For Bridgeport reporter, handcuffs weren't supposed to be part of the deal
By Tara O'Neill

BRIDGEPORT — The last thing I wanted was to become the subject of a story.
But I spent Friday morning answering questions from fellow Connecticut journalists. They wanted to know what happened the night before — when I was detained and nearly charged by police while doing my job.
I've worked for the Connecticut Post as a breaking news reporter since April 2017. My first major story was the fatal, police shooting of 15-year-old Jayson Negron on May 9, 2017. I've covered just about every incident related to it since then.
Thursday night, during a protest for Negron on the two-year anniversary of his death, 11 people were arrested — people I've come to know over the last two years. I was detained.
I was not officially arrested, according to Bridgeport officials, because I was not charged.
Tell that to the bruises on my wrists from handcuffs.

Family, friends gather on 2-year anniversary of Jayson Negron's death
Earlier that day, between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., I covered the protest and memorial for Negron. Around 8 p.m., things took a turn. There was a confrontation between police and protesters. I grabbed my notebook and rushed to the scene, getting there about 8:20 p.m.
Protesters were back on the street, holding hands in a circle and singing. Soon after, police walked onto Fairfield Avenue and stood together in a line across the two lanes of traffic, facing those gathered for Negron. The road had been shut down to traffic for several hours.
I was facing the direction of the officers when an unknown glass item was thrown toward police. I didn't see who threw it. All I know is that it came from the direction of where protesters were standing.
Police told them they had five minutes to clear off the street. When time was up, the officers started to walk toward the protesters, shouting "Off the street!"
Standing on the sidewalk, filming — well within my rights — I thought I was about to capture footage of protesters being arrested. Instead, I filmed myself getting handcuffed as I yelled out that I was on a public sidewalk and a member of the press. Later, the officer who handcuffed me said he hadn't realized I was media.
I was patted down on Fairfield Avenue, put into a police cruiser and taken to booking. I wasn't brought in right away, since a protester was being processed.
In the minutes I had to myself in the cruiser while the officer stood outside, I managed to get my phone out of my pocket and used the "Hey Siri" feature to call Matt DeRienzo, the vice president of news and digital content for Hearst Connecticut Media. It was nearly 9 p.m. He told me he'd make some calls and figure out what was going on.
In booking, I was taken into an office by a deputy chief and two officers, where I was told I'd be released on a written promise to appear — meaning I would be charged. I was never told what the charge would be. Foolishly, I didn't ask. I expected it would all be explained later. At that point I was able to make some supervised phone calls to my editors on speakerphone.
After the calls, the handcuffs were removed.
I was taken to another area of booking, where I was more thoroughly patted down. My belongings were taken and written down on a "prisoner inventory sheet" before being put into a bag and sealed.
A few minutes later, I was all set to be processed. Instead, I was told I was "un-arrested" and would be escorted out of booking. It was around 9:30 p.m. I was escorted out and headed right for my newsroom.
Looking back at what happened, I'm frustrated to know that there might not have been anything I could have done to prevent it — other than not showing up and doing my job.
Despite official statements indicating I was wearing "plain clothes," it's worth noting that members of the media don't often wear uniforms.
Thursday night, I was dressed similarly to how I've been dressed covering other protests and at crime scenes in Bridgeport and I've never been detained before. When I was cuffed, I was wearing the press badge I wear every day I'm at work — with a photo of me, my name and "Hearst Connecticut Media group" on it.
What I know now is that I never want to hear about this happening to another reporter.
I hope this incident gets more than just headlines and stories that fade after a few days. I hope it gets more people to talk about freedom of press, and about the need for police to respect everyone's rights.

PLEASURES OF THE TELESCOPE.
of the light-waves in the atmosphere provokes many expressions of impatience from the astronomer, but it is often a beautiful phenomenon nevertheless.
Between η and δ is a fifth-magnitude double star, Σ 725, which is worth a moment's attention. The primary, of a reddish color, has a very faint star, eleventh magnitude, at a distance of 12·7" p. 88°.
Still retaining the five-inch in use, we may next turn to the other end of the Belt, where, just under ζ, we perceive the fourth-magnitude star σ. He must be a person of indifferent mind who, after looking with unassisted eyes at the modest glimmering of this little star, can see it as the telescope reveals it without a thrill of wonder and a cry of pleasure. The glass, as by a touch of magic, changes it from one into eight or ten stars. There are two quadruple sets three and a half minutes of arc apart. The first set exhibits a variety of beautiful colors. The largest star, of fourth magnitude, is pale gray; the second in rank, seventh magnitude, distance 42", p. 61°, presents a singular red, "grape-red" Webb calls it; the third, eighth magnitude, distance 12", p. 84°, is blue; and the fourth, eleventh magnitude, distance 12", p. 236°, is apparently white. Burnham has doubled the fourth-magnitude star, distance 0·23". The second group of four stars consists of three of the eighth to ninth magnitude, arranged in a minute triangle with a much fainter star near them. Between the two quadruple sets careful gazing reveals two other very faint stars. While the five-inch gives a more satisfactory view of this wonderful multiple star than any smaller telescope can do, the four-inch and even the three-inch would have shown it to us as a very beautiful object. However we look at them, there is an appearance of association among these stars, shining with their contrasted colors and their various degrees of brilliance, which is significant of the diversity of conditions and circumstances under which the suns and worlds beyond the solar system exist.
From σ let us drop down to see the wonders of Orion's Sword displayed just beneath. We can use with advantage any one of our three telescopes; but since we are going to look at a nebula, it is fortunate that we have a glass so large as five inches aperture. It will reveal interesting things that escape the smaller instruments, because it grasps more than one and a half times as much light as the four-inch, and nearly three times as much as the three-inch; and in dealing with nebulæ a plenty of light is the chief thing to be desired. The middle star in the Sword is θ, and it is surrounded by the celebrated Nebula of Orion. The telescope shows θ, separated into four stars arranged at the corners of an irregular square, and shining in a black gap in the

Establishing a Company in Romania
Romania is a republic in the north-eastern sector of the Balkan Peninsula, which is located in south-east Europe. On its eastern edge, Romania lies to the shores of the Black Sea and the country borders with Moldova, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Serbia and Hungary. Romania is graced with majestic mountain ranges, lush, rustic green valleys, colorful villages and townships, and its cities boast a variety of architectural styles. One of the country's hallmarks, is the immense and awe-inspiring Danube River, that ends its course in Romania, where it spills into the Black Sea.
Romania has existed as a nation since 1866 and gained full independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1877. After World War II, Romania became a communist country under the direct influence of the Soviet Union. The new communist regime was led by the infamous Nicolae Ceausescu, who ruled the country with an iron hand until the revolution of 1989. Since 1989, Romania is making great efforts to bring about a material change in the country's economic development and to make an ideological and practical shift to orderly governance free of corruption and to an efficient and progressive market. The State of Israel and Romania have maintained full diplomatic relationships, already since 1948.
Romania has a population of roughly 20 million residents. In 2004, Romania joined the NATO Alliance and in 2007, the European Union, however, it is not part of the Eurozone group of nations. The local currency is the Romanian Leu, and the country's capital is Bucharest. Forming a company in Romania provides easy access to the European Union market and to the Eastern European market as well.

Three Things You Probably Didn't Know About Romania
Romania holds the title of having the largest number of thermal and mineral water springs in Europe, making it a popular and enchanting destination for spa vacations. Spa hotels and spa tourist locations are spread throughout the country, attracting visitors from a wide swath of society.
Romania recognizes sorcery as a legal and valid profession. Romania is the only country on the planet with such regulatory recognition, a fact that could possibly be reconciled with a few of the stories of legend that are connected to Romania, such as the story of Count Dracula from the Transylvania region.
Nature in Romania is rich and diverse, such that you will find, on the one hand, Europe's largest gold deposits and, on the other hand, many areas of wild, untouched natural environs. This is evidenced by the fact that the country's brown bear population is Europe's largest.
The Romanian Economy
Romania joined the European Economic Community in 2007, after beginning its transition from communism to capitalism in 1989. Alongside widespread poverty, an unwieldly bureaucracy and characteristics of an economy undergoing a process of change, the local economy is already forming a growing, well-founded middle-class. Romania attracts foreign investors, who are diligently and efficiently entering the market, mostly to leverage its location, it's being part of Europe and its ongoing development, for purposes of business activity. The proposition of establishing a company in Romania, lures in many entrepreneurs from a wide range sectors, and not only in the area of real-estate, as was the case a few years ago.
Romania's primary export industries are cars, software products, textile, industrial automation, electronic and electric equipment, meteorological materials, chemicals and raw materials. It conducts most of its trade with a number of European Union countries, primarily with Germany and Italy.
Mellius Corporate Services affords its clients an opportunity to open a company in Romania, in a fashion that will best serve their business needs.

AbCellera to sign multi-target partnership deal with Novartis
Ojaswita Kutepatil February 16, 2019 Pharmaceuticals
AbCellera Biologics Inc., the antibody therapeutics developer based in Vancouver, has reportedly entered into a multi-year, multi-target partnership agreement with Novartis International AG, the Swiss multinational pharmaceutical company.
Reportedly, the agreement entails the identification of antibodies for about ten therapeutic targets in the pipeline of Novartis, with the deployment of a unique combination of microfluidics, genomics, high-throughput imaging, AI (Artificial Intelligence) and deep computing. Under the terms of the agreement, AbCellera is likely to apply its expertise in the discovery of antibodies, as well as its single-cell technology for advancing programs on approximately ten targets selected by Novartis.
Sources claimed that AbCellera is eligible for receiving research funding, technology access, royalties on net sales of products and downstream milestone payments. The company is said to be using AI/machine learning, advanced genomic sequencing and techniques of data visualization to scrutinize a multitude of antibody molecules in order to discover the best drug candidates.
According to an official release by AbCellera, Carl Hansen, CEO & President, AbCellera, was recently quoted saying that the company continues building on its image as a high-powered, premier provider of therapeutic discovery of antibody from organic immune responses. He added that the new association with Novartis signifies a major evolution of its partnering strategy, growing from target-based partnerships to deal structures that foster long-term relationships and render wide access to technology to select partners.
For the record, the company, over the last three years, has successfully concluded over thirty antibody discovery programs including important deals with seven world-class pharmaceutical companies and top-level venture-backed, public biotech companies.
According to authentic reports, the core technology of AbCellera is a high-throughput microfluidics system helping in the screening of countless antibody-producing B cells obtained from natural sources, for seeking out the best antibodies for any specific target, with specificity, high affinity or various relevant binding aspects.
Industry experts cite that AbCellera's new approach has brought about a drastic change in antibody discovery and has also reduced the discovering duration from three months to nearly one single day.

Apocalypse Soon: Will current global warming trigger a mass extinction?
Published on August 10, 2021 August 11, 2021 by zooks7772 Comments
Since the start of 2020 I doubt there has been much field research. But such a vast amount of data has been amassed over the years that there must be opportunities to keep the academic pot boiling. One way is to look for new correlations between different kinds of data. For instance matching the decades-old time series of extinctions with those of other parameters that have changed over geological time. At a time of growing concern about anthropogenic climate change a group based at the State Key Laboratory of Biogeology and Environmental Geology, at China University of Geosciences, Wuhan have checked the extinction rates of marine fossils over the last 450 Ma against variations in sea-surface temperature (Song, H. et al 2021. Thresholds of temperature change for mass extinctions. Nature Communications, v. 12, Article number 4694; DOI: 0.1038/s41467-021-25019-2).
Extinction data are usually presented in time 'bins' based on the number of disappearances of fossil genera in one or a number of geological Stages – the finest divisions of the stratigraphic column. The growing data set for sea-surface temperatures derived using oxygen isotopes from marine fossil shells is more continuous, being derived from many different layers of suitable sedimentary rock within a Stage. Clearly, the two kinds of data have to be expressed in a similar way to check for correlations. Haijun Song and co-workers converted both the extinction and temperature time series to 45 time 'bins', each around 10 Ma long. They express the binned climatic data in two ways: as the largest temperature change (°C) and the highest rate of temperature change (°C Ma-1) within each bin. That is, they expressed to some extent the greater continuity of seawater temperature data as well as matching them to those for extinctions.
Changes since the end of the Ordovician: red = extinction rate in time bins; green = the greatest magnitude of change in temperature in each bin; blue- the greatest rate of temperature change in each bin. Grey bars show mass extinctions (Credit: Song et al., Fig 1)
There are good correlations between the climatic and extinction data, particularly for mass extinctions. Bearing in mind that mass extinctions take place far more rapidly than can be expressed with 10 Ma time bins, the authors were concerned that bias could creep into the binned extinction data. They were able to discount this by examining both data sets in finer detail at the times of the 'Big 5' extinctions. Earlier research had identified warming episodes around the times of each mass extinction, often implicating greenhouse-gas emissions from Large Igneous Provinces. Yet there are other factors that may have influenced the 7 'lesser' mass extinctions in the fossil record. The authors are sufficiently confident in the correlations they have revealed to suggest thresholds that seem to have launched major mass extinctions: greater than 5.2 °C and 10 °C Ma-1 for magnitudes and rates of sea-surface temperature change, respectively.
In the context of the modern climate, the data analysis predicts that a rise of 5.2 °C above the preindustrial mean global temperature spells extinctions of 'Big Five' magnitude. The rate of temperature increase since 1880 – 0.08 ° per decade – is hugely faster than that expressed by the data that span the last 450 Ma. This is more alarming than the stark Sixth Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC released on 9 August 2021.

Closure for the K-Pg extinction event?
Published on January 28, 2020 February 10, 2020 by zooks777Leave a comment
Anyone who has followed the saga concerning the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous Period (~66 Ma ago) , which famously wiped out all dinosaurs except for the birds, will know that its cause has been debated fiercely over four decades. On the one hand is the Chicxulub asteroid impact event, on the other the few million years when the Deccan flood basalts of western India belched out gases that would have induced major environmental change across the planet. Support has swung one way or the other, some authorities reckon the extinction was set in motion by volcanism and then 'polished-off' by the impact, and a very few have appealed to entirely different mechanism lumped under 'multiple causes'. One factor behind the continuing disputes is that at the time of the Chicxulub impact the Deccan Traps were merrily pouring out Disentanglement hangs on issues such as what actual processes directly caused the mass killing. Could it have been starvation as dust or fumes shut down photosynthesis at the base of the food chain? What about toxic gases and acidification of ocean water, or being seared by an expanding impact fireball and re-entering incandescent ejecta? Since various lines of evidence show that the late-Cretaceous atmosphere had more oxygen that today's the last two may even have set the continents' vegetation ablaze: there is evidence for soots in the thin sediments that mark the K-Pg boundary. The other unresolved issue is timing: of volcanogenic outgassing; of the impact, and of the extinction itself. A new multi-author, paper may settle the whole issue (Hull, P.M and 35 others 2020. On impact and volcanism across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary. Science, v. 367, p. 266-272; DOI: 10.1126/science.aay5055).
Marine temperature record derived from δ18O and Mg/Ca ratios spanning 1.5 Ma that includes the K-Pg boundary: the bold brown line shows the general trend derived from the data points (Credit: Hull et al. 2020; Fig 1)
The multinational team approached the issue first by using oxygen isotopes and the proportion of magnesium relative to calcium (Mg/Ca ratio) in fossil marine shells (foraminifera and molluscs) in several ocean-floor sediment cores, through a short interval spanning the last 500 thousand years of the Cretaceous and the first million years of the Palaeocene. The first measures are proxies for seawater temperature. The results show that close to the end of the Cretaceous temperature rose to about 2°C above the average for the youngest Cretaceous (the Maastrichtian Age; 72 to 66 Ma) and then declined. By the time of the mass extinction (66 Ma) sea temperature was back at the average and then rose slightly in the first 200 ka of Palaeocene to fall back to the average at 350 ka and then rose slowly again.

The second approach was to look in detail at carbon isotopes (δ13C) – a measure of changes in the marine carbon cycle – and oxygen isotopes (δ18O) in deep water foraminifera and bulk carbonate from the sediment cores, in comparison to the duration of Deccan volcanism (66.3 to 65.4 Ma). The δ13C measure from bulk carbonate stays roughly constant in the Maastrichtian, then falls sharply at 66 Ma. The δ13C of the deep water forams rises to a peak at 66 Ma. The δ18O measure of temperature peaks and declines at the same times as it does for the mixed fossils. Also examined was the percentage of coarse sediment grains in the muds from the cores. That measure is low during the Maastrichtian and then rises sharply at the K-Pg boundary.
Since warming seems almost certainly to be a reflection of CO2 from the Deccan (50 % of total Deccan outgassing), the data suggest not only a break in emissions at the time of the mass extinction but also that by then the marine carbon system was drawing-down its level in air. The δ13C data clearly indicate that the ocean was able to absorb massive amounts of CO2 at the very time of the Chicxulub impact and the K-Pg boundary. Flood-basalt eruption may have contributed to the biotic aftermath of the extinction for as much as half a million years. The collapse in the marine fossil record seems most likely to have been due to the effects of the Chicxulub impact. A third study – of the marine fossil record in the cores – undertaken by, presumably, part of the research team found no sign of increased extinction rates in the latest Cretaceous, but considerable changes to the marine ecosystem after the impact. It therefore seems that the K-Pg boundary impact 'had an outsized effect on the marine carbon cycle'. End of story? As with earlier 'breaks through'; we shall see.

Just in time for the festive season I have been sent the URL for an on-line impact simulator written by a team from Imperial College London and the University of Arizona (Collins, G.S. et al. 2005. Earth Impact Effects Program: A Web-based computer program for calculating the regional environmental consequences of a meteoroid impact on Earth. Meteoritics and Planetary Science, v. 40, p. 817–840), with a web presence designed at Purdue University, Indiana. ImpactEarth (http://www.purdue.edu/impactearth/) has been around for two years and has a scientifically pleasing level of precision, thanks to the authors, Gareth Collins, Jay Melosh and Robert Marcus.
The fact that the target shown by the accompanying animation and other graphics seems to be the Washington-New York megalopolis may be a cause for some concern for US readers, especially the Department of Homeland Security, National Security Agency and CIA. They can rest easy, however, as this seems to be a matter of artistic license: the choice of parameters allows for ocean strikes and targets of sedimentary or crystalline rocks. Others are impactor diameter and density, impact angle and speed, plus distance from ground zero. An element of whimsy allows the casual user to choose inbound humpback whales, school buses and the Empire State Building as well as more astronomically likely scenarios.
There are a number of missing parameters such as direction relative to Earth's rotation, latitude and the likely affect of an ice-cap strike, and no mention in the results of the electromagnetic burst from atmospheric compression on entry – the Diesel effect. However, the thermal effects on bystanders, buildings and vegetation at the 'viewpoint' personalise the experience to some extent. It is the detail about crater dimensions and evolution, lithospheric melting and what might happen to the Earth's axial tilt and day length that the wealth of computations produce surprises. It is not easy to destroy our planet: using a body with a density of 3000 kg m-3 and the diameter of Asia causes no significant melting or changes in axial tilt at speeds less than 12 km s-1, but does change the length of the day by up to 113 hours. This is because the power of impacts and therefore the work done by them is proportional to the square of the speed. Mind you, nothing is left standing as the seismic effect has a Richter Magnitude of more than 15! Yet, curiously, no atmospheric or thermal radiation effects are noted.

In Hopedale, the pandemic swept through the then-bustling Draper mill, infecting an estimated 400 people, she said – about 10 percent of the workforce.
HOPEDALE – This fall marks the 100th anniversary of the deadly 1918 Spanish Influenza pandemic, and a local historian is marking the milestone in a hyperlocal way.
"It was only the beginning …" a Sept. 27 post to The Hopedale Women's History Project Facebook page begins, ominously.
The post memorializes Hopedale residents Walter James Morton and John J. Grady, the first two victims in town to succumb to the disease. A black and white photo of Red Cross nurses holding stretchers, heads snapped to the camera, and white masks obscuring all but their eyes, accentuates the text.
The post, 100 years to the day after Morton's death, was put up by Hopedale native and Worcester State University adjunct history professor Linda Hixon.
Hixon is researching Hopedale on a variety of topics, and plans to post each of Hopedale's 21 flu-suspected deaths on her Facebook page on or around the date each person died. Where the record shows a handful died close together, she said, she'll likely post them together.
The Spanish Influenza killed at least 50 million people worldwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control, with the United States seeing about 675,000 of those deaths. One-third of the world's population at the time became infected.
The actual death toll could be double the CDC number, Hixon said, with some countries unsure of their totals.
In Hopedale, Hixon was able to pin 21 deaths to the pandemic. It swept through the then-bustling Draper mill, infecting an estimated 400 people, she said – about 10 percent of the workforce. Her research shows eight deaths among Draper workers, but that only includes Hopedale residents, she pointed out.
She hopes to research more deeply into Draper records for a more complete picture.
What was especially unusual about the 1918 flu, Hixon said, was the age range it hit hardest – people in their prime. Today's flu typically is most dangerous to the old, the young, and the immunocompromised.
"This flu was different, this flu was actually really scary," she said.
In Hopedale, flu deaths started in late September – a couple weeks after it began in surrounding towns – and took three babies, a teenager, several people in their 20s and 30s, and a 64-year-old.
Hixon was also able to find the job titles for most of the people who died. Twenty-six-year-old Morton, the first death, was listed as a fireman at Draper, while 37-year-old Grady, who died the next day, was a plumber at the company.
Those killed also included an assistant superintendent at Draper, a butcher, a governess, a wood pattern maker, and at least three housewives. She even has an address for each.
Her posts will continue through 2019, Hixon said, ending with 33-year-old South Main Street resident Ethel V. Aldrich, who died March 6.
Following along the shadow timeline of 100 years ago, the next, particularly tragic deaths are set for Friday and Saturday – a stillborn boy identified only as Davenport, and housewife Gertrude May Stevens Cook, 22.

We recently had the chance to chat with Media Molecule's Rex Crowle about all things Tearaway and Tearaway Unfolded. Rex is the Creative Director on Tearaway Unfolded and has spent nearly a decade at Media Molecule, witnessing and participating in the creation of LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet 2, and then going on to be the Lead Creator for Tearaway. Here's what he had to say.
Q: What was the decision process behind bringing Tearaway over to PlayStation 4? When did this happen in relation to the game's original release on PlayStation Vita?
Rex Crowle: It was kind of ongoing, I mean nothing started on it until we'd actually finished the Vita version, but when we were showing the game you know, on the big screen at E3 it was kind of unusual to see a handheld game up on the big screen. And we'd started to realise that because that it's a very kind of bold, very crisp art style that it'd actually look pretty good on a bigger screen and it wasn't just designed for a tiny handheld.
So it felt that the world and the game could work, but we had no idea whether it would actually work as a game and it was really just a big experiment to see if it would, so we didn't have some kind of message to come down to Sony and say "we need to make a PS4 version!" It just felt that we wanted to explore it ourselves to see if it was possible and we all kind of enjoyed using the hardware and what potential there is, not so much in the processing power as that's related to our engines and getting sort of the visual beauty that we're looking for but it's more about the actual physical hardware for us.
We're all intrigued by the DualShock 4 and really, if we'd just tried to do a giant port no-one would have been into it and it would have been very hard to keep everyone focused on it and really feel some passion and energy about making a new version of Tearaway. But we were really focusing on interesting ways to develop and expand on the game and it really all kind of started to fall into place. As soon as we realised it was all about the controller and it was all about the fact that the world instead of being in your hands now was inside your TV and there would be this distance between you and the world. Once we got that metaphor and focused on that we could come up with different mechanics to support it.
Q: What kind of challenges emerged from that transition over from the Vita? Are there any particular stories that you think are worth sharing in relation to that?
Rex Crowle: For me it's been important to us to not think of Unfolded as being necessarily, you know, a definitive version but like a different version. There's things about it that we've been able to do that we could never do on Vita and there's things on the Vita that is special to that. There was no way in trying to bring over like, trying to push your fingers into the game by using the back-touch on the PS4 as it's like "who's fingers are those?" – cause you're not actually pushing on anything.
A particular challenge for us was the camera, because it'd be very hard for you not to have a camera on the Vita, so you and everyone would have it. On PlayStation 4, now that's not a given, so we weren't really sure how we could still try and get those similar feelings and that kind of was a catalyst for us to work on the companion app [on iPhone & Android] so that even though you might not have a direct feed of yourself in the game, it would allow players who don't have a camera to send in more of the world around them by taking photos and populate the texture in the world with them and bringing some more sort of personal customisation to the world using the app.
Q: Was there a particular goal set for Tearaway Unfolded on PlayStation 4 that differed to the goal originally set for Tearaway on Vita?
Rex Crowle: Oh well I'm not sure we ever think far enough ahead to set a goal really! I mean Tearaway on the Vita was a very organic project which changed a lot through its development. Although it was a world always made of out paper it, at some point, had been like a location-based RPG. So yeah there were all kinds of different versions of it.
Really with Unfolded we were able to be more focused on it. We knew what the game was, we had the game on Vita as almost like concept art to work from and the goal I guess really was to just fully realise all of the ideas that… well we didn't manage to get everything from the original in that we wanted to so to bring some of those out more and then also to focus so much on the controller and getting the most out of the DualShock 4 as we don't really feel that it's fully utilised at the moment. The TouchPad tends to unfortunately just get used as like a replacement for the options button and it's kind of a shame really, that's a very big options button on the pad! So we just wanted to bring the hardware to life and give it personality.
Q: While developing Tearaway on Vita, were there features that had to be cut that you've now implemented in Tearaway Unfolded? Or perhaps features and mechanics that were completely fresh that you've thrown in now?
Rex Crowle: It was pretty important to us that although our features can be kind of quite wild they also need to really make sense – you're not just pressing a button to make something happen. For instance, with the original Vita version you'd place your fingers on the back-touch and your fingers tear into the world. We're trying not to have something that's very contrived, you know like you're swiping on the back to throw a grenade or something and it's like "I'm not sure if swiping on the back of a console is, you know, a representation of that behaviour." So it makes direct sense that if I push on the back of the world I'm holding I'll see my fingers push up into that world.
So we got rid of anything that just wouldn't work on the new hardware as there wouldn't be like a big metaphor between what you're doing that would link to what's happening in the game world, and that's just the main example. With the DualShock 4, the relationship with it is very different now, as you're going to be sitting on your couch and the world is going to be inside your TV and there's going to be a distance between you and the world. So a lot of the gameplay ideas that we came up with were about that metaphor and about the fact that the world is a little further away from you, so we made something of the space and the distance between the two of you.
So it's mechanics where the characters can pick up objects in the world and then throw them at the TV and you catch them in the pad, you hear them inside the pad, and swipe on the pad to throw them back into the game world. It's all about that connection between the pad you're holding and the game world inside your TV.
Q: Tearaway was renowned for its excellent use of the Vita's features, how did that translate over to the PlayStation 4 version? What kind of decision-making process went into substituting those features to make use of the DualShock 4 and PlayStation Camera?
Rex Crowle: Yeah so as I was saying, some just obviously weren't going to work and we just had to remove them. There's not a huge amount of features that have come over but one that was modified would be the drum skins in the game. So in the Vita version of Tearaway you can tap the back of the Vita and this bouncy, stretched paper would all bounce and bounce characters into the air. It's a nice, satisfying thing to do because you're not just bouncing yourself, you're bouncing all of the other characters in the game and we didn't really want to lose it. So having the big TouchPad button on the DualShock 4 allowed us to experiment with using that and it felt satisfying to just push it even though you were essentially doing the opposite to what was in the Vita version, and you'd be pushing down instead of tapping up. But it meant we also had to change the behavior of the drum skins, so as you hold down on the TouchPad the drum skin is actually depressing and is squashed down with a bit of tension on it, and when you let go it pings the character into the air.
So that was one that we kept but the output is the same yet the input is quite different. It's kind of subtle, but all of these things we'll argue about forever and you know we have quite a lot of healthy debate on the team about ways to bring some of these features to life and how they should react to you.
Q: How have you and the team expanded on Tearaway from a story/narrative perspective? There was a bit of confusion around the time of the original reveal over whether Unfolded was just a port or something quite different!
Rex Crowle: Well I think there's bound to be confusion as it isn't really a thing that happens often. There's definitely a trend now with HD remakes and we can all enjoy the convenience of, you know… we just get lazy or we have limited space and all of those games for me, like even on the PS3, I'm quite happy to get them again on PS4 because my PS3 is somewhere else!
So yeah, we have tried to take this slightly strange path of doing something that's halfway between a remake and a sequel. Mainly because, well, it wouldn't work to just port it over anyway because the gameplay would've needed to change and we're kind of excited game-makers and we can't resist just going the extra mile or hundred miles to just rebuild the world as we're going and fix some of the things that we weren't quite happy with.
Kenny Young and Myself, Kenny's a Composer and Head of Audio, we were working on the story together and we were able to put some more twists and turns in and there are characters that narrate the game who we were able to bring out a lot more because of all the deadlines with like getting actors in for recordings and stuff and we weren't able to flesh them out in the first game. So we've been able to make a lot more of them as characters and bring out some more humour in the world and we collaborated as well this time with a writer that I've known from a long time back, Mark Hill, who's worked on Fable and he's been able to bring out some more of the folklore and the backstories of the other characters in the game.
Q: Personally, what's your favourite thing about Tearaway on PlayStation 4 that couldn't have been achieved on the Vita?
Rex Crowle: It's a funny feature but I do really like the animated gif mode and being able to share stuff out of the game. It's a really nice one because the way the game moves is so unique and it's maybe because I have a background in animation, but I enjoy just being able to capture those tiny snapshots of the game and see them looping forever.
In terms of something more gameplay-related, it's just generally more atmosphere in the game, because it has quite a bold art style like the brightly coloured paper and such, we've been able to this time round really work on the lighting and make sure that not only is it bright and colourful, but there's also very nuanced lighting in there as well. So essentially what Mark Zarb-Adami, our engine coder, is trying to do is remove all digital artefacts in the game so you just see a world made out of paper that responds exactly as you'd expect it to. So basically just a general, peaceful world essentially!
Q: On the other side of the spectrum, for players who are new to Tearaway – if you had one thing to pick out from the game for them to look forward to, what would it be?
Rex Crowle: I think essentially it's not one thing but it's more I guess that they'd be probably surprised about what's in the game. Sometimes there's a little bit of a misconception that, you know, it's this cute game where cute things happen and that it's very child-focused but I think they'd probably be surprised with all of the different elements that are in the game and the twists and turns. And the fact that a lot of players who played the Vita version had a far more emotional experience than they were expecting and it was kind of a big deal to them and I was really, really pleased that we were able to pull that off.
So I think probably the emotional element of the game may be the biggest surprise for them.
Q: Finally, what's been the most exciting thing about working on Tearaway Unfolded on the PlayStation 4?
Rex Crowle: It's just really being able to fully develop the game and have kind of a second chance at it. To be able to bring out more beauty, add in more characters, add in more gameplay and you know add in all of these things that we'd love to have done with the original game if we had two extra years and luckily someone gave us two extra years, so yeah we've been able to do that!
Tearaway Unfolded is out now exclusively on PlayStation 4. We'll have a review up later this week.

Escenes d'infants, originalment en alemany Kinderszenen, op. 15, és un cicle pianístic de Robert Schumann escrit el 1838.

La partitura es correspon amb un període turmentat de la vida de Schumann (que contrasta amb el caràcter serè de l'obra), quan el pare de Clara Wieck, l'amant del compositor, va rebutjar la seva petició de mà de la seva filla. D'aquest any són també altres peces mestres per al piano de Schumann, entre elles Kreisleriana.

L'obra es compon de tretze breus peces i la seva execució demana entre 15 i 20 minuts aproximandament. Els títols, els afegí el mateix compositor a posteriori.

 De gents i països estrangers (Von fremden Ländern und Menschen)
 Curiosa història (Kuriose Geschiste)
 L'home cec (Hasche Mann)
 El nen suplicant (Bittendes Kind)
 Felicitat perfecta (Glückes genug)
 Un esdeveniment important (Wichtige Begenbenheit)
 Somiant (Träumerei)
 A la cantonada del foc (Am Kamin)
 Cavaller sobre el cavall de bosc (Ritter vom Steckenpferd)
 De manera gairebé massa seriosa (Fast zu ernst)
 De por (Fürchtenmachen)
 El nen s'adorm (Kind im Einschlummern)
 El poeta parla (Der Dichter spricht)

Why aren't you using Google Website Optimizer? | Dan Moore!
Why aren't you using Google Website Optimizer?
I've been using Google Website Optimizer (GWO) in one form or another for over a year now, and I am quite impressed. I wish everyone would take a look at this technology.
The short version of this post is: if you have a website that gets some traffic, and actions that you want a user to take, such as buying something, you should use GWO.
Let's talk about GWO a bit more for everyone who didn't leave after the executive summary.
It is a free add in to your website that lets you test the effect of content changes on desired user actions. For example, you can test the impact of different headlines ('Sign up for more information' or 'Free Newsletter!', etc) on a newsletter signup page to see how it affects how many users sign up.
I could try to write about it more, but instead, here's a video that explains how to set up a test; you can watch the first 45 seconds to get a good overview of what GWO helps you test, but the whole video is worth viewing.
Now, how should GWO be used?
Next, why would you avoid GWO? There are a number of scenarios where using this tool just doesn't make sense.
This is the biggest set of sites for which GWO does not make sense, and my blog falls into it. My end goal is really to talk to someone, on the phone or over coffee, to ascertain whether or not I can help them with my services. That's a hard conversion to track. If you really want to get people talking on the phone, that is a conversion that GWO doesn't help track either (though it's possible you could do something with VOIP or different phone numbers and cobble some kind of conversion tracking together).
That's not to say that sites in this category can't use GWO. For instance, I wrote an article long ago about a java technology called JAAS, and it's still pretty popular. I've been doing some testing on that page to try to drive traffic to this blog, where a big chunk of my current writing is happening. I was able to increase conversion about 2.5 times (granted, from a small base–0.7% to 1.73%). I could definitely try to do some optimizations around ad placement or contact calls to action. The main reason I haven't is that I still believe my best chance at conversion is referral or word of mouth, not better text on a website.
For providing this valuable service, Google could get a look at a lot of interesting data including how many websites optimize, what site admins are tracking, and what URLs those admins consider important. I have no idea what Google actually does with the data–the company may not track the data at all. I did a bit of looking on the GWO forum, but didn't find anything useful. However, if you don't want Google having access to this data, then you shouldn't use GWO. I don't use Google Analytics for this very reason.
If you don't have much traffic, your effort will be better spent driving more people to your website. Whether you use search engine optimization, TV advertising, pay per click campaigns, or my favorite, regularly posted organic content, traffic is a prerequisite to using GWO effectively. How much traffic? Well, I was able to get conclusive results in my JAAS experiment with 3466 views and 48 conversions in just about 3 months. That's about 40 views a day. I was not testing a ton of variations in my content (only 3).
I don't believe this is a valid excuse–spend 7 minutes and watch the video; I believe you'll see that this is worth a bit of investigating if the above scenarios don't apply to you.
I can't think of any other reasons not to use GWO. Feel free to leave a comment if you feel I missed something.
Well, if I've convinced you that GWO is worth looking at, you might want to do a bit of further research. Here's the website optimizer homepage. Here's the official GWO blog. Here's a great article full of tips for GWO. There's a book called Always Be Testing that seems pretty well received that you might want to check out. I have not read it.
Disclaimer: I'd love to help you out with this (if interested, contact me), but firmly believe that almost anyone can take 30-45 minutes and implement this on their website. I think GWO is great, cool, useful technology and want to see it used more to make the web a better place.
In regards to GWO not working on sites like WordPress, there actually is a plugin which allows you to use GWO on a WordPress site: http://websiteoptimizer.contentrobot.com/ With the number of plugins available for WP, I actually find it to be a very flexible platform to build a site with. My site has a huge amount of content and interactivity, and it has scaled very well.
Thanks for the article, Dan!
That's a great plugin for WordPress–thanks for posting it.
My point above is that WordPress.com (which provides excellent free blog hosting) doesn't allow you to use GWO (via manual template editing or that plugin).


Its been busy and I just havent had time to take care of the spam that the site got hit with. Don't worry though, I've take a couple more precautions to prevent it in the future. I may have lost a couple posts or newer user accounts by accident. If you registered before November 10th 2012 you are fine.
Again sorry about the issues!
I think I might take the site down soon. Any objection?

Motorola Envisions the Cellphone of the Future
Hyper futuristic cellphone concepts are usually the province of student competitions. But Motorola tasked designers from its offices around the world to create a visionary cellphone replacement, and here are the results.
By Cliff Kuang 1 minute Read
As Core 77 reports, the effort was part of an organization wide effort to push a "design mythology": That is, a set of "universal aspirations" that might lend Motorola a coherent vision for product development, which it has sorely lacked (witness how the company has lurched from near-perfect designs like the PEBL to various half-hearted, easily forgotten products). So it tasked 31 designers around the globe to spend a portion of their time working on "Motorola 2033." They were asked to explore seven plausible technology developments, each of which are perhaps 25 years away from being commonplace:
— Communication could be ambient, always on and people could live online
— Computers and mobile devices could be embedded in the ordinary
— "Using Software" could vanish; only interface and human interaction would remain
— Device interaction could become natural, predictive, and fluid so people could be free to relax
— Molecular manufacturing could revolutionize production
— Technology could outpace the brain's ability to absorb, intelligent 'agents' filter
— Objects could access "The Cloud" at will
This resulted in three designs.
1. The U.K. office proposed a prosthesis that mounts in the ridge of the nose, and which overlays the wearer's vision with virtual information about the people and places they're looking at. Thus, it makes the increasingly popular concept of "augmented reality" ubiquitous and always on:
2. The North American office produced Origami: A cellphone that's more of a transformer, with functions that vary based on shape. The user interaction becomes pure fun, as you fold and crease the device to access the various features:
3. Communidad from South America seems well within reach: The wafer-thin device would project information and touchscreens on any surface (note that a "virtual keyboard," which is just light projected onto a surface is already here, while pico projectors are currently seeing rapid advances):
10 Tiny Pico Projectors that Fit in the Palm of Your Hand
What Will Cars Look Like in 2049?
[Via Core 77, which has more of the concepts]

Sorry for the delayed updates everybody, I HATE to make excuses, and I didn't want to be a debbie downer, but wanted to inform you all that our old friend (my best friend) Bob isn't doing so well and I've been making trips up to the Pittsburgh hospital to visit with him. For those Yirmumah fans here that remember him and might be worried, basically he got into a terrible accident while mowing his grandmother's grass and a rock the size of a grenade blasted into his leg, shattering his leg bone. They did surgery and he seemed fine last week when I visited, but took a turn for the worse with whatever medicines they were giving him, and now he's stuck in some sort of delirium. It's been rough to see and deal with personally.

Anti-hustle Marketing and Business Development for Freelancers
Time: 4-5 p.m. ET
Marketing a freelance editing business can be uncomfortable for some of us. Some of the most often recommended strategies can turn off those of us who don't gravitate towards large networks or who aren't happy participants in the structures of late capitalism.
What if your marketing strategy could also come from a place of generosity? Of giving with no expectation of return? Of anti-hustle, of unsales, of give without take? How might such an approach still enable you to pay the rent?
In this one-hour webcast, we'll discuss the three-part anti-hustle strategy that I've used to double my freelance income in the past 12 months. We'll discuss how giving away your favorite editing secrets, putting the spotlight on others, and amplifying the ACES brand can bring you more clients—and enable you to help other editors find clients too.
Cost: Free for ACES members/$30 for nonmembers

Thanks a lot for the insight. I will try to keep up with this always evolving subject besides my daily networking job. I will for sure try to pursue this path.
I have some C knowledge alongside php/html/JS. I will start by reading some books I have already checked out in the book section.


Sunday 28th of April was one morning i did not see coming. I had only been home in sydney for 3 days when i started suffering from stomach pains and constant vomiting which resulted in my dad needing to rush me to the emergency room at St George Hospital at 5am. It only took a quick review by 1 doctor to diagnose me with appendicitis and book me in for surgery that morning.
My Operation went as well as expected with no complications and doctor said i should make a full recovery in 6 weeks time.
I am currently released from hospital and back at home where i can now concentrate on my recovery.


The Caochangdi Art District is regarded as "the spiritual promised land for Chinese contemporary art" by a great many Chinese people. Following 798 Art District, Caochangdi, which located on the eastern outskirts of Beijing, has become another Holy Land for Chinese contemporary art.
The food stalls along the street, the aisles filled with hanging clothes and the dusty building sites are hard to associate with a contemporary art district. However, most parts of Caochangdi are hiding in such places.
"The construction of Caochangdi Art District came slightly later than 798 Art District. Although not far away, it is unlike 798 which has already become a wonderful place for tourists. "We positioned ourselves on a more experimental and more academic level, mainly servicing the professionals", Tian Huafeng, the curator of Lee Space of Red No. 1 at Caochangdi introduced. At present, there are a large number of arts organizations that have located in the Caochangdi Art District, including the "Ai Weiwei Studio" which is known for its famous "the fine wine is not afraid of being isolated" and a few other workshops which are committed to creatively producing documentary videos and theaters.
"I have been interested in Caochangdi Art District since its establishment. I prefer come here to indulge myself for a whole day from time to time", Mr. Ding, an old man retired from the Institute Department of Aviation said, "While some roads outside are very dirty, the works displayed here are quite pleasant. Most works are avant-garde and completely different from the traditional Chinese art."
Assisting the new fellow with a "single mind"
"The value of art must be built on the value of academics. If commercial value comes first than the academic value is a perversion", Gu Zhenqing, the curator expressed. As the investor for the Lee Space, Gu Zhenqing adhered to the academic position through his twenty-year exhibition planning career.
As an artistic platform, The Caochangdi Art District took much count of assisting young artists and considered less the commercial factors. The employment of the "Zero Capital Policy" allowed numbers of outstanding young artists to come into public view. "If he has potential but no money, we can help him. We can sign a contract with him and provide him with a studio." Sun Liangang, the founder of the Art District at Caochangdi said "An artist has no time to think over the market when creating a work. If an artist considers how to sell his works while is designing, I will not accept his works."
The Caochangdi Art District has often organized activities to introduce new faces. The second Premise Behavior Art Festival will be held at Caochangdi from 1 to 3 of May, the theme of which is "the possibility of youth". The participating artists are all very young. More significantly, the activity will contain more international perspectives and designs.
Reflection in the "cold winter"
In 2003, The Chinese contemporary art market began to boom; in the spring of 2005, the Chinese art market presented a unprecedented "Fanaticism" state; in 2007, China's share in the world art auction market exceeded France, ranking third in the world. Nevertheless, the current financial crisis has spread into the Chinese contemporary art industry. "It is time to further strengthen the academic value. It is common that the artists who do not refine academic knowledge will be washed out." Gu zhenqing stressed.
"We hope to have an art gallery environment, which can ensure a quiet space for us to do art promotion and display," Lee Suqiao, supervisor of Beijing Gallery said, "In 2009, we are going to hold 10 overseas exhibitions and six domestic exhibitions, from which we wish to promote genuine and pure art."

If you include the end date of Aug 19, 2023 which is a Saturday, then there would be 30,351 weekdays and 12,141 weekend days including both the starting Friday and the ending Saturday.
42,491 days is equal to 6,070 weeks and 1 day.
The total time span from 1907-04-19 to 2023-08-19 is 1,019,784 hours.

VIRGIL ABLOH AND NIKE PRESENT THE TEN sees the OFF-WHITE™ head reconstruct ten of Nike's most standout silhouettes. Following several drops, there's another chance to get your pairs… Read on!
Running rampant through some of Nike's most iconic models, Virgil Abloh makes dreams a reality with The Ten series – a collaborative exploration of 10 crucial silhouettes from the Nike and Converse back catalogue. The Ten is a slow release collaboration that will consist of two phases, titled "REVEALING" and "GHOSTING." Kicking off proceedings with the "REVEALING" drop, Abloh presents a deconstructed and accessible hand cut spin on the AIR JORDAN 1, NIKE BLAZER, NIKE AIR PRESTO, NIKE AIR MAX 90, and NIKE AIR VAPORMAX, using an X-ACTO knife to reveal the foam on tongues, moving branding details, and slightly skewing the Swoosh placements for subtle differences in their instantly recognisable designs.
The second drop of the series, "GHOSTING," followed the first, taking shape in a variety of translucent uppers to further unite the more varied range of selected silhouettes on offer, which includes the NIKE ZOOM FLY SP, NIKE AIR FORCE 1 LOW, NIKE REACT HYPERDUNK 2017, and NIKE AIR MAX 97. A special edition of the CONVERSE CHUCK TAYLOR will arrive in early 2018.
We'll let the official images from Nike do most of the talking, but the collaboration speaks volumes without doing much at all: pairing Abloh's pure passion for the brand with his ability to create a stripped back and unique take on ten footwear icons.
The first wave of THE TEN collection dropped back in September, selling out immediately (as you might have predicted), followed by another, wider drop at other retailers (which was just as popular). For those who missed out, there's another drop taking place today on MONDAY 20 NOVEMBER: click the banner below to get involved. Good luck!
