Watch Hugh Jackman Pay Tribute To Stan Lee On The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
By David Pountain 8 months ago
Though Hugh Jackman's X-Men days are now behind him, Wolverine will always be the actor's definitive role in the eyes of many a filmgoer. So when the news broke yesterday that legendary Marvel Comics writer Stan Lee had passed away, the Australian star was among the legions to voice their gratitude for the man's unparalleled contributions to pop culture.
In an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jackman took the time to reflect on Lee's legacy, describing the immense impact that his work has had on multiple generations.
"Let me just say to the family and to the legions of fans that I remember Stan as a true gentleman that had this glint in his eye," Jackman said. "He was a creative genius. He thought outside the box. He created a whole universe that changed the lives of many people, mine included."
Jackman then went on to recall the time he attended Comic Con and got completely ignored as he walked across the red carpet because about 300 photographers were too busy photographing Lee.
The star of a decades-spanning array of X-Men movies also took to Twitter yesterday, where he again praised the co-creator of this property, and said he was proud to have been a part of his legacy:
"We've lost a creative genius. Stan Lee was a pioneering force in the superhero universe. I'm proud to have been a small part of his legacy and …. to have helped bring one of his characters to life."
Jackman is far from the only actor with reasons to be thankful for Lee's work, of course, with an assortment of Marvel-related film stars taking to social media in these last couple of days with tributes to the late publisher. Mark Ruffalo, for instance, tweeted the message that Lee has "made the world a better place through the power of modern mythology." His Avengers co-star Chris Evans, meanwhile, recalled how the writer "exuded love and kindness and will leave an indelible mark on so, so, so many lives."
The list of tributes goes on, with everyone from Joss Whedon to Mark Hamill sharing their thought and memories of Stan Lee. Needless to say, though the man himself may be gone, his impact can still be seen far and wide through the fantastical universe he helped create.

Veniva affettuosamente soprannominata "Tante Yvonne" ("Zia Yvonne").

Nata in una famiglia di Calais originaria della Borgogna, i suoi antenati erano ricchi produttori di tabacco di origine olandese, i Van Droeg, poi francesizzato in Vendroux, che dovettero abbandonare l'Olanda a causa della conquista della loro terra da parte di Guglielmo III d'Orange per respingere l'avanzata di Luigi XIV. Un antenato di Yvonne sposò in seguito una donna di Calais all'inizio della Rivoluzione francese, dando origine alla linea francese della famiglia.

Il padre, Jacques Vendroux (1868-1931), era il presidente del consiglio di amministrazione di una fabbrica di biscotti. Sua madre, Marguerite Forest (1875-1933), proviene da una famiglia di notai delle Ardenne, e fu la sesta donna in Francia ad ottenere la patente di guida. Il fratello maggiore Jacques (1897-1988) fu il sindaco di Calais dal 1945 al 1973. Il fratello minore Jean (1901-1956), ebbe sette figli e morì a 55 anni in un incidente automobilistico e aveva anche una sorella minore di nome Suzanne (1905-1980).

La coppia si sposò il 7 aprile 1921, ed ebbe tre figli: Philippe de Gaulle (1921), Elisabeth de Gaulle (1924 - 2013) e Anne de Gaulle (1928-1948), nata con la Sindrome di Down. Insieme al marito scampò ad un attentato il 22 agosto 1962, quando la loro Citroën DS fu presa di mira dal fuoco di mitragliatrice di Jean Bastien-Thiry, a Clamart.

In memoria della figlia Anne, prematuramente scomparsa, Yvonne de Gaulle nel 1948 istituì la Fondation Anne-de-Gaulle, una fondazione a favore dei bambini con handicap mentali.

Nel 1963, il fisarmonicista René Saget ha registrato un brano musicale intitolato Le tango de Tante Yvonne, che ha venduto  copie..

Q: Can not call Swap.AllInstances() more than once on a type I have a test case that has a problem where the exception in the title is thrown.
The exception is only thrown when the static methods fake is also present in the test.
My presumption is that StaticMethods fake is also doing the swap.  If this is the case, how can I fake static methods and also replace instances with my instance fake?
[Test]
[Isolated]
[Factory("TruckDispatchData")]
public void TruckDispatchTest(
    IEnumerable<DeliveryInfo> deliveryInfo,
    bool expectedResult)
{
    Isolate.Fake.StaticMethods(typeof(Order), Members.MustSpecifyReturnValues);
    var order = Isolate.Fake.Instance<Order>(Members.MustSpecifyReturnValues, ConstructorWillBe.Ignored, BaseConstructorWillBe.Ignored);
    Isolate.Swap.AllInstances<Order>().With(order);

A: I work at Typemock,
Just checked this issue and I can confirm that this is a bug.
The workaround for this issue is pretty simple, you just have to switch the order of the calls. e.g.
var order = Isolate.Fake.Instance<Order>(Members.MustSpecifyReturnValues, ConstructorWillBe.Ignored, BaseConstructorWillBe.Ignored);
Isolate.Swap.AllInstances<Order>().With(order);
Isolate.Fake.StaticMethods(typeof(Order), Members.MustSpecifyReturnValues);

It will be fixed in future versions.

A: Can't say for sure, as didn't use TypeMock library, but I think that the problem is in your Swap method:
Isolate.Swap.AllInstances<Order>()

As you call the all instances of Order class, the static methods aren't involved (as they aren't Order instance methods, they are Type of typeof(Order) instance methods), so, may be, Swap approach can be used in some different way, something like this:
Isolate.Swap.Static_SOMETHING_HERE.With(order);

When You Can't Claim It, But You Can't Escape It
by Jessica Hoppe | December 15, 2020
Defining Brown Identity
"What are you?" a strange man asked after approaching me in a bar without so much as offering me a drink. This question was asked when I went to bars, back when I answered as if I were an automated doll that randomly repeats one of three statements upon having its plastic palm squeezed, back when the most concrete thing I knew about my ancestry—the only information that mattered—was that in my brown body coursed German blood.
The absence of genealogical information poses a great challenge to diasporic people and this dilemma makes us susceptible to manipulation. What I understand now about my identity has largely been discovered in recent years. Growing up, two words offered me clues: my German last name, Hoppe, and the term mestizo. Examining my own features, "mestizo"—a caste label used by Spanish colonizers to classify the children born of Spanish and Indigenous peoples—made some sense, though no one could tell me from which Indigenous peoples our families descended.
I knew there had to be much more to the story.
What has been recorded is that my great-grandfather on my father's side migrated to Ecuador from Germany and took an Afro-Indigenous woman as his wife. I say "took" because I can't imagine there having been much of a choice for her. By my calculations, this pairing would have occurred during el blanqueamiento, a post-colonial campaign to produce a "progressive mixture" of people by attracting European immigrants to Latin America—a calculated government-led strategy to disappear African and Indigenous civilizations from the land mass entirely.
"Esta sí es Hoppe," my paternal grandmother, Benedicta, said when my sister, Karla, was born. She based her approval on the baby's fair skin tone, expressing relief that Karla had not taken after our mother, Cilia, whose flesh shared the same coppery hue as Benedicta's, a skin color she despised. Though Benedicta died before ever cradling me, it was made clear that she would have been as disapproving of my looks as she was of my mother's.
To catalog their colonization of the Americas, the Spanish developed the casta system, a supposed taxonomy of admixtures, and centuries later my family continued to use this colonial vernacular to socialize me. "Negra! No te pongas muy prieta," my maternal grandmother, Beatriz, always said, singling me out among my sisters and cousins—shooing me out of the sun and admonishing me to protect my skin from getting any darker.
The term "negrita," which roughly translates to mean "little Black girl," was a nickname I shared with my mother and for that reason, it was dear to me. Though my father explained it as "cariño," I understood that it was weaponized by my father's "whiter" side to impose a racial hierarchy within our families. I knew, because of the language my family imposed upon me, that I was on the dark side.

"It is true that the use of 'negrita/negrito' to refer lovingly or kindly to one another is widespread among Latinxs, regardless of race or physical appearance," Hilda Lloréns a cultural anthropologist and associate professor of anthropology at the University of Rhode Island told the San Diego Union Tribune. "It is often claimed that the tone of voice of the person speaking it reveals the intention of usage, but just because something is widespread doesn't make it acceptable."
"That affection does not in any way mitigate how it is racially problematic," added Tanya Katerí Hernández, Archibald R. Murray professor of law at Fordham University School of Law, and author of numerous books, including On Latino Anti-Black Bias: 'Racial Innocence' and The Struggle for Equality. "The term has its origins in the colonial slave societies of Latin America and the Caribbean."
"Are you Black?" my first crush, a white boy, asked me as we played together in the sandbox at school, no older than kindergarten age. I wasn't sure. I thought of my nickname "negrita" but I didn't know how to translate the meaning of it—how to explain to someone blessed with the privilege of universality that I'm the darkest in my family or why it seemed perfectly natural to be identified by my pigmentation. When I couldn't answer, he ran away from me. My parents, angry after hearing about the incident, told me I was not Black, punto.
"Brownness is not white, and it is not black either," wrote José Esteban Muñoz in his seminal essay Feeling Brown, Feeling Down: Latina Affect, the Performativity of Race, and the Depressive Position, "yet it does not simply sit midway between them." While I could not claim either as my identity, being the sole brown body in a school of white children clarified that what brownness shared with Blackness is that it can never be white(ness).
"Honduras, is that in Central America or South," my teachers would ask me in front of the class—the makeup of my identity, father from Ecuador, mother from Honduras, held no relevance in the white suburbs where I grew up. In the US, this complexity is choked by abbreviating my family's whole, unique and nuanced ethnicities along with more than 30 other nationalities using one label: "Hispanic."
I witnessed this category embolden contemporary colonialists in my family eager to seize on the perception of brownness as proximal to whiteness but when I searched my memory for the moment when my crisis of racial awareness began, the wheel came to a stop in the sandbox with that white boy. His was my first white rejection. This story is one that I have told myself and others since I left the predominantly white town where I grew up, a place where whiteness was the air I breathed—a toxic atmosphere for a young brown girl that triggered a coming of age largely navigated in a fugue-like state.
I must, however, unfix this story of inception because that day was hardly the first time. The limbs of white supremacy had been working in tandem—from outside and within Latinidad—all my life. Unfortunately, I did not see these limbs as belonging to the same enemy. The experience of being the only brown girl within the borders of my white hometown so demoralized me that when I cast my attention towards the propaganda of Latinidad all I heard was the onomatopoeia of "bidi bidi bom bom." I couldn't discern the drumbeat of white supremacy.
Dominant media images of US Latinx mirrored the parents picking up my white peers from school everyday. All I ever saw splashed across the screen of my father's nightly news programming on Univision was blonde hair, beige skin tones and brightly colored bodycon dresses—the reporters were white but, you know, spicy. Nearly every Latinx family I knew watched Cristina Saralegui daily, the Spanish-speaking, Oprah-aspiring talk show host followed by a telenovela starring Thalia, a blonde beauty whom I loved because she reminded me of my favorite Disney princess, Sleeping Beauty. If I ever saw characters that looked like me, whether on Spanish-or English-language television, they were there to represent the help. They served as otherized foils against which to contrast the epitome of white beauty.
The hegemony of white Latinx and the erasure of Indigenous and African people has had deep ramifications throughout Latin America and among US Latinx—consequences that extend beyond television and film representation but which are certainly interconnected. Professor Hernandez described the "pigmentocracy" of Latin America as "the ways in which there is a social hierarchy that is arrayed from light to dark, with light being places with the most economic success, at greatest access to socioeconomic opportunity and darker spheres with less." She adds that "the only additional nuance in [the pigmentocracy] is that you [may] have light skin but if you have African features or African hair texture then that lowers your currency."
Mestizos, sensing the precarity of brownness, a condition born of destruction, violent colonization and systematic rape, are often recruited to wave the flag of la patria. As part of this political bargain, we must deny aspects of our racial identities for a piece of the white supremacist pie.
"The development of [Muñoz's] thinking on Black and brown life in tandem reminds us that a sense of brown should not — must not — attempt to supplant, resolve, or transcend the Black/white terms of American racism," Roy Pérez, an assistant professor of Ethnic Studies and Critical Gender Studies at the University of California San Diego wrote of the late theorist's work in the Los Angeles Review of Books. "The brown commons are only worth mapping — are perhaps only possible — if the work shoulders a critique of latinidad itself, deconstructing Latinx aspirational whiteness (what we mean when we say "Hispanic"), and enabling conspiratorial alignment with and for Black life. In other words, brown can never leave Black behind."
As gente mixta, the primary purpose we, the racially mixed, served was to demonstrate how near or far we were to the most ostracized: Black and Indigenous people. "¿La peinaste?" my aunt always asked my mother, running her fingernails through my unruly curls. "Tiene el pelo todo musuco!"
We used racist terms as commonly as we used sazon to season our every meal. We swallowed them just as unwittingly. Everyone participated in the denial and denigration of our Afro ancestral roots and prescribed solutions to obscure my presenting features. Like a pinball, my racialized personhood bounced from one set of binaries to another—never finding repose in a brown identity of its own.
I absolutely have African ancestors but I am not a Black woman. I am a descendant of Indigenous peoples but I cannot claim their experience. The family lore of German ancestors and the racial ambiguity of my appearance provided some privileges but the relentless demand to anchor my ancestry according to precise geographic coordinates only makes the holes in my origin story all the more gaping. Once I became able to examine the triptych of my ancestral lines critically, what came into focus was not a masterpiece. I found myself gazing into a void.
Recently, as I scrolled my Instagram feed past midnight, hoping to lull myself to sleep, I came upon a post by a young Catracha, a Honduran like me, who wrote that the Lenca people from whom her family descends are defending their land from multinational development projects. As I read the call to action, all I could think about was waking up my mother to ask if we, too, descend from Lenca people. I tossed and turned in the clammy sheets of my lifelong lament—desperate for information and envious of a stranger half my age with double the intel.
But I restrained myself and saved my question for my visit the next day. My mother responded without her usual defensiveness. She'd recently asked her mother Beatriz to tell her about her childhood, their past, their ancestral roots, but all she offered were vague platitudes. "Todo lindo," Beatriz had lied, describing the father who'd abandoned her by only one detail, "El nombre Turcios es Español," proof that within her brown body coursed Spanish blood.
The last time I saw one of my friends I told her the story of my first mistaken identity—the boy, the sandbox, the question. "Are you Black?" she repeated, eagerly performing incredulity extending her white arm to compare it with my brown one, "I would never think you were Black!"
When your identity can be easily broken apart, anyone can take a piece. I longed to be treated as whole. But how much belonging would be offered if I staked my claim, I wondered? If I wait for absolutes I'll continue to feel alone—a posture Muñoz explored further in his latest book The Sense of Brown published posthumously in October.
Last month I interviewed for a job via Zoom. The sun shines brightly into the north-facing window where my computer sits, which can bleach the pigment of my skin, bathing me in white light on camera. My interviewee, the young head of a burgeoning startup, a German immigrant to New York, introduced himself.
"I'm German too," I said with a smile, interrupting him with the usual bit I use to soften the curiosity of whites.
"German?" he replied—his confusion I recognized but the repellence, this was new. "I thought you were Latina?" he asked. "We're really hoping to get the perspective of a woman of color."
We spent an hour online together that day—long enough for me to cater to the white assumption that brownness is the sum of all parts and, therefore, an asset. After our conversation he sent me a written test which I thought I'd aced, and he even asked me to meet in person for a walk. Though it was freezing outside and risky during a pandemic, I said yes. He told me the team, mostly white and mostly male, would soon be hiring a Black woman for the most visible position at the small company.
I never heard from him after that day. And I didn't follow-up. Guess I didn't get the job.
From childhood I was forced to adjust to white institutions, subscribing to their standards of beauty, language, and comportment though they continued to reject me throughout my life. The "affective difference" of the Latinx ethnicity explained by Muñoz or a "feeling brown" imposed by the white majority poisoned my potential, robbing me of the exploration of my personhood, my brownness.
Home was my refuge. Home was where I could sense brown—where I could hear it in the boleros romanticos my father would sing a capella around the house, where I saw it in the innate touch my sister had playing fútbol, where I could taste it in the subtle flavors of the soupy quisado my father made and the stewy quisado my mother cooked—a lifelong rivalry I refuse to referee.
Personal memory could never satisfy 60 million people but it is where we commune. It is where we share what kept us upright, what made us orgullosos—the ways we learned to be rather than be defined.
At this intersection is where I stopped waiting to be chosen.

When it comes to women leaders in government, the Americas has made strides in the past 15 years. The average portion of women in parliament grew from 15.1 percent in 2000 to 25.7 percent in 2014. But progress remains slow. In 1990, the UN set 1995 as the goal year for women to achieve 30 percent of decision-making positions—a benchmark that UN said should have hit 50 percent by 2000. At the same time, progress lacks when it comes to leadership in the private sector. Women occupy only 1.8 percent of executive boards seats in Latin America, despite studies showing that having women on boards boosts company performance and decreases banckrupcy risks.
In light of International Women's Day on March 8, AS/COA Online looks at women in Latin American leadership roles, as well as why women's leadership is important for businesses and national economies.

A growing trend in the global economy, servitization focuses on the actual deliverables of an asset from the perspective of the customer: electricity instead of the power plant, thrust instead of the engine, mobility instead of a plane or a car. The book offers high-level overviews of how to servitized and manage assets from a variety of perspectives, reviewing nearly 1,500 books, magazine articles, papers and presentations and websites. Written by Michael J. Provost, Ph.D., and a subject matter expert in modeling, simulation, analysis and condition monitoring, Servitization and Physical Asset Management, third edition, is an invaluable reference to those considering providing asset management services for the products they design and manufacture.
Rollover Crash Reconstruction
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "of the nearly 9.1 million passenger car, SUV, pickup and van crashes in 2010, only 2.1% involved a rollover. However, rollovers accounted for nearly 35% of all deaths from passenger vehicle crashes. In 2010 alone, more than 7,600 people died in rollover crashes." Rollover accidents continue to be a leading contributor of vehicle deaths. While this continues to be true, it is pertinent to understand the entire crash process. Each stage of the accident provides valuable insight into the application of reconstruction methodologies. Rollover Accident Reconstruction focuses on tripped, single vehicle rollover crashes that terminate without striking a fixed object.
Design for Additive Manufacturing: Concepts and Considerations for the Aerospace Industry
In the coming decades, the growth in AM will likely be driven by production parts that leverage this increase in design freedom to manufacture parts of higher performance and improved material utilization. Contrary to popular opinion, however, AM processes do have their constraints and limitations - not everything can be manufactured with AM, and even when it is feasible, not everything should. Design for Additive Manufacturing: Concepts and Considerations for the Aerospace Industry, edited by Dr. Dhruv Bhate, is a collection of ten seminal SAE International technical papers, which cover AM from the perspective of the appropriateness (should) and feasibility (can) of using AM for manufacturing of parts and tooling. Although AM technologies have been around for three decades, many in the industry believe that we are merely at the beginning of the revolution in the design-driven aspects of this technology.

Energy Harvesting/Regeneration for Electric Vehicles Land, Water & Air 2015-2025
The electric vehicle industry - land, water and air - is rapidly rising to become a market of over $533 billion by 2025. Some run entirely on harvested energy as with solar lake boats. Others recycle energy as with regenerative braking of cars, buses and military vehicles harvesting kinetic energy. Others use different forms of harvesting either to charge the traction batteries, or to drive autonomous device. In some cases, harvesting is making completely new forms of electric vehicle possible such as "glider" Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) that can stay at sea for years, gaining electricity from both wave power and sunshine. Multiple forms of energy harvesting on one vehicle are becoming more common from cars to superyachts.
The Evolution of Automotive Technology: A Handbook
This book covers one and a quarter century of the automobile, conceived as a cultural history of its technology, aimed at engineering students and all those who wish to have a concise introduction into the basics of automotive technology and its long-term development . Its approach is systemic and includes the behavior of drivers, producers, nonusers, victims, and other "stakeholders" as well as the discourse around mobility. Nowadays, students of innovation prefer the term co-evolution, emphasizing the parallel and mutually dependent development of technology and society. This acknowledges the importance of contingency and of the impact of the past upon the present, the very reason why The Evolution of Automotive Technology: A Handbook looks at car technology from a long-term perspective. Often we will conclude that the innovation was in the (re)arrangement of existing technologies. Since its beginnings, car manufacturers have brought a total of 1 billion automobiles to the market.
Integrated Vehicle Health Management: Implementation and Lessons Learned
Integrated Vehicle Health Management: Implementation and Lessons Learned is the fourth title in the IVHM series published by SAE International.

Integrated Vehicle Health Management: Implementation and Lessons Learned brings to the reader a wide set of hands-on stories, made possible by the contribution of twenty-three authors, who agreed to share their experience and wisdom on how new technologies are developed and put to work. This effort was again coordinated by Dr. Ian K. Jennions, Director of the IVHM Centre at Cranfield University (UK), and editor of the previous books in the series.
A Whole New Engineer
This book tells the improbable stories of Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering and the iFoundry incubator at the University of Illinois. That either one survived is story enough, but what they found out together changes the course of education transformation forever: • How trust is key to unleashing young, courageous engineers. • How engineers need to move from a narrow technical education to one that actively engages six minds. • How emotion and culture-not content, curriculum & pedagogy-are the crucial elements of change. • How all stakeholders can collaborate to disrupt the status quo. A Whole New Engineer is a book that seriously looks at the coming revolution in engineering.

PS5 Console
Sony PS5 Specs, Price, Release Date
Sony is at it again, this time unveiling the PlayStation 5 gaming console. The announcement has attracted plenty of reviews, some comparing it with its previous versions like the PS4 Pro, PS4, PS3, etc. The price in USA for one is not that costly.
Sony expects this console to push its sales much higher than its predecessor versions. People living in Europe, North American, Australia, South America, and Japan can expect them in stores starting in late November. You can expect the PlayStation 5 to compete against the Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
Sony is using the next-generation console on the PlayStation 5. This is according to the words of the department lead architect. Some suggest that the design is to be ready just before the release of the console. The ps5 is portable and its price in USA is quite affordable. This new design has everyone talking. However, game enthusiasts are more interested in its other features such as an 8 core, Dualshock 5,16-thread CPU microarchitecture which is similar to PS4 pro and provides excellent performance even for the most demanding graphics.
The console also features an SSD memory storage, Dualshock 5 features, larger bandwidth and 8k graphics for a more immersive gaming experience. The battery is also quite large. A USB type C charger provides excellent charging and allows you to play as the console refills its storage batteries.
Sony has set the bar quite high. It's been releasing teasers since 2019. Environmental agencies support the company's initiatives on creating more energy-saving products. The cost price is not that high.
Sony Play Station specs
Many expect the Sony PlayStation 5 to be something entirely. On their part, Play Station players expect this version to make up for some of the shortcomings of the previous versions such as incompatibility, better resistance, portable, more innovative designs, etc.
Here are some of the most interesting specs about PS5.
Backward compatible with PS4 Games
Sony confirms that the new upgraded console will be able to accommodate games from its PS4 predecessor. This comes as a relief for gamers who thought that the new version would require a completely new set of games as the previous version did. Attributed to the fact that both play stations use the same microarchitecture design.
Sony expects to use this as a marketing strategy to increase sales for its ps5 and encourage purchases from the new and current console owners. The cost price has been increasing over time due to new upgrades.
Energy Saving Features
The new ps5 comes with an upgraded energy-saving feature. A recent announcement by Sony and its partner Green initiative movement unveiled plans for a more environmentally friendly console. The console is set to use less energy during inactive, sleep modes. For instance, if a million people utilizing the feature, the energy would be enough to power 1000 US homes.
You can expect plenty of improvements to Sony's new console. The developers are looking for a more immersive experience using the sense of touch. It's estimated price is quite affordable.
The controller features high-quality haptic feedback, dual shock vibrators, adaptive triggers, etc. For instance, you can feel the resistance of a bow as you pull it using your console. Here are numerous suggestions on the improvements in texture, response rate, etc.
Although most of the information is not yet available to the public, gamers are expecting a completely new feeling while using this all-new controller.
The ps5 logo remains the same through numerous upgrades. In this version, many Play Station fans expected Sony to unveil a new version of the logo. However, recent reports suggest that the company does not wish to make any drastic changes to its brand. You can expect the logo to remain unchanged.
PVSR features & User Interface
Play Station 5 will support VR features. Although there is not much to say about it, the new Play Station console expects to compete against Nintendo Switch and other game companies currently applying Virtual reality in their bid to attract new players.
The interface is highly interactive and you can get to see more details about your friends without the need to switch on applications. You can also enjoy multiplayer game mode much more easily with the ability to join the game at any time.
Sony is yet to release more information on its pricing. However, it does suggest that the new console will be quite attractive to buyers. Sony seems to have learned from its previous versions including the PS3 high price and subsequent troubles and PS4 moderate pricing and its subsequent effects.
In my opinion, the estimated price is reasonable given its advancements and new features. The cost of PlayStation 5 should not be too high that it could dissuade play station owners from making an upgrade.
Date Release
Many gamers are eagerly waiting for Sony to announce the date release for the new Play Station 5 gaming console. If the company sticks to its traditional release dates, late November might be the best time. The Americas, Europe, Australia, and Japan might be the first to receive their shipments.
Who knows, Sony is full of surprises and they might just have one under their sleeve. The last time was after a couple of Play Station conferences, this year we are yet to see one.


Recognizing important patterns in data, as they occur in real time, is critical to today's enterprises. With complex event processing (CEP), organizations can recognize, understand, and react to business events faster by processing large volumes of inbound data.
Many critical CEP workloads require solutions that tolerate the failure of one or more processing nodes, while easily scaling to handle growing workloads. They must process a high volume, velocity, and variety of inbound data, infer the context, and take appropriate action in real time while adhering to stringent availability and scalability service level agreements.

Which satirical, celebrity pop culture cable TV series (E!'s "The Soup", VH1's "Best Week Ever", and Comedy Central's "The Showbiz Show") is at the top of the heap?
I love The Soup! I have watched it since the Greg Kinnear Talk Soup days.
Haven't seen Best Week Ever, but both The Soup and The Showbiz Show with David Spade are excellent shows!!
i don't watch any of them.
I've never seen The Showbiz Show, but considering that it stars David Spade, I'd probably still like The Soup more.
The Soup, by a country mile. Joel McHale is awesome.
... anyone have any water?

HDFC Bank investors have an eye on NIM, the other on merger
2 min read . Updated: 17 Jan 2023, 12:55 PM IST Harsha Jethmalani
In CY22, the HDFC Bank stock rose 10%, lagging the Nifty Private Bank Index.
The private sector lender's net interest income rose 24.6% year-on-year, partly aided by interest on income tax refund.
There were no fireworks in the December quarter (Q3FY23) earnings performance of HDFC Bank Ltd. The private sector lender's net interest income rose 24.6% year-on-year, partly aided by interest on income tax refund. Loan growth was driven by the retail segment, compensating for the weak wholesale (corporate) segment. Asset quality was stable, but the net interest margin (NIM) was sequentially flat.
As the impact of re-pricing deposits kicks in, akin to peers, the bank's NIM would also see some pressure. In the Q3 earnings call, the management indicated that the increase in cost of funds is likely to be offset by a shift in its portfolio mix towards high-yielding retail loans. While the worry on NIMs is not unique to HDFC Bank, a crucial short-term trigger for the stock is the completion of the merger with its home loan giant parent HDFC Ltd.

The merger process is progressing and the National Company Law Tribunal's final hearing is scheduled on 27 January, the management told analysts in the call. While the bank's management is hopeful of completing the merger before the guided timeline, clarity on a slew of important aspects is still awaited.
"The regulator's view on key issues (like stake in HDFC Life; approval to keep HDB Financial Services as subsidiary; any regulatory dispensation on priority/SLR/CRR, etc) would be important events for the bank in next three-six months," said analysts at PhillipCapital (India) in a report.
Indeed, nervousness around the merger has capped a significant upmove in the stock. In CY22, the HDFC Bank stock rose 10%, lagging the Nifty Private Bank Index. "The stock is likely to start reviving gradually as the merger-related overhang is out of the way. After NCLT's nod, the transition process would be important," said Nikhil Shah, an analyst at Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities.
The benefits of this merger would reflect over a period of time; in the meantime, merger-related costs are feared to weigh on the bank's margins and cost-to-income ratio. The return on equity is expected to moderate in the near term owing to low leverage of the parent, said the PhillipCapital report.
Meanwhile, the competition to garner deposits is likely to get intense among banks. In a bid to give its deposit growth a boost, HDFC Bank has been in a branch expansion mode. This bodes well for the bank's medium-term growth. For now, it has kept its operating expenses elevated; so, the movement in this metric would be among the key monitorables.
