1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to computer system end user interfaces and more particularly to a graphical end user interface that includes intelligent agents or assistants.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In certain currently existing computer systems with graphical user interfaces, an environment is created that is an electronic metaphor for a workplace or desktop. Objects found in the electronic workplace are presented for users to manipulate in ways that are similar to the way that they are manipulated in the real workplace. Objects, such as file cabinets, folders, documents, and printers, are displayed on the display screen as icons. Users manipulate these icons with the mouse to perform desired operations. For example, to file a document in a folder that is located in a file cabinet in the real workplace, the user opens the file cabinet, locates and opens the correct folder, and puts the document inside it. In the electronic workplace, the user performs a similar process. The user opens the file cabinet, locates the correct folder, and drops the document icon on the folder icon. Users have been able to use their knowledge of a real workplace to perform this operation.
While the workplace or desktop metaphor provides certain advantages to the user in terms of intuitiveness and ease of use, many have suggested that the next step in personal computing will move beyond the desktop metaphor and its arrangement of passive objects toward a theater metaphor of active agents. In the theater metaphor, work is delegated to animated intelligent objects that operate like secretaries or assistants.
Commercialization of these ideas has just begun. For example, Hewlett Packard Company has introduced "agents" in its New Wave product. However, these agents are not truly intelligent. Each agent is merely a macro-capturing facility, which records and plays back a sequence of commands as performed by the user. This ability to replay what is called a "script" is the lowest form of artificial intelligence. It includes no ability for deductive inference or inductive discovery. In the New Wave product, the user records an action sequence by simply performing the action, but any subsequent variablization of the macro must be programmed by the user, if the user knows the macro language. The agent of the New Wave product is still passive; the script is activated only when the user gives it another object to work on, such as a spreadsheet to be formatted and printed. The next logical step in artificial intelligence is to add a rule-based inferencing system. There has been some activity to build such intelligent office systems and interfaces and it appears that such work has been and will soon be commercialized as an electronic mail function.
There is no question that rule-based agents are required for intelligent office systems. By definition, rules are required for corporate policies and regulations. The enterprise needs to define that certain objects cannot be printed, for example. Rules are also the only way for the user to give instructions before going on vacation; there is no behavior to learn-by-example because the user is not around. Simple rules can also be appropriate and well-formed by the user to handle many trivial jobs, such as automatic sorting of mail under appropriate key words.
On the other hand, the difficulties of rule expression, rule-based consistency, and a host of well known knowledge engineering problems suggest the need for case-based reasoning and an adaptive system that can automatically learn by example. The user's own behavior provides the defacto validity and completeness and does not require the end user's explicit activities in knowledge engineering. Automated knowledge acquisition is needed for all expert systems, but the many problems of knowledge acquisition are exacerbated if the general office worker is asked also to become a knowledge engineer.
In co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/720,278, filed Jun. 24, 1991, entitled CONVOLUTIONAL EXPERT NEURAL SYSTEM, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,357,597, assigned to the assignee of the present application, the disclosure of which application is incorporated herein, there is disclosed an adaptive neural system that exhibits continuous and instant learning, and a perfect memory. The system of application Ser. No. 07/720,278, has the ability to observe inputs and outputs, or conditions and results, and derive the rules that determine the outcome or result of various sets or combinations of inputs or conditions. Thus, the system of application Ser. No. 07/720,278, promises to be an effective engine for intelligent assistants or agents.
The suggestion that agents or assistants will appear as "little people" on the screen has already been made; however, little has been actually done to establish the display and metaphor of its explicit interface architecture. The graphical portrayals in other systems agents are still primitive. For example, the New Wave product uses the simple bust of a "secret agent", without any animation or multiple operations. Moreover, no system has adequately dealt with the problem of presenting different forms of intelligence within a graphical metaphor for the user. Various forms of intelligence are possible and should be used together, but this raises problems about how such different forms can be represented.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a method of and system for displaying a set of assistants and their respective objects of responsibility together with their respective function and control and a method and system for displaying and invoking inferenced suggestions. All assistants are collected and managed within a "Bullpen." The workplace or desktop contains an "Assistants" object or icon, which can be opened to show the set of assistants. Each assistant is associated with an object. Each assistant icon includes a graphical human figure and a graphical representation of a desk that has thereon an iconic representation of the object that the assistant serves. For example, in the preferred embodiment, one assistant handles documents, as shown by a document object icon placed on the assistant's desk. The metaphor used is that each assistant is a software robot, each with its own desk, and with its responsibility demonstrated by the object on its desk. Global properties are also included in the bullpen. Global properties are those that are not given to only one object but are displayed to the separate objects in the bullpen. For example, in the preferred embodiment, a list of facts, such as the user's name, position code, vacation time, and the like, is displayed in a bulletin board object. Each assistant keeps its own set of rules, but all the assistants use the same set of global facts which the user can maintain in one place.
In the present invention, the assistant's "learning" is located within its head. The adaptive form of intelligence is provided by neural network methods, and as such is located within the assistant's "brain." Clicking on the head of the assistant's graphical human figure opens it to the neural representation of what the assistant has learned about objects of the particular class. The user can view the relevant variables for the assistant's actions and exercise "what-ifs."
User developed rules for each object are located in the assistant's desk. Clicking on the desk opens it to a window that contains its contents. Rules are not learned, but are specifically stated to each assistant. To maintain separation of this knowledge from that which is learned, such rules are characterized as "instructions" to the assistant from the system user and are kept as a document or list object within the assistant's desk. Enterprise regulations are also located in the desk. Regulations, like user instructions, are not learned but are by definition simply stated as rules. This affords an object-oriented place for a corporate enterprise to establish rules and an easy to use metaphor for the user to find and reference them. Performance reports and management controls may also be located in the desk. This is a metaphor for an employee's performance record as a document kept in a real desk. The record of performance for both the neural network and the user-defined rules, such as frequency of use and inferencial decisions versus actual outcome, can be accessed within this object. Threshold setting, performance trade-offs, and the like can be managed from this information.
Object-relevant vocabulary may also be kept within the desk. As voice recognition is incorporated into the manipulation of object-oriented interfaces, a proper metaphor for its use should be included. The idea is that the user will broadcast a command such as "Call John Adams" and the appropriate assistant (in this case the phone assistant) will then take the commanded action rather than the user saying something like "Telephone, call John Adams." In natural interaction, people do not speak to inanimate objects. Vocabularies are defined within the scope of a particular object. The definition of that vocabulary, which are those commands that the assistant can understand and respond to, can be made here.
In the present invention, each assistant can make recommendations or suggestions that can be requested from the action bar of the serviced object window. For example, within the context of a particular mail document, the assistant can be called, whereupon it will leave its desk in the bullpen and then appear floating next to the opened document holding a list of actions. The assistant is not a normal object within a presentation window. Rather, it is separate as a special type of object that can traverse the system or screen. In the preferred embodiment, each assistant can learn whether or not to display its suggestions automatically. When the user asks for suggestions from the action bar, the user is committing an action, like any other, that the assistant can learn to predict. If the assistant learns the conditions under which the user will request its suggestions, the assistant can automatically present itself when a proper instance of the object is opened. Clicking on the assistant's feet will cancel its presence. The assistant's feet are, in effect, its "cancel" button. Clicking on its feet will cause the suggestion list to disappear and the assistant to return to its desk. Clicking on any item of the list of suggestions will cause that one suggestion to be selected and highlighted. In the preferred embodiment, the assistant icon has displayed adjacent to its head a quotation bubble with the word "Okay?" in it. Clicking on the quote bubble will invoke all selected actions in the list of suggestions and the assistant will return to its desk. Clicking on the assistant's head will display its current reasoning.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Referring now to the drawings, and first to FIG. 1, a computer system display screen is designated generally by the numeral 11. Display screen 11 has displayed therein a window 13. Window 13 includes a title bar 15, an action bar 17, a client area 19, and scroll bars 21 and 23, all of which are enclosed in a window border 25.
Title bar 15 includes, in addition to a label that identifies window 13 as the "Workplace" window, a system menu icon 27 and sizing icons 29 and 31. System menu icon enables a user to display a pull-down menu of actions that can be performed on the window itself rather than the object or objects displayed in the window. For example, the user can use system menu icon 27 to move or close window 13. Sizing icons 29 and 31 provide a convenient way for the user to minimize or maximize, respectively, window 13.
Action bar 17 includes a list of actions that can be performed on the object or objects in window 13. The user can move a pointer 33 with a mouse (not shown) to select various objects in window 13 and then invoke various actions from pull-down menus that can be displayed beneath the items of action bar 17. Client area 19 of window 13 is populated with a plurality of objects represented by icons. In the workplace environment, the objects are electronic metaphors for objects that a user would find in a real workplace. For example, the workplace environment includes a calendar icon 35, which represents an electronic calendar object or application. The user can open calendar icon 35 and use it in ways similar to the way people use real calendars. Similarly, the workplace environment includes a printer icon 37. The user can, by direct manipulation, use the mouse and pointer 33 to move a graphical representation of a document to printer icon 37 and thereby cause the document to be printed.
Workplace window 13 includes, in addition to normal office equipment objects, such as calendar 35 or printer 37, an assistants object represented by assistants icon 39. As will be explained in detail hereinafter, the system of the present invention includes a plurality of intelligent assistants that are assigned to various objects in the electronic workplace. The assistants have the capacity to learn rules regarding how various objects are to be handled, either by observation of how the user handles the objects or by receiving instructions or regulations from the user or the enterprise for which the user works. Preferably, the assistants include neural networks of the type disclosed in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/720,278, filed Jun. 24, 1991, entitled CONVOLUTIONAL EXPERT NEURAL SYSTEM, assigned to the assignee of the present application, the disclosure of which application is incorporated herein.
Referring now to FIG. 2, there is shown in addition to workplace window 13, an Assistants Bullpen window 41. Assistants Bullpen window 41 is similar to window 13 in that it includes a title bar, an action bar, and scroll bars. However, the client area 43 is populated with a plurality of assistants icons, including, for example, a document assistant icon, which is designated generally by the numeral 45. Document assistant icon 45 includes a graphical representation of a human FIG. 47 and a mini-desk 49 which has displayed thereon an iconic representation of a document, which identifies icon 45 as a document assistant. In similar fashion, each of the other assistant icons in Assistants Bullpen window 41 include a graphical representation of a human figure in a mini-desk with an iconic representation of the object that the assistant supports. Additionally, Assistants Bullpen window 41 includes a bulletins object that is represented by a Bulletins icon 51. Bulletins icon 51 can be opened to display a window into which the user can input facts that the assistants may need in order to perform their functions. For example, if the user is going to be out of the office on vacation, the user can identify his or her backup and tell all assistants what dates the user will be out of the office. As those skilled in the art recognize, windows can be opened by double clicking on an icon, or selecting an icon and then selecting the open action from the pull-down menu associated with the "File" item of action bar 17.
Referring now to FIG. 3, human FIG. 47 of document assistant icon 45 is shown enlarged. The figures of the assistant icons can be enlarged by clicking pointer 33 on the feet 53 of the figures. The human figures may be enlarged to provide more functionality to the interface. For example, a user might obtain help by clicking on the figure's shoulder and dismiss the help by clicking on the figure's mouth. Whenever the assistant icon is in the Assistants Bullpen window 41, clicking on the figures feet will toggle the figure between its large size and its small size. The metaphor is that of the assistant coming to attention and going back to his desk.
Referring now to FIG. 4, there is shown, in addition to workplace window 13 and Assistants Bullpen window 41, an Assistant Desk window 55. Assistant Desk window 55 is preferably opened by double clicking pointer 33 on mini-desk 49 of document assistant 45. Assistant Desk window 55 includes various objects, including instructions 57, regulations 59, performance 61, and vocabulary 63. Instructions icon 57 represents user defined rules provided to the assistant. Instructions are not learned through observation, but are simply given to the assistant. For example, the user may instruct the assistant always to print correspondence from the user's immediate supervisor.
Regulations icon 59 represents enterprise regulations. For example, it may be an enterprise regulation that documents carrying a certain security classification cannot be printed on printers located in uncontrolled spaces. Such regulations are made available to the assistant, perhaps as a constraint against any other inference.
Performance icon 61 represents an object that contains a record of the performance for both the neural network and the user-defined rules, such as frequency of use and inferential decisions versus actual outcome. The performance data provides a means by which the performance of the system may be evaluated and enhanced. Vocabulary icon 63 represents object-relevant terms to which the assistant responds. As voice recognition is incorporated into the manipulation of object-oriented interfaces, each assistant will have a set of vocabulary that it can understand and respond to.
Referring now to FIG. 5, the user has opened an Inbasket window 65. In-basket window 65 was preferably opened by double-clicking on Inbasket icon 67 of Workplace window 13. In-basket window 65 contains incoming electronic mail documents that the user has received. In FIG. 5, the user has selected to view document 69 in In Basket window 65 and has opened a Document window 71.
Document window 71 includes an action bar 73 that includes an "Assistant" action item 75. In the present invention, whenever an object has an assistant assigned to it the system inserts an Assistant item in the action bar for that object's window. In FIG. 5, the user has selected Assistant item 75 and the system has displayed an assistant pull-down menu 77. Assistant pull-down menu 77 includes a Suggestions item 79, as well as the items that are contained in the assistant's desk. Documents assistant 45 has "reviewed" the document of window 71 and it has, either by having observed the user's past actions or by reference to instructions or regulations, formulated a set of actions that the user is likely to perform on the document. The assistant may automatically cause the system to perform certain actions "on its own" without input from the user; however, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the assistant normally does not cause the system to perform those actions without the concurrence of the user. Thus, those actions are presented to the user as suggestions. If the user wishes to look at the suggested actions, the user may select suggestions item 79 with pointer 33 and thereby cause the system to display a Suggestions dialog box 81, as shown in FIG. 6.
Referring to FIG. 6, Suggestions dialog box 81 is shown as if human FIG. 47 is holding it. In FIG. 6, human FIG. 47 has left its position next to mini desk 49 in window 41. FIG. 47 has displayed next to its head a speech bubble 83 that has the word "Okay?" in it. Speech bubble 83 functions in the same way as the "Okay?" pushbutton in a normal dialog box. However, speech bubble 83 provides a more anthropomorphic feel to the interface.
Suggestions dialog box 81 contains a list of suggested actions, including "callSender" and "printLocal." Thus, the document assistant has suggested that the user call the sender of the document and print the document locally. Again, the assistant waits for the user's concurrence before performing the action. However, in the preferred embodiment, the assistant may take certain actions to facilitate performance of the action. For example, since one of the suggestions is callSender, the assistant may look up "Frank's" (the sender) telephone number and perform other prerequisite activities to enhance system performance. The user can cause the system to perform the suggested actions by selecting the various suggestions with pointer 33. If the user desires to have the system perform the selected suggested actions, the user can do so by clicking on speech bubble 83. If the user does not want to have the system perform any of the suggested actions, the user may cancel the suggestions by clicking on the feet 85 of human FIG. 47. Thus, feet 85 are equivalent to the "cancel" pushbutton of a normal dialog box. Suggestions dialog box 81 will remain on screen 11 until the user either cancels it by clicking on feet 85 or performs the selected suggested actions by clicking on speech button 83. When suggestions dialog box 81 is dismissed, human figure 47 returns to its position next to mini-desk 49 of assistants bullpen window 41.
If the user desires to understand how the assistant came to the suggestions of dialog box 81, the user may click on the head 87 of FIG. 47, which will cause the system to display a neural network window 89, as shown in FIG. 7. Referring to FIG. 7, neural network 89 shows two neurons, which indicate how the assistant arrived at its suggestions to call the sender and print the document locally.
Referring now to FIG. 8, there is shown a block diagram of a system according to the present invention. The system includes a processor 91, which includes a central processing unit (CPU) 93 and random access memory 95. The system may also include additional memory in the form of a hard disk storage device 97, a floppy disk device 99, or, preferably, both. Floppy disk device 99 is adapted to receive a diskette 101 that may have recorded thereon the software implementation of the present invention. The system of FIG. 8 includes user interface hardware, including a display 103, a mouse 105, and preferably a keyboard 107. The system may, optionally, include a printer 109.
Referring now to FIGS. 9-12, there is shown a flowchart of a preferred software implementation of the present invention. Referring first to FIG. 9, the system first begins the desktop or workplace as indicated generally at block 109. After the desktop is running, the system monitors user input at block 111. If the system receives a user input, the system tests, at decision block 113 whether or not the assistants object has been selected. If it has, the system opens the assistants bullpen window at block 115 and then proceeds to the portion of the flowchart indicated generally by the letter "A", which is shown in FIG. 10.
Referring to FIG. 10, the system tests at decision block 117 whether or not the bulletins object is selected. If it is, the system opens the bulletins window at block 119 and returns. If the bulletins object is not selected at decision block 117 then the system tests at decision block 121 whether or not an assistants feet are selected. If the feet are selected, then the system tests at decision block 123 whether or not the assistant is enlarged. If the assistant is enlarged, then the human figure representation of the assistant is reduced at decision block 125. If the assistant is not enlarged, then the system enlarges the assistant figure at block 127 and returns. Thus, in FIG. 10, the user can toggle between a reduced assistant and an enlarged assistant by selecting the assistant's feet. If at decision block 121, the feet are not selected, then the system tests at decision block 129 whether or not the assistant image's head is selected. If it is, the system opens a neural network window at block 131 and returns. If the head is not selected at decision block 129, then the system tests at decision block 133 whether or not the mini-desk is selected. If it is not, then the system as indicated at "D" returns to continue monitoring user input at block 111 of FIG. 9. If, at decision block 133, the mini-desk is selected, the system opens the assistant desk window at block 135 and proceeds to the portion of the flowchart indicated by the letter "B", which is shown in FIG. 11.
Referring to FIG. 11, the system tests at decision block 137 whether or not instructions are selected and if so, the system opens the instructions window at block 139 and returns. If instructions are not selected, the system tests at decision block 141 whether or not regulations are selected. If they are, then the system opens a regulations window at block 143 and returns. If regulations are not selected, the system tests at decision block 145 whether or not performance is selected. If it is, the system opens a performance window at block 147 and returns. If performance is not selected, then the system tests at decision block 149 whether or not vocabulary is selected. If it is, then the system opens the vocabulary window at block 151 and returns. Finally, if vocabulary is not selected, then the system returns as indicated at "D" to continue to monitor user input at block 111 at FIG. 9.
Referring again to FIG. 9, if the user input is not a selection of assistants, the system tests at decision block 153 whether or not an other object is selected. If it is, the system opens the window for the other object at block 155. Then, the system tests at decision block 157 whether or not the selected object is assisted. If it is not, the system returns to block 11 to continue monitoring user input. If the object is assisted, then, at block 159, the system includes an assistant item in the action bar for the object window. Then, the system tests at decision block 161 whether or not the user asks for suggestions in such cases. If the assistant has learned that the user does ask for suggestions in such cases, the system automatically opens the suggestions dialog box at block 163. If the user does not normally ask for suggestions in such cases, then the system tests at decision block 165 whether or not the assistant item is selected from the action bar. If it is not, the system returns to block 111 to continue monitoring user input. If the assistant item is selected, then the system displays the assistant pull-down menu at block 167 and waits for user input. If, at decision block 169, the user selects suggestions, then the system opens the suggestions dialog box at block 163. If the user does not select suggestions, then the system goes through the routine indicated generally by "B", which is shown in and described in connection with FIG. 11.
Referring still to FIG. 9, after the system has opened the suggestions dialog box at block 163, the system proceeds as indicated generally by the letter "C", which is shown in FIG. 12. Referring to FIG. 12, the system displays any suggestions in the suggestions dialog box at block 165. Then, the system tests at decision block 167 whether or not the assistant bullpen window is open. If it is, the assistant icon is erased from the bullpen window at block 169. After the assistant icon has been erased from the bullpen window, or if the bullpen window is not open, the system displays the assistant icon next to the dialog box at block 171 and displays the "Okay?" speech bubble next to the assistant icon at block 173 and monitors user input. If, at decision block 175, the user input is the selection of a suggestion, the selected suggestion is highlighted at block 177 and the system returns to continue monitoring user input. If, at decision block 179, the user selects the head of the assistant icon, the system opens the neural network window at block 181 and returns to continue monitoring user input. If, at decision block 183, the user selects the "Okay?" speech bubble, the system performs all selected suggestions at block 185. If the user input at decision block 183 is not selection of the "Okay?" speech bubble, then the system tests at decision block 187 whether or not the assistant's feet are selected. If they are not, the system returns to continue monitoring user input. If the feet are selected, at decision block 187 or if okay has been selected, as described above, the system closes the dialog box and erases the assistant icon and "Okay?" speech bubble at block 189. Then, the system tests at decision block 191 whether or not the assistant bullpen window is open. If it is, the system displays the assistant figure icon in the bullpen window at block 193 and returns to block 111 of FIG. 9 to continue monitoring user input. Finally, referring to FIG. 9, if the user input is something other than selection of the assistants icon or another object, the system processes such other user input at block 195 and continues to monitor user input at block 111.
From the foregoing, it may be seen that the present invention provides a useful end user interface for a system of intelligent assistants or agents. While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

French video game company Nacon held its annual online conference, NACON Connect 2023, on Thursday. The 27-minute livestream covered 16 games across various genres, including sports, racing and action-adventure.
The conference presented gameplay footage for various titles, giving players a glimpse of what to expect. Some games, like Ravenswatch and Gangs of Sherwood, were previously announced at the last NACON Connect, but their gameplays were shown for the first time at this year’s event.
NACON Connect 2023 revealed exciting updates on highly anticipated games such as Lord of the Rings: Gollum and RoboCop: Rogue City. In addition, the conference featured sports game announcements and unveiled the official release date for the First World War psychological horror game Ad Infinitum.
Nacon also announced the launch of four new games on March 9. They are Clash: Artifacts of Chaos and Transport Fever 2: Console Edition, the Nintendo Switch versions of Session: Skate Sim and Train Life: A Railway Simulator.
Exclusive gameplay and developer interviews can be found on the Steam pages of most games.
Developed by Passtech Games, Ravenswatch introduces its concept through a gameplay trailer accompanied by commentary that explains the fundamental aspects of the game’s world, cooperative play and combat mechanics.
Building on the popularity of its predecessor, Curse of the Dead Gods, Ravenswatch allows up to four players to take on the roles of famous heroes from various legends and tales. Players must work together to overcome the hordes of the Nightmare. The game will be available for Early Access on Steam from April 6, 2023, and it will be available on all platforms after its official release in 2024.
The trailer of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum revealed additional details about Daedalic’s Untold Story. The game follows Gollum’s extraordinary adventure as he searches for his beloved Precious.
Throughout the journey, players will explore various regions of Middle-earth and encounter iconic characters from J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels. Navigating the perilous journey will require exceptional agility and cleverness. Lord of the Rings: Gollum will be released sometime in 2023 on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Berlin-based game development studio, Hekate, revealed a new gameplay trailer for Ad Infinitum that immerses players in the psyche of a young man caught between two worlds — his family home in Berlin and the battlefields of the First World War, where he encounters bizarre creatures.
The developer team has passionately worked on this project for the last three years. The members originally conceived the game’s concept almost a decade ago during their studies.
It is apparent that the team has a great affinity for psychological horror games, as they have created a unique and haunting world, an original story and an atmosphere that delves into the tortured mind of the game’s protagonist. Ad Infinitum is set to release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in September.
War Hospital, developed by the Polish studio Brave Lamb, is a story-driven management and survival game. The game challenges players to make tough moral decisions as they operate a field hospital during the First World War.
The game’s new gameplay footage at NACON Connect featured the story of a wounded soldier. Players must manage hospital resources and staff while treating incoming patients. War Hospital is set to launch on PC and consoles on August 31, 2023.

Ronald L. Hancock was born in Louisville Kentucky. He began writing with his own illustrated comic books during elementary school. He loved to tell stories of ‘Bloody Bones’ to his neighborhood friends and ghost stories around Boy Scout campfires
As a young man he moved to the Appalachian foothills where stories are told in the form of bluegrass music, which became a lifelong passion. He taught banjo and guitar as well as reading and writing to special needs children for many years. Music plays a central role in his three-part series on Good vs. Evil. He is currently working on the third book in a Science Fiction series.
Several years ago, an alleged Bigfoot sighting just three miles from his home sparked another passion—Bigfoot stories. Years of listening to “eye witness” accounts resulted in the creation of Man Who Walks With Sasquatch. It’s the story of a young man living in the mountains of Kentucky who, due to unusual circumstances, becomes friends with a Sasquatch. They each become a major influence on the other’s life.

BERLIN — Germany’s security services recorded more than 1,400 cases of suspected far-right extremism among soldiers, police officers and intelligence agents in the three years ending in March, according to a government report released Tuesday.
The report, compiled by the domestic intelligence service, is a first attempt to document the extent of far-right infiltration of the security services. It comes as the number of cases of extremists found in police forces and the military has multiplied.
Dozens of police officers have been suspended for joining far-right chat groups and sharing neo-Nazi propaganda. In June, the defense minister disbanded a whole company of Germany’s special forces after explosives, a machine gun and SS memorabilia were found on the property of a sergeant major.
Horst Seehofer, the German interior minister who presented the new report flanked by intelligence and police chiefs, said Tuesday that there should be “no tolerance” for extremists and that every case was “shameful.”
But Mr. Seehofer insisted that there was no “structural problem,” and said the vast majority of people in the security services were loyal to the German Constitution.
“We are dealing with a small number of cases,” he said. “The overwhelming majority of the employees at our security agencies — over 99 percent — are firmly rooted in our Constitution.”
The 98-page report, which covers a period beginning in January 2017, took a less sanguine tone. It said the real number of extremists was almost certainly higher than that reported and warned that even a relatively small number of highly trained officers who are radicalized constituted “a significant danger for the state and for society.”
Identifying extremists remains a “high priority” for the security service, the report said.
For years, German politicians and security chiefs rejected any suggestion that the security services had been infiltrated by the far right, acknowledging only “individual cases.” The idea of networks was routinely dismissed, and the superiors of those identified as extremists were protected.
That has been changing.
Last month, the head of the military counterintelligence agency, Christof Gramm, was dismissed because the agency on his watch had repeatedly failed in its mission to monitor and detect extremism in the armed forces.
“We are getting away from ‘individual cases’ and are able to get an overview,” Thomas Haldenwang, the head of the domestic intelligence, said Tuesday. He said his agency would keep investigating “if we are facing networks of far-right extremists who are expanding their connections.”
Mr. Haldenwang, whose agency was founded after World War II and is known as the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, has warned that far-right extremism and terrorism constitute the biggest risk for Germany’s democracy today.
Over the past 15 months, Germany has witnessed three deadly terrorist attacks by far-right extremists. A regional politician was shot on his front porch, a synagogue was attacked and nine people of immigrant descent were shot.
Tuesday’s report compiled cases of extremism recorded by the state and federal police authorities, the intelligence services and, separately, by the armed forces.
Most cases by far — 1,069 — were reported by the military. In civilian law enforcement agencies, the report listed 377 cases.
The western state of Hesse, which was in the news after private data used in neo-Nazi death threats was traced back to a police computer, reported the biggest number of suspected extremists.
The report noted that the number of cases didn’t directly correspond to individuals, as a single individual can be involved in several cases and cases can involve several individuals. Some cases reported on Tuesday had already been dismissed after investigation or resolved, the report said.
The number of cases has continued to rise since data for the report was collected.
Last month, the western state of North-Rhine Westphalia suspended 29 police officers suspected of sharing images of Hitler and violent neo-Nazi propaganda in online chat groups. Last week, another group, this time intelligence agents responsible for monitoring far-right extremists, was found to have shared xenophobic and anti-Islamic videos.
In Berlin, the police commissioner announced that 25 officers had participated in chats in which they likened Muslims to primates.
Mr. Seehofer, the interior minister, has resisted repeated calls to order a nationwide study on the prevalence of racism in the country’s police forces.

Second baseman Darwin Barney is on paternity leave and to replace him on the roster the Cubs have called up one of their many top-ranked position player prospects, Arismendy Alcantara, from Triple-A.
Ranked as a consensus top-100 prospect coming into the season, Alcantara has hit .307 with 10 homers, 25 doubles, 11 triples, and 21 steals in 89 games at Triple-A as a 22-year-old. He’s primarily a second baseman and has also played some center field.
Jesse Rogers of ESPN Chicago reports that the Cubs have already informed Alcantara his debut will be a very brief one, with a return to Triple-A planned as soon as Barney returns, but he figures to be back in Chicago at some point in the second half. Perhaps to stay.

Jordan Energy Sector Choices and Challenges
Energy is the lifeline for the whole of the service and industry sector in any country. Any imbalance in the energy sector is reflected on other sectors and the standard of living in the country. Energy problems are one of the most complex challenges facing governments. Especially in countries that rely on external energy sources. This situation is increased complexity by the presence of immediate changes in international relations and in fuel prices. Jordan is among the countries that depend on foreign energy sources and is located in the most volatile regions of the world in middle of the Middle East. Jordan is suffering from a permanent energy crisis that needs solutions which are compatible with many factors that may affect energy choices and decisions and alternatives available to get out of this crisis. Therefore, this study will attempt to focus on the Jordanian situation and identify the challenges and available choices. A comparison will be made of the available alternatives through Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). The results show that the priority of the energy solutions is to expand the mining of uranium and shale as well as to expand the construction of renewable power plants, as well as maintenance and modernization of existing plants and the establishment of new refineries.

Getting express credit is not that easy. Indeed, there are laws strict enough to regulate the distribution of consumer credit in France. Even if it is possible to find an express credit, it can only be used in certain specific situations. All of these loans are in the fast credit category.
How does express credit work?
Fast or express loan requests can be broken down into 3 main situations:
- Already have revolving credit available
- Need less than $ 200 and / or reimburse within 90 days
- Be able to wait between 7 and 10 days to get the money
Why these typical situations? It’s very simple, it is linked to the consumer credit law and in particular to article L 311-3, which excludes from the scope of operation transactions less than $ 200 or less than 3 months if the costs are negligible. . For the waiting period of 7 days, it corresponds to a legal withdrawal period during which the financial company is not supposed to make payments of money.
Fast credit or express credit?
Either we already have a reserve of money in the form of revolving credit that we can use immediately. It is the fastest form of credit. Either you need less than 200 $ and it is possible to obtain a credit in 24 hours. Either you need more money and you have to be ready to wait at least 7 days , which is no longer quite an express loan.
Express credit through revolving credit
Objectively the fastest way to get money . Revolving credit is a form of immediate loan if it is already open. To benefit as quickly as possible, simply request a transfer directly to your bank account. You can generally use this form of fast credit by logging into the customer area of the website of the credit organization that manages it or by calling them. A transfer will generally take between 24H and 72H to arrive on the account . But some revolving credits are backed by credit cards. The money can therefore be collected from the distributor.
Many people take advantage of this type of express credit in the form of a store credit card . In fact, most department store payment cards are linked to revolving credit.
Express credit of less than 200 $
As we have seen, the law allows you to obtain an express credit of $ 200 or less without it being really considered as a loan. Offers have therefore been launched in this niche such as those of Viloan and FinderCash. We nevertheless urge the greatest caution in this area. Indeed, our survey on small credit had clearly highlighted the very significant costs that this form of express credit can generate. But the money can arrive in 24H to 72H.
Request an express credit
If the previous express credit solutions are not possible or suitable, there is no choice, you must request the opening of an express credit. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to get the credit money in less than 7-10 days . We detailed the reasons and the ways to speed things up as much as possible in our article “how to get money from a loan quickly”.
In summary, to get the money for a new express loan as quickly as possible:
- apply for credit online until you obtain a first agreement in principle (which our comparator allows)
- prepare all the necessary credit documents
- print the credit agreement (or wait for it to arrive by mail)
- sign the contract and return it with all supporting documents
- wait for final decision and transfer of money from express credit

DJ wins landmark privacy case
The DJ sued the People after it published the pictures of her and her husband Jon Carter while holidaying in the Seychelles in 2001.
The case, settled in the High Court yesterday, came despite the People providing an official apology at the time following a complaint to the Press Complaints Commission.
The newspaper was sued under article 8 of the Human Rights Act, which works to protect an individual's right to a private life.
A spokesman for MGN Ltd, which publishes the People, said: "The People has now resolved the litigation with Sara Cox and Jon Carter.
"A week after the pictures were published the People apologised and recognised that the pictures had upset them.
"We are happy that the case has now been resolved."
The newspaper, under then editor Neil Wallis, published naked photos of the DJ couple in October 2001 while they honeymooned on a private island in the Seychelles.
The case first went to the PCC and an apology was printed in the next week's issue of the People.
Some observers today said the case could have repercussions for the role of the PCC as Cox is understood to be the first person to have won an apology through the body and then gone on to sue.
However it is believed that although the PCC helped in the wording of the apology the issue was never adjudicated on.
The Guardian today said Cox could expect to receive about £50,000 in damages.
It said the case was brought against the People and photographic agent Jason Fraser, and they, along with two photo agencies Mr Fraser is associated with, now face legal costs of more than £200,000.
Cox told the newspaper: "They have ruined all memories of my honeymoon for the rest of my life."

What is Hair Transplant?
If you notice Brendan Fraser’s hair, it will feel like it has suddenly started growing after a point. However, it is not quite true. The reason behind it is Brendan Fraser’s hair transplant. A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves the transplantation of hair follicles from one part of the body, typically the back or sides of the scalp, to areas where hair loss or thinning has occurred.
It is an effective and permanent solution for individuals experiencing pattern baldness or hair thinning due to factors like genetics, hormonal changes, or trauma. The procedure is performed by a skilled surgeon who carefully extracts healthy hair follicles, known as donor grafts, and implants them into the balding or thinning areas.
The first step in Brendan Fraser’s hair transplant procedure is the evaluation and planning phase. Here, the surgeon assesses the patient’s hair loss pattern, donor hair availability, and determines the best approach for achieving natural-looking results. The surgery itself is typically performed under local anesthesia. This ensures the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure. Using advanced techniques such as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), the surgeon carefully harvests individual hair follicles or strips of tissue containing multiple follicles. These grafts are then meticulously placed into tiny incisions made in the recipient area, following the natural hair growth pattern.
After the Brendan Fraser hair transplant procedure, patients may experience a temporary period of redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the scalp. The transplanted hair initially falls out within a few weeks, but the hair follicles remain intact beneath the skin. Over the following months, new hair growth gradually emerges from the transplanted follicles, resulting in thicker, fuller, and more natural-looking hair. With proper post-operative care and adherence to the surgeon’s instructions, the final results of a hair transplant can be remarkable and provide individuals with a renewed sense of confidence and improved appearance.
It is important to note that a hair transplant should be performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon who specializes in hair restoration procedures. Choosing a reputable clinic like AZ Hair Restoration and discussing realistic expectations with the surgeon are key steps in achieving successful outcomes.
Benefits Of Hair Transplant Like Brendan Fraser
Hair transplants, like Brendan Fraser’s hair transplant, have several benefits. Here are a few popular benefits that should convince you to get a hair transplant like Brendan Fraser’s hair transplant:
- Restores a Natural Hairline: Hair transplant surgery is a highly effective procedure for restoring a natural hairline and enhancing the overall appearance of the hair like Brendan Fraser’s hair. Skilled surgeons meticulously transplant healthy hair follicles from donor areas, such as the back or sides of the head, to areas experiencing hair loss or thinning. By carefully placing these follicles in the recipient areas, the surgeon can create a hairline that looks natural and blends seamlessly with the existing hair.
- Permanent and Long-lasting Results: One of the key advantages of a hair transplant is its permanent nature. The transplanted hair follicles are typically resistant to the hormone DHT, which is responsible for causing hair loss in individuals with a genetic predisposition. This means that the transplanted hair is less likely to fall out or thin over time. Patients can enjoy a fuller head of hair like Brendan Fraser’s hair and regain their self-confidence for years to come.
- Improved Self-confidence and Psychological Well-being: Hair loss can have a significant impact on a person’s self-esteem and overall psychological well-being. By restoring a fuller head of hair, a hair transplant can help individuals regain their self-confidence and improve their quality of life. The procedure can enhance their appearance, make them feel more attractive, and reduce self-consciousness about their hair loss. As a result, patients often experience improved self-image, social interactions, and overall happiness.
- Natural-looking Results: Skilled hair transplant surgeons aim to achieve natural-looking results by taking into account factors such as hairline design, hair density, and the direction of hair growth. By closely mimicking the natural hair pattern, the transplanted hair blends seamlessly with the existing hair and creates an undetectable and harmonious outcome. The transplanted hair can be styled, cut, and treated just like Brendan Fraser’s hair.
- Minimal Downtime and Recovery: Hair transplant procedures have advanced significantly, allowing for minimally invasive techniques with shorter recovery times. Most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days after the procedure. The transplanted hair follicles initially shed within a few weeks but new hair growth begins within a few months. Over time, the transplanted hair gradually thickens and becomes indistinguishable from the surrounding hair.
- Cost-effective in the Long Run: While hair transplant surgery may require an upfront investment, it can be a cost-effective option in the long run. Unlike temporary solutions like medications or topical treatments that require ongoing use and expense, a hair transplant offers a permanent solution to hair loss. This eliminates the need for continuous spending on alternative treatments.
- Increased Hair Density: Hair transplant surgery allows for the transplantation of a significant number of hair follicles. This can effectively increase hair density in areas that were previously thinning or experiencing hair loss. By strategically placing the transplanted hair follicles, the surgeon can achieve a denser and fuller appearance like Brendan Fraser’s hair. The patients will have a more youthful and voluminous head of hair.
By considering these benefits, individuals experiencing hair loss can make informed decisions about hair transplant surgery and explore the potential it holds for restoring their hair and confidence. Consulting with a reputable hair transplant specialist is crucial for evaluating candidacy, discussing concerns, and understanding the specific advantages that a hair transplant can offer.

Including ESG matters in equity and bond investments is very down to earth and part of the portfolio manager’s day-to-day work when selecting investments and managing funds. Our goal is to seek best returns in all our stratgies and the ESG process plays a significant role in achieving the goal. Our investment processes are typically designed to identify long term sustainable growth and profitability and therefore ESG is imbedded in the process in selection and monitoring stages.
One of the most important areas is the availability of the sustainability reporting, where we have for years actively encouraged companies to better transparency. In practice, we go through all our investments with the ESG metrics that we have selected. Since 2018, our own sustainability assessment work has been supported by ISS-Ethix, which monitors the contents of our funds quarterly to detect any violations of the UN's Global Compact principles. This information is used actively in the interaction with companies, and in all serious violations, we will launch a separate follow-up process of our own in order to find out if the investment is still in line with our responsibility principles for long-term ownership. The number of serious violations has remained very low in 2019, and is limited to a few companies world-wide.
We have one thematic fund which is positioned with social and environmental themes (eQ Blue Planet). Also, we manage a tailor-made low carbon strategy.
