In 2021, there will be no such blockbuster like Cyberpunk 2077, but there are enough bright and experimental games that can give a lot of positive emotions and without the bugs of Cyberpunk 2077. We have selected the top eight most notable releases.
Far cry 6
(PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series, Stadia)
Far Cry returns to show who’s the king of FPS-open world games. The events of the sixth “numbered” part take place on the fictional island of Yara in the Caribbean. Here the Anton Castillo dictator rules with an iron fist and is played by the famous actor Giancarlo Esposito.
The main character’s task is to organize a revolution. You can choose the gender of the character at your discretion. You will fight in the jungle and in the city of Esperanza, the local capital. As before, it is allowed to use vehicles and call for help from partners, including animals.
The shooter is being developed by Ubisoft Toronto, responsible for Watch Dogs: Legion. Far Cry 6 does not have such gameplay innovations as in WD Legion, but there is a colorful villain, plus a setting that is clearly inspired by Cuba may attract a lot of players.
The FC 6 was originally supposed to go on sale on February 18th. Now the release dates are vague – within a year.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2
(PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series)
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is the sequel to the cult RPG from the first half of the 2000s. Hardsuit Labs and Paradox Interactive are working on it.
Vampires in the world of Vampire: The Masquerade don’t show their “presence” among people, and always try to control the “population” of vampires. But despite such precautions a catastrophe occurs. In Bloodlines 2 the streets of Seattle became full of vampires. Someone (or something) turns as many people as possible into bloodsuckers. Your character is among the “lucky ones”. In the end, it is he who must reveal who has so impudently violated the Masquerade.
Clans familiar from the first VtMB are waiting for you in the game. Exploration of locations and fights are implemented in the first person. The gameplay is diversified by the mechanics of “resonance”, when the hero receives certain increases in characteristics, depending on whether the victim is experiencing wild fear or blissful ignorance.
VtMB 2 will be released in the second half of 2021.
Horizon: Forbidden West
A direct sequel to the acclaimed action / RPG Horizon: Zero Dawn from Guerrilla Games and Sony. Forbidden West will focus on the environmental crisis.
Nature is dying in the Forbidden West. The huntress Aloy will find out the cause of the cataclysm. It will cross Utah, Nevada and California towards the Pacific Ocean. The map here is more spacious than in the original game. It contains mountains, deserts, valleys and, of course, the ruins of cities.
The gameplay will remain the same, plus the ability to dive to the bottom of lakes and rivers. In addition, Aloy will meet new tribes and mechanical monsters. I know its complete gamble to predict the release of Horizon Forbidden West on PC, but its more than possible, since a lot of PlayStation exclusives were ported to PC platforms.
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition
(PC, PS4, Xbox One)
In the aftermath of the controversial Mass Effect: Andromeda, it seemed that the series had wandered into a dead end, and BioWare with Electronic Arts would never return to it. Nevertheless, right now they are working on the next part and at the same time preparing a remaster of the legendary trilogy.
BioWare will rejuvenate textures, character models, shaders, and effects. Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, along with all DLCs, will be able to run in 4K native resolution.
It is important to keep in mind this: this is not a remake like Final Fantasy VII Remake and Resident Evil 2. Expectations should be tempered. Release window is spring.
Resident Evil: Village
(PC, PS5, Xbox Series)
Resident Evil: Village builds on the story of Resident Evil 7. The main action will unfold in a remote village in Europe, gloomy and frozen in time.
Chris Redfield, judging by the promotional materials, will appear as one of the villains. Ethan Winters will be the main character once more.
In RE: Village, Capcom will keep the first-person view and make exploring and fighting more fun than in RE7. And while you are waiting for the next Resident Evil game you may want to try something different, like pokies at Casinonic.
(PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series)
Five years have passed since the premiere of Halo 5: Guardians, and 343 Industries along with Microsoft are in no hurry to release a sequel. Master Chief will plunge into skirmishes only in the fall of 2021.
The destination will be a new Halo ring. In size, it is several times larger than the maps from Halo 4 and Halo 5 altogether. Fighting this time is tasked with the Exiles who left the Covenant.
Microsoft is vaguely hinting that Halo Infinite will be the last installment in the series in the usual sense. Halo 7 won’t follow. Halo Infinite will likely serve as a multiplayer platform with years of support like GTA Online and Destiny 2.
Deathloop is the brainchild of Arkane Studios, best known for Dishonored and Prey. The French team is out of habit experimenting with gameplay.
Deathloop’s protagonist Colt is trapped in a time loop on Black Reef Island. To break out of the 24-hour prison, you need to destroy eight visionaries. These are especially dangerous rivals living in different parts of the island. Any means are good against them, including parkour and supernatural abilities. And remember: Colt should be careful, because Julianne (hunter) is constantly prowling somewhere nearby. She is sensitive to the time loop.
The authors describe the world of Deathloop as “retro-futurism in the 1960s.” As you play through, they encourage you to think creatively and constantly try different approaches.
Deathloop is slated to debut on May 21st.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake
(PC, PS4, Xbox One)
Ubisoft Montreal’s original Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time rocked the industry in 2003. The French publisher entrusted the remake to its Indian divisions.
The project is based on the Anvil engine. Models were replaced, videos were redrawn, controls and combat system were modernized. The plot is the same: to defeat the cunning vizier, not to give him control over time.
PoP: The Sands of Time Remake will go on sale on March 18th.

FEATURE — With nearly 20% of adults and approximately 8% of children and teenagers in the United States experiencing clinical anxiety, it is the most common mental health concern today. Unfortunately, nearly 66% of individuals struggling with clinical anxiety do not receive treatment.
As a school psychologist in the Washington County School District, I know that everyone feels anxiety; it’s a way that our bodies alert us to potential danger. Healthy anxiety can drive us to change our environment for the better, push us to perform well and HELP US problem solve. However, anxiety that is so pervasive that it is overwhelming – unhealthy anxiety – can be incapacitating for children.
In a classroom, children who are experiencing anxiety often behave in ways that help them avoid situations that cause concern. They may withdraw, choose to avoid interactions, select easier activities and escape situations that may lead to failure. They may feel uncomfortable with new experiences and avoid social interactions.
So how can school psychologists help?
Because they work directly in schools, school psychologists are in a unique position to help support both the students with anxiety as well as the teachers who instruct those students. Some of the ways school psychologists can help include the following:
- Consulting with teachers to implement best practices in their classroom that help all students, including establishing routines, setting clear and reasonable expectations, providing opportunities for practice, pairing anxious students with supportive peers, noticing when students become anxious and allowing them time to cool down, providing warnings for any change in routine and reducing unexpected situations.
- Consulting with parents who have concerns and discuss what can be done together to produce the best outcomes for children.
- With parent permission, working directly with students to build anxiety-management skills or coping strategies. This could include helping students identify when they are anxious at school and how to self-regulate.
- Assisting school teams in creating a 504 plan, a document that ensures the student has access to accommodations based on a known health impairment, when necessary for a student with anxiety.
- Collaborating to develop specific behavior intervention plans that help teachers know how to help students with anxiety be successful at school.
In the Washington County School District, elementary schools have access to a program called “Move This World,” where students participate in brief classroom lessons to promote self-management and social awareness as well as practicing “emogers,” or simple problem-solving and anxiety-reducing strategies that are appropriate for kids.
If you have an elementary-age student, try asking them about their favorite “emoger” and see what strategies they are learning about to reduce their anxiety and stress at school.
But beyond this specific program, what else can parents do at home?
If a child is feeling anxiety at school, they are also most likely feeling anxiety at home. Parents can help children to notice, control and cope with anxiety. Parents can support children with anxiety by trying the following:
- Be consistent, especially when handling problems and discipline. Less guesswork for the child means less worry about what may or may not happen.
- Praise effort rather than achievement. “You must have studied hard for that spelling test,” rather than “Alright, 100 percent!”
- Be patient and prepared to be a good listener.
- Avoid being overly critical, impatient or cynical.
- Practice simple strategies that can help with anxiety, such as organizing materials; creating small self-talk scripts like “I can do hard things” or “I will do better next time”; and using deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation strategies.
- Keep realistic, attainable goals for your child.
- Keep consistent but flexible routines for things like homework, chores, activities, et cetera.
- Accept and communicate that mistakes are a normal part of growing up and no one does everything perfectly.
- Rehearse upcoming events that are anxiety-provoking for your child like speeches or performances.
- Seek outside help if the problem is persistent and interferes with daily life.
Anxiety is a common problem affecting children and adolescents today. It can frequently be mistaken for other issues such as attention deficits, lack of motivation or low ability. If left untreated and unidentified, it can increase over time, creating more problems as the child ages.
With appropriate support, children with anxiety can be successful, healthy and happy. They can discover the skills they need to control anxiety early and be better self-advocates for their own learning. School psychologists and other school-based mental health providers are here to help. Please reach out to your child’s school if you think they struggle with anxiety.

Kurchatov’s father was a surveyor and his mother a teacher. In 1912 the family moved to Simferopol in Crimea. In 1920 Kurchatov entered Simferopol State University, from which he graduated three years later with a degree in physics. In 1925 he was invited to join A.F. Ioffe’s Physico-Technical Institute of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). Kurchatov’s initial studies concerned what is now called ferroelectricity. In 1933 he shifted his research interests to the maturing field of nuclear physics, familiarizing himself with the literature and conducting experiments. With his colleagues, he published papers on radioactivity and supervised the construction of the first Soviet cyclotrons.
News of the discovery of fission by the German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in 1938 spread quickly throughout the international physics community. In the Soviet Union, the news was cause for excitement and concern about possible applications. Kurchatov and his colleagues tackled the resulting new research problems, conducting experiments and publishing articles on spontaneous fission, uranium-235, chain reactions, and critical mass. Inspired by these results, Kurchatov and his colleagues submitted a plan in August 1940 to the Presidium of the Soviet Academy of Sciences recommending further work on the uranium problem. The academy responded with a plan of its own as awareness grew of the military significance of the atom. With the German invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, research on nuclear fission ground to a halt, and the scientists were pressed into other tasks. Kurchatov worked on degaussing techniques to protect ships from magnetic mines and later took over the armour laboratory at the P.N. Lebedev Physics Institute of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. By early 1943, intelligence reports about the British and American atomic energy project, and fear of a German atomic bomb, had helped spur a renewed Soviet research effort. In April 1943 Kurchatov was made scientific director of Laboratory No. 2 (LIPAN). After the bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin ordered a crash program, and Kurchatov’s responsibilities grew enormously as he implemented a program comparable to the Manhattan Project in the United States.
Kurchatov directed the construction of the first nuclear reactor in Europe (1946) and oversaw development of the first Soviet atomic bomb, which was tested on August 29, 1949, four years after the United States conducted its first test. Kurchatov also oversaw the thermonuclear bomb effort, with key tests in August 1953 and a more modern design in November 1955.
The nonmilitary applications of atomic power explored and developed under Kurchatov’s leadership included, besides electric-power stations (the first of which began operation in 1954), the nuclear-powered icebreaker Lenin. Kurchatov also directed research on the “ultimate power source,” nuclear fusion, centring on a means of containment of the extremely high temperatures that are needed to initiate and sustain the fusion process in a fusion reactor.
Kurchatov was elected to the Academy of Sciences in 1943, and he was awarded the Hero of Socialist Labour in 1949, 1951, and 1954. A further honour was his burial in the Kremlin Wall in Moscow and the renaming of his institute to the I.V. Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in 1960 (redesignated the Russian Research Centre Kurchatov Institute in 1991). Also, the Kurchatov Medal was established by the Academy of Sciences and awarded for outstanding work in nuclear physics.

Beetlejuice? or Betelgeuse?
The Rogue Speaks:
Do you remember what Alec Baldwin USED to look like?...back in 1988 when he was young? Well, I do! One of my favorite movies is "Beetlejuice!" Alec Baldwin and Genna Davis played a couple of young deceased ghosts who love their married life in an old house. When the house is sold to Charles Deitz and his wife, Delia, played by Jeffrey Jones and Catherine O'Hara, the dead couple hire a "bio-exorcist" named Beetlejuice, played by Michael Keaton, to remove the horrible two-some and their Goth daughter, Lydia, played by Winona Ryder, from the home that they love. The film was directed by Tim Burton, so you know that it was weird, bizarre, hysterical, etc. But enough about that movie!!
The real Betelgeuse is a star in the constellation Orion. It is the 8th brightest star in the universe!
In the illustration above, you will find it in the upper left side. The constellation, Orion, is a winter constellation and is part of the Winter Triangle. Astronomers think Betelgeuse is a young star, only 10 million years old. It has a very high mass, so it has evolved rapidly. It is quite huge. If it replaced our sun, the surface would stretch out beyond the asteroid belt. All the planets that are no farther away than Mars would be engulfed by it. In the Illustration below, you can see that Betelgeuse has a reddish hue.
O.k., now comes the scary part. Some astronomers believe that Earth could be getting a second sun if Betelgeuse collapses, because it is running out of fuel. If that happens, we would see a second sun! There is also the chance that for at least a few weeks, there would be no night on Earth!! Sounds pretty bad, doesn't it? Well you can relax!
If Betelgeuse does go "super nova" our planet will be showered with particles that would be very beneficial to us earthlings! It actually would provide Earth with elements that are so necessary for our continuity and survival!
Actually, since Betelgeuse is so far away from us, anywhere from 497 and 789 lightyears away, this event could have already occurred. If so, the light just hasn't reached us yet. Stick around, earthlings! It could happen!!

What the escape rate of water vapor into space?
I understand that some water vapor escapes into space but whats the amount say per year?
|Aug12-12, 02:57 AM||#2|
seems to be negligible: from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosph...esses_on_Earth
Because of the temperature regime of Earth, CO2 and H2O are sequestered in the hydrosphere and lithosphere.
|Aug16-12, 07:43 AM||#3|
I think that you would be very hard put to get a figure for the loss. This article ( http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...ir-atmospheres ) which is referenced from the Wikipedia Atmospheric Escape article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_escape ) is quite interesting.
One interesting thing to take away from it is that while there might by hydrogen and oxygen loss it's very unlikely that full molecules of water escape from the atmosphere intact.
If you read to the end you will see that there are estimates that when the Sun becomes 10% brighter in a billion years time then there will start to be greater water loss but it will take another billion years to lose most of the water. So you can imagine that the rate of water loss at the moment is quite low.

SMT topics in focus
Speed or precision – electronics manufacturers must currently pick one or the other when they want to install an SPI system on their production line. They cannot have both. The new Process Lens, on the other hand, transforms the “either or” into “both” on the highest level. A completely new HD optical system with a resolution of 20 microns in high-speed mode reduces the inspection time by up to 70 percent compared to traditional SPI systems. In the only slightly slower high-resolution mode, the system inspects with a resolution of 10 microns. Features like these make the new Process Lens by far the fastest and most precise high-end inspection system in the industry.
“With the new Process Lens, ASM combines the need for maximum precision from the semiconductor field with the speed requirements in SMT production,” explains Jérôme Rousval, ASM Solutions Marketing Manager and specialist for SPI systems. “Users no longer need to accept a compromise with this system, which allows them to produce with more flexibility, efficiency and productivity than ever before. And when they use the option to expand it to the world’s first self-learning Process Engine system, they have reached a fundamental milestone on the road to the Integrated Smart Factory.” High-speed meets high-resolution With the new Process Lens, speed and precision are no longer mutually exclusive but combined in a single machine. To inspect a standard board with an area of approx. 69,000 square millimeter and more than 6,020 pads, the totally new SPI system from ASM takes only 3.0 seconds in high-speed mode or 3.7 seconds in high-resolution mode with resolutions of 20 and 10 microns, respectively. Covering 50 by 50 millimeters (2,500 sq.mm), the scanning area of the 26-megapixel camera is 277 percent larger than the previous version’s with 4 megapixels and 30 by 30 millimeters. The number of micro-mirrors on the DLP (Digital Light Projector) chip that generates the moiré patterns was increased from 8 million to 20 million for a much higher resolution by cutting each mirror’s size roughly in half. Each mirror is electronically controllable so that the stripe patterns can be projected completely vibration-free without any movement of the light source.
Flexibility and investment protection
The ability two switch between high-speed and high-resolution modes via software commands makes the production line much more flexible. The new model also features a high degree of investment protection because it equips users with the ability to easily accommodate future inspection tasks with no need for recalibrations, technicians, or inspection program changes.
New generation of algorithms
The DLP chip is controlled by a completely new generation of algorithms that generate the moiré patterns much more quickly and precisely. The time required to change the mirrors’ positions to generate the stripes is an impressive 16 microseconds. In addition, test programs can now be exchanged between machines and platforms. The same applies to important machine characteristics such as camera rotation. When these properties are transferred to another machine, the software adjusts them automatically in order to ensure the same quality of measurement results.
Accurate down to smallest detail
Another focus area was the development and refinement of the control mechanisms for accurate operation in the microsecond range. Vibrations from other areas of the inspection system are balanced out, and light control is optimized by compensating for delays until full luminance has been achieved. ASM has also made improvements to the system’s thermal stability because only if all optical elements of the Process Lens are immune to thermal factors can even the smallest distortions in the recorded images be excluded. All elements are manufactured with a 3D printing process, and no part gets accepted if it has a less than 99-percent reliability rating. And to optimize the heat management in the machine, the heat dissipation system was redesigned from the ground up.
Measure what matters
The development of the new Process Lens is based on ASM’s decades of expertise as the market leader in the semiconductor segment. More than 150,000 vision systems installed worldwide and over 400 engineers who work exclusively on vision-related matters speak for themselves: “Measure what matters”. By understanding what is measured and knowing how to interpret the results, the Process Lens delivers all the relevant data needed for making process improvements. The result: dramatic reductions in pseudo-errors, user assists, and line stops. With the possibility to expand the system with artificial intelligence including autonomous process control and optimization, the Process Lens becomes an indispensable prerequisite for the comprehensive automation of SMT production in the Integrated Smart Factory.
As the industry’s technology leader, ASMPT offers a broad portfolio of best-in-class products. Our solutions stand out with their perfect interaction of hardware, software and service components – powerful, smart, and ready to raise your production to a new level.

You. Are. Worthy.
Sometimes, life knocks me down. I know I’m not alone in this, it happens to everyone. For me, it usually happens when stress builds up and then the tiniest thing will happen that will make me spill over. This happens in somewhat of a pattern and some spills are bigger than others, leaving me feeling blue for a longer period of time, and sometimes I bounce back quickly! There are so many factors that play into this roller coaster called life and it’s the highs and lows that make the ride worth it.
I am super thankful to be surrounded by amazing family and friends who are constantly supporting me and reminding me of my worth, even when I don’t see it myself. I always have more than one person to turn to and can count on them to lift me up when I need them most. I’m also a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and this weekend alone, two very specific things happened to me (separate from the uplifting conversations I had with my support system) to remind me of my worth when I was doubting myself.
“I am here to remind you that you are… Just as talented, just as hard working, just as creative and just as brilliant as anyone and everyone else. You are infinitely WORTHY.”
This post touched my soul and while Kara made excellent points that I truly agree with, what struck me most was how educators refer to themselves as “less than” because they don’t value their worth – eyes opened! I am not alone, but it doesn’t make it right. We are worthy. I am worthy. You are worthy.
Second, yesterday during class, my students and I were talking about something and the movie “Trolls” came up. I told them that I hadn’t yet seen the movie and they told me I just had to watch it and “it’s on Netflix!”. Oh, I am so glad I took their advice and watched this movie with my boys this afternoon – it, too, was exactly what I needed in that moment. When the song “True Colors” came on (and don’t get me started on the amazing snuggles I got from my youngest during this song- a very rare moment which also happened exactly when I needed it), I felt a huge lump in my throat – even though I know that this song has been around for ages. But this song, this version, at this exact moment, within the context of the movie, moved me to tears. Go ahead and close your eyes and really listen to the song, hear the message, and feel its impact touch your soul. We are enough. I am enough. You are enough.
If I need to be reminded of my own worth from time to time, surely I am not the only one. So, hear my words, believe my words, and repeat them to yourself… You. Are. Worthy.

The formation of high energy density matter occurs in inertial confinement fusion, astrophysical, and geophysical systems. In this context, it is important to couple as much energy as possible into a target while maintaining high density. A recent experimental campaign, using buried layer (or "sandwich" type) targets and the ultrahigh laser contrast Vulcan petawatt laser facility, resulted in 500 Mbar pressures in solid density plasmas (which corresponds to about 4.6×107J/cm3 energy density). The densities and temperatures of the generated plasma were measured based on the analysis of X-ray spectral line profiles and relative intensities.

In right this moment’s fast-paced world, the pressures of life often take a toll on our mental health. Anxiety and depression are increasingly widespread mental health considerations, affecting millions of people worldwide. While various therapeutic approaches and medications exist to manage these conditions, various therapies like massage have gained recognition for their potential to ease the burden of hysteria and depression. In this article, we will discover the therapeutic benefits of massage on mental health, shedding light on how this historic follow can provide relief and promote total well-being.
The Mind-Body Connection
The relationship between the mind and the body is intricate, with physical health deeply intertwined with mental well-being. When stressors accumulate, the body responds by releasing stress hormones like cortisol. Chronic stress can lead to physical ailments akin to muscle tension, headaches, and digestive issues. Simultaneously, it takes a toll on mental health, rising the risk of tension and depression.
Massage as a Relaxation Method
Massage remedy, with its roots dating back 1000’s of years, offers a holistic approach to health by concentrating on each the physical and mental aspects of well-being. One of the fundamental benefits of massage is its ability to induce relaxation. As a massage therapist’s skilled palms knead and manipulate muscles, stress begins to melt away. This relaxation response helps lower cortisol levels and triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural “really feel-good” chemicals. This prompt aid from stress can alleviate the symptoms of tension and depression.
Nervousness and Depression Reduction
Research studies have shown that common massage sessions can significantly reduce signs of hysteria and depression. A meta-evaluation revealed within the Journal of Scientific Psychiatry in 2010 concluded that massage remedy had a moderate to robust positive impact on each anxiety and depression, with participants experiencing reduced levels of those mental health issues after receiving massages.
Improved Sleep Patterns
One of the significant challenges for individuals with nervousness and depression is disrupted sleep patterns. Sleep disturbances can exacerbate these conditions and create a vicious cycle. Massage can promote higher sleep by relaxing the body and mind, making it simpler for individuals to go to sleep and stay asleep. Improved sleep quality leads to higher mood regulation and enhanced total mental well-being.
Mindfulness and Body Awareness
During a massage, individuals are encouraged to focus on the sensations they experience in their bodies. This follow fosters mindfulness and body awareness, helping individuals join with their physical and emotional sensations. This heightened awareness can lead to a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection, enabling individuals to higher manage stress and emotional responses.
Social Interaction and Emotional Support
Massage remedy additionally provides an opportunity for social interaction and emotional help, which may be particularly beneficial for these dealing with nervousness and depression. The therapeutic relationship between the shopper and the massage therapist creates a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can specific their emotions and receive comfort and compassion. This emotional assist can be invaluable in the journey towards improved mental health.
Personalized Massage Approaches
Massage remedy is not a one-measurement-fits-all solution. Completely different massage techniques can be tailored to individual needs. For instance, Swedish massage is known for its stress-free and stress-reducing effects, while deep tissue massage targets muscle stress and chronic pain. By working carefully with a professional massage therapist, individuals can choose the massage approach that greatest aligns with their particular mental health goals.
Massage remedy is more than just an opulent spa treatment; it has proven therapeutic benefits for mental health. By reducing nervousness and depression, improving sleep patterns, fostering mindfulness, and providing emotional help, massage can be a valuable addition to a complete mental health strategy. While it should not replace traditional medical treatments or therapies, it can complement them and enhance overall well-being. If you happen to’re struggling with anxiety or depression, consider incorporating massage therapy into your wellness routine – it may be just what your mind and body want to search out balance and peace.

In 2017, Sabrina Chakori founded the Brisbane Tool Library Inc., a social enterprise based on a sharing economy which aims to reduce household waste. She writes for Live for Less about why the library was set up and how you can be part of it.
What if you could have access to hundreds of specialised tools that you didn’t have to buy? Which project could you finish or start? What if you could borrow all your camping gear without having to stock it?
The Brisbane Tool Library Inc. (BTL) will be operating soon – a place where you can borrow belt sanders, lawnmowers, drills, camping tents, sleeping bags, badminton and tennis equipment and much more.
Why did we set up the library?
The current “take, make and dispose” model of our economy operates on a continuous extraction of resources, causing many social and environmental issues.
The main goal of our Brisbane-based social enterprise is to go beyond this model. Therefore, in basing the system on a real sharing economy that prioritises access over ownership, it will reduce the need to purchase things or the need to allocate space to stock things. It also allows people access to specialised items they may otherwise not be able to afford.
The 40 volunteers involved in this project have been collecting tools, camping and sport equipment for all 2017 and we are currently seeking an affordable space in order to open and operate in 2018. Beyond storing and maintaining our inventory, the Brisbane Tool Library Inc. will be a community hub hosting practical workshops and events that would open the conversation about a new economy.
Creating a circular economy
A circular economy means that products no longer have a life cycle with a beginning, middle, and end. Our tool library is building a fundamentally different way of thinking, showing that waste is a resource. The project will play an important role in extending the amount of time a product is in use, while maximising utilisation.
When is it opening?
Donations are flowing in and The Brisbane Tool Library Inc is currently negotiating with two locations in South Brisbane to open the library. For announcements and news you can follow us on Facebook.
Interested in this project?
- DONATE your unused tools. If you, or your business, have tools, camping and sport equipment, please contact us and we will pick them up.
- SUPPORT OUR CROWFUNDING CAMPAIGN that will be launched soon: you can become a user-member of the Brisbane Tool Library for just $60/year.
- Join our amazing TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS and create the change with us.
- Let’s explore and CREATE A VALUABLE PARTNERSHIP with your business or organisation.

Surprise, surprise. The UFO cloning cult now says it won’t allow DNA testing on the supposedly cloned baby. They say that a lawyer’s request of a court to take custody of the baby because her very creation is abuse prompted them to re-think the testing. The lawyer argued that because human cloning creates lifelong medical problems, the girl needs court-appointed guardians.
My opinion is that the cloning is a hoax, but that shouldn’t prompt us to let our guard down. Eventually, someone will develop the technology to clone living human beings. But right now, they have the technology to clone babies in order to kill them as embryos to take their stem cells. And some of the cloning bans being proposed still allow this cloning-abortion. We need to pressure our elected representatives not to settle just for a ban on reproductive cloning, but also on so-called therapeutic cloning. (It’s certainly not therapeutic for the dead baby.)

We had three hatches of eggs that have resulted in 24 chickens. They are getting big, fast! The older two hatches have got most of their feathers now - still a few downy spots here & there. We're starting to be able to tell ladies from gents.
Joe retrofitted a section of the barn into an inside/outside chicken coop. There's a smaller free-standing coop that we've been cycling groups of chickens into - for fresh grass & bugs.
The kids love tending the chickens - Levi always has one in hand.

Archbishop Pell reminds world's bishops about hell
Sydney's Archbishop George Pell chose to speak about the "forgotten" teachings on purgatory and hell during his intervention at the current World Synod of Bishops in Rome.
Archbishop Pell told the bishops that their duty is to encourage "the development of genuine Christian hope". This, he said, involves an essential appreciation of the final judgment, which marks "the establishment of universal justice".
He said: "One could say that there is considerable silence and some confusion on such Christian hope especially as it touches the last things, death and judgment, heaven and hell.
"Limbo seems to have disappeared, purgatory has slipped into limbo, hell is left unmentioned, except perhaps for terrorists and infamous criminals, while heaven is the final and universal human right; or perhaps just a consoling myth.
"Christian teaching on the resurrection of the body and the establishment of a new heavens and earth, the heavenly Jerusalem, are a vindication of the values of ordinary decent living, while the final judgment, the separation of the good from the evil, marks the establishment of universal justice not found in this life."

Title: A novel differential evolution algorithm for no-idle permutation flow-shop scheduling problems
Authors: Quan-Ke Pan, Ling Wang
Addresses: College of Computer Science, Liaocheng University, Liaocheng, 252059, P.R. China. ' Department of Automation, Tsinghua University, Beijing, 100084, P.R. China
Abstract: A novel Discrete Differential Evolution (DDE) algorithm is proposed in this paper for solving no-idle permutation flow-shop scheduling problems with maximum completion time (makespan) criterion. Firstly, individuals of the DDE algorithm are represented as discrete job permutations, and new mutation and crossover operators are developed. Secondly, a local search algorithm based on insert neighbourhood is embedded in the DDE algorithm to balance the exploration and exploitation and to enhance the local searching ability. In addition, we present two simple approaches to calculate makespan and a speed-up method for insert neighbourhood to improve the efficiency of the whole algorithm. Computational simulations and comparisons based on some well-known benchmarks demonstrate that the DDE algorithm is not only superior to the improved greedy and Kalczynski-Kamburowski heuristics in terms of searching quality, but also superior to the particle swarm optimisation and differential evolution algorithms according to searching quality, robustness and efficiency. [Received 9 July 2007; Revised 10 October 2007; Accepted 30 October 2007]
Keywords: no-idle permutation flow shops; makespan; discrete differential evolution; insert neighbourhood; speed-up method; local search; flow shop scheduling.

Food for Fines in September at BPL
Here’s a sensible trade: Birmingham Public Libraries will waive $1 in fines for each non-perishable food item you bring in, up to $10 per cardholder, during the month of September. If you have a lingering fine due to books that were found under beds or in the depths of toy boxes after the summer reading program, here’s your chance to clear your name and benefit Birmingham food banks.
It should go without saying that the food can’t have passed its expiration date, but as a busy mom who may not have carefully checked the pantry lately (quick, what vintage is your Ranch dressing bottle?), I mention this so you don’t have to be embarrassed at the check-out counter.


3D printing is much talk. Followers allow themselves to be dazzled by the world that it opens up, the more adventurous are inspired by the one it could give life. Olivier Van Herpt is part of the second category of people. After designing and realized by himself a couple of 3D printers, he tried to challenge the limits of material, safety, engineering, form and function and started work with the ceramic in order to create objects larger that the traditional 40 cm (the maximum dimension for 3D objects before deforming). A new extruder and clay hard are the hidden secrets of the young designer. The result is an extraordinary panorama of possibilities, hybridization and shades, far from a production actually “mechanic”.

Join Send a Cow and our partner Riverford for a live discussion about an innovative, nature-based solution which is helping smallholder farmers in Uganda to combat the devastating impacts of pests.
How can farmers use nature-based solutions to boost food security and combat climate change?
An introduction to Push-Pull, an organic integrated pest management system
Our speakers Guy Singh-Watson, Sheila Halder and Pamela Ebanyat will discuss pest management and how a low-cost, integrated pest management technology called Push-Pull could be part of the solution.
In Uganda farmers are seeing marked increases in pests such as stemborer moths, fall army worm and striga weed.
But Send a Cow’s brand new project in Kyotera, Uganda hopes to bring a low-cost, low tech solution. The project, supported by Riverford, will work with 400 smallholder farmers to develop sustainable, secure and diverse livelihoods while controlling stemborer moths and striga weed through the implementation of the integrated pest management system Push-Pull.
We look forward to welcoming you to this event, please use the form above to reserve your place. If you have any questions please contact Partnerships@sendacow.org
Guy is the founder of Riverford Organic Farmers and a Patron of Send a Cow. As a self-confessed veg, Guy has over the last 30 years taken Riverford from one man and a wheelbarrow delivering homegrown organic veg to friends, to a national veg box scheme delivering to around 50,000 customers a week.
Pamela Ebanyat is acting country director for Send a Cow Uganda. Pamela joined the charity in 2015 as programmes manager for Uganda, overseeing Send a Cow projects across the country. Pamela is particularly interested in helping vulnerable families to increase their income and improve nutrition through the farming techniques they learn as part of Send a Cow's approach.
Sheila Halder is Farm Systems Manager at Send a Cow. Her role is varied but her primary focus is supporting technical staff on crop, vegetable and livestock production and ensuring staff have a solid understanding of sustainable agriculture and how farmers can put our teachings into practice.
Riverford and Send a Cow
Riverford has supported Send a Cow for over a decade, raising in excess of £430,000 for a number of our projects. Read more about our partnership.

Shoot, trap, drug and destroy your opponents with a ridiculous arsenal of weapons at your disposal. Battle along side your teammates and claim your victory on each hole. With the course as your battleground and the cup as your goal, you'll need to avoid obstacles, teleport distances and jump across a melody of puzzles. Zinger! bundles all this excitement and more with a rich visual style and cartoon atmosphere; blending a 2D backdrop into a 3D world.

I would like to save computation time by using an axisymmetric 2D computational domain instead of a 1/4 pie shaped 3D computational domain. Seems like there should be a way to do this but I'm not seeing it, the only choices are 3D, and 2D with symmetry but no axial symmetry as an option.
A screenshot of my geometry is attached (sectioned). It is a valve seat simulation, flow is from top to bottom. The valve seat itself is a tight clearance which requires a small mesh and results in long computation time.

text: Surface-confined porous molecular networks can be formed by self-assembly at the liquid-solid interface by controlling the subtle interplay between molecules, solvent and substrate. Typically, directional interactions such as hydrogen bonding or metal-ligand interactions are at play in defining the topology of the networks. However, porous molecular networks maintained only by van der Waals interactions are at the focus in this Highlight. The liquid-solid interface at atomically flat conductive substrates such as graphite is an excellent medium to support the self-assembly of alkylated molecules. Molecular symmetry defines the shape of the pores, ranging from diamond to honeycomb and Kagomé. Solvent often plays an important role and sometimes several porous and non-porous structures are formed. The solute concentration is a key factor too, the formation of porous patterns is favoured at low concentrations. These pores, with diameters ranging from about three nanometres to more than seven nanometres, can be filled with guest molecules. In some cases, these porous topologies can only be formed upon addition of template molecules, which direct the structural transformation from a high-density to a low-density, i.e. porous, phase. The template molecules stabilize the pores. Following appropriate design principles, multicomponent networks can be formed, containing up to four different organic molecules.

Apple has $137 billion of cash on its balance sheet (as of 12-Feb-2013.) Microsoft has $68 billion, Google $48 billion, Cisco $45 billion, and Oracle has $34 billion.
Too much cash on a company’s balance sheet is not necessarily a good thing. Large cash balances reduce shareholder value because they produce lower returns on invested capital. Further, excess cash puts pressure on corporate management to put the cash to work. Often, management chases wrongheaded acquisition strategies or make poor capital allocation decisions.
Peter Lynch alluded to a bladder theory of corporate finance in his classic, “One Up On Wall Street: How To Use What You Already Know To Make Money In The Market.”
Bladder theory of corporate finance states that the more cash that builds up in the treasury of an organization, the greater the pressure to piss it away. Stock repurchases, dividend increases, and special dividends are effective uses of excessive cash on balance sheets. J Hugh Liedtke, former CEO of Pennzoil, believed that “companies should pay out cash so the managers wouldn’t drain all the money away.”
