Each year, the total cost of substance abuse in the United States, including productivity and costs related to crime and health, reaches more than $600 billion. An estimated 21.8 million Americans age 12 or older have used an illicit drug in the last month. This estimate represents 8.7 percent of the population aged 12 or older. Illicit drugs include marijuana, hashish, cocaine (including crack), heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants or prescription drugs used without a prescription.
Slightly more than half of Americans aged 12 or older reported being current drinkers of alcohol in a recent survey (51.9%) and nearly one quarter (23.%) participated in binge drinking. This translates to about 59.6 million people. In the study, heavy drinking was reported by 6.8% of those aged 12 or older, or 17.1 million people.
In fact, an estimated 80,000 people in the United States die each year from alcohol abuse, making it the third-highest cause of death in the country.
Mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, PTSD, phobias and schizophrenia, affect one in four people and has a total economic impact of more than $317 billion each year. In fact, Americans lose 35 million wordays every year because of mental illness.About 20% of children and teens have mental disorders or problems, according to the World Health Association. More than half of all mental illness cases begin before age 14, and 75% begin by age 24.
If you or a loved one are experiencing a mental health or substance abuse problem, we encourage you to seek help right away. With treatment, many people can resume a normal and productive life.

Roaming the Countryside: Introducing BIG Student Ministries | Guatemala!
Introducing BIG Student Ministries | Guatemala!
I love these guys. This is what it looks like to seek the face of God with friends.
It is 11:08 on a Wednesday night. The alarm on my Samsung will begin playing Frodo's theme at 5:30 (because I am a dork). But I need to tell you about Big Student Ministries (BSM).
Let me be honest. I thought I knew why God was calling our family to Guatemala. Apparently I was wrong. And I am grateful. Even if I came with the wrong vision, God got me here and I am forever thankful.
I am the campus pastor of Journey Church | Guatemala. We have a youth group that we like to call Big Student Ministries. BSM is the driver of our church.
Tonight I stood as a silent observer as our BSM Team Leader, Gloria Shearer, a missionary from the great commonwealth of Kentucky, led over 90 students in an incredible time of contact with God.
She talked about our identity in Jesus, and how so many times we allow others to influence how we act. How many times we allow circumstance to dictate our reactions. Gloria challenged us to look deeper, beyond the defense mechanisms and through the masks that we wear. Our identity is found in God. We are His children. We are redeemed. Our weakness is made strong in Him. We are given authority over the enemy and we are protected against his greatest weapon. We are children of God.
The students came forward and testified. They had paper masks on which they had written the identity that the world handed them. I participated... mine said "Doubter".
They gathered in groups of 2 and 3 and confessed their "masks." Then they shared their "masks" in front of the entire group. And finally... they were given the chance to abandon those masks and claim the identity of the one who knew them while they were in their mother's wombs, who fearfully and wonderfully made them, who has a plan for their lives, the one who whispers into our souls that we are His.
They burned the masks. They claimed their identity. My own heart was inspired by their faith and action. These students are here at this place and at this time for a reason.
This summer, BSM will be raising funds right here in Guatemala through service. We will take these kids out and we will work side by side with them to extend hands to some folks who need a bit of a lift. This group of young adults get it. They are willing to make a difference.
And they are the primary driver of our church. As their numbers continue to grow, they bring their families into our Sunday morning worship gathering. I am still not sure of what plans God has for us in Guatemala... but I do know this, He is here and we are in the right place.
Big Student Ministries, the student gathering of Journey Church | Guatemala where we exist to "inspire people to live big" (John 10:10), as we connect people to Christ and the church.
Get ready BSM|Guate students, June 1, 2014 is our new kick-off! Here it comes! LIVE BIG.

Jason Momoa is teasing the release of Aquaman's first trailer tomorrow morning with a new video on social media. In Aquaman, Momoa continues to portray Arthur Curry following his first, full introduction as the underwater superhero in 2017's Justice League.
He's a man who is half-human and half-Atlantean. While he's known as the King of Atlantis in the comics, he's not yet king in the movies. First, he must find King Atlan's Trident. Curry will go on a quest that will bring him face to face with his new Atlantean allies, as well as some new foes. He must defeat those who would harm his people, gain the trident, and become the King that he is.
This week saw an influx of new information about the Aquaman movie, including details about the plot thanks to the embargo lifting on the movie's set visit reports. Producers also cleared up a misconception about Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice promotional materials, specifically the "Unite the Seven" tagline. When that phrase first emerged, many fans assumed that a seventh Justice League member would join the DCEU, with many speculating that it was Green Lantern. It turns out that the "seven" mentioned in the marketing had nothing to do with the lead up to Justice League, but rather everything to do with Aquaman. The seven are the seven oceanic armies that Aquaman will need to unite to rule Atlantis and protect them from their enemies.
Aquaman comic book fans need not fear that their hero will change a lot in the film. Director James Wan has already said that the movie will shape Arthur Curry into the character from the comics, one that fans will recognize and love. He will become King of Atlantis and reign over that realm. So, there is obviously a lot of hype and anticipation surrounding the release of the film's first trailer. The DC movie universe doesn't exactly have an excellent track record with its films, but this one has potentially even more hype than those that came before it, save for maybe Wonder Woman. The Aquaman trailer needs to live up to that hype so that fans can get excited about seeing Arthur in his first solo adventure.

A: You should not subscribe in the service. It will only return a subscription object not data.
  fetchData(){
      return this.http.get('assets/page-content.json').map(
        (response) => response.json()
      )
  }

And in your
PageContentComponent.ts,
maybe in ngOnInit,
export class PageContentComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(private newService: MyDataService) { }
  posts = '';
  ngOnInit() {
    this.newService.fetchData().subscribe(data=>{
      this.posts = data;
    });
  }
}

And finally in you html,

Hector is a high-level client API for Apache Cassandra. Named after Hector, a warrior of Troy in Greek mythology, it is a substitute for the Cassandra Java Client, or Thrift, that is encapsulated by Hector. It also has Maven repository access.

History
As Cassandra is shipped with the low-level Thrift (protocol), there was a potential to develop a better protocol for application developers. Hector was developed by Ran Tavory as a high-level interface that overlays the shortcomings of Thrift. It is licensed with the MIT License that allows to use, modify, split and change the design.

Features
The high-level features of Hector are

 A high-level object oriented interface to Cassandra: It is mainly inspired by the Cassandra-java-client. The API is defined in the Keyspace interface.
 Connection pooling. As in high-scale applications, the usual pattern for DAOs is a large number of reads/writes. It is too expensive for clients to open new connections with each request. So, a client may easily run out of available sockets, if it operates fast enough. Hector provides connection pooling and a nice framework that manages the details.
 Failover support: As Cassandra is a distributed data store where hosts (nodes) may go down. Hector has its own failover policy.

 JMX support: Hector exposes JMX for many important runtime metrics, such as number of available connections, idle connections, error statistics.
 Load balancing: A simple load balancing exists in the newer version.
 Supports the command design pattern to allow clients to concentrate on their business logic and let Hector take care of the required plumbing.

Availability metrics

Hector exposes availability counters and statistics through JMX.

Load balancing

Hector follows two load balancing policies with the LoadBalancingPolicy interface. The default is called   RoundRobinBalancingPolicy and is a simple round-robin distribution algorithm. The LeastActiveBalancingPolicy routes requests to the pools having the lowest number of active connections, ensuring a good spread of utilisation across the cluster. .

Pooling

The ExhaustedPolicy determines how the underlying client connection pools are controlled. Currently, three options are available:

Code examples
As an example, an implementation of a simple distributed hashtable over Cassandra is listed.
 /**
   * Insert a new value keyed by key
   * @param key Key for the value
   * @param value the String value to insert
   */
  public void insert(final String key, final String value) throws Exception {
    execute(new Command(){
      public Void execute(final Keyspace ks) throws Exception {
        ks.insert(key, createColumnPath(COLUMN_NAME), bytes(value));
        return null;
      }
    });
  }

  /**
   * Get a string value.
   * @return The string value; null if no value exists for the given key.
   */
  public String get(final String key) throws Exception {
    return execute(new Command(){
      public String execute(final Keyspace ks) throws Exception {
        try {
          return string(ks.getColumn(key, createColumnPath(COLUMN_NAME)).getValue());
        } catch (NotFoundException e) {
          return null;
        }
      }
    });
  }

  /**
   * Delete a key from cassandra
   */
  public void delete(final String key) throws Exception {
    execute(new Command(){
      public Void execute(final Keyspace ks) throws Exception {
        ks.remove(key, createColumnPath(COLUMN_NAME));
        return null;
      }
    });
  }

What is the biggest laser in the world?
The largest laser in the world is located at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California. This laser is so large that it covers the size of three football fields! The scientists who use this giant laser for their research are hoping to show that a nuclear fusion reaction (see "Nuclear Chemistry") can be controlled and used as a source of energy. If that's possible, it could revolutionize the way power plants make energy.

Can GSA's 18F succeed where 3 other ID management projects have struggled?
Jason Miller@jmillerWFED
When the General Services Administration's 18F organization announced it was taking on the long-standing challenge of identity authentication and credentialing for government services, my first thought was "here we go again."
Another group thinking they could find the answer to a challenge that three other attempts before them struggled to come up with.
It's not a matter of building the killer app for citizens, and eventually businesses and other government organizations, to securely log into...
Listen to Jason Miller on Federal Drive with Tom Temin http://federalnewsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/052416_Jason_web.mp3
It's not a matter of building the killer app for citizens, and eventually businesses and other government organizations, to securely log into federal services, but it's building an online approach that people trust, find easy to use and recognizes and uses existing private sector practices.
Through Login dot gov, 18F plans to build a platform for users who need to log in to government services. They say they plan to work with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Office of Management and Budget and GSA's Federal Acquisition Service.
Insight by Rancher Government Solutions: How can agencies take advantage of containers securely? We find out by talking with software development experts at FAA, NASA, Carnegie Mellon's Software Engineering Institute and Rancher Government Solutions for our exclusive ebook on securing containerized applications. | Download it now!
"Every consumer-facing service the government offers will benefit from this platform, enhancing the privacy and security of online interactions for the public and for agencies," 18F wrote in its blog post. "To build this login platform, we're using modern, user-friendly, strong authentication and effective identity proofing technology. This new platform will leverage the extensive lessons we've gained from agency efforts in the past, including lessons learned from our counterparts in the UK who built GOV.UK Verify."
And there are a lot of past history lessons to learn from.
Most recently, GSA and the Postal Service teamed on developing the Connect dot gov platform. A GSA spokeswoman confirmed the Connect dot gov pilot would be ending. The Postal Service declined to comment on the status of Connect dot gov.
Another recent pilot that is ending is the MyUSA platform, started in 2014 by 18F as an approach to register, sign-in and manage digital interactions with the government.
Before these two tests, GSA also tried to solve the identity management puzzle through an initiative called E-Authentication in the 2000s, and in the late 1990s through something called the Federal Bridge—both found minimal success in making it easier for agencies to adopt secure, online transactions.
An industry expert, who requested anonymity because their company does government business, said the fact this type of effort has struggled greatly over the past 15 years should be a warning sign 18F should consider.
"It looks like they are trying to create their own identity credentialing effort and it's unclear if they will use third party credentials," the source said. "Maybe a government option is good, but not if it's the only option. I think the focus on the government to citizen is good where Connect dot gov was doing every part of the sector. My concern is what information are they collecting and keeping and secure with safeguards around it."
Read more: Reporter's Notebook
The source said agencies were starting to use Connect dot gov at lower levels of security so this is almost like starting over again, which is frustrating for many agencies.
A GSA spokesperson said part of the reason for the new project is Connect dot gov was too hard to use.
"Connect.gov and MyUSA were platforms that were built as pilots to determine how we could best solve the identity problems for both the public and for individual agencies," said a GSA spokesperson in an email to Federal News Radio. "Both of those pilots are coming to a close and have allowed us to learn how to build an identity platform to scale. The pilots and the identity solutions within individual agencies have both given us a great starting point, and we expect to continue to learn and iterate as we build the next generation identity platform."
Jeremy Grant, the former director of the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) program and now a managing director with the Chertoff Group, said he's hopes GSA's efforts succeed.
"Connect dot gov was never about a technology, it was about the idea that citizens should not have to prove that they are not a 'dog on the Internet' every time they go online, and that by solving that problem, government could enable agencies to launch a new wave of high value digital services for the American people," he said. "The next wave of digital government applications can't happen without this."
Grant may have highlighted the biggest reason why 18F will be successful or could fail.
18F must go against its reputation—deserved or not—that its developers believe everything that came before them was "crap" and they are the smartest people in the room.
Whether it's Connect dot gov or the 2011 memo from former federal CIO Steve VanRoekel calling for agencies to take advantage of third-party credentials, 18F should build on the existing infrastructure, policy and understandings that agencies hold.
Remember it's not just citizens who have to find Login dot gov easy, but agencies have to accept it too.
The GSA spokesperson said 18F wants to use third-party credentials, but is unsure of its plan yet.
"We're evaluating the right way to use this feature but want to make sure it doesn't confuse people," the spokesperson said. "Previous attempts at using third party credential providers by Connect dot gov led to user confusion. We're making these decisions to maximize security, usability, and privacy."
Grant said the use of third-party credentials was as key success factor in the United Kingdom's initiative.
"That enabled them to build a great partnership with the private sector to deliver the program. In the U.S., GSA has recently pivoted from this approach – I'm now getting a lot of questions from the firm's that had gone through the exhaustive and expensive process GSA established for getting their solutions accredited for government use," he said. "The private sector partners are asking whether they are still partners, whether there is still a place for them in this government identity ecosystem. In the UK, they know where they stand; in the US, not so much now. GSA may have reasons for this, but when a decision is made to change horses midstream — abandoning their original approach — that equates to a conscious decision to push back delivery of a real solution agencies can use to start offering more high value, citizen-facing digital applications."
18F also has to get buy-in from several agencies quickly to spread the Login dot gov concept across a wide breadth of users because if vendors see agencies heading down their own paths with online transactions, traction will be minimal.
This factor was an important success metric for the U.K. Grant said in the U.K., the Prime Minister's office empowered the Government Digital Service team to shut down any programs that duplicated their efforts.
"In contrast, in the US, while the White House indicated that all agencies should use the shared service, there has not been any real consequences for agencies that go their own way," Grant said. "So U.S. efforts depended more on a 'coalition of the willing' when it comes to agencies adopting this approach. And that makes things go slower."
So the other key ingredient is how much political capital OMB is willing to spend on this project?
The GSA spokeswoman said 18F plans to integrate multiple agencies to the platform by the end of this year.
One positive aspect of the program is 18F is smart enough not to try to "eat the apple in one bite" and go after only the citizen-to-government piece first. But at the same time, it's also the biggest hurdle to overcome to gain the trust and use of the platform.
Maybe the business-to-government portion would be a better starting place as there is a larger degree of trust and comfortability of sharing information between the two sectors.
Really no matter the path 18F takes, it's clear if they do not understand and listen to those who have come before them and failed, they too will suffer the same fool's fate.

Chicago Blackhawks Rumors
Projected 2020-21 NHL Central Division Standings Under Realignment
With the Canadian border expected to remain closed to the United States due to COVID-19 restrictions, the NHL will likely be forced to construct an all-Canadian division for the 2020-21 regular season. This realignment would substantially shake up each of the NHL's four current divisions, as the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Winnipeg Jets would only be able to face off against each other.
At the moment, the NHL is looking at a Central Division that would include the Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, Detroit Red Wings, Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators, Pittsburgh Penguins, St. Louis Blues, and Tampa Bay Lightning. Only Chicago, Nashville, and St. Louis would remain in the division. The Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, and Minnesota Wild are expected to move to the Western Division, while the Jets will join the six other teams north of the border in the Canadian Division.
A realignment of the Central Division would not do the Blackhawks any favors. Not only would they have to face the defending Stanley Cup champion Lightning more often, but the Penguins, Blue Jackets, and Panthers are three competitive teams that will be in contention for a playoff spot next season. In a normal year, the Central would have been tough enough. Now, four of the past five teams to win the Stanley Cup are in the same division. Great. The only positive takeaway from the realignment is the return of the Blackhawks-Red Wings rivalry, which, sadly, will not be nearly as intense as the early to mid-2010s.
Here are my projections of the final Central Division standings for the 2020-21 regular season under a realignment:
1. Tampa Bay Lightning
2. St. Louis Blues
3. Pittsburgh Penguins
4. Columbus Blue Jackets
5. Nashville Predators
6. Florida Panthers
7. Chicago Blackhawks
8. Detroit Red Wings
A couple of months removed from winning the Stanley Cup, the Lightning have all of their core players returning to the team in 2020-21, not to mention captain Steven Stamkos coming back from injury. Tampa Bay had enough depth to win the Cup last season without their superstar captain. That is scary to think about. Nikita Kucherov, Victor Hedman, Brayden Point, and Andrei Vasilevskiy all will be back next year, along with a majority of their championship roster. Defensemen Kevin Shattenkirk and Zach Bogosian are their only two (semi) significant losses this offseason. The Lightning are poised to be fighting for the Stanley Cup once again in 2020-21, and by the looks of their roster, they will have a strong shot to repeat. I expect them to cruise through the regular season and come out on top of the Central Division.
St. Louis came out of the COVID-19 pause flat and fell to the young Vancouver Canucks in the first round of the 2020 postseason. However, prior to the pandemic, the Blues coasted through their opponents and were the top team in the Western Conference, even without stud goal-scorer Vladimir Tarasenko. Captain Alex Pietrangelo is no longer around after he "got the bag" this offseason from the Vegas Golden Knights, but the Blues countered by signing veteran blue-liner Torey Krug to a seven-year deal in free agency. Ryan O'Reilly, Colton Parayko, and most of their other core pieces from the 2019 Stanley Cup team are still around, and if Jordan Binnington can get hot, the Blues will be a difficult team to beat. It will be tough with Tarasenko once again expected to miss a huge portion of the season, but St. Louis has the depth to put a run together without him. The Blues are locked in as the second-best team in this realigned Central Division.
Since winning back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016-17, the Penguins have been a middle-of-the-pack team in the Eastern Conference. Similar to the Blackhawks, most of their superstar core remains intact, but the depth pieces have not been able to provide enough support. As a result, Pittsburgh brought in Jason Zucker, Kasperi Kapanen, Michael Matheson, and Cody Ceci to give the team a new look this season. With Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin still leading the charge up front, plus a healthy Jake Guentzel, scoring should not be an issue for the Pens. Kris Letang, John Marino, Marcus Pettersson, and Brian Dumoulin — along with Matheson and Ceci — will give Pittsburgh a solid defensive group as well. The starting goaltender position has been a question mark since Marc-Andre Fleury was selected by Vegas in the Expansion Draft, and with Matt Murray now signed to Ottawa, the Penguins will turn to Tristan Jarry in net. If Jarry can rise to the occasion, the Pens will be a top team in the Central Division. If goaltending is a problem though, they will struggle to keep up with elite teams. I expect an up-and-down season for both Jarry and the Penguins in 2020-21.
Despite losing Artemi Panarin, Sergei Bobrovskiy, AND Matt Duchene in free agency, the Blue Jackets were tied for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference in 2019-20 before the COVID-19 pause. No matter what the roster looks like, Jackets head coach John Tortorella always seems to get the absolute most out of his team. Columbus did not make much noise during free agency, but they did trade Josh Anderson to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Max Domi, which should help them offensively. Seth Jones and Zach Werenski are back to anchor the defense, while Cam Atkinson, Gustav Nyquist, and captain Nick Foligno will lead the offense. A contract still needs to be worked out with Pierre-Luc Dubois, but a deal is expected to be reached. The strength of Columbus down the stretch last season came from their two goaltenders, Elvis Merzlikins and Joonas Korpisalo. There were rumors that Columbus was going to trade one of the two this offseason, but they decided to hold onto both. If Merzlikins and Korpisalo can play how they did in the second half of last season, the Blue Jackets are going to surprise a lot of teams in 2020-21. I don't expect them to compete for the Stanley Cup, but I do think they will be a playoff contender in the Central Division.
After dismantling the top-seeded Blackhawks in the first round of the 2017 postseason, the Predators went on a two-year run where they were arguably the top team in the Western Conference. Nashville was on the cusp of greatness, but they now have not won a playoff series since 2018 and appear to be heading in the wrong direction. They still have plenty of talent with Ryan Johansen, Filip Forsberg, Viktor Arvidsson, and captain Roman Josi, but the Duchene signing has been a flop so far, and goaltender Pekka Rinne is on a rapid decline. The pieces are there for the Predators to be competitive in 2020-21, but they lack enough depth to be a legitimate Stanley Cup contender. Nashville will be in the middle of the pack next season.
The biggest wildcard of the group, the Panthers could slot anywhere from third to seventh in the Central Division. They have plenty of superstar talent on offense with Aleksander Barkov and Jonathan Huberdeau, and while Aaron Ekblad has not quite lived up to the hype of a No. 1 overall pick, he has grown into a solid top-pairing defenseman next to veteran Keith Yandle. The addition of Bobrovsky in goal did not go as planned last season, but he is still one of the best in the business and should bounce back. What will dictate the Panthers' success next season in my opinion is their depth scoring department. Forwards Noel Acciari, Brett Connolly, and Frank Vatrano played well last season, but Evgenii Dadonov's departure leaves a big hole for those players to fill. Florida brought in Patric Hornqvist, Alexander Wennberg, and former Blackhawk Vinnie Hinostroza to help address this issue, but I do not think it will be enough to swing the Panthers into a playoff spot. Regardless, Florida is one of those weird teams that could hit a hot stretch and catapult themselves near the top of the division. I do not expect that to happen, but I would not be surprised if it did.
*sigh* The fact of the matter is that the Blackhawks lost Brandon Saad and Corey Crawford this offseason, and it will be very difficult to compete with the top teams in the league with those spots still empty. The Blackhawks were bad with Saad and Crawford. If you are having trouble imagining life without them, just wait until the 2020-21 regular season. It may not be pretty. All jokes aside, the Blackhawks are now openly committed to their youth, which will result in a lot of new faces getting an opportunity to play next year. Of course, the Blackhawks would love to make the postseason, but that is not their goal at the moment. The goal is now about developing the young players properly to try and become a Stanley Cup contender once again. The wins and losses in 2020-21 will not dictate success for the Chicago Blackhawks. With that mentality, you can expect the Blackhawks to be near the bottom of the standings in the Central Division.
The rebuilding process has been an absolute disaster in Detroit, but finally, the light at the end of the tunnel is starting to peak out. Filip Zadina should be a full-time NHLer next season and will help Dylan Larkin and Anthony Mantha tremendously on offense. Michael Rasmussen and Joe Veleno are two other young forwards that could provide a spark, and defenseman Moritz Seider is a year closer in his development and may even crack the Wings' lineup at some point. The tough part for Detroit is the rest of their NHL roster. Darren Helm and Valterri Filppula will finally be off the payroll at the end of this season, but they will be regulars in Detroit's lineup once again. As will Frans Nielsen, who has two years remaining on his current deal. Once Detroit is able to shed those horrendous contracts, they will have plenty of money to give Larkin, Mantha, and co. adequate help. Until that point, the Red Wings will be a bottom-feeder in the NHL. I expect Detroit to finish last in any division they play in next season.

Discussion in 'HardForum Tech News' started by AlphaAtlas, Oct 10, 2018.
Coinciding with the wider availability of the Magic Leap One, Weta Workshop showed off a new trailer for "Dr. Grordbort's Invaders" at L.E.A.P. Con. The game will be available for free, and is rumored to include some sort of multiplayer functionality. More info should be coming out of L.E.A.P. Con soon, for those who are interested. The Magic Leap's app store is relatively empty at this point, but developers did show off an Angry Birds trailer last month.
The magic of LuminOS planes and meshing API makes Dr. Grordbort's Invaders fully interact with your world. Robots come through the walls, the floor - even from behind your couch. And with the GPU and CPU engine generating hyper-real visuals, every Probebot, Simpletron and Thugmobot will have you feeling like you're really surrounded.
It appears to be very low-res with lousy animation and a very narrow FOV. It's "all gameplay footage captured on the device, except for that bit at the end"...the last bit being the last minute of a 1:50 video which was clearly far superior quality CGI not obtained from the device.
If they want to properly show off this tech they'll have someone in a space and demonstrate how the games adapt whenever they randomly jumble the furniture around and create a new environment. A heavily scripted (and short) video is not gonna cut it, especially with the device selling for $2300 or whatever.
This looks so interactive and thrilling. It's totally something to do at a party just like it shows in the advert. This is as good of an advert as that Nintendo Switch add were people are playing basketball, stop sit down, pull out switches and start to play basketball on their Nintendo switchs, side by side, with their friends rather than ...play...basketball.
From the perspective of the girl eating popcorn, wouldn't she be bored as hell basically eating popcorn and staring at a guy with a headset on waving his hands around going "OMG, this is so cool!". She can't see any of the AR crap b/c she has no headset. So she's basically watching a grown man walk back/forth and point his hand or palm at a wall while wearing funny looking glasses. Pretty sure, if you took that bowl of popcorn to your local mental health institution and sat down on a couch there, you'd have an almost identical experience.
I suspect if anything, the guy making dinner in the background and the girl eating the popcorn are going to wind up being together while the AR guy spends all night pointing at the wall and ending up forever alone.
AR for gaming is pretty stupid. I wish they would quit trying to make it happen, it's never gonna happen. They should focus instead on making AR actually useful...medical applications, navigation, pulling up additional information on products when you are shopping, etc. There are plenty of truly useful applications here, but instead, we get...this...fail.

Dancing is socially in-scripted with norms and rules. The way a person engages with other person's body while dancing, says much about their relationship, comfort and trust between them.
What happens when you ask a stranger to dance with you, in a non-dancing space with no music? I invited the visitors of The Walker Arts Center to dance with me. I wanted to open the space of The Walker as a place for experimentation, play and movement. The dancing aimed to break the purity of the white cube, by allowing the visitor to appropriate the space to their dancing needs. The projects was about intimacy, vulnerability, and how the context of the museum affected the relationship that was built while dancing.


Growth After Hair Transplantation ?
Does transplanted hair grow after hair transplantation operation? How long do they grow? Would it look natural as it grows?
Transplanted hair is your very own hair, and you can grow it however you like. Natural appearance issue depends on person. If the hair transplantation frequency is sufficient, there will be natural appearance.
Would there be any scars from FUE hair transplantation? Is it fully non-scarring operation?
FUE hair transplantation is a surgical operation that leaves no visible scars behind. It is normal to have a scar after every surgery. Your FUE hair transplantation operation performed by a plastic surgeon will leave no visible scars and natural look behind.
I was told that my donor site was insufficient according to tests. How long am I supposed to wait for hair cloning?
It is possible to have some improvements on hair cloning in next two or three years.
I gave a birth 4 months ago. I had hair loss on top of my head and it still continues. Can I have my old appearance through hair transplantation?
Assuming that you are on breastfeeding stage, it is still early for you to have hair transplantation. First of all, it is essential for you to complete breastfeeding stage and search for the hair loss reasons. We suggest you to learn about alternative treatment methods beside hair transplantation from our doctors.

'Arrow' meets Flash: Producers reveal tidbits about how it'll happen
By By Patrick Kevin Day
| This post has been corrected. See note at the bottom for details. |
The Flash, drawn here by Francis Manapul, will make some appearances on the CW's "Arrow" next season, but he'll start as his not-so-fast alter-ego, Barry Allen. (DC Entertainment)
After a season of keeping their superhero action grounded and (relatively) realistic, the producers of "Arrow" are set to give the series a super-powered boost with the introduction of the lightning-quick hero the Flash.
The character's introduction will set up a possible spinoff series about the Flash, but according to executive producer Andrew Kreisberg and writer Geoff Johns, in the Flash's first two appearances on the CW show he'll just be forensic scientist Barry Allen.
"He's an ordinary man when we meet him" in the season's eighth episode, Kreisberg told reporters on Tuesday at the Television Critics Assn. press tour. "We wanted to keep it as grounded and realistic as possible.... Before life got a little faster."
VIDEO: Summer 2013 TV preview
Though the role has not been cast yet, and producers are looking at both big names and no-names, it's expected that Allen will appear in episodes eight and nine and again in episode 20 of "Arrow's" second season. It's in episode 20, to be directed by noted TV director David Nutter (he directed the "Red Wedding" episode of "Game of Thrones"), that Allen is expected to get his superpowers and the world of the "Flash" spinoff series will be established.
And while producers have played around with the name of Oliver Queen's hooded vigilante character, they're not disguising Allen's status as a full-blown superhero.
"At the end of the day, the character will go by the Flash and will wear a red costume. No sweat suits or code names. He will be the Flash," Johns said.
Johns, who wrote the character for DC Comics for a time, said they were looking at the current "Flash" comic book, drawn by Francis Manapul, for inspiration for just how the Flash's super-speed would be dramatized on-screen.
RELATED: More comic coverage by The Times
"It won't be blurring around," Johns said of the Flash effect.
Despite the news and excitement surrounding the addition of a new DC Universe character to "Arrow," Kreisberg says they're not doing this as a gimmick. They're really trying to tell the best story possible and keep it focused on the character.
"There's something very relatable about Barry. He got his powers by accident. He's not a god. He's not an alien. He didn't seek these powers out," Kreisberg said.
"Oliver Queen is a very dark and tortured soul. And Barry is not. It will be a fun byplay to see these two characters together."
[For the Record, 11:51 a.m. PDT July 31: An earlier version of this online article and its accompanying caption incorrectly spelled the name of the Flash comic-book artist. He is Francis Manapul, not Francis Manpaul.]

Are you ready for Green GB Week?
On the 10th anniversary of the Climate Change Act, this week marks the start of Green GB Week, led by Minister of State for Energy and Clean Growth, Claire Perry MP.
Green GB week aims to bring both businesses and communities together to celebrate the UK leadership on climate change and discover new solutions and technologies to tackle climate change - one of the biggest challenges in the world today.
Since 1990, the UK has cut their emissions by over 40%, with clean growth placed at forefront of both the governments Industrial Strategy and Clean Growth Strategy
Clean Growth
Clean growth is a term used widely in the media. But what does it mean?
Simply put 'clean growth' is all about growing our national income, whilst still cutting our greenhouse gas emissions. The UK's early action on clean growth has lead to a vast increase in low carbon technologies with this sector supporting over 400, 000 jobs with no signs of slowing down.
In 2018, the UK produced enough electricity without burning coal for a record-breaking 76 hours which is a landmark step for the UK and our commitment to tackling climate change.
"Our goal is to leave our environment in a better state than we inherited it, and I'm proud to say that the UK has led the world in tackling one of the greatest threats – climate change." - Claire Perry
For more information on Green GB week and upcoming events, please visit the Green GB & NI Website

Compact Energy Storage System VARTA pulse Now Shipping in the UK with String of Successful Installs
Elland, UK: After a successful UK launch, the smart energy storage system - the VARTA pulse is now ready for shipment to the UK as part of an exclusivity agreement between German based VARTA Storage and Waxman Energy of Elland in West Yorkshire.
After successful installations across five UK test sites, the first VARTA pulse was installed in a self-built project located in the Ulster countryside in Cumbria. Home to Bill and Sharon Tyrer, the project features a 6kw roof PV array and benefits from a south facing roof meaning that his chosen 'VARTA pulse 6' is often full by 10am. In the first 13 days of install alone, Bill and his wife had only purchased 17p from the grid.
Speaking of the first VARTA Storage install, Bill Tyrer said:
"The installation was straightforward and included intuitive software which allows me to take control of my energy usage by monitoring generation, feed in, self-consumption and grid consumption. Instantly after installation, I found that I increased my self-consumption and can see for 6 months of the year I can be grid independent, hence reducing my electricity expenditure"
With over 130 years of battery expertise and significant investment into product development, VARTA Storage has always been one step ahead with an unparalleled desire to excel in safety, quality and reliability. The VARTA pulse 3 & 6 is no exception and features an integrated multi-stage safety concept.
As well as being safe, the VARTA pulse line is also smart, providing seamless integration with smart homes, e-mobility and data logging. Benefiting from an open system, users have total freedom and flexibility with the reassurance that the pulse will work with their existing products.
Steve Saunders, Key Account Manager for VARTA Storage UK said,
"It was great to meet Bill and his wife Sharon and to witness first-hand how they were using the pulse system to maximise their self-consumption from their own generated energy - leading to huge savings.
Bill's company "Dalliam" were used for installation work during the UK testing phase with Bill being so impressed with the storage system, he purchased a pulse 6 on release day for his own self-build project - what a great seal of approval for pulse"
Wall mountable and adjustable, the VARTA pulse is available in two capacity sizes; 3.3 kWh and 6.5 kWh and measures just 60 x 69 x 18.6 centimetres, making the unit perfectly suited to domestic environments where space is limited.
Its compact size allows for a fast one-man install, setting it apart from its competitors. Coupled with a European support base and 10-year warranty, the pulse is the perfect choice for those who wish to generate, store and monitor their own energy with full control.
The VARTA pulse is available for purchase by contacting Waxman Energy directly or online

STA Investigates the Benefits of Solar Today
As shared on the Solar Trade Association's website, Angela Terry, founder of One Home: Positive Solutions gives her thoughts on why now is the best time to revive the domestic solar installation market:
The prices of solar panels have plummeted, however, consumers are not aware of efficiency improvements or that the cost of an average installation has fallen to around £5,000.
Blazing hot summers are increasing the direct association in people's minds to the power of renewable energy to reduce increasing energy bills.
Women, in particular, are increasingly looking for ethical investments that provide a good return.
The future of mobility is electric and the synergy of solar for charging electric cars is key.
Crucially, the impacts of climate change are dramatically increasing. This environmental awakening will only grow as extreme weather events intensify.

Q: Navigation Bar Style on Modal View When I create a modal view with a Navigation Controller I'm unable to set the navigation bar style to be opaque. I must mention that I'm presenting the modal view from another Navigation Controller. Here's the code I'm talking about:
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
                                       initWithRootViewController:detailedViewController];
[navController setModalPresentationStyle: UIModalPresentationFullScreen];
[navController setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];

//also tried [navController navigationBar] setOpaque:YES]; with no luck
navController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
[self presentViewController:navController animated:YES completion:nil];

There should be something I'm missing and I'm unable to see, so any help will be great!!
Thanks in advance :)

A: Set navigationBar.translucent to NO.  If that is not working for you make sure to call [navController loadViews] since they may not load them until you present them.

A: Finally I solved the problem. That had to do with the fact that I was using actually two navigation controllers and the code I put on my original was using the second nested navigation controller.
At this point, I suppose that I have two options, maintain the nesting navController and configure it correctly or, the one I choose, get rid of the second navController, use the main one and push my customView into the first navController.
Thanks all of you for your help!!


Last Monday I shared with you a few notable signs that you might be a multipotentialite and today I'm going to tell you why I think that NOW is a great time to be one!
From short day-long courses, to Open University degrees, via online learning and mobile phone apps, there are SO many new ways to learn these days. I'm going to list a few of my favourites in another post, but suffice to say, if there's something you want to learn, there is probably a way you can do it around your other responsibilities. Learning just for the sake of it is exciting enough for a multipotentialite, but it can also be helpful when it comes to getting skills needed for career changes.
Opportunities for short term contracts.
More and more organisations are employing people on short-term, fixed contracts rather than permanent roles. This especially applies when projects are created and delivered using grant funding, which is always time-limited. If you're the kind of person who enjoys change, this kind of working will suit you really well. Starting new projects is always more exciting for multi-passionate folk than doing the same thing forever.
And as far as security goes, Emma Cossey has reassured me that a freelance career can provide as much security as an employed position. You're only one notice period away from losing a job, after all, and a freelancer often has more than one client at once, meaning that if they lose one, there are others still around to help pay those bills.
As multipotentialites love to learn, they're quite often early-adopters; first to learn new technology. This means that they can position themselves as experts. New media is a great example of a way in which multipotentialites can create a role for themselves within their organisation.
Portfolio careers. These are great for multipotentialites. They're really just a fancy way of saying that you do several things part time, instead of one full time job. Those part time roles can be completely different, giving you the chance to try several careers at once, or completely different jobs at the same time. I'd really like to do a part time practical job and a part time writing job; that'd be a dream portfolio career for me!
Blogging is a great hobby or career for a multipotentialite. Bloggers need to understand lots of different things, from SEO to photography. If you're blogging as a career, there is also the need to understanding marketing, accounts and PR. And that's before we even think about the writing content and specialist subjects of your blog!
As the world, for a variety of reasons, is again becoming more open to the idea of people having more than one career, changing jobs, or switching directions, now is a great time to embrace being a multipotentialite and taking advantage of your strengths in a changing world.
For more mulitpotentialite resources and support, I really recommend Puttylike.
4 Responses to Why now is a great time to be a multipotentialite.
I remember feeling quite relieved when I read Barbara Sher's book – I think it was called What Do I Do When I Want to Do Everything? I suddenly felt that all my tendencies to get super interested in a million and one things was actually ok!
It is an important book to pass on – as soon as I finished it, I put it aside for a friend.
I've lent my copy out to a few people, but always asked for it back, because I would feel lost without it – and it's a small fortune to buy on AbeBooks these days! Though I think 'Refuse to Choose' is the same book with a different title.
