Today, that legend has become a reality. While perusing the archives on the star, the House of CHANEL discovered an unreleased recording capturing the spontaneous ambassadress' original words.
Vibrant, innocent and free, her voice is part of the universal collective unconscious. A stirring testimony. The height of seduction. The height of emotion.
For thirty-five years, Jacques Polge has preserved the unique olfactory heritage of the house of Chanel, while also innovating by creating unique scents that capture the timeless elegance and style that Chanel has come to epitomize. His work since 1978 guarantees him a place in the history of contemporary perfumery.
Olivier Polge, son of Jacques Polge, has followed in his father's footsteps. As a perfumer for International Flavors and Fragrances since 1998, he's created acclaimed fragrances "including Dior Homme from Christian Dior, Flowerbomb and Spicebomb by Viktor & Rolf, Flora Botanica from Balenciaga Paris, Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men, Jimmy Choo by Jimmy Choo and last year's hit, La Vie est Belle by Lancôme." (WWD). In 2009, Olivier was awarded the "Prix International du Parfum", an award honoring top perfumers. His appointment as the fourth perfumer for Chanel solidifies his place in olfactory history.
To ease the transition from father to son, Christopher Sheldrake, Director of Research and Development at the CHANEL Fragrance Laboratory since 2005, will carry on his role of ensuring the smooth functioning of this department while continuing to work as a creative tandem with Jacques Polge, and then Olivier Polge.
I'm very excited to see what Olivier Polge will do in his new position at Chanel. Though bound by tradition, I could see him wanting to make his own mark, apart from that of his father. Olivier Polge will join Chanel in September.
1937 – Gabrielle Chanel in her suite at the Ritz hotel in Paris. Published in Harper's Bazaar in 1937, this photo was chosen for the CHANEL N°5 advertisement. For the first time, Chanel herself promoted her perfume.
In 1921, Gabrielle Chanel launched her first perfume – N°5.
She entrusted this task to Ernest Beaux, a French perfume creator to the court of Russia until 1917, whom she later met in Grasse in 1920. Together they invented a fragrance "with the scent of a woman" as she would like to qualify it. Thought out like a designer-dress, N°5 was the first "abstract" fragrance. Unlike the fragrances in fashion at the time, which often suggested a single "figurative" scent like rose, jasmine or lilac, N°5 had no identifiable dominant note among the eighty ingredients that made up its composition.
New and audacious, N°5 evoked a mysterious flower. This olfactory revolution succeeded in outmoding all other fragrances. If Mademoiselle Chanel conceived her N°5 to be a manifesto, she also carefully and intentionally decided on its stark name, once again defying conventions of the time with just a simple laboratory sample number, which also happened to be her lucky number.
The same minimalist rigor was applied to the N°5's visual presentation, with its squared edges and clean graphic lines, it was slid inside white gros-grain packaging edged with black, which echoed the pure lines she used in her fashion creations.
Mademoiselle Chanel knew that this radicalness would launch her off into the avant-garde of her time – N°5's destiny was to become an icon of modernity.
From May 5th until June 5th, 2013 the Palais de Tokyo in Paris will house the N° 5 CULTURE CHANEL exhibition as part of its Guest Program. This exhibition has once again been entrusted to Jean-Louis Froment, the curator of the previous editions of CULTURE CHANEL, held successively in Moscow's Pushkin State Museum for Fine Arts, in Beijing at the National Art Museum of China and more recently in the Opera House in Canton.
Made up of subtle plays of correspondences, N° 5 CULTURE CHANEL cracks the N° 5 code to reveal the links which connected it to specific moments in time and to the avant-garde movements it spanned.
The works of art, photographs, archives and objects exhibited provide an account of the many inspirations which fed the imagination and world of Mademoiselle Chanel. They echo her inner thoughts and shed light on this unique and timeless perfume; whether through her favorite destinations like Venice, Russia or her villa, La Pausa or through the creations of her artist, poet and musician friends Cocteau, Picasso, Apollinaire, Stravinsky, Picabia.
Focusing on the long lasting attachments between CHANEL and the arts, N° 5 CULTURE CHANEL seeks to reveal the timeless and iconic artistic essence of the N° 5 perfume. The N° 5 CULTURE CHANEL exhibition has been put together by Jean-Louis Froment with the participation of Irma Boom, Piet Oudolf, Laurent Burgisser and Jérôme Schlomoff.
Chanel Master Perfumer Jacques Polge, the nose behind 95% of Chanel's fragrances, introduced the latest scent from the Les Exclusifs collection – 1932. The scent was named after the year Gabrielle Chanel debuted her first high jewelry collection, Bijoux de Diamants, which featured a collection of brilliant stars, fringes, feathers, bows and striking comets.
The image above is a still from the original showcase at Mademoiselle Chanel's apartment. She arranged the diamonds in a way that was unique and ahead of the time. The 2012 Comete piece below pays tribute to the 1932 original and it's my favorite of the collection.
As beautiful and striking as this collection was and is – I hardly think of showstopping diamonds when I smell the fragrance. As a matter of fact, I feel a calming comfort.
Les Exclusifs de Chanel 1932 opens with a floral aldehyde, citrus and jasmine. At first whiff I'm not swept off my feet but it's a Chanel and I'm prepared to ride out this fragrance journey. What I have learned since I became a fragrance enthusiast was to have patience. What you may not be wowed by in the first three minutes will turn into something great within ten to twenty minutes or vice-versa. What happens next is the rose note kicks in. The jasmine is still there but it's lingering in the background, not to heady to give you a headache but just enough to linger like a good memory. There's bits of spice from the carnation but it's fleeting. My nose isn't sensitive and trained enough to pick the ylang-ylang and lilac but it's at this point where I am paying attention again.
I am pretty sure the people on the train wonder what is wrong with me again because I can't stop smelling my wrist.
The drydown is what brings it home for me. The jasmine becomes faint but the rose is still going strong and now I get a bit of a honey, almond, sweet hay. The wood notes are almost creamy. The soft powdery musk hugs my skin. It's feminine, warm and makes me feel downright beautiful. Close to an hour later, I'm enveloped in a deep resinous vanilla, powdery aldehydes, sweet musk and woods. I feel like I'm wrapped in cashmere, particularly the $1000 cashmere wrap I got to try on at the Chanel boutique and I almost cried when I had to give it back the sales associate, while wearing this scent.
The sillage is moderate and longevity is quite impressive – I can get almost five hours of wear time before I felt the need to reapply. Anything that lasts over three hours on me is a good thing.
This is offered in a 75ml bottle ($130/USD) and 200ml ($230/USD). Les Exclusifs de Chanel is an exclusive collection found at Chanel boutiques and some department stores (flagship Nordstrom store – Seattle, WA).
I only own one 75ml bottle (Bois des Iles) of an Exclusif and I am really considering saving up for a small bottle of 1932. Like I mentioned earlier, I wasn't wowed initially but I will usually give a fragrance three tries before I give my sample or decant away. There's a bit of familiarity – the bits of honey is reminiscent of another Les Exclusifs scent, Beige, which is a beautiful honeyed white floral. Rose and woods are favorite notes of mine so that help win my vote and I'm a sucker for a sweet, powdery clean musk drydown. It's beautiful and perfect for the office, lunch with girlfriends and in my case, play dates at the playground. Added bonus – the simple square bottle design with the heavy magnetic cap can make even the most shoddy dressers look like a million bucks. It makes you feel feminine just like a great classic Chanel scent would.
On Friday and Saturday, the San Francisco streets were a bit more dressed up with the presence of a refurbished Chanel trolley car. Decked out in signature black and white, the Chanel Nº5 Trolley featured tweed seats and a six-window display detailing the history of Chanel Nº5.
The exhibit began with Chanel Nº5′s start as a creation of Gabrielle Chanel and perfumer Ernest Beaux and a 3D printed replica of 31 Rue Cambon.
Next, the evolution of the Chanel Nº5 bottles was displayed – also 3D printed replicas – along with the current Chanel Nº5 ad campaign featuring Brad Pitt.
As you walked through the Chanel Nº5 trolley you were invited to experience the scent of May Rose – one of the main ingredients of Chanel Nº5 – and the sweetest, loveliest rose scent I have ever experienced.
The exhibit closed with experiencing the different iterations of Chanel Nº5 – Chanel Nº5 Parfum, Chanel Nº5 Eau de Toilette, Chanel Nº5 Eau de Parfum and Chanel Nº5 Eau Premiere.
To experience each of the different interpretations of Chanel Nº5, Chanel had its patented, exclusive ceramic blotters. The use of ceramic blotters allows the user to experience the truest form of the scent without the need for spraying. While other perfume brands just water down the scent to create Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette, Chanel does not engage in this practice. Instead, adjustments are made to the basenotes of the fragrance for each interpretation.
Created in 1921, Chanel Nº5 Parfum is a blend of florals and aldehydes with May Rose and Jasmine, both from Grasse, France at the forefront. In 1924, the Chanel Nº5 Eau de Toilette was created with the Sandalwood scent enhanced creating a more woodsy scent. We don't see a new development until 1986 with the creation of Eau de Parfum, by Chanel Master Perfumer Jacques Polge, which softened the Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang notes. There was a large time span between the creations of Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum because before the 197-s Eau de Parfums did not exist. Finally in 2008, Jacques Polge created Chanel Nº5 Eau Premiere, a modern, lighter interpretation of Chanel Nº5.
After experiencing each of these fragrances, I was surprised to learn that I had never actually smelled the original Chanel Nº5. I knew that the main ingredients were May Rose and Jasmine but I could never find them in the scent. That's because the Chanel Nº5 that I was familiar with was the Chanel Nº5 Eau de Parfum and I didn't know that each interpretation was a bit different. I'm so happy that I was able to experience the true essence of Chanel Nº5 in the Chanel Nº5 trolley!
After guests made their way through the trolley to view the exhibit, they were helped off the trolley by handsome models and given a ticket that was stamped – with a stamp in the shape of a Chanel Nº5 bottle.
Once you received a ticket you were invited to visit Macy's to receive a free sample of Chanel Nº5 Eau de Parfum and Chanel Nº5 Eau Premiere.
Visiting the Chanel Nº5 was a wonderful experience – and a lovely way to start off a day of holiday shopping in Union Square, San Francisco. Attending a Chanel event lets you experience the brands exquisite attention to detail where absolutely nothing is overlooked. From the immaculate design of the trolley complete with interlocking C's on the hubcaps and steering wheel, to the tweed on the seats, to the little Chanel Nº5 bottle stamp for the tickets. If you were in San Francisco I hope you had a chance to experience this for yourself. If not, I hope you enjoy the photos.
Visit the Chanel N°5 Trolley in San Francisco!
Here is part two of the Chanel N°5 commercial film featuring Brad Pitt and directed by Joe Wright. The film uses the same audio of the first film with Brad Pitt speaking in the background but the imagery shows different women and of course, the iconic bottle of Chanel N°5. I think people that didn't like the first ad may enjoy this one more. I enjoy both of them and I can't wait to see more!
Chanel recently premiered the new Chanel N°5 ad featuring Brad Pitt and directed by Joe Wright. Sam Taylor-Wood took photos of the behind the scenes filming of the commercial ad and Chanel also sent images of Brad Pitt photographed by Mario Sorrenti. You can see the Mario Sorrenti images below . . .

Will You Be Buying Stuff From Your TV in 2014? Probably Not
The Super Bowl is often a vehicle for marketers to introduce relatively obscure technology to the mainstream. Back in 2004, Pepsi offered a 100 million-song giveaway via the then-fledgling iTunes. In 2011, Audi dared to use a Twitter hashtag on its Super Bowl ad.
This year, the innovator is H&M. The clothing chain plans to let some viewers — those with Samsung Smart TVs — use their remote controls to buy items from David Beckham's Bodywear line of underwear. The ad tech firm behind the effort — Delivery Agent — believes that 2014 will be a breakthrough for so-called "t-commerce" (that is, TV-based transactions.) By year's end, company CEO Mike Fitzsimmons predicts that 25 million U.S. households — roughly a quarter of the total — will be t-commerce-ready.
Industry watchers don't share his optimism. They point to the lack of infrastructure support and the apparent dearth of consumer interest as obstacles to widespread adoption.
Delivery Agent has been around since 2005. The company until now has mostly focused on how to let consumers buy products they see on TV. For instance, if you saw one of the Real Housewives of Orange County wearing a pair of shoes, then you could buy them via the Shop TV app on Samsung TVs. This year, though, the company began offering a pop-up menu for ads as well. In a demo, a prompt appears during an H&M ad asking viewers if they want to "Shop the perfect holiday gifts from H&M now." (For a video explaining in full how this works, scroll to the bottom of this story.)
If you click "OK," then you'll see a drop-down menu on the left side of the screen. Check on an item and you can buy it with your credit card or PayPal. As with other e-commerce apps and sites, you only need to enter that info once, though you will need to remember your password:
In addition to Samsung and PayPal Delivery Agent has lined up deals with Verizon FIOS, Cablevision and Rovi and is planning to announce more soon, Fitzsimmons says.
Even with widespread distribution, though, Penny Gillespie, an analyst with Gartner, says that one element missing from t-commerce is personalization. While online and mobile tracking tailor ads on your mobile devices or desktop to appeal to your interests, TV is still much more of a blunt instrument. Hitting viewers with inappropriate messages might prompt consumers to stick with their phones and tablets, she says. "There's a very fine line between annoying a customer and solving a problem," she says. "There's less tolerance on mobile than there is on the web and I think there's probably an even lower tolerance for TV."
Sucharita Mulpuru, a Forrester analyst, says she doesn't expect a boon in t-commerce after the H&M Super Bowl ad. "How many people have Samsung Samrt TVs and [how many of them] are going to want the underwear that Beckham is wearing?" she asks. "I don't think it's going to be a game-changer."
Like Internet-ready TVs, t-commerce is a concept that has been technically possible for years, but still hasn't come together for various reasons. In the absence of an all-in-one TV solution, work-arounds like Apple TV, Rovi and Google ChromeCast are providing a good-enough solution. The same could be said for TV-based purchasing: Buying with your remote is a more elegant solution, but consumers are now in the habit of using their phones and tablets.
Andrea Wolinetz, managing director of connected platforms at Omnicom Media Group's PHD media agency, says at this point, a click-to-buy TV solution seems like a solution to a problem that consumers don't actually have. "I'm not sure whether people want it or the industry wants people to want it," Wollinetz says.
For its part, Delivery Agent doesn't necessarily need t-commerce to catch on, though Fitzsimmons believes it will. The company already provides mobile- and web-based methods to let consumers buy items they see on TV. "Traditional e-commerce pathways from PC to mobile are growing," he says. "The remote is kind of the next step for us."

Ol' Myrt here told Rita I'd look up the book Genealogical Resources In New York revised and edited by Estelle M. Guzik. I couldn't remember the title at the time we were talking. It took me quite a while to rustle up the link to the book. It used to be sold through Avotaynu, and they say it is available through the publisher. However, a thorough review of that side was not fruitful. I did manage to find several booksellers through Amazon.com who offer the book.
Now I am beginning to realize the Jewish Genealogical Society keeps the list of genealogy resources online, rather than updating the book -- a good move by the way.
But it might be just as good to study the online listing of resources at the Genealogical Repositories in the New York Metropolitan Region page.
And if you are ever fortunate enough to visit Charleston, South Carolina, stop in at People, Places & Quilts at 1 Henrietta Street, Charleston. It may be "only the satellite store" of the main store in Summerville, but Rita and her co-worker made our visit very enjoyable.
And our drive through the old parts of this gracious city were breath-taking. The old houses are simply gorgeous, with little gardens, tall oaks dripping with moss, stately columns, summer porches with ceiling fans. The magnolias are in full bloom, and all is well in this beautiful old city.
Rita, I hope to see you during the NGS Conference at my booth #518 GeneaWebinars, Genea-Quilters and DearMYRTLE. Thanks for being YOU!
Thanks for this tip, Myrt.
I have an elusive New Yorker in the tree and being from the southern hemishphere don't know much at all about US records. I will study the links before I head to NYC late in the year.


So now we go into the second form of testing I recommend. I like ultra sound because it is in expensive and a great part of your tool box. However, thermography is an even more important tool!
Thermography is digital infrared imaging.
What that means is you get a picture of your body in heat form. This is what it looks like.
Breast thermography is a way of monitoring breast health over time. Every woman has a unique thermal pattern that should not change over time, like a fingerprint. The purpose of the two initial breast studies (usually obtained three months apart) is to establish the baseline pattern for each patient to which all future thermograms are compared to monitor stability. With continued breast health, the thermograms remain identical to the initial study. Changes may be identified on follow up studies that could represent physiological differences within the breast that warrant further investigation.
Here's the break down. If cancer cells are in the breast tissue, they need blood flow. We've talked about this at length in previous posts. Blood flow equals heat.
Thermography scans are looked at on a pixel by pixel level. They blow the images up and look for the teeniest tiniest heat signature. They can see if blood vessels are growing in the breast tissue. They can see if there is growth where there shouldn't be.
They can see this before enough cancer cells have grown to form a tumor. A mammogram can only see a tumor. At a point when you will need surgery, chemo, or some other invasive procedure.
With thermography if there is abnormal growth you have time to make significant changes. Which, frankly, I hope you're already making! You can monitor the growth and get ahead.
You can make a plan and get started before it is to late.
Beth Meneley, L.Ac. I filled out the required paper work and then we went back to the exam room. It's not really an exam room. I went to Tao of Venus, a healing center for women here in LA. The room we were in is actually a massage room, so very soothing, warm walls and comfy chairs. She gave me a terri cloth wrap. I removed my clothes, the top half anyway, and then wrapped up!
The idea here is that I begin to cool down while we talk so that my reading is at room temp.
She went through a family history and health history with me. We talked about any drugs I am taking, none, and any supplements I am taking, vitamins, D, Cod Liver Oil, Iodine, Selenium, Rhodiola.
After that she told me how to sit, I removed the robe and posed! She took 5 pictures and then let me get dressed. She came back in and we took a look. She told me that they send the scans to a team for pixel by pixel review. She also told me that everything looked great at first glance!
There is no invasive anything with this scan. In fact no one even touches you for a thermography scan. Not that ultra sound is painful but it does take a little while. If you are well endowed it takes even longer. This was really quite quick!
I should be going back in Sept for my follow up however at $200 a scan I'm going to have to postpone my next scan. Ideally you have two scans at three months apart. After that it's just once a year. I've seen prices that are twice that so be sure to shop around. If there is only one place around you then do it, but if there are a few take a look. In my case Tao of Venus is right down the street, and the cheapest I've been able to find in LA. That doesn't mean there isn't a less expensive place. If there is let me know!!!
This scan, like ultra sound, is not 100%. You can't depend on it alone. It should be part of your tool box. Along with self exams, yearly OBGYN exams, and ultra sound. In that tool box should also be healthy foods and certain supplements.
In that tool box should also be a sense of awesomeness. It's hard to give up foods and lifestyle habits that are so common place in our society. Fried food and cold beer sound like heaven to me. But neither one is any good for your breast health, or any cancer at all!
You have to know that you are worth living a long and awesome life. Maybe we get more than one turn around this earth but in case we don't I'd rather live a long and prosperous life! Just because we can make food that's not really food doesn't mean I have to eat it. In fact I'd rather make something decadent and delicious at home, that I know is awesome for me, or at worst not going to kill me.
Ok I love you all!!! Have a great holiday weekend, I'll be drinking a cold *Stasha-Pop* Kombucha by my brothers pool!

'Remove the Risk': New FDA campaign aims to rid homes of unused opioids
Photo: Food and Drug Administration
Washington — As part of its effort to combat the nation's opioid crisis, the Food and Drug Administration has launched a campaign to encourage Americans to safely remove and dispose of unused prescription opioids from their homes.
Through its "Remove the Risk" initiative, FDA hopes to decrease unnecessary exposure to opioids and prevent addiction. The campaign specifically targets women ages 35 to 64, who are most likely to be the primary health care decision-makers and gatekeepers of prescriptions in the household.
Opioids are powerful pain relievers that – when misused or abused – can lead to addiction, overdose and death. Drug poisoning is the No. 1 cause of unintentional death in the United States, according to the National Safety Council. Each day, more than 100 people die from opioid drugs, many of which are prescribed. Additionally, 70% of people who have abused opioids reported getting the drugs from friends or relatives, despite the fact that opioid sharing is a felony.
"Far too many Americans, both teens and adults, are gaining access to opioids for the first time from the medicine cabinets of their parents, relatives and friends," Dr. Douglas Throckmorton, deputy director of regulatory programs in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at FDA, said in an April 25 press release. "Millions of unused opioid pills should not be readily available and easily accessible in our homes."
The preferred method of disposal is community take-back programs, the release states. These include authorized locations such as retail, hospital and clinic pharmacies, as well as law enforcement facilities.
FDA is providing a campaign toolkit that includes public service announcements, fact sheets, and social media graphics and posts. The administration also recently updated its Disposal of Unused Medicines: What You Should Know webpage, which is available in English and Spanish.
"The epidemic of opioid addiction and overdose is one of the greatest public health tragedies we're facing as a nation, and no community is immune," FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner Amy Abernethy said in the release. "If every household removed prescription opioids once they're no longer medically needed for their prescribed purpose, it would have a major impact on the opioid crisis' hold on American families and communities."

Agomab bags $114 million in thriving regenerative medicine sector
By Victor Kotsev

The Belgian company Agomab Therapeutics has topped up its Series B round by $40.5 million to hit $114 million. This Pfizer-led financing round extension is just the latest sign that the emerging field of regenerative medicine is coming to the fore.
Agomab has embarked on an ambitious path to redefine how we understand regenerative medicine and tackle metabolic, inflammatory and fibrotic conditions. The Belgian firm's recent $40.5 million investment was led by Pfizer's biotech-focused Breakthrough Growth Initiative and adds to Agomab's first Series B closing of $74 million, which was led by Redmile Group in March 2021.
The fresh funding is intended to advance the clinical development of Agomab's pipeline. The firm is developing small molecules and monoclonal antibody drugs targeting growth factors — proteins that are linked to a wide range of tissue repair functions in the body.
Agomab's lead candidate is a phase 1-stage small molecule to treat intestinal scarring in the inflammatory condition Crohn's disease. The compound, developed in a collaboration deal with Pfizer, is designed to block ALK-5, a protein involved in growth factor signaling.
"Agomab gains highly valuable investors with this Series B extension as well as funding that will support the company's development and future growth. Pfizer's deep expertise in developing innovative treatments and their specific knowledge of our targets and indications add an extra layer of support," said Tim Knotnerus, CEO of Agomab Therapeutics, in a public statement.
The company's second small molecule candidate also blocks ALK-5, but in this case, it's designed to be inhaled for the treatment of the condition idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Meanwhile, Agomab is developing two antibody drugs at the preclinical stage for the treatment of fibrosis conditions and organ failure. These drugs mimic the action of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) protein, a major promoter of cell growth and division. The HGF protein has potential applications in numerous conditions, but it doesn't last long in the blood. To overcome this issue, AgomAb is using antibody technology from its compatriot company argenx that provides the drugs with both greater stability and greater ability to target specific human tissues than current approaches using the same biochemical pathways.
"The idea of regenerative medicine has been around for some time. However, achieving functional tissue recovery is a very complex undertaking," said Knotnerus.
The deal comes as funding is exploding in the regenerative medicine niche. The global market for regenerative therapies is expected to leap from $9.8 billion in 2021 to almost $38 billion in 2030. And last year, global financing for cell and gene therapy companies in this space shattered records with a haul of over $23.1 billion.
Among other recent, notable deals in regenerative medicine, the Japanese biotech Metcela raised a Series C round worth $14 million in late June 2022 to fund the development of cell therapies for heart failure. And Astellas recently teamed up with Mogrify in the U.K. to research the regenerative potential of cell reprogramming in the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss.
"It is always great to see investments and it is important for the whole biotech and pharma scene in Europe," said Evelina Vågesjö, co-founder and CEO of the Swedish gene therapy biotech Ilya Pharma.
This article was originally published in March 2021 and has since been updated with Agomab's latest funding round.

Session Summaries by Languages Tutors
"The student had a great session today! We went over the following verbs: avoir, etre, aller, faire, chanter, ecouter, chercher, trouver, and manger. He is really picking up on how to conjugate; I am very impressed. After verbs, we moved on to basic words and phrases (such as hello, goodbye, how are you, I am doing well, etc.) and his pronunciation was really good; he has improved so much in that area already. We ended the session with weather terms. He is really going to have a excellent head start when he begins French next week!"
"Today we went over the three different forms of questions, which will be very useful when traveling. We got really in depth into the different levels of formality of the language, and why the three different forms are necessary. The student's pronunciation has also improved greatly. She gave me some feedback as to things that she enjoyed/ wanted to cover, so I'm going to find some more real-life things for her to read and interpret."
"In this session, we kept working in parallel on Scenes I and II of our play and on the first of a series of dialogues that we are creating to practice for all sorts of situations one might expect to come across in the very first days of vacationing in France."
"We covered conversation practice and listening and pronunciation, we did watch some videos of native French speaking people. We did listen how to place an order in any French restaurant by a native French person. I left them with a subject choice to work on for next session. My students evaluated themselves and they are very happy with their progress. They are able to make some sentences themselves and give answers in French. I was so happy to hear them say it themselves. "
"The student started to learn numbers up to 100. We continued with unit 1 in the books. He learned to make the difference between " il" (he) and "elle" (she). He learned new verbs in context, and new vocabulary. He started to learn the alphabet with his sister. Next time we will review the numbers and continue with his workbooks."
"The concepts covered were passe compose and imparfait. Based on the exercises given, a level of understanding by the student was shown. However, with more practice she will fully grasp the concepts. Thus, extra work was left for further practice. Overall, tonight's session was good."
"I began the lesson by reviewing some of the masculine and feminine words the kids had practiced from our previous lesson. We then worked on the different exercises on pages 28 to 33 from the book. The exercises focused on according adjectives and practicing using the correct form of the verb etre in different sentences. "
"This was our last session, so we began by reviewing all of the concepts we had done so far including greetings, vocab, and regular verbs. Then we went over the irregular verbs I consider to be most important including avoir, etre, aller, and faire, as well as some new vocab related to ecology and botany as the student had requested. We finished tying it all together by practicing building sentences incorporating all of the material covered in the last 3 weeks. I am so proud of his progress over the last 3 weeks. He has picked up on the basics of the language so quickly, and he has a lot of potential to excel in his further studies of French. It was a pleasure working with him."
"Today we began to review the verbs etre, avoir and faire. The student did very well in memorizing most of the conjugations. We played a version of bingo so she would memorize them in a fun way. We then did some vocabulary by making the words she knows into sentences with the verbs she just learned. She is doing very well!"
"We went over differences of passe compose and imparfait, then did practice exercises. We went over some reason for accents in French, plus will research on e vs e when heard or pronounced. Then we did some indirect and direct object work, and will continue with that after the holiday weekend. We finished with a few minutes of get-to-know you conversation in French. She did really well with all the grammar, as well as the speaking!! "
"Yesterday we worked on the future tense and the integration of pronouns into sentences as replacements for proper nouns. We drilled and discussed where they are placed in the order of a sentence and greatly clarified the use of "le, la, les" vs. "en" and "y." We set up a verb tense lesson for the conditional and a lyric study of "Rosa," by Jacques Brel, and "Papaoutai," by Stromae, to connect to what we've been learning. Also, this next class will serve as a fun lesson in the importance of Belgian music to la Francophonie. "

Abstract: Rupert Ross examines the differences between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal world views as it relates to culture, justice and values that control behaviour. As a non-native lawyer working in Northern Ontario his insights into Aboriginal culture help us understand the inherent differences between the two. He asks us to become aware that our decision making is a reflection of our culture and that we should not condemn a society we don't properly understand. Presuming to speak for Aboriginal peoples may not result in justice in their view. We need to see life through the other person's eyes and find values that are common to both. Only in this way can we avoid the mistakes of the past.

Updated MSDH Guidance on COVID-19 Isolation
The Mississippi State Department of Health updated its COVID-19 guidance and information.
• Anyone who tests positive for Covid-19, regardless of vaccination status, can stop isolating after five days if they don't have symptoms or if their "symptoms are resolving" -- as long as they also wear a mask around others for the next five days.
• Recently fully vaccinated or boosted people who were exposed to someone with Covid-19 don't need to quarantine, as long as they don't get symptoms. (But they should wear a mask around others for 10 days and try to get tested five days after exposure.)
• Unvaccinated people and those who got shots some time ago and were exposed to someone with Covid-19 need to quarantine for five days after exposure. This covers people who got their last dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine more than six months ago and haven't been boosted; or got just one shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine more than two months ago and haven't been boosted. (Everyone in this category, too, should try to get tested five days after exposure and wear a mask around others for the next five days.)
Updated MSDH Guidance on COVID


Monday, September 8. My day was good, except for a knock on my door this morning by Pat as he was heading to Urgent Care for his back - unable to straighten up and walking was very painful.
I met Sue at the Yahara River Trailhead and we had a nice 3-mile walk together. It is a nice trail through the woods.
Pancakes on a fallen tree?
When I got back home, I washed down the trailer so it is ready to go down the road later this week.
My summer has been wonderful, I've connected with most of the people that I wanted to see and also got to see a good part of the US and all around Wisconsin. I'm looking forward to getting on the road again, although camping solo along the way is going to be a test but I'm up to the challenge and feeling confident that all will go well. I'm ready to get back to my home in AZ.
Tuesday, September 9. Whew! Today was a busy but very fun day. It started out with a conversation with Pat about the possible heavy rain that is predicted for tomorrow and we decided that I should move the trailer to the driveway so the yard doesn't get all messed up by pulling it out in the soft ground. I'm proud of myself that I did it quite efficiently and got it backed in with only a couple of tries.
Later on, Dawn came over and then Jo and her friend, Susan arrived from Oxford to see my trailer and we all headed out for a little tour of Stoughton and to see some of the beautiful Victorian homesand houses where family lived. We then went downtown and stopped at a couple of shops before I had to get on to my next scheduled meetup.
I then went to Deak's where I met Pat and Mary Jo for lunch. We had a nice lunch and a great conversation before heading across the street to Culver's for the monthly classmate get together where the talking continued for the next couple of hours.
So...a busy but very enjoyable day and I retired to the trailer for some alone time by about 7:00.
Wednesday, September 10. I spent most of the day hanging out with Pat. The weather turned this afternoon after lots of rain through the night and into the morning, the winds picked up this afternoon, and then it cooled way down and I had to get cool weather clothes out of the bin in my car.
At dinner time, I went to the Maple Tree to have dinner with Jim and Sue and Pat and Roger. The Old Fashioned and the company were excellent - the dinner wasn't the greatest with the exception of the broasted chicken that was excellent. We had lots of laughs and great conversation, as always.
Thursday, September 11. My last full day here in Stoughton - it's hard to believe that the time has come to unhook and move on. Brrrrrr! It is cold this morning - about 47 degrees when I woke up and it only warmed to about 53 as the day went on.
I had an appointment for a haircut but got a call from the salon saying that Marion has to stay home with a sick child today. I really needed a haircut, so I went to Savana's salon and she was able to get me in right away. I think I like the haircut, but will have to see what happens when I try to style it myself. I got some groceries for the trip and bought a couple of cases of Spotted Cow and Supperr Club to deliver to Ben and take home with me.
I wanted to see Tom and Karen one more time before leaving, so Frisco and I headed up there for a while. I got there just as Tom was taking some brats off the grill, so I got to have lunch with them. The dogs played, we talked, and then I headed back to Stoughton.
Friday, September 12 - on to MN. Well, I've decided to delay my departure because rain is predicted all day long. The radar shows that Stoughton is on the southern edge of the front and my destination is on the north side of the front. So, I'm going to hang out for one more day.
Yesterday, since it was so darned cold, I tried out the furnace in my trailer and it works just fine. It even came on in the wee hours of the morning - must be programmed to start when the temp is under 45 degrees. Now, all systems have been checked and are working fine. I love my little Bubble!
Saturday, September 13. The sun was shining this morning and that is all it took to get me moving. I had some coffee with Pat and then proceeded to get hooked up and was on the move by 8:30. My first stop was at the state park to empty my tanks - I have been in one place since the end of July - definitely some added weight I don't need to carry with me.
The drive to the Hidden Bluffs Resort in Spring Grove, MN was beautiful. Imagine this - a crisp blue sky dotted with big, fluffy clouds, rolling hills - some with rocky cliffs, crossing the Wisconsin River and the Mighty Mississippi, a pheasant darting across the road, and small town America. I stopped for gas at Prairie du Chien and found that I had lost the vent cover over the refrigerator on the entry side of the trailer. Darn!
I went straight west into the Iowa farmlands and then the GPS had me going on county roads wiggling my way to Spring Grove, a cute little Midwest town. At the cemetery, I took gravel roads (nicely packed and not too rough) to the campground and the name is appropriate.
As I started to back into my site, the guy across the way offered to help direct me and it took a few attempts, but I got it and then got hooked up. I walked one of the trails in the park - it's beautiful!
I then got some firewood and got a fire going, mixed a Dripping Springs Vodka tonic, connected to the wifi, and tried to stay warm. Just when I was running out if wood and had some nice coals going, I roasted a couple of hot dogs for my dinner, and then retired for the night. Peaceful place.

On-Demand Transit User Preference Analysis using Hybrid Choice Models
Nael Alsaleh
Bilal Farooq
Yixue Zhang
Steven Farber
In light of the increasing interest to transform the fixed-route public transit (FRT) services into on-demand transit (ODT) services, there exists a strong need for a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of this shift on the users. Such an analysis can help the municipalities and service providers to design and operate more convenient, attractive, and sustainable transit solutions. To understand the user preferences, we developed three hybrid choice models: integrated choice and latent variable (ICLV), latent class (LC), and latent class integrated choice and latent variable (LC-ICLV) models. We used these models to analyze the public transit user's preferences in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. Hybrid choice models were estimated using a rich dataset that combined the actual level of service attributes obtained from Belleville's ODT service and self-reported usage behaviour obtained from a revealed preference survey of the ODT users. The latent class models divided the users into two groups with different travel behaviour and preferences. The results showed that the captive user's preference for ODT service was significantly affected by the number of unassigned trips, in-vehicle time, and main travel mode before the ODT service started. On the other hand, the non-captive user's service preference was significantly affected by the Time Sensitivity and the Online Service Satisfaction latent variables, as well as the performance of the ODT service and trip purpose. This study attaches importance to improving the reliability and performance of the ODT service and outlines directions for reducing operational costs by updating the required fleet size and assigning more vehicles for work-related trips.

Q: Make PC act as WiFi Access Point, DHCP Server and File Server - How? Is it possible to setup a PC running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to

*

*Act as a WiFi access point

*DHCP server

*File server

I would like to install an Ubuntu PC in an automobile. It would not have internet access. However, I would like for Android and iOS phones and tablets to be able to connect to it via wifi and then stream video files stored on the Ubuntu PC (in a USB drive connected to the Ubuntu PC). Is this possible?
I've read that as of Ubuntu 16, the PC can create an ad-hoc WiFi network that devices (e.g. Android and iOS) can use, but all of those articles I've read also refer to the Ubuntu PC being connected to the internet by a wired ethernet connection. I'm unclear whether the PC must have an internet connection for this to work.
Any suggestions?

A: Yes it's possible* Having internet connection has nothing to do with this set up**
*WiFi access point will depends on your wifi card and drivers, not ALL drivers support turning it into WiFI access point
**On second though the iOS or android might not like connecting to networks without internet? Not sure, unplug your internet cable from your WiFi router and try to connect to it from your device? But this really has nothing to do with ubuntu
***on third thought, it probably won't work. Mobile devices want to see internet, they'll probably think you need to authenticate and try to open a web browser. Not sure if you can tell them to connect without internet. Ask on iOS and android forums

Adelitas Way and Smashing Satellites will also perform in support. Dates for the July/August run can be seen online at: https://www.bandsintown.com/3pillmorning and are also listed below.
Commented vocalist Jeff Stebbins: "We are big TFK and Adelitas Way fans to begin with and, with our new album being released at the same time, it just adds to the excitement we have for this tour. We can't wait to bring a high energy show with new music, too!"
3 Pill Morning is currently gearing up for the release of its sophomore album Never Look Back, which will drop on July 29 on Countdown Entertainment with distribution through The Fuel Music. The 11-track effort was successfully funded with the help of fans via PledgeMusic.com.

Pledge gives us the ability to give the behind the scenes stories along with a bunch of killer in studio experiences to the people that support the band to no end! There's a lot that goes into making an album and seeing it and being a part of it is something pretty special."

About 3 Pill Morning:
There's an old saying in the music community: an artist gets their whole career to write a debut album but just a few months to write the follow-up. 3 PILL MORNING defies this cliché. There's no "slump" in their sophomore set. The cathartic vindication in expression drawn from shared experience and real life struggle shines through in 3PM's music even more brightly than before, taking shape in loud, passionate celebration.
Never Look Back is a blistering, diverse, dynamic and altogether reinvigorating powerhouse of soaring melodic hard rock from the depths of each band member's soul. As the album title suggests, the record pushes forward, with eyes on the prize, while drawing strength and resilience from all of the highs and lows that have come before.
The three men of the steadfast, hard-working, blue-collar hard rock band put their music where their hearts are, squeezing every drop of emotion they can summon into each and every note. 3 PILL MORNING songs are evocative, memorable, and relatable. 3PM elicit strong feelings of connection and fellowship for anyone who perseveres against life's setbacks. It's the kind of earnest, Midwestern rock n' roll destined for the radio dial and equally at home on a giant arena stage or in an intimate, dimly-lit roadside tavern.
These guys are possessed with an indie band vibe while operating expertly in the Active Rock world. They've gone on tour with Shinedown, In This Moment, Hollywood Undead, Sevendust, Saving Abel, Buckcherry, Escape The Fate, 12 Stones and Smile Empty Soul, all since forming roughly ten years ago in Minnesota. Yet they remain accessible to their fans, hanging by the merch, engaging on social media, playing spontaneously organized acoustic sets and inviting people into the album making process via crowd sourcing.
Never Look Back follows 3PM's well-received debut, Black Tie Love Affair, which earned accolades from major press outlets like Revolver, a spot on Billboard's Heatseekers chart and marked the band's entry into the Top 100 at Active Rock radio. Black Tie Love Affair truly put 3 PILL MORNING on the musical map, thanks to songs like "Skin," "I Want that For You" and "Loser."

Michael Kempa (Associate Professor) discusses the latest annual report of Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU). The annual report describes a "casework overload". Kempa provided CBC News with his analysis of the reasons for this increase.


he wild boar is an Old World species that existed since before the Ice Age. Evidence suggests that the wild boar, ancestor of the domesticated pig, was in human association perhaps as early as 13,000 B.C. Native wild boar can be found throughout Northern and Central Europe, the Mediterranean and as far south as Indonesia. In many of these cultures wild boar meat has figured prominently in the traditional diet.
The pigs that Spanish explorers first brought to the Americas were likely of the Iberian breed, a small, lean, tusked pig with a straight back, long narrow snout and small bristles. These first pigs adapted well in their new environment and many found their way to freedom, creating a population of feral pigs in the Americas.
Populations of wild boar were later introduced to North America for hunting in the 1890s, and again in several phases during the first half of the 20th century. Though they began on hunting preserves, some wild boar escaped and mated with feral descendants of domesticated pigs. So the wild boar of today are usually a hybrid breed, with characteristics of both Eurasian boars and feral pigs. The USDA requires that the meat from these animals be labeled as "feral swine," because the breed is indistinct.
Wild boar live a truly free-range lifestyle in the United States today. The trouble with wild boar is that they are now present in 39 states and number in the millions. They eat agricultural crops, root in gardens and destroy native grasses. Wild boar will prey upon livestock like lambs, kids, calves and other young animals. Farmers and ranchers are less than pleased with the presence of wild boar, so hunting is encouraged in many states where the boar have become a nuisance.
Texas is a state that is overrun with wild boar. There is a program to cut their numbers, which includes hunting and trapping. The humane trapping option involves large cages that trap but do not harm the wild boar. They are then taken to a USDA inspected slaughter house, where they are processed as domesticated hogs would be. D'Artagnan partners with experienced trappers in Texas to provide the best wild boar meat on the hoof.
Wild boar meat is similar to pork, but there are a few differences worth noting. As a game meat, wild boar meat is leaner and tends to be darker red than ordinary pork. Wild boar meat has an intense, sweet and nutty flavor, due in part to its wild diet of grasses and nuts and forage.

Ishan Kishan Net Worth, Salary, Endorsements, Cars and Houses Details
By Anurag Kumar
Prodigies aren't uncommon in Indian cricket. What's unusual in Ishan Kishan's journey is the fact that its roots originate in Jharkhand. With MS Dhoni – the biggest and perhaps only noteworthy name to have come out of the newly carved out state, it's no surprise that the young kid took to become a wicket-keeping batsman. Kishan quickly rose through the ranks and became one of the most explosive batsmen in Indian cricket. He was given the national cap in early 2021 at the age of 22 as he continues to represent India. Despite still taking baby steps into his international career, Kishan has gained a lot of professional and financial success. The following article provides an insightful look at the financial assets and net worth of Ishan Kishan.
Ishan Kishan Annual Salary
Despite being a featured player for the Indian cricket team, Ishan Kishan is yet to be assigned a BCCI Contract. Nonetheless, the 23-year-old is paid a stipulated sum of INR 6 Lakhs per ODI and INR 3 Lakhs per T20I in the form of a match fee. In addition to this, Kishan also gets a major chunk of his salary by representing the Mumbai Indians in the IPL. The Southpaw was bought by the Mumbai-based franchise for a whopping 6.2 Crores in 2018 and has been representing the MI Paltan ever since. It was during his stint with Mumbai that Ishan really hit the strides as a top-order batter.

Sponsorships and Endorsements
Being the future of Indian Cricket, Kishan has become one of the most marketable faces in the cricketing world. His increased popularity has caused him to be the center of attention and as a result, a lot of brands have associated themselves with him. Some of his brand collaborations include names like CEAT, Blitzpools, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and Manyavar. His association with the Mumbai Indians also makes him the indirect sponsor of global brands like Samsung, Colors, Marriot Bonvoy, and many others. It is expected that the left-hander earns a minimum of 7-figures through these endorsements.
Ishan Kishan Car Collection
The Bihar-born is a huge fanatic of luxury cars. Despite being in the early stages of his career, Ishan has quite a few lavish automobiles. At just 23, Kishan is a proud owner of some of the most popular car brands, namely BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, etc. His collection includes the BMW 5 Series (70 Lakhs), Ford Mustang (92 Lakhs), Mercedes-Benz S-Class (1 Crore).

Ishan Kishan Net Worth
The Net Worth of Ishan Kishan began multiplying since he started gaining popularity in the cash-rich league. His current net worth is estimated to be around $4 million (INR 28 crores). A major portion of his financial worth has come as a result of the salary he gets from the Mumbai Indians. Although brand money comprises a healthy sum of that too. At just 23, Ishan has a long road ahead of him with professional and financial success waiting for him.

The reported US citizen from a Hispanic background is reported to be a female player in her late twenties. She used multiple casino bonus codes to up her stakes and has been playing a secret system that has landed her and her family on USA's rich list.
Due to privacy laws none of the online casinos hosting her multiple accounts have been able to disclose how much exactly she has won, or confirm exactly which casinos she has been playing at; however, we can confirm that she appears to have been playing on multiple platforms that are in partnership. With this kind of speculation it is fair to assume that she has been playing on the Microgaiming, NetEnt or NYX platforms or on the Amaya gaming platform, which is also linked with multiple casino platform providers.
News of her 1 year rise in the online gaming industry has already hit Vegas where bigwigs are looking into ways to lure the big money female Hispanic American mystery girl to the city of sins!
Her style is said to be something that online casino bosses have never seen before, which initially raised red flags. One casino boss has said "I don't know about this story specifically, but it is an incredible story if it is true!' he went on to say that "Online casino produce millionaires almost on a daily basis these days, mainly through jackpot slots and high stakes wagers that swing in favor of the player; however, this girl has no doubt raised the red flags because she was consistently winning on multiple games with no rhyme nor reason".
He summed up by saying "Her style and consistent winning patterns and almost constant winning sessions will have made bosses suspicious – hacking the RNG codes or having some inside help are always areas casinos have to investigate when you have consistent winners, but in this young lady's case, she passed all the red tape and is simply just a very smart gambler. It could happen to anyone, and I have been in the business a long time and there are many similar stories like this one – what makes this one special is the fact that she has apparently came from nothing".
For a casino boss that says he doesn't know much about this story, he sure seems to know more than us!
Today online casino bonuses are the biggest we have ever seen, and they are far more lucrative as well as regularly marketed to players. As a result, there has been a huge increase in online millionaires courtesy of the online casinos compared to the early days of 1994 when the first online casinos began to hit the World Wide Web.


TIME: Thursday, April 13, 2017, 9:00 a.m.
Particle impact dampers (PIDs) or shot mass dampers are known to provide high loss factors on vibrating structures by dissipating kinetic energy through particle-enclosure and particle-particle collisions. The rate of energy dissipation is amplitude dependent, which makes the particle damping highly nonlinear. Previous studies have focused on horizontal excitation (perpendicular to gravity) for particle damping. Vertically excited systems (parallel to gravity) have also been studied in the literature, in which the excitation has generally been considered to be harmonic. However, harmonic disturbances do not accurately represent some cases where repetitive impacts occur, such as manufacturing and maintaining aircraft structures with the operations of riveting and chiseling. The proposed research is concerned with developing analysis methods for PIDs under periodic impulse excitation in the vertical direction. Particle damping is going to be analyzed for i) a single PID, ii) a cantilever beam with multiple PIDs attached to various locations on the beam, and iii) a simply supported plate with multiple PIDs attached to various locations on the plate. These analyses will be used for an optimization of a distributed array of PIDs on a cantilever beam and on a simply supported plate.

Yankton Only School District In The State With Mask Mandate
Following Monday night's action by the Huron and Mitchell School Boards, the Yankton School District is currently the only school district in the state to still have a mask mandate in place.
Associated School Boards of South Dakota Executive Director Wade Pogany says that Yankton, Huron, and Mitchell were the only school districts in the state to have a mask mandate previous to Monday.
The Mitchell mask mandate was in effect during the entire 2020-21 school year, was relaxed during the summer, and was re-adopted by the Mitchell School Board at the beginning of the current school year. Mitchell Schools Superintendent Joe Graves recommended the mask requirement come to an end. COVID-19 numbers have been low in the Mitchell School District this year.
In Huron, Coronavirus numbers have been minimal as well. The Huron school board Monday night voted to remove the masks.
Locally in Yankton, School Board Vice-President Franny Kiefer says the COVID numbers continue to remain high…
Yankton County reported 22 new COVID cases Tuesday. Fourteen new recoveries were recorded, with the number of active cases rising to 175.

KitGuru Games: PS5 Software – One Year Later
Mustafa Mahmoud December 19, 2021 Console, Featured Tech News, Software & Gaming
In a previous edition of the KitGuru Games column, we discussed the hardware of the PlayStation 5 and all that it has offered over the past year. Now, we will look at the latest and greatest that PlayStation has to offer on the software front.
Typically most video game consoles launch with a relatively paltry list of launch titles. The PlayStation 4 for example, launched with a disappointing list of games. Of the 19 launch titles (the likes of which included Angry Birds Star Wars and NBA Live 14), the only games still of note are Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag; Killzone Shadowfall; Resogun and Knack. While a decent chunk of the PS4's launch lineup is now forgettable in 2021 (and if we're being honest, was even forgettable back in 2013), the PS5's launch line-up saw the release of games which will likely still be talked about when the PlayStation 6 releases.
On the third-party side of things, the launch line-up was your typical affair – meaning mostly cross-gen titles, or upgrades of older PS4 games. On the first-party software front however, Sony knocked it out of the park. Even though some games launched across both PS4 and PS5, the games released by the console manufacturer included the likes of Demon's Souls and Spider-Man Miles Morales – both of which are just as fun and visually stimulating as the day they were released.
Unlike the PS4 generation – which felt like it took until 2015 at the earliest for the consoles to get going on the software front – the PlayStation 5's first year has been filled with many exciting titles already taking great advantage of the hardware at hand.
Even though the industry is very different from where it was in 2013, and PlayStation are now more willing to accept games coming to PC (as long as it does not release on other non-PlayStation consoles), the list of PS5 console exclusives within the system's first year has already done enough to justify the cost of admission into the latest generation (as well as the headache that comes along with trying to buy one of these systems).
Within the system's first year, on top of games such as Miles Morales and Kena: Bridge of Spirits, we were also treated to next-gen exclusives such as Returnal, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, Demon's Souls and Deathloop. On top of these, many PS4 games were also given comprehensive remasters fully taking advantage of the new hardware. Such titles included Spider-Man Remastered; Death Stranding Director's Cut; Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.
While none of these remasters were made vital if you have previously played them, for those who did not find the time to play any of these titles on the PS4, the next-gen versions proved themselves to be justifiable as a remastered package.
Additionally, many native PS4 games saw their performance unlocked to take advantage of the PS5. While not as impressive as Xbox's backwards compatibility, being able to play games such as The Last of Us Part II; God of War; Ratchet & Clank (2016); InFamous Second Son; Days Gone and so many more games at PS4 Pro resolutions and 60fps helps to give the PS5 even more justification during its first year on the market.
Again, due to certain limitations, these upgrades are not nearly as impressive as what Microsoft has been able to do (essentially offering full remasters) – though this has evolved over the past year. While not possible at launch, the PS5 can now push some PS4 games to 120fps without needing to release a bespoke PS5 version. Seeing this backwards compatibility improved within the first year bodes well for the future of the feature.
Of course, not all games were hits. Sony did publish and endorse some misses, including the likes of Destruction All-Stars; and Godfall. These games feel very much like first-year titles. Fortunately, most games released did not fall under this umbrella of filler titles, helping to make the PS5's first year line-up of games one of the best that PlayStation has ever curated.
Unfortunately, the user experience as it pertains to navigating the actual user interface is in many ways a downgrade. While it was somewhat disappointing to see the Xbox Series X share the same user interface with older Xbox consoles, the benefit to that is the fact that years of optimisations and improvements are brought forward to the new system. The PlayStation 5 meanwhile has an entirely new user interface.
After using this new UI for the past year, it can rather conclusively be said that in terms of pure convenience and efficiency, the PS5's UX is inferior to the PlayStation 4's. This isn't to say that I prefer the PS4's. The new UI is sleek, modern, and is in alignment with the hardware design of the console. Unfortunately, it seems as though Sony went for style over substance – and as a result, many common actions – such as checking your trophy list or searching for a game – can be quite cumbersome.
Furthermore, currently there are no themes available. While the dynamic nature of the new UI and the way in which the background changes depending on the game selected means that themes are simply less useful, being able to customise the console in a variety of ways would be fun – especially as many PS4 games would come with bonus themes. There is a possibility that themes will be added down the line, but one year later the feature is nowhere to be seen.
Ending things on a positive note, it is clear that Sony will continue to work on this software over the next decade of the PS5's existence. Within the past year, the console manufacturer has already released many updates adding some much-needed features. One of the most affecting came with the release of a software update for the DualSense controller. Thanks to the ability to receive software updates, and the advanced nature of the controller's haptics, Sony was able to update the DualSense controller to more accurately emulate the feel of the DualShock 4's rumble. Out of the box, the DualSense would rumble in a rather hollow manner when playing PS4 games. Sony rather quickly updated the controller, and now any time you play a PS4 game, the rumbles accompanying various moves are now much closer to that seen with the game's original release on the PS4.
This is representative of the positive future of the PS5's software. While it is currently still feeling somewhat incomplete, Sony have updated the system many times over the past year, fixing some of the most glaring issues. Players can now personalise the control centre, Game Base is much more useful than it was at launch, and PS4 games are now much more clearly defined – removing any confusion surrounding cross-gen titles.
This bodes well for the future of the platform – even if there are still many glaring and long-overdue missing features. Prior to launch, the PS5 was promised to be getting support for VRR (variable refresh rate) which helps to stabilise games which may have an inconsistent frame rate (as long as you have a VRR supported display). One year on and the feature is nowhere to be seen – though PlayStation has promised that it is in fact on its way.
The PlayStation 5's first year on the market has been an interesting one. Due to the current global situation surrounding COVID-19, many industries have been severely gimped, and so while this does not give Sony a free pass to offer half baked software, the more glaring omissions are somewhat understandable. Still, while the current software cannot compete with the PS4 in terms of both games and system UX, the last-gen system has benefited from more than 8 years worth of support. The one thing that can definitively be said is the fact that the PS5 one year on is in a much better position than the PS4 was after its first year on the market. With that trajectory, it will be interesting to see where the PS5 is at one year from now, three years from now, and – eventually – 7 years from now. The PS5 hardware review one year later can be found HERE.
