say for the cast of Eromanga Sensei, whose work is never shown to us, the audience. And it's this differentiator that divides archetypal ideas of characters from original, fleshed-out persons that not only have their dreams and their accomplishments, but everything in between.

Playing today on the fictional Cape Misfortune FM – broadcasting from the foggiest spot on the Pacific Northwest coast. Some local tunes and old favourites.
Interviewed by fellow author Lizzie Stevens.
"Cape Misfortune" is a fantasy adventure about a disgraced Sheriff's deputy on the foggy Pacific Northwest coast. Her world is turned upside down investigating disappearances that may be supernatural in origin.
I'm hoping to turn "Cape Misfortune" into a series. I'm also writing some steampunk-inspired short stories I hope to collect in a book.
Huge amounts, although I try and smuggle experiences in so it's not too obviously autobiographical. Characters are usually secretly based on real people. It's quite good fun putting yourself, or people you know, in a fantasy situation.
I've always enjoyed writing. I wrote plays at university and worked as a news reporter. I had cancer (I'm now in complete remission) and my prognosis wasn't initially very good. It convinced me to finish a novel I had been planning for years called "The Mouth." It's set in places I grew up in but in an alternate universe where things have gone badly wrong. I submitted it and got lucky when a great outfit called Solstice Publishing picked it up.
What do you do to relax and recharge your batteries? I love the great outdoors when I can get out there. I enjoy oil painting and a bit of archery in the summer.
I daydream quite a lot. At night ideas arrive while I'm dropping off to sleep. I keep a pad by the bed because if I don't write it down the idea will have disappeared by the morning.
Do you feel humor is important in books and why?
I do. It's part of the human experience and a way of connecting with characters. There is humor even in the bleakest situations.
Working as a news reporter on a national newspaper taught me the importance of research. In a story I generally use real places as a starting point, even though they end up fictionalised. The Internet is a real help if you can't physically get to a location – Google Earth Street View, live cams, police radio, talking to people online. It all adds authenticity. Even building a fantasy world is helped by researching world folklore and mythology.
I studied English at Oxford. I worked on farms in Australia before working in publishing and journalism. I live in a village in Kent.
Isaac Asimov said "Just write every day of your life…Then see what happens." I think that is good advice. I generally try to schedule time each day.
I like looking at art, particularly paintings. I also enjoy world cinema, old horror movies, and binge-watching tv shows.
Who are some of your other favorite authors to read? Thinking about it, they are mainly fantasy writers like Susan Cooper, Alan Garner, Jules Verne, Stephen King, Alan Moore.
After you've written your book and it's been published, do you ever buy it and/or read it?
I buy it, yes. I don't read it immediately, though. When you're close to it you still feel the urge to revise! Later it seems more like a done deal. You can appreciate it as a book.
It gives life meaning. It's making something, which is always satisfying.
If you weren't writing, what would you be doing?Reading more things written by other people. Possibly slouching in front of the tv eating potato chips.
Are there any words of encouragement for unpublished writers? Keep writing because it is one of those activities where you are always learning.

Report Claims California Watchdog for Judicial Ethical Violations is Too Lenient, Secretive
California and the Nation
Commission director Victoria Henley (photo: LinkedIn)
By Bob Egelko, New York Times
SAN FRANCISCO -- California's judicial disciplinary agency is too lenient and too secretive, an advocacy group charged Monday in a report submitted to the Legislature.
The Commission on Judicial Performance, established in 1960 as the first agency in any state with the power to investigate judges for ethical violations, dismisses nearly 90 percent of the public complaints it receives and imposes discipline much less often than similar agencies in Arizona, Texas and New York, the report said. It was issued by Court Reform LLC, a nonprofit headed by Joseph Sweeney, an East Bay mathematician who said he was partly motivated by his encounters with family law courts.
``California has fallen behind its peers in judicial accountability'' and ``fails to protect the public from judicial misconduct,'' Sweeney's group told a state Assembly subcommittee that oversees the commission's $4.3 million budget.
The report did not identify any abusive or unethical judges who were allowed to stay on the bench. But the advocacy group said the commission's proceedings are virtually impossible to monitor because most of them -- complaints against judges, the judges' responses and the commission's decisions to dismiss complaints -- are sealed from the public.
The commission releases a summary of the complaint and the judge's reply only in the small fraction of cases that result in public disciplinary action, for the most serious misconduct.
In other disciplinary cases, when the commission finds the misbehavior to be relatively minor, it withholds the documents and issues a private reprimand.
The report called for an end to private disciplinary actions and for a state audit of the commission.
The commission -- three judges, two lawyers and six public members -- has the power to publicly reprimand a judge, issue a censure for more severe misconduct or remove a judge from office, an order that the judge can appeal to the state Supreme Court.
During the past decade, the report said, the commission has received an average of 1,082 complaints against judges each year and has taken public disciplinary action against 67 judges per year, with 34 judges per year leaving office after disciplinary complaints.
Based on the number of complaints received in other states, the report said, New York's agency was more than twice as likely to impose public discipline as the California commission, Texas' agency was nearly three times as likely, and Arizona's was four times as likely.
In response, Victoria Henley, the commission's director and chief counsel, said the report's statistics were ``extremely flawed.'' For example, she said, Sweeney's group counted informal advisories and warnings to judges as disciplinary actions in Arizona but not in California.
She said one likely reason New York and Texas discipline judges at a higher rate than California is that all judges in California are lawyers, but 40 percent of the judges in New York, and as many as 50 percent in Texas, are non-lawyers.
Henley also said private reprimands of judges serve important purposes -- educating the judge, deterring future misconduct and justifying increased punishment for further violations.
But Sweeney said California voters, who decide whether to elect or retain the 2,200 members of the nation's largest judicial system, are entitled to learn about accusations of wrongdoing and how they are handled.
``The public needs as much information as possible about potential misconduct,'' Sweeney said.
``The public should be able to sort out for itself whether a complaint is frivolous.''

Review: 2009 Ford Flex Limited [w/VIDEO]
Jul 17th 2008 at 7:00PM
2009 Ford Flex – Click above for high-res image gallery
When the Ford Fairlane concept bowed in Detroit in 2005, it proved that Ford could design a stylish crossover recognizable from a mile away. Unfortunately, Ford didn't exactly have a stellar record of bringing hot concepts to market, so expectations were low that we would ever see the Fairlane reach production. Fast forward to 2008, and the Ford Flex is born. It's bigger than the Fairlane, yet it looks very much like the outlandish wagon that we saw in Motor City a few years earlier. Does the Ford Flex have the style, capability and appointments to be a player in the suddenly crowded large CUV market? Or is this modern day Woody just another oversized people hauler that misses the mark? Hit the jump to see how the all-new Flex fared during its stay in the Autoblog Garage.

While the Ford cupboard is full of crossovers of various shapes and sizes, only the Edge slightly stands out for its styling. That changes with the arrival of the Flex. Its boxy, love it or hate it looks signals that Blue Oval designers have finally learned the recipe for generating some type of enthusiasm from the American buyer. The square dimensions, low ride height and massive 19-inch rims give the Flex a truly unique appearance in the market place, and the distinctive features don't end there. Our Cinnamon Clearcoat Metallic tester arrived with a White Suede roof, which contrasted nicely with the exterior hue. Black and silver lids are also available and the raked side panels accentuate the length and brawn of the Flex while also giving it some old school Woody flare. The available chromed rear end makes things appear more interesting out back.
With a steady stream of new cars and trucks to test, we're used to hearing comments from on-lookers about what we're driving. Of the vehicle's we've reviewed in the past couple years, the Flex garnered more attention -- good and bad -- than most. Three neighbors wanted to take it for a drive. One guy said it looked like a hot fudge sundae with whipped cream on top (he wasn't impressed). A woman even walked into the barber shop and asked who was driving the Flex. She wanted to take a closer look, and then waited for me to finish getting my trim before scoping out the boxy people mover. The Freestyle/Taurus X has never received that kind of attention and it speaks volumes about the quantum leap Ford took with the Flex.
The Flex is in a league of its own with regards to styling (good or bad), but at heart it's simply a seven-passenger family hauler. The interior is a very important place for soccer moms and dads, and since the Flex is Ford's defacto minivan, it has to be comfortable and full of things families want and need. Our tester carried a $43,250 price tag, and included a massive 8.5-inch navigation system with Travel Link, a Vista moon roof that spans all three rows, all-wheel-drive, and a refrigerator/freezer located at the second row console.
When we first had the chance to sit inside a Flex at the 2007 New York Auto Show, we were met with the same hard plastic that adorns the Taurus X. Fortunately, Ford performed a complete 180 for the production model, and the result is a level of refinement that is unsurpassed in the Ford lineup, stacking up nicely against the Honda Pilot and Buick Enclave. Plastics are high quality, feel great to the touch, and have plenty of cushion in all the right places. The center arm rest is made of leather, the steering wheel is thick and pleasant to the touch, and the seating surfaces are well-bolstered with ample thigh support.
There were plenty of options on our Flex, and Ford's new navigation system with Travel Link was our clear favorite. It's bright, simple to operate, and has clever features like a gas station finder that can sort by proximity or price. The Vista roof is massive, and the kids loved it, but it's tough to justify at $1,400. Without the shade drawn, the interior temperature skyrockets and causes the air conditioner to work overtime -- not to mention the weight penalty it adds to the already hefty, two-ton Flex. The second row refrigerator, at $760, was another option that we would omit from the options list. It's minuscule, costs as much as a 25 cubic foot Frigidaire, and just doesn't provide much bang for the buck. We'll stick with a $15 cooler and a half bag of ice if we want to travel with cold beverages.
Out on the open road or in congested traffic, the Flex provided plenty of comfort and capability. Ford's 3.5L V6 performs its task well, providing 262 hp for the driver to play with. It won't strike fear into the hearts of radials and it isn't Lexus smooth, but it'll get you onto the freeway without much fuss. The 6F50 six-speed transmission, co-developed with GM, was smooth as butter, though we would have liked to have a manual mode to play with in place of Ford's standard "PRNDL" fare. Fuel economy was right in line with that of the AWD competition, averaging 20.6 mpg in mixed driving. FWD models score about two mpg better in the EPA cycle, so if fuel economy is a top concern, you may want to skip out on the ability to move all four wheels at the same time.
The Flex is underpinned by a reworked version of the Taurus-X platform, and the ride is very smooth while providing some driver feedback that other crossovers miss. Ford engineers did an adequate job of giving drivers steering feel, and while the result is better than what we've experienced in the Edge, we'd still like a little more feedback. Since the Flex has a relatively low center of gravity, body roll is well controlled, but predictably, the 19-inch wheels don't soak up bumps quite as well as vehicles with more moderately sized rollers.
Over the past couple years, the number of crossovers on the roads has skyrocketed. Ford has invested plenty of time and money on the segment, and after coming close to getting it right with the Edge, the Blue Oval has struck gold with the Flex. It has the technology customers crave, its interior is world class, and it turns heads everywhere it goes. Does the Flex have enough of what customers want to make it a hit? We think Ford finally struck the bulls-eye.

Google's AI System Can Detect Breast Cancer Better Than Doctors
MHE Staff
An artificial intelligence system by Google reportedly surpasses expert radiologists in accurately interpreting mammograms from screening programs.
An artificial intelligence (AI) system developed by Google reportedly surpasses expert radiologists in accurately interpreting mammograms from screening programs, according to a new study published in Nature.
In the study, which tested the accuracy of the system and developed through a collaboration between Google and cancer researchers, the authors report that the AI system outperformed both the historical decisions made by the radiologists who initially assessed the mammograms, and the decisions of six expert radiologists who interpreted 500 randomly selected cases in a controlled study.
"The use of AI in healthcare is something clinicians have long anticipated-and even welcome," says Jay Anders, MD, chief medical officer for Medicomp Systems, a provider of physician-driven point-of-care solutions that fix EHRs using clinical AI.
According to the study, mammograms for 25,856 women in the United Kingdom and 3,097 women in the United States were used to train the AI system. The system was then used to identify the presence of breast cancer in mammograms of women who were known to have had either biopsy-proven breast cancer or normal follow-up imaging results at least 365 days later.

Using AI technology also resulted in fewer false positives, where test results suggest cancer is present when it isn't, and false negatives, where an existing cancer goes undetected, according to a press release. Compared to human experts, the program reduced false positives by 5.7% for U.S. patients and 1.2% for U.K. patients. It reduced false negatives by 9.4% for U.S. patients and 2.7% for U.K. patients.
"AI that aids clinical decision support is advantageous, not only to the physician, but also the patient," Anders says. "As noted in the [study], we have a shortage of physicians in many areas across the country, as well as many overburdened physicians. AI that can help physicians be more efficient and improve clinical decision making is especially valuable when physician resources are limited."
AI can play a role of clinical decision support and make clinicians' jobs easier-but it is not intended to replace clinicians, according to Anders.
"AI cannot substitute the wealth of real-world knowledge that a clinician gains from years of training and hands-on information-gathering," he says. "The best clinical tool in the doctor's office will always be the one between the clinician's ears."


The photo above was taken in the Shiodome area of Tokyo. The building in the photo is an office building, which also houses one of Japan's major TV networks, Nippon television.
The Shiodome area used to be the site of the original Shimbashi (train) Station. The current Shimbashi Station is located within a short distance of Shiodome.
Shiodome also used to be a freight terminal before it was redeveloped into it's current state.
There are many new buildings, hotels, and shops in this area. For a better explanation take a look at this link to a page from japan-guide.com.
Shiodome really is a great place to hangout. It isn't as busy as many other shopping areas in Tokyo.
Today I thought I would start posting photos in the larger sized format. This blog really is just a photo blog of sorts. Sometimes I feel like commenting on Japan, but I worry that I might start complaining too much, so I think it might be better to keep this blog as it is. My tag line says it all "A Love-Hate Relationship."
Anyway if someone has any photo requests, especially of the Tokyo area, let me know. I will do my best to fulfill any requests! I have thousands of photos that I have taken in the Tokyo area.
Update: Well, changed my mind and decided to go back to the smaller sized photo.


Allergy Invaders is a game where you played a histamine entering the human body. Each level is a mission to infiltrate the human body with the goal of and causing an allergic reaction. The goal of the game is to teach kids about allergies by playing the role of the allergen.
This project was quite small and there wasn't a lot of time for music production. In out initial brain storm music from Sega Genesis came up. I ran with that to create these FM Synthesized drums and drones.
On screen there are a bunch of weird microscopic particles floating around. So I felt the bazaar tones of the Genesis would play nicely with the alien landscape.
For the song that plays over the comic we kept the alien vibe of the title sequence. It builds on the title sequence sounds, but adds a whole other level of drama.
The comic panel is when the player recieves their mission. It's about breaking in! It's heist planning music.
I wanted to keep it simple and then in the second part of the song deliver. I put the catch melody in the second part of the song to reward readers.

Mitch Dedecker is een personage uit de Vlaamse misdaadreeks Aspe. Het personage was te zien vanaf het derde tot en met het zesde seizoen van de serie en werd vertolkt door Mathias Coppens.

Dedecker komt niet voor in de gelijknamige boekenreeks.

Personage

Seizoen 3
Door het vertrek van André Bruynooghe komt er een plaats vrij in het team van Van In. Deze wordt vanaf Avondrood (03x01) ingevuld door Mitch Dedecker, een jonge ambitieuze politieman afkomstig van de lokale politie in Molenbeek. Hij wil zich al meteen bewijzen tegenover het team,en zijn partner Carine Neels in het bijzonder, maar dat valt niet in goede aarde.

Tijdens een openhartig gesprek met Carine praat Mitch per ongeluk zijn mond voorbij: hij is het neefje van commissaris De Kee. De teamleden kunnen hier in het begin niet mee om, maar uiteindelijk leert Mitch hen de leuke kant van de zaak kennen. Zo vertelt hij dat De Kee's koosnaampje pralinneke is, en dat ze in hun familie bijgevolg een praline al weleens een Rogerke noemen.

Seizoen 4
Mitch is eindelijk volledig aanvaard en functioneert goed in het team. Ook tussen hem en Carine gaat het stukken beter. Het gaat zelfs zo ver dat de twee een relatie krijgen. Ze besluiten dit verborgen te houden, in de vrees dat een van hen zal worden overgeplaatst. Uiteindelijk worden ze dan toch betrapt, maar Van In maakt geen problemen rond de historie.

Seizoen 5
Mitch wil graag met Carine gaan samenwonen, maar dit is buiten haar gerekend. Het duurt niet lang of het koppel gaat uit elkaar. Ze kunnen echter wel nog steeds met elkaar opschieten op professioneel vlak.

In De Perfecte Moord (05x11) blijkt Mitch zich te hebben ingeschreven voor een uitwisselingsproject. Hij gaat een poosje in Nederland werken, terwijl de Nederlandse inspecteur Tamara Meijer hem zal vervangen.

Seizoen 6
Mitch keert in Schuld en Boete (06x04) terug uit Nederland en neemt de plaats van Tamara Meijer weer in. Hij wordt verliefd op Kim Vanmaele de dochter van wetsdokter Leo.

Na lang aarzelen vertelt Mitch aan Leo dat hij een relatie heeft met zijn dochter. In tegenstelling tot wat het koppel had verwacht, is Leo aangenaam verrast. Wanneer het tot een breuk komt tussen de twee, zit Mitch in zak en as. Zijn zelfmedelijden komt tot een hoogtepunt in De Klasreünie (06x08), waarin hij stelt dat zowel zijn jeugd als zijn liefdesleven één grote mislukking waren. Hij herkent zichzelf in een vrouwelijke seriemoordenaar die hij moet arresteren. Wanneer hij haar wil verhinderen van haar flatgebouw te springen, valt hij zelf mee de diepte in. Hij is op slag dood.

Trivia
 Toen Mathias Coppens het aanbod kreeg om de laatste drie afleveringen van het vijfde seizoen te regisseren, werd zijn personage op eigen vraag tijdelijk uit de reeks geschreven, omdat Coppens niet de combinatie acteur-regisseur wilde maken. Uiteindelijk besloot hij ook voor verdere seizoenen aan te blijven als regisseur, waardoor ervoor werd gekozen zijn personage na een kortstondige terugkeer halverwege het zesde seizoen te schrappen.

"That's where we're at," Behar said before praising a Russian official who condemned diplomacy via Twitter.
Co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in, saying she doesn't think Trump is able to compartmentalize things "the way a president should," and therefore gets easily agitated.
"Bill Clinton was famous for being able to compartmentalize," Behar responded.
Conservative co-host Meghan McCain disagreed, saying there is no way for Trump to win because people would get angry regardless of whether or not he made threats over social media.
McCain said that while she often disagrees with Trump, anyone who compares him to evil murderous dictators loses all arguments in her eyes.
"What I'm saying is I see the two of them with backing off of war, and I see President Trump provoking war," Behar fired back.
Behar has mocked Trump on a regular basis since the former real estate mogul joined the political world. She was recently forced to apologize after coming under fire for mocking the Christian faith of Vice President Mike Pence. Her frequent anti-Trump outbursts have even resulted in watchdogs questioning if "The View" should fall under ABC's news division.
