Best games for Apple TV (2017)
05 Oct 2017 |
Apple TV is no match for PlayStation or Xbox but the game library is growing steadily and some titles are definitely worth checking out. We have made a list of the best games that we have discovered. The Silent Age tops our list.
Nostalgia and originality
With a wireless game controller in hand Apple TV feels almost like a game console. We say "almost" because many games have limitations that Apple is partly responsible for. You can play many games with the Siri Remote but we are using the SteelSeries Nimbus, which resembles the PlayStation DualShock and Xbox controller in layout.
There are several good games to explore, including some great ones – as long as you keep your expectations in check. Games are not as expansive and as ambitious as the ones for PS4 and Xbox One but they are still rooted in great storytelling and at times even impressive graphics.
The list is based on our time with Apple TV4. No games take advantage of the A10X chip in Apple TV 4K yet. We'll publish an updated list next year.
1. The Silent Age
In our favorite game for Apple TV you control caretaker Joe who unwillingly embarks on a quest to save mankind. He receives a message from a dying man from the future and shortly after discovers that he has gained the unique ability to travel between past (1972) and present (2012). Music/ambience is fantastic and the story quickly draws you in. It is a memorable game, which is worthy of even PlayStation and Xbox. The game was developed by the House of Fire. You can play it with the Siri Remote but we recommend a game controller.
$4.99 on
tvOS App Store
2. Machinarium
A classic adventure game that is also available on other platforms such as PlayStation. You control a small, irresistible robot through a charming metal world where puzzles of varying complexity are to be solved. The level of difficulty is sufficiently high that some of the puzzles make your head spin. There is no dialogue but the atmosphere is still very unique and enjoyable. It has been developed by Amanita Design who has released other wonderful games (i.e. Samorost 3) for iPhone/iPad but not yet Apple TV.

tvOS App Store
3. Rayman Adventures If you have enjoyed Rayman in the past, you will love the modern take on the game. We are definitely not the first to recommend Rayman Adventures on Apple TV but it has a special magic to it and is highly entertaining. The game is free on Apple TV and even though the game developer is eager to sell you in-app stuff you can enjoy the game without buying anything. The level of complexity increases as you reach new levels and there is lots of variation, too.

tvOS App Store
4. Alto's Adventure
A snowboard game in the 'endless runner' category where the landscape changes in random ways for each run. There are beautiful moments and challenges to accomplish but no deeper meaning. As you glide through the landscape you can collect money that you can use to upgrade gear. It is what we would call an ego game but one of the best in the genre – and it feels like it was created for the big screen even though it was launched first on iPhone/iPad. The next version will be called Alto's Odyssey.
$4.99 on
tvOS App Store
5. Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse
You may already be familiar with the Broken Sword series from the 90's. This is a classic adventure-style game that in some ways resembles Monkey Island. The fifth game in the series is out on PS4, Xbox One and of course Apple TV. You are tasked with solving a murder in Paris that evolves into an exciting adventure. It is divided into 2 episodes.
$6.99 + $5.99 on
tvOS App Store
6. Badland 2
A simple but entertaining game where you navigate a small flying creature through a world of obstacles in beautiful, imaginative settings. If you liked the first game, Badland 2 is for you. Again, this is an ego game but good fun on a lazy weekend. It is one of the few games that work very well with the Siri Remote so start playing now.
$3.99 on
tvOS App Store
7. Leo's Fortune
A recent game in the classic platform genre where a small fluffy creature takes the role as our hero. As the game scrolls from left to right you have to avoid obstacles in a beautiful fantasy world on the quest to find stolen gold. It is entertaining and gets harder as you go to ensure that you stay engaged. It offers several hours of fun but as a game concept it has all been seen before.
$4.99 on
tvOS App Store
8. Lara Croft GO
This is not a classic Tomb Raider 3D game but instead a puzzle game where you make one move at a time to lead Lara Croft through a world of dangers. The game is also available on PlayStation but looks just a good on Apple TV. It has won a bunch of prices but prepare yourself for the fact that it is relatively short.
$4.99 on
tvOS App Store
9. Broken Age
By the legendary Tim Schafer (Grim Fandango) and realized as a Kickstarter project, Broken Age is a 2-episode point-and-click adventure set in beautiful world. You control 2 characters that are chained together in the same tale, and along the way you have to solve riddles. The game looks great and you encounter funny characters but it can at times by a bit too monotonous and some of the riddles are so illogical that they almost cannot be solved without a walkthrough.
$4.99 on
tvOS App Store
10. Agent A: A puzzle in Disguise
A game in the adventure genre created in a 3D world, inspired by comics and set in a retro 60'er world. You control Agent A, a secret agent who has to catch an evil spy. You are tasked with solving riddles and are sometimes interrupted by small video sequences that help lift the story. It looks good and is fun to play but it is relatively short. More episodes have been added since launch.

No defining game for Apple TV
Angry Birds in many ways define the beginning of the iPhone gaming era but there is no such game for Apple TV. There is no defining or "must have" game for Apple TV yet.
Apple's tvOS surely has potential and as the company keeps launching yet more powerful Apple TV hardware, we should start seeing more ambitious games emerge on the platform. Still, where are some of the low hanging fruits? Where is Super Mario run for Apple TV?
We could include a long list of game that should be able to run even on the Apple TV4 hardware (and surely on the Apple TV 4K's A10X chip) and most of these are already available on iOS. These are games such as Limbo, Inside, The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, Grim Fandango, Gemini Rue, Yesterday, Samorost 3, Dead Synchronicity, The Inner World, Yeark Walk, and The Journey Down.
The chip in Apple TV4 sets natural limitations. It is based on the A8 SoC. The new Apple TV 4K has just launched with the A10X Fusion, which is more than 4x as powerful, making it more than double as powerful as the last generation of game consoles (PS4 and Xbox 360), despite only consuming a fraction of the power.

By Hackney Cogs
Create a number of low-cost workspaces for creatives to start and grow their businesses and offer them extra work via a London Cogs Job Board
This project is preparing for fundraising. Click Like to show your support, or Follow for updates on this project's journey.
It's no secret how much it costs to rent office space, and with desks on the rise with places like WeWork taking over with desk spaces starting at £360 per month, it is forcing creative freelancers of all ages back into their homes where productivity ceases. I currently own and run a space so I realise how important spaces like mine are for the creative workforce. Especially for those starting out. My space is low cost in comparison but would love to make it cheaper. With a number of locations around London, I (and a small team) would be able to open coworking studios to give individuals a place to network, be inspired, increase their skill set and receive extra work.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
It's a great idea because it will not only help individuals to promote entrepreneurship and creativity among the younger generation but the economy will also benefit. It's notably recognised that entrepreneurship adds value to national income. It will create a space where people wont feel intimidated by going into a workspace the occupies established companies and those with years of experience. We plan to nurture those that are new to going it alone.
Steps to get it done:

Guatemala is the northernmost country in Central America. The country is limited by Yucatan Peninsula to the North; with Belize, Caribbean Sea, Honduras and El Salvador to the East; with Chiapas to the West, and the Pacific Ocean to the South.
The territory has an extension of 108,889 km2 and can be divided into three regions, the Petén lowlands in the northern part of the country; this is a flat land barely higher than sea level formed by limestone substrate. In the middle of the country, there is a system of mountains and volcanoes with peaks up to 4,220 meters above sea level; the land in the coastal plains in southern Guatemala are lowlands with volcanic soil.
There are 748 bird species recorded in the Guatemala with at least 35 of them with a geographic restriction from southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and part of El Salvador. These species are related to critical regions that have been declared Endemic Bird Areas: The North Central American Pacific Slope and the North Central American Highlands.
Birds in Guatemala are represented by five species considered near endemic of the country, which means that are only found in Guatemala and the Mexican state of Chiapas. In the North Central American Pacific Slope, the representative bird is Azure-rumped Tanager. Birds related to the North Central American Highlands are Horned Guan, Belted Flycatcher, Pink-headed Warbler and Black-capped Siskin.
There are some bird subspecies that some ornithologists recognize as species, from those we can separate them into two groups. The first group is compound of birds widely extended in the Neotropics, but they can't breed with the groups separated by long distances.
Some examples of these birds are:
A second group is formed by migratory bird species that find a reproductive resident population in Guatemala; these birds can't breed with the individuals that are wintering, so the genetic drift goes in different directions and characteristics become so different that you are in trouble trying to compare with the original species.
Two bird species in this situation are:
There's a research work from 2006 with mitochondrial DNA that shows that Goldman's Warbler is not a subspecies from Yellow-rumped Warbler but a species.
So, we have a candidate for a Guatemalan endemic bird in the future.
How many birds are in Guatemala?
There's a lot of work to do in the ornithological field in Guatemala, a very simple question has been difficult to answer: how many birds are in Guatemala?
There is more question to respond: how many of them are resident? How many are migratory? Do we have extinct birds?
With the main purpose to have a solid answer to these questions Bird watching Guatemala team have reviewed historical records, traveled around the country and did research with modern tools like eBird to have a reliable and updated document about the list of birds of Guatemala.
We found 748 bird species properly recorded in 406 genera, these birds are classified in these categories:
Resident: Bird known to breed and stay all year around in the country.
Migratory: Bird is known to remain in the country during winter time.Transient: Bird is known to occur regularly in the country for a short period, during migration journey from breeding to non-breeding territories.
Transient: Bird is known to occur regularly in the country for a short period, during migration journey from breeding to non-breeding territories.
Pelagic: Bird is known to occur in open sea.
Accidental: Bird with a few records in the country.
Summer resident: Bird known to breed in summer months in country.
Extirpated: Bird that is no longer exist in a territory, though it still exists elsewhere.
Extinct: Bird that disappeared completely from nature.

The Patterico Music Project: The Lyrics to "Wrong Side of the Road"
Yesterday I debuted a song written by me in the early 1990s, and recently re-recorded by Steve Bertrand of the great rock group The Tories. In case you haven't heard the song, here it is. It's under three minutes, very upbeat, and Bertrand's production values are absolutely wonderful.
Below are the lyrics to that song. It's a silly but fun song about the dangers of going against the grain. I don't recommend reading them on their own. Instead, you should hit the play button, listen to the song, and read the lyrics as you listen to Steve belt them out.
Headed down the road
Double yellow line on my right
There's cars swervin round me
And the drivers' expressions are
Such a funny sight
On the wrong side of the road
I don't want to take it slower
On the wrong side of the road
I'm hopin I don't get pulled over
I never knew just how much fun it was
On the wrong side of the road.
Well I'm feelin all romantic
Like a salmon swimmin up stream
And I'm driving 'gainst the grayness
Towards the pure white light of someone's
Headlight beams
On the wrong side of the road
There's no need to pretend
On the wrong side of the road
Knowin that your life might end
This is the way to go
Wrong side of the road
Nobody is pretending not to stare
They all know that I'm crazy
Everybody is pretending not to care
Could it be they're too lazy
Or that they're not pretending?
I'm a bit iconoclastic
And I'm cuttin off constraining chains
And I'll show a thing or two
To the people who said that I
Ain't got no brains
On the wrong side of the road
I'm going against the grain
On the wrong side of the road
I'm going through the window pane
I always told the truth
But I ended up lying
On the wrong side of the road
There are some serious metaphors and similes in there, but it's all lighthearted and in good fun. Bonus points for those who identify some of the double meanings in the lyrics. They're kind of obvious but it's still fun to get you looking for them.
Tomorrow I'll let you hear the original recording I made around 1991. It's, um, not as good as Steve's. I'll expound a little bit more on the merits of Steve's production in tomorrow's post, by way of contrast to mine.

So, I strained the blackberry liqueur mash today. As you can see from the before and after pictures, with the berries and zest and all filtered out, the volume is somewhat decreased. It's still a bit cloudy, and I figure that's okay–I used a colander, cheesecloth, and a gold-mesh coffee filter. The next step would have been paper coffee filters, but that would have taken all day and to no great effect.
Recipe here.
And how, you ask, does it taste?
Why, it's terrible! Awful stuff! Vile! If you come to my house, I wouldn't insult you by offering you any. You'd hate it. Really, you would.

(Original story at ABC News here.)
Here is a piece of advice from a former teacher (oh yes, I have been a soldier, a grassroots leader, and a teacher, among other things): Never mock your students. Not to their faces, and also not on Facebook.
Teacher allegedly mocks student on FacebookThursday, March 31, 2011
March 30, 2011 (CHICAGO) (WLS) — Chicago Public Schools is investigating a mother's concerns involving a picture her child's teacher allegedly posted on Facebook.
Ukailya Lofton, 7, says math is her favorite subject. She also likes to dress up. For picture day last week, Ukailya wore Jolly Rancher candies at the end of her braids, a hairstyle she says her computer teacher at Overton Elementary School mocked on Facebook.
"She took a picture of me and then she said my boyfriend can't believe this," Ukailya told ABC7.
"She told me her teacher told her to put her hair in her face and she took out her cell phone and she took a picture, not knowing she was putting my baby on Facebook and criticize her," said Lucinda Williams, mother.
Williams says she copied some of the comments from the teacher's Facebook page. The teacher allegedly wrote, "right, this is for picture day." Then someone commented,"if you are going to make your child look ridiculous, the least you can do is have them matching." Another wrote,"yeah, this is foolishness." And one added, "I laughed so hard that my contact popped out."
"My mama told me she put it on Facebook and then I felt sad," said Ukailya.
A spokesperson for CPS says, "the district is currently investigating the matter to determine if any policies have been violated. If policies have in fact been violated, the district will move on disciplinary action."
Williams says she went to the school and talked with the principal and the teacher. She says the teacher did apologize for her actions, but Williams is not satisfied.
"She never apologized to my daughter. She is still in the school. She wasn't suspended. I mean, it's like nothing happened. She just apologized and that's it. That's not enough," said Williams.
ABC7 was unable to contact the teacher for a comment.
Williams says the teacher told her that she deleted the page, but the mother would like her to apologize to her daughter.
Williams has hired an attorney and on Friday they are planning a news conference and a lawsuit against CPS will be filed that same day.

John Ritter, who played the lovably goofy closet heterosexual Jack Tripper in the television comedy series ''Three's Company,'' a smash hit in the 1970's, died on Thursday night in Burbank, Calif. He was 54.
Mr. Ritter became ill on the set of ''8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter,'' his current series on ABC, and died at a local hospital, Susan Wilcox, his assistant, said in an interview with The Associated Press. The cause was an aortic dissection, a break in the main artery that carries blood from the heart, Ms. Wilcox said.
In ''Three's Company,'' Mr. Ritter's character is the lucky man who shares an apartment with two beautiful women, Chrissy, played by Suzanne Somers, and Janet, played by Joyce DeWitt. A prudish landlord and his sex-starved wife have been told that Jack is gay, allowing the show to offer a weekly dose of innuendo and double meaning, but scant real sex.
Critics decried it as everything from an empty-headed waste of time to a symptom of moral rot, but it quickly became one of the highest-rated programs in television history.
Mr. Ritter won an Emmy and other awards for his performance on ''Three's Company,'' and many viewers and not a few critics acknowledged that he regularly rose above his material.
He used the series, which ran from 1977 to 1984, to carve out an identity that led him to many other roles. He starred in two other sitcoms as well, ''Hooperman'' and ''Hearts Afire.'' He appeared in television movies, mini-series (including Stephen King's ''It'') and feature films (including ''Sling Blade'' and ''Tadpole'').
He popped up on sitcoms like ''Ally McBeal,'' for which he was nominated for an Emmy. He received another Emmy nomination for his role as the voice of Clifford the Big Red Dog on the PBS animated series for children. In 2001, he won a Theater World Award for his Broadway performance with Henry Winkler in ''The Dinner Party.''
''He's the most natural actor I've seen since Jimmy Stewart,'' Peter Bogdanovich, the filmmaker, said in an interview with The New York Times in 1987.
Johnathan Southworth Ritter was born in Burbank on Sept. 17, 1948. His father was the singing cowboy Tex Ritter, and his mother, Dorothy Fay, an actress, became the official greeter at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
''John was always playing a part, even as a little boy,'' his mother said in an interview with TV Guide in 1978. ''When he played baseball he'd pretend that he was one of the Dodger stars, impersonating Don Drysdale or Maury Wills.''
He was student body president at Hollywood High School but spent summers touring with his parents as his father made the rounds of the nation's fairgrounds and rodeos. When his parents settled in Nashville, he visited them and met many country music stars, including Johnny Cash, his favorite of the ones he encountered, according to Current Biography.
At the University of Southern California, he switched from psychology to drama and studied with Nina Foch, the actress and drama coach. He later studied with Stella Adler and attended the Harvey Lembeck Comedy Workshop in Hollywood, where he became close friends with Robin Williams.
His father, Tex, failed to interest him in the guitar and was at first against an acting career. ''Just don't get cocky,'' he advised. John heeded the advice.
''John's all about not taking life too seriously,'' his ''Three's Company'' co-star Ms. DeWitt said in an interview with People magazine in 2002. ''There were days we went home from rehearsal with our cheeks sore from laughing.''
Mr. Ritter is survived by his wife, Amy Yasbeck, and their daughter, Stella, as well as by the three children from his first marriage, to Nancy Morgan: Jason, Carly and Tyler.
John Ritter's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is next to his father's.

According to the BitMEX Research, the majority of the Ethereum (ETH) raised by ICOs have been sold making over $700 million in the process by selling them a higher price. Though still about 3.8 million ETH are left, the research puts "panic sell" theory to rest.
About 3.8 million ETH still in possession of ICOs
The Initial Coin Offering (ICO) projects have sold about as much worth of Ethereum (ETH) as raised by these them according to the latest report by BitMEX, a crypto trading platform that provides up to 100x leverage.
The world's third largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum is at around $230 at the moment, down about 83% from its all-time high (ATH) at approximately $1,400.
In its report, it has been revealed that instead of suffering from the recent fall in ETH prices, the projects have apparently already sold their Ethereum to the maximum. To start with, more than 15 million ETH has been raised by about 222 ICOs. Now, close to 4 million ETH are remaining with these ICOs. An interesting fact is EOS has raised about as much ETH as other projects combined.
Moving further, the projects gained millions by selling ETH as BitMEX states, "At the macro level, the ICOs have already realised US$727m in profits by selling Ethereum at a higher price than when received it.
Despite the peak to trough 85% fall in the value of Ethereum, the projects are still sitting on unrealised profits of US$93m."
As for the project that realized the most gains has been the 5th largest cryptocurrency EOS, at 178th position Raiden Network (RDN), Iconomi (ICN) of 127th rank, and placed at 1619th place Filecoin (FIL).

No panic selling of ETH by ICOs
BitMEX did issue the chances of flaws in the research on its Twitter,
"As ever there are flaws in our analysis: We may have missed some ICOs, We may have wrongly assumed that Ethereum transferred out of a projects address cluster was sold, Many of the figures we provide are estimates. We apologise for any inaccuracies."
The report according to BitMEX clarifies that ICO treasury accounts have "much lower level of exposure to the price of Ethereum" than presumed by many.
It further puts the panic sell theory to rest. Panic Sell basically means "many ICO projects were sitting on a large treasure trove of Ethereum and that as the price of Ethereum fell, these projects were going to "panic sell', fearful of being the last project holding their Ethereum bags."
The report says, on the macro level, the projects might be feeling "reasonably confident" than needing to panic sell.
"Quite what this means for the Ethereum price going forward is unclear, however, we believe we have shown the "panic sell" thesis is either false or will only occur to a lesser extent than some expect" concluded BitMEX.

It is necessary to explain in general how works this dialectic between Regulation and Governance, when a crucial operator is involved (A), before finding in the Opinion of 6 January about SNCF Réseau (SNCF network) (B) .
A. The dialectic between Regulation and Governance in the presence of a critical operator
It is usual and justified to emphasize the difference between Regulation of a sector and Governance of operators
But it may happen that the proper functioning of a sector depends on good governance of operators. This may be good governance of all operators, or certain. Thus, the mere fact that a sector is regulated doesn't warrant that the governance of all operators should be under control, and even less that supervision of that governance is assigned to the sector regulator.
Regulation and Governance yet operate in dialectical when the inner workings of an operator has a decisive impact on the sector. This is the case when the operator is "crucial"
Therefore the company law must allow the independence of the operator of the transmission network. At first glance, the affiliate status of SNCF Réseau presents a difficulty.
B. The case study "SNCF Réseaux (SNCF Network"
In general, "governance" and "independence" are first and foremost the problem of conflicts of interest. Conflicts of interest are either avoided or managed. Ex ante, conflicts of interest are avoided, for example by the fact that the same person doesn't provide two functions or by giving a structure legal, accounting and capitalistic autonomy vis à vis operators.
Regarding the new corporate organization resulting from the Act of 4 August 2014 regarding railway reform, the Competition Authority has expressed skepticism principle in its opinion of October 4, 2013.
Indeed, the corporate organization is based on the establishment of "Etablissements Publics Industriels et Commerciaux - EPIC" (Industrial and Commercial Public Bodies), which together constitute the "Groupe Public Ferroviaire -GPF" (Public Railway Group). SNCF is itself the "EPIC de tête" 'head body), which exerts its power over the other EPIC in the group, the EPIC SNCF Mobilité (SNCF Mobilities, which manages transportation and stations) and the EPIC SNCF Réseau (SNCF Network), the network manager.
One of the decrees on which the opinion of the Authority is requested by the Government specifically aims to guarantee the independence of the EPIC SNCF Réseau.
However, the Competition Authority takes the opportunity to present a stock of the recommendations it made about the law, congratulates the Government when followed them, sorry if the bill has not been amended according to the wishes of Authority and incorporates all of the demonstration at the stage of implementing decrees.
Is this really the subject of the requested opinions? The opinions of the Authority aren't assent and Parliament isn't Government. Parliament remains free to draw as it wants the public operators, as long as it doesn't hit the law of the European Union, protected by the hierarchy of norms. But it is by design that, about the decrees, the Competition Authority assumes the principles and structure of the opinions given about the law: the Authority doesn't issue an opinion, but gives a lesson.
Since Parliament hasn't wanted to preserve the independence of the system operator by the ex ante, the Groupe Public Ferroviaire -GPF (Public Railway) Group being a form of vertical integration, the Competition Authority will offer ex post multiple techniques. First, that of depriving the operator of its most natural and clear legal authority: the right to vote.
It is true that the draft decrees provide for the presence of persons designated by the head EPIC (SNCF) on the board of directors of SNCF network, even though it is the latter which distributes the capacity and access tariffied to the network. The Competition Authority considers that there is a conflict of interest. The Authority would therefore like administrators from the head EPIC, including the President of the network manager himself, swerve when these critical functions are performed and that a decretal provision provides it. Secondly, the Authority is concerned about how sensitive information will be effectively conserved in order to not disturb equal competition between operators.
Then, as it should in terms of managing conflicts of interest, the Competition Authority attaches importance to the Commission de déontologie du système ferroviaire (Ethics Commission of the railway system) and it wants a bigger role or input regarding leaders of SNCF Réseau, just as it regrets the reception by the draft decree of the concept of "avis favorable implicite (implicit favorable opinion), opening too much room for discretion of the Commission or even connivance.
As a result, the Competition Authority made a series of complaints about the fact that French law hasn't given sufficient autonomy in the management of stations and hasn't sufficiently ensure the fairness of access to stations, the Authority being probably obliged to wait more binding development of European law. The Authority admits that in any case the insufficiency of the Code de déontologie (Code of Ethics) applied for "Stations & connection", preferring to stronger measures. It is sure that the soft law has its limits.
It was predictable that the critics of the Authority focuses on the structure of the Public Railway Group, but the fact that Parliament didn't want to follow in every aspect its opinion lies in the fact that the Parliament expresses a policy, here a transport policy. Indeed, the Competition Authority considered that SNCF, as an EPIC head, should have the power to set an inside overall strategy for the Public Group without any "external" role, is -to say having an effect on business operators, which are their competitors.
This is entirely consistent and we understand very well that opinion. But this is only an opinion. Facing the Parliament, in a closer design ordo-liberalism for example, Parliament may decide to amend certain points the bill while not fully following the advice, what it did. But this, the Competition Authority was unhappy and the opinion of the January 6, 2014 is full of dissatisfaction.
But the adviser of the author of a bill is not the political judge of the national parliament. It is not through simple decrees implementing the Government might question the fundamental role of the head of EPIC, not only internal but external role. Therefore, it is Parliament that the Competition Authority gives a "lesson". Is this the proper distribution of roles?
The Competition Authority considers that this head EPIC should have fewer financial resources and finds that its role is too general and too vague. It is certain that if its had have only as an internal control, a holding structure would have sufficed. But if it comes to expressing a public policy, an industrial economy, long-term choices, what the legislator seems to have done in "resistant" with the Competition Authority opinion of October 4, 2013, giving "external missions" to the head EPIC, such ressources given become more consistent and less deserving of criticism.
The Authority insists on the need to list what in the Public Group is shared at the head EPIC , not through an open list, but a closed list. This is a very important question of writing method. In fact, if - as is the case in the state of the draft decree - the list remains open, the system will have the advantage of being flexible and scalable but, as rightly stresses the Authority, would be slipped out of sight wery important tasks to the detriment of competitors and introduction of competition. In this case, only the pure ex post, that is to say the litigation and settlement in each case, with the probationary cumbersome, slow and the cost involved in the trial, bring the hotfix. But the system will have the advantage of not being frozen For now, the political decision remains that of the Regulation (industrial policy and transport policy) rather than Competition (safety in a transparent and non-discriminatory access to the network and stations).
Then the solution proposed by the Competition Authority is interesting and is already much in financial regulation: it is that of a trusted third party. For the Competition Authority, it must be the regulator itself here ARAF, which must be conferred assent power in the matter. This actually seems a good idea, showing that the regulator must enter sub-group relations.
The Competition Authority likes dissertations and explains the regulator what it should be. Thus, the Competition Authority believes that a residual regulatory power would be fine complexion of regulator and that the legislature would do well if it were granted, with the proposal that in fact the competition authority, power to control the management of confidential information to the network. Furthermore, according to the Competition Authority, if the regulator was a bit more clever, since it seems not to have thought of itself, the Authority has the benevolence of thinking for it, the regulator would be inspired to create an observatory on the matter.
The Competition Authority has certainly model the European Commission, one of whose powers is to establish pivot sectoral regulators to help them work together and develop their doctrine. This is probably why the Authority gives the example of other sectoral regulators.
But the Authority goes much further. Noting that the head EPIC will therefore perform numerous tasks pooled at the request and for the benefit of others EPIC of the Public Railway Group, by contract, the Authority considers it necessary that the ARAF would be in charge to "supervise cross missions and functions pooled from the train"
The Authority recognizes nonetheless that such vesting can only be at the legislative level, and it speaks only in view of the coming Order. But it speaks in detail and firmly. Thus, it states that "the need for tariff regulation and transparency regime is no doubt."
But do these agreements within a group belong to a "price regulation"? If the Competition Authority may fear a transfer of costs to network access prices, doesn't this situation fall under power ex post dispute resolution, given to the regulator?
The Authority recommends granting such power to the Regulator on the occasion of the coming Order. Why not? But freedom of contract, since it is not a regulatory power for which the contract is only a realization of a subjective right of access, should be preserved and an ex post legal tool seems to be sufficient.
In any case, without ever Competition Authority will put it this way, it wants that the sectorial regulator become the Supervisor of Public Group. This may be justified, but only Parliament can make such a junction betweenRegulation and Supervision.
Thus, when the Competition Authority requested that the minutes of decision making bodies and boards of directors of the three EPIC of the Public Group be transmitted to the ARAF, Regulatory body, it transforms it into Supervision Authority.
Thus, and in conclusion, we can measure that beyond the sectoral specificities, since the rail sector seems far removed from the banking sector ..., Regulation and Supervision continue to get closer.
Il convient en effet de partir de cette summa division, si l'on veut par la suite montrer les rapprochements qui sont en train de s'opérer entre les deux. Le secteur où cela est le plus net est le secteur bancaire. Voir Frison-Roche, M.-A., Concevoir une régulation prudentielle, 2014.

Review: Ecommerce, subversion & git @ SuperMondays
Tuesday night provided an interesting evening, and for more than just the somewhat non-geeky location at the Side Cinema. As usual I've been beaten to the punch for a review of the event; the offical review, and videos of the presentations can be found at supermondays.org.
David Coxon provided the opening presentation, discussing his project to create an ecommerce shop for the Baltic gallery. As I'd expected of David the talk was interesting, and given the time and budget available the outcome of the project is impressive. The full presentation can be seen here and slides here. David can provide a better insight into the project than I can, so I'll just say nice work.
The second aspect of the night was a (surprisingly) lively debate on source control systems. Paul Callaghan started by outlining the problem with the 'traditional' method of version control with naming schemes for files and folders, before introducing a better system with the use of Git, a distributed version control system. Alex Kavanagh added an alternative solution, in the more commonplace Suberversion/SVN.
From what I could take from the discussions Subversion is more commonly favoured in the business world as it provides a centralised repository, allowing for better management (access control, backups etc.) but Git provides some (arguably) better features and is 'cooler' (apparently).
If you work on any project that creates a significant volume of code or documentation you should definitely consider a revision control system of some description. In my case I'm looking at Git for my next project, from Paul's demo it seems like an easy learning curve into a new working paradigm.
Finally David Livingstone from the University of Northumbria's School of Computing, Engineering and Information Sciences introduced the Raquel Database System. Raquel is being built as an alternative to existing database technologies, the developers are currently looking for additional testers and project members, if you have any interest in the project contact David at the university.
The night ended, as usual, at the bar. Again as usual this provided many interesting discussions with other group members, if you haven't already been, or have been to a previous event but not recently, get yourself down to the next SuperMondays event.

General Kelly: The Bane of Planned Parenthood's Existence
By Judie Brown
Who knew that a retired four-star general whose son was killed in Afghanistan could become such a pain in Planned Parenthood's neck?
It appears that Marine general John Kelly, the current White House chief of staff, has become the flashpoint in Planned Parenthood Action Fund's most recent railing against anyone who has the audacity to tell the truth.
Last week PPAF accused the general of "attacking and undermining black women." In a tweet, PPAF sounded off because General Kelly took issue with the manner in which African-American congresswoman Frederica Wilson handled her remarks after President Trump telephoned the grieving widow of Sergeant La David Johnson, a soldier killed in Niger.
In what can only be described as this month's most hypocritical remark, PPAF had the gall to state that it stands with black women!
Please let the record show that Planned Parenthood may be standing with born black women—though that is questionable—but it surely does not stand with preborn black women! Why else would 79 percent of its abortion facilities be located in minority neighborhoods?
Planned Parenthood may be standing with born black women—though that is questionable—but it surely does not stand with preborn black women!
— Judie Brown (@Judie_Brown) October 24, 2017
Then there is the matter of Planned Parenthood's view of mothers. This view alone places the organization at odds with nearly all right-thinking people of every race. We see this in all of its actions. For instance, to help celebrate the cherished event of Mother's Day, PP has marketed Mother's Day cards with quotes such as "I would like [my daughter] to use family planning . . . to complete her education and have a good life" and "I'm grateful for Roe v. Wade, I'm grateful for birth control . . . I'm thankful for the women before me who've fought for and defended the right to be a mom by choice." In other words, if an expectant mom does not choose to be pregnant, her right to kill her baby is merely "the right to be a mom by choice."
I think actor James Woods said it best in his 2017 Mother's Day tweet:
Hard to say "I love you, Mom" from a medical waste dumpster… #DefundPP https://t.co/kYjMHn5yPV
— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) May 15, 2017
Planned Parenthood's perspective on African-American mothers and their children is far from being one of standing in solidarity with them. Day Gardner, president of the National Black Pro-Life Union, agrees and warned: "Black America must wake up and stand up to this racist organization that purposefully plants abortion facilities firmly in black and minority neighborhoods and urban communities, sometimes, right next door to schools."
We agree completely. It is a fact that Planned Parenthood Action Fund decries what it views as "racist" while practicing racism daily in neighborhoods across our nation. We have shown this clearly in our American Life League Culture of Life Studies Program video Who Was the Real Margaret Sanger?
This is why we cannot lose sight of the truth that only through education and one-on-one conversation with our minority brothers and sisters can we end Planned Parenthood's reign of terror.
We thank General Kelly and all those brave men and women who have fought and died to keep us free in this nation. And we commit to making sure that not only General John Kelly, but every single one of us remains the bane of Planned Parenthood's existence!

Trusted Extensions extends Solaris 10 Containers (zones) by
associating unique sensitivity labels with zones. The interaction
between zones and labels, and the various steps involved in zone
management can be confusing. Although Trusted Extensions provides a set
of CDE Administrative Actions to hide some of the details, it is still
too complicated and error prone
I have written a script, txzonemgr, to manage labeled zones in a structured manner
which simplifies and automates many of these steps. The script uses
zenity(1) to provide a point and click interface. As zones are
transitioned from one state to another, only valid choices are
presented. The script supports the complete zone life-cycle, including
configuration, installation, label assignment, starting, stopping, making

EB-2 Visa
- Overview/Description
- Requirements/Eligibility
- Application Process
- How long does the Visa last for?
- How are Family Members Treated?
- Other Considerations or Related Articles
- Common Questions & Answers
- Fees
This category is available to individuals who are a member of professions holding an advanced degree who has exceptional ability. (note this is different from extraordinary ability). There are three categories within EB-2 and they are summarized below:
|Advanced Degree (Master's Degree or Higher or a BA with 5 years experience)
|The job you apply for must require an advanced degree and you must possess such a degree or its equivalent. (Keep in mind that it is the JOB that must require the degree. You must have the degree also but the assessment will be whether the job requires it.
|Exceptional Ability
|You must be able to show exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business. Exceptional ability "means a degree of expertise significantly above that ordinarily encountered in the sciences, arts, or business." Note that this is different from extraordinary ability.
|National Interest Waiver (NIW)
|Aliens seeking a national interest waiver are requesting that the Labor Certification be waived because it is in the interest of the United States. Though the jobs that qualify for a national interest waiver are not defined by statute, national interest waivers are usually granted to those who have exceptional ability (see above) and whose employment in the United States would greatly benefit the national. Those seeking a national interest waiver may self-petition (they do not need an employer to sponsor them) and may file their labor certification directly with USCIS along with their Form I-140, Petition for Alien Worker. (VERY DIFFICULT PETITION)
The three categories are all separate categories that each require a separate application. The exceptional ability and advanced degree categories both require an employer where the NIW does not.
If you are applying under the advanced degree category, documentation, such as an official academic record showing that you have a U.S. advanced degree or a foreign equivalent degree, or an official academic record showing that you have a U.S. baccalaureate degree or a foreign equivalent degree and letters from current or former employers showing that you have at least 5 years of progressive post-baccalaureate work experience in the specialty is required.
If you are applying under the exceptional ability or NIW category, you must meet 3 of the following criteria.
- Official academic record showing that you have a degree, diploma, certificate, or similar award from a college, university, school, or other institution of learning relating to your area of exceptional ability
- Letters documenting at least 10 years of full-time experience in your occupation
- A license to practice your profession or certification for your profession or occupation
- Evidence that you have commanded a salary or other remuneration for services that demonstrates your exceptional ability
- Membership in a professional association(s)
- Recognition for your achievements and significant contributions to your industry or field by your peers, government entities, professional or business organizations
- Other comparable evidence of eligibility is also acceptable.
In addition, for NIW you must demonstrate that it is in the national interest that you work permanently in the United States. For example, if you are a person that created a vaccine that would benefit the U.S., this is the category for you.
You should note that unless you are applying under NIW, the employer must obtain an approved labor certification from the Department of Labor.
Application Process
To qualify for an EB-2 visa, your employer must file a Form I-140, Petition for Alien Worker. NIW applicants may self petition on the same form.
How long does the Visa last for?
These are green cards so as long as you meet the residency requirements and do not violate the terms of the visa you can keep them for life.
How are Family Members Treated?
Your spouse and children under the age of 18 may be admitted to the United States in E-21 and E-22 immigrant status, respectively. During the process where you and your spouse are applying for permanent resident status (status as a green card holder), your spouse is eligible to file for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD).

City of HoustonRecognize that sign behind the trucks?
Remember those old signs that stood outside the Sam Houston Coliseum and Music Hall? Hundreds of thousands of wrestling fans and concert goers must have walked under those signs over the years.
Seems that even though those two facilites are history, the signs remain. For now, according to the city, they're being kept in an HPD lot at Rusk beneath U.S. 59. No word on what will happen to them.
Thanks to local photographer Chris Daigle for bringing this to my attention.

15 year Wilhelm II Land MSA and HOOH shallow ice core record from Mount Brown South (MBS)Entry ID: mbs_wilhelm_msa_hooh_1
This work presents results from a short firn core spanning 15 years collected from near Mount Brown, Wilhelm II Land, East Antarctica. Variations of methanesulphonic acid (MSA) at Mount Brown were positively correlated with sea-ice extent from the coastal region surrounding Mount Brown (60-1208 E) and from around the entire Antarctic coast (0-3608 E). Previous results from Law Dome identified ... this MSA-sea-ice relationship and proposed it as an Antarctic sea-ice proxy (Curran and others, 2003), with the strongest results found for the local Law Dome region. Our data provide supporting evidence for the Law Dome proxy (at another site in East Antarctica), but a deeper Mount Brown ice core is required to confirm the sea-ice decline suggested by Curran and others (2003). Results also indicate that this deeper record may also provide a more circum-Antarctic sea-ice proxy.
This work was completed as part of ASAC project 757 (ASAC_757).

Hi Raphi,
this Gravity Form plugin is just an extension that a third party provider is offering fro Podio.
I suggest you get in touch with them to fix the issue, as we have nothing to do with that.
Also, you may want to take a look at Podio Webforms, a core Podio feature that seems to do exactly what you're trying to achieve with Gravity Form.

Ibrahimovic's brace gives PSG draw against Lorient
Paris, France – Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice in the second half as PSG rallied from two goals behind to draw Lorient, 2-2, on Saturday at the Parc des Princes in its opening match of the 2012-13 Ligue 1 season.
An early own goal from Maxwell and a goal from Jeremie Aliadiere in first-half stoppage time gave Lorient a surprise two-goal lead, but Ibrahimovic struck in the 63rd and then from the spot in the 90th.
Ibrahimovic was part of the over $100 million makeover for PSG this offseason, which followed more than $100 million in transfers last year.
PSG needed him against Lorient.
The clear favorite in France this season, PSG escaped with a point to avoid an embarrassing home loss to kick off the new season.
Bordeaux 3, Evian 2
Annecy, France - Henri Saivet's goal five minutes after halftime turned out to be the match-winner, as Bordeaux edged Evian, 3-2, on Saturday at the Parc des Sports in the teams' Ligue 1 opener.
Ludovic Obraniak and Yoan Gouffran scored inside 15 minutes as Bordeaux took a quick two-goal lead, but Daniel Wass pulled a goal back in the 18th for Evian. Saivet extended the lead back to two goals for Bordeaux in the 50th.
Saber Khelifa scored in stoppage time for Evian, which fell short at home.
Bastia 3, Sochaux 2
Montbeliard, France - Toifilou Maoulida scored a brace in a three-goal second half for newly-promoted Bastia, which returned to Ligue 1 with a 3-2 win over Sochaux at the Stade Auguste Bonal on Saturday.
Slovan Privat scored in the 12th minute for Sochaux, but Anthony Modeste tied the match in the 58th for Bastia and Maoulida scored in the 74th and 82nd. The hosts pulled a late goal back through Thierry Doubai in the 88th.
Lille 2, St Etienne 1
Saint Etienne, France - Benoit Pedretti scored in the 90th minute as Lille won its opener Saturday at St Etienne, 2-1, at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
Lille, which won Ligue 1 two years ago, led through Aurelien Chedjou after 58 minutes, but Romain Hamouma answered in the 73rd for St. Etienne. Pedretti won all three points for Lille with his late goal.
Lyon 1, Rennes 0
Rennes, France - Yoann Gourcuff scored in the 16th minute as Lyon beat Rennes, 1-0, on Saturday at the Stade de la Route de Lorient in the teams' Ligue 1 opener.
Rennes had Jires Ekoko sent off on the half-hour, and Lyon made the early goal stand up to open its season with a road win.
Ajaccio 1, Nice 0
Nice, France - Eduardo Dos Santos scored in the 10th minute as Ajaccio opened its Ligue 1 season with a 1-0 win on the road over Nice at the Stade Municipal du Ray.
Nancy 1, Brest 0
Nancy, France - Yohan Mollo scored in stoppage time as Nancy edged Brest, 1-0, on Saturday at the Stade Marcel Picot in the teams' Ligue 1 opener.
Valenciennes 1, Troyes 0
Troyes, France - Rincon's own goal was enough for Valenciennes to edge newly- promoted Troyes, 1-0, on Saturday at the Stade de l'Aube in Ligue 1.

Nicole McAmis moved to St. Louis from Ventura, California to attend Washington University. She chose chemical engineering as her major, and is planning to one day attend medical school. As a freshman, she began volunteering at St. Louis Children's Hospital. Now a junior in college, Nicole has been working with patients for more than two years. When asked what this experience has taught her, she answered, "Children have the ability to teach adults to be spontaneous, be courageous, make mistakes, and most of all, approach life with enthusiasm."
One day at St. Louis Children's Hospital a father approached me and asked me why I volunteer. I quickly answered, "I do it for the kids." And with that answer, he told me, "Thank you for making each day just a little bit better." It is amazing how the little things in life can make such an impact on someone else. Even a smile is enough to brighten a child's day. After all, someone once said, "Volunteers are paid in six figures… S-M-I-L-E-S."
In the hospital, I have volunteered in many different areas including the school room, Project Picasso, the play room, Hematology-Oncology Clinic, and Family Resource Center. In the school room, I am able to tutor kids that are patients in the hospital and try to add a sense of normalcy to their day. During Project Picasso, we use art in order to help improve the patient's stay and help their attitude toward the situation at hand. It is always a huge hit when we paint rocks for the garden! The play room is a place where patients are able to play different games with volunteers and just have fun for a while. The Hematology-Oncology clinic is a great place where you can play with a patient to get their mind off the different procedures they are enduring. In the Family Resource Center, we provide information to parents of different diagnoses as well as a place where a parent can access movies for their child to help them get through the tough time.
My Children's Hospital experience gives me the opportunity to see how doctors and nurses interact with patients and how doctors are always striving to find the cure for any diagnosis. With such amazing doctors always at hand, Children's is always a very prominent place in the medical field, providing care for people from outside the country as well. As a volunteer, we strive to make their experience at the hospital the best it can be. It is amazing the amount of impact a volunteer can have in a very busy hospital environment, even if it is just playing a game with a child and allowing the parents to go out for coffee.
While the amount of volunteering time is often limited by school or other activities, those who can give time make all the difference in the world. It makes that time irreplaceable and priceless for that patient who may not be going through the best time of their life. As a volunteer, you learn that compassion is the key to everything since you do not necessarily know what the patient is going through. You have not walked in their shoes to know. But you do get the opportunity to walk with them and make a difference, even if it is small, in that patient's day. Volunteers are given the greatest gift, the chance to choose and change the kind of community we live in.

In a graphic demonstration of disregard for the lives and rights of Palestinians, a smiling Ivanka Trump welcomed Israeli dignitaries to the new U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem on Monday, while, just 60 miles away in Gaza, Israel's armed forces shot hundreds of Palestinian protesters, killing at least 52.
As American officials, including President Donald Trump's former bankruptcy lawyer, Ambassador David Friedman, offered the new embassy to Israel as a sort of gift to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Jewish state, thousands of Palestinians came under fire from Israeli snipers for demanding the right to return to homes that their families were forced to abandon in 1948.
More than two-thirds of the Palestinians confined to Gaza are refugees from towns and cities in what is now Israel. The protests along Israel's perimeter fence that began on March 30 — and were immediately met with lethal force — are intended to draw attention to what Palestinians refer to as the "nakba," or catastrophe, of Israel's founding, which led to the forcible displacement of some 750,000 Palestinians.
"Choosing a tragic day in Palestinian history shows great insensibility and disrespect for the core principles of the peace process," said Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah in a statement.
The death toll on Monday means that Israel has now killed more than 90 Palestinians in the past six weeks for approaching the fence it placed around Gaza, surpassing the total number of East Germans shot and killed for trying to scale the Berlin Wall from 1961 to 1989.

Hi all, I'm just checking how things are going for CSS3 Paged Media. According to the latest document, This document contains the CSS3 Paged Media Module W3C Last Call Working Draft <http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#RecsWD> of 10 October 2006. The Last Call period ends on 3 November 2006. From what I understand, this should be interpreted to mean that the document has moved into Candidate Recommendation. Is that correct? I'm asking because I'd like to pass on that "CSS3 Paged Media is now a candidate recommendation of WC3" to the Firefox developers. How long does it typically take to move from CR to REC if there are no significant objections? Kevin --Received on Tuesday, 23 January 2007 20:21:52 UTC
