2021: the year in East Asian cinema
< Features
New films by Hong Sangsoo, Hamaguchi Ryūsuke and more proved arthouse and indie cinema's resilience in East Asia
By Tony Rayns
In Front of Your Face (2021)
Covid-19 hit East Asia hard in 2021. Last year's early preventative measures were, as they say, world-beating in many countries in the region, but this year's vaccination programmes have generally struggled to keep up. In consequence many cinemas were temporarily shuttered and many productions were paused.
Few East Asian filmmakers have been able to travel to international festivals, and few foreigners have been allowed to visit without lengthy, expensive quarantines. South Korea's Busan festival managed to stage a physical event this year, but with hardly any foreign visitors present; the Tokyo festival, now synchronised and allied with the more adventurous and Asian-oriented Tokyo FILMeX, is expected – at the time of writing – to go the same way.
One filmmaker who has sailed through all the obstacles is Hong Sangsoo in South Korea; his cottage-industry approach to production went largely unscathed. He premiered his winter 2020 film Introduction in Berlin in February (and won Best Screenplay), and then a brand new film In Front of Your Face (Dangsin-eolgul Apeseo) in Cannes in the summer. Typically, the two films are polar opposites. Introduction is structured in three chapters, separated in time, and shot in black and white; In Front of Your Face is in colour and more conventionally linear, although a concluding twist throws the 'truth' of much of the action into doubt. Both films, though, bring an almost spiritual dimension to the question of whether transient emotional ties can be 'authentic'; both feature characters who pray in moments of doubt and pain, plus frayed familial relationships, heavy drinking, health problems and Hong's boyish star Shin Seokho.
Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (2021)
Hong straddles the arthouse and indie sectors, both of which are proving surprisingly resilient in present difficult circumstances. Case in point: Japan. Koreeda Hirokazu has completed his Korean feature (working title: Baby, Box, Broker) and shown no great inclination to return to Japanese cinema, although he did make one miniseries episode for Japanese TV last year. His position as Japan's prime maker of exportable arthouse movies has been taken up by Hamaguchi Ryūsuke: his three-part omnibus Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (Guzen to Sozo), which won the Grand Jury Prize in Berlin this year, and three-hour Murakami adaptation Drive My Car, which won Best Screenplay and two other prizes in Cannes, will both get UK releases.
Like other prominent Japanese directors (except perhaps Yoshida Daihachi, who has a cameo in Drive My Car), Hamaguchi brings zero political awareness to his work, so anyone wanting a bit more edge must look to the indies. Sasaki Omoi's elegiac near-future fantasy Suzuki-san takes Japan's systems of social control up a notch to make their oppressiveness apparent, and questions the emperor's divinity along the way. Komatsu Takashi's Cat and Salt, or Sugar (Neko to En, mataha Sato, made with a cash award from the Pia Film Festival) is a familial satire in which none of the five central characters has a predictable narrative arc; it blends witty stylisation with subtle observation and gives Japan's social-class realities a serious poke.
Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash (2021)
Venice this year premiered arthouse titles from Thailand and Taiwan, neither fully achieved but both impressive. Jakrawal Nilthamrong's Anatomy of Time (Wela) deliberately fudges its political background and never quite gets to grips with why an elderly woman remains devoted to her adolescent sweetheart, now near to death, even after he married someone else and joined a right-wing army coup that earned him nothing but hatred and contempt. But the film has a quiet, slow-cinema power, rooted in an Apichatpong-like appreciation of the strangeness of objects and the natural world. From Taiwan, Chung Monghong's The Falls (Pubu) doesn't quite finesse the kind of metaphor he pulled off with light and shade in A Sun (Yangguang Pu Zhao, 2019), using the sound and image of a large waterfall to express a mother's mental difficulties while self-isolating with her daughter during Covid. But it boasts Chung's usual visual precision, and several peerless performances.
The headline East Asian title this year was from Indonesia: Edwin's Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash turns a knowingly pulpy novel (by Eka Kurniawan, published in translation by New Directions) into a knowingly pulpy movie, the tale of a macho but impotent trucker who channels his frustrations into violence but meets his match in an even tougher woman bodyguard. Crammed with jokes and shocks, it's the first of Edwin's four features to match the anarchic humour, quirky inventions and storytelling surprises of his brilliant early short films.

1965. Where is Che Guevara?
News from Castro's Cuba
Fidel Castro (left) and Che Guevara in the early 1960s (source)
BILL DOWNS SUBSTITUTING FOR EDWARD P. MORGAN
The most dramatic human sea-lift since the desperate World War II evacuation of Dunkirk may be in the making in Cuba. Fidel Castro's surprise offer 10 days ago to allow "any Cuban who wants, to leave the island" could not be refused by the United States. President Johnson's quick agreement to accept the refugees also appeared to have caught the Castro-ites by surprise. The rapid reaction by the White House didn't give the Havana government much propaganda time to boast how kind, sweet, and generous Fidel had become.
Now the Cuban officials appear to be trying to force the United States into an embarrassing protest against the unorganized departure of the island refugees by inviting exiled Cuban fishermen and other private boat owners to start an unauthorized freedom ferry service between north Cuba and the Florida Keys—dumping the emigres onto U.S. soil in violation of the law.
However, morally, there appears nothing the U.S. can do except welcome the refugees and try to sort them out later. It carries with it the risk of admitting some Castro agents among them. But that's nothing compared to the damage that would be done to the United States if somehow Washington could be blamed for blocking the flight of the Cuban dissidents.
Washington's Castro-ologists and other experts on Caribbean affairs are most suspicious of Fidel's motives in the sudden lifting of what might be called "the sugar-cane curtain." And there still is some question as to how high the curtain will be raised, whether Castro's offer applies only to the 15,000 to 20,000 Cuban relatives who already have applied for U.S. visas, or whether the bearded Premier really meant it when he said any unhappy Cuban was free to depart.
President Johnson's reply in his New York speech on Monday declared that "all Cubans who seek refuge in the U.S. will find it." And he called for the Red Cross and the Swiss Embassy handling Washington's affairs in Havana to make arrangements for the orderly entry of the emigres into this country, with priority going to relatives and political prisoners.
There are approximately 179,000 Cuban refugees now registered and living in this country. Most all of them have relatives, and Castro's dictatorial Communist regime has made the beautiful island a miserable place to live.
Washington officials have their fingers crossed that a volunteer fleet of refugee sailors does not attempt a mass migration across the 90-mile-wide Florida Straits. At best, it's a dangerous operation. But so was the Dunkirk rescue mission in the spring of 1940. Then England's so-called "Sunday sailors" took every shape and size of boat across the Channel to lift more than 338,000 soldiers off the beach and save the British army.
Whether Fidel Castro would allow a mass exodus of Cubans from the island seems unlikely. To permit such a migration would prove to the rest of Latin America and the world the dismal, home-grown failure of the once-vaunted Castro revolution.
There is one Cuban refugee that U.S. officials would very much like to know about. The disappearance of Ernesto "Che" Guevara, the 37-year-old Argentinian who for long was the No. 2 man under Fidel, poses one of the most puzzling mysteries on the world Communist scene. Cubans who fought with him in the early days of the anti-Batista revolt describe Guevara as the real brains of the Castro movement—a man so skilled in guerrilla warfare that U.S. military officials use his book on the subject as a text—and the most dedicated Marxist in the Western Hemisphere.
Although Fidel Castro said last week that "Che" Guevara had resigned his Cuban citizenship to go elsewhere to serve the Communist world revolution, there also are reports that the handsome revolutionary is dead or perhaps in a political prison. One story goes that Guevara became disenchanted with Moscow's "co-existence" brand of Communism after the Russian back-down on Cuban missiles. Recently he has made no secret of his support for the Stalinist "tough-line" Marxism being spouted by Communist China's leaders.
Also, Guevara was said to have clashed with Fidel himself over the Cuban dictator's growing complacency and preoccupation with the island's internal problems. "Che" yearned for the good old days when the capture of Havana was to be only the first step towards Communizing all of Latin America and then move in on the United States.
Thus, the speculation is that Guevara may have become the victim of one of two heresies—or both. Russian secret police may have liquidated him as a Red Chinese agent, or the Castro brothers may have regarded "Che" as a threat to Fidel's dictatorship and removed that threat. Or perhaps Guevara was allowed to walk out on the whole Cuban mess, to go his own way. If he's alive, then watch out, for where "Che" goes, trouble's not far behind.
This is Bill Downs, substituting for Edward P. Morgan, saying good night from Washington.

Super Moms In The Movies

Strong female characters in movies have come a long way, but there are still some things that we just don't see very often. A young heroine can be thoughtful, fight crime or both, but she's usually single, or at the very least childless. The mothers and grandmothers usually just get to be thoughtful, go soul-searching or get rescued. It's the rare female character who performs the impossible task of saving the world AND raising a kid — as if both of them weren't feats of heroism already! In honor of Mother's Day, we take a look at movie moms who get it done.

Helen Parr (Elastigirl) – The Incredibles
Pixar has received some flack in the past for not making movies with a female lead. But they definitely didn't make Helen Parr, the supermom in The Incredibles, anything less than amazing. While raising three kids and fighting to keep a marriage together, Helen does detective work and pulls off a daring rescue. And all the while, she keeps her fingers crossed that the babysitter knows what she's doing.

Sarah Connor – Terminator 2: Judgement Day
Poor Sarah Connor has a rough start in Terminator 2. Committed to an asylum, she is thought to be crazy, even by her son. All she was trying to do was stop the evil computer network that would eventually try to kill him — hardly helicopter parenting! Once she's finally out and the Terminators start appearing, this mom fights tooth and nail for her son (even when he's kind of a brat).

The Bride – Kill Bill
It's safe to say that Uma Thurman played one of the most powerful women on screen in cinema history. If you haven't seen Kill Bill: Volume 1 and 2, you might want to skip ahead right here. If you have or don't mind plot spoilers, then it's safe to say that it was all just for vengeance… at first. Beatrix Kiddo (The Bride) only found out about her child as she was preparing to get her final revenge — which just happened to be against her baby's father. Sometimes, love is complicated…

Ellen Ripley – Aliens
Lieutenant Ellen Ripley, in Aliens, may not be the biological mother of the young girl she encounters on LV-426. But that doesn't stop her maternal instincts from kicking into overdrive when young Newt is the last survivor of the doomed space colony. And Sigourney Weaver's rescue of the girl — along with her exo-suit fight with the Alien Queen — is one of the most powerful scenes of maternal love you'll ever see in a mainstream science fiction movie, or any movie, period.
Everyone's mom is unique. But there's a pretty good chance she sacrificed more than you can even dream of to bring you into this world and keep you here. Maybe she didn't use a rocket launcher or karate chop anyone (although she could have!), but rest assured she performed plenty of other feats of superhuman strength and will. The very least you can do is give her some of your love on Mother's Day.

Editors Choice Turkey blocks access to Turkish editions of Deutsche Welle, VOA
Turkey blocks access to Turkish editions of Deutsche Welle, VOA
In a move that cast a further shadow on freedom of the press in Turkey, a court on Thursday evening banned access to the Turkish editions of two international news websites operating in the country based on a demand from the country's media watchdog, the Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK).
When readers went to access these news websites on Thursday evening, they saw a notice saying that access to the website had been blocked by the decision of an Ankara court.
In February RTÜK set a 72-hour deadline for three international news agencies — the Turkish edition of VOA, the US state-owned international multimedia broadcaster; Germany's state-run broadcaster Deutsche Welle; and the Lyon-based Euronews — to apply for online broadcasting licenses.
The move has been described by media outlets as an attempt at censorship and at expansion of the Turkish government's control over domestic media to foreign outlets, which are the only source of free and independent journalism for some people in Turkey, where the majority of the media is controlled by the government.
Deutsche Welle and VOA challenged RTÜK's move and announced that they would appeal its decision and take legal action in court. As for Euronews, the news outlet removed the content that necessitated the license, hence was no longer required to get a broadcasting license, according to an announcement from a RTÜK member in April.
Following the beginning of the access ban to the two news websites on Thursday, RTÜK member İlhan Taşçı voiced his outrage over the decision, tweeting, "Here is freedom of the press and advanced democracy." Taşçı is from the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and is known for voting against RTÜK decisions in violation of freedom of the press.
In 2019 Turkey revised its media regulations to allow RTÜK to supervise online broadcasts. Since the new regulations went into effect, various streaming platforms including Netflix and Amazon Prime have applied for and received licenses.
RTÜK is a controversial agency that is accused of contributing to increasing censorship in the country by imposing punitive and disproportionate sanctions on independent television and radio stations critical of the Turkish government.
According to Reporters Without Borders (RSF), 90 percent of the national media in Turkey, which was ranked 149th among 180 countries in the RSF's 2022 World Press Freedom Index, is owned by pro-government businessmen and toe the official line.

Very good website you have got here.


Why Should I Forward My Domain?
1) You own several domain extensions of your web site (mywebsite.com, mywebsite.net, mywebsite.org for example) and you want the .net and .org sites to automatically forward to the .com version of your site when someone types in the address in their web browser.
2) Or perhaps you already have a website hosted at a free provider like AOL and you want a professional looking address instead of the long URL you�re given with the free hosts.
3) You've changed domain names and you'd like your old name to be forwarded to your new name.
Domain forwarding used to be priced at $16.99 per year, but for a limited time it�s absolutely free when you register any available domain name through 2 Create a Website. You will be able to keep this service active as long as you own your domain.
"I Already Have a Domain Name"
If you already have a domain registered some place else and you�d still like to take advantage of this free offer, simply transfer your name to 2 Create a Website for only $9.95. Then sign up for domain forwarding here.
1) Register your domain name. If you already have one, then transfer it to www.websitepalace.com first.
2) Be sure to select �Forwarding a domain� on the order form so your domain name will be setup properly.
3) If your domain already lives at 2 Create a Website, just go directly to the Domain Forwarding page.
Keep in mind that if your site is hosted at a free provider like Yahoo/Geocities you'll still have the pop-ups, banners, and all the inconveniences that come with the free web site provider because your site will still physically sit there, but at least you'll have a nice concise and easy-to-remember web site address that looks much more professional than some long URL.

How To Counter Back-To-School Anxiety
The start of the year can be a particularly hard time for kids — trying to navigate from the carefree summer to the routine of school. But, experts say, nerves and anxiety are normal.

The start of the school year can be rough on some kids. It's a big shift from summer's freedom and lack of structure to the measured routines of school. And sometimes that can build up into tears, losing sleep, outbursts and other classic signs of anxiety.
"Going back to school is a transition for everyone," says Lynn Bufka, a practicing psychologist who also works at the American Psychological Association. "No matter the age of the child, or if they've been to school before."
In the vast majority of cases, this is pretty standard stuff. It doesn't mean it's not painful — for you and your kids. Just watch this viral video -- (Andrew is now in first grade and doing fine).

Matt Every wins Arnold Palmer Invitational golf
by AFP March 24, 2014 March 24, 2014
MIAMI: Adam Scott stumbled with a chance to all-but ensure himself of becoming world number one, leaving Matt Every to claim his first PGA title at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Reigning Masters champion Scott, who led by a record seven strokes through 36 holes and by three when the day began, struggled to a final-round four-over par 76 and settled for third.
"I really think the putting let me down," Scott said on Sunday. "I am annoyed I didn't putt at all today. Poor, just out of sorts for whatever reason."
Scott, the first Australian to win the Masters green jacket, would likely have dethroned Tiger Woods atop the rankings days before he defended his first major crown next month at Augusta National.
Instead, tearful Every secured his first-ever berth at the Masters with an emotional comeback triumph by firing a final-round 70.
"It's hard. It's tough," Every said as he wiped away tears. "You never know if it's going to happen. It's nice to get it done."
Adam Scott hits his tee shot on the 13th hole during the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitation …
Every won in his 93rd US PGA start, his best prior finishes being runner-up efforts in 2012 at the Texas Open and Children's Miracle network Classic.

You can lead a shareholder to a lot of dense material, but you can't make them read it.
As I said at the Roundtable the biggest problem for retail shareholders is voter apathy in corporate elections. Nell Minow is right, most retail shareholders aren't going to read the proxy and we can't even get them to go to ProxyDemocracy.org to see how others have voted.
So, the project I announced aims to push that data to millions at Yahoo! Finance, Google Finance, the Wall Street Journal, Seeking Alpha and other sites so that investors stumble on that pre-disclosed proxy voting information when they check the price of their stocks. While there, they glance at the news feeds for any stories that might tell them the likelihood their share price will rise or fall.
Scenario: Joan and Joe shareholder check the price of Apple or Tesla and glance down to the news feed and see that CalPERS has voted. They recognize that CalPERS is a big investor and has probably given a lot of thought to how to vote. "Let's click and see." After they see how CalPERS voted and maybe why, they might just decide to cast their own proxy ballot. Even if they don't, maybe they will the next day when they see how CalSTRS voted or the day after that when another fund pre-discloses.
Step two is to provide personalized voting recommendations on all corporate proxies based on the responses of investors to a brief survey of their values. Most institutional investors don't read through most of the proxies either. They have proxy-voting guidelines, based on their values, and service providers pre-fill proxies for voting based on those voting guidelines. We can send them a proxy voting grid with all known votes of pre-disclosing funds and a column with their own possible votes, based on their survey results.
Take Action: A small group of us are trying to start a low-cost or free newsfeed on pre-disclosed votes. The most difficult problem so far appears to be getting news services interested in receiving such a feed. If you have contacts at Bloomberg, Yahoo! Finance, Google Finance, Reuters, Dow Jones or other sites, please e-mail me contact information. Additional suggestions? Post them to the SEC-IAC (see Submit comments to the Committee). Hurry; they could be making recommendations at their next meeting on April 9.


Letters to the editor are a great way to get the word out! Help MOB by writing a letter expressing opposition to fracking or fossil fuels and advocating for action on climate change. Letters about specific fracking-related issues or topics are even better. But always make sure your facts are accurate!


Have you considered working for a Canadian University? If you love to teach others and value the meaning of a quality education, perhaps an academic job or a job in education is something you should consider. A university is a whole world within itself; not only from the faculty's point of view but the students as well.
In a nutshell, the roles of universities are traditionally to discover new knowledge, teach students and participate in community engagements.
Universities and colleges too, are complex systems that involve a various number of different offices and organizations within itself and are still able to function smoothly. Contained within these unique groups, whether they are on or off campus, are a number of cultures that have been successfully grouped together. These cultural groups are extensions of individual school cultures and diverse research field cultures. The people making all those educational ecosystems are those who love to learn, who want to share knowledge with others and want to expand their own unique understanding.
Academically speaking, those who work within the culture of a particular university ultimately encourage and support the students and others to expand their minds to find better options and to simply learn about the world around them. Hence, education jobs are broader than most people may define them and fundamentally involve the traditional academic jobs as well as non-academic jobs at universities that help deliver the educational services.
To ensure that faculty members are free to pursue their intellectual endeavours without unnecessary restrictions from authorities, they enjoy a special privilege or right known as academic freedom that allows them to question everything and seek the truth wherever that may lead them.
To have a successful career in higher education, it is important to know how much universities value credentials; it is part of the academic culture. Although universities and colleges value practical experience, it is not very common that people without a formal academic degree land a great job in higher education or advance their career beyond a certain point.
Working for a university, you will be surrounded by people who hold graduate or post-graduate degrees such as PhDs, Doctorates or Masters who love to engage in stimulating explorations and expect co-workers, including support staff to understand their work and help them along the way.
So to help with the process of finding an academic job or a general no- academic job with a Canadian university, it is very beneficial that you have attended college yourself or even better have a college degree noted on your résumé.
Of course, you may accept a first job at a university to use it to advance your education. Opportunities are everywhere; on and off campus. Therefore, if you do find yourself being presented an opportunity to work for a Canadian university and do not have a degree, obtain one while working for the university; tuition is free for the staff in most cases.
Imagine how much you will learn, not only about the subject itself but about the university and the people who meet there every day to teach and learn too. A connection will form as you begin to realize how important the university, the faculty and staff and the students are. You will see as part of the faculty or staff why one needs the other.
Employment that Canadian universities offer is beneficial to everyone at every level. Academic jobs are important for the university and for society in general. The academic culture that resides on and off campus is strong and must stay that way. Working for Canadian universities is an opportunity that many enjoy.

LAsunción de Nuestra Señora - literalment Assumpció de Nostra Senyora en català - - és una església parroquial a Albalate del Arzobispo (Província de Terol, Espanya) va ser construïda entre 1581 i 1589 sobre el solar d'una església anterior, de la qual només es conserven els tres primers pisos de la torre. La seva fàbrica és de pedra de fins a la meitat de l'altura dels murs, on aquesta és substituïda per maó.

La seva planta consta de tres naus de quatre trams cadascuna i capçalera recta amb dues estades laterals, tot això cobert amb voltes de creueria estrelada. La planta rectangular només va ser distorsionada per la construcció en època posterior d'una capella en el costat sud, coberta amb cúpula i llanterna, que cavalca sobre el carrer a manera de passatge.

Als peus de la nau s'aixeca un cor alt. La il·luminació es realitza a través de finestrals oberts en arcs de mig punt doblats entre els contraforts de la nau central, de major altura i amplària que les laterals.

La façana occidental és classicista i presenta sobre la portada un finestral obert al cor, una galeria de arquillos cecs de mig punt doblegats i un ràfec pronunciat.

En l'angle sud-occidental destaca la torre d'estil mudèjar, el primer pis del qual està habilitat com a capella a l'interior i té planta quadrada, mentre que els restants quatre cossos tenen planta octogonal, amb pilar de pedra central el segon i el tercer i buits la cambra i el cinquè. Aquest últim va ser afegit al , mentre que la rematada es va afegir en època contemporània.

Tots ells presenten la típica decoració mudèjar amb motius (rombes, esquinillas, etc.) en maó ressaltat.

Pel que fa a la decoració interior, només val la pena destacar la pintura mural del cambril de la Verge de los Arcos, atribuïda a Juan José Gárate per J. Antonio Val Lisa.

Spiritual Disciplines of Advent and Christmas: Worship
It's easy to sing carols and praise God for sending Jesus on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, with candles glowing and people you love around you. It is harder (at least for me) to look ahead at a brand new untouched year and praise him for what he will do in that year. To do that, we have to ask if we really believe that he can only, ever, work for the good of those he loves.
What Difference Does Prayer Make in the World?
Do I really believe that change would come if I stopped my "actions" and "just" prayed for reconciliation and justice and provision for those in need? And do I really believe, when I am working for justice, that it's actually God who brings about the change, and not me? Most of the time, I'm not sure I do.

Unity Technologies has revealed its product roadmap for Unity 2017, the next major release of its game engine and development environment, including a scriptable render pipeline and new cinematics tools.
The features were announced during the Unity Keynote at GDC 2017.
Unity 2017: targeting photorealistic AAA content?
According to Unity Technologies CEO John Riccitiello, a major focus of the 2017 release will be to improve workflow for artists using the engine.
The release will also continue Unity's push out of its traditional heartland, indie and mobile titles, into the territory staked out by its Adam tech demo for Unity 5.
While the Adam demo proved that Unity was capable of creating the kind of photorealistic content traditionally associated with UE4, Riccitiello now sounds intent on taking the two engines head to head.
"Our ambitions for Unity 2017 are nothing short of having Unity be the best tool for making the most beautiful and amazing games," he said.
In the GDC keynote, the most fully realised expressions of that intent were Timeline and Cinemachine, which you can see demoed from 1:35:35 in the video at the top of the story.
The former is a track-based editing tool along the lines of UE4's Sequencer toolset, providing a drag-and-drop workflow for choreographing animations, events and audio.
The latter is a "smart camera system" for Unity, initially available as a third-party add-on – you can currently download the Cinemachine BaseRig free in the Asset Store – but recently acquired by Unity itself.
The system is intended to enable artists to create complex procedural camera rigs without coding.
The GDC demo showed the two toolsets in use together, including the creation of a procedural camera that automatically tracked a character's head, then blending to it from the gameplay camera.
You can read more about the tools and download an experimental preview release of Timeline here.
Another feature confirmed for Unity 2017 is a new scriptable render pipeline.
Whereas Unity currently provides two fixed C++ render loops for forward and deferred rendering, the new system will enable users to create their own custom render loops using C#.
According to Unity Technologies CTO Joachim Ante, it should enable developers to create custom render pipelines targeting specific hardware platforms or build targets.
"I think this architecture is a huge step forward for flexibility and performance in Unity," he said.
The release will also introduce a new C#-based job system, with new APIs enabling users to schedule C# jobs to "easily write safe multithreaded code".
Other features including detailed error logging and a new compiler capable of automatically vectorising code. According to Ante, Unity's aim is to "enable programmers to write C# code that outperforms C++".
After that, things get less specific, although Ante does say that visual programming will be a "key focus" of future releases, and discusses the need for a system that can be customised for individual use cases, like audio programming or shader editing.
At 01:22:00 in the video, you can also see Unity Technologies's new graphics director, Natalya Tatarchuk – previously graphics lead at Bungie – discuss what sound like considerably more blue-sky technolgies.
Examples include a new system for placing light probes within a scene procedurally; a "scalable representation" for content in which LODs are represented inherently in the asset, along the lines of a mipmapped texture; and automated asset-generation using neural-net-based deep learning techniques.
According to Unity Technologies, Unity 2017 be a "phased release", with the initial version, Unity 2017.1, due to become available in beta in April 2017.
The current stable build, Unity 5.5, is available for Windows 7 and above and Mac OS X 10.8 and above.
The software is available on a rental-only basis, with free Personal subscriptions are available to anyone earning under $100k/year. Commercial Plus and Pro packages cost $35/seat/month and $125/seat/month.


You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'bride' tag.
This late Victorian beauty in her exquisite wedding gown is an ancestor. At least, I have assumed she's part of my family. Unframed, she was among my father's possessions when I was sorting everything out after he died in 1997. Was she a Vernon marrying someone else? Was she another lady marrying into the Vernon family. She lay among a pile of other—recognisable—family photographs but I had never seen her before. There is nothing written on the back and it is too late to ask him about her identity. I have wondered ever since, a wondering that may well lead to a work of fiction!
It could be, of course, that she is from my mother's (Hoskyns) side of the family and became accidentally mixed up with my father's photographs. Her eyebrows suggest she's a Hoskyns. Alas, I will never know.
There was little restoration needed: I have merely brushed out the imperfections and made the sepia tones a little more vibrant. I almost adapted her in my usual way but when I added a French Brocante document as a faint background, Mr FND said, 'No!' He was quite right.
I did do a Google search in case the lady was a known person but all it came up with was 'Best guess for this image: Lord Tweedmouth', which made me hoot with laughter.
This charming vintage bride comes from The Old Design Shop and is the cover of a 1915 Easter edition of the American periodical, Pictorial Review. The Great War (WWI) was being waged in Europe at the time and the United States, many of whose citizens were firmly on the side of neutrality, had yet to join. American feelings about the war were encapsulated by the popular song, also from 1915, I Didn't Raise My Boy To Be A Soldier, with lyrics by Alfred Bryan, music by Al Piantadosi and sung by Ed Morton. This sheet music cover comes from Wikipedia.
Music Hall – not just a lovely war?

Erythromycin is one of those antibiotics that is super vital for treating many conditions. It is useful in the treatment of a wide variety of bacterial infections that can affect the human body. These bacterial infections can beinfection of the respiratory organs, infections in different areas of the skin, sexually transmitted diseases like chlamydia infections, swelling of the pelvic regions etc. There are several ways of intake for Erythromycin. It was first used in 1952 and since then it has made its way onto the World Health Organizations most useful and safe drugs to use list. Needless to say, it is a World Health Organization approved drug. Since it is used for treatment of many types of bacterial infections, it is a common drug that is found in all parts of the world. In the developing world, it is available for as cheap as $0.03. It might be more expensive in developed countries.
When patients have hypersensitivity to antibiotics.
When patients are taking other drugs like astemizole, terfenadine, pimozide, cisapride etc.
Erythromycin has a pregnancy rating of B, which means that there is no risk of using this drug during pregnancy.
Erythromycin can be ingested in various ways such as through tablets in the mouth, as drops in the eyes as well as intravenously.

Maria Dmitrievna Perveïeva (, née en  à Zadonsk dans le gouvernement de Voronej et morte au plus tôt en 1934) est une militante du parti socialiste révolutionnaire, enseignante, députée à l'assemblée constituante russe.

Biographie
Maria Perveïeva est issue d'une famille de paysans. Elle a suivi les cours pédagogiques supérieurs, avec comme spécialité enseignante. Elle prend part à partir de 1894 à ces cercles d'auto-formation, et est arrêtée pour la première fois cette année, puis en 1901. Elle adhère aux organisations socialistes révolutionnaires de Valouïki.

En 1905, avec A. I. Pelenkiny, R. I. Voudber et l'enseignant P. V. Goubovy, elle met en place des cercles révolutionnaires dans tout l'ouïezd, en organisant de nombreuses réunions illégales de paysans.

En 1906, elle devient membre du Comité du parti socialiste révolutionnaire (SR) du gouvernement de Voronej. Elle s'occupe de la propagande parmi les paysans, et est alors à nouveau arrêtée, mais immédiatement libérée par les paysans. Elle émigre alors, puis revient en 1907 en Russie. En  elle rentre dans la commission paysanne du comité des SR de Voronej. Encore une fois arrêtée, elle est condamnée aux travaux forcés.

Lors de la révolution de 1917, elle est en exil à Irkoutsk. À l'automne 1917 elle est élue à l'assemblée constituante russe sur la liste  (socialistes révolutionnaires) du district électoral de Voronej. Elle est une des  membres de cette assemblée, sur plus de .

Dans la période soviétique elle fait partie de la société des condamnés aux travaux forcés et des exilés politiques. Elle a passé au total  de sa vie dans les prisons tsaristes.

Q: Optimizing code by eliminating 'for' loops I have this code I'm working with and it has so many for loops. Here is a part of the code which is most confusing to optimize due to the dimensions.
calcobj_i <- function (X, iter, pa)
{
    ww = rep(0, pa$n)
    for (k in 1:pa$K) {
        w = iter$cw[k] *
                dmnorm(X, iter$center[k,], iter$Lambda[,,k] %*%
                t(iter$Lambda[,,k]) + iter$Psi[,,k])
        w = w*(w>=0)
        ww = w+ww
    }
}

Here iter and pa are lists containing vectors and matrices like lambda, cw, center, and Psi with dimensions specified above and X is a matrix. dmnorm is the multivariate normal density function which gives a vector of values.
I want to know how to use apply, lapply or any other transformation on these type of functions.

Fees, passes required at state parks, wildlife areas starting Friday, May 8
Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control | Division of Fish and Wildlife | Division of Parks and Recreation | Date Posted: Wednesday, May 6, 2020
Reduced cost state park pass available for those on state assistance, including unemployment
The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control announced today that it will reinstate entry fees and park pass requirements at all Delaware State Parks and require a Conservation Access Pass to enter state wildlife areas starting Friday, May 8.
DNREC also announced that those receiving Unemployment Insurance benefits can receive an annual park pass for $10, and those passes can be purchased online for those on unemployment as well as other state or federal assistance. The Assistance Pass Program was already available to those on General Assistance, Medicaid, Social Security Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infant and Children (WIC) or Purchase of Care, but was only available with an in-person application.
On March 16, DNREC suspended entry fees, park passes and access passes until April 30 to allow Delawareans to be active outdoors and to provide space for activity, and the free period was then continued.
For the safety of the public and for employees, a number of limitations and requirements will remain in place in parks, wildlife areas, fishing areas and boat ramps, including:
Entrance booths at parks will not be staffed, so visitors without a park annual pass will pay the daily fee via automated credit card machines or the self-registration envelopes at park entrances.
Bathrooms will remain closed or unavailable at parks, wildlife areas, fishing areas and boat ramps.
Beaches remain closed except for exercising, dog-walking and surf fishing under very limited conditions, per the Governor's state of emergency orders.
Playgrounds, campgrounds and park offices continue to be closed and tours and other activities in parks will not yet resume.
Visitors to parks, wildlife areas, fishing areas and boat ramps must have masks with them, and must wear them when social distancing from others cannot be maintained.
The Governor's requirement that out-of-state visitors must quarantine for 14 days upon entering Delaware before visiting parks, wildlife areas or other public spaces remains in effect.
"As the state's businesses take small steps toward reopening on Friday, we will start our delayed fee season for parks as well, since 65 percent of the funding that runs our state parks system comes from visitor fees. And we are extending our discounted Assistance Program annual pass to those on unemployment for the first time ever," DNREC Secretary Shawn Garvin said. "Like businesses, we still need some limits out of concern for health and safety, so we will not yet back to full operations but hope to take more steps soon."
Delaware State Parks
State park entrance fees for vehicles registered in Delaware are $4 at inland parks and $5 at ocean parks. Fees for out-of-state vehicles are $8 at inland parks and $10 at ocean parks. Entrance fees will remain in effect through Nov. 30, which is the normal fee season end date.
Annual passes and surf fishing permits may currently only be purchased online, as all state park offices remain closed to the public, with annual passes for Delaware vehicles at $35 and for out-of-state vehicles at $70, with discounts for seniors, military and others. Those who purchase an annual pass before June 1 may place their receipt of purchase in the window of their vehicle to use state parks while waiting for the pass to arrive via mail. For information on pass and permit fees, go to www.destateparks.com/Know/PassesTagsFees, which includes a link to apply for the reduced cost Annual Pass Assistance Program for those on state and federal assistance, including unemployment.
Delaware Fish and Wildlife areas
A Delaware Conservation Access Pass is required for any registered motor vehicle that's used to access most of state wildlife areas. Conservation Access Passes are available as annual passes, which may be used from July 1 through June 30, or as three-day passes, which may be used for three consecutive days. The conservation pass provides needed funding to help the Division of Fish and Wildlife maintain and improve public access, facilities, and wildlife habitat on state wildlife areas. Conservation Access Passes may be purchased and more information is available online at https://dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/fish-wildlife/conservation-access-pass/.

Eastern Shore Residents To Be Impacted by Trump Administration S - WBOC-TV 16, Delmarvas News Leader, FOX 21 -
Eastern Shore Residents to be Impacted by Trump Administration SNAP Rule Change
Tuesday, December 10, 2019 4:00 PM EST
Wednesday, December 11, 2019 7:23 AM EST
SALISBURY, Md.- Nearly 700,000 people in the U.S. will lose food stamp benefits. That comes after the Trump Administration formalized stricter work requirements for recipients of SNAP.
This is supposed to impact adults ages 18-49, who are childless and not disabled. According to the USDA, 2.9 million adults on the SNAP rolls were able-bodied and did not have dependents, and 2.1 million were not working.
"We have some grown people here that need to go to work, they really need to get off their behinds and go to work," said a local resident.
But hunger advocates have said the change does nothing to help people find work and only removes a benefit from people already challenged to make ends meet.
The Maryland Food Bank says with a change like this, an estimated 30,000 individuals in the area will need additional support.
Jennifer Small, the director from the Maryland Food Bank Eastern Shore, says a change in food stamp benefits will have a significant impact on people in need.
"What we're going to see is these network organizations that we partner with, who are already working up maximum security, to meet the need are going to have a greater challenge because we're struggling to meet the need today and if we increase that going into next year it's going to be even harder to make sure our families have food on the table," said Small.
According to Small, if SNAP benefits are cut, this impact could affect one in nine Eastern Shore residents.
"Four of the top most food insecure counties are here on the Eastern Shore: those are Dorchester, Wicomico, Worcester, and Somerset counties, high pockets of food insecurities based off of their population that are recipients of SNAP benefits," Small said. "Removing those benefits continues to make those food insecurity numbers grow."
The new regulations are expected to go into effect next April.

Die Norge war ein 1881 unter dem Namen Pieter de Coninck in Dienst gestelltes Dampfschiff, das ursprünglich einer belgischen Reederei gehörte, aber 1889 an die dänische Thingvalla-Linie verkauft und in Norge umbenannt wurde. Sie transportierte Passagiere und Fracht von Kopenhagen über Oslo nach New York. Am 28. Juni 1904 lief die Norge auf die Untiefe Hasselwood Rock in der Nähe der Felsinsel Rockall im Nordatlantik und sank; von den 795 Menschen an Bord kamen 625 (nach anderer Darstellung 635) ums Leben. Der Untergang der Norge war die bis dahin größte Schifffahrtskatastrophe auf dem Nordatlantik und wurde erst 1912 von der Titanic übertroffen. Außerdem gilt sie als eines der schwersten Schiffsunglücke in der Geschichte der Auswanderung des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts.

Geschichte
Die Norge wurde von dem belgischen Unternehmen Theodore C. Engels & Co. aus Antwerpen in Auftrag gegeben und von der schottischen Werft Alexander Stephen and Sons am Fluss Clyde gebaut. Sie lief unter dem Namen Pieter de Coninck vom Stapel, ihr Heimathafen war Antwerpen. Sie verfügte über zwei aus Stahl gebaute Decks, sechs Schotts und einen doppelten Boden. Sie konnte insgesamt 1100 Passagiere in drei Preisklassen aufnehmen, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf der Dritten Klasse mit einer Kapazität von 900 Personen lag. Am 18. Juni 1881 wurde das fertige Schiff der White Cross Line, einer belgischen Reederei mit Sitz in Antwerpen, übergeben. Eine Woche später, am 25. Juni 1881, lief das Schiff in Glasgow zu seiner Jungfernfahrt nach New York aus.

1889 wurde die Pieter de Coninck von der dänischen Schifffahrtsgesellschaft Dampskibs Selskabet Thingvalla (besser bekannt als Thingvalla-Linie) gekauft und in Norge umbenannt. Die Thingvalla Line war 1880 gegründet worden und hatte ihren Hauptsitz in Kopenhagen. Um die Jahrhundertwende war sie eine der dominierenden Reedereien, was die Auswanderungswelle von Skandinavien in die Vereinigten Staaten anging. Die Pieter de Coninck wurde noch im selben Jahr umgebaut und auf der Route Stettin–Kopenhagen–Oslo–Kristiansand–New York eingesetzt.

In den folgenden Jahren kam es wiederholt zu Unfällen. Am 3. Januar 1890 lief das Schiff vor Oslo in dichtem Nebel auf Grund. Es gab keine Todesopfer zu beklagen, aber das Schiff schlug leck und die Passagiere mussten auf zwei andere Schiffe verteilt werden. Ab dem 13. Januar fanden in Göteborg die Reparaturarbeiten am Rumpf des Dampfers statt. Am 2. August desselben Jahres kollidierte die Pieter de Coninck im Hafen von New York mit der Advance. Am 20. August 1898 kam es zum ersten tödlichen Zwischenfall, als die Pieter de Coninck an der Neufundlandbank das Fischerboot Coquette rammte und versenkte, wobei 16 der 25 Fischer an Bord ums Leben kamen. 1898 wechselte das Schiff erneut seinen Besitzer, als die Thingvalla Line von der dänischen Reederei Det Forenede Dampskibs-Selskab (DFDS) übernommen wurde und die neue Unterabteilung Scandinavian American Line formte. Die Norge transportierte nun Passagiere von Kopenhagen via Oslo nach New York.

Untergang

Auf dem Weg nach Rockall
Am Mittwoch, dem 22. Juni 1904 lief der Dampfer in Kopenhagen zu einer weiteren Überfahrt nach New York aus. Das Kommando hatte Kapitän Valdemar Johannes Gundel (1864–1931), der die Norge bereits seit 1901 befehligte. An Bord befanden sich 68 Besatzungsmitglieder und 405 Passagiere, darunter 134 Kinder. Zwei Tage später, am 24. Juni, erreichte die Norge den Hafen von Oslo, wo 232 weitere Passagiere an Bord kamen. Am selben Tag lief sie in Kristiansand ein, wo 90 Reisende zustiegen. Hier fand auch eine Sicherheitsinspektion durch norwegische Behörden statt. Eine Rettungsübung wurde allerdings während der gesamten Reise nicht durchgeführt. Es befanden sich nun insgesamt 795 Personen auf dem Schiff, neben den 68 Mannschaftsmitgliedern 727 Passagiere, darunter 200 Kinder unter 12 Jahren und 23 Säuglinge. Der größte Teil der Passagiere stammte aus Skandinavien und Russland, es gab aber auch vereinzelte Deutsche, Briten und Amerikaner darunter.

Nach dem Ablegen von Kristiansand dampfte die Norge in nordwestlicher Richtung auf Pentland Firth zu, eine Meerenge zwischen dem schottischen Festland und den Orkney-Inseln. Der eigentliche Kurs wäre die nördliche Umschiffung der Felseninsel Rockall gewesen, aber Kapitän Gundel entschied sich für einen südlicheren Kurs. Er hatte dies in der Vergangenheit bereits öfter getan und sah darin keine Gefahr. Er ging davon aus, dass man bei gutem Wetter und ruhiger See auftauchende Klippen rechtzeitig bemerken würde und sie umgehen könne. Zudem wollte er die Felseninsel rechtzeitig zur Morgendämmerung passieren, sodass die Passagiere sie beim Frühstück in der aufgehenden Sonne sehen konnten. Daher hielt die Norge ab dem Abend des 27. Juni mit Höchstgeschwindigkeit auf Rockall zu.

Kapitän Gundel hatte jedoch nicht die in jener Nacht herrschende starke Strömung berücksichtigt. Sie brachte die Norge auf einen Kurs, der 23 Meilen nördlich von dem lag, den der Kapitän eigentlich nehmen wollte. Am frühen Morgen des 28. Juni entschied sich Gundel für einen Kurswechsel nach Süden, konnte aber aufgrund des wolkenverhangenen Himmels und starkem Nebel seine Position nicht exakt bestimmen. Als er sich sicher war, dass er südlich genug fuhr, um nicht auf die Felsen zu laufen, ließ er erneut einen westlichen Kurs einschlagen.

Kollision und Untergang
Eine Viertelstunde nach der letzten Kursänderung, um 07:45 Uhr am 28. Juni 1904, prallte die Norge auf das zu Rockall gehörende Felsenriff Hasselwood Rock und lief auf Grund. () Da sich das Schiff mit den Wellen bewegte, ging die Schiffsführung davon aus, dass man nicht auf dem Riff festsaß, sondern es nur gestreift hatte. Gundel befahl "volle Kraft zurück", um sein Schiff von den Felsen wegzubekommen, aber es nützte nichts mehr. Der leck geschlagene Dampfer war so schwer beschädigt, dass sich sofort an mehreren Stellen Seewasser in den Schiffsrumpf ergoss und er Schlagseite bekam. Gundel befahl das Herablassen der Rettungsboote, von denen es nicht genug für alle an Bord gab.

Auf dem sinkenden Schiff herrschten katastrophale Zustände. Das Bootsdeck war in Sekundenschnelle mit panischen Passagieren überfüllt, die nach Schwimmwesten suchten und zu den Booten stürmten. Viele von ihnen trugen nur Nachthemden oder waren halbnackt. Da viele Boote von den Massen gestürmt wurden, bevor sie überhaupt zum Herablassen fertig waren, setzten die Offiziere Pistolen ein, um die Menschen in Schach zu halten.

Ein Rettungsboot sank nach dem Zuwasserlassen, weil es vollkommen überfüllt war, ein anderes kenterte nach dem Aufschlag auf das Wasser. Ein weiteres hing noch vollbesetzt in den Davits, als die Norge unterging, und warf seine Insassen in die See. 20 Minuten nach dem Zusammenstoß sank die Norge mit hunderten Menschen an Bord. Nach dem Untergang des Schiffs breitete sich ein großer Teppich aus Leichen, Schwimmern, Trümmern und geborstenen Rettungsbooten über der Untergangsstelle aus. Nur fünf der acht Boote waren erfolgreich vom Schiff freigekommen. Kapitän Valdemar Gundel blieb bis zuletzt auf der Brücke und wurde nach dem Untergang von einem der Boote aus dem Wasser gezogen und gerettet.

Rettung
Die fünf Rettungsboote trieben weit auseinander und wurden teilweise erst Tage später gefunden. Die spärlich bekleideten Menschen mussten Regenfälle und schwere See überstehen und hatten kaum Wasser oder Proviant an Bord. Mehrere Passagiere in den Booten starben in den Tagen auf See, bevor Rettung eintraf. Boot Nr. 3 mit 28 Menschen an Bord wurde bereits am 29. Juni von dem britischen Trawler Salvia geborgen, die Überlebenden wurden in die englische Hafenstadt Grimsby gebracht. Die 71 Menschen in Nr. 1, darunter der Kapitän, wurden von dem deutschen Dampfschiff Energie am 3. Juli gefunden und nach Stornoway auf den Äußeren Hebriden gebracht. Am selben Tag wurde Nr. 8, das für 23 Menschen konstruiert war, mit 35 Überlebenden an Bord von dem Frachtdampfer Cervona der britischen Cairn Line entdeckt, die die Insassen ebenfalls nach Stornoway brachte. Am frühen Morgen des 4. Juli entdeckte das schottische Fischerboot Largo Bay die 17 Schiffbrüchigen in Boot Nr. 5 und brachte sie nach Aberdeen. Der Schoner Olga Pauline brachte 19 Personen aus Boot Nr. 4 am 5. Juli zu den Färöer-Inseln.

Von den insgesamt 795 Menschen an Bord der Norge kamen 625 ums Leben. 170 Personen wurden gerettet, davon waren 146 Passagiere und 24 Mitglieder der Mannschaft. Es überlebten 117 Männer, 16 Frauen und 37 Kinder. Vor allen Dingen Norwegen und Dänemark waren von der Tragödie betroffen, da der größte Teil der Passagiere von dort stammte. Es handelte sich um das bis dahin schwerste Schiffsunglück auf dem Nordatlantik. Unter den Geretteten befand sich auch der 18-jährige Herman Wildenvey, der später einer der bekanntesten norwegischen Lyriker des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde. Das Unglück verarbeitete er in seiner 1937 erschienenen Autobiographie Vingehesten og verden (Mein Pegasus und die Welt).

Dänische Untersuchung
Während die Passagiere ihre Reise in die USA fortsetzten, wurden die überlebenden Besatzungsmitglieder der Norge nach Kopenhagen gebracht. Das dänische Seefahrtsgericht unter Vorsitz von Gerichtspräsident J. N. A. Madvig wollte sie anhören und herausfinden, wie es zu dem Unglück gekommen war. Der Seemann Carl Mathiesen traf als erstes Mannschaftsmitglied am 7. Juli in Kopenhagen ein. Madvig befragte ihn noch am selben Tag unter vier Augen in einer nichtöffentlichen Sitzung. Die Gerichtsberater, Admiral Bruun und Kapitän Torm, waren erst ab der zweiten Anhörung am 10. Juli dabei. Madvig entschied sich, den gesamten Prozess nichtöffentlich durchzuführen, um die Presse auszuschließen, die Reederei zu schützen und einen Skandal zu vermeiden. Somit lag die gesamte Untersuchung in seiner Hand, die Presse war auf die Gerichtsprotokolle angewiesen.

Da 224 norwegische Staatsbürger bei dem Unglück ums Leben gekommen waren, sandte das norwegische Ministerium für Schifffahrt und Navigation unter der Leitung von Magnus Andersen einen Fragenkatalog an das dänische Gericht.

Die offiziellen Anhörungen und Untersuchungen wurden schließlich vom dänischen Justizministerium durchgeführt und zogen sich über mehrere Jahre hin. Man kam zu dem Ergebnis, dass eine "nutzlose Mannschaft" und "sehr viel Pech" zu dem Unglück geführt bzw. dazu beigetragen haben. Der Kapitän und seine Besatzung wurden als Hauptverantwortliche genannt. Folgende Punkte führte das Gericht als Fehlentscheidungen und Unglücksursachen an:

 Die Entscheidung, Rockall südlich zu passieren. Diese Strecke war gefährlicher als der nördliche Kurs, zudem verkehrten südlich von Rockall viele Schiffe in östlicher Richtung. Somit bestand das Risiko einer Kollision mit einem anderen Schiff.
 Die Strömungen im Pentland Firth, die als sehr stark bekannt waren, wurden nicht bedacht.
 Die Entscheidung, dicht an Rockall vorbeizudampfen, um es den Passagieren zu zeigen. Das Gericht bezeichnete es als "Russisches Roulette mit dem Leben von 800 Menschen".
 Die Durchführung einer Vier-Strich-Peilung in einem Seegebiet mit starken Strömungen. Die Schiffsleitung hätte wissen müssen, dass eine solche Art der Standortbestimmung in Gewässern mit Strömungen nicht durchführbar ist.
 Das Versäumnis, die Besatzung ausreichend auf eventuelle Notsituationen vorzubereiten. Es hatte keine Notfall- oder Rettungsübungen gegeben, und die Crewmitglieder waren nicht mit den Sicherheitsausrüstungen auf dem Schiff vertraut.

Auch die Reederei DFDS und die Dampfschifffahrt im Allgemeinen wurden angeprangert. DFDS wurde vorgeworfen, mehr an ihrem Profit als am Wohlergehen der Passagiere interessiert zu sein und daher nur das Nötigste an Rettungsmitteln auf dem Schiff installiert zu haben. Zudem hatte die Reederei nicht aus vorhergehenden vergleichbaren Unfällen gelernt. Seefahrtsexperten forderten darüber hinaus eine Überarbeitung und Verbesserung der zu oberflächlichen Sicherheitsregelungen auf Passagierschiffen.

Widerhall in der Presse
Die Vorgänge um den Untergang der Norge, insbesondere die Vorwürfe gegen Kapitän und Besatzung, riefen vor allem in den New Yorker Zeitungen ein lebhaftes Echo hervor, da die Nachricht mitten in die Ermittlungen gegen die Eigner des Raddampfers General Slocum hinein platzte, dessen Brand über 1000 Menschen das Leben gekostet hatte.

Smartphone OS shootout: Android vs. iOS vs. Windows Phone
Apple iPhone is hurting Android
Elgan: The rise and rise (and rise) of Apple's iOS
Apple's other growing platform, the Mac
Android vs. iPhone and iPad by the numbers
How does Google's mobile operating system stack up against Apple's in the smartphone and tablet markets? We look at the data.
By Sharon Machlis
Executive Editor, Data & Analytics, Computerworld |
It looks increasingly like Android will be the major challenger to both Apple's iPhone and iPad.
In the tablet market, Apple's iOS has a commanding lead, while Android is the only other OS that registers a market share in double digits. In the smartphone arena, there are other significant competitors, such as BlackBerry and Windows. However, BlackBerry market share is dropping, according to comScore's latest survey -- in fact, Apple surpassed RIM in comScore's April report -- while Microsoft has yet to make much of a dent.
How do Apple's iOS and Google's Android stack up head to head? We look at the numbers.
Tablet market share
Source: Gartner
The iPad held a commanding 83.9% of the worldwide tablet market last year, with Android tablets far behind at 14.2%, according to Gartner. Other stats show a similar healthy lead. For example, a recent Modelmetrics Web survey found 83% of respondents planning to roll out iPads in the enterprise and 34% with plans for Android tablets.
However, Gartner expects the market-share difference to narrow considerably over the next few years, with iOS holding 47.1% by 2015 and Android growing to 38.6%.
Bottom line: iOS should remain the market leader for the next few years, but Android is expected to grow considerably -- largely at Apple's expense.
Smartphone market share
Source: comScore MobiLens 3-month average of US smartphone subscribers.
Despite its reputation as a groundbreaking smartphone when first introduced in 2007, the iPhone doesn't have the market clout of the iPad. Apple has slightly more than a quarter of the U.S. smartphone market, according to a comScore MobiLens report, but IDC estimates just 15.7% of the global pie .
And some analysts expect the iPhone to slip worldwide in the coming years as both Android and Windows Phone gain traction. IDC predicts that Windows Phone will be the No. 2 OS behind Android worldwide by 2015, with iOS in third place.

Neuro Linguistic Programming(NLP) is the study of what works in thinking, language, and behavior. It provides a systematic framework for directing our brain and body. It defines the way how we code and produce excellence which enables us to achieve the results that we want in each area of life.
NLP training in India is conducted by Ram Verma for Certification Training in India, Course- Master Practitioner for corporate and individuals at Delhi and various cities.
Depression poses a lot of challenges for the person who suffers from it. It kills creativity and also suppresses immune system, which further leads to various diseases in the body. It affects health, money and relationships.
In fact, depression is the result of the subconscious imprints of past pain, guilt or losses. These imprints become ongoing unresolved issues in the mind and keep killing the energy of positive life. What we need to is to eliminate these patterns off the subconscious mind.
Once we erase those patterns and implant the new ones of 'Hope' and delightfulness, the person starts enjoying new patterns of positivity.
Here are seven NLP SubConscious ReImprinting steps that will help you come out of these painful syndromes of depression.
Option Two: You can ask for the Audio Course with 7 NLP SubConscious ReImprinting Exercises that will be launched shortly in April 2017.

3DSen VR (formerly known as 3DNesVR) is an emulator tool that runs Nintendo Entertainment System games in VR, letting you play the '80s and '90s classic titles that made the console a world-wide phenomenon.
Update (April 22nd, 2019): 3DNesVR, in its original form, was removed from Steam some time ago. However the new rebranded emulator, named 3DSenVR, has been reapproved for use on the platform. The free demo is back, along with an appended 'Mid 2019' launch date for the full product. The free demo is said to include support for more than 40 10 classic games, however you'll need the applicable ROMs to make use of it; 3DSen VR is only an emulator!
Original Article (October 23, 2018): Created by Geod Studios and first launched on itch.io in May 2017, 3DNesVR is finally heading to Steam, with support for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Windows VR headsets.
3DNesVR automatically turns NES games into a sort of 'pop-out' 3D version of the 2D game (not included), and lets you play it natively via SteamVR and Oculus runtime. While there are controls that let you adjust how the 3D effect renders, Geod Studios has created a few presets and tips in its 3DN Repository.
The full release, slated to launch on January 21st, will support what Geod calls "massive games" including both classic and modern homebrew NES ROMS.
Supported controllers include gamepad, Steam controller, and system-specific VR motion controllers.
For obvious legal reasons, 3DNesVR doesn't provide ROMS, so you'll have to obtain them yourself and plug them in like any other standard emulator.
If you're looking for a decidedly more modern emulating experience, Dolphin VR does a surprisingly good job with Nintendo Wii and GameCube games, although the project seems to have been put on hold since mid-2016.
You can also use the most recent Dolphin emulator in 3D Side By Side mode then use Bigscreen to play on a large 3D screen, not quite VR but still 3D.
There's already a build of Dolphin with proper VR support floating around, you could just use that instead.
+1. Mario Kart Wii in VR is insanely fun.
Adapting an old game's essence to a new medium like VR can be brilliant. Straight porting a two dimensional game into VR with a simulated third dimension seems as unimaginative as using television to display a book's pages.
And yet, curiously, e-book readers are a thing.
It's not possible to download the demo from steam. The demo page leads to the non demo page. Maybe someone else managed to find a work around?
Yep, then you click on it and the non demo page comes up lol.
It is a great project – it's very cool to play classic NES games in virtual reality.
It's a brilliant idea for an emulator, very outside-the-box, but I'm not sure it works well AS an emulator. By adding a dimension to something that actually works based on NOT having it, perceiving where an element is on screen could become very difficult. It's solid for the platforms, backgrounds, and most enemies, but projectiles fired at you become harder to properly gauge. The Megaman example alone shows a projectile that appears to hit Megaman in the head, but in a 2D view you'd have seen it clearly missed.
..its the same "box" that has been kicking around for 30+ years.
No more likely than for a regular NES emulator, which I'm pretty sure has never had that happen about.
An emulator does not have an intention to make money out of it, selling your thing on steam does. But it seems Nintendo got to them, same goes for Duck Hunt Vr.
Hmm, I guess that's true – I don't think I've ever seen an emulator that wasn't free. Nintendo got to them? They got cease and desist letters? Source?
Well there is Cemu, but with Nintendo going after year long fan projects and rom sites recently (that did happen) they don't even care if someone makes money out of it or not, but saying if you try to gain money from it they are more quicker to get removed i guess.
I have no official thing about official letters on those 2 games, that is just my guessing.
Tried Contra using the emulator, and it looks fantastic, but unable to get the joystick controller on the left Oculus touch to map properly… Up, down, left and right controls are all broken, so I'm unable to control the game… Mapping the thumb and top trigger buttons for start and select worked fine, and even mapping the A button (to make character jump) worked, but for some reason it would not let me map the B button! Also, why not enable right oculus touch controller support, or have both enabled?
Jesus Christ died for you too,He is alive !
please stop disrespecting him on this site. This is not a place to preach to be seen of men.
Mods please ban him if this continues.
you have no idea how much i appreciate this. I want to view Christians as kind open minded people like you and not like him.
Can someone figure out how to get this troll banned from Disqus?
you know Disqus allows you to block him, right ?
Pretty amazing experience, to play these classic NES games in VR.
