CDRC 2016 – Arriving in Vienna
By Aled Davies June 28, 2016
CDRC Vienna 2016
The Consensual Dispute Resolution Competition Vienna is an exciting newcomer to the world of international negotiation and mediation competitions. Inspired by the success of the Willem C Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot, the CDRC was created to offer a similar experience for those interested in consensual dispute resolution methods, such as negotiation and mediation.
The idea is simple: 30 teams of select students from around the world competing in an epic tournament to determine the most skilled negotiators and mediators among them. 50 of the top mediation and negotiation experts from around the world are present to judge, assess and provide feedback. The competition takes place over a total of 7 rounds with more than 50 sessions. Awards are given to the top mediators and negotiators respectively, as assessed by the expert panels of judges.
Outside of the tournament itself, competitors are able to enjoy daily social events, networking and training opportunities with a host of experts, taking place in the recently opened campus of the University of Economics and Business Vienna.
Aled Davies, founder of MediatorAcademy.com, is an expert assessor at the competition. This is the first in a series of vlogs where Aled will catch up with some of the other expert assessors and participants in the tournament, all filmed directly from Vienna.
Posted by Aled Davies
Mediator Academy is an online education platform for improving the skills, knowledge and effectiveness of mediators and students in dispute resolution.

Web applications provide platforms so wide open that they defy the very structure and predictability that make test automation feasible. Object names are optional, can be duplicated, and may change at a moment's notice. Page layouts can change between and within builds. This wicked combination makes test automation even more difficult, if not downright impossible. Linda Hayes explains the importance of unique, consistent object names in Web development.
Losing your job is never easy, but the way you handle the experience has a direct impact on the results that you'll be able to achieve. Being laid off can make you question your abilities, but you have to roll with the punches, and enjoy your time off while you're looking for the next opportunity.
When Pat McGee couldn't find the right tool for the job, he and his team wrote one in Visual Basic for Applications for Microsoft Excel. They used Excel for all the data entry and calculations. Several groups in the project ended up using the tool–including testers, developers, and database administrators. Read how they did it.
A look at the HTML source code behind Web sites can often reveal security issues that would never be uncovered by those blissfully ignorant of the code. This bug report will examine two common methods of maintaining state and passing data in Web-based systems–hidden form fields and the HTTP GET method–and demonstrate some of the associated security risks through an examination of HTML code.
Agile processes are founded on an empirical model of process control theory, and they deliver value iteratively and incrementally. Customers and development teams collaborate to wrest the greatest value from advanced technologies and emerging requirements, which practitioners call "value-driven" software development. Here, the developer of the agile process Scrum gives his recommendations for sources on agile processes.
Producing regular test status reports makes your progress—and problems—visible to those outside your group. Here's how spending a couple of hours a week on gathering and reporting results can be crucial to your software development team's success.
Use cases have experienced a long and sometimes rocky history. Look back on the evolution of use cases to better understand how to use them today.

Built on the sound principles of conservation, community, environment, education & sustainable economic growth, Eco-tourism is much more than a buzzword today. It has enabled lesser-known destinations to reach out to travellers, while nourishing local communities & reducing the negative impacts of tourism. Shrinking travel times & costs have made visiting popular destinations today a rather hectic holiday experience, driving the more discerning travel tribes to embrace Ecotourism destinations with a difference, that offer a relaxing & enriching experience.
Impact of the digital age The internet has been the biggest enabler, transforming the way we search & access information forever. However, the information linked to ecotourism options & access to it mostly not easy to come by. It is rare to find credible information that is readily available via the most commonly used online travel search tools used by travellers. Needless to say when they do stumble upon such information, it is unstructured (not packaged) & in most cases does not allow the traveller to book, pay & confirm activities or accommodation instantaneously. It is critical to note that today's travellers search & purchase behavior is conditioned by the online market place. A fast paced & dynamic domain where the conversion of clicks to purchases is bordering on the fringe of, if not already a science. Are ecotourism destinations, projects & businesses taking the right approach to leverage available technology, to effectively inspire & engage travellers?
This situation of lack of visibility & ability to actively engage with the travellers can make the best eco-tourism options become the best-kept secrets. This, in an increasing number of cases creates problems, starved of actual tourist arrivals & unable to deliver on the promised socio-economic returns to communities involved, eco-tourism destinations often find their voices drowned out in the din of a crowded global travel bazaar.
Global tourism industry – large, dynamic & complex Employing almost 10% of world population (Direct & Indirect), representing over 9% of the global GDP and growing at a rapid pace, the global tourism market is large, dynamic, complex with multiple layers, service providers & stakeholders. At the centre of this industry ecosystem is the all-powerful traveller that drives the industry forward, with new demands & trends. It is therefore no surprise that an Eco-tourism project that does not focus on effectively engaging the traveller, is inevitably going to struggle to achieve its objectives.
Driving ecotourism, through active traveller engagement Ecotourism cements sustainable tourism development. The benefits of ecotourism are possibly most evident within emerging markets who are most vulnerable to the adverse impacts of a tourism. However, one can only realise the true power of ecotourism by complimenting it with a plan to engage, innovate & inspire the traveller, via technology they are familiar with & on a platform they search & shop.
Know your traveller type, look beyond the plain demographics. Not everyone fits in a box anymore & there are new traveller tribes emerging frequently.
Learn of their search & shopping habits, key influencers, purchase triggers to preferred payment methods. Only once you know their behavior can you actively engage them.
Ensure you are effectively engaging via both online & offline channels. This is no longer a nice to have but mission critical.
Partner, educate & empower travel intermediaries i.e. Travel agents, Destination management companies, Online travel agencies and more to effectively communicate & inspire travellers to engage in ecotourism.
Don't follow the beaten track, adapt & evolve with your target traveller type.
Go beyond the traditional distribution channels & partners. Leverage technology & harness the power of social & digital marketing to communicate & reach new travellers.
Remember, practice makes perfect so don't be shy to experiment. Failure is the first step to success.
Not looking for just another holiday but for inspiration. Create & communicate your story effectively so that the travellers can not only understand & appreciate the experience but in turn inspire other travellers.
Enable travellers to be part of something larger, a cause, an experience, a community & they will love you for it.
It is time that we compliment the efforts of the environment, community, and sustainability guru's involved in structuring the ecotourism projects with travel industry expertise. Travel experts with first hand experience need to be involved from the initial stages of the project so they can shape the traveller engagement platform. This is today a must have, as the true success of a project lies in its ability to deliver on the socio-economic promise, demonstrate change to involved communities & provide an unforgettable experience to travellers.

We've all seen it in movies, TV shows and even some of our friends – they're wearing shoes inside their home. While you may have friends that do it, or you walk inside your home with your shoes on, this might be ruining your health.
Australia is one of those countries where it's not a mass practice to wear shoes inside, but some people still do it.
The truth is, you're contaminating your home, bringing in toxins from the outside and potentially harming yourself and your family.

New Yorkers Paint Massive 'F*** Cuomo And De Blasio' Mural On Street: Report
Ryan Saavedra
New Yorkers reportedly painted a massive mural on a street in Brooklyn on Saturday to voice their displeasure with top Democrat leaders in the state.
The mural specifically targeted New York Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio with the following message: "F*** Cuomo And De Blasio."
"The not-so-subtle shout-out to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio went up around 1 a.m. Saturday on North 15th Street between Wythe Avenue and Banker Street in Williamsburg, during the waning hours of an annual block party which this year doubled as a 'small business owner protest,'" the New York Post reported. "The all-caps, block-length message was in the style of city-sanctioned projects reading 'Black Lives Matter' that sprang up during the summer's fierce protests over police bias and racial injustice — including one outside Manhattan's Trump Tower, which has become a vandalism magnet."
"A few partygoers got the idea to paint in huge [letters, using] yellow paint with rollers on North 15th, 'F–k Cuomo and de Blasio,'" a person told the New York Post. "The party continued. Everyone took photos. It was a big hit. The crowds cheered, even the cops chuckled."

The news comes as the Department of Justice designated New York City as an "anarchist jurisdiction" on Monday for allowing violent riots while trying to defund law enforcement.
The DOJ released the following criteria for evaluating whether a U.S. city is an "anarchist jurisdiction":
Whether a jurisdiction forbids the police force from intervening to restore order amid widespread or sustained violence or destruction.
Whether a jurisdiction has withdrawn law enforcement protection from a geographical area or structure that law enforcement officers are lawfully entitled to access but have been officially prevented from accessing or permitted to access only in exceptional circumstances, except when law enforcement officers are briefly withheld as a tactical decision intended to resolve safely and expeditiously a specific and ongoing unlawful incident posing an imminent threat to the safety of individuals or law enforcement officers.
Whether a jurisdiction disempowers or defunds police departments.
Whether a jurisdiction unreasonably refuses to accept offers of law enforcement assistance from the Federal Government.
Any other related factors the Attorney General deems appropriate.
The department gave the following summary about New York City:
Shootings in New York City have been on the rise since looting and protests began on or about May 28, 2020. For July 2020, shootings increased from 88 to 244, an increase of 177% over July 2019. In August 2020, shootings increased from 91 to 242, a 166% increase over August 2019.
While the city faced increased unrest, gun violence, and property damage, the New York City Council cut $1 billion from NYPD's FY21 budget.
The budget resulted in the cancellation of the new police recruiting class, cuts to overtime spending, and the transfer of certain police functions, including school safety, out of the NYPD.
Meanwhile, the Manhattan and Brooklyn District Attorneys have declined to prosecute charges of disorderly conduct and unlawful assembly arising from the protests, and the District Attorneys in Queens and the Bronx have declined to prosecute other protest-related charges.
Both Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo have forcefully rejected federal law enforcement support.
This report has been updated to include additional information.

It takes Jean Moulton about four minutes to navigate the four steps at her Langley home. (Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance)
Volunteer crew ready to build ramps for B.C. amputee
Jean Moulton will soon have an easier time getting in and out of her home.
Matthew Claxton
Sep. 18, 2018 10:10 a.m.
Some Good Samaritans will come together to build wheelchair ramps for a Langley woman, after a provincial program ran out of funding to help her.
"I think it's awesome," Jean Moulton said. "There are some nice people that are out there."
Moulton reached out to the Langley Advance last week after she was denied funding from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, run by BC Housing.
The reason for the denial was simply that by the time Moulton got her required paperwork and home inspections done by the end of August, the $5 million program had run out of money for the year.
Moulton, who lost one arm and one leg to blood clots following a workplace injury, had moved to a manufactured home in Brookswood this spring from a second-floor apartment. She was hoping to find a safer place to live – one where she wouldn't be trapped if the elevator shut down.
Instead she found herself waiting and waiting for funding that didn't come. The next applications for a HAFI-style program won't be until spring of 2019.
READ MORE: Lack of government funding leaves Langley double amputee struggling
Moulton has spent the past few months struggling up and down four steps on her home on a prosthetic leg. Wheelchair ramps will make her safer and more self-reliant, she said.
After her story appeared online, Daniel Fedosenko of Mr. Home Inspector and contractor Shawn Reid saw the story and decided to help out.
The two have already been out to Moulton's home to measure it, and they are now assembling supplies – many of them donated – and a large pool of volunteer labour.
"We've got about 15 guys who want to come together," Fedosenko said.
It won't cost Moulton a thing, he said.
It's a huge relief for the Langley woman, who will soon be able to use a scooter or wheelchair to get in and out of her home.
She said she hopes this also raises awareness of the many other people around B.C. who need help with accessibility and can't afford renovations.
"I'm sure there was a lot of other people besides me who got cut off too," Moulton said.

CFIUS Proposed Rules Firm up Plans for New Scrutiny of Foreign Investment
By John P. Barker John B. Bellinger, III Charles A. Blanchard Ronald D. Lee Nancy L. Perkins Nicholas L. Townsend Tom McSorley Trevor G. Schmitt
On September 24, 2019, the Department of the Treasury, as Chair of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), published two proposed rules implementing the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA).1 The proposed rules addressed here would implement FIRRMA's expansion of CFIUS's jurisdiction with respect to foreign investments in US businesses involved with critical infrastructure or maintaining certain categories of sensitive personal information. In a separate advisory, we address the new proposed rules providing CFIUS with enhanced jurisdiction to review foreign investments in certain real estate transactions.2
The proposed rules are open for public comment through October 24, 2019. That provides only a short window of time to comment on what are two lengthy, detailed, and critically important proposals that will affect a wide range of foreign investment transactions in the United States for likely years to come.
Background: What Did FIRMMA and the Pilot Program Do?
FIRRMA, which was enacted in 2018, provides extensive new authority to CFIUS to review foreign investments in US businesses and recommend action by the President, under Section 721 of the Defense Authorization Act (Section 721), to block or otherwise interfere with such investments.3 Through interim regulations published in October 2018, some of the FIRRMA reforms were implemented almost immediately, including through a "Pilot Program" making it mandatory to inform CFIUS in advance of certain investments in US businesses involved in the production of "critical technologies."4 But that left many of the FIRRMA provisions unaddressed, and the new proposed rules, with some exceptions, aim to fully implement the statute.
Among other things, FIRRMA did the following:
It expanded CFIUS's jurisdiction from only transactions resulting in foreign "control" over a US business to "other investments" that do not result in such control but give a foreign person an equity interest in and certain rights regarding US businesses dealing with "critical technologies," "critical infrastructure" or "sensitive personal data" of US citizens.
It required CFIUS to specify criteria to limit the application of Section 721 with respect to "other investments" made by certain categories of foreign persons.
It made pre-closing submissions to CFIUS mandatory for some foreign investments, whereas previously filings with CFIUS had been made almost exclusively on a voluntary basis.
It authorized filing fees for submitting notices to CFIUS.
It lengthened the period for CFIUS's review of notices from 30 to 45 days, leaving in place the 45-day period for investigations deemed necessary following the review of a notice.
It added specific authority for CFIUS to scrutinize non-control transactions involving foreign investments in real estate.
The Pilot Program rules, as described in detail in our prior advisory,5 went into effect in November 2018 and require mandatory "declarations" to be submitted to CFIUS at least 45 days prior to an investment resulting either in control by or special rights for a foreign investor in a US business involved in the production of "critical technologies." Those rules are scheduled to sunset when the new proposed rules become effective in final form.
What are the key aspects of the new proposed FIRRMA non-real estate rules?
Covered Investments
As noted, FIRRMA added to Section 721's "covered transactions" any "other investment" (i.e., a noncontrolling investment) by a foreign person in a US business that (i) owns, operates, manufactures, supplies, or services "critical infrastructure"; (ii) produces, designs, tests, manufactures, fabricates, or develops one or more "critical technologies"; or (iii) maintains or collects sensitive personal data of US citizens that may be exploited in a manner that threatens national security. Under the proposed rules, these types of transactions are termed "covered investments," and the US businesses that are the subjects of "covered investments" are termed "TID US Businesses" ("TID" being an acronym for "Technology, Infrastructure, and Data").
Covered Investments in Critical Technologies. Generally, the proposed rules do not develop CFIUS' rules around covered investments in "critical technologies" beyond the interim rules establishing the Pilot Program. As stated in the preamble to the proposed rules, CFIUS is continuing to evaluate the Pilot Program rules and the comments it received when it published those rules. Further, Treasury is now specifically soliciting additional comments on the retention of the mandatory declaration requirement for transactions that are "Pilot Program covered transactions" under those rules.
Covered Investments in Critical infrastructure. The Pilot Program rules did not address FIRRMA's provisions regarding non-controlling foreign investments in a US business that "owns, operates, manufactures, supplies, or services critical infrastructure." The proposed rules do so by creating a matrix for determining if a US business is a TID US business for purposes of "critical infrastructure" covered investments. Specifically, the proposed rules include two tables that, respectively: (1) list numerous types of critical infrastructure (e.g., certain internet protocol networks, certain interstate oil pipelines, certain financial market utilities that have been designated as systemically important by the federal Financial Stability Oversight Council, any facility manufacturing certain metals, chemicals, or non-commercially available "off-the-shelf" industrial resources) and (2) list types of functions related to such infrastructure (e.g., owning, operating, manufacturing such infrastructure). A US business that performs any one of the specified functions in table 2 with respect to a type of infrastructure listed in table 1 is a TID US business for purposes of critical infrastructure covered investments.6 Both tables are highly detailed and Treasury will consider comments on whether any item listed in either table should be modified, removed, or whether additional items should be added.
Covered Investments in a U.S. Business That Maintains or Collects Sensitive Data for Certain Purposes. The third type of TID US business—a US business that maintains or collects "sensitive personal data" of US citizens that "may be exploited in a manner that threatens national security"—also was not addressed in the Pilot Program rules. The proposed rules define "sensitive personal data" as "identifiable data" of certain specified types, if the US business that maintains or collect such data (i) targets or tailors its products or services to a US executive branch agency or military department with intelligence, national security, or homeland security responsibilities, or to personnel and contractors thereof; (ii) has maintained or collected such data on greater than one million individuals at any point during the preceding 12 months; or (iii) has a demonstrated business objective to maintain or collect such data on greater than one million individuals and such data is an integrated part of the US business's primary products or services. However, if the US business maintains or collects genetic information (as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Affordability Act (HIPAA)), none of these three limitations apply; such a US business is a TID U.S. business regardless of those three qualifications.
The categories of data that may be "sensitive personal data" are very broad, including financial information, health-related data, non-public electronic communications, geolocation data, biometric information, and data typically held by government contractors.7 The three limiting qualifications listed above will be key for CFIUS in distinguishing a TID US business from the millions of US businesses that maintain or collect such data without posing any risk to national security. Public comments on those three limiting qualifications will help Treasury to prevent unintended overbreadth in the definition of TID US businesses and in CFIUS's jurisdiction.
Excepted Investors and Excepted Foreign States. One of the most welcome aspects of the proposed rules, at least for some foreign investors, may be Treasury's proposed implementation of FIRRMA's requirement that CFIUS specify criteria to limit its jurisdiction over "covered investments" to certain categories of foreign persons. The proposed rules would implement this requirement by creating categories of "excepted investors" and "excepted foreign states." Functionally, this would serve to operate as a kind of "global entry" gate that will permit certain foreign investors from designated states to enjoy something akin to a "visa waiver" for their non-controlling investments in the United States.
The category of "excepted foreign states" will be dynamic. A country will be determined to be an "excepted foreign state" only if (i) it is listed as an "eligible foreign state" in a list that will be published separately from the CFIUS rules on the Treasury Department's website. And such a listing will not guarantee that a particular country is an "excepted foreign state"—CFIUS will select from that list only those eligible foreign states those that have established and are effectively using a "robust process" to assess foreign investments for national security risks and to facilitate coordination with the United States on matters relating to investment security. CFIUS's decision to select and designate a particular country as an "excepted foreign state" will be published in the Federal Register and the list of all "excepted foreign states" will be posted on the Treasury Department website.
"Excepted investors" under the proposed rules are foreign persons that have a substantial connection to one or more excepted foreign states (such as, among other requirements, being incorporated in, and having board members who are nationals of an excepted foreign state) and that have not violated (and whose parents or subsidiaries have not violated) certain US laws, regulations, orders, directives, or licenses and have not violated any duties in relation to CFIUS. If a foreign person who is an "excepted investor" at the time of a transaction engages in any such violation within three years after the completion of the transaction, CFIUS will have jurisdiction to take action regarding the investment within that three-year period.
Investment Fund Transactions
FIRRMA created certain exceptions from CFIUS's jurisdiction over non-controlling foreign investments made through investment funds. The proposed rules clarify those exceptions through provisions similar to the investment fund provisions in the Pilot Program rules. Specifically, under the proposed rules, an indirect investment by a foreign person in an unaffiliated TID US business through an investment fund, where that investment affords the foreign person (or a designee of the foreign person) membership as a limited partner or equivalent on an advisory board or committee of the fund, and certain restrictions on the authority of the foreign person exist, a limited partner's membership on the investment fund's advisory board or committee does not in and of itself render the foreign person's indirect investment in an unaffiliated TID US business a covered investment.
Filing Options
In accordance with FIRRMA, the proposed rules set the stage for three different forms of non-governmental triggers for CFIUS's review of a proposed foreign investment: (1) mandatory declarations, (2) voluntary declarations, and (3) voluntary notices.
Mandatory Declarations. The proposed rules leave intact the Pilot Program mandate to file a declaration with CFIUS regarding non-controlling, but not completely passive, equity foreign investments in a US business that produces, designs, tests, manufactures, fabricates, or develops one or more "critical technologies" for use in certain industries. As stated in the proposed rules' preamble, CFIUS is considering whether to continue that mandate when it publishes the final FIRRMA rules, and will consider comments on that issue in making a decision to that effect.
As to other types of investments, the proposed rules would implement FIRRMA in mandating that a filing be made with CFIUS with respect to investments (whether controlling or not) that result in the acquisition of a "substantial interest" in a TID US business by a foreign person in which a foreign government has a "substantial interest." A "substantial interest" in a US business means a voting interest of at least 25%. A "substantial interest" of a foreign government in a foreign person (the investor) means a voting interest of 49% or more.
Voluntary Declarations. For investments where no filing is mandatory, voluntary declarations may be a welcome alternative to filing a voluntary notice in many cases. While preparing a full notice can be a fairly time-consuming and burdensome process, preparing a declaration is relatively simple. The declaration form is posted online as a fillable PDF document that is easy to navigate and requires minimal prose. Further, CFIUS is required to review declarations within 30 days (compared to the 45-day review now applicable for notices). Thus, where a transaction is fairly straightforward and does not seem to present a serious national security risk, filing a declaration may be an attractive option. The risk is that if CFIUS determines it cannot conclude its review during the 30-day declaration review period, it can, among other options, request the parties to file a notice, which will mean 30 days will have been added to what might have been a more streamlined review of a notice in the first place, or not reach any conclusion by the end of its 30-day review, giving the parties no conclusive answer as to whether the President might exercise his authority under Section 721 to interfere with the transaction.
Voluntary Notices. Voluntary notices continue to be an option for the parties to all covered transactions (whether those resulting in foreign control or non-controlling "covered investments). As noted above, in some cases where filing at least a declaration is mandatory, it may make sense to file a full notice instead (which satisfies the filing mandate), in anticipation that CFIUS, after reviewing a declaration, may request a full notice or provide no conclusive response regarding the transaction. Thus, decisions regarding when and what to file with CFIUS remain complex.
Although Treasury is postponing imposing filing fees as authorized by FIRRMA, the proposed rules would implement the onerous penalty regime prescribed by FIRRMA. Under the proposed rules, parties may be penalized for any material misstatement or omission from a CFIUS filing—regardless of intent or gross negligence. Such penalties are capped at $250,000 per violation, but other penalties for noncompliance with CFIUS rules can be as high as twice the value of the transaction at issue.
Treasury appears to have put significant thought into the proposed rules, including by providing explanations and examples to help potential investors and sellers understand the scope of the FIRRMA rules. The areas in which Treasury indicates it is still considering options are ones in which comments from the public may be most influential. But in whatever way the proposed rules may raise concerns for potential investors or targets, the comment period ending October 24, 2019 will be the best opportunity for quite some time to attempt to influence the final rules or mitigate the most concerning aspects of the proposed rules.

CFIUS Releases New Real Estate Transaction Rules. Those real estate-related rules, while not applicable to transactions resulting in control by a foreign person over a US business, provide insight into concerns that CFIUS may have with respect to such control transactions where part of the US assets being acquired is real estate.

Whosah
Though the five-piece calls Minneapolis their stomping grounds, they have found home to be wherever their craft takes them- from college campuses and bars across the Midwest to sharing the stage with artists like Mat Kearney, Betty Who, Peter Bjorn and John, Hippo Campus, Now Now, Flor, and Jesse McCartney. Whosah has won the University of Minnesota's Spring Jam Battle of the Bands, been featured on popular shows like NBC's A to Z and MTV's Snookie and JWoww and Target's back-to-school campaign.
With a dance-pop twist on Walk the Moon and The 1975, Whosah's new release is centered around an optimistic and spunky attitude, savoring the conflict between finding purpose in the daily routine and longing for a life beyond the known. Produced with Nashville's Chase Coy (formerly of Universal Records), their sophomore EP, Work was released in March of 2016. It charted in the Top 200 of CMJ radio, garnered over 200,000 Spotify streams and resulted in regional mainstream radio play along with increased opportunities for the band as both the headlining act at college performance halls from MI to PA and support for Bleachers, MUNA, and Mutemath at Go 96.3's GoFest 2017.
In between these live shows over the past year, the band has been writing its first full length record, getting back to their regional roots at Humans Win! Recording Studio in Minneapolis, MN. The single "Make A Move" was released on July 21 in anticipation for Fall travel dates and the to-be-titled LP. The record will continue to hone the band's emphasis on synth-pop feel presented by a live rock band not afraid to let loose alongside every music enthusiast they meet.

Shutdown Grazes Tech Supply Chain
The economy dodged a bullet this fall — the federal government shutdown didn't bring business to a halt. However, business did get grazed. As always, there will be an impact in the electronics supply chain.
The Office of Management and Budget reported in October that the shutdown was expected to reduce fourth-quarter gross domestic product growth by 0.2-0.6 percentage points. "The Council of Economic Advisers estimates that the combination of the government shut-down and debt limit brinksmanship may have resulted in 120,000 fewer private-sector jobs created during the first two weeks of October," the OMB said.
Also in October, a Forrester Research report (subscription required) said that the federal government sequestration, the government shutdown, and the brinksmanship on the debt ceiling have "kept the US economy and the US tech market stuck in second gear." The firm reduced its 2013 growth forecast for information and communications technology purchases from 5.7% to 3.9%.
Andrew Bartels, an analyst at Forrester and one of the report's authors, wrote in a blog post that the reduced federal spending impacted CIO purchases of electronics goods, which, obviously, sends ripples to the supply chain. Tech spending is easy to defer. "Servers and PCs have been especially hard hit as alternatives like infrastructure-as-a-service (instead of buying servers) and tablets (as replacements for laptops) accentuated CIO caution," he wrote. "However, there is evidence that even corporate purchases of tablets have slowed."
Here are some other ways the shutdown has affected the technology industry.
Delayed review of patent applications: Though the US Patent and Trade Office kept two of its offices open, it reduced staff during the shutdown.
Halted processing of H1-B visas: The State Department did not review applications for these visas during the government shutdown.
Delayed IPOs: The Securities and Exchange Commission stopped reviewing new applications for IPOs and slowed the processing of previously filed applications.
Furloughed government contractors: Tech companies with government contracts felt at least some impact.
Federal Communications Commission delays: The FCC couldn't approve products for three weeks, potentially delaying shipments of consumer products. And it was forced to delay an auction of H-Block spectrum, which could provide more airwaves for smartphones and other communications systems.
Potentially delayed imports and exports of electronics and computer products: Government officials weren't at the job to review permits.
What's more, a recent Wall Street Journal article (subscription required) says that some computer and software companies believe that slowing sales in China are linked to the National Security Agency spying scandal. Cisco Systems reported that orders from China in the latest quarter dropped 18% from a year earlier. In an earnings call, Cisco's president of development and sales said that tension over the scandal has been causing potential buyers to pause.
For 2014, Forrester Research predicts that sales of IT goods and services will rise 5.3%, but that's assuming we won't have another shutdown and/or refuse to raise the debt ceiling. That assumption may be too optimistic. The agreement struck by Congress and President Obama this fall funds the government only until Jan. 15, 2014, and it raises the debt ceiling until Feb. 7, 2014. If factions dig in their heels and fail to reach agreement, "then our 2014 forecast for the U.S. tech market will once again have to be ratcheted down," Bartels wrote.

I know several companies supplying IT infrastructure such as storage, networking are hard-hit by the shutdown. Their forecasts for the year-end have been reduced as well.
The US is an important participant for global economy. Government shutdown slows down the recovery of American economy, and futher affect the entire market, extending economic slowdown as the first supply chain risk.
Without getting into politics, it strikes me that the shutdown affects innocent victims way more than the intended targets. It's disheartening when there are so many things to have this sort of thing give a hit to our industry as well. Thanks for the list…it was a real eye opener.
If you live in other countries, as your goverment had these sort of shutdowns? How has it affected industry where you are?

Silent Hill: Fans sublimate the game under Unreal Engine 5
Game news Silent Hill: Fans sublimate the game under Unreal Engine 5
Fan-remakes have been in fashion since the launch of the new Unreal Engine 5 graphics engine. And many fans are precisely getting their hands on them to try to sublimate the cult games of the video game world with here, Silent Hill, the first of the name.
A la mode Unreal Engine 5
Unreal Engine 5 is the latest graphics engine designed for the next generation and launched by Epic Games. It embeds a technology called Lumen, a dynamic lighting tool that allows natural light to be integrated into the game. Available to all developers, professionals or amateurs, everyone has their own imagination. to recreate games and offer technical demos in the image of The Matrix Awakens developed by Epic Games.
Some fans even make it their playground and offer us stunning results.starting with a reproduction of the game The Simpsons: Hit & Run created in just one week. Others have challenged themselves to perpetuate the legend of Zelda through remakes under Unreal Engine 5 ofOcarina of Timethen The Wind Waker very recently. At the beginning of the month, it was also the turn of silent Hill to be picked up by TeaserPlay with a compelling video in which we find the environment of the first opus in the smallest details sublimated.
Still more Silent Hill
Today, Silent Hill is once again the talk of the town and it's the turn of the Codeless Games team to deliver a ten-minute gameplay video under Unreal Engine 5 and set in a building well known to our protagonist Harry Mason: Midwich Primary School.
As you can see in the images above, the distressing atmosphere is rather well rendered with the traces of blood, the echoing footsteps or the flickering lights.
Let us recall in passing that Silent Hill is a survival horror released on PlayStation 1 in 1999 in which you play as Harry Mason, a young man in search of Cheryl, his daughter who disappeared after an accident.
Also note that Codeless Games is an amateur studio currently working on a fan-remake of Silent Hill under Unreal Engine 5. So why not hope that the project results in a playable version to revive a cult survival-horror game after the cancellation of the project carried by Hideo Kojima.
