Top Five Games like Football Manager
Anthony Coyle
Football Manager 2016 is a popular addition to the sports management genre. If you have not heard of that gaming genre then it mostly focuses on creating and managing a team while handling business concerns and other issues inside and outside the roster. You are responsible for the tactics and strategies of your team and when they play you only get to watch as the action unfolds.
Sports management games are mostly text-heavy with a lot of micromanagement and a minimal amount of animation or graphics so it may turn off those who are new to the scene. But if you decide to invest many hours in persevering through a steep learning curve then you are rewarded with a rich and detailed gaming experience like no other.
However if you are already a veteran and on the hunt for a different game like Football Manager 2016 then check out this list we have made for you:
Top Five Games like Football Manager 2016
Total Extreme Wrestling 2013
As a kid you probably fantasized about being a wrestler. But maybe some of you fantasized about managing a roster of wrestlers. Total Extreme Wrestling 2013 fulfills the dreams of those who wanted to become the next Vince McMahon.
Total Extreme Wrestling 2013 was originally a text-based game named Extreme Warfare way back in 1995. As the years passed by it evolved with new features and its name was changed into the one we know now. It is still heavily-reliant on text so you won't see wrestlers fighting on a ring.
The game puts you in the shoes of a promoter as you do your best to run the business smoothly. You will book matches, scout for talents, and negotiate with people of different personalities. Wrestlers each have their own long list of categories that define how well they do in the squared circle. You'll have to individually check them to determine how to make the most out of your growing roster of talent. There are also instances of backstage drama whose outcomes might affect the business itself.
Total Extreme Wrestling 2013 provides a deep gameplay thanks to its incredible amount of detail and options. However this might overwhelm new players especially as the tutorial does not cover everything in the game. If you want to use real life wrestlers and companies then you can download mods in the game's forum. The 2016 version is currently on the works and is reported to be released sometime in May. It is up for grabs on Steam for $19.99.
While Football Manager 2016 and other sports simulation games make you handle entire teams, Punch Club focuses only on one boxer for you to train and manage. It also adds a dash of RPG to the mix.
The game actually has a plot wherein the protagonist is on the hunt for his father's killer. You'll help him achieve this by training him while juggling other responsibilities. Yes that's right, aside from hitting the gym you have to shop for healthy meals and visit your girlfriend. You also need to make money by working on a job as many activities in the game require some cash. These are all separated in different locations on a world map. Random encounters and quests are also a thing here.
As you grow stronger your attributes increase and you get to unlock moves from a skill tree. These are utilized in an AI-controlled fight where losing might end you up with an injury. The attributes can also deteriorate when you do not take care of them so train hard but do not overdo it or else they will decline faster. It is actually possible to get stuck at some point of the game if you're doing things wrong thus warranting a full restart.
Punch Club freshens up the simulation genre with role-playing elements and some amount of humor. The chiptune background music and beautiful pixel graphics add a nostalgic feel to the game. Get it on Steam, iOS, and Android.
Age of Gladiators
Let's step back in time where fierce warriors fought each other to the cheer of a bloodthirsty crowd. Age of Gladiators puts you in the sandals of a boss who handles these men who fight to the death for money and glory. Think of it as Football Manager 2016 with the chance of a gory decapitation.
The gladiators have their own statistics that are increased through missions or training. Staff can be hired like doctors and trainers who can help you take care of your warriors. It is also imperative to enhance the ludus (gladiator school) and diet of your men so they perform at top shape. The money you earn from victories will be used to equip your men with better armaments and to pay for the salaries of your staff.
During a fight you can place bets on your own gladiator or his foe while choosing the amount of purse you will share with your man. Betting against your fighter is risky as it can trigger a certain event against your favor. The battle is done on a text box devoid of any graphics and instead only lists the actions of the fighters with sound effects of steel clashing. Your gladiator can be executed if he loses and the crowd demands for blood.
Circumstances like running out of money will force you to make difficult decisions. For example if you run out of money you can either lend some from borrowers or have your defeated prize fighter killed off so you can take away his savings. Taking the shady route to wealth can tarnish the reputation of your gladiators which will negatively affect their performance.
Age of Gladiators puts a classical spin on the sports simulation genre with some bits of choices that can be morally questionable at times. It is available on Steam for $9.99.
For the uninitiated Blood Bowl is originally a board game where Warhammer Fantasy races duke it out in a very violent game of American Football. It later spawned a video game and a sequel followed afterwards.
You get to choose among the races to play with. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses except for the Humans as they are the balanced race. Unlike the other simulation games you actually get to control your team during a match like a turn-based strategy game. Unfortunately like its board game counterpart dice rolls are the deciding factor here so you better start praying to Lady Luck for favorable outcomes. The graphics are detailed and remarkable with close-up shots of players bashing other players in the face.
The Player Marketplace provides new team members as the mortality rate in the game is very high. Players also level up and improve their skills via dice roll but when they reach a certain age they will automatically retire.
Blood Bowl 2 brings turn-based strategy and the mayhem of Warhammer Fantasy to the football field. It is available on Steam, Xbox One, and the Playstation 4.
Trophy Manager
Trophy Manager brings the fun of Football Manager 2016 to your browser as you compete with thousands of teams worldwide.
The game begins with a tutorial that details the basics. Complete it and you'll be rewarded with cash and free Pro days. Being under Pro gives a lot of useful functionalities but it requires a monthly subscription aside from obtaining a few days free.
You'll spend your hours training your team and making sure that their lineup is properly organized for a game. The stadium where they train also need to be invested with upgrades that takes days to finish.
AI-controlled matches against other teams take place in real-time and you can actually watch its 90-minute entirety complete with an animation that's actually quite impressive. Of course you can always skip it and focus more on the important things to ensure victory.
Trophy Manager keeps things fresh with seasons and day-specific events. Despite being a browser-based game it is actually pretty detailed and may appeal to both casual and hardcore simulation gamers alike.

The life and times of Peter Reynolds

Immediate Plans Following My Election As LCA Leader
First of all, I want to say thank you to all who voted for me and to the membership as a whole for placing its trust in me. I take the leadership on as a serious responsibility. This is the dawn of a new era and of what I'm calling for now,… "New LCA".
I intend to work by consensus with both the management committee and the membership. We will carry forward the plans that I set out in my manifesto. However, even before that, my first priority is our registration as a political party. The membership voted for that before it voted for me.
I have reviewed all the information from the Electoral Commission. The most important part of registration is the submission of the party's constitution. The existing constitution is not suitable for a political party with a leader and so it will have to be revised. This then is the time to review all aspects of the constitution and so include the plans I put forward in my manifesto which the membership voted for.
I have co-opted Stuart Warwick on to the management committee. The members of the committee are now: Don Barnard, Mark Palmer, Peter Reynolds, Stuart Warwick and Janice Wells.
The committee is now working together to produce a draft constitution for New LCA. It will consider everything about our future strategy including our name and identity. I anticipate that there will be a formal committee meeting in two or three weeks when we will publish the new draft constitution. We will consult widely as we go along. If possible, I am going to try and build in a formal consultation process so that members can comment or propose amendments to the draft. Then there will be a new ballot of the membership on the committee's proposals.
Clearly, we cannot contest the Barnsley by-election on 3rd March. The Electoral Commission requires a minimum 20 working days to process a registration. We must plan to have completed the consultation, ballot and registration process in time to contest the May elections.
There is an exciting new campaign in development on the theme of "Reform. Regulate. Realise". I am working with independent scientific experts to ensure the credibility of our message. I promise you will see the details soon,
Other important matters for consideration by the committee will include the website, the forum and the level of membership fees. Anyone, member or non-member, is welcome to write to me with their views, ideas or proposals. Email me at peter@peter-reynolds.co.uk.

Legalise Cannabis Alliance Votes To Return To Politics
Last week the LCA announced the result of its membership ballot – that it would re-register as a political party and elect a leader.
Stuart Warwick
Two candidates are standing for the leadership: Stuart Warwick and myself. Voting will close on 14th February 2011 and the result will be announced a few days later.
At a meeting last Sunday, a new management committee was formed consisting of:
Don Barnard, PR & Political Liaison
Alun Buffry, Treasurer & Coordinator
Mark Palmer, IT & Media Development
Peter Reynolds, Speaker
Janice Wells, Secretary
Two official spokespersons were appointed:
Alun Buffry, co-founder of the LCA, said:
"In 2006, LCA members voted to de-register as a political party in the mistaken belief that the Liberal Democrats and Greens would take up the complex issues surrounding the cannabis plant. Sadly that did not happen. Now, LCA members have voted to re-register as a political party. The LCA will once again offer voters a platform to register their discontent over the unjust prosecution of victimless users of cannabis."
Don Barnard added:
"I am over the moon that the membership has voted to get politically active again. I look forward to raising concerns about the dubious reasons for complete prohibition of the cannabis plant with government and parliamentarians."
For myself, I am excited to be involved in the management committee and the leadership election. Whatever the outcome, I will do my utmost to represent the LCA, its members and all cannabis users to the best of my ability. It is time that the discrimination against millions of British citizens who choose to use cannabis was put back on the political agenda. No longer can the misinformation and false propaganda put out by government ministers go unchallenged.

HORROR BOOM
We got lucky and grew up during the HORROR BOOM in the 1980s! Here's what happened…
Spoiler-A-Rama
Tag Archives: horror movie
18 More Days Till Halloween, Halloween, Halloween… October Update!
Wow, I'm going to really have to step up my game. Halloween is coming up sooner than I thought! I'm going to post every day, I know that. I've had lots of ideas for the month of October. Yeah, it took me a couple weeks to realize we were well into October—hey, every month is sorta Halloween when you're a horror fan!* Then October shows up and kicks the fucking door open. I love all the horror releases this time of year. Plus, we're seeing Sinister at some point over the weekend, which I've heard nothing but good things about. Trying not to get my hopes too high, I just want to see a decent horror movie in a full theater –especially one that earns a couple genuine screams.
Here's how that came to happen. A friend comped us tickets for a Patton Oswalt show at a semi-local casino, which was already a great night. I played a nickel slot machine—oh yeah, I'm a REAL high roller when I'm broke. While we were waiting my for last comped drink, I told my husband (not for the first time this week, either), "GOD I want to see Sinister, it got really, really good reviews," not really expecting him to go for it when money is so tight.
Him: Nope, we can't.
Me: But it's not found footage.
Him: It got two and a half stars in the Seattle Times.
Me: Yeah? Did [name of reviewer who I tend to dislike for reasons I'm not going to go into here, redacted] review it?
Him: (shakes head "no")
Me: Because [redacted] hates horror movies. I don't give a fuck what [redacted] says.
Him: Not going to happen.
Me: I can't see it by myself, I know I'm going to scream a couple of times and that's, like, really embarrassing when you're sitting alone, even if you're a chick.
Him: (I can't remember, I'd had three comped lemon martinis and was feeling no pain, probably him patiently explaining to me again why we can't).
Me: OK, not to jinx it, if I win enough to pay for the tickets for us? Then we're going.
Him: (sighs)
Full of confidence and comped drinks, I picked a slot machine called "Haunted House". Yep, that's where I'm sitting till I lose my money. Twenty minutes later, I won enough to go see Sinister. Woooo! I was waving my arms around like Kermit The Frog after he introduces a guest on The Muppet Show and hugging everyone I knew. My ecstatic reaction wasn't due so much to the fact that it was the first time in my life I actually came out a little ahead on a slot machine (though they were probably thinking 'that's not a big enough win to get that excited about') but because I wouldn't have to wait for Sinister to show up on DVD in six months. OK, and those fine comped lemon martinis contributed some to that reaction, too.
Back to Halloween, I was thinking of posting one scary movie review a day, then one very scary short a day, but I've been searching around and saving all the most frightening horror shorts over the last couple months, and so far I've only got a dozen or so good enough and scary enough to post. I don't want to use them all up in a row, then have the rest of the year be boring. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, and I'm hoping I can apply myself enough to write a recap/review of American Horror Story: Asylum every week. Oh, and Halloween weekend–or on Halloween if I can get the timing right– I'll post the scariest J-horror short of the month, if not the year.
Heads up! It's that time of year again!
Also, I'm either going to put up a FAQ page or a Q&A page to the site. I look at the WordPress dashboard when I check my stats every day to see what Google search terms were used, and while some of them are really disturbing— "free snuff movie real blood" —is one of the ones that makes me glad I coughed up a little extra money to stay mostly anonymous on the blog— other are questions I instantly know the answers to. Here's an example. Search term: who ripped off yokos jaw in grudge. Kayako Saeki, in the attic! Search term: what are some fuckedup scary movies from france Answer: Frontier/s, Martyrs, and Inside to start. Don't watch them all in a row, or even on concurrent nights, though…
Anyway, if you want to see more of something, tell me. I'll post a poll later. Thanks to every single person who has checked out the site when I told them about it, ANYONE who has left a comment, and you know what? Thanks to every single person who has been here (especially regularly –I hate to sound sappy, but it always makes me smile, even on a shitty day). Plus, if you have a question —pretty much ANY question— about a horror movie,** I'm your online go-to woman!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot the point of this post— Horror Boom is now on Facebook (under "Horror Boom", with the explode-y vector that's the featured image of this post, plus the monster-hand-in-the-popcorn-box photo below. You'll know it when you see it. If you're on Facebook and want to give Horror Boom a 'like', it'd be really cool of you and appreciated. Right now there's three likes, and one is my brother (thanks bro, I know you're not a horror fan). If you hate Facebook and don't want anything to do with it, I totally understand and certainly would not even consider asking you to join just to like Horror Boom. Just saying, if you're already there and have a minute, please check it out. Thanks to Andrew for the first like, by the way. All you guys rock!
Scariest Short Horror Movie of the Week will be posted soon…

Excision (2012) – This Is One Seriously Twisted Red Band Trailer… So What Are You Waiting For?
You're a very troubled little girl. -William (John Waters)
(Raising her hand to calmly ask a question in Anatomy Class) Can you contract an STD from having sex with a dead person? -Pauline, Excision
Okaaay! Uh… wow. I remember seeing a piece on this movie somewhere; I think the movie might have been in production (or post) at the time. I recall hearing that there weren't just walk-outs, there were actual PASS-outs, when it played at the 2012 Sydney Film Festival (and one or two other showings). At some point I added it to my IMDB Watch List. When I saw the image above, it came back to me. Today I finally saw the full-blown intense Red Band trailer below. I know I hadn't seen it before, because I would have remembered John Waters showing up in it (for one).
You might want to put down anything you're eating before you watch this..
The official website for the film has some lush, vivid stills so twisted I didn't even consider putting them here; at least one of them, anyway, grossed me out just to look at. If/when you look at the "Stills" section of the elaborate website, you'll know the one I mean as soon as you see it. Gah. There's a ton of media, both stunning and grotesque, and news galore on the official site. There's less NSFW content –but loads of updates– on the official Facebook page for the movie.
If you're looking forward to seeing Excision as much as I am (hey, why are you looking at me like that? Don't judge me!) then you'll be happy to know the release date for the DVD and Blu-ray is coming up faster than Pauline's lunch in the trailer you watched. OK, maybe not that quickly, but soon! Here's the official Press Release:
On October 16th, Anchor Bay Films presents the harrowing coming-of-age horror film, and instant cult classic, Excision, from writer/director Richard Bates, Jr., which the Sundance Channel deemed, "Without question the most mind-blowing grotesque film to screen at this year's fest." Boasting an impressive and eclectic cast including AnnaLynne McCord (The CW's "90210," Transporter 2, Fired Up, FX's "Nip/Tuck"), Traci Lords (Blade, Zack & Miri Make a Porno, Cry Baby), Ariel Winter (ABC's "Modern Family"), Roger Bart (Hostel Part II, Law Abiding Citizen, American Gangster), Malcolm McDowell (The Artist, A Clockwork Orange, Rob Zombie's Halloween, HBO's "Entourage") and cameos including Ray Wise, director John Waters, and Academy Award® winner Marlee Matlin, Excision comes to Blu-ray™ for an SRP of $24.99 and DVD for an SRP of $22.98.
Excision turned critics' stomachs as well as heads, garnering much attention at festivals this past year. Noel Murray of AV Club calls it, "One of the damnedest 'adolescent misfit' movies you'll ever see — for those who can stomach the splatter, that is," and Chris Bumbray of JoBlo exclaims,
"While it's more than a little sick, and will likely leave you queasy by the time the credits roll, Excision is nonetheless a truly unique horror ride into the scariest of all place:s the mind of a teenaged misfit." Excision holds a 94% "want to see" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Based on a short film of the same name, Excision follows a disturbed and delusional high school student, Pauline (AnnaLynne McCord), who, with aspirations of a career in medicine, goes to extremes to earn the approval of her controlling mother (Traci Lords). While dealing with being an outcast teenager and obsession over curing her sister's cystic fibrosis, Pauline becomes continually deranged as her fascination with surgery and the human flesh grows into something abysmal and demonic.
Bonus feature on the Excision Blu-ray™ and DVD: audio commentary with writer/director Richard Bates, Jr., and AnnaLynne McCord.
Thanks, Official Press Release (and Anchor Bay)! Nice to start the week with some good news. I have no idea how they got stunning AnnaLynne McCord to look so terrible; when I watched the trailer I didn't recognize her until her credit came up. In some of the freaky dream sequences/fantasies I can recognize her, with all the glamour make-up on and fetish costumes. I'm confident she call pull it off; in addition to some of the rave reviews her acting in this movie is getting, she played a teenaged, breathtakingly gorgeous but vile, sick little bitch on Season Five of FX's Nip/Tuck who, among other malignant things, taught an eleven-year-old girl how to make herself throw up to keep her weight down, because 80 lbs was 'too fat'.*
I'm also tweeting the first clip that was released. Remember when you're watching it that A. that is not an actual dead bird, it's only a movie and B. not to watch while you're eating anything …or feeling queasy already, because it even made me wince a little. I'm tweeting it too, though, mainly because the clip's title is "Bird Surgery" and maybe I can come up with some corn, hack-y joke.
Whoop! Sorry, I seem to have accidentally posted some images of the lead actress in an upcoming unrated French horror movie instead of… no, wait, I was right the first time, these *are* in fact some images of the lead actress from "Excision!"
*which she did sheerly –and successfully– out of spite, because she hated the girl's mother (for sleeping with HER mother, mainly …longer story than you'd probably care for right now). Her horrible character also banged the girl's father for the same reason. Oh, I'm looking forward to posting my list of Ten F*cked-Up Things That Happened On Nip/Tuck. That piece just wrote itself (if anything, I had trouble narrowing it down to ten)!

Looking Back: Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Posted by TonyTGD on June 08, 2020
[Editor's note: This was originally writen and posted on 3/7/2017]
Recently, as I was perusing some YouTube channels, I ran across a video trashing the game Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. Now, I won't try to tell you that it is the greatest game ever, but by no means is it a horrible game. In fact, it's a pretty good game. The reasons that this game gets so much hate is right there in the name... Final Fantasy. You see, what you need to remember when playing Mystic Quest is that it isn't intended for RPG veterans or hardcore Final Fantasy players. On the contrary, this game is an entry point into the genre, letting RPG virgins get their feet wet before diving into a full fledged title with all the bells, whistles, and hundreds of hours of gameplay. Had the game been released simply as Mystic Quest, dropping the Final Fantasy from the title, I believe it would be viewed by more people in the same manner as I view it.
The game places you in the shoes of Benjamin(or whatever you name him): an adventurer who is climbing the Hill of Destiny. During his climb, his hometown is destroyed in an earthquake. Despite wishing to return home, he is met by a mysterious Old Man who tells you that you must fulfill the Prophecy of the Knight. You are therefore charged with finding the Four Elemental Crystals and restoring the power of the Focus Tower. As you travel the world, you meet various quirky characters and adventurers (some of whom will join you in battle, of course). Although nowhere as deep as modern RPGs, the story keeps your attention, doesn't bog you down with tons of named npcs, and doesn't require you to learn intricate back stories of everyone you meet. Streamlined and simple is the way the game treats story, travel, and battle.
One of the coolest features in this game is the way enemy sprites (which are huge) change to reflect the damage you inflict on them. Goblins gain scars. Ice Golems slowly melt. Giant bone monsters lose bones until they are nothing but a pile of dust. This feature alone would make combat in newer rpgs several times better. Could you imagine playing Skyrim and the dragon you're fighting slowly losing flesh and blood as you attack it? The main Final Fantasy series as a whole would be better off if they adopted this unique feature, instead of using the tired mechanic of monsters disappearing when they are dead. Mystic Quest was also incredibly entertaining the way it let the player use weapons outside of battles. Swords can push switches, axes chop down trees, and a claw can be used like a Legend of Zelda hook shot. Each one is added just when you start to get bored with the previous one so you're never left feeling underwhelmed by upgrades.
You might be thinking, "This guy likes the game... but he doesn't seem to love it." Well, I've been holding back a little. You see, I have always considered myself an RPG player first and foremost. RPG, JRPG, Tactical RPG: if it was remotely RPG, I played it. My love of the genre is so vast that I've played Beyond the Beyond, SaGa Frontier, and Vandal Hearts to completion. For those who haven't played them... they are all decent if not flawed games!
The truth is, I was introduced to the RPG genre by this game. Without this game, I wouldn't be the gamer I am today. You see, this game set out to lure kids into a genre that was seen at the time as extremely long, difficult, and too complicated for anyone who wasn't a hardcore gamer. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest gives RPG beginners strong basics and a new appreciation for the RPG genre without bogging them down in menus and complicated leveling systems. Any game that generates new love beyond basic platformers and shooters can't be all bad. This is why I love Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and why you should too! As always. feel free to comment, like, share, tweet, or whatever other thing you kids do on your social media these days.

SpaceIL chief: 'Beresheet 2 starts Sunday; we'll put our flag on the moon'
'We started something and we need to finish it'
After crash on lunar surface, billionaire Morris Kahn announces new project on-air, says mission team will meet Sunday to begin work on successor to Israel's first moon lander

Following the Israeli spacecraft Beresheet's failure to land safely on the moon this week, SpaceIL chairman Morris Kahn on Saturday announced he was launching project Beresheet 2, effective immediately, adding: "We started something and we need to finish it. We'll put our flag on the moon."
The small spacecraft, the world's first privately funded moon lander, crashed into the lunar surface Thursday night during an attempted landing, apparently due to a technical glitch that caused its main engine to stop mid-landing.
Appearing on Channel 12's "Meet the Press," South African-born billionaire Kahn said work on the successor to Beresheet would start Sunday.
"The response we've gotten has been amazing. The amount of thank yous and letters is amazing," he said. "Over the weekend I've had time to think about what happened, and the truth is seeing all the encouragement and support from people all over the world is amazing.
Morris Kahn speaks on Channel 12, April 13, 2019 (screenshot)
"It gave me time to think and I thought it would be a shame to leave things like that. I've come to announce a new project: Beresheet 2. We started something and we need to finish it. We'll put our flag on the moon."
He added that "Project Beresheet 2 begins tomorrow… A mission team will be meeting tomorrow to start work."
Kahn later shared an English-language video on Twitter in which he said: "We're going to complete the mission."

Following his announcement, Israel Aerospace Industries, which partnered on Beresheet, said it would gladly take part in future SpaceIL ventures.
Kahn provided a large chunk of the $100 million (NIS 370 million) required to build and launch the spacecraft — a novel approach that came at a fraction of the cost of previous, state-funded efforts to land on the moon.
The project was a joint venture between the Israeli nonprofit SpaceIL and Israel Aerospace Industries, funded almost entirely by private donations from well-known Jewish philanthropists, including Kahn, Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, Lynn Schusterman, and others.

SpaceIL's founders said a major goal of the project was space education and encouraging children to enter science fields.
"I'm ready to work for this and do whatever is takes for this project to move forward," Kahn said. "This is also a good lesson for the youth. I said that if you fail you need to get up and try again and this is an example I have to give them."
For Beresheet 2, Kahn said the hope was to enlist the public to shoulder some of the costs, possibly through a crowdfunding campaign.

"We'll get the funds from donors and the public," he said. "Everybody wants to take part. I got an offer from someone rich in the US who offered to pay a lot of money but I think the funds should come from the public. This should be a people's project."
Following the Beresheet crash, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to indicate that the government would support a follow-up endeavor. Unidentified government sources told Channel 12 on Saturday the government would back the project, though it was not clear to what extent.
"We're not counting on support from the government," Kahn said. "If they help, good, but we're counting on the public."

Ehud Hayun, a space systems engineer at IAI, said: "I'm not crushed, I'm disappointed, but I'm very proud of what we achieved. We had a lot of success along the way, until the hard landing. We knew it was a risky mission, and the risk we were taking to build it cheap and fast. But we tried."
SpaceIL co-founder Yariv Bash said it would take about two or three years to get another prototype ready for a moon landing.
Opher Doron, the general manager of the Israel Aerospace Industries' space division, which collaborated on building the spacecraft, said engineers were still studying the problem that led to the crash. Currently, they believe there had been a failure with one of the telemetry (altitude) measurement units, which caused a chain of events that ended up cutting the main engine about 10 kilometers (6 miles) above the moon's surface. Without the main engine, the spacecraft could not properly brake in time to make a gentle landing, instead crashing into the moon Thursday.
SpaceIL co-founder Yonatan Winetraub said in a press conference after the crash: "We didn't reach the moon in one piece. That sucks. However, engineering and science are hard. Sometimes it doesn't work the first time, sometimes it doesn't work the second or third time. But it will work."
Former astronaut and second man on the moon Buzz Aldrin on Thursday tweeted his condolences to the team, saying the project was "inspiring."
"Never lose hope – your hard work, team work, and innovation is inspiring to all!" he wrote.

One of the most interesting features of a mobile computer cart with battery is that they provide hours of uninterrupted power for continuous working. However, this is not all they provide, and in fact, Mobile Workstation Carts that have a hot swap battery system installed have many advantages over standard mobile computer carts.
Let's take a look at some of the advantages you will gain when integrating a such a mobile workstation cart into your clinic or department, and then outline each advantage by importance in both a medical environment as well as a commercial environment.
Shift work is a continuous cycle of interaction between the staff and the patients/clients, as well as the staff and IT department. A mobile computer cart with battery enables the staff to maintain constant updates of information, as well as to perform online routine operational procedures such as purchasing requests and inventory counts and updating databases that are used to link ERP systems into one cohesive data management system.
By maintaining a non-interrupted flow of data, shifts can transfer seamlessly with data flow to and from the various interlinked systems providing decision makers with up to the moment real-time knowledge. This leads to better, informed decision-making.
A mobile computer cart with battery is a standalone mobile unit that can be moved around a specific area or cover the entire floor where a user will be able to cart along the computer workstation without worries of cables for charging or data transfer issues.
The efficiency of a hot swap battery pack in a mobile workstation cart is that it provides the user with unfettered mobility and a no-worry shift. Where the battery pack provides unlimited power using two battery cells that work together. When one battery unit loses power, the second one comes on, giving the user enough time to replace the first battery cell and charge the depleted cell.
This three-cell cycle for a two-cell battery pack provides 24/7 power that provides efficient mobility and assures the user and the system that data will flow uninterrupted from the mobile computer cart.
One of the main concerns of any system, whether it is a for-profit or non-profit organization, is ROI on their asset investments. Mobile workstation carts are not only cost effective but also provide exceptional functionality.
Mobile carts with batteries are designed for maximizing the efficiency of movement between the user and the computer and cart.
Ultimately, this reduction in wasted movement, increase productivity and improves the return on investment ratio, which is effectively promising a reduction in wasted time during shifts and increasing productivity which is translated into profit.
A mobile computer cart with battery is the most efficient way to improve efficiency in productivity, efficiency in the flow of data and overall profitability through an increased ROI.
A hot swap battery system is the best form of Mobile Workstation Carts you can get.


Wild animals of all shapes and sizes are born during the spring and summer. In your own backyard, you may come across baby birds, rabbits, fawns, raccoons and other young wildlife as they make they make their way into the world. The pleasure of seeing these young creatures can come with a sense of protectiveness—of wanting to help them survive. But spotting a baby animal by himself doesn't necessarily mean he's an orphan. Many wildlife parents leave their young alone, sometimes for long periods, throughout the day.
Punch holes, from the inside out, into a box or container.
Line the box with an old T-shirt or other soft cloth.
Cover the animal with a towel or pillowcase, then gently place him in the container.
Do not give him food or water.
Place the container in a warm, dark, quiet place until you can transport the animal.
Transport the animal as soon as possible. Keep the carrier out of the sun and away from direct cooling or heat. Keep the radio off and talking to a minimum.
Never handle an adult animal. Even small animals can injure you.
A fledgling, a bird who has "graduated" from the nest but cannot fly yet, spends 3-5 days on the ground hopping around, learning where to hide and what to eat. During this time, cats and dogs must be kept away. If you see a fledgling in a dangerous spot, move him to safety, then move away quickly. If you are sure that a parent has not fed the fledgling for two hours, he may be orphaned; call a wildlife rehabilitator.

Phenomenal World
Essential Infrastructures
Sebastian Benthall
, Jake Goldenfein
Montjuïc Telecommunications Tower
As social distancing became norm and law in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, people turned to video teleconferencing to meet with friends and family, attend religious services, and go on dates. Zoom work accounts became a conduit for maintaining nonwork social ties, and as people came to depend on this enterprise tool, Zoom's stock valuation soared.1 The pandemic has widened the sphere of life dependent on such market technologies, heightening existing questions around the political, legal, and economic governance of these companies. How should the fabric of social life, especially as it is rewoven by the pandemic, relate to the private ownership of telecommunications?
Two legal regimes regulate the ownership of and access to telecommunications technology: the market disciplining forces of antitrust law (along with allied concepts like public utilities regulation), and the national security protections of critical infrastructure regulation. Certain applications of the former, concerned primarily with market power, identify privately-owned infrastructures that are "essential," and regulate firms to ensure that access to that infrastructure is made available to competitors and consumers on reasonable terms. The latter, on the other hand, identifies infrastructures that are "critical," and regulates them to serve the US's national and economic security interests.
But both the market and national security regulatory systems leave in place the business model of telecoms, and consequently, we argue, cannot ensure the civic provision of what are now essential communications tools. While utilities regulation like "net neutrality"—which requires equal and nondiscriminatory treatment of content moving through telecoms infrastructure—may curtail certain malign effects of concentrated market power, it preserves the market dynamics that create the problems in the first place. These two regulatory frameworks are consistent with the continued functioning of what has been called informational capitalism.2 In the economic organization of technology, people are either employees, consumers, "users" whose data can be monetized, or some combination of the three. Firms exert power over individuals who, confined to these roles, do not have collective bargaining power with which to exert their interests.
If civil society is to retain political autonomy with respect to information technology, it will require exerting democratic political power. In what follows, we outline the history of the two existing legal approaches to regulating telecommunications, and then turn to several policy ideas—including public ownership and bargaining structures—aimed at asserting that power.
Antitrust: essential facilities and public utilities
In the 1876 Supreme Court case Munn v. Illinois, farmers successfully lobbied the government to legislate maximum rates that private companies could charge for the storage and transportation of agricultural products.3 In another case, in 1912, the courts determined that rail bridge owners could not refuse passage of their competitors' railroad cars.4 These two cases illustrate the origins of the essential facilities doctrine, an antitrust tool that prevents the exploitation of infrastructural bottlenecks by a natural monopoly. Although it was developed a century before the internet, the doctrine has informed regulatory thinking about digital platforms: in the 1990s, the Federal Trade Commission investigated Microsoft for abusing its monopoly position by tying Microsoft products to the sale of Windows. Litigation pursuing the essential facilities doctrine followed in 2001 concerning the default installation of Internet Explorer onto Windows operating systems,5 and in 2017, the European Commission ruled that Google had to make its shopping aggregator bid equally with competitors for listing at the top of search engine results.6
While the essential facilities doctrine intercedes in business-to-business relations, other forms of competition law, like public utilities regulation, intervene in business-to-consumer relations—particularly where the product or service in question is socially or economically essential, like electricity, gas, or water. One type of utilities regulation is the "common carrier" designation, which defines licensed or regulated bodies that transport goods, persons, or in the case of telecommunications, content, for any party on reasonable terms. Online, however, where a great deal of content is user-generated, the business-to-consumer and business-to-business focus of these doctrines has blurred. The application of common carrier designation has been a large part of the net neutrality debate in the US.
Because it was initially envisaged as a decentralized and unregulated system (as demonstrated by the Telecommunications Act of 1996), the internet was excluded from anything like public utilities regulation until the FCC issued its "Open Internet Principles" in 2005.7 In 2007, Comcast subscribers complained about interference with peer-to-peer applications on the network, claiming violation of the Open Internet Principles, eliciting a succession of back-and-forth between Comcast and the FCC. After the FCC censured Comcast in its first attempt to enforce net neutrality, Comcast brought an action challenging the principles on the basis that the FCC did not have jurisdiction over the behavior of internet service providers.8 The FCC then passed the Open Internet Order in 2010, premised on different statutory authority,9 which required that broadband providers not block or unreasonably discriminate against lawful content or traffic, and be transparent in their network operations.10 These regulations, however, were relatively light-touch, and neglected crucial subjects like rates, tariffs, and network unbundling. While the transparency rule was ultimately upheld, the blocking and discrimination rules were eliminated in a 2014 legal challenge brought by Verizon.11
In 2015, the FCC sought to implement net neutrality again by regulating ISPs under the broader oversight provisions in Title II of the Communications Act of 1934—the law introduced to address issues of monopoly telephone provision by AT&T early in the 20th century.12 The result was the reclassification of ISPs from "information services" to "telecommunications services," as well as "common carriers." Under net neutrality, consumers benefited from content providers being treated "neutrally" by ISP. Shortly after the presidential election of Donald Trump, however, Ajit Pai, the newly-appointed chairman of the FCC, rolled back the net neutrality rules with the "Restoring Internet Freedom Order."13 The new ruling maintained the transparency requirement but eliminated all other regulatory interventions, instead preferring regulation of ISPs under consumer law as administered by the Federal Trade Commission.
Reinstating the information service classification ended public utility style regulation, clarified that broadband would be dealt with as a mass-market service at the retail consumer level for both fixed services and mobile, and re-opened the door for paid prioritization of content. Examples of ISP practices breaching net neutrality—typically when those ISPs are large telecommunication firms—include throttling peer-to-peer networks, not running competitors' payments systems, and privileging single video providers like YouTube while charging extra for data downloaded from other services.14 The end of net neutrality could possibly allow restricting video chat or voice-over-internet protocol applications (like Zoom and Skype), as AT&T tried when Skype started competing with their telephony services. At heart, the information service classification opens the door for further centralization and integration of the internet service and content provision offered by telecommunications behemoths, who are no longer compelled to afford content providers open access to their systems. At the same time as the net neutrality rollbacks, a bill was passed under Trump preventing the FCC from enforcing rules that would require user consent for ISPs to collect and sell user data in data markets.15
The regulatory debate presently unfolding over "Big Tech"—the online, two-sided market platforms like Uber, Amazon, Google, and Facebook—bears the marks of these legal battles over ISPs. An emerging group of scholars, drawing on the regulatory strategies of the Progressive Era, believe that treating platforms as public utilities might enable governments to intervene in the business model that drives social media platforms to relentlessly pursue engagement at the expense of a democratic information environment. Making the antitrust case, K. Sabeel Rahman has argued that utilities regulation is appropriate for large tech platforms because they have become the infrastructural backbone of much social and economic activity.16 The concentration of power in these platforms generates the same sort of issues as corporate monopoly, such as unreasonable rates, discrimination, and quality of service, which prompted public utilities regulations for railroads and telegraphs in the 20th century.
Others, like Adam Thierer,17 find the application of utilities regulation an awkward solution. In this account, platforms are not sufficiently analogous to existing utilities, defined as they are by physical infrastructures. In a recent article, Susan Crawford suggests that treating Facebook like a utility would distract from proper oversight over real utilities like telecommunications,18 and that Facebook ought to be treated more like a TV station.
The public utilities debate is premised on the market being the best means of coordinating the provision of telecommunications systems and services. As more and more of social life takes place through telecommunications systems and privately operated platforms and services, regulation aimed at disciplining providers is not enough. Market discipline enhances the level of competition that has led to various exploitative practices by large tech firms, each incentivized to treat user data as a raw economic resource. In the absence of robust and enforceable privacy and data protection laws, it is not clear that reducing market dominance and increasing competition will cure such abusive data practices. The carrier layer of the internet has become indispensable for social life; it ought to be provisioned as a public good.
This is not a new argument—innumerable media scholars have commented on the antithetical relationship between privatized and nichefied media on one hand, and democratic and public life, understood as a social good, on the other. Such a position insists these technologies should be civic tools governed by civic values.19 This means asserting public interest as a priority over the extraction of rents—from payments or personal data. Ultimately, it means moving away from understanding consumer attention as a resource to be captured and leveraged into revenue by telecoms. Checking the market power of large firms does not prevent the exploitation of information flows through that infrastructure.
National security and critical infrastructure
With the Trump administration's FCC rollback of utilities-style regulation on telecommunications, a different regulatory logic has come to the fore: geopolitical competition. The 2001 Patriot Act solidified a definition of "critical infrastructure" to mean systems or assets vital to the military security, economic security, or public health of the United States, and has allowed for the increasing power of the Executive over telecommunications. Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 directed the newly-formed DHS to identify communications and information technology systems as priority targets for defense against terrorism. In 2013, a Presidential Policy Directive built upon this foundation, expanding its ambit into a sector-by-sector approach, including the communications and information technology sectors.
The reconfiguration of the national security interest in telecom in terms of economic security has made robust domestic regulation unlikely. Whereas the Obama administration's approach to telecom policy was primarily concerned with expanding access to digital services,20 the Trump administration has been preoccupied with telecommunications infrastructure and services insofar as they are vulnerable to foreign attacks, in particular from China. They have therefore favored more overt legal tools connected to procurement, defense, and investment control.
The motivations driving legal controls to defend "critical infrastructure" are far from straightforward. In 2018, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) banned the executive branch's procurement of telecommunications equipment or services provided by companies believed to be state-owned, like Huawei and ZTE.21 This rule followed the logic of cybersecurity supply chain risk management:22 a cyber-component whose production is controlled by a cyber-adversary could be a source of back-door vulnerabilities.
National security rationale always has an economic dimension, and cybersecurity is no exception. In 1975, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) was established to review the national security implications of foreign investment in the US. The committee has seen a steadily increasing case load since 2008 as telecom and web applications have become central, both commercially and as a security risk. In 2018, the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA) expanded the scope of covered transactions to any investment that would give a foreign person access to "material nonpublic technical information" held by a US business.23 In a particularly sensational case, CFIUS forced Chinese divestment from the LGBTQ dating app Grindr because investors might access personal data that "could be exploited by Beijing to blackmail individuals with security clearances."24 By this rationale, critical information can be hacked both "from below" through a vulnerable component, or "from above" through investment and managerialism.
The national security framing of these policies can obscure the economic ends they serve. Former Trump National Security Adviser H. R. McMaster's recent writing offers some insights into the US foreign policy establishment's view of China as a threat.25 Chief among these is China's "Military-Civil Fusion" policy, through which all Chinese companies are enlisted in service of national intelligence. The policy gives China the legal fluidity to negotiate the transfer of technology from US firms both as a state and through companies, and to use this new technology both as part of national intelligence and for the economic benefit of Chinese companies.
For regulators, then, telecommunications and internet applications are "critical" not only from a military perspective, but also from an economic one. Dan Ciuriak has argued that trade wars, applied to the digital context, are best understood as a competition over rents.26 (There has been no shortage of opportunity for Silicon Valley to influence the US government's understanding of this dynamic: Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, currently chairs the Defense Innovation Board and National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, advising the federal government at the highest levels about how the competitiveness of US technology companies depends on federal support.)
In this light, "cybersecurity" initiatives that hamper Chinese telecommunications firm have the additional effect of preventing the flow of infrastructure rents to China. Similarly, security initiatives which prevent Chinese investment in telecom and internet applications, such as CFIUS, keep the flow of these rents in the hands of US persons. US wealth is thereby protected from competition for ownership over rents from American technology. Given this context, where the rents extracted by platform firms are understood as geopolitically significant, it is difficult to imagine national market regulation that tends towards the public provision of telecommunications services.
The pandemic has not stalled the Trump administration's pursuit of control over telecoms. An April 2020 Executive Order established a new Committee for the Assessment of Foreign Participation in the United States Telecommunications Services Sector, which provides further executive oversight over the security-related aspects of the telecom sector, with the power to overrule both the FCC and the "safe harbor" results of CFIUS rulings.27 National and economic security interests, combined with executive authority, have pulled control over telecommunications away from democratically accountable administration aimed at civilian welfare.
Towards collective investment
We do not know what the consequences will be of having our social lives take place online. But we do know that telecommunications infrastructure is designed to maximize the profits of its owners.
While the US government increasingly asserts oversight and control over telecommunications and internet application companies, it gives these companies tremendous freedom. The US government never seeks to own its telecom companies; it hardly tries to tax them. However, through its national security policy, it has given them uncontested access to its own territorially bounded source of revenue: US natural persons as "users." Consequently, it has created, in telecommunications and internet firms, a new class of rentiers. While Covid-19 conditions may not be permanent, private telecommunications will continue to pervade human life, increasing the political stakes of this distribution of power. What will prevent a shift towards a totalitarianism of the rentiers?
There are meaningful alternatives. The essential facilities doctrine, used to promote interoperability between technology companies, is at the heart of recommendations made by the Electronic Frontier Foundation to the FTC.28 We have discussed its limits as a paradigm, but it is possible that a more competitive, functional market may indeed give consumers more power in relation to the corporations they depend on for the functioning of daily life.
Beyond antitrust and public utilities, degrees of nationalization take us closer to the provisioning of telecommunications as a public good, as with primary schools, water, and roads. Australia, which shares many of the US's political and security priorities, has a nationalized broadband network which functions as a wholesale service provider. During the Covid-19 pandemic, it was able to subsidize provision of broadband infrastructure to low income households with new home schooling needs, as well as residential and business customers facing financial hardship. It increased capacity to retailers by 40% at no cost in order to help Australians remain connected on broadband and regional satellite services during social distancing.29 Above the carrier layer, however, the government's commitment to national communications systems is somewhat more limited. For instance, the government still communicates with the public via Facebook-owned WhatsApp. (By contrast, the Netherlands and some municipalities in Germany have moved towards choosing open source software for civic applications by default.)
Across the world, a variety of states engage in various forms of what might be called "soft" nationalization, from taking stakes in infrastructure firms30 to creating sovereign wealth funds through taxes on industry. If telecommunications and internet applications must remain profitable monopolies, they can be made subject to public oversight and generate profits for public benefit through partial ownership schemes. There is some irony in the US government's strict prevention of even noncontrolling foreign ownership of US technology companies for fear that it will benefit China, when the US will not seek out the benefits of ownership for itself.
Since about 2017, activists, academics, and politicians around the world have been fostering and developing a "new municipalism" movement, which pushes for the municipal appropriation of formerly privatized assets and resources.31 Drawing on the history of "gas and water socialism" and "sewer socialism," it favors commonly owned civic platforms, community management of public space and services, and municipal dominance over industrial and corporate market actors.32 The goal of the new municipalism is to extend municipal control over digital infrastructure. Within the world of new municipalist platform politics, Barcelona has become a center of democratic action, especially in the world of smart cities, pushing against corporate providers of civic cyber infrastructure.33 The goal is to limit the possibility that data generated through interaction with public space and services will be fed into the political economy of big tech accumulation. During Covid-19, we have already seen some municipalities take these risks seriously: at least one Germany city, Bühl, has provided an open-source video chat platform, Jitsi, to its citizens so that schools and churches could meet during the lockdown.34
The Covid-19 pandemic has made clear how dependent social have has become on private telecommunications infrastructure. Neither antitrust regulation nor national security regulation are sufficient to prevent the erosion of civic autonomy. Rather, protecting the domains of civic society and private life from being controlled and exploited will require the exercise of democratic will. Policy options that strive to restore the balance of power will arise when people and their governments act to bargain and assert power and terms of use over technology firms.

During the meeting, which was held Wednesday evening at the General Office of the Governorate, Major General Ahmad Abdullah, Governor of the Red Sea, said that there is a aim to turn Hurghada into the largest tourist destination in the world.
Abdullah explained that there is huge financial funding provided by the governorate to enter into several projects on the Red Sea, from the development of slums and the rehabilitation of the sewage system and the development and coordination of the internal roads in the tourist city, including what has been completed effectively and is about to finish and delivery.
"Red Sea Governorate is cooperating with the largest engineering planning companies to develop the city of Hurghada, especially the tourist walkway in the city, which is the destination of foreign guests and residents of the city" Abdullah said.

Electric Volvo XC40 will have a price tag around $50k
Volvo recently announced that its first electric car will be an electric version of the compact XC40 crossover. The electric XC40 will arrive after the Polestar 2's arrival in 2019, but we're now hearing some hints at how much the fully electric XC40 will cost.
Volvo's CEO Hakan Samuelsson recently spoke to Wards Auto where he revealed that not only will the electric XC40 be profitable, but it will also be a bit more attainable than other luxury electric crossovers, like the Jaguar I-Pace. During the interview, Samuelsson hinted that the electric XC40 will have a price tag around $50,000. Wards Auto asked, if Volvo can profitably sell an EV "in the $50,000 range," and the CEO said yes. "We are planning that should be a profitable car."
2018 Audi R8 RWS gets a reasonable $139,950 price tag
Toyota Supra may arrive with $63,500 price tag
Volvo XC40 EV will be the brand's first electric car
"From day one (it will be profitable). I think we will have no intention or ambition to sell electric cars with losses."
The fact that Volvo intends to make a profit on the electric XC40 is a stark contrast to other automaker's who lose thousands of dollars on every electric car they sell. For example, Fiat loses around $20,000 on every Fiat 500e electric car it sells.
