![]() The UK is also lacking the game-changing factors that helped power it out of previous slumps. The textbook levers for generating some growth - including increased immigration and closer trading ties with Europe - are almost all too toxic for the divided Tory party, whose MPs are unlikely to seek an election before its due date of January 2025. Low productivity and a deficit of workers make it difficult for the economy to regain altitude after any setback. ![]() That reflects a number of deep-rooted structural problems for the UK since it left the European Union. The longer-term malaise is reflected in how the country’s trend growth rate has fallen to just 1.2% from 2.5% before the financial crisis, according to Bloomberg Economics. He provided some relief by noting it’s not clear rates need to rise as much as investors expect. “Rises in the relative prices of goods and energy make us collectively worse off,” BOE Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent said in a speech hours before Truss stepped aside. Policymakers admit the nation will feel poorer. Most economists anticipate the first 75 basis point shift in rates since 1989. Central bankers led by Governor Andrew Bailey intervened to prop up a gilt market roiled by Truss, but are now turning back to the inflation battle and are likely to tighten monetary policy again next month. A million jobs remain unfilled as older people have dropped out of the workforce in droves, and younger ones have stayed in education.įorced to focus on the inflation shock it was late to spot, the BOE has raised rates to levels not seen since the global financial crisis more than a decade ago. While unemployment has plunged to the lowest in 48 years, at least 300,000 workers dropped out of the labor force since the pandemic, making it more costly for companies to hire and expand. The war between Russia and Ukraine sapped the flow of natural gas, sending prices soaring. Trade friction with the EU and China along with global supply chain chaos have boosted the cost of goods. ![]() ![]() Now, all those tailwinds have turned direction. That along with declining oil and natural gas prices and a free flow of workers from the EU sent inflation on a downward path until the pandemic, enabling interest rates to drop to historic lows. Even beyond the short term, the painful reality is that the factors that drove the UK in the past three decades - cheap goods, labor, credit and energy - are all moving in reverse.īritain’s economy thrived through the 1990s and early 2000s along with growing trade with the European Union and Asia, which reduced the cost of goods and services. ![]()

Members of Reddit’s /r/TheExpanse collected the creatives’ responses to date: Several castmembers assured Anvar’s alleged victims that they have been seen and heard. Members of the main cast posted statements confirming the investigation and affirming the seriousness with which the accusations are being treated. This will get the attention and action such serious allegations deserve. Corey, tweeted from Corey’s account that the allegations were being taken seriously by their studio Alcon Entertainment, and that the studio had hired an independent third party investigator.Īnd, if I may, a wholehearted thank you to those who were brave enough to bring this to us. Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham, the writer/producers who also write The Expanse novels under the joint pen name James S.A. ![]() The immediate response from the creative team behind The Expanse has been heartening. One woman details what she says was an assault by Anvar when she was 17. One of the accounts comes from an actress who worked with Anvar, and in another thread, a former VFX coordinator on The Expanse corroborates the allegations. Looking back on it years later I’ve realised how creepy and wrong it was.Īs of this writing, there are almost 30 accounts from different women who allege sexual misconduct from Anvar that ranges from aggressive texting to inappropriate touching to assault. He sent me loads of insistent Twitter DMs when I was about 17 and they made me uncomfortable as HELL at the time. ![]() Bonus screenshot of me sending the screenshots to another con guest to get their opinion (edited for privacy). Some choice excerpts of him trying to make me feel bad and that it was all my fault(?) for rejecting him. So, the “you’re a sexy little elf, aren’t you?” story? The guy who thought groping my tits would be super exciting for me? Gave me cab money to gtfo as soon as he was done with me? Oh, looks like he finally got called out. Fans of The Expanse began keeping detailed and meticulous records of the social media threads about Anvar on Reddit you can read through the whole timeline and the collected allegations here. This door soon became a floodgate, as multiple women came forward with their own allegations and experiences with Anvar. I have two friends who told me he aggressively pushed them to meet up with him. While we’re throwing out the garbage, toss Cas Anvar onto the pile for targeting female Assassin’s Creed fans. “While we’re throwing out the garbage, toss Cas Anvar onto the pile,” cosplayer and gamer wrote. Over the weekend, the door was thrown open by a Twitter user who posted about Anvar allegedly assaulting and harassing her friends. There have also been multiple accusations of Anvar sexually assaulting women under similar circumstances.” Such was the case with Anvar, known to science fiction fans as the Rocinante’s pilot Alex Kamal on The Expanse, and to video game fans for his voice work in Assasin’s Creed Revelations as Altaïr.Īs The AV Club summarizes, it’s alleged that Anvar used his status in these genre worlds “to manipulate and coerce young women, some underage, into sexual situations, and into sending him sexual photographs. Victims often find that after voicing their own experience, they were hardly the only ones affected by someone accused of sexual misconduct. Powerful people are facing a reckoning for their actions, and as of late, more and more victims are coming forward with harrowing stories across industries. Several of the women also allege that Anvar assaulted them, and some that he seemingly interacted with were as young as 17. The allegations, which seem to follow similar patterns and are supported by text messages from Anvar, establish what appears to be harassing behavior for years-often targeting female fans online and women at conventions. Actor Cas Anvar, best known for playing Alex on The Expanse, has been accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct. ![]() ![]() ![]() When they found Lucrece wearing mourning clothes, they demanded to know why she was grieving. They arrived, her father accompanied by Junius Brutus and her husband accompanied by Publius Valerius. Poor Lucrece immediately sent messengers: one to her father in Rome and the other to Collatine in the camp. That same night, he snuck into her room, violently raped her, and ran away in the morning. Lucrece entertained him and boarded him royally because he was a prince. It wasn't long until he secretly snuck away. Afterward, Sextus Tarquinius was attracted to Lucrece's beauty, but he kept it to himself for the moment, and went back to the camp with the others. At that point the noblemen admitted Collatine had won the contest, and that his wife was impressive. ![]() All the other ladies were found dancing and partying, or in bed with their lovers. Only Collatine's wife was found sewing with her maids, even though it was late at night. Having fun, they quickly went back to Rome to see if they could catch their wives (whom they'd just been bragging about) by surprise, to test them. ![]() Collatine praised his wife Lucrece's incomparable sexual morality. As they talked after dinner, everyone bragged about the virtues of their wives. During the siege, the army leaders met one evening in a tent belonging to Sextus Tarquinius, the king's son. He took over the kingdom and took his followers and other Roman noblemen to attack Ardea. Plot Summary : After Lucius Tarquinius (nicknamed "Superbus" for his excessive pride) had his own father-in-law cruelly murdered, he ignored Roman laws and customs and didn't allow the people to vote. Which done, with one consent they all vowed to root out the whole hated family of the Tarquins and bearing the dead body to Rome, Brutus acquainted the people with the doer and manner of the vile deed, with a bitter invective against the tyranny of the king: wherewith the people were so moved, that with one consent and a general acclamation the Tarquins were all exiled, and the state government changed from kings to consuls. She, first taking an oath of them for her revenge, revealed the actor, and whole manner of his dealing, and withal suddenly stabbed herself. They came, the one accompanied with Junius Brutus, the other with Publius Valerius and finding Lucrece attired in mourning habit, demanded the cause of her sorrow. Lucrece, in this lamentable plight, hastily dispatcheth messengers, one to Rome for her father, another to the camp for Collatine. The same night he treacherously stealeth into her chamber, violently ravished her, and early in the morning speedeth away. At that time Sextus Tarquinius being inflamed with Lucrece' beauty, yet smothering his passions for the present, departed with the rest back to the camp from whence he shortly after privily withdrew himself, and was, according to his estate, royally entertained and lodged by Lucrece at Collatium. Whereupon the noblemen yielded Collatinus the victory, and his wife the fame. In that pleasant humour they posted to Rome and intending, by their secret and sudden arrival, to make trial of that which every one had before avouched, only Collatinus finds his wife, though it were late in the night, spinning amongst her maids: the other ladies were all found dancing and revelling, or in several disports. During which siege the principal men of the army meeting one evening at the tent of Sextus Tarquinius, the king's son, in their discourses after supper every one commended the virtues of his own wife: among whom Collatinus extolled the incomparable chastity of his wife Lucretia. Argument : Lucius Tarquinius, for his excessive pride surnamed Superbus, after he had caused his own father-in-law Servius Tullius to be cruelly murdered, and, contrary to the Roman laws and customs, not requiring or staying for the people's suffrages, had possessed himself of the kingdom, went, accompanied with his sons and other noblemen of Rome, to besiege Ardea. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Additionally, you typically are not required to bolt in clip-style safety bars, which give you the flexibility to move them when needed.ĭue to the advantages that clip-style safety bars have over universal safety bars, we will give this point to Step Beams. These safety bars fit neatly inside the step beam, and therefore the risk of snagging is greatly reduced. Step beams, on the other hand, require the use of clip-style safety bars. Additionally, safety engineers are more frequently requiring these types of safety bars to be bolted to the pallet racking beam, which keeps you from being able to freely adjust the safety bar if needed. The issue with this design is that clothing and products get snagged on the safety bar, causing minor damage.Īlso, the safety bars take up space on the outside of the beam, an area that is commonly used for product identification labels. Box beams require universal safety bars, which have a U-shaped design on each end that is placed over the top of the box beam. Pallet racking support bars, otherwise known as safety bars, are steel bars that run perpendicular to the rack beams in order to keep pallets or other products stored in the racking system from falling through. However, although Box Beams are stronger than Step Beams per square inch, this can be mitigated by simply getting a taller Step Beam, but this will increase the cost.īecause Step Beams can make up their strength with height, this is a tied round.īox Beam vs. Because of their basic rectangular shape, box beams are able to hold heavier loads compared to Step Beams, which have a more intricate design. Step Beam Round 1: STRENGTHīox beams have always been the popular choice in the Canadian pallet racking market, and are preferred for their superior strength per square inch. To gain a better understanding of the beam designs, we put step beams, and box beams head to head against 3 factors to see who comes out on top. Almost like an L-shape, with slots along the lower edge of the step. Step beams, on the other hand, have (you guessed it!) a step in their design. Frames are the vertical structures of a pallet rack system, and beams are the horizontal structures and what you place your pallets on.īox beams have a basic rectangular shape, similar to the shape of a 2X4 board with clips on the end to attach to a vertical frame. A pallet racking storage system is made up of 2 basic parts: frames (or uprights), and beams (or cross beams). ![]() ![]() ![]() Make sure you log into your Origin account.

We had no issues with the quality of recording, although we did see the occasional compression artefact. You can also opt to record for smaller screen devices or in standard definition. You can adjust the quality settings from a resolution of 1,280x720 at 60fps and an economical bit rate of 7Mbit/s, for example, to a resolution of 1,920x1,080, 60fps and a higher bit rate of 40M/bit/s. You can adjust the resolution and bit rate of your videos, and this will have an effect on the size of the end file, with lower quality videos being smaller and easier to upload, for example. You can’t rewind indefinitely, but in testing we could go back as far as 10 minutes in order to capture footage we had missed. This is because the Game Capture HD60’s software is constantly recording while it’s open.įlashback Recording is particularly handy if you forget to start a recording and suddenly hit a big score, or do something particularly impressive that you want to record. One useful feature is Flashback Recording, which lets you rewind footage even if you haven’t pressed Record. Triggering Record on the Game Capture HD60 isn’t as quick as on the HD PVR Rocket, as you just have to hit a big red button on the Rocket, but it’s still pain-free. Video capture or live streaming only requires one click to commence without anything else to worry about. You can also fill in details for the video title, the title of the game and provide a description and tag your video accordingly, making archiving lots of footage far simpler. Under the Live Streaming section you can set up a stream and adjust the bit rate. This will be particularly useful if you want to narrate during gameplay or provide instructions for a particularly tricky part of a game if you’re recording a walkthrough. You can also adjust volume levels for game audio, and if you have a microphone you can even add live commentary as you play. The former, as you might expect, allows you to record the HDMI signal from whatever you have connected to the Game Capture. It’s broken down into two main sections, ‘Capture’ and ‘Edit’. The Game Capture HD software is straightforward and easy to use. It’s a shame that you can’t record directly to a USB flash drive, as you can with the HD PVR Rocket, as some users won’t have a laptop or PC handy on which to record, especially if they’ve taken the Game Capture HD60 to a mate’s house. You can even overlay your webcam’s feed over the top, which is a nice touch. Stream Command provides live streaming through popular services such as Twitch, uStream and YouTube, three of the biggest sites for gaming videos. Stream Commmand wasn’t available for Macs at the time of writing, but Elgato says it is coming soon. The software lets you control how content is recorded, and it also lets you set up live streams via the Stream Command interface. To capture video you must install the Game Capture HD software on your Windows PC or Mac and record video to your laptop through that software. The Game Capture HD60 doesn’t need any extra power, either, as it draws all the power it needs via USB. The device itself is just a bit bigger than a credit card and, is about 15mm thick, making eminently portable. The supplied cable was a generous 2.5m in length, which provides a bit more flexibility in the position of the laptop on which your video will be recorded. The Game Capture HD60 is connected to your computer via a USB cable. The PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360 are all compatible, though. This problem affects other devices, such as the Hauppauge HD PVR Rocket, but the HD PVR Rocket provides you with a component cable to get around this problem. The Game Capture HD60 doesn’t support HDCP-protected video, so the PlayStation 3 is not supported. The Game Capture HD60 is described as a “Next Generation Gameplay Sharing” device and this hints to one of its drawbacks. This works well, and we certainly didn’t notice any lag. The Game Capture HD60 acts as a HDMI pass-through device, which means it connects to your games console and then forwards the signal on to your TV. The Elgato Game Capture HD60 is designed to simplify the process of recording and sharing your gaming videos. Lots of gamers want to record their gaming exploits so that they can share them with friends, and gaming videos are some of the most-watched videos on YouTube.

I don't think people really pay attention to Pixar shorts as something other than a bonus to Pixar features (this one coming before Cars), but these things are really great, even standalone. I was hoping for more! Great addition to the Cars DVD! If I have one complaint about One Man Band is that it isn't longer in length. Proves the simplest ideas are often the best. And the surrounding Renaissance world is a feast of warm colors and visual beauty. The character designs are so cute and appealing. As always, the animation is spot-on and very impressive. It doesn't end the way you think it will. A simple story told with lots of wit and humor. It tells the story of two street musicians trying to compete for the gold coin of a young peasant girl who just wants to cast it in the town square's wish fountain. Pixar's meticulous attention to detail is conveyed in the brilliance of the story and the craftsmanship of the animation. The minute I saw it I was enchanted and knew I had found my favorite Pixar short to date. One Man Band is simply one of the best shorts ever produced. All I can say is that ONE-MAN BAND looks near-perfect, has tremendous set and character design and will make you laugh even though it is dialog-free. ![]() I'm not even sure where I can get this HBO produced short. Now it is very difficult to assess whether or not the wonderful ONE-MAN BAND was yet another case like this because although I have seen this film, the winner (THE MOON AND THE SON) is difficult to find and isn't available anywhere on the internet. They are consistently very funny and the most technologically challenging product out there. I have noticed that their films don't seem to win like they used to and in a few cases (such as KNICK KNACK) they weren't even nominated-even though, to me, they seemed to be producing the best shorts. The problem, however, is that the films are so good, so consistently great that I think the Academy Awards folks are reticent to give this studio the Oscar for Best Animated Short-otherwise, smaller and less prestigious studios might feel left out and not even bother entering since Pixar would take home most of the awards. The quality is top-notch and the writing exceptional-so good that for the worst of these short films I'd give them perhaps an 8. Why can't there be good, original, entertaining and clean cartoons any more? You have to go back to the 30s through the '70s for anything good, like the Looney Tunes or the Pink Panther This Pixar cartoon shows the incredible animation that could be done for short cartoons today This was an extra feature that came with the "Cars" DVD.Īgain and again, Pixar films has produced the very best in cutting-edge shorts using computer generated animation. It just makes me wish more of this kind of thing could be done. However, as a cartoon it was amazing and almost too much for words. The little girl was a nasty, little so-and-so. Others have gone into detail so there is no need for me to comment except I will stick up for the two incredible one-man-band players. The music by these two guys is spectacular. All they want is a little money for their efforts, but this little girl is a tough sell. Sometimes I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing as two one-man bands compete for a coin from a little girl. Even in this computer era, this is a stunning short little animated story. Of course, I have been watching a ton of 40s, 50s and 60s cartoons in the last two months so something this new - and with surround sound - is a shock to see and hear, and is extremely impressive. Wow, the first thing I noticed was how stunning this looked. Certainly compared to Mater & the Ghostlight, this film is fun and energetic to the point where it will appeal to adults as much as children and, to my mind, this is what Pixar is all about and is what made this short fun to watch. It is pretty funny but more pleasing was the ending which saw the little girl come into it more and become part of the comedy herself. The scenario is very simple and it goes where you expect in regards the busking becoming more intense. ![]() Attached to the Cars DVD, this short film was better than the customary short that featured the characters from the full film. Unfortunately for him another busker is in the square with the very same idea and so begins a tense busk-off in the otherwise quiet square. She seems intent on making a wish at the fountain but the busker sees his opportunity and strikes up to attract her attention. As luck would have it, a child walks into the square with a shiny coin. In a village square a busker prepares for what seems like a quiet day. ![]() ![]() ![]() For more information call: Jamie Remacle – 95.

EU/NA gamers were never fans of hardcore grinding. It's not popular because the grind increases in geometric progression. I know they changed it to f2p, but now with their new weapon system it's still regarded as p2p unless you want to grind those blue stones for limited amount everyday. Well, I'm not Korean so I don't know what is really happening there but, p2p might be the real reason it was and until now the most popular MMO there. Is it because it's f2p? why don't we try to change it to p2p and see what is going to happen? For the record, it was a p2p game in Korea and it is the most popular MMO in Korea until now. Because for some reason this great game isn't really popular. Idk, I just want this game to get the recognition it deserves.

The supply and demand would be crap. ![]() You can't offer trials because your getting "rid of" bots, spammers, and gold farmers. That will cause cross server and competitive PvP to be non-existent. Not everyone will be interested in doing the same actives as everyone else. That is around 18 people online at any given time on average. ![]() Lets say on average people play 3 hours a day (due to work, school, eating, and sleeping). Now with 150 people not everyone plays all the time. They will be forced to put all the existing players on one server. Lets say (theoretically) that Blade and soul NA (can't really merge regions and keep players due to ping) has 15,000 active players total (5 groups 3,000 players in each group) and 99% of the people don't want to pay that $100 to play a game. Just think, people that don't have or want to spend $100 to play a game monthly is very, very high. If the game was $100 a month then the game will die. * Unless the majority of your targeted audiences are sheep to begin with* Its fine for an entertainment medium to charge whatever pricing it wishes to be, but the MAIN QUESTION is, do the value proposition you offer to the consumer, worth the labelled price? In this case, no, its not. Secondly, depending on the economy of your country, to some demographics, USD100 is a lot, heck, I would be grateful and happy to accept USD100 donation per month just to ease myself a bit during University phrase currently, that's USD1,200 p.a., any idea of how much necessities I could've purchase in real life? Really, the value isn't there at all, not to the point of being convincible. So, if the core is broken and unimpressive nowadays, everything else will not get any further from being rotten. The current state of this game do not worth that much per month, not even USD50 to start off with, I'm not referring to those effort gap between players, I'm referring to the core of the game itself, for one, the class balance system itself is non-existent, in a bad way of saying it, it's trash. While your intention is positive but USD100 per month is absurd. ![]() |
