Honda confirms own team
THE HONDA MOTOR COMPANY has confirmed that it is going to return to Formula 1 racing with its own team. Last week the company president Nobuhiko Kawamoto confirmed that "a feasibility study" has begun. Our spies tell us that plans are rather more advanced than Kawamoto has suggested and that the team will be ready to go racing in 1999.
Honda has always wanted to win with its own team, chassis and engine but the first attempt to do this in 1964 was not a success. Kawamoto was himself one of the design team at the time and so F1 is unfinished business to him. The first attempt began in 1962 when Honda bought a Cooper chassis in which to fit a V12 engine but this project never got off the ground. Honda then asked Lotus to build a chassis but Lotus was forced to pull out at the last minute and Honda was left to build its own car, the RA271 which raced four times in 1964 without success.
The company won its first race in Japan the following year with the RA272 but at the end of that year the Grand Prix formula was changed and Honda had to start from scratch again. In 1966 and 1967 the company struggled with the RA273 chassis and gradually accepted that it must have European input in the project, establishing a British base and using a new RA300, which was built by Lola around the monocoque of its Indianapolis car. This was nicknamed the "Hondola" and took John Surtees to victory in Italy in 1967. The chassis was developed in 1968 with British designer Len Terry helping out while the Japanese built the remarkable RA302 chassis in Tokyo. This featured an air-cooled V8 engine and a magnesium alloy chassis. This crashed on its debut at Rouen and the driver Jo Schlesser was killed. At the end of the year Honda decided not continue in F1.
Honda returned to F1 as an engine supplier between 1983 and 1992, winning 69 races with Williams, Lotus and McLaren but the ambition to create an all Japanese car remains.
Many in F1 feel that it is not practical to try to build F1 cars in Japan, without the involvement of specialist British composite engineers. Currently we have heard of no British engineers involved in the project although our sources suggest that the company will establish a British headquarters, somewhere near London's Heathrow Airport, and will run operations from there, although the chassis will be built at the Honda Research and Development headquarters in Wako, near Tokyo.

Following tip-offs, police on Saturday arrested three Thai men transporting more than 12 million methamphetamine pills and 100 kilogrammes of crystal methamphetamine out of the northern province Chiang Rai, deputy national police chief, Chalermkiat Srivorakan, told reporters.
On Sunday, another 10 million methamphetamine pills were seized in Chiang Rai after smugglers left them behind while fleeing police, Mr Chalermkiat said.
In April 29, million dollars' worth of drugs including 1.7 million methamphetamine pills were seized in a week-long series of raids across the country.
Most methamphetamine smuggled into Thailand comes from Myanmar through the "Golden Triangle,'' a shared border area between Thailand, Laos and Myanmar, which is notorious for drug smuggling.

Q: Saving pdf file in internal storage with hide mode I have requirement to save the pdf file to internal storage and the file should be hidden. It should not display to the user.
I have successfully saved my .pdf file in internal storage. But, I wanna to know that is it possible to save file by hiding it or in hidden mode ?
If yes, How ? I have already google out about this but, couldn't got any solution for such..thanks.

A: If you are saving the pdf to Internal Storage, then it's only accessible by your app (which means pdf viewers can't view it). This essentially hides the file. Is this what you mean?

A: You can use . as prefix of file to hide it with most browser but it is not real invisible (in Linux, I can ctrl+H to see hidden files like this).
I think you can follow this link to make file app-private.

A: For storing file as hidden in the internal storage you need to create a folder with "." prefix.This will make the folder hidden and doesnot show up in gallery or while scanning files.
File newdir = yourContext.getFilesDir() (".YourFolder", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    if (!newdir.exists()) {
      newdir.mkdirs();
    }

File mediaStorageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), ".YourFolder");
    if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) {
     mediaStorageDir.mkdirs();
    }

To design a Phase II trial of a new drug or treatment, the existing probability of success (survival or cure) (p0) is defined, and the improved proportion of success with the new treatment being studied (pn) is also defined.
Although the table provides for 3 levels of power and probability of Type I Error (α), in most cases, a power of 0.8 and α of 0.05 is used to calculate the sample size.
The sample size is then used for the trial. At the end of data collection, if the proportion of success reaches or exceeds pn, then the treatment is deemed worthy of further study, and usually subjected to Phase III trials. If the proportion of success is less than pn, then the new treatment is considered not worth further study, and usually abandoned.
We are treating the advanced stage of a particularly aggressive type of cancer, and after the current standard surgery and radiotherapy, only 20% (p0=0.2) of the patients survive 12 or more months. We are offered to trial a newly developed chemotherapy, and we decided that a formal large scale Phase III trial would be worth while if the Phase II trial find the 12 months survival rate is doubled (pn = 0.4).
We use the statistical parameters α=0.05, power=0.8, p0=0.2, pn=0.4, and determined that the sample size is 29 cases.
We administered the additional chemotherapy to 29 patients that fits the description, and 14 (0.48 or 48%) survived at the end of 12 months. As we define success as survival for more than 12 months, We concluded that the results are sufficiently encouraging for a formal phase III trial to be conducted.
Had the 12 month survival rate be less than 12 out of our 29 cases (<0.4 or 40%), then we would have abandoned this new treatment and concluded that further study of it is unlikely to be productive.

1889 United Kingdom local elections
Resulting party control by county council.
Elections to the municipal and county councils of England and Wales were held in 1889. Elections to the various county councils were held in January 1889. Progressive candidates won a majority on London County Council, although at this point party labels were relatively unimportant, with municipal and county politics in Victorian Britain being somewhat detached from national politics, and national political divisions.[1] Liberal candidates would do particularly well in Wales however, winning clear majorities in 11 of Wales' 13 counties.[2] The Liberals only failed to take Brecknockshire and Radnorshire, which had hung councils.[2] In the English counties the Liberals took only Cumberland, Holland, London, and the West Riding, with most councils being run on an apolitical basis.
The elections were the first following the Local Government Act 1888, which had established county councils and county borough councils in England and Wales. Prior to the act there had been no elected body at the county level, with counties being governed by justices of the peace in Quarter Sessions.[3]
A similar act - the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889 - would later establish county councils in Scotland. Irish local governance would remain unreformed until 1898, and the passing of the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.

Home Free College Football Picks 2013 Oklahoma Oklahoma State CFB Pick
Oklahoma Oklahoma State CFB Pick
This is it for the Big 12. If Oklahoma State can come out on top, the Conference is theirs for the taking along with a BCS bowl. Easier said than done, but after dismantling the only two teams tied with them in the Conference the last two Games (Texas and Baylor), they are favorites. Big favorites indeed, as the Cowboys are -9.5 at home over the Sooners. at 5 Dimes Sportsbook with a total of 58.
The 5dimes.com betting trends show 68% of the early action has come in on the Cowboys.
The last time the spread was this big between these teams was back in 2008 when Oklahoma was regularly the top team in the country. Times have changed as these teams have fought over the last three years. Oklahoma came out on top 51-48 last year at home, but lost in 2011 at Oklahoma State in a 44-10 blowout.
The Cowboys have been extremely impressive lately, easily beating Texas 38-13 and Baylor 49-17 in their last two Games. Those Games make it even harder to understand exactly how they lost to West Virginia 30-21 earlier in the year. The Mountaineers only have two Conference wins on the year.
Quarterback Clint Chelf has been vital in those two Games, completing close to 75 percent of his passes. against Baylor, it almost came easy as Chelf went 19-for-25 for 370 yards and three touchdowns. against Texas, Chelf used his legs and rushed for 95 yards and two TDs. This may not be the high-flying offense from a couple years back, but they can still score. The passing Game hasn't been great throughout the year, which was the concern coming down the stretch, but Chelf has come up big. Running backs Desmond Roland and Jeremy Smith don't have eye-popping numbers, but when given the ball they can move the chains.
It'll be interesting to see how the Oklahoma defense deals with the Cowboys. The last time the Sooners held them to fewer than 41 points was back in 2009. against better offenses, OU has struggled, allowing 41 points to Baylor, 36 to Texas, 30 to Texas Tech and 31 to Kansas State.
In their two losses, the Sooners had trouble on the offensive end and couldn't keep up. It still hasn't been decided who will start at QB as Blake Bell is coming off a concussion and missed the K State Game. It's likely Bell will return, but if not, Trevor Knight would get the start. That's not good news, as Knight has not played well this year despite being the starter out of the gates. Bell isn't amazing either completing 60 percent of his passes for 11 TDs and five INTs, but that's better than Knight. The running Game will be prevalent due to the QB problems. Brennan Clay went for 200 yards and two TDs against Kansas State, although fellow RB Damien Williams was dismissed from the team before that Game. Both Bell and Knight can rush, but Knight is a bit shiftier and averages 7.1 yards per carry.
Oklahoma State's defense has really stepped up its Game and will cause problems for this Oklahoma offense, no matter who's at quarterback. Stopping Texas and Baylor in back-to-back weeks says it all.
Oklahoma can still clinch a share of the Big 12 title with a win, but will need its offense to pick it up if that's going to happen.
The Sooners are 1-5 ATS in their last six Games on field turf and 2-6 ATS in their last eight Games following an ATS win. The Cowboys have covered in six straight Games overall and are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 home Games. The Cowboys have covered in two straight Games in this series, but the Sooners covered in six straight prior to that.
Oklahoma State has thebetter team, they are at home, they have the revenge motive in their favor after last years 51-48 loss and Our model predicts them to win by 2 TD's or more. Oklahoma State -10

Sony RX100 III in Review. The Best Performing Compact Is Back with a Vengeance
This is a review produced jointly with our friends over at clubulfoto.com
Sony has released the third version of the already famous RX100, the advanced compact camera. With the one digit increment in its unglamorous name – in style with its predecessor -, the Sony RX100 III comes with a number of important improvements. It's a sign that Sony listened to criticisms made to the previous generation and improved the product in essential areas. For instance, the lens is now offering an equivalent focal length of 24mm at the wide end, is brighter (has f/2.8 at the 70mm end), and includes an optical ND filter (3x). But by far the most exciting improvement is brought by the new popup electronic viewfinder. Also, the Sony RX100 III includes the Bionz X image processor, the same as on the Sony A7, and boasts the ability to continuously take shots at up to 10 frames per second in full resolution. With that in mind, the new RX100 M3 has all the chances to become our favorite premium compact camera, being more than just an update to the previous generation. Let us see it in action!
As of this writing, Sony RX100 III can be found in stores at a suggested retail price of approximately $798. Check out the current price and more hands-on reviews

Sony RX100 III vs. RX100 II
The major improvements brought about by the new RX100 III over the RX100 II are the following:
the inclusion of the (pop-up) electronic viewfinder
24-70mm lens which is also brighter at f/1.8-2.8 (instead of 28-100mm at f/1.8-4.9 on the RX100 II)
integration of a 3x ND filter
the Bionz X processor
the LCD screen now folds vertically (used for self-portraits)
Build and handling
At first glance, the exterior of the Sony RX100 III is quite a lot like that of the previous generation. However, a keen eye will notice the lack of the external flash hotshoe. A strange decision by Sony? Not really! The hotshoe has been excluded from the new RX100 III in order to make room for the integrated flash. Okay, okay, you say, but the previous model also had an integrated Flash! Correct, but there's something new: the RX100 III now includes an electronic viewfinder that's "hidden" from view. It can be popped up with a button located on the left side of the case and looks like in the image below when open:
So, Sony dropped the external flash hotshoe, which was pretty cumbersome to use with a camera so compact anyway, and has introduced the pop-up electronic viewfinder. It's small, so, how well does one see through it? Actually, this viewfinder is built very smartly: it's got an optical system in front of the integrated mini-LCD screen that makes the viewed image large and sharp, and the dioptric adjustment dial (yes, it's got one) will definitely help those who wear glasses. To sum up: the electronic viewfinder has good image, has no discernible lag, and the high resolution will allow to even try to focus manually, if you want to play with this feature of RX100 III (for this the camera has a built-in focus assist system called Peaking Focus).
Here's a shot through the viewfinder of the Sony RX100 III showing the information displayed:
Through the viewfinder of Sony RX100 III
Apart from that, the Sony RX100 III does not differ very much at the outside from the RX100 II. The tilting LCD screen can turn to display self-portraits (selfie lovers will be happy about this feature!), and although the buttons are rather small (proportional to the small size of the camera, we might add), they press easily and comfortably, without trouble even for large-handed folks.
The Tilting LCD screen, in position for self-portraits (selfies):
In addition, there's a ring around the lens that can be used to set different parameters of the exposure. It can be programmed to perform any of the following functions: control the aperture, exposure time, ISO sensitivity or zoom. It's very useful for quick access to the above mentioned parameters, but also to contribute to the "professional" feel of the camera, with a usage similar to that of DSLR or mirrorless cameras. At this point, if we mentioned the "pro" feel, let's not forget the aluminum-cast body of the Sony RX100 III, which adds to the overall impression of strength and robustness of this mighty little camera.
The access lid to the card and battery is located in the familiar spot, at the bottom right corner of the camera. Also located there is the tripod mount (masked by the battery cover in the image below).

The Menus
The menu of the Sony RX100 III is similar to that of the cameras in the Sony Alpha line. Which is good, because it includes a lot of features that other compact cameras (and sometimes mirrorless or even DSLRs) can only dream of. Here are some of the functions that particularly caught my attention in the Sony RX100 3 menu:
Peaking Focus and Zebra – to assist in manual focusing
Wi-Fi – sending of photos to a smartphone or tablet is now done very easily, thanks to the integrated Wireless connection of the Sony RX100 M3 and to the simple configuration options in the menu. The 'Play Memories' application, available for free for Android and iOS, allows quick access to images from the camera, directly from your mobile (including Remote Shooting). In addition, it is possible in the future that Sony develops applications that can be downloaded and installed directly onto the camera.
Soft Skin Effect – for smoother-skinned portraits 🙂 This is a whole routine dedicated to automatic correction of wrinkles, spots etc.
Auto Object Framing – photograph a person, and the camera will automatically select the most 'suitable' framing for that particular shooting situation (at least according to Sony algorithms).
Auto HDR – HDR images (multi-frame) can be taken automatically thanks to the function that you'll find in the main menu (we get into examples, just below)
Panoramic images (180 or 360°), vertical or horizontal.
A lot of scenes and effects: two Auto modes (standard and Intelligent Auto for night shots) and over 16 scene presets for various situations, such as photographing inside, at a party, of fireworks, or sports images.
Live special effects: over 8 artistic filters are available in the menu, and the result can be previewed live before triggering. We mention just a few effects: Miniature, Pop Color, Selective Desaturation (on red, blue, yellow or green), Toy Camera, etc. Many of these effects can be customized with the help of sliders on the screen. Some examples of images taken with the effects available in the menu of RX100 III are below.
Images with the Sony RX100 III Menu:
Image quality, ISO, and the autofocus system
We find that image quality has been improved significantly over the RX100 II, especially at high ISO values, although the RX100 II was holding well already in this respect. The AF system has been essentially improved, especially in order to keep pace with the fast subject tracking demanded by the 10x continuous shooting feature. Focusing speed is not the fastest we've seen, but is large enough for a compact, and the precision of focus is very good – in all of our tests, the RX100 III did not miss focus in any frame.
Shutter delay is almost imperceptible, an aspect that we appreciated since the first generation RX100.
The integrated colormeter manages to automatically set the optimum color temperature, even in the evening or at night, when different light sources are in the same frame.
The exposure measuring system works better, the tendency to overexpose found in the previous generations being now corrected.
The large number of scene presets and night modes will allow novice photographers to get good shots, at least from a technical point of view. Artistic filters (monochrome, sepia, old photo, toy camera, vivid etc) are complemented by a few very useful shooting modes, such as the function to record panoramic images or the possibility to capture multi-frame HDR images, without resorting to photo processing software on a computer.
The HDR and D-Range Optimizer
Two very useful and very important functions that the RX100 III boasts are the D-Range Optimizer and the Auto HDR. The first of these, activated by default, automatically optimizes the level of detail in images with a high contrast, so the photos are in balance. The D-Range Optimizer can be user-adjusted to increase or decrease the effect. On the other hand, the RX100 III can generate HDR frames directly on-camera, taking three consecutive images with different exposures, which are overlapped in a single final frame. This function also allows for adjustment of the HDR exposure range (from +/- 1EV up to 5EV). Here's an example of the two functions that we just mentioned.

Night photography with the Sony RX100 III
As already mentioned, the Sony RX100 M3 comes with a new, brighter lens, (with f/2.8 at 70 mm instead of f/4.5 in the previous generation), which gives it a real advantage when taking night photos. In addition, the BSI CMOS sensor is doing excellent at high ISO values, so we almost no longer have to worry about image noise when capturing frames in low-light (also a sign that the BIONZ X image processor, taken from the Sony A7, does its job with flying colors!). Here are some examples that speak for themselves:
ISO 2500 CROP 100%:
Panoramic photos
Sony was the first to include the automatic panorama function on their photo cameras. Neither does Sony RX100 III make an exception, since it can shoot normal and extended panoramic images (with 180 or 360° coverage angle, on the vertical or horizontal), as can be seen in the following examples:
Filters and special effects
Sony RX100 III, includes a small "artist", if you will, that can help free your imagination shooting with filters such as Black and White Poster, Water Color, Selective Desaturation (on red, green, blue, or yellow), Illustration, Soft Key, Miniature, or Retro Photo and HDR Painting. Here are some examples for almost all of these filters:

Wi-Fi and NFC
Shots taken with the RX100 III can be transferred wirelessly to a smartphone or tablet with both Android or iOS, thanks to the built-in Wi-Fi connection and the Play Memories application available for free in the Apple Store/Google Play. Setting up the Wi-Fi connection is done automatically if you have a smartphone or a tablet compatible with the NFC standard, which makes transferring easy and fast. At the same time, Sony RX100 III can be controlled from a distance (remote shooting), via Wi-Fi, with the same application.
How good is the RX100 III's video recording?
The Sony RX100 M3 records Full HD 50/25p video at 30MB/s with stereo sound, image stabilizing and active zoom during filming. Here are some examples, recorded in Full HD 1080 50p:
Autonomy, file formats, storage, and connectivity
Autonomy: Sony RX100 III is powered by a NP-BX1 Lithium-Ion battery which, in practice, gives the camera an autonomy of approximately 200 frames (that's how it performed in our tests, despite Sony's specifications indicating 350 frames to a single battery charge)
File Formats: photos are saved in JPEG format (with two levels of compression: Fine and Normal), RAW, or simultaneous RAW + JPEG. Video clips are recorded at a maximum resolution of 1980×1080 (60, 50, 30, 24 fps) with Stereo sound, in MPEG-4 (H.264 compression) or AVCHD format. Files are stored on cards of any of the types: SD/SDHC/SDXC, Duo/Pro Duo/Pro-HG Duo Memory Stick.
Connectivity: the camera has a USB 2.0 connector and a HDMI one. It's got no IR sensor for a remote control, nor a connector for a wired remote control.
Wireless: the RX100 III has integrated WiFi and NFC, free Sony Play Memories app, allowing transfer of photos and remote shooting.
Photo storage: SD/SDHC/SDXC cards of 64GB max. We recommend cards of Class 6 or better if you want to use the video function of the camera, or for short waiting times in the continuous shooting mode.
Weight and size: The camera weighs 290 grams (with battery and card) and has the following dimensions: 101.6 x 58.1 x 41.0mm
In the box of the Sony RX100 III we find the user manual together with the warranty certificate, a shoulder strap, battery and charger, and a USB cable.
As of this writing, Sony RX100 III can be found in stores at a suggested retail price of approximately $798. Check out the current price and more hands-on reviews here.
Improved in essential areas, the Sony RX100 III strengthens its top of the range position in the premium compact camera category. The great surprise of the new model is, of course, the integrated electronic viewfinder, which offers a good image, and proves its usefulness in certain situations. Instead Sony did away with the hotshoe for external flash, something that we don't think will enrage many photographers, keeping in mind that the new RX100 III belongs to the compact category, and is one of the smallest in its class. The camera holds the flag up with an outstanding image quality, including at high ISO values, and a lens that sports a pretty short focal range (24-70 mm, equivalent to approx. 3x zoom), but which comes with acclaimed optics and very good brightness. Because of that, the RX100 III will shine in any conditions. The new Sony compact is, definitely, a camera that we can recommend without reservations.

In recent decades, medical anthropologists have been searching for evidence of feedback loops between cultural variation, population dynamics, health, and genetics in the controversial field of Darwinian medicine. The theory of evolution itself, and the role of cultural factors in adaptive change, is being re-examined. For example, co-evolution, "a theory of evolution by cultural selection" (Durham, 1991, p. 38), is believed to parallel organic, molecular evolution.
An example illustrating links between cultural variation and evolution is the unusual degree of diversity in Tibetan marriage systems, including polygyny, polyandry, polygynandry, and monogamy. This variation, in Durham's view (1991, pp. 59-70), is a solution to female and male infertility. It allows an infertile couple to bring an additional wife, husband, or p'horjag ("extra man") to the household so that heirs could be produced.
It also allows considerable economic flexibility, a benefit in a high altitude ecosystem with low and seasonal productivity of scarce arable lands (Durham, 1991, p. 71). Parenthetically, similar flexibility in household structures and marriage forms were found traditionally in Arctic peoples for many of the same reasons.
Co-evolution theory does not imply that variation in marriage forms is genetically programmed. Rather, behavioral diversity parallels genetic diversity, and both lead to optimal flexibility in environmental uncertainty. The enhanced fertility of households contributes to reproductive success, while the marriage systems themselves are preserved due to their "replicative success" in achieving benefits to the household and the community (Durham, 1991, p. 78).

Cannabis Use in the NFL – Will Policies Change?
Cannabis	Aug 6, 2019 Denver, CO
By: Rachel Gillette, Partner and Chair of the Cannabis Law Practice
The National Football League (NFL) preseason is upon us, and though the players may have changed, the league's strict cannabis policies have not. That stands to change, though, with the renegotiation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement – a labor agreement between the NFL team owners and the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) – which expires after the 2020 season.
According to a report from NBC Sports, "the NFL is prepared to make major concessions regarding the substance-abuse policy, especially as it relates to marijuana." Currently, players are subject to suspension if they consecutively fail two urine tests and test positive for THC. After the first positive test, they are entered in the NFL's Stage Two intervention program, which means increased testing for up to 24 months. Reportedly, the NFL has been "lenient in the application of the rules that apply after a reinstatement following a suspension for at least one year" in the cases of Josh Gordon, Martavis Bryant and Randy Gregory. Each tested positive for marijuana – and in some cases, other drugs – to the point of suspension. Gordon and Bryant have applied for reinstatement for the 2019 season, and Gregory has "every intention of filing his petition," according to Rotoworld.com.
In a 2016 survey of 226 of the NFL's nearly 3,000 players on active rosters or practice squads, ESPN found that 61 percent believed that players would take fewer injections of strong anti-inflammatory drugs such as Toradol if they could treat pain legally with marijuana. In May of this year, the NFL and NFLPA announced their intention to study the use of cannabis as a pain management tool for players, as well as on mental health and wellness. Allen Sills, the league's chief medical officer told the Washington Post, "I think it's a proud day for the NFL and the NFLPA to come together on these issues in a very public way. I think it demonstrates the spirit of cooperation we have around our health and safety issues."
Of course, there are many scenarios to think through when it comes to approving cannabis use for NFL players, the biggest one being that marijuana is still considered a Schedule 1 drug by the federal government. Analysts are concerned that creating a state-by-state policy of acceptance would give unfair advantage to teams in legal states, as free agents could give preference to those teams. So while the marijuana ban won't go away overnight, players, coaches, medical advisors and even fans are becoming more outspoken in support of cannabis for professional athletes.
Here are a few former NFL players who are now candid advocates for marijuana:
Tiki Barber – Co-founder and Chief Business Development Officer of Grove Management Group, a company focused on launching and building the most innovative businesses in the cannabis industry.
Eugene Monroe – Diversity Consultant, Green Thumb Industries. Monroe was the first active NFL player to openly advocate for the use of cannabinoids to treat chronic pain and sports-related injuries, and it cost him his contract with the Baltimore Ravens. Green Thumb is on a mission to provide safe, effective and therapeutic medical cannabis nationwide by operating world class cultivation facilities and customer-first retail experiences.
Ricky Williams – Founder, Real Wellness (RW). Williams had a history of suspensions from the NFL for marijuana, and retired in 2011. He's now trained in ancient Indian medicine, yoga, massage and other healing specialties, and RW is a thoughtfully curated line of cannabidiol (CBD) and herbal-infused products developed for the sophisticated, health-conscious consumer.
We will continue to monitor the NFL's and other professional sports' policies on cannabis use. Please sign up for blog updates to stay informed!

Haze as almost everybody now knows is a first person shooter from Free Radical Design (The makers of TimeSplitters on PS2), and was released this month (May) to luke warm reviews from a lot of the gaming press. The reason for this is unknown as i actually found Haze quite fun, although perhaps it is because the market is slowly becoming saturated with first person shooters and everybody is growing tired of the genre.
The game centres around a multinational company with bio-expertise known as Mantel Global Industries, which has developed a substance known as Nova-Keto-Thyrazine, a.k.a Nectar, which is apparently an enhancer which enables your everyday soldier to become smarter and fight harder than they ever could without this drug. The game is set over a three day period as the Mantel corporation fights against rebels known as 'The Promise Hand'. The player takes on the role of Shane Carpenter, a 25 year old Mantel soldier who after witnessing the effect Nectar has on all of the other soldiers, he decides to turn into a rogue and to take on the Mntel corporation.
In the game soldiers use a substance known as Nectar as previously mentioned, which is a drug that enhances the performance of the user such as their speed, strength and accuracy. Nectar also allows the user to see enemy soldiers as an orange colour against a grey background which helps greatly in fierce gun fights with lots of things going on around you.
Haze has lots of weapons at its disposal too as you would expect in this type of game such as the typical pistol, assault rifle. shotgun. sniper rifle and a flamethrower, while not forgetting grenades and knives.
The multi player experience is enjoyable and quite entertaining with options such as a four player split screen co-op mode, which is good for people who especially do not have Internet access, and for those that do there is a 16 player online battle mode, which pits players on opposite teams against each other.
The graphics in Haze are a mixed bag in my opinion as they have their good points and their bad points. Although when first playing through the game i initially thought that it looked quite last gen in terms of visuals. The textures seem muddy and blocky and some of the special effects such as water seem like they were lifted straight from a PS2 game, which is heightened by the sheer quality that we are all used to such as the water in Bioshock and Uncharted.
The lighting in certain areas is great though and there are some really good looking set pieces to some of the levels. All of the time the game manages to keep a consistent frame rate throughout, so no matter what you may get up to, everything keeps running smoothly, as you would expect from the PS3.
The game is in my opinion average overall and should be given a look in if you want something to tide you over until Metal Gear is released this June. Although not entirely bad, i cannot stop feeling that the game is missing a certain something that i can not quite put my finger on, and so hence the average mark that we have awarded this game.

The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) this week (18 Nov) signed a capital markets agreement with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) to support African companies seeking dual listings in London and Lagos. It follows implementation earlier in 2014 of a new settlement process between the UK and Nigeria which significantly boosts the efficiency of listing and trading of ordinary shares of Nigerian companies listed in London and those of UK companies on the Nigerian market.
A top LSEG executive said it shows the global investment community is rushing to be part of the Nigerian story.
The agreement was signed by Oscar Onyema, CEO of the NSE, and Nikhil Rathi, Head of International Development, LSEG. Also present was Sir Roger Gifford, Country Head for the European Bank SEB, former Lord Mayor of London, and Co-Chairman of the UK Government's Nigeria Emerging Capital Markets Task Force and Nigerian co-chair Aigboje Aig-Imoukhede, President of NSE.
Gifford said, according to the press release: "This is exactly the sort of ambitious project the ECMT Nigeria was launched to support. Nigeria is without doubt one of the most promising opportunities for capital markets development worldwide.
Mot of the previous dual-listings have listed on London's AIM market although the milestone April dual-listing of Seplat (see below) saw Seplat head for the main market.
The 9 Nigerian or Nigeria-focussed companies quoted on LSE have a collective market capitalisation of $14.2bn and include 6 oil & gas explorers and 3 major Nigerian banks.
Indigenous oil company Seplat was the first to make use of the linkages in April, when it raised $500 million in an Initial Public Offer (IPO) on both exchanges. Euromoney reported it was the first dual-listing and largest IPO from southern Africa since Dangote Cement in 2010. The London end was advised by BNP Paribas, Standard Bank, Citi and RBC Capital Markets, the Nigerian listing by Renaissance Securities and Stanbic IBTC.
The IPO added N28 billion ($161m) to the NSE market capitalization. The bourse aims to reach N1 trillion ($5.7 billion) by 2016 with oil and gas firms a key target.
UK Chancellor George Osborne announced the Emerging Capital Markets Taskforce on 9 April. It aims to unlock new opportunities for the UK financial services sector by helping to open and deepen capital markets in emerging economies through innovative collaboration between Government and private sector. This is part of the strategic public-private sector Financial Services Trade and Investment Board (FSTIB) launched in 2013 and chaired by HM Treasury. More details can be found via the FTSIB website.
"East Africa is the most promising regional bloc. [It] has registered between 5 and 6% growth annually for the past decade. We estimate that regional gross domestic product will expand 18-fold by the middle of the century, from $185bn in 2010 to $3.5trn by 2050. This era is comparable to the period immediately after independence." This is an intriguing article just published by The Africa Report, quoting Gabriel Negatu, regional director of the African Development Bank.
The article, by Parselelo Kantai in Nairobi and Juba, additional reporting by Patrick Smith in Addis Ababa, talks of the four leaders that dominate the East African "chessboard". Here are a few sample quotes: "At international gatherings such as the African Union summit in Addis Ababa, the four gravitate towards each other: Ethiopia's Hailemariam Desalegn, Kenya's Uhuru Kenyatta, Rwanda's Paul Kagame and Uganda's Yoweri Museveni.
"Differing in age and political experience, they argue about many details but there is a critical point of consensus. If East Africa is to grasp the economic opportunities now available, there must be a determined effort to integrate its markets and economies, even if that means making concessions and compromises in the short term.
"All four run interventionist foreign policies – Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda sent troops into Somalia, while Rwandan and Ugandan troops have been both invited to and expelled from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
"They all favour a statist hand on the economic tiller, but they are all building up business classes on whose political loyalty they can rely. All have supported Kenyatta in his attempts to avoid prosecution at the International Criminal Court.
The article also gives insights on Uganda's $8bn oil infrastructure deal of 5 February that will help reshape the region and its economies and 2 giant railway projects due for completion by 2020. It highlights the need for jobs and services to keep up with growth, and China's giant role in reshaping the region.
"For governments tempted to ignore the new underclass, South Sudan serves as a cautionary tale. An abiding weakness of governments in East Africa is their ethnocentrism: their tendency to favour crassly their ethnic support bases in the allocation of public sector jobs, appointments, commercial opportunities and government tenders.
"South Sudan's crisis may have been exacerbated by its weak institutions, but the best illustration of this was the government's failure to rein in cronyism, corruption and ethnic rivalries in the state sector.
The article speaks of the determination not to be proxies for foreign powers in any conflict and says the South Sudan crisis could give an opportunity to rebuild a state more suited to local realities.
