I never realized it as a kid, but analog horror is (and has been) my favorite horror subgenre for decades. Sure, when those zombie dogs busted through the glass windows in the original Resident Evil , I ran out of my room like I was stealing third in the World Series. But nothing would prepare me for the sheer terror of Metal Gear Solid ‘s Psycho Mantis. Years of conditioning had me fooled, thinking I was always in control of any game I would play. Until one boss fight, everything I knew about being “player one” would be subverted, warped, and mocked before my eyes. That’s what makes analog horror particularly unnerving. It’s that violation of our digital comfort zones – our TVs and desktop PCs – and helplessly watching as unknown forces manipulate them. It’s coming home to see your desktop icons slightly shifted. Unknowingly downloading a trojan virus and catching a glimpse of your mouse cursor moving on its own. Seeing a glowing “HIDEO” cast over a cold, dark CRT screen. It takes the innocuous and, with the slightest touch, makes it grossly unwelcoming. Videos by VICE Being chronically online in a post-Y2K world, analog horror is that perfect blend of fourth-wall-breaking uncanniness that shakes me more than vampires and werewolves ever could. Damn. Now that I think of it, that’s probably why I have reoccurring nightmares of my computer defiled by viruses and why I’m one of those weirdos who unironically loves Skinamarink . ‘Among Ashes’ is a disturbing twist on early internet nostalgia Rat Cliff Games’ Among Ashes is analog horror at its finest. I recently wrote about how eerily familiar it feels , as someone who grew up alongside pre- and post-Y2K internet, and how it masterfully blends realities of its game-within-a-game (within a game) premise. Most of your time in Among Ashes is spent playing a separate game on the protagonist’s computer. Night Call , a haunted PSX-era horror game uploaded to the NIGHTMARE FUEL forums, is a mix of horror classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. As you progress through Night Call , you’ll often tab out and converse with a friend via instant messenger. Other times, you’ll read message boards as others attempt to decipher the various unexplainable bugs that plague Night Call . Alone in your flat, you’re able to stand up from your in-game computer and peek around your quiet home at will. But, as Night Call begins to feel less and less like an ordinary horror game, there’s good reason to believe you’re not as alone as you think. ‘VILE’ is an unsettling story of obsession and misogynistic entitlement While Final Girl Games’ VILE plays entirely through a 90s-era computer, there’s no way I could boil it down to simply being “analog horror.” Its harrowing subject matter makes it much more than that, as its solo creator, Cara Cadaver, explains to GamesRadar : “It does every time, though, feel a little bit like somebody’s reading my journal. It’s a very personal game, and that was the point,” Cadaver notes on VILE ‘s reception. Dealing with themes of stalking and sexual violence, VILE exposes the ugly realities that many women face daily. As the player sifts through various files and emails, information on the disappearance of an adult film actress is slowly uncovered, peeling away scabs of truth with each click. Tech support made terrifying with ‘Home Safety Hotline’ Home Safety Hotline is a light-hearted blend of household pests, paranormal entities, and tech support calls. You’ll clock into your call center job each day and advise homeowners on how to best deal with strange happenings. Some are innocent, like termites gnawing on wooden furnishings; others, more sinister, like hearing voices within walls. An index is available on your computer to study, allowing you to be your best home safety operator. But as your daily quota grows and your boss becomes more demanding, you have to wonder if it may be time for a two-week notice. ‘CAPTURED’ is a nightmarish loop of liminal space and childhood terror CAPTURED really flew under the radar, but is a hair-raising experience worth playing. Clearly inspired by movies like Skinamarink , CAPTURED puts you in the shoes of a child with a video camera, stuck inside a loop within their own home. Each loop has you creeping through a dark hallway and identifying subtle changes with each pass. Anomalies like missing windows, out-of-place furniture, and inexplicable doorways keep each playthrough slightly different but consistently unnerving. Its limited UI and tight sound design make it uncomfortably immersive. Like Skinamarink , I decided to play it alone and in the dark, and, well – that was certainly a decision.

VANCOUVER, BC , Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Galiano Gold Inc. ("Galiano" or the "Company") GAU GAU is pleased to announce that it has terminated its gold purchase and sale agreement (the "Agreement") with Red Kite Opportunities Master Fund Limited ("Red Kite") for total cash consideration of US$13 million . Under the Agreement, the Company had been required to sell 100% of gold production from the Asanko Gold Mine (the "AGM"), up to a maximum of 2.2 million ounces, at a spot price selected by Red Kite during a nine-day quotational period following shipment of gold from the AGM. At the time of termination, the AGM had delivered 1,706,407 gold ounces to Red Kite under the Agreement. Over the past two years, during a period of elevated gold prices and volatility, the differential between the AGM's realized gold price under the Agreement and the spot price of gold on the gold delivery date, has resulted in a discount of approximately 2%. "With the Company's strong, debt-free balance sheet, we are pleased to have the financial flexibility to terminate this legacy offtake agreement as part of our prudent capital allocation strategy," said Matt Badylak , President and Chief Executive Officer of Galiano. "This strategic investment allows the AGM to sell gold at market prices, delivering meaningful value as we advance our business plan." About Galiano Gold Inc.

TORONTO, Dec. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Friday December 6, MPP Chris Glover and MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam met with the team at Jumpstart Refugee Talent (Jumpstart) to hear how their $194,700 Resilient Communities grant from the provincial government’s Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) has made an impact. The two-year long grant, awarded in 2022, was used to support Jumpstart in its effort to move beyond the impacts of the pandemic by providing needed resources and technology for its staff to adapt programming and services that continue to meet the needs of refugee communities. “This Resilient Communities Fund grant given through the Ontario Trillium Foundation has enabled Jumpstart Refugee Talent to continue their work empowering refugees to find their careers in Canada,” said Kristyn Wong-Tam, MPP for Toronto Centre. “I am excited to see Jumpstart provide even more services that support their clients in the long run for a more resilient community." Thanks to the grant, Jumpstart was able to increase its accessibility by fully adapting all programming to be remote, in response to the needs of staff, clients, and volunteers at the time. Jumpstart has also invested in cloud-based technologies to deliver virtual programming, provided professional development training to its staff, and hired staff to engage 1,000+ clients more closely through needs assessment and career readiness programming. “Jumpstart does incredible work empowering refugees through meaningful employment and entrepreneurial opportunities,” said Chris Glover, MPP for Spadina-Fort York. “They’ve made a profound impact on the lives of over 2,000 refugees. They’ve provided countless successful programs. Every person living in this province has the right to find meaningful employment and the resources to achieve their full potential. We all benefit from programs like these.” “COVID-19 significantly impacted vulnerable populations, especially refugees, and the organizations serving them,” said Malaz Sebai, Director of Operations, Jumpstart Refugee Talent. “OTF support was critical to adapting our programming and building our organizational resilience so we can better support the economic inclusion of refugees for years to come.” Jumpstart Refugee Talent is a refugee-led charitable organization, headquartered in Toronto with a network of offices throughout Canada and around the world. Its work is dedicated to support the economic inclusion of refugees, refugee claimants, and forcibly displaced individuals, by connecting them with meaningful employment and entrepreneurial opportunities.

The Dallas Cowboys ruled out right guard Zack Martin and cornerback Trevon Diggs with injuries on Saturday, one day prior to a road game against the Washington Commanders. Martin has been dealing with ankle and shoulder injuries and didn't practice at all this week before initially being listed as doubtful to play on Friday. He also physically struggled during Monday night's loss to the Houston Texans. Martin, who turned 34 on Wednesday, has started all 162 games played in 11 seasons with the Cowboys. He's a nine-time Pro Bowl selection and a seven-time first-team All-Pro. Diggs has been dealing with groin and knee injuries. He was listed as questionable on Friday before being downgraded Saturday. Diggs, 26, has 37 tackles and two interceptions in 10 games this season. The two-time Pro Bowl pick led the NFL with 11 picks in 2021 and has 20 in 57 games. The Cowboys elected not to activate receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) for the game. He returned to practice earlier this week and he was listed as questionable on Friday. Dallas activated offensive tackle Chuma Edoga (toe) and defensive end Marshawn Kneeland (knee) off injured reserve Saturday, placed safety Markquese Bell (shoulder) on IR and released defensive end KJ Henry. Tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) was previously ruled out. Tight end Princeton Fant was elevated from the practice squad to replace him. Cornerback Kemon Hall also was elevated from the practice squad. --Field Level MediaToronto AI company Cohere to receive $240M from Ottawa to help get data centre built
FPGA-Accelerated LLMs: The Future of AI Inferencing is HereThe metallic screech of a train rolling by. The constant hum of traffic on the nearby Trans-Canada Highway. These are the sounds of the Brunette River in the fall, as it cuts through Burnaby, B.C. — and rising above the din of Metro Vancouver, the splashing of chum salmon as they push upstream to spawn. The salmon in the river are looking haggard by mid-November, their skin patchy and worn as they near the end of their lives. But they continue the timeless cycle to produce the next generation of their keystone species. First Nations harness power of AI to monitor wild salmon stocks in B.C. Jason Hwang, vice-president of the Pacific Salmon Foundation, recalled growing up in Delta, south of Vancouver, and thinking "salmon were something that came into the Fraser River but swam on by the Lower Mainland to better habitat" farther inland. Then, as a child, Hwang saw salmon spawning in Surrey's Bear Creek. "I couldn't believe it," he said. "You might look out at the city and Vancouver and say, 'Well, it's a big city now and maybe the time to have salmon in our proximity is long passed.' But that's not true." Efforts to rehabilitate urban waterways have helped bring spawning salmon back to parts of Metro Vancouver, including unlikely-looking streams surrounded by industrial and residential development. Salmon are seen spawning in Stoney Creek in Burnaby, B.C., in this undated photo. (UBC) While it's doubtful that city salmon will recover to their original numbers, those involved in restoration work say it has a host of side benefits, from boosting resilience to flooding to inspiring community connection and stewardship. Hwang said "an amazing thing happens" when people realize there are important natural assets in their communities, including spawning salmon. "There's a pride of stewardship that exists that you see all over the Lower Mainland ... in the communities that are aware they've got salmon in their neighbourhoods." Discover where ancient rivers flow under Canadian cities Salmon are a keystone species, supporting the broader ecosystem, and they serve as a barometer for the state of their environment, Hwang said. "If you look at salmon, it's one way to get a pretty good picture, and they're showing us that we can do better, and we need to do better." Creek restoration Francisca Olaya Nieto, a biologist with the Vancouver Park Board, said a century of urban development had altered the landscape to the point that aiming for healthy, sustainable salmon populations across the city is probably not realistic. About 100 kilometres of stream were covered up as Vancouver grew, she said, and just a handful of salmon-bearing waterways continue to flow naturally. Some of those original streams were diverted into pipes and connected to the city's water system, while others were filled in, buried and paved over. B.C. creek buried by construction in the 60s restored Nieto said salmon in urban waterways must contend with pollution, sediment, warming waters and infrastructure blocking their passage. Still, they have been returning to streams where the City of Vancouver and its park board have undertaken restoration work, said Nieto, who has been involved in efforts to recover or "daylight" sections of once-buried or degraded waterways.

Institute of Technology has brought part of buried Guichon Creek back to the surface in Burnaby. "The main goal is to find those opportunities where we can improve the water quality, and if salmon can return, that will be a win, but also we can benefit many other species," she said. "We're working more toward creating healthy habitat across the city, working toward connectivity and improving our biodiversity." Amir Taleghani, a senior engineer with the City of Vancouver, said restoring salmon habitat may have started with naturalization and beautification in mind, but the work also provided an opportunity to tap into the broader benefits of natural assets.

The creek has been the site of restoration efforts over several decades, and Taleghani recently captured a video showing salmon spawning in the stream surrounded by parking lots, train tracks, big-box stores and industrial buildings. But Still Creek plays a role beyond providing salmon habitat, said Taleghani, whose work is focused on floodplains and watercourses in Vancouver. "Increasingly, we're seeing the creek as a natural drainage asset, important to ... adapting to climate change and managing flood risk," he said. "You need room for water to safely be stored in a flood. So, by widening the creek and lowering the surface where we can, we provide the space that in an extreme rainfall event can be flooded in a safe way, but the rest of the year, it can be habitat." Taleghani said the city was incorporating Still Creek in its draft land-use plan for the area, which includes two SkyTrain stations, and looking at how the waterway can help manage run-off and flood risk as more housing and infrastructure is built.

(Mark Angelo) Hwang, too, said it was crucial to include natural assets in city and regional planning given the population increases expected for the Lower Mainland. "As a salmon biologist, I would advocate for all of the reasons that [restoration] can be helpful for salmon, but it's also helpful for your community," he said, pointing to flood mitigation as well as recreational opportunities in naturalized areas. Salmon populations in decline across B.C. and Yukon: report Hwang said the target should be to restore as much habitat as possible. He recalled attending the British Columbia Institute of Technology as a post-secondary student, where there is an ongoing effort to restore Guichon Creek, which runs through the Burnaby campus and into Still Creek. "Maybe Guichon Creek used to produce thousands of salmon, and now it produces a couple of dozen ... but isn't that still awesome? Isn't it awesome that in the [school's] parking lot area, you can make salmon, still, in a stream?" Last year, BCIT installed a fishway along Guichon Creek to allow salmon to migrate through the river. (Brett Hitchins)
SOMERVILLE, N.J. , Nov. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Specified Technologies Inc. has announced their latest Firestop Clash Management (FCM) and Firestop Locator (FSL) releases. FCM automates the process of locating and assigning firestop solutions to conditions within Autodesk ® Revit ® , enabling firestop novices to find firestop solutions like a firestop expert. In this latest release, STI has further expanded the capabilities of FCM by integrating it with their firestop documentation and compliance tool, Firestop Locator (FSL). FSL enables contractors and facilities' teams to document the status, location, and products used for any and all fire life safety services across a building.

Vikings waive former starting cornerback Akayleb Evans in another blow to 2022 draft classEtiquette experts reveal the worst mistakes you can make when hosting holiday parties Here's how to avoid any potential holiday party hosting faux pas this season From forcing guests to take off their shoes to questioning their eating habits READ MORE: Etiquette expert details insulting gifts you should NEVER buy men By MARGARET ABRAMS FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 22:14 GMT, 23 December 2024 | Updated: 22:15 GMT, 23 December 2024 e-mail View comments Entertaining over the holidays can be the perfect time to get friends and family together, but it can also feel like a minefield. The perfect host or hostess doesn't want to accidentally offend their guests, and it's possible to get into arguments or spark grudges while hosting a holiday event. To find out how to avoid any potential holiday party hosting faux pas, FEMAIL reached out to etiquette experts. From forcing guests to take off their shoes to running out of toilet paper, these are the worst mistakes hosts can make this holiday season. Etiquette coach Bethany Skorik told DailyMail.com, 'Hosts are responsible for making their guests feel welcome and comfortable when opening their homes.' 'If you cannot treat others with kindness or decency, you should forego trying to entertain,' Bethany suggested. Bethany, who founded The Charming Diplomat, an agency dedicated to elevating manners, style, and gracious living, told FEMAIL it's best to never assume your guests want to drink alcohol or eat all the food you have prepared. According to Bethany, who's based in Wisconsin , gracious hosts won't ever 'force alcohol on your guests, and always have a non-alcoholic alternative.' To find out how to avoid any potential holiday party hosting faux pas this season, FEMAIL reached out to etiquette experts From forcing guests to take off their shoes to plying them with alcohol, these are the worst mistakes hosts can make It's also never appropriate to publicly embarrass your guests if you notice they're not partaking in the food or drink or make them uncomfortable when it comes to their eating habits. READ MORE EXCLUSIVE Etiquette expert reveals the most offensive gifts you should NEVER buy for a woman 'If you notice your guest isn't eating or drinking what you have displayed, you can privately ask them if they need something,' Bethany said. 'Never draw attention to people's eating or drinking habits in front of others,' Bethany continued. UK certified etiquette coach Jamila Musayeva told FEMAIL that 'neglecting to ask about dietary preferences is another common mistake that can leave guests feeling overlooked or uncomfortable.' 'As a host, it is your duty to ask for dietary restrictions but as a guest, you are also responsible for informing the host, in case he or she has forgotten to clarify,' Jamila explained. It's not just about what you say, hosts must also make sure to be prepared for any scenario. The ultimate host will make sure to keep the bathroom fully stocked, because running out toilet paper would be a worst case scenario. 'Always let your guests know where the bathroom is and ensure it is fully stocked with toilet paper and necessities,' Bethany said, explaining that it's best to keep all bathrooms in the house accessible in case of emergencies. 'Running out of essentials, from food and drinks to toilet paper, is easily avoidable,' Jamila agreed. Etiquette coach Bethany Skorik told DailyMail.com, 'Hosts are responsible for making their guests feel welcome and comfortable when opening their homes' Certified etiquette expert Jamila Musayeva revealed to FEMAIL that 'neglecting to ask about dietary preferences is another common mistake' Jamila suggested overstocking the essentials, since it's 'better to have more of everything and you can always save it for a later day or occasion.' There are also certain topics you should avoid, according to Bethany, like 'past loves or relationships, especially if your guest has a new beau.' 'Parents and family members are often guilty of telling funny stories about past partners, and this is wildly inappropriate,' Bethany advised. Another no no is forcing guests to remove their shoes , because they might have mismatched socks or an old pedicure. If you live in a major urban area, it's best to provide clean socks or slippers as an alternative. 'Some people may have mismatched socks, no socks, or personal reasons for wanting to keep their shoes,' Bethany suggested, adding that it's best to 'have a backup to protect your house and your guest's ego.' The penultimate host will also remain calm throughout the evening, so guests feel equally at home. 'If you're stressed and frantic, guests will pick up on it,' Jamila warned. 'Do not leave anything to the last minute. This will make you feel stressed and you, as host, will not be able to enjoy the party.' Instead, it's best to prepare in advance for a stress-free and festive evening.

Manchester City’s crisis deepened as they surrendered a three-goal lead late in the game to draw 3-3 against Feyenoord in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola’s side avoided the indignity of a sixth successive defeat in all competitions and looked on course for a welcome victory thanks to a double from Erling Haaland – the first from the penalty spot – and a deflected effort from Ilkay Gundogan. Yet Guardiola was left with his head in hands as Feyenoord roared back in the last 15 minutes with goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Sergio Gimenez and David Hancko, two of them after Josko Gvardiol errors.

Arteta wanted his team to prove their European credentials, and goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track in style following the 1-0 defeat at Inter Milan last time out. A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim.

Kim Min-jae’s header late in the first half was enough to send PSG to a third defeat in the competition this season, leaving them six points off the automatic qualification places for the last 16 with three games to play. Luis Enrique’s side, who had Ousmane Dembele sent off, were deservedly beaten by Bayern who dominated chances and possession. 🔔 FULL TIME – Victory at home! +3 in the #UCL 👏❤️ #FCBayern #MiaSanMia | #FCBPSG #UCL pic.twitter.com/BYE23dXXih — FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) November 26, 2024 Elsewhere, Atletico Madrid were 6-0 winners away to Sparta Prague, Julian Alvarez and Angel Correa each scoring twice whilst there were also goals from Marcos Llorente and Antoine Griezmann. Barcelona ended tournament debutants Brest’s unbeaten start with a 3-0 victory courtesy of two goals from Robert Lewandowski – one a penalty – and Dani Olmo. Lewandowski’s first was his 100th Champions League goal, only the third man to reach the mark after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. A Castello Lukeba own goal saw Inter Milan go top of the standings with a narrow 1-0 win over RB Leipzig at San Siro, whilst Bayer Leverkusen were emphatic victors against Red Bull Salzburg, Florian Wirtz scoring twice to move Xabi Alonso’s side into the automatic qualification places. Atalanta continued their strong start, albeit whilst conceding a first goal in Europe this season in a 6-1 win away to Young Boys, whilst Tammy Abraham scored the decisive goal as AC Milan beat Slovan Bratislava 3-2.
believes is every bit as good as and , amid the midfielder’s superb return to form this season. Caicedo was talked about among the top bracket of holding midfield players in the Premier League during his time at Brighton, prompting interest from Arsenal and Liverpool, before the Blues swooped to seal a £115million deal in the summer of 2023. However, the Ecuadorian struggled to adapt at times during his first season at Stamford Bridge under Mauricio Pochettino, and has since admitted he felt the pressure of moving to a big club with such a hefty price tag. Meanwhile, Rice - who moved to Arsenal for £105m in the same transfer window - and Rodri emerged as the division’s dominant midfielders as Arsenal and Manchester City went toe-to-toe in the title race. However, with Rodri ruled out for the season with an ACL injury and Rice only recently finding his best form after a slow start to the campaign, Caicedo has been perhaps the standout holding player in the country this term. The 23-year-old has started every league game for a Chelsea side who sit second in the table ahead of Sunday’s trip to Tottenham and is, Maresca believes, now back to his Brighton best. “He is for sure now at that level,” Maresca said, when asked how his player compares to the likes of Rice and Rodri. “No doubt. “Unfortunately, Rodri is injured but Declan is playing. But I think Moises can sit at that table with that kind of midfielder.”Location-Based Services Market to grow by USD 296.3 billion (2024-2028), driven by rising demand for navigation services; Report on AI-driven market evolution - Technavio
