ANSYS Fluent Sets Record with 129,000 Cores
Shawn Wasserman posted on September 11, 2015 |
ANSYS has announced that they have scaled their CFD simulation software, ANSYS Fluent, to 129,000 cores. This impressive HPC solution spanned two supercomputing centers running Cray XC30 systems operating at 90 percent efficiency.

ANSYS claims that this efficiency in itself is worth noting as competitor simulation packages tend to operate at around 75 percent efficiency when approaching this scale.

It wasn’t long ago that ANSYS announced that Fluent was scaled up to 36,000 cores. ANSYS has since increased the scope of their scalable simulations capabilities.

"This [3.6x] increase over the previous record for compute core count includes a complex simulation involving multiple complicated physics, in this case an industrial combustor," said Wim Slagter, ANSYS HPC product manager. "We test our software on real-life applications by partnering with the global leaders in supercomputing. That's the only way we can ensure that the advancements made in the lab are actually usable by our industrial customers."

This breakthrough was made with the help of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), and supercomputing company Cray Inc.

"Less than a year ago, our partners ANSYS and NCSA made a breakthrough with a 36,000-core fluid dynamics simulation," said Steve Scott, chief technology officer at Cray. "Only a few months later, the team has eclipsed that record. This example of extreme scalability for high-fidelity simulations is needed to keep up with the accelerated pace of innovation in the marketplace."

By increasing the number of cores ANSYS can work with, customers will be able to run more complex simulations faster, allowing for more iterations to optimize designs. Though most customers will not have access to computing power near this record, they will still be able to improve the speed of their simulations on smaller HPC setups thanks to this research.

Within the last decade, it wasn’t uncommon to hear that the maximum scalability for a simulation was around 512 cores. However, ANSYS has been able to double their scalability annually.

Another simulation company, CD-adapco, has also improved their scalability, setting records of 102,000 cores and 55,000 cores, making what is turning out to be a significant rivalry in the world of simulation HPC.

How many cores do you have to work with? Do you see a point in using over a quarter of a million cores? Who do you think will dominate the HPC competition? Comment below.

How to Bring Out Natural Curls in a Dry Climate

I had the best hair of my life when I lived in Texas because my naturally-curly hair sopped up all of Texas' glorious humidity. (My skin was radiantly awesome too!) I loved that I didn't have to try very hard to have nice hair! To illustrate, see the photos taken in Texas (below), 2012. I think I spent maybe 10 minutes a day doing my hair...I was in utter hair bliss!

My husband, Greg, makes me so happy...

...I adore him!

Sadly, when we moved back to Utah, my hair went through a dry crisis! I had forgotten how limp, flat, and un-curly my hair was without humidity in the air. My hair had most definitely been pampered in Texas for two-and-a-half years! I was so grateful to be living in Utah again, but I mourned my terrific Texas hair! :(

It took me nearly a year of washing and styling my naturally-curly hair in various ways to finally get my curls back! Okay, my curls will never be exactly how they were in Texas (or Napa, for that matter), but I feel they're much better than they were even three months ago!

Without further ado, here are my suggestions for bringing out natural curls in a dry climate:
  1. Wash your hair with Dove Intensive Therapy Shampoo.
  2. Rinse well.
  3. Condition your hair with Dove Intensive Therapy Conditioner. Leave it on for as long as you can manage.
  4. Rinse well.
  5. Towel-dry your hair.
  6. Gently brush through your hair with a ceramic/tourmaline/ionizing brush. You can use any brand, but I really like Goody's Finish Gel Cushion Brush.
  7. Comb through your hair with a wide-toothed comb to encourage your hair to curl by itself. I use Conair's anti-static Style & Detangle comb, but you can use any brand.
  8. Scrunch up your curls all over your head. Start with your scalp and work all the way down to the ends of your hair. Reverse the scrunching from the bottom and go back to the top.
  9. Finish getting ready however your choose. Just don't do your hair right away—give it several minutes to dry. This allows your hair to not only start curling on its own, but it will be ready to soak up the spray gel in step 10.
  10. Spray Garnier Fructis Curl Shaping Spray Gel into your palms, rub your hands together, then smooth the spray gel all over your hair. Repeat until you've put enough spray gel in your hair for your liking. Your hands will feel sticky, but you can wash them. *It's important to spray the gel into your hands and not directly on your hair, because then you have better control of where the gel goes. **I absolutely prefer Garnier's spray gel because it's not as heavy/crunchy as other styling gels tend to be. Believe me, I've tried more gels than I can list!
  11. Spray your newly-gelled locks with water. Don't drench them, but get them fairly damp. Use a spray bottle that creates a fine mist. *I fill my empty/old Garnier Fructis Curl Shaping Spray Gel bottle with water and use that as my spray bottle. I replace my water spray bottle every time I've emptied another Garnier spray gel bottle.
  12. Bend over so your head is upside down, and scrunch your hair while remaining upside down.
  13. While your hair is still upside down, blow-dry your hair with a diffuser on high heat, and scrunch your hair continuously while drying.
  14. If your hair feels crunchy because the spray-gel is concentrated in one area, hold the blow-dryer on that spot until it gets hot, but don't burn yourself! The heat softens the spray gel and makes your hair hold its style, but it's definitely not crunchy. Repeat the heat-concentration steps until your hair is soft all over.
  15. Once your hair feels not crunchy and is completely dry, turn your blow-dryer's setting to cold. Blow your hair with cold air to set it in that position.
  16. Stand upright, flip your hair, and put your locks into the position you like.
  17. You'll most likely have some stray hairs, or flyaways, but just wet your fingertips and smooth them into place.
I took this selfie two weeks ago to document my dry-climate naturally curly hair. While my hair isn't as lush and curly as it was in Texas, it's much better than it has been in dry Utah!

P.S. Obviously, one of the easiest ways to bring out natural curls in a dry climate is to cut your hair shorter than its current length. That said, I'm enjoying my longer hair and have no plans to cut it anytime soon. I'm happy to say that my husband is thrilled with my decision! :)

  1. Hey, very nice site. I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did. I will definitely be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment. Thanks for sharing.
    Walking Stick Quad Foot

    Keep Posting:)

  2. I also use the same spray gel, on my hands and working around. I use it after using the root plumping cream spray. Love those products !

Thank you for commenting! I love hearing from my readers! :)

Princess Beatrice, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi

Peter Tarry/Shutterstock David M. Benett/Dave Benett/Getty Images

Love could possibly be in the air once again for the British royal family.

Just one month after Princess Eugenie's Oct. 12 gorgeous, fall-inspired wedding to Jack Brooksbank, word on the street is that Eugenie's big sister Princess Beatrice has a new beau in her life. According to Daily Mail, the 30-year-old royal has been seeing Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi for about two months. Mozzi also goes by the moniker Edo. A source told The Sun, "They hit it off instantly and have a real laugh together."

Princess Beatrice and the 34-year-old entrepreneur apparently have known each other for some time. People reported that their families have been acquainted for awhile, so there was no need for a "formal introduction" to Beatrice's parents Sarah Ferguson (Fergie) and Prince Andrew, Duke of York.

Both The Sun and Daily Mail report that Edo is divorced and has a young son named Wolfie.

Before we start checking availability at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle (where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie and Jack tied the knot), it's time to learn a bit more about her rumored romantic interest.

1. He's a business owner: Edo founded Banda in 2007, which is a property search and development firm based in London. He still serves at the CEO of the company, which works internationally too. According to his company bio, "He has considerable experience in the acquisition and funding of complex residential developments and the creation of joint ventures with both UK and international partners."

Banda is also "one of the most sought after developers in London," his bio states. Edo is reportedly a multi-millionaire, which could be in large part thanks to his business ventures.

2. He founded a charity: Banda isn't his only business venture. Edo created Cricket Builds Hope, which teaches people in Rwanda how to play cricket. The site says, "CBH harnesses the power of sport to promote reconciliation and tackle deep-seated social issues like gender inequality through specially tailored sessions run by CBH's cricket coaching team."

A large part of CBH is centered around female empowerment, and coaches apparently "use the values of the game to teach women and girls about leadership."

Although Edo founded Cricket Builds Hope, it stemmed from an idea his stepfather, Christopher Shale, wanted to implement. Shale was a prominent lawmaker in Britain and was close with former Prime Minister David Cameron. According to The Guardian, Shale was found dead at the Glastonbury Festival due to natural causesPeople reports Shale was friends with Beatrice's parents.

3. He's in Fergie's good social media graces: Edo follows Fergie on Twitter. While he also follows many real estate companies and lifestyle magazines, Fergie is one bigger names that he keeps on his social media radar. She also follows him back!

We can't wait to see where this royal romance goes next!

Men who have traditionally used over the counter multi-blade razors are rediscovering the lost art of the vintage shave.

New ESAB PURUS™ 42 solid wire reduces rework and delivers results users can monetise

December 11, 2017

ESAB Welding and Cutting Products has introduced PURUS™ 42, a next-generation solid wire specifically formulated to reduce post-weld cleaning of spatter and silica islands. Classified as an AWS ER70S-6 EN/ISO G3Si1 wire and available in diameters from 0.8 to 1.6 mm.

"We enhanced the metallurgy of PURUS wire to reduce formation of silica islands so that slag self-releases or easily brushes off," says Mikael Mimer, Global Product Line Manager Solid Wires, ESAB. "PURUS wire can reduce post-weld cleaning time and unplanned downtime associated with spatter, reduce or eliminate downtime for removing silica islands in multi-pass welding and reduce or eliminate paint-related quality issues.

PURUS will be available two ways: as a bare wire with the same superior advanced surface characteristics used on ESAB's popular AristoRod wires or with a state-of-the-art copper coating. Both versions deliver a stable process with superior arc stability and minimal spatter. In either formulation, Mimer notes that PURUS delivers results users can monetise, especially in high-volume semi-automatic and robotic applications. At one manufacturer of construction equipment, PURUS reduced arc ignition errors by 66 percent in multi-pass applications.

"Previously, excess silica islands prevented positive arc ignition" he says. "When this occurred, the manufacturer needed to shut down the robotic welding station, spending an average of three minutes to clean the silica islands. With an hourly rate of 70 €/h in the station, each stop cost 3.5 €."

PURUS meets all the technical requirements for an S-6 wire, enabling users to change wires without requalification. To provide batch-to-batch consistency, PURUS uses the most tightly controlled range for the three primary alloying elements of a mild steel wire: Carbon, Manganese and Silicon. In addition, ESAB tightly control a total of 17 raw elements. PURUS provides good wetting so the weld puddle flows nicely and with a smooth transition at the weld toe. PURUS creates a better bead profile and better surface appearance, so it can reduce or eliminate the need for TIG dressing or grinding to remove stress concentrations.

Purus - Marathon Pac and Spool
ESAB specifically formulated PURUS 42 solid wire to reduce post-weld cleaning of spatter and silica islands, minimizing rework and reducing the total cost of welding.

What are the “game-changing” technologies that today’s students are using–and creating?

At the 2008 Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA) conference in Austin, New York Times personal-technology columnist David Pogue offered his thoughts on the topic. Speaking at the group’s Past Presidents’ Celebration, Pogue–one of the world’s best-selling technology “how-to” authors–cited the convergence of phones and the internet, ubiquitous wireless, and Web 2.0 technologies as key tech trends with important implications for schools.

Voice over IP, or the ability to make phone calls over the internet, has driven down the cost of making calls by 30 percent over the last three years, Pogue said.

Skype, which is free software that lets you make calls from computer to computer, has been downloaded some 250 million times, and “it’s huge for college kids,” he said, because it allows them to call their friends from high school free of charge.

Having this capability is nice, Pogue said–but what really would be useful is if a version of Skype came on your cell phone, so you could make internet-based calls free of charge from wherever you are. The technology to do this exists, he said–yet “for some reason, the cell-phone companies are not interested in helping you avoid calling fees.”

There is one exception, though: T-Mobile HotSpot @Home, which launched last June 29.

With this service, any time you’re in a Wi-Fi hot spot, all your calls are free, Pogue said. What’s more, he said, T-Mobile will give you a Wi-Fi box to use in your home or office free of charge, because the company wants you to give up your telephone land line–it’s the only cellular provider that isn’t also in the land-line business.

The HotSpot @Home service seamlessly hands off your call from hot spot to hot spot, or from a hot spot to a cellular network and vice versa, Pogue said. And if your call starts in a Wi-Fi hot spot but is transferred to a cellular network, it’s still free of charge for the duration of the call.

Another service Pogue cited that takes advantage of the convergence of phone and internet service is Google Cellular, which is a no-cost way to eliminate those pesky $2 surcharges on your cell-phone bills when you dial 411 for information.

If you’re looking for directions, or the telephone number of the nearest pizza delivery place, you can send a text message to Google at 46645 (“Google” without the “e”)–and in five seconds, Google will send this information back to your phone at no charge, Pogue said.

The service also works for getting weather information (e.g., “weather austin”), flight information (“aa 152”), stock quotes (“amzn”), movie show times in your area (“shrek 44120”), word definitions, unit conversions, and currency conversions.

Pogue also highlighted various services that convert voice messages to text, and vice versa. He said he uses a service called Simulscribe, which automatically transcribes phone messages and delivers them via eMail. “I don’t check my messages; they come to me–and they’re written out,” he said. Callwave is another software program that turns voice mail to text.

Grand Central, a service bought by Google, will issue you a “uninumber,” or a single phone number that, when dialed, will ring all your phones simultaneously. Because the service is web-based, you can control many options, Pogue said; for example, you can record different greetings for various callers. (You can even set it to respond to callers who are harassing you with a message stating, “We’re sorry, but the number you dialed has been disconnected…”)

Another trend with important implications for schools is “wireless everywhere,” Pogue said. For instance, you can buy cellular cards that plug in your laptop–giving you internet access anywhere you have cell-phone service. These solutions presently cost about $60 a month, but “I can tell you now, they won’t be charging that much when today’s kids are in charge,” he said.

Wireless internet access is coming to cameras and other devices, too, Pogue said. The technology now exists for cameras to upload the pictures you take to a computer automatically through a wireless internet connection, so every time you take a picture, “you know it’s being backed up online,” he said.

Web 2.0 technologies, which rely on user-created content and interactivity, are yet another trend with enormous implications for schools.

“We’re only seeing the tip of the iceberg” with regard to Web 2.0 possibilities, Pogue predicted. He described two new and creative variations on the Web 2.0 theme: One is a site called goloco.org, which allows people who are making local trips (to the mall, for instance) at the same time to find each other and share the ride; the other is an online petition service launched by the U.K. government.

“We’ve only scratched the surface on the things that we can share,” he said.

With these shifts in technology, however, come profound cultural shifts–changes that create whole new challenges for educators.

One of these is the need for instant gratification, Pogue said: Even eMail now seems too slow for many students, who are accustomed to sending and receiving instant text messages on their cell phones.

Another challenge is what Pogue called the “splintering” of kids’ attentions.

“We already have so much information to deal with, and it’s only getting worse,” he warned. “It’s going to be a challenge for this generation to figure out how to divide their attention.”

To address these challenges, educators will have to teach students new skills for processing information, judging the credibility of information, and behaving ethically and responsibly online, Pogue said.

And though advancements in technology are bringing changes at quite a rapid pace, things have a way of working themselves out, he assured conference attendees.

Until they do, he advised, “enjoy the possibilities” that technology affords.

Editor’s note: For more of David Pogue’s thoughts on the social implications of new technologies, see the video “Teaching the Net Generation” here.

Gigabyte Aorus H370 Gaming 3 WiFi Motherboard Review

Aorus H370 Gaming 3 WiFi

The latest Intel motherboards are here at last! Of course, we’ve already seen dozens of impressive Z370 motherboards hit the market, but not it’s time for something a little more affordable and consumer friendly. While these motherboards don’t offer the overclocking features you would find on Z370, they represent incredible value for money for many consumers.

Affordable Gaming

Make no mistake, losing overclocking isn’t a big deal for many people. Firstly, non-K-series CPUs are plenty powerful to play the latest games. Secondly, these motherboards still pack plenty of high-end features to help you maximize performance. With Intel Optane support, M.2 storage, and high-speed DDR4 support, you’ll be well on your way to a sweet gaming rig.

With just two full-size PCIe slots, the Gaming 3 WiFi is well suited to most gaming builds. However, with four PCIe 1x slots, it may be giving a wink to another market, crypto mining. With this configuration, the board looks set to be both affordable, yet capable of running up to six GPUs through the use of riser cables. With a pair of M.2 slots, you can unleash fast storage, and Optane drives too.

Leah Remini and Jada Pinkett Smith Get Candid About Scientology on 'Red Table Talk' (Exclusive)

Leah Remini and Jada Pinkett Smith are clearing things up.

Months after Remini claimed that the Girls Trip star was a Scientologist, which Pinkett Smith denied, the two are hashing things out on the upcoming Monday episode of Red Table Talk. ET has the exclusive first look at what to expect.

"Regardless of what was being presented to you, from me as a friend, you were seeing a side of me that wasn't 100 percent authentic because my job was to always be a perfect person in front of you, or any celebrity, to solely get you into Scientology, fully indoctrinated, fully on board and deserting any other beliefs," Remini says in the sneak peek, which you can watch above.

In September, Pinkett Smith set the record straight about her involvement in Scientology after Remini, who's been outspoken about the controversial religion, claimed she was a member.

"I recently lit Shabbat candles with Rabbi Bentley at Temple Sinai... but I am not Jewish," she said in a series of tweets. "I have prayed in mosques all over the world... but I am not a Muslim. I have read the Bhagavad Gita... but I am not a Hindu. I have chanted and meditated in some of the most magnificent temples on earth… but I am not a Buddhist."

"I have studied Dianetics, and appreciate the merits of Study Tech… but I am not a Scientologist," she concluded. "I practice human kindness, and I believe that we each have the right to determine what we are and what we are not. NO ONE ELSE can hold that power."

Pinkett Smith had previously confirmed to ET that Remini was a scheduled guest on her Facebook Watch show.

"Leah reached out to me and she opened a space for healing between us," she said. "So I embraced it and we decided to bring it to the table."

See more on Remini's claims about Pinkett Smith in the video below.

Public Release:

Human and organizational factors influence software quality

Lappeenranta University of Technology

A new doctoral dissertation by Frank Philip Seth at LUT proposes that human factors involved in the software development processes will determine the quality of the products developed. However, the results of the study also suggest that tools, infrastructure and other resources also have a positive impact on software quality, and the methods of development were found to bring little effect on software quality. According to the research the software quality is an information-intensive process whereby organizational structures, mode of operation, and information flow within the company variably affect software quality.

The results suggest that software development managers influence the productivity of developers and the quality of the software products. Several challenges of software testing that affect software quality are also brought to light. The findings of this research are expected to benefit the academic community and software practitioners by providing an insight into the issues pertaining to software quality construction undertakings.

Software quality has become an important research subject, not only in the Information and Communication Technology spheres, but also in other industries at large where software is applied. Software quality is not a happenstance; it is defined, planned and created into the software product throughout the Software Development Life Cycle.

The research objective of Seth's study is to investigate the roles of human and organizational factors that influence software quality construction. The study employs the Straussian grounded theory. The empirical data has been collected from 13 software companies, and the data includes 40 interviews.

MSc. F. P. Seth, will defend his doctoral dissertation in the field of Software Engineering at the Lappeenranta University of Technology on August 12 at noon, room 1382. His dissertation is titled "Empirical studies on software quality construction: Exploring human factors and organizational influences". Professor Mika Mäntylä of University of Oulu, Finland will act as opponent. Professor Kari Smolander of Lappeenranta University of Technology will act as custodian.

The dissertation has been published in the Acta Universitatis Lappeenrantaensis research series number 642 of the university. ISBN 978-952-265-805-0, ISBN 978-952-265-806-7 (PDF), ISSN-L 1456-4491, ISSN 1456-4491.

There are only a couple of things you ever need to know about the arrival of another World War II shooter: is it an improvement on what's gone before, and is there anything remotely original about it? Well, in this case the answer is - slightly predictably - yes and no.

Without the merest flicker of a doubt, Infinity Ward knows how to make cinematic wartime shooters better than anyone else. Just like the 'original' (and we use that term in the loosest sense of the word), it's epic, bombastic, thrilling, exceptionally polished, well-realised and by the end of the 27 missions (over three campaigns, again) it's every bit as entertaining as you'd hope. Not-at-all-shockingly, it's also just as much of a retread as you might fear; maybe that's exactly what you wanted it to be? This is, after all, one of the best-selling styles of game in the world, and tinkering with successful formulas isn't something that billion-dollar publishers are renowned for.

So, what does it improve upon? Lots of things in lots of incremental ways; that is to say the visuals, the audio and a few tweaks to your mission goals, but nothing that changes the gameplay to any great extent. During E3, Infinity Ward went to great lengths to explain how it had improved the AI and the degree of freedom offered to players, adding how much more convincing and immersive the whole experience was. But perhaps the most significant changes have been the little things; for example, the controversial decision to remove health-packs and the quick-save function - regular staples of almost every FPS since id drew up The Rules in 1992.

Diplomatic immunity (to bullets)

Slightly bizarrely, CoD2 has no health status bar, and at no stage will you ever encounter one of those 'oh-so-handily-placed' medipacks to patch up your shredded torso. In a Halo-meets-The Getaway system of recharging health, if you cop some flak, or take a bullet between your eyes, it's not a problem. You can simply wipe the blood from your eyes, breathe deeply for a few seconds and all is well again. It's ludicrous, incredibly unrealistic, and almost farcical when you consider how much lead you'll withstand during the course of just a few minutes on the battlefield, but in the context of it being an entertaining videogame, it keeps things flowing like almost no other FPS.

As a result of this cheating approach to health, you're the Terminator of the fight against the Nazis, and can often last entire levels without dying by simply running off for a quiet breather between being shot. Copped a face full of grenade shards? Been caught in the nads by a stray bullet? Had your hand shot off? No problem, just hide in a quiet corner and it'll all be okay.

But, mocking aside, it's actually quite a good idea in practice, because - for once - you're not forced to rely on hitting the wretched quick-save key to bail you out of those tight spots (or to negotiate a woefully-judged difficulty spike, more like). It's actually far more enjoyable - and therefore more immersive - to play the game as part of a flowing set of actions than constantly saving, re-loading and replaying small sections while you work out which set of pixels the sniper's bullets are emanating from. It's a much fairer game because of it, and actually checkpoints your progress at very regular intervals anyway. Even if you do get a bit gung-ho, the autosaves are exceptionally well judged, and frustration is kept to a minimum throughout.

The house of funnel

Now scale that. While Germans are shooting you.

As for the much-vaunted other 'improvements', it's highly contentious whether most of them make a significant difference, to be frank. Chief of these is the alleged freedom players are given within each mission to approach them however they see fit. We say 'alleged' because there's no doubt that Call of Duty 2 still funnels the player towards a predetermined resolution just as it - and Medal of Honor - always did, always have done, and probably always will do. On a few (and we're talking about three) notable occasions in the entire game you're given the freedom to tackle objectives in the order of your choosing, but these are generally limited to deciding which building to clear out first. It's not exactly revolutionary in that respect, so don't get too excited.

For the vast majority of the time you'll be doing those old, familiar tasks: clearing bunkers, running in and out of half-demolished houses, taking out emplacements, flanking, planting explosives on moving tanks, crawling through trenches, and killing a whole infantry of Nazis.

Now and then, Call of Duty 2 mixes things up a little, throwing in the odd on-rails section here, and a time-limited sniping foray there. Alongside these familiar interludes is a tank-driving section (short-lived, but fun), as well as a frantic scenario where you must use your binoculars to pinpoint advancing artillery. Nothing radically new or innovative, but certainly welcome in terms of breaking up the run and gun slog.

Chaos engine

The Nazis were renowned for their fondness of cigarettes. A bit of a giveaway, really.

While all of this incendiary chaos is going on, the incredible illusion of an immense battle rages around you - one area Infinity Ward deserves massive credit for, and arguably of one the chief reasons you will want to immerse yourself in The Same Old Battle all over again.

Using a vastly improved engine, literally everything's been overhauled to the extent that - at times - it looks as stunning as anything we've seen on the PC. On a decent set-up, with the detail levels whacked up, and (better still) played out on a big widescreen monitor, there are few games that come close to looking as majestic.

At least once every level, something breathtakingly spectacular happens, like tanks rolling literally over your head, or crawling through a giant metal pipe and being shot at from below, or setting explosive charges on a building and seeing it reduced to rubble, or climbing up a cliff-face while being shot at from above. Cut together (as the intro movie does very nicely), such moments really help elevate the whole cinematic experience to another level. It's these moments that keep dragging your through the game.

Purdy please

Bump map-a-go-go: war has never looked so good.

Even under the closest scrutiny, everything in Call of Duty 2 simply looks more realistic than it ever used to, and it has genuinely almost got to the stage where your degree of immersion and sense of disbelief isn't shattered by technical foibles and borked AI. Whichever angle you look at it, from a visual perspective, it just works. At times it's simply spectacular.

But it's not just the bombastic one-off moments that we liked. One small thing Infinity Ward has used to impressive effect is the use of smoke, which now plays a key part in the heat of battles - just as it should. The team was always good at explosions in previous efforts, but this time has gone one step further by providing players with smoke grenades - meaning you can now set up your own tactical shields to work your way through otherwise impassable blockades. And not only does it make for a thrilling and useful new addition, but it looks fantastic too - expect to see this becoming a standard addition in shooters from now on.

Meanwhile, your squad mates don't just look detailed and realistic, but move with fluidity and with a degree of purpose and intelligence that gives the whole experience a much more convincing feel. For example, you never see soldiers doing dumb things like running repeatedly into walls with their legs still moving anymore. Faced with a low wall, they'll vault it. Faced with an open window, they'll climb through it; the general path-finding is excellent. But it goes further than these little cosmetic animations - your buddies actually respond to your initiative. Should you decide to brave an enemy-packed house or bunker, they'll wait tentatively outside, each taking the best position they can manage. As soon as enemies start pouring out, they'll instantly react, and prove to be an effective accompaniment, joining you inside and taking the stragglers out for you.

Say what?

Everyone should wear knee-high socks.

All the while, they'll bark instructions and updates regarding enemy positions, but never the same stock phrases like most games. A lot of the time you won't even be able to hear them over the din of gunfire, grenades and mortar shells, but that's undoubtedly what these men faced in these immensely challenging conditions. It's an assault on your senses.

Meanwhile, enemies won't just stand there and get shot either, but take evasive action of their own when things are going against them. They'll use the environment to their advantage, finding cover when needed, and also take every opportunity to try and flush you from your cover points out with aggressive tactics of their own. It's one thing being able to outflank enemies and lob cooked grenades at their feet, but when it happens to you on a regular basis, it makes for some thrilling and unique encounters.

It's not always so thrilling, though - especially on the Regular difficulty. Much like Quake 4, you're far better off ignoring the first two insultingly easy skill levels, or else you'll romp through the entire single-player game in less than a day. For the record, there's nothing really that satisfying about wiping out an enemy if all they do is rush towards you. The latter difficulty settings don't really solve that issue, though (as ever, it's more of a health-related challenge than anything that intrinsically alters the game), but you'll spend a lot more time peeking out and taking your chances than you will in the easier settings. Be warned: if you want to get the most out of Call of Duty 2, do yourself a favour and make it challenging.

Who are you, again?

Truly the best shadows we've ever seen. Geeky, but true.

Another slight minus point about Call of Duty 2 is the complete lack of attachment you'll feel to any of your squad buddies. They're replaceable cannon fodder, and although they work with you, there's always an invisible regeneration going on behind the scenes to make sure that your buddy AI contingent are replenished once they're required. You won't really care when they die, either, and it never counts against you.

Unlike the more progressive Brothers In Arms, it's just you against the Nazi war machine. There's literally no squad management whatsoever, not even a sniff of it, and everyone just goes about their convincing-looking business without you. As enjoyable as it is, as immersive as some of the sections are, it's unquestionably a sub-genre that's so done to death that we need a little bit more than a bunch of sub-objectives and a wonderful engine to really get us excited. We know the start, the middle and the ending, and it's a genre so stale that even the mould has got bored with it. But maybe that's a problem unique to the likes of us that have stuck with the genre ever since it emerged. If you're new to this style of game, we'll say this: lucky you.

So, once you've romped through the freezing Russian campaign, licked the Brit battles against the Afrika Corps, and fought them on the French beaches as the Yanks, what's left? It's certainly not the longest of games, that's for sure, clocking in at around 10 hours (or more, difficulty dependent). Multiplayer mayhem is assured, though, if you're fond of being shot on the online battlefield.

Looking cool. Literally.

The old standards make their perennial appearance, so yes, that means Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag modes, in addition to the defend or attack premise of Search and Destroy, and the new Headquarters mode - each with a whole array of settings to customise at your leisure. The latter team-based mode doubtlessly needs a little more explanation; the idea here is to set up and control your HQ in one of two randomly designated areas on a map, with the general idea being to score more points than the opposition. To do so means trying to over-run the opposition to stop them racking up points, and once you've succeeded (or not), the HQ points spawn elsewhere and the whole thing starts over. Definitely worth investigating out of all the modes for its unpredictability - which can't really be said for all the other well-worn staples.

So, here we are. It's that time of year again, it's that bloody war again, and yet somehow we're not cursing with utter boredom. Despite the crushing familiarity of the subject matter, and the game-by-numbers formulaic approach, Call of Duty 2 succeeds in just about enough areas, and moves things forward enough of an increment to make it appeal to even those of us that are completely exasperated with the ongoing WW2 obsession.

Justified cynicism aside, Infinity Ward's latest effort unquestionably refines the cinematic World War II shooter genre to new giddy heights of bombastic brilliance. Taken in isolation, it's a thrilling demonstration of how far the genre has come in delivering compelling combat and wrapping that in the most cinematic and immersive fashion we've seen. If only Infinity Ward wasn't so content to trip on the bootlaces of its own lack of gameplay ambition we'd be more excited.

High Speed rail lines making a loss

Ermukotrenbideak Flickr

According to a new report released today by the Spanish Foundation for the Studies of Applied Economics (Fedea), none of Spain’s high speed AVE train lines are making a profit. The report claims that the huge investments made by the government that run to billions of euros are “neither beneficial to businesses or society” and don’t compensate for savings made in flights or driving time.

Spain currently has more than 2,515 kilometres of AVE rail lines, with another 1,200 kilometres being built at the moment – this is one of the most extensive rail systems on the planet, but Spain currently has a relatively low demand for high speed rail travel.

The report determines that in Spain there were only 11,800 passengers for every kilometre of AVE line in Spain, compared to 158,121 passengers per kilometre in Japan, reflecting the much higher train usage in the Asian economic superpower. The report goes on to say that although numbers of train passengers are projected to increase rapidly in the next five years, only an increase in ticket prices to customers will recover the cost of investment.

UK growth in Nov a little higher than expected, but manufacturing suffers

Published date: 11/01/2019

Focus this morning has been on the UK growth figures for Nov, in which we have seen GDP rising a little more than the 0.1% expected - printing 0.2% for the month.  Going into the data, GBP was under pressure with focus on Cable trying to break the tentative support seen in the 1.2700-20 area - which holds for now.

Looking at the rest of the data metrics, we also saw manufacturing taking a hit on all fronts, with industrial production as a whole down 0.4% against a rise of 0.3% expected, while the trade deficit also widened to show the global balance of trade at -£12.02bln - out from a revised -£11.95bln in Oct.  Naturally, there is every reason to believe the Brexit congestion holding back investment and orders is having a clear negative impact, so traders are still waiting for a breakthrough in Parliament as we edge ever closer to the key meaningful vote next week.

On this, MPs across the House are largely in unison in looking to avoid a hard Brexit, but just how this is to come about is the big question and until there is any sign that one or other of the many options will be considered - including a second referendum - GBP will remain on the back foot.

EUR/GBP is once again pushing the highs towards 0.9100 again where we have seen strong resistance.  This stretches up into the 0.9165-75 area, though we note much stronger levels into the mid 0.9200's if indeed we get this far.

Apple Rumor Site to Shut Down

The settlement with Apple leads to the closure of

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters)—Apple Inc and a popular Web site that published company secrets about the maker of the Mac computer, the iPhone and the iPod have reached a settlement that calls for the site to shut down.

Apple and the site,, settled the suit, which Apple filed in January 2005, and no sources were revealed, Apple and ThinkSecret said in statements.

College student Nick Ciarelli, ThinkSecrets publisher, said he plans to move on. He started the site at 13.

"Im pleased to have reached this amicable settlement, and will now be able to move forward with my college studies and broader journalistic pursuits," he said in his statement.

Cupertino, California-based Apple filed its suit after ThinkSecret published details of a stripped-down Macintosh computer called the Mac mini two weeks before the product was launched formally.

"We are pleased to have reached this amicable settlement and happy to have this behind us," an Apple spokesman said.

  • continue from previous post...but the first of many questions is does FCC give newbies any guidance as we begin...don't know anything about logs, electronic or otherwise and so on. I'm reading everything I can get my eyes on through the internet but still would need a mentor perhaps because certainly there are questions I don't even know to ask. Any words you have for me I'm listening. Thank you.

    They do not teach you how to do your job. That sounds a little strong, but consider this, you hire mechanics to fix your vehicle, plumbers to repair a leak, electricians to repair your circuitry, etc. In each of these instances, you specify the results you expect but do not teach the professional how to perform the required tasks. Neither does FCC.
    There are many great tutorials on YouTube. Pre-trip inspections, log book preparation, either on paper or electronically with the ELD. The ELD will be easier if you just follow instructions. I think that the majority of truck owners initially started driving for a truck owner that teamed him/her up with an experienced driver.
    . During this time you can learn everything you need to know about the type of truck that will be beneficial for you, particularly if you plan to buy a used truck. Expediter Services that advertises on EO has helped many folks learn the business. They are always hiring to keep their 150 or so expediter straight trucks moving Good luck with your choices here.
    Just noticed you have lots of history with FedEx CC.... I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with here we go, I know you're going to think I'm some kind of nut (and maybe I am), but I know nothing about the trucking business but want to jump in and buy a 22' truck and get on the road. I just passed CDL B and medical and taking driving test this Saturday.
    Are you currently looking for drivers?
    I have 7.5 years with FedEx Ground and Home Delivery and currently contract with First Choice in mid Missouri.
    You can reach me at
    Bill Edwards here, DR4473. We had dinner together a little over a year ago in St. Louis. I did not want to call and bother you on a Sunday. So this is a request for a phone call from you when you are not busy.
    Good luck to you two. We wish you the success in your new endeavor Terry. You both are thought of as icons in the expediting world. We hope you continue to contribute to EO, your experience in the business is invaluable.

    Joe and Nancy McBride
    Terry, I talked with you over the phone and live just around the corner from you. I lost your number, can you call me again. I would like to come and talk with you. Also I would like to get Caffee's number if possible.

    636 379 2332 Thanks, PEnny Alexander

    Would you mind if I posted here what you did at Expedite Expo 2003? Remember the Police and everything? :)
    How the heck did we lose all of our friends? I wish we would get a warning when the softeware is going to change jeez

But when they leave the organisation , they should return the iPad , but able to carry the paid apps and install on their iPads they wish.

Please let me know a best way of setting up this.

Any help will be great and thanks in advance.

Become a Certified Penetration Testing Engineer

This CPTE Certified Penetration Testing Engineer course covers everything you need to know about becoming a Certified Penetration Testing Engineer. Career Path: Professional roles include Ethical Hackers, Security Consultants, System Administrators, and Chief Security Officers.

Using MacBook Pro (late 2011) 2.4GHi7 w 16GB mem 750GB HD partitioned 430GB Mac (42GB avail)/ 231GB Win (31GB avail) Journaled HFS+;
  running High Sierra v10.13.2 w Parallels Desktop 14 for Mac Pro v14.0.1
  Using 2 Airport Time Capsules 4th Gen v7.6.9, 3TB ea formatted AFP (the one being used for backup through Time Machine reports 923GB free through Disk InventoryX app)
  Time Capsules run under Airport Extreme 5th Gen v7.6.9.

Backups through Time Machine > Time Capsule are taking 6+ days (not sure of exact time; I'm having to cancel them).

Ran a few tests (under only MacOS; Windows not booted; Parallels not running); Wi-Fi turned off; Time Capsule connected to MBP via ethernet; running no other apps at time:

Test 1:  dragged 1.0 GB app file from MBP HD to Time Capsule to check write rate  RESULT:  Took over 25 minutes (approx 0.7 MB/s)
Test 2:  ran LAN_Speed Test to Time Capsule with 100MB packet size RESULT:  1.4 Mbps writing to TC, 1.7 Mbps reading from TC

Given the specs on the MBP and TC (1Gps ethernet port) the data transfer rates are excessively slow.

What can I do to fix this?  I can't leave my MBP tethered via ethernet to the Time Capsule for over a week to do a backup (need to take it to work daily).
i can only login to my macbook on safe mode only not when how i does log in normally. i removed the mac from the domain and re-add and its still not working.

please help
I would like to find a way where I can screen share from MacBook to 22x iMacs.
We are running a medical imaging course and it would be beneficial for the delegates to see the slides and content that is being shown by the presenter on a MacBook on the podium up close on the iMacs which each delegate will have in front of them. They will be using software on them later in the day.

I know I could use the native OSX screen sharing software but I wonder if it has limitations when trying to share to 22x iMacs simultaneously?

I presume to maintain performance that an ethernet/switch setup is best rather than attempting a Wi-Fi router.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
Mac OSX question

I have a large library of digital media. Most of it is kept "offline" but the library software I use (Plex) uses media files to build the library and so I need to use placeholder files.

Using 30 second "this file is archived" videos I can easily catalog offline movies in Plex. I "rsync" the directory structure without files and then "do cp" a placeholder into each movie directory and rename using the parent folder name.

For TV shows this isn't practical as there can be hundreds of episodes per show. I would like to know if there is a way to duplicate the folder/file structure of a tv show, with many episodes under a single folder, using the same placeholder file.

To reiterate, the ultimate goal is to take a placeholder file eg. "placeholder720p.mkv" and use this file to recreate the source directory with the same filenames. So in the end I will have a folder that looks identical to the source, but consists of this placeholder file duplicated over and over. Also, there are non-alphanumeric characters and spaces in the filenames to be duplicated.
Currently experiencing an issue with access to mapped drives using SMB protocol with a MacBook Pro running High Sierra, we only see this issue with that machine. The problem effects the user when attempting to move or rename a file in on the share, the MacBook becomes hung up, showing only the spinning pin wheel and needs to be completely restarted in order to allow the user to use the computer. I found the article below attempted recommended changes (no resolution) also opened a ticket with apple support and was directed to open a pay per incident ticket because the technician had no insight other then what I performed on the issue other thanking for directing him to apples article and saying that what he recommends I should attempt.

Here are two Macs running macOS 10.13 in a WLAN, sharing a freshly installed QNAP NAS box for SMB file storage and Time Machine. While Mac A is behaving perfectly normal, Mac B can't see any of the services on the NAS: neither the SMB shares nor the Time Machine show up. Pinging the QNAP works, though.
Plug in an Ethernet cable in Mac B and all is fine, just like Mac A.

I've checked just about anything about the WLAN I can think of: firewall and misc. TCP/IP settings, DHCP, duplicate addresses, ARP and DNS caches, VLANs, 802.1X etc. - to no avail. Why in the world can Mac B ping the QNAP box but not see any of its services? Why is only WLAN impaired, why does the cable work?

Quite bizarre. Any suggestions what else I could check? I'm just one step from re-installing macOS ...
Hi I am currently using a mac mini with MacOS Sierra 10.12. It also has macOS server 5.2.
I can't get the service to start, when I flick the switch it will try to start the service but it won't start.
I am getting at the service helper log the following error NSLocalizeddescription = Carbon error -25304
My last post on here detailed a problem with favourites disappearing from the sidebar.  I got several very detailed and helpful answers, the main gist of these being move away from the Apple version of Samba to a less buggy version.

Before I undertake this I thought I'd pose an alternative question, that being is there anything like mapped network drives on the MAC?  This is what we are using the favourites for, to point at shared folders on a Windows 7 PC acting as a file server.
We have a QNAP on our network which we access via AFP with Mac computers.

Recently we have had a dialogue box pop up:

Message From Server
Something wrong with the volume's CNID DB, using temporary CNID DB instead. Check server messages for details!

Coinciding with this message, we have been unable to view a certain folder via AFP (but can seem to see it via SMB).

From this message I think the CNID database the Mac machines use to access the AFP share may be corrupted but have no idea on how to refresh it or rebuild. We are no longer using this device for TimeMachine backups (as other forum posts have pointed at)

The inaccessible files/folders have since been downloaded locally to machines but we need to fix this as soon as we can, knowing any other folders and documents will not disappear as this one has.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you,
