She practices what she preaches in her own work. Cordery is the author of four books, most recently a biography of Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low (Viking, 2012)* and of Alice Roosevelt Longworth (Viking, 2007). She is currently completing a biography of cosmetics entrepreneur Elizabeth Arden for Viking. At Iowa State University, where she is professor of History and an affiliate faculty member with the Women's and Gender Studies Program and the Carrie Chapman Catt Center, Cordery teaches the History of First Ladies, the Gilded Age, and the modern U.S. survey. Before coming to ISU in 2016, Cordery taught for 22 years at Monmouth College. She is the visiting distinguished historian of the Theodore Roosevelt Center and serves as treasurer for SHGAPE.
Cordery is a sought-after speaker who has appeared on C-SPAN, the Diane Rehm Show, the History Channel, the Smithsonian Channel, and NPR's Weekend Edition. She's given talks at, among others places, the Wilson Center, the National Constitution Center, the Miller Center, Printers Row Lit Fest, and the Savannah Book Festival.
After having written her biography, I truly believe that Juliette Gordon Low should be in every textbook at every level. Low founded the most important organization for girls and women in this nation when she created the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. in 1912. Girl Scouting had a profound impact on girls, certainly, but also on women. I think we forget that the women who stepped up to lead troops or to volunteer at the council level learned all manner of things. They received training in whole skill sets—leadership, accounting, first aid, communication, engineering, chemistry, nursing, survival techniques—which oftentimes translated into later remunerative work. In the early years of Girl Scouting in particular, this was training they could not readily get anywhere else. The works and the impact of individual Girl Scouts, local troops, and Girl Scouts on the state and national level still need to be researched, analyzed, and written about. When my biography came out in 2012, one-half of all American women had some connection to Girl Scouting. I think that everyone should know about the female founder of an organization that is still in existence—and still doing good work—over one hundred years after its creation, especially as that organization is largely led by women and remains committed to its original mission of helping girls and their communities. It is mystifying to me that she's not as well known as Andrew Carnegie or Jane Addams.
What's it like to live with a subject of your biography for a period of years?
My undergraduate degree is in Theater and I liken it a bit to acting in that I feel I must try to get inside her head. It's also partly like meeting a new friend—you work really hard to understand her, to see her point of view, to analyze how her past has shaped the decisions she made, to empathize when you can and sympathize when you can't. You try to keep her circle of friends straight and pay attention to which friends play what roles in her life. You listen hard to her words and to her silences. The big differences are that since my biographical subjects are in fact not my friends, I can talk about them incessantly to my colleagues! I can second-guess them! I can—indeed I must—go looking for verification of whatever they say, write, or do. I have to step back at some point, lose the empathy, and challenge everything I think I've learned so that I can look at her and her life from many sides—some not complimentary, some not even very nice. I do find people endlessly fascinating and that's why I think I'm a biographer. My subjects have frustrated me, annoyed me, amused me, and taught me a great deal. They have never bored me.
What's you next book and when will we see it?
I'm under contract with Viking/Penguin for a biography of Elizabeth Arden. Here's another woman about whom we know far too little. Arden was an immigrant and hers was a rags-to-riches story. At one point in her life, she was the wealthiest woman in America. Her imprimatur moved make-up from the world of prostitutes and actresses into high society; we're still living in the wake of that sea change. She was an innovator in several fields, including advertising and merchandising, in addition to all of her inventions connected to beauty and health. She was sole head of her company from its creation c. 1909 until her death in 1966. And, she had a parallel life as "Queen of the Turf." She raised, bought, sold, and raced thoroughbred horses so successfully that her horse won the Kentucky Derby in 1947. This book allows me to learn about fields I don't normally encounter—horse racing chief among them!—but she was an influential and important American entrepreneur and CEO. The manuscript is due in 2020, so we should see it in print a year or so later.
Finally, my question for you is my favorite of your questions right back at you: If you could pick one woman from history to put in every high school history textbook, who would it be?—And why?
Over the course of writing Women Warriors, I kept coming back to Matilda of Tuscany (1046-1115). In fact, I wrestled with her over and over again because she took over every chapter I tried to put her in.
Matilda's appearance in history books, to the extent that she appears at all, is generally limited to one incident, known as the Humiliation at Canossa. In 1077, the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV arrived as a penitent at her fortress at Canossa to petition Pope Gregory VII for absolution. It's a dramatic incident, complete with the emperor dressed in sackcloth, standing barefoot in the snow, and begging for admission to the fortress for several days. When Matilda appears in accounts of the event, her role is often limited to that of a peacemaker.
In fact, the Humiliation of Canossa was one brief moment of peace in the Investiture Controversy, an ugly struggle between emperor and pope that was ostensibly over who would control appointments to religious offices and was at root over the relationship between secular and religious power. Matilda, the peacemaker of Canossa, provided the main military support for Gregory and his successors in their struggles with Henry for the next twenty years and became the secular rallying point for the reform cause after Gregory's death.
Over the course of a forty-year military career, Matilda mustered troops for long-distance expeditions, fought successful defensive campaigns against the Holy Roman emperor (himself a skilled commander), launched ambushes, engaged in urban warfare, directed sieges, lifted sieges, and was besieged. She built, stocked, and fortified castles. She maintained an effective intelligence network. She negotiated alliances with local leaders. She rewarded her followers with the favorite currencies of medieval rulers: land, castles, and privileges.
Matilda was both a skilled military commander and a key player in the most important political and theological issue of her time. (Basically the same thing in eleventh century Europe.) Her name means "mighty in war" and she lived up to it.

I read Naomi Alderman's The Power several months ago and haven't been able to get it out of my head. It reads like a straightforward, captivating story, but the more one sits with it the more complicated, disturbing, and thought provoking it becomes. I had no idea of the beginning's significance until the end. Next month my book club reads this book. I've picked it up again, am enjoying rereading it, and am eager to discuss it.
My next book is Mrs. Dr. Anna Ott: A 19th Century Life of Money, Marriage, and Madness—and will be out in late 2019. This is a biography of a completely unknown woman who survived two tumultuous marriages, one of which included substantial domestic violence, garnered significant financial resources, served as a physician, and died after 20 years in an insane asylum. It's a fascinating story and I've learned so much about marriage law, institutionalization, and the consequences of a stigmatized diagnosis.
Women change their names when they get married—sometimes multiple times! Why?!? This often literally erases women historically and makes it difficult to find them. It is also a part of how family can subsume women in history in both subtle and direct ways.
My question for you: How did you come to love history?
By the time I was in high school, I was that nerdy kid who hung out at the local historical society and Wilson Creek National Battlefield on the weekends.

Former President George H.W. Bush in March 2012, when he met with and endorsed Mitt Romney for president.
Heaps of private information about the Bush family, including revelations that patriarch and former President George H.W. Bush's health issues were so dire that his "funeral team" met to discuss details of his service, have been hacked through one of Bush's daughters.
A hacker going by the name "Guccifer" accessed private emails and photos by gaining access to the AOL account of Dorothy Bush Koch, daughter of George H.W. Bush and sister of former President George W. Bush, The Smoking Gun reported.
Guccifer then used another online account to post the information, which included self-portrait paintings of George W. Bush showering and bathing and private Bush family photos.
In an email exchange with The Smoking Gun, Guccifer said he accessed "interesting emails" about the Bush family, including the health of George H.W. Bush, who was hospitalized last month with pneumonia; some feared the 88-year-old only had days to live.
An investigation has been launched into the hacking of the confidential emails and private photos, the Houston Chronicle reported, but the Bush family is not responding to the breach.
"We do not comment on matters under criminal investigation," George H.W. Bush spokesman Jim McGrath told the paper.
Aside from Koch's AOL account, Guccifer also gained access to the accounts of close Bush family friends, including CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz. Former first lady Barbara Bush's brother and her husband's sister-in-law also had their accounts hacked, according to The Smoking Gun.
One of the messages in Koch's AOL account included a "Report On Dad," from her brother Neil Bush about the health of her father.
George H.W. Bush's health took a turn for the worse and the former president was in intensive care last month.
She added that the message falls "under the broadening category of things NOT TO TELL YOUR MOTHER," The Smoking Gun reported.
George W. Bush wrote in a Dec. 26 email to his brothers and sisters that he was "thinking about eulogy" for his father and asked for stories that he could include for his father's funeral service.
"Hopefully I'm jumping the gun," he wrote.
Besides the messages, a number of private family photos were accessed by Guccifer, including George W. Bush's paintings, a picture of George H.W. Bush in the hospital and former President Bill Clinton posing with George W. Bush at the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine.
The hacker said he did not fear a federal investigation.
"I have an old game with the f------ bastards inside, this is just another chapter in the game," he wrote.

Alfred Hermann Fried, avstrijski pacifist, novinar in pisatelj judovskega rodu, nobelovec, * 11. november 1864, Dunaj, Avstro-Ogrska, † 5. maj 1921, Dunaj.

Je začetnik nemškega mirovnega gibanja. S Tobiasom Asserjem je leta 1911 prejel Nobelovo nagrado za mir.

Življenje
Fried je pri petnajstih letih pustil šolo in pričel z delom v knjigarni. Leta 1883 se je preselil v Berlin, kjer je že leta 1887 odprl svojo lastno knjigarno. Kot odmev in v podporo izdaji Berthe von Suttner Die Waffen nieder! (Položite orožje) sta leta 1889 on in von Suttnerjeva pričela leta 1892 izdajati revijo z istim imenom. Velik pomen sta dala razlagam in dejavnostim, ki bi omogočale daljnoročni mir.

Leta 1892 je bil soustanovitelj Nemškega mirovnega društva. Šteje za enega od idejnih očetov sodobne organizacije, ki bi zagotavljala svetovni mir, torej organizacije, kakršni sta Liga narodov ali Organizacija združenih narodov.

Fried je bil tudi pomemben član gibanja za jezik esperanto. Leta 1903 je izdal tudi učbenik tega jezika. Leta 1911 je bil nagrajen za svoje mirovniško delo z Nobelovo nagrado za mir. Med prvo svetovno vojno se je preselil v Švico, umrl pa je na Dunaju leta 1921.

So you know I'm a huge nerd and I'm into anything that's scientific and logical, including err… science fiction. I've been following this show on Fox called "Fringe". The show takes place in Boston, and is a TV drama revolving around a female FBI agent, Olivia Dunham, who is forced to work with an institutionalized scientist, Dr. Walter Bishop, in order to rationalize a brewing storm of unexplained phenomena.
What's so interesting is while these guys are traveling across universes, they don't seem to have the ability to travel in time. Folks, that makes no sense! We are 3D creatures who live in a 3D world, walking on a timeline as the fourth dimension. You can't simply "jump" to another universe until you live on at least the 6th dimension, folding the timeline on the 5th dimension. With me so far? What's funny is that on the show, they have these guys called "The Observers", who seem to have the role of making sure everything in every universe is in order. These guys have the ability to travel both in time and space, the 5th and 6th dimension, respectively.
You still with me? If you head hasn't imploded yet, then you should REALLY start watching the show. If you're curious about how to imagine all these dimensions, watch this video below the trailer first, and then watch the show.

Coffee and Cigarettes (2003)

"Are you all right, Taylor?
"Uh. Not really."
"I dunno. I feel so divorced from the world. I've lost touch with the world. Do you know that song by Mahler? "I've Lost Track of the World?"
"It's one of the most beautiful, saddest songs ever written."
"I can almost hear it now."
"I think so."
This last scene of "Coffee and Cigarettes" with Bill Rice and Taylor Mead by Jeim Jamusch. A haunting scene centered around an ethereal piece of Mahler drifting thru the air.
The Mahler piece extended here is "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" by Magdalena Kozená with orchestra directed by Claudio Abbado.

The sales figures for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are in, and they're phenomenal — much better than last year's, in fact. Many people are no doubt picking up the devices because of the quality of the camera (which is shown off below in a gallery comparing photos from all previous iPhones), but they may also be happy to learn that the new phones appear to be much more water resistant than the iPhones that have come before.
Some commentators feared that Apple wouldn't be able to pull off sales as spectacular as those for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in an "S release" year, but last weekend Apple smashed such concerns thoroughly. The new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus saw a whopping 13 million sales over the weekend, compared to last year's 10 million units in the same timeframe. And to think that seemed like a breathtaking figure in itself back then.
It's worth putting those numbers in perspective, though. This year Apple released the new iPhones in China on the first day of availability, while it waited a couple of weeks before releasing them in China last year. But today's numbers also show how Apple's standing in China is improving, as the company also released the iPhone 5s and 5c in China on the first available weekend, which helped the company net a total of 9 million sales in the same timeframe in 2013.
Unfortunately, Apple so far hasn't provided any data detailing how many of those orders came from the company's new iPhone Upgrade Program.
The Cupertino giant plans to release the phones in an additional 40 countries on October 9, and after that, it plans for the phones to be sold in more than 130 countries by the close of the year.
Much as with the Apple Watch, the appears to be an unexpected benefit to owning the new iPhone 6s or 6s Plus: Compared to their predecessors, they appear to be surprisingly water resistant. Just don't get the impression that you can go swimming while you check out Instagram. While they're definitely more water resistant, they're still not waterproof.
This morning MacRumors compiled a list of the best videos on YouTube showing the new phones' water resistance. The first, from TechSmartt, noted that both the iPhone 6s Plus and Samsung's Galaxy 6S Edge seemed to keep working even after being in submerged in shallow water for 30 minutes, which reportedly marks a massive step up from the iPhone 6′s survival for a mere minute last year in the same conditions. Yet another video from Zach Straley (below) subjects both the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus to underwater conditions for a full hour, and both phones performed fine for a couple of days (although Straley noted an aberration on the iPhone 6s' screen in a followup video).
Straley's findings prove that the new phones can take a lot of damage, but they're still not waterproof. Another site called iDeviceHelp shows this tendency the best (below), as they submerged the iPhone 6s Plus four feet down in a swimming pool, where it started to have problems after a mere two minutes. Within two hours, it was dead.
So there are two good things to take away from this. One, Apple is clearly making efforts to make its phones more water resistant. Two, the discoveries lend some credibility to the first real rumor about the iPhone 7 (which MacOtakara noticed on the Chinese social media site Weibo), which claims that Apple's next big smartphone will, in fact, be waterproof and not have a metallic casing at all. It may be hogwash, but there's a kernel of truth there, and we have an whole new year of speculation about it ahead of us.
A lot of people have been raving about how good the camera for the iPhone 6s is, but Lisa Bellamy of Camera+ has compared a gallery of photos taken with all releases of the iPhone to show us just what that means as regards Apple's legacy so far.
For her project, Bellamy took the same shots with every iPhone from the 2MP 2007 original to this year's 12MP release, and the resulting photos show that Apple has overcome hurdles in everything from skin tones to pixelation.
At long last, it's the official launch day for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, which means that the rumors for Apple's next batch of phones should start popping up in, oh, a week. In the meantime, we've got some news on how the phone doesn't bend and shoots great videos (yay) and how you'll need a subscription to use Microsoft Office on the upcoming iPad Pro (boo). Oh, and Aaron Sorkin really doesn't like what Apple CEO Tim Cook said about the movie he wrote the screenplay for.
All right, let's get this one out of the way — no, the iPhone 6s Plus doesn't bend as "easily" as the iPhone 6 Plus. Apple used stronger 7000 series aluminum and strengthened the weaker points of the shell, which means that we likely won't see another "Bendgate" this year.
The video that started it all last year came from Unbox Therapy, but today's video comes from FoneFox (also on YouTube), where they subjected the iPhone 6s Plus to the same bend-the-device-over-your-thumbs test from last year.
Not only did the latest phone survive what seems to be the same force, the narrator also shows that the phone actually sprang back in place after enduring the punishment. FoneFox did, in fact, get the iPhone 6s Plus to bend, but only by bringing in a second person. FoneFox readily admitted, though, that the device is unlikely to see this kind of force in your pocket.
Last month Unbox Therapy itself managed to get its hands on one of the shells for the then-unreleased iPhone 6s, but even without the internal components installed, its findings mirrored those of FoneFox.
If you're more interested in what the iPhone 6s Plus' 4K-capable camera actually does, check out the video below. It's a short documentary called "The Painter of Jalouzi," and it was shot entirely on an iPhone 6s Plus. And the results are astounding.
Danny Boyle's Steve Jobs film has already received numerous accolades ahead of its October 23 wide release date, but Apple CEO Yim Cook lightly criticized the film (and others) as "opportunistic" during his recent interview on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the film's award-winning writer Aaron Sorkin doesn't exactly agree with that, to put it lightly.
"Nobody did this movie to get rich," Sorkin said, afterwards noting that Cook should see the movie before making any judgements. But it gets even more harsh than that.
Yowza. Cook has got to see that as a heavy blow, especially considering all the measures Apple has taken to improve lives at the factories where many of its parts are made (and those of its competitors) since he assumed leadership. Cook, who has made it his mission to make Apple a "force for good," may have a hard time letting such a comment roll off his back. Still, Sorkin is right about one thing — Cook acknowledged in his Colbert interview that he hadn't actually seen any of the new films.
Microsoft won a lot of goodwill from the Apple community recently when it announced that Office apps for the iPad and iPhone were now free for both viewing and editing, but as Ars Technica reports, it seems that won't be the case for the upcoming iPad Pro. The 12.9-inch screen is just too big, claims the Redmond, Washington giant.
The company means that literally. Microsoft has a 10.1-inch screen size limit for access to the free viewing and editing features, which wasn't a problem for the 9.7-inch iPad Air and the 7.9-inch iPad mini. To enjoy the iPad Pro's big picture, unfortunately, you're going to need to purchase an Office 365 subscription.
If you're still interested after that, Microsoft offers Office 365 Personal for one person for .99 a year or .99 per month, and then there's its five-person Office 365 Home plan for .99 per year or .99 per month. Both services allow access to Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Access for PCs, tablets, and smartphones.
It's that time of year again — the time when thousands of people worldwide brave the cold or heat and camp outside of Apple Stores for the new iPhones. And this time, someone's even sent a robot of sorts in her place. Elsewhere, a National Geographic photographer shows what the iPhone 6s Plus can do when he takes it on assignment instead of his usual photography equipment.
The Apple retail experience has changed a lot in the last few years, but for better or worse, people still camp out in lines by the dozen at various stores in order to be the first to get their hands on the new iPhones. This year, though, the biggest lines appear to be overseas.
So far the most notable sitter can be found at the flagship Apple Store in Sydney, Australia. According to Mashable, media agency executive Lucy Kelly of the Atomic 212 has set up a telepresence robot at the fourth spot in line that takes her place while she's free to attend to her duties at work. The contraption is essentially an iPad attached to an Segway-type device, and Kelly apparently even hopes that she'll be able to buy the iPod with the device without any real human interaction.
According to Kelly, the other people waiting in line aren't too bothered by it.
So far, the biggest lines appear to be in Germany, where the Munich store has installed temporary rows for those waiting to purchase their phones (via Martin Gollwitzer and Lana Lee). In Hamburg (via Daniel Knott) the crowd of waiting customers is so thick that they're taking up almost the entire sidewalk.
While comparatively tame, things are still getting a little crazy over here in the States. In Little Rock, Arkansas, for instance, a Twitter user named Stephen has set up his Xbox One in front of the local Apple Store, where he's been playing the game Destiny since Monday (and, oddly, even getting uncut pizza from Domino's).
It's true that good photography ultimately comes from the photographer, not his or her equipment, but it's hard to argue that good equipment doesn't help make that vision all the more beautiful. As for National Geographic photographer Mark Leong, he's finding that the new iPhone 6s Plus is doing a great job of replacing his former heavy, clunky equipment.
Leong's most recent assignment sent him to Sanjiang in China, where he revisited sites from the 1989 trip that led to his becoming a professional photographer. The difference is that he was only allowed to take an iPhone 6s Plus this time, but with the help of a tripod and Cogitap's Slow Shutter Cam app, that didn't prove a problem (particularly with the camera's new 12 megapixel sensor).
In fact, he found that not having to lug along all that extra equipment "incredibly liberating." Back in the '80s, Leong carried eight pounds of Kodak film with him, along with two Nikon cameras and three lenses. You can check out the results from Leong's impressive journey over at National Geographic.
It's a happy day for one lucky teen in Massachusetts — not only was his life probably saved by his Apple Watch's heart monitor, but he also now has an amazing offer from Apple CEO Tim Cook. Elsewhere, the pope's visit to New York City and Philadelphia may force some iPhone preorder customers to wait an extra day for their devices, and Apple has already released a patch for the infant iOS 9.
The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have yet to officially hit shelves, but Apple has already released a new patch for iOS 9 that fixes several bugs. It's officially called iOS 9.0.1, and you can download it through your iPhone or iPad as an over-the-air update via the Settings app.
Apple's official announcement of the patch focuses on four key issues. As of the new update, users should no longer have problems completing the setup assistant while downloading iOS 9, and they should no longer have to worry about alarms and timers failing to play.
In addition, pausing videos in Safari and Photos should no longer cause the paused frame to look distorted, and users with a custom APN setup should no longer lose cellular data.
On the whole, those are some pretty significant bugs, so it's probably a good idea to download the patch soon if you already have iOS 9 installed. And if all goes well, those are four fewer headaches that the Cupertino company has to worry about when their next big release hits in a couple of days.
The Apple Watch may not focus on health to the extent that the earliest rumors claimed it would, but the features that it does have are already saving lives and leading to happy endings. Take the case of 17-year-old Paul Houle of Massachusetts, who noticed last week that his Apple Watch was telling him that his heart rate was still 145 two hours after football practice. The readings promoted Houle to visit the hospital, where he was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a muscle-injury condition that releases a harmful toxin into the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Apple CEO Tim Cook learned about the incident over the weekend, and as CBS Local in San Francisco reports, he personally called Houle and told him that he's offering him one of the brand new iPhones and (much, much better) a sunny summer internship to Apple next year.
Not too shabby, especially considering that Business Insider reported earlier this year that Apple interns make around ,700 per month along with the potential for overtime pay.
Of all the things that could delay an iPhone launch, the pope probably seems relatively low on the list. But that's just what Apple believes several zip codes in Philadelphia and New York City will be facing on Thursday and Friday when the pontiff visits the cities. In anticipation of the related delays, Apple is sending out messages to pre-order customers who might be affected.
One of the first to share the message was Gawker writer Sam Biddle, who showed in a tweet that his iPhone may not be ready for pickup on Friday on account of "traffic restrictions." (Biddle didn't seem too bothered by the announcement, as his accompanying commentary read "LOL COOL ".) Apple told Biddle and other users that it would make Saturday deliveries if their phones weren't ready for pickup by September 25.


30 July 2012 - London, United Kingdom - PEGI has today become the single video games age ratings system, under which it is illegal for a retailer to sell a video game with a PEGI age rating of 12, 16 or 18 to someone below that age. Up until today, the UK had two age ratings systems for video games, BBFC and PEGI, but from now on, PEGI (which stands for Pan-European Game Information) will become the single age rating system for all video games in the UK. The change is aimed at helping consumers, and especially parents, to make informed decisions about which video games to choose for their families, by clearly giving the suggested minimum age that you must be to play a game due to the suitability of its content.
These changes have been introduced by the Government as part of its commitment to better protect children from exposure to inappropriate video game content. Tanya Byron's "Safer Children in a Digital World" and Reg Bailey's "Letting Children be Children" reviews for Government have been instrumental in identifying ways in which industry, Government and retailers can work together to ensure children only access material that is suitable for their age.
Nearly all parents (92%) recognise the benefits that playing video games can have on their children, including educational benefits (58%), that they allow children to be creative (53%) and that they provide entertainment (77%).
Other benefits cited include increased co-ordination, strategic thinking and team-work.
Parents would benefit from guidance on which video games are suitable for their families. Over 1 in 3 parents (34%) admit to having given in and bought a video game that was unsuitable for their child, with 86% saying that the new PEGI system is required and almost a third already believing the PEGI ratings will help them choose which games are suitable for their children.
The survey also found that over a quarter of parents (26%) never play video games with their children, with mums and dads both equally unlikely to join in with the potential for family fun.
To mark the change in legislation, Ukie has launched the Control.Collaborate.Create. campaign, which includes the re-launch of the www.askaboutgames.com website, a resource for parents and the industry providing further information about video games ratings. It also offers real family stories and suggestions on how video games can be a creative and collaborative experience for all the family.
Dr Jo Twist, CEO of Ukie, added: "As we mark the start of PEGI as the single video game age rating system, we're delighted to use the opportunity to help parents to make informed decisions about which video games to choose for their family. A key way we're doing this is through the re-launch of www.askaboutgames.com. We'd urge parents to use this really helpful tool to ensure that playing video games has the biggest positive impact on their children and family as a whole.
As part of the campaign, a video for parents has been created, presented by TV and radio presenter, and mother of four, Jo Whiley. The video features information about the PEGI rating system and what the ratings mean. It aims to help empower parents to take direct control over what games their children play at home and how long they play them for, through checking the PEGI rating and making use of controls on video games systems.
Today also marks the start of the role of the Games Ratings Authority (GRA) as the operating name of The Video Standards Council. The GRA will be responsible for rating games to PEGI's specifications and the VSC will use this name in dealing with all matters concerning the age rating of video games.
Kim Bayley, Director General of the Entertainment Retailers Association, said: "Entertainment retailers are well used to administering ratings schemes, having worked for many years with the Video Standards Council on age rated video and games products. We are delighted that the new PEGI games ratings regime has come into effect today.
"Retailers have worked hard with their suppliers to ensure a successful introduction of the new system, which we believe will provide greater clarity for consumers and in particular reassurance to parents that the games their children play are appropriate to their age."
Anna-Marie Mason, Marketing Director at GAME Retail Ltd added: "GAME and gamestation apply rigorous training and audit standards to make sure that PEGI is understood by colleagues and customers alike. The framework is very clear and ensures that we guide customers correctly and responsibly. We're hugely supportive of PEGI in this new era."
The research for Ukie was carried out online by Opinion Matters between 02 / 07 / 2012 and 16 / 07 / 2012 amongst a panel resulting in 1,102 parents of children under 18 respondents. All research conducted adheres to the MRS Codes of Conduct (2010) in the UK and ICC/ESOMAR World Research Guidelines. Opinion Matters is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office and is fully compliant with the Data Protection Act (1998).
The Association for United Kingdom Interactive Entertainment or Ukie (pronounced YOU-KEY) is a trade body that represents the whole of the UK's video games and wider interactive entertainment industry. Founded in 1989 (and formerly known as ELSPA), Ukie's membership includes games publishers, developers and the academic institutions that support the industry.
Ukie works with government to champion a range of issues including age ratings, education and skills, tax incentives and protecting intellectual property rights. It also works with the media to ensure true and accurate representation of the sector by raising awareness of the industry's positive economic contribution and the societal benefits of gaming to policy makers, regulators and consumers.


Aggro management has been, and will continue to be, one of the most important things in nearly every raid. To date, the BEST way is to have a minimal amount of people required to keep things smooth. Typically 1 tank only on the main boss, and 2-3 others to handle trash mobs if they exist. Mass amount of people running around has always meant death, and will continue to mean death.
Demon Queen - 1 Caster kicks it off, everybody stays equal distances apart so aggro bounces evenly between party members.
Hound - 1 tank on main dog (high intim), 1 Caster per side managing trash mob aggro.
As you can see, its either 1 Tank, or a few that can pin the main boss in. Its all about aggro management, and keeping the main boss of the remainder of the party. This is a general rule of thumb, and we should keep it in mind with every raid we do.
Healing is KEY in any raid we do. Without it we'd never finish. When first attempting a raid we've never done before, its usually pretty resource intensive. This is all about the learning curve. Two general methods that are used in nearly all raids is either the "Hero" method, or "Mass" method.
Hero's we assign a tank per healer, mass we take turns on a primary tank mass healing them and those surrounding him. Average healers per raid in the game is 3. If you are using more than that, something is wrong with the remainder of the party make up.
Dragon - Hero method on 1 tank, each healer takes turns keeping that 1 tank up.
Demon Queen - Mass Method, between round party groups up and we keep mass heals up.
Titan - Mass heals on the top where the party groups, 1 healer will spot heal the main tank on the bottom.
Shroud - Both Mass/Hero can be used, depending on the amount of DPS you have in the party.
Hound - Mass Heals on puppies, spot heal remainder of party as needed.
So again, we need to experience the new raid, feel out how long it will take, and decide which method will be best, Mass or Hero. Random spot heals by all healers will just waste SP, and the party will die or you will use way more resources than you need to. A steady tactic/order of who will be healing when reduces resource use, keeps things running smoother, and gives us more time to complete the raid.
This comes in many forms. Each raid is geared toward a specific type of DPS, whether it be from casters, ranged combat, or hand to hand. Determining the correct form, will help us bring the appropriate characters into the raid to have a successful completion.
Dragon - Hero, 1 high DPS Barb/Tank to take the dragon down.
Demon Queen - Casters Unite, blast the hell out of the *****.
Titan - Not so much DPS oriented (pillars), but a good well rounded group should have no problems.
Abbot - 3-4 High DPS tanks to bring the abbots health down ASAP.
Shroud - The more high DPS tanks you have, the better, no less than 4 should be brought.
Hound - Stat damagers(wounding/punct), vorpals. Outer ring needs some high fast dps to take down mobs ASAP. This can be rangers/rouges/tanks/barbs/monks etc..
Again each raid is slightly different on DPS make up. Anytime we start a new raid we've never done, we should bring a well rounded party, and find out which ones were doing a decent sustainable damage over time, and concentrate on bringing more of that the next timer around.
Again with every raid the support classes can be the difference between success and failure. Primary support class in this game is the bard. Their songs, no matter the raid, help a tremendous amount, more than you can imagine, and 1 of this class should be with every raid group.
Every raid in the game, whether is the direct raid, or prequest to it, has a puzzle in it, with the exception of the hound. Determining the solution, and spreading word of that solution to the masses in the guild helps everyone complete faster/smoother.
Hound - No Puzzle, but charming the puppies was key to learn.
In every raid, its imperative that 1 person do the leading/talking. I've said it in our raids, in my guides, etc, mass people talking will mean death, no matter the party makeup, 1 person calmly leading the party, means success. In new raids, if everyone is talking at once, we will never ever learn anything. The ONE will, with input from the guild as a whole, come up with a strategy. The ONE will list this strategy at the beginning of the raid. We attempt it. During the raid, if something in the strat isn't working, just take note of it. We are bound to fail the first time through, its all about learning. So take your observations, keep them to yourself, and AFTER THE RAID, we as a group, will discuss what worked, what didn't, and your suggestions for new ideas on what may solve the problems we encounter. At that point we come up with another strategy, and try it again. Through process of elimination, we will figure out what works, and eventually have a strat to take the Raid down.
If you all have any other general ideas on what makes raids work, that kind of follow through every raid to date, please list them, I'll update this post and try to get a good working theory on how we should take on new raids.
LM*O Yeah, I can add him in, its really a single tank holding DPS too...I left out Vision as I wrote that before we had a decent strat. I'll update it again in the next day or so.
Awesome. Good stuff. Definitely should have expanded walk-through guides of all Raids done by some Raiders too with multiple legit methods. I definitely like the Boss Beat-Down Guide you've started.

Hyatt (H) to Expand Luxury Portfolio in Asia Pacific by 2020
Hyatt Hotels Corporation H announced plans of opening 21 luxury hotels and resorts in the Asia-Pacific region by the end of 2020. It plans to carry out these expansions through seven Park Hyatt branded properties, six Grand Hyatt and six Andaz brands, and two Alila branded resorts. The planned expansion will boost Hyatt's Asia-Pacific luxury portfolio by more than 25%.
The move not only underscores the company's relentless focus on expansion but is also the hotelier's way of countering growing competition from the likes of Marriott MAR, Hilton HLT and smaller hotel chains, including Choice Hotels CHH.
Backed by strong brand presence, shares of Hyatt have gained 2.3% over the past three months, outperforming the industry's 0.4% rally.
Expansion — Major Growth Driver
The company aims to differentiate its brands from one another by providing distinct travel experiences. It is also consistently trying to expand presence worldwide and has expansion plans in the Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
Meanwhile, Hyatt's new signings across its brands globally consistently outpaced openings. This trend is expected to continue in 2019. The company registered net room growth of 13.6% in 2018 on a year-over-year basis. For 2019, it expects unit growth of roughly 7-7.5%, reflecting 80 hotel openings.
The lodging industry is gaining from higher consumer disposable income, strong economy and low unemployment. Also, increased average daily rate (ADR) has been driving revenue per available room (RevPAR). Hyatt is trying to cash in on this opportunity through continual expansion.
Expansion in the Asia Pacific is in line with the company's efforts to expand and strengthen its brand name. It plans on capitalizing the growing tourist population in the Asia Pacific region. There is a large and growing middle-class population in these markets along with a significant number of local business travelers. This is likely to support the company's growth in these markets.
Also, we believe that these recent hotel additions will fortify the Hyatt brand's global footprint and provide a boost to Hyatt's Owned and Leased Hotels' revenues. As it is, in the first quarter of 2019, revenues at Owned and Leased Hotels totaled $458 million, down 9.6% from the year-ago figure.
Hyatt currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Choice Hotels International, Inc. CHH relies on continual expansion and acquisitions to drive growth. However, intense competition and higher costs of operations have been concerning. The co...

University of Warwick becomes UK's first public 5G connected university campus
BT, University of Warwick and Warwickshire County Council are collaborating to bring 5G innovation to the university campus and the wider region.
BT has switched on the UK's first dedicated public 5G network for a connected campus, bringing ultrafast 5G mobile coverage to university students, staff and visitors across the 720-acre site and to people in surrounding areas through its EE mobile network. The commercial 5G installation is the first phase of a strategic alliance between BT and the university to accelerate the co-creation of 5G led capabilities within the campus and for industries across the UK.
The installation of a public 5G cell site on University of Warwick's main campus will mark the University as an early adopter of 5G technology and a testbed for research, industry and consumer 5G use case development.
In a further step, the company will soon extend 5G network coverage to the University's Creative and Digital Communities incubator, to support creative and digital companies working with the University and those located in the Leamington Spa area. Leamington Spa's 'Silicon Spa' games industry cluster will also benefit from a focus on esports (a form of sport competition using video games) and gaming.
Fotis Karonis, CTIO of BT's Enterprise unit, said: "University of Warwick is renowned for its world- leading research and innovation, so its status as the first public 5G connected university campus in the country is very fitting. With the 5G network now live across the entire campus, we're gearing up to accelerate the co-creation of innovative 5G use cases in a partnership with University of Warwick. This will not only benefit its faculty, student experience and academic R&D, but will also shape 5G learning and co-creation for key business industries across the UK."
David Plumb, the University of Warwick's Chief Innovation Officer said: "Our public 5G connected campus will support new areas of research, enable new teaching technologies, help us to support even more regional businesses and add to students' campus experience be it in teaching, esports or simply through an enhanced performance on mobile devices."
Councillor Peter Butlin, Warwickshire County Council's portfolio holder for finance and property, said: "I'm particularly pleased to see the coverage extending to Silicon Spa area in Leamington. This will be a real boost to the cluster of gaming companies based there which make such a strong contribution to the county's economy and which are a major employer of young people, whose employment prospects have been hardest hit by the pandemic."
The university has already begun to draw on 5G technology.
Together, BT and University of Warwick will help deliver Europe's first Connected Autonomous Mobility (CAM) demonstration over a public 5G network. The demo, being undertaken by WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group) at University of Warwick, will explore Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication scenarios with two connected autonomous pods exchanging live data feeds; including LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data and live video alerts of road obstacles, to enhance future road and pedestrian safety.
The transport and mobility sectors are expected to gain heavily from 5G as the high-speed network and low latency connectivity will enable transportation to become faster, smarter and safer. BT is combining its network expertise with WMG's leading work in the manufacturing and transport technologies to understand the behaviour and movements of connected autonomous pods, powered by 5G technology.
BT will also work with the University of Warwick's School of Engineering to pioneer 5G for medical technology. 5G connectivity will enable the health and social care sector to effectively care for patients remotely and in real-time – a trend which is accelerating as the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact the healthcare sector. The School of Engineering will explore how 5G could be used to help people and monitor their 'Health and Wellness' throughout their normal daily activities. In addition, The Institute of Digital Health and Warwick Medical School will also look to understand how 5G might have positive impacts on the healthcare sector.
BT's development of 5G in the gaming and esports industry (combined with AI, IoT and data analytics) will also reap significant benefits from this new 5G collaboration with the University of Warwick. University of Warwick students are the winners of The British University Esports Championship and Warwick is the first University to hold the UK e-sports University of the Year title.
EE, part of BT Group, recently switched on 5G in 12 additional towns and cities across the UK including the first 5G service in Warwick, cementing its position as the best network in the UK, with 112 5G locations now live.

Port of Allyn previews 2022 legislative session
The Port of Allyn received a recap of what to expect from its upcoming legislative session during its board of commissioners' Jan. 3 regular meeting, thanks to a presentation by port governmental affairs consultant Holly Cocci.
The session began Monday. It's the second year of the legislative biennium, or the shorter legislative session of the two, so it's scheduled to last 60 days.
"Legislators attempted to lower expectations for the forthcoming short session," Cocci said. "However, the lengthy list of emerging legislative proposals suggests the 2022 session will be a full agenda for sure."
Among the matters Cocci listed are transportation funding, policing and public safety, and COVID-19 restrictions, as well as bills put forward during the 2021 session that did not pass.
"In addition to policy discussions, the Legislature will also make amendments to the 2021-23 operating capital and transportation budgets that were adopted during the 2021 session, thus creating supplemental budgets," Cocci said.
According to Cocci, the state's economy is outperforming the national economy, resulting in roughly $890 million in additional revenue, compared to what was forecast in March, which was the baseline for the current biennial operating budget.
"Revenues in the capital and transportation budgets, however, continue to be more limited, especially the transportation budget," Cocci said, adding that the state received $14 billion in CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act and ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funds. The CARES money has been fully allocated and spent.
Of the $4.4 billion in ARPA money that the state received, Cocci reported that $1.3 billion remains, but it's set to expire at the end of 2024.
"Between 2019-21, we were able to secure a total of $732,000 within the state capital budget to restore the Oyster House," Cocci said. "The port's request this year is a bit more urgent in nature. We'll be asking for $400,000 to develop the new well and booster pump facility."
Cocci reminded the commissioners the port is under a mandate, by the state Department of Ecology, to complete the new well within two years, thanks to an extension that's already been granted. State Rep. Dan Griffey, R-Allyn, is set to lead this budget request.
"It is a supplemental budget year, so it will not be easy to secure any funds this session," Cocci said. "However, I think we're in good standing, because this is urgent, it's a state mandate and the port needs to increase its well capacity due to its obligation to the (Urban Growth Act)."
Cocci sought to temper the commissioners' expectations — she said she anticipates receiving the full $400,000 would be unlikely.
Due to the omicron variant, the House of Representatives is conducting floor sessions "completely virtually" at the beginning of session, which Cocci noted "they were not going to do initially." The House had previously planned "a more hybrid approach," but now, it will "re-establish every couple of weeks throughout the session."

Ever wonder if all of your devices are in a boundary? Six months ago I wrote a script to help solve this problem. I told no one about it and forgot about it until someone on the mailing list mentioned that they made a SQL query to do something similar. Not to be outdone, I decided to share my script with the world!

This script is pretty simple to run. It only needs the parameters SiteServer and SiteCode. You can pipe the output to GridView with Out-GridView to make the data easier to read also! This is what the output looks like once you run the script with | Out-GridView:

Well, your output won't have those black lines, but you get the idea. This gives you a list of every computer in your organization and shows you which ones are not in a boundary. Let me know if you have any questions!

In the coming years, the LCMS National Housing Support Corporation's (NHSC) role will be focused specifically on implementing a robust, capital-intensive housing strategy in College Hill. This work will begin with the launch of the first phase of the College Hill housing program (the "Nazareth Homes"). To facilitate the creation of this housing program, the Campaign for College Hill is launching a $2 million capital campaign to bring additional philanthropic support to this community. By raising support for new affordable housing opportunities,the Campaign for College Hill will transform College Hill into a safe, vibrant, financially stable, and healthy community."Nazareth Homes" is one piece of a broader concept plan that includes new pocket parks, infrastructure improvements, economic development, and quality of life initiatives. Phase I of the project will consist of approximately twenty (20) homes and has launched with the construction of two display homes. To date, two of these homes have been built – with one sold and the second serving as a model home. In 2014 and early 2015, we plan to complete another seven "Nazareth Homes" (which are all being built on a pre-sale basis).
In addition to the "Nazareth Homes" initiative, the Campaign for College Hill also continues to bring many new resources to the local community. In early 2014, Wells Fargo, through its UrbanLift program, committed $150,000 to tearing down blighted buildings in the College Hill area and restoring nine lots to a buildable state. NHSC has secured $100,000 from Daughters of Charity and the Lutheran Foundation of St. Louis to conduct much-needed home repair work for senior residents in College Hill. This initial funding will support at least twelve rehabs for elderly residents. An additional $160,000 has been requested from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines to support 20 more rehabs, planned for next year. The residents of College Hill have united behind a community safety initiative, led jointly by NHSC, Grace Hill Settlement House, and Riverview West Florissant CDC. Later in 2014, NHSC will work to develop, with the assistance of a community planner, a comprehensive development plan for College Hill, which will outline the next five years of economic and community development for the neighborhood.
The leading organization involved in this campaign, the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod, has a forty-five year history of formal housing and community development work, beginning in 1967-69 with the launch of "Keys for Christ" – a national affordable housing campaign. The LCMS has a tremendous legacy and experience in this field and brings to College Hill the collective resources its vast network of 6,000 congregations and 2.2 million members. To support the capital campaign in College Hill, the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod has committed the first $100,000 as a lead, challenge grant.
For those seeking to create significant community change in St. Louis, College Hill is a natural starting place. There is a significant amount of investment in this area already (more than $1.8 million by NHSC and its partners alone). The area's service providers are well organized and working to pursue their work together. The commitment of the LCMS to the community also puts tremendous resources on the ground to support this work. We invite you to join this tremendous collaborative effort to transform our city, neighborhood by neighborhood – starting in College Hill.
We need your help to support this critical housing development that will help to revitalize and restore the College Hill community. Please keep this initiative in your prayers and share information about its progress with your friends and networks via social media. If you would like to support families with the affordability gap noted above, please make a gift today using the "Give Now" button below. If you would like to make a gift over the phone, please call 888-930-4438.


California has inched one step closer to permitting the testing of fully driverless vehicles on its public roads, a development that could come as soon as 2018. Officials with the state's Department of Motor Vehicles have unveiled long-awaited revisions of proposed regulations that pave the way for further testing and deployment of autonomous vehicles in the state, including those that no longer have human drivers.
Despite a few minor changes, the proposed regulations are consistent with those outlined by the California DMV earlier this year. Manufacturers and other members of the public have 15 days to comment on this latest version of the regulations before they're formally submitted for rubber stamping. Barring the need for further changes, the regulations could take effect by the middle of next year.
Currently, California's regulations require a human safety driver behind the wheel of all autonomous test vehicles. Once finalized, the new regulations will allow manufacturers that hold permits to test autonomous vehicles without a driver behind a steering wheel. That includes ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft, which will be allowed to operate rides for regular members of the public as long as they don't charge fees.
Businesses, especially those that plan to operate cars without traditional controls such as steering wheels and brake pedals, have given the revised regulations a warm response. A spokesperson for Waymo said, "We welcome the steps the California DMV is taking to permit both testing and deployment in the state." David Strickland, general counsel for the autonomy-related lobbying group Self-Driving Coalition for Safer Streets, said he is "encouraged" by the DMV's progress.
The revisions come at a pivotal time in the advent of a legal structure surrounding automated cars. At the federal level, Congress is considering legislation that would permit the deployment of as many as 80,000 automated cars per manufacturer that don't conform to existing federal motor-vehicle safety standards over a three-year period. Further, proposed U.S. Senate legislation affirms the federal government's role as a vehicle safety regulator and, if enacted, would supersede individual states' autonomous-vehicle laws and regulations. That's advantageous for manufacturers, because they don't want to face a patchwork of state-by-state laws governing the use of autonomous cars.
On its face, California's regulations complement the proposed federal law. They recognize the authority of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in setting safety standards and merely stipulate that manufacturers testing autonomous vehicles in California must certify they meet federal standards or hold an exemption to them. The DMV also wants manufacturers to send it a copy of the same safety assessments they send the federal regulators.
But that may be a hollow requirement. When the U.S. Department of Transportation unveiled its own policy on automated vehicles in September, it made it clear that submitting a safety assessment was voluntary, not mandatory. And there are no existing federal safety standards that apply to automated-vehicle technology.
California put its own regulations in place in September 2014, and since the state is a hotbed for autonomous testing, those rules have shaped the fledgling safety culture at this outset of an autonomous era of travel. Nowhere is that clearer than in California's requirement that manufacturers submit documents related to the disengagement of autonomous technology during testing, whether machine initiated or because a driver intervened.
These documents aren't perfect. At best, they offer a snapshot of statistics, not necessarily insight as to whether a disengagement occurred during easy highway miles or more aggressive testing of complex scenarios. Nonetheless, the reports are the most transparent measure regulators or members of the public have to gauge the competence of self-driving systems in the United States, and they could offer more insight going forward. Or not.
As part of its revised regulations, California redesigned the disengagement-report format in the hope of gleaning more information, with new fields to note whether the disengagements occurred in urban or interstate environments, whether or not a driver was present, and a description of facts surrounding the disengagement. The California DMV's Soublet said the added specificity will help analysts see "some commonality" within the data.
Both automakers and tech companies frequently grumble about the necessity of the disengagement reports, because they'd prefer not to share testing data they consider proprietary. Last December, Uber tussled with the California DMV after testing automated tech without first getting a permit—a circumvention that many surmised was Uber's intent to avoid filing disengagement reports. But the reports haven't slowed the growth of testing in California. In June 2016, 11 companies were permitted to test there. Today, there are 42 companies testing 285 automated vehicles on the state's roads.
Among other updates in its regulations, the California DMV has added further clarification of which local authorities need to be notified of testing plans and notes that they should be provided information on the date, time, and roads on which testing will occur. They specify that information on the vehicle's automated systems should be made available to law enforcement, although there's no requirement that the vehicles have that information available onboard. And they mandate that vehicles be connected so that manufacturers can communicate with them from remote operations centers.
Unlike other states that have given manufacturers clearance to test with far more lax laws and regulations, California's rules are often viewed as onerous. But Soublet said it matters that autonomous vehicles are rolled out in a deliberate and meticulous fashion.


With asparagus in high season, this is a delicious way to start a special meal. My favorite way to cook asparagus is to roast it at high heat which caramelizes and concentrates its flavor. After it's been roasted, asparagus dresses up very easily. In this recipe from Sara Moulton Cooks at Home, I have put it on grilled bread, tossed it with a little balsamic vinegar and white truffle oil, and finished it with some shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano. Simple as it is, people go crazy for this hors d 'oeuvre. You can grill the bread and roast the asparagus a day ahead. Just don't toss it with the vinegar and truffle oil until the last minute.
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and discard. Peel the stalks of the asparagus halfway up the length and arrange in one flat layer over the bottom of a roasting pan or baking sheet. Drizzle on the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast on the middle rack of the oven until just tender, about 10 minutes. Cool and cut in half crosswise.
Prepare a charcoal fire. When the flames have died down and the coals are glowing, place the grill 3 to 4 inches from the source of heat. Alternatively, preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Grill the bread until lightly toasted, turning often. Rub one side of each slice with the cut garlic clove while hot.
Cover the bread with the cheese. Toss the asparagus with the vinegar and half the truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper. Top each slice of bread with asparagus, mounding it in the center. Drizzle with the remaining truffle oil and serve at room temperature.

Watch the Destiny 2: Warmind Reveal Live Stream Right Here
Chandler WoodTuesday, April 24, 2018
If you want to know what's coming next in Destiny 2, you're in the right place. Bungie is set to begin the Destiny 2: Warmind reveal stream today at 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern. Warmind is the second expansion for Destiny 2, and the final piece of the expansion pass. A major expansion is expected to release in September, but that will be separate from the Destiny 2 expansion pass that includes Curse of Osiris and Warmind.
Here's what's on the agenda for the live stream:
Explore Mars Hellas Basin with Evan Nikolich and Brent Gibson
Survive the Hive Escalation Protocol with Benjamin Wommack and Jacob Benton
Upgraded Exotics and Crucible Updates with Josh Hamrick, Jon Weisnewski, and Kevin Yanes
It's expected that we'll get a lot of additional information on top of these headlines, but the above is how the stream is expected to be organized.
Destiny 2 has been disappointing a lot of players, myself included, and a lackluster Curse of Osiris didn't do a lot to fix things. Bungie recently held a community summit to have direct conversations with community leaders about the state of the game. Their reception to the summit has been overwhelmingly positive, though the task now falls to Bungie to implement that feedback into the future.
A lot of recent changes have gone a long way in improving Destiny 2, and they've laid out a roadmap through September that will guide the changes until that time. One of the biggest things Bungie has been doing is making more of the changes and updates free to all players, not just those who purchase the expansions. Crucible maps will now be put into rotation for everyone so that playlists are not divided. Even if you don't intend on purchasing Warmind, you can still play in the Crucible on the new maps. Retroactively that will also include the Curse of Osiris maps, and all future Crucible additions.
Is Destiny 2 something you want to get into again, or maybe you're gaining interest for the first time? Watch the Destiny 2 Warmind reveal live stream with us to see what's coming.

So a little while ago on twitter we met the Stellar Dexterz. We checked out their myspace page and were totally blown away by these guys. On the tail of the "Alt-Hiphop-Bro" revolution, this Orlando based duo are switching it up by experimenting with dance/electro AND hiphop. The Dexterz dropped their debut LP, Weird Science, in December 08 (pick it up for a buck here) and followed it up with a promotional tour called "Back of the School Bus". Their tunes are "freshhh" and we at SLICE are big fans.

these guys need to come to Canada and rock a show!!!!


John Rowson Smith studied under his father, John Rubens Smith, whose pupils later included Sanford Robinson Gifford. The elder Smith was primarily an engraver and lithographer, but his son became a scenery painter, working after 1832 in Philadelphia, New Orleans, St. Louis, and other cities. About the end of the 1830s, Smith took up panoramic painting, and his most successful example, a panorama of the Mississippi River, was exhibited in both the United States and Europe. He went to Europe in 1848 and afterward settled in New Jersey, where he painted scenery for theaters in New York and the South.

How A Keynote Speaker Can (And Can't) Transform Your Event?
Being a keynote speaker can be quite a tough job. A keynote speaker has to persuade people to think differently, motivate them to accept change, steer them towards action, put in simple words, he has to bring the audience out of their comfort zone which is always tough. Whether it's a product launch, a business meeting or a motivational seminar, a keynote speaker should be able to convey the message efficiently, that too without boring the audience. That is why big speakers charge in excess of $15,000 for a single conference, because single-handedly they can steer your event towards success. After all what's the point of spending thousands of dollars for a conference which doesn't excite the audience or fails to bring any change.
Propel the audience to action: Great speakers have this habit of propelling people into action. They form an emotional connect with the audience and motivate them to start practicing their teachings right from day one. That is why whenever you see people exiting a great seminar you can see them all charged up and smiling.
Convey the need to change: This is the most important aspect of any speaker's job, conveying the need to change. A good keynote speaker shows the audience how good their life can be if they accept these personal and professional changes. He/she uses examples and real stories to show how pure will power can turn your life around for the good.
Guidelines for the future: What after the keynote speaker is gone, what if the audience loses motivation again? For this very reason great speakers give the audience booklets or e-books that have all the principles for success. All one has to do is practice these principles daily and success would be theirs for sure.
Make it humorous: All work and no play can be very boring indeed. A great way to measure an event's success is to see how entertaining it was. Great speakers make sure that their teachings are put across in the most humorous way possible, a ploy that they have mastered.
Events are a great way for companies and organizations to put their message across to their intended audience. Whether it be a product launch or a performance meeting, companies need great speakers to add value to their event, speakers that can transfer the message inside the hearts of the people. That is why a good keynote speaker can really transform an event towards success while a bad one can send your event into the bin. A great speaker first understands the problems people are facing and forms a ground connect with them so that they can feel comfortable. Afterwards, his job is divided into three simple steps a)convey why change is good for the audience using examples b) motivate them to take action and c) teach them skills and methods that can keep this positivity going long after he/she is gone. A great way to judge whether your event was a success or not is to see the faces of people exiting the seminar, if they are all excited and smiling, it means your speaker was efficient and worth every penny.

Q: How do I add the "YouTube Data API v3" API meta-data on manifest? I been looking on internet some code that shows how to add the YouTube Data API v3 API meta-data code on the manifest, but no succeed.
It is just something like this?
<meta-data android:value="My_API_KEY"/>

or do I have to add more things?
Will appreciate your help.
Thanks!

A: As stated in the official documentation, it is all done via code. Something like
public static final String DEVELOPER_KEY = "YOUR_KEY_HERE";
private YouTubePlayerFragment youTubeFragment;
private YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener listener;
...

public void init() {
  youTubeFragment.initialize(DEVELOPER_KEY, listener);
}

I strongly suggest you to take a look at the official sample applications, there's everything you need to know.
