Description of Work:
Yoweri Kaguta Museveni became President of the Republic of Uganda on January 29, 1986 after leading a successful five-year liberation struggle. He went to the bush with 26 other young men and organized the National Resistance Movement and National Resistance Army (NRM/NRA) to oppose the tyranny that previous regimes had unleashed upon the population.
After victory, he formed a broad-based government that helped to unite the country's political groups.
Previous to the struggle of 1981-1986, Museveni had been one of the leaders in the anti-Amin resistance of 1971-1979 that had led to the fall of that monstrous regime.
Museveni, who has been politically active since his student days at Ntare School, Mbarara, in south west Uganda, studied political science at the University of Dar es Salaam, graduating in 1970 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics and Political Science.
After Idi Amin's coup in 1971, Museveni was instrumental in forming Fronasa (the Front for National Salvation). Fronasa made up the core of one of the Ugandan fighting groups which, together with the Tanzanian People's Defence Forces, ousted Amin's regime in April 1979.
The NRA was unique in Africa
In the governments that succeeded Amin, Museveni served briefly as Minister of Defence, Minister of Regional Co-operation and Vice-Chairman of the Military Commission. In December 1980, the country's first general elections in 20 years were held but they were rigged by Milton Obote's Uganda People's Congress Party. During the election campaign, Museveni had warned that if the elections were rigged, he would fight Obote's regime and on February 6, 1981, he launched the guerrilla struggle. He went to the bush with only 26 guns and organised the National Resistance Army (NRA) to oppose the tyranny that Obote's regime had unleashed upon the population.
The NRA (now renamed the Uganda People's Defence Forces) is unique in Africa for being the only guerrilla force to take over power without much external support and without having a rear base in a neighbouring country. Its main camps were based only 20 miles from the capital, Kampala. This demonstrated how the NRA leadership was, in extremely difficult circumstances, capable of achieving sophisticated levels of organisational discipline and techniques for managing both soldiers and civilians.
Early political awareness
Yoweri Kaguta Museveni was born in 1944 during the Second World War and his name was taken from the Abaseveni, who were Ugandan servicemen in the Seventh Regiment of the King's African Rifles into which many Ugandans had been drafted.
He was born in a peasant pastoralist background in Ankole, western Uganda. As the peasants in his home area were nomads, their children did not go to school and modern ideas about animal husbandry, hygiene and health care did not percolate through to them.
In addition, they were exploited and oppressed by land policies, such as ranching schemes, which displaced them from their traditional lands. Such policies were instituted by the British colonialists and supported by local collaborator chiefs and, later, by neo-colonialist independence politicians.
Owing to his background and his early determination to fight against political and social injustices, Museveni decided in 1966 to lead a campaign mobilising the peasants in northern Ankole to fence their land and refuse to vacate it. The campaign was largely successful and his political awareness and activity became more focused during the three years (1967 to 1970) he spent at the University of Dar es Salaam. His wide reading covered Fanon, Lenin, Marx, Rodney, Mao, as well as liberal Western thinkers like Galbraith. These writers shaped his intellectual and political outlook.
Compared to other universities in the region, Dar es Salaam had a very good, progressive atmosphere which gave the students a chance to become familiar with pan-Africanist and anti-colonialist ideas. This was due to the Pan-Africanist views and policies of Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, the President of Tanzania. Nevertheless, many professors and lecturers were right wing in their views and this often brought them into conflict with the radical students.
The dissatisfaction with the stance of the lecturers in 1967 led Museveni, Eriya Kategaya, James Wapakhabulo, Joseph Mulwanyamuli Ssemwogerere, John Kawanga, all from Uganda, Charles Kileo and Salim Msoma from Tanzania, Kapote Mwakasungura from Malawi, Adam Marwa and Patrick Quoro also from Tanzania, John Garang from Sudan, Andrew Shija from Tanzania, and many students from other African countries, to form a self-help ideological study and activist group known as the University Students African Revolutionary Front (USARF). Every Sunday they would hold a class, invite speakers of their choice, enrich their ideas about the evolution of society, and discuss topics dealing with the production and distribution of wealth.
USARF was composed of students from Kenya, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda and Museveni was elected its chairman for the whole time he was at the university. USARF identified closely with African liberation movements, especially Frelimo in Mozambique, which the Front supported, for instance, by producing pamphlets for their publicity work. Other members of USARF were to become politically active and influential both in Uganda and elsewhere in Africa.
Pragmatic, nationalist politician
Although President Museveni is a man with very strong convictions, his political vision on how to lay a foundation for reconciliation and national harmony enabled him to accommodate ideas that were often opposed to his. One of his greatest contributions to the politics of Uganda, therefore, has been to spearhead a policy of reconciliation after two decades of social and political turmoil. Under his leadership, the Movement Government has ended the vicious circle of vengeance and hatred that had ruined the country. People from different tribes, religions and political allegiances can now co-exist in harmony.
He accepts this heterogeneity as a matter of course because it mirrors the social spectrum of Ugandan society. He formed a broad-based government and demonstrated to Ugandans that although they had different political, social and religious backgrounds, they had a lot in common and a common destiny, contrary to the divide-and-rule tactics previous politicians had used to fragment Ugandan society.
He took pains to explain that the typical Third World problems of poverty, illiteracy, disease and general backwardness had nothing to do with one's religion or ethnic origin. The NRM's guiding Ten-Point Programme, which was debated and agreed upon under his chairmanship in 1984 during the bush war, basically set out to redress the political and social wrongs that were inflicted on the Ugandan people for two-and-a-half decades.
He says: "The National Resistance Movement has an unwavering commitment to the respect of human rights and the sanctity of life. We waged a protracted war against tyranny on a platform of restoring personal freedoms and the amelioration of the socio-economic conditions of our people – that is the cornerstone of our programme."
He has typically taken a very independent political stand and says: "We take from every system what is best for us and we reject what is bad for us. We do not judge the economic programmes of other nations because we believe that each nation knows best how to address the needs of its people. The NRM is neither pro-West nor pro-East – it is pro-Uganda".
In July 1990, President Museveni was elected the Chairman of the Organisation of African Unity for the year 1990/91. As he said in his acceptance speech, this was a vote of confidence in the efforts of the National Resistance Movement to build a just society with a democratic and economically viable future for the nation. The general consensus both at home and abroad, however, was that his election was a vote of confidence in the man himself. It showed that after only four-and-a-half years in office, he was already an international statesman of considerable standing.
A new constitution for Uganda
When the National Resistance Movement came to power in 1986, it started working methodically towards taking Uganda back to the constitutional road from which it had been diverted by past regimes. A Constitutional Commission was instituted to gather views from Ugandans throughout the whole country. After two years' work traversing the whole country gathering the people's views, the Commission produced a report from which a draft constitution was extracted. A Constituent Assembly was elected and tasked to debate and enact a new constitution.
When the Constituent Assembly was opened on May 18, 1994, President Museveni challenged the delegates: "We must ensure that our political institutions spring from our social structure. If we are to develop, we must evolve institutional models which will liberate us from our backwardness. We must modernize our societies and lay the foundation for industrialization.
We cannot modernize, industrialize or develop without creating an appropriate institutional framework within which to work. It is the historic responsibility of this Constituent Assembly to set our country on the path to development and prosperity."
Museveni is a supporter of sports as he was an ardent sportsman himself during his school days.
Although the law entitled him, as President, to address the Constituent Assembly on any issue he wished, he deliberately refused to influence the proceedings. As a result, no individual or political faction can dub the new constitution a 'Museveni' document. This was a great contribution to the constitution-making process.
Delegates arrived at decisions either by consensus or majority vote. However, he advised delegates to combine flexibility on contentious issues by distinguishing between subjective demands and the objective realities that faced the country.
The process culminated in the promulgation of a new constitution on October 8, 1995. Museveni says: "The NRM has been like a political doctor trying to solve the problems of Uganda. In order to treat a disease, however, you must, first of all, diagnose the illness." Ugandans agree that the new constitution went a long way towards healing the political and social ills from which Uganda had suffered since independence. It also laid a firm foundation for the stability of the country for generations to come.
First directly elected President
In 1996, Museveni offered himself as a candidate for President in the first general elections since the abortive attempt of 1980. Two other candidates, including Paulo Ssemwogerere, the veteran opposition leader who had been a minister in the NRM Government for 10 years, opposed him. Museveni won a landslide victory – with more than 75 per cent of the vote – and became the first directly elected President in the history of Uganda.
In the last five years, Museveni has initiated dramatic programmes that are destined to transform the lives of Ugandans forever. Grassroots-based programmes in health, safe water provision and mass education have replaced the shallow elite programmes of the past that did not address the needs of the majority of the people.
At the same time, Museveni has maintained hard-nosed macro-economic stabilisation policies that have controlled inflation below 10 per cent for the last nine years.
Consequently, the GDP of Uganda has doubled over the 15 years that the Movement Government has been in power. Absolute poverty has reduced from 56 per cent to 44 per cent. School enrolment in primary schools has jumped from 2.5 million to 6.8 million children; and universities have grown from one in 1986 to 13 by 2001.

The Pharaoh Hound is a breed of dog and the national hound of the Mediterranean nation of Malta. Its native name is Kalb tal-Fenek (plural: Kilab tal-Fenek) in Maltese language, which means "Rabbit dog". The dog is traditionally used by some Maltese men for hunting.Based on DNA analysis, the breed has no link with Ancient Egypt. However, a popular myth holds that the breed is descended from the Tesem, one of the ancient Egyptian hunting dogs. Some believe the there are similarities between the breed and images of dogs found on the walls of Art of ancient Egypt. This myth proposes that the Pharaoh Hound was brought by the Phoenicians to Malta, where it has existed for over 2,000 years.The breed has variously been classified as a member of the sighthound group.
In 1647 Giovanni Francesco Abela, in his Della Descrittione di Malta isola nel Mare Siciliano: con le sue antichità, ed altre notizie, wrote "... we have the dogs called Cernechi, much valued for rabbit-hunting, which are often in demand as far away as France, mainly for [use in] steep and stony mountain terrain". Authors such as Cecil Camilleri have taken this to refer to the Kelb tal-Fenek. The modern Cirneco dell'Etna is a Sicily breed, very similar in structure and appearance, but somewhat smaller (43cm - 51cm) than the Kelb tal-Fenek.In Britain, the first two specimens of the breed were brought from Malta in the 1920s, but no litter was bred. Again, some dogs were imported to the UK in the early 1960s, and the first litter was born in 1963. The breed standard was recognised by The Kennel Club in 1974. The breed was called the Pharaoh Hound although this name was already used by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale as an alternative name for the Ibizan Hound at that time. When the FCI abolished this name in 1977 and decided to call the Ibizan Hound exclusively by its original Spanish language name Podenco Ibicenco, the term Pharaoh Hound was transferred to the Kelb tal-Fenek, whose breed standard had been recognised by the FCI at the same time.There are a number of breeds similar to the Pharaoh Hound in the Mediterranean area, including the Cirneco in Sicily. Others include the Podenco Ibicenco, the Podenco Canario and the Portuguese Podengo. Each breed is slightly different with physical characteristics that match the terrain the dogs hunt on. It is not clear whether those breeds have descended from the same ancestral lines or whether their similarities have developed due to similar environmental conditions.
Pharaoh hounds, being somewhat uncommon outside of the Maltese Islands of Malta and Gozo, and because they are not profitable for commercial breeding, have not been subjected to as much irresponsible breeding as some more popular breeds. Breeders try hard to prevent hereditary diseases from entering the gene pool. Pharaohs are basically free from genetic diseases. Reputable breeders continue to test their breeding stock for genetic conditions such as Hip dysplasia (canine), luxating patellas, and myriad eye conditions just to ensure that these disorders do not become a problem. Reputable breeders should be able to show documentation of health screening performed on their breeding dogs. Note that Pharaohs, like most sighthounds, are sensitive to barbiturate anaesthetics. Their ears are thin and prone to frostbite when in cold climates.
Life expectancy is about 12 to 14 years.
Height: 43cm - 51cm

With regard to hazards or disruptions that pose a risk, what hazards are eligible for this RFP?
The Risk Plan was intended to be relevant to all hazards that USGS studies. In the Plan, hazard is defined "a dangerous process, phenomenon, substance, activity, or condition that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage." Therefore, projects related to geohazards (e.g., earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, coastal storms), wildfires, contaminants, wildlife disease outbreaks, as well as slow-onset events (e.g., drought, sea level rise, long-term erosion or subsidence) -- or any combination of these -- are eligible. Importantly, keep in mind that the Risk Plan (and this RFP) focuses on the intersection of hazards and society; projects solely focused on hazards, and not their potential impact to assets of societal value, will not be as competitive.
When you say risk, risk to what?
In the Risk Plan, risk is defined as the potential for the full or partial loss of something of societal value due to current or proposed courses of action under conditions of uncertainty regarding real-time and future adverse events. Therefore, within the USGS plan, risk is more broadly characterized as the confluence of a hazard with societal assets or systems exposed to that hazard.
Where can I find more information on the Risk Plan?
The Risk Plan is available here. In addition, the USGS published a Top Story on the Plan, which is available here and the Natural Hazards Center also published a story on the Risk Plan, available here.
What is the Risk Community of Practice and how do I join?
The Risk Research and Applications Community of Practice was created to convene like-minded scientists, communication experts, and staff from across USGS to discuss issues relevant to risk research and applications. Monthly meetings occur on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 1p ET and include a mix of presentations, discussions, and announcements about relevant resources, events, and activities. Past meetings are archived on the community wiki. Anyone interested is welcome to attend and ideas for future meetings are always appreciated. To join the Risk Research and Applications Community of Practice, visit https://listserv.usgs.gov/mailman/listinfo/cdi-risk Joining will add you to the email distribution list and provide access to the community wiki.
Can I contract outside personnel/services?
Yes. Please be aware that all contracts and/or cooperative agreements must be developed and executed through the funded cost center and are subject to compliance with Bureau policy and procedures. Every effort should be made to identify the contractor/services (e.g., name, expertise/qualifications) BEFORE submitting the proposal so that the panel can understand the expertise of this team member or component of the proposal.
Where will award announcements be posted?
Awardees will be notified directly by email. Awards will be announced beginning on March 21, 2022 and will be posted on the Risk Community of Practice wiki page (see https://my.usgs.gov/confluence/x/DoIcJQ). Community membership is required to access this site. To join the Risk Research and Applications Community of Practice, visit https://listserv.usgs.gov/mailman/listinfo/cdi-risk
I am a term employee/Mendenhall Fellow/USGS post-doc. Can I apply as a lead PI?
Yes. This RFP is open to all USGS Federal employees. However, if there is uncertainty in the duration of your position, please discuss this opportunity with your Supervisor to ensure that the work can be completed if you depart and include a brief explanation of your contingency plan in the proposal narrative.
What cost burden/overhead rate should I use in my budget?
Proposals should be prepared using the Lead PI cost center burden/overhead rate. Please verify your cost center burden/overhead rate with your Administrative Officer.
Can I involve external collaborators (e.g., from academia, non-governmental organizations, other agencies, international partners)?
Yes, as long as it is in keeping with the RFP guidance. Please ensure your Center can transfer funds to the external collaborator (e.g., academic institution, non-governmental organization, other agency). As stated above, please be aware that all contracts and/or cooperative agreements must be developed and executed through the funded cost center and are subject to compliance with Bureau policy and procedures. This may require completing the action and/or arranging new cooperative agreements, which can be time consuming. While not required, a letter of support from these collaborators will be viewed favorably in the review process. All funds must be expended – not just obligated – by March 31, 2023.
Are there limits on how the funds can be used? For instance, if I want to organize a series of stakeholder engagement workshops, are there limits to how the money can be spent and on what?
The use of awarded funds needs to be relevant to the RFP guidance and justified clearly in the proposal. With respect to workshops, funds can be used towards workshop expenses (e.g., travel for USGS or external colleagues, supplies, space). Please work with your cost center to make any necessary arrangements (e.g., memo for an operational meeting, etc.). Funds should not be used for purchasing equipment or software that is not in compliance with USGS policy. If funds are being used for equipment, include explicit justification for this in the budget justification (e.g., why is this expense in this proposal vs. programmatic funding).
Can these funds be combined with another government project, like those supported by NSF?
Yes. Please list funding from other projects as "in-kind" support in the budget.
Can funds be used for collaborations with non-governmental organizations or other federal agencies?
Yes. Funds can be used to work with external collaborators. Please see above.
Can contractor salaries be included?
Yes. Please describe the contractor in the Project Team and indicate the costs as a line item in the Other Direct Costs section of the budget. Every effort should be made to identify the contractor (name, expertise) BEFORE submitting the proposal so that the panel can understand the expertise of this team member.
Is there a limit on the number of proposals from different Mission Areas or Programs?
Will part of the 2022 Face-to-Face Meeting be open to non-RFP funded colleagues to attend?
Yes and we will share additional information on this through the Risk Community of Practice listserv and newsletter as we work on the agenda.
Are there any limitations on using funding for USGS salaries? For example, could funds be used to extend or supplement an existing term appointment (e.g., Mendenhall)?
Funding should not be requested for personnel who are already funded to do similar work through programmatic funds. Funding can be used to extend or supplement an existing term appointment in accordance with the terms and conditions of that appointment. Please list the person in the Project Team section of the proposal and indicate their salary cost as a line item in the Personnel section of the proposal budget. For Project Team member salaries included in the Personnel section of the budget, those staff or replacements need to charge salary directly to this project or their salary needs to be included as an "in-kind" contribution.

So, before you beat yourself up too bad about blowing your fresh start, consider making "New Day" resolutions. Here's how it works: you wake up each morning and choose to make it the best day you can. Start small and set one goal for each day. What do you want to accomplish? Are you trying to save money for something special? Here's a suggestion - instead of stopping for a cup of gourmet coffee on your way to work today, brew a cup at home and save the $$. Or, brown bag your lunch and skip the fast food drive-thru. Want to get more exercise but cringe at the thought of heading to the gym? Why not take a 15 minute walk on your lunch break just to stretch your legs and get some fresh air instead. Plan B doesn't have to be hard and flexibility is essential.
You could extend the goal as long as you want - five days, 10 days, maybe even a month. Before you know it, you are well on your way to achieving your goal. The beauty is you are tackling it one day at a time and therefore it seems less daunting.
Let's be honest, changes in habits, behaviors, attitudes, etc., need to happen year-round, not just in the month of January. And attitude is everything in determining if it will be a good day or not. What will you choose today? After all, it's February and the year is still young. Make the most of it.


The construction work on the Norochcholaya Coal Power Plant Phase II in the Puttalama District was inaugurated by President Mahinda Rajapaksa on 18th March. The contract was awarded to the China National Machinery & Equipment Import & Export Corporation (CMEC), a Chinese Government owned company.
The total capacity of the power plant (Phase I, II & III) will be 900 Mega Watts and each phase will generate 300 MW of electricity. Phase I of the project is scheduled to be completed by November this year and it will add 300MW to the national grid and also build a jetty for coal handling, a transmission line from Norochcholaya to Veyangoda and substation at Veyangoda. It was implemented under the Chinese Preferential Buyer's Credit loan of U$$ 300 million and a Buyer's Credit loan U$$ 155 million, a concessionary loan.
The main objective of the project is to cater the increasing demand for electricity and also to supply steady and low cost electricity to the national grid. According to the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) the Norochcholaya power plant is expected to be completed by 2013 and it will reduce electricity unit from Rs.11.00 to Rs.5.00 per unit.
However the government has already started to upgrade the Lakshapana, Ukuwela and other hydro power stations in the country and the Kerawalapitiya power plant also added 300MW to the national grid last week.
Representing Chinese Government, Ambassador of China for Sri Lanka Mrs Yang Xiuping was present at the ceremony. Ministers W.J.M. Senevirathne, Milroy Peiris, Niyomal Perera, Vice President of CMEC Mr. Hang Gang, Sri Lankan and Chinese engineers, higher officials of the Chinese Embassy and the Power & Energy Ministry also were present.
The amount of development being delivered by President Mahinda Rajapaksa is astounding. His development record overtakes the development records of all Prime Ministers and Presidents put together, since 1948.
The western imperialists and the UN led by Mr Bungi Moon and Mrs Naveena Pillai call President Mahinda Rajapaksa a war criminal. Our fellow citizen and the former presidential candidate, Rtd General Fonseka calls President Mahinda Rajapaksa a rogue president.
It is only the 5.8 million citizens of Sri Lanka who voted for President Mahinda Rajapaksa who have recognised his potential.
We should support President Mahinda Rajapaksa in his vision to create a monolithic society where there are no minorities. Als the President's wishes for a Medamulana Constitution should also come true.
I thank the japanese Govt for funding the Mannar Bridge. I hope they will continue to fund development in the North and East so that landless sinhala peasants from the South could be settled on the fertile lands in those areas. By doing this, Sri Lanka can deliver President Mahinda Rajapaksa's vision of a monolithic society where there are no minorities.


Is Mitragyna Javanica A Real Alternative To Kratom?
The legal uncertainty around the use of kratom has driven some users to experiment with the related plant Mitragyna Javanica. As a horticultural cousin to Mitragyna Speciosa extract, the tree from which all kratom products are made, the Javanica tree is more rare and remains unproven for broad modern use. Is this mystery plant as potent as traditional kratom and worth experimenting with? A comparison of chemistry, effects, and availability will be necessary. Here is what we know so far.
On the surface, the Mitragyna Javanica plant looks visually similar to the well-known Mitragyna Speciosa tree. Both are tall and sturdy, with abundant broad-faced leaves. But inside each leaf, there are dramatic differences.
We are still compiling hundreds of years of anecdotal reports with the latest scientific research into how kratom is structured and works. For now, we do know that it is rich in the naturally occurring alkaloid mitragynine. This compound is suspected to be responsible for many of kratom's health-enhancing, mood-lifting effects.
Javanica, on the other hand, does not contain this alkaloid. Instead, it has a related substance called mitrajavine. It contains the alkaloids of the C(9)-H closed E ring normal-pseudo sequence and some alkaloids in the C(9)-OCH 3 closed E ring normal-pseudo sequence. It also contains large amounts of 3-isoajmalicine, as opposed to the dominant alkaloid ajmalicine found in kratom. If this information sounds confusing, you're not alone. There have been almost no pharmacological reports prepared on this version of the Mitragyna plant, so very few people have been able to study its chemical composition and apply that info to subject areas that directly impact the common user.
The real questions on everyone's minds are, is it effective? And how do its benefits compare to those of kratom?
Are Mitragyna Javanica Effects Stronger or Weaker Than Kratom?
Unfortunately, this somewhat related plant has not been show to be as strong or effective as kratom. Again, use has not been widespread, so there are not many user reports to consult. But the reason it has not become more popular seems to be that its effects are considered far weaker than similar herbal remedies.
At comparable doses, Javanica produced less dramatic and noticeable stress relief and euphoria, was not as potent a pain killer, and did not seem to last nearly as long as traditional kratom. We do not know why. Many theorize that it is the exact combination of over 40 alkaloids in kratom that are able to produce its legendary effects. Altering the natural formula even by a few "ingredients" seems to drastically alter efficacy for the worse. And due to its lack of ajmalicine, thought responsible for kratom's ability to lower blood pressure and remove stress, Javanica cannot have the same relaxing properties.
Mitragyna Javanica is legal, and this is perhaps its main benefit to some users in Southeast Asia. As has been well-documented, the infamous Thailand kratom ban of 1943 imposed severe penalties against planting, selling, or consuming the kratom tree. While this law is impractical, and rarely enforced with the insanely disproportionate penalties that have been assigned to it (including the death penalty), it has still understandably inspired some users to look for alternatives. It is too bad for these users that a viable alternative does not seem to grow wild. However, for most people in the world, kratom remains 100% legal, safe, affordable, and accessible.
Given the proven efficacy and safety of kratom, legal in more than 90 percent of the nations on Earth, there is little reason to dabble in less effective plant remedies that attempt to achieve the same effects without much success.
You can easily find a broad range of kratom products at reputable online vendors, no matter what home country you hail from. Trusted and popular sites like Arena Ethnobotanicals and Bouncing Bear Botanicals provide consumers with the real thing – high quality kratom powders, extracts, and liquid tinctures straight from the source – the stunning and biodiverse jungles of Southeast Asia. With offices in the U.S., sites like these handle the hassle of importing and customs so you don't have to, often shipping on the same day. If high quality kratom was not available legally and quickly, we would be more inclined to recommend trying out a "cousin" herb like Mitragyna Javanica. As is, there is no reason to compromise benefits and strength on a less potent plant.

Botham Jean's Neighbor Joshua Brown Reportedly Shot And Killed
He was only 28 years old.
Tragic news to report. Joshua Brown, Botham Jean's neighbor who testified during the Amber Guyger murder trial, has reportedly been shot and killed. Lee Merritt, attorney for the Jean family, broke the news on social media.
READ MORE: Complaint Filed Against Judge Tammy Kemp For 'Unconstitutional' Behavior After Amber Guyger Sentencing
"Joshua Brown, the next door neighbor of #BothamJean was killed last night after being shot several times by an unknown assailant," Merritt wrote on Instagram on Saturday. "Local media has reported on the shooting but have not confirmed Brown's identity. Because, Brown worked closely with prosecutors just a week ago to ensure Amber Guyger was properly convicted in the murder trial, the DA's office has fairly direct contact with Brown and his family."
Joshua Brown was shot in his mouth & chest. He was exiting his car at his apt when he was ambushed & shot at close range. His mother asked my office to help find out who murdered her son. She suspects foul play. He had no known enemies. He worked for a living. We need answers. pic.twitter.com/k0KizSLMHi
— S. Lee Merritt, Esq. (@MeritLaw) October 5, 2019
Merritt confirmed Brown was killed but a suspect or motive is not known.
"The case is now in the hands of the Dallas Police Department… Brown deserves the same justice he sought to ensure the Jean family," Merritt wrote. "The Dallas County criminal justice system must mobilized [sic] to identify his killer and see that he is held accountable for this murder."
Joshua Brown, the next door neighbor of #BothamJean was killed last night after being shot several times by an unknown assailant. Local media has reported on the shooting but have not confirmed Brown's identity. Because, Brown worked closely with prosecutors just a week ago to ensure Amber Guyger was properly convicted in the murder trial, the DA's office has fairly direct contact with Brown and his family. An ADA has confirmed that it was in fact Brown who was killed although they have yet to identify a suspect or motive for the shooting. The case is now in the hands of the Dallas Police Department. Brown's testimony stood out as a fact witness who was approaching his apartment directly across from Botham Jean's apartment when shots rang out. Brown was still visibly shaken up from the incident when he took the stand to testify on behalf of the prosecution. His murder underscores the reality of the black experience in America. A former athlete turned entrepreneur— Brown lived in constant fear that he could be the next victim of gun violence, either state sanctioned or otherwise. We have more work to do deal with the constant threats to our community both from within and without. Brown deserves the same justice he sought to ensure the Jean family. The Dallas County criminal justice system must mobilized to identify his killer and see that he is held accountable for this murder.
A post shared by S. Lee Merritt, Esquire (@leemerrittesq) on Oct 5, 2019 at 1:25pm PDT
Brown, who said he lived directly across the hall from Jean, testified that the two never formally met but said he could always hear Jean singing. That seemed to be an indication of the acoustics in the apartment building. Brown, like the other neighbors who testified, claimed he never heard any verbal commands being given before he heard the gun shots fired that killed Jean. Brown delivered an unforgettable and emotional testimony. Watch below.
"Joshua Brown, a neighbor of Botham Jean's and Guyger at the South Side Flats apartments, was slain about 10:30 p.m. in the 4600 block of Cedar Springs Road," Dallas News also reported.
He was reportedly 28 years old.
Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by this tragedy.

The Real Reason Farrah Abraham From 'Teen Mom' Might Be Getting Sued
by Lauren Weiler linkedin | More Articles: TV
She may not be on Teen Mom OG anymore, but Farrah Abraham is still one of the most polarizing TV personalities ever. We remember watching her grow up and have her daughter, Sophia, on MTV's 16 and Pregnant. Then, on Teen Mom, viewers got an even closer look into Farrah's tumultuous relationship with her parents and co-stars. Now, nearly a decade since she first appeared on TV later, we're still hearing about what Farrah's up to next — and this time, the drama's surrounding her celebrity boxing match she was supposed to have with Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander, a reality star you may remember from Flavor of Love.
We know Farrah didn't go through with the match, but the boxing organizers still aren't happy with how she bailed. Here's why they've threatened to sue.
Farrah pulled out of the celebrity boxing match that was set to happen in November 2018 at the last minute

For anyone who keeps track of Farrah's Instagram, it's no secret that she was training for a boxing match. And Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander, who, at one point, dated Public Enemy's Flavor Flav after winning the reality love series, Flavor of Love, was going to be her opponent. Judging from Hoopz's Instagram, she was taking the match seriously and was prepared to take Farrah down in a fair fight, too. The match was also for a good cause, as it was to raise awareness against bullying.
Sadly, fans of both Hoopz and Farrah never got to see the long-awaited fight, as Farrah pulled out with just weeks to go before the match, VH1 reports. Farrah claimed the promoters failed to fulfill their contractual promises. "[Promoters] Damon Feldman and Michael Mak didn't deliver on their part. No flights, hotels, no coach flights, family that they agreed contractually," she told Us Weekly.
Farrah wanted the event promoters to sign a contract stating the fight would be rigged in her favor

The match took place without Farrah, but she's not out of hot water yet for her lack of attendance. Daily Mail Online reports one of the reasons Farrah pulled out of the match was because the event promoters would not sign a contract stating they would rig the fight so she would win. Paperwork drafted by Farrah's lawyer stated, "The parties also agree that Farrah will 'win' this fight, and should Farrah 'lose' it's construed as a material breach of contract."
That's not all Farrah demanded, either. She also wanted $5,000 in addition to half of all ticket sales, internet sales, TV licensing, and sponsorships, and she requested that every expense including airfare, hotel, meals, and ground transportation for the match be paid for as well.
Match promoter Damon Feldman is now threatening to sue

Damon Feldman, the match promoter, is furious at Farrah for her unreasonable demands and then absence from the fight. In an interview with Daily Mail Online, he said, "We paid for all her appearances at fitness clubs, pretending like she was training for a fight. She's a complete absolute fraud. She didn't perform in the match. She let me, Hoopz, and the public down."
Feldman also added that everything seemed good with Farrah up until two weeks before the match — and that's when her requests became impossible. He notes she started asking for 36 rooms and six first-class flights. "I told her simply, 'you're not a star. You're a personality. You guys came to me, I'm giving you a chance to get back in the spotlight," Damon added. But even with additional flights and hotel rooms, he states she wouldn't do the fight because they couldn't guarantee she would win.
"I'm suing her," Damon said. "I'm going after her because she slandered my name with all these lies." He did note he won't sue if she goes through with a celebrity boxing match against Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry, however. Kailyn seems willing to go for it, so we'll have to see if Farrah will also commit.

The Boston Tea Party: Costume Optional?
Poem honoring the Boston Tea Party, Dec. 1773.
In an 1884 article reprint of an earlier newspaper story about the Boston Tea Party, an editor at The Bay State Monthly remarked, "This account of the Boston Tea-Party … taken, verbatim, from The Boston Evening Post, Monday, December 20, 1773 … adds another link in the chain of evidence to prove that the Patriots were disguised as Indians." Why did the editor feel there needed to be a "chain of evidence" about that point? Was there ever any doubt that the Patriots were disguised as Indians? What really happened at the Boston Tea Party? What sources can help us find out?
What really happened at the Boston Tea Party? How can we "know" what happened at an historical event of the distant past?
Retell the events of the Boston Tea Party.
List some types of sources historians use to reconstruct what happened in the past.
Review the lesson plan. Locate and bookmark suggested materials and other useful websites. Download and print out selected documents and duplicate copies as necessary for student viewing.
For background information, consult the following EDSITEment resources:
Samuel Adams, on the White House website, a link from The American President.
An Outline of American History (1994), Chapter Three: Boston "Tea Party", on From Revolution to Reconstruction, a link from History Matters. (NOTE: The section on the Tea Party begins on page 6 and continues through Page 8. Click on "Next Page" or "Previous Page" to navigate as desired.)
America During the Age of Revolution, 1764-1775, a timeline available on American Memory.
Tax History Project, a comprehensive article on the events leading up to and following the Boston Tea Party, with an emphasis on taxes, available via a link from History Matters.
Activity 1. First-hand accounts of the Boston Tea Party
Introduce students to the quote from The Bay State Monthly and brief discussion about it included in the Introduction. Discuss with students the ways we can know what happened more than 200 years ago. Create a list on chart paper or the blackboard of what the students already know about the Boston Tea Party, including the reasons behind the protest.
Next, break the class into small groups with each assigned to read and analyze one of the following first-hand accounts of the Boston Tea Party. (NOTE: Another option would be for each group to read and respond to more than one-or all-of the accounts.) Download, copy and distribute a set of Questions about the accounts, available here as a PDF document, and have students answer as many of the questions as possible. Let students know that not all questions will relate to all accounts, and they should answer only those questions relevant to their account.
"The Boston Tea-Party" (The Bay State Monthly. Volume 1, Issue 4. April, 1884.), available via a link from the EDSITEment-reviewed website American Memory. The article starts near the top of page 261 and continues on the succeeding two pages; use "Next Page" and "Previous Page" to navigate as desired. (NOTE: This account, taken verbatim from the December 20, 1773, article in the Boston Evening Post, is the lengthiest and most difficult of all the first-hand accounts cited here. Assign it accordingly or not at all if there is no appropriate group.)
Camps and Firesides of the Revolution. Hart, Albert Bushnell with Mabel Hill: "The Boston Tea Party from the MASSACHUSETTS GAZETTE (1773)", available via a link from the EDSITEment resource Internet Public Library.Though this brief account is told in straightforward language, help your students understand the meanings of these words, as used in the document:
Repaired: went
Stove: broke
Purloined: stolen
Camps and Firesides of the Revolution. Hart, Albert Bushnell with Mabel Hill: "Another Account of the Tea Party BY JOHN ANDREWS (1773)", also available via a link from Internet Public Library. The account runs from page 164 to page 166 (use the "find" feature in your browser to locate page 164). In the original document, page 165 had an illustration; as the illustration is not present online, the page is blank. This brief account is told in straightforward language, but make sure your students understand that the word "actors," as used here, refers to those taking action, rather than to thespians.
"A Shoemaker and the Tea Party" by George Robert Twelve Hewes, on the EDSITEment resource History Matters. This account, more detailed and somewhat more difficult to read than the previous two, is quite colorful.
Broadside: Boston, December 20, on Tuesday last, from American Memory. In this modern typeset version, read only the section for December 20. Also available is a digitized copy of the original.
Activity 2. Sources historians use to reconstruct what happened
After the groups have completed their work, discuss the different types of resources used-newspaper accounts, broadsides written for publicity purposes, reminiscences, letters, and so on. In what way would each of the accounts tend to be biased or limited in its ability to tell the whole story? Could an author's point of view explain any information lacking or even exaggerated? For example, why would certain documents written at the time of the Boston Tea Party avoid including participants' names?
Have students share the answers they gave to the questions. Use the Boston Tea Party Fact Chart, available here as a PDF document, to make a list of (1) facts that all of the accounts had in common, (2) facts that appeared in only some accounts but that were not contradicted in others, and (3) facts that were contradicted among the various accounts.
Now have students read a secondary account of the Boston Tea Party, such as the essay The Boston Tea Party, available via a link from the EDSITEment-reviewed website History Matters. Either individually or as a class, answer the same questions previously answered for the first-hand accounts. What facts in this article, if any, are contradicted by one or more of the first-hand accounts? Do the students agree that the version in this secondary account is as accurate as possible, given any contradictions and the passage of time, or would the students make some changes? Can we say with confidence that the story of the Boston Tea Party we tell today is accurate?
Activity 3. Getting get an accurate idea of what happened two centuries ago
Students are now ready to work in their groups to create a newspaper article, letter, broadside, or factual report of their own featuring the facts they believe to be the correct story of the Boston Tea Party.
To conclude, go back briefly to the chart of what students "knew" about the Boston Tea Party at the beginning of the lesson. How did their knowledge compare with the first- and second-hand accounts studied in this lesson? Would their list be different now? The class has done some real research using primary sources. Do the students now believe it is or is not possible to get an accurate idea of what happened two centuries ago?
Students interested in learning more about the events leading up to the Boston Tea Party can start with these EDSITEment resources:
The complete text of The Tea Act, available via a link from History Matters.
Students can analyze political cartoons from the years of protest that preceded the Revolutionary War, such as these from the Tax History Project, a link from the EDSITEment-reviewed website History Matters. If desired, use the Cartoon Analysis Form available on the EDSITEment resource National Archives Educator Resources.
The Repeal or the Funeral Procession of Miss Americ-Stamp: A satiric cartoon commemorating repeal of the Stamp Act, c. 1766
The Bostonians paying the excise-man or tarring & feathering, 1774
Cartoon depicting the rough treatment of a barber's customer once his identity as a British officer was revealed, 1775
An allegorical depiction of the Coercive Acts, specifically the closing of Boston Harbor by the British (by Paul Revere)
Students can read the following poems about the Boston Tea Party, written during the 19th century. How accurate are the accounts? What attitudes about our nation's formative years do they express?
The Boston Tea Party by Ralph Waldo Emerson, available on the EDSITEment resource The American Verse Project.
"A Ballad of the Boston Tea-Party" by Oliver Wendell Holmes, available via a link from the EDSITEment-reviewed website American Memory, starting on page 219 of The Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 33, Issue 196, February 1874, and continuing with pages 220 and 221.
Students can also read more by and about Ralph Waldo Emerson, who coined the phrase "The shot heard 'round the world," and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. A Biography of Emerson and Biography of Holmes are available on From Revolution to Reconstruction, a link from the EDSITEment resource History Matters.
The Boston Tea Party was a grand example of street theater protest, something we often associate now with the 1960s. For more about that era of protest, look at the online exhibit The Psychedelic Sixties: Literary Tradition and Social Change from the Special Collections Department of the University of Virginia Library, available through a link from the EDSITEment-reviewed website Center for the Liberal Arts. Students can expand their knowledge of the protest movements of the sixties by interviewing eyewitnesses. They can also conduct a poll about attitudes today toward those protests of the past. Students can conclude their study by making comparisons between the two eras of protests.

After 8 months, political prisoner released
Janess Ann J. Ellao June 11, 2019 hedda calderon
Gabriela secretary general Joms Salvador and Hedda Calderon (Photo grabbed from Salvador's Facebook post)
MANILA – A women's group has welcomed the temporary release of Hedda Calderon, a political prisoner who had spent at least eight months in detention for trumped-up charges, following the decision of a Laguna court to grant her bail plea.
Calderon, a human rights defender and licensed social worker, was among those arrested at gunpoint along with peace consultant Adelberto Silva after a consultation in October 2018. Women's group Gabriela said the consultation was a part of the continuous effort among progressives to build peace based on justice "even after the government of Duterte had unilaterally suspended the peace talks."
The Free our Sisters Free Ourselves campaign said Calderon and the four other arrested activists were told to drop face down in the scorching heat of the sun for two hours while the combined forces of police and military "searched" their vehicles and allegedly found firearms and explosives, which served as basis for the charges against them.
"Her fervor to serve the people has never faltered despite some limitations in her physical mobility. Yet, the government sees this fervor as a threat to its national security," said the Free our Sisters Free Ourselves campaign in a Facebook post earlier this year.
Gabriela said that Calderon's case has become a "norm" these days, following the vilification of leaders and members of progressive organizations, and those who are active in criticizing and exposing the corruption in the country.
The women's group called for the release of all political prisoners languishing in jail.

Back in July 2018, Bit Kid launched Chasm, an indie adventure that throws players into their first mission on behalf of the Guildean Kingdom. Now, you can crawl into this adventure again when it launches on Nintendo Switch.
Around 5 years ago, Chasm hit Kickstarter and launched this indie outing on PC, PlayStation 4, and PSVita earlier this year. You can check out our review here. Now, after the team dropped a teaser on Twitter, we can confirm Chasm is coming to Nintendo Switch and Pax.
Chasm explores the depths below a remote mountain town, challenging you to hack & slash your way through a whole host of pixel art enemies. Taking inspiration from games like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and Mega Man, this indie outing is an unusual mix of procedural systems and dungeon crawler antics. Capable of using procedural systems to create a brand new map for each adventure, Chasm is a clear homage to past classics that sets out to be relevant to a new generation of consoles.
Before you do set out on your daily commute with Chasm, you might want to try it out at Pax. While even the bravest of us can falter when faced with convention season, we have a map to all the best spots and Chasm will be available to try on Nintendo's mobile powerhouse at booth 6917. While we do not have a release date yet, maybe you can wrangle it out of the team at Pax.
Keep an eye out on the official website for more information soon.

Verse 9. - Was drawn. Or, extended. The fountain of the waters of Nephtoah. If these be identified with En Etam, as is done by the Rabbis (whom Conder follows), and if we suppose it to have supplied Jerusalem with water by the aqueduct which ran from a point southwest of Betlehem to Jerusalem, we must place it south of Bethlehem, and imagine that the border ran directly south here. Far more probable is the notion of Vandevelde, which places it northwest of Jerusalem, at Ain Lifta. Conder's view is dominated by the situation he has assigned to Kirjath-jearim (see note on Joshua 9:17). If the view there given in these notes is sound, the border now ran in a northwesterly direction from Jerusalem to within five miles of Gibeon (see also note on Joshua 18:14). Kirjath-jearim. See Joshua 9:17. To the authorities mentioned there in favour of Kuriet el Enab we may add Knobel, Ritter, and Tristram, in his last book, 'Bible Lands.' The view taken above corresponds to the minuteness of detail with which the boundary is given. To place Nephtoah south of Bethlehem and Kirjath-jearim at 'Arma would make the boundary far less distinct.
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
15:1-12 Joshua allotted to Judah, Ephraim, and the half of Manasseh, their inheritances before they left Gilgal. Afterwards removing to Shiloh, another survey was made, and the other tribes had their portion assigned. In due time all God's people are settled.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
And the border was drawn from the top of the hill,.... Mount Moriah, and went round in a circuit, so Jarchi and Kimchi:
unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah; which lay at the bottom of it; which, according to the Jewish writers, is the same with the fountain of Etam, from whence a stream flowed to the dipping room in the water gate of the temple, where the high priest for the first time dipped himself on the day of atonement (p):
and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; Jerom (q) speaks of an Ephron in the tribe of Judah, which was a very large village in his time, and went by the name of Ephraea, and was twenty miles from Aelia or Jerusalem to the north; and which Eusebius better places eight miles from it; and Jarchi observes, that the line went to the north side, and the border enlarged to this place; near to this mountain were cities, and it is not improbable that one of them might have its name from it; but whether this, or what mountain is here meant, is uncertain: some have thought of Ephraim, with its towns, mentioned in 2 Chronicles 13:19; which seems to have been in the tribe of Ephraim; though Reland (r) places it in the tribe of Benjamin:
and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjathjearim; called Kirjathbaal, or the city of Baal, Joshua 15:60; where it is probable there was a temple of Baal; and when it came into the hands of the Israelites, they changed its name to Kirjathjearim, or the city of the woods, because of the great number of trees which grew about it; for which reason it might have been pitched upon by the Heathens for their idolatrous service; it was one of the cities of the Gibeonites, Joshua 9:17; and, according to Eusebius and Jerom (s), it was nine or ten miles from Jerusalem, as you go to Lydda; it is also called Baalah in 1 Chronicles 13:6; and Baale of Judah, 2 Samuel 6:2.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo Release Date Is Still an Unknown Quantity
Gamespot retracts statement
by Liam Croft Thu 9th Jan 2020
Update: It looks like this was a goof-up from Gamespot, as the 3rd March 2019 release for Final Fantasy VII Remake's demo has now been pulled. The article now simply states that the demo's launch date is unknown -- the error marked down as an "incorrect assumption" by one of the site's editors. Therefore, the search for a demo release date continues.
This was an incorrect assumption by one of our editors. The piece has been updated to reflect that.— Tamoor Hussain (@tamoorh) January 9, 2020
Original story:This Final Fantasy VII Remake demo has been handled so bizarrely, hasn't it? Word of the pre-release appetizer got out on Christmas Day last year and we are still none the wiser as to when it'll actually release on the PlayStation Store two weeks later. Dataminers have already uncovered major spoilers by cracking their way into the demo, but now it looks like we might not actually even get to experience it prior to the full game's launch.
In a newly published Final Fantasy VII Remake FAQ, Gamespot says: "A Final Fantasy VII Remake demo is scheduled for March 3 on PS4." This is, of course, the same day that the game actually releases. Where the website got this information from we simply don't know so we most certainly wouldn't take this as confirmation, but it is interesting that Gamespot has made the claim in the first place.
We don't think it makes a lot of sense -- why would you hold back a demo and launch it on the same day that the full game is available? Sure, those interested could buy the title straight away, but we just can't work out why Square Enix would uploads files of the demo to the PSN Store so early if this truly is the plan. Something isn't adding up here, but then the situation surrounding this demo isn't exactly normal in the first place.
Do you think we'll get the chance to play Final Fantasy VII Remake's demo before launch or will we be made to wait? Make your prediction in the comments below.
[via gamespot.com]
Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4)
That's just idiotic, it'd be a bit weird to do that if we didn't know it exists but given that so many have been able to actually play the thing it makes absolutely no sense to hold it back until then
Oh really? That's fine for me to be honest. I wouldn't be able to say no to a demo, but generally I prefer not to have them for games I am going to be getting anyway since it just means replaying sections (or waiting ages to pick up where I left off).
@carlos82 Not sure how it's idiotic to be honest, it means people can play it on release day and if they like it buy it on release day or soon after. Traditionally demos were for games that were already released anyway. (Of course, it could be a mistake and they may be releasing it before launch, either way works!)
@carlos82 yeah we can't get demo for Resident Evil 3 either
@kyleforrester87 if we didn't know about it I'd agree but we all know it exists and there is so much footage and information about it, to me it makes little sense to continue to hold it back. Not to mention they themselves released the FFXV demo pretty early
Sounds like a cock-up on GameSpot's behalf to me. Can't see why Square would do this.
@carlos82 Yeah and I would argue that was a mistake since it was very poor and went some way toward me reconsidering getting the main game.
I firmly believe that demos can do more harm than good to the sale of a game.
I think the Medievil demo is one of the reasons it didn't do very well.
Personally speaking, the only 2 demos that ever got me really hyped about a game due to be released were for MGS2 and Nier Automata!
GamingFan4Lyf
If true, this is sad as I was hoping to play some of it early - because I can't wait for this! I plan to buy on Day 1 - no questions asked, backlog be damned!
If not true, then release it soon darn it!
Part of me doesn't believe GameSpot on the demo's release date.
The full game? Isn't this just the first episode?
andreoni79
Fans will buy it on Day One anyway, while the undecided ones will choose after trying it.
Releasing the demo on day one, they won't spoil anything for the fans.
Translation problems having been a pro evo fan in the iss daze translation is an issue..............What is going on here is the demo is out on the 3rd of March and Part 1 of FF7 remake will be out when the P.S.5 launches..................Remember Square Enix is never a smooth ride.
That's weird. It basically means anyone convinced by the demo can't get it at launch. It should've been at least 2 weeks before. Man, I've already preordered but I was really looking forward to the demo.
While I want to play the demo as much as anyone, I think this is actually a good idea. Look forward to finally playing ff7 to see what all the fuss is about!
@Matroska why wouldn't they be able to get it at launch? Can be downloaded instantly from ps store on launch day if one enjoys the demo or worst case pickup the same/next day from a store.
FullbringIchigo
@carlos82 it's probably because of the hackers and data miners
just Square saying, "you spoiled things already so now you can have it when the games out, no preview for you"
invictus4000
I would hate that sooooo much. But I mean, it's a fitting punishment for how badly fans raped the demo data.
rjejr
@ShogunRok Maybe Gamespot expected "this" demo to be out already and they mean a 2nd demo? I'm pretty sure I've played some Squenix games w/ 2 demos before, 1 really early and 1 when the game released. Other games as well.
I'm fine w/ the demo the same day as the game. Since the game is only the first part of the whole FF7 game I can just play the demo FOR FREE while you all pay $60 for this part of the FF7 Remake, then buy this part of the game when it's on sale for $10 Black Friday if I still feel the need too. Or just wait for part 2. Or the Complete game on PS5 in 7 or 8 years.
As far as demos - I used to be a big fan of demos and thought all games should have them weeks before the full games released. That was in the dark ages though of getting game demo discs in magazines b/c consoles didn't have internet. Now, w/ games on social media 2 to 3 years before they are even released, we all know a TON about games before even playing them. And with pre-orders people are paying full price for a game sometimes months before they can even play it. So an early demo is just going to scare away the pre-payers. So while I do still like demos, I think it's better if demos release 2 weeks after a game releases so all the early adopters have already paid and a company is just trying to reel in some more stragglers before the game goes on sale for 50% off or winds in a subscription service.
And lets face it, these days some games are practically demos when you buy them. No Man's Sky is so different now then when it released. Would a 2 week early demo have mattered? And some games are so broken, like WWE 2020, that a demo, unless they got it running much better than the game, would cost them a lot of sales. Why have a demo when you can have people pay for "early access" and spread the word on social media?
So I still like my demos, and the idea of demos, but 2, 3 weeks, maybe a month after a games release, but they really don't have a place anymore.
Part 1 of who knows how many getting a demo for a 22 year old game seems unnecessary all around. I really can't be the only person thinking - I'll just play the demo now, pay to play the rest of the game later for a much cheaper price. Maybe on PS5 w/ NO LOAD TIMES and full 4k graphics.
@rjejr buy that man a beer. me and my mates practically destroyed my Formula 1 Brazil 3 lap demo bak in the day.
KrazyK85
Just a little over two months away anyway, so it doesn't much matter to me. I can hang on until the game itself is released.
Sort of relieved if this turns out to be true. Didn't want the temptation of a demo to begin with this close to release.
Abelfei
@PcTV Both are correct, it is the first episode, and in fact a full game. Have you not done your homework lately?
@Abelfei Those two things are at odds with each other.
@PcTV I don't believe they are. It's SE decision, no one elses. They created everything, they get to decided what it is, no one else. This is a full game, with a full games worth of content, and a reminagining of a classic tale. It is episodic, and they all will be "full" games. When Hironobou Sakaguchi, Yoshinori Kitase or Yoshitaka Amano say it isn't a full game, then I will listen until then, PcTV has no bearing on SE's creation, and neither does anyone else.
@Abelfei @PcTV and there is the issue, everyone thinks it's an episodic game but it isn't, this is PART 1 not Episode 1 and many other games have been released in parts, Mass Effect, Darksiders and heck even FFXIII and they were all full games
one interview was mistranslated and now everyone thinks this is going to a game like a TellTale game but it's a full length 40-60 hour game and is NOT an episodic game
@Abelfei I can literally buy the original FFVII right now and get the full game rather than getting a fraction for 60 dollars.
@FullbringIchigo Those examples are kinda perfect, none of them fully delivered what was promised.
@PcTV true but the point still stands they were all full games but were still only part of the overall story
@pcTV this remake is going to be more than the original. Meaning it will be bigger, deeper, more layered, more nuanced, more intricate etc. You cannot play the original and say you got the whole thing in comparsion to the remake. Do your research, this isn't a one for one remake, it is a remake/retelling. You go ahead and play the PS1 version when it comes out, thats fine, but the rest of us have done that dozens of times already, and we are excited about a new retelling.
@PcTV I thought Mass Effect delivered 100%.
@Number09 If you read through all of that I should buy you a beer.
Uromastryx
Stupid, oh let's release demo on release day, sure it helps decide but what if fans want to decide they dont want it?
And after all of the crap surrounding this demo between leaks and what not why dont Square just give it up and release it to the public its clearly ready.
What annoys me more it's such a cash grab, am I expected to pay full price every part release so this game costing me like what like 200euro/dollars or whatever for 1 game
Rob_230
Wouldn't surprise me. The demo apparently has a large file size, so wouldn't be surprised if you are effectively downloading the full game, similar to demos like Yakuza etc.
I guess Square are worried about the code being hacked/ scrutinised before release. I mean they've done a great job keeping it secret to date....
1_W1NG3D_4NG3L
I get the feeling that SquareEnix had all intentions of releasing this before part one (i refuse to use episode) however with the hackers ruining not just the demo but part 1 in its entirety they kind of thought....you know what no. Stuff your demo ya'll can wait
@Uromastryx you know you could just not buy it if you dont agree with the decision to split over multiple parts! Then they make no cash from you.
Update just release it Square .
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Sure that's an option but the original was one of my faves back in the day , but you are fine with the multiple parts, you do not think it's a crappy practice ? Just a general question by the way I'm not arguing.
I dont want this to become the norm in a few years that all games come multiple parts, "so we the consumer can have more--quicker"
@FullbringIchigo Longer doesn't equal full game
@Abelfei I've played FF7 a couple times myself.
On that note, the Switch port is about perfect in terms of upgrades and the benefit of portability.
You got the full FF7 in FF7. You be won't with this.
If it wastes your time like XIII and its two sequels did with all the stupid sideplots and going on and on, it'll be longer, yes. But a worse game.
I think sites should just wait till they announce something and stop spreading rumors to begin with. All these worthless rumor posts and leak spreading just makes it worse.
@PcTV why would you just assume the worst? Most people are pretty positive about the upcoming release, and if you don't like it, just keep playing the original, it's not like they are taking it away. But judging something before it even comes out just shows how irrelevant your opinion is.
@Abelfei Ah, irrelevant. I don't know if you realise what that means. If you did, you'd realise yours is just as irrelevant as any other. I took this was more for the sake of discussing videogames.
And don't worry about my money, I'll probably try this remake 5 years from now when it's finally done and on some sale.
Looks like I'll be forced to play the demo before the main game then 😂
@PcTV No. My points are in fact relevant, cause I havent passed negative judgment on something that isnt released for another 2-3 months. This is black and white, and you are not smart. In fact, you are the antithesis of smart.
@Uromastryx personally i am ok with it, with some caveats. Some of which i guess wont be answered until the last game comes out! As long as each Part feels like a fully fledged game, ie a decent length with a satisfying ending to each part, and each one has worthwile content to justify the need to split it. I mean a game the size and scope of final fantasy 7 done with todays capabilities has to be a large undertaking. And lengthy one. Square Enix have often been ridiculed by the length of time they take with games. By releasing in parts it enables them to take their time with the project whilst giving us something to play. Plus if someone had said to me, you can have a retelling of final fantasy 7 with todays capabilities, whilst adding in meaningful content (TBC) but only if you pay £125/£150. Would i take it. I would have said yes. Maybe im just a sucker HaHa
I remember when people got excited about games, instead of passing judgement on them because they saw a 5 minute trailer 3 years before the game came out. How about wait for it to come out....maybe play it first? It may be great, it may be bad, no one knows.....until you play it.......
@Number09 This makes zero sense, not sure who liked this and why.
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Why do refuse using the word episode, you're not that cool. It's an episode, part whatever its called, it's all the same, quit clinging to your rose colored glasses from 1998 and get over yourself, you didnt make the game, SE did.
@Abelfei Positivity can be, evidently, pretty irrelevant too.
Ah yes, smart people are known to resort to name calling when they don't know what else to say.
Carry on, enjoy your (at least) $180 game.
@Abelfei you are a very angry person. You seem to be picking fights with everyone on this thread. Dial it back a bit dude. I refuse to call it an episode as like many others, i believe this makes it sound telltale game like. Like a single episode is not a game within its own right. Its just the choice of word they are using i take issue with not the practice. As you will see from my other posts. In actual fact i agree with your sentiments. I wish people would wait until the game before passing judgement. I am stoked for this game. Cant wait. And i also have no issue with them breaking it down into parts. So chill bro
Arnna
@Playstation5 capcom almost always release demos or betas of their big games.
RE7, re2, monster hunter, devil may cry 5.
Don't stress!
@Abelfei umm. What is your point? Demos and Betas allow folks who aren't sure about purchasing a game, to have a go.
Also benefits gamers who are not old and experienced, to choose titles which best fit their needs.
I don't use demos or betas because I am patient and I know what games I like.
But not everyone is like me.
@Arnna yes I agree with you. I was talking about all the people complaining about the game being "split" or saying it is "not the true FFVII" etc. etc. Demos and Betas are a good thing. Alot of people judging the game before its out. If they wanna judge the game when it omes out or when they play the demo, by all means, thats fair.
@KrazyK85 I would also prefer the site didn't report on rumours.
Grindagger
Fri 10th Jan 2020
@Arnna I think it's fine for sites to report on rumours, so long as they're marked as rumours, and not solid facts. To ensure the reader knows whether it's article they want to bother themselves with, or not.
I sure hope it comes out sooner rather than later. I've been purposefully avoiding the leaks, which it would appear are not appearing at every point available on social media (thankfully), and continue to be tucked away in the recesses of the groups that simply cannot wait to find out.
@Arnna yeah Capcom haven't announce any news abotu RE 3 Demo yet

LNG Limited to exit the Fisherman's Landing LNG project
LNG Industry, Wednesday, 07 June 2017 10:15
LNG Limited has announced that it has decided to no longer fund the costs associated with maintaining the Fisherman's Landing LNG Project at the Port of Gladstone in Queensland, Australia, and to exit the project.
LNG Limited claims that this follows a review of the company's asset portfolio. The company is completing efforts to relinquish the site to Gladstone Ports Corp. and notify other relevant regulators. LNG Limited claims that these actions are not expected to have a material impact on its current cash management plan.
The Managing Director and CEO of LNG Limited, Greg Vesey, said: "The closure of the Fisherman's Landing LNG Project was not an easy decision by the company. However, after many years without success in securing the long-term economic gas supply that would be needed to proceed with project construction, we made a strategic decision to close the project.
"We are grateful to the GPC and the Queensland Government for their support of the FLLNG Project over the last several years."

Angels of Death on the Playism Store | Bringing a different breed of indie game to the world.
"Please, kill me." "If you get out with me, then I'll kill you."
Their strange "promise" formed a peculiar bond between the two of them. What kind of hell have they found themselves in? For what purpose are they imprisoned? What does fate have in store for them?

"If you get out with me, then I'll kill you."
Their strange "promise" formed a peculiar bond between the two of them.
What kind of hell have they found themselves in?
For what purpose are they imprisoned? What does fate have in store for them?
Facing imminent death, the two begin their escape from the sealed building!
From the creator of the famous horror game Kirisame ga furu mori (Forest of Drizzling Rain), comes "Angels of Death" which was released in the Den-fami Nico Game Magazine and is now available worldwide!
"Angels of Death" is a psycho horror adventure game, which consists of four episodes.
The Japanese version was published as free software, and the Steam version is to support the developers.
Some material may be inappropriate for children.
A variety of missions, including "shooting" and "escape" themes.
When Ray woke, she was in a concrete room with no memory. After leaving the room, she explored the building, searching for an exit. But she eventually crossed paths with Zack, a large man with a scythe.
Ray and Zack step into floor B3 – a contemporary floor with dazzling white walls. A bizarre woman's howling cackle rang out from a speaker in the ceiling.
"Oh godless wretches. You shall writhe in agony until forgiven."
The insane prison guard makes an attempt to expose the weakness in Ray and Zack's promise by putting them through a series of sadistic tortures.
Will they remain faithful to their promise as they fight for their lives?
Dragging an unconscious Zack, Ray finds herself on floor B2, which has the interior of a cathedral.
The sound of a pipe organ echoed around the floor, along with a curious, sweet fragrance which permeated the air.
Strange writing emerged on the walls, demanding that Ray repent for her sins.
Ray and Zack arrive on B1 only to find themselves inside a house. Upon entering the bloodstained living room, Ray lost her mind.
"Please, Zack, hurry and kill me! Before you know too much!"
Confused by Ray's outburst, Zack left the now fainted Ray to lie down.
After hearing repeated knocking on the door, Zack left to explore the house.
While avoiding countless traps set in the strange house, Zack learnt more about Ray's past.
But was he prepared for what awaited him at the end?
Could they protect their promise and escape from the building alive?
This game is made by RPG Maker, so the engine's exclusive feature is available as shown below.

Sibos London to be Opened by LSE's Minouche Shafik
by The Fintech Times July 8, 2019 July 2, 2019
Director of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England confirmed as the opening speaker at Sibos 2019.
Dame Minouche Shafik, Director of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), will deliver the opening plenary at Sibos 2019 as the event comes to London for the first time.
During her extensive career, Minouche Shafik has worked in senior positions at the World Bank, the IMF and the UK's Department for International Development, before becoming Deputy Governor of the Bank of England in 2014. In this role, she was responsible for a balance sheet of over £475 billion, sat on all of the Bank's major policy committees and led the Fair and Effective Markets Review. She was appointed Director of LSE in September 2017.
An economist by training, with a career spanning the worlds of public policy and academia, Shafik currently serves as a trustee of the British Museum and is Honorary Fellow of St. Antony's College Oxford and a member of the Council of the Institute for Fiscal Studies. She was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire in the Queen's New Year's Honours list in 2015.
Having conducted extensive research on the determinants of investment, the environment, economic growth and globalisation, Shafik is ideally placed to open a Sibos conference focused on the central theme of 'Thriving in a hyper-connected world'.
Chantal Van Es, Head of Sibos at SWIFT, said: "We're excited Dame Shafik will take the stage at the Opening plenary this year to welcome the financial community to a much anticipated edition of Sibos in London.
"We can expect to hear valuable insights into the forces impacting our industry including the changing competitive landscape, unpredictable geo-political pressures, and increasing regulation and technological change."
