What does it mean to be a nobody? How does it feel to be a somebody? And why is it so hard to be ourselves? These are the questions at the heart of Nobodies, a darkly comedic collection in which a neurotic teenager experiences his first rejection; a stalker emails her favourite movie star; a young man wages war against God; and an aspiring philosopher tries to save the world from itself. In seventeen genre-bending stories, Nobodies explores the paradoxes of status anxiety, the pitfalls of fame, and the dialectics of identity in the twenty-first century.
Nobodies is now available in bookstores and online.

Arriving home with the baby she's adopting, Caroline Harrison finds her house vandalized...and an intruder intent on shooting her. She's saved when police sirens approach, but all signs point to the little boy as the true target--and the assailant won't give up.
Now she has to rely on Detective Jason Drake, the man who once broke her heart, to figure out why someone's after her soon-to-be adoptive son.
Reunited after thirteen years apart, Jason can't help but hope their love might be rekindled, but Caroline and her son's safety come first.
Because if he wants a chance at a future--and a family--with them, they have to outrun a hit man.
Intense action, intriguing suspense, great character development, sweet and gentle second chance love story, an adorable baby - this story has it all, and does it well!
The characters are multiple and likable, from protagonists to the supporting cast and crew, they have all distinctive characteristics, they are unique, with their strengths and weaknesses, and they all have something about them that made me have a connection with them, understand where they were coming from, and like them all the same. Most of them had personally found salvation in the Lord, and had faith in God, in His guidance in their lives, this was clear to see as they proudly proclaimed it.
Caroline Harrison and Jason Drake obviously have a connection. The once wrecked childhood friendship gave them a foundation start building something new, something solid, mature, and lasting. They could not have hidden the feelings they have for each other even if they tried. The past mistakes and hurt were handled without too much angst and drama, there was enough tension, trouble, and danger from the threats and murder attempts against Caroline and her son.
The story has an enthralling, compelling tone and tempo, it pulled me right into the story, and held me captive till the end. It has heart-stopping moments of pure fear and devastation, at one point I even questioned if there could be a happy ending and if everyone could make it alive through the disastrous attacks with a murderous intent.

Spider-Man: Far From Home Is Full of Clues About the Future of the MCU
For all the twists and turns in Spider-Man: Far From Home—and it does have quite a few surprises—the entire film seems set on answering one question: Can Peter Parker be the new Tony Stark?
Spider-Man: Far From Home's Tom Holland Found Out He Was Peter Parker on Instagram
The Spider-Man: Far From Home Trailer Raises Some Questions
Avengers: Endgame Is Gunning for Avatar's Box Office Record
In order to not spoil the whole film, we won't answer that here—at least, not literally. To find out whether Spider-Man can fill the suit of Iron Man is a journey best experienced on the big screen, and we don't want to take that from you. But the larger question, the one about whether a teenager from Queens can take over for a genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist as both the leader of the Avengers and the center of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is one we can discuss at length. (Though be warned, there will be some minor spoilers for the new Spider-Man film and previous MCU movies.)
It is likely no accident that Far From Home is the first Marvel universe film to arrive after Avengers: Endgame, which left Tony Stark dead and the future of many Avengers uncertain. Its sole purpose is to put a bow on the MCU's phase 3 and set up phase 4, to prove that there is life after the Avengers. In that, it succeeds; it proves that at least one Avenger—and a very young go-getter at that—is ready and willing to save the world. Does he share the exact cut of Tony Stark's jib? No, but he doesn't have to.
Iron Man, in 2008, set the tone for pretty much everything that happened in the MCU after it. Slowly but surely, over the course of more than a decade, individual heroes—Captain America, Thor, Black Panther, Doctor Strange—got their solo films like Stark's, and then he came around to bring them together to create his superhero superteam. If anyone is expecting Peter Parker to do that same thing in Far From Home, they'll be disappointed. "Nobody could live up to Tony," Happy Hogan tells Peter, "not even Tony." Stark's ambitions were often bigger than his ability to execute them—remember Civil War?—and so if Parker wants to live up to his hero, he has to find his own answers. More than picking up where Stark left off, Spidey's job now is just to show the Avengers are in good hands. And—essentially—to wind them down.
As strange as that may seem, it makes sense. The MCU's phase 2 ended with, of all things, Ant-Man, which softened the blow of Avengers: Age of Ultron with a little lighthearted fun. Now, another bug—yes, I know spiders are arachnids and ants are insects, don't @ me—is coming along to salve the burn of Endgame. But Far From Home, with its references to Captain Marvel being "unavailable" and Thor being "off-world," promises that Earth will always have a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man while also alluding to the fact that that's maybe all Earth will need for a while. Black Panther is getting another movie, but that could be set entirely in Wakanda (please set an entire movie in Wakanda, Marvel). Captain Marvel could maybe get another movie, but that could happen pretty much anywhere in the universe. Doctor Strange could spend his next movie in another realm if he wanted to. Thor is off with the Guardians of the Galaxy … somewhere. The Avengers were formed to protect Earth, but if Earth is in good shape for a while, or if other heroes step up to take their place, more Avengers—and more Avengers movies—aren't necessary.
Angela Watercutter is a senior editor at WIRED covering pop culture.
This seems to be where the MCU is heading. There's been talk of late of "Avengers fatigue," the idea that it's time for the MCU to move away from its core heroes if Marvel wants to keep fans interested in these movies. This seems to be the path the studio is taking. It's got a few movies in the works with Avengers (presumably) doing non-Avengers things—Black Panther 2, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Doctor Strange 2, a Black Widow prequel movie—but the rest don't focus on Earth's Mightiest Heroes: The Eternals, Shang-Chi, other as-yet-unannounced movies. Also, Disney's acquisition of Fox is now complete, which means Marvel can once again—similar to what it did when it made an agreement to coproduce Spider-Man movies with Sony—play with characters like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four instead of the ones it has been working with up until now.
Frankly, this is a good thing. Spider-Man: Far From Home is a wonderfully good time. It's also, in many ways, incredibly predictable—and not just because there were two Spider-Man franchises before this one. It's expected because it's hard to imagine Peter Parker, like Tony Stark before him, not rising to the challenge—even if this struggle is just as fun as the one before. We've seen this hero's journey. It's time for a new one.

Summer will see warm temps in the mid-high 20's (degrees celsius), beautiful crystal waters and soft white sands. Make sure you drink plenty (in between your wines), and are lubed up for sun protection! We don't want to see any post wine tour lobsters out there…!! Spring is in the air!! Margaret River Springtime is pretty much the opposite to Margaret River in Autumn! As the winter edge mellows out, and summer approaches, you can pretty much expect to wear whatever you like. A light jumper is generally all you need to stay comfortable.
In Margaret River we are fortunate enough to have four very distinct seasons in Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring.
Summer will see warm temps in the mid-high 20's (degrees celsius), beautiful crystal waters and soft white sands. Make sure you drink plenty (in between your wines), and are lubed up for sun protection! We don't want to see any post wine tour lobsters out there…!!
Autumn starts a lot like summer, you can expect it to be fairly reasonable weather with temps in the high teens to low 20's. Towards the end of Autumn however, temps start to drop to the low-mid teens!!
Winter can do nothing to change the beauty of Margaret River! And it's the perfect opportunity to bust out that winter wardrobe, and get the camera out for those perfect soft lighting conditions. You'll be looking at single digits to early teens for temps.
Spring is in the air!! Margaret River Springtime is pretty much the opposite to Margaret River in Autumn! As the winter edge mellows out, and summer approaches, you can pretty much expect to wear whatever you like. A light jumper is generally all you need to stay comfortable.
The Margaret River region is located approximately 3-3.5 hours drive south west of Perth, WA. Take the Kwinana Freeway out of Perth city, and this will become the Forrest Highway. Follow the initial signs towards Bunbury, and then Busselton, travelling via the Bussell Highway.
Busselton is the gateway to the Margaret River Region. If you are continuing on to Margaret River or Dunsborough, you do not need to go into Busselton itself, just continue along the Busselton Bypass (Bussell Hwy), and then continue to follow the signs to your preferred destination.
Dunsborough, the quickest turns right at the end of the Bypass and then immediately left onto Caves Road. Drive approx 20mins and you will reach Dunsborough. Yallingup is a short drive from Dunsborough by continuing along Caves Road.
If you wish to fly to the Margaret River region, the Busselton Airport is the closest regional airport, with intermittent flights through the week to/from Perth. Car hire is available in Busselton from Avis or Hertz. The Busselton Airport will be undergoing a $60m renovation to expand its current flight capacity, due to be completed in 2018, which means you will be able to fly to Margaret River from a number places all over Australia.

Now I understand the Viking Era
So I'm sitting here, looking out my window at the 3-foot snow and the 5-foot icicles, reverting to ancestral type. Thinking:
"Fuck this. Let's go sack Miklagard."

Now you know why Minnesota was populated by Swedish and Norwegian immigrants. Nobody else could hack the winters here.
Yeah. With all that snow and ice there was nothing better to do than to pillage and plunder. Just imagine how much calmer they'd be if they'd lived in a place with palm trees and white sand beaches… ;)
So why is American football so popular in Samoa, again, morgan?
It was imported by the Girl Scouts, of course!
Those blasted Girl Scouts. I should've known.

No, no Jay.
The reason why Minnesota and Wisconsin were settled by Norwege and Swenske isn't because the other cultures couldn't hack the winters.
It's because compared to 19th century Norway and Sweden, Upper Minneosta and Upper Wisconsin are *paradise*.
"Look! Farmland! Lakes for fishing! Timber and lumber to build from! And no morass of petty aristocracy to tell you no. And, hey, it only snows for five whole months here! They won't believe THAT back in the old country!"
The only reason there weren't more of them was because a lot of Norski STILL remember the marketing flimflam that was Greenland. They had a completely justified 900 year old mistrust of ANYONE telling them about 'great farmland, only snows for five months of the year, plenty of timber…'

Thailand is Sweden's official sister country (don't have a source, but I read it in the paper a few years ago). Go figure.
Actually, we are buried in snow right now too and still calm as sheep. Social Democracy is Prozac…
Probably a combination of genetics and culture (they play rugby from an early age): http://isteve.blogspot.com/2010/01/now-was-that-so-hard.html

I grew up partly in Gallitzin PA. Snow drifts used to reach almost to the power lines in the mid 70's and early 80's, it was common. Every house had a reinforced awning for a very good reason, so you could open your front door and begin to tunnel out. The pitch of the roofs made each house look like an arrow, I can remember my parents heating our attic so the snow and ice would run off.
This created an interesting network of tunnels just to venture to the store. Often, it would warm a little, then freeze and get even colder overnight, creating a very thick layer of ice (reinforcing said tunnels).
I remember our mail man falling in to a cut off section of those tunnels and being lost for nearly two days. I also clearly remember seeing the mayor of the area being interviewed about snow removal and asking the press "What the &#$* do you want me to do, eat it?"
At least you have power, internet and a stocked fridge :) I remember a year when we were dangerously low on coal with no hope in sight.
Try to not go nuts.

For those that don't partake in alcoholic beverages, I find mulled apple cider to be a suitable substitute.
Too bad I can't seem to get good apple cider where I live these days. :( They only have the ordinary pasteurized variety sold in the grocery stores down here. You can't get the good stuff they sell at the cider mills up north.
>Too bad I can't seem to get good apple cider where I live these days. :(
If you ever visit Pennsylvania, try some Ziegler's. Local brand of cider associated with the Pennsylvania Dutch; best I've had anywhere. It's possible there might be better in New England or Washington State, but they'd truly have to work hard to top Ziegler's. The locals here take it for granted, and probably shouldn't.
Actually,Publix, Winn-Dixie and Wally World all sell Ziegler's. It's not bad, but it's pasteurized and has that "processed" taste. I'll bet the Ziegler's they sell in Pennsylvania at the cider mills isn't anything like it.

Polynesians aren't all that peacefull. They're on the flip side of the Viking situation.
They live in paradise. Nothinig bothers the livestock. The food crops crowd out the weeds! It's sunny and warm all day. It's……. BORING!
So, they took up humanity's usual hobbies: talking, war, and eating. Sometimes they combined the last two.
Polynesian languages take forever to say anything, but they sound great, even when they're insulting you. They *have* forever.
American football is a lot like war, except you don't get killed quite so often.

According this story on National Proletariat Radio, which was just posted on Slashdot, the government is planning to create a National Climate Service, which will "be somewhat analogous to the National Weather Service in providing information for people to use to make decisions, but in this case, about longer-term events instead of the shorter-term events that characterize the weather". I guess someone needed to hire those ex-CRU employees…

Actually, it now appears that coastal Greenland WAS green – just like Denmark – during the Medieval Warm Period 950 to 1300 or so and then it got colder and made farming impossible and killing off the viking population.

I've read somewhere that Minnesota & Wisconsin were sold to the Scandinavians with the assertion that it was "the same latitude as Paris" or somesuch (it's 44 N, Paris is 48N, close enough). So they expected _nice_, middle-European weather.
I think the Scandinavians are there now because they 1. were total fatalists in accepting their situation and 2. were the only people who could survive it in any case.

Jay Maynard: Please! For God's sakes understand that Minnesota was also populated by the English, Irish, Danes, Germans, and even some Scots; look at the history of Stillwater and the APA vs. the IRA. My Goodness, someone had to make food other than Lefse and Lutefisk, our church smorgasbords would have failed miserably otherwise. The only place where the Swedes and Norski's were in the majority was near Chisago City! Also, don't forget about the Iron Rangers, mostly displaced Socialists from Eastern Europe and Finland.

Actually, back in those days, you didn't go raiding in the winter. You went in viking in the summer season. It's a common mistake to refer to the vikings as a people. Being a viking was an occupation – that of a raider or pirate. The Norse would be vikings some of the time, and farmers for the rest of the time. While you were staying down on the farm you were not a viking.

I see I've been instalanched today (25 Feb). Glenn appears unaware that the "Let's sack Miklagard" post is two weeks old.
The 5-foot icicles all melted away days ago and about all that's left of the 3-foot snow is heaps of the stuff where the plows threw it. It's snowing lightly outside but the ground temperature has warmed enough that it's not sticking.
6 to 12 inches predicted for tonight, which would be a major fall here any other year. Now I'm just laughing. No need to bite my shield rim yet, and a good thing too because the bicycle tire I have bound around it would taste terrible.

>PA's "Hrolf Kraki's Saga" is worth a read
Damn straight. I've read a lot of pastiches of saga literature by modern authors, from H. Rider Haggard's "Eric Brighteyes" on forward, as well as translations of many of the sagas themselves. I am speaking as a connoisseur and a domain expert when I say that no one has ever played this game better than Anderson, and Hrolf Kraki's Saga was the best of the Anderson pastiches.
DN Says, "Genetic Scot, married a Dane. Hoping eldest son will bag a Mongol chick so we'll have all the great barbarian races covered, and grandkids will conquer the world." Man, thanks for the laugh… that was good! Gotta tell my Danish mother and brother. Stop in Elkhart, Iowa sometime at the Danish Windmill (imported brick by brick from Denmark and rebuilt), and buy their "Viking World Tour" T-shirt, has a mob of Vikings on the front, a list of places they raided on the back.
Doug, you are so right… no wonder the Norsemen were in such a foul mood all the time. It wasn't only the weather, it was having to choke down all that God-awful Lutefisk!
Well, they've always got those goreous (often blond) Norse women to console them.
KevinBaker, "Ah yes, the Vikings, who sailed across uncharted waters, traveled to a new, unexplored land, made their way across hostile territory until they found a place that was just as fucking miserable as the one they left!" Right! My Danish family members all live in Arizona.

Are you tired of listening to the hum of your fluorescent lights? Would you like more efficient fluorescent lighting? Ballast and bulb replacement services provided by SME Inc of Seattle can take care of that annoying noise of old ballasts by replacing them with newer and more efficient ballast technology and while we are at it, we can change out any burned out bulbs.
Ballasts made before 1979 are magnetic fluorescent ballasts that may contain PCBs. The expected life of these ballasts was only 10–15 years. The probability of failure, fire and risk of health and environmental hazard are great if these ballasts are still in use. If your building was built prior to 1980 and the fluorescent fixtures date back to this time, call SME, Inc. to inspect and perform ballast replacements.
Since 1988, energy efficient magnetic ballasts (10–12% greater efficiency than previous types) have been required by law to be used in new installations. These ballasts provided lower maintenance, cooler operation and had a longer life than predecessors had. However, the ballast consumes 10 watts of power with a lamp in the circuit and 4 watts without the lamp in place, making them less efficient than what is currently available.
Electronic ballasts operate using electronic components. This ballast type uses less power, operates at a cooler temperature, weighs less and provides a longer lamp life because it operates at a higher frequency.
A combination of electronic components and electromagnetic technology has allowed the production of hybrid ballasts. This type of ballast turns off the power to the cathode after lamp start, which reduces energy required by about 2.5 watts for each F40 lamp. Hybrids also have a long life expectancy of about 25 years, which greatly reduces maintenance costs. Hybrids are not designed for T8 lamps.
The newer types of electronic and electromagnetic ballasts are 12–30% more efficient than older types and have a longer life. Electronic ballasts eliminate the hum and flickering commonly experienced when using older types of ballasts.
Fluorescent lamps also have improved in efficiency over time. Using better electrodes and lamp coatings, the lamps are now able to produce an equal lumen output at far lower wattages than older lamp technology.
Florescent lighting is common in many businesses; the expense of maintenance – ballast and bulb replacement – can be quite costly over time. By retrofitting your existing fixtures with newer technology, what you save in maintenance costs could cover the cost of the retrofitting.
SME Inc of Seattle has over 40 years experience in all facets of electrical service, repair, design and installation. We happily provide service to residential, commercial and industrial buildings. No job is too small or too large for our professional team of electrical specialists. Call us to set up an appointment for ballast and bulb replacement or any other of our services.

Now, we're not saying we condone the use of steroids here at Coolector HQ but it's fair to say that the amazing looking BajaBoard looks a lot like a weedy skateboard that has gone a little OTT on the roids and the end result is a contraption that looks as death-defying as it does awesome.
The BajaBoard is best described as an extreme, off-road skateboard and for those of you that want to dominate the skatepark, this is likely the steed for you. Robust, high-performing and as striking as it gets so far as skateboards are concerned, it's little wonder that the BajaBoard is proving mighty popular amongst the extreme sports community.
The first thing that immediately stands out with the BajaBoard is the immense power that it possesses and just how capable it is of conquering even the roughest looking of terrains. You might think you're asking too much of your BajaBoard when you take it out to tackle the likes of woodland terrains and dirt tracks but, truth be told, it is an all-terrain vehicle that is capable of handling pretty much any you can throw at it.
With a 4WD design and speeds reaching up to 31MPH, the BajaBoard is one thoroughly impressive contraption and one that very much looks set to take the skateboarding world by storm. Taking its design inspiration from the Baja100 Rally, this cracking machine boasts a totally independent suspension and steering system – which is important for handling the sweet jumps that you're going to want to pull off – and a "DWA" for added stability when travelling at top speeds and easy drifting during turns.
The BajaBoard, as mentioned, has a top speed of 31mph (50kph) but this is also coupled with a 18+ mile range so you'll be able to enjoy it for a while before it needs charging up again. Each board comes with either a 600Wh or 900Wh Li-ion battery, incredibly robust 10 inch pneumatic tires and an LED headlight and tail/brake light for enhanced visibility at night. For the data lovers out there, you'll be pleased to hear it also has a wireless controller with LCD screen that delivers data in real time such as speeds, battery levels and throttle percentage.
Given the number of noticeable enhancements the BajaBoard has in comparison to a conventional skateboard, you'll not be surprised to hear that it's considerably more expensive as well. With the top range model clocking in at around $3000, it's no small investment but the sheer amount of enjoyment and adrenaline soaked action to be had aboard this magnificent contraption ensures its an investment worth making.
So, for those of you on the hunt for a new means of potentially heinously injuring yourself in style in 2017, you can't go wrong with the amazing looking BajaBoard and we're definitely hoping that we can get our hands on one here at Coolector HQ and reacquaint ourselves with a little thing called gravity.

Star Wars: Should Fan Fiction be Added to the Star Wars Canon?
Canon is the material of a story that is accepted as official and is decided upon by the creator of the story or the person or business that owns the story.
What's Wrong With The Star Wars Prequels?
Before Star Wars exploded into the franchise it is today, it started with three movies: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. A whole universe of stories written by a whole slew of authors branched out from these movies. Then the official prequels were made. There are many diehard fans who hated the Star Wars Prequels; the boring plotlines, the demystification of the world, and the overuse of green screen and CGI. Above all, the poorly developed characters are widely considered to be George Lucas' worst offense. Since the celebrated release of The Force Awakens and the upcoming release of Rogue One, there has been a rise of positivity around the prequels. This may be because fans want to protect the Star Wars franchise.
Can't Keep The Stories Straight? You Need A Canon!
Star Wars is just one of the many epic franchises out there. Star Wars, like a myriad of other celebrated stories such as the Avengers, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter have inspired numerous official and unofficial prequels, sequels, and spin-offs. These narrative creations have taken a variety of forms; from fan-fiction and fan YouTube videos to television series, video games, and books. With so many elements and sub stories, it can be difficult to keep up with the real storyline and know what the creators, owners, and fans actually consider the true plot and subplots for the franchise. This confusion is why canon is needed! Canon is the material of a story that is accepted as official and is decided upon by the creator of the story or the person or business that owns the story.
We Think You Can Do Better
A lot of fans think that the Star Wars prequels spoiled the rest of the series by demystifying the working and fleshing out characters with dull uninteresting stories, character motivations and morals. Many people have postulated ways in which the prequels could have handled the characters and their storylines better, which has created whole new set of sub-stories and subplots.
Characters in any story must be, above all else, believable and consistent. And as a story grows and evolves the characters must do the same whilst retaining those qualities. In Star Wars Episode VII, The Force Awakens, we see the return of old characters and, though they have changed in many ways, we can understand how they got to that place and why their past decisions led them there. When writing about characters, respecting their consistency is integral to broadening their stories. In this lesson we will look at the Star Wars franchise in more detail and go beyond to create our own franchises with their own ever evolving cast of characters.

Not much on my mind recently. I've pretty much been doing nothing. I can't be bothered with anything recently.
Currently the website is just a convenient place to post and collaborate on models used in fundamental equity research. Right now you can find versions of a LVLT model I am developing in the "Project" folder of that website.
I haven't gotten anything done , but whatever. Today was a loss. So it goes. I've just been sitting around not getting anything done. I can't be bothered with anything these days, but I don't care.
My life's been completely bland today, but pfft. I haven't been up to much these days. It's not important. I don't care. That's how it is. Today was a complete loss, not that it matters.
I haven't been up to much today. Such is life. Pretty much nothing seems important. What can I say? Not much on my mind these days.
The best site ever!Thank's.Your site is great.I just happened to have a moment to surf the net and came across it.Thanks 4 the good information I have found on your site.
I've just been staying at home waiting for something to happen. Oh well. I haven't been up to anything recently. Pretty much nothing exciting happening lately, but I guess it doesn't bother me.
Not much on my mind lately. Basically not much notable happening to speak of. Eh. I've just been letting everything happen without me. I can't be bothered with anything lately, but I don't care.
I haven't gotten much done these days. My life's been basically dull these days. I've just been hanging out not getting anything done.
What are the real implications to huge debt beyond leaving it a younger generation of tax payers? Reason I ask is that I argued with a staunch Republican after the presidential election, and he asked me "what do you care about the national debt?", guess he was referring to my age (60 +). And being Mongo (not well informed), I did not have a good answer for him.
My mind is like a bunch of nothing. My life's been really unremarkable , but it's not important. I can't be bothered with anything these days. I just don't have anything to say lately.
I just don't have anything to say these days. I've just been letting everything happen without me recently. It's not important. I feel like a bunch of nothing, but that's how it is. I've basically been doing nothing worth mentioning. My life's been generally dull recently.
There are a few men in opera who don't mind doing beefcake. Friends and I used to joke that Samuel Ramey had a clause in his contracts mandating him baring his furry chest at some point.
More or less not much going on worth mentioning. Pretty much nothing seems worth doing. I've just been staying at home not getting anything done. So it goes. I've just been letting everything wash over me lately, but I guess it doesn't bother me. My mind is like a complete blank.
I feel like a fog. My life's been really boring today. I haven't been up to much.
Today was a complete loss. I feel like a complete blank. I don't care.

(Clockwise from top left) Andy Morley, Charlotte Bowker, Christopher Delbrück, Atem Mbeboh, Tony Marlow

ESI Media, the media owner behind the Evening Standard and The Independent, has appointed Andy Morley as chief digital revenue officer. In his role, he will continue to build international revenues for ESI Media, across The Independent and Evening Standard digital portfolio.
Morley brings over twenty years of expertise across digital audiences, agency sales, programmatic buying and selling, tech delivery and data.

Starting on 1 May, Morley will report to Zach Leonard, MD of digital at ESI Media, and Jon O'Donnell, MD of ESI Commercial.
"After 10 years in ad tech working for some amazing businesses, it was going to take a special type of organisation to make me change direction in my career," he said. "The Independent and Evening Standard digital brands are growing rapidly, and are well set for exponential growth in the near future. The management and editorial teams have genuine global ambition for both brands, so it is a privilege to join the team at this exciting time."
Social Chain promotes Bowker to business director
Charlotte Bowker has become business director at social-first marketing agency Social Chain. She will take on a broader remit across the Social Chain client base – ensuring strategic and operational best practice is delivered throughout the business. This remit extends across the development of existing client relationships and the on-boarding of new clients into the agency.
Bowker joined Social Chain in 2016 as account manager and has been instrumental in securing contracts from the likes of ASOS x Nike and Amazon, while managing and growing accounts including Nokia, Superdry, Thomas Cook and Revolution Bars Group. She has steadily climbed up the company from account manager to senior account manager, associate director and finally business director.
Bowker succeeds Oliver Yonchev, who was recently promoted to US managing director to assist with Social Chain's growth across New York, LA and San Francisco.

Marlow joins IAS from big data company Infogroup where he currently serves as CMO. Prior to Infogroup, he was the global head and vice president of B2B Marketing for Yahoo, overseeing B2B marketing, product marketing, sales learning, and sales insights. Before joining Yahoo, he was with Nielsen's online division in an APAC-focused role where he invented a class-leading technology for measuring brand impact in online environments. In this role, he worked directly with many global clients including Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Facebook.
"I'm beyond excited to join IAS as its chief marketer at such a critical and exciting juncture for our industry. Now more than ever, it is imperative for brands to make authentic connections with real people in safe environments," said Marlow. "IAS is poised to be the independent super-conduit that powers the highest standards of effectiveness and helps marketers everywhere exceed their goals. I couldn't be happier to be working with Lisa and the world class team at IAS to achieve all of this and more."
Equifax invests in Banks
Consumer and business insights firm Equifax has appointed Tony Banks as vice president of operations for the UK and Ireland.
Reporting directly to Patricio Remón, president for Europe, he will be responsible for overseeing all operational activities at Equifax sites including London, Wexford, Leeds and Nottingham. He will work closely with senior managers across the business to ensure the company's activities and working practices are carried out with maximum efficiency and aligned to positive customer outcomes.
Banks joins from RBS, where he held numerous senior roles including head of commercial customer service and head of operational service for corporate and institutional banking. During his time at RBS, he was heavily involved in major change projects within the business, including the integration of NatWest Bank.
"Tony brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and expertise to Equifax," said Remón. "He's a proven operations and transformation executive, who has delivered numerous initiatives benefiting end customers. We have a continuous focus on evolving and improving our operational procedures, which is of paramount importance to deliver excellent services for our clients. Tony's appointment will be integral to this process."
Barokas joins Platform161 board
Ben Barokas, founder of Admeld and SourcePoint, has joined the board of Platform161, a programmatic buying platform.
Barokas sold Admeld to Google in 2011, going on to run Google's Global Marketplace Development team for three years. Following that, he founded SourcePoint, a content compensation platform for publishers, where he is currently CEO. He previously ran advertising at JumpTV, and also spent six years at AOL running ad product development and operations.
"I am a great believer in Platform161's technology, and its modular approach. Platform161 is giving brands and agencies not just greater flexibility, but greater diversity of choice in forming their media buying strategies," said Barokas. "And the ability to develop more distinct approaches – to apply ad tech more creatively, is just what the market needs."
Dare gets new MD as part of leadership restructure
Atem Mbeboh has been appointed managing director at Dare, a subsidiary of the Inside Ideas Group (IIG), which was acquired by You & Mr Jones (Y&MJ) earlier this year. He will report to IIG's UK group CEO Sharon Whale.
Mbeboh steps up from his role as Dare's business director, a position he has held since 2018. He was previously deputy managing director at 4media Group. All delivery, creativity and tech at Dare will report directly to him, with no changes to these departments in terms of structure. He will lead a team that consists of Janey MacRae as client services director, creative director Ben Long and director of experience Roz Thomas.
"Dare's digital offering is second-to-none, and having been business director previously, I can attest to the pedigree of work that's being done here," said Mbeboh. "As managing director, I can't wait to start this exciting next phase for Dare and Inside Ideas Group."
Rachel Hatton, chief strategy officer at Oliver and previously strategy partner at Dare, will head up planning in line with the IIG group function that sits within the group's London office. Data, content strategy and EP all fall under this function, strengthening the group's strategic capability as it begins to roll out services to Y&MJ.
This core team will be further supported at group level by Rob Kavanagh, Oliver ECD, and Amina Folarin, head of HR.

Greenbrier sweeps Grovetown, girls qualify for state playoffs
Chris Gay
After getting off to a fast start Tuesday night against Grovetown, the Greenbrier boys needed a late rally to upend its rival.
Austin Canaday scored 10 of his team-high 24 points in the final two minutes as the Wolfpack bounced back late to knock off the Warriors, 63-59.
"That's real growth," Greenbrier coach Casey Heckathorn said. "We've been in that situation a lot of times, maybe 10 games this season, when we haven't made the plays late. We now know how to win."
The Wolfpack improved to 7-17 overall, 3-6 in region play. Greenbrier will likely face Grovetown (5-17, 3-6) again in the Region 3-AAAAAA Tournament play-in game Tuesday night at Evans.
The Warriors trailed 17-2 to start the game, but they recovered. Eric Graham II found his rhythm in the second quarter, swishing four of his six 3-pointers. He finished with a game-high 28 points.
Grovetown led 53-48 late in the contest when Canaday got hot. In the final two minutes, he drained a pair of 3-pointers from the corner, added a layup in transition and knocked down two free throws. The Wolfpack closed the game on a 15-6 run.
Richard Crawford added 15 points for Greenbrier, while Nick Murry chipped in with 13. Manny Bryson III scored 12 points for Grovetown.
During the doubleheader, Greenbrier honored former head football coach Mickey Derrick by inducting him into the school's athletic hall of fame. He is the school's lone inductee this year.
"This was not expected," Derrick said. "But it's very much appreciated."
The Greenbrier girls locked up a spot in the state tournament with an 80-74 win over Grovetown. The Lady Wolfpack improved to 11-12 overall (7-2 region) and clinched at least a No. 2 spot and a bye in the Region 3-AAAAAA Tournamen.
Natalie Wilson scored 23 points to lead Greenbrier, while Yasmine Avery added 22. Sydney Grayden chipped in with 18 points.
The Lady Wolfpack led by as many as 10 in the first half, but the Lady Warriors bounced back and went into intermission up 32-31. Greenbrier kept attacking Grovetown in the second half and jumped out front by nine on an Abbey Steele 3-pointer early in the fourth.
"We shot the ball better than we have all season," Lady Wolfpack coach Stefanie Basinger said. "To score 80 points against that team is phenomenal."
Grovetown fell to 17-7 overall, 8-1 region. Destiny Marshall led the Lady Warriors with 36 points.
The Lady Warriors bounced back and had a chance to tie the game in the final minute, but a pair of turnovers and an intentional foul put the game out of reach.

Smart Safe Healthy... is whatever it takes
A new initiative that is focused on strengths, not symptoms, and where recovery really means something. A new positive support strategy that ditches stigma, simplifies the conversation, and encourages everyone to find ways to pitch in.
We believe that if we attack so-called "diseases of despair" as we would any other deadly epidemic, and support people as they make progress, we can manage the population's risk, and reduce overdose deaths, suicide, and violence. We think the ultimate cure for addiction , trauma, and mental health concerns is a positive, safe world, a world where depression, trauma, and pain are addressed, and where people are supported as they build successful lives. The community's job is to create and sustain that world, and build a path to safety. This path must be strong enough to respond to the specific risks within the population.
It is time to take action. Smart Safe Healthy is our concept. We are building a network to realize this vision. Contact us to learn more.
Community supports that are strength-based and empowering
Accountable housing
Family re-connection
Whole-person, integrated care model
A full continuum of care for any population, anywhere
Accountable treatment is possible in any community.

[The Cockpit project website](https://cockpit-project.org/) is based on Springboard, which is a MIT-licensed preconfigured build of Jekyll, used for starting up a site quickly.

This repository manages the content and presentation of the Cockpit project's website, including blog articles, release notes, the Cockpit guide, and screenshots.

For more details on Springboard, see [jekyll-springboard](https://github.com/garrett/jekyll-springboard).

## Get Started

### Using a Podman container

#### Setting up the container for the first time

0. Install Podman (if you haven't already; it's preinstalled with Silverblue and available elsewhere):
   `sudo dnf install podman`
1. Create the container and install the dependencies with:
   `_scripts/container-create`

#### Running the Jekyll server locally

Run the website locally using Jekyll with:

1. `_scripts/container-jekyll`
2. Visit <http://127.0.0.1:4000/>

You can pass arguments to the `container-jekyll` command. To see everything available, pass `--help`.
The most useful arguments are:
- `-I` for incremental, which speeds up page compilation by recompiling only parts that have changed
- `-l` for livereload, which updates the browser when parts of the page change

So, for instant rendering of local changes, you'd run:

- `_scripts/container-jekyll -Il`

#### Updating when Gemfile / Gemfile.lock changes

1. `_scripts/container-update-gems`

#### Deleting the container

1. `_scripts/container-delete`

This removes the container and the local `.gem` directory.

### Installing locally without a container

In order to convert content into web pages, you will need to have Ruby, Bundler, and Jekyll installed.

1. Install Ruby & Bundler (as root):

   _Note: To become root, you must either run `su` or `sudo -s`_

   * **Fedora** / **RHEL** / **CentOS**:
     ```
     dnf install -y rubygem-bundler ruby-devel libffi-devel make gcc gcc-c++ \
     redhat-rpm-config zlib-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel tar nodejs
     ```

   * **openSUSE**:
     ```
     zypper install ruby2.1-rubygem-bundler ruby2.1-devel make gcc-c++ \
     libxml2-devel libxslt-devel tar
     ```

   * **Debian** / **Ubuntu**:
     ```
     apt update && apt install bundler zlib1g-dev
     ```

   * **macOS** / **OS X**:

     _Note: First, you must install Mac developer tools. Then, run the following:_

     ```
     gem update --system
     gem install bundler
     ```

2. Configure bundler to work as a user:
   ```
   bundle config path ~/.gem
   ```

3. Install gems (as user):
   ```
   bundle install
   ```

4. Run Jekyll:
   ```
   bundle exec jekyll server
   ```

## Work with the Site

As this site scaffolding is built on Jekyll, most all Jekyll documentation applies.

Useful references:
- [the official Jekyll documentation](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/home/)
- [CloudCannon Jekyll tutorials](https://learn.cloudcannon.com/)

### Release Notes

Release notes are in the form of a Markdown-formatted blog post, and are located in `_posts` with the date and URL slug as parts of the filename.

For more details, read [the section on blog posts](#blog-posts).

### Frontmatter

Frontmatter is embedded YAML, included in every document Jekyll processes. If the Frontmatter YAML is left out, Jekyll will not process the file, and will merely copy it out, unprocessed, to the output `_site` sub-directory.

Example Markdown file with Frontmatter (at the top):

```markdown
---
title: This is a blog post!
date: 2017-04-01
author: reedrichards
tags: foo bar baz
category: selfpost
---

Hi everyone! Welcome to my first blog post!
```

The author should be a nickname (ideally) and you should fill out information in the `_data/authors.yml` file.

Blog posts _need_ Frontmatter with most of the above fields. The fields for `tags` and `category` are optional. All other files that are to be processed by Jekyll should have at least the opening and closing Frontmatter lines (the two triple dashes `---`), and should _probably_ at least include the `title` as well.

### Markdown

Jekyll uses Markdown... specifically, GitHub-flavored Markdown via Kramdown.

You're able to use all Markdown conventions that GitHub adds on top (including tables, etc.) and also able to add in classes and IDs (among other things) thanks to Kramdown.

In addition, Jekyll uses what's called "Liquid" tags for simple logic and flow control. (Variables, if/then/else, loops, etc.) Liquid is supported not just in HTML and what Jekyll considers plaintext (JSON, XML, etc.), but also in Markdown.

If you would like to mix Markdown with a bit more advanced layout, you may want to consider capture blocks with Markdown rendering in Liquid tags. It looks like this (using a simple [Grlidlex](http://gridlex.devlint.fr/) grid):

```markdown
{% capture intro %}
## Intro title here

A list:

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
{% endcapture %}

{% capture details %}
Some other information to the side...
{% endcapture %}

<section class="grid">
  <div class="col">{{ intro | markdownify }}</div>
  <div class="col">{{ details | markdownify }}</div>
</section>
```

This allows you to mix-and-match content in pure Markdown with a bit of HTML for more advanced layout. Generally, you'll want to just keep eveything in pure Markdown and keep this technique for special pages (such as landing pages or anything that needs to be a little more complex).

### Liquid

[Liquid is a templating language](https://shopify.github.io/liquid/) originally made by Shopify and included in Jekyll by default.

There are basically two types of Liquid tags:
1. Objects, which look like `{{ objectname }}`
2. Tags look similar to objects, but instead of using double brackets, tags use percent signs. `{% tagname %}`

Both objects and tags take filters, which is written as a pipe followed by a directive. Filters can (sometimes optionally) take arguments as well, and can also be chained.

Simple example (the assignment is a bit silly here, but important to point out):

```liquid
{% if person %}
  {% assign role = person.job_title | capitalize %}

  Hello, {{ person.name }}!

  How long have you worked at {{ role }}?
{% endif %}
```

Please note that whitespace shows up in files. This usually doesn't matter much for HTML, but can matter a lot for XML or JSON (especially if the generated file loops and becomes large). Workarounds include breaking up Liquid tags over multiple lines and using throw-away capture groups for assignments.

Space-reducing example (mainly useful for loops):

```liquid
{%
  if foo
    %}{{
      foo.bar
      | split: "::"
      | join: ", "
      | strip
    }}{%
  endif
%}
```

- [Official Liquid documentation](https://shopify.github.io/liquid/basics/introduction/)
- [Jekyll Cheat Sheet](https://learn.cloudcannon.com/jekyll-cheat-sheet/) — Jekyll-specific liquid tags
- [Liquid for Designers](https://github.com/Shopify/liquid/wiki/Liquid-for-Designers) — an excellent overview on how to use Liquid tags in documents (both Markdown and HTML)

### Blog Posts

All blog posts belong in the `_posts` directory and must be formatted with the year, slug (usually a shortened title, used as part of the URL), and extension. This look like `2017-04-01-welcome-to-the-blog.md`

In addition, every blog post needs to have Frontmatter including the fields `title` and `date` (which should be the same as the filename's date) and should also include `author` to give the person credit (as well as to show up under the author on the authors page). In addition, a blog post may have `tags` and a `category`, but they're not necessary (only suggested).

#### Blog Authors

While not necessary, it is suggested to use nicknames for authors in the Frontmatter of blog posts.

There's a bit of logic in the blog post code that uses information from a `_data/authors.yml` file if it exists.

The format for an authors file looks like this:

```yaml
default:
  name: Site Admin

example:
  name: Ann Example
  twitter: example
  googleplus: somegoogleaccount
  facebook: somefacebookaccount
  gravatar: 5658ffccee7f0ebfda2b226238b1eb6e
  description: |
    This is an example author. To get a gravatar, do something like:
    echo -n email@example.com | md5sum

reedrichards:
  name: 'Reed "Fantastic" Richards'
  twitter: MrFantastic__
  description: |
    Along with a few of my friends, I was blasted by cosmic radiation,
    and now I'm super bendy and stretchy.

    We fight crime.
```

In the above snippet, `default`, `example`, and `reedrichards` are nicknames that are used in the blog posts. All fields are optional, but you'll probably at least want a `name`.

Note that some characters need to be escaped in quote marks. In the above snipped, the word __"Fantastic"__ has quotes around it, so it has single quotes around the string. In most cases, you can leave out the quote strings, but if in doubt, go ahead and wrap the string in quotes.

### Navigation

Navigation is controlled by a `_data/navigation.yml` file, if it exists.

Simply add navigation info in the correct format and your site will take care of all the navigation needs for you, including highlighting the current page.

```yaml
- title: Home
  url: "/"

- title: Software
  url: /software/

- title: Standards
  url: /standards/

- title: Search
  url: /search/
```

Note that the URL to "/" is in quotes. This is necessary, due to YAML. The other `title`s and `url`s skip quoting and still work, however.

You can even get fancy and add sub-navigation if you want to (although you probably shouldn't, for usability reasons):

```yaml
- title: About
  url: /about/
  nav:
    - title: Things
      url: /about/things/
    - title: FAQ
      url: /about/faq/
      nav:
        - title: Test1
          url: /test1
        - title: Test2
          url: /test2
```

### Customization

Site customization happens mainly in two places: `_config.yml` and `assets/site.scss` (or `assets/site.sass`). By default, the site CSS file doesn't exist, so you'll need to create it.

#### Config YAML

The `_config.yaml` file is pretty straightforward. It has a configuration by default that makes things work locally in a similar manner to how GitHub Pages works.

For more details on the `_config.yaml` file, [read Jekyll's documentation](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/).

#### Custom CSS

Creating the custom site CSS is easy. Run one of the following commands:

- If you're using **SCSS**: `cp assets/default.scss assets/site.scss`
- If you'd rather use **SASS**: `sass-convert assets/default.scss assets/site.sass`

_**Note**: If you convert the default file to SASS, the comments about turning on and off imports will be in the wrong place. Thankfully, editing the comments is an easy one-time fix._

Next step is to edit the site scss/sass file.

Inside the file, you'll see a bunch of variables at the top and a whole lot of imports underneith. The variables are pretty self explanitory, and let you quickly tweak the look of your site without having to actually edit CSS. Imports are there to include special styling for your site. A good set of defaults are turned on, but you can turn on and off several by uncommenting to turn on or commenting (or deleting) to turn off various styles.

Add any custom style specific to your site below all the imports.

#### Custom Logo

Drop your logo, preferably in SVG format, in the images directory. Call it `logo.svg` (or `logo.png` if you don't have it available in SVG). That's it! Done!

### Directory structure

Exporting rule of thumb: Directories and files starting with an underscore are seen by Jekyll (and some are vital in most Jekyll codebases, such as `_layouts`), but are not included in the output.

- **`_data`** — [Data files](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/datafiles/), in YAML (`yml`) or JSON format. Referenced in Liquid tags as `site.data.`_`FILENAME`_`.`_`DATA…`_.
  - `navigation.yml` _(optional, but strongly recommended)_ — Navigation used across the site
  - `authors.yml` _(optional, but recommended)_ — Information about blog authors

- **`_includes`** — Partials used for inclusion in documents and layouts, useful for abstracting complex HTML & Liquid logic, especially when it may be reused across the site. Includes are invoked as `{% include FILENAME.html key=value %}` (key and value are optional, and can be anything — value itself can be a variable or a string enclosed in quotes).

- **`_layouts`** — Templates for pages, especially HTML — most noteworthy layouts are `essential`, which is "bare-bones" HTML, and leaving `layout:` in Frontmatter blank for no layout at all (which is useful for JSON, XML, plain text, etc.).

- **`_posts`** — Blog posts go here, in Markdown format. Posts should contain basic Frontmatter (YAML at the top of the file). The filename matters, too: `YYYY-MM-DD-your-post-short-title-in-lowercase.md`. For more information, please consult [the official Jekyll documentation on blog posts](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/).

- **`_site`** — Output of the Jekyll compilation process. This should not be checked into git (and is already in the `.gitignore`). On a clean git checkout, this directory does not exist.

- **`assets`** — This is the place for CSS, JavaScript, and fonts. CoffeScript (`.coffee`) and SASS (`.sass`, `.scss`) are supported as Jekyll will process them to CSS and JavaScript, provided they have a Frontmatter directive (which can be empty, as in two immediate lines of three dashes `---`) for top-level processed files (files which are included via SASS includes need not — and even should not — have Frontmatter).
  - **`fonts`** — Any fonts served locally should go here.
  - **`lib`** — Custom CSS & JavaScript.
  - **`vendor`** — Included CSS & JavaScript from other projects (such as jQuery, etc.)

- **`blog`** — This is not the place for blog posts. It is, however, the place for files that make blogs work (the index file, author file, category files, feeds, etc.). In most cases, you don't need to touch what's here.

- **`guide`** — Cockpit-specific guides, dumped as HTML and included in the website.
  - **`latest`** — The latest guide. This is what the other pages should link. Other guides are included for posterity under their version number.

- **`images`** — Images live here. These are the images blog posts and other pages usually link to.
  - **`site`** — Site-specific images (various icons, logos, etc.) should be placed here.
  - **`logo.svg`** — Logo file, in SVG. Using `logo.png` is also supported, but using an SVG is recommended.
  - **`favicon.png`** — Large 512px square version of the site icon.
  - **`favicon-small.png`** — Small 16px square version of the site icon.

## Deployment

### GitHub Pages

If you're deploying on GitHub using GitHub pages, all you need to do is:

1. Click the "Settings" tables
2. Scroll down to "GitHub Pages"
3. Select "Master branch" (if it's not already selected)
4. Click "Save"

The first time it sets up your pages may take several minutes. Please be patient.

_**Tip**: If your development model has others fork this repo into their own personal namespace, they can follow these same directions to have their very own staging version of the site to demonstrate their changes._

_**Note**: GitHub may complain about the CNAME _"The CNAME cockpit-project.org is already taken"_. This is just a warningverything is fine and it should still work._

### Custom Deployment

The detailed process of deploying is outside of the scope of this document.

A quick overview, however, would be to do something such as:

1. Run `bundle exec jekyll build`
2. Sync the results of the `_site` directory to your webhost via some means (rsync, sftp, etc.)

Q: Detect [NSTimeZone localTimezone] secondsFromGMT property change In our app we're using an NSCalendar to process NSDate objects, for example to obtain the day component.
This NSCalendar instance is a singleton object because we do tons of date calculations in a short amount of time and we noticed that creating new instances with [[NSCalendar alloc] initWith...] each time we needed it was consuming too much time.
The problem is, that if you keep an NSCalendar instance throughout the application execution time, this instance keeps the timezone property unchanged, even if the timezone changed.
So, the problem is that we want to detect changes to the timezone and react properly by either:
self.singletonCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar]

or
self.singletonCalendar.timezone = [NSTimezone localTimezone];

Possible solutions we're discussing:

*

*Update the timezone property each time the application becomes active.

*Use KVO to detect timezone changes (tried this without success).

Thanks,
Nicolás.

Implemented proposed solution by Putz1103:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(significantTimeChangeNotification) name:UIApplicationSignificantTimeChangeNotification object:nil];

- (void)significantTimeChangeNotification
{
    NSTimeZone *localTimezone = [NSTimeZone localTimeZone];
    [KIDateUtils setCalendarTimezone:localTimezone];
}

A: I would do a mashup of two options.  I would update it on app start (or entering foreground).  But for while the app is currently in the foreground you can set a listener for time changes like the answer here:
"UIApplicationDelegate" has a method called "applicationSignificantTimeChange:" that gets called when there is a significant change in the time.

A: Have your singleton register for the UIApplicationSignificantTimeChangeNotification notification. When this is received, update the NSCalendar instance in your singleton.

In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, James McCloughlin game director at TT Games discussed the studio's technological progress regarding game design compared to 15 years ago. McCloughlin confirmed that instead of remastering episodes one to six, the studio is developing a whole new experience to align with current player standards.
"We wanted to create a new Star Wars game which was designed without the technical restrictions of the older games—mainly episodes one to six—and since then we have learned so much as a studio." He continued, "The older Star Wars games were great for that generation of gamers, but now players expect and need a lot more freedom in their play. With this game we hope to give players a brand new way to explore and enjoy the entire saga."
One of the main features expected to dramatically change will be the size and scope of episodes one to six. McLoughlin highlights that player freedom is one of the biggest expectations of gamers and cited his experience working on Shadow of Mordor, Shadow of War, and the Batman Arkham series.
"Freedom is a massive part of modern games—since the days of the cantina [in the early Lego Star Wars games], we have designed and developed over-world spaces from Middle Earth to Gotham City all with different challenges and hurdles to overcome. This game should be an amalgamation of all of what we have learned so far as a studio."
Furthermore McLoughlin explained that TT Games monitors consumer reception to its games, so after The Skywalker Saga is released the studio will consistently evaluate players' reactions (both good and bad): "We now have a greater toolset to evaluate play through analytics and user testing that just wasn't as readily available 15 years ago," he explained. "We can now very easily target sectors of play and enhance the areas we know get the most traffic, to help make the entire experience great from start to finish."
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is set to release in 2020 for PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. OnlySP's Mike Cripe got to see the game in action at E3, finding that it may yet be as good as the highly anticipated Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
