Back to the music. I have been working on getting as much music into the 28 minute Episode length as possible. The time slot over on Western Reserve Digital Radio is 28 minutes long. As a reminder this show airs every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7PM Eastern. And can always be found for download at Soundcloud.com.
I also opened a LibSyn account for those of you who prefer to download from there.
Or just click it here and give it a listen while you read more about the Artists featured this week.
We started off with an instrumental from a guy I found over on Jango.com Hazy Davey. I love the way this guys builds a piece and slings that Axe. What do you think? Can this guy play or what? This tune is called "Don't Go Out with the Bad Guys". Good advice and a cool piece too.
I went straight to a fellow by the name of Malak NJ. He is testifying. With a Song called "Testify". Malak J-N ( pronounce Malak Jay N) is an inspirational hip hop artist, singer, and producer who founded Noel Music Group. He believes that music should be inspirational and empowering. Thus, the embodiment of his music speaks to those who have been rejected and misunderstood. As a result, his debut single " They Don't Understand" speaks to those who have been turn down and ostracized.
Check out Noel Music Group on Youtube.
Then I also heard this guy on Jango.com and thought, that is a unique song and world view. Very similar to my own in many ways. He named his musical persona after Dennis the Menace. But he just goes by the name Dennis. He is doing a tune called "Pack Your Bags and Run". He also does some Artwork to go along with his music and has a new release coming out called "Delusional Facade". Here is the Graphic he came up for it.
Likely, you could be a Foster Parent. And there are many children available in the System just waiting for you to love them and take care of them. In my opinion, parenting is the very best job in the world. And thousands of children are waiting on you. Visit AdoptUSKids.org to find out more.
Dave Kowaleski on Iheart Radio.
Next up a beautiful young lady who performs under the name "Franka" from Croatia doing a song called "Crazy". Here is a little more about her from Wikipedia.
Finally today, we had Mike Andersen featuring Joss Stone with a song I played last week too. "This Time". Ironically, the main reason this tune went into the Show again; besides the fact that I like it, is that it fit perfectly into the time left for the Show.
So that is it for this week. Coming up on the next episode, I have a local duet who goes by the name Dat Dem Guitars. At least that is what I am thinking she said they call themselves in. We will see if they send the music and sign the Release. I am also looking forward to introducing you to a band called "Finding Butterflies". I know you are going to enjoy it. So stay tuned and until next time from deep under the sedate suburb of Youngstown we like to call Boardman; Peace and Love to you and yours.

Q: If function using future arrays I have an np.array with multiple arrays within.
bool_window[0] = (256,1)

in this case i have 40 arrays of (256,1). The data within the array is either 0 or 1 and i want to use this code to check if the next array has more 1 than the one before.
for i in bool_window:
    if (np.count_nonzero(i) > 0)  and (np.count_nonzero(i) < 256) and np.count_nonzero(i) < np.count_nonzero(i+1):
        print('In this array there are ', np.count_nonzero(i), ' events')

The problem is that np.count_nonzero(i+1) is not working properly. Is there a way to say that the next array needs to be bigger than the actual one?
0 256
0 256
0 256
50 256
178 256
174 256
46 256
0 256
0 256
0 256

This is the output i get with this code.
for i in bool_window:
   if np.count_nonzero(i) < np.count_nonzero(i+1):
            print(np.count_nonzero(i), np.count_nonzero(i+1))

A: Since your data contains only 1 and 0 you can just use np.sum:
bool_window = np.stack(bool_window)  # In case you have 40 arrays of shape (256, 1).
n_ones = bool_window.sum(axis=(-2, -1))
has_more_ones = n_ones[1:] > n_ones[:-1]

Hi I'm Lindsay. I've had my 75 860 GTS for a long time purchased from a friend some 27yrs ago, wow long time ago. Rode it with pleasure for almost 10yrs. Trouble with a disreputable mechanic led to me sending the engine to Western Australia to be rebuilt, getting back a rebuilt exchange engine & run in on the bench for my old engine. Troubles at home made the frameless engine move around a bit now at least it has a home in it's frame & a permanent address. Poor thing hasn't had a lot of attention for years maybe here & there a clean & some work. Now after stopping & starting, what should have been a quick rebuild then ride has turned into a full rebuild from the ground up. Just gotta keep the momentum up so I can enjoy riding my 860 again.
Heya Lindsay, that's awesome that you have a new direction / motivation to do her up right so you will be able to once again take her out into the sunlight on the road and enjoy her.

Pompeii archaeological park head Massimo Osanna told Italian news agency ANSA the villa belonged to a high-ranking military officer, perhaps a general, during ancient Roman times.
Mr Osanna was quoted as saying the remains of two or three other horses were also discovered.
The villa's terraces had views of the Bay of Naples and Capri island.
The area was previously excavated during the early 1900s, but later re-buried.
The volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius destroyed flourishing Pompeii, near present-day Naples, in 79 AD.
Mr Osanna said suffocating volcanic ash or boiling vapours killed the horses.
He hopes the villa eventually will be open for public visits.

A new scientific dating technique has revealed there was a building spree more than 5,500 years ago, when many of the most spectacular monuments in the English landscape, such as Maiden Castle in Dorset and Windmill Hill in Wiltshire, were built, used and abandoned in a single lifetime.
"Alex Bayliss, an archaeologist and dating expert at English Heritage, said: "The dates were not what we expected when we began this project but prehistorians are just going to have to get their heads around it, a lot of what we have been taught in the past is complete ********.""

Cerberos Ransomware is the name of another malicious infection aimed at deceiving unsuspected computer users. Once installed, the Cerberos Ransomware changes the wallpaper of the desktop into a ransom warning, which should not be taken for granted. According to the warning, the data of the infected computer is encrypted, and you are supposed to contact the attackers in order to get further details on how to regain access to your files. The analysis of the samples analyzed did not prove that the Cerberos Ransomware affects different types of files. Instead of taking the bait, you should follow our advice to remove the Cerberos Ransomware from the computer.
The Cerberos malware was created by Cyber SpLiTTer Vbs Team which has made a few similar encryption programs. Some new deceptive programs may be launched in the future, not to mention all different groups of cyber attackers scheming against unprotected operating systems. That being said, you should think out how you are going to prevent similar malware attacks.
As to the very ransom message, the user is likely to get daunted by a black background of the screen and a separate ransom message left in a .txt file. Threatening notebook warnings demanding a so-called ransom are a common for this type of malware, but they should be ignored by any means.
As the ransom message suggests, the files are encrypted, but the research of infection did not revealed any instances of encryption. Another fact inclining that the warning should not be trusted is that the .txt filename is misspelled as Red@Please.txt. Without a doubt, the Cerberos infection was made Made with a sloppy attitude that unsuspecting victims will hurry to contact the attackers. There is no need to follow the requirements of the ransomware as it is enough to remove the Cerberos Ransomware from the computer.
Unlike other ransomware infections, this one also provides its name. This is probably done to intimidate the user even more if she tried to search for more information about Cerberos. It is important not to confuse the Cerberos Ransomware with the Cerber Ransomware, which are two different instances of ransomware. The latter one indeed encrypts files, making the infected machine barely operable, whereas the one in question only pretends to be highly dangerous. All in all, the Cerberos Ransomware, like any other malicious software, should be removed for good.
As Cerberos can get onto the computer in different ways, it is worth considering the presence of some other unwanted programs. It is impossible to define the exact way of infiltration as this type of malware and this particular piece can be distributed by bundled downloads, fake installers, and in many other ways. Hence, it is worth keeping the operating system protected, especially when some questionable websites are commonly visited.
If the Cerberos Ransomware is running on your PC, the removal of the intruder should be your first priority. It has been found that the infection does not have a single specific location from computer to computer. In order to find the location of the malicious executable, you have to check the running processes and find one with the description line "Cyber SpLiTTer Vbs Open Source". The name of the running process may not arouse any suspicious; hence, it is important to pay close attention to the descriptions of the processes. Another step is finding the location of the malicious executable, deleting it and killing the malicious process. All these steps are done on Windows Task Manager.
When the Cerberos Ransomware was being analyzed on our computers, the files with the names cerberos.exe and pdf.exe were detected. Note that the file names on your computer may be different. In order not to skip any infection-related file and prevent more serious problems in the future, we encourage you to rely on a reputable antimalware program.
Nevertheless, if you want to try removing Cerberos on your own, the following instructions should lead you through the removal procedure.
Press Ctr+Alt+Del to open Windows Task Manager.
Open the tab showing running process.
Find the process with the description Cyber SpLiTTer Vbs Open Source and right-click on it.
Delete the malicious file and end the process.
Quick & tested solution for Cerberos Ransomware removal.


The Michigan Dental Association strongly believes that Michigan's dental workforce will be the most effective solution to access to dental care challenges, not a new provider.
With more than 7,500 licensed dentists in the state, more than 10,000 registered dental hygienists, and more than 1,200 registered dental assistants, Michigan has the capacity to deliver dental care that is going untapped. The MDA supports access to care solutions that use the existing dental workforce, rather than allowing individuals with a lesser level of education than dentists to perform dental surgical procedures.
These solutions include expansion of the successful PA 161 hygiene program, which would allow greater outreach by dental hygienists within their current scope of practice, more effective use of registered dental assistants, increases in the adult Medicaid reimbursement rate, and more resources devoted to recruitment of dentists into remote areas. These solutions would help more Michigan residents receive the care they need, without creating a new provider.

As I have already mentioned in my previous posts that breakfast is a important meal at our house and I do make something really filling and satiating. But deciding each day the menu for breakfast is a big task for me. The reason is I want the kids to like them and not throw a tantrum early in the morning. Sometimes , I am really organised and have all the preparations done well before hand so that I can whip things up in a jiffy. But sometimes my laziness takes over and I end up wondering what to do. But then to avoid such confusions and headaches, I do some simple preperations the previous day itself which actually take a very little of your time.
So what I actually do is soak up a little udid dal and grind it in a mixer to a smooth paste and add in any of the millet flours or semolina or in case of emergencies even wheat flour or rice flour. Yes, I mentioned mixer, because I do not have to take the pains of using and cleaning the wet grinder too. I allow this batter to ferment and they are ready for your dosas next morning. Simple , isn't it? I generally make dosas with this batter and hence made it on the first day as usual. My son is not usually fond of these dosas as the colour is not too appealing, but I coax him to have a few by stating how healthy it is. But then I was thinking of doing something different with the left over batter as I did not want to force upon him again. So I went ahead and made some dhoklas with the left over batter. He did not want to have when he saw it. But I just asked him to have a piece and not to have anymore if he does not like it. Things were different. He actually liked it and asked for more until they were almost over. He had his sisters share too. She is still young and yet to acquire a taste for this , but will eventually do so. But the boy asked me not to make dosas anymore, but he wanted only this dhoklas everytime. So what is more satisfying tham feeding yourself and your family with this steamed,healthy,low fat and low calorie ragi dhoklas!!
Steamed snack recipe with finger millet.
To make the batter, soak the udid dal for 4 hours. Grind it to a smooth paste using around 1.5 glasses of water. Mix the ragi flour and mix well. Allow it to ferment overnight. Next day, add salt and ginger paste. Grease the pan for steaming with oil. Add lemon juice and baking soda in the batter. Pour the batter in the prepared pan. Steam for 15 minutes till done. Cool for 10 minutes. slice into squares. Sprinkle some red chilly powder.
For seasoning, heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds,cumin seeds, curry leaves,green chillies and asafoetida. When it sputters, pour the seasoning on it. Spread it with a spoon. Garnish with coriander. Serve immediately with chutney.

We couldn't see anything on 1st day because of the fog. But next day was perfect.

GOAL #14: LIFE BELOW WATER
Accept the challenge!
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources
The world's oceans – their temperature, chemistry, currents and life – drive global systems that make the Earth habitable for humankind. Our rainwater, drinking water, weather, climate, coastlines, much of our food, and even the oxygen in the air we breathe, are all ultimately provided and regulated by the sea. Throughout history, oceans and seas have been vital conduits for trade and transportation.
Careful management of this essential global resource is a key feature of a sustainable future. However, at the current time, there is a continuous deterioration of coastal waters owing to pollution and ocean acidification is having an adversarial effect on the functioning of ecosystems and biodiversity. This is also negatively impacting small scale fisheries.
Marine protected areas need to be effectively managed and well-resourced and regulations need to be put in place to reduce overfishing, marine pollution and ocean acidification.
source : https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/oceans/
Goal 14 targets
14.1 By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution
14.2 By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans
14.3 Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels
14.4 By 2020, effectively regulate harvesting and end overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and destructive fishing practices and implement science-based management plans, in order to restore fish stocks in the shortest time feasible, at least to levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield as determined by their biological characteristics
14.5 By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, consistent with national and international law and based on the best available scientific information
14.6 By 2020, prohibit certain forms of fisheries subsidies which contribute to overcapacity and overfishing, eliminate subsidies that contribute to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and refrain from introducing new such subsidies, recognizing that appropriate and effective special and differential treatment for developing and least developed countries should be an integral part of the World Trade Organization fisheries subsidies negotiation
14.7 By 2030, increase the economic benefits to Small Island developing States and least developed countries from the sustainable use of marine resources, including through sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture and tourism
14.A Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries
14.B Provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and markets
14.C Enhance the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources by implementing international law as reflected in UNCLOS, which provides the legal framework for the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources, as recalled in paragraph 158 of The Future We Want

Why aren't people shocked by the wearing of yellow stars?
Anti-vaxx passport protestors have been wearing the stars across Europe, but almost no outrage has actually risen above the surface
Zoe Strimpel 28 November 2021 • 9:00am

We live in an age of such hyperbole and drama that words like 'trauma' and 'survivor' are sprinkled liberally, while rooms that contain people making arguments you don't like are deemed 'unsafe' – as are the people making them. Everyone is on the lookout for maximum levels of offence, pain, misery and damage.
But the irony of this hyperbolic stance is that when something gravely offensive is actually happening, it's not always even noticed or recognised as such. Nowhere is this clearer than in things that are offensive to Jews. Indeed it is actually in service of the hyperbolic imperative – taking something mildly annoying and relatively harmless and turning it into a massive drama – that Jews are openly insulted on a regular basis.
For instance, since the widespread rollout of vaccines, it has become commonplace in anti-lockdown, anti-vaxx passport protests in Europe, and even the UK, for protesters to wear the yellow star. As in the one the Jews of Europe were made to wear by the Nazis so that it was clear to everyone that they were to be treated with no rights or common decency, and to maximise their humiliation before their mass extermination.
The star-wearing began as early as April with anti-government protests in the UK, France and Italy. The motley crew of conspiracy theorists were tantrumming about various things, such as not being able to go to nightclubs in the midst of a public health crisis, but the crux of their rage was at being required to take a totally safe vaccine so that the very societies they accuse of depriving them of their civil liberties can get back to normal: in other words, bending over backwards to protect their every right and sensibility.
The yellow star duly made its entry in protests in Germany, where protesters wore it with the word 'Jude' (Jew) replaced by 'ungeimpft' (unvaccinated). In Germany, however, there are laws against open mockery of the Holocaust, and the country's anti-Semitism commissioner, Felix Klein, said: "If people pin so-called Jewish stars on themselves in demonstrations, thereby drawing comparisons that relativise the Holocaust, then the means provided by law should be applied against them." The wearing of the yellow star was then banned in Munich.
There has been some response to this demented deployment of the yellow star, including from Holocaust survivors. But really not very much, and almost no outrage that's actually risen above the surface. The Left-wing outlets that normally fly into rages over anything deemed 'racist' have been curiously quiet about this.
And while every institution in the country bends over backwards not to offend most minorities, there is a confounded blind spot – as usual – where Jews are concerned. How else to explain the tastelessness, noted last week, of schools asking children who aren't able to wear masks to wear a yellow badge showing they are exempt?
This is certainly not as flagrantly offensive as the protesters' stars and is almost certainly a mistake rather than malicious. But the lack of sensitivity is real, troubling, and should be a source of concern for any civilised society.

In this novel there is a sense of what was the title of Elizabeth Baines' short story collection 'Balancing on the edge of the world'. She subtlely elucidates the tremulous feeling and anxious vigilance of parenthood. There is the impression that threats are always close. What Baines does beautifully is to convey the otherworldliness experience of bringing up small children and their way of making our commonplace world seem bizzare. The not-quite-rightness of the eldest child Danny's behaviour is imbued with a magical and mystical quality.
This is a book that made me hold my breath. Baine's gift is to do the literary equivalent of revealing what is on the inside of trouser pockets during laundry, ordinary and sacred things otherwise hidden are carefully revealed. Both these secret pockets and the heart is turned inside out on reading. The main character goes along the motorway to meet the man she looks to for direction, she stretches the domestic elastic, always travelling back again, she breaks the taboos of suburban motherhood, she risks censure but the elastic tugs constantly. She discovers what is 'really' wrong with her child and the threat is now tangible, accessible.
What I found extraordinary as reader and writer was Elizabeth Baines' ability to convey so skillfully and lightly the nuances of relationships and communication, the small exchanges, the particular words of common conversation that can illuminate the character's view of each other or irreversibly wound. As a reader it was the kind of book I have longed to read, as a writer, it is the kind of book I would dream of writing. To sum up the strength and marvel of this book is to see it like a dust mote, something mundanely domestic but magical, spinning for long moments in our consciousness.

Interview With Chief Executive Of Jamiat Atta Mohammad Noor
In this program, host Wahid Ahmadi discusses the upcoming presidential elections and the Afghan peace process with Atta Mohammad Noor, former governor of Balkh and chief executive of Jamiat-e-Islami party of Afghanistan.
In this interview, Noor, says he is ready to join the Taliban if needed to prevent the establishment of a government which comes to power through an unfair and rigged election.
"If there is no management, then I will address the Europeans and Americans that you imposed rigging on us. If you repeat this, Afghanistan will be pushed directly into a crisis," Noor said.
Noor stated that there is a need for proper management of the upcoming elections to avoid the mess the nation faced during the 2014 presidential polls.

The decisive moment for the fate of the entire Basque race was kilometre 52, when Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) attacked with the help of team-mate Ion Izagirre, the UAE Team Emirates duo and Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott). A head-to-head match started between the quintet and the group of pursuers, headed by race leader Buchmann (Bora-Hansgrohe): the battle went in favour of the escapees, as Yates won the stage and Martin just behind at one second. Izagirre captured the final overall, displacing Buchmann and topping Martin by 29″.

Biomedical Optics Researcher Interview
Steve Adie Cornell engineering Photo/Robyn Wishna 2017
Date: September 15, 2017Author: The Interview Portal 0 Comments
http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/about/spotlight.cfm?s_id=333
Can you tell us what you do?
Steven Adie would like to bring his work in optical coherence tomography out of the lab and directly to the patient's bedside. "Imaging is no longer about lenses and mirrors. It is now about an integrated approach where computation plays an integral role in the process of image formation. We hope to be able to image cancer mechanics with high resolution. What I bring is the ability to move that to in vivo settings."
Adie joined Cornell's Department of Biomedical Engineering in July 2013 after six years as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. There he developed new techniques and processes aimed at providing detailed three-dimensional pictures at the cellular level. He is thrilled about coming to Cornell, where "there is a culture of close interdisciplinary contact and collaboration. I really like the emphasis on biomechanics and optical imaging."
How will your work help healthcare?
Adie's lab will use optical coherence tomography to do the basic science of studying the role of mechanical properties in cancer formation. They want to make equipment that will allow researchers and clinicians to detect individual cancer cells in living patients without having to cut the patients open. They also hope to design, construct, and deploy portable systems capable of both diagnosing disease and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment down to the cellular level.
"There is a lot of scope for applying imaging techniques to basic science. In the last decade there has been a lot of research into the role of mechanical properties in the development of cancer. I feel like I'm riding a wave which is a great wave to be on."
Adie chose to teach his first semester at Cornell. "It is good to connect with students early. I want to get the word out there about my research program. I like to see the expressions on their faces—that eureka moment. That is what I like about research. You stumble across something that makes you think about things in a new way."
How did you end up in such an offbeat, unconventional and unusual career?
Adie had his own eureka moment in his final undergraduate year at the University of Western Australia (Electronics & Electrical Engineering). He was taking a course in laser optics and it all just clicked. "I liked it so much I chose an honors project on laser imaging of eye ablations. Once I did that project it set me on the path to biomedical optics." His path in the field has led him from the surface of ex vivo cow eyeballs in Western Australia to the goal of clearly imaging in vivo human cancer cells in upstate New York.
Adie is thrilled to be doing his research in Ithaca. He was born in India and moved with his family to Australia at the age of 12. While in graduate school, a student from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign came to the lab Adie was in at the University of Western Australia. The two hit it off. Adie returned the visit, and the two spent an intense week running experiments in the lab until 2 a.m. every night. After seven days he went back to Australia, but a published paper came out of that feverish week of research. Eventually, so did a post-doctoral research position.
Now, after six years in Illinois, Adie and his family are buying a house and starting a life in Ithaca. "My family likes to go hiking. We love to spend time outdoors. We have four kids and a dog. Ithaca is going to be great for us." Adie likes to ride his bike and plans to commute to work on two wheels whenever he can. When he finds the time, he also enjoys playing his acoustic, electric, and bass guitars. "My family was here recently and they got to see the house. They loved it. They are looking forward to life in Ithaca and I'm excited to be able to interact with such a gifted group of faculty and students."

After being in testing for over two years, Google has finally widely launched speed limits within Google Maps this week. Following a smaller rollout earlier this week, the feature is now rolling out on a much wider scale in regions around the globe.
Confirmed in a comment to Mashable, Google Maps is rolling out the ability to see speed limits through its Android and iOS applications. This functionality is going live for all users, likely in a staged rollout, starting this week. Speed limits will show for users in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Denmark as well.
On my own Pixel 3 XL, I was able to get speed limits working while navigating home. In my relatively small home city of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the feature seems to work on most roads. Local highways worked well and several busy roads throughout town seemed to work as well. I did notice, though, that several smaller streets lacked data. Notably, Android Auto also displays the speed limit live.
Further, Google Maps is also rolling out the ability to see speed cameras on a much larger basis too. For users in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, India, and Indonesia, speed cameras will be marked on the map. An audible alert also plays when users approach these cameras as noted in a smaller rollout earlier this week.
It seems as though these new features are arriving via a server-side switch. From what we can tell, no updates to the Google Maps app are needed, but you'll still want to ensure you're running the latest version from the Google Play Store or from the App Store on iOS.


Where and How to Buy Cheap Toner Cartridge?
The aftermarket for toner cartridge can be a tricky place to shop. Third-party cartridges cost less than the manufacturers' brands--which is why people buy them. But it can be a lot harder to tell whether a third-party vendor sells good-quality ink and toner products.
One time-tested method is to shop at an established retailer that guarantees the quality of its products. Obvious examples include office supply chains such as LD Products, EZ Ink, 4Inkjet, and V4INK, all of which carry third-party ink cartridges.
But finding third-party ink for your specific printer model can be a challenge, particularly if your unit is very new, very old, or not very popular. Before driving around town to find the right cartridge, do a little homework online.
Like the online arms of other major retailers, v4ink.com has an ink and toner Finder. Click the link to search the suitable toner cartridge from V4INK base on your printer model. You could find third-party supplies toner cartridge for your Brother, Canon, Dell, Samsung Lenovo and Hp printer.
If you have any issue when you purchase at V4INK, please feel free to contact the V4INK's customer service. They will answer you as soon as possible.

Age of Empires, Microsoft Flight return, with trailers
Behold the return of both Age of Empires and Microsoft Flight Simulator! Of …
Ben Kuchera - Aug 17, 2010 7:50 pm UTC
Microsoft is showing a newfound enthusiasm for its Games for Windows brand, and has announced the return of two major franchises: Age of Empires and Microsoft Flight Simulator. Of course, the "Simulator" bit has been removed, so now it's just Flight. Let's take a look at the trailers, and discuss what little we know about these games.
Does anyone else get a Battlefield Heroes vibe from this trailer? The world is persistent, and will grow and change even when you're not playing, and it looks as if social interactions with others will play a large part in the game. There will also be free-to-play "experiences," whatever that means.
Here is what Microsoft is saying about this game: "Twenty-eight years after the debut of Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0, Microsoft Game Studios also announced the internal development of Microsoft Flight, a new Windows exclusive. Microsoft Flight will bring a new perspective to the long-standing genre, welcoming everyone, including long-time fans, to experience the magic of flight." That is the sum total of what we know about this game. The teaser hits all the right notes, but I have a feeling we're going to miss the "Simulator" aspect of the game.
So how do we feel about these reveals? Excited? Let down? Share your thoughts and speculation.
AnejoDave Ars Praefectus
so AOE:O is going to be like that web-only game, with the overly sexy ads that everyone(including me)complains about, but with an AOE feel and different army mechanics? PASS!
Flight? no Sim? Pass.
Lame.
GaoZu Ars Praefectus
Good god, I was actually reading on AOE2 and 3 today. I can't believe they will kill AOE like this, disgusting.
Echohead2 Ars Legatus Legionis
The problem with MS Flight Sim is that there is just so much more they could do. Heck, just get the freaking landscape right would be the first thing. You are flying along areas you know and it is nothing like the landscape really is. There is just so much more you could do.
X-Plane says it is much better, but in reality it's landscapes are not really much better. It really kills the immersion when things you know are missing.

I wish they would find a way to integrate bing map textures into FSX, along with refined physics and graphics engines.
Instead, if the few pictures on http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/ are any indicator, it looks like they are focusing on more missions, more arcade, more sales.
And AoE online is presumably Microsofts first stab at MMO subscription model games.

Couldn't agree more. It's one thing if they returned the franchise from the dead (following Ensemble's disbandment) and tried to be true to the series, but to bring it back and reduce it to Farmville/Evony-like status....
The trailer only shows setbacks from AoE 2 in nearly every possible category.

I used to really enjoy Age of Empires. The idea of it running 24x7 means you have a choice from being overrun by unemployed nitwits who spend all their time on the game, or becoming one of those unemployed nitwits.

Flight Simulators go for an extremely small niche, I'm surprised they're still made. In the least it didn't look too interesting - the water looked like a flat repeating texture plain.
EDIT: The games for windows live literally made me LOL, and that voice..!

Flight looks good, and I will most likely buy it. Perhaps it is that I am playing Starcraft II right now, but AOE looks like crap, which is a shame, because the series used to be more then a cartoon.

AoE:O sounds suspiciously like Lords of Ultima but with better graphics (I haven't played Evony, so I can't compare those).
Ars of Ares Moderator et Subscriptor
Well, it's hard to get too excited about Flight. If they are in fact moving away from the simulator genre then it'll be fairly lame. (That it may be fun matters not.)
But what else can they do at this point? Add more planes? More scenery? The last couple of generations were very pretty graphics wise, and they 'feel right.' What else needs to be done?
Adding accurate scenery is a waste of disk space. I like their approach of putting a minimal amount on the media and letting modders add landscapes and landmarks. (On that note, if you haven't flown a Chinook up to the LV Stratosphere, hovered for a bit, then traveled down the slope of the Hoover Damn, you just ain't lived yet..)
If, however, MS holds onto the sim aspects (real look, feel, and control), but adds in missions and a Kennedy Approach style MMO (not really, but..) piece, this could be really cool. I wouldn't mind trying my hand at delivering mail in Alaska or dropping aide and supplies in Africa, or flying as medivac or even fire fighting.
Somehow, I doubt all this though..

AoE:O hasn't been too terrible to date. The style is a bit more cartooney, but it does keep a lot of the same elements. Maybe slightly dumbed down, hard to tell for sure.

They should make a Starcraft themed AoE type RTS. Units would reply to you clicking on them with a pleasent *dong!*, you'd have to kill the cirtters on the map and harvest their meat, siege tanks would be replaced with armored trebuchets, building battlecruisers would require 300 fish in addition to minerals and vespene, ect...
Evil_Merlin Ars Legatus Legionis et Subscriptor
If there is no Sim in Flight, it can die a horrible death, as can anyone who worked on it, corrupting what was (and still is) the best flight simulator on the market. FSX makes Xplane look like a little kids toy.

So right after Blizzard shows them how to make an RTS sequel they go and do this? Wow.

I used to play a game called Artifact (http://www.samugames.com/artifact/) which was a persistent empire builder like AoE is kinda advertising itself as. . . it was a great game as long as you were logged on. . . log off and you'd get "off-lined" (killed off while you were gone) and you'd come back to an utter ruin. . . it was either band together with people from all time zones who could defend you or play very short games where you never needed to be off-line during the game.
I stopped playing it after a short time - it was just too depressing knowing you'd never outlast your enemies. Coming back to ruin after a dinner break just sucked. . .
I sincerely hope that MS addresses this because it just spoiled a nice little game. . .

AoE is definitely a different animal than the previous incarnations but from what I played of the alpha, it's also quite fun.

While I am still very limited in what I can say, I have been a tester of Age of Empires Online for a while now and I want to address some of the concerns that are being brought up.
First, the announcement that has been made about the game at Gamescom mentions nothing about ads so I don't recommend jumping to conclusions as far as the revenue model just yet. Same goes for whether or not it will be a subscription based game. Here is a quote from The Escapist about what they have found out about the pricing model so far: "Microsoft and Robot are still working out the exact pricing structure, but have hinted that the game will feature "free-to-play experiences," as well as paid "add-on content."" Anything other than that is pure speculation at this point.
Next, this is very much an age of empires game just with some new features and a new coat of paint so to speak. Speaking of which, don't read too much into the graphics. Games like Team Fortress 2 have "cartoony" graphics yet they are still fantastic games that are extremely popular. Realistic graphics will make you go ooo and aaahhh for a few minutes but after that they don't matter.
As for the fear of being overrun by people when you are offline, they have made it a point to say that there is no penalty for being offline, no matter how long you are offline. From what I have read at various gaming sites, you can't be attacked while you are offline. Battles take place with a matchmaking system like many other games. I would say more to give you an idea what they mean by being live 24/7 but I am not sure what all has been made public to know what I can say.
Just a couple more things as I am sure they will come up as I have seen them come up on other places... If you are worried about Robot doing the game and not the now dead Ensemble Studios, don't be worried as 75% of the team on AoE:O used to work for Ensemble and have worked on AoE games in the past. Finally, don't get upset over any apparent lack of historical accuracy. While AoE games of the past followed history to an extent, they were never entirely accurate and as memory serves, I saw a making of video on one of the older AoE games and they said if they followed history exactly, the game wouldn't be very fun so if you are looking for a history lesson, it is best to stick to a history book but if you want a good time, then this game is for you.
I recommend checking out the FAQ on the official site for more.

Reminds me of the concept art released in AoE 3's collector edition: http://www.journaldugamer.com/images/20 ... e4and5.jpg

Sad sad sad. Again with the social shit, and casualization is the new consolization. They kill AOE, they kill Flight Simulator (see, they dropped the Sim part), and they give us Fable 3 without Fable 2. And all of this, wrapped with the POS that is GFWL.
Fantastic, Microsoft. Once again you show why you are a shining member of the PCGA.

Meh. I don't know why they don't just port (and improve) these old PC games over to Xbox Live or even smartphones. Age of Kings 2010 on Live would be fun. But this AoE Online things looks like a disaster. People only play Farmvile and such games because the games are embedded in Facebook -- where such people are already wasting time. I don't think a stand-alone game of this sort will be as popular. I guess we'll see.

There are games that are designed like that. I played one briefly called Ikariam. I was a REAL RTS in that things took real time to complete. If the game said it would take one week to perform an action you initiated it and then could do nothing with that part of your town for one real week. At first when things happen in a few minutes it was ok, but I stopped when it started getting into days to do the simplest things.
Actually it looks like the game might be dying rather quickly:

I would point out that a large part of the dev team that made the previous AoE games is behind AoE:O as well. I wouldn't write it off so easily.
The idea of bringing persistence to it is a good one, IMO.

Age of Empires Games have good, realistic graphics, that make the gameplay 10 times more enjoyable always. I've been playing AoE 3 since it came out, and the graphics are still one it's giant pluses over other RTSs.
I don't have fast enough internet to play almost any online multiplayer game, so I'll be entirely excluded from being able to play this anyway.
A good time would actually making a good, normal, non-stupid sequel. It'd most likely be based around WWI times or some other possibly earlier conflict to give enough of a civilization base. It'd be on the computer, have LAN play, and not require internet. Why is it that all RTS's now and days so stupid? Seriously, I'm playing AoE III and Rise of Nations, because apparently, everybody no one knows how to make a good RTS anymore.
Raptor Ars Legatus Legionis
Eh. I have fond memories of the AoE series - it has been by far my favorite RTS to date. I'd be willing to give AoE:O a look, but... I don't see what I enjoyed about the AoE series transferring well to a 24/7 world.
As for Flight, I just don't know. MSFS had grown really stale over the last decade, and being apparently tied to the horrid MSFS2K-ish engine really did not do it any favors. While I hated to see the series killed off, it really needed to be scrapped and rebuilt, IMO.
Maybe Flight will manage that. I'd basically quit buying MSFS over the last several iterations because it really just wasn't that fun. I used it for "work" when I wanted to shoot some non-loggable practice approaches, but I rarely flew it for fun. The flight models were pretty bad for anything other than non-aerobatic flight, and even then, they would often react in completely unrealistic ways if you started doing odd things like cross controlling. Whenever I wanted to just buzz around and feel like I was actually flying, I'd fire up some variation of IL-2 instead.
If MS can make Flight look better, run better, feel more like actual flying, and above all, make it more fun, I think it'll do well, and I think I'd enjoy it. There's definitely a place for routine "work" sims like the old MSFS, but my feelings on it were more akin to those I have for something like Word or Excel - a tool that lets me accomplish something I need to do, not something I fire up for general enjoyment.
I'd prefer to see Flight really capture the essence and wonder of flight than worry itself to death over technical details until it becomes drudgery the way MSFS tended to, so I'm actually fairly hopeful about this one. Moreso than I am a new take on AoE.

looks like farmville the RTS. I should give it a chance since so little is known at this point..
but it just looks so horrible. This might make sims online look good by comparison

These are like Zombie games. MS kills off both studios and then resurrects them in half-dead fashion. Flight Simulator without the simulator. A history simulator without the simulation. Not true sequels. Really?
I don't think the games have to be terrible, but copying Evony and PilotWings (I assume) is odd.
And GFWL KILLS me. Give it up, guys. You abandoned Windows games, don't keep stringing along titles. What if these are good games? They're not on Steam or Facebook or online, how popular will they be? You're limiting your own profits.

A MMO AoE game? That just sounds stupid. And why did the graphics take a step backwards? I can understand not substantially improving them... but to actually make them look worse than AoE III is dumb. Granted it is supposed to be MMO so I guess you can't expect to much. An MMO RTS game by itself doesn't sound like a bad idea, but converting a well known existing RTS game franchise into one just spells demise.
AstralVoid Smack-Fu Master, in training
I saw Age of Empires and was like "sweet!"
Then I saw the graphics. And the fact that it looks like a real time version of Evony/Travian/insert mmo city builder with war elements here. It could work but it would take some very careful implementation, the likes of which I haven't seen in a game in years.

I liked the look of AoE:O. *shrug* I did get a Evony-vibe from it though.

When I read the headline, I got very excited about a new AoE; then I read the article and realized it was "online", SCREW THAT! What a let down.

What I wanted is a Combat Flight Simulator 4 (I'd played CFS and CFS2 - skipped 3 when I heard it was crap). A good air combat game using an updated version of the FSX flight engine? I'd buy that.
I suppose I could always get Rise of Flight instead.
There's still the problem of nobody making good joysticks that don't cost a fortune anymore.
jollyllama2 Wise, Aged Ars Veteran
I'm withholding judgement on Flight until I play it.
The Flight Simulator series set the standard for flight sims for years. I'm hoping that they're just going to greater lengths to make the game accessible with more "easy mode" features, but that you can still turn it up to ultra-realistic if you so desire.

In this article, I would like to describe my experience with installing and configuring Redis server in most compact way. Also, I would like to do a brief overview of usage Redis hashes and lists in .NET/C# client.
In this simple demo, I'm going to demonstrate how to install and configure Redis on the server and use it from the C# code.
Download Redis service compiled from https://github.com/kcherenkov/redis-windows-service/downloads, then copy to the program folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Redis. If config file is missing, download it and copy to the application directory as well. Example of the valid Redis config file is at https://raw.github.com/antirez/redis/2.6/redis.conf.
The complete set of files for Redis application is also available in zip file (x64).
Alternatively, you can use installer, created by someone (I've not tried): https://github.com/rgl/redis/downloads.
Then restart Redis Windows service!!!
Now this Redis instance can be used as a readonly synchronized copy of the master server.
To use Redis in C# run the Manage NuGet packages addon, find ServiceStack.Redis pack, and install it.
In the example above, we instantiate the typed client IRedisTypedClient<phone>, which works with specific type of cached objects: Phone type.
To configure ASP.NET session state with redis provider, add a new file to your web project, named RedisSessionStateProvider.cs, copy code from https://github.com/chadman/redis-service-provider/raw/master/RedisProvider/SessionProvider/RedisSessionProvider.cs, then add or change the following section in the configuration file (sessionState tag has to be inside system.web tag), or you can download attached sources and copy code.
ASP.NET output cache provider with redis can be configured in the similar way.
The major note is that Redis lists implement IList<T> while Redis sets implement ICollection<T>. Let's see how we can use them.
/// Gets or sets the Redis Manager. The built-in IoC used with ServiceStack autowires this property.
Usage of IoC based cache in the Question and Answer controllers, and Global.asax application file. To see how it works, you can run the project, and open in the browser following URL: http://localhost:37447/Question/GetQuestions?tag=test .
You can play with tags, like test3, test11, test2, etc.
Redis Cache configuration – in the web config (<system.web><sessionState> section) and in the RedisSessionStateProvider.cs file.
There are a lot of TODOs in the MVC project, so if you want to improve/continue please update it, and upload.
Since Redis doesn't store data locally (no local replication), it might make sence to optimize performance by storing some light or user – dependent objects in the local cache (to skip serialization to string and client – server data transfering). For example, in the web application, it is better to use 'System.Runtime.Caching.ObjectCache' for light objects, which are user dependent and used frequently by the application. Otherwise, when object has common usage, large size it must be saved in the distributed Redis cache. Example of the user dependent objects – profile information, personalization information. Common objects – localization data, information shared between different users, etc.

Q: SQL query - not null I have sql query:
Select id
    ,MAX(CASE WHEN (pos = "10") THEN date ELSE NULL END) position10
    ,MAX(CASE WHEN (pos = "18") THEN date ELSE NULL END) position18
    ,MAX(CASE WHEN (pos = "20") THEN date ELSE NULL END) position20

FROM table
WHERE
date BETWEEN "${od=2021-05-01 00:00:01}" AND "${do=2021-07-01 00:00:01}"
AND pos IN('10','18','20')
group by id

I got this table

id
position10
position20
position30

2021-05-02
2021-05-02
2021-05-3

NULL
NULL

And I want lines where NULL values are not picked up.
A try this:
SELECT * FROM (
Select id
        ,MAX(CASE WHEN (pos = "10") THEN date ELSE NULL END) position10
        ,MAX(CASE WHEN (pos = "18") THEN date ELSE NULL END) position18
        ,MAX(CASE WHEN (pos = "20") THEN date ELSE NULL END) position20

    FROM table
    WHERE
    date BETWEEN "${od=2021-05-01 00:00:01}" AND "${do=2021-07-01 00:00:01}"
    AND pos IN('10','18','20')
    group by id )T
WHERE (position10 IS NOT NULL)
       OR (position18 IS NOT NULL)
       OR (position20 IS NOT NULL)

But it still chooses to me where the NULL value appears somewhere.

A: You need to change OR to AND in WHERE clause
SELECT * FROM (
Select id
        ,MAX(CASE WHEN (pos = "10") THEN date ELSE NULL END) position10
        ,MAX(CASE WHEN (pos = "18") THEN date ELSE NULL END) position18
        ,MAX(CASE WHEN (pos = "20") THEN date ELSE NULL END) position20

    FROM table
    WHERE
    date BETWEEN "${od=2021-05-01 00:00:01}" AND "${do=2021-07-01 00:00:01}"
    AND pos IN('10','18','20')
    group by id )T
WHERE position10 IS NOT NULL
       AND position18 IS NOT NULL
       AND position20 IS NOT NULL
