Want kitchen design ideas? Here are u-shaped kitchens in black and white.
If you want to achieve a classy and sophisticated look – whether this be in your fashion style or in your home design- choosing the black and white combination never gets old. When you want to have that simple yet fantastic look, this combo will always be a great go-to! If you check the internet for black and white stuff, you'll be seeing the best stuff there is – just imagine a panda and it feels like you have it all.
I might have blabbered a lot there, but I'm pretty sure that you get my point guys. Today, we will be showing you a list of 24 Stylish Black and White U-Shaped Kitchen layouts which I think is fabulous and definitely a great option when you are choosing what layout to pick. Check out the list below and tell us your favorite!
This beautiful Portland kitchen sure exemplifies what we should be expecting in this list. A standard U-shaped kitchen layout with hints of black and white in the materials used with it and with the room itself. Personally, I think that the traditional style of the kitchen cabinets and drawers in this kitchen is just beautifully crafted to fit the style and need of the client.
This lovely kitchen area is just perfect for those small meals that you'd be preparing like for breakfast or for snacks. The home owners would easily be able to whip up a neat breakfast for one another and enjoy it in this very kitchen without the need to really go to the dining area. Adding stools in kitchens add to the inviting part of the food preparation.
I think that the gas ranges in here with that exhaust and bronze pans is just stunning! I have been enjoying going to appliance stores because I love seeing the beautiful range available right now in the market. I'm a home baker with a table top oven and seeing ranges like this one makes my heart skip a beat!
Tell me what you think about this kitchen? Aside from its evidently beautiful pendant lamps and kitchen furniture? The layout is very common and traditional, but very helpful and convenient for the most part. Aside from the L-shape layout, the U-shape layout is just as useful and smart.
For a moment there, I thought that I lost the reference and link to this beautiful kitchen. This elongated kitchen surely maximized the space that has been given. In as much as the minimum requirements for kitchen spaces were met, this space surely showed us how to rock a black and white U-shaped kitchen layout.
I wish that this kitchen has a bit more whites than just its countertop really – I mean, this kitchen is just stunning and even pronouncedly perfect; but then again, I think kitchen spaces should be more lighter and maybe whiter because it's the kitchen. This space is really sophisticated and classy because of the materials and whatnot, but I feel that it's quite dark and spooky – especially at night (at least I think so).
Now this is one glossy kitchen! Ebstone Kitchens sure has a wide range of kitchen spaces that you can go ahead and check. I personally perused the entire website and this is by far one of the prettiest in the bunch. The glossy and stylish cabinets and drawers tell us so much as to the users of this house. Do you agree?
The kitchen stools seen in this cute kitchen is quite something. As is something interesting and new. It's not really everyday that you'd be able to see chair designs like this one – so new and unique. The kitchen looks real simple and yet still being able to function well as it is.
What do you actually think about this kitchen? I know that the black and white them is pretty minimal in here but we see that though right? The countertop and cabinetry work in here contrast in that manner and I think it's both lovely with a hint of contradiction for me when they added a grey island – but then again, grey always go well with black and white.
Well, this kitchen sure was made by Clean designers. Pun intended. I love the way that they incorporated the green tiles with the black and white combination of the countertop and the cabinet work. The brown flooring adds to this already fascinating treat that the designers did for this space.
At first, when I added this photo to the list I was collecting, I added this at the L-shaped kitchen – when I was already ready for editing and all that, I saw that this was actually a U-shaped layout. So, anyway, I think that this kitchen needed to be shared with you guys just because of the pretty pink detailing it has.
The stunning bronze drum pendant lamp in here is just perfect! Its color somehow is similar with the color of the wooden stools which looks real good, actually. The black cabinets above the white countertop are pretty neat too, I should say. Do you like it though?
The rustic feel to the outside area of this kitchen is interesting. If you might notice, this U-shaped layout looks like a kitchen island because it is in the middle of the room while the kitchen range is in its outskirt part. Wow! I think that I might just have used that word wrong; but I think you get my point, right?
This is actually the first photo that I got when I was collecting for this list. I know that the black part is basically at the window sills and all, and I apologize, but I think that this kitchen is just beautiful not to be shared with you guys!
The lighting in this kitchen is just magically done. As much as I think that this photo is processed to look like this, I think it actually works. We see very minimal black in this kitchen but I think what little black it has is compensated with the beautiful white cabinet work.
However neat a black and white kitchen look like, some clients or designers just can't wait to add a bit of coolness or pizzazz in their designs – just like the hint of purple they added above the black cabinets which I think works and is just making this kitchen irresistible!
This kitchen design has easily maximized a semi-limited space through the use of multiple drawers for storage purposes and a counter in the middle that can serve multiple purposes. Not to mention, the wide open windows is a pleasant thing to consider when constructing your kitchen.
This kitchen has a more limited space than the previous one but similarly, they have maximized the entire area by using good storage ideas through cabinets and drawers. The decor is limited but they add a nice effect to the whole look.
This kitchen looks very modern and with the color choice, the whole effect is very clean and tranquil. This kitchen is perfect for those who are looking for possible ideas for their bachelor's pad or newly purchased condo unit. Cooking options might be limited but if you are looking for straightforward ideas, this might be a good consideration.
This kitchen idea offers new possibilities. If you love cooking and want everything to be clean and organized, this kitchen right here is a good model. I love how this kitchen incorporates practicality but also style. I appreciate the small dining space at the corner as well as the countertop where intimate dining experiences are a possibility.
Very chic and charming, here is a modern-styled kitchen perfect for the home cook who loves clean and organized cooking. This area is definitely something you can boast and take pride in especially when having friends over and cooking them some dinner.
Black and white kitchens really look great with stainless equipment. The blending of silvery grey with black and white makes the whole look clean, modern, and very posh. If I were to associate this kitchen with a home cook or chef, this is perfect for a male cook who wants everything in style but still appear manly. Definitely this is a design to consider.
Some kitchens do away with cabinets and drawers with handle because if we are talking kitchen, we want just as much storage as we could possibly have. There might be a tad too many handles in this particular kitchen but we cannot definitely go wrong with enough storage space. And also, this has quite a wide floor space for foot traffic.
This is a very gorgeous kitchen! The blue brick wall has a nice hue and it goes perfectly with the white wood in side. The panel boards are a cute option when deciding the style of the cabinets. The black counter top offers a contrast to the white and blue motif but again, it just makes the whole look a lot more stunning!
I sure hope to have given you a good glimpse of what limitless possibilities and potential your kitchen may unlock. There are several option out there and I hope you saw what you might just be looking for or thinking about for your kitchen.

Macron on EU role in Mediterranean Safety+Energy (S/E) with Cyprus Leader, eyes Defense faces Turkey
Scritto da ACM
*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- A "Sovereign and Géopolitical Europe" canNot Abandon to Foreign States the big "Security and Energy" Stakes in Mediterranean Sea, particularly at its South-Eastern Area, where EU Member States Cyprus and Greece must be Protected in front of Turkey's Bullying, which needs "Sanctions", stressed French President Emmanuel Macron, while receiving, at Elysée Palace in Paris, the President of Strategic Island Cyprus, Nicos Anastassiades, with whom he Wans to Boost Cooperation on Defense, before a crucial "MED-7" Summit, "at the End of August, or at the Beginning of September" 2020, as he announced Today, being partly but topically Echoed also from EU Parliament up to the USA etc., (See Infra).
- Speaking shortly After an Exceptionaly Important EU Heads of State/Government Summit in Brussels, (See: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/euhardbutbigdealneedsmore.html, etc), where its Franco-German core succeeded to reach a 27 Member States' Agreement on a "Revival Plan and Budget", "Condition" for "a more Ambitious and Sovereign Europe", as he pointed out, Macron Focused, Now, on "the Great Importance, for All Europeans, of Our Borders (and) Our Sovereignity, particularly in (South) Eastern Mediterranean" :
- A "Vital" Area "for All Our (EU's) Countries, where Energy and Security Issues have Become Nowadays of Essential Importance, and are at the origin of Power Struggles, in particulalry of Turkey and Russia, which affirm themselves more and more, where the EU does Not Yet Count Enough", But "would commit a Grave Error IF it Left Our Security in the Mediterranean at the Hands of Other Actors" : "That's Not an Option for Europe, and, at any case, Not something that France might let it be", he Vowed.
=> - In this Context, Macron "Re-Confirm(ed), anew, France's Full Solidarity with Cyprus, as well as with Greece, in front of Violations of their Sovereignity by Turkey", as he Denounced. Indeed, "it's UnAcceptable for the Maritime Area of a State which is Member of Our (Europan) Union to be Violated or Threatened ! Those who do so, Must face Sanctions, and you can Count on France's Support on this matter", he promised. Because "Europe Must Protect its Sovereignity very, very Firmly".
Turkey has, Notoriously, Harassed, (with WarShips) and Chassed Away an Italian "ENI" Energy Company's Ship due to Explore for more Oil/Gas Resources in EU Member Cyprus' Exclusive Economic Zone, repeatedly Threatened Many Others, Blocked off-shore Energy Explorations (including by France's "TOTAL", etc) with Arbitrary "Military Exercises" of the Turkish Navy, and Even, Provocatively, send, several Times, Its Own so-called "Exploration Ships", as "Barbaros" (sic !), etc. illegaly Inside Cyprus' EEZ. So that EU's Heads of State/Governments' Summits in Brussels have, Clearly and Repeatedly Condemned such Blatant Turkish Violations of the Interational Law of the Sea, even an EU Member's own Territorial Waters, (something that Ankara, nevertheless, Repeated, Afterwards, Also against Greece, in its EEZ at the Aegean Sea, Triggering Similar EU and USA Reactions). See relevant "Eurofora"s NewsReports from concerned EU Summits in Brussels, as, f.ex., at: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/macronimportanteustatementoncyprusturkey.html, etc.
*** In Fact, EU disposes a Big New Potential in Natural Energy Sources (particularly Climate-Friendly Gas, withOut C02, etc) around EU Member Cyprus' Southern Coasts, to which are Added Also important Neighbouring Israel and Egypt's (probably Lebanon's too) similar UnderSea Resources, at the South-Eastern Mediterranean Round Hub, (Between 3 Continents), which has, basically, a Similar Geology to that of Oil/Gas - Rich "Gulf of Mexico", Thanks to which, the USA reportedly Covered Recently More than +50% of their Huge Energy Needs, soon Becoming (in Addition, Also, with some Other New Findings on Land) ... Exporters of Energy, for the 1st Time in their History ! Other Energy Resources are believed (already since 1974) to be at Greece's EEZ in the Aegean Sea, and, more Recently, around Creta Island, at the large.
Cyprus, Egypt, and Israel have already Agreed in Delimitating their respective EEZ's (with Similar Negotiations evolving Later for Lebanon too), and are closely Cooperating Together on Common Energy Issues there, (Including with several Plans to Transfer Energy products into the EU, particularly with Israel, inter alia, also via the EU-Sponsored "East-MED" Pipeline project, and/or by Transforming Gas into Electricity on the spot, and Transporting it by an UnderSea Cable, as well as by Modern, High-Tech Ships able to carry Liquefied Natural Gas, LNG, etc). With the expected Result for Europe to have, in the foreseable Future, Energy DIRECTLY Transported into EU's Industrial Core, i.e. Faster, Safer, and Cheaper than if it had, Otherwise, to Cross various Intermediaries...
Macron has Already Spoken with "Eurofora" on that Issue, (which We are Following Since 2000/2001 : See Our relevant Publications, then, at "TCWeekly", etc), as Early as Since he was Economy Minister, Back on 2015 in Strasbourg (See: ..., etc), but also, Later-on, as President of the Republic, on 2017, during the "G20" Summit in Hamburg, Germany, (See: ..., etc). A Recent, New Possibility to, Eventualy, Help Resolve the Current Problem of EU's Need for "Own Resources" from 2021, was, also, Suggested by "Eurofora" on the occasion of the Latest EU Summit's Conclusions in Brussels on 21 July 2020, (See: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/euhardbutbigdealneedsmore.html, etc).
+ "We (EU) Face, Also, the fact that Sovereignity is at Stake in Libya too", where "we canNot just Let some Foreign Powers, whoever they might be, Violate the Arms' Embargo", firmly stressed the French President, (shortly after even a Franch Ship, participating in a relevant EU Mission, was notoriously Bullied by Turkish Warships when it tried to Check a Cargo Suspected to Smuggle Prohibited Weapons towards the Tripoli Camp in Libya, against the Benghazi one - the Biggest). That's why "the (EU) Operation <<IRINI>> (Versus Arms' Trafficking towards Libya) is one of the European Replies, But it still Needs to be Strengthened, in order to gain in Credibility. It's a Necessary Condition in order to obtain a Cease-Fire, and trigger a real Impetus towards a Political Solution of the Libyan Conflict".
(The Latest MED-7 Summit was organized in Cyprus on 2019)
=> + "More widely speaking, EU Must engage in a Profound Analysis on the Security Issues in Mediterranean. In this Perspective, and in order to evoke All European matters", President Macron Announced his intention to "Welcome anew in France our Mediterranean Partners, on the occasion of a Summit of EU's Southern Countries, called "MED 7", towards the End of August or the Beginning of September" 2020, "which is Nowadays even More Important than Yesterday", as he pointed out.
- Last, but not least, concerning "the Bilateral Relation" between France and Cyprus, ("which is Excellent", but "may be even More Deepened, particularly on Phrancophony and Economic Cooperation"), "it's well the Strategic area which Structures our Relationship", Macron stressed, "Thanking the Cypriots for the Excellent Welcome that they offer to our (French) Navy, with, Already, some 20 SeaPort Calls in 2020" !
- Cyprus' President Anastassiades, "noted with Satisfaction" the French President's "role, which is Not Limited to Initiatives inside Europe, (as at the Recent EU Summit, Together wih Germany : Comp. Supra), But Extends and promotes France as a Pivot Country for Stability and Security in the ...Mediterranean", whenever, Unfortunately, Europe is Absent", as he observed, while Also "Thanking France for its Interest and always Firm Stance regarding the Solution of Cyprus' Issue".
=> "In particular", he "Thank(ed)" Macron "for the Initiatives undertaken so that, at last, the Mediterranean woN't be an Area Under Control by either Turkey, or Other Powers, But Not of Europe !"
- Indeed, "Your Initiatives show which Should be Europe's Role, i.e. Not to beLimited into Declarations, But, through initiatives, to take over a Leading role, and Support (EU) Member States", Anastassiades stressed.
- "What occurs during These Days, and, certainly, During the Previous Months", as, f.ex., inter alia, also "the Violation of the Republic of Cyprus' EEZ", (by Turkish Ships), "the Threat to Settle Famagusta", (a City Evacuated by its Greek Cypriot Inhabitants, obliged to Fleed Turkey's Military Invasion and Occupation since 1974, while UNO called to Preserve those Refugees' Homes, that Turkey is Now Threatening to Usurpate on 2020), "what is Going on, Or was Done, in Syria, Iraq", (i.e. even More Turkish Military Invasions and Occupations), "these Days and Hours in Greece", (i.e. a culmunation of Turkish Army's Threats, after Provocations, at Aegean Sea), "and in Libya", (where the Turkish Army is the Only Foreign Force which Intruded inside that Country, Ostensibly Importing Weapons, and Even Many Islamist Armed Gangs of various Extremists from Syria, who have Already coincided with Massive and Grave Human Rights Violations Recently Denounced by the UNO, near Tripoli, including, f.ex., Civilian People being Chassed Away, Family Homes Looted and/or Destroyed, Civilians ill-treated or Killed, etc), "show that there is a Vacuum from Europe's side !", he Deplored.
- "But, Also, that, through Your (France's) Initiatives, a Ray of Hope Emerges, for European People, and, particularly, for the Countries Affected by the Role that Europe Must Play", Cyprus' President added, Optimistically.
- Last, but Not Least, he said to be "Glad to Seek Together how to Deepen further our (France-Cyprus) Bilateral Relations, which are Excellent, Based on the Franco-Cypriot Strategic Agenda which was Signed on 2016, and, mainly, how to further deepen the Economic and Cultural relations, and Particularly the Cooperation on Defense", he stressed.
>>> Indeed, on this Obviously Crucial point, President Anastassiades "ensure(d) that Cyprus will Always be the Most Welcoming Country concerning the French Navy, and Not Only" that, (Comp. Supra). In general, Cyprus "was always, and Continues to be, a Country of real Stability and Security in the Region", he Vowed. Inter alia, f.ex., in particular, he Reminded also the Fact that "we (Cyprus) Helped, in the Past, for the Evacuation of Chemicals from Syria", (to the point that one of them, Stored at the Island for Too Long, Exploded there on 2011..., See "Eurofora"s NewsReport from Elysée Palace, during a Summit there with former French President Sarkozy, at: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/sarkozycounseloronhelptoinvestigatecyprusexplosion.html, and: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/cypruspeopleaskchristofiastoresign.html, etc), and "we Helped during many Crisis in the Middle East, as in the case of Lebanon, (i.e. on 2006, when former French President Chirac took a UNO Mandate to Lead an International Peace-Keeping Force, between the Lebanese and Israeli Borders, in order to Succesfully Stop a Deadly Rockets' Conflict Between the 2 Neighbouring Countries, with the Help, Also of an EU-led Naval Force Monitoring the Coasts, which was Hosted in Cyprus, under German Leadership, then Visited also by Chacellor Angie Merkel : See "Eurofora" co-Founder's NewsReport, with Replies to Our Questions from Elysée Palace's Press Spokesman, Published, then, at "The Cyprus Weekly", etc).
+"And, Eventually, If Needed, We (Cyprus) Will ANew Contribute in This Direction", he Promised for the Future. "Thanks Also to our Bilateral Relations with all Neighbouring Countries", (i.e. Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordany, Greece, Malta, etc. with the Only Exception, until now, of Turkey, which, notoriously, still Occupies illegaly a Part of the Island, since a 1974 Turkish Military Invasion and Occupation, insisting to Refuse even to have Normal Diplomatic Relations with the EU, UNO and CoE Member State of the Republic of Cyprus...).
*** In the MeanTime, the Strategically Located Island (Unique in the World to be Located at the Crossroads of 3 Continents : Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as, directly Facing the Inter-Continental "Suez" Channel, etc), had its Defense Minister, Charalambos Petrides, meet officially in Paris, Earlier Today, with his French Counterpart, Florence Parly, Armies' Minister, (who had Already Visited Cyprus previously).
+ By a Timely Coincidence, Macron's and Anastassiades' above-mentioned Topical Concerns vis a vis Turkey's Bullying, were Also Echoed at EU Parliament, in Brussels :
Speaking just Before a Public MEPs' Debate, with EU Council and EU Commission's Leaders, Michel and Von der Leyen, on the Outcome of the Latest EU Summit, the experienced President of the Biggest Political Group of MEPs, that of ChristianDemocrats/EPP, Manfred Weber, from Germany, strongly Slamed Turkey's behavior on the "very Urgent Issue" of "the Situation in the Mediterranean Sea", as he stressed.
- "We saw the Military Actions from the Turkish side, (now against Greece, but also, earlier, vis-a-vis Cyprus), we Also saw the decisions on the Hagia Sophia, which is an example of religious Chauvinism that such a Symbol and as a Monument of Peace and reconciliation is now changed", (from a 1.110 Years Old Christian Church, into a Mosque), Weber Denounced from the outset.
- "This is Not only a Greek–Turkish issue, it is not only a Cyprus–Turkish issue, it is a European–Turkish issue !", he underlined.
=> - "That's Why", "We (EU) have to give Clear Signals that we Stand on the Side of Our (European) Citizens in Greece and in Cyprus", Weber Urged, Stressing that this was said in "the presence of President Michel and President von der Leyen". At any case, "we should keep the Dialogue open (vis a vis Ankara), no doubt about this".
>>> "But, Now it is the Time to Act, probably also to consider Sanctions Against Turkey. We (EU) have to Act and we have to act Now !", he Urged.
++ Moreover, it's Even USA's Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, Philip Reeker, who, Speaking on Turkey, Later Today, he reportedly Stressed, that - "We (USA) are Concerned about Actions that are Provocative and Raise Tensions".
- "Indeed, "US is Deeply Concerned about Turkey's stated plans to Survey for natural Resources in Areas over which Greece and Cyprus Assert Jurisdiction in the Eastern Mediterranean", he confirmed.
=> As a Consequence, USA is "Urging the Turkish Authorities to HOLD operations that Raise Tensions", USA's Key competent Foreign Policy Top Official reiterated, (while Also reportedly Confirming, inter alia, that the Greek Island of Kastelorizo, Near the Turkish Coasts, Between EU Members Greece and Cyprus, has an UnderSea Shelf, according to the International Law of the Sea).

2009 EU Elections were won by Parties against Technocracy and Turkey's controversial EU bid, while the 1999-2004 Majority Abstention trend decelerated. What should be done in 2009-2014 ?
* My Media didn't clearly say which political positions won in 2009 EU Elections. It left it gray and confused.
* Develop New Media, willing and able to boost EU-wide Citizens' interest on debating topical EU issues
* Respect People's Democratic Choices, by making EU less Technocratic, more open to EU Citizens' participation, and by rectifying 1999-2004's errors on Turkey's controversial EU bid, which blocked EU institutions in an unprecedented Crisis
* Betray EU voters and do the opposite : Up, up, with Technocrats and Turkey's controversial EU bid, Hourra !...
* Stimulte EU Citizens' active involvement in important EU decision-making, to completely reverse the 1999-2004 trend towards Majority Abstention, (and not only reduce it, as in 2009).
* There is nothing to do ; except, perhaps, to take an airline ticket for a refuge at the Canadian Rocky Mountains, far away from all these false, pseudo-democratic appearances...
* What Elections ? Which Europe ? And what has Ankara and Diyarbakir to do with Wienna or Poitiers ?
* Take the same Top EU Officials, regardless of their positions, and continue, "business as usual", as if nothing happened...
* Elect New Top EU Officials according to Elections' results, and promote those EU Officials who expressed People's choices or sincerely accept to implement them.

Q: Characteristics of Unity and Gnome3 for the End User Since Ubuntu 11.10 will support both (Unity by Default and Gnome3 after installing it from the Repos) I was wondering

*

*What characteristics do each of them offer for the end user.

*What changes can an end user perceive that will help he/she accomplish tasks.

*Basically what do each offer to the end user to make their desktop experience better. This can help in knowing a little more about each of them in a way of comparing.

A: *

*I think that Gnome Shell is a little more comfortable to navigate with the mouse only. It does have keyboard shortcuts too, and they work well, but I think Unity is a little better in that regard. Both are quite nice.

*With Unity 2D being a real alternative and not just a fallback mode, it means that you can have a more consistent UI across different kinds of computers. It's also usable with a terminal server like NX, which Gnome shell is not.

*The graphics in Gnome Shell seems to be a little more mature than Unity. It's somewhat snappier, although Unity has come a long way during the past months and it quite nice too.

*The big one for me, is Zeitgeist. Unity has integrated it in a beautiful way. Your system seems to learn from your actions and become faster with time. It's designed in a way that seems to welcome many different lenses and scopes, and I think it'll be very useful. I'm sure Gnome Shell will get this too, but Unity is a few laps ahead in this respect.

Socio-professional integration for people with mental disabilities in Spain
Training in new information and communication technology
The Air Liquide Foundation is supporting the Gil Gayarre Foundation in its efforts to promote the rights of people with cognitive impairments by encouraging their inclusion in society. The Air Liquide Foundation is helping the cause by giving them training in new technology.
Project Identity
Project implementer: Fondation Gil Gayarre Sponsor: Jorge Benitez Garcia, Air Liquide Iberica de Gases, Production Manager
Location: Madrid, Spain Monitoring Manager: Estela Amor Garcia-Cabañas, Air Liquide Ibérica De Gases, Production Plant Manager
Years of support: 2018, 2020 & 2021
Our support during the Covid-19 pandemic
In 2020, 69 mentally handicapped women and men were confined to two residential centres of the Gil Gayarre Foundation. These people have other illnesses and associated pathologies: heart disease, diabetes, cognitive decline, behavioural disorders, etc. Most of them have only the Foundation as their home and family. For many of them, this means that they are isolated and at risk in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. In order to provide them with the best support and protect them as much as possible from contagion, the Gil Gayarre Foundation made a very important effort of reorganization at all levels: places, staff, intensification of cleaning measures and personal ́hygiène, catering service, cleaning and disinfection of the facilities, etc. The Air Liquide Foundation contributed to the acquisition of basic hygiene and pharmaceutical equipment, personal protective equipment and to the cost of cleaning and disinfecting the centers.
A marginalized population
More than 500 people of all ages with cognitive impairment are receiving assistance from the Gil Gayarre Foundation at a specialized learning center, two vocational training centers (carpentry, painting, book binding) and two employment centers (laundry, gardening, industrial cleaning).
People with mental disabilities are often excluded from the development of information and communication technology (ICT). The difficulties they experience using ICT are obstacles to their social integration and their inclusion in the job market.

Achieve self-sufficiency through training
The workshops offered by the Gil Gayarre Foundation seek to correct this situation. Stimulating learning through the use of fun applications enables beneficiaries to gain concrete skills that help them find their footing in modern society. In addition to improving their professional prospects, this training improves their self-esteem.
The majority of the 500 beneficiaries of the Gil Gayarre Foundation, from the youngest to the oldest, will participate in the ICT training workshops.
How the Air Liquide Foundation is participating to the socio-professional integration
The Air Liquide Foundation is funding the purchase of suitable computer learning equipment so that these ICT workshops can be held under the best conditions.

Vretta supports Seneca students during the pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect students at Seneca: seventy-nine per cent are experiencing financial hardship, three out of four have their employment affected, and 90 per cent are feeling anxiety and uncertainty about their future plans.
Additionally, student entrepreneurs have been facing business hardships with delays in getting their products and services to market leading to an accumulation of debt.
Through these challenging times, HELIX, Seneca's business incubator and accelerator, has been extending a helping hand through the emergency relief funds, continued mentorship, coaching, and working space to help student-entrepreneurs who require the assistance to sustain and pivot their business to support their livelihood.
Seneca thanks long-term partner Vretta for their continued support throughout the pandemic, including their financial contribution, Entrepreneurial Numeracy Skills platform and strategic advising to HELIXers.
Vretta's financial assistance provides cross-disciplinary, entrepreneurial supports to more than 250 aspiring entrepreneurs, allowing them to build, launch and scale ventures. The Entrepreneurial Numeracy Skills platform will help HELIXers recognize the importance of crucial financial numeracy skills required to start and run a business, such as managing cash flow, credit and loan management, interest rates and taxes. The platform will also help identify skills gaps and suggest opportunities for students to upgrade their skills through Seneca's Faculty of Continuing Education.
"I've noticed that the most successful entrepreneurs in the world are the givers, not the takers," said Vretta President Anand Karat, who has been leading community initiatives to support students-in-need. "They are always looking for innovative ways to resolve challenges and provide affordable and efficient solutions that have a long-lasting positive impact to humanity."
Vretta also continues to support Seneca students through their mathematics rewards, which are presented to those who have demonstrated exceptional skills and abilities in business and finance mathematics. Students receive cash prizes and a certificate from Vretta for their academic achievement.
"By strengthening our collaboration with supporters and donors like Vretta, we are creating a supportive ecosystem," said Chris Dudley, Director of Entrepreneurship at Seneca. "We are also shaping a new way of work-integrated learning, so Seneca students are fully prepared to succeed in an evolving world of work."

Sunday TV: Hoges Hangs In There For Seven, As MKR Brings Home More Ratings Bacon
A Married At First Sight-free night at Channel Nine last night has handed the ratings to rival Seven who won the night comfortably on the back of Hoges: The Paul Hogan Story and stalwart bon vivant program MKR.
With Nine opting for T20 cricket – a match between Sri Lanka and a second-string Australian side – MKR was the most watched program with 1.24 million viewers according to OzTam figures. And with no competition from Married At First Sight, MKR was able to add 160,000 viewers from the week previous.
However, viewers continued to be indifferent to Seven's Hoges. It drew 839,000 viewers last night which, to its credit, was 2000 more than last week.
Hoges will prove a worry for all the TV bosses, considering its audiences are almost half of last year's highly successful Molly. It also follows on from comments last week from Ten CEO Paul Anderson bemoaning the high cost of license fees and the prohibitive cost in making local dramas.
Seven won the night with 33.2 per cent, followed by Nine with 26.4 per cent, the ABC with 17.7 per cent, Ten with 15.5 per cent and SBS 7.2 per cent.
It's clear we're over cricket this summer, with Nine's T20 game (despite being a last-ball thriller) recording 703,000, 695,000 and 575,000 for its various stages. Some 363,000 viewers then hung around for the post-match movie Lethal Weapon featuring a mulleted Mel Gibson.
For Ten, I'm A Celebrity Get…. Me Out of Here attracted 879,000. TEN Eyewitness News was 358,000, Bondi Rescue was 322,000, 24: Legacy was 294,000 and Homeland a disappointing 129,000.

Store of the Future
Everything you need to know about the effects of the Hong Kong protests on luxury fashion
Under the "one country, two systems" principle instituted in China in the 1980s, Hong Kong and other parts of China are able to maintain a distinct legal system from the rest of mainland China. But when that careful arrangement was threatened earlier this summer, massive protests broke out in Hong Kong and have escalated ever since.
Luxury fashion brands, many of which count both Hong Kong and China as important markets, were nervous. But what exactly is happening with luxury fashion there, why does it matter and what are the potential effects that the situation in Hong Kong will have on the luxury market?
The simple version is this: In April, the Chinese government introduced a controversial bill that would allow for criminal extradition from Hong Kong to mainland China, something that was not possible before and that critics saw as a path toward punishing dissidents and suppressing criticism of the government. Initially focused just on the extradition bill, the protests have escalated over the past three months to include demands for more democratic autonomy for Hong Kong, like universal suffrage for the election of Hong Kong's parliament.
The Chinese government has shown few signs of caving to any demands, and tensions between protesters and the government have been high.
Why does this matter to luxury fashion?
On an immediate level, the answer is obvious. China and Hong Kong are among the most important luxury markets in the world today. The pace at which Chinese customers are buying luxury fashion has grown exponentially over the past decade. From 2011 to 2016, the Chinese luxury market grew from $15 billion to $16 billion, but in the last two years, it jumped up to nearly $24 billion; it's the largest luxury market. China's growth makes it a far more attractive market than other places in the world, even those that are also large luxury markets.
"The U.S. is still a strong luxury retail market, but it isn't growing as fast as Europe, Asia and, more specifically, China," said David Naumann, vp of retail marketing at retail software company enVista, pointing out that China makes up one-third of all global luxury purchases.
There have been innumerable stories in the past year alone showing how luxury brands have adjusted their strategies to target the Chinese market, from launching online flagship stores with big Chinese e-commerce platforms Tmall and Alibaba to targeting Chinese customers through WeChat.
Hong Kong, in particular, is one of the most important cities for luxury, making up between 5% and 10% of all luxury sales globally. Swatch Group, which includes brands like Balmain, Omega and Longines, reportedly does 14% of its sales in Hong Kong.
What effects have been felt so far?
Given the centrality of China and Hong Kong to the global luxury industry, any volatility in the market will have some effect. In the past few months, stores have had to temporarily close, including in the midst of Golden Week, which is typically a major consumer shopping period. Prada, L'Occitane and Tiffany & Co. have all specifically cited Hong Kong as being in a difficult spot right now, and pointed to the unrest there as the reason for flagging sales.
The numerous store closures, due in part to the conflicts in the streets, have contributed to a slowdown in Hong Kong's luxury retail market, which has fallen significantly in the past few months. South China Morning Post reported in September that Prada will not renew its lease on its store on Russell Street in Hong Kong and that the landlord will cut rent by 44% on the next tenant in order to fill the space.
"In Hong Kong, where we have 10 stores and which is our fourth-biggest market relative to total sales — only after the United States, Japan and Mainland China — we've been presented with a unique set of challenges," said Alessandro Bogliolo, CEO of Tiffany, in the brand's second quarter earnings call last month. "Obviously, we hope for a quick and peaceful resolution to the unrest being experienced there, but in the meantime, we must acknowledge that the current situation is taking a toll on our business."
Hong Kong has traditionally served as a gateway for Western brands looking to target a Chinese audience, but the deterrence of tourism to the city by the protests has harmed its reputation as a luxury retail haven.
LVMH still grew sales in China in the third quarter, though the company said in a statement that this was "despite a difficult context in Hong Kong." The other major luxury groups, Richemont and Kering, have not reported their own earnings yet, so it's unclear whether LVMH staying strong through the protests is a fluke.
What are the potential future effects?
The potential effects are both immediate and long-term. In the near future, it's still possible that brands will get hit directly in their sales by having to close stores. Tiffany & Co had to close stores in Hong Kong, which makes up 5% of Tiffany's total sales, for six days last month, and analysts have estimated that Burberry, which reportedly gets around 8% of its total sales from its 10 stores in Hong Kong, could lose up to $126 million this year due to not being able to move product there.
But there's also a long-term danger to the protests, as well. The Chinese government is notoriously censorious, so brands have been stepping lightly around the protests. Tiffany & Co. backtracked when it posted a tweet of a model covering one eye, which was seen by some Chinese consumers as supporting the protesters, who sometimes adopt a similar position to echo the eye injuries received by two Hong Kong women in clashes with the police.
Non-Chinese brands have notoriously had a rough time with not arousing the ire of the Chinese market. Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Coach have all made major gaffes that required swift apologies and damage control. But the Hong Kong protests are among the most fraught issues in China right now, and brands are being extra careful not to say or do — or be perceived to say or do — the wrong thing.
"A major concern for the fashion industry is the potential to be caught in the middle of the tension, whether it's from disrupting the flow of goods to China or Hong Kong or being aligned with one side of the movement that either the company doesn't agree with or being aligned with a side altogether," said Richie Siegel, founder and lead analyst at Loose Threads. "This could happen if one side is seen wearing items from certain brands or seen protesting items of brands that participated. Beyond that, there might be logistical concerns about getting goods in and out of the country, but it seems the primary focus area is what brands are aligned to what side of the movement and how that reflects what the companies and their leaders believe."


The gun control brouhaha over school massacres rages on with no compromise seemingly possible between divided, polarized groups.
The gun control brouhaha over school massacres rages on with no compromise seemingly possible between divided, polarized groups. Today, perspective shooters know school personnel, except for guards, are unarmed targets in gun-free, no-defense zones.
To change that deadly game and go on the defensive, school boards could issue all school personnel distinctive bags, carry concealed weapon permits, handguns and pepper spray.
Until a policy is proposed that would guarantee no new school shootings will occur, the suggested policy would allow gun control activists to practice what they preach about putting student safety first.
Everyone has a certain degree of intelligence, knowledge and morality, but some of us have more of it than others. Those with more of those qualities are the ones whom we should elect to public office.
Of the three qualities, the most important is morality. I would prefer a leader with a good moral conscience over one who is intelligent and knowledgeable. Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin and Mao were all very intelligent, and somewhat knowledgeable, but they lacked a good sense of morality.
When we elect our next president, we need to vote for someone who is not only intelligent and knowledgeable, but also guided by a strong moral conscience. The problem with our politics is that the most moral candidates are often not the ones who succeed, or who stay in office. Good examples are Jimmy Carter and Mikhail Gorbachev.
It is often the ones who make the deals and shift their positions, with a goal of self-promotion rather than the good of the country, who often are the most successful, and they are the ones of whom we should most beware.


Faster is always better. Always. Great ideas that are first to market can usually change the game... often to terms that are of your making. And though I am the first to advocate that products or services must be well-conceived and developed, instant perfection is not the goal. In many cases, starting small in a niche market can accelerate the entire process of commercialization by providing a faster market read and a faster cycle of modification. As a corollary, speed also applies to establishing and rapidly expanding routes to market in order to build leadership in the channel.
More specifically, focus on the problem that the end user is having. Precisely what is the poorly met or unmet need? The essence of this is, of course, is seeing the market opportunity that others simply do not see. It is not focusing on the competition (which is often reactive and incremental) but rather is staying on the offense.
Leadership and management of innovation cannot be overstated. Develop or hire top talent and allow them to do their job. Leadership will drive focus on those few innovative ideas that have potential and, most importantly, that tie to desired positioning in target markets.
Leadership will allow the correct mix of both the understanding of the creative process as well as the rigor and discipline to make sure the investment comes to fruition. Effective leadership prevents the innovation from being stifled by the bureaucracy or politics of the organization and removes obstacles in the path.
How much risk can be tolerated in your innovation effort is highly situational. Clearly, risks should be defined and understood with any innovative effort...and every attempt should be made to minimize them. But assessing desirability of an innovative program is more than a simple risk-adjusted ROI computation. The opportunity side of the equation must also be weighed. Risk should be viewed as a factor that will always be part of the innovation equation and as a barrier for competitors that are not as tolerant to the downside.
Though innovation is difficult to measure, the outcomes can be. Project management, product management or program management (take your pick) takes the innovation through the organization and to the marketplace. This can and should be measured , leaders held accountable and rewards provided that are commensurate with the scale of the accomplishment. In my experience, the larger the enterprise, the more difficult the navigation through the organization. It takes competent leaders to champion the project--those that are willing to go the extra mile to get the job done.

Updated Sunday January 27, 2019 by WCIHL.
A complete set of hockey equipment can be purchased for a relatively reasonable cost. Shop around for the best values and remember that you don't need to buy the most expensive equipment. Keep in mind the equipment must fit properly to provide the maximum protection.
The WCIHL also provides some rental equipment for an additional cost of $30 per season. The equipment is offered on a first-come first-service basis and is not guaranteed.
Purchase inline hockey skates (not recreational skates) that will fit your child today with no more than ½" allowed for growth. Seek adequate protection in the ankle, toe and instep areas, improperly fitted skates will hamper your child's ability to skate.
Length should generally extend from the ground to the players chin or nose (with skates on). Quality and price differ greatly, so the choice is yours.
An HECC approved hockey helmet with chin-straps properly fastened along with a full face mask with a chin pad is required. Must be sized to fit properly. The chin strap must always be fastened.
A mouthpiece is required for all youth players. Ask your coach about them. The league can often provide these free of charge.
Check for proper fit with good finger and hand mobility. To determine the correct size glove, measure from your fingertips to the end of your elbow pad (e.g., if this distance measures 13.7", a 14" hockey glove is the proper size glove). If your fingers touch the end of the glove, it is too small. Correctly sized hockey gloves leave no part of the lower arm exposed—the cuff of the glove will extend to the bottom of the elbow pads.
A proper fit enables the knee pad portion of the shin guard to sit directly in the center of the kneecap. The length of the shin guard should extend the entire length of the leg, touching the top of the skate.
Essential for both boys and girls.
It's important that that they fit correctly in order to ensure proper protection of your collarbone, upper chest, back, upper arms and shoulders. To correctly size hockey shoulder pads, measure the circumference of your chest just below the armpits. All shoulder pads will have a corresponding size based on this chest measurement in the product description. The center of the shoulders should line up directly with the center of the shoulder caps to make sure the shoulder pads fit properly. Most shoulder pads also have adjustable straps in other areas of the pads; this adjustable sizing is acceptable as long as the shoulders and shoulder cups fit correctly.
Provides protection for the lower spine, hips and thighs.
These are worn over the player's hockey girdle and shin guards. The purpose served by inline hockey pants is essentially the same as that of ice hockey socks which is to cover the pads worn on the shins and prevent scratches and/or cuts to the back of the leg.
If you have any additional questions regarding equipment, please contact us.


To me the Internet is a blessing. So much knowledge is freely accessible, be it tutorials or equipment reviews. Throughout my photographer career I have hugely benefitted from like-minded professionals sharing their experiences and wisdom with others.
Time to give something back! Free wallpaper images.
I took these photos during a very short trip to Poland last week. I drove through the countryside when I noticed this beautiful sunset so I stopped the car, got out my tripod and camera out and started taking photos.
I used my 35mm f1.4 lens for most of the wallpaper shots because I think it's the sharpest lens I have. All shots taken with this lens are HDR shots making it possible to have a lot of details in both the shadows and the highlights. The rest of the shots are taken with my 70-200mm f2.8 USM II at 200mm. I chose this setup to capture a lot of details in the trees at the end of the field against the setting sun.
In post-production I deliberately tried various different approaches ranging from vivid, slightly over-saturated looks to quite pale and impressionistic black and white variations. I added some additional grain to some of them giving them a more authentic and analogue feel.
I have a few more journeys lined up this year and hope to be able to share similar wallpaper photos with you again in future – in 4k of course!

By adding two additional electrodes to the equator of a spherical void electrodynamic levitator trap (SVELT) one can balance static forces on a microparticle independently along three perpendicular axes. The balance equations are derived and a joy stick based controller is introduced for manipulating the electric field vector at the center of the SVELT. With this device, one can eliminate stray fields at the "null" point and center a particle to a limit set only by brownian forces in the electrodynamic pseudopotential. This limit is calculated and its importance for microphotography is discussed.


Everyone struggles to define who they are—at home, at school, with their family, with friends, and in life. People regularly answer questions like, "What's your name?", "What do you do for school/work?", and "What's your favorite (fill in the blank)?" You are constantly challenged to define yourself for the world and to others. It should be no surprise then that many people often struggle to answer those questions and define who they are even to themselves.
Psychology teaches that the concept we have of "self" is comprised of the view you have of yourself, how much you value yourself, and what you wish you were really like.  These concepts of self can be influenced by many internal and external factors. As you interact with the world and other people (who are also trying to define themselves), you begin to form a view of who you are and how you fit in this world. Depending on the input you receive, your view of self can be shaped positively or negatively.
Defining "self" is one of the greatest challenges facing today's generation. With the flood of negative external input from social media, news, school, peers, and others, it's not hard to see why. Having a strong inner voice that speaks positively about your appearance, behavior, worth, and purpose in life is a real struggle for many people.
All this external input is the world trying to shape and define your identity. However, the truest definition of an artist's work doesn't come from the art critic or the art consumer, it comes directly from the artist! That is what the last lesson was all about—you are God's masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10)! He is the artist who defines you!
WHO ARE YOU… REALLY? THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE YOU CAN LOOK TO FIND THE TRUE ANSWER TO WHO YOU ARE AND WHO YOU WERE MADE TO BE.
One of the best examples of how God defines the "real you" can be found in the story of Gideon from the Old Testament. In Judges 6, a messenger visits Gideon. He speaks and calls Gideon a mighty warrior. And Gideon argued with him!
As you struggle through life trying to define who you are to the world and to yourself, you can rely on How the Master Artist views you. Jeremiah 1:5 says that He knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb. He, above all others, has the right and privilege of revealing your true identity—you are a son or daughter, you are amazing and unique, and you are a mighty warrior!
But that wasn't the end of the story. Gideon wasn't a mighty warrior when he was identified as one by God's messenger. His identity was revealed to him and called out of him. He had to learn how to walk and live in that true identity revealed to him by the messenger.
He had to learn how to listen to God's voice. He had to learn how to reject and overcome fear. He had to learn to trust God and walk in God's ways. It was a challenge and a struggle, but as he followed God, he became the person God told him he already was. God sees the you that you truly are and are truly meant to become.
As you "do life" this week, take time to listen for God's voice. By what name does He call you? What traits is He identifying that are inside of you? Begin to trust that He knows what He is talking about and take a step. Don't argue like Gideon. Don't keep looking for a sign like Gideon. Instead, step out of the boat like Peter did in Matthew 14:22-33. You might sink like Peter if you take your eyes off Jesus. But, then again, you might just find yourself walking on water.
Take some time and reflect on the following questions. Use them as a conversation catalyst with God—He really does want to know who you are. Use these questions to help you engage in conversation with friends. These can help you go deeper into relationships with God and others!
How well do your friends know the real you? How do they know what they know about you?
How well does God know the real you? How does He know what He knows about you?
How do you want your friends to identify you? What words do you want them to use to describe you?
How do you want to identify yourself? What words do you want to use to describe yourself?
How does God identify you? Ask your teacher, youth leader, or pastor to help you discover how God identifies you.

When realization strikes right in your face that is when the change occurs. Same goes when the idea of Samkhya Organic was dawned upon. 'Samkhya', as the name defines, is 'Sankhya'-number. This concept is interwoven with the Samkhya Philosophy, the sixth school of Hindu Philosophy which propagates a dual perspective of universe in terms of 'Purush' (consciousness) and 'Prakruti' (matter). It further emphasizes upon the fact that the 'gunas' held by the 'Purush' transform and manipulate to manifest realities of 'Prakriti'. And in all there are 24 realities or 'Tattvas'. This most influential school of thought aims to see life in relation to its environment, and it is this realization which drives us at Samkhya.
We aim to illuminate the path towards to an enriching lifestyle by supporting organic farming. We strongly believe that for a healthy life, all we need is a healthy environment. And thus, we are actively engaged in supporting and promoting organic farming thereby, making it an integral part of life. By raising an organic community, we aim to further catalyze our organic drive, ensuring well-being and health of the society for years to come.
At Samkhya Foundation, we Educate, sensitize and demystify on issues of environment and industrial pollution; youth groups, women groups, NGOs and other people and to bring them together with organizations, academic institutions, experts and other people in the field of environment preservation and pollution control in India.
At Samkhya, each one us is committed to this long-term vision because, we all have the right to live healthy, don't we?
To maintain peace and harmony in nature through conservation, recycling & rejuvenation of the bio-diverse ingredients available in abundance.

I don't think waiting till all the enemy ships are gone to start rebuilding makes sense. I think a "Your structure can't rebuild for 1 minute after being destroyed" restriction makes more sense.
Then the player's optimal move is to just build a new turret instead of waiting for the cooldown. That could be counteracted by having destroyed turrets still count against cap/energy, but then the optimal move is to scrap the unit prior to destruction (or scrap the remains if possible) and build a fresh structure to skip the cooldown. To stop this behavior, you'd need to require scrapped objects still count against cap/energy for the same cooldown period as if they were destroyed. Then you have frustrated players who just want to rearrange their base because now they have to wait a minute or more after scrapping their turrets before they can replace them even when not under attack.
Okay, so to prevent that from occurring, then you could have the 1 minute cooldown but only have it apply when there are enemy ships present (and you probably want it set to longer than a minute, since an enemy attack wave might fight for longer and you don't want them sending a detachment back to the wormhole to deal with a tractor or turret they had destroyed a minute ago... plus the tractors/turrets that are about to come back online because they were destroyed seconds after the first one).
I agree that "while enemy ships are present" is annoying because what if the AI just sits an evasive/stealth ship (although planetary controllers have tachyons) on your planet to interfere with your construction, or what if you are in the middle of placing turrets during an attack. I just don't see a way around it without incentivising annoying play. And once you have "while enemy ships are present" clause, then you might as well drop the cooldown timer to keep it simple.
I am probably missing something, but that's what I see.
I'd really prefer to avoid more audio cues like "they're launching ships from those guardians," because there already feels like there is way too much chatter from the lady on the Ark. Not Metal Gear Survive levels, but she's way too up in my business, constantly.
A couple of remaining thoughts:
1. Yes, a number of times I've just scrapped a bunch of fleet ships to have them then pop out somewhere else. This is... odd, as you say.
2. If turrets have to be rebuilt only after a certain amount of time, then it should be a planet-wide thing in some fashion. Maybe... after a structure is destroyed via whatever means, if there are enemies on the planet, that Power doesn't get returned for 1 minute. Because otherwise there are all sorts of "scrap the remains and micro the rebuild over here" workarounds.
3. Having fuel not be returned for a certain amount of time after a squad dies actually strikes me as interesting, too. Basically logistical lags on power and fuel being returned whenever something that is consuming them dies strikes me as highly desirable. We'd need to up the fuel caps in order for that to work with the current numbers, but it would basically be another form of throughput mediation instead of JUST a cross-class effective ship cap.

Solved if you give players access to quick travel/microwarp to give players a legitimate way to get their fleet back to defend their planets. Also solved by various other things like lingering in the cap, like you mentioned, but I thought I'd bring that up.
Fuel was previously so high it wasn't really an issue until starships started costing megabucks (which is awesome), increasing fuel caps could cause a problem there. And I'm afraid of too many throughput bottlenecks at one time.
Bottleneck 1: You're at cap, no building (this one is pretty trivial unless there is a cooldown before cap is returned) until ships are destroyed
Bottleneck 2: You're low on metal, slow building
Bottleneck 3: You're out of fuel, normally you have plenty but ships have been destroyed but you are waiting for the fuel to be returned, no building until the fuel is refunded
I feel like bottleneck 2 and 3 are double-dipping as a punishment for in-combat rebuilding.
Fair points. I'm out of ideas for now, then.

Maybe have the AI spend it's resource points on building new fleet ships on guardians while there is an ongoing attack (so they get reinforced just like the humans do with their flagship).
It kind of does do that with its reinforcement budget, but I think there's 30 seconds or more between times it spends on that, and it prioritizes rebuilding turrets and guardians (iirc). It would certainly be easy to have it funnel its reinforcement budget (and maybe part/all of its other budgets) into such a thing, but that would probably counteract one of the key elements of guerilla warfare: "hit them where they aren't". Sure, it'd just be fleet ships, but it can pump out a lot of those on that kind of budget.
That said, surely there would be some acceptable middleground. And maybe then it would make sense that not all the AI guardians fly into the battle.
That brings to mind one really crazy idea, which I think will amuse Chris: don't have the human players build fleet ships at all, have them spawn automatically from starships just like the AI's fleet ships spawn from guardians

With regards to turret building it is has already been discussed why having a single ship stop everything is bad and remains of any sorts causes headaches. For that reason I'd have build speed be slowed by enemy presence on a planet. Have the floor start at 100 enemy strength and have it cap out at maybe 3000 strength causing construction to be 4x as long (0.25 build speed). Doing this opens up new tactical possibilities. For one the ark has a use! If you are a gambler of a player you can bring in your ark and double your construction speeds to help mitigate this. Fleetship factory and prototype ships can roll out to aid with fleetship production, allowing the player to still make them as rapidly even at full malus.
Quote from: chemical_art on April 05, 2018, 02:47:02 PM
Yeah, I agree there are some headaches there... but even if build (not repair, but build) speed was at 25%, you would still have something that went from 0 to 1 HP and caused the AI (or player!) to break off ships to deal with it if it was important enough. Maybe building is suppressed if there is a ship within X distance and the AI leaves a sentry fighter at each destroyed target? Not a fan of that either. If power distribution nodes produce drones (an idea Keith had) does that solve the "AI leaves one ship on your planet to annoy you" problem? (Or the AI could just be told not to do that because it's too annoying....)
Edit: or maybe it takes a minimum amount of strength to cut off your new/re build ability.

Starships or just flaghips?
Would these be full, independant fleet ships or high-powered drones?
It would certainly be easy to have it funnel its reinforcement budget (and maybe part/all of its other budgets) into such a thing, but that would probably counteract one of the key elements of guerilla warfare: "hit them where they aren't". Sure, it'd just be fleet ships, but it can pump out a lot of those on that kind of budget.
The enemy's gate is down. They have a (reasonably) infinite swarm of fighters. You have a (reasonably) infinite swarm of fighters. You just need to get hits on their guardians (which they can't replace easily). It costs you an outsize portion of your resources to build starships. It costs the AI an outsized portion of their resources to build guardians (if they can at all). Your job is to hit key, critical infrastructure in the face of an infinite enemy.
Edit: each guardian probably has a max throughput that only allows the overlord to spend X resources per Y deploying ships to it, so as you destroy guardians you remove the world's ability to reinforce.

I would find that amusing, but I think that strays into territory that is dangerously unlike AI War 1 in similar ways to how SupCom 2 was unlike SupCom 1. A lot of us were angry about SupCom 2.
A few more observations.
I agree about not having the A.I. always do the same thing, even if it looks like the optimal route. Predictability just means death against any human player.
I had no clue that Guardians were essentially self-defending slow but mobile carriers. Their behavior makes a lot more sense now, but you might want to somehow make this point clearer.
Slowing down building static structures during A.I. presence makes sense to solve the "bouncing target" problem, but it also makes turrets and tractors even weaker than what they are now. Given the numbers the A.I. is currently throwing around, you might not even bother building them.
The thing is: as soon as the A.I. has enough units to manage even a few escape from tractor beams, your turrets are nearly instantly lost. What's the point of having even 50-60 of them if the A.I. routinely attacks you with hundreds (and later thousands) of squads? There are simply way too many targets for them to inflict significant damage before getting destroyed.
The "rebuilding target" problem solves this by "forcing" the A.I. to split its forces, make them a lot less effective, and allow for the controller to rebuild fast enough to let the turrets inflict significant damage over time, but it does it in a perverse way which makes the A.I. look dumb.
For me, the best solution to the "scrap and rebuild somewhere else" problem is to allow fast travel. If I want to rebuild somewhere else, it's because I'm attacking planet X and the A.I. is attacking me on planet Y. And given how fast A.I. waves are, that's basically a constant situation. It becomes fairly frustrating because, as I said, it feels like a protracted game of whack-a-mole. My thought during that is "God, how much more time do I need to waste chasing these stupid A.I. waves".
The alternative is to allow for fleet-wide ship caps (in addition to the galaxy-wide ones) to make multi-fleet operations manageable for a human player.
And now for a few more test results.
I tried another quick game, this time at difficulty 7, and around the 40-60 minutes mark the A.I. just starts sending in ever-escalating waves that overwhelm me (even if the AIP is not growing anymore, as I'm busy trying to survive rather than conquer new planets). They're so big (comparatively) that it takes longer to clear them than it takes it to send the next wave, at which point the game is lost.
I was starting to think the A.I. is seriously overtuned right now, so I did another test at default settings. I just built the starting fleet and a defense at my home planet, and let it run for 40 minutes or so. I got a few incoming waves all at strength 260, but it looked like the game was behaving correctly. Then I conquered one planet and things started getting weird. For one, as soon as the ark moved, I got the cross-planet attack notification and threat jumped from 0 to 3500+. I'm assuming it's the activation of the hunter fleet there, but after conquering the planet and sitting there a bit (savegame 1), if you click on Troria (the nearby Mark I planet) you can see Mark IV and V ships, which should not be possible (I think..?) on a Mark I planet at AIP 30.
Then things started getting even more weird. I've attached a second save game where there's a 980 strength wave attacking (from 260 to 980 with just one planet?). The wave will charge then run to Troria without engaging. Wait for them to be gone, then move the fleet (without the Ark) on Troria, let it sit on the wormhole, and look what happens in the next 3 minutes. Something is very wrong, I think.
test 1.save (2418 kB - downloaded 108 times.)
test 1.savemet (0.04 kB - downloaded 106 times.)
test 2.save (2477.49 kB - downloaded 105 times.)
On the build speed thing, the idea I like is:
- If hostile strength on the planet is <= your strength on the planet, you build at full speed
- Otherwise, your build speed is divided by (hostile_strength / your_strength)
So if you're just overwhelmed the rebuilding shuts down, but if you're just in normal fight-for-your-life mode it's just a penalty. And if it's just some AI stragglers you get no penalty at all.
That seems like double-tapping. If you're overwhelmed they probably have enough power to just wipe you off regardless of you rebuilding (although this would help in the corner case that they have a tiny fleet versus a basically undefended planet to stop the planet from just rebuild-taunting them).
Another idea is to also have gravity affect build speed. Plus then you can just use that element of the UI without having to add anything! ;-)
I like the idea, with the caveat caps to both a minimal enemy strength to trigger any reduction and a cap that can be mitigated through risky and/or thoughtful play (for example, dragging in the King to rouse a desperate defense). Setting the construction to zero makes for binary play which shuts down the total number of available tactics. It is this reason why I'm also not a fan of having construction being shut down due to an arbitrary number: If the player is being overwhelmed and desperately rebuilding turrets buys time, why not? The game usually is decided by raw number slugging of who has the larger number of units so having a form of guerrilla/militia resistance is a welcome change. If higher level AI is adjusted so the tactic is less effective, fine. But don't just write it off all together for standard play. This mechanic is wrinkle to a game I feel is too straightforward in terms of gameplay.
What about having the power nodes also affect building speed? I've noticed the controller, for whatever reason, does not prioritize them over turrets/tractors when rebuilding. This would also make the current tactical behavior more appropriate (though it would still need changes).
My problem with the speed being affected by the strength ratio is: it will shut down rebuilding when it's not going to do much anyway, since the A.I. overpowers the defense and will destroy the controller no matter what.
I'm also generally against any system which incurs a "runaway winner" problem; if one side is much stronger, giving it an even bigger advantage usually makes for a lousy game. It also doesn't give any meaningful tactical option, further pushing the "OMG I need to move my fleet back ASAP" which is already excessive as far as I'm concerned. This is because, due to the galaxy-wide turret cap, you have no real way of changing strength ratio while defending, except by moving your fleet. In fact this would make it all but impossible to do anything else, since you couldn't even scrap other turrets elsewhere and rebuild them on the fly on the attacked planet. So, if you put this in place: what am I supposed to do as a player, apart from running back?
At least with power nodes being significant targets you can experiment with having turrets defend them instead of just the wormholes / the controller.
I split my response off to here: Brainstorming about offense vs defense, and refleeting speeds.

Tasmania launches Cyber Security Innovation Node
Imogen Hartmann, February 5, 2020 February 5, 2020 , Internet of Things, Internet of Things (IoT), News, Security, Smart Cities, Spotlight, TAS, Technology, 0
The Tasmanian Cyber Security Innovation Node has been launched in Launceston to help drive innovation and economic growth in the cyber security sector.
The Tasmanian Node joins five other state and territory nodes created in partnership with AustCyber.
Federal Minister for Industry, Science and Technology, Karen Andrews, said, "Growing the sector in Tasmania will attract business investment, create new jobs and support Australia's national security through development of advanced cyber security capability.
"This is also about ensuring the long-term sustainability of Tasmania, industry and creating new opportunities to grow the economy and create new jobs."
Ms Andrews said the global cyber security market is expected to be worth US$270 billion by 2026.
"This node and others in the network will foster collaboration which will help Australia seize the opportunities and meet the rising demand for skilled cyber workers and services." Ms Andrews said.
The Tasmanian Node will have a particular focus on driving national strategy in the Smart Cities, Internet of Things (IoT) and Marine Technology sectors.
Tasmanian Minister for Science and Technology, Michael Ferguson, said the node would be an important part of protecting Tasmania from future cyber-security threats.
"Linking in with national cyber security efforts will assist Tasmania to respond more rapidly to future state, national and international threats, which are expected to become more pervasive in the future," Mr Ferguson said.
"We are keen to play our part in Tasmania, and we look forward to delivering new opportunities in research and development in this important sector."
Member for Bass, Bridget Archer MP, said the node would ensure Tasmania and Tasmanians can reap the rewards of the growing cyber security sector.
"There is enormous potential for jobs to be created and for Tasmanians to forge new careers in the cyber security space," Ms Archer said.
"This node is perfectly positioned to remove hurdles for locals to start, scale and export their capabilities."
AustCyber's Tasmania Cyber Security Innovation Node is a collaboration between AustCyber, the Tasmanian Government and Enterprize Tasmania Ltd.
AustCyber was established as part of the Coalition's Industry Growth Centres Initiative and is designed to grow a globally competitive cyber security sector.
