Discovering Alone 5 – Evil Gameplay
Welcome back to Discovering Alone. Following the article about how the Hero plays in Alone, it's now time to have a look at the gameplay for the one to three players who control the forces of Evil.
At the beginning of the game, the Evil players follow a mostly randomized procedure to generate a new map layout. This is so you will always have a different experience, even when replaying the exact same scenario. Each story chapter is narratively described in the scenario booklet, but gameplay-wise, most scenarios are composed of three kinds of cards: a Main Objective, a Bonus Mission, and an Ongoing Malus.
In Alone, Evil players react to the Hero's action, spawning and moving hideous creatures.
The Main Objective is the mission the Hero needs to complete to win the game. The other two missions are optional. If the Hero completes the Bonus Mission, he will gain some kind of permanent advantage for the rest of the game. The Ongoing Malus, instead, is a nuisance that is active from the beginning of the game. If the Hero completes it, the nuisance is permanently removed. Since they are the only ones allowed to look behind the screen, it's the Evil players' duty to setup and manage the missions.
Once the setup is completed and the game has started, it's the Hero's turn to become the absolute protagonist of the adventure. The Evil players will have to see what he does, plan a series of traps to stop him from completing his missions, and wait for the best moment to strike. They all play together towards a common goal: killing the Hero, or at the very least preventing him from completing his Main Objective.
The Evil players don't have a proper turn, instead they React to the Hero's Actions. They can Spawn Creatures, Move Creatures, Place Alert tokens, or Play Cards. They don't have to spend Action points to pay for these: to pay the cost of a Reaction, they need to discard a certain number of cards. Creatures and Alert tokens are the main menaces the Evil players directly places on the map. Whenever placed or moved, they produce radar signals the Evil players must communicate to the Hero (who can use this info to deduce and avoid the Evil players' plots). They are usually activated when the Hero enters an Unrevealed Sector containing some of these menaces, either because of his own recklessness, or a well-planned Evil bluff. To make things even more difficult, the Evil players can place fake Alerts, forcing the Hero to lose time to check all of them, or run through and take risks.
A randomized procedure is used to generate the map layout, for a different experience even when replaying the same scenario.
Cards, instead, are mainly used in response, and have a more "instant" use. They all have a Basic effect and a Bonus effect, triggered by some kind of requirement (like the presence of a Creature or an Alert token, or other environmental conditions). If particular requirements are fulfilled (and the Evil players still have enough cards to pay the extra costs involved), the cards can even be chained together to create a bigger combo with one single Reaction. A lot of careful planning is required to pull it off, and a bit of luck too, but when it happens it is a very satisfactory moment for the Evil players… not so much for the Hero, of course!
Each Evil player has a different personal deck; moreover, each deck is thematically different, changing its player's overall gameplay style. For example, the Fury deck is specialized towards fighting and dealing a lot of HP damage; the Fear deck is all about sneak attacks and undermining the Hero's Self-Control; and so on.
Each Evil player has a differently themed card deck, which changes his overall gameplay style.
A different Evil player will be the Evil Leader during each one of the Hero's turns. The Evil Leader has more cards in hand than his allies, so he'll be able to play more than the others during that round, and he will also be making the calls when the Evil players disagree on the strategy to apply. Since the Evil card decks are different, each turn will be played slightly differently, depending on which deck is used by the Leader. This has two advantages: even if their game is fully cooperative, each Evil player will still feel unique and special; it will also force the Hero to plan his moves differently, each round. It may be better to avoid a fight, when the Fury player is in charge!
The Hero does not have an easy life in Alone, but the Evil players have their own challenges as well. They can't just play everything they want, whenever or wherever they like. They are not only limited to one Reaction at a time; the Hero can also prevent them from doing so thanks to its Adrenaline. Their hand of cards is limited, and without cards, they can't React anymore; finally, the Creatures and Alerts general pool is limited too (they can't be replaced when they are killed or removed), and only a certain number of them can be present on the map at the same time. Evil players need to be careful with their resources, just like the Hero.
The next – and final – article of Discovering Alone will focus on the game's artwork in a chat with the illustrator Steve Hamilton.

Hit & Run 1½/4 A movie review by James Berardinelli
September 6, 2012 by James Berardinelli - Reelviews
For an action comedy, it's generally advisable that the movie be (a) exciting, (b) funny, or (c) both of the above. In the case of Hit & Run, the unfortunate choice is (d) none of the above.
A slow, meandering misfire of a movie, this co-directorial production of David Palmer and Dax Shepard tries hard to achieve a Quentin Tarantino vibe (consider the sequence focused on the ingredients of an inferior brand of dog food) but doesn't do a good job. It's like Mozart being interpreted by someone who's tone-deaf. (I'm sure Tarantino would get a kick out being compared to Mozart.) And the ending is so flaccid that it takes a few minutes to realize that the climax has come and gone. (Women may be more familiar with that experience than men.)
Some of Hit & Run's comedy is just plain strange. Although "strange" does not necessarily equate to "funny," there's a penchant for quirkiness. Consider, for example, the hotel room occupied by a group of old naked fat people. (Note: in the trailer, they have been given CGI underwear, but there's not of that in the movie – sort of like Natalie Portman's chainmail bikini.) That's where Hit & Run earns the "nudity" in its rating content description. The scene isn't really funny (unless you find out-of-shape human bodies to be funny, which I suppose is possible – think Kathy Bates in About Schmidt) but it is unusual. Most of the material with Tom Arnold, whose character exists exclusively for comedic purposes, is more annoying than amusing.

Biggar Rugby Club ended their BT National League Division 2 season with a comprehensive 55-12 home victory over Preston Lodge on Saturday, writes Alistair Stewart.
Biggar's final league points tally of 613 is currently the highest in the division, with only Kirkcaldy and Hamilton – who each have two games in hand – able to pass this.
Conor Lavery opend the Biggar account after just six minutes, a nice show and go flumoxing the PL defence from close range.
He added the conversion for 7-0.
Andrew Orr was again in the van as a ball carrier and his departure to pastures new – he studies in Stirling and is unable to commit the time to travel so will most likely ply his trade at Stirling County next season – will be a big loss.
Just short of the 20 minute mark and Biggar added a second try as Robbie Lavery and Rowan Stewart combined well on the left flank to create a simple score for the former. The other Lavery was wide with the conversion.
Scrum half Luhann Kotze then burrowed under the PL defence for a fine try, Lavery converting from in front of the posts for 19-0.
Winger Ross Bradford then scored the fourth and bonus point winning try, Lavery converting for 26-0.
Kotze sprinted away for yet another score and Lavery again did the needful with his boot for 33-0 at half-time.
It continued as virtual one way traffic in the second half, with further tries by Calvin Henderson, Scott King (conversion kicked by Guy Hillhouse), Moffat, Robbie Lavery and Rowan Stewart (Bogle converted).
Although Preston scored tries early and late in the second period (one of which was converted), they were well beaten.
At the end of a very exciting league season, Biggar have accumulated a total of 62 points from their 20 matches.
They are currently fifth in the table and have a definite chance of staying there as other teams fulfil their games in hand.

YASUMI TANIGUCHI
MANAGING DIRECTOR, TOKYO, JAPAN / PROTIVITI / CLIENT SERVICE AWARD
Yasumi Taniguchi's path to Protiviti and a Women Leaders in Consulting award is a unique one, for sure. After she graduated from a U.S. college as a Japanese student, she started her career as a U.S. CPA in a large accounting firm. Her role was to support Japanese clients coming to the U.S.
Through helping many Japanese
companies to expand their business in
the U.S. during the mid-to-late 1980s,
she was lucky enough to gain experi-
ence in a wide range of projects, such
as acting as a translator for the nego-
tiations, providing due diligence sup-
port, setting up accounting systems,
setting up policy and procedures.
Taniguchi transferred back to Ja-
pan in 1990 and continued to work on
various projects, but was not a qual-
ified Japanese CPA, and so she was
given special projects within the Jap-
anese accounting firm. From 1992 to
2002, Taniguchi led the development
of internal auditing and risk consult-
ing practices within the Risk Consult-
ing Group of Arthur Andersen Japan.
"This breadth of business expe-
rience made a natural transition for
me to the consulting practice with-
in the accounting firm, Taniguchi
says. "In 2003, I joined consulting
firm Protiviti in order to start up its
Japanese operation."
Today, Taniguchi is a founding
managing director of Protiviti Ja-
pan and leads its Internal Audit and
Financial Advisory practice. Her
current clients include global and
domestic manufacturing, investment
and insurance companies and Japa-
nese Shosha. Taniguchi has led over-
seas U.S. and J-SOX engagements
with Protiviti international offices.
"I enjoy working with the people
around me, both on the client side
and on my team, especially when
I see them enhance their technical
and leadership skills, and I enjoy
their achievements in various proj-
ects," she says. "I enjoy especially
working on international projects
with people from different coun-
tries and cultures."
Taniguchi is well aware that con-
sulting, and Japan are still dominat-
ed by men. She says her greatest
personal achievement is that she
was able to stay this long in the con-
sulting field. "Thanks to my clients
and team who are open-minded and
willing to work with me," she says.
"My greatest professional achieve-
ment has been building a new firm
in Japan as a founding member of
Protiviti Japan."
The Japanese business community
is not necessarily open to newcomers,
but Protiviti was lucky enough to hit
the market at the right time, with the
right knowledge and skills, she says.
"We built a firm with a great Japanese client profile. The experience I had in building Protiviti Japan was priceless. I would never have got it by staying in a large firm," Taniguchi says. And her advice for women just beginning her consulting career? "I would tell her what I heard in the U.S. in the early years of my career, 'Act like a woman, think like a man and work like a dog!'
in Consulting Award
mean to you?
Yasumi Taniguchi says: "I am surprised, honored and humbled. While Protiviti has so many qualified woman leaders in the U.S., the recognition this year was given to a woman in Japan. Japanese women seldom receive an award like this, so I hope that this will encourage more Japanese woman to work and stay in the consulting field. Whereas women occupy 14 percent of executive posts in the United States, they hold only 1 percent of comparable positions in Japan. So I hope this award will encourage all Japanese women who are working toward leadership positions."

Home Book Reviews Who the Hell is Melania Knauss?
Who the Hell is Melania Knauss?
Matt Emanuele
The old adage that opposites attract does not apply in the case of Donald and Melania Trump. In fact, to allude to another well-known adage, two peas in a pod is more to the point. In many instances the two personalities mesh and reinforce each other.
We learn this and much more in this book by Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter Mary Jordan.
The terms prevarication, distortion of the truth, vain, self-centred, isolated and calculating are shared and reverberate in their personalities. This extends even to the point of their signatures, which are strikingly similar.
Melania's calculating personality has allowed her to maintain her marriage to Donald for more years than any of his previous wives managed (they got married in 2005). And she certainly got the most lucrative pre-nup, which will be handy when she decides to walk away.
Social distancing is certainly applicable in their relationship: nothing to do with the virus! She has been seen on several occasions to either reject his hand or pull away from his hand when offered. Furthermore they maintain separate bedrooms and very rarely eat together. The only real thing they share in common is the symbiotic relationship to further their own aims.
One would think their son Barron would be what they share, but not so. Melania, her parents (who live in the White House), and Barron all speak Slovenian, so they can converse without Donald understanding (both Melania and Barron are, as of 2020, Slovenian citizens). Nonetheless, Donald believes that everyone around him has an agenda except his wife. He believes that she just wants him to succeed.
Melania played a big role in choosing Pence as vice president, believing he would be content as the #2 spot and not gun for the top job as other candidates would have done. The fact others see him as anti-gay and anti-abortion was not a major factor.
On her early years, Jordan states Melania began modelling children's clothes at her Mother's factory in Slovenia. People who knew her said she had no trouble cutting people loose who had helped her. She never looked back. Her mother managed her career, which remarkably enough featured a 1993 video on Slovenian TV in which Melania portrayed the first female American president! Her real ambition was to be a bigger star than Sophia Loren, but even by 1998 a reporter who was about to interview her said "Who the hell is Melania Knauss?" This is the now infamous press conference in Paris where she would falsely claim "People all over the world know my name and my work." But "within weeks," writes Jordan, "Melania's name would appear in the New York tabloid's gossip columns; she was identified as the date of Donald Trump."
The book is replete with Melania lies. For example, she claimed to have a degree from the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia. In reality she dropped out of college in her first year, age 19, but the false claim was on her website as recently as 2016. For those of us who earned real degrees, at great expense in time and money, there should be a special place in Hell for anyone who lies about getting a university degree. And how many times have we heard she is fluent in Italian, German and French? Again, a big lie.
And why is it one can scarcely point to anything she has done for the country in nearly 4 years? (Come on, the anti-bullying theme she promoted was one of the grandest farces ever perpetrated on the public. She is married to the most extreme bully on the planet). And of course she worked really hard (actually wearing a hard hat) on the renovation of a tennis pavilion at the White House! The comparisons to Marie Antoinette were made, only Queen Marie really did care about her people. The author quotes Phillip Bloch, who worked on Donald's beauty pageants, that a key reason she is not active as a first lady is that she knows the White House is really the Donald Trump Show.
Considering how closed Melania's life is, the author was able to get a lot of people to talk who would not normally discuss her. Jordan's research, backed up by 281 footnotes, shows she got to the heart of her subject, while others have only glossed over it.
Melania, now 50, is playing the long game. Perhaps the November election will be a game-changer.

Dirty corrupt NYPD detectives and supervisors police reports and Delita Hooks is a vicious crazy violent liar who hasn't been fired so what does that tell you about Dr. Andrew Fagelman? I know one nurse practitioner asked to be transferred out of that office because of Dr. Andrew Fagelman and Delita Hooks.
The NYPD empowered a violent liar so if she harms anyone else they can sue the NYPD the Manhattan DA and if it happens at the doctors that can go after her employer big time.
I am suing internal affairs and two lawsuits including all the original defendants plus the mayor and Bill Bratton because there's more than enough evidence I have without a subpoena that the NYPD Lied police reports, they sealed my attackers false cross-complaint along with their crime coercion.

Criminal Justice Certification in South Dakota
Why Should I Get a Criminal Justice Certificate in South Dakota?
This is an exciting time to become active in the criminal justice industry of South Dakota. As more and more research has come out about issues in the state's criminal justice field, legislators and leaders have taken major steps to strengthen the industry.
Current legislation focuses on expanding crisis intervention team training for criminal justice professionals, increasing education on mental illness, and establishing mental health courts to avoid incarceration when possible (KOTA TV, 2016).
If you've always had an interest in the field of criminal justice, don't wait any longer to check out your career options.

De Norton Model 16-serie is een serie 500cc-motorfietsen die het Britse merk Norton produceerde van 1919 tot 1954. Het Model 16(H) was het zustermodel van het 633cc-Norton Model 1 Big Four. De ontwikkeling liep vrijwel synchroom en ze gingen ook tegelijk uit productie.

Voorgeschiedenis
Norton was al in 1902 begonnen met de productie van motorfietsen. Dat waren nog in licentie gebouwde Clément-modellen. Pas in 1908 begon men zelf motorblokken te maken en kwamen er twee zware modellen: Het Norton Model 1 Big Four, een 4pk-zijspantrekker en het Norton 3½ HP Model, een toermotorfiets. Beiden hadden een eencilinderzijklepmotor. Het 3½ HP Model werd echter ook als racemotor gebruikt, onder meer in de Isle of Man TT en tijdens races op het hogesnelheidscircuit van Brooklands. Zo ontstond het Norton Model 9 TT. In 1913 werd Norton overgenomen door Bob Shelley en diens zwager Dan O'Donovan ontwikkelde de snelle Model 7 BS (Brooklands Special) en Model 8 BRS (Brooklands Road Special). Norton was een van de weinige Britse merken die tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog mochten produceren, want het 3½ HP Model en het Model 1 Big Four werden aan het Russische leger verkocht.

Norton Model 16
In 1919 werden enkele veranderingen doorgevoerd aan de motorfietsen, zoals het vervangen door van de riemaandrijving door kettingaandrijving, maar nieuwe modellen kwamen er nog niet. Ook het Model 16 was niet nieuw. Het was het 3½ HP Model dat een nieuwe naam en kettingaandrijving kreeg. Hoewel het Model 16 niet erg sportief was gebouwd, kreeg het in 1924 (als Model 16H) toch de toevoeging "The Sports Norton". Dat was ook wel logisch omdat toen het Model 2 "Touring Norton" werd en het Model 17C "Colonial Norton".

Motor
De motor was een dwarsgeplaatste, luchtgekoelde staande eencilinderzijklepmotor. De beide kleppen zaten aan de rechterkant van het motorblok. De boring bedroeg 79 mm, de slag 100 mm en de cilinderinhoud 490,2 cc. Er was een B&B-carburateur toegepast en de ontsteking werd verzorgd door een C.A.V.-magneet. Vanaf de oorlog waren magneten van het Britse C.A.V. toegepast omdat de Duitse Bosch-magneten niet meer geleverd konden worden. Verder had de motor nog een handpompje op de tank voor het total loss-smeersysteem.

Transmissie
Het Model 16 kreeg net als alle andere Nortons volledige kettingaandrijving en een handgeschakelde Sturmey-Archer-drieversnellingsbak met kickstarter.

Rijwielgedeelte
Het Model 16 had een open brugframe waarbij het blok een dragend deel vormde. Achtervering was er niet, voor zat een door Druids gebouwde girder-type voorvork. In het voorwiel zat een velgrem, achter een dummy belt rim brake. Op het stuur zat een frictie-stuurdemper.

Norton Model 16H en Model 17C
In 1920 veranderde de naam in Norton Model 16H. Dat kwam omdat Norton nu ook het Model 17C uitbracht. De "C" van Colonial duidde aan dat de machine bestemd was voor de Britse koloniën. Daarom had het meer bodemvrijheid, een steviger voorvork en dikkere banden. De "H" stond voor de thuismarkt (Home). Het Model 17C wordt ook wel beschouwd als een Norton Model 1 Big Four met een 500cc-16H-motorblok. De bodemvrijheid (15 cm) van beide modellen was identiek, maar tot 1926 waren er kleine verschillen in het rijwielgedeelte. In 1927 waren beide frames identiek. Het Model 17C werd geen verkoopsucces, maar in 1927 werden 150 exemplaren geleverd aan het Russische leger. Het Model 17C ging in 1927 uit productie, maar het Model 16H bleef tot 1954. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd de machine wel gemoderniseerd. Ze kreeg een semi-dubbel wiegframe en de door Norton ontwikkelde Roadholder-telescoopvork. In 1954 moesten er echter hoognodig nieuwe wijzigingen komen, met name achtervering in de vorm van een swingarm of tenminste plunjervering. Die kosten maakte Norton niet meer. Naar zijklepmotoren was nauwelijks nog vraag, sinds het verschijnen van de Triumph Speed Twin in 1938 waren paralleltwins met kopklepmotoren de nieuwe mode en Bert Hopwood had daarom de Norton Dominator Model 7 al gebouwd.

Ontwikkelingen

Motor
Met het verschijnen van de zadeltank in 1929 moest ook de total loss-smering vervallen. De olie werd nu opgeslagen in een aparte olietank onder het zadel en er kwam een dry-sumpsysteem. In 1931 werd de (Lucas) ontstekingsmagneet verplaatst naar de achterkant van de cilinder, waardoor het motorblok compacter werd. Modellen met elektrische verlichting kregen een magdyno.

Transmissie
In 1929 kreeg het Model 16H voetschakeling.

Rijwielgedeelte
Rond 1922 schakelde ook Norton over op trommelremmen in het voorwiel, maar achter werden de belt rim brakes pas in 1926 vervangen. In 1927 werd de voorvork robuuster en kwamen er ook grotere trommelremmen. In 1929 werd de 10-liter flattank vervangen door een zadeltank met een inhoud van 12,5 liter en na de oorlog werd dat 15,9 liter.

Norton Model 16H BS
Het Norton Model 16H BS was de opvolger van het Model 7 BS. Dat was uit het Norton 3½ HP Model ontwikkeld door Dan O'Donovan. Hij was de zwager van Norton-eigenaar Bob Shelley, maar ook lid van de raad van bestuur, amateur-coureur en zeer verdienstelijk tuner. Dat leverde hem zelfs de bijnaam "Wizard" op. Hij was ook de uitvinder van de productieracer. Vanaf 1914 tunede hij een aantal 3½ HP-blokken, die in kratten naar het circuit van Brooklands werden vervoerd. Daar werden ze in het "Old Miracle"-frame gemonteerd. Dan werden ze 20 ronden lang ingereden. Daarna werden ze grondig geïnspecteerd: de kleptiming, de ontsteking, de zuigers, de lagers enz. werden gecontroleerd. Daarna reed O'Donovan een aantal getimede ronden met de machines. Als ze 70 mijl per uur haalden kregen ze een certificaat met de aanduiding "Brooklands Special". Als ze 65 mijl per uur haalden werd er "Brooklands Road Special" vermeld. Zo ontstonden het Norton Model 7 BS en het Norton Model 8 BRS. De BS werd de eerste productieracer ter wereld in was meestal voorzien van een Binks-carburateur, de BRS (als clubmanracer verkocht) soms ook, maar daarbij werden ook carburateurs van andere fabrikanten (Brown & Barlow en Amac) gebruikt. Het Model 16H BS was dus een Model 7 BS met kettingaandrijving, maar het werd alleen in 1921 geproduceerd. In 1922 verscheen het Norton Model 18 met kopklepmotor, dat uiteraard veel sterker en sneller was. Het Model 16H BS werd overbodig.

Norton Model 2
Het Norton Model 2 werd van 1921 tot 1927 geproduceerd. Het was in feite een Model 16H met een meer toeristisch stuur en voetplanken. Daardoor kon het als toermotor verkocht worden, terwijl het Model 16H als sportmotor werd verkocht met een lager stuur een voetsteunen.

Norton WD 16H
De ontwikkeling van de militaire motorfiets Norton WD 16 H begon al in 1935. De letters "WD" stonden voor: "War Department". Gedurende de jaren waren er altijd minimale verschillen met de civiele versie, van verschillende maten sturen, afdekplaatjes van de kleppen, handvatten etc. De meest kenmerkende verschillen waren het kastje voor het boordgereedschap, waarvan het deksel bij de militaire machine in het grotere kastje viel en het grote rek achterop voor het plaatsen van de canvas tassen. Hoewel de meeste machines olijfgroen waren gespoten, waren ook hier kleine kleurverschillen per productie jaar, maar ook grote afwijkingen. Machines voor de Royal Air Force waren blauw en machines voor het Midden-Oosten en woestijngebieden kaki of zandkleurig. Verder was de WD 16H voorzien van volledige kettingaandrijving met een gesloten kettingkast voor de primaire aandrijving en voorzien van oorlogsverlichting.

Singapore Airlines Announces New World's Longest Nonstop Flight
Longest nonstop flight ready to take off
Natalie Dreier, Cox Media Group National Content Desk
What's the longest nonstop flight you've been on? Maybe a five-hour trip between Los Angeles and Hawaii? Or maybe it's a flight between New York and London that's more than 7 hours.
Whatever the time is, the trips have nothing on Singapore's newest flight.
Thanks to the Airbus A350-900ULR that's being produced, the airline is planning on offering a nonstop flight between New York and Singapore that will last nearly 20 hours in the air, CNN reported.
The ultra long-range plane had its first test flight Monday with a nearly five-hour round-trip from an assembly plant in Toulouse, France.
Singapore Airlines ordered seven of the new planes that replace the A340-500 that the airlines grounded in 2013, CNN reported.
The plane offers high ceilings and LED lighting and promises low noise level, CNN reported.

Home News ZTE MWC 2019: ZTE Announces Axon 10 Pro 5G Smartphone and the Blade V10
MWC 2019: ZTE Announces Axon 10 Pro 5G Smartphone and the Blade V10
in News ZTE by Collins Eze on February 25, 2019
The wait for 5G Smartphone is over. Early before now we listed some devices we expected to be launched with 5G connectivity and with omitted ZTE. Now, just like the big guys, ZTE isn't missing on the 5G action. The company announced two new phones at the Mobile Week Conference (MWC) 2019 and one of the flagship device called Axon 10 Pro 5G coming with 5G connectivity support.
These first 5G smartphone coming from the Chinese tech giant is packed with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 mobile platform, a Snapdragon X50 5G modem, and an artificial intelligence (AI) engine that automatically adjusts CPU, GPU, RAM, and ROM using AI algorithms.
ZTE has partnered with China Telecom, Hutchinson Drei, and Elisa carriers to ensure a global release within the first half of this year.
In addition to the powerful SoC, the Axon 10 Pro 5G also boasts a 6.47-inch AMOLED display with 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution. There's also a fingerprint reader at the back of the device. The chipset includes 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
Also, the AI capabilities are used across the triple camera for motion capture, scene recognition, portrait lighting adjustment, and for learning user behavior. The camera adopts the popular 48MP sensor with f/1.8 and pixel-binning technology. The second camera is an ultra wide-angle one with 20MP sensor and 125° field of view. The third one is telephoto with 8MP sensor whereas the front uses a 20MP unit.
The Axon 10 Pro also implements a fully self-developed, full-band antenna design to achieve full coverage of 2G/3G/4G/5G and effectively. The device is powered by a 4,000 mAh battery and runs on the latest Android 9.0 Pie out of the box. From the look of the impressive specs sheet, we don't expect the device to be cheap.
ZTE Blade V10
ZTE also announced its new Blade V10 and V10 Vita smartphones, which will launch across China, Europe, and Latin America. On the other hand, some essential specifications are missing in the Blade V10, it carries a 6.3-inch FHD+ (1080 x 2280) display with a small notch on the top housing a 32MP sensor.
The Blade V10 runs on an octa-core 2.1GHz platform and the chip is yet to be revealed says ZTE and it is aided by 3GB/4GB of RAM with 32GB/64GB of internal storage. The back houses the fingerprint reader along with a dual-camera setup that consists of a 16MP sensor and a 5MP one for depth sensing.
The battery here is lower than the Axon 10 Pro, powered with A 3,100 mAh battery powers it all that charges over USB-C. The price is currently unknown and the device is available in black, blue and green colors.

Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In
Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In was one of TV's classics, one of those rare programmes which was not only an overnight sensation, but was highly innovative, created a raft of new stars, and started trends in comedy which other programmes would follow.
Hosted "from beautiful downtown Burbank" by nightclub comedians Dan Rowan (the straight-man) and Dick Martin, this wacky series provided a contemporary, fast-paced, unstructured comedy that was exactly what an agitated America wanted in 1968.
Laugh-In was first seen as a one-time special on 9 September 1967. It was such a hit that it inevitably led to a series.
Its lightning-fast pace took full advantage of the technical capabilities of television and videotape.
Blackouts, sketches, one-liners, and cameo appearances by famous celebrities and even national politicians were all edited into a frenetic whole.
The regular cast was large and the turnover high, and of the 40 regulars only four were in it from beginning to end, the two hosts, announcer Gary Owens, and Ruth Buzzi.
The show built up a devoted following, eager for such catchphrases as "Verrry interestink . . . but stupid", "Is that a chicken joke?", "Here come de judge" and "Sock it to me".
Judy Carne was the "Sock it to me" girl, and other regulars included Arte Johnson as the German Soldier, peering out from behind a potted palm; Ruth Buzzi as the little old lady with an umbrella, forever whacking the equally decrepit old man who snuggled up beside her on a park bench, and Lily Tomlin as both the sarcastic, nasal telephone operator named Ernestine (pictured at right) and Edith Anne, a child philosopher whose catchphrase was "and that's the truth".
Gary Owens was the outrageously over modulated announcer, facing the microphone, hand cupped over his ear; Alan Sues was the grinning moron of a sports announcer, and Goldie Hawn the eternally giggling dumb blonde.
Hawn's dumb blonde image on Laugh-In came about unintentionally. She says; "When I first started, I was so nervous that I would look at the cue cards and get all mixed up. The producer loved it and said to keep it that way".
Laugh-In carried jokes about subjects like drugs, death, and homosexuality – pretty daring for 1968, particularly for Americans.
Nevertheless, the show attracted star guests like John Wayne and even presidential candidate Richard Nixon. Nixon went on during the 1968 election campaign just to say "sock it to me".
The producers offered the same opportunity to his opponent Hubert Humphrey, but he declined. In the event, Nixon won the election by only a million votes. Dick Martin admits; "A lot of people have accused us".
Some of the devices of the show were the Cocktail Party, Letters to Laugh-In, The Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award, 'Laugh-In Looks at the News', the gags written on the undulating body of a girl in a bikini, and the joke wall at the close of each show, in which cast members kept popping out of windows to throw each other one-liners – or a bucket of water.
Not until Saturday Night Live would another television variety show ensemble leave such a firm imprint on the evolution of American comedy.
The theme tune to the show was called Inquisitive Tango.
Alan Sues died of cardiac arrest in December 2011 at the age of 85.

Meet Sitka Salmon Shares, IWFM Sponsor
Nic Mink launched Sitka Salmon Shares to connect with consumers in the Midwest with sustainable seafood options. In August, 2012 Nic was hired by Butler University's Center for Urban Ecology to help establish the Indy Food Council, designed to support food-related initiatives that improve the sustainability, health, and community revitalization in Indianapolis. We had a chance to chat with Nic about healthy salmon, ecologically-sensitive fishermen, and the challenges involved in introducing ocean-to-plate fish to a land-locked city in the Midwest.
How did Sitka get started?
I was working for the Sitka Conservation Society in Sitka, Alaska, a few years ago, and we were trying to figure out how to get citizens in other parts of the country involved in the protection of Alaska's Tongass National Forest. The Tongass is the nation's largest national forest, by far. It's also the world's great salmon producing forest. The forest supports about 30% of Alaska's commercial salmon production. The health of wild salmon depend on the health of the forest, and, of course, the Tongass is public land, belonging to everybody–you, me, and everyone here in Indiana and the Midwest.
So, we began working on ways to communicate messages about the Tongass through the sustainably-harvested salmon that the forest rears. There were discussions, at first, about developing a line of canned salmon. We decided we wanted a higher value product, and Sitka doesn't really have much of a canning industry anyway–just about everything leaves fresh or frozen. After we departed from the canned idea, I think our first real business plan was called "Tongass Salmon in your CSA," and the goal was to get Midwestern CSAs to offer wild salmon supplements to their members (We do have a few CSAs that still do this.) In the final stages of development, we decided it would be easier to deliver the salmon direct to consumers ourselves. We called ourselves Sitka Salmon Shares and began setting up infrastructure in the Midwest. We also began working directly with a few fishermen and Seafood Producers Cooperative, a quality and sustainability-oriented fishermen's coop in Sitka to source our fish. We knew the conservation message was important, we knew sustainability was important, but we knew that if the quality wasn't there, all of those benefits would be lost. Even today, we continue to work very closely with conservation organizations in Alaska: the Sitka Conservation Society actually supports one of our positions–a wild salmon community organizer–and, our CSF members support a Sitka Conservation Society intern. It's a complete circle, I guess.
What are the logistics involved in getting fish to a land-locked area like Indianapolis? How do you keep it fresh?
We like to bring as much salmon as possible in via barge and truck. It's cheaper and it's better on our carbon balance sheet (we pay to offset all our Alaska transportation carbon anyway). All of our fish is blast-frozen to 40 below once on shore, so, the trick is keeping that fish below zero during the transportation. That's actually not a problem. The cold chain that underwrites our current food system is just incredible. From the perspective of fresh v. frozen, 99 times out of 100 I'd take a blast frozen fish over a "fresh" fish in the Midwest. The blast frozen product is much "fresher." Going the barge/truck option takes about 15 days. Logistically, that's not feasible sometimes, so then the fish goes on Alaska Air Cargo. It flies, usually, from Sitka to Juneau to Anchorage, and then to Chicago on the red eye. It gets picked up by a refrigerated truck. Everything, regardless, goes to our cold storage facility in Galesburg, Illinois, where it's sorted into shares and the shipped out on dry ice to the rest of the Midwest.
Growing Places, like many urban farms, operates a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)– does a Community Supported Fishery work in the same way?
The CSF is very similar to the Growing Places Indy CSA. Instead of dealing with an impersonal system, we let people have a personal connection with the producers of their food, only its our fishermen, not farmers. Members know who caught their fish, how it was caught, where it was caught–being as transparent as possible is a core value of ours. Like the CSF, we also deliver a share of the harvest of our salmon fishermen and, just as important, we capture much more of the retail value of the harvest for our fishermen. Our fishermen also fish in the most ecologically sensitive ways possible–with hook and line and small gillnet. This minimizes the larger ecological disruptions that less discriminate forms of fishing cause. I know the Growing Places Indy CSA puts ecological principles at the forefront of its operations.
We are different in a few key ways, though. We guarantee product for our members, no matter what. If you buy a share of our salmon, you'll get 15 pounds of fish–5 pounds of king, 5 pounds of coho, and 5 pounds of sockeye. It's salmon for your family all summer to compliment those awesome veggies. Depending on fishing conditions, though, sometimes we have to move around deliveries in order to do this. Like our friends at Green BEAN Delivery, we also home deliver. Finally, the scale is a little different than Growing Places Indy. Even our smallest fisherman catches enough fish to feed several hundred families for an entire year. We want to be in a place soon where we can take everything that our fishermen catch all season. That's better for us and it's better for our fishermen. So, we have to grow.
How is Sitka's product better?
First, we realize that no system's perfect, but we're always striving to improve, to perfect.
For us, we look at the line from production to consumption and think systemically about how we can make improvements to the current system. We think that putting more money back into the pockets of small boat fishermen is a huge improvement; we think offsetting all our carbon during transport is another biggie; we think our 1% to the Wild program, where we return 1% of all our revenue back to the marine and salmon conversation, is better; we think our new Salmon Give Back Initiative, where we make strategic investments in other local and sustainable food projects in the Midwest, is also a nice improvement.
As far as the product goes, we ask our fishermen to have all their fish bled, gutted, gilled, and packed on ice with 20 minutes of being landed. Fish spoil 4 times as fast at 40 degrees than they do at 32; it's also the blood and insides of the fish that causes decomposition. So, the idea is to get that fish cleaned and cold as fast as possible. As one of our fishermen likes to say, it's not how long it takes the fish to get from ocean to plate that makes the difference in quality; it's what the fishermen does within the first 20 minutes of that fish being caught that makes the difference in quality. We also ask that all of our fishermen be "On Shore in Four," meaning that from the moment that first fish is caught, they're back at the dock in four days. Most hook-and-line salmon fishermen go on five day trips. Technically, you have 8 days before you see a decline in quality. This just gives us a little added assurance.
What are the biggest challenges in educating a new market on why your product is better- both in quality and sustainability?
Education is an on-going thing, and always will be. Most Midwestern consumers know very little about oceans, fish, and fishing, even though, however odd it might seem, their lives are bound intimately to them. I'm a professor by day, so my first inclination is to go into wandering and complex explanations. I'm getting better at simplifying and distilling so that the message comes across to people. The problem is that these concepts–quality and sustainability–are incredibly complex! In simplifying, you lose important truths that need to be conveyed. Sometimes I feel like it's a lose-lose situation.
What we've begun to start doing–and this has been effective–is taking the market on its own terms, at its own knowledge base, and building out from there. Wisconsinites, for instance, know that Dan and Deb Carey at New Glarus Brewing Company make the highest-quality beer; Indianapolis residents know that Goose the Market makes the highest-quality bacon the world has ever known; Indianapolis residents also know that Mark and Josh at Fermenti Artisan are guided by sustainability and quality standards that are hard to match. Once we make those connections, we the let them know that the same principles that go into being a craft fermenter, a craft butcher, and a craft brewer can be applied to fish and fishing–care, intimate knowledge of the food that's being produced, years of experience. People get the difference between artisan production and mass production, and it's about making that connection.
How have you been received here? Next steps for Sitka?
Things have gone wonderfully in Indianapolis. The media has been great. CSF sign ups have been brisk, proving that people are hungry for good, fair fish. Nowadays, everyone wants–and I'd even say needs–a personal connection to their food. We love this type of transparency and accountability between consumer and producer, and it's clear that Indy is that type of scene. In the next month, people will begin to see Sitka salmon at some of the city's–the Midwest's–best restaurants. Our long term vision is to see a Midwest where people have access to fish they can trust; a Midwest that understands the value of supporting small boat fishing families and sustainably managed wild fisheries; and a Midwest that actively supports fishing families who'd rather fish as artisans, not cogs in a machine. We're working on that.

Born Onto a Benefit
By Lindsay Mitchell
A huge amount is said about child poverty, but bugger all about what causes it.
By the end of last year 13, 634 of the babies born in the previous 12 months had a parent or caregiver relying on a benefit. Data supplied under the Official information Act reveals that 48 percent of these caregivers were Maori. Assuming the ethnicity of dependent children generally matches the ethnicity of their caregivers, 37 percent of all Maori children born in 2011 were on welfare by the end of the same year. The corresponding figure for non-Maori was less than half at 16 percent.
Most of these babies are born directly onto a benefit – usually the domestic purposes benefit. Some are first births. It's not unusual for their mothers to initially be dependent on either the sickness benefit for pregnancy or the dole, then transfer to the DPB with the newborn in tow. But according to a Cabinet Paper publicly released last year, in 2010 4,800 births were second (or subsequent) children being added to an existing DPB. This happens most commonly in Whangarei, Whakatane, Rotorua, Kawerau and Wairoa, and the rate at which children are added has also been increasing.
The high rate of NZ children born onto welfare gives rise to numerous health and social problems down the line, not least abuse and neglect. We now know thanks to a recent Auckland University study that 83 percent of substantiated child abuse and neglect cases concern children who appear in the benefit system before the age of two.
There is an especial problem with Maori children. Not only are they more likely to be born onto a benefit, but they are more likely to have a very young mother who will have difficulty raising her child away from the sort of environmental risks that result in teenage parenthood in the first place; a dysfunctional family life, alcohol and drug abuse, family violence, transience, and crime. A strong correlation exists between the over-representation of Maori children on welfare and their marked predominance in many other negative statistics surrounding poor health and low educational achievement. Being born onto a benefit does not set them up for life.
Some of these children are going to be a cost to society for their entire lives. There isn't any equivalent NZ research but American studies into the backgrounds of prison inmates find many had very young mothers, were raised on welfare, or in foster care or other state institutions. That the NZ prison population is half Maori is almost certainly associated with the very high Maori rate of teenage birth; almost four times higher than non-Maori. Sadly, it isn't just the first-born children whose lives are affected, but those who follow as well.
Back in 2006 New Zealand Medical Association deputy chairman Don Simmers told a conference that too many women were contemplating pregnancy on a benefit. It's taken a long time – too long – but the government has now officially recognised the problem.
Minister for Social Development Paula Bennett believes that work has both social and economic benefits for parents and their children. Last month new rules were introduced to require people on the DPB with a youngest child aged 5 or older to look for and be available for part-time work. The Minister understands however that some mothers will try to avoid this new rule by having another baby. As a consequence, she says, "Sole parents who have another child while on a benefit will be exempt for [only] one year, in line with parental leave, before work obligations resume."
Unfortunately, this measure alone leaves loopholes. Cabinet illustrates the lengths some will go to when identifying children, "who are moved between households to avoid work expectations." There is currently no rule that prevents a parent from going off the benefit for a short period, having another baby, and returning with the clock starting afresh. This situation could have been avoided by adopting the US approach which simply time-limits the benefit. Federal law permits a maximum of 60 months over a lifetime of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (though individual states can deviate using their own funds). That regime unequivocally puts the responsibility firmly on the parent to limit their family size without totally dumping a safety net.
The other unthinkable work-dodge would be to produce a child annually. Ironically this outcome would be the exact opposite of what the government is trying to achieve. Again time-limiting the amount of welfare available would remove any incentive to go down this track.
Some favour capping the amount of money available to subsequent children born onto a benefit. Paula Rebstock's Welfare Working Group considered this option but was persuaded by the Ministry of Social Development that adverse affects on the child or children might outweigh any favourable effect on child-bearing patterns amongst beneficiaries.
Beneficiary advocates have reacted to Paula Bennett's new rule with hostility. Auckland Action Against Poverty spokesperson Sue Bradford says, "We believe that women in this country have the right to control their own reproduction." This encapsulates the conflict between the so-called rights of women and the rights of children. Knowingly bringing a child into the world with no ability to raise him independently or adequately is hard to justify at any level.
The Norm Kirk government of 1973 which bowed to pressure to provide statutory assistance for mothers who'd lost the support of a partner, would have been aghast if afforded a glimpse of a future in which supposedly single woman were allowed, and even encouraged by some, to breed on a benefit. Twenty two percent of all babies born in 2011 were on welfare by Xmas. But even pre-recession, when NZ briefly enjoyed the lowest unemployment rate in the world during 2007, the percentage only dropped to eighteen. Having babies on a benefit is part of the NZ culture. That's what's primarily driving this country's child poverty scandal. In a word, irresponsibility; irresponsibility of the people who produce the kids, but arguably worse, irresponsibility of the society that sanctions it.

Andbank (Bahamas) Ltd has announced a new executive team in its local office.
Manel Martinez has been appointed chief executive officer at the bank and steps into the new role after more than two decades with the global financial institution.
"I am delighted to take up this new role as I have fully enjoyed the career that I've been able to have here in The Bahamas," says Martinez, who has worked in the Nassau office since 2006.
"I look forward to further developing our business in this jurisdiction because of the great opportunities available here."
"Andbank remains committed to The Bahamas; the local subsidiary was the first to be established outside its Andorran headquarters. Our priority is to expand our operations here because this country has one of the most developed financial services offerings in the Caribbean, with excellent infrastructure as well as talented and skilled professionals."
The new appointments include deputy managing directors George Maillis (pictured, left side) and Amand Martin (right side), who will also serve as co-heads of private banking.
"I think this is a strategic business location and bodes well for the bank's vision of continued expansion, both local and international," says Martin. "The role we share as private banking heads is a pretty good combination and we look forward to the future growth of the Nassau office as we target Latin America, and new market such as Asia."

Q: Inherit multiple querysets in Django? Is it acceptable to inherit multiple QuerySet classes ?
Simple question, but didn't find much info on google.. :(
I'd like to inherit django-model-utils's InheritanceQuerySet and my custom mixins(which subclassed django's model.QuerySet)
-- EDIT --
Suppose InheritanceQuerySet has _clone() method.
Down the road, I may need to inherit OtherQuerySet which also has _clone() method.
_clone() copies something specific to the class and calls super._clone()
I worried if first *_clone()* would hide the second *_clone()* in MRO and affect the functionality.
(But I guess since _clone() calls the super, I don't need to worry about 'hiding', writing out sometimes solves the problem.)
Then, I was worried because 'queryset multiple inheritance' doesn't yield many google results although I think it's really good way to add functionality to manager.
(I'm thinking to make a queryset which inherits multiple queryset related mixin which has object as base, or models.QuerySet as base.
Then I can use PassThroughManager or alike(from_queryset from django 1.7) to use the all-the-powerful queryset)

On the fifth day of the same month Muharram, 4 A.H., it was reported that Khalid bin Sufyan Al-Hudhali was gathering some mob to raid the Muslim positions. 'Abdullah bin Unais, at the behest of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) set out to destroy the enemies.
The Muslim military leader stayed away for eighteen days during which he successfully fulfilled his task, killed the head of the rebels and brought his head back to Madinah on Saturday, seven days before the end of Muharram. The Prophet (Peace be upon him), as a reward, gave him a stick saying "This will function as a sign of recognition for you and me on the Day of Resurrection." On his death bed, 'Abdullah requested that the log be with him in his shroud.

Q: why my checkboxes arent generated? i have the following controller that calls view with template that generates a set of checkboxes
The controller / Action
    public class CompoundsController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /Compounds/
        testdbDBContext db = new testdbDBContext();

        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            var comps = db.Compounds.Select(e => new CompoundModel { Id=e.Id, Code=e.Code, Name=e.Name, IsSelected = e.IsSelected }).ToList();

            return View(new ChemicalsVM { cModel = comps});
        }
}

The view
@model mvca1.Models.ChemicalsVM

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

Index

@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)

    <fieldset>
        <legend>ChemicalsVM</legend>

            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.SName)

            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.SName)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.SName)

            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.DName)

            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.DName)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.DName)

            @Html.Label("Chemicals")

            @Html.EditorFor(x=>x.cModel)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.cModel)

            <input type="submit" value="Create" />

    </fieldset>
}

    @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")

@section Scripts {
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}

the template is:
@model mvca1.Models.CompoundModel

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "rmplCompoundDB";
}

@Html.HiddenFor(x=>x.Id)
@Html.HiddenFor(x=>x.Code)
@Html.CheckBoxFor(x=>x.IsSelected, (Model.IsSelected)? new {@checked="checked"}:null)
@Html.LabelFor(x=>x.Name)

when i ran the code instead of generating checkboxes with labels it displays the id numbers (that should be hidden)
here is the video of what happens https://youtu.be/1Z2fwfBgyn8
why it does not display the checkboxes as expected?
UPDATE:
here is my ChemicalsVM
   public class ChemicalsVM
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string SName { get; set; }
        public string DName { get; set; }

        public List<CompoundModel> cModel { get; set; }

        public ChemicalsVM()
        {
            cModel = new List<CompoundModel>();
        }

    }

here is the CompoundModel class
 public class CompoundModel
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Code { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public bool IsSelected { get; set; }
    }

A: The html being rendered means the ViewEngine is not finding the EditorTemplate. The template must be named the same as the class (i.e. CompoundModel.cshtml) and be located in either the /Views/Shared/EditorTemplates or /Views/Compounds/EditorTemplates folders.
