i replaced the the assembly unity script then i put the spaar mod loader,then i started the game and everything is black.Does it take long to load?
Then you didn't install the mod loader correctly. Check that you put everything into the correct folders and also _replaced_ the Assembly-UnityScript.dll file with the mod loader one.
That is correct. Some mods may have additional files, they will then describe how to install them.
hey spaar can you help me?
Do you mind helping me find the mod Dreagast used to run the track/map/level with different terrain/environment in his video linked here?: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiAatOWhYhQ&index=5&list=PLEngsjAeWQXi1u4mm0wd-MPm3s1i1YuwN ) No matter How much I look for it, for the life of me I can't find it. Maybe you already know what mod it is.
oh, great! thanks man. I'm working on a transformer with fluid movements but the automation block often freezes my camera rotation (game camera, not the block). Have you had this problem too and how did you approach it? it's funny too cuz I don't even have enough buttons for all the joints.
i tried the building tools mod but the textures is not working where do i put them.
Sorry for the mistakes I'm french.
I assume you're using the Visual Studio template I created. Have you set the BESIEGE_LOCATION environment variable to the location of you Besiege installation?
When will the next update for the modloader be released? Sorry if I overlooked something.
If you mean an update for Besiege v0.4, then it's already released.
I believe an updated version will be released soon, probably after the next mod loader update.
I have problem with your mof ,Automatron. I can't place this block. Can you help me?
The block loader, which is necessary for the Automatron, is not updated to the most recent Besiege version (v0.32) yet, so you can't use the Automatron with it yet either. You'll need to wait for an update.

Message From the Chair: A Year of Change
Our incoming MA students.
If there is a word to describe this academic year, it is "change." The university has a new president, Dr. Thomas LeBlanc, who has been actively engaging with students, faculty, staff and alumni in order to learn about GW as he guides the university into the future. The department has a new name—the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences—a name better suited to our mission. We have also changed the MA curriculum sequence to ensure that students' coursework and clinical experiences are coordinated. This change has allowed us to admit more of the outstanding applicants that we have each year while also introducing some degree of flexibility for students.
Along with these changes, we have been given additional space in Government Hall, and also have a number of new faculty and staff this year. Our new personnel have allowed us to manage the increased number of students in the MA program while also broadening the range of expertise within the department. These have all been viewed as positive changes that are making our already strong MA program even stronger.
Speech-language pathology service delivery is changing, with a significant increase in demand for Telepractice, particularly for clients unable to make the trek into a clinic. You can read about this initiative in this issue.
Our undergrad program continues to be appealing to students and to attract some of the best and brightest in the university. A number of our recent graduates are now enrolled in graduate programs, including the MA programs at GW, Columbia and Mass General Hospital and the PhD program at the University of Texas at Austin.
Perhaps the greatest new development in the department has been the creation of an Alumni Council. The council helped us organize a networking event in the spring where grads shared details about their varying work environments—schools, clinics, hospitals and even industry and is planning an alumni event in the fall.
You will also read about a number of other activities and initiatives in this issue, including our work enhancing global engagement, transgender voice and faculty and student accomplishments.
The department continues to change, and create new learning opportunities for our students. I hope that this newsletter provides a taste of these changes, and that you will continue to stay connected to our alumni community.
James Mahshie, Chair
Expanding Into Telepractice
The TeleRehab suite in the Speech and Hearing Center.
A service delivery method that has been explored as an alternative approach to face-to-face delivery of speech, language and hearing services is Telepractice. Telepractice refers to "the application of telecommunications technology to the delivery of [SLP] and audiology professional services at a distance by linking clinician to client/patient, or clinician to clinician, for assessment, intervention, and/or consultation" (ASHA). The use of Telepractice addresses several issues in our field. First, it can aid in reducing the impact of the shortage of speech language pathologists to treat the speech, language and cognitive issues in the clients we serve. Second, Telepractice addresses the service provision needs of patients who reside in rural areas or have limited access to services for other reasons (e.g., financial constraints, inadequate transportation, etc.). Third, Telepractice benefits include reduced healthcare costs and greater opportunity for supported self-management in the patient's own environment.
The department has embarked on an increase in the use of Telepractice to provide experience to our grad students and services to clients of the GW Speech & Hearing Clinic. Our faculty are also conducting research on the efficacy of Telepractice for our field. Professor Comer in our clinic has provided Telepractice services for several years to pediatric clients in Ireland. Professor Bamdad in consultation with Dr. Schulz will be expanding Telepractice services across our clinical tracts starting this fall. In addition, Dr. Schulz and Professor Bamdad will be conducting a research study to investigate the efficacy of using Telepractice to assess executive functioning in patients with TBI which will also be commencing this fall.
There will also be an increase in the educational component of Telepractice in the department. We will begin incorporating graduate student training into the curriculum, expand supervisor training, and will develop a certificate program for SLP's.
In sum, this is an exciting time for the SPHR as we embark on what is surely going to be an expanding demand for the provision of service via Telepractice. If you are ever in the area, please stop by! We'd love to show you around and talk more about Telepractice!
Helping Transgender People Find Their Voice
Adrienne B. Hancock (right) with speech-language pathology graduate student Alyssa Giegerich
When 15-year-old Lisa (not her real name) walked into the George Washington University Speech and Hearing Center, she looked and acted just like most other 9th grade girls. But like many transgender people, she felt there was an obstacle blocking her path to portraying her gender identity: her voice.
"I want to sound more like a girl," she told Adrienne B. Hancock, associate professor in the Department of Speech and Hearing Science and a certified speech-language pathologist. Lisa explained that she was home-schooled during her transition because a teacher had bullied her at public school. Before returning to school, she said, she wanted to feel confident about her feminine voice.
Like she often does, Hancock asked Lisa what famous person she wanted to sound like. Hancock expected her to mention someone with a high, lilting tone like Taylor Swift. Instead, Lisa singled out Kari Byron, the host of TV's Myth Busters, a woman whose voice pitch was lower than Lisa's. She acknowledged feeling powerless since the transition began and wanting to sound cool, confident and smart—like Byron.
Hancock has spearheaded both research and clinical advances in transgender voice and communication since arriving at GW in 2005. But listening to Lisa brought a revelation to the speech-language pathologist. Most treatments focus on raising pitch and modifying speech tone and intonation patterns to align with typical adolescent female speakers, according to international standards and care and evidence-based practice guidelines. "But I listened to her additional need to express her power and confidence as a young woman," Hancock said. Even though she was transitioning to present herself in her genuine female gender identity, Lisa didn't want to conform to a stereotype of a young female voice—and Hancock let those wishes guide the direction of treatment. "She reminded me that cultural competence is a necessary compliment to clinical competence," Hancock wrote in her Perspectives on Voice and Voice Disorders article "The Role of Cultural Competence in Serving Transgender Populations."
Since switching her specialty from Parkinson's-related cognitive deficits a decade ago, Hancock has worked in research labs, the GW Speech and Hearing Center and local transgender support groups to help transgender people understand and find satisfaction with their voice. Her research on the role of voice and communication in gender transition led to a landmark $300,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health. That project involved characterizing the physiological mechanisms of a speakers voice that facilitate a listener correctly perceiving the gender of that speaker as—in Lisa's case—a female. More recently, Hancock and a group of undergraduate and graduate students launched Access and Barriers to Communication Services (ABCs), a project to identify barriers to voice services experienced by the most marginalized-of-the-marginalized: transgender people of color. "I want students and practicing speech-language pathologists to be able to provide services in the real world, where cultural influences of gender, age, race and class intersect," said Hancock. "But right now we don't know enough about all the nuances and subgroups of the transgender and gender non-conforming populations to determine if we are serving them well—or how we could serve them better."
Hancock classifies her research as "translational"—applying foundational concepts and techniques to real-world situations. In her basic research, she might look, for example, at how the vocal folds of a transwoman achieve a feminine sound, she explained. "But then I translate that into clinical research, where I sit down face–to-face with a real live person and use my knowledge of physiology to help them get a voice that feels genuine to them."
Individualizing Treatment
Like Lisa, transgender people often see their voice as among the most difficult characteristics to change, but also one of the most important. Hancock hears clients say they are afraid to open their mouths in public because the sound of their voice doesn't match the person they really are. In the past, speech-language pathologists might have guided clients toward a binary view of how a masculine or feminine voice might sound. "We used to work like we were going down a checklist: raise the pitch above a certain level, change the resonate tone, work on intonation," she noted. But over the years, therapists have moved toward a more patient-centered, individualistic approach. "It's important with any voice clients—particularly trans clients—to understand who they are, to make sure you are giving them the voice that's theirs, not some ideal packaged voice that I might have as a clinician. What I do now is find the right recipe for each person."
"For a lot of our clients, having a voice that aligns with their gender identity is life-giving," she said. "That sounds dramatic, but I've had people tell me that without a successful voice modification, they wouldn't have their jobs." Clients also routinely relay how changing their voice provided a layer of safety from discrimination and physical threats.
But how do you train a voice to align with a gender that is different from the one you were assigned at birth? It's a long and effort-intensive process, one that's particularly difficult for males transitioning to females. Most transgender men—people assigned the female sex at birth but identifying as male—can develop deeper voices by taking testosterone. But for transgender women, estrogen hormone treatment has little to no effect on the voice. That is why transwomen like Lisa—and, Hancock said, 10 to 30 percent of transgender men—rely heavily on voice treatment with speech-language pathologists or voice coaches.
Student Training Ground
At the GW Speech and Hearing Center graduate students, supervised by certified speech-language pathologists like Hancock and her collaborator Clinical Instructor Linda Siegfriedt, work with transgender people to adjust their speech and intonation patterns. They assist clients with daily exercises and breathing techniques to loosen vocal cords and relax neck muscles. Using software applications, students clinicians measure changes in signals listeners perceive as pitch, tone and quality of voice. Voice alignment typically takes six months to a year of regular practice, although some people don't see results for two to three years.
"It definitely requires a lot of practice and there are a lot of ups and downs, but the women we work with at the clinic are very motivated to put in the time and effort," said Alyssa Giegerich, a second-year speech-language pathology graduate student. "Helping them get there can be both incredibly frustrating and incredibly exhilarating."
Hancock stresses to students that, in addition to helping transgender people overcome physiological challenges, their job is to be mindful of each client's personal circumstances. Some, like Lisa, have a clear idea of how they want to sound—even if it doesn't conform to society's or even the therapist's expectations. Others have strong emotional ties to their original voice, even as they voluntarily choose to change it. "When they lose their old voice, they lose their old identity, and often they need to mourn that loss," Hancock said. "Fortunately, they can celebrate this new identity when their voice finally matches their authentic selves."
By the end of a successful round of therapy—whether or not the clients have met their original expectations—Hancock says more than just a person's voice has changed. When comparing pre- and post-therapy videos, she has seen more lively facial expressions and confident body language. And she's always struck by the clients' intense gratitude.
"You might think that the voice is such a little part of everything going on in their lives as a result of gender transition. But when people are so grateful, I realize it fills a deep need," she said. "I learn so much from them about coping with life. I feel honored to be able to help in return."

She completed her senior research thesis on the cognitive impact of concussions and sports related traumatic brain injuries. She recently moved from to the D.C. area from Massachusetts.
Connecting to Alumni
Students and alumni at the CCC-SLP event
During the spring, SPHR created a six-member alumni council to assist the department in several areas: student career planning guidance; establishing better connections with alumni for potential internships; gathering input on department changes moving forward; and last but not least, to better connect to our alumni and to have them (re)connect with each other.
In March, the department and council hosted a very successful "Community Career Conversation, Students Learning Program" (CCC-SLP) where alumni from various employment settings met with our current graduate students to give them a realistic idea of what it is like to work in that particular setting. The opportunity to talk with professionals in the field as they prepare for their CFs was greatly appreciated by the students. During the upcoming year we are planning to host a second CCC-SLP event in November and an "Alumni Social" is being hosted on Thursday October 26. This event will enable alumni in and around the D.C. area to (re)connect with fellow SPHR grads over drinks and gnashes.
Please click here for event details. Also, please email us at [email protected] if you are interested in serving on the council and update your current email so that we can keep you informed about all the alumni events happening in SPHR.
Dr. Shelley Brundage has been recognized by the University of Minnesota as part of their Alumni of Notable Achievement program. Congratulations!
Dr. Cynthia Core was interviewed and featured in Globo News Americas for her work on multilingualism and the challenges of teaching Portuguese to Brazilian children living in the United States. You can view the interview here.
Professor Lynne E. Bernstein received an award from the National Science Foundation to participate in its Innovation-Corps Program. As part of the project, she and Professors Silvio P. Eberhardt and Edward T. Auer interviewed over 110 individuals in the international world of hearing health. Interviewees included audiologists, individuals with hearing loss, advocacy leaders and innovators across the globe. Professor Bernstein and her colleagues also received two awards from the National Institutes of Health through its Small Business Innovation Research Program. The first award is for the development of web-based lip-reading training for adults to improve their audiovisual speech perception in noise. Under this award, they are preparing to carry out an experiment that compares several different training methods with older adults who have moderate to severe hearing loss. The second award is for improving the yield of audiological results in the clinic with the goal of improving diagnostics. This big data project is designed to develop models of the patterns of relationships among various types of clinical data. Bernstein's lab is also carrying out research on vibrotactile pattern learning and speech perception in noise. They are using neuroimaging methods in collaboration with neuroscientist colleagues at Georgetown University.
The 11th Oxford Disfluency Conference took place from September 20-23, 2017. Dr. Brundage and Dr. Sharon Millard (from the Michael Palin Center for Stammering in London) served as co-chairs. The conference is one of the leading international scientific conferences in the field of stuttering. It brings together researchers and clinicians, providing a showcase and forum for discussion and collegial debate about the most current and innovative research and clinical practices. GW SPHR alumna Hannah Rowe presented her master's thesis findings at the conference.
Adrienne Hancock and Linda Siegfriedt presented the current care standards for our transgender and non-binary clients at the ASHA national headquarters in Rockville, Md. The hour-long presentation, "What CSD Professionals Need to Know about Gender Diversity," included cultural considerations of terminology and inclusive care, as well as GW's clinical processes and evidence of positive voice training outcomes. Hancock and Siegfriedt will return to ASHA for an encore presentation in January, and a two-hour CEU webinar in the summer of 2018.
Congratulations to Sierra Downs, Alyssa Giegerich, Kristen Davis, Dara Yazdani, Emily Chessher, Michael Ferguson and Dr. Adrienne Hancock! Their poster at GW Research Days ("Access and Barriers to Communication Services for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Individuals") won awards in Graduate Presenter in Social and Behavioral Sciences and the Diversity and Inclusion Prize for Graduate Presenters.
We had five students successfully complete master's theses in spring 2017:
Sierra Downs: "Access to Voice and Communication Services for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming People of Color."
Ellen Wiebke: "Effects of the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia on Functional Communication and Quality of Life: Self and Proxy Ratings."
Anna Schnizler: "Aberrant Eating Behaviors in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Their Correlates."
Bhairvi Trivedi: "Cortical Correlates of Subclinical Behaviors Associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Antisocial Disorders."
Hannah Rowe: "Rates of Typical Disfluency in 30-month-old Spanish English Bilinguals and Monolinguals.
CHAMP Camp—the Childhood Apraxia and Motor Planning Camp—completed its sixth consecutive year over the summer at the Speech and Hearing Center. CHAMP is an intensive speech therapy camp that provided both individual and group therapy over the course of nine days. Our first-year students participated in the program as clinicians. In the course of one day, each camper received two individual and two group therapy sessions.
Our department is going abroad again! Over spring break, Kari Comer and Cynthia Core will lead a team of graduate students to Querétaro, Mexico. This course will expose students to the skills necessary to become culturally rich speech therapists. In addition to the rich cultural events and encounters, students will have the opportunity to meet with local professionals, visit service delivery sites, observe and collaborate with local service providers and evaluate the scope of speech-language pathology in Mexico. Students will also participate in a language course to learn Spanish terminology specific to SLP.
On September 10-11, SPHR welcomed Dr. Edy Strand for a presentation and workshop on "Diagnosis and Management of Childhood Apraxia of Speech!" Presenting to students, speech language pathologists and parents, Dr. Strand emphasized clinical thinking and decision-making as central to the processes of selecting and implementing any treatment approach for CAS. Discussion reinforced the important role families play in treatment of CAS, including tools to help families understand and manage the disorder.
The department's strategic plan includes a significant effort to provide students and faculty with the opportunity to engage with speech, language and hearing professionals in other countries. In the spring, Drs. James Mahshie and Greg Wallace, along with Clinic Director Michael Bamdad, visited and presented their research at a number of university and hospital sites in Shanghai and Nanjing, China. Efforts are currently underway to establish an ongoing relationship with a number of universities in China as a result of this visit. In addition, Dr. Cynthia Core and Professor Kari Comer will be taking a group of students to Mexico in the spring to learn more about how services are delivered in that country.
In April 2017, the department hosted a talk by Kimberly Acquaviva entitled "Diversity and Inclusion: What Speech Pathologists and Audiologists Need to Know." Dr. Acquaviva examined how diversity and inclusion relate to clinical and educational practices and the link between inclusive care and patient/client outcomes. Attendees came away with greater knowledge about ways in which to use strategies for making the intake, care delivery and documentation process more inclusive and respectful of patient diversity.
A few of our faculty members will be presenting at the ASHA convention which will be held November 9-11 in Los Angeles, Calif. Read below for a list of those presentations!

A person suffering from an anxiety disorder experiences neurologically-based changes in mood and function. What does this look like?
Our various personality traits and emotional responses are the result of interaction between our genetic coding and environmental influences. Our genes make us more receptive to some stimuli, and play a role in developing resilience to other stimuli. Our brains process it all and guide our responses and reactions.
Fear and stress are normal defensive reactions to difficulties and threats which help us to deal with challenges more efficiently. Anxiety, however, is different from fear in that it is a reaction to a future concern that may or may not be realistic. To some extent, having anxiety is a normal, human reaction. However, if it continues for a prolonged period, it can have an adverse effect on your daily life and health.
Everyone feels a little anxious from time to time. More than a temporary worry or fear, an anxiety or panic attack is characterized by intense feelings accompanied by physical symptoms.
In the state of anxiety, worrying makes it difficult to concentrate and leads to irritability. Physical symptoms like heart palpation, sweating, and gastrointestinal changes are also common in this state. Anxiety is considered a disorder when symptoms persist over a period of six or more months.
The higher cognitive centers in your brain are located in the prefrontal cortex. They are involved in thinking, planning, and social behavior. This prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that helps us to keep our emotional responses in check.
Most of the emotion processing takes place in other parts of the cortex. These anatomical brain structures are collectively called the limbic system. One fundamental structure in the limbic system is the hippocampus that plays a vital role in the stress response and regulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. Both hippocampal growth and neurogenesis play an essential role in the development of resiliency towards stress and anxiety. The limbic system component that serves to regulate emotions is the amygdala. The amygdala is key to the formation of fear and anxiety.
Functionality or communication between these various brain centers and networks takes place through neurotransmitters. In the case of emotional responses, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is known to have an inhibitory effect on emotions, while glutamate has an excitatory effect. The roles of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine are also well documented in the pathogenesis of various emotional states.
Neuroscience can observe these neurotransmitters—see the pathways—and thereby effectively lead us in forming an effective treatment plan to conquer your anxiety.
Anxiety can be successfully treated with the right information, help, and support. With treatment, you can get back to a fulfilling life. We can help!
At Honey Lake Clinic, our experienced doctors and staff strongly believe that faith-based treatment, encompassing spiritual, physical and mental health, will provide you with the long-lasting tools and knowledge to find happiness and wholeness again. Let us help you take back your life.
With anxiety, shorter-term medications may be helpful for decreasing your anxiety, allowing you to learn better stress and emotional management skills. The spiritual side of treatment is invaluable. Learning to lean on God for peace and rest and to apply Biblical instruction will be the ultimate help to renew your mind and deal with adversity, worry, and fear.

Also claims only followers of Jesus Christ can be patriots.
Conservative radio host Bryan Fischer said last week that anyone who opposes Christianity is a "traitor" to America.
Fischer began his program by citing George Washington's farewell address, in which the nation's first president linked religion and morality to patriotism, as "proof" that anyone who doesn't follow Jesus Christ can't be a patriot.
Then, the "Focal Point" host took it even further.
His show is produced by American Family Radio, which is part of the American Family Association. The Southern Poverty Law Center lists the AFA as a hate group due to its radical anti-LGBT views.
Fischer has previously said that gay Boy Scouts create "sexual tension" on camping trips, that gay NFL players would create "sexual tension" in locker rooms and that gays in the military create "sexual tension" in the armed forces.

Donald Trump Is Meeting Vladimir Putin Without Even a Notetaker in the Room to Avoid Info Leak: Report
By Jason Le Miere On 7/16/18 at 9:07 AM EDT
U.S. Donald Trump Trump Putin Note
President Donald Trump was meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin Monday without even so much as a notetaker in the room. The two leaders were scheduled to sit down for 90 minutes in Helsinki before heading into an expanded bilateral meeting with aides from both sides.
But it is the initial one-on-one that has raised eyebrows in light of Trump's continued favorable statements about Putin, and the fact that the meeting was taking place just three days after 12 Russian military officials were indicted for interfering in the 2016 United States presidential election.
Despite the overwhelming volume of intelligence and justice department reports finding that Russia interfered in the election to the benefit of Trump, the U.S. president has continued to dismiss the investigation as a "witch hunt" and has blamed his predecessor, President Barack Obama, for it taking place. In the past, Trump suggested that he believed Putin's denial of any involvement in the election.
Only interpreters reportedly joined the two leaders in the room at Finland's presidential palace Monday. Trump had opposed having a notetaker in the room during their one-on-one meeting because he was wary of leaks, a foreign official brief on the plans told The Wall Street Journal. The decision prompted concern among some diplomats that there would be no official record of the meeting, leaving it vulnerable to a misleading account from the Russian side.

It did not appear that Trump would take his own notes, either. While there was a notepad beside Putin for their meeting, there was nothing for Trump, the Journal noted.
Trump has shown a notable unwillingness to confront Putin over Russia's interference in the 2016 election and the continued threat that intelligence agencies have outlined of the country meddling in the upcoming midterm elections.
Prior to Monday's meeting, Trump said there was not much he could do if Putin denied his country played a role in any meddling.
In contrast, he has blasted his own justice department, the FBI and Obama.
"President Obama thought that Crooked Hillary was going to win the election, so when he was informed by the FBI about Russian Meddling, he said it couldn't happen, was no big deal, & did NOTHING about it. When I won it became a big deal and the Rigged Witch Hunt headed by Strzok!" Trump tweeted Monday morning.
He then added: "Our relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt!"

NHL fans are already familiar with the HBO and Epix documentary series 24:7 Road To The Bridgestone Winter Classic, but the NHL has now advanced the concept one step further — and towards Lord Stanley.
The NHL will continue to give its fans a closer look behind the scenes and the league's locker room doors with a new TV series which will premiere tonight via Showtime. But, this time around the series will focus in on NHL clubs' run for the Stanley Cup.
The intensity doesn't stop off the ice so why should the cameras?
Trying to win the hardest trophy in all of professional sports, the Stanley Cup.
Showtime has even tweeted out teaser video clips and trailers leading up to the intriguing series premiere.
Appears to be pretty cool, right?
Also, the final season which was aired on HBO, between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings in 2014, was boring to say at the least, especially with the lack of color the then current players portrayed towards the camera.
After a one year hiatus, the NHL and Epix teamed up to bring back the 24:7 series in 2015-2016. Changing networks seemed to bring some new life to the concept, as this hockey enthusiast thought the network did a solid job filming behind the scenes with the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens — even if the two clubs and their players could market themselves.
From the trailers above I get the impression that Showtime's production will add some new flavor to the concept — just like Epix displayed.
Each episode will air for a half hour, and the premiere centers in on game six from the Washington Capitals vs. Pittsburgh Penguins overtime thriller; and the Conference Finals with matchups between the Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Penguins and San Jose Sharks vs. St. Louis Blues; proceeding episodes will go behind the scenes from the highly anticipated 2016 Stanley Cup Finals.
This is quite the experiment and risk for the NHL, but I have a feeling the fans will not be disappointed.

Q: Gradle extremely slow HTTP resource access on Windows. How to diagnose and fix? Gradle 2.2 takes hours to build a project on a PC that takes 8 minutes on Linux. When run with –debug, on the slow machine, gradle reports no errors, but it stops and waits for approx. 2 minutes at every resource, after every User-Agent line:

Linux workstations on the same subnet (behind the same firewall and using the same squid proxy) do not have this delay.

Snip from Linux build around same point in build.

A: This seems to have been a VERY STRANGE issue with a transparent  http proxy and DansGuardian web filter. For still unknown reasons, this one PC's http traffic got mangled.
This is odd, because our entire LAN's http traffic to the internet is content filtered. There was a filtering exception that allowed any traffic from this slow pc to be unfiltered. But that had the opposite effect as expected. Gradle traffic became crazy slow on the 'unfiltered' PC, while content-filtered workstations had no problems. Even stranger, Gradle also ran at normal speed on unfiltered Linux workstations.
The workaround was to configure IPTables and the transparent proxy to completely ignore the slow pc's http traffic. So now it is unfiltered, and unproxied. It has been nicknamed the pornstation.

A: It happened to us as well, though in our case it was caused by the AntiVirus on the PC (Nod32 not to name it).
We had to completely disable the HTTP/web filters on it.
May not be your case, but may help others coming here for advice.

Theater Review: Peter Brook's Slimmed-Down "Magic Flute"
15 Jul 2011 Randy GenerLeave a comment
NEW YORK CITY: At a July morning news conference in New York City, the 86-year-old and hugely influential British director Peter Brook and his collaborators — librettist Marie-Hélène Estienne and composer Franck Krawczyk — confessed, with a laugh, that if they had their druthers, their lovely A Magic Flute would be performed entirely in English.
"We wanted it to be very accessible," Estienne said. "At the time it premiered, Mozart used the most popular and accessible forms of the day." Unfortunately, however, Brook and his team were dutifully informed that an English-language Magic Flute was out of the question. Why? Because of Julie Taymor.
Allow me to explain. In paring down Mozart's beloved opera to an intimate 100-minute version, Brook and Estienne sought for purity, speed and direct immediacy. Out went the decorative spectacle and heavy symbolism, with which the opera, Brook felt, had been too loaded. Out went the orchestra, too. Instead there is one onstage pianist, Krawczyk, who musically tinkers with Mozart's dazzling score to fit one piano while frequently pulling off what he called "free improvisations" in tune with the actors and singers. (At times, Krawczyk mixes in other Mozart works, such as a fragment from the Piano Concerto No. 27.)

Moreover, the cast has been whittled down to just seven singers: the Queen of the Night, Sarastro, Monostatos, Tamino, Pamina, Papageno and Papagena. (An alternate cast performs on different evenings.) Two actors, who function as guides and stagehands, plays roles that don't have names at all (although Brook has called them "magicians" in some interviews). "We saw some characters are no longer necessary," Brook said. "In taking away these characters and taking away some of the necessary decorations of the music and story of the time, we try to suggest something else. We are not competing with other stagings by using spectacular effects. This is a pure language of story, people and sound."
Thus, the canny title: this stripped-down fable, running through July 17 at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater of John Jay College as part of the Lincoln Center Festival, is called A Magic Flute, as opposed to THE Magic Flute. The suggestion here is that this is just a possible interpretation, and not a definitive one that would compete with, say, Kenneth Branagh's 2006 film adaptation, Ingmar Bergman's 1975 take for Swedish television or William Kentridge's 2005 staging. New Yorkers who are looking for pomp and extravaganza may head over to the Metropolitan Opera where Julie Taymor's puppet-festooned and fanciful The Magic Flute opened in 2004. As it turns out, Taymor's staging still remains as part of the Met's repertory. Since her production uses a clear and understandable English, Brook and company were dissuaded by Met Opera officials from similarly doing away that potential language barrier. First presented at the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord in Paris last year, Brook's slimmed-down A Magic Flute is performed in the original German, with the dialogue spoken in French and with the English translation flashing above as supertitles.

Given the history of grand and baroque embroideries that have attended it, A Magic Flute is as sui generis as any Mozart interpretation you're likely to see. It really does not matter that this delicately realized production is sung and spoken in foreign languages. A Magic Flute is spare, upfront and welcoming. An English language take would probably have been the last step in bringing the opera even closer to contemporary New York audiences, but it is hard to figure how it could have been boiled down even further. Not only are sets of characters missing (gone are the three ladies who do the bidding of the Queen of the Night, as well as the three spirit boys whom the ladies summon to point the earnest Prince Tamino on the path to rescuing fair Pamina), the singers and actors don't even wear any sandals or shoes. The only scenery are bamboo poles on squarish stands, grouped in various ways to suggest trees, a cage and the walls of a temple.
What Mozart's original opera has lost in frippery, spectacle and silliness, A Magic Flute gains in intimacy, simplicity and innocence. It is no accident that Brook's free interpretation was recently awarded France's esteemed Moliere Award for best musical theater. Over the centuries, Mozart's A Magic Flute can usually be found only in opera houses. Brook and company have tellingly restored this work — one of Mozart's last creations, premiering only three months before his death at age 35, it is actually not an opera but a singspiel or "a play with singing" — to its original genre: in the halls of musical theater.

Modesty and confidence swathe the whole enterprise. Brook's compression of Mozart's Magic Flute at Lincoln Center Festival falls largely silent when it comes to offering dramaturgical reasons or musical analyses that might explain away his theatrical interventions. (Of course, this infiltration places A Magic Flute firmly in the same realm as Brook's slimmed down versions of La Tragédie de Carmen and Impressions de Pelléas.) Although the plot is cleaner, minor inconsistencies do arise, and opera traditionalists will likely find A Magic Flute provocative, challenging and perfunctory.
Krawczyk on the piano, for instance, is elegant and inspired as a one-man substitute for an orchestra, but there were many times when bigness or heightened emotions seemed necessary to lift the event and make it more urgent and buoyant. During the later patches of the evening, a soporific daintiness descends upon the audience that was listening to Krawczyk's brave attempts at rhythmic freedom, even though as the sole accompanist he was definitely almost another character onstage.
The young singers and actors whom Brook cast in A Magic Flute do indeed rethink what it means to be an opera performer. In our age of over-amplification, what a welcome relief it is to hear real and beautiful singing voices coming out of true individuals! The two standouts in the July 8 evening I saw the show were Malia Bendle-Merad who sensationally brought off the treacherous coloratura in her two great arias, and the French baritone Thomas Dolié who was an unalloyed joy as the humorous and irresistible Papageno. The tenor Adrian Strooper, wearing a plain black coat, brought a wholesome nobility to the role of Tamino, even though his character of a confused searcher seemed truncated. Jeanne Zaepfel, in the role of Pamino, lent her soprano role youthful ardor even though she was not especially memorable. Luc Bertin-Hugault showed regal strength as the high priest Sarastro — his "In Diesen Heilgen Halle" was particularly good.
A Magic Flute does not strike me as a Mozart for the ages. As poignant, thoughtful and graceful as Brook's free adaptation might be, it is never quite as richly effervescent as I hoped it would be. This Flute is certainly light, it is very tender, it is intimate, it is entertaining, and it has depth. Here is an intervention, however, that cannot escape the feeling, even as you are having a wonderful time, that it was a gallant exercise — a willed exploration into Asian theater-style essentials that could have used less chic grace and a little bit more playful oomph. — By RG

Ellis Cornelia Knight (27 March 1757 - 18 December 1837) was an English gentlewoman, traveller, landscape artist, and writer of novels, verse, journals, and history. She had the acquaintance of many prominent figures in her lifetime, from members of the circle of Samuel Johnson and Sir Joshua Reynolds in her girlhood; Cardinal de Bernis, Sir William and Lady Emma Hamilton, and Lord Horatio Nelson during her Italian sojourn; and members of the British Royal Family during her service to Queen Charlotte and Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales. She corresponded with or met other writers of her time including Frances Burney, Germaine de Staël, Lady Charlotte Bury, and Jane Porter.

Biography
Knight's father, Sir Joseph Knight, had a long career in the British Navy and was knighted by King George III, attaining the rank of Rear Admiral of the White. Her mother Philippina, his second wife, ensured her only child received a thorough education from Swiss instructors in dance, drawing, history, mathematics, Latin, French, and other European languages.

Upon her father's death in 1775, Knight and her mother were left with only a small income and no pension, inducing them to leave for the Continent in 1776, where they settled in Italy. In 1790, Cornelia anonymously published Dinarbas, a continuation of Johnson's Rasselas in which Rasselas becomes ruler of Abyssinia, marries, and finds happiness. Following its success, she published Marcus Flaminius in 1792, a historical epistolary novel. The Knights were living in Naples in 1798 when word came of Nelson's victory at the Battle of the Nile. They participated in the ecstatic celebrations of that victory when Nelson arrived in Naples, and became good friends of the Hamiltons and Lord Nelson.

After her mother died in 1799, Knight was invited to accompany the Hamiltons and Lord Nelson on their return journey to England.  During this trip she became increasingly uneasy about the warmth of the relationship between Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson, though she also witnessed her ode to Nelson on the Battle of the Nile sung by Emma with a musical setting by Joseph Haydn. Once back in England, Knight settled independently, writing and making frequent visit to friends. She was appointed companion to Queen Charlotte (1805) and to a similar position, later, in the household of Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales (1813).

In 1805 her reputation as a learned author of highly respectable character earned her an invitation to join the household of Queen Charlotte. Knight was with the Queen as the King's mental capacity declined and a Regency was established.  In 1812 she became Companion to Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales, holding this post until the Regent fired her in 1814 for imagined lapses of judgement.

In 1818 she became a teacher of English, literature, science and fine arts to the young Massimo Taparelli, the Marquis d'Azeglio, who was an important Italian writer, painter, patriot and politic.  He mentioned Cornelia in his d'Azeglio's Memoirs (1867), in chapter XIV where d'Azeglio met Knight in 1818 at Castelgandolfo. The last twenty years of her life were spent outside England, and she died in Paris.

Works
Knight published five works in her lifetime:
Dinarbas (1790), a continuation of Samuel Johnson's Rasselas
Marcus Flaminius: a view of the military, political, and social life of the Romans in a series of letters from a patrician to his friend (1792), a romantic epistolary novel set in ancient Rome during the reign of the emperor Tiberius.
A Description of Latium, or La Campagna di Roma (1805), with her own etchings
Translations from the German in Prose and Verse (1812)
Sir Guy de Lusignan, a Romance (1833)
At her death she left behind an incomplete autobiography and a journal. Her autobiography is a most valuable source of information for the court history of those days. The most important statements in the work were edited and published posthumously in 1861.

Depression in Filmmakers, Artists and Scientists is a Very Real Thing!
Depression in independent scientists, filmmakers and artists is a very real thing. I know. I've experienced all of those careers and seen it first hand.
I've always thought that being depressed was a weakness to your character. I know my father explained it that way to me once. I don't think that anymore. In fact, I think it may be more a symptom of the difficult career path – one full of uncertainty and one of comparison with others. Once I had the courage to explain what I was going through, I finally had everyone come out of the woodwork to explain they go through it too. That helped a lot.
Over the last 5 years, I've had two 6-month periods where I was very down – I was depressed. I never went to see a doctor so I wasn't diagnosed, but I realize that this action of not taking action was part of a bigger problem we all have in this filmmaking world. The more I started to tell people the more I realized it was everyone's secret.
Also, do leave me your comments. Look, it's important to let anyone that is going through it know they're not alone. And, realize that it doesn't mean you're weak if you're going through depression – anymore than having a broken leg means your weak. I might even see it as part of the struggle that anyone in our field will likely go through to get to where they want to be.

Q: url_for Build Error I'm new at flask and html. I get build error when I try to use action attribute in my html code and I don't have any idea why this happens.
this is my html code:

<form method=post action="{{url_for('add_post')}}" >
<input type="text" name="post" placeholder="What's happenig?" />
<input type="submit" value="post" class="post_button" >

and my flask:
@app.route('/mk/add_post/<username>' , methods=['POST'])
def add_post():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        text=request.form('post')
        user=session['username']
        post(user , text)
        p='/mk/main/%s'%username
        return redirect(p)

and I get this error:
BuildError: ('add_post', {}, None)

any ideas?

A: you don't need to define your url path as @app.route('/mk/add_post/<username>' , methods=['POST']) as you are fetching the user name form session. This should work:
@app.route('/mk/add_post' , methods=['POST'])
def add_post():
    ...

In case you do wish to stick to '/mk/add_post/<username>'. Change your template to:
<form method=post action="{{url_for('add_post', username='mahnoosh')}}" >

NOTE: Also you forgot to add username as argument.
@app.route('/mk/add_post/<username>' , methods=['POST'])
def add_post(username):
    ...

Here's how I tested:
python script:
from flask import *

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/mk/add_post/<username>' , methods=['POST'])
def add_post(username):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        print username
        return username

@app.route('/')
def main():
    return render_template('so.html')

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', debug=True, port=5050)

so.html:

  <form method=post action="{{url_for('add_post', username='mahnoosh')}}" >
<input type="text" name="post" placeholder="What's happenig?" />
<input type="submit" value="post" class="post_button" >

Police In Spokane Washington Use Rooftop Snipers To Protect 'Drag Queen Story Hour' While Baptist Pastor Preaching The Gospel Is Arrested
According to The Spokesman-Review, an estimated 40 police officers were stationed outside of the library. Those who supported the event — approximately 400 in all — stood adjacent to library property, and those opposed to the "Drag Queen Story Time" — about 200 concerned residents — were asked by police to stand on the other side of the street. The LGBTQ+P for Pedophile Movement wants your children, and if you continue to stand on the sidelines and remain silent, they will have them. When the Drag Queen Story Hour comes to your town get out there in the streets and start preaching the gospel, and stand against this wickedness.
A Baptist pastor was arrested and jailed on Saturday after refusing to move across the street from the Spokane, Washington Public Library while exercising his free speech against a 'Drag Queen Story Hour.' The event had a significant militaristic police presence, including camouflaged snipers positioned atop the roof to oversee the large crowd that stood both for and against the men dressed like women reading stories to children.
We are living in a time where spiritual darkness is rising to such a degree that it is beginning to overtake the light of the gospel of the grace of God, but this is how the Bible said it would go in the last days. That means that a Baptist pastor who just wants to preach the gospel outside of the Drag Queen Story Hour is now the enemy, and the transgenders who want to read sex stories to children are now protected by armed officers and rooftop snipers. Welcome to the end times, and buckle up, because things are only going to get a lot worse.
"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another." Matthew 24:9,10 (KJV)
One thing you have to wrap your head around is that the soldiers in the LGBTQ+P for Pedophile Movement are not a bunch of "fairies and sissies", not by a long shot. They are a aggressive, highly organized, highly funded and militaristic movement that is gradually taking over American culture and society. How much more do you need to see than this story right here of armed officers and rooftop snipers protecting transgenders reading sex stories to children??
The LGBTQ+P for Pedophile Movement wants your children, and if you continue to stand on the sidelines and remain silent, they will have them. When the Drag Queen Story Hour comes to your town get out there in the streets and start preaching the gospel, and stand against this wickedness. Pastor Afshin Yaghtin, we stand with you and are praying for your efforts.
Pastor Jailed During 'Drag Queen Story Hour,' SWAT Team Snipers Positioned Atop Library Roof
FROM CHRISTIAN NEWS: Afshin Yaghtin of New Covenant Baptist Church was arrested for obstructing an officer as he contended with police that the South Hill Library is public property and that he should be able to speak adjacent to the facility instead of being required to stand across the street.
Video footage posted to social media shows police telling Yaghtin that if he does not support the event, he needs to stand on the other side of the street, away from the library — though those defending the drag queens were permitted to be on the same side.
"So, I can stand right here," Yaghtin states to one officer. "No, you are going to need to go across the street," the officer replies.
Yaghtin then speaks to another officer, and is again told to stand across the street. He asserts that the library should be considered public property as the event is solely in one room.
"This is a public library. The only event that they've reserved is a private room," Yaghtin argued. "The rest of the library is U.S. property. … I have the right to free speech wherever I want to speak."
He was soon taken into custody and charged with obstructing the police, or as reports state, "trying to enter the non-designated protest area." Yaghtin has since been released.
According to The Spokesman-Review, an estimated 40 police officers were stationed outside of the library. Those who supported the event — approximately 400 in all — stood adjacent to library property, and those opposed to the "Drag Queen Story Time" — about 200 concerned residents — were asked by police to stand on the other side of the street.
One photo posted to social media shows a man in camouflage standing atop the South Hill Library. The Charles Carroll Society also posted photos on its website of men on the roof holding binoculars. See here and here. Sgt. Terry Preuniger of the Spokane Police Department told reporters that the police had thought people were going to bring firearms to the library.
"From looking at online conversations, police expected to see people armed on both sides, which resulted in a strong police presence on Saturday, he said, but no civilians showed up openly carrying guns," The Spokesman-Review states.
"The police presence was a little ridiculous. They had snipers on the roofs. They wouldn't allow us into the library," Anna Bohach of 500 Mom Strong told the outlet.
A law enforcement dispatcher supervisor through Spokane County 911 confirmed to Christian News Network that those atop the library roof were snipers "most likely" with the Spokane Police Department SWAT team as opposed to the county SWAT team.
Other photos of the event show three drag queen supporters dressed as "angels" with sheets for wings, appearing to do so to block out the opposition. Some present held signs such as "All hail the queens," "God is love; why do you hate" and "Oh, look a guy in a dress reading to kids" with a drawing of Jesus surrounded by children.
"If Jesus was around today, He would be on this side," one man who brought his son and daughter to the Story Hour claimed. His son wore a dress to the event.
One drag queen, who goes by the stage name Katie Rockswell, read a book to the children entitled "A Family Is a Family Is a Family." The short story is about children having different parental situations, as some have a mom and a dad, some have two "dads," some live with their grandmother, and some are split between both parents.
Those who opposed the event preached in the open air, held signs or sang songs. Signs included, "Teach your kids to love their DNA. Gender fluidity is a lie," "Read the Bible," "Drag = misogyny" and "Only Jesus saves sinners from Hell."
According to reports, an estimated 50 children attended the event with their parents.
"May God use this for His glory and His glory alone," Yaghtin said of his arrest on social media following his release. "God bless all my supporters and friends and those who inspire me to stand strong for the Lord Jesus by their godly example!" READ MORE

"Drag Queen" Perversion Hour
"Drag queen" perversion story hour is coming to our public libraries, including Spokane, WA, where sodomite drag queens are going to read gender-fluid propaganda to 3-8 year olds. Exposing the sexual assault, pedophilia and misogynistic agenda of "drag". (this was a sermon the pastor preached to prepare his congregation to deal with the Drag Queen Story Hour, he wound up being arrested and jailed for standing for the gospel. Do you have enough guts to take a stand like that?)

EPA Asked to Halt Pesticide Use on Apples Until New Safety Studies are Done
By Cathy Siegner on April 24, 2014
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is calling on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to halt use of a pesticide commonly applied to conventionally grown apples to limit storage damage until EPA has done further safety studies. EWG's president, Ken Cook, wrote EPA on Thursday asking that the agency launch a new investigation to determine whether the use of diphenylamine, or DPA, is safe for U.S. consumers who, according to 2010 industry data, use about 42.5 pounds of apple products per person each year. Cook's letter to Steven Bradbury, head of EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs, stated that, as part of its inquiry, the agency "must demand that the pesticide's manufacturers collect and disclose rigorous data that can determine whether nitrosamines or other potentially toxic chemicals form when raw fruits are coated with DPA and stored over long periods or are processed into juices or sauces." The letter concluded, "The American public deserves the same level of protection as Europeans from pesticide risks. We urge EPA to halt the use of DPA on U.S. fruit until a rigorous analysis by EPA of the chemical can prove that it poses a reasonable certainty of no harm to consumers." Applying DPA to European apples and pears was banned by the European Commission in 2012, citing lack of sufficient safety data from the manufacturers, and, since March of this year, the European Union will only allow importation of conventionally grown U.S. apples if detectable DPA levels are 0.1 parts per million or below. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Agriculture found measurable levels of DPA on 82.7 percent of the raw, conventionally grown apples tested and at average concentrations four times the EU import limit. The EPA tolerance level for DPA is 10 ppm. DPA is typically applied to the fruit by dipping, drenching or spraying after it's picked to help prevent "storage scald," a blackening or browning of the skin that can occur on apples held in cold storage for months after the fall harvest. While it's officially regulated as a pesticide, DPA functions as a fungicide and growth regulator. According to an analysis prepared by EWG Senior Scientist Sonya Lunder, EPA has not examined DPA's health and safety aspects since 1998, although the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act requires the agency to do so every 15 years. She said the organization's major health and safety concern with DPA relates to nitrosamines, a family of chemicals known to cause cancer. "People who eat nitrosamines have higher levels of cancers. These contaminants are known by EPA and other agencies to be something we want to avoid," Lunder told Food Safety News. "Given how often people are eating apples, this is a practice that is not safe," she added. "We want answers, and we're not going to get them unless EPA orders them to be generated and conclusive." EWG's recent contacts with EPA indicated that agency scientists were unaware of the EU's concerns about DPA, Lunder noted. In general, she said, European regulators are quicker to act on available health and safety data and restrict products than their American counterparts. "Right now, there's not data available to prove that [DPA is] safe. The European approach of getting the product off the market until it's proven that it's safe seems like the reasonable approach to us," Lunder said. The Alliance for Food and Farming (AFF), an industry-linked group based in Watsonville, CA, released a statement Thursday "urging caution" about EWG's claims regarding apples and DPA. "EWG is once again scaring consumers about an extremely safe and healthy product that parents should be feeding their children more of for good health," said Marilyn Dolan, AFF's executive director. Jim Bair, president and CEO of the U.S. Apple Association (USApple) called the EWG report "misleading" and stated that there was "no credible reason to question EPA's strict scientific review process." "In fact," Bair continued, "only two months ago EPA said, 'the newest data confirm that pesticide residues in food do not pose a safety concern for Americans.' That's great news." "There's absolutely no issue of safety here whatsoever," Wendy Brannen, director of consumer health and public relations for USApple, told Food Safety News. "EWG puts out this data that is meant to startle and alarm consumers, but what people really need to understand is that DPA levels found on apples are far below the levels set by EPA." She said that, while the U.S. apple industry is concerned about the EU's move limiting acceptable DPA levels on the conventionally grown apples we export, the European market represents only about 1.7 percent of total U.S. apple exports. "Is it something that we're happy about? Certainly not. We hate to lose any of our export partners, but the thing with food safety is that any rules have to be grounded in sound science, and there's a question with the EU whether the science is sound," Brannen said. There are about 7,500 apple growers across the U.S., who produce nearly 100 varieties of the fruit in every state, although Washington state is the top producer. Apples are considered one of the most valuable crops grown in the U.S., and we are the world's second-largest apple producer after China.

Wildcard Announces ARK: Survival of the Fittest A Hunger Games Based Title
Mar 16, 2016 Dennis Patrick
Prepare to fight for your survival with ARK: Survival of the Fittest.
Hunger Games has been a popular game mode thanks to the Disney films and now we're getting an official game mode inspired by Hunger Games within ARK: Survival Evolved. Development studio Wildcard had announced their latest installment of the ARK series known as ARK: Survival of the Fittest. This is a video game where players will fight to be the last man standing, but by doing so, they'll have to face against plenty of other players.
You've likely seen Hunger Games or played another video game with a similar game mode. Originally, fans decided to create a mod for ARK: Survival Evolved that pitted players against one another in which the last person alive won the match. However, this fan game grew in popularity and developers were well aware of it.
Taking this fan mod and turning it into a video game based within the ARK: Survival Evolved universe, gamers can partake in developers Wildcard's latest release for free on Steam Early Access. All of the features that fans can expect from the Hunger Games based mod is present within the game while other features such as a matchmaking, tournament, eSports ranking, along with a reward system.
As mentioned, players will be battling out, but they will start at a lobby area waiting to get shot down onto the ARK. It's then up to players if they wish to grab the various items within the center point of the map or make a mad dash to safety. However, as time goes on, players will be forced closer to the center of the map leaving them to fight for survival.
While using the official servers, players can expect to see matches that contain up to seventy-two individuals while unofficial servers can host as many as two hundred players. Take a look at the announcement trailer for ARK: Survival of the Fittest up above.

This informal pool and deck area was added to an existing contemporary home in Floreat. It incorporates a semi free-form pool which fits comfortably between a side boundary and open plan living/dining area along with a generous timber deck area, day beds and pizza oven.
The side boundary wall steps down the sloping site and features a pool fountain/seat with an exquisite abstract mosaic tile artwork designed by artist Emi Minoseki.
