Hl2 Sdk? - .:: Bots United ::.
is this it? can you make bots with it?
I believe rcBot has started to conduct / compose a bot for HL2.
How does one go about making a bot for cs1.6? The menu options in the sdk menu do not allow for a cs mod, and files in the cstrike directory aren't found in the .sln file.
most of the bots here work under CS 1.6. If you would like to make one yourself, check out the HPB bot source code and its README file.
so there aren't really any fully working source bots right?
Or do you mean botsupport in the SDK?
At least they're still giving away source-code, which is rare these times.
And using Metamod Source I'd think you could hack your way into a lot of stuff. Probably not with as general functionality as with the old SDK but nevertheless...you could if you wanted to.
Speaking of hacking into it, has anybody else noticed the disappearance of the BotController in TF2 ? Don't know if it's back again with the new beta sdk for orange box but if it isn't this could mean either a revamped shiny new bot interface or totally removed bot support.

TIP: Millionaire Match has many wealthy single men from Europe looking for women to date and marry.
London is one of the major financial power centers of the world besides attracting successful people in the arts, academics and various cultural pursuits. In fact the city is usually seen as competing with New York City as the most important location for international finance. This implies a high percentage of the population employed in financial services in London. Apart from finance and media, other sectors like tourism, retail and hospitality are the ones which employ most of the city's professionals. In London thus you can come upon its successful professionals in its five major business districts: the City, Westminster, Canary Wharf, Camden & Islington and Lambeth & Southwark. Yet another way of coming across rich single men in London is to frequent the areas where they live and socialize. These would be the locations with the best demographic profile and the highest residential property prices like Mayfair, Chelsea, Kensington Gardens, Grosvenor Square, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Covent Garden and Notting Hill. But then again not everybody in London has to work nine-to-five for a living – this is a city that is home to nobility and the aristocracy and thus abounds with clubs where only the richest and the aristocratic are members. White's, Athenaeum, St James, Caledonian and Clifton's are some of the most exclusive gentlemen's clubs in the city. Apart from being a financial and business center, London has always had the reputation of a cultural hotspot as well. thus some of the great ways to meet the really loaded guys would be to drop in at fine dining destinations like Quo Vadis , Gordon Ramsay's, Murano and Nobu, exclusive theatrical premieres at pricey West End venues and the most expensive movie shows like the evening ones at Odeon Leicester Square or even the upscale halls at Everyman and Electric. Being the seat of British royalty, London also hosts many cultural events with an adequate sprinkling of dukes, earls, knights or their young wards which can also help you rub shoulders with male, inherited title-holders.
Thanks to its history as a major trading and transportation city, Frankfurt is today the largest financial center in continental Europe. The pre-eminence of Frankfurt in the financial services industry of mainland Europe is evident in the fact that headquarters of several international banks, multinational companies in Europe, major international accountancy and professional services firms are located here. Finally the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is one of the oldest and busiest in the continent. All these factors indicate the presence of a large concentration of finance professionals in the city including bankers, investment consultants, hedge fund managers, CPAs and others. The people can be found chilling out upscale bars of the Westend District or frequenting informal business places at the Bankenviertel – the premier financial district of the city Ostend District.Trade fairs and conventions are another useful way to run into successful businessmen and rising entrepreneurs and among the best known ones that Frankfurt hosts are the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung which is a motor show, the Frankfurter Buchmesse or book fair, the Ambiente believed to be the world's largest consumer goods fair, the Achema one of the world's largest plant engineering fair besides several others like Paperworld, Christmasworld, Beautyworld, Tendence Lifestyle. Jimmy's Bar, Studio Bar O-Ton, The Lounge, Das 21 are some of the hangouts which are popular with the jet-setting club of the rich and beautiful in Frankfurt. Guests with a bent for the classical in music usually head for the Oper Frankfurt which hosts performances by world-renowned operas and ballets while those with a weakness for fine dining can be found to flock at addresses like The Sansibar and The Orion.
Apart from being the center of the second largest and second-most populous metropolitan area in Italy, Milan is reputed as one of the most cosmopolitan and expensive cities on the planet. It is famous as a hub of fashion, arts, culture as much as for finance and sports in this part of the world. In fact in 2009 Milan was ranked as the tenth best place in Europe for business and finance, according the survey European Cities Monitor and conducted by real estate services company Cushman Wakefield1. The city is the seat of the Italian Stock Exchange also known as the Borsa Italiana and its hinterland is the largest industrial area in Italy. So if you are keen to meet the really rich guys of Milan, get to know the movers and shakers of the finance and industrial sector who can be found frequenting the upscale cafes and bars in downtown Milano - the business hub of the city – or perhaps FieraMilano, which is believed to be among the largest trade fair complexes in the world. But most of all Milan is known the world over as one of the most important centers of fashion and design Milan is home to some of the most high profile fashion brands in the world such as Valentino, Gucci, Versace, Prada, Armani and Dolce & Gabbana, all of which are currently headquartered in the city. So if you want to meet the rich and fashionable of the world who fly down to Milan to shop, it would be a good idea to explore Milan's main upscale fashion district is the quadrilatero della moda which literally means the "fashion quadrilateral". Here the city's most prestigious shopping streets like the Via Monte Napoleone, Via della Spiga, Via Sant'Andrea, Via Manzoni and Corso Venezia are located. then again due to the fact that Milan boasts of a rich culinary tradition, the city is home to several exclusive fine-dining restaurants where wealthy patrons splurge on exotic good; among the best known of these are the Hotel Four Seasons restaurant, 'La Briciola', the Marino alla Scala, the Ristorante Cracco, Chandelier as well as Nobu located in the Armani World at Via Manzaoni. Here you can find the super rich of Milan as well as the international jet-setters, nibbling on an aperitivo buffet, campari in hand and dining on creative fusion cuisine.
Switzerland is well known one of the richest countries in the world by per capita gross domestic product. One of the most important segments of the Swiss economy is finance and this is the source of the wealth of the richest guys in Zurich. The strong Swiss currency together with stable political conditions and a long tradition of banking secrecy has made this sector one of the most profitable in the country. Thus when looking for singles in Zurich, it would help to keep a eye for bankers, hedge fund managers, insurers, investment advisors and other kinds of finance executives. Apart from finance, Zurich's economy is significantly bolstered by the sectors like health services, chemicals, precision machinery and tourism all these imply a thriving industrial sector based on private entrepreneurship. Thus you need to watch out for the budding businessmen or the high-paid executive who not only makes millions in a year but takes immense pride in his work as well. Another great way of coming across wealthy men here would be to head to the skiing resorts like St Moritz, Zermatt and Davos which are the hangouts of the rich and famous. On the other hand if you don't wish to stir from the city, explore the swankiest bars and nightclubs like Amber and Jade where the rich like to party.
Known by various names through history, St Petersburg remains one of the most important political, economic and cultural centers of Russia and thus of a significant part of Europe. Here the wealthiest men can be found among the shipping barons and the captains of industry since the city's economy has been traditionally based on heavy industry. A few good places to run into these people are bars and restaurants in the main financial and business district of the city where they are likely to have their offices or places of business like banks, convention centers and industrial conferences where the captains of industry are likely to come together. Then there are cultural venues that draw the very wealthy patrons of the arts. A good choice might be the various art museums like the Hermitage Museum as well as the Russian Museum both of which house priceless works of art. Alternatively you can check out the numerous theaters in the city which regularly host operas, ballets and other performances in classical music, especially the world-renowned Marinsky Theater. Or you can find ways to hob-nob with the wealthy men here at their home turf - in St Petersburg, some of the places where the richest live are the Palace Square which is the historic and cultural heart of the city, the elegant avenues of Nevsky Prospekt, the northern side of the Nevsky, the eastern side of the Vasilevsky Island as well as some parts of the New Holland Island which have retained the magnificent architecture of the past.
Ever since the mid-thirteenth century when Stockholm was founded on the south-central east coast of Sweden, the city has been an important economic, cultural and political center in the whole of Scandinavia. This makes it one of the best one of the cities in the northern part of Europe to meet men who are successful and seeking an active social life. In the last decade or so, the high technology sector has emerged as one of the most significant components of the economy in Stockholm. Today the city is home to several high-tech multinational companies like Ericcson, IBM and Electrolux; software experts, engineers and other highly skilled professionals employed by these companies make up some of the best-paid people in the city, among which there are sure to figure more than a few singles. The presence of a thriving software industry also implies techies who begin with start-ups of their own and then go on to earn millions of dollars. Like most of the wealthiest cities of the world, the services industry makes up the largest segment in the economy of Stockholm as well of which the financial services sector is particularly lucrative. the best places to run into these successful professionals would be central Stockholm which is the chief business district of the city, as but there are other upcoming places with important offices and multinational companies too like the Globe district and the Stockholm Waterfront. Stockholm is perhaps the most important center for research and higher education in the whole of Scandinavia. It is home to a number of universities in humanities, fine arts, science and technology. All these institutes of repute indicate a large presence of academics, professors and researchers, many of whom often draw healthy fellowships and teaching salaries.
Apart from being the capital city of Spain, Madrid is also the third largest city in the European Union after London and Berlin. Madrid is the financial hub of the country and in fact one of the most important centers of business and finance in southern Europe. Bankers, investment consultants, wealth managers and insurers thus make up one of the most successful sections of Madrid's population, often taking back six-figure paychecks together with great perks. Many of these professionals can be found relaxing with a drink at upscale hangouts in downtown city which is the financial center as well as other business districts like the Cuatro Torres Business Area and the AZCA Business Park. In recent years tourism, leisure, health, financial and information technology-enabled services have made a significant impact on the economic landscape of the city, bringing in new jobs and pushing up salaries. Thus as you take in the beautiful sights of Madrid and experience its famed hospitality, don't forget to keep an eye out for the managers and executives of the service sector. Apart from making the acquaintance of a guy who is single, you might also find yourself a wealthy personal guide to make the rounds of this romantic city. Along with its large variety of cultural attractions, Madrid is well known for an active sporting culture which is evident from the way soccer, basketball and tennis are zealously played and followed. The city in fact is home to Real Madrid, one of the richest football clubs in the world; so when in Madrid you can look out for other singles who may be associated with sports in a lucrative capacity like the players, managers, team professionals and even sports journalists who make up in influence what they might lack in paychecks.

If you'd like to skip over my recipe notes that will help you get perfect keto sandwich bread every time, please scroll to the bottom of the post.
Ketogenic diet bread is not low calorie – swapping gluten out for almond flour and whey isolate adds a lot of calories. If you are watching your caloric intake, always consult with a doctor about a keto diet. This bread is in no way meant to be a lower calorie option – but merely a different way to get a light, bread texture without using gluten or grains.
This bread will work for gluten free diets, including those with celiac. Always make sure to check products for preservatives and side ingredients and make sure they are certified gluten free.
Always verify nutritional information independently.
To store keto sliced bread, I keep my bread in a ziploc bag in a dark, cool spot in our pantry.
You can store sliced bread for up to a week after baking.
To freeze keto sliced bread, wrap baked loaf tightly in foil and place inside a plastic bag.
Let naturally thaw in the refrigerator or on the counter before slicing.

This keto sandwich bread doesn't need a lot of fussy equipment or tools – but there are a couple things that will make baking this bread (and other baked keto diet foods) effortless!
Following a ketogenic diet means substituting gluten and grains for foods with lower net carbs – which sometimes means specialty ingredients like psyllium husk powder, gluten free baking soda, olive oil, coconut oil, guar gum, coconut flour, and other special "flour" blends.
This bread has a smaller ingredient list than many – and requires only almond flour, whey protein isolate, xantham gum, and gluten free baking powder.
You can find all the ingredients in my list below – as well as recommended silicone baking mat or parchment paper – that will make baking regular bread a snap, too!

Slowly add in the water and stir with a wooden spoon, stirring slowly as you add water, until your dough comes together.
Bake at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes - until puffy and golden brown. You will see air bubbles on the sides of the bread, similar to the way the bread looks inside.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on a rack before slicing.
Only slice off the bread you're going to eat - pre-slicing bread will cause it to dry out or mold faster.

Anaconda: Obscure Object of Desire in Newfoundland
InvestorIntel | July 30, 2015 | No Comments
Unusually, a small collection of gold mines in far off Newfoundland is showing the potential to be a fought-over asset. We might compare Anaconda Mining to a Faberge Egg in that it's a small object that people lust after adding to their collection. Like Faberge Eggs the assets in questions were long overlooked but put together in a collection (as Malcolm Forbes did, with the eggs) they suddenly become highly desirable.
Anaconda Mining Inc. (TSX: ANX) is a miner that has pursued a stealth strategy of accumulating properties and has ended up owning a goodly chunk of Newfoundland with one mine in operation and should, if things go to plan, end up with a whole string of satellite mines feeding the same central plant.
The starter's gun went off this week when Anaconda revealed that the obscure Plantro Venture Group Ltd. had announced an intention to offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Anaconda at a price of CAD$0.035, which was below the recent market price of Anaconda's shares. The gap then widened even further with ANX hitting 5 cts. This was due to a combination of the bid giving the target some long overdue attention from the market's bottom-feeders and some interesting exploration results. Our colleague Peter Clausi has dealt with the takeover offer already so here we shall look at the exploration results and the evolution of the company's results.
Exploration Results
On the eve of the takeover offer Anaconda announced the results of its exploration program at Stog'er Tight. This program is a preliminary to a 2,800-tonne bulk sample to be undertaken in Autumn of 2015 and the publication of an NI43-101 report in September. Thus far the exploration program has included: stripping of the overburden to expose the historical mining surface, detailed geological mapping, channel sampling and near-surface drilling in the main pit area where Anaconda ultimately expects to begin mining of the Stog'er Tight Deposit.
Anaconda drilled several holes on the western side of the main pit area to establish both the outer limits of the mineralization and the historical pit configuration in that direction. It stripped overburden to expose the historical mining surface to aid in refining the block model. The results from the exploration work will be used to determine the location of the bulk sample.
Stog'er Tight
The curiously named Stog'er Tight deposit was discovered by Noranda in 1988. This gold deposit is located three kms east of the Pine Cove mill near Baie Verte. There have been two attempts to mine the Stog'er Tight deposit. Exploration work in 2014 included the drilling of sixteen infill holes, with the best of them returned 10.52 g/t Au over 3.5 metres, 8.13 g/t over 4.0 metres, and 7.2 g/t over 4.0 metres. Several historical holes had returned high grades, including 4.23 g/t over 7.9 metres, 10.10 g/t over 2.5 metres, and 5.2 g/t over 3.7 metres.
The last resource estimate, dating from 2010, included 65,200 tonnes of reserves at 4.96 g/t Au, 95,000 indicated tonnes at 7.04 g/t, and 53,000 inferred tonnes at 5.75 g/t.
Channel Sampling
The channel sampling program consisted of 58 channels, covering 323 metres, sampled on the exposed central and eastern portions of the main pit area. Channels were chosen to coincide with drill section lines with regularly-spaced infilling.
Highlights of the gold results from the channel sampling include:
83 g/t over 4.38 metres including 26.50 g/t over 1.42 metres and 14.80 g/t over 0.95 metres
55 g/t over 4.97 metres including 30.40 g/t over 0.98 metres
58 g/t over 6.02 metres including 18.5 g/t over 1.06 metres
00 g/t over 5.69 metres
At the same time Anaconda tested the margins of the western portion of the main pit area near surface via an 8-hole, 222-metre diamond drill program. Six holes were either condemnation or pit-design holes however another one (BN-15-217) tested the potential western extension of the Stog'er Tight Deposit, located approximately 15 metres west of the previously known limits of the deposit. It intersected mineralization of 2.78 g/t over 9.34 metres from 12.56 metres to 21.90 metres; including 5.15 g/t over 3.65 metres. None of the holes were really all that great but this last one shows the potential to widen out the pit.
The company has received its approvals for extracting a 2,800-tonne bulk sample and has begun the process of permitting a 30,000-tonne bulk sample in the late fall as part of its fiscal 2016 mining budget. Frankly this sounds more like trial mining than mere bulk sampling!
Monopolist Tendencies
As the map below shows, Anaconda has made like an aggressive Monopoly player and virtually collected the whole playing board on the Ming Peninsula.
The Mining Operation
The mine at Pine Cove dates back to 2007 when Anaconda commissioned the Pine Cove open pit mine. At the time the deposit had an indicated resource of 2.63 million tonnes grading 2.93 g/t gold and an inferred resource of 254,150 tonnes grading 2.11 g/t gold.
The Pine Cove Mine is an open pit, truck, and shovel operation with eight haul trucks and two excavators. It is contract mined but the mine has in-house supervision and management, with single shifts of 10 hours. On average, 9,000 tonnes per day are extracted from the mine. The pit is currently at 40 metres below starting elevation.
The baseload production at the mill is approximately 15,000 ounces per year.
Production Expansion through New Deposits
Anaconda's goal is to double annual production of gold from the current production of approximately 15,000 ounces to approximately 30,000 ounces. It also wants to extend the life of the project to 10 years or more. The strategy to this is to develop two styles of mineralization:
Develop more Pine Cove-like pits (i.e. Stog'er Tight) that provide bulk tonnage at roughly 2 g/t
Exploit high-grade veins like Deer Cove, Romeo & Juliet, that can be blended with the Pine Cove pit feed (or future Pine Cove-like pits) at a lower incremental cost while increasing the overall head grade.
The Point Rousse deposit is being targeted as it has a high-grade "layer", which along with a marginal increase to throughput, would produce the incremental ounces to reach approximately 30,000 ounces of annual production. Anaconda envisions creating an operating complex on the Ming's Bight Peninsula with multiple pits and trucking the ore back to the Pine Cove mill.
Earnings Outlook
The current sloppy gold price is doing no-one any favours but conventional wisdom would say that a mine of Anaconda's size should not really be viable at current levels. Interestingly though the companies losses per quarter are surprisingly small and any upturn in the gold price should flow straight down to the bottom line. The table below shows the recent results for the company with revenues looking particularly healthy in the last reported quarter on the back of production rises.
Production is king and right-sized production meshes with our mantra even more. Anaconda certainly has a vast territory that appears prospective for many other deposits to feed its central mill.
While the market may not credit Anaconda with being onto something with its "small is beautiful" concept, its potential aggressor has obviously passed its magnifying glass over the company and decided not only that it likes what it sees but that it wants to grab it while it's still going cheap. Luckily for Anaconda's holders and unfortunately for the predator, it's not going cheap enough!

Sadly, it is reasonable to expect more confrontations like those in Charlottesville, Virginia. That kind of violence—the murder of a young woman, the vicious beating of a young man, the intimidation and physical harm visited upon counter-protestors—has no place in our social and civic discourse, and must be disavowed by leaders great and minor, public and private, national and community. The notion that the actions of the fascist agitators were morally equivalent to those of the counter-protesters is at once foolish, subversive, and alarmingly foul.
Avowed white supremacists have acknowledged feeling comforted by the remarks of President Trump and help us understand the egregious failure of his leadership. How can we respond to armed engagement between civilians in our public squares and to the gravely un-American statements by our president?
Our response should include peaceful engagement in politics by other means. Struggles over symbols and history are important. We believe, however, that an even better way to repudiate and repair history's harms is to embrace a renewed intensity in the struggle for opportunity. The civil wrongs espoused by today's haters must never again be the American way. While resisting the damnable we must also be persistent guardians of the righteous progress justice demands.

What Is Critical Race Theory And Why Republicans Want To Ban It, Calling It 'Anti-American'

From Meaww.com….
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced on March 17, 2021: "There is no room in classrooms for things like critical race theory". Weeks later, on March 29, a Texas state lawmaker introduced a bill to ban Critical Race Theory (CRT) from public schools. On March 30, a Rhode Island state lawmaker introduced a similar bill. Across the nation, Republicans are slowly and steadily attacking the very foundations of education on race and racism, targeting CRT in particular.
This attack isn't new. In September 2020, former President Donald Trump's administration issued a directive to federal agencies to stop all training that relies on CRT. Reportedly, this was an institutionalized attack by Republicans on educating Americans about race. Attacking CRT, in particular, can be an effective way to end meaningful discussions around racism. Following this movement helps Americans understand why it is a vital part of every child's education and why the GOP is targeting it, and what they hope to achieve. Let's deep dive into understanding CRT itself.
'Accepting the presence of white supremacy, understanding the role of racism and acknowledging racism'
Critical Race Theory can be seen as a movement, not just a system of education. In its most basic form, CRT helps people recognize the effects of historical racism in modern American life. It originated in the 1980s, as a sub-field of legal studies. Kimberlé Crenshaw and Derrick Bell are widely considered to be the founders of CRT. Back then, the duo used CRT to address how the conditions of African-American communities had not improved despite civil rights legislation. Over the years, it has advanced from a field of legal studies to become a key way to understand society as a whole.

Amnesty Presses UN For Burma Arms Embargo
Tendai Maphosa
Amnesty International is urging the U.N. security council to impose an arms embargo on Burma, and urged the country's main arms suppliers - China and India - to suspend all deals. Tendai Maphosa has more in this report for VOA from London.
Amnesty International issued a statement Monday urging the United Nations Security Council to immediately impose a comprehensive and mandatory arms embargo on Burma.
Amnesty also called on the principal suppliers of arms to Burma, particularly China and India, to stop arms deals with the country.
Since 1988, Amnesty said, China has supplied Burma's army with a range of military equipment. The group says India has also agreed to supply military equipment to Burma.
The military government crushed pro-democracy demonstrations last week when troops used live ammunition, tear gas and batons to drive demonstrators off the streets. Hundreds of people, including Buddhist monks, were arrested for their role in the demonstrations. Many monasteries were ransacked and sealed.
In a statement Amnesty's Irene Khan said a message must be sent urgently to Burma military leaders that their brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters will not be tolerated or fueled by any member of the international community.
The Burmese Embassy in London failed to respond to VOA's request for a comment on the situation in the country.
Though the full extent of the violent crackdown is not yet known, state television reports the killing of eight protesters and a Japanese journalist during the clampdown.
But Amnesty spokesperson Demelza Hauser says the numbers could very well be in the hundreds and fears a worsening of the situation.
"In the past when political opponents of the military government have been arrested they have been treated extremely badly torture and ill treatment remain an enormous concern, when people are detained they are often held incommunicado, they do not have access to anybody, they are extremely vulnerable and in a very highly charged political situation such as the one we've seen over the last week it's a great risk to those people who are detained that people don't know where they are," said Hauser.
The authorities in Burma have cut off telecommunications making it even more difficult to get information from the country. Amnesty's Hauser says the only way forward is to maintain pressure on the government.
"We do know from speaking to former prisoners that sustained pressure over a number of years did in the past bring about an improvement in conditions of detention for some prisoners," said Hauser.
The protests began with small marches against fuel price rises in mid-August. Buddhist monks then took the lead in widespread demonstrations calling for freedom and democracy in the military ruled country. Troops later ended the protests when they opened fire on demonstrators and arrested hundreds of participants.

While state action means Florida jails will be relieved of housing mentally ill inmates who should be getting treatment elsewhere, Alachua County's jail will realize only limited help for its overcrowded conditions.
Earlier this month, lawmakers agreed to spend $16.6 million for 373 additional beds that could be used for these mentally ill inmates at treatment facilities around the state. Legislators also approved an additional $1 million to treat these inmates still in jail.
As of Friday, 294 inmates statewide were awaiting placement in these hospitals, said Al Zimmerman, spokesman for Florida's Department of Children & Families. Of those, 223 had been waiting for placement longer than 15 days - the maximum time a jail is supposed to hold an inmate in need of psychiatric treatment.
"Our goal is - and we plan to accomplish this goal - to have zero people waiting more than 15 days come July 1," Zimmerman said.
The issue of mentally ill inmates being housed in jails came to a head last year when a Pinellas County judge threatened jail time for the former secretary of the Department of Children & Families over delays in placing inmates in treatment facilities who had been declared incompetent to stand trial.
The Alachua County jail, meantime, typically houses approximately nine inmates who are on such a waiting list, said Maj. Robert Chapman, the jail's director.
The jail has 920 beds. But because of the type of medical attention needed by some inmates, such as those awaiting placement in psychiatric hospitals, some must be isolated from others and not all that space can be utilized. Therefore, jail staff has just been making do, Chapman said.
"We're just walking very carefully in the hallways," Chapman said about conditions at the county jail. "Every county has the same dilemma."
Portable beds are being used to handle the overflow, Chapman said.
While the number of Alachua County jail inmates slated for treatment isn't high, "eight beds is eight beds," Chapman said, referring to the current number of inmates awaiting placement. Those eight inmates are both male and female, ranging in age from their early 20s to 50s.
Work to add extra space and beds is supposed to start this year at the jail.
The Alachua County jail is dealing with a longstanding overcrowding problem. Last week, Alachua County Sheriff Sadie Darnell told county commissioners the situation at the facility is in a "state of grave concern." The jail has an operational capacity of 782 inmates but has been housing more than 1,000 inmates for approximately two years, according to the Sheriff's Office, which oversees jail operations.
Florida currently has six mental health facilities with about 2,400 beds. Three are secure facilities with slots for inmates declared incompetent, including Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee, the North Florida Evaluation and Treatment Center in Gainesville and the South Florida Evaluation and Treatment Center in Miami. Zimmerman said the Evaluation and Treatment Center in Gainesville is not scheduled to receive any of the additional beds because 87 were added there last year.
Maggie Labarta, president/CEO of Meridian Behavioral Healthcare, warned that the $16.6 million for additional beds won't end the crisis the state is facing over adequate mental health care
"If you don't have basic mental health services available, you access a higher and more costly system," Labarta said. "The mentally ill more and more end up in jail."

Q: Business event handling I am working on a labour management service that allows it's user to enter their timesheets, allows manager to modify those timesheets and sync attendance over web connectors or web services. Now, we need to have a feature that sends users email if there total week hours are more than weekly hours limit. It's event driven like as soon as added shifts for the user is more than limit, send an email unlike scheduler jobs.
I'd like to know some best practices that I can use to achieve this. I don't want to get into my existing code and add number of lines in existing code, I'd like to accomplish it with as little as possible change in existing code base and add code only related to trigger an event and rest event handler should be taking care of sending emails.

In the digital age, customer service is often online as well as in-person and over the phone. Online companies, like quick dropshipping businesses, may exclusively resort to virtual interaction. Without the ability to read one another's facial expressions, you and your clients or customers might find yourselves miscommunicating. How does online etiquette translate into virtual spaces? How can you get everyone on the same page so that you can offer the best customer service possible? Talking to people over the internet or email is convenient, but here are a few tips for interacting with people when you are only using text.
This note should be obvious, but you have to be more conscious about it when you are speaking to someone without your voices. People tend to interpret text more negatively than words spoken aloud, so what might sound friendly in your head may come across as negative to your reader. Be sure to use positive language and utilize punctuation accordingly.
Depending on the situation, it may be appropriate to use more than words. When you send a message to a customer, such as replying to a comment on Facebook, consider adding an emoji or a gif. Not only does doing so make you seem friendlier, images are sometimes capable of expressing thoughts and emotions in ways words cannot (and they help you avoid redundancy, especially when you are replying to numerous people at a time).
Many rules of speaking aloud apply to a text conversation. You know how sometimes elderly folks email or message you on Facebook and TYPE IN ALL CAPS? Do not do that with your customers. They will either interpret it as yelling, see you as incompetent, or have difficulty reading your message.
Put yourself in a stranger's shoes: if you were to approach someone for information, how would you like to receive it? Do you have a sense of humor that someone else may not understand immediately? Keep in mind that there are generational differences, too. Older folks might use an ellipsis where younger people opt for a dash to break up their sentences.
Do your best to respond to people as quickly as possible. If someone messages you on social media, reply even more promptly than you would an email or phone call (due to the nature of social media, customers might be online and waiting for you, or their message might be so short that getting back to them the next day feels awkward).
If you have to do a little research, say so. This is one of the benefits of virtual customer service. If you were on the phone with someone, you would have to put them on hold for an unknown amount of time while you look up the answer to their question. Interacting with them online, however, affords you more opportunity to use the internet or ask someone else. Just be sure you say, "Give me a moment to find the solution for you!" or risk making customers think they are not worthy of your attention.
Following up with customers lets them know that even after your conversation has ended, you are still thinking about them. Send them follow-up questions, comments, or thank-you notes inquiring about how the solution worked out or if they have any feedback to share. Online communication helps you reach people speedily while allowing them to respond to you in their own time.
The best customer service usually comes from another person, but if customers have quick questions that you answer repeatedly, consider integrating a chatbot into your website. Chat boxes are excellent platforms for people to get a hold of you, but chatbots are simple artificial intelligence applications that can provide pre-programmed responses. Having one can save you time, and customers unexcited about speaking with a person do not have to.
Encourage participation when it comes to clients or B2B customers. Business meetings often occur in person or via web chat platforms like Skype, but when it comes to email or social media discussions, sometimes people are left out of the loop. While it's challenging to talk over someone with digital communication, make sure that every relevant person is receiving messages and has a chance to say what they need to.
Online customer service may have different traditions than vocal, but you can reach more people than ever before without spreading yourself too thin. How do you engage with clients or customers when speaking to them online?


The book is a product of the consultation experiences gained in the process of helping four mills that are running their ring frames at the highest spindle speed in the world; and so it would be of great help in outlining a practical plan of action.

Marvel + Hostess = Superhero Sweetness
As I mentioned in the monthly update, to sort of tie in with the release of the new Avengers film this week I was going to try and scan a few Hostess ads featuring characters from Marvel Comics, and I ended up with more than a few as I found six more for a total of 10. They're a fun read as each ad is designed to look like a page from a comic book. The copyrights range from 1975-1981 and in most of them are ads for Fruit Pies or Twinkies, though one has Cupcakes. A couple of them are from the backs of comic book covers which is nicer paper so they scanned better than the others that were on the lesser paper from the interiors so there is some yellowing going on despite my edits. I'll ad these to the Vault 1541 Facebook page as well if you'd like to share them from there. Enjoy!
6/4/18 UPDATE: I found another Marvel Hostess ad and I also learned that Hostess made similar ads featuring DC Comics characters so I'll have to see I have any of those some time.

The Games That Shaped Video and Computer Entertainment (VG&CE - December 1989)
This is a six-page article that appeared in the December 1989 issue of Video Games & Computer Entertainment (VG&CE) magazine. I came across it shortly after Game Informer (GI) released its top 300 games list and I thought it would be interesting to see what a magazine thought were the important games nearly 30 years earlier. Of course, GI's list, which I wrote a little about here, is a mix of staff favorites, well reviewed games, and those that are historically significant, whereas VG&CE's article is not the writer's favorite games or best selling games, simply games that had the biggest impact on the industry (through 1989 which for consoles is around the time the 16-bit generation hit North America).
If you don't want to read the whole article, I'll list the 12 games below. However, you might not understand all of VG&CE's choices without reading it. There are the usual arcade classics and early computer games but there is also a very odd choice at #8.
Flight Simultor
Smurf Rescue
Miner 2049er
Impossible Mission
Micro League Baseball
Defender of the Crown
If you're curious, the GI list includes half of VG&CE's choices: Pong, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Defender, Zork, and Wizardry.

Year 2: April Update
Since my last update I posted the usual ads, a short write up about Game Informer's top 300 list and my favorite games, had a week of baseball posts, and made some wrestling videos about the LJN toys and other WWF stuff (mostly books). I also did decide to go ahead and expand the commercials on the YouTube channel, and today uploaded one for the Air Raiders from Hasbro:
The big game news for myself is that Sega announced Shenmue I & II are going to be released for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One later this year. It's something I've been waiting quite a while for and mentioned it last year as a possible game to be unveiled at 2017's E3. Normally I don't play re-releases of old games if I've played the original but Shenmue is a favorite of mine and this will be the first time both games will appear on a single platform in the U.S. That's significant in that progress could be carried over between the games in other regions where both games were released on Dreamcast; we got Shenmue II only on the original Xbox here in North America. The next E3 is less than two months away so game announcements and leaks will be ramping up for a bit.
April has also brought some big video game releases that have grabbed my attention, though as usual most are M-rated so I won't talk too much about them. I completed Far Cry 5 which plays and looks great. I wasn't too interested in the story, however, and think Far Cry 4 is better in that regard. I'm playing Yakuza 6 now and am in chapter 8 out of 12 I believe. I'd say Yakuza 0 is better, mostly because the sub stories were more outrageous (at least so far) and Majima is a fun character to play as. God of War is a series I've barely touched, only trying a few of them for a short time. The protagonist Kratos just didn't appeal to me; however, the one released last week is getting very high praise so I feel compelled to check it out when I have time.
MLB: The Show 18 is another one I've put a fair amount of time into. Road to the Show mode is what I play the most of and for that I created myself as a pitcher and the G.I. Joe Wilmer "Hardball" Duggleby as a center fielder (I posted about Hardball during baseball week here). I hadn't been taking screenshots but here are a couple of the trophy auto-pics the PS4 took:
Unfortunately, I'm not likely going to be able to make a video this week either as some family stuff has come up. That might also cause me to miss the next game ads post which would be my first miss since I started the blog. It's possible I'll manage to post it as my weekend plans are still up in the air a bit. I do have a video game magazine article post ready to go for Tuesday. With the new Avengers movie coming out this week I should have got a Marvel video ready but I've been sidetracked by other things lately, including playing too many video games. Sorry! That being said, I don't think my DC Comics week was very popular so I probably didn't do a good job with that. Oh well, maybe I can at least get a few scans together as I noticed some good Marvel/Hostess ads in some comic books recently.

Gaming Ads: JVC Musical Industries
JVC was founded in 1927 as a subsidiary of the Victor Talking Company, an American record company. After a merger with RCA, it was known as RCA Victor but when the two split it became Victor Company of Japan which is what JVC stands for; VCJ would make more sense but it doesn't quite have the same ring to it. The branch that would become a video game publisher, at least for a short time, was founded in 1972 as Victor Musical Industries.
While it was created as an audio business, JVC Musical Industries published video games from 1990 to 1996. It released more than 25 games in that span, including a variety of Star Wars console games through a partnership with Lucasfilm Games (aka LucasArts) which was primarily a computer game company at the time. Some other Lucas games from JVC include The Secret of Monkey Island (Sega CD), Defenders of Dynatron City (NES), Ghoul Patrol (SNES), and Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures (SNES).
Also of note is that JVC brought the Wondermega to the U.S. in 1994 as the X'Eye Multi Entertainment System. The X'Eye is essentially a Sega Genesis and Sega CD combined into a single console. It plays all of the software of the Sega consoles but also has additional features and unique software, such as Top Hits Karaoke and Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia which were included with the console. The Sega CD game Prize Fighter was also bundled with the X'Eye.

I started posting at Game Informer's (GI) website recently as an attempt to attract a little more traffic to this blog and so I wrote a bit about the magazine's top 300 games list that was published in GI's 300th issue and decided to add some thoughts here. Obviously lists like this will be subjective, though I still found it to be rather disappointing. The list favored modern games over 30-year-old games and JRPGs that appeared on Nintendo and Sony platforms. Being someone who grew up with Sega consoles and RPGs on the Commodore 64, I simply cannot relate very well to GI's list.
Admittedly, putting an all-time list together is quite difficult as I struggled to make my own favorite 100 games list. Personally I keep a list of favorite games per platform which is much easier to do and at the very least, I'd say it's better to make separate lists for decades or split the list somewhere in the '90s, when games transitioned from 2D to 3D and the console format went from cartridges to CD-ROMs. When making my own list I found it quite difficult to rank a Genesis game versus a PlayStation 4 game, and impossible to compare classic arcade games from the '80s to modern day games that feature realistic graphics and voice acting. The modern games are more memorable in part because they would be more recently played but also because they can have more of an emotional impact on the player.
While GI did choose games from two series of games from my top 10 list (NHL Hockey and Sid Meier's Civilization), none of my top 10 favorites of all time appear anywhere on their top 300. The most puzzling omission is Sid Meier's Pirates! (1987) as that is an amazing game for its time and is still fun today, and it got an update in 2004. It's an open world game where you are a pirate and basically do what you want as you can ally with any one of four nations, sink enemy ships, invade towns by sea or land, search for treasure, and even get married. Another game that I feel is deserving is StarSiege: Tribes. Normally I have a hard time selecting online-only games for a top list but the Tribes series -- specifically the first two from developer Dynamix -- are too significant to overlook despite not being as popular as games like Quake and Unreal Tournament.
The first Tribes (1998) is an online shooter with jetpacks and large, wide open maps when most shooters of the '90s were still focused on combat in tight spaces. It also has the chat program IRC built into it and a great server browser to help players find teams and organize matches. Tribes 2 added a built-in community with team management, email, news, video recording, and voice chat (didn't work well but it was an early attempt). Fans of the game even created an application called T2TV that was used to stream matches and had people shoutcasting. These games were made for online competition and did things better than many of today's games vying for the eSports spotlight do. I'll write more about Tribes later this year as December marks its 20th anniversary.
Here are my top 50 but the rankings beyond the top 20 or so don't really matter much; they're simply games I enjoyed or still enjoy playing:

Like I said, I had Sega consoles, not Nintendo, so my experience with Mario and The Legend of Zelda has been too limited to include. Of course, if you've been following the blog since the start you'll know I've mentioned that quite a few times. I don't dislike Nintendo or any game companies but nobody has time to play every game and Nintendo is one I've had to miss most of to this point. However, I did get a Game Boy when it released and did play Super Mario Land and Metroid II, and I've tried some of Nintendo's other games, albeit briefly.

Gaming Ads: Jaleco USA
Jaleco Ltd. was founded in 1974 as Japan Leisure Co., Ltd. and manufactured amusement games. In 1982 it entered the arcade game industry and in 1983 shortened its name to Jaleco. Based in Illinois, Jaleco USA opened around 1988 to distribute arcade titles and publish home video games. Through 1994 all of its console and handheld games were for Nintendo platforms (NES, SNES, Game Boy) as it didn't publish its first non-Nintendo games until 1995 when the 32-bit generation arrived with the releases of the Sega Saturn and Sony's PlayStation (PS).
While Jaleco published a wide variety of games, it is best known for its long running baseball series of games called Bases Loaded. No less than eight Bases Loaded games were released between 1988 and 1995. Jaleco only released two games for Sega platforms -- Base Loaded '96 for Saturn and Carrier for Dreamcast -- as it focused on the PlayStation in the late '90s, releasing 14 PS games from 1995-2000. In 2000 Jaleco was purchased by Hong Kong-based Pacific Century CyberWorks (PCCW). Jaleco USA merged with PCCW's VR-1 Entertainment to become Jaleco Entertainment in 2002.
Jaleco Entertainment released a few new titles across the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube, as well as some Virtual Console games for the Wii. The North American Jaleco branch went out of business sometime between 2008 and 2011. In Japan there were a few more company name changes though it went bankrupt in 2014. A company called Hamster Corporation may own some of Jaleco's properties today as it has re-published a few former Jaleco games digitally for current game consoles.

[YouTube] WWF: LJN's Toys & Other Stuff
The World Wrestling Federation was a Saturday afternoon staple when I was a kid in the mid-'80s. If I recall correctly, wrestling came on the TV around 11 AM, maybe noon, after the morning cartoons came to an end. It was 60 minutes of wrestling mayhem featuring some larger than life characters, with good guys vs. bad guys (sometimes gals too!). It was a lot of fun during a time when nobody cared about being politically correct; the personas many of the wrestlers had tended to be rather colorful and over-the-top, which made them appealing to children of the '80s.
https://youtu.be/Sl0xKbY9bP4
LJN capitalized on the WWF's popularity with a line of toys beginning in 1984 and released six series, one each year, with the last one reaching Canadian stores only in 1989. The toys have some heft to them and aren't poseable at all so they aren't exactly action figures. On average I'd say they are around seven inches tall and weigh 10 ounces. They aren't the most exciting toys but they do make great display pieces. A wrestling ring playset was sold as well that had a cage match add-on sold separately. LJN also sold thumb wrestling toys in two-packs; each kid puts a thumb wrestler on, locks their fingers together with another kid, and has the toys battle each other.
Hulk Hogan rose to the top and became the face of the league during the height of the WWF's popularity. In 1985 Hogan had his own cartoon called Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling that featured many other wrestlers as well. That only lasted two seasons and used professional voice actors rather than the wrestlers themselves. Many wrestlers did get acting gigs though, some of those highlights include: Hulk Hogan was in Rocky III and his own TV show called Thunder in Paradise; Rowdy Roddy Piper starred in John Carpenter's They Live with Keith David; Andre the Giant is in The Princess Bride; Jesse "The Body" Ventura appears with Arnold Schwarzenegger in both Predator and The Running Man; and Captain Lou Albano was Nintendo's Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show.
https://youtu.be/0b2_MwZa55M
I photographed and/or scanned the items in the video but not too many pages of the books aside from the postcards. For Hulkamania I did scan one of the pages where it appears Hogan is signing at a Toys "R" Us location and a couple pages from his team up with Mr. T that has Muhammad Ali as a referee.
Here is the postcard book where I did scan every page in order.
The last group includes a sticker album based on the aforementioned cartoon, 1986 calendar, Razor Ramon autograph, and The Wrestling Album.
Although I stopped following wrestling on TV around the late '80s, I did still play some of the wrestling video games in the '90s. I've not posted LJN's ads yet but you can see some WWF video game ads on the blog's Flickr account in these albums: Acclaim Entertainment and Acclaim (Multiple Brands). Here's a preview of LJN which should be posted in June:
By the way, you do need to turn up the volume for the videos (after the intro). I'm sorry about that as I didn't realize until after I had filmed both videos that the input for the recording device was lower than usual (forgot I decreased it for the 2-XL video).

Le tramway de Cannes a fonctionné dans cette ville de 1900 à 1933.

Histoire
Plusieurs projets pour desservir la ville voient le jour. Le premier à être adopté, en 1874, est celui de la circulation d'omnibus tirés par des chevaux. Ces omnibus ont fonctionné jusqu'à l'arrivée du tramway en 1899.

Compagnie des tramways de Cannes
La compagnie des tramways de Cannes (CTC), une filiale de l'Omnium Lyonnais, est créée le  à Lyon. Ses statuts sont déposés chez maitre Pétrus Bernard notaire dans cette ville. Son siège se situe également dans cette ville, 39 rue Thomassin (siège de l'Omnium Lyonnais).

Les  et , deux décrets déclarent d'utilité publique, la construction d'une ligne allant de La Bocca à Golfe-Juan via Cannes et de Vallauris à Antibes via Golfe-Juan.

Histoire du réseau
Le réseau s'étend sur .

 La ligne principale longe la Méditerranée, via la Bocca, traverse Cannes par la rue Félix-Faure et la route d'Antibes, puis contourne le littoral vers Golfe-Juan et Antibes.
 La ligne du Cannet à son origine place Félix-Faure, puis parvient à la gare de Cannes via la rue de la Gare et le boulevard Carnot.
 La ligne Vallauris, quant à elle, commence à l'église de Vallauris, rejoint la route de Golfe-Juan et s'arrête à la gare de Golfe-Juan.

La construction débuta en 1898 avant même que la municipalité ne donne son autorisation.

Les lignes La Bocca - Golfe-Juan et Cannes - Le Cannet sont inaugurées le .

La ligne d'Antibes à Vallauris est ouverte le .

La ligne de La Bocca est prolongée jusqu'à Mandelieu et inaugurée le .

En , une ligne allant de Cagnes-sur-Mer à Antibes est mise en service par la compagnie des Tramway de Nice et du Littoral (TNL).

Il est alors possible de se rendre en tramway de Mandelieu à Menton en faisant deux changements.

Le réseau fonctionne normalement durant la Première Guerre mondiale, mais à la suite de dommages sur la voie et de la ligne aérienne dus à une tempête, la ligne de Mandelieu est entièrement reconstruite en site propre.

La ligne côtière est exploitée de La Bocca à Antibes. Les lignes intérieures du Cannet et de Vallauris à Golfe-Juan sont exploitées en navette.

Le , un incendie détruit le dépôt des tramways et 18 motrices sur 31. Afin de rétablir le service, dix voitures sont louées au Tramway de Nice mais il fallut les rendre pour la période hivernale.

La CTC acheta alors des motrices d'occasion : quatre provenant des tramways de Melun et huit des tramways de l'Ouest Varois

C'est à cette époque que le premier service d'autobus commence à opérer. Cela mit à mal la situation financière de la CTC et le , elle est autorisée à utiliser ses propres autobus (6 Saurer et 6 Berliet) afin de compléter les services du tramway.

La compétition est rude et la CTC se trouve dans l'obligation de remplacer les tramways par des autobus. Les lignes de tramway entre Cannes (La Source) et Antibes et de La Bocca à Mandelieu furent converties en lignes d'autobus le . Les lignes du centre-ville disparurent le .

Les lignes
 La Bocca - Cannes (place Félix Faure) - Golfe-Juan (9,5km) : ouverture le 25-02-1899 ;
 Cannes (place Félix Faure) - Le Cannet (3km) : (embranchement) ouverture le 25-02-1899 ;
 Vallauris - Golfe-Juan - Antibes (7,5km) : (embranchement) ouverture le  ;
 Mandelieu- La Bocca (4km): (prolongement) ouverture le  ;
Le centre du réseau est la Place Félix-Faure à Cannes. Le dépôt se trouvait rue Cirrode à l'Est de la ville.

À l'origine il n'existait pas de liaison avec la compagnie des tramways de Nice. Les voies des deux compagnies se croisaient à Antibes. Pendant la guerre de 1914-1918, elle fut créée pour permettre aux convois de marchandises de circuler de Nice à Cannes

Matériel roulant
Le service des toutes premières lignes est assuré par 16 motrices, numérotées de 1 à 16, et construites par La Buire à Lyon.

Six motrices supplémentaires, numérotées de 17 à 22, sont achetées à la fin de l'année 1899 pour compléter le parc. Leurs plateformes sont plus basses que celles des voitures 1 à 16 et les portes d'accès sont situées sur le côté et non plus à l'angle.

Le trafic augmente et la Compagnie des tramways de Cannes se procure huit nouvelles motrices.

Trois autres voitures sont aussi achetées entre 1905 et 1908.

La compagnie achète deux motrices supplémentaires en 1907 pour desservir la ligne de Mandelieu. Ces deux voitures sont utilisées avec de nouvelles remorques.

En hiver, le parc n'est pas suffisant ; il faut alors louer des voitures circulant sur d'autres réseaux du groupe Omnium Lyonnais (Fontainebleau, Troyes, Poitiers, Pau et Avignon).

On fait l'acquisition de cinq nouvelles voitures construites par la CIMT et numérotées de 26 à 30.

Deux autres voitures identiques à celles achetées par le Tramway de Fontainebleau viennent compléter le parc en 1919 (numérotées 25 et 31).

 N° 1 à 16: motrices construites par La Buire à Lyon en 1899 ;
 N° 17 à 22: motrices construites par La Buire à Lyon en 1899 ;
 N° 23 à 24 : motrices construites en 1907, affectées à la ligne de Mandelieu ;
 N° 25: motrice du type Fontainebleau; construite par la CIMT en 1919 ;
 N° 26 à 30: motrices construites par la CIMT en 1913 ;
 N° 31: motrice du type Fontainebleau; construite par CIMT en 1919 ;
 N° 33 à 36: motrices provenant des tramways de Melun acquises en 1924.

La compagnie des tramways électriques de la Côte d'Azur (TCA)
La compagnie des tramways électriques de la Côte d'Azur reçoit la concession des lignes de Cannes à Grasse par Mouans-Sartoux, avec embranchement vers Valbonne. Seule la première ligne sera ouverte le  entre Cannes et Grasse. L'exploitation cesse le , à la suite de la faillite de la compagnie T.C.A . Elle est reprise le  par la compagnie des tramways de Cannes (CTC), jusqu'au , puis cesse définitivement.

Gunter Grass, Nobel-winning German novelist, dies aged 87
Published : Tuesday, 14 April, 2015, Time : 12:00 AM, View Count : 48
G?nter Grass, the German novelist, social critic and Nobel Prize winner whom many called his country's moral conscience but who stunned Europe when he revealed in 2006 that he had been a member of the Waffen-SS during World War II, died on Monday. He was 87.
Mr. Grass's publisher, the Steidl Verlag, said the author died in a clinic in the northern city of L?beck, which had been his home for decades. No cause of death was given.
Grass found success in every artistic form he explored - from poetry to drama and from sculpture to graphic art - but it wasn't until publication of his first novel, The Tin Drum, in 1959 that he found the international reputation which brought him the Nobel Prize for literature 40 years later. It propelled him to the forefront of postwar literature. Critics hailed the audacious sweep of his literary imagination. A severed horse's head swarming with hungry eels, a criminal hiding beneath a peasant woman's layered skirts, and a child who shatters windows with his high-pitched voice are among the memorable images that made "The Tin Drum" a worldwide triumph. The book's hero, Oskar Matzerath, wills himself at the age of 3 to stop growing, and thereafter expresses himself only by pounding drums. He was viewed as representing a German nation so morally stunted that it could not find the courage to prevent Nazism.
A speechwriter for the German chancellor Willy Brandt, Grass was never afraid to use the platform his fame afforded, campaigning for peace and the environment and speaking out against German reunification, which he compared to Hitler's "annexation" of Austria, fearing a reversal of the balance of power,
Grass was born in the Free City of Danzig - now Gdansk - in 1927, "almost late enough", as he said, to avoid involvement with the Nazi regime. Conscripted into the army in 1944 at the age of 16, he served as a tank gunner in the Waffen SS, bringing accusations of betrayal, hypocrisy and opportunism when he wrote about it in his 2006 autobiography, Peeling the Onion, reflecting on the vagaries of conscience and memory. "What I had accepted with stupid pride of youth I wanted to conceal after the war out of a recurrent sense of shame," he wrote. "But the burden remained, and no one could lighten it."
Yet the writer was taken with surprise by the strength of the reaction, arguing that he thought at the time that the SS was merely "an elite unit", that he had spoken openly about his wartime record in the 1960s, and that he had spent a lifetime "working through" the unquestioning beliefs of his youth in his writing. His war came to an end six months later having "never fired a shot", when he was wounded in Cottbus and captured in a military hospital by the US army. That he avoided committing war crimes was "not by merit", he insisted. "If I had been born three or four years earlier I would, surely, have seen myself caught up in those crimes." Even though he kept his identity of a SS fighter a secret, it has been said that had he confessed it earlier he would never have been able to pioneer the social changes of Germany.
Instead he trained as a stonemason, studied art in D?sseldorf and Berlin, and joined Hans Werner Richter's Group 47 alongside writers such as Ingeborg Bachmann and Heinrich B?ll. After moving to Paris in 1956 he began working on a novel which told the story of Germany in the first half of the 20th century through the life of a boy who refuses to grow.
A sprawling mixture of fantasy, family saga, bildungsroman and political fable, The Tin Drum was attacked by critics, denied the Bremen literature prize by outraged senators, burned in D?sseldorf and became a global bestseller.
Speaking to the Swedish Academy in 1999, Grass explained that the reaction taught him "that books can cause offence, stir up fury, even hatred, that what is undertaken out of love for one's country can be taken as soiling one's nest. From then on I have been controversial."
In 2012, Mr. Grass found himself the subject of further scrutiny after publishing a poem criticizing Israel for its hostile language toward Iran over its nuclear program.
A steady stream of provocative interventions in debates around social justice, peace and the environment followed, alongside poetry, drama, drawings and novels. In 1977 Grass tackled sexual politics, hunger and the rise of civilisation with a 500-page version of the Grimm brothers' fairytale The Fisherman and His Wife. The Rat (1986) explored the apocalpyse, as a man dreams of a talking rat who tells him of the end of the human race, while 1995's Too Far Afield explored reunification through east German eyes - prompting Germany's foremost literary critic, Marcel Reich-Ranicki, to brand the novel a "complete and utter failure" and to appear on the cover of Der Spiegel ripping a copy in half.
His last novel, 2002's Crabwalk, dived into the sinking of the German liner Wilhelm Gustloff in 1945, while three volumes of memoir - Peeling the Onion, The Box and Grimms' Words - boldly ventured into troubled waters.
Speaking to the Paris Review in 1991, Grass made no apology for his abiding focus on Germany's difficult past. "If I had been a Swedish or a Swiss author I might have played around much more, told a few jokes and all that," he said. "That hasn't been possible; given my background, I have had no other choice."
