Hey, My iPhone Smells Like Popcorn!
Pop Secret's limited-edition gizmo is an olfactory breakthrough.
By Harry McCracken @harrymccrackenDec. 21, 2013
Harry McCracken / TIME
High-res graphics, stereo sound, touchscreens — gadgets have offered multisensory delights for years now. But with rare exceptions such as the wonderfully-named 2001 flop DigiScents iSmell, our devices have rarely put our noses to work.
Enter Pop Secret — yes, the popcorn people — and their new iPhone accessory, the Pop Dongle. Powered by its own battery and rechargable via USB, the gizmo looks like a giant smiling piece of popcorn and plugs into your phone's headphone jack. And when you play a popcorn-themed game called Poptopia — a free App Store download which doesn't require the Pop Dongle — it emits a burst of popcorn-scented goodness every time you swipe a flying butter pat.
How does it work? Along with sound effects — which the Pop Dongle plays over its built-in speaker — the game sends a special audio code over the headphone jack when it's time to give the player a sniff of buttery corn. On cue, the Dongle then vaporizes a spritz of popcorn-scented oil which wafts into the air.
And…it really does smell good! Although the Pop Dongle I tried had an admirably popcorny scent even when it wasn't plugged into the iPhone: I stored mine in my backpack, and found that it left the interior infinitely more pleasing to the nostrils, like a potpourri sachet. Only better.
As you've already surmised, the Pop Dongle is a publicity-generating stunt for Pop Secret. As of right now, though, it isn't a commercial product. The company produced only a limited run, and isn't selling them via conventional channels. It is, however, auctioning off three of them on eBay, with all proceeds going to the American Red Cross. Bidding on the one that's up right now stands at $280 as I write this. I wouldn't pay any more than about four percent of that figure purely to get the Pop Dongle experience, but hey, it's a good cause.
Of course, there's an easy way to generate much the same effect for less than a dollar, and it has the added advantage of being delicious. Just play Poptopia — and eat freshly-made popcorn while you do it.

Tempus is the name of two fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Publication history
The first Tempus initially appeared in Giant-Size Fantastic Four #2 and was created by Gerry Conway and John Buscema. He is an enormous humanoid who dwells in Limbo and serves Immortus. An immortal creature created from the stuff of Limbo, Tempus views his undying nature as a curse, and often remarks that he would consider execution a suitable reward for his services to Immortus.

The second Tempus first appeared in All-New X-Men #1 and was created by Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen. Eva Bell is an Australian teenager, who can create time-freezing bubbles and teleport people through time. Tempus is a new member of the Uncanny X-Men.

Fictional character biography

Servant of Immortus
On his master's behalf, the first Tempus has fought many different superheroes, including the Fantastic Four, and the West Coast Avengers. He was fought and defeated by Thor as part of a plot by Immortus to rob Thor of his ability to travel in time using Mjolnir.

The Destiny War was ignited when Immortus sent Tempus to kill an apparently critically ill Rick Jones on the moon. He was defeated by Kang the Conqueror, but was later rejuvenated in the same series by Immortus and sent to fight Hawkeye. Tempus' plan to defeat the hero by regressing him backwards through time to the point of non-existence backfired when Hawkeye regained his lost size changing abilities, granting him enough power to defeat Tempus again.

Eva Bell

Eva Bell is a goth-punk teenager from Gold Coast, Queensland. When her powers newly manifest, Cyclops appears and asks her to join his new X-Men. She at first doesn't want to and prefers a normal teenage life, but then the Avengers come to recruit her and she decides she will not have a normal life and Cyclops's team will be cooler. She then creates a time bubble that freezes the Avengers, so they can escape.

Eva uses her time travel to erase the threat of Matthew Malloy, a mutant that was obliterating the Earth. She travels back in time to a younger Professor Xaiver. Matthew's parents never quite meet, thus erasing the threat from the timeline.

In the pages of House of X and Powers of X when the X-Men made Krakoa a mutant paradise, Tempus became part of the Five who were charged with the duty of resurrecting fallen mutants through a process called the "transcendent" which recreates their bodies, restores their powers, and restores their memories at the time of their deaths. Tempus' part involves accelerating the growth of Goldballs' unviable eggs after Elixir is done with the cellular replication. This was first shown when X had the Five restore Archangel, Cyclops, Husk, Marvel Girl, Mystique, Nightcrawler, Penance, and Wolverine following a mission that involved stopping Nimrod. Tempus and the Five were also seen when the United Nations recognized Krakoa as a sovereign nation as well as the first meeting with the Quiet Council.

Powers and abilities
Endowed with enormous strength and wielding a club, the first Tempus could trade blows with enemies such as Thor and the alien monster Alioth. His body was composed of the stuff of Limbo itself, which Immortus could control and use to summon an army of trillions from across time to fight Kang the Conqueror. Tempus also seemed to have some chronal powers as well, as evidenced by his aforementioned attempt to defeat Hawkeye.

Eva Bell has the ability to create time bubbles that freeze anybody trapped inside. She can also create time bubbles that freeze lasers and bullets. She also learns later that she can teleport others into the future, like when during a training session she teleports Magik 10 seconds into the future. As a young mutant she does not know the extent of her powers.

As well as my Hot Rod, Gangster and James Bond movies , the family and I also like to watch movies from a wide range of other genres. I'm also interested in who the actors were in these movies and facinated by the other insignificant details like where they were shot or any special props that were used in the movie.
Some of our favourite actors and directors include the big name classics like Steve Mc Queen, Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, Robert De Niro, Adam Sandler, , Jason Tarantino.
Some actors films have attained our own version of cult status, anything from Arnold Swarztnegger or Bruce Willis for example.
Interestingly I have collected a number of automotive related Australian films but nothing that is really "mainstream". I'll watch them when I can but don't have many in my collection.
But being Australian I also have an interest in our home grown actors as well. Like Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, Russell Crowe, Eric Bana.


Mission Impossible? Not for this squirrel!
I saw this years ago, but when it was sent to me via Facebook Messenger. Today I decided I had to share it with you, my new friends and minions, and I figured I'd add a few more as well.
I want to emphasize that this is what comes from perseverance, determination and hard work… it's called success!
I'm not sure you can negotiate with a squirrel, but individually we can certainly strive to be as tenacious as they are, especially when it comes to things we truly desire!


My Penn Pursuit 6000 is spinning backwards. I can't pull in fish.
My Penn 750ss Gen 2 clicks when reeling, but makes no noise when line is being pulled out. It also has a tendency to flip the anti-reverse switches when in use.
How long did you guys design the sprags in the fierce to last? Cause i got a fierce that is still quite smooth and the sprag is wasted.
Sprag? Not familiar with that term.
We didn't design it to last a certain period of time.....how long a reel lasts all depends on much you use it and more importantly how much saltwater you get inside it.....A/R bearings (in every reel I've ever seen) will corrode when exposed to saltwater. We'd be happy to take a look at it for you if you like.
I service my own reels and i think the bearing is just done. Do you guys supply the a/r bearings for the original fierce 4000. If so what do they start at and where can i order them.
Link to PENN parts department. Besides PENN, another excellent source of parts is Scott's Bait & Tackle.
Parts can be purchased directly from us, plenty of 098C3000SG in stock.
I heard there is special discounts for associates who work for Penn Dealers, is that true?
That's between you, the dealer you work for, and the local sales rep. Nothing that is run through corporate.
Is there any way I can contact our sales rep? I don't think we actually have one come to our store (****'s Sporting Goods) and non of my corporate/HR know of a Penn Rep. Any idea on how I can find an email/phone number for one?
I have a spinfisher 8500v that has a smooth scratching sound when turning handle. Took spool off and same sound. Any ideas what is the issue?
Difficult to say without actually being able to see/hear the reel. If you have done the usual [internal cleaning, re-lubing] it may need to be sent in. If still under warranty [less than a year old], send direct to PENN per the website instructions, or you can also check the site for a servicing dealer near you if past the warranty period. Even if past warranty, you can still send it direct to PENN, but there may be a charge depending on the cause.

What could possibly be more important to us than Nature? – Prakash Belawadi
The veteran actor talks about the pressing need to change our lifestyle, the post-pandemic future of theatre and more
Prakash Belawadi is a familiar face. In the movies, he has essayed several memorable roles. In theatre, he is a veteran. On news channels, you might occasionally find him involved in intense debates. Away from these on-screen dramas, Prakash also actively participates in environmental programmes. And, the National Award-winning filmmaker will talk about the need to change our lifestyle on Columbia Pacific Communities' Facebook Live, #TheLivingRoom.
Ahead of his live session at 4.30 pm on July 17, Prakash spoke to MetroPlus on the post-pandemic future of theatre, his future projects and more.
What have you been up to in the last four months?
I have written a screenplay, and am presently working on the second one. I did some patchwork shooting for a web series. I have also been working on a play script which I'm adapting from a novel. I have been busy with the Rotary organisation too, especially for the cause of the environment, which is a new Rotary International area of focus. I have been active on Facebook following the Covid-19 pandemic and China's politics, spending time at home and annoying my wife in the kitchen with my whimsical cooking.
What is the future of theatre after the pandemic?
Hard to tell when, but this pandemic will fade away, eventually. The virus may well learn to live and let live, or someone will find a cure or a vaccine. And we will be back in business. In fact, I will begin rehearsals for the play that I'm adapting, hoping to stage it in October or November. There have been pandemics before. Humans are resilient and fear is fast forgotten.
Will the pandemic impact the form and content of plays?
If the pandemic impacts our consciousness, if it makes us reflect on how we must live with nature and with each other, yes. We will see content that is concerned with equity and justice. Otherwise, we will get back to business as usual. In India, I'm hopeful that a change for the better will come about, gradually.
Can you talk about the differences between acting in cinema and theatre?
There are many differences. I will list some here: On stage, the whole body is before the viewer, it is not chopped up by framing and lensing into close-ups or mid-shots; action and reaction are not set in sequence by editing; the audience don't get different points of view with changing camera placements; the action on stage is continuous, not broken up with editing cuts. The stage does not depend on "real places" for locations — jungles, the sea, mountains, ships, airplanes and trains, palaces or parliaments. It works by 'suggestion'; a plastic chair can be a throne, a painting or pencil sketch can be a landscape; any man, woman or child from any part of the world can play the role of any character of any age, male or female — Abraham Lincoln, Queen Victoria, tiger or snake. Once the play begins, there are no 'Action' and 'Cut' calls, no retakes, no stops other than planned intervals… A stage play happens in a sacred time-space, it is not a recorded medium. Actors and audiences need to bring their 'bodies' to the space (theatre) and time (show duration) of action (the play) and experience. When the play is done, all we are left with is the experience. There is not a recorded reel. Of course, now we are finding a middle way with the live telecast of stage shows.
You have been an active participant in environmental programmes. Do you think our movies should highlight environmental issues as much as they do social problems?
Not just movies, all media and politics should bring ecology to the front page. We came from the elements, we will return to the elements. What could possibly be more important to us than Nature?
In the #TheLivingRoom, you're going to talk about the changes we need to make in our lifestyle. What are the post-pandemic changes you foresee?
The previous pandemics, like the 2009 Swine Flu, didn't hurt the economy as badly as this one. So we didn't learn any lessons from it. But the worldwide lockdowns have destroyed businesses of the rich and livelihoods of the poor. Societies which care and that have commonsense will better appreciate that Nature is not a resource for humans to exploit, that Nature is the source itself — of all life, matter and consciousness.
The air was cleaner, skies bluer and waters sparkled during the lockdown. Nature doesn't need humans. We need Nature. Nations that don't learn that lesson and continue to destroy forests, pollute air and water by building concrete monstrosities will perish, if not with Covid-19, then the next big pandemic.
We don't need so many automobiles. We don't need bigger homes, cars or wardrobes. Enough. We can't live like this. If we continue with this, we don't deserve to, anyway.
Are there any changes that you have promised yourself to make?
Three things: 1) I won't buy anything unless I really need it; 2) I will try to grow most of what my wife and I eat, so that I learn not to see what I consume in mere transactional terms; and 3) I will seriously consider the old motto – simple living, high thinking.

Will Smith Net Worth
Posted by Admin on Will Smith Net Worth2015-03-15T18:09:58+00:00 under Celebrity Net Worth No Comment
Will Smith net worth is $220 million and he is an amazingly multi-talented person who was once known to be the most powerful star in Hollywood.
The popular actor/singer Will Smith was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and when he was 16 years of age, he met a DJ at a private party. They became good friends and this friendship gave birth to the famous rapping duo. They adopted new names when they started rapping together; they were now DJ Jazzy and Fresh Prince.
Smith liked rapping but he was into acting as well, and in 1990 he found an opportunity to act in a TV show. The name of the show was The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. Two years later, he signed a contract of a film and since 1992; he has been starring in famous movies. Smith was born in a mediocre family; his mom was a school board staff member and father owned a refrigerators company.
He studied from a Catholic school and was raised in a strict environment. He was cute, charming, and bright by nature and Will Smith family life and upbringing made him a disciplined too. He knew how to get out of trouble. His friends were kind of impressed with his talents and wittiness so they began calling him Prince.
So Prince started rapping at a very young age. He was just 12 when he successfully emulated rappers like Grandmaster Flash but he added his own rhymes to their music that later became his trademark. In the field of acting, he gave winning performances one after another; and one of his blockbusters is known as Men in Black.
He played the role of a world famous boxer Mohammad Ali in the movie and he went through intense training and self disciplining to prove himself as an athlete who could justify the charismatic character of the boxer Ali. This film won him the best actor's Oscar.
I, Robot in 2004 was another hit in which Smith played the role of a cop who investigates a murder committed by a robot. This movie earned $144 million in America's box office.
Smith talked so captivatingly that a film producer thought to cast him in a romantic comedy in which he played the role of a lady man who was a dating consultant helping unfortunate guys achieve their dream girls. Will Smith quotes in this film were a huge success and his romantic moves were adapted by many guys in real life.
Will Smith with family
Let's talk about his personal life; he married twice in his life, first in 1992 and later in 1997. His first marriage lasted just for three years and they had a son together. His second marriage continues to date and he had a son and a daughter from his second wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
Will Smith's house
They live in Florida and Smith has built an adobe style house that is designed by Stephen Samuelson. When you look at its pictures, you'll be convinced that it is Will Smith net worth that allowed him to build such an adorable luxurious house. We'll conclude the article with an interesting fact about Smith. Do you know he was 6 feet two inches tall since he was 13.

Nov. 21, 2017 - Industry 4.0, whether it is referred to as the Smart Factory or the Industrial IoT (IIoT), has long offered more conceptual ideas than realizable solutions, at least from the perspective of outside observers.
Yet for those involved in advanced automation, where factories are becoming smarter, more connected and autonomous, Industry 4.0 is an everyday reality. A new breed of smart cameras is acting as the eyes of these factories, and helping to turn far-fetched Industry 4.0 concepts into practical solutions with tangible improvements in the monitoring, analyzing and controlling of data from anywhere on the globe.
First introduced in the 1980s, smart cameras combine lenses, sensors, processors, interfaces and software together into small, all-in-one vision systems. Besides being inexpensive, their primary advantage is having the on-board computational ability to solve a vision task independently without connection to a host PC. A compact form also makes smart cameras easy to fit in tight spaces or to retrofit into an existing process. Since they have few moving parts and do not generate high temperatures, maintenance costs are kept low. Smart camera systems are also typically provided with GUIs for developing a machine-vision inspection program with little or no programming. Smart cameras that integrate fast CPUs may even allow the use of off-the-shelf software packages designed for PC-based systems.
Until the late 2000s, smart cameras featured mainly low-end processors and were deployed for single-purpose applications, such as barcode reading, go/no go decision making, OCR or counting. Difficulty managing sophisticated algorithms meant that complex images or operations requiring rapid analysis were well outside their scope. As processing improved however, smart cameras began to compete with PC-based systems in applications including assembly verification, 1D and 2D barcode inspection, and robotic guidance.
Processing power has long been a problem for smart cameras, prompting many customers to ask "why not incorporate larger processors?" Simply put, a larger processor and FPGA mean a much larger camera. The same goes for a larger sensor to increase image resolution. Both defeat one of the main benefits of the smart camera — its compact size. Also, a larger processor requires additional power consumption resulting in higher heat dissipation. Using a fan isn't an answer since it introduces the potential for mechanical failure. Fans also cause vibrations that could influence measurements. As a result, system integrators have continued to rely upon traditional PC-based cameras for high-speed, complex applications and smart cameras for low-end, single-purpose applications, or they've simply added more smart cameras to gain more power, which is not an efficient solution.
Meeting the needs of Industry 4.0 requires a new breed of smart cameras, one that combines multi-megapixel resolution and speeds comparable to a PC-based system, but without the size, heat and power drawbacks associated with bulky processors or sensors. Easy-to-use, open source software is a must for rapid and successful development. In addition, since network connectivity is the key factor defining a successful Industry 4.0 program, intelligent smart cameras must be built around machine vision standards such as Camera Link, GigE Vision, CoaXPress or USB3. As well, it should feature industrial-grade IP67 housing to survive harsh chemicals, vibration, moisture, extreme temperatures, dust and other contaminants commonly found in industrial environments.
In Industry 4.0 settings, smart cameras must be able to connect with components and systems involved in the industrial value creation process as well as to the factory's networks and the Internet. Ethernet networking connects smart cameras to automated devices that act on provided information, instantly leading to desired actions without any human intervention. Instead of being a reactive tool to detect defects, these smart cameras have become extraction tools that employ Big Data-style statistical and data science techniques to draw insights from images and apply them throughout the enterprise.
For example, with the use of data analytics and smart cameras, a plant manager is able to determine when a piece of equipment will fail before the maintenance crew notices there is a problem. The systems sense warning signs, use data to create maintenance timelines, and preemptively service equipment before trouble starts. Or consider the use of smart cameras to acquire images of molded plastic parts at every stage of the production process, starting at the locations of suppliers. Images of parts can be compared with thousands of others stored in the Cloud to identify correlations and trends, or they can be combined with data from sensors from other connected devices to gain insights into how each step and variable impacts the final product.
Going forward, an increase in processing power, together with software advances, will help overcome one perceived disadvantage of smart cameras — flexibility — and expand the scope of smart camera applications. Industrial, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, surveillance and other sectors are all anticipated to offer smart cameras a healthy growth rate.
Specifically for Industry 4.0, smart camera manufacturers must work to accommodate the range of industrial networking standards used in automation so that their cameras are able to communicate across all industrial protocols and with standard discrete I/O. Factory protocols can be directly integrated on some cameras today, but emerging protocols like Ethernet/IP and PROFINET may require third-party converters.
While current points of view differ over meeting the challenges presented by Industry 4.0, one thing everyone can agree on is that smart cameras will play a game-changing role in its development and adoption. No other component on a production line captures more information than a smart camera — assessing products, flagging defects and collecting data that is transformed into actionable information and insights that can drive measurable performance improvements.

Renault pays £200k for LOLER and PUWER infringements
Open-access content Thursday 7th March 2019
Hendon Magistrates' Court was told that Renault Retail Group was warned the lifts in Coulsdon and West London were defective and dangerous.
Investigating, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that, between 5 October 2015 and 29 September 2016, the company failed to prevent workers operating the vehicle lifts and this put its technicians in danger.
Renault Retail Group pleaded guilty to breaching reg 5(1) of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) and reg 10(3)(a) of the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER).
It was fined £200,000 and ordered to pay costs of £17,218.
HSE inspector Jane Wolfenden said: "These breaches could have led to a very serious incident and it is fortunate nobody was injured as a result. This case highlights the importance of maintain work equipment in a safe condition to protect workers from danger."


The OnePlus One is a smartphone with top-tier hardware and a mid-range price. But demand for the first phone from Chinese startup OnePlus has outstripped supply and it's been hard to actually buy the phone.
OnePlus has relied on an invitation system and a limited-time pre-order system to sell its phones so far.
But the company has sold a lot of phones. In an interview with Forbes, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei says OnePlus has sold more than half a million phones, and hopes to sell hit twice that number by the end of 2014.
The OnePlus One has a 5.5 inch full HD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB of RAM, 16GB to 64GB of storage, 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, and 4G LTE as well as a 13MP rear camera and 5MP front camera.
The phone's most noteworthy feature is the price: A 16GB model sells for $299, while a 64GB version costs $349.
Half a million phone sales might be considered a flop for some bigger companies. But it's pretty impressive for a startup that's spent just about no money on advertising, instead relying on (sometimes questionable) publicity stunts, attractive pricing, and word-of-mouth.
As things stand, the only reason the company hasn't sold more phones is probably because it doesn't have more. The devices are sold for just about what it costs to make them, and OnePlus only manufactures the phone in limited quantities so it doesn't end up with a large number of unsold phones sitting in a warehouse.
Clearly the company isn't making a lot of money by selling phones with slim profit margins. Pei tells Forbes OnePlus hopes to not only use the One to raise awareness of the brand, but also to make money in the future by selling accessories or possibly software or services to people who are already using the company's phones.
This is call the Xiaomi business model. They started out exactly this way and most critics thought they were never going to make a cent.
You ignore a key fact, likely 80% of those phones were sold in China and they had no shortages there.
And likely the bulk of the international sales was during the recent preorder.
So they might have shipped 10k units in june and july, 15 in august,30 in sept and then 50 in october internationally. Ofc those are guesses, could be off by 100k but that's still just 200k outside China.
I love my oneplus one! I might get the Oneplus two if project ara doesn't take off. I am waiting for earphones to become in stock so I can buy some.
they just need to release a windows phone version!
Yes, if they want to bankrupt like Nokia did, that's all they have to do.
I cannot get excited for a product I simply cannot buy. I understand that you're selling the phone at razor thin margins. Still, the phone has proven itself popular enough that they can manufacture enough to meet the growing demand. I simply don't see myself having to jump through hoops, invitation and contests, just to buy something in this day and age.
You can buy the phone right now from many Chinese stores. It will cost about 50$ more. Still it is a decent price.
The Chinese versions of the OPO doesn't have LTE band 4 which means you can't use LTE in the USA.
It was worth the wait, trolled the OnePlus Facebook page long enough to win a invite!
I waited a month and then OnePlus issued me an invite. I bought the phone and I'm so impressed! I showed my coworker and he loved it. He then went on Swappa.com and bought 2 for the same price I paid. You can get one if you really want it.

Mike Ott studied under Thom Andersen at Cal Arts where he received his MFA degree in Film/Video and started out directing music videos for such bands as Pretty Girls Make Graves, The Blood Brothers, The Cave Singers, etc. Mike's second feature, Littlerock, won numerous awards, including the Audience Award at the 2010 AFI Fest, a Gotham Award and in 2011 he won an Independent Spirit Award. His next feature, Pearblossom Hwy, premiered at the 2012 AFI Fest in the US and at the prestigious Viennale in Austria. The film also screened at a number of festivals abroad including: International Film Festival Rotterdam, CPHPIX in Denmark, Melbourne International Film Festival, etc. He recently released the third installment of his Antelope Valley trilogy, titled Lake Los Angeles, which is currently screening at festivals around the world in 2014/2015.
That's not really for me to say. I do my best to make films, some people like them, some people don't.
I don't believe in anything or anyone being the best.
Personal: To be happy, always… and to occasionally stick it to the man.
Business: Don't really have any. My recent focus is getting my new production company up and running and continuing to make films.
I'm fascinated by outsiders and those who are living on the fringe of society. True weirdos are a dying breed and when I find one I become enamored.

Q: ProgressView updating on multiple steps of computation I'm coding an app targeted at iOS but would be nice if it would still work (as is the case now) with iPadOS and macOS. This is a scientific app that performs matrices computations using LAPACK. A typical "step" of computation takes 1 to 5 seconds and I want the user to be able to run multiple computations with different parameters by clicking a single time on a button. For example, with an electric motor, the user clicks the button and it virtually performs the action of turning the motor, time step after time step until it reaches a final value. With each step, the "single step" computation returns a value, and the "multiple step" general computation gathers all these single step values in a list, the aim being to make a graph of these results.
So, my issue is making a progress bar so that the user knows where he is with the computation he issued. Using a for loop, I can run the multistep but it won't refresh the ProgressView until the multistep computation is over. Thus, I decided to try DispatchQueue.global().async{}, in which I update the progress of my computation. It seems to work on the fact of refreshing the ProgressView but I get warnings that tell me I'm doing it the wrong way:

[SwiftUI] Publishing changes from background threads is not allowed;
make sure to publish values from the main thread (via operators like
receive(on:)) on model updates.

I do not know how to publish on ProgressView, also because all the examples I come across on the Internet show how to update ProgressView with a timer, and that is not what I want to do, I want each computation to be achieved, send ProgressView the fact that it can update, and continue with my computation.
Also, what I did does not update correctly the final values. As the computation is asynchronous, the multistep function finishes instantaneously, showing a value of 0.0 while when the tasks finishes, the final value should be 187500037500.0. I show you an example code with these values, it's a dummy and I put a huge for loop to slow down the code and ressemble a computation so you can see the update of the ProgressView.

US PGA Championship
Rory McIlroy fancies his chances at the US PGA this weekend
Is he worth a flutter?

Four-time major champion Rory McIlroy
RORY MCILROY IS confident that he can "excel" at Baltusrol and fancies his chances of winning another major at the US PGA Championship this week.
The world number four was unable to add to his tally of four major titles at The Open this month, finishing in a share of fifth as Henrik Stenson was crowned champion at Royal Troon.
McIlroy has found the US PGA very much to his liking, winning the final major of the year twice, recording five top-10 finishes and never missing the cut.
The Northern Irishman is backing himself to mount a strong challenge in Springfield, New Jersey due to the nature of the course.
He said on Tuesday: "It's a fair golf course. This week especially, I feel like everything's straight out in front of you. There's no real hidden secrets to it. And I feel that's what really lets me excel.
"I feel like I can play my game in PGA Championships. I can hit driver off the tee most of the time, and from there, if I drive it well, I feel like I have a big advantage.
"It's always been a tournament that's set up well for me. I've had some good finishes here. Obviously the wins in 2012 and 2014, but then I've had a couple of top-threes, a couple of top-10s, apart from that, as well. So it's been a good tournament for me."
He added: "There's a lot of golf left, it's the last major of the year, and I want to give it my all to get in the mix and try to win another one of these things before I have to wait another eight months to try to get another opportunity at Augusta next year."
McIlroy did not feel he could not have done much more in The Open a fortnight ago after watching Stenson and Phil Mickelson contest a pulsating final-day duel.
"I felt good [at Royal Troon]. The best I realistically could have finished at The Open was third. I never envisioned even with good conditions that I could get to 17-under and 20-under." the 27-year-old said.
"So if third was the best I could have done, fifth was okay. I felt like I played pretty well throughout the week. I felt like I handled the conditions pretty well that I had to play in.
"I feel like coming to courses like this and conditions like this at Baltusrol, it's more of my type of golf I guess, and I feel like I can really do well this week. I feel like my game is in good shape.
"I had some really good practice sessions with my coach, Michael Bannon, last week. I feel like I'm swinging it well. I'm hitting it good. Every aspect of my game, I'm very comfortable with.
"Combine that with the layout of the golf course here, and I feel like this is my best chance this year to win a major."

\section{The supernova neutrino signal}

When a massive star reaches the end of its life, its core collapses.
More than 99\% of the binding energy of the resulting neutron star
is released in the form of neutrinos
and antineutrinos of all flavors, with energies
in the tens of MeV range:  the energy
leaves via neutrinos because neutrinos
interact so weakly that they readily leave
the star.  The neutrinos themselves bring information
from deep inside the core; the detection of such a signal will
yield great insights into neutrino properties and core collapse
physics (\textit{e.g.} Raffelt 2007).
Of particular interest for this workshop is that
the timescale of neutrino emission is a
few tens of seconds, promptly after core collapse; the photon
signal, in contrast, can take hours or even days to
emerge from the stellar envelope.  Thus, the detection of a burst of
neutrinos will give astronomers an early warning of a nearby supernova.

So far there has been only one observed instance of core collapse
neutrino emission: for SN1987A in the LMC, two
water Cherenkov detectors, IMB and Kamiokande II, observed a total of 19
neutrino interactions between them (Hirata et al. 1987; Bionta et al. 1987). Two scintillator detector observations were
also reported (Alekseev et al. 1987; Aglietta et al. 1987).  The water
Cherenkov neutrinos were
recorded 2.5 hours before the first light was observed from the
supernova; however the neutrino signal was only retrieved from data
tapes after the fact.  Next time we will do better.  An early
observation of the supernova light curve turn-on will bring
information about the progenitor and its environment, which can in
turn feed back to neutrino physics.  The aim of SNEWS is to
provide the astronomical community with an early warning of a
supernova's occurrence, as well as to improve global sensitivity to a
supernova neutrino burst via inter-experiment collaboration.

\section{Neutrino detectors}

Because neutrinos interact so weakly, in spite of their huge flux,
enormous detectors are required to see a substantial signal.
Typically about a kiloton of target material is required to observe a
few hundred interactions.  This limits the distance sensitivity of
terrestrial neutrino detectors to the Milky Way neighborhood: the
largest neutrino detectors of the current generation have a range
of a few hundred kpc.  The typical distance to the next nearby supernova
will be 10-15 kpc (Mirizzi, Raffelt \& Serpico 2006).  The next
generation of megaton-mass-scale detectors may reach Mpc distance
sensitivity, extending reach to Andromeda and other Local Group
galaxies.

We can expect a Milky Way core collapse about every 30 years.
Perhaps one in six supernovae will stand out obviously,
and some may never become optically bright.  However,
with current technology spanning an enormous range
of electromagnetic wavelengths, and including gravitational wave sensitivity,
even supernovae that fizzle may be detectable in some channel.

A number of neutrino detectors are in existence worldwide.  Typically,
detectors must be underground for cosmic ray shielding.
Most existing supernova neutrino detectors exploit the inverse beta
decay interaction of electron antineutrinos on free protons,
$\bar{\nu}_e+ p \rightarrow n + e^+$, where the energy loss of the
positron is detected, sometimes followed by neutron-capture gammas.
The rate of this reaction is relatively large compared to other
neutrino interactions in this energy regime.  Furthermore, detectors
with large numbers of free protons, such as those made of hydrocarbon
or water, can be constructed cheaply.  Note that predominance of inverse
beta decay as the
main detection channel means that primary sensitivity is to
electron antineutrinos, which are only
one component of the flux.

The main supernova neutrino detector types are:
\begin{itemize}

\item \underline{Scintillation detectors}: such detectors consist of large
volumes of hydrocarbon, C$_n$H$_{2n}$. Organic scintillating materials
produce light when charged particles lose energy in them,
and the resulting photons are picked up by photomultiplier tubes.
Scintillation light is isotropically emitted, so directional detection
is not generally possible even for asymmetric processes.
Examples of currently running scintillation detectors
are LVD and Borexino in Italy, KamLAND in Japan, and Baksan in Russia.

\item \underline{Water Cherenkov detectors}: these employ ultrapure water.  Neutrino-induced charged particles
move faster than the speed
of light in water and produce Cherenkov radiation; as
for scintillation detectors, the Cherenkov photons are
picked up by photomultipliers.   Although most
interactions in a water detector
are inverse beta decay processes, a small fraction will be elastic
scattering of neutrinos from atomic
electrons, $\nu + e^- \rightarrow \nu + e^-$.  This
process is of particular interest because the electrons are
kicked in the direction the neutrinos are traveling;
because Cherenkov radiation is directional,
these scattering interactions offer a means of knowing the
direction of the supernova (see section~\ref{warning}).
Super-Kamiokande in Japan is currently the only instance
of a large water Cherenkov detector; with a 50 kiloton mass,
it is currently the most sensitive of the world's supernova neutrino
detectors.

\item \underline{Long string water Cherenkov detectors}:
although detectors built
of long strings of photomultiplier tubes embedded in water or ice
are primarily designed for high energy ($>$ GeV) neutrinos, some
are capable of observing diffuse photons from inverse beta decays
in ice or water
as a coincident increase of count rates in many
 photomultipliers (Halzen, Jacobsen \& Zas 1995).
AMANDA/IceCube at the South Pole has Galactic sensitivity.

\item \underline{Other supernova neutrino detectors}: other target
materials can be used for supernova neutrino detection,
and a number of novel detectors are proposed or under construction.
Liquid argon has excellent potential for $\nu_e$ tagging,
and proposed detectors based on lead or iron will have good
sensitivity to neutrino flavors other than $\bar{\nu}_e$.
See Scholberg (2007) for a review of current
and future supernova neutrino detection.

\end{itemize}

\section{Considerations for the early warning}\label{warning}

What we want from an early warning can be summarized as ``The 3 P'''s:

\begin{itemize}

\item \underline{``Prompt''}: time is of the essence for a supernova early warning;
we are essentially racing the shock wave.
A key factor in a prompt warning is the requirement of a
coincidence between detectors, since it allows an automated alert.
Any individual detector's signal requires human checking, which
can slow things down.  Automated coincidence alerts on a timescale
of minutes have been demonstrated.

\item \underline{``Pointing''}: obviously, the better one can point to the location
of the supernova, the more likely it is that the supernova will be found promptly.
Unfortunately, pointing in neutrinos (Beacom \& Vogel 1998)
 is difficult: the best bet will be
to make use of neutrino-electron elastic scattering interactions,
$\nu + e^- \rightarrow \nu + e^-$, for which the kicked electron points away from
the source.  This is a few percent of the total signal. Super-K's
pointing will be a few degrees for a Galactic center event.  No other existing
detectors have directional capability.  Triangulation
using timing of signals at different detectors around the
globe is in principle
possible, but is in practice too difficult with expected statistics.
Millisecond precision is needed, and we expect
$10^3-10^4$ interactions spread out over tens of seconds.

\item \underline{``Positive''}: here the criterion is to have very few false alerts
(see also section~\ref{discussion}):  we aim for fewer than
one accidental coincidence per century.
The coincidence requirement is essential here. We require, for
a 2 out of 3 coincidence, that each individual experiment's false alarm rate
does not exceed about one per week.

\end{itemize}

\section{SNEWS implementation and status}

SNEWS, the Supernova Early Warning System
(Antonioli et al. 2004), aims to address all of the above criteria.  The
implementation is relatively simple.  Each individual neutrino
experiment implements its own neutrino burst monitoring system,
tailored to the features of that experiment, with interesting burst
criteria defined by each experimental collaboration.  A ``client'' at
each experiment sends out an alert datagram if a sufficiently
interesting burst of neutrino interaction candidates is found.
A ``coincidence server''
waits for datagrams from each experiment's clients. If the server finds a
coincidence within 10 seconds, then it sends out an alert to the
SNEWS alert mailing list.  Astronomers can sign up for the SNEWS
alert mailing list at \texttt{snews.bnl.gov}.  SNEWS has been running in
automated mode since 2004 (and in a non-automated mode since 1999).

We classify alerts as ``gold'' and ``silver'': gold alerts go
directly to the astronomical community, whereas silver ones go
to experimenters only.  A gold alert requires that a number of quality
checks be satisfied, and also that experiments involved
in the coincidence
do not have a recent history of sending alarms at an higher than
usual rate.  Silver alerts may be upgraded after human checking.

Individual experiments may also use the SNEWS
alert infrastructure for human-checked (hence slower) confirmed alerts.
Figure~\ref{fig:flowchart} shows our current flowchart, updated
since Antonioli (2004) was published.

 \begin{figure}[htbp]

 \vspace{0.2in}
 \caption{\label{fig:flowchart}
 Flowchart summarizing the
 sequence of events and decisions that determine whether an
 alert is GOLD, SILVER (or INDIVIDUAL).}
 \end{center}
 \end{figure}

Our main coincidence server runs at Brookhaven National Lab and a
backup server is also kept running at the U. of Bologna.  The datagram
protocol is SSL-encrypted TCP/IP, and server's alert output is
PGP-signed email.

The experiments currently participating
in SNEWS are Super-Kamiokande in Japan (Ikeda et al. 2007),
LVD (Aglietta et al. 1992)
in Italy, and IceCube/AMANDA (Ahrens et al.)
at the South Pole.
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in Canada (Virtue 2001)
participated until it completed its running phase in 2006.
We expect future experiments to join
as they come online.

Amateur astronomers are an integral part of SNEWS.  They have wide area
viewing capability, enthusiasm and expertise. In the absence of
precise neutrino-derived pointing information, amateurs may be the first to
pinpoint the supernova location.  \textit{Sky and Telescope} magazine provides
an AstroAlert mailing list to reach amateur astronomers and serves as
a clearinghouse for amateur responses: \\
(\texttt{www.skyandtelescope.com/resources/\\
proamcollab/AstroAlert.html}).
A successful amateur test was performed in February 2003, for which a
known fake target (the asteroid Vesta) was selected and a tagged fake
alert sent via the AstroAlert list.  This demonstrated
timely and accurate response from amateurs worldwide.

It should be technically straightforward to expand the SNEWS alert output
to communicate with robotic telescope networks.  Although
pointing information may be poor or unavailable, telescopes
with wide fields of view may be able to respond appropriately.
We plan to implement VOEvent protocol alert output in the near future.

\section{Discussion}\label{discussion}

We are often asked by astronomers why SNEWS does not turn thresholds down
so as to get a higher rate of false alerts; this
would improve sensitivity, exercise
the system, and keep interest high. \footnote{We have in fact performed
a high rate test, as reported in Antonioli et al. (2004).  However we
require very low
false alert rate for output to the wider community.}
 The answer is primarily
sociological.  In the community represented at this workshop, there is
high tolerance for ``junk'' alerts; astronomers are awash in data and
the main problem is to sift the interesting information from the
copious noise.  However, in the neutrino community, because true
events are so rare, there is strong
inhibition against issuing any kind of false alerts.  Furthermore,
decrease in threshold yields only modest increase in sensitivity--
most detectors are already sensitive to the entire Galaxy and moderate
improvement does not bring many new candidate stars into range.
Since the dearth
of data makes it all the more urgent to gather any information one can when
the supernova actually does happen, the SNEWS network's problem
becomes one of maintaining readiness during decades-long data-less
deserts.  Well-tagged, well-advertised
fake alerts are one way of maintaining interest
and ability to react.

\section{Summary}

In summary,
the key points of relevance for astronomers
interested in transients are as
follows:

\begin{itemize}

\item The neutrino signal for a core collapse event precedes its
electromagnetic fireworks by hours, or perhaps tens of hours.
\item The burst of neutrinos itself lasts tens of seconds.
\item The pointing from the neutrinos
will be a few degrees in an optimistic case.  There may be no pointing
information at all, or the pointing information may be not be available
immediately.
\item Currently running experiments are sensitive to a core collapse
in the Milky Way, or just beyond.  The next generation of detectors may reach
to Mpc range.
\item A few Galactic supernovae are expected per century.
\item SNEWS is online, and can provide an alert within minutes
of a Galactic core collapse. Anyone
may sign up for the automated SNEWS mailing list.
We hope to expand the alert soon
to VOEvent-based networks.

\end{itemize}

Prominent nucleoli are an important feature in the diagnosis of prostate cancer on needle biopsies. Many nuclei in this image show one or more eccentric nucleoli. However, one has to be cautious. The diagnosis should not rest solely on the presence or absence of prominent nucleoli. A number of variables come into play that can mask nucleoli in malignant glands or show punctate nucleoli in benign mimics.

About the Soul Rescuer Practice
My work is focussed on Self-Awareness and Healing during which I utilise Shamanic Healing Techniques. This method helps to resolve negative belief systems whereby we not only heal our own emotional pain but that of our ancestors and prevent destructive patterns for future generations.
Welcome to The Soul Rescuer Practitioner
My healing method is based on proven clinical techniques, self-awareness and Shamanic spiritual healing. During your treatment sessions we will look at your thoughts and feelings and how these may affect your life positively or negatively. The aim of this is to address and heal unhealthy belief systems which may not be in alignment with who you truly are. For example, feelings of unworthiness may have resulted in you creating a defence mechanism by becoming dutiful and un-assertive. On the other hand, you may have created the opposite, feelings of unworthiness may have resulted in you becoming manipulative and abusive. Either way, your subsequent behaviour is a likely survival strategy which has now left you feeling stressed, depressed or worst of all made you ill.
It is my experience that generally people rely on others to tell them what they need to do. It is therefore essential for the individual to address the emotional and behavioural issues to regain self-worth, confidence and life purpose.
Firstly, we will look at your feelings and how they affect your life. We look at emotional themes and identify whether they are underpinned by ancestral influences or past life experience, or both.
The Shaman understands that on the other side of life there's only life. Shamanic wisdom tells us that after death the physical body goes back to the earth, our knowledge returns to the mountains, and our essence or soul returns to the stars.
Most of us may not even make the association or realise that our depression or ill health is the direct consequence of a false belief system. This false belief system is usually developed in our childhood through copied behaviour and by not dealing with our emotional pain.
Generations long we were shown by example on how to suppress, cope and react when feeling emotional pain, continuing an endless cycle of not knowing how to take care of ourselves. Furthermore, most of us were told not to trust our intuition but to listen to our logical minds due to unconscious fear of the consequences that we inherited from our ancestors and our past life experiences. By healing your internal wounds, you not only automatically release the wounds of those affected ancestors but also prevent unnecessary suffering for future generations of your family tree.

Kansas City Starts Initiative To End Traffic Deaths Despite Speedbumps Shown In Other U.S. Cities
Cars travel under a landmark railroad viaduct in Kansas City, Mo. (Charlie Riedel/AP)
The pandemic might have kept many drivers off the streets, but it didn't put a dent in traffic fatalities.
More than 42,000 people died in car accidents despite emptier roads in 2020, the National Safety Council says. That's an 8% increase from 2019, and it doesn't seem to be getting much better in 2021.
Cities around the country are trying to tackle the issue. Kansas City, Missouri, is the latest to take on the "Vision Zero" plan, vowing to reach zero traffic deaths by 2030.
"We did have a little bit of a spike during the pandemic," Kansas City City Manager Brian Platt says. "We think because there was less traffic on the roads and an easier opportunity to engage in dangerous behavior."
Platt says a 20% rise in traffic fatalities and serious injuries over the last 10 years pushed city leaders to adopt the Vision Zero resolution. He helped announce the city's initiative last month.
"It became all the more urgent when I arrived here about six months ago to put this at the top of the priority list," says Platt, who also helped launch a Vision Zero plan in Jersey City, New Jersey, as its former city manager and business administrator.
The city's action plan will include focusing on extending curbs into intersections and delaying red light traffic signals. Curb extensions shorten the distance pedestrians and cyclists travel and decrease the risk of coming in contact with a car. Adding leading pedestrian indicators (LPI) delays red lights and gives pedestrians and cyclists a little more time to cross intersections.
"A lot of the crashes occur right at the curb line where visibility is the lowest for vehicles and for pedestrians," he says. "Getting those pedestrians out into the center of the street actually makes them more visible to cars and reduces the chances for that type of interaction."
However, cities that have adopted Vision Zero strategies and plans have seen mixed results, with most seeing traffic fatalities rates take a turn for the worst.
In 2014, New York City became the first U.S. city to adopt the Vision Zero policy that was first implemented in Sweden, another primarily foot traffic location. The city vowed to see zero traffic deaths by 2024. The Federal Highway Administration deemed the first four years after the launch of New York City's Vision Zero as the safest period for traffic collisions. The city has an overall decrease of 26% in traffic-related deaths. However, it's since seen a surge, with 2020 being marked as its deadliest year.
Austin, Texas, adopted their Vision Zero policy in 2016 with an aim to have zero traffic deaths by 2025, a goal city auditors later determined was unlikely. Last year marked the highest number of traffic deaths for the city in the past five years.
"It's hard to look at the high-level data [from] a city-wide perspective and see the change," Platt says. "That's because a lot of these treatments occur at a very hyperlocal level. When you look at those intersections, the data is positive."
A 2017 University of Pennsylvania study found Black pedestrians are more likely to experience a traffic fatality death. Kansas City holds a similar disparity. Black residents in Kansas City make up 28% of the city's population, yet the police report Black pedestrians made up 35% of traffic fatalities in April 2021.
"We're doing enough community engagement and feedback to make sure that we're hearing from the people who are using the streets the most and understanding exactly where the challenges are in each particular neighborhood," Platt says.
But the question still stands: Is achieving zero traffic deaths even possible? Platt says it's a feasible goal but also an aspirational one. It will take the city a while to address every intersection, curve and angle of its 318 square/sq. miles.
"I don't think there is a city out there that would say, 'Let's set a goal of only 10 deaths a year or 20 deaths a year,' " he says. "I don't think that anyone would ever want to set a goal that doesn't quite get all the way there."
Kansas City's aim for zero traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030 is not too far into the future. But the ambitious Vision Zero plan focuses on redesigning street infrastructure to eliminate pedestrian death and injury — not one that relies on drivers to change their habits.
"We hope that these types of implementations and redesigns will be the new standard," Platt says. "That no longer will we have to go back to intersections and revisit them and make tweaks."

Walters will be a special assistant to the Wolf Pack's head coach, Eric Musselman. He was most recently an assistant for the Detroit Pistons.
The Nevada basketball staff continues to grow to record heights.
After adding former Nevada point guard Todd Okeson to the staff earlier this week, the Wolf Pack added Rex Walters, a two-time college head coach who was most recently employed by the Detroit Pistons, on Thursday as a special assistant to head coach Eric Musselman. He is the 17th member of Nevada's staff.
"When we started the search for this position, we set a few parameters that were important to our program," Musselman said in a news release. "First and foremost, we wanted to find someone who had prior head coaching experience. This trait has been something that has served our program both on and off the court very well.
"We also wanted to find someone that had NBA playing and possibly coaching experience, and with Rex, we were able to accomplish both. Since the moment he stepped on campus, he has hit the ground running. We are extremely excited to add Rex's basketball knowledge and acumen to our staff. He is a tremendous asset to our staff and program as a whole."
Walters played his prep ball in San Jose before stints at Northwestern and Kansas, where he helped the Jayhawks to the 1993 Final Four. Walters was the No. 16 pick of the 1993 draft and played seven NBA seasons and 10 pro seasons overall. After retiring from playing in 2003, Walters began his coaching career at the college level.
He was an assistant at Valparaiso (2003-05) and Florida Atlantic (2005-06) before becoming FAU's head coach, posting a 31-33 record in two seasons. He was then hired as the head coach at the University of San Francisco, where he went 126-125 overall and 63-65 in conference from 2008-16 despite continuous attrition in the program. Walters was named the West Coast Conference's coach of the year in 2014 after leading his team to a 21-12 record and NIT berth.
After being fired by USF, the 48-year-old jumped to the pro ranks where he was the head coach of the Grand Rapids Drive – the Detroit Pistons' G League affiliate – in 2016-17 when the team went 26-24. Walters was promoted to Stan Van Gundy's Pistons' staff last season but wasn't retained this year after Van Gundy was fired.
Walters, who was under contract with the Pistons this season, was praised for his player development by Van Gundy.
"Rex brings great basketball knowledge and experience and does a great job of developing young players," Van Gundy said in a news release when hiring Walters. "We were very happy with the way he worked with our young Pistons players last season when they were on assignment in Grand Rapids.
Walters and his wife, Deanna have five children, Addison, Drew, Riley, Gunner and Ace.

I have been in search of an excellent dentist after having a bad experience.
I really needed a lot of work done and I was terrified of just walking in the door never mind being in the waiting room.
After visiting different dentists that I just didn't like, a good friend of mine suggested that I call Alex McCubbin at the English Dental Practice.
I immediately called to make an appointment and the rest, as they say, is "History". Alex and his staff are extremely professional, friendly, understanding and competent. I decided or rather needed all my top teeth removed and replaced with new ones. This was a big decision, but I knew that I was in GREAT hands with Alex. After the entire process was completed I still cannot stop looking at my teeth many times a day. I feel more confident about myself, in my office and personally I am thrilled.
You can search your whole life through finding a great dentist, but if you are reading this, your search is over – The English Dental Practice is the place for you.

I finished Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and felt like something of a failure. This is an incredibly well put together experience, and I -- a guy whose job it is to have interesting thoughts about games -- have no real interesting thoughts about Hellblade. I just know that I enjoyed what I played even if I'm not necessarily sure why I enjoyed it.
I'd be going through something of a crisis if I were tasked with reviewing Hellblade. I wouldn't know the right combination of words to describe the use of psychosis that permeates every breathing second of the game. It feels sincere and legitimate. Protagonist Senua is mentally ill and finding a way to cope with that is a major part of her arc. Video games always cater to a traditional power fantasy of becoming physically stronger; not many games bother to show the struggle of becoming mentally stronger.
But, because of the psychosis, I'm not sure how much of Hellblade I could trust. There's not a single quiet or dull moment. There's this never-ceasing push and pull of voices in Senua's head. If one is ecstatic that she's doing something right, there's always a counterbalance of another telling her she's set herself up to fail. It's exhausting.
So much of Hellblade relies on perspective, and perspective seems like it's always malleable. Whereas you can't trust the voices in Senua's head, you also can't trust what she sees. Large swaths of the game are rooted in manipulating the environment through illusion and alternate viewpoints. Senua kind of just has to press forward, regardless of whether her surroundings make any logical sense.
Toward the end, Senua is stalked by a particularly fearsome beast -- all culminating in a really great boss battle (don't click that link if you don't want to know who/what you fight and how it plays out). It's probably the most dangerous situation she has encountered in all of Hellblade, but it doesn't necessarily feel like she's especially vulnerable. Virtually all of Senua's entire life has been spent in vulnerability. Now that she's figuring out how to deal with it, she's better-equipped than ever to fight the uniquely terrifying things she stumbles across.
Last week, Hellblade cleaned up at BAFTA's British Academy Game Awards. It won 5 of the 16 categories -- Artistic Achievement, Audio Achievement, British Game, Game Beyond Entertainment, and Performer (for Melina Juergens' performance in the lead role). They're deserved victories, especially considering the spirit of each category. Hellblade is a visual and aural assault that's as discombobulating as it is impressive.
Hellblade is worthy of all the praise it got. I just don't know that I'll ever fully process how I feel about it.


A bite from a Death Adder can be almost painless. You may be bitten and envenominated without knowing it. This snake will not try to escape, but stay where it is and try to hide. If you come too close or even step on it, you will be bitten.
Members of this genus are short, squat terrestrial snakes. These snakes are true ambush hunters.

This medication is used to treat "iron-poor" blood (iron deficiency anemia). Low iron levels can occur due to many conditions, including when your body cannot get enough iron from food (because of poor nutrition or poor absorption) or when there is long-term blood loss. Ferric carboxymaltose is a form of injectable iron that is used if you cannot take iron by mouth because of side effects or an unsuccessful response to treatment. It is also used by people who have anemia due to long-term kidney disease. Iron is an important mineral that your body needs to make enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout your body.
