Why doesn't adgaem' stats match with my tracking system?
If you're using your own tracking system then you might find that our stats don't match up 100% with your own. This is usually due to the way we report duplicate clicks. Basically, if a click comes into AdGaem from an IP address that has already clicked the offer within the last 10 minutes then it will not count as a "unique" click in our tracking system. We only report on unique clicks with our tracking system to ensure that your statistics are not skewed in any way due to duplicate clicks.

How to seal the deal in this fast-paced, turbulent world.
From the January, 2001 Issue of FSB
By P.B. Gray,Carlye Adler
Ah, romance. At his second wedding, Neil Senturia shared sushi at sunset with his bride. Then the newlyweds dashed off to Scottsdale, Ariz., for a short honeymoon. Rather, call it a "moneymoon." After all, that's what the three-day getaway was all about, if you listen to Senturia. In the days before the wedding, he had been working on a deal to raise some $15 million for his company, Mohomine, a small online search firm in San Diego. Then, a glitch: The venture capitalist got sick. With apologies, the VC said the deal — and the dough — would have to wait until the newlyweds got home. But while on his honeymoon, Senturia met another money man in, of all places, the resort's gym.

CIA's In-Q-Tel offers tech testing ground
ASSOCIATED PRESS in Los Angeles
One day, technology entrepreneur Neil Senturia had an unexpected phone call from a man working for the CIA.
When a friend asked how it happened, Mr Senturia joked: "They're the CIA. They find anything they want."
Actually, the CIA has not always had the easiest time finding what it needs from the fast-moving world of technology, which is why three years ago it launched a non-profit venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel.
Since September 11, the unit's mission of investing in up-and-coming technologies has become more urgent. Fortunately for In-Q-Tel's 40 employees in Menlo Park and Arlington, Virginia, hundreds of technology companies have come calling.

Mohomine acquisition by Irvine company 'a good thing'. (Cyberbucks)
San Diego Business Journal, April, 2003 by Mike Allen
Another local software firm was acquired by a much larger, Orange County company, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
The purchase of Mohomine, a San Diego-based software firm specializing in data extraction and classification, by Irvine-based Kofax Image Products, has been all good, said Mohomine' s chairman and CEO, Neil Senturia.

Lemon Grove picks firm to negotiate with on redevelopment plan
By Michele Clock
LEMON GROVE – The city is eyeing an experienced redevelopment team to transform a slice of its downtown.
The Lemon Grove Community Development Agency – composed of the City Council – voted Tuesday night to exclusively negotiate a redevelopment deal with La Jolla based-Tipping Point Partners LLC.
The firm's managing partner helped redevelop downtown San Diego and has teamed with the former head of San Diego's Centre City Development Corp., among others, for the Lemon Grove project.
Over the next nine months, the city will evaluate Tipping Point's plan to revamp a 7-acre strip near the northern part of the city. The company envisions tree-lined streets, hundreds of new homes and a 12-story high-rise.
The plan focuses on an area from North Avenue to just north of City Hall, bounded by Main and Olive streets. It's the first of four portions of downtown Lemon Grove slated for redevelopment.

I have been a San Diego Padres season ticket subscriber for the past 14 years, and this year I did not renew. There was no particular reason. Maybe I didn't want the aggravation of giving away 79 games to my friends or maybe I didn't even have 79 friends.
Then Sandy Alderson, the new CEO of the Padres, called and said come on down to the park and talk to me. The Padres management put 14 former season ticket holders in a room 90 minutes before Wednesday night's game with the Cleveland Indians, and they said, "So, tell us why you did not renew your season tickets?"

Tech Innovation Alive and Well in San Diego
I attended the 21st annual UCSD Connect Life Sciences and High Tech Financial Forum on Thursday, and the good news is that technology in all its wonderful iterations, permutations and combinations is alive and well in San Diego. There were opportunities to invest in medical devices, a zoom lens for a cell phone, orphan nuclear receptors (bring back Spencer Tracy and the Boys Club), terrabyte storage devices and dark fiber.

As a repeat entrepreneur, Neil Senturia has fielded his share of calls from would-be investors inquiring about his company's products. But those calls did not prepare him for the day the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency rang to ask what his company was up to.
Much to his relief, the voice on the other end was not interested in whether Senturia's firm posed a threat to national security. Instead, it was a representative from the agency's venture capital fund sizing up a potential investment.

Frank Worrell
Sir Frank Mortimer Maglinne Worrell (1 August 1924 – 13 March 1967), sometimes referred to by his nickname of Tae, was a West Indies cricketer and Jamaican senator. A stylish right-handed batsman and useful left-arm seam bowler, he became famous in the 1950s as the first black captain of the West Indies cricket team. Along with Everton Weekes and Clyde Walcott, he formed what was known as "The Three Ws" of the West Indian cricket. He was the first of the two batsmen to have been involved in two 500-run partnerships in first-class cricket, the latter being Ravindra Jadeja.
In 2009, Worrell was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.
By 1947 his mother had moved to New York City and his father was away at sea most of the time so Worrell moved to Jamaica.
As a player for West Indies, Worrell made his debut in 1947–48 versus the England team of Gubby Allen. Following this series he took up residence in Lancashire, England to play for Radcliffe in the Central Lancashire League and to read economics at Manchester University. He made his highest Test score of 261 against England at Trent Bridge in 1950, and was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year for 1951.
Following a successful campaign led by C. L. R. James, who was then editor of The Nation in Trinidad, the period of white Test captaincy in the West Indies came to an end. Worrell became the first black cricketer to captain the West Indies cricket team for an entire series, thus breaking the colour barriers then found in West Indian cricket. He led the side on two particularly notable tours. The first was to Australia in 1960–61. Both Worrell and his opposing captain, Richie Benaud, encouraged their teams to play attacking cricket. The first Test of the series ended in a dramatic tie. Though West Indies lost the series 2-1, with one draw in addition to the tie, they took much credit for contributing to the series. Such was their performance and conduct on Australian soil that they were given a large ticker-tape parade in Australia at the end of their tour.
On 3 February 1962, Nari Contractor, the captain of the touring Indian team, received a career-ending head injury from a bouncer bowled by West Indies fast bowler Charlie Griffith. Worrell was the first player from both sides to donate blood to the injured Contractor, which saved his life.In 1963, West Indies toured England. They were again popular, and this time they also won the series 3-1, and it was West Indies' second series victory in England after their 3-1 win in 1950.
Worrell retired after the West Indies-England series. When he left professional cricket, he became Warden of Irvine Hall at the University of the West Indies, and was appointed to the Jamaican Senate by Sir Alexander Bustamante. He strongly supported a closer political union between the nations of the Caribbean. He was knighted for his services to cricket in 1964.
left to right: Ray Lindwall, Australian Prime Minister Robert Menzies, Lindsay Hassett, Frank Worrell.
Worrell managed the West Indies during the 1964–65 visit by Australia, and accompanied the team to India in the winter of 1966–67. It was while in India that he was diagnosed with leukaemia. He died at the age of 42, a month after returning to Jamaica. A memorial service was held in his honour in Westminster Abbey, the first time such an honour was granted to a sportsman.
Worrell was the First West Indian to carry his bat in a Test innings.
Since the 1960–61 series, the Frank Worrell Trophy has been awarded to the winner of the Test series between Australia and West Indies.
One of the two Halls of Residence at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Cave Hill Campus in Barbados, is named after him.
The Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground, also or formerly known as University of West Indies Ground, is a cricket stadium in Saint Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago.
Caribbean journalist Ernest Eytle (born Guyana 1918) wrote a biography of Worrell entitled Frank Worrell: The Career of a Great Cricketer in 1963.
In June 1988 Worrell was celebrated on the $2 Barbadian stamp alongside the Barbados Cricket Buckle.
In 1993, the annual Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Lecture was instituted at UWI Cave Hill by Professor Hilary Beckles, the inaugural lecture, entitled "Sir Frank and the rise of West Indies cricket", being delivered by Michael Manley in 1994.
In March 2002, "to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Central Bank of Barbados" a limited-edition $5 banknote bearing Worrell's likeness was issued.
In 2007, the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Committee was founded to mark the 40th anniversary of his death (which coincided with the opening match – West Indies vs Pakistan, Sabina Park, Jamaica – of the ICC Cricket World Cup in the West Indies). In 2009, the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Blood Drive was begun in Trinidad and Tobago, inaugurated by the 74-year-old Nari Contractor, to whom Worrell had donated blood after his head injury in 1962. In remembrance of this act, the Cricket Association of Bengal organises a blood donation drive on this day every year and the day is commemorated as Sir Frank Worrell Day in the state of West Bengal in India.
Mr Amarjit Tibb, founder of Tibb's Frankie, named an Indian Street food "Frankie" after Frank Worrell, his favourite cricketer. Frankie is an Indian wrap which was inspired after Lebanese pita wrap which Mr Tibb had in Beirut.

A Model of Continuous Improvement in High Schools: A Process for Research, Innovation Design, Implementation, and Scale
by Lora Cohen-Vogel, Marisa Cannata, Stacey A. Rutledge & Allison Rose Socol - 2016
This article describes a model for continuous improvement that guides the work of the National Center on Scaling Up Effective Schools, or NCSU. NCSU is a research and development center funded by the Institute for Education Sciences, the research arm of the United States Department of Education. At the core of the Center�s work is an innovative process to bring to scale practices that have been shown to improve student achievement in high schools in Broward County, Florida, and Fort Worth, Texas. To do so, the Center�s model of improvement relies on three core principles. First, a prototype is built to reflect the core elements of programs or practices that have been shown to be effective locally. Second, rapid-cycle testing is used to allow the prototype to be revised in ways that adapt it to a particular school context. Third, a researcher�practitioner partnership is employed that strives to both take advantage of and build local ownership and expertise. In so doing, the continuous improvement model addresses well-known challenges faced by those attempting to scale up educational innovations, challenges such as building teacher buy-in and attending to the organizational context in which innovations are to be enacted.

Looking at getting the, quantiTEC Rear Sequential LED Red/Smoked Tail Lights From the club store, has anyone got photos of them fitted to a NB.
i don't really fancy the chrome on a NB, I've had a search in the forum, but I'm on my phone so doesn't search properly.
are those the red/smoked lights ?
Fuzz71 – nope, they are the chrome/smoked lights bought off Kenny from the club shop 👍🏽, well worth it & looks 100x better at night.
Chrome from the club shop! Look mega.
Thanks for the reply's, think the chrome will be a bit to much for me. like the idea of the red smoked lights with the sequential indicators though. A bit more subtle for me.
When I'm back from my works trip, I'll be sticking an order in.
Evening all!! I really liked these when I saw them. I couldn't decide whether tae get the Smoked Chrome or the Smoked Red?? Then I saw my standard lamps in a couple of photos I had taken…. As soon as the daylight fades away the Standard Lamps look better than both these options!!
Obviously the Standard Lamps aren't sequential but HEY HO!! Lol!!
Red/smoked on a black RS. Think these look great.

These wireless camera systems were originally developed to provide the ultimate in security for banks, and traditionally used by security intensive operations like casinos and airports.
Today closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras are so inexpensive and simple enough to be used by any one at home, work and other place of interest.
Now that this powerful technology is within the reach of the average consumer, it makes an effective part of any home security system, as well as everyday surveillance.
Closed circuit means the video is connected directly to the recording or viewing source without being broadcast.
For the professionals, it's still the choice of businesses like retail stores and shopping centers to discourage, detect and prevent crimes.

Whitworth welcomes Emmy Award nominee Randall Balmer Sept. 29
>> Listen to Podcast
An American author, Episcopal priest, Dartmouth University professor and historian of American religion, Randall Balmer is a man of many roles and with many insights to share. Balmer will present "His Own Received Him Not: Jimmy Carter, the Religious Right, and the 1980 Presidential Election" at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 29, in Weyerhaeuser Hall's Robinson Teaching Theatre. This lecture is free and open to the public.
"Randall Balmer is one of the leading historians of American religion and its impact on the American political landscape," Kathy Lee, professor of political science, says. "His research emerges from his own Christian commitment, a commitment that has been informed by both American evangelicalism, a tradition in which he was raised, and his ordination as a priest in the Episcopal Church."
Balmer has written more than a dozen books and published countless articles in both scholarly journals and the popular press. His second novel, Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory: A Journey into the Evangelical Subculture in America, was adapted into a PBS documentary for which he received an Emmy Award nomination.
Located in Spokane, Wash., Whitworth is a private liberal arts university affiliated with the Presbyterian church. The university, which has an enrollment of nearly 3,000 students, offers 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

P'eng's Journey to the Southern Darkness is the first London solo exhibition of Taiwanese artist Ting-Tong Chang (MFA Fine Art, 2011), who creates large-scale installations that look to analyse the relationship between science, technology and society.
The title of the exhibition comes from influential Daoist philosopher Zhuangzi's text Free and Easy Wandering. The story follows a fish in the North Ocean who turns into a giant bird and sets to travel to the South Ocean while a cicada and a dove ridicule him for attempting this. As in the story of Zhuangzi, Ting-Tong's durational performances and his contemporary automata anthropomorphise other self-generating subjectivities such as fish, caterpillars, mosquitoes and crows.
In the exhibition are four kinetic sculptures of crows on elevated plinths and a collection of taxidermy birds, with internal computer circuits in their stomachs exposed, together announce failures of the artist by pronouncing rejection letters from numerous open calls to which he has applied.
The birds are surrounded by film documentation of various representative performances. For each piece, Ting-Tong collaborated with scientists and engineers to create a self-sustaining ecology within which he integrated himself by living on nothing else but fish and caterpillars, or provided his own blood to feed mosquitoes.
Presented together with these works is a series of drawings Ting-Tong created while he confined himself in these self-torturing ecosystems. Depicted illustrations unfold his cynical yet comical imagination of the Darwinian survival-of-the-fittest ecology of the 'art world' he has taken part of over the past decade as a foreign migrant from Asia.
P'eng's Journey to the Southern Darkness (南冥有鳥, 其名為鵬) and its collateral events are curated by Eiko Honda (BA History of Art, 2008), overseas curatorial fellow, Agency for Cultural Affairs, Japan. Find out more about the exhibition and associated events.
Ting-Tong Chang (MFA Fine Art, 2011) was born in Taiwan and currently lives and works in London. The themes explored in Ting-Tong's installations echo his early life in a Chinese society focused on manufacturing, exportation and the materialism associated with an industrial area. When he moved to the UK, his artistic style evolved to address the wider issues of consumerism in Western society and the environmental concerns that have stemmed from this dichotomist relationship. Ting-Tong describes his journey to the West as the move from one machine to another, from the production of products and the resulting pollution to a machine that generates profit and crisis.
Ting-Tong has exhibited and received a number of awards internationally. Recent solo shows include at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop (2014), Manchester Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art (2015) and Christine Park Gallery London (2016). His major awards include the Edinburgh Creative Initiative Award 2013, Bursary Award 2015 of Royal British Society of Sculptors and RISE Award 2016 at Art Central Hong Kong.

Other Contributions: Nayak headed the WHO South East Asia Regional Office's Expert Committee on Chronic Liver Diseases and Liver Cancer. Being invited by the Kuwait University to chair the Department of Pathology at the Faculty of Medicine, he redesigned its professional, educational and research programmes during his nine year tenure. He was Team Leader of the Indo-US, Indo-British, Indo-German and Indo-Russian research projects on Liver Cancer and was nominated Expert to various Health and other Science organizations.
Awards and Honours: Professor Nayak was conferred Basanti Devi Amir Chand Award, Amrut Modi Unichem Award by ICMR, Sir Sriram Oration Award by the National Academy of Medical Sciences, Hari Om Ashram Award by the Medical Council of India, first Visiting Scientist Award by the Japanese Society for Promotion of Science, FICCI Award for excellence in Science and Technology Research including Agriculture, and several National/International Oration awards.

Teardown: Memoir of a Vanishing City
Teardown Excerpt
Gordon Young
Journalism Clips
Flint Expats on Facebook
@FlintExpats on Twitter
Time Magazine takes a look at Flint:
"No place has felt the pain of General Motors' collapse quite as completely as Flint, Mich., which is about an hour's drive north of Detroit. Back in the early 1970s, GM had as many as 80,000 employees around Flint, making it one of the premier company towns in the U.S. But as GM's fortunes have fallen, so have those of Flint. GM is still the largest employer in town by far, but its Flint payroll has dropped to fewer than 8,000. Meanwhile, the Genesee County Land Bank owns more than 4,000 vacant residential properties in and around Flint, which had 124,000 residents at the last census. Today, streets are mostly abandoned, the average value of a single-family home has dropped to $16,400 and the city's unemployment rate hovers at 27%, which is two points better than it was in August when it hit 29%. "

"I grew up on the Eastside and recall the unexplained pride I felt when the 3:30 Buick factory whistle blew and the roughly dressed workers poured out of the General Motors labyrinth swinging their lunch pails. Some were headed for home and some for the corner bar, but all with the determined step of an army after a battle won. I somehow felt as if I were a part of this giant assembly line and the city it fed."

Netflix's 'Russian Doll': Confusing, But So, So Compelling | 4*
Natasha Lyonne is staring at herself in the bathroom mirror; tap running, someone banging on the door. Harry Nilsson's lyrics ('gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get home before the morning comes') reverberate through her ears for the 10th time.
With her signature curly ginger hair and dressed like some kind of fucking epic modern glam rock star, she paces through the party and hears her best friend Maxine say 'Sweet birthday baby!' – for the 10th time.
Netflix's new series Russian Doll sounds like a riff on Groundhog Day on paper, and in a lot of ways it is. But Groundhog Day didn't feature this much eyeliner, ridiculously cool pointed boots and strange pronunciations of the word cockroach.
Being created by Lyonne herself, along with Leslye Headland and Amy Poehler, it's a very different vision to the Bill Murray-starring original story of someone dying and reliving the same day all over again.
Fans of Orange Is The New Black will recognise Natasha Lyonne, and though her character here of Nadia has undoubtedly got her shit far more together than prisoner Nichols, they have a fair amount in common – namely their quick wit, passion for drugs and a hardened exterior that gives way to a much kinder, softer centre. Lyonne is being peak herself here from the get go, so much that at first, before the real character stuff kicks in, it almost feels like too much.
The first three episodes in general do the series as a whole a disservice. They set up the premise well, and quickly, and deliver the whole dying/rebooting in a very comedic and effective way, but it feels hard at first to grasp the reason why everyone has been raving so much about this show.
Episode 4 onwards, however, is a whole different ball game. As soon as Nadia meets Alan – a pivotal character whose relevance will be revealed no further – everything steps up a gear, feels more cohesive and like it has direction, and the two become an unlikely duo that really give Russian Doll its heart, and compelling charm.
Once the two meet and start to try and figure out what's going on; that's when the magic happens. In getting to know each other, we get to know them too, and they're incredibly likeable people.
Far too rarely do we get to see characters as well rounded and crafted as Lyonne's Nadia on our screens. She's cool, obviously, with killer fashion sense and withering one liners – but she's also sensitive, generous and loves her cat. She's found it hard to commit in relationships, but has a beautiful maternal one with the therapist that raised her. She has trauma around her birth mother, which is a major driver for the show in terms of plot – but hasn't let it stop her putting her vast intelligence into becoming an incredibly capable computer programmer. She's good and bad, wrong and right, and it's inspiring to see. Who'd have guessed that when you give women creative control, they produce remarkable female characters?
The charm continues to dial up as you get through the short and snappy episodes, but when it comes to figuring out why Nadia keeps reliving the same day over again, it's best not to look too closely. She has a number of realisations along the way, with her past coming back to haunt her (literally) and a growing tension as things seems to deteriorate around her with each rebirth, but none of the threads are really explained and rationalised. It lands on a core concept that is pulled off with such heart and soul in the final episode you'll be muttering about having something in your eye, but even when the credits finish you'll feel none the wiser about what just happened.
But maybe that's okay. Maybe we don't need everything to be tied up so neatly to appreciate a story as brilliant and engaging as 'Russian Doll'.
Similarly to the impeccable comedy The Good Place, this show seems to examine what we owe to each other, in life and after it. Maybe Lyonne, Headland and Poehler felt that all they owed to us, the viewer, was a bloody good show, and to leave us wanting more – and on that front, they certainly delivered.

Q: Delete table row when number from one column is within a string in another column Below presented a table where the third column is a cell array of doubles and the last column is a cell array of chars. I would like to delete row number 248 based on the condition that 'Subject moved a bit at the beginning of 2nd minute' contains the digit 2, which equals to the value of the third column of this row.
I have implemented it by the following:
commentMinNum = regexp(cellfun(@string, T2.comments(:)),'\d','Match');
commentMinNumInd = find(~cellfun(@isempty, commentMinNum));
extractMinNum = cell2mat(cellfun(@double, commentMinNum, 'UniformOutput', false));
deleteCond = T2.minNum(commentMinNumInd) == extractMinNum;
T2(commentMinNumInd(deleteCond), :) = [];

This implementation seems complex and wordy for such a simple task. I would like to know if there is a more straightforward approach. Do I miss anything or Matlab wants me to suffer? :)

A: Given table t:
name = {'TLVPivotal07';'TLVPivotal07';'TLVPivotal07'};
regularityStatus = [1;1;0];
minNum = [1;2;3];
comments = {'Subject moved a bit at the beginning of the 2nd minute';
'Subject moved a bit at the beginning of the 2nd minute';
'Subject moved a bit at the beginning of the 2nd minute'};

t = table(name,regularityStatus,minNum,comments);

A possible solution which uses regex to check whether the value in the second column is in the comments string:
indx = (1:numel(t.comments)).';
tInd = ~cellfun(@isempty,arrayfun(@(x,y) regexp(t.comments(y), [num2str(x) '[a-z]{2} minute'],'match','once'),t.minNum,indx));
t(tInd,:) = []

will eliminate the desired row(s).

When working on shaders, be sure to enable r.ShaderDevelopmentMode by setting it to 1. The easiest way is to edit ConsoleVariables.ini so it is done every time you load. This will enable retry-on-error and shader development related logs and warnings.
Use Ctrl+Shift+. to recompile shaders that have changed, after you save changes to a .usf file. If you change a file that is included in many shaders (e.g. common.usf), this can take a while. If you want to iterate on a material, you can trigger recompile of the material by making a small change to the material (for example, move node) and using the 'Apply' in the material editor.
Global shaders are shaders which operate on fixed geometry (like a full screen quad) and do not need to interface with materials. Examples would be shadow filtering, or post processing. Only one shader of any given global shader type exists in memory.
Materials are defined by a set of states that control how the material is rendered (blend mode, two sided, etc) and a set of material inputs that control how the material interacts with the various rendering passes (BaseColor, Roughness, Normal, etc).
Defines what the vertex factory needs as input to the vertex shader. These must match the vertex declaration in the C++ side FVertexFactory. For example, LocalVertexFactory's FVertexFactoryInput has float4 Position : POSITION;, which corresponds to the position stream declaration in FStaticMeshLODResources::SetupVertexFactory.
Used to store cached intermediate data that will be used in multiple vertex factory functions. A common example is the TangentToLocal matrix, which had to be computed from unpacked vertex inputs.
Vertex factory data to be passed from the vertex shader to the pixel shader.
This is called from the vertex shader to get the world space vertex position. For Static Meshes this merely transforms the local space positions from the vertex buffer into world space using the LocalToWorld matrix. For GPU skinned meshes, the position is skinned first and then transformed to world space.
Transforms the FVertexFactoryInput to FVertexFactoryInterpolants, which will be interpolated by the graphics hardware before getting passed into the pixel shader.
This is called in the pixel shader and converts vertex factory specific interpolants (FVertexFactoryInterpolants) to the FMaterialPixelParameters structure which is used by the pass pixel shaders.
Shaders using FMaterialShaderType are pass specific shaders which need access to some of the material's attributes, and therefore must be compiled for each material, but do not need to access any mesh attributes. The light function pass shaders are an example of FMaterialShaderType's.
Shaders using FMeshMaterialShaderType are pass specific shaders which depend on the material's attributes AND the mesh type, and therefore must be compiled for each material/vertex factory combination. For example, TBasePassVS / TBasePassPS need to evaluate all of the material inputs in a forward rendering pass.
Vertex factories are included in this matrix based on their ShouldCache function, which depends on the material's usage. For example, bUsedWithSkeletalMesh being true will include the GPU skin vertex factories. FMeshMaterialShaderType's are included in this matrix based on their ShouldCache function, which depends on material and vertex factory attributes. This is a sparse matrix approach to caching shaders and it adds up to a large number of shaders pretty quick which takes up memory and increases compile times. The major advantage over storing a list of actually needed shaders is that no list has to be generated, so needed shaders have always already been compiled before run time on consoles. UE4 mitigates the shader memory problem with shader compression, and the compile time problem with multicore shader compilation.
This generates the material shader type's global metadata, which allows us to do things like iterate through all shaders using a given shader type at runtime.
A typical material pixel shader type will first create a FMaterialPixelParameters struct by calling the GetMaterialPixelParameters vertex factory function. GetMaterialPixelParameters transforms the vertex factory specific inputs into properties like WorldPosition, TangentNormal, etc that any pass might want to access. Then a material shader will call CalcMaterialParameters, which writes out the rest of the members of FMaterialPixelParameters, after which FMaterialPixelParameters is fully initialized. The material shader will then access some of the material's inputs through functions in MaterialTemplate.usf (GetMaterialEmissive for the material's emissive input for example), do some shading and output a final color for that pass.
Materials used with rendering viewmodes like lighting only.
Materials used as fallbacks when there is a compilation error (DefaultDecalMaterial, DefaultMaterial, etc).
Materials whose shaders are used when rendering other materials in order to cut down on the number of shaders that have to be cached. For example, an opaque material's depth-only shaders will produce the same depth output as the DefaultMaterial, so the DefaultMaterial's shaders are used instead and the opaque material skips caching the depth-only shader.
UE4 compiles shaders asynchronously using a streaming system. Compile requests are enqueued when materials load that do not have a cached shader map, and compile results are applied as they become available, without blocking the engine. This is optimal in terms of load time and compile throughout, but it does mean that there are quite a few layers between the actual platform shader compile and the material that requested it.
The actual compiling work is done in helper processes called the Shader Compile Workers, because the platform shader compile functions (D3DCompile) often contain critical sections within them that prevent multi-core scaling within a single process.
There are some settings to control how compilation is done which can simplify debugging of the shader compilers. These can be found in the [DevOptions.Shaders] section of BaseEngine.ini.
Whether to launch the SCW to call the compiler DLL's or whether UE4 should call the compiler DLL's directly. If disabled, compiling will be single-core.
Whether compiling should be done on another thread within UE4.
If you want to step into the shader compiler DLL's directly from UE4 (CompileD3D11Shader for example), you should set both of these to false. Compilation will take a long time though, so make sure all other shaders have been cached.
With r.ShaderDevelopmentMode enabled, you will get the opportunity to retry on shader compile error. This is especially important for global shaders since it is a fatal error if they do not compile successfully.
In debug, with the debugger attached, you will hit a breakpoint and get the compile error in the Visual Studio output window. You can then Double-click the error log to be taken directly to the offending line.
Once shaders are compiled, they are stored in the Derived Data Cache. They contain, in their key, a hash of all the inputs to the compile, including shader source files. That means that changes to shader source files are automatically picked up every time you re-launch the engine or do a 'recompileshaders changed'.
When you are modifying FShader Serialize functions, there is no need to handle backward compatibility, just add a space to a shader file that is included by that shader.
When cooking assets, material shaders are inlined into the material's package, and global shaders are stored seperately in a global shader file which allows them to be loaded early in the engine startup.
Then verify that the scale is right, and the result is not view dependent. However this method does not scale very well to more complex shaders that build data structures.
If you leave this setting on, it can fill your HD with many tiny files and folders.
If you are working on a global shader, recompileshaders changed or Ctrl+Shift+. is the fastest way to iterate. If the shader takes a long time to compile, you might consider specifying CFLAG_StandardOptimization as a compile flag in the shader's ModifyCompilationEnvironment.
If you are working on a material shader, like BasePassPixelShader.usf, it is much faster to iterate on a single material. Every time you click the Apply button in the material editor, it will re-read shader files from disk and recompile just that material.
The HLSL Cross Compiler is used to automatically convert HLSL into GLSL for OpenGL platforms, allowing shaders to be authored only once for all platforms. It is run during offline shader compilation and performs various optimizations to the code that OpenGL drivers are frequently missing.
AsyncCompute is a hardware feature that is available on some APIs that work with certain GPUs. It allows interleaving to better utilize the hardware units in the GPU more efficiently.

Tehran, Dec 15, IRNA – International Committee of Red Crescent (ICRC) coordinator on war disappeared affairs said the committee has been cooperating with Iran and Iraq to clarify situation of war disappeared.
Ms. Eva Pohar, in a press conference here in the venue of ICRC representative office in Tehran on Sunday, said around 60,000 people disappeared in the eight years of Iraq-Iran war and search operation and delivery of corpses have been done by representatives of the two governments.
She said that Foreign Ministries of Iran and Iraq have the main responsibility for exchanging corpses of the disappeared of the eight-year war.
As ICRC had important role in exchanging prisoners of war during the war, now it is offering technical support in direction of negotiation related to the issue.
She added that demining operation and collecting ammunition left from war era are among main duties of the ICRC.
Pohar said that Iran has done good work concerning the operation and that is why figures for victims caused by such ammunition are low.
She continued that from 60,000 disappeared of the war, 10,000 belong to Iran.
Pohar stressed that Iranˈs strategic position and importance in the region, has made it possible to do logistic operation for humanitarian purposes in other countries.

Miley Cyrus has been in the spotlight for almost her entire life. She began as a Disney star, and today, she's a provocative pop singer. However, it pretty much seems like Cyrus always has her life together since she hasn't fallen into the pits of despair like Britney Spears or Paris Hilton. Maybe that's why she can get away with moves like her latest Instagram picture, where the star uploaded a video of her smoking what we can only assume is marijuana.
As marijuana laws are becoming increasingly lax, Cyrus probably doesn't feel that she has to hide her love for the drug. Thus, we can expect to see a lot more Instagram photos of the singer puffing away in the future.

Learning to Count
by Douglas Burnet Smith
In Learning to Count, Douglas Burnet Smith explores the counterpoint between everyday, often innocent, experiences and the darker elegiac tones of history. The lyricism of Tuscany's sublime skies merges into J.M.W. Turner's obsession with clouds and the author's own retracing of Turner's sources of inspiration. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, Louis Riel, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Benito Mussolini, Robert Desnos, Napoleon and a contemplative lizard on a Corsican mountainside all have their roles to play.
In brutal contrast, the author, taking his own child to a school in France, encounters horrifying evidence of the murder of hundreds of children by French Nazi collaborators. But throughout, Smith measures the impact of his encounters with distinctly Canadian insight and awareness. And so finally the journey returns home, to Canada, to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where Pablo Picasso magically leads a naked chorus line through the streets of the city. The journey has been exhilarating, exhausting, at times almost unbearable – but always, always magical.

Douglas Burnet Smith
Douglas Burnet Smith is the author of over a dozen books of poetry. His work has won the Malahat Review's Long Poem Prize, and has been nominated for a Governor General's Award and the Atlantic Poetry Prize. He has been Writer in Residence at a number of universities in Canada and the U. S., and has served as President of the League of Canadian Poets, as well as Chair of the Public Lending Right Commission of Canada. He teaches at St. Francis Xavier University, in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, and at the American University of Paris. He divides his time between Canada, France, and Argentina.
"Smith adeptly juxtaposes tough, laconic vernacular, vigorous imagery, and startling metaphor. A poet whose resources are dynamic and unforgettable."
~Event
"Always, in our best poetry, the hovering care for place. Douglas Burnet Smith hears landscape; he hears the way it resounds in the people who travel its subtle and complex surface. Landscape for Smith is a kind of musical instrument."
~Robert Kroetsch
"Given Kroetsch's assertion that Burnet Smith "hears landscape," the poems in Learning to Count are best understood as site-specific recordings. Burnet Smith's poems function as subtle accretions, as lilting songs that are not complete until the last line has been sung. But the effect of his poems — and their range, capturing the instant and the epic equally well — is magnificent."
~Ariel Gordon, Winnipeg Free Press
"These poems are not about travel; they are about the shocks — and pleasures — of recognitions of international, cultural similarities. The manner recalls shifts and juxtapositions of Pound's epic The Cantos, but the content is more playful….Smith's lyrics are very fine, and there's even a touch of the epigrammatic here and there…. Count on these poems."
~George Elliott Clarke, Chronicle Herald
"This book shows that the experience of crossing borders… is integral to anyone alive to—and in—the world."
~Calgary Herald
"… a wise and ably structured collection of personal memoirs bolstered by a scaffolding of history, philosophy and art….The Dektet has done well to find this poet a home, and he has rewarded them with a work that adores the world, but understands that poetry is an intimate thing, and that a marriage of the two needs a thoughtful, patient hand."
~Globe and Mail (one of three poetry books on the Globe 100 for 2010)
"Travel writing used to be a nostalgic adventure-story or anthropological ghetto of non-fiction. This book shows that the experience of crossing borders and negotiating cultures is integral to anyone alive to – and in – the world. The poems are a layered patina, evoking not only the sensual present of France, Rome, Corsica and Halifax, but also their complex pasts, interpreted over and over through art."
~Jury, Dektet 2010

In the blogs: What a relief
By Jeff Stimpson June 23, 2020, 4:54 p.m. EDT 3 Min Read
Notices finally arriving; big breaks for Oprah and Walmart; the snares of working remotely; and other highlights from our favorite tax bloggers.
What a relief
Tax Warrior Chronicles (https://www.taxwarriors.com/blog): Favorite opening of the week: "We are starting to compare the Paycheck Protection Program to extra-innings in the longest baseball game ever recorded. It is now inning 19, two full games have been played, the only fans in the stands are the super-fans (nerdy tax advisors and weary borrowers), and the Treasury just hit a 2-out single with nobody on base."
National Taxpayer Advocate (https://taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/about/nta-blog): During the shutdown, the IRS generated more than 20 million notices that never saw a mailbox (including ours, as it turns out). As a result, the notices' deadlines have passed (some by several months) and some of the notices require taxpayers to respond by deadlines that also have passed. There is a silver lining, tell your affected and probably hair-pulling clients: Notice 1052-A, enclosed.
Tax Girl (https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/): Additional data from PPP loans is headed to the public eye. Namely, the names of businesses that received loans of $150,000 or more, as well as business addresses, business types, demographic data, jobs supported by the business and the NAICS number.
Tax Vox (https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox): Should Congress manipulate the timing of business tax benefits to support firms in the midst of the COVID-19 economic slump? And if so, how?
Sikich (https://www.sikich.com/insights/): Under the CARES Act, qualified individuals can receive favorable tax treatment for distributions from eligible retirement plans as long as the distributions were taken as a relief measure relating to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. A look at the latest guidance.
Taxing Subjects (https://www.drakesoftware.com/blog): Concerning the above, the guidance expands the categories of individuals eligible for these kinds of distributions and loans and gives examples of tax treatment.
Avalara (https://www.avalara.com/us/en/blog.html): A COVID-19 tax relief roundup, covering sales tax, state-specific taxes and a host of other topics.

Rubin on Tax (http://rubinontax.floridatax.com): How formula clauses, used when property with uncertain value is transferred by gift or sale, received a boost in Wandry v. Commissioner.
Procedurally Taxing (https://procedurallytaxing.com): Guest blogger Rochelle Hodes, principal at Crowe LLP, provides a timely discussion of "the ever-popular" IRC 6751(b) and another way it may help your client when the IRS seeks to penalize.
Mauled Again (http://mauledagain.blogspot.com/): Another recent Tax Court case, Strashny v. Comr., is a useful example of why installment agreements are designed to help taxpayers who are in difficult financial situations (and not those who aren't, especially when it comes to cryptocurrency).

Why pay them "retirement" payments and pay them a salary to keep working? A look at the structure of a contract that could keep everyone happy in this oddly prevalent situation.
Taxbuzz (https://www.taxbuzz.com/blog): Even as companies continue to reopen their doors, some are moving to have their employees work remotely permanently. Here's what these employees will need to know about the tax implications — including potential tax liability in multiple jurisdictions.
Boyum & Barenscheer (https://myboyum.com/blog/): Family businesses make up most of companies in the U.S. and produce nearly two-thirds of the country's GDP. They also potentially face higher fraud risk.

Carrie 'lead foot" Underwood got in a little trouble with the law. The singer revealed on social media she was just pulled over for speeding for the first time in her life.
"Well, it happened today. After 18 years, I can no longer say I've never been pulled over for speeding," she wrote. "I feel so ashamed!"
Lucky for Carrie she had an understanding cop, but the whole thing was a bit emotional for her. "I may or may not have cried in my car after the cop let me go" she shared, with the hashtags, "#RuleFollower #GrannyDriver #ImSorry"

Movie Review: 'IT COMES AT NIGHT' infects horror with a new vision of terror
Preston Barta // Features Editor
Rated R, 97 minutes.
Director: Trey Edward Shults
Cast: Joel Edgerton, Carmen Ejogo, Christopher Abbott, Riley Keough, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Griffin Robert Faulkner and David Pendleton
Have you ever watched a movie that you were dying to see but when the end credits came up you thought, "Wait… that's it?" I can certainly remember that feeling in 2004 when the trailers for M. Night Shyamalan's THE VILLAGE led us to believe we were going to watch a terrifying monster movie. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
While it didn't meet my expectations, I haven't been able to shake THE VILLAGE after all these years. I suppose I have generic Hollywood moviemaking and misleading marketing to thank for my initial disappointment, because whenever I see a film that screws up my radar I'm quick to label it awful, when the truth is I'm afraid for a movie to make me feel different.
Similarly, and more effectively, Trey Edward Shults' follow-up to his equally as obscure domestic drama KRISHA (our review), IT COMES AT NIGHT, is sure to divide horror audiences, but will also attach itself like a leech to invade your thoughts and dreams.
The film takes place after an enigmatic virus wipes out most of civilization, or at least that's what the audience can conclude. Sensibly, IT COMES AT NIGHT throws you in the middle of its fearsome situation without much explanation. The disease itself is only scarcely understood by its characters, so it's up to the viewer to sweep up the breadcrumbs along the way to make sense of it all.
Carmen Ejogo and Kelvin Harrison Jr. in a tension-filled scene from 'IT COMES AT NIGHT.' Courtesy of A24.
At the film's opening we see one of its characters equipped with a gas mask and gloves while they attempt to bring about peace to an old man on his deathbed. The beloved old man (David Pendleton) is the father of Sarah (Carmen Ejogo), who, with her husband Paul (Joel Edgerton) and 17-year-old son Travis (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), are trying to survive a global epidemic by living deep in the woods. Each day creeps by, but they are determined to defeat the outbreak. So when Sarah's dad shows signs of the infection, Paul shoots him and burns his corpse. Nothing against the guy; it's just a survival tactic.
However, the family's lives are truly upended when an intruder (Christopher Abbott) comes looking for food and shelter for his own family (Riley Keough and Griffin Robert Faulkner). Henceforth, IT COMES AT NIGHT fashions itself to become quite the intense game of paranoia, trust and regret.
If you are craving a conventional horror movie with exciting scares and clearly defined answers, seek elsewhere. This is not that movie. Truthfully, IT COMES AT NIGHT has more in common with Shults' previous film KRISHA than your common wide-release horror film. There are no real scares to be found, only a continuous sense of dread that doesn't let up. It's a film that is more interested in constructing a specific atmosphere that allows viewers to stew.
That's not to say there aren't moments that'll make you shriek or hold your armrest with a deadly grip. Shults stylishly and expertly generates a whirlpool of tension and mystery, occasionally mirroring what we often see in our darkest of nightmares. The couple's son, Travis, has dreams in the film that showcase these frightening images to an overwhelming degree.
IT COMES AT NIGHT provides more questions than answers, often sinking too deep into ambiguity for audiences to come up for air. This narrative structure is simultaneously its greatest draw and most frustrating flaw. Whether it leaves you unappeased or blown away, its allegorical themes will follow you home and haunt you for days.
IT COMES AT NIGHT opens on Friday (6/9).

Preston Barta
Features Editor
Hello, there! My name is Preston Barta, and I am the features editor of Fresh Fiction and senior film critic at the Denton Record-Chronicle. My cinematic love story began where I was born: off planet on the isolated desert world of the Jakku system. It's there I passed the time scavenging for loose parts with my good friend Rey. One day I found an old film projector and a dusty reel of the 1975 film JAWS. It rocked my world so much that I left my kinfolk in the rearview (I so miss their morning cups of green milk) to pursue my dreams of writing about film. It wasn't long until I met two gents who said they would give me a lift. I can't recall their names, but one was an older man who liked to point a lot and the other was a tall, hairy fella. They got me as far as one of Jupiter's moons where we crossed paths with the U.S.S. Enterprise. Some pointy-eared bastard said I was clear to come aboard. He saw that I was clutching my beloved shark movie and invited me to the "moving pictures room" where he was screening the 1993 film JURASSIC PARK to his crew. He said my life would be much more prosperous if I were familiar with more work by the god named Steven Spielberg. From there, my love for cinema blossomed. Once we reached planet Earth, everything changed. I found the small town of Denton, TX, and was welcomed into the Barta family. They showed me the writings of local film critic Boo Allen. He became my hero and caused me to chase a degree in film and journalism. After my studies at graduate of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I met some film critics who showed me the ropes and got me into my first press screening: 2011's THE GREEN LANTERN. Don't worry; I recovered just fine. MAD MAX: FURY ROAD was only four years away.

It was the only HIV/AIDS prevention film made in East Germany. It was produced by DEFA film studios on commission for the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden.

Synopsis
The film follows a young filmmaker as she goes to a blood bank to have an AIDS test, while she reflects in a stream-of-consciousness style on her own sex life. She interviews a doctor at the blood bank. The film also follows the AIDS prevention group Aidsgesprächskreises (English: AIDS discussion circle) at a disco as they discuss AIDS prevention and shows the ignorance and embarrassment of some young people about the disease. An AIDS expert explains how the disease is transmitted via exchange of body fluids and clarifies that it is not a "gay disease". The film also interviews an anonymous young man who had recently tested positive and discusses his initial shock and emotions.
