[NDSi] melonDSI x64 beta I

Nintendo DSI emulowana w melonDS? Przynajmniej taki zamysł pojawił się w deweloperce autora tego emulatora StapleButter'a (lolSnes, blargSNES). Póki co, pierwsza beta, wymagająca trochę zachodu jeśli chodzi o poszukiwania części składowych emulowanej maszynki (przynajmniej dsikeys.bin - resztę od biedy można jakoś szybko skompletować).

melonDSI beta 1 15/10/2019

  • Anyway, here we go: we present you melonDSi, in unfinished beta glory. The JIT beta will follow, but I first want to ensure Generic is comfortable with it.
    The end goal will be to merge this with regular melonDS once it's in a better state, but, for now, we're providing it for the curious folks.

How to use melonDSi

BE SURE TO READ THIS BEFORE USING MELONDSI. You are using a beta release, provided with zero polishing and with a debug console. I expect that you know what you are doing to atleast some extent.

melonDSi will require several files to be dumped from a DSi. It's a bit messy right now, but we hope to come up with more user-friendly solutions in the future.

So, if you have a DSi, you might want to install unlaunch on it.

A quick rundown of the files melonDSi requires:

  • bios9.bin / bios7.bin: DS-mode BIOS images. Those are the same as the ones from a DS. They shouldn't be required to get DSi software running, but melonDSi will refuse to start if they aren't present.
  • bios9i.bin / bios7i.bin: DSi-mode BIOS images. Those can be dumped from your DSi using the good ol' dsbf_dump.nds.
  • firmware.bin: SPI FLASH image. See above. dsbf_dump.bin yields a 'FWxxxxxx.bin' file which you need to rename. It should be 128K.
  • dsikeys.bin: AES keys at boot time, dumpable using dsidumper.
  • initmem9.bin / initmem7.bin: Boot-time contents of ARM9 ITCM and ARM7 WRAM, containing several other useful keys. See above.
  • nand.bin: DSi NAND image, ideally dumped with fwTool. This should be dumped from the same console as dsikeys.bin and initmem9/7.bin.

  • Make sure that your DSi-mode ARM7 BIOS is good. Open bios7i.bin in a hex editor. Ensure that the first 32 bytes are the following:
    06 00 00 EA 06 00 00 EA 1F 00 00 EA 04 00 00 EA
    03 00 00 EA FE FF FF EA 13 00 00 EA 00 00 00 EA
  • Make sure that your NAND dump has the 'nocash footer' at the end. Open it in a hex editor and check that it has the string 'DSi eMMC CID/CPU' at offset 0xF000000. This is the beginning of the 64-byte 'nocash footer', which holds the eMMC CID and console ID.

Ideally make sure that direct boot is disabled.

Using melonDSi

  • As with regular melonDS, System->Run will boot the firmware, which should land you into the DSi menu if you did everything right.
  • You will need to recalibrate the touchscreen through the system settings app to have it work correctly.
  • melonDSi can boot some DSi-mode apps, but they currently don't work that well.

Booting games

  • melonDSi is able to boot DS-mode games from the DSi menu. They currently run with the DS-mode BIOSes and backwards-compatible touchscreen mode, but at the 133MHz clock speed and with 16MB of RAM.
  • DSi-enhanced games do not boot yet
  • Direct boot is likely to break things as it hasn't been updated yet.

Other issues

  • Do not attempt using savestates, they can and will go wrong.
  • melonDSi is based on melonDS 0.8.1, so it will have the bugs present in that version.

melonDS 0.9 04/09/2019

JIT recompiler

  • Brought to you by Generic (aka RSDuck), the new JIT recompiler enables melonDS to run much faster, and quite often reach fullspeed even when emulating DSi titles! There are a few settings you can try out to get the most out of this JIT. While it has been heavily tested and worked on, it's still imperfect.

  DSi emulation

  • This is the other flagship feature of this release: melonDS now emulates the DSi!
  • You will need a NAND and firmware dump from your DSi, as well as augmented BIOS dumps (such as those that NO$GBA requires). I intend to release a BIOS dumper to make this easier.
  • Note that this is still experimental. For one, direct boot will not work under DSi mode. Not everything is running yet, either, but we're getting there. melonDS does not yet emulate some hardware like the DSi cameras (but on the other hand, emulates DSi wifi).
  • melonDS has a small hack to bypass the region check. However, DSiware titles can't be run standalone yet, they will need to be installed to the NAND.

New Qt UI

  • This means we get to do more without needing to work around the limitations that libui had. For the end user, this also means a bigger binary, but on the other hand, on Windows, all the dependencies are linked statically, so melonDS does not come with external DLLs anymore.
  • The new interface adds features that were long requested: for example, you can open the emu settings dialog to point melonDS at your desired BIOS/firmware/etc files, without needing to move/rename them around.

  • This is another popular request, and here it is. melonDS lets you enter Action Replay codes to mess with your games in whatever ways you want.

  • melonDS now supports letting homebrew access files and directories on a SD card image. Note that for now, you will need to provide an image file, melonDS does not yet build such images on the fly like DeSmuME can do.
  • Similarly, you can also use a SD card image to emulate the console's SD card in DSi mode.

 ... and the rest!

  • As usual, there are plenty of little improvements with this melonDS release, that are too many to list here, but you may discover them on your own! Or find them in the changelog (which we are still busy compiling - it's a big release).

Author's comment

melonDS 0.8.2 is out! This is not so revolutionary, but we're fixing a few issues.
Namely, there have been some fixes to the OpenGL renderer. If you were one of those for whom it did not work, we hope that now it will work. There are still issues with it, but we will eventually find them and fix them all.
I also undid a quick hack I did in 0.8.1 to try fixing texture alignment problems, that in the end caused more issues than it fixed. This problem will need a cleverer solution. It basically stems from the fact that the DS rasterizer works differently from OpenGL: it has no subpixel precision, and calculates color/texcoord for exact pixel positions, where OpenGL calculates them for a position that is +(0.5,0.5) inside the pixel.
I also hope to improve the GL renderer some more. In mind are: texture cache, texture upscaling/filtering, applying filtering to the 2D layer, doing something for dual-screen 3D...
We fixed a bug with the 'map joystick button and axis' feature of 0.8.1, where, if you mapped an axis control alone, it would also map 'button 1' alongside it.
melonDS now explicitly disables VSync when using OpenGL, atleast under Windows.
We also fixed a bunch of issues, potential crashes, etc...
... and changed kMaxIterationCycles from 16 to 64. That constant controls how many maximum cycles the ARM9 can run before control is given to the ARM7 and other system components. This change might affect accuracy negatively (it is worth noting that melonDS has several provisions for on-demand sync, bypassing kMaxIterationCycles) but has been found to give a small speed boost.

Author's comment

Input upgrade
The input code has been reworked to be more pleasant to deal with, especially with regards to adding hotkeys. It is now possible to map keys with modifiers, like Ctrl+Z or Shift+R or even combinations like Ctrl+Alt+Q. It is worth noting that during mapping, you should use left-hand Ctrl/Alt/Shift keys for these mappings(...)
I have also been upgrading joystick support. You can now choose which joystick to use, and can map axes to buttons/hotkeys.
I also added support for multiple hat controls.

This new, optional feature shows some short, temporary status messages onscreen. For example, when loading or saving savestates, pausing, resuming...

New hotkeys
You might remember that some early melonDS versions had a secret hardcoded fast-forward hotkey. This seems to have appeared in version 0.3, but eventually disappeared with the UI revamp in version 0.5.
Well, now, with Ace4896's contribution, this feature is back with a proper hotkey mapping. There is also a 'toggle' hotkey that enables or disables the framerate limiter.
I also added hotkeys for pausing and resetting emulation.

OpenGL fixes
Several of the crashes and rendering errors that appeared in 0.8, stemming from the new OpenGL support, have been fixed in this version.
I also added a little hack to support line triangles in OpenGL, and a preliminary implementation of edge marking, which you can see demonstrated in one of the screenshots above.
There's also a bunch of little fixes and optimizations, as usual.

melonDS 0.8 July 1st 2019, by Arisotura

  • ...We just pushed a hotfix release. This should fix broken 3D rendering with OpenGL, namely for AMD/Intel GPU users.

melonDS 0.8 May 31st 2019, by Arisotura

It's been awaited for so long, and finally, by popular request, here it is: melonDS 0.8, with OpenGL renderer and upscaling!

The OpenGL renderer

This renderer is an attempt at targeting a sweet spot of, say, 90% compatibility while being fast. If you have read the previous posts about the DS GPU and how quirky that thing is compared to your average GPU, you guess that perfect rendering with OpenGL isn't going to be possible, but we can do our best. The current renderer supports most of the DS GPU features, but not all of them. There is room for improvement, but certain features will just not be implemented.

The OpenGL renderer is enabled by default, but you can go to the video settings dialog to configure it. Namely, this renderer supports increasing the internal resolution to up to 8x the native resolution. Note that changing the internal resolution does not change the window size, you will need to take care of that. However, changes from the video settings dialog apply instantly, so you can compare the various settings and select the one you like best.

Take note that the 0.8 release is a bit of an experiment. Basically, we tested it before release to ensure the OpenGL renderer will work, but we can't cover every setup that exists, so it is likely that there will be issues arising either from crummy programming on our part, or from crummy OpenGL drivers. So, if you have any issue with this, let us know!

  • fix CP15 init during direct boot
  • do not apply delays to cart transfers when the WR bit is set
  • misc fixes
  • OpenGL renderer and upscaling

→ [NDS] melonDS x64 0.7.4

melonDS 0.7.4 Mar 26

  • fix potential spurious sounds when starting melonDS
  • fix crash when using microphone with a WAV that has multiple channels
  • small optimizations and tweaks
  • wifi: add wifi settings dialog, with libpcap adapter list
  • wifi: first version of indirect (non-libpcap) mode
  • move most of the config settings to a platform-specific array (really just making it easier to port melonDS)

Authors comments @Project:

This release is hardly going to be revolutionary though, but I had to get it out before starting work on the hardware renderer.
The highlight of this release is the upgrade to the online wifi feature. Two main points there:

  1. Under direct mode, you can finally choose which network adapter will be used by libpcap. The wifi settings dialog also shows their MAC and IP as to help you ensure you're picking the right adapter.
  2. Indirect mode, which, as mentioned before, works without libpcap and on any connection. However, it's in alpha stages and it's a gross hack in general, so you can feel free to try it out, but don't expect miracles.

As usual, direct mode requires libpcap and an ethernet connection, and that you run melonDS with admin/superuser privileges.
Other than that, there are a few little fixes to the SDL audio code. melonDS now only emits sound when running something, so it shouldn't emit obnoxious noises when starting anymore. Also, it no longer crashes if you use WAV microphone input with a file that has multiple channels.

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence (2006, Capcom)

melonDS 0.7.3

  • fix STRD_POST (fixes Just Sing - Vol 2 music)
  • add support for POWCNT1 (fixes Imagine - Teacher)
  • 2D: fix fade effects to semitransp sprites and 3D layer (fixes Devil Survivor)
  • 3D: truncate W to 24 bits before viewport transform. do not render polygons with any W=0.
  • attempt at fixing hiDPI under Windows
  • fix input config dialog crashes under Linux
  • add support for hotplugging joysticks
  • make 'savefile relocation when using savestates' disabled by default
  • remember whether main window is maximized
  • add menu for setting main window to an integer size
  • init save memory to 0xFF instead of 0x00
  • romlist.bin: index games by serial rather than CRC. updated romlist.
  • add support for 128K EEPROM (Pokémon Mystery Dungeon - Explorers of Sky)
  • make nocashprint also work in ARM mode
  • GX: always latch rendering engine registers, even when not flushing
  • GX: fix polygon timings when polygon is rejected by culling/clipping
  • rewrite main emu loop to use absolute timestamps

Authors comments @Project:

Something that should have been done long ago, and has finally been done: the emulator's main loop was rewritten to use absolute timestamps to keep track of cycle counts. Overall, it's more reliable (far less chances of desyncs), more accurate, and also a bit faster, and the code is cleaner. So we win on all fronts. This should fix the recent flickering issues, like that of Colour Cross.
The downside is that this breaks savestate compatibility with older melonDS versions.
In the same vein, there's another fix to GX timings. We knew that vertex timings were different when a vertex completed a polygon, but we just found out that timings also differ based on whether the polygon passes culling and clipping. This will help with games that need their display lists to be running fast enough.
To hopefully fix the saving issues, we built a new database, resulting of a mix between the Advanscene XML and savelist.bin from the R4 Wood firmware. For better detection, the new romlist.bin indexes games by their serial code rather than by the ROM's CRC32, which also means that it will work with hacked ROMs. This means you will need to make sure to replace romlist.bin with the newer one if you're extracting this melonDS release over an older one.
There's also a particular fix for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon - Explorers of Sky, which uses 128K EEPROM. It should now save properly.
However, note that the correct savefile size for this game is 128KB. If you have a savefile which is 256KB, the game will read it fine but fail to save to it (because that size is detected as FLASH memory and not EEPROM). You can fix this by opening your savefile in a hex editor and deleting the upper half of it. This is especially important if you use a savefile coming from DeSmuME as it will create a 256KB file.
We also have a neat little pile of UI improvements.
melonDS now supports hotplugging joysticks. That being said, it still defaults to the first joystick available on your system. I'm not quite sure how to go about handling multiple joysticks.
The main window is smarter about remembering its size: it also remembers whether it was maximized.
There's a tentative fix for hiDPI under Windows, which should atleast make the screens scale correctly.
There's a new menu for setting the window size to an integer scaling factor (1x to 4x).
The setting for savefile relocation when using savestates is now disabled by default. While the feature may be useful, having it enabled by default was confusing for unaware users.

And finally, the misc fixes:

  • fix STRD_POST (fixes music in Just Sing - Vol 2)
  • 2D: fix blending bugs
  • add support for 8bit reads to DISPCNT/BGxCNT (fixes The Wild West)
  • make nocashprint also work in ARM mode

Are You Over-Optimized?
By: Dana Severson

If you do anything with SEO or search marketing, you’ve no doubt heard rumblings of another change in Google’s algorithm. The shift is said to reward sites with high-quality content, while penalizing those overstuffed with keywords and questionable links.
Barring any glitches, it’s a good move, allowing all the cream to rise to the top — at least when it comes to page rank.
But some honest, ethical businesses could still take a hit or two in their rankings. This is especially true if you’re practicing those old techniques used to dupe search engines. Even with useful content, you could find yourself falling off the first page when you over-optimize.
Rand Fishkin, CEO over at SEOmoz, made a few suggestions to ensure your site isn’t seen as one of the perps.
Review your site titles. And we’re not just talking home pages. Each page needs an authentic title that isn’t stuffed with keywords. If you mention the same word or phrase three to four times, it looks like it’s been written to rank. Cut it way back.
Review your site pages. Lots of pages targeting very similar keywords can dole out some damage. Even when you’ve modified keywords or phrase, the slight variation won’t trick search engines. If the info can exist on one page, do just that.
Review your internal links. Too many internal links with the same anchor text on the same page is SEO manipulative. Not only can this hurt your rank, but it also looks awfully “sales-y.” And no one needs to tell you what that can do to conversion.
Review your footers links. Like internal page links, your footers should only have useful links with logical anchor text. If you’re practicing this optimization technique, it’s just plain lazy SEO doing damage to your numbers.
Review your backlinks. This one’s a bit tricky, especially with all the link networks and reciprocal linking sites. Don’t blush; lots of people have done it. From now on, make sure any link is logical or adds value. Otherwise it can damage your standing.
Review your text content blocks. Not everyone uses this optimization technique, so it may not apply to your site. But if you have a content block listing a bunch of key words, get rid of it. It doesn’t trick search engines. It’s lazy SEO…again.

Making these changes should help you dodge a bullet. If you’ve already been hit, it’s still wise to adjust your site accordingly. Finding yourself on the tenth page of Google doesn’t do much for business.

Traditional rose hip tea

2 cups water
1 tbsp whole rose hips (rose fruit)

The best rose hip tea is the one you make on your own. First, you need to collect the hips. Take the needle or a pin and make small punctures on the surface of the fruit. This will help it release more nutrients during the boiling process. If you intend to use it fresh, your hips are ready to go. However, if you would like to store them for the rest of the year, you need to dry them by placing them in a warm and shady place for about a week or so or simply putting them in the food dehydrator, if you have one, for several hours. Heat water. Add rose hips to the teapot after the water has boiled. Bring to the lowest heat and keep boiling for 15 minutes. Remove from the stove and let it steep for 5 minutes. Strain the tea, pour it into cups and serve with honey. Smaller hips are more suitable for this method as they are easy to dry, unlike the larger ones that tend to get mouldy if dried whole.

Hat trick of award wins for Low Incomes Tax Reform Group

14 May 2020

The football season may be suspended but the Low Incomes Tax Reform Group (LITRG) scored its own hat trick at the Tolley’s Taxation Awards 2020.

Technical Officer Meredith McCammond won the Rising Star award, former Technical Director (and current volunteer) Robin Williamson won the Lifetime Achievement prize and the LITRG Team as a whole won the Best Specialist Team in a Public or Not for Profit Organisation award.

The Tolley’s Taxation Awards made their debut in 2001. They are recognised as marks of excellence within the tax sector. Tolley’s announced the 2020 winners in an online video today (Thursday 14 May). This replaced the usual black-tie awards ceremony because of continuing Covid-19 restrictions. It means the winners will get the hard-won trophies delivered to them.

After the online ceremony, Glyn Fullelove, CIOT President, said: "I would like to congratulate Robin both on my own behalf and that of the Institute on his Lifetime Achievement Award at today’s Tolley’s Tax Awards. It is thoroughly deserved, and a true mark of the respect in which he is held throughout the tax profession. It is very fitting that he received it at the same ceremony at which the CIOT’s Low Incomes Tax Reform Group, with which his name will always be linked, received two other awards. These were the Rising Star award for Meredith McCammond and a technical excellence award for the LITRG team; my congratulations also go to both Meredith and LITRG on these achievements."

LITRG won the Best Specialist Team in a Public or Not for Profit Organisation. Tolley’s said LITRG is doing ‘high quality work that really resonates with the wider tax community’. Tolley’s went on to say LITRG has given ‘huge support to the most vulnerable in society’.

The award recognises LITRG’s unique work in the past 12 months. People on low incomes need their taxes as simple as possible. LITRG’s aim is to persuade politicians and HMRC to make the tax system easier and fairer for all while making tax and tax credit information available to those who are unable to afford professional advice.

LITRG Technical Officer Meredith McCammond won the Rising Star category. Tolley talked about her ‘fantastic work in explaining the impact of the Loan Charge on vulnerable members of society, as well as playing a key role in the wider tax community’. Meredith’s particular areas of interest include employment matters, such as the national minimum wage, agency workers/employment intermediaries, gig economy/false self-employment, and issues relating to disability and carers.

After the event, Meredith said: “I'm proud and happy to have won the award. Having worked abroad in various guises, I know what it is like to feel completely lost and confused when it comes to trying to navigate new working practices and ‘alien’ tax systems. I care passionately about my work especially around the labour market, and I am grateful to use my tax skills and knowledge in this way.”

To complete the hat trick for LITRG, former Technical Director of LITRG Robin Williamson MBE (a Fellow of the CIOT) won a Lifetime Achievement Award.

When announcing the award, Andrew Hubbard, Editor in Chief at Taxation magazine and chair of the judging panel, said the Lifetime Achievement Award is a way of honouring individuals who have made a huge contribution to our profession over a long period. Andrew said he has known Robin for many years and is always impressed by his enormous knowledge of his specialist subject and his passion and commitment to serving the wider public interest. “Most remarkable of all, given the sheer range of his achievements, is his extraordinary personal modesty”, he said.

Robin spent 15 years at the helm of LITRG.

Accepting the award in a pre-recorded video, Robin said few accolades are as satisfying as the kind we receive from our own colleagues and it gives him more pleasure than he can say to accept the award. The last 40 years in law and tax have been a ‘fascinating’ time, he said. He has been very lucky in working and meeting many good people in the profession and the Government. Robin hopes his work has developed tax law and policy in a way that benefits individual taxpayers. He takes particular joy at witnessing the tax charities grow from small beginnings to an ‘influential force for good’. Robin is also a former Senior Policy Adviser, Office of Tax Simplification.

Safer driving this summer

Minnesota’s traffic safety laws are changing for the better over the next month, with stiffer seat belt and child-restraint requirements that will avert many needless deaths and life-altering injuries.

And there’s a new wrinkle that could save lives even while appealing to the “get-government-off-my-back” crowd: Soon it will be legal to exceed Minnesota speed limits by up to 10 m.p.h. while passing on a two-lane road posted at 55 m.p.h. or more.

This seemingly sensible adjustment has the potential to reduce head-on collisions in the passing lane, although the extra speed could be a safety hazard, too. Either way, it was the price owed Minnesota’s strong libertarian strain for, after more than 20 years of debate, letting police enforce our mandatory seat belt law. The two measures were combined in a single bill signed by Gov. Tim Pawlenty on May 21.

Both kick in on June 9. While the effects of faster passing may be unclear, it’s virtually certain that traffic deaths and serious injuries will decline significantly as more Minnesotans buckle up. Although only 13 percent of Minnesota drivers weren’t belted in during the latest roadside survey, the unbelted consistently have accounted for more than half of the state’s annual toll of 500 crash deaths and 1,500 serious injuries.

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety estimates that the new law will save up to 30 lives a year while preventing 400 injuries, with a first-year savings of $11 million in hospital charges.

Critics of effective seat belt enforcement frequently invoked drivers’ personal freedom to guard their own well-being as they chose. But that argument looked flimsy given that drivers use public thoroughfares paid for and regulated by the public, a public that too often gets stuck with the unbelteds’ accident costs through higher taxes or health insurance premiums.

The libertarian stance got even more wobbly in the long-running stalemate over car booster seats. They are designed to work with seat belts for kids 4 through 7 years old, who typically risk more serious crash injuries while wearing belts that don’t fit than if they had no restraint at all.

While legislators debated and blocked mandatory age-appropriate restraints, 48 Minnesota children under the age of 10 died in crashes from 2003 through 2007, more than two-thirds of them not properly restrained. Meanwhile, a multiyear national study of 35,000 properly restrained children involved in traffic accidents found that 86 percent escaped injury and another 13 percent suffered only minor harm. That left just one in 100 whom appropriate restraints couldn’t keep safe.

Until the new law takes effect July 1, allegedly nanny-state Minnesota remains tied with Alaska and Florida for the nation’s loosest child-restraint rules – applying only to kids 3 and younger. Come July, Minnesota law will cover children under the age of 8 and shorter than 4 feet, 9 inches tall.

This standard, recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, is fast becoming the national norm. Twenty states, mainly in the East and Midwest, have it on the books. Most of the rest cover children under 6 or 7. Oddly, Tennessee and Wyoming, states not known for aggressive safety rules, require special restraints for kids up to the age of 9.

Properly securing children in cars is a complicated business. Three different devices are needed as kids grow up: rear-facing infant seats for babies up to 1 year old and 20 pounds, forward-facing harness seats for toddlers and preschoolers, then boosters that lift young school-agers into position for a good seat belt fit.

So it’s no surprise that national surveys have found that 70 percent of children between 4 and 8 aren’t properly restrained in cars. Some aren’t belted at all; others are, but with the wrong equipment for their size or the right device incorrectly deployed.

This is where public education comes in. The state Department of Public Safety has two excellent brochures available online, an extensive 32-pager (PDF) and a simpler two-page guide (PDF).

With the changes in the law, state officials should make sure these resources are updated and disseminated as widely as possible.

Child safety on the road doesn’t necessarily come cheap. The American Academy of Pediatrics 2009 car seat guide lists prices as high as $900 for an infant seat, although a more common range is $100 to $200, and you can get a backless booster at Cosco for as little as $20.

Fortunately, the law Pawlenty signed May 15 allows courts to waive the $50 fine if the ticketed driver obtains a federally approved child seat within 14 days of the citation. It also allows police to give violators “information on obtaining a free or low-cost passenger restraint system.” State officials say they are available at many public health centers and police and fire stations, and that details will be listed soon on the Public Safety web site.

Whatever the cost, parents will have determine what their children’s safety on the road is worth. The State of Minnesota has finally taken a responsible stand to address the No. 1 cause of death for children – traffic crashes. Parents should, too.

Man Utd boss Solskjaer bites back at claims from Scholes, Hargreaves with prickly riposte

Date published: Thursday 29th April 2021 10:42 - Steve Pearson

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Man Utd v Roma

Man Utd manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer strongly refuted claims made by former club stars Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves at half-time of the Europa League clash with Roma.

Man Utd produced a blistering second-half display, notching five unanswered goals to take complete command of their semi-final tie with Roma. The Red Devils trailed at the break, but the hosts showed real pedigree to blow their opponents away in emphatic fashion.

Give our social media channels a follow – we’re on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram

Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani both bagged braces in the contest to put one Man Utd foot already in the final before the second leg has been played.

Speaking to BT Sport after the match, Solskjaer said: “No I don’t feel the job is done but it was a good job done. We did well but we know they have quality.

“They scored two goals from the two chances we gave them. They didn’t have loads of chances against Ajax. The second half was very good.”

On being told BT Sport pundits Owen Hargreaves and Paul Scholes would have made midfield changes at half-time, the Norwegian added: “It’s easy up there thinking who should play… but who should not play?

MATCH REPORT: Cavani, Fernandes score two each as Man Utd crush Roma to take big step towards Europa League final

“That’s a very good team, it worked really good against Tottenham. Mason Greenwood should be disappointed not to be playing but it’s about balance. Maybe those two should try to leave players out and pick a team with balance.

“We know we have got creative players who can create big moments. Paul Pogba’s position today was very good in that position, he’s allowed some freedom. He’s got the foundation behind him. The difference today is we took most of our chances.

“The character showed that they came back and didn’t lose their heads. Maybe five or 10 minutes at the end of the first half, we didn’t look great but we got ourselves together. The two goals are junior, schoolboy errors that shouldn’t happen at this level.”

Pogba admits to defensive failings

Man Utd goalscorer, Paul Pogba, also spoke to the press, telling BT Sport: “The result is positive but it’s not finished. We will have to say focused and play a nice game with the same mentality.

“In the first half we had two mistakes and conceded two goals. We were a bit all over the place after the second goal.

“At half-time we said let’s do the right things, let’s do simple things. The manager spoke. We were all motivated to score as many goals as possible.”

Regarding the penalty decision that went against him, the Frenchman added: “Just don’t tackle. I don’t know how to tackle. I try to be the English guy. I need to practise more. I need to practise to tackle without arms. It’s unlucky. I’ve been unlucky a lot this season with penalties.”

Three New Species Discovered On Space Station

A new species never seen before by science was discovered on the space station through advanced genetic testing.

Three new lifeforms have been discovered in different locations on the International Space Station (ISS), potentially offering researchers a new way to grow food in space.

American and Indian scientists have examined four bacterial strains from the station and found that the three belonged to a species previously unknown to science.

The rod-shaped bacteria were found roughly five years ago in different locations on the station: one on the surface of a dining table, one on an overhead panel at a research station, and another in the Cupola observatory dome.

As the bacteria are proven to be able to survive the conditions of the ISS, they could contribute to humans growing food in space, according to the researchers.

University of Southern California geneticist Dr Swati Bijlani, who led the research, proposed naming the new species Methylobacterium Ajmalii in honour of Ajmal Khan, an Indian biodiversity scientist.

The discovery was published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology and NASA believes the species offer enormous potential for growing food on missions to Mars.

The species is involved in a number of essential agricultural processes, including nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilisation, abiotic stress tolerance, plant growth promotion, and biocontrol activity against plant pathogens.

NASA’s Dr Kasthuri Venkateswaran and Dr Nitin Kumar Singh said that the strains might possess “biotechnologically useful genetic determinants” for the growing of crops in space.

However, they cautioned that further experimental biology would be required to prove that the new species of bacteria is as much of a space farming game-changer as they suspect.

“To grow plants in extreme places where resources are minimal, isolation of novel microbes that help to promote plant growth under stressful conditions is essential,” they said.

“Since our group possess expertise in cultivating microorganisms from extreme niches, we have been tasked by the NASA Space Biology Program to survey the ISS for the presence and persistence of the microorganisms.

“Needless to say, the ISS is a cleanly-maintained extreme environment. Crew safety is the number one priority and hence understanding human/plant pathogens are important, but beneficial microbes like this novel Methylobacterium ajmalii are also needed.”

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Sometimes you need to make life-altering decisions and make things work the way you want them to work. Many people around the globe suffer through a lot of mental issues and do not want to change their way of living, which can further cause problems.

What we mean is, that living a monotonous life is not what we are aspiring to do, it should never be our goal. We have minimal years in this world, and to make the most out of them, we need to change a few things around us, to feel better about ourselves, our lives and overall improve the quality of life.

 Change starts at home

Where you live can have a massive impact on your lifestyle. It could be location, so you can just hire a moving company such as Bekins Moving Solutions and just make a run and start someone afresh. If that doesn’t suit you, you can just some beautiful Sunpan and make some decorative changes around the house. This would make you feel a physical change around you, and would likely motivate you to do bigger and better things.

It costs nothing. Look into organisations near you that are looking for people to volunteer. It just feels way too pure to help out those in need and to do things for those who don’t have the same privilege as ourselves. It gives you a sense of purity and unbelievable joy. If you enjoy doing it, you will keep going back here often.

The joy of learning

Always try to make time to learn new things everyday. Face new experiences, try out some adventure that you had been planning for the longest and try to think about what you can take out of it. Pick up a hobby, take classes. Dance, paint, beat box! It doesn’t matter what it is, all that matters is that you are learning something that brings life into you.

Start saving up

If you have any big goals, like wanting to buy your dream car, start saving and start saving big. When you spend less and save more you’d learn to control a lot of your impulses and other behaviours. It helps you think and also makes you a decision maker. Because when you are thinking of saving, you are thinking about whether or not what you are spending your money on is important or not. When you do this, you can also make other major decisions in life in the same manner.

Declutter your life from all the extra stuff. You need to know the difference between your needs and wants. Take out all the stuff that you don’t need and just give them away. Also do this with your thinking, just declutter the negative emotions and feelings and live a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Want to turn your hobby into a career? Covid-16 hit everyone hard, and one of the distress it caused was financial distress. One way to combat this problem is to start a business from home. If you love cooking, baking, or any other form of creating delicious food, it is ideal for you to start a food business from your home’s safety.

You can start a business and have fun with it too. However, a company is a business, and you would need some tips to run a business like a real pro.

Know the rules

Every state and country has different rules when it comes to doing business from home. While some are easy with their laws, others are not that much. If you need a license or a permit, it is essential that you get that first and then go on to the next step.

Research the  market

You could have the best food in town, but no one would like to have it. So, to know whether or not people would be interested in the pasta you want to sell, do a bit of market research to see if there is a demand for it or not. There are several ways of doing research, and surveys are one of them. You may join groups on your social media and create a survey form for them to fill, Ask them to answer honestly and accurately to know the best results.

Look for the cheapest and most effective ways of marketing. One of the best ways to make people aware of your food is with SEO Mississauga that helps the people in your area know more about you. And if you plan to move to another city, you can always use moving company las vegas to move and then change your advertising methods to have the right target area.

Have the right equipment

When you are making food, then it is ideal to have the right equipment. The reason is that you want your recipes always to be consistent in taste. If you are giving your food in KGs, you should also have calibration weights for more accuracy.

Write it down

Whether it is your recipe, your advertisement plans, or in general, your business plans, they all need to be written down somewhere so that you would not forget anything. Everything looks easy, but as the business starts to grow, things can become mind-numbing, and you may forget the necessary details. So just start with your pen and paper, and start making notes.

A food business sure is a fun venture to carry. You can be a boss lady, stand in your kitchen in pajamas while keeping an eye on the kids in the next room, and still make significant income come in the house to keep the feet warm, the bills paid, and the tummies filled.

We wish you the best of luck with your new journey.

ECB to hold rates at least through June 2020

Policymakers from the European Central Bank left the three leading interest rates unchanged on Thursday in a regular meeting in Vilnius. They went further to promise to keep them at record lows at least until the end of the first half of next year and "as long as necessary" to bring inflation back up to just under 2%. The previous forward guidance was for no move until the end of 2019.

Another dovish move came in an update about the upcoming TLTRO 3 program. The quarterly targeted longer-term refinancing operations will be provided at ten basis points above the average main refinancing rate over the life of the respective transaction, according to the statement. Counterparties surpassing a benchmark will be charged less, they said and revealed the rate can go as low as the "average interest on the deposit facility prevailing over the life of the operation plus 10 basis points."

ECB added it would continue to invest fully the proceeds from the quantitative easing scheme "for an extended time" after an eventual increase in borrowing costs and "as long as necessary to maintain favorable liquidity conditions and an ample degree of monetary accommodation." The euro strengthened slightly upon the release.

Project Content

Even digitalization has been a hot topic in the recent years, many of the Finnish and Lappish companies still struggle to take full advantage of the possibilities it offers. There are still plenty of room for improvement when it comes to digital sales, marketing, new types of business models and finding skilled workforce.

Hehku project was developed to offer solutions to these challenges. It shares knowledge, tips and lectures that are carried out in all regions of Lapland to help develop the digital business skills of our local workforce.

To broaden the bottlenecks in our digital knowledge, the project has defined these four themes:

  • Digi Startup
  • Digital marketing and sales
  • Global digital resources
  • Data and customer relationships

There are eight different events aimed to train and develop Lappish workforce’s digital business skills. Four of them are organized in the smaller regions of Lapland and four main events are held at Rovaniemi. The regional events consist of lectures and workshops, employing remote consultants and TEQU project personnel. The events organized in Rovaniemi will each have four keynote speakers, sharing their knowledge and inspiring the participants on site.

Objective of the project

The project will create targeted expertise in digital business skills for the benefit of the Lapland workforce to create new companies, acquire digital skills from global resource pools, create more digital sales and a sustainable competitive advantage through customer data management. Project boosts the growth of Lapland’s and Finland’s competitive advantage and promotes sustainable growth and job creation.

Project implementation

Project started as early as spring 2020 with the “Covid19-Package”, which provided six webinars on e-sales and business related to companies, as well as one network workshop to develop e-sales for SMEs in the region.

You can find the full online sales education in the form of recordings on TEQU’s YouTube -channel.

Education events will continue in spring 2021.

The total budget of the project is 309 642 €, of which North Ostrobothnia Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment has admitted European Social Fund (ESF) and government funding 247 714 €.

The project will be implemented between 09.04.2020 and 31.01.2023.

Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., known throughout the Air Force by his preferred “C.Q.,” has been the commander of the Pacific Air Forces, air component commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and executive director of the Pacific Air Combat Operations Staff at Joint Base Pearl Harbor.

And since August, this distinguished graduate of Texas Tech University’s Air Force ROTC program has been the new Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force.

The U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed Brown on June 9 in a historic move, making him the first black chief of a military service branch. Brown also is the first black officer to sit on the Joint Chiefs of Staff since Army Gen. Colin Powell served as chairman from 1989 to 1993.

In his new role, Brown sits as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and represents the Air Force to the public, Congress and industry partners as well as allies. The Air Force Chief of Staff is responsible for devising and articulating Air Force priorities, shaping the service’s culture, budget and priorities as well as organizing, training and equipping the Air Force’s 685,000 active-duty, Guard, Reserve and civilian personnel.

He plays a central role in fully integrating and connecting warfighting operations that allow information to be collected, analyzed and shared across all domains – air, sea, land, cyber and space – and among all services. As Chief of Staff, Brown also is a principal ally and partner in supporting the newly created Space Force.

Brown was commissioned in 1984 as a distinguished graduate of the ROTC program at Texas Tech, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. He was named a distinguished alumnus of the university in 2012.

He has served in a variety of positions at the squadron and wing levels, including an assignment to the U.S. Air Force Weapons School as an F-16 Fighting Falcon Instructor. He previously served as aide-de-camp to the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, director of the Secretary of the Air Force and Chief of Staff Executive Action Group and deputy director of the Operations Directorate within the U.S. Central Command. He also served as a National Defense Fellow at the Institute for Defense Analyses.

Brown has commanded a fighter squadron, the U.S. Air Force Weapons School, two fighter wings and U.S. Air Forces Central Command. Prior to his current assignment, he served as the Deputy Commander, U.S. Central Command. Brown is a command pilot with more than 2,900 flying hours, including 130 combat hours.

“I’ll tell you, I was just going to be an engineer,” Brown said in an interview with Texas Tech in 2019. “I was just going to do four years in the Air Force, and then get out. But when I went to summer camp for ROTC and rode in an airplane, I decided I wanted to become a pilot. Based on that opportunity and experience from ROTC at Texas Tech, and being the cadet corps commander the first semester of my senior year, all of that coming together helped shape the opportunity for me to get to go fly fighters.”

Brown has been awarded the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit and the Bronze Star. His 35-year career has been guided by his four tenants:

  • Execute at a high standard
  • Be disciplined in execution
  • Pay attention to details
  • “Have fun.”

“There’s plenty of opportunity, I think, for young people who join the Air Force,” Brown said. “When I got commissioned, I was 22, and you get a lot of responsibility, you get to do some things. I get to see things and do things most people only read about.

“I read my own bio and I pinch myself at all the opportunities I’ve had: the airplanes I’ve gotten to fly, the people I’ve had a chance to meet, the countries I’ve had a chance to visit. I’ve had great experiences and the same thing for my family. And when the people you get to meet have some of the same drive and passion about what they do, that to me is just as exciting.”

Brown and his wife, Sharene, have two sons, Sean and Ross.

Age Discrimination Is Common, Retaliation Fears Hinder Reporting

Age Discrimination Is Common, Retaliation Fears Hinder Reporting

| Aug 28, 2019 | Workplace Discrimination |

According to a recent survey by the insurer Hiscox USA, 21% of American workers over 40 say they have suffered from age discrimination in the workplace. The age at which they are most likely to experience discrimination is 51, and men may suffer it slightly more than women.

This is a problem for both employers and employees. As a spokesperson for Hiscox points out, Americans are working longer and retiring later. “Discrimination of any kind brings serious reputational and financial risks to any business and can negatively impact a worker’s career trajectory,” he added.

The 2019 Hiscox Ageism in the Workplace Study surveyed 400 full-time workers in the U.S. who were 40 and over. The federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act prohibits discrimination of any kind against employees who are 40 and older.

According to the survey, although 21% of workers — more than one in five — reported facing age discrimination at work, only about 40% of them had filed a complaint. Among those who did not file complaints, 54% did not do so because they feared retaliation. Another 24% did not file complaints because they didn’t know how.

The survey also found that 51% of workers who observed age bias against another employee did not report it. Of those, 62% said they held back out of fear of employer retaliation.

Interestingly, the survey found men to be more likely to report that age discrimination had impacted their careers. For example, 43% of men said they thought being 40 or over had been a barrier to new employment, while only 30% of women reported the same. And, slightly under 40% of men thought that age discrimination had frustrated their career advancement, compared to only 24% of women.

A few other takeaways from the survey:

  • 80% of those who reported experiencing age discrimination said it impacted their career trajectories.
  • Around 43% of the respondents said they had left an employer after experiencing or witnessing age discrimination.
  • Of respondents 65 and younger, approximately 67% said they plan to work beyond age 66.
  • 62% of the respondents said they had received no age discrimination training in the previous year.

Is there an ageism problem at your company?

If you think you are experiencing age discrimination, you should act quickly to address the problem. Your career may be on the line.

Unsure about how to file a complaint? Worried about retaliation? Your first step is to discuss your situation with an experienced employment law attorney. A lawyer can evaluate your claim and work with you through your company’s internal complaint process and file any appropriate charges with the EEOC or a state human rights agency.

WAYNE COUNTY SPEEDWAY | Caskey, Wilson, Moore, Hensel, Innes capture victories

Special to The Daily Record

ORRVILLE — Another full night of racing is in the books for the Wayne County Speedway.

Orrville's Mitch Caskey continued his hot streak by leading all the way in the Malcuit Tavern Super Late Models for his first win at WCS. Caskey beat Ryan Markham into turn one on the start, but had to do it twice due to the only caution of the race coming out before the first lap was completed. Larry Bellman tagged the guardrail in turn four. Caskey repeated his performance on the restart and quickly pulled away. Markham and JR Gentry dueled for second, with Markham holding off several attempts by Gentry. Having more than a straightaway lead, Caskey encountered some slower cars with five laps to go and was content to not get around them. That allowed Markham and Gentry to close the gap, but they could not get close enough to challenge Caskey, who had won at Midway Speedway the week before and had finished second at WCS two weeks ago. Corey Conley finished fourth and Justin Chance took fifth. Starting 15th because of a flat tire in his heat race, Cody Scott powered his way to sixth to claim the Accu-Force Shocks Hard Charger Award. Chance and Markham posted heat wins.

It was a long, tough night for the McKenzie Concrete Super Stocks, as several cautions kept the racing action slowed up. The caution that took out several contenders came on lap eight when Matt Shroyer went for the lead but went sideways coming out of turn two and collected Chase Alexander and Bob Daugherty, ending their race. The race started with Brandon Craver setting the pace for the first three laps before giving way to Daugherty, but then the red flag waved on lap five when Craver's car began leaking gas. A caution for a couple of spun cars on lap eight set up the big wreck on the restart. Don Rutt and Tyler Wiles battled the next two laps for the lead as Wiles bounced off the guardrail in turn two to give the lead to Rutt. But Coshocton's John Wilson, who barely missed the lap eight wreck, stole the top spot away as the white flag waved. He then went around one more time to grab his second win of the season. Rutt ended up second followed by Wiles, Brad Hensel and Luke Sprouse. Heat winners were Daugherty, Wiles and Wilson.

Mansfield's Kyle Moore was unstoppable in the Modified action. He was the fast qualifier that earned him $200 and won his heat. He followed this up with his second feature win of the season at Orrville's Historic Oval. Moore started fourth and grabbed the lead coming out of turn two and never looked back. DJ Cline ran second. On the two cautions restarts, Cline was the closest he could get to Moore. It was a tight race for third place as Chris Basich, Carl McKinney, Mark Gardiner and Colton Shaw competed. Basich, the other heat winner, spun out at the halfway mark and battled his way back to finish fifth. Shaw and Gardiner were tightly competing, but Gardnier eventually got the lead back. Over the last six laps, he went back and forth with McKinney for third, but McKinney won third place at the finish line.

Jordan James set the pace for the opening two circuits of the JoyRide Transport Mini Stock feature. But fifth-starting Doug Hensel motored his way to the front and took the lead coming out of turn four on the third lap, maintaining it the rest of the way to park in victory lane for the third time this year. James fended off challenges by Cory Staley to finish second, as Brad Hensel started 20th and worked his way to grab fourth. Chaz Dawson finished a season-best fifth. Dawson, Staley and Doug Hensel bested the heat races as Ryan Carder topped the last chance win.

Newton Fall's David Innes started on the pole of Mod Lite feature. After a couple of early challenges from heat winner Cody Stillion, Innes pulled away for his first win at WCS. Innes was followed by Stillion with Joe Burkhead outdueling Shaw for third. Jon Preston rounded out the top five.

Racing will continue next Saturday night with the Pine Tree Towing & Recovery Sprints returning to action along with the Malcuit Tavern Super Late Models, the McKenzie Concrete Super Stocks, the JoyRide Transport Mini Stocks and the Modifieds.
