Dementia is an age associated illness with a devastating impact on patients and their families. In the USA, the broader society impact of dementia continues to be overwhelming, due largely to the huge health care and economic burden associated with the disease. Although the projected numbers of those affected, the economic, healthcare, and caregiver costs continue to have a place in US public policy, it is only recently that these issues are beginning to take a center stage in other regions in the world with their aging populations. It has been estimated that 35.6 million people are living with dementia worldwide—a number that is projected to increase to 65.7 million by 2030 and 115.4 million by 2050.
Approximately, 60% of the worlds' population lives in the Asian Pacific region—a home to many different ethnic groups. This issue of the International Journal of Alzheimer's Disease is dedicated to dementia in the Asian and Pacific region and discusses from an Asian-Pacific perspective common themes often noted in the literature from Europe and North America. Themes discussed in this special issue include (1) the prevalence and incidence rates of dementia in Asian countries, (2) the role of biological and genetic risk factors to the development of dementia, (3) characterization of dementia in culturally diverse populations, and (4) activities of daily living functioning and its relation to cognitive functioning.
In this issue, two studies examined the prevalence, incidence, and mortality rates of dementia. H. H. Dodge et al. examined changes in dementia prevalence and the relative prevalence of AD compared to VaD over time using eight large Japanese prevalence studies. Unlike past studies on this topic, the authors thoroughly examined diagnostic criteria used in each study (through contacting original investigators of the most studies), changing age structures as well as regional variability as possible explanations of trends in overall prevalence and ratios of AD to VaD. The study suggests that, in contrast to the USA and some European countries, all-cause dementia prevalence is increasing in Japan. It was inconclusive whether the prevalence of AD as opposed to VaD has been increasing or not, because of variability in diagnostic criteria, regional variability, and gender difference in vascular disease prevalence. This study illustrates the complexity of evaluating prevalence rates of dementia and how knowledge of population trends in risk factors and diagnostic methods influences the interpretation of data. In addition, the authors offer useful suggestions for future epidemiological work on dementia prevalence and incidence in Japan which may be applied to other countries.
In another article, the prevalence rates and mortality of dementia was examined in elderly persons living in Hong Kong. This study suggests that within 30 years the number of people in Hong Kong aged 60 and older will be more than triple; thus, the increase of prevalence of dementia cases in this region will prove to be substantial. The authors also discuss two other important issues related to care for those with dementia: (1) the impact of a declining "oldest old support ratio" and (2) the burden of dementia as measured by the Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) approach. The authors postulate that by using these two metrics, in addition to data regarding the ongoing trends in the region, a successfully long-term care strategy for dementia of the aging population in Hong Kong can be achieved.
2. The Role of Biological and Genetic Risk Factors to Dementia
The article by L. N. Kota et al. examined the role of diabetes, APOE e4 carrier state to dementia in a cohort of elderly persons in Southern India. In India, the latest data suggest that the prevalence of dementia cases, predominantly that of Alzheimer's disease (AD), is estimated to increase from 3.7 million people to 6.35 million people by 2025. This staggering increase is accompanied by an ongoing pandemic rise of diabetes in Indians, with current estimates at 40.9 million persons affected. How these two factors are associated with genetic risk factors, namely, APOEe4 carrier status was the focus of this article. Two important findings were presented in this article: (1) the APOE e4 allele appears to be associated with AD in this population—thus replicating findings from previous studies in this population and (2) persons with AD who have diabetes were more likely to be APOE e4 positive compared to those with normal cognition. The authors conclude that although more work needs to be done in this area, lifestyle modification to prevent diabetes, thereby perhaps slowing the prevalence rate of dementia and AD, should be a major focus on public health initiatives in this region.
3. Characterizing Dementia in Culturally Diverse Populations
The article by G. Nair et al. provides valuable insights into the characteristics of a memory clinic within a public hospital in India, a country that is expected to have more than 150 million older adults by 2025. The authors describe the challenges of establishing a clinical research based facility that provides services for patients with significant linguistic and cultural diversity. This article provides invaluable information on the methods used to establish research facilities in a developing country and documents the practical aspects such as staff training, outreach, and consensus diagnosis. The memory clinic has implemented the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) standardized Uniform Data Set (UDS) evaluation and will provide an invaluable resource for research, both within India and internationally. Although the sample is not representative, presentation of some descriptive data on the rates of diagnosis and demographic characteristics of diagnostic groups shows that dementia diagnosis, particularly Alzheimer's disease, is occurring at relative young ages in this community. Such information over time may provide important insights into culturally specific risk factors.
A second article examined another area of focus in cognitive research in diverse populations—the development and utilization of linguistically and culturally validated, cognitive screening tests. L. Zheng et al. developed a Chinese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA)—the MOCA-Chinese Los Angeles (MOCA-ChLA)— that can be used with Cantonese or Mandarin speakers. The MOCA was carefully translated and culturally adapted for use in the two languages (as well as in Taiwanese) and administered to over 1,000 ethnic Chinese elderly residing in the Los Angeles area who were taking part in a population-based Chinese-American Eye Study (CHES). The MOCA-ChLA was found to be free of floor and ceiling effects, scores were not influenced by gender, and Mandarin and Cantonese speaking subgroups performed similarly. As the authors noted, further studies are warranted to determine cutpoints for optimal sensitivity, specificity for the diagnosis of MCI and dementia, and refine adjustment scores for individuals with low education; so that the MOCA-ChLA can be used for a screening tool for identifying MCI and dementia in other communities.
4. Activities of Daily Living and Dementia
As dementia becomes more prominent in both Eastern and Western cultures, it is well known that maintaining activities of daily living (ADL) becomes a major focus for care. Past studies have shown that person-centered care, where care is targeted to encourage, support, and maintain patients' hobbies and leisure activities (in addition to supporting medical and basic IADL needs), improves the quality of life (QOL) of patients and reduces behavioral psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Yet, maintaining patients' advanced activities of daily living (AADL: e.g., participation in meetings, socializing with others, taking a walk, reading a newspaper, watching TV, etc.) and leisure activities (e.g., travelling, care of a pet, gardening, etc.) is often ignored in public social services. H. Takechi et al. examined types, frequency, and support needs on AADL and leisure activities by interviewing 39 pairs of early-to-mid stage dementia patients and their family caregivers. This was a time-consuming study because a large variability in patients' leisure activities required in-depth interviews with patients and caregivers, using open-ended questions for some categories. Despite the difficulty, the authors were able to outline potential domains and types of cares required for person-centered care. This type of study provides support for more studies in this area, as it can lead to a better quality of life for those affected by dementia and also their caregivers.
In this special issue, we highlight several important themes emerging from the Asia-Pacific region as they relate to dementia research. The encompassing message is that this region, with its rapidly growing population of persons with dementia, will place a heavy societal and economic burden to all countries in the region. Studies on the possible inter-ethnic differences in prevalence and incidence of dementia, risk factors and protective factors, and treatment for intervention strategies need to be employed on an international level.

The origin of the lobster roll is not set in stone, but Milford, Conn., claims to be the birthplace. The Encyclopedia of American food writes that the lobster roll "may well have originated at a restaurant named Perry's in Milford, where owner Harry Perry concocted it for a regular customer named Ted Hales sometime in the 1920s. Furthermore, Perry's was said to have a sign from 1927 to 1977 reading, `Home of the Famous Lobster Roll.' "
Regardless of origin, Connecticut has embraced the summer dish, serving it Connecticut-style with hot butter or sometimes New England-style with cold mayonnaise.

Expect the following technology stocks to be among Monday's most actively traded issues: AT&T, Cisco Systems, Dell, Digital Island, Microsoft and Stamps.com.
AT&T announced late Friday that the Federal Communications Commission has approved the global joint venture with British Telecom (NYSE: BTY), completing the full regulatory process. AT&T and BT announced plans to form their global venture in July 1998. AT&T shares closed off 3/8 to 43 ahead of the announcement while British Telecom rose 6 3/8 to 177 3/8.
AT&T shares peaked at 64 1/16 in February.
Twenty of the 27 analysts following the stock maintain either a "buy" or "strong buy" recommendation.
Look for Cisco shares to see a ton of volume Monday on rumors the world's largest network-equipment provider might preannounce lower-than-expected first quarter earnings.
This must sound like blasphemy to Cisco shareholders who have know only upside surprises and multiple stock splits in the past few years.
Cisco's shares dropped sharply in the last hour of trading once the alleged bad news hit the Street.
First Call consensus predicts Cisco will earn 23 cents a share in the quarter.
Cisco shares closed off 2 5/8 to 66 9/16 Friday.
Dell Computer Corp.(Nasdaq: DELL) The computer maker outsold longtime leader Compaq Computer Corp. in the third quarter, according to studies by two market-research firms cited in the Wall Street Journal.
The studies, to be released Monday, show a boom in PC sales led by Dell, with 58% unit-sales growth in the U.S. segment. Compaq only saw its unit shipments rise by 24%, and its market share remained roughly flat at 16%.
On Friday, Compaq shares dropped 31.25 cents to close at $18.6875, a 52-week low, on concern its third-quarter earnings, due out Tuesday, could show an operating loss.
Digital Island Inc. (Nasdaq: ISLD) The Web hosting service said it has agreed to merge with another high-profile Web firm, Sandpiper Networks Inc., in a stock swap valued at $630.5 million.
In the transaction, which is expected to be announced Monday, shareholders of closely held Sandpiper are to receive 27.4 million shares of Digital stock. Digital's shares closed at $23 Friday, up $1.875.
The software giant should hop on news late Friday that it will pay $3 billion for a 30 percent stake in British cable operator Telewest Communications Plc.
The purchase, which still requires regulatory approval, would be Microsoft's second-biggest investment after its related $5 billion investment in AT&T.
Microsoft agreed to buy the shares in Telewest currently owned by cable operator MediaOne Group Inc. (NYSE: UMG) in May as part of a complex three-way deal under which AT&T would acquire MediaOne for $58 billion in cash and stock.
Both the AT&T acquisition and the Microsoft investment still require federal approval, which could be a year away. The Microsoft investment in Telewest also requires the approval of the British company's shareholders.
According to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, MediaOne would get 0.05 share of Microsoft for each of the 638.3 million ordinary shares of Telewest it currently owns.
Stamps has agreed to acquire closely held iShip.com Inc. for stock worth $305 million, to create a single site for mailing and shipping.
The combination of the companies' Web sites will give businesses one-stop access to mailing, shipping and tracking services. The deal comes on the heels of Stamps.com's launch of its Internet postal service.

Wild Bill Hickok is a 1923 American silent Western film directed by Clifford Smith and starring William S. Hart, Ethel Grey Terry, Kathleen O'Connor, James Farley, Jack Gardner, Carl Gerard, and William Dyer. It was written by William S. Hart and J.G. Hawks. The film was released on November 18, 1923, by Paramount Pictures. It was the first film to depict Wyatt Earp, although in a very brief role, and the only film made before he died in 1929 that included his character, until Law and Order was released in 1932.

Plot
After the America Civil War ends, key military and government leaders meet in Washington D.C. Gunfighter Wild Bill Hickok (William Hart) goes to Dodge City where he hangs up his gun belt and takes over a card table. Local lawmen are unable to rid the town of lawless cowboys. Hickok's arch-enemy and gang leader Jack McQueen (Jim Farley) accuses Hickok of losing his nerve. Hickok visits General Custer and retrieves his sword, taking up his role as a fighter for what is right.

He returns to Dodge City and enlists the help of friends Wyatt Earp, Calamity Jane, Bat Masterson, Doc Holliday, Charlie Bassett, Luke Short and Bill Tilghman to chase the bad guys out of town. Hickcok falls for the wife of George Hamilton (Carl Gerard).  Pursued for his crimes, McQueen leaves town and gets away;  follows him and kills him. Hickok departs Dodge City in sorrow since the woman he loved was already married.

Characters

William S. Hart, who played Wild Bill Hickok, and Wyatt Earp were best friends. Earp wanted Hart's help to make a movie that would improve what the public thought about him and his brothers. Based on what the press wrote about his actions at the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and his job as a referee of the Fitzsimmons vs. Sharkey boxing match, Earp had a dubious reputation. Earp wrote Hart in July 1925: "I am sure that if the story were exploited on the screen by you, it would do much towards setting me right before the public which has always been fed up with lies about me."

Bert Lindley playing Wyatt Earp appeared very briefly in a crowd scene. This was the first movie that depicted Wyatt Earp, and the only one that included his character before he died in 1929. Hollywood didn't make another film that referenced his character until Law and Order in 1932.

Cast

Marketing
The film premiered in New York city on November 18, two weeks before its public release on December 3, 1923.

Despite his very small role, Earp was prominently featured in the promotional copy as "Deputy Sheriff to Bat Masterson of Dodge City, known as one of the three greatest gun-men that ever lived, along with Bat Masterson and 'Wild Bill' Hickok... Back in the days when the West was young and wild, 'Wild Bill' fought and loved and adventured with such famous frontiersmen as Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp." In reality, Earp was a virtually unknown assistant marshal in Dodge City when Wild Bill Hickok was murdered in 1876.

Earp served as a technical adviser on the film. Because the role of Earp's character in the movie is so small, Bert Lindley is not listed on some descriptions of the movie and this portrayal of Earp is often overlooked. Alan Barra, author of Inventing Wyatt Earp: His Life and Many Legends, overlooked this movie in his biography.

Hart thought a great deal of Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson, and after Masterson's death in 1921, dedicated his next film, Wild Bill Hickok to Masterson.

Reception
The film was not well received. One reviewer described it as "rather dull and tedious." The film's poor box office draw helped end Hart's already fading star.

Preservation
A print of Wild Bill Hickok is maintained in the Museum of Modern Art and Cinematheque Royale de Belgique film archives.

In a nutshell Richer people in England are living for longer and spend less time in ill-health, according to the Fair Society, Healthy Lives report. Commissioned by the Government, it found that people in the most deprived neighbourhoods die on average seven years younger than those in affluent areas.
- What else does the report say?
The report, compiled by UCL, found that people living in poorer areas not only die sooner, but spend more of their shorter lives with disability - an average total difference of 17 years. The review predicts an increase in the cost of treating the various illnesses that result from inequalities in obesity alone, from £2bn a year to nearly £5bn a year by 2025.
The report suggests reducing health inequalities will require action on six policy objectives, including giving every child the best start in life, creating fair employment and good work for all, and ensuring a healthy standard of living for all. The report also calls for NHS spending on preventing illness to be much higher than the current four per cent.
The PR has been handled by Blue Cat Communications, headed by founder Felicity Porritt. A press conference was held last Tuesday at the Science Media Centre. Weekly titles were given embargoed copies of the press release.
The story appeared on the Today programme, GMTV, BBC News and 5Live Breakfast. Print coverage included a double-page spread in The Guardian, a whole page in The Independent and articles in the Daily Mail and The Times.
- £33bn of lost productivity annually is due to illness inequality.

Q: Does "Cook's distance" tell us the outlier? How many way to find the outlier?
For cook's distance, which level is the cut off of outlier?

A: The criterion can vary. For a clear beginning explanation you can look up "Cook's distance" in Wikipedia and look at the section entitled "Detecting Highly Influential Observations".
The conservative option they discuss is basically a hypothesis test, so your threshold value is based on the significance level (i.e. value of alpha) you choose.
HTH,
Jack

A: You ask how many ways to find outliers? If you get the chance to flip through Deza & Deza's Dictionary of Distances 2006.
It is an eye opener. It catalogs literally hundreds of families of distance functions (I say families because within each family distinct distance functions can be obtained by parametrization). It contains a section on distance functions used in data analysis.
Various distance functions can weigh outliers very differently. I don't know specifically about Cook's distance, but the classical example that shows this distinction is regression in $L_2$ versus $L_1$ loss functions.
$L_2$ is smooth, least-mean-squared (associated with Gauss) and weighs outliers quadratically.
$L_1$ loss is robust, polyhedral least-absolute-sum (associated with Laplace) and weighs outliers linearly.
So if you fit a  line through a point cloud with $L_2$ distance and move just one point, you can easily affect the slope, whereas with $L_1$ you would have to move the point much more. Further the slope may be positive with one distance but negative with the other, so handling outliers can be quite problematic.
There are robust methods such as rank-order loss functionals where if you move the furthest outlier is has no effect at all. You can Wikipedia terms like segmented regression, robust regression etc.

Urge your Congressperson to support HR196, the Democracy Restoration Act of 2019.
The right to vote is the most basic constitutive act of citizenship. Regaining the right to vote reintegrates individuals with past criminal convictions into free society and restores their sense of themselves as important to our democratic communities.
The lack of a uniform standard for voting in Federal elections leads to an unfair disparity and unequal participation in Federal elections based solely on where a person lives. Policies for reinstatement of enfranchisement vary from state to state. In effect, currently some three million citizens who have been released from incarceration continue to be denied the right to vote in Federal elections by their state laws.
And state disenfranchisement laws disproportionately impact racial and ethnic minorities.


Three days ago my partner greeted me at the door with a grin and the words "I've got a present for you", I was immediately suspicious as 'present' has become a code word for 'lots of work' in our relationship. I came inside to find an ominous looking box on my desk with a tiny bit of fabric sticking out the bottom. When I opened the box I found the little fellow below nestled on a t-shirt (begging questions about Kev' driving around shirtless).
He (I'm assuming his gender) is a noisy miner; a bird native to this area, although not around the humpy. He coped with a close up inspection fairly well and I discovered a slightly damaged wing on the left side and a slightly more damaged hip on the left side. As he was picked up on the road (sitting like a stunned mullet, according to Kev') I assume he has been clipped by a car.
He can grip a perch with both feet, but sits with one leg off to the side. I am hoping he has no broken bones, and after three days he would be dead by now if he had any (gangrene sets in fast).
Noisy miners in the wild eat nectar, pollen, fruit, insects and occasionally a little lizard. I am feeding him a mix of fruit smoothie with added insectivore mix that we keep in the cupboard for emergencies, I also add one drop of pentavite (liquid vitamin). When I can, I will add some nectavore mix (lorrikeet food), but at present I have none in stock. He seems to love the mixture. I went out and collected some white ants for him too, which he had fun playing with, but didn't eat.
When he can put all his weight on his leg and fly around we will begin the long process of re-assimilating him into the wild; probably at my parent's house where there is a family in residence, although their complicated flocking behaviour means that he will not be accepted if he is a she; apparently the females maintain fairly rigid territories which do not overlap while the males wander about in gangs, joining new gangs on a random basis.
This little man needs a name for the (hopefully) short time he will be with me; any ideas?

The PlayStation 5 Is a Newer, Better PlayStation With Some Fun Flourishes
Sony's new game console is more experimental than Microsoft's new Xbox, and more importantly, it has a better lineup of games to play right away.
by Patrick Klepek
Nov 6 2020, 1:00pmShareTweetSnap
It's been a whopping seven years since the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launched. That feels like an eternity, but it was seven years in-between the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 and eight years in-between the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, too. Time is a mysterious beast, and naturally, expectations for the future escalate. Console manufacturers are required to act like a new machine is the second coming of gaming, that we're on the cusp of revolution, in order to generate the necessary hype and interest to pry hundreds of dollars from people.
My time with the PlayStation 5 so far points not to a revolution, but a satisfying evolution.
I've spent the last few weeks with a PS5 in my home, and my honest reaction to its release is that most people should probably wait. There aren't that many games, and heck, several of them are also playable on PS4. That's without noting we're in a global pandemic, and the economy is in turmoil. The prospect of banking away $500 for a rainy day isn't the worst idea in the world! And as I write this, I have not played games like Demon's Souls, and important parts of the interface remain under embargo. Sony will not, for example, let me talk about the store yet. The parts of the interface that I can talk about don't fare much better—it feels like a beta.
The games I have played, though? Pretty good! Miles Morales is very fun and pretty, if a little same-y. Astro's Playroom is a terrific showcase of the DualSense controller, in addition to being a solid platformer with lots of nostalgic goodies to discover. Bugsnax is a pleasant and weird surprise, a game "about" catching creatures that is also "about" the power of community. Absent the controller experimentation in Astro's Playroom, none of the games feel especially next-gen, which is probably because our definition of next-gen is undergoing a huge shift.
I used to spend hours pouring over new issues of Electronic Gaming Monthly, dreaming about the future of video games. This was an era where new consoles were truly a sea change, representing a quantum leap forward in technology and fidelity that was appreciable immediately, whether it was watching blocks of 2D pixels become truly defined worlds, the introduction of another dimension with 3D, or the revelation of detail that was high-definition.
PlayStation 5 Is Here, And I'm Obsessed With This Digital Zipper
Some of my fondest memories growing up involve waiting outside of a wintery cold Best Buy or Circuit City, hoping to have an opportunity to buy a new game console. The uncomfortably long wait as an employee slowly handed out reservation tickets, based on how many consoles the store had inside, and the poor soul who was told "sorry, we're sold out." Even before I was old enough to camp out overnight, I'd convince my younger brother to combine our Christmas gifts so my parents could buy us a new console. The last time I pulled off this con was the original PlayStation, and after my brother realized we only had one gift to open on Christmas, he slumped into a chair and watched as our cousins ripped through dozens.
Every time, it felt like the future had arrived. The last time I felt that "whoa" vibe was playing Wii Sports for the first time, realizing the possibility space for game design was changing.
But video game generations aren't what they used to be. The improvements are there, yes, but they're increasingly on the margins and focused on quality-of-life changes that are easier to brush off as something you could get eventually, or when the inevitable price cut occurs.
Sony's pitch with the PS5 is that those tiny changes, aimed at both developers and players, will add up over time and eventually start changing how games are made. It's too early to tell.
The PS5's much-hyped hard drive is, in fact, very fast. Loading times are not a thing of the past, but there's less of them and that's nice. 3D audio is a neat idea in theory, but I genuinely can't tell how much better it is. 4K resolutions, which I've long suspected as not being a big deal and possibly hard to notice, are actually easy to notice and a notable upgrade, even if you'll be happy without it. The DualSense controller, with all its experimental wizardry, is a constant delight in the hands, unlike the DualShock 4, a controller I met with disdain every time I was forced to play a game with it. (This was a constant annoyance for me, because I am often drawn to Sony's story-driven experiences.)
Can we talk about the 4K thing for a second? I've been a 4K skeptic, driven by my larger indifference to the technical elements of video games that others obsess over, like frame rate. I obviously think a faster frame rate is better than a slow one, but I'm also willing to muddle through what others would deem unacceptable or frustrating and be fine with it. Maybe that's long term console player jealousy in me speaking, used to being angry at PC owners who could simply buy a new card or fiddle with options to make games run better.
But I also worried that introducing one 4K display into my house would break the spell, and suddenly I'd be annoyed at the other TVs in the house that weren't 4K. (At the moment, my main screen is a projector, and 4K projectors remain very expensive.) It was a convenient bout of ignorance, but one that I finally decided to break when this new generation arrived.
As such, my first experience with a PS5 was also my first experience with 4K.
To be frank, I didn't notice much at first because the games looked shiny and new in the way you expect them to look while playing them on expensive new gaming hardware. 4K doesn't hit you in the teeth the same way the jump from SD to HD once did. (I think HDR, and how it kicks lighting into another gear, is altogether more impressive.) But at some point I was capturing some footage of Astro's Playroom, I glanced up at the TV, and found myself musing "Huh, doesn't that look fuzzy?" As it turned out, the capture device was forcing the TV to output at 1080p and it finally hit me: ah, shit, I could tell the difference between 1080p and 4K. And I…cared. My ignorance had been met with truth, the clean and high-resolution truth.
Why Do People Care So Much About How a PlayStation 5 Looks in Their Home?
by Patrick Klepek and Rob Zacny
A less enjoyable version of this cropped up while playing various PS4 games on the PS5.
God of War, like a lot of games these days, has a "performance" mode, which sacrifices resolution for frame rate—and that mode looks like trash on my 4K TV. The best way I can describe it is that it looks pixelated? But the other mode that renders at 4K has a crap frame rate, so I'm stuck between undesirable worlds. When I connected my PS5 to a 1080p display, God of War looked fine, but the vast majority of my time with a PS5 is likely to be on this new TV, so it's a problem.
This was less of an issue with Days Gone, a game that I didn't like much when first I played it, but developer Sony Bend clearly put a ton of work into making this run excellent on PS5. I'm not Digital Foundry, so I can't speak to what's happening under the hood, but I can confidently say it looks fantastic, as though it's a native PS5 game. I didn't have to make a call between performance and resolution—the game straight up looks gorgeous.
I kept coming back to the PS5 version of Days Gone, wishing others looked this good.
But a PS5 is not like inserting a new graphics card into a PC, where old games magically get better. Bloodborne, for example, does not suddenly run at 60 FPS. I'm aware that's not how a PS5 works, but watching some games, but not others, get first class treatments is perplexing.
I don't think 4K is make or break, and you can get through this coming generation on an older display just fine. The fast hard drive still works. The controller is still cool. The time I spent playing PS5 games on an old 1080p display in my house was perfectly acceptable, they're exceptionally pretty.
But…it is true the seal has been broken and I'm left wondering how to convert my other TVs when there's a sale.
The best part of the PS5 is playing games on it, because the moment you decide to start futzing with the user interface, the headaches start. It's suddenly not entirely surprising why Sony took so long to reveal what it's like to navigate the menus governing the PS5, because it's cumbersome, overly complex, and feels like Sony's gonna gut a lot of it in the next year.
There's a small detail that, I think, sums up what I'm talking about here.
One of the most fundamental actions you take while interacting with a gaming console is turning it on and off, and one of the nice but overlooked additions in the past few generations is being able to press a button on the controller and have the machine pop to life. That option still exists on the PS5. The hard part, weirdly, is turning it off. Previously, on both Xbox One and PS4, you held down each controller's central button and got prompts to turn off the machine, rest, etc.
That basic interaction remains true on the new Xbox—but not on PS5. On PS5, tapping the PlayStation button brings up the new activity bar—the spot where you can view trophies or look up hints—and a control center that has a bunch of easily accessible options, like switching games, seeing notifications, your friend list, etc. It's cool! But it's also where you turn the PS5 off—the only way to turn it off. On PS5, if you hold the PlayStation button, it brings you back to the console's main interface, where your media apps and settings live.
Every time you want to turn the PS5 off, you have to tap a button, scroll down, scroll over. This sounds small and petty, but it's a layer of friction where there wasn't one. It's annoying.
It's also indicative of the PS5 interface as a whole, which on the surface looks remarkably familiar to what's come before, but it's the well-intentioned changes that cause problems.
The new hint system, for example, proved useful while cleaning up collectibles in Astro's Playroom, but figuring out exactly how to attach the hint video to the side of the screen while playing, then finding a way to dismiss it when I was done is more cumbersome than necessary. It's not always clear what button does what for the PS5's interconnected layers.
It's a lot of other small things, too. You can no longer look at the patch history for a game. You can look at the patch history for a PS4 game, mind you, but not a PS5 game. There's the problem of accidentally downloading the PS4 version of a game available on both platforms, because for some odd reason the PS5 will let you download the PS4 version. Unlike on Xbox, PlayStation treats these as separate entities, and not the same game.
The weirdness about this goes further, too. With Bugsnax, the interface would regularly swap from the PS5 version I'd downloaded and suggest I download the PS4 version instead. To fix this, I needed to delve into an unidentified menu and force it to display the PS5 version.
It feels like an interface that didn't get enough testing in the real world.
But it's got a lot of really welcome touches, too. It's nice to have a trophy pop while playing a game and quickly see what you'd unlocked by tapping the PlayStation button. You don't leave the game, and watch the trophy information layered over the screen in real-time.
The point at which I'm praising trophy information, as someone who does not spend their time trying to track down trophies, is perhaps a sign that it's time to wrap things up here.
This is a lot of words to dance around a simple question: how does it play video games? Very well. It's a new, more powerful box to play new, more powerful games, and the rest is, to some degree, irrelevant. Maybe nobody else will take advantage of the DualSense, and 3D audio becomes an interesting footnote on Wikipedia. PS5 is an iterative console in a world where consoles are much like phones and laptops—mostly the same, but better.
Flourishes aside, the PS5 would still be a great way to play video games. It already is.

Breast Lift surgery or mastopexy is a procedure which will lift, raise and reshape the breast.
Almost every woman will eventually notice a gradual loss in the size and shape of their breasts. As bodies age, breasts will sag, soften or flatten out. Even if the breast volume stays the same, the firmness is lost. Dr. Jambor understands this, and in most cases, a breast lift, or mastopexy, can rejuvenate, re-shape and firm the breast.
A breast lift and breast reduction together can reduce a breast and rejuvenate its appearance to a smaller, more lifted breast with tighter skin.
Even breasts that are dissimilar in shape can be adjusted to appear younger and more equal in appearance.
At the surgical center, the breast lift will be performed under general anesthesia for your comfort, You will be up and about a day or so following your surgery. Dr. Jambor will send you home in a garment fit to your new shape and size and she will be available to you throughout the recovery process.

Steady Hand at the Helm - MI's Captain Chris Hearn named President and National Master of the Master Mariners of Canada
Captain Chris Hearn
Marine Institute alumnus and employee Captain Chris Hearn has been elected as President and National Master of the Master Mariners of Canada (MMC).
"I am very pleased to have been elected," said Capt. Hearn. "For me it means I get to help an organization give back to our profession by acting in an advocacy role for ship masters and senior ship board officers, and in many ways anyone who is part of Canada's marine transportation industry. This was particularly an honor as we celebrated our 50th anniversary this year."
The Company of Master Mariners of Canada works to encourage a high standard of ability and professional conduct of the officers of the Canadian Merchant Service, and to participate in national and international groups in matters concerning safety, operation, and regulation of ships and their crews.
Capt. Hearn graduated with his diploma of Nautical Science in 1996. Since then he has held a number of progressive roles in the maritime sector, and is currently MI's Director of the Centre for Marine Simulation (CMS).
"On behalf of everyone at the Fisheries and Marine Institute, I want to congratulate Capt. Hearn on this extraordinary accomplishment and wish him every success in his mandate," said Glenn Blackwood, vice-president, Memorial University (Marine Institute). "Capt. Hearn's latest achievement further illustrates the impact that MI alumni have on the global maritime sector."
National Representation
The importance of representing MI, and Newfoundland and Labrador on the national stage is not lost on Capt. Hearn. He noted, "The province, and the Marine Institute in particular, is well represented at the management level of the MMC. Apart from myself, Captains Jim Parson and Jon Ennis manage the MMC Foundation, which supports scholarships, bursaries and research. Captain Tony Patterson, former Director of CMS and now President of Virtual Marine Technology, is the National Education Chair."
Capt. Hearn has already indicated what his focus will be during his two year term as President. "I intend to build on the solid framework we laid out in our strategic plan to increase our visibility and value thus making membership more attractive to people to join. We can do this through engagement, not only with industry and government but also with the public and especially youth," explained Capt. Hearn.
Capt. Hearn acknowledged the importance of attracting young people to the maritime sector at this year's annual general meeting. "We had an excellent presentation from Dylan May a second year Nautical Science Student, who came to MI after attending a Nautical Skill competition as a high school student from PEI," said Capt. Hearn.
Maritime Leadership, Innovation, and Partnerships
Capt. Hearn believes that he can employ a strategy that focuses on communications, relationships, and innovation to highlight the positives in the maritime sector.
"We have great opportunities to continue our work with Federal government by bringing our expertise and experience to help with topics such as the Polar code and the Ocean Protection Plan, stated Capt. Hearn. "The Master Mariners of Canada has seven divisions across the country and with over 300 members engaged in marine activities across these regions we can take a leading role in holding symposiums or forums that focus on particular or challenging issues such as the Right Whale Zone or the examination of autonomous technology for ships."

Brixx var et musikband fra Danmark, der deltog i og vandt Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1982 med sangen "Video video".

Ved det Eurovision Song Contest i Harrogate, England, endte "Video video" som nummer 17 ud af de 18 deltagere.

Gruppen var opkaldt efter forsangeren, Jens Brixtofte, der også havde skrevet sangen. Et andet medlem af gruppen, John Hatting, deltog senere i flere danske grandprix'er i duoen Trax, og han har skrevet sange til andre grandprix-deltagere.

L'édition 2007 procure rapidement son lot d'émotion lorsque Alonso tasse son coéquipier Hamilton à l'entrée du raidillon de L'Eau Rouge, l'obligeant à aller mordre l'échappatoire pour garder le contrôle de sa monoplace.

La lutte entre les deux rivaux McLaren est pourtant éclipsée par les pilotes Ferrari. Kimi Räikkönen, qui restait sur deux victoires en Belgique (éditions 2004 et 2005), décroche une nouvelle victoire devant son coéquipier Felipe Massa et le double champion du monde en titre. Hamilton se classe quatrième devant le "meilleur des autres" Nick Heidfeld sur BMW Sauber. Rosberg, Webber et Kovalainen complètent le top 8.

Räikkönen se relance dans la course au titre avec désormais 11 et 13 points de retard respectivement sur Alonso et Hamilton. En ramenant 18 points de l'épreuve belge, les pilotes Ferrari offrent à leur écurie son  de champion du monde des constructeurs.

Recent research, however, shows something different. When scientists analyse people who appear to have tremendous self-control, it turns out those individuals aren't all that different from those who are struggling. Instead, "disciplined" people are better at structuring their lives in a way that does not require heroic willpower and self-control. In other words, they spend less time in tempting situations.
The people with the best self-control are typically the ones who need to use it the least. It's easier to practice self-restraint when you don't have to use it very often. So, yes, perseverance, grit, and willpower are essential to success, but the way to improve these qualities is not by wishing your were a more disciplined person, but by creating a more disciplined environment.

Aluminum (Al)
SOURCES: Common sources of Aluminum include: beverage containers, aluminum pots and pans, foil, flatware and especially coffee pots; aluminum hydroxide anti-acid formulations; buffered aspirin, food additives, injectables, dialysis, some types of cosmetics, especially deodorants; some colloidal minerals and some herbs or herbal products. Aluminum cookware is particularly of concern if acid foods are cooked such as tomato paste (contains salicylates). Aluminum beverage containers are especially concerning if they contain acidic substances such as tomato juice, carbonated drinks, or coffee, or fat soluble substances such as milk, oils, etc. In cosmetics and deodorants, aluminum chloride may be present as an astringent. In water purification, alum (sodium aluminum sulfate) may be used to coagulate dispersed solids and improve water clarity. Alumina or Al2O3 is very stable chemically and not bioavailable. Silica limits the solubility of aluminum and aluminum silicate is not very bioavailable. Clays, bentonite for example, contain aluminum that has poor bio-availability. Aluminum food containers are manufactured with polymer or plastic coatings that prevent direct food-aluminum contact provided such coatings are not damaged.
ACTION: In the GI tract, phosphates react with aluminum ions forming insoluble aluminum phosphates. If this phosphate-blocking were 100% efficient, then virtually no aluminum would be absorbed. Evidently, this phosphate-forming process is incomplete because body tissue levels (such as hair) usually contain measurable amounts of aluminum. In the body aluminum follows a path of increasing phosphate concentration: plasma, cytosol, cell nucleus. Once in the nucleus, it adversely affects protein formation. Long-lived cells such as neurons are susceptible to long-term accumulation. Aluminum is considered neurotoxic. Without intervention, aluminum accumulates continually in the body with the highest concentration occurring at old age or death. Aluminum can cause pulmonary disease, Osteomalacia, neurotoxicity, and is suspected as a cause of Alzheimer's disease
Antimony (Sb)
SOURCES: Food and smoking are the usual sources of Antimony (Sb). Thus cigarette smoke can externally contaminate hair, as well as contribute to uptake via inhalation. Gunpowder (ammunition) often contains Sb. Firearm enthusiasts often have elevated levels of Sb in hair. Other possible sources are textile industry (fire resistant fabrics), metal alloys, and some antihelminthic and antiprotozoal drugs. Sb is also used in the manufacture of paints, glass, ceramics, solder, batteries, bearing metals and semiconductors, rubberized goods and plastic. Confirming a report from New Zealand, analysis performed at Doctor's Data Laboratory (DDI) revealed high levels of Sb and arsenic in sheepskin bedding designed for an infants crib. In addition, studies performed at DDI identified elevated levels of Sb in the hair of HAZMAT fire fighters who were previously wearing outdated flame retardant under garments.
SYMPTOMS: Early signs of Sb excess include: fatigue, muscle weakness, myopathy, nausea, low back pain, headache, and metallic taste. Cardiac tissue Sb levels have been reported to be extremely high in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Later symptoms include hemolytic anemia, myoglobinuria, hematuria and renal failure. Transdermal absorption can lead to "antimony spots" which resemble chicken pox. Respiratory tissue irritation may result from inhalation of Sb particles or dust. Elevated levels of Sb in scalp hair are common in patients with ADD/ADHD and autism. The clinical significance or physiological mechanism for increased uptake/retention of Sb in ADD/ADHD and autism are not known at this time.
ACTION: Sb is a nonessential element that is chemically similar to arsenic, but Sb compounds are generally less toxic than arsenic. Like arsenic, Sb has a high affinity for sulfhydryl groups on many enzymes. Sb is conjugated with glutathione and excreted in urine and feces. Therefore, excessive exposure to Sb has the potential to deplete intracellular glutathione pools.
Arsenic (As)
SOURCES: Contaminated foods (especially seafood), water or medications. Industrial sources of arsenic are: ore smelting/refining/processing plants, galvanizing, etching plating processes. Tailing from ore river bottoms near gold mining areas (past or present) may contain arsenic. Insecticides, rodenticides and fungicides (Na-, K- arsenites, arsenates, also oxides are commercially available). Commercial arsenic products include: sodium arsenite, calcium arsenate, lead arsenate and "Paris green" which is cupric acetoarsenite, a wood preservative (arsenic pressure treated wood).
SYMPTOMS: fatigue, malaise, eczema or allergic-like dermatitis, and garlic-like breath. Increased salivation may occur.
ACTION: Chronic exposure to or ingestion of arsenic causes tissue levels to gradually increase as arsenic binds to sulfur, phosphorus and selenium. An important detrimental effect of arsenic is inactivation of Lipoic acid, a vitamin cofactor needed for metabolism of Pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate.
Barium (Ba)
SOURCES: Exposure to Barium (Ba) which is used as a contrast agent during diagnostic medical tests such as "barium swallow", "upper GI series", "barium enema", etc. Acutely high intake of soluble Barium salts (nitrates, sulfides, chlorides) can be toxic. Due to its high density, Barium is utilized to absorb radiation and is utilized in concrete shields around nuclear reactors and in plaster used to line x-ray rooms. The main use of Barium in medicine is as a contrast medium. Crystalline Barium titanate is a ceramic compound which is used in capacitors and transducers. Barium is also used to produce pigments in paints and decorative glass. Soluble Barium compounds are highly toxic and may be used as insecticides. Barium aluminates are utilized for water purification, acceleration of concrete solidification, production of synthetic zeolites, and in the paper and enamel industries. Although Barium is poorly absorbed orally (<5%) it can be very high in peanuts and peanut butter (about 3,000 Nanograms/gram) as compared to egg, frozen and fast foods such as burgers, fries, and hot dogs (400-500 Nanograms/gram). It is noteworthy that Barium intake is much higher in children than adults (Health Canada 2005, www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp24-c6.pdf).
SYMPTOMS: Chronic exposure to Ba may be manifested by skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle stimulation, tingling in the extremities, and loss of tendon reflexes. Long-term retention of Barium can occur - granuloma of the traverse colon has been reported after diagnostic use of Barium sulfate.
ACTION: Barium has not been established to be an essential nutritional element. Elevated levels of Barium may interfere with calcium metabolism and potassium levels.
Bismuth (Bi)
SOURCES: Sources of Bismuth (Bi) include: cosmetics (lipstick), Bi containing medications such as rantidine Bi-citrate, antacids (Pepto Bismol), pigments used in colored glass and ceramics, dental cement, and dry cell battery electrodes.
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of moderate Bi toxicity include: constipation or bowel irregularity, foul breath, blue/black gum line, and malaise. High levels of Bi accumulation can result in nephrotoxicity (nephrosis, proteinuria) and neurotoxicity (tremor, memory loss, monoclonic jerks, dysarthria, dementia).
ACTION: Bi is a non-essential element of low toxicity. However, excessive intake of insoluble, inorganic Bi containing compounds can cause nephrotoxicity and encephalopathy. Absorption is dependent upon solubility of the Bi compound, with insoluble Bi excreted in the feces while soluble forms are excreted in the urine.
Cadmium (Cd)
SOURCES: Smoking can be a source for as much as 0.1 mcg Cadmium per cigarette (HEW Pub. No. NIOSH 76-192, US Govt. Printing Ofc., 1976). Other occupational or environmental sources include: mining and smelting activities, pigments and paints, electroplating, electroplated parts (e.g., nuts and bolts), batteries (Ni-Cd), plastics and synthetic rubber, photographic and engraving processes, old drums from some copy machines, photoconductors and photovoltaic cells, and some alloys used in soldering and brazing. "Cadmium Red" as used in dental acrylics (dentures) could be a significant source of exposure for those making dentures or dentists and dental technicians making fine tune adjustments (grinding) to dentures chair side. Cadmium free acrylic dentures are now available.
SYMPTOMS: Chronic manifestations associated with this degree of Cadmium excess include: hypertension, weight loss, microcytic-hypochromic anemia, lymphocytosis (excess white blood cells), proteinuria (protein in the urine) with wasting of beta2 microglobulin, emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis (if inhalation was a route of contamination), atherosclerosis, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, lumbar (lower back) pain, and peripheral neuropathy. Acute inhalation of Cadmium dusts, fumes or soluble salts may produce cough, pneumonitis and fatigue.
ACTION: Without intervention, the biological half-life of Cadmium in humans exceeds 20 years (Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 13th ed, pp 2463-64). Cd is insidiously toxic with chronic accumulations affecting kidney function, lungs, cardiovascular tissues, bone, and the peripheral nervous system. Manifestations of Cadmium toxicity may be lessened or delayed by an individual's protective and detoxification capacities. Zinc and vitamin E are protective; metallothionein and glutathione bind Cadmium and help detoxify initially. Some medical authorities consider Cadmium to be a carcinogen for lung cancer (Harrison's Principles, 13th ed, op. cit. pp 2463).
Cesium (Cs)
SOURCES: Cesium is a naturally-occurring element found in rocks, soil and dust at low concentrations. It is present in the environment only in the stable form of 133 Cesium (the radioactive isotopes 134 Cesium and 137 Cesium are usually not measured or reported). Cesium is not used extensively in industry but some uses are in the production of photoelectric cells, vacuum tubes, spectrographic instruments, scintillation counters and various optical and detecting devices. In biochemistry, cesium chloride is used to extract DNA from cells. The isotope 137 Cesium is used in radiation therapy for certain types of cancer. Other medical uses of Cesium are monitoring left ventricular function with 137 Cesium iodide probes and monitoring pulmonary (lung) endothelial permeability with 137 Cesium iodide crystal mini-detectors. Environmental contamination by 137 Cesium as a result of radioactive fallout could be a major concern, however, little data is available on this matter.
SYMPTOMS: Target organs of Cesium toxicity are the liver, intestine, heart, and kidneys. Cesium may cause epileptic seizures because it can share the same receptor as the inhibitory neurotransmitter amino acid glycine.
ACTION: Cesium can be absorbed after oral ingestion, upon breathing contaminated air and through contact with the skin. Cesium is readily absorbed across the brush border of the intestines in a manner similar to potassium and most is eventually excreted through the urine and feces. The biological half life of Cesium in humans ranges from 15 days in infants to 100-150 days in adults. Physiological effects of Cesium include ventricular arrhythmias and displacement of potassium from muscle and erythrocytes. Cesium can have significant effects on both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Cesium can interfere with active ion transport by blocking potassium channels and also can interfere with lipid metabolism. Cesium may modify plasma membrane integrity, alter cytoplasmic components and cause cell damage. It is unlikely that children or adults would be exposed to enough 133 Cesium to experience any health effects that could be related to the stable cesium itself. Animals given very large doses of cesium compounds have shown changes in behavior, such as increased activity or decreased activity, but it is highly unlikely that a human would be exposed to enough stable cesium to cause similar effects.
