TONY Leung Chiu Wai is nothing like the heartless flirtatious character he portrays in 2046. On the contrary, he is a gentleman when it comes to talking about the actresses who play his lovers in the movie.
Faye Wong “has very expressive body language. The sparks we generate are always very unusual.”
The two also starred in two other films – Chungking Express (1994), also directed by Wong Kar Wai, and Chinese Odyssey 2002 (2002), directed by Jeffrey Lau.
Zhang Ziyi is “very hardworking” and working with Gong Li was “very comfortable, not pressurising, even though I’m a big fan of hers.”
Of long-time girlfriend Carina Lau, he says: “I actually don’t like working with her on films. It feels very strange, very fake. Maybe we know each other too well.”
Over the phone from Shanghai where the film was released last month, Leung, 42, sounds slightly tired. Perhaps it is the publicity requirements, or maybe the fact that making 2046 was a convoluted process.
In it, he plays the same character from 2000’s In the Mood for Love.
“Previously, the character was gentler, more thoughtful, and serious. But he has changed a lot. It wasn’t easy to grasp his rhythm and body language so I asked Wong Kar Wai to give the character a moustache to help me differentiate the two phases,’ he says.
“I took on other projects when we were not shooting during those five years, and when I had to get back into the role, I had forgotten a lot of things, like the character’s gestures.”
Still, he is accepting of Wong’s methods, to which he believes he owes his current status as an acclaimed actor. They first worked together in 1991’s Days of Being Wild, at a time when Leung was feeling bottlenecked as an actor.
“I couldn’t find any way to improve, and I was bored with the business. So that was actually a very important film in my career. He discovered a lot of potential in me.”
Today, he has arrived at an acting epiphany of his own.
“Actually, the more I act, the more I feel I’m playing myself. It’s my views and emotions filtered through my own experiences.”
Still, Leung professes not to take his job too seriously. “I’ve no noble aims. I just think acting is fun. I just want to make people happy and provide some entertainment.”
So there are no directorial ambitions? “Directing needs talent and a point of view, and I’m much too lazy,” he says. “I might go into producing films. I like to control things.” – The Straits Times, Singapore / Asia News Network

The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT offers a competitive gaming experience to the Nvidia RTX 3090 on many levels, and on price alone it's hard to argue that this isn't the best premium graphics card for most gamers right now – but with Nvidia Lovelace and AMD RDNA 3 just around the corner, there might be even better cards at the same price point by the end of 2022.
RTX 3090 gaming performance (sometimes)
Much cheaper than best RTX cards
4K gaming on AMD Radeon
Next-gen cards are nearly here
Not great for creative workloads
Ray tracing performance lags RTX

AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT: Two minute review
AMD should have led with the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT.
After a year and a half since AMD launched this generation's RDNA 2 graphics cards, and almost two years after Nvidia launched its first consumer Ampere cards, AMD has come out with a card that epitomizes everything AMD is known and respected for. It's just a shame that it's last call on this generation of graphics cards, and the RX 6950 XT likely won't get the love it really deserved.
The RX 6950 XT is the first graphics card from Team Red to pose an actually serious challenge to the Nvidia RTX 3090's gaming performance, and even though some inconsistencies inevitably hold it back from going a full twelve rounds against Nvidia's best, it's the kind of fighter that you find yourself cheering for anyway.
What is so appealing about the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT is that it is simply one of the best graphics cards – if not the best – in the premium tier when measuring its price to its performance. AMD has always been known for offering great cards at a great price, and what's amazing about the RX 6950 XT is that AMD manages to bring that same philosophy into the premium tier of the graphics card market.
Cards at this level are all about performance and they normally have prices to match, but the RX 6950 XT shows that even the most exclusive clubs can have an item or two on the value menu.
As such, it is a great option for gamers out there who can afford a premium card, but aren't actually giant, human-shaped, walking piles of money – it least it would be, if RDNA 3 wasn't right around the corner. AMD's next-gen graphics cards are likely to make some major advances in terms of ray tracing and hardware-assisted upscaling tech that should blow the current generation of AMD cards out of the water, so buying anything premium from this generation right now is iffy at best.
It's entirely possible that an AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT could have comparable performance to the RX 6950 XT, and it will likely be cheaper, so the potential value of this card is somewhat wasted with so late an entry into the market. Again, it's a shame, because this card has a lot going for it, at least on the gaming front.
If you're not a gamer though, there really isn't a whole lot for you here. While the RX 6950 XT is the best AMD graphics card to hit the market, its creative workload performance still lags considerably behind the best Nvidia GeForce graphics cards, and without Tensor cores, the RX 6950 XT simply isn't up for the task of intense machine learning models and other similar research work that makes Nvidia RTX cards so prized.
All that said, this was always meant to be a gamer's graphics card, and for the price you're paying, the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT might be that rare premium PC component that manages to deliver outstanding value in a market where such an idea is almost entirely alien. But if you can wait until RDNA 3 launches, it might be worth seeing what AMD's next-gen cards offer before plopping down a lot of money on a card that could be quickly overshadowed before the year is out.
AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT: Price and availability
- How much is it? MSRP listed at $1,099 (about £880, AU$1,580), $1,299 as reviewed
- When is it out? It is available now
- Where can you get it? You can buy in the US, UK, and Australia
The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT we reviewed is the Gigabyte RX 6950 XT Gaming OC version, rather than an AMD reference card, so it's a bit more expensive than AMD's $1,099 (about £880, AU$1,580) MSRP.
The Gigabyte RX 6950 XT Gaming OC card retails for $1,299 (about £1,039 / AU$1,870), which is still $200 (about £160 / AU$290) cheaper than Nvidia's RTX 3090 Founders Edition card, and $300 (about £240 / AU$430) cheaper than the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3090 Gaming OC card.
AMD's MSRP for the RX 6950 XT is also $100 (about £80 / AU$145) less than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, even though the 3080 Ti is a much more comparable card to the RX 6950 XT by the numbers in most cases.
It's also worth noting that AMD cards are generally not as heavily bought for mining or by profiteers on resale sites, so they've generally seen better availability than RTX 30-series cards and so might be easier to find in most cases.
- Value: 4/5
AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT: Design and chipset
- On-board Dual BIOS switch for OC and Silent modes
- 16.7 million RGB color options for Gigabyte logo on card
- Faster GPU and memory clocks
The Gigabyte RX 6950 XT Gaming OC card we reviewed is a pretty good looking card that you won't be embarassed to show off in your build, and it sure as hell looks more attractive than the AMD reference card design for the RDNA 2 cards.
Sporting a silver and dark gray colorway, the Gigabyte card features a three-alternating-fan cooling solution where the middle fan spins counterwise to the two fans on either side of it. This is designed to make for less turbulent air flow through the card to help keep things cool, and it does appear to take 5°C to 10°C off the max temperature in our tests compared to the RTX 3090 Ti and RTX 3080. But that isn't so much of a difference that other conditions might have played a larger role than a counterclockwise spinning fan blade. If nothing else, it looks cool if you stop to notice it at any point.
Stream Processors: 5,120
Ray Accelerators: 80
Power Draw (TGP): 335W
Base Clock: 1,925 MHz
Boost Clock: 2,324 MHz
VRAM: 16GB GDDR6
Memory Speed: 1,800MHz
Memory Bus: 256-bit
Memory Bandwith: 576.0 GB/s
Card Interface: PCIe 4.0
Outputs: 2 x HDMI 2.1, 2 x DisplayPort 1.4a
Power Connector: 3 x 8-pin
Recommended PSU: 850W
Chances are you won't really see it though, but that's ok because Gigabyte's Aorus Fusion 2.0 will let you program 16.7 million different color options into the Gigabyte logo along the visible edge, including several different patterns like color wave, color pulse, and more, that adds some additional RGB flair to your build.
There is also a attractive looking backplate to the card that doesn't just protect the sensitive connections on the PCB, but the brushed metal design has an almost space-station-y feel to it that is an excellent complement to a Gigabyte Aorus motherboard.
Along the edge of that backplate, you'll also find a dual BIOS switch that can flip the card from OC to Silent mode, with the former pushing performance while the latter is designed for quieter operation.
Finally, this card needs a lot of power, but it blessedly doesn't come with Nvidia's funky new connectors that require an adapter to convert from your standard 8-pin to a 12-pin one. The RX 6950 XT will still require three available 8-pin connectors though.
On the inside, the Gigabyte RX 6950 XT is powered by the same Navi21 GPU found in the Radeon RX 6900 XT, though with some faster clock speeds for both the GPU and the 16GB of GDDR6 memory.
The RX 6900 XT, for example, features a base clock of 1,825 MHz and a boost of 2,250 MHz, compared to the RX 6950 XT's 1,925 MHz and 2,324 MHz, respectively, which is a bit over 3% to 5% faster.
In terms of memory, the VRAM on the RX 6950 XT is also a bit faster at 2,250MHz, compared to the RX 6900 XT's 2,000MHz. With the amount of VRAM and the same 256-bit memory bus, this extra speed might not seem like a lot, but it does mean that the card has almost 13% more memory bandwidth than the RX 6900 XT, 576GB/s to 512GB/s, respectively.
The RX 6950 XT has the same number of stream processors as the RX 6900 XT (5,120), as well as the same number of Ray Accelerators (80). With its faster clocks and an additional 35W of TGP as the RX 6900 XT (325W to 300W, respectively), the RX 6950 XT is simply able to do more with the hardware it has.
- Design: 3.5/5
AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT: Performance
- Excellent RTX 3090-level performance (most of the time)
- Creative workloads falter
The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT is unquestionably the best video card AMD has ever put out, and while it's not exactly the equal of the RTX 3090 (or the RTX 3080 Ti, in some cases), it's still more than enough performance to play the best PC games on ultra settings with some ray tracing and get playable and even enjoyable 4K gaming with the help of AMD FSR.
This is the system we used to test the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
CPU Cooler: Corsair iCue H150i Elite Capellix 360mm AIO
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LED DDR4-3200
Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Master X570 (BIOS F36c)
SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD
Power Supply: Corsair AX1000
Case: Praxis Wetbench
FSR support is still rolling out, so you may still need to make adjustments to your settings to hit the top of the parabolic curve where graphics quality and 60 fps line up.
But that's the case even with the RTX 3090 Ti with DLSS on, which only just barely hits 60 fps (ocassionally) in Cyberpunk 2077's benchmark at 4K with the Ultra Ray Tracing graphics preset. And, even then, that's its max frame rate, its average is in the high 40s, while without any upscaling, the RTX 3090 Ti only hits 24 fps on those settings.
The RX 6950 XT, meanwhile, only maxes out in the high 30s with FSR on, though it's average is about 29 fps. Without any upscaling support, the RX 6950 XT creaks in with 13 fps on these settings.
In nearly all of our benchmarks, the RX 6950 XT falls short of the RTX 3090 and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, and even the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080, depending on the test. But where the RX 6950 XT falters, it's not completely bowled over, and its greatest weakness is when ray tracing is being pushed to the max.
Nvidia cards are simply better at ray tracing since their ray tracing cores are just a more mature graphics architecture at this stage than AMD's first generation Ray Accelerators introduced with AMD RDNA 2. The RX 6950 XT's rasterization performance is still just as good or better than the RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3090's, with the latest AMD card beating even the RTX 3090 Ti in 3DMark's Fire Strike Ultra.
So while the Nvidia RTX cards are definitely the reigning champs at ray tracing, in many cases you simply won't be using ray tracing, since even on the top-tier Nvidia GPUs, you're still looking at a 4K slideshow without upscaling tech like DLSS and FSR, and not every game has implemented those technologies yet. In the case of most games you will be playing for the next couple of years, you're much more likely to need to lean on rasterization performance as you always have.
Ray tracing and upscaling tech just isn't fully here yet for it to be a blowout, and once you've enjoyed the show with ray tracing for a bit and you actually want to do some 4K gaming at 60fps, the RX 6950 XT becomes a lot more competitive, especially if you're willing to tweak some settings where appropriate, though not on every game out there.
The most important thing to say about the RX 6950 XT though is that for a lot of people, the idea of owning an RTX 3090 or RTX 3090 Ti is a pipe dream at their MSRP – even if it weren't for the silicon shortage, dastardly eBay and StockX profiteers, and the crypto bubble of 2020 - 2022 mucking things up even further.
At $1,099, the RX 6950 XT is roughly 27% cheaper than the RTX 3090 Founders Edition, and it's nearly half the price of the RTX 3090 Ti. It's even cheaper than the RTX 3080 Ti, and its gaming performance is very competitive against these top three RTX cards when you consider how much performance you get for every dollar spent on the card.
And we do want to stress that this is a gamer's graphics card, without a doubt. It does better than every other AMD card on our creative benchmarks, but it still way behind where even the RTX 3060 Ti is across Blender's three benchmark tests.
In fact, the RX 6950 XT only starts to beat out Nvidia cards in Blender starting at the RTX 3060, and even then it's just barely in only one of the three tests. Similarly, it's Adobe Premiere performance lags about 50 points behind the RTX 3060, and the RTX 3060 is about a third of the price of the RX 6950 XT. If you're a creative, you have a lot better options out there that will offer you a much better value for the workflows that you need.
All that said, while we can't say it's the best graphics card out there, the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT is pretty damned great if you're looking for a gaming graphics card, especially since it can give you a taste of really premium graphics if you're priced out of the RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti. As this generation of graphics cards winds down ahead of Nvidia Lovelace and AMD RDNA 3, the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT is a great card to close it out with. And who knows? You might even be able to find this one in stock someday.
- Performance: 4/5
Should I buy an AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT?
Buy it if…
You want fantastic non-ray-traced performance
While its ray tracing performance lags premium RTX cards, the RX 6950 XT can go toe to toe on rasterzation any day.
You want an "affordable" premium graphics card
For a card with this kind of performance, the RX 6950 XT is an excellent value that competes with cards nearly twice its MSRP.
You don't want to wait for RDNA 3
As possibly the last of the major AMD RDNA 2 releases, the RX 6950 XT is an impressive coda on this generation for Team Red.
Don’t buy it if…
You can wait another several months
If you're not in an absolute rush to buy a new graphics card, AMD RDNA 3 cards are expected to land later this year, and they might have a lot more to offer than you'll get with the RX 6950 XT.
You're on a tight budget
The RX 6950 XT is a great value for a card in its class, but it's still a very premium card in terms of its price.
You need it for something other than gaming
If you're a creative or you're doing research with machine learning, you're going to find the performance here seriously lacking, especially for the price.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090
As far as premium cards go, the RTX 3090 strikes a great balance between price and performance while having more features like tensor cores and more mature ray tracing cores than those in the RX 6950 XT. Just be willing to hand over an eye-watering sum of money for one.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
While only a bit more expensive than the RX 6950 XT, the RTX 3080 Ti has a lot of great features that the RX 6950 XT lacks, like tensor cores, better ray tracing, and better creative workload performance.

AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
The RX 6800 XT might not be nearly as powerful as the RX 6950 XT, but its performance-to-price ratio is phenomenal. As a 1440p graphics card, this is a fantastic option if you don't need 4K gaming capability and you want to save yourself some real money.

|Value||For a premium graphics card, the gaming performance you are getting for the price is fantastic, but better cards at the same price or lower might be just a few months away.||4/5|
|Design||The Gigabyte Gaming OC design is definitely a step up from the AMD reference card design, but it's also not a stunning showpiece.||3.5/5|
|Performance||Gaming performance is fantastic, especially for rasterized, non-ray-traced graphics, but it struggles with creative workloads.||4/5|

Animation Backgrounds is an amazing blog!
I am sure that these random scenes strike a chord in everybody who was exposed to cartoons from an early age.
I was especially amazed to find background pictures of "Donald in Mathmagic Land" which I remember having seen aged six, as a pre-film to "Bambi". Somehow these expressive, blue landscapes have stayed longer in my memory than the traumatic main feature. (although I was always pretty bad in math!)
The magnifying focus on random scenes, such as kitchens, back-alleys and stages, mostly shifted out of conventional angles and perspective, offers a fascinating insight into the American landscape of the last 80 years.
I guess that the freaky rocks and desert roads which make up the background of the Roadrunner-toons were always more real to me as the real thing.
Despite it´s nerdy theme, the site created by Rob Richards, is no excentric niche-blog. Many commenters proof the worldwide interest in these pre-pop-art paintings, which seem to be sold for insane amounts of money.
Who would have thought that background pictures of old cartoons would have a longer life than any ACME-product?

You got to be tough for this one, but somebody had to do it!
German blog Antiteilchen has descended into the deepest deep of online hook-up sites and brought amazing treasures to the surface. Whatever he hoped to find there, I doubt it was this!
At the time of writing, "Antiteilchen" has compiled 24 parts of a photo-series called "Schwule Wohnkultur (gay way of living), challenging the cliche that gay men have better taste in decorating their habitat.
Surreal to a point that no artist could have imagined, these photos are either funny and/or repelling. You can easily forget that these men are actually trying to "promote" themselves.
Either oblivious to their surroundings, or completely unfazed by a globalized vision of "good taste", but always true to their obsessions, they put themselves into the center of attention. Everything else is just a bonus!
Clicking the pictures will make them larger (I am sorry!). Watch for the details!

Context: Adult women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have decreased GnRH pulse generator sensitivity to progesterone (P)-mediated slowing. This defect is androgen mediated because it is reversed with androgen receptor blockade. Adolescent hyperandrogenism often precedes PCOS.
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate GnRH pulse generator sensitivity to P-mediated slowing in normal and hyperandrogenic girls.
Design: We conducted a controlled interventional study.
Setting: The study was conducted in a general clinical research center.
Participants: A total of 26 normal control (NC) and 26 hyperandrogenic (HA) girls were studied.
Intervention: Frequent blood sampling was performed for 11 h to assess LH pulse frequency before and after 7 d of oral estradiol and P.
Main outcome measure: We measured the slope of the percentage reduction in LH pulse frequency as a function of d 7 P (slope).
Results: Overall, Tanner 3-5 HA subjects were less sensitive to P-mediated slowing than Tanner 3-5 NC (slope, 4.7 +/- 3.4 vs. 10.3 +/- 7.7; P = 0.006). However, there was variability in the responses of HA subjects; 15 had P sensitivities within the range seen in NC, whereas nine were relatively P insensitive. The two groups had similar testosterone levels. Fasting insulin levels were higher in P-insensitive HA girls (39.6 +/- 30.6 vs. 22.2 +/- 13.9 microIU/ml; P = 0.02), and there was an inverse relationship between fasting insulin and P sensitivity in HA girls (P = 0.02). Tanner 1-2 NC had lower testosterone levels and were more P sensitive than Tanner 3-5 NC (slope, 19.3 +/- 5.8; P = 0.04).
Conclusions: Hyperandrogenism is variably associated with reduced GnRH pulse generator sensitivity to P-mediated slowing during adolescence. In addition to androgen levels, insulin resistance may modulate P sensitivity.

like to mount it to a 24" slide bar with the center of the bar at +/- 66" above the floor. That way it could be used as a secondary shower head for either an adult or a kid (who oftentimes like to use Mommy's new shower). If it just used when shaving your legs or to clean the shower, I might put it

A simple tomato sauce and oregano grace Nancy Silverton’s excellent Neapolitan-style pizza.
- 2 tablespoons fresh cake yeast (plus 1/ packed teaspoon)
- 3 ¾ cups bread flour
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 28 ounces whole tomatoes (1 can drained)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for garnishing)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Sea salt and dried or fresh oregano (for garnishing)
Prepare the Flour and Water for the Pastry
Step-1: Break up the yeast and add it to the lukewarm water in a medium basin. You need to wait 3 minutes for the yeast to dissolve. Add half a cup of bread flour and stir until combined. When the sponge is bubbling and thicker, after 12 to 18 hours, remove the plastic wrap and leave the bowl at room temperature.
Step-2: Olive oil should be used to coat a big basin lightly. Mix the sponge with 1 1/4 cups + 2 teaspoons of lukewarm water in the bowl of a stand mixer outfitted with the dough hook. To the bowl, using the paddle attachment, add the remaining two teaspoons of yeast and 3 1/4 cups of bread flour. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. When the dough is smooth and pulls away from the edge of the bowl, about 7 minutes after adding the salt, the dough is done mixing at medium speed. Gather the dough into a ball on a floured surface, then roll it about to coat it with oil before placing it in the prepared bowl. Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap and let it out on the counter for 1 1/2 hours or until the dough has doubled.
Step-3: Release the dough onto a floured surface. Flip the dough over so that the folded side faces the bowl, then fold the top and bottom in toward the center and the right and left sides toward the center. Leave in a plastic bag for 1 hour at room temperature or until the volume doubles.
Step-4: Spread parchment paper on a baking pan. The dough should be turned onto a floured board and cut into nine 4-ounce pieces. Roll them into balls and place them on a baking sheet, oil-side up. Cover with a dish towel and set aside for 1 hour.
Concurrently, Prepare the Tomato Base.
Step-1: The tomatoes should be processed in a food blender or processor until completely smooth. Put in a bowl and mix with the rest of the stuff, excluding the toppings.
Step-2: Turn on the oven to 500 degrees. Prepare four 8-inch cake pans by lightly oiling them. Spread the bottom of the cake pan with the dough by placing one dough ball in the pan and flattening it with your fingertips. Apply three tablespoons of the sauce all over the dough. Add another three dough balls and extra sauce, and repeat. The pizzas need around 10 minutes in the oven to get a golden crispness on the bottoms. Dress with oil, salt, and oregano, and serve hot. Use the leftover dough and sauce in a second round.

We're currently housesitting in Miami Beach home to its famed South Beach and beautiful art deco architecture.
We could not be more centrally located than if we'd planned it. The historic centre of South Beach and its art deco buildings are all within walking distance of our gorgeous 7th-floor apartment and being as this is our first housesit ever without pets we're able to walk and explore to our heart's content.
The art deco buildings are apartment complexes, hotels and business complexes.
It's important to mention is that if not for the actions Barbara Baer Capitman who in 1976 founded the Miami Design Preservation League few if any of these buildings would still be standing.
Back in the 70s it made more sense to owners to tear down these old, decaying structures and replace them with sky scrappers that would accommodate more people and generate far more money.
Barbara saw these structures as part of Florida's history and through her determination and relentless campaigning she was able to convince the powers to be they had value and were worth preserving.
Originally the exterior of art deco buildings was a plain white facade. Barbara's friend, artist Leonard Horowitz, suggested they be painted pastel colours to compliment the surrounding sand, sea and tropical Florida climate. The soft beautiful colours we now associate with art deco enhances and emphasizes its unique architectural design to make them pop. Compare the plain buildings above and below to the painted ones. Colour really does enhance the overall appearance.
Prior to the beginning of our housesit we spent 3 nights at an Airbnb flat just a few blocks from where we are now. Enrique's flat had everything we could possibly need and again everything was within walking distance.
Miami Beach, of course, does have its fair share of high-rises - along with a wide sandy beach that goes on and on almost forever, but that will have to wait until next time.

The Truth is Powerful
Health systems, care delivery groups, Amazon launch hospital-at-home initiative
A new advocacy group called Moving Health Home launched on Wednesday, bringing together some heavy hitters – major health systems, care delivery services and technology vendors – who say they want to effect a shift in thinking about treating patients at home, and want to adjust reimbursement models accordingly.
WHY IT MATTERS
Founding members of this coalition include Amazon Care, Ascension, Dispatch Health, Elara Caring, Intermountain Healthcare, Home Instead, Landmark Health and Signify Health.
Together, these organizations want to “fundamentally change the way policymakers think about the home as a site of clinical service,” they said in announcing Moving Health Home.
They noted that the upsurge in virtual adoption over the past year has shown not only that Americans have an appetite for at-home care, but that the data has borne out its feasibility, safety and efficacy.
Telehealth, remote patient monitoring, digital therapeutics, provider home visits, sharable medical records have “shown that care in the home can be at least equivalent to, if not better than, care offered in facilities.”
Now, they said, it’s time to “change reimbursement models and the culture around institutional care to allow for Americans to choose their home as a site of care.”Among the group’s policy priorities: […]

Listen to an eerie Martian wind, picked up by Perseverance's microphone.
As if video footage of a NASA rover landing on Mars wasn't enough, now the agency has blessed us with another incredible recording.
NASA released the first ever audio recordings taken on the surface of Mars, as picked up by one of the Perseverance Mars rover's two microphones.
Skip to ten seconds in and you'll be able to hear an audible Martian breeze. The high-pitched frequencies are made by the rover itself.
— NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover (@NASAPersevere) February 22, 2021
The news comes after NASA's InSight Mars lander picked up eerie sounds of the Martian surface using the lander's seismometer and air pressure sensor, which was hailed as the first time the sounds of Mars were ever heard back on Earth.
But now, rather than relying on air pressure readings as a proxy, Perseverance has captured the real thing: a "commercial off-the-shelf" microphone, according to NASA, specifically for picking up sounds during entry, descent, and landing (EDL). Perseverance's second microphone is attached to its SuperCam instrument, a boom on the rover's head that can identify minerals and rock compositions.
"We know the public is fascinated with Mars exploration, so we added the EDL Cam microphone to the vehicle because we hoped it could enhance the experience, especially for visually-impaired space fans, and engage and inspire people around the world," Dave Gruel, lead engineer for the instruments at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, said in a statement.
There have been previous attempts to bring microphones to Mars, but oddly enough, Perseverance is the first to do so successfully. Both NASA's Mars Polar Lander and Phoenix Lander had microphones with them, but they either failed or never turned on.

I went through a kick of games, all the choose your destiny type games. So here we go!
So who wouldn't want to be a photography student with the ability to rewind time at any moment?! Welcome to the butterfly effect. After foreseeing an approaching storm, our heroine Maxine Caulfield is going to take matters into her own hands and try to prevent it from happening, or at least try to warn people of the impending doom.
Now, my friends all told me I would love this game. I love the Telltale games (Walking Dead, Wolf Among Us, ect), so I was really excited to play this one. And honestly...I didn't understand all the hype. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Now I'll explain both the high points and the low points for myself.
I LOVED the mechanics of the game. I think every decision based game should play out exactly like The Life is Strange. I didn't think it would be as wonderful as it was. But it was incredibly smooth and interactive to pull you into the story.
Though this is rather a funny statement....the main character actually changed her clothes on a new day in the game. Now, I feel like most games don't ever represent this, so it was a classy touch for me, to actually see that I needed to change my clothes and stop stinking up the place.
The storyline.....is INCREDIBLE predictable. Now when I say, I wasn't surprised by anything. I mean it. I saw everything coming a mile away, and I hoped with rewinding time something would be surprising...but it wasn't.
Character development was also a big no no for me. Okay we have a weird girl, the queen bee, a jock, the good girl gone bad, the girl everyone picks on, an emotional character, the goofy love interest, everything was the standard generic characters that I was hoping we'd get a good development on...but....the only one that gets a decent development is Max.
If you want something sort of casual to play this would be the game for you. And I will admit, I did beat all of the chapters because I wanted to know how the finale really ended, even though I knew it was coming. And of course you might really really enjoy it and be like this girl is crazy. But remember the butterfly effect is a dosey.

We are ready to transplant a human head, says neuroscientist
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- July 02, 2013
GOT your head screwed on right? This may become a pertinent question if this neuroscientist gets his way - he wants to begin transplanting heads.
Doctor Sergio Canavero of the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group has outlined a medical procedure which he says will successfully connect a brain to a spinal chord - the major challenge for any such operation.
"It is my contention that the technology only now exists for such linkage," he writes in the Surgical Neurology International journal.
But how much would such a procedure cost?
Dr Canavero says you would have to put aside some $15 million for the operation alone.
WHOSE BODY WOULD YOU WANT YOUR HEAD ATTACHED TO?
TELL US IN THE COMMENT BOX BELOW
Dr Canavero says his procedure is derived from successful head transplants of animals from experiments dating back to the 1970s.
The head of a rhesus monkey was transplanted to the body of another in 1970 in an experimental procedure.
The head was quickly cooled to about 12C and quickly transferred to a chilled new body.
Once the head was reconnected to the circulatory system, the body's heart was restarted and work initiated to connect the nervous system.
Dr Canavero argues that a "clean cut" by an ultra-sharp cutting implement was the key to success as it would allow the severed nerve cells to fuse with each other.
Late last month, scientists at Case Western Reserve University proved they could now restore some neural connectivity in the spinal cords of rats.
Perhaps all those people who have had their heads cryogenically frozen weren't out of their minds after all.
Innovations that make life easier
STOP living like a 21st century caveman and plug into these clever ways to get yourself a smarter home where fridges talk to us and robots do all the dirty work.
IN A decade, technology will be everywhere, yet nowhere. Computers will exist in every day objects and the speed of information will be out of control. This is a morning in 2024.
THE FBI’s “next generation identification” system has launched. And its implications for ordinary people are terrifying.
KIDS have become so used to fast and user friendly technology that many can’t even recognise a 1970s computer let alone make it work. Watch the results.

Though the BMC is keen on the blood bank, senior doctors from the hospital are opposed to it as the space that is being eyed for the project–just across the road from the hospital building–was originally reserved for its own expansion. Currently, it provides home for its emergency staff.
According to the doctors, the blood bank would translate into handing over the plot to the central AIDS authority, NACO. This, the doctors said, would not only affect the hospital’s expansion but its medical college could also lose the Medical Council of India recognition for lack of proper infrastructure. They cited the case of Seth G S Medical College, attached to KEM Hospital, which was served a de–recognition notice by the MCI last year for its failure to upgrade the infrastructure. The notice was withdrawn after the BMC gave a concrete proposal to expand KEM’s infrastructure.
On Tuesday, senior National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) officials visited the site belonging to the civic hospital across the road. "The blood bank will require only 11% of the 80,000 sq–ft land. We can have a plan in which the blood bank can come up and simultaneously, the hospital’s expansion can also be carried out.
The two can co–exist and are not mutually exclusive," said Manisha Mhaiskar, additional municipal commissioner, in–charge of public health. However, the two projects might not be conducted at the same time owing to the civic body’s financial condition. "Whichever gets funding first will take off the ground first," said Mhaiskar, indicating that the expansion might not happen in near future.
The BMC also informed state health minister Suresh Shetty on Tuesday that a proposal would be moved before the standing committee to obtain an in–principle approval for the blood bank. Only after the BMC house gives the nod will the government forward it to the Centre. The paperwork has to be done before March 31. Shetty said in case the BMC could not provide the land, the state would offer the space for the blood bank on the premises of ESIS Hospital in Mulund, a 15–minute drive from the Thane civic body–run Rajiv Gandhi Medical College and a 30–minute drive from Sion hospital.
The estimated cost of the Metro Blood Bank is Rs 340 crore for five years. When the Sion Hospital’s expansion plan was drafted, the cost was estimated at Rs 315 crore.
Sources warned that the civic administration was not keen on the hospital expansion plan. "The joint development proposal is an eye–wash. The BMC is yet to complete the auditorium building it started working on in 1998. Even the Out Patients Department building, which was taken up in 2001, has suffered the same fate. Even today, plans are being discussed or prepared on how the expansion should be done," said a source.

Cooking requires applying heat to a food which usually, though not always, chemically changes the molecules, thus changing its flavor, texture, appearance, and nutritional properties. Cooking certain proteins, such as egg whites, meats, and fish, denatures the protein, causing it to firm. There is archaeological evidence of roasted foodstuffs at Homo erectus campsites dating from 420,000 years ago. Boiling as a means of cooking requires a container, and has been practiced at least since the 10th millennium BC with the introduction of pottery.
France has various appellation systems based on the concept of terroir, with classifications ranging from Vin de Table ("table wine") at the bottom, through Vin de Pays and Appellation d'Origine Vin Délimité de Qualité Supérieure (AOVDQS), up to Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) or similar, depending on the region. Portugal has developed a system resembling that of France and, in fact, pioneered this concept in 1756 with a royal charter creating the Demarcated Douro Region and regulating the production and trade of wine. Germany created a similar scheme in 2002, although it has not yet achieved the authority of the other countries' classification systems. Spain, Greece and Italy have classifications based on a dual system of region of origin and product quality.

Communication between the Old World and the New World in the Columbian Exchange influenced the history of cooking. The movement of foods across the Atlantic, from the New World, such as potatoes, tomatoes, maize, beans, bell pepper, chili pepper, vanilla, pumpkin, cassava, avocado, peanut, pecan, cashew, pineapple, blueberry, sunflower, chocolate, gourds, and squash, had a profound effect on Old World cooking. The movement of foods across the Atlantic, from the Old World, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, wheat, oats, barley, rice, apples, pears, peas, chickpeas, green beans, mustard, and carrots, similarly changed New World cooking.
Wine cellars, or wine rooms, if they are above-ground, are places designed specifically for the storage and aging of wine. Fine restaurants and some private homes have wine cellars. In an active wine cellar, temperature and humidity are maintained by a climate-control system. Passive wine cellars are not climate-controlled, and so must be carefully located. Because wine is a natural, perishable food product, all types—including red, white, sparkling, and fortified—can spoil when exposed to heat, light, vibration or fluctuations in temperature and humidity. When properly stored, wines can maintain their quality and in some cases improve in aroma, flavor, and complexity as they age. Some wine experts contend that the optimal temperature for aging wine is 13 °C (55 °F), others 15 °C (59 °F).
Rising food prices in those years have been linked with social unrest around the world, including rioting in Bangladesh and Mexico, and the Arab Spring. Food prices worldwide increased in 2008. One cause of rising food prices is wealthier Asian consumers are westernizing their diets, and farmers and nations of the third world are struggling to keep up the pace. The past five years have seen rapid growth in the contribution of Asian nations to the global fluid and powdered milk manufacturing industry, which in 2008 accounted for more than 30% of production, while China alone accounts for more than 10% of both production and consumption in the global fruit and vegetable processing and preserving industry.
The spread of wine culture westwards was most probably due to the Phoenicians who spread outward from a base of city-states along the Mediterranean coast of what are today Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Palestine. The wines of Byblos were exported to Egypt during the Old Kingdom and then throughout the Mediterranean. Evidence includes two Phoenician shipwrecks from 750 BC discovered by Robert Ballard, whose cargo of wine was still intact. As the first great traders in wine (cherem), the Phoenicians seem to have protected it from oxidation with a layer of olive oil, followed by a seal of pinewood and resin, similar to retsina. Although the nuragic Sardinians already consumed wine before the arrival of the Phoenicians
Freeze-drying requires the use of heavy machinery and is not something that most campers are able to do on their own. Freeze-dried ingredients are often considered superior to dehydrated ingredients however, because they rehydrate at camp faster and retain more flavor than their dehydrated counterparts. Freeze-dried ingredients take so little time to rehydrate that they can often be eaten without cooking them first and have a texture similar to a crunchy chip.
The ideal temperature for serving a particular wine is a matter of debate by wine enthusiasts and sommeliers, but some broad guidelines have emerged that will generally enhance the experience of tasting certain common wines. A white wine should foster a sense of coolness, achieved by serving at "cellar temperature" (13 °C (55 °F)). Light red wines drunk young should also be brought to the table at this temperature, where they will quickly rise a few degrees. Red wines are generally perceived best when served chambré ("at room temperature"). However, this does not mean the temperature of the dining room—often around 21 °C (70 °F)—but rather the coolest room in the house and, therefore, always slightly cooler than the dining room itself. Pinot noir should be brought to the table for serving at 16 °C (61 °F) and will reach its full bouquet at 18 °C (64 °F). Cabernet Sauvignon, zinfandel, and Rhone varieties should be served at 18 °C (64 °F) and allowed to warm on the table to 21 °C (70 °F) for best aroma.
Between the extremes of optimal health and death from starvation or malnutrition, there is an array of disease states that can be caused or alleviated by changes in diet. Deficiencies, excesses, and imbalances in diet can produce negative impacts on health, which may lead to various health problems such as scurvy, obesity, or osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases as well as psychological and behavioral problems. The science of nutrition attempts to understand how and why specific dietary aspects influence health.
Adulteration is a legal term meaning that a food product fails to meet the legal standards. One form of adulteration is an addition of another substance to a food item in order to increase the quantity of the food item in raw form or prepared form, which may result in the loss of actual quality of food item. These substances may be either available food items or non-food items. Among meat and meat products some of the items used to adulterate are water or ice, carcasses, or carcasses of animals other than the animal meant to be consumed.

When you buy financial stocks, you’re investing in the world’s leading providers of banking services, insurance, credit cards and a wide range of other financial services. Best Financial Stocks
Because the financial sector forms the core of the global economy, investors should strongly consider making financial stocks an important part of their portfolios.
Rising interest rates are often good news for bank stocks, helping expand their net interest margins. Higher interest rates can also boost insurance companies’ profits on the safe debt they hold.
However, banks and other financial stocks holding long-term debt investments have run into problems in 2023 amid bond market weakness.
In addition, investors are concerned that the Federal Reserve will be unable to bring down inflation without triggering a U.S. recession, which is bad news for bank loan growth and most of the financial sector.
Understanding Financial Stocks
Financial sector stocks belong to companies that offer investment banking, consumer banking, lending, insurance or credit card services. While banks are a big part of the story, they’re hardly the only sort of companies active in this key stock market sector. The financial sector also includes insurance companies, investment firms, financial tech (fintech) startups and service providers for the industry. Some of the key categories in this sector include:
- Banking. Banks form the foundation of the financial sector, providing deposit accounts and loans to businesses and consumers. There are commercial banks, which mainly work with individuals and small businesses; investment banks, which work with large institutions and high-net-worth investors; and banks that do both.
- Insurance. Insurers sell and manage various types of insurance policies, like health, life, property and liability.
- Financial services. Companies that provide services like credit cards, investment management and accounting are considered financial services firms. This also includes support services for the sector, like credit bureaus and bond ratings agencies.
- Fintech. Fintech covers companies working on new technologies for the financial sector, such as innovative payments companies and firms that develop cryptocurrency technology.
Advantages of Financial Stocks
Solid long-term performance. Over the past 30 years, the financial sector’s earnings have grown significantly faster than the economy as a whole, allowing financial companies to pay above average dividends to their shareholders and creating solid price-to-earnings ratios. While past performance is no guarantee of future success, it can be helpful to look backward when gauging investment opportunities.
More regulated after the Great Recession. The financial crisis of 2008 exposed problems in the financial sector that governments around the world have worked to address with regulation. Today, financial firms are required to take more measures to avoid trouble, like holding higher minimum capital levels to protect against losses. This reduces their risk compared to the sector in the past.
Chance for government support in recessions. The health of the financial sector has a direct bearing on the health of the global economy. As a result, financial firms can count on special support during a recession or a financial crisis. When banks ran into financial trouble during the Great Recession, for instance, governments bailed many of them out.
Benefit from rising interest rates. Today, interest rates are near historic lows. When they go up, however, banks, credit card companies and other lenders could increase their earnings by charging higher rates. Insurance companies can also earn more from their fixed income investments as bond interest rates go up.
Innovation from fintech. Financial sector stocks have benefitted from innovations like blockchain, mobile payment apps and robo-advisors, laying the groundwork for more sector growth.
Risks of Financial Stocks
Cyclical performance during recessions. Financial stocks are cyclical and sensitive to economic downturns. When people and businesses are struggling, they take out fewer loans, invest less and spend less on their credit cards, reducing revenue for financial companies. Not to mention, they may stop making payments on their existing loans.
Loan defaults can strain balance sheets. If a person or business cannot pay back their loan and defaults, the lender ends up writing off the debt. While this is part of a financial company’s regular business model, should things go really bad, defaults can spiral and put an otherwise solid company into bankruptcy, like when the housing bubble popped and turned into the 2008 financial crisis.
Disruption from technology. While the fintech innovations are exciting for new up and comers, they could disrupt established banks and other financial companies, adding an extra risk for their long-term prospects.
Government regulation can reduce profits. The financial sector is heavily regulated, and it’s possible for the government to take further action, like requiring banks to increase their capital reserves even more. While these actions make the sector safer, it hurts their profits because this is extra money they can’t lend out or invest.
How to Buy Financial Stocks
If you already have a taxable brokerage account or a tax-advantaged retirement account, like an individual retirement account (IRA), buying financial stocks is easy. But if you don’t have an IRA or a brokerage account, check out Forbes Advisor’s list of the best online brokerages.
Before you buy, research the financial sector and get familiar with ins and outs of this key industry. Keep in mind that individual stock picking is a risky business. Returns are not guaranteed, and the performance of individual stocks can be highly volatile—even among the biggest companies in the financial sector.
Here is a Best Financial Stocks
Visa Inc. (V)
Visa is one of the world’s largest credit card companies and electronic payment platforms. Amid broad financial sector weakness, Visa’s stock is up 10.4% in 2023 through April 27 on a total return basis, which includes dividends – the best performance on this list.
Analyst David Holt says Visa’s diversified business model is insulated from cyclical fluctuations in consumer trends or the macroeconomic background. In fact, he says Visa’s exposure to different payment categories will allow the company to maintain sustainable revenue and earnings growth.
In addition, Holt says Visa’s scale will help it generate high returns on capital. CFRA has a “buy” rating and $263 price target for V stock, which closed at $229.01 on April 27.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)
JPMorgan Chase is one of the largest global banks and financial services companies, with roughly $3.7 trillion in assets. Analyst Kenneth Leon says JPMorgan has an opportunity to gain wallet share in the event of a shallow U.S. recession in 2023 and could benefit from a rebound in asset and wealth management in 2024.
In addition, Leon says investments in banking technology and applications should help boost growth and customer retention. JPMorgan’s first-quarter return on common equity of 18% was best in class among large U.S. banks. CFRA has a “buy” rating and $160 price target for JPM stock, which closed at $137.05 on April 27.
Mastercard Inc. (MA)
Mastercard is one of the world’s largest credit card and payments providers. Holt says Mastercard is an excellent defensive investment in an uncertain economic environment.
In addition, he says the company has made progress in expanding into tech-heavy trends, such as remittances, commercial point of sales and virtual cards.
Holt says Mastercard’s capital-light business model creates opportunities for operating leverage and above-average earnings growth. Finally, he says the global shift from cash and checks to digital payments will be a long-term growth catalyst for Mastercard. CFRA has a “buy” rating and $415 price target for MA stock, which closed at $373.67 on April 27.
Bank of America Corp. (BAC)
Bank of America is one of the largest diversified U.S. banks and financial holding companies. The stock is down 12.2% year to date, the worst performer on this list.
Leon says investors should buy the dip given nearly 90% of interest rate sensitivity to Bank of America loans is driven by short-term rates. Leon is bullish on Bank of America’s leading retail deposit market share among consumer and small businesses.
The bank also has a leadership position in wealth management thanks to its Merrill Edge platform. CFRA has a “buy” rating and $41 price target for BAC stock, which closed at $28.89 on April 27.
Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC)
Wells Fargo is one of the largest U.S. banks and has a mostly U.S. lending footprint. Leon says Wells Fargo is well positioned for profitable growth, and the stock has been gaining earnings momentum.
Wells Fargo has improved operating efficiencies, which help it increase net interest income. Leon says the bank’s portfolio of commercial loans to small and midsize businesses is performing well, and its overall business is stable. An end to the Federal Reserve’s asset cap could be a bullish catalyst at some point as well.
CFRA has a “buy” rating and $50 price target for WFC stock, which closed at $39.66 on April 27.
Morgan Stanley (MS)
Morgan Stanley is one of the largest U.S. investment banks. The stock also pays a 3.5% dividend, highest on this list.
Leon says Morgan Stanley has negligible exposure to unrealized losses on assets held to maturity, and he expects the bank to gain wallet share over the next 18 months. He anticipates equity and debt capital markets will soon recover and says the merger and acquisition pipeline is already starting to improve.
Leon says Morgan Stanley’s diversified asset and wealth management business creates significant shareholder value. CFRA has a “strong buy” rating and $105 price target for MS stock, which closed at $90.26 on April 27.
American Express Co. (AXP)
American Express is a financial services company that specializes in credit cards, digital payments and travel services. Analyst Alexander Yokum says American Express should generate more than 30% earnings growth over the next two years while its major competitors all experience earnings contractions.
Yokum says healthy spending growth, expanding card fees and moderation of marketing expenses will boost earnings. In addition, he says American Express’ low loan-loss provisions, just 6% of total revenue, are a reflection of its insulation from credit risk. CFRA has a “strong buy” rating and $215 price target for AXP stock, which closed at $158.45 on April 27.
S&P Global Inc. (SPGI)
S&P Global provides credit ratings services and data analytics. It also operates S&P Dow Jones, which manages the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other popular benchmark indexes.
Yokum says S&P’s ratings business bottomed in late 2022 and will recover over the next two years. In addition, he says the company should benefit from a more stable interest rate environment and less economic uncertainty.
Yokum says investors do not fully appreciate the financial stability the IHS Markit acquisition will provide. CFRA has a “buy” rating and $425 price target for SPGI stock, which closed at $355.58 on April 27.

Trout Pâté with Port Wine
The Trout Pâté with Port Wine is a particularly appreciated delicacy. It combines the quality of the fish, its freshness and unique flavor with ingredients that lend it an alchemical character, in a balanced seasoning blend of olive oil, Port Wine and vinegar.
Some days simplicity is utterly exquisite!
CHILDREN IN THE KITCHEN
Mini-hamburgers of trout pâté with Port wine
Serve 4 to 6 children
Mince a fresh trout, skin and bones removed with the canned trout (2 cans). Add ¼ of chopped coriander sauce and lime zest. Leave in the fridge for two hours. Use a round ring and cling film to mould the hamburgers. Sear them in olive oil and 1 crushed garlic. Bake in the oven at 200ºC for about 3 minutes. Serve with boiled potatoes and salad.
Mini-hamburgers of pâté of trout with Port wine and spinaches
Serves 4 to 6 adults
Boil four medium-sized potatoes, drain and mash to obtain a puree. Mix the puree with the trout pâté (2 cans), 2 tablespoons of chopped chives, 2 sprigs of lemon thyme (leaves only), and 1 egg. If it looks a bit moist, add breadcrumbs. Mould the hamburger, fry it in an anti-adherent frying pan with a bit of olive oil. When it is almost done, add the butter on high heat until it forms some foam. Sauté 200 gr of spinaches in hot olive oil with the crushed garlic and a bit of salt flower. Finish with a portion of raw mushrooms, as needed.


If you’re considering deploying occupancy sensors in your workplace, it’s important to consider the best way to power and maintain the sensors.
There are a variety of options including battery, wired and wireless.
Battery powered sensors are often marketed as being simpler for installation but they typically rely on non-rechargeable batteries and create a significant amount of waste and logistical costs when scheduling replacements.
In this post, we’ll explore some of the myths about battery powered workplace sensors…
Battery powered sensors are simpler to deploy. I just ‘peel and stick’.
In the majority of cases, an installation project team is still required to fix sensors to ceilings and to maintain them.
Battery powered sensors have similar coverage to wired solutions.
Battery powered sensors often rely on low resolution cameras to try and conserve battery power. These low res cameras result in lower coverage range per sensor and the need to purchase more individual units to have whole floor coverage.
Battery powered sensors can effectively support real time use cases.
Battery powered sensors are often configured to only capture sighting every 5 -10 minutes or else the batteries drain too quickly. With large gaps in the data being collected you miss capturing key information on paths of movement, COVID capacity limits and shorter encounters/meetings. You don’t get the full picture.
It’s cheaper. I don’t need to pay for cabling.
Sensor batteries will drain at different times depending on the activity being recorded. This creates an expensive, never ending battery maintenance program with different sensors offline at different times and requiring manual maintenance to change. With sensor batteries offline you also risk data continuity.
It’s ok. I’ll just keep reserves of batteries.
For a 20,000 seat organisation, battery-powered sensors could generate as much as 500kg – 1 tonne of toxic battery waste every 2-3 years. Excessive battery waste threatens sustainability goals and creates another waste management factor for teams.
There’s now a better way…
When engineering our advanced sensor, the XY Sense team recognized the pitfalls of both battery and traditional PoE deployment methods for workplace sensors.
That’s why we came up with something new.
XY Sense’s innovative Senselink™ deployment allows multiple sensors to be ‘daisy-chained’ together during installation to draw power+ data from a single Communications Hub.
Each branch can power up to 6 sensors
Total length of each branch (6 sensors) can be up to 150m length
Each Communciations Hub can have up to 4 branches, powering a total of 18 sensors per Hub.
Customers typically install 1-3 Hubs per floor (depending on size)
Benefits of Senselink™
Minimises the total cost of sensor installation with 80% less cabling required vs. traditional PoE. Plus, no expensive managed switches are required.
Helps teams avoid ongoing resourcing costs for monitoring and changing out sensor batteries.
Ensures data continuity for sensors in real time mode. Sensors capture occupancy and paths of movement every 2 secs with no risk of losing data due to battery outages.
Leverage more sustainable/renewable energy sources from your building and meet sustainability goals. Avoid excessive battery waste.
When you combine XY Sense smart Senselink™ deployment options with each sensor’s huge coverage (1000ft/ ~20 desks per sensor) and real time accuracy (<1ft every 2 seconds), it’s easy to see why XY Sense is fast becoming the workplace sensor of choice for today’s property teams.

I often get the impression with Alex Rex (whose leader is Leeds-born now Glasgow-based Alex Neilson) from his music that he is living on the margins of society, on the very edge. But you to talk to him and he’s the nicest of blokes, all calm and contemplative.
You might know Neilson from the excellent prog-psych Trembling Bells where he was the chief songwriter and occasional vocalist as well as the drummer. Sadly that band broke up a couple of years ago just as they seemed to be attracting a wider audience after 10 years at it. He’s also drummed with a panoply of musicians from the international underground; from Bonnie "Prince" Billy to Shirley Collins, Jandek and Current 93.
In his prolific ‘other’ career he’s released as Alex Rex three albums since 2017 with another on the way in July. All three, ‘Vermillion’, ‘Otterburn’ and ‘Andromeda’ were influenced to varying degreesby the untimely death of a younger brother. Indeed, ‘Otterburn’ is the name of the houseboat he died on.
His music is often dark but not really ethereal; the adjective that often goes with it in reviews, Alex Rex/Neilson is full on, in your face, rather than transitory. And that remains the case, as you can tell from some of the other song titles on the forthcoming album -
‘The Dark inside the Shadow’/’Funeral Bouquet’/’Black Peonies’/’Every Wall is a Wailing Wall’.
On the other hand while his brother’s passing distinctly had a bearing on the previous albums it wasnever cloyingly or even morbidly, his words celebrating life rather than wallowing in self-pity.
And he can be very funny. The final track on ‘Andromeda’, ‘Pass the mask’, (Ha! How apt, I never realised at the time, but there was no PPE then) is about the anxiety of childbearing by someone who has never borne a child. The opening verse is priceless… “O my son, how do I begin to tell you all the things I have done? /and if I did would you be disappointed? /But you get used to living with disappointment/Look at me and your mum.”
So how does this new single compare? According to the PR the album establishes another, more whimsical side to Alex Rex, while 'What's Shouted in The Dark (The Dark Shouts Back)' is a study in homicidal love from the viewpoint of the killer, which fits nicely his sometimes bizarre outlook on life.
For me Alex Rex helps fill a massive void because this sort of smart, wordy guitar-led punky prog rock hasn’t been heard since the days of Jethro Tull’s ‘Aqualung’ or ‘Thick as a Brick’, or Carter USM’s ‘1992 – the Love Album’, or ‘Worry Bomb’ and with a dash of Tom Jones’ ‘Delilah’ thrown in for good measure . The lyrics come at you like an express train…
“…The collapsed star of her naval’ (sic)…”Voice like bells in Wells Cathedral”…”and me like a hostage strapped to a table”.
“…But time happens at you/In the tyranny of the mirror/in the silence at the centre of the mind/in the doggy bag of your liver/but how long must you hate yourself because you cannot not forgive her?”
“The groom swallows poison for his bride”…”then beckons her to bed on the guillotine”.
He even manages to mimic Nick Lowe and Hazel O’Connor in the same line, “I love the sound of breaking dreams”.
Then the track is played out by a lengthy guitar solo by frequent collaborator Rory Haye, while the short, snatched female/victim vocal of the title line may come courtesy of the incomparable Lavinia Blackwall, who has reunited with Neilson on the album for the first time since the demise of Trembling Bells.
I repeat an observation I made when I reviewed a live show he played in Manchester in early February last year, which I just realised is the last show I saw in this country. There is a growing consensus amongst critics that Neilson is fast becoming one of the leading writers in the UK, with some comparing him to the likes of Dylan, Cave, Cohen and Watts. Which sounds like the back four from a relegation-threatened League 2 team.
But this for this Premier League quality writer, lyricist and drummer and his dark materials, the only way is up.
*** We repeat the warning message about the video that it could trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy***
'What's Shouted In the Dark (The Dark Shouts Back)' is out now and ‘Paradise’ will follow on July 30th via Neolithic Recordings.

“Natural history is not a privilege, but a right — a fundamental capacity and need of all people . . . We need it to counter despair — there is durable beauty in this world.”
— from The Way of Natural History
Attention to nature is a key pathway to nurturing our humanity, and it’s more important than ever to connect with the natural world and the positive energy we can find there.
In this eclectic anthology, more than twenty scientists, nature writers, poets, Zen practitioners — and even one of the greatest guitarists of all time — attest to how paying attention to nature can be a healing antidote to the hectic and harrying pace of our lives.
Throughout this provocative and uplifting book, writers describe their various experiences in nature and portray how careful, and mindful,attention to the larger world around us brings rewarding and surprising discoveries. They call for a renewal of natural history and provide models for personal interactions with nature.
Contributors to The Way of Natural History highlight their individual ways of paying attention to nature and discuss how their experiences have enlivened and enhanced their worlds. The anthology is a rich array of writings that provide models for interacting with the natural world, and together, create a call for the importance of natural history as a discipline.
From The Way of Natural History:
“Among the attributes I’ve noticed in those who are attentive to nature are a greater sense of humility, affirmation, hope, and gratitude.” — Thomas Lowe Fleischner
“Learning the life ways of the creatures in my garden can help heighten my awareness and lessen my ignorance.” — Charles Goodrich
“How can we be fully alive if we don’t pause to notice — and to celebrate — the full extension of our being into time and the universe?” — Kathleen Dean Moore
Thomas Lowe Fleischner is a naturalist,conservation biologist, and teacher. The author of two books, Singing Stone: A Natural History of the Escalante Canyons and Desert Wetlands, and numerous articles, he has taught for more than two decades in the interdisciplinary environmental studies program at Prescott College in Arizona.

Place under the broiler until everything is charred. Roasting is a big deal in the Mexican cuisine.
You must toast the pepitas, but be very careful. You do not want to burn them, or you will need to start all over again.
Place all the ingredients in the blender. Blend until smooth. Then set aside until ready to use.
This is an entire chicken cut up into pieces. In Mexico, we eat all cuts of meat. There is no waste.
Heat oil in a deep stock pot, then add the Pipián Verde. Bring to a simmer.
Add the cooked chicken to the pot. Bring to a simmer. The chicken will be cooking for 10 minutes with the sauce.
Serve it with rice to soak up all the juices. I added calabacitas and corn on the side, but you can also add broccoli, green beans, or spinach to the plate.
