And owners are lately deciding to enforce because they’re able to have a revival of selling these games on mobile."īut as Kane pointed out, if there’s no company to stand up and claim ownership of the game, it’s likely that nothing will happen to a gamer who downloads an emulated version. People might tolerate the emulation of certain games, … but if the actual owner decides to enforce against you, then you would be in the wrong. It comes down to enforcement, at the end of the day. “Someone owns it, but determining that chain of title is often difficult. “If it was a real video game company - and the games people cared about were from real video game companies - someone bought those assets…out of bankruptcy,” Boyd explained. Thus, downloading it from a ROM hosting site would be a form of copyright infringement. ![]() “There are no hard-and-fast categories, but you’re on somewhat safer ground there, especially if the game is no longer sold and there’s no easy way to get it in playable form,” Stoltz said.īut often, defunct companies’ assets are purchased, so even if the company no longer exists, some other firm may own the right to their game(s). In these cases, there’s a stronger claim for emulating to fall under fair use. One reason people may seek an emulated ROM game is because the company that made it no longer exists, making the title hard to find. “The nostalgic early video games are probably going to be under copyright until at least when their original players are in their 60s and 70s,” Boyd said. ![]() Plus, every 20-30 years copyright statutes are reevaluated. Things like where and when the game was made and who owns it are all factors. You can see how much situations vary here. Determining exactly how long a video game copyright can last is complicated, though. Gregory Boyd, partner and co-chair of the Interactive Entertainment Group at Frankfurt Kurnit. But Kane could not immediately think of any examples of companies doing this over emulated video games.Īnd if you’re waiting for some of the oldest games to enter the public domain, you’ll be waiting for a while - “decades, and decades and decades,” according to S. Kane noted, however, that there are companies that take these things “very seriously,” and there have been cases where companies sued individuals for downloading something, even if it was for non-commercial use. ![]() “I think it’d be rare and approaching never that they go after individual downloaders,” he said. Mitch Stoltz, senior staff attorney at Electronic Frontier Foundation, agreed that solitary gamers probably won’t be served by a company like Nintendo. “The reality of the situation is if you’re downloading it for personal use and you’re not commercializing it any way, a company may not ever find out that you’ve done that, or they might not care too much because it’s not necessarily hurting their bottom line that greatly if it’s just one individual,” Kane said. But should individual gamers/downloaders be worried about getting a summons? Probably not.

This brings up the issue of supporting local businesses. Tucson will be a more vanilla place without the golf course. ![]() I don’t live in Tucson anymore, but it was always nice to see the whimsical sculptures when I went back to visit family. Wow, Magic Carpet always got me jazzed when I was a kid. Thanks for the post, not to mention for making me feel old. It was a cheap date, especially on weeknights, but still a lot of fun (which should tell you something about my social life :-). We used to go to Magic Carpet a lot when I attended college at U of A in the 70’s. My lord, I’m amazed that the place is still around to be demolished. It’s a way to bond with the city and learn more about it, and a good way to keep my camera at work too! I’m looking forward to a few more opportunities like this, documenting pieces of Tucson that have nearly vanished or are in danger of disappearing soon. In any case, I am indebted to the leader of our group, Carlos, who takes a personal interest in the historic pieces of Tucson that are being quickly reduced to parking lots and sterile chain retail stores. (You can see many more photos on my Flickr album.) I can only hope my photos of Magic Carpet Golf will be half as well received by some author in fifty years. That ordinary snapshot becomes a little piece of history preserved.Įvery detail is important: the car they drove, the clothes they wore, the buildings in the background, uniforms, roadways … my authors often pore over such photos for days, looking for tiny clues to how things used to be, so we can share them with the magazine readers. When I find a family photo of someone’s vacation to the Florida Keys or Niagara Falls taken in the 1950s, it’s like finding a nugget of gold. In Airstream Life magazine we regularly publish articles about the history of Airstream, Wally Byam, travel trailer manufacture, and exotic caravans. I guess I’m getting a particular appreciation for this sort of thing because I am often looking for historical photos these days. When that happens, we’ll have the photos, and they will eventually be treasured by someone who wants to see how things looked in the old days. The undulating greens will be smoothed, the dinosaur and giant monkey will be reduced to powder, the buildings will be torn down and the palm trees will be dug up and sold. Someday Magic Carpet Golf will be only a memory. We found decay and mold, rotten wood and torn “greens”, but also a bit of imagination and fantasy. ![]() ![]() The caretaker let us in (by prior appointment) and we wandered through the grounds looking for history and art. ![]() So about a dozen of us went over to take pictures today. Moving that T-Rex would be an operation akin to removing a real 65-million year-old dino fossil. They are delicate and crumbling, made on-site mostly from wire and concrete, and in many cases firmly anchored to the ground. There is talk of moving the sculptures to another location for preservation, but I don’t see how it will be possible. It became rather shabby toward the end, but still the sculptures stand in testimony of decades of service. The entire place was handmade with fantastic concrete sculptures, colored lights, and exotic scenes. Magic Carpet Golf is one of those places that long-time Tucsonians remember dearly from their childhood. It will eventually be razed to become a parking lot. This old course finally closed recently, ending what I believe was a 50+ year stretch of business in Tucson. Today I was lucky enough to join other members of the group “Vanishing Tucson” at Magic Carpet Golf, on East Speedway Blvd. ![]() Others might take two or more, meaning you’ll have to collect more orbs before you can finish them. Some enemies can be executed using one charge. The Swarm Launcher shoots a barrage of fireworks at unlucky enemies. It’s a cool effect that can give you a bit of breathing room during a fight, but was it the best choice given the situation? Well, it depends. For instance, executing an ice-based enemy will allow you use their brain as a freeze bomb. Whenever you execute an enemy in this game, you’ll be rewarded with either a Gore Tool, Weapon or some sort of buff. In Shadow Warrior 3, however, this mechanic is taken a step further with the introduction of Gore items. Fill up a finishing charge by collecting orbs (found in the environment or dropped by enemies) to eventually execute foes for health and ammo. ![]() At first glance, they’re similar to the gory executions found in the recent Doom games. The new finisher system adds an interesting wrinkle. This little mechanic is a superb way of managing ammo during a fight as it negates the sometimes lengthy reloading animation instead of waiting for Lo Want to slowly reload the Crimson Bull (grenade launcher), you can swap between it and the katana to instantly load the weapon while running about. Quick reloading with the katana are especially helpful during boss fights. During that quick switch, from gun to katana and back, the game reloads your weapon. ![]() Hitting the Left Mouse Button/Right Trigger will fire weapons while pressing the Right Mouse Button/Right Bumper will swing your katana (on PC and consoles respectively). Shadow Warrior 3 allows players to quickly swap between the katana and whatever gun you’re currently holding by pressing a corresponding attack button. What makes the katana such a valuable tool though is its ability to reload your guns. It even receives an elemental upgrade that allows it to do electric, fire, and ice damage. This weapon can disembowel enemies in quick fashion. That said, the devs over at Flying Wild Hog made sure to keep certain elements, like melee weapons, at the forefront. Gory kills, environmental hazards, highly kinetic firefights-it’s more akin to Doom Eternal than it is to previous Shadow Warrior games. Shadow Warrior 3 features a revamped combat system. Here are some of the ways you can utilize these tools early on. Thankfully, Shadow Warrior 3 offers a range of tools built around new game mechanics that not only help in staving off death but also to brutally dispatch foes. What makes this task difficult at times is the number and variety of enemies that spawn during a given encounter. ![]() As Lo Wang, you’ll need to know how to properly use an assortment of weapons while engaging in fast-paced combat akin to id Software's Doom. Most of your time in Shadow Warrior 3 will be spent shooting and dodging projectiles in various arena like environments. Essentially, Shadow Warrior 3 offers a wild ride with a few challenging twists and turns. Full of demons, wise-cracking gods, and a protagonist seemingly ripped from a bad grindhouse film, this juvenile but mostly entertaining shooter doesn’t pull its punches. Shadow Warrior 3 is an adrenaline-fueled romp through a violently chaotic world. ![]() A consumer evaluates if its use can result in health problem, and if so, how to avoid such risks. A consumer is interested to evaluate risks to know how to minimize them and if possible to avoid them for example, hair colors and items for make-up contain chemicals.

Major differences between alternatives: High involvement is caused when the consumer notices major differences between alternatives. An example, could be buying a designer product or a car.Ģ. High price: Where the price of the products are high consumers display high involvement. These products represent a mix of rational as well as emotional motivators that contribute to a purchase.ġ. High-involvement products are those that represents the consumer’s finances, personality, status and supporting lifestyle for example, buying a house. High-Involvement Products and their characteristics It is important to know that such involvement encompasses not only the product or service to be purchased but the actual buying process per se as well. While making such purchases, consumers display high or low involvement. The level of involvement reflects how personally important the product or service to be purchased is to the consumer, how interested the consumer is in consuming a product and how much information he wants before making a purchase decision. Depending on a consumer’s experience and knowledge, some consumers may be able to make quick purchase decisions while other consumers may want to get more information and be more involved in the decision process before making a purchase. When buying either products or services, consumers are influenced by a variety of factors. Depicted below is a model of the stages in the consumer decision making process that consumers follow while buying either products or services. ![]()

Results: Though a number of null findings (and one negative relationship) were observed, the majority of studies examined reported positive associations between energy drink consumption and symptoms of mental health problems.Ĭonclusions: Though the findings imply that energy drink use may increase the risk of undesirable mental health outcomes, the majority of research examined utilized cross-sectional designs. Fifty-six articles were retrieved: 20 of these (along with eight more identified through other means) were included in the current review, and, because the majority addressed aspects of stress, anxiety, and depression, particular focus was placed on these outcomes. Case reports were also considered, though empirical studies investigating acute mood effects were excluded as a review of such articles had recently been published. Methods: To review the relevant literature, PubMed and PsycINFO were searched for all peer-reviewed articles published in English that addressed associations between energy drink use and mental health outcomes. Although a certain amount of evidence has accumulated to substantiate some of these claims, the chronic effects of energy drinks on mental health also need to be addressed. The products are frequently marketed with declarations of increasing mental and physical energy, providing a short-term boost to mood and performance. However, if some don't have any of those, we then based on the carb content.Background: Concerns have been expressed regarding the potential for caffeinated energy drinks to negatively affect mental health, and particularly so in young consumers at whom they are often targeted. Our list is based on caffeine, calories, and sugar content. To help eliminate the guesswork at the grocery, we rounded up the healthy energy drinks on the market-as well as the unhealthiest energy drinks to avoid-to help you make smarter choices for your caffeine boost. "Some energy drinks do list caffeine, but this is not necessarily the total amount of caffeine in the beverage." "The FDA does not require manufacturers to list how much caffeine they add," she says. However, Graham cautions, it's especially important for consumers to keep an eye on the caffeine within energy drinks. Caffeine: In terms of how much caffeine you can enjoy daily, it's best to limit your intake to no more than 400 milligrams. ![]() ![]() "Most energy drinks are under-dosed and contain levels of ingredients that are so low, you won't benefit from their effect," he says. But Roussell reminds us that the benefits of these health boosters are limited. Health-boosting adaptogens: Some energy drinks also infuse certain antioxidants, minerals, and adaptogens to reduce muscle soreness, improve cognitive function, and promote calm.But more B vitamins doesn't make your body do this better, and it isn't something that you can feel," Roussell explains. "B vitamins are put in a lot of energy drinks because they are needed for our body to break down and use the energy found in the foods we eat. However, B vitamins are essential for converting food into energy. "Energizing" vitamins: When it comes to energy drinks fortified with vitamins and antioxidants, Roussell says they're not going to make much of a difference in giving you energy.If you're going higher than that, I would only use it prior to exercise." Added sugar: Roussell says to look for one that "Ideally has zero, but definitely less than 10 grams per 8-ounce serving.When shopping the aisles for an energy drink, there are certain nutritional and ingredient claims to look out for.

Though you’ll track your characters, locations, and so forth elsewhere, the scenes are where you’ll tie them together. Scenes in StoryMill are the building blocks which create chapters and ultimately the story itself (it’s worth noting that you can think of scenes and chapters as whatever content blocks make sense for your story the names don’t really limit the function). The foundation of StoryMill’s approach to writing and organizing is the scene. ![]() To figure out which style, and thus program, is the best choice for you, you’ll need to consider two big questions: what metaphors do you use for writing, and what specific features are most important for you? StoryMill: a novel framework However, for some people the time necessary to set up their own framework in Scrivener is well worth the effort because the program’s flexibility allows them to write most effectively. If StoryMill’s framework makes sense to you and you don’t have an urgent need for any of the features that are Scrivener-only, then StoryMill will be the easiest environment to write in. You can do most of the things in Scrivener that you can in StoryMill (with a few key exceptions), but it will be slightly more effort. In contrast, Scrivener is much more flexible and offers a larger number of features that you can pick and choose from to form your workflow. StoryMill’s approach is to provide you with a specific framework for writing and organizing, complemented with a focused group of powerful features. The truth is that regardless of your genre the deciding factor for which software to use will be a matter of style. The reason the fiction/non-fiction comparison is common is because StoryMill is explicitly focused on fiction (and doesn’t support screenplays at all, since that would steal sales from its companion software Montage) while Scrivener provides a general writing metaphor that can apply to either genre equally well (with limited support for screenplay formatting and footnotes).
