East West Link
Why is Australia so slow to get fast trains?
There is a joke in Australia that there will be a high-speed rail service linking the major cities on the Eastern seaboard that will run about once in every three years — whenever there is an election looming. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has, like the previous Labor government, again floated the idea.
Melbourne's East West Link – not dead yet
Many Victorians had hoped the election of a state Labor government signaled an end to the East West Link and the dawn of a new age of public transport projects, with the Andrews government committing to start building the $11 billion Metro Rail Project in 2018. Now, federal Liberal MPs from Melbourne's outer east are trying to resuscitate the East West Link. On August 8 they held a small rally with the demand "Build the Link".
Socialist councillor Sue Bolton: 'People can run society themselves'
Socialist Alliance councillor Sue Bolton spoke to Dave Holmes about her work as an elected socialist local councillor in Moreland, a municipality in Melbourne. * * * You were elected to the Moreland City Council for Socialist Alliance in October 2012. Many of the themes and issues raised in your campaign struck a chord with a wide range of people. There was also a fair bit of accident and luck: you headed up a ballot with 24 names on it and the ALP ticket was split.
Lessons for the No WestConnex campaign
"No West Connex: Public transport is the answer," was the theme of a public forum sponsored by Green Left Weekly on March 17 at the Sydney CBD Resistance Centre. Up to 30 people gathered to hear Sue Bolton, Socialist Alliance councillor from Moreland, Melbourne, and Chris Elenor, No WestCONnex activist, discuss issues surrounding the huge toll road projects being pushed in Australia's major cities.
Campaign against East West Link will not stop
Days before the Victorian elections on November 29, the Labor opposition promised to scrap the East West Link, a massive road project in Melbourne with an estimated cost of $18 billion. On the back of a large community campaign to stop the project, this position helped Labor win the election. The history of the campaign to stop the tunnel provides lessons on how the community can successfully beat the power of corporations and governments.
Socialist Alliance candidate slams East West Link
Five hundred people rallied in Melbourne on November 15 to protest against the Coalition government's proposed East West toll road. The rally had three main demands: scrap the East West Link, rip up the contracts and invest in public transport. Socialist Alliance candidate for the seat of Pascoe Vale in the Victorian election, Sean Brocklehurst, gave this speech to the rally. * * * My name is Sean Brocklehurst. I am a candidate for the seat of Pascoe Vale. I am also an activist with Moreland Community Against the Tunnel. We are against this tunnel.
Lend Lease holds Vic to ransom over East West Link
The Ron Tandberg cartoon in the Age on September 24 sums up what a rort the East West Link is. In it, one person asks someone from the East West Connect consortium: "Are you concerned that Labor might stop the project?" They answer: "Either way we'll make a killing." The cartoon is referring to the announcement by Labor opposition leader Daniel Andrews on September 11 that Labor would not build the East West Link if the Moreland and Yarra councils win legal action against the project in December.
Vic election: Community need before corporate greed
Sean Brocklehurst is running as a candidate for the Socialist Alliance in the November 29 Victorian election. This is a speech he gave at the election launch on September 20. *** We are here because we want to see change in Victoria. We want to see community need put before corporate greed. Victoria is going in the wrong direction. It is being run by and for the corporate elite and not in the interests of ordinary people.
Herald Sun squawks on likely loss of East West Link
The Herald Sun has launched a vitriolic campaign against two councils in Melbourne for their opposition to the Victorian government's $15 billion East West Link toll road project. In an appalling lack of sensitivity, the paper has also sought to use the rape and murder of journalist Jill Meagher in defence of the paper's pro-corporate and road-building agenda.
Labor backs down on East West Link
The Coalition government in Victoria has disregarded public opposition and transparency and named a Lend Lease consortium to carry out phase one of the $6-8 billion East West Link toll road.
East West Link gets approval as 3000 march against it
Victorian planning minister Matthew Guy approved stage one of the East West Link toll road on June 30, ignoring key recommendations from the planning panel to reduce impacts from the project. Guy said he had granted relevant approvals for the project on the condition that the Linking Melbourne Authority redesign parts of the project.
Money for public transport, not East West Link
Moreland City Councillor and Socialist Alliance member Sue Bolton delivered the following speech at the Trains Not Tolls rally in Melbourne on June 28. The rally was organised to protest against the new East West Link motorway. *** It's great seeing people here from all over Melbourne, because this issue affects not just people from the inner city where the East West Link is designed to go, but it affects people from all over Melbourne and all over Victoria.
Melbourne rallies for trains, against tollways
More than 2000 people marched in Melbourne on June 28 to protest the proposed East West Link motorway. The East West Link is to be a partially tunnelled toll road that would give commuters crossing the Yarra River an alternative to the currently overloaded West Gate Bridge. Protesters, however, said the East West Link will be excessively costly, will contribute to pollution and will generate far fewer jobs than an equivalent public transport project. Demonstrators also voiced concerns that the East West Link would erode Melbourne's culture of public transport.
Labor should rip up East West contracts
The East West Link is not the vote-winner that Victorian Premier Denis Napthine had hoped it would be. A recent opinion poll shows most Victorians are opposed to the state government's plan to build the new toll road and want the money spent on public transport infrastructure instead. The Labor opposition says it opposes the project and would not continue the project if it wins the next state election, due to take place in November. That is, unless contracts have already been signed, in which case an incoming Labor government would allow the project to go ahead.
Public housing tenants protest East West Link
Public housing tenants and nearby residents gathered at Debney's Park in Melbourne's inner-west to protest the impact of the East West Link on public housing flats, Debney's Park and the Flemington Community Centre. The protest was organised by local Greens MP Adam Bandt. Yasseen Musa, a leader of the local African community living in the flats, told the protesters: "It took 15 years to get a sports ground, then another 10 years to get two soccer pitches and a pavilion. Now we have a soccer team for the African community.
Community tells state gov't to build Doncaster Rail
About 140 people attended Manningham City Council's forum on February 20 to hear speakers discuss the case for a railway line to Doncaster, Victoria. Doncaster Rail has been promised since the late 1890s and Manningham City, comprising 10 suburbs and only 12 kilometres from the CBD, is the only Melbourne municipality without a railway line even though it is a rapidly growing area. At the 2011 Census, Manningham had a population of 111,300.

Home Politics President Trump for the Nobel Prize?
Trump previously had his own summit planned with Kim to discuss the dismantling of nuclear arsenal. In addition, North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un released US detainees prior to his meeting with President Trump. According to CNN, during a recent Michigan rally, Trump supporters serenaded the president by chanting "Nobel, Nobel, Nobel." This comes after recent reports that the president isn't getting the credit he deserves for his strategy on garnering a meeting with President Kim and President Moon.
However, not everyone is completely convinced Trump deserves the full credit just yet. It is one thing to discuss it during meetings, but another thing to see it happen. President Moon suggest that that other "key players" would also be front-runners for that "Nobel Prize" his supporters think he deserves. Trump may be the one who helped push the summits, but it takes these leaders' initiatives to accept and partake in them. Regardless, Trump shows he is happy with what is happening by recently tweeting "KOREAN WAR TO END! The United States, and all of its GREAT people, should be very proud of what is now taking place in Korea!" Trump wrote. Read more about this on CNN here.
We sure hope Trump is right and that we are near the end of the Korean war! Do you think President Donald Trump should be credited for the peace in Korea? 95% of us believe Trump will be a hero and should be credited, while 5% don't believe he deserves credit.

Doing Justice: Graduating Psychology Major Puts Her Beliefs Into Action
Wilson, second from right, marches in support of the late Michael Brown in Philadelphia
Looking back on her first days on the Rutgers University–Camden campus, Alexis Wilson recalls that she was "young" – not in an unfocused kind of way, but rather naïve and oblivious to the pressing social issues around her.
"I was just very into myself," says Wilson, a graduating senior psychology major at Rutgers–Camden with minors in women's and gender studies, and linguistics.
However, while some students may experience incremental growth over time, the Washington D.C. resident's trajectory was more like a sharp rise, setting in a motion a potential lifetime of standing up for what she believes.
It was during her sophomore year, she remembers, when she took courses in linguistics and women's and gender studies that made her more attuned to social dialogues taking place around her, primarily on social media. She soon became active in several cultural organizations on campus, including the Latin American Students Organization, Black Student Union, and African Students Association.
Wilson, far right, stands with fellow organizers of the Blackout DC march.
Wilson also began participating as a student actor in "The Tunnel of Oppression," an interactive, immersive, and in-your-face program that brings various forms of abuse to life through a series of skits. She maintains that one of the most rewarding aspects about the program has been her ability to grow as a person.
"It really allows you to be introspective and to have a conversation with yourself," says Wilson. "Since 'Tunnel' first entered my life, I've gotten a lot more into social justice and activism. So when I think about how this experience will impact my future, it already has."
Through all of these enlightening experiences, Wilson enjoyed the opportunity to meet "like-minded" individuals – just as passionate about social issues as she is – who challenged her to be more aware of what she thinks and does.
"A misconception about activism is that you are in it and you are instantly better. Now I know everything about 'blackness or 'feminism,' but it's never like that," she says. "You have to go through years of unlearning things. You want friends who aren't going to call you out, but rather call you in – that's a better concept. You want someone who says, 'I love you. Think about what you're saying.'"
Wilson's dedication to activism would reach new heights during her junior year. As she recalls, four days before Thanksgiving, she was celebrating a "friendsgiving" feast with friends in her dorm room. When the verdict came out that Darren Wilson – the Ferguson police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown – wouldn't be indicted, she stepped into her bedroom and "sank to the floor."
One of her friends then asked her to attend a rally that was taking place in Philadelphia later that evening.
"I don't think there is really any one moment that changes you, because that is a clichéd, romanticized version of how people change, but I think that moment had a lot to do with it," she says.
Blackout DC marchers in front of the U.S. Capitol
In response, three days later, Wilson and one of her classmates organized a die-in on campus.
"That was the first time that I could say 'A for Activist. A for Alexis,' she says.
She then organized and participated in a panel discussion on campus, "Race Riots and Policing," while the riots were taking place in Baltimore following the death of Freddie Gray.
But Wilson was just getting started. That summer, she helped to organize the Blackout DC march, which was attended by more than 500 people in Washington D.C. In a span of several months, she had gone from organizing a die-in on campus to staging a coffin ceremony on the steps of the United States Capitol.
"That was a pretty big jump," says Wilson, who says that she is currently helping to write a grant for the group, renamed Blackout DC Generation Liberation, carry out sustained protests in the Washington D.C. area.
On the Rutgers–Camden campus, Wilson has become a recognized voice in the African American community, serving as a panelist and guest speaker at conferences and events, including the recent Beacons of Light conference commemorating the actions of black activists who helped make Rutgers–Camden the more inclusive campus that it is today.
"Participating in that conference was a very full-circle, visceral kind of moment," she says.
The graduating senior now plans to continue her education while staying as committed as ever to causes close to her heart.
"I tell myself that I want to be the next Bell Hooks, Audrey Lord, or Cornel West, but they are also authors or doctors," says Wilson. "So I'm learning how to translate my passion for activism into a sustainable future."


This easel will hold canvas steady up to 34″ , 86cm high and so is suitable for larger work. However the supplied palette size is very small. This means the easel rates very low on the palette area to weight efficiency ratio. You can use a custom larger palette and clamp it to the easel to overcome this limitation, but the narrow table would make a larger easel a little unstable.


When you're backing up systems, IT services providers in New York City will advise that you focus on the recovery rather than the speed of the data storage. If you are able to back things up fast but it won't boot correctly after a disaster because of transmission errors; then you've basically wasted time and money for a false hope. Provided the process of backup doesn't restrict essential systems from operating, let it take as long as necessary. For the most part, such backup solutions are background operations on the network. They work with your MSP in order to get this disaster recovery measure right.
It won't be feasible for you to maintain backup solutions all the way back to the 90s. Perhaps this is possible, IBM and other big-ticket organizations of the same kind are likely doing this very thing. For most businesses, keeping comprehensive data records decades in the past just isn't feasible. It takes up much unnecessary space. Figure out what you need and how far to maintain backup history. Likely, you're safe dumping old backups every five years. By then you'll have transitioned to an, exponentially, greater echelon of computational solutions; which can retain older data without compromising available space. This will differ per business. Again, consulting an MSP can help give you the most accurate information in this regard.
Your primary backup solutions should surround those operations which are integral to your business. Ensure your necessary operational parameters are taken care of before you back up secondary data. You need to know what is most integral to operations.
If an earthquake swallows the shopping center where your servers are located while you have no online or offsite backup, you lose all that data. It just makes sense to incorporate strategic redundancy via external backup solutions maintained offsite.
Lastly, the most comprehensive backup is useless if you can't restore your systems from it. Test your solutions, regularly, to ensure they're working as they should. Then, when disaster strikes, you know you're safe.
IT services in New York City through HOCS Consulting include disaster recovery solutions. Contact us to comprehensively safeguard systems in the most effective reliable way. Disasters happen, and you can't predict when. So, be appropriately prepared.

Julia Roberts Has Done "Everything in Her Power to Fix" Her Marriage to Husband Danny Moder
Jul 5, 2018 1:00 pm·
By Closer Staff
They were struggling. Julia Roberts was working nonstop, shooting and producing multiple projects in late 2017 and early 2018. Her husband, Danny Moder, who had put his cinematography career on the back burner to focus on their family, felt resentful. The couple argued frequently and he often stayed at a property they own across the street, a friend revealed to Life & Style in the magazine's latest issue, on newsstands now.
"This spring, Julia and Danny were often at odds over his desire to wear the pants in the family," the pal revealed. "And what he saw as her controlling ways." Friends feared Julia, 50, and Danny, 49, were headed for a split after years of escalating tensions. But she wasn't willing to let that happen. Despite their differences, the couple love each other, and the Pretty Woman star decided the relationship was worth fighting for.
In recent weeks, "She's done everything in her power to fix their marriage," the friend shared. Leading up to their 16th wedding anniversary on July 4, "Julia pulled out all the stops to show Danny how much she values him and their relationship. It's managed to pull them back from the brink."
Julia's most recent gesture was to plan a dream-come-true trip for Danny. "Julia organized a healing surf trip to Fiji," the pal said, zeroing in on something she knew her husband, a lifelong surfer, would relish. "She saw it as a chance to fix their floundering marriage and knew it would be a great way to thank Danny for being her rock."
In late June, the friend revealed, "They took off for a week to Tavarua Island, a family-friendly surf resort known for its worldclass waves, with some friends of Danny's, their spouses, and their kids." Julia went the extra mile "and flew most of the group out on her plane," added the pal. "They had the whole island to themselves."
She'd been working to smooth things over well before the trip. When she got home from filming her latest movie, Ben Is Back, she surprised Danny and their kids — Henry, 11, and twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, 13 — with a black lab puppy named Brown. "She felt like it would bring them together as a family," the friend confessed. She also started shooting her new Amazon series, the thriller Homecoming in LA, not far from their Malibu compound, "which allowed her to be home at night."
The getaway meant the most to Danny, though. Julia "is learning to give up the control that's caused so many problems in their marriage. This has eased the tension," the friend said. "She's hoping that this trip will really help them strengthen their marriage after being so close to divorce."

Julia Roberts Gushes About Her Marriage To Husband Danny Moder: 'We Have So Much Fun!'


A recent Gallup poll shows that America's support for labor unions has jumped 5 percent in the past year, bringing it to 58 percent. This is the highest such figure since 2008 when 59 percent approved.
The poll was conducted between August 5th and 9th and is part of Gallup's annual Work and Education survey. The numbers show an improving image of unions which had reached an all-time low in 2009 after the government bailout of the big three auto companies.
Gallup first asked Americans about support for unions in 1936 after Congress legalized private sector unions and collective bargaining. At the time, 72 percent of Americans approved of unions. Support remained high before dipping in the 70's, reaching a low of 55 percent in 1979. Approval fluctuated in the upcoming decades, reaching as high as 66 percent in 1999 and as low as 48 percent just 10 years later.
The poll also shows that a growing number of Americans would like to see unions have more influence in the country. That number is up to 37 percent compared to 25 percent in 2009. During the same period, the percentage of Americans wanting unions to have less influence in the country has declined from 42 percent to 35 percent.
A breakdown of the numbers along demographics shows a few interesting trends. Women approve of unions more than men (63 to 52). Women also want more union influence (41 to 33). Considering the struggle to make wages and work conditions equitable between the sexes, this makes perfect sense.
Not surprisingly, the South is the only region where more people disapprove of unions than approve. Encouragingly, the 18-34 age group shows the most enthusiasm about unionism. Along party lines, 79 percent of Democrats approved of unions and 55 percent wanted them to have more influence. Roughly half of Republicans support unions, but only 18 percent want to see them have more influence.
Approximately one in eight working adults in the U.S. (12%) belong to a labor union, equivalent to 8% of all Americans. More broadly, 17% of Americans live in a household where at least one person belongs to a union. But, notably, this varies markedly by region, with just 6% of adults in the South living in a union household, compared with 18% in the West and roughly a quarter in the East (24%) and Midwest (23%). Membership is also higher among nonwhites (24%) than whites (13%), and among Democrats (24%) than Republicans and independents (13% each). There are smaller differences by gender, and almost none by age.

Friday eXcursion: Invisible, Inc.
Posted on August 7, 2015 October 12, 2017 by Oliver "Mezmorki" Kiley
It seems that I can't walk down the street these days without getting blindsided by another turn-based tactical RPG. I wonder if the rebirth of XCOM helped fuel the growing popularity of the genre. Or perhaps it is the result of gamers' latent desire for RPG-ifying every possible genre. Another possibility is that maybe the market is finally responding to all of our pent-up longings for modern versions of classic turn-based goodness like Syndicate or Fallout or XCOM or Shadowrun. Whatever the cause, it's a trend that I endorse.
So it is no surprise that I followed Invisible, Inc. (currently the Steam Weekend Deal), a recent entry into the tactical RPG realm, with keen interest and picked it up following its May 2015 release. Invisible, Inc., by developers Klei Entertainment of Don't Starve renown, has you managing a small squad of sneaky operatives on the run from a cadre of global megacorps after being ferreted out of their not-so-hidden-secret-base. The game follows the XCOM mold of having both a strategic management layer and a tactical mission layer, but the overall design is far more focused around your small 4-person squad of operatives and the infiltration-based missions you conduct with them.
In a nod to roguelikes, the other design trend that seems to be ramrodding its way into all possible genres, the game features procedural generation for each mission level, turn-based tactics, and of course permadeath. While your team is technically on the run, the missions themselves have you infiltrating various megacorp facilities to hijack goods, agents, data, and other gear while staying one step ahead of private security forces and an ever-increasing alarm level (more on that in a moment). Invisible, Inc., is a fast-paced and aesthetically attractive game (I'm a total sucker for The Incredibles-style cartoon-art), and as I will explain, deliciously thinky in mostly all the right ways.
The Strategic Management Layer
In Invisible, Inc., you will manage up to four operatives along with Incognita, the ever-charming AI persona that is the heart and soul of the Invisible organization. The overarching goal of the game is to find a suitable mainframe to host Incognita, who was damaged in the attack on your HQ and is now on virtual life support. There are a number of different game modes and difficulty settings to fiddle with during setup, which benefits the game in terms of challenge and replayability. Unless you are playing on endless mode (which effectively disables the story), the objective is to survive for a set period of days depending on the game settings (e.g. 72 hours for the basic game) and make it to the final mission. The final mission gives you an opportunity to upload Incognita and save the day.
The operative customization screen in-between missions.
You will start a game session (or "run") with two agents selected from a pool of up to 10, and unlock more agents as you play earn experience. Each agent has a unique augmentation and/or starting gear that will define much of your approach and strategy during the tactical missions. You also have options for configuring Incognita's starting programs, which likewise establishes a strategic direction for your team. More on the implications of this in a bit.
The strategic gameplay focuses on two fairly simple elements: outfitting your agents and choosing missions; there isn't much more to it. However, the decisions you make here, while limited in breadth, are rarely straightforward and easy. Agents have a few basic stats that can be upgraded, but doing so is expensive and it can be agonizing trying to decide which skills to prioritize. Likewise, agents have a very limited number of equipment slots for holding gear, especially early on, so deciding what to give each agent and how to synergize their equipment, skills, and augmentations is vitally important. What's more, the jet your team is using for a home base can only hold four extra pieces of gear, so effectively there is no "stash" like you have in XCOM. While thematically a little incongruent, it does force more choices in what you keep or discard.
The other strategic element is choosing which mission to pursue. As a point of comparison, I found XCOM's tactical missions woefully repetitive, and thankfully Invisible, Inc.'s missions provide a far greater variety. The basic missions have you sneaking in to steal a powerful piece of equipment or access an advanced nano-forge. More complex missions have you accessing cyberlabs to get additional augmentations or hacking, literally, into the mind of a megacorp CEO to steal their access codes, which enables you to infiltrate a secure vault on a subsequent mission. There are also rescue missions where you have an opportunity to rescue an agent, allowing them to join your team, or "rescue" a VIP that you can ransom off for a nice chunk of money.
Choose your mission… wisely!
In addition to the mission types, each of the megacorps has its own flavor. Some rely heavily on using robots and drones, others on mainframe augmentation (such as firewall-like "digital armor"), heavily armored units, or static defensive turrets. Although you are doing similar things across all the missions, the pacing and flavor can be quite different depending on which megacorp you're targeting and which mission type you're conducting. Furthermore, for each day that passes the strength of the security forces increases across the globe, ramping up the difficulty overtime. So while the strategic management layer appears relatively simple, the further you advance into the game, the more the stakes rise and decisions about outfitting your squad and selecting missions matter to your survival.
Before diving into the tactical aspect of the gameplay, I want to mention the biggest failing (or missed opportunity) of the game in my view, which concerns the overall narrative structure. If you play the basic game first, as recommended, beating the final mission is not very challenging. This is bad because you see the conclusion to the game's story (which has some predictable and also unexpected twists) early on and there is nothing left to see story-wise.
For me, this saps some of the enjoyment out of the game. I would've greatly preferred seeing either different endings depending on your choices or revealing more of the story by beating it on harder difficulty levels. That would give players a stronger reason to replay with the story mode enabled. Even better, connecting the story directly with the missions could add more strategy to the gameplay. For example, if you had to steal an access card from each of the megacorps to unlock the final mission and it were up to the player to choose how to do that, then the narrative would connect better to the strategic gameplay.
A particularly nasty situation with my team split apart by a rampaging security bot.
A Guidebook for Megacorp Infiltration
It is a testament to Invisible, Inc.'s excellent tactical gameplay that I'm happy to look past the weak narrative and simple strategic gameplay and proclaim that the tactical execution is the best I can remember in a long time. Maybe ever. Fundamentally, this is because the missions are "multi-layered" in a way that pulls together different gameplay systems and requires players to juggle their decisions meticulously across all of them. The net experience is challenging and tense, and it got my blood pumping on a regular basis as I agonizes over how I'm going to get my agents to the mission objective and back out alive. Let's break it down.
First of all, timing is central to everything in Invisible, Inc., and this focus creates a wonderful connection to the stealth and infiltration theme. Metaphorically speaking, planning and executing a mission is like building a giant sequence of dominos and waiting for the right moment to set them tumbling. If your timing is off (e.g. a domino is out of place), the entire sequence can fall apart, putting you in a serious bind. This dynamic perfectly captures the feeling of sneaking into a facility, crossing your fingers that nothing slipped your notice and comes knocking on the door while you are fiddling with the proverbial safe. It's just great.
In the big picture, there is a mission "alarm level" that proceeds from 0 to 6. Each time the alarm level goes up, something bad happens: cameras turn back on, firewall levels increase, hostile daemon programs are activated, additional guards show up, etc. When the alarm gets to level 6, your agents' locations are detected each turn and very nasty guards flood the level, so you really don't want to stick around. Each game turn, the alarm ticks one point towards increasing in level. And of course being spotted or detected during the mission further increases the alarm level.
The alarm level is in effect a currency for time, and it is always running out. Over the course of a mission, the alarm mechanic forces you make tradeoffs about time. How long can you spend cracking corporate safes to steal more credits? Can you afford the "lost time" to be seen by a camera in one instance in order to accomplish something else? Can you risk dividing up your team to cover different parts of the facility more quickly? These are all high-level questions to address at the tactical level, and this global alarm level mechanic is just one of the layers in play!
Incognita's view of the world though the hacking interface.
The second layer of tactical gameplay relates to Incognita's hacking and power management. Most objects in the level, like safes, nano-fabs, cameras, drones, and sound sensors are protected by one or more levels of firewall. Early in a run firewalls are weak at level 1 or 2. But ten days later firewalls can regularly get up to 8 or 9 levels of strength, and hacking through them requires a planned and coordinated effort. You need to hack through these firewalls to turn off cameras, take control of robots or turrets, access mission objectives, and so on. Which is where Incognita comes in.
Incognita can have up to 5 programs installed, and most of these provide different tools for breaking down firewalls. Many of these tools operate over time (e.g. removes one firewall per turn from a device) or have cooldown timers on how frequently they can be used. Coordinating the movement of your agents to access a device at the exact moment the firewall comes down (and the guard's back is turned!) is a major part of the gameplay. Furthermore, the mix of programs you have available really drives your overall approach to the mission.
The hacking layer is further complicated by the need to manage Incognita's power reserves, since running a program consumes power. You can acquire additional power by having your agents tap into access terminals, as well as from certain passive programs or pieces of equipment. This need for power strengthens the interplay between Incognita, hacking, and your agents; agents provide power to Incognita, which runs hacking programs that let the agents progress through the mission. Again, all of it is based on careful timing and sequencing.
Oh, and did I mention that during harder missions, devices might be protected by daemons? These defensive programs place some negative effect on your team every time a firewall is taken down. Most of the time, daemons are masked so you won't know what is about to affect you. Daemon effects can range from stealing credits (not too bad), to increasing power costs for programs (not good at all), to auto-detecting your agents each turn (really bad!) Good luck with that!
I almost lost it here. 7 guards KO'd, 3 dead in the other room, and more on the way.
As for the agents themselves, their movements and interactions with the guards is the final layer in the tactical trifecta. Guards are either stationary or on a patrol route. If you spot a patrolling guard while remaining undetected you can observe its patrol route and thus plan your movement around them accordingly. Obviously hiding behind things and generally being out of sight goes without saying. But inevitably, and especially on the higher difficulty missions, contact with the enemy is unavoidable: they are going to be blocking an objective or guarding a safe that holds the exit keycard.
Invisible, Inc. is not a game about blasting your way through the facility. While you do have lethal options at your disposal, nearly every guard is equipped with a heartbeat monitor which dramatically raises the alarm level if they die. Instead, you rely on various non-lethal attacks to knock out (KO) the guards, by setting up ambushes with your trusty neural disruptor around a corner or sneak attacking with a tranq dart. What makes this more difficult, however, is that guards have different levels of armor protection, requiring your operatives to be kitted out with armor-penetrating augments or gear, which are always in short supply.
And of course, KO'd guards only remain unconscious for a brief period of time (2-4 turns, typically), and when they wake up the alarm level goes up anyway and they start hunting for you. The trick is that if you "suppress" a guard a by leaving one of your agents standing on them, their KO timer doesn't go down. The effect of all of this is that you can quickly end up in a ridiculous (in a good way!) logistics puzzle of dragging the bodies of knocked out guards around as you try to keep them out of sight and suppressed while staying close to the rest of the team. When things get really ugly, and half a dozen guards are coming at you, setting up ambushes and deciding when to stop suppressing a guard can be a satisfying challenge.
Hacking a nano-fab mid-mission.
The variety of equipment is not huge, but it's enough to create a unique flair and role for each member of the team, which in turn creates a unique experience for the entire run. A single high-level piece of equipment can be game defining, like a level 3 stealth field that can turn your entire team invisible for a round, or a level 3 EMP bomb that can knock out power to mainframe devices across a huge area. Most gear, including weapons, either operate with cooldown timers or consume power. Again that timing element! At the higher levels of difficulty, you need every trick you can muster to survive. Using the stronger equipment also requires upgrading your agents, which is expensive on its own, so it all ties back to the strategic gameplay.
Invisible, Inc. is a challenging game that is put together extremely well. The tactical gameplay is exceptional in my mind. At times it can feel a little puzzle-like, as if there is always one right solution to a tough situation you are facing. But in reality the hunt for an optimal solution is never cut-and-dry. There are enough unexpected elements that pop up during play to keep you on your toes as the tension nears its climax. Depending on the difficulty level you chose, the game gives you a number of rewinds per mission. Using a rewind brings you back to the beginning of the previous turn so you can try a different approach if you made a miscalculation or get stuck due to a random element. Playing on harder difficulties gives you fewer rewinds (or disables them entirely).
Another harrowing mission almost lost!
I find the game aesthetics very attractive. It reminds me of Pixar's The Incredibles, in a sort of comic hero way, and I like it quite a bit. I'm still rocking a 7200rpm hard drive (no SSD for me), and I'm amazed how quickly this game launches and loads, making it easy to jump in and quickly get to the action. Performance-wise it's been smooth sailing from the start.
Overall, Invisible, Inc. has been an exceptionally fun game to play. I do wish the narrative structure of the game was more inventive and varied, as I think it could have made the strategic level gameplay more interesting. And as a game with character progression a sense of RPG-ish elements, there really wasn't much other narrative or dialogue to add character to the different operatives. So thematically the game comes off a little dry.
However, the triple-layered tactical gameplay, requiring that you juggle your agents' actions, alarm levels, and Incognita's hacking and power management makes for a tense and complex experience. If you are interested in turn-based tactical games, especially with an infiltration/stealth theme, Invisible, Inc. deserves a serious look.
Post-mission report – hopefully your net worth went up!

An analysis of the superyacht interior design sector
The Superyacht Agency takes a look at the numbers behind the top interior designers in the industry…
Image provided by: Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design
The superyacht interior designer sector is fascinating for a number of reasons. Stakeholders working in this space must be incredibly agile and flexible in order to deliver the very highest quality of creative and bespoke interiors for UHNWI's. The typical interior designer also boasts a unique and intimate relationship with their clients, who often demand perfection and outrageousness as a minimum standard. In this article, data from The Superyacht Agency will be analysed to provide insight into a corner of the industry which is often simply admired on its aesthetically pleasing surface level.
Analysing the interior design sector by country reveals the extent to which the Italians dominate the largest share of the market, with 804 projects on 30m plus vessels since 2010. With that being said, the United Kingdom have done arguably more work in bigger spaces, as the data shows that the Brits have a higher average gross tonnage. However, despite having 754 less projects than the Italians, it is the French who have surpassed the 2,000 average GT mark during the same time period. The average length of vessels that have been worked on by French interior designers in the last 12 years stands at 67m.
Moreover, clients who own the very largest private yachts in the world (over 90m in LOA) are typically choosing to have their interiors designed by British companies. Italy also has an impressive resume in the 90m plus sector having worked on fourteen projects since 2010. Between the UK and French designers, they have worked on yachts with an average length of 116m when analysing above the 90m plus bracket.
In terms of individual designers, Winch Design has delivered almost 500 metres in LOA since 2010 while Terence Disdale Design have completed almost 35,000 gross tonnage during the same time period. Nuvolari-Lenard, who are responsible for the interior design on 143m motoryacht 'Nord', Alberto Pinto, the interior designers behind the 140m Ocean Victory, and Zuretti Design, who completed the interior on Lurssens 106m Amadea, all came close to hitting the 400 metre total LOA mark.
Francesco Paszkowski has delivered the most interior design projects over 30m since 2010, with 96 in total. However, the design companies with the highest average LOA include RWD, Zuretti, and Azimut Benetti. Those same companies also boast the highest average gross tonnage of the top ten category - a possible testament to the amount of work available in the 40-50 metre section of the market. All of the interior design companies in the top ten category for most projects delivered are on average working on superyachts that are over 40 metres in length. The inclusion of both Azimut Benetti and Zuretti in the overall top ten graph as well as the 90 metre plus graph is proof of their agility and ability to deliver constant interior design projects across all sizes of vessels in the superyacht fleet.
The data provided above is just a small snapshot of The Superyacht Agency's full capabilities. By overlaying various data sets, The Superyacht Agency is able to create accurate pictures of not just the interior design sector, but the full myriad of the industry's various divisions .

Immaterial affluence: a cultural shift
Built to discriminate
Why Lürssen's 'Alice' is more than a concept


Seattle is my second home and the love for the place for its nature & scenic beauty continues. I have gotten used to the weather and adapted to the climatic changes quite well. As many people might complain about the weather in Seattle, I'm not missing the fun & the adventures especially with several friends that I have earned in the last several years.
I always loved and wished to travel as many places that I can see in this world but didn't have much opportunity nor time during those early days of my career due to different priorities. My first job opened the door for my first business trip to the United States and continued from there on. I have always captured several photos and used to organize/store them online or post in social media with mini notes. We travelled to several places in the US and we made it a point to do atleast once a year. It's kind of a family rule :-). I normally start the vacation planning very early on and Mani has always been very supportive of the vacations plans that I have organized for the family.
The passion for writing travel blogs started on our 10th anniversary year. Lots of ideas popped up during that year of capturing all of our travel & other memories into a book. The book thing needs a lot of commitment and I was not ready at that time. I was on an official trip to Shanghai during that time and happened to cover one of the day blog writing for my colleague Janice. This triggered me further to pursue my passion towards blog writing.
Europe trip coverage was my first attempt to write a complete travel blog. It started from there and have been enjoying capturing every bit of the travel adventures that we've been so far. I had been thinking for a long time to create my own website and just didn't find the right time to get it done. Originally I was leaning towards more of a travel blog site but went down the path of adding other interest areas that I have been maintaining in other websites. It becomes centralized and easy to maintain from my end as well.
Hiking is an interest that we developed as a family and been enjoying it. Group hikes are always fun and I have enjoyed every hike with friends, family & relatives in & around Seattle area.I feel extremely happy when my blog has helped someone with their travel planning. My travel wish list is growing longer and definitely want to see the entire world during my lifetime.
Feedback is a gift and when you receive those valuable feedback from your loved ones, friends and colleagues it motivates you more and will enhance creativity at its best. Thanks to all my family members & friends who have always been there & supported me on this blog journey.
Please feel free to comment on the blog and share your thoughts. Let me know if any of the blog sections have helped you & your family for travel planning. The pictures & blog content are copyrighted but you can share them and add a link to this blog.

Crystal Palace cheerleaders, Man United's grey kit, loud Frogs and the top 10 worst excuses in sport
Damian Mannion
31st March 2011, 2:16 pm
Updated: 21st June 2013, 1:51 pm
With Crystal Palace sitting just above the relegation zone in the Championship, some fans have called for the club's sexy cheerleaders 'The Crystals' to be banned after their shows were deemed too provocative and distracting. Although Palace haven't lost a match at home since The Crystals started performing at Selhurst Park in December, some fans have likened their perfomances to 'just pole dancers on grass', worrying that they could affect the team's concentration.
We think blaming the lovely ladies is just a poor excuse, like these other lame excuses in sport…
1) Manchester United BLAME THEIR GREY KIT
The first of many great Fergie excuses came in 1996. United were 3-0 down to an average Southampton side at half-time, so Fergie made the decision to change the team's shirts because the players couldn't see each other properly. Hmm, ok. It didn't make much of a difference as United still lost 3-1.
2) DAVID JAMES BLAMES HIS PLAYSTATION
David James has long been associated with howlers, but back in 1997 while playing for Liverpool, the goalkeeper let in a hat-trick of horrors against Newcastle, followed by gaffs against Man United and Paris St Germain. His excuse? Too much Playstation. James said: "I was getting carried away playing Tekken II and Tomb Raider for hours on end." Some might say concentrating on a game was the real problem.
3) ENGLAND BLAME THE WAGS
At Germany 2006 it was the Baden Baden-partying WAGs that got the blame for distracting the England players with their shopping and dodgy hair extensions. But in South Africa 2010 Spanish sports journalist and Iker Casillas' super WAG Sara Carbonero was blamed for the European Champions losing their opening match with Switzaland. Carbonero was filming behind the goal which apparently distracted her man, but Spain won the trophy, so England need to find a new excuse.
4) DALGLISH BLAMES 'TOO BOUNCY BALLS'
In 1998 Dalglish was at the helm for Newcastle as they struggled to a 1-1 draw at Conference side Stevenage Borough. With England skipper Alan Shearer and other big names playing for United it wasn't the players Dalglish blamed, but the match balls, which he claimed were "too bouncy".
5) RONNIE O'SULLIVAN BLAMES STREAKER
Back in 1997 the Rocket was storming towards victory over Steve Davis in the Masters final at Wembley when a streaker interrupted the match. Ronnie at the time was five frames ahead, but after the naked distraction O'Sullivan lost the next seven frames and the title. This isn't a cock'n'ball story.
6) CYCLIST TYLER HAMILTON BLAMES TWIN
It all sounds a bit CSI, but American cyclist Hamilton failed a drug test in 2005 after 'mixed populations' of blood cells were found in his blood sample – essentially, it appeared that he'd had blood cells from another person injected into his body, to give him an unfair physical advantage. Hamilton, however, claimed the different cells came from his twin brother, who died in the uterus before being born. Funnily enough he didn't escape punishment and the former Olympic gold medallist was banned for two years.
7) FRANK RIJKAARD BLAMES CARDS
The Dutch team got off to a poor start in Euro 2000 and manager Frank Rijkaard needed to find out what was going wrong, fast. Rijkaard blamed the players being involved in too many card games saying: "My players prefer to play cards and have been taking little interest in what is happening elsewhere and that has disappointed me." Bunch of queens.
8) UKRAINE BLAME FROGS
The Ukrainian football team blamed a 4-0 defeat to Spain at 2006 World Cup on frogs. No, not the French, but poor amphibians took the blame for a shocking display after the little blighters reportedly kept the players awake all night, croaking outside their bedroom windows. Player Valdislav Vashchuk said: "Because of the frogs' croaking we hardly got a wink of sleep," before adding that "we all agreed we would take some sticks and go and hunt them". Now that's what you call hopping mad.
9) ITALY BLAME THEIR FEET
Euro 2004 was eventful: Greece won, Milan Baros was leading goalscorer and the Italians were absolute crud. For a team that would be crowned World Cup winners just two years later, what could have been their excuse for a dismal 0-0 draw with Denmark? Francesco Totti blamed his boots: "It was like having your feet on boiling sand." Christian Panucci blamed his socks: "The thread that these socks were made with is too rough." Meanwhile, lovable rogue Gennaro Gattuso said: "My foot was smushed." We're guessing that's a combination of smashed and crushed, or just plain nonsense.
10) Alex Ferguson BLAMES HIS BOWELS
Yes we may have mentioned Sir Alex already, but he does love a good excuse. If it wasn't the referee, the 'bumpy' pitch or the sun being in the goalkeeper's eyes, it was the jet-lag the players were suffering from a flight from Fenerbache three days earlier (5-0 defeat to Newcastle in 1996). But Fergie's most impressive excuse came off the pitch. Caught speeding in 1999, Fergie's appeal to the court was that he had "severe diarrhoea" and therefore was rushing home to the toilet. He got away with no charges, but may have left some skidmarks.

Q: I want to get data from firebase to inside fragment with recycler view I'm trying to make a project for myself. I got stuck at some point.
I want to get data from firebase to inside fragment with recycler view.
I really need your help.
I tried a few ways. But i couldn't it. I create recyclerviewconfig and firebasehelper class but it didn't work.
Today i tried firebaseUI. but again didn't work.
public class Kumas extends Fragment {

        return KumasFragmet;
    }

    @Override
    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();

        FirebaseRecyclerOptions<KumasTanim> options = new FirebaseRecyclerOptions.Builder<KumasTanim>()

                    protected void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull final MaliyetKumasListesiViewHolder maliyetKumasListesiViewHolder, int i, @NonNull KumasTanim kumasTanim) {

                                maliyetKumasListesiViewHolder.kumas_adi.setText(kumasTanim.getKumas_adi());

            sarfiyat = itemView.findViewById(R.id.item_sarfiyat_tw);
            fiyat = itemView.findViewById(R.id.item_fiyat_tw);
        }
    }
}

it doesn't give any errors.

A: Kindly add event Listener , if you are not getting the data you then you will might get database error.Kidnly check that error first.To first the Problem.
  MaliyetKumasListesiReference .addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
      @Override
          public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
          Post post = dataSnapshot.getValue(Post.class);
          System.out.println(post);
       }

      @Override
          public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {
            System.out.println("The read failed: " + databaseError.getCode());
         }
       });

A: You need to add eventlistener to retrieve the data. So try the below method and hope it will work.
@Override
public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();

    FirebaseRecyclerOptions<KumasTanim> options = new FirebaseRecyclerOptions.Builder<KumasTanim>()
            .setQuery(MaliyetKumasListesiReference,KumasTanim.class)
            .build();

    FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<KumasTanim,MaliyetKumasListesiViewHolder> adapter =
            new FirebaseRecyclerAdapter<KumasTanim, MaliyetKumasListesiViewHolder>(options) {
                @Override
                protected void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull final MaliyetKumasListesiViewHolder maliyetKumasListesiViewHolder, int i, @NonNull KumasTanim kumasTanim) {

                  MaliyetKumasListesiReference.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

Books Under the wire the wartime memoir of a Spitfire pilot, legendary escape artist and 'cooler king' description Object description. Includes index. Show more. Object Swastika in the gunsight memoirs of a Russian fighter. The reader, with the necessary context to spot the otherworldly wizards as actual Nazis with a non-non-Nazi swastika, realizes he's in trouble a fair way before he does. Live-Action Television Kolchak: The Night Stalker: In the episode "Horror in the Heights", swastikas were being painted on walls in a neighborhood with a large Jewish population.
The meaning of the swastika needs to be understood in its entirety. Only then will we be able to be more accepting of different cultures in an open-minded fashion. What people do not realize is that Indians or people who use the symbol do not follow or believe in the agenda of the Nazi : Simran Kripalani. On the next page, the swastika becomes detached from the flag and floats like an ominous moon on the horizon behind the scene of a pogrom. Spiegelman here is milking the emotive power of the swastika for all that it is worth. But perhaps the most interesting use of the swastika in MAUS is to be found towards the end of the book.
Swastika in the Gunsight: Memoirs of a Russian Fighter Pilot by Kaberov Red Sky, Black Death: A Soviet Woman Pilot's Memoir of the Eastern Front by Anna Timofeyeva-Yegorova The first one has really not gotten very good reviews, but the 2nd has and is on my wish list. This book, published under two different names but very much the same one, tells us how a young woman from a small town near Kalinin finished school and moved to Moscow, seeking a good opportunity. With the construction of the vast metro system going at full speed, jobs in the area were readily available.

Q: .replace and anchors I have an anchor like this in my website:
<a href="javascript:OpenNewWindow('/PhotoDetails.asp?ProductCode=ProductCode', 640, 480)" title="">

Using jQuery, how would it be possible to replace javascript:OpenNewWindow('/PhotoDetails with /ProductDetails and replace ', 640, 480) with nothing?
I tried .replace but it's complicated since theres single quotes in the content.
Thanks.

A: I'm not a regex guru, but here is a simple indexOf solution using the single quotes as boundaries.
http://jsfiddle.net/CWjV5/3
$('a').each( function() {
    var href = $(this).prop('href');
    href = href.substring(href.indexOf("'") + 1, href.lastIndexOf("'"));
    href = href.replace('Photo', 'Product');
    $(this).prop('href', href);
});;

Orifarm Group manages to provide cheaper pharmaceuticals to millions of consumers in Europe while earning money to invest in future activities. Despite fierce competition, Orifarm closes its fiscal year 2017 with an annual result showing 10 percent growth in net turnover and the second best earnings in the history of the company.
Orifarm Group continues its progress of recent years. The annual result shows growth in both top and bottom line, and this trend is partly due to successful acquisitions and significant growth in the sales of generic pharmaceuticals.
Orifarm Generics, subsidiary company of Orifarm Group, has acquired Growth House Holding including the companies Alternova, Viminco and Pilum Pharma, which develop, manufacture and sell generic pharmaceutical products in the Nordic countries.
Denmark's biggest supplier of pharmaceuticals, Orifarm Group, continues its positive development. The annual results for 2014 shows an increase in revenue and an improved operating result, not least due to a significant improvement in the business area of generic medications.
From 1st March 2014 Pharma Westen operates under the name of Orifarm GmbH. As part of the renaming, the ERP-systems were changed. Pharmaceuticals can now be ordered under the new name Orifarm (abbreviation: ORI).

Dr Mario World is the lowest grossing Nintendo mobile launch so far
But Sensor Tower says puzzle game is on par with latest Candy Crush release
Nintendo's entry into the mobile market doesn't appear to be gaining momentum, as Dr Mario World has only generated $100,000 in its first three days.
That's according to data from Sensor Tower, which also reports the game has racked up two million installs so far.
The company recognised that Dr Mario is not as high profile a franchise as Super Mario, Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing -- all of which have received mobile releases -- and was not marketed as heavily as previous titles. Nonetheless, it makes for disappointing figures.
As you can see from the graph below, it's the lowest revenue figure for the first 72 hours of a Nintendo mobile title, and the second lowest number of installs -- beating only new IP Dragalia Lost, which was limited to five markets at launch.
So far, Nintendo has yet to improve upon the $11.6 million Fire Emblem Heroes generated in the equivalent number of market and timeframe, or $6.5 million achieved by Super Mario Run (which was only available on iOS at launch).
Of course, it's important to note Dr Mario World has a different monetisation model to those titles. Fire Emblem uses gacha-style collectibles to monetise (although this has since been removed in Belgium amid concerns over loot boxes), while Super Mario Run attempted a 'free-to-start' model whereby players began with a limited number of levels and paid $9.99 for the full game.
Dr Mario World, meanwhile, uses a model more similar to other match three puzzlers such as Candy Crush, and in that regard, it's performing reasonably well in its genre.
Sensor Tower notes that King's last Candy Crush release -- Candy Crush Friends Saga -- generated $137,000 in the same timeframe and the same markets, and that's using monetisation techniques honed over four titles and more than six years.
Nintendo is expected to release another mobile title, Mario Kart Tour, by the end of the year, although there has been no official word on how it will monetise.

U.S. Attorney Kenneth A. Polite announced that COREY D. WILSON, age 37, of New Orleans, was sentenced today for his role in a conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin.
U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo sentenced WILSON to 124 months imprisonment, 8 years of supervised release, and a special assessment of $100.
U.S. Attorney Polite praised the work of the Drug Enforcement Administration, a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area group ("HIDTA group") consisting of DEA in New Orleans and Houston, NOPD and ATF agents, the West Bank Major Crimes Task Force, the Louisiana State Police, and the United States Postal Inspection Service in investigating this matter. This was an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sharan Lieberman and Collin Sims are in charge of the prosecution.
