The toughest system to spec out, naturally, was the cheapestand it took plenty of shopping. Even so, this system is stable and capable of some serious game playing, providing that you don't go too crazy with the monitor resolution and watch the detail settings. It's also chock full of quality parts.
Shopping List
|AMD Athlon II X3 440
|Video Card
|Gigabyte Radeon HD 5670 1GB
|Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2
|Kingston HyperX 2GB DDR2-1066
|Hard Drive
|Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB
|Optical Drive
|Lite-On iHAS424 DVD burner
|Case/Power Supply
|Rosewill TU-155 II 500
|Operating System
|Windows 7 Home Premium
We were particularly pleased with the Athlon II X3 440. This triple-core CPU is an excellent value; it's tough to find that level of performance for just $75 anywhere else. We paired the CPU with a Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2, a solid if no-frills motherboard that can address up to 8GB of DDR2 1066 memory. Sadly, thanks to high memory prices, we were forced to go with just one 2GB stick of Kingston HyperX for now; fortunately, that's a super-easy upgrade down the road when a few more bucks appear in the budget.
The toughest decision with this system involved the Radeon HD 5670 video card. The situation was a perfect example of what PC builders face time and time again: the need to define priorities and reevaluate prices and in-stock items at Newegg, Amazon, and other retail outlets right at the time of purchase. In short, the older Radeon HD 4850 is a faster card than the HD 5670, and it's available at about the same pricewhen it's in stock. The 4xxx series is on the way out; securing a card for this story proved impossible.
On the other hand, the HD 5670 beats the HD 4850 on features. The HD 5670 includes DirectX 11 and Eyefinity support, improved video streaming, and much lower power consumption; it doesn't even need an extra six-pin PCIe power cable. We honestly felt better with the HD 5670 in that department, given our case's stock PSU (more on that below). And while the HD 5670 can't touch the HD 4850 in outright performance, and is even a bit slower than the older HD 4770, it's plenty fast for modest gaming.
Other decisions were easier. Seagate's 7200-rpm, 500GB drive was easily fast enough for this PC. You might think 500GB sounds small in this multiple terabyte age, but it's still plenty for both gaming and music. As long as you don't intend to archive hundreds of hours of HD video, you'll be fine for quite some time. Note: We saw deals as low as $40 for 320GB drives while shopping, and prices seem to change even more with hard disks than other parts. Stick with a 7200-rpm model from a major brand like Seagate, Western Digital, or Hitachi and you'll be fine.
The Rosewill TU-155 II 500 is a perfectly serviceable case and power supply combination, and a real steal at $70 at Newegg. My test model looked attractive, with a clear side panel, a rear blue LED fan, a blue LED power button, and red hard drive status lights on both sides of the power button. The system was also pretty silent in operation. Despite the modest bling, it's a fairly old school case with sharp metal edges everywhere. We needed a screwdriver for everything save for removing the side panel. But that's OK at this price.

PS3 Rebuild Database & FAQ | PS3 Recovery Menu / Safe Mode | Video WalkthroughJanuary 28, 2011 | EdEN | 28 Comments
This does not delete game saves. Another question I get is how long does it take. Only about 2 – 5 minutes. For more FAQ's check the bottom of this post. This is a good thing to do from time to time to keep your PS3 running smoothly and happy. I did this for the first time in over 4 years, so long over due. Earlier this week I was trying to watch some videos off the internal hard drive and it was lagging and sound came in and out for some reason.
So I thought I'd try to rebuild the ps3 database to see if it would fix it. It was perfect after that. So if you have other slow down, a weird glitch or maybe your trophies take a while to sync this would be wise to do. Check out the FAQ section at the bottom if you have any questions.

MAG StatisticsJanuary 27, 2011 | premiersoupir | 7 Comments
Developer Zipper has released some macro-level player statistics for MAG (Massive Action Game), which just celebrated its first anniversary. The stats are rather fun: Players have put in over 5200 years' worth of time into playing the game; 100,000 people have put more than 100 hours each into the game; and nearly as many people have achieved "veteran status" or are qualified to do so (which means that they have hit the level cap). Also, Zipper has announced that they will post a new patch, v2.11, next month, which promises "new optimizations and refinements." Let's hope that they will have finally hammered out the last niggling freezing bugs in Domination and Acquisition. Read the entire list of Zipper's posted stats below.

NCI Drug Dictionary
The NCI Drug Dictionary contains technical definitions and synonyms for drugs/agents used to treat patients with cancer or conditions related to cancer. Each drug entry includes links to check for clinical trials listed in NCI's List of Cancer Clinical Trials.
- endothelin B receptor agonist SPI-1620
A highly selective peptide agonist of the endothelin-B receptor. Endothelin B receptor agonist SPI-1620 binds to endothelin-B receptors on endothelial cells in tumor blood vessels, which, unlike the angioarchitecture of normal blood vessels, are relatively devoid of smooth muscle. This agent may induce a transient, selective increase in blood flow to a tumor, which may result in an increase in the delivery of anticancer agents to the tumor and, so, an increase in anticancer agent efficacy. Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)
Code name: SPI-1620

BES'ers, I'm pretty freakin' excited about this one! Why? Because this is my first post for the fellas! Holla!
Recently, I have been receiving a few messages from the boys of BES asking if we only write for chicks.
My answer? Yes.
But I'm open to change. After all, boys need a lil' DIY TLC too.
So, to kick things off I'm gonna teach the gents out there how to make your own shaving cream that's healthier, and more gentle on your skin, because from what I hear, constantly shaving your face can leave it feeling a liiiittle irritated.
But I'm going to try and do this in a dude's voice. You know, so the boys feel more comfortable around these parts.
*clears throat and lowers voice* Okay, here we go…
Homemade Shaving Cream
Yo, before you do anything you're gonna have to hit up one of those natural food stores that sell all-natural foods and sh*t and grab yourself:
- Almond or Coconut oil – I really like this Coconut Oil
- Cocoa butter – try this one if you can't find it in stores
- Pure Honey
- Baking soda
- Liquid Castille soap – I've used this before
- Vitamin E
Then on your way home, stop by the beer store and grab a 6 pack, because you're dudes and that's what you do.
Once you get home, crack a beer, and search your kitchen for a double boiler (aka a pot inside another pot).
Then turn your stove onto medium heat and melt 3 tablespoons of your cocoa butter. Take off the heat as soon as it melts and stir in:
- 1/4 cup of Almond (or Coconut) oil
- 1/4 cup of pure Honey
- 2 teaspoons of Baking soda
- 1/4 cup liquid Castille soap
- 1 tablespoon of white cosmetic clay
Stir the crap out of it for several minutes and then pour into a glass jar to store.
Now, it's possible that as your mixture starts to cool it may start to separate, if it does just give it a shake. And that's that.
Quick, easy, and good for your skin. That's how we do manpering.
Now of course, I ain't just gonna leave the ladies hangin'!
Here's a quick trick to make your own foaming shave soap that's better for your skin than most store-bought shaving creams.
All you need is:
- 1/4 cup of natural Aloe Vera gel
- 1/4 cup liquid Castille soap
- 1 tablespoon of Olive oil
- 1/4 cup of warm water
- a few drops of Vitamin E extract
- a few drops of your favourite essential oil
- a large (clean) foaming soap bottle
Mix all your ingredients into your soap bottle and shake well until properly mixed. Then just pump, shave, and enjoy!
It's all about quick DIYs today ladies and gents, but I'm sure these aren't the only natural shaving cream recipes out there.
So if you have any DIY tips on how to make your own shaving cream please share them below!

What may come as a big blow to the ruling Congress in Manipur ahead of the next year's assembly polls, Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) vice-president and spokesperson Nongthombam Biren Singh has resigned from the party and membership of state assembly.
Biren is likely to join BJP. The powerful Congress leader had major difference of opinion with Chief Minister OIbobi Singh and he has been leading a dissident camp since last one and-a-half years. Following his pressure, a cabinet reshuffle was done and the state president was changed.
Dissatisfied with the chief minister's way of functioning, Biren has been vocal against the Congress government in the state. He felt that the Congress is not solving the major problems of the state. A senior BJP leader said, 'More than 10 congress MLAs are likely to join the Saffron party shortly.' This was the modus oprandi used by the BJP in Assam polls held in April this year where it handed over humiliating defeat to congress.
Biren said, 'People feel there is no governance now. It is a world record that the bodies of nine tribals have been in the morgue for more than a year. An agreement should have been ironed out and the bodies given a decent burial.'

Top Ways to Get a Qualified Attorney
For those who have been convicted of the crime and desire to appeal the judgment, you should consider getting a government criminal appeals attorney. Since this is usually the last chance you need to prove your purity, or at minimum lessen the consequence, you should think about a few factors before hiring this sort of professional. Think concerning the main traits a great attorney like this will have.
Many attorneys are hired depending on their experience as well as background, but much towards the client's dismay, they frequently let their subordinates manage cases instead. As the other legal professionals within their office may end up being perfectly capable, you usually feel the trouble of researching and selecting a federal criminal is attractive lawyer based on his / her own skills as well as qualifications. Therefore, being passed off onto another person is often insulting because you probably chose the lawyer for any specific reason that doesn't apply to their own subordinates. Try to find a lawyer who has the reputation for dealing with cases on his / her own rather than providing them with away to other people.
You are sure to possess many questions throughout the appeal process, which means you need an lawyer to answer all of them. Having one that appears to be mentally absent on your meetings, refusing to hear your concerns or even ignoring your queries, is not really comforting. Unless you happen to be through the appeal process several times before, you could be unsure and would like some clarification regarding certain points. Consequently, it is vital that you find someone who'll listen to a person and get all your questions answered.
Of course opt for the education and connection with the federal felony appeals lawyer that you're considering. Check out past cases that she or he has taken upon and won, ensuring to find a lawyer who has won cases much like yours. You also needs to ensure that the lawyer in question comes with an impressive education, including classes recently completed in order to stay up-to-date upon current regulations and changes towards the law.
These are just some of the most essential details to focus on when buying good federal felony appeals lawyer. Think about the answers to each one of these questions before investing in one attorney. You can typically discover all these details when you go to their website, phoning their office, and receiving a free initial discussion, which most attorneys offer to be able to get to understand them first whilst considering your situation.

As life expectancy is extended, the incidence and occurrence of Aortic Aneurysms are becoming increasingly common. Until recently, the treatment of aortic disease was primarily surgical, carrying a high mortality rate among the high risk elderly population. In Aortic Aneurysms: Pathogenesis and Treatment, Gilbert R. Upchurch Jr., Enrique Criado, and a panel of distinguished physicians comprehensively assess the rapidly evolving field of aneurysm treatment, focusing on aneurysms of the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta. The discussion of Aortic Aneurysms covers endovascular aortic repair as well as the recent significant improvements in stent graft design. This volume provides a concise and authoritative view of the current state of patient management, serving as a primer on clinical care and surgical procedures for aortic aneurysms. Comprehensive and up-to-date, Aortic Aneurysms: Pathogenesis and Treatment, offers Cardiologists, Vascular Surgeons, and Thoracic and Cardiac Surgeons a multidisciplinary approach to the management and treatment of patients with aortic disease.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Get the facts about Loyola Marymount University psychology prerequisites, and registering for elective seminars and discussion sections. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Then get a copy of the schedule of classes, so you can plan a workable weekly schedule for yourself. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Loyola Marymount University clinical psychology information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Loyola Marymount University.
As the admission's office must sift through many applications, your goal is to stand out in a good way. If you already have top grades and high SAT or ACT scores, you can still improve your application, given other factors such as talent in sports, the quality of your essay, and extracurricular activities. The admissions essay is gaining weight at selective colleges, but please be aware that on average, a typical college application only receives 25 minutes of reading time. Therefore, keep your application brief, and stick to the point when answering questions.
Admissions officers seek to learn how a given applicant thinks, what kind of person they are, and their level of intellectual promise. Many colleges are paying greater attention to a student's grades not only in core courses, but in AP classes and in honors courses as well. In fact, an ideal academic record is one of progressively better grades, in classes of increasing difficulty. It is optimal to try taking advanced placement (AP) courses if they are offered, and the worst thing you can do in terms of getting into college is to drop a hard course just because you fear getting a low grade. Beyond consideration for Loyola Marymount University psychology prerequisites, you may think about Central Methodist University GRE test dates for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Activist I
I am an artist and I am an activist and each complements the other. I've been an activist longer than I've been an artist. I have been an activist in the workplace, and on the streets. I have been a social commentator longer than I have been an artist.
My art is my voice calling for social change.
Activist art is more likely than not to be upsetting. I think a conscience artist must live with that aspect, but still must set out to query, to stimulate thought, and even upset the natural order of things.
An activist artist must stimulate through his work, but also his passion to do the right thing, the sincerity of his beliefs and the will to stand for what he believes in.
As an artist of conscience, I do not have any singular cause… the overarching thought being that once there is social, economic and political inequities, once there is discrimination, oppression, injustice, exploitation… I will try to lend my voice to it.
At the same time, I am not a one-dimensional artist. I have no problems with using beauty. As much as I want my art to be soul-searching, emotional, sometimes even disturbing, I also want it to be beautiful. It is often difficult to combine beauty with death, oppression, exploitation… but I do it in a balance way wherein one does not take away from the other.
My work is either 'Image-driven', or 'objective-driven'. Most of my work starts out 'objective driven', in that I start with a specific idea/objective and develop it from there. At other times, I start with an image, a visual idea, and subconsciously it develops into a protest piece.
The goal of my art is to draw attention to the inequities of modern society, and to stimulate thinking of how to make an improved world. If I manage to get even one person to think differently about the society they live in, I consider my efforts worthwhile.

(Presseportal openBroadcast) - Nowadays, travelling abroad becomes a fashion and I have decided to have a Saipan travel several days ago. These days, I am on annual vacation and my Saipan travel begins. In the course of packing, I also put my small and cute Fosjoas V6 single-wheeled electric scooter in the suitcase. In the meantime, it gets through security check smoothly. Now, I am riding Fosjoas V6 single-wheeled electric scooter and enjoying the beautiful scenery around the Saipan Island.
The size of Fosjoas V6 electric unicycle is smaller than that of one wheel of motorcycle. Meanwhile, it only weighs 9.8kg. Therefore, I can ride or stop anytime and anywhere. When I am a little tired, I will stop to lie on the sand beach and watch blue sky and sea. There are many aquatic sports. If I am interested in one of them, I will put my Fosjoas V6 electric unicycle under the tree. Travellers have different ways to enjoy the beauty of Saipan. Some people are willing to walk around the Saipan island so as to fully understand it, which is funny but makes people fatigued. Some people prefer to take the sightseeing bus, which is indeed relaxing but cant enjoy the island freely. The best way of island tour is riding Fosjoas V6 electric unicycle.
My Fosjoas V6 self-balancing scooter is powered by 130Wh lithium-ion battery that sustains the maximum range of 20km. When the remaining battery is less than 15%, the four LED lights will flicker. At this moment, I will find a coffee house on the island and charge it. About an hour later, the battery is full and I can start my tour again. More importantly, even if I am riding all day long, I am not tired at all, which benefits from its feature of easy riding, because all controls are finished by regulating body gravity. For example, leaning forward or backward realizes speeding up or slowing down.

Google and Huawei sued over bootlooping and battery draining issues on the Nexus 6P
The targets of the suit are Huawei and Google. The former is being named for issues with the hardware of the Nexus 6P, while Google is being taken to task for problems with the software. The suit claims that these issues start to show up both before and after the expiration of each unit's warranty period. It also notes that some times the warranty is not being honored, and those lucky enough to be covered by it have had to wait days or weeks to receive a refurbished unit. And these previously owned models often suffer from the very same problems that the returned units have.
The lawsuit seeks class action status and was filed in a Northern California federal court. The plaintiffs are calling out Huawei and Google for breach of warranty, fraud, unjust enrichment, and complain that various local and nationwide consumer laws were broken. Damages have not been specified at the moment. In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs argue that bootlooping turns the phone into a pricey paperweight. It also claims that neither Huawei or Google have made any public statements acknowledging the issues and, neither have taken responsibility for them. It also accuses Huawei and Google of refusing to repair damaged phones.
The court papers filed by the plaintiffs say that Huawei and Google knew, or should have known about the defects in advance, and failed to disclose them in order to keep selling the popular handset. Check out the papers by clicking on this link.

Google's been takin' more Ls than the Pacers as of late.

SMH, battery life is always the biggest issue for me with mobile devices, and I am very disappointed with my 6P's battery life. I know it can do better if they were to actually make an honest effort to properly implement Doze.

I have to agree Scott. When I first got the 6P, the battery life was fantastic. I was able to last the entire day and get home with maybe about 60% battery life. Lately though, I've been getting much lower than what I normally get. It's not anything that kills the battery, but I feel like it could be better.
6. Scott93274 (Posts: 5781; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
Absolutely man! If I bothered to look up past posts of mine, I know I was bragging about being at 50% + at the end of a full day.
22. epdm2be (Posts: 702; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
The 6P is almost 2 years old and it's obvious that batteries degrade over time. Sure, modern batteries should last at least 2 or perhaps even 3 years but alas. Hence why many of us want user-replaceable batteries. And no, powerbanks wont help as they can't be used as primary battery but (try) recharge the primary battery. But a lot of stupid users don't understand this. So to Google and all those greedy manufacturers: give back replaceable batteries, dammit!
7. kiko007 (Posts: 6453; Member since: 17 Feb 2016)
I don't think Doze is the problem. Over in the 6P reddit thread there's speculation that the batteries are degrading way quicker than they should. On the Brightside Google has been handing out refurbs to some of those affected. Maybe hit them up, can't hurt to try.
9. Scott93274 (Posts: 5781; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
Hmm... I might actually do that, if I can, I never bought the warranty, but battery issues might qualify as a product defect and not a repair... I'm not sure if that'll make a difference. I have had the device power down with 20% juice left (tough that was a one-time occurrence). I'm just a little apprehensive because some of the refurbished devices have been reported to have similar issues, and I would be truly upset if I got one that had a boot loop issue.
10. kiko007 (Posts: 6453; Member since: 17 Feb 2016)
Yeah... really tough spot to be in. Could always get the battery replaced or flash back to marshmallow. Beauty of having a Nexus is software flexibility.
11. Scott93274 (Posts: 5781; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
.... Ha ha ha, it could be that I'm enrolled in their beta testing program. Maybe I should opt out and see if that makes a difference. lol, I forgot all about that.

The battery on my phone started dying, barely 2 hours of SoT and would be a surprise if lasted through the lunch break.
Google refunded my money back, i promptly got myself a Z Play
18. Scott93274 (Posts: 5781; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
The Z Play looks like an awesome phone, though I still think I'm going to hold off on Motorola phones until I know what Lenovo's long-term plan is for the brand.
2. Scott93274 (Posts: 5781; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
I know not of this boot loop problem, but I will admit that I am sorely disappointed in the battery life of my Nexus 6P. Especially with alleged advancements with Doze, I never saw any increase in longevity, in fact, I have seen a steady decline and it's far too soon to expect the battery to go bad. I am a casual smartphone user, while I'm at work I hardly ever touch the thing, but it's not uncommon for it to be nearly dead towards the end of my 8-hour shift. I find this unacceptable.
5. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)
I have to say, Google and Huawei deserve to be called out for this. While I have had my 6P freeze up and reboot, I haven't had the Bootloop issue. However, I did have to force it to restart once after getting a security update. It just stayed stuck on the Google screen.
I love the 6P, one of the best phones ever. But there are far too many stories out there for it to be overlooked and Google and Huawei both should be punished for ignoring such a critical issue.
8. Scott93274 (Posts: 5781; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
Yeah, the phone is still awesome, it's holding up much better than my past phones, I could easily hold on to it for another year or two, but battery life needs to meet expectations. Google has made statements with the unveiling of all their new OS releases that they're working to improve battery life but I'm just not seeing it.
12. Marienx (Posts: 101; Member since: 27 Aug 2013)
This is bs.. My 6p battery is doing amazing.... and I've been using this phone since January last year. z
I'll tell you what the problem really is.... Ppl would have really good battery, but then they start downloading apps after apps and those apps are the reason the phone's battery life changes and for the worst. Stop downloading crappy ass games and watch your battery for every app you download.
13. Scott93274 (Posts: 5781; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
It's BS because your phone is unaffected? That's a genius statement s\, I suppose that because one Note 7 didn't blow up then there never really was an issue and that it was recalled for nothing.
23. epdm2be (Posts: 702; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
Not to mention the crappy Google apps and services themselves!!! I keep removing that bloody newer google-services as it breaks some if the (older) inbuilt apps and doesn't add anything significantly better. The same with that goddamned play-store. It is crazy that these 2 s**t apps can't be prohibited to upgrade themselves without root which in turn prohibit other apps drom working.

Fat guys and their first world problems.

The N6P still have one of the best speakers. Wish Google make another phone like this with front facing speakers .
17. Scott93274 (Posts: 5781; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
No joke, I do yard work while playing music on my phone with it in my pocket, the sound is still loud and clear.
26. AnnDroid (Posts: 90; Member since: 02 Aug 2011)
Love the speakers. I listen to podcasts while outdoors and can hear very well. I still love my 6P, but the battery doesn't hold up to my use. In comparison, my husband is using my old Note 2, which when I had it, I had to change out the battery twice a day. Under his use, he charges the phone every few days, if not longer.
My point is, I think people who purchased the 6P are generally power users and the phone is now 1.5 years old.
If only the next Pixel has a huge battery. I'd take a thicker phone for all day use.
27. MartyK (Posts: 998; Member since: 11 Apr 2012)
I know! Even when you're at home alone on a call! It really comes in handed.
I rooted mines (Thanks XDA) for way more volume

Only in America, how can you sue a company for a piece of hardware that slightly doesn't work properly. My washing machine makes a funny noise at full spin, it doesn't mean I'll take the manufacturer to court. BTW my 6P has had no issues whatsoever
29. HOAGSOBJ (Posts: 2; Member since: 21 Apr 2017)
Lol get out and stay away or leave, butter cup.
20. SleeperOne (Posts: 370; Member since: 25 Feb 2017)
What's the deal with the 6P folding like wet cardboard? Is that still a thing?
21. SheepdogElite (Posts: 6; Member since: 27 Jan 2012)
Nexus 6p is still my most disappointing device since my Verizon Galaxy nexus. I wanna buy a pixel, but not after this dumpster fire. Broken trim around the screen, a bevy of chips and scratches from life in a case, and 60% battery before I have to plug in our roll the dice. At least the software is up to date....
24. DellB (Posts: 51; Member since: 07 Jun 2015)
I got a Nexus 6p from Amazon (NGP stores on Amazon precisely) and had it shipped to me in Nigeria. After 8 months of use, it entered the dreaded bootloop.
I contacted NGP stores and they asked me to send it back for repair or replacement. Spent a small fortune sending it back to them in the US only for them to complain that they can't do anything because the camera visor is cracked (it cracked on its own after about 2 months of use), and that it had some wear on it. The wear they referred to was just little bumps and scratches on the frame as to be expected from a device that has been in use for 8 months. The screen is in pristine condition as I had a screen protector on it.
I explained that I returned the device because of the bootloop and not the cracked visor or the bumps. Those did not affect the proper functioning of the device. Yet, they refused to have it fixed. I feel cheated and manipulated as I spent a good fortune buying the phone. Coming from someone who have owned the Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and now Nexus 6p, I promised myself never to buy another Google or Huawei product ever again.

Don't think I have publicly added my own battery frustrations anywhere online, but I get the battery drain issue probably 2-3 times a week. And it always seems to happen when I get the low battery chirp at 15%, but instead the warning says 0% and it powers down.
Two nights ago I was right next to my charger and I plugged my phone in as soon as it happened. Guess what, battery icon in the top right corner all of a sudden showed 24% but the "Powering down..." persisted and I had to let it charge so it thought it had more battery then power it back on.
It's unbelievable they haven't found a solution. It's so easy to reproduce I'm sure they could debug it...
28. HOAGSOBJ (Posts: 2; Member since: 21 Apr 2017)
I'm thrilled I saw this!! This explains why I had to charge my phone 5 times a day and it took 4 hours to charge. Not my after market cables, heavy phone usage but the freaking phone!! I'm relieved. Now, I'm rocking my S8+ and haven't even used 50% of the battery throughout the entire day and it takes just an hour to charge, like normal. I wish I saw this earlier. I want a refund for my sam 6p!
30. billperrotta (Posts: 2; Member since: 21 Apr 2017)
5 times a day? 4 hours to charge? Shannanigans. Even when my phone loses power quickly it doesn't take more than two hours to charge. Most of the posts are total BS. Android is not for the mentally challenged.

Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson had fluid drained from his pitching elbow after Saturday's start against the Texas Rangers, but he described the procedure as being "painless, preventative and no big deal."
His start Saturday was pushed back two days because of elbow discomfort, but Wilson pitched well against the Rangers, giving up one run and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings, striking out four and walking three.
He threw his normal between-starts bullpen session at the Oakland Coliseum on Tuesday, and Wednesday he said he "felt better than I did going into my last start, so I feel like I'm on the upswing."
Wilson, who is 1-2 with a 3.12 earned-run average through four games, will start Friday night against the San Francisco Giants. He might have to undergo surgery to remove bone spurs in the elbow next winter, but he plans to pitch through any elbow issues this season.
Wilson will, however, cut back on his throwing regimen between starts. Instead of long-tossing the day after he pitches, he will not pick up a ball that day.
"Where I'm at right now, it makes more sense to throw off the mound more frequently than throwing long-toss more," Wilson said. "We'll see how it goes after the first couple of starts and go from there."

Euro-area government deficits – the difference between spending and revenues – were high before the introduction of the euro. By 1998, after several years of preparations for the euro, these deficits had been substantially reduced and indeed some countries had surpluses. After the launch of the euro in 1999, deficits were generally kept under control and within the 3% limit set by the SGP. However, the 2008 financial crisis has led to increasing deficits in some countries and falling surpluses in others – as governments support jobs and growth.

Hybrid Home Office / Small Business Direct Mail in the Age of BioTerrorCreate & Run Your Biz, Marketing & Publicity December 1st, 2001
Current news has small businesses in a quandary.
We're told that during slow economic times, marketing must not be sacrificed in the name of budget-tightening. Maintaining contact with clients is essential to sustaining the business.
On the other hand, with the spread of the bioterror agent anthrax, one of the most powerful marketing tools we have—direct and promotional mailings to prospective and current clients—is nearing taboo status. Companies have destroyed thousands of dollars worth of promotional mailing material that they surmised would not have been opened by recipients fearing contamination.
It hurts even more as companies near the holiday shopping and mailing season.
Alternatives to the U.S. Mail can keep a business's marketing efforts humming. Read on to discover how to be a good hybrid bulk / direct mailer…
Much of the information we intend to mail can be e-mailed. If entrepreneurs maintain current databases, they can effectively target prospects with powerful e-mailed messages. But make sure to stick to these rules of e-mail etiquette:
• No spam. Don't send unsolicited messages, and always offer to remove all recipients from future mailings if requested.
• Write a solid subject line. With e-mail usage on the rise, cut through the clutter with a subject line that notes the contents in six words or less. If people know your name, include it. Familiarity will lead them to open the message.
• Beware using attachments. Many business owners refuse to download and open attachments—even from people they know. Therefore, design messages that don't require an attachment. Instead, include a call to action for recipients to reply if they'd like to receive the attachment or contents via e-mail, fax or traditional mail.
Use e-mail and direct mail together. Send an e-mail to recipients asking for their permission to send to them a solicitation through the U.S. Mail. Another option is to use DHL, UPS or another parcel company. (FedEx is usually more expensive by comparison.) Because parcel companies aren't cheap, you may want to target your prospects a little tighter to cut costs.
Finally, no matter how you decide to send a parcel or letter, make sure it's plainly and neatly marked with your name, company name and full return address. The absence of this information—or the inclusion of messy or sloppy information—has become a warning sign that mail could be suspect and will probably be thrown away without opening.

ISTP Personality Type – Introverted Thinking with Extraverted Sensing
The ISTP personality type (as outlined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® Assessment, or MBTI® Test ) is the Introverted Thinking with Extraverted Sensing type. ISTP personality types are empirical, reasonable, systematic, and judicious, always searching for the most efficient way to deal with a present issue. A Myers Briggs test -assessed ISTP type finds hypothetical or indefinite ideas superfluous unless they are useful to something that the ISTP is working on. They use a huge bank of information stored in their minds to come to sensible conclusions, making them discerning and confident workers:
- At the necessary time, they fulfill the duty of swiftly finding the underlying reason for an issue and then, without hesitation, creating a solution to put into use
- Their technical minds allow information in their brain to be considered without bias or emotional restraints
- They promptly search for a patterned construction that a set of data will follow
- Diligently but quietly monitor the world around them, absorbing a wealth of information each day from their unbiased interpretations
- Actively curious about the inner-workings of things and systems, making them proficient at hands-on projects and duties
- Enjoy speaking on topics that they are well versed in, and have no problem educating others on topics that they are highly informed on
- Go-to employees for trouble-shooting because of their quick and thorough ability to turn around a problem
Straight-Forward Problem Solvers
MBTI test -assessed ISTP types are very straightforward thinkers, seeing things plainly as they are without associating a theoretical "what ifs" to the situation. The information that they have gathered from extensive time spent surveying their environment makes them very confident in their unbiased rationale. This confidence can occasionally translate to aggressiveness if their opinions or thoughts are challenged—they'll have no problem fully articulating their thoughts if another individual disputes their claims or opinions.
Myers-Briggs test ISTP personality types are outwardly agreeable, or so they seem simply because they do not verbally or outwardly oppose what is being spoken about. In reality, ISTP types internal processes often involve a critical analysis of current situations and what is being discussed.
Occasionally, ISTP personality types may find themselves unable to fully understand the world around them because they spend so much time searching the outside environment for concrete facts and data, not realizing that the world itself isn't necessarily concrete. Therefore, MBTI test -assessed ISTP types may also find conceptual or emotional concepts such as love, relationships, and feelings difficult to understand.
Too Much Observation, Not Enough Action
Contrastingly, another road bump that some ISTP types may find is that they can spend too much time observing the world around them, therefore making it almost impossible to spend an accurate amount of time and energy processing the information they gathered. This lack of execution can lead them into hasty decision-making or just poorly informed ideas and opinions.
A Myers-Briggs Test ISTP also falls into the danger of speeding through a project, seeking immediate gratification from the problems that they solve that they cannot see what this means in the long run. A similar problem comes about with their relationships with others—they often lack the ability to see the consequences of their actions and words. The pressure to achieve these quick solutions or to have all the answers can cause a complete shift to a purely emotional state. Because they are not used to dealing with emotions, great pressure can cause ISTP personality types to blow up in an emotional outburst of feelings that they do not understand and cannot control. Thankfully, by allowing subjectivity to influence their views just a smidge, by taking into consideration others around them, and by focusing on long-term goals and projects as well as immediate ones, ISTP types can use their incredible minds more efficiently.[All above information was taken from the following publication- (Isabel Briggs Myers, 1998, CPP Inc.)]
Career Opportunities Suited for the ISTP
An MBTI ISTP personality types unbiased and fact-oriented mind makes them exemplary employees in fields such as computers, engineering, production, and technology/electronics, where their ability to solve a predicament is needed on a daily basis. Examples of occupations that a Myers-Briggs test-assessed ISTP type may find success in include chemical plant operator, mechanic, computer hardware engineer, mechanical engineer, aircraft systems assembler, or electrical technician. An ISTP personality type's hands-on mentality also makes them exceptional in outdoorsy fields, such as working as a farmer, rancher, or forestry worker (Allen L. Hammer, 1993, CPP Inc.).
In order to best succeed in these fields, ISTP personality types must overcome their desire to look at things on a per-problem basis—by gazing out into the future at their long-term goals and dreams for their life, they can be sure that their success will continue on through the years. Similarly, thinking of their career in broader terms will help MBTI test-assessed ISTP types realize the successes to be had in the long run at their current place of employment, whether that be advancement, transferring, or learning more about the industry with each passing year.
Another extremely important skill for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test ISTP types is to network, network, and network! ISTP personality types are not natural people-lovers, choosing to hold on to their close friendships without searching for new opportunities to meet people. However, by establishing rapport with your coworkers and by allowing yourself to not seem so reserved, Myers-Briggs test -assessed ISTP types will develop their coworker's trust in their opinions and performances.
Lastly, ISTP personality types must try their best to put logic aside in certain situations in order to discover what is truly important to them, whether that is love, friendships, or something else to come in the future. By working towards all of these things, MBTI test -assessed ISTP types can enhance their career and their relationships with others.

Further Understanding ISTPs
ISTPs are extremely tolerant and more often than not prefer to sit back and observe and understand the world around them—that is, until a problem arises. When a problem comes up, they will do everything in their power to analyze the situation, gather any possibly relevant information, and solve the problem in an organized and efficient manner. To some, especially more extraverted personality types, they may seem almost computer-like in their rationality and logic. ISTPs are realists, valuing practicality, efficiency, and factual accuracy above almost everything else, even interpersonal relationships.
Being this strong of a "trouble shooter" is often a good thing, especially when working as one member of a larger team. However, MBTI ISTPs may at some times be so focused on a specific outcome or on overall efficiency, that they risk coming across as dismissive of others' ideas or contributions. As a result, they may need some extra support in meeting others' emotional needs and recognizing their various points of view with respect to specific situations. Nonetheless, with a little bit of understanding and support, ISTPs can overcome these difficulties and continue to be an even more important part of any organization.
ISTPs' Learning Style: Analytical and Pragmatic
ISTPs in general evaluate information and ideas logically and linearly. In every learning situation, from grade school classes to professional seminars and workshops, they benefit from understanding not only what content they need to master, but also why it is important. They constantly ask themselves, "how will this knowledge or skill help me achieve my goals?" As they go through the steps of learning, they also do their best to connect new information to their past knowledge, experience, and skills. The more connections they are able to make, the more invested they will be in the content, and the more concretely they will be able to apply it to new situations.
Because their learning process is also highly reflective, ISTPs tend to prefer to learn independently, and also benefit from resources that present information in a linear and logical fashion. They tend to devalue activities based on building interpersonal relationships, and instead focus almost exclusively on becoming adept at navigating several different applications of the information presented. On the other hand, ISTPs do enjoy the challenge and unpredictability of solving problems in groups, especially if they are still given the time to reflect on their own learning process.
Most ISTPs also enjoy learning from highly-qualified, knowledgeable instructors who present information succinctly and linearly. That said, they also need a learning environment in which their questions are welcome, and where they have the opportunity to actively participate in their own learning process. They need to be able to reflect on different processes, and determine what will be most applicable to their own learning style and what may not be as effective. In the same way, they tend to benefit from the opportunity to evaluate and critique their own work. They do err on the side of being overly critical, however, and often ignore overly general or overly positive feedback. Instead, they do appreciate specific feedback, that either clearly articulates why their work is strong and should be repeated, or what specific changes should be made to improve their output. In the end, they believe that they cannot change their behavior (or continue to maintain high-quality) unless they know exactly what needs to stay the same or what needs to be changed.
ISTPs' Leadership Style: Efficient but Flexible
ISTPs tend to be strong, efficient leaders, who manage to strike the delicate balance between making decisive choices and still allowing those decisions to adapt to new information that may become available as time goes on. In this way, they are comfortable being more flexible than many other personality types, and often allow a project's final trajectory to be influenced by emergent changes in a situation. While this flexibility may seem too carefree or even careless at times, ISTPs are highly aware of and sensitive to seemingly inconsequential changes. They are also able to synthesize and see the significance of large amounts of information very quickly. Thus, their decisions are always well-informed, even if it does not always seem like it is.
When interacting with other employees or team members, Myers-Briggs ISTPs tend to have an informal, easy-going style that inspires others to share ideas with them. They are also exceptional at mentoring and reading others, not only identifying individuals' strength and capabilities, but also drawing attention to their areas of growth and motivating them to continue to improve themselves. They are also often able to assign tasks based on others' comfort zones. While in some cases ISTPs can be accused of "playing favorites", especially since they tend to prefer co-workers or employees who think in a similar logical or linear fashion, this challenge can be overcome if they simply make an effort to communicate more equitably with others on their team, consciously spending time with every individual. In the same way, they should also make an effort to involve others in their decision making processes, even though they may instead prefer to work on problems in the same way that they learn—alone.
While ISTPs are already in many ways natural, flexible leaders, they can continue to develop their leadership skills and mindset by developing additional skills. For instance, while their flexibility is in many ways an asset, ISTPs should also make an effort to envision long-term solutions. Otherwise, they risk being perpetually caught in a loop where "today's solution may become tomorrow's problem." Along the same lines, try to avoid "quick fixes" by instead laying ground work. For instance, while it may be tempting to purchase a flashy new technology to solve one problem, be sure to also consider the cost of training staff members to use the technology to its highest potential. Otherwise, the solution solved by the technology just creates another problem – how to actually use the technology.
On a slightly different note, ISTPs can also benefit from making more of an effort to understand how others think and how they reach their own conclusions or solutions to a given problem. In this way, not only will they begin to build deeper relationships with others on their team and in their department, but they may also be able to gain a new perspective on a problem, and perhaps even a new solution. An additional benefit of better understanding how others on their team think is that these insights may also help ISTPs become better at delegating. Not only will assigning portions of larger assignments or tasks to others make them a stronger leader, but it will also have two other outcomes. First, it will make other team members even more invested in the organization overall, and may even help them improve in their own career trajectories as well. This means that ultimately, ISTPs can build their professional and personal network. Second, delegating day-to-day minutia can also free up time for ISTPs to focus on other areas, and even potentially get new projects, making them even more important for their organization.
ISTPs and Emotional Outlook: Confident but Detached
ISTP personality types are highly confident and waste little time or energy evaluating their internal state. Some may even go so far as to consider a focus on emotions little more than a distraction from the task at hand. They are driven primarily if not entirely by their work, jumping from task to task or event to event. They maintain a high, almost Zen-like sense of self-satisfaction when working under pressure, and may even experience a rush when they successfully arrive at a solution to a problem.
Just as they tend to lead with a fair degree of flexibility, ISTPs also need a degree of flexibility when they are working towards completing their own projects. When given free rein, they will find the most efficient solution given the constraints with which they are presented, but they often feel cramped or overly monitored if the instructions or procedures they are given are too constraining or strict. In other words, when working with ISTPs, try to give them an end goal and a handful of parameters within which to operate, then let them go off to come up with a solution, and return when they are complete.
As should be obvious, ISTPs are heavily introverted, and are not always the most emotional or social individuals. More extraverted personalities especially may perceive them as being insensitive as a result, even though they are generally lively, though perhaps not overly effusive or talkative. That said, ISTPs are heavily invested in logical argumentation and debate, and often focus on convincing others to their point of view by deploying an arsenal of information and detailed facts. However, even in these discussions, they are often more focused on basic principles or frameworks than specific outcomes per se.
Like any other personality type, Myers-Briggs ISTP personality types have their strengths and challenges, but they can continue to improve themselves by focusing on areas in need of development and can be of great value to a team and organization alike.

dtea-alumni.org was started in 2004 after N. Madhavan suggested my name to Srikant Chakravarthy, R. Ramachandran and T. V. Raghuraman of DTEA Alumni Trust. They provided me an EXCEL spread sheet with details of around 2400 ex DTEA students. We put this list online and made it into a directory, where ex students could add and update their information.
During the last few years I was keen to introduce social networking in the site. My goal was to put in place features so that ex DTEA students could keep in touch and update each other about what is happening in their lives. We could also discuss our achievements, successes, failures and problems.
We hope the new format of website helps us to do it.

Deb Broderson, VP of Engagement Marketing
While Millennials are not yet the majority of the workforce, they will be within the next six years. Perhaps your son, daughter, maybe even you yourself are among this golden group known as Generation Y. Times are changing just like they always have, and just as every new generation before has changed the rules of the game, Millennials are no exception. No generation before has had as much access, technological prowess, or the infrastructure to share their ideas as quickly or efficiently. The days of checking out library books and using land lines are over. This generation is used to speed, multi-tasking, and working by their own schedule. In other words, these are hard workers who want more control and more flexibility.
"Just as every new generation before has changed the rules of the game, Millennials are no exception."
In a recent Perks survey of about 130 individuals, we asked for perceptions regarding the idea of gamified elements in the workplace and learned that:
- Almost 65% of respondents welcomed the idea of gamification at work
- 6% were reluctant to participate
- 11% felt it was a deterrent to their work
- 19% were indifferent
It's a New Generation
The conclusion seems relatively unanimous. People want gamification- they want to be interactively involved in what they're doing. Additionally they want to know that the work they're doing has purpose and that there is a value attached to their efforts. With the new generation of multi-taskers on the rise, you as a business stakeholder have the key to a successful future, if only you decide to open the lock. It is up to you to foresee the changes ahead and plan for a gamified transition if you haven't already. By creating an online, gamified incentive program for your employees, you're not only rewarding them for a job well-done, you're beginning the cycle of employee recognition and appreciation in a way that resonates with them.
Adaptability is Key
Once employees know they are appreciated, they know they have real value in the company and this shows in their quality of work. Productivity rises, job satisfaction, engagement levels-you name it. Whether you are already using gamification in other programs or not-introducing concepts, levels, badges, and interactive challenges into your employee referral program is a one of the best decisions your company can make in preparation for the future workforce generation transition.

THIS sultry summer in Shanghai, a humble brand of popsicle is melting the hearts of consumers with its distinctive flavor, unpretentious packaging and low price.
It's called Dongbei Daban, which means "northeastern big brick" in Chinese. Translation woes aside, this unheralded paddle pop, wrapped in simple plastic, has become a hot seller at newspaper kiosks and grocery stalls across the city.
The ice-lolly is made by Red Ruby Ice Cream Co in the city of Daqing in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang. It sells for 3 yuan (48 US cents), compared with 5 yuan or more for high-profile ice cream brands. It comes in four flavors: strawberry, chocolate, milky and one called "plain," which seems to evoke happy childhood memories among older buyers who taste it.
On Weihai Road, one newspaper kiosk owner told Shanghai Daily that he's been selling an average 100 Big Bricks a day. The vendor pays a wholesale price of 2.50 yuan per popsicle. Sales representatives provided him with a small freezer on a six-year repayment plan costing the vendor 260 yuan a year. They also pay him a monthly 60 yuan for the electricity to keep the freezer running.
"People who work in nearby office buildings drop by during lunch break to buy the popsicles," the vendor said. "The freezer is rather small, so I have to replenish my supply every day or two."
How did such an unassuming product achieve such pop status? Many consumers who buy Big Bricks say they are tired of the fancy ice creams sold by multinational food companies like Unilever and Nestle and local dairy firms like Mengniu and Yili. It's fun to find something new. It's also fun to rediscover old flavors.
Big Bricks aren't showing up in market research, which tends to track sizeable family purchases of big brands in larger supermarkets. But they are showing up on the Internet, where netizens praise the popsicle as an enjoyable moment shared by friends.
Summer buzz
Word-of-mouth online is a powerful selling force.
"Chinese web users are massive content creators," said Vincent Digonnet, executive chairman for Asia-Pacific at e-commerce consultancy and media agency Razorfish, a unit of French advertising group Publicis Groupe.
"They are much more willing to share product information with friends on social networks, compared with their counterparts in the US and Europe."
According to his observation, as high as 30 percent of Chinese web users are active original content creators, and 50 percent are actively commenting or reposting other people's comments. In the West, only about 10 percent of Internet users often post original content.
This summer, the buzz is Big Brick.
"I tried one myself after I saw my friend post a picture of the popsicle on her 'Moments' on WeChat," said a young Shanghai office worker named Sherry Ye. "Nice taste. I liked it."
"Moments" is a function within Tencent's popular smartphone chatting application WeChat. It allows users to post photos, links and short comments — similar to Facebook's "Timeline."
"Products that strike a chord with mass consumers are bound to become popular," Xu Shang, director of the Shanghai Society Administration for Industry and Commerce, wrote in an online commentary.
"We usually think that the younger generation, born after 1985 or even after 1990, are not so fond of traditional stuff, but that's not the case, and the popularity of Big Brick is a good example," said Xiao Mingchao, an independent market observer who focuses on business trends and consumer goods.
He added: "Big Brick found its way into a niche group of consumers — those who are aged between 25 and 35, who don't always chase big brand names and who want something new and more personal. The special flavor and even the simple, somewhat old-fashioned style of packaging evoke nostalgia in people feeling lost in modern society."
Xiao said Big Brick's market is likely to stay rather limited because getting into national supermarket supply lines involves fees too high for such a regional brand. Still, the popsicle's success shows there is still room for smaller brands if they can manage to click with consumers.
The question remains: Can Big Brick survive after summer's heat turns to winter chill and netizens find some new phenomenon to whet their appetites?

WWE has posted an article about Awesome's passing. WWE is saddened by news of the passing of Mike Alfonso, better known to wrestling fans as Mike Awesome. He was 42. Mike Awesome's first major exposure came overseas, where he became one of the Japan's top stars. Awesome would eventually become a star and champion in America while wrestling for Extreme Championship Wrestling. Following his successful run in ECW, Awesome spent time working in WCW and later WWE before retiring to his native Tampa, Florida. While in ECW, Awesome was a two-time World Champion and Tag Team Champion. His matches with Masato Tanaka, including a show-stealer at One Night Stand in 2005 were among the most memorable in ECW history.
As noted earlier, friends coming to pick him up from his Tampa home discovered his body Saturday night at about 10:30 pm. He was found hanging, and is believed a suicide.

Leicester City vs Tottenham Hotspur | 26/12/14 | Pre-Match
The King Power Stadium will host a battle between two teams who's fans feel are underachieving so far when Leicester City take on Tottenham Hotspur in the traditional Boxing Day fixture. Foxes 'keeper Kasper Schmeichel will miss the match; still recovering from a broken foot. Spurs will hope the injury that forced Ryan Mason off against Burnley isn't serious enough to keep him out of the squad.
The City 4-5-1 formation that looked so encouraging against Manchester City will likely be persisted with despite a poor performance in the Blues' most recent outing – a loss to in-form West Ham. Leicester fans will be waiting to see who makes up their back four, with ever-mounting criticism of Paul Konchesky causing some to call for a return to left-back for Ghanaian international Jeffrey Schlupp. Up front, top scorer Leonardo Ulloa could be recalled in an effort to increase the side's goal threat. Jamie Vardy has created chances with his pace but has looked isolated and lacks the physical prowess to bring other players into the game regularly.
The Opposition:
Mauricio Pochettino's team go into the game on good form. Thirteen points from their last six games have seen them climb to seventh in the table and they'll be targeting another three points in this fixture. They have earned a reputation for scoring late winners away from home but will, in truth, expect to convincingly beat a horrendously out of form Leicester team.
Spurs may field an unchanged line-up from their win against Burnley, with injury perhaps forcing the only change.
Predicted Side:
Walker – Fazio – Vertonghen – Davies
Bentaleb – Stambouli
Lamela – Eriksen – Chadli
The Dangerman:
Former Foxes loanee Harry Kane has been in destructive form recently, seeing him score 13 goals in all competitions already this season. However, I still feel Tottenham's most dangerous player is midfielder Christian Eriksen. He has looked inspired all season and has picked up six goals and an assist while maintaining an 83.5% pass success in the Premier League. He has the ability to create a chance from nothing with his quick feet and is extremely effective from dead ball situations. Leicester should look to close down the Dane and prevent him from finding the space he needs to control the game.
How to beat them:
While they are dangerous offensively, most of Spurs' fans would agree they are far from solid at the back. At home, Leicester should look to attack and try to take the game to them. Matching their five in midfield will be seen as vital or the quality the opposition have in the middle of the park could overrun a Leicester side lacking in confidence. Putting constant pressure on a shaky defence may lead to mistakes and chances, but it's imperative that whichever forwards start put away the opportunities presented.
Final Prediction:
Unfortunately, I cannot see how Leicester will win this one. I expect a fairly high scoring match with the visitors eventually coming out on top. Spurs do not know when they are beaten and will inevitably grind Leicester down, who's growing lack of confidence could see them sit deep and invite pressure they cannot take at points in the game.
Leicester 1 – 3 Tottenham Hotspur
Leonardo Ulloa – Harry Kane (2), Christian Eriksen

Heres my tiny project, by the way i create it inside the examples that defold give us so probably if you use only these archives font and texture for gui wont work but that easy to solve.
infiltrado.zip (1.4 MB)
my main problem here is i just need to made a simple menu, when i hit the play button change the scene to the next and when i click the pause button in the next scene just take me back to the first scene i know is a simple taks but i have like a month doing this i cant make this thing work why?
Why dont you send the whole project if you are almost doing it. I gave up trying to recreate the project due to no mentioning of paths, fonts needed etc... Not sure which Defold examples project you are talking about.
Have you got any input bindings set up in game.input_binding? If not, add something to MOUSE_BUTTON_1 and try running again.
Secondly, are you getting any error messages in the console?
branch_infiltrado.zip (1.6 MB)
ok, you'r right here is a full working project
There are a couple of problems I noticed:
I have attached the 3 files I modified to get it working. Hope it helps!
infiltrado_bugfixes.zip (882 Bytes)
but you try to build and run it to see is working?
Yes, it worked here with those small fixes.
it isn't working for me, i keep seeing the same menu play button and doesnt do anything by the way i already made the changes you send me but still nothing i am too noob or what? i just replace the code nothing else
We were all noobs once!
Are there any error messages appearing in the console? That's the first place to look for clues when things don't work.
thats the thing there 0 errors everything works "fine"
What I typically do in this kind of situation is to add a bunch of print() statements to my code to see if it's running. Add a print("hello") or some such to init() and on_input() in your gui script file. You should see the print from the init() function and if you have set up the input correctly you should also see repeated calls to on_input() when you move the mouse, click etc.
Once you have done this initial sanity check you need to start digging deeper: Do you actually evaluate the clicks correctly and does the appropriate code run when you click on the buttons of your menu?
i did it.... AT LAST!!! 2 weeks trying to this stupid proxy thing i really appreciate your help and time

The wedding date is set, and life is magical for Doyle Flanagan and Cady Delafield. Then, honor bound to repay an old debt, Doyle agrees to help an old friend find her sister. As he searches for the girl, painful memories surface, stunning Cady when she discovers facts about Doyle's hidden past.
Now mired in tragedy, can they overcome the turmoil with a fateful decision that changes their future forever?
Series Finale
Young girls are being kidnapped into a brothel to service Chicago's elite. When someone from Doyle Flanagan's past requests his assistance, he becomes a reluctant detective into the seedy underworld of human trafficking, brothels, and cover-ups. When Cady's sister becomes a victim, time is running out to solve the crime. Is it revenge against Doyle or happenstance? Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is, by far, my favorite out of the series. It truly stands on its own and would not require any additional reading.
"Why do you ask?" Jack rested his snifter on his thigh and studied Doyle. "Do you know something?"
Doyle drew back, aghast. "I should hope not. Murder has poked its bony fingers too close to home for my comfort in the past. I want no more of it."
"But?" Cady prompted. She recognized the look, his clever mind parsing questions, seeking answers. "What is it?"
"Sophie Newberg, a friend of Millicent, came to me this afternoon. Her seventeen-year-old sister, Sarah, didn't come home from school on Monday."
"How dreadful." Grace reached for the locket at her throat, a gesture used when she was uncertain or upset.
"Why come to you?" Cady knew a spurt of jealousy followed by a swell of protectiveness. She worried Doyle might be drawn into a personal matter better left to Sophie's parents. And Sophie was hardly one he could call friend, or was she?
"She asked for my help."
"Find her sister, you mean?" Rather presumptuous, she concluded with a rise in anger.
"I don't recall a report of any missing girl this week. If we had, the police would have investigated. Why didn't she contact us?"
"Sophie's father is Hugh Jenkins." Doyle swirled the dark amber liquid in the glass.
"Ah…" Jack gave a knowing nod. "A big wheel in business. He earned his first million running hogs through the stockyards."
"The very same," Doyle confirmed. "Sees himself as one of the top tier families in the city."
"Doesn't he care about her?" Cady asked, appalled.
"Too good to rub shoulders with police," Jack concluded.
"You mean too snobby." There were people with wealth and power who believed themselves above the law.
"How very sad." One could always count on Grace for compassion. "The worry must be agonizing."
Doyle flicked his thumb against the curve of his glass. "The parents believe she ran away to get married."
"Did she?" Cady asked.
"No one knows as the fellow can't be located."
"Did she leave a note?" Cady tapped her bottom lip recalling her own mother had eloped, and left behind the requisite note for the parents to find.
Doyle shook his head.
"How odd." She faced Jack. "This victim, did she have a pocket book with her, or anything of a personal nature?"
Jack set the snifter aside. "I'm sorry. Police business."
Cady opened her mouth, about to probe further. Doyle cut her off.
"It's a most distressing mystery, ladies, but I'm afraid it grows late. I must get you home."
Like a child cut short in play, disappointment jabbed at her. Furthermore, Doyle had yet to say whether he'd agreed to help the woman.
"I'll have the carriage brought around." He set his glass on the small table near the sofa. "Can I give you a lift home, Jack?"
Jack's glass joined Doyle's on the table. "Much obliged."
Moments later, Jack and Grace stood in the glow of lamplight murmuring near the carriage parked at the curb. Cady stood alongside Doyle. Neither had ventured beyond the front door.
"Doyle, are you going to help Sophie Newberg?"
"Just a few inquiries, is all."
"Do you think it's possible this young, unidentified girl Jack mentioned is her sister?"
Doyle breathed deeply. "It crossed my mind."
"What are you going to do about it?"
"Nothing I look forward to. Tomorrow morning I'll make a visit to the police morgue."
"Then you know her?"
"I met her once." Squinting, he glanced up at the starry sky. "She must have been twelve at the most. I suspect she looks different now. There may be enough similarity for an identification one way or the other."
"I'll join you."
He stiffened and she might just as well have said she intended to swim across the ocean.
"No, Cady." His tone was obstinate. "Because of me, you've been through enough. I don't want you witnessing any more…"
"Dead people?" she inserted into the pause.
Jaw clamped, his nostrils flared. "Dead people and all their sordid trash."
"I won't go into the morgue. I'll wait in the corridor." This may have been self-serving. Having been to the police morgue once before, she didn't wish to see another corpse.
"No." He shook his head, adamant. "Do not get involved."
"Involved? Have you any idea what you're saying? This is bound to affect you, yet you prefer I not be there as support? Doyle, I care what happens to you."
He skimmed her cheek with a finger. "Of course you do. It's your nature to want to help others."
"Stop it, Doyle." Anger had her clutched by the throat. "Don't trivialize this." Immediately, she regretted her show of temper. "I love you. We're about to be married. As your wife, I want to be a part of your life. Whatever happens to you, good or bad, I intend to be there. Sharing is what couples do. Do you agree?"
He stepped so close the heat of him radiated through her clothes. Mouth close at her ear, he whispered. "I'll come for you at 9:00."
A weight lifted from her shoulders. "Thank you."
"But be prepared to wait outside the morgue. No sense in you looking at the corpse of a stranger."
It seemed as though she'd won a prize, or made a step in the right direction. It was an odd notion. Nevertheless, she knew a sense of achievement. She squeezed his arm, amazed as always by the strength and solid feel of his muscle.
"Thank you for inviting Grace tonight. It's good to see her away from Ophelia's house. From the amount of laughter, I'd say she had a wonderful time."
"And did you, my dear?"
"I always have a wonderful time with you, and that's the truth."
His arms enveloped her, and she snuggled in the warmth and intimacy of his cocooning embrace. If she were blessed tonight, she would dream of him. Yet in the back of her head, the dead girl nagged.
