5 Conclusions - 30/11/18
A regular look at gaming-related stories from the past week or so whereby conclusions are drawn from anything and everything. These may be incredibly well reasoned based on events from the week. Alternatively, they may be highly speculative, drawn from very little evidence. More likely, they will be somewhere in between.
Conclusion One: It's about time there was some Fallout over special editions
Gamers love buying special editions of games. They love getting that limited numbered statue, or the themed plastic helmet, or the unusable hip flask alongside their game. More importantly, they are happy to pay ludicrous amounts of money for the privilege of owning something which is likely to have cost half as much to make as it was to purchase. Ubisoft went all in with their Assassin's Creed: Origins release, offering something that cost almost $800. No, really. Publishers know it too, as the proliferation of different "editions" has increased over the last few years to staggering proportions. We've reached the stage where you can now buy a "Collectibles Kit" for a game, which doesn't even include the goddamn game.
So when Bethesda announced their Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition (found at Game at an eye-watering £174.99), and the image of said edition featured what looked like a fairly decent quality bag, one might expect that bag to be included in the bundle. Right?
The canvas bag was replaced — as one user proved on Imgur — by a cheap nylon sack. And in an astonishing display of indifference by Bethesda customer support, their response when queried on this change was that "The bag shown in the media was a prototype and was too expensive to make," and even better: "We aren't planning to do anything about it."
The mismanagement of the issue doesn't stop there either. Bethesda followed up with an apology and offered $5 worth of in-game credit to anyone who could prove they had forked out almost two ton on the special edition.
In-game credit. Amazing.
Whether this original falls foul of advertising laws remains to be seen. We fully expect someone to take Bethesda to court over this at some point. In the meantime, we suggest you focus on what's important — namely the game. Or maybe not, in the case of Fallout 76.
Conclusion Two: Nintendo is finally catching up to the real world
This week, Nintendo announced it was closing its controversial Creators Program after three years. This has been a thorn in the side of YouTubers and gamers of all types since it effectively prevented any footage of Nintendo games from being broadcast for profit unless the creator signed up to the program. They were then only entitled to around 60% of the proceeds, or 70% if their entire channel was focused on Nintendo.
Nintendo has now said that content can be monetised but only if there is "creative input and commentary" involved, so simply uploading raw footage and sticking ads in there will likely get the red behemoth on your case pretty sharpish. A series of rules and guidelines has been published which outline the means in which you can profit from advertising by using Nintendo's game footage (such as YouTube and Twitch).
Of course, it would be cynical to think that this change of heart has anything to do with the forthcoming release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and the myriad opportunities for free promotion Nintendo will receive from having thousands of YouTubers and regular gamers streaming footage all over the world. No, it's far more likely that Nintendo have made this decision for the good of the gaming community...
Conclusion Three: Loot boxes' time may soon be over
Loot boxes may be associated with cheap cash grabs and insidious placement within AAA games, but the practice of including them is now being thrust firmly under the spotlight. The Federal Trade Commission this week agreed to formally investigate them after a Democratic Senator from New Hampshire requested it.
Loot boxes could be worth "$50 billion a year by the year 2022," Senator Maggie Hassan stated in her request. She also said that they are "endemic in the video game industry", and that "Children may be particularly susceptible to engaging with these in-game purchases which are often considered integral components of video games."
We hope the FTC takes this request seriously. Regardless of what the ESRB says, loot boxes are gambling and developers who design games around their inclusion — as Star Wars Battlefront II was — need to be checked.
Conclusion Four: You know, for kids.
In the Coen Brothers' The Hudsucker Proxy, the main character invents the hula-hoop and explains that it's gonna be big because you know, for kids. What the world seems to forget, despite gaming being part of popular culture for more than forty years, is that gaming isn't just, you know, for kids.
This annoys me. It's all kinds of things wrong. I mean, I'm a grown adult and I love gaming. Even if I hadn't started when I was a kid I could like it. Heck, I could be 93 and still be allowed to like it. So when a shop called Retroids, all about selling retro games and comics according to Worcester News, applies for and gets a alcohol licence, this should be celebrated.
However the spin on such news tends to be focused only on the negatives. Negatives which must be assessed and any risks mitigated, because where there is a chance criminal activities can occur and criminal activities with children as the victim can occur, this must not happen. But can we please have the adult conversation about working hard to ensure nothing bad happens whilst enjoying the fact that adults can scour retro games in a shop whilst having a beer?
Conclusion Five: Red Dead Redemption 2 is actually a comedy
Red Dead Redemption 2 is undoubtedly one of 2018's best games — already impressive when you consider God of War and Dead Cells came out this year. Rockstar's hugely deep adventure, while ostensibly a dour tale of survival, is also the perfect playground for some unintentional hilarity thanks to incredible player freedom mixed with a brilliant (and occasionally glitchy) physics engine. BedBananas, a YouTuber who has been releasing videos of gaming screw-ups for some time, has unveiled a brilliant compilation which is well worth twelve minutes of anyone's time. There are minor spoilers but these are restricted to chapter two and earlier.
Who said the Old West wasn't funny?


Riverhounds SC plan to bang it in more often this year in order to lift the cup.
Over the past weeks, there's been a lot of emphasis on the 'who' of the 2019 Riverhounds. Last week I profiled the players Coach Bob Lilley had targeted in the offseason. Yesterday, John Krysinsky detailed the trialists that may join the squad for the upcoming campaign.
On Tuesday, we began to get a picture of the 'how' of the Riverhounds – how they intend to play in order to lift the 2019 USL Cup.
It's short and simple to explain: be more effective in the attack, while not retreating an inch from the 2018 teams best-in-the-league defensive effort.
"We want to keep our defensive principles and defensive records in terms of not allowing goals", explained Assistant Coach Dan Visser.
The 2018 Riverhounds conceded just 26 goals on the year, or 0.77 goals per game. That's a defense that was six goals better than the next-best club in the league.
Part of whether the team will continue to be dominant defensively will be determined by the success of two new Riverhounds, Ryan James and Steevan Dos Santos. Both played for Bob Lilley in Rochester, and it was apparent at training that they will be key defensive additions. James lined up at left back in the intrasquad scrimmage and locked down his side completely, while contributing to the attack as well.
Meanwhile Dos Santos expressed to me how important defending was to him. Dos Santos said "I'm a team player. I work hard for the team. If you don't concede, you don't lose." The importance of defending front-to-back is not something you hear often from a center forward.
It isn't enough to defend well again, though. The team also wants to score more goals in 2019. And they have a plan for how to go about it.
Off-the-ball play for forwards and wide midfielders will be a key part of getting more goals for the Hounds this season. In training, that meant that Tuesday's session was entirely focused on fast attacks. The team spent over an hour on '5 v 3' and '7 v 5' drills, and practiced weaving wide players into the middle and flushing central attackers out wide. Coach Lilley repeatedly exhorted his men to play every pass forward and keep rushing into gaps, and the whistle blew a few times when the pace of the attack because overly cautious or lateral.
Coach Visser explained that the team will likely play in all manner of formations this season- sometimes using a four-man backline and sometimes a five-man backline. But the goal of getting around the outside and behind the opposing defenders is the priority regardless of the formation the coaches select each game.
Additionally, four of the Hounds trialists are 6'2″ or taller – Greczek (GK) is 6'2″, Ghantous (CB) stands 6'3″, and Skelton (CB) and Mark Forrest (ST) are both 6'4″. Bob Lilley likes the big guys.

How did rare photographs of Polish Jews end up in a French soldier's photo album?
Gil Weissblei
https://blog.nli.org.il/en/polish-jewry/
Private photo albums often contain surprising revelations. The captions scrawled between the pictures may reveal new information, while the perspective of the amateur photographer tends to be more spontaneous and original than that of a journalist or even an artist. One particular amateur photo album that was brought to the National Library several years ago is especially unique.
What could possibly be so special about a photo album created by a World War I veteran during a summer trip to Poland? And, what is the connection between this album and the millions of items preserved in the archives and storerooms of the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem?
On July 30th, 1933, a delegation of members of the French Union of World War I Veterans embarked upon a tour of the cities of Poland. Though the beautiful midsummer weather and opportunity for relaxation and travel were certainly part of the attraction, the trip was organized as an official visit, including a string of military ceremonies. The hosts from the Polish army, went out of their way to roll out the red carpet for their French guests. Polish economic and political independence was fragile at the time, and local military officers wished to strengthen their alliance with the French Republic. The French also had an interest in maintaining close relations with this important Eastern European state.
One of the members of the delegation had come equipped with a camera. Amateur photography was already very popular in the 1930s. Cameras of the day were easy to operate and relatively inexpensive. Using his 6X6 camera, he documented the journey. At the end of the trip, he developed the film and placed the pictures in a thick-covered album with black cardboard pages. He then added captions in beautifully handwritten French. The photographer found plenty to capture along the way. The French delegation were bade farewell from the city of Strasbourg with a full, impressive military ceremony. Rousing speeches were made on the ornate podium. Ranks of aging legionnaires bedecked in their shiny medals stood at attention – and the delegation was sent merrily on its way, crossing the border into Germany before passing through Austria on their way to Poland.
As mentioned earlier, the year was 1933, and the ascent of the Nazi party still astonished the French. At the border crossing in Strasbourg, members of the delegation were photographed under a sign which, between two swastikas, bore the slogan: "German people! Fight with Adolf Hitler for a free Germany!"

And here, finally, Warsaw! A delegation began its tour of Poland in the capital. Amazingly, one of the tourist sites they were brought to was Nalewki Street, the "Jewish Quarter," as the soldier-photographer described it. Apparently, the Polish tour guides saw this street and its poor Jewish residents as a kind of 'exotic attraction', a vibrant society of foreigners, with their strange clothes and traditions.
The fourteen photographs depicting street scenes in Jewish Warsaw are not only surprising, but also unique. They provide us an unexpected perspective through the eyes of a stranger who is caught up in one of the most important centers of Jewish life in Europe.
Less than a decade later, this hub of Jewish activity would be wiped from the face of the earth. Particularly interesting are the signs (in Yiddish and Polish) of businessmen and craftsmen caught in the lens of the French camera- the paper and stationery shop, street-porters, Mr. Goldman's glazier shop, the wine shop, and the bustling streets!
The French war veterans were received with ceremonies, flowers, and enthusiastic crowds in Poznan, Zakopane, and Gorlice.
And again, in Krakow, we see a fascinating collection of pictures of Polish Jews. The anonymous French photographer dedicated three pages to photographs of Jews walking the very streets where, just a few years later, the ghetto would be erected to imprison the Jewish population before sending them to the extermination camps.
The album ends with an excited letter, written to the French delegates in their native language. The letter is dated August 5th, toward the end of the delegation's journey. The letter was composed as a greeting to the French guests by a young Polish girl. On behalf of her friends, Maria, Helena and Zofia, she wished the French military veterans who had travelled through her town a pleasant trip and concluded the letter with the statement, "Long live the alliance between France and Poland!"
Six years later, France would abandon Poland in the face of the Nazi invasion. The Jewish streets in Krakow and Warsaw were erased from existence. And the album, which found its way to the National Library, remains a valuable record of a once-bustling Jewish community.

Kristina Kren – Miss German-America 2013
Kristina Kren always knew she wanted to be crowned Miss German-America ever since she was ten years old and a Junior Princess in the Steuben Parade. In fact, she's been a member of the German-American community since birth; her grandparents immigrated from Germany and immediately became involved. She grew up as a member of the Schuhplattler groups SVV Original Enzian and Bavarian Club Edelweiss and attended German School in both Ridgewood, Queens and Connecticut.
In 2013, Kristina was crowned Miss German-America with the Grand Marshals of that year being Werner Roth, Harald Leibrecht, and Christian Dinkelacker. While the favorite part of her reign was being able to attend Karneval in Köln, she took away essential skills to help her excel in her career as a Senior Negotiator in media buying and local investment. "I truly believe that being a court member helped me with public speaking. My career is all about relationships, so I always had to be personable and outgoing, but I rarely had to give presentations, so I never really had much experience talking in front of big groups of people. Saying a little something at every weekend's events plus the Gala speech really helped me become more comfortable with speaking in front of large crowds", says Kristina.
Five years after her crowning, Kristina still participates in the Steuben Parade every year, typically marching with her Schuhplattler group, SVV Original Enzian. And if she had the chance to design a float, hers would be colorful and lively, as those are the most exciting to watch.
When asked what has changed since she was a Court Member, Kristina says she sees a positive change since she was a Junior Princess twenty years ago, "At that time we didn't have a Junior General, so it's nice to see that there is an opportunity for the boys!"
Kristina aims to remain involved in the Parade – she is a member of the PR Committee representing the Parade during TV appearances and other events such as a guest bartending during our Friendship Month fundraiser. She has also volunteered as a Parade Announcer on 86th Street and Fifth Avenue introducing marching groups as they complete the Parade route.

How Long Will Fukushima Stay Radioactive?
Many parts of the Japanese prefecture near the nuclear disaster are already quite free from contamination

On March 11, 2011, a massive amount of energy built up as the Pacific tectonic plate pushed under the plate beneath northern Honshu, Japan, causing a magnitude 9.0 earthquake. While the epicenter was offshore, the earthquake caused a tsunami that swept into northeastern Japan, led to nearly 20,000 deaths and caused mass destruction. However, the damage didn't end there. The massive wave disabled the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, triggering a meltdown and the release of radioactive water.
According to Our World in Data, nobody died directly as a result of acute radiation exposure. But hundreds of others died because of the evacuation and stress related to the power plant. More than 100,000 people were also evacuated after the meltdown, many of whom have yet to return due to persistent levels of radioactivity.
But how long will the Fukushima Prefecture remain contaminated?
According to ongoing research by environmental radiologist Thomas Johnson at Colorado State University, many areas that experienced unsafe levels of radiocesium (cesium-137) after the meltdown have lower levels of radioactivity than parts of the world like Colorado that experience naturally high background levels. In fact, students that Johnson works with in Fukushima experience the biggest radiation exposures of their trip on their flights home when they cross near the North Pole.
Of Mice, boars, and Radiation
In 2018, Johnson and his colleagues spent two months in Japan to conduct a study on the radiation exposure in mice captured from different parts of the area affected by the 2011 meltdown.
Through the help of the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science, they were able to get into some off-limits areas. They captured mice using traps and analyzed blood samples they extracted from the rodents at the Japanese National Institute of Health. They looked for changes in the blood of those mice that lived in areas exposed to higher levels of radiation known as "difficult to return zones" and compared them to the blood of mice found outside the impact zone.
"There's not a lot of difference," Johnson says, adding that the radiation was so low in many areas that it was hard to even find mice with high levels. This finding matched other research that looked at the exposure of wild boars in the area. "There just wasn't a lot of places to find wild boar with really high radiation levels," Johnson says.
Radiation may have negative health outcomes for individual animals that live in contaminated zones. But as other research in both Fukushima and Chernobyl have shown, the overall benefit to wildlife from not having humans around is great for healthy populations of many species. Johnson saw a lot of monkeys and other wildlife in the Fukushima Prefecture.
Past and Present contamination
This doesn't mean there aren't dangerous radiation levels in some areas near the Fukushima plant, however. When the meltdown was occurring, the wind was blowing toward the northwest , contaminating a valley through the mountainous region. These areas still have relatively high radioactivity.
The half-life of radiocesium is about 29 years, meaning the quantity of the radioactive material should drop by half by roughly 2041. The leftover radiation from the much larger Chernobyl disaster of 1986 roughly follows that pattern, Johnson says. But aside from being a significantly larger event, the environmental conditions around Chernobyl are very different from Fukushima. That area of Ukraine and Belarus are quite flat, meaning the radiation leaking from Chernobyl was distributed more or less evenly.
In Fukushima, the radioactive material appears to be disappearing much more quickly. The power plant was relatively near the ocean, where tides and currents would have quickly spread and carried much of the radiation away.
"The oceans really dilute things a lot," Johnson says.
The On land, the Fukushima Prefecture is mountainous, meaning some areas are more affected more than others. Fukushima also has a lot of rainfall, which could be contributing to washing the radiocesiisum out of the soil. Finally, Johnson says the productive soil itself may play a role in Fukushima, where many of the roads are already overgrown after just a decade. In the general environment, the half-life seems closer to 2-4 years, he says.
Potential Holdouts
While rain is contributing to the decrease in radiocesium, the decreases might not occur equally in closed systems where the water doesn't run off. Yuko Hatano, an engineer at the University of Tsukuba in Japan, and her colleagues examined the radioactivity of Lake Omuna, a lake way north of Fukushima in Hokkaido. Lake Onuma is a high mountain lake with relatively low amounts of new water intake and runoff. Researchers had taken measurements of the water for the first few years after the disaster and found that the radioactivity declined sharply.
But the problem is, the radiocesium stopped dropping at the same rate after the initial dive. Hatano and her colleagues determined that in a closed system like Lake Onuma, the decline was still related to the half-life, and wouldn't likely drop again for another 30 years or so.
"We can't be immediately happy if we see that rapid decrease at that very early stage after the accident," Hatano says.
Just the same, the levels of radioactivity in Lake Onuma have been safe enough compared to national levels other than in the period directly following the disaster.
"Both water and fish are in a safe level," Hatano says.
For Johnson, most of the Fukushima area is safe at this point other than the areas right next to the Daiichi reactors. When people ask him how safe it is, he says: "I took my family there, I took my kids there. They thought it was one of the best experiences of their life."

San Pedro baseball team walks home a winner…
Glendale power plant protest
San Pedro baseball team walks home a winner against Narbonne
By The Pasadena Star-News | pasadenastarnews@dfmdev.com |
PUBLISHED: April 28, 2012 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 10:20 am
When Narbonne ace Chaco Corniel entered the tied game with two on and two out in the seventh inning, San Pedro batters were instructed not to swing until they'd seen a strike.
Turns out keeping the bats on their shoulders was all the Pirates needed to do as they found yet another way to win.
Corniel intentionally walked Blake Mendoza to load the bases, then walked Jacob Lechuga on four pitches to force in the winning run and complete San Pedro's 4-3 comeback win over visiting Narbonne in Friday's Marine League baseball game.
The victory completes a series sweep of the Gauchos, who were looking to gain a share of first place, and extends the Pirates' winning streak to 12 games.
"We won our last game, so we had the confidence we could beat them," Mendoza said. "But this game was big. We had to get this one. We just keep finding ways to win."
San Pedro (16-8, 6-0) rallied from a 3-1 deficit to tie the game in the fifth. A two-out, bases-loaded double by Mendoza drove in two runs and made Narbonne (10-12, 4-2) reluctant to pitch to him when he came to bat in the seventh.
"He's the guy who hit the double over the left fielder's head, so we decided not to pitch to him," Narbonne coach Bill Dillon said. "With our best pitcher in, we expected better."
With Jesse Bettencourt and Armando Hernandez already on base after a walk and a single off Gauchos starter Daniel Rocha, the walk to Mendoza advanced the deciding run to third base and left no room for error.
"I was surprised," San Pedro coach Bob Ramirez said of the intentional walk that brought up Lechuga, the Pirates' cleanup hitter. "But Blake is one of the guys they have a lot of respect for. He's doing really well. It's a big sign of respect for him."
Realizing the pressure on Corniel, Ramirez told his batters to be patient.
"We were taking until we got a strike," Ramirez said. "He came in in a big situation. There's a lot on him. … I said let's take until we get a strike. Maybe once we do, we try to poke something in the gap and score the run. It didn't get to that.
"It was a good game. It was a quality win from a quality team."
Bettencourt (3-0) paced San Pedro at the plate and on the mound. He went 3 for 3, including a double, with a walk and three runs scored. He also pitched a complete-game four-hitter with six strikeouts, overcoming three errors by the Pirates' defense.
"I tried to pitch my heart out," Bettencourt said. "This was probably for the Marine League title, so we really wanted this."
Mendoza had a game-high three RBIs, having also driven in the Pirates' first run on a first-inning groundout that left the game tied 1-1 until the fourth.
Back-to-back doubles by Narbonne's Ricky Perez and Isac Lepe broke the tie in the fourth. Omar Avila extended the Gauchos' lead when he doubled and scored on an error in the fifth. Lepe finished 2 for 3 with two RBIs.
Rocha, a freshman left-hander, took the loss after allowing seven hits with two walks and three strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.
"He did outstanding," Dillon said "You're pleased with his performance, but it's hard to focus on that now. … It's heartbreaking, but you know Banning and Carson aren't feeling sorry for us."

WATCH: Making a Cloth Mask, Who They Really Protect
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention via YouTube
The Maine CDC's Dr. Nirav Shah offered his thoughts on cloth masks saying, while they offer some protection for others, they are not a substitute for social distancing.
The United State Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a recommendation over the weekend that residents may want to start wearing cloth masks whenever they go out in public. It's not a requirement, but a suggestion that could help slow the spread of COVID-19. U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams demonstrates how to make a cloth mask at home:
In his daily press briefing on Monday, the Maine CDC's Dr. Shah explained the reason for the masks, and also offered a strong word of caution. He said the masks are meant to protect others from being infected by you, not the other way around. It's possible, even though you're feeling fine, that you could be contagious, despite having no symptoms. They are a good idea, he said, but people need to understand the reasons behind wearing them.
And he warns that wearing a mask does NOT replace social distancing. Dr. James Jarvis of Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center echoed that sentiment in a subsequent press briefing, saying that he'd even noticed a group of healthcare workers who were not far enough apart, but felt comfortable because of the masks.
The best deterrent for slowing the spread of COVID-19 is still social distancing, according to both Dr.'s Shah and Jenkins. Residents are reminded to stay home as much as possible and wash their hands frequently and thoroughly.

Now this is more like it; plenty of sunshine and perfect temperatures in the low twenties. We're no longer sweltering in the heat and the grass is green once more thanks to a few summer downpours. A Sunday afternoon in the garden is certainly in order this weekend and we have the perfect accompaniment to relaxing on a lounger with a good book or chilling out with a few friends along with the BBQ; rosé wine cocktails!
When you open a bottle of rosé wine the first thing that hits you is the summer fruit scent. Whether it's a Californian Zinfandel Rosé or a South African Shiraz Rosé, the beautiful colour, subtle sweetness and vivacious fruitiness will never fail to get your taste buds tingling. Premier Estates Wine have 4 amazing, award winning rosé wines in our portfolio; 3 still wines from California, South Africa and Italy, and also our terrifically popular "Pink Prosecco" sparkling Italian Grand Rosé.
Half fill a large wine glass with the rosé wine add some crushed ice. Put in a couple of teaspoons of your chosen confiture and stir in the vodka, crème de cassis and lemon juice. As you add these, you can taste-test to set your preferred level of sweetness and acidity of the lemon juice.
Fill a large wine glass halfway with the Italian Grand Rosé wine and a little crushed ice. Gently stir in the shot of cherry vodka and the shots of grapefruit juice and then carefully add the cherryade so that you don't get a mad fizz-over. Pop in the cocktail cherry and give the whole thing a gentle stir to help all those flavours blend perfectly.
Half fill a large wine glass with the crushed ice and then top up with rosé wine, leaving room for the strawberry syrup, orange juice and mango. The quantities can be tweaked to suit your taste but this cocktail is designed to be gentle on the taste buds. You can add a shot of strawberry liqueur if you'd like an extra kick in your cocktail; it's entirely your choice.
Put the mint, syrup and a little pepper into a cocktail shaker with some ice and give it a vigorous shake. Fill a wine glass to halfway with the rosé wine and then carefully add the contents of the shaker. Top up with a little chilled sparkling water and enjoy!
We have a whole host of rosé wine cocktails in our repertoire and we'll be sure to return to this topic very soon. Until then, enjoy these recipes and be sure to make the most of the best of the UK weather.


Thomas Mellon was the son of a farmer, and worked his way through law school to become a lawyer specializing in debt foreclosures. He became a wealthy man when he married Sarah Jane Negley, daughter of John Jacob Negley (1766-1827), who had himself married into wealth. With his wife's funds he purchased substantial Pittsburgh area real estate holdings, and later he served ten years as a county judge with a reputation for issuing stern punishments. With two of his sons he established the family business, T. Mellon & Sons Bank, in 1869, which financed railroads, funded the first oil gushers in Texas, and underwrote the new wonder metal, aluminum.
By the time Mellon retired, he was one of America's wealthiest men, and at his death he was reportedly worth more than $125M. His descendants took the family fortune into the billions running such corporate giants as Alcoa, Gulf Oil, and Westinghouse, and established what is now Carnegie Mellon University. The family bank has evolved into Mellon Financial, one of the world's largest money management firms, which owns a breathtaking array of well-known banks and corporations.

Greece-Bulgaria pipeline starts operations to boost non-Russian gas flows

By Euronews with Reuters • Updated: 01/10/2022 – 14:51
Greece and Bulgaria have started commercially operating a long-delayed gas pipeline, which will help decrease southeast Europe's dependence on Russian gas and boost energy security.
The 182-kilometre pipeline will provide a relief to Bulgaria, which has been struggling to secure gas supplies at affordable prices since the end of April, when Russia's Gazprom cut off deliveries over Sofia's refusal to pay in roubles.
Russia has decreased its gas deliveries to Europe after the West imposed sanctions on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine, leaving European Union countries scrambling to secure alternative supplies amid surging prices.
The European Commission president welcomed the pipeline's launch on Saturday, which she said was key to breaking away from Russian energy.
"This pipeline is a game changer. It's a game changer for Bulgaria and for Europe's energy security. And it means freedom. It means freedom from dependency on Russian gas," Ursula von der Leyen said during an inauguration ceremony in Sofia attended by the leaders of Bulgaria, Greece, Azerbaijan, Romania, Serbia and North Macedonia.
"Both here in Bulgaria and across Europe people are feeling the consequences of Russia's war. But thanks to projects like this, Europe will have enough gas for the winter," she said.
The Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) pipeline will transport 1 billion cubic metres (bcm) of Azeri gas to Bulgaria.
With an initial capacity of 3 bcm per year and plans to later raise this to 5 bcm, the pipeline could provide non-Russian gas to neighbouring Serbia, North Macedonia, Romania and further to Moldova and Ukraine.
It will carry gas from the northern Greek city of Komotini to Stara Zagora in Bulgaria. IGB is linked to another pipeline, part of Southern Gas Corridor that carries Azeri gas to Europe.
On Friday, gas operators in Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia proposed to transport increased Azeri shipments through their networks to central Europe.
The €240 million pipeline is controlled by a joint venture between Bulgarian state energy company BEH, Greek gas utility DEPA and Italy's Edison.
Bulgaria and Greece open new gas pipeline to cut reliance on Russia
Baltic Pipe gas pipeline opens
Gas started flowing to Poland through the new Baltic Pipe pipeline from Norway via Denmark and the Baltic Sea on Saturday morning, Polish gas pipeline operator Gaz-System said.
The pipeline is at the centre of Poland's strategy to diversify its gas supplies away from Russia that began years before Moscow's February invasion of Ukraine triggered a global energy crisis.
A Gaz-System spokeswoman told Reuters that flows started at 06.10 CET and nominations, or requests for sending gas through the pipeline on October 1, totalled 62.4 million kilowatt-hours (kwh).
The pipeline, with an annual capacity of 10 billion cubic meters, was officially inaugurated on Tuesday, a day after leaks were detected in the subsea Nord Stream gas pipelines linking Russia to Europe.
Russia cut gas supplies to Poland in April when it refused to pay in roubles.
Denmark and Sweden said on Friday that leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines were caused by "at least two detonations" with "several hundred kilos" of explosives.
EU leaders warned that leaks discovered on the two natural gas pipelines earlier in the week could be "sabotage".
While the pipelines connecting Russia to Germany still contained some natural gas, the EU said the leaks hadn't affected the bloc's gas supply.

Q: Am I a spambot or is it just a wrongly configured Tor? I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 and constantly experience trouble browsing, i.e. extremely slow-loading websites. I'm fairly confident it's not just a network problem.
Sometimes I find that when Chrome repeatedly times out, Firefox works better. However, googling anything from Firefox usually brings me to the Google error message: It appears your computer is sending automated requests, where I have to enter a captcha to continue. These error messages also indicate that my queries are coming from strange IPs from all over the world. The last one a few minutes ago was 96.47.226.20 (supposedly in Florida, though I'm in Ontario).
Googling these IPs usually brings up some databases about spambots and some lists of Tor end nodes. I once had a Torbutton extension installed in Firefox but it was buggy so I removed it.
Could my surfing problems be the result of a remaining Tor configuration within Firefox and the result of something unrelated in Chrome? Is it likely that I have been made a spambot and need a clean install of the OS? How could I diagnose the Tor theory further?

A: Try sudo ps aux | grep tor, you'll know if it's working ;)

Q: Differentiating between different running instances of a process I was wondering how to differentiate between two different instances of a software that is running in C#. Let's say I have 2 different videos running with the same software (both with KMPlayer) or I have two remote desktop sessions (mstsc.exe) open at the same time. I can use this code to get all the instances :
Process.GetProcessesByName("mstsc");

But how can I differentiate between those instances?
I am mainly looking to differentiate the different running video instances and remote desktop instances in my software.

A: Check if Process Id or MainWindowTitle works for you.

Wacom has reached 100 million units of pen component . production demonstrating the potential of the digital pen as a primary tool in the age of "digital stationery"
April 17, 2014 (Tokyo, Japan) -- Wacom Co., Ltd. today announced that cumulative production of its unique digital pen components reached 100 million units as of April 16th, 2014. Called "Wacom® feel IT technologies (branded feel™)," the pen components are optimized for use in mobile products such as smartphones and tablets. Out of the 100 million, 90 million have been manufactured in the last three years, illustrating the accelerating demand for digital pens as a speedy, high-precision input tool on mobile products.
Wacom's component business took off in 1991 on an OEM basis, supplying key components to leading overseas and domestic PC manufacturers. This followed the trend to incorporate pen input features into operating systems such as Windows 3.1 by Microsoft and "Pen Point" by GO Corporation in the USA.
The business grew to an annual production of 100,000 units by 2002, increasing to 1 million units by 2006. Adoption of feel by Samsung Electronics for their "Galaxy Note" flagship smartphone in 2011 accelerated this growth, building momentum. The annual volume in fiscal year 2013 reached 43.5 million units thanks to the growing smartphone market and diversifying customer base to include tablets and e-books on Windows and Android OS.
In addition to the current EMR (Electro-Magnetic Resonance) technology, Wacom will be adding two new types of electrostatic pen technologies --- "Active ES" and "Passive ES" --- to achieve further growth. With this "Multi-Technology Strategy" covering a wide range from heavy to light user needs, Wacom will drive the penetration of digital pens as a key interface tool on mobile products, and demonstrate its long term commitment to its partners worldwide. (For more details see Wacom's press release on March 11, 2014.) It is also possible to assign a dedicated ID to each pen, identifying individual users who can then collaborate, share and edit handwritten content via the cloud. Security features can also be added to the ink data exchanged on the cloud.
In February this year, Wacom announced "WILL (Wacom Ink Layer Language)" which makes "digital ink" compatible across multiple operating systems and hardware platforms. The Wacom Ink Layer Language paves the way for "digital stationery" in which people can use digital pens with mobile products and share content over the cloud. This combination of WILL, the evolution in our pen technologies, and the growth in how people use technology means that Wacom is in a uniquely strong position to lead the movement towards the age of "digital stationery" in collaboration with our industry partners.
Founded in Japan in 1983, Wacom is now a global company with offices around the world supporting marketing and distribution in over 150 countries. For more than 30 years, Wacom has worked with the most creative people and organisations to inspire and equip them to make the world a more creative place.
Wacom's products have been used by loyal customers to create some of the most exciting digital art, films, special effects, fashion and product designs. They have also played a significant role in making technology accessible in a natural and intuitive way through pen tablets, interactive pen displays, digital interface solutions, stylus products and creative companions. These all make it possible for everyone to express their creativity in digital media, whether artists, business executives or people enjoying everyday creativity.
Wacom's interface technologies are offered as OEM solutions to leading manufacturers with Wacom feel IT technologies found integrated into the PC, tablet and smart phone products of many strategic partners around the world.

Employees are planning a walkout on Black Friday, and that's only the beginning.
In the last few months, an unprecedented wave of labor unrest has shaken the retail giant Wal-Mart and its far-reaching supply chain. While the number of employees taking part in walkouts has been limited to the low hundreds, workers and labor activists are mounting pressure and threatening to stage a company-wide strike on Black Friday—the busiest shopping day of the year.
The Black Friday walkout is being organized by the Organization United for Respect at Wal-Mart (OUR Walmart), a group of Wal-Mart employees formed last year that works closely with the United Food and Commercial Workers union, or UFCW. OUR Walmart, which organized walkouts in October, is pushing for better working conditions, benefits, and an end to alleged retaliation by management.
The Black Friday strike would add yet another chapter to a wave of worker protests across Wal-Mart's supply chain. It all began in June when a group of immigrant guest workers at a Wal-Mart seafood supplier in Louisiana walked off their jobs. In September, workers at company warehouses in California and Illinois went on strike. The workers in Illinois eventually won back pay. California workers weren't so lucky—they started striking again last Wednesday. Shortly after those warehouse strikes began, retail workers backed by OUR Walmart started walking out of stores in 12 states.
Indeed, OUR Walmart has framed its strikes and the upcoming Black Friday action as an "unfair labor practice strike"—that is, as a response to the company's alleged retaliation against employees. Workers have already filed a handful of unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board—the independent federal agency that governs labor relations in the private sector. While Wal-Mart employees aren't unionized, they're still covered under the National Labor Relations Act, which protects the right of nonunion workers to go on an unfair labor practice strike without being permanently replaced.
When asked to address those allegations, Fogleman said that the company has "strict policies prohibiting retaliation." He adds: "If someone feels they have been retaliated against, we want to know about it, so we can look into it and take the appropriate actions to resolve the situation," Fogleman says.
OUR Walmart isn't trying to push for union representation for Wal-Mart workers. The campaign is organizing behind a broad set of demands by building a network of allies and trying to pressure the company. "The fundamental difference is this isn't a collective-bargaining organization, it's a rights-based organization. At this point, there's not a battle for a collective-bargaining agreement, there's a battle to change the company," Schlademan said of OUR Walmart. "All the other things that are the heart and soul of the labor movement and of workers' organizing are there, which is collective action, workers pulling their resources together so they have a bigger voice, and utilizing the public to educate and build power to change the company." As the organization builds toward a Black Friday strike, OUR Walmart is partnering with the nonprofits Engage Network and Corporate Action Network to spread the message to Wal-Mart workers and potential allies nationwide. Organizers have set up a website where the general public can access a list of picket lines and "sponsor" strikers by making a donation.

Vice President for University Advancement Gina Sholtis to leave Marquette; Stacy Mitz to serve as interim VP
Gina Sholtis, vice president for university advancement, has resigned from Marquette University, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Dave Lawlor announced today. Sholtis will return to her native Missouri to manage family commitments and care for a loved one.
"On behalf of the entire university leadership team, I want to thank Gina for her service to Marquette," Lawlor said. "During her time here, Gina helped secure several major gifts, including a $5.5 million gift for student scholarships. We wish Gina all the best and ask that the university keep her family in your prayers."
"I am heartbroken to leave you and Marquette, but have to prioritize what is most important to me and to my family," Sholtis wrote in an email to her University Advancement colleagues. "Keep up the great work. I will be watching with interest the success I know you will continue to achieve. Marquette is a special place."

What the Hell Was Rajat Gupta Thinking?
By James G. Wiles
A respected leader of American capitalism just scored an own goal. It couldn't come at a worse time. Conservatives know that one of the challenges we face is that every now and then, something happens which makes the left's narrative of American capitalism -- easily reducible to a sound bite on MSNBC -- look like it's right. Whenever that happens, America's job-creators and investors lose -- big time. It happened after the S&L bust. It happened after Enron and WorldCom. It happened after the Crash of '08 -- and the exposure of what was going on during the Bubble in headliner books by Michael Lewis, Matt Taibbi, and Gretchen Morgenstern, among others. Each time, there was a new wave of federal laws and regulation. It just happened again. At The Nation, they must be high-fiving because the left now has its Exhibit "A." Wednesday, American business titan Rajat K. Gupta was named in a six-count federal indictment, charging him with one count...(Read Full Article)

Q: How to set list view with array? i've problem setting the list view,
When i create the array and i try to put into the list view, return error Cannot resolve constructor ArrayAdapter
this is my array.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.xml_busqueda_proveedores);

ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> arl = (ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>) getIntent().getSerializableExtra("lista");

System.out.println("::: array " + arl);
// This is the array
// ::: array [{1=111, 2= LOCAL }, {1=12, 2= CIUDAD}, {}, {}, {}]

list = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.ListProveedores);

ArrayAdapter<String> adaptador = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, arl);
//Error Cannot resolve constructor ArrayAdapter
list.setAdapter(adaptador);
}

A: Your problem is because you create an ArrayAdapter of String but you give to your adapter an ArrayList of HashMap of two strings.


The saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But what if it ain't broke, yet you want to make it work even better? That's how we feel about our restaurants. Rajinda Pradesh is home to delicious, contemporary Indian food, cooked using traditional methods.
So when it was time to think about how we could improve it, we took the same approach as our chefs do: we worked from scratch.
Group Executive Head Chef James Haywood and his team visited Indian restaurants across the country searching out inspiration.
Some of the new dishes are more unusual – like the crispy spiced calamari or the delicate butternut squash samosas.
The new tandoori section of the menu has been a labour of love, with the marinade, cuts of meat and serving style taking careful deliberation. Succulent lamb chops, perfect butterflied poussin or delicate salmon fillet, cooked in one of our traditional tandoor ovens and served sizzling to your table.
Need something to soothe that spice? There's an exciting new drinks range too. The selection of muddled teas use real fruit purees and green tea to create light, refreshing drinks in flavours ranging from sharp to sweet.
Then there's the children's menu, which we mentioned last week. It was important to us that the dishes offered our younger diners an introduction to Indian food while still being familiar. With that in mind, we've added a gently spiced tomato soup with naan bread for dipping, onion bhaji lollipops and some mild children's curries. The little ones' desserts are a winner too, with creamy Kelly's ice cream and fruit lollipops dipped in white chocolate.
Meanwhile, our design team were working their magic on the menu itself. Rob Buxton, Graphic and Digital Designer, had the job of reimagining how the menu would look and feel.
With the food cooked, tested and tested again, and the beautiful new menus designed, it was time to take some photos that would get guests' mouths watering.
Claire Sutton (whose incredible recipes you will have seen here, here and here, to recommend a few) styled and photographed the whole shoot. It was a cold December day at Woburn Forest as we rattled through the new dishes, sprinkling coriander and sneaking spoonfuls of the dishes when we were finished.
The images down the right hand side of the this page are some of Claire's photos. Hover over them to find out which dish they are.
My insider recommendation is the tandoori poussin – it's a stand-out dish for me as it's smoky and charred but still meltingly tender. It's been months since I got to try it at the photo shoot, so I can't wait to get down to Rajinda Pradesh and taste it again. Let us know in the comments which dishes you're dying to try out.
If you have a break coming up, you can book a table at Rajinda Pradesh in advance.

Have you ever wondered why you revisit the same life lesson again and again sometimes. Well, because life isn't a straight path… it's a curvy path that leads one to a life of joy, happiness, sorrow and anguish at the same time or at different times among numerous other life emotions….and it's okay. Just like happiness and joy.. it's okay to feel sorrow and anguish … along with grief because they are all apart of the spiral that consists of you.
Furthermore, in this spiral, other people come and go for various reasons and in various ways. Some leave because they were only needed for that period of time to teach a life lesson and/or to help you through a life lesson and their loss may or may not be permanent. Some relationships are long term and others just aren't– like ships coming in and out of port. It is just the way it is. It's the beauty of life and death. The spiral will continue to curve around you.. and sometimes other people's spirals will gel in with you or they just won't.
Happy Holidays from one human to another..
