When good TV goes bad: how teen fave Dawson's Creek lost its paddle
A Sunday morning staple in the late 90s, it didn't start veering off course until Joey was involved in a mugging that was never mentioned again

It's complicated ... the cast of Dawson's Creek. Photograph: Rex Features
At the turn of the century, Dawson's Creek established itself as a great and controversial teen drama, tackling everything from virginity stigmas to affairs with school faculty members in the pilot alone. A Sunday morning staple of the late 90s and early 00s, it was a mix between 90210 and Party Of Five, and delivered unto us a pre-Oscar nominated Michelle Williams, godfather of memes James Van Der Beek and a young Katie Holmes, all while consistently raising the question of whether or not men and women can just be friends. It was sensationalist and overly dramatic, but you grew up assuming at some point your own life would begin to mimic such over-the-top fiction. (It never did.)
My relationship with Dawson's Creek is a complicated one. From 1998 to 2003, I watched Dawson Leery navel-gaze in cargo shorts and wondered how he managed to have friends, let alone date his best one. I championed Joey-and-Pacey, mourned Abby, and wondered which writer pitched Mitch Leery's death-by-dropped-ice-cream cone. And, like you, I'd ask myself: "Why am I still watching this?"
But while delivering everything from undercover sting operations and student-teacher affairs to a fresh-faced Seth Rogen, the show never truly lost its way until Downtown Crossing, AKA "The One Where Joey Gets Mugged". The season five episode saw Joey held at gunpoint at an ATM in a snowstorm before her attacker gets hit by a car. But instead of calling the police, she gets him to a hospital, because he reminds her of her own dad. Joey then leaves the hospital surer of herself (albeit also arguably emotionally traumatised), and the incident is never mentioned again. Seriously: in the next episode, the girl can't get a word in edgeways when a guy she liked breaks it off, thinking she'd stood him up the night before. And that was it.
Had this episode ended with Joey realising it was all a dream, it would've made more sense than what actually happened. To start, at no point when in hospital is Joey questioned by police or asked if she's OK by doctors. There's also no reference to the incident in the episodes to come. Also, few of us would take being held at gunpoint in such stride. (I mean, we all deal with peril uniquely, but few of us would accompany our attackers to the ER on he hunch that they had a Good Heart™. Or maybe I'm just a terrible person.)
This episode could've given us real insight into Joey. We could've learned how, in the wake of a life-altering experience, she reassesses her friendships and family, especially as a grown-ass woman nearing the end of the series. We could've had an arc on post-traumatic stress. Instead, we got a breakup with a character I had to IMDB to remember, and Chad Michael Murray as Joey's new love interest Charlie, who played in a band. (Of course he did.)
When the show wound down a year and a half later, it left a trail of "are you serious right now?" in its wake. Season six saw Joey and Dawson try dating again. It also gave us an episode in which Joey emails the entire school, thinking she's only emailed Dawson. (No one does this.) Dawson goes on to eventually make a movie in which his actors wreak havoc on the lives of our beloved foursome. And then Jen (Williams) died. What the hell?
I blame it all on that ATM episode and the man credited only as Joey's Mugger. Or as I like to call him, He Who Shall Not Be Named.

Little is known about his early military career, except that the inscription of his dog tag (No. 1406 1. Geb.Jäg.Ers.Btl.98) suggests that he belonged to the staff of the Gebirgsjäger-Ersatz-Bataillon I./98 in Mittenwald, which was part of the 8th Mountain Division. Lengfeld was wounded several times on the Eastern Front and received awards.

In 1944, Lengfeld was assigned to the 275th Infantry Division established in France. Lengfeld was commander of the 2nd Company of the divisional Fusilier battalion of the 275th Infantry Division during the fighting at the Battle of Hurtgen Forest. This was used in November 1944 around the minefield (internal place name: Wilde Sau) and forester's house Hürtgen. On the afternoon of 2 November 1944, the German troops built a line of defense that led from the Wilde Sau minefield to the west side of the road. A machine gun nest protected the mine-free alley that now leads to the cemetery. The supply route for the American troops was the old Zweifaller Straße, via which heavy tracked vehicles could be brought to the front during the fighting. The attack on Hürtgen, which started from here on 2 November, was stopped a little later by the Germans in the area of the Wilde Sau minefield. The minefield stopped the advance of the American 109th Infantry Regiment.

On 3 November, the 116th Panzer Division "Greyhounds" recaptured the torn front between Schmidt and Hürtgen. On 4 November the counterattacks by the American armed forces began. Heavy fighting raged in the area between Vossenack and Schmidt, accompanied by artillery strikes and tank battles. The United States Army Air Corps took part in the ground fighting due to its air superiority, but had to discontinue air support due to the very bad weather. After heavy losses of the 109th Infantry Regiment, the front section was taken over by the 12th Infantry Regiment of the 4th US Infantry Division on 7 and 8 November. Lieutenant Lengfeld and his messenger, Hubert Gees, led a patrol to an American outpost that had not yet been reoccupied by the US Army. Around noon on 10 November, the German commanders opened a half-hour heavy artillery bombardment at the head of the forest and on the American front line southwest of Hürtgen. This was a fresh attempt to push the Americans back by whatever means available. Lieutenant Lengfeld's company was besieged by American troops (12th US Infantry Regiment). The strategically important forester's house changed hands several times during the battles.

On the night of 12 November, the American troops briefly retook the Hürtgen forester's lodge, but were repulsed by the Germans in the morning hours. In the morning of 12 November 1944, the German soldiers heard calls for help and screams of pain from the Wilde Sau minefield. It was a wounded American soldier who was calling for help on the embankment of the eastern road, in the middle of no man's land between the front lines. Lieutenant Lengfeld gave the order under no circumstances to shoot any American medics who might be approaching, so that they could rescue and treat the wounded soldier. Since around 10:30 a.m. local time the wounded soldier's calls for help continued even after hours, Lieutenant Lengfeld ordered his own paramedics to form a rescue team. He led this troop under the symbol of the Red Cross past his own tank mines, the location of which was relatively easy to see. When Lengfeld crossed the street at the level of the seriously wounded American, an anti-personnel mine tore him to the ground. The shrapnel effects of the anti-personnel mine caused serious internal injuries to Lengfeld. As soon as possible, he was under the leadership of a slightly injured NCO for dressing station Lukas mill and later taken to the main dressing station in Froitzheim, where his death was determined. Friedrich Lengfeld rests on the Düren-Rölsdorf war cemetery (final grave site: grave 38).

Legacy
At the Hürtgen Cemetery of Honor, there is a memorial in his honor, which the Veterans Association of the 22nd US Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division had erected on 7 October 1994 in honor of Lengfeld. This and the memorial in honor of Karl-Heinz Rosch in the Netherlands are the only known memorials for German Wehrmacht soldiers that were erected by the opponents of the time.

The other soldier
There is no reliable information about the identity and fate of the wounded American soldier in the minefield. Friedrich Lengfeld's eyewitness and reporter, Hubert Gees, states in his eyewitness report that the wounded GI may have been able to be transported or walked. However, this first impression does not correspond to a profound medically performed triage. Gees speculates in his report that the wounded US soldier was able to save himself to the American lines before the area was recaptured by the German Wehrmacht on 13 November 1944.

Oil exploration in the southern Libyan desert in the mid-1950s revealed vast quantities of fresh, clean groundwater - this could meet growing national demand and development goals.
In 1983, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi initiated a huge civil water works project known as the Great Man-Made River (GMMR) - a massive irrigation project that drew upon the underground basin reserves of the Kufra, Sirte, Morzuk, Hamada and the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer - to deliver more than five million cubic metres of water per day to cities along Libya's coastal belt.
"The Colonel's GMMR project was discounted when first unveiled as an uneconomic flight of fancy and a wasteful exploitation of un-renewable freshwater reserves," Middle East-based journalist Iason Athanasiadis told IPS. "But subsequently it was hailed as a masterful work of engineering, tapping into underground aquifers so vast that they could keep the 2007 rate of dispersal going for the next 1,000 years."
Lying beneath the four African countries Chad, Egypt, Libya and Sudan, the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS) is the world's largest fossil water aquifer system, covering some two million square kilometres and estimated to contain 150,000 cubic kilometres of groundwater.
"The GMMR provides 70 percent of the population with water for drinking and irrigation, pumping it from Libya's vast underground aquifers like the NSAS in the south to populated coastal areas 4,000 kilometres to the north," Ivan Ivekovic, professor of political science at the American University of Cairo told IPS.
"The entire project was drawn out over five phases. Phase one took water from eastern pipelines in As- Sarir and Tazerbo to Benghazi and Sirte; phase two supplied water in Tripoli and western pipelines in Jeffara from the Fezzan region; and phase three intended to create an integrated system and increase the total daily capacity to almost four million cubic metres and provide up to 138,000 cubic metres per day to Tobruk."
With an estimated cost of nearly 30 billion dollars, the GMMR's network of nearly 5,000 kilometres of pipeline from more than 1,300 wells drilled up to 500 metres deep into the Sahara was also intended to increase the amount of arable land for agricultural production.
"Libya could start an agro-business similar to California's San Joaquin Valley. Like Libya, California is essentially desert but because of irrigation and water works projects that desert valley became the largest producer of food and cotton in the world, making it the ninth largest economy in the world," Patrick Henningsen, 21st Century Wire editor and founder, told IPS.
"At the moment the only agro-markets in the Mediterranean zone competing to supply citrus and various other popular supermarket products to Europe are Israel and Egypt. In 10 or 20 years, Libya could surpass both of those countries because they now have the water to green the desert."
In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) water has created a growing regional crisis and could be an impetus for further unrest. Demand is increasing as populations skyrocket - reserves are rapidly depleting and food inflation has taken its toll on cash-strapped countries dependent on imported food staples.
"There are several elements to the Libyan mess. One of them is certainly water. I would highlight the issue by quoting similar situations in South and Central Asia," News Central Asia Editor Tariq Saeedi told IPS.
"Kashmir is understood to be the cause of rift between India and Pakistan but actually it's the water of three rivers - Ravi, Sutlej and Beas - that originate from upper Kashmir that is the source of dispute.
"The Amudarya River that starts from Afghanistan and criss-crosses between Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan before terminating at Aral Sea is another example. The ability of this river to trigger a conflict in Central Asia will rise proportionately with the ability of Afghanistan to use more water from Amudarya for its own use.
"In a nutshell, whoever controls NSAS, controls the economies, foreign policies and destinies of several countries in the region, not just north-eastern Africa," explains Saeedi.
Last month, Libyan officials warned that NATO airstrikes on the GMMR's pipelines could cause a humanitarian and environmental disaster. But pro-government forces could also disrupt the GMMR's flow if they wish, leaving opposition-held regions in the east with only the Ajdabiya reservoir - this holds just a month's supply of water.
"Pure freshwater from the south must continue being pumped because without it Benghazi would die," says Ivekovic. "The water pipelines run parallel to the oil and gas pipelines and it's interesting that with most of the fighting happening around the areas of Ajdabiya, Sirte and Benghazi that none of these pipes have yet been damaged."
"In a desertifying region already wracked by water conflict, Libya's enormous aquatic reserves will be a large prize for whoever gets the upper hand in this struggle," says Athanasiadis.

Procedural storytelling is exploding the possibilities of video game narratives
Home Reviews Procedural storytelling is exploding the possibilities of video game narratives
Reviews, Science
November 30, 2021November 30, 2021By J.D. Smith
Procedural stories in video games often induce a specific kind of delight. You'll know when it hits — a realization that the code and algorithms of the game seem to be generating a coherent narrative from your own impulsive, seemingly chaotic actions. It's what 2020's viral sensation Blaseball and this year's breakout indie hit, Wildermyth, share in common — two strikingly different games whose reactive stories are nevertheless cut from the very same cloth.
Players have grown accustomed to procedural generation in a spatial sense. Just look at the endless variations of levels that define games such as Hades in the ever-popular rogue-like genre and the infinite planets that populate the virtual universe of 2016's No Man's Sky. But procedural narratives are a different beast. (Distinct, it should be noted, from pre-written branching stories). They're slippery, simulation-driven configurations of plot, setting, conflict, resolution, and people.
Drama, as video games continue to prove, is harder to convince players of than space itself, which makes procedural successes all the more eye-catching — from mainstream hits such as The Sims to cult classics like Rimworld. Now it feels like this sandbox approach to storytelling is starting to bear even greater narrative fruit.
If you ask game makers about the origins of procedural narratives, you'll get nothing resembling a consensus. For some, it started with randomly generated dungeons of 1980's Rogue; for others, choose-your-own-adventure books. Nate Austin, designer and programmer of tactical role-playing game Wildermyth, sees procedural storytelling as stemming from tabletop board games like Dungeon and Dragons — experiences that provide rules and a structure from which a vast number of narratives can spawn. In his view, and those of more than a few others, 2006's Dwarf Fortress, a management game about dwarves seeking to colonize an austere, text-based world, is the inheritor to this particular genus of narrative design.
For newcomers, Dwarf Fortress can be intimidating. Beneath its mass of inscrutable ASCII icons lies a fiendishly complex simulation. On a basic level, its world is filled with flora, fauna, foes, and resources, plus, of course, your dwarves, all of whom have unique personalities. Your job is to ensure their happiness by building a colony that can satisfy their various needs and, thus, ensure the survival of the group. You might ace colonization itself, but then, suddenly, a gigantic monster kills half your group, which means you fail to bring in the harvest. Just like that, the colony is no more. "It sort of naturally creates these stories," says Austin over Zoom. "And because you're invested in the personalities all along, the drama happens in your head."
With Dwarf Fortress and 2016's RimWorld (which self-consciously builds on the former's legacy), Austin suggests this is the closest video games have come to the freedom of tabletop experiences — "theater of the mind," as he calls it. The designer has fond memories of such experiences, having played and dungeon-mastered Dungeons and Dragons sessions as a kid alongside his siblings Douglas Austin and Katie Austin (both are writers on the game). This narrative possibility is precisely what Austin sought to capture with Wildermyth, albeit in a more accessible style than either of those two games.
Wildermyth begins, as you might expect, with randomly generated characters. At first, they're humble homesteaders but eventually grow into battle-hardened protectors of the realm. Events happen along the way: love, rivalries, children, and death. The most remarkable aspect of the game is that neither the precise order of these events nor their exact form is preordained. Wildermyth cooks up its story on the fly, and so while narratives follow a broad structure, they never quite land the same. Crucially, these characters are yours, so you care for them in a way that would perhaps surprise even the most curmudgeonly player.
The game's magic, explains Austin, is in its "alternating layers of handcrafted and procedural content." There's the grand central narrative with a clearly defined beginning, middle, and end — procedural events that stem from the combat and personalities of your characters; then there's the comic strips (dubbed "Library of Plays") that bookend each event. Crucially, these "plays," of which there are well over 100, are written in such a way that the code is able to seamlessly incorporate your heroes into them. The game succeeds both on a momentary basis — by turns charming, funny, suspenseful — and as a larger work of fiction, ebbing and flowing like a classic fantasy epic.
Wildermyth's magic also stems from its approach to time. Campaigns typically last a century of in-game time, which means you not only see your characters age but the enemy advance ominously across the world map. Procedural RPG Unexplored 2 (currently in early access) works similarly. Every time your character dies, time and the game's foes march forwards, and in this moment, you see the game's whirring systems most clearly. "With procedural storytelling," says Joris Dormans, director of Unexplored 2, "there's the suggestion of a machine beneath the hood. You're interacting directly with that, and in a way, you're collaborating [with it] to create the story. I think that's so powerful."
Both Wildermyth and Unexplored 2 are products of what's become a cottage industry of procedural storytellers across Europe and North America. Montreal's Kitfox Games is both a developer of games like the wonderfully gloomy cult simulator, The Shrouded Isle, as well as a publisher. It's set to release a visually updated version of Dwarf Fortress on Steam, part of an ongoing collaboration between co-founder Tanya Short and Dwarf Fortress designer Tarn Adams. (The two co-edited 2019's Procedural Storytelling in Game Design — what amounts to a bible for aspiring writers and designers in the field.) Across the Atlantic, Emily Short (no relation to Kitfox's Tanya) recently joined Failbetter Games as creative director, bringing a wealth of interactive fiction experience to the studio developing the romance-murder game Mask of the Rose.
Short's CV includes both interactive fiction classics (2000's Galatea asks you to have a conversation with a sculpture), as well as tools like Versu (axed in 2014 by its proprietor, Linden Labs, the studio behind Second Life). Like Dormans, whose work in video games stems from his PhD on emergent game design at the University of Amsterdam, Short has one foot in commercial game development and another in academia. She's not alone — there's a big crossover between the two worlds because studios are reluctant to fund costly research and development when there's no guarantee of successful outcomes. Game makers often spend a few years cutting their teeth in the industry, moving into academia for research, before returning to commercial game development armed with a fresh set of narrative tools.
The major hub of this academic study is University of California, Santa Cruz, home to students and professors that cluster around its Expressive Intelligence Studio. Formed in 2006 by Michael Mateas, maker of the ambitious 2005 conversation simulator Façade, the work that emanates from the lab continually pushes the boundaries of AI and storytelling. Academics such as Max Kreminski are focusing their efforts on what they call emergent narrative, another name for the same kind of simulation-driven plots of Wildermyth and Dwarf Fortress. Over an audio call, they describe it as a "bottom-up" approach to narrative design — their job is to "find and bubble up" the interesting stories that fall out of the player's interactions.
One way Kreminski is attempting this is through what they call "story sifting," an approach that could give even greater shape, structure, and meaning to these procedural narratives. Think of it as the computer scanning (or sifting) in-game events to find interesting micro-stories — perhaps a lovers' tryst or an escalating tale of revenge. These are surfaced to the player and then woven back into the game. The greatest challenge, explains Kreminski, is not in identifying these stories (he feeds the computer examples of what to look for) but matching events that have already happened with those that are in the process of emerging. If he can do this, these stories can be stitched together in such a way that they become a cohesive whole, a kind of plot-combo that stretches both in front of, and behind, the player.
Kreminski points to a few titles that have utilized something close to story sifting in the past. 2004's The Sims 2 features "story trees," which recognize sequences of events and nudge the player towards completing them. Social simulation Prom Week (which emerged from the Expressive Intelligence Studio in 2012) features characters that look at the history of its high-school world to influence next actions.
But perhaps the most in-depth implementation of story sifting is in 2020's ongoing absurdist baseball simulator, Blaseball. Players bet on matches involving bizarre fictional teams (like the Baltimore Crabs) whose roster includes even weirder procedurally-generated characters (their traits can range from Shakespearian to anti-capitalist). The sifting happens in a few different ways, explains Cat Manning, narrative and design consultant on the game. At first, it was simply oral storytelling — players would have to see an event happen in real-time and then relay that to the community. But then, because the game spits out an eye-watering amount of data, players were having trouble keeping track — which is where the Society for Internet Blaseball Research stepped in. The fan community essentially developed a tool to let players watch replays of past games using data available on the site, what Manning calls a "backward story sifting."
Blaseball now features its own "feed" on the site that surfaces important storylines to players, but a great deal of the story sifting still happens organically in the Discord chat. While most procedural stories occur within single-player games, Blaseball is a rare example of what happens when the scope is blown up to incorporate tens of thousands of players — almost like a mass hallucination. The deluge of fan art and even music is a testament to not just the stories its spreadsheet-like simulation generates but the way we as players are able to imagine color and detail into its world, just as readers do with literature.
You might be wondering why major studios, usually so quick to incorporate such innovations into their glossy blockbusters, haven't yet jumped on procedural storytelling. The simple answer is that the variables involved become infinitely more complex and expensive at such scale. Still, there are a few exceptions: 2014's action-adventure Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor tracks your showdowns with the game's Uruk mini-bosses through its Nemesis System. In turn, the game creates rivalry-focused mini-narratives inarguably more enjoyable than the main story itself. There's also the State of Decay series, which features a cast of algorithmically generated zombie survivalists, the first a great deal more successfully than the second.
By far, the most ambitious blockbuster attempt at procedural storytelling is 2020's Watch Dogs: Legion. Its hook, the "Play As Anyone" system, lets you recruit non-playable characters to a crack squad of hacker-activists seeking to liberate a grim, dystopian London. Every single non-playable character has a unique background — occupation, hobbies, relationships, felonies, special abilities — all of which are generated by the game's "Census" system. The beauty of the game lies in assembling this squad according to your own specific preferences.
While the "Play As Anyone" system is easy to understand, its implementation was anything but, says Liz England, team lead game designer, over Zoom. She describes it as like picking up a rock only to discover there's an entire civilization attached below. Because of its procedurality, whole aspects of production had to be relearned — animation, lip-synching, in-game lighting. "There's already so many spinning plates shipping a game like Watch Dogs: Legion," says England, "and then you say to everyone, 'This tech you've been using, we're gonna throw it out. This pipeline, we need to invent it from scratch.' To make a game with a difficult concept to wrap your head around from a developer's side and then to scale that to hundreds of people across multiple studios around the world — it's very different to if you're making an indie game."
England, who recently joined a new studio headed up by State of Decay's Jeff Strain, says there are other aspects of indie procedural storytelling that big-budget games can't hope to match — at least not yet. Take medieval power simulator Crusader Kings 3, which generates text boxes with information specific to your playthrough. That becomes much harder when it's something somebody actually has to say out loud. "The whole audio pipeline is just very expensive," continues England. "It needs to be done early on because it has to be recorded with actors in other languages." On a broader level, procedurality, especially within narratives, involves a relinquishing of control over the player's experience. Making sure it's one that can meet the expectations of famously exacting video game players — well, that's tough.
As it stands, the indie world will continue to innovate, both in terms of games themselves and the tools used to create them. Emily Short, creative director of Failbetter Games, is excited about "socially and culturally democratizing" the space. "Having knowledge and tools be accessible, and having new people come in who want to experiment — this is part of the reason I write so much on my blog," she says. "Even if specific innovations that I'm working on go nowhere, at least I'm equipping other people. It feels to me like there's a huge space of unknown possibilities."
Others echo Short's sentiment. Because of the high level of technical expertise required to make these stories work, studios tend to have their own in-house software solutions. At the moment, says Tanya Short of Kitfox Games, it's a case of "everyone building their own weird engine." But she knows of one developer who's about to start looking for private funding to develop their own tool (inspired, she says, by Versu). "There's a need for it," continues Short, "because there's an emerging vocabulary set, but it's basically industry jargon. Without words to describe [procedural storytelling], it's very hard to discuss." Alongside such tools, the Kitfox co-founder predicts machine-learning will buff up the audio and visual aspects of procedural storytelling, from voice-acting to art, so you'll have "much higher production values on all indie games but especially those with procedurally-generated content."
What's clear is that procedural storytelling won't wholesale replace straightforwardly human-authored plots anytime soon. For those worried about such a possibility, Short offers a thoughtful rebuttal. "That feels like it's mistaking the pleasures of one thing for the pleasures of a different thing," she says. Instead, players will continue to enjoy the sharply focused, linear narratives of titles such as those in the Uncharted franchise while being able to play games that convey the unmistakable, thrilling sensation of co-authoring a story with a machine.
While the likes of Wildermyth are part of a long procedural storytelling tradition, the field as a whole still feels as if it's only on act one — the potential is as vast and varied as stories themselves.

If you are interested in having a career in massage therapy, then you should consider selecting a specialty. You will likely find a specific area that interests while you are a massage therapy student. Reflexology is a popular area of massage therapy. This practice involves applying pressure to the hands and feet. Reflexology is also known as zone therapy.
You can also specialize in the area of sports massage. If you are a sports massage therapist, then you will mainly work with athletes and people who engage in intense exercise. The purpose of a sports massage is to alleviate the pain and soreness that is caused by intense exercise.
Deep tissue massage is another specialty that you can choose. This massage involves applying deep pressure in order to reach the deeper layers of muscle. It is often recommended to people who suffer from severe and chronic pain. It can also alleviate tightness in the muscle.
While you are a massage therapy student, there are several things that you will need to take into consideration before you select an area to specialize in. One of those things is the amount of time that you will be in school. Some areas require more certification than others. It is also important to note that the longer you are in school, the more you will have to pay for your education.
You will also need to think about where you want to work. Do you want to work in a gym, chiropractor office or health spa? Do you want to work for yourself and start your own business? Those are some of the questions that you should ask yourself before you select a massage specialty.

Australian Government To Introduce Self-Exclusion Policies For Online Gamblers
Online wagering is the fastest-growing segment of Australia's gambling industry
Morrison government to provide a tool to help keep punters safe from excessive gambling
The National Self-Exclusion register is a crucial measure under the National Consumer Protection Framework
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is pushing for the enforcement of a register that will allow wagers to self-exclude themselves from all online gambling sites. The measure is aimed at protecting vulnerable players by diminishing the negative consequences of gambling.
The online National Self-Exclusion Register will also hide gambling ads from players and will be introduced in all states.
A gambling self-exclusion scheme is available in the UK and provides people with the opportunity to add themselves to a list and this way restrict themselves from betting online. UK residents are able to self-exclude themselves either from a separate company or from multiple venues at the same time. The scheme does not include all gaming websites yet, but is in on its way to become a fully national online self-exclusion scheme so that anyone registering to be automatically excluded from all companies once this happens.
Statistics show that over 80% of the Australian population engage in some sort of gambling activity, which is the highest gambling rate in the world. The Responsible Gaming Foundation reveals that each year since 2015, Australians' gambling expenditure amounted to more than $23 billion.
On Sunday, Families and Social Services Minister Anne Ruston said in a statement that: "As much as possible government policy should preserve Australians' ability to enjoy a punt while putting in place sensible and targeted measures to prevent and support gamblers facing significant risks of harm."
Minister Ruston said the register provides an option for individuals to voluntary exclude themselves from accessing all betting websites across state boundaries either permanently or for a period starting from three months. Rutson added that:
It is a measure that we believe will motivate gamblers to have periods where they do not gamble online at all as a way of changing their behaviour and minimising the risk they face of gambling-related harm.
It will also be forbidden for online gaming or betting service providers to directly advertise and promote to a person available on the self-exclusion register.
Upon signing up to the self-exclusion tool, all finances in a consumer's active accounts must go back to that consumer following the settlement of all bets. As a final step, the user's account must be closed.
The implementation of the register will be carried out and supervised by the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
Australia has been actively promoting measures to beat online gambling addiction in the recent years, as the country's gambling industry is undergoing major changes in the era of digital technologies. The online betting segment is the fastest-growing gambling activity, according to 2015 Review of Illegal Offshore Wagering. The establishment of a National Consumer Protection Framework (National Framework) for online wagering is one of the responses to the 2015 Review.
According to the final report of the National Consumer Protection Framework for online wagering (National Framework) baseline study, published on 24 November, "the proportion of people who placed a bet on sports, racing or other events via the internet is estimated to have almost doubled between 2012 and 2018 – from 16% to 34%."

In last week's New Yorker….
Last week's New Yorker, like all other magazines on the newsstand, devoted itself almost entirely to the manufactured media event known as "the 10th anniversary of 9/11." No one needed this whoop-de-do, and many of us seethed all week long with a barely suppressed, barely understood sense of rage about being coerced into this Orwellian ritual of remembrance of SOMETHING NOBODY HAS FORGOTTEN.
The streets were full of policemen and firemen from all over the country, who seem to have taken this day on the calendar as a national holiday commemorating those brave public servants who risk their lives every day and occasionally lose them. They deserve their honor. The families of people who died are completely justified in mourning and remembering however they see fit. I'm certain that I'm not alone, though, in feeling a deeply sinister force afoot in the energy around the 9/11 industry, a force that sacralizes the names of the people who died in the attacks that day and obsessively replays the details of the event…as if nothing of consequence has happened since then. This particular event over the weekend registered for me not as sorrow but as outrage.
You want me to remember? By all means! I remember the unnecessary wars that were launched in reaction to 9/11, the hundreds of thousands of military and civilians from many nations who have died in those ill-conceived, ill-managed wars, the obscene amount of money both spent and wasted in those wars, how the US Treasury (riding on a historic surplus at the end of Bill Clinton's presidency) got virtually emptied into the pockets of the war-profiteer friends of Dick Cheney — AND NONE OF THEM HAS BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE for any of this, least of all the one man who is personally responsible for the state this country, its raggedy-ass politics, and its economy on the brink of collapse, namely George W. Bush.
I think the smartest and most cogent article I read all week was George Packer's essay "Coming Apart," subtitled "After 9/11 transfixed America, the country's problems were left to rot." Here's a key passage:
"No one appeared more surprised on September 11th, more caught off guard, than President Bush. The look of startled fear on his face neither reflected nor inspired the quiet strength and resolve that he kept asserting as the country's response. In reaction to his own unreadiness, Bush immediately overreached for an answer. In his memoir Decision Points, Bush describes his thinking as he absorbed the news in the Presidential limousine, on Route 41 in Florida: 'The first plane could have been an accident. The second was definitely an attack. The third was a declaration fo war.' In the President's mind, 9/11 was elevated to an act of war by the number of planes. Later that day, at Offutt Air Force Base, in Nebraska, he further refined his interpretation, telling his National Security Council by videoconference, 'We are at war against terror.'
"Those were fateful words. Defining the enemy by its tactic was a strange conceptual diversion that immediately made the focus too narrow (what about the ideology behind the terror?) and too broad (were we at war with all terrorists and their supporters everywhere?). The President could have said, 'We are at war against Al Qaeda,' but he didn't. Instead, he escalated his rhetoric, in an attempt to overpower any ambiguities. Freedom was at war with fear, he told the country, and he would not rest until the final victory…His entire sense of the job came to depend on being a war President.
"What were the American people to do in this vast new war? In his address to Congress on September 20, 2001 — the speech that gave his most eloquent account of the meaning of September 11th — the President told Americans to live their lives, hug their children, uphold their values, participate in the economy, and pray for the victims. These quiet continuities were supposed to be reassuring, but instead they revealed the unreality that lay beneath his call to arms. Wasn't there anything else? Should Americans enlist in the armed forces, join the foreign service, pay more taxes, do volunteer work, study foreign languages, travel to Muslim countries? No — just go on using their credit cards…Never was the mismatch between the idea of the war and the war itself more apparent. Everything had changed, Bush announced, but not to worry — nothing would change."

Q: counting sort gives wrong results Counting sort always gives incorrect result, always with a leading 0 and missing the last number, i.e. given input 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, it would give 0, 5, 6, 7, 8.
My logic:

*

*Use C as buckets for digits 0-9

*Tally up items in source array A by C[A[i]] = C[A[i]] + 1

*Go through all buckets in C and add up all items <= current bucket to find rightful position for A[i]

*Copy items in C to output array B, remembering to decrement the bucket in C for each copying

// same code used to ask a question earlier, btw, but this is a different question
#include <iostream>
#define MAX 10

int main(void){

    int A[MAX] = {9, 3, 9, 3, 9, 3, 0, 0, 9, 3};
    int C[10];
    int B[MAX] = {0};

    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)    C[i] = 0;

    std::cout << "\nOriginal array = ";
    for (int i = 0; i < MAX; i++)   std::cout << " " << A[i] << " ";
    std::cout << "\n";

    //  increment count of buckets containing this digit accordingly
    for (int i = 0; i < MAX; i++)   C[A[i]] =  C[A[i]] + 1;

    //  count all count <= the current bucket to determine the correct index
    for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++)    C[i] = C[i] + C[i-1];

    //  copy array elements to output array B and decrement C array accordingly
    for (int i = MAX-1; i >= 0; i--){
        B[C[A[i]]] = A[i];
        C[A[i]] = C[A[i]]-1;
    }

    std::cout << "\nSorted array = ";
    for (int i = 0; i < MAX; i++)  std::cout << " " << B[i] << " ";
    std::cout << "\n";

    return 0;
}

Results are always wrong, with a leading 0 as the first element, and always missing the last element.

A: As Jarod42 says, your problem is that arrays in C start at index [0], so you are getting the index to your answer array B incorrect. Simple fix:
//  copy array elements to output array B and decrement C array accordingly
for (int i = MAX - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
//  B[C[A[i]]] = A[i];     // Wrong
    B[C[A[i]] - 1] = A[i]; // Right
    C[A[i]] = C[A[i]] - 1;
}


Refurbishment and extensive structural remodelling of an existing 7 storey building in Covent Garden including demolition of existing internal walls and slabs, temporary works to retain façades and existing chimneys and floor strengthening. A new steel frame was installed within the existing structure, adding a new roof level to create nine luxury apartments, restaurant space at ground floor and basement levels for the Ivy Cafe; the sister restaurant of The Ivy Restaurant in the West End.
The project included a new rear extension, infill of the existing lightwell at the heart of the building, infill of existing stair and lift core to create new kitchens and living areas for the apartments. New M&E was installed throughout, the formation of a new lift shaft, remodelling of the existing residential staircase cleaning and stone repairs to external façades.
