Is Among Us coming to Nintendo Switch?
Will Among Us come to the Nintendo Switch in the future?
Donovan Erskine
Among Us has taken the gaming world by storm in recent weeks. Two years after its initial release, the game saw leaps in popularity after being picked up by popular streamers and content creators. The game supports cross play, though is currently only available for PC and mobile devices. With more and more people wanting to play the party deception game, folks are wondering, will Among Us come to Nintendo Switch?
As far as we know, neither Nintendo or developer Innersloth have spoken about plans to bring the popular party game to Switch. However, there is hope. With the sudden spike in interest, Innersloth will be hard at work bringing new content to the game for players to enjoy. It's quite likely that expanding the game to more platforms is a part of these plans.
Add on top of that the fact that the Nintendo Switch has become a hub for indie titles, and it seems like a no-brainer for both parties to want Among Us on Switch. The only factor that could throw a wrench in here is Nintendo's strict approach to online games. The company has become infamous for being overly cautious in how players interact on their platforms. With Among Us being heavily reliant on player communication and interaction, things could get a bit tricky.
With the immense popularity and success that Among Us is seeing on Steam and mobile app stores right now, one would think that other platforms would be eager to add the party game to their catalog. Only time will tell, but as of now, there are no known plans to bring Among Us to Nintendo Switch.
(Update: There were no known plans for much of 2020, but InnerSloth and Nintendo saved a big surprise for the end of the year. During the December 15, 2020 Indie World presentation, Nintendo announced that Among Us would release on Switch that same day. It will be free and support cross-platform play with the PC and mobile versions of the game.)

It seems like a odd fit with the reliance on text-based chat. The touch screen could allow for easy text entry, but running docked would be tough. Some of the mini games would be weird with a controller too. Again, handheld would be pretty good, but docked? Ew. Haha

This, the first Protestant Church in the Taliaferro area and originally called Bethel, was established in 1802 by Rev. Jesse Mercer and Rev. James Matthews on land given by William Janes, one of Georgia's largest planters. The first pastor was Rev. James Robertson; first deacons were John Walker and Etheldred Wilder. Known widely for its liberality, this church granted the use of its building to other denominations while their churches were being organized. Many fiery political speeches have been made in the church building. The present structure was erected in 1889.

Benchmarks: Intel's Sandy Bridge
Using a battery of benchmark tests, we take a detailed look at the performance of Intel's new Sandy Bridge processors.
Written by Kai Schmerer, Contributor on Jan. 5, 2011
The second generation of Intel's 32nm Core Processor Family, codenamed Sandy Bridge, introduces a new microarchitecture that delivers significant improvements in energy efficiency.
New Advanced Vector eXtensions (AVX) make for faster floating-point performance, while AES New Instructions help to deliver a significant increase in encryption performance. The latter are not included in all Sandy Bridge processors: only Core i5 and i7 models offer AES-NI (which is supported, for example, by TrueCrypt 7.0a), with Core i3 and Pentium models missing out.
All Sandy Bridge processors include integrated on-die graphics with, depending on the processor model, 12 or 6 GPU execution units. However, the new graphics solution still doesn't offer enough performance for demanding games. Overclocking is possible on 'K' variants thanks to the unlocked multiplier, although the integrated Turbo Boost function is likely to prove sufficient for most users. S and T variants, with 35W and 65W power envelopes respectively (compared to 95W for standard models) are particularly energy efficient.
Core-i7, i5 and i3 processors based on Sandy Bridge are available now, and cost between $127 and $317. Pentium variants will appear during the first quarter of 2011.
Sandy Bridge CPUs require a Socket LGA-1155 motherboard such as the Gigabyte GA-H67A-UD3H
Sandy Bridge processors require a Socket LGA-1155 motherboard with the new H67 or P67 chipset. The H67 chipset provides connections to the CPU's integrated graphics unit, while the P67 is designed for systems with a discrete graphics card. The number and type of motherboard connections depends on the particular product: the Gigabyte GA-H67A-UD3H, for example, offers HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort and a D-Sub connector. The GA-H67A-UD3H's four DIMM slots can hold a maximum of 16GB of DDR3/1333 memory. There is no USB 3.0 support on the H67 and P67, so motherboard manufacturers must deliver this functionality via a separate controller chip (Gigabyte provides two USB 3.0 ports on the GA-H67A-UD3H).
The PCMark Vantage test suite determines the performance of a system running applications under Windows Vista or Windows 7. The benchmark comprises a number of 'consumer scenarios' (Digital Memories, TV and Movies, Gaming, Music, Communications, Productivity and HDD), with the PCMark score denoting the average performance. The top score (17,028) was achieved by the system with the Core i7-2600K and discrete ATI Radeon HD 5870 GPU; the same system with Intel's integrated HD Graphics in place of the Radeon HD 5870 came third with a considerably lower score (14,884). The reason for this is a very weak performance in the individual 'GPU image manipulation' test (see below).
Windows 7 SP1 RC1 64-bit, ATI Radeon HD 5870 (1,024x768, 4xAA, 16xAF), 8GB DDR/1333; longer bars are better
Some programs, including Truecrypt 7.0a, now support AES New Instructions (AES-NI), which Intel introduced a year ago with its Clarkdale processors. There are 12 new AES encryption commands in total.
In the Truecrypt 7.0a test, the quad-core Sandy Bridge processors (Core i7-2600K and Core i5-2500K) come out clearly on top. The benefit provided by AES-NI support is clear when you compare the dual-core Core i5-661 (1,500MB/s) with AMD's six-core Phenom II X6 1100 (795MB/s). Intel's quad-core Core i7-870 — which, like AMD's chip, has no AES-NI support — delivers the worst result of all (504MB/s) in this test.
Windows 7 SP1 RC1 64-bit, ATI Radeon HD 5870, 8GB DDR/1333; longer bars are better
Under a different encryption method, AES-NI brings no advantage. Here, the Phenom II X6 competes very well with the Intel competition.
Thanks to Microsoft's DirectCompute API, certain computationally intensive tasks can make use of the GPU to boost performance under Windows Vista and Windows 7. Cyberlink's MediaShow Espresso 6 supports Sandy Bridge's integrated graphics: in tandem, the Core i7-2600K and HD Graphics converted a test video in 10 seconds, compared to 14 seconds using the CPU alone. Although ATI's HD Radeon 5870 is significantly more powerful than Intel's integrated GPU, there's no advantage evident in this test.
Windows 7 SP1 RC1 64-bit, ATI Radeon HD 5870, 8GB DDR/1333; shorter bars are better
The test with World in Conflict shows that Intel's new GPU is not suitable for demanding 3D games. The test systems fitted with ATI's HD Radeon 5870 achieved 45-56 frames per second, compared to Intel HD Graphics' paltry 3fps.
Windows 7 SP1 RC1 64-bit, ATI Radeon HD 5870 (2,048x1,152), 8GB DDR/1333; longer bars are better
Intel's new Sandy Bridge architecture represents a big step in energy efficiency, as is evident in the system power consumption results. In sleep mode, the Core i7-2600K/HD Graphics system draws only 33 watts. With ATI's Radeon HD 5870 the figure rises to 53W — almost 20W less than the Core i7-870 system with the same GPU. The new Intel H67 chipset probably also makes a contribution to the more frugal energy budget.
A similar pattern emerges under full load. The Core i7-2600K/HD Graphics system draws 135W, rising to 151W with the ATI Radeon HD 5870, while the Core i7-870/ATI system draws 206W. The most power-hungry system under full load is the one powered by AMD's Phenom II X6 (244W).
In addition to the overall PCMark score, Futuremark's PCMark Vantage suite provides various test scenarios. The Memories scenario measures the system's performance when handling digital photos and video. This test is remarkable for the relatively weak performance of the Core i7-2600K with the integrated HD Graphics rather than the discrete ATI Radeon HD 5870.
Within the Memories scenario, the 'GPU image manipulation' test uses the GPU's shader units for colour correction and other image processing tasks. The discrete ATI Radeon 5870 achieved 932fps in this test, while Intel's integrated HD Graphics managed only 83fps (see below) — hence the latter's poor overall result.
Economical, fast new features
To use the AVX unit, which offers enhanced floating-point performance under Windows 7, you need Service Pack 1. Unfortunately, this update is currently only available as a Release Candidate, although Microsoft plans to ship the final version soon. AES-NI is supported by Windows by default, but application support for the instruction set is also required. As the TrueCrypt 7.0a reaults show, the new Sandy Bridge processors can deliver impressive results with everything in place.
Sandy Bridge's integrated HD Graphics processor cannot match high-end solutions from AMD and Nvidia when running demanding 3D games. When it comes to video playback and video encoding, however Sandy Bridge is competitive. In December, Apple announced its intention to use Sandy Bridge graphics in its upcoming MacBooks.
Intel's new Sandy Bridge processors represent a successful development of the Core microarchitecture. In addition to much-improved memory performance and significant instruction set extensions, the new chips are particularly impressive in terms of energy efficiency. It's a shame that the existing Intel LGA-1156 platform does not allow a CPU upgrade. To use the new Sandy Bridge processors, you must have a new motherboard with Socket

This is the value of my text field :)

A: Using jQuery, also handling the empty condition when there is no value present
inp = $("#inputId");
var orgValue = parseInt(inp.val() == "" ? "0" : inp.val());
inp.val((orgValue == NaN ? 0 : orgValue) + 1);

A: var elm = $(this).parent("div").children("input");
var val = elm.val();
val = Number(val) == NaN ? 0 : Number(val);
elm.val(val + 1);

Change Default CIDR IP Range
You can configure Kube API Server with many different options:

*

*when bootstrapping the cluster via kubeadm init --service-cidr <IP Range>

*Change kube-apiserver directly (kubelet periodically scans the configurations for changes)

sudo vim /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.yaml

*

*Note that with option number 2, you are going to get The connection to  the server IP:6443 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
error for a while, so you have to wait a couple of minutes to kube-apiserver start again...

*The new CIDR block only applies for newly created Services, which means
old Services still remain in the old CIDR block, for testing:

kubectl create service clusterip test-cidr-block --tcp 80:80

Then Check the newly created Service...

Oskar Albert Karl Schabert (* 27. November 1866 in Grobin/Kurland; † 7. Januar 1936 in Bad Nauheim) war ein deutschbaltischer lutherischer Theologe und Pfarrer. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch sein Baltisches Märtyrerbuch, mit dem er von Bolschewiken ermordeten Pfarrern (darunter Traugott Hahn) ökumenisch ein Denkmal setzte.

Leben
Oskar Schabert wurde am 27. November 1866 in Grobin in Kurland geboren. Seine Eltern waren der Kantor Albert Schabert und Caroline, geb. Eilenberg. Seine Ausbildung erhielt er zunächst am Gouvernements-Gymnasium in Riga und später an der Universität Dorpat, wo er Theologie studierte. Seine ersten Anstellungen erhielt er bei der Stadtmission in Berlin, dann bei der Seemannsmission in Hamburg. Als er 1894 Pastor der St.-Gertrud-Gemeinde in Riga wurde, übernahm er den Gedanken der Inneren Mission und gründete verschiedene Hilfsvereine, unter anderem eine Seemannsmission, Vereine für Innere Mission und die "Bruderhilfe für Russland". Er selbst wurde 1915–1917 nach Sibirien verbannt und war 1919 in bolschewistischer Haft. Danach arbeitete er zunächst in Hamburg, erhielt die Ehrendoktorwürde der Universität Greifswald und wurde 1929 Vizepräsident des Internationalen Verbandes für Innere Mission.

Oskar Schabert war auch durch seine Veröffentlichungen bekannt. Neben dem Baltischen Märtyrerbuch machte er im Russisch-Evangelischen Pressedienst (R. Ev. P., auch: Evangelium und Osten) der deutschen Öffentlichkeit viele Zeitzeugnisse zugänglich.

Familie
Oskar Schabert war zweimal verheiratet: 1894 heiratete er Elise (Elsa von) Kaull, die 1932 verstarb. 1934 heiratete er Adelheid Löhe.

Who is heading down to the Lewiston race from up here?
Best of luck to everyone, hopefully there will be some photo's and updates for those of us who can't make it.
Ya good luck boys, I think Whitey, GORD a d Garrett are going!
Frank and Kelly are there too. Having a blast I understand.
14 or 15 boats started yesterday, 11 or 12 boats started today, saw Rogers' old sport jet staging but didn't go up? Miss Ede broke suction housing on leg 2, out. Boice elected not to participate until his mid-range cavitation issues are solved. Overall standings after day 1: Humphrey 36:16, Whiteside 38:15, Rogers 40:24.
Gordy, Whitey, Ryan Rogers and Frank ,,,,,,,, Overall.
Gina has some crazy big air footage of Frank on Facebook.
Dave, you have a link, would like to see the video?
Here are some spectators-full curl mountain sheep ram on the beach with his harem of about 20-sorry about the picture quality-quick snaps with cell phone camera on lowest setting pictures taken on the Idaho side about 4 miles from the finish line (which was at Bear Bar)-about the same distance from the end of the road at Heller Bar on the Washington side. I think that is Hal Bamping in picture 070 on the left.
Here is a snapshot of the times for the top 5 boats-This is UPSTREAM times from Hells Gate Marina to Bear Bar on Sunday- As far as I could figure it is about 32 miles. It is 25 miles from Hells Gate to Hellers Bar and another 7-8?? from Hellers Bar to Bear Bar. Gord is the 18:15, Dale is the 20:16, Ryan Rogers is the 20:25, and if I remember correctly Frank is the 21:23. IF the course is 32 miles Gord averaged 105mph. Dale was about 95mph. Ryan Rogers in a CX boat averaged just over 94 mph and Frank in a CX averaged 90.....all against the current!
Overall average speeds across 4 legs, 128 miles total.
Dale needs to get his mojo back....hope he finds a few more seconds here or there next year to keep Gord honest....nice finish to a great season Whitey and Gord!!!
Who had the "Dirty Oil" boat? Great name!
Surprised "Green Piece" droids Didn't try to chain themselves to it!
Anyone have a list of boat names and crews to post! Leg times, etc?
Hey what a great weekend, racing was great, weather was hot, people as always were the best. Hot aug nights car show and cruise were too much fun. And as you can see ,I even seen some sheep by Ryan's cabin -very cool.


Brody at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.
Taking acting classes as a child, by age thirteen he appeared in an Off-Broadway play and a PBS television film. After appearing in Bullet in 1996 with Tupac Shakur and Mickey Rourke, Brody hovered on the brink of stardom, receiving an Independent Spirit Award nomination for his role in the 1998 film Restaurant and later praise for his roles in Spike Lee's Summer of Sam and Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line. He received widespread recognition when he was cast as the lead in Roman Polanski's The Pianist (2002). To prepare for the role, Brody withdrew for months, gave up his apartment and his car, broke up with his then-girlfriend, learned how to play Chopin on the piano, and lost 29 lbs (13 kg). The role won him an Academy Award for Best Actor, making him, at 29, the youngest actor ever to win the award, and to date the only winner under the age of 30. He also won a César Award for his performance.
Brody appeared on Saturday Night Live on May 10, 2003, his first TV work, controversially giving an improvised introduction while wearing faux dreadlocks for Jamaican reggae musical guest Sean Paul. Other TV appearances include NBC's The Today Show and on MTV's Punk'd after being tricked by Ashton Kutcher.
After The Pianist Brody appeared in four very different films. In Dummy (released in 2003 but originally shot in 2000, just prior to his work in The Pianist) he portrayed Steven Schoichet, a socially awkward aspiring ventriloquist in pursuit of a love interest (his employment counsellor). He learned ventriloquism and puppetry for the role (under the tutelage of actor/ventriloquist Alan Semok) convincingly enough to perform all of the voice stunts and puppet manipulation live on set in real time, with no subsequent post dubbing. He played Noah Percy, a mentally disabled young man, in the film The Village, by M. Night Shyamalan, shell-shocked war veteran Jack Starks in The Jacket, writer Jack Driscoll in the 2005 King Kong remake, and father-to-be Peter Whitman in The Darjeeling Limited by Wes Anderson. King Kong was both a critical and box office success; it grossed $550 million worldwide and is Brody's most successful film to date in monetary terms. Additionally, Brody played a detective in Hollywoodland. He has also appeared in Diet Coke and Schweppes commercials as well as Tori Amos' music video for "A Sorta Fairytale".
On January 5, 2006, Brody confirmed speculation that he was interested in playing the role of The Joker in 2008's The Dark Knight. However, Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. decided instead to cast Heath Ledger in the role. He was also in talks with Paramount to play Spock in J. J. Abrams Star Trek XI, but it ultimately went to Zachary Quinto. In 2010, he starred in Splice, a science fiction film written and directed by Vincenzo Natali. Originally a Sundance film, Splice was adopted by Dark Castle Entertainment and distributed by Warner Bros. Most recently, he played the star role of Royce in Predators (a sequel to the original Predator), directed by Nimród Antal and produced by Robert Rodriguez.
In 2011, Brody starred in a Stella Artois beer ad called "Crying Jean" that premiered right after half-time of the Super Bowl XLV as part of Stella's "She Is a Thing of Beauty" campaign. He appeared in Woody Allen's 2011 Academy Award-winning comedy Midnight in Paris as Salvador Dalí. On January 16, 2012, Brody made his debut as a runway model for Prada Men Fall/Winter 2012 show.
In 2014, Brody collaborated again with Wes Anderson in the Academy Award-winning The Grand Budapest Hotel, where he played Dmitri. The following year, he starred as Tiberius in the Chinese film Dragon Blade, which grossed $54.8 million in its opening week in China.
Brody began dating Spanish actress Elsa Pataky in 2006. For Pataky's 31st birthday in July 2007, Brody purchased her a 19th-century farm in Central New York state that was remodeled to look like a castle. Brody and Pataky were featured at their New York home in a 35-page spread for HELLO! magazine in October 2008. The pair broke up in 2009.
In 2010, Brody sued the Giallo filmmakers, alleging that they failed to pay his full salary.

EMPLOYMENT BRIEFING – 5 JUNE 2020 THE UPDATES TO THE CORONAVIRUS JOB RETENTION SCHEME ("CJRS") FOR FURLOUGHED EMPLOYEES
Following Rishi Sunak's announcement on Friday 29 May 2020, further guidance has now been released regarding the continuation of the CJRS for furloughed employees. It has been confirmed that the CRJS will continue until 31 October 2020, meaning that many employees will be furloughed for 8 months in total.
The CJRS will continue in its current form until 31 July 2020.
With effect from 1 August 2020, the CJRS will continue with some significant changes, which are summarised in this Briefing.
1. Important timing requirements
CJRS will close to new entrants from 30 June 2020. From this point, employers will only be able to furlough employees who have previously been furloughed for at least a full three-week period prior to 30 June 2020.
This means that the final date by which an employer can furlough an employee for the first time is 10 June 2020.
From 1 July 2020 the scheme will only be available to employers who have previously used the scheme in respect of employees that they have previously furloughed.
2. Gradual reduction of Government grant – increased costs for employers from 1 August 2020
From 1 August 2020, the level of the CRJS grant will gradually be tapered down.
Initially, in August, employers will only be required to pay employer NICs and compulsory employer pension contributions arising in respect of furloughed pay. The Government will still reimburse the employer the full 80% of a furloughed employee's gross pay (subject to the £2,500 monthly cap). Employers may already be paying the 20% balance to employees and this would continue in accordance with any agreements reached with employees.
In September, the employer will also be required to pay 10% of an employee's gross pay while on furlough, so the Government pays 70% and the employer pays 10%.
In October, the balance of payments will change again, with the employer paying employer NICs and compulsory employer pension contributions arising in respect of furloughed pay, together with 20% of that furloughed pay, with the Government's contribution dropping to 60%.
The table below from the Guidance summarises the position:
July August September October
Government contribution: employer NICs and pension contributions Yes No No No
80% up to £2,500 80% up to £2,500 70% up to £2,187.50 60% up to £1,875
employer NICs and pension contributions
– – 10% up to £312.50 20% up to £625
Employee receives 80% up to £2,500
80% up to £2,500
This means that CJRS will become increasingly expensive for employers from 1 August 2020.
3. New Flexible Furlough from 1 July 2020
From 1 July 2020, employers will be able to bring furloughed employees back to work for them part-time. Although they will continue to be able to claim the CJRS grant for the employees' unworked normal hours, they must pay employees' full contractual salary for any hours worked (plus taxes and national insurance contributions due on salary) .
In other words, employees can be brought back to work on a reduced time basis and remain "furloughed" for their non-working time. This is different to the previous version of CJRS, where employees were not permitted to do any work for their employer.
For example, an employer will be able to ask an employee who ordinarily works 5 days per week to return to work 2 days per week, but keep them furloughed for the remaining 3 days. The employer can claim under CJRS for the 3 non-working days, but must pay their contractual salary for hours worked on their 2 working days per week.
Any time split between furlough/working time can be agreed, depending on business needs, and the arrangement can be altered from time to time. The new arrangement must be agreed in writing with the employee.
Further guidance will be published on 12 June 2020. As with previous iterations, the devil will be in the detail and we will keep clients updated here.

n unique experience: fly in balloon above the Tuscan landscape. A perfect idea for a gift!
Passengers could reach our Balloon Port in Tavarnelle Val di Pesa (at 500 metres from Antica Pieve B&B), or can be driven to the departure field by the courtesy car and accompanied by a member of the crew, with extra cost.
Rides last from 45 minutes to one and a half hours, during which, thanks also to smooth flying conditions, you may take the opportunity to shoot wonderful images of exclusively Tuscan landscape: admire the infamous "red-roofed" towns and follow the course of bashful wild animals taking "flight" in the fields below…. The first light of dawn creates the magic frame for the scene your eyes are observing.
Costs are 250,00€ each passenger (included Chianti breakfast).
We consider booked a flight with a credit card number in warranty.
Children minimum 12 year old.
No flight, no money. If you cancel your booking we will keep the 20% on total.
Cancellation of the flight due to weather or mechanical reasons will not result in a charge to your credit card. Flight cancellations due to these reasons are at the sole discretion of the chief pilot.
There are no refunds for No-Shows and either your credit card will be charged 100% of the full purchase price or voidance of gift certificate will occur.
Pregnant women or those who may think that they are pregnant or persons who have a medical condition, which in the pilots' opinion could be aggravated in the event of a hard landing, will not be able to participate in the hot air balloon adventure.
Safety is our highest priority for our passengers.
Special price for the guests of Antica Pieve B&B, Euro 220 per person instead Euro 250.

Q: Is the wait(timeout) unreliable ? after the timeout, the thread will also need to compete for the own of the monitor or the lock.
then, at the worst case, this could be a long time, and much longer then the timeout
is it?

A: Yes. You have no guarantee when the thread will next execute. Just that it will happen sometime after the sleep time
Things like the ScheduledExecutorService mitigate this with scheduleAtFixedRate but they still cannot guarantee that it will run exactly at that time.
To avoid this you need a Real Time Operating System.
However in practice most computers are fast enough that this just isn't an issue unless you are doing something that is incredibly time-critical. The thread will execute within miliseconds of your desired time most of the time.

This recipe is easy enough to do while making dinner. It uses the complete egg without needing to separate the white from the yolk, or find a way of using up the whites.
Beat in juice and zest.
Beat in the butter. It will lumpy. don't try to make it smooth.
Microwave on high for up to 8 minutes, until sufficiently thick, whisking every 2 minutes.
Pour into hot clean jars and seal immediately.
Note: I doubled the recipe to get the 3 jars showing in the photo.
After making this I saw a recipe suggesting creaming the butter and sugar first, then adding the zest, eggs, and juice, to make the curd very smooth. I'll try it on my next batch.

These stunning gourd boxes are handmade in Peru, in a village of 50 families where gourd carving has been practiced for generations. They come to us from Lucuma Designs, a member of the Fair Trade Federation. There were so many lovely designs that it was hard to select just a couple to show you!
So if you want something out of the ordinary for storage of small items, here's something to consider.
i really like the owl gourd. it reminds of an antique McCoy cookie jar that my mom has.


Dictionary based enumeration is another technique to find sub-domains with generic names. You can discover sub-domains by testing common words as subdomains, sometimes even bruteforcing through the possible space of alphanumeric characters. If a non-guessable named subdomain is out there, bruteforcing can sometimes find it. And if you recursively bruteforce each subdomain found, you are on a good path to find assets that may have been forgotten about.
Subbrute DNS meta-query spider that enumerates DNS records, and subdomains.
DNSRecon is a powerful DNS enumeration tool, one of it's feature is to conduct dictionary based sub-domain enumeration using a pre-defined wordlist.
Permutation scanning is another interesting technique to identify sub-domains. In this technique, we identify new sub-domains using permutations, alterations and mutations of already known domains/sub-domains.

This pop-up prefab cocoon can immerse you in the heart of nature
Immersing yourself in nature without leaving the comfort of your room may sound too good to be true, but that's exactly what French architect and civil engineer Christophe Benichou set out to achieve with the LUMISHELL. Created in the shape of a cocoon, this prefabricated curved dwelling blurs the distinction between indoor and outdoor space with LUMICENEs, a patented reversible window concept. The LUMISHELL is designed for placement in a variety of exotic environments—even in Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat that experiences below freezing temperatures.
Clad in a protective aluminum skin, the 40-square-meter LUMISHELL comprises all the needs for a comfortable, long-term stay including a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room. The bedroom and living room are located at opposite ends of the curved dwelling and wrapped by LUMICENE, a curved glass sliding door that opens up to transform the room into an outdoor space. Curtains attached to the LUMICENE rails allow for privacy and protection from solar gain, while the shape of the structure is optimized for natural cross ventilation.
Related: Cover installs its first prefab dwelling "for the masses" in L.A.
"Both rooms provide unique panoramic views and can be occasionally transformed into outdoor spaces to enhance the feeling of being transplanted in the middle of vast scapes," wrote the architect. "Various mirrors also create reflections that diffuse the landscape in the heart of the dwelling." The self-supporting and prefabricated LUMISHELL can be assembled on site in as little as four days—not including hookups—and does not require foundations. The LUMISHELL is currently available for pre-orders and is expected to ship out for first installations in 2018.

, is a Japanese light novel series by Isao Miura, with illustrations by Luna. All 16 volumes have been published by Media Factory under their MF Bunko J label. A manga adaptation by Kōtarō Yamada started serialization in the seinen manga magazine Monthly Comic Alive on March 27, 2009. The first tankōbon was published June 23, 2009. A 12 episode anime adaptation by Manglobe studios aired from October 3, 2009 to December 19, 2009.

Plot
Forty-four years ago, a great war known as the Valbanill War ravaged the land. One of the war's most dangerous weapons was the Demon Contract, where humans sacrifice their bodies to become powerful demons. Realizing the damage the contracts have caused the land, the surviving nations made peace and banned the use of the Demon contracts.

Cecily Campbell is a 3rd generation Knight from Housman, one of the cities of the Independent Trade Cities, a democratic federation of cities. As her grandfather was one of the founders of the Independent Trade Cities, she is proud of her heritage and wishes to protect her city as a knight, like her father and grandfather before her.

Characters

Protagonists

A 3rd generation knight from The Knight Guards of Housman, the Third City of the Independent Trade Cities. Her grandfather, a former nobleman who became a knight, was one of the founders of the Independent Trade Cities during the Valbanill War. After the war ended, the Campbell family served as knights protecting the city's independence. When her father died of an illness, Cecily took up the role of the head of house, and thus became a knight. She believes strongly in justice and the protection of the city and its citizens, so much that she hesitated to kill a possessed citizen attacking the city. Cecily is a strong, smart girl with great leadership skills, evident early when she leads a group of knights and mercenaries against a band of thieves and monsters.

A blacksmith of great skill and renown and is also a talented swordsman. Possessing dark brown hair and blue eyes with his left eye made of glass (his real eye was used to create Lisa), he is arrogant, private and often insensitive to others. He lives with Lisa, who aids him in his work and often accompanies him on his business. He comes to know Cecily after saving her repeatedly from certain death. Luke wields a Japanese katana and employs a unique sword-fighting style, which is uncommon in a land where most people use a longsword and shield. He also possesses extraordinary blacksmith skills, aided by Lisa's magical powers.
Although Luke often criticizes Cecily for her inadequacies, he has slowly come to accept her. Her will to protect the city and all its citizens reminds him of Lisa Oakwood, the love of his youth. After his encounters with Cecily, Luke has also come to appreciate Lisa. He becomes increasingly worried that Lisa is living a lifestyle that he has forced upon her. After his confrontation with Lisa about her true feelings, he confesses his regret in forcing the burden of his past onto her and wishes for her to walk her own path. At the end, Luke promises that they will be together forever. Eventually, Luke falls in love with Cecily. At the end of the novels, the two marry, and have two children.

A little girl who is a live-in assistant to Luke. Lisa is actually a demon born from Lisa Oakwood, Luke's childhood best friend. Although unconfirmed, it is suggested that in order to protect Luke forever, Lisa Oakwood made a Demonic Pact before being killed by Valbanill and sacrificed herself to create Lisa.
Lisa greatly resembles Lisa Oakwood when she was young, possessing similar traits, including blonde hair, purple eyes, and elven ears. She has a sweet personality and is very polite. Lisa is also able to create a large magical fireball that enables Luke to forge katanas in the heat of battle. Lisa loves Luke and her life revolves entirely around him. She has proven herself very capable of household chores and takes delight in doing them. In addition, Lisa assists Luke in the forge. When confronted by Luke about her true feelings, Lisa reveals that while she is very happy being with Luke, it also pains her because she is only a "duplicate". She shoulders the burden of Luke's past and knows that her existence reminds Luke of it. However, Lisa confesses that her one wish in life is to remain by Luke's side forever. Three hundred years after Valbanill is sealed away, Lisa is still alive and unchanged in appearance. She is the teacher of Luke and Cecily's descendants whom she has watched over for three centuries and makes the sacred sword that finally frees Aria.

The demon sword of wind. Aria is special in that she can transform into a human. In her human form, she is beautiful, light-hearted, romantic and very feminine. Her exact age is unknown but she has memories reaching back to the Valbanill War where she was born of a demon contract on the battlefield. Her past is filled with murder and carnage and Aria has come to accept that such is her fate as a demon sword. However, after meeting Cecily, she has learned that there are those who wield swords not for the purpose of killing but protecting. Because of this, she has become incredibly fascinated with Cecily and the two form a powerful bond which enables them to become stronger. As a demon sword, Aria is able to sense other demon swords. Throughout her stay with Cecily, she meets other demon swords like herself, which prompts her curiosity. She is particularly interested in how she was born and how she is able to take a human form. Her transformation into a sword is invoked with the chant: . At the end of the novels, Aria is revealed to be the sacred sword needed to seal Valbanill away. She sacrifices herself, but Cecily promises to make a sacred sword to replace her so that she can be free. After 300 years, Luke and Cecily's descendants and Lisa, their teacher and guardian, free Aria by creating a new sacred sword to be used in her place.

Media

Light novels

Manga
The manga was announced simultaneously with the anime adaptation, on the wraparound jacket of the fourth light novel volume. Artist Kōtarō Yamada launched the series in Media Factory's Monthly Comic Alive magazine on March 27, 2009. The ninth volume announced in February 2015 that the series would end in its tenth volume, and the last chapter was published in the magazine's March issue on January 27, 2016.

Tokyopop announced their license to the series in November 2010, with the first volume scheduled for June 7, 2011. However, the publisher shut down on May 31, 2011, with all of its titles reverting to their original owners. The series was licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment in October 2012.

Anime
An anime adaptation was announced on the wraparound jacket for the fourth light novel volume. The series was directed by Masamitsu Hidaka and written by Masashi Suzuki, with animation by the studio Manglobe. The series character designs were provided by Jun Nakai. The opening theme is "Justice of Light" by Mayumi Gojo while the ending theme is  by Aki Toyosaki. The series aired from October 3, 2009 to December 19, 2009.

The series was licensed by Madman Entertainment in Australia and New Zealand, Manga Entertainment in the United Kingdom, and Funimation in North America. Funimation later announced that it would release the series uncut on DVD after streaming the edited version online. The series was one of the first of Funimations's relaunched collector's edition line of series, receiving a limited edition containing an art booklet. It was broadcast on the Funimation Channel starting on August 8, 2011.

Reception
The light novels have sold over 780,000 copies. Chris Schmitt wrote "Sacred Blacksmith has a very odd take on the fantasy genre, mixing moe character designs similar to K-On! with some deep, and sometimes dark, fantasy elements."

Theron Martin of Anime News Network gave the anime series a B concluding, "Although The Sacred Blacksmith stumbles in places and fails to fully develop its setting or carry through on the plot threads it establishes, it nonetheless achieves an occasional and undeniable level of sincerity in its characters' convictions and interactions and at least partly delivers on its potential. It may be far from the elite fantasy titles out there, but even within its genre you could certainly do far worse for a pleasing diversion."
