Navy Names Aviators Killed in Florida Super Hornet Crash

Stars and Stripes | By Kat Bouza
The Navy has identified the two pilots killed when their F/A-18F Super Hornet crashed into the sea near Key West, Fla., Wednesday afternoon.
Lt. Cmdr. James Brice Johnson and Lt. Caleb Nathaniel King -- both assigned to the "Blacklions" of Strike Fighter Squadron 213 at Naval Air Station Oceana -- died after the aircraft went down on final approach to Naval Air Station Key West at about 4:30 p.m. The squadron was conducting training in the area at the time.
"The entire Blacklion Family is grieving the loss of two great Americans," Cmdr. Kevin Robb, the unit's commander, said in a Navy statement. "Lt. Cmdr. Johnson and Lt. King were phenomenal young men, exceptional naval aviators, and were living models of what honor, courage and commitment really mean."
Johnson was piloting the Super Hornet at the time of the incident, while King was serving as weapons systems operator, the Navy said. Both men had ejected from the aircraft.
The Super Hornet appeared to suffer from a mechanical failure, witnesses said.
"It looked like it was going to land on the runway and then the whole plane went sideways," local resident Barbie Wilson told The Associated Press. "And then I saw fire and it dropped out of the sky."
The wreckage remains in the water as the Navy's Mishap Investigation Board prepares to launch a probe into the cause of the crash.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and squadron mates of these two aviators," Rear Adm. Roy Kelley, commander of Naval Air Force Atlantic, said in a statement. "A full investigation will be conducted to discover the cause of this mishap."

Q: In Azure devops how can i refer to a specific azure library group variable in a powershell inline code I build various VMS in different regions. Currently i have created a variable group for each region.
However without unlinking and linking variable groups for each region all the time to a pipleline, if i link them all how can i refer to a specific variable in a variable group in powershell ?
eg variable group called region1 has a variable called vnetname which equals vnet-region1
variable group called region2 also has a variable called vnetname which has the value vnet-region2
so i if link both those variable groups to my pipeline and want to build a vm in region 1, how can I refer to the variable "vnetname" in the region1 variable group in the inline powershell script ?

A: It is not recommended to define a variable with the same name in different variable groups.
When you use the same variable name in different variable group in the same pipeline  the variable group included last in your YAML file will set the variable's value.
That means that the variable value in the variable group written later will overwrite the variable value in the variable group written first.
Here is the reference SO thread for more information about usage of multiple variable groups have same Same variable but different variable values in the pipelines.

When the Men Were Gone
When the Men Were Gone: A Novel by Marjorie Herrera Lewis (William Morrow, $26.99/$15.99, 240 pages)
When the Men Were Gone, based on a true story, is Marjorie Herrera Lewis' debut novel about Tylene Wilson, an assistant principal at a Texas high school who takes over the school's football team during World War II, when all of the men are either at war or returning home dead.
Wilson has grown up an avid fan and shares many childhood memories with her father, but when she steps up to make sure the boys get one last chance to play football before the war comes calling, she is seen in a less than favorable light by many of the locals. Her heroic gesture is met more with scorn than gratitude, because "everybody knows" that coaching football in Texas is clearly a man's job.
When Wilson finally clears the imminent hurdles with her principal and the school board, the team takes the field for its first game against a powerhouse program in front of a full house with reporters from hours away descending upon Brownwood, Texas.
It turns out that Wilson does know what she's doing, and Lewis tells both an inspiring and enjoyable story. She does well to avoid too much commentary and simply leads the reader through the thoughts and actions of the characters, bring the story to a satisfying conclusion.
The book, however, is arguably a bit too lean at less than 250 pages. Its primary drawback is that a little more meat at times could have made for a better, more complete story. This does not seem to have been the goal for Lewis, but more could have been done to shore up the characters and plot.
Lewis herself covered the Dallas Cowboys for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and endured some taunting from some insiders before winning them over. She went on to join the Texas Wesleyan University football staff. Though not autobiographical, Lewis apparently relied upon her knowledge and personal experiences to lend credibility to the inspiring account.
Well recommended.

The Pitcher: A Novel by William Hazelgrove (Koehlerbooks, $15.95, 241 pages)
Everyone has a dream. Ricky's is to pitch for the baseball team of the high school that he'll be attending in the coming year. The Hispanic youth has a great fastball but no control, so the dream appears unlikely to come true. But then he meets The Pitcher, a former major league baseball player who pitched his team to victory in the World Series. The Pitcher is not only gruff, he's in mourning for his late wife and wants nothing to do with the world.
William Hazelgrove has fashioned a near classic baseball story with a few unexpected elements. Because Ricky is Mexican-American in a predominantly white and prosperous community, he faces discrimination based on his ethnicity and poverty. He's willing to do almost anything to prove that his athletic skills are good enough, knowing full well that life generally gives you only one shot at success. Can he somehow convince The Pitcher to be his coach and mentor?
This novel is completely unlike Hazelgrove's previous book, Rocket Man, but it's engaging and uplifting. It would be a perfect story for a young athlete-to-be who needs inspiration and encouragement. Ricky demonstrates that grit and determination are essential qualities for dreamers.

Everybody's Got Something to Hide*
*except for me and my monkey
Kasey to the Rescue: The Remarkable Story of a Monkey and a Miracle by Ellen Rogers (Hyperion; $23.99; 288 pages)
"Walk through one door at a time, I told myself, then look for a key to the next. That was my strategy, and I was sticking to it."
If you're looking for a heartwarming present for someone this Christmas, this book may be it. I had a copy of Kasey to the Rescue in my stash of books at the office, picked it up to scan during the lunch hour, and found it hard to close.
Ellen Rogers' 22-year-old son Ned was a student at the University of Arizona when he had a horrible auto accident that left him close to death. The opening scene describing how Ellen got from Concord, Massachusetts to Tucson overnight is worth the price of admission as something amazing happened to speed her journey. Her son survived the crash but as a quadriplegic with a brain injury.
"Pride. Courage. Hope. They were all there in those three little words."
Ned had always been extremely athletic and daring – despite a lack of natural skills – so his life came to a grim halt after the tragic event. Inaction and depression crept in until the gift of an amazingly smart and social female Capuchin monkey gave him back his spirit, his mobility and his hope of persevering. Kasey the monkey had been ever so patiently trained by foster parents and by the Monkey College maintained by Helping Hands: Monkey Helpers for the Disabled. (As with a human college, it takes two to four years to matriculate at Monkey College.)
Rogers' telling of this tough, but inspirational, tale is as humorous as it is gripping and touching. If this were an advertisement for a Disney film, you would read, "You'll laugh, you'll cry." This story is not a Disney film… It's real life. You'll laugh, you'll cry.
"This gem of a book will capture the hearts of readers everywhere." Doris Kearns Goodwin
"A book to change your life." David Doss, Making Rounds with Oscar
"The story told in this book is one of hope, perserverance, laughter, and most importantly, family." Megan Talbert, Executive Director, Helping Hands: Monkey Helpers for the Disabled, Inc.

Blueface Is Reportedly Facing 3 Years In Prison For A Felony Weapons Charge
Blueface has reportedly been arrested. Picture: Getty
Blueface has reportedly been arrested and can potentially be facing three years behind bars...
Californian rising rapper Blueface, 22, was caught with an unregistered, fully-loaded firearm on his person at the beginning of this month, leading to his arrest.
After the recent success of his song 'Thotiana' being one of the biggest songs out at the moment, this is the last thing the rapper could have wanted to happen.
The Blast has reported the Cali rapper has officially been charged in relation to his arrest on (Feb 1st). He is allegedly facing a maximum sentence of three years behind bars.
Blueface shares a video from his most recent concert in Nevada. Picture: Instagram
A report from The Blast reveals that Blueface was arrested after he and a large group of men were hanging out when they were approached by the LAPD.
The rappers friend allegedly tried to get rid of their weapons, but Blueface got caught out. The Los Angeles County D.A.'s office publication notes reveal Blueface was in possession of an unregistered handgun. The felony charge carries a maximum sentence of three years in prison.
Why they lock up #blueface
A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akadmiks) on Feb 1, 2019 at 9:46pm PST
Back in November 2018, Blueface was arrested as he was allegedly in connection with a highway shooting. Blueface happened to get apprehended at a gas station in both arrests.
DJ Akademiks reposted a video of the 2018 arrest on his Instagram. Twitter has also revealed footage and photos of his arrest, where Blueface seemed unbothered by the matter.
In the video, the police officer, is shown pushing Blueface forward in a straight line, and tells him, "You are under arrest,". Blueface responded "Yeah Aight".
He was reportedly released after posting $35,000 bail.
Blueface poses and smiles in selfie on Instagram. Picture: Instagram
Some fans are questioning whether Blueface's response while getting arrested, is him being nonchalant about the situation - or whether he doesn't want to irritate the police to prevent other unfortunate events from happening.

Here's what Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos looks like in the new 'Star Trek' movie
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is in the next "Star Trek" movie. But you probably won't be able to recognize him.
Here's a photo of what Bezos looks like in "Star Trek: Beyond," courtesy of the film's director Justin Lin:
—Justin Lin (@trailingjohnson) July 20, 2016
Bezos is playing a "Starfleet Official," according to his IMDB page.
Here's what Bezos looks like normally:
Michael Seto/Business Insider
We're not entirely sure how or why Bezos got involved with the "Star Trek" film — did he ask to be in it, or the other way around? — but Bezos is pretty familiar with the topic of space exploration. Bezos is the founder of Blue Origin, a private company working on putting humans in space via rocket-powered vehicles that can access suborbital and orbital space. The name of his company refers to Earth, as it is the "blue origin" of his company's technology.

When you say Avrora in St. Petersburg, there are two top meanings: the old historical ship that stays near Gor'kovskaya and attracts tourists… and the spot I'm speaking about, the old and beautiful movie theatre.
Sadly, there are few spots you can watch original movies with Russian subtitles in St. Petersburg. Avrora adds itself to the short list where you also find Dom Kino, Rodina or Angleterre. But this spot is not only good as a way to savor movies but it is also remarkable because of its location and appearance.
First, it stands not on Nevsky but in the yard between high yellow St. Peter's buildings. I always find myself smiling when entering this yard with cute Avrora's facade (female sculpture under the glass!). When the cinema was first opened in 1913, it was named Picadilly, and you can easily spot the circularity they referred to. Of course, you know Picadilly Circus.
Second, the interiors are amazing. They were cleaned but they really are the same from the beginning of the 20th century. I personally love the VIP hall where seats are armchair-like and the ceiling is so high there are sculptures under it (look at the article picture).
Most of the movies in theaters in Russia are dubbed (sadly for a visitor). Check for "с субтитрами" words ("subtitled" in Russian) in the timetable to catch those that are not dubbed.

When installing a vinyl vs wood fence, usually the last thing you need to do is install the gate. While some high wooden gates are built to prevent access to or departure from a casing, most are simply ways to get through a fence without leaving a gaping hole. Whether your wooden fence gate is lavishly decorated or just nailed together boards, installing it is done pretty much the same way.
Place the door on the ground with the side that will swing inwards upwards. Open the hinge and place the 8-inch blade on one of the horizontal vinyl vs wood fence gate beams. Make sure the hinge itself pushes away forming the door and is at least 1/8 inch from the end of the gate. If your gate does not have horizontal beams, use butterfly hinges instead. Drill small pilot holes in the door through the screw holes on the hinge. Use your screwdriver to install the hinge with 1-inch screws. Do the same for the second hinge on the second horizontal beam and a third if the fence is 6 feet tall.
Place vinyl vs wood fence spacers on the ground where the gate will go. Use 1 or 2-inch spacers depending on how high your port must be from the ground. Place the door on the spacers so that the small hinged blades are against the wood and the hinges are between the gate and the post… Drill holes through the holes on the small hinged blades and screw in one-inch screws. When all the screws are in, remove the spacers and make sure the gate turns freely.


It took plastic cocoons and anti-anxiety pills, bravery and providence to save the soccer team. "So many things could have gone wrong," said one official.

Crotchet swimwear by Anna Kosturová worn by American and Canadian celebrities, and a furry bag from the workroom of Nikoleta Rajnáková owned by the CEO of Instagram are but two examples of Slovak handmade products that have made it big. But the map of Slovak handmade products consists of much more than that.
When a historical fencing group needed costumes from the Viking era, Anna Marková was the one to help out. From then on, she started earning her living by sewing historical costumes.
"I started sewing for my friends, then for friends of friends, and suddenly, when I finished my studies of art history, I was earning enough by sewing costumes and did not need to find another job," she described her beginnings for The Slovak Spectator.
Today, Marková runs her own label: valgred, and sells about 80 costumes a year. She also has employees for sewing. Costumes and embroideries are handmade, only some stitches are made by a sewing machine, if the customer prefers.
Half of her customers are from the USA, many are in Europe, but there are also some from Australia. Only about 5 percent of all her customers are Slovaks, Marková estimates.
"In Slovakia, we have many skilful people who know how to sew mainly because of their parents, in the previous regime it was more of a necessity than a hobby," Marková explains why she believes her business is so popular abroad, adding that in western Europe, tailoring is rare.
Her story is only one of many stories of skilful Slovaks who have had their hobby suddenly turn into a profitable business.
The Slovak version of the worldwide Etsy.com and Czech Fler.cz is SAShE, the biggest online platform uniting Slovak craftsmen, designers, or simply crafty people with creative hobbies who want to sell their handmade products online.
As of October 2016, when the portal celebrated seven years of existence, there were 6,000 vendors registered on SAShE, almost 23 million clicks on the website, and 5.8 million products sold since October 2009, when the platform officially launched. The website's statistics reveal that Christmas decorations and wedding gifts are what Slovaks have sought most from the offer of handmade products. In 2016, the biggest trend was modern folk, based on the most searched keywords on SAShE.
From among thousands of vendors on SAShE, several have built up their businesses based on their handmade products.
"There are some family brands on SAShE that literally grew before our eyes, they began to thrive and the creator was subsequently able to employ family members and set up a company," said Saša Miklášová, who founded SAShE.sk with her husband, for The Slovak Spectator.
Dajana Rodriguez is a young student of fine arts from Partizánske.
She is one of the craftspeople who started out on the handmade portal. She sewed her first bag with her mum five years ago.
"It took several days, however, it was a simple bag," Rodriguez reflected on those days, as quoted by the Sme daily.
Rodriguez is Slovak, but as her name suggests, she has Caribbean roots. Her Cuban father, Raul Rodriguez Romelo, had made his living for years by making leather jackets.
Dajana Rodriguez and her mum weren't interested in founding a big business, she admitted for Sme. But after some time, there were more and more people demanding her bags.
"We have the technology – workroom and machine – thanks to my father, so we have conditions to start larger production," explained Dajana Rodriguez for Sme.
Nowadays, Rodriguez no longer sews and she sees her future in designing bags. Her company produces 150 bags a month, and creates 95 percent of her income.
"Customers appreciate the work of small entrepreneurs, they are interested in the production process and they like to know the origin of the product," Rodriguez explained the success of her business for the Dobrenoviny.sk website.
Her bags are in demand in Slovakia and beyond, and she now admits that she is ready to expand more in the future.
Meanwhile, Dávid Hluško, a young Slovak living in Vietnam, teaching English at Hanoi University, started his business also dedicated to bags – men's bags.
Now he is working on more designs and launching an online shop to be able to sell his products worldwide.
Online is, however, not the only way to sell original Slovak designs. In Bratislava's Old Town, a shop with clothes, Kompot, sells its own brand as well as products of several Slovak brands.
SlovakiaGift features T-shirts, bags, pillows and postcards with folk motifs; Lemur is specific because of its T-shirts with faunal motifs that glow in the dark; original Slovak socks are well known under the name Fusakle; the brand Puojd which is behind the folk design of socks for Slovak Olympians in Rio 2016, and many others.
Meanwhile, SAShE keeps the number of its sellers artificially within borders, but there could be many more than the current 6,000, Saša Miklášová said for the HNonline.sk website. Also, customers' interest is increasing, based on SAShE statistics.
"Every month we find a new talent, the Slovak market is really strong in producing handmade products," Miklášová told HNonline.sk.


In his work, which takes its departure in surrealism, Svenungsson has been using a wide variety of media while focusing his imagery on a few recurring image types such as chimneys, maps, and bloodstains. In recent work, these thematic restrictions have been broken down. In the series "Paintings", begun in 2010 and featured in this exhibition, no master narrative is present. Each image stands alone.

The vehicle will see 50 SUVs of each variant every year. While the 6,000 lbs non-armored SUV would cost between $150,000 and $250,000, the 9,000 and 10,500 lbs. armored version will cost you as much as $100,000 to $200,000 over the non-armored variant, depending on the specs you pick.

RIVER HISTORY
For many thousands of years, native people of the Columbia Plateau have made the Spokane River their home due to the huge salmon runs that once thrived in the River. People today make the Spokane area their home as well due to the River and the resources it provides. Although those resources have drastically changed, the Spokane River remains central to the soul of our region.
Very large salmon, such as this 70 pound, 4.5 foot long Chinook Salmon once provided food for native peoples of the area.
Science tells us that people have been in the area for over 11,000 years, tribal people tell stories of being on this land since immemorial time, and their roots span back into mythic time. We also know that for over 8ooo years, continuous urban centers have flourished such as the confluence of Hangman Creek and the Spokane River.
The Spokane Tribe built their civilization around Coho and Chinook salmon that came back to our river in thousands. They caught fish in such abundance that in most years they traded it for the bison meat of the Great Plains tribes.
The Columbia Basin was once home to more than sixteen million salmon and steelhead that returned each spring. The Spokane River was home to a main channel of spawning chinook called the "June Hogs" because of their massive size, sometimes they weighed more than 100 pounds.
The Spokane Tribe and visitors from the Coeur d'Alene, Nez Perce and Palouse country gathered at the Spokane Falls to trap, dry and store many thousands of pounds of salmon. They were caught from platforms with dip nets near the falls, speared with leisters near intricate weirs built of rock and wooden posts, and netted in the shallows. In addition, trout were caught with elaborate lures such as the horse hair sniggle.
Every spring the fishing would begin with the magical and extravagant ceremony of the first salmon feast. The salmon chieftain would taste the first caught fish, and after a long ceremony in which the bones and head of the first fish were thrown back to the river, fishing for the entire community was authorized to begin. This was a massive effort on the part of all. Men fished while women busily prepared the fires and filleted fish. It was a communal time that unified the tribe and allowed massive extended families participated together in the joyous effort of catching, eating, and storing the coming year's food.

Salmon were both a physical necessity that allowed native cultures to flourish and a spiritual hub that unified them. The salmon were a psychic and social connection between the natives and the landscape. In this way, the river was inseparable from the life, the mind, and the soul of the people.
In 1807 David Thompson, an enterprising Englishman, arrived to build a trading post near the Little Spokane River. Native people traveled up and down the river trapping for the growing fur trade. A multi-cultural world of French, English and other Native Americans came together to trade beaver pelts for axe heads and blankets with the local tribes.
Industry soon arrived in the region, taking advantage of the river and the cheap and reliable power it provided to a growing region. In 1882, the Northern Pacific Railroad arrived in Spokane Falls to make it the center of their operation. In this same time period, Mr. Glover, an early pioneer, gave Frederick Post 40 acres to build a grist mill above the falls. A small dam was constructed to power a saw mill in what is currently downtown Spokane. In 1884 water systems were built, and in '85 the first arc dynamo was brought in to generate electricity for 11 street lights. Three years later, a municipal sewer ran to the river. The little city took water to drink, power to build and cast light and a river to wash away their waste. Sawdust and raw sewage burst on the scene as the first real pollution issues for the Spokane River.
This began to change with Expo '74 which drew international attention to the city and the River. No longer was the River a municipal dumping ground. People started to view the River for its environmental benefits. Today there are seven dams on the river generating power and controlling river flows, and several larger dischargers with pipes dumping into the river. However, permits for discharge into the River are tightly regulated, leading to a cleaner River.
Pollution, hydroelectric development, and grazing caused the salmon population to die off and precipitated a crisis for the native people. However, these same tribal people have endured and are leaders in salmon recovery today. They hold a visions of recovery and are leading the push to reintroduce Chinook salmon to the Columbia Basin, including the Spokane River.
The city of Spokane is here because of the river. Whether you enjoy mountain biking trails, fly-fishing, walking your dog on the Centennial Trail, or riding to work across Riverfront Park, the power behind our presence is the Spokane River. Many of us are drawn to live in the Spokane area because of the Spokane River, and its health is crucial to the region.

There are many interesting and amazing details about animals that you may not have known. For example, ugly rat Whether you're interested in animals as pets, food sources, or natural history, you'll find the information you need on About Animals.
The first person to discover a wood duck was probably Captain James Cook in 1770. Captain Cook was sailing the Pacific Ocean when he came across a group of wood ducks nesting near the shore. At the time, wood ducks were not well known and were largely unknown to Europeans. Cook was so fascinated by the wood ducks that he named them after the English word for "duck", which is "wood". He also noted that these birds had a very distinct call. Wood ducks have remained relatively unchanged over the years, and they remain one of the most common waterfowl in North America.
Fact 2: What is the Difference Between a Wood Duck and an American Crow?
The Wood Duck is a medium-sized duck that is common in North America. The American Crow is a larger and more widespread bird that can be found throughout much of the world. The main difference between the Wood Duck and American Crow is the shape of their beaks. The Wood Duck has a shorter and more slender beak while the American Crow has a longer and more robust beak. Other differences between the two birds include their feathers, plumage, and behavior. For example, the Wood Duck is more likely to live in water while the American Crow prefers to live on land.
Fact 3: How Many Ducks Are There in One Flock?
Wood Ducks are a migratory bird. They travel in large flocks and can be seen in many parts of the United States. There are typically between 10 and 20 Wood Ducks in a single flock.
Fact 4: Where Can You Find a Group of Wood Ducks?
Wood Ducks are found in both North America and Eurasia. Their preferred habitats include wetland areas, meadows, and marshes. The wood duck is the most commonly hunted waterfowl in North America.

We study the convergence of the log-exponential regularization method for mathematical programs with vertical complementarity constraints (MPVCC). The previous paper assume that the sequence of Lagrange multipliers are bounded and it can be found by software. However, the KKT points can not be computed via Matlab subroutines exactly in many cases. We note that it is realistic to compute inexact KKT points from a numerical point of view. We prove that, under the MPVCC-MFCQ assumption, the accumulation point of the inexact KKT points is Clarke (C-) stationary point. The idea of inexact KKT conditions can be used to define stopping criteria for many practical algorithms. Furthermore, we introduce a feasible strategy that guarantees inexact KKT conditions and provide some numerical examples to certify the reliability of the approach. It means that we can apply the inexact regularization method to solve MPVCC and show the advantages of the improvement.
Keywords: Mathematical program with vertical complementarity constraints, inexact KKT points, C-/M-stationarity, constraint qualification, convergence, inexact regularization method.

Money is everywhere in our social life. Although it can be subject to technical definitions from lawyers, economists, central bankers and all sorts of experts, it remains an obscure concept. And the more technical the usage of money, the less understandable its meaning. Considering that money is too important to be left only to economists, this course aims at providing a deeper understanding of what money is and how it works in today's unequal and connected world. Using indistinctively sociology, economics, law, philosophy, literature and psychology, and focusing on different actors such as States, societies, consumers and banks, the course will deal with current controversial issues such as the rising role of money, the global distribution of wealth, the erosion of monetary sovereignty, the use of modern local currencies and the disruptive effects of cryptocurrencies on finance and banking industries.
The course will be divided into 3 sets of lectures to introduce the foundations of monetary economics, consider current challenges coming from the rise of cryptocurrencies and discuss economic and social issues raised by money in today's society. Each class will include a presentation by the teacher, an interactive discussion on the session's readings and presentation(s) of the students. In addition to their oral presentation, students will be required to prepare a blog post (comment/ press article/ opinion) on a session's topic (500-1000 words). At the end of this course, the students should be able to understand the bases of monetary creation and have an informed opinion on challenges related to money as it is used today. The reading material will be uploaded before the classes, as well as slides after each session.

Q: State flow in java I have a state history table, which contains states of an activity. These states can be repetitive. Sample table :
id    activity_name   state     sub_state
1      firstTask       Check     INPROGRESS
2      firstTask       Check     FAIL
3      secondTask      Check     INPROGRESS
4      secondTask      Check     SUCCESS
5      seccondTask    Initiated  INPROGRESS
6      secondTask     Initiated  SUCCESS

Any new activity with new state can be introduced anytime in the system.
These states in the table are for debugging purpose. Now I need to expose an API which reads this table and convert these states to meaningful states ignoring the repetitions.
Eg, the above table should be exposed as
First TASK:
CHECKED --> FAILED

Second Task:
CHECKED --> INITIATED

What approach/design pattern should I follow which will handle newly introduced states, their compaction and conversion to meaningful state.
Thanks in advance.

A: Unusal Approach
If you dont have queries like: Give me all Task which state is check and substate is failed try this approach. Save the state and substate in a json string in the database.
id    activity_name   state
1      firstTask      {'Check' : ['INPROGRESS', 'FAIL']}
2      secondTask     {'Check' : ['INPROGRESS', 'SUCCESS'], {'Initiate' : ['INPROGRESS', 'SUCCESS']}

Relational Approach
If you like it the rational way then try to save it like that way, or the criteria above don't fit.
id    activity_name   state     sub_state
1      firstTask       Check     01-INPROGRESS
2      firstTask       Check     02-FAIL
3      secondTask      Check     01-INPROGRESS
4      secondTask      Check     02-SUCCESS
5      seccondTask    Initiate   01-INPROGRESS
6      secondTask     Initiate   02-SUCCESS

So you can just have sql queries like
SELECT MAX(SUB_STATE) FROM STATES WHERE activity_name = 'firstTask' and state = 'Check';

Max is here a string comparison, so if you have more than 99 sub_states for one state then use 003-SUCCESS, etc. You can use normal int number too, but than its hard to read the table without further knowledge from the sql console. So if data size doesn't matter I would prefer to append the meaningful string.
In both approaches you can easily introduce new states.

Home London Leisure English Meals to Try on Your Trip to London
English Meals to Try on Your Trip to London
London is well known for its wide array of international cuisines. From Michelin Star restaurants in West London to the bustling weekend food markets, London is rife with great tastes. One element of the British cuisine scene is often overlooked though, and that's British food itself. As such a multicultural and diverse city, London, is often overlooked for the food that the British are known for. Whilst tea is famously British (but is imported to the UK), there are plenty of hearty meals and drinks to try when visiting the city. Whether you are staying at a London 5-star hotel or are visiting a British friends house, these meals can be found across the country.
The classic British meal became a prominent staple of Victorian London after a Portuguese Jewish man started a friend fish shop. Whilst not strictly English due to the heritage of the first people to fry fish in the UK being Sephardic Jews, the fad gained traction and was featured in literature such as Oliver Twist and a Tale of Two Cities. Add mushy peas for a few extra vitamins, and there's no stopping this battered beauty.
This scrumptious mix of pickle and cheese is the perfect rest for the toiling ploughman. With recipes handed down for generations, this British Lunch has a unique tangy taste.
Jellied Eel
If you want to try a traditional British eel delight, try jellied eel, available in many British seaside towns such as Brighton and Cromer. Jellied Eel is made using a spicy stock in which the eel pieces are boiled. The broth cools down, eventually forming a congealed, jelly like substance which is served with the eel and eaten cold.
Sausages, eggs, beans bacon and mushrooms are just a few of the ingredients in the classic English Breakfast. If you're suffering the morning after a particularly heavy night trawling the West End Bars, then this is the morning boost for you.
Creamy mashed potato and prime British Sausages are all you need for a wholesome meal. Often served with gravy and peas, bangers and mash are comfort food at its best. A classic pub meal and often cooked at home, you can even find great quality vegetarian sausages from the likes of Linda McCartney's vegetarian food company.
Shepherd's Pie
A mix of mash potato baked over mincemeat, gravy, carrots, peas and onions, shepherd's pie is another home cooked and pub grub favourite. Tasting great with a little ketchup on the side, Shepherd's Pie is a must try for wholesome home cooking.
There's nothing like a roast on a Sunday afternoon. With a range of meats available, Sunday roasts are a traditional British dinner which makes use of the classic farming traditions of the country. With garden vegetables and farmyard animals, the roast dinner is the perfect tie off to your week.
Cream Tea can include several different snacks and treats. Often served at hotel West End restaurants, Cream Tea is a mid-afternoon refresher which can include cake, scones, jam and other bitesize sweet treats. On top of this, you can often choose from a range of different teas, including the traditional Earl Grey, a great alternative to the builders brew.

Bird Flu 2022: What You Should Know
Infected wild waterfowl rarely show avian flu symptoms.
Facebook71Twitter3Linkedin6Email27Print76
November 18, 2022 Author : Doug OttingerCategories : Feed & Health
The recent outbreak of the deadly H5N1 strain of avian flu virus in the United States and Canada, "bird flu 2022," is a reason for immediate concern. Highly lethal and easily transmitted, this particular strain of influenza can cause severe illness, especially in chicken and turkey flocks. The resulting mortality losses can reach 75 to 100% within days. Currently, there are no approved avian influenza vaccines or medications available within the United States. Utilizing sound biosecurity strategies when dealing with your flock and being extremely observant of the condition of individual birds are currently the surest methods to protect your poultry from contracting and spreading this disease.
This strain of avian flu virus can wreak havoc, and cause painful, agonizing deaths to the birds it infects. Sick chicken symptoms include swelling of the head and neck, respiratory distress, hemorrhaging within the respiratory and digestive tracts, and neural impairment are just a few of the more extreme, destructive results that do occur.
Because the chicken disease is so contagious, and no antiviral treatment is currently available, depopulation of entire, infected flocks is usually necessary to stop the rapid and unbridled spread to other flocks. This is why taking extreme care to shelter and protect your birds from this and other related viruses is so important.
I was fortunate to receive valuable input for this article from two highly credentialed and knowledgeable professionals in the areas of Avian Health and Disease. A sincere thanks go to Dr. Teresa Morishita, Professor of Poultry Medicine and Food Safety, at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona California, and Dr. Matt Koci, Professor of Immunology, Virology and Host-Pathogen Interactions, at the Prestage Department of Poultry Science, North Carolina State University.
Where is Bird Flu 2022 Currently Being Found?
The current, elevated numbers of the H5N1 avian flu virus, also known as "bird flu 2022," began to show up in waterfowl, in late December of 2021 and January of 2022, in the Atlantic Flyway, on the East Coast of the United States. At the writing of this report, infected waterfowl have been found in North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, and Georgia. Dr. Morishita shared that there have been reports of the virus being isolated from seagulls in Canada, and those in the Great Lakes region should take precautions.
Highly lethal and easily transmitted, this particular strain of influenza can cause severe illness, especially in chicken and turkey flocks. The resulting mortality losses can reach 75 to 100% within days.
According to Dr. Morishita, the current H5N1 strain we are seeing is not native to North America. H5N1 and related sub-strains are widely spread throughout various regions of Eurasia. The current finding of this virus, in waterfowl on the East Coast, is believed to have come from birds that migrated via the Atlantic Flyway.
This extremely lethal virus is easily transmitted to domestic chickens and turkeys, and other closely-related gallinaceous birds. Disease outbreaks in commercial flocks of both broiler chickens and turkeys have been found in Kentucky and Indiana. Recent outbreaks were also found in two home flocks in these regions, one flock on Long Island, New York, and most recently in Maine. The regions of spread appear to be rapidly expanding.
Waterfowl: A Known Viral Host
According to Dr. Koci, wild waterfowl are known to be reservoirs and carriers of numerous strains of avian influenza viruses. Prevalent in their feces and nasal secretions, the viruses are easily spread. Because of this, various government agencies, both at the federal and state levels, monitor and test waterfowl year-round for viruses they may be carrying.
Waterfowl, though they are common vectors, rarely show avian influenza symptoms.
A common misperception many people have, when reading a news article about a new case of avian flu being found in migratory waterfowl, is that sick and dying ducks were found lying around a particular body of water, taken to a lab for testing, and found to be positive for avian flu. Rarely is this ever the case. According to Dr. Koci, waterfowl rarely show any sign of illness when infected with avian flu strains.
A Little Information About Avian Influenza Viruses
All cases of influenza, whether found in humans or other animals, are caused by viruses found in the Orthomyxoviridae virus family. This family group is divided into seven separate genera or types. Four of these contain influenza viruses. These are designated as Types A, B, C, or D.
All known strains of influenza that infect poultry, including the H5N1 strain, belong to the Type A group. This group, or genus, contains numerous influenzas strains, all designated by the letters H and N in their names. H stands for hemagglutinin, and N stands for neuraminidase. These are two proteins, or antigens, on the virus's surface, which help it attach to host cells. The numbers 5 and 1 refer to the subtype of hemagglutinin or neuraminidase involved.
Many viral strains are broken down into more variations or genotypes. Most Type A strains can infect wild and domestic birds, including waterfowl and poultry. Some of the strains affecting poultry, such as H5N1, are very virulent, highly contagious, and very lethal. Mortality in flocks affected by the H5N1 strain often reaches 75% or higher. Strains like these are referred to as High Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI). However, most of the A-type strains affecting poultry are Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza strains (LPAI) and may cause temporary illness and lethargy, from which the birds usually recover.
According to Dr. Morishita, "These Low Pathogenic strains should never be taken lightly. They should still be regarded as potentially dangerous. Because viruses have the ability to change and mutate rapidly, these low pathogenic strains can readily mutate into more serious strains with high pathogenic potential. Flock owners should always be observant and consider any illness in their birds as a potentially serious matter."
Why are Avian Flu Viruses So Difficult to Eradicate?
Dr. Koci discussed some of the problems faced in trying to control various strains of avian flu viruses: "There are currently sixteen known H-antigen subtypes, and nine known N subtypes, among the influenza viruses found in wild waterfowl. This makes keeping track of avian influenza viruses especially difficult. The different influenza proteins can mutate, changing each protein just enough that the immune system doesn't recognize it as well as it did before. But influenza viruses have an extra trick most other viruses don't have. Suppose two different subtypes of influenza infect the same animal simultaneously. In that case, they can swap gene elements like trading cards so that the virus that comes out has a combination of genes from either parent. This combination of gene mutation and gene rearrangement leads to virtually unlimited potential for new strains."
What Should I Do to Keep My Birds Safe?
During this "bird flu 2022" outbreak, one of the first steps, according to Dr. Morishita, is to minimize your flock's contact with wild birds. These wild birds can be hosts of unwanted and potentially severe viruses, including avian influenza. This may mean building a bird-proof covering over an existing run, closing in areas with clear plastic, or covering with a smaller-gauge mesh that does not allow access to smaller birds. It also means that free-ranging may need to be reconsidered, at least for now.
"Just like us when we are sick and don't feel well, a bird's behavior will also change and give off signs," says Dr. Morishita. "Observation of individual birds in your flock is very important. You should look for certain things and ask certain questions. 'Has behavior changed? Has eating or drinking decreased? Has egg-laying slowed? Does a bird have ruffled feathers with an obvious lack of preening? Is there lethargy?' All of these things," she says, "are signs that something is wrong." Other things to observe, according to Dr. Morishita, are feces. Is there diarrhea, or is it an abnormal color? Is there blood in the fecal material? Gastrointestinal issues will often exhibit in abnormal fecal discharge. Listen to the breathing. Is there coughing, sneezing, or a rattling sound when they breathe? All of these are tell-tale signs of illness. Sick birds should be isolated, and testing of the entire flock should be done. Seek the advice of your veterinarian or the local cooperative extension service. All states have cooperative extension services and agents to help with such cases.
Influenza viruses have an extra trick most other viruses don't have. They can swap gene elements like trading cards so the virus has a gene mutation and rearrangement leading to virtually unlimited potential for new strains.
Biosecurity issues, at this time, are critical. As much as we like people to admire our birds, now may not be the time to bring visitors carrying unknown pathogens into your backyard to admire your chickens. Just like you would not knowingly bring deadly germs home to your family, stop and think how you could carry flu viruses and other germs to your chickens or other poultry. You may not want to wear the same boots or shoes into your chicken run that you just wore on a hike around a local lake to see the ducks. And as Dr. Morishita also brought up, if you are a waterfowl hunter, do not wear the same jacket out to the chicken pen you just wore yesterday when you brought in your prized ducks or geese from the truck.
As redundant as it may be, hand washing may be just as important in maintaining your poultry's health as it is in maintaining your health. The use of antiviral disinfectants approved for poultry on surface areas and equipment has also been beneficial.
Dr. Koci strongly reiterated the importance of quarantining any new birds in an area away from your regular poultry area before adding them to your flock. A minimum period of 21 days is recommended, with 30 days preferable.
Some biosecurity measures may seem like overreach. But the ease with which "bird flu 2022" spreads, the rapid and devastating toll it can take on entire flocks, and the fact that there are currently no antiviral drugs to fight this particular strain make extreme caution a wise idea.

Elizabeth Redfern says:
We have wild ravens that pick of what they want from our composting area. We have a small flock of chickens that have been raised indoors (7 of them) and we intend to build a covered (with metal barn roofing and the side will be fine metal mesh due to predator issues here. We have 4 elderly ducks that spent last summer in a similar pen and it seemed to do well for them. My question is….if we are in contact with the compost area and then go to the chickens or ducks, can we carry the virus to them? We can also build a composting area that excludes the ravens but what about the mice, chipmunk and squirrels that might be able to access such areas? We also have sheep and the ravens sometimes help themselves to grain that is left by the sheep and the sheep are in contact with us daily and of course we are in contact with the chickens and ducks daily. Suggestions? We live in Northwester Ontario, Canada near lake Superior but do not have gulls frequenting this area but of course there are migratory birds which we do not feed.

Very very helpful
Sarah B says:
Hi, we have seven hens currently, and want to add to our flock. I mail ordered baby ducks that will arrive in June. Can I order kits to have these ducklings tested for H5N1? I really don't want to cancel our order, as we have been waiting five years to order ducks.
jl says:
How exactly does a virus pass from wild birds on thru backyard flocks then to commercial flocks in a sealed, biosecure environment? All of the culling i have seen in the US has happened with commercial birds that live in huge sealed poultry houses. This leads me to believe that something else is at work besides "bird flu 22"
Carla Tilghman says:
Even commercial birds live in conditions with ventilation systems. Avian flu can be shed by wild birds, and enter commercial facilities. Once in, it spreads incredibly quickly. Infected birds are culled and tested to confirm Avian flu, which is then reported to the CDC and the Department of Agriculture.
Cherry Lyons says:
Here in the UK our poultry have gone into a nationwide lockdown. All birds, whether commercial or just pets in your backyard, have to comply. That means they have to be indoors. Its so important they everyone complies or flocks will be culled. This in turn makes availability of poultry for the table and free range eggs difficult at a seasonal time. We had a similar occurence last year which locked down for 6 months!! They were released in June this year – my backyard chooks have not had time to recover properly but I have to try and keep them safe as the cases are many more than last year. Migratory birds appear to be the culprits in bringing it here. Take care and look after your girls.

Researchers develop cell-growing technology to help cancer treatments
Graduate students Kitana Kaiphanliam and Brenden Fraser-Hevlin are working to commercialize a bioreactor that is able to grow 25 times more of the valuable T cells than current technology in half the time.
By Tina Hilding, Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture
Washington State University researchers hope that their tool to rapidly grow cancer-killing T cells can someday make a difference in fighting the disease.
Under the guidance of Professor Bernard Van Wie, graduate students Kitana Kaiphanliam and Brenden Fraser-Hevlin are working to commercialize a bioreactor that is able to grow 25 times more of the valuable T cells than current technology in half the time.
They recently won a $50,000 grant through WSU's inaugural Cougar Cage competition to commercialize the technology.
They also took third place out of more than 100 teams in the 2021 University of Washington Dempsey Startup Competition. The work was spawned through a National Science Foundation EAGER, or Early-Concept Grant for Exploratory Research award, targeting "high-risk high-payoff" approaches for large scale manufacturing of therapeutic cells. Bill Davis from WSU's Veterinary Microbiology & Pathology Department is a co-investigator.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. and there are around 17 million new cases reported worldwide annually. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are the most commonly used cancer treatments, but they often harm healthy tissue. Immunotherapy, on the other hand, harnesses the power of the body's natural immune response and only targets cancer cells.
T cells are a type of white blood cell used in immunotherapy treatment. The T cells are taken from the patient's body, modified to specifically target cancer, expanded and grown to a higher density, and then injected back into the patient, allowing the patient's own immune system to fight the cancer. Current treatment, however, is limited because of the cost and time needed to grow the cells.
Cougar Cage 2021
Students, faculty and staff have an opportunity to pitch their game-changing projects in need of funding as part of the upcoming Cougar Cage event hosted by the Palouse Club.
The Cougar Cage event of 2021 is scheduled to take place Oct. 15 on the Pullman campus. As with the first event, projects can be funded for any dollar amount up to $50,000. Proposals are due by Sept. 15 and can be submitted to University Advancement's staff member Nikki Winfree via email.
Pitches will be selected for funding by the Palouse Club, a group of Cougs from the Puget Sound region dedicated to supporting the success of the university. The group has guaranteed funding for three projects, in addition to the half dozen projects supported to the tune of nearly $300,000 earlier this spring.
"It takes a long time to grow the cells, the process is inefficient, and most importantly, it's so expensive," said Fraser-Hevlin. "We're trying to make this process more efficient, faster, and less expensive, creating a more affordable option for patients."
The technology the students are hoping to commercialize was originally developed by Van Wie in the Gene and Linda Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering. Van Wie over the past four decades designed a centrifugal bioreactor to rapidly densify and expand cells for tissue engineering and antibody production applications.
"I realized that this great device that could be used to help people would stay in academia unless someone in our group focused on the business aspects and entrepreneurial guide of taking an idea to market," said Kaiphanliam. "When you believe in a technology so much, and you want it to help people, you don't want to see it stay in an academic lab."
As they continue their doctoral studies, Kaiphanliam and Fraser-Hevlin are in the process of developing a company, Ananta, to begin producing and marketing the technology. In addition to the Cougar Cage competition, they have participated in several entrepreneurial programs through WSU. Kaiphanliam, who received her undergraduate degree at WSU, said the programs have prepared them well for launching their start-up. They also received grants through the WSU Commercialization Gap Fund and the Washington Research Foundation.
They are now working to build a microwave-sized version of the bioreactor, making it more convenient for hospitals and researchers to use. They are also beginning to test their prototype using bovine T cells and designing a process control system that will help them do real-time monitoring of the cells as they're growing in the reactor. The monitoring is to address a problem called cell exhaustion, in which the T cells have a tendency to get worn out as they're stimulated by their immune response.
As they launch Ananta, Kaiphanliam says she has had a lifetime interest in helping people and is excited about the opportunity to promote a new technology that could save lives. For his part, Fraser-Hevlin saw his father survive a cancer fight a decade ago and thought for a long time about how he might make a difference in helping people manage the disease.
"It's an area that I've been interested in," he said. "With this project, I've really been able to get involved in actually developing something that's going to be valuable, useful, and hopefully help a lot of people."
The Cougar Cage competition is a new way for WSU students, faculty and staff to secure private donor support through the Palouse Club for worthwhile projects that can help build the continued success of the University.
This series explores the first six projects to survive the competition and win funding from the group.
Modeled after the popular TV show Shark Tank, the first Cougar Cage match concluded in March. Future rounds are being planned.

Q: Delta Logic implementation using SnapLogic Is there any snap available in SnapLogic to do following

*

*Connect with snowflake and get data by SELECT *  FROM VIEW

*Connect with Azure Blob Storage and get the data from csv file : FILENAME_YYYYMMDD.csv

*Take only those data which are available in 1 but NOT available in 2 and write this delta back to Azure Blob Storage : FILENAME_YYYYMMDD.csv

Is In-Memory Look-Up useful for this?

A: No, In-Memory Lookup snap is used for cases where you need to look up the value corresponding to the value in a certain field of the incoming records. For example, say you want to look up a country name against the country ISO code. This snap generally fetches the lookup table once and stores it in memory. Then it uses this stored lookup table to provide data corresponding to the incoming records.
In your case, you have to use the Join snap and configure it to an inner join.


I know I promised to share my take on what's the "indie developer" based on my filmmaking background, but I'm too tired to do it so I'm just gonna share a little thing about the game.
Ok, now seriously, since the main point in the game is "choice," you can choose from different solutions to overcome any obstacle, I thought it would be nice to let players choose to be cowards (ok, ok, to let them be "un-brave") and hide behind objects and stuff so enemies don't spot them. As you can imagine, I won't be showing you any game screenshot featuring those (since we don't have anything on Facebook about that yet, and we usually prefer to show screens on Facebook before anywhere else), but I will show you the default UT character doing the exact same thing.
If you're familiar with cover/sneak based games, then there's nothing new here, but the gameplay mechanic itself is fun. This is obviously just about a crouching pawn, and not about a fully featured "cover system" like in Gears or Mass Effect, after all, The Subject is not some sort of space marine-ess (or something?) so adding a cover system for her doesn't make sense (just like adding a climbing system, since she's no Lara Croft).
Now, if you want the pawn to fire while he (or she) is hiding, you need to make projectiles go over the blocking element since projectiles usually travel in a straight line between the spawn position and the target. For example in Batman Arkham Asylum your flying bat-thingy travels in a curved path. On the other hand this could be as easy as making your pawn raise the weapon "à la Gears of War" (AKA the blind firing).
Anyway, you get the idea, you can walk behind those small objects and enemies won't see you, and that helps you save some health (because The Subject's health goes down every time she shoots).
I'll post images of The Subject doing this soon, maybe next week. In the meantime, have a nice week!

War Powers Resolution: Guthrie Votes 'No' But Resolution Passes In House
U.S. Congressman Brett Guthrie (R). KY's second district representative, which includes Edmonson County.
Edmonson Voice Staff Report:
Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) voted against H.Con.Res. 83, Speaker Pelosi's War Powers Resolution, which passed in the House on Thursday by a vote of 224-194. It was a vote that narrowly followed party lines. He released a statement yesterday afternoon on his vote:
"President Trump acted in America's best interest when he ordered the strike that killed Iranian General Soleimani," said Guthrie. "This afternoon, I voted against Speaker Pelosi's War Powers Resolution that would undermine President Trump's authority to protect American troops in the Middle East. This resolution fully ignores President Trump's clear ongoing efforts to avoid war and bring Iran to the negotiating table, and it would further prevent President Trump from keeping our troops safe. I will continue to pray for our brave men and women abroad, and I stand ready to work with President Trump and my colleagues to negotiate with Iran on a deal that keeps our nation safe."
The resolution is currently non-binding and will now go to the Senate for a final vote.

New Sony Bravia XR and PS5 TVs will get along just fine with the new game modes
<?xml encoding="utf-8" ????>
Sony's new Bravia TVs with 2022 XR processor incorporate new recognition features for PS5 that make it easy to tune the TV for the best graphics quality in HDR games.
It seems that by wearing the logo of the same company on its case, the Sony TVs and PS5 consoles they should be better understood than on any other screen. However, that wasn't exactly the case, even when some models displayed the Ready for PS5 label.
The new generation of Sony Bravia televisions with XR processor comes with the Perfect for PlayStation 5 label, which takes better advantage of the standard HDMI 2.1 capability allowing it to recognize that a PS5 has been connected to it and automatically activate the mode Player and the necessary adjustments to take full advantage of the graphics capabilities of the Sony NextGen console.
With this new feature, the console and the TV establish a constant communication to perform HDR content with the highest fidelity achieve cinematic levels for graphics in games that support this standard.
Meet your ally to work as a team
The PlayStation 5, like the new next-gen Xbox Series X, reached unprecedented levels of graphics quality to date, to the point of exceeding the capacity of many televisions launched in the same year.
In this context, the manufacturers set out to achieve the objectives maximum coverage for HDMI 2.1 standard on their televisions in order to extend the bandwidth and reproduce content in 4K, with images in HDR and with frequencies of 120 Hz.
However, the new generation of Sony televisions with the XR processor it took a step forward and, taking advantage of the fact that it was "playing at home", they added a unique feature that will not be available on TVs from other brands. One of the features included in the HDMI 2.1 standard is the recognition of gaming devices.
When you connect a console or gaming PC to the TV, the TV recognizes it and activates the TV's Game mode and derivative functions also included in the HDMI 2.1 standard such as low latency automatic mode (ALL-M) or the variable refresh rate (VRR) to improve the gaming experience.
What is this mode impossible to tell the difference if the connected device is a PlayStation 5, a PS4, or an XBox S Series, so setting the quality and performance is not entirely accurate in all cases.
We still don't know the price of the consoles, or the final release date, but the question isn't just which next-gen console to buy, but whether we'll have to buy a new TV to get the most out of it.
What is new in this case is that the Sony XR processor detects that a PlayStation 5 has been connected to it and, in addition to adjusting the TV with Game Mode to reduce latency and adjust the refresh rate, it configure HDR settings and color profiles with HDR tone mapping to get the best picture quality that PlayStation 5 offers in every scene of the game.
This improvement of communication is two-wayso the console and TV know which model is on the other side of the HDMI cable.
This is important because there will be several models that will include the Perfect for PlayStation 5 label, but the same HDR handling is not done in a Full Array LED panel as the one in the Bravia XR X90K, who in the new panels Bravia XR X95K Mini LED or in the OLED and Bravia XR A95K QD-OLED and A90K.
Recognizing the TV you have connected to, the The PS5 adjusts the dynamic range of your HDR by matching the luminance values to the capabilities of the TV it will show it. In this way, on both sides, each device puts its full potential to achieve maximum image accuracy in HDR graphics in games.
Are you watching Netflix on PS5? Here's how Sony is improving picture quality on the new 2022 TVs
Xbox and PlayStation are more than video game platforms. The availability of apps from Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and other streaming platforms for these platforms has made it easier for many users to use them for watching series and movies.
As Hobbyconsoles pointed out, this might not be the best idea since doing it Game mode color profile is used, not cinema profiles calibrated to provide a more cinematic experience when watching movies or series in HDR.
With the arrival of the new generation of Bravia XR TVs and its improved communication with the PS5, the console will tell the TV that, although it is a gaming device, what is sent is not a game but cinematic content.
The reaction of the TV equipped with the XR processor will be to automatically switch to the Standard mode with the most suitable color profile to view the series with the quality established by its creator. In other words, even if it is a gaming device, the TV will treat the PS5 as if it were a media player or a Blu-ray.
