The famed seaboard of Northern California offers travelers a mixture of picturesque beaches and hidden coves – from busy beach areas such as Santa Cruz to more peaceful, intimate areas such as Lagoon Creek Beach.
As a bonus for travelers, the state of California offers beachgoers free access to all public beaches.
Each beach offers something unique – besides the sand and water – and that's why they made it onto this list.
You can expect to come across vintage roller coasters, wooden boardwalks, carnival games, and epic paragliding destinations.
Read on to get an idea of the 15 best beaches in Northern California to help you decide which beaches to add to your Northern California bucket list.
Prepare with caution, because once you sample the laid-back Cali lifestyle, it's hard to go back home.
Situated between Half Moon Bay and the city of Moss Beach is Ross Cove Beach.
Right above the beach is Pillar Point Bluff Park, which has amazing trails for jogging or walking your pup through.
Depending on the season, the conditions of the trails vary due to erosion and the beach may not be reachable.
Pack a lunch and enjoy a picnic on the beach – there are no facilities nearby other than restrooms.
This is a good location to spot whales.
Why pay extra for whale watching when you can see them on Ross Cove Beach for free?
Rodeo Beach in Northern California sits in between Rodeo Lagoon and Rodeo Cove.
The beach is made up of pebbled stones in all different colors and the water is painted endless shades of blue; it's one of the more picturesque beaches in Northern Cali.
There are famous rocks on the south shore of the beach that are regularly photographed.
If you enjoy bird watching, Rodeo Lagoon is a great place to spot a variety of species.
Offshore, there is a small arch in the center – known as Bird Rock – and with binoculars, you can spot many types of birds that are roosting.
This beach is pet-friendly and has restrooms available.
Caspar State Beach is set in a cove called Caspar Anchorage, which is positioned in the coastal town of Caspar.
This beach is great for camping; there is an RV campground right across the road.
Out of all the beaches to go swimming at, Caspar State Beach is one of the best.
However, the water can be cold and the current may change rapidly, so it's still important to use caution when swimming.
Towards the north end of the beach, you will find some walking trails which have great viewpoints overlooking the shore.
On the south side, there is a park area which is great for enjoying lunch.
The park is called Caspar Headlands State Natural Reserve.
Miles and miles of golden sand make Seaside Beach incredible – it's a great destination to enjoy for a whole day.
Although there are lifeguards, the beach tends to get slightly rough and has strong currents.
Swimming is not advised, but it's definitely a must-see beach while visiting California.
The long shoreline is great for flying kites and watching paragliders take off.
If you enjoy golfing, there is a course located in Seaside, a great option to keep you active in between sunbathing sessions.
Glass Beach will be one of the most unique and exquisite beaches you will ever visit.
This beach is the most well-known in MacKerricher State Park because of all the glass pieces scattered along the shore.
The photos taken from this gorgeous spot will add some real color to your social media feed.
You are not permitted to remove any glass from the beach but you can snap a few pictures, which is just as rewarding.
There are many trails around this area that will lead you to Pudding Creek Beach – a great little spot to experience while you are in the vicinity.
How can you not consider Santa Cruz as one of the top 15 best beaches in Northern California or California in general? The long stretch of white sand, gentle surf, and an incredible boardwalk to boot, this beach will be sure to make your vacation memorable.
You can enjoy carnival games and amusement park rides and take a wander through the beachside shops when you're done.
It's a beach for the true adventurer – not only can you watch surfers from the shoreline, but you can also spot whales, dolphins and sea lions off in the distance.
With 200-foot-high sandy cliffs, you will see many hand-gliders on Fort Funston Beach, especially between March to October.
While this beach is a great spot for entertainment, it can get windy and the undertow is powerful.
This is an off-leash dog beach for your pups – a bonus for animal lovers.
It's also a great place for horseback riding and hiking along trails, with many different tracks to choose from in the area.
This beach is also home to the Fort Funston Native Plant Nursery.
If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity, this is a great place to consider.
Montara State Beach is a mile-long walking beach, situated north of Montara alongside the San Mateo County Coast.
It's another photogenic spot because of the backdrop of the sandstone-sculpted cliffs.
If you are in the mood for hiking, Montara Mountain is only a short walk away.
Besides hiking, fishing and surfing are great activities to do at Montara State Beach.
Dogs are allowed on the leash and parking is free.
In the corner of Sonoma County, bordering Gualala River and Mendocino County lies Gualala Point Regional Park.
This park is unique because there is an area where the river meets the sea.
Come prepared to stay in a campground surrounded by forest, alongside the river; it will be an experience you will never forget.
It's another great place for whale watching, hiking along trails, and bird watching.
Surrounded by coastal dunes, the town of Bodega Bay is where you will find Bodega Dunes Beach and Campground.
This beach is large and isolated, making for the perfect relaxing getaway.
If this beach is not remote enough, you can take a walk to the south side, where you will find Mussel Point.
This is a great, picturesque spot with many hikes through dunes – great for experienced hikers and horseback riders.
There are restrooms and picnic tables available, and the campground is a great place to stay and soak up the peaceful vibes.
Situated in the tiny town of Elk, where the creek streams into the ocean, you will be happily greeted by Greenwood State Beach.
The beach dates back to the 1800's.
During logging times, it featured a pier that was used for shipping goods and transporting people to San Francisco – known as the Greenwood Pier.
You can take a stroll through the museum and learn more about the history of Greenwood.
You will notice lots of driftwood on the beach, which is great for some artsy photos.
Why not kayak through the Greenwood cove and over to Gunderson Rock – a small, rocky island located offshore.
Beach drives, bird watching, and late night bonfires are what Centerville Beach is known for.
Directly behind the beach is a combination of farms and marshy areas, which is why the birds enjoy hanging out here.
The cool thing about this beach is that you can actually drive your vehicle or ATV directly on the shore.
Centerville Beach is also a landmark, commemorating the 38 people who passed away during the shipwreck in 1860. You will notice a white cross at the south end of the beach.
The sunset paradise of California, also known as Enderts Beach, consists of scattered rocks, driftwood, and enough wind to fly a kite or to make reading a book enjoyable with a subtle breeze.
In order to access the beach, you will need to walk for about a mile.
There is a campground halfway between the parking area and beach.
You can spend a night or two and take full advantage of this peaceful retreat.
One of the main attractions on Enderts Beach are the tide pools, which are located at the south end.
You will spot sea stars, urchins, and other fascinating, tiny sea creatures there.
Let's switch it up with a dark sand beach, located at the south side of False Klamath Cove.
Redwood National Park has a great picnic area, with tables and restrooms available.
This is where the hiking trails start and you can walk to a beautiful viewpoint that looks over the cove and False Klamath Rock.
If you continue on this trail, you will come to Hidden Beach.
This beach is great for surfing and fishing.
Dogs are allowed on the beach but will need to be kept on a leash.
A former military fort that was turned into a public park – now known as Baker Beach – is a beach with postcard-perfect views.
The big attraction to Baker Beach is the vicinity to the Golden Gate Bridge, which can be seen off in the distance.
It's definitely one of the top 5 beaches in California for views.
Since the water is rather cold and the tide can get rough, it's better for walking than swimming.
You can access Baker Beach by public transport due to its proximity to San Francisco.
There are public BBQ grills available for extravagant picnics, so pack some BBQ staples and make a day of it at this gorgeous spot.

Jake retires from professional Overwatch
The former Houston Outlaw isn't done with the scene yet.

This article is brought to you by StatBanana, the best Overwatch strategy tool.
Junkrat mains everywhere just felt something shift in the universe. Houston Outlaws DPS Jake "Jake" Lyon is retiring from professional Overwatch, and although he's no longer a part of the Overwatch League, he noted in today's announcement that his journey within the esports scene is far from over.
Jake played for the Houston Outlaws during both seasons of the Overwatch League. He began his professional career as a DPS on a small team named -bird noises-, which also included future league players Matthew "Super" DeLisi and Connor "Avast" Prince. The team was later picked up by a sister team of LG, LG Evil, to compete in early professional Overwatch tournaments. Jake played DPS for Team USA in the 2017 Overwatch World Cup and later went on to become a caster for the 2018 and 2019 competitions.
Houston Outlaws on Twitter
Today we say goodbye to @jakeow as he retires to pursue new opportunities. Jake has been nothing short of an incredible player, teammate, and professional in his time with us. We wish him nothing but the absolute best moving forward. Forever an Outlaw. 💚 https://t.co/Mm4R5e5AsQ
In a Twitlonger message, Jake explained that his decision to leave the Overwatch League was a result of reevaluating his life goals. "In service of my own fulfillment and happiness…I know that I must step away from professional play for now," he wrote. "In giving everything to grind the game, I have forcibly stagnated my process of learning, growth, and exploration that I feel allowed me to reach this competitive level in the first place."
Jake joins a growing list of veteran players who have decided to pursue other goals within the competitive Overwatch scene. New York Excelsior DPS Kim "Pine" Do-hyeon retired yesterday, opting to become a partnered streamer instead of participating in the 2020 Overwatch League season.
Much like Pine, fans will likely see more of Jake in the future. "Suffice to say that you haven't seen the last of me in the Overwatch scene," he noted in his retirement message.

What Are the Ideal Properties of Good Marijuana Soil?
If you are thinking to take your first foray into the world of cannabis cultivation, then you are in for a treat.
Selecting your favorite kinds of seeds to grow, finding the perfect home for them within your garden or greenhouse, and nurturing them until they bloom into that beautiful green, the whole process of growing your own cannabis seeds through special marijuana soil is exhilarating to say the least.
However, that feeling of fulfillment of growing your own marijuana through cannabis potting soil does not come easy. You have to be on top of things and ensure that you are making the right decisions in order to provide the best environment to your plants for them to grow and flourish optimally.
While determining the quality of a cannabis soil composition is an extensive process, it can be broken down into a few steps. If your choice of marijuana potting soil shows said properties, then you could go ahead with planting your cannabis seeds with the assurance that the process won't turn awry for you.
Check for the pH Level: A good cannabis soil composition has a pH level of 6. Make sure that the soil you select meets this requirement for optimal performance.
Check if the soil is organic: Organic soil provides a natural environment for cannabis to grow and flourish without chemical intervention.
Check if it is a living soil: A marijuana living soil composition allows for beneficial bacteria, fungus and microorganisms to work towards the provision and distribution of nutrients.
Check if the soil has good water retention: A cannabis potting soil composition that doesn't retain water and lets all the nutrients wash away is a big no. Make sure to select a composition that has good water retention.
Check if the soil have good water drainage: While this is contrary to the "good water retention" requirement, it is just as important. If the soil is too damp, then it will have adverse effects on your plants.
Check if the soil needs any extra composition or nutrients: Most marijuana grow kits come complete with all the nutrients and natural additives compositions you could want. However, if any organic marijuana soil asks for additions that do not come with the composition kit, then it's better to find another composition that is easier to use.
Check if the soil works with a particular kind of plant: While most good compositions of cannabis potting soil work just as well with marijuana seed starters as they do would new plants, there are a few iterations that work with specific plants and their stages only. Ensure to make your selection accordingly.
Spiked Soil has carved a niche within the cannabis cultivation sector with its optimal composition of organic cannabis soil. With an array of nutrients and microorganisms available in its carefully concocted soil selection, you can rest assured in the fact that the weed soil you purchase from Spiked Soil would always yield great results for you. Don't hesitate to contact Spiked Soil today for any of your cannabis soil needs.

Can you confirm that this has been fixed with the latest 1.7 version of Events+ ?
Indeed, this issue should have been taken care of with the v1.7 release.
Ok... Don't know how I could test that so I expect it is.

LONG BEACH, Calif. - Cooper MacNeil and Jeroen Bleekemolen drove the No. 22 WeatherTech Porsche to a fourth place GTC finish in today's running of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) presented by Tequila Patron Long Beach Grand Prix.
MacNeil (Hinsdale, ILL) started the white and black Porsche from pole position. Before the drop of the green flag, the field got bunched in the final turn and out of order, creating a havoc filled drag race out of the turn to the green flag. As a result, MacNeil was relegated to third position. The first quarter of the race witnessed two caution periods. The team began to play out their strategy in the short two-hour race pitting early, lap 17, to get the compulsory tire stop complete. The race went green again and the team was watching the clock to ensure that MacNeil drove his allotted time. As luck would not have it, track position conspired against them to the tune of about 30 seconds causing them to leave the University of Colorado at Buffalo student out while the rest of the GTC field pitted. The mere 30 seconds, in a short two-hour race, meant the difference between pitting and exiting in the lead and finishing fourth.
"The start was very chaotic," MacNeil said. "Everyone was out of line, by the time we got down in the last three turns. I got passed before the green even came out. At the beginning, the car was not that easy to drive. As the fuel load got lighter, it started to come back. The team had a good strategy planned, but the timing of the second yellow and our track position meant it didn't work out. Even though we were not on the podium we had a good points day."
Bleekemolen knows the challenges of running street courses.
"Today we were very unlucky," Bleekemolen said. "Street circuits make it very hard to pass. We missed our window for the driving time by about 30 seconds. We had to pit one lap later than the other cars in GTC, which put us back to fifth. It is hard to make up that gap with the faster traffic always overtaking you. It is tough when the race comes down to just 30 seconds. But the race is short, and we were just unlucky."
Alex Job, team owner, had his team in a position to take advantage of the short event.
"Street racing is tough," Job said. "We had a strategy that was all ready to play out. Under the second caution when we were supposed to pit we were just unlucky with our track position and could not come in with the rest of the GTC field. If we would have come in, we could have got out of the pits in first place and controlled the race from the front. Thirty seconds made all the difference in our two-hour race. It was too much to ask Jeroen to take it back to the front in the time left without any more yellow flags."

Research staff in the Visualization Laboratory stitched several hundred images of an 800-year-old figurine together to create a 3D interactive image for the Illinois State Archaeological Survey (ISAS). In the ISAS archives are hundreds of objects that are not publicly shown. The 3D imaging will allow ISAS to showcase these pieces of history on its web site, so researchers from around the world can have access.
History was captured in a whole new way in the Visualization Laboratory (Vis Lab) this past year. With a high-quality digital camera, strategic lighting, and 3D image construction software, an 800-year-old stone figurine was brought to life.
Researchers in the Vis Lab compiled hundreds of individual photographs of the Sponemann figurine to create a 3D pdf image that allows users to rotate and zoom in and around the image. Download the zip PDF file (5,000KB).
The Illinois State Archaeological Survey (ISAS), a division of the Prairie Research Institute at the University of Illinois, worked with Travis Ross, manager of the Vis Lab, and Nathan Bajandes, graphic specialist in the lab, to create these images.
With the Vis Lab's macro-photography suite, Ross and Bajandes captured several photos of the entire surface of the 6 x 12˝ figurine, and used Agisoft, a program that stiches images together, to reconstruct the high-quality three-dimensional image.
In the future, ISAS will make 3D pdfs of its objects available on its web site so the public can view the images in lifelike detail.
The photography suite, which features 20 MegaPixel DSLRs and a professional photo and video studio, was added to the Vis Lab in the past year. The Vis Lab also offers a range of highly advanced equipment for imaging and video needs. Users can take advantage of numerous capabilities, including graphics services such as 3D rendering, photography, and image enhancement for journal covers and presentations; scientific research support that includes image analysis, animation, and video production; as well as 2D and 3D object scanning.
Ross said work in 3D has become a focus of the lab, as evidenced by many students, faculty, and groups like ISAS that use the multiple 3D modalities available. The staff of the Vis Lab assist in updating software and meet the specific design and simulation needs of the researchers.
Steve Boppart, a Beckman faculty member and director of Imaging at Illinois, is a frequent user of the Vis Lab. Boppart understands the vital role the lab plays in ensuring users meet their research goals.
The Sponemann figurine dates to the 12th century A.D. and is associated with the people who created the archaeological site of Cahokia, North America's first city. The 6 x 12" figurine was excavated by survey crews in the 1980s from a burned temple building a few miles from the current Cahokia State Historical site in Collinsville, Illinois. The figurine is made from an unusual material known as Missouri flintclay from sources just west of St. Louis. The image is of a young woman who likely represents the Corn Mother, a prominent deity in native societies. She is often shown with symbols representative of plants and serpents, all markers of the Underworld that are associated with life renewal and fertility in native cosmology.

Surprising Elections in Exciting Times? Of Proxies and Second-Order Events in the 2014 European Election in Cyprus
Charalambous, Giorgos; Bambos Papageorgiou & Adonis Pegasiou (2015) Surprising Elections in Exciting Times? Of Proxies and Second-Order Events in the 2014 European Election in Cyprus, South European Society and Politics 20(3): 403–424.
The concept of second-order national elections has generated a rich literature, but its universality, in particular its predominance in contexts affected by shocks, has not been sufficiently studied. The 2014 election to the European Parliament in the Republic of Cyprus, taking place one year after an European Union/International Monetary Fund bailout, could be classified as one of the most puzzling contests in the history of second-order elections. The incumbent party, Democratic Rally (DISY), was not punished, despite the harsh economic environment in the country, while protest voting affected the opposition more. Abstention was exceptional, indicating a delegitimisation of the political system. Moreover, the micro-level analysis reveals that the decision to vote or abstain was driven by attitudes towards both domestic institutions on the one hand and European/international institutions on the other.

Zach Williams Announces Upcoming Album
August 21, 2022 by Ann
Two-time GRAMMY Award® winner, multi-GMA Dove Award® winner, and multi-platinum selling singer/songwriter Zach Williams announces the release of his new album, A Hundred Highways. The anticipated 15-track project, his latest in three years, officially drops on September 30 (Sony Music/Provident Entertainment) and is now available for pre-order/pre-add here. Additionally, a limited number of signed CDs are available for pre-order. Find out more here.
From start to finish, A Hundred Highways is Williams' faith on full display, each song built on the cornerstone of his unchanging love for Jesus. "This record feels more like me than anything else I've done," Williams shares. "It's the most 'Zach' record I've made. I wasn't concerned about if it fits in any certain pocket, I just wrote about my life experiences and the things I'm feeling and living."
While his GRAMMY Award-winning album–2017's Chain Breaker followed by 2019's Rescue Story–sang of redemption and God's love, A Hundred Highways is redemption lived out, forgiveness explored, and deep love for his wife and family, all of the songs offering a true reflection of a man who's found a Savior and is never letting go. Produced by his longtime musical partner Jonathan Smith, this new batch of songs offers Williams' signature blend of country-meets-rock-meets-Gospel, all expertly blended with his genre-defining vocals that deliver a life fully lived.
The album's first single, "Heart Of God," is already making an astounding impact, receiving 1.5 million listens in its first week of release, joined by a music video. Accompanying today's pre-order as an instant grat is "Big Tent Revival," a song peeking into his childhood memories with his grandparents, traveling to concerts on weekends, and how those times have impacted him as an artist. Listen to "Big Tent Revival" here. Another addition to the album, following up with another high-powered duet thanks to the GRAMMY-winning "There Was Jesus" with Dolly Parton, Williams partnered with country star Walker Hayes on "Jesus' Fault."
Pre-order A Hundred Highways here.

Facebook is adding new video metrics for publishers, including demographics and 360º heatmaps
LINK: media.fb.com ➚ | Posted by: Ricardo Bilton | August 10, 2016
With video, one of the advantages Facebook has over TV and cable networks is the sheer scale of data it can collect about who is watching what, how much of it they watch, and what resonates most.
Facebook said today that it's opening up more of that video data to publishers on the site. Its stable of video metrics now includes viewer demographics, which will let creators get a better idea of the kinds of people watching their videos (broken out by age and gender) as well as where, generally, those viewers live. That's a big deal for a site such as BuzzFeed, which has already used similar kinds of demographic data to drive its video strategy. Other publishers will now be able to put it to good use as well.
Facebook is also offering more insight into how interested people are while watching live video. Publishers will now be able to see at which points viewers are most engaged, and which moments were compelling enough to encourage people to share, like, and comment.
Another noteworthy addition: a new heatmap feature that will let publishers of 360º videos see where viewers spend the most of their time watching: The most-viewed parts of the video will appear hotter, while the less interesting bits will be colder. Facebook is opening that feature up to any video posted since April that has at least 50,000 views.
The additions are a part of Facebook's gradual improvement of its video analytics offerings, which, the company says, has been driven by what publishers say they want to see. Facebook already offers publishers data on how many viewers get past the 10-second mark and, for live video, the peak number of concurrent viewers.
Facebook's motivation in giving publishers more in-depth video data is self-serving: If publishers have more insight into how their videos are resonating (or not resonating) they can create more videos that more people will want to see. The same goes for marketers, who are also always looking for more data-driven justification for investing in new platforms. That ultimately means more lucrative video ad revenue for Facebook itself.

Team Black Falcon is gearing up for its largest assault on an endurance race so far this year as the team plans to have three entries in the fourth and penultimate round of the 2014 Blancpain Endurance Series next week. Known as the Total 24 Hours of Spa, it is arguably the most important race of the Blancpain Endurance Series and the lengthiest by far.
The team is entering three cars for the first time this season in a bid to increase its chances of fighting for victory. Two of these entries will compete in the GT3 Pro class, the first of which will be shared between the usual driver line-up that consists of Abdulaziz Turki AlFaisal, Andreas Simonen and Hubert Haupt. The trio is seeking their strongest result yet in the series after securing their first points finish in the last round in France.
Racing will take place on the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium. Its 7.004-kilometer length makes it the second longest circuit on the calendar (after the Nürburgring Nordschleife). Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is highly popular among racing drivers thanks to its mix of long straights and challenging fast corners, coupled with a picturesque setting. The weather in Spa is notoriously unpredictable; it can often be simultaneously raining and dry on two different parts of the track.
Total 24 Hours of Spa will be the team's third 24-hour race in 2014 after the Dubai 24 Hours and Nürburgring 24 Hours, both in which Team Black Falcon managed to finish on the podium, thus a lesser result is surely not to the aim.

At least 103 saltwater crocodile nests counted in Odisha's Bhitarkanika this year
Forest officials counted a total of 103 saltwater crocodile nests in the Bhitarkanika National Park of Odisha's Kendrapada district this years.
"Last year, we counted 101 crocodile nests in the park. This year, the number of nests has marginally increased," Bimal Prasan Acharya, the divisional forest officer (DFO) of the park, told Down To Earth.
The nests are usually prepared using mangrove twigs, leaves and mud, said Acharya. They are usually made on high ground so as not to be inundated during either high tide or by flood waters during the rains, and also so that they can receive direct sunlight.
A female crocodile lays 50 to 60 eggs in a nest. Out of every 500 crocodile eggs in the wild, only one hatchling survives to adulthood.
According to the January 2019 January crocodile census report, the water bodies of Bhitarakanika are the home of 1,742 salt water crocodiles.

Female crocodiles guard the eggs from predators like jackals, wild dogs, fishing cats, vultures, water monitors, wild boars and other animals.
During their egg-laying season, crocodiles are usually aggressive and can attack humans at even the slightest sign of intruding into their nesting areas.
During the nesting season in 2019, two people were killed in separate incidents while fishing in the Brahmani river near Bhitarkanika.
On June 2, 52-year-old Sanjay Pradhan of Mandapada village was killed by a crocodile. On May 18, another 52-year-old, Banamali Mohanty of Bajarapur village was also killed by a crocodile.
To prevent human-crocodile conflict in the breeding season, the state forest and wildlife department have recently barricaded around 40 river ghats or steps leading into the rivers Bramahani, Kharosotra and Baitarani under the Aul, Rajnagar and Rajkanika blocks near the Bhitarkanika National Park.
"We also warned villagers not to enter the river ghats beyond the barricaded areas," added Acharya. Many snakes including king cobras and pythons also laid eggs in the mangrove forests of the park. A female python usually lays anything between 30 to 50 eggs and remains with her eggs till the entire period of incubation, which is roughly about 60 to 85 days.
"Many snakes laid eggs in the nearby villages for which we convinced the villagers not to kill any snakes or destroy their eggs. The forest officials banned the entry of anybody into the forest from May 1 to July 31 during the mating and breeding of snakes and crocodiles in the forest," said Acharya.

The Chaos Engine est un jeu vidéo d'action en 2D développé par The Bitmap Brothers et édité par Renegade en 1993. Initialement développé sur Amiga et Atari ST, le jeu a été adapté sur Amiga 1200, Amiga CD32, Mega Drive, PC et Super Nintendo.

L'histoire est inspirée du roman la Machine à différences de Bruce Sterling et l'action prend place dans une époque victorienne uchronique steampunk.

Le jeu connaît une suite en 1996, The Chaos Engine 2.

Synopsis
Au siècle dernier, l'inventeur Baron Fortesque a créé une machine étrange, The Chaos Engine, fruit d'une expérimentation sur l'espace-temps avec les premiers ordinateurs. De plus en plus puissante et incontrôlable, la machine fini par plonger la région dans le chaos en transformant les êtres vivants en machines à tuer. Un duo de mercenaires surarmés est engagé pour éradiquer le mal à la source...

Système de jeu
The Chaos Engine est un jeu de tir de type run and gun jouable à deux en collaboration. L'environnement est représenté en vue de dessus (de 3/4) et se déploie par défilement multidirectionnel. Le joueur doit faire progresser un soldat à l'arsenal varié dans des environnements chaotiques truffés de créatures et de pièges. Les décors sont encaissés et présentent régulièrement un ou deux étages. Le personnage peut tirer dans les huit directions autour de lui. Il est constamment secondé par un acolyte, contrôlé par l'ordinateur ou par un autre joueur.

Le jeu propose 16 niveaux repartis sur quatre mondes : la forêt, l'atelier, le manoir et les égouts. Le but est de trouver et d'activer un nombre donné de « nœuds », sortes de bornes énergétiques, disséminés dans le niveau afin d'en ouvrir la porte de sortie. L'action est omniprésente mais la progression appelle aussi observation et réflexion avec des passages secrets, des raccourcis à découvrir et des petites énigmes à résoudre. Le jeu requiert aussi un certain sens stratégique compte tenu du mode deux joueurs en collaboration mais aussi des possibilités d'évolution des personnages.

Le joueur peut incarner six mercenaires différents : The Thug, The Preacher, The Mercenary, The Gentleman, The Navvie et The Brigand. Tous possèdent des attributs, une arme et des compétences spéciales propres. Le joueur est libre de faire évoluer les attributs et de perfectionner les armes comme il l'entend. Les évolutions sont conditionnés par la somme d'argent ramassés dans les niveaux et prennent effet à l'écran d'équipement, disponible tous les deux niveaux.

Il y a quatre types d'attributs : adresse, endurance, rapidité et intelligence. L'adresse détermine le potentiel d'évolution de tous les autres attributs. L'intelligence a seulement une influence en mode solo, sur le personnage incarné par l'ordinateur. Chaque arme peut être plus ou moins perfectionnée en puissance de feu (faible, moyenne, forte) et en volume de tir (de simple à quadruple). Généralement, un personnage rapide ou endurant possède une arme au potentiel d'évolution plus limité et vice versa. Chaque personnage dispose en outre de deux à quatre compétences spéciales, progressivement débloquables : cocktail Molotov, bombe, salve de tirs, dynamite, carte du niveau, mines, kit premiers secours... Le pactole est commun aux deux personnages seulement dans le mode solo, même s'il est possible de prêter de l'argent à un coéquipier ruiné dans le mode deux joueurs.

Parmi les objets à ramasser, il y a les trésors, la nourriture (qui restaure le niveau d'endurance) et les clefs qui ouvrent de nouvelles voies en modifiant la topographie des lieux (déplacement d'obstacles, apparition d'escaliers, etc). Suivant la nature des clefs (argent ou or), les chemins ouverts seront essentiels ou secondaires à la progression. Il y a également des « jetons de zone morte » qui déterminent le point de réapparition des personnages après leur mort. Les niveaux comprennent de nombreux passages secrets et des portes de sortie cachées (en trouvant tous les « nœuds » du niveau) qui modifient la position d'entrée dans le niveau suivant.

Le jeu utilise un système de sauvegarde par mot de passe qui préserve les évolutions des personnages.

Réalisation
Dan Malone a conçu les graphismes du jeu dans un style reconnaissable, déjà appréciable dans Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe et Cadaver. Le graphiste anglais est connu pour sa capacité à donner de la profondeur à ses visuels en usant d'ombrages étudiés. Les environnements en vue de dessus ne manquent ni de relief ni de lisibilité, défauts inhérents à ce type de représentation, et ses personnages à la « gueule cassée » sont plutôt charismatiques. Certains joueurs préfèrent les graphismes de la version originale sur Amiga 500, pourtant moins colorées (32 couleurs), estimant que l'ajout ultérieur de couleurs pour les autres versions a quelque peu dénaturé le style originel (les versions AGA en proposent 3 fois plus par exemple).

Richard Joseph a réalisé la bande-son dans un style indus. Son travail est décrit comme un des premiers exemples probant en matière de musique interactive dans un jeu vidéo. Le rythme de la musique est modulé au gré des circonstances de jeu avec des enchaînements fluides. L'environnement sonore est agrémenté de voix digitalisées qui contribuent à l'ambiance mais aussi sont directement utiles au joueur.

Les différentes versions
Le jeu sort au printemps 1993 sur Amiga et Atari ST et est progressivement porté sur d'autres supports : Mega Drive, Super Nintendo (1993), Amiga 1200, Amiga CD32, PC (1994) et téléphone mobile (2005).

Pour l'exploitation sur Mega Drive et Super Nintendo, Renegade a cédé la licence à Spectrum Holobyte mais le jeu est développé par des proches des Bitmap. Ces versions sont connus sous le nom Soldiers of Fortune aux États-Unis. Elles ont la particularité de censurer les références ecclésiastiques de The Preacher (« le prédicateur ») : le personnage s'est vu renommé The Scientist (le scientifique) et son design est modifié pour supprimer le rapprochement avec la soutane.

Les versions Amiga 1200, Amiga CD32, Super Nintendo et PC (VGA) bénéficient de graphismes plus colorés. La version CD32 dispose également d'une introduction animée.

À noter que la version pour A1200 est sous titrée AA Version car le jeu de composant AGA équipant les Amiga 1200 et 4000 devait initialement s'appeler ainsi.

Accueil
Chaos Engine a reçu un bon accueil de la presse spécialisée, qui a salué sa grande jouabilité, son mode deux joueurs, son sens poussé du détail, ses graphismes métalliques et sa bande-son remarquable. La réalisation tire profit des capacités de l'Amiga et de l'Atari ST, cette dernière manquant surtout de reproduire les qualités sonores de sa cousine. Les autres versions sont également bien accueillies. Le jeu a reçu divers récompenses, notamment les Sega Awards du « meilleur jeu d'action » et du « meilleur jeu third-party » de l'année 1994 pour la version Mega Drive.

Andy Nutall écrit dans Amiga Format en  :
« Oui c'est un dérivé de plein d'autres jeux comme Commando et Gauntlet, mais il le fait si bien et implémente tant de détails que c'est pardonnable. En mode solo, vous et votre (machine) contre les méchants, c'est un grand jeu. Ajouté un second joystick, un camarade au bout, et le jeu devient un classique. »

 Amiga Format 90 % • CU Amiga 81 % • C+VG 89 % • Tilt 18 /20

The Chaos Engine 2
The Chaos Engine est le dernier jeu des Bitmap Brothers sur Atari ST et l'avant-dernier sur Amiga avant The Chaos Engine 2 en 1996. Cette suite reprend l'ambiance, les personnages et la perspective de l'original, mais le principe de jeu est cette fois-ci basé sur des matchs à mort en un contre un en écran splité sur des cartes réduites.

High school sports resumes with Bloomington South Invite
Jeremy Price
Depending on the time and place at the Bloomington Country Club, it was alternately an entirely normal season-opening girls' golf tournament or something straight out of a science fiction novel.
In the end, it was a little of both.
The flagsticks never left the hole, while masks were required before and after the round with proper social distancing mostly observed, but the high school fall sports season still started it's appointed rounds on the first Monday of August with 19 teams teeing off in the Bloomington South Invitational.
Preseason co-No. 2s Evansville North and Carmel dueled until the final hole for the win, which went to the Huskies by a stroke, 286-287, over the Greyhounds, as play concluded shortly before raindrops began to sprinkle the ground. The host Panthers posted a 397 to finish 12th on a fifth-score tiebreaker, while Bloomington North wasn't too far behind in 14th with a 411.
"We were prepared," South coach Dustin Carver said of hosting the first event of the COVID era. "We met with everybody, had a good game plan with the number of teams coming in. All the coaches that came did a good job and did what they were supposed to do.
"The girls didn't have to wear masks when they played, which was nice, but it was a good tournament. We were prepared for it, and, hopefully, everybody stays safe and healthy as we battle through this crazy time."
The season's future depends on it, and the futuristic feel at the outset required some adjustments for the players.
"It was definitely a little weird at first, because we were alone on a little green over there," said North's Savanna Honeycutt, who led the Cougars with a 96. "It honestly wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though. It felt pretty normal after a while.
"Once you get going, at least five holes in, it's nothing but golf. The nerves are gone after the first four holes."
Kate Lewis led South with a 90, and agreed that it just took some time to focus on the task at hand.
"It's definitely weird, but golf is the best sport for it though," the junior said. "You can keep your distance more than other sports. It's just weird putting on your mask right after a match, and you can't show as much congratulations (to fellow players), since you can't high-five. It's less social than it would be, and you don't want to be on top of somebody, because you don't know their views or whatever on the situation.
"I had to just try to focus on my game instead of everything else, which is so hectic — just zone in on golf."
Lewis did that well off the tee, but like many players on Monday, found other parts of the game needing work.
"I drove the ball really, really well," she said. "I just need to work on some irons out of the rough, which is all nerves, and it's pretty nerve-wracking with all the good teams here.
"I definitely think I'm better than last year. I'm definitely longer than last year. I just think I need to work on not being so nervous and staying calm under pressure, then I can put up the scores I think I should. I just need to be more fluid and more consistent."
Lewis got support from Edgewood transfer Lily Farkas with a 100, while Isabelle Haines-Field had a 103 and Kate Shapiro a 105.
"I'm pleased with getting under 400," Carver said. "Obviously we left a lot out there, especially with our putting, so we'll have to get that under control. But first tournament of the season, pleased with all the teams that came, got it in. We've got some things to work on, but we'll get there.
"I liked the way we got off the tee and I knew we'd probably hit it well off the tee, but this is one of those things where your short game is always the hardest thing to get back and if you're not working on it throughout the summer and waiting until the last minute to work on some things, you're going to see it struggle, not only with the chipping, but with the putting. We'll get it under control. This is a great course to practice on, especially the greens."
Honeycutt saw practice pay off to pace North, building off a summer that saw her do some work on the range, as well as shoot a 93 and beat her dad — on his birthday.
"My main thing was that I kept a positive attitude and shot a 96, so I broke 100 at our hardest course of the year," Honeycutt said. "I'm pretty happy about that.
"I definitely need to work on 50 yards and in and with putting, especially on these greens, because they got the best of me. If I would have eliminated some three-putts, I would've shot even lower, but I'm still happy with my score."
She wasn't the only one who came out of the opener feeling good for the new-look Cougars, who got a 97 from Peru transfer Claire Pryor, while freshman Darian Lafferty shot 100 in her high school debut, despite an 8 on the opening hole.
"That's awesome for (Darian's) first career high school round on this golf course, which is not easy," North coach Brian Muehlhaus said. "People aren't used to these green speeds. They weren't as quick as they normally are, but they're still way faster than what most people play.
"As a coach, you never know what to expect the first tournament of the year. We're not going to play courses more difficult than this. Really, really pleased with the scores. Two of them had never seen the course, so it's good to get in a tournament, get some experience with a loaded field and we'll go from there."


Learn how to give directions in chinese. This time instead of asking, we will be teaching you how to give someone who only speaks chinese directions to a place or location.
Oscar opened up a company with three other people and they set their headquarters in Beijing. Oscar's home was not so far away from his office so he usually walked there. Yet there were not so many good restaurants around his area, and he tended to take a taxi to somewhere a bit further away. He could remember the names to the destinations but since his apartment lay in a small community that cornered itself in a deserted street. There were lots of turns and twists on the way and taxi drivers always got lost and confused and sometimes really annoyed if Oscar was not able to tell exactly where he wanted to go.
"I couldn't speak a word of Chinese." Complained he one day to his parents, "And taxi drivers are so aggressive that I don't even dare to argue with them any more, besides, they don't understand me either." His parents suggested that he picked up some useful words, at least words that could bring him back home. He begged his Chinese girlfriend for help. And they decided to make sure he knew how to direct the taxi driver first.
Let's learn some words and sentences about directions in chinese. For example: 请告诉我怎么去那里?如何去那里?去那里怎么走?In these sentences, 怎么 means "how". Furthermore, you will learn more words about directions like: east - 东, west - 西, south - 南, 北 - north.

Chinese President Xi-Jinping declared that Taiwan "must and will be" reunited with China. He will use force if necessary. It's been clear for some time that China is looking to expand its sphere of influence.
That doesn't work. Hong Kong has that system, but Communists are gradually consuming them.
Xi said, Taiwanese people "must understand that independence will only bring hardship." Beijing will never tolerate any form of activity promoting Taiwanese independence.
China considers Taiwan a renegade, breakaway province.
The Taiwanese said, hell, no.
Will China copy Russia's takeover of Crimea? Trump needs to address this issue publicly.

As I walked in the room I could hear Moozlie's voice bubbling in the air. We sat down together to have a conversation about her career and her latest project VERSUS which will be dropping on Friday. The slight raspy texture to her voice adds a subtle sexiness that even my recorder couldn't help but obsess over. After a few introductory giggles, Moozlie began telling me about how the desire she had to be on TV from a young age began to unfold.
Being part of what she describes as the "slash generation", Moozlie manages to juggle her emceeing, presenting and music career like a pro. While she is a veteran at hosting events and presenting on TV, she expresses that she has moved at a slower pace with her music. She has made sure to take the time to learn and experiment more with her music.
Reflecting on the time she spent with these artists, being able to grow a thick skin as well as understanding the need to be patient are two of the biggest lessons she has learnt. "You get a lot of big ideas in your head but it takes a lot to actually bring those ideas to life," Moozlie expresses.
Although her work is always about being true to herself, she does not mind sharing the limelight with her two alter egos, Griselda Blanco and Young Mma Br. Griselda is "an absolute mob boss. She was one of the most renowned women in the Miami drug trade, although I do not condone drugs. I think she just had like a kill or be killed mentality," Moozlie explains. Channeling one of her childhood icons, Young Mma Br helped Moolzie to find her place among the well-known, established artists part of Cash Time.
Continuing with this train of thought, Moolzie emphasized that being a woman in a male-dominated industry should not be looked at in a negative light. "You should use it as a super power because there are so many female stories that have not been told yet. I think that female artists are incredible, not just in rap but all around. I don't think young girls who want to be part of the industry should feel intimidated." For her this super power allows women to translate the fact that women and women's work is the backbone of society. By working towards changing the narrative of women in this industry as survivors to the view that they are conquerors, Moozlie is hoping that her super power will be able to translate that women lay the foundation into the arts.
This attitude can be seen with her upcoming project, VERSUS. "A lot of people wanted me to drop an album but I think because I went to the top of the hip hop game and worked with such big artists, I definitely feel like I missed a few stages. So with VERSUS I just wanted to go back a little bit and work with some of the producers I met along the way." Through these ten tracks Moozlie has tapped into different aspects of her personality. It is a combination of trap, rap, reggae and hip hop, making VERSUS a reflection of the slash generation. "You are going to be dancing, bobbing your head, turning up and chilling in your car. And that makes sense because we live in the slash generation. Although you maybe have particular musical preferences, there are other songs from other genres that many appeal to you too," Moozlie explains.

The iconic Bradbury House at 102 Ocean Way in Pacific Palisades has sold for $12 million to a local woman who intends to make it her primary residence, according to John Aaroe Group, which represented the seller.
Kelly deLaat and Rachelle Rosten, who work in the master trust and probate division of Beverly Hills-based Aaroe Group, represented the trust selling the property. The buyer's name is Monica Salinas, according to deLaat.
The 14-room Spanish Colonial Revival mansion was built in 1923 for Lewis L. Bradbury, Jr., the wealthy son of Lewis L. Bradbury, the Los Angeles real estate developer and mine owner who commissioned the Bradbury Building in downtown. Hollywood starlet and 1920s actress Marion Davies is among those who have resided in the mansion.

"High HIV incidence among persons who inject drugs in Pakistan: greater" by Rab Nawaz Samo, Arshad Altaf et al.
High HIV incidence among persons who inject drugs in Pakistan: greater risk with needle sharing and injecting frequently among the homeless.
The incidence of HIV among persons who inject drugs (PWIDU) has fallen in many nations, likely due to successes of clean needle/syringe exchange and substance abuse treatment and service programs. However in Pakistan, prevalence rates for PWID have risen dramatically. In several cities, prevalence exceeded 20% by 2009 compared to a 2003 baseline of just 0.5%. However, no cohort study of PWID has ever been conducted.
We enrolled a cohort of 636 HIV seronegative PWID registered with three drop-in centers that focus on risk reduction and basic social services in Karachi. Recruitment began in 2009 (March to June) and PWID were followed for two years. We measured incidence rates and risk factors associated with HIV seroconversion.
Incidence of HIV was 12.4 per 100 person-years (95% exact Poisson confidence interval [CI]: 10.3-14.9). We followed 474 of 636 HIV seronegative persons (74.5%) for two years, an annual loss to follow-up of <13 per 100 person years. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, HIV seroconversion was associated with non-Muslim religion (Adjusted risk ratio [ARR] = 1.7, 95%CI:1.4, 2.7, p = 0.03), sharing of syringes (AR = 2.3, 95%CI:1.5, 3.3, p<0.0001), being homeless (ARR = 1.7, 95%CI:1.1, 2.5, p = 0.009), and daily injection of drugs (ARR = 1.1, 95%CI:1.0, 1.3, p = 0.04).
Even though all members of the cohort of PWID were attending risk reduction programs, the HIV incidence rate was very high in Karachi from 2009-2011. The project budget was low, yet we were able to retain three-quarters of the population over two years. Absence of opiate substitution therapy and incomplete needle/syringe exchange coverage undermines success in HIV risk reduction.
