The Billionaire Video Game Market and the Growth of Minecraft
Melissa Thompson
Wed August 29, 2018
It might not come as a surprise but the video game market today is worth billions of dollars.
Video games have risen to incredible fame and popularity over the last few decades. Games such as Minecraft and others have also experienced a huge rise in their customer base.
The truth is that Minecraft is one of the most renowned games in the world today. It is surprising how much people have gotten to adore this game and how many in the world play it today.
In 2016, it was estimated that the value of the game market in US was about 17.69 billion dollars. The video games market, on the whole, then had a valuation of $75 billion USD.
Physical video games have lost their demand while video games that play on PCs and consoles have risen in fame. There's also a striking difference in physical video games demand and digital video games demand between 2009-2016. Previously, the former was important and today, the latter is more used.
Gaming companies today are raking millions and billions from people because their games are so popular. The gaming market today, is worth billions, and popular games such as Minecraft have met fame and fortune because of immense growth in the last few years.
Growth Of Minecraft
Minecraft did not rise to fame overnight. In fact, the game took its time and with time, it rose to immense popularity.
Minecraft has grown due to many reasons but one of the major ones has been the roll out of Minecraft Mods.
See, Minecraft today has always and regularly been graced by these mods that make the game more interesting and more playable.
There are so many mods today for the game that can be used to further enhance your gaming experience. Nobody likes messed up graphics, nobody likes loose ends and everybody wants to play their game in the best graphics and at the best speed.
Minecraft is one game that has gotten so popular because it has kept with its high demand. People now look forward to the game because they know that the Minecraft Mods are going to make it better and better.
As of 2017, the number of active players on Minecraft was 55 million, which was a 15 million increase from 2016.
These statistics show that Minecraft, developed by a Swedish game publisher Mojang, has had yearly increases in its number of active players, show casing how popular Minecraft has become. It also shows how much the game has grown on a year on year basis.
Minecraft has seen tremendous growth over the year and there is no reason to believe why this trend won't continue in the years to come as well.

The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade will soon float draft national retail policy, aimed at promoting growth of 65 million small traders, to seek views of stakeholders, a top official said. The policy will streamline the retail trade and promote ease of doing business in the sector.
The main elements of the policy include promoting ease of doing business, licensing, access to funds, direct selling, and hyper-market related matters. "It will also focus on ways how to promote growth of retail sector, increase in digital payment, reducing infrastructural bottlenecks," the official said.
The department has completed consultations on the proposed policy and "we are in the process of drafting it which will be soon put for public comments", the official added. This proposal was part of the 100-day action plan prepared by the department, under the commerce and industry ministry.
"The policy is being formulated to support development of the sector that would benefit 65 million small traders," the official said. In February, the subject of domestic or internal trade was shifted to the DPIIT (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade) from the consumer affairs ministry, which was earlier the nodal agency for regulating the fast-growing sector.
The department is already in the process of formulating guidelines on e-commerce and, hence, it would be appropriate for the ministry to come out with norms for retail trade. Views of all stakeholders, including state governments, are important while framing the policy as retail trade is also governed by the Shops and Establishment Act, which is implemented by states.

Palais Festivals Beach in Cannes is located between Croisette and the harbor. It's one of the rare public beaches downtown and on the Croisette area. It's the most central beach, but depending on the time, it is occupied for events (Cannes Film Festival or electronic beaches in July and August).
It's one of the most agreeable beaches in Cannes with more than 150 meters of sand. The slight hill is ideal for kids who want to swim. Being close to the center of Cannes is quite nice and it has many shops. The only downfall is that you have to pay for all the parking lots, and they are expensive (about 2.70 euros/hour).
To find this beach, when you arrive in front of the Majestic, direct yourself toward the Palais des Festivals, then just before it turn left (you'll travel along the palace). The beach is on the left and extends to the dam where there is a ramp for handicap access.
This public sand beach in Cannes is the most central in the area, across from the Palais des Festivals.
From this beach, we have a nice view of the Bay of Cannes, but also of the Majestic Barriere which is on the right.
At the other end of the beach, we can see the Cannes harbor and the Esterel massif in the background.
The palais des Festivals faces the beach directly.
At the end of this beach there is a ramp providing handicap accessibility (the side of the harbor).
In the summer (end of July), this beach is very crowded but it is possible to find a place.
On the edge of the beach we have a global view of the Croisette and the different private beaches and grand hotels.
In the summer, at the edge of this beach we find private beaches with restaurants directly on the sand.

The distant hiss and rumble from the motorway and the anquished squealing of tyres straining for grip in the carpark remind me of the pressured plight of so many humans. Where is their reflection and revelation of creation? Where is the wonder and dance in their lives?

Although washing a bike may be the least appealing aspect of riding, it is essential for maintaining equipment and providing a smooth ride; day in, day out. My Pa always says oil is cheaper than parts and this is beyond a doubt relevant to modern mountain bikes. KRUSH is an Australian company based in Melbourne. Shopping local is really appealing to me, and KRUSH is also owned and operated by mountain bikers, for mountain bikers. Their products are intended for the dirtiest of rides and thickest of mud, making KRUSH a fantastic product!
As an Enduro racer my bike gets grubby, really grubby! I have previously tried several other brands of bike wash, but none equal the quality of KRUSH's formula. KRUSH Premium Bike Wash comes in the form of a robust and concentrated gel. The recommended cleaning application for KRUSH Bike Wash is to rinse / hose off all the thick and tough mud and then wash the remaining dirt and grime off with a diluted bucket of KRUSH and warm water. This allows the Bike Wash to be effective in cleaning the bike, which is also extremely good value for money, as more spray orientated bike washes are soaked up within the mud taking up extra cleaner and time. I have been using KRUSH Bike Wash for over three months now and the quality is astounding.
At this time of the year, Far North Queensland experiences our wet season where it rains for weeks and weeks. Throughout this time KRUSH has kept my bike running smooth and the ease of use means more time on the trails. I have found that KRUSH can also double as an effective drivetrain cleaner removing the thickest of grime and grit, and that is a must because who likes that sound of crunching gears and a dirty drivetrain. In addition to KRUSH's Bike Wash they also produce an After-Wash spray. KRUSH's after Wash Spray is created to disperse water and act as a polish for your bikes frame. The After-Wash spray is formulated to remove and scatter water from hard to reach places. I have found the After-Wash spray is really helpful in maintaining your bikes pivot areas and headsets. The polishing affect that the After-Wash spray leaves is sweet, the gleam and shine is awesome and makes your bike look 100% better; but make sure you get none on your brakes unless you want to go REALLY FAST!
So if you want a bike wash and after spray that will leave your bike looking spotless and one million dollars then KRUSH Premium Bike Wash & After-Spray are an absolute must. The quality and effectiveness are second to none as well as offering great value for money in an Australian made product. Whether riding in wet, muddy or bone-dry conditions, KRUSH will meet all your bike cleaning needs, and like they say, a clean bike a fast bike.


Up to 6.6 million US cigarette smokers will live substantially longer than they otherwise would if cigarette smoking is replaced by vaping over a 10-year period, according to a Medical Xpress story citing research published in the journal Tobacco Control.
The study, by a research team led by investigators from the Georgetown Lombardi Cancer Center, Washington, DC, looked at a strategy of switching cigarette smokers to e-cigarette use in the US to accelerate tobacco control progress.
The team considered an optimistic and a pessimistic scenario, 'differing in terms of the relative harms of e-cigarettes compared with cigarettes and the impact on overall initiation, cessation and switching'.
The team said that the tobacco control community had been divided regarding the role of e-cigarettes in tobacco control.

Translating the Script Into Stunning Images – Director of Photography Matteo Martignago
It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and sometimes it is a lot more. For Matteo Martignago, a Los Angeles-based Director of Photography is it not just about clicking snaps but telling a story. He uses his images to bring life to a story or a script.
He has been associated with many gripping projects in his career. He was Director of Photography in the movie MyDorian, a story that narrates a modernized version set in the present day of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.
During the time he worked with directors Alessandro D'Ambrosi and Santa De Santis for several months and was involved in both the pre-production and post-production process.
One of the most remarkable features of Matteo Martignago's work is his vision to make even the most insignificant things shine. As a Director of Photography, he pays special attention to even the minutest of details.
According to him, it is this obsession with details that makes a difference between a good movie and an extraordinary one. His job as Director of Photography is to bring the Director's vision into reality and to do it as best as possible.
At an early age, Matteo was inclined towards the craft of filmmaking and photography. He shared his experience about the same and said in an interview, "In high school, I started to get into filmmaking more seriously and started to work on small sets to gain experience and knowledge as much as I could.
I have always loved photography and I feel like Cinematography is an evolution of it in some forms. Being able to create stories and realities someone can only think about most of the time is something that has always fascinated me and something I never get tired of."
Matteo journey as a visionary had created an impression on countless people around the globe. He often uses social media to further share his journey. We can't wait to see thre next film he is working on!

For centuries humans have been peeling their skin. Egyptians uses sour milk and fruit acids on their faces and bodies. Europeans used wine that had been soured. They knew the benefits of peeling; softer skin, less pigmentation, less fine lines, smaller pore size, more firmness, and reduction of acne.
The success of the peel depends on many aspects, because no matter how light or mild of a peel we are applying it is still caustic to the skin. You may experience burning, itching, and stinging during a peel.
Some of our peels are applied to the skin and removed after 30 seconds to several minutes. Several other kinds of peels we offer are applied in layers and are not removed until 8-24 hours later.
The skin must be prepared properly and we must determine if you are a good candidate for the peel. You must fill out a health questionnaire, have a consultation, sign a release form and agree to pre and post care instructions. You must stay out of the sun and use sunscreen after having a peel.
If you experience flaking or peeling, you must not pick at your skin. Please avoid chlorine, smoking, alcohol consumption, and hot showers. Avoid over-heating.
THE ALL-NEW, CLEARLY BETTER CRYOTHERAPY SOLUTION.CryoClear® gently freezes dead skin cells in the upper layer of the skin to treat age spots, sun spots and skin tags.

UN Gender Focus: access to water, burkini ban and gender inequality in the labour market
Time wasted collecting water a "double whammy" for women and girls
Time wasted collecting water is a "double whammy" for women and girls around the world. That's according to Sanjay Wijesekera, Chief of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene programmes at the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF). He said that apart from losing time that could be spent in class, girls' health also suffers due to the hard physical labour involved. At World Water Week which has been taking place in Stockholm, Sweden, UNICEF said that 200 million hours are spent each day collecting water. Sustainable Development Goal 6 calls for universal access to safe and affordable drinking water by 2030. Matthew Wells asked Mr Wijesekera how many people lacked access today.

Women have right to wear controversial burkini bathing suit
Women should have the right to choose to wear a controversial bathing suit known as the burkini without coercion from the state or individuals; that's according to the UN agency focused on gender issues, UN Women. The burkini is a full-body swimsuit with a headscarf which is favoured by many Muslim women and other non-Muslims. A ban on the clothing by a French town was overturned by the country's highest court recently, after photographs were taken of police confronting a woman and forcing her to remove part of her burkini. The French authorities said the woman's beachwear was "inappropriate," and a public order issue. Daniel Dickinson has been speaking to UN Women's Director of Policy, Purna Sen. He began by asking her for her reaction to the ban and it subsequent lifting.

Accelerating gender equality in Africa
Gender inequality in the labour market cost sub-Saharan African countries more than US$90 billion annually between 2010 and 2014. That finding comes in the latest African Human Development Report which looks at efforts to accelerate women's empowerment on the continent. Launched by the UN Development Programme (UNDP), it details the high cost when women are not fully integrated into national economies. Dianne Penn has been speaking to UNDP Chief Economist Ayodele Odushola. He began by explaining what "human development" means.

Chile: Smart Arica -Agriculture (2017)
Suriname Enterprise Competitiveness and Innovation (2016-2017)
ETG was hired by the Government of Suriname and Inter-American Development Bank to support the implementation of the Pilot Program—Innovation for Firms in Suriname (IFS)—to support innovation and development of local firms in Suriname by strengthening their integration into value chains and clusters and their linkages with firms and buyers and among themselves. The program is oriented to improve local firms' productivity, competitiveness and innovation, and ETG developed a "buyer-led" approach. ETG worked with the IFS team to develop practical operating procedures for the IFS, identify and support best candidate local firm and operational clusters to supported by the program, and assist selected firms (in clusters) to develop specific innovations to increase sales and exports, and have positive impact on other SMEs in the value chain. The focus is on supporting firms, which can demonstrate "quick wins", and lead the way in establishing early success of the program. ETG provided "hands on training" to the IFS task manager, CUS staff, and relevant public and private stakeholders. ETG supported ten companies to formulate their enterprise development plans to achieve increased sales and exports and will have positive economic impact on other firms in the value chain. This focus on lead firms is to achieve "quick win" results of the IFS program, within the already identified value chains with sales and export potential (e.g., value added agribusiness, mining, ICT, forest products, non-timber forest products). Funding from the Government of Suriname and the Inter-American Development Bank, 2016-2017.
Chile-Regional Innovation and Entrepreneurship Eco-System for Arica (2016-2017)
Agribusiness incubators—assessment of best practices and development of incubator training program (2010-2011)
ETG, in association with Agrifood Consulting International, co-led a team of world experts in agribusiness, clustering, and incubators, to assess best-practices internationally in agribusiness incubation and developed a training program for Agribusiness incubation emphasizing whole value chain development and sustainability. The project team identified the twelve best agribusiness incubators in the developing world—ranging from the Fundacion Chile to TechnoServe-Mozambique to Villgro in India—and based on first-hand case studies of the approaches, histories, and lessons learned, prepared an assessment of the state-of-the-art in agribusiness incubation. ETG/ACI also prepared an extensive training program for agribusiness incubator managers and developers, and delivered the training at a world gathering of incubator managers in Helsinki, Finland in 2011. The assessment report and training materials are available at www.infodev.org/en/publication.1095.html. Project sponsored by infoDev/World Bank, 2010-2011.
ECUADOR: Regional Economic Development in Loja (2009 -2010)
The Government of Ecuador and the IDB hired ETG to enhance the economic competitiveness of the southern region of Ecuador, the provinces of Loja, Zamora, and Oro and develop four clusters in the southern region: tourism, coffee, software and creative industries, and eco-services and biodiversity. ETG worked closely with the Provincial Government of Loja to create cluster groups and their business, government and academic leaders to develop these cluster strategy and action plans. In this project "Loja in Action", ETG adapted its "fast-track" clustering approach and created lasting results within 6 months, launching four new clusters and supporting the development of more than 42 business plans and action initiatives, with co-financing of initiatives by the private sector, regional governments, national government agencies, and the support of the Inter-American Development Bank.
Chile: Regional Development and Clustering in the 8 Regions of Southern Chile (2008-2010)
In a contract for Chile's lead economic development agency, CORFO, ETG staff worked with Dalberg Global Development Advisors to implement Chile's new strategy to support economic development at the regional level. The team implemented ETG's "fast-track" clustering approach to demonstrate to Chile's regional development agency staff how to launch clusters and support local business entrepreneurs to develop and implement action initiatives. During the first eight months of 2008, nine new clusters were launched and more than 250 action initiatives were developed, with co-financing of initiatives by the private sector, regional governments, national government agencies, and the support of the Inter-American Development Bank. By 2010, a total of 25 clusters were underway and engaged in the implementation of more than 150 action initiatives.
Argentina: Clusters of Mendoza (2006-2009)
ETG supported the development of nine clusters in the Province of Mendoza, Argentina with funding support from the Inter-American Development Bank. ETG led a consortium of four companies in launching Argentina's first cluster-based economic development program. The project team undertook cluster mapping and analysis, and process design and implementation to accelerate development of nine industrial clusters, including two tourism clusters (adventure and rural tourism), four agricultural clusters, and three industry and services clusters.
Mexico: Tabasco in Action (2002-2004)
In 2002, the new governor of the state of Tabasco (in Southeast Mexico) hired the Economic Transformations Group to revitalize the state's economy using an action-oriented, cluster-based approach. The clustering process was launched in early 2002 with the formation of eight clusters, and the involvement of more than 600 business leaders throughout Tabasco. At the end of the first year, more than 60 action initiatives were in implementation. The project, Tabasco in Action, created a specific fund to support early stage initiative development (e.g., feasibility studies and benchmarking trips). The fund required co-participation by the initiative leaders and private sector in all initiative financing. The Fund has been very successful in converting initiatives from good ideas on paper to executable business plans and joint projects, to early stage implementation and financing. By 2004, more than 42 project have received funding, totally $1.1 million. The estimated investment potential is more than $80 million and generating 4,170 jobs. The results of the leadership and clustering process of Tabasco in Action have resulted in the formation of dozens of new companies, new jobs in aquaculture, light industry, agricultural processing, a reorientation of cacao production to organic markets, and the beginning of a whole new mindset shift from "the government has to solve our problems" to "we can do it!".
South Africa – Cluster Leadership Training (1997)
At the invitation of the Government of South Africa, private sector, and in collaboration with the World Bank, ETG professionals were invited by the Government of South Africa to carry out cluster leadership training and facilitation workshops, in South Africa during 1997. We met with more than 300 South African business, government and union leaders to carry out cluster-specific workshops and leadership training. We have established an on-going relationship to work with the SA government in implementing their cluster program.
America's Clusters: Experiences and Lessons Learned (DOC/EDA) (1995)
In a project funded by the Economic Development Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce, professionals of ETG ((then at DRI/McGraw-Hill) developed the first comprehensive mapping of the key 21 clusters of the U.S. economy. This report was published by the U.S. Department of Commerce in 1995 and became a key reference for state and local economic development agencies across the country.

South Africa's third political force, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) on Thursday declared the country's deputy president missing.
The party imputed that he was seeking medical attention in Russia and asked government to come clean on the true mission of David Mabuza outside the country.
An EFF press release said the last that had been heard of the deputy president was that he had traveled to Russia as a special envoy.
It has been two weeks since it was reported that he is on an envoy, yet there are allegations that Mabuza is actually not on a state visit, but in hospital.
Reports in the local media had stated that he was going to Russia crucially on discussions to do with a nuclear deal that the Zuma-led government was entering into.
"It has been two weeks since it was reported that he is on an envoy, yet there are allegations that Mabuza is actually not on a state visit, but in hospital.
"Ramaphosa ought to be honest to the nation because there is no report or even pictures of Mabuza's visit. It is both a constitutional and a moral obligation for the public to know.
"This basic moral sense would be obvious to any man with a conscience, presiding over the highest office in the land. Mabuza is in Russia, on taxpayers' money, yet we have no report on what the envoy is about and what has it been up to over the last two weeks," the statement read in part.
Mabuza is occupying the position Ramaphosa held under immediate past Jacob Zuma. Ramaphosa was elected at the ruling African National Congress (ANC) conference to lead the party. Zuma, whose mandate ends in 2019 was forced out in order not to have two centers of power in the party.
The EFF is South Africa's third biggest party in parliament, behind the ANC and the Democratic Alliance (DA). The party is led by a former youth leader of the ANC, Julius Malema. The 2019 elections will be their first participation in presidential elections.

La liste civile désigne la somme d'argent mise à la disposition personnelle du monarque pour les besoins de sa maison ; c'est donc une composante du budget de l'État dans les monarchies. Dans les républiques, l'équivalent de la liste civile est occupé par le budget de la présidence de la République. C'est une notion très associée au Royaume-Uni et à ses anciennes colonies comme le Canada et la Nouvelle-Zélande.

Le concept de liste civile
Une liste civile ne peut apparaître que lorsque les dépenses personnelles du monarque sont distinctes des dépenses de l'administration générale, et déterminées par des normes précises et constantes ; par conséquent, la liste civile au sens exact du terme n'est possible que dans les monarchies constitutionnelles. Dans les monarchies absolues, ce terme ne peut être utilisé que par analogie. Ce fut une idée d'assainissement des fonds publics qui circula à l'époque de l'absolutisme éclairé. Dans les états de l'Église, cette distinction ne fut jamais établie.

Royaume-Uni
Au Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d'Irlande du Nord, la liste civile était, jusqu'en 2011, la subvention annuelle couvrant la plupart des dépenses liées à l'exercice des fonctions officielles du souverain, notamment celles relatives aux salaires du personnel, aux visites d'État, aux missions publiques, aux fonctions cérémonielles et à l'entretien des maisons royales. Les frais de transport et de sécurité de la famille royale, ainsi que l'entretien des biens et les autres frais divers, ont été couverts par des subventions distinctes versées par les différents départements du gouvernement. La liste civile a été abolie en vertu de la Sovereign Grant Act 2011.

Histoire
À la suite de la "Glorieuse Révolution" en 1688, les dépenses relatives aux besoins du monarque furent en grande partie séparées des dépenses ordinaires de l'État géré par l'Échiquier. C'était une réaction aux règnes de Charles II d'Angleterre et de Jacques II d'Angleterre (également connu sous le nom de Jacques VII d'Écosse), que les importants revenus avaient rendus indépendants du Parlement britannique.

En 1697, lors des règnes de Guillaume III et Marie II, le Parlement fixa les revenus de la Couronne à  par an en temps de paix ; sur cette somme, environ 700 000 £ furent affectés à la liste civile. Les souverains devaient utiliser cette somme pour couvrir une partie des coûts de gestion du gouvernement civil (tels que la fonction publique, les salaires des juges et des ambassadeurs) et du paiement des pensions, ainsi que des dépenses des Maisons royales et princières, ainsi que les dépenses personnelles. C'est de là qu'est né le terme "liste civile" (Civil List) pour distinguer, dans les finances de l'État, ces frais des dépenses militaires et navales, financés par une imposition spéciale.

L'accession au trône de George III en 1760 marque un changement important dans les finances royales. Alors que son prédécesseur, George II, n'avait pas pris en charge tous les coûts spécifiques au gouvernement civil conformément à l'accord précédent, le Civil List Act 1760 décida que George III reverserait au Parlement les revenus héréditaires provenant du domaine de la Couronne pendant la durée de son règne, et qu'en retour, le Parlement assumerait la majeure partie des coûts du gouvernement civil. Le Parlement continuerait à payer la liste civile, ce qui couvrirait les dépenses de la maison royale et une partie des coûts du gouvernement civil. Cependant, George III conserverait les revenus du duché de Lancastre.

Après l'accession au trône de Guillaume IV en 1830, la somme votée pour la liste civile se limita aux dépenses de la maison royale, ce qui supprimait toute responsabilité résiduelle liée au coût du gouvernement civil. Cela a finalement supprimé tous les liens entre le souverain et le coût du gouvernement civil. Lors de l'accession de la reine Victoria, la Civil List Act 1837, qui rappelait les principes du système de liste civile et spécifiait l'acte antérieur en vigueur, fut adoptée. De cette époque jusqu'à l'avènement de la reine Élisabeth II, cet arrangement constitutionnel fut confirmé, mais le terme historique "Liste civile" demeura même si la concession n'avait plus rien à voir avec les dépenses du gouvernement civil.

En 1931, George V décida de ne pas percevoir sa liste civile de £ 50 000, en raison de la Grande Dépression. En tant que gardien de la Bourse privée, Sir Frederick Ponsonby écrivit au premier ministre Ramsay MacDonald pour lui dire que George avait estimé qu'il était possible de refuser la subvention par  et que la reine Mary et d'autres membres de la famille royale étaient .

Pensions de la liste civile

Dans la culture populaire
Dans l'épisode 3 de To Play the King, le Premier ministre Francis Urquhart (interprété par Ian Richardson) déclare à son ennemi politique, le roi (interprété par Michael Kitchen), que le gouvernement réexaminera la liste civile avant de tenir des élections générales. Le roi lui fait remarquer qu'un audit complet a été effectué l'année précédente et que l'examen proposé par Urquhart semble être vindicatif.

France
La notion de liste civile est apparue en France en 1790 sous le règne de , sur le modèle du Royaume-Uni. Elle se composait de deux éléments :

  attribuée par l'État au souverain pour les dépenses de sa maison, permettant de bien distinguer les dépenses de la couronne au sein du budget de l'État ;
 , constituée d'un ensemble de biens identifiés au sein du domaine de l'État. Elle se composait principalement de résidences servant à l'habitation du souverain, à l'entretien desquelles elle devait pourvoir. Sous Louis-Philippe, il fut décidé que les objets d'art acquis par la liste civile et placés dans des bâtiments de la dotation seraient réunis au domaine de la Couronne.

Avec la notion de liste civile apparaît sous la Restauration la notion, inconnue de l'Ancien Régime, de patrimoine du souverain, distinct du patrimoine de l'État : le souverain pouvait ainsi se constituer un domaine privé, transmissible ou non à ses héritiers, suivant les situations. Ceux qui n'étaient pas directement concernés par l'ordre de succession au trône recevaient généralement des apanages.

Canada
Au Canada, la liste civile était un terme courant durant la période précédant la Confédération; elle faisait référence au paiement de tous les fonctionnaires figurant sur la liste de paie du gouvernement. Il y avait beaucoup de controverse quant à savoir si la liste serait contrôlée par le gouverneur ou par l'Assemblée législative. L'Assemblée exigea le contrôle de toutes les questions financières, tandis que les gouverneurs craignaient que si l'Assemblée avait ce pouvoir, certains postes seraient radiés de la liste. Finalement, sous le gouvernement Baldwin-La Fontaine, un compromis fut trouvé avec Lord Elgin.

Le terme « liste civile » n'est plus couramment utilisé pour décrire le paiement des fonctionnaires au Canada, qui sont couverts par les budgets des agences exécutives.

Nouvelle-Zélande
La Civil List Act 1979 décrit les fonds alloués au gouverneur général, au premier ministre, aux ministres et aux membres du Parlement.

Maroc
Le roi du Maroc dispose également d'une liste civile (article 45 de la Constitution de 2011 , article 22 des constitutions précédentes ).

Singapour
Bien que le pays ne soit pas une monarchie, la Loi sur la liste civile et la gratification prévoit une liste civile et la gratification pour les frais de la présidence de Singapour.

Oyedepo Does Not Approve COVID-19 Vaccine.
Oyedepo does not approve of the COVID-19 Vaccine stating that he will not take the injection because he is not a guinea pig.
The Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide (a.k.a Winners' Chapel) David Oyedepo said yesterday the 17th of April that he would not take COVID-19 vaccine injection, saying that he is not a guinea pig.
The cleric expressed his profound disapproval for the vaccine during the church's Covenant Hour of Prayer program held at Faith Tabernacle – Canaanland, Sango Otta, Ogun State.
More than 160,000 Covid infections and more than 2,000 associated deaths have been recorded in the country in the last year, based on the statistics by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control.
Nigeria began its nationwide vaccination on the 5th of March after receiving 3.9 million doses courtesy of the COVAX scheme; the global alliance against COVID-19.
On the 16th of April, the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) said about 1,081,548 doses of the vaccine have so far been administered all across the Nation.
Oyedepo had initially disagreed with the lockdown directive and ignored the warnings that places of worship are vulnerable with respect to the spread of COVID-19.
The cleric had also said he would lay his bare hands on COVID-19 patients brought to him for prayer, while he also claimed that about 114 members of his church testified to have been healed of coronavirus.
At the program yesterday, Oyedepo stated that it was unethical to force people to take the vaccine.
The bishop said the church had the answer to some of the challenges the world faces. He also added that his job is to expose the devil and its agents.
The Bishop said he had never seen "a generation where people are forced to take vaccines. It is inhuman; it is unethical sir. I'm not a lawyer, but I do not think it is legally binding. You can't just arrive at my house and want to give me injections."
He also asked some rhetorical questions: "On what? Did I invite you? They may be confused. But the church has the answer. Did you see any outbreak of virus here? How will it enter the gate? Will it come through the air?
"How? One woman just became sick after taking that injection in Kaduna. What kind of life is that? Have human beings now been turned into guinea pigs? The world may be confused but the church is enlightened.
"So the victory of the church will humble the pride of the world. They are unaware of what to do sir. In the last days, the church will reign in power and glory. That is God's plan.
"No apologies. There is a big, big bird in our Nation, saying 'don't take it, they are deceivers'. Let me see the person that will come and inject me. By who?
"Are you going to tie my hands? How? Did I invite you? I know you are quiet, you will hear more of it. My job is to expose the devil and tell his agents, 'get out, we are not guinea pigs."

The building which Woodwork Studios 59 occupies is hidden behind one of the most frequented corner shops in the area. This building is an old Victorian industrial shell, and until a few weeks ago, housed a large, open workshop for artists and film makers.
The high ceilings, large iron gate, flexible working yard and the adjacent living units made this an ideal place for the three young artists to live and work, establishing their practice and exploring their art though metal working, mould making and casting. The space is also used the space to host exhibitions of their most recent work.

Trusting the Genesis Genealogies
For a very long time, people accepted the genealogies in Genesis as accurate chronologies: chronogenealogies. After Christians began ceding science to secularists with the advent of deep time and Darwinism, excuses were found to deny their accuracy.
There are many problems with this, including casting doubt on God's preservation of Scripture, his care for us, trusting Jesus, and a tacit denial of the truth of God's Word from the beginning. People have lost sight of the purposes of the genealogies.

On a somewhat side note, someone was hawking his book about leaving atheism and coming to Christ. Since he is in the flaming liberal United Methodist denomination (in which I was raised and my father was a pastor for fifty years), I suspect he has some serious theology problems. His reaction to my comment says a great deal:
It's unfortunate that you think only those who follow your unorthodox, recently cult derived interpretation of the Bible can claim to believe it.
— Sy Garte (@sygarte) November 20, 2021
Context is vitally important to understanding Scripture, and that not only includes the immediate text, but how passages are treated elsewhere in the Bible. Scripture interprets Scripture. Also, we need to remember to whom it was written, and why, and how it applies to us today. Filtering it through secular opinions and mythologies do violence to the meaning and to the theology presented in the chronogenealogies. Compromisers and fifth column theistic evolutionists tear down the faith.
Many people alive today do not believe that the genealogies in Genesis 5 and 11 present actual history. Also, many professing Christians do not believe that these genealogies contain a complete sequence (without gaps) of the generations from Adam to Abraham. For example, in a piece that appeared on the BioLogos website in July (2021), Richard Middleton asserted, "[I]t would be a mistake to use the genealogies in the primeval history (Genesis 1–11) to calculate the age of the earth or the human race."1 He claims that reading the Genesis genealogies in this way imposes modern expectations of precision on an ancient text that was written for different purposes. To the contrary, it is current scholars (like Middleton) who impose modern interpretations on the ancient text. Ancient Jewish scholars and essentially all Christian scholars before the mid-19th century understood that these genealogies presented a complete list of the patriarchal names and generations from Adam to Abraham.

Died Suddenly film review: It's a powerful showcase of vaccine dangers, but why is Dr. Jane Ruby missing from the film when she BROKE the story about fibrous clots in the first place? (UPDATED)
Friday, November 25, 2022 by: Mike Adams
Tags: badhealth, badmedicine, Blood clots, clot shots, Clots, died suddenly, film review, Jane Ruby, mRNA, Steve Kirsch, Stew Peters, vaccine wars, vaccines, vax deaths
(Natural News) The viral new film, "Died Suddenly" from Stew Peters depicts the widespread harm caused by experimental mRNA injections — so-called "vaccines" — that are killing an estimated 2,400+ Americans each day (source: Ed Dowd's excess mortality analysis based on insurance industry numbers and US Dept. of Labor numbers).
(Editor's note: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that the video of the collapse of basketball player Keyontae Johnson was in the film. In fact, that scene was found in the film's trailer, not the full film. We regret the error and have corrected it here.)
The film is getting millions of views across media platforms, including Rumble, Brighteon, Bitchute and others, while the mainstream media is going all-out to try to ban the film or attack its key message. Stew Peters is to be congratulated for having the courage to document this alarming phenomenon and put money behind a film effort to sound the alarm to a wider audience.
Although the usual suspects among left-wing media are hurling bad faith attacks at Stew Peters and the filmmakers, Steve Kirsch, who is prominently featured in the film, has published a defense of the film here: Answering the critics of "Died Suddenly."
Not everyone is thrilled with the documentary, however. The Covid Blog publisher Brian Wilkins — a meticulous analyst and researcher who has no specific political axe to grind — has published a critical review here, in which he gives the film 10/10 in its section on the clots, but says the film falls flat in becoming far too politicized and polarizing to ever gain much traction among those who don't already know that these vaccines are killing people. He says the film fails to point out that plenty of conservatives — including Trump, Sean Hannity, Ben Shapiro, etc. — all pushed the vaccines, too:
Too partisan and too much Steve Kirsch. There's good information about the monopolized mainstream media and its coordinated propaganda. I saw Joe Biden, George Soros, Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert (I think – I get all those guys mixed up), etc. as the villains. These people definitely push and promote the lethal injections. But so do Donald Trump, Sean Hannity, Mitch McConnell, Ben Shapiro before his mea culpa four weeks ago, etc.
This is a non-partisan, human, life-and-death issue. TPTB are right, left, up, down, turn around, touch the ground, whatever. Presenting only the left-wing/Democrat culprits and not their right-wing/GOP counterparts was a missed opportunity. It also places the film in the tribal politics category.
On the positive side, the film allows those who don't know vaccines are killing people to finally see it presented in a ready-to-consume format for the masses
Giving credit to Stew Peters, the film has packaged the vaccine damage issue in a ready-to-eat format that makes it easy for individuals who are new to the topic to finally "get it." For those who haven't been paying attention, in other words, this film gives them a summary of the nearly year-long work of Dr. Jane Ruby who first "discovered" embalmer Richard Hirschman and brought this issue to light. (See more about Dr. Jane Ruby below, where I ask why she's missing from the film.)
The film has so far received millions of views, so it's a sure bet that lots of people are seeing it who weren't previously aware of the fibrous clot issue that people like Dr. Jane Ruby and myself have been reporting on for the last year. If this means that some number of lives will be saved by people learning the truth, then the film has done its job and the filmmakers are to be commended for their efforts.
On the negative side, the film was clearly rushed and shows videos of individuals whose health problems had nothing to do with vaccines
Critics of the film are correctly pointing out that in the rush to release it, some footage was used that appears to depict adults or babies who are vaccine injured but, as it turns out, were injured in ways not at all related to vaccines. One scene found in the film's trailer depicts former University of Florida basketball player Keyontae Johnson collapsing during a Florida State University game. The problem is that this collapse took place on December 12, 2020, well before the vaccine was available in the United States, according to ESPN. (h/t to Wilkins for the link) (Note: This paragraph was updated to reflect the fact that the Johnson collapse scene was found in the trailer, not the full film. We have corrected it here. We regret the error.)
There are other factual errors in the film that are of course being widely circulated by the pro-vax media in an effort to discredit the film. I'm not going to list them here, because I think the pharma-funded media would use anything they could to attack the film and try to get people to ignore the more important message which is that people who get these mRNA injections begin to grow fibrous clots in their vascular systems, and this ends up killing many of them. No one in mainstream media will discuss this point, even though that's the thrust of the film.
But Stew Peters' filmmakers certainly did make it easier for the pro-vax media to discredit the film, because there are several notable errors throughout, and all it takes for a vaccine zealot to discredit the entire film is to find a single error and point to that.
Honestly, I think that if Dr. Jane Ruby had been involved with the film, she could have vetted this and likely caught these errors and saved Stew Peters and the filmmakers from the embarrassment and criticism that's now being waged by those citing the errors.
For the record, I'm not saying I'm 100% correct on everything, either. I've made errors in reporting. If the errors are factual errors, I always work to correct them once aware of them. But I've produced films like Biosludged (www.Biosludged.com), and although the guests featured in the film have their own opinions and viewpoints, we were careful to make sure that all the accompanying B-roll footage was not misleading or misappropriated. Nobody has claimed the footage we used in the film wasn't presented in an accurate context about biosludge.
In defense of the film, there was an effort to hurry up and get it released to try to stop the deaths
Nevertheless, in Stew Peters' defense, the covid vaccines are killing people by the thousands each day, so I understand the rush to release this movie and help save lives. There is clearly an urgency to get this out and try to get people to stop committing vaccine-assisted suicide. It's just that rushing the film — and yes, I think it was clearly rushed without adequate fact checking of the video clips used — hands ammunition to the vaccine pushers who will use the errors to discredit the entire film, thereby causing fewer people to see it. Thus, while rushing the film may have been intended to save lives, failing to fact check all the video clips is causing the film to reach far fewer people than it should have, which means more people are ultimately dying from the vaccines. So it's a very difficult situation to navigate.
Also, in Stew Peters' defense, I want to add that it's easy for people who have never made films to criticize films they view, but it's a whole different thing to actually make films. Now, I've made films, so I know how complex this is, so I think I have the right to offer qualified criticism where called for. But for a whole lot of people who have never made films, never joined the discussion, never done a podcast, never put their face in front of a camera and called out the liars, it's a bit disingenuous to point the finger at Stew and say, "Hey YOU screwed up! Why don't you do better?"
My immediate answer to those people is along the lines of, "Why don't YOU make your own film if you think you can do better?" After all, everybody is free to post on Brighteon, Bitchute, Rumble, Gab and other platforms. So to those who are complaining about "Died Suddenly" but never made their own films, why don't you first try to make your own documentary and see what it takes. After that, you can complain, if you have any time or money left. (Because documentaries are sink holes of time and money, and they almost always lose money…)
If you are looking for a way to vaporize hundreds of thousands of dollars while making yourself a magnet for intense criticism, make a documentary!
Why is Dr. Jane Ruby missing from the film when she's the one who broke the story in the first place?
That said, I do have one key criticism of this entire project. And it's not about what's in the film; it's about what's missing from it.
Namely, that's Dr. Jane Ruby.
Dr. Jane Ruby broke the "fibrous clots" story from the very beginning. She's the one who first "discovered" embalmer Richard Hirschman. She did the initial due diligence, conducted the phone calls, and reached out to people like myself to get lab tests done on the clots so that she could try to confirm what they were made of. (For the record, we still don't know for sure what they're made of, but we are able to eliminate some guesses on what they're not, which is helpful.)
Dr. Jane Ruby first broke this story about the fibrous clots on January 31 of 2022, in this Rumble video entitled, "Worldwide Exclusive: Embalmers Find Veins & Arteries Filled with Never Before Seen Rubbery Clots."
Here's an embed of the same video on Brighteon, from a third party channel:
From that first breaking news exclusive, Dr. Jane Ruby went on to conduct dozens of interviews and investigation pieces into the fibrous clots story. You can see many of those videos on her channel on Rumble. Or just search Brighteon.com for "Jane Ruby clots" and you'll see plenty of videos.
During the first half of 2022, Dr. Ruby was reaching out to me privately, asking if I could volunteer our laboratory expertise to examine these clots. I agreed, and she arranged for Richard Hirschman to send clot specimens to my lab. I currently have a fascinating collection of these fibrous clots in my laboratory, where we are still conducting microscopy work (many new photos coming soon) and ICP-MS mass spec analysis.
On June 13th, I invited Dr. Jane Ruby and Richard Hirschman to the Alex Jones Show, where I had been invited to host the show. We made radio history that day by conducting the very first live, on-air microscopy examination of the fibrous clots that had been provided by Hirschman. I brought a $100,000 laboratory microscope to the InfoWars studios in Austin and we did the whole thing live, with Harrison Smith sitting next to me trying not to barf up his breakfast as we manipulated grotesque clot structures with tweezers under the microscope, amplified on the large monitors in the studio.
You can watch that groundbreaking episode on Banned.video at this link. The title of that episode is, "Scientists Confirm COVID Vaccines Contain Nanostructures Colonizing In The Human Body."
In fact, most of the fibrous clot microscopy photos circulating around the 'net today are photos that I personally took and published either on NaturalNews.com or aired on the Alex Jones Show as exclusive content.
I published my breaking news photos on June 12, 2022, in an article titled, "EXCLUSIVE: Shocking microscopy photos of blood clots extracted from those who "suddenly died" – crystalline structures, nanowires, chalky particles and fibrous structures."
Here's one of the photos that you may recognize:
The "died suddenly" clot phenomenon would not have been known if not for the investigative journalism work of Dr. Jane Ruby
The point is, Dr. Jane Ruby was so instrumental in the breaking of this story that to leave her out of the documentary film is truly astonishing. It would be like doing a documentary on venom peptide theory without mentioning Dr. Bryan Ardis. This story simply wouldn't exist — at least not in 2022 — without Jane Ruby.
What makes this even more strange to me is the fact that Dr. Jane Ruby works for Stew Peters. She's on the Stew Peters network, after all, and so it is impossible that Stew wasn't aware of Jane's work in this area. For whatever reason, Stew Peters made a decision to make this documentary without the one woman upon whose work the entire subject matter was based. I find that incredibly odd.
I texted Stew about all this, of course, because I wanted to know why she was left out. I won't share the content of those texts because it was a private conversation, but the upshot is that Stew did reply, which I appreciate, but he didn't offer any explanation or answer about why she wasn't included in the film.
So Dr. Jane Ruby does all the research, finds Hirschman, vets him, gets the clots, gets the lab work done, publicizes the issue, does dozens of interviews and essentially breaks this whole story to the world… and then she's somehow not included in "Died Suddenly?" But the thumbnail of Died Suddenly says, "Stew Peters presents." So Stew Peters is the name associated with the film and given credit for the film, while Jane Ruby isn't even mentioned.
Instead, Steve Kirsch is prominently featured in the film. Nothing against Kirsch in this role, and it's great that he's in the film because he has done a tremendous amount of good work publicizing all this, but Steve Kirsch didn't break this story. Jane Ruby did. And she appears nowhere in the film, even though the film is produced by the same people who have Jane Ruby on their payroll.
Please chime in with comments, because I hope I'm not the only person who finds this curious.
Why giving credit is critical if we are to function as a community of health freedom advocates
When it comes to medicine, science, journalism and the like, it is essential we give credit to those whose work we stand upon. In my own work at Natural News, when we post an article written by someone else, we credit them twice — once at the top and once at the bottom of each article. This is why Brian Wilkins (TheCovidBlog) describes us as an honest shop. We don't plagiarize content, and we give credit where credit is due. In my podcasts, I also credit every publisher when I'm reading their headlines, whether it's Newspunch.com, SHTFplan.com, The Epoch Times or whoever initiated the story in the first place. I'm a stickler for giving credit to others, even though my own work is constantly ripped off and plagiarized by others. (There are people on YouTube who simply 'perform" my articles audibly, and post those videos for profit while giving me zero mention or credit. Yes, that's how insane the plagiarism is in this industry…)
If anybody deserves credit on the fibrous clots story, it's Dr. Jane Ruby. Half the reason I'm writing this article is to make sure she gets proper credit across the health freedom industry, because people need to know that she's the one who deserves the most credit for this story. Without Jane, there's no story and there's no documentary. Across alt media outlets, I see all sorts of credit being given to "Stew Peters" for this film. I see his name on the film trailer, the thumbnail, the shout-outs, but I don't see Stew giving any credit to Jane Ruby.
In my experience, if you expect to work with people, you've got to give them credit where credit is due. I run a network over well over 50+ hosts on Brighteon.TV and BrighteonRadio.com. To help promote them, I invite them on as guests and interview them and promote their channels, their names, their books and their projects. I conduct 200+ interviews a year, and in every single case, I promote their websites, channels, books, etc. You can see hundreds of such interviews at my channel page on Brighteon, if you want to fact check this:
If you want to be successful in this industry, you promote the people around you, you don't ghost them. And until Dr. Jane Ruby is acknowledged for her role in all this, any documentary on this subject is incomplete.
Dr. Ruby deserves recognition. I'm going to publicly call out Stew Peters on this, in a polite way, reminding us all that the film is powerful, and he deserves a lot of credit for the project. But so does Jane Ruby, and she's getting ghosted. My question to Stew and the filmmakers is would you consider updating the film, or releasing a new chapter, that recognizes Jane Ruby's role in all this? I would be very supportive of that effort, and I think the greater community would be as well. I'll ask Steve Kirsch for his thoughts on this as well, but I imagine he would be supportive.
What do you think? Sound off in the comments, if you wish. Both Stew Peters and Jane Ruby are on Telegram, by the way, so you can ping them there if you support this idea. Please be polite in all cases. This is an honest discussion and I want the best for both Stew Peters and Jane Ruby. I want the best for all humanity, come to think of it, which is why we are all sounding the alarm on all this in the first place.

Hobson's Choice is an historic home located near Alberta, Brunswick County, Virginia. It was built in the Palladian style about 1794 by Dr. Richard Feild for his bride Ann Meade, on land the groom bought from his father-in-law. The
Edinburgh educated physician also had considerable knowledge of botany and astronomy, edited The Intelligencer and Petersburg Commercial Advertiser, and three times served as a Presidential elector. Although Feild died in 1829, the plantation stayed in the family until 1870.

The one-story brick structure has a central pavilion with flanking wings connected by hyphens in a late-Georgian style.  A stone addition was built about 1860, a brick room added in 1947, and a frame enclosed porch about 1953.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

South Western Railway: Ticket machines not working as 'outage' affects entire network on Bank Holiday
South Western Railway says it is working to rectify the issue and apologises for any inconvenience
Tom SmurthwaiteContent editor
An "outage" has affected station ticket machines across the entire South Western Railway network.
The operator tweeted that station machines are "currently not working" at around 9am on Bank Holiday Monday (August 28).
South Western Railway (SWR) said: "Station ticket machines are currently not working. We will update you in due course and we apologise for the inconvenience.
"The outage is across the entire network. Our team are looking into why this has happened and are rectifying the issue currently."
SWR went on to issue advice for people unable to buy tickets.

"Ticket offices will be open as planned, although if you are at an unstaffed station you can purchase from the guard on the train," it said.
"If you have any issues in the future please speak to the guard on the train as they may be able to sell you a ticket or allow you to purchase one at your destination."
The operator had previously warned users to expect a "considerably reduced" service from Saturday (August 26) to Monday (August 28).
It said passengers should avoid using Vauxhall Station and use London Waterloo, and allow an extra 30 minutes to catch your train to London Waterloo.
The Waterloo upgrade works have been running since August 5 and are due to finish on Monday (August 28).
SWR took over the south western rail franchise on August 20 from previous operator South West Trains, on a seven-year-contract.

Did somebody miss out on being in the picture? Or maybe you don't have a photo of your self and special person or pet? Maybe Aunt Sally was too slow and missed getting into the family portrait, we can fix that. We can add a person or object to most photos. In these examples we have added a person or people to the photo. We do our best to blend the new person or object into the photo so that they don't look like they have just been pasted in. Not all photos are suitable to have a person or object added but most are.
This photo of the soccer team was reasonably good but there was one problem. The manager didn't get in before the photo was taken. The second photo has the manager in place but unfortunately not all the players were looking at the camera. The solution was to add the manager to the first photo making the team complete.
We've united all three friends in the same photo.
These sisters hadn't had a photo together in many years, unfortunately they missed their chance as two have passed away. The only way to reunite the sisters was to put them in the same photo.


A regional engineering trade association serving the South West of England is changing its name to the British Engineering Manufacturers` Association (BEMA) and expanding its membership across the UK. The organisation, formerly known as the Bristol and Western Engineering Manufacturers` Association, is initially targeting small and medium sized engineering businesses located along the M4 corridor and near the M5.
BEMA director John Whitlow says the organisation will offer support services and assistance, particularly to smaller firms. "By expanding nationally," he says, "many more businesses will benefit from our hands-on approach and, at the same time, a bigger BEMA will have a more powerful voice in manufacturing matters."
The organisation`s new name was unveiled by CBI director-general Digby Jones at a ceremony in Bristol. He pointed out that BEMA "has had the unenviable task of working in one of the hardest hit sectors," adding that its national expansion delivered "a strong and positive message".
"We will be doing our utmost to lobby for changes in Government policy to give British manufacturers a level playing field," says Whitlow. "Up-skilling the labour force is essential for the long-term survival of the sector, but we`re also pushing for initiatives to encourage investment in modern plant and equipment".


The Mets added some depth to their bullpen on Monday and recalled right-handed reliever Drew Gagnon and optioned infielder Luis Guillorme to Triple-A Syracuse.
The move leaves the Mets without a backup shortstop but Todd Frazier is expected to be activated from the injured list relatively soon and would provide them with another infielder.
Frazier, 33, actually played shortstop in a rehab game last week and was expected to replace Guillorme's spot on the roster once healthy.
Jeff McNeil is likely the team's emergency shortstop.


So it's now A few days since my first one man show and I have had a little time to reflect upon how i feel having performed. I've got to say I feel great, there was a fantastic turn out and some really positive feed back and lots of encouragement to do it again. And on that front, I want to do it again too!
Thats a jolly good question, I will almost definitely be starting to look for some bookings so if you are interested please do get in touch via the contact form. I am in a position where I am going to need to make a charge for putting on the show, but during these first stages I will be trying to keep costs down as much as possible. So do get in touch via the contact page if you would be interested in hosting a show.
I thought it was great. Definitely your ministry and should be repeated. Asking for a small charge is perfectly fine. I hope you get some bookings. You got the audience participating. (3 year old Charlie stuck his hand up every time)! You know I love it when we have audience participation at our CC services and you do it so well. Perfectly natural and you look so at ease hence you relax your audience! Always enjoy AAW when you lead it. I don't know if it was where I was seated but I did have some difficulty in hearing all of the words of your opening song. Everything else was fine. Well done and very pleased for you. First one under your belt with hopefully more to come.
Thanks Kate, there were some issues with the song that i need to sort for next time so no it wasn't just where you were sitting. Many thanks for your continued encouragement.


Thanks, I'll upgrade to v2.03. My question above stands: Is there a single file executable installer, just like was for my current v.2.01 which would also create an executable launch file?
To select HDMIs, the separate button called HDMI must be used.
I've installed RMIR v.2.03build4 and used it to load the Vicky's updated upgrade (UNIDEN_TV.txt) into my 8910B00. Still doesn't work.
I uploaded it here for your study and comparison.
Please let me know what else I should try.
I am kind of OK for now, as Comcast 1067Bx3 seems to work, but it'd be nice to get to the bottom of why 8910 doesn't.
I found 4 AAA batteries testing.
I tried uploading your RMIR file, and got a Mem Fault and then the TV setup was TV/0047, not TV/2003.
Following the master reset instruction in the wiki I did a 8910 Manufacturer's Reset and tried again. Same result.
So saved the RMIR file as an IR file and repeated the reset followed by an upload from IR, and still got the Mem Fault.
Looking at this in IR, I see two 0160 protocols, so I deleted the second one, and it uploaded fine. TV/2003 on the TV button shot nearly identical signals to the Comcast signals. the timing difference was miniscule.
Of course the POWER and MENU buttons won't work because you have not deleted the learns, so the learns override the upgrade.
So I went back to RMIR and looked at the protocols tab where the second 0160 protocol was. I deleted it, and uploaded the image to the 8910 and that worked great, signals still look fine.
Bottom line, the 8910 remote despised the duplicate unused protocol.
1) I opened my latest RMIR (the one made with v2.03) with the same version (2.03) of RMIR that I installed yesterday, then uploaded it into 8910 - all uploaded OK, no memory fault messages, but it didn't work.
2) I removed the two TV learns (POWER and MENU), uploaded it into 8910 again, and it worked!
3) I didn't remove any protocols. Note that there's only one protocol (01 60 (2)) that appears in the Protocols tab of RMIR in my case. And I didn't touch it. All works OK.
So, all in all, it appears that all it was is just a stuff-up on my side with forgetting to remove POWER and MENU learns from TV device in 8910.
Looks like the version of RMIR and custom protocol has little or nothing to do with that.
And yes, I admit that you pointed the POWER/TV learns to me, and I just didn't pay attention. I am really sorry, Vicky.
So it's almost all sorted, except I still would like someone to explain to me why all OBC codes got changed in RMDU upgrade that I linked to in the first post on this page. "Got changed" - I mean, compared to what I set them to before saving the upgrade to the RMDU file.
As I explained, all OBCs were below 110 when I created the upgrade.
Now, in saved RMDU file, they are all over the place.
Okay I don't have a clue as to what is going on with this file. All I know is that mem fault was a problem with my 8910 working with this file. So something was corrupt in this setup I'm not sure why.
It is really kind of a mystry.
I can't look at the RMDU file in RM as I don't have the tool anymore, but looking at the file in Notepad, am I right in guessing that the OBCs for the numeric buttons were a match (ie, the OBC for number 1 was 1, etc)?
Now you say the OBCs are random and scrambled, what is the new OBC for the #2 button? Is it 64, 254 or 192?
You should be using LSB.
I am away from my home setup now, so I will answer your Q tonight.
From the memory, the OBCs for numeric buttons were in sequence, but I don't think they were a match... but I don't want to confuse anyone, I'll tell you in a few (7+) hours.
In the meantime, just for my benefit: what are the formulas for converting between OBC, HEX and EFC ?
I understand the Little/Big Endian confusion (aka Motorola Hex vs Intel Hex in the old good days) - I'd be able to have a more educated look at those codes if I knew the conversion rules.
I wouldn't bother trying to convert to or from EFC as those codes are deliberately scrambled by UEI.
As for converting from hex to OBC you need to work with binary instead of hex and you need to know if you are dealing with LSB or MSB and if it's comp'd.
hex 0x01 = 00000001 in binary, which is OBC 1 in MSB or OBC 128 in LSB. To get the comp'd version subtract the OBC from 255.
- How do I change the view in RMIR between MSB/LSB-COMP/MSB-COMP ?
...that is the HEX codes are "flipped horizontally" binary numbers of the OBC codes.
I don't know what to make of it... but it's good that I get the logic.
You need to go back and learn the basics of boolean math to understand the different kinds of complements (comp), most significant bit (MSB), etc. Hex deals at the byte level, but you're flipping bits, so you need to work in binary unless you can convert the hex to binary in your head. You need to do these format conversions by hand. RM won't do them for you.
I learned all this stuff in engineering school, but there are some great wiki's out there that at least cover the basics. Like anything, you need practice to understand and get good at it.
Or you can use the HEX Tool in Bart's IrScrutinizer that does the hex for you, and lets you switch back and forth effortlessly.
In a very, very simple protocol like this, there is a direct relationship between the hex and the OBC. That is not usually the case.
In RMIR under Hex settings, make sure preserve data is not checked.
Edit the protocol to interpret the protocol as LSB , its MSB by default.
Then edit the device again and paste the hex into the hex column.
Note you will also need to fix the Device.
When I asked Rob what "Comp'd" was, I was just confused by that 'd suffix, as usually "(two-)complement" term is used rather than "complemented".
Also, I don't understand the reason for using the complements in RM. Those are normally used for representing the negative numbers, but all HEX and OBC codes are positive (or non-negative, I should say). Codes above 127 (the ones having 1 in MSbit) could I guess be interpreted as negative numbers, but from what Rob's written above, they all get "complemented" by subtracting them from 256 (we have to discard bit8 for comp OBC=0 though). Beats me.
I am pretty sure there is a logic behind doing this and that's just my poor familiarity with the JP1 tools.
I fully appreciate the MSbit/LSbit dualism though, as the sequence of bits can be serially transmitted Head-first or Tail-first. That's okay.
When I said "I don't know what to make of it", I meant: "...what to make of the fact that they don't load back the same as they were saved".
The conversion functions are as clear as: New OBCs are just HEX2DEC of the hex codes.
Vicky's answer above kinda suggests that it is a bug, but it's strange that it doesn't show up in Vicky's setup.
Sorry, that "comp'd" question gave the impression that you had no idea what we were talking about. I see this is far from the truth. My apologies.
Unfortunately I have no clue why the bits are flipping by themselves.
I can't speak for what RM is (or isn't) doing as I haven't used it in years and I've been through several PCs since I last used the tools, so I don't have Java installed.
Anyway, the only reason we need to ever consider complements is because you create an executor you have two options as to which pair you consider to be the logical 1 or 0, so one option would be the natural binary and the other would be the complement, and UEI typically chooses the complement. My use of the term "comp'd" was just an abbreviation for the longer term complemented, so yes I was using it as a verb.
But back to the question at hand, RM stores codes using the hex codes, so when you re-load an upgrade using a custom executor, there are 4 possibilities for how it interprets the hex in order to come up with OBC codes. I don't recall what options you have to switch between the 4, so a current user would have to advise on that.
Also, I don't understand the reason for using the complements in RM. Those are normally used for representing the negative numbers, but all HEX and OBC codes are positive (or non-negative, I should say). Codes above 127 (the ones having 1 in MSbit) could I guess be interpreted as negative numbers, but from what Rob's written above, they all get "complemented" by subtracting them from 255 (we have to discard bit8 for comp OBC=0 though).
Anyway, regarding the complement that Rob refers to, mathematicians typically call this operation as the "one's complement". Computer programmers typically call it simply the "complement" or the "bit-wise complement". It can be performed by subtracting the operand from 255 if the operand is 8 bits. More generally the operation is performed on x by calculating (2^N-1)-x, where N is the number of bits of x. In binary notation, it can also be performed by replacing each 1 with a 0 and each 0 with a 1. The C programming language employs the ~ (tilda) character to indicate this operation. The Samsung ASM language uses the mnemonic COM; x86 ASM uses NOT.
"Two's complement" is formed from x by calculating 2^N-x (256-x for 8 bit numbers), and as you say it is very useful in performing signed arithmetic. For 8 bit numbers, The C programming language denotes this operation with the - (minus) character. x86 ASM uses NEG. I don't believe Samsung has a notation for this operation. Offhand, I can't think of a use for two's complement in forming IR signals.
