I have been working on this game for a few years now. It was originally a project for my computer science class, but making a multiplayer fps game is a big task therefore I have been working on it little by little for a while now.
This is a multiplayer first person shooter game. Inspired by games like Call Of Duty, Battlefield, and Rainbow six siege. I have had dreams of making a multiplayer game that has many different game modes to play with your friends a lot like minecraft does. But making a multiplayer game especially on your own is extremely time consuming. Currently this game is definitely still under development and far from being finished if ever! I hope to someday finish it though.
Right now there are two game modes. On normal free for all game mode where the objective is to get the most kills. The other game mode is inspired by on of my favorite games Rainbow Six Siege. This game mode consists of two teams, attackers and defenders. Where the objective is to attack or defend a building. In the future I have plans to add more game modes like battle royal, racing, survival, wave based co-op, and many more!
Developing this game was my first experience with any network related programming. I have discovered that it is really complicated sometimes but also so cool. I started off watching tutorials on youtube at first, but then eventually was able to pick it up myself and go from there.
Developing a multiplayer game just has so many more steps to it. For example, if you add a new feature to the game you first have to actually make that feature, but then also program it to sync to the server and all the other clients. This makes adding features a lot more difficult. I have been able to make some modular scripts to help me with this process though.

SAP Signavio - A Suite and Services to Accelerate Business Transformation and ROI: Part 1
Laurel Nelson-Rowe
SAP is expanding the SAP Signavio brand and increasing resources behind the portfolio. ASUG discussed what the solution set delivers and how it acts as a business transformation accelerator with Wassilios Lolas, Global VP and Head of the Center of Excellence, SAP Signavio. SAP Signavio will be a focus topic at our upcoming ASUG Best Practices: SAP Center of Excellence conference. Learn more information about the event here.
The following is an edited version of our conversation.
Q: What currently comprises the SAP Signavio portfolio?
A: The SAP Signavio Business Process Transformation Suite includes:
There is also a set of related SAP services that helps customers along the life cycle of their business process transformation activities, from setting up the SAP Signavio Suite via an analysis of the current processes and the identification of improvement potentials, to the assessment of best practices and new process designs, and more.
Q: How does the portfolio relate to other key SAP business and technology strategies and platforms, including RISE with SAP, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Cloud, and the SAP Business Transformation Platform?
A: SAP Signavio is an integral part of the SAP strategy for and connected to all other components of the SAP intelligent, sustainable enterprise. It represents the top layer, which is about Business Process Management and industry-specific end-to-end processes.
RISE with SAP provides a clear, flexible path to becoming an intelligent enterprise. As a "business transformation as a service," it brings the right products and tools in one package and one contract to speed the cloud journey regardless of organizational size, industry, cloud readiness, customization, volume, or departure point.
RISE with SAP allows customers to adapt to fast-changing conditions; helps customers become more resilient, more efficient, and more agile; and makes innovation easier and faster. Because any business or digital transformation requires process transformation, SAP Signavio is a key element of RISE with SAP.
SAP Signavio business process transformation solutions help customers understand, improve, and transform business processes—fast and at scale—with a cloud-based process management platform. Transformations are faster and less risky because companies can quickly identify which processes are running poorly; evaluate whether the SAP best-practice processes apply to the specific situation; include end user (customer, partner, and/or employee) experience data; and get early buy in from stakeholders through collaboration.
RISE with SAP includes the SAP Signavio starter pack. Customers can use the starter pack to run a 50 GB one-time data load for SAP Signavio Process Insights, and from that, identify problem areas, get customized recommendations for process improvements, and begin to redesign processes. The starter pack includes:
SAP Signavio Process Insights (formerly SAP Process Insights) to identify, analyze, prioritize, and monitor critical business processes
SAP Signavio Process Manager (three users) and SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub (10 users): SAP Signavio Process Manager and SAP Signavio Process Collaboration Hub can be pre-populated with SAP best practices and help redesign and standardize processes to lay the foundation to continuously adapt business processes
Using SAP Signavio with SAP S/4HANA helps keep the focus on high-impact areas of the business, helping to improve change management processes and contributing to a faster adoption of change. SAP Signavio solutions are native cloud solutions, built for ease of use and scalability.
Q: When, how, and why should business leaders become familiar with SAP Signavio?
A: The ability to change business processes rapidly to meet new requirements is the fundamental competitive differentiator for businesses today. However, business leaders face challenges when trying to initiate and execute change, such as:
A lack of data and insights to make decisions with confidence
Difficulty finding or paying talent; difficulty finding highly qualified experts or consultants
Slow adoption of change or even resistance to change from the workforce
Given these circumstances, SAP Signavio delivers:
Rapid access to data-driven process insights, as well as access to customer and employee experience data to monitor the human impact of process changes
Tailored best practices for business processes and plug-and-play integration to reduce the need for management and technical consulting
Collaboration that involves the entire organization for early buy-in and less resistance to change from the workforce
Immediately (of course) is the best time for business leaders to become familiar with SAP Signavio. They can do this by inviting an SAP Signavio expert to chapter meetings, becoming a RISE with SAP customer for the starter pack, or visiting Signavio.com.
Q: What advantages does a business gain by using SAP Signavio tools and capabilities?
A: Our solutions let customers go beyond functional optimization (for supply chain, customer service, or manufacturing, etc.) to drive true transformation of cross-functional, end-to-end processes and to understand the impact of process changes on customers and employees.
For example, a retailer may decide to optimize for customer satisfaction, instituting new policies for unlimited exchanges and returns. However, excessive returns may create a problem for warehouse workers suddenly faced with higher-than-expected volumes. Alternatively, a manufacturing company may work to drive down costs in the plant, but this may limit customization, which in turn affects customer satisfaction. The only way to truly optimize is with a full end-to-end process view.
Digital transformation projects often fail because organizations vastly underestimate the need for proactive change management. SAP Signavio Collaboration Hub is designed to democratize change by pulling in ideas from anywhere in the organization and providing a central location for transparent discussions of ideas and development of new processes. By bringing in all stakeholders from the beginning, organizations see more buy-in and less resistance to change. Process transparency helps to quickly understand where process changes are required and meaningful.
For example, in a regulated industry such as banking, process changes needed for new regulations can be made faster because all employees involved know exactly where the changes will hit. Frontline workers can voice improvement ideas and managers have a broader view to help set priorities.
Q: What advantages does IT gain in using SAP Signavio tools and capabilities?
A: SAP Signavio facilitates collaboration and exchange between business, IT, and external consultants. To have a business transformation discussion in an organization, only a process-centric point of view provides the language needed to create common understanding across business organizations and IT teams. IT gains a better understanding of business strategy, goals, and pains, and can provide better-tailored innovations and improvements. Taking a process view of IT architecture helps IT manage complexity more effectively, as it allows a clear view of how operational systems interact with each other, and of the touchpoints for customers and employees. Collaboration Hub provides a centralized view of proposed changes. Process mapping and analysis provide IT with a clear view of their impact on business outcomes.
Q: Does an organization need to bring additional expertise and skills to best deploy and optimize SAP Signavio?
A: Most SAP Signavio solutions are designed to be easy to use, requiring little to no training. However, creating meaningful process transformation requires expertise and focus. We recommend creating a process center of excellence. Historically, many companies viewed process management as a way to ensure regulatory compliance, and processes were only reviewed or revised when mandated by regulatory changes. However, the most effective and successful organizations see the value in constant management and refinement of business processes so they can proactively improve efficiency and customer experience, as well as more readily adapt to shifts in markets and customer behavior.
Q: You contend that SAP Signavio is a business transformation accelerator. What do you mean by business transformation? What are some examples?
A: Business transformation involves a fundamental rethinking of customer experience, business models, and operations. It's about finding new ways to deliver value, generate revenue, and improve efficiency. The global pandemic provided several examples of business transformations:
Retailers, especially grocers, saw a massive shift toward online shopping.
All businesses had to review their supply chains and become more agile and resilient given disrupted supply chains.
Manufacturers had to run smaller shifts and pause operations to clean.
Public and private health-care systems had to change hiring, onboarding, training/upskilling practices to try to meet extraordinary demands for care.
Knowledge workers went remote overnight; HR teams needed new policies to recruit, hire, onboard, manage, and evaluate remote workforces.
Other examples of business transformations include:
Retailers are beginning to transform brick and mortar stores into places where customers get deep information on products, sort through problems, or take delivery or return products. This has shifted the profile of the typical shop-floor retail employee to one with more skills in customer service, problem-solving, and product information.
Automakers are shifting from selling cars to individuals to selling "mobility as a service," where the consumer pays a monthly subscription and has access to whatever type of mobility solution they may need—a truck for weekend yard chores, a minivan for a vacation, or a convertible for date night, fundamentally changing their business model from "producer of expensive goods that an individual buys rarely" to supplier of cheaper services that consumers consume constantly.
Q: How does SAP Signavio accelerate such transformation? Could you briefly explain some scenarios?
A: SAP Signavio Solutions accelerate transformations by giving customers the information they need to make an informed decision quickly on why they need to change and what needs changing. We help them quickly map existing processes, identify problem areas, and collaborate to design the desired end state.
Then, we help them quickly achieve that end state by providing tailored, specific suggestions of changes that will have the biggest impact, reduce resistance to change through ongoing collaboration, and help people understand the impact of changes by correlating user experience data with process changes.
In addition, we have worked with a large U.S.-based insurance company to provide better transparency, ease of business, and the ability to manage rate changes. In addition, it added automation to avoid some of the headaches that were occurring because we had 40 people doing work in 40 different ways.
We also have a steel manufacturer consolidating multiple ERP systems into one system, which is driving improved efficiency across operational systems, reducing costs, and improving employee experience for IT and end users.
Q: What is the ROI—for IT—from the SAP Signavio portfolio?
A: Better connection to business; less programming needed; less customization thanks to best practices; reduced transformation project costs and documentation costs; support for both "lift and shift" as well as "landscape consolidation"; and used in greenfield and brownfield and whatever field.
Q: What is the ROI—from business/senior leaders' point of view—from the SAP Signavio portfolio?
A: Faster adoption of change; lower transformation project costs; better customer experiences leading to less customer churn, etc.; better employee experiences leading to faster onboarding and less churn; businesses can see improvements early on in projects, then continuously iterate and improve.

Miley Cyrus devastated by the US election results
November 10, 2016 by Elvis Michael Leave a Comment
The star accepts Trump, but is proceeding with caution
As many are still coming to terms with the presidential election results, Miley Cyrus was especially affected by the news. The star – who was an avid supporter of Hillary Clinton – believes she "deserves to be the first female president" someday.
She took to Twitter to share a video reflecting on the results, saying: "I've been very vocal for my support for everyone besides Donald Trump. Heavily supported Bernie [Sanders]. Heavily supported Hillary. And I still think that in her lifetime she deserves to be the first female president. That's what makes me so sad.
I just wish that she had that opportunity, because she's fought for so long and because I believe her when she says that she loves this country. This is all she's ever done. She's given her life to make it better."
The singer then admitted she accepts Donald Trump as president, despite not being her favorite.
She continued: "Happy hippies, we adjust and we accept everyone for who they are. And so Donald Trump, I accept you." She went on to ask for him to respect others, as this will be the best way to gain people's trust.
"And this hurts to say, but I even accept you as the President of the United States, and that's fine, that's fine because I think now I want to be a hopeful hippie. But please just treat people with love and treat people with compassion and treat people with respect and I will do the same for you."
Miley ended the video by thanking Hillary for her work and for trying her very best, adding: "Thank you Hillary for inspiring all of us."

Brady Singer: Ace or Wild Card?
A strong two months has Brady Singer looking ace-like, but is it legit?
Sam Lutz
Going Deep 9/1/2022
With an ERA of 2.14 and a WHIP of 1.079, Brady Singer has pitched like an ace over the past two months. He's racked up 71 strikeouts while issuing just 19 walks over that span. But has the Royal's best starter evolved into a true ace or is he a wild card on an extended hot streak?
Singing His Praises
Brady Singer was originally drafted straight out of high school in the second round of the 2015 draft by the Toronto Blue Jays, but elected to head to college at the University of Florida rather than sign. This turned out to be a pretty good decision by the 6'5″ right-hander, as he helped Florida win the College World Series in 2017 and boosted his own stock enough that he was drafted in the first round of the 2018 MLB draft by the Kansas City Royals.
Singer spent just one full season in the minors, posting a 2.85 ERA over 148 innings split between High-A and Double-A in 2019. With no minor league baseball in 2020, since it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Royals made the decision to promote Singer to the big club, making him the first pitcher from the 2018 draft to debut in the Majors.
He didn't exactly blow the doors off the league, but he acquitted himself well for the 26-34 Royals. He managed a 4-5 record with a 4.05 ERA while compiling 61 strikeouts and 23 walks over 64.1 innings. Strong enough numbers to earn him a handful of Rookie of the Year votes.
2021 saw Singer take a step back across almost all of his metrics, particularly in his walk rate. However, the 26-year-old has not just rebounded, he's taken a huge leap forward this season. Not only is he Kansas City's only starting pitcher with an ERA under 4.00, he's also been the Royal's de facto ace. His breakout season includes a very strong 3.15 ERA and 1.11 WHIP to support his 7-4 record. Singer's success has mostly been based on significant gains in his walk and strikeout rates as illustrated in the table below.
The Un-Masked Singer
Brady Singer's Contact Information
Strikeout %
Walk %
Hard Hit %
Barrel %
Avg Exit Velo
CSW %
2020 23.2 8.7 40.1 4.5 88.5 33
2021 22.4 9 37.6 5.6 88.5 31
2022 25.6 6.2 42.2 8.9 89.8 31.6
2022 MLB AVG 22 8.4 35.8 6.7 88.4 27.9
This chart serves both to show how far Singer has come in terms of walk and strikeout rates, and how those strong strikeout and walk rates can overcome or mask other issues. His K rate has improved from just about in line with the MLB average to well above average, and currently places inside the top third of the league. His walk rate has greatly improved as well.
In 2021, Singer's walk rate sat just above the league's bottom third, and this year that same rate sits just a single percentage point outside the top quarter of MLB pitchers. On the other hand, it is both noteworthy and surprising to see his hard hit rate, barrel percentage, and average exit velocity allowed all increase so much. After allowing league-average exit velocity, and better than average barrels over his first couple of seasons, Singer has seen batters barrel him up roughly one-third more often than league average. His hard hit percentage has also ballooned and sits at a rate about 20 percent worse than average.
Thankfully, Singer induces grounders on 47% of the balls that hitters put into play, which beats the league average of 44.9, and helps explain why his expected batting average against of .232 and BABIP of .291 both beat the league at large which sit at .245 and .291 respectively. It also helps that his CSW% continues to sit comfortably above the MLB average rate.
The Same Old Song
When a pitcher improves this much year over (and nearly a full run drop in ERA is pretty big), I like to see some sort of change in pitch mix or pitch quality. There should be some change in behavior or execution that explains the change in performance. With Singer, however, there is not much to look at in terms of his arsenal.
There is a bit of an uptick in Singer's changeup usage, but overall he's clearly a two-pitch pitcher and has been since he debuted. When facing Singer, batters are seeing the sinker or slider over 90% of the time, and while both have been effective (each offering has been credited with four runs saved so far this season) neither one is especially dominant. To add perspective, 55 other pitchers have sinkers credited with at least four runs saved, with Dillon Tate leading the way at 16, and a whopping 95 pitchers throw sliders credited with at least four runs saved, with Dylan Cease lapping nearly everyone with a mind-boggling 32 runs saved by his slide piece.
So if Singer's arsenal hasn't changed, perhaps it's gotten sharper with added movement or velocity…
Nope. The lack of movement he generates on his changeup does explain why Singer hasn't featured his offspeed offering to a greater degree. And while his sinker has improved, it's only gotten back to its 2020 baseline in terms of movement, and still drops less than the average MLB sinker. It does possess 14 inches of arm side break, but that too is a bit below league average.
Singer's slider drops about 37 inches, which is slightly better than MLB average, and generates a nice 35.7 whiff percentage which ranks inside the top 20 starters. And that's it, his four-seamer doesn't exist. Other than a greatly improved walk rate and mildly increased strikeout rate, Singer is essentially the same pitcher now that he was when he entered the league two years ago.
Fantasy Takeaway
Singer does have two good offerings, but no elite pitch to rely on, and since he uses those two pitches over 90% of the time, he does not have much wiggle room if one pitch isn't working during an outing. Nick Pollack described Singer as a "cherry bomb" during a breakdown of his 12-strikeout performance versus the Rays back in July, and with his limited arsenal, it's an apt description.
That aside, it's hard to deny how great Singer's two-month run has been. Over ten starts since the beginning of July, Singer has allowed more than two earned runs just twice. He's gone at least six innings in nine of those ten starts, earning eight quality starts and four wins. His season ERA over that span has dropped over a run from 4.33 all the way down to 3.15. And this run includes 13 combined shutout innings versus the Yankees and Dodgers—it hasn't just been weak competition.
Singer has been excellent for two months and has shown significant improvement in his strikeout rate and even more so in his walk rate, but his elevated hard contact, exit velocity, and barrel rates make it hard to believe his overall performance is sustainable and raises legitimate concerns that a blow-up start or some less explosive regression could be on the horizon.
I'd love to see Singer develop and utilize his changeup more before bumping him up from a matchup-based play to someone I'd start in almost any situation. He's been the ace of the Royals staff but has to continue to develop before he earns that title as a fantasy starter.

A Pittsburgh native and long suffering Pirate fan, Sam turned to fantasy baseball to give him a reason to follow the sport after July.


This morning I set out to ride my bike in the pouring rain. I'm training for my mid-life crisis triathlon. It's a mini-triathlon, really; 400 meter swim, 14 mile bike ride, and 3 mile run. Nevertheless, it exhausts me to type that much physical activity, much less train for it. I figured if I'm heading over the hill this year, I might as well try to swim, bike and run over it.
The rain was cold and exhilarating this morning, waking me with each drop. There was a sweet smell of honeysuckle in the air, hinting towards eternity, and a small waterfall was forming off the front of my bike helmet making it hard for me to see. It reminded me of when my eye doctor prescribed my coke bottle-sized glasses when I was in the 3rd grade. I was nearsighted—like today, I could only see the road near me. Everything off in the distance was just a blur.
There's something about training for a race that makes you think in terms of distance, focusing on the end goal. You begin to calculate the miles, getting so caught up in your vision of the finish line that you miss the beauty around you on the journey.
During my rainy bike ride it dawned on me: too often I think of God in the distance, like a far-off God in the sky, listening to my lowly prayers from high above. Imagining Him this way causes me to create false rules in an effort to get His attention—if I get on my knees will He incline His ear to hear me? if I'm good enough, will He draw closer to me?—all the while forgetting that He promised to be near from the moment I gave my life to Him. In John 14:23, Jesus says, "My father will love him and we will come and make our home in him." He says of His Spirit a few verses earlier, "But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you" (Jn 14:17).
So, the Holy Spirit is ALREADY in me when I pray? It is gospel truth, and it's no less true just because it's sometimes hard for us to believe.
As this truth sunk in and I began to see God as near, because He always is, I began to smile and sing. Yes, I sang out loud, and yes, some more serious cyclists dressed in better attire than me heard, but I kept singing nonetheless: Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my HEART.
Friends, it begins here, with the heart—the intimate place, the wellspring, the place we store up treasure. It is here in our hearts that we see God with the nearsighted vision that is a gift of the Holy Spirit, and it's here that I began to sing that hymn differently. I sang it to my heart instead of to the sky, as I pedaled onward in the rain.

Thank you precious Mandy! I needed this today and everyday. I can count on Him to be near, He did make that promise to me. he is faithful , that I am sure of.
Every day, I can read this and connect with it.
Sometimes in getting into that mindset that I have to pray to God at a certain place and in a certain position for him to draw near to me, I find myself making excuses for not giving time to Him! By creating the false idea that God is only with me sometimes and in certain circumstances, I can excuse myself from having pray with him all day long…but when I am confident that God is near to me always as He has promised, I can pray without ceasing and He can be my vision always.
I've been thinking a lot lately on how to stop striving so much and start resting in the Lord. I've had a relationship loss this last year and have been in the deepest mourning I've experience. God has been ever-present through it all and has taught me his love and grace through it. But as I open up to a world with new relationship possibilities, I'm struggling with focusing on needing a worldly relationship and trying to sit in intimate connection with God and trying to allow him only to hold my affections. This is more difficult than I imagined so I appreciate the reminder that God isn't this far away sovereignty but that he is so intimately connected to us that he is dwelling in our hearts. Thank you for the reminder!
Linda Beth, I'm in the same situation as you and always find it encouraging to hear someone else's testimony that I can relate to.

Garden centre near M5 given go ahead for £2million expansion
It's going to be huge
Zasha Whiteway-WilkinsonContent Editor
The company currently employs 140 people
A popular garden centre based near the M5 has won outline planning permission for a major £2 million expansion.
The independently owned Highfield Garden World is based in Whitminster which sits alongside the A38 near Junction 13 of the M5.
Up to 20,000 customers visit the centre, owned and run by three generations of the Greenway family, per week, reports Gloucestershire Live.
What are the plans?
The number of seats in the restaurant will be increased by up to 500. Extra retail space, new planteria areas, expanded kitchen facilities and 120 more car parking spaces are also included in the proposals.
What have the owner's said?
Co-founder and director, Tim Greenway, said: "We have our customers and all of our brilliant staff to thank for helping Highfield to thrive over so many years.
Planning applications near you:
"Once a small business selling trees and plants by mail order many moons ago, Highfield has evolved bit by bit to offer food, fashion, furniture, gifts, concessions and more to become a retail destination in its own right but always with our gardening heritage at heart.
"Business has been especially buoyant since we launched our new restaurant and extra retail space in 2014, and we're on course to have an even bigger, better Highfield offering now we've secured outline planning permission for the next exciting stage in our development."

1阿撒夫的詩歌。天主,異民侵入了你的遺產,褻瀆了你的聖殿,使耶路撒冷覆顛; 1Unto the end, for them that shall he changed, a testimony for Asaph, a psalm.
3在耶路撒冷四周血如水流,但出來埋葬的人一個也無。 3Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses. Stir up thy might, and come to save us.
4我們竟成為我們鄰居的恥辱,作了我們四周的譏諷與玩物。 4Convert us, O God: and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved.
5上主,你經常發怒,要到何時,你怒燄如火,要到何時? 5O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy servant?
6求你向那不承認你的異民,及不呼號你名的列國洩憤, 6How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: and give us for our drink tears in measure?
7因為他們吞併了雅各伯家族,並蹂躪了他的住處。 7Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us.
8求你別向我們追討祖先的惡行,以你的仁慈速來協助我們,因為我們實在是可憐萬分。 8O God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.
9天主,我們的救主,為你名的光榮,協助我們,為了你的聖名,寬赦我們的罪過,拯救我們! 9Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: thou hast cast cut the Gentiles and planted it.
10為何讓異民說:「他們的天主何處去了?」願我們在異民中能親眼看到,你僕人流出的血,要得的酬報! 10Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight: thou plantedst the roots thereof, and it filled the land.
11願囚徒的哀歎上達你面前,按你手臂的能力解放死犯! 11The shadow of it covered the hills: and the branches thereof the cedars of God.
12天主,求你將我們四鄰加給你的凌辱,向他們的胸懷裡投以七倍報復! 12It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, and its boughs unto the river.
13這樣做你子民做你牧場羊群的我們,能永遠稱謝你,能萬世宣揚你的光榮。 13Why hast thou broken down the hedge thereof, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck it?
14 14The boar out of the wood hath laid it waste: and a singular wild beast hath devoured it.
16 16And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.
17 17Things set on fire and dug down shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
18 18Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.
19 19And we depart not from thee, thou shalt quicken us: and we will call upon thy name.
20 20O Lord God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.

EU unveils migration action plan for Italy
The EU has unveiled a new action plan designed to help Italy cope with the influx of migrants to its shores.
It earmarks some thirty million euros in aid for the Italian government.
Interior ministers from the twenty eight member states will discuss the proposal on Thursday at a meeting in Tallinn, Estonia.
"When we drafted the Dublin regulation, we never envisaged this sort of specific situation as we have now been facing for the last two or three years in Greece and Italy.
"But there is also concern in Europe that many people who do not the status of refugees or aren't refugees are using the opportunity to come here for economic reasons and that is not what the refugee status is all about," said European Commission First Vice-President Frans Timmermans.
Rome has also called for a code of conduct for sea rescue NGOs.
An EU agreement to relocate 160,000 migrants has seen just over 20,000 moved from Greece and Italy.
Last week, the government called the situation "unsustainable" and threatened to close its ports to humanitarian ships not flying the Italian flag.
"Italy is crying out loud that it's about time, that the rest of the EU member states honour the figures the numbers the commitments they made once upon a time," said Juan-Fernando Lopez Aguilar, a centre-left MEP from Spain.

This is the complete text of "The Art of War," one of the oldest and most successful books on military strategy in the world. It has also been applied to business and managerial strategies. The translation, by Lionel Giles, is considered one of the best available. This unabridged edition of "The Art of War" includes only the most essential translator's notes so that the words and thoughts of Sun Tzu may be easily understood.
Thomas Cleary earned his Ph.D. in East Asian studies at Harvard University and is renowned for his translations of classic Chinese, Japanese, Sanskrit, Pali and Arabic religious texts. His translations include the bestselling 'The Art of War', 'The Essential Tao', 'The Essential Confucius', 'The Essential Koran', and 'The Secret of the Golden Flower'. He lives in Cambridge, MA.


From basic architecture, interconnection, and parallelization to power optimization, this book provides a comprehensive description of emerging multicore systems-on-chip (MCSoCs) hardware and software design. Highlighting both fundamentals and advanced software and hardware design, it can serve as a primary textbook for advanced courses in MCSoCs design and embedded systems. The first three chapters introduce MCSoCs architectures, present design challenges and conventional design methods, and describe in detail the main building blocks of MCSoCs. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 discuss fundamental and advanced on-chip interconnection network technologies for multi and many core SoCs, enabling readers to understand the microarchitectures for on-chip routers and network interfaces that are essential in the context of latency, area, and power constraints. With the rise of multicore and many-core systems, concurrency is becoming a major issue in the daily life of a programmer. Thus, compiler and software development tools are critical in helping programmers create high-performance software. Programmers should make sure that their parallelized program codes will not cause race condition, memory-access deadlocks, or other faults that may crash their entire systems. As such, Chapter 7 describes a novel parallelizing compiler design for high-performance computing. Chapter 8 provides a detailed investigation of power reduction techniques for MCSoCs at component and network levels. It discusses energy conservation in general hardware design, and also in embedded multicore system components, such as CPUs, disks, displays and memories. Lastly, Chapter 9 presents a real embedded MCSoCs system design targeted for health monitoring in the elderly.

Secretary-General Guterres Pays Tribute to Egypt's Role in Avoiding "Dramatic" Escalation in Conflict Across the Gaza-Israel border – UN News Story
Home/Secretary-General Guterres Pays Tribute to Egypt's Role in Avoiding "Dramatic" Escalation in Conflict Across the Gaza-Israel border – UN News Story
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has paid tribute to the role played by Egypt in helping to avoid a "dramatic" escalation of violence in Gaza over recent months, as tensions grew over Palestinian protests at the border, Hamas rocket attacks, and reprisal airstrikes by Israel.
At a press conference held in Cairo on Wednesday, Mr. Guterres said that Egypt was a "fundamental partner for the UN in relation to peace and security in the region," and described the UN's cooperation with Egypt as an essential aspect of the Organization's work.
As well as avoiding escalation in the Gaza Strip, Mr. Guterres said that Egypt's commitment has created the conditions for more effective humanitarian aid to the region, and is playing an 'integral part" in forging unity between the two main Palestinian factions – the extremist group Hamas, which controls Gaza, and Fatah, which runs the Palestinian National Authority, in the occupied West Bank.
Last week, as Palestinian protesters prepared to mark the anniversary of the "Great March of Return" demonstrations along the border fence with Israel, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Nickolay Mladenov, updated the Security Council on the UN's efforts along with Egypt, to mediate between Hamas and Israel in order to quell rocket attacks and airstrikes.
The UN chief – who arrived in the region at the weekend, addressing the Arab League in Tunis – said that everything must be done to guarantee that there will be two States side-by-side, Palestine and Israel, living together in peace and security, adding that Egypt and the UN see "eye to eye" on this issue, and that the UN will continue working with Egypt to achieve that objective.
Mr. Guterres also discussed the situation in war-ridden Yemen and Syria with members of the Government during his visit to Egypt, and he said that he believed both parties agree on what needs to be done for a lasting political solution to the conflicts in both countries.
UN chief arrives in Libya, in pursuit of peace, stability
The Secretary-General travelled from Egypt to Libya, where he will lend support to "a Libyan-led political process" and the creation of the conditions to stabilize the situation in the country, whose institutions (the Libyan National Parliament, the Presidential Council, the Government and the National Security Council) must, said Mr. Guterres, be unified.
Recent talks between the Prime Minister of the Libyan Unity Government, Faiez Serraj, and the de-facto ruler of eastern Libya Khalifa Haftar, Commander of the Libyan National Army, could pave the way to the country becoming a full partner in the international community, said the UN chief, with "normal institutions, and with its economy flourishing again, and with the international cooperation to benefit the whole region."

Photos & Review: Cup Match Summer Splash
[Written by Mikaela Ian Pearman]
Cup Match Summer Splash 2016 was a night filled with incredible music, great bands, high energy and most of all, nothing but love.
Revellers turned out last night at Par-la-Ville Car Park to witness Jah Cure's return to Bermuda after eight years and the homecoming of Collie Buddz, who hasn't performed locally in four years. Expectations were high and the crowd was ready for a good night.
I arrived just after 10pm when Ali was performing early warm ups for the crowd. A dub expo followed with Stalwart Sound and Magic of Souljah One. Both sounds played old school reggae with dub plates from a slew of artists. Jugglin J and Blackstar were also on hand to play a few tunes before the main acts took to the stage.
Collie Buddz opening with "Blue Dreamz", which I thought was a weird song choice because it isn't a hit and the crowd didn't seem to know the song. He picked it up a bit by performing "Sensimilia", "Holiday", "Tomorrow's Another Day", "What A Feeling" and many more.
The crowd found its energy when he performed his mega hit "Come Around" and then "Blind To You". But it was his debut song 'Mamacita" that whipped the audience into a frenzy.
I felt like it was 2006 and I was hearing it on the radio for the first time – definitely had me dancing. His band was fantastic and it was nice to see a Bermudian as a main act at a local show.
The headliner for the night, Jah Cure, took the stage before 1am and began his performance with "Call On Me", one of his older songs but an excellent choice to kick off his set. Also, this song is special to me because it says my name in it!
Dressed head to toe in white, Jah Cure performed hit after hit and that man has dozens of hits. Songs included "That Girl, "You'll Never Find", "All of Me", "Rasta", "Arms of Love", "Live We Life" and many more. He then performed an a capella medley of more songs including "Sunny Days" and "King In This Jungle".
Like I said, Jah Cure has hits and being a mega fan, I sang along to every single song, word for word.
Now I wish I didn't have any criticism since he's one of my favourites, but I have to say it was super annoying for Jah Cure to stop singing repeatedly and buss a lil skank on stage every couple of minutes. I'm all for an entertainer dancing while performing, but sing the songs!
He continued to perform many more hits but the best part of the night for me was his performance of "Reflections", which was written while he was in jail. That song brings out all his pain and you can hear the vulnerability in his voice. It's a really beautiful, pure moment. A close second big song was "Only You", his big debut in 2005 – the song that made me fall in love with his music.
Overall, the show was good. The organisers – Rowan Ramotar, Declan Harris and Andrew Holmes were top notch, as usual. It was a solid, clean night without incident and great reggae music. I am eagerly awaiting Wednesday night.

bermyboy says:
It was great to see a Bermudian artist Co-headline a major concert at home. And his band was on point!!
Enough says:
So who was the main act. It seems Colue Budz played for the majority of the night. Jah Cure was only on for forty five minutes and just kept repeating his stuff, 85 Folkqrs to listen to Collie Budz a bit over the top. Went to see a concert in the uk and the main person was on for almost three hours and was fantastic and sure didn't cost 85 dollars,got so much more for your money. Won't go again here
Collie Buddz and his band were sensational. A great time.
Would have liked to see more of Jah Cure perform. He has so many songs and to only be on for a short time I felt cheated. He could have sang more instead of trying to get the audience always sing. I love his voice and his music. Sing Jah Cure!
That's how they perform at concerts.
Zevon says:
A reggae performer who is repetitive, doesn't have much material, and isn't all that talented to begin with.
Well who would have thought that.
Wow says:
"In November 1998, while driving around Montego Bay, Cure was pulled over by the police and arrested on charges of gun possession, robbery and rape. He was prosecuted before the Gun Court in April 1999, found guilty and sentenced to 15 years in prison."
So we're importing rapists now? Wow! How was he allowed in? Disgusting.
the rubbish rubbisher ! says:
you took the time to go and FIND something NEGATIVE to post…. some yall are just so miserable lol
The article stated he was incarcerated when he recorded one of his songs. Of course I took literally one second to google and find out why. You think rape is no big deal? That's what is NEGATIVE you simpleton!
Duane P. Santucci says:
WOW @ Wow, just who in hell are you to make such a judgement call on anyone, this personal attack is not even called for, were you there when he committed such acts, or were you just driving around Montego Bay, listening to the news on the radio, and yes the report is true of what you heard, but if a man has been guilty and served his time to both community, society and incarceration, just who the heck are you to say he don't deserve a chance to redeem himself.
People like you is what cause those who messed up to feel as if the only way to live is the gangster style life, but thankfully we have enough forgiven people around that make folk like you be expose for the cold characteristics that you are.
I take a great offence to your insensitivity, people were coming together from all walks of life, black, white & the other and all you can think about is a man's arrest charges, joker.
It's not a personal attack, it's a fact. Go hug your bible and shut up moron. Rapists have no business walking the streets, there is no redemption but considering the fact that you are many fries short of a happy meal you wouldn't understand that. Something is seriously wrong with you mentally. I would personally attack you but I know bernews won't post it so just be warned to keep your mouth closed before I put you on blast!

Expect downloadable add-ons for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to have more of an expansion feel to them, should developer Bethesda's initial thoughts materialize. While not clear on what kind of post-launch content will be released just yet, game director Todd Howard has said he'd like them to be "more substantial" this time around.
In the case of Fallout 3 DLC, the content was created by two overlapping groups which resulted in a "very chaotic" pace, Howard admits. A pr0cess the developer is seemingly looking to change with Skyrim.
Not that Skyrim's in-the-box content isn't already quite substantial; the studio's estimated 30 hours of play time for the story and 200-300 hours if players go for absolutely everything the RPG has to offer.


Which Blog Types Perform the Best?
Over 2 million blogs are posted to the internet daily, all addressing a plethora of topics and interests. Thousands more are launched every month but many find it difficult to gain traction amongst the crowd. The problem with the relationship we now have with social media and the internet is the expectancy to be seen immediately. More than that, we expect to gain results fast.
The problem? It is extremely hard to make your content stand out in the beginning, especially when you don't have your own formula or styles to go off. Ultimately, you need to think about the type of blog you want to create, and what kind of structure works best with your blog type. To give you a bit of a kick-start, we've collated a list of the kinds of blogs that have proven the highest-performing in 2017.
These are very common, and at times the most effective form of blogging. In this, blogs are formed based on a specific industry or market, such as reviews on products or services. The reason these blogs perform highly is due to their focus on a specific target audience. Not only do these blogs garner more attention due to their specific industry relation, they also tend to have a higher level of engagement across the website.
Giving a fresh insight into the ins and outs of life, personal blogs are a great way to connect with an audience. Gaining traction in 2017, this blog type is where the author blogs about challenges they may be taking on, such as starting a new project, or about life circumstances that can be relatable to a wide audience. Not only does this provide readers with a firsthand view into the experience, but it also feeds nicely into video or imagery supplementation.
The MVP of the blogging world, hobby or special interest blogs will always gain attention due to their specific audience target. These blog types can be about virtually anything as long as you provide a fresh or insightful look into the area. From gardening to TV shows – there will always be someone who wants to read more about the focus area.
Everyone has an opinion, and now there is the space to broadcast this. Opinion blogs aren't necessarily a negative thing; rather, they offer a difference of beliefs and allow a counterthought to a popular or widely discussed topic. This can range from political views to pop culture references. As you can believe, these blog types are popular due to the in-depth discussions they provoke. People either love or hate them, but either way they gain you views.
Although it may be difficult from the outset to gain readership, you need to stick to your guns when it comes to blogging. It takes time, but it helps to remember that every high-performing blog started off the same way. Dedication, creativity and energy can lead you in the right direction. Avoid wasting your time: evaluate other blogs within your industry, develop an idea of what topics are trending and identify areas or subjects that are under-reported on.
Additionally, look at the blog types that are being widely used and garnering the most results from the audience of that specific industry or interest. Draw inspiration from these and add your own unique flavour. Success breeds success, after all.

Roman Lazarevich Karmen (real name Efraim Leyzorovich Korenman) (;  – 28 April 1978) was a Soviet film director, war cinematographer, documentary filmmaker, journalist, screenwriter, pedagogue and publicist.

Biography
Karmen was born to a Jewish family in Odessa. His father was the writer Lazar Karmen (real name Leyzor Korenman) and his mother was the translator Dina Leypuner.

Communist propaganda
Karmen was a Communist, and roamed the world portraying the Spanish Civil War, the battles for Moscow and Leningrad in World War II, the First Indochina War, and the rise of Communism in South East Asia in the 1950s and in South America during the 1960s.

Karmen was also granted personal access to the emergence of Communist leaders China's Mao Zedong, Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh and Cuba's Fidel Castro, and Chile's socialist president Salvador Allende.

Style
Karmen's documentary methods were both influential and controversial; his renowned technical ability captured the emotion of war and the repetition of key shots and framings between film projects became a hallmark, but he would often blur the lines of Cinéma vérité by restaging key battles, including the lifting of the siege of Leningrad (Ленинград в борьбе, 1942), the Viet Minh victory at the battle of Dien Bien Phu (Вьетнам, 1955), and the 1956 landing in Cuba of militants led by Fidel Castro, re-enacted as a first person documentary.

In 2001, French documentary directors Dominique Chapuis and Patrick Barbéris produced a 90-minute film, titled Roman Karmen: A Cineast In The Revolution's Service. The following year Barbéris (his co-author Chapuis had died in late 2001) published the portrait Roman Karmen, A Red Legend.

After having more than a dozen iOS devices entrusted to my care I experienced the "Ah drat!" moment that all iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad owners dread—gravity gets its grip on the device, it tumbles to the ground, and CRRRRRAAAACKKK goes the display. My new third-generation iPad managed to slip off my desk and glance off the one metal object on my office's carpeted floor. That glancing blow was enough to shatter a section of the iPad's glass display and send cracks across the bottom-left corner.
He went on to explain that you can't use iFixit's iPad 2 replacement front panel because its connector and cable length is different from what you find in the third-generation iPad.
I asked if something like windshield resin might do the trick and he said that given that the crack wasn't over the display itself but rather in a corner it was worth a try if I didn't mind a less-than-perfect looking screen. Regrettably I did, so it was on to the next step.
With home-made remedies out of the question it was time to see the wizard—or, at least, the Genius—at the localish Apple Store. In the early days of The Store you could waltz in, pull up a stool, and a Genius would get to you in short order. Now that Apple products are so popular and so many people have them, walking in isn't your best option. Instead, you make an appointment via Apple's Genius Bar web page. In the U.S,. you choose the state in which you live and then select a store within that state. In the next screen, select the product you'd like to speak with the Genius about—iPad, in my case—and click Next. A page appears where you can choose a day and time for your visit. This I did; I then proceeded to prepare my iPad for its time in the Apple Genius's care.
Much as I'm certain that each and every person who works at Apple is a trustworthy soul, I'm just paranoid enough to be concerned that the truck bearing my old data-packed iPad might be highjacked by aliens who would use my personal information to tweet inappropriate images of South American livestock under my name. To avoid that, I resolved to wipe my iPad of information.
Doing that is simple. Just jack the iPad into your Mac, select it in iTunes' Source list, and in the General tab to the right, click on the Restore button. iTunes will download (if necessary) the latest version of the iOS and install it on the iPad. You then have the option to set up your iPad as a new device (thus putting it in a condition similar to how it originally came out of the box). That's exactly what I did.
And so, Friday, it was off to see the Genius in not-so-terribly-far-away Monterey, California. I met the greeter at the door, told her that I was there to see the Genius: She found my name on her iPad, tapped it to indicate I was on the premises, and suggested I hover near (but not right in front of, please) the Genius bar in the back of the store. I did, waiting for a couple of minutes.
Albert (not his real name), the very nice Genius, called my name, walked over, asked me what the problem was, and I opened the box.
And off we went. Thrilling as our banter was, I'll just mention a couple of details that might help you in a similar situation.
Swap, not repair: When you bring in one of these devices, Apple doesn't take it, give you a ticket, and tell you to come back in a week after Joe in the back fixes it. Instead, you're given a replacement. Oftentimes this is a refurbished model—one that's been repaired and is offered with the same warranty as a new one. In my case, Albert said it was unlikely that it was a refurb as the third-generation iPads are so new, but he couldn't swear to it as store employees aren't told what's inside these replacement models.
It's not cheap: I had a 32GB 4G AT&T model, which retails for $729. The replacement cost of the iPad is $299 plus tax.
No, you can't switch to a Verizon model: I pre-ordered my iPad within minutes of the thing going on sale and, because I've always done so, chose the AT&T model. Regrettably, at the time, I didn't know that AT&T was going to drag its feet in regard to tethering (nor that Verizon would offer tethering for free). Rather than cancel the order and get back in the now-longer queue, I stuck with the AT&T model.
Figuring this was as good a time as any to rectify my mistake, I asked about getting the Verizon model instead.
This has always been Apple's policy, even back to the days of the iPod. So I wasn't surprised but thought I'd give it a shot.
If only I'd had AppleCare: For $99 you can purchase AppleCare+ for your iPad. That gives you an additional year of coverage (so, two years instead of one) and it also includes two accidental damage incidents (which is what the + indicates). So, as in my case, if the iPad takes a tumble and the screen cracks, the replacement cost is $49 rather than $299.
I could still get AppleCare, but…: Albert offered me the opportunity to purchase AppleCare for my replacement iPad, but with a condition. Although I could pay the same $99 for the AppleCare, one of those accidental damage incidents would be wiped out due to the original iPad's injury.
And with that, Albert swapped out the SIM card in my damaged iPad with the card in the new model, rewrapped the iPad in its plastic sheet, placed it in the box I brought, swiped my credit card, and asked if there was anything else he could help me with. All in all, it took 10 minutes to conduct our business.
While I'm not happy dropping another $300 on my third-generation iPad, I have no one to blame but myself. The replacement cost stung, but Apple's not in the business of throwing free iPads at everyone who walks by the store. I appreciate that the company has made replacing these devices easy and that they've trained their employees to be courteous and professional.
On a bad-luck Friday the 13th, I could have experienced far worse.
