Justin Suzuki, a new friend of The Blur [1. And yours truly.], and one of the powers (and voices) of WombatCast, wrote the following over on our Facebook page.
My group funk is infecting my mind, is there anything you can do?!
Well, Justin, no need to yell, we're right here, but, hey, you came to the right place!
Every once in awhile, a game group will run up against entropy. We, as thinking, breathing, carbon-based life forms should know by now that battling entropy is tough. Couple entropy with familiarity and you'll sometimes get a game as exciting as visiting your in-laws or hearing a story (you've heard a hundred times before) about yourself told by the friend you were with to a mutual friend. Things can digress into a seething pool of boredom and what does boredom due to gamers? Why it breeds erratic behavior and can bleed over into your real life.
That's right. Get out your massive two-handed sword and cut it down. Barring that, try one of these techniques to make your game sessions once more zesty and lemon-fresh.
People get comfortable and when they are comfortable they are complacent. Complacency has no room in a roleplaying session. The job of every GM is to present the characters with conflict. Leave complacency for sofa salesmen.
1. Tired group dynamic? Shake things up a bit. Let the new guy try his hand at running a few sessions. Have everyone swap characters. Get folks out of their bubble. Same guy always playing the tank? Give them the thinker and so on.
2. Stalling campaign? This can happen in one of several ways. The players aren't taking the GM's bait and following a given trail. The players are overwhelmed with choices and don't know what to do, resulting in paralysis. Or, worst of all, the players can feel like they are on the last season of Star Trek: The Next Generation and all the missions seem to be blurring a bit. Put things off-balance. If they are in the middle of a story thread that's going nowhere, kill it. Imagine the characters have been systematically trying to track down The Shadow Broker and suddenly the Chrome Kids make a splash on the scene and brashly catch The Shadow Broker and gain the glory, the credits, and the enmity of the supposed heroes. Nothing gets a group more energetic than being upstaged and not being the center of the universe. This one never fails to get the group's attention. Alternately, kill off an important NPC for no good reason. One, preferably, with a connection to the heroes. Listen to them riff on why and run with it a bit. Including their feedback in the loop can restore group dynamics as the players appreciate being contributors to the world at large.
3. Overplayed rules system? As a longstanding Savage Worlds developer, you'd likely expect me to be running/playing it all the time. I did for many years, but, like everyone else, I suffered a bit of fatigue at one point [3. Especially considering I live/breathe predominately this system during my work hours as well.]. I needed a break and I became more receptive to other game systems and not only ran some, but also encouraged the guys to run some as well. We even take breaks to board game every now and then. This is a great way to get together socially and lets us try out new things. It keeps interest high. As an added bonus for me, it actually spurs creativity as I can see/learn other approaches to some of my own design challenges and rejoin them with renewed vigor.
4. General malaise. This is the hardest one to deal with. Perhaps the group is burned out on gaming altogether and a hiatus is in order. If the game group is around each other a lot already (either professionally or socially), the gaming may be perceived as an obstacle in some way, shape or form. Often, while this may manifest on the superficial level, there are likely issues from the other categories which are really to blame. If your group doesn't get together beyond gaming, perhaps you should slate your next get together at an off-site location where you can grab dinner and talk about the issues. Going to a different place with a different atmosphere can often be good neutral territory and aid people in candidly speaking their minds.
Regardless of the reason, things can be sorted out and all can be set right as rain with the crew again, given open communication, so remember to nurture and encourage everyone to chat about the games. My big tip on this? I've long encouraged feedback at the end of the session to cultivate and refine my skill sets. If you've been in my games at a con, you'll note I take the pulse of folks by asking people if they are having fun. This isn't simple ego-aggrandizement and is something I suggest you try at your next game session whether you've run five games or fifty.

Justice Kennedy's Treason & The Hindenburg Decision.
In retiring while Trump is president and a special counsel investigates whether or not Trump and those close to him colluded with a hostile foreign power to interfere with, and undermine the election and either sow chaos or sow chaos and install a candidate of their choosing, Justice Kennedy has written his name in the book of infamy.
Several possibilities present themselves. First, as a lawyer and a judge, let alone as a man sitting at the pinnacle of political power, it could not have escaped his notice that Trump is insane, and a moron engaging in a host of actions that are all clearly the tactics of either a demagogue or a fascist, with designs on the establishment of a dictatorship centered on a cult of personality.
Secondly, if it did escape his notice then surely Kennedy is non compos mentis which is a polite way of saying he's insane and or, an idiot. If he is insane or a catastrophic idiot, it is not only an indictment of him, but of the court, and the rest of the government who once again failed to do their duty and allowed an incompetent man to hold power.
We believe he acted with intent and foreknowledge. Despite all the hagiography that holds him to be conservative but honorable, the truth is he has written his political obituary as a reactionary content to hand the fate of the nation over to a psychopath, and his slithering gang who now have the chance to shape the court, and the nature of our country for decades if not permanently.
But beyond those crimes in judgment (sic) there is the very real possibility Kennedy had either decided in advance that a sitting president cannot be indicted or forced to testify and can pardon himself, or he has clearly either not considered any of it, or has considered all of it, and decided that given Trump's penchant for demanding loyalty, it means that his pick to replace Kennedy can be as compromised as Trump and the Quisling's want him to be.
That Cory Booker has reasoned that while under the eye of Mueller, Trump must wait to select a nominee, speaks to Booker's common sense if not to his sense of desperation in the face of a potential national catastrophe. It also speaks to the idea that if Trump refuses to wait, then the nominee must accept that he will have to recuse himself should Trump's status come before the court. But Booker is not the one guilty of either a lack of judgement or a commitment to tyranny. Kennedy is and that tells us that the soon to be former justice is guilty of attempting to stage a coup, or he is such a cold blooded detached legal Vulcan that it becomes a distinction without a difference.
Apologists for Kennedy have asked and smugly answered their own question: Why would he retire now? They have concluded that it's because he doesn't want to see his decisions overturned "five minutes after he's gone."
Which if true paints Kennedy as a petulant brat having a temper tantrum as he drops a massive turd in the middle of the party, and heads for the nearest exist. Or, it is that and that he is either a detached bloodless aristocratic reactionary, or all of that and some sort of stealth fascist who believes America will be better off under a dictator.
Consider Ian Millhiser's brief, blunt description in a piece he wrote for Thinkprogress:
"Anthony Kennedy was a horrible justice, and his last decision was his worst"
Millhiser has Kennedy as incompetent, with his legal language being so imprecise that its use as an opportunity by the right to overturn key decisions is inevitable. Marriage equality, and a host of other decisions that liberals believed Kennedy supported are vulnerable, per Millhiser, because Kennedy was a second rate jurist playing on the biggest legal stage possible.
We are less generous than that. Kennedy was a Reagan appointee. He passed the litmus test of the Reaganite reactionaries. He was the reactionary break in case of emergency choice when the Senate told Bork – we don't forget and we don't forgive. Bork was, after all, the man who said yes mein Fuhrer to Nixon, and willingly ordered the Special Prosecutor to shut the fuck up, which of course led to the Senate telling Nixon to get the fuck out of Dodge which in turn led to the Supreme Court telling Nixon to hand over the tapes. Or the sequence went the other way but it's moot – the aristocrats did the job and threw the would-be dictator overboard.
Which brings us back to Kennedy.
If he believes that the institutions of the republic can survive this trainwreck it can only be because he is in effect an idiot savant, and some sort of very high functioning autistic soul incapable of connecting the dots between social cues.
Or, he does not believe the institutions should survive and that what we need is a fascist in The White House presiding over (or in conjunction with) a Quisling Senate, a rubber stamp court and a dead Justice Department. Which, leaves the House as either a weak political vassal or a rebellious but powerless political bit player.
Turning the Court into a whore would, if nothing else, give Trump an escape hatch. He doesn't care about abortion or privacy – except his own – and he doesn't care about the environment or education or anything except himself. His choice of a fascist goon for the court is not ideological but it is personal, and where the two intersect, Trump is happy to oblige the ideologues.
Which again brings us back to Kennedy.
Either he knew and didn't care, or he knew and liked it, or he's so fucking incompetent that if you explained it to him he wouldn't understand.
But again, given the stakes, what difference does it make? He has handed the court to a moronic thug, and a gang of decadent Roman aristocrats.
We are reminded of the hinge of fate when the doddering Paul von Hindenburg caught between his own reactionary aristocratic impulses to crush dissent, and his distaste for the street scum that comprised Hitler's strength, dithered. He tried to play the Nazis off by selecting different combinations of reactionary aristocrats and businessmen to form a coalition and then settled on bringing Hitler and the Nazis into the government to do the one thing they all wanted – stop the Left from gaining power. Believing that Hitler could be contained and controlled; used and then disposed of, they of course engineered their own death and helped pull the rest of the world into the abyss with them.
Anthony Kennedy is a lone political gunman.
He has just shouted sic semper tyrannis and run from the theater.
He has offered Trump the weak remains of the republic on a platter.
Here, he said, no one was using it anyhow; do whatever you want with it.
Yes, we are comparing him to murderers and fascists.
He is a shameful failure as a human being and as a judge and as a citizen.
And now, the war moves to a moment of decision. Does the tyrant prevail or will he be brought down.

Inaugural MFA Advocacy in Action Award Winners Announced
Post on: April 3, 2019
Jamie Lee Cortese
"Collect. Share. Inspire." serves as the vision behind the Advocacy in Action Awards debuted this year by Music for All (MFA). The first set of winners was announced in January.
The award categories—Community Engagement, Decision-Maker Interaction, Fundraising & Sponsorship, Marketing & Promotion, Parent & Booster Involvement, and Recruitment & Retention—are six areas that MFA has pinpointed as requirements for a well-rounded music program, says James P. Stephens, Jr., director of advocacy and educational resources at Music for All.
The awards recognized a wide range of achievements from a variety of music programs, including marching bands.
Rouse High School in Leander, Texas, received a gold award in Fundraising & Sponsorship for its Blitz Boost telethon that made more than $12,000 in one day to supplement the band's budget.
Stephens notes the unique nature of this event: "What's cool about it is we're moving away from … [going] door-to-door selling cheese and sausage and things like that."
Wando High School in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, received a gold award in the Community Engagement category. In its service project, Wando band members collected school supplies, clothing, money, and more to benefit Lowcountry Orphan Relief. Wando also earned a gold in Decision-Maker Interaction for its "March to P.E." initiative, which led to South Carolina passing a bill allowing marching band to count as a physical education credit.
"It took one person to say, 'I wanna do this,' and then … it was really a community of people—[including] band directors of South Carolina and parents of this particular district—[who] came together to pass that bill," Stephens recounts.
By recognizing these programs, giving them press kits as part of their recognition, and posting each awarded project's information online at advocacy.musicforall.org, the Advocacy in Action initiative aims to inspire other music programs to launch long-lasting advocacy efforts.
"Advocacy should be a wellness approach, not an emergency room visit," Stephens says.

Bitcoin Marketing Platform Makes Headway in Kenya Paxful says trading increased by 65%
by BT Correspondent November 21, 2019 November 21, 2019 0
"It's an exciting time in the cryptocurrency industry, and even more so for peer-to-peer trading," says Mr Ray Youssef, CEO & Co-founder of Paxful. [ Photo / Business Today ]
Paxful, a peer-to-peer bitcoin marketplace, recently hit a growth milestone. Paxful now services 3 million wallets with more than 800,000 being added in the last 12 months, predominantly in the USA, Nigeria, and Ghana.
It has also seen 15 million trades cross the platform during the past year, a 65% increase versus the previous time period.
Paxful has seen additional growth in Kenya, with the first week in October seeing Ksh30M in trade volume according to CoinDance, and Khs40M INR in trade volume in India. The company attributes the overall growth in those markets to continued efforts in building a community that focuses on education about peer-to-peer finance and entrepreneurship.
Young people in cryptocurrency
Peer-to-peer trading platforms have given people the ability to perform financial transactions online seamlessly with one another from anywhere in the world.
The technology behind the platforms that power the financial union of people worldwide has reduced the dependency on the traditional banking sector and allows for quicker and cheaper transactions between peers.
Paxful is focused on educating the community about the use cases of peer-to-peer finance and bitcoin, one of the most prominent being remittance. In the next few years, they hope to be the leading platform in the remittance market and aim to be known as a leader in peer-to-peer finance.
"It's an exciting time in the cryptocurrency industry, and even more so for peer-to-peer trading, said Ray Youssef, CEO, and co-founder of Paxful.

"In fact, we just conducted a study which stated that more than half of Millennial and Generation Z respondents are interested in peer-to-peer trading as opposed to simply owning crypto or purchasing on exchanges. This further signals the importance of an interconnected, peer-to-peer economy."
As Paxful continues to grow its user base, it has also continued to display a high level of commitment to customer's security. To protect users from hacks it highly encourages the use of Two-Factor Authentication systems.
Investor Safety
Paxful also prioritizes education, by providing on the ground campus tours at universities in order to help users avoid hacks and safely navigate through the marketplace.
Finally, their Know Your Customer (KYC) program consists of a system in which users are required to upload identity documents if their trades reach a certain volume.

Data harnessed from networked objects that citizens wear or use daily can ease our lives. But it's possible that the uses of Big Data jeopardize citizens, such as in the scenarios we present below.
But linking traffic data, geographic data and economic performance creates another scenario. If the system increases economic performance, is it any wonder it prioritizes higher-paying jobs linked to more expensive suburbs neighboring the city?
Think about paying a few cents for time spent resting on a park bench — a parking meter for people. This obviously discourages the positive attributes of city living for avid park users.
But there are major ethical challenges that center on fears about the privacy of information that is provided. The perception that data will be paternally used in targeted community interventions is also an issue.
At the Indonesian-Australian Digital Forum in Jakarta in January, participants analyzed the sustainability of using citizen reports to collect data on malaria. This information sharing can potentially benefit communities by targeting public health services in areas of need.
As technologies become more sophisticated the designer holds a key role in customizing such concepts for mass use. Additionally, as the pendulum swings from technological solutions towards the citizen's experiences, the variations in different countries' political and cultural systems will become more pronounced. The old adage that "all politics is local" will be reinforced.

Alphabetic Index Morphogroup Index Phylogroup Index
Welcome to the Ways of Enlichenment
Lichen Photogallery
Since the late 1990s, members of the Eastern Lichen Network have been working toward a lichen flora for eastern North America (http://www.nybg.org/bsci/lichens/eln/).
The Ways Lichen Photogallery is the first phase in a parallel flora project for the lichens of western North America, north to the Beaufort Sea, south to Baja, and east to the 105th meridian.
In its present form our gallery contains only photographs, albeit rather a lot of them: 11593 images of 2183 species in 397 genera.
Soon, however, we'll begin the long work of adding other elements – genus accounts, species descriptions, identification keys, range maps – as we ramp up to an on-line flora.
Notwithstanding our focus on western North American lichens, we've opted to include some images of eastern lichens as well. Taking this approach will allow us to contextualize our genus and species accounts for the continent as a whole. More on this as the flora project unfolds.
The Ways Photogallery has four points of entry: (1) Alphabetic Index; (2) Phylogroup Index; (3) Morphogroup Index; and (4) Search.
(1) Alphabetic Index – Here you can find a full list of all the taxa we have images for. You may also browse through genera by clicking on the letters at the top of every page.
(2) Phylogroup Index – Here our lichen images are nested hierarchically like Russian dolls: each genus appears within its family, each family within its order, each order within its class, and each class within its phylum – a great way to get a feel for evolutionary relationships. Many thanks to Hodkinson 2012 for providing the framework for this schema.
(3) Morphogroup Index – Here the genera are grouped by general form, be it hair-like, leaf-like, script-like, or what have you. Clicking on a group name, either above the thumbnails or in the navigation bar at the top of the page, brings up a list of genera. The morphogroups, by the way, have mostly been adapted from Trevor Goward's forthcoming book on forest lichens of Northwest North America. Watch for it.
(4) Search – To skip straight to the images for a particular lichen genus or species, simply enter the name in the search bar at the top of the page.
The thumbnails often show only a small sampling of available images. They are chosen by the website to represent as much variation as possible. Click on the name above the thumbnails to see a larger selection. When you finally arrive at the page for a single species, you will see all available photos.
Gallery images come in two sizes: thumbnails and medium-size. Placing your mouse over a thumbnail image brings up the species name and pertinent notes. Clicking on it enlarges it. (Javascript is required.)
All photos have been vetted by Curtis Björk and/or Trevor Goward, except as otherwise indicated. Vouchers specimens are available for most critical species.
Images are copyrighted to the photographers. If you'd like to use our work, please let us know; more often than not you'll find us happy to oblige.
The Ways of Enlichenment Lichen Photogallery is the brainchild of Curtis Björk and is produced by a set of Perl scripts maintained by Jason Hollinger. Glit$hes are inevitable. Please let us know if you find any: jason@waysofenlichenment.net.
Special thanks to Richard Droker, Chris Parrish and Troy McMullin for generously allowing us to post some of their beautiful images. Thanks also to the good people at University of British Columbia Beaty Biodiversity Museum for their support.

There are times where we need to "activate" a form control based on the value of another control.
For example, let's say a user has multiple options, and if he marks the second option, we want to display an additional text input, where he's required to add a reason.
This is the second part of the tutorial on how to upload an image to Amazon S3. You can find the first part here. In this article, we will take a look at the Angular Part.
Basically, a service worker intercepts all outgoing http requests sent by your application on the browser. You can choose which request to respond to by using a set of rules (policies) to guide the service worker on how to handle different requests.
The Angular router is a marvel of software engineering. From handling application navigation to enforcing route guards and facilitating lazy loading of modules, Angular's router is indispensable for most applications. However, for many developers, the internal workings of the router remain a mystery. This series aims to change that, by giving you, the developer, a deeper understanding of the router.
In this quick tutorial, we go over how to make column size customizable using the Angular 2 framework, the jQuery library, and a little HTML and CSS.


The Mayan Riviera is lined with eco-chic hotels with beachfront restaurants. Playa Azul achieves both with the rustic decor and spare furnishing and is situated in the center of the Tulum beach which makes its location ideal. Our room had an open terrace with a great view of the sea. The cabanas on the beach provided ample shade, and excellent bar service, and made napping in the afternoons a required time in our schedule.
Believe the hype about Hartwood. Everything we ordered was delicious. The pulled pork was tender and deliciously spiced. For dessert I had their home-made sweet corn ice-cream which was just perfect for me, as it brought back fond childhood memories. To be sure of getting a table arrive before they open and line up - otherwise you risk being turned away. Another foodie favorite is El Tabano. The restaurant serves tasty and spicy traditional Mexican fare minus the long line of people.
Get up at the crack of dawn and drive to Chichen Itza. If you get there early enough you will avoid the worst of the busloads of tourists that swarm daily to this historical site and the midday heat. The ancient city was founded around 400 AD and was one of the greatest Mayan centers of the Yucatan Peninsula. The site is huge with multiple temples, pyramids and marketplaces that give a real insight into the power and sophistication of the Mayan civilization. The massive Kukulkan Pyramid has been partially restored, allowing visitors to see how it would have looked when in use as well as the more tumbledown state in which it was found. It is deservedly one of the most iconic images associated with the Yucatan and Mexico.
La Llorona is a treasure trove full of hand-embroidered fabrics, clothing and accessories sourced from all over Mexico and Guatemala. There was so much to choose from I could have stayed there for hours going through every pile of fabrics. I was in print heaven.
Snorkeling through Dos Ojos Cenote is a fun activity to do while you're in Tulum. It is called Two Eyes because of the two large circular cenotes with cave systems underneath. On a sunny day you can clearly see the rock formations of the underwater cave. You'll need a guide and a flash light swimming through the labyrinth of tunnels while carefully avoiding stalactites, stalagmites and other snorkelers.
I love waking and sleeping to the sound of the waves and feeling the sea breeze that wafted through our balcony. Tulum is a perfect place to unwind and decompress. I can't wait to go back.

Home » Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Clothing
The traditional clothing worn in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa varies according to the area of the region. The following outfits are generally worn in the area.
Khat partug
The traditional clothing for the lower region is the khat partug which is a shalwar kameez combination and is worn by men and women. The khat (also called khattaki or in Marwat Pashtu, kamis) is the shirt which fits closely to the body to the waist and then flares out, either to the knees, or in the case of women, to the ankles. The khat worn by women can be elaborately embroidered at the neck with needle work.
The partug (also called pardig) is a loose shalwar which has many folds and is loosely brought together at the ankles. Men also wear a turban and a scarf (called patkai), while women wear a head scarf.
Firaq partug
The female khat is also known as the firaq which forms the firaq partug outfit. The female khat is of two types : the jalana khat and the giradana khat. The jalana khat is worn by unmarried women which is loose and traditionally of print design. The giradana khat is worn by married women and is of dark colours, especially red. The female khat has many pleats. The styles are of the type also worn in Afghanistan.
Perahan tunban
Perahan tunban is male dress worn in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and eastern Afghanistan. The perahan tunban version of the shalwar kameez is made up of the perahan (the top) which is wide and loose with the sleeves also worn loose and pendent from the arms. The perahan worn in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa generally falls to the knees. The traditional perahan buttons on either shoulder, is collarless and is meant to be loose. Further, the traditional perahan is wide but fits closer to the body down to the waist and then is loose and full down to the knees (thereby flaring out). However, modern versions open to the front.
The tunban (lower garment) is worn loose and hanging. Some versions of the tunban have the ample folds gathered into plaits at the lower part of the legs, below the knees to the ankles and the loose part above overhangs in loops. The tunban therefore uses a lot of material so that it gathers around the waist and folds around the legs. Modern versions are less voluminous.

In Marvel's Spider-Man, launching exclusively on PS4 tomorrow, fans will experience an action-packed narrative that lives up to the legacy of the character's rich history while traversing an expansive open-world Marvel's New York using a suite of tightly tuned gameplay mechanics. And, of course, a stunning graphical presentation crafted by the maestros at Insomniac Games.
Whether you're patrolling the streets of Manhattan, swinging at breakneck speeds across the city, scaling the tallest building you can find, or just mingling with citizens and being a friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, there's a lot to appreciate. Insomniac's attention to detail brings environments to life, while every move in Spidey's repertoire feels both fluid and powerful.
As we quickly approach 7th September, we're thrilled to have had the chance to learn more about the advanced technology behind Marvel's Spider-Man on PlayStation 4. Here is an edited transcript of our interview with Insomniac's Mike Fitzgerald, Director of Core, and Al Hastings, Chief Architect.
PlayStation.Blog: The open-world you've built here is stunning — and it's impressive to see how fluidly it renders while Spidey swings through it at breakneck speeds. How did you accomplish this from a technical perspective?
Mike Fitzgerald: Like many open-world games, we have to carefully parcel up our world up into small sections, since the whole island of Manhattan would be impossible to fit into the PS4's memory at one time.
There are approximately 800 square tiles making up our version of Marvel's New York, each 128 meters square, making the city several times larger than what we built for Sunset Overdrive.
As you swing through it, we're constantly unloading tiles behind you as well as loading tiles ahead of you—seamlessly transitioning so you're always exposed to the highest detail level. And when Spider-Man is really pushing his top speed, we're loading about one new tile every second.
There's a technical term — temporal injection — that Insomniac has used to great effect in Ratchet & Clank and now in Marvel's Spider-Man. What is temporal injection, and how have you modified its implementation between your last PS4 Pro project and this one?
Temporal injection is a technique we use to create a full 4K image on the PS4 Pro without rendering every pixel on every single frame. We render slightly more than half the pixels, then "inject" them into a full-sized 4K image. By slightly jittering the locations of the rendered pixels from frame to frame, we can reconstruct a very accurate anti-aliased full 4K image over a handful of frames. There are other teams using similar techniques, but with slight variations in the implementation.
Since Ratchet & Clank, we've made dozens of refinements to the algorithm. These serve both to make it run faster and to minimize its shortcomings, like the tendency to make the final 4k image slightly softer than it ought to be.
One of the first things a Spider-Man game needs to get right is the swinging. How did Insomniac approach this development challenge? Can you describe the physics that go into the perfect Spidey swing?
Part of the fun of game development is to give the player the feel of something like swinging between buildings in Manhattan without actually making them do it.
This extends to the physics behind it as well – if we perfectly simulated the dynamics of a person hanging from a rope on 34th Street, the player wouldn't feel much like a Super Hero. But with neat effects like camera movement, field of view, and careful character animation, we can give the feel of being Spider-Man in an even more convincing way.
There are some nods to realism to make it more convincing, however. For example, every web you shoot to swing from needs to be anchored to an attachment point on the edge of a building or tree. Every piece of architecture in the city is tagged with places webs can attach, and as you swing around, we find the perfect swing points to preserve your momentum and keep you flying towards your destination.
What resolution does Marvel's Spider-Man render at on PS4 Pro when connected to a 4K display? How does it render when connected to a 1080p display?
On a PS4 Pro, the game outputs to the TV at 4K. Internally, most of the frame is rendered to a 2816×1584 or 2560×1440 image (in expensive situations), then projected over time into the master output 4K image using the "temporal injection" technique mentioned above to accurately anti-alias the picture. If you've got a PS4 Pro attached to a 4K TV, this is going to be a beautiful way to show it off.
On a base PS4 or when connected to a 1080p display, the internal representation is 1920×1080 to perfectly match the TV's expected input.
What details can you share about the HDR implementation for displays that support it? Any details players should watch for when playing with HDR enabled?
We've tried to find the right balance with our HDR implementation such that the medium tones and dark tones in the image look the same as they would in non-HDR, but the brightest parts of the image really pop.
Swinging around the city at night or in the rain shows off HDR nicely—the bright lights of the city really stand out against the darker background. As you progress through the game and meet up with some of the more colorful villains Spidey needs to contend with, there are some gorgeous night scenes with bright effects—but you'll have to play the game to see what I mean.
Anything else players should keep their eyes peeled for while playing the game?
It's immensely fun to swing at top speed around the city, way above the ground. But every once in a while, just go for a walk at street level and take in some of the little details that Insomniac's amazing design and environment teams have built into our Manhattan. There are lots of little shout-outs to other Marvel characters, iconic pieces of New York City architecture to climb around, and friends to take selfies with in Times Square.
When you're done on the ground, run to the top of the tallest building you can find, perch at its highest point, listen to the murmur of the city, and take in the vista around you—especially at sunset. Give your always-busy Super Hero a quick Zen moment before jumping back into crime-fighting.
Do you have any advice for developers who are considering developing for PS4 and PS4 Pro?
Insomniac has always had a hardware-centric engine development approach. If you know the strengths of the hardware you're developing for, and you take advantage of those strengths as specifically as possible, you can really deliver something of stunning technical quality.
For us on PS4 and PS4 Pro, this meant carefully structuring our memory layout to optimize data flow between the CPU and GPU, using unique features of the GPU hardware in our shader code, carefully scheduling different processes on different cores of the CPU, and much, much more. Getting to develop this title for only the PS4 family of consoles let us be incredibly ambitious with where we could push our technology.
If you want to deliver the best product you can, dig into the documentation, use the profiling tools, think about the quirky bits of the PS4 design, and figure out how your game can take advantage of them.
The story in the game is fantastic, and the cutscenes are full of detail—at times it feels like watching a Marvel movie. How did you need to push your technology to get to this point?
Marvel's Spider-Man has a notably more realistic art style than our last PS4 title, Ratchet & Clank, which had a cartoon-like look and feel. Beyond changing our lighting model to more accurately reflect physical materials, we also developed specific improvements to hair, eye, and skin rendering systems.
In the animation realm, we added support for large-scale destruction, which our artists put to good use to create some epic Super Hero-scale interactions. Our facial animation system can now accurately model the response of characters' skin as they speak and emote, and it can represent the individual movement of each of the approximately 60,000 vertices in their faces.
Every character has an extreme-quality model that's used for close-ups, cutscenes, and scripted action sequences, and we built up the motion- and facial-capture processes we use for those moments to bring out the details of our actors' performances. The final foe you face in the game is rendered with more than one million polygons—more detail than we've ever had for a single character in a game before!
Can't wait till tomorrow. Really reminds me of a Sucker Punch game, being an exclusive in that type of genre. It looks great and like a lot of fun. Hope they continue with these open world brawler kind of games if not for Ratchet and Clank.
I've had a keen eye on this game right through development and have to say what you have delivered looks better than I imagined. Really can't wait to play it.
Also, really hope everything you've learned from developing for the PS4/PS4 Pro so far culminates in a Resistance game that makes heads 'asplode!
Can't wait to play this, looks like Sony and PlayStation are giving us another masterpiece this year. Enjoy everyone its gonna be a busy weekend no doubt about it..
Already playing my version since this morning and loving it so far. Playing in 4K and the detail really pops.
Only issue I've seen is the interesting internal window method that shows a different scene behind each pane, but I've noticed on a lot of buildings that windows paired together that are supposedly 'one room' are showing two different scenes behind each pane.
Their Sunset Overdrive were awesome in 8 player co-op and were a overkill crazy mayhem. With so much going on the screen at the same time, it still never crashes or slowdown.
Co-op is not really suited for a Spider-Man game, but Insomniac is one of the best at co-op games which were also shown in Resistance 2, 8 player co-op on PS3.
Resistance: Fall of Man also had co-op.
Can you give me a game key for my youtube channel please.

How Much Does It Cost to Patent a Product?
It's important to understand the costs of filing a patent, and why you should consult an attorney for the process.5 min read
It's important to understand the costs of filing a patent, and why you should consult an attorney for the process. There are two ways to patent an idea. The first is to write and file your own patent, which costs about $900 in fees to the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The second way is to hire an attorney or patent agent to write and process the forms for you. The attorney fees typically cost between $5,000 to $10,000.
The most common type of patents are utility patents, and most of the cost comes from attorney fees for preparing the application. Most people find it worth the expense, as the patent application process is detailed and lengthy.
The Cost of Patenting an Idea
To even patent an invention, you must have a unique idea or technology that doesn't overlap with earlier patents. Furthermore, the law keeps getting more complicated as to what makes an invention unique.
The technology of the invention makes a big difference in the final cost of the patent. Other factors include:
The invention's marketability
What you want to do with the patent
Geographical application of the patent
If the patent is, in fact, marketable, you should expect to pay more to file the patent, since you want to make sure the result of the application is a strong patent.
In determining costs, the type of invention and its complexity are the most important considerations. Most inventions from independent inventors are relatively simple to slightly complex. Electronic devices tend to be moderately to relatively complex. Software inventions are usually highly complex and often require a high-level of technical detail in the patent application.
In the biotechnology and software sectors, most patent ideas are not tangible. Therefore, start-ups in these industries pay around twice as much to apply for patents for their entire portfolio.
Unfortunately, in all sectors, only 3 percent of patents generate more revenue than the cost to get the patent. This statistic should make people and businesses cautious about what they decide to try to patent.
Non-Provisional Patent Application
These applications are necessary to receive a patent. The attorney fees for a non-provisional patent application can range from $5,000 to upwards of $15,000.
When patenting intellectual property, a person or company should budget more for the cost of the application. It's necessary to get broad patent protection or you could risk losing funding from investors.
Patent applications are expensive, and one place where people and businesses try to cut costs is to skip the patent search. This integral step should never be skipped because it lets the applicant know whether it's a good idea to pursue a patent.
A patent search aims to reach an 80 percent confidence threshold. It is usually cost prohibitive to reach a higher confidence threshold. To reach near certainty could cost millions of dollars. Also, applications filed within the last 18 months are required by law to be kept secret so they can't be found regardless.
Patent attorneys are able to find prior patents and pending applications, which are difficult for someone to find on their own. You may want to consider completing a simple patent search first, but rely on a patent attorney to do a professional search. It's worth the money to receive a written analysis from a patent attorney.
The cost of a professional patent search ranges from $1,000 to $3,000 depending on:
How much analysis you want
How complex your invention is
Amount of prior art discovered
This search could decide the rest of the patent process, but it could also show that there isn't much opportunity to receive a patent to suit your needs. Finding out this information early can save thousands of dollars.
Provisional Patent Applications
To save costs, inventors can file a provisional patent application. These types of applications must disclose the entire invention, but this type of application is easier to prepare due to reduced formalities. The attorney fees for a provisional patent application usually cost about $2,000 with a filing fee of about $130. You should also expect to pay about $100 per page for drawings.
The complexity of the invention and the technology all contribute to the final cost of a provisional patent application. For computer or software technology, the cost will be closer to $6,000 for the attorney fees. These types of applications need much more information to describe the architecture, algorithms, and sub-routines involved in the technology.
If you decide to pursue a provisional patent application, watch out for these three things:
Make sure the application meets the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 112. These requirements include describing the components, connections, and operation of the invention.
Avoid using restrictive words in your written description like "essential," "must," or "necessary."
Your descriptions should be accurate but broad. Use generic terms when possible such as "fastener" as opposed to "nail."
Estimated Patent Cost
The attorney fees for a simple invention such as an electrical switch, paper clip, coat hanger, diapers, earmuffs, or ice-cube tray range from $5,000 to $7,000. A patent search with opinion is around $1,000.
The attorney fees for a relatively simple invention such as an umbrella or board game range from $7,000 to $8,500 with costs for a patent search with opinion at around $1,250.
For a minimally complex invention such as a camera, lawn mower, or power hand tool, the attorney costs are between $8,500 to $10,000 with the patent search with opinion costing closer to $1,500.
A moderately complex invention includes cell phones and riding lawn mowers with the attorney fees ranging from $10,000 to $12,000. The patent search with opinion ranges from $1,500 to $1,750.
The attorney fees for a relatively complex invention can cost from $12,000 to $14,000 with a patent search and opinion costing as much as $2,000. An example of this type of invention includes a shock absorbing prosthetic device.
Highly complex inventions include software, business methods, and automated systems. These fees start at $16,000. The patent search with attorney opinion ranges from $2,500 to $3,000.

These floating islands consist mainly of soil, vegetation, decomposing organic matter and have a spongy texture. When water levels get low enough during the dry season, the roots can touch the bottom of the lake to absorb nutrients.

Vast amounts of longitudinal data accumulating in electronic health information systems present an untapped opportunity to improve medical screening and diagnosis. The Intelligent Histories project works towards realizing the vision of Predictive Medicine by developing new ways of using commonly available electronic medical information to predict people's future medical risks, helping doctors choose preventive interventions and improve medical care.
Working from large de-identified medical research databases, we have developed advanced Bayesian models, known as Intelligent Histories, that are capable of predicting a patient's risk of receiving certain future diagnoses, up to years in advance, based solely on the patient's past diagnostic history.
With increasing amounts of clinical and genetic data becoming available, this work has the potential to bring closer the vision of Predictive Medicine, in which vast quantities of information are used to predict individuals' future medical risks in order to improve medical care and diagnosis.
Intelligent Histories models are designed to serve as the basis for a clinical decision support system capable of detecting long-term indicators of health risks, alerting a patient's doctor when a significant risk is identified.
The central part of this prototype system is the risk-visualization environment, known as a Risk Gel, which provides clinicians with instant overviews of longitudinal medical histories and related risk profiles at the point of care. In conjunction with alerts for high-risk patients, this visualization enables clinicians to rapidly review and act on all available historical information by identifying important risk factors and long-term trends.

Renault Williams F1 90s High-Top Sneakers
Hi, I'm interested in purchasing "Renault Williams F1 90s High-Top Sneakers". Could you please provide more information about the piece?
Home › Vintage Teamwear › Renault Williams F1 90s High-Top Sneakers
Back in the 90s, Williams was the dominating name in the F1 kingdom. Their presence was not only felt in the races but also in the paddocks; where they donned some of the most impressive teamwear. One piece in particular were the high-top sneakers that Williams made for their drivers and team.
These holy-grail sneakers feature a stylish composition of the team's sponsors and partners; Canon and Renault. The colorway matches the team's identity at the time and these sneakers are as rare as they get. Sneakers such as this one came in the high and low-top variant, but the high-top ones remain an underground icon and holy-grail to this day.
These sneakers are in size 41 EU and they are in worn condition as they are now over 25 years old. There are no major flaws in the shoe, no scratches, no rips, just normal signs of age and the sole of the right shoe has a minor detachment. However, we do not recommend wearing these shoes as they are now a collector's item.

House passes $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill dubbed HEROES Act
Lauren Frias May. 16, 2020, 11:29 AM
The House passed a $US484 interim coronavirus relief bill that will pay for testing and offer help to small businesses and medical providers. Win McNamee/Getty Images
The House passed a $US3 trillion coronavirus bailout, dubbed the HEROES Act, with a 208-199 vote.
Spanning 1,815 pages, the bill outlines a list of priorities, including another round of $US1,200 stimulus checks, a raise for essential workers, and increased health insurance coverage.
Despite passage in the House, it is not likely to be backed by Senate Republicans, who have expressed disapproval of the bill.
During its unveiling by House Democrats earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called the bill a "big laundry list of pet priorities" that has "no chance of becoming law."
However, being signed into law is not entirely the mission of the HEROES Act.
"Instead, its passage was meant for Democrats to demonstrate their priorities and signal what they will fight for in a later bipartisan bill that could pass in June," Business Insider's Kimberly Leonard reported.
Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
The House passed a second $US3 trillion bill aimed at providing relief and support to those impacted by the coronavirus pandemic on Friday.
The bill, known as the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act, or the HEROES Act, follows the first coronavirus bailout signed into law in late March with bipartisan support, the CARES Act.
The rescue package was approved with a vote of 208 to 199, but it is unlikely to pass in the GOP-controlled Senate.
When House Democrats unveiled the HEROES Act earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called the bill a "big laundry list of pet priorities" that has "no chance of becoming law."
Spanning 1,815 pages, the $US3 trillion bailout package is not poised to become law. "Instead, its passage was meant for Democrats to demonstrate their priorities and signal what they will fight for in a later bipartisan bill that could pass in June," Business Insider's Kimberly Leonard reported.
The bill includes a list of priorities, including another round of $US1,200 stimulus checks, a raise for essential workers, increased health insurance coverage, and nearly $US1 trillion in financial aid to local and state governments.

Medication is given to almost every patient in hospital and can be the most important part of treatment. However, medication is not without risk and occasionally medications can cause harm.
Some harm caused by medicines is due to errors that are preventable.
What is happening with Medication Safety in Western Sydney Local Health District?
Harm associated with medication remains the second most common type of incident in hospitals, as reported by the Clinical Excellence Commission. Health services actively review medication safety.
In Western Sydney Local Health District we had 3.1 reported medication errors per 1,000 bed days* in 2015. This is an increase from 2014 data. The increase appears to be related to an increase in hospital staff reporting medication incidents, in line with an increase in reported incidents overall. Staff are encouraged to report all incidents which are rated by severity to help identify ways to improve medication safety . Staff awareness in reporting incidents is continually encouraged.
What type of injury do people have as a result of medication errors?
The vast majority of medication errors result in no injury. A minor injury may result, for example, in a patient needing an increased level of monitoring. Even if incidents result in minor injury, managers and staff still take any errors very seriously, reviewing the actions around the incident and making improvements as a result.
Very few incidents result in permanent harm to the patient, as can be seen from the following graph. In the case of serious injury, a thorough investigation is made.

This request get error with Response:  {"error":"Invalid data on the order for property: packageId. Package (835) requires a preset configuration.","code":"SoftLayer_Exception_Order_InvalidData"}
The request is that I used package '46' to upgrade, but Softlayer return error about package '835'. What is that meaning?

A: try adding the property "presetId" in your request with a value = 0, also the packageId set it to 0. e.g.
