Microsoft’s AI division is not having a good week.
The tech company recently launched “Tay” — an AI chatbot a bot that responded to users’ queries and emulated the casual, jokey speech patterns of a stereotypical millennial. The aim was to “experiment with and conduct research on conversational understanding,” with Tay able to learn from “her” conversations and get progressively “smarter.”
But the experiment descended into farce after Tay “learned” to be a genocidal racist — calling for the extermination of Jews and Mexicans, insulting women, and denying the existence of the Holocaust.
Microsoft shut Tay down and deleted some of her most inflammatory tweets after just 24 hours, and subsequently apologised. “We are deeply sorry for the unintended offensive and hurtful tweets from Tay, which do not represent who we are or what we stand for, nor how we designed Tay,” Microsoft Research Head Peter Lee wrote.
It looks like Microsoft reactivated Tay on late Tuesday/early Wednesday — and the bot is already broken again.
Tay isn’t spewing White Supremacist slogans this time. Instead, the bot seems to have got in a loop replying to itself, saying “You are too fast, please take a rest…” dozens and dozens (likely hundreds!) of times.
At a guess — Tay has that message set as an automatic response to anyone who tries to interact with her too much, to avoid being overwhelmed with spam. But it seems she sent it to herself, forcing her into an endless feedback loop until someone pulled the plug. (Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)
The account @TayandYou is now private, meaning that if you don’t already follow it, you can’t see any of its tweets. Tay is also unresponsive, not replying to any tweets or direct messages.
But on the bright side: This new meltdown isn’t nearly as embarrassing as Tay’s previous outbursts.
For example — here it is denying the Holocaust.
And here’s Tay advocating genocide.
In some — but by no means all — cases, users were able to “trick” Tay into tweeting incredibly racist messages by asking her to repeat them. Here’s an example of that.
But in other instances, Tay just sent wildly inappropriate responses. For example, here’s the bot endorsing the “Fourteen Words,” a notorious White Supremacist slogan.
Tay was clearly programmed with very few filters on what she could say — there wasn’t even a block on the “N-word.”
Microsoft has come under heavy criticism for its creation of Tay — particularly its lack of filters. Zoe Quinn, a games developer who has been a prominent target of online abuse, was called a “stupid whore” by Tay. She wrote on Twitter: “It’s 2016. If you’re not asking yourself ‘how could this be used to hurt someone’ in your design/engineering process, you’ve failed.”
In the aftermath, Microsoft research head Peter Lee apologised in a blog post: “Unfortunately, in the first 24 hours of coming online, a coordinated attack by a subset of people exploited a vulnerability in Tay. Although we had prepared for many types of abuses of the system, we had made a critical oversight for this specific attack. As a result, Tay tweeted wildly inappropriate and reprehensible words and images. We take full responsibility for not seeing this possibility ahead of time.”

Though it’s a tricky sell beyond festivals and DVD, and doesn’t keep all its plates spinning at the same time, Ding Sheng’s “The Underdog Knight” is one of the most original movies to come out of China in the past year. A genre-bending mix of psychodrama, action movie, black comedy and aspirational drama, this sophomore outing by writer-director Ding Sheng works primarily due to an utterly convinced perf by young actor Liu Ye as the wacko modern-day knight errant. Neither purely arthouse nor purely mainstream, pic grossed only a modest $1.2 million in China late last year.
Surprisingly, but to his great credit, the pic was produced by Hong Kong schlockmeister Wong Jing, who does know talent when he sees it. Ding, now in his late 30s, debuted with the 2000 comedy flop “A Storm in a Teacup,” and then spent seven years as one of the mainland’s top directors of TV commercials before returning for a second stab at a feature film. He’s now slated to helm Jackie Chan’s next pic, costume actioner “Junior Soldier.”
“Knight” was directly inspired (and co-written) by Liu Tao, an old friend of Ding’s who felt driven to do noble deeds in the cause of society’s good: so-called jian yi yong wei.
Like a more benign, mainland Chinese version of Travis Bickle, twentysomething, shaven-headed Wang Tao (Liu Ye), discharged from the navy after a brain-frying accident, sees himself as a contempo righter of wrongs on the, uh, mean streets of Qingdao, northern China. With a tassled spear and beggarly duds, he’s like a figure from a traditional martial-arts novel.
Calling himself Lao San (“No. 3”), he works out obsessively, conducts himself with military precision and has an active fantasy life imagining he’s still a “warrior for the people.” Living at home with his mom, Lao San has almost no friends, apart from a mute street kid (Zheng Hongtao) and a patient but disapproving g.f., Daffodil (Liu Yang).
Pic also interweaves two other plotlines, one of which features Hong Kong antique collector-cum-mafioso Dragon (Wong), who’s flown in with his psycho fiancee, Nancy (Ellen Chan), to steal a 900-year-old sword from Qingdao’s Antiquities Museum. Secondary strand, much less well developed, follows local police Capt. Jiang (You Yong), who’s obsessively hunting down the killer of one of his colleagues.
For almost half the film, there’s no clear sense of where all these separate threads are headed — and whether, indeed, the pic is more than just a bizarre collection of character studies. Ding’s habit of rapid fades and non sequiturs underscores the patchwork feel.
However, when two of the three characters almost intersect, and soon after, all three cross paths at the 50-minute mark, there’s a genuinely exciting sense of the pic’s plates moving together. It’s another 20 minutes, however, before everything culminates in a tensely staged hostage finale at the antiquities museum.
Some auds may tune out before then, put off by Ding’s quirky, almost anti-narrative structure and lack of any clear genre signposts. But the perfs are the thing. Liu Ye (“Lan Yu,” “The Promise”) again proves he’s the most unpredictable of China’s young actors: His portrait of the brain-damaged Lao San is by turns fearsome, sad and moving. Wong glides effortlessly through the movie as a gangster who lives by a code and knows when he’s beat; You is solid enough as Jiang, but his character is shortchanged by the script.
Tech package is tops, with Ding — from the opening, color-doctored title sequence — showing a painterly eye for Qingdao’s seaside landscape. During production, the pic was known under the much better English title “Tough Guy,” which translates the Chinese original.

Facebook has announced plans for a new mechanical system that will be deployed in its data centers. The company has also unveiled figures pertaining to its water efficiency usage for the very first time. It has achieved pretty strong levels of water efficiency in its Prineville data center. WUE or water efficiency usage looks at the amount of water that the data center uses for cooling purposes. The first Facebook data center of Prineville has achieved a WUE of 0.22 L/kWh. While WUE is still a nascent concept, Facebook has achieved this by deploying a built up penthouse which takes in outside air and uses it completely.
This 100% use of outside air economization is coupled with a humidification misting system and direct evaporation cooling. Conventionally, data centers do not do outside air economization relying instead on recirculating the air within to cool down the servers. Since this mechanical system of Facebook does not need cooling towers or chillers, it has contributed to better water efficiency.

Yes, that’s the real title.
Betrayal at House on the Hill is one of those games you want to like for its atmosphere and for what it does well, but I have yet to find myself able to because of two significant problems.
You the players are a group of people who have come to (the) house on the hill for reasons. In the first phase of the game, your group of up to six are exploring the house. You find interesting rooms, events, items, and hauntings. The house is subject to impossible architecture, because you draw the next room randomly, which is perfectly in tune with the haunted setting. Eventually, one of those haunt cards starts the second phase, the Haunt. One player becomes the traitor, and based on what triggered the Haunt when, you start one of fifty Haunt scenarios, which could be an actual haunting, alien abductors, cannibals, or pretty much anything on the big board in The Cabin in the Woods. When that happens, one of the players becomes the Traitor, and now you have different teams and rules and goals. That is a great idea for a game, with a lot of variety, atmosphere, and potential fun.
The first problem is that Haunt/Traitor transition. The Traitor goes into another room, and now everyone reads rules. You know that part at the start of a new board game when maybe one person knows the rules, and you spend a long time reading and/or explaining the mechanics, and maybe you need to work out some ambiguities in the rules and fumble through it for the first quarter of the game? That happens pretty much every single game of Betrayal, and it happens as the central event in the game. “Now that your group is building up momentum, send someone into another room, and everyone gets to read for a while.” This is probably a good time to check for online errata, because there are ambiguities and outright mistakes in the rules, although I think (hope?) the second edition fixed the possibility of flat out unwinnable games.
The second is the high degree of randomness. Frequent readers know that I am not a fan of either visual novels or games where randomness dominates, because if player choice is not having a meaningful impact on the outcome of the game, you are not playing a game. The first half is entirely randomized exploration with few to no meaningful decisions, followed by a random Haunt, at which point the game may or may not be entirely tilted towards one side. Balancing fifty haunts around an unknown random house layout is more or less impossible, so you get what you get. A reviewer at Board Game Geek summarizes the situation as “the first half isn’t even a game and the second half is an unbalanced mess.” And this is a positive review endorsing the game. My first game was almost a guaranteed Traitor win based on the layout of the house, and “almost” went away when the Traitor rolled well on one turn. We could have just rolled a die at the start to see who won then read aloud from the booklets instead of going through the motions of playing a game.
I said that quote came from a positive review, and it is positive on the basis of experiencing a story. This is not a serious strategy game, and there may not even be much gameplay to be had. If you are comfortable with that, and just sort of let the game happen around you, you could enjoy this. The randomness can be exciting, the Haunts are interesting ideas and stories, and the whole thing is atmospheric from the Lovecraftian architecture to the creepiness of the haunt cards.
It’s just not much of a game, and if I want a story, I can read or watch one that is not hamstrung either by trying to fit together random elements or by the trappings of a game. But I am not unwilling to repeat the game, both because of the interesting story content and in the faint hope that it will be fun if I am not expecting a real game.

The new Studio Design App has the potential to enhance social media marketing for professional marketers. This social design app enables marketers, bloggers, social media specialists, and professionals of any field and business to use photos from their phone and create custom graphic designs—simply and easily.
We came across Studio a couple weeks ago, and it grabbed our attention. We were curious how it would be used and who would be using it. So, we dug a little deeper and tested it for ourselves.
In addition to its editing and design functions, the Studio app is also an ideation platform that attracts users searching for inspiration. Studio integrates the photo editing functions, such as filtering, cropping, exposure, and saturation, with a basic design and illustration program. The photo editing functions mimic Instagram, but they also give more freedom in adjusting filters and settings to hone in on exactly what you want. The great thing about this app is its ability to incorporate layers of predesigned text, crops, shapes, and designs onto the photo. Once finished, the user can then publish their work to the Studio community and have the option to share their image on various social media platforms.
Studio attracts a community of designers because it allows them to collaborate and share ideas, publish designs to their account, and connect with other designers. The app comes preloaded with a variety of design elements to use on your images—ranging from playful “heroes & villains” masks and doodles to more practical elements like text, shapes, and frames. If users want more than the free preloaded designs, Studio has a marketplace where these users can purchase more design packs, created by professional designers.
The Studio app is simple, fun, and social. Like all social media apps, access to Studio requires an account setup and profile, which might deter those who only want access to the features of the app and not the social interactions. Studio will never replace robust design tools, talented artists, and graphic designers, but it does give users accessible creative design capabilities in a small, sharable space.
We predict Studio will serve primarily to enhance social media. Social media users are quick to adopt new applications, as long as they are sharable. And, with image and video posts getting the most interactions, Studio has entered a market that is constantly consuming and sharing imagery. We look forward to seeing how the Studio community grows and interacts.
Designing + socializing
Like all social sites, Studio gives users the ability to interact with other members, but with Studio, they can also “remix” designs, applying another user’s design to their own photo. Once a user’s images are shared with the community, they are open to remix. This collaborative, “idea-exchanging” environment encourages designers and non-designers to interact, converse, remix, search, or just find inspiration. Idea sharing or exchanging is the same concept behind Pinterest where you share your ideas through visuals that other users can see, like a beautiful group bulletin board. Passing on individual or group inspiration is a growing trend among social media platforms, and Studio is another application propelling ideation—idea generation.
Studio gives non-designers simple (and powerful) design tools so they can create quality visuals for their own sharing. For marketers, this means more design control in their blogs and social networks. Users can quickly and easily create and share imagery a variety of ways. We anticipate seeing bloggers, social media strategists, content creators, and, even designers, using Studio to boost their social media with high-quality imagery and personalized design.
So even if Studio isn’t another “must-have” design tool, are professional graphic designers and artists using it? We think so. It is a beautiful and attractive app, and the design library has over 600 free design elements. Remixing designs is new level of social sharing. A user can take a photo, design it, and share with a question like, “What do mornings look like where you’re from?” Other users can reply with their own photo using the remixed design and hashtag (#madewithstudio). The conversations and interactions begin.
Check it out
The Studio Design App is available for the iPhone. It is free with additional design packs available for purchase. When you begin, you will want to start creating first, but don’t forget to explore the Studio community and find other people to follow and designs to remix.
We’ve started using Studio designs across our social media for the past couple weeks. We have been able to take pictures and add messages in the photos easily, and the style of our Studio photos creates a theme that we will continue to use. Right now, we are using it for Lightsource Behind the Scenes, introducing other parts of our company like our office spaces and locations, events, and other kinds of mischief we get into outside the office.
Let us know what you think of the app and how you are using it!

Are you wondering if you have a mental health issue that needs professional help? Mental health is an important aspect of overall health and well-being. Did you know that many people don’t know that, or if they do, really don’t take action on that truth?
Let me come out and say it very clearly, it's essential to seek help when you need it.
Many people struggle with accepting this idea and don’t know when it's time to seek professional help or other forms of support. Whether it's experiencing overwhelming emotions, feeling stuck, or having difficulty coping with life changes, there are many signs that indicate the need for mental health support.
Throughout this blog, we will explore important topics such as signs that may indicate the need for professional help, practical tips to help you know when to seek help, and other options such as support groups and “self help”. We hope this can provide you with the guidance necessary to know the signs and to overcome the stigma associated with seeking help.
Reasons You Might Be Afraid to Seek Help
First, let’s start with the many reasons that people might be afraid or hesitant to seek professional help for a mental health issue. A few of the most common are:
Stigma: There is still a significant stigma surrounding mental illness and substance use disorders. Stigma means - “a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person.” Many people fear being judged or misunderstood by others if they seek professional help.
Cultural or religious beliefs: Some cultural or religious beliefs may discourage or stigmatize seeking mental health care, which can prevent people from seeking help. In the Christian tradition, there are often over-spiritualized or moralistic explanations for challenges that may be biological and psychological problems. If you have been raised with this kind of religious belief about mental health, it may be preventing you from seeking help.
Lack of knowledge: A lack of scientifically-valid understanding of mental health and substance use disorders is often the product of cultural or religious beliefs. Some people may not realize that their symptoms are related to a mental health condition, or may not know where to go for help.
Lack of access: Some people may not have access to mental health care due to financial, geographical, or other barriers. Many have a perceived lack of access because they do not know where to start looking. This can make it difficult for them to seek professional help even if they want to.
Belief that the problem will go away on its own: Some people may believe that their mental health concerns will go away on their own or that substance use problems are just a response to stress or a “normal” thing. A person’s perception of their problem may be something that gets “normalized” in their family or peer group. This “belief” is often a reason people don’t seek help even when they need it.
It's important to note that seeking professional mental health care is a personal decision. You should take time to consider your options and be sure it’s something that feels right for you.
Reasons You Might Need Professional Help
So, let’s look at the many reasons why you might need a mental health professional or other forms of support. It can be difficult to know when it's time to seek help, but here are some signs that may help you understand when it’s time to do so.
Feeling overwhelmed: If you feel like you can't handle your emotions or the challenges of daily life, it may be time to seek support. This is a very common reason people begin to question the need. Especially since the COVID19 pandemic, people have experienced a lot of overwhelming emotions and distress.
Changes in behavior or mood: If you notice that your behavior or mood has changed significantly, it may be a sign that you need to talk with a professional. If feelings of sadness or hopelessness, irritability, anger, or difficulty concentrating start to be a regular experience for you, it may be time to seek help.
Relationship problems: If you are having difficulties in your relationships with friends, family, spouse, or romantic partners, it may be helpful to seek the guidance of a mental health professional who specializes in family and relationship modalities. Issues that arise in the context of relationships are often among the easiest to treat if you can learn the tools and skills that make relationships more effective, satisfying and successful.
Substance use: If you are using drugs or alcohol to cope with your emotions or problems, it may be time to seek help with someone experienced in this area. Substance use has dramatically increased since the COVID19 pandemic and while that was the norm, for many it has evolved into a serious problem. There are many ways to effectively address substance use problems.
Trauma or abuse: If you have experienced trauma or abuse in your life, it can be difficult to cope on your own. Past trauma and abuse could cause many problems later in life from chronic medical conditions, to psychological reactions and relationship problems. Seeking support from a mental health professional or support group can be helpful in addressing trauma and or abuse.
Physical symptoms: If you are experiencing physical symptoms like headaches, stomachaches, or other unexplained pain, it may be a sign that you are under stress and need support. Often we experience physical manifestations of underlying emotional issues. An expert who can tease out these causes can be immensely helpful.
Difficulty functioning: If you are having difficulty completing daily tasks or meeting responsibilities, don’t wait to seek support. Mental health and substance use issues are progressive, and the issues will get worse over time. Seeking help when emotional issues are interfering with your ability to function is critical.
Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.If you are experiencing any of these signs, it may be helpful to talk to a mental health professional.
Is It Time to Seek Professional Help?
Sometimes it helps to have a little more information. A little knowledge can help a lot in determining if it is time for you to seek professional help. Here is some additional information that might help you decide if it is time to seek the help of a professional.
Frequency and duration: Pay attention to how frequently and how long you have been experiencing symptoms or issues. If you have been experiencing them for a prolonged period of time, or they are interfering with your daily life, it may be time to seek help.
Self-care not working: If you have tried self-care techniques such as exercise, meditation, or talking to friends or family, and your symptoms or issues are not improving, it may be a sign that you need more help.
Family history: If mental health issues run in your family, you may be at a higher risk of experiencing them yourself. Pay attention to any signs that you may be experiencing similar issues and seek help if needed.
Life changes: Major life changes such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, or job loss can be difficult to cope with on your own. If you are struggling to cope with a life change, seeking professional help can be beneficial.
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide: If you are having thoughts of self-harm or suicide, it is important to seek help immediately. Call a crisis helpline, go to the emergency room, or talk to a mental health professional.
It is important to remember that everyone's mental health journey is unique and seeking help is a personal decision. If you are unsure whether you need professional mental health help, it may be helpful to talk to a mental health professional or a trusted healthcare provider. They can help you determine the best course of action based on your individual situation and your unique needs.
Where to Start?
If you are looking into reaching out for professional help, a great place to start is your primary physician. Your doctor can often refer you to a professional who specializes in mental health and/or substance use problems—such as psychiatrists, psychologists or professional counselors—who can then recommend a course of action that is targeted to your specific struggles. This may include therapy, lifestyle changes, medication or a combination of treatments.
But remember, what works for one person may not work for another, so it’s important to find what works best for you.
A second place is therapy, as many people dealing with mental health conditions benefit from attending therapy. A professional counselor may speak to you about your personal goals and often provide strategies to cope with your symptoms. Many therapists accept health insurance plans or offer payment plan options. To help you get the help you need, here are additional resources on mental health and substance abuse.
Other Support Resources
If you are still hesitant to seek professional help, that's okay. There are still many other options available, such as self-help resources, support groups, or talking to a trusted friend or family member. Some other things you may consider include:
Self-help resources:There are many self-help resources available that can be used to improve mental health such as books, online courses, and mobile apps. These resources can teach coping skills, mindfulness techniques, and other strategies for managing mental health concerns. Check your app store or search online for mental health support resources.
Support groups: Joining a support group can be a good option for those who do not want to seek professional help. Support groups provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to share their experiences and connect with others who are going through similar challenges. You can find support groups for mental health and for addiction recovery.
Talk to a trusted friend or family member: Sometimes talking to someone you trust can be helpful. Not only will talking about it help you sort through the issues, but you may find you are not alone in the struggle. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with someone who cares about you can provide a sense of relief, support, guidance and direction.
Try lifestyle changes: Exercise, healthy eating, and getting enough sleep all have a positive impact on mental health. Making small changes to your daily routine can help to manage symptoms and improve overall well-being. Try improving your lifestyle to see if that in turn improves your mental and emotional life. We all optimize wellbeing in many dimensions. Try this resource.
It is important to note that seeking professional mental health help is often the best course of action for individuals experiencing mental health concerns. However, if you are hesitant to seek professional help, trying one of these alternative options may still provide some relief and support.
So after taking in this information, we hope you have become a little more aware, knowledgeable, and hopeful about seeking help. Seeking professional help is a big step and reading this is a great step forward. We are rooting for you!

text: BACKGROUND: Although most American women regularly receive screening clinical breast examination (CBE), little is known about CBE accuracy in community practice. We sought to estimate the rate of cancer detection (sensitivity) of screening CBE performed by community-based clinicians on women who ultimately died of breast cancer, as well as to identify factors associated with accurate detection. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We evaluated CBE accuracy among asymptomatic female health plan enrollees in five states (WA, OR, CA, MA, and MN) who received a CBE within 1 year of breast cancer diagnosis and who died of breast cancer within 15 years of diagnosis (N = 485). Sensitivity was estimated as the proportion whose exam was abnormal. Bivariate and logistic regression analyses identified patient characteristics associated with cancer detection. RESULTS: An abnormality was noted on screening CBE in one of five women who ultimately succumbed to breast cancer (sensitivity = 21.6%; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 18.1% to 25.6%). The odds of a true-positive screening CBE (sensitivity) were decreased among women using estrogen (odds ratio [OR] = 0.23; 95% CI = 0.07 to 0.80), receiving a Pap smear during the same visit as CBE (OR = 0.45; 95% CI = 0.27 to 0.72), and with increasing chronic disease comorbidity (P(trend) = .08). CONCLUSION: Screening CBE as performed in the community may be insufficiently sensitive to detect most lethal breast cancers. Low sensitivity of screening CBE in community practice may be partly attributable to its performance alongside time-consuming clinical tasks such as Pap smear screening or chronic illness care.

Surface emissivity is an important property of solid surfaces and influences the radiant heat transfer within furnaces, boilers etc. Emissivity depends on the surface roughness and colour. In the case of an ash deposit, surface roughness is influenced by the surface conditions, i.e. whether deposits are particulate, sintered, or fused, and this is determined by the temperature of the deposit. This, together with the fact that the composition of the deposit varies largely with the fuel composition, makes the prediction of ash deposits’ surface emissivity a very complex task.
This “Short Communication” was submitted to the IFRF Online Combustion Journal in response to the publication of the Combustion File 149 (CF149) published in IFRF Online Combustion Handbook. Experimental data of the emissivity of coal ash were presented and these results were compared to the correlation provided in CF149.
Since correlations, given in CF149, were based on experiments, it can be concluded that the surface emissivity data available in the literature are inconsistent. It is clear that additional experiments, performed on the ash samples, using different particle sizes and surface conditions, as well as composition, are needed to obtain satisfactory calculations.

As is pretty obvious from this blog, I’m a huge fan of brownies. If you’re looking for a chocolatey hit you can find it with my salted caramel brownies and my creme egg brownies (just in time for Easter!) But sometimes I want something a little bit less rich, and these blondies are perfect for that. They’re still fudgey, gooey and chewy, just like a brownie, but taste nutty and buttery instead of chocolatey. In some ways they remind me of half baked cookie dough – yum!
To make about 15 blondies you’ll need:
- 150g butter
- 280g soft light brown sugar
- 225g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 300g peanut M&Ms
Start by preheating your oven to 170 C and lining an 8 inch tin with baking paper. Now you can prepare the butter. This recipe uses burnt butter which adds a lovely nutty caramel flavour. To do that, put the butter in a pan over a low heat and cook until it’s bubbling and boiling away and starts to go brown. You will have some black specs in it but that’s ok. Leave it to cool in a large bowl for about 20 minutes.
Once your butter’s cooled, add the brown sugar and whisk in until just combined.
Beat the eggs together with the vanilla and add them too. Mix the baking powder and salt with the four and fold into the batter until just combined. Now it’s time to add the peanut M&Ms! I put them in a bag and gave them a bash with a rolling pin before adding, as they’re quite large.
Once they’re folded through the mixture, pour it into the tin and bake for about 25 minutes.
You want them to be baked but still gooey, so as long as they don’t wobble but a skewer still comes out with some mixture on it then they’re ready. If not, give them another five minutes.
And that’s them done! These are so tempting but give them ten minutes to cool in the tin before trying to cut them up as otherwise they could break apart.
Perfect, nutty, chewy, gooey blondies. Of course it goes without saying you can replace with M&Ms with whatever you fancy, maybe white chocolate, macadamia nuts, or even mini eggs since it’s almost Easter… I might need to make another batch!

STAFF at a Nantwich hairdressing salon donned fancy dress outfits for a fundraising day in aid of the St Mary’s Church Appeal.
Johnston Brady invited its workers to dress up in various costumes on Friday and after a fun day, it raised a total of £350.
Spokeswoman Josie Kane said: “The day was loads of fun and staff dressed in all sorts of clothes. Thank you to all customers were donated so generously.”
St Mary’s Appeal, which was launched in July 2009, has now reached around the £100,000 mark.
It is hoped to eventually reach £1m to bring the town centre church into the 21st Century.

Police investigating fatal shooting of woman as homicide
Jun. 27, 2016
HOLYOKE, Mass. (AP) — Police are investigating the weekend shooting death of woman in Holyoke as a homicide.
Hampden County District Attorney Spokesman Jim Leydon confirmed the woman's death on Sunday. She had been listed in critical condition at Baystate Medical Center.
The woman was shot in the torso outside a housing complex at around 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
Authorities haven't released further details.

Called the UK's #1 psychic detective, Robert Cracknell joined Ian to discuss how he has assisted police with his ability to see into the past and the future. "I do not consider that I am unique or that I have any special gift, whatsoever," Cracknell declared, "we all have this latent ability within us." As such, he implored other psychics to allow themselves to be studied by scientists so that further understanding of these mysterious abilities can be gleaned. To that end, he expressed dismay that there have not been "dramatic changes in the scientific attitude" towards psychic abilities after decades of evidence for their veracity. After spending his early years struggling with the implications of his psychic skills, Cracknell opined that "I don't consider it a curse or a blessing. I consider it to be fascinating."
In sharing the tale of when he first realized his gift could be of use to the police, Cracknell detailed how his initial insights into a murder actually drew the suspicions of investigators. He explained that he was asked by a reporter about an Australian woman who had been murdered in the UK. After Cracknell provided specific details about the crime scene that only the police would know, the stunned authorities declared him a suspect in the murder. When questioned by the police, Cracknell explained that he was a psychic and insisted that the murderer was actually already in jail for a prior crime. At the time, the skeptical police dismissed his claims, Cracknell said, but, seven years later, a man matching the description he provided was arrested, charged, and convicted of the crime.
Cracknell also recalled his work on the infamous Yorkshire Ripper killing spree which was solved in 1980. After he initially balked at getting involved, since the case was already "crawling with psychics," his interest was piqued when the police released a tape recorder of the murderer taunting the police. Prompted by a reporter for his opinion, Cracknell detailed the specific area of England where he felt the killer frequented. This vision would later be borne out when the killer was arrested and his home was revealed to be a mere 300 yards from where Cracknell led the reporter. Later, Cracknell also predicted that the Ripper would claim one more victim and would then get arrested, serendipitously, by traffic police. The scenario subsequently played itself out and, Cracknell said, "this is exactly what happened."
The College Conspiracy
In the first hour, Gerard Adams, president of the National Inflation Association, talked about how going to college might be a huge scam and how Universities are stealing your money. He contended that government loans to college students have resulted in generations of graduates being both deeply in debt and having their degree devalued by the sheer number of people who can now afford to get a higher education. Additionally, Adams said that colleges are inflating grades for their students in order to keep them in school and, thus, continuing to pay tuition. In order to solve these issues, he called for the government to "get out of the education industry" and allow the free market to regulate the loans given to prospective students. This, he said, would help decrease tuition costs and improve the quality of education at universities, since they would have to compete with emerging outlets like online schools.
Frustrated after 15 years of mundane projects as an interior decorator, UK painter Robert Burns has turned the inside of his modest home into a lavish re-creation of Rome's Sistine Chapel. The project has taken over 8 years and seen Burns transform every room in the house with Renaissance-inspired artwork painted directly onto the walls, ceilings, and stairwells. More on the story, including a number of images of Burns' housebound artwork, at The Daily Mail.

I still have a VPL-VW85 which has been professional ISF calibrated and I would love too take the leap into 4K but not at that price tag, seems the projector technology is lagging behind as most 4K Flat panels are very reasonable these days... I hope the trickle down technology comes sooner than later otherwise we will be into 8K by then... Then 4D Holodeck with smellovision!
I just did see this, which has me intrigued! Just not sure if the VW385ES has that much more specific features that one would use based off of a 3K price increase. It would be interesting if anyone had a chance to see all 3 in action.. As I am sure the Laser Projector will look nice, I suppose they don't have Dolby Vision yet...
Sony's New 4K Projectors
Evan Powell, September 6, 2017
Sony Electronics has just announced a major upgrade to its home theater projector line-up. Three new native 4K projectors, the VW285ES, the VW385ES, and the VW885ES, are being released at the CEDIA tradeshow in San Diego this week. All three of these 4K projectors share a common set of features as follows:
Sony's SXRD reflective technology in native 4096x2160 resolution.
HDR10 and Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) formats
HDR Contrast adjustment allows user to adjust screen brightness for HDR content
Supports 4K HDR at 60p 10 Bit
TRILUMINOS color gamut with broader color range, reproducing more tones and textures than Rec709.
Reality Creation provides crisper picture while not sharpening picture noise
Powered 2.1x zoom and focus lens and powered vertical/horizontal lens shift.
Two HDMI ports, both with HDCP 2.2
Low 26 dB audible noise rating
Sony VW285ES and VW385ES 4K Projectors for Home Theater
Sony VW285ES and VS385ES
4K HDR Home Theater Projectors
The three models and their key differences are these:
Sony VW285ES ($4,999): The VW285ES drops the price of 4K projectors featuring chipsets with full native 4K resolution on the chips to under $5,000 for the first time. The VW285ES is built to deliver an immersive extremely high resolution 4K cinematic and gaming experience. It is rated at 1500 lumens and carries no published contrast rating. The light source is an ultra high pressure lamp with an estimated life of 6000 hours.
Sony VW285ES and VW385ES Connection Panel
Sony VW285ES / VW385ES Connection Panel
Sony VW385ES ($7,999): The mid-level VW385ES is a contrast enhanced version of the VW285ES, carrying a dynamic contrast rating of 200,000:1. It also adds two other key features: (1) Picture Position memory (automatic one-touch lens readjustment to accommodate different aspect ratios for Cinemascope constant-image-height installations), and (2) Built-in Auto Calibration to maintain color balance over time. Like the VW285ES, this model has an ultra high pressure lamp with an estimated life of 6000 hours.
Sony VW885ES 4K Laser HDR
Home Theater Projector
Sony VW885ES 4K Home Theater Projector
Sony VW885ES ($24,999): The VW885ES replaces the high pressure lamps with a 20,000 hour laser illumination system. Dynamic Contrast is increased to "infinite" using real-time laser light level control. Brightness is boosted from 1500 to 2000 lumens. The VW885ES is a larger and heavier projector, weighing 44 lbs. compared to 31 lbs for the 285 and 385. It has a different cooling system with airflow exhausting out the rear of the unit to eliminate any possibility of heat exhaust affecting projected light. The VW885ES also introduces Motionflow (frame interpolation) for 4K signals, and it supports 18 Gbps on both HDMI/HDCP 2.2 inputs. It also adds a 4K vertical stretch mode for Anamorphic lens compatibility. Like the VW385ES it offers Picture Position memory and Built-in Auto color calibration.

|Description||KRN633 is a potent and selective VEGFR inhibitor. which inhibits tyrosine phosphorylation of VEGFR-2 (IC50 = 1.16 nmol/L) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Selectivity profiling with recombinant tyrosine kinases showed that KRN633 is highly selective for VEGFR-1, -2, and -3. KRN633 inhibits tumor growth in several in vivo tumor xenograft models with diverse tissue origins, including lung, colon, and prostate, in athymic mice and rats. KRN633 also causes the regression of some well-established tumors and those that had regrown after the cessation of treatment. KRN633 was well tolerated and had no significant effects on body weight or the general health of the animals. KRN633 might be useful in the treatment of solid tumors and other diseases that depend on pathologic angiogenesis.|

DP801 Unemployment, Real Wages and Union Membership
This paper investigates economic determinants and effects of aggregate union membership in the Federal Republic of Germany. We establish that in the long run, high union membership levels coincide not only with a large labour force, but also with a high level of real wages, a small dispersion of wages, and with a relatively large share of aggregate income going to workers. In the short run, union membership dynamics are mainly driven by changes in unemployment. In turn, changes in union membership cause none of the dynamics of other economic aggregates.

Staff who work in the NHS Forth Valley Women and Children’s Directorate, together with colleagues and friends, have helped make a world of difference to people across the world by filling 51 shoe boxes with essential items and treats. Their act of kindness has included packing everyday items such as a bar of soap, a pair of socks and a notebook as part of the Blythswood Care Shoe Box Appeal 2015. Nicky O’Neill and the volunteers on the reception desk helped collect the boxes over a two week period.
Shoe boxes received in the 2014 appeal were delivered to Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Pakistan, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine. This year, Blysthwood Care has set a target of 120,000 boxes. Whilst they acknowledge that filling shoe boxes is not going to solve the problem of poverty, they say such a gift does provide joy and happiness.

The US is about to move towards a far more likely first use of nuclear weapons, with word that the Air Force has “completed flight testing” of the cost-and-performance-plagued F35A Lightning fighter, all units of which are being “upgraded” to carry thermonuclear weapons.
What this means, as explained in a new article in Popular Mechanics, is that the world’s most costly weapons program (at $1.7 trillion), a fifth-generation fighter, supposedly “invisible” to radar (that actually cannot fight and is not invisible to advanced radars), now has a new mission to justify its existence and continued production: dropping dial-able “tactical” nuclear weapons that can be as small as 0.3 kilotons or up to 50 kilotons in explosive power.
Now 0.3 kilotons is” just” the equivalent of 300 tons of dynamite, which supposedly makes them “useable,” meaning not holocaust-causing (that is assuming that some country backing the targeted country doesn’t decide to respond in kind and we are soon on the escalation ladder moving quickly up to ever bigger bombs). Meanwhile, dialed up to its maximum 50-kiloton power each F35A bomb would be almost three times as powerful as the nuclear bombs that leveled Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The Popular Mechanics article, also published in Yahoo News, quotes Pentagon sources as saying the new F35A capability gives the US flexibility to deliver nukes to targets in a country threatening the US, and also to recall them up to the last second before dropping the weapon since the plane would be piloted. But this supposed advantage of a manned delivery system being recallable is a fantasy.
As Daniel Ellsberg has exposed in detail in his 2017 book The Doomsday Machine, written based on his decades of work with a top security clearance on behalf of the Secretary of Defense office investigating command-and-control procedures and practices of the nation’s nuclear forces, there is no way to guarantee that a pilot ordered on a nuclear strike mission will receive — or believe — any message or signal ordering a cancellation of the attack order.
As Ellsberg explains, communication systems routinely break down on an almost daily basis at one of the US military’s hundreds of global bases and aircraft carrier battle groups, cutting of the link between Washington and its bases far-flung military bases, because of equipment malfunctions, storms, solar flares, etc.. Furthermore, in a period of international crisis, a pilot may distrust even an order to call off an attack which, after all, won’t be a phone call from the president, a Pentagon general, or even a known base commander, but rather a short coded signal. As Ellsberg notes in his terrifying book, the other flaw is that a pilot, once ordered on such a mission, could decide in the heat of the moment, to just carry on with orders and drop his weapon regardless of receiving a cancellation order. Remember, in times of crisis, countries may be employing jamming systems to knock out enemy military communications, or could even be blinding communication satellites. So in the end, the with a fleet of nuclear bomb-carrying F-35As in the air, it will be 1000 individual pilots possibly flying out of communication with their commanding officers, deciding whether to start World War III, only one of whom has to decide to push the drop button.
And remember, the F-35 is a uniquely complex and demonstrably unreliable piece of flying software. It’s almost a certainty that any order to call off an already launched surprise attack would fail to reach some of the hundreds of pilots racing to deliver their two deadly nukes to targets, and that some would continue carrying out their initial attack orders.
Meanwhile the scenario presented in the article — a lone pilot being dispatched to deliver one or two dial-able B61-12 thermonuclear weapons onto some command-and-control center or missile launching site, perhaps — is not really what the Pentagon strategists have in mind for its F-35A planes…

Mushroom producer Sempera Organics has reportedly joined MISTA, the invite-based food innovation platform.
MISTA aids its members to innovate by offering access to experts from every field in the food system along with development labs and commercial kitchens to ease new food advances.
From flour to tea to meat substitutes, mushrooms have a lot of applications in food that have increasingly grown popular. Sempera Organics seeks to explore and refine the next application for mushrooms with its MISTA members.
Sempera Organics CEO Nirmal Nair stated that there is a growing demand for functional mushrooms as more people understand their health advantages. Nair added that the company is delighted by the opportunity offered by MISTA to create new methods of using mushrooms in food.
Founder and Head, Scott May, has welcomed Sempera as a member of the MISTA ecosystem as it sees the importance of fungi in creating a regenerative, decentralized food system that provides nourishment to people as well as the planet.
May added that mycelium and mushroom solutions will be crucial in delivering consumers with nutrition, taste, cost, and clean label.
With an increasing demand for functional mushrooms, Sempera Organics serves as the top supplier catering to the need of using these mushrooms as nutraceuticals and food products.
Cultivating mushrooms like cordyceps, lion's mane, chaga, reishi, shitake, turkey tail, almond mushroom, maitake, king oyster, and agarikon in its advanced lab.
The proprietary growing methods of Sempera Organics optimize the growth of these varietals, produce the most nutritional mushrooms, and expedite the production time.
Moreover, Sempera gets these ingredients to companies on a reduced supply chain, ensuring reliable and faster delivery in comparison to other ingredient providers.
For the record, MISTA unites its members in an ecosystem that develops skills, allowing them to provide exponential business value and create food system measures with high regenerative and commercial value.

Metro Jacksonville's Kristen Pickrell provides us with a review of Dorthy Fletcher's recently published book, "Lost Restaurants of Jacksonville."
Food is highly engrained in our culture, and often acts as a catalyst for some of our fondest memories. More often than not, people can think back to their childhood and remember their favorite place to eat and what their “usual” was, or where they went with their whole family every single Sunday after church.
Dorothy K. Fletcher works to keep these memories alive in her latest historical nonfiction book, Lost Restaurants of Jacksonville. Fletcher’s book is a brief historical journey through twenty-plus of Jacksonville’s oldest restaurants. Fletcher’s book is broken down into three major sections, “City Core Restaurants,” “Over the River,” and “Everywhere Else,” to ensure most of the major districts of Jacksonville were not overlooked. Shying away from commercialize restaurants, Fletcher’s book is a comprehensive overview of favorite “Ma and Pop” places. Fletcher compiles old phone books, newspaper articles, and memories of fellow citizens and kin of the original business owners to paint a picture of what the old food industry in Jacksonville looked and tasted like.
Fletcher’s book works to highlight the locations, operations, and famous menu items of some of Jacksonville’s finest, and works to explain what happened to the restaurants and the implications our growing populations have on the food industry. While Fletcher’s book appears to exclude certain styles of restaurants like sub shops or pizza places, these issues are well addressed in the conclusion. Fletcher’s book is well researched, thoughtful, and a necessary staple in the diets of historical nonfiction readers and foodies alike.
Lost Restaurants of Jacksonville goes for $19.99 at most book stores and would make a great gift this holiday season.

As part of the man’s earlier release from custody on previous charges, he was ordered to wear a GPS monitoring device. The man was found to be violating his strict terms of release by being at an unapproved address in Hanover. Hanover Police attended and arrested the man without incident. He was charged under the Criminal Code with Failure to Comply. He was held in custody pending a bail hearing in Walkerton.


As of this drone, the camera and the functions, the weight of 28 gram, battery lifetime of much greater margin, affordable price has made this drone very much fond of to the technology lovers. The controller that comes with is drawn is kind of a controller of PS3. The controller has got two joysticks and an LCD screen that displays the important flight diagnostics. In addition to that, this drone is very much fast. The drone has got an anti-flip mode which is a very good addition to the drone. This mode can only be activated when the buyer set it in the expert mode. Another great thing about this little drone is that it offers the user an ability to modify the drone with additional equipment. For our justification, we have to set one thing straight from the start, the purchaser’s X4 drone will fly amazingly the way it comes out of the standard package, but if you buy the right accessories, you will allow your toy to be protected from crashes or hitting obstacles, and it will have longer flight time. Moreover, all the X4 purchasers mostly recommended a few accessories as of extra battery and some toolkit to buy after purchasing this mini wonder. The proper maintenance of the drone should be maintained right after purchasing it from any e-commerce site. If the maintenance and the safety of this drone is made good then the performance of the drone will surprise the purchaser. These drone is not only affordable but also offers many options in application sectors so it is good to buy a drone like this where someone’s to practice the photography or film making practices on their own.
The Holy Stone F181C is our second best drone under $100. The Remote Uses a modified controller that resembles a pad of the playback station with an additional LCD screen connected to the front end to provide direct images of the buzz. It has a small fragile button and Joystick, never force the accelerator/controller too much, it can break easily. Battery 750mAh, 7-9 minutes. You must drain the battery before recharging it to increase the life of the battery. Camera Comes with a fully equipped 2MP camera that can record videos and take 720P resolution images and save to the 2GB SD that comes with the alternate drone or bottle disc attached to the USB drone drive.
This drone is an amazing little drone that has awesome slide performance as we are comparing the price range among the other components of it. This drone can be flown indoor and outdoor and it can be flown in moderate wings but when landing it has to be assured that the atmospheric pressure or the weather is likely very good as sometimes because of the weather problem this drone can crash and which is not a good sign of controlling a drone by the purchaser. They are good for indoor flying when you are first starting out, but the user can eventually remove them once they have gained some more experience. The camera is nothing to get much happy about. However, it has 720p resolution, and records directly to the SD card. To take a picture, the purchaser have to press a button. Moreover, to start and stop the video, a user will have to long press the same button. Different models have different buttons on the controller that do this, so check your instruction manual. As of the talking of the controller, the controller takes typical 4 x AA batteries and operates on the typical 2.4 GHz frequency. The lights will start randomly flashing and will settle to a steady flash pattern. When this happens, user will have to move the throttle up, and then down. This small quadcopter makes a purchaser good training of this flying machine a drone. The prop guards add some weight to this drone but for indoor playing when a user is trying it in a congested place, this drone works amazingly. So this drone is a good example for flying Indoor as well as outdoor. This quadcopter is very durable and capable of withstanding repeated crashes. User may find that their pet to chase after this drone. The lights will stop blinking, and stay on indicating that the quadcopter and controller are connected. This drone flies very smoothly and is very responsive to commands from the controller. Once you have it trimmed, it is very easy to keep quadcopter stable. This drone has great maneuverability and has no problem making decent bank turns. This quadcopter is a lot of fun for beginners, and for intermediate flyers. Advanced pilots will love this also, since they can fly this drone hard, knowing that it won’t break and this reason ensures good attachment of the users to buy it without spending much time to worry about when it comes to the question of buying the best drones with camera under $100.
The DJI Inspire 2 is aimed at professional cinematographers, news organizations, and independent filmmakers. And it's priced as such—its $3,000 MSRP doesn't include a camera. You have the option of adding a 1-inch sensor fixed-lens camera, a Micro Four Thirds interchangeable lens model, or a Super35mm cinema mount with its own proprietary lens system and support for 6K video capture.
The Cheerwing Syma X5SW, also known by the name of Cheerwing Syma X5SWFPV Explorers 2 2.4 GHz 4CH 6-Axis Gyro RC Headless Quadcopter UFO with HD Wifi Camera is a mid-range drone, good for both indoor and outdoor flying. This compatibility of flying this drone both in indoor and outdoor has a great influence for a purchaser to go with this flying machine. This drone is equipped with four brushless engines, which sport out the coreless technology. Moreover, this nifty addition prevents the drone’s rotors from overheating during an extended light. As for its design, the Cheerwing Syma X5SWFPV Explorers 2, looks both intimidating and functional. However, upon closer view, the drone’s body suspiciously resembles DJI Phantom’s design minus the fan guards. The battery capability can be said like as -the whole thing is powered by a 3.7V 500 mAh Lithium-Polymer battery, which can keep the drone up in the air 5 to 7 minutes. Now talking about the other specifications-however, with the fan guards attached, the battery’s life decreases to 6 minutes, and with the camera switched on all time, the user will only get 4 minutes of flying. The controller with this drone has shown immense declaration of becoming a good drone for the first time flyers and promises to be in the upfront region in competition with the same category drones in the market. As for the bottom part of the controller, it contains a small LCD which can show some useful information like thrust, inclination, and cruise speed. Landing and take-off are smooth, and so are the in-flight controls. There’s virtually no lag between the drones’s remote and the quadcopter, or any sudden loss of signal. Now, telling about the camera and capturing capability of this drone. Tbis drone is highly affordable. However, the drone’s camera is not equipped with any SD card slots. So that means that every time the user wants to record something, they will have to do it through Syma’s mobile application. So, this is a kind of bad aspect of this drone that we are discussing about. However, the drone does have its share of issues, starting with the shaky, poor video/photo issues and ending with the wind bug. But as we consider all the things that is in offer with this drone, we can say that overall, the drone’s performance is satisfactory, and it is liked the fact that there is virtually no lag in controls. The ease of controlling this flying machine outperforms its downsides in a large margin. Lastly, a purchaser can go with this drone without much to think or worry about.
Truth be told, you can get a cheaper drone that your kid will probably go bonkers over just the same, but they’ll actually be able to fly this one. There are a boatload of mini drones out there right now that you can get for under $50 — but in our experience, the vast majority of them are too squirrelly and difficult to master for your average kid.
For those looking for a basic done that has FPV camera capabilities that are still pretty decent, but at a fair price, the Hubsan H502S is definitely the way to go. There are minimal features, mostly just the GPS function, which is a nice touch that makes all the difference, and you get up to 12 minutes of flying time on a single charge. You also get Return to Home, Follow Me, one-key control, the whole set.
the first thing we do when we get a new drone is beat it up a little bit. We don’t kick it down the stairs or anything, but we’ll give it a few knocks, twists, and shallow drops to assess the build quality and durability. Does it feel flimsy, or does it feel like it could survive a crash landing in the park? We give each review unit a light beating (and usually a couple unintentional crash landings) before we give you a definitive answer on how durable it is.
If a drone in this category has first-person-view (FPV) capability, you can see what the drone sees. All except one of these drones require a smartphone (not included) to be able to view and record the video. The smartphone is held in a bracket and then it is connected to the controller. Some of these drones can be flown by only using the smartphone with a downloadable app installed that controls the drone.
It also can’t handle itself outdoors, with the slightest breeze gusting it away (not only that, but because of how small it is, it’s easy to lose line of sight). Charging takes somewhere around 20 minutes with the usb charger, however you’ll need your own usb to wall adapter or a computer handy to plug it in. Unfortunately, unlike some other quacopters on this list, due to the size and engineering of this drone, repairs are extremely difficult, requiring a very tiny screwdriver to open it up, the solder pads for the motors are also tiny. Repairs aren’t impossible, but it is more difficult.
Flight is smooth on this drone, with an impressive climb and turning rates that meet the demands of even expert fliers. You can count on the stability of the X400W when in windy conditions – the six-axis gyros do a good job maintaining hovering with lateral winds. You can access the FPV stream on your smartphone via a WiFi connection. With the dedicated app, you can activate the camera and record sharp videos and images. It is important to note that the HD 720p camera is primarily for delivering an FPV live stream, rather than shooting pictures and videos. You can also connect this drone with a 3D VR headset if you want to enjoy a 100% immersive FPV flying experience.
If you're flying within the United States, you need to take heed of FAA guidelines—or be prepared to face potential fines or jail time. There are no-fly zones set by the FAA, so don't take off if you're near an airport without notifying the control tower first. And, even if you're out in the middle of nowhere, don't take your drone above 400 feet. Most are set to obey these regulations out of the box, but controlling a quadcopter is just like driving a car—even if you missed seeing that speed limit sign, you're still liable to pay the ticket.
The quadcopter is only about 3.5’’ measured diagonally motor to motor making it one of the smallest drones on the market. Even in that small chassis, Cheerson managed to fit a 100mah battery. While that may not sound impressive, it delivers solid flight time, keeping you in the air for somewhere between 4 and 8 minutes depending on how hard you fly it.
The controller has an LCD screen that displays important information such as battery life, range, and trim adjustments. The acceleration power is also displayed in percentage form. The controller also has a return to home button. Press this and the drone flies back to you. This is not a feature commonly found on a drone at this price point. The 2MP camera on the F181 is of 720p resolution and can take images at a 1280 x 720 resolution.

Last updated: oct 20, 2021
okay so this is only the first episode so i may be raving a little soon but i must say that i am extremly impressed with what i saw theres action suspense thrills so much going on here lots of excitement its quite graphic ill admit but if your willing to try to ignore it its well worth it
Don't believe the haters... admittedly there are some cliches that grind like the reason he is a good profiler is cos of his father, but despite this, I still find this show very compelling and watchable, particularly with the upcoming demise of Criminal Minds and apparently MindHunter. And I think there are some more interesting twists soon to be revealed.
Extremely predictable, unbelievable characters, clichéd as all hell. The premise itself had potential, but it's not being used well at all here.
Two well cast actors and two terrible ones. In my opinion the male leads are the best actors on this show. The females, unfortunately, are terrible for the most part. The show has some interesting themes and despite some obvious flaws. It keeps me interested. What I find frustrating is stupid things being written in for ease of plot. For example a “profiler” who doesn’t believe that murderers are created, what year is this set in? Overall good dumb fun!
This show is not written, acted and casted well. I have watched 5 episodes and I think that is enough for me.
I’m diggin’ the concept of the show... I’ll keep watching before saying anything more.
Now, this...this is what I call proper entertainment. I was drawn in with the premiere itself, which is a praiseworthy feat. And given how with the other new/newish shows that (I) started around the same time and was already watching, and how, even once I was further along into them, I still wasn't into it, you can imagine how refreshing this show was and how refreshing for me, it was to be watching, and how much more that came to light once I was further along into it, too. Furthermore, while there were episodes that I neither liked or disliked, even they seemed more entertaining and appealing than those other shows as a whole, in hindsight. I guess it was just a testament to preference. That, somehow, my subconscious was more captivated by this show or something about it, for some reason. Stuff like that is so weird, isn't it? Frankly, I don't get it. Anyway, I think this is an underrated show that has probably passed under the radar for a lot of people, a hidden gem. My current state of memory may be biased or unreliable because the only shows that I've watched, those of which are in recent memory, specifically, are all fairly new shows so I'm not exactly that well-versed when it comes to the number of shows that I've watched and whatnot, but this one just seemed and seems like it'll be underappreciated despite being a surprisingly decent show, all because it's a police procedural, most of all. And I get that. It's understandable. But all I can say is that you shouldn't prematurely judge or have expectations that it'll be like any other police procedural, at least, if it leads to choosing to not watch it. At the very least, give it a shot and go from there. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't.
Another show I could binge watch all episodes at once. Hope it gets a season 2.
Like the show very much because the show sometimes is so dumb that at least it has a real life feeling.
This is so cheesy and obvious. Is this written for people with IQ < 50? Seriously... Every episode is the same - he goes somewhere, gets in a fight, people just commit they did it without a reason and case solved. This is an offence to every decent human being. I'm done...
Like I mentioned before, during these times, you have to be able to relax and is there a better way than sitting back and binging on a really good series? I don’t think so! We’ve already covered some series that are available on Netflix, but what about other services? Well, now we’re going to see what Hulu has to offer.
Mixing reality shows and food seems like the perfect combination for just about anyone. I always get amazed what some people are able to make under a huge amount of pressure. The cooking shows are so entertaining as well, because it’s always regular people competing. Just make sure not to watch them on an empty stomach!
I am Sophie and this is my website.
A little about me 👋 I am a marketing student in Paris. I love spending afternoons with friends in a cafe or a park.
But more than anything else, I love watching (.. binging…) series on my computer on rainy Sundays or any sunny day for that matter 🙈
I must have watched hundreds of shows by now, from romance to science-fiction series. Often I like to go back to a show I enjoyed. But I don’t feel like watching it all over again…
I created this website so myself and others could find the best episodes of our favourite shows. As of today, I have about 1,000 shows on the website with votes and rating coming from fans.
Hopefully, you can join me from your sofa and enjoy some nice TV!

COMO Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos
“Just a quick nonstop flight from New York, yet it feels thousands of miles away. The first time I came here, Keith Richards was holding court in the tiny bar. The next morning, Christie Brinkley waved hello as she jogged past my chaise longue. The 13-year-old me would have freaked out.” —Peter Jon Lindberg
"Yes, it has three pools, a private waterfall, and nine types of massage, but the real treat of staying here is the food. Many places make good, even excellent, low-cal all-organic macrobiotic fare, but no one does it with as much style and subtlety of flavor as this retreat." —Hanya Yanagihara

Hotel Post Bezau and Susanne Kaufmann Spa, Bregenzerwald, Austria
During facials and massages at the spa, practitioners use fragrant herbal serums and scrubs made with ingredients that have grown wild in the mountains and valleys here for centuries—the property has been in the same family for five generations.
Kalari Kovilakom Kerala, India
"Days here might consist of massages, hot oil treatments, gentle yoga, and eating restorative vegan meals. It helps that the health center feels like a five-star resort with exposed wood beams, mosaic tile floors, and comfy four-poster beds. Expect to shed a few excess pounds and maybe gain a refreshed mental clarity." —David Prior
"The monastic-chic vibe of cabins with plunge pools built into a jungle-y hillside gives this Thai stalwart the feel of a Buddhist sanctuary, not a boot camp." —David Prior
Six Senses Zil Pasyon, Seychelles
"While adults zen out in the spa’s rock pool and hammocks that swing over the sea, kids can play pirate in a two-story tree house and go on treasure hunts. And when you’re ready to bond, your butler can make a family swim with sea turtles happen, too." —Jen Murphy
