Retired Judge Serving in Mexico Judicial Exchange Program
Retired Los Angeles Superior Court Jaime Corral has been selected to serve in a newly created position with the National Center for State Courts.
Corral, who has been sitting on assignment since his retirement two years ago, is currently serving as chief of party for the Mexico Judicial Exchange Program in Mexico City.
Last week Corral began directing a Rule of Law Project designed to improve the Mexican justice system with a focus on judicial education and court administration.
The project looks to increase public confidence and improve the international image of the Mexican judiciary.
"I am extremely excited and feel deeply honored to have been selected to serve in this very important capacity," Corral, a Mexican native, said in a statement. "I now have an opportunity to help in [Mexico's] resolve to be a fully democratic society."
Three years ago Corral, a 16-year judicial veteran, participated in a California Judicial Council judicial delegation to a Mexican judges conference.
In addition to his international judiciary work, Corral started the first Teen Court in Los Angeles County in 1993 and the program has spread to numerous schools in Los Angeles and other counties. He also headed a fund-raising campaign for a new library in Whittier, and he is the co-founder of a political involvement organization called the Mexican American Action Committee.
Corral has a one year commitment with the National Center, but court officials expect him to sit on assignment when he returns to the U.S.

The Harder They Come is a 1972 Jamaican crime film directed by Perry Henzell and co-written by Trevor D. Rhone, and starring Jimmy Cliff. The film is most famous for its reggae soundtrack that is said to have "brought reggae to the world".
Ivanhoe "Ivan" Martin is a poor Jamaican man in search of a job. He leaves his rural home after his grandmother dies to live with his impoverished mother in Kingston. He meets Jose, who takes him to see Django, a Spaghetti Western. Excited by urban life, he tries to get work but fails. He finally gets a job with a preacher, he also takes a broken bicycle frame and rebuit it into a working bicycle, and uses it to run errands for a record producer. He gets into trouble with the preacher after he used his church for secular songs. After being fired by preacher he returned to the house to collect his bicycle, that preacher had now officially given to Ivan's colleague, the two fight after he refuses to give Ivan the cycle; Ivan slashes him with a knife, a crime for which he is sentenced to a whipping.
Ivan interests the record producer in a song he writes and performs, "The Harder They Come", but he only gets $20 for it. He dreams of stardom, but the stranglehold the producer has on the music industry condemns Ivan to work for a pittance. Eventually Jose offers him an opportunity dealing marijuana, moving the drug from the country to the city on a motorbike. When Ivan complains about the pay and conditions, Jose informs on him to the police. On his next trip, when a policeman tries to flag Ivan to stop, he panics and shoots the officer.
Next, Ivan meets a woman in a hotel. While he is in bed with her, the police surround the room and try to capture him. He shoots his way out, killing three officers. On the run, he returns to shoot and wound the girl he slept with, believing she and Jose betrayed him. He then finds Jose and pursues him, shooting at him, but Jose escapes.
Ivan returns to the countryside, but the police catch up with him, leading to another shootout and escape. Ivan seeks support from his drug-dealer friends, who help him hide out. The policeman leading the search cracks down on the drug trade, telling the dealers he will not relax the pressure until they give Ivan up. Meanwhile, the record producer re-releases Ivan's song, which rapidly becomes a hit because of Ivan's notoriety. Enamoured of his new fame, Ivan has photographs of himself made holding two guns in gangster poses, and he sends them to the press. He also steals a flashy car and drives it around a golf course.
One dealer friend advises Ivan to escape to Cuba. Seeing the ship he hoped to escape on leaving, Ivan swims out towards the speeding vessel. However, he cannot grab onto the ladder dangling off the side, and he opens his eyes to find himself beached ashore.
Ivan sleeps in the shade of a tree then awakens, alerted to the presence of policemen with rifles. He exchanges shots with the police while imagining himself being watched by an excited, applauding audience, just like the one he had watched Django with. Out of bullets, he comes out and challenges the police to draw. The police shoot him many times, and he drops. The film ends abruptly, cutting to a shot of a woman's torso gyrating to the sound of Ivan's song over the credits.
The film stars reggae singer Jimmy Cliff, who plays Ivanhoe Martin, a character based upon a real-life Jamaican criminal of that name, better known as Rhyging, who achieved fame in the 1940s. Prior to filming, the project had a working title of Rhygin. This then changed to Hard Road to Travel before finally being changed to The Harder They Come, prompting Cliff to write the song of the same name. The story very loosely follows the real Martin/Rhyging's life updated to the 1970s, though the historical Rhyging was not a musician or drug dealer.
The film was a sensation in Jamaica due to its naturalistic portrayal of black Jamaicans in real locations and its use of Jamaican Patois, the local creole. According to Henzell, "Black people seeing themselves on the screen for the first time created an unbelievable audience reaction".
The soundtrack to the film is considered a breakthrough for reggae in the United States.
The film received positive reviews from critics. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an 89% score based on 28 reviews, with an average rating of 7.2/10. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 2 1/2 stars out of 4, writing that the "movie's ending is an exercise in plot; its beginning and its music deserve better than that". The staff of Variety magazine wrote that the film "has a sharp and racy rhythm, in keeping with the synchopated music of the isle, plus an underlying social theme in the guise of a familiar tale".
In 1980, Jamaican-American author Michael Thelwell published a novel based on the film, using the same title. Thelwell inserted many Jamaican proverbs into the novel that were unused in the film.
In 2006, Prassad Corporation digitally restored the film, frame by frame, to remove dirt, tears, scratches, and other artifacts and recapture its original look. Prasad cleaned 14,000 frames.
In 2005, The Harder They Come was adapted into a stage musical by the Theatre Royal Stratford East and UK Arts International in the UK, with a script overseen by Henzell. The show opened on 25 March 2006, boasting the original soundtrack as well as a couple of additions, including "The Ganja Song", written by Geraldine Connor, featuring Rolan Bell as Ivan. The production later moved to the Playhouse Theatre, and was performed in Toronto and Miami.
A remake has been planned, with a screenplay written by Chris Salewicz. The remake is a joint venture between Henzell's daughter Justine, Xingu Films, and Conquering Lion Pictures. Filming is due to begin in 2013. In March 2015, it was announced that Cliff would reprise his role as Ivanhoe Martin.
The Chase & Status track "Hitz" from the 2011 album No More Idols samples a line from the film, as well as the track "Sunday Dub" on the Tino Corp. release "Tino's Breaks Volume 5 (Dub)".
The film is referenced in a line of The Clash's song "The Guns of Brixton" from the London Calling album (1979). Jimmy Cliff recorded a cover version of this song in 2011 and in his 2012 comeback album, Rebirth.

(ST. JOHN'S, NL) UNB's Justine Comeau rink is 2-and-0 after the first two draws at the Subway Atlantic University Sport Curling Championships, taking place at the Remax Centre/St. John's Curling Club.
Comeau's foursome scored an 8-4 win over Saint Mary's in Thursday's opening draw, and then beat St FX 8-5 in the day's second draw.
Not bad for a team that left Fredericton very early on Thursday.
"We left at 4:30 in the morning, so that was early. Being here and playing the evening draw, after a good game this afternoon, while all being extremely tired, I'm happy we were able to get through this," said Comeau.
"We get to go back and get some sleep, some rest. Hopefully, we can build on what we learned today and we won't be as tired. Hopefully, that will be to our advantage."
The Comeau rink faces the host Memorial Sea-Hawks in Friday's first draw, at 9:30am Atlantic, before taking on Mount Allison in the evening draw, at 6:30pm Atlantic.
"Our draw weight has been good so far, and that's exciting and promising, because when it's off, it's frustrating," said Comeau. "I feel really confident that shots can be made or be close to being made, so that's definitely what's helped us do well."
On the men's side, UNB suffered an 8-4 loss to Saint Mary's in their only game on day one.
"We fell flat," said Reds skip Jack Smeltzer. "We were playing a pretty complicated strategy for how well we knew the ice, which was not very well at all."
"We just missed a few chances," he said.
The Reds face Dalhousie this morning before taking on host Memorial in Friday's evening draw.
Smeltzer is confident the team can rebound.
"We know we can play better, know we can call a game better," he said. "I think we were missing misses that we don't usually miss, so I don't think it's a setback. Maybe it's stronger motivation to pull up our socks."

Inside The Watts Family Feud With Chris' Parents Before He Committed The Murders
Source: Weld County DA
By:Wendy Hermanson
Convicted murderer Chris Watts has revealed points of contention within his marriage prior to the killing of his late wife, Shanann, and their two young daughters, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3.
Speaking from his Wisconsin prison cell, Watts admitted that Shanann had been estranged from his parents at the time of her murder, allegedly thinking that they were deliberately intending to do harm to their grandchildren — and, what's more, his parents were equally distraught over their son's relationship with a woman they thought was abusive and not good enough for him.
OK! has learned that, according to Watts, Shanann had come to believe that her mother-in-law, Cindy Watts, wanted to harm their younger daughter, Celeste — or at the very least, was not being properly cautious of her health issues. The child, who had a nut allergy, was allegedly served ice cream with peanut chips by her grandmother one summer night, resulting in a furious text from Shanann to Chris accusing his mother of being reckless with the little girl's life for the sole purpose of upsetting Shanann.
AMERICAN MURDER STORY: 11 TRUE CRIME SCANDALS THAT SHOCKED THE NATION
"You should call your dad and tell him you did not appreciate your mom putting your daughter at risk today," she fumed. "She's evil and willing to risk your daughter's life just to get under my skin. You and your dad are no different if you are ok with her behavior. There's nothing wrong with me and l'm not crazy. I just love my kids way too much."
Watts attempted to placate his wife by saying he would text his father about the matter, writing back to Shanann: "l will call him and tell him what I think about this. lt's not f**king cool at all because it is the kids. I will set this right."
However, matters only got worse. His parents subsequently blocked Shanann on Facebook, causing her to rant that they had cut her and the children off, and a few days later they opted not to attend a party for or even reach out to Celeste on her birthday.
CLOSE CALLS: THESE STARS CHEATED DEATH — OK! LOOKS BACK AT THEIR EPIC TALES OF SURVIVAL
"Truth came out last night," wrote Shanann in text messages obtained by OK!. "l didn't create no dagger between you and your dad. That was done by your mom and your dad. And I won't change a thing. My daughters life is way more important and you better believe I wanted to say a whole lot more than I did. But I was being the bigger person and protecting Bella.
"I didn't tell your dad not to come to party. l didn't tell him not to text, or call your daughter or sic her birthday, I didn't tell him to start acting like he only has two grandkids instead of 4. I didn't block your family on Facebook, he did. Myself and your kids have nothing to say to them. They do."
The situation was quickly dialed up, as Shanann wrote: "They owe your kids their life. Your parent's home isn't a safe zone. Your mom isn't safe! You can let them tell you what you want, but I didn't tell anyone to stop loving your kids or stop acting like it. He did that not me. You can believe I created this dagger but I didn't do that. I stood up for our kids I advocated and protected our children. I don't ever want to hear l'm sorry I killed your kid because I was stupid. That would kill me.
"These kids are my world and I have to protect them from the evil of the world. I shouldn't have to protect them from evil family. Our kids deserve the same love and attention the other kids get. Nothing less. I'm not accepting l'm sorry from your mom. Bc she doesn't mean it and she knew what she was doing. I made it very clear not to eat it around Celeste Bc she doesn't understand way before that happened.
"She's evil and willing to risk your daughter's life just to get under my skin. You and your dad are no different if you are ok with her behavior. There's nothing wrong with me and l'm not crazy. I just love my kids way too much."
Shanann went on to say that "something changed" between her and Chris. She added, "I am not going to be treated this way for having the balls to protect our family and kids."
Watts seemed to be in agreement with his wife, admitting his mom "truly screwed up in a huge way," but then added: "l'm sorry for the way l've been acting, it's just been in my head and I haven't been right at all."
In the early morning hours of August 13, 2018, Watts killed Shanann as well as his two little girls and unborn son Nico. The disgraced father is currently serving out a life sentence at Dodge Correctional Institution, a maximum-security prison, in Waupun, Wis.

So its Week 14 and you feel pretty confident that the New Orleans Saints will win the NFC title and the Kansas City Chiefs will win the AFC title. Now if only you could make a bet that those two exact teams will face each other in the next Super Bowl ….
Who Offers Super Bowl Exact Matchup Odds?
Not all NFL online betting shops offer it, but some do. And its called Super Bowl Exact Matchup Odds. It takes every possible scenario and sets odds on each one. On the day we wrote this article, that KC vs Chicago option was +1900 or 19/1 odds. So, after Week 15, with many options on which teams will meet in the Super Bowl still alive, we can get a 19/1 payout if our prediction comes true.
Exact matchup odds are not available all season long, because early in the season, there are literally thousands of possibilities. But as the season marches along and some teams fall out of the playoff race, the list of options narrows and shops like 5Dimes.eu post exact matchup Super Bowl odds.
Are Super Bowl exact matchup bets smart to make?
Consider these bets in the same vein as future wagers. These are still longshot bets, even if you are fairly confident in your selections. And it also means you are laying down your money in November for a bet that won't be decided until late January. So that's a long time to have your money just sitting there waiting for the bet to win or lose. It's money you don't get to invest in weekly NFL wagers.
As an example, check out the Super Bowl Exact Matchup Odds below as of Week 16 of the 2018 season. Lines are courtesy of 5Dimes.eu.

Court rules no privacy for cellphone with 1-2-3-4 passcode
Originally published June 13, 2018 at 12:08 pm Updated June 13, 2018 at 12:31 pm
JEFFREY COLLINS
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A man serving 18 years in prison in South Carolina for burglary was rightfully convicted in part because he left his cellphone at the crime scene and a detective guessed his passcode as 1-2-3-4 instead of getting a warrant, the state Supreme Court ruled Wednesday.
Lawyers for Lamar Brown argued detectives in Charleston violated Brown's right to privacy by searching his phone without a warrant.
After storing the cellphone in an evidence locker for six days in December 2011, the detective guessed right on Brown's easy passcode, found a contact named "grandma" and was able to work his way back to Brown.
The justices ruled in a 4-1 decision that Brown abandoned his phone at the Charleston home and made no effort to find it. The law allows police to look at abandoned property without a court-issued warrant allowing a search.

"Any police officer would assume after six days of no efforts by the owner to recover this phone — especially under the circumstance that the owner left the phone at the scene of a burglary — that the owner had decided it was too risky to try to recover it. Brown's decision not to attempt to recover the phone equates to the abandonment of the phone," associate justice John Few wrote in the majority opinion.
But in his dissent, South Carolina Chief Justice Don Beatty said Brown likely didn't consider his cellphone abandoned and his passcode showed he wanted to protect the contents inside and police should have gotten a warrant for a search like they would the home or car of someone suspected in a crime.
It "is not that the information on a cellphone is immune from search; it is instead that a warrant is generally required before such a search," Beatty wrote, quoting U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts from an earlier case.
The condominium owner found Brown's cellphone when it rang in his bedroom as he and his girlfriend opened Christmas presents. He discovered the bedroom window was broken and his television, laptop computer, two of his roommate's laptops, and jewelry was taken, according to court records.

Only a few years ago, if you went to the HPC On Wall Street conference in New York, all of the talk was about low latency and high performance. There were a couple of reasons for that, the first being that high frequency trading was much more prevalent and companies were netting much more profit from it than they are today. Moreover, with so many security breaches at large corporations and CEOs losing their jobs over it, everyone is starting to focus on security. Financial services firms are also trying to figure out ways to integrate their disparate silos and bring some order to the workflows that represent their applications.
That was the central theme of the opening keynote at this year's HPC On Wall Street event. Representatives from Cisco Systems, which provides network and compute; MapR Technologies, which provides a Hadoop distribution with lots of add-ons and a homegrown file system that is better than HDFS in many ways; Splunk, which provides data ingestion and visualization tools; and Tresata, which provides predictive analytics software that chews on big data were all on hand to talk about the issues financial services firms are facing and how an integrated approach from their companies could solve many network issues, not just run risk analysis and other analytical applications. The idea is to bring an integrated approach to networking and big data to both the infrastructure and the applications that run on the infrastructure.
As you might expect, Cisco came on strong with its Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), which it launched last November in its high-end Nexus 9000 switches and which will eventually be cascaded throughout its switching. With ACI, Cisco is essentially baking software defined networking into its ASICs and abstracting everything you know about an application into a policy template, which in turn drives the dynamic configuration of network resources to support and secure that application as it is running.
"Performance and scale are basically table stakes," explained Dave Malik, senior director of solutions architecture at Cisco. Malik is one of the experts in the financial services market that doesn't just help Cisco sell products, but craft them. Performance and scale are not just table stakes for switching, but also for compute and for systems and application software. "But more importantly, it has to scale at a co-location facility or and enterprise datacenter or a service provider, and your automation becomes key. We are seeing more and more customers looking at multitenancy requirements, and the word of the day is microsegmentation – how do you segment the infrastructure from end to end so you can run your risk analytics next to your Hadoop infrastructure?"
One of the things that Cisco is doing with ACI is exposing APIs about the network fabric so the network can feed into various system, storage, and network management tools and have the network respond to changes in the application. "The days of configuring devices, configuring outputs, configuring port counters – those days are done," said Malik. "With ACI, you configure the intent of the application and how it will connect with other endpoints, what kind of compute and storage and security resources you want for it, and the entire fabric configures itself, from end to end. And when you talk to compliance or risk auditors, that becomes a central place to look at the system as a cohesive whole."
The idea with ACI sounds simple enough: You define from the app all the way down to the metal, and you start speaking in the language of applications, not access control lists and other network gorp. And you get away from the "spray and pray" method of overprovisioning networks to deal with peaks and congestion. You have deep application telemetry and visibility and can identify anywhere in the fabric where packets are lost and correct the issue.
Just as performance and scale are table stakes for the network and raw compute and storage, performance and scale are also table stakes for analytic tools like Hadoop. Will Ochandarena, director of product management at MapR Technologies, one of the key distributors of Hadoop, did a brief walk through the evolution of Hadoop from a slow batch system to an online one that is suitable for many applications in the financial services sector.
With the addition of in-memory features such as Apache Spark, the batch analytics that might take an hour or more could be done in maybe ten minutes. With the addition of interactive SQL on top of Hadoop, with projects like Apache Drill, then the same queries that used to take hours now take on the order of ten seconds. But now, with in-Hadoop databases such as MapR's own MapR-DB, which is a NoSQL data store that is compatible with the Apache HBase APIs. "We are seeing a latency of 10 milliseconds for gets and puts, and it can actually be used as an operational data store instead of just for analytics," said Ochandarena. "And that is important because it eliminates any data movement."
The idea is to use the telemetry coming out of the network and applications and pull it into Hadoop to store it permanently. You use the streaming features of Hadoop, such as Spark Streaming or Storm, to do real-time processing on events in the network and use machine learning to help feed information back into the infrastructure to control it. Drill, Hive, Impala and other tools are used to carve out subsets of this operational data using SQL commands, and then this data is pumped into a tool such as Splunk's Hunk to explore and visualize the datasets.


Technology is at the heart of Sifunda Kunye, our mission being to introduce and support new technology to assist children in their pursuit of a quality education.
St Andrew's College in Grahamstown has been a strong supporter and partner for Sifunda Kunye, offering technology support from their Information Technology Department. Their staff members work on Sifunda projects and assist with networking installation, testing and maintenance.
When beginning the project in a new school, the first step is to create the infrastructure that is able to support a computer lab and multiple users. The bandwidth is often insufficient in which case connection improvements are necessary. Once the infrastructure is in place, the computer lab is ready to be installed with the hardware. The size of the lab is based on the needs of the school and the number of students but an average of 30 computers is installed. Sifunda Kunye hires a local IT specialist to work on-site at the school on a full time basis to maintain the hardware and software and manage the technology needs of the project. All systems are networked and students have user identification so they can store their work and teachers can keep track of their progress.
The biggest challenge that students have entering high school is mastering of the English language. Students from this rural area are not proficient in the English language but need to be able to take examinations which are all in the English language. The software that is currently being used by Sifunda Kuyke is CAMI English and is a tremendous learning tool to assist students in their English proficiency.

Southwest Florida has more residential real estate at risk from storm surge damage than almost any other metropolitan area in the country, a new report shows.
If a major hurricane were to strike here, it would cost nearly $43 billion to rebuild the homes destroyed by the storm and subsequent surge in the region, according to data from housing researcher CoreLogic.
Statewide, more than two million homes could be impacted and cost nearly $500 billion to replace.
The area hasn't faced a direct hurricane strike in nearly a decade. But because of explosive new home development and the region's high flood exposure, the potential impact to coastal properties has escalated.
The trend is felt across Florida, which has by far more homes at storm surge risk than any other state — many of which lack protection from insurance coverage.
In all, there are 227,821 homes in the North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton metro area that are within storm-surge risk zones.
Of those, 41,006 homes are designated in the "extreme" risk zone, meaning that they would be impacted by all hurricane category levels, according to CoreLogic.
If a hurricane were to strike, it would cost a combined $42.96 billion to rebuild those homes. That value represents the estimated cost of labor and materials to replace a home that has been completely destroyed.
Only six other cities in America have more real estate at risk — and a higher overall replacement value — than Southwest Florida.
That's largely because of the high number of multimillion-dollar estates and luxury condominium towers on the region's barrier islands.
But local real estate experts question CoreLogic's replacement cost figure.
Pettingell, for one, contends that because many high-end residences are built with storm-resistant material and are on higher elevations, it is unlikely even the most vicious storm would cause almost $43 billion in home damage.
In Charlotte County, there are an estimated 93,299 properties at risk from storm surge. Those homes would cost an estimated $19 billion to replace following a storm, according to CoreLogic.
Storm surge occurs when high winds and low pressure combine to cause water to amass inside a storm as it moves over water.
When a storm moves ashore, that force sweeps over land.
Because of its speed and power, storm surge can significantly increase the overall impact from hurricanes.
While scientists have predicted an usually quiet storm season this year, CoreLogic researchers say the report serves as a reminder that the risk of significant damage to Florida homes is a constant threat.
CoreLogic examined homes along the coastlines of 19 states and the District of Columbia, from Texas to Maine. The researcher used Federal Emergency Management Agency flood zone information and data from Marshall & Swift/Boeckh to determine replacement values.
The report identified 6.5 million U.S. homes at some risk of storm surge damage, with a total replacement value of nearly $1.5 trillion.
More than $986 billion of that amount — or just under two-thirds of the total — is concentrated within 15 metro areas, however, including the Sarasota-Bradenton area.
Florida tops the list for the highest number of homes at risk of storm surge damage, with nearly 2.5 million residences at various risk levels and $490 billion in potential exposure to damage — nearly one third of the national total.
CoreLogic's analysis also showed the reasons storm surge exposure varied for state to state.
Florida and Texas were among the top five states for the number of properties at risk primarily because to their extensive coastlines.
Louisiana and New Jersey have smaller coastal areas, but both states have low elevation that allows storm surge to extend farther inland.
The new report comes amid debate between Congress and real estate professionals over the solvency of the federal government's flood insurance plan.
In March, Congress passed a bipartisan bill that unwinds some of the changes brought about by the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012. The measure amended provisions slated to hike premiums in many parts of the country, including Southwest Florida.
Many homeowners who live outside FEMA flood zones don't carry flood insurance because they're not required to do so.
Virginia Beach has the highest ratio of homes at risk from storm surge not in a FEMA flood zone, at 86 percent. That was followed by Philadelphia, at 85 percent, and Jacksonville at 76 percent, according to CoreLogic.
About 63 percent of the homes in Sarasota-Bradenton at risk for storm surge are not currently required to obtain flood insurance.
That could leave Florida potentially in tremendous debt if a storm hits, said Don Brown, a Florida insurance agent, former state legislator and insurance lobbyist.
"Some people have made the decision that they'll take their chances and keep their head in the sand," Brown said. "It's no secret now that we have more exposure in Florida than any other state, and in many cases, we won't be able to replace the damage at these costs.

What Is Holodexxx? Everything You Need To Know!
Adult entertainment has come a long way from when it was just simple porn. Now, we have interactive games that allow us to feel like we are in the film just like the game Holodexxx.
Holodexxx has been developed and is being continuously developed by its programmers and has over a thousand patrons that support the game.
It claims to be the first fully interactive sex experience and it can certainly do more than just let us watch the interaction between the characters in the game.
This is a unique game because it uses real people by 3D scanning them and then programs the characters into the game while they can do more actions than most characters in other games.
This game was made by a team of award-winning video game developers, programmers, and designers so you should expect nothing less.
All the technicalities of the game have been studied tirelessly and it has resulted in this amazing game that everybody will surely love.
This game is the type that allows users to remove the ethical arguments about sex toys or sex robots in particular. Porn games have definitely evolved adult entertainment.
We cannot bring you the full experience of the game here but we are here to give you all the things that you need to know about this impressive game.
The Movements
The Animation
Voice Activation
The Next Step for Holodexxx
The basics of this game when it was created are not really basic. The characters in the game are real people that were 3D scanned and are motion-captured.
This means that the body of the characters is as close to the real person. The characters are based on real pornstars that we would usually watch from different porn sites.
They included 9 porn stars in the game for the users to enjoy. Because of these advanced techniques, the game has become the most interactive one in this industry.
Since the characters are made to be as real as they can be, the game is totally personalized so they react to every movement that you do and for every position that you want them to do.
The game is also created fully based on 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) meaning you can move your own body around the game to take a better look at any angle possible.
Along with the 6DOF, the actions are also filmed with a full 360-surround camera set up so you can take a look at all the details that you want and it would be there.
The models were brought in the studio for the makeup and everything that they needed and then 112 cameras captured all the angles that were needed.
You can watch the process here.
As of now, the Holodexx developers are still continuing to improve the game and it is so transparent that they ask other people or users to bring their suggestions to them for development.
As mentioned above, the characters have realistic movements that will depend on yours as well. This is made possible because of an advanced Motion-capture program.
This was made to make the actions as real as possible so they used the most advanced motion capture that they can find and other games are starting to use it as well.
The motion capture program was even used in the highest-grossing film of award-winning director, James Cameron. The movie is called Avatar and it has the most amazing graphics in a movie.
So imagine a game that consists of these high-standard graphics. That is what Holodexx brings to the table so it certainly does not disappoint.
The characters in the game are straight out of the real porn that we watch. It includes models like Riley Reid, Dani Daniels, Tori Black, Mia Malkova, Lexy Belle, Christian Wilde, and more.
There is a Riley Reid sneak peek that was launched earlier and you can see everything that you want in there without the full experience yet.
Meaning you can see what the game brings so you can have a better understanding of what the game will really look like if you decided to purchase it.
The sneak peek contains all the technical aspects of the game and can be played on a flat-screen monitor of your traditional PC or via a virtual reality headset such as the HTC Vive.
As for the details of the characters themselves, there is not much need for making an animated version as they are already as real as they can be.
Just the mere combination of the motion capture and the 3D scanner is enough for making the best porn game that there is. So that is what Holodexxx did.
The incredible details on the characters can be seen when using a VR headset and you will be amazed by how accurate the pictures or the characters are.
In the video above, even the model, Tori Black is amazed at how amazing the 3D picture was. If you really take a close look, you will see every pore, mole, or any detail on the body of the model.
This, combined with the motion capture, really gets the game to a whole new level that any other game has never reached before.
The game also includes a voice-activated Artificial Intelligence that you can tell things to and the game will respond according to what you have told it to.
The characters are also immersed with the voice-activated AI and so when you instruct them to make a particular movement, the characters will do as they have been told.
Just imagine a game where you can instruct your favorite porn star in doing whatever you want and perform sexual interactions with them.
With this feature, you can also go to a newly-developed Holodexxx condo where you can have a conversation with the AI-enable porn star for as long as you want.
There are also features such as the Holodexxx Gallery where you are brought into a nightclub to meet all the 9 porn stars and you can choose which one of them you want the most.
The developers are planning to release a new character named Marley Brinx in the game and will be officially added to the game in July 2020.
The character already has a sneak peek so you can take a look at that to get a better view of what's coming for you and other users.
They are also developing an app that will help users understand what is really happening in the game as well as the navigation within the game.
There are still underdeveloped scenes and movements in the game but the developers are always open for questions so you can seek advice on whether your controller is not working or any other issues in the game.
Holodexxx is believed to be the future of adult entertainment and we think that it is safe to say that it is the closest one to attaining that goal.
It includes real-life porn stars so you can be sure that it is as realistic as it can be as no other games have used real models to form their characters.
It also has an amazing way to move the characters as the startup method of the game includes motion-capture so the movements are as real as they can be.
This is probably the most immersive adult game right now and we are glad that it is continuously being improved. It has voice-activated controls as well as the common controls in porn games.
This surely will take your porn on a whole new level so go and check their Patreon page to see the latest updates about the game.

This footage comes from the Raw Fruit Festival Spain 2013. During one of the discussion groups a man named Jerome, who created a vegan eco-village in Southern France, talked about why and how he created his own reality.
Many people at the festival share a similar dream of living from the land in a way that is sustainable, secure and free. Eco villages are communities of people living off the land who support each other by working different roles and sharing the land and it's bounties with each other.
Permaculture is a field of agriculture that is focused on self-sustainability. In my opinion, this is the future of life on this planet. We must find a way to go back to nature and end this mass destruction of the planet's natural resources and the diversity of life. It's time to end the animal holocaust and stop sucking the earth's natural resources dry in the name of money and power.
Many of the attendees agree that we need to focus on growing our own food, planting fruit trees, and creating ways to establish community that supports these ideas.
Jerome was once an activist for animal rights but he realized that the current system is so huge that it is more powerful and effective to create your own world.

Robot Mode: As a robot Brawn holds but very little resemblance to the G1 Toy of the same name, but quite a bit to the G1 character we saw in the cartoon series. This version of Brawn here is a bit more slender than the bulky strongman we saw on the screen, but still, it's easy to recognise him. Especially the head and chest are spot on. Posability-wise Brawn has balljoints in the shoulders, allowing for a full range of motion there. No elbows, sadly, but barely any Legends figure ever had one.
One thing that bothers me a bit, though: Brawn has knee joints, but they go in the wrong direction. He can only bend his knees forward, something he needs for his transformation, but how hard could it have been to have them bend backwards as well? The joints are there, it's only some plastic that's in the way. Sadly, no go. So his posability is rather limited. Apart from that, though, a pretty nice robot mode. Possible the beast Brawn yet (not that there have been in all that many to begin with).
Alternate Mode: Brawn still transforms into a small, green 4-wheel-drive vehicle. The spare tire is no longer on the top, but rather the back, and he's a lighter green than Brawn's original, deep green. The vehicle has decent detailing, including a front bumber, headlights, and coloured windows. Pretty good for its size class. Not much more I can write here, though. It's a small, green car. Can't write novels about that. All in all a good, solid vehicle mode.
Remarks: I really like Brawn. The strong, tough little guy that loved to throw around Decepticons twice his size and refused to believe that there was anyone he couldn't beat. Sadly he died in the 1986 Transformers Movie and we haven't really seen much of him since (unless you count RID's X-Brawn), so it's really nice to see him appear in the Universe line-up. And though I'm not usually a fan of Legends-class figures, it is fitting somehow that the G1 Minibots, who were pretty much the Legends-figures of G1, are now reincarnated in this size-class. So overall, I'm pretty satisfied with Brawn. Posability could be better, but apart from that: Solid. Recommended to all Brawn fans.

How Ukraine's climate and geography may affect a Russian invasion
As navy analysts warn of a doable Russian invasion of Ukraine, additionally they are keeping track of the climate. Temperatures, cloud cowl and even the radioactivity within the soil may decide when and the place Russian troops make a doable transfer.
For hundreds of years, armies and nations have waged wars on these identical lands, from the steppes to the Jap European heartland, and have confronted comparable obstacles — from mucky wetlands to speeding rivers and treacherous mountain ranges.
Russia, whereas mobilizing greater than 100,000 troops alongside the Ukraine border, denies it plans to invade. However Washington and its allies are making ready for doable aggression by sending navy personnel and gear to NATO members close to Ukraine.
Now, with airstrike capabilities and state-of-the-art materiel on each side, geography and climate are much less of an element than they had been up to now. However they nonetheless may affect the timing and the tide of a possible battle. Chilly climate supplies exhausting, quick terrain countrywide for an invasion, consultants stated. Hotter climate beginning in later February and into March brings with it thawing grounds, resulting in muddy circumstances which can be lower than superb for heavy navy automobiles.
"It is vitally inconvenient to hold out offensive operations within the spring," stated Kirill Mikhailov, an analyst on the Battle Intelligence Staff, an unbiased Russian open-source investigative group that displays Russia's navy. "As a result of the thaw turns ravines into creeks, and creeks into rivers. In the event you perform an operation, it ought to be carried out both in January or February."
The Pinsk Marshes
To Ukraine's north span roughly 100,000 sq. miles of wetlands referred to as the Pinsk Marshes. Right here is one place the chilly may actually play a task. In the course of the winter, these mucky flatlands freeze over, offering a extra steady terrain for heavy navy automobiles that will in any other case get caught within the mud.
Consultants say the frozen floor, normally current in February, may present Russian troops with one of the best window to cross into Ukraine. Whereas extra roads have just lately been constructed all through the marshes, traversing the open terrain can be strategically vital.
"These fields turn into essential as a result of you'll be able to't danger bottlenecks on a roadway," stated Seth G. Jones, senior vp on the Heart for Strategic and Worldwide Research (CSIS). "You run into actual issues on very muddy terrain within the March-April timeframe."
Traditionally the marshes have been an impediment to forces. However muddy panorama won't be a deciding issue this time round, in line with a written evaluation by the Heart for Naval Analyses Russia Research Program (CNA) in response to questions from The Washington Submit. "Whereas these marshes had been flagged as a possible hazard for Western forces preventing a hypothetical conflict in the usS.R. and regarded 'impassible besides throughout winter,' Russian troops have lengthy proved fairly adept at dealing with marsh and swamp terrain."
Throughout World Struggle II, the marshes posed a problem to German forces invading throughout Operation Barbarossa.
Belarusian Border
The marshes are unfold throughout one other key strategic location: the Belarusian border. As the bottom freezes, it may give Russian troops entry to Kyiv, which falls a mere 56 miles to the south, although that most-direct route passes by the nuclear catastrophe website of Chernobyl.
Russia has begun mobilizing forces forward of joint Belarus-Russian navy workouts, scheduled to happen Feb. 10 to Feb. 20. CNA stated Russia has despatched greater than 10 battalion tactical teams to Belarus, in addition to naval and airborne models.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, an in depth ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has vowed to defend his nation and Russia in opposition to Ukrainian "aggression."
'The Zone'
Russian forces looking for probably the most direct path to Kyiv may run into one other impediment: Chernobyl. The location of a nuclear catastrophe in 1986, the 1,000-square-mile zone is closely restricted to maintain folks secure from radioactivity nonetheless embedded within the floor.
In November, Ukraine deployed border guards to patrol the world as tensions with Russia and Belarus heightened. Whereas sure areas are secure to occupy for a while, the explosions and artillery hearth of warfare within the space might be harmful.
"The supply of air-to-surface munitions, artillery, mortar and a number of rocket-launcher hearth within the Belarus-Ukraine border space may additionally disperse radioactive particles within the soil," stated Russian navy analyst Pavel Felgenhauer.
The Dnieper River
Whereas an invasion from Belarus's south can be probably the most direct path to Ukraine's capital, many anticipate potential Russian navy aggression to additionally come from the northeast and east, the place pro-Moscow separatists management Ukrainian territory in Donbas, and greater than 100,000 Russian troops have amassed on the nation's border with Ukraine.
They may come by Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-most-populous metropolis. There are not any geographic obstacles separating this jap metropolis from Russia, making it a quick and prime goal.
Transferring west, any invading drive would attain the banks of the Dnieper River, which symbolically divides Ukraine into east and west, starting in Russia and flowing by Belarus and Ukraine into the Black Sea.
The waterway, residence to essential infrastructure together with dams, can be a key consideration in an invasion from Belarus or Russia.
Within the southern metropolis of Zaporizhzhya, for instance, is the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station, an enormous dam that additionally joins the banks of the river.
In World Struggle II, Soviet chief Joseph Stalin's secret police destroyed this dam to make the river tougher for German forces to cross, killing civilians and flooding cities within the course of. The dam has since been rebuilt, and consultants observe that Ukraine may repeat the tactic, this time to decelerate a Russian invasion, washing out oncoming forces.
However Joseph S. Bermudez Jr., a senior fellow for imagery evaluation at CSIS, cautioned that the transfer may once more drown Ukrainian cities. "In the event that they blew the dams they'd do as a lot harm to the Ukrainian inhabitants as they'd a Russian invasion," he stated.
The Black Sea
In Ukraine's south is the Black Sea, an vital physique of water that serves because the nation's transport route with its connection to the Mediterranean. The Black Sea has been the location of quite a few conflicts all through historical past, together with the Russo-Turkish wars, the Crimean Struggle within the 1850s and World Struggle II.
In 2014, Russia annexed Crimea, giving the nation expanded entry to the ocean.
Now, CNA stated: "The Russian Navy is determined by transit by the Black Sea for supplying navy presence in Syria and for rotating ships out and in of its Mediterranean squadron."
Since 2014, the group added, the Russian navy's Black Sea Fleet has "expanded and modernized." Twenty of its ships had been just lately "engaged in a significant naval train within the Black Sea," as a part of a "large-scale naval train involving all Russian fleets."
Different Western naval vessels enter the Black Sea periodically, however those who stray too shut to Crimea typically face brushes with Russian warships, as Moscow sees these strikes as a direct problem to its annexation of the peninsula.
The Kerch Strait
The Kerch Strait divides the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, and might be one other entry level for Russia. In 2018, Russia opened a 12-mile-long, $4 billion bridge over the strait, instantly linking Russia to Crimea. Ukraine and the West have referred to as the bridge one other unlawful infringement on Kyiv's sovereignty.
A mountain vary runs by Ukraine's west, forming a pure barrier that stretches from Romania by Slovakia. The upper-ground vantage factors of its peaks made them coveted territory in previous conflicts. Russians battled Austro-Hungarian troops through the winter of 1915 in World Struggle I, and troopers froze within the snowy terrain.
However the mountains wouldn't consider a possible Russian invasion in the present day, analysts stated. There's been no current Russian navy presence detected in that space.

2021 tried to start on a unified note but soon fell to the pandemic's contentious chorus
In a dark mid-December late last year – with rampant infections underway, hospitals pushed to the brink – 2021 made such a promise. The coronavirus had changed the world, and vaccines promised to change it back.
The country was increasingly tired of the pandemic. Divisions of privilege, class and race were strained as more Americans became ill, stayed home and felt their lives falter under sanctions and closures.
But news of two vaccines, one by a pharmaceutical giant and another by an upstart biotech firm, promised to put the system down. An 11-month sprint to stop the spread of COVID-19 had ended with emergency use authorizations for Pfizer-BioNtech and Moderna.

If their methods sounded like science fiction – teaching cells to make up part of a virus that the immune system would then attack – then the results were all the more surprising: each more than 94% effective.
With numbers like this, shutdown will end. Closed schools, businesses, restaurants will reopen, the silence and isolation will soon end.
We had no idea that we would become our own worst enemy.
By New Year's Day, the most ambitious public health campaign in the nation's history had begun, and by the end of January, more than 25 million Americans had rolled up their sleeves.
But the more urgent the need, the sooner the execution will be chaotic. There were shortages, setbacks, confusion and scandal. Vaccine hunters gathered on Facebook to jump at the head of a line designed in favor of the most vulnerable.
Johnson & Johnson's one-shot vaccine joins others. But production at its Baltimore manufacturing plant was halted due to pollution; 60 million doses were destroyed. Then, when a small number of J&J recipients developed a rare blood clotting disorder, federal officials raised a flag (and then turned it down with a few warnings).

Most of the new vaccines felt like they had won the lottery. Volunteers and the National Guard waved lines of people and cars through convention centers and stadiums. Mass testing sites became mass vaccination sites, and in a snowstorm in Oregon, health workers stuck in traffic behind a jackknife semi went from car to car administering six Moderna doses that would have otherwise gone bad.
"I can't imagine a better way to spend four hours stuck in a snowstorm," said Michael Weber, a public health director.
After months of being alone and apart, the country may begin to come together again. By the end of January, 1.2 million doses a day were being administered, and a few weeks later, President Biden visited a Pfizer plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan, predicting a return to normalcy by the end of the year. "And God willing," he said, "this Christmas will be different from the last."
A month later the daily vaccination rate had more than doubled. A goal of vaccinating 70% of all Americans by the Fourth of July was in sight, and the virus-ravaged country began to rebuild.

There was work to be done. The marks of 2020 were still with us. Days of uncertainty and fear – sirens at night, graphs and dashboards of rising infections and deaths, the madness of current events – had taken their toll.
Virtual learning was failing, students were dropping out, suicide groups reported. Unemployment and homelessness have risen despite trillion-dollar stimulus bills.
Many were angry or sad. Few felt guilty or lucky, and by the anniversary of the pandemic's declaration, the country paused to witness the more than half a million dead whose final days not only reflected the horrors of the disease but also inequalities in health care and social justice. Saw. ,
The tribute to so many ordinary people was extraordinary: simple lives marked by simple pleasures – love of family, commitment to a cause, courage in the face of illness – that would have been overlooked if COVID had not removed them from obscurity.

But even the most open-hearted feel tired. "Our emotions are not good at quantitative assessment," explained Paul Slovic, a professor of psychology at the University of Oregon in Eugene. "As the numbers go up, we become more insensitive."
The numbness caused discomfort and, first of all, some innocent calculations. The family reunited. Friends met for coffee. Little Leaguers took to the field. The couple kissed in public.
Caveats followed: Too early, too fast. "The last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking," the president said when Texas and Mississippi withdrew their masked mandates in early March.
But as the days progressed, the country was moving ahead.
The final night of the April Stock Show and Rodeo in San Angelo, Texas sold out in minutes. Morning prayers in Brooklyn, NY filled a street with worshipers marking the end of Ramadan, and on the first day of summer, Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters stood in front of 20,000 fans at Madison Square Garden.
"It's time you learn to live again," Grohl sang tearfully at the start of the three-hour show.
Of course, learning to live again was not just America's desire, and overseas the need became more desperate.
In Brazil, the COVID death rate climbed to 125 – per hour. In Indonesia, dozens of people died over the weekend when a hospital ran out of oxygen. In Africa, some countries counted more than 1,000 new cases a day, and leaders accused wealthy countries of vaccine nationalism.
Thousands of people died in two rounds of the COVID-19 pandemic in Manaus, Brazil. Many in this city with a population of two million know someone who died after running out of oxygen in the most severe cases in hospitals. The authorities had to bulldoze parts of the forest for a place to bury the dead.
Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, World Health Organization director for Africa, said: "Export restrictions and vaccine hoarding still remain a stumbling block on the lifeline of vaccine supplies to Africa."
In India, the sky was darkened by the smoke of the pyre.
The coronavirus had a new lesson to teach. The more it was repeated, the more it mutated, and the delta variant entered the dictionary. Efficient and deadly, it spreads easily like chickenpox.
"The war has changed," said the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in an internal document released in late July, just as 380,000 fans descended on Chicago for Lollapalooza, the four-day music festival that has been posted as # on some social media sites. I was trending. Deltapalooza.
The impulse to gather and celebrate was too strong to stop.
No longer primarily targeting the old and vulnerable, COVID has now affected younger and healthier people. Arguments from hospitalizations and doctors, nurses and hospital staff in Michigan, Texas, Louisiana and Florida, plagued by an illness whose unpredictability left bereaved family members consoling a cry for help, went unanswered. Went.
"I don't want to put my life on the line just because people don't want to get vaccinated or to hear what health professionals are advising," said Pascaline Muhindura, a registered nurse in the critical care unit at Research Medical Center. In Kansas City, Mo.
In a race against time and nature, federal health officials scramble to come up with a new campaign, but the battle lines are abruptly set.
Since vaccines were introduced, 14% of the country's population said they would never get a shot. They claimed religious or health exemptions. He cited distrust of the government and long joined forces with anti-vaxxers, who saw the pandemic as an opportunity to erode individual rights, increase authoritarian control, punish the middle class, and funnel wealth to the wealthy. .
The heatwave on 16 September killed 3,418 people, one of the highest daily totals since the pandemic began. The delta variant was responsible, but most of those infected were not vaccinated.
"The science is anti-death," said Peter Hotez, a pediatrician and specialist in tropical infectious diseases at Baylor College of Medicine.
With the start of the school year and the number of pediatric cases doubling across the country, the American Academy of Pediatrics has called on the FDA to "aggressively" move toward authorizing COVID-19 vaccines for children under 12. urged to work.
As the charts for public health agencies skyrocket, civil liberties debate has raged between Democrats and Republicans.
