Massive No Man's Sky: Beyond Update Is Now Live With Free VR Support
The wait is finally over: Hello Games just officially released the Beyond Update for No Man's Sky which includes a massively overhauled multiplayer infrastructure, tons of new features and game mechanics, a multiplayer "Nexus" hub, and, most importantly, complete VR support.
The update is now live for both PS4 and PC.
If you've got the game on PS4 or PC already then Beyond, just like all previous overhaul updates, is entirely free to download. Luckily, it's not half-hearted VR integration either. Instead, they've redesigned how you interact with the world and allowed players to carry over their entire save file or even play online with other players (VR or otherwise) in the same universe.
For those hungry for more details while the update downloads, make sure and check out our full breakdown of everything we know so far as well as our latest hands-on preview of the VR update and a long, detailed interview with Hello Games head, Sean Murray, about the past, present, and future of both VR and No Man's Sky itself.
If that's not enough for you, engage in some of our discussion topics, such as whether or not No Man's Sky is the most important VR game launch so far and what you plan on doing first once the VR update is on your hard drive, ready to go.
Finally, if you don't own the game already and are eager to jump in and start exploring, then you're in luck because No Man's Sky is currently discounted across both PS4 and PC for 50% off. You can pick it up off of the Humble Store, Steam, and PSN at that rate until August 21st next week.

Town of Islip Economic Development
Where Long Island Gets Down to Business
The Town of Islip's Office of Economic Development (OED) offers a wide array of services and benefits to help companies establish or expand their businesses in Islip, but it was their own brand that was in need of development. Their website was antiquated, their brand message wasn't reaching its target audience, and its services were, in general, being underutilized. Our mission was to move the OED into the spotlight as one of the Town of Islip's key divisions, and to build greater awareness of its many incentive packages and services. We began with a total rebrand, from a new logo design and tagline to an updated website that was more modern, more responsive and simpler for users to navigate. Once finished, we developed a fully integrated plan, including radio, print and digital advertising, plus social media, printed collateral and email marketing, which moved audiences to visit the new site to learn more about setting up shop in Islip.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance je akcijska videoigra z elementi igranja vlog, ki jo je razvil češki studio Warhorse Studios in leta 2018 izdal založnik Deep Silver za Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 in Xbox One. Postavljena je v srednjeveško Češko kraljestvo, ki je bilo del Svetega rimskega cesarstva nemške narodnosti. Vsebina temelji na resničnih zgodovinskih dogodkih.

Zgodba se odvija v času vojne leta 1403 na Češkem. Po naročilu madžarskega kralja Sigismunda Luksemburškega so kumanski najemniški vojaki napadli in izropali vas Skalitz, glavni vir srebra. Eden izmed preživelih je Henry, kovačev sin. Obubožan in maščevanja željan stopi Henry v službo fevdalnega gospoda Kobyle, ki vodi upor zoper madžarskega kralja Sigismunda. Medtem ko si Henry prizadeva zadostiti pravici za njegovo družino, ki je bila v napadu ubita, se vplete v poskus, da bi na Češkem zopet zavladal zakoniti kralj Vaclav IV., Sigismundov polbrat. Igra vsebuje razvejane naloge in odprt svet, ki spodbuja igralca, da se vanj potopi. Vsebuje orožje, oblačila, vojaško tehnologijo in arhitekturo zgodnjega 15. stoletja, ki so jo ustvarjalci igre poustvarili s pomočjo arhitektov in zgodovinarjev.

Igra je na splošno prejela pozitivne ocene ter več nagrad za igro leta. Kritiki so pohvalili predvsem zgodbo, občutek za podrobnosti ter realizem, kritika pa je bila usmerjena predvsem v tehnične hrošče.

Igranje
Kingdom Come: Deliverance je akcijska videoigra z elementi igranja vlog, postavljena v odprt svet in se igra v prvoosebni perspektivi. Igralec lahko sam izbere svoje veščine ter igra kot bojevnik, trubadur, tat ali pa kot hibrid. Igralčeve veščine se izboljšujejo na podlagi njegovih dejanj.

Q: Метод destroy() у Яндекс.Карт не доступен
console.log(map.destroy) возвращает, очевидно, undefined, т.к. метода destroy() в объекте карты вообще нет.

return yandexMapInitializer;

});
Ссылка на API, которое используем. На проекте стоит requireJS, поэтому подключаем через конфиг и т.д.
requirejs.config({
baseUrl     : '/app/src/js',
paths       : {
    'jquery'                : '../bower_components/jquery/index',

    ... много разных штук ...

    'ymaps'                 : '//api-maps.yandex.ru/2.1/?lang=ru_RU&mode=debug',
    'yandexMapInitializer'  : './components/yandexMapInitializer'
},

Для теста я уже вызываю destroy() прямо после инициализации. И вот такая ошибка вылетает.
Решение проблемы:
    yandexMapInitializer.prototype.destroy = function() {
        const self = this;

        this.ymaps.ready(function() {
            self.myMap.destroy();
        });
    }

Не забываем обернуть вызовы к API Яндекса в ymaps.ready.

A: Я сейчас вижу что map это не объект карты, а Ваш initializer.
Внутри него, когда Вы создаете карту, Вы сохряняете ссылку на нее в переменную map, которая никуда дальше этого метода не видна.
Сделайте как-то так:
this.ymaps.ready(function() {
   ...
   self.myMap = new self.ymaps.Map(
   ...
}

и тогда вызов уничтожения можно будет вызвать на этом поле вне initializer
map.myMap.destroy();

а еще лучше сделать метод в initializer, который будет это в свою очередь делать, и дергать извне уже этот метод.

Will courts allow more transparency?
By Laura MacCleery
As public scandals continue to erupt - from the Illinois spectacle to graft in the municipal bond marketplace - and the economy heads further south, public trust in institutions is reaching a new nadir. President Barack Obama, attentive to this souring mood, is making greater government accountability and openness a centerpiece of his approach.
Yet in federal and state courts across the country, a sudden surge of lawsuits threatens to overturn existing good government laws, including challenges to bedrock principles such as disclosure of spending on elections. Perhaps sensing a closing window on the Supreme Court, conservative lawyers are seeking to use recent high court rulings to deregulate campaign spending and contributions. If successful, such moves may make reforms far harder to craft - just when citizens are pushing for greater transparency in government.
The litigation wave comes in the wake of three Supreme Court decisions, Davis v. Federal Election Commission, FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life and Randall v. Sorrell. For decades, the court routinely upheld limits on contributions, supported disclosure requirements and generally preserved transparency rules and limits. Most notably, in 2003, it upheld the landmark Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act banning unregulated money to political parties.
But in the more recent cases, a new majority signaled its eagerness to embrace a far more ideological approach, tossing out contribution limits as too low in Randall, enlarging the areas in which corporations and unions can spend money on electioneering communications in Wisconsin Right to Life and throwing out rules providing more money to candidates who face a wealthy opponent in Davis.
This spring, the court will decide another important case, Citizens United v. FEC. It challenges the constitutionality of federal rules requiring disclosure of financial sponsors for "Hillary: The Movie," a two-hour denunciation of the then-primary candidate. It also contests requirements that advertisements state who "is responsible for the content." A brief filed by former Solicitor General Theodore Olsen asks the court to overturn precedents that for years justified requiring disclosure of spending by outside groups seeking to influence elections.
Another two cases were filed by the Republican National Committee the day after the presidential election. They challenge the constitutionality of bans on unlimited funds and coordinated spending supported by the GOP's own nominee, John McCain. The RNC publicly admits that it believes it cannot be competitive in the next election without limitless donations from corporations and other deep-pocketed interests.
As Jeffrey Rosen wrote last spring, pro-business conservatives, and specifically the legal hawks for the Chamber of Commerce, have angled for influence on the court and courted members of the federal bench for more than 35 years. The current legal attacks are, in some ways, the last big stand for covert attempts to manipulate the electorate, because the window of opportunity will narrow as the federal judiciary is reshaped by Democratic appointments.
Yet the result could be pre-Watergate-era levels of public transparency and accountability for elected officials. Losing now would produce a system badly out of step with the need for more transparent government, leading to considerable public frustration.
Despite an explosion of small-donor activity and encouraging indications from the 2008 election about voter participation, large contributions still played a substantial role in this election. While Mark Schmitt's recent article in The American Prospect overlooks this point, the development is a result of BCRA's requirement that parties and candidates collect limited hard money from individuals.
BCRA cut off unregulated money to party coffers, requiring candidates to aggressively reach out to new and smaller donors. As Brian Wolff, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, told The American Prospect, BCRA "forced us to do what we should have been doing all along, which was including more people in the political process."
Coupled with Internet-based solicitations that lower costs, BCRA's limits created space for small donations to matter. Moreover, limits and disclosure are important for a new wave of reforms - public funding systems - because they keep the public informed and enhance fairness and competition.
Yet opponents are pushing for constitutional rulings that could take core reforms off the table. How far the Roberts court may go in dismantling these laws is anyone's guess.
The stakes are high. The attacks - and others no doubt being planned - directly imperil the public's right to know who is paying for politics and politicians. Their success would drown out the voices of small donors, extinguish the promise of continued progress on transparency and destroy the ability to track money flowing into our elections.

Q: Escape a quote in SSIS Flat File Conn Manager I am trying to import a simple text file, that has a few "extra" quotation marks in it, and I am trying to see if there is a simple way to accommodate this.
To reproduce the issue, I have a simple three line file I want to import:
"FirstName","LastName","ZIPCODE"
"Tim","Harkin","11111"
"Tim","Harkin"","11111"
"George","Washington","12345"

The extra quote in the third line is throwing off the import.  Looking at the file connection manager, I have the following settings:

However, looking at the preview, the extra quote then ends up "hiding" the column delimiter:

Any suggestions to get the connection manager to ignore that extra quote, and interpret each line as they exist in the flat file?

A: First, I'll assume you can't simply ask for a correctly formatted csv file. If the last name should really be Harkin", then the entry in the csv file should have escaped the double quote character by doubling it (i.e., "Harkin"""). If this is a recurring process, then the best solution will definitely be to require a correctly formatted file.
I don't know of a good way to force SSIS to read in an incorrectly formatted file and figure out how it should be formatted.
If I were in your shoes, I'd try one of two approaches:

*

*Repair the file manually: Open the file up with a text editor, preferably one that can handle regular expressions. Replace the string "," in the file with a unique token (say, --COLBREAK-- - anything that won't be in your data will work [check first if in doubt]). Then search for double quotes between two characters (i.e., any remaining double quotes not at the start and end of the line). Check these, if appropriate replacing " with "". you might also want to confirm that all lines have the expected number of column breaks, to make sure that you don't have the ","embedded in an existing string, or rows that are missing columns altogether. When done, change your token back to "," and try importing the file again.

*Load the data in two phases: If there too much data to manipulate in an editor, rewrite your initial load process to import the entire row as one column. You can process this data in SSIS or load it to a SQL table. Next, check for valid rows (start with ", have "," twice, end with "; and, does not have seven or more instances of " in it), and write those rows to a "valid" file. Write the rest of the rows to an "invalid" file. Process the "valid" file as you originally planned; again, manually resolve the rows in the "invalid" file so they are valid, then process them as well.

A: I have faced this issue and managed tolve it by setting Configuration as follows and all should go fine.

Scientists Can Relieve Anxiety and Depression With Strong Magnetic Fields
Recently, researchers have been working on examining the biosafety and neurobehavioral effects of 33.0 Tesla high static magnetic fields (SMF). They used the Constant High Magnetic Field Installations (SHMFF) self-built biological research platform in a series of studies. The experiments were conducted by Prof. Dr. Hefei Institutes of Physical Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Performed by Xin Zhang's group.
They published the first reports on the biosafety of 30 Tesla SMF and the neurobehavioral effects of 20 Tesla and 30 Tesla SMF on healthy mice in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging and European Journal of Radiology.
Ultra-high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has grown rapidly in recent years, largely due to its high imaging resolution. Clinically validated 7 Tesla MRI and 21.1 Tesla MRI have been used effectively on rodents. However, research on the biosafety of high magnetic fields is still lacking by over 20 Tesla and there is a research gap of over 30 Tesla.
Magnetic field intensity and exposure time were increased by Xin Zhang's group based on the results of a previous biosafety study using 3.5-23.0 Tesla SMF. Healthy C57BL/6J mice were subjected to 7.0-33.0 Tesla SMF for one hour.
For two months after exposure, all mice were fed regularly. Most mice were still within the normal reference range, except for a few indicators of metabolic, hepatic, and hepatocellular function that were adversely affected by the magnetic field.
Within two months of exposure, behavioral tests revealed that high SMF reduced anxiety and improved social and spatial memory in mice.
The better neurocognitive effects demonstrated in behavioral experiments of healthy mice exposed to a 3.5-23.0 Tesla magnetic field for two hours could be attributed to the higher expression of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II in the mouse hippocampus.
Further research by Zhang's team revealed that 7 Tesla SMF could successfully treat depressive mouse symptoms.
These findings may also suggest that high SMF has the potential to be used as an antidepressant in the future. They also provide useful safety data for the development of ultrahigh MRI.

NetEnt Casino Software
NetEnt holds a special place in the hearts of many online casino players. This world-famous casino software provider is based out of Scandinavia and has been active since 1996. This makes NetEnt one of the oldest and most experienced casino software developers around.
NetEnt (as they are known) is one of the world's leading game developers. Renowned for game production but also back-office software. They have their fingers in a lot of pies. NetEnt produces the software required by operators to run casino sites. They also develop mobile slots, casino games, live casino titles and much more besides. It is time to take a closer look at this giant of the online casino industry. Popular casinos with NetEnt slots are Casilando Casino and Slot Planet Casino.

The History Behind Net Entertainment
Net Entertainment was initially founded in 1996. However, it wasn't until 2000 that they really started to make their mark in the casino world. Initially, they operated their own casino domains. However, by 2002, they sold them off and decided to focus solely on game development. By doing so, the Scandinavian provider rapidly gained popularity with players. This time also saw them able to establish a considerable arsenal of releases.
By 2012, NetEnt was ready to return to back-office software production. Today, the developer provides the power to over 250 leading casinos. As recently as 2015, Net Entertainment held a 31% market share of the entire European online casino gaming sector. Renowned casinos operating with their software include Mr Green Casino, Vera & John, LeoVegas Casino, Casumo, 21, Unibet and others.
The company is licensed out of Alderney, Gibraltar, Malta and the United Kingdom. They also operate in Canada, New Jersey and out of Asia. They also have a superb array of casino games, with over 200 top titles in their library. Many would argue that Net Entertainment are the top dogs in the industry. At the very least, this respectable software developer can consider itself on par with Microgaming and Playtech.
Betting Sites Which Utilise NetEnt Software
Over 250 top domains feature software in some way, shape or form from Net Entertainment. Not all those domains are directly powered by NetEnt; some may only offer their games. However, a good chunk of them will run the full NetEnt suite. This entails all the trimmings, such as promotions, currencies, banking options, support and game access, amongst other elements.
As well as powering online casinos, Net Entertainment is also known to develop sportsbook software. They are also associated with online bingo portals and poker domains. Because NetEnt's game development range is so broad, their software appeals to all manner of internet betting sites.
About NetEnt's Software
Net Entertainment provides back-office software for casinos but also has a gaming portfolio for operators to take advantage of. Their games are certified by iTech Labs and other independent auditors as fair to play. The operator is also regulated out of some of the most restrictive gambling jurisdictions in the world. This also ensures that everything is squeaky clean, transparent, fair, secure and above board.
All NetEnt's games are designed to be mobile-friendly. Casinos with NetEnt mobile software (NetEnt Touch) may offer download apps. However, the interface of those sites is often developed to be friendly for web browser users, too.
Net Entertainment's Range of Games
Net Entertainment produces all manner of gambling games. The most substantial chunk of their arsenal consists of online slots. However, RNG (random number generator) table games, live dealer casino games, and instant win titles are developed, too.
Players who prefer a traditional casino gaming experience can find many blackjack, roulette, baccarat and hold'em poker games. Video poker games like Jacks or Better are also offered. NetEnt's range of table games come with flexible wagering limits, so high-roller and low-rollers alike can get involved. The RTP rates of most NetEnt table games stretch from 94.74% up to 99.59%.
NetEnt's live casino suite features all the classic table games, including baccarat, blackjack and roulette. These games can often be played in multiple languages. They are also streamed from various locations around the world, including lavish casino floors and studios.
The Inside Track on NetEnt Slots
Slots form the most extensive array of games that players will find at NetEnt casinos. Many of those are branded slots and include the likes of Narcos, Vikings, Jumanji, Dracula, Guns 'N' Roses and more. NetEnt has also produced a handful of classic slots, progressive jackpot games, and mobile slots.
Most NetEnt slots will typically feature fewer than 243 paylines, although some incorporate Cluster Pays style gameplay. The developer is a big believer in originality when it comes to features. Walking Wilds, Cluster Pays, and Synced Reels are all common slot features which have been credited to NetEnt before now. Most NetEnt games come equipped with free spins and wild symbols.
However, some also include click and win bonuses, money wheel features and randomly triggered goodies. The developer's slots range from low variance to being highly volatile. In most cases, the number of paylines available is fixed. But stakes are minimal. On occasion, NetEnt even provides a two-for-one deal with paylines in their slots.
Net Entertainment's range of progressive jackpot slot machine games is amongst the most profitable in the world. Both Hall of Gods and Mega Fortune have, in their time, dished out millions of dollars' worth of jackpot prizes. Divine Fortune, Mega Fortune: Dreams and Arabian Nights are also leading NetEnt slots with multi-million-dollar jackpot prizes.
Top NetEnt Games You Should Try
The Swedish casino software developer has had years at the top. In that time, they have amassed a huge library of leading slot machines. Some are understandably far more popular than others. This "classic range of titles" includes some very memorable releases. These include:
Gonzo's Quest: A Spanish Conquistador-themed game which utilises collapsing reels and increasing multipliers. Keep an eye out for the Free Falls bonus, which can deliver vast wins with impressive multipliers.
Twin Spin: One of the very few slots to feature synced reels which display the same symbols on each spin. This medium-low variance release likes to chuck up stacked symbols across its reels, which aids in landing wins.
Starburst: NetEnt's flagship slot. This game frequently features in free spin, and no deposit bonuses at a host of NetEnt powered online casino sites. It is commonly found at all major casino sites.
Mega Fortune: One of the best-paying slots online. This lifestyle of the rich and famous slot has paid out wins worth over $15m in the past. It is one of the few progressives where it is possible to win millions of dollars with $0.25 stakes.
Dead or Alive: Set the benchmark high for other Wild West-themed slots to follow. Sticky wilds play their part in helping players land wins in this game. NetEnt recently launched a sequel to Dead or Alive, simply titled, Dead or Alive II.
However, there are other top NetEnt slots which are worth having a punt at. These include Blood Suckers, Aloha: Cluster Pays, Jack Hammer 2, EggOMatic, Spiñata Grande, and Jack and the Beanstalk, amongst others.
The Perks of Playing NetEnt Games
There are perks to playing NetEnt games at online casinos. Here are a few of the reasons why you might like to play at NetEnt games.
NetEnt games generally feature medium-low volatility gameplay and have RTP rates of 96% or higher.
NetEnt slots vary wildly in theme and structure. Some are zany games with as few as 9 paylines. Others are epic releases, with 5-10 different special features.
NetEnt slots are commonplace across the globe. They can be found at seemingly every major casino site.

Being in blogging for more than 4 years, I know author bio box is one important factor to make your blog post look credible, and to add a personalized touch to your blog post. When ever I read a useful blog post, I always want to know more about the author of the article. If it's a single authored WordPress blog, an about me page does the job pretty well, or even showcasing your profile in the blog sidebar is a good idea. But, when it's a multi-authored blog, it's a good idea to show an author bio box below blog post to showcase the author. Specially, when blogging is becoming more social, and factors like Author rank are affecting blog SEO and blog credibility, a good practice is to showcase author social media profiles too. Today, I will be featuring Fancier author box WordPress plugin, which is a free plugin and let you add author bio box within minutes.
How to Add Author Bio with WordPress plugin?
Here at WPSutra I use custom code to show author bio, which usually consist of Author image, author name to showcase the author. But,most of the newbie bloggers who lands with free WordPress themes or premium WordPress themes, most of them lack the feature to show author box below blog post. Fancier author box plugin is a simple plug and play plugin to add Author details below blog post. The best part is this plugin showcase author description, author social media profiles and also showcase last few published posts by author. This is very useful for blogs having multi-author or for blogs who are offering guest authors to submit guest post on their blog.
You can download the plugin from official repo here, and once you have installed and activated the plugin, you can configure few settings.
You can configure many settings like where you want author bio to be shown (Posts or pages or both), and you can customize the color of box to match your blog design. Though this plugin comes with limited settings, but it's good for newbie, as you simply look out for plug and play plugins. Once you have configured the plugin, go to your profile (Edit profile), and add details like your company, your social media profile links, and a catchy profile description for you.
It will not take more than 5 minutes to configure and add author bio with this plugin. If you have some more money to spend, you should consider buying Fanciest plugin, which cost $10, and offers more features like separate tab for social media profiles, spotlight author in the sidebar , and looks more elegant. Though for a price tag of 0, Fancier author box plugin is worth putting on your blog, and improve your blog post credibility.

Left behind but not broken – read the story of Ayodeji Idowu stranded In Wuhan along with his wife & kids

Ayodeji Idowu was already thinking of returning to Nigeria with his wife and two kids when the coronavirus clutched at Wuhan like a vise-grip. This is the interview he granted Channels Television.
"It was the Spring Festival holiday (China's biggest festival) and I was supposed to travel the following week," Idowu says. But his plans had to be cancelled as the Chinese government started to take measures to contain the deadly virus, which has now killed more than 2,000 people across the world. By late January, Wuhan, a city of 11 million, was essentially put on lockdown.
"For food, initially we used to be able to buy things that we wanted at big malls such as Walmart," Idowu says. "But as the case became more and more severe, with the number of infection cases skyrocketing, they restricted the movement of people to one person per family for three to four days. So when you want to go out, they tick, like a register, to show that you are the only person who has gone out from your family in the last four days.
"Then it became more severe and even Walmart was not allowed to entertain individual customers. We were not allowed to leave our residencies. For example, I have not been able to step out of my estate's gate since the newer restrictions came into being about two weeks ago. What we then do is to use Wechat groups; and then we have coordinators on the group who collect our orders. Whatever it is that you want to buy, you post it in the group and it would be delivered the next day.
"To receive your order, you come to the gate, stand about ten metres away, have your temperature checked, and then they hand over your items and you return to your apartment."
So far, the arrangement has worked enough to keep the Idowus alive and well. But the isolation is already taking its toll.
"My wife is . . . quite worried because of getting food for our children," Idowu, who completed his doctorate studies in 2018, says. "Since the new restrictions, we have not been able to get them the kind of food that they normally eat. Now we are forced to take whatever is available in the group purchase, which is basically catering to Chinese tastes, not foreigners'."

Helvetica and the New York City Subway System by Paul Shaw — which examines the Helvetica's role and history in the New York City Subway system — looks like a must have for any design collector. It's currently sold out of it's initial limited edition but Shaw's site says they are looking for a publisher. Let's hope that works out.
Also not to be missed is David Heasty's One Color Subway Map featuring, of all things, Helvetica. You may still be able to score a print, details are here.
Was it not Vignelli who first brought Helvetica to the System?
Also lets not forget he also brought a Underground style map along with Helvetica, which was unwisely dropped in the late 80's I believe.
What's up with the capital S on the cover? Not Helvetica, is it?
This is a beautiful book. I received my copy a little while back, and I didn't even open it for a while. I was busy staring at the shipping package, which had been beautifully addressed by hand (Paul Shaw is also a calligrapher).
In a follow-up "thanks for the support" email, Shaw mentioned that, although there are no plans for a second edition, he hopes to find a publisher to do a trade edition. I'd recommend grabbing a copy if anyone has a chance.
I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but I'm pretty sure I've read it, or an abbreviated version, online.
That says it's also by Paul Shaw, and while not full book length, was a very interesting read.
About the S on the cover, I have noticed that too in the Subway system and am perplexed by it. It looks like Aksidenz grotesk. On some signage they have both that S and Helvetica, I have been noticing the pairing of the two more and more, and I think they use Arial for the Metrocard machines!
yup the "S" on this cover and spotted throughout the NYC subway system is Akzidenz Grotesk. The signage system was (re)designed around 1960 or 61 (cant remember exact date) and while Vignelli would have preferred it to Akzidenz Grotesk (called Standard back then), Helvetica hadnt gained enough popularity in the States yet and Akzidenz was the closest suitable typeface that was available for any extensive reproduction of type in sizes large enough for transit signage.
almost everything shown in these pictures is akzidenz grotesk.
really sad for a "design" blog to mix these up, but well, whatever.

I want to start a series of blog posts about photography.
For the first post I want to start to talk about my very first passion: film photography.
Film photography is photography that uses, as a recording medium, a light reacting film, covered by silver halide crystals. This film can be developed, after being exposed, to fix the sensitive layers so they are no more affected by light and also revealing the latent image shot.
Film photography has been the only one existing for more than one hundred year, and is still used today, by an increasing number of photographers and enthusiasts.
When using film, you have the choice between Black and White and Colour film. The difference between the two types is quite obvious: a Black and White film, which can be an orthochromatic or a panchromatic one, reacts to light creating natively an images in shades of grey, while a Colour film reacts creating a full colour image.
In the next post about film photography I will explain in detail how a film is made, so don't worry about new terms and concepts now: you will find everything you need to master the concept following this series of posts.
Film photography is both challenging and fun: you need to take your time before shooting, you need to think about to set your camera, check for light and composition, and then press the shutter button. Also, a 35mm film canister has 24 or 36 exposures, so you cannot "waste" them in a lot of test shots.
You need to carefully select your subject, think about the desidered result of your image, so you improve your planning skills as you try to anticipate the scene you are going to photograph.
Also, after shooting a photo, you have to wait for it to be developed to see the result, so this another part of the fun. With the developed film you can go and print it (at home, too, and I will teach you how to do that) or scan it to check it on a computer.
Also, film photography is a technology almost fully developed, so it's stable, reliable, and will not change that much in the next year, so that once you learn how to be proficient in it, you will remain proficient.
Once you learn the differences between the different films, and how to exploit them to get the result you want, every roll of film will be consistently giving you the same results.
So, welcome to film photography, follow this blog for more and more things about it.

Lindsey Graham, Who Said He Didn't Want A National Abortion Ban, Just Introduced One (But Doesn't Want To Call It That)
After previously saying the issue of abortion should be left to the states, Sen. Lindsey Graham now wants abortions banned in the US after 15 weeks.
by David Mack
Posted on September 13, 2022, 5:35 pm
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina on Tuesday introduced a Senate bill that would ban abortions in the US after 15 weeks.
To put that period of time into perspective, it's been only five weeks since Graham said he opposed any federal abortion ban because he felt the issue should be left to the states.
It's also been just 11 weeks since a newly energized conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in a landmark decision that stripped away half a century of abortion protections across the country.
"I think we should have a law at the federal level that would say, 'After 15 weeks no abortion on demand, except in cases of rape, incest, [or] to save the life of the mother,' and that should be where America's at," Graham said.
Graham's federal abortion bill would ban abortions 15 weeks after gestation, although he and anti-abortion advocates have attempted to frame the proposed legislation as a "late-term abortion ban."
"Late-term" is a political phrase, not a medical one, but it has been previously used to refer to the roughly 1% of abortions that occur after 21 weeks of pregnancy — not 15. These rare abortions might be sought to protect a pregnant person's health or due to fetal anomalies incompatible with life, per the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
"15 weeks is not 'late term,' particularly given the significant challenges to access around the country," Christina Reynolds, a spokesperson for Emily's List, a group that aims to elect women candidates who support abortion rights, wrote on Twitter. "And let's be clear: this is their first step to a full ban."
One woman who said she discovered such a fetal anomaly in the 16th week of her pregnancy confronted Graham at his Tuesday announcement.

Twitter: @atrupar
Graham's bill would still give states flexibility to ban abortions before 15 weeks — as has happened in Oklahoma, where almost all abortions are banned from the moment of fertilization — but it would constrain other more liberal states.
"Let's be clear about what a bill like this would do — it could put a ban on abortion in place in every state in our country, including blue states that have laws protecting abortion rights and access on the books," Mini Timmaraju, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said in a statement. "This is about who gets to decide what's right for our lives and our families. Should it be a person who is pregnant? Or Lindsey Graham and MAGA Republicans?"
Graham's bill contains an exemption for victims of rape, but only if the pregnant person has obtained counseling or medical treatment for the rape at least 48 hours before seeking an abortion, as well as to protect the life of the pregnant person. Minors who are victims of rape or incest would also be exempt if that crime has been reported to authorities.
The bill would also carve out an exemption for pregnant people whose lives are in danger, but this would not apply to "psychological or emotional conditions."
Graham said his flip-flop on leaving abortion to the states was due to Democrats introducing a bill that Republicans said went too far. "Our legislation is a counter to their proposal," Graham said. "I hope we get to debate on it and vote on it."
A Wall Street Journal poll from earlier this month found the number of Americans who said they opposed a 15-week ban had risen from 43% in March to 57% before Roe was struck down.
Since the Supreme Court's ruling in June, abortion has emerged as a major factor in November's midterm elections with a surge in women registering to vote in many states. Republicans have been spooked by the apparent voter backlash, made evident by the high turnout and subsequent resounding defeat of a constitutional amendment to remove abortion protections in Kansas last month. As some GOP candidates even remove old language from their campaign websites in which they supported abortion bans, the Republican Party has instead been trying to keep voter and media attention on crime, immigration, and the economy — three subjects Graham himself named at Tuesday's news conference.
The South Carolina senator framed his bill as a way to confront the abortion issue in the campaign season with a bill he feels will make Democrats look radical. "I'm sure this will come up and what I'm trying to tell my colleagues [is] that there is a consensus view by the most prominent pro-life groups in America, that this is where America should be at the federal level," Graham said. "I don't think this is going to hurt us."
But Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, told the Washington Post prior to the bill's unveiling that she suspected Graham's bill would serve as "the place to begin" because it could draw wide support and give their campaign "momentum."
Democrats were quick to pounce on Graham's bill, pointing to it as a harbinger of even stronger bills in the future.
"Senate Republicans are showing voters exactly what they would do if they are in charge: pass a nationwide abortion ban and strip away women's right to make our own health care decisions," Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesperson Nora Keefe said.
With President Joe Biden in the White House and Democrats in control of Congress, the bill currently stands no chance of becoming law, but Graham told reporters on Tuesday that he viewed this as the beginning of a long campaign.
"If we stay on this and keep talking about it, maybe less than a decade from now this will become law," he said.

I took my car for detailing and respray today. I insisted the painter will use high quality paint for me - auto base paint.
he asked, "which one ?" and i'm like hmmn.. let me check i'll call you in the evening. The thing is, he's charging me much like 95k to spray Corolla. So help me with paint that will make my car shine.
I don't know much about paint brand though, but paint alone doesn't do the magic.
The painter must be finesse, his tools much be top notch and the paint will produce the desire outcome.

School safety grants awarded to local school districts
YORK – Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill (R-York) announced school safety grants totaling $1,403,943 were awarded to all 11 school districts in the 28th Senatorial District in York County.
School districts that will receive grants include:
Eligible uses for the grants include hiring school security officers, purchasing security-related technology, completing safety and security assessments, implementing violence prevention curricula, offering counseling services for students, and creating other programs to protect students.
The grants were awarded by the School Safety and Security Committee within the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) as part of the School Safety and Security Grant Program, which was created by lawmakers in 2018.
In addition to every school district in Phillips-Hill's Senate district receiving funding, the Youth Advocate Program was awarded a $170,037 grant in order to improve school safety and reduce violence in the Lincoln Charter School.
"Ensuring the safety and protection of students, teachers and administrators is important for every school and I am pleased to see every school district receive funding under this program," Phillips-Hill said. "Unfortunately, Governor Wolf is seeking a $45 million cut to this program in the budget for next year, however, I believe the safety of our children should be a priority."
A total of approximately $53.7 million was awarded for 524 projects throughout the state in the current round of funding. PCCD received a total of 970 applications totaling $134.5 million for school safety projects in the current Fiscal Year.
You can listen to Senator Phillips-Hill comment about this funding announcement here.


When you dine at Province in the Westin in downtown Phoenix, prepare for a meal to remember. The menu puts a contemporary American twist on South American and Spanish flavors, and each dish is crafted from seasonal, local, farm-to-table ingredients. Start your day with breakfast tacos made with potato chorizo hash, scrambled eggs, avocado, and salsa roja. Lunch and dinner options include tortilla soup with avocado and rotisserie roasted chicken, tapas bites like baked Chilean beef empanadas and Peruvian bass ceviche, spice-rubbed shrimp tacos with ancho aioli, and Havana pork with garlic lime mojo, rice, black beans, and plantains. Province also offers a Latin Passport dinner series with a monthly theme that offers a chance to learn about the cuisine of places like Nicaragua, Panama, and El Salvador. And don't leave without trying a to-die-for dessert like Chocolate Five Ways (brownies, ganache, flan, crema, sorbet) or the surprisingly light Honey Crisp Apple-Almond Wafer "Stack" with dulce de leche ice cream.

Causes of the War
France and Britain, Europe's two most powerful nations, had battles almost constantly since 1793, and their warfare directly affected American trade. American presidents from Washington to Madison tried to keep the United States neutral during these conflicts, but both France and Britain deliberately ignored the rights of neutral countries.
For the Americans, the greatest annoyance was Britain's practice of impressments, or the capture of American sailors for service in the British navy. The British government claimed that it only detained subjects of the Crown who sailed under the American flag to escape wartime service in their own navy. In fact, the British seized not only their own deserters, but also frightened a significant number of United States citizens-estimates suggest 6000 or more.
The War Begins
Britain did not really want a war with the United States because it was already involved in another war with France. To try to avoid war, the British announced that they would no longer interfere with American shipping. But the slow mails of the day prevented this news from reaching the United States until weeks after June 18th, when Congress approved Madison's request for a declaration of war.
The War of 1812 had two main phases. From 1812 to 1814, Britain concentrated on its war against France. It devoted little energy to the conflict in North America, although it did send ships to blockade the American coast. The second phase of the war began after the British defeated France in April 1814. With their European war nearly at an end, the British could turn their complete attention to the United States. The United States military was weak when the war was declared. Democratic-Republicans had reduced the size of the armed forces. When the war began, the Navy had only about 16 ships. The army had fewer than 7,000 men. These men were poorly trained and equipped, and were often led by inexperienced officers.
The First Phase of the War
In spite of its small size, the United States Navy rose to the challenge. Its warships were the fastest afloat. American naval officers had gained valuable experience fighting pirates in the Mediterranean Sea. Early in the war, before the British blockaded the coast, ships such as the Constitution and the United States won stirring victories. These victories on the high seas boosted American confidence.
The Second Phase of the War
After defeating Napoleon in April 1814, Britain turned its full attention to the United States. British forces focused their attack on Washington D.C. and burned the Capitol building and the president's mansion in August. The British then attacked Fort McHenry at Baltimore. The commander of Fort McHenry had earlier requested a flag "so large that the British will have no difficulty in seeing it." Detained on a British ship, a Washington lawyer named Francis Scott Key watched the all-night battle. At dawn, Key discovered that the flag was still flying. He expressed his pride in what became the U.S. national anthem. Meanwhile, in the south, the British moved against the strategic port of New Orleans. In December 1814, dozens of ships carrying 7,500 British troops approached Louisiana. To fight them, the Americans patched together an army under the command of General Andrew Jackson.
The British attacked Jackson's forces on January 8, 1815. Protected by earthworks, American riflemen mowed down the advancing redcoats. It was a great victory for Jackson. American casualties totaled 71, compared to Britain's 2,000. Though the Battle of New Orleans made Jackson a hero, it was unnecessary. Slow mails from Europe had delayed news of the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812. It had been signed two weeks earlier, on December 24, 1814.
Impact of the War of 1812
The Legacy of the War
The treaty showed that the war had no clear winner. No territory changed hands, and trade disputes were left unresolved. Still, the war had important consequences. First, the heroic exploits of men such as Andrew Jackson and Oliver Perry increased American patriotism. Second, the war broke the strength of Native Americans, who had sided with the British. Finally, when war interrupted trade, the Americans were forced to make many of the goods they had previously imported. This encouraged the growth of U.S. manufactures. The United States had also proved that it could defend itself against the mightiest military power of the era. For perhaps the first time, Americans believed that the young nation would survive and prosper.
Another legacy of the war was Francis Scott Key's "The Star Spangled Banner." Key wrote this poem while imprisoned in Baltimore on a British ship. It late became our national anthem.

"Achtung Baby" was U2's first full length album of the 1990's and their seventh album of their career. The album was produced by Brian Eno and Danny Lanois. Lanois acted as primary producer, and Mark Ellis, aka Flood returned as the engineer for the album. Eno assisted, working with the band for a week at a time, before leaving for a month or more at a time. The band interested in the new Europe emerging decided to start recording in Berlin and arrived in the city on October 3, 2000 on the last flight into East Berlin before the reunification of Germany. They would begin recording in the famed Hansa Studios, where many including David Bowie and Iggy Pop had recorded. The band struggled during these early recording sessions in Hansa, and were quite divided on a direction to take the album. The band struggled to come up with any completed songs during these sessions, and often would approach the same song over and over again hoping to get somehwere. The band teetered on teh verge of breaking up, and then a breakthrough was reached when they stumbled over the song "One."
U2 returned to Dublin before Christmas where they had an opportunity to listen to the material they had recorded in Berlin. They agreed that there was promise in the material, and they made a brief return to Hansa in January 1991 to finish up some recordings. Only two completed songs came out of the work in Berlin, but the visit had been productive and inspired the rest of the recording sessions. In February 1991, U2 took residence in a seaside home Elsinore located just outside DUblin in Dalkey. The studio they set up there was nicknamed "Dog Town" by the band. Like the recordings in Slane Castle for "The Unforgettable Fire" and in the bands homes for "The Joshua Tree", the move to Dog Town was an attempt to bring some atmosphere to the recordings that Lanois felt couldn't be found in studio. The band struggled during these sessions with a song called "Lady With the Spinning Head" but that work would eventually produce "The Fly", "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" and "Zoo Station". Towards the end of the sessions at Dog Town, Eno returned to the sessions and was horrified with what he heard, and worked with the band over the next number of weeks to strip out some of the overdubbing that had been added to tracks.
In July the band finished work at Dog Town and moved to Windmill Lane Studios for final mixing of the tracks. Some editing work was also undertaken in STS Studios in Dublin. Recording continued up to the September 21 deadline including last minute changes to "Mysterious Ways", "The Fly" and "One". The final night was spent deciding on a running order, and the Edge traveled to Los Angeles to deliver the album for final mastering.
In early 1991, the band reported that the tapes of the Berlin sessions had been stolen. Reporting on the stolen tapes in May 1991, the LA Times suggested that the tapes might have been obtained from hotel staff, after the band had left the tapes behind in a hotel room. A spokesperson for the band replied, "It's impossible to fathom the band leaving these tapes in the hotel trash. They would always be under lock and key." Bootlegs of the tapes started to circulate and were making the rounds within a few months. This lead to a lot of circulation on just what kind of album the new U2 album would become. U2 and Island Records took out ads in the British magazine "Music Week" warning that the label would take legal proceedings against anyone selling the bootlegs. A 3-disc set of 5-inch CDs is the most common pressing of these bootlegs, titled "Salomé" after a song that can be heard numerous times during this boot. The full set of what went missing covers seven CDs, although a large portion of this would just be Larry Mullen working on beats.
The title of the album "Achtung Baby" is taken from the lyrics on "The Fly", it is there in the mix, but not as clear as the main vocal. "Achtung" means attention or warning in German. The title obviously relates back to the recordings in Germany, but the phrase is also used in the Mel Brooks film "The Producers", and was used by Joe O'Herlihy throughout the work in Berlin.
The cover of the album was designed by Steve Averill and Shaughn McGrath, working for Works Associates at the time. The desire to steer clear of anything black and white to provide separation from "Rattle and Hum" and "The Joshua Tree" lead to brightly coloured images being used in a grid pattern on the sleeve. There were some black and white shots included amongst the highly coloured mix of images. Photo sessions were done with photographer Anton Corbijn, who initially shot the band in Berlin in late 1990, and then later in Tenerife during the annual Carnival in February 1991. A final shoot was done in Morocco in July, and additional shots were taken in studio including a naked image of Adam Clayton. There are 16 images on the front cover on the 12-inch vinyl release, in a grid 4×4. A similar grid is used for the back cover. The nude image of Adam Clayton caused some stir when North American record executives saw the proposed cover for the first time, and a hasty drawn "X" was furnished by the designers to place over that image for those marked, although some pressings would cover Adam's midsection with a four-leaf clover. The label of the CD features the image of a baby in graffiti on the wall at Windmill Lane by artist Charlie Whisker. This baby was later used throughout the Zoo TV tour, appeared on the "Zooropa" album, and was resurrected on the U2360 tour. He has been named "Cosmo".
The marketing plan for the album was coordinated by PolyGram marketing VP Jeff Jones, and focused on promotions at the retail level. They focused on the album images, producing 16 different posters from the images. Retailers were given copies of the posters that they could give away in-store, if they displayed the posters themselves. Fourteen weekly newspapers were also given copies of the posters to distribute as well as album advertising, and further posters were given away as sets, as prizes in contests, and some were sold when you purchased the album or singles.
The album was released worldwide on November 18, 1991, with the exception of North America where the album arrived the next day. The album was issued on 5-inch CD, cassette and 12-inch vinyl in most markets. In 1993, as part of the introduction of the DCC (Digital Compact Cassette) format by Phillips, "Achtung Baby" would be one of the initial releases in that format. In the US, the 5-inch CD was distributed in two very different types of packaging. CDs at the time were packaged with a wasteful outer box called a 'longbox' that allowed CDs to be displayed in shelving originally used for 12-inch vinyl. For "Achtung Baby" U2 wanted to do away with the wasteful packaging and chose to release the CD either in a jewel case by itself with no longbox, or in a digipack sleeve that would be the same size as the longbox but would fold up into a regular sized case, made entirely of cardboard. Retailers were given the opportunity to pick which format to support. Later repressings would all be done in the regular jewel box as the 'longbox' gradually faded.
As with "The Joshua Tree", "Achtung Baby" produced five singles, however, this was the first time all five singles were released world-wide. The first single "The Fly" appeared before the album and introduced listeners to this new sound that U2 had found. "Mysterious Ways" was the second single released, followed by "One" as the third single. The fourth single was "Even Better Than the Real Thing" which was released in two formats, a traditional single with b-sides and a single made up entirely of remixes. The finals single released was "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" which was remixed for the release. The single covers of "The Fly", "Mysterious Ways", "Even Better Than the Real Thing" and "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" placed together make one larger image, of U2 riding in a trabant. In October 1992, U2 would also release a video titled "Achtung Baby: The Videos, The Cameos and a Whole Lot of Interference" which featured music videos with documentary footage and media clips.
Live in concert, the songs from "Achtung Baby" have remained staples in the live set over the years. All of the songs from the album have been played live, however, "Acrobat" was only ever played in soundchecks and rehersals, and never played in full in concert. The Zoo TV tour in 1992 did the unthinkable. The first show of the tour opened with eight straight songs from the new album, before playing some of the older material. The "Achtung Baby" material continues to be showcased in tour, with "Even Better Than the Real Thing", "Until the End of the World", "Mysterious Ways", "One", "The Fly" and "Ultra Violet" all appearing on the most recent U2360° tour. Live footage from the ZOO TV tour that supported the "Achtung Baby" album was released in 1994 as the video "Zoo TV Live in Sydney". That footage would later be released on DVD on September 18, 2006. Also in 2006, the fan club gift from U2.com was a live double 5-inch CD titled "Zoo TV Live".
"Achtung Baby" was released to glowing reviews from most critics. It has taken a position as one of U2's best albums in the years since. The album debuted at number one on the USA Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, and debuted at #2 in the UK albums charts.
Alternate titles considered for "Achtung Baby" included "Zoo Station", "69", "Adam" and "Man". A variety of covers were mocked up, most making use of images that would be used for the final grid cover, but sometimes by themselves. "Adam" for instance would have been the title for an album that featured the nude Adam Clayton photo on the cover. Some songs became different beasts throughout the recording process. For instance "Sick Puppy" would become "Mysterious Ways". Other songs never saw release such as "Candy Man", "Bare Back" and "Fat Boy" and it is unknown whether these morphed into another form or not. Other tracks such as "Down All the Days" would be held and worked on for "Zooropa", in this case becoming "Numb". Still others such as "Blow Your House Down", "Heaven and Hell", "Oh Berlin" and "Near the Island" wouldn't be heard until the 20th anniversary release of the album.
For the 20th anniversary of the release of "Achtung Baby" U2 once again released the album. Neil McCormick reporting on the release of "Achtung Baby" said the album was not remastered. In answer to queries about "Achtung Baby," I went to the source. It hasn't been remastered because it "didn't need to be", apparently … It's been sonically tweaked & polished but not, technically, remastered. Hope that makes more sense to you than it does to me. I'm just telling you what I've been told. Not remastered. But tweaked & boosted. It's definitely louder." The Edge also confirmed this saying "All we were able to do is optimize it…because the original is so right". So although re-released, the band did not claim it to be remastered. The re-release was accompanied by many additional bonus materials including an Uber edition that included six 5-inch CDs and four 5-inch DVDs, as well as the album on vinyl and repressings of each of the 7-inch singles on clear vinyl. For more information about this re-release of the album for the 20th anniversary please check out the discography entry for that release.

Cawthorn Calls On Harris To Invoke 25Th Amendment And Remove Biden As President Over Afghanistan Crisis
U. S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn, a freshman Republican from North Carolina, is calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Biden from office following the deadly, botched withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
"Our nation is at a crisis point," he wrote in a letter to Harris and the rest of the cabinet Thursday.
He warned of China's ambitions on the world stage, the resurgent Russia, rising inflation, chaos at the southern border and other global predicaments threatening the U. S. – and argued that confronting them will take strong, decisive leadership.
"Joe Biden's physical inability to lead is not a political talking point – it's a demonstrable fact," Cawthorn told Fox News on Thursday evening. "He is not mentally fit to serve as president of the United States."
The congressman said he does not believe Biden is capable of serving as commander-in-chief following the disastrous U. S. pullout of Afghanistan, which has left thousands of Afghan allies stranded, the country in Taliban hands and the most Americans killed in a single attack in Afghanistan in over a decade.
"I cannot sit idly by and watch the nation that I love spiral into death and devastation because our leader cannot discharge his duties," he said. "There is no time to wait, the time for action is now."
In his letter to Harris, he wrote that as a member of the president's inner circle and a former presidential primary debate opponent, she has seen clearer than anyone Biden's "current cognitive limitations."
"As the person that works closest with the president, you are also the one who best knows the differences between the perception the West Wing wants to project and the ugly reality," he added.
The White House did not immediately respond to an after-hours request for comment on the letter.
The request comes hours after a terrorist bombing outside Kabul's U. S.-held airport left at least 13 American service members dead – 10 Marines, two Army s… (Read more)
