On police reform deal with feds, Chicago can learn from Cincinnati

Over 1,000 people participated in a march for community control of police in downtown Chicago on August 29, 2015.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel says his new police reform plan–for a memorandum of agreement with the Justice Department, to be executed with no judicial approval – would accomplish the same goals as a court-ordered consent decree that would include oversight by a federal judge.
As usual, a lot of people don't believe him. The former DOJ official who oversaw the investigation of the Chicago Police Department called Emanuel's proposal "woefully inadequate."
"This is a nonstarter for anybody who's committed to real reform," said Ed Yohnka of ACLU Illinois. "All the city is doing is proposing to sign a set of promises, with no effective enforcement mechanism."
While the city hasn't released details about the proposed agreement, one source told the Chicago Sun-Times it would include an enforcement mechanism under which the Justice Department could take the city to court for noncompliance.
The problem is that under Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Justice Department has made it clear that it doesn't believe in federal oversight of local police departments. "We've seen that [the Justice Department] is not a real partner," said Yohnka.
Over the past year and a half, we've also seen repeatedly that Emanuel and the police department will pursue reform only under pressure. Emanuel moved to replace the discredited Independent Police Review Authority only after a public outcry. CPD announced a new use-of-force policy while it was under federal investigation, then weakened the final policy after the investigation was concluded.
Emanuel's new plan – relying on Sessions' Justice Department for supervision – would effectively insulate him from any outside pressure.
There are better ways. While grassroots activists continue to press for direct community control of police, there's also a proven alternative within the realm of legal settlements that gives the community a direct voice in setting and implementing policy. That's the Cincinnati Collaborative Agreement, which ran from 2002 to 2008.
That agreement, executed and implemented with the very active involvement of a federal judge, resolved over a dozen individual lawsuits along with a class action lawsuit by the ACLU of Ohio and the Black United Front alleging discrimination and excessive force by the Cincinnati police. It ran concurrently with a memorandum of agreement with DOJ, also enforced by the judge.
The Collaborative Agreement gave a seat at the table, and the ability to go to court to seek enforcement, to a range of community groups. The groups were there when the reform plan was hammered out, and they had legal standing to intervene throughout the reform process.
The agreement transformed Cincinnati into a model for police reform, as well as a "sobering reminder of how difficult it can be to change entrenched systems," according to The Atlantic magazine.
Things are still "far from perfect," but "policing in Cincinnati has substantially improved," Mike Brickman, senior policy director for the ACLU of Ohio, told me.
The Cincinnati settlement was unique in two respects. First, it directly involved community organizations. Second, it mandated a sweeping change in the department's policing strategy by ordering a wholesale shift to community policing focused on problem-solving.
That means officers are now held to account not for how many stops and arrests they make, but for how well they work with community residents. It also meant an end to "zero tolerance" practices, which led officers to view residents as potential criminals and led to lots of bad arrests.
"There are lots of different strategies that don't rely on arresting black people and feeding mass incarceration," one civil rights attorney told the Atlantic.
And as arrest rates dropped dramatically, crime rates also came down, with incidents of violent crime falling from 4,137 in 2002 to 2,352 in 2014. As the Atlantic puts it, police learned that more arrests do not equate to increased public safety.
At the same time, over a 15-year period, police use-of-force incidents declined by 69 percent, and civilian injuries during interactions with police dropped by 56 percent.
Now, Brickner said, many Cincinnati officers are enthusiastic supporters of the problem-solving strategy. "They've seen how a collaborative approach can make their jobs easier," he said.
Still, the process was very difficult, he said, and it took many years for reform to take hold. One key factor was the election of a new mayor who supported the reform process. "Leadership matters," Brickner said.
Another factor in breaking down resistance was the supervision of District Court Judge Susan Dlott. Early on, there were complaints that police barred community observers from ride-alongs, refused to turn over data to the DOJ, and even kicked a member of the monitoring team out of police headquarters. At one point, Dlott threatened the police chief with contempt of court, which would have meant throwing him in jail.
In Cincinnati, judicial pressure was crucial, and community pressure was institutionalized in the reform process. In Chicago, our mayor says we don't need all that – we should leave police reform up to Rahm Emanuel and Jeff Sessions. But we can do better than that.
At a media event Tuesday at the Garfield Green Line station in Garfield Park, a mostly black community on the South Side, Emanuel "ignored" a question about partnering with community groups, the Chicago Tribune reported. When a group of high school students got off a train and confronted him, chanting "16 shots and a coverup," Emanuel "walked by the students and ignored them."
But at some point, he's going to have to stop ignoring the community. Chicago is at long last ready for real reform. And if our high school students are any indication, we're no longer willing to be played for fools.

Distribution
This species of polycerid nudibranch was described from the southeast side of Isla de Cedros, Baja California, Mexico. The species appears to be confined to Mexico and southern California, being replaced by a similar species, Polycera anae further south in Costa Rica and Panama.

Description
The body of Polycera alabe is black with raised orange spots covering the back and sides. The oral veil has 4 tapering papillae which are either dark grey or white and the gills and rhinophores are black with a few orange spots.

Q: How do I setup O365 to allow IMAP? Just migrated some accounts from an on-prem Exchange server to O365.  Some of those accounts need IMAP access.  IMAP access is turned on for those individual mailboxes in the cloud Exchange control panel, but it's not working.  Pointing the client at the outlook.office365.com server for IMAP just comes back with bad account/password on the e-mail client.  Is there some other setting on O365 that needs to be turned on for IMAP to work?  Username should just be the e-mail address, correct?

A: You have multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled. IMAP doesn't support MFA.
Your users need to create separate App Passwords for IMAP on https://account.activedirectory.windowsazure.com/AppPasswords.aspx
This would probably have worked without enabling IMAP for individual users.

By default, POP3 and IMAP4 are enabled for all users in Exchange
  Online. You can disable them for individual users.

To be complete, you also need correct IMAP & SMTP settings:

*

*IMAP: outlook.office365.com:993 using TLS

*SMTP submission: smtp.office365.com:587    using STARTTLS

A: From Microsoft 365 admin center find necessary user-> disable 'Authenticated SMTP' option, save and after 3-5 minutes enable again and save:

July 2, 2015 • No comments
Kyle Fowler, R.N., stopped by the Intensive Care Unit to check on how Moira Nikaido and her husband Ronald were doing following his heart surgery.
It's just past 5 p.m. on a Friday night and, as usual, the phone in Kyle Fowler's NorthBay Medical Center office is getting a robust workout. "There are a million things in my head right now," he says, before taking his 12th call in roughly 10 minutes. This one is from a fellow nurse at VacaValley Hospital. She informs him that Dr. Rehman has been tending to a patient suffering from spinal-cord compression and wants the patient transferred to the Intensive Care Unit in Fairfield. "I will make it happen," Kyle replies in a Southern drawl that is as resonant as it is reassuring.
Making things happen is Kyle's specialty. He's an Administrative Coordinator, or AC—a supervisor assigned to communicate with doctors and nurses, and various departments, to make sure things are running smoothly throughout his 4-to-midnight shift. He's one of 20-plus ACs for NorthBay Healthcare who manage the system's two hospitals 24/7, 365 days a year.
This job is all about problem-solving. We may not always know what the solutions are right off the bat, but we have to wade our way through them.
—Kyle Fowler,
In some ways, the job can be likened to a traffic cop in that he's tasked with "keeping the flow going" while assigning beds and rooms to patients. In other ways, he's a "dad or mom of the hospital"—someone who mediates conflicts, deals with safety concerns and provides advice and feedback, while pitching in anywhere he's needed.
"This job is all about problem-solving," says Kyle. "We may not always know what the solutions are right off the bat, but we have to wade our way through them. And this is often the busiest time of the day. All the managers and directors are going home and everyone's leaning on you."
And Kyle, easygoing and cordial, doesn't mind being leaned on. A native of tiny Buckeye, La., he honed a solid work ethic as a travel nurse and a 20-year member of the U.S. Army Reserve. Before arriving in Fairfield two years ago, he performed AC-like duties at Barton Memorial Hospital in South Lake Tahoe.
As a member of the NorthBay team, he strives to lead by example.
"I'm a firm believer that, if there's work to be done, you do it—no matter who you are," he says. "None of us are too good to get our hands dirty. People around here know that I'll jump in if they need me."
Indeed, Kyle has been known to embrace problems both big and small. To wit: Recently, he scrubbed in to help ICU doctors and nurses with a complicated situation involving an open-heart patient. Then there was the night he made a crucial decision to lock down the hospital when a verbal altercation in the parking lot escalated to an ominous level. In doing so, he cited the safety of the patients and his fellow employees.
On the other hand, he has also delivered after-hours meals to patients, made late-night runs to the supply warehouse, pushed beds and even unclogged commodes. And now, he's taking a call from someone in the operating room who reports that the ice machine is on the fritz. "I'm on it. I'll get some ice to you," he promises.
When the phone calls temporarily subside, Kyle goes on the move, patrolling the hospital and putting plenty of mileage on his Dansko shoes. He starts his rounds in the ICU, proceeds to Labor and Delivery, and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit before winding up in the Emergency Department. He touches base with everyone within earshot, greeting them with a warm smile. "Y'all need anything?" he asks. "Call us if you do."
Kyle is a self-described "social animal" who loves to talk and spread cheer. His fellow staff members clearly appreciate that he's on duty.
"He's not a good AC, he's a great AC," says Cheryle Lacuata, an R.N. in NorthBay's Surgical Unit 1600. "He's open and easy to talk to. He keeps us informed. Plus, he treats everybody the way they want to be treated—how we all feel we should be treated. Having someone like him around makes even the worst day tolerable."
Leslee Fowler (no relation to Kyle), an Emergency Department nurse, echoes that sentiment.
"I know that I can tell him something and feel absolute confidence that it will get done," she says. "He's very helpful in the ED, especially if things become chaotic."
Desi Bray, a NorthBay security officer, cites Kyle's Southern charm as a key factor in his ability to successfully interact with the staff.
"He'd make a good cop. He knows how to talk to people in a way that they'll get the things done," he says. "In the business, we call it verbal judo. It's a skill in which you're able to talk to someone in a tone and manner that gets the job done without having to be abrasive or belligerent."
So far tonight, Kyle's verbal judo skills haven't been put to the test, and that's a good thing. After making his rounds, he returns to his office, where he plants himself in front of two computer screens filled with colorful icons that inform him which beds are being currently used and for what purpose. It's his command center—the system that allows him to stay in touch with the lead nurses and the hospital's minute-by-minute activities.
"I feel that 99.9 percent of problems in the workplace are caused by miscommunication," he says. "My focus is: Clear, concise communication."
To that end, Kyle has spoken personally with Dr. Rehman to get all the details right and ensure there was a smooth transition of care for his patient. In addition, he has had numerous conversations with the ED in order to keep things humming.
Oh, and, of course, he has jumped back on the phone to let the OR know that its minor problem has been resolved. "Hey, it's Kyle," he says. "Your ice is on the way."

Q: Custom Resource for Chip inside SingleField [react-admin] I have a building resource which has department. When I click on the department chip, I want to edit the department. Currently, on GET /building, my API returns a data like this:
[
  {
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Building 1",
    "departments: [
      {"id": 1, "name": "Department 1"},
      {"id": 1, "name": "Department 1"}
    ]
  }
]

When listing the buildings, I am able to the departments as ChipFields using the code below. But when I click on the department chips, I can not figure out a way to open the department edit form.
export const BuildingList = (props) => (
  <List {...props}>
    <Datagrid rowClick="edit">
      <TextField source="id" />
      <TextField source="title" />
      <ArrayField source="departments">
        <SingleFieldList>
          <ChipField source="name"/>
        </SingleFieldList>
      </ArrayField>
    </Datagrid>
  </List>
}

Currently, clicking on the department opens URL like http://localhost:5000/api/building/%7B%22id%22:108,%22name%22:%22Dept.%20of%20Computer%20Science%22,%22url%22:%22http://www.southeastern.edu/acad_research/depts/comp_sci/%22,%22phone%22:%22985-549-2189%22,%22email%22:null,%22description%22:null,%22keywords%22:null,%22buildingId%22:1%7D
This means React-Admin thinks that this is a building, not a department. Any idea on how to get this working? Thank you.
This is the BulidingList to show

A: I just ran into the same problem.  While apparently undocumented, <ArrayField> takes basePath as a property.
While not tested with your data, something like this might work for you, assuming departments is also a react-admin resource. This seems to configure the link automatically created for the ChipField.  In addition to specifying the basePath, I also specified the fieldKey, which is documented.
<ArrayField basePath="/departments" source="departments" fieldKey="id">
  <SingleFieldList>
    <ChipField source="name" />
  </SingleFieldList>
</ArrayField>

Rumble Returns To Peoria

Defenseman played 70 games across two seasons with Rivermen
Peoria, IL – The Peoria Rivermen announced earlier today that the club has signed defenseman Brandon Rumble to a standard professional contract (SPC).
Rumble, 27, begins another tour of duty with Peoria after spending the bulk of last season in the ECHL, mostly with the Norfolk Admirals. The Ottawa, ONT native began the 2019-20 campaign with Norfolk, registering three assists in 15 games.

Brandon began the following year with the Rivermen, playing in 10 games before being dealt to Pensacola, where he skated in two games prior to his call-up to the ECHL.
The Peoria Rivermen return home Thursday night to open up a five game homestand, beginning with three games in four nights against the Pensacola Ice Flyers.

A musical tribute to Prince.
It has been an emotional week for many with the sudden passing of Prince. As has been said before, we don't cry not because we knew them, but cry because they helped us know ourselves. This episode, we celebrate Prince's music the best way we can by bringing you Hot Fox's awesome acoustic version of "Raspberry Beret" live on the deck of The Honeysuckle Hotel on Newcastle Harbour.
Hot Fox rises out of the ashes of the unforgettable Newcastle band, Little Hornet. Ty Penshorn and Rupert Jenner (along with their good friend Vinny on drums) reunited for one weekend of exciting shows across the ANZAC long weekend in Newcastle.
Find Little Hornet on Facebook (where they post updates about upcoming gigs).
See their brand profile here.
With thanks to Honeysuckle Hotel for permitting us to film at such an iconic location.


When choosing a life insurance beneficiary, it is very important to be clear in the designations of who is going to receive the benefits after the death of the insured.
Due to specifications regarding the wording of beneficiaries, certain members of the family may be left out, while others may be unintentionally included.
It becomes especially complicated when there is an ex-spouse involved, or adopted children.
Should the beneficiary die before the insured, then a contingent receives the benefits instead.
However, this can become complicated if the contingent is a minor and no guardian has been designated. The process of determining insurance beneficiaries can be complicated, especially given the changing family situations that happen with divorce and death.
When deciding on your insurance beneficiaries, make sure the beneficiaries are clearly distinguished, with varying levels of contingents.
When writing out who will receive life insurance benefits upon your death, simply putting one-word designations like "spouse", "children", or "grandchildren" isn't enough anymore. If you put "spouse," then former spouses may be included in the event of a divorce. In the case that children are the beneficiaries, then which children will be included must be specified.
Are they only children from your marriage, or do children born out of wedlock count?
Also, it must be specified if adopted children are included, or the children of a spouse which you may have adopted as well. The same applies for any grandchildren. Also, if the children are minors, it is generally recommended that a guardian be appointed, as benefits aren't usually paid to minors.
The beneficiaries can be specific, or a class. Specific beneficiaries are identified by name and relationship to the insured, while a class is identified mainly by relationship, such as "children." If a class is chosen as a beneficiary, who belongs to that class needs to be clearly identified, as legal complications can arise if the class isn't distinguished.
Also, it is advisable to have several levels of contingencies. In the case that a beneficiary dies, the benefits will go to the contingent.
However, if the contingency dies as well as the beneficiary, the benefits may be left in limbo, or to be disputed by other family members. That is why several contingencies must be clearly identified, as many complications can arise considering the possibilities of a changing family structure.
How Much Life Insurance Will Your Beneficiaries Need?
As important as it is to find your right beneficiary, you have to make sure that person(s) is left with enough money to cover any financial obligations you will leave behind. So let's take a look at some of the factors that help you decide how much coverage you need to buy.
You always need to calculate your current debt situation first. The main goal of your life insurance plan is to give your family the money needed to pay off all your bills and debts. The number you come up with should be the baseline for how much coverage you start looking for.
If it's in your budget we also suggest adding a few years worth of salary to the final total as well. Your income has helped support the family for years and a sudden loss could bring on major lifestyle changes. To stave that quick change it's best to up the value some to provide some breathing room as they cope with a drop in household income.
Another category to account for is the funeral expenses. While you may not realize it, funerals are expensive. Funerals can come in around $10,000, and is a big expense that some might not be ready to pay. Your coverage will give your family the money that they need to fulfill your family wishes.
In addition to choosing the right beneficiary, and ensuring that they will have enough money, it's also important to get the most affordable life insurance plan available. A lot of applicants are surprised to see how cheap a life insurance plan can be, regardless of how much life insurance you need.
One of the easiest ways to get lower insurance rates is by cutting out tobacco. Users pose a much greater risk to have health problems like cancer or heart problems, which equals a greater risk to the insurance company. By mitigating that risk they'll be charging you much more for your insurance coverage, and that charge could be twice the quoted amount.
The medical exam you'll go through is going to show the carrier a snapshot of your overall health. If you're overweight, then your premiums are going to be around 50% higher than a person that rates healthy. So when you know the date you want to apply its best to start living a healthier life a few months before. Eat a little cleaner, exercise a little more. These actions will keep your premiums down.
Another action is to lay off the gas pedal. When the insurance company is reviewing your application, they are going to pull your driving records. With a lengthy accident or ticket history, the carrier could see you as a high-risk applicant, which is going to translate into more expensive coverage. Slowing down on your way to work in the morning can save you hundreds of dollars every year, not to mention you won't have to pay those expensive speeding tickets.
Our last tip is the easiest step for you. Compare, compare, compare. And you can make it even easier by working with us! We have years of experience working with quality insurance companies and we've helped all types of applicants get the perfect plan for you. Our status as independent agents allows us to gather as many quotes as fast as possible and present them to you in a simple form.
When deciding on life insurance beneficiaries, it is best to consider all possible situations. While it may become complex and it is grim to think of the future deaths of you or family members, all of these things do happen. Save your possible beneficiaries the trouble of having to dispute the distribution of benefits, and make sure to define the beneficiaries as specifically as possible.
Don't use vague wording that may include or leave out people you don't wish to.
You will want to make sure your benefits go to the intended recipients after your death. Try speaking with a life insurance advisor to determine how to properly designate your beneficiaries.

Wynn expands board with two new appointments
Wynn Resorts has announced further changes to its board of directors this week with the addition of CEO Matt Maddox and independent director Richard J Byrne to its ranks. These two appointments, combined with Phil Satre's installation as vice chairman, result in an expanded 11-strong board. Over the past six months, the company has appointed six new directors and announced the departure of five legacy directors. One-third of the Wynn Resorts Board is now comprised of women – which is in the top 10% among S&P500 companies in terms of female board representation.
D Boone Wayson, who makes way for Satre in the chair later this year, commented: "Matt has ushered in a new era at Wynn, providing outstanding leadership since stepping into the CEO role, and we are pleased to officially welcome him as a director on the board. We are also pleased to add another high-calibre independent director with Rich. His deep financial expertise and knowledge of the lodging, leisure and gaming industries, including extensive familiarity with Wynn, will further enhance the Board's expertise."
Maddox commented: "We have made it our top priority to implement meaningful change at Wynn Resorts and have made demonstrable progress over the past six months. I am excited to be part of this refreshed board that is committed to growing the premier brand in luxury resort development."
Byrne stated: "I am very familiar with the Wynn Resorts' business, having followed the company closely throughout my career in the financial sector and I admire the company's position as the premier luxury destination resort developer and operator. I am confident in the company's bright future and look forward to working with the board as the company enters a new chapter of growth and success."

Seen as yet another hit on expat professionals living and working in the UAE, the new driving regulations include a limit of five years on expat driving license renewals and two year licenses for new drivers in the emirates.
Expat professionals with several years' service or more in the UAE could be forgiven for feeling less than welcome these days, with new regulations on several fronts including healthcare and driving likely to cause difficulties, especially for those with families. To make things worse, the Kuwait administrative count is to consider a case brought by a local lawyer urging expats should be banned from the roads until the government has found a way to cope with the appalling traffic congestion.
The court case mirrors calls from newly appointed lawmaker Safaa al-Hashem, who recently called for a one-year ban on expat drivers for the same reason. The court will hear the new case on May 8, although general opinion believes it will be rejected and sent to appeal, ending up in the supreme court. It's also true that public opinion is against al-Hashem's stance, but several lawmakers are on he side.
The continued pressure on expats by lawmakers as well as the hi-so element of Kuwaiti society is likely to be a consideration for expat professionals when deciding whether or not to take up an admittedly lucrative position in the emirates. Not being able to drive to work, take the weekly shopping trip by car and drive the kids to school is certain to cause annoyance and inconvenience for expats already working in Kuwait, especially as it's the never-ending road works which seem to be causing the congestion.
Expatriates may feel there a choice between feeling unwelcome and being inconvenienced and simply getting another job in another country which offers a more welcoming environment. It's not their fault if Kuwait's population is made up of 70 per cent of expats and 30 per cent of Kuwaiti citizens, and those who decide it's time to move on can't be blamed for their decisions.

Hoe to fix a butterfly leaf table.
Four components allow a butterfly leaf table to close: the hinges, the sliders, the runners and the center bar with the brace that holds the table solidly in place after it has fully opened. These must all be working properly to allow the table to close up. If any one of them malfunctions, you will not be able to close the table. However, fixing this issue is a task that virtually anyone with do-it-yourself experience will be able to accomplish.
Crawl beneath the table, and tighten down any loose screws with a screwdriver, including the hinge screws and the slider mechanism mounting screws. If any of the screws have become loose, the hardware pieces can become misaligned, and the table will not close properly or won't close at all.
Lubricate all of the metal moving parts with a spray lubricant. Spray the entire hinge or hinges, the metal sliders and the attachment points for the center bar that allow it to swivel. Even if the table will not close after lubricating the parts, attempt to work the lube in by flexing the hinge and moving the sliders by pulling the table out and then pushing it back in. The sliders on a butterfly leaf table allow the table to be pulled apart when closing or opening the table. If the problem was lack of lubrication, as you work the lube into the fixtures, the table will suddenly begin to fold up and close.
Wax any wooden runners that the leaf slides on, by rubbing a paraffin-based wood wax block over them. The runners are small "shelves" beneath the table that the leaf slides along as it folds up and closes. When fully closed, it will rest on these runners until the table is pulled apart and the butterfly leaf is deployed. Only three or four strokes on each side is needed. After waxing, press on the center hinge to help the table fold.
Sand any places on the table where wood rubs on wood and makes closing difficult or impossible. Use 100-grit sandpaper for this so that you don't remove too much wood at a time. Sand only areas that cannot be seen. For example, if wood rubs between the hinges, it can be sanded and smoothed out. If the runners have rough spots on the top, sand them smooth before applying wax.

Film Review: 'Crimson Peak'
Published on 16 October 2015 11 December 2017 by CineVue
As gorgeous to behold as Crimson Peak (2015) often is, Guillermo del Toro's latest film has zero dramatic gravitas. It's pop-up book Gothic, rather than a full-bodied recreation of dreamlike exotic weirdness. As a doom-filled romance, it doesn't pass muster because the characters, no matter how excellently played by Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska and Jessica Chastain, are hindered by a poorly written screenplay. Some might call del Toro and Matthew Robbins' take 'classical', but really that suggestion is just too polite and charitable.
Crimson Peak is locked in by a somnambulist, formulaic vibe and comes off as contented to go through Gothic 101 motions without recourse to reinvention or refreshing vigour. It's as airless and choking as a Victorian parlour. "What do you think, does it look the part?" Hiddleston's shady baronet and inventor, Thomas Sharpe, asks his new bride and millionaire heiress Edith Cushing (played with typical pluck by Wasikowska), as they stand in front of the crumbling family seat, somewhere high upon England's vast moorlands.
The answer is 'yes', but with reservations. Allerdale Hall, also known unofficially as 'Crimson Peak', because when it snows heavily the clay the area is famous for turns the ground blood-red, certainly is nightmarish to behold, but it's quite gonzo and lacks ruinous elegance, as well as all sense of good taste. It's no Strawberry Hill House, that's for sure. Sometimes, the imagination of a director running riot can lead to profoundly daft visions. The dank, melting, waxy Allerdale Hall looks like the Disney castle if built by Gaudí. The over-the-top mansion does, though, fittingly capture the sense of aristocratic rot and malicious intent of the Sharpes. It also chimes in unison with the film's blatant sociopolitical subtext. If Allerdale Hall is representative of decaying gentry, it must be lit accordingly.
The vivid cinematography, lighting rooms and corridors in absinthe greens, flame oranges and velvety blues, is worthy of Mario Bava in his pomp, and the prowling camera, inching along corridors with ghostlike stealth is always enjoyable, even if creepy moments are wrecked by computer-generated ghouls and cheap jump scares resorting too often to quick cutting and cranking up the volume. Hampered by flaws and faults it may be, Crimson Peak is no dud. Chastain's icy Lucille is a particular highlight, as is the giallo-esque murder sequence complete with black leather gloves and some hardcore gore effects, and Hiddleston sinks his teeth into the role of a Bluebeard torn between lovers. It's just lacking a certain sense of depth and soul, as well revelations and surprises: key elements which made novels belonging to the genre such page-turners.

JRPG Akiba's Beat Out Now For PS4 And PS Vita
By Mike Sousa on May 17, 2017, 8:23AM EDT
PS4Vita
XSEED Games announced today announced that its JRPG Akiba's Beat is now available in North America for PS4 and PS Vita. On the other hand, European players will have to wait unti Friday, May 19th, to get their hands on the game.
I recommend this game for anyone who is interested in Japanese culture, and I believe Western players will experience a fun and unique adventure in Akihabara through this title. The message that I would like to convey through Akiba's Beat is that people should try not to dwell too much on the past, or stick with something just because they're used to it – there's still so much to look forward to in the future.
Kohta Takano, Director of Abika's Beat
A spiritual successor to Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed, Akiba's Beat is a modern-day satirical spin on the classic Japanese RPG formula. Set in a true-to-life recreation of Tokyo's Akihabara district ("Akiba" for short), players will take control of a party of characters led by protagonist Asahi Tachibana as they seek to rid the town of anything out of sync with reality during a repeating Sunday from which none of them are able to break away.
There are two sides to the gameplay: first, players will wander the streets and question the quirky Akihabara residents on a variety of subjects related to the mystery at hand, ultimately unlocking fantasy-themed dungeons known as "Delusionscapes" which are infested with monsters called "deluseons." These deluseons are encountered on the map and fought in a party-based action battle system, putting players' skills to the test and creating a uniquely challenging experience that seamlessly blends a real-life locale with the secret delusory world of its residents' innermost desires.
Those who pre-ordered the game will get receive a mascot character Pinkun as a 3.5" tall pocket plushie at all participating retailers while supplies last. The game is available for PS4 and Vita for $49.99 and $39.99 respectively both physically and digitally.

Peterson, C. (2015). A Decade Later: Adolescents� Memory for Medical Emergencies. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 29, 826-834. doi: 10.1002/acp.
Approximately a decade earlier, 39 adolescents (3-5 years old at the time of event occurrence) were interviewed about stressful injuries serious enough to require hospital emergency room treatment. Parent and/or other witnesses were also interviewed to provide a record against which children�s recall was compared. Prior to the current follow-up, the adolescents had varying numbers of interviews (2 - 5), and half had been interviewed 5 years previously whereas the remainder had not been interviewed for 8 or more years. In spite of the long delay since injury and the young age of the adolescents at the time, their recall of their injury was still excellent in terms of completeness, unique narrative detail, and accuracy, although there was a small decrease in accuracy. However, recall of hospital treatment was poorer and showed significant deterioration over time. In addition, the presence of an interview after 5 years (halfway through the 10-year delay) as well as the number of interviews had no significant effect on 10-year recall of either event, although more interviews tended to make free recall of the injury more detailed.

Is that the finished paintjob for the IS2? Its a little underwhelming.
According to the two gentlemen in the video, the Taigen version will come with two paint jobs. One will be the 1945 Berlin all green with the usual white striping and one will be a Winter pattern, very similar to what they did with their T-34. HL will probably offer theirs in that upper version green plastic with sticker decals at a lower price point.
Zapper wrote: Is that the finished paintjob for the IS2? Its a little underwhelming.
I don't think so, it looks like they've just photoshopped the bare plastic/metal to be a single colour.
Never mind the paintjob. Most of us will repaint the IS-2 anyways. I'm just glad it's about to released.

Recently a study published has suggested people to change their eating habits. This study serves as a reminder to those who don't have a balanced diet. Body like any machine needs lubrication and fuel in order to work well. Food intake is something which full fills the needs of the body. The study was published in medical journal Lancet, and it has requested people to reduce meat as well as sugar intake. It has also suggested people to double the amount of nuts, fruits and vegetables.
According to the stats, around 815m people are suffering from undernourishment. The study linked healthy eating habits with the climate change, as it claimed that the rich nations needed to adopt more vegetables and fruits. The link is corroborated by the fact that the global green house gas emissions are linked to dairy products. A large amount of forest land is cut in order to make room for the livestock, this also effects the environment. In addition to this, agriculture normally takes around a lot of water, therefore revolutionary means for upgrading the agriculture techniques in the world are needed. Scientists claim that the plant-based diet is a solution got ending the food crisis in world and also this would mean a more sustainable future, as it has been linked with the climate change.
The comparison wants everyone in the world to have a balanced diet. According to the study the North American's need to have 84% less red-meat. Whereas for Europeans 77% less red meat and 15 times more nuts and seeds were needed. The scientists after drawing comparisons found that balanced intake of diet was a win-win situation for everyone. The stats claim that unhealthy diet has lead to 2 billion people obese, 800 million people currently hungry and around 2 billion malnourished and the balance needs to be created so that the less fed people get to eat something and those disbalancing the food chain might eat less. The Walter Willett at Harvard University has said that the world needs to change its eating habits drastically.

In addition to its GDC announcements, Intel has quietly published its Processor Graphics Gen11 Architecture white paper (PDF). Intel's architectural advances have been lamented of late with the last major processor update arriving with the introduction of Skylake, which came with Gen9 graphics. Then with the Kaby Lake processor release we saw Gen9.5 graphics arrive. With the 10nm Ice Lake processors scheduled for release later this year we are expecting both processor IPC gains and a whole new approach to integrated graphics with Gen11 iGPUs.
Intel's newly released PDF is a technical 33 page document that provides quite a deep dive into Gen11 graphics. You can download and view this white paper at the link above if you wish to read more about Gen11 graphics by the end of this summary article. Much of the information presented in the paper was previously divulged by Intel in its Architecture Day event, back in December, and in some other announcements. However, it is good to see it all in one place, with a sprinkling of new information and neat comparisons.
Particularly illuminating is the chart above which compares now to the future with regard to Intel iGPUs. In brief, Intel will be pushing for iGPUs with 1TFLOP performance for Gen11, backed by the use of 64 execution units (EUs), increased memory compression, increased L3 cache, using the Coarse Pixel Shading technique, implementing Position Only Shading Tile Based Rendering, plus display controller improvements, Active Sync support, and more.
With Gen11 graphics in its 10nm processor designs Intel might be able to close in on AMD Ryzen APU graphics performance. The move could also impact the market for AMD's and Nvidia's lower-end AIB graphics products.
whelp, that is damn impressive, and I'm glad to keep waiting for 10nm cpu's.

Q: Retrieving new rowversion after INSERT using @@DBTS - is it safe? It is common practice to pick up the newly created IDENTITY of a table using the @@IDENTITY variable after an INSERT.
Is it just equality correct to retrieve the last rowversion value following an UPDATE in a similar manner using the @@DBTS value?
For example:
IF(OBJECT_ID('XXX') IS NOT NULL)
    DROP TABLE XXX
GO
CREATE TABLE XXX
(
    ID int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
    Name varchar(64) NOT NULL,
    RV rowversion
)
GO
INSERT INTO XXX(Name) VALUES
    ('Apples'),('Bananas'),('Cranberries'),('Dragon Fruit'),('Eggplant'),('Fig'),('Grape')
GO
SELECT * FROM XXX
GO
UPDATE XXX
    SET Name = 'Chocolate' WHERE ID = 3
PRINT @@DBTS
GO

Now is @@DBTS safe from concurrent updates?
If another connection performs insert and updates between the UPDATE and the PRINT, would we end up with the rowversion of the 'other' connection rather than the one from our own update?

A: According to MSDN @@DBTS

returns the last-used timestamp value of the current database

This means it is not thread safe.
You also should not use @@IDENTITY. @@IDENTITY and SCOPE_IDENTITY return the last identity value generated in any table in the current session. However, SCOPE_IDENTITY returns the value only within the current scope; @@IDENTITY is not limited to a specific scope. @@IDENTITY can for example return the wrong value if a trigger gets executed on  a table with an identity column.
