![]() Yet, when someone asked how I was doing, I always responded with “I’m fine,” knowing well that I wasn’t.Įver since I started sports, I was asked by everyone to push through mental and physical obstacles. ![]() for weights, went straight from hourlong classes to a five-hour practice, barely found time to eat and sleep and hardly kept up with the increasing pressures of college sports. Standing in the lion’s den of public criticism, she’s bravely showing us that it’s okay to not be okay, that we can take our power back and do whatever it is we need to do to survive.Īnyone who wants to judge that, for her or any other survivor, can really just fuck straight off.I woke up at 4:30 a.m. To the millions of assault survivors out there struggling to make sense of themselves and life, who shy from trust and love, who carry burdens of unearned shame and pain, and who are afraid to say so, Simone Biles is a goddamn hero. You perpetuate the same bullshit that keeps abusers from justice and victims from speaking. If you are one of those people who’ve lashed out against Biles, you, not her, are the problem. They’re judging all survivors who can read and hear, and those words cut awfully deep. ![]() People who call her a quitter, who criticize how she chooses to survive don’t realize that they’re not just judging her, some fallen hero that didn’t live up to their God-like expectations. People are quick to criticize the need to care for herself now, but where are the extra accolades for those insane accomplishments amidst the assault, depression, anxiety and insecurity? She was 16 years old when she won her first major U.S. I dare you to think of how many brilliant minds and amazing talents were assaulted and stopped in their tracks long before they could realize their greatness. And the real fucked up part is that despite her overwhelming and indisputable talent, she is not unique in her part as a victim or survivor - she’s just experiencing that very familiar pain out loud in the public eye, because she has no choice. She was just a child, like so many other victims of sexual assault, just an innocent and beautiful child marked for greatness. So, instead of compassion and empathy, the most insecure segments of our society vilified her for having the audacity to be a human in pain. Yes, even the fittest and strongest among us can be taken down by trauma, and that is a super uncomfortable reality for many people to face. She had quietly suffered for years and pushed through, determined not to let Nasser take everything from her, until it took a physical toll on her body. Simone Biles competes at the 2016 Olympic games in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. People are sitting on couches at this very moment, shoveling fast food down their gullets as they fanatically peck out insults against a young woman who worked her ass off every single day to become one of the greatest gymnasts to walk, jump and vault across the face of this earth. Our society failed her with our callous judgments, victim blaming tendencies, ridiculously unrealistic expectations and endless crap we project onto others. Nasser served as the USA Gymnastics team doctor for 18 years! Tell me, how the hell is it possible that nobody noticed and stopped a man who molested and sometimes drugged potentially hundreds of girls over the course of nearly two decades? That, there, is the root of the problem - we sacrifice victims because it’s too inconvenient to protect them. The FBI failed to act, as did hordes of others who knew something was very wrong and consciously chose to look the other way. Victim after victim ignored, dismissed and blamed for so fucking long just reinforced that speaking up was futile, that her personal pain would only worsen out in the light of day. Case after case of abusers walking free let Larry Nasser believe he could get away with taking what was never his. The justice system failed her long before she earned the unfortunate “survivor” badge. all wrapped in and entrusted to the red, white and blue - yet, it was that same country that let her and so many others down when they needed us most. She was expected to compete for the pride of the U.S.A. Let’s be clear: She did not fail us we failed her. The first thing we need to address is the bullshit notion that Biles somehow failed her team or her country - hell, people act as if she personally failed them. I’m temporarily taking off the news hat to have an absolute fit about this, so please stop reading now if the topic is triggering or offensive. I had other stories I planned to finish writing today, but those plans came to a screeching halt when I paused to check in on the newsfeed.īuzz surrounding the Simone Biles New York Magazine interview is still strong the day after it ran, but so is criticism of Biles herself, and that, as it turns out, is just too much to ignore. 1535 Shares Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

It’s not been a “from scratch” kind of thing. It’s been a lot of work making support for multiple games for RAGE Plugin Hook, and we actually started working on multi game support before Red Dead Redemption 2 was even announced for the PC. If you’re not a developer, you can stop reading now, unless you’re interested in technical and development stuff. NOTE: There’s currently an issue where the game will crash if you attempt to load a save. NOTE: If you plan on using the console or developing, we recommend running the game in borderless mode! Use the LoadPlugin command to load plugins. Here you can type various commands, like SetTimeOfDay, SetWeather, TeleportToPosition, TeleportToWaypoint, etc. Once the game has fully loaded with RAGE Plugin Hook, you can press F5 (by default) to open the console. On the first run, you can choose whether to load all plugins, specific plugins, or none. Plugins are installed into the “C#Plugins” folder. Using RAGE Plugin Hook for non-developers We also have some stuff to announce about Max Payne 3 at some point in the future □ Well, that time has now come, and a preliminary version of RAGE Plugin Hook is now available for Red Dead Redemption 2. And at the time, we decided to scrap the Max Payne 3 part, and focus on just GTA V, with the hopes that in the future, we’d be able to support multiple games as originally intended. We started working on RAGE Plugin Hook before GTA V was released, and the original internal hook was made for Max Payne 3 as it was the closest thing we had to GTA V to prepare.īut when GTA V came out, the engine had changed quite a lot, and more importantly, GTA V was 64-bit, while Max Payne 3 was 32-bit. That was the original idea behind the name. RAGE Plugin Hook, as the name suggests, hooks into RAGE engine (Rockstar Advanced Game Engine) based games and allows developers to write plugins for the games in C#, VB.NET or any other. Develop modifications for Red Dead Redemption 2 in your favorite. ![]() In case you need to use a cleaner but don't have one installed, the only things you need to use CCleaner Cloud are an Internet connection and a browser. It's always advisable to have a maintenance tool installed, as you never know what might happen to your system. CCleaner Cloud will help you to get rid of possible threats to your system remotely, via your web browser. Now, as if all that weren't enough, CCleaner is available in the cloud, allowing you to work with multiple computers simultaneously without the need to install anything. Thanks to its varied and efficient features, it's only logical that it ranks quite highly among the world's most-used cleaning tools. Ransomware is becoming a troubling trend, and if hackers are able to infect infect update servers they can spread malware to as many machines as possible.CCleaner is probably the world's most famous cleaning tool and the one Windows users turn to most to solve their space and performance problems. For example, earlier this year, it was found that a breach at Ukranian software company MeDoc was responsible for the NotPetya ransomware. While Avast got in front of the issue and resolved it without incident, smaller companies might not be able to react so quickly. ![]() The impact on you at home: While personal users within the target area shouldn’t see any impact from this attempted attack, it’s still a scary notion. If you’re affected, Cisco Talos recommends using a backup to restore your PC to a state prior to August 15, 2017, which is when the hacked version was released. You’ll also want to perform an antivirus scan on your computer. Previous releases are also still available on the company’s website, but the infected version has been removed from the company’s servers. ![]() Personal users can download CCleaner 5.34 from Avast’s website if they haven’t already done so. Cisco Talos suspects the attackers planned to use the malware to conduct industrial espionage. “Given that the logs were only collected for little over three days, the actual number of computers that received the 2nd stage payload was likely at least in the order of hundreds,” Avast says.Ĭisco Talos also studied the malware’s command server and reports that it was attempting to infiltrate PCs in technology organizations, including Intel, Samsung, HTC, VMWare, Cisco itself, and others. Update: On September 21, Avast revealed that the malware was designed to deliver a second-stage payload to infected computers in specific organizations, and at least 20 machines across eight companies contacted the command and control server. The intent of the attack is unclear at this time, though Avast says the code was able to collect information about the local system. Most reassuringly, Yung states that Avast was seemingly able to disarm the threat before it was able to do any harm. Additionally, the company is moving all users to the latest version of the software, which is already available on the company’s website (though the release notes only mention “minor big fixes.”) He also says Piriform has shut down the hackers’ access to other servers. Yung assures customers that the threat has been resolved and the “rogue server” has been taken down. 13, Cisco Talos found that the official download of the free versions of CCleaner 5.33 and CCleaner Cloud also contained “a malicious payload that featured a Domain Generation Algorithm as well as hardcoded Command and Control functionality.” What that means is that a hacker infiltrated Avast Piriform’s official build somewhere in the development process build to plant malware designed to steal users’ data. 21 with details about the malware targeting specific technology companies for industrial espionage. In an in-depth probe of the popular optimization and scrubbing software, Cisco Talos has discovered a malicious bit of code injected by hackers that could have affected more than 2 million users who downloaded the most recent update.Įditor’s note: This article was first published on September 18, 2017, but was updated on Sept. It seems that CCleaner, one of PCWorld’s recommendations for the best free software for new PCs, might not have been keeping your PC so clean after all. ![]() Just this section alone can add a zero or more to your VSL revenue.

The game’s fixed camera and adventure game trappings felt like a throwback to old school psychological horror games like Alone in the Dark, in which one’s attention to detail and puzzle-solving skills are more important than quick reflexes. I was tasked with finding Jack’s favorite tie clip in order to prep him for his funeral, with a brief side-trip to feed the meowing cat strolling around the apartment (achievement unlocked!).Īs I explored the apartment that Jack and Marianne shared, it became clear that The Medium is the type of game that greatly rewards the curious, as the news clippings and letters I found throughout the apartment immediately helped to build the game’s world and expand its deepening lore. The line was delivered by Marianne, the titular medium who has returned to her home in Krakow to bury her foster father Jack, who conveniently owns a funeral home. “It all starts with a dead girl…” was the first spoken line of the game, accompanied by a scene of a girl running through the woods while being chased by an unseen pursuer. Each of these games has a central theme that drives its creative and technological design and The Medium continues that tradition with a mechanic the team is calling “dual reality gameplay.” I recently had the chance to play the first few hours of The Medium and found it to be a wholly unique experience that I can’t wait to explore more. Bloober Team has made its name with well-received and envelope-pushing horror games, including Observer, Layers of Fear, and Blair Witch.

The post begins with a list of upcoming PlayStation 5 physical game releases and afterwards I’ve included a complete list of all games in alphabetical order (this list includes all games already released as well as those coming soon). This post will be maintained and updated often, usually at least once per month. Digital only releases are not included as this list is meant for physical game collectors. The following is a comprehensive list of all physical PlayStation 5 game releases already in stores or available for pre-order. ![]() The choreography of the show, its costume and design, are more memorable than its speech and plot. Then we are at a morale-raising stage show, with scantily-clad showgirls and a whirling soldier in drag (Jesse Korvasky) which has its own undertow of gay desire and menace when Grace is near-assaulted. Then the characters are at war or experiencing it. Prejudice is periodically leveled at Grace a family prepares to say goodbye to a son a dance-hall hosts a farewell to the young Hoboken men a son says goodbye to his mother. Blackboards showed complex mathematical formulae. We held rubber tubes aloft as if it was a party canopy, and then another vista opened up with soldiers going through something frightful in a shower unit, who are suddenly stripped and screaming. At the blood drive, I was asked, non-intrusively, about my sex life and mental state. You may end up at a blood drive (or training drill, your choice). With an ingenious use of black plastic curtains, the audience is guided to unfolding scenes, while other scenes are set up, extremely quietly, out of sight. The night I saw it, people were nervous about being singled out, but there is no cruelty, and nothing too embarrassing. World War II may be being fought around you, but expect the occasional “sorry” to be whispered as a foot is stepped on. The structure of Seeing You is more fixed, and you are guided more deliberately through the action than the freewheeling Sleep No More, although you must still watch your feet as the characters careen around you, and your fellow attendees drift around you. The show is as much ballet and drama, and Desi Santiago’s design is stunning, just as it was with the costumes and masks he created for Savage Beauty, the Alexander McQueen exhibition that showed at the Met in New York and the V&A in London, and one of the best fashion exhibits of the last decade. We see a group of male soldiers messing around in a restroom, an unexpected sexual frisson suddenly present. (Our answers return very directly to us at the end of the show.) Russell, anti-Japanese, wants to elicit as much ill-feeling as he can towards Grace. You can choose your own experience in the opening minutes, until the moment you are shepherded to listen to Congressman Lloyd Russell (Ted Hannan), who asks the audience a deep and framing question about the morality of war. The excellent performers-Lauren Cox, Aaron Dalla Villa, Christopher Grant, Alison Ingelstrom, Maija Knapp, Jodi McFadden, Zach McNally, Whitney Sprayberry, Jay Stuart-own whichever space they are in, happy and sad, tortured or wistful, pugnacious or scared mid-movement they may suddenly collapse, or drop their heads, as if they are having a stroke or a heart attack. ![]() Ghostly 1940s-music wafts through the venue, and a sense of menace and dislocation-how war is an aberration in every sense-is signaled by warpings in the music. (The production could not supply a script or story breakdown, or answer my questions about various characters.) A Japanese woman, Grace (Eriko Jimbo) shouts desperately into a telephone. In the atmospheric and tantalizingly staged Seeing You, it is the eve of war in Hoboken, New Jersey, and as you walk in you can see various spotlit dramatic tableaux: an official-looking lady fussing over papers on a desk, two sets of heterosexual couples having, variously, vexed conversations (about him leaving to go and fight in the war), and a little light passion. It is the creation of Randy Weiner and choreographer Ryan Heffington Weiner is a producer of Sleep No More and the creator of Queen of the Night, which featured, as the Daily Beast’s Nina Strochlic reported in 2014, “Chinese acrobats, wild dancers, and a Bacchanalian feast.” The multi-talented Heffington choreographed Sia’s “Chandelier,” among many other inventive delights. The action takes place in a huge space on one, ground floor, level. You may find a male soldier suddenly stripped to a pair of tighty whities, crying and distressed, lurching towards you. ![]() However you feel about personal space, and how familiar you want actors and other strangers to be with you, will determine your enjoyment threshold of such theater.Īt Seeing You, which has just begun life under the High Line’s 14th Street entry and exit point in New York City’s Meatpacking District, prepare to be right in the middle of the dancing, speeches, shouting, singing, and fighting. There are many variations on “immersive theater,” running the gamut of “kind of sitting in the action and having an actor perch on your chair” ( Natasha, Pierre, & The Great Comet of 1812) to “Oh no, there’s a crazy witch running at me, and I was trying to follow that nurse” ( Sleep No More) to “I am definitely being inappropriately assaulted by a zombie” (various Halloween theatrics). ![]() The cookie is set by the GDPR Cookie Consent plugin and is used to store whether or not user has consented to the use of cookies.

More physicians align with large health systems as the independent private practice model erodes.New contracting models and alliances that shift greater financial risk to providers also are emerging in the market. Bay Area health care costs remain among the highest statewide, creating interest in the adoption of population health strategies long used by Kaiser that stress prevention and care coordination to avoid costly hospital stays. High health care costs and competition among large systems prompt interest in population health management.The region, defined in this study as the five counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara, has experienced a number of changes since the previous study in 2015–16. Despite the region’s relative affluence, more than one in five residents are covered by Medi-Cal or uninsured, and county-based safety-net health systems and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) play critical roles in providing access to care for vulnerable populations, including the growing number of people experiencing homelessness. In response to the region’s high health care costs and employer requests for affordable, high-value options, new models and contracting structures are emerging in the Bay Area, including providers contracting directly with employers. At the same time, smaller systems, such as John Muir Health and El Camino Health, play key roles in geographic submarkets, making them attractive partners for the larger systems seeking to expand market share. ![]() Over the past 20 years, the Bay Area health care market has consolidated and, as a result, is dominated by four systems: Kaiser Sutter Health University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Health and Stanford Health Care. Health care systems in the San Francisco Bay Area - which is healthier, wealthier, and has higher rates of insurance, on average, than the rest of California - continue to focus on building regional networks to support population health strategies and compete with market leader Kaiser Permanente. The markets included in the 2020 release - Humboldt/Del Norte, Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco Bay Area, and the San Joaquin Valley - reflect a range of economic, demographic, care delivery, and financing conditions in California.

The ships’ technical details are itemized in the second half of the book which also includes sketches of ships’ internal layouts and armor and changes in appearance over time. This book includes both design and operational histories, the latter continuing down to the end of ships’ service after the fall of Imperial Germany, and it is accompanied by an extensive selection of many rare photographs. Arranged in a chronological narrative, these include corvettes, avisos, sloops, torpedo cruisers, III- and IV-class cruisers, and small cruisers. The Kaiser's Cruisers, 1871–1918 covers the full range of cruising vessels operated or ordered by the Imperial German Navy between 18, excluding the battlecruisers, previously covered by the author’s companion volume The Kaiser’s Battlefleet. ![]() ![]() *This report was commissioned by Avast, however, AV-Comparatives’ anti-phishing test of all products was carried out impartially and under identical conditions.
