British quality newspaper The Times have opened up their dusty but valuable archives of the past 200 years by officially launching The Times Archive today. Every newspaper published between 1785 and 1985 has been scanned and made fully searchable through an OCR program.
Nineteen months ago, Times Media's digital publisher Zach Leonard told Journalism.co.uk that the company was looking at the possibility of building an archive of all its content. Turns out that Leonard wasn't just trying to gain some goodwill but actually planned on digitalizing the archive. The beta version was launched only last month, so apparently the company has different guidelines than most web start-ups – who often seem to stay in beta mode forever.
For a limited period of time, the whole archive will be free. So enjoy it while you can. Read about the original Live Aid for example, or the Titanic or the assassination of Lincoln.

Several hundred members of the Vancouver community gathered to mark the 90th anniversary of what has become one of the world's great academic institutions, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The culmination of the evening focused on four young Israeli soldier-students from the Duvdevan Elite Unit and a scholarship project intended to both reward dedication to the state of Israel and to ensure that individuals who have demonstrated that they are among the foremost citizens of that country will continue to contribute productively throughout their lives. The evening also featured presentations by Ambassador Ido Aharoni who spoke on The Rise of The New Infosumer, and Prof. Noam Shoval of Hebrew U's department of geography who spoke about the geographic realities of the city of Jerusalem that were revealed through his complex GPS study of its inhabitants' movements by day and night.

On 26th Feb 2014 Babette got her new knee, Nemo

Babette was very well looked after there for 8 days. She is out of hospital now and being looked after by her friend Gina in Weybridge, Surrey for a few days until she has to go back for a check up and to have the staples out next Wednesday, she will go back home after that to start work on "Grrrr!"
Her next book about a little Were-Pup for Random House. It will be a while before she can ride again but the horses and dogs are being taken care of by Lisa, Sally and James, Tree Elf.
Sadly she will not be able to get to Bologna Book Fair this year as she cannot travel for six weeks after the operation but she will be appearing at Hay Festival at Hay on Wye, Hay Festival in Kells Co. Meath, Ireland and Edinburgh Festival later in the year.
Babette wishes to thank everybody who has helped her get through her knee replacement and we wish her a speedy recovery.


« Cry havoc and let slip the robots of war?
One for the Road? . . .
It was announced yesterday that the J D Weatherspoon's firm has been given the go-ahead to open a pub in a motorway service station. Is there anything morally problematic with this development?
The moral question here turns on the empirical question of whether having a pub in a motorway service station would lead to an increase in the number of motorists drinking in a manner that would compromise their ability to drive safely. Since this venture is the first of its kind, any answer to this question must necessarily be somewhat speculative. However, it seems that we can consider certain factors which might be thought to bear on the question of whether we could reasonably expect the presence of a pub in a motorway service station to increase drink-driving.
First, we might worry that the main market that Weatherspoon's is targeting in opening a pub at a service station is drivers. However, this is not necessarily the case; service stations are also visited by a large number of non-drivers, in particular, by passengers on long haul coach journeys. As such, it is not the case that Weatherspoon's are specifically targeting drivers in a manner that might give us cause for concern.
A related worry might be that the mere presence of a pub would serve to tempt drivers into drinking when they previously would not have done so. Again though, it is not clear why this must be the case. After all, there are already a large number of pubs near or on Britain's many 'A' roads, yet we do not think that they present a source of irresistible temptation to motorists. Moreover, a recent change on law in the UK allows supermarkets to sell alcohol in motorway service stations.
Perhaps the most plausible worry about opening a pub in a service station is the message that it might be understood to convey about drink-driving. Here, there seems to be an important disanalogy between having a pub in a service station and allowing a pub near to an 'A' road. It seems that the primary purpose of service stations is to provide motorists with a place to rest from driving; they are not intended as a place to visit in the same way that a country pub might. With this in mind, there might be some credence to the claim that allowing a pub in a service station serves to legitimise drinking as part of the motorist's recuperation during long drives; if so, this does seem to represent a way in which the presence of a Wetherspoon's pub might serve to incite more people to drink whilst they are driving.
Moreover, we might also point out that there is a disanalogy between having a pub in a service station and selling alcohol in a service station supermarket, in so far as making alcohol available in a 'pub' setting would normally seem to make the availability of alcohol far more salient to the motorist than merely selling it in a service station supermarket.
This is not intended as a knock-down argument against the development. As I mentioned at the outset, it is an empirical question as to whether the presence of a pub in a service station would increase the number of motorists drink-driving, and the devil will very much be in the detail. However, I believe that the above represents one of the more plausible reasons for why the presence of a pub in a service station might possibly increase the numbers of motorists drink driving.
3 Responses to One for the Road? . . .
By 'availability' you do mean that the presence of a pub conveys the mesage 'please have a sit and enjoy our alcoholic beverages right now' as opposed to the supermarket 's 'please enjoy our alcoholic beverages when you so please' ?
Thanks for the comment Adrien. I think that what you point out is certainly part of what I mean. However, I also meant to capture the idea that a passer by is more likely to be drawn to think of purchasing alcohol walking past a pub than they are when walking past a supermarket, on the basis that supermarkets are normally more associated with selling food items. This is what I meant by claiming that a pub makes the availability of alcohol salient. Hope this clarifies things!
Thanks for your reply. I agree with your second point. And I agree with your post if indeed what I pointed out is part of what you mean.

San Diego Restaurants Slap Diners with Surcharges Thanks to Minimum Wage Increases
Patrice Onwuka	| January 6, 2017
Minimum wage increases don't have a big impact, right? If you ask some San Diego diners they'd probably tell you're wrong.
In the wake of labor cost increases, local restaurants have responded with new charges on bills of 3 percent or more, specifically to cover the cost of expensive new regulations.
In preparation for the second minimum wage increase in six months and the fourth in over two years, local San Diego restaurants are implementing surcharges. Beginning this week, the city's minimum wage jumped from $10.50 per hour to $11.50. The minimum wage increases don't end here though. By 2020, they're set to hit $15 an hour, but if businesses are under pressure trying to make $11.50, how will they stay afloat over the next few years?
Instead of merely jacking up prices, some local owners have gotten creative and added a line on the bill for a "government mandate" surcharge to spell out the direct increase that minimum wage hikes have on the costs that diners pay for their meals. And it's not only because of minimum wage increases, but healthcare costs and other mandates. The surcharges have largely been implemented by a number of San Diego's higher-end restaurant operators, especially with those whose workers are tipped, but it may become the norm across the board.
Some business say this surcharge is their last resort after trimming other expenses, cutting worker hours, increasing prices and other cost controls. The San Diego Triune reports:
"I can't get to sleep at night wondering where in the heck am I going to get the dollars I need to pay all my employees," said Rick DiRienzo, owner of Rockin' Baja, which operates three restaurants in San Diego County, is about to open a fourth in Mira Mesa, and also has one in Newport Beach.
"My servers are making incredible tips — between $20 and $30 an hour — and with this increase, I can't continue on and expect to make a living," DiRienzo said. "Of course, I'm worried about a backlash (from diners), but I can't think of anything else to do other than raise prices and I've already done that for the last two years."
DiRienzo estimates his company will take a financial hit approaching $200,000 this year across his four Southern California restaurants.
"We're still giving people raises, and we're fine paying people $15 an hour, but a restaurant's bottom line is such that all of a sudden you can't just absorb that," said Cohn, who opted for a 3 percent additional charge for San Diego restaurants and 2.5 percent for those outside the city.
"We're just stating a reality, that costs are going up and this is how we've decided to respond to it. If you stay in a hotel, rent a car, there are certain mandated fees."
San Diego is just one city which kicked off the New Year with minimum wage increases. Some 22 cities and counties and 19 states rang in the New Year with an increase to their minimum wages. California raised its minimum wage to $10.50 for businesses with 26 or more employees. Massachusetts and Washington State have the highest new minimum wages in the country at $11 per hour. New York has a new hodgepodge of wage increases: $11 in New York City, $10.50 for small businesses in the city, $10 in its downstate suburbs, and $9.70 elsewhere. The list of states that hiked wages on January 1st also include Arizona, Maine, Colorado, Arkansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Michigan, VermontAlaska, Florida, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, Ohio, and South Dakota. Later in the year, Oregon, Washington, D.C., and Maryland will see their lowest wages rise as well.
If it seems like restaurants and fast food places are more harshly affected by minimum wage increases, they are. They tend to employ lower wage workers to do repetitive, low-skilled or no-skilled jobs and, according to economists, labor costs eat up as much as 35 percent of operating costs compared to about 11 percent for retail.
Surcharges may be a short-term solution to absorb the costs of the new minimum wages and to educate diners on the direct impact of these increases and perhaps to get the attention of lawmakers. However, there comes a point when diners will consider foregoing eating out and cooking at home. For high-end dining, we'll see if diners are not prices conscious because they can afford it. It may be that the wealthy can afford to swallow the surcharge, but middle class families or singles looking for a night out-on-the-town every once in a while, may take their budgets elsewhere.
Don't be surprised though, if these restaurants reconsider labor costs altogether and look for ways to invest in automated services such as kiosks to take orders and conveyor belts to deliver food. Many fast food restaurants allow customers to pour their own drinks while sit-down restaurants have kiosks or tablets ready to take orders at the table and send them to the kitchen. Robots are increasingly replacing low-skilled manual labor, because they never need a sick day, don't need healthcare coverage, and never need a raise.

This live service was launched in the year 2017. At first, live TV was restricted to only a few locations in North America, but in 2019, the company expanded.
Now, YouTube TV is operational in 210 markets and has expanded the number of channels as well. People can now see channels like ABC, NBC, and CBS. The content that YouTube tv apk offers, is amazing.
Even though some people think that YouTube TV is part of YouTube, it is part of Google. Google operates these two things as separate entities, and there are areas where the two services cross over.
If people want to access YouTube and YouTube TV live, then they would nee two different apps on their phone.
When YouTube TV was launched, it was not compatible with many devices. However, YouTube TV is now available in 4K TVs, which are manufactured by Samsung, LG, and Sony. Even Hisense, TCL, and Vizio manufacture 4K TVs.
When 2019 was ending, Google stated that its TV streaming service has about 2 million paying subscribers, and the number continues to grow.
Supporting devices
There are many devices on which users can play YouTube TV. This is the only live TV streaming service, which users can play on PS4, as of February 1, 2020. The other devices on which you can run YouTube Live TV are as follows:
Roku OS
Features of YouTube TV live
There are many features of YouTube live, which make it an attraction for customers. The first such feature is the unlimited Cloud DVR. Even though this is a service that other live TV streaming services offer, Google gives the user a more natural experience.
With this service, Google will let you record live content, as much as you want. The content will be stored on Cloud DVR, for nine months.
This completely changes the storage dynamics, and limitations, as the competitors of Google, have imposed on users.
The main problem with the Cloud DVR feature is that it can substitute the recording of the user, with the on-demand version.
Normally, this won't be a problem, but this aspect means the user can't skip commercials.
Even though some networks listed on the YouTube tv code live list have agreed to not show commercials to the users, some don't want the users to skip ads.
The multiple users feature is more prevalent in streaming services like Netflix. However, YouTube TV also offers users to watch on multiple screens at the same time. The user can create six sub-accounts for his family, and three family members can use the service at the same time.
However, the drawback of this feature is that, if the users want to see more screens at the same time, there is no higher plan or the option to upgrade the existing plan.
Even though three streams for the same family can be sufficient, some would want more.
With other streaming services, users use profiles with only one master account. However, when someone wants to sign up for YouTube TV, then they use their Google account. This way, the user doesn't have to create a new account.
As a Google account is associated with the YouTube TV subscription, the user gets a personal experience, as compared to a streaming website.
For example, when people are using the same Netflix account, and they login to a master ID, then they can see the activity of other people as well. This is seen as a drawback of Netflix, as people get to spy on each other and see what the other person is watching.
On the other hand, YouTube TV is different and doesn't let anyone see what you are watching. This is because the user signs up from his email ID. Even though people are using the same service, but they are not using the same ID.
Like in the old times, when someone wanted to see a tv show, but couldn't stay at home, they used to put the TV on record and then leave home. The same feature is available on YouTube tv zip code but with a twist.
If some old episodes or seasons aired before the customer had a chance to record, then they can easily see the old shows with the on-demand feature. It is the best way to watch shows that you used to, but are not available on any platform anymore.
Voice Control Feature
This is a pretty cool feature on a TV streaming service. If you have a Google Home speaker, and you use a Chromecast device for watching YouTube TV, then you can use voice control functions.
You can select a TV channel and watch it live, you can start a specific show, record it, or use the playback function. All these things can now be voice-controlled, and you never have to worry about using a remote control, and finding where it is.
There is a simple method through which you can set up Chromecast and the Google Nest. First, you have to set up your Chromecast device, or you can set up the Google Nest Mini (2nd generation) device.
Then, you need to link the Chromecast with the device, using the Google Home App. As the Chromecast is now set up, you can easily control YouTube TV using voice commands. For example, you can say, 'Ok Google, Pause' and it will pause the movie or channel you are watching.
If you have an Android phone, then you can easily watch YouTube, TV, by minimizing it.
This will work on Android phones because they mostly support multitasking. However, as for iPhones, this usually not work, but if you have an iPad and it supports multitasking, then you can easily play YouTube TV on it.
Offline viewing is not available
As YouTube TV wants to bring live channels to customers, they don't allow offline viewing. This is a huge drawback of these TV services because it is supported by other services like Hulu+Live TV.
If you don't have a network connection, then that is bad news for you, because you can't download content for offline viewing.
If someone has to travel a lot, and they have a subscription to YouTube TV, then they will have to spend a fortune on mobile data charges.
Content Options for Users
YouTube TV has some of the same channels that other live services have, like At&T and SlingTV. However, the biggest difference between these services and YouTube tv download that, Google offers users all-in-one pricing.
If they don't have a channel that you want, then you are not getting your payment back or part of your payment back. However, in February 2020, Google announced that these limitations are getting smaller.
Google further announced the HBO and Cinemax are going to be added to YouTube TV ad premium add-ons later in 2020. Moreover, HBO Max will be available on the YouTube TV platform, when it is launched in May.
This is going to be a great advantage for Google when all these channels are added. This will surely give them a competitive edge over At&T TV Now and Amazon Prime Channels. Even Hulu doesn't have access to these channels.
If YouTube TV offers customers more than70 channels, then the price they are asking for a subscription would be worth it.
The channels on YouTube TV would be more than any other streaming service, and the customer will have access to more. As of January 2020, YouTube TV has the list of following channels available for the user:
ACCN
Cheddar Big News
Cheddar Business
CornetTV
There are many other big names available on YouTube TVs, like MLB Game of the Week, Freeform, Food Network, and HGTV. If a customer is getting so many choices online, and in much less price, with more content, then why won't they cut off their cable?
There are other add-ons available on YouTube TV, but the customer has to pay for these add-ons. They include AMC Premiere, CuriosityStream, Fox Soccer Plus, NBA League Pass, Showtime, Shudder, Starz, and Sundance Now.
User Interface of YouTube TV
The user interface of YouTube TV is very simple and straightforward. There are some minor changes in the interface, as software on which it is working changes.
However, most of the time the interface remains consistent, whether you run it on the console, desktop, or on your mobile device.
10 Best Tips for Using YouTube TV better
If you have brought the subscription to YouTube TV, then you need to know how to use it better.
You can use YouTube TV almost everywhere. Whether it is your Android phone, iOS tab, Chromecast, Apple TV, or Xbox One, you can watch YouTube TV anywhere.
Tabs Available on YouTube TV
There are three main tabs available on YouTube TV, library, home, and life. The library is the place where the user will find shows or sports teams they have added to their account. The library section also contains the DVR recordings of the user.
The Home tab of this app recommends shows to you, based on your past references and what you have added to your list. The Live tab shows what is happening on the channels that you can watch on YouTube TV.
Customizing the Live Tab
The live tab can easily get cluttered, and you will find live channels there, which you don't even watch. In such a case, you can change the order of the channels, or even remove some that you know you don't want to watch.
First, go to the Live tab and then select 'sort' and 'custom'. Tap on the red checkmark that you see on the screen, and then remove the channel that you don't want cluttering your Live tab.
You can drag and drop the existing channels to reorder them, by making a list of preferences. When you choose the custom list on every one of your devices, then you will no longer see the channels you have removed.
You can share your YouTube TV account with your friends and family members. Each member can make their list of favorite TV channels, set alerts when their favorite shows are live and DVR library.
To share the account with family, Simply tap on your profile photo, then settings, and choose family sharing options. You have to use a Gmail account when you first sign up on YouTube TV.
Notifications & Push Alerts
When you see a show's page on the YouTube TV app, you will see a bell icon and a plus icon. Tap the bell if you want to get push alerts of a show, that becomes available on the Live tab.
The plus icon will also add the show to your library, and you can record any episodes that you want. You don't have to manage the DVR, and YouTube TV doesn't impose any restrictions on the storage limit.
If you want to add more than 10 shows, you can easily do so.
Commercials on YouTube TV
Most of the time, when people DVR shows, they can skip commercials. The controls on YouTube tv promo code are similar compared to YouTube's video app.
For example, if you double-tap on the right side of the screen, then you can skip ahead 15 seconds.
A single tap brings up more controls that the user can benefit from, like going back 15 seconds or pausing the show completely.
With the help of the search option, you can add shows to your library and even search movies that are available on demand.
The app even lets you add shows and movies to your account DVR. Whenever you have the time or you are in the mode, you can come back and watch a movie.
If you are using YouTube TV on your computer, then there is a dark mode available on the app. In case you are using Apple TV, then the dark mode is available on it by default.
If you want to enable dark mode on your computer, then you have to first click on your profile icon, and then choose the Dark Theme option from the list of given options.
Next, you can click on the switch to the theme you want the option given. If you don't want the night theme, then you can easily disable it.
Kid-Friendly Space
Users can make YouTube TV a kid-friendly space, as it limits content for them. The older audience can enable filters to access the content.
For this, they have to first click on their profile icon, go to settings and from there, choose the filter option. They can toggle the switch to on position. When the filter is enabled, then the user will have the following choices to limit rating:
Pros of YouTube
There are so many advantages of using YouTube TV. The biggest advantage is that people don't have to pay for cable anymore, and they can get access to more channels, then they would get otherwise.
Moreover, if a person doesn't want to watch a channel, and consider it a distraction, then they can simply remove that from their YouTube TV app.
Further, people can watch TV by sharing the same subscription, and they can watch the channels, shows or movies, on different devices. If you are leaving the house, then switch off your tablet, and keep watching what you were, on your smartphone.
The best part of streaming on YouTube TV app is that if I am flawless. The buffering doesn't take much time, even if the internet speed is 13 Mbps, or even faster for HD videos.
There are 70 channels that YouTube TV offers, and there are major sports channels available as well. If someone likes to watch multiple sports, then they can do so by buying a subscription on YouTube TV.
You can get six accounts with just one subscription, and three screens can work at the same time. The voice control feature eliminates the need for remote control.
You can pick a channel, choose any playback option you want, just with your voice. This is a very attractive feature for those, who have Google Home because it functions with voice control.
The variety of videos and content that YouTube TV is adding to their database is amazing. It offers a crisp picture quality for users, and there is nothing better than having every good channel in one place.
Imagine, having live news on the go, not just from one station, but multiple stations.
Just like the YouTube app, people can delete or pause their search and watch history, if they want to hide it from others.
Moreover, if they want to spend less data on YouTube TV, then they can easily change the video quality, just like they do in the YouTube app. The video quality can go down to 360p, and this will reduce data consumption, greatly.
Cons of Using YouTube TV
YouTube TV is offering users the best platform for all their streaming needs. They are making it possible for customers to watch all the good channels in one place. However, there are some shortcomings to this TV app as well.
The current price of a one-month subscription is $50, and this is higher compared to the competitors. Moreover, even if a person doesn't watch that many channels, and only need a few, they are pretty much paying for all the channels in the list.
Even though Google has stated that YouTube TV app would be offering more content soon, but asking for such a price when they don't have HBO or PBS yet, doesn't seem like a budget-friendly option.
The offline viewing option is the biggest drawback of buying a YouTube TV subscription. Not everyone has a Wi-Fi connection with them all the time.
Unlike YouTube, the TV app doesn't let the user download shows for later viewing. If you are traveling most of the time, or don't have a 24/7 Wi-Fi connection, then this is not the right app for you.
Another problem with the YouTube tv apk for Android tv app and that is something Google should focus on, are genres. There are many genres on YouTube TV app, but the problem is that the user cannot search for these genres.
These options are only available in the search section. For example, first, they have to click on shows, then comedy and the screen will show them narrower options like dark comedy and documentary.
Verdict: To Buy or Not to Buy?
However, YouTube TV is still the best app out there, and if it adds more major entertainment channels to its list, then it can gain the upper hand. The best part of the app is that it lets you share others, but everyone logs in from their account.
This helps protect the privacy of what each family member or user is watching. It is best to get a subscription of YouTube tv app for Android tv rather than watch the same old channels on cable.
When the cable goes off because of a technical issue, the cable technician takes a lot of time to come. The hassle and the headache that the users can protect themselves from, would be an attractive thing for them.
Is YouTube TV app free?
YouTube TV is not free, and it costs $49.99 per month for users.
Is the YouTube tv app on FireStick?
YouTube TV app is not available on Firestick, and users can download it from Amazon Store if they live in the USA. However, if they live outside the USA, then the app is not supported.

However, not every Roku player is compatible with the YouTube TV service. If it is compatible, then the user can watch about 70 channels on their Roku player.
Is the YouTube TV app on LG?
If the user has an LG TV that was released in 2017 or after that, then the YouTube TV app will work on it. The main condition here is that the LG TV should be a Smart TV.

Is the YouTube Tv App on PS4?

The interesting thing here is that the people you are sharing your YouTube TV subscription with, they should be in the same location as you.
If I have DVR my shows, then can I skip the commercials?
There have been complaints from YouTube TV users, that even when they use the DVR option, they are still unable to skip the commercials.
Now, Google has made deals with several major networks, which will give customers the chance to skip commercials, when they DVR their shows. The current DVR settings let the user skip ads on both NBC and Fox.
How long do the DVR shows remain in the library of the YouTube TV app?
The DVR shows remain for 9 months in the DVR app. However, if you have watched them, and no longer need them, then the shows can be deleted as well.
If you want to view your recent recordings, then they are available at the bottom of the screen.
Do I need to use a remote for YouTube App?
The best part of the YouTube app is that it comes with a voice remote app feature.
The users can send commands to their YouTube service, with the help of Google Home speakers.
However, if someone doesn't have access to the Google Assistant device, then they can use their mobile app to get chatty with YouTube TV.
Should I buy a YouTube TV App subscription?
If you are unsatisfied with your cables and the channels you have access to, then you should buy the subscription of a YouTube TV app.
This way, you will have access to 70 channels. However, if you are buying a YouTube TV app, then you should assess your streaming needs first.
Do you have time to watch the channels that the app shows you? Do you need shows and movies that you can stream with convenience, or you need live shows?
Answering these questions will help you decide whether you need a YouTube TV app or not. Some people don't watch TV much, or they don't have the time to.
Moreover, paying $50 for TV subscription and the channels that they don't even watch, might feel a bit too much for people. AmazeInvent easy ways to help you with critical problems.
Is YouTube TV better than Hulu TV+?

However, Hulu+ Live's price is more than YouTube TV, while the former costs $54.99, the latter costs $49.99. There are no storage limits on YouTube TV DVR, but Hulu does have storage limits. This makes YouTube TV a better choice compared to Hulu+ Live.

It offers a wide range of 24-hour news networks, including BBC World News, CNBC, Fox News, and MSNBC. The latest YouTube TV channels include CNN, TNT, Adult Swimming, Cartoon Network, TRTV, and Turner Classic Movies.
Is YouTube TV a good deal?
The bottom line is that looking for a live TV streaming service to replace the YouTube TV cable television package is one of the best options.
For $ 49.99 a month, you get a lot more – a robust channel lineup, unlimited DVR, and easy-to-use app on every major platform.
Is YouTube High Definition?
Although YouTube TV supports 1080p resolution at 30 seconds per second, and up to 720p at 60 seconds per second, some channels are still not offering higher frame prices: 60fps currently on ESPN channels, Fox and Fox is limited to sports channels, and the Big Ten network so if you're watching sports, news, or conversation.
Which is better, Hulu or YouTube TV?
Bottom line: The features of these two services are quite similar, so it depends on what you get when it comes to DVR storage and simultaneous streaming.
YouTube TV has a slight edge, while Hollow On Demand offers much more in terms of content.

What is Super Mario Odyssey?
Super Mario Odyssey returns to the explorative sandbox gameplay seen in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, where Mario explores various areas in order to collect Power Moons to power the Odyssey airship to fly from kingdom to kingdom. There is no central hub world, as the Odyssey is rather used to move from one location to the others. Mario maintains his moveset from previous 3D titles, including the Triple Jump, Long Jump, Side Somersault, Back Flip, Roll, Ground Pound, Ground Pound Jump, Spin Jump, and the returning Dive.
In addition, a new character called Cappy allies with Mario, and takes possession of his cap. Mario can throw Cappy as if he were a boomerang for a long range attack, he can use Cappy as an extra platform to bypass obstacles, use Cappy in conjunction with his dive move to cross large distances, and can also "capture" certain objects and enemies to take control of them, replacing the traditional power-up system seen in the previous Super Mario games since Super Mario Galaxy. There are 52 capturable targets in total. In co-op mode, one player can control Mario and another controls Cappy.
Development for Super Mario Odyssey began right after Super Mario 3D World was released in late 2013.Miyamoto sought more senior developers and staff teams who had been involved in past 3D Mario titles, in order to really "go back to the roots" of Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario 64. As a result, Yoshiaki Koizumi was made the game's producer, and Super Mario 3D World director Kenta Motokura again took on the role of director. Miyamoto remained with a consultative role throughout development, and although he contributed a lot of feedback, he was also very accepting of the development team's ideas. Motokura revealed that early stages of development involved creating a "huge" amount of gameplay prototypes with numerous ideas, and the capture ability was one of them.
[The capture ability] was just one of the ideas that came up, but we worked on it for two or three days, and it just instantly turned into something that was really fun, and we decided [that it should be] the center of this game.
Many of the other different prototype ideas were still included, providing for the diversity in game mechanics throughout the game's stages, known as "kingdoms". These "fully realized worlds" were said to have been inspired by the Japanese hakoniwa box gardens, that bring rich landscapes to life in a miniaturized form. The size of these worlds were often adjusted to ensure that the player can regularly discover an engaging action to perform. This was also intended to allow handheld players to still accomplish a Power Moon mission, even if they have only a few minutes to play.
What do you guys think about the capture ability? What is your favorite capture?
Super Mario Odyssey's theme is highly focused on "surprises" and "travel", and the developers incorporated many of their travel experiences around the world. For instance, elements of the Sand Kingdom was derived from Kenta Motokura's experiences during a trip to Mexico, and the Luncheon Kingdom's food aesthetics was inspired by Italy and other European countries.
The developers recognized that when traveling to foreign countries, something that really has an impact is the different currencies. Therefore, they wanted to have Mario collect and use different Regional Coins in each kingdom. Since the player travels outside of the Mushroom Kingdom, the diverse art-style between all the different kingdoms aimed to recreate the feelings of surprise and discovery when visiting foreign lands. It was also noted that a lot of time was spent in getting the right balance between familiar Mario concepts, and completely new ones.
An example was the realistic T-Rex that is able to be captured by Mario. The developers looked back for inspiration from familiar Super Mario World elements in Dinosaur Land, although they wanted to use a design that was "unseen" in a Mario game. Familiar gameplay elements include the "8-bit" side-scrolling areas of the kingdoms, reminiscent to Super Mario Bros. in which progress is more "confined" and "precise". This was intended to be an engaging contrast to the 3D sandbox environments.
The developers knew that they wanted to have a city environment in the game that would resonate with players. As Donkey Kong-inspired elements in the city came about, Pauline's presence in the series inspired the team to have her be the mayor of New Donk City. Some character development for Pauline was required in her transition from a damsel in distress to a major character, and it was decided that she would have an interest in jazz. This led to the composition of the game's theme song shown in the E3 2017 trailer, titled "Jump Up, Super Star!", which was made to give the game energy and help get the audience excited.
To develop the game's camera system, the team looked at previous 3D Mario games. Miyamoto discussed how the 3D camera in Super Mario 64 worked very well, as it had the joystick as well as the C buttons to adjust the automatic camera. Super Mario Sunshine had the C stick in order to control the camera freely, although they received feedback that the camera control was "a little bit difficult". With later 3D titles such as Super Mario Galaxy, the minimal control of the camera also attracted some negative feedback. Miyamoto added that it's "very difficult to find the right balance".
With Super Mario Odyssey, we made sure that the camera controls are really really smooth and easy to use, and the Switch controllers can really serve to that. [We] really made a sandbox-style game that's really easy and feels good to control.
What Amiibo work with the game?

Super Mario Odyssey is the first ever Mario series title to receive a B rating by the CERO in Japan. All other titles released prior have been rated at A. Similarly, Super Mario Odyssey is the first Super Mario series title to receive "Everyone 10+" by ESRB in North America. All other titles released prior have been rated E.
This is the first 3D Mario game where Luigi doesn't make a physical appearance since Super Mario Sunshine.

What is Assassin's Creed Origins?
Assassin's Creed Origins is the fourth major Assassin's Creed game release in a row since Assassin's Creed Unity/Rogue to not be numbered and the 10th traditional game release. Unlike the last release, Syndicate, the game does not feature territory or unit building, but it does feature the largest map to date with tons of locations to explore. This is also the first game to be released with more than a year gap from the last major Assassin's Creed title.
Assassin's Creed Origins almost feels like Watch Dogs 2 turned into Assassin's Creed as it features a completely reworked combat system and does away with traditional eagle vision. Instead you use an actual eagle to scout for you much as you would use your drone in Watch Dogs 2. Just as in Watch Dogs 2 you can also upgrade your eagle to stun enemies for you.
Origins primarily features the character, Bayek as the main protagonist who seeks revenge from the risen leadership of Egypt for murdering his son. Without spoiling anything there are some pleasant surprises and changes to what you would expect to play in the normal free roam portion of the game.
Development started in early 2014, after the completion of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. After the launch of Assassin's Creed Syndicate in 2015, Ubisoft chose to delay the release of Origins until 2017.Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot cited a desire to focus on the quality of the individual titles, the opportunity to develop future games with new engines.
During production of Assassin's Creed III in November 2011 Ubisoft conducted a fan survey exploring potential settings for future titles. Ancient Egypt was one of the most popular choices, but Alex Hutchinson, the creative director of Assassin's Creed III, dismissed the results as he considered Ancient Egypt—as with the other two chosen settings, feudal Japan and World War II—as being "the worst choices" for a setting. The development team hired Egyptologists to assist in making the open world more accurate to the time period.
What are these microtransactions people speak of?
This is the first Assassin's Creed to feature what is basically a pay-to-win microtransaction system. You can pay real money for legendary gear or skip the grind entirely and pay for experience to level up your character.
While this is not needed to progress through the game, it does require that you do the majority of side missions and side activities in order to gain enough experience to continue with the main story missions.
When does Assassin's Creed Origins take place?
The setting for the game is 49 BCE, around the time of Cleopatra who rose to power in 41-12 BCE. While this may be initially disappointing because it is not during the Golden Age of Pharaoh's it is the time most well documented due to the occupation of the Roman Empire in Egypt. This also results in unit variety in the game with heavily roman inspired buildings and units in addition to the traditionally Egyptian ones.
The first Assassin's Creed game took place during the Third Crusade, 1191 AD.

As part of our ongoing programme of development, especially focused on 'green' issues, we are now looking at ways in which polythene is processed and recycled in the UK. Our plan is to process waste plastics to create a UK based source of high-quality regranulate – the exciting bit is that we intend to do this in a completely sustainable way, using new photo voltaic technologies.
Current waste is processed by companies like Green Star in Birmingham, and the extracted polythene is then sold and shipped to China to be processed and remanufactured into polythene products – many of which are then shipped back to the UK.
We are aiming to partner Green Star to keep and reprocess this valuable resource in the UK. Additionally we intend to partner John Hackling Ltd, part of Palletline to collect good quality waste polythene from our customers which will be washed and processed in one cycle into high-quality regranulate. We will reuse this to produce new polythene materials – helping us all avoid yet more price increases and reduce the amount of this valuable resource that is being shipped abroad.
