Letters to the Editor
'Star Trek,' Apollo program, biofuels, lucky dog
'Star Trek' took him to the future
Fifty years ago today, on Sept. 8, 1966, on Channel 3, I heard, for the very first time, "These are the voyages of the Star Ship Enterprise." Yes, folks, half a century has passed since "Star Trek" premiered. I was one week past my ninth birthday, and thought I had found the greatest thing ever.
It was the future, with aliens, computers (can you just imagine talking to a computer, Siri?), spaceships and teleportation. Immediately, I was an avid fan.
I also remember crying myself to sleep on the night of June 3, 1969, when the last episode aired. This great show was over?! I would never, ever get to see Mr. Spock, Capt. Kirk and Bones again? Say it ain't so.
It wasn't. In the 50 years since that first episode, Star Trek has turned out to be my near lifelong companion. "Star Trek," in one form or another, has 726 episodes across the 30 seasons of TV, 12 major movies.
I now own several computers, speak to one regularly, drive an electric car and know there are other planets out there. Thank you, Gene Roddenberry, it's been a wonderful 50 years.
Stephen R. Stapleton,
Space program's lasting friendships
Re "Black math whizzes were hidden during space race" (Page 4B, Sept. 6): It seems the bonds of friendship created while working in the space program have endured for decades. Like Christine Darden and Katherine Johnson, the former Douglas/NASA employees involved in the Apollo program at the Douglas Missile Test Site in Rancho Cordova have maintained their friendships over the decades.
Since 1970, the Douglas/NASA retirees have met for their annual picnic in June. A 1960s Douglas Aircraft sign greets the group. Ages vary with the oldest retiree ready to turn 100 next month. While they talk about families and other subjects, conversations will turn to the Apollo days as if it were yesterday. Memorabilia and pictures line the table. Pride in a job well done is evident, coupled with a humbled and honored demeanor to have been part of the Apollo program.

No agreement on good of ethanol
Re "Biofuels present solution to harmful airborne chemicals" (Viewpoints, Sept. 7): Studies and analysis on the life cycle impacts and benefits of using ethanol as a motor-vehicle fuel have been conducted since the 1970s. Environmental organizations and research institutions continue to assess the overall value of ethanol as an alternative fuel.
David Vander Griend cites the positive characteristics of producing and using ethanol compared to gasoline. Nevertheless, the claimed environmental benefits of ethanol when compared to gasoline have not been universally agreed upon because of changing technologies in automotive emission control, production of the primary feedstock for ethanol, corn, and production of hydrocarbons used to produce gasoline.
Because of politics, the U.S. maintains a 45-cent per gallon ethanol subsidy, providing producers more than $50 billion in 2015. While the author serves the Urban Air Initiative, he is also the CEO of ICM Inc., a builder of ethanol production facilities.

That Melo is one lucky dog
Re "Blind and deaf cocker spaniel finds happy home in Elk Grove" (Local, Sept 2): Amid all the articles concerning political turmoil, senseless killings, disrespect for the flag in the NFL, etc. the story about little Melo finding a new home made my day!
Ever since reading about his plight with his original owner and his disabilities, I have been hoping to read that he had been adopted. God bless Sandy Wellington and Nelson Kempsky for opening their hearts and their home for that sweet little boy. Looks like Melo hit the jackpot.

Part-time legislature needed
Re "789 bills make it to Brown. Which ones will he sign?" (Insight, Sept. 7): It is difficult to understand the need to rush 789 new bills with associated additional taxes and pork to the governor. The tail is wagging the dog. It's time for a part-time, citizen legislature like other states.

Nigeria has saved over $600 million (about N216billion) from stoppage of rice importation through its domestic mass production under the Anchor Borrowers' Programme (ABP), the Bank of Agriculture (BoA), has said.
The figure represents a fraction of a staggering $22billion (N7.92trillion) spent on importation of foods into the country yearly before the advent of the President Muhammadu Buhari's administration.
Its Executive Director, Risk Management and Finance, Dr Gabriel Akenzua disclosed this yesterday when he led a delegation of top officials of the bank on a courtesy visit to Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, in his office, in Ibadan.
He said it was worthy of commendation that the country had committed itself to diversifying from oil economy, with emphasis on revitalisation of agriculture.
He said he had embarked on advocacy visit around the country to enlist the support and involvement of state governments in the ABP, which, he said, had freed the country from reliance on importation of rice.
Akenzua said: "We enjoin Oyo State to participate in the ABP, as we have rejigged the programme to expand the scope of beneficiaries. The pilot scheme was so successful that $600million was saved from rice importation due to massive rice production in the country.
"One or two rice millers in Thailand have closed down because Nigeria, which has always been their major importer, has stopped importing their rice.
"We used to spend $22billion importing food into Nigeria and with our consciousness that every square meter in the country is arable land, we felt that it was not sustainable. Of course, the crash in crude oil price has forced us back to agriculture."
The ED said the state could choose a particular crop it wished to produce under the programme, with a promise to either co-fund or completely fund the production of such crop.
Responding, Ajimobi commended the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, for what he called the positive changes he had brought into the agriculture sector since taking over the ministry.
The governor stated that the fundamental problem besetting the country was attitudinal, stressing that the country was not bereft of knowledge, policies and programmes capable of boosting the economy.
Ajimobi said the state was supposed to be the food basket of the nation if past leaders had seen agriculture as a major solution to hunger and economic driver, as well as a main source of employment for the youth.
According to him, the state was in good stead to be a major agric hub, judging by the concentration of reputable research institutions in the state, its vast arable land, as well as location between Lagos, the commercial nerve centre of the country, and the North among other comparative advantages.
He advised the new management of BoA to do all humanly possible to sustain the momentum in its renewed drive to revitalise the agriculture sector.
Ajimobi said: "You need to change the attitude of our people so they would know that there is money in agriculture. We are in this sorry state today because of bureaucracy and lack of sustenance of past agric policies. What has happened to Operation Feed the Nation?
"The new management of BoA has started well. I hope you will maintain the zeal with which you have started. Don't just talk the talk, walk the talk. In the past, some people will just give loans to themselves, which they knew they would not recover and this had crippled the bank.
"Oyo State is ready to take advantage of all opportunities available in agriculture to promote the standard of living of our people. We believe that with the natural endowment in our state we should be the food basket of Nigeria."

Full graphic support now added for iPhone 6 & iPhone 6+.
In game auto orientation lock.
Large and Small view options added for landscape mode.
Improved graphics and animated backgrounds.
App Description
Joker Shuffle 2 is a beautiful memory card game for all ages and your goal is to match pairs to score points. However, there is a twist! If you find a Joker then you must match it with another Joker to avoid the cards from shuffling and therefore any the cards you have remembered the location of will be lost! It seems super-simple to play but actually requires sharp visual-memory skills.
Once you match a pair, the cards will disappear. You need to clear all the cards as quickly as possible to get the lowest score and the fewer Joker Shuffle's that occur the higher your score will be. You have to be quick, quick, quick, but not so quick that you just keep randomly selecting cards, as you will not get a low score with this technique.
Joker Shuffle 2 is fully Game Center compatible and you can judge your success against others that are playing the game around the world. In addition to obtaining a score for clearing the cards as quickly as possible, you can also obtain try and obtain prizes for attaining certain achievements while playing the game.
* Crisp, beautiful, and easy to read cards
* Portrait or landscape with auto scaling

Bluff Country Singers to perform Sunday, Dec. 9, in Spring Valley
Flute, organ, and bells join a full-throated Christmas celebration of the 45 voice Bluff Country Singers under the direction of Elliott Grandall and accompanied by Suz Eberle Sunday, Dec. 9, with two performances at 2 and 7 p.m. at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Spring Valley.
"Sing We Now of Christmas" starts off the first joyous set, followed by the inspirational "Where Shepherds Lately Knelt." Then a "Carol of the Bells" and "Ring the Christmas Bells" provide counterpoint to the traditional "In Dulci Jubilo". Spirits will soar while flutist Renee Lechner interprets the majesty of a Jamie Mulfinger arrangement of the G.F. Handel version of "Joy to the World" and spines will tingle to "Toccata on 'Veni Emmanuel'" with David Grandall on the sumptuous Our Savior's pipe organ.
The chorus returns for "Ding Dong Merrily on High," "Sleigh Ride," and "All is Well," preparing the way for "I Have Seen the Light" led by the trio of Myron Allen, Alex Michenfelder and Doc Lyon. A free will offering will be taken with proceeds going to help purchase music for future concerts while the audience helps with "Joy to the World" and enjoys solo soprano Amanda Geer in "O Holy Night."
The chorus, piano, and organ insure that none are left out of the Christmas spirit, leaving no doubt with "Jesus What a Wonderful Child," "Candlelight Carol," "Celtic Christmas Blessing" and a "Climb to the Top of the Highest Mountain."
This season's Bluff Country Singers includes the following.
Soprano: Robin Breckenridge, Hisako Eppen, Pam Freet, Sally Jeske, Renee Lechner, Myrna Legried, Carol Lenz, Liz Newberg, Linda Niemeyer, Darlene Popadak, Gail Rollie, Allie Wolf, and Judy Wille.
Alto: Deb Dahl, Loretta Ascheman, Karen Grandall, Annette Johnson,Amanda Geer Janet Kappers, Jenna Moon, Sue Krahn, Julie Mlinar, Pam Nelson, Ellen Rollie, Carol Gross, and Carol Skare.
Tenor: Myron Allen, Marcy Capelle, Harlan Eickhoff, Kelvin Niemeyer, Alex Michenfelder, Garry Post, Jake Stacken, Nancy Stender, Naomi Stukey, Skip Vogel, and Bradyn Wollford.
Bass: Jon Dahl, Dick Jahn, Kirby Johnson, Doc Lyon, John Martinka, Jeff Thauwald, and Reese Wolf.
The Bluff Country Singers is devoted to performing music of all types with annual Christmas and spring concerts. The next spring concert will be performed April 7. Area musicians interested in joining Bluff Country Singers are invited to contact Elliott Grandall at 507-346-7882.

Daniel LaSpata with the Logan Square Neighborhood Association said the need for the Keep Chicago Renting measure is urgent.
In 2012, about 12,000 apartment units entered foreclosure in Chicago, he noted. "That amounts to 33 apartment units every day," LaSpata stressed.
Seven members of the Shaw family, including a 14 month-old baby, have been living without gas or electricity for nearly a week, according to parents Shantisha and Ezekiel. Late last year the Shaw's landlord was foreclosed upon and Freedom Mortgage Corp. took over the deed for the building. Progress Illinois talked to the Shaw family about their struggles and what may be next for the family affected by the ongoing foreclosure crisis in Chicago.

I met Paul E Flynn yesterday for the first time and shot some publicity photographs with me on a sand road seriously in the middle no where. He is a super nice guy and it was really fun working with him. He gave me a copy of his album and after listening to it quickly I can really say there is some awesome stuff on there. I haven't had time to look at any of the photographs yet but while logging them late last night I quickly resized one to put on the blog and this is it. I like it quite a lot. I don't want to give away anything else until they have been sorted out properly. I will keep you posted.
Paul was the front man of Sugar Drive back in the day.

It seems sometimes that video games are ruled by sequels. Look on TV now, and the two games most prominently advertised are Red Dead Redemption 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Now, I want to make it clear right now, I have no issue with sequels. Both of these games are fantastic experiences in their own right. My only issue is with how long sequels can take to happen. While you can count on a yearly installment of Call of Duty, it's been eight long years since we were graced with the original Red Dead Redemption. For several years it looked like we were never going to get a sequel at all. There's not a whole lot more frustrating than waiting for a sequel to a game you've loved. Sometimes they never come at all, other times they're announced far too early and you end up waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
This article is going to cover both kinds of these experiences. We've pulled together 20 games that players are anxiously anticipating the sequel to, and 10 that haven't had a sequel announced yet, but that rumors abound about. These include some of the biggest franchises ever, and some of the more niche ones. From old-school shooters to some of the most popular dungeon crawlers, if it's a popular game and there's a sequel coming, you'll find it here. What's your most anticipated game of 2019? As always, let us know in the comments.
29 In Development: Elder Scrolls VI
Despite occasional misgivings on my part, the Elder Scrolls series is one of the most interesting franchises around. Oblivion is one of my favorite games of all time, so like many, I was understandably excited by the game's reveal at E3. The trailer has hinted that the game will be set in Hammerfell, the home of the Redguards. There's just one problem. Development is going to take a long, long time. According to various sources, the game might well not be out until the next generation of consoles comes about, so we could be looking at a good few years.
28 In Development: The Last Of Us Part II
In terms of post-apocalyptic worlds, I don't think any game has quite captured society's descent into madness like The Last Of Us. Thrusting you into a world gone to hell, it really put you threw the emotional wringer. The sequel sees players controlling an older Ellie, focusing on hate, as opposed to the first game's focus on love. The release date of the sequel is completely unknown, but it seems likely that it will hit in 2019, according to various leaks and speculation.
27 Possible: Splinter Cell
All I'm asking for is another Chaos Theory. That game, alongside Metal Gear Solid 5, nailed stealth better than any other I've tried. Whether we'll get one or not is kind of up in the air. Back at E3 2017, Ubisoft's CEO, Yves Guillemot, stressed that all the Tom Clancy games are "taken care of" and that Splinter Cell hadn't been forgotten. There's been some more recent, and worrying, news though. Ubisoft's chief creative officer, Serge Hascoet, was interviewed by Game Informer in October, and told them that they are fighting for resources for Splinter Cell.
26 In Development: Metroid Prime 4
Metroid is a franchise that stands astride Nintendo alongside Mario and Zelda. It is a key franchise beloved by many, and the good news is, Metroid Prime 4 is coming. If you've been hiding under a rock, the game was announced at E3 2017, and development is ongoing, if slow. There was no more news about it at this year's E3, and to be honest, there's been almost complete radio silence from Nintendo. As long as it's better than Other M, we're good. It's coming in late 2019, at the earliest.
25 In Development: Spelunky 2
Ah, Spelunky. The game has had something of a meteoric rise to fame. Before it was the top indie sensation of 2012-13, it was a humble free downloadable title. The thing that it's always had is consistency. It is never less than incredibly entertaining, a beautifully balanced roguelike that quite literally tempts you with pretty baubles before brutally ending you. The sequel, promising new enemies, better graphics, new allies and a whole host of interesting items, is due to hit consoles in 2019.
24 Possible: Borderlands 3
If you've played video games in the past couple of years, I'm pretty certain that you've played a Borderlands game. An action RPG with incredible gunplay and randomized weapons, the franchise has provided gamers with joyous moment after joyous moment with its multiplayer campaigns. The third (proper) installment looks to be released next year (maybe.) Aside from a tweet from Randy Pitchford back in 2016, we've not heard much about it. But back in March, during an investors call, Take-Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick said a hotly anticipated new title from one of their biggest franchises would hit in 2019.
23 In Development: Beyond Good & Evil 2
If you want to talk about vaporware, Beyond Good & Evil 2 has been in the pipeline for so long it's almost gaseous. The original BGE came out back in 2003, and the sequel was announced all the way back in 2008. It then basically vanished off the radar for nine years until it was once again announced at Ubisoft's E3 2017 conference. It will be an open-world game with RPG elements, with the player character at the very bottom of the world's social ladder. Players will be able to visit various planets and explore different societies.
22 In Development: Doom Eternal
Yes yes yes. I cannot wait for this game. DOOM was one of my favorite FPS games ever made, and if the sequel is anything like it, it's going to be superb. Due in 2019, players once again fill the boots and grasp the BFG of the Doom Slayer, this time on Earth. The game promises new weapons and weapon mods, a whole array of new demons to fight, and gory dismemberment. It's also the first game to be developed in id Tech 7, which has 10 times the geometric detail of id Tech 6.
21 Possible: Star Fox: Grand Prix
Back in May, rumors began to come out about Star Fox: Grand Prix, supposedly in development for the Switch. Unlike previous installments of the Star Fox series, this would be a racing game, described as "like Diddy Kong Racing mixed with F-Zero." As you can imagine, this excited people. Nintendo have kept very very quiet about this game if it is being developed, leading some to believe it is a hoax. However, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that Nintendo are simply trying to keep it under their hats.
20 In Development: Dying Light 2
Dying Light was a game that came out of nowhere. Originally thought to be a sequel to Dead Island, it ended up being its own thing, and was wildly popular. It debuted in the charts at number one, even outselling GTA V. With such popularity, a sequel was somewhat inevitable. No release date has been announced, but we do know that the narrative master who is Chris Avellone will be serving as the game's narrative designer, with the story aiming to be full of difficult decisions and their consequences.
19 In Development: Mount And Blade II: Bannerlord
If you want to experience the life of a medieval lord/mercenary/bandit/butter-loving peasant, there's no game that fits the bill better than Mount and Blade: Warband. Its sequel, Bannerlord, started development in 2011, and is dragging on like crazy. The game takes place before Warband, during the fall of the Roman-esque Calradian Empire. New enemies, armor, and architecture styles are promised, and the screenshots look amazing, but it's been quite the wait. As of now, it still has no official release date.
18 Possibility: Bully 2
The only open-world game that I can think of set in a high school, Bully was a fresh new direction for Rockstar back in 2006. It was enswathed by controversy in the UK at its release, renamed Canis Canem Edit. While the sequel has yet to be officially announced, rumors are swirling around like wildfire. In August 2017, supposed concept art from the game was leaked online, with Rockstar refusing to comment, which could be a good or bad thing for fans of the game. Meanwhile, casting calls for the sequel at England's Pinewood Studios were announced earlier this month.
17 In Development: Resident Evil 2
"Hold on a minute, I thought you said this was about games in development," I hear you cry. Well, hold your horses. Following on from the rampant success of Resident Evil 7 last year, we're getting a remake of Resi 2. It's going to completely remaster the game, moving away from the tank controls of the original and into a Resi 4-style over-the-shoulder camera. If you've not played the original, the game follows Leon and Claire as they fight their way out of an infected Raccoon City. It's due out in January 2019.
16 Possibility: Left 4 Dead 3
We all know that game development is essentially a secondary business for Valve at this point. When they make games, they're consistently fantastic, however, and by goodness do we want more. Left 4 Dead 3, the follow up to probably the most popular four-player game ever made, is a bit AWOL. While we were teased with the second game's plantation map rebuilt in Source 2.0, we've got nothing to go on when it comes to the next installment. I can't imagine Valve have abandoned the franchise, but when it's coming, no one knows.
15 In Development: Shin Megami Tensei 5
The Shin Megami Tensei games have had a fair smattering of settings across the year, but Shin Megami Tensei 5's looks to be particularly interesting. It's set in modern day Tokyo, and while that might not exactly make your heart jump with excitement, I have no doubt Atlus will do interesting things with it. Apparently, they want to make it sympathetic to modern problems. It's aiming to be a mix of Shin Megami Tensei IV and Nocturne.
14 In Development: Halo Infinite
As series go, Halo does seem pretty infinite! Ba-dum tsh! Infinite is a sequel to Halo 5, with the never-ending fight continuing unfinished. The game will apparently "double down" on Master Chief, giving him more coverage than he's previously had in games up until now. While it will likely be very similar to Halo 5, very little else is known about it. We know that it will be built in a new engine, called the Slipspace Engine, and we also know of two things that will definitely not be in it. The first, which I imagine was met by rapturous mental applause, is loot boxes, the second is a Battle Royale mode. It's due out in December.
13 Possible: The Sims 5
Who are we kidding? This is far more than possible, you don't get a franchise that's as successful as The Sims and then just stop it. When it's coming though, that's something we don't know. We do know that EA are not done with The Sims 4 just yet, and some predict the fifth game will be released in 2020. What will be in it is so far unknown, but we do know what fans want. These include a more open world, the vehicles from The Sims 3, better neighborhood creation tools, and all the age ranges from day one.
12 In Development: Evil Genius 2
Did you ever play Evil Genius? If not, I'd recommend you get it on Steam. It's a strategy game quite unlike any other I've played, putting you in the mechanically-stomping boots of an archetypal Bond villain. You can carry out various plots, including stealing the Eiffel Tower, and it's all good fun. The game has been in development since 2017 by Rebellion, who also confirmed that the game is not going to be free-to-play. Instead, it's going to be a fully-fledged sequel. No release date has announced, as Rebellion are bringing the game to their new Asura engine.
11 In Development: Age Of Empires IV
Age of Empires is a franchise with a huge amount of history. For many people, it's firmly rooted in their first experience of PC gaming. It's been a long time since Age of Empires 3. Luckily though, the fourth installment was announced last year, before promptly disappearing off the news radar. Judging by the trailer, the game's time progression will cover the Roman to the early modern eras. While a key part of PC gaming's history, it seems we'll be waiting a while for a new one, with no release date announced at present.
10 Possible: Bulletstorm 2
Will the legend of Waggleton P. Tallylicker live on in a new version of Bulletstorm? It seems actually kind of possible. We know that People Can Fly, who developed the game with Epic, are working on a new unnamed project. However, in a recent interview, PCF's CEO, Sebastian Wojciechowski said that a sequel is "more in our heads than anywhere else."
However, it is possible that it will return, with Gearbox not ruling it out completely, saying that a sequel could happen.
9 In Development: System Shock 3
System Shock is a series with a cult following quite unlike any other that I've ever known. Released back in 1999, System Shock 2's strange, cyberpunk horror struck a chord with people, who promptly fell in love with it, leading to its villainess, Shodan, becoming one of the most famous video gaming villains. The third game is being developed by Otherside Entertainment, with Starbreeze publishing. It will be a direct sequel to the second game, with Shodan having downloaded her consciousness into Rebecca Siddons.
8 In Development: Gears 5
The confusingly titled sixth Gears of War game, Gears 5 is set to hit shelves and consoles next year. The game focuses on Kait Diaz, who is half locust, with her attempting to track down the origins of the Locusts. The game will be a direct sequel to Gears Of War 4, which has been retroactively described as being Kait's story, akin to Furiosa's role in Mad Max: Fury Road. It's going to be an interesting installment of the series, that much is for sure.
7 Possibility: Bloodborne 2
Another (understandably) rabid fanbase is that of the Souls and Bloodborne games. I get it, I love these games too, and am part of the crowd anxiously waiting for news on Bloodborne 2. While we're going to have to wait until From Software have released Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the future isn't all bleak for Bloodborne fans. There have been a fair few leaks about the game, with the most interesting tidbits being that the game may well get a Switch port too, bringing more people into the thrall.
6 In Development: Unreal Tournament
I have a special soft spot for the Unreal Tournament series. It's one of the few competitive games that I've ever got really, really good at, able to beat Godlike bots fairly easily. Since July 2017, we've heard nothing about the new UT, but can fairly safely assume it's not been canned. Interestingly, the game is being developed via crowdsourcing, and will be released as a free-to-play game. All the popular game modes from past games are set to make a return, and hopefully, it'll be a Doom-like flashback to the golden age of shooters.
5 In Development: Bayonetta 3
I owned, and adored, the original Bayonetta. Take a pinch of DMC and mix in a whole host of weird biblical enemies, combined with an even more impressive combat system, and you've got Bayonetta. It switching to Nintendo consoles exclusively is something I'd never have foreseen, but it's continuing with Bayonetta 3, a Switch exclusive coming soon. When asked why this was the case, Platinum's VP, Hideki Kamiya, said it was just a case of funding, with Nintendo providing the game's budget.
4 Possibility: Mario Golf Switch
Mario Golf and its sequel Toadstool Tour are some of the most popular nontraditional golf games ever made, so it seems strange that Nintendo haven't released a new one. While nothing has been announced, rumors are flying around the internet that there may be a new Mario Golf game in development for the Switch. Mario Tennis Aces proved to be a big commercial and critical success, so these rumors should definitely not be completely discounted, even if they so far appear unfounded.
3 In Development: Kingdom Hearts 3
Fans of the east-meets-west Kingdom Hearts series, rejoice! The third installment of the series is due out in January. The game will continue with the same hack-and-slash combat that's been tried and tested in the series, but will come with a huge amount of new properties. Franchises making their first appearances in the series include: Monsters, Inc., Tangled, Big Hero 6, Toy Story, and Frozen. A huge variety of other properties will be making a return, while returning characters include Sora, King Mickey, Goofy, and Donald Duck.
2 In Development: Payday 3
Well, the good news here is that Payday 3 is absolutely in development. The robbery-sim's latest incarnation was confirmed following Starbreeze securing the rights for the series, but absolutely zero is known about it. Now, the bad news: it's not going to be out for a long time. In a financial report, Starbreeze said that Payday 2 will continue to be a huge moneymaker for them until at least 2020, and it's already known it will be updated until 2019. It could be that it will be released in 2020, but it's equally possible it won't hit until 2021.
1 Possibility: BioShock 4
Whether under the sea (down where it's wetter), or in the sky, BioShock has always been an imaginative franchise. There are a large number of rumors that the series' fourth installment is being developed by a secret 2K studio in San Francisco. According to Kotaku's industry insider Jason Schreier, during Mafia III's development, some studio staff left the project to work on an "unannounced new BioShock game." While we've yet to hear anything, they're not the swiftest games to develop, so cross your fingers!

It can... If it couldn't I couldn't for example.. make a Memcache Session Handler from the Memcache class
provided by the Memcache PECL nor would it make sense to make for example a propel-gen-pecl-c++.
SDO looks pretty interesting. Never heard of it.However, I still don't think you answered my question.You proposed using propel-gen to create C++ classes for objects that could be compiled as a PECL, to get the execution speed of C++ with the flexibility of Propel.However, the propel generator creates a PHP object hierarchy, which you then modify the Object.php and ObjectPeer.php classes with your business logic.I am not aware of the ability to expose classes via PECL. All the times I have used it, it can return objects that implement interfaces, but never actual PHP classes that could be extended.For instance, if you use propel-gen-c++ to generate a MyObjectBase* as a PECL, I don't think you can then, in PHP, do:class MyObject extends MyObjectBase{function customCode(){// do something}}I don't believe this is possible, but I am not certain. And if it's not, the idea of propel-gen-c++ doesn't seem useful.I know you said that it was done in the links you sent, but I don't have time to dig through piles of links and CVS trees looking for this example. Feel free to provide a direct link showing how this is done.Thanks!AlanOn Jul 22, 2006, at 12:39 PM, Pedram Nimreezi wrote:
Am I sure it would be a good idea? Well I do have at least *some* evidence
I mean IBM hasn't really done open source PHP until they did SDO which is
a C++ and PHP API similar in purpose and design to creole and propel, SDO
is to PDO as propel is to creole, meaning SDO relies on PDO for its data base
accessibility. PDO unlike creole is written in C (afaik). SDO unlike propel in C++,
PDO and SDO unlike propel and creole must be installed into PHP either statically
through ./configure or dynamically through phpize, moved to the location specified in
php.ini as extension_dir = and loaded like you would a standard .dll or .so extension.
SDO does not have "optionally" a script-able interface to itself from PHP, it actually
requires it since SDO was never completely ported to C++ from PHP, or they couldn't
find the time to write the remaining portions so those objects are written in PHP 5, there
is no PHP 4 version as SDO remains completely dependent on PDO for database access.
Therefore I think it would be a *good* idea because they can be similar in speeds and propel
can obviously spit out PHP 4, PHP 5 and now C++, why not PECL? or why not write the other
classes as PHP 4 and PHP 5 compatible and then refactor that into a PECL so the only
scripting is done on initialization code, makes little sense not to pursue this because *some*
people cannot personally install an extension in their web server which would actually lower
the load on the server and increase the throughput for this *good* type of programming.
I would just like to say that I don't use SDO, I use propel and creole because I just like to,
I rewrote creole and propel to be PHP 4 AND PHP 5 compatible and like that much better in
my "rapid" framework whose design includes things for SEO and SOA.
I've requested before at least for mine or the PHP 4 version be dual licensed under LGPL
and BSD License, so that I can dual license MY framework under BSD license as well, also
SDO is provided under much less restriction than the LPGL. I think helping make these patterns
for advanced web application programming better and faster will help everyone. I know I wouldn't
of had any reason to dedicate a couple years using propel and creole, or want to be involved had
it not been for such good open source contributors like Hans, the PHP user groups and yourself.
Ps, Here's a list of sites on the matter that may shed some light on SDO and PECL implementations
where you can subclass classes and more. Don't forget to look all in the CVS code and tests..

Dábu is an ideophone – a part of speech which in isiZulu has the rather usage-oriented name of 'isenzukuthi'. What this means is 'the thing that works using ukuthi' – so-called because ideophones are used much like the English phrases 'it goes bang' or 'they always go pop like that', where the 'to go…' is 'ukuthi…' in isiZulu, and the words in bold are ideophones.
No, they're not always onomatopoeic- ideophones are words that use a certain sound to denote the carrying out of an action, so they are adverbial or descriptive in that sense. They are also the root of many nouns and verbs, through fairly standard paths of derivation, e.g. ukuqhuma (to explode) and umqhumuko (a bursting forth of people or things) are derived from the ideophone qhúmu (denoting 'bursting open' or 'crushing something that bursts or breaks noisily').
Today's word is dábu, denoting tearing or cracking. There are 6 pure nouns, 3 compound nouns and 3 verbs that derive from this one ideophone.
In terms of 6 pure nouns, there are the following:
umdabu is a) origin (as of a tribe); b) an inyanga's name for the intolwane plant, Elephantorhiza burchelii, a dwarf Mimosa shrub, whose roots are used as an emetic for love-charms, as well as for stomach and chest complaints
umdabuka is a) a crack in the skin; b) original inhabitant of a place
isidabuko is a place of origin, an original source or original custom
indabuko is a) source, origin b) inherited custom
umdabuko is a) source, origin b) original custom, inherited manners
The 3 Compound Nouns are:
indabulaluvalo: literally 'fear-cracker' a) a species of marble, which is used ground up as part of any medicine for causing unusual power (as by young men when courting, or to induce favour); b) species of trees, whose bark is used for chest and heart complaints, Spermacoce natalensis, Panicum maximum or Senecio bupleroides
ilidabulambizo, literally 'pot-render'; Young bullock with tender flesh (the swelling of the flesh on cooking is supposed to burst the pots)
udabulizangci, literally 'one-who-rends-like-a-wild-dog': Love charm medicine
Finally, having been led into the metaphors of rending and cracking and tearing, here are the 3 verbs (each with a number of suffixal derivatives):
dabuka: intransitive verb: a) get torn or rent (as a garment); b) crack, become cracked (of earthen vessel, of the skin), become chapped; c) become heart-broken, saddened, grieved; be sorry, contrite; d) die, draw the last breath; e) originate, have origin (as a tribe); f) idiomatic uses, such as: 'ukudabuka indlebe' (be unsettled, be in a state of alarm and anxiety) and 'ukudabuka kokusa' (the break of dawn).
dabukela: applied form of 'dabuka': a) get torn for, crack for; b) be sorry for, pity; c) have origin at, originate at
dabula: transitive verb: a) tear, rend; cleave, split down, saw through; chap (of cloth); b) pass through, cut across; c) survey, divide off plots of land; d) cause sorrow, cut to the heart; e) bring into being, originate, create; f) Unsheathe, draw weapon (as if from bundle)
These are the different aspects of dábu – an ideophone having quite interesting effects on things like the creation myth of the amaZulu. In this myth, it is said that
abantu badatshulwe ohlangeni
people were cleaved off from the bundle of reeds
The reeds occupy a central part of the creation mythology of the amaZulu and the amaSwati. And so the reed ceremony celebrates the young and supple, reedlike young men and women in a series of fertility rituals. The amabutho in formation, about to attack, stand like a rustling stand of reeds with spears to the sky. And it is that first cleaving which is remembered every time one of us dies, or one draws a weapon.

Tallahassee PR Firm Looking for an 'Apprentice'
Donald Trump may not be in the boardroom, but the stakes are just as high for four interns at a Tallahassee-based public relations company.
Four women working as public relations interns for Kidd Group, a Tallahassee communications company that represents state agencies and other governmental entities and banks among other clients, are competing for a job with the company in an internship modeled after the Donald Trump TV show, "The Apprentice."
"I think it's so fun because I really love competition and I've always wanted to be on "The Apprentice" since it first came out – like Donald Trump-style, so when I first saw this I thought it was so different and creative," said Kaitlyn Hastings, a rising senior at the University of Florida.
Hastings, Sully Moreno, Lynsey Sherman and Alyssa Canales all want the job come the end of the summer. For Hastings and Moreno, who still have school to finish, it would be a part time gig. For Sherman and Canales, it could mean a full time job.
Allison Fogt, an account manager for the firm, said the four interns are given tasks each week and the one who does the best is declared the winner. The ultimate winner of course, wins gainful employment.
"Should they accept...they would be able to have the opportunity to work for us part time and see how that goes," Fogt said. It's the second year the firm has run the competition.
The four women have as their client Govloop.com, a social networking site for federal employees.
One of their biggest tasks so far has been to plan a one year anniversary party for the site that will be held in Washington D.C. later this month.
A potential party plan was submitted in the "boardroom" by the interns on Wednesday. Four Kidd Group employees plus a guest panelist then quizzed them over details.
Would the party DJ consider a discount if Govloop did free advertising? If the party is held outdoors, are there bathrooms? Would it be a cash bar or open bar?
At the end of the presentation, the women learn who won the previous week's challenge. Last week's was to write a press release about two awards that Govloop won. Moreno, a Florida State junior, was declared the winner.
"Oh my God, finally!" she said, smiling.

When I wrote about the Hippocratic Oath back in May of 2011, we had just experienced a week with a strong, drying Spring wind that blew almost non-stop, and daily radio news about wildfires in Alberta -- most notably, one that destroyed almost half the town of Slave Lake, population 7,000. These days, we're experiencing abnormal weather patterns that caused severe flooding in Southern Alberta, my yard has already seen three hailstorms, and we've faced several severe storm watches and warnings, another one expected tonight.
In our developed world, we usually manage to cope with Global Climate Instability (I'll call it that because it's easier for people to recognize the sudden volatilities in our climate than it is to see long term climate change a la Al Gore and his graphs). The people of Calgary, High River, and Canmore are pulling together, pooling their considerable resources, and getting on with things. The Calgary Stampede organizers vow that the show will go on "come hell or high water." But there was a flood in India as it began flooding here, and close to a thousand people in Uttarakhand State died. In Alberta, we were so absorbed in the loss of homes and property, and our pride in our resilience and resourcefulness, we hardly noticed the disaster affecting our brothers and sisters in India, people who don't have the kind of resources we do to deal with disasters on a large scale.
It seems that our recent disaster has converted more people when it comes to climate change. We're starting to realize that our highly energy consumptive lives are heating up our planet and creating these incredible storms that cause major damage. Of course, we must light and heat our homes, transport things and people and cook our meals, but the problem is that we never think about the "hidden" energy it takes to run the factories that make the stuff that fills our lives, and the harm that a lot of our large companies and corporations do because no one calls them to account for their environmental impacts. We also don't give as much thought as we could to our personal conservation strategies. It's always easier to use throw-away paper plates instead of washing dishes when a large crowd comes to visit...
At a Social Justice institute some time ago, the keynote speaker, Dr. William Cavanaugh, mused about what the world might be like if corporations were forced to live by the Hippocratic Oath to do no harm to our planet. And my mind wandered off, thinking about the shape our Earth would be in if all governments and people had focused our energies not just on doing no harm, but on having a positive impact on our world. Unfortunately, harm is built into The System, no mistake about it. And too often we feel powerless to change The System.
Facing facts, neither the world's corporations nor its governments will ever take an oath to do no harm. But individuals can. And while we may not be able to do NO harm, if all of us, together, reduce the harm we do to the lowest common denominator, and call corporations and governments to account, that's a start, the best start we can make. It seems that enough of us raised our voices about the poor conditions faced by factory workers in Bangladesh that many corporations took notice. We can also raise our voices, write letters, and start online campaigns against other things that are messing with the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants. We have a lot more power than we think.
So, to improve the earth's well-being today, I am redoubling my efforts to do no harm. I also planted a few more green, living things that make oxygen, rode bikes with my daughter to her swimming lessons, washed some "disposable cups" from yesterday's Canada Day party for reuse, and gave air conditioning a miss (ha, we don't have it... but our basement is nice and cool, so I'll head down there in a few minutes). There are always ways to do less harm and more good. They might be less convenient, but what's convenience in the grander scheme of things?

Video: Mauritanian Sahara delights tourists again after years blighted by terror
Date created :
After years blighted by terror attacks, tourists are beginning to return to Mauritania. Charter flights between Paris and the Mauritanian Sahara resumed in December 2017. Tourists can now re-discover the country's vast sand dunes and rich cultural heritage, such as Chinguetti, seen as the seventh holy city of Islam. The revival is an economic windfall but also a test for Mauritania, which is keen to stand out from its terror-hit neighbours. FRANCE 24's Mehdi Meddeb and Stéphane Kenech report.

street photos again.
I dunno. Haven't blogged in almost a week, but the backlog is still low. Shooting film is super slow, what can I say? I've got some rolls to develop sitting here right now; and a bunch of stuff scanned that I need to get spotted.
Also, this isn't my only project… I'm once again wearing many hats. Well, at least one, with a Cubs' logo on it.

Remember Me
I had the above bit on my previous pony under your recommendation. We have a new pony ( Connemara, he is only 6 yrs . We put him in the happy tongue purely because we have it and he seemed to take to it , he mouthed up lovely and was very responsive. He did however on occasions snatch his mouth forward and down ?
My bit also has the web strap at the back which I'm not entirely sure if it's function? Also I find I am able to put a noseband on with this bit as the web strap sits pretty much in the same place as the noseband?
This pony was in a French link snaffle when we tried him , no issues with trying to get his tongue over the bit , he did however feel very heavy on the bit and leant on it hence why we decided to try the happy tongue we have . He also had a flash noseband in his previous home, not something I'm a fan of . Would you suggest we continue with the happy tongue 3 ring ? Is there anyway of using a noseband ( purely for looks really) or should I try another type of bit ?
Kind regards
Julie kilby
Hi Julie,
The web strap on the 3 Ring is there to regulate how quickly the leverage on the mouth piece comes into effect. Without the back strap, the mouth piece will slid on the ring for a while before it catches and the leverage comes in. The poll pressure will come in fairly quickly. The tighter the strap, the faster the pressure will kick in. You could take the back strap off the 3 Ring, this will mean that the leverage on the mouth piece takes much longer to come into effect, and you will be able to use a noseband.
I would prefer to have such a young horse in a plain Loose Ring, without any of the extra pressures that a 3 Ring creates.
I suspect that either the Happy Tongue port could be a little wide for him, or the 3 Ring is just too strong a cheek piece for him. Depending on his mouth size, I suggest trying either a Loose Ring Ported Barrel or a Loose Ring Happy Tongue Narrow. The Ported Barrel would be my first choice, but we are limited to how small we can make this mouth piece at the moment. The smallest we can make is a 5".
Hi Claire
Thankyou for your reply . I did however forget to mention that he is a new pony and we have been told he can /may get strong SJ and XC , his rider is 13yrs , so not sure if the loose ring portal barrel bit would be ok ?
Many thanks
In order to keep a young horse soft, it's important that we don't bit them up too much too early. Even if he does get strong, I wouldn't go for anything stronger than a 2½ Ring cheek piece. With this cheek piece, you will get leverage on the mouth piece as well as poll pressure, but it is still kept light due to the half ring.
If possible, I would try him in the Loose Ring first.
"The bit has made an instant improvement, the horse is stopping, no head shaking, no fly jumping and the bucking and the attitude have stopped completely! Thank you very much for your help and expertise."
"The new bit has lightened him up a lot & now he can balance nuch better without trying to support himself on me ... Thank you very much for listening to my problems & your choice of bit for us is excellent!"
"We order polocrosse racquets off Bomber and tell him what we want and they come ready to play with straight away."

"My spurs are awesome and fit perfectly, I am absolutely rapt with them. I wanted to say a huge thank you!"
"I purchased a Happy Tongue bit from you about a month ago and it has solved my horse's head and tongue problems. She is now one very happy and relaxed horse. Thank you."
"I had a break through! We've been experiencing severe head tossing, tongue over bit and then pig-rooting, bucking and even rearing. We put in the Bomber Happy Tongue and her whole attitude to going forward and stopping relaxed. She is just so happy and willing now. It was a joy to ride her today."
"I just wanted to compliment you and your staff on your service delivery. I do want to say your standard of service was very impressive. I haven't dealt with a company yet in SA that has be so prompt at answering questions and getting a product delivered."
"I would just like to thank you for the most amazing, helpful and professional service from Bombers!! My bits arrived this morning and I can't wait to try them out!"

An interesting thing that I've only recently realized is that while my hobby is providing reviews for things that other people have made, my living is made providing services and creating objects that live and die by reviews from other people. I'm a Freelance Graphic Designer, I have an Etsy store, and I watch people's dogs.
It is amazing how bad a poor review or a lost client can feel when you've worked your ass off. It is why I try to couch negative reviews in the nicest way possible. Very few people set out to purposefully create a bad product so just because I think a poor review is justified and is good for consumers, I don't want to discourage someone just because being a dick will get more clicks than being nice about it.
Conversely, a great review will make you feel like you are on top of the world. Like all the hard work you put into a job was noticed and made someone's life better. It's even better when that good review is hand-delivered and is accompanied by whiskey.
Which is what happened to me last week.
There is a dog that I have been watching at least once a week for the last six months or more. He was just a pup when it started and we've had the pleasure of watching him grow up. Last Friday, our client came up the walkway holding a bag that looked suspiciously like a booze bag. In it was a very lovely card letting us know how much she appreciated all we do for him and a bottle of High West American Prairie bourbon. Which was doubly appreciated as we hadn't reviewed it previously.
Long story short: if you appreciate someone, let them know. It'll make their day.
High West American Prairie Bourbon
Purchase Info: This bourbon was a lovely gift of appreciation from a dogsitting client. Suggested retail price is $34.99.
Details: Age stated as 2 years old. The High West website says that is is a blend of 2- to 13-year-old straight bourbon whiskeys with one of them being an MGP bourbon of the 75% corn, 21% rye mashbill.
Nose: Butterscotch, mint, cinnamon and a hint of pickle juice.
Mouth: Sweet with a nice mouthfeel. Caramel, nutmeg, dusty oak and a hint of anise.
Finish: Medium length. Notes of cinnamon, mint, and oak.
Thoughts: The folks at High West have a reputation for sourcing whiskeys from multiple distilleries and blending them to make a tasty end product. This is no exception. Even though the product is legally only 2-years-old, this is a pretty good dram. They recommend using it in a cocktail, but I think it works just fine on it's own.

One of my unofficial resolutions this year is to bake more fruit tarts. Year after year I find myself wishing I had baked with the strawberries of spring, the peaches of summer, and autumn's glorious apples. Time passes so quickly, and I regret not celebrating fresh fruit at the peak of its season. It may seem silly to worry about such things, but I believe investing precious spare time in baking a fruit tart slows time down a little. Eating fresh fruit out of hand is a true pleasure, but it's a fleeting one. Baking a tart is a ritual beginning with selecting the fruit, composing the pastry and blind-baking it, filling the tart shell and finishing it off in the oven. We plan each step then we wait as fruit bubbles and crust caramelizes under the heat of the oven, filling the kitchen with its tantalizing aroma. To me, a fruit tart embodies hospitality. If you've got a tart and a pot of tea, then you've got a party waiting to happen. For my first fruit tart of the year, I've baked Martha Stewart's Rustic Meyer Lemon Tart, which is actually based on a recipe from Chez Panisse Desserts. I made the tart with Meyer lemons and then with regular lemons- both variations were delicious.
It makes me sad to hear someone say they've given up on making fruit pies and tarts because the pastry is too difficult. Perfect comes with practice, and since the trend in the food world is to make everything look easy, we've got unrealistic expectations. With practice, your tart crusts will get better every time. If a recipe fails, look at what went wrong and seek out troubleshooting ideas from baking books to ensure success next time. Baking, by James Peterson is my favorite book when it comes to tart dough. The pictures and step-by-step instructions are great, but the best part is the way Mr. Peterson sets up our expectations. The first time I baked Martha Stewart's Rustic Meyer Lemon Tart, I had difficulty with the short crust. After chilling the dough, her instructions read:
"Using your fingers, press dough evenly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Freeze for 30 minutes."
The dough was so stiff I struggled to press it into the pan. The rolling pin tore it to pieces, which sent my anxiety through the roof. I felt abandoned. What to do? Then I found a section on Working with Fragile Pastry Dough in James Peterson's Baking book that helped me adjust my expectations and troubleshoot the situation:
"Some pastry dough, especially that which contains a lot of butter or contains very little liquid, can be almost impossible to roll out without cracking."
Good to know. Peterson encourages patching tears and moving on- these things happen. He gives us permission not to be perfect.
Here are a few more tips I've learned for making short crust pastry for fruit tarts:
- The pastry must never get warm. A short crust is made by cutting cold pieces of butter into flour. Flaky layers are the result of pieces of butter suspended in the dough. If the pastry starts to get warm just stop what you're doing and pop it into the freezer for a few minutes. James Peterson writes that "Pastry dough will withstand any number of mistakes- even the dreaded overworking- as long as the butter it contains never melts."
- Reading James Peterson's book, Baking, I learned that you can make pie and tart dough in a stand mixer! I don't own a food processor, so this was exciting news to me. I also found it easier to see the pastry coming together in the stand mixer: from fine gravel to coarse gravel to large lumps. Use the paddle attachment to combine the ingredients on medium speed for about 4 minutes, then add the liquid and mix a few seconds to combine.
- To get the fragile tart dough disk flattened out and into the tart pan, I employed a technique I had seen Martha Stewart do on tv- beat the pastry (gently) with the rolling pin to flatten it. That made rolling the dough out much easier. Then I pressed the dough into the tart pan and trimmed off the excess.
- You don't have to use a tart pan with a removable bottom. Sure, it makes for a nice presentation, but a ceramic tart dish (like the one I used) will do just fine. Make sure to grease the ceramic tart dish with butter before pressing in the dough. Once baked, just cut and serve the tart from the dish.
Each week I contribute a column to the Whole Foods Market Cooking Boulder website expanding on one of my 10 Ways Tuesday ideas. This week I baked a lemon tart with sweet, flaky pastry and tart, buttery lemon curd filling. The heat of the oven caramelizes the lemon curd, imparting a rustic quality and depth of flavor not found in other lemon tarts. For my column and the recipe, click on the icon below.

What's New in Social: Join the Conversation
It's crucial for property management professionals to find innovative ways to connect with prospects and generate business, and social media is a powerful tool to help. For this reason, Property Management Insider has created a weekly series to keep readers up-to-date on the latest trends and updates in social media.
Here's what's new in social:
1. Facebook News Feed Changes
Facebook recently implemented changes to make the News Feed more user-friendly across networks, devices and connection speeds. Thanks to a recently designed open-sourced Network Connection Class, a user's connection speed is determined and adjustments are made accordingly. For example, for a user whose connection is slow, Facebook may display more stories than videos or display previously downloaded stories first. The company also recently switched over to a progressive JPEG photo format is continuing to investigate new ways to improve usability on a global scale.
2. Twitter Moments
When a topic is hot, activity on Twitter can explode in a matter of moments. So when a user logs into their account mid-day, it's easy for them to feel lost in the midst of the conversation. That's why the company created Twitter Moments, which was introduced in the United States this week and will be soon become available on a global scale. This solution offers collections of tweets, images, and videos so users can easily and quickly read through the constantly evolving activity around a topic, without having to scroll though countless tweets. For property managers looking for a fast, efficient way to stay up-to-date on the latest in multifamily, this is an ideal solution.
3. LinkedIn Groups
LinkedIn redesigned its Groups feature, making major changes to both appearance and functionality. On October 14, a standalone app will be introduced that is designed to reduce spam and provide the most relevant content to users. The app offers a Highlights tab, which shows a user discussions from the groups they belong to and makes it easy for them to jump into the conversation directly from their device. Additional tabs allow LinkedIn users to discover interesting content and conduct job searches. One of the most notable changes is that all groups will become private, meaning content can no longer be indexed by search engines. For property management professionals, the new app makes it easier than ever to network with industry peers and join the multifamily conversation.
How will you take advantage of the latest social media trends and updates to improve your multifamily business? Stay tuned for updates on What's New in Social!

One of the biggest investments I've made so far is my iPad pro. I've always been a person to paint and draw, but in today's day & age, you need to be able to make things digital! Well, to everyone out there who is better with a pen & paper rather than digital products…
You need Procreate for your iPad pro.
Downloading Procreate is $10 and that's all you need! There's nothing else in the app you can buy and no annoying spamy ads.
So why is it such a great investment & why do I love using it?
You can paint & draw like paper, but it's going digital! And that is key for me. You can draw on paper and take a photo, insert it into the app and trace over it. Then, send it to photoshop or create a JPG, PNG, or SVG file.
I also love just going digital! Like looking up inspiration images off the internet, inserting them into the app and then being able to trace, erase imperfections, and rearrange the sizing of everything. You can even imitate all different types of painting brushes, lettering brushes, textures, etc. It's an endless supply of every art supply but all in the palm of your hand.
Sorry, getting a little too excited over here.
More ways I use the app:
Create brush pattern background textures. It's such a great way to create high resolution images.
Add textures to mood boards
Create time lapses of me drawing to show my process {just hit the record your screen button on your ipad}
I created this little drawing of flowers to illustrate one of the ways I use this app.
Let me take you through the entire process, start to finish!
First: draw on regular paper { here are some random sketches I did in my notebook}, take a photo, & airdrop it to your iPad.
Step 2: Open the Procreate app and insert the photo into you board.
Step 3: Choose your brush & trace over your drawings! I chose the fine tip pen, but if you look below, you can see all the categories & choices you have. **Make sure that the layer you are drawing on is a new layer overtop of the photo.
Step 4: Take away the photo layer and you are left with what is below!
Step 5: Rearrange everything to the way you like it using that weird ribbon thing on the top left & the arrow tool. {video is on my instagram feed}
Step 6: Once you will end up with a final product you like, just export it however you want! For this little challenge, I downloaded it as a JPG and then airdropped it to my computer. So easy!!
But if you are new to graphic design and are coming from art, this is the perfect app for you! I learned about this app from a blog post, so I thought I would write about how much I love it as well & how I use it to hopefully help someone else in return.

ATLANTA — Waycross residents would be guaranteed five minutes each to speak in every meeting under legislation introduced Wednesday by Rep. Mark Hatfield.
The Waycross Republican sponsored similar legislation for the City Commission and the Ware County Commission before, but then-Gov. Sonny Perdue vetoed them.
"The real reason behind it was Perdue was mad because I had not supported some of his legislation," Hatfield said. "He was just trying to punish me."
The local officials opposed the measure last time, and they didn't ask for it this year.
"I'm doing it again because I believe very strongly that our constitutional right to redress government means something," he said.
He dismissed the city council's rule that permits public comments for people who sign up in advance. He said that rule is designed to discourage comments. His bill would allow any citizen to request to speak by signing up at the beginning of a meeting, and it would prohibit any commission rule to sign up earlier than the start of the meeting.
Hatfield drafted a bill to require comments at County Commission meetings but decided not to advance it after the commission convinced the legislator that a commission rule would accomplish the same thing.
To pass as local legislation, the bills only need the approval of the lawmakers that represent the area. Since Sen. Greg Goggans, R-Douglas, agreed with the proposal before, he's likely to again.
