Talking with Steve, he took me around the building to show me the benefits and perks of being an EA employee. Volleyball and basketball courts next to the soccer field. Of course everything from the grand architecture to the chairs and tables was polished and refined to a finite degree.

Not only that, but I got to talk to the lead gameplay producer of FIFA 12, Aaron McHardy, about the new player-impact engine, precision dribbling, and tactical defending. I was able to get a tour of EA Sports in Vancouver, Canada where the FIFA series was developed. It's been a long time since I've posted, but I've got something pretty cool for any fans of the FIFA videogame series.

![]() In a placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group comparison of single oral doses of lorazepam (2 mg) and flunitrazepam (1.2 mg), 36 young, healthy subjects completed a test battery before and after treatment including classic behavioral tests and visual and auditory event-related potentials. These results suggested that lorazepam can cause significant impairment of driving and psychomotor abilities, independent of the blood concentration. ![]() In ten of the other cases (in which no drugs other than lorazepam were present) Drug Recognition Expert reports were obtained, containing details of events surrounding arrests and performances on field sobriety tests lorazepam concentrations in these cases averaged 50 ng/ml. In 23 cases lorazepam was the only drug detected, at a mean blood concentration of 51 ng/ml. The mean whole lorazepam blood concentration in these drivers (n = 170, 56% male, mean age 40 years) was 48 ng/ml, but 86% of drivers tested positive for other drugs, which may have contributed to their impairment. All positive lorazepam drug-impaired driving cases submitted to the Washington State Toxicology Laboratory between January 1998 and December 2003 were reviewed. Common adverse effects include sedation, dizziness, weakness, unsteadiness, and disorientation, and lorazepam can cause significant impairment of driving ability. Lorazepam is often used to manage anxiety, presurgically, and as a sedative. IM and oral administration of lorazepam in elderly persons, as in the case of young individuals, leads to rapid and nearly complete absorption into the systemic circulation.In Meyler's Side Effects of Drugs (Sixteenth Edition), 2016 Nervous system Thus, the aging process is associated with small changes in the kinetics of lorazepam. Absorption of IM and oral lorazepam was 80% to 100% complete. Peak plasma lorazepam concentrations were always reached within 2.5 hr, and values of absorption half-life (t1/2a) did not exceed 45 min. Deltoid IM injection and oral administration of tablets in the fasting state led to rapid absorption of lorazepam into the systemic circulation. ![]() The rate and completeness of absorption of intramuscular (IM) and oral loraxepam was assessed in 10 of the elderly subjects. Gender had no apparent relationship to kinetics. Age differences in lorazepam clearance were partly explained by more frequent cigarette smoking in the young subjects. Values of elimination half-life (t1/2beta) in the elderly (15.9 hr) did not differ significantly from those in the young group (14.1 hr), but total clearance in the elderly (0.77 ml/min/kg) was 22% less (p less than 0.05) than in the young subjects (0.99 ml/min/kg). Volumes of distribution for lorazepam in the elderly group (mean, 0.99 1/kg), were slightly but significantly smaller than in the young group (1.11 1/kg), suggesting less extensive drug distribution in the elderly. The kinetic properties of single 1.5- to 3.0-mg doses of intravenous lorazepam were assessed in 15 healthy elderly subjects, 60 to 84 yr of age, and in 15 healthy young subjects, 19 to 38 yr of age. Lorazepam is a 3-hydroxy-1,4-benzodiazepine derivative biotransformed by glucuronide conjugation, followed by urinary excretion of the glucuronide metabolite.

So while PCs shifted to Vulkan, Apple created Metal, seeking GPU/CPU efficiency, predictability, and resource control, particularly for its modern A-series processors. But the fundamentals of 3D rendering have changed, including the overall GPU pipeline, multithreaded operations, and asynchronous processing. Metal developer liaison Dan Omachi explained that OpenGL was designed 25 years ago when 3D graphics were in their earliest days, and has kept going thanks to extensions for modern GPU features. ![]() After some game developers publicly threatened to stop making Mac games, Apple explained its reasoning last night at a Metal for OpenGL Developers session. Introducing four new operating systems simultaneously gives Apple the annual opportunity to bury bad news under good headlines, and 2018’s WWDC was no exception: iOS, macOS, and tvOS will stop supporting the popular cross-platform graphics renderer OpenGL in favor of Apple’s Metal.

Timnit Gebru, a Black former AI ethics researcher for the company, claimed she was fired late last year after criticizing its diversity efforts - a claim which the company reportedly denied. The investigation marks the latest of Google's recent run-ins with harassment allegations. Employees who identify as "Black+ female" left Google at the second-highest rate of any racial-gender group last year, with those identifying as "Native American+ female" leaving at the highest rate, according to Reuters. Though Google has claimed it's working to build " sustainable equity" for what the company calls its "Black+ community," its retention rate for women of color has dwindled. Interviewees include both those who have and haven't filed formal complaints against Google, according to the report. The DFEH has been interviewing Black women about their experiences working at the company, with interviews taking place as recently as last month. Often, the official decision to close is made so late that workers end up stranded far from home in now-dangerous weather," the workers, organized by Amazonians United, wrote in the petition. "Management puts off deciding whether to cancel the shift until we’ve already arrived at work, then tries to get us to take and agree to go home early without pay for the rest of the shift. The petition also demands a clear inclement weather policy from the company and asks that it include paid time off for shifts cancelled for weather. Workers at the Edwardsville facility were allowed to have access to their cell phones, according to Amazon. While the policy was temporarily suspended because of COVID-19, the company was reportedly planning to begin reinstating it in January 2021. workers is an Amazon employee, underscoring our particular interest in ensuring that the company’s employment practices are fair," the senators wrote in the letter.Ī few hundred Amazon workers in New York and other mid-Atlantic facilities also began to circulate a petition on Monday to demand Amazon end a policy of banning cell phones in the workplace. Today, approximately one out of every 170 U.S. "Amazon can afford to treat its workers well, and should be held accountable to do so. Sherrod Brown also sent a letter to Department of Labor Secretary Marty Walsh Monday calling for a federal investigation into Amazon's labor practices, including the company's high injury rates and its safety procedures surrounding the tornado deaths. On Thursday, CDPR released a statement confirming the attack, saying that it "now reason to believe that internal data illegally obtained during the attack is currently being circulated on the Internet." "We are not yet able to confirm the exact contents of the data in question, though we believe it may include current/former employee and contractor details in addition to data related to our games," the statement says. The files were put up for sale on the dark web for $7 million, and were reportedly sold after the hackers received a "satisfying offer," IGN reported. ![]() ![]() In February, CD Projekt Red, the maker of Cyberpunk 2077, was hacked in a ransomware attack. This isn't the first time that source code has been stolen from a game company. In forum posts that Motherboard reviewed, the hackers said they are looking to sell the data and shared some screenshots that claimed to show the data that was stolen, but they didn't share anything - yet. Motherboard reported that more than 780 gigabytes of data was stolen, including EA frameworks and SDKs. Hackers stole a boatload of data from video game giant EA, including data from FIFA and Frostbite, the engine that runs other big games, such as Battlefield.

![]() ![]() After several hours of housework, cooking, bathing and watching TV, it's time to put the computer away and clean the house, grab a snack, take a shower and watch TV before turning in for the night. That, my friends, is exactly what playing The Sims feels like. Have you ever dreamed that you were working? You know the dream - you work and work and work, waking completely tired only to face nine hours of real work at your real job. After five hours of The Sims, I rise from the chair feeling depressed and unhappy with my meager existence, yet eager to play again. After playing five hours of Unreal Tournament I rise from the chair feeling slightly bouncy with a heightened sense of excitement. Which is a bit strange - The Sims is almost certainly not a game. If you enjoy an occasional foreign film and aren't already on anti-depressants, The Sims may be the perfect game for you. ![]() Young average-looking character faces insurmountable challenges, meets an angst-ridden girl/guy and one or both die. While this can be great entertainment, it's certainly not art. Young good-looking character challenges all odds yet manages to win the girl/guy and live happily ever after. Most movies coming out of Hollywood follow a familiar theme (no wonder John Grisham books are so easily translated). One: this game finally creates interactive French cinema and two: that we all live very sad TV lives. I have developed two analogies for understanding The Sims. ![]() "Is it something that's not getting a lot attention, or is it something that's being written off as overly poppy or commercial?" "Is it going to be what we think of as folk music, or is it going to be something totally different?" he continued. "I think it's interesting to look around and say, Well, what aren't we seeing? What's going to be the interesting folk music 80 years from now coming from this area? But it's funny to think that the Lomaxes thought that about the music that we consider folk music today," said Caffery. "I think now we think of certain types of Cajun or zydeco music as being maybe commercial or overly poppy. "And I think these recordings show that."Ĭaffery said that by looking at how and what the Lomaxes thought of the music then may help "us get a good perspective on the music now. ![]() "Certainly, if we're inspired by older, traditional music, I think it's important to know just how broad that can be," said Caffery. "So it's really the first major audio collection of, I think, traditional music in our area."Īn area, Caffery contends, "where traditional music continues to be a very important part of our lives and our culture," he said. ![]() "It's the first major collection of field recordings done in Louisiana," said Caffery. Caffery also found links to a few local musicians such as Chris Segura, Yvette Landry and Chris and Michael Stafford. Bornu, Leon Ewens, Frankie and Albert, and Lawrence Cormier and Cletus Mire. Such as songs by the likes of Stavin Chain, Mr. We really wouldn't know about all of these different sorts of songs that people were playing." "They just recorded a very unique atlas of sounds that we otherwise probably wouldn't have for this area. "They recorded this older stuff that no commercial recording companies would've been interested in, like a cappella French narrative songs," said Caffery. "So they wanted compensation for any recordings they would make."īut the Lomaxes didn't have funds for that they basically had just enough to get around and record the music otherwise bypassed by profitable entities. "They had been paid by record companies," Caffery said. In the process of researching the Louisiana Lomax legacy, Caffery also learned that they bypassed "accordion orchestra music," because many Cajun musicians were used to being paid when it came to their music. "And the good thing about technology today is that those visions can kind of be realized and people can be given access in a way that they weren't before." "They wanted to make this a part of national memory and they wanted to give it back to the people who they recorded it from so they would know their own culture," he said. I think it's what the Lomaxes wanted to do, but they didn't have the technology to do so when they did this so long ago. They go and dig up dusty information and try to make sense of it," said Caffery. "So that's what I've tried to do is do the archival work and make it available to whoever has the Internet," he said, adding that the songs can be heard on mobile device, too. "But there aren't that many people who have the time, really, to go and do that and sit through the archives their self. And Josh's worked has continued this effort to try to understand Lomax and he's pushed it all the way."Īnd now you can hear what Caffery wrote about and what the Lomax Collection sounds like at "Of course, there are ways to hear it if you go to different archives in the Library of Congress or at the Center for Acadian and Creole Folklore (at University of Louisiana at Lafayette)," Caffery said. "It shows a remarkable range of historical influences that we now know were existing in south Louisiana," he said. I mean the complete, whole thing," he said. "What Josh has done, he's gone back into the Lomax Collection and did the whole thing. "Some of that stuff had already been effecting contemporary Cajun and Creole music. "It's extremely important for all sorts of reasons – historical, stylistic, lyrical – all sorts of reasons," said Ancelet. Still, Caffery wanted to make the audio available and when he applied for the fellowship at the Library of Congress, "as part of my application," he said, "I suggested that I would spend part of the time curating a website that would make the audio from that summer 80 years ago available and easily accessible online."īarry Ancelet, professor of French Louisiana folklore, said Caffery's work covers a lot of bases, from the book's content to the actual recordings. "There's so many songs and so much audio it would've been not really feasible," Caffery said. But there's more to the volume than words, lyrics, translations and photographs there's the music, too.Ĭaffery thought about making companion CDs for the book, however, with almost 200 songs, it would've been quite the hefty package with possibly a dozen CDs. ![]() 2 the performance of the app with large pdf files is not as.
