15 Cool PS4 Tricks You Should Know

The Sony PlayStation 4 is one of the most powerful gaming consoles of the current generation. Over the years, Sony has brought out the PS4 Slim variant, and the far more powerful PS4 Pro version, which has made sure that the PS4's foothold in the gaming console market remains strong. While the PS4 is a great machine, its user interface with its complicated menus do conceal some great productive options underneath. Most people prefer to use the system just as it is, without knowing how to make the most out of the PS4 and further improve their overall gaming experience.Well, that's where we come in. Here are 15 cool PS4 tips and tricks that will definitely enhance your PlayStation 4 experience:
1. Use your Smartphone As Keyboard for PS4
Entering text on the PS4 can rather be a hassle, whether you are using the normal buttons or the motion controlled typing. Wouldn't you love it if you could type using the on-screen keyboard on your smartphone? Well, thanks to the PlayStation App for your smartphones, you can. To do so, follow the steps below:
Go to your PlayStation's Settings menu, and tap on "PlayStation App Connection Settings". After that, tap on "Add Device".
Here, you'll be presented with a Registration Code. Note that code down somewhere, since we'll be using it later on.
Download the PlayStation app for your iOS or Android device, and Sign In to it using your PlayStation account. Make sure that it's the same account with which you are logged in to the PS4.
Once you've successfully logged in, tap on the "Connect to PS4" option in the bottom bar.
Tap on the "Second Screen" option. You'll be presented with a list of PS4 machines that are logged in with you PlayStation ID. Tap on the PS4 that you wish to control.
Enter the Registration Code that you got from your PS4 earlier on in the entry box provided, and tap on "Register". Once you've successfully registered, you'll be connected with your PS4.
You'll now be presented with a simple navigation menu, that represents the touchpad, and has buttons for various other navigation related tasks. Now, on the PS4, whenever you have to input some text, open the app on your mobile, and tap on the "keyboard icon" on the top. You'll be presented with a text input box where you can type in with the help of your on-screen keyboard like you normally do.
2. Pre-Load Your Purchased Games
Who likes waiting, right? So there's this awesome game for the PS4 that you just pre-ordered, and can't wait to play it. But first there are the tons of game data to be downloaded, and luckily for you, you don't have to wait to download it. The PlayStation Store allows user's to download the pre-ordered game's data files 4 days before the actual launch, from the PlayStation Store only. Yes, you can't play the game until it has been released, but then again, once it is, you won't have to wait.
How to download it
3. Improve Battery of DualShock 4 Controller
Everyone mostly uses their DualShock 4 Controller in the wireless mode. Now what's the one thing that any user of a wireless device desires the most? Battery backup! Has it ever happened to you that you're engrossed in a gaming session and suddenly a notification pops up saying that your controller's battery is low? Well, you can save up some juice of your controller by dimming the controller light, by following the steps below.
Open the PlayStation's Settings menu, and head over to the "Devices" option. Once there, open the "Controllers" option.
Now head over to the "Brightness of DUALSHOCK 4 Light Bar" option and tap on it to reveal the side menu for selecting the light profile. You can choose between Bright, Medium and Dim. Select your preferred choice from here.
Also, you've probably noticed that your DualShock 4 Controller has an inbuilt speaker as well for various sounds. It might happen that you might just get taken aback by the sound coming from there, or probably you just wanna silence it down completely. Well, either way, you can alter the controller's speaker volume. Simply go to the "Volume Control (Speaker for Controller)" option in the same menu and change the volume to suit your liking.
4. Modify Your PS4's Look with Themes
Aren't you bored of the stock blue panel in the background of your PS4? Or maybe the icons seem to simple for you? Well, don't worry, as powerful a machine the PS4 is, it is quite customizable as well. You can change the look of the interface with the help of themes. To do so, follow the steps below.
Open the PlayStation's Settings menu and head over to "Themes". Once there, open the "Select Theme" option.
From here, you can select the Theme of your choice. Furthermore, if you don't like any theme presented to you, you can ever purchase themes from the PlayStation Store.
If you'd like to change the way how the PS4 hardware looks, you should take a look at our list of the best PS4 skins.
5. Get PS Plus Games Without Downloading Them
The PlayStation Plus membership for the PS4 offers tons of benefits to its members when compared to the normal PS4 users. Online Multiplayer, Exclusive Discounts, Online Game Saves and Access to Betas are some of the added features that the PS Plus offers its members. Amongst all these features, there's another feature that the PS Plus users are really fond of, and that is that each month there's a full game available for free to the PS Plus users. Now, you can avail this game for free only when you download it during that specific month, otherwise the offer will be gone. But what if you wanted to own the game, but at the time of it being on offer, you ran out of your data pack? Well, you can avail the game without even downloading it.
To do so, at the game's option, simply tap on "Add to Library" and voila, you'll own the game. You can now download it whenever you feel like, even after months of the offer period. Nifty, isn't it?
6. Take Screenshots Quicker
The Share button on your DualShock 4 can be used to take screenshots and record your gameplay with the ease of a single button. By default, if you hold the Share button, you can take a screenshot that will be saved to your PS4. But wouldn't it be better to change it to a single tap, saving you a few seconds of your valuable gaming experience? Well, actually you can do that, by following the steps below:
Tap on the SHARE button on your DualShock Controller to reveal the Share Menu. Select the "Sharing and Broadcast Settings" option from there. Now, head over to the "SHARE Control Button Type" option.
Once there, you'll be presented with options to select whether the Standard Type or Easy Screenshot Type. Simply select the Easy Screenshot type to switch to using a single press of the SHARE Button to click screenshots.
7. Make The Best of PS4's Rest Mode
Your PS4 comes with a standby mode, or as Sony likes to call it – Rest Mode. In this mode, the system is basically on standby, and is made to operate at a lower power usage. Even so, you can further modify this mode to charge your controllers or update your games while using less power. To do so, follow the steps given below:
Head over to the PlayStation's Settings menu and select the "Power Save Settings" option. Once there, select the "Set Features Available in Rest Mode".
You can now modify various aspects of the PS4's Rest Mode. You can set the option to "Supply Power to USB Ports" in order to charge your controllers while the system is on standby. Also, you can make the "PS4 Stay Connected to the Internet", in order to update games in the background. Furthermore, if you have the PlayStation App on your smartphone, you can use it to wake the PS4 by selecting the "Enable Turning On PS4 from Network" option. Lastly, there's the option to "Keep Application Suspended", which basically hibernates the game in its current mode and puts the PS4 on rest mode. Once you wake the PS4 and start the game, it will resume from the previous state only, as opposed to restarting by default.
8. Alternative Ways to Turn On The PS4
While anyone can turn on the PS4 by pressing the power button on their PS4, the PS4 does come with alternative methods to turn the device on as well. In case your DualShock 4 Controller has been paired with the system in the past, you can power on the PS4 by simply tapping on the PS Button on the Dualshock 4 Controller to wake the PS4.
Alternatively, if your TV supports HDMI Device Link, you can turn its respective option in the PS4 to turn the device on automatically whenever you turn on your TV. To do so, simply head over to the PlayStation's Settings and go to "System". From there, check the box next to "Enable HDMI Device Link".
9. Livestream Gamplay Videos In Real Time
Recording and uploading your gameplay videos online is one way of sharing your achievements, but wouldn't it be better if you could do it in real-time? Well, thanks to the PS4's Broadcast option, you can. The PlayStation has in-built support for Twitch, YouTube and Dailymotion. To livestream gameplay in real time from your PS4, follow the steps below:
Press the SHARE button on your controller to open the Share Menu. From there, select the "Broadcast Gameplay" option. You'll be presented with a list of Live Broadcasting Services to choose from. Select the one according to your choice.
Once selected, you'll be asked to enter your credentials and log in. Thereafter, you can directly livestream your gameplay in real-time. You can even connect a mic to your PS4 or the DualShock 4 and do live commentatory as well.
10. Direct All Audio to the Controller's Audio Port
Obviously you must be aware of the fact that your DualShock 4 comes equipped with a 3.5 mm jack for connecting earphones/headphones directly to the controller. While this sounds good, by default you can only direct the chat audio to the earphones connected to this audio port, effectively turning it into a chat headset only. In case you would like to alter this and direct all the audio to the said port, you can do so by following the steps below:
Go to the PlayStation Settings and open the "Devices" option. Once there, select the "Audio Devices" option.
Now, head over to the "Output to Headphones" option. By default it'd be set to "Chat Audio". Tap on it and select "All Audio" from the sidebar choice menu.
11. Use Voice Commands on PS4
Much like the Microsoft Xbox One's Kinect, the PS4 can also accept voice commands. However, unlike the Xbox One that requires a Kinect in order to be able to use voice commands, you can control your PS4 with your voice by simply connecting an earphone/headphone with a mic to the DualShock 4 Controller. To use voice commands, do the following:
Go to the PlayStation Settings page and head over to the "System" option. Once there, select the "Voice Operation Settings".
You can now change the settings related to the Voice Commands. Make sure you have the box checked next to "Operate PS4 with Voice". After that, you can pass on commands to the PS4 using your voice. Just say "PlayStation" followed by your command to control the PS4. You can use commands such as home screen, take a screenshot, open Netflix, etc.
12. Transfer Save Game Data To USB Drive or Cloud
We generally prefer buying the consoles that our friends buy, so that multiplayer gaming with friends is always an option (Thank you Sony for blocking cross-platform gaming). But what if you're going to a friend's place to play local multiplayer on their system, but would want to use your save files for story continuation in co-op, or simply make use of the items you unlocked on your system. Either way, you're gonna need your save files for that. To carry your save files with you wherever you go, you could either store your save files on a USB pen drive or you could store them on a cloud storage.To do so, follow the steps below:
Note: Using the cloud storage option to save files in the PS4 requires PS Plus Membership.
Open up PlayStation Settings and go to the "Application Saved Data Management" option.
From here, you have options to manage your saved data in the System Storage, Online Storage or on the USB Storage. To transfer the data, select the "Saved Data in System Storage" option, and then select the "Copy to USB Storage Device".
And that's it. To transfer these save files to another PS4, simply connect the same USB to that system, follow the above steps, and select "Saved Data on USB Storage Device" and then transfer it to the system by selecting the "Copy to System Storage" option.
13. Set Your Status as Offline
Are you one of those players that are annoyed by friends or fellow online partners constantly messaging you while you're trying to enjoy your game? Well, you can't entirely stop them, but you could appear offline so that your friends don't message you in the first place. To do so, follow the steps below:
On the PS4's Homescreen, go to the "Profile" option.
Once in this option, click on the "Set Online Status" option. A drop-down option will appear. From there, select the "Appear Offline" option.
And that's it, you will now appear offline to all your added friends on the PlayStation Network. Even so, they would have gotten a notification when you initially logged in. If you want to get rid of that as well, simply press the OPTIONS button on your DualShock 4 Controller at the time of logging in and select "Log in and Appear Offline", and you'll be logged into your system as 'offline' from the get-go.
14. Use Remote Play On PC/Mac
Wouldn't you love to carry your gaming experience with you wherever you go? Well actually, you can. You can Remote Play on your PS4 by connecting it to your PC or Mac and then playing it with the help of a DualShock 4 Controller connected to the same. For this, you will need the PS4 Remote Play App for Windows and macOS that you can download from here.
Then, you can go to PlayStation Settings and set up Remote Play from the "Remote Play Connection Settings" option. For detailed steps, you can follow our detailed guide here.
15. Boost Mode For PS4 Pro
While the PS4 and PS4 Slim were very powerful consoles themselves, the PS4 Pro brought an overclocked processor and a much more powerful GPU to the table, allowing for an improved gameplay experience. All the games released after the release of PS4 Pro have been designed to make greater use of the core power of the PS4 Pro. But what about the games that were designed keeping the PS4 only in mind? Well, the PS4 Pro comes with a Boost Mode to optimize older games to work better with the PS4 Pro, resulting in better framerates and improved overall gameplay experience.
To enable the Boost Mode, go to the PlayStation Settings, browse to "System" and select "Boost Mode" to enable/disable it.

UK fails on marine conservation
Seas at Risk member, the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) has accused the government of a complete lack of ambition to preserve the seas. Out of a recommended 127 marine conservation zones in UK waters, the government has declared only 31 will be protected by the end of next year, none of which will have all activities banned.
Government advisors have highlighted 127 zones in need of protection through a multi million pound consultation involving NGOS, local communities and marine industries. The zones would have differing levels of protection, to create a comprehensive network of marine protected areas to improve the health of Britain's seas.
Out of the recommended 127, 59 sites are considered to be high risk. MCS has called for these 59 to be designated immediately, and the rest to be designated by the end of 2014.
MCS says the Government has failed to set out a detailed roadmap for how it intends to deliver its international commitment to establishing an Ecologically Coherent Network and the designation of just 31 sites does not constitute a network. They accuse the coalition government of demonstrating little care for the damage currently being done to the seabed around England's coast.

→ Is "Heads-Up" Technology Safe?
Is "Heads-Up" Technology Safe?
Jul 8, 2015 | Firm News
It seems like vehicle technology offers something new every day. Just because something is new, however, doesn't mean it's safe.
For the past several years, auto manufacturers have experimented with technology that seeks to reduce driver distraction by preventing motorists from accessing in-car tech while the vehicle is in motion. This can be seen in certain vehicle models that disable GPS navigation controls unless the vehicle is in park.
Now, an increasing number of car manufacturers have abandoned disabling technology in favor of digital dashboard displays.
Safety Concerns about Heads-Up Vehicle Technology
Recently, auto makers have turned to "heads-up" technology that displays data on motorists' windshields. Select models of BMW, Volvo, and Hyundai vehicles now display full-color animation and information on drivers' windshields. Jaguar Land Rover has even advertised a "360 Virtual Urban Windscreen" that points out pedestrians, suggests points of interest, and projects the image of a "ghost car" to lead drivers to unfamiliar destinations.
Once limited to the cockpits of elite fighter pilots, this new technology claims to keep drivers focused on the road by keeping their heads facing straight ahead.
Safety advocates disagree. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), research shows that humans are incapable of multitasking – even going so far as to call multitasking a "lie." When the brain is confronted with two or more cognitive tasks, it switches back and forth between them rather than process them simultaneously.
Furthermore, NASA research discovered that even fighter pilots aren't immune to these distractions. A 2004 study showed that heads-up displays resulted in "attention capture" that diverted pilots' attention away from flying.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced in 2014 that it will begin studying heads-up displays. In the meantime, safety experts have their doubts. Paul Atchley, a professor of cognitive psychology who has researched the human attention span in three-dimensional spaces for the military, claims that heads-up tech offers no benefit. "You get the illusion of paying attention to the road without the benefit of seeing what's important."

Corel USER to USER Web Board • View topic - Scam: Bait and Switch?
After many months of seeing the "Upgrade Now!" annoying pop-up, I decided to buy it at the price on the pop-up: $34. "A 65% savings from $99!" Wee, such a good deal.
So I called the phone number. The lady takes my information, and tells me the price will be $79. What? I tell her about the pop-up price.
She says I can have the offered price of $34 IF I SEND HER a screenshot of it.
Suddenly, a different pop-up leaps onto my screen for $79. Huh?
She says the $34 offer is given to long-time customers. She acknowledges that I am a long-time customer, but insists that I must PROVE I got the offer by sending her a screen shot of it.
But, of course, it will never pop up again, because she put my name into the system to change my offer.
I think Corel has deliberately baited me with a $34 offer, but she entered my name into her database, and now my laptop will no longer send me the cheaper offer. THAT'S ILLEGAL.
BAIT AND SWITCH IS ILLEGAL. Corel is scamming me.
Has anyone else had this happen? Is there a fix? Will Corel honor the $34 offer? Is this a common scam?
OR, perhaps I need to find different software. I would gladly pay hundreds more in order to avoid being scammed.
Re: Scam: Bait and Switch?
Yes, that happened to me when I tried to purchase PSP 2018.
I couldn't get the webpage to open correctly so I contacted Corel. Support wanted proof, so I sent him a screenshot of the offer, which I had saved away. Something I always do before making purchases, but he wouldn't accept the screenshot.
But my name was never placed in a database.
I was patient and after a couple of weeks I saw the offer again, and this time the webpage opened up and I was able to purchase at the cheap price.
I keep an old version on one of my computers, just to get these better offers, and had never had a problem previously.
I click on the link and the purchase page opens up.
As Patara says it is good to keep an older version on your computer as bait to encourage Corel to offer you a better deal.
As you can see the lowest offer for standard PSP 2019 so far (and I purchased this on line with no troubles) was AU$24 . While purchasing there was also the offer to upgrade to the Ultimate version. I tested that and the price went up to AU$103 so went back and bought the version at AU$24.
For OP why didn't you purchase on line rather then phoning to make purchase and getting all that what you call "bait and switch"
My suggestion is that the people taking orders over phone do not alway have the latest information of the message offers. They just have the site info there which lists two prices $79 for standard and $103 for Ultimate.
Bit like the help line characters who only have the standard clear cache , history reboot , reinstall scenario . To get pertinent information you need to get past the front line and get a real techie on the phone.
I just opened my PSP 2018 version as a test and got the 65% discount for PSP 2019 - $34.65 AU - on closing the program.
You guys are great. Thanks for the perfect responses.
Hartpaul, I used the phone because I'm old. I like the human touch.
Today when I turned on my laptop, the $34 option came on-screen. I panicked when I realized this Bluetooth keyboard doesn't have (as far as I can tell) a full suite of keys, but eventually I found the screenshot button.
It clicked through to a $79 offer, which I consider a bait-and-switch...they offered $34 to get me to click!
So, again I'll make the phone call.
OH NOOOooooo.!!! I just realized I'm on the Aussie site!
I just tested again in my PSP 2018 Ultimate.
The offer showed $34.65 AU upgrade.
I clicked on the link.
A payment page opened ready for me to select PayPal or Visa etc.. The price still showed $34.65 AU.
I think you will have a hard time getting it if you don't pay direct like that. When buying through their website it is dearer, and as I said, I sent a screenshot of my deal previously and they still would not give it to me at the advertised discount price.
I had to buy direct from link within PSP.
Just had a new offer for the Ultimate version for AU32. The others at AU24 were for the standard version .
Seems Corel is now promoting the confusion by naming in the program the Ultimate version even though there is no difference in the base programs and it is only the added extras that make up the ultimate version.
I have had varying prices quoted for the last few versions of PSP I have bought. For PSP 2019 Ultimate I had offers to upgrade varying from £23 to £79. I would get an offer saying this was the lowest price & then days later get an offer that was even lower.


The GUI interface makes it much nicer for the none techie user.
The GUI. However the performance can be disappointing, at least at our release level, because it's not 'real' SQL. We do use it.
Another advantage is that it supports output to XLS, XLSX etc. with emailing. That's very useful.
Overall, it's hard to say because we don't know how it's used at your site. In general, if there is a single feature that is in use that you can't duplicate with standard facilities and that provides a worthwhile benefit, then it's worth having the product.
I've convinced management to get a license for SEQUEL before because of one or more features. OTOH, most sites had no good use for it.
It depends. Same as with almost any product.
I have not used the product for 10+ years. My impression in using the tool was that Viewpoint was intended to be something you could give to power users to allow them to create ad hoc queries without coming to IT all of the time.
But, as has been stated "it depends on what the features are in your shop that you take advanage of and benefit you".
Depending on how much history you know of at your shop. It may have been purchased to handle a specific need that becuase of new options or personell changes have become lost or forgotten.
My experience with the product was that it was very slow. (I one time rewrote from a series of (inhereted Sequel queries that took 12 minutes of processor time to complete to a standard RPG program that provided more useful output layout that used 90 seconds for processor time--this may have been from a lack of experience on whoever wrote the Sequel queries but there wasn't that much data to process). The last couple of places that I have worked, between standard system Query and SQL and being able to download files directly into a spreadsheet, I just haven't seen a need for Sequel.
in recent versions of SEQUEL you can create "dashboards" that can present a quick glance view of daily sales or orders shipped in last hour, etc. as stop lights (good, caution, problem), dials/speedometers.

The PPG back-up batteries are quite as bad. They happen to be the same blue VARTA variety and cause quite as much damage.

Yeah, I've still got a functional Atari ST, from '88 (or '89?) - but every single PC/Mac I've bought since then has died. Most of my gear I bought way back when, and in large part, still running. I've had an Emax SE die on me, and an Akai AX 73 - other than that, I've had good luck, but I was taught from a young age to respect and care for my instruments. I don't eat or drink near a keyboard, and I wash my hands before I play.
Kawai K5/K5m/K5000 are notorious for the LCD backlights failing. Practically every on you see will have it failed unless someone has fixed it. And the display is pretty hard to read without it -- all those one-pixel modulation indicators. On most of them (was true on my K5m) both the EL backlight itself and the DC-DC converter that powers it were failed. It's fixable, but it takes some work. The display is held in by metal tabs that you have to bend in order to remove the display, and you can only do it so many times before the tabs start to fail from fatigue.
Switches, knobs, buttons, LEDs, LCD screens, monitors, keys, mice, jacks, sockets. Now two joysticks!
Any display with electroluminescent backlight does, that counts for most of synths from the 90's (Akai, Kurzweil, Korg, Roland and Yamaha and not limited to Kawai). And, to be honest, it doesn't affect the synthesizer performance - so hardly a bomb of any kind. And, BTW, DON'T remove the metal tabs - that was my mistake during first backlight change - aligning contacts back will take ages. Only a handful displays (never encountered any in a synth) would require disassembling this way. The EL foil slides in between contacts near PCB.
Is now stocking his replacement mpu for the display of the Ensoniq ESQ1 and SQ-80.
These are modern chips programmed to emulate the 6500 processors that die and cause a blank, frozen or fubared display - also, since the chip is part of the serial loop from the keyboard to the mainboard, the synth often will go dead when this fails.
Cheers to this guy and his efforts! I've to five ESQ-1s waiting for this fix!!!
When the wise man points to the stars, the fool looks at the finger.
The Peavey DPM line is prone to Ni-cad battery leakage issues. My V3 rack has not suffered any damage but doesn't retain patches anymore and I have to load them evey time I turn it on.
What a great thread, perhaps we could consider making it a sticky.
Korg Prophecy: the L/R output jacks. The output becomes intermittent over time and eventually will cut out completely.
I've had 3 of these over the years, and every one of them will either have this problem or develop it.
Korg must've had a design flaw for some years, because many of the same era synthesizers seem to also have this problem with the output jacks.
My Korg Wavestation has developed the same issue, and I remember reading some years ago the Korg 01/W series of synths also have this issue.
If buying a Korg synthesizer from this time period, the output jack issue is one I would be certain to ask the seller whether it has this problem or not.
Korg Wavestation: I can confirm the sticky key issue. I was brave enough to open up my Wavestation and apply a small amount of titanium lube to the bushings. Seems the bushings become dry and brittle. Also, the guide rod for the keys will become bent, causing a key to fall.
Mine is working fine since the lubrication(this was probably done a decade ago), but it took several tries, and I still have one key that isn't cooperating and stays fallen. I may eventually just buy a new guide rod for it if possible.
It's my understanding the high pitched whine is due to the inverter in the backlight assembly. Replacing the backlight will not fix the problem.
Emu Emulator III: a wonderful sampler but I believe most of them have ghosts in the machine.
Works fine one minute and the next you've got problems. You can often lose voices, the boards inside are sensitive to movement. There's a common joke amongst EIII owners, "don't move your Emulator III". Seriously, these seem so sensitive, if you touch them, something will go out of whack.
If you HAVE to have one, best to use Pick Up Only, because shipping will only guarantee problems. The boards become loose, the components on the boards will also loosen, and you're looking at opening it up and re-seating everything you can touch.
If you still want an Emulator sampler from the past, the EII is still a great option, built like a tank and oh... that classic sound that you don't hear anywhere else.

Please check your sources again.
As to synth defects (is this thread still active??), the trusty old JD-800 is prone to 'self-editing' if the 50+ slider pots aren't cared for ... dirt and general wear and tear can trip these sliders and completely mess up your patch depending on which parameter is triggered.
Replacement parts are extremely hard to find (Syntaur sometimes have them in stock but they're pricey) ... the best remedy is to clean them yourself ... depending on how bad they are it might mean de-soldering them from the board and dis-assembly before cleaning (been there - done that).
- Roland Juno 106 / MKS-7 / MKS-30 / HS-60 - the voice chips have an epoxy coating that eventually short the chips resulting in dead voices.
Never saw it noted here, but the GR-700 also uses those.


In a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Commission (NUC), NATO Ministers of Foreign Affairs welcomed today the presence of Minister Konstyantyn Gryshchenko in Berlin as a clear sign of Ukraine's policy of engagement with the Alliance.
Ministers discussed priorities for further cooperation with Ukraine and how to better advance common objectives. They agreed to continue broadening the spectrum of NATO-Ukraine cooperation to include also emerging security challenges, such as the fight against terrorism, the proliferation of mass destruction and their means of delivery, cyber defence, and energy security.
The Alliance Foreign Ministers thanked Ukraine for the contributions to NATO-led operations.
In his remarks at the beginning of the meeting, Anders Fogh Rasmussen highlighted that "five months ago, NATO adopted a new Strategic Concept. And our new strategy puts partnerships at the core of NATO's mission and reconfirms the value of NATO's Distinctive Partnership with Ukraine".
"During my visit to Kyiv in February, President Yanukovych reaffirmed his personal commitment to furthering active political dialogue and practical cooperation between NATO and Ukraine. His recent approval of Ukraine's National Annual Programme for 2011 is a tangible expression of this commitment", the Secretary General emphasized.
At today's meeting, the Foreign Ministers of NATO countries and Ukraine discussed a substantive agenda, which, according to Fogh Rasmussen, "reflects not only the strength and significance of the NATO-Ukraine Distinctive Partnership, but also its considerable further potential".

UK bioscience welcomes government funds
The UK Government has handed out new cash awards to help boost to the UK bioscience sector.
This funding injection cones from the first round of the 'Biomedical Catalyst awards,' which has given 22 companies £29.6 million to help accelerate the development of new medical products and technologies to treat areas of unmet medical need.
The UK Biomedical Catalyst, which was announced by the UK prime minister David Cameron in December 2011, is managed jointly by the Medical Research Council and the Technology Strategy Board.
Overall, £39 million worth of funding has been announced for 32 projects leveraging in significant private finance making the total value of the work in excess of £63 million - a significant boost for UK medical research.
The BIA, which represents the UK biotech sector, said it 'warmly welcomed' the announcement of the first early and late-stage grant awards.
Steve Bates, BIA chief executive, said: "This latest announcement of BioMedical Catalyst funding is a very welcome boost for UK bioscience, a key UK export sector. It will support 22 innovative companies researching and developing new treatments and technologies for improved patient benefit. It's great that the UK's excellence in medical research can now move closer to becoming therapies for patients.
"Because angel and other private sector investors understand the rigour of this process and the calibre of the assessors, a successful Biomedical Catalyst fund application pays dividends when seeking other forms of investment.
"BIA members found the process quicker and easier than previous government initiatives which makes a difference for time pressed small businesses. We're particularly pleased that more feedback is given during the process as we have suggested."
Firms welcome funds
Glide Pharma, the specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the new ways of administration for solid dose formulations of therapeutics and vaccines, was given £2.3 million via the awards to support the development of a novel formulation of teriparatide (parathyroid hormone) for the treatment of osteoporosis.
Dr Sam Williams, chief executive of Modern Biosciences, a recipient of an award of up to £1.6 million to support its lead anti-inflammatory programme, OsteoRx, said: "The award enables us to take the OsteoRx programme to a much more advanced stage than might otherwise be possible, thereby increasing the chances of this new treatment reaching patients and achieving eventual commercial success."

Brush a 2lb loaf tin (about 22 x 11 x 6cm) with oil, line completely with cling film (the oil will help it to stick to the sides), then line the base with a strip of baking parchment. Gently melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, then remove from the heat and leave to cool a little. Using an electric whisk, beat in 200ml of the cream until the mixture is just holding its own shape. Set aside while you make the dark layer.
Melt the dark chocolate as you did the white, then remove from the heat and cool for 1 min. Little by little, stir the remaining cream into the melted chocolate until you have a smooth, thick ganache. Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks, stir a third into the ganache to loosen it, then fold in the rest.
To assemble, spoon just under half of the dark mixture into the loaf tin and smooth the surface. Spoon over the white chocolate and smooth, then gently spoon the remaining dark chocolate mixture over the top, being careful not to disturb the white layer, again smoothing the surface. Cover and chill for at least 2 hrs. If you're making the terrine the day before, let it sit at room temperature for 1 hr before serving.
To serve, turn the tin upside down onto a serving plate and use the edges of cling film to ease out the terrine. Remove the cling film and baking parchment and serve with the Star anise biscuits (see Goes well with, right).
Brilliant recipe, went down a storm, though did end chucking it in the freezer for a couple of hours to help it set.
A bit better than just a plain terrine, but still, pretty bland.
I love this recipe, but was just wodnering if anyone had any ideas on how i could develop this as a product? also what is the purpose of the cream? is there anything else i could use instead?
Fab recipe. Really easy and tasted delicious. It looked amazing to serve (even though I didn't quite whip the white choc mix for long enough) and went down a treat!
Turned out exactly like the picture. No need to change a thing. I used Bourneville chocolate and Milky Bar white chocolate.
I found it better to softly whip the cream BEFORE folding in the cooled chocolates.

In today's world we are seeing the below picture almost everywhere, on shopping malls, online shopping websites, on newspapers, on hoardings almost everywhere.
Do you know what it is, this is QR code.
QR code is a two-dimensional code (2D code, matrix code), this means it contains data not only in one dimension (e.g. horizontally from left to right like the barcodes on the products in e.g. your grocery store) but also in a second dimension (vertical and horizontal).
The data is stored inside this square box in the form of squares which can be retrieved easily by qr scanner or qr reader i.e. the mobile app which you install to read or scan the qr codes.
With the help of qr code the marketing concept has totally changed today.
This was first time used in japan. The main advantage of qr codes is that it can be read easily by mobile cameras and is much quicker to scan.
They provide speed, labour savings and cost savings, among other benefits including identification of elements like URLs, products, contact information etc.
QR code can carry up to hundred times the amount of information than the bar code scanner does. QR code is capable of being read in 360 degrees from any direction and thus eliminating any interference, negative effects from backgrounds.
Many websites and mobile apps are available now a days to create QR codes, also many mobile apps are there to scan qr codes.
Today everybody has a computer in the form of desktop, laptop, or pc and everybody is using either for the personal purpose or professional purpose.
Even people are using but they are not aware that if any small problem arises how to solve them by yourself without going outside for any repair shop or taking help from any other people.
There are many things that a normal computer user can check and find out and can easily resolve the issues related to its computer.
Many times the problem can be so small that its irrelevant to take help from people outside and spent unnecessary money.
I will let you know the basic things which we can check and determine if there is any issue running on your computer or why is it running slow.
The basic things which I am going to tell does not require any technical expertise anybody can see those and can find out if there is any issue running on your computer for example anything related to security compromised on your computer or any software or program creating issue, or why my computer running slow and even you can check the history of your computer for example if there is any other suspicious activity on your computer any unwanted program installed on your computer.
My focus will be on for those people who does not have computer knowledge except just running computer for entertainment purposes or for small business (if they are running from there computer).
1. How to check event viewer of computer, what it is, how it works, how we can use it to identify computer issues.

Multnomah County Library to begin major expansion and upgrades at Midland
» Newsroom
Midland Library will close to the public on December 23 to begin move out and prepare for construction
PORTLAND, Ore.--December 22, 2022
Major transformations are underway for Multnomah County Library with plans for expanded and modernized library spaces. Holgate Library is the first library to undergo dramatic rebuilding and expansion in mid-county and closed to the public to begin move out and construction processes on December 5. Midland Library is up next, closing to the public at 6 pm on December 23 to prepare for construction on its renovation and expansion. These libraries are the first set of eight total building projects funded through the 2020 library bond that will also include the construction of a new East County Library.
The projects at Holgate and Midland are scheduled to be completed in 2024. To most efficiently and responsibly use taxpayer funds while following fiscal spending requirements, the libraries are closing for construction on similar timelines. Project leaders selected these locations to be completed first because they didn't require new land purchases, which would have meant a longer timeline.
Expanding Midland Library
Midland Library will be renovated and expanded, adding 6,000 square feet of space to support the growing community. Midland will reopen in summer 2024.
Midland Library's new and expanded features will include:
Outdoor interactive children's play area.
Large play and learning space for children and families.
Dedicated teen room with space for technology, homework and creative expression.
A larger, more diverse collection.
Updated technology and internet.
Outdoor plaza for community members to relax and connect.
New art that represents the community.
A Gathering Circle for community conversation.
"Multnomah County Library is creating innovative, modern library spaces on a scale that the community hasn't seen in over one hundred years," said Vailey Oehlke, Director of Libraries. "We know these vital expansions and renovations like at Midland Library will cause some short term interruptions in service, but the community will experience incredible long-term benefits. We're excited to share these transformations to show how the library changes and grows alongside the community."
During construction closures, the library encourages patrons to visit the libraries closest to them and use the many online services on the library's website.
Library collections (books, media, etc.) will be affected by construction. Some items will be moved to storage and unavailable during building closures. You can always find up-to-date information about available materials through the library catalog. If the item you are looking for is not available to be checked out, take a look at our vast collection of e-books, audiobooks, and streaming media, all free to use with your library card. If you need assistance, please contact us.
Nearby libraries for Holgate and Midland are:
Belmont Library: 1038 SE César E. Chávez Blvd.
Gregory Heights Library: 7921 NE Sandy Blvd.
Hollywood Library: 4040 NE Tillamook St.
Rockwood Library: 17917 SE Stark St.
Woodstock Library: 6008 SE 49th Ave.
The library will share additional updates about services on its construction closures website.
Availability for comment will be limited to Thursday, December 22.

MO vs. World
MO Launches Subscription Service?
Bandit1216
I can live with (and occasionally appreciate) the online ads, and have no heartburn about registering as a reader if it will help you folks court and secure advertisers in order to keep the e-zine "free".

Don't don't don't have a subscription online mag, no one will visit it. What would help more is to use advertisers maney and build a larger advertiser database. I tried looking up electric gloves and socks on your sight and had to look elsewhere to fing a link. Help all of their potential customers and your advertisers by a better product search and find engine.
Our click-through rates are almost an order of magnitude higher than industry standard, all the OEMs seems pleased with the stellar results. That's not the problem, the problem is that ad in other mediums are almost completely un-auditable. Print industry "starch" tests show that you're lucky if 1/3rd of the print circulation base sees an ad (let alone does anything about it). Considering that print mags start at about 75 CPM ($75 per 1000 circulation), and only an average of a third of the circulation sees an ad, that's an effective CPM of $225. MO is $25 CPM per 1000 ads displayed, and we can target people to see ad X number of times, track their results or call-to-actions, and give advertisers exact results on how many times a story was read.
To combat this, print magazines release what I feel to be knowingly rediculous and downright silly "pass-through" numbers. So, if MO logs over a million reader sessions (which equalls close to 600,000 different people), a print mag with a circulation much smaller than ours says that each one of their magazines are read by seven different people, so their claimed circulation is 7x what their audits say. None of which includes people like me that get about 10 magazines (many are, strangely, sent to me for free) and read none of them, let alone seven times. And the industry buys into this. Nor do we release that our last reader survey showed that our readership printed out/e-mailed MO stories to an average of three people, or a "pass-through" of 3x. You can't truly measure this, and it shouldn't be used, reported or even considered, but it is.
While I agree that putting, for instance, Tide ads on the cover of Yahoo! (or any ads on a portal in our experience) gives poor results -- they're lucky to get 0.1% click-through -- MO averages about 2.4% click-through for run-of-content ads, and we're seeing some of them in the 20+% range. Clearly, running niche ads in niche markets that're further subdivided/targeted down to the individuals' likes are highly effective. Thus, the underlying problem in this situation are three-fold: First, running branding ads in general-interest mediums aren't really effective in an individual sale scenario -- that's why they're designed to build brand identity, certainly an important task -- but you can't really measure this in print, TV and radio, while you can online. Second, we're up against the established medium who are telling peole that the new medium doesn't work (which, with our results over the past seven years, we feel we've proven do, and again, the OEs don't debate this with us), and third -- this is the real killer for MO -- where do you think old moto-journalists go when they're done writing? Ad agencies and PR. In many cases, they float back and forth betwee PR/magazines. At over half of the large companies we currently target, we're dealing with ex-print peole that're seemingly stuck in their "glory years" of paper publishing, and are extremely resistent to change.
I think we didn't make our point with this thread: More advertising is almost impossible, as the marketing arms of the manufacturers don't return our calls and when they do, what we hear from the OEMs in terms of budget levels differs greatly from what their ad agencies tell us. We're not sure where the incongruity stems from, as we can't get straight answers from anyone.
Re: NO NO NO!
Thanks for the tips! Some responses/reasons why we do things our way:
Changing looks (ala news.mo) doesn't help readership. News.MO is a small fraction of the traffic of www.mo. Thus, the opinions here are different from the majority of MO readers (getting their opinions is much harder), probably much more progressive and more 'Net-savvy. The majority of MO readers read us for the multi-bike shootout and First-Ride features, want to download and watch some videos, 85% of them don't post/read here, and get upset when we change things from their familiar MO (which hasn't changed looks since 1995. Pathetic, eh?).
That said, a major redesign of www.mo is underway with cutting-edge features and customization. Part of the problem is that serving 1000+ concurrent (news.mo is roughly 14% of our traffic, and sees a peak of about 250 active readers, so we can expect close to 3000 total between www.mo and news.mo, that's a lot!), dynamically-generated/custom look pages requires big iron, and fast, parrellized databases with dynamic load direction. We can't afford to drop six figures on vendor-supplied computers. Hackfu
and I just finished installing three big servers and two load-directors, with one more server to be completed. (Installing RAID arrays, replicating SQL databases, writing routing rules and SQL-based web pages isn't what I envisioned when I started MO in early '94! Can you say "yawn?")
The Vietnam story was cool, but the amount of re-writing, editing and arranging for quality photography and scanning/laying out a features a day from readers would require two more staffers here. It is incredibly time consuming, and I, as Editor-in-Chief, don't even have time to edit our own staff-generated features or those from our regular, quality stringers (who're pretty self-sufficient).
We're working hard on more product reviews. This is sorely needed. We've known we sucked in this area for a long time.
We already have a huge classifieds section.
We dumped the TechBBS in 1996 because of the massive volumes of questions. We couldn't keep up with it, nor could the people we contracted to do it. This would be a full-time job here.
Similarly, finding e-mail addresses for MO is purposely hard, I, for one, already get a couple thousand a day, it's impossible to keep up with. The idea here was that people could interact with one and other for support, but that doesn't seem acceptable, so I've added a link to our e-mail form in the "Main Menu" to your left. The problem is, we can't respond to most of them, which stinks.
I also added a direct link for registered users to change their password.

i'd be willing to pay a subscription fee for a quality product. i pay for the magazines. why should i expect to receive what you provide for free?
however, i agree with some of your readers who ask for greater breadth and depth of content, especially if we are asked to pay. so far, i've had no complaints about the value of the product you provide. i might feel otherwise if there were a fee inlolved.
sure, it would be great if you could generate enough advertising revenue to cover all your expenses and provide you with a living as well. however, it's naive for anyone to suggest that you "go out and get more ad money." believe it or not fellow readers, advertisers have limited budgets. they also tend to be a bit timid when it comes to spending money outside the conventional audience delivery vehicles.
giving up a page or two in the major print magazines in order to pay for a presence online can be hard to justify for advertisers. the more they run in the print mags, the more they receive in page-cost discounts as well merchandising.
in the real world, where people are not just managing ad budgets, but their own careers, borrowing money from the conventional to afford the unconventional can be a hard sell to the people to whom the ad managers report. especially when they believe, justifiably, that the people who are reading online sites are also reading the magazines.
i'm not defending the behavior, just telling it like it is.
so, if i had to make a choice between saying goodbye to m.o. or paying a few bucks to keep it alive, and improving, then i'm up for paying.
Re: what?
whose girlfriend?
are you getting enough bran in your diet?
I like more advertising, I subscribe to a Canadian MC magazine(print} and I think I read most of the ads and often purchase the products. I would like acceleation times and passing times and distances as well as the subjective stuff. Read your review on zen and the art of motorcycl maintenance and bought the book and am enjoying it greatly.

Stay Free But expand into parts sales
I say; Stay web Based and free for the users.
Ads; I say develope a side program of becoming the webs best online motorcycle parts dealer ever, with web based micro-fishes (you know what they are, I just can't spell) And the ability to sell OEM and aftermarket parts at great prices even after the cost of shipping is added.
I really get kinda ticked off the way most shipping is done with UPS and Fed Ex compared to what actual costs might have been sending stuff USPS
SilverSurfer
There's one fundamental part of this equation that has yet to be mentioned (or maybe I missed it). When you subscribe to, or buy, a printed magazine, you have something to hold and keep. When you subscribe to an online magazine the product is not really yours, is it?
I still have old Motorcyclist, Cycle World, and Cycle magazines laying about, but how long would I be able to keep my copy of MO?
When you think about it in this framework, what you're really talking about here is a rental or leasing opportunity.
Unless you plan on keeping a user database full of every page, or "volume/issue", purchased then I don't see the buyer's value in this model.

Re: Leverage the strengths of the medium
Two excellent comments, indeed. And one not lost on MO, or me -- back when MO was just me in 1994, MO had the first use of onboard MPEG video at an "e-zine," possibly the first anywhere. Coded them by hand, frame-by-frame with the Berkeley MPEG encoder. Did the same, line-by-line, with the VRMLs I did for a manufacturer back then, and plopping bikes around 16X3 times for QuicktimeVRs wasn't much fun without an automatic dias...
But I digress. Today, we've served terabytes of video data, and it's extremely costly. I'm not sure if many netizens realize the cost of multiple, redundant, load-balanced connections and the server farm behind it, but it's significant. Hence, yes, there hasn't been an increase in frequency of multimedia aspects @MO since we first launched videos some six years ago. We severely limit the amount of users at our FTP site (60 max) because we'd be at max bandwidth 24x7, and slow as heck for the HTML story reading that is our bread and butter.
So, the question remains: How do we capitolize on this large and (despite the flames we see here from a very vocal subset of whiners) highly loyal readership we maintain? MO remains the largest motorcycling site on the 'Net, and according to MM, the "stickiest" of all automotive sites. A good accomplishment, except that it's about midnight and I'm still working. A short day, actually, and that reaches to the heart of the problem.

Controversial political donor Huang Xiangmo, who had his Australian permanent residency visa stripped from him, has described Australia as a "giant baby" with "simple folk customs" but beautiful scenery.
Mr Huang has been accused in Australia of being a lobbyist for Beijing, but in an interview with the nationalist Chinese tabloid Global Times, he describes himself as a Hong Kong businessman.
He said the visa cancellation was "quite unexpected" and had "a huge impact on me and my family" because he is unable to see his granddaughter who is an Australian citizen.
But Mr Huang says he is "very pleased" the major political parties have chosen not to return his political donations, as he requested last week, because it shows "they have enough confidence in the legitimacy of these donations".
He said documents from ASIO "clearly stated that I did not violate any laws in Australia".
A column he wrote in 2016 for the Global Times about political donations helped propel Mr Huang into the spotlight in Australia amid concern about foreign influence campaigns.
Global Times published on Tuesday a lengthy interview with Mr Huang, with the newspaper asking him whether his visa cancellation was "a watershed incident in Australia's perception of Chinese influence?"
But at an official level, Beijing appears to have shrugged off Australia's move in December to cancel Huang's permanent resident visa. When asked at a press briefing on Monday, China's foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said: "I have no relevant information, but one thing is clear, which is that the Chinese side never interferes in others' internal affairs".
She added, "We hope the Australian side could handle the relevant issues involving this Chinese citizen in a fair, just and non-discriminatory way."
In the Global Times interview Mr Huang blames ASIO for the visa cancellation and alleges that information about him was illegally leaked to the media.
"The same risk will certainly fall on every Chinese, or anyone with other ethnic origins," he said.
He said overseas Chinese are a diverse group who hold diverse political ideas and he understood that "there are different perceptions over the incident and on me". But Mr Huang said he believed his "words and acts" had been in strict accordance to Australian law.
© James BrickwoodMr Huang with Bill Shorten.
"My closeness with China is in accordance with law, reasonable and rational, and has no difference with other ethnic groups' closeness to their home country".
Mr Huang's citizenship application was rejected "on character grounds" and because ASIO was concerned he had previously been the chairman of the Australia Council for the Promotion of the Peaceful Reunification of China.
"Some Chinese might think the ASIO's anti-Communist needs are behind my case and it seems like as long as you are not involved or close to any 'redness' you will be safe. However, how does supporting reunification relate to the colour of one's political view?" he said.
He said Australia has diplomatic relations with communist China and adhered to the "One China" principle. Australia does not recognise Taiwan as a sovereign state.
Mr Huang claimed "there seems to be some strange power operating in a dark place outside the law".
"The two year investigation of me also proved my innocence: they dug deep but found my words and deeds do not violate any Australian laws. What I did not expect is that a system that boasts democracy and rule of law would allow some people from its intelligence agency to punish a permanent resident with groundless accusations."
He said the legal process was still progressing. The Australian Chinese Daily has reported Mr Huang has appealed the decision in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
In the Global Times interview, Mr Huang said he was living in his Hong Kong house when his Australian lawyer received a notice from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade saying his permanent residency was cancelled.
He travelled frequently between the two places, and Thailand, for business. He recently told Thai media that his father was born in Thailand.
He said he had made political donations, after being asked by Australian political parties, because "I hope to promote Chinese people's legal involvement in politics".
Labor Senator Sam Dastyari was forced to resign after comments he made to Chinese Australian media in support of China's stance in the South China Sea were reported in full, and it was revealed he had tipped off Mr Huang that his phone was bugged by Australian authorities.


Google has begun warning users if their accounts may be compromised by state-sponsored cyber attacks.
Google has begun warning users if their accounts may be compromised by state-sponsored cyber attacks, in order to help customers protect personal data, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported.
"We are constantly on the lookout for malicious activity on our systems, in particular attempts by third parties to log into users' accounts unauthorized," Google's Vice President of Security Engineering Eric Grosse said in a blog post on Tuesday.
Grosse said the new step includes a specific warning, with a pink message bar and blue letters, to be issued in cases where users might be targeted.
The warnings do not necessarily mean that the account has been hijacked, but indicates that it may be a target of malware.
The move comes amid growing concerns about malware from the so-called Flame virus and other indications of cyber warfare.
Google said users who receive the warning should create "a unique password that has a good mix of capital and lowercase letters, as well punctuation marks and numbers" and take other measures, including two-step verification, as additional security.
"Attackers often send links to fake sign-in pages to try to steal your password, so be careful about where you sign in to Google," Grosse said.

One of the best parts of my job(s) now, especially when compared to working at that boring desk job, is how often I get to walk around New York City.
Since no two days are the same for me lately (also awesome), I end up in different neighborhoods for different reasons all the time. I get to experience such a wide variety of urban life every day and it makes me feel incredibly content.
Yesterday HST had a meeting with a company in the East Village (lotsa good stuff happening!!). When I was in college, I lived in the East Village and spent almost all my time below 14th street. It's amazing to realize how much has changed in that neighborhood since I moved here 12 years ago, and also how much has stayed the same.

49ers sign TE Vance McDonald to a five-year extension
After four seasons with the franchise, the 49ers reward McDonald with a 5-year 35 million contract extension
By jenniferleechan@jenniferleechan Dec 9, 2016, 7:22pm PST
Share All sharing options for: 49ers sign TE Vance McDonald to a five-year extension
The San Francisco 49ers announced that they have signed tight end Vance McDonald to a five-year contract worth $35 million. McDonald was due to hit free agency after is now under contract through the 2021 season. ESPN is reporting the deal includes $16 million in guaranteed money.
McDonald, a four year veteran from Rice University has set receiving records this season with two touchdown receptions of 65 yards or more, one for 65 yards and a second for 75 yards. McDonald is only the fourth tight end since the merger to reach that mark. His receiving average this season of 16.3 yards per catch is second only to New England's Rob Gronkowski.
General manager Trent Baalke offered praise for McDonald just a couple weeks ago. He said, "Vance has done a real nice job, especially the last four to five games. He's really coming along and developing into the player we always thought he would. He's gotten much more consistent, he's doing a good job blocking. He's a good all-around football player and he has a chance in this scheme to do some things as you say because the matchups are favorable."
It is no surprise then to see the extension follow up. It comes ten months after the team signed Garrett Celek to a four-year extension through the 2019 season. Second-year tight end Blake Bell is signed through 2018.
McDonald had this to say about the extension.
All praise to Him #GoNiners pic.twitter.com/yDhBSuCrhs

General manager Trent Baalke had this to say about McDonald's extension
"Vance has shown consistent growth throughout his four-year career and his production this season is the result of his dedication and hard work. We believe he has only scratched the surface of what he will be able to accomplish in his career. Vance is a tremendous ambassador for the 49ers, and his passion for helping others provides a wonderful example for this organization. We look forward to his continued contributions to this organization, both on and off the field."
McDonald is also very active off of the field doing a great deal of charity work with Convoy of Hope which is the organization who co-sponsored Monday night's event at Levi's Stadium. He has been on mission trips to Haiti and Nicaragua which lead to him being a co-recipient of the Community Service Family Award from the organization. McDonald and his wife Kendi recently welcomed a son into their lives which has positively changed his outlook on life, both personally and professionally.

Would it be beyond capabilities to add a few things to enhance strings, and possibly other general practices?
int "Length" output in addition to the text.
behavior "Get string" to return a new string using the given offsets, such as amC# substring method clone.
behavior "Function" to replace "behavior bundle". Switch "Execute Immediately", if off, behavior must be executed using "Execute Behavior", if on, acts as normal behavior bundle.
overload behavior "Execute Behavior", when executing a function, optionally add multiple input field "arguments"
behavior "return value" to Replace "broadcast value" and "receive value". Any input-required behavior in any object on the current scene or overlay can read this value.
overload behavior "return value"', when used in a function, the execute behavior returns the value or values input here.
behavior "Refresh Scene" reloads the current scene without restarting the entire project.
behavior "Make Cheesy Bacon Fries" in case the developer needs a mood lift.
There is a Trim Text, and combine text. With these you should be able to do what you need.
Compact? What would be the purpose of this? I can't see it being used in hyperPad.
-Functions are planned. It's later in the hyperPad life cycle. See the roadmap. Also, note that behaviour bundles are mainly to be used for organization, and to force your behaviours to execute in a specific order. They're not really intended as a function replacement.
Execute behaviour. We were thinking of adding an "Execute behaviour by name" feature. Where you can enter a name of a behaviour and it will trigger it. But behaviour on does this in most situations.
A return value will be part of functions when it's added.
-We have a restart scene behaviour. It restarts the current scene, not the whole project.
Play animation only executes the next behaviour after it's done. If this isn't happening for you check your logic.
We wanted to do something like this. But since adding attributes, you can do this your self. It's a bit more work on your end to set up, but entirely possible. Use an object on global ui, and an attribute id for each object you spawn. Each time an object is spawned, add an attribute. I'm not going through all the details, but you should be able to figure it out :).
Don't think we can do this. Apple is pretty picky about this kind of stuff, the OS is designed t crash when there is too much memory usage. Unless we set a software limit, I don't think we can do anything. And setting a software limit is not the greatest idea. Stick with using reasonable sized assets, and reusing objects/assets in your scene and you should be able to keep memory manageable.
BUT MURTAZA, WHAT ABOUT THE CHEESY BACON FRIES????????
Replace would be easier to find and use if you ask me, but I'm s coder, most here aren't.
Just as easy as 1010101010*(9+(31/4)), instead of 10x5*(9+(31/4))?
Save data with sockets. I don't want to send 50MB of save data, I want it compressed down to 5, also, length of data for server sided ease, such as clash of clans protocol.
It was intended to be patchwork until a better system was added.
I thought that restarted the project, so I never used it. I'll try again later though.
In my tests, it immediately executes as the description says it does, but I may be blind.
I would need an example, as a carbon copy seems to be difficult to decipher from its parent. Also, that wouldn't work, as the parent is sometimes already destroyed, and now has the child ID, at least in theory.
That's stupid, but, hey, I'm not apple.
It does more than just replace. Either way it exists. We'll look into renaming it if more people are confused. But so far seems fine :).
You're dealing with text. You'd have to send A LOT of text back and forth to reach 50 mb. By adding compression you're unnecessarily optimizing before a problem even exists. You're also adding extra processing that's not needed and could potentially lag. I just don't see the use case for this. In 99% of situations it's unneeded. And I don't think this is the solution any ways, the solution would be to streamline your logic to send less chunks of data at a time.
I just tested it. Connected a play sound to the play animation. The sound happened after the animation completed. The description was most likely an oversight.
I don't have time to create an example right now. But look at how Attributes work, you can create a dynamic attribute for each spawned object. It'll require some clever thinking, but it is possible to do a lot of things this way. You're still limited by not being able to reference an object directly. But you can pass information around this way.
Supercell's Clash of Clans sends about 3.4MB of data for a maxed hall11. Most connections can't handle that, so they compress it to under 512KB. Most can handle that. They use ZLIB and JSON. JSON formatting, zlib compressing, plus added data.
Play sound may work differently. I'll see if I can build a skeletal replica of my issue.
I'm just using dynamic load/save to file. It works well, actually.
Yeah but you're not supercell, and neither are any other of our users. If our users max out the limitations and these becomes needed we'll look into it.
For now, let's just see if users can create a a simple app that uses http requests at all. My feeling is we're quite a way off before it's needed. Hopefully I'm proven wrong.


There is a very high chance that you know someone who is struggling with infertility. After all, over seven million women of childbearing age in the US have experienced infertility, but as a society, we still seem to struggle with understanding the process and how to provide emotional support for someone going through the pain that it can bring.
The pain of infertility has often been compared to the grief of losing a loved one, but often worse, as it comes back month after month, and we are surrounded by pregnant women, young babies and happy, smiling families in every part of our life. The 'what if's?' can follow us and be there every single moment of every day. Not only that, but fertility can put a huge strain on relationships with people, and let's not even start the discussion about how cripplingly expensive it can be.
The couple will find an alternative way of becoming parents, such as adoption or fostering.
Whatever path they end up taking, it will take it's toll emotionally, and they will need the support of their family and friends. Here, we look at how you can support them through this process.
One of the worst things anyone could tell a couple who are struggling to conceive is to relax. Everyone knows someone who 'relaxed and got pregnant'. Comments such as this are unhelpful because no doubt they have tried that course of action and no manner of relaxing will help them to conceive. It can make them feel even worse like the woman is doing something wrong which is stopping her from getting pregnant. Infertility is a medical condition, and even with medical treatment, many couples will not conceive.
Don't Tell Them There Are Worse Things That Could Happen.
For some people, there may be worse things than not being able to have a baby, but for many, not being able to get pregnant and have their much-wanted child may be the worst thing that ever happens to them. Minimising their pain and what they are going through can only cause more emotional trauma.
Adoption is a wonderful thing and is an alternative way for many couples to reach their goal of becoming parents. However, it is not for everyone, and before they can decide whether to go down that path, they have to grieve for the loss of their own biological , and this can take a long time.
Above all, let them know that you care and offer them the same support that you would to anyone who has lost a loved one. Let them know that you are thinking of them, and provide a shoulder to cry on if they need to.
