Thanks to many friends/Seasoning community who came to the preview at Fringe Club on an Amber storm night 11 May. This featured 6 women survivors of human rights abuse which Caroline and her hubby Rico styled and photographed in Cambodia, to raise awareness on human trafficking and severe rights abuses in Asia and to raise funds for Hagar in support their recovery.
At last, our wish that these 6 women survivors' voice be heard is accomplished through this exhibition. Thanks to SCMP, Baccarat, Ming Pao Daily, Milk Magazine, Elle.com and a few radio/tv broadcast. Thanks to Melissa and Priscilla of Hagar, Vivian of our Sprout Team, Christine, Tim, Germaine and many friends to make this possible.
Honored that Christie's supported auctioning of the 3 limited edition portrait albums of our charity project.
For friends who missed the exhibition but want to support this heart-aching issue, you can still buy the books on line – Click here. All proceeds go to Hagar's survivor recovery.


This is a term that describes the use of the hands and other parts of the body for communicative purposes. The study of gesture has a long interdisciplinary history, drawing on socio-cultural theory, psychology, anthropology, linguistics, behavioural science, neuroscience, communication, performance studies and dance, and computer science. It is commonly subsumed under the larger umbrella term of kinesics that encompasses gestures, movement, posture, stillness, head movement, gaze, facial expressions and so on.
Much work has focused on the relationship of gesture and speech, gesture and thought, and the classifying of gestures. While there is much debate there are some settled classifications of gesture, including deictic gestures, motor gestures, symbolic gestures (emblems), iconic gestures and metaphoric gestures. Deictic gestures are generally understood as 'pointing gestures' that indicate real, implied or imaginary persons, objects, directions, etc., and are strongly related to their environment or 'gesture space', including their point of origin (origo) and occur with or without talk. Motor gestures, that is batons and beats, are commonly associated with coherence through rhythm, for example, marking initiation of new discourse or introduction of new sub-topics. Symbolic or emblematic gestures are highly conventional and 'lexicalized', such as the 'thumbs up' gesture meaning 'good' or 'well done'. Iconic gestures are visual representations of referential meaning, e.g. rapid hand movement up and down may indicates the action of chopping ginger. Metaphorical gestures are visual representation of abstract ideas and categories, e.g. displaying an empty palm hand may indicate 'presenting a problem'.
According to Charles Goodwin (2003a: 229–330), the distinction between pointing and iconic gestures is fuzzy as the former can trace the outline of what is being pointed at, and in this way mimic the shape of a deictic point and create an iconic display. Rather than considering different classes of gestures as separate, it is proposed then to use the iconic vs. deictic distinction to orient to each of these components either or both of which may contribute to the organization of a particular gesture.
Furthermore, Goodwin (2003b: 20) treats gestures alongside other communicative modes (e.g. body posture, gaze, talk, environmental structure, and so on) as part of embodied action within situated human interaction. In order to make some of their gestures meaningful or communicative, participants may need contextualise them in special ways, for example, by placing them explicitly in the field of vision of other participants. Thus, Goodwin proposes the following continuum: iconic gestures: as illustrative of the action but performed outside of the environment of the action (e.g. rotating finger indicating the movement of a propeller); symbiotic gestures: performed and made meaningful in relation to a particular environmental structure (e.g. rotating a paint brush over an area of a wall to be painted), and; transformative gestures: acting upon what they are representing (e.g. performing the act of painting with a brush).
Gesture can be understood as a mode; that is a set of semiotic resources, which draws on both temporal and spatial resources, the use of which is socially and culturally regulated in relationship to the context of communication.
Goodwin has examined the significance of gesture for communicative work particularly in complex work environments (1994). Adam Kendon (2004 Gesture: Visible Action as Utterance), David McNeill (1992, Hand and Mind: What Gestures Reveal About Thought) have been highly influential in the development of theories of gesture and communication both of whom are founders of the International Society for Gesture Studies (ISGS). Working within a social semiotic multimodal perspective, Jaworski and Thurlow (2009) have applied the meta-functions to deictic and representational gestures in a study of tourists' situated use of gesture to show how these gestures realize versions of representational meanings, interpersonal or identificational meaning, and interactional meanings.

Hatred's Birth
TITLE: Hatred's Birth
GENRES: Fantasy, drama, mythology.
SUMMARY: Jealousy and pettiness--how hatred was born on the Island.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This short story ties in with the Manitou Island serials listed above; as such, it might not make much sense out of context. This is my "genesis" story for Ocryx and Ocryana, the demons of Manitou Island. I felt this story required more of a storyteller, narrative style than a "showing," "you-are-there" style, and so decided to let someone else tell it. As such, some details in the retelling may not be correct; you can hardly blame me for that. Perhaps someday I will attempt another version. Please see "Unleashed" (a sort of prequel to this story) and "Reawakening" for how Ocryx and Ocryana were eventually freed.
"MANY HAVE CLAIMED you to be the eldest upon the Island. I don't know if this is true; but I wasn't certain who else I could turn to."
The medicine man sat cross legged upon the floor, the walls of stone rising high over his head as the gnarled old woman doddered around the room, rearranging and shifting things about in no pattern he could see. She muttered at his explanation for his presence there, and waved one hand dismissively.
"Not certain if it was meant to be an honor or something, but I'm hardly the eldest upon the Island. I'm certain there's a few Uroona older than I am..."
"Yet you were the one I was told might know the story which I seek. Of the demon. The creature beneath the lake."
"Ah, humm. So you were the one set him free after all those years, eh?"
Stick-In-The-Dirt blinked and sat upright, eyes widening. The old woman waved her hand again.
"Why else would you be seeking his story? But to relieve your own guilt? Somebody set him loose, the slavering dithering idiot..."
Stick-In-The-Dirt lowered his gaze to the floor. "I had not meant it. I wished only to help my tribe...I believe I already received my punishment." He shut his eyes and winced at the memory.
"Eh, you can hardly be blamed for his actions." The old woman picked up a wooden carving of some sort, looked it over, then muttered and tossed it aside. She wouldn't stand still for long. "And so now to understand him better, you wish to know his story...am I right? You think it could help you somehow, this knowledge of him?"
"I had hoped so. You seem to doubt it would work much."
"That's 'cause it won't. Knowing his story won't help you deal with him. He's a demon. He'll do what he likes, whether you understand why or not."
"I still had hoped to learn." He fidgeted. "You do know the story? Of how he came to be trapped beneath the lake?"
She snorted. "My grandmother told it to me. You can imagine how long ago that was. Knowing the way of things she probably heard it from her grandmother too...so it's not as if I was there, you see."
"He's been down there that long? Truly?"
"For as long as any upon the Island can remember, and longer. Ask any of them and they'd've told you they thought he was a children's story. Hah! At least somebody proved them wrong."
"And so how did it happen?"
"The way most of these things happen." She picked up a bowl and finally sat down, slowly easing herself to the floor with a grimace. "Someone started trouble. Somebody else got mad."
"Mind you, I was but a bitty little manitou when my grandmother told me this story; and she too was probably about my age when she heard it, and so on and so forth. I may forget parts of it by now. But I remember most of it. The important parts, at least.
"From what I hear, the name of the demon within the lake is O-cryx, He of the Glowing Eyes. This didn't always used to be his nickname; I suppose at one time in the far past he was simply Ocryx. I believe he was one of the first to have ever lived here. He was a manitou, like myself. A spirit. Created by Gitchi Manitou, the Great Spirit, so they say, to live upon the Island. He was one of the first of his kind, at least in these parts, and so the Island pretty much belonged to him alone. Gitchi Manitou entrusted it to him, told him that he and the Island were intertwined--one would not live without the other. Such is the way of things with manitous.
"When Ocryx first descended to the Island, I hear he looked much as we do now. He wasn't a demon, and he didn't look like a wolf with wings. In fact, from the way my grandmother told it, I would take it to be that he was quite handsome, a brave fit for any maid to marry. His hair was like crows' wings and his skin was like a sunset. The only thing different was his eyes. Bright green they were, like the great waters when the sun hits them just right. A most unusual color. Gitchi sent him to the Island and he made his home here. Mind you, your sort was not about yet, at least, not in any great number; there were not even many of my kind. He had just about only the birds and animals to keep him company as he wandered about the land. He didn't complain, that I hear, but Gitchi Manitou decided it wasn't good for a man, even if he was simply a spirit, to be alone, by himself. He decided to make Ocryx a companion.
"He called the manitou one day and presented him with his gift. Another, much like himself; only slender, thinner, more beautiful. Hair with a sheen as blue as a jay's wing, skin the color of the ore dug up from the earth and polished bright and set by a fire. Her eyes too were green, like his own, the way Gitchi had created them. She was named Ocryana-Who-Moves-Like-The-Wind.
"Gitchi Manitou presented her to Ocryx to be his companion and his mate so he would no longer be alone. They both accepted, and Ocryana moved in to live with her new husband. I'm not certain of all the details, you know; such stories change greatly over time. But I heard that at first, at least, the two of them were well suited for each other, that they loved each other fondly and spent all their days, and nights, together...today, though, one would hardly believe this...
"As the time went on, Ocryana began to grow restless. Ocryx spent much time away from their home, wandering about the Island and making certain all was as it should be. His mate had heard of his duties, how he was connected to the Island and it was connected to him, how the death of one would mean the death of the other. This meant he had great powers of medicine given to him by Gitchi Manitou. Ocryana's powers, on the other hand, were very small. And so the more Ocryx wandered the Island, the more she was reminded of this, and the more jealous and resentful she became. Idle minds! Such emotions they conjure up when left to themselves for too long!
"At first she tried to strengthen her powers by practicing them when she was alone, when Ocryx could not see her. She managed to increase them somewhat, but not nearly as much as she'd wished. Her jealousy only grew with each passing day. She wanted to be as strong as Ocryx! Perhaps even stronger! What would it take to achieve this, she wished to know? For as much work and effort as she put into it, the reward was too little.
"Finally in frustration she went straight to Gitchi Manitou himself, while Ocryx was busy elsewhere, and begged to be given a stronger medicine. Gitchi noticed her jealousy yet hoped she would outgrow it; surely as a manitou, she was above such petty things? Still, he granted her the powers she felt she deserved, although she was still not quite as powerful as Ocryx. It was more than she'd had before, however, so she walked away smiling, doubtlessly vowing to herself that she would make some use of it. What that use would be, no one knew.
"Ocryana practiced with her new medicine at first. She learned how to use it, how to control it; and in so doing she made it stronger. She might not have been more powerful than her mate, but she had a talent that was more powerful than Ocryx's own, that he did not possess. I suppose there was no turning back for her now. Her hatred had been festering for so long, and he'd never even noticed it, he was so preoccupied with other things. She'd make him pay for having stronger medicine than she, but also for ignoring her. Those who overlook the obvious are those who end up paying dearest!
"She was patient, though, and cunning; she knew better than to use her medicine immediately. She bided her time waiting for the right moment to...do what it was that she wished to do. Truthfully, I'm not certain if she even knew what that was, at first. Perhaps the idea only came to her later on, or just before she did it. But it would bear the same consequences either way.
"She waited until Ocryx was sleeping, and even then waited most of the night until his slumber was deep. As she was his mate, she knew how he slept, and when, and when he would arise. She remained silent and still until she knew there was little chance of him awakening in the middle of things, and then set about using her new power. But that some events could be changed!
"She held out her hands over her sleeping mate and started chanting in a low voice. The medicine Gitchi had given her had been light medicine, but within her heart it had grown dark, and so dark her powers would be! Her voice began to rise as she chanted and the medicine began to take effect--Ocryx started to change. Even while he slept, his face grew long and furred, his nose and mouth merging into a broad muzzle, ears stretching into points. Long gray fur grew from his body; his legs twisted, misshapen, and his feet elongated into narrow crooked toes. Claws sprouted from his fingers and a scaled tail from behind. Last of all came wings and long, wide horns that swept from his head. During all of this, he didn't once wake up.
"Ocryana couldn't continue chanting. She started laughing at the sight before her, and her laugh grew so raucous that Ocryx finally awoke, sitting up and looking at her pointing at him and laughing with derision. He noticed that he was the object of her laughter, and so looked down at himself. That was when he noticed. That was when his own hatred was born.
"Ocryx-Of-The-Glowing-Eyes! He who was once the noblest and handsomest upon the Island. Reduced to a hideous demon by his own mate! He was no longer even a manitou! He let out a scream of rage and it came out as a wolf's howl. Ocryana's laughter just grew even louder! She doubled over upon their bed and clutched at her knees, tears streaming down her face. All the while she pointed at him.
"'See the most powerful manitou upon the Island!' she mocked. 'Brought down by a mere woman! She who was supposed to bow to him! Who is beautiful and who is ugly? Who wields the greater power now? Ha ha ha ha!'
"The demon was enraged! His very mate, given to him by Gitchi Manitou, had betrayed him! What was more, he knew he had no way to change himself back to his true form--Ocryana had indeed gotten the better of him, this time.
"And he vowed that this would be the only time! For when she had cast her spell upon him, he too had gathered this same medicine within himself, and now he had the same abilities as she. Ocryana's own curse he could use against her!
"Holding out his hands, now grown furry and clawed, he snarled, 'See how amusing you find your own medicine now, spiteful wench!'--and uttered the same chant that she had, as he had slept. For now her medicine was a part of him! Ocryana managed to scream once before the power struck her, and as she began to change, her cry grew into a howl as well. Fur, claws, wings, tail, and horns, she became the very same hideous creature that she had made him into. Ocryana-Who-Moves-Like-The-Wind! Undone by her own jealousy and bitterness, she who was once the most beautiful spirit upon the Island was now reduced to a demon--the same fate she had bestowed upon her mate!
"Understandably--she was now more enraged than even he was! She threw up her arms with a scream-howl of fury. How foolish could she have been, to plan so carefully for so long, only to be undone by such a small oversight! And now, like he, she could not change herself back to the way she was before. His curse was now her own!
"Ocryx started to laugh, albeit bitterly, at her this time, but she would allow none of it. With a snarl she leapt upon him and their teeth and claws began to tear. What had been their bed was now their battlefield! They had torn and bitten and clawed at one another a great deal before Gitchi Manitou finally caught sight of what was happening with his two former spirits, and hurried to part them before they could kill one another. Such pride, such beauty now gone to waste! All over a petty jealousy, and ignorant oversight. Such is the way of things in this world, alas!
"Gitchi was angry with his two spirits, now demons, how they had acted despite being the fairest of their kind. Yet he could not bring himself to kill them. 'The two of you I had meant to be mates, companions--equal to one another,' he said in the stern voice of a disappointed father. 'Yet it appears I was not so careful in my plans. Your wills are both too strong; you are not suited for one another after all. Yet you are still bonded to one another, perhaps, ironically, even more so now in your new form.' He paused a moment to take stock of the situation. 'If I leave you together, I know that you will kill one another, and possibly destroy my Island. And I refuse to let this happen after all of my work." He shook his fist. "I will not let your childish squabbles ruin everything I've created!'
"The demons, of course, paid little attention to his proclamation. They were too busy still trying to reach one another, to tear each other's throat out. Gitchi knew he had to separate them, and keep them separated. The only way he knew how to do so was to use his own medicine...to imprison them. For who knew how long...for many moons, at least, possibly forever. This thought filled him with sadness...these manitous had been his pride and joy, once, and to see them so easily brought down by their own faults made his heart heavy. Still, he had no choice but to banish them to their own solitary punishments; and so this was what he did.
"Ocryx, he banished to a small inland lake from which the demon had drawn his power; he locked the creature far beneath the surface, beneath the water, beneath the rock, and then took away the water so the lake was dry, weakening Ocryx's medicine while keeping him imprisoned. Ocryana he banished to the caves near the middle of the Island, not far from here; as with her former mate, he took away the bulk of her medicine, and placed both of them into a deep sleep, in the hopes that perhaps someday he could reawaken them, once their grudge had been disposed of...if that should ever happen. He knew it would not be for many, many moons, and resigned them to their fates. And thus the demons slept, as Islanders were born and died and as the years passed, and in time, most even forgot that they had ever been real, anything more than a children's story.
"However...Gitchi did not take into account that one day, one of your kind...such as yourself...would come upon the dried-up lake in your hour of need, and decide to see if the story was true or not...nor that you would succeed in raising that which had been trapped there for so very long, that most of us had deemed it not real. Gitchi Manitou no longer dwells upon the Island as he did in the far past, and so now we are left to deal with this nuisance on our own. You wondered why Ocryx was so very angry when you first summoned him? What occupied his thoughts?" Old Mother Manitou paused in her story and peered at Stick-In-The-Dirt with narrowed eye. "I'll tell you what, human. For him, the years he has spent beneath that lake have been but a moment; he remembers not the time he spent sleeping down there. Instead she is fresh still within his mind."
"She?" the medicine man whispered. "You mean...Ocryana?"
The old manitou nodded. "The she-demon. Who else? Perhaps he feels he has merely closed his eyes and opened them again, and of course she is the one foremost in his thoughts. Why her? Maybe my estimate is incorrect, he feels he's slept longer, and now that he's finally awake he wishes to mate with her. I'm of the mind he would rather kill her, myself."
"K...kill her?"
"For what she did to him. Y'think he'd forget so easily? Demons have long memories, especially when they've been slighted. Ocryx's slight is the greatest of all to bear. Once, he had a face and a form that would have won over any of the maids living among your tribes; now, he would send any of them running away in fear! Perhaps Ocryana had ample reason to be jealous--not only of him, but of whoever may have caught his eye. I never said her reaction was entirely her fault. Men will be men, I've learned, whether humans or manitous."
Stick-In-The-Dirt's gaze drifted to the floor before him. "So...I awoke him. And he's looking for her now, to kill her. For what she did to him. But what of Ocryana? Where is she now?"
"She?" Old Mother Manitou grunted. "Who knows. Probably still locked beneath the Island...good riddance! From what I heard, she was twice as bad as her mate, maybe more so. One Ocryx is more than enough. At the very least he didn't go about changing others' forms out of anger, that is, until she did the same to him." She pushed herself slowly to her feet and hobbled away a distance. "Anyway, if you or one of your kind hasn't dredged her up yet, that's where she'll be, in her own prison. Ocryx shan't be able to free her; I don't believe it's within his power. Even you freed him mostly on accident."
"An accident," Stick-In-The-Dirt murmured, still not looking up.
"Yes, yes, that's what I said, an accident. Ocryana may be imprisoned even more tightly than he, as Gitchi recognized her as the greater threat. And the Island does depend upon Ocryx to survive."
"What?" Stick-In-The-Dirt said sharply, glancing up. "What do you mean?"
"Eh, don't you pay any attention? Remember what I said? Ocryx and the Island are connected. This is one reason Gitchi didn't kill him. If he had, the Island would have been destroyed. Ocryx is likely the reason we're all alive, like it or not. So if you had any plans to kill him and be gone with him...I'd suggest you think otherwise."
"We can't...we can't kill him?" Stick-In-The-Dirt whispered. Not that he felt he even had the strength of hand or heart to do so anyway, when the demon's anger was not even his own fault...but he could think of no other way to ensure the safety of his own and the rest of the tribes.
"Nope," Old Mother Manitou muttered, and started arranging the hangings on her walls. "A pity, I suppose, but then again, you probably should have thought better before you released him. Not saying this was your fault...but somebody must accept some sort of blame, somewhere."
"Thank you," Stick-In-The-Dirt murmured, rising to his feet. He kept his gaze down once more, heart sinking within his breast. "For letting me know his story. I had felt there would be nothing I could do...but I had to be sure. I'll be leaving now."
"You have a place in mind?"
"Yes...back to my tribe. Thank you again."
The old woman muttered and waved at him. "Eh, go on then. And don't dally too much along the way. I hear he likes to fly about at this time of the eve. Still looking for that wolf wench, I suppose. Spirits hope he never finds her. And ends up with a demon pup!"
"Spirits hope," Stick-In-The-Dirt echoed, and turned to the doorway. He made his way outside into the darkening air and rubbed his arms, trying to relieve them of the sudden chill that arose within him. He started trudging down the path back to his camp.
Only once when he heard a distant howl did he pause and glance up, before hurrying on his way. The sound of a demon in search of his mate, to love her, to kill her, or both, he did not know...but he did not wish to be there to find out should it finally happen.

"One should put themselves in the shoes of an opponent of the project" - Mayor Elect Harry Kim
Posted on Oct 13 By kea | Filed in Media
By TOM HASSLINGER West Hawaii Today October 13, 2016
KAILUA-KONA — It could be a symbol of unity, a structure that represents mankind's desire to learn.
But should the Thirty Meter Telescope come to fruition atop Mauna Kea, telescope supporters will need to be more understanding of those who don't want to see the project built on the mountain.
"You have to change your way of how you approach the messenger," Hawaii County Mayor-elect Harry Kim told a room full of Rotary Club of Kona Sunrise members Wednesday morning at Humpy's Big Island Alehouse in Kailua-Kona. "It's a simple statement of, 'We were wrong. We will be better.' That's where we must go."
One should put themselves in the shoes of an opponent of the project, Kim told the breakfast crowd. Instead of just saying they understand where that side is coming from, truly learn about the history and beliefs of those who oppose the project.
"It's a special gift to the people of this world," Kim said of the mountain on which the state-of-the art telescope was slated for construction before protests and a court ruling eventually postponed it. "When you use this gift, please remember that 99 percent of the people on this island, when they look at Mauna Kea, it's not as a place of science, they look at it because, some for the majesticness of its beauty, but for many, it's part of their soul."
Kim, a former two-term mayor and county Civil Defense administrator who won back the mayoral post in the August primary election, said he was speaking to the group from his own personal view, not as mayor-elect or representative of the county. He did touch on the mayor's post, saying he'll hawk-eye the budget once he gets into office and joked about the Rotary's speaking guidelines that dissuade speakers from discussing politics.
But the message was mostly Mauna Kea.
Since Kim won his seat, he's met with six different groups representing project stakeholders from France, China, the United States, India and Japan — people who have contributed $170 million to see the TMT through.
His message to them was the same: Understanding and communication.
Kim relayed one story where he was talking to an invested person about the telescope when he asked how much that person knew about why some protesters — who believe the mountain sacred and see it as a place of historic significance where ancestors are buried — were protesting. Specifically, Kim asked the person how much they knew about the State Historic Preservation Division's Burial Council.
Not much, the person said.
"That's the problem," Kim said. "You're telling them you understand and you don't know about the sacred ground, the people's heritage."
The burial council was created in the late 1980s after a bulldozer working to renovate a major hotel on Maui unearthed between 900 and 1,000 Hawaiian graves, Kim said. Think of how many revered sites were disturbed before that. Queen Kaahumanu Highway was built in the 1970s; most of Kona before the 1980s, too.
"You don't know how this offended a culture?" Kim said he told the person. "If you want to proceed on where we go from here to there — to create a very beautiful symbol of world peace of world togetherness, a quest for knowledge to make us a better people — then you better learn."
Now, he said, imagine the shoe was on the other foot.
"I want you to put yourself in that position. This is your heritage," he said. "This isn't about Mauna Kea, this is symbolic of our total disrespect, disregard and on how we're treated, a culture, a past."
The $1.4 billion project is currently in a contest case hearing in Hilo. The state Supreme Court ruled in December the petitioners' due process rights were violated because the state Board of Land and Natural Resources voted in favor of granting the project a land-use permit before the first contested case was held, prompting a do-over of the quasi-judicial hearing.
Regardless of what happens in the contested case, the sides will need to come together, Kim said. With better understanding, which includes learning more about Hawaiian history, the rift can mend. And, with good fortune, he said, the project will be built and represent the ideals of unity.
"A symbol on the mountain," Kim said, that "everyone can see and every person who comes to this island can see a symbol of mankind, of working together, in the quest for knowledge, a quest for knowledge to make us a better people and better stewards of this island."

You don't need an rtx card to try ray tracing - this is since a Nvidia driver update a few months ago that allowed users of non-rtx cards to select ray tracing setttings in games. However, performance is absolutely woeful without the additional hardware that rtx cards have (think 15 FPS on a gtx 1080 ti at 1080p) and it's more just to see what it looks like, and presumably to convince you that's it's worth dropping a grand on a new card.

Did any one notice any ray tracing support in any of the video clips that were provided?
Was it mentioned in any of MS updates?
It's becoming today's normal in most of the modern PC games.

I saw in a video this morning that there's NO ray tracing. The creator of the video asked MS and they confirmed no ray tracing. Looks like they have implemented something that looks "similar" but no requirement for a an RTX card.

The reflection off the metallic spinner just gives it away I believe.
That's a double reflection. That's the kind of stuff only ray-tracing can pull off effectively.
I would wholeheartedly agree, if only Forza hadn't been around...

Keep in mind this is Photo mode, which uses high-poly models, but even so, it's not ray-traced.

Please give one example where Ray tracing is generated on a server for a game in real time?
Good luck, because the answer is there are none.
it would take another century, at least, probably two, for this to be even Remotely possible.
That would be a correct statement, quite correct, but...

Maybe it isn't 4k yet, but we're not 200 years away from that, are we?
And yes, it's limited. But as more people sign up, more money, more RTX GPUS...
Please edit your posts or something, it's misinformation.

Turns out no ray tracing. Very convincing reflections though! My 1080 ti is relieved because it still has a home 😂

Q: Element div not allowed as child of element ol in this context I'm trying to validate my code and I'm getting Element div not allowed as child of element ol in this context.

Gordon Belcourt, ou Meekskimeeksskumapi, né en 1945 et décédé le , est un dirigeant tribal américain des Pieds-Noirs et un défenseur des droits. En tant que membre de la tribu « Blackfeet » (Pieds-Noirs) Belcourt servit comme directeur exécutif du Conseil tribal du Montana-Wyoming pendant quinze ans, de 1998 jusqu'à sa mort en 2013.

Belcourt est né en 1945 et a grandi sur la réserve indienne Blackfeet au Montana. Il fut nommé Meekskimeeksskumapi, ce qui signifie « Mixed Iron Boy » (« Garçon du fer croisé ») en l'honneur des batailles auxquelles son oncle, Paul Home Gun Jr., avait été impliqué pendant les cinq années de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Son oncle revint de la guerre peu avant la naissance de Belcourt.

Belcourt était major de sa promotion à Browning High School, mais résista dans un premier temps à l'université. Son directeur d'école secondaire l'informa qu'il irait à l'université. Il a été accepté à l' Université de Santa Clara, une école jésuite de Californie, grâce à une bourse complète du ROTC . Belcourt a obtenu le grade de sous-lieutenant dans l' armée des États-Unis grâce au programme ROTC de Santa Clara. Il y obtint son baccalauréat puis commença des études en droit à l'Université du Montana. Il rencontra sa future épouse, Cheryl, alors qu'il fréquentait le Montana. Belcourt retourna en Californie après ses études de droit, où il obtint une maîtrise en santé publique de l'Université de Californie à Berkeley. Il retourna au Montana, où il résidait à la réserve indienne de Blackfeet et à Missoula avant de s'installer à Billings, Montana. Il a été président du Blackfeet Community College.

Il fut directeur général du Montana-Wyoming Tribal Leaders Council de 1998 à 2013. Il a été largement reconnu pour avoir accru l'influence du conseil. Le Conseil, qui était au bord de la faillite en 1998, n'avait qu'un seul employé lorsqu'il a commencé son mandat.  Belcourt a élargi le Conseil grâce au développement et à la rédaction de subventions. Sous Belcourt, le Conseil acquit un financement de 5 millions de dollars (en 2009) pour lutter contre l'abus d'alcool dans les communautés amérindiennes du Montana et du Wyoming. Deux sénateurs américains du Montana, Max Baucus et Jon Tester, consultèrent l'avis de Belcourt sur des questions pertinentes pour les Amérindiens, y compris l'autorisation de l'Indian Healthcare Improvement Act et la création du Tribal Law and Order Act de 2010. En , ils attirèrent l'attention du public sur les taux élevés de suicide dans les communautés amérindiennes.

Belcourt a également joué un rôle déterminant dans la création d'une section régionale du Conseil tribal de revue institutionnelle (Tribal Institutional Review Board).

La Berkeley School of Public Health de l'Université de Californie honora Belcourt comme l'un de ses héros en santé publique (2003) pour son travail sur les problèmes de santé des Amérindiens. En 2007, il reçut un doctorat honorifique de l'Université du Montana.

Gordon Belcourt est décédé d'une longue maladie à la clinique St. Vincent à Billings, Montana, à 7 heures du matin le , à l'âge de 68 ans. Il laissa sa femme de 43 ans, Cheryl, et sept de leurs huit enfants - Sol, Paul Thunder, Annjeanette Elise, Jaime Ruth, Ben David, Alex Anson et Sienna Noel. Sa huitième fille, Elena Katie, a été assassinée en 2001, ce qui renforça alors sa détermination à lutter contre la violence et le crime.

Spill containment is a vital part of managing health and safety risk on construction sites and industrial work areas.
Enfield Safety offer a wide range of solutions for spill containment, designed to prevent spillages from entering drainage systems and becoming workplace hazards. We offer a range of cost effective products such as plant nappies, drip trays and pallet sumps that prevent liquids escaping from the place they are stored.
The Plant Nappy is a new product designed to replace traditional drip trays. Designed for use on construction sites, they are durable enough to withstand the demanding conditions onsite yet are lightweight and easy to deploy. They are cleverly designed to allow water to pass through the sides while retaining oil and other undesirable spills, preventing overflows and frequent emptying. We also sell replacement plant nappy liners that allow you to reuse the product again, saving you time and money.
Drip trays for generators and other plant machinery are useful for containing small leaks that can frequently occur on such equipment. In addition to drip trays we offer a complete range of pallet sumps and bunded containment options for the storage of drums.
All of the spill containment products we sell conform to legislation compliant with industry guidelines and regulations such as The Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001.

The Brutal Wave of Ransomware & How Attacks are Evolving
March 25, 2021 , 1 – 2 pm EST with Dan Stern, Vice President of IT, Infrastructure and Services at AirMethods
Ransomware surged by 150% in 2020 with the average extortion amount doubling, according to a new report from Group-IB. For most cybersecurity practitioners, ransomware is the scariest word they'll ever hear. Even the most prepared organizations have cyber security teams accustomed to responding to incidents using a methodical process, and neither process nor people are ready for ransomware's immediate devastation.
Join Vice President of IT, Infrastructure and Services at AirMethods, Dan Stern, in this on-demand webinar where he will look at how ransomware has evolved, what the next attacks may look like, and what you can do to prepare. Dan will also cover:
Cyber insurance claims in the US in 2018 were close to $400 million, but breaches cost US companies $654 billion. Does insurance pay ransoms and does it pay off?
How do we make sure our backups are safe?
Is there really a way to plan ahead for a ransomware attack?
What's changing with newer ransomware variants?
Dan Stern, Vice President of IT, Infrastructure and Services at AirMethods
Dan is a 20-year IT professional having owned a small IT business in Maryland, led fast paced IT teams at Chipotle, Blaze Pizza, and others, and now leads Infrastructure and Services teams as VP of Information Technology at Air Methods. Having a Bachelor of Arts specialized in journalism from Colorado State University and a Master of Applied Science concentrated in Information Systems Security from the University of Denver, Dan uses his experience with communications to help teach sometimes intimidating technology to office workers and college students.

First Kawasaki Podium For Confident Mahias
Kawasaki Puccetti Racing WorldSSP rider Lucas Mahias used all his experience as a former World Champion to take his first podium of the season, securing third place after starting the Misano race from pole position. His team-mate Hikari Okubo pushed hard throughout and took fifth place.
Having already scored a satisfying fastest lap in Superpole qualifying Mahias was in determined mood as he led the first two laps of the race. Holding onto the leading riders around the intense 4.226km long circuit for all 19-laps, Mahias was almost close enough to pounce when Randy Krummenacher and Federico Caricasulo made contact in the final corners.
Lucas was not quite close enough to pass either of the leading duo in the very last corner but the 2017 world champion was just 0.161 seconds from his first win in Kawasaki colors. This was Lucas' 16th podium finish in WorldSSP and the first of the year for his team and Kawasaki as a manufacturer.
Determined to make up places after his Superpole qualifying performance in ninth place, Okubo made a lightning start and then made up several places in the first corners, keeping pace just behind the leading group.
As the race unfolded Hikari kept up his strong pace, re-joining the top four at one stage. He was forced to slow in the final laps as he had used up the best performance from his front tire, but he secured yet another top five finish in fine style.
In the championship standings, after seven rounds, Hikari holds on to fourth place overall. He has 70 points, with Lucas jumping up to fifth place overall, now with 66 points.
The next round will take place at Donington Park in the UK, between 5 and 7 July, before the start of a long summer break in race action.
Lucas Mahias stated: "It is an incredible feeling and an incredible sensation to take this podium finish. For me it feels the same as a victory because at the start of the season I knew it was so difficult to jump on the podium. But race after I race I continued to push. The race was not very fast because the two riders at the front played a lot - but for me I am not playing. The last lap was very aggressive from the leaders but in the last corner exit it was impossible to get to second or first position. Thanks to Kawasaki and to my team - I hope this is a good present for them because they are working a lot. Sometimes I am not smiling when we are not at the front but for tonight I have a big smile!"
Hikari Okubo, stated: "Today's race was not so bad because for the first time I could follow the leading group, but in the last five laps I had finished the front tire. I was losing a bit on top end compared to the riders in front. I tried to maintain the small gap to the front group by diving into the corners, so the front started closing and I finished fifth. Also, as a rider I know I need to make one more step, but today's race was very important. I got more championship points in the race which allowed me to keep fourth place overall in the championship standings."
Ayrton Badovini (Team Pedercini Racing Kawasaki) crashed out of his home race and now sits 15th overall. His team-mate Kyle Smith finished out of the points in 19th place. Smith still leads the FIM Europe Supersport Cup standings and is 18th overall.
Rob Hartog (Team Hartog – Against Cancer Kawasaki) placed 18th, Glenn van Straalen (EAB Racing Team Kawasaki) 20th.
Nacho Calero (Orelac Racing VerdNatura Kawasaki) ended the Misano weekend 22nd at the flag with wildcard rider Roby Rolfo (Team Green Speed Kawasaki) 23rd.

Glass Traps: Obron
Cleveland-based post punk five-piece, Glass Traps, have been steadily building towards the release of their exciting debut since 2015. The band's lineup is comprised of members of many diverse previous groups and projects, like Obnox, LMC6, Puffy Areolas, Terrorcake, Tonowandas, Wooly Boolies and Jump Cannon, and singer, Sarah Paul, a multifaceted artist focused on video, sound and performance art.
Glass Traps' self-titled, self-released debut is a tight, eight-song album which hints on the radical, influential spirit of post-punk's early years, as well as the darkness of the genre's more goth-inclined nature. The album's unambiguous sound can draw many parallels, first and foremost that to Siouxsie and the Banshees, as the fervent new band seems to be thinking highly of, and taking pleasure in its classy influences.
Album closer, Obron, is also the song that Glass Traps prefer to finish their live shows with. Sarah Paul reveals to D//E a little more about it: "This is my favorite Glass Traps song. We play it as a closer to just about every live show. I can't help it... Every time we try to use a different song last it just feels wrong. Lyrically it's about LeBron James coming back to Cleveland and feeling trapped there by his mom and questioned by the people... but ultimately we adore him and need him and it's gonna be okay. But that's not why I like to play it last. It's just this ultimate sonic climax in the end. I feel like I can't follow it with anything... I'm spent."
A physical release of the LP is out on a limited run of just 300 copies on vinyl, including original art by Kristina Kuhn.

Why Should I Keep A Journal? - 8 Reasons To Start NOW!
Why Should I Keep A Journal? – 8 Reasons To Start NOW!
A few years ago, I started keeping a journal. Again! After a long, long time. So, if you wonder: "Why should I keep a journal?", well, let me tell you why!
Why it's good for you to start writing in a journal daily. What are the benefits of it and how to do it so that you get the most out of this beautiful ritual.
Or Triple-T as I like to call it. I don't know if you have ever tried to say things out loud or to write them down. If you have, you'll have noticed that it gives you a different and better perspective on things. It helps you to focus on the real problem.
Why? Because writing something down requires you have to understand it first. It has to be specific. It can't consist of abstract thoughts anymore. It has to be a solid problem/situation/event with details.
And now that it's defined, now you can see the pros and cons of it. Now you can see possible solutions. You have all the data and you can work your way to the best solution if it's a problem or to the best decision if you have one to take.
Worst-Case Scenarios: Are They So Bad?
If there is something you want to do and you're afraid of failure, write about all the possible ways this could go wrong. After the initial freaking out you're bound to do, you'll see that things are not so terrible. Now you can have backup plans for anything that could go wrong.
Is it the end of the world? No.
Now, you can have backup plans for these problems. Have extra money with you in case something goes wrong – preferably in a different place. Get copies of your passport and have them on different bags or jackets. In case of need, you'll have these until you get a new one.
Writing about the situation you're in and all the worst case scenarios that could happen calms you down in the end. After all, even if one of the worst-case scenarios does happen – which doesn't often happen – it's usually not that bad. Most problems get solved one way or another and in a year, nobody even remembers them. And if we do, we're like: "Was I so concerned about something so meaningless?".
Stress is one of the problems I have to deal with a lot. And I'm so full of people saying to me: "Hey, relax! It's not that stressing over something will make it better.".
Well, thank you! Now, that you told me not to worry, I won't. How didn't I think of this before?
Yeah, it doesn't work like this. It's not something you can control easily. But I have noticed that when I write about things that happened and made me feel stressed, worried or angry, I get calmer.
I'm not so sure why this happens, but if I had to guess, it does because you let things out. It also works partially when you say out loud what bothers you. But I've noticed that when I do, I keep saying the same things over and over again and obsessing over them.
Something else that relaxes me is taking a break every once in a while. I take my journal and a book I want to read with me and I go on a trip somewhere close.
So if you want to de-stress, grab a book and your journal and go somewhere you've wanted to go for a while but never did. Maybe it's just a walk in the park or on the beach; it doesn't matter. Turn off your phone, get comfortable and sit there.
Write anything you want down in your journal. For an hour at least, write everything that comes to mind. Maybe it seems like a lot of time, but after starting, you'll have more and more to write. Write about dreams you have, goals you have, things you want to change in your life. And after you write them down, find ways to make them happen, to get a step closer to where you want to be in your life.
And when you have this plan ready, relax. Now that you have everything out of your mind, calm down. Open the book you want to read and have at it. I'd suggest you get a book that you haven't read before, but of course, you're free to have an old favourite with you, as well.
If you could do it for a whole day, it would be great! It'll do wonders for your mental health! You'll feel way better when you return to your everyday life. And hopefully, you'll get back with more energy and motivation to make your dreams come true.
And if you're like me and you stress a lot, you definitely need to find ways to let it out. Stress has a lot of negative effects on your health.
Only if it was so easy to relax… Well, now you know a couple of ways!
3. Want More Out Of Your Life? Check Your Progress, Check Your Progress, Check Your Progress!
It's great when you go back and reread your journal. Seeing how much progress you've made in the last year makes you feel incredibly well.
And if you're not where you wanted to be when you were thinking about it a year ago? Well, that's great! You can sit down, check what you've done with your life and see why it didn't get you where you wanted to be.
Then you make a new plan, you follow it and check the results from it. That's how success happens!
Writing down what happened through the day, what you want to do in the future, your dreams and your plans helps you learn what you want in life, what your goals should be and, down the line, what kind of person you are.
This is something all of us have to do in our life. We have to meet our demons, understand them, face them and eventually defeat them. That's how we become winners in life!
And it's nice to focus a little on yourself every once in a while. You can't run all day, be stressed all day, be miserable all day, every day, without this having a negative impact on your health.
It doesn't work this way. It's going to catch up with you in the worst possible moment and you'll crash out. Every day, focus on yourself and try to be the best you can be!
In everyday life, we tend to tell a few small – or big, occasionally – lies to ourselves. Sometimes they're useful, or that's what we like to believe because they make our life easier at the time, but long-term, they're not beneficial to us. Writing everything down is a great way to realise these lies and stop them.
Writing something down takes more time and effort than saying it out loud, let alone thinking about it. So we make our brain think about it more.
This way, it's easier to find out when something is a real explanation or just an excuse that you tell yourself because you're too afraid to deal with a difficult situation or to chase after your dreams!
And yes, some of these "reasons" you tell yourself to justify why you're not doing what you're supposed to do are just excuses. And it's ok, for a while, as long as you know it. Maybe you're not ready to deal with it yet. But you should be aware of it.
This is your journal. Your haven. You can write whatever you want on it. And writing down any complaints you have is cathartic.
And I repeat: No one is going to judge you for what you write. So feel free to write WHATEVER you want. It's a little annoying that we have to filter anything we say in our everyday life. When you are alone with your journal, you should be free to write what you think.
Not only will you be more relaxed after you do it, but you'll also be able to keep yourself in check the next time an idiot tries to ruin your day!
Unfortunately, our brain is not perfect. Or fortunately in some cases, because who would want to remember the worst moments of their life perfectly?
But this way, we don't remember perfectly the good ones, too. A great success, a wonderful party, the first time you saw the love of your life? All gone partly. Sure, you'll always have some memory of them, but memories fade over time.
Well, not if you put them on paper. This way, you can go back and reread them as many times as you want! And it's like you are there again because you can read what you felt and what you thought about it.
Skills you're going to need pretty much no matter what you do in your life. From writing a book to writing manuals for video games, you'll need good writing skills.
Keeping a journal helps you keep up with the flow of your thoughts. You learn how to express your feelings clearly and how to write a story that you have in your mind in a way that makes sense.
And the more you practise, the better you get at writing. As usually!
Fear? Not If You Keep Your Journal The Right Way!
Warning: I wouldn't be fair if I didn't tell you the ONE reason why it's dangerous to keep a journal.
You have to be careful where you put the journal. If you're sincere while writing, as you should – keeping a journal is a great way to be honest with yourself, as I said above – then there are going to be things in it that you don't want people to find out.
I still remember my mom finding the journal I kept while I was a kid. I had some things to explain… And I was 8; it's not that I had that much to hide! I remember that I'd written about a boy I liked and my mom had her this-is-cute look while asking me about it.
But believe me, this is not a situation you want to find yourself in. It was so bad an experience that I didn't keep a journal for the next 13 years!!!
And that's it. These are the 8 most important reasons why you should keep a journal. Give it a chance if you haven't already and I'm sure you'll not regret it.
If you don't have already a journal, here are some suggestions. Check them out!
So… do you keep a journal? If yes, what do you like the most about it? And if not, what stops you from starting?
Any suggestion is welcome! So, if you have any topic you'd want me to talk about, feel free to write it below!

Hey, I couldn't agree more! At a time that was my response to those talking me into it: why should I keep a journal?
Then I started to write every morning a couple of months ago, not to make a journal at the beginning. I was just writing to set me in a mood of confidence, I would basically describe what I would do in my day, in an energized and confident way. That helped me a lot with my mindset.
Without noticing, I started to add more personal stuff along the way. Last month I realized I was keeping a journal, I went back through it and you're right! Memories kept in there I would have been forgotten pretty quickly!
The thing is I'm torn between pen & paper journal and "online". Pen & paper is safer but when I don't have it there's nothing I can do about it! Do you have a thought on that?
Excellent article Jenny. I used to religiously keep a journal when young but somewhere LIFE i.e. the rigmarole of work and kids took over. You've inspired me not only to take up the long forgotten hobby but to also get my 7 year old to start writing one.
Thanks also for bringing back fun memories (sharing your diary – as we called it then) with only special people and guarding it with your life.
Thanks a lot. I'm glad I helped you!
These are all great reasons to keep a journal! I remember our college professor assigning us a journal project for our literature course. It was a pretty fun and effective way to keep track of your writing and you can check how far you've gone in terms of composing your articles and thoughts.
I'd love to have a professor like this one. He sounds very cool!

Pokémon Go Fest attendees file lawsuit against Niantic
Niantic's inability to make Pokémon Go work properly is becoming legend. Basically, if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. And there was a lot of wrong at the high-profile Pokémon Go Fest in Chicago last weekend. It was such a mess that a few dozen players have filed a class action lawsuit against Niantic, alleging false advertising.
The plaintiffs are demanding Niantic compensate them for travel to the festival, which was an unmitigated disaster. One Jonathan Norton retained Chicago-based lawyer Thomas Zimmerman to handle the case. Norton traveled from California to attend Pokémon Go Fest with the understanding he'd be able to play the game and catch rare Pokémon, and he was far from the only out-of-towner to show up. However, he and several thousand others found they were unable to play the game at all during the event.
Niantic has apologized for the situation, but now 20-30 people have joined the lawsuit in search of a more tangible monetary apology. Attendees were offered a refund on the $20 tickets and $100 of in-game currency. The promised legendary Pokémon was also provided. However, the event was a bust, and many players spent a significant amount of money to get there. Niantic has refused to comment on the pending litigation.

We are living at a time when a number of great changes are converging at the same time. I am honoured to be talking to the members and audiences of RISE, and I thank you for awarding me the wonderful lifetime achievement award this year."

It quickly came to pass that the entire world followed Lord Fred's lead, and chose to walk it out. Granted, not everyone on the planet desperately needed to visit a restroom as badly as he did, but Fred still put on a brave face and led the way.
It's the dragon! Oh noez!
Walking it out somehow makes it easier for Fred to slay the dragon.
Fred becomes so dizzy, he collapses.
Who cares what happens next?!
The entire universe continues to walk it out.
Josh and Scott run in and loudly mock Lord Fred.

Dracula recap: 5 surprising twists from premiere episode
by Verona Jones 1 year ago Follow @veronaj57

The premiere episode of Dracula introduces a new and unique perspective of the legendary Vampire.
In Netflix's new original tv miniseries Dracula we meet an unprecedented Vampire count that veers off into uncharted territory. A more intense and scary version of Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula.
Although Mark Gatiss and Stephen Moffat's miniseries have the same characters that the novel has, the personalities of Gatiss and Moffat's characters are different, which adds a layer of fear and intensity not found in other Dracula movies made. There were a lot of Dracula movies made too, about 200 films in all.
The constant theme in many of these movies is the deep abiding love Dracula had for Mina Murray. In some remakes, Mina is the reincarnation of his beloved wife in Walachia, and in other remakes, he saw her picture and fell in love with her. In the novel, he went after Mina as revenge against Jonathan Harker and Abraham Van Helsing were trying to kill him.
With all the different remakes of the same story, what makes Mark Gatiss and Stephen Moffat's tv mini-series different from the movies? In Episode 1: "The Rules of the Beast," there are five twists that the series takes different from the films and the novel.
5. The story narrated from a convent
Our story opens with a frail, sick-looking man in a convent. We learn later into the episode that it is Saint Mary's convent located in Budapest, Hungary. In Bram Stoker's novel, Jonathan Harker does narrate the story, but always as the events happen at the moment and definitely not from a convent.
This was a major twist from the original storyline and the movie remakes. Two nuns enter Jonathan Harker's (John Heffernan) room. One introduces herself as Sister Agatha (Dolly Wells), and she will be interviewing while the other nun is there to observe. Sister Agatha wants to know Harker's entire experience while with Dracula, including any sexual interaction.
In the novel, the story starts with Harker in a carriage on his way to Dracula's castle and being warned about going there in the first place by the other passengers. In the movies, Harker is finishing the transference of property to the count's name, but there is no nun or convent in the novel or films.

The Australian property market is set to deliver mixed results in 2015, so what should investors bear in mind when making a purchase in the year ahead?
It is pertinent for investors to consider the influential factors that can mean the difference between substantial capital growth in some areas and stagnate prices in others.
There are four basic elements that can help deliver robust capital growth in any property market.
These include the necessity for a strong local economy, high population growth, high average wages and a limited supply of housing stock.
Fortunately, many of Australia's capital cities have some or all of these attributes.
A strong local economy, and particularly solid local industries, are necessary for obvious reasons – to provide a robust employment market which will lead to an increase in living standards.
For example, Queensland and Western Australia have benefitted greatly over the past decade from huge investment in the mining and, more recently, the natural gas industries.
Although the natural resources sector has cooled in recent months, this was always expected, and it remains that these industries will continue to deliver large revenue streams and employment opportunities for decades to come.
Generally with a strong local economy comes high population growth and high average wages, which can further bolster capital growth in property markets.
While Australia's western and northern states boast strong population growth with migration from residents in the country's eastern and southern states, overall Australia enjoys high population growth from overseas immigration.
On an annual basis, more than 250,000 people move to Australia to become permanent residents with about 27% of the country's 23 million citizens being born overseas.
With a relatively small population, this trend is set to continue. Particularly with an aging population, immigration will play a key role.
Finally, a limited supply of housing stock is another attribute that can cause property values to rise.
With urban sprawl a major issue in most Australian capital cities, many state governments have turned to development infill targets.
This means large land plots in capital cities are becoming scarcer as villa, unit and apartment complexes replace traditional stand-alone dwellings.
Despite some capital cities displaying these four attributes, some locations will prove to outperform others.
As always though, property investment should be undertaken with a long-term approach and regardless of the peaks and troughs along the way, if these four attributes are prevalent then the market in that region is likely to perform well .
Be aware that this is just the beginning of property selection. Capital growth from suburb to suburb can vary widely, so it's important to consider the finer details of property investment to maximise your success.
