 Describe a process you went through to develop a procedural level for a game.

Hi there! Saishy here again, today I will be talking about our work on procedural generation for TinyAttack.
If you played the prototype available for patrons you might have noticed the map is always the same, initially I decided that maps would be hand-made as to allow them to be aesthetic pleasing and interesting. While only randomizing location for chests, goals, start point etc.
What I would find later is that I’m actually horrible at level design… And TinyBird Games don’t make enough to be able to hire one.
The map ended up being too big and empty, nothing interesting, people would walk to one corner and away and forget where they were. The empty feeling would make them complain about the slow moving speed. It was a train wreck.
So, being a horrible level designer, a barely passable artist… The only thing left being a programmer I decided to finally go ProcGen!
Reading tons of articles and tutorials was a key point in choosing and implementing an algorithm.
And after pondering for a while I decided to go with the Cellular Automata for the first level, the GrassLands.
Considering blue is non-walkable area and green is the walkable one, you can see that those are not playable maps.
… It does look better tho! I mean, it’s actually playable, I think.
I think those are the first good results I got, but I still thought it was too big for TinyAttack. Besides you can see it still generates isolated islands, which I will explain later how I dealt with them.
Those looks much better! But I still think they were a tad too big and a lot of big open spaces with nothing ended up appearing.
I think that really helped with the variety and interesting shapes, but it was still too random, a square map with big open areas would still be generated with a high chance.
To fix that was basically just playing around with map size and number of walls generated at the start of the Cellular Automata. It might still not be perfect but I think it’s good enough.
Then the next thing I wanted was to make some portion of the map into water, because the Grasslands map is a grassy area that ends into a portion of water.
For that I tried making a sphere and checking if a non-walkable tile was inside it, if it is turn it into water and Flood Fill the area (Flood Fill is another algorithm very useful for procedural generated stuff).
So, the problem is obvious here, the Flood Fill is not working! But why?
So now I got my attention into fixing the isolated islands problem.
Remember the Flood Fill thing? This is it now, feel old yet? I basically just got the first portion of walkable area nearest to the center of the map, once I got it I applied the flood fill to a full non-walkable map, changing the non-walkable tiles into walkable ones.
And done! Since the flood fill only traversed in the X and Y axis that means the result was assured to be fully connected, never having non connected areas.
Of course that is not perfect, and I found a fairly low chance of it generating extremely small maps due to the initial tile being actually inside an isolated place or the map having too many isolated places to begin with.
To fix that I just got the percentage of non-walkable tiles and if it passed a threshold I dropped the map and regenerated it. Remember that at this point the map is just a bunch of 0 and 1 on an array, not too heavy to regenerate again and again.
It generated a duck: So that means it’s perfect already.
I wish! The next problem is that the walls of TinyAttack are composed of two vertical tiles together, but putting them in some places would actually block the player path!
Oops, so how do we solve that? My first idea was a way to check if putting a wall in that area would actually block the path. That was fast dismissed by Eniko on grounds of being too difficult, which I agreed after thinking a little.
Next idea was something I thought it was ingenious, clear the 3 tiles bellow a wall so the path is always walkable!
How the hell do I solve that now?
A lot more thinking, and I end up with the conclusion that I shouldn’t solve that, I shouldn’t even use that at all.
I’m already wasting too much time on this, let’s just brute force the solution!
So what I came up with is that all non-walkable areas will be extruded two tiles down, and those two tiles will be converted to walls later on.
Since at this part the Flood Fill check and percentage of walls check would still run after, I was guaranteed to get a playable map!
So now we put everything we did together and what we get?
Yeah that is starting to look like an actual playable map!
Then selecting areas for the starting point, chests, shrines, portal, but those are much more game specific.
I hope you have liked following into what happens behind TinyAttack.

 Have you heard of the referendum to retire the designation of “Chinese Taipei” and competing in 2020 Olympics as “Team Taiwan”?

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – After the changes made to the Taiwanese referendum laws late in 2017, some civil groups have chosen to put the new legal measures to use by calling for a referendum ahead of this year’s midterm elections.
The goal of the referendum is to formally retire the designation of “Chinese Taipei”(中華台北隊) and to have Taiwanese athletes compete in the 2020 Summer Olympics under the title of simply "Team Taiwan"(台灣隊).
The use of “Chinese Taipei” to refer to Taiwan at international sporting events has been an awkward and unattractive title for Taiwanese teams and athletes for many years. In preparation for the 2020 Olympics, some groups are joining forces to do something about it.
On Jan. 15 the“Taiwan 2020 Campaign Council," which is a coalition of several associations, will hold a joint press conference at National Taiwan University's Alumni Hall to formally announce the referendum.
A spokesman for the coalition, Liu Yide (劉一德), stated that regardless of politics or political affiliation, this is something that Taiwanese society has wanted to address for a long time, and this referendum will be an opportunity for everyone to join hands and make their voices heard, reports CNA.
According to CNA, now that the threshold to pass a referendum has been lowered, Taiwan’s representation at international sporting events is an obvious place to start making changes from the “bottom up” that reflect the will of the Taiwanese people.
The logo displayed on the campaign's official facebook page includes a ring above a whale mascot with the words "Let Taiwan Be Taiwan."

 Hi there! Can you share some career tips?

What should I do to propel my career in the right direction? Many people face such questions and find it really hard to get the answer, as knowing right career tips and advice are really important while looking for a job or working with someone. Though your academic knowledge and experience can help you to progress to some extent; you must also know ways to handle a tricky situation which can’t be solved via theoretical solutions.
Thus, we asked Mr Himashu Shekhar, COO of Etika Group for Indochina to share some career tips which can help many people to shape their career. Mr Himanshu has lot’s of duties; as Etika Group (a subsidiary of Asahi breweries) is one of the leading beverage companies of Malaysia with a net turnover of USD300+ million dollars for ASEAN. Thus, Mr Himanshu knows what it takes to excel in the career, and tips that can help anyone to become the best at their job.
1. What must a fresher take into consideration before applying for a job in any company?
A fresher should understand his or her inherent strength, liking/passion, and long-term objective before applying for a job. Usually, a big company backed by a good financial offer is the key criteria, and that’s where we make a mistake. Instead of looking at what the company is offering, we should first ask ourselves where do we want to go? And is the current offer meeting that objective?
2. After Joining the first job, what a person must ensure to make the right impression?
1) The culture of the company—Japanese, American, or a domestic company with a local mindset?
2) The requirement of Job –productivity, efficiency, or just a time bound job?
3) The expectation from a manager (depends on his style).
In short, it’s a combination of factors where a person has to understand the expectation of management, the requirement from the job, style of manager, and culture of the company.
3. What should a person never ever do while working under someone?
In the Indian context (largely valid everywhere), never be a threat to your supervisor either in terms of skill set, network, or work output. Don’t bypass your immediate manager even if you have powerful connections. Be more focused on process than outcome. The right process should lead to the right outcome.
4. What should a person learn apart from academic knowledge for excellence in career?
We Indians are poor at soft skills. It makes a huge impact if a person is looking for a career at a global level. Mastery of different languages is another advantage; as it helps you to build a network, and sensitize cultural aspects. Global Political and economic issues continuously shape our lives; so better to keep abreast of them.
5. How should a person handle/tackle office politics?
Politics is a zero-sum game in my view. It helps initially but harms later. In today’s world, everyone is smart and well-connected. Hence better to stay neutral or stay away. If required make a generic statement only without naming anyone. Keep it confined to corridor discussion, and better to stay focused on work and stay professional. If attacked politically, stay cool and calm, and let your work speak for you. In short, keep working hard, and it will speak for you (though it takes time and thus requires patience).
6. Which one is better, working hard to build a strong resume or doing what you love?
I think both are the same. You can work hard for long only when you love it and have a passion for it. Else it will fizzle out soon. Having a passion for anything we do is a must have to keep the fire on both –1) growth and 2) innovation perspective.
7. Can you share any tip to handle huge workload and stress?
4) A healthy lifestyle –good food as well as a healthy daily routine. All four should go hand in hand else stress will come in. The family is as important or maybe even more than work. we should never neglect that.
8. How can a person balance his career and personal life?
Give your best in office hours and leave the rest to chance. Don’t carry stress or work at home. Somewhere we have to accept self-limitations of our merit and leave the rest to destiny. Spend energy on Hard work and be process oriented instead of focussing on outcome/end result.
9. Can you share some tips to become an effective team leader?
2) Spend time learning about individual priorities, cultural differences if any in the team, personal agendas, and finally lay the groundwork for aligning everyone to organisational objective and hence have one common goal. Remember to leverage an individual’s strength and allocate work accordingly.
10. At last, can you recommend a book which everyone must read?
I would recommend an “ON JOB” experience more than reading a book as an experience is handy, long lasting and impression bound.
If you like these career tips, then make sure to share it with your friends and family.
He carries an experience of over +20 years in FMCG spanning companies like Nerolac paints, Diageo, AMP, and Coca-Cola covering different cultures and geographies with roles of increasing responsibility for years. Start April-18, he moved to a new responsibility of COO for Etika Indo-China, (a 100% subsidiary of Asahi Breweries, Japan).

 What was the outcome of Dinesh D'Souza's violation of federal campaign finance laws?

(CNN) - Conservative commentator and author Dinesh D'Souza has pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign finance law, prosecutors said on Tuesday.
D'Souza, 53, of San Diego, admitted to exceeding donor limits in 2012 by arranging for others to give to the New York Senate campaign of Wendy Long. He also admitted to making false statements about those donations, the office Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said.
According to the indictment, D’Souza and his wife contributed $10,000 to Long's campaign. He then directed associates to contribute on behalf of themselves and their spouses, totaling $20,000. D'Souza was to reimburse them.
Federal election law limits individual campaign contributions to a federal candidate to $2,500 each for a primary and general election campaign.
The law also bars any person from making contributions in the name of others or reimbursing another person's contribution.
A noted conservative activist, D'Souza is a former policy adviser to President Ronald Reagan.
He also directed a 2012 documentary, "2016: Obama's America," that was highly critical of President Barack Obama and based on his book "The Roots of Obama's Rage."
Long lost to Democratic incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand in 2012. She and other Republicans, like Sen. Ted Cruz, have argued the government is unfairly targeting D'Souza for his political affiliation.
D'Souza argued for the charges to be dismissed on grounds of selective prosecution. Last week, a judge denied that motion, citing "no evidence" to support it.
“Following the court's ruling denying Dinesh D'Souza's baseless claim of selective prosecution, D'Souza now has admitted, through his guilty plea, what we have asserted all along – that he knowingly and intentionally violated federal election laws," Bharara said in a statement.
D’Souza faces a maximum of two years in prison.
2 years, one day at a time is a long time. If he actually serves it.
Throw the book at this GOP CLOWN and CROOK.
Obama playing Chicago politics again... Don't dare criticize Obama.
No surprise here. Guns Over People teatards involved,ALWAYS follow the money. They hate the IRS because they follow the money.
When the feds started looking at this guy the rightwingers defended him as an innocent man, and slammed the President for using his office to get back at his enemies, and the dirtbag desouza threw everyone of them under the bus by pleading guilty to the charges rush hannity,laura,and everyone on fox who defended this liar should be ashamed but they have none this is just a continuous chorus of lies coming from the right, and the American people is catching on.
Scandal Scandal Scandal. The right has there fake Benghazi scandal. Time to yell D'SOUZA D'SOUZA D'SOUZA from the top of your lungs.
So this idiot is a conservative guy? What a nonsense brain....dingbat.
Amy, didn't you mean to add, While trying to get the RAT out of Democrat? Wow, this name-calling is a fun game! Truly DemocRATic in that everyone with something snide to say can play! I CONgRATulate CNN for keeping the CONversation courteous!
Another convicted felony will try to tell us of how to vote...lol.
"D'Souza now has admitted, through his guilty plea, what we have asserted all along – that he knowingly and intentionally violated federal election laws," Bharara said in a statement."

 Describe the potential consequences of rushing to a NAFTA agreement in principle.

Rush to hasty agreement in principle would cost Canadian workers, economy.
Scott Sinclair is senior trade researcher at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
Donald Trump's trade negotiator is pushing for an agreement in principle within weeks, a deal that could leave Canada the loser. Photo by Gage Skidmore, Creative Commons licensed.
For the past four weeks, NAFTA negotiators in Washington, D.C., have been working around the clock to reach an agreement in principle before the U.S. and Mexican electoral calendars sideline the Trump administration's hopes for a speedy deal.
Due to the secrecy surrounding the talks, it's hard to predict what will happen. But if this marathon negotiating session ends without a provisional agreement, Canadians should breathe a sigh of relief.
The Trump administration wants a deal before Mexican presidential elections in July and U.S. mid-term elections in November. With Democrats poised to make gains this fall, the White House would prefer to have the current Republican-dominated Congress vote on the new NAFTA.
That's nearly impossible. Supposing an agreement-in-principle can be struck by May 10, U.S. "fast-track" rules require 90 days' notice before the president can sign off on it. Negotiators would have until early July to finalize the legal text.
Once the agreement is signed (Aug. 8 at the earliest), Congress gets a minimum 135 days to study and debate it (until Dec. 22) before implementing legislation can be introduced. Legislators can then take up to 90 sitting days before voting. So, even if agreement is reached over the next two weeks, the clock runs out before a deal can be voted on this year.
More importantly for Canadians, a hastily crafted agreement in principle poses serious and unnecessary dangers.
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer reportedly wants an agreement-in-principle that goes far beyond the usual ministerial handshake and photo op. His plan has been likened to a "term sheet" of the kind used in the corporate world where executives sign off on all the key negotiating issues. Subordinates then work out the details.
In practice, that would mean an agreement in principle would tie the hands of negotiators and predetermine outcomes on vital issues, even if the NAFTA process drags on.
The U.S. is demanding extreme "TPP-plus" protections for intellectual property, for example, that would dramatically increase the cost of medicines in Canada and undermine the Trudeau government's commitment to Pharmacare and lower brand-name drug costs. The wrong kind of digital trade rules could undermine our privacy rights as well as the competitiveness of innovative Canadian firms.
Canada's dairy, poultry and egg farmers are rightly fearful of a premature agreement. It would be wrong-headed and heartless - not to mention politically risky so close to an election - to sacrifice these family farms for short-term considerations.
Few details have surfaced about what a new NAFTA holds in store for vital public protections, but Canada's openness to Trump's goal of reducing the "regulatory burden" on business, and recently leaked provisions meant to pre-empt front-of-packaging labelling for unhealthy food products, are ominous.
If the Trudeau government is serious about its progressive trade agenda, it makes sense to wait until after July's Mexican elections to conclude NAFTA's labour chapter. A new Mexican president will almost certainly be more supportive of stronger labour standards and rights for Mexican workers, who under NAFTA have endured stagnant wages while being denied the right to form independent unions.
The U.S. has reportedly pulled in its horns on auto trade, retreating from its previous insistence on U.S.-only domestic content in NAFTA's rules of origin. But even if agreement on this vital sector is now within reach, it's unlikely other pieces of the negotiating puzzle, including what to do with NAFTA's controversial investor-state dispute process, will fall magically into place.
There will be no going back on any concessions Canada makes to get an immediate agreement in principle. If anything, these will become the baseline for future arm-twisting to get a final deal across the finish line.
If standing up for Canadian interests provokes a fit of Trumpian pique and threats of punitive tariffs on steel and aluminum or even NAFTA withdrawal, so be it. Many studies have found that the impacts of NAFTA termination on Canada would be disruptive but manageable.
Canada should not be pushed into unfavourable, permanent trade-offs to meet an arbitrary and likely unachievable deadline. Someone needs to point out the obvious - a signed, sealed and delivered NAFTA 2.0 this year is already out of reach. The emperor has no clothes.

 What are some alternatives to Cool Whip for making popsicles? Respond in 62 sentences.

It’s pretty much summer and that can only mean one thing: popsicles! Popsicles are so refreshing after a hot day and they’re SO easy to make. I recently bought this new popsicle mold (a more traditional shape than my rocket ship popsicle mold and wanted to test it out.
Instead of making a fruit juice based pop, I combined COOL WHIP whipped topping and Nutella to make a creamy, rich popsicle that’s perfect for a light dessert. All you have to do is give the ingredients a quick trip to your blender, pour into a mold and just like magic you’ll have an incredible snack or dessert to cool you down.
Place all ingredients in a blender and process until fully blended.
Pour into popsicle molds. Freeze for a few hours, then enjoy.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of COOL WHIP. The opinions and text are all mine.
This look so refreshing! I need to make them ASAP!
Sounds delicious. Can’t wait to make them for my grandchildren. Yum.
I wanted to rate this 2 stars but it wont let me do any less than 3 but,I made these last night and the same thing happened to me as Jenn. Only the sticks came out. I left them overnight and it’s still stuck in the mold. I guess it’s going to be ice cream now.
soak your sticks in water while you mix the popsickles and pre feeze them 1 1/2 hour, than put your stick in. To get them out of the mold hold them some seconds under hot running water. Using plastik cups makes it easier.
Your recipe sounds delicious! =) I love Nutella!
I made this last week for my kiddos in my Zoku Popsicle mold. Delicious! Wayyyy better than traditional fudge pops!!! Thanks!
Stephanie, that’s awesome! So glad you like them! I’ve been super curious about getting a Zoku…I’m too impatient to wait for popsicles to freeze!
I have tried these and they are real good. The only problem I had was they stuck in the molds (I spooned them out lol). Anyone have any suggestions?
Did you try running hot water on the outside of the molds before pulling out the popsicles?
Can you add more Nutella to make the popcicles more chocolate? Or does that mess up the consistency?
I haven’t tried adding more, so I can’t be sure, but you could probably adda little more without messing up the consistency.
Cool Whip is terrible for you! Do you have a healthy alternative for this recipe? Cool Whip Original is made of water, hydrogenated vegetable oil (including coconut and palm oils), high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, skimmed milk, light cream, and less than 2% sodium caseinate (a milk derivative), natural and artificial flavor, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60, sorbitan monostearate, and beta carotene (as a coloring).
Try using a can of coconut cream and Nutella and omitting the milk all together. Adds a lovely flavor and better than cool whip.
Kelly, I found this at Walmart http://www.truwhip.com/ It wasn’t quite the same but I’d rather use it than coolwhip.
Micki recently posted Light Up the Night – Free!
Have you looked at the ingredients in Nutella lately??
Just made the Nutells Popsicles, can’t wait to try them! This recipe only filled 4 molds, so I combined the Cool Whip with pineapple juice and poured that in the other 4 molds. OOOH I’m so excited!
Did the pineapple deter the freeze?
Is there something else you can substitute the Nutella for?
Unfortunately I omitted the cool whip and tried using coconut cream instead. The pops never froze!
Nothing like getting a free, and interesting, idea for a low cost dessert that most kids (and adults) would like…and then turning around and complaining that it’s unhealthy…then requesting an alternative without doing even the slightest bit of your own research. SMH.
I was taught “If you cannot say something nice,do not say anything at all”.
Makes me shake my head in disbelief at people’s negative comments.
Could you use peanut butter instead of Nutella? Or how about Hershey’s chocolate spread for a fudgesicle?
Hi! I am from the UK and we don’t have Cool Whip here. Can I just use some double cream or whipping cream (and whip it myself)?

 What do you think about the US troops being sent to Syria?

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that tomorrow (Monday) President Obama will announce that he is quintupling the number of US troops inside Syria. From the current 50 troops the US admits are operating in Syria, the US will raise the total to 300 under the guise of increasing efforts against ISIS in the country.
The Journal reports that Obama has been "persuaded by his top military advisers and others that additional U.S. personnel would allow the Pentagon to extend recent gains against Islamic State." He will make the announcement while in Germany.
These additional troops are said to be in pursuit of the US policy of persuading Sunnis to join with the Kurds to fight ISIS around its self-proclaimed capital in Raqqa. This strategy has never made much sense aside from in the feverish imaginations of Beltway interventionists. In reality it is part of a larger US effort to deny the Syrian government a victory against ISIS in the city and in eastern Syria.
The "race for Raqqa" began in earnest in February, when Russian-led efforts left ISIS in full retreat eastward toward their capital. The "race" was intensified after Syrian forces liberated Palmyra from ISIS and threatened to sweep ISIS from the country.
That is why the US government did not welcome the Syrian government liberation of Palmyra from ISIS. Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said of that liberation: "in our view, that is kind of like going -- at least for the people of Palmyra, that is certainly a movement from the frying pan into the fire, isn't it?" Washington would rather have ISIS in charge of Palmyra than the Syrian government.
We should remember that the US military presence in Syria, as well as the US military presence above Syrian airspace is a violation of Syria's sovereignty and a violation of international law. Despite John Kerry's admonition to Russia that, "you just don't in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pre-text," that is exactly what the United States is doing in Syria.
The US escalation will prolong the suffering of the Syrian people and delay or deny a victory by the secular Syrian government over Saudi/Turk/US-backed Islamist extremists who have fought for five years to overthrow it. And it may just get some US service members killed, ironically fighting to the ultimate benefit of ISIS or al-Qaeda's Nusra Front which will likely take over Syria if the Assad government is defeated.

 Explain the new features and changes in the Hugo 0.33 release.

Hugo 0.33: The New Kinder Surprise!
This is a full makeover of the layout selection logic with full custom layout and type support (many have asked for this). Also, Hugo now respects the url value in front matter for all page types, including sections. Also, you can now configure uglyURLs per section.
But this release is also a follow-up to the 0.32 release which was all about bundles with resources and powerful image processing. With this release it is now simple to add metadata to your images and other bundle resources.
This release represents 41 contributions by 3 contributors to the main Hugo code base.
We have re-implemented and unified the template layout lookup logic. This has made it more powerful and much simpler to understand. We don’t expect any sites to break because of this. We have tested lots of Hugo sites, including the 200 themes.
The indexes type is removed from template lookup. It’s not in the documentation, and is a legacy term inherited from very old Hugo versions.
If you have sub-dirs in your shiny new bundles (e.g. my-bundle/images) and use the *Prefix* methods to find them, we have made an unintended change that affects you. See this issue.

 Have you heard Elon Musk bought more Tesla shares?

Elon Musk bought another 72,500 shares in Tesla, worth about $24.9 million.
Musk owns about 19 percent of the company.
Elon Musk just made another big bet on himself.
Over the last two days, Musk has bought 72,500 shares of Tesla, when shares were trading at $342 to $347, according to an SEC filing. The total purchase is worth about $24.9 million.
Tesla has an abundance of skeptics, but Musk has continued to fork over cash for shares in the electric-car maker. Back in early May, Musk bought 33,000 Tesla shares, then worth about $10 million. Shares were trading just below $300 at that point.
Musk is Tesla's largest shareholder. He now owns about 33.7 million shares of Tesla, a roughly 19 percent slice of all outstanding shares.
Tesla declined to comment beyond what was in the filing.
Musk made his purchases shortly after Tesla said it will cut about 9 percent of its workforce of 46,000 employees, in salaried roles outside vehicle production. The company is trying to improve efficiency and profitability as it continues the frequently delayed and often struggling production ramp of its Model 3 sedan.
The company is still burning through billions in cash and has faced challenges on several fronts, including labor disputes, executive departures and investigations into the role its Autopilot driver-assistance system has played in some high-profile crashes.
Despite Musk's apparent confidence, Tesla is the most shorted U.S. equity, with a $12.82 billion short exposure, according to financial analytics firm S3 Partners. That's 22 percent of all shares outstanding.
For comparison, Apple is the second most shorted U.S. stock, Amazon is third, and Netflix fourth.
But since June 1st, Tesla shares have risen 18 percent and short sellers have lost about $2 billion, S3 said.
Despite this, short sellers such as Jim Chanos of Kynikos Associates are still convinced Tesla has some fundamental problems achieving profitability.
"The basic problem is that he is making the cars at not enough of a gross margin to make money," he said on CNBC's "Closing Bell" on Wednesday. He added that Tesla may have an even tougher time making money on its cars as more competitors begin rolling out.
Tesla expects Model 3 margins to break even in the second quarter, and be positive in the third and fourth quarters. The company is still targeting a long-term gross margin of 25 percent on the car.

 Describe the characters of Star Wars: Rogue One.

When the teaser trailer dropped, we suspected that Donnie Yen's character might be Zatoichi-esque blind warrior. It is confirmed. According to EW, Chirrut Imwe is not a Jedi, but he's devoted to their ways and has used his spirituality to overcome his blindness and become a formidable warrior.
"Chirrut falls into the category of being a warrior monk," says Lucasfilm president and Rogue One producer Kathleen Kennedy. Although the Jedi are no longer around to protect the galaxy, "he very much still believes in everything the Jedi were about."
Baze Malbus, played by Chinese actor Jiang Wen, is Chirrut's BFF. Heavily armored, he prefers a blaster to hokey religions and ancient weapons, but he is devoted to protecting his friend Chirrut at all costs.
"He understands Chirrut's spiritual centeredness, but he doesn't necessarily support it," Kennedy says. Baze goes along with this Force business because "it's what his friend deeply believes."
Bodhi Rook, played by Pakistani-British actor Riz Ahmed, is this Rebel squad's lead pilot. He can be hot-headed and abrasive, but he's a skilled and dependable ace pilot. "He tends to be a little tense, a little volatile" Kennedy says, "but everybody in the group really relies on his technical skills."
Star Wars: Rogue One hits theaters on December 16.

 Describe the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and the protections it provides for people over the age of 40.

Federal employees have 45 days to contact an EEO counselor.
Age discrimination involves treating an applicant or employee less favorably because of his or her age.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older. It does not protect workers under the age of 40, although some states have laws that protect younger workers from age discrimination. It is not illegal for an employer or other covered entity to favor an older worker over a younger one, even if both workers are age 40 or older.
Discrimination can occur when the victim and the person who inflicted the discrimination are both over 40.
The law prohibits discrimination in any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, benefits, and any other term or condition of employment.
It is unlawful to harass a person because of his or her age.
Harassment can include, for example, offensive or derogatory remarks about a person's age. Although the law doesn't prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that aren't very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted).
An employment policy or practice that applies to everyone, regardless of age, can be illegal if it has a negative impact on applicants or employees age 40 or older and is not based on a reasonable factor other than age (RFOA).

 Write a proclamation declaring June 2018 as African-American Music Appreciation Month.

During African-American Music Appreciation Month, we celebrate the tremendous achievements and contributions of African-American musicians. The musical ingenuity of talented African American artists laid the foundation for so many recognizable and cherished genres of music, including rock and roll, rhythm and blues, jazz, gospel, hip hop, and rap.
Throughout our history, African-American music has demonstrated its power to elicit comfort, healing, happiness, conviction, and inspiration — as well as its ability to unite people of all backgrounds. Today, it resonates in jazz quartets, rock and roll guitar solos, gospel choirs, and hip hop beats. The expression of these artistic and diverse styles of music acts as a voice for freedom, justice, love, and the pursuit of happiness.
African-American music has played a significant role in shaping the American dream and instilling a sense of pride in being an “American.” The talent and creativity of pioneers like Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, Etta James, Whitney Houston, and many others have indelibly enriched our culture and our lives. As Etta James noted, “I wanna show that gospel, country, blues, rhythm and blues, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll are all just really one thing. Those are the American music and that is the American culture.” Etta James recognized that the history and evolution of music in America reflects our country’s cultural uniqueness and our country’s commitment to protect and love every voice.
African-American music brings together people of all backgrounds — people who hum it, whistle it, and sing it — to enjoy blended tunes and hard-to-hit notes. Its contagious rhythm empowers its listeners to recall memories of the past and grow excited for the future. Our Nation is indebted to all the African-American artists whose music fills our airways and our homes, lifts our spirits, and compels us to think, dance, and sing. These musicians and their legacies ignite our imaginations and prove to us that the sky is the limit.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2018 as African-American Music Appreciation Month. I call upon public officials, educators, and all the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate activities and programs that raise awareness and appreciation of African-American music.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-second.

 Explain why investing in Tablo is the best choice for free HD TV.

Free high-definition TV! I honestly had no idea accessing free HD channels was as easy as plugging an antenna into a TV, or in my case the Tablo unit.
I have two toddlers at my house. Any parent can tell you that trying to watch a live show with toddlers is almost impossible. You almost always miss a large portion of the show. In the event of a disruption or distraction I wanted to be able to pause or record live TV and come back to it later. I looked at numerous DVR systems but Tablo stood out to me as it offers the ability to watch on multiple TVs within the home via a Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, and the most recent edition of Apple TV.
The best thing about Tablo for me is being able to watch television on multiple TVs but only having to purchase one DVR unit and one antenna. Plus, this is all done with no monthly bill or subscription required (although I have purchased a lifetime subscription to be able to access Tablo's advanced features).
I have 3 TVs in my house. Two of the TVs have Roku sticks and the other an Amazon Fire stick. Both devices run the Tablo app providing access to Tablo’s live TV stream and recorded content as well as streaming services from Netflix and Amazon Prime. Connected to my Tablo, I have a 1 TB Western Digital external hard drive which holds approximately 250 hours of HD programming.
Don’t wait! Every day you waste you’re losing money. I was a subscriber to Dish for the last 8 years and spent around $9,000 when I could have just invested a small amount in Tablo to watch and record the same TV shows for free. I’ve researched a lot of other DVR systems and Tablo stands out way above the rest. The ability to only use one DVR, one antenna and create a wireless whole-home setup cannot be done with any other DVR system.

 Describe your experience with W. A. Production's SphereQuad plugin.

"Wow, sphere squad is works in a really creative way and easy to manipulate the sounds, i use for easy transition in the parts of my tracks ,specially the sequencer and env followers for the fx , love it!"
"This plugin really takes rhythmic modulation to the next level. The standout feature here is how the signal flows between the different fx modules and I love experimenting by routing the audio in complex ways."
- The Samplecast. A show for sample library geeks, plug-in fans and soundware enthusiasts.
"Didn't think there could be a better filter sweep than the ones I already had.. WA does it again!"
Here at W. A. Production we’re always looking for clever ways to add movement and excitement to our tracks. However, it’s tiresome to keep loading up the same effects chains again and again. This is why we created SphereQuad as an easy and extremely flexible solution for bringing complex rhythmic movement, filter sweeps and stereo madness to your mixes.
The concept behind SphereQuad is a combination of stereo flanger, phaser and chorus effects fed into a stereo filter, combined with an onboard step sequencer that controls the filter. However, the execution of these effects is far more interesting as you can control the left and right filters independently to push sound around the stereo field. The flexible routing between the different modules can be quickly dialled in to create a huge variety of special effects.
Each of the Flanger, Phaser and Chorus modules has multiple parameters for adjusting the main characteristics. The modules can be activated individually, or mixed and routed in various combinations to create a wall of unusual effects.
The 16 step sequencer controls the filter cutoff and can be synced to the BPM of your track or be set to flow completely independently. Feed the signal from the Flanger, Phaser and Chorus into this sequencer for ultimate rhythmic modulation.
Independent left and right channel filter shapes, speeds, ranges and types can be programmed to make the filtered sound fly around the stereo field, creating some mind-bending sequences at the click of a button.
The real-time waveform display shows the effect of the filter cutoff, giving visual feedback on the stereo effect of SphereQuad. Meanwhile, the master output module provides a Dry / Wet control and Saturation dial for increasing the odd harmonics and the overall intensity of the output.
Over 60 presets act as perfect jumping-off points for your own creative ideas. They are logically named by instrument group and effect making it easy to find the descriptive definition of a particular effect.
We’ve been using SphereQuad for a while now and find it incredibly useful for everything from spacey synth leads to making bass lines wobble. We’ve even dialled it in on full mixes to create DJ-style breakdowns with massive filter sweeps and extreme flanging. There’s no instrument we haven’t tried to transformed with SphereQuad and the effect is impressively huge every time. W. A. Production are real-life producers making creative plugins to help you achieve studio effects quickly and easily. Enjoy!
SphereQuad is such a good effect processor, really nice to work with it !

 "Marianne here -- I'm concerned about the use of wheat-based soy sauce in labeled gluten-free foods. We need the FDA to do its job - to protect the health of those with celiac disease and to enforce their own rule."

Please investigate labeled gluten-free foods containing wheat-based soy sauce and enforce your own rule.
A gluten-free claim is included on the front label.
Ingredients: Pineapple juice (water, pineapple juice concentrate), Soy sauce (water, soybeans, wheat, salt), Water, Vinegar (distilled, cider, water), Brown sugar, Sugar, Salt, Dehydrated garlic, Raisin juice concentrate, Spices, Orange peel, Caramel color, Natural flavor, Dehydrated onion, Vegetable gums (for consistency), Potassium sorbate & Sodium benzoate (preservatives).
What additional requirements does FDA propose to verify a “gluten-free” claim on hydrolyzed or fermented foods?
The food meets the definition for “gluten-free” in 21 CFR 101.91(a)(3), including that the food had less than 20 ppm gluten, before fermentation or hydrolysis.
What is an example of a hydrolyzed or fermented food product that would still not be permitted to bear the “gluten-free” claim in its labeling under this proposed rule?
Fermented or hydrolyzed soy sauce made from gluten-containing grains would not be permitted to bear a “gluten-free” claim, unless the grains were processed to remove gluten and the use of the ingredient resulted in the presence of less than 20 ppm gluten in the food. If, however, the soy sauce was made using a roasted grain that does not contain gluten, then it would be permitted to bear the “gluten-free” claim if it meets the other requirements of the gluten-free labeling rule.
FDA, have you changed your policy on the use of wheat-based soy sauce in labeled gluten-free foods?
FDA, If you have not changed your policy, please reach out to the manufacturers listed above and assess whether they are in compliance with the gluten-free labeling rule.
FDA, Gluten Free Watchdog is more than happy to send you the products we have in our procession for label verification.
FDA, protect the health of people with celiac disease and enforce your own rule.
We need the FDA to do their job–one that requires accountability, transparency and vigilance as their job is to protect, regulate, and safeguard the health and well being of all people. Protections for people with autoimmune issues; namely, celiac are critical. Helping them navigate the marketplace with “truthful” labeling of products is necessary to ensure their health and safety. We need the FDA to serve these needs first and foremost.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Marianne. FDA, please enforce your own rule!
Yes, we need the support of the FDA. Nearly 1 in 100 taxpayers have Celiac Disease, and those with Gluten Sensitivity and Intolerance only add to that ratio. An informed advocate is showing the FDA some glaring regulatory failures. All the FDA has to do is act. Please, FDA, act on your mission and your constituents’ behalf.

 Describe the work of The Roger Federer Foundation.

The Roger Federer foundation is set to open its 81st pre-school in Malawi after spending approximately $13.5million in one of the poorest countries in the world.
Federer, who is currently the tennis world No 2 after losing out in the Wimbledon final to Novak Djokovic, set up his 10-year plan in 2011 to improve children’s education and has already established 80 pre-schools in the country.
With the large sum of money already invested in Malawi, the foundation hopes to improve the lives of over 150,000 Malawian children by 2021 the Business Standard reports.
‘I believe every young child should have the opportunity to spend some years in such a centre because early education is the foundation of learning,’ Federer said upon visiting the school.
With 15 programs running in Switzerland, Malawi, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe already, The Roger Feder foundation has set the goal of changing the lives of one million children by 2018.

 Describe the joint interview between Journey and Def Leppard musicians.

JOURNEY guitarist Neal Schon has hit out at record companies for hoarding the lion’s share of profits from streaming services.
In a joint interview with Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott simulcast on Sirius XM and Facebook Live, the 63-year-old described his band’s share of revenue from the streaming of their 1981 hit “Don’t Stop Believin'” as “minuscule”.
“I’m OK in the fact that people can get it so easily – but I’m really not OK with the laws still,” said Schon. “I know that they’re working on them because we’ve got attorneys that are working on them.
“What is happening is that labels are doing really extremely well again, where they were going out of business.
“They’re doing well off our money. They’ve got these pads, three million dollar offices, signing bands, having money to mess around with.
The interview was convened to promote a 58-date North American tour by Journey and Def Leppard which begins on May 21.
He said the band divided its repertoire into A, B and C lists in order of popularity – and that playing anything off the C list created problems with fans who become upset the track was performed at one venue and not another.
Elliott said a third band would be added only for stadium dates.

 Explain the President Obama's 2015 budget in terms of spending, taxation, and borrowing.

Easily share any of the charts below by clicking on the social media buttons directly below them.
President Obama recently released his 2015 budget proposal. And budgets are about priorities: What we’re going to spend money on, and how we’re going to raise the money that we’re spending. These pictures tell the story of the priorities in the president’s budget.
This chart shows how President Obama plans to spend $2.6 trillion in mandatory spending in fiscal year 2015. Mandatory spending includes programs like Social Security and Medicare, which are often called earned-benefit programs. Lawmakers do not choose the exact amount of money spent on these programs, because it depends on how many people qualify for benefits.
Note: While there is some mandatory spending that occurs in categories beyond the five that are shown in this chart, they are so small that together they account for less than 1 percent of the total and have been omitted.
This chart shows how funding for military and non-military discretionary spending has changed over time. Military spending accounts for 55 percent of the president’s 2015 discretionary budget proposal, while non-military spending accounts for 45 percent.
This chart shows federal spending and tax revenue as a share of the overall U.S. economy all the way back to 1930. In 2015, President Obama proposes federal spending levels totaling 21 percent of the U.S. economy and tax revenue equal to 18 percent.
This chart shows how tax revenue from individuals and corporations has changed over time. Individual income taxes will account for 46 percent of total tax revenue in 2015, while corporations will contribute 13.5 percent. Other federal revenue will come from payroll taxes, as well as customs and excise taxes.
President Obama proposes collecting $3.34 trillion in total tax revenue in fiscal year 2015, with individual income taxes and payroll taxes – which fund Social Security and Medicare – as the largest revenue sources. Tax revenue will cover 84 percent of total spending. The rest – 16 percent – will come from borrowing.
This chart shows the size of the federal budget deficit (or surplus) as a share of the overall U.S. economy since 1930. In President Obama’s 2015 budget, the deficit amounts to 3.1 percent of the economy. As you can see, that’s roughly on par with annual deficits since World War II.
This graphic shows how the government brings in revenue - from different types of taxes as well as borrowing - and how it spends money on programs ranging from Medicare to education to the military to interest on the federal debt.

 Describe the recent defection of a senior commander from the Syrian Democratic Forces to Turkey.

AMMAN (Reuters) - A senior commander defected to Turkey on Wednesday from the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a leading combatant in the fight against Islamic State, Syrian rebel officials said, in the first such departure from its higher ranks.
They said Brigadier General Talal Silo handed himself in at dawn to the Free Syrian Army (FSA), an adversary of the SDF, near Jarablus city in northern Syria where he was then escorted to Turkey, which backs some FSA groups in that area.
The officials gave no reason for move by Silo, who was the SDF spokesman, but it follows months of growing discontent by some Arab tribes with the SDF, an alliance of Kurdish and Arab forces that is dominated by the Kurdish YPG.
The Kurdish YPG militia and its political allies have carved out autonomous cantons in the north, and now control nearly a quarter of Syria. Their influence angers neighbor Turkey, which considers the YPG an extension of the banned Kurdistan Workers’ Party that has fought a decades-long insurgency on Turkish soil.
Reuters could not immediately reach the SDF for comment.
U.S.-backed militias and the Syrian army have been advancing in separate offensives against Islamic State in eastern Syria, piling pressure on a small stretch of remaining territory the group still holds in oil-rich areas near the Iraqi border.

 Describe the history of African Americans at Princeton University.

Bruce Wright applied for admission to Princeton University in the 1930s, having spent some of his childhood living in its shadow in Princeton, New Jersey. He was excited to be awarded a scholarship, and showed up in the fall ready to start as a freshman. So far as the Dean of Admissions was concerned, however, there was just one problem: Wright was black, and the Admissions Office hadn’t known that when they offered him a place among white Princetonians. Though many students who stood in line to register with Wright were not at all resistant to having him there, Dean Radcliffe Heermance (Graduate Class of 1909) decided that Princeton would not accept him as one of its own. In a later interview, Wright recalled, Heermance had told him: “If you’re trying to come here, you’re going someplace where you’re not wanted.” With no other recourse he could see, Wright went outside, sat down on his suitcase, and waited for his father to drive down from New York to pick him up.

You may view video of Wright talking about this exchange here, beginning at about nine minutes into the documentary. After the University of Notre Dame also turned Wright away for the same reason, he ultimately earned a B.A. from Lincoln University in 1942, then went on to New York Law School. Wright spent 25 years as a judge in New York, including his service on the New York Supreme Court 1982-1994. Princeton University’s Class of 2001 named Wright an honorary member at their Class Day on June 4, 2001.
Although it is clear that attitudes have changed significantly at Princeton since Heermance revoked Wright’s offer of admission, not all alumni agreed with Heermance at the time. Pressure to admit African Americans to Princeton began appearing in the pages of the Princeton Alumni Weekly in the mid-1930s, around the same time as Heermance sent Wright away. When World War II began its upheaval of American life, these pressures intensified. Ultimately, the Navy decided to integrate Princeton, when in 1945 it sent four African Americans to its V-12 program on campus. In 1947, John Howard became Princeton’s first black alumnus. Thanks to student activism and outside pressures, in 1948, Heermance was forced to reverse his position and open Princeton to black applicants. African Americans trickled in very slowly; in 1963, Princeton had just ten. Today, Princeton reports an enrollment of 406 African American undergraduates, about 7.8% of the total undergraduate population.
Note: A thank you to Melvin McCray ’74 for noting that we had repeated the mistake of the Daily Princetonian by listing Arthur Jewell Wilson as the first African American alumnus of Princeton University. Using the Undergraduate Alumni Records 1921-2008 (AC199), we have confirmed that although Wilson did graduate a year early when his degree was conferred in June 1947, John Howard actually won this race by about five months, receiving his degree the previous February.

 What is the latest on Liverpool's transfer activity?

Liverpool are in the final stages of attempting to reach an agreement with Lyon for Nabil Fekir and are hopeful of concluding a deal in the region of £60 million by the end of this weekend.
The 24-year-old, who can adeptly operate across midfield and in the forward areas, has been Jurgen Klopp’s primary target to enhance his already explosive attacking unit.
The Ligue 1 side’s president, Jean-Michel Aulas - a notoriously tough negotiator, said on Thursday that the dialogue between the clubs was “at a standstill” and a transfer would not be ratified during the World Cup.
He added that he “did not think” there would be a change in the matter before the tournament either, however, sources in France have revealed Lyon are also privately in favour of having the player’s future resolved rapidly.
With Fekir insistent on Anfield being his next destination, scuppering any chance of a post-competition auction, Les Bleus preferring a quick conclusion, and there being no guarantee that the skilled dribbler’s value will increase or even hold in the next few weeks, there is optimism that formalities can be finalised before Didier Deschamps’ charges fly out to Russia.
Fekir, an incisive passer with a penchant for shots from distance, and who is a skilled direct free-kick taker, will fill the void left by Philippe Coutinho’s departure to Barcelona.
The pursuit of the multi-functional star is part of an aggressive assault in the transfer market by Liverpool, who have demonstrated their intentions to kick on following the Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid in Kiev.
As already evidenced with the rapid move for Fabinho, the advanced deal for Keita and the record January signing of Virgil van Dijk, the Reds are strengthening their spine, while correcting key weaknesses in the squad.
Further work will be done to elevate Klopp’s depth of options, with Stoke’s Xherdan Shaqiri - a versatile attacking midfielder capable of filling in further forward - of interest.
His release clause of around £12m would make him a low-risk candidate with quality to deputise in a number of positions, while also providing the manager with greater variety.
The goalkeeping department, meanwhile, has long been a concern for Liverpool and Roma’s Alisson emerged last year as the club’s leading choice to rectify that.
The Reds iced talks with his representatives in February after being quoted a rising £62m - almost double the British-record fee for a gloveman, with fellow Brazilian Ederson having cost Manchester City £34.7m.
There is a wealth of admiration for Jan Oblak of Atletico Madrid, who will not be short of elite suitors, but his release clause of £88m is also prohibitive.
If there is a opportunity to broker a transfer at more manageable terms, Liverpool would not hesitate to recruit a pedigreed keeper, which would underscore an excellent summer of incomings.
