Some years ago, at an "all hands" meeting at a company where I worked, the head of the company enthused at length about Jack Welch's famous ruthlessness. At the time I said to various people that if I wanted to work for General Electric then I knew where to find them. I wasn't joking: GE have an office in easy walking distance of my house. However, I never set foot in there until last night, when I attended a talk by Richard Berry—part of their series of "agile talks".
I've seen some disappointment expressed about the content of the talk. Surely this is all rather old hat: no-one now believes that command-and-control is a sensible way to organize a software development team. I'd have two responses to that, the first of which is that overt command-and-control may be rare but that the common alternative—insisting that people "take ownership" without giving them any meaningful control isn't really the same thing as facilitation.
My other response would be that even if the broad outline of Richard's talk didn't hold any surprises, it's possible to do this sort of thing badly or well, and Richard did it well. The last presentation I saw that covered this rough area was given by some ex-marketing guy who seemed to speak largely in clichés taken from trashy pop psychology books ("don't sweat the small stuff", "change is the only constant", etc.). Regardless of the big picture being peddled, there were telling little details in Richard's talk that, for me, showed that he knew what he was talking about. This wasn't an occasion for buzzword bingo.
However, the talk didn't simply slate command-and-control mentalities as being worthless relics from a bygone era. For me this was one of the telling details: being generous in the appraisal of ideas being criticized. The upside of command-and-control leadership is the lack of ambiguity involved. In life-and-death situations, a confused chain of command is the last thing you need. Even in software development things can get rather, er, interesting in a team where authority is unclear (e.g. in a situation where, going by the org chart, project technical lead is outranked by one of his team members).
One of the topics that got discussed was the notion of being an expert (an SME, in the Knowledge Management jargon) vs. being a learner. Here the claim was that a learner was always expecting to learn new things, and so would embrace change, and not shy away from admitting ignorance and asking questions; whereas an expert would find things that they didn't know about as a threat.
This was something that I found unconvincing, or rather I thought it was mixing up two distinct concerns.
I've lived in Cambridge most of my life, and I know some of the dynamics of expertise both in industry and academia, and I don't think that genuine experts are threatened by the thought of the limits of their expertise becoming known. Of course, you get people who like the role of being an expert, and they do find it difficult to admit ignorance: but precisely for that reason they miss out on opportunities to learn, and so their expertise is often superficial.
There is a completely different reason why an expert might specifically find change threatening. This is that expert knowledge, practical wisdom, is often largely tacit rather than explicit. It gets embedded in ways of doing things. When the ways of doing things are changed, this knowledge can be irretrievably lost.
Polonius: By th' mass, and 'tis like a camel indeed.
Polonius: It is back'd like a weasel.
Hamlet: (Aside) They fool me to the top of my bent.
At first glance the interview is an example of an unreliable technique—by using three leading questions Hamlet leads Polonius to give three entirely different answers. Thus the interview does not yield any reproducible, reliable knowledge about the shape of the cloud in question.
At second glance, the topic of the interview might change: The figure in question is no longer the cloud, but the personality of Polonius and his trustworthiness. The interview then provide reliable, thrice-checked knowledge about Polonius as an unreliable person—his three different answers are all led by Hamlet's question.
Of course, not all of us have quite this level of expertise in sussing people out. Normally, understanding people takes time. When you realize how important it is to have time for people, the phrase "cash rich, time poor" can sound like a paraphrase of "cash rich, living dead".
There was an interesting example given of how a manager at a software company where Richard once worked managed to finesse having time for members of her team. They had a jigsaw puzzle. At the end of every day they would sit down together, and spend some time on it. Having something to gently absorb their attention gave them a way of winding down from whatever stressful project they were on, before they all went home. But it also gave the manager a chance to check up on people, to find out if there was anything she should know.
Richard, a native of Southern California of Maltese descent now living in Austria, also paid tribute to the great British tradition of going to the pub as a means of establishing group cohesion. And, quite properly then, the evening was rounded off by a trip to GE's local. I did have more to say about this, in connection with remarks about how teams (and companies) get reputations. However, I feel I've said quite enough already. Another time, perhaps.

Q: Why do my instances recycle when trying to store sessions in co-located Azure cache? I run an ASP.Net MVC3 application and have followed this Windows Azure How-To on how to store my sessions in a co-located cache in Windows Azure.
I have installed the mentioned Nuget-package, and applied the necessary information to my web.config. The web role is setup to run 2 small instances, and use a 30% co-located cache.
When I deploy to Azure, my instances just recycle. Through a remote desktop connection to one of the instances, I have found these two events in the logs, that seem related:

The CacheStatusIndicator service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done
this 1 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 1000
milliseconds: Restart the service.
The CacheService service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1
time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 60000
milliseconds: Restart the service.

However, I cannot find much information on that.
Does anyone have a clue what I might be missing here?

A: I am very much sure that your role is missing some of the reference and because of that your see such message from CacheStatusIndicator. Have you verified that your role does have all the modules/references set to "copy local as true" so all of them are part of deployment package. Mainly it is a MVC3 app, you may need to manually set app MVC specific references property to copy local as true to resolved this problem.

A: Now I spent my shared amount of time dealing with this, and finally it seems to be working. Not sure exactly what part solved the problem, but I'll wrap up the changes I made, in case someone else have the same issue at some point.

*

*While debugging this issue, I also updated my application from MVC3 to MVC4. Not sure if that has anything to do with solving this problem, but at least it is one of the changes I made.

*I noticed that another exception was thrown by the the IntelliTrace service, so I disabled that in the deployment and re-deployed the application (my guess is that this problem is what actually caused the instances to cycle.

Response from Microsoft Support on this issue:
I was troubleshooting your deployment with the issue and I got a memory dump from the CacheService.exe
This was the exception being thrown

CLR exception type: System.TypeInitializationException
      "The type initializer for 'Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.AzureCommon.AzureUtility' threw
  an exception." ModLoad: 000007feea010000 000007feea0fa000

  ntdll!ZwWaitForMultipleObjects+0xa: 00000000`76f5739a c3
  ret

The exceptions on this namespace can happen if:

*

*You set the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Caching.ConfigStoreConnectionString setting on ServiceConfiguration to use the local storage emulator

*On the web.config you have the identifier value of the <dataCacheClients> section not set to the correct role name

*In some rare cases if you have the SDK 1.6 and 1.7 installed together this can cause some mixed up DLLs when project is being built.

Q: How to get only date from datetime in CodeIgniter? I have data in MySQL table like :
ID     dates                   value
1    2011-12-18 10:11:12      test1
2    2011-12-18 12:11:12      test2
3    2011-11-18 10:19:11      test3

When I tried to get value in module it not work, I write code like :
$query=$this->db->get_where('datas', array('dates' => date('Y-m-d')));

I need to get data from whole day like get data only from 2011-12-18.
Thanks

A: Try This:

$date="2018-09-19";
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('tbl_name');
$this->db->where('DATE(date_time_col)', $date);
$query = $this->db->get();
$res= $query->result();

A: try with $this->db->like();
so it will be
$query=$this->db->like('dates', array('dates' => date('Y-m-d')));

the % will be added automatically
also you have datas as key, and should be dates based on database structure

A: You can do the following:
In your table, create an int field with the name ts.
When you insert data into this table, use the time() method to insert a timestamp into ts.
$data = array(
   'dates' => '<your date value>' ,
   'value' => '<your value>' ,
   'ts'    => time()
);

$this->db->insert('datas', $data);

Then, when querying:
Use the mktime() method to create a timestamp range for the start & end of today.
$start = mktime() - date('h')*3600;
$end   = mktime();

$this->db->where('ts >=', $start);
$this->db->where('ts <=', $end);

Make sure you've indexed the ts column. This will also be faster than the above LIKE method on larger datasets.

I have tried different JSON formats with the same result.
¿What is the correct way to specify the JSON in ?

A: If the evaluator=json, the expression must be a json path. But in your case, it's not required as you're reading a query param and an HTTP header.


Denying a parent's rights to visitation, for the most part, is not legal without a court order. There are times, however, when the other parent can request the family court to restrict visitation rights. This is possible in certain circumstances, especially if the non-custodial parent is abusing the child or has problems like drinking or using illegal drugs.
The thing to remember is, judges will only allow denial or restriction of visitation rights for limited circumstances, and some of these may only create restriction instead of permanent custody change. These circumstances include child abduction, physical harm, emotional abuse, and sexual behavior that may have negative effects on the child.
Visitations can and must continue even if the other parent is late on child support payments. If there is an issue with the other parent, the other one needs to take the proper legal action, instead of just deciding to deny or hinder visitation. Child custody lawyers in Colorado Springs say this can result in legal consequences like losing rights or even custody of the kid.
When there is a formal child custody order in place, a court may punish the one who disobeys the agreement. The punishment, of course, will still depend on a judge. This usually depends on the length and frequency of visitation denial. Punishments may include make-up visit, child support suspension, or a change in custody.
For the custodial parent to deny visitation, it is advisable to have the original custody changed. If the court found the restriction reasonable, they may allow visitation under supervision. When it comes to suspension, this can only happen if a parent violated the order multiple times. This s also possible if the kid is troubled because of visitation or if the parent made threats to fly away with the child.
It is advisable to consult with a lawyer when changing a visitation order. An experienced family attorney can help parents understand their rights and deal with the legal proceedings.

Notes: This pamphlet is an excerpt from "The Knouto-Germanic Empire and the Social Revolution" and included in "The Complete Works of Michael Bakunin" under the title "Fragment." Parts of the text were originally translated into English by G.P. Maximoff for his anthology of Bakunin's writings, with missing paragraphs translated by Jeff Stein from the Spanish edition, Diego Abad de Santillan, trans. (Buenos Aires 1926) vol. III, pp. 181–196.
I know only too well that this mode of life is highly esteemed in all civilized countries, that it is expressly and tenderly protected by all the States, and that the States, religions, and all the juridical laws, both criminal and civil, and all the political governments, monarchies and republican — with their immense judicial and police apparatuses and their standing armies — have no other mission but to consecrate and protect such practices. In the presence of these powerful and respectable authorities I cannot even permit myself to ask whether this mode of life is legitimate from the point of view of human justice, liberty, human equality, and fraternity. I simply ask myself: Under such conditions, are fraternity and equality possible between the exploiter and the exploited, are justice and freedom possible for the exploited?
Let us even suppose, as it is being maintained by the bourgeois economists and with them all the lawyers, all the worshippers and believers in the juridical right, all the priests of the civil and criminal code — let us suppose that this economic relationship between the exploiter and the exploited is altogether legitimate, that it is the inevitable consequence, the product of an eternal, indestructible social law, yet still it will always be true that exploitation precludes brotherhood and equality. It goes without saying that it precludes economic equality. Suppose I am your worker and you are my employer. If I offer my labor at the lowest price, if I consent to have you live off my labor, it is certainly not because of devotion or brotherly love for you. And no bourgeois economist would dare to say that it was, however idyllic and naive their reasoning becomes when they begin to speak about reciprocal affections and mutual relations which should exist between employers and employees. No, I do it because my family and I would starve to death if I did not work for an employer. Thus I am forced to sell you my labor at the lowest possible price, and I am forced to do it by the threat of hunger.
But — the economists tell us — the property owners, the capitalists, the employers, are likewise forced to seek out and purchase the labor of the proletariat. Yes, it is true, they are forced to do it, but not in the same measure. Had there been equality between those who offer their labor and those who purchase it, between the necessity of selling one's labor and the necessity of buying it, the slavery and misery of the proletariat would not exist. But then there would be neither capitalists, nor property owners, nor the proletariat, nor rich, nor poor: there would only be workers. It is precisely because such equality does not exist that we have and are bound to have exploiters.
This equality does not exist because in modern society where wealth is produced by the intervention of capital paying wages to labor, the growth of the population outstrips the growth of production, which results in the supply of labor necessarily surpassing the demand and leading to a relative sinking of the level of wages. Production thus constituted, monopolized, exploited by bourgeois capital, is pushed on the one hand by the mutual competition of the capitalists to concentrate evermore in the hands of an ever diminishing number of powerful capitalists, or in the hands of joint-stock companies which, owing to the merging of their capital, are more powerful than the biggest isolated capitalists. (And the small and medium-sized capitalists, not being able to produce at the same price as the big capitalists, naturally succumb in the deadly struggle.) On the other hand, all enterprises are forced by the same competition to sell their products at the lowest possible price. It [capitalist monopoly] can attain this two-fold result only by forcing out an ever-growing number of small or medium-sized capitalists, speculators, merchants, or industrialists, from the world of exploiters into the world of the exploited proletariat, and at the same time squeezing out ever greater savings from the wages of the same proletariat.
On the other hand, the mass of the proletariat, growing as a result of the general increase of the population — which, as we know, not even poverty can stop effectively — and through the increasing proletarianization of the petty-bourgeoisie, ex-owners, capitalists, merchants, and industrialists — growing, as I have said, at a much more rapid rate than the productive capacities of an economy that is exploited by bourgeois capital — this growing mass of the proletariat is placed in a condition wherein the workers are forced into disastrous competition against one another.
For since they possess no other means of existence but their own manual labor, they are driven, by the fear of seeing themselves replaced by others, to sell it at the lowest price. This tendency of the workers, or rather the necessity to which they are condemned by their own poverty, combined with the tendency of the employers to sell the products of their workers, and consequently buy their labor, at the lowest price, constantly reproduces and consolidates the poverty of the proletariat. Since he finds himself in a state of poverty, the worker is compelled to sell his labor for almost nothing, and because he sells that product for almost nothing, he sinks into ever greater poverty.
Yes, greater misery, indeed! For in this galley-slave labor the productive force of the workers, abused, ruthlessly exploited, excessively wasted and underfed, is rapidly used up. And once used up, what can be its value on the market, of what worth is this sole commodity which he possesses and upon the daily sale of which he depends for a livelihood? Nothing! And then? Then nothing is left for the worker but to die.
The current price of primary necessities constitutes the prevailing constant level above which workers' wages can never rise for a very long time, but beneath which they drop very often, which constantly results in inanition, sickness, and death, until a sufficient number of workers disappear to equalize again the supply of and demand for labor. What the economists call equalized supply and demand does not constitute real equality between those who offer their labor for sale and those who purchase it. Suppose that I, a manufacturer, need a hundred workers and that exactly a hundred workers present themselves in the market — only one hundred, for if more came, the supply would exceed demand, resulting in lowered wages. But since only one hundred appear, and since I, the manufacturer, need only that number — neither more nor less — it would seem at first that complete equality was established; that supply and demand being equal in number, they should likewise be equal in other respects. Does it follow that the workers can demand from me a wage and conditions of work assuring them of a truly free, dignified, and human existence? Not at all! If I grant them those conditions and those wages, I, the capitalist, shall not gain thereby any more than they will. But then, why should I have to plague myself and become ruined by offering them the profits of my capital? If I want to work myself as workers do, I will invest my capital somewhere else, wherever I can get the highest interest, and will offer my labor for sale to some capitalist just as my workers do.
If, profiting by the powerful initiative afforded me by my capital, I ask those hundred workers to fertilize that capital with their labor, it is not because of my sympathy for their sufferings, nor because of a spirit of justice, nor because of love for humanity. The capitalists are by no means philanthropists; they would be ruined if they practiced philanthropy. It is because I hope to draw from the labor of the workers sufficient profit to be able to live comfortably, even richly, while at the same time increasing my capital — and all that without having to work myself. Of course I shall work too, but my work will be of an altogether different kind and I will be remunerated at a much higher rate than the workers. It will not be the work of production but that of administration and exploitation.
But isn't administrative work also productive work? No doubt it is, for lacking a good and an intelligent administration, manual labor will not produce anything or it will produce very little and very badly. But from the point of view of justice and the needs of production itself, it is not at all necessary that this work should be monopolized in my hands, nor, above all, that I should be compensated at a rate so much higher than manual labor. The co-operative associations already have proven that workers are quite capable of administering industrial enterprises, that it can be done by workers elected from their midst and who receive the same wage. Therefore if I concentrate in my hands the administrative power, it is not because the interests of production demand it, but in order to serve my own ends, the ends of exploitation. As the absolute boss of my establishment I get for my labor ten or twenty times more than my workers get for theirs, and this is true despite the fact that my labor is incomparably less painful than theirs.
But the capitalist, the business owner, runs risks, they say, while the worker risks nothing. This is not true, because when seen from his side, all the disadvantages are on the part of the worker. The business owner can conduct his affairs poorly, he can be wiped out in a bad deal, or be a victim of a commercial crisis, or by an unforeseen catastrophe; in a word he can ruin himself. This is true. But does ruin mean from the bourgeois point of view to be reduced to the same level of misery as those who die of hunger, or to be forced among the ranks of the common laborers? This so rarely happens, that we might as well say never. Afterwards it is rare that the capitalist does not retain something, despite the appearance of ruin. Nowadays all bankruptcies are more or less fraudulent. But if absolutely nothing is saved, there are always family ties, and social relations, who, with help from the business skills learned which they pass to their children, permit them to get positions for themselves and their children in the higher ranks of labor, in management; to be a state functionary, to be an executive in a commercial or industrial business, to end up, although dependent, with an income superior to what they paid their former workers.
The risks of the worker are infinitely greater. After all, if the establishment in which he is employed goes bankrupt, he must go several days and sometimes several weeks without work, and for him it is more than ruin, it is death; because he eats everyday what he earns. The savings of workers are fairy tales invented by bourgeois economists to lull their weak sentiment of justice, the remorse that is awakened by chance in the bosom of their class. This ridiculous and hateful myth will never soothe the anguish of the worker. He knows the expense of satisfying the daily needs of his large family. If he had savings, he would not send his poor children, from the age of six, to wither away, to grow weak, to be murdered physically and morally in the factories, where they are forced to work night and day, a working day of twelve and fourteen hours. If it happens sometimes that the worker makes a small savings, it is quickly consumed by the inevitable periods of unemployment which often cruelly interrupt his work, as well as by the unforeseen accidents and illnesses which befall his family. The accidents and illnesses that can overtake him constitute a risk that makes all the risks of the employer nothing in comparison: because for the worker debilitating illness can destroy his productive ability, his labor power. Over all, prolonged illness is the most terrible bankruptcy, a bankruptcy that means for him and his children, hunger and death.
"Look, my children, I have some capital which by itself cannot produce anything, because a dead thing cannot produce anything. I have nothing productive without labor. As it goes, I cannot benefit from consuming it unproductively, since having consumed it, I would be left with nothing. But thanks to the social and political institutions which rule over us and are all in my favor, in the existing economy my capital is supposed to be a producer as well: it earns me interest. From whom this interest must be taken — and it must be from someone, since in reality by itself it produces absolutely nothing — this does not concern you. It is enough for you to know that it renders interest. Alone this interest is insufficient to cover my expenses. I am not an ordinary man as you. I cannot be, nor do I want to be, content with little. I want to live, to inhabit a beautiful house, to eat and drink well, to ride in a carriage, to maintain a good appearance, in short, to have all the good things in life. I also want to give a good education to my children, to make them into gentlemen, and send them away to study, and afterwards, having become much more educated than you, they can dominate you one day as I dominate you today. And as education alone is not enough, I want to give them a grand inheritance, so that divided between them they will be left almost as rich as I.
This is what is said implicitly by every capitalist, every industrialist, every business owner, every employer who demands the labor power of the workers they hire.
But since supply and demand are equal, why do the workers accept the conditions laid down by the employer? If the capitalist stands in just as great a need of employing the workers as the one hundred workers do of being employed by him, does it not follow that both sides are in an equal position? Do not both meet at the market as two equal merchants — from the juridical point of view at least — one bringing a commodity called a daily wage, to be exchanged for the daily labor of the worker on the basis of so many hours per day; and the other bringing his own labor as his commodity to be exchanged for the wage offered by the capitalist? Since, in our supposition, the demand is for a hundred workers and the supply is likewise that of a hundred persons, it may seem that both sides are in an equal position.
Of course nothing of the kind is true. What is it that brings the capitalist to the market? It is the urge to get rich, to increase his capital, to gratify his ambitions and social vanities, to be able to indulge in all conceivable pleasures. And what brings the worker to the market? Hunger, the necessity of eating today and tomorrow. Thus, while being equal from the point of juridical fiction, the capitalist and the worker are anything but equal from the point of view of the economic situation, which is the real situation. The capitalist is not threatened with hunger when he comes to the market; he knows very well that if he does not find today the workers for whom he is looking, he will still have enough to eat for quite a long time, owing to the capital of which he is the happy possessor. If the workers whom he meets in the market present demands which seem excessive to him, because, far from enabling him to increase his wealth and improve even more his economic position, those proposals and conditions might, I do not say equalize, but bring the economic position of the workers somewhat close to his own — what does he do in that case? He turns down those proposals and waits. After all, he was not impelled by an urgent necessity, but by a desire to improve his position, which, compared to that of the workers, is already quite comfortable, and so he can wait. And he will wait, for his business experience has taught him that the resistance of workers who, possessing neither capital, nor comfort, nor any savings to speak of, are pressed by a relentless necessity, by hunger, that this resistance cannot last very long, and that finally he will be able to find the hundred workers for whom he is looking — for they will be forced to accept the conditions which he finds it profitable to impose upon them. If they refuse, others will come who will be only too happy to accept such conditions. That is how things are done daily with the knowledge and in full view of everyone. If, as a consequence of the particular circumstances that constantly influence the market, the branch of industry in which he planned at first to employ his capital does not offer all the advantages that he had hoped, then he will shift his capital elsewhere; thus the bourgeois capitalist is not tied by nature to any specific industry, but tends to invest (as it is called by the economists — exploit is what we say) indifferently in all possible industries. Let's suppose, finally, that learning of some industrial incapacity or misfortune, he decides not to invest in any industry; well, he will buy stocks and annuities; and if the interest and dividends seem insufficient, then he will engage in some occupation, or shall we say, sell his labor for a time, but in conditions much more lucrative than he had offered to his own workers.
The capitalist then comes to the market in the capacity, if not of an absolutely free agent, at least that of an infinitely freer agent than the worker. What happens in the market is a meeting between a drive for lucre and starvation, between master and slave. Juridically they are both equal; but economically the worker is the serf of the capitalist, even before the market transaction has been concluded whereby the worker sells his person and his liberty for a given time. The worker is in the position of a serf because this terrible threat of starvation which daily hangs over his head and over his family, will force him to accept any conditions imposed by the gainful calculations of the capitalist, the industrialist, the employer.
And once the contract has been negotiated, the serfdom of the workers is doubly increased; or to put it better, before the contract has been negotiated, goaded by hunger, he is only potentially a serf; after it is negotiated he becomes a serf in fact. Because what merchandise has he sold to his employer? It is his labor, his personal services, the productive forces of his body, mind, and spirit that are found in him and are inseparable from his person — it is therefore himself. From then on, the employer will watch over him, either directly or by means of overseers; everyday during working hours and under controlled conditions, the employer will be the owner of his actions and movements. When he is told: "Do this," the worker is obligated to do it; or he is told: "Go there," he must go. Is this not what is called a serf?
M. Karl Marx, the illustrious leader of German Communism, justly observed in his magnificent work Das Kapital that if the contract freely entered into by the vendors of money — in the form of wages — and the vendors of their own labor — that is, between the employer and the workers — were concluded not for a definite and limited term only, but for one's whole life, it would constitute real slavery. Concluded for a term only and reserving to the worker the right to quit his employer, this contract constitutes a sort of voluntary and transitory serfdom. Yes, transitory and voluntary from the juridical point of view, but nowise from the point of view of economic possibility. The worker always has the right to leave his employer, but has he the means to do so? And if he does quit him, is it in order to lead a free existence, in which he will have no master but himself? No, he does it in order to sell himself to another employer. He is driven to it by the same hunger which forced him to sell himself to the first employer. Thus the worker's liberty, so much exalted by the economists, jurists, and bourgeois republicans, is only a theoretical freedom, lacking any means for its possible realization, and consequently it is only a fictitious liberty, an utter falsehood. The truth is that the whole life of the worker is simply a continuous and dismaying succession of terms of serfdom — voluntary from the juridical point of view but compulsory in the economic sense — broken up by momentarily brief interludes of freedom accompanied by starvation; in other words, it is real slavery.
This slavery manifests itself daily in all kinds of ways. Apart from the vexations and oppressive conditions of the contract which turn the worker into a subordinate, a passive and obedient servant, and the employer into a nearly absolute master — apart from all that, it is well known that there is hardly an industrial enterprise wherein the owner, impelled on the one hand by the two-fold instinct of an unappeasable lust for profits and absolute power, and on the other hand, profiting by the economic dependence of the worker, does not set aside the terms stipulated in the contract and wring some additional concessions in his own favor. Now he will demand more hours of work, that is, over and above those stipulated in the contract; now he will cut down wages on some pretext; now he will impose arbitrary fines, or he will treat the workers harshly, rudely, and insolently.
But, one may say, in that case the worker can quit. Easier said than done. At times the worker receives part of his wages in advance, or his wife or children may be sick, or perhaps his work is poorly paid throughout this particular industry. Other employers may be paying even less than his own employer, and after quitting this job he may not even be able to find another one. And to remain without a job spells death for him and his family. In addition, there is an understanding among all employers, and all of them resemble one another. All are almost equally irritating, unjust, and harsh.
Is this calumny? No, it is in the nature of things, and in the logical necessity of the relationship existing between the employers and their workers.

A papal legate or Apostolic legate is a personal representative of the pope to foreign nations, or to some part of the Catholic Church. He is empowered on matters of Catholic Faith and for the settlement of ecclesiastical matters.
The legate is appointed directly by the pope (the bishop of Rome, head of the Catholic Church and head of state of the papal states). Hence a legate is usually sent to a government, a sovereign or to a large body of believers (such as a national church) or to take charge of a major religious effort, such as an (ecumenical) council, a crusade to the Holy Land, or even against a heresy such as the Cathars.


The cost of future greenhouse gas emissions abatement is dependant on the size of the challenge facing Australia in order to achieve it's climate commitments. The Climate Change Authority's proposal for the adoption of a 15% emissions reduction target is likely to place public pressure on the government in the design of its policy, yet is unlikely to result in any meaningful policy shift.
Given the changing nature of Australia's policy landscape, in this Market Briefing we review the potential implications for the governments' proposed Direct Action Plan in order to understand how Australia's abatement challenge may translate into an annual abatement trajectory – a key driver of the emerging DAP-ERF market.


The World Junior Championships exist to prepare athletes for senior level competitions—the World Championships, the Olympics, etc. Medals are great but a secondary concern. More than anything else, the goal is to learn.
No problem with that—it would not be called the World "Junior" Championships if the this was the be-all, end-all for the swimmers competing. But in the moment, on the final night of the meet, medals meant everything.
In 11 finals, American swimmers won ten medals, including twice finishing 1-2. More than they had all week, the American team caught fire.
Zoe Bartel and Ella Nelson delivered the first 1-2 in the women's 200 breast, both using strong back halves to get past early leader Mona McSharry. You think either will be forgetting the moment right after they finished, when Bartel showed surprising regard for the integrity of the lane line as she swam underwater from lane four to lane three to embrace Nelson?
There's a reason Nelson was able to cut another three tenths off her best time after dropping more than three seconds at U.S. Nationals in late June—the opportunity to do something great for Team USA had inspired her.
A few minutes later, Andrew Abruzzo won his third gold medal of the week in the men's 1500 free, and in a furious finish, teammate Michael Brinegar held off Russia's Iaroslav Potapov for second by 0.18.
Abuzzo had shared the podium with teammate Trey Freeman after his 400 free and with Brinegar after his gold in the 800 free, but both of those medals had been bronze, not silver. This one was even sweeter.
"It was surreal," Abruzzo said of his celebration with Brinegar after the race. "That's what everyone dreams of, having your teammate right beside you and both going best times.
The individual swim that might have captivated the team more than any other was the 15-year-old competing in the final of the men's 200 back: Carson Foster.
Two weeks earlier, Foster had starred at U.S. Junior Nationals in New York, winning four events and breaking 2:00 for the first time in the 200 back (1:59.13). And then, two days before he was originally scheduled to make his World Juniors debut, the U.S. coaches inserted Foster onto the 800 free relay for prelims action—and he split 1:48.03.
That earned him a spot on the finals' squad, and he was only two tenths slower, and he experienced the medal podium for the first time that night as the Americans took silver, one hundredth behind Hungary.
Heading into his 200 back, Foster's teammates expected a big effort, and he had even captured the attention of arguably the greatest backstroker ever: Aaron Peirsol.
Aside from his American teammates, who endearingly referred to Foster as "kid," he had some familiar support in the stands: his teammates from the Mason Manta Rays, including older siblings Jake and Hannah, who made the two-hour drive over from Cincinnati to watch him compete (on a Monday night, no less).
Think home-country advantage is irrelevant?
He was the top seed coming out of prelims, and Foster defended his turf come the final. He couldn't keep up with Spain's Hugo Gonzalez, who won his third gold medal of the week, but Foster managed to take another 1.5 seconds off his best time and get the silver in 1:57.87.
Among American 15-16 boys, that time ranks third all-time. Those faster? Peirsol and Olympic gold medalist Ryan Murphy. And Foster is still 15.
As Foster celebrated with his family and friends in the stands, the American team still had some unfinished business to get out of the way: win a relay. They'd come close in the 800 free relay but had not won gold in any of the previous six contested.
The chances quickly looked slim. Kibler led off in 55.47, a half-second slower than he had swum in the individual 100 back final. Italy had the lead, and the lead was only going to grow with World Junior Record-holder Nicolo Martinenghi swimming the breaststroke.
But the next three Americans, simply put, crushed it. Breaststroker Reece Whitley split 59.32, only two tenths behind Martinenghi. Butterflyer Cody Bybee, a surprise addition to the team, clocked 52.68 on that leg.
But the hopes still looked slim, with Italy still in the lead and Russia anchoring with 100 free World Junior Champion Ivan Girev.
But Matthew Willenbring, who had already dropped an impressive personal-best time of 49.17 to take bronze in the 100 free earlier in the night, did not back down. In fact, with 25 meters to go, he accelerated.
Willenbring came into the wall in 3:36.15, 0.15 ahead of Russia and 0.29 ahead of Italy. He had split a career-best 48.68 on the anchor leg. The Americans had their relay gold.
Next up, in the final event of the meet, the American women were hoping to follow suit in their medley relay, but the odds were stacked against them—Canada, a team which had dominated the women's relays all week, would have Olympic medalist Penny Oleksiak going in for the fly leg and Olympic medalist Taylor Ruck for the free.
Regan Smith and Bartel put the Americans more than two seconds ahead at the halfway point, but that's when Oleksiak went to work reeling in Lucie Nordmann. When Grace Ariola dove in the water for the anchor leg, the lead was merely a half-second.
With Ruck capable of a sub-53 second swim and Ariola having a lifetime-best split of 54.28—which had come the previous night while anchoring the 400 free relay to a silver—the odds were strongly in the Canadians' favor.
But Ariola was used to those underdog situations, as the medley marked the fourth relay she has anchored for the U.S. team this week, and each time, she had gone up against the Canadian relay juggernaut. She knew Ruck was coming for her, but she kept her composure.
Ariola ended up splitting 54.25, once again the best split of her life, but Ruck pulled ahead and touched first in 3:58.38. The Americans finished second in 3:59.19.
Another stellar effort to end a meet full of heroics—including twice swimming three races in one session—but not enough to win gold, and that had Ariola a bit ticked off.
So, yes, Ariola leaves Indianapolis annoyed after she stood on the silver-medal podium in four separate relays and heard "O Canada" play each time. But those aren't the only memories Ariola will take from this week.
From day one, the team's close bond was evident. The swimmers had arrived in Indianapolis only a couple days before the meet started, yet as soon as it did, teammates were genuinely invested in how others in American flag caps were performing, day in and day out.
And it's those memories that Ariola believes will be the motivation for most of their teammates as they return to training in their home clubs in the coming weeks.
So what makes a World Junior meet successful? Remember, it's not all about the medals.
"You want to win more medals than everybody else, but when you walk away and the kids are hungry and they want something more, to me that means a successful meet," Lundsten said.
Her men's counterpart on the U.S. team, Gemmell, had a different take.
Figuring out the logistics of an international meet? Sure, that's important, and athletes will remember how they need to handle the ready room and language barriers. But far more critical is how World Juniors introduces athletes to the concept of representing their country—and how that little taste of national pride and unity can inspire them.
Every American athlete this week was downright inspired to be a part of the U.S. national team, to have a chance to swim for something as big as their country. Think back to Bartel and Nelson, or to Abruzzo and Brinegar, or to Foster, the 15-year-old embraced by a veteran team that went out and swam the best race he ever had in the biggest moment of his young career.
What can be more motivating than realizing the potential to again wear the stars and stripes cap, only on a much higher level? Like, say, at the Olympics? That's the meet where above all else, medals matter. And that's the destination that the American swimmers who just finished up at the World Junior Championships will eventually aspire to.
And if what happened this week in Indianapolis inspires even some swimmers on this U.S. team in their journey towards becoming Olympians, even Gemmell will look back and consider the meet an enormous success.
Congratulations to all of the young men, women and coaches for a great meet.

The Lausanne Movement is calling on Christians from around the globle to engage in various conversations that will help the church to engage with the big issues of contemporary mission.
We are living in a time of enormous challenge and amazing opportunity for the church. The life and witness of the church around the world is being assailed by external pressures while simultaneously being weakened by internal troubles. Yet the church also faces unprecedented global opportunities for the spread of the gospel and open doors for ministry in regions traditionally closed to the witness of Christ.
Unfortunately, a concerted and well-reasoned response to these global issues and opportunities has been difficult because the church, and evangelicalism in particular, is highly fragmented.
The Lausanne Global Conversation is one step towards bringing together the global church to engage with these important issues related to world evangelization.
We believe these global issues need global conversations.
So let's talk, let's strategize, let's work together. Above all, let's pray–with a sense of expectation and hope–for the Lord to bring wisdom through the counsel of many (Proverbs 11:14).
Your voice in the conversation is needed. Every Christian has unique experience and insight to offer the church.
Two thirds of the people in the world are oral communicators – who can't, don't, or won't learn through literate means. Western Christianity has, since the time of the Gutenberg Bible "walked on literate feet" and has directly or indirectly required literacy of others, ignoring the vast majority of people who are oral communicators. Literate Christians must make significant changes in evangelism, discipleship, leadership training and church planting to reach the 4,000,000,000 oral communicators world-wide.
In this conversation we want to consider the issue of "Bible poverty." Bible poverty exists when people find themselves in a context or setting that blocks them from hearing the truths of the Scriptures. This happens, for example, when they do not have access to the Scriptures in a language they understand well, or they are unable to engage with the Scriptures in a meaningful way, or they do not have the opportunity to apply them to their lives.
Contexts such as these can be called "barriers." Some barriers are universal or nearly so while others differ according to context. We want to consider what barriers exist in urban contexts, in rural contexts, in contexts where other major religions dominate, and in contexts of the post-modern West.
As we consider barriers to the Scriptures, we also want to identify the bridges that would allow people to transcend and overcome these barriers. In some cases the bridges are easy to identify, but in other cases they will require searching together under the guidance of the Spirit of God to discern the way forward.

There are plenty of ways to improve the look of your home without a big investment of money, time, or effort. Whether you're looking for ways to put the finishing touches on your room or wanting to refresh your space for guests, here are a few tricks and some well-picked affordable accessories that can go a long way to making your home look like a million bucks.
Nothing can transform a room as quickly as a great coat of paint. Splashing some color on the walls can bring together all the elements in a room and refresh the look of any space.
What an easy way to dress up the entrance to your home! A new welcome mat or small area rug inside the door can add a nice punch of color and freshness to the room. Add a couple of large potted plants and your doorway will look thoroughly welcoming to all who enter.
Liven up your space with light! An evenly lit room is boring – variations in brightness, highlight, and shadow make a room more interesting and livable. The key to a great design is a balance of task, accent, and general lighting that allow you to perform a variety of activities in one room.
Displaying your favorite photos, painting or prints on the wall will dress up any room. It only costs a few cents each to print out your own photography on photo-quality paper. Enlarge some of your favorites and make a great focal point on a wall with a collection of framed photos in various sizes. Similarly, it's easy to find vintage prints, posters and other artwork – gather a few and display them together, and you've got a great-looking collection and conversation piece!
Accent pillows allow you to change up your decor seasonally and keep your room looking fresh and new throughout the year. Accent pillows enhance your existing home decor by bringing fun colors, patterns, shapes, and textures to your room.
Whether it's a new quilt draped over the end of a bed or sofa or some new hand towels for the bathroom, new linens can quickly make a room feel new again. A set of new hand towels, a colorful blanket, or a complete set of fine bed sheets are a quick eye-catching update.
Even if you have older furniture or hand-me-downs that you can't replace yet, give them new life with a fresh coat of paint, a different wood stain, or new fabric. Similarly, transform your kitchen and bathroom cabinets and dresser drawers with new knobs.
Another inexpensive way to improve your home is simply to get organized. High shelves and mantles are great for dressing up a space and cleaning up clutter from books, magazines and knick knacks that don't really have a good home. Tidy lower shelves with several matching baskets or boxes for papers, colors, toys, DVDs, and games. Use large baskets or bins in an unused corner to serve as a toy storehouse that is both quick access and easy pick-up.
Sprucing up your home doesn't have to be pricey or elaborate, and a few small changes can go a long way. With some well-chosen accessories and a little creativity, it's possible to make simple decorating changes that will help your home look and feel new.

German police have discovered that over 300 migrants have come to the country aboard freight trains since October, media reported Monday, citing police officials.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to Die Welt newspaper, Munich police discovered 270 migrants having entered Germany via freight trains from Austria, while Stuttgart police found 60 asylum seekers having arrived in Germany from Switzerland.
Europe is facing a massive migration crisis, which is considered to be the worst since World War II, with over half a million refugees and asylum seekers having arrived in the European Union from the Middle East and Northern Africa.
Many migrants are trying to reach Germany after Chancellor Angela Merkel announced welcome policy for the asylum seekers. Since 2015, over 1 million migrants arrived in the country.
Despite all EU efforts to curb the influx, migrants are still trying to enter the European countries illegally in trucks or freight trains, risking their lives. On December 3, 2016, the Austrian police found two migrants, crushed to death on a train transporting trucks, apparently trying to get to Germany.

Birthright Turns 18, Announces 600,000 Participants
By Aaron 0 500 Views
Lucky number חי.
It's a big birthday year for Birthright Israel: The program just turned 18! As part of the celebrations, Birthright Israel announced that 600,000 young Jewish adults have traveled to Israel on Birthright, hailing from 67 countries. That's a lot of people going to Israel that might not have otherwise done so.
Of course, this occasion also brings the funders of Birthright Israel back into the spotlight, including Miriam and Sheldon Adelson. These are definitely controversial figures in US politics. We already wrote about them when sharing info about the funding of Birthright Israel in general. Now that they're back in the news, it's worth mentioning again. We don't agree with the Adelson's political positions, but do not let their support completely taint Birthright. In fact, we believe that giving people the chance to go to step foot in Israel and learn first-hand about the country and region is the best way to help them develop their own, informed views.
Celebrating 18 with a new award
As part of the 18th anniversary of the launch of the Taglit Birthright program, the Jerusalem Post awarded the organization the first-ever award for "Most Influential Jewish Organization" of the year. Hard to argue with the importance of Birthright Israel when it comes to Jewish organizations when it exposes this sheer number of people directly to life in Israel.

Q: PHP Ignore an array of directories using RecursiveDirectoryIterator I have this code in PHP which i am using to list all my directories and files:
$path=__DIR__;
// List of directories / files to be ignored.
//
$ignoreDir = array('/home/integra/public_html/admin/phpMailer');

//Quick patch to add full path to Ignore
$ignoreDir = array_map(function ($var) use($path) {
    return $path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $var;
}, $ignoreDir);

$ite = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path, FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
foreach ( new RecursiveIteratorIterator($ite) as $filename => $object ) {

    if (in_array($filename, $ignoreDir))
        continue;

    echo $filename . '<br />';
}

i have a variable ($ignoreDir) which is an array of different folders to not display in my list but its still displaying them. In the above example i have used:
$ignoreDir = array('/home/integra/public_html/admin/phpMailer');

i have also tried:
$ignoreDir = array('phpMailer');

and
$ignoreDir = array('admin/phpMailer');

how can i get it to not display the directories, and files within

Farming Simulator 19: What We Know and What We Need (Part I)
Author's note: This is the first of a two-part series outlining potential areas for improvement for Farming Simulator 19. This article will focus on technical changes that could enhance the realism of the game, while the second part of the series will focus on broader possibilities such as game modes, vehicle enhancements, and more.
Farming Simulator is near and dear to my heart, and like a parent wishes for their child, I only want the best for the series. All of the suggestions in this feature are provided with the best intentions, and should be taken as a "wishlist" of sorts, and not as my realistic expectation of the improvements to be made (I recognize, for instance, that the development team is relatively small). I encourage those with alternative – or supporting – ideas to seek me out on Twitter to discuss.
With the announcement (from developer GIANTS Software and publisher Focus Home Interactive) that Farming Simulator 19 is coming this fall – which was no surprise to those who follow the games closely – it got me thinking: what do I want to see from the next iteration of the popular agricultural simulation series? What does the community want? After playing several hundred hours of Farming Simulator 17 and watching the library of user-created mods grow over the year and a half since the game's release, I thought I'd take a moment to be somewhat self-indulgent and write down my "wishlist" of features for the upcoming release. I've also tried to interweave my own desires with some that are typically the most highly-demanded by the Farming Simulator community on social media and the GIANTS forums.
The farming simulation genre (can we call it a genre? Perhaps a sub-genre?) seems to have gained some momentum in recent years. Farming Simulator 17 was the best-selling entry in the series to date, and other contenders such as Real Farm and Pure Farming 2018 have tried to mimic its success. While not all well received critically, the one thing that encourages me about the release of multiple farming games in a relatively short time frame is that it breeds competition (I gave Real Farm a fairly generous 7.5/10 in my review due to its innovations). I have seen things over the past year or so from Farming Simulator's competitors that I hope GIANTS will adapt and expand on for Farming Simulator 19, which I'll discuss below.
Farming Simulator 19 – What We Know
I'll start off with a recap of everything we currently know about Farming Simulator 19. It's going to be released in the fall of 2018 – my guess is that it will follow a similar release timeline to the last PC/console iteration, and we'll see it come out near the end of October. The game utilizes the same graphics engine, however that engine has been completely overhauled and will offer "the most striking and immersive visuals and effects to date". Press releases have also claimed that the game will bring great improvements "to nearly every aspect of the game" and introduce new farming activities and mechanics.
Farming Simulator 19 will feature three maps (previous entries only released with two). Two of those maps will be entirely new, while the third will be an improved version of the South American map released with the Platinum Edition DLC. Further, the game will boast the addition of even more equipment brands to its already-massive vehicle roster, and add new vehicles from the existing brands. For example, the release of the game's first screenshot showed an AGCO IDEAL combine – winner of "Machine of the Year" at Agritechnica, which is widely regarded as the world's leading trade fair for agricultural technology – confirming my suspicions that the AGCO brand would remain in the game (and bring the IDEAL with it). Focus Home has also said that the game will feature new crops (though we don't know what those will be), and introduce two new animals to the series: horses and dogs. Both of these can be seen in the Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) trailer that was released in mid-February, and were confirmed by a GIANTS Community Manager to have been intentionally shown.
All of this sounds very impressive, but the part that intrigues me most is the promise of "great improvements to nearly every aspect of the game" in a press release, and the indication that Farming Simulator 19 will introduce new activities and mechanics. What could this mean? Allow me to put forward my speculation on the things I think GIANTS either may be working or that they should be working on (and I'll throw in a little bit of optimistic naiveté for fun).
While the "we" in the sub-heading may lead you to believe I'm being self-important, I don't have any delusions of speaking for the entire Farming Simulator community. Rather, I'd like to present my thoughts in terms of the things that I think we, as players, need to see in Farming Simulator 19 in order to enhance the experience above and beyond that which was offered in 17. As mentioned earlier, many of these are features that are often touted by fellow players as key areas they feel the series could improve in. This article will focus on features of a more technical nature; those which are intrinsically a part of day-to-day farming operations, but that somehow are still missing from the core Farming Simulator experience.
I would argue that the lack of weather and seasons in the Farming Simulator is its most egregious offense. While farming is an occupation that is largely weather-dependent, the series has yet to add anything past a day/night cycle and the occasional rain- or snow-storm (which have no effect on farming operations other than preventing the player from harvesting). That being said, I believe that this is also GIANTS' greatest opportunity for improvement. Realismus Modding built the Seasons Mod for Farming Simulator 17, which provides a condensed calendar year split into four distinct seasons, including variations in temperature and weather. This adds a host of variables to the game and makes the moment to moment gameplay inherently more realistic by forcing the player to consider things like soil temperature when planting, moisture when harvesting, and proper storage of bales to avoid rotting. The mod also adds additional mechanics such as the requirement for vehicle maintenance (in addition to the daily "maintenance fee" seen in the base game), however I'll touch more on this specific item later on.
The fact that this mod exists gives me great hope for Farming Simulator 19. I believe GIANTS would be making a grave mistake if they allowed this to continue to be a user-created mod, rather than creating their own in-house solution (or adapting the mod). They are well aware of its existence, popularity, and quality – the Seasons Mod won the public online vote component of GIANTS' own Mod Contest 2017 – and they showed that it's possible to run the mod on Playstation 4 and Xbox One, porting it over after seeing significant demand from the game's console audience. Ultimately I feel that adding an enhanced version of this mod to the game would benefit it in many ways. Increasing the realism will provide an even more intense simulation experience for those who want it by requiring more effective management of a player's farm due to the time constraints imposed by the changing seasons and weather.
I understand there is likely some concern at GIANTS around losing the more "casual" simulation audience if they push the game too far towards realism – after all, it's still a game. However, I believe this could be easily mitigated by providing seasons and weather as an option for players to toggle. This may sound complex, but I believe that if players could add it to their saves in Farming Simulator 17 (or remove it) by simply toggling the mod on or off, it would theoretically be possible to give players a similar option if the features were to be included in the base game. This would allow everyone to enjoy the game the way that they want, whether that's through worrying about letting their hay dry before baling it and testing soil temperature before seeding, through turning the game speed up as high as possible and growing crops in a matter of minutes, or somewhere in between.

Pests, Weeds, and Moisture
While this item (or at least moisture in particular) might go somewhat hand in hand with weather and seasons, I believe it's separate enough that it could be added without them and still serve to greatly improve the realism offered by the game. In Farming Simulator 17, GIANTS introduced a 3-tiered fertilization system whereby (if turned on in the settings) players needed to fertilize their fields three times in order to maximize their yields. This was coupled with a new plowing mechanic – if fields weren't plowed after every 3 harvests, they would lose 10% of their yield until plowed. This is, however, the extent to which Farming Simulator has ventured into the territory of factors affecting crop yields.
In other recent agricultural simulators such as Real Farm and Pure Farming 2018, we have seen things like pests and moisture impact crop yields on a field-by-field basis. What I mean by this is that in those games, each field has a meter that indicates the level of various factors impacting crop yields. These include plowing and fertilization, but extend even further to things like insects, weeds, and moisture levels. Each field's levels differ, and so the player must treat each field according to its needs so that the yield can be maximized.
I feel that Farming Simulator 19 would benefit greatly from introducing a similar system, ideally in conjunction with the weather and seasons feature. Requiring the player to manage this wide variety of factors would take the game's realism to new heights by forcing them to turn their mind to effective management of multiple yield influencers. If this were to be combined with variable weather, it would provide the player with a much truer sense of the unpredictability of farming. Again, I recognize that not all players are looking for an ultra-realistic experience, and so I envision that this too could be made an in-game setting that can be toggled according to a player's tastes.
Pure Farming 2018 forces players to consider a multitude of factors, including irrigation and spraying. Could Farming Simulator 19 expand on this formula?
Realistic Terrain
The final item on my "Farming Simulator 19 wishlist" (at least in relation to the more "technical" pieces of the game) isn't one that I feel is particularly essential to the ultimate farming experience, however it is one that I understand many who play the game would like to see in order to make it more realistic. What I'm referring to is the static nature of the game's terrain and how it could be improved, particularly its response to rainy and wet conditions. Many players have expressed that they wish to see the game adapt technology similar to that seen in Spintires (and Spintires: Mudrunner) or Cattle and Crops whereby the terrain is truly 3-dimensional – to use a more concrete example, players would like to see their tractors create ruts when driving on wet ground, and possibly even get stuck if proper care isn't taken to mitigate risks.
Adding an element such as this is likely a massive undertaking, however it's clear that it has been done in other games. It would greatly enhance the realism of the game, providing yet another variable that players need to consider when going about their activities: should they plant the crop now and risk getting stuck or creating massive ruts in the field, or wait for it to dry but risk planting the crop too late? Once again, this is a feature that could rely heavily on the presence of weather and seasons to create that time crunch scenario, as well as provide the weather necessary to generate the muddy conditions that many players are seeking.
Cattle and Crops boasts realistic weather that creates muddy terrain.
These suggested changes and improvements all have one thing in common: they focus on improving the game's realism. As a player who enjoys the realistic aspects of the Farming Simulator series, it's in my nature to believe that a heightened sense of realism in the game will equate to it being more fun. I recognize that this isn't true for all players, and so I firmly believe that if any of these enhancements are brought to the game, that they should be "toggleable" options rather than simply forced on all players. Variety is the spice of life, and in an open-ended game like Farming Simulator 19, more options will likely equate to more fun for all players.
In case you hadn't guessed, Farming Simulator 19 is my most highly-anticipated game this year, so be on the lookout for more in-depth analysis to come as we learn more about its development. Next up: Part 2 of my "wishlist", taking a look at further possibilities for the Farming Simulator series.
