(Never used mozregression before so let me know if you need more details from the log.) Mozregression's last logs: Narrowed inbound regression window from (3 builds) to (2 builds) (~1 steps left)įound commit message: Bug 1503022 - Refactor window and toolbar color handling and make the Dark and Light themes honor the Windows 10 accent color setting. The final autoland bissection was e0555201 - 4ec5f59a of which builds, only b9a0d600 was good. I have provided screenshots (attached) and also a YouTube video which may illustrate the behaviour more clearly: įirefox 65 should behave identically to Firefox 64, with no DWM artifacts.Ĭompleted mozregression tests, the last good build was b9a0d600 in autoland. I am considering rolling back to Firefox 64 for the timebeing but will stay on 65 on at least one affected device so I can provide resources to support this report. This issue is seriously affecting my ability to use Firefox day-to-day, because of the visual artifacting and the broken window functionality. When you interact with the window, the tab strip returns to its proper colour.Īs noted above, I have reproduced all these issues on two devices which upgraded from Firefox 64 to 65 automatically although I do use registry hacks which I consider could have the potential to interfere with windows, removing them has not remedied the issue and Firefox is the only affected application. This appears to occur across all included themes. Occasionally, and it appears usually when switching back to an inactive Firefox window, the window enters a state where the tab strip background becomes solid white, and only favicons remain visible. It's also of note that Firefox Windows do not show up as automatic snap suggestions after snapping one window also illustrated in the video. I say "always," because as indicated in the video below, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't – only Firefox is affected. For example, it is not always possible to snap any Firefox window to the sides of the screen, by dragging it to a side of the screen, or using the Win+ArrowLeft/Win+ArrowRight screenshots. When selecting a Firefox window after it has been inactive, you can momentarily observe the entire basic DWM default titlebar flash at the top of the Firefox window.įirefox windows no longer work with Windows 10 DWM functions. It is visible on the top corners that this border is actually a DWM (Desktop Window Manager) artifact from a basic-styled Windows window you can see in the top-left, despite the clipping, that the Firefox icon is visible, and in the top-right, the default close button is visible. Reproduced on Windows 10 17134 (1803) and also 17763 (1809)Īfter updating to Firefox 65.0, all Firefox windows are surrounded by a permanent white border on the top, left and right sides.Reproduced on 3440x1440 (one monitor in a triple-monitor setup) with GTX 1080 Ti also Surface Pro with Intel Graphics intend to test on further hardware once I get a chance. ![]() ![]() I do use the Windows freeware utility Sizer which assists in resizing/positioning windows (and its current size tooltips are visible in the attached video) again, removing it has had no effect on Firefox. ![]() I am using a custom (black) titlebar colour in Windows 10 (registry edit) I wondered if this may be connected, but reversing this change has had no effect on Firefox. ![]()

The data will be compared to clinical data from the cohorts to help researchers identify the digital measures most closely linked to biological changes. The volunteers will be asked to use a headband to measure sleep and brain activity, an activity tracker to register heart rate and physical activity, and smartphone apps to measure cognitive function, speech, and fine motor control. Up to $2 million of funding will allow the EDoN team to collect digital data from over 600 people who are currently involved in two population-based cohort studies in Australia. Ultimately, the project aims to incorporate the most sensitive and useful measures into an inexpensive and easy-to-use digital Toolkit, likely a combination of apps, wearable or mobile devices, and software. This data will be used to build machine learning models to identify patterns of early disease specific to different neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's. While undetectable to the human eye, these changes can now be picked up by commercially available digital technologies.ĮDoN aims to streamline efforts to collect, integrate and analyse a wealth of digital, clinical and health data to identify behavioural measures that can detect the early stages of disease. Recent research shows that Alzheimer's also causes subtle early changes in aspects of behaviour such as sleep, speech, interactions, and movement. The initiative currently funds over 30 projects around the world, including a number of promising blood tests and eye scanning techniques to detect early biological changes due to Alzheimer's disease. The Diagnostics Accelerator provides funding to fast-track the development of affordable and accessible diagnostic tools and biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. ![]() It brings together global experts in data science, digital technology and neurodegeneration to use measures such as sleep, fine motor control, heart rate, speech, and brain activity to develop digital 'fingerprints' of early disease that could transform dementia research efforts in the future.Īlzheimer's can begin in the brain up to two decades before symptoms start to show, so to give emerging new treatments the best chance of success, doctors need to be able to detect the disease as early as possible and intervene when these treatments could make the greatest difference to people's lives. The funding awarded to the Early Detection of Neurodegenerative diseases (EDoN) initiative is part of the ADDF Diagnostics Accelerator (DxA), a funding initiative that challenges the global research community to innovate new diagnostic technologies for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.ĮDoN is an ambitious project spearheaded by Alzheimer's Research UK, the UK's leading dementia research charity. NEW YORK, J/PRNewswire/ - The Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF), a U.S.- based venture philanthropy, has announced up to $2 million of funding for a collaborative research initiative led by UK charity Alzheimer's Research UK that aims to develop a digital Toolkit of apps and wearables to detect the very earliest stage of Alzheimer's. ![]() ![]() Make your mark on Motocross and add your own special touch to the game!Ī fantastic new Playground lets you explore new landscapes and hone your riding skills.

I have had this game in my collection for quite a long time now, and I have no intentions of parting with it. ![]() It is also a game that younger children can play, as the rules are so easy to learn. Now, I'm not suggesting this is the new chess but I am suggesting it is a lot deeper and more tactical that the silly theme and even sillier name suggests. As the game progresses, and there are more gaps that will block movement, and a greater chance of finding yourself being blocked in, you can really be faced with some tough decisions. Do you block your opponent, or do you go for another three-fish hexagon? Do you go for a high-scoring hexagon this turn with one of your penguins, or do you move a different penguin to make sure it doesn't get blocked in by your opponents?įiguring out how to maximise your moves, preventing your opponents from scoring while grabbing all the fish yourself is quite a challenge. On your turn you can only move one penguin, and this can create some agonising choices. Hey! Some of Those are My Fish! Probably!Īs you can see, the rules are incredibly light and yet the game offers a surprising amount of brain-burning enjoyment. Then scores are added up to see who has won. When a player cannot make any more moves, he removes his penguins from the board, along with the hexagons the penguins were standing on. Play continues in this way, with players scoring points, and gradually causing the board to disintegrate, until there are no moves left to make. The space on the board where the hexagon used to be can no longer be travelled over, and will block movement in the same way as the edge of the board or another penguin would. Hexagons that cannot be reached by any penguin are removed from play. That hexagon is worth a number of victory points equal to the number of fish printed on it. Once the penguin has finished moving, the hexagon it started its turn on is removed by the player and set aside. A penguin can never jump over another penguin, and must always finish its move on a space with no other penguins. The penguin can move as far as it wants until it reaches the edge of the board, or its path is blocked by another penguin. In turn, each player picks one penguin to move in a straight line in one of the six directions available from the hexagon the penguin is currently on. The game literally takes less than a minute to set up. Once that is done, you are ready to play. Some of the hexagons have one fish on them, some have two, and some have three.Įach player then takes a number of penguins from two to four (depending on the number of players), and starting with the youngest player, the players take turns adding one penguin to the board. ![]() You start playing by shuffling up the 60 hexagons, and then laying them out in rows to form a square shape (or any other shape you fancy, but square is best). It's even more refreshing when the rules for that game are printed on a single sheet of paper. It's quite refreshing to have a game with so few components. Just the hexagons that are used to make the board, and the penguins. It gives you cute plastic penguins to play with, but they aren't pre-painted.Īnyway, the game ships with 16 penguins, in four sets of colours, and a bunch of cardboard hexagons with fish printed on them that represent ice floes. The new Fantasy Flight edition falls somewhere between the two extremes. Superman, Silver Surfer, Disco Stu, and Evil Monkey. ![]() It was subsequently released as a deluxe package featuring 16 really nice, pre-painted penguins. When this game was first released, it came with cardboard tokens to make the board, and little wooden penguins. The rules are simple enough for children to play, but there is actually a satisfying depth to the strategy and tactics involved that make this a good game for adults who want something simple to learn, but tricky to master. Looking at all those exclamation points, and those kooky graphics of penguins slipping around on the ice juggling fish, you might be inclined to be believe this is a children's game. The biggest problem with the title, and indeed the theme in general, is that is gives a false impression of what this game is really like. The game has since been republished by Fantasy Flight Games, and I believe they have removed all but one of the exclamation points. Now, I am looking here specifically at the copy of the game in my possession, which is the Phalanx deluxe edition. Just look at all those exclamation points. I don't think I can start a review of this game without talking about the title. Hey! That's a lot of exclamation points! Really! Designed by Gunter Cornett and Alvydas Jakeliunas ![]() The dart’s velocity could be varied to match the size and distance of the animal, reducing injury to the target. Drawing on his knowledge of firearms and hypodermic needles, he adapted an air pistol to fire a large feathered hypodermic dart that could inject a tranquilizer into an animal without having to capture it. His work with animals, both domestic and wild, convinced him that a better way was needed to capture and restrain animals. He is credited with saving millions of lives for this single invention. So in 1956, he invented the disposable plastic syringe, now the standard way to give injections. He became concerned with the high rate of infections when doctors reused glass syringes-spreading the various diseases they were attempting to cure. So, Murdoch began serving other animals as well as humans-and added “veterinarian” to his professions. After World War II, New Zealand suffered from a shortage of skilled professionals, including veterinarians in a livestock-oriented country. He trained to become a pharmacist, following in his father’s footsteps. His extensive knowledge of guns would prove useful later. During World War II, he gained experience repairing guns for family and neighbors, because new guns were not available. He built a gun that used his technique, and he hunted small game with it for many years. When he was ten, Murdoch developed a unique way to make a controlled explosion. He kept a notepad by his bed to draw out the inventions when he woke. He recounted that he had vivid dreams in which ideas for inventions would appear, rotating around in three-dimensions. He wasn’t a particularly good student, hampered by dyslexia, but he was always good with his hands-he was also ambidextrous-and loved both nature and technology. Murdoch was born on February 6, 1929, in Christchurch, New Zealand (died 2008).

It is one of the first scenes in most wildlife television shows. It is the only safe way to capture, mark and release live animals. It is the only effective way to collect data from living animals. He fired two shots, then Sayid fired two shots.It is an essential tool of wildlife conservation. The tranquilizer pistol that Tony tried to shoot Sayid with, which is a Palmer Cap-Chur #1400C- Short Range Projector, is breech-loaded and only capable of a single shot before having to be reloaded. ![]() In the flash-sideways timeline, Hugo used a tranquilizer gun to sedate Charlie. Widmore's team stepped amongst the bodies until they found Jin, and Zoe said to take him. Jin, Sawyer, Kate, Claire, Sayid, and the rest of the group were struck by the darts and all passed out. ![]() In the absence of The Man in Black, Widmore's team attacked his recruits with tranquilizer darts. Sayid turned the tables and shot Tony instead. Sebastian Hospital by a man named Tony masquarading as a nurse. Sayid was attacked with a dart gun again in St. (" Because You Left") He was unconscious for 42 hours and it was said he had the equivalent of three doses of horse tranquilizer in his system. Sayid killed two men in a lengthy fight, but not before he was shot with an anesthetizing dart, which rendered him unconscious a moment later. After Hurley's break out, he and Sayid visited a safe house. ![]() – When blocking someone on Steam it does not stop them from interacting with friends or sending messages but will prevent them from adding more games to their profile, chat in groups, make trades or participate in other social features that require a public visible name which includes posting comments on our forums. – If you’re not sure what to do when someone is harassing or threatening you through Steam, send out an email to customer service and they’ll take care of the situation for you. – Remember that when you block someone there is nothing stopping them from changing their username so be sure to keep tabs on who might have access to your account.

We hiked on the neighborhood trail and enjoyed the woods yet the house never felt dark & gloomy. We saw deer, fox, and other wildlife outside the big windows. While we are golfers, we didn’t golf this trip but the course looked well groomed & very nice. The home is in a pretty, forest covered neighborhood just outside of Birchwood Country Club.
