EU Commission to Reject Hollande’s Budget

Hollande is in deep trouble. His socialistic policies are destroying France. The European Commission in reviewing the budgets of the French Government find that they violate EU rules and no run the risk that they will be rejected by the EU. The Commission will ask the government in Paris in late October to submit a new budget plan for 2015. The EU Commission just may for the first time request changes to a draft national budget according to the surrender of France’s sovereignty to Brussels.

According to the plans of the French government debt will be 4.4% in 2015 and 4.3% of gross domestic product (GDP) this year. Also in 2016 the minus 3.8% are still be well above the EU ceiling of 3%.

TomTom guides the way

TomTom guides the way

It's not often that a lower priced model can match or even exceed the features of its more expensive brethren - but this is just what the TomTom One achieves. We've reviewed - and loved - the Go 300 and Go 500. We found them easy to use, packed with useful features and, most importantly, they got us exactly where we wanted to go. The TomTom One retains many of these features but also includes some key improvements.

The first notable change is in the physical design. While the Go units were somewhat squat and bulky, TomTom has slimmed down the One considerably, resulting in a device that is more like a PDA in its form factor. Although it can be cupped in the hand or slipped into a pocket, it's not yet at the stage of being portable enough where you would want to carry it around in a pocket all day. Still, the slimline design seemed to appeal to just about everyone who had their hands on it.

The second change is internal, as TomTom has shipped the One with an improved GPS receiver, meaning less occasions when you have to use an external antenna to pick up a signal. In our driving tests, we found the One took 30-90 seconds to first pick up a signal after being turned on. It was generally quite quick and responsive.

It is important to realise the One is priced considerably lower than the Go 500 or Go 300, and is aimed at the entry-level market. In order to adopt this price point however, some sacrifices have been made - and the most important is perhaps battery life. The battery in the One lasted for just under two hours in our testing, which does limit its use outside of a car and is below average.

While TomTom has included an in-car charger in the sales package, an AC adapter is missing (although one can be purchased separately). This means you can use the unit for a maximum of two hours outside a car before having to go back to charge it, similar to the Navman iCN 320.

Great value for money

Despite the lower battery life and lack of an AC adapter, we still think consumers will certainly be getting great value for money by purchasing the One.

In our humble opinion, TomTom excels when it comes to usability and the One continues this trend. There are no buttons on the device apart from the Power button. Everything else is operated on the touchscreen, with the buttons and icons large enough for you to use a finger comfortably. If you haven't used a GPS before, the TomTom interface won't pose many problems at all.

Despite the simplicity this unit offers, we would still have liked to seen an external volume control, as users will continually need to quickly change the volume, depending on the loudness of traffic noise, the radio or conversations. We found the audio levels a little softer on this unit and had to set volume levels to 60-70 per cent in order to hear it clearly. Having to navigate through several system menus to access the volume slider is a hassle we can do without.

One feature that just about everybody commented on was the screen. We found it to be excellent in both day and night conditions, though it is prone to glare in direct sunlight. With the large, bright and clear 3.5-inch screen, the moving 3D navigation and our planned clearly mapped out in green, we felt very comfortable at all times with the visual features of this unit.

The audio instructions on the One were also fine, although there is one feature of the software we wish TomTom would change. We noticed that we would get a warning of a turn when we were some distance away and another warning at the actual turn itself. We would have however, preferred an alert a few metres before the turn, giving us an earlier warning. At times, we were unsure when to turn and had to look at the screen, not something drivers want to be doing often.

We are big fans of the TomTom user interface, although you can get the feeling of being lost in menus at times. When we test a GPS unit, we like to focus on the method used to search for addresses, as this is something you will be doing often. Unfortunately, TomTom has retained the same confusing searching function that doesn't filter street names by suburb, sometimes resulting in incorrect addresses. Additionally, the software doesn't allow you to search for a street name first, only a suburb, which is an unwanted limitation.

Perhaps the one omission that really detracts from this unit is the lack of out of the box support for red-light and speed cameras, something the Road Angel Navigator provides, but at a much higher price.

What's Hot: Compact size, easy to use, high screen quality
What's Not: Low battery life, no AC adapter provided
The Final Word: At this price, and with this feature set, the Tom Tom One blows away the competition.
RRP: $799

What’s Frivolous About Investigating Justice Loya’s Death?

What’s Frivolous About Investigating Justice Loya’s Death?

Illustration: Akshita Monga

id we really think this week wasn’t going to get any worse? In a week where our elected representatives have either remained silent over a slew of heinous crimes against women and children, or have opened their mouths to let out a stream of utter garbage, we thought we were done. That we would be able to enjoy our weekend in peace, curled up in bed with our copy of the Constitution of India, and bide the days until the Avengers: Infinity War release by thinking about our superheroes over at the judiciary.

The Supreme Court on April 19 dismissed PILs seeking an investigation into the death of one its own justices, describing them as “scurrilous” and “frivolous”. The death of Justice BH Loya has been the subject of national debate since last year, ever since an in-depth investigation by the The Caravan magazine revealed the murky circumstances surrounding the judge’s demise. At the time of his suspicious death – concerns about which were raised by his own family – the judge was presiding over the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case involving BJP president Amit Shah. Following the magazine’s reports, activists as well as Opposition politicians filed petitions seeking an independent investigation into the death, only to have them all summarily rejected yesterday by the Supreme Court.

Despite the unresolved questions raised by the magazine’s 24 reports, the Supreme Court chose to go ahead with its ruling: Instead of ordering an independent probe, the court chose to give primacy to the statements provided by the four judges who were present with Loya when he was taken to the hospital where he was declared dead. And therein lies the rub. The bench set up to hear the petitions, headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra (whose impeachment Opposition parties have been calling for), saw the petitions for an independent probe to verify the judges’ claims “scandalous” and tantamount to “a frontal attack on the judiciary”.

Excuse us, my lords, stepping out of line here, but how? How is a request for investigation into the death of a judge, an attack on the judiciary? If Amit Shah, or the ruling party, or anyone who stands to lose through an independent investigation had objected to it and called it an “attack”, we’d have said, “Oh ok, makes complete sense,” and moved on to the next meme on our timelines. But this from India’s highest judicial forum and final court of appeal?

But to imply that wanting to know how a judge died is frivolous, is a bit much even for the Supreme Court, who we look up to, to protect the interests of democracy. In pursuit of this mission, it has devoted time to hearing PILs concerning the banning of Santa-Banta jokes and even spent almost a year before deciding to reject a petition to make yoga mandatory in schools. One of the most popular PILs people like to file is the ban on pornography, which the Supreme Court patiently hears every time before responding with the example of Khajuraho. In 2016, acting on another PIL, the Supreme Court made standing up in theatres for the National Anthem, with Chief Justice Misra worryingly stating, “people must feel they live in a nation and this individually perceived notion of freedom must go.” Surely these are more frivolous than the suspicious death of a judge?

We have so many questions, our brains are exploding.

We can almost predict how the next few days are going to unfold: People on all sides of the political spectrum are going to bicker, nitpick, and “whatabout” their way around.

Nobody is refuting the Supreme Court’s status as the apex judiciary institution in the country, but is it not answerable to the public? After all, a public interest litigation is filed in public interest. Rather than a move to undermine the judiciary, wouldn’t ensuring that a Supreme Court judge’s death is properly investigated be a sign of respect for the post? And if the judges who were with Loya provided statements as witnesses, why are those statements now being afforded the weight of a judge’s reading?

By dismissing those seeking a fair investigation as using the court to settle “business and political rivalries”, it is overlooking the fact that Justice Loya’s death might have grave implications on the independence of the judiciary.

Once again, as the apex judicial body in the country, the finality of the Supreme Court’s decisions has to be respected. But to state that the four judges cannot be questioned due to lack of substantial contradictory evidence hints at hubris. Even if in theory the SC is impartial and bipartisan, it is still run by human beings, subject to the same pressures that Justice Loya’s family alleges he was.

Maybe it is unwise to link a series of events that have occured in our courts and slap on a conclusion to them, but it has to be said, all has not been well recently in the state of the judiciary.

At the start of the year, when the Loya case began making news, four Supreme Court judges made the unprecedented move of holding a press conference to talk about a widening rift in the institution. They alleged the administration of the Supreme Court was not in order and cast aspersions on the conduct of Chief Justice Dipak Misra. Such an act was completely unheard of before it happened, and it shook the public’s faith in the Supreme Court’s health. While this was the most shocking development, other scandals have also contributed to tarnishing the court’s stellar reputation.

Former Arunachal Pradesh CM Kalikho Pul committed suicide at his residence, leaving behind a suicide note alleging corruption in the judiciary. The ongoing Medical Council of India bribery scandal has seen allegations of judges taking bribes to overrule MCI’s decisions pertaining to India’s medical colleges. And this afternoon, a coalition of Opposition MPs submitted a motion for the impeachment of Chief Justice Misra to Vice President Venkaiah Naidu. Should the motion be moved, like January’s presser, it would be another unwanted first in the history of the Indian judiciary.

The saddest bit is, that now that the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has termed the Opposition’s impeachment motion as an act of revenge against the Loya ruling, the issue is now irrevocably politicised. We can almost predict how the next few days are going to unfold: People on all sides of the political spectrum are going to bicker, nitpick, and “whatabout” their way around. The ruling party will not fail to remind the Opposition of everything it has done and vice versa.

What will be forgotten, is the death of an upstanding judge. And that, will be an act of “frivolity”. That, is the real attack on the judiciary.

The Hero Artifact needs

The Hero Artifact needs
Editor’s Note: I want to preface this article with a few things. I’m not a game developer, I’m not a marketing expert, nor am I a world champion trading card game player. I’m just a guy that has played physical card games since the mid-1990’s, a huge fan of DotA, and whom I suspect was Artifact’s target audience at its inception. Outside of the Valve employees, I truly believe I am one of the few people that actually wants Artifact to succeed more than anyone else. I just wanted to explain where this was coming from, before diving in. Without further ado…

Artifact is a failure.

It pains me to say it, but by today’s expectations, this is the worst launch of a Valve title, ever. I’m going to do my best to keep this article from devolving into a doom and gloom, this is the Armageddon type of article and instead I want to talk about some strategies Valve could work towards, that might turn things around. I don’t pretend to know more than Valve does, I don’t think I have any special knowledge that they don’t. I’ve just been thinking about this problem for quite a long time.
Someone asked me recently, “What would you do if you were given control of Artifact, right now?” and it got me thinking. I actually wrote this article many weeks ago, and it’s gone through many different versions, and I even reached out to a Valve Developer to share some of these ideas. But it fell on deaf ears, of course Artifact Developers can’t receive ideas from random players, obviously, but the developer did suggest I post it publicly. They also emphasized that Valve is paying extra attention right now.
Thinking about it from their perspective, I’m sure things are pretty hectic right now. They’re probably running around with their hair on fire, trying to figure out what went wrong, and why. And that’s part of the reason why I didn’t want to post this article in the first place. Valve Developers are trying to put out fires left and right, why would they look into someone’s custom card designs or monetization ideas? And most of what I had to suggest has likely been suggested dozens of times already.
Writing this article has made me feel somewhat stupid. Like I’m the last kid in my neighborhood still playing with GI Joe toys. As if I were writing a letter to Hasbro, recommending they put a shiny new gun in the next GI Joe model, “Yeah, that’ll bring the other kids back!” Sure, writing up my own idea for a Roshan game in Artifact might seem pretty stupid, looking at it from the outside. But aren’t we all kind of that stupid kid, right now? Nobody is playing Artifact, yet here we all are?
Either way, I spent so much time thinking about this, I just had to post it. But before I can break down my own personal plan on how to fix Artifact, I’d like to take a moment and explain what I think is actually wrong with the game. To do that, I’m going to compare Artifact to DotA Auto Chess, a free custom game mode in DotA 2 that is currently surging in popularity. Currently, 40,000 people are playing it right now and 1.7 million people have added it to their list of subscriptions. I believe it was made by a single person, or a very small team of people. This should be pretty alarming to the entire Artifact community, that a tiny game like this is dwarfing our game in popularity.

Artifact isn’t “fun”

Fun is pretty subjective. Personally, I find great pleasure in being challenged by complicated situations in card games, having to think my way out and find a way to win. But again, I’m the target audience for Artifact, I knew I would enjoy this game. But for general audiences, is that really fun? I feel like most people lose in Artifact quite a bit, and leave immediately, or worse, they know they’ll lose a lot, so they don’t even bother trying the game.
Why DotA auto chess is more “fun” than Artifact, I don’t really have an answer. It definitely has more RNG than Artifact, so that isn’t the excuse. And frankly, I never believed RNG was a problem in Artifact, RNG is just a fact of card games, you can’t escape it. I think maybe DotA Auto Chess is just less intimidating, you can play at your own leisure, without having to really focus and exhaust mental energy. Which is quite the opposite of Artifact.

Artifact isn’t approachable

Artifact is ridiculously complex, even from a great distance. Imagine you have never played a card game, never even looked into one, and you decide to watch a stream for Artifact. “Hey, this game is made by Valve, I’ll give it a look!” As I’m sure you are already aware, it’s impossible to even follow what’s going on. It’s hard to even see who is winning. And then guess what? Artifact only gets more convoluted, growing even more complex the deeper you look into it! Add in the pressure of losing in a competitive environment, people won’t even bother to try the game!
And that is what is so sad about Artifact. It’s got this amazingly deep and intricate game design, where all these different aspects and tiny events all take place, at a seemingly random sequence, and players are forced to combine it all together and win! If enough people try the game, surely it will win them over. But getting them to play is the problem.
DotA Auto Chess, on the other hand, is extremely approachable. It seems very simple from a distance, but is complex under the hood (okay, it’s not THAT complex, but it’s not as simple as the game seems). This has been one of Hearthstone’s major points in advertising declaring the game as “Deceptively simple”, implying that the game seems simple, yet grows more complex the more you learn about it. Artifact does not seem simple, period.

Artifact isn’t accessible

You’ve already got two huge barriers in front for your game, it’s not really fun and it seems ridiculously complex. But then Valve goes and does something even more devastating… They slap a $20 price tag on it. You really think people are going to buy that? (Full disclosure, I was one of the poor saps that dropped $400 on the first day, buying up packs to complete a full collection! But again, I was who this game was made for. I regret nothing!).
Recognizing these three major issues, I’d like to go back to the original questions someone asked me. “What would you do if you were given control of Artifact, right now?” I’ve thought a lot about this and created somewhat of a multi-step process that could work towards tackling these problems. In fact, you could sum it all up with one word --

Okay, it’s actually a little more complicated than that. It would involve a lot of moving parts, but hopefully right a lot of missteps thus far in Artifact’s short life. Let’s start with some of the most important steps first...

1 - Announce Artifact International

Give us the date and location. It’s actually quite unnerving that Valve hasn’t said a word about this since August of 2018. Are they thinking about cancelling it all together? Will the entire event cost too much, compared to the likely dismal return on investment? I’ve thought of the possibility that Valve could end up combining the Artifact International with the DotA International, if it were necessary. At least in that scenario, we’d still get the tournament.
As part of the Artifact International, it’s also important to clearly outline how players can qualify for the event. (Something that Valve has also already promised...) Many players, myself included, have been investing their time in this game, hoping to be a top player within the esports scene. Unfortunately, because of the abysmal player totals, I can’t imagine there will be a healthy esports scene in a few years, if things don’t turn around.

2 - Battle Pass

Take a page from DotA’s book, release a Battle Pass for this inaugural Artifact International. With it, comes a whole host of new things. A Roshan Game Mode, Weekly Quests, Cosmetic rewards, more opportunities to gain Account Experience, and whatever else Valve can cook up!
Of course the only way you could do this, and do it right, is to release this for free to all players who purchased the game, and any future buyers of the game. In the future, you could of course sell other Battle Passes for $9.99, just like you do in DotA, but for right now, in Artifact, it wouldn’t be a good idea.
In fact, I don’t know if it would even be a good idea to allow players to buy extra levels for their Battle Pass. I mean, I guess you would have to do it, for those few players that won’t have time to grind their Battle Pass up, but maybe if you don’t have any crazy level rewards, like 1,000 or 2,000, it might not be a problem. The most important thing here is not to look like you want money. Right now, Valve, you need to look like having players is more important than making any money. I’d probably make it really easy to unlock all the rewards in the Battle Pass, if a player put in minimal effort.

3 - Roshan Game Mode

Full disclosure, this was the impetus for writing this article. I can’t understand why Roshan isn’t in the game to begin with, so I’ve spent some time thinking about how I would like to see him implemented. The most important piece for this game mode, it’s entire goal, is to be FUN. Make this a fun game mode, like the Solo content in Hearthstone, or like Slay the Spire , one of the absolute best single player card games of all time. I’m aware Valve has already stated that “Artifact isn’t a campaign game”, but they’ve already changed their mind on one thing, couldn’t they change their mind on this?
My idea for a Roshan game mode is actually pretty simple. Roshan is across all three lanes in the game, opposite your towers, with shared Health in each lane. It doesn’t matter too much what his Health total is, it could be 100, or even 200. The goal is pretty simple, kill Roshan before he kills your towers. But who would be Roshan’s Heroes and what spells could he cast? Let me introduce you to the Roshlings...
At the beginning of every match versus Roshan, he would spawn a random assortment of Roshlings for the game. And his deck would be built to match those colors. Yes, the Roshlings are overpowered, that’s the point. You could make the game mode even more exciting by increasing the starting mana to maybe 4 or 5 Mana. If you really wanted to get crazy, you could even include special item cards exclusive for Roshan’s deck. Maybe an Aegis, Cheese, or even a Refresher Shard? These items would only increase the difficulty of facing against Roshan.
What would make this somewhat exciting is players can’t fully prepare for what Roshlings they might have to face against, so they can’t build specific decks to counter Roshan. This could also invite many new players to Artifact, allowing them to try the game out without having to play against boring bots. Most importantly, this content could be fleshed out even more, adding in all kinds of new mechanics. And with the right incentives, you might be able to push all of those new players toward becoming devoted Artifact players. Incentives, like maybe...

4 - Weekly Quests

By introducing Weekly Quests for Battle Pass owners, you are giving the player base a new goal to work towards. Currently, there isn’t much in the game making players want to play more, or in different ways. Weekly Quests are physical goals that can motivate a player to work towards something. Sure, players need a reward to work towards, maybe Battle Pass levels, account experience, event tickets, Call to Arms packs, or cosmetic rewards would do the trick.
Here’s some example Weekly Quests:
  • Beat the Roshan Game Mode with each Mono Colored deck
  • Get three Perfect Gauntlets in Phantom Draft/Constructed Gauntlet
  • Win 10 games with Bolt of Damocles/Enough Magic
These can also give players new motivation to try things they are unwilling to attempt. By creating incentives for players to experiment with new things, they will spend time in the game! I’ve been grinding the constructed Gauntlet because I set a goal for myself, to hit 70 skill rating by the end of January (Which I have). But I have no other motivation to play the game right now, nothing to work towards, no new goals. This is a problem for player retention.

5 - Cosmetics

This is something that’s pretty much been confirmed by Valve. In the Skill Rating level up page, you can see one of the imps wearing a Knight’s Helm and brandishing a Sword. For Christmas, Valve put Santa Hats on the imps. With how many people that have been asking for this, I’m sure Valve is already working on it. But a Battle Pass would be a great way to introduce these cosmetics to your players, giving them exclusive cosmetic rewards for having been a part of the first Artifact International Battle Pass!
You could go a step further even, introduce golden and/or animated Hero cards, which could also offer unique animations in game. Maybe a Golden would have a special spell? These are also things players have been asking for.

6 - Set 2

Set 2 can be teased through the Artifact International Battle Pass. Maybe every 10 levels, players can unlock a card reveal in the game. As part of each cards reveal, players could be granted a future pack, when set 2 releases? For a completed Battle Pass, maybe it would be possible to earn 10 packs of Set 2? This would be a great way to build hype toward the second set for Artifact, which Valve could release after the Artifact International.

7 - Transition into Free-to-Play

Once the Artifact International concludes, the $19.99 Price tag completely drops and the game moves into a free-to-play option for players.
The Roshan game mode is now a permanent “Event” game mode, no longer exclusive for Battle Pass owners. This Game mode could be expanded upon in the future, offering new challenges for players seeking single player content.
Weekly quests are now an integrated part of the game, no longer exclusive for Battle Pass owners. New quests introduced every few months, creating a new challenge for players, with the ultimate goal of keeping them playing.
Set 2 would also release, after Artifact International. Hopefully because of the Battle Pass packs earned, players would want to complete more of their collection, by earning packs by playing through weekly quests, by buying packs directly, by earning packs through prize play, or even by buying cards individually off the marketplace.

What would a Free to Play Artifact look like?

  • Free to download the game
  • The Starter decks are then given for free, but the cards are market locked
  • Phantom Draft, Versus Bots, and Matchmaking with Starter Decks is available
  • Players can level up their account to unlock additional Call to Arms/Set 2 packs
  • Weekly Quests also grant experience, Set 2 packs, and event tickets
  • The Market still exists for players who want to spend money to buy cards directly
  • Future Battle Passes would be $9.99 with the option to buy extra levels, just like the DotA Battle Passes

Would this make Artifact more “fun”?

Yes. People want cosmetics, people want free things, and I believe many people would like to experience Artifact in a less competitive, stress free, game mode. It doesn't have to be exactly what I suggested, but something along those lines. Just give people a way to play Artifact in a fun, kind of laid back game mode.

Would this make Artifact more approachable?

Maybe? By having a solo gameplay experience, you can attract a much larger audience. Now you would have 3 groups of players, Solo PvE players, draft players, and constructed players. The Roshan game mode could also be a much smoother and better experience for brand new players coming to Artifact, maybe they’ve never even played a card game before, this could be a great way to introduce them to Artifact’s mechanics without the pressure of a competitive environment.

Would this make Artifact more accessible?

Obviously. How could you ever expect to release a card game on iOS and android at a $20 price tag? It wouldn’t work at all. By being free, and giving players the option to earn cards for free, you attract a much larger audience. We already know the gameplay of Artifact is nearly impeccable, but the barrier of entry is the issue.
In the end, we all want Artifact to be fun, approachable, and accessible, but most importantly, being played by people. As of right now, less than 2,000 people are playing the game, it’s on its deathbed. Valve needs to do something, and do something quick.
I don’t really know what Valve should or shouldn’t do. I just want Artifact to be popular, have a healthy player base, and a community excited for the future of the game... So again, of course I want the best for the game. I only brought all these ideas to the table because of the hypothetical question from earlier. I’m sure Valve is going to do the right thing and make this game as great as I know it can be. And like I mentioned earlier, I have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m not a game developer... I’m just the last kid playing with a GI Joe toy...
Editor's Note: I'd also like to take a moment and bring your attention to DrawTwo's latest article from Aleco. He has echoed many of the same points in this article and we released our articles at the same time and encourage you to read both, hoping to send a stronger message to the community! We're all in this together!
I fully agree
Starfox72 [FR]
I can't get enough of this game. I hope it won't die. You wrote down some very neat ideas. I hope Valve is reading.
Felt like reading a 12 y.o. child's essay. I'm the same target audience guy, but everything in this post is so unrealistic and so drunk.. Seems like exactly the opposite of what Valve will do and they would be right. Although weekly challanges and maybe battle passes may be added in future, free-to-play artifact? srsly? Custom game? Cybersport event for a PAY TO WIN GAME? HOW DO YOU IMAGINE THAT? what are you even talking about? If someone wants this in a card game, they would probably play hearthstone instead.

Trading card game players are not the target audience, as Valve said themselves in those 1.2 patch notes you linked when they admitted they don't know the difference between a digital TCG like MTGO and a CCG like MTGA despite hiring the guy that made them both to explain it to them.
Trading card players left and are never coming back, we got pennies on the dollar back in Steam funny money from this bait and switch cash grab scam and their toxic crusaders have openly mocked and cyberbullied the few of us that dared to complain or say Valve did anything wrong while Valve themselves have banned us from reddit and the steam forums and deleted our valid and more constructive criticism than yours.
So please change the wording of your first line, because you are not a trading card game player period, and Artifact was never a trading card game, which is why it is the only game out of literally thousands of them on Steam with trading cards that are not tradable and don't have their own special subforum titled "Trading" to trade them in. How would Valve have scammed us with that artificially inflated marketplace then?
You are welcome to continue to support the shadiest developer we've ever encountered but we are already back to playing our up to 10 man multiplayer games with the full chat Valve lied about too free of toxicity and warning everyone else to stay away and aren't coming back so please don't call yourself a trading card game player while you are supporting a non-trading card game and its inept developer's greed and player toxicity which is everything we real trading card players have been against for decades. Anyone that does support those things are the target audience, and you and the scummiest developer on the planet and this crappy coin flipping simulator disguised as a card game all deserve each other. Thanks in advance.

ASTM F2095 - 07(2013)

    Standard Test Methods for Pressure Decay Leak Test for Flexible Packages With and Without Restraining Plates

    Active Standard ASTM F2095 | Developed by Subcommittee: F02.40

    Book of Standards Volume: 15.10

      Format Pages Price
    PDF 6 $48.00   ADD TO CART
    Hardcopy (shipping and handling) 6 $48.00   ADD TO CART

    Significance and Use

    5.1 These test methods provide a rapid, simple to apply method to detect small leaks in flexible package seals or walls at the leak rate level of greater than 1 × 10−4 sccs, thus providing a measure of package integrity. Porous barrier film packages made non-porous with an impermeable film forming coating may demonstrate lateral leakage through the barrier material. Verification of leakage differences from background leakage must be included in validation methods. The use of calibrated hole sizes or orifices may be appropriate to determine leakage sensitivity or barrier integrity for these materials.

    5.2 While theoretical leak rate sensitivity can be established by calculation, the test measurement is in pressure units and the measuring instrument must be calibrated, certified, and verified with these units.

    5.3 The pressure decay method of leak testing is a physical measure of package integrity. When testing medical packaging which must conform to ISO 11607–1: 2006 standards, it may necessary to verify the results of the pressure decay test method with other sterile package integrity test methods.

    5.4 Test Method A allows packages to be pressurized without restraint. In Test Method A the pouch, tray, or other type package will contain a volume of air defined by its mechanical configuration and its ability to resist internal pressure applied. This test method requires that the package reach a stable volume configuration (stop stretching) to make a measurement.

    5.5 Test Method B allows the use of rigid restraining plates against the walls of the package to limit its volume and stabilize the package volume.

    1. Scope

    1.1 These test methods cover the measurement of leaks in nonporous film, foil, or laminate flexible pouches and foil-sealed trays, which may be empty or enclose solid product. If product is enclosed, seals or surfaces cannot be in contact with water, oils, or other liquid.

    1.2 These test methods will detect leaks at a rate of 1 × 10−4 sccs (standard cubic centimetres per second) or greater, in flexible packages. The limitation of leak rate is dependent on package volume as tested.

    1.3 The following test methods are included:

    1.3.1 Test Method A—Pressure Decay Leak Test for Flexible Packages Without Restraining Plates

    1.3.2 Test Method B—Pressure Decay Leak Test for Flexible Packages With Restraining Plates

    1.4 These test methods are destructive in that they require entry into the package to supply an internal pressure of gas, typically air or nitrogen, although other gases may be used. The entry connection into the flexible package must be leak-tight.

    1.5 For porous packages, see 9.3.

    1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

    2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Theft Deterrent Still Leaves Consumers Phoneless

Tech Tips

Theft Deterrent Still Leaves Consumers Phoneless
Loss Theft Infographic

Cellphone theft is becoming more common. After reviewing millions of consumer claims, Asurion estimates that over $5 billion worth of cellphones are lost or stolen annually.

From this claims data, Asurion found that iconic devices such as the Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy series are 35 percent more likely to be lost or stolen than other smartphones.

Manufacturers are taking note of the need for improved device protection. Apple’s iOS 7 includes a new function called “Activation Lock,” which has been dubbed the “kill switch” by many media outlets, and its iPhone 5S features a fingerprint scanner.

While this type of protection and theft deterrent may help curb mobile device thefts, when a customer’s device is stolen, he or she is left without a phone, needing to replace the device on their own if they don’t have insurance coverage.

Nearly 50 percent of iPhone claims processed by Asurion are the result of a lost or stolen device, and while it remains to be seen if theft deterrent initiatives such as kill switches, fingerprint scanners and databases will curb crime, many consumers are left unprotected with hundreds of dollars in replacement costs looming overhead.

“We live in an age where many of our personal keepsakes and so much of our private information lives in digital format on our mobile devices,” said Bettie Colombo, spokesperson for Asurion. “Just as we lock the door when leaving the house or put our most valuable possessions in a safe deposit box, so too should we care for our digital property. By taking appropriate precautions, we can ensure our digital memories are always accessible; our private information secure; and our ability to stay connected with family, friends and colleagues maintained.”

    Geared for gaming

    Strix SCAR II is powered by up to the latest 8th Generation Intel® Core™ processor with up to 32GB of DDR4 2666MHz memory, and a choice of either NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 or GTX 1070 graphics. For storage, it can be specified with up to a 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe® 3.0 x4 and a 1TB Seagate® FireCuda™ solid-state hybrid drive (SSHD).

Intel Speed Shift and Turbo Boost technologies also push the processor to speeds of up to 4GHz (four-core) and 3.9GHz (six-core) respectively. Intel Hyper-Threading enables up to 12 threads to handle every task quickly and efficiently, including simultaneous gaming, recording, and live-streaming. In addition, Strix SCAR II has up to 32GB of DDR4 2666MHz dual-channel memory for faster processing speeds and lower power consumption.

    The 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD offers a potential bandwidth of up to 32Gbps, so everything feels fast and smooth. When used as primary storage or as a secondary drive to support the SSD, the 5400rpm FireCuda SSHD used in Strix SCAR II loads games in less than half the time taken by the 1TB 7200rpm HDDs — and it’s quieter, too. The SSHD takes note of the most frequently used files, and caches them onto its onboard flash memory for faster file access speeds.

    Extreme cooling with HyperCool Pro

    The HyperCool Pro thermal system provides the cooling performance to help Strix SCAR II get the most out of its high-performance CPU and GPU. An extended cooling plate soaks up heat and spreads it evenly to avoid thermal throttling and keep chipset power components below 90°C, while two high-performance 12V fans deliver stronger airflow and increased air pressure to cool the CPU and GPU and drive hot air out of the chassis.

    HyperCool Pro also incorporates the patented Anti-Dust Cooling (ADC) system, which uses centrifugal force to expel dust particles and dirt out of the chassis. This prevents build-up on the heatsink fins and ensures a stable gaming experience. There’s less noise too, since the fans aren’t overworked. The special copper cooling fins used in Strix Scar II are just 0.1mm thin — half the thickness of regular fins. This increases the surface area for heat dissipation by up to 10%, and reduces air resistance by 7%.

    The Overboost app, accessible by pressing FN + F5 or via the Gaming Center hotkey, can be used to select three different fan settings. Fan Overboost provides the fastest fan speed to fully exploit the power of Strix SCAR II during intense gaming. Silent mode curbs fan speed and power consumption for less demanding tasks. A balanced mode delivers stable fan performance at a moderate noise level.

Press Release

Attorney General Josh Shapiro Brings Drug Deactivation Pouches to 77 Northeast Pennsylvania Pharmacies

July 26, 2017 | Topic: Opioids

DUNMORE, PA — Attorney General Josh Shapiro today brought the Office of Attorney General’s drug deactivation and disposal pouch initiative to 77 pharmacies in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties. The pouches are being provided to pharmacies to reduce the diversion of prescription drugs in the 12 Pennsylvania counties hit hardest by the opioid epidemic.

Through the drug pouch initiative, Attorney General Shapiro is acting to make sure everyone receiving a Schedule II narcotic at a participating pharmacy will be offered a free disposal pouch, and that anyone who requests one can obtain a free pouch to safely dispose of unwanted and unused prescription drugs. Examples of Schedule II narcotics include Percocet, oxycodone and fentanyl, among other drugs.

“Eighty percent of heroin addicts start with the abuse of prescription drugs, and the vast majority of those who misuse these drugs got them from friends, relatives or a medicine cabinet,” Attorney General Shapiro said at DePietro’s Pharmacy in Lackawanna County. “The communities hit hard by this epidemic are sick of it, and towns here in northeastern Pennsylvania have too often been ignored. We hear your pain and today, we’re bringing the fight into small towns and local pharmacies to help.”

The drug pouches can deactivate up to 45 unwanted pills when warm water is added and the pouches are sealed. The pouches can then be safely disposed of in the trash. 288 pharmacies in Pennsylvania will provide pouches to their customers and anyone who requests them.

“We’re working with pharmacists, health care providers and the public to deactivate the unused prescription drugs fueling this epidemic,” Shapiro said. “These deactivation pouches will help shut off that supply.”

“ Consumers need to be educated on the benefits of disposing unused medication,” said Thomas R. DePietro, PharmD and owner of DePietro’s Pharmacy. “Up until this point, they haven’t had a convenient and safe way to do so. Having a forward-thinking Attorney General not only identify this problem, but also provide a solution to this drug epidemic will most certainly save lives.”

In the first six months of 2017, the Office of Attorney General and the Pennsylvania National Guard destroyed 22.68 tons of unused prescription drugs collected from communities across Pennsylvania. By comparison, 26 tons of unused drugs were destroyed in all of 2016.

The Deterra Drug Deactivation pouches were purchased by the Office of Attorney General through its Community Drug Abuse Prevention Program, which is funded by fines assessed under Act 198 for driving under the influence and drug offenses.

The pouches are being distributed in counties hardest hit by the epidemic that also have poor access to take-back boxes, using data from the state Department of Health’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program and the Department of Drug and Alcohol.

In addition to Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, the other 10 counties receiving pouches are Blair, Butler, Cambria, Erie, Fayette, Indiana, Lawrence, Lehigh, Mercer and Montour. Last year in Pennsylvania, 4,642 persons died of fatal overdoses – a 37 percent increase over 2015.

“We thank DePietro’s Pharmacy and every pharmacy and health care provider across Pennsylvania that has joined us,” Attorney General Shapiro said at today’s news conference in Dunmore, where he was joined by pharmacy owner DePietro, Lackawanna County District Attorney Shane Scanlon and local officials. “By working together, we can get unused prescription drugs out of circulation and make sure they never wind up in the wrong hands.”

“As a partner with the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, we are proud to see our state take yet another step in fighting opioid abuse and misuse,” said Dr. John Gallagher, Opioid Task Force chair of the Pennsylvania Medical Society. “The Deterra Drug Pouch program will give hard-hit areas of our state an easy way to dispose of leftover Schedule II narcotics. We believe this program has the potential to save many lives.”

Other participating pharmacies in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties include American Infusion, Dalton Pharmacy, Leonard’s Pharmacy, Olexy Pharmacy, Tuzze Pharmacy, Crestwood Pharmacy, Nockley Family Pharmacy, Pierce Drug, Triangle Pharmacy, Valley Pharmacy, Weis, GIANT, CVS, Target, Rite-Aid and Walmart. As part of the initiative, the Office of Attorney General has made a website available to the public to learn where the participating pharmacies are located.

Tips for Bathroom Plumbing Remodeling

Sunday, November 5th, 2017

Bathroom remodeling projects can be very exciting. The bathroom is one of the more important places in the home, after all: the first place you visit when you get up in the morning and the last place you stop at on the way to bed at night. If it looks ugly — or even just out of date — or the fixtures aren’t working the way you’d like, a remodeling project can literally change everything. With the right team on your side, you can turn this most important part of the home into a place you can really feel good about.

Utilizing Your HVAC System for a Good Sleep

Tuesday, March 12th, 2019

utilizing hvac system sleepWith proper HVAC technology and maintenance services, like the kind provided by our technicians with At Your Service Plumbing, Heating & Air, you can control the air quality and comfort levels of your home or business to the full extent. Modern systems allow for complete grasp over everything from basic temperatures to several other HVAC areas, allowing you to make life more comfortable without running up a huge energy bill.

One particular area where your ability to control your comfort levels comes in handy? Sleep. You may not realize it, but there are several HVAC areas that relate directly to your body’s consistent ability to get a good night of sleep – let’s look at a few of these areas and how you can optimize them while still keeping your utility bill low.

Proper Temperature Range

The simplest task of your HVAC system is maintaining your desired temperature, and the range you should be in here is more specific than you might think when it comes to sleep. The National Sleep Foundation recommends all humans sleep with the temperature somewhere between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit.

If your room is significantly colder or warmer than this, it could lead to restlessness and the disruption of REM sleep, a vital bodily cycle. You should be on the higher end of this range if a baby or toddler sleeps in the room with you, but never exceed 70 for any reason.

Humidity Concerns

Beyond just the temperature, the humidity of your room is also very important. Too much can lead to a damp, muggy feeling that’s both unhealthy and can risk the wood in your home. If humidity is too low, on the other hand, the room – and possibly your skin, throat, hair and nasal passages – will feel very dry.

The optimal range for humidity is between 40 and 45 percent in general, and humidity level detectors are cheaply purchased at any home improvement store. If your home has consistent low humidity issues, speak to our pros about a whole-home humidifier.

Thermostat Options

The thermostat controls much of the above, and which option you choose will play a big role in how tight your grip is. Most homes today have at least a programmable thermostat, which allows you to set a schedule that includes sleep hours – you can have the temperature drop into the proper range if you prefer it higher than 67 during the day, for instance.

There are additional options out there as well, however. A zoned HVAC system includes multiple thermostats that are each responsible for their own area, allowing you to adjust bedroom temperatures only if you want. There are also smart thermostat options that can be controlled from anywhere using your smartphone.

Utilizing Fans

If you’re looking for a low-cost way to cool your room down at night, consider your ceiling fans. These not only can lower the temperature by a degree or two, they circulate air and keep it fresh all night.

For more on utilizing your HVAC system for a good night’s rest, or to learn about any of our HVAC or plumbing services, contact the pros with At Your Service Plumbing, Heating & Air today.

Big Things Coming For Australian Shepherd Lovers In 2019

I'm always trying to find ways to improve and create more resources for the Aussie community. Of course, I have a lot of new articles scheduled and I'd love to see suggestions of what you'd like to see, but there has been a lot of interest in Pinterest.

Even though our presence on Pinterest is limited right now, that is going to be changing in the coming months. We'll be adding a lot of boards and creating a new resource for all you Aussie pinners out there.

I'll also be creating a forum for Aussie mixes for owners to submit photos and share stories and information. I'm hoping this will be a great place for people with mixes, like those who have opened their homes to Aussie rescues (who aren't always purebred). This will be similar to our section on the site for Australian Shepherd owners... and if you haven't already, you can create a page all about your Aussie (and be sure to include photos) here.

Of course, our main focus will always remain the wonderful Australian Shepherd breed. In fact, one of the new articles this month is about Australian Shepherd breeding and the incredible dedication reputable Aussie breeders have and the vital service they provide in maintaining standards and keeping the breed healthy.

Until next time...

All the Best to You and Your Furry Friends,

~ Anton
