Two Hand-Painted Volumes of Coleoptera Illustrated by Francis du Boulay
Seventh page of illustrations in volume one of a hand-painted volume of Coleoptera illustrated by Francis du Boulay, c.1880 – 1890 / Collection: OLDERSYSTEM~03048, Museums Victoria Archives / Source: Biodiversity Heritage Library.
Earlier this year Dr. Simon Leslie, Francis Houssemayne du Boulay's great-grandson, contacted Melbourne Museum about accessing du Boulay's hand-painted Coleoptera volumes, held in the Museums Victoria Archives. Dr. Leslie and family accessed the physical volumes in February 2020. While I carefully supervised flipping through the pages of these volumes, I was intrigued by their aesthetic, and scientific and historic, value. Since then, the volumes have been digitised by Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) Australia.
Portrait of Francis Houssemayne du Boulay, n.d. / Photographer: J. Fisher / Source: Accession number 2009.75, National Portrait Gallery, Australia.
Francis Houssemayne du Boulay was born in Sandgate, Kent, on 24 January 1837. As a young man in his early 20s, he migrated to Perth (c.1858). A scientist, entomologist, natural history artist, and Coleoptera (beetle) collector, du Boulay began to collect specimens in locations around Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and other parts of Australia. He settled in Beechworth, Victoria, where he lived out the rest of his life; du Boulay passed away on 12 January 1914.
In volume one of du Boulay's hand-painted Coleoptera volumes, inside the front cover, is a handwritten inscription in ink, "F. H. Du Boulay 1880". Du Boulay commenced work on the volume in 1880; however, it is likely that the work continued for several years. The cover also features a note handwritten in pencil, "Names in lead pencil inserted by H. M. Giles W. Australia (Du Boulay)". Annotations inscribed in pencil are corrections by Henry Murray Giles, who assisted du Boulay in identifying scientific names of specimens. Giles worked as a Resident Keeper (1898) and later Head Keeper (1909 – 1910) at the Zoological Gardens, South Perth, Western Australia. Giles wrote an article in the Western Australian Year-Book for 1900-01 entitled "A Glimpse of Western Australian Entomology" (see pp. 285-297).
A total of 179 Coleoptera specimens are illustrated in volume one. Locations are noted where the specimens occur; however, the locations often only indicate the state where they were collected, for example New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia; or a town or city, for example Cape York, Cardwell, Rockhampton, Brisbane. Some specimens identify the sex. It would be interesting to note if the colours used are scientifically accurate. Are the specimens drawn to scale? This would require the physical volume and specimens for comparison.
On the back of the volume is a sketch, in pencil, of a childlike illustration of a man, which is accompanied by an inscription, "W. Du Boulay". This is an illustration of Francis du Boulay's brother William, who was a fellow naturalist and collector. The yellow cover of the volume inscribed "DRAWING BOOK E. R. COLE BOOKSELLER AND STATIONER, SYDNEY" is well used, worn and has many inkblots. It has evidence of accompanying du Boulay in the field on his collecting trips around Australia.
Volume two is also well worn with inkblots on the cover. It has a leather-bound spine and leather corners protect the cover; otherwise the volume has no distinguishing features or title page. As in volume one, the specimen illustrations are printed, then hand coloured. Not all of the specimens are identified with their scientific names. The illustrations appear to be to scale. Specimens are illustrated from a dorsal perspective. Locations of where the specimens were collected are sometimes documented. Again as in volume one, the location is only noted from which state, for example, Queensland, Western Australia, Northern Territory, South Australia, New South Wales; or towns, cities, waterways or mountain ranges, for example Blue Mountains, Richmond River, Ropes Creek, Thompson River, Cairns, Coopers Creek, Cape York, Cooktown, Princess Charlotte Bay, Cleveland Bay, Port Mackay. The sex of the specimen is also sometimes identified.
Twelfth page of illustrations in volume two of a hand-painted volume of Coleoptera illustrated by Francis du Boulay, c.1880 – 1890 / Collection: OLDERSYSTEM~03048, Museums Victoria Archives / Source: Biodiversity Heritage Library.
While carefully presenting these volumes to Dr. Leslie, we were both surprised to come across several pages in the second volume containing beautiful Lepidoptera illustrations. Twenty-one Lepidoptera specimens are beautifully illustrated, but unfortunately do not include their scientific names or the locations where they were collected. Simon Hinkley, Collection Manager in Entomology at Museums Victoria, noted that the "Lepidoptera illustrated are detailed enough for identification purposes, for instance, the bottom left corner [see above] is a Caper White and the bottom middle specimen is a Spotted Jezebel."
Fifteenth page, loose rough sketch and inscription by Professor Frederick McCoy, first director of the National Museum of Victoria, interleafed in volume two of a hand-painted volume of Coleoptera illustrated by Francis du Boulay, c.1880 – 1890 / Collection: OLDERSYSTEM~03048, Museums Victoria Archives / Source: Biodiversity Heritage Library.
Dr. Thomas Darragh, Curator Emeritus at Museums Victoria, identified the loose sheet of paper interleafed in volume two, see above, as Professor Frederick McCoy's handwriting. McCoy was the first director of the National Museum of Victoria, predecessor of Museums Victoria (1854 – 1899). While not an entomologist, he was a paleontologist, geologist, zoologist, academic and keen collector for the National Museum of Victoria, and he was clearly interested in this volume, enough to incorporate a rough sketch of a "Phaneroptera (Serv)". Simon Hinkley noted the Phaneroptera is an old genus name of katydids in the subfamily Phaneropterinae and was described by Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville in 1831.
Volume two includes a loose letter with illustrations of beetles from "Mr. Span, Rooke's Farm, West Drayton, Middlesex". The letter includes illustrations of two specimens from North Queensland—one from New South Wales and one from the "Interior of Continent." An inscription below the address on the letter, written in pencil, "Compared with British Mus. Specimens by Mr Span for Mr Du Boulay", notes that specimens held by the British Museum have been compared with specimens collected by du Boulay. A few pages following the loose letter is a specimen that has been hand-drawn from the dorsal and cross section with inscription "Schizorhina Mnizechii Larry" (an unpublished name), and beside this is an inscription, "Drawings by Mr Span from originals in Brit. Museum".
Some of the specimen illustrations in volume two include cross-sections of the heads and magnified studies of the legs. Volume two has a total of 220 Coleoptera and 21 Lepidoptera illustrations, compared to a total of 179 Coleoptera specimens illustrated in volume one.
The National Museum of Victoria purchased several Coleoptera specimens from Francis du Boulay and his brother William (1880-1912), such as the beautiful Castiarina erasma (Carter, 1935), Dilochrosis atripennis (Macleay, 1863), and Castiarina balteata (Saunders, 1869).
Du Boulay's Coleoptera volumes are significant documents of historical collecting with important scientific information for contemporary scientists. Now that the volumes are available on the BHL website, scientists can benefit from the historical and scientific data on Coleoptera collected by Francis du Boulay from locations across Australia in the late nineteenth century.

Q: Move multiple backgrounds infinitely using CSS I have two backgrounds:
body {
    background-image: url(img/nemo.png),url(img/ocean.png);
}

How do I make nemo.png background move infinitely from left-right but not affecting ocean.png background?
EDIT: When he reaches the right most edge (and the image is no longer visible), he will appear from the left edge again and start doing the drifting from left-to-right.

A: This can be done with pure CSS 3, e.g keyframed animations:
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/dghsV/112
body {
    background-image: url("http://www.animaatjes.nl/disney-plaatjes/disney-plaatjes/finding-nemo/nemo11.gif"), url("http://images2.layoutsparks.com/1/200022/ocean-dreams-blue-waves.jpg");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: 50% 0%, 0;
    -moz-animation: swim 2s linear 0s infinite;
    -webkit-animation: swim 2s linear 0s infinite;
    animation: swim 2s linear 0s infinite;
}
@-moz-keyframes swim {
    from { background-position: 200% 0, 0 0; }
    to  { background-position: -100% 0, 0 0; }
}
@-webkit-keyframes swim {
    from { background-position: 200% 0, 0 0; }
    to  { background-position: -100% 0, 0 0; }
}
@keyframes swim {
    from { background-position: 200% 0, 0 0; }
    to  { background-position: -100% 0, 0 0; }
}

Syntax

animation : animation-name animation-duration animation-timing-function animation-delay animation-iteration-count animation-direction;

The feature is experimental, so vendor-prefixes (eg -webkit-) have to be added (see also Can I use CSS3 Animation for compatibility notes). In my demo, I've used all properties, except for the last one.

A: Heres an option:
Create an animated GIF from the nemo.png which is a simple animation of the image moving from left to right.
Then create the layered backgrounds by setting ocean.png to the background of the body of your page.
Then create a div which with the following css:
width:100%;
height:100%;
background-position:center center;
background-image: url(img/moving-nemo.gif);

The div will be an all-encompassing container for all of your content which will give you a layered background effect.

A: make only ocean the background and create a div with the nemo as background:

#nemo {
    background: url(nemo.png) no-repeat;
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    position:absolute;
    left: 0px;
    top: 500px;
    z-index:-10;
}

than you can animate this div with javascript (jQuery):

Slow down, relax and make this breakfast in your pyjamas while everyone else is still dozing this long weekend. The ingredients are simple, yet the result of a German pancake, glorious and puffy right out of the oven, is spectacular.
When I first started making this, every once in a while it would be disappointingly flat, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why. My husband was convinced it was the mixing, he thought for sure an electric mixer had to be used to add air to the batter. I tried that, but to no avail. Finally I figured it out. The key to puffy german pancake perfection is a really, really hot pan. So many recipes tell you to put the butter into your dish and heat it in the oven until the butter melts, but this is inadequate, your pan won't be hot enough. And if you leave it in the oven too long with the butter, it will be scalded.
What I do is place an empty skillet into the oven right when I turn it on. That way I know the skillet will be at oven temperature (450°) when I'm ready to add the batter. Butter gets added while the skillet is searingly hot (the butter will sizzle and melt almost instantly when you add it to the pan—just like in the video below). Twirl the pan with the butter until it's melted and add in the batter, and pop it into the oven. 15 minutes later, it will be three times the height, buttery, crisp and golden.
As for the pan, I use an old heavy skillet with the handle removed (as it wasn't oven safe to 450° with the handle). An oven safe skillet (please ensure that it can withstand up to 450°), cast iron pan or glass pie baking dish will work just fine as well.
While the batter is transforming in the oven, melt some more butter in a medium skillet, add the slices apples, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook for 12–15 minutes until the apples are soft and the sugar has caramelized a little. And that's it—serve with a dusting of icing sugar and maple syrup, drizzled with the apple juices from the pan. What better way to spend a lazy weekend morning?
The ingredients are simple, yet the result of a German pancake, glorious and puffy right out of the oven, is spectacular. Cinnamon apples pan seared on the stove while the pancake bakes are the perfect accompaniment.
Place empty oven-proof skillet (safe up to 450°) into the oven with rack in middle position (batter will rise well above the pan so ensure there will be room). Preheat oven to 450°.
Combine eggs, milk, flour and salt into a medium bowl. Stir with a fork until smooth and just a few small lumps remain.
When the oven has reached temperature, remove the skillet and add 2 tbsp butter. The butter will sizzle and melt; swirl the butter in the pan until melted, tilting to coat the sides with melted butter. Add the batter to the pan, and pop back into the oven. Bake 15 minutes, or until very puffy and golden.
While the pancake is in the oven, melt 2 tbsp butter in a medium skillet on the stove top, over medium high heat. Add apple slices and stir, turning to coat evenly with butter. Add brown sugar and cinnamon. Cook on high for 10–12 minutes, until the apples soften and the juices have combined with the brown sugar and cinnamon and cooked down into a syrupy sauce.
Remove skillet from the oven, slice pancake and sprinkle with powdered sugar on top. Add sautéed apples to the plate, spooning the sugary juices on top of the pancake.

STAFF, volunteers and supporters at the St Barnabas House charity shop in Wick celebrated the shop's 18th birthday with a Jailhouse Rock themed party.
Everyone dressed up and there was a beautiful hand-made birthday cake, complete with an Elvis 7" vinyl record on the top.
Performing live on the day was the entertaining Suspiciously Elvis – one of the UK's top Elvis tribute acts, who generously gave his time to support Worthing-based St Barnabas.
Elvis got the audience dancing, singing and clapping along, as he sung his way through many well known hits, including of course, Jailhouse Rock.
There was also music from local singing duo, Sophie and Simon.
The Mayor of Littlehampton, Councillor Billy Blanchard-Cooper, and a great supporter of the Wick shop, joined us to cut the cake with Suspiciously Elvis.

Yael Naim Interview: Motivations, new music and 'that' advert.
February 17, 2020 by Laura Bevan
Yael Naim, the Parisian born, Franco-Israeli singer-songwriter has had an interesting and diverse music career. Her ethereal vocals and soulful, upbeat sounds have been a mainstay of her music, with track New Soul shooting her to global fame by featuring in Apple's Macbook Pro advertisement in 2008. With the release of new record NightSongs on the horizon and an apparent shift to a more sombre and reflective approach to her music, we talk to Yael Naim about her career, the new record and what motivates her musically.
You've varied career with many musical influences. When did you start singing and learning the piano?
I started when I was 9 with classical piano and fell in love with Mozart. Then at 12 I discovered the Beatles and started to sing and …compose songs. From this moment, music was everything to me
Take me through your songwriting process. Do you write most of your tracks on the piano?
It could be on the piano or on the guitar or by walking or any other sound that inspires me. The music and lyrics usually come all together, in one moment … as if I was hearing it or remembering it and not creating it … this moment when music comes to life…that's one of my favourite things in life ever.
What was the inspiration behind your upcoming album, NightSongs?
The feeling of a scary change that is about to come and the strong feeling that I can't, that I don't want to escape from it.The feeling that I want to dive into something and see what's in there.
What's your favourite song on your new album?
Difficult one…It took me more than 3 years and I had 30 songs recorded…so the 12 ones that are finely in are deeply close to my heart.
Do you have any surprises in store for your European tour and which country is your favourite to explore?
I'm just excited to be travelling with this music … the main surprise is that each concert will be different because I chose to leave space inside the setlist, etc…space for connecting with the piano and to improvised parts around my songs … I don't want to repeat myself every night and each song can be expressed in different ways … I want to take more risks every night. I might also let people choose one of the songs that I'll be playing, and then to play it in a risky way that would never happen twice.
How did you feel when you first watched the MacBook advert with your song New Soul featured
I felt strange and happy, I was still sitting in my small apartment in Paris, nothing had changed so far, but knowing that people all over the world will watch this ad it at the same moment, with my little song composed and recorded in this small apartment in it. It was insane.
It must have been immense! Is there anything/anyone that motivates/inspires you to write music?
The endless possibilities of music and emotions that exist. A life is not long enough to let them all out.
How has your upbringing influenced your songs?
It made me wish to become a free person and have a free expression and a personal language… I felt that with music and with exposing myself in music I would be able to express strength and fragility, complicated feelings all at once in a safe place.
Are you a fan of the vinyl format? If so, what draws you to vinyl and why?
I discovered the Beatles listening to my parents' records and used to listen and watch the cover and artwork images for hours. I particularly love this large format to be able to dive into the images. Of course the musical texture and sound are much more interesting with vinyl, but this relationship to images while listing is maybe the most important relationship.

Recently, a workshop was held at a conference of the US National Space Society in Los Angeles, California, organized by Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence (METI). METI, which is funded by private donors, organizes the transmission of messages to other star systems.
METI targets star systems relatively close to the Sun that are known to host Earth-sized planets in their 'habitable zone' — where the conditions are right for liquid water to exist — using large radar dishes. Last year, it directed a radio message, which attempted to explain musical language, towards a nearby exoplanet system. The message started from basic arithmetic (encoded in binary as two radio wavelengths) and introduced increasingly complex concepts such as duration and frequency.

        UIManager.setLookAndFeel("de.javasoft.synthetica.dark.SyntheticaDarkLookAndFeel");
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }

    /* Create and display the form */
    java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            new Mapa().setVisible(true);
        }
    });
}

Si opto por un Clean and Build realiza el build sin problemas, pero al momento de ejecutar el programa, no se aplica ningún cambio en la parte gráfica. Sigue mostrándose el NimbusLookAndFeel
He intentado de la siguiente forma también:
public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {
        UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new SyntheticaBlackMoonLookAndFeel());
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }

    /* Create and display the form */
    java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            new Mapa().setVisible(true);
        }
    });
}

Pero obtengo una excepción en la línea de UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new SyntheticaBlackMoonLookAndFeel());

¿Cómo puedo implementarla correctamente?

A: Revisando el error con un poquito más de detalle, creo que es necesario que revises la librería que intentas usar. El error está diciendo que alguien está intentando usar sun.swing.plaf.xxxxx y eso no lo estás importando directamente.
De acuerdo a la documentación, para Java8 el paquete es javax.swing.plaf.synth. El acceso directo a sun.xyz se desaconseja porque no refiere a la API disponible y te va a fallar si usas algo diferente a Oracle Java o si cambias de versión y la implementación cambia.
Veo que Synthetica tiene versiones diferentes para Java <=8 y Java>9. Revísalo. Así mismo, confirma qué versión de Java estás usando.

Exports of dried fruits, nuts up 36% in 2 months yr/yr
TEHRAN – The value of the Iranian exports of dried fruits, nuts and seeds in the first two months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 21-May 21) increased by 36 percent compared to the same period last year, a senior official at Iran's Trade Promotion Organization (TPO) said.
According to Mahmoud Bazari, director-general of TPO's Export Coordination Office for agro crops and processing industry products, 96,000 tons of the mentioned products worth $212 million were exported to foreign destinations in the mentioned two months.
Despite the limitations created by the coronavirus pandemic and the U.S. sanctions, the exports of the mentioned products also increased by 25 percent in terms of weight in the said period, Bazari said.
As reported by IRIB, pistachio had the biggest share in the export basket of the said products, accounting for $122 million of the total exports.
The official noted that some 18,000 tons of pistachios were exported in the period under review, registering 43 percent and 50 percent increase in terms of value and weight, respectively.
According to Bazari, China, United Arab Emirates (UAE), India, Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan, Russia, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, and Afghanistan were the top destinations for the mentioned commodities during the said time span.
The export of dates during the first two months of this year also reached 48,000 tons worth $42 million, which shows an increase of 12 percent in terms of value and 13 percent in terms of weight compared to the same period last year, the official stated.
Some 27,000 tons of raisins valued at $35 million were also exported in the mentioned two months, to register 12 percent and 13 percent increases in terms of value and weight, respectively.
TPO is constantly monitoring and determining new destination markets for Iranian non-oil products and with the increase in the number of Iran's trade partners, the exports of the country's foodstuff and agricultural products, which are of high quality, is increasing every year.

Reporting Engagement Innovation Technology
One more time with feeling: A new way to look at the presidential debates
Randy Picht
With apologies to gone-viral Ken Bone, most Americans have decided who they'll be voting for on Nov. 8. Some have already cast their vote. Therefore, this year's three presidential debates may be more for show than substance.
It's probably also fair to say that most folks who watched the first two debates viewed the responses and repartee through their own filter bubble, which is really what happens every day as people turn to their Facebook friends and Twitter followers for news.
The filter-bubble phenomenon — only getting news and information from people who agree with you and think like you — is becoming a bigger and bigger challenge for journalism and democracy.
We decided to try a little experiment connected to the presidential debates. Since no commentator or news organization is capable of piercing "the other's" filter bubble and no amount of fact checking or timelines or nonpartisan studies may change that, we wondered whether bringing a cold, hard computer into the fray might make a difference.
Dale Musser, chief technology adviser for the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute, built a debate analyzer application that was quickly able to deliver the text of the recent debates — and some historic ones too — to IBM Watson's tone analysis tool and provide the results for us to review.
IBM Watson won't be voting in the upcoming election and really doesn't care about Supreme Court justices or deleted emails or hot mic comments. It simply looks at the words in a file and assigns a rating on an emotional scale.
Many of the results are predictable, which is probably a good sign for Watson.
What we've discovered so far:
There is very little joy in this year's debates and a whole lot of sadness.
Scores tended to be high throughout for "agreeableness" and "analytical." That sounds about right since the debate format encourages that kind of phrasing.
IBM Watson doesn't get sarcasm.
Comparing the first TV debate — Kennedy-Nixon in 1960 — with the most recent debates, you can definitely see a dramatic decline in the statesmanship of our politicians. (Interruptions data)
Watson, at least with this tool, doesn't evaluate voice and facial expressions. Layering voice and facial expressions analysis on top of the Tone Analyzer could add significant insights.
Reviewing the Watson analysis is somewhat similar to wine tasting. For example:
In the second Trump-Clinton debate, when the question of the Access Hollywood hot mic tape came up, Trump was confident and agreeable, with hints of sadness and anger. Clinton was analytical and agreeable with hints of confidence and disgust.
When the question of the deleted emails was raised, Clinton acknowledged that using a private internet server was a mistake and delivered her response in a very calm and confident manner. Watson scored her response as mostly analytical and agreeable but with hints of disgust and confidence. Trump's counter was also analytical and agreeable but with hints of anger and disgust.
The only real moments of joy during the second debate came when Clinton had the opportunity to talk about her accomplishments over her 30-plus years of public service and when Trump grudgingly accepted Clinton's compliments about his children — "I don't know if it was meant to be a compliment, but it is a great." — and praised Clinton for being a fighter.
Another emotion that didn't show up often was tentativeness, but it was interesting when it did. Clinton had higher tentative scores when answering a question about leaked comments about having two positions on issues — public and private — which makes sense, but she also received a high tentative score for comments about choosing the next Supreme Court justice.
Trump had the highest tentative score when he was asked to disclose how many years he had gone without paying personal federal income tax, which also makes sense, but he had high tentative scores when talking about making changes to the Affordable Care Act.
If you want to review, the ratings yourself for the Trump-Clinton debates and some others thrown in for fun, go here. We'll employ the Watson "emotion detector" for tomorrow night's third and final presidential debate, as well.
Special thanks to CQRollCall for providing the debate transcripts we're using in this experiment. Stay tuned as we refine the tool and look for other ways to improve journalism with machine learning.


Political discourse is full of hype, obfuscation and downright lying—which is why two independent authorities play such vital roles in the state Capitol.
State Auditor Elaine Howle, Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor and their staffs of policy experts provide the Legislature—and, more importantly, the California public—with unvarnished information and analysis about state and local governance.
What they uncover and report is not always appreciated in political circles because it often conflicts with what politicians would prefer to do, or not do, for their own reasons.
But it's there for the record, and for journalists to use as they explain to the larger public what those in power are doing, or not.
Obviously, Howle, Taylor and their staffs can function only if the Legislature, which employs them, is willing to allow them to do their jobs without interference. Fortunately, Howle, Taylor and their predecessors have fiercely guarded their independence, without which their findings would be deeply discounted.
That brings us to Assembly Bill 562, which Gov. Jerry Brown signed this week. It will make it a misdemeanor crime for anyone to interfere with, obstruct or impede the state auditor's investigations. Conviction would carry a fine of up to $5,000.
Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi, a Torrance Democrat, introduced the bill after Howle complained that she had to discard portions of her audit of finances in the University of California president's office.
UC officials, she said, had interfered with the probe by requiring local college administrators to run their responses to questions from Howle's auditors through the president's office and change them to reflect more favorably upon UC President Janet Napolitano.
Howle, as part of her audit, had sent a confidential survey to the campuses to learn if services provided by the president's office were necessary.
"I've never had a situation like that in my 17 years as state auditor," Howle told legislators at a May hearing on the audit findings, which included $175 million in reserves that had not been disclosed to the UC Board of Regents during budget discussions.
Much of the secret money came from "assessments" on individual campuses to finance system-wide programs. The diversions, Howle said, had been increased even in years when the president's office had not spent all of the money from prior years. And when pressed, she reported, Napolitano had been unable to say how the money had been spent.
UC's Board of Regents has hired former state Supreme Court Justice Carlos Moreno to investigate the allegations of interference, but no results have been released.
Meanwhile, however, AB 562 will make other officials think twice before pulling a stunt like the one at UC. It bolsters the essential independence of the state's watchdogs.

HBO cuts Louis C.K. from charity telecast and on-demand services in wake of harassment allegations
Image: Ben Gabbe/Getty Images for Tribeca TV FestivaL
By Laura Prudom 2017-11-10 01:32:03 UTC
HBO is severing ties with Louis C.K. following a New York Times report that the comedian sexually harassed five women, with allegations spanning back to the late '90s.
The premium cable network has confirmed that it has cut C.K. from its Night of Too Many Stars charity telecast, an annual event which raises funds for autism services. HBO also announced that it will be pulling the comedian's stand-up specials and previous TV series — including Lucky Louie — from its on-demand platforms.
"Louis C.K. will no longer be participating in the Night of Too Many Stars: America Unites for Autism Programs, which will be presented live on HBO on November 18," an HBO spokesperson said, per Variety. "In addition, HBO is removing Louis C.K.'s past projects from its On Demand services."

Meanwhile, FX Networks — the home of C.K.'s Emmy-winning comedy Louie, where the showrunner has an overall deal and also executive produces Pamela Adlon's Better Things and Zach Galifianakis' Baskets — issued a statement in response to the report.
"We are obviously very troubled by the allegations about Louis C.K. published in The New York Times today. The network has received no allegations of misconduct by Louis C.K. related to any of our 5 shows produced together over the past 8 years. FX Networks and FXP take all necessary actions to protect our employees and thoroughly investigate any allegations of misconduct within our workplace. That said, the matter is currently under review."
Earlier Thursday, the premiere for C.K.'s upcoming film, I Love You, Daddy, was canceled ahead of the New York Times' story, with the indie's distributor, The Orchard, revealing that the release plan for the film was being reviewed.
"In light of the allegations concerning Louis C.K. referenced in today's New York Times, we are cancelling tonight's premiere of I Love You, Daddy," the statement read. "There is never a place for the behavior detailed in these allegations. As a result, we are giving careful consideration to the timing and release of the film and continuing to review the situation."
C.K. was also scheduled to appear on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday night before canceling his appearance, with William H. Macy now set to replace him as a guest, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Allegations against C.K. come on the heels of accusations of sexual misconduct leveled against a number of high-profile Hollywood figures including Harvey Weinstein, James Toback, Kevin Spacey, Roy Price, Brett Ratner, Ed Westwick, Steven Seagal, and Jeffrey Tambor. Hours after the C.K. report broke, an allegation of harassment against Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner also surfaced.

Online Reviews Cannot Be Trusted. Really. Part II
By Richard Zwolinski, LMHC, CASAC & C.R. Zwolinski
Last updated: 6 Apr 2017
Contd. from Part One
Our Fraudulent Online Review Story at HealthGrades
C.R. went to specialist last year. He was excellent, one of the best healthcare professionals in her experience. In addition to a host of awards, and doing very good work, he had a warm and informative bedside manner. But during a follow up-visit, he told her he was struggling with a negative online review that was causing him to literally lose sleep. Apparently, a disgruntled patient spun a fantastic tale of incompetence, rudeness, and "emotional malpractice."
As patient advocates (see our book, Therapy Revolution: Find Help, Get Better and Move On) we tend to side with patients, but we had several visits this doctor, have referred others to him, all of whom had superb experiences, and this person's story just didn't quite ring true. The doctor she described was a monster, but to us he really was a dedicated professional who had a pleasant, even warm, demeanor.
After hearing this, C.R., with her journalistic radar pinging, decided to see if we had hostile reviews.
C.R. writes: It didn't take me long to find out. On Healthgrades I found a one-star review for Richard.
Here's where the saga bizarre scam gets weird.
Fraud? Libel? A Catch-22 Designed To Force You To Legitimize A Scam
Here's what the review said:
The reviewer saw Richard at an office in Brooklyn.
This was Richard's private practice.
Richard pushed medication.
He also said Richard worked at correctional facilities.
Here are the facts:
Richard doesn't have an office in Brooklyn. He works as the director of an outpatient program in another borough.
Richard hasn't been in private practice for a very long time. In fact, he supervises and trains therapists but doesn't have a case load himself.
Richard isn't an MD and therefore cannot prescribe medication.
He has never worked for a correctional facility.
Richard and I immediately contacted Healthgrades but in order to correct this, but the site led us to a menu which required us to set up a treatment professional profile on Healthgrades. Here's where the Catch-22 part came in. We set up the part of the profile we could do honestly (we couldn't fill in the false address for example or say that Richard had a private practice).
We also wrote to Healthgrades once we got what we could set up, but they kept sending messages to him to complete the profile. Finally, someone got back to us and said that unless we finished completing the profile, they would not investigate our case. Repeated emails from us led to no results.
Finally a friend suggested that I, C.R., post a review on Healthgrades, and in that review, call out Healthgrades for the fraudulent nature of the first review. I did so using my name and email. gave Richard 5 stars in each possible area, and then I explained why I was using the review area–because I was left with no choice. I listed the facts which countered the fraudulent claims. Then, I waited for my review to be read by Healthgrades, who I thought would naturally delete the original fraudulent review.
That's not what happened. Instead they sent a form email to Richard which basically said he had to complete and log into his profile and then he could write a response to the fraudulent review. In other words, we were back to the original Catch-22.
They also had the chutzpah to not print my review, but actually say there was another response with no written review, and then they printed half of my star ratings! So Healthgrades itself is staffed by liars.
You Cannot Trust Healthgrades At All
Healthgrades knows they have a fraudulent review, about an appointment that never took place, in an office that doesn't exist, saying a medication was prescribed by a therapist who can't prescribe medications, in a private practice that doesn't exist, and with a therapist who does not work where the reviewer says he does (in correctional facilities.)
You can read about hundreds of Healthgrades nightmares on the Consumer Affairs web site. Here. This professional had a fraudulent review similar to ours. Others practitioners have stories similar to Richard's and mine, but patients also have complaints about Healthgrades too.
If you are a professional who has been harmed by Healthgrades, please leave a comment and let us know if you've been able to resolve the situation and how.
If you're a prospective patient, please know that Healthgrades reviews are very possibly false. Perhaps other online review sites are honest, but we suggest you try word of mouth, professional referrals, and interviewing any practitioner you're interested in seeing before committing to a course of treatment.

New Year's Resolutions, 2011
They may be cheesy, they may be naive, they may be doomed to failure, but I still enjoy New Year's Resolutions. Reviewing the past year's events is always useful and I like the feeling of starting a new year with fresh goals. Like everyone, I make the usual promises to myself: exercise more, eat less junk food, spend more time with family, etc. I also make some video game-specific plans that I'd like to share.
First, let's see how I did on last year's resolutions. I specifically set out to play three major 2010 releases: God of War III, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and The Last Guardian. Since The Last Guardian's release remains as mysterious as its titular mythical beast, it seems I met these modest goals. GoW III and SMG 2 were two of my favorite games of the year and I see myself going back to them throughout 2011.
I planned on taking a stab at my backlog in 2010, and while I didn't get around to everything, I did have the pleasure of playing Dead Space and Braid. Dead Space was a great game that used classic techniques from horror movies to instill a sense of dread as I rounded every corner. As pretentious as it sounds, Braid turned out to be one of my favorite games of all time. I've written quite a bit about it, so I'll just move along before anyone starts throwing tomatoes.
Of course, I bit off more than I could chew and ended up leaving a list of games untouched, which leads me to my first resolution: to be more selective regarding my backlog. I'm a big Batman fan, and any game that brings back the cast of Batman: The Animated Series deserves my attention, so Arkham Asylum stays on the list. Additionally, I love analyzing unique approaches to challenge and difficulty, so Demon's Souls is a game I'll be looking forward to playing. Aside from that, I think I'll just go with the flow and see what 2011 has to offer in terms of big releases. Vanquish, one of my favorite games of 2010, wasn't on my radar until shortly before its release and I want to stay open to more unexpected surprises in 2011.
My other major resolution is to actually implement last year's "broadening horizons" project. I never strayed too much from my genre comfort zone in 2010: major console platformers and action games took up most of my time. There's nothing wrong with that, but I would like to keep my eye on other sections of the gaming world. This year, I have a plan!
Soon, I'll have an iPod Touch, which will allow me to jump into the exciting iOS realm. Although it's a cliche, I really think that the advent of the AppStore has had a remarkable effect on the market in terms of price, player expectations, and accessibility. In some ways, it feels like mobile gaming is going back to the Game & Watch days: short games with simple presentations, built around streamlined rules. At the same time, games like Infinity Blade are experimenting with the limits of the technology, while titles like Game Dev Story seem to succeed in commenting on the industry by using the game rhetoric. Also, people have been talking non-stop about Angry Birds, so I'll be happy to figure out just what the hell that thing even is.
Lastly, I want to wade deeper into the indie and experimental scene. To do this, I'll use Christopher Hyde's excellent list of 99 Free Games From 2009 as a guide and follow any tangents that present themselves. Christopher compiled a great collection of games and I've only played a fraction of them. I find it amusing that Minecraft is nestled in there at number 23. Who would have expected it would make such an impact in 2010? It raises the question of what other potentially massive gems can be mined from the obscurity of the Internet. There's only one way to find out!
So there you have it: In 2011, I resolve to be more selective with my backlog, to go with the flow in terms of new major studio releases, and to explore platforms I've historically neglected. As always, we'll see how this turns out, but I think all this is quite feasible. Finally, I'll turn it over to you, dear readers: What was 2010 like for you? Any specific game-related goals for the new year? Anything I or anyone else should check out?
As always, thanks for visiting the site. It's been a great year. Take care and have a Happy New Year!

Happy Birthday Scott! Let the games begin......or should I say continue....

thanks for linking to last year's resolution post, I'm almost proud of myself, since I managed to almost play every game on my list from back then.
It's been a crazy year of sorts, it seems I was buried in exams half the time so I couldn't read, write or play anything and the other half of the time I played so many games that I couldn't read or write anything either. Well I gues at least I spent more time actually playing games than just reading or writing about them.
This year's gonna to be a little difficult as far as gaming goes since I'm gonna spend a lot of time abroad without stationary consoles, so I'll probably take this as a chance to dig into handheld gaming a little deeper.
Right now I'd probably have trouble to even make a list. Both of the God of War Games and MGS Peace Walker for the PSP and the Zelda games for the DS would definitely be on there. Got any must play recommendations? I've really been on a little blackout as far as handheld gaming goes.
Concerning "real" gaming,
Read Dead Redemption
will be my AAA back log "go to" titles in 2011. I'd also love to check out Final Fantasy XIII, Fallout New Vergas and Vanquish, we'll se how that goes. Not to mention that there are "some" games coming out in 2011 as well...
Scott Juster January 19, 2011 at 7:54 AM
You're right: you were a gaming machine last year!
Like you, I'm kind of out of the loop in terms of portable games. If you're in the mood for brain-teaser style stuff, Picross 3D is pretty neat. Of course, Jorge would kill me if I didn't reccommend Layton!
Good luck on working through the rest of the back catalog; I'll be interested to hear what you think of RDR and Heavy Rain. I think those were two of the most thought-provoking games of the year.

Attila Marcel
Attila Marcel Analysis
The play, Attila Marcel was written by the French comic writer, film director, and animator, Sylvain Chomet (b. 10 November 1963).
In the play, Paul is doing his thirties in Paris with two aristocrats and his aunts who have raised him since he was two, right through to his adulthood. This is because Paul was orphaned by his parents' mysterious deaths- something he saw and got traumatized by. The dream that Paul's guardians have for him is to have him become a renowned virtuoso pianist. Working on the grand piano situated in the living room, attending his aunt's dancing classes where he serves as the accompanist and daily domestic routines make up Paul's daily life. Paul is cut off from the external world and ages without having experienced real life. This happens until one day he meets his neighbor who lives on the fourth floor, Madame Proust. Madame Proust possesses the recipe used to make herbal tea. Proust uses herbal tea and music to resurrect deeply buried memories. This is the case with Proust. Madame Proust helps Paul to rediscover his past and to find this helps Paul to find the key to help him finally live a good and more coherent personal life.
There are several values and features that are observable in the play, Attila Marcel. One of the observable features of the play is the playwright's use of anachronism to emphasize the motif and to illustrate the play's plotline. This is seen in the instance Paul is shown to be in his 30s yet he is still engaging in the annual young pianist contests and doling out chouquettes like dog biscuits. The fact of the matter herein is that Paul is expected to have grown out of these endeavors by far. The playwright uses this to emphasize Paul's underdevelopment and the extent to which Paul's witness of his parents' demise affected him adversely. The same delay in Paul's psychosocial and cognitive development also underscores the strength of Madame Proust's therapy, for the delay was great and inherent in Paul's person.
The playwright also uses a lot of symbolism in the play. Madame Proust specifically, stands in the place of Paul's parents and a psychotherapist. This is illustrated by the fact that by having social contact with her, Paul is able to piece together, a distraught and suppressed impression of his beautiful mother, Mrs. Fanny Touron, and his father, a professional wrestler who had the stage name, Attila Marcel.
There are several features and effects that characterize the play and help it underscore the theme that the playwright intends to put across. For instance, there is the use of the camera to provide the audience with the desired viewership. For instance, Paul's infant life is entirely presented in a POV (point of view shot). This is done so as to enable the audience to see how the main character (Paul) is looking at things. The audience is also able to study the character's reaction to different circumstances. This enables the audience to get more acquainted with Paul's childhood. The use of the POVs also helps the playwright and the director of the play to hint that flashbacks are being used. The same also helps the audience to identify the flashback sequences and to understand the play.
Again, it is true that every trip is punctuated with musical tunes and songs. All the songs had been composed by Franck Monbaylet and the director of the play. For instance, scenes that depict Cherbourg-Esque seaside scene are accompanied by hot jazz music from a band of human-like frogs. That this approach is deliberate is a matter that is underscored by the film's most colorful set-piece being choreographed with a combination of wrestling and tango. The import of this is to help the audience follow along (by being attentive), build tension and desired emotional build-up, facilitate transitions within the plotline, and convey special effects.

The Angel/Warren Worthington III Thread
Discussion in 'MCU X-Men' started by psylockolussus, Sep 10, 2022.
psylockolussus X
One of the O5. Warren Worthington III of the Worthington Industries, hasn't appeared in any films as a member of the X-Men, despite flying in two X-Men movies. Will this be his time to join the ranks of the Wolverine and Cyclops, as a X-Man?
Who will be the MCU Angel?
#1 psylockolussus, Sep 10, 2022
Iceman said: ↑
True, and anyway would need to introduce Angel for at least a film or 2 before that for it to have the desired impact.
I want to see him as a proper member of the X-Men first, so he eventual evolution as the Archangel would have a big impact to the lives of the X-Men.

psylockolussus said: ↑
Yeah, need to do that first. Also would be good to see Warren Worthinton in the universe in some upper class circles. Maybe see him at the Hellfire Club or some other notorious establishments as the rich playboy character.
#3 Iceman, Oct 2, 2022
He is the Richie Rich of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Its time to add Angel as the rich businessman of x-men team!! money can help x-men's goal

The Avengers have (had ) Stark. The JL had Bruce Wayne. The X-Men need one too lol. Although Xavier must be well off too owning that lovely hi-tech mansion.
Silvermoth Krakoan native
I would love to see Warren, he has a lot of opportunities for character growth. Like what a great way to build Cameron hodge as a real and serious threat in the mcu

Billionaire playboy to X-Man to Archangel and back should be a good arc to see over multiple films (maybe shows).
Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, mutant, X-Man, horseman... woahh.
A must have.
Frodo and Iceman like this.
Could be an idea to get him in early so the longer term Archangel plot can work down the line. Need a break till we get Apocalypse again anyway.
#10 Iceman, Oct 22, 2022
Angel was so underutilized in X3/Apocalypse, that him being included in the first movie would be good news.
I don't know why Kinberg had the 2nd chance to use him, and didn't bother to make him a X-Man (same with Psylocke).
#11 psylockolussus, Oct 23, 2022
Frodo Registered
If they're going for a young, 20 something ,Warren than
Peyton Meyer, ( Girl Meets World ) 23.
#12 Frodo, Oct 23, 2022
I prefer someone in the late 20s and early 30s.
Mutant 77 Supreme Keeper of the X-Men Movie Continuity
It's interesting. Warren might definitely have a place in the MCU universe, but should be given more power. He's the weakest X-Man.
By the way, in X3 Angel wasn't an X-Man.
In Apocalypse, Archangel/Death could not be Warren Worthington III for timeline reasons. I call the guy "Kenneth". He's a British Cheyarafim.
#14 Mutant 77, Nov 18, 2022
He was called Warren in Apocalypse though, not Kenneth.
#15 psylockolussus, Nov 18, 2022
Nobody ever said his name on-screen. They call him "Angel", before the transformation.
That's what Wiki says:
Ben Hardy as Angel:
A mutant with bird-like feathered wings who gains metallic wings that can shoot razor sharp feather-projectiles, similar to his Archangel counterpart in the comics.[22] Hardy practiced indoor skydiving in preparation for his role.[23]
Supperhero said: ↑
Of course, "Kenneth" was just my thought.
This doesn't change that they never used the name "Warren" on-screen, and he can't be Warren. So I'm 100% correct and right.
That's it, friend. We're both X-Men fans. There's no need to fight each other. Unfortunately, I'm not American, but just a peaceful and empathic Italian. Peace.
Well its irrelevant to this MCU Angel thread. Lets hope he gets a decent role and is called Warren.
Well, it was just a history lesson about the XCM.
He will be Warren, don't worry. On the other hand, I never cared about Angel. He's the weakest character.
Angel is underrated.
I think with the right writers, he could be an eXcellent superhero in Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Supperhero and SumT like this.
Maybe... but they should revise his baseline powers, and not walk the "Archangel path" too soon.
I'm thinking wait til his fourth X-Men or MCU film before he becomes the Archangel - the horseman of Death.

It's not clear at this stage whether the MacBook Air brand will be discontinued or not, but a new report reveals more details about Apple's rumored 2016 MacBooks.
A source with an accurate track record told 9to5Mac that the new MacBook Pro models are coming in the fall, complete with features not seen on a MacBook before, including a Touch ID power button and an OLED touch-sensitive row of function keys.
This isn't the first time these features have been mentioned in rumors. A KGI report first suggested the OLED function keys, shown in Martin Hajek's render above, and said the MacBook Pro would come with Touch ID support this year. More recently, code inside macOS indicated that the fingerprint sensor would be supported in future Macs.
Previous reports said that Apple's new MacBooks will offer a slimmer, thinner and lighter design, and will include USB-C support and the removable of the iconic MagSafe charging port, in line with what Apple has done with the 12-inch MacBook. A recent leak indicated that up to four USB-C ports would be found on a MacBook Pro.
Apple will likely introduce the new MacBook Pro (and Air?) at some point in fall once its macOS Sierra is ready to be released.

Eve V 2 in 1 sells out in under 3 hrs!
I have been glued to a community forum for the past few days, and… I think I may have a problem. However, the reason for this is due to the fact that the Eve V 2 in 1 (Surface competitor) was launching. Well, it launched on Monday at 2pm and then by 5pm it was done for the first shipment of units. During that time, the team absolutely smashed their target of $75k and have now gone on to be near $900k.
So why has this been so successful, you may be what you are asking? Well, there are many reasons for this success but I want to pin it down to these three.
1. The entire development of this computer has been put through a community of very passionate tech users and absolutely everything has been deliberated about in the finest possible detail.
3. The specs and connectivity for this computer make it stand out in what is a very crowded marketplace of 'Surface wannabees'. This is the first convertible to have the newest Kaby Lake chipsets.
I have covered the details of the device in depth already in previous articles, so if you are interested in this product I would suggest having a read back. Another option is that you could also have a look on the Eve community website for more of an insight into the company.
Rest assured that even though the first allocation if units have now been sold, the guys at Eve Tech are not resting on their laurels. If you are wanting to get one of these unique machines then you can pre-order one for a small reservation and then pay the rest off before the end of the year. This can be done in the Indiegogo page here. These second batch of units will be delivered in April, so it is a fair bit of time to wait. Yet from what I have seen on paper it will be worth it.
This perk enables you to lock in the Indiegogo discounted price for a partial payment of the end price.
When you pay the amount in question, whether it was 199 for m3 model, 299 for the i5 model or 399 for the i7 model, you'll get a reservation for the configuration chosen for the next production batch after the first 500 units. Your Eve V will be produced & delivered in the next batch after the Hyper Early Bird (this deserves the capitalisation) backers have received their order. Shipping of the reserved units will take place during April (an accurate estimate).
The reservation fee you've paid will be used to purchase components related to your order in January 2017. As such, it will be fully refundable until December 21st 2016 (before this Indiegogo campaign ends). After December 21st, the 2016 down payment is not refundable.
Directly after the Indiegogo campaign, we proceed to order the components for your V, you'll have to pay the remaining sum on your order to qualify for the production of your V. This will take place in January 2017.
What is the next step on from this for Eve Tech? Well, no-one knows for certain, but they have definitely got plans to continue their crowdsourcing approach in future products. That could be in the form of more computers, accessories, or even a phone!
Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on with this machine but will have to for a bit longer until that day comes. As soon as it does I will share the experience with you, our loyal Coolsmartphone reader!

Dataminers uncover new information on GTA 5's Mount Chiliad UFO mystery
By Joe Donnelly 2017-06-26T10:57:31.176Z
Is the truth finally out there?
Much of the headlines coming from Grand Theft Auto 5 of late have centred around OpenIV's closure and Rockstar and Take-Two's subsequent single-player U-turn. According to MCV, the recent turmoil didn't stop the open world crime sim from becoming the UK's highest selling game for the 13th time last week—and it certainly hasn't stopped the game's UFO hunters from uncovering new 'Chiliad Mystery' data.
First, some background information for those uninitiated: since Grand Theft Auto 5's 2013 console launch, and its PC introduction two years later, a facet of the game's playerbase has dedicated itself to uncovering a so-called "conspiracy" tied to UFOs and a supposed in-game government cover-up. This wall marking kicked things off:
In line with the PC launch, we dived deep into the scheme, while Andy has since gathered a number of theories and explored a community in turmoil. The map above clearly identifies aliens and some sort of egg as integral to the mystery—the former of which can be spotted hovering above Fort Zancudo upon if certain in-game criteria are met—however the latter has remained elusive till now.
As reported by our sister site GamesRadar, dataminers have now discovered new code tied to the latest Gun Running update that not only include the egg but also coordinates that point to the Fort Zancudo military base.
As yet, the Chiliad Mystery community—who are most active via this Reddit thread—aren't sure how to spawn the new items, but the existence of this unearthed code would certainly suggest there's life in this conundrum yet. Perhaps the truth is finally out there.

How Gaming Became The Biggest Entertainment Industry
April 7, 2022 Third Eye Blind Productions Being Creative, Digital Marketing, Gaming No Comments
Gaming is by far the largest and most diverse industry in the entertainment industry. Globally, the gaming industry is now worth more than $145 billion dollars, and it continues to increase year after year.
Gaming is seen as a fantastic way to unwind, have fun, and socialize with friends, and there are several reasons why it has become the most popular form of entertainment in recent years.
To put gaming's popularity into perspective, the global music industry is worth roughly $20 billion dollars, while the global box office took in around $42.5 billion dollars; even when these two leading kinds of entertainment are combined, they are worth less than half of the gaming industry.
By way of comparison, when one of the world's top blockbuster movies Avengers: Endgame was released by Marvel, it made $858,373,000 US dollars in its opening weekend, and when action game Grand Theft Auto V was released in 2013 it made over $1 billion US dollars within just three day
The volume and variety of games available across all of the different device and console kinds is one of the things that makes gaming so enticing to such a big market.
For example, this Michigan-based online casino offers over 370 online slots and 60 table games, ensuring that every type of interest is catered for and guaranteeing that the sector continues to grow in the future.
Action, adventure, strategy, first-person shooters, and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) are among the most popular video game genres, although simulation, sports, and puzzle games are also popular.
The first-person shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold War had the most sales at the end of last year, followed by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons, a Nintendo Switch simulation game, was the third most popular video game in terms of sales.
The game appeals to a wide audience, including fans of the original Nintendo DS game as well as a new, younger audience, and is frequently lauded for its creative flexibility and gameplay mechanics.
So how did gaming emerge as such a popular form of entertainment?
It wasn't until the 1990s that gaming became possible and easily accessible on the internet, before then players relied on arcades, consoles and computer software to enjoy this form of entertainment.
Steam, an online gaming retailer, joined the market in 2003, making it easier for gamers to buy and review games online.
The game World of Warcraft was published shortly after. After becoming the first MMO to reach 10 million subscribers, WoW remains one of the most popular games in the business.
By 2007, mobile gaming had become increasingly popular, and Apple had added the option to make in-app purchases to their handsets.
Then, for the first time in 2015, the number of mobile gamers surpassed one billion for the first time.
When Google announced the development of Stadia, a cloud gaming service, gaming without a console became more accessible in 2019.
It's no surprise that gaming has surpassed more traditional kinds of entertainment like music and movies, thanks to its rapid growth and advancement.
The future of gaming is said to be mobile
While mobile gaming is still a relatively new industry, its current rate of growth suggests that it will soon account for the majority of all gaming. Last year, around two and a half billion people enjoyed playing games on their phones.
