Geothermal energy has potential to supply 35% of El Salvador energy demand

Berlin geothermal power plant, El Salvador (source: americanpost.news/)
During the High-Level Meeting of the GGA in El Salvador, CEL President Daniel Alvarez stated that geothermal energy can grow to cover 35% of the country's energy mix.
Geothermal energy can provide enough capacity to support 35% of the energy mix of El Salvador. This is according to a statement made by Daniel Alvarez, President of the Hydroelectric Commission of Lempa River (CEL) during the High-Level Meeting of the Global Geothermal Alliance of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) held in El Salvador,
"Geothermal energy is a quarter of our demand and we have the capacity to reach 35% of the matrix in the short and medium term. We are positioning ourselves as leaders in geothermal energy; the world is seeing El Salvador with different eyes," said Alvarez.
"We have a center of excellence where many have come for training. We want to create a study center to continue training our young people in what we know about geothermal energy and plants. We showed world delegates the operation and maintenance of the Berlin Geothermal Plant." Alvarez added. We had previously reported on the plans of El Salvador to establish an International Centre of Excellence for Geothermal to be administered by LaGeo, a subsidiary of CEL.
With the country's capacity to generate its own energy, El Salvador has no need for energy imports. Instead, El Salvador exports energy. Also included in El Salvador's renewable energy mix are solar power (6 to 7 percent) and hydroelectric power (up to 62% during rainy season).
This is the first time that the congress has been held in El Salvador. With 45 delegations in attendance, the summit helps bring investment and share knowledge with El Salvador for geothermal development and research.

Watch this Japanese man harvest salt from the sea using a traditional method
Twitter / Facebook / RSS
Ryoichi Toya of Suzu, Japan harvests 3.5 tons of salt per year from the ocean. He starts by pouring buckets of seawater onto a bed of raked sand. After the sand has dried, it's collected in a large wooden box, to which additional seawater is added, to create a very salty liquid. This is boiled over a wood fire for six hours to remove the water. "Salt produced with the Agehama style is made from seawater and is mainly used for food," he says. "It's mild in taste and the texture is smooth. It's the perfect seasoning for a rice ball."

Clarence Eugene Barron Biography: Family, Career, Songs, and Death
by How Africa News November 26, 2022, 10:34 am
Sir Guy Clarence Eugene Barron
Sir Guy was born Clarence Eugene Barron on October 16, 1946 in Norfolk, Virginia to Thelma Barron Cartwright and James Norfleet, Sr; raised by mother and stepfather, William "Bro. Bear" Cartwright in the city's segregated Berkley-Campostella section. Leonard Barron, Harold Barron, James Norfleet, Jr., and Charles Cartwright were his four brothers, and he had eight sisters, Thelma Barron, Bernice Barron, Brenda Barron, Gracie Cartwright, Joyce Cartwright, Patricia Cartwright, Louise Norfleet, and Lillian Norfleet McCleese.
Sir Guy's formal education began in 1952 at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School, where he was a member of the band and played trumpet under the direction of Carl W. Clark. He also sang in Saint Mark's Baptist Church's Gospel Choir.
Sir Guy was invited as the lead tenor of the local a capella doo-wop ensemble The Visions (Earl Gordon, Robert White, Michael Smith, Harold Barron, Clayton Miller, Rizwell Finney) at the age of 14 in 1960. He stayed with the group, which primarily performed R&B covers, for four years before leaving in 1964.
However, in 1965, George Perkins, owner of a popular Liberty Street nightclub, encouraged him to sing as a soloist. Sir Guy began his career on Frank Guida's S.P.Q.R. label. On the label, he released the singles "Broke Down and Cried" and "The Frog" in 1967. After leaving Guida in 1967, the songs were reworked for Perkins and Lenis Guess' D.P.G. label as "The Frisky Frog" and "I Cried."
Sir Guy & The Rocking Cavaliers released two singles on the D.P.G. label in 1969, "My Sweet Baby" and "Funky Virginia," both co-written by Sir Guy and Perkins. The latter became a regional hit.
The single "Let Home Cross Your Mind" was released in 1972, and within a few months, Sir Guy created a revised version with a new title, "I Need You, Baby." Both compositions were regional hits.
Sir Guy married Beatrice Williams Barron from Aiken, South Carolina in 1974. They parented two sons, Clarence Jr and Stacey.
Clarence Eugene "Sir Guy" Barron, whose performances at Norfolk's Eureka Lodge, The Plaza Hotel, and Queen's Topside Lounge on Church Street were a weekend treat, died on June 15, 2010, in Aiken, South Carolina, of cancer. He was 64. Following his death, the singles "I Need You Baby" and "Let Home Cross Your Mind" were re-released in 2011 with support from the Speller Bros. Band. These songs, along with reissues of Sir Guy's "My Sweet Baby" and "Funky Virginia" in 2015, helped to sustain the Norfolk Sound.

She walked on in television serials very occasionally, either as a barmaid or a lady agitator.
The Bottle Factory Outing, by Beryl Bainbridge
Beryl Bainbridge is one of those writers who seem to slip out of fashion, never quite given the recognition they deserve. She was nominated five times for the Booker, never winning (except for a rather bizarre consolation prize for which nobody else was nominated). Since her death she's remained in print, but I see relatively little discussion of her online.
Today her books are firmly marketed as women's fiction, a category largely made up by marketers which helps shift units but at the same time pigeonholes a wide range of female authors by implying their books are essentially entertainment. There's nothing wrong with entertainment, and there's no dichotomy between being serious and being entertaining (several of the books I'll soon be writing up are both). Still, if a book comes with pretty pastel covers, or faux-vintage photos of vaguely 1940s/50s-ish people against a black and white background, it's sending a message about the contents. Much the same as if a book comes with big bold letters and a picture of a gun, helicopter or other piece of high-tech hardware.
Why do I care about all this? Well, partly because I'm a Guardian reader of course and it's the sort of thing we care about, but mostly because while it does undoubtedly help sell books it also blocks certain books off from certain readers. So, if anyone reading this has been put off Beryl Bainbridge by the covers (the one below features two women nothing like those in the novel, and is utterly misleading), the blurbs, the impression given by all that of her work, here's the important bit: she can write.
The Bottle Factory Outing opens with Brenda and Freda, two flatmates who decided too hastily to live together and have long since found out they have little in common. Brenda is a mouse of a woman, constantly cowed and put upon ("As a child she had been taught it was rude to say no, unless she didn't mean it.") . Freda is near her opposite, voluptuous and full of rather theatrical life.
They had gone once to a bureau on the High Street and said they were looking for temporary work in an office. They lied about their speed and things, but the woman behind the desk wasn't encouraging. Secretly Freda thought it was because Brenda looked such a fright – she had toothache that morning and her jaw was swollen. Brenda thought it was because Freda wore her purple cloak and kept flipping ash on the carpet.
They share a North London bedsit and work together in a bottle factory, bottling Italian wine. Rossi, a manager, gropes Freda every day ("He had a funny way of pinching her all over, as if she was a mattress whose stuffing needed distributing more evenly."), she doesn't like it but she doesn't like to say no either and she can't get Brenda to pay enough attention to help her out. Brenda anyway is too preoccupied with the handsome Vittorio, who she is determined to have a grand romance with.
Does it sound prosaic? Initially it is. It's also though beautifully observed and painfully funny. Here's an example of Brenda and Freda's domestic arrangements:
Brenda had fashioned a bolster to put down the middle of the bed and a row of books to ensure that they lay less intimately at night. Freda complained that the books were uncomfortable – but then she had never been married.
Bainbridge crafts each sentence perfectly. She has an extraordinary talent for small and cutting observations. Both Brenda and Freda are brilliantly captured. I believed in them and to an extent sympathised, which given they're comic characters and arguably stereotypes is no small achievement. Bainbridge also has a knack for language that illuminates the everyday, but from unexpected angles (such as at one point where she describes a "block of flats, moored in concrete like an ocean liner.", an image I adored).
Freda has organised an outing for the bottle factory employees. A van is booked, picnic lunches packed and the absent factory owner has contributed two barrels of wine for the day. Everyone is looking forward to it, everyone except Brenda who'd rather not go but doesn't want to put anyone out.
At this point in the novel I was expecting a light observational comedy. I'd already noticed a black vein to the humour, but it was nothing compared to what followed. Obviously I won't spoil what happens for those who may read it, but it's fair to say that by about the half-way/two-thirds mark I was wondering what Bainbridge was trying to achieve. The essentially realist opening turned increasingly surreal as the day of the outing unfolded; the plot became less likely, the tone more vicious.
Stick with it though and Bainbridge does have a plan. Looking back the cruelty, uncertainty and bleak irony were always there, right from the beginning. Here's the novel's opening:
The hearse stood outside the block of flats, waiting for the old lady. Freda was crying. There were some children and a dog running in and out of the line of bare black trees planted in the pavement.
'I don't know why you're crying,' said Brenda. 'You didn't know her.'
It's a collision of romance and brutal reality, as is the whole novel. Freda is self-indulgently moved by the death of an old woman she didn't know "'I like funerals – all those flowers – a full life coming to a close …'". Brenda notes that the dead woman's life didn't look that full, seeing as she only left behind a cat and had no mourners. Brenda's life is rather miserable, and while perhaps Freda's is too Freda certainly doesn't see it that way. Brenda is escaping a past, Freda is looking forward to a future even if it is one that's largely founded on self-delusion. Of the two, if I had to choose, I'd rather be Freda.
In case there's any lingering doubt I thought this was superb. It's funny, disturbing and exceptionally well written. It won't be my last Bainbridge. Thanks are therefore due to Guy Savage of His Futile Preoccupations, who turned me on to Bainbridge in the first place. Were I to compare her to any other author it would be JG Farrell, who can also make the reader laugh while showing them terrible things (I reviewed his Troubles here, if you like one its worth trying the other).
For some other reviews of The Bottle Factory, I'd recommend this rather excellent review by Savidge Reads, this from the bibliolathas blog (particularly good for quotes) and this review by Gaskella which seems to have inspired a lot of different people to read the book.

I have this one in French, bought after Guy's recommendation. (Sombre dimanche)
You make it sound very appealing too. That's great, I'm looking forward to reading it. (And I guess I'll be frustrated to have lots of quotes in French and no idea of the original text.)
Wasn't it made into a film, recently?
I saw the film years ago and it stuck in my mind. I had no idea it was based on a book, and then I was in the library, browsing, when I saw this title and I knew that it had to be the source material for the film. Bainbridge is the dark horse of British literature, I think.
I have this: am looking forward to it. Agree about the cover. What is it supposed to portray? Bizarre.
A comparison to Farrell is always going to score well with me.
laurencepritchard
Winning a prize because you didn't win a prize is just nuts.
Yes, the cover is odd. What are they sitting on?
Might give this a try. Books that are difficult to place/market are often all the better for it.
winstonsdad
I read my first Bainbridge last year and had this one marked down as my next read as I heard here desert island discs and this one was about her early life ,I agree with the covers but that said not many women read Graham Greene and he is quoted on that cover Max ,all the best stu
I didn't know about the film. The French title does sound rather apposite.
Leroy, I think it's the two women sharing a bus seat, but they're made prettier and more fashionable for whatever reason.
Laurence, I think the prize was well meant, but arguably also a little insulting. She's a good enough writer that she doesn't need consolation prizes. Besides, if her why not others?
Stu, fair point on the Greene quote, though how widely read he is by women I've no idea. Generally women will read books written by men far more than men will books written by women (bizarre as that seems). Novels like Travels with My Aunt, or Brighton Rock, I suspect have a fairly cross- gender appeal.
There is a tendency in fiction to treat male experience as the default, so that when a man writers about feeling life is passing him by in a frustrating job and stale marriage it's seen to speak to universal themes of aging and loss. The same themes when written by a woman are often seen as domestic. I'm far from unique in making that observation, but I think it's why you can put quotes from Greene on a book marketed squarely at women without a problem, because women aren't put off by male recommendations as much as many men seem to be by female ones.
All of which aside, this is a tremendous book and it does speak beyond the domestic. The particulars are a cowed woman escaping a stultifying marriage and a theatrical dreamer who isn't as amazing as she thinks she is, but the exploration of the collision of compromise and dreams (to boil it down in a way that actually loses much else of what's happening) is something which reaches far beyond the specifics of these women's situation.
Annabel (gaskella)
Thanks for the link Guy. Last year I hosted a BB Reading Week, and I'm keeping a page going for BB links and reviews, so will add yours. I loved this book, very dark and funny, would also particularly recommend Sweet William and Injury Time if you like this kind of BB novel, rather than the historical.

Arlington and Tarrant County Use COVID-19 Vaccine Allotments, Await Next Batches
By Lili Zheng	• Published December 31, 2020 • Updated on December 31, 2020 at 5:34 pm
The last day of 2020 marked another busy day of vaccine inoculations across Tarrant County with the City of Arlington and Tarrant County using the last doses of their first shipments.
This week, the City of Arlington received 3,000 doses of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine. They used their remaining 350 within two hours on Thursday morning.
"At 3,000, we had enough for Phase 1A which was going to cover first responders and healthcare workers," Arlington fire chief Don Crowson said. "Tuesday afternoon, the state said those over the age of 65 could be vaccinated. So, they started showing up at our site and we didn't turn them away. So, we quickly ran out of the vaccine. That's fine. We'll get another batch and we'll start again. We'll address the people who are qualified under the current conditions established by the state."
A family nurse practitioner who did not want to be identified by her full name said she pre-registered before arriving in Arlington on Thursday, but she left without her shot.
"I'm just a little frustrated. It's my morning off. I have little time off, and I use that time wisely," she explained to NBC 5. "I'm happy that there are vaccines, but I was frustrated I didn't get an email or anything stating we were out."
The vaccines from our first batch have all been distributed. Please monitor our facebook page. We will keep you aware as the following vaccine batches make their way here. We anticipate the next batch as early as next week. pic.twitter.com/NlfWeIdlcr
— Arlington Fire Dept. (@ArlingtonTxFire) December 31, 2020
Crowson said their next batch could arrive as early as next week, and they'll change the process of registration to better manage expectations.
"We're going to stop the external registration process and only do registrations here based on the number of doses we receive," he said. "So, if we receive 5,000 doses… on Monday, we want to do 1,000. We'll let 1,000 in the door. We'll register those individuals in here. That's how we'll process them."

Tarrant County Public Health held a vaccine clinic on Circle Drive in Fort Worth on Thursday as well. A department spokesperson said they are urging people in the 1A and 1B groups to register in advance. They are turning away people who did not pre-register or do not qualify at this time.
Don Gregory said he waited about an hour and 30 minutes on Thursday.
"Obviously, we have a lot of people here who are very committed. So, the process doesn't seem to be affected by the weather, the wind or the rain," Gregory said. "I'm really happy to see the way Tarrant County is handling this. You get a specific appointment date, a specific appointment time. So, you don't have to come and stand in a line like this for nothing."
A spokesperson for the City of Arlington said those who were pre-registered but were unable to get a vaccine this week can receive their shot in the next round with their registrations honored.

Q: Best way to get some data and save to file, one method or two I have some code as follows:
In the PaymentsController:
[HttpPost]
public void GeneratePaymentData(IList<int> paymentIds)
{
  string paymentSummaryFileName;

  var results = _paymentsPort.GetPaymentData(paymentIds, out paymentSummaryFileName);

  _fileUtilities.SaveToFile(results, _appSettings.paymentFileSaveLocation, paymentSummaryFileName);
}

So what this does is goes off and gets some payment data and returns via the out parameter the name of the file to save to. It then saves the data to a file.
I was told by a colleague what I've done here is very bad. His reasoning is that my code creates the potential for the controller to give the wrong filename to the save method.
I disagree with this because I have unit tests that make sure the filename from the out parameter is the same as the one passed to SaveToFile.
He suggests I just do the save inside of GetPaymentData.
I disagree with this because I think it would be harder to unit test. Currently it is easy to test what's coming back from GetPaymentData is correct but if this method didn't return the data but just save it to a file this would be harder.
Who is right? Is this just a matter of different styles or is someone definitely in the wrong here?

A: You wrote your own unit tests, so you are biased to make the same false assumptions in your test and in your production code. Unit testing is not a holy grail, it is a means to an end.
One way to solve the discussion: ask your colleague to write a unit test that uses your method and fails. You will both learn from it.

Finding the vinegar bottle at the back of my mother's cupboard, I experience a moment of dizziness. Forty years are stripped away, and for an instant I seem to be peering over a high table, seeing two almost-matching bottles next to a bowl of salad. I see my mother's hand—a hand younger than my own hand is now. I see her reach to lift the stopper out of the vinegar bottle and hear the gentle pop of the cork, smell the sharp tang she puts on her salad but which I don't like. I like the cork, though, and yearn to be the one to push the stopper back into its space.
There is no matching oil bottle in my mother's cupboards, and the vinegar bottle's stopper is slightly chipped, the cork crumbling. I presume this is why it has been languishing at the back of her cupboard since 1973 when we emigrated to Australia. I don't believe she's used it for four decades, and yet she kept it.
In turn, I, too, keep it. I can't seem to throw it out. This piece of stoneware, that particular shade of blue, gives me a strange feeling; around it I sense what Gordon calls a 'seething presence'—of what exactly, I don't know. It is as Freud describes uncanny experiences, a particular quality of feeling. Why, out of all the many dishes and pieces of crockery my mother had, does this damaged bottle haunt me?
My mother's chipped vinegar bottle plummets me through time and space, a visual chronotope, taking me to my earliest years in Scotland and then Staffordshire, England. It elicits for me an uncanny feeling as a familiar object from many years ago is re-framed into the present, creating that oscillation between familiarity and strangeness. Seemingly forgotten moments—from an earlier life, in another hemisphere—threaten to erupt into the present.
I'm clearing the final personal objects from my mother's bedroom. There is a row of six miniature French perfume bottles, so old that they have almost no scent, a tarnished silver powder compact, a crocheted doily, a hair brush, a dish I once gave her that she kept her rings on at night, and, standing behind them, a postcard-sized print of a painting of a woman. I save the compact for my sister, put the doily in the wash and the rest in the bin. But I keep the print. It feels wrong to throw it away and I'm suddenly curious—once again, 'things inevitably seem too late' (Brown). This image has been sitting on my mother's bedside table for a long time; so long, in fact, that I can't remember her bedside without it. I've seen it, but I've never looked at it.
The woman is elegantly dressed in mauve and blue, sits by a small side table holding an open book. On the table, a flower display under a glass dome; above, a circular convex mirror, with a fancy gold frame and two candles. The gold is repeated in the curtain on one side, and the carpet is a rich swirl of colours, though of course, the postcard is very faded now. The woman looks directly at us, her face calm, almost non-communicative. It is a conventional painting, but a very attractive work. The mirror here suggests to me self-knowledge or vision rather than woman's vanity.
I wonder why my mother kept this in her bedroom, the only picture in there. She must have liked the painting. Or perhaps, as someone who read a lot, she appreciated the reading woman? I wonder whether someone she cared about gave her the print. Perhaps she got this when still a young girl, and imagined becoming a woman like the one in the painting.
It is a reproduction of 'Mafalda', painted in 1934 by Leonard Campbell Taylor, purchased by the Bradford Museum in 1936. Only when I search on the internet do I see that the Mafalda in this painting is supposedly Princess Mafalda of Savoy, daughter of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy and wife of Queen Victoria's grandson, Prince Philipp of Hesse. Prince Philipp joined the Nazi Party in 1930 and, with the princess, acted as go-between for Hitler and Mussolini. In 1943, however, when Mafalda's father arrested Mussolini, Hitler no longer trusted the couple, and had them incarcerated. Princess Mafalda would die in Buchenwald Concentration Camp the following year, 1944.
I have no idea if my mother knew that the Mafalda of this image was Princess Mafalda, that she was associated with the Nazis and then died in a German concentration camp. In 1944, my mother was a schoolgirl, living in North London. She was Jewish in a world hostile to Jews. Her parents, originally from Eastern Europe, were part of a network of British people trying to help Jewish refugees escape from Germany, Poland and France. My mother would have known about the Kindertransport; she would have heard stories about the concentration camps. For all the war years, she slept with a bread knife under her pillow in case the Nazis invaded.
Given that, it is perhaps not surprising that she ended up marrying a Scottish gentile and moving to Australia. Or that once there, she never mentioned she was Jewish. I recognise the complexity of her relationship with her Jewish heritage. She didn't quite deny it but I sometimes felt she was uncomfortably close to doing so.
How ironic, then, that Mafalda has been sitting in my mother's bedroom all this time, its reminder of Buchenwald a stark contrast to the calm, ordered interior of the painting. Even in that most intimate of spaces, my mother's past haunted her, whether she realised that or not. And now it enters my own life, sitting on a shelf in my living room, a site of uncanny repetitions, the mirror in the painting reflecting not insight but rather the gaps in my knowledge of that other woman, my mother.
As Melchoir-Bonnet says of the mirror's history in art, 'The mirror will always remain haunted by what is not found within it'.
A final object—a set of etched Heisey glassware in a design called 'Minuet'. Three cameos appear on each multi-sided glass, a cello player, a gentleman bearing flowers, and a glamorous lady with a fan. The stems are fluted and decorated with beads. There are five different sizes of glass, plus a matching platter and bowl. They originally belonged to my grandparents and I don't think my mother ever used them. I don't remember even seeing them when she moved last, around fifteen years ago. But she left them to me in her will. When I unpack them at my house, I find that one of the water glasses has a miniscule chip in the rim. The rest are undamaged.
There is one fewer of the small cocktail-style glasses than the others, so it must have broken. Grandma, playing bridge with three friends in the evening, laughing over gin and tonic, smoking her third cigarette of the day and scribbling the score on a notepad perched on the arm of her chair. She gets up to offer round a tray of her famous chopped liver. As she turns, the hem of her jacket catches her glass and it falls to the ground, hitting the wooden leg of her chair, landing on the carpet in pieces.
I find myself using these glasses regularly, feeling comfortable with the touch of my fingers on the stems, the slight imprint of the etched patterns on my bottom lip. These are objects of solace; the haunting here is gentle, a reminder of last century and the extended family of Jews living in north London, musicians, bridge players, cloth merchants, shoemakers. 'Just like Vienna before the war,' my great-uncle would say.

Her academic interests include creative writing pedagogy, life writing, the essay, critical disability studies and Australian literature.


Gavin Winters doesn't want to remember. Joan Sully can't forget. For Gavin, mourning the sudden loss of his partner, Sydney, remembering is too painful. For ten-year-old Joan, the daughter of Gavin's college bandmate, forgetting isn't an option. She has what doctors have termed "highly superior autobiographical memory:" meaning she remembers every minute of every day in excruciating and perfect detail. She understands why remembering can be painful, but she understands why forgetting is too. When Gavin comes to stay with Joan's family, Joan offers to give him her memories of Sydney in exchange for his help writing a song that she hopes will allow her to achieve eternal fame. This leads them both on a journey neither expected, seeking to understand how well we know the people we love, what friendship requires, and whether moving forward always means not looking back.
Host Cyd Oppenheimer talks with author Val Emmich about why he writes ("Because I'm insane? Why do any of us do this?"), capturing the perspective of a 10-year-old girl ("the actual discovery of her voice was an accident"), and what Sydney's secret was in earlier drafts (you have to listen to find out!). Also, he sings!
Guest readers Brian Slattery and Tui Sutherland join Oppenheimer to discuss old friends and nosy children, trusted sidekicks and flawed partners; and TV talk shows, shopping carts, and song-writing.

Grand Theft Auto V is a long, detailed and brutal criminal saga, with murders and robberies, car thefts and fights, casinos and romance, and its unrivaled urban soundtrack. Though it's been here since 2013, it has received lots of updates, so many gamers still download GTA V in 2019 and enjoy it.
In 2019 one can't help comparing GTA V to Red Dead Redemption II, and these two games are as different in their appearance as in the story. Dramatic RDR2 features almost photorealistic visuals, while GTA V, just as spectacular, is rather comic book styled. The adventures of the three protagonists are as grand and unserious that only a comic style would fit them. Yet the world is so large, and the mechanics are so elaborate, that you'll need at least 70 GB on your drive and powerful hardware setup.
The criminal saga that starts with a failed robbery nine years ago continues nowadays, with two old fellows suddenly meeting another one to get involved in the new, greatest ever adventure. Michael, Trevor, and Frank have various abilities, so they can make a perfect gang… and when they don't expect it, they have to. Jacking cars and robbing banks, playing in casino and running guns, and making the most reckless robberies in history – that's what the game is about.
To do it all, you'll have to master lots of arts. Success requires boxing and shooting, driving and talking, and decisions, decisions, decisions. The long story depends on your choices, and it has various endings, depending on what you choose.
The saga will take you through the entire San Andreas state, inspired by California, with its rich and poor, decent and criminal sides. Mexican and Armenian mafia, federal forces and independent villains, drugs, and guns, money and more money waiting for you. Last but not least: television and music made for this fictional world make it real.
As the game is available for consoles and PC, it lets you use the input of your choice, either mouse and keyboard or gamepad. Though even on a PC you use an Xbox gamepad, you'll still need to grab your mouse sometimes. The response on PC depends on your hardware (consoles have no issues with this); but if It's powerful enough to run the game at all, it should be enough to make it comfortable. At any moment you can press the Menu button and check the layout if you get lost in controls.
Replay Value
First, even the main storyline will take you several dozens of hours. Second, there are always side quests you can reach with your in-game phone. Third, the open-world lets you just roam it and enjoy exploring. Fourth, Rockstar Games constantly rolls out updates with new stories, characters, and locations, announces discounts, and holds events. And, fifth, now it's gone online, with missions, casino, and social club. So we'll play GTA V maybe even after the sixth installment is out, especially those on 8 gen consoles.
Grand Theft Auto V is one of the most popular games ever, and it's among the definitive games of this decade, along with Minecraft and Fortnite. It will take at least an hour to install GTA V, but it offers endless hours of gameplay.
If you have missed the game before, it still makes sense to download GTA V with its online mode and complete update set.
Pros : Violence, nudity and obscenity;
Long detailed and twisted criminal story;
Great visuals;
Even greater soundtrack;
Online mode and constant updates.
Cons : Violence, nudity and obscenity;
Rather high system requirements (even six years after);
The next installment may arrive soon.
Gameplay 5
Replay Value 5

Home This Week's Hottest Releases: July 8 – July 14
The Bookish Editors Jul 12, 2018
Happy To Read Tuesday! Here we're highlighting the eight titles that our editors are most excited to add to their TBR shelves. For even more hot new releases, check out our Summer Previews for the best books coming out this season.
The Garden Party by Grace Dane Mazur
Adam Cohen is about to marry Eliza Barlow. They're very much in love, and it seems like they have a happy life ahead of them. That is, if they can get through the rehearsal dinner. Both the Cohens and the Barlows are gathering in Brookline, Massachusetts, and you could say that they don't exactly see eye to eye. The Barlow clan is made up of numerous successful lawyers, while the Cohen family has a more laid-back and artistic vibe. When they meet, the results are definitely interesting. This novel is a fascinating look at families, as well as how we behave towards those we consider different from ourselves.
The Prison Letters of Nelson Mandela by Nelson Mandela
Famed anti-apartheid activist and former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela spent nearly three decades in prison following his arrest in 1962. This important volume collects the letters that Mandela wrote during that time. Mandela was a prolific letter writer, and wrote thousands of correspondences from his cell. These letters give readers incredible insight into Mandela's mind and heart, and will bring this vital historical figure to life for readers.
Her Pretty Face by Robyn Harding
Do you love psychological thrillers? If so, you won't want to miss Robyn Harding's latest, Her Pretty Face, which plumbs the dark corners of female friendship. Frances feels like an outcast in her own life–particularly at her son's school, Forrester Academy. Her friend Kate, however, is the opposite. Kate is gorgeous and exudes a sense of self-assuredness. Unexpectedly, the two women grow close over a shared dislike of school politics, but something between them is not quite right. One of the women is hiding something big from the other, and the truth just might destroy the relationship they've built. This thriller about deadly secrets will keep you up all night until you've finished it.
Halcyon by Rio Youers
Supernatural thrillers combine heartstopping suspense with otherworldly happenings, and we think that's what makes them so much fun. Halcyon by Rio Youers is no exception. In it, people are moving to an island in Lake Ontario to escape the rest of the world. The community there, which is run by a woman named Mother Moon, is called Halcyon. Martin Lovegrove and his family move to Halcyon with a plan to start over. But what they find there is not exactly what they bargained for. Secrets and the supernatural lurk under the surface of the community.
A Gentleman Never Keeps Score by Cat Sebastian
Cat Sebastian is back with a moving historical romance. Hartley Sedgwick, former darling of the ton, lives a solitary and lonely life. After scandal marred his name, he retreated into his home to stay out of the public eye. He assumes the rest of his days may be lived out in isolation, and the last thing he expects is to fall for Sam Fox, a handsome pub owner and former boxer. Readers looking for a story of healing, acceptance, and love couldn't ask for anything better this week.
I'm Not Missing by Carrie Fountain
Miranda's heart broke when her mother walked out on their family, but she found solace and understanding in her best friend Syd, whose mother also abandoned her. They've stuck together through thick and thin, which is why Miranda is shocked when Syd suddenly disappears and leaves nothing but a simple note behind "I'm gone. I'm not missing." Miranda begins to unravel the mystery of where Syd went and why, and along the way she learns to stand on her own.
My Year in the Middle by Lila Quintero Weaver
Inspired by the author's experiences growing up in Alabama, this middle grade book transports readers to the city of Red Grove in 1970, where the local governor election incites racial tensions. Sixth grader Lu Olivera, an Argentinian immigrant, feels uncertain of her place at school—where white students sit on one side of the classroom, black students sit on the opposite, and everyone else (including Lu) finds a place in the middle. As arguments over segregation and integration erupt around her, Lu learns to stand up for herself and fight for what she believes is right.
All Are Welcome by Alexandra Penfold, illustrated by Suzanne Kaufman
Going to school can be intimidating, but this picture book will help to calm any fears new students might have. The colorful images depict a diverse group of kids engaging in fun activities like playing soccer, drawing pictures, and making music. The book's title is a cheerful refrain throughout the book, reminding young readers that they belong.

my boyfriend is really competitive, what should i do - Dating :: sidetaker.
my boyfriend and i try to mix it up when we go out and we're both the lively "like to do stuff" kind, so we usually go places where we can be more active, bowling, golf, rock climbing, basketball training together, taekwando together, etc etc, anyways to the point: he acts like its all fun fun fun.... but only when he's winning, and he wants to win ALLLL the time, even when we're playing board games for christs sake, he makes sure that he beats me in everything, then if i win at something he sooks and decides he doesnt want to play anymore. why cant he let up a bit and why does he sook when he loses. what can i do about it?
