“We remain committed to being good stewards on the mountain and inclusive of the Hawaiian community,” he said. The observatory issued a statement on Tuesday from Henry Yang, chairman of its board of governors and chancellor of the University of California, Santa Barbara, thanking the telescope’s supporters. Three years ago, the state’s Supreme Court invalidated a previous construction permit on the grounds that the opponents had been deprived of due process because a state board had granted the permit before the opponents could be heard in a so-called contested case hearing.Īt the time, the TMT astronomers said they would build their telescope in the Canary Islands if denied in Hawaii, setting a deadline of last April.Ī spokeswoman for the TMT collaboration said nothing would happen right away on the mountaintop, and that it would take time to coordinate with the mayor and the state. Technology but also including Japan, China, India and Canada at an estimated cost of $2 Observatory, spearheaded by the University of California and the California Institute of The telescope would be built by an international collaboration called the TMT International Mauna Kea is considered “ceded land” that belonged to the Hawaiian kingdom, and some Hawaiians have contended that the spate of telescope construction on the volcano’s mountaintop has interfered with cultural and religious practices. Some of them went so far as to block construction vehicles from the mountain to prevent work on the telescope. Hawaiian activists have opposed it, saying that decades of telescopebuilding on Mauna Kea have polluted the mountain. The Thirty Meter Telescope, as it is known, would be the largest ever contemplated in the Northern Hemisphere. (Release ID: 1671685) Visitor Counter : 3467After years of hearings and litigation, the Supreme Court of Hawaii on Tuesday approved a building permit for a giant telescope on the ancient, contested site of the volcano Mauna Kea. Andrez Ghez, is expected to provide facilities with even greater capabilities to gather the observations needed to answer new and emerging questions in astronomy and physics in general. The Thirty Meter Telescope, which seeks to advance scientific knowledge while fostering connection among the partner countries and their citizens, and in which Indian astronomers worked closely with Prof. The scientists highlighted the necessity of an advanced data management system and data reduction pipeline.Īnother such collaborative publication in the journal Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics in 2015 has underlined versatile usage for future multi-messenger astronomy for various Galactic and extra-galactic objects using TMT includes many other Indian astronomers as a part of larger team along with Prof. It showed the capabilities of IRIS/TMT to continue front-line scientific research in the near future to understand the nature of the supermassive compact object at the centre of our Galaxy and many more new aspects to discover "unknown-unknowns". The latest end-to-end data simulator on Solar System bodies, the Galactic center, energetic transient objects, active galactic nuclei, and distant gravitationally-lensed galaxies were used. The scientific prospects and simulations by the first generation instrument for the TMT called the Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS), were described in one of the SPIE proceedings in 2016. ![]() It had resulted in two significant papers, among many others.

Shashi Bhushan Pandey, a scientist at Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES) along with many others collaborated with Prof. Annapurni Subramanium, Director of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) and Dr. ![]() ![]() The Thirty-meter telescope (TMT) project is an international partnership between CalTech, Universities of California, Canada, Japan, China, and India through the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and Department of Atomic Energy (DAE). She was part of the team working towards evaluating possible front-line science cases and instrumentation for TMT utilizing associated front-line cutting edge technologies like adaptive optics. Ghez was deeply involved in the development of the related instrumentation and possible science prospects for the TMT, the next-generation observatory. Reinhard Genzel for which they shared the Nobel prize in physics, Prof. Ghez’s remarkable contribution in the discovery of a super massive compact object at the center of our Galaxy along with Prof. Andrea Ghez had worked closely with Indian astronomers on the design of back-end instruments and possible science prospects of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project being installed at Maunakea in Hawaii, which can revolutionized the understanding of the universe and the enigmas in it.īesides, Prof. ![]() Other glitch group members have advocated snipping off part of the coupons’ fine print, or even the products pictured on the coupons, in order to help sneak them past unsuspecting cashiers. “I just got toilet paper and some other stuff, mixed the coupons in with others, and they scanned,” she continued. “$5 off Crest Whitestrips works on this,” one member of a Facebook “glitch group” posted recently, alongside a photo of several giant packs of Charmin toilet paper. So when checking out with the help of an inattentive cashier or a self-checkout machine, they could use the high-value coupons to get loads of Crest toothpaste, Charmin toilet paper, or other P&G products for free – with overage, to help cover the cost of the rest of their purchases. Later, bold red lettering was added to the coupons to get cashiers’ attention, imploring them to check whether the coupons were being used on the correct products.īut none of it stopped the misuse, because glitchers found that Whitestrips coupons would scan just fine on just about any P&G product. So P&G added the exclusion, then added wording banning overage for good measure. Many argued that wasn’t abuse at all, since the coupons didn’t exclude trial-sized products. That often resulted in significant overage, at stores that give cash back if the value of a coupon exceeds the price of a product. But some couponers who specialize in seeking out so-called “glitches” started abusing them almost immediately.įirst, they found that the high-value coupons would be accepted by their stores’ scanners when they bought a lower-priced trial-sized Whitestrips product. Whitestrips are pretty pricey, so their introduction in 2001 was accompanied by correspondingly high-value coupons – offering $3, $7 and even as high as $10 off at times. That means its coupons will no longer scan correctly at the checkout unless you actually purchase Whitestrips.Īnd coupon “glitchers” who have long taken advantage of the Whitestrips coupons are not happy about the change. Now the Whitestrips product line has its own unique manufacturer ID, distinct from most other P&G products. Procter & Gamble has changed the bar codes on both the coupons and product packaging for Crest 3D White Whitestrips. ![]() Just the way coupons are supposed to work. But now, what was arguably the most famously and frequently misused coupon can only be used on the product for which it was intended. It cost a major manufacturer millions of dollars, and earned countless couponers shelves full of trial-sized toothpaste and toilet paper. ![]() ![]() There’s looting, there’s crafting, there’s weapon durability, there’s weapon ranks and armor ranks and ability trees and so on and so on. At first it’s a little mind-numbing being overwhelmed by the amount of systems put in your face to make the numbers go up. This interplays with the resource system, and a strict day-night cycle. Moving around the Old Town brings to mind the highs of early Assassin’s Creed, as the routes from the street to the rooftops gradually become second nature, and a map of the city starts to form in your mind. Far and away the best part of the game is the parkour system. This accounts for a solid 20% of the game, and every second of it sucks.īut it’s not the whole picture. The melee combat system is simplistic beyond all reason, with canned counter attack QTEs that barely punctuate the dull depressing violence of limply swinging your ax until the human being in front of you explodes into meat. ![]() Which raises a very simple question: why? What mechanical or emotional pleasure does Dying Light 2 seek to provide to make it worth players investing weeks if not months of their lives into it? And the answer is multi-faceted, incoherent and more than a little tragic.Ī simple answer would be none, and then we would be done here. There is so much videogame contained within that it could very well be the only videogame you play all year. I chose the side that helped me do parkour.īecause when the bad cutscenes subside, Dying Light 2 is still a videogame. From who? Are there banks? Hello? It’s best not to think about it. The Peacekeepers are an army without a state, so whose order do they bring? Do Survivors, beset by gang wars, not seek order of their own? Hang on a second, this side quest just said a man remortgaged his house. You are repeatedly presented with this choice between “order” and “freedom” as if these two concepts are immutable axioms and not complex terms whose positions require constant negotiation. The Survivors are simply everyone else, not a coherent collective in any meaningful way except the game needed another faction to level up. ![]() The Peacekeepers are a metaphorical stand-in for the US Army, spoken of explicitly by some survivors as occupiers whose presence disrupts their freedom, and by other survivors as cowards whose withdrawal to the core leaves them undefended. Unfortunately, that factional interplay is reduced broadly to a series of rote choices between The Peacekeepers and The Survivors, two of the most poorly defined factions a videogame has ever seen. It is 15 years later, and you must navigate the various factions vying for power in the city while embarking on your own quest to find your long lost sister. Yet its foundations are so rotten that any occasional bright spot, any flourish that a particular writer is able to sprinkle into their quest or character dialogue, only serves to draw further attention to the simple fact that nothing in the game makes any sense.ĭying Light 2 takes place in Villedor, the last remaining large city on an earth that collapsed to the Zombie Apocalypse. It has ambitions of being a serious roleplaying game, its sights set firmly on coming for Fallout: New Vegas’ post apocalyptic multi-faction throne. Let us not beat around the bush: the story of Dying Light 2 is an unmitigated disaster. If Dewey Cox were in a Ubisoft game, this is word for word what he would say. Waltz enters as you hide in a vent, and delivers his grand speech: when he was a kid, his daddy raised horses, and when his prize horse was injured, his daddy made him shoot it. This is Vaas sitting in the sand and telling you about the definition of insanity. This is the scene the introduction has been building up to, the emotional lynchpin on which the next 30-300 hours must rest. He is the version of the charismatic post Dark Knight villain that has in the past decade become the legally mandated focal point of every game inspired in any way by Far Cry. Less than an hour into Dying Light 2, the game introduces its villain. ![]() Doctor Who returns on March 30 as part of BBC AMERICA’s Supernatural Saturday programming block, alongside world premieres of new original series The Nerdist and Orphan Black.

Having lots of devices attached to your network can also put individual devices at risk. Rogue attackers can crack open encryption, and wireless devices in secured buildings can be compromised by signal leakages. ![]() This can help you determine which devices should stay and which should get booted off the network to improve Wi-Fi speeds and reliability.Īlong with detecting and deterring slow network speeds, a Wi-Fi scanner or analyzer can also help you protect your wireless network. Having lots of connected devices can negatively impact your wireless network-when you scan for devices using a Wi-Fi Analyzer or scanner, you can see how many devices are on your network and what those devices are. One example of this is troubleshooting a slow wireless network. Wi-Fi scanners and analyzers are built to display wireless network activity through topology maps, performance metrics, data correlation, and more Wi-Fi analysis capabilities.īy locating all devices in your network and gathering their information, a Wi-Fi scanning tool can help you detect problematic devices along with other wireless network issues. By gathering data like signal strength, coverage area, bandwidth trends, and more, a wireless network scanner can enable you to monitor and understand the activity happening across your Wi-Fi networks. Scanning for wireless network devices enables you to view critical insights into your wireless network and devices, so you can troubleshoot and optimize your overall Wi-Fi performance. What Does Scanning for Wireless Network Devices Do? You can also use Wi-Fi scanning software to discover areas in your facility with a weak Wi-Fi signal. Using a Wi-Fi network analyzer for consistent Wi-Fi scanning helps you collect data and identify problems and indicate potential solutions, such as switching to another channel to reduce congestion. Wi-Fi signals are constantly changing, and small changes in the network can have massive effects on the overall connection uptime. A wireless network analyzer can help you maintain connection quality, which can be vital for numerous business needs and performance metrics. In simple terms, a Wi-Fi analyzer or scanner gathers information about access points and channels on your network and displays it in an easy-to-understand, visually accessible way. The Wi-Fi analyzer then examines the spectrum to view networks, their channels, and signal strength. Most Wi-Fi network analyzers work in a similar way, in which you can choose a wireless spectrum to examine, such as 2.4GHz or 5GHz. |
