Research Handbook on Foreign Direct Investment
Edited by Markus Krajewski, Rhea T. Hoffmann
Increasing international investment, the proliferation of international investment agreements, domestic legislation, and investor-State contracts have contributed to the development of a new field of international law that defines obligations between host states and foreign investors with investor-State dispute settlement. This involves not only vast sums, but also a panoply of rights, duties, and shifting objectives at the juncture of national and international law and policy. This engaging Research Handbook provides an authoritative account of these diverse investment law issues. Learn More

Banks and Finance in Modern Macroeconomics
Bruna Ingrao, Claudio Sardoni
The world financial crisis of 2007–2008 dramatically showed the importance of credit and financial relations for the efficient working of the economy. For a long time mainstream macroeconomics ignored these aspects and concentrated only on the real sector or just took into account the most elementary picture of the financial side of the economy. This book aims at explaining why this happened through an historical excursion of 20th century mainstream macroeconomic theory. Learn More
Financial Regulation and Stability
Charles Goodhart, Dimitrios P. Tsomocos
This book addresses the interaction of monetary and regulatory policy to achieve the important goal of price and financial stability. The authors show how financial stability can be assessed and measured continuously, and discuss the interrelationships between liquidity and default. Without default there would be no concern about liquidity. But the financial crisis was not just a liquidity problem, and requires a general equilibrium model. Their general equilibrium analysis demonstrates how policy should depend on understanding all the relevant factors. Learn More
The Economics of Adaptation and Long-term Relationships
Dean V. Williamson
Do institutions matter in economic theory? Or is the economic analysis of institutions a distraction from the most important action? Indeed, does Vernon Smith's notion of the "institution-free core" of formal economic theory encompass that most important action? To explore this question, this book opens with an informal tour of the economics of system design out of which an economics of adaptation ultimately emerged. The book then offers explorations, via the application of the economics of adaptation in both law and economics relating to how parties manage relationships within the firm, within the context of long-term contracts, and, most vividly, within the context of antitrust conspiracy.

Dumping and Antidumping Trade Protection
Edited by Bruce A. Blonigen, Thomas J. Prusa
Antidumping trade protection is one of the most frequent and ubiquitous trade policies in the global economy. This volume brings together the key reference pieces in the antidumping literature that have critically defined and shaped what we know about this important and unique form of trade protection. An introductory chapter by the editors, both scholars in this area, critically analyzes the literature and discusses its future directions. This is an important reference volume not only for new and established scholars in international economics, but also policymakers and legal intellectuals. Learn More
Debt and Economic Performance
Edited by Cristina D. Checherita-Westphal
This compelling volume touches on the contemporary debates in macroeconomics that have consequentially emerged as a result of government debt. Should governments tolerate high public debt or become more indebted given the now prevailing low interest rates? Or is high public debt bad for private sector confidence and growth, by feeding uncertainty, expectation of future tax hikes and an imminent collapse in the wake of the next crisis? This volume presents a collection of articles reflecting on these complex and intriguing topics. Prefaced by an original introduction from the editor, this collection will be useful for policy makers and academics alike, while being particularly suited for those wishing to explore this exciting research area further.

Minsky's Moment
Piero Ferri
At its core this book sets out the analytical and methodological foundations of Minsky's financial instability hypothesis (FIH). Grounded on the joint work of Piero Ferri and Hyman Minsky, it offers insightful analysis from a unique insider's perspective. The objective is to deepen and enlarge the toolbox used by Minsky and to place the analysis within a dynamic perspective where a meta model, based upon regime switching, can encompass the different forms that the FIH can assume.

Religion and Finance
Mervyn K. Lewis, Ahmad Kaleem
Judaism, Christianity and Islam all impose obligations and constraints upon the rightful use of wealth and earthly resources. All three of these religions have well-researched views on the acceptability of practices such as usury but the principles and practices of other, non-interest, financial instruments are less well known. This book examines each of these three major world faiths, considering their teachings, social precepts and economic frameworks, which are set out as a guide for the financial dealings and economic behaviour of their adherents. Learn More
The Behavioural Finance Revolution
Edited by Riccardo Viale, Shabnam Mousavi, Barbara Alemanni, Umberto Filotto
Financial markets are complex. Regulators strive to predict ways in which they can malfunction and create rules to prevent this from happening, yet behavioural impacts are often overlooked. This book explores how behavioural finance can go hand-in-hand with traditional methods to help banks and regulators create better policies. It also demonstrates how the behavioural finance revolution has opened the way to a more integrated approach to the analysis of economic phenomena. Learn More
The Political Economy of International Finance in an Age of Inequality
Edited by Gerald A. Epstein
The essays in this book describe and analyze the current contours of the international financial system, covering both developed and developing countries, and focusing on the ways in which the current international financial system structures, and is affected by, profound inequalities in the international system. This keen analysis of key topics in international finance takes a heterodox perspective, with focus on the role of inequalities in power in shaping the structure and outcomes in the international sphere.

Structural Reforms for Growth and Cohesion
Edited by Ewald Nowotny, Doris Ritzberger-Grünwald, Helene Schuberth
Effective and well-designed structural reforms are key to shaping Europe's future in the context of the formidable challenges facing the continent today. This book examines the achievements and failures of past structural policies so that future ones can be adapted to address remaining and newly emerging challenges with greater success. Highlighting the social aspects and distributional effects of reforms that go beyond liberalization and deregulation, the book covers key issues facing future Europe, particularly those arising from technological innovation.

The Economics of Risk and Uncertainty
Edited by Christian Gollier
The compilation of ground-breaking papers contained in this collection offers a complete description of the evolution of knowledge in the economics of risk and time, from its early twentieth-century explorations to its current diversity of approaches. The papers focus first on the basic decisions under uncertainty, and then on asset pricing. They cover both classical expected utility approach and its non-expected utility generalizations, with applications to dynamic portfolio choices, insurance, risk sharing, and risk prevention. Prefaced by an original introduction from the editor, this collection will be valuable for scholars in finance and macroeconomics, particularly those with an interest in the modeling foundations of consumer and investor decisions under uncertainty.

This Handbook examines the nexus between these areas by scrutinising aspects of socially responsible investment, finance and sustainable development, corporate socially responsible banking firms, the stock returns of sustainable firms, green bonds and sustainable financial instruments.

Jane D'Arista
All Fall Down traces the ways in which changes in financial structure and regulation eroded monetary control and led to historically high levels of debt relative to GDP in both developed and emerging economies. Rising stocks of debt drove the global financial system into crisis in 2008 when households, businesses, financial institutions and the public sector in some countries strained to generate sufficient income for debt service. The stagnation and fall in asset prices that followed began the process of unwinding that led to a run on the financial sector by the financial sector. Learn More

The Ecology of Tax Systems
Vito Tanzi
This groundbreaking book analyzes how the ecology of taxation is fundamental for the success or failure of tax systems. It specifically focuses on the role of the ecological environment on taxation; the factors that determine the ecology of taxation; and how the ecology of taxation has changed and may continue to evolve. The implicit, important conclusion is that there are no permanent or universal optimal tax theories: all theories are related to this ecology. Learn More

Firms, Finance and Sustainable Transitions
Edgardo Sica
This thought-provoking book introduces a financial economics perspective to the topic of eco-innovations and, more generally, sociotechnical transitions. It develops a model that illustrates how financial constraints can prevent the development of eco-innovations within companies and hinder the transition process towards a more sustainable regime. Edgardo Sica presents a review of the state of the art, as well as new data from original surveys aimed at testing the impact of financial constraints on eco-innovative decisions at radical and niche levels. Learn More
Financial Models and Society
Ekaterina Svetlova
This innovative book employs the social studies of finance approach which aims to enhance the dialogue between finance and sociology by addressing the blind spots of economic and financial theories. In so doing, it challenges the accusations made towards financial models in the aftermath of the last economic crisis and argues that they cannot be condemned indiscriminately. Their influence on markets and society is not straightforward, but determined by the many ways in which models are created and then used. Ekaterina Svetlova analyses the various patterns of the application of models in asset management, risk management and financial engineering to demonstrate that their power is far more fragile than widespread criticism would indicate.

This book provides insights about the most important concepts in finance. Learn More


The client came to us after two failed attempts to refurbish and extend a substantial house in a Warwickshire Village setting.
The brief was to maximise the wonderful views over the garden and improve the living space to include a feature staircase and outside space for the first floor bedrooms.
The solution was to design a cantilever balcony over the living room and a two storey glazed extension to the kitchen, Flooding the internal space with natural light .
This scheme is completed and the clients are very happy. See the clients thoughts below…..


Baileys Yellow Cake: (Favorite One-Egg Cake recipe from McCalls cookbook, with Baileys substituted for some of the liquid) 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan, and a 6 x 9 x 2 inch pan, or whatever combination of pans that will hold 1½ times the amount that a 13 x 9 x 2 pan holds.
2. Mix the flour with the salt and baking powder. Mix the Baileys with the milk.
3. Using electric mixer, cream the shortening with the sugar. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat well. Add the flour mixture, alternately with the Baileys and milk mixture. Beat for 2 minutes.
4. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pans, then drop large spoonfuls of the Baileys Swirl (recipe below) into the pans alternately with large spoonfuls of the cake batter. Swirl with knife or fork to get a marbled effect.
5. Bake about 25-35 minutes, or until surface springs back when lightly pressed with fingertip.
6. Let cool, then spread with Baileys glaze (recipe below).
Note: actually the cookbook called for the shortening and milk to be added together to the flour, but that didn't make any sense to me, so I changed it to the method I'm familiar with, where the shortening and sugar are creamed together first. I used butter for the shortening, since that was all I had available. I guess you could use margarine or a solid vegetable fat like Crisco.
Baileys Swirl (Cream Cheese Frosting recipe in McCalls cookbook, with Baileys and white chocolate added): 1. With electric mixer, beat cheese with butter and vanilla until creamy 2. Add the confectioners sugar; beat until light and fluffy.
3. Stir in the Baileys and white chocolate, and mix well.
Baileys glaze: Mix ¾ cup Baileys with 1 cup of the powdered sugar. Add more Baileys if the glaze is too thick; add more sugar if the glaze is too thin. Add more Baileys and sugar if there isn't enough glaze.
Sorry to be so imprecise, but I didn't really keep track of the amounts while I was doing this, since I had to leave in 15 minutes with the cake! The really fun thing was trying to explain to people what was in the cake! The non-Americans didn't understand the concept of cream cheese frosting at all. It was really hard to explain what frosting is, and I realized this is because over here, either a cake is dusted with powdered sugar (i.e. carrot cake is dusted with powdered sugar here), or it is topped with a thin glaze, or it is "frosted" but with whipped cream or a recipe containing mostly whipped cream.

Hi, I finished my tm3030 and I do not get a note, I just hear the sound of the VCF with white noise, it was not the sound of a TB303, and I have a low volume, which is strange is that all controls work (except to accent, but I could not yet launched sequence I think it is normal), LEDs operate as it receives the GATE and SLIDE . PSU trimmer works well, it shows 5.333V and it remains to this position. I noticed that when I press scarcely the WAVE SWITCH, when TM3030 is connected to my chromatic tuner, my tuner display changes to show me different notes, but the audio is still the same. I have no audio tone, that I play C4 or C3 or another note, I have only a little white noise with the sound of the VCF, because I had to touch the POTS CUTOFF, RES ENV. MOD, etc. to hear a sound. anyone know what to check please ?
It sounds like the VCO is not working. The most common cause for this is incorrect transistors in positions Q3, Q4 and Q5. Ensure that these are BC182L and BC212L devices and not BC182 and BC212.
Getting Q1 and Q2 mixed up will also cause a failure to oscillate.
hi tony! I just checked Q3, Q4, Q5 and Q3 is a BC212, Q4 and Q5 is a BC182LB is BC182L, so I do not know if it's because of that, but it is elby guy who sent me these pieces, and the bags there wrote BC212L for Q3 which is actually a BC212, and the other bag there wrote BC182L for Q4 and Q5, but inside there was only one good, the other being a BC182LB, after I'm no expert, maybe for the Q4 BC182LB can work? Regarding Q1 and Q2, I have not used 2SK30A FET-O, I used two J201 FET Q2 and Q35, I noticed that for Q18, the elby guy sold me a 2SK30A Y-FET instead of a 2SK30 Y-FET is that this piece can cause problem too? I wait forward to your response, I hope it will work. Thank you for your reply.
Sorry for not replying sooner. For some reason I didn't see your post.
That there is your problem. The oscillator won't work with BC212. You need a BC212L.
This is fine. The A is quite often missed off on parts lists because it is always there.
hi tony! thank you for confirming my questions, that's what I feared, so I ordered a BC212L it just arrived today I'm going to change the piece just now, I would affirm on this post if my TM3030 works! thank you again, I cross my fingers so that this is just this piece that enpeche the functioning!

U City TIF advances after months of contention over future of 3rd Ward
St. Louis Public Radio | By Ashley Lisenby
Carolina Hidalgo | St. Louis Public Radio
Jeffrey Plaza on Olive Boulevard, near Interstate 170 is a part of this well-known business district dubbed the Olive Link.
The University City Tax Increment Financing commission approved a proposal Thursday that would release millions of dollars in money for development in the 3rd Ward. The commission voted 10-2 in favor of the financing plan.
But residents remained split on how the city should bring those improvements to fruition.
Much of the redevelopment proposal hinges on the first phase of the plan secured by local company Novus Development. The plans would bring big box retail and high-end living to a location near Interstate 170 and Olive Boulevard.
The developer has requested a combination of TIF and Community Improvement District funds totaling $70 million to begin the project.
Mayor Terry Crow said the purpose of the proposed development is to secure the economic future of the community.
"This project was never supposed to be about Novus, Jonathan Browne (the developer), or Costco (the proposed big box retailer)," Crow said. "This proposal was about two things. It was about stabilizing and increasing our tax base and allocating funds for investment in the 3rd Ward to help our citizens. That's the genesis of this project."
City Manager Gregory Rose said at the meeting that $10 million dollars of TIF funds would go to home improvements and home ownership initiatives in the 3rd Ward. Another $5 million would go to Olive Boulevard improvements.
Months of community meetings still haven't changed some people's minds about the three-part project along Olive Boulevard that would cost nearly $190 million. Proponents of the plan say investment is needed in the area that has struggled to rebound from the recession.
"I have invested my life savings and my retirement funds in property in the 3rd Ward," said resident Kathy Straatmaan. "I mean, seriously, my neighbors have lost equity and value in their homes and if this doesn't go, there is no place to go. This is what we have to do."
Straatmaan and other advocates for the proposal, including both 3rd Ward council members, said they fear continued decline in the area, without public and private investment in housing and business.
But opponents to the proposal said they worry gentrification and eminent domain could erode the city's racial, cultural and socioeconomic diversity. The city has rebutted these claims at various meetings, including at Thursday's public hearing.
For example, officials said that eminent domain would not be used in the case of owner occupied homes. The developer has negotiated contracts with most of the homeowners in the first development area, RPA 1, to buy their property, though.
Patricia Washington has been a vocal opponent of the proposal advancing without a Community Benefits Agreement. Some residents share her views, calling for a contract between residents and the developer that would secure affordable housing and jobs during development. TIF commissioners questioned relevance of such an agreement and who would oversee it.
"There was never any expectation, at least on our part, for those supporting and advocating a CBA, that this commission would do anything other than what they just did," Washington said after the commission's vote to recommend the proposal to the council.
University City Council still has to review the tax financing proposal.
"We recognize that this is only the beginning," Washington said. "There are many people in this community that will continue to voice their concern, file lawsuits, engage in direct action, do what is necessary to get (the elected officials) to at least listen and come to the table."

Port Parks' ARTISAN in residence
Bob Poull is no stranger to construction.
His father was a carpenter whose craft is memorialized in a woodworkers museum. Using exotic woods, he created lamps and vases and numerous other items.
Poull's brother Ted wrote a book about construction management and teaches the subject.
"I think it's all in our blood," Bob Poull said.
Bob worked in construction until the early 1980s when the industry began to struggle during a recession. Then he joined the City of Port Washington's street department and years later became the parks foreman.

Jim Chossek went out on top.
The Hall of Fame assistant football coach who helped guide Port Washington High School to its first state championship and Homestead to four titles won't be on the sideline again this fall.
Chossek turned 70 and said it was time to call it a career. He coached 44 of the last 47 years, taking a break when his wife beat breast cancer.
For years, it was just Chossek and legendary head coach Al Urness on the sideline of Port High football. They racked up eight conference titles and made the state final four times.

Scouting India
Jenna Szydel of Port Washington was a well-traveled Girl Scout, a veteran of visits to Costa Rico and Mexico. But those trips were nothing like her recent sojourn in the eastern hemisphere.
Two-and-a-half weeks in India gave the 2019 Port High graduate an immersion she will never forget in an exotic culture that contrasts radically with her life in small-town America.
The adventures started right after her 14-hour flight ended. Jenna and her Girl Scout group landed at 3 a.m. in Mumbai.

As a Cartoonist, He Plays a New Tune
Returning home helped James Murphy reacquaint himself with a lifelong dream.
In 2013, the Port Washington native, working as a professional musician, moved to Saukville from Milwaukee.
When visiting Port Washington High School a few years later, Murphy saw a mural he painted when he attended school there. It was a Mount Rushmore of jazz music, including heads of
Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Lionel Hampton.

The author who is a story himself
Life experience has given Andrew Roberts of Cedarburg enough material to write a book.
Three, actually, and a planned spinoff.
While the about the author section is enough to pique interest, a deeper dive makes for a compelling story itself, including high finance and spending time in wearing bulletproof vests crossing boarders in Middle East war zones.
Roberts is from Wales and attended a boarding school in Aska, just outside of London.
He grew up torn between seeking a career in politics or banking.

Meet the Director of Summer Fun
"Look at this face," McKenzie Prom said as a girl about 6 years old with dark brown hair in pink shades and a pink tank top smiled at her.
Moments later, a boy placed two rocks in front of Prom at the picnic table where she was sitting.
"Are they mine now?" she asked.
"No," the boy said as he walked off with his friends.
That's what Prom loves about her job in the Summer Playground Program offered by the Port Washington Parks and Recreation Department.
"I honestly like hanging out with these kids. They are so awesome," she said.

Save the orchids
"Save the orchids" isn't a rallying cry emblazoned on T-shirts and bumper stickers, but a group at Riveredge Nature Center would be just fine with it if it were.
Riveredge's first executive director, Andy Larsen, was greeted with five different kinds of native orchids when he came to the nature preserve along of Highway Y in the Town of Saukville decades ago.
With the plants now in threatened status, a small team is leading the charge to "bring back Andy's orchids," Riveredge Land Manager Matt Smith said.

He lights up the sky
There's more to a fireworks show than meets the eyes and ears, according to Dan Benning of Port Washington.
About five to seven hours more, the Port Washington resident said.
Benning said that's one element people often don't realize while admiring the spectacular display of pyrotechnic devices.
Even for a 20-minute show, he said, "You're talking four or five hours of setup and one to two hours of cleanup."

Driven to ride
Russ Kempka of Grafton showed his newly purchased bike to his wife after he came back from the store.
"Oh, that's beautiful," she said, and then inquired about the price.
Kempka wouldn't tell her and began walking up the driveway with it.
She persisted and followed her husband, but stubbed her toe on the way to the house.
"I'm not telling you. You're mad now," Kempka said.
Kempka bought the bike in 2010 after his doctor in 2010 told him he had a fatty liver and should lose some weight.

Discussion in 'Game Support' started by MinerMario2, Feb 14, 2019.
Now, listen Starmade devs, you have NOT abandoned your game in any way shape or form. You have been focusing on DEVELOPING this game. now, it may be time to take a pause and look at the tiny amount of servers.
but who knows, maybe the 13 year old making this post asked his dad for this game around 2 years ago. this game was amazing, and the servers were AMAZING. lots of people to make enemies and friends, fight together, or against. Adress this issue, PLEASE.
TEMPORARILY make this game FREE TO PLAY, kids usually browse there for something to do.
ADVRETISE. I have no idea wether or not you have enough money for these sorts of things, but if you do, ADVRETISE.
on rust you may see a lot of official servers that have tons of players in them, lots more than the community ones.
TRY TO RESPOND TO THE COMMUNITY.
the community, everyone, likes to have their favorite developers respond and adress and issue in their game. I havent done enough research to know if you have alrready done this, but if you havent been keeping up to date with this stuff, try to more often.
This issue has already been Adressed, Schine is aware of the current state of affairs and has stated they are/were happy with the amount of players from the initial "Alpha" release.
2. It is a known fact they have been holding back with Advertising until the game is in a better "state" and will when they are ready.
3. there are 2 "official" servers + 1 for streams StarMade-Servers.
P.S. It may currently seem like daedgaem, but it is not a"dead game".
There are not alot of Shine members interacting in the forums, they all use the Discord chat.
On the one hand team Shine doesn't like if people talk rude on the forums - and ultimately left it in favour of discord, on the other hand they didn't had the guts to moderate them in a strict way.
On the official servers, that's were all the adventures are happening, because admins are really invested and excited about doing stuff there.
Oh, on discord, you couldn't imagine how passionate Schema and his Schine Minions are engaged in discussion about StarMade. You can really feel how they are reaching out to the community and are working hard to make Starmade great again.
Forums are just so old school. And some people were rude for really unknown reasons, so some devs ran away to discord, the new happy place, where they won't shut up.
Development may be slow. But only because they develop so carefully. That's why all the past major updates had such high quality.
It isn't really a dead game, there is still the the three of us, who are true believers to the end. "3" is a good number as community size. Schema is completely aware of this. He wants it to be this way. It's better for alpha testing, because it's like friendship, quality over quantity.
Low player numbers are due to the game not being very fun to play right now.
Or have a go at killing a ship with this core-drilling 2.0 system; Even SysHP made more sense than exclusively shooting the reactor apart.
Or watch in dismay as the nonsensical "reactor stabilizers" take up the room you wanted to use for something else. They don't do anything, they are just an arbitrary requirement to be fulfilled!
Or realize the ""chamber"" (ptoooey! Just call them modules! They are not rooms!) system works on fixed percentages, and there's only so many effects you can add to your ship; Maybe the maximum number of supported modules could be a dynamic amount, dependant on the relation between your ship's and reactor's mass.
Yes, you could build two separate reactors with different modules, and switch over to the one you need, but that'll give your ship exactly half the power it'd actually need to function.
Maybe take twice as much time adding shields to your ship because now you need to keep them grouped.
And even if you look past all these and other problems, and invest your time in playing on a server, it just gets wiped in a few weeks because the game is unstable and performance is dropping.
-Apart from that last issue, my list could be comfortably fixed in a week, yet the team would rather focus on convoluted and useless stuff.
Example; NPC update! NPC factions and fleets for the game!
-Effect 1; Asteroids are eaten up everywhere.
Full throttle, Jerry! Don't mind the lag!
Yeah I know. The Universe Update will hopefully address a lot of gameplay issues. Hopefully that will bring a lot of players back or draw in new players, and when Schine believes the time is right they will stat advertising this game. However they don't want to bring players into an unstable game and then have them all rage quit.
"The 'X' update will bring players back." What has this opinion ever been based on? I'm here trying to remember a previous update that brought in players who stayed as opposed to driving players away.
Don't worry starfrens, the game will have tens of thousands of players once it's in beta! It's alpha, you retards! Just a testing phase! Soon!
In actuality, multiplayer could be popping if Schine supported community drafted vanilla configs, despite all the bugs.
Yeah if they supported it correctly it would work. For example with giving (maintaining after getting suggestions from player made configs) like 4 different main configs, one for pvp one for lets say...creative, one for pvp version 2 and a 4th one idk.
I'm sure they have already. However, there's really no magic wand they can wave to address this. Likely the best thing for them to do is finish "DEVELOPING" (with community input, hopefully) the core gameplay, polishing some things up, and then start looking more at community outreach and the like once the game itself is less unstable, incomplete, and... to be quite frank... hostile to prospective players in several respects.
It already is, though they could perhaps make that a bit clearer. IDK.
Advertising the product in its current state is... not advisable. Better to get the universe overhaul/AI revamp/etc. done, polish things up, then start advertising in a year or two, when they can be a bit more confident that most of the players they bring in won't just immediately leave the game.
That's a can of worms that I can understand why they don't want to get into. Moderating and managing the potential mess that is a major official StarMade server is not and should not be their priority right now.
Also, to others here: Say what you will about the move, the Discord format has generated some of the most productive discussions and exchanges between the playerbase and Schine that I've yet seen. Even the bug reporting process seems to be more efficiently run informally via Discord support channel and DM's than formally via Phabricator.
Maybe the galaxy update? Either way, a large fraction of past major updates (fleet, NPC, even to some extent power...) have largely been half-hearted window dressing and some random small game features on top of technical changes that are needed for future development and don't really help gameplay much as they are. The NPC and fleet updates would have brought players back had they been packaged with release-quality front-end behaviors, gameplay tech, and assets, but as it turns out that wasn't feasible because that would've required an AI rewrite and several other things, which would've required new systems to already have been implemented, which would've required the months of underlying work for that to have been done... etc. So, instead, as usual, what we got was the NPC faction framework and the fleet framework that are sufficient for them to move on with development that requires those things to be functional, but a buggy and not-particularly-useful set of physical features we as players can work with. The universe update is supposed to include more fleshed-out player-facing features along with several changes and features that are desperately needed to slow down player attrition (factory/industry revamp and faction/empire building being the major ones), but we'll see. If it does, it should give player retention something of a boost.
Development is slow because... well, development (especially with just one person) takes time, and the updates are 'low-quality' for reasons more or less explained above. I don't know what you're expecting w/r/t/ dev communication; they obviously can't spend all that much time on Discord or the forums and regardless player/dev communication post-Discord has gone from almost nil to... surprisingly decent, actually. The game is certainly more or less 'dead' as far as player population goes; Schine is indeed aware of this, and while obviously not great, it's kind of inevitable. Large official servers would be a massive can of worms that I can definitely understand why they would not want to open.
Don't get me wrong, Schine (and for that matter the moderation staff) have done some things that are pointless at best and laughable at worst, but y'all are picking strange targets.
lol my gaming network (Novus Galaxy) is operating a starmade server such that it won't simply die off like other servers on the game have. We're also working on making our config more noob-friendly, but the biggest hurtle is getting the configs to stick through updates. Once we get that nail hammered in then we'll have a solid foundation for carrying the game. I'm also looking into diversifying my server offerings though, but now that I've got a system in place for it, I don't have to worry about whether or not I can afford to host all the servers, cos well... We're expanding as I have the money long-term.
And as for "TEMPORARILY make this game FREE TO PLAY, kids usually browse there for something to do." in the suggestions... Uh... It IS free to play if you download the standalone. Through steam you pay the "donation" price for the game.
As it currently stands though, the game is for all intents and purposes, a dead game. I saw upwards of 60 players on a single server before the power 2.0 update dropped... Now? You're lucky if you see 10 people on a single server. Until the devs either A: completely rollback the power 2.0 update ob B: remake the way the power works again, the game will not be noob-friendly... And server owners like me who have fond memories spanning years on the game will have to learn how to code basically jsut so they can make our servers noob-friendly to bring in new players.
I myself am starting to drift away from the game, but if/when it gets better I'll return.
Shameless plug, but if you wanna check out my network (we're getting a minecraft server sometime around july), just go to discord.me/novusgalaxy and join the discord :3 All of the information I believe is useful for players to know is publicly available, no matter the server.
the biggest hurtle is getting the configs to stick through updates.
Try using the intended CustomFolderStuff!
It is there just for that reason!
Through steam you pay the "donation" price for the game.
"PLAY THE FULL ALPHA FOR FREE THROUGH THE DEMO!
We are currently offering the full version of the game for free on our demo. This will be throughout Alpha as we believe a user wanting to purchase an open alpha game, should get to try out and test the current full state of the game first. We also need as many testers as possible, your reports, feedback and input is invaluable!"
Both of these won't happen ever. And we don't need it as P2.0 isn't the main problem here. Weapons balance, missing and broken features are more important problems IMO. And as far as P2.0 can be weird, I think it's still better and open to change than P1.0.
Lol the "demo" is just the version you can download FOR FREE on the official site... Difference is, you don't need steam to run it. Also, notice that I stated that on steam the "full" version is actually the "donation" price. There's 2 types of registry account here: upgraded and not upgraded.
we don't need it as P2.0 isn't the main problem here.
If Power 2.0 isn't the problem then please, explain to me why as soon as the update dropped, I saw servers that had upwards of 40 players on *during the quietest hours* suddenly drop to at most ~20 players at PEAK population time. This is BEFORE the weapons update, as well, mind you... So if p2.0 (aka the power system the entire community told schine we didn't want) isn't the main issue, then why did the community implode as soon as that update dropped?
Maybe because people seem to dislike deep changes ? And maybe because of the stupidly huge amount of salt dropped during these months from both of the sides ?
Idk why I would still argue here about old and finished battles. There won't be any deep change in power, regardless what you can think of it. It's too late for them to change it anyway. They're close to begin the Universe Update, which needs basic game systems to be set, for example to properly integrate the universe events with ship functions like sensors affected by nebula and defensive chambers used near stars.
I think (and hope xD) there will be more people interested by the exploration and PvE content of the next major update than what we lost with these updates.

Also a "big" Yes this!
with the upcoming Uni-Update, Beta-phase, Bug-fix-phase, finished Produkt, and the planned advertising, "StarMade 2020" is looking good! (imo*).
Please remember folks, StarMade is made with the intention, that you can customize almost everything!
From SystemConfigs all the way to Content, isn't that awesome!?!
What other game does this? StarMade is doing things... nobody does!
Only "You", the "Players", can make each world "Special"!
Even though this company named "Schine" is making StarMade, it is really just all the people you see on our about page. Real people, no anonymous "the devs". Indie game development isn't a very lucrative job. The reason why we're making StarMade is not for money. It's because we love this game and want to see it done! At the same time we try to be as fair as possible to our players. That's why we never made too big promises to generate empty hype and always kept a free version of the game to try out before buying.
As said, we are not in this to get rich. All of us are putting in a lot of hours and extra hours into making StarMade without much or no pay. I'm only taking what I need to live to make sure that even in the absolute worst case, we will be able to continue developing and finish the game.
This isn't meant as a complaint about criticism, it is a clarification. We don't dislike or ignore critical commentary, as long as it's constructive. On the contrary, we think that constructive criticism is the most helpful. However, a lot of the repeating criticism is already addressed and planned for internally. The reason we don't go public with those plans is, that even if it would reassure some of the critics, we have a principle to never sell complete promises without something to show on it.
Of course, in the long run that is sometimes unavoidable and we are guilty of doing so a few times in the past few years, but we aren't afraid to scrap things if they turn out to be a wrong direction. This has always been our main principle and we drastically improved internal organization and planning to avoid false announcements in the future.
We will press on to finish this game with even more effort than before! Be assured of that!
Lol the "demo" is just the version you can download FOR FREE on the official site... Difference is, you don't need steam to run it. Also, notice that I stated that on steam the "full" version is actually the "donation" price.
Exactly my point. You appeared to not know that in your post.
lol yeah no. I know that a lot of players have fond memories of Power 1.0. I can vouch for it being extremely noob unfriendly. That stupid system where you need the shaped reactor was really hard to learn AND build with. The "everything's linear" now systems are much better imo. Also cubes are just more intuitive than lines I think. Also also a lot of people like P2.0 and there is no way Schema is reverting. Quite frankly, if you don't like Power 2.0 you are perfectly free to play version 0.199.654A.
Are there any Populated servers?

Rwanda Development Board has launched Kwita Izina activities a head of the official event scheduled on September 1, as the board kick start the World Tourism month.
This year's event marks the 13th edition of the annual event that attracts thousands of tourists from across the globe to celebrate the country's success in protecting the endangered primates.
According to RDB's Chief Tourism Officer, Belise Kariza, this year's event is a confirmation of the country's focus in enhancing awareness on sustainably maintaining biodiversity.
"Rwanda's tourism journey has been more rewarding because of the involvement of local communities within the entire sector in the past decade," Kariza said told reporters on Wednesday.
Tourism is Rwanda's biggest foreign-exchange earner and contributes about 115 to the $8 billion economy.
"We are targeting $440 million from tourism sector this year compared to $404 million collected in 2016 from 1.4 million visitors," Kariza said.
Gorilla tourism remains the backbone of Rwanda's tourism and conservation industry, and the board pledges to continue to leverage on platforms such as Kwita Izina by joining hands with experts in conservation to ensure the long term sustainability of endangered species.
Last month, RDB hiked gorilla trekking tariff to $1,500 from $750, and according to Kariza, the increase in rates hasn't affected the number of gorilla trekking permits sold.
"We have not been affect by the hike of the tariff because there is a unique group of tourists who understood that the hike was about protecting conservation," she explained.
Normally Rwanda issues only 80 single permits per day to visit the gorillas, limiting groups to 10 people. Last year alone RDB sold out 22,219 permits.
Since the launch of Kwita Izina in 2005, a total of 239 mountain baby gorillas have been named. The success has been unmatched and this year RDB expects over and above positive outcomes.
According to RDB officials, as a way of promoting local tourism, they are launching a domestic tourism campaign dubbed "Tembera U Rwanda' following Kwita Izina 2017, where a mini draw promotion event will be held on July 4. Lucky winners will be gifted with an opportunity to visit the gorillas in November 2017.

Michael Jordan Update: Man Accused Of Killing Jordan's Dad Wants New Trial
Gregory Shamus / Getty Images
Leigh Egan
Daniel Andre Green, a man serving a life sentence for murdering Michael Jordan's father, James R. Jordan, Sr., requested a new trial this Wednesday. Green's attorneys filed the request at a North Carolina Superior Court, claiming false evidence was presented during the 1996 murder trial against their client.
According to the Charlotte Observer, Green's attorneys are asking for a new trial after indicating that multiple things were amiss during the 1996 trial, including incorrect blood evidence information.
The new trial request stems from the July 23, 1993 incident in which Green, along with co-defendant Larry Martin Demery, saw a red Lexus SC400 on the shoulder of State Road 74, close to Lumberton, North Carolina. Jordan, Sr., the owner of the Lexus, was inside the car, taking a nap.
The duo pulled up behind the car, walked up to Jordan, Sr., and shot him to death. Demery claimed that they only realized who the victim was after going through his belongings. After shooting him, they stole Jordan, Sr.'s cellphone and two NBA rings given to him by Michael Jordan.
The suspects were arrested rather quickly, after using the stolen cellphone to make a series of phone calls. Once arrested, Demery told police that the plan was to tie the victim up, but Green, seemingly out of nowhere, shot and killed Jordan, Sr. Subsequently, Green was found guilty of murder in 1996, but maintains that he never pulled the trigger.
In 2010, Green's attorneys cited an outside audit, provided by the FBI, indicating that State Bureau of Investigation didn't handle the case correctly. The attorneys claim that information regarding blood evidence was greatly falsified, not only in Green's case, but a total of 190 cases between the years 1987-2003. Every case handled incorrectly, according to Green's lawyers, resulted in convictions.
Green's lawyers assert that not only was the blood evidence in the case mishandled, but that Green himself wasn't provided with appropriate legal representation during his previous trial. The attorneys' preliminary statement indicates that Green still maintains his innocence of shooting Jordan, Sr., but admits to helping Demery hide the victim's body during the aftermath.
The statement also indicates that the only evidence tying Green to the crime scene was a small amount of blood found on the driver's seat. The blood evidence testimony came from S.B.I. Agent Jennifer Elwell, who is now accused of misleading the jury with false information. Court documents show that Elwell now states that if she had to testify again, she would not say for certain that the substance found in Jordan, Sr.'s car was indeed blood.
Per Southern Coalition for Social Justice lawyer Ian Mance, a drug deal that went awry was the primary reason behind the murder, and that Green was not even present when the crime took place. If the blood evidence information was truly mishandled, Mance states that there is nothing proving that Green shot Jordan, Sr.
"The blood evidence was critical to securing Mr. Green's conviction because it was the only physical evidence supporting Larry Demery's version of events."
Demery, who is up for parole in 2016, is said to have made deal with the prosecution to implicate Green in exchange for a lighter sentence.


"Just 100 yards away is a school, and the kids were out playing ball in the road just an hour before."
An elderly woman has died after a van crashed into her house in Clevedon.
The woman, who has not yet been named, was inside her semi-detached home when a van smashed "straight through her living room".
It happened at around 8.30pm on Wednesday, April 18.
A man and a woman who were in the car have been arrested but so far no further details have been released from Avon and Somerset police who remain at the scene this morning (Thursday, April 19).
Neighbours were also evacuated for the whole night amid fears of a gas leak following the crash.
Paul Tree, 63, who also lives on Yeolands Drive said: "We were sat in the front room watching TV, the wife and I, when a couple of emergency service vehicles went by, flashing.
"It was obvious something had happened.
"Then there was a whole convoy of flashing vehicles that rushed by and I opened the front door to see the street full of emergency services gathered.
"I walked around to see.
"People said that there was an elderly lady in the property. People said she was in her 90s. I don't know her though.
"The van had gone straight through the property.
"It was the lady's living room.
"Walking around the area this morning people are stopping each other and talking about it.
"Just 100 yards away is a local school, and the kids were out playing ball in the road just an hour before.
"They pulled the van out. It was a white Transit-sized van."
A spokesperson for Avon Fire and Rescue Service said they had to call in their specialist urban search and rescue team because of the damage to the building.
It was 1.30am when the last crew was able to leave the scene.

Ex-NFL Player Ryan O'Callaghan On Being An LGBTQ+ Athlete
Former NFL player Ryan O'Callaghan spent years in the closet — now he's encouraging other LGBTQ+ athletes to follow their dreams no matter what.
"I think any young athletes out there just needs to continue to follow your dreams, and, you know, unapologetically just continue to be yourself, and, you know, even if you're uncomfortable, know that the world will catch up," he stated. "I just say keep following your dream and don't let, especially your sexuality, you know, be an excuse for not making it."
O'Callaghan struggled with his identity for years and turned to football as a way to hide his sexuality. He stayed in the closet for years, including during his six seasons in the NFL, because he was worried his family wouldn't accept him.
"My family's known for a good four or five now, I came out publicly last year, but ever since I came out, they've been very supportive," he explained. "I mean, it's always great to know that your family loves you. I mean, the whole reason I was so deep in the closet is that I thought they never would."
He is also starting the Ryan O'Callaghan Foundation to give scholarships to LGBTQ+ athletes.

George Pusenkoff
Mona Lisa Travels
George Pusenkoff unites in his work two realms that have rarely been so intimately linked: the history of art and culture in the modern era, and the world of digital imaging involving the new media and computer technology. Many of Pusenkoff's motifs originate from the visual agenda of the last hundred years. Above all, he regularly returns to such icons of Modernist painting, citing them and transposing them into a new visual aesthetic. But more than any other image from the history of art, it is Leonardo da Vinci's of the "Mona Lisa" that occupies centre stage in his creative interests. George Pusenkoff has translated Leonardo's beauty with the help of the computer and digital media technology into a visual language that fits our times, and opened up new levels of interpretation. This is especially true of his conceptual works based on this famous portrait, as for instance the photographically documented voyage of his version of the "Mona Lisa" painted in yellow and black as it travelled through Russia and ultimately space. The truly astonishing voyages that the work has undergone are no less part of the catalogue Mona Lisa Travels than Pusenkoffs "Tower Mona Lisa".

Arthur Hendrick Vandenberg, född 22 mars 1884 i Grand Rapids, Michigan, död 18 april 1951 i Grand Rapids, Michigan, var en amerikansk republikansk politiker och publicist. Han representerade delstaten Michigan i USA:s senat från 1928 fram till sin död. Han bidrog till skapandet av Förenta nationerna. Han var tillförordnad talman i senaten, president pro tempore of the United States Senate samt ordförande i senatens utrikesutskott 1947–1949.

Vandenberg studerade juridik vid University of Michigan. Han var ansvarig utgivare för Grand Rapids Herald 1906–1928. Senator Woodbridge Nathan Ferris avled 1928 i ämbetet och efterträddes av Vandenberg. Han var först en varm anhängare av Herbert Hoover men blev sedan frustrerad med regeringens politik under den stora depressionen.

Vandenberg stödde Franklin D. Roosevelts tidiga New Deal-reformer under Roosevelts två första år som president. Han var sedan en frän kritiker av Roosevelt fram till utbrottet av andra världskriget. Vandenberg kallade Roosevelt "diktator" och förespråkade skattesänkningar i stället för flera reformer. På republikanernas konvent inför presidentvalet 1936 bestämde sig Vandenberg för att inte ställa upp som vicepresidentkandidat, eftersom han insåg faran för den kommande valförlusten. Republikanerna förlorade stort i det presidentvalet. Vandenberg fick röster i nomineringen av presidenkandidat på republikanernas konvent både 1940 och 1948.

Vandenberg förespråkade hjälp till Finland under vinterkriget men ville helst hålla USA utanför andra världskriget. Han var i första hand isolationist, med vissa undantag som frågan om medlemskap i Internationella mellanfolkliga domstolen, men han ändrade sig gradvis efter attacken mot Pearl Harbor. Vandenberg förblev kritisk mot Roosevelts inrikespolitik men under krigstiden visade han allt starkare stöd för den internationalistiska utrikespolitiken. I ett tal inför senaten den 10 januari 1945 förkunnade han att han hade övergett isolationismen och blivit internationalist. Den nya ståndpunkten gällde inte minst grundandet av FN som han stödde. Som ordförande i utrikesutskottet 1947–1949 stödde Vandenberg Trumandoktrinen, Marshallplanen och grundandet av Nato. Vandenbergresolutionen av år 1948 innebar ett viktigt steg mot ett starkare transatlantiskt samarbete. Senator Vandenberg avled 1951 i ämbetet och efterträddes av Blair Moody.

Vandenberg var kongregationalist och frimurare. Han var av holländsk härkomst. Han gravsattes på Oakhill Cemetery i Grand Rapids.

Defense Speak Interpreted: DARPA ERI
DARPA ERI stands for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Electronics Resurgence Initiative. This tongue-twisting acronym is the latest Department of Defense (DoD) effort to catch up and surpass world semiconductor technology for the secure IC chips needed by advanced defense electronics systems. First, it is a recognition that integrated circuit technology at secure IC defense facilities is losing ground to the commercial sector—especially offshore. Second, this initiative is much more comprehensive than past efforts, and the first time I have seen some mention of electronics systems packaging (printed circuits).
The ERI was announced on June 1, 2017, with projected funding of approximately $150 billion. The ERI project rollout is in phases with newer projects building on prior successes. The whole effort is anticipated to take at least five years.
The base organization for the ERI is the Joint University Microelectronics Program (JUMP). That includes six university centers and 11 manufacturing organizations and will be funded for approximately $200 million over five years to define the needed efforts in the whole ERI.
The three initial focus areas announced were architectures, design, and materials and integration. From DARPA's own website:
The architectures thrust asks whether the electronics community can enjoy the benefits of specialized circuitry while still relying on general programming constructs through the proper software and hardware co-design
The designs thrust asks whether the electronics community can dramatically lower the barriers to modern system-on-chip design and unleash a new era of circuit and system specialization and innovation
The materials and integration thrust asks whether the integration of unconventional materials can enhance conventional silicon circuits and continue the progress traditionally associated with scaling
Overall, the ERI effort "aims to forge forward-looking collaborations among the a) commercial electronics community, b) defense industrial base, c) university researchers, and d) the DoD to create a more specialized, secure, and heavily automated electronics industry that serves the needs of both the domestic commercial and defense sectors." The mechanism of the ERI is through project grants and is made up of phases.
Six initial awards were announced in April of 2018 with more publicity at the first ERI summit in late July 2018 in San Francisco. These were not called Phase 1 but Page 3, referring to the predictions from the original Gordon Moore 1965 paper—what to do when Moore's law runs out of steam[1]—in case you want to go back 53 years. Of course, everyone remembers the Moore prediction on Page 2 that transistors on chips double every 18–24 months.
Interestingly, the arrow in the center of the ERI logo (Figure 1) points to two possible semiconductor possibilities—the dotted line is the transistor density if no solutions are found to the limitations looming when Moore's law expires, or the continued upward trend arrow of electronics based on the success of this ERI effort to advance both defense and commercial electronics.
Figure 1: DARPA's ERI logo.
From the ERI start, a foundational program most relevant to electronic interconnection is CHIPS (Common Heterogeneous Integration and IP Reuse Strategies). The subtitle to the project is "Modular electronics systems that can leverage the best of DoD and commercial designs and technologies." Perhaps you have heard the term "chiplets" to refer to this concept—joining standard slivers of silicon from computation, memory, I/O, and timing into a new, unique heterogeneous entity. This is envisioned to allow rapid DoD chip development. A close sister ERI design project (CRAFT) projects reducing the development time for unique defense chips from 170 weeks to 45 weeks.
Anyway, the following 17 participants in the CHIPS program have divided up into work teams: Georgia Tech, University of Michigan, North Carolina State, Cadence, Synopsys, Micross, Intrinsix, Jariet Technologies, Ferric Semicondutor, ON Semiconductor, Intel, NIST, General Electric, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman. The project team organization is presented in Figure 2 (SOTA = state-of-the-art):
Figure 2: Project team organization for CHIPS.
Besides being able to use small sections of dedicated silicon in a unique circuit, CHIPS will allow different semiconductor materials to be integrated (e.g., indium phosphide, gallium nitride, gallium arsenide, etc.). And CHIPS builds from a previous, little-recognized DARPA program from 2012 called DAHI (Diverse Accessible Heterogeneous Integration). This was an initial effort to integrate various substrate materials into a combined device. Figure 3 gives a view of the opportunity for the CHIPS program.
Figure 3: CHIPS opportunity.
The ERI also authorized two Page-3 programs of interest to electronics interconnection, and under the materials thrust. The FRANC (Foundations Required for Novel Compute) program which focuses on revolutionary new materials and the 3DSoC (Three Dimensional System on a Chip) that expands semiconductor technology into the Z-direction.
Now coming to the ERI awards in 2019 is PIPES (Photonics in the Package for Extreme Scalability) for integrating photonic signaling at the chip level. Also in the award cycle is T-MUSIC (Technologies for Mixed-mode Ultra-scaled Integrated Circuits) with proposers' day on January 19 to discuss the scope of this effort and proposal submission date—March 12. A typical Defense Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for research project proposals consists of announcement, optional public proposers day for questions, proposal submission, and project award[2].
If you are now fully confused with the DARPA ERI acronym alphabet soup, there are six more designated programs in the architectures and design thrusts that I have not described here. I will only be covering these in the future if they have an impact on the electronics interconnection.

WhatsApp Adjusts Privacy Policy Following GDPR Fine
23rd November 2021 23rd November 2021
WhatsApp has changed its privacy policy with immediate effective, following a €225m (£190m) GDPR fine issued by the Irish data protection watchdog in September.
As well as issuing the fine, the watchdog ordered WhatsApp to change its policies in the UK and Europe, which it is now doing, despite the fact that it is appealing against the fine. The new policy takes effect immediately.
However, in making the changes WhatsApp insisted that its service remains unchanged and that users will not be required to agree to anything or take any additional action in order to continue using the messaging platform. It also reiterated the fact that messages sent via WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted, so can only be read by the sender and recipient.
The new privacy policy contains much more information about what exactly is done with users' data, and how WhatsApp works with its parent company Meta, which also owns Facebook and Instagram.
The fine that WhatsApp received in September was the result of an investigation that ran over several years into how transparent WhatsApp was regarding the handling of user information. The Irish watchdog originally proposed a fine of €30m-50m, but increased the amount to €225m after consulting with regulators in other EU countries.
