Pret a 3D is developing a new plugin for DAZ Studio 3 that will extend the rendering capabilities of Daz Studio achieving a quality never seen before, without having to use IBL lights. An experience so good you'll want to buy a bigger computer.
They make this using an external render engine, LuxRender, already often used with Blender, SoftImage, and other 3D applications by many people. LuxRender is a physically based and unbiased rendering engine. Based on state of the art algorithms, LuxRender simulates the flow of light according to physical equations, thus producing realistic images of photographic quality. It's free, GPL licensed software. Pret a 3D has made a plugin to make it work for DAZ Studio, that translates DAZ Studio shaders to this render engine.
With the new plugin you will have instant preview of materials, and will be able to do amazing things like turning any OBJ into a water effects, render scenes outside Studio, allowing you to continue work in Studio while rendering, stop and resume any render, multi-processor/hyper-threading ready, network rendering, and other features of LuxRender now available for DAZ Studio 3.
As LuxRender is unbiased rendering, expect long render times, but you can stop it when you are satisfied with the result, anyway.
Visit the software page at http://preta3d.com/ The makers have said that the pricing will be very affordable for most people. The first versions were available for purchase only for Premium Club members at DAZ. We are still expecting a public release for all members and versions of DAZ Studio.

Sigurd wind farm
Burgar Hill on Orkney Mainland was deliberately chosen as a test site for wind turbines because it is one of the windiest onshore sites in Europe!
The earliest onshore wind turbines were tested here in the early 1980s in a variety of guises. One of the earliest was built with the lower part of the tower constructed of concrete - a design which didn't survive developments in the industry.
Today, Thrive Renewables operate a single wind turbine here, alongside a selection of other discrete projects, harnessing the amazing wind resource and exporting it to the national grid for distribution to wherever it is needed. The turbine we chose for this site was a Class I turbine which is specifically designed to maximise the potential from consistently high and turbulent winds. The name "Sigurd" is that of a legendary hero from the ancient Norse stories which are renowned on the islands.

This fabric pumpkin craft Inspired by real Cinderella heirloom pumpkins. They are super easy to create and make a great accent piece for your fall decor.
Fall is a great time of year to entertain as the air gets crisp and the holidays are just around the corner. Decorating the insider of your home with pretty fall decor can be a big part of this, but it doesn't have to break the back. Creating and making your own fall decor like this fabric pumpkin craft, can be a great way to let your creativity shine and save you money.
In the past, you could only find the standard orange pumpkins to decorate your home, but now, many nurseries, farms, and even some of the big box stores sell these lovely gems. The real Cinderella pumpkin comes from a French heirloom variety called "Rouge vif D'Etampes," a dark red orange pumpkin with deep ribbing. The pretty blue-gray pumpkin is a variety called Jarrahdale, a cross between the Cinderella and Blue Hubbard gourd.
Use any round object and draw a circle around it. This one I used for the smallest pumpkin and it measured 10 inches in diameter. The middle one was 18 inches, and the largest, 24 inches.
Paint the fabric with craft paint diluted with some water. Using a sponge brush paint one side of the fabric. Allow to dry.
Cut out your circle, and sew basting or gathering stitches. Do this by threading a long piece of thread through your needle to the half way point. Gather the ends of the thread and tie a knot. Then sew up through the fabric about 1/4 of an inch from the edge. Sew nice wide stitches until you reach the other end.
Pull on the thread to gather the fabric into shape. You can pull it all the way closed or leave it a little open like the one shown above to get it a flatter shape, it will be covered if you are going to stack them. Make an knot by sewing close to the end and threading the needle through the loop.
Stuff the pumpkin with batting.
You can make a stem by cutting a long rectangle, and painting it green. Then roll it up and glue the edge. Glue the stem into the pumpkin.
Add a vine by using a piece of green wire or a pipe cleaner, and wrap it around a pencil. Glue into the pumpkin.
Stack your pumpkins on top of each other. You could secure them with glue or sew them together, but I didn't.
Add a little hay, moss or other fall material to give it an extra rustic look.
I'll probably buy some real Cinderella pumpkins this season, but it was fun to make this faux fabric pumpkin craft. So easy and affordable, with a little drop cloth fabric, batting and paint.
They'll last a whole lot longer too.
These are adorable DIY project!
These are absolutely adorable!!!! I am ready for all things pumpkiny and fall.
I love these! They are as cute as a button and what a great color combination!

Sir Isaac Newton (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27) was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author (described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time, and a key figure in the scientific revolution. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), first published in 1687, laid the foundations of classical mechanics. Newton also made seminal contributions to optics, and shares credit with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for developing the infinitesimal calculus.

Nephrotic syndrome diet – Diet guidelines for nephritis patients.
Nephritis, also known as acute nephrotic syndrome, refers to inflammation of one or both kidneys. It can be caused by infection, but it's most commonly caused by autoimmune disorders that affect the major organs.
For example, those with lupus are at a much higher risk for developing nephritis. In rare cases, nephritis can be genetically inherited, though it may not be present in childhood.
Nephritis is a serious medical condition which is the ninth highest cause of human death. As the kidney inflame, they begin to excrete needed protein from the body into the urine stream. This condition is called proteinuria. Loss of necessary protein due to nephritis can result in several life-threatening symptoms. Most dangerous in cases of nephritis is the loss of protein that keeps blood from clotting. This can result in blood clots causing a sudden stroke.
Nephritis causes additional problems like water retention, as the kidneys cannot function properly to rid the body of water. Water retention or oedema can further cause swelling of the feet, ankles, legs, and hands. This secondary symptom is usually treated with diuretics like Lasix(R), generic name furosemide, which can help to reduce oedema and pain associated with swelling.
Primarily, nephritis tends to be treated with antibiotics and also occasionally with steroids, particularly in those cases thought to be caused by lupus. Nephritis is incurable when associated with lupus, but it can go into remission. Roughly half the cases associated with lupus, and with the inherited form of nephritis go into remission.
In rapidly progressive disease, loss of appetite, vomiting, abdominal pain and joint pain may occur.
Chronic nephritis may go unnoticed for years until symptoms of kidney failure appear: itchy skin, tiredness, nausea and vomiting, shortness of breath.
The causes of nephritis (or acute nephrotic syndrome as the collection of symptoms is sometimes called), tend to be different in adults and children.
One of the commonest, especially in children, is after infection with the streptococcus bacteria, which leads to an immune reaction that damages the filtering units of the kidney known as the glomeruli. This condition is called post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.
Other causes seen more frequently in children than adults include Henoch-Schonlein purpura (an inflammation of the blood vessels is caused by an abnormal immune response) and haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (an abnormal immune reaction which triggers including gastrointestinal infection).
In adults, diseases that frequently underlie nephritis include vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels), pneumonia, abscesses, infections such as measles, mumps or glandular fever, hepatitis, and a range of different immune disorders that cause types of glomerulonephritis.
In more serious, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, about half of people remember having had a flu-like illness in the month before symptoms start.
While these healthy diet tips help get you better, it doesn't stop the need to see your doctor or healthcare provider.

Q: How can i compare an array with sql query in c# code? How can I compare an array with a SQL query in C#?
I have tried below code to resolve my problem but it was not worked.
In the below code data is the name of array which holds some types of data.
DataTable dt = context.getData("Select * from emp_detail where EState = any(" +data+ ")", CommandType.Text);

A: You can serialize the data array into a properly formatted string and change select command to something like that:
Select * from emp_detail where EState in ('a', 'b', ...)

This solution is only suitable for arrays with few items.

A: I think you could do this to get a list of strings to compare with:
using System.Linq;

namespace ExampleNamespase
{
    public class SimpleClass
    {
        private class TypeExample
        {
            public string Property { get; }
        }

        private void CompareData(TypeExample[] exampleArray)
        {
            var items = string.Join(", ", exampleArray.Select(t => t.Property));
            var sql = $"Select * from emp_detail where EState in ({items}) ";
        }
    }
}

Or so if you are using a simple list of strings:
private void CompareData(string[] exampleArray)
{
    var items = string.Join(", ", exampleArray);
    var sql = $"Select * from emp_detail where EState in ({items}) ";
}

To prevent injections, use the Dapper library:
using System.Data;
using Dapper;

namespace ExampleNamespase
{
    public class SimpleClass
    {
        private void CompareData(string[] exampleArray, IDbConnection connection)
        {
            var sql = "Select * from emp_detail where EState in @items ";

            var result = connection.Query<YourTypeClass>(sql, new { items = exampleArray });
        }
    }
}

Explanation:
The first example uses the Linq library to retrieve the properties of an object using the Select method, and the string.Join method to concatenate the resulting list into a comma-separated string.
The second example demonstrates the same approach, only with an array of strings, the same string.Join method is used to join.
In the third example, the Dapper library is used to execute the request, I believe that this method should be preferred, since helps to avoid SQL injection, and also simplifies the work with the database. To execute a query, we can pass a list of objects with which we want to compare values in the database, and Dapper will be able to handle this itself. We just need to define variables with the @ symbol in the request, and pass the object for processing, which will have attributes with the same names.
P.S. I apologize for my English))
Upd:
Try this:
private void CampareData(string[] exampleArray, IDbConnection connection)
{
    var clearItems = exampleArray.Select(s => $"'{s}'").ToArray();

    var sql = "Select * from emp_detail where EState in @items ";

    var result = connection.Query<YourTypeClass>(sql, new { items = clearItems });
}

In this variant, we will wrap each item in quotes that are used by sql, and the query should contain something like: ... in ('item1', 'item2' ...)

In many houses there is furniture that we do not know how to decorate or we want to buy a new piece of furniture but we do not know what design or style to choose. In this article we will focus on modern interiors and how to decorate mirror bedside table to increase the style and elegance of the interior. We will also see the different places where you can place and combine the colors with the rest of the interior decoration.
One of the easiest solutions when choosing a piece of furniture is to opt for a more original design. In this way you will save part of the work with the decoration because the design of the furniture will fulfill part of the work and the decoration of the mirror bedside table will not be so complicated.
However, you can add some elements or decorative figures to not leave work halfway. On the other hand, if you do not know how to decorate a more elongated mirror bedside table you can put on it a lamp with an original design. The wall can also be used as a surface that helps decoration for dressers especially if you put a mirror or a very modern picture.

Laurel Park cancels mid-card Friday
Laurel Park's eight-race Friday card came to an end after just three races Feb. 4. The card was canceled midway through "due to the weather conditions," the track said.
Persistent rains have fallen in central Maryland yesterday and today, with nearly a half-inch of precipitation recorded so far today.
The view isn't all that good for Saturday, either. While the rain is expected to stop by mid-afternoon, the currently mild temperature is expected to plummet below freezing overnight, bringing new challenges to the track crew.
The three races contested Friday were on a track rated sloppy and sealed. Times were quite slow.
Friday's national weekly Stronach 5 wager, which was to kick off with Laurel's eighth-race finale followed by races from Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita and Golden Gate, was also canceled. It will return next Friday, Feb. 11.
If racing does take place Saturday at Laurel, post time is scheduled for 12:25.

Entertainment industries are among the largest in the world. The legal environment in which entertainment operates involves a confluence of eclectic laws such as those concerning free expression and its limits, those concerning intellectual property and their relationship with promoting, limiting and capitalising creativity, and the laws governing the contractual relationships between parties involved in entertainment productions.
In this book, the authors analyse the major legal issues confronting those involved in entertainment in Australia, and provide clear, accessible statements of the current legal principles involved. They enable readers to understand what the law is and how it is likely to apply in particular situations.
The book uses an accessible, reader-friendly style making it suitable for those involved in entertainment industries, legal practitioners and students of entertainment law.
6. Copyright: A Double-edged Sword for Creativity?
In the ever-changing world of entertainment, an easy to read book is a worthy exercise. No upcoming artist, manager or performer can afford to be ignorant of the major issues that will arise in their careers. This is a series of helpful essays on selected issues that may affect those involved in entertainment in Australia. Topics include freedom of expression, defamation, obscenity and hate speech, confidentiality and privacy, the commercialisation of IP entertainment, contract law and the role of agents and managers.
Written in a reader friendly style by various authors, it will be of interest to performers and industry players alike. The chapter on bigotry and hate speech and its relevance to the entertainment business is helpful as the author guides the reader through laws that are varied and "uneven" between states and the Commonwealth. Also, the chapter on copyright emphasises a theme that has emerged in recent times whereby copyright law is seen as a protector and stimulator of creative endeavour and also a potential disincentive force on creators.
the best advice to anyone entering the entertainment business - "obtaining independent legal advice remains the first line of defence against many of the abuses and conflicts that can and do arise".
This book covers a range of topics about entertainment law, beginning at the basics the Australian legal system. It is aimed at those working in the entertainment industry who may not have a legal background.
free expression, and the right to free expression as protected internationally by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and domestically by common law, noting that Australia does not have the same level of protection as the United States, who have a constitutional guarantee of free expression.
This book then addresses some of the main intersects between the legal system and the entertainment industry - defamation, laws against vilification (including hate speech), obscenity and the role of censorship laws, confidentiality and privacy, copyright and commercialisation of IP, negligence, contracts and the agency relationship of agents and managers. From a legal sense, the book looks at the basic elements of each of these areas of the law, but provides interesting commentary about the application of the law in the entertainment industry.

Viverito and Mendez at 2014 Loisaida Fest.
City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and local Council member Rosie Mendez are teaming up this afternoon for an event called "Follow Me Friday" on 2nd Avenue. The small business crawl is an expression of support for the small operators impacted by the explosion and fire that rocked the East Village in March.
While the East Village explosion was a tragedy that rocked the East Village, it merely compounds the devastation of real estate speculation that has handicapped the East Village local business community. You don't need Speaker Mark-Viverito spending a few dollars in your neighborhood. You need Speaker Mark-Viverito to truly support you by supporting the Small Business Jobs Survival Act (SBJSA)… When you see Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito in your neighborhood today ask her: Why did she sponsor the SBJSA as a Council Member, but not as Speaker? Will she support your rights now in the lease renewal process by supporting the SBJSA? Speaker Mark-Viverito will be joined by your Council Member Rosie Mendez who is a supporter and sponsor of the SBJSA so be sure to let her know how much you appreciate her standing up for your rights. The hallmark of political leadership is how one deals with a crisis, and Council Member Rosie Mendez has risen to this challenge. The time has come for Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito to do the same and show leadership by supporting the SBJSA.
As previously reported, community activists from #SaveNYC, another advocacy organization, and other groups have criticized Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer for proposing alternative legislation. Brewer's bill would trigger mediation between landlords and tenants but would not require mandatory arbitration.
City Council members need to do a better job to advocate for ALL small business in every neighborhood.

At its origin, the introduction of Butoh in Japan was widely controversial. The first homoerotic butoh performance, Kinjiki (Forbidden Colors) created by Tatsumi Hijikata in 1959, caused controversy amongst its spectators. This year, Queer Butoh returns during Pride month as a video series featuring LGBT/Q butoh dancers from Singapore, South Africa and Italy.

VHS Documentation: Mika Orotea
With introduction by the artist (60 minutes)
XUE is a surrogate for artist Sher Chew — an eponymous conductor of clandestine realities, activated through live performance informed by the art of butoh. XUE is interested in aesthetic production as intervention, cultivating an impressionistic style of world building as a form of critical resistance. XUE's worlds are post-lingual spaces which often involve silent or disarticulate bodies routinely subject to invisible restrictions. By designing rigorous systems that provoke exhaustion, XUE is committed to unscripting the socialized body; allowing radical physical vocabularies to emerge through the body as it cedes to a state of surrender.

Vangeline (curator) is a teacher, dancer, and choreographer specializing in the Japanese postwar avant-garde movement form Butoh. She is the artistic director of the Vangeline Theater (New York), a dance company firmly rooted in the tradition of Japanese Butoh while carrying it into the 21st century, and the founder of the New York Butoh Institute. Vangeline is a 2018 NYFA/ NYSCA Artist Fellow in Choreography. She is also the winner of the 2015 Gibney Dance's Beth Silverman-Yam Social Action Award and is the author of the critically acclaimed book Butoh: Cradling Empty Space (2020). www.vangeline.com
VANGELINE THEATER/ NEW YORK BUTOH INSTITUTE aims to preserve the legacy and integrity of Japanese Butoh while carrying the art form well into the future. The unique art of Butoh originated in post-World War II Japan as a reaction to the loss of identity caused by the westernization of Japanese culture, as well as a realization that ancient Japanese performing traditions no longer spoke to a contemporary audience. The Vangeline Theater is home to the New York Butoh Institute, dedicated to the advancement of Butoh in the 21st century.

A slam dunk for Shanghai
February 13, 2010, Saturday | Print Edition
AS a native Shanghainese, the city's successful World Expo bid and the coming exhibition of civilizations across the world have filled me with pride. It is a great honor for me, as an image ambassador for World Expo 2010 Shanghai China, to contribute to the success of this magnificent event and to witness the convergence of progress in my motherland with development across the world.
I still remember how I was amazed by my first visit to a World Expo. That was Expo Aichi in Japan. The Chinese red of the China Pavilion was dazzling, and I also remember being awed by the super-sized display screen and a Russian exhibit of the remains of a mammoth frozen in death for 18,000 years. That visit was really an eye-opener for me.
As a sportsman, I cannot help but compare the Olympic Games and World Expos. The former is an athletic event that mostly attracts sports fans, while the latter looks rather like a large recreational exposition.
At a World Expo, participating countries exhibit their own advanced technologies and innovations. Every visitor, no matter whether his tastes run to astronomy, archeology, modern science, technology or almost any other subject, will find something of interest and have some fun along the way.
The World Expo showcases the progress of human societies, the development of science and technology, and the evolution of cities. It also encourages people to yearn for a better future.
My motherland has celebrated her 60th birthday, and Shanghai, which was once just a small fishing village, has come to be hailed as "Paris in the Orient."
During the development of Pudong, advanced technologies and concepts from overseas came pouring in. People from different cultures across the globe have come to live here, integrating with one another and creating a unique charm. I hope many more people will take the opportunity to visit World Expo and enjoy all the wonders the city has to offer.
The World Expo 2010 has selected "Better City, Better Life" as its theme. Indeed, cities are important symbols of modern civilizations as well as centers of development.
The rapid evolution of the Internet and information technologies has penetrated international barriers. As a result, no city can achieve its development without integrating outside cultures, science and technologies.
The diversity of our countries and cities is rich. As a regular resident of both Shanghai and Houston, I have deeply felt the integration of Eastern and Western cultures and come to appreciate the importance of intercity relations in the process of urban development.
Going from Shanghai to Houston, from China to the United States and from the East to the West, I am very proud to be part of this integration.
Seeing the nonstop progress resulting from such integration, I am always filled with pride and excitement for Shanghai's development. At the same time, however, I sometimes feel a little lost and sad when I return to Shanghai because I can no longer smell the snacks peddled at the roadside stands of my childhood or feel the bustling warmth of life in a residential lane.
Sometimes, I can't even tell the difference between living in Shanghai and in the United States. People of my generation, born in the 1980s, have only fleeting memories of the Shanghai culture and lifestyle of the past. That is perhaps the price of progress.
Besides Shanghai, many areas across the globe cherish their beautiful natural resources and their distinctive cultures. These areas draw visitors from all over the world, who bring with them different languages, cultures and ways of thinking.
While integration of cultures is part of modern development, it is regrettable if we don't try to preserve some of what we cherish from the past.
For every city, its native culture is its soul and human roots. Urban development should not be promoted at the cost of destroying indigenous culture and damaging natural resources.
Only by preserving these elements during the process of integration can a city retain its charm, its distinctiveness, its diversity and its vigor.
This delicate balancing act requires an open mind and careful thought. I hope these issues will become important in the process of modern-day development. I hope our children can live on a planet that has retained its human spirit and cultural roots - a place where they can cherish a common dream.
It is my belief that World Expo 2010 Shanghai China will draw global cultures to the city's shores as never before. This confluence will provide another impetus to urban development and give urban dwellers inspiration for a better tomorrow.
I hope this World Expo will be a great success. I am looking forward to this great exposition of human achievement, common understanding and united determination to make the cities of the future places we cherish in tandem with nature.

Gravity | Effects | Programming The Drones | A Trip To The Supermarket | Verdict
The last Imageworks game acclaimed for its originality was Interphase - not just a generic re-hash with a thin veneer of novelty but a fully-fledged forerunner of a totally new breed of game. Mirrorsoft's Gravity is in the same spearheading category, a strategy/action space game incorporating into its gameplay new theories about black holes and space travel.
The game is set in the year 2320, after space travel experimentation has discovered the ultimate way to move. It's been discovered that if an object is dropped into a black hole, it continues in a straight line at infinite velocity until it reaches a second black hole, where it emerges with zero time elapsed.
This theory has allowed humanity to venture into Outer Space and colonise planets. Unfortunately, conflict developed when one of the populated planets was turned into a black hole by an Outie (a coloniser) looking for a quick short-cut through space.
Your role in the game is to continue the process of terraforming and colonising space and to find and harass the Outies whenever you can.
Gravity is played on a scrolling isometric space grid. The grid delineates the spatial dimensions and the field of gravitational forces. All the planets and black holes are represented by detailed sprites which affect the grid. Newton makes a guest appearance because spacecraft react to the gravitational influence of the planets and black holes in accordance with the laws of Newtonian mechanics.
You equip your spacecraft to take on this challenge, remembering that different missions and different situations require different types of equipment. Some of the equipment can be purchased in Outer Space but the majority are best obtained by returning to your colony. Since you'll need to return home to receive fresh orders, it's sensible to wait until then.
The game can be played in two ways; either with you controlling the strategy element, deciding where to do and what to do, or with the colony controlling it. If you take command, you give missions and destinations to up to eight spacecraft, taking personal control of one of them. There are five missions which can be given:
1. Exploration A trip to a particular system to discover if it's occupied by Outies and to see the size and type of planet.
2. Terraforming Making a planet ready for possible occupation.
3. Military Action Either chasing and destroying Outie craft in the Outie occupied system, or removing the Outie presence altogether by converting a black hole back into a sun.
4. Colony Protection Protecting a convoy of people as they colonise a planet and set up its defence systems.
5. Route Construction Generating a black hole to establish a new route in space.
It's important to colonise as many planets as possible because colonised planets are key places in the system. They enable you to restock supplies and communicate with other craft. Although you may lose your colonies to the Outies, you must not lose your main base, known as Starcom.
Once you've generated a colony somewhere, it continues to develop without your interference. The longer it survives, the more useful it becomes to you. All the planets have a technology (or Tech) level which increases with time and enables you to purchase more and more stock to re-equip your spacecraft without returning home. It's only back at Starcom, though, that you'll be able to purchase the full range of equipment.
Using drones is the easiest way to confuse and destroy Outie craft. Drones are equipped with eight of their own special program, but you can also prorgam them yourself. This makes it possible to send them into space, patrolling designated territory, and use their lasers or nova guns to hassle the Outies and prevent their imperialist encroachment.
A simple programming language needs to be understood before you can fully utilise the drones. This language consists of icons employed in a flow diagram. The drone follows the instructions and responds to the Outies with the programmed results. One of the standard programs found in the game runs as follows:
label1: if no Outies are detected then hold station goto label1 else attack until Outies destroyed goto label1
As you can see from the diagram, the drone patrols its area until it detects an Outie presence. In this event, it launches an attack which can have only two possible outcomes; either the destruction of the Outies or the destruction of the drone.
Gravity is intended to be played initially as a strategy/arcade game with the computer handling yuor missions. As you become more adept at manipulating the controls though, you can take over the process of giving out orders and start to develop your own strategy, dispatching your own forays off into the Milky Way.
Your spacecraft can be moved using the mouse or joystick - but the keyboard gives the finest control.
The electrifying strategic nature of Gravity means that it's gameplay which matters here and not graphics. Consequently, you don't switch on your machine and expect to be assaulted by great visuals. But this is exactly what happens.
Original games are often renowned for having something special in their graphics. Those elements in both Virus and Interphase which made it so exciting stemmed from the graphics. The same happens here, due largely to the grid. This gives a perfect impression of the gravitational field with lines which carefully weave their way around planets and into black holes and still hurtle along when the going gets tough.
Besides the grid, there are rousing static sprites of the planets and an animated view of your own spaceship. These again give some prodigiously realistic views to the point that you even find yourself picking out familiar planets. In no time, you'll be screeching: "Wasn't that Saturn we just passed?" and waving affectionately.
The visuals are the work of graphic artist, Pete Lyon. He's responsible for drawing sprites and designing the front screen containing all the icons. Sound effects are as polished as the graphics but there's little more than warning tones and the occasional blast.
Programming The Drones
If the drones are used efficiently they can provide enormous amounts of useful information, as well as ridding the solar system of alien presence.
The drones come equipped with several standard programs, such as free-fly and Interdict. Theese programs are available to be edited but the real power of the drones can only be exploited once you try programming them yourself.
To program a drone, drag icons from the bottom of the screen, into the programming window. Various connectors appear, allowing you to link the icons together. The most important icons are the Orbit and Approach commands. These instruct the drone to find a certain area and stay there. Using the IF icon, you can make the drone respond to a given situation.
A Trip To The Supermarket
As you progress, you can start buying add-ons like the black globe. Once you put the globe on you're unable to change direction - but that's a very small price to pay for invincibility!
If you're visiting colonised planets supplies should be available, but certain items will not be in store until the colony has had time to fully develop and achieve a high enough tech level. Fortunately, all the items are also on sale back at Starcom. It's usually easier to go home and buy things unless you've let the enemy through to your own colony.
It takes a while to get to grips with Gravity but it's well worth the effort. The moment you start understanding how it works, you get involved in the action to the point that you daren't blink for fear of losing sight of the Outies. Thankfully, an easily digestible manual means you don't spend hours suffering at their hands before you come up with a winning formula.
Originality is now high on the list of the big 16-bit boys, so we may be seeing the end of routine and unimaginative imitations and the birth of a new market for programmers with ideas. Gravity is just the beginning.
Knight Force
Resolution 101
Power Drift
Dr. Doom's Revenge
This is a complex game, and it takes a while to get to grips with. It's well worth the effort though... and we may well be seeing the birth of a new market for programmers with ideas.

No nation can be really great unless it is great in peace, in industry, integrity, honesty. Skilled intelligence in civic affairs and industrial enterprises alike; the special ability of the artist, the man of letters, the man of science, and the man of business; the rigid determination to wrong no man, and to stand for righteousness—all these are necessary in a great nation.
Address (2 Jun 1897) at U.S. Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island. In 'Washington's Forgotten Maxim', United States Naval Institute Proceedings (1897), 23, 450.
The most ominous conflict of our time is the difference of opinion, of outlook, between men of letters, historians, philosophers, the so-called humanists, on the one side and scientists on the other. The gap cannot but increase because of the intolerance of both and the fact that science is growing by leaps and bounds.

Towelhead (review)
by MaryAnn Johanson
Wed Jan 07 2009, 03:32pm | 17 comments
Shock Power
There was a bit of an uproar back in the fall of 2008 when the Toronto Film Festival hit Nothing Is Private got its theatrical release, for its title had been changed after its festival appearance. It was now called Towelhead, which is kinda like calling a movie Nigger… or it would be, if more Americans understood that towelhead is considered derogatory among Arab-Americans, people who are mistaken for Arab by the kind of ignorant bigots who would call someone towelhead (such as Sikhs, who are Indian), and anyone who decries ignorance and bigotry no matter what their ethnicity, religion, or skin color is.
Oh, are you shocked by my use of the word nigger? Then you understand how some people felt about the title of this film. And, indeed, the only extras on the new Region 1 DVD release of the movie are two roundtable discussions that include, in various combinations, writer-director Alan Ball, Arab-American novelist Alicia Erian (upon whose book the film is based [Amazon U.S.] [Amazon U.K.]), star Summer Bishil (an American of Arabic and Mexican descent), star Peter Macdissi (of Lebanese origin)… and Hussam Ayloush from the Council on American-Islamic Relations and Rajdeep Singh Jolly, legal director of Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund, both of whom object to the title. The conversation is civiled and respectful, even when someone drops a wowser, like Jolly's "the title of this movie is a marketing ploy," and it's wildly intriguing.
You see, I'm not sure that the provocation of the title isn't warranted. There's never an excuse for bigotry and namecalling, and certainly those who would use the term towelhead are doing so in an attempt to be insulting, mean-spirited, and contemptuous. But I'm not sure if those who wouldn't use the term but don't realize quite how offensive it is don't benefit from the kind of discussion we see on the DVD here. and the kind of discussion the film itself raises. If a title that sounds even only vaguely bad or shocking to people gets them to watch Towelhead, then that's a good thing.
Then again, no one has ever called me towelhead.
This needs to be seen because it is an astonishing movie in lots of ways. Sure, it does deal with the casual racism and bigotry that 13-year-old Jasira Maroun (Bishil) encounters in her daily life as an Arab-American teenager in suburban Texas at the time of Gulf War I. Some of it is truly appalling, as when it comes from a black boy whom you'd think would know how hurtful and pointless it is, and some of it is appalling for the thoughtlessness and willful ignorance it represents, as when people mispronounce her name without even bothering to ask her to help them out, without even realizing they're being rude about it.
But even more astonishing is that Towelhead is that extreme rarity of American film: a movie that is about a teenage girl's fumblings through the confusions of early adolescence, about figuring out what sex is all about, discovering some of the amazing things her own body can do, and simply finding a way to break free of the overarching influence of her parents and learn who she is herself. We're so used to seeing movies that deal in so many different ways — dramatically, comedically, and downright grossout-ly — with boys' bodies and the embarrassing things that happen to them in adolescence, but can you recall a single other movie that deals with a girl's getting her first period? This is something that happens to half the human race, and can be momentarily traumatic and as publicly embarrassing as an unexpected erection is for a teenage boy… and the only other movie that I can even think of that touches on this rite of passage is Carrie, a horror movie about a girl with demonic powers. Hardly reality-based.
Oh, I don't want to scare off all those squeamish boys who can't deal with such reality. The period stuff is but a tiny part of Jasira's tale, which encompasses refuting the bigotry of her father (Macdissi) toward, well, almost anyone who isn't almost exactly like him; navigating her first boyfriend (Eugene Jones) and a variety of sexual firsts (first orgasm, first intercourse), and coping with an attraction toward her handsome neighbor (Aaron Eckhart: The Dark Knight, No Reservations) — which is dealt with in a smart, wise way that understands that a 13-year-old girl is still a child even as she is beginning to explore her sexuality, and is not appropriate fodder for even handsome neighbor men she might flirt with, no matter how "sexy" and "grownup" she seems.
But boys who are smart, boys who like girls and want girls to like them would do well to study Towelhead for its peek into the "mysteries" of girls' lives that Hollywood feels the need to keep secret (this is not a studio film, needless to say). As Bishil herself says in one of those roundtable discussions, the genuinely shocking thing about Towelhead is that "it's about a young girl acknowledging her own participation in her existence, and going forward with that knowledge… it's not about a towelhead, it's not about an Arab-American, it's not about a 13-year-old girl, it's about a human being."

15 Best Things to Do in Blue Island (IL)
In the early 20th century this city in the Chicago Southland was the foremost commercial and residential center in the south of Cook County.
Nowadays, Blue Island, little more than 15 minutes from downtown Chicago, is a diverse and attractive community endowed with lots of beautiful architecture dating back a century or more.
You can shop locally in the downtown area, which has plenty of independent small businesses, from restaurants and bars to one-of-a-kind stores.
In the 21st century, Blue Island is connected to neighboring Chicago Southland communities by the 26-mile Cal-Sag Trail, along the historic shipping canal that runs through the center of the city.

Blue Island Opera House
Blue Island's commercial core resonates with some 150 years of history. Along Western Avenue, and its old section on the south side of the Cal-Sag Channel, there's an inviting array of locally owned businesses.
These range from Chicago-style eateries to a craft brewery, antiques center, bakeries, florist, pizzerias, taquerias and a choice of bars.
At the dawn of automobile travel, Western Avenue was part of the Dixie Highway, an early highway network that linked Chicago with Miami.
If you're intrigued by the history of Blue Island you can download a list of 74 local landmarks from the city website and set off on a self-guided tour of these handsome old residential and commercial properties.
2. Memorial Park (Blue Island Park District)

Sledding Hill
The Blue Island Park District's premier park is a short way northwest of downtown and has an entrance commanded by a LTV A-7 Corsair II light attack aircraft.
Bounded by leafy residential streets, Memorial Park has a pool (more later), a splash pad, children's playground, picnic shelter, skate park, two baseball diamonds and a football field.
There's a network of neat, paved paths down the park's east side, which is particularly pretty in fall when the leaves change color.
In winter Memorial Park is still a popular family day out for its sledding hill and toboggan slide.
3. Cal-Sag Trail

Cal-Sag Trail
When we put this list together, Blue Island was in the process of being connected to a walking and biking trail, stretching through the Chicago Southland, from Lemont, Illinois to the Chicago Lakefront and Indiana border.
With new sections opening every few months, the Cal-Sag Trail will eventually add up to 26 miles, hugging the banks of the Cal-Sag Channel.
A lengthy completed stretch cuts through Blue Island, crossing the channel at Division Street and running through downtown along Vermont Street.
At Lemont the trail merges with another long-distance route, on the Illinois and Michigan Canal Trail.
4. Blue Island Beer Company

On the historic Old Western Avenue, south of downtown Blue Island, there's a thriving craft brewery with 12 different beers on tap.
Reviving a long brewing tradition in the city, Blue Island Beer Company has a foundation in the classic beer styles and uses that knowledge to branch out with surprising new creations.
At the time of writing, the taproom was pouring a Pilsner, a Hazy IPA, an American IPA, a pre-Prohibition-style Amber Ale, an Imperial Milk Stout and a German-style Kölsch Ale, to list a small handful.
You can fill growlers, or buy cans or bottles to go. Food-wise, Blue Island Beer Company has a delivery agreement with the nearby bar & grill, Natural Law, or you can bring something from one of Blue Island's many great food spots.
5. The Park at York & Western

Right in downtown Blue Island you'll find a cute little pocket park with benches, picnic tables and a gazebo.
Close to the popular T & G Gyros, as well as Iversen's Bakery and De Mar's Coffee Shop, this is a handy place to have a picnic in the summer.
On Mondays, mid-June through September, the Park at York & Western is also the setting for Blue Island's farmers' market, selling farm-fresh seasonal produce from the region.
On the Western Avenue side of the park there's an information board explaining the interesting history of the Dixie Highway.
6. St. Donatus Feast & Carnival
Source: mRGB / shutterstock
An annual tradition for more than 110 years, the Church of St. Donatus hosts a lively five-day festival every August, celebrating the feast of the namesake saint.
This is one of the last great church fests in the Chicago area, and is particularly well-known for its excellent food.
There's Italian beef and sausage, fried dough, wings, clams, delicious pizza, Italian ice and Mexican bites.
Usually, there's a procession on the Sunday, as well as carnival rides, games, bingo and a packed lineup of live music across all five days.
7. Three Sisters Antique Mall

Antique Market
One of the most imposing structures downtown is the Woolworth Building, which dates to 1918 during Blue Island's heyday and has Spanish Revival-style mouldings on its frieze.
There was a Woolworth's on the first floor until 1993, while the second floor was occupied by the Blue Island Elks, as well as Blue Island Specialty Company (est. 1898), a world-renowned dental equipment manufacturer.
Today the building is home to a cavernous, multi-dealer antiques mall, regarded as the best of its kind in the Chicago Southland.
This is the kind of place where you can lose track of time browsing furniture, vintage toys, books, clothing, collectibles and all kinds of decorative arts.
8. Whistler Woods Forest Preserve

Whistler Woods Forest Preserve, Major Taylor Trail
On the south bank of the Little Calumet River, directly east of Blue Island is a beautiful patch of woodland growing mature oaks that are up to 300 years old.
There are two picnic groves at Whistler Woods Forest Preserve, and you'll have plenty of opportunities for birding at this riverside habitat.
You can also get onto the Major Taylor Tail here, which is a 7.6-mile multi-use rail trail, named for Marshall Walter "Major" Taylor (1878-1932) the record-breaking African American pro cyclist.
This path cuts through the cityscape on Chicago's southwest side, as far as Dan Ryan Woods.
9. Eagle's Bowling Lanes

Another grand building downtown continues to be the lodge for the Blue Island chapter of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, founded in 1906.
Inside is an intimate and welcoming bowling alley for a cozy game with friends. As an antidote to enormous and faceless alleys, there are just six lanes here, accompanied by a bar area for grownups.
Prices for games, drinks and bites (pizza, popcorn and more) are very reasonable, and on weekend evenings the alley stays open late.
10. Hart Park

This park in the north of Blue Island is dominated by one of the most popular baseball/softball stadiums in the Chicago Southland, hosting men's and women's league games and tournaments, as well as programs like the White Sox Amateur City Elite.
Established by the City of Blue Island, the stadium dates back to 1939 and was purchased by the Blue Island Park District in 1963 and named after a mayor.
There's a concession stand here, as well as a children's playlot and a concrete recreation area. In winter this is the site for the Blue Island Ice Rink.
11. The Meadows Golf Club
Source: Mikael Damkier / shutterstock
On Blue Island's northwest shoulder is a vast green area that continues for miles, occupied by parks, cemeteries and sports facilities like this public golf course.
Opened in 1994, the Meadows Golf Club is an 18-hole par 71, measuring 6,549 from the tips. On gently undulating terrain, the course has a slope rating of 121, and is a great introduction to the sport if you're a newcomer.
Rates are also reasonable, especially for the Chicago area, at under $40 when we wrote this article. There's a driving range at the course if you need to get some practice in before your round.
12. T & G Gyros
Source: Dario Racane / shutterstock
If you're craving Chicago-style comfort food you won't have to search long, as there's a cherished independent spot downtown on South Western Avenue.
T & G Gyros has been in business for decades, making regional favorites like gyros of course, but also Italian beef, Polish sausage, combos and hot dogs.
But maybe the most famous specialty here is the Big Baby double cheeseburger, customized exactly how you want it.
Also on the menu you've got rib-eye steak, fish sandwiches, spicy wings, salads, lemonade, malts and shakes.
13. In the Game, Hollywood Park
Source: iChzigo / shutterstock
Close by at the Rivercrest Shopping Center is a classic family entertainment center, packing a slew of indoor and outdoor attractions onto one site.
Newly remodeled, In the Game offers go-karts, mini golf, mini bowling, indoor bumper cars, an arcade, a ropes course for wee ones, a Typhoon motion simulator, virtual reality games, a children's roller coaster and a giant slider.
The restaurant at In the Game serves only certified Animal Welfare Approved products, free of antibiotics and hormones, and there's a pouring craft beers and fancy cocktails.
14. Memorial Park Pool
Source: Roman Samborskyi / shutterstock
A fine, not to mention inexpensive, way to beat the heat in summer is this public outdoor aquatic center at Memorial Park.
The large, curving pool here has three distinct areas, for wading/leisure, lap swimming and for diving at the deep end.
This is a no-frills place to swim, and when we put this list together the park district had recently announced some upcoming improvements.
The pool is open throughout the summer, from 12 pm to 5 pm, and then from 6 pm to 8:30 pm. Parents here with children can rent a sun lounger for a small fee.
15. Centennial Park
Source: Blue Island Park District / Facebook
Dating back to 1936, this park in the east of Blue Island is roughly parallel to I-57, though you wouldn't know the highway is there as it sits behind a buffer of residential buildings and trees.
Centennial Park is a spot for active recreation, home to no fewer than four baseball/softball diamonds.
This is a great place to bring children, with a large, fenced playground on the southwest corner, close to a picnic shelter, and all in the shade of some tall old trees.
There's a walking path winding through the park that has been repaved in the last couple of years.

Q: Exporting subgraph (sideeffect) to json file and importing back in graph I want to export subgraph to json file and import in other graph. I tried as follows:
gremlin> subGraph = g.V().has("name","john").outE("has").subgraph("subgraph").cap("subgraph").next()
==>tinkergraph[vertices:6 edges:5]

now i have sub graph object then i used graphson to write this subgraph object directly to json file as follows:
subGraph.io(GraphSONIo.build()).writeGraph("/tmp/subgraph.json")

But i am getting error like this:
(was java.lang.IllegalStateException) (through reference chain: com.thinkaurelius.titan.graphdb.relations.RelationIdentifier["inVertexId"])

what is problem ??

A: I think the problem is that you have a TinkerGraph as your subgraph but that subgraph contains a Titan identifiers which GraphSON doesn't know how to natively process. You need to provide the Titan serializers to GraphSON so that it knows how to deal with the RelationIdentifier. You don't say what version of Titan you are using, but I think this approach works regardless of the version:
mapper = GraphSONMapper.build().
                        addCustomModule(TitanGraphSONModule.getInstance()).
                        create()
writer = GraphSONWriter.build().mapper(mapper).create()
os = new FileOutputStream("/tmp/subgraph.json")
writer.writeGraph(os, subgraph)

The more modern approach for JanusGraph would be:
sg.io('/tmp/sample.json').
     by(IO.registry, org.janusgraph.graphdb.tinkerpop.io.graphson.JanusGraphSONModuleV2d0.getInstance()).
   write().iterate()

Areola signs contract extension with PSG until 2023

PARIS, Dec 20 (Reuters) - Goalkeeper Alphonse Areola has signed a contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain that will keep him in the French capital until 2023, the French club said on Thursday.
The 25-year-old France international has found his first team appearances limited this season by the arrival of veteran Italian Gianluigi Buffon but he has committed himself to the Ligue 1 leaders rather than look elsewhere.
"It was very important for me to continue my career and my progress here at Paris Saint-Germain," Areola told the club's website. "This club is not just where I've trained, it's in my heart."
Areola, who enjoyed brief spells at Lens, Bastia and Villareal in Spain, has won two Ligue 1 titles (2013, 2018), two French Cups (2017, 2018), two League Cups (2017, 2018) and two Trophees des champions (2016, 2017) with PSG. (Reporting by Andrew Downie; editing by Martyn Herman)


a snow day and no snow?
what a strange day it has been. last night we got the call that school was canceled. the forecast for georgia was only 1-3 inches. as a girl who grew up in pittsburgh, the insanity of canceling school was once again puzzling to me. no valentine's day parties for the munchkins and no work to be accomplished by me!
we woke up in the morning and guess what - no snow. 10 o'clock came and no snow. 12:00 came and no snow. eventually at 2:15 (5 minutes before school would have let out) it started to snow. and it hasn't stopped, it really is coming down in sheets. my mind is already making a check list of the hibernating we will do tonight as a family while the outside world is turning white. movie, fire and popcorn - perfect. my absolute favorite thing about the snow is how bright the world looks in the middle of the night. the quite calm of my glowing front yard is what i am looking forward to the most.
ugly and yet somehow pretty?


Mississauga is undergoing its own renaissance, following four decades of leadership by Hazel McCallion, and for those watching City Hall closely 2016 will be a pivotal year for the giant suburb's future growth, they say.
There is a feeling of newness in Mississauga that's hard to miss and Mayor Bonnie Crombie's bold moves on a number of key issues have many buzzing about what's to come in 2016.
Walmark says Crombie's election pledge to finally bring Mississauga's transit system in line with other similar sized cities would help establish its identity as a true urban centre, not just a satellite of Toronto.
Crombie was preoccupied for most of 2015, first with her push to land the fully provincially funded Hurontario LRT and then plans to prepare for its upcoming construction. But Walmark and others hope 2016 sees major movement on her promise to bring more rapid transit service to other parts of Mississauga, currently underserved by the city's bus network.
However, higher-order transit plans will have to compete with other key issues on the city's agenda for 2016, including the historic redevelopment of Mississauga's eastern waterfront, around the old Lakeview power station, where 26 hectares of wetlands and beachfront will be restored after decades of industrial use. Adjacent plans for a transformative $3-billion mixed-use waterfront community with 8,000 midrise units will be part of the city's ambitious lakefront development initiatives.
For Sharon Douglas, the new year also brings hope for a newfound focus on social services in Mississauga, building on Crombie's and veteran Councillor Carolyn Parrish's efforts to fix the city's affordable housing crisis, which they put front-and-centre on the agenda in 2015.
Douglas is well positioned to make such an observation. She's a "stakeholder" on the city's new diversity and inclusion advisory committee and United Way Peel's director of community investment. A key issue for her in 2016 is the continued effort to mend strained relationships between Peel police and the black community.
For David Wojcik, the Mississauga Board of Trade's new president and CEO, 2016 also holds great promise for the city's continued shift away from its identity as a suburb of Toronto.
"We have 73 Fortune 500 companies that have a presence in Mississauga. And now we're working with the mayor's office on her new innovation and entrepreneurship task force" to make Mississauga an even bigger destination for investment and entrepreneurship," he said.
Wojcik says his organization and city hall are looking forward to working on major economic development in 2016, particularly because the new federal minister of innovation, science and economic development, Navdeep Bains, is from Mississauga.
