The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach will soon have a new leader.
Peter Kareiva, currently the director of the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at UCLA, will take over as the aquarium's president and CEO effective Aug. 1, officials have announced.
Kareiva will follow Jerry Schubel, who has overseen the Aquarium of the Pacific for nearly all of its 21-year history.
Schubel announced his plans to retire last year but said he would remain in his post until the aquarium's Board of Directors found a replacement.
Schubel said it was "a great pleasure" to announce Kareiva's appointment in a Wednesday, July 15, email to aquarium members.
Kareiva, for his part, said he was proud to take over for Schubel.
"As a scientist, I have researched the opportunities for marine aquaculture, the importance of marine habitats in protecting our coast from sea-level rise, and the value of the ocean to our economy," Kareiva said in a statement. "But it is my love of the ocean that brings me to the Aquarium of the Pacific.
"There is no better place to share the wonders of the marine world with a diverse community," he added, "and no better platform from which to engage the global community in saving our oceans."
Schubel, in his email, said he has worked personally with Kareiva over the years and feels "strongly he is an excellent choice.
"He has a wealth of experience in conservation, research, fundraising, and management," Schubel added, "that positions him to build upon all the qualities that have made the Aquarium the world-class institution it is today."
In addition to his role at UCLA, Kareiva is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a member of The National Academy of Sciences. Before joining UCLA, Kareiva served as the Chief Scientist and Vice President of The Nature Conservancy.
According to Kareiva's UCLA bio, his research "concerns the connection between humans and nature, and the varied ways people of different cultures value nature, as well as inequities in access to nature and decent environments."
He also "has just begun to do research on science communication, particularly with respect to climate science," his bio said.
In that respect, Kareiva's research aligns with the Aquarium of the Pacific's mission to highlight the impact that humans have on the natural world.
The aquarium's newest addition, Pacific Visions, opened last year with a bold message.
"Pacific Visions is a very non-traditional kind of expansion for an aquarium," Schubel said when the $53 million wing first opened. "It's not about bigger tanks for bigger animals. It's about the one animal that's putting all the other animals on this planet at risk: It's about us and our activities that are causing so much trouble."
In Kareiva, it seems the aquarium's board found a fitting successor to continue to spread that message.
"It has been a pleasure serving the Aquarium these past 18 years," Schubel said. "I am grateful to each of you for your support in creating an aquarium that is tackling the challenges of our planet by bringing people together."

Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds are targeting real estate investments to generate yields in the low interest-rate environment and own a liquid asset as withdrawals continue, according to investment management firm Invesco.
More funds were looking at real estate for its yield-generating qualities for two reasons, said Alexander Millar, Invesco's head of Emea sovereigns at yesterday's launch of the firm's annual Global Sovereign Asset Management Study in Dubai.
Low interest rates in many parts of the world mean that fixed-income products are not generating significant returns, and many sovereign funds have experienced their own reduction in liquidity as withdrawals have remained stable and the amount of new investment has been shrinking. In such a scenario, real estate investments are a more liquid form of income-generating asset than either private equity or infrastructure investments.
Mr Millar said that there is also growing interest in infrastructure investment, despite it taking sovereign funds much longer to invest in these – four years, on average.
"There's an awful lot of attractive characteristics to infrastructure investment – long term, illiquidity premium and long duration cash flows – everything a sovereign investor should be looking at," he said. " But I think what they've discovered is getting from those theoretical characteristics to harvesting them into your portfolio in the real world has been very difficult to do."
He said that this was due to a "lack of supply" of big infrastructure projects, and the weight of money chasing them meant that "a lot of these things have been bid up".
"Those that are out there have been quite expensive," he said.
The need for more investment in the US's underfunded infrastructure sector – and the noises from the Donald Trump administration indicating that it will be receptive to private investment – meant more funds see potential in the sector. Just last month, for instance, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund pumped US$20 billion into a new $40bn US infrastructure fund being managed by Blackstone.
For its report, Invesco interviewed 97 sovereign investors and central bank reserve managers representing $12tn worth of assets. A sample of 57 sovereign funds found that they achieved average returns of 4.1 per cent last year, against a target of 6.1 per cent.

Summer Peach Panzanella Salad
Lisa Kotler
(IC: instagram)
6 Servings
30 min
Peaches are one of my all-time favourite summer fruits. We have here a peach, tomato, red onion, avocado, basil Panzanella salad topped with a crumbly local goat cheese. The dressing combined extra virgin olive oil mixed with Italian mango white balsamic vinegar, a drizzle of pomegranate reduction and some honey. Salt and pepper to taste. This salad was an explosion of colour, flavour and utilized ingredients that are seasonal. It is a delicious salad for lunch or dinner but keep in mind, it does not store well. The tomatoes and peaches become watery and the avocado discolours. So, make sure to eat this one up completely after serving, which shouldn't be difficult because it's delicious!

Prowers Democrats Hold County Assembly this Saturday
Russ Baldwin | Mar 30, 2012 | Comments 0
Prowers County Democrats will hold their Assembly, March 31st, 2012, 2:00 – 4:00 pm, at the Cow Palace Inn, Lamar, Colorado. All registered Democrats are invited to attend. The Assembly agenda will include delegates, determined at the March 6th caucus; to vote on:
1) Nominations and ratification of the Democrat candidates for Prowers County Commissioner.
2) Election of delegates to represent Prowers County in the State Democratic Convention, Pueblo, April 14th, 2012.
3) Resolution in opposition to the NDAA.
Guest speakers at the Assembly will include candidates for: U.S. Congressional District 4 (CD4) Brandon Shaffer (current President of the Colorado Senate and challenger to U.S. Congressman Cory Gardner); Colorado Senate District 35 (SD35) Crestina Martinez (current Costilla County Commissioner) challenging republican candidate Alex Mugatu; Don Seufer democrat candidate for Prowers County Commissioner, District 1, challenging the eventual republican candidate incumbent Henry Schnabel or Mike Parker; and Jillane Hixson and Doug Thrall , democrat candidates for Prowers County Commissioner, District 3. Pending the "Assembly" and "Primary Election" results, Hixson or Thrall will challenge the republican candidate, either Roger Stagner or Wendy Buxton. The June 26th primary election will determine the republican &/or democratic candidate(s) who will proceed to the general election November 6th, 2012.
The above mentioned resolution condemns the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), originally enacted by President Bush and since renewed by President Obama. The NDAA provisions violate many important protections provided for in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights; for all criminal suspects, inclusive of US citizens. These provisions suspend basic rights and due process; allows for arrest without warrant, without trial or attorney, indefinite detention and torture of accused persons. The resolution is a statewide bi-partisan effort to obtaining all 64 County Commissioner Boards to denounce NDAA enforcement in Colorado and will be presented to the Colorado State Legislature, and U.S. Senators Udall and Bennett. The resolution was recently presented to the Prowers County Commissioners, March 13th, and is on the BOCC agenda, March 29th, for their signature.

Indiana Sen. Richard Young, D-Milltown, announced Oct. 18 his desire to allow Indiana farmers to have the opportunity to grow hemp.
Industrial hemp is a plant that can be processed into a variety of oils, wax, resin, rope, cloth, pulp, paper and fuel.
Since 1958, hemp has been illegal to grow under federal law for its close relation to marijuana.
"The federal government lumped industrial hemp with marijuana, outlawing the production of either," Young said in a press release. "In their shortsightedness, the federal government ignored the safety and economic potential of industrial hemp."
Young cited several reasons why hemp would be an excellent cash crop for Indiana farmers.
It is hardy, naturally resistant to pests and is ready for harvest in just 120 days, Young said in the release.
Young also said hemp production is more environmentally friendly than traditional textiles and plastics because it is 100 percent biodegradable.
"Ten states, including Kentucky and West Virginia, have recognized the agricultural, economic and environmental benefits of promoting the growth and marketing of industrial hemp," Young said in the release.
"I believe that hemp needs to be a controlled crop with the appropriate oversight of the Department of Agriculture to ensure that marijuana is not grown with the hemp."
Hemp's resemblance to marijuana is a major reason why law enforcement agencies are opposed to its legalization.
Kentucky passed a law legalizing hemp in April despite strong opposition from state police who were concerned that industrial hemp would provide cover for illegal marijuana growing operations.
On the opposite side of the issue, Indiana House Enrolled Act 1006 passed through the general assembly earlier this year.
The bill will toughen penalties for low-level cannabis offenders, according to an April hemp.org news release.
According to the release, Gov. Mike Pence approved of the new legislation.
Indiana State Police public information officer David Bursten said it is not the agency's place to comment on the legislature's actions.
"It is our function to enforce, to the best of our ability, the laws enacted by the elected legislators," Bursten said.
Because growing industrial hemp is still illegal under federal law, states must negotiate with the federal Drug Enforcement Agency to grow hemp.
Colorado plans on issuing licenses to hemp growers beginning next year.
Dan Drexler, the Indiana state chairman of the Libertarian Party, is supporting Sen. Young in his efforts to legalize hemp.
"There are no elected libertarians in Indiana's legislature, but we are publicly advocating for issues that the party supports," Drexler said.
Drexler said the party is taking Young's proposal one step further by advocating for the decriminalization of marijuana for adults.
"A Gallup poll found that 58 percent of Americans believe marijuana should be legalized," Drexler said. "It's something the legislature needs to take a closer look at."

Considering choosing an Electric Vehicle (EV) as your next car?
From minimal noise to zero emissions, EVs offer the ultimate driving experience.
With popularity and demand rising for Electric Vehicles, our knowledgeable team will cover off everything you need to know from; benefits and advantages of owning an EV over petrol and diesel cars, costs associated with ownership - from purchase to running costs, facts about the battery life and maintenance, charging information - from how and where to charge your EV to costs and lastly a few top tips from our Electric Vehicle specialists.
Every new EV sold in the UK comes with a cable, allowing you to charge your vehicle at home with a domestic 3-pin plug. Charging on the move is becoming easier every day - Simply purchase the required cable from your manufacture or after-market retailer and choose from the 12,700 charging locations and 35,000 connectors across the UK.
The amount of time it takes to charge an EV depends on the charger you use and the capabilities of the car. There are three main types of charging – rapid, fast and slow. You can reach 80% charge in as little as 30 minutes using a rapid charger. Fast charges typically fully charge an EV in 3-4 hours and a slow unit will usually require 8-12 hours.
There are many companies out there who provide home chargers. The price to pay varies depending on the company, the power of the charger and whether you are eligible for the OLEV government grant.
Gov grant scheme – The OLEV grant allows you to reduce the cost of your home charger by £350. Take a look at the checklist below to see if you are eligible for a £350 government grant.
Find out more information about the OLEV grant here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/government-grants-for-low-emission-vehicles
The cost of driving a new EV is approximately 18% more than an internal combustion engine vehicle. This is due to the manufacturing costs associated with the batteries and electric motor – a lot more new technology that goes into each EV. However, thanks to advancements in this technology already, EVs have reduced in price and a Bloomberg study even predicted they will cost the same as petrol cars by 2024. That's not a reason to hold off on leasing an EV, as the savings come after you've have one…
Electric cars offer a huge advantage over conventional petrol and diesel vehicles when it comes to running costs. An electric car motor has two or three moving parts in comparison to the hundreds of components that make up an internal combustion engine. This means no oil changes, timing belts, sparkplugs, clutch, or gearbox.
Because most electric cars can generate power under braking, they are also very gentle on brakes and tyres. Most electric cars require check-ups rather than any true servicing. The only items that really require replacing are the tyres, brakes, and the cabin air filter.

Tree Trimming West Covina, CA
Tree trimming involves improving the aesthetics of a tree. While trees can be left to grow as they wish in the wild, your landscape will need intervention to grow and maintain structural integrity. As a tree owner, you may know tree growth and practices that can help your trees maintain their beauty. However, maintaining the proper growth of trees requires extra care as improper handling can cause lasting damage. At Tree Service West Covina, we specialize in tree trimming and can help you develop a plan to keep your trees in good shape and health over the years. Some of the benefits of tree trimming include improving the appearance and health of your tree.
Most people look at trimming as a way to make a tree look better. However, the benefits of this practice far outweigh the aesthetics. In addition, trimming a tree has a long-term effect on the health of a plant. Therefore, you must make it standard practice for your trees throughout their lives. A tree that has not been pruned lacks structural integrity. Therefore, the branches and roots of the trees will grow in any direction. If you hire a company such as ours to help you with the pruning, you can control some aspects of their growth. A professional tree expert will see the dead or broken parts of a tree that risk the surroundings and trim them accordingly.
Additionally, practices such as trimming and pruning can help prevent the spread of fungi from one tree to the next. Counterbalancing Root Loss. When you grow a tree, there is a way you expect it to grow. However, nature has its ways too, which means they will not grow as you wish. To ensure that a tree grows as you envisioned it, you need the help of an arborist. Additionally, trimming will help you accommodate root loss. Increases Productivity and Allows Better Exposure to Sunlight. Minimizing branches on trees increases the nutrition that the tree gets from the soil. While this may not seem like a big deal, there are benefits.
For instance, you harvest bigger, tastier fruits than a farmer whose trees are not trimmed. Furthermore, trimming allows each tree in your field to receive maximum sunlight. Sunlight has a direct impact on photosynthesis. If the leaves of your tree are not exposed to the sunlight, photosynthesis is diminished. As professional arborists in West Covina, we understand the technique and that it matters. Below are some types of trimming we do; Crown cleaning, which involves trimming dead, diseased, or dying branches and improving the general tree appearance, Crown thinning, which involves exterminating weaker branches to open the tree's canopy. We also offer great tree pruning services if you are in need of that as well as tree trimming.
Crown reduction, which involves reducing the mass of large leaves and reducing the height of the plant, especially on younger trees, Crown lifting, which involves cutting lower tree branches to reduce the mass of bigger branches. This is best done on younger trees as it would leave big wounds on grown trees. Involves the removal of all branches, so you remain with a framework for secondary branches on the tree's stem. It begins when the plant is young and continues throughout the plant's life. You can count on Tree Service West Covina to deliver the best service. Our unmatched skills and dedication to improving your landscape mean you will have healthy trees all year long.

As tough times continue for the mainstream record industry, the independent music scene has a more vital role to play than ever in our country's cultural life. The inaugural Indie 50, therefore, couldn't be more welcome: presented by WeGotTickets, it is a list of 50 unsung heroes of British indie music today, from musicians to venue owners, radio DJs, festival organisers and more, as chosen by public nominations and an expert panel of judges. What the selection shows is also just what a broad and diverse church "indie" is these days, with so much more to it than the blokes-with-guitars stereotype with which it was once associated. All 50 will feature in an exhibition at the 71A Gallery in London, starting this week. Here a few of them discuss their vocation, and what it means to be "indie" in 2016:
1. Jeff Horton, Owner, 100 Club, London
Music, punk in particular, forged me as a person; it's made me who I am. I don't think I'd really want to be involved at any of the bigger venues, it just wouldn't suit me, I'd get too impatient with people, the luvvies and all that stuff.
Apparently David Bowie played here – after he died we found out he did three consecutive Saturdays in 1965 as Davy Jones and the Lower Third. I get caught out all the time: this Scandinavian girl knocked on the door about two years ago, she goes, "Can I come in? I've always wanted to come here, because my favourite band ever played here." I went, "Who's that?" and she went, "U2". I went, "No, U2 haven't played here," and she pulled out this book and bugger me, there's a photograph of them on the stage.
2. Caroline Simionescu-Marin, Editor, music website GRM Daily/A&R Manager, XL Recordings, London
I believe that everyone needs to build up their value independently. Unless you think you can really develop someone properly – which I don't think that most major labels can do – then don't touch these artists. Let them learn and grow and put their own shit on iTunes for a bit. When you know what you can sell, then your leverage is higher.
Independent to me is Skepta, JME, Stormzy, Giggs … I don't even imagine white dudes with guitars.
Independent for me is seeing Skepta sell out Brixton Academy and that being so sick that you can do that by yourself. Or seeing Stormzy's record go gold and him get in the charts for Christmas. What? You're 23, last year we were chilling and now look where he is.
3. Big Jeff, Ultimate Gig Goer, Bristol
The best thing about live music is the feeling of watching live art, isn't it? It's like going to a theatre; especially if you're down the front and you can get the whole interaction and spirit of it.
I've been to between five and seven gigs a week for the last 13 years. There are record labels being set up every other week in Bristol, and festivals every other weekend. It can get a bit too much; I've got my certain spots to stand at different venues. Sometimes when I get a bit too into it I find myself flying through my full-on disco moves. The other night my friend had to calm me down because I was throwing my elbows too much – I almost took her head off!
4. Kate Hewett, booker, The Harley & Tramlines festival, Sheffield
Ten per cent of Sheffield's population disappear in June because they're students. We started Tramlines as a reason for people to stay in the city. The Sheffield scene is small enough that everyone knows everyone and you know what works in what venues, so you can programme Tramlines with that in mind.
People are finding different ways to enjoy and discover music – the way that we listen to music has completely changed so, naturally, the way we discover artists has too. We don't have to depend on big, established venues in the way that we once did.
5. Nathan Clark, owner, Brudenell Social Club, Leeds
In a lot of venues that people work at they see it as a job – they'll move up the ladder and move on to something else. Here, there's me and my mum, and we've been here as long as bands have been put on. This is my home. It means more than just putting on a gig for the bands that come here. It's like the Leeds music community is based around here.
We do a lot of album and EP launches; we support the bands, and we've had a practice room here before. We work with people and we don't intrude. We respect ourselves as a venue; we've reinvested in PA and lights to make us a lot higher spec than a standard venue of this size.
6. Rachel Aggs, Band Member, Trash Kit/Shopping/Sacred Paws, London
I would never have started a band if the only thing I saw on my horizon was the mainstream music business. As a queer woman of colour, I don't feel represented in that world. I make weird music that would probably have not seen the light of day were it not for people going on MySpace, contacting us directly and offering us shows in tiny venues and people's houses. I want people to feel included, I want to make people dance, wake up. When people dance it's so cool, so rewarding.
7. Rupert Morrison, Owner, the Drift Record Store, Totnes
People are aware that what we sell annually is less than what Amazon will sell on one title. People might not necessarily buy from us because we can't compete with the price, but they certainly listen to what we're saying about artists.
It's quite disarming having my mum in the shop – she's a grandma and you wouldn't think you'd be able to talk to her about music but, in fact, grandma really digs OneOhTrix Point Never and Skepta.
Although we think of ourselves as curators and artisans, we're in a very monetised industry, with an ever-decreasing amount of money. Everybody's trying to get by and the last thing that's helpful is when someone starts being a dick about stuff. Try and be kind, be understanding and try and have fun.
8. Femi Adeyemi, Founder, NTS radio, London
Convincing people the legitimacy of setting up an online radio station is a big challenge – that it's not necessarily the future but that it's an alternative. Also, that you don't need to go to radio college to learn to be a host or a DJ. I think people respond well to people being themselves and playing the stuff they'd genuinely listen to rather than a prescribed playlist.

Definition of Stewardship
According to the 1992 U.S. Bishops' Pastoral Letter, Stewardship: A Disciple's Response, a steward is defined as a disciple of Jesus who "receives God's gifts gratefully, cultivates them responsibly, shares them lovingly in justice with others and returns them with increase to the Lord."
Stewardship is a way of life and is best understood within the context of conversion and evangelization. The disciple is motivated to share his/her time, talent and treasure with the Church and other worthy causes from a deep sense of gratitude and in a planned, proportionate and sacrificial manner.

At an exclusive event set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Bund, the stunning waterfront area of central Shanghai, on October 23, Hublot introduced the Big Bang Unico Golf in collaboration with company spokesperson and world number one golfer Dustin Johnson.
"Hublot stands for the art of fusion—the combination of materials that are precious with others that are not so precious, like gold combined with rubber. That's what Hublot has been known for. This concept we've extended to different categories of watches," explained Hublot marketing director Tardivel Philippe. "Today is historic for Hublot, to be launching its first golf watch—the Big Bang Unico Golf."
With the look and function of a chronograph, the extremely lightweight timepiece—weighing in at precisely 97.93 grams—is made of titanium and carbon fiber with two strap options: black rubber with white calf, resembling a golf glove, or black Velcro, both of which snap on and off.
The watch features a new "Unico" movement, created specifically for golf, which allows the wearer to record the number of strokes taken via a putter-shaped pusher at 2 o'clock. A pusher at 4 o'clock keeps track of the hole in play, and the counter at 6 o'clock displays the total number of strokes. The tee-shaped pusher at 8 o'clock resets the counter back to zero at the end of a round. A full skeleton mechanism reveals the inner workings of the watch.
"There's really nothing else like it—especially not on a high-end level."
"I love the way it looks," Johnson said of the Big Bang Unico Golf. "I like the way Hublot tied in golf throughout the whole watch. There's really nothing else like it—especially not on a high-end level."
The winner of the 2016 U.S. Open and the 2017 Genesis Open, which propelled him to world number one status, Johnson owns 11 Hublot timepieces and says he's a longtime fan of the brand. "For me, aesthetics matter most. I have to love the way it looks if I'm going to wear it. This one is my new favorite. It's really cool-looking, super light and super comfy."
Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe said of his brand's partnership with Johnson, "His influence and impact on the game inspired Hublot's new golf watch. Mechanically advanced, brilliantly functional, contemporary look and easy to use, it is a fusion of Hublot's philiosophy and DJ's signature—simple, intuitive and extremely effective."

We hit the road ready for an eventful few days away, we arrived at our hotel, the very swanky Novotel Darling Square, such a great place to stay and close to all of the MG action! After we checked in, we took a walk to Chinatown to check out Paddy's Markets; everyone was doing their last-minute costume shopping, but we managed to bag some goodies to take home with us. We headed back to our hotel to unpack our bags, get into our swimmers and check out the pool. It was lovely and relaxing, overlooking Darling Square, watching people while they played with their dogs in the open play area on this rainy kind of afternoon. We whiled the afternoon away and relaxed, ready for the party tomorrow…
The next morning, we got ready for the day and headed to a yummy breakfast. Today was a chilled day as we had a big night of fun and excitement ahead of us at the 2022 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. We ventured to the Chinese Garden of Friendship to spot some lizards and soak up the morning sunshine and drizzly rain. We watched the koi fish splash through the water and took in the sights of relaxing waterfalls and greenery. We lazed and relaxed by the pool before getting ready for our fun night ahead.
We were beyond excited as we got dressed up with our costumes and props. Sparkling with glitter, we made our way to the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) for the 44th annual festival of inclusion. We arrived early so we could get some awesome photos with some of the participants before the parade started and the photos did not disappoint! So many glamorous frocks, sequins and glitter all around. We were first in line awaiting entry; On our first stop, we went to say hello to our friends at Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) at the Quiet Room. Tt was so relaxing to sit for a while before the festivities, with some sensory toys away from the crowd. One of the awesome team members from Aspect gave us a sunflower lanyard; the sunflower represents hidden disabilities, people choose to wear the sunflower lanyard to discreetly indicate that they have an invisible disability and may need help, assistance or simply more time. All staff at the event were trained and aware of what the sunflower represents; it worked well especially at a large event like Mardi Gras – What a fantastic initiative!
Let's get this PARTY STARTED! We found our 3rd row seats, the best seats in the house, and the entertainment commenced. Loud and clear and full of sparkle in Mardi Gras spirit, the lead of the parade, the famous Dykes On Bikes, set the tone for a fabulous night ahead. The SCG was pumping and the atmosphere was out of this world!
The parade hosts of hundreds of floats, marchers showcasing the inclusion and diversity of the LGBTQIA+ community of people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual. Partygoers partied, danced and let their hair down and so did we Trusted Travellers. So much fun had by all, the highlight for us was getting to see The Wiggles perform Elephant with Vanessa Amorosi singing Absolutely Everybody a very close second. A lot of rainbow flags were flying high!
The fun was far from over…. this Mardi Gras was a very special one…
Our Trusted Traveller was excited to see her mum and step mum march in the Parade and we had the honour to make it happen. It was a very special moment seeing each other, caught on video, a moment they will cherish forever!
After a late night of fun and excitement, we had a very slow morning the next morning before finally venturing off to Taronga Zoo. We made our way down the hill of Taronga, keeping an eye out for lion cubs and elephant calves along the way. After seeing loads of animals, we rode the cable car back to the top followed by, of course, the souvenir shop. An adorable plush elephant named Elly joined the family that day.
What a fabulous weekend, we can't wait to see you at Mardi Gras next year!

In Sudan, interclassism and democratism are getting the revolt defeated
On Monday June 3, after having cut off the electricity in the centre of Khartoum, the capital, and after having blocked the internet, the Transitional Military Council (TMC), the military authority currently governing the country, had police and paramilitary commandos attack the sit-in that had been taking place for weeks in front of the armed forces' general headquarters, and remove the barricades that had been erected in some parts of the city. The commandos attacked hospitals harboring wounded people and went after medical staff, women were raped, etc. Soldiers intervened in the country's other cities as well: Nuhood, Atbara and Port Sudan, among others.
As we write these lines, the provisional death toll stands at 116 (including the bodies retrieved from the Nile), with several hundreds wounded, and an undisclosed number of political leaders and activists have been arrested or have gone missing.
* * *
The Sudanese protests had started at the beginning of last year against increases in the price of flour and bread, a consequence of the austerity measures arranged with the IMF in order to redress the country's balance sheet. With the South's secession, Sudan lost 75% of its oil production, which is its main export industry and source of foreign currency, while it needs to import a large part of its food. Although the resources' pillaging at the hands of the governing circles (who keep the embezzled billions safe in western banks) justifiably provokes the population's outrage, it only comes on the top of the consequences of the international capitalist crisis, which is the root cause of Sudan's economic issues.
With inflation already as high as 60%, it is December's fresh, drastic rises in the prices of basic goods (among which bread price's threefold increase) following the cut in subsidies decreed as per the IMF's recommendations that have sparked the unrest. The IMF's economists most certainly expected the regime's repressive apparatus to enforce successfully what can only be called starvation measures. Indeed, until then, a mighty military and police apparatus had been able to crush the first waves of protest and rebellion that Sudan had experienced since the June 1989 coup that brought Omar al-Bashir to power.
The civilian regime that was toppled then was going through an open crisis because of its inability to solve a conflict with the South that provoked in this region a famine that killed about 250,000 people, according to some NGOs' estimates. The new military regime, with the support of Islamist organizations, outlawed political parties, worker unions and other non-religious organizations, purged the armed forces, the police, and the civil service from all potential opponents, and imposed the Islamic law (Sharia). It built a complete repressive apparatus, with paramilitary forces and militias specialized in suppressing social movements and revolts, like in Darfur.
Yet these repressive forces proved unable to prevent the widespread discontent from finding its expression in massive protests; initiated in Atbara, a city with a rich working class struggle history, these protests spread to the whole country and quickly started making political demands, like al-Bashir's departure and his regime's fall.
On April 11, the military finally reconciled itself to deposing al-Bashir and to arresting some of his closest acquaintances (1).
After talks with the "Forces of Freedom and Change", also known as the "Alliance for Freedom and Change" (AFC), the military founded the Transitional Military Council. Formed in January, the AFC consists of several opposition forces: the "Sudanese Professionals Association" (SPA: clandestinely founded in October, 2016, as an organization for physicians, attorneys and other professions), the National Consensus Forces (NCF), of which the Sudanese Communist Party is a member, the National Umma Party (a fully bourgeois party that governed several times before al-Bashir's military regime), etc. The AFC's constitutive agreement is the "Declaration for Freedom and Change" (2); it makes two demands: al-Bashir's departure and the formation of a transitional government consisting of "qualified people based on merits of competency and good reputation, representing various Sudanese groups and receiving the consensus of the majority" that would govern for four years, "until a sound democratic structure is established, and elections held".
Nothing there that answers the needs of the deprived masses who rose up for their survival and cannot wait for four years. One should not be deceived by the Communist Party's presence: in spite of its name, this party is actually a nationalist organization that has always support the bourgeois order and the national State, even though it was itself hit by repression.
While, despite some TMC measures like the end of the state of emergency, the masses' distrust of the military drove them to perform a sit-in in front of the armed forces' general headquarters and to go on with the protests, negotiations were starting between the AFC and the TMC. On April 27, it was generally understood that a joint Council would replace the TMC in order to lead a three-year transition; yet as the military leaders wanted to preserve their control over this Council, the follow-up negotiations proved more difficult, and on May 20 they were suspended. The support from Egypt, the Emirates and Saudi Arabia (which together pledged a total of $3bn in various aids for the TMC) emboldened the military into making no significant concession. As it was trying to take advantage of the enduringly widespread religious convictions (chiefly in the countryside, most of the country's population still working in agriculture), it launched a media campaign against the AFC, accusing it of trying to repeal the Sharia.
The AFC tried to respond with a two-days "pacific" general strike on May 27 and 28 – an initiative from which the Umma Party dissociate itself. The SPA, which claims to have incorporated railway men' and workers' organizations, is the Alliance's wheeling flank; it constantly repeated its pacifist declarations, for the continuation of social peace and for the interclassist unity of all Sudanese. While making its call for the general strike, it devoted itself to emphasizing its non-subversive nature: the strike "only hampers the TMC by alerting it to the fact that it could be deemed powerless and utterly dysfunctional overnight", adding, "Unless it desperately and solely resorts to the use of arms and force thereby stripping itself of any legitimacy. […] Such a self-inflicting paradigm could easily be diffused with our peaceful antidote and our harmonious unity as attested to repetitively by our own practice and experience".
Yet as soon as the strike ended, the TMC responded by unleashing repression and the military leaders announced that the negotiations were over and that they would organize elections themselves.
Woe betides petty bourgeois with their democratic illusions! The SPA was reduced to desperate calls for the armed forces to protect the protesters (3) (!), while the Alliance launched a "escalation of the revolution" consisting chiefly in putting an end to the negotiations (already shunned by the military!) and asking big imperialist powers to put pressure on the TMC…
On June 8, after the repression that took place in the beginning of the week, the Organization of African Unity (currently presided over by Egypt) sent the Ethiopian prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, as a "mediator" between the military and its Alliance's opponents. Ahmed left after some nice speeches about democracy… but the repression went on, targeting even the very Alliance's leaders whom he had met with.
The UN Security Council tried to issue a resolution condemning the violence, but Russia and China opposed it. The US, fearing a new centre of disturbance, asked Saudi Arabia to make use of its influence on the TMC in order to calm things down.
Indeed, its position on the Red Sea and between Egypt and Ethiopia makes Sudan strategically important. It provokes rivalries among regional powers and global imperialism.
Once close to Iran, al-Bashir's regime had revived ties with Egypt and Saudi Arabia, to such an extent that it sent an expeditionary force to fight in Yemen's war. Today, according to France's official statement, Saudi Arabia "provides political and financial support to the Sudanese armed forces". Last year, the US have lifted their last remaining sanctions (against a regime they had accused of genocide in Darfur!) and opened a CIA centre in Khartoum. The European Union had made a deal with the regime in order to halt immigration (Sudan being a crossing point), thereby strengthening the militias and thus the regime's repressive nature. China too, as well as Turkey and Russia, are interested in Sudan's situation.
In short, Sudan is at the confluence of inter-capitalist conflicts. All these bourgeois States are and will keep trying to alter the course of events.
Proletarians in other countries must show an interest in these events as well; they must make the demonstration of their solidarity with Sudan's proletarians and impoverished masses, first by denouncing "their own" bourgeoisie's schemes, until they have the strength to express in the struggle against capitalism the true solidarity of an active class.
* * *
Gilbert Achcar, the "expert" on Middle-East for the Fourth International (ex-USFI), writes in an article (4) that the Sudanese movement is superior to the Algerian one because it has an "exceptional political leadership" – the Alliance, within which "the SPA is central" –, while such a leadership is lacking in Algeria.
Yet because of its essentially petty bourgeois social nature, and of its democratic, pacifist, interclassist orientations, this so-called exceptional political leadership can only get the movement defeated!
At the end of his text, Achcar quotes, to approve it, a Financial Times (the City's mouthpiece) article stating that the Sudanese movement reminds of Russia's situation in 1917, after the Czar's fall. It is no coincidence that our Trotskyist "forgot" about the party that, in 1917 Russia, fought the bourgeois democratic leadership: today's degenerated Trotskyism resolutely turned its back on classist positions and Marxist principles while espousing bourgeois democratism.
The Bolshevik party fought relentlessly for the proletariat to break with the interclassist coalition, to stop passively following bourgeois orientations, and to be the head of the struggle on a class basis – the only way for it to lead the exploited and oppressed masses, in cities and countryside, against the bourgeois power, instead of serving as petty bourgeois parties' auxiliary force.
Without a vanguard that rejects interclassism, fights the bourgeois democratic orientations and conquers the leading role in the proletarian struggle, in other words, without a firmly organized and politically sound communist revolutionary party, proletarians find themselves helpless in their struggle against the bourgeoisie, reduced to being used by other classes at best, to be felled in the face of the enemy class at worst.
The current events underline the pressing need for this internationalist, international, proletarian party. It will not form by itself, but will rather result for the most conscious proletarians' effort in search for a reliable compass in their struggle; this compass is the authentic communist program that our current has restored and defended against all deviations, and thank to which we work on forming this proletarian class's combat organ in the lack of which even the most pugnacious effort is vain.
Class solidarity with Sudanese proletarians and oppressed masses!
For the formation of the international revolutionary party of the proletarian class!

The events that took place since we published the above text have clearly confirmed our analysis of the bourgeois democratic opposition's nefarious role.
After the slaughters in the beginning of June, the SPA tried to respond with a pacific campaign for "civil disobedience" (it even mentioned blocking the country), with gatherings in mosques to honor the dead, etc. Yet the repression soon discouraged the attempts to gather and block the streets of Khartoum. After a few days, the SPA and other opposition forces called for the campaign's end and resumed negotiations with the military.
A few weeks later, as the negotiations were dragging on and people kept getting arrested, the opposition forces called for a two-week mobilization, starting with a big protest day on June 30 (the "Millions march") and concluding with a general strike on July 14, in order to put pressure on the military.
People attended the protest day en masse; hundreds of thousands across the country demonstrated despite the military's effort to prevent them through preventive arrests, social networks' blocking, and threats. The repression was brutal; from official sources, there has been 10 casualties and hundreds wounded in Khartoum, while soldiers were shooting protesters with live rounds in several cities, where no official toll has been published.
At the end of this first day, the SPA declared: "Sudanese showed today that they will not retreat until they have achieved civilian rule, as they consider this is the only way to achieve the goals of the revolution as outlined in the Declaration of Freedom and Change (…).Today the Sudanese people showed they are strong and courageous, and that they are capable of achieving all the revolution's goals. There is no-one who can defeat them. There is no weapon which will make them turn back from achieving all of their demands."
However, a few days later, the Alliance's opposition parties and groups called for the end of the mobilizations, as a preliminary agreement had been drafted with the military about a three-year period during which the country would be governed by a sovereign council including military representatives as well as civilians. According to the New York Times (July 5), this agreement was reached through discrete negotiations conducted in a rich Sudanese capitalist's home by diplomats from the US, the UK (former colonial power), Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, with the opposition's organizations.
This agreement was signed in a ceremony in Khartoum on August 17th in spite of new killings.
Contrary to what one could read in the press, this agreement was not met with euphoria in the streets of Khartoum, and it was rejected by the armed groups in Darfur and the South as a "revolution's betrayal": the Sudan Liberation Movement said that "the elites of Khartoum now are stealing the revolution" .
As reported by Reuters on July 13, the agreement provoked outrage in Burri, Khartoum's proletarian district, which was the heart of the mobilizations. Besides the fact that, contrary to population's will, the military preserves its firm grip on power (including those directly responsible for the slaughters, among which the Janjawid militias), the agreement's terms and conditions are excessively vague. None of them aims at providing some relief to the masses suffering from the crisis, and the agreement provides for the formation of a technocratic government that will most certainly be in charge of enforcing what the IMF and the previous Sudanese government had agreed on.
In the obvious endeavor of preserving its own legitimacy in the masses' eyes, the SPA eventually called for a day of "peaceful demonstrations" to honor the repression's victims on July 13, forty days after Khartoum's slaughter. Yet while the SPA was calling for a "commemoration" day, the thousands of protesters who have marched in Khartoum and other cities in Sudan have made, by keeping on demanding the military's departure, the demonstration of the masses' enduring combativeness and implicit distrust of the opposition.
The following days new massacres occurred: on July 29 soldiers fired on a youth rally in El Obeid over bread and fuel shortages, killing six people, including 4 school children; the following days at least 4 demonstrators were killed in Khartoum during large-scale demonstrations demanding justice for the killings in El Obeid.
* * *
The Sudanese Communist Party has refused to endorse the agreement: it has called for keeping pressure on the military and has criticized the "deep ambiguity" of the negotiation process. Yet it doesn't question the opposition's bourgeois democratic orientations: it is actually this party that feeds the "ambiguity" by trying to restrict the mobilization's aims to a mere democratization of the regime! The opposition has not "betrayed": in accordance with its class nature, it has remained in line with its bourgeois political orientations. It has shown that it fears an unrestrained movement of the proletarian masses more than the military's repression!
Whatever the terms and conditions that bourgeois democrats and military leaders have finally agree on, the situation of Sudanese proletarians and impoverished masses will not change. The solution cannot be found in a democratic "transition" or a civilian regime – which remains a bourgeois regime in which capitalism prevails –, but in toppling bourgeois domination, be it dictatorial or democratic, and establishing the dictatorship of the proletariat in order to get rid of capitalism alongside proletarians in other countries.
However, before reaching that goal, in order to reach it, the first step must be to break with interclassism, to break with the petty bourgeois democratic opposition: the proletariat's independence regarding all bourgeois orientations, so that it can organize itself as a class both in political and economic struggles, is absolutely necessary for the fight against the regime not to end up in a mere papering over its cracks, but rather in a real struggle against capitalism and the bourgeois State.

As Cyclone Idai's waters recede, South Africa's efforts to find and rescue the missing and bring aid to all those in need are intensifying.
Today, the South African government is set to hand over donations to assist victims in the neighbouring Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
The donations were made by South African citizens, companies and members of the Diplomatic Corps.
The donations include financial aid, clothes, water purifiers, non-perishable food items and blankets, the Department of International Relations and Cooperation said on Wednesday.
Minister Lindiwe Sisulu will facilitate the hand over where she will start at Beira in Mozambique and the Chimanimani District in eastern Zimbabwe.
Sisulu will be accompanied by members of the business community led by Patrice Motsepe, the founder and executive chairman of African Rainbow Minerals.
She will also meet rescue teams, including the South African National Defence Force, South African NGOs, United Nations Agencies and volunteers.
Using its air platforms, the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has also been hard at work engaging in multilateral efforts to provide lifesaving and sustenance supplies to areas cut off by the devastating cyclone.
The SANDF was critical to all agencies operating in the area in that it provided air-lifts to assist in most low-lying areas, including Beira in Mozambique, which saw entire villages submerged under water, with the death toll rising and many people unaccounted for.
Other international agencies have jumped in to help.
The first of three planes carrying relief items from the UN Refugee Agency landed early on Wednesday morning in the Mozambican capital, Maputo. The supplies – including tents, sleeping mats, mosquito nets, and solar lanterns – will be distributed to 30 000 people in Mozambique, as well as Malawi and Zimbabwe.
The World Health Organisation is providing supplies to treat diarrhoeal diseases and cholera, and helping to set up three cholera treatment centres. – SAnews.gov.za

Whereas the publish wasn't precisely heavy on specifics, plainly Fenty fragrance is certainly dropping imminently. Earlier within the week, Fenty Magnificence had shared a teaser of what we will now assume to be the shadowy silhouette of a fragrance flacon, on Instagram:
Rihanna has dabbled in perfume previously, by way of a licensing cope with Parlux — however establishing a fragrance line below her personal firm umbrella is an enormous step. Like Kim Kardashian West and Michelle Pfeiffer's current entrees into scent (by way of KKW Perfume and Henry Rose, respectively), this upends the historic development of celebrities serving because the face and title of a perfume, however having little oversight or involvement within the product improvement or enterprise facet of it. It is value noting that Black founders are woefully underrepresented within the mainstream fragrance world, so a brand new perfume firm coming from a Black lady with vital energy, attain and well-established strategies of distribution within the magnificence trade is main.
Whereas there isn't any details about what Fenty Parfum will odor like — and even clarification as as to if will probably be a full fragrance line below the Fenty Magnificence umbrella or just a one-off scent — Rihanna has a confirmed monitor file of shaking issues up within the magnificence trade. She's led the cost towards prioritizing range and illustration in shade vary and advertising and marketing, highlighting the significance of sunscreen for all pores and skin tones, inviting folks of all genders to take part in Fenty Magnificence and incorporating sustainability by way of refillable packaging. We would say it is a protected wager that Fenty Parfum might be simply as aware and impactful as its make-up and skin-care counterparts.
Representatives from Fenty Magnificence didn't instantly reply to Fashionista's request for remark, however we'll proceed to replace this publish as extra particulars turn out to be obtainable.
Replace, July 29, 9:03 a.m.: Per a number of promotional emails which have gone out from Fenty Magnificence, the forthcoming Fenty Eau de Parfum will debut on Aug. 10.

I need to make use of Sticky Notes app that acts like a traditional post-it notes (and not a program with that name but is like a normal windows program). However, I discovered all the sticky note programs are just sticky notes in look but not in use, as they don't stick.
I need a sticky note program that sticks to the front of the screen. If a window moves over the sticky notes the sticky note must not disappear behind it. If the sticky note does disappear then it's not a sticky note. It is a normal window.
Software I tried
- Windows 10's default sticky notes.
- Sticky notes (Classic)
- Evernote sticky notes
- Simple sticky notes
- Stickies
- Stickypad
- Others
I have downloaded and tested so many sticky programs and none of them stick. I am starting to think that lack of any is that 3M patented post-it notes functionality to force people to buy their post-it notes to stick on computer screens.
Googling "sticky notes don't stick" doesn't bring up anything useful
Is there any solution?
Only workaround I tried is to use WindowTop but the full version is paid and uses more CPU resources than my liking.

Finding Healing in Solo Travel
When Passport Health asked me to write about my travel journeys, I immediately said, "Yes". I didn't have to think twice. I loved the idea of talking about why I started to do more solo traveling after my life changing event. While this next paragraph may seem a little dark, I encourage you to read on. I share my tips for taking solo adventure.
I was 33 in 2007 when my husband of four years was diagnosed with adrenal cancer. About eight weeks after his first doctor's appointment he died. We didn't have any children together, so I was truly alone. He died in November a few weeks before Thanksgiving, and his birthday was in early December. I was anticipating a tsunami of loss with these two dates followed by the December holidays. I shared this with a dear friend. My friend sustained a personal loss as well, and I felt she understood my situation. She suggested that I "do something different" this December. She shared how following their family's own devastating loss, she and her husband took their children on a holiday.
I lived in Michigan, and the thought of being in a warmer climate for an extended weekend seemed very attractive. I booked a trip to Florida and made certain that my trip had all of the necessary creature comforts. I didn't want to rent a car, so I took a shuttle from the airport straight to the hotel.
Prior to being married I had traveled alone, but this trip was different. It was less than four weeks after the funeral, and I was feeling raw and vulnerable. I booked the trip online and when asked who my emergency contact was it gave me pause. I tried to skip that part; however, the website wouldn't allow me to continue. I quickly entered my uncle's contact information. I packed the essentials in my carry- on, tucked a snapshot of my husband in between the pages of a book, printed my boarding pass, and headed to the airport.
The first solo restaurant meal was difficult. Looking at the menu, I immediately thought of my husband. I noticed that they offered a dish of mussels prepared exactly how my husband loved. I started to question myself if this was a smart decision because now I was looking at the lobster, and remembering the time we were together in Maine eating lobster. However, these intense moments passed. The second and third meals were easier.
Since that first Florida trip, I've traveled solo on several occasions. I've literally taken planes, trains and an automobile to reach my destination. On multiple occasions, I've traveled by myself to northern Michigan, New York City, Boston, and Chicago.
While you may not have experienced a death of a loved one, you may have experienced a different type of loss: a job, a friendship, a relationship, or a divorce. These types of losses are often unexpected, unwanted, and unplanned, which makes it even more painful. Personally, my journey of healing began with that extended weekend to Florida. However, you don't have to travel a great distance to move closer to your own transformation. If you are planning solo travel for the first time, and you find the task daunting, here are some suggestions:
1. If you've never traveled alone, you may want to plan a day trip before scheduling a week long solo vacation. This will get your feet wet so to speak. For example, you will experience dining for one. Getting to know a place through your own lens is a different experience than sharing it with others, but don't be intimidated.
2. When you are setting your itinerary, be sure to have a back-up plan. Earlier this year I was in Boston when an extreme blizzard hit. The airport, museums, major highways, and some restaurants were closed. This isn't the first time I've found myself snowbound to my hotel, but I was disappointed that I wasn't able to meet my family. I ordered a few movies, instead of having a pity party. Also, plans can quickly change even on a sunny day, and if you have a few alternatives in mind, it is easier to adapt to a sudden schedule shift.
3. Don't expect a major transforming moment to occur because you may be setting yourself up for a large disappointment. While you may be saying "goodbye" to something or someone, don't set your expectations too high. It is often in the smaller, unplanned moments that give birth to something new. On the Florida trip I began meditation, and it is something that I still practice.
I am grateful for this opportunity to share with you a part of my journey post loss. I will be traveling this fall to Kenya. A part of the trip will be to visit organizations that service widows. The second part of the trip, I will be on a safari. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you when I return.

Algoma's reputation as the top port for sport fishing in the Great Lakes is well-earned. Nowhere else will you find such a broad, consistent King Salmon, Steelhead and Brown Trout fishery. The record books don't lie!
A Year Round Destination
March – April: Brown trout in shallow water attract small boat trollers and
pier and surf casters as soon as the ice is out of the marina, and all spring. Rainbow trout (steelhead) and suckers are running the Ahnapee River and other area tributaries for the spring spawning run. Smelt can sometimes be found by dip netters and seiners off the piers after a warm spring rain.
May – July: Anglers find bountiful Salmon and Trout, including the prized King Salmon.
July – August: Chinook, Steelhead and Brown Trout are in force! The Chinook Salmon have grown a little larger and by the end of August are getting ready to enter the streams to spawn.
September – October: Fall anglers can experience some great near shore fishing with large Chinooks and Brown Trout of the season. Kings and Steelhead begin to move closer and can be caught directly off-shore.
Winter: Ice fish for Trout (Rainbows and Browns) and Pike on the Ahnapee River As always, steer clear of open water and thin ice near discharges, feeder creek outlets, docks and strong current areas.

Update: With the release of the Episode 4 update, Phantasy Star Online 2 is now available in an additional 33 regions, including Australia and New Zealand. It's not limited to the Steam version—the Xbox One and Windows 10 versions are also officially available in the same territories now.
It's possible to link Steam and Xbox/Windows 10 accounts so that you can play across all three versions, but be sure to closely follow Sega's instructions for how to do so. If you don't, you can permanently prevent yourself from being able to link accounts.
Original post:
Phantasy Star Online 2 finally got an English release earlier this year on Xbox One and the Microsoft Store, but with the caveat that it wasn't officially available in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, or anywhere else outside North America. The game server itself isn't region-locked, and changing your store region isn't especially difficult, so people outside America who really want to play have options, but not officially supported ones.
That looks set to change with an upcoming Steam release planned for early August. It still won't be a truly global release, but a much wider pool of countries will be able to access the Phantasy Star Online 2 without the need for jumping through any hoops—New Zealand and Australia included.
According to SteamDB, the Steam version of Phantasy Star Online 2 will be available in the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, Great Britain, and the United States.
There's no word yet on any new server locations aside from the North American ones. This isn't ideal, but Phantasy Star Online 2 doesn't suffer too much from high latency. (And, let's be honest, most MMO players in Oceania are probably used to playing games without local servers.)
Phantasy Star Online 2 is a free-to-play science-fiction MMORPG that first came out in Japan in 2012. A Western release had been talked about for a long time, but it didn't actually happen until earlier this year—though limited to Xbox One and PC, without the PlayStation 4 and Switch versions available in Japan.
Sega also recently announced Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis, a major overhaul of the game that's due out next year for Xbox One, Xbox One X, and PC. New Genesis includes some significant changes to game systems, so it won't simply replace the current version of the game. Rather, Sega says that PSO2 and New Genesis will coexist, and "accounts that have been playing PSO2 will be able to hop between PSO2: NGS and PSO2."
At the moment, New Genesis has only been confirmed for North America (again), but it will hopefully come to Steam as well, and the additional territories with it.
The Steam version of Phantasy Star Online 2 is due for release on August 5, 2020, with a launch campaign that'll reward Steam players with things like Portal 2 weapon camos and Half-Life-themed costumes. The Steam version has cross-play support with other platforms, and current players will be able to log into their existing accounts when playing through Steam.
