I have a question about the difference between general object detectors and specific object detectors.
By specific object detectors, I'm referring to classifiers/object recognizers that are built to recognize a single object, eg. a person, or a vehicle.
By general object detectors, I am referring to algorithms which are trained on a number of different objects (and are therefore able to differentiate between a car, house, person, and banana). Importantly, I am referring here to algorithms that are inherently designed to accommodate many object classes, not merely collections of several specific object detectors put together.
I have an assumption, which is that: Specific object detectors, which are used to recognize a specific object such as a vehicle, are generally more accurate/precise, than the results to be expected from a general object detector which is being used to recognize that same vehicle, given the same amount of space and time.. The reason is that given limitations on space and time, there is only so much that an algorithm can capture. So using a specific object detector for vehicles would be more accurate since the time and space used by the algorithm's training and testing is specialized on vehicles only and is better at this task.... rather than using a general object detector for recognizing those same vehicles.
Put briefly:
"With an increase in the number of objects to recognize, the complexity of models increases, and in accommodating for that, the reduction in accuracy of detection for each individual object also increases."
I've looked for evidence of this assumption but haven't found any yet. And is this assumption true? Is there any evidence to back up whether or not it's true?

It's family values, Mr Clegg
The Lib Dem leader may not like it but some companies prefer to hire their employees' offspring
Finding a job or a work placement through your parents is a bad thing — if you are a politician. Nick Clegg has attacked "sharp-elbowed" middle-class people for using family connections to help get their children work experience. The deputy prime minister urged big companies to make sure that their schemes are open to young people from deprived backgrounds, not just those who are friends or relatives of someone they employ.
From a business perspective, however, using your employees' contacts has a lot to recommend it, according to Debbie Meech, people director at Cable & Wireless Worldwide.
The telecommunications company encourages the parents in its workforce to put their children forward for work experience, internships and graduate jobs.

Throat Scope Posted February 10, 2020 Greetings SLPs, I attended a professional development workshop last week where the speaker passed around a "Throat Scope" for us to examine. It is a lighted tongue depressor, basically, that would work wonderfully during oral peripheral examinations. It has a base that is a flashlight with a clear, disposable tongue depressor. I'm surprised someone hasn't thought of this sooner (maybe they did and I just missed it). Not very expensive; looks like a good investment to me. OralLite also sells one that is a little cheaper. -Shelly Wier Posted January 8, 2020 Get the information you need, and earn ASHA CEUs, with our extensive catalog of credible, curated online content.

New Rules for Student Loan Forgiveness Program Posted November 19, 2019 Arkansas Receives $38 Million Grant to Improve Literacy Posted November 13, 2019 LITTLE ROCK — Gov. Asa Hutchinson and the Arkansas Department of Education are excited to announce that the U.S. Department of Education has awarded Arkansas a five-year grant totaling $38 million to improve literacy in the state. The state received the maximum amount allowed under the grant. ADE has received an initial $1.1 million to begin implementing the grant this year. Ninety-five percent of the funds will be subgranted to districts and communities to improve literacy outcomes for students in preschool through twelfth grade. "It is rewarding to know that the U.S. Department of Education sees the hard work and efforts currently underway here in Arkansas to improve reading instruction," Hutchinson said. "Since launching the statewide reading initiative in 2017, reading instruction has improved, K-12 and higher education partnerships have strengthened, and a culture of reading continues to expand across the state. This literacy grant will expand the successes of our current programs and provide new resources to help ensure all of our students are prepared for the future." With the grant, ADE will implement the Arkansas Comprehensive Literacy State Development Program. The program has four main objectives (listed below), with an emphasis on assisting disadvantaged children (which includes children living in poverty, English learners, and children with disabilities). -Strengthen Arkansas literacy instruction. -Provide Arkansas children access to educational excellence. -Foster collaboration among various stakeholders. -Build a culture of reading. "We are excited about the numerous opportunities this very large grant will bring to Arkansas," ADE Secretary Johnny Key said. "It will allow us to capitalize and build upon the success of our reading initiative and better serve our students. In order for us to lead the nation in student-focused education, we must continue our efforts of collaboration with stakeholder partners, increase access to books in homes, and provide excellent reading instruction. This grant will help not only ADE continue these efforts, it will give schools the opportunity to utilize funds to strengthen their programs as well." ADE and Hutchinson launched the Reading Initiative for Student Excellence, or R.I.S.E. Arkansas, in January 2017. The program's main objectives are to strengthen reading instruction, create community collaboration, and build a culture of reading. Since the campaign's launch, more than 6,000 teachers (kindergarten through sixth grade) have been trained through R.I.S.E. Academies, and more than 3,000 K-12 teachers have received intensive training about the Science of Reading. To meet the grant's objectives, ADE will engage families in reading by providing access to books through a partnership with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, as well as promote reading activities statewide. ADE will expand the development of R.I.S.E. Arkansas activities on the pre-K level and will continue to offer high-quality professional development to support reading instruction throughout all grade levels. A critical component of the grant is creating a network of support for districts by leveraging the roles of higher education institutions to support the Science of Reading implementation at the school level. In addition, competitive grants will be offered to schools and districts to assist with evidence-based literacy instruction, expand collaborative partnerships, and remove barriers to allow students to access reading intervention during the school day. National experts also will be utilized to provide feedback and professional development opportunities for literacy specialists. To learn more about R.I.S.E.

Five Schools to Receive Funding to Operate School-Based Health Centers
LITTLE ROCK — The Arkansas Department of Education, in collaboration with the Arkansas Department of Health and Medicaid in the Schools, selected five Arkansas schools to each receive $540,000 over a five-year period to implement School-Based Health Centers.
The centers, which will be implemented at the following schools, will provide health and wellness services to students, staff, and families beginning in the 2019-2020 school year.
-Booneville Elementary School in the Booneville School District
-Chicot Elementary School in the Little Rock School District
-Fouke Elementary School in the Fouke School District
-Ida Burns Elementary School in the Conway School District
-Rose Bud Elementary School in the Rose Bud School District
"There is a clear, distinct connection between good health and academic achievement," ADE Commissioner Johnny Key said. "These five schools are providing the necessary services to treat not just academic needs but the needs of the whole child. They are to be commended for taking on this effort and serve as another example of how Arkansas is leading the nation in student-focused education."
The schools join 31 other schools around the state that have School-Based Health Centers. The centers remove physical and mental health barriers for students by offering these services on campus. The goal is to help students remain healthy, thus, improving academic achievement and reducing the number of absences due to health issues.
To be selected, applicants undergo a comprehensive, competitive application process, which includes internal and external reviews and an onsite visit. Those awarded grants partner with local health providers to implement three main components of School-Based Health Centers: physical health services, mental and behavioral health services, and school health outreach programs. Many centers also offer additional services such as oral health and optometry services.

Posted April 12, 2019 Increasing Capabilities Access Network (ICAN) is the state Assistive Technology (AT) program for Arkansas. We are able to loan out assistive/adaptive equipment for all areas of support; vision loss, hearing loss, activities of daily life, communication, pediatric, and within the workplace for up to six weeks to any Arkansan! One issue that has been increasingly apparent is that ICAN location is in Little Rock has limited reach outside of that area, which isolates those who simply aren't able to make the commute. We're recognized that need and have now implemented the Assistive Technology Mobile Unit (ATMU) initiative! ICAN is now able to set up a short-term location in the four corners of the state to provide services to people with disabilities. We welcome you to look at the ICAN site for more information on all of the services that ICAN provides - https://ar-ican.org/ and have attached a flyer showing the new ATMU. You can simply email email@example.com or call at 501.666.8868 to schedule a time for the ATMU to come your way. Posted March 7, 2019 You'll need to fill out this application and then either mail it in with a $10 processing fee or go to a federal recreation site in person with proof of disability and residency, in which case you can skip paying the fee and filling out the form. When you do, you'll receive a physical card that can be used for park admission. The pass can be used at over 2,000 Federal recreation sites across the nation. Those include National Parks, National Wildlife Refuges, National Forests, and other federal recreation lands. It also extends that same privilege to everyone in the vehicle with the pass holder.
Features of Explicit Instruction Posted February 26, 2019 This FREE course can be used for professional development on explicit instruction practices. As you apply the lessons, we encourage you to think about how these practices contribute to our State Systemic Improvement Plan work and local efforts to improve outcomes for students with disabilities as part of the Every Student Succeeds Act.
The course content on explicit instruction includes video lectures, instructional examples and non-examples, practice-based opportunities, checks for understanding, companion coaching resources, and more. View the course and explore the available content.
Explicit instruction, identified as a HLP in special education by the CEEDAR Center and CEC, is an evidence-based instructional practice shown to improve outcomes for these students. NCII in partnership with the University of Connecticut, National Center for Leadership in Intensive Intervention, and CEEDAR Center developed professional development course content for in-service and pre-service teachers to ensure that educators are equipped to implement effective explicit instruction.
This course, along with three other courses in the series, were piloted with special educators in Bristol Warren Regional School District in Rhode Island. In this recent voices from the field video, Amy McKenna, one of the special educators who participated in the professional learning, shared the impact that these courses and implementing data-based individualization (including making her instruction more explicit) had on her and her students.
ADE Launches RISE Spotlight Campaign Posted February 5, 2019 LITTLE ROCK — Learning to read is a rewarding experience, but when community partners provide additional support, everyone benefits. To aid in the sharing of best practices and promote community collaboration, the Arkansas Department of Education today launched the R.I.S.E. Spotlight campaign. Through this social media campaign, ADE will shine the R.I.S.E. Spotlight each month on a partner that is actively engaging the community in reading. Gov. Asa Hutchinson and the Arkansas Department of Education launched R.I.S.E. (Reading Initiative for Student Excellence) Arkansas in January 2017. The initiative focuses on three main goals: strengthen reading instruction, create community collaboration, and build a culture of reading. The R.I.S.E. Spotlight campaign focuses on the second goal. "Community support and collaboration is essential to the success of any initiative, and never is that more important than when promoting the importance of reading" Hutchinson said. "Through the R.I.S.E. Spotlight campaign, ADE is highlighting partners who are doing exceptional things to encourage reading in the community. I commend both the department and these partners for sharing best practices, and I encourage others to do the same." AR Kids Read, a nonprofit that connects struggling readers with volunteer tutors, is the first partner organization that will be featured through the R.I.S.E. Spotlight campaign. Information about the organization is available on the ADE website at https://bit.ly/2Tsit8S. ADE also will post and share information each Tuesday on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using #RISEArkansas. Since the launch of R.I.S.E. Arkansas more than 10,000 kindergarten through twelfth-grade teachers around the state have received intensive training in the science of reading instructional practices, and more than 350 schools were named R.I.S.E. Schools for their commitment to promoting a culture of reading. To learn more about R.I.S.E. Arkansas, visit www.risearkansas.org.

Science of Reading: Prescribed Pathways for Proficiency or Awareness Updated January 11, 2019 Prescribed Pathway Credentials "Individuals with CALP or CALT have met Pathway F if they have current IMSLEC certification. It is my understanding that, by law, SLPs must complete the Awareness Pathway only if they are also licensed teachers; however, some districts are requiring all SLPs to complete either the awareness or the proficiency pathway."

* * * Commissioner's Memo #LS-18-090 Act 1063 of 2017, the Right to Read Act, states: "By the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year: A) All teachers employed in a teaching position that requires an elementary education (K-6) license or special education (K-12) license shall demonstrate proficiency in knowledge and practices of scientific reading instruction; and B) All other teachers shall demonstrate awareness in knowledge and practices of scientific reading instruction." The Arkansas Department of Education has established the following pathways for teachers who must demonstrate Proficiency or Awareness in scientific reading instruction. The most up to date information related to Arkansas' implementation of the Prescribed Pathways Credentials, including the attached documents, can be found at www.risearkansas.org. Prescribed Pathways for Proficiency Credential: All teachers employed in a teaching position that requires an elementary education (K-6) license or special education (K-12) license shall demonstrate proficiency in knowledge and practices of scientific reading instruction by completing both phases of one of the Prescribed Pathways for Proficiency (attached). This includes any teacher employed in grades K-6 teaching English Language Arts, Math, Science or Social Studies. Other non-core academic areas in K-6 must show awareness in the Science of Reading (e.g., Art, Music, PE, Library Media, Counselor, Administrators). Phase I outlines professional learning that meets the knowledge and practices in scientific reading instruction approved by the ADE. Phase II provides for demonstration of knowledge and practices in scientific reading instruction. Districts may submit a request for specific training from an Independent Professional Development (IPD) provider be reviewed by ADE for approval. The district is responsible for submitting all requested information and materials using the IPD Review Form (attached). This is NOT a review of the curriculum program but rather the training program provided for teachers. If an IPD training program is approved, it will be added to the Prescribed Pathways for Proficiency list for the state. Requests will not be accepted directly from a vendor. Detailed instructions can be found on the IPD Review Form. Questions regarding the content components of the review process should be directed to Sandy Shepard, Lead Regional R.I.S.E. Specialist at 501-682-9961 or email@example.com. Prescribed Pathways for Awareness Credential: All other teachers (e.g., 7-12 Content Specific, Coaches, Library Media Specialists, Career and Technical Education, Counselors, Administrators) shall demonstrate an awareness in knowledge and practices in scientific reading instruction by completing one of the Prescribed Pathways for Awareness (attached). Attachments LS-18-090--Proficiency_Pathways.pdf LS-18-090--IPD_Review_Form.xlsx LS-18-090--Awareness_Pathways.pdf Consideration of Procedures for IEP Students on AMI Days Posted April 26, 2018 The initial applications for Alternative Methods of Instruction (AMI) did not contain language seeking assurances that students with disabilities, as outlined in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), will continue to receive appropriate special education services when AMI is implemented. In order to ensure that students with disabilities continue to receive appropriate services, districts should establish procedures that outline how the district will continue to provide students with individualized education programs (IEPs) access to a free appropriate public education (FAPE) when AMI is in place. These procedures are for district use and not required to be sent to the Arkansas Department of Education for approval. The impact of AMI needs to be considered for each child based on their individual needs and how they will access the special education services and supports outlined in their IEP. IEP teams are encouraged to discuss the impact of AMI as annual review meetings occur. If special education services and supports are not provided when AMI is implemented, IEP teams must consider the impact on performance and expected progress for each child on a case-by-case basis and determine whether make-up services are necessary. Please do not hesitate to contact the ADE Special Education unit, Yvonne Greene, Administrator for Monitoring and Program Effectiveness regarding questions pertaining to AMI days and special education at 501-682-4322. For related services that a child may miss during an AMI day, the team will need to review overall progress for the student and determine if the missed services need to be made up. This again, is a case-by-case basis. Arkansas Speech-Language Pathology Tuition Reimbursement Program Updated October 31, 2017
The Arkansas Department of Education, Special Education Unit (ADE-SEU) sets aside a portion of its federal discretionary funds to address personnel shortages in Arkansas public schools. This year ADE-SEU is supporting Local Education Agencies' (LEAs) recruitment and retention efforts by providing these funds to Education Service Cooperatives (ESCs) in order to implement programs aimed at recruitment, retention, and mentoring of special education personnel, including speech/language pathologists. No further applications are being accepted for the speech/language pathologist tuition reimbursement program.

Reading Initiative for Student Excellence Posted February 3, 2017 Gov. Hutchinson, ADE Launch Reading Initiative LITTLE ROCK — Gov. Asa Hutchinson and the Arkansas Department of Education are excited to announce the R.I.S.E. (Reading Initiative for Student Excellence) Arkansas reading initiative. R.I.S.E. Arkansas will build a culture of reading through stakeholder collaboration and provide additional instructional support to current and future teachers. "Reading and literacy skills are vital for success in the classroom and life in general," Gov. Asa Hutchinson said. "For students looking toward a degree or new career path, high-level literacy skills are essential. For these reasons, I am pleased to support Commissioner Key and the Department of Education's R.I.S.E. Arkansas campaign to increase student success and build a culture of reading throughout Arkansas." Based on 2015 ACT Aspire results, 48.6 percent of Arkansas' students in grades three through 10 were proficient in English language arts. A total of 39 percent of Arkansas' graduating seniors met reading readiness benchmarks on The ACT in 2015. Nationally, Arkansas ranks in the lower third of states in reading on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The goal of the campaign is to increase the number of students in grades three through eight who meet the ACT Aspire reading readiness benchmark by 10 percent within three years; rise above the bottom third in state comparisons within five years on the fourth-grade NAEP reading assessment; and increase the number of graduates meeting The ACT reading readiness benchmark by 10 percent within five years. The R.I.S.E. Arkansas campaign will enhance and expand existing efforts by the Arkansas Department of Education and school districts to support literacy in schools. Many secondary schools across the state have adopted Literacy Design Collaborative practices as an instructional model. High schools also are providing transitional courses for students who need additional support in rigorous course work prior to graduation. Arkansas has adopted new English language arts and literacy standards for grades kindergarten through 12 and continues to provide support and additional resources for educators. The state recognizes the need to do more in the area of literacy to accomplish these goals. R.I.S.E. Arkansas emphasizes the importance of building a culture of reading, educating parents about the importance of reading, and increasing access to books at home. In addition, the campaign will focus on increasing the depth of knowledge for teachers in the science of reading and expanding their understanding of phonics and phonological awareness, as well as how that knowledge impacts fluency, vocabulary, comprehension and writing. The science of reading, going beyond the five components outlined in the National Reading Panel Report 2010, provides educators with the scientific research and knowledge of how a student actually learns to read. "I was blessed to be raised in a home where reading was emphasized and encouraged, and to this day I love to read," ADE Commissioner Johnny Key said. "Reading opens doors to knowledge and enjoyment. Reading opens doors to our past, helps us understand our present and guides us to our future. Reading opens doors to a richer life. Through this initiative, we are committed to helping every student obtain the reading skills necessary to achieve success in school, but beyond that, giving them the opportunity to realize that richer life. Through placing the highest priority on reading instruction, teacher development and strengthening our partnerships, we will build a strong culture of reading in Arkansas and transform the state to lead the nation in student-focused education." R.I.S.E. Academy Teachers in the primary grades must have an in-depth understanding of phonics and phonemic awareness to support beginning readers. Intermediate level teachers also need this knowledge to provide support to struggling readers and help independent readers decode multi-syllabic words and have a basis for understanding the English language. Reading professional development has focused on a general scope of basic reading skills; however, a strong foundation in phonics is necessary to move students forward in their reading. Students will rely on these foundational phonics skills, especially in the intermediate grades, to read fluently and comprehend complex text. This summer ADE will launch the R.I.S.E. Academy to support kindergarten through second-grade teachers for the 2017-18 school year. Education service cooperatives and several school districts will host the academies. ADE is currently providing training to more than 80 literacy specialists to assist with the academies this summer. Forty of these specialists will become lead trainers who will facilitate the academies and provide support for approximately 1,000 educators who teach grades kindergarten through second for the 2017-18 school year. ADE specialists, higher education representatives, and state and district literacy specialists will provide regional support networks for each cohort group. This year-long blended learning professional development will provide educators with in-depth information related to the science of reading, evidence-based instructional strategies and how to make data-based decisions for students. Participants will receive coaching and opportunities for collaboration with other educators. The R.I.S.E. Academy will expand to train educators in grades three through 12 in 2018-19. The academy also will include an administrator training. The administrator training will focus on reading supports and resources necessary to implement an effective reading program within the school, building foundational knowledge related to the science of reading and instructional components that should be evident during classroom observations. Continued Collaboration ADE will continue to collaborate with community, business and education partners, including higher education, to improve instruction for future teachers to promote a deeper understanding of the science of reading. ADE also will collaborate with the DHS Early Childhood Division to promote the importance of early literacy instruction for students in preschool before entering kindergarten. Literacy is not only for those in education but also for all Arkansans. Business and community partnerships are critical to promoting the culture of reading within the state and providing access to books in the home. School districts are encouraged to begin planning local reading campaigns. Additional materials and resources will be provided this spring to school districts so they can launch their own campaign or build upon an existing reading campaign this fall. Bridge of Vocabulary: Top Seven Strategies Posted January 20, 2017 This course will demonstrate how to integrate evidence-based practice with short, focused, high energy vocabulary exercises for K-12 students. Learning how to increase the number of new words in therapy or in the classroom will also be discussed.

The site features content on clinical and professional issues for audiologists and speech language pathologists! Posted July 28, 2016 From the Introduction: "In December 2015, President Barack Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Public Law 114-95, into law. This new major federal K–12 law replaces the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). ESSA allows for greater flexibility for states to create their own accountability systems, academic goals, reporting, and other requirements. Although the 2016–2017 school year is a transitional year from NCLB to ESSA, ESSA will take full effect beginning with the 2017–2018 school year. ESSA contains many new opportunities for ASHA's school-based audiologists and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to • consult with state and local leaders when developing their state plan; • access more professional learning opportunities; • play a greater role in literacy in the early grades; • develop more comprehensive early intervening and multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) for struggling students. ESSA requires states to develop new plans for how they will implement the law. The law requires the state to consult with various stakeholders, including those representing specialized instructional support personnel (SISP)—a designation that includes audiologists and SLPs, among other school-based professionals. Therefore, ASHA members will have the opportunity to play an important role in providing information to the states as they develop their plans related to professional learning, literacy, and early intervening services and assessments of children with disabilities. This analysis contains 11 key topic areas that ASHA members should pay close attention to as the law is implemented at the state and local levels: 1. Implementation Timeline 2. State Plans 3. Funding Analysis 4. Alternate Achievement Standards for Students With the Most Significant Cognitive Disabilities (1%) 5. Specialized Instructional Support Personnel (SISP) 6. Literacy 7. Early Intervening Services and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support 8. Professional Learning 9. Professional Accountability 10. Dyslexia 11. Early Childhood Grants Each topic area comprises (a) a general overview section with citations from ESSA; (b) a description of the impact that these provisions may have on ASHA members; and (c) additional resources. Where appropriate, vignettes or scenarios will be provided to help members understand how the law may affect them as practitioners. This document also contains a listing of key ASHA staff in case members feel the need to reach out for additional guidance. In addition, there is a listing of some key external resources that ASHA members can explore to better understand the broader impact of ESSA." [Click here or title above] New E-Book Now Available Posted May 26, 2016 A new e-book titled Interprofessional Education and Interprofessional Practice in Communication Sciences and Disorders: An Introduction and Case-Based Examples of Implementation in Education and Health Care Settings is available for free download on ASHA's website. The e-book, a Special Interest Group Reader, was edited by Alex Johnson with contributions from Patricia Prelock, Kenn Apel, Jeffrey J. DiGiovanni, John W.

OSEP Reaffirms Guidance on Missed Services Posted February 2, 2016 The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), U.S. Department of Education (ED), has reaffirmed its 2007 guidance letter to ASHA on missed related services in school settings. In a communication to state special education directors, OSEP reiterated that the determination of whether an interruption in services constitutes a denial of a free appropriate public education is an individual determination that must be made on a case-by-case basis. Background As some speech-language pathologists (SLPs) working in school settings continue to experience concerns about blanket policies for making up missed services, ASHA recently lobbied OSEP for additional assistance in reaffirming its 2007 letter on this issue to state special education directors. OSEP's 2007 guidance letter was in response to a letter from ASHA seeking clarification on how to handle missed sessions when speech-language pathology services are missed due to the child's absence from school, cancellation for a class or school activity (e.g., field trip, assembly), or absence of the SLP due to illness or family emergency.

20Q with Aaron Lemke / Unello Design
Welcome to our weekly feature where we ask some of the industry's leading developers and personalities 20 questions.
This week we chat to Eden River developer Aaron Lemke.
State Your Name:
Aaron Lemke
What is your current Job / Role ?
Founder/Lead Developer/Composer Unello Design
What are you most famous for ?
What is currently on the desk in front of you ?
Headphones, a usb keyboard, a pile of Samsung phones, a bunch of guitar picks and audio adaptors, a camera, a list of things I need to do today, a leaf that i thought was pretty.
What was your first VR experience ?
Team Fortress 2
Did you feel any sim sickness or do you ever feel any sim sickness ?
I do if the game is designed wrong, or if the hardware has too much latency.
What's the longest amount of time you have spent in VR in one play session ?
About an hour.
What's the strangest experience you have had with VR ?
Once when I was in Seattle I tried full body motion capture VR system. I had to wear the ball suit and everything. It gave you a 1 to 1 virtual avatar. Its hard to explain how powerful this was. It really made an impact on me, and it's nothing like what any of the current hardware can give you. I think avatars are going to be more important than environments in VR.
What's the funniest experience you have had with VR ?
I made a prototype for DK1 where yelling would shoot stuff out of your mouth. Like orange juice boxes and golf balls and small boats and trees. It felt like you were barfing trash.
kinda like this:
What game or hardware device are you currently working on ?
Mainly focused on Gear VR right now.
Do you have a release date in mind for your project ?
What is the biggest surprise you have had since you started to work in VR ?
How very simple things can feel very powerful in VR.
If you could only choose one game from your childhood to be remade for VR what would it be ?
Besides games what do you think will be the most useful application for VR ?
What advice would you give to people on how to get into VR development ?
Just start doing it. Copy stuff you like.
What is your favorite VR related movie ?
The Matrix
If you had a crystal ball and could see 10 years into the future what developments in VR do you think will have happened?
All hardware will be the same specs. Augmented Reality could be bigger than VR.
Outside of VR what do you do to relax ?
Listen to music.
What's your current favorite VR experience that you have not developed your self ?
Sum up how you feel about Virtual Reality in 6 words or less ?
Humanity's most powerful tool.

GeneralOreo4 (On canadian, {}Oreo{}4) Is a hacker on canadian msp, and maybe other servers. her status reads love ya all for life btw whoever lets me buy them vip will get an iphone x in the mail january 20th As you can tell she really wants to hack, she is also a scammer, she says if you give her V.I.P she will give you a level 76 account. There is no level 76 account on canadian that is existing and if there is, whats the proof it is hers? I have tried reporting Oreo but MSP doesnt care. Or DO ANYTHING! They ignore the report. (What do we expect? They pretend hackers are not real but CLEARLY THEY ARE xD)
The story
Oreo use to be a normal girl, no hacking, then an unknown hacker took the account, the old owner cried over it, it was level 16 (Still is) and the new hacker is on a hacking spree. (Info gotten from the old owner, her new user is {}Oreo{}bae)
She usually wears the look in the picture, but if she changes her look, it would probably be something with blonde hair, bear ears, or no change at all.
THIS GIRL FREAKING HACKED ME, SNOWYRING123 SHE HACKED MY LEVEL 13 MAIN ACCOUNT FG8IOPOGU - Snowyring123 (Me) | How she hacks is she will ask you if you want vip, if you say no, she will make a new account, give it V.I.P and say she gave them vip, if you look closely, they have the same writing skills (She did this with an account called CookieTurtle) After she convinces you (She puts 1 week V.I.P on the account and or hacks the old owner, idk) Then when shes on, changes your password, blocks you, and humiliates you. And claims the account as her own. If you go to her guestbook, she has hacked LOTS of people, even her artbooks are lies.
Honestly, just don't trust her, she will take your account.

Still not voting…
At the beginning of the Month, I wrote 'No, I will not vote in an Election where there isn't an option for change. Why would I?'
With three weeks gone and two more to go until the Election on Thursday 12th December, I have to say that I feel very much the same.
It's not that there hasn't been any change. There has.
But the change that has happened has been peripheral or aesthetic at best.
The good that might come from the adjustments within the political landscape that have taken place within this Campaign will not have come about not by design or intention, but rather by default.
With 15 days to go, the biggest issue on everyone's mind today, is the Interview that Jeremy Corbyn gave to Andrew Neil last night. It followed a day where Labour's choreographed plan for a day focused on their 'ambitious Race and Faith Manifesto' was utterly destroyed by the article written by the Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and published in yesterday's Times, explaining exactly why people should redirect their vote.
The Interview itself simply evolved a terrible day into a complete nightmare for the Labour Leader as he effectively refused to apologise for the anti-Semitism within the Labour Party and what the Party has done in response.
The Tories are riding high. And with the latest polls now suggesting that the gap between the Conservatives and Labour is closing, the fall out from this debacle is almost certain to ensure that the polling will quickly start to go the other way.
Or at least that is until Boris sits in front of AF Neil himself whenever that might be agreed and then be.
The big problem is that the Conservatives are riding a wave that doesn't have defining Public Policy as its root cause.
Labour's downward trajectory and overkill with its great electoral giveaway of 2019 aside, the biggest boon to Boris Johnson's position has been the decision from Nigel Farage to remove so many of the Brexit Party's Candidates from competing against Tory Candidates in Seats where the Conservatives won in the 2017 Campaign.
On the face of it, Farage did this to avoid the risk of Jeremy Corbyn walking into No10.
Yet his hybrid approach of standing Brexit Party Candidates pretty much everywhere else does have the distinctive whiff of the whole effort the Brexit Party is making being not about Brexit itself, but about gaining at least a foothold of control.
The lie itself is given by Farage's suggestion during the Press Conference at the time that Boris had done enough with the pledges he had made about Brexit in the video that had been released the day before.
To some, it will come as little surprise that recent days have brought stories to the fore, that Farage has no plans to go anywhere. That his next mission will be to rebrand the Brexit Party and transform it into a political vehicle that will drive political reform.
The problem for Farage with this is that apart from the reality he has to now face that as a figurehead and leader he is no longer likely to be trusted, any Party that can be identified as being about nothing else other than Leaving the EU itself is likely to be as divisive as Jo Swinson and the Liberal Democrats have been by rejecting the need to find a pathway that will bring all sides together and committing themselves to cancel Brexit and promise that under their influence the UK will categorically Remain.
To its credit, the Brexit Party has demonstrated that it is possible to bring people, politicians and pubic figures from all political backgrounds together to work as one.
But the 'Contract' that they have published instead of a manifesto for this General Election tells us that the leadership of the Party is still thinking about politics in exactly the same way as the leadership of all of the other Political Parties who have contributed to the political crisis that we are experiencing and not least of all the Brexit Divide.
We now look two weeks ahead to an Election Result where Boris is still likely one-way-or-another to be our PM.
But being PM with a majority that is likely to lead to a clean, no deal Brexit by default within 12 months is a lot different to the situation that Boris will face if he is returned as Prime Minister with similar numbers of MPs in Parliament to what we have experienced since 2017 – where the majority present is most likely to still be pushing for further delays, obfuscation and what they will only accept as being a very open form of Remain.
The chaos that follows any of the scenarios that appear to be likely and unfolding from this vantage point in time will not improve things. It is likely to only make things a whole lot worse.
Whilst I and many others would like to see reason for hope that any of the Political Parties we have today and running in this Election could become the catalyst for wide-ranging change, once we have brought everyone back together again by really getting Brexit done, I'm afraid that paying lip service to the change that the UK desperately now needs simply isn't enough for me to vote for any Candidate or Political Party that is involved.
These are dangerous days for our democracy and freedoms. What our public un-representatives do now will have implications that go way beyond Brexit and could result in life changing for us all
There's nothing quite like a double whammy to hit home a point.
In the past 24 hours, both the Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn and Leader of the Liberal Democrats Jo Swinson have made public statements of intent for what they plan for the weeks that follow, and nobody watching all of the responses to Brexit by Boris should be under any illusion that there is anything genuinely altruistic in these highly political approaches and what they tell us these left-wing Leaders believe the opportunity it presents to be there for.
Were the consequences for us all not carrying the potential to be so severe, we might all sit back and have a laugh at everything these two, very self-interested politicians have to say.
Brexit has already been decided and the mandate given by the People for the UK to Leave the EU, come what may. There was no requirement given that there must be any kind of deal before we leave. The choice was black and white: Stay or Leave – and the choice was made that the UK must be gone.
Yet to hear Jo Swinson speak this morning, you would be forgiven for thinking – and yes, even believing that events had actually turned out another way. You cannot fault the Lib Dem Leader's passion for stopping Brexit as her cause. That is if you had been in some parallel universe where the result to the 2016 European Referendum was actually different; a majority of British People voted to Remain, and the side that Swinson and her not-so Liberal Democrats had actually won.
Just to confirm, they didn't. It didn't happen. And what we are seeing is a political master class in storytelling and reinventing the narrative. The very same reasons that when it came to Brexit, the People Voted to Leave the EU and on the part of these MPs, the so far shameless excuse for acting upon democratic instruction and dragging it out for over 3 years was begun.
Swinson will clearly be the darling the EU and fill the vacancy in the public spotlight of British Politics that was vacated by Theresa May. On their own, the Liberal Democrats represent everything that the hopes and fears of a political no-mans land can offer, where idealism can bounce around unhindered because practicality never gets in the way. Yet their thirst for power is real, and with the hope that they can break the stranglehold of the only electoral system that works for a democratic majority, they may soon decide that a deal with the devil in the shape of a coalition with Corbyn's Labour isn't something that will actually hinder their way.
Although the tabling of a No-Confidence Vote in Boris' new Administration has been the talk of the Town since he arrived in No10, the publication of Corbyn's request to all opposition Party Leaders and those MPs opposing Boris to make him Prime Minister temporarily, should be the wake up call and warning bell for everyone that we could now be a matter of days away from having a Marxist Prime Minister.
And whilst those MPs that remain hell-bent on overturning the will of the People at any cost may now feel that giving Corbyn the keys to No10 would only be a stepping stone to finally getting their own way, their selfishness would only be outdone by the stupidity of them giving power to someone that once they have it, will never respect the will of the people or our constitution – assumed or otherwise – ever again.
From that point of view alone, for those who have done so much to frustrate and overturn the will of the People, the outcome for them might be viewed as being very sweet.
But these MPs and the Corbyns and the Swinsons and all the other objectors to democratic reasoning amongst them are only a matter of a few hundred in number, whilst their actions will impact upon 60 Million People or more.
The problem is that Boris is doing nothing to counter the problem that the Remain-led Parliament presents. And he is instead doing everything that he possibly can to bait them. That's people who on this side of power have egos that are aflame as the result of such intransigence and on the other side, are likely to be ultimately responsible for having a gun put to his head.
A General Election has now gone beyond being favourable for the right outcome. It has become a necessity instead.
And within that it is essential that those lined up against those who have become intoxicated by what they see as the promise of power, have their arguments devalued by the promise of a new politics that shows capitalism – whilst essential to any country that wants to get on – can also be caring and considerate, and that there are ethical ways for people and businesses to behave that mean everyone has the opportunities that are right for them. But above all, that there is a much better and inclusive way for politics in this Country to be done.
If none of our politicians now see the risk that all of their behaviour and choices not to be responsible has created, it may now be inevitable that this Country is about to experience a period of significant darkness – all because our political classes think that they are in post by god-given right, and that when you have power, they are the only ones right about anything and there simply is no other way.

We don't have lynch at school.Even though there are markets and backeries i bring food from home.Because the markets are too exspensive and there is always a hole line of students waiting.Today i didn't brought lynch .But i usually bring a sandwich.
Jump to navigation
All through my years at school, from my first day in reception to the last day of my final exams, I have always taken packed lunches to school. Usually, school meals are horrible – very unhealthy and not very tasty! So I took my own instead of eating the salty chips, overcooked vegetables and questionable meat served in the cafeteria.
However, although packed lunches were the best option, they do tend to get very boring. After my last day at school when I was 18, I threw my lunch box in the bin with joy. I thought that when I left high school, I would be free of packed lunches forever. I was so excited at never having to eat another ham and cheese sandwich.
However, when I arrived at university I realised that I lived a 30 minute walk from the library which was too far to go home for lunch every day. So I had to start taking a packed lunch to eat while I was studying, because it was much too expensive to buy meals from the library cafe every day.
This year, when I moved to France, I once again thought that I had put the days of plastic containers and carrot sticks behind me. But once again, I was wrong. Often, I spend a whole day at the same school, which means I have to bring lunch with me if I don't want to be very hungry by the end of the day! I started the year as normal, with cold sandwiches made of sliced bread, ham and cheese – not very interesting at all. But soon I made the decision to find more interesting ways to have lunch away from home. I had to find something new to eat or I would go mad!
I have started experimenting with different lunches. Sometimes I put the same sandwich filling in a wrap or a pitta bread to make it more interesting. Sometimes I bring leftover curry or pasta from my dinner the night before. Sometimes I make myself a pizza instead of a sandwich. Luckily, all the staff rooms have microwaves, so I can eat everything hot. It has become a fun challenge to find something new and exciting to make every day for lunch: although sometimes, when I'm feeling very lazy, I do have a classic ham and cheese sandwich!
We don't have lynch at school.Even though there are markets and backeries i bring food from home.Because the markets are too exspensive and there is always a hole line of students waiting.Today i didn't brought lynch .But i usually bring a sandwich.
In my country we don't have cafeterias in the schools. When we have a break from the classes we eat something that we buy from the near bakery, fast food or super market, but sometimes it happens someone to bring food prepared at home.
Today I ate grapes for lunch.
I don´t have for luch at school but yes at home.
Today have for lunch meatball whit pasta and bread.
I had roast beaf sandwich today. It was very delicious. My mom made me for lunch at school! ツ
I have lunch in my house.
Pasta lunch today
We don't have lunch at school.
Pizza lunch today.
I lunch at home but I usually use my lunch box 'cause I've got a lot of things to do xD. Today I have a beef with salad 4 lunch.
I have lunch in my home. Today I lunch salad whit meat
I lunch at house. To the leave the schol the 12:30 a.m
I not lunch at school because we left at 12:30 am and my house is not far away. And no lunch at our school.
Here I am who always bring lunch if I have to study all day at school. I live far from my school, it takes me an hour to get to school by bus. So I have to wake up at 5AM (school starts at 7), rush to have breakfast and pack the lunch that I made the night before. My friends told me to buy lunch from the cafeteria but I want to save the money. Besides cooking for my own is a way to improve my cooking skill. And the meal would be more nutritious. The thing I don't like is my menu kind of simple just like you. It includes rice, vegetables and meat, it can be beef, pork, chicken, fish, shrimp. The second things I don't like that preparing lunch (and other meals) takes time. But I think it's worth!
I carried lunch box to school with but someone stole my lunch box
I dont know why but this made me laugh lol :D
I am lunch at school rarely. I prefer to eat in My Home and I can back from school at 15.45pm. Sorry if you don't understand it.
Well I have my lunch at home. Here in most of the Asian countries our main meal is rice and curry, so I guess it's rice and curry for very lunch, every day.
Ours are rice and fish.

You pay off your mortgage regularly but how much do you actively take an interest in how it could be working better for you? We often take a bit of a set-and-forget approach to our home loans once they're set up, and then we only review them when it comes time to refix. But could you benefit from having a review sooner than this? Here are a few reasons why you might be due for a mortgage review.
You could get a better interest rate
Although people tend to wait until their fixed term is up to look at changing their interest rates, you might actually benefit from a review of your current rates to see what's available now, especially if you had fairly high rates when you last fixed your mortgage. If you do switch to another bank or lender to take advantage of lower rates, bear in mind that there could be some break fees and administration costs involved, but our mortgage team can weigh up the pros and cons for you so you get the best deal!
You've had/will have some lifestyle changes
Whether you've recently gotten married, had a baby or you're planning for retirement, your mortgage should be able to change with you and your needs when your lifestyle changes. It's a good idea to have a mortgage review if your circumstances have changed, especially financially, because you may be able to find a better repayment structure elsewhere. By chatting to the experts who have helped out home owners in every situation, you can get some great recommendations for how you should handle your home loan to make it easier for you.
You have a lot of debt
A mortgage is a significant debt to have on its own, let alone if you have other debt that you need to pay off too. If you have a bit of credit card or personal loan debt that you can't seem to shake, it's a good idea to have a review of your mortgage payments, but also your finances in general to see how you might be able to consolidate any debt and manage your payments more effectively. If you have the right mortgage structure for your situation, your payments should be easier to manage so make sure you talk to our team to see how you can feel more comfortable with your mortgage loan.
You want to start some renovations
Depending on how much equity you have in your home, you may be able to use that to help you out with any home renovations you might need to undertake. Renovations can be quite costly but they can also increase the value of your home overall so it's a good idea to have a review to see how much equity you currently have and whether you could use it for something like that. You can also use your equity to finance another home to increase your property portfolio so it's worth checking out!
If you'd like to take a look over your current mortgage situation, get in touch and our friendly mortgage team can sort out a free, no-obligation review for you!

Who will be the Washington Nationals' closer in 2017?
The Washington Nationals' winter-long search for a closer has seen the team connected to elite relievers and reclamation projects alike.
But with pitchers and catchers set to report to spring training in two weeks, Dusty Baker is no closer to knowing who he'll hand the ball to in the ninth inning in 2017.
MORE: When do pitchers and catchers report? 2017 MLB spring training reporting dates
After striking out on multiple high-profile options early in the offseason, the Nationals on Tuesday announced they have signed Joe Nathan, who turned 42 in November, to a minor-league contract. The veteran right-hander has 377 career saves, but after pitching in 11 major-league games over the past two seasons, he can't be relied upon as anything more than a low-risk flyer for Washington heading into spring training.
How did the Nationals get here?
All indications are they wanted to keep Mark Melancon, who finished 2016 as Washington's closer after coming over from Pittsburgh at the trade deadline, but he signed a four-year, $62 million deal with the Giants in December.
Around that time, the Nationals lost out to the Cubs in attempting to pry All-Star Wade Davis from the Royals in a trade.
Kenley Jansen then revealed that he was close to taking the Nationals' four-year offer in December before the Dodgers upped the ante to five years, $80 million, compelling him to stay in L.A.
The Nationals even missed out on Davis' predecessor with the Royals, Greg Holland, who missed all of 2016 after having Tommy John surgery. He signed with the Rockies last week.
While Nathan seems unlikely to be the answer — though he does have a history with both Baker and pitching coach Mike Maddux — the Nationals appear set to head to camp with in-house options the main focus for ninth-inning duties.
Shawn Kelley saved seven games last season (while sporting an impressive 80-to-11 strikeout-to-walk ratio) and would appear to be the early favorite, though Blake Treinen could also get a look. The Washington Post also reported recently that Koda Glover could get a look as the closer at some point, though he is coming off a hip injury and has pitched fewer than 20 innings in the majors.
The notion of the closer role has taken a beating in analytics-oriented baseball circles, but those in the dugout and bullpen still prefer to know who's going to get the ball when. With the Nationals this spring, that's anyone's guess.
