Five Unexpected Applications for Skid Steer Loaders Outside of Construction

The Skid Steer Loader is frequently praised as the unsung hero of building projects in the heavy machinery community. Its use is not, however, restricted to conventional construction projects. Let's explore five unexpected and creative uses for these vehicles, sometimes referred to as skid steer and compact track loaders or skid loaders, where their abilities are put to use.

1. Alchemy of Agriculture: Revolutionizing the Fields

In the middle of the huge fields of crops, the skid steer loader appears as an unforeseen but necessary ally. It can handle anything from crop management to soil preparation thanks to its versatile attachments and agile structure. Precision is crucial in orchard and vineyard activities, where one's ability to maneuver through confined spaces comes in helpful.

When a cat skid steer is fitted with specific attachments, jobs like planting, tilling, and mulching become easy undertakings. These machines' efficiency and versatility lead to increased output, altering conventional farming methods.

2. Snow Warrior: Battling the Winter Elements

Winter landscapes transform, and so does the role of the skid steer loader. Its agility and compact design make it an ideal companion for snow removal operations. Equipped with a snow blade or a snow blower attachment, these machines become winter warriors, clearing driveways, parking lots, and pathways with unparalleled efficiency.

The steer loader's ability to swiftly change directions and its powerful increased lifting capacity come into play when dealing with heavy snow. Whether in urban settings or expansive commercial areas, the skid steer becomes the frontline defender against the winter onslaught.

3. Landscaping Maestro: Crafting Outdoor Masterpieces

Beyond the rugged terrain of construction sites, the skid steer transforms into a landscaping virtuoso. Its versatility shines as it navigates through gardens and intricate outdoor spaces with finesse. With attachments like soil tillers, augers, and brush cutters, the compact track loader becomes a brushstroke in the hands of a landscaping artist.

The precision and control offered by the rated operating capacity of these machines allow for meticulous sculpting of landscapes. From creating decorative pathways to digging ponds, the skid steer loader's adaptability turns outdoor visions into breathtaking realities.

4. Waste Management Pioneer: Handling Garbage with Style

The skid steer loader is a silent hero in the field of trash management. It is a great option for jobs like loading and moving waste materials because of its small size and agility. These devices effectively manage large waste thanks to their grapple attachment, which speeds up the disposal of waste.

Due to their sturdy construction, big frame skid steer loaders can easily handle difficult waste management operations. They serve a crucial role in upholding cleanliness and order because of their capacity to maneuver through tight places in garbage facilities, guaranteeing that no area is overlooked.

5. Equine Companion: Improving Stable Management

In the tranquil world of horse facilities, the skid steer loader becomes an unusual but indispensable friend. Because of its small size and accurate handling, it's the perfect tool for jobs in barns and stables. These devices help equestrian facilities run smoothly by doing tasks like handling and moving bales of hay and cleaning up stalls.

The skid loader becomes a versatile tool for lifting and moving heavy horse equipment when it is coupled with accessories such as fork grapples. It's a useful item that regularly keeps horses safe and streamlines stable operations due to its adaptability.

In conclusion, the skid steer loader has several applications outside of construction. These include garbage management, landscaping, agricultural, winter maintenance, and horse care. The history of the skid steer loader is always changing as businesses continue to recognize the untapped potential of these tools, impacting numerous facets of our everyday existence.

ONCE UPON A TIME AT THE DRIVE-IN: The Testament of Al Adamson

It was 50 years ago last year that the cheap and peculiarly patchwork films of Al Adamson first began to assert themselves on drive-in and grindhouse screens across America. Initially recognized for his horror films (Blood of Dracula’s Castle, Horror of the Blood Monsters, Brain of Blood, and especially Dracula vs. Frankenstein), he went on to add biker, action, blaxploitation, sexploitation, and even family fare to his rickety roster before retiring from his director’s chair sometime in the 1980s and vanishing into private life. The rise of Adamson’s unpretentious output happened to coincide with the decline of the Hollywood studio system as well as such old guard avatars as American International Pictures, Britain’s Hammer Films and Amicus Productions, whose imprints always guaranteed a certain level of production value and class. Adamson’s work was something of a throwback to the gore films of Herschell Gordon Lewis (Blood Feast, Two Thousand Maniacs!), but whereas Lewis’ work in horror was a taboo-breaking branching-out from his earlier nudie-cutie fare, Adamson’s pictures were endearing for their sentimental casting of veteran character actors well past their prime; technically, they didn’t bear comparing even to the old Monogram or PRC titles where Bela Lugosi was often found slumming during the 1940s, but the average drive-in patron could look at them and think, after his third or fourth beer of the night, “Damn, I could do better than this!” And sure enough, Adamson’s rough-and-ready example and his impressive earnings played a part in encouraging the powderkeg of DIY horror breakthroughs that went epidemic around the turn of the decade. Just to name the Americans, these feral young newcomers included George A. Romero, Wes Craven, Tobe Hooper, Bob Kelljan, David Durston, Andy Milligan, S.F. Brownrigg, even Oliver Stone, not to mention the many young and international filmmakers associated with Roger Corman’s New World Pictures.

1969’s Golden Anniversary honors were largely drawn to Quentin Tarantino’s behind-the-scenes movie fantasy Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood, which was much praised for its magical extrication of the beautiful and talented actress Sharon Tate from her hideous murder on August 9th of that year. For some of us, Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood links directly to thoughts of Al Adamson; in early 1969, he shot parts of his biker thriller Satan’s Sadists at the notorious Spahn Movie Ranch in Los Angeles’ Ventura County, where thwarted songwriter Charles Manson lived with his “family” members, inculcating in them a blood-lusting resentment for the established Hollywood order that would not invite him in. When Satan’s Sadists was first released in June 1969 (its trailer promising “A Rebellion of Human Garbage!” led by West Side Story star Russ Tamblyn), it quickly disappeared… but in the wake of the Tate/La Bianca murders just a few months later, its distributor Independent-International shipped it back out with a new, sleazier publicity campaign that actually emphasized its prophetic Manson Family associations. “See the Shocking Story Behind the Headlines… Wild Hippies on a Murder Spree!,” crowed the ads; “Actually Filmed Where the Tate Suspects Lived Their Wild Experiences!”And just in case this wasn’t enough, the film was frequently co-billed with Tate’s 1968 British film Eye of the Devil, now being sold with the tagline “Weird, mystic cult slaughters innocent victims!”

As irony would have it, almost thirty years after so grossly pandering to the public’s prurient interest in the murder, the director of Satan’s Sadists got the biggest headlines of his career when Al Adamson was named as the murder victim in a crime story nationally broken in August 1995, a couple of months after his mysterious disappearance.

This story is now the subject matter of a feature-length documentary by filmmaker David Gregory: Blood and Flesh: The Reel Life and Ghastly Death of Al Adamson, which premiered late last year at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal and at the UK Fright Fest.

The son of 1930s western star Denver Dixon (in truth, transplanted New Zealand native Victor Adamson), Al had been kicking around the exploitation film business his entire life. In 1960, working under the alias “Lyle Felice”, he took the lead role in a Western entitled Halfway To Hell, which he ended up co-directing with his father. The film was never released and the young Adamson wasn’t able to put another film together until 1965, when he wore all the various hats needed to make his first official feature Echo of Terror, a jewel heist programmer somehow given the breath of life on a mere $2,000 investment.

Low on thrills and boasting no stars, Echo of Terror followed in the footsteps of Halfway To Hell by never finding a distributor. It remained on the shelf until Adamson made the fateful acquaintance of Samuel M. Sherman, then working in the publicity department at Hemisphere Pictures, designing campaigns for the likes of Filipino imports like Eddie Romero’s war drama The Ravagers and Gerardo de Leon’s vampire opus The Blood Drinkers. Sherman had just finished a two-year stint as the editor of the Warren Publications magazine Screen Thrills Illustrated, devoted to the movie serials of the 1930s and ‘40s – so he was familiar with the name Denver Dixon and formed a fast friendship with his son. He screened Edge of Terror and, while agreeing it was unviable in its present shape, he was impressed by what Adamson had accomplished with so little money. They didn’t yet have the means to produce an entirely new picture, so they made a reel’s worth of changes to what they had, and that’s how Echo of Terror – with a modicum of new footage featuring some go-go dancers - became Psycho A Go Go.

Through Hemisphere, this jarring concoction was shipped out in support of The Ravagers in Rochester, New York at the end of 1965, and it remained in circulation in New England and Midwestern states through 1967, first playing with another Gerardo de Leon picture, Curse of the Vampires (retitled Blood Creatures) and later appearing at the bottom of triple – and even quadruple - bills with Hammer’s Dracula Prince of Darkness (1965) and Plague of the Zombies (1966).

Even as Psycho A Go Go was tempting sullen motorists to stick around for the free donuts and coffee being served to anyone who lasted till the fourth feature, Sherman and Adamson could see that the clock was ticking against the timeliness of its title. So yet another scheme was hatched to squeeze maximum earnings out of a minimal further investment. Sherman knew more about the film business than Adamson did, so it was likely he who suggested they write some additional mad scientist gobbledegook, hire John Carradine for a day or two, and ship out their brand new picture with a more exploitable title like Fiend With the Electronic Brain – pretty much exactly what producer Jerry Warren had done some years earlier with the reels of unmarketable Swedish and Chilean footage that he sold to unsuspecting patrons as Invasion of the Animal People (1959) and Curse of the Stone Hand (1965), starring John Carradine!

They followed through on the plan and did indeed secure a distribution deal (or at least an arrangement) with David L. Hewitt’s American General Pictures, who got Fiend With the Electronic Brain into a couple of drive-ins in Corpus Christie and Austin, Texas in late 1967 and early 1968 as a co-feature to Jack Hill’s as-yet-unrecognized classic Spider Baby. On the books, it gave them credit for having produced and released a new picture that year, which made their new partnership the beneficiary of a much-needed tax break and a foundation from which they were able to produce their first real joint effort. This was Blood of Dracula’s Castle (1969, also starring Carradine), made in partnership with Paragon International Pictures, as was its co-feature, Bud Townsend’s Nightmare In Wax starring Cameron Mitchell. Released through Crown International, the double bill premiered in May 1969 and Blood of Dracula’s Castle in particular was never out of theatrical circulation for the next two years.

You might think they would have moved on to more important things, but the Frankensteinian efforts to make a bigger, better Fiend With the Electronic Brain continued to occupy Sherman and Adamson. Sherman’s success with Blood-titled campaigns – ranging from 1970s Mad Doctor of Blood Island to 1971’s Frankenstein’s Bloody Terror – had convinced him that “Blood” was the most commercially vital word in horror terminology. His theory was subsequently bourne out by the success of his 1972 “Chiller Carnival of Blood” – a drive-in festival composed of old, decomposing Hemisphere titles (1959’s Terror Is A Man retitled Blood Creature, Mad Doctor of Blood Island retitled Blood Doctor, Theater of Death retitled Blood Fiend, and Brides of Blood retitled Blood Brides). Sherman’s “good luck noun” was prominently applied to their old warhorse the next time it surfaced, this time with new footage featuring Kent Taylor and Adamson’s wife Regina Carroll, who had become a fixture of his work since Satan’s Sadists. The rechristened Blood of Ghastly Horror actually headed drive-in triple bills upon its release in January 1973 – and some ticket buyers may have been understandably annoyed to discover that it was the same film that had been playing on television stations across the country as early as April 1972 under the title Man With the Synthetic Brain.

This is but one of numerous stories of patchwork reinventions and retitlings attending the filmography of Al Adamson, which will receive the fullest possible examination when Severin Films releases the mind-staggering tributary box set Al Adamson – The Masterpiece Collection, on April 21st. Compiling all 32 of Adamson’s surviving feature films and variants on 14 Blu-ray discs (all Region A, except for Discs 1, 12, and 14, which are region free), a 128-page book, as well as the David Gregory documentary, this Matterhorn of home video retrospectives will be limited to only 2,000 copies and supply is dwindling fast. The dwindling is faster still for two variants packed with additional incentives: you’ve already missed the “Bundle of Ghastly Horror” (limited to 200 copies and containing posters signed by Adamson stars John “Bud” Cardos and Zandor Vorkov), but the limited 300-copy “Bundle A Go Go” retains most of the contents - a T-shirt, dimestore vampire fangs, 7” soundtrack single of music from The Female Bunch, and Adamson patch and enamel pin - while substituting a signed postcard for the posters. Pick your poison at severin-films.com.

If you’re wondering, “Do I need this?,” only you can answer that question reliably. However, should you be open to further temptation, I can whole-heartedly recommend the documentary Blood and Flesh: The Reel Life and Ghastly Death of Al Adamson, which is available for purchase separately and now streaming on such outlets as Amazon Prime, Vudu, and Google Play.

EON Playthrough - Week 2

After the pretty great (to me) 3rd and 4th stratum, and the fairly stellar end to the 2nd (but then again, EO games always have the most interesting boss setup first), I think I’m at a sort of low-point in the game right now. The fifth stratum was alright, but only had one real gimmick and kinda ran it right into the ground.

Conversely, the sixth stratum felt waaay too short by compare and really felt like a 'breather' stratum. I didn't even bother buying anything the whole stratum and just bulldozed the boss no problem, before even bothering to try fighting the FOEs. On that; it's nothing really new in the series, but it's always really freaking weird to see a late-game FOE downgraded to a regular enemy, while simultaneously seeing an early-game enemy promoted to a FOE.

My initial perception of the seventh also seemed quite negative, being possibly the single most droll stratum in the whole series, but I have a little more faith after seeing its first FOEs do something I wish happened way more often; they're not near-boss level threats to be avoided at all costs (or at least until the last floor of the stratum) but annoying nuisances barely stronger than normal enemies that continually blunder into you.

Also, one last random note before character comments. Back in EOV, you were seeing other Guilds (or Conrad endlessly, if you never scanned anybody else's QR codes) show up in events on nearly every floor, if not multiple times per floor. I think it's happened maybe five times total so far. It's not really a bad change, but it is kinda odd.

Iris the Protector - After seeing no less than three different sources of mass-fire attacks in the 5th, and then later even the boss itself, it was time to bring Iris back. I believe this marks the first Etrian Odyssey in which blocking elemental attacks is worth a damn outside of three recurring bosses and maybe the ultra-superboss. That said, using her against the fire-breathing boss was actually the wrong call, as its damage output was incredibly poor otherwise. My first attempt lasted about 35 turns, ending with it getting three insta-kills when it had about 5% HP left. Switching her out and going full ham with Erika killed it in about 7. She also faired fairly questionably against the main fire FOE, as while Flame Shield is highly effective, it only blocks once per character. Not very helpful when that fire attack randomly hits seven times, especially when Taunted to utterly bombard the poor Protector. I think her greatest fault is that, right now, her defense is not remarkably higher than anyone else's. As stats expand outwards and upwards, hopefully she won't remain within 10 points of the Medic's defense.

Leon the Sovereign - As I suspected, Leon was gonna make himself useful soon, but he didn't quite work as I always hoped. When I first saw a FOE that could half your Max HP with a debuff, I thought I could preemptively counter it with the Max HP up buff. And while it does get rid of it afterwards, it doesn't do a thing to stop the dreadful debuff in the first place. Was also seeing ample amounts of annoying Ailments, so thought Prevent Order might also come in handy. And it does, but it's not guaranteed to actually kick in anymore. However, it also doesn't fade at the sight of an ailment; only if it tries and succeeds at blocking one does it fade. So it's kind of an even trade, really. Next odd surprise with him was finding that Sovereign's can innately wield staffs (that's new, right?), and with the third or so highest INT of any class, he's no slouch as a frontline caster once buffs are ready. Granted, he has to rely on weapon Skills, which is kind of unreliable, but they're also WAAAAAY more common than they were in V, so I'm not terribly worried. Throwing out ice chunks has gotten him by in most low-stakes random encounters.

Olga the Gunner - Also as expected, one good gun was all it took to get her going hard. And it's not even a good gun; just a decent one that was easy to forge at the start of the 5th stratum. She's gone from about 5 levels behind the main cast to the single highest-levelled member, so it's more than feasible to put a fresh recruit into the main party. If you're carrying the Memory Conch around. The infinite accuracy on the Leg/Arm/Head Snipes also needs a shoutout for breaking through some seriously annoying enemy skills.

Laura the Medic - Has probably spent more than half her time as of late in the front row. It's probably incredibly reckless, but it's yet to bite me in the ass, and she's doing fairly comparable damage to Klein or Erika's backrow Mirage Blade / Air Blade. It might seem weird to keep a Medic around when I'm bragging about things being in 'breather' territory, but the answer to that is Ailments have been showing up a lot, especially in tandem with enemies that are basically wannabe Nightseekers, totalizing anyone who's Ailed. So maybe I just have a really good team for this bit.

Coral the Landsknecht - Has basically devolved strictly into using the Shield Breaks at this point. New enemy, not sure what it's really capable of? Power Break away! Confident they're not a big deal? Guard Break and watch 'em fall in two hits. Links aren't exactly of priority when Olga's usually shooting someone else in the face/arms so they don't annoy me, and Leon is buffing, leaving only two other attackers, one of which is the Medic.

Klein the Hero - Used a bit when exploring new areas, as he's still really good for wiping encounters. But I know he struggles in bosses, so I'm leaning away from him when I can, because bosses is where I already struggle, and investing him isn't helping on that front.

Juri the Survivalist - Juri's basically only brought out for farming runs at this point. Still OKAY in combat, but that initial edge she had is definitely gone. The fact that she's usually much faster than Coral only hurts her chances, as Double Shot would be great for Linking, if it didn't go off first. Olga's slow and strong fits my setup much better than fast and unkillable. I'm still happy with the Survivalist class, though. Being unkillable wasn't even on their list of upsides in EOII, and they did even crappier damage back then, too. AND Ailments were garbage back then. So I guess being vastly improved is obviously good, but it still might not be enough to make you great.

Best approaches for data quality control in AI training

The phrase “garbage in, trash out” has never been more true than when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems. Although the methods and tools for creating AI-based systems have become more accessible, the accuracy of AI predictions still depends heavily on high-quality training data. You cannot advance your AI development strategy without data quality management.

In AI, data quality can take many different forms. The quality of the source data comes first. For autonomous vehicles, that may take the form of pictures and sensor data, or it might be text from support tickets or information from more intricate business correspondence.

Unstructured data must be annotated for machine learning algorithms to create the models that drive AI systems, regardless of where it originates. As a result, the effectiveness of your AI systems as a whole depends greatly on the quality of annotation.

Establishing minimum requirements for data annotation quality control

The key to better model output and avoiding issues early in the model development pipeline is an efficient annotation procedure

The best annotation results come from having precise rules in place. Annotators are unable to use their techniques consistently without the norms of engagement.

Additionally, it’s crucial to remember that there are two levels of annotated data quality:

The instance level: Each training example for a model has the appropriate annotations. To do this, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the annotation criteria, data quality metrics, and data quality tests to guarantee accurate labelling.

The dataset level: Here, it’s important to make sure the dataset is impartial. This can easily occur, for instance, if the majority of the road and vehicle photos in a collection were shot during the day and very few at night. In this situation, the model won’t be able to develop the ability to accurately recognise objects in photographs captured in low light.

Creating a data annotation quality assurance approach that is effective

Choosing the appropriate quality measures is the first step in assuring data quality in annotation. This makes it possible to quantify the quality of a dataset. You will need to determine the appropriate syntax for utterances in several languages while developing a natural language processing (NLP) model for a voice assistant, for instance.

A standard set of examples should be used to create tests that can be used to measure the metrics when they have been defined. The group that annotated the dataset ought to design the test. This will make it easier for the team to come to a consensus on a set of rules and offer impartial indicators of how well annotators are doing.

On how to properly annotate a piece of media, human annotators may disagree. One annotator might choose to mark a pedestrian who is only partially visible in a crosswalk image as such, whereas another annotator might choose to do so. Clarify rules and expectations, as well as how to handle edge cases and subjective annotations, using a small calibration set.

Even with specific instructions, annotators could occasionally disagree. Decide how you will handle those situations, such as through inter-annotator consensus or agreement. In order to ensure that your annotation is efficient, it can be helpful to discuss data collecting procedures, annotation needs, edge cases, and quality measures upfront.

In the meantime, always keep in mind that approaches to identify human exhaustion must take this reality into consideration in order to maintain data quality. To detect frequent issues related to fatigue, such as incorrect boundaries/color associations, missing annotations, unassigned attributes, and mislabeled objects, think about periodically injecting ground truth data into your dataset.

The fact that AI is used in a variety of fields is another crucial factor. To successfully annotate data from specialist fields like health and finance, annotators may need to have some level of subject knowledge. For such projects, you might need to think about creating specialised training programmes.

Setting up standardised procedures for quality control

Processes for ensuring data quality ought to be standardised, flexible, and scalable. Manually examining every parameter of every annotation in a dataset is impractical, especially when there are millions of them. Making a statistically significant random sample that accurately represents the dataset is important for this reason.

Choose the measures you’ll employ to gauge data quality. In classification tasks, accuracy, recall, and F1-scores—the harmonic mean of precision and recall—are frequently utilised.

The feedback mechanism used to assist annotators in fixing their mistakes is another crucial component of standardised quality control procedures. In order to find faults and tell annotators, you should generally use programming. For instance, for a certain dataset, the dimensions of general objects may be capped. Any annotation that exceeds the predetermined limits may be automatically blocked until the problem is fixed.

A requirement for enabling speedy inspections and corrections is the development of effective quality-control tools. Each annotation placed on an image in a dataset for computer vision is visually examined by several assessors with the aid of quality control tools like comments, instance-marking tools, and doodling. During the review process, these approaches for error identification help evaluators identify inaccurate annotations.

Analyze annotator performance using a data-driven methodology. For managing the data quality of annotations, metrics like average making/editing time, project progress, jobs accomplished, person-hours spent on various scenarios, the number of labels/day, and delivery ETAs are all helpful.

Summary of data quality management

A study by VentureBeat found that just 13% of machine learning models are actually used in practise. A project that might have been successful otherwise may be harmed by poor data quality because quality assurance is a crucial component of developing AI systems.

Make sure you start thinking about data quality control right away. You may position your team for success by developing a successful quality assurance procedure and putting it into practise. As a result, you’ll have a stronger foundation for continually improving, innovating, and establishing best practises to guarantee the highest quality annotation outputs for all the various annotation kinds and use cases you might want in the future. In conclusion, making this investment will pay off in the long run.

Can Artificial Intelligence replace human in Software Testing?

Artificial intelligence is a computer science discipline that simulates intelligence in machines, by making them think, act and mimic human actions. There has been a significant development in the artificial intelligence industries, machines are automated to take rational actions and exhibit traits that are associated with humans. As days go by more and more algorithms are being created to mimic human intelligence and are embedded into machines. Software testing and development is a very important aspect where artificial intelligence is applied. With Digitalization improving human efficiency, so has improvements in AI shaped the way software is being tested.

2016-2017 Quality assurance report suggests that AI will help shape software testing by assisting humans in eliminating problems associated with QA and software testing challenges. However, if these needs are met in the software industries there is a possibility that human testers will become extinct. This calls for the question “Can Artificial intelligence replace humans in software testing?” Many software experts believe that artificial intelligence can only assist in software testing and cannot replace humans, because humans are still needed to think outside the box and explore inherent vulnerabilities in the software. Contrary to this, others think otherwise. But after critical thought and weighing both views, it appears that the former obviously holds more tangible points than the latter.

The Evolution in Software testing is continuous with the adoption of Agile and DevOps methodologies. And software development will also continue to evolve in the era of AI. Artificial intelligence is charged with creating software to understand input data versus output data. This is similar to software tests carried out by human software testers, where the tester types in an input and looks for an expected output. Today, testing tools have evolved. Automation tools can be used to create, organize and prioritize test cases. Efficiently managing tests and their outcomes remain essential to giving the developers the feedback they need.

Shortcomings of Humans in Software testing that can be positively transformed by Artificial intelligence

Although humans are considered a reliable source for software testing, humans still have its own shortcomings. This is a disadvantage to human software testers which reduces their efficiency and performance in software testing. These shortcomings are stated as follows:

Time-consuming: The primary disadvantage of performing software testing by humans is that it is time-consuming. Validation of the functionalities of software might take days and weeks, and with the assistance of Artificial intelligence time wastage is reduced to minimal.

Limited possibilities of testing for manual scenarios: Artificial intelligence creates a broad scope for testing contrary to the limited scope available to the human testing scenarios.

Lack of automation: Manual testing requires the presence of the software tester, but testing using artificial intelligence can be done steadily without much human intervention.

In a large organization without the help of Artificial intelligence automated tools in software testing, there will be low productivity.

Manual testing is not always 100% accurate as it can be exposed to certain errors which may elude the software tester. Some glitches in the software are usually not recognized by the software tester, validation only occurs in certain areas and others are ignored. With AI coverage as well as accuracy can be improved.

Scalability issues: manual testing is a linear process and happens sequential manner. this means that only one test can be created and done at the same time, trying to create more test from other functionalities simultaneously can increase complexity.

Alice to Zouroku

So get this, a pretty girl with psychic superweapon powers escapes from a lab she’s been in her whole life and now has to adapt to the real world with the help of a guy she stumbles upon, all while being chased by her superweapon former friends. But in a shocking twist, this is actually better than Elfen Lied! Not being written by someone as brutally incompetent as Lynn Okamoto is a start, but the real change here is that our heroine is less murder machine and more genuinely cute, and more importantly the guy she ends up with is not a harem ringleader dorklord, but a grumpy elderly florist. Yeah, we’re skipping the recent trend of dadfeel anime and diving headfirst into granddad feels (I don’t know if aging otaku are quite old enough to fully self-insert yet, but the same principle applies). It’s a low hanging fruit, but that’s what makes it work; a deliberate, contemplative pace and delightfully whimsical music by TO-MAS also help. So far, so good, were it not for the fact that this is only one aspect of the show. Of course a show like this would have an action half as well, and that one’s pretty garbage. Not only is it directed with zero impact or excitement, it also relies on horrible CG a lot - I really don’t want to be reminded of Hand Shakers this quickly again, thank you very much. Plus, it runs with a Alice in Wonderland metaphor, which is baby’s first literary reference and doesn’t bode well about the intellectual ambitions of the project. So we have one half that’s admittedly effective, but also very predictable and which desperately needs to go somewhere to pay off. The other half just plain sucks and has little chance to improve. I think I’ll give this one a few more chances to sort out its priorities, but it’s definitely not a sure thing.

Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism

A cocky guy walks into a school full of pretty girls with weapons who have managed to sissify all the dudes by forcing them to crossdress. He then proceeds to troll them with his rugged charm. You know, it’s really not that easy to offend me but damn this show is trying. Apart from bottom-tier harem crap setup, this show also looks like ass and is tremendously boring; a few well done action cuts do not in fact excuse “fights” that mostly consist of exposition about special attacks, or terminally uninspired direction. Macchiavellism is the worst of shounen fightmens crossed with the worst of harem LNs, plus some of the worst jokes bad anime comedy can come up with. It’s not even audacious enough in its badness to boggle the mind; I could watch this if I was interested in adding another 1/10 to my MAL, but that’s about all I can appreciate about it.

Frame Arms Girl

Speaking of unholy combinations, here’s Gundam Build Fighters x Rozen Maiden x Strike Witches: A girl stumbles into a sentient mecha musume model kit that spends its time explaining the technical details of model building to her and attracts other model kits that want to fight. It’s an ad for model kits, what do you expect. There’s no characters, the plot is utterly uninteresting, the action’s bad, it looks subpar to bad, and the only high point is how brazenly it reads to you from the manual.

Gin no Guardian

Here’s your latest Chinese webcomic adaptation from your friends at Haoliners Animation League (Shanghai) Inc., whose output has been asymptotically approaching the quality level of a bad Japanese cartoon for years now: Closer than ever, but still not quite there. Maybe they should stop picking bad webcomics with incomprehensible nonsense plots as source material, just sayin’. So this is about a dude who beats up CG zombies in the spirit world but the actual story is how he got there? Or something? It manages to look barely alright and even has some visually striking design work, but its half-length run time prevents it from forming any semblance of coherence and I’m not about to ask for further clarification.

Oushitsu Kyoushi Haine

In a vaguely 18th century Germanic kingdom, a grown ass man with the body of a ten year old and a snarky disposition is hired to become the tutor of an instaharem of fabulous princes. I really don’t get who this is for; obviously the harem is straight out of a PSP otome dating sim, but it’s lacking the obvious self-insert dimwitted main girl, and no, it isn’t gay romance either. Even though it’s a comedy, that aspect does not seem to be played for outright parody. The source material is running in GFantasy, a shounen title (but not one as specifically elementary schooler-focused as Jump, it also carries fujo favorites such as Black Butler). Dubious provenance aside, Haine is moderately funny if nothing else, mainly due to the deadpan reactions of the main character to these ridiculous dreamboats. It just also drags more than a little, with long conversations that aren’t very entertaining all the time. It’s watchable compared to a lot of the stuff out this season, but I remain unconvinced.

Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records

After Macchiavellism already obliterated the battle harem bingo, here’s our next winner. The setup’s more or less the same and in some respects it’s even more formulaic (the school is actually a magic school for magic people, princesses, duels, &c), but Akashic Record is not quite as odious simply by focusing on being a comedy first and foremost and pulling that off at least on a technical level - it has good visual execution and comedic timing. The question is just how much credit you want to give it for that when the jokes themselves still suck, and that’s of course ignoring the entire setup being Light Novel as all fuck. Kinda seems familiar actually, because this is not entirely unlike to what KonoSuba did to the isekai genre, and people keep trying to tell me that that was totally great. Well, go watch this one then, motherfuckers.

Sagrada Reset

But there’s always the other kind of light novel, the one where high schoolers talk about life, people and the world. Think Bakemonogatari or OreGairu. Sagrada Reset wants a slice of that pie and starts by stealing the magical realism conceit from classic™ visual novel Wind ~A Breath of Heart~: There’s a remote town in Japan where everyone has superpowers, but if they leave the town they instantly forget about it. Oops, i guess I just spoiled Wind’s midgame, but I have to since Sagrada Reset puts this stuff right upfront because it has to discuss technicalities (at length) to make its plot work. Yeah, that’s how I like my magical realism, thoroughly explained and conceived by people who should write wikis, not fiction. There’s a girl who can reset time, but only once per arbitrary period of time and also including herself, which means she only finds out she already did it once it doesn’t work again. So that’s pretty useless, except there’s a guy whose superpower is having his memory unaffected by this. They have to work together to solve... some problems, I suppose. This whole idea seems to have potential in a JoJo subplot sort of way, but it’s completely sunk by the way the thing is written, since apparently the writer has never met a human being in his life. It’s entirely made of these pseudo-deep highschool stoner philosophy conversations presented in a lifeless inflection by people who stand around like robots on battery saver mode. This seems to be intentional (at least the term “robot” is thrown around a couple of times, which is certainly ominous), but it also makes for an excruciating and interminable watching experience.

Sakura Quest

Since Sakura Quest was announced, I have been gleefully throwing water on the hype of people who expected this to be the next Shirobako. After all, how likely is it for lightning to strike twice, especially considering Mizushima is not in the director’s seat? Surely it was all just wishful thinking, I want a S2 of Shirobako as much as everyone but I just don’t trust anime. Well consider me fucking told, since apparently among the parties wishing for more Shirobako is P.A. Works, and unlike the anitwitterati they can make it happen. The actual brand name seems to be reserved for a Mizushima project, but I would have no trouble believing that Sakura Quest is a spinoff about Aoi’s sister in the boonies; Shirobako Sunshine, if you will. The initial setup is mirrored here; Yoshino is not a young professional starting her dream job, but a young professional unable to score a dream job (or any job) so she settles for a random one she’s very skeptical of, but will undoubtedly learn to love. Apart from that, well, it’s Shirobako: The positive tone, the large cast of likeable oddballs, the relatable writing about post-highschool problems, and it even looks completely identical. I’ll still be realistic about it: Shirobako isn’t great for what its ideas were, but for how thoroughly it delivered in the long run, and this is by no means guaranteed to also happen with Sakura Reset Quest. For an episode 1 though, it’s like a dream come true, and P.A. are setting themselves up for seasonal double domination with this and Uchouten Kazoku S2.

Souryo to Majiwaru Shikiyoku no Yoru ni

Enough gushing, here’s 5 minutes of porn. Okay, it’s josei porn so there may still be gushing involved if you know what I mean, nyuk nyuk. Er, sorry about that. Sooooo there’s a sexually frustrated woman who meets her school crush who’s now a priest, and then they fuck. With a staff made up mostly of (non-josei, but hey) hentai OVA veterans, there is really only one way this could go. I appreciate the brazenness as usual, but I really don’t know how much steamy harlequin romance tailored to TV broadcast standards I want to watch.

Tsugumomo

I’ve seen some warnings about Tsugumomo based on its source material which is a manga with 1. a very high level of art quality and 2. content that has been described as “makes To-Love Ru Darkness look family friendly”. This may explain why it has not been licensed. It doesn’t explain why this first episode is fairly tame though; sure, it’s very much an ecchi comedy, but you get those from time to time and Tsugumomo is not any more raunchy than what I’m used to seeing (and it accomplishes this even without obvious BD-advert censoring). That incidentally also removes any reason to watch it: The plot is as basic “guy gets magical girlfriend for purposes of fights and/or walking in on her naked in the bath” from 15 years ago as they come, and it’s suspiciously well animated, but not well enough for that to be a selling point. Maybe it will get real skeevy eventually, I won’t be around to find out.

Warau Salesman NEW

Warau Salesman starts strong with ultra cool, Saul Bass-inspired opening credits, but that’s about all it has to offer. It’s based on a “black comedy” manga from the 60s by one of the Doraemon authors, and oh boy can you tell. Not only are the character designs 60s-tastic (so at least the Osomatsu-san fujos can schlick to something while they wait for the S2 of that), but so are the sensibilities: The titular salesman goes around tempting frustrated office workers with doing something moderately irresponsible, such as drinking in your lunch break or spending above your means, and then ruins their life when they actually do it. It’s like Twilight Zone written by your HR department. In the 60s. This stuff would have been outdated even in 1989, when it was animated for the first time – hence the “NEW”. I don’t know, it just seems mean-spirited, obvious and pointless, and most importantly I put the “black comedy” in quotes because in addition to not being very black, it’s not funny in any way, and unlike regular anime comedy I can’t even see what’s supposed to be funny.

Ouija: Origins Of Evil (2016)

Before diving into this prequel to a disastrously terrible original, I want to talk for a minute about Mike Flanagan. Despite seeing and enjoying a number of his films (I even put Hush on my best of list for the year), I still don’t feel confident enough in him as a director to trust a film on his name alone. It took me a while to figure out why but I think I finally pinned it down: Flanagan seems to exclusively take on projects that horror fans expect to be terrible. Now again, I have enjoyed pretty much all the films of his I have seen. But I went into all of them expecting utter garbage. Oculus is a far from perfect film, but I expected nothing from it and was then surprised when I got some good horror sequences. I feel confident saying Hush is a great film, but I stumbled on it as a straight to Netflix horror outing I watched on a wing and a prayer.

In other words, Flanagan has never made a film that I went into expecting greatness that was delivered. Instead, I have always expected garbage and ended up being pleasantly surprised. Now this isn’t exactly his fault or a direct criticism of his output. One assumes he takes the projects he is given and hasn’t managed to get his own passion projects made as of yet. But it does leave me hesitant to fully back him as a great director until he gives us something truly special as opposed to a competent outing that comes across as great due to how low our expectations were set.

That is certainly true of this film as my expectations could not have been lower for this film. The original Ouija film was utter garbage and the idea that we were getting a prequel to add depth to a mythology I could give a fuck about sounded like a money grab if ever there was one. Then I started hearing people claim that it was actually pretty good. I couldn’t really believe it, but enough people (both friends and critics) told me it was worth the watch and finally I caved it and sat down to check it out.

They were right. This film is totally fun. Now it isn’t breaking any molds or anything. The influence of James Wan and the new wave of popcorn horror is all over this film. I don’t even need to provide you a synopsis because you already know exactly what this movie is gonna be. Two kids and a mom in a house, kids starts channeling something through a Ouija board, seems OK at first and then it goes wrong (revealing a history to the house no one knew about). Needless to say, Ouija: Origins Of Evil plays it pretty safe and relies on tried and true horror tropes to structure its plot and execution, though there are a few impressive flourishes to keep it interesting (the bungee sequence in the climax in particular got an appreciative nod out of me).

But you know what, it works. And let’s be honest, relying on tropes in no way guarantees a good film (see the first film for proof of that fact). But Flanagan knows how to use those tropes effectively and with a sense of fun in the scares. Because yeah, creepy little kids saying creepy shit to people while the music drops out straight to camera is well worn territory. There were times watching this that I could almost see him showing this child actor the “you’re gonna die up there” Exorcist scene and instructing her to be like that but more happy about it. But I didn’t care that I could see the influences because that kid nailed the scene and it was equal parts metal and creepy.

So all credit where credit is due, but don’t go in expecting anything special here. This film has a lot of flaws as well. The plot is obvious, the effects often rely on bad CGI and the PG13 rating gives it a sanitized feel that suits profit margins more than artistic choices. But none of those issues ever truly sink this film. In the end, Flanagan likely deserves the credit for that because everything about this movie implies it is going to be bad. But out of the mire, he has again managed to pull something enjoyable. While grinding out fun genre outing for studios may never put Flanagan on the level of a Carpenter or a Craven, it is also not a bad way to make a living and a service I appreciate as a fan.

And who knows, a spotlight like that might cause him to wilt and go the way of M. Night Shyamalan and maybe Flanagan doesn’t want anything to do with that kind of pressure. In some ways it is selfish of me to demand a working director who has never really done me wrong to put himself in the crosshairs and potentially ruin his career by taking a big swing and a miss on a groundbreaking horror film that jaded and cynical nerds like me will then shit all over and say “I knew he couldn’t hack it.” The practical part of me recognizes that and respects it. But the fan in me thinks that it is possible that someone who can spin straw into gold (or at least highly convincing plated silver) might well be able to give us something really special if given the opportunity. Until then, I’ll continue to enjoy his ability to make films that somehow defy all the odds and capitalize on my utter lack of expectations.

3.5 out of 5 cats.

@maxvesta replied to your post:

me and @hugecheeto in comp every time our rein’s...

i usually can’t play healer in comp bc for some reason every time i do it HAPPENS to be on a team that doesn’t deal damage well T_____T let me be zenyatta

this is like my first time playing comp and me and my brother make a great healing duo hahaha so we trust our other players and they always pull through for us? seeing a zen and ana always seems to guarantee a good reinhardht player...like im still learning the ropes and im not amazing but our heals last round were......insANE...

i think to be a zen in comp and to be safe....you gotta have another healer with you mainly cause zen is so garbage at healing...if anything he’s just...there to output discord orbs..... i hope you get the chance to play zen in comp.... : ^ )

Optimizing SEAD for Secure Distributed Hash Tables

SEAD, the Secure Efficient Ad hoc Distance vector routing protocol, is a recent secure ad-hoc routing protocol designed to use symmetric cryptographic primitives almost exclusively. Relying on symmetric cryptography, rather than asymmetric often requires 3 to 4 orders of magnitude less computation with a negligible increase in storage or network overhead.

However, while there has been a lot of work to make SEAD as efficient as possible, the application of distributed hash tables presents several problems that SEAD in its current form isn't equipped to handle. Mainly, that SEAD has no way to purge old entries from routing tables. However, it also must be decided if the protocol should be optimized to reduce time complexity or to reduce space complexity, because (as would be expected) the two goals sharply conflict.

It's best to have read the original paper on SEAD, along with the author's followup, first.

Reducing Time Complexity

Reducing the time complexity of the protocol has been the goal of most previous optimizations proposed for SEAD because nodes in the network are often assumed to have extremely limited processing capabilities.

The primary way to bound verification overhead is to, instead of having one long hash chain, have a hash chain for each sequence number up to some upper bound and then commit to all of them at the same time through the use of a Merkle tree. The root of the Merkle tree along with a tag noting the sequence numbers this tree is valid for can then be signed with a more expensive primitive, like a digital signature.

A MW-Chain can also be added as the last value committed to by the tree. When a tree has expired, a new one can be generated and then authenticated with a signature produced by the MW-Chain. If published along with a proof that the root value of the MW-Chain was committed to by the previous Merkle tree, a node who has already verified an asymmetric signature on the previous tree can prove the new tree is valid by checking that the MW-Chain was committed to by the previous tree and that it correctly signs the new root.

MW-Chains have the advantage that, because each tree only authenticates its own successor, the sequence numbers that each are valid for don't need to be authenticated in any way. However, if a node misses an entire tree-worth of sequence numbers (due to rapid updates, attempted attacks, or even if the node has just joined a long-standing network), the node will have to resort to verifying the asymmetric signature.

Computation, then, is only reduced in the absence of an attacker and a node can still be overwhelmed by being forced to verify an arbitrarily large number of invalid asymmetric signatures. It should be noted, however, that the required computation is still much less than the original method.

It should be reiterated that it's important the sequence numbers a Merkle tree is valid for be signed along with the root of the tree to prevent an attacker from providing old/expired trees as authentication for higher sequence numbers. In a similar spirit, when proving commitment to a value, most implementations of Merkle trees specify whether each value along the way to the root should be put on the left or the right. These markers can be used to verifiably id each committed value, such that the first committed value is the anchor of the hash (tree) chain that authenticates sequence number 0, the second committed value is the only anchor that authenticated sequence number 1, and so on. For example, if each given value in the proof is marked to go on the right, then the anchor is on the far left--id number 0--therefore, it is the anchor for the hash (tree) chain of sequence number 0.

Given all of this, each entry in a node's routing table, will contain something along the lines of:

metric - An unsigned integer. Metric. Measures the distance from the source.

sq - An unsigned integer. Sequence number.

next - A neighbor's node ID. Next node on the shortest path to this destination.

element - A SHA1 auth. Either from a hash chain or a hash tree chain.

proof - A set of hashes that proves the anchor of the current hash (tree) chain is committed to by the root.

verification - A MW-Chain signature and a proof that the public key was committed to by the previous root. Cheap verification.

signature - An asymmetric signature of the current root and the sequence numbers this tree is valid for. Expensive verification.

In the entry, anchor and root are referenced but never specified. This is because they can be omitted to save space and only negligibly increase the amount of required computation.

The algorithm to verify such an entry--disregarding issues of type and whether or not the offered entry is actually better than the current entry--is:

# max is the maximum length of a hash (tree) chain # num is he number of sequence numbers each tree authenticates # id(proof) derives the id of a value from its proof # applyMT(val, proof) applies a proof to a value. Derives the root of the tree. # applyMWC(msg, sig) applies a MW-Chain signature to a value. Derives the public key. if metric > max then return false if id(proof) isnt (sq % num) then retrun false anchor = H(max - metric, element) # H(n, ...) means chain H(...) n times. root = apply(anchor, proof) newTreeId = floor(sq / num) oldTreeId = floor(table[id].sq / num) # If there's previous and recent record of this peer. # Any entry with a lower sequence number should have been thrown away already. if table[id]? and newTreeId is (oldTreeId + 1) # verification[0] is the MW-Chain signature. # verification[1] is the proof of commitment. # MW-Chains are always the last value. if num isnt id(verification[1]) then return false cand = applyMWC(newTreeId + root, verification[0]) cand = applyMT(cand, verification[1]) # Accept if verification correctly computes the old root. The old root # should be cached, but not sent. ok = cand is table[id].root else if table[id]? and newTreeId is oldTreeId ok = root is table[id].root else # There's no previous/recent record. ok = ... # Verify the asymmetric signature on the root. return ok

Reducing Space Complexity

The optimizations above, while they greatly reduce the amount of computation required, can take anywhere from half a kilobyte to several kilobytes of memory per routing entry depending on the configuration of the network and the efficiency of the language's implementation. Granted, nodes in the network might not have an excess of processing capability, but in the event of a network with several million connected nodes, such large entries aren't practical either. Hence, it may be worthwhile to establish a lower bound on the size of an individual routing entry.

The above schema does a fairly good job of omitting unneeded data, so by stripping the performance optimizations, we get a schema along the lines of:

metric - Rarely exceeds 255, yielding uint8.

sq - Can be arbitrarily large, capped at uint32.

next - A neighbor's node ID. A convenient trick is to use the node's ID as its public key. A 112-bit elliptic curve yields a 14 byte public key.*

element - A SHA1 hash. Yields 20 bytes.

signature - An asymmetric signature of the anchor and the sequence numbers this chain is valid for. Yields 56 bytes.

While a 112-bit elliptic curve isn't typically considered secure, the last known published attack on a 112-bit curve used an excess of computer resources and took approximately four months. While this would be a threat to long-lived keys, nodes in an ad-hoc network are so ephemeral they rarely use the same key for more than a few hours.

Summing up the sizes of each field shows that an entry is 95 bytes in its most space-efficient form. In 2GB of memory, we can store approximately 22 million unique peer records. This is disregarding space required by any caches, other control structures, and the memory of the application itself (which may grow in parallel with the routing table)--not to mention that periodically dumping 2GB of records to N peers is completely impractical as well.

However, through more interactive protocols, it is possible to reduce the bandwidth used in periodic updates. The first that comes to mind is only publishing a node's id, metric, and sequence number (perhaps some other data as well). The receiving node can then, with very little effort, determine if an entry should be requested for full verification.

An alternative method that could be implemented would be something similar to Dynamo's Replica Synchronization, where each node's entire routing table is committed to by a Merkle tree. For two nodes to determine if their tables are synchronized, they simply need to verify that the root nodes of the Merkle trees equal. If not, they can (in logarithmic time and space) identify which entries differ by following any discrepancies down to the foot of the tree. Granted, this approach might be difficult to implement in a way that's resistant to protocol breaches.

Adding Disconnects to SEAD

At the moment, SEAD accumulates old records of disconnected peers in the event that the peer has simply changed position in the network, and that new routing entries containing information on the peer's location will arrive. However, in the vast majority of P2P protocols, it's essential that nodes have a way to purge old data to preserve resources.

The answer turns out to be fairly succinct: on the creation of each routing entry, a timestamp should be added and signed by any authentication mechanisms (the verification and signature keys in the above schemas). If the newest record a node has of a peer (or a record the node has been sent by an adjacent peer) is reported older than its TTL, then the node can freely discard the entry. This method enforces the strictest practical definition of "being connected": some node in the network has the private key belonging to this public key and is performing the minimum required work of keeping its routing entry updated. Of course, loose time synchronization is required for disconnects to reliably work, meaning there needs to be a cluster-wide trusted time server for nodes to synchronize with at startup.

For a node to prevent itself from being discarded by the network, it must periodically push up its sequence number at minimum once per X seconds (as defined by the cluster). Calculating the TTL then, is as follows:

In the simple, space-efficient schema in section two, a new signature is calculated for each sequence number, so the TTL is simply:

TTL = max(interval, (m * period)) + grace

Where interval is the interval on which nodes should increase their sequence number, m is the maximum network diameter, period is the interval on which nodes dump their routing tables to each other, and grace is a (usually small) extra delay to account for other possible delays in the network. This TTL should slightly over-approximate the maximum amount of time it can take a node to completely distribute an updated routing entry.

In the time-efficient schema, however, a timestamp can't be verified on each increase in sequence number--only each time one tree is exchanged for another, leading to systematically greater TTLs (albeit, not by enough to nullify all the advantages the ability to purge entries offers). The TTL is then defined as:

TTL = max((n * interval), (m * period)) + grace

Where n is the number of sequence numbers each tree commits to.

Forced Together

People don't seem like they're worth much if you're as misanthropic as me. It's nothing personal. Well, it could be depending on the person. Regardless, gleefully hating your fellow man is a matter of respect, as everyone is free to pursue their own lives while left the hell alone. It's those who claim to love each other you have to fear, as they're full of creepy ideas on how to improve our days by law.

Confiscating personality is a pet policy of those who see life as communal. Of course, those who minimize individual units are full of themselves, an irony magnified by their own incompetence. The very folks who claim to be bravely fighting exploitation are the ones selling out their fellow man by subjugating us to the whims of useless power.

Alleged independent beings are nothing more than cogs in a machine designed to fund government. That's the legal definition of our species. Its parts shouldn't anticipate retaining so much. There's quite a bit of whining from beings who are supposed to think of nothing but the whole.

Why are you selling things: to make money? Knock it off, you selfish goons. Businesses are expected to employ because everyone needs money, and you shouldn't favor others being starving and homeless. The countless conditions of daring to give someone something to do for cash have made finding work trickier. But at least we can pretend life features guarantees.

Figuring out a just level of compensation is a private matter. You're certainly free to pursue the benefits of your choosing. It helps if you're good at what you're hoping to do for a living. Such elitism irks equality fans. Similarly, voluntary negotiation frightens governmental nannies who don't like the notion of individual skill spreading about. Instead, they want a requirement to pay 15 bucks per hour to man a register before paying for maternity leave and child care. Next, they wonder why there aren't many jobs that pay well after slapping on innumerable mandates.

Those who see fellow humans as nothing more than tax-paying vessels are always on the cusp of ingenuity. Contempt extends to those who dare offer products everyone buys, which is why revenue hoarders only praise business activity for how much tax revenue it'll produce. Don't expect credit, but keep working hard to fund their welfare state dreams.

Confiscating much of what's earned creates the very need for redirected compassion. Not forcing anyone to pay for garbage they'd never buy on their own? Why, that almost sounds moral. On top of encouraging success, retaining cash would allow for subversive independence. Higher pay puts one person above another just for competence.

The theoretical and practical reasons for letting individuals go off by themselves make the squad feel sad. You don't want to hang out with us? But seeking personal credit happens naturally. People allowed to retain profits will more than make up for fantastically inefficient social spending by bureaucrats removed from the profit motive.

Cut tax rates for more revenue for the kind of magic that actually works. Ta-da! Spurring economic activity by not interfering with it bothers those who meddle on our behalf. Thinking that removing competition is what keeps prices low would be adorable were it not so harmful. The Department of Motor Vehicles clerk seems motivated to provide stellar service.

You’ll note freedom is missing from discussions of what Americans contribute to government. But that's just what a selfish defender of independent thought would say. Contrarians should surrender their stupid identities. We are all part of the same unit, explain slackers who are renowned for ineptitude. Fusing together is about more than demanding credit from what members achieve: you'll also be expected to include a sizable check.

Work is a way to contribute more to the hive's slush fund. Maximize each comrade's output to make us all happy. We'll have more for glorious pothole repairs unless you let yourself be demotivated by losing so much of your income.

Fealty to the group inevitably leads to lower standards. Seeing humanity in the first person plural turns us into unproductive bores. The creepy sorts who favor relinquishing work rewards for common usage also believe it takes the majority of income to create a functioning society. The Earth will spin off its axis if the top species on it gets greedy. What: are you against police and schools?

A nurturing government just can't let us settle our own matters by freeing up persons to spend and decide in matters that reflect personal decisions. Thanks to their coerced meddling, the total is reduced even as the percentage increases. There's less to go around, but it beats working for a portion.

Each week, members of the Place to Be Nation staff come together to watch a professional wrestling show from the past as a group. As they watch and interact, they also track their grades and overall thoughts in various categories along the way. We will regularly be bringing you their output here in a variety of projects and entries.

Anarchy Rulz 1999 (Viewed October 4, 2018)

Card: Jerry Lynn vs. Lance Storm Jazz vs. Tom Marquez Chris Chetti & Nova vs. Simon Diamond & Tony DeVito Super Crazy vs. Taijiri vs. Little Guido Sabu vs. Justin Credible Masato Tanaka vs. Mike Awesome vs. Taz – ECW World Title Match Tommy Dreamer & Raven vs. Rhino & Steve Corino – ECW Tag Team Title Match Rob Van Dam vs. Balls Mahoney – ECW TV Title Match

What Worked

JT Rozzero: Tanaka’s outfit is so very 1998; Dawn Marie hache mache; Smarmy Lance Storm showing some bravado and personality was cool to see; Storm working Jerry Lynn’s ribs; Baller Jazz; Classic ECW flowing from one match into another bridged by a quick angle; Danny Doring’s bomb ass pink tights; New Jack wrecking shit; Big Fucking Sal E; Give me Tajiri vs. Crazy vs. Guido all day; Crazy’s perfect moonsault into the crowd; The ref working so hard to get Guido’s dead body out of the ring; Tajiri is amzing; Sabu just doing whatever the fuck he wants to his body and Credible’s; Credible getting splattered across a table and just sliding down in a heap; The streamers for Tanaka were cool; Taz telling the fans to shut the fuck up and the wild build to Awesome getting added to the match; Taz gathering all the heat and then getting knocked out of the match right away and then walking away in near tears; The crowning of Awesome; The in depth recap of Dreamer vs. Raven; Francine smashing Jack Victory with a chair; Main event was fine but anticlimactic

Tyler Kelley: This is DIFFERENT than WWE’s been for 15ish years (different look, feel, pacing and style) and it’s a breath of fresh air. Lance Storm and Jerry Lynn have a really good technical opener. Tajiri kicking people’s fucking heads off. Tajiri/Super Crazy/Guido is a super smooth, fun match. Also, Tajiri’s brainbuster, and Tajiri overall, f’n rules. Sabu’s bat-shit crazy high-flyin’ crash and burn style and connection with the crowd. The on-the-fly addition of Mike Awesome to the title match giving you a feeling that anything can happen. Awesome and Tanaka killing themselves and each other for our viewing pleasure. Awesome looks like a motherfucking killer here (as opposed to the Fat Chick Thriller he became once the WCW marketing geniuses got a hold of him), Raven’s promo and the Raven-Dreamer video package, RVD looks like a huge star compared to everyone else on this PPV, RVD has the “It” factor.

Trent Williams: The team of Cyrus & Joey Styles on commentary, while Joey was great on his own for all those years it never hurts to have a second man in the booth to interact with and Cyrus was the perfect choice. Really good opener with two all time underrated talents. The international three way, because any match with Tajiri and Super Crazy going against each other is guaranteed to be good. The pre-match shenanigans with Taz and Mike Awesome. Taz leaving the promotion with class and the entire locker room coming out to thank him. Axl Rotten getting the fans to quit chanting “Fuck you Taz” and telling them to get on their feet for all Taz did for ECW. The crazy match Awesome and Tanaka put on after Taz was eliminated early. The video package recapping the Dreamer vs Raven feud. RVD getting a good match out of a guy that is usually nothing more than a brawling garbage wrestler. Majority of the show was really good and definitely the best show we have watched for the Live Watch Project yet.

Tim Slomka: First time I’ve ever watched a ECW PPV and what I got what I expected with crazy hardcore spots, booking as quick as possible, crazy crowd chants; Dawn’s dress; “Is there a real pair in the business” line; giving Tazz a quality send off (can’t think of another wrestler who go that who wasn’t retiring); Lita; Epic feel of title match, including most wrestlers on the ramp for it (this is my favorite thing); all the performers who really gave their bodies for ECW, some of the spots were stupid, this isn’t my cup of tea, but A+ for effort from these guys and girls – especially Jazz.

Jacob Williams: Hot opener with great fire, selling, and an overall crispness you don’t always get from ECW; Keeping the big garbage brawl pretty short; Overall solid commentary with some great Cyrus lines -”He could be Sal’s suppository”; Super Crazy’s beautiful moonsault into the crowd; All of Tajiri’s offense; ECW elimination rules for triple threat; Sabu/Justin Credible bringing some ECW ridiculousness to show; Epic feel of the ECW title match; Awesome being added last minute; The #hossfight after Taz is eliminated; Tanaka taking some insane bumps; Overall presentation and execution of the world title match; Bringing up years-old footage to build up Raven; RVD’s charisma

Stacey O’Loughlin: Lance Storm being near his peak here; Jerry Lynn selling the ribs; a Jazz sighting; the neverending tag team clusterfuck with the run ins; a Lita sighting; New Jack fucking shit up; Super Crazy and Tajiri working like madmen; Sabu being Sabu; the crazy ass ECW Title booking; Awesome and Tanaka continuing to try to murder each other; the nice Taz send off; skinny Steve Corino; young Rhino; JOEL GERTNER; the Dreamer/Raven recap; RVD being RVD; Balls getting to have a workrate match; the overall chaotic ECW feel; and above all, Jennifer Smith discovering ECW before our very eyes

Logan Crosland: Jerry Lynn and Lance Storm tearing it up in the opener; Cyrus and Joey are great on commentary; Two awesome three way matches; Taz got a great send off; Both of the garbage matches were short; RVD being over like rover; Raven/Dreamer rivalry recap

Neil Trama: Lance Storm’s RASSLIN; wild three-way-dance craziness; even more wild world championship three-way-dance craziness; Taz’s send off; Justin Credible, Rhino and skinny Steve Corino; RVD’s main event aura

Steve Riddle: CYRUS THE VIRUS!!, This felt like a big show for ECW just weeks after getting on national TV; this was easily Lance Storm’s best stretch sans his WCW run in 2000; gotta love the ECW crowds and their chants; Jazz is ECW’s version of Chyna on a smaller scale; Angelica looking good before she became Lita; Danny Doring and Roadkill were a very underrated tag team; New Jack, SAL E. GRAZ, Tajiri + Super Crazy + Little Guido = utter awesomeness; Steve Corino, Jack Victory, and Rhino are a unique trio; only Credible would take a forfeit win and celebrate like he won the world title; Sabu still has dangerous as ever, big showing of faith for Awesome to make him the new champion; Awesome and Tanaka still have great chemistry, cool moment having the roster on the ramp to see Taz off and cool seeing Taz put Awesome over strong; pretty cool seeing the history of the Dreamer/Raven feud even though it ended two years ago; Rhino looking spry and full of energy; the Impact Players were pretty awesome by this point; at least Balls Mahoney seemed like more of a threat to RVD than Johnny Smith; clearly having RVD in the last match shows he’s the big star for ECW now

What Didn’t Work

JT Rozzero: Jerry Lynn’s awkward DDT onto a chair, the positioning was off and looked forced; Simon Diamond looks like a cross between a basic CAW and a tiny regional indy opening match dude here; Tom Marquez’s absurd selling; Nova in green; Jason still hanging around doing the same shit, but with a goatee; Justin Credible beating down the ring announcer felt a bit forced, like him as a whole; Credible using “suck it”; Credible as ECW’s Triple H; “You Sold Out” chants; As insane and wild as they were at the time, the chairshots to Tanaka are tough to watch; Jeff Jones is a clown; I wasn’t feeling Tommy Dreamer’s promo; Fans didn’t seem very into Raven at all; The World Title match should have closed the show, the crowd was burned after that; Balls Mahoney never felt like a legit threat and as a result the main event felt more like an exhibition showcase

Tyler Kelley: Holy shit is Simon Diamond a tool, he makes Justin Diamond look cool. Diamond insulting Jazz’s “flat chest and ghetto booty.” Simon SHOULDN’T say (anything really.) I have no idea who the babyfaces or heels were in the tag team match? Matches? General clusterfuck mess? I’m not even sure what matches to rank, people just kept coming out of the dressing room and I have no clue what the feuds were if there were any feuds. Justin Credible’s half-shirt-jorts combo, which might be his worst look since he wore a jockstrap on his face. Also he wore a mask as Aldo Montoya, but that’s unrelated. Justin Credible’s offense. Dreamer/Raven vs. Corino/Rhyno match. Axl Rotten promo as the show structure as the show fell off a cliff after the Taz/Awesome/Tanaka match. Closing the show with a Balls Mahoney match. RVD hadn’t quite pared the stupid out of his offense (like carrying a chair in a flip only to drop it to be powerbombed on it later or doing an Asai moonsault to land on his feet and pick up a chair). RVD/Balls match about 15 minutes too long. Ended show on a cold note compared to vibe after title match.

Trent Williams: The entire cluster that happened between Simon Diamond making his entrance and New Jack leaving the ring, all of that took away from this being in consideration for one of the best PPVs of all time. The promo Simon Diamond cuts on Jazz doesn’t age well. The ECW Tag Team Championship match had a chance to be good on paper, but it was over before it really began, although there was a great match between Raven and the ring ropes as he tried to enter the ring. The ECW Championship match not closing the show as wrapping up the show with the end of one era (Taz) and the beginning of a new era (Mike Awesome) would’ve been a great thing to have as the main event, RVD vs Balls wasn’t great enough or memorable enough to close the show. If they had done a RVD vs Jerry Lynn match then I would’ve been fine with the TV Title closing the show, but not Balls.

Tim Slomka: The whole second match being an overbooked mess; random music just playing mid match; the bell ringing throughout; beating up of Jazz doesn’t look so good either; although there is a great comment by them: “Are we off format again”; chair shots to the head; the music; main event being heatless (though I don’t mind the Tazz match in the middle); this was the era, but way to many kickouts of finish moves, especially in the Sabu match; the whistle

Jacob Williams: Missing member of Lit; Simon Diamond and his sideburns; The complete mess of brawl with New Jack and friends; Most people in the brawl looking like jobbers; Sabu and Justin Credible dragging on too long; Ending with RVD vs. Balls; The brutal chair shots to the head through 2018 eyes; Justin Credible as a big time heel; Dreamer’s overly babyface promo feels off for the tone of ECW; Uncomfortably misogynist crowd responses

Stacey O’Loughlin: Dorks like Simon Diamond, Tom Marquez, Tony DeVito and Jason hanging around; Justin Credible; all of the disgusting chairshots right to the brain cells; Network overdubs; not knowing what was happening half the time; the last couple matches being an anticlimax; misogyny

Logan Crosland: The whole second match mess with Simon Diamond and Jazz; New Jack’s existence; Credible going over Sabu; Not ending with the world title three way; If you weren’t going to end with that, you need to choose someone better than Balls to go against RVD; Raven not being more involved with the tag match

Neil Trama: The tag team match that ended with 30 random guys getting in the ring; New Jack’s overdubbed Network music; Balls Mahoney in the main event; peak-1999 gratuitous bullshit chairshots and man on woman violence

Steve Riddle: Why is Simon Diamond around?; obviously seeing man on woman violence in 2018 feels so wrong when it was well accepted in 1999; flowing from one segment to the next was fine once in a while, but ECW went way overboard with it at times; Nova wearing a Green Lantern ripoff outfit; using a staple gun was way too much; Justin Credible: ECW’s most overrated superstar; a bit weird Awesome was added at the last minute and having the ECW Title match in the middle of the show; tough for ECW to lose their top star only a few weeks after losing their top tag team in the Dudleyz; I get Taz was leaving but he was made to look like a bitch here losing so quickly; Dreamer and Raven as Tag Champions just doesn’t feel right as they feel like natural rivals; as great as Francine is, her as Dreamer’s valet seems bizarre as no one can replace Beulah; random time for Axl Rotten to call out Mike Awesome; RVD/Balls should probably been in the middle of the show and not the last match; to do a bit of fantasy booking I would’ve had Taz retain the title and have a unification match with RVD at the next PPV where he puts RVD over clean as the new top face of ECW

Match of the Night

JT Rozzero: Tajiri vs. Super Crazy vs. Little Guido Tyler Kelley: Tajiri vs. Super Crazy vs. Little Guido Trent Williams: Tajiri vs. Super Crazy vs. Little Guido Tim Slomka: Awesome vs Tanaka vs Taz Jacob Williams: Awesome vs Tanaka vs Taz Stacey O’Loughlin: Tajiri vs. Super Crazy vs. Little Guido Logan Crosland: Awesome vs Tanaka vs Taz Neil Trama: Tajiri vs. Super Crazy vs. Little Guido Steve Riddle: Tajiri vs. Super Crazy vs. Little Guido

The Only 4 Muscle Building Supplements You’ll Ever Need

The fitness supplement industry is making billions every year with countless supplements being put on the market, causing a real headache for people who are beginners and just starting out with fitness on what the best choice is. The fact is that the majority of the supplements are garbage, and won’t help you at all. Buying them will only make supplement companies richer and nothing more.

The majority of people have so many questions buzzing through their heads on what to take, how much to take, is it too much, is it enough. A lot of conflicting information, many outrageous claims, it’s a real mess.

People get so caught up in this process that they fail to realize that the number one priority aren’t supplements, but a sound nutrition plan. The name itself says it. They are meant to supplement your diet, not comprise the bulk of it. That’s why you need to have a good diet plan first and then worry about what supplements to choose.

Your diet should already be comprised of healthy foods, like lean meats, vegetable, and fruits. After you’ve sorted out your diet and have chosen a good workout routine, you are ready to look into proper supplementation that will help you achieve your goals faster.

This article is meant to help you do just that. To sort out the mess and point out the only supplements that are worthwhile and take you to your ideal physique as fast as possible.

1. Omega-3 fish oil

It has already been proven that while we consume more than enough omega-6 fatty acids in our diet, the fact is that almost everyone is deficient in omega-3. Taking omega-3 fish oil will not only improve your performance in the gym, it will also improve your overall health, as evidenced by hundreds of studies. Taking into consideration that our bodies can’t take enough omega-3 from seafood, we are required to start taking a supplement which will give us the sufficient amount

Taking omega-3 will provide you with numerous benefits like decreased inflammation, increased heart health, improved cognitive functions and decreased chances of depression development. It’s important to note that before you buy an omega-3 fish oil supplement you should first examine the label. Choose the product that has a high content of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).

These two acids will improve the functionality of cells’ membranes, especially the DHA, decrease the chances of developing a cardiovascular disease since it’ll decrease oxidative stress and will relieve depression since the two acids are precursors to the feel-good hormones, dopamine, and serotonin.

If you can’t seem to find an omega-3 fish oil supplement, try any of the following foods which are full of it and will give you (almost) the same benefits: salmon, spinach, flaxseed, walnuts or chia seeds.

2. Multivitamins

Multivitamins have all the micronutrients that our bodies need in order to function properly. When buying a multivitamin, you should make sure that it contains these vitamins: Vitamin A, B, B12, C, D, E, and K. Every vitamin has its own unique benefits. Here are some of the benefits of each of the vitamins:

Vitamin A: Increases the health of your bones and their proper growth.

Vitamin B, as well as B Complex: Increases the production of energy and general energy output.

Vitamin C: Improves the immune system and improves the production of nitric oxide.

Vitamin D: Functions in synergy with calcium to create healthy bones and teeth. It’s also known to prevent certain illnesses.

Vitamin E: Decreases the amount of “bad” cholesterol.

Vitamin K: Prevents blood clots.

Taking a multivitamin which includes all of the vitamins above will have a tremendous positive impact on your overall health. Additionally, it will lead to improved performance in the gym.

Vitamin D

We’ve reserved a special place for Vitamin D. Vitamin D is also a crucial micronutrient to your diet and chances are you are deficient in it. Well, at least, depending on where you live. You might ask why location is a factor here. That’s because vitamin D is available through the Sun’s rays. Despite it being found in products like egg yolks, beef liver and certain types of fish, it’s very likely that you don’t like these foods and don’t want to eat, let alone ever considered to include them into your diet. Which leaves you with the most abundant source of Vitamin D, our Sun. What if you’re living in a country that doesn’t have many sunny days? Are you doomed? Of course not. That’s why we have the Vitamin D supplement. Unless, of course, you weren’t planning on moving to a sunnier country.

3. Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine Monohydrate is perhaps one of the most debated supplements in the industry. The debate is usually about its effectiveness or alleged side effects. Within the fitness community itself, there have always been various opinions, with some claiming that it is a harmful compound, especially for younger people. Despite the fact that everyone has their own opinion, or should we say, superstitions, this is simply not the case with creatine.

Creatine monohydrate is a substance that is naturally found in our bodies which helps with the ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) production. ATP is an energy source which our bodies use when we are experiencing short and intense muscle contraction bursts which make it ideal for resistance training.

Basically, ATP is required for any muscular contraction. If the muscle needs to contract more during a lifting set, then more ATP is used. Taking creatine monohydrate will increase ATP availability and will create more effective muscle contractions. What’s more, it has become a popular notion that taking creatine monohydrate will force your body to hold too much water which will give you a ‘bloated’ look. Again, not true.

While it’s true that creatine will use water, it will use it to your advantage. The additional creatine will take the water and pull it inside the muscle cell, increasing its efficiency while creating a fuller and loaded muscle. This can be very convenient for people who are on a cutting diet and don’t want to look too slim. A generally recommended dose for men and women alike is 5 to 10 grams a day.

4. Whey protein

Whey protein is the most important supplement one could implement in their diet. If you are wondering what supplement to buy first, always opt for whey protein. Whey protein is actually a byproduct of dairy and the most common form you can find on the market is whey protein powder which is most commonly mixed with some kind of liquid (water, milk, juice, fruits) to make a delicious protein shake. Protein consumption is the most important dietary rule for all those looking to experience maximal muscle gains.

It is very important that you measure your total protein consumption on a daily basis. What you should strive for is consuming one gram of protein per one pound of your bodyweight. Of course, this intake recommendation can change based on your level of physical activity, one gram per pound is the general recommended daily dose. For many people, trying to hit their daily protein goal is a hard task, which is why whey protein consumption is an excellent and convenient way to get fast-digestible protein at any time, any place. We recommend you try our two suggestions below on how to make delicious protein meals:

Whey protein shake: Mix one to two scoops of your favorite protein taste with half a liter of liquid, like milk or water. The best time to consume this meal is one hour to 30 minutes after working out, to feed your starved muscles with fast-acting protein or whenever you like as a meal replacement so that you can reach your daily protein goal.

Protein porridge: Some would call this the perfect breakfast. First, take a bowl and add the preferred amount of oats in it and mix it with water thoroughly. Once you’ve given it a good mix, put it in the microwave and let it cook for two and a half minutes until it gets a smooth texture. Afterward, add some berries, one whey protein scoop and one tablespoon of peanut butter. Total calories for this meal are 390, protein content is 32 grams, carb content is 40 and fat 13.

Protein ice cream: Mix together two whey protein scoops, 500 grams of low-fat cottage cheese and whatever fruit you want most. Our suggestions are any kind of berries and bananas. Put the mixture into a Tupperware and put it in the freezer for two hours until it becomes solid. Then, take it out of the freezer, take the lid off and stir it to make sure that the blend is frozen evenly. Repeat this until the blend is ready.

Conclusion

As we said previously, once you have your diet and training dialed in, you can then start adding certain supplements if you want to achieve your desired goals faster. Just as with anything related to fitness, taking them on a consistent basis will yield the best results. If you are to experience their full benefits, you must take them at a regular time. Always be accountable for your actions to yourself, be consistent in everything you do, enjoy the journey, and success is guaranteed.
