This rag-tag group provides a surprisingly sweet heart for a show that features the regular murder of hundreds of people and an organ trading subplot. One of the series highlights is watching the icy, resourceful pickpocket Kang Sae-byeok (Jung Ho-yeon) – a North Korean escaper trying to save her separated family – learn to trust those around her. Our unlikely heroes are led by Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), a gambling addict with a heart of gold, and his slippery childhood friend Cho Sang-woo (Park Hae-soo), a disgraced banker on the run from the police. Masterful cliffhangers give the series a requisite bingeworthy appeal and the set pieces are hideously inventive, but it’s the show’s eclectic cast that keeps viewers watching. Yes, the games are terrifying but how much worse are they than the half-lives of those living in interminable debt? Like that film, the show’s analogy is sometimes overdone – particularly when the game’s cliche-heavy spectators are introduced – but it’s an instantly hooky premise. Its closest comparison is another South Korean drama, 2019’s Oscar-winning, zeitgeist-capturing Parasite, where the country’s class divides led to a bloody conclusion. But Squid Game’s backdrop is South Korea’s present-day, very real wealth inequality. Its success won’t come as a surprise to a generation of viewers who got hooked on murderous dystopian series The Hunger Games and cult favourite Battle Royale. The nine-part series is the first Korean show to reach the top spot on the streaming platform in the US, and is currently number one in the UK. If you can stomach the events of the first episode, what follows is a tightly written horror thriller that has captivated viewers. It’s blood-splattered child’s play – a kind of Takeshi’s Castle with fatalities, or Saw with stylish shell suits. In the first episode, a game of Grandma’s Footsteps (known as Red Light, Green Light in South Korea) leaves bodies piled high as the shell-shocked winners proceed to round two. The small print: if you lose, you get killed. W hat if winning playground games could make you rich? That’s the basis of Squid Game – the South Korean show currently at number one on Netflix around the world – where debt-ridden players sign up to compete in six games for a cash prize of 45.6 billion won (around £28m).

The type of drive refers to how the motor is connected to the turntable platter. We don’t need to go into mind-numbing detail here, but a quick overview is key to being able to recognize which issues relate to which type of turntable. A third system, idler-drive, was largely displaced by belt-driven turntables many years ago, so it’s most likely you have either a belt or direct-drive player. To understand the root causes of a turntable playing records too fast or too slow, it’s important to first grasp the difference between belt-drive and direct-drive systems. Understanding How the Type of Turntable Affects the Issue of Playing Speed We list 11 things you should check if your turntable isn’t sounding great in our troubleshooting guide here. If your record player sounds bad, but it doesn’t sound like it may be a speed issue, then there are a number of other possible causes. Not all issues apply to all record players however, so when it comes to diagnosing what the problem is and what the fix may be, it’s important to first understand the different issues and to which types of turntables and record players they could apply. If your record player speed is too fast or too slow, one of these issues is likely the cause: Problem almost all record enthusiasts will have come across at some point, butįortunately in many cases it’s something that can be fixed without too much You’ve gone to all the trouble of getting a sweet set-up to be able to listen to your prized vinyl record collection, but you’ve encountered an issue with your turntable. The video being cast starting refusing play/pause commands, then got totally out of sync, continuing to play the video shown above while the Chromecast was starting up playback of the previous video - both at the same time! Secondly, the UI and controls started to freeze up. Firstly, the panorama got thoroughly confused at one point, producing page after page of null results. Then there are the glitches, just two of which are shown here. Rather self-referentially(!), casting the Tubecast tutorial video over to my Chromecast-connected TV. Opening up the main '.' menu reveals a way to turn the trial into the full unlimited application, plus ways to share and pin the current video, as you'd expect (right) the settings pane is quite extensive, note the 'Run under lock' option, meaning that you don't have to worry about anything happening to your casting if the screen times out and the lock screen cuts in. Here looking through my YouTube 'Favourites', the interface is smooth and modern (right) playing another video through the Chromecast interface, volume is controlled through the on-screen slider, the phone's own buttons do nothing. Note that any playing video is shown thumbnailed near the bottom of the screen, Android-style - tap and hold to remove it here. Starting a video playing and tapping the cast icon restarted the video but up on the big screen - casting was working first time, with no issues!

In the meantime, from the Store description: I started out with the idea of doing a full review, but it's clear, from both the almost weekly update schedule and the sheer amount of oddities and glitches, that Tubecast PRO isn't quite ready for the prime time - another couple of months of development (in tandem with Google's own Chromecast firmware updates) should see it much more reliable.

The world population growth rate declined from around 2 per year 50 years ago. Sources are given at the end of the page. The world population increased from 1 billion in 1800 to around 8 billion today. They are presented as illustrative of the development of global demographic trends. They are not of uniform reliability or methodology and may not represent uniform time series. The following historical population figures are compiled from multiple sources. The Global Rural-Urban Mapping Project, Version One (GRUMPv1) data collection builds on GPW to construct a common geo-referenced framework of urban and rural areas by combining census data with satellite data.Historical world population data Historical World Population Data There is also an extensive map collection that includes population density and sub-national administrative boundary maps (depicting the input units) at country, continental, and global levels. When lower and upper estimates are the same they are shown under 'Lower.') Year. The population could have reached 160,000,000 in 180 A.D., but due to wars, famine, or plagues, the death rate increased while the birth rate decreased. The projected grids were produced in collaboration with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Programme (FAO) as Population Count and Density Grid Future Estimates. Historical Estimates of World Population. Population data estimates are provided for 1990, 1995, and 2000, and projected (in 2004, when GPWv3 was released) to 2005, 2010, and 2015. Separate grids are available for population count and density per grid cell. The native grid cell resolution is 2.5 arc-minutes, or ~5km at the equator, although aggregates at coarser resolutions are also provided. The key to making this happen will be more widespread and earlier improvements in womens education. In AD 1000, what caused the decline of population in Europe 16.

This is a gridded, or raster, data product that renders global population data at the scale and extent required to demonstrate the spatial relationship of human populations and the environment across the globe.The purpose of GPW is to provide a spatially disaggregated population layer that is compatible with data sets from social, economic, and Earth science fields.The gridded data set is constructed from national or subnational input units (usually administrative units) of varying resolutions. According to this publication, we will reach peak population in the 2060s, reaching 9.7 billion people on Earth. GPWv4 provides gridded population estimates with an output. GPWv3 provides globally consistent and spatially explicit human population information and data for use in research, policy making, and communications. Note: Gridded Population of the World, v4 is now available and supersedes GPWv3. GPWv3 depicts the distribution of human population across the globe. The global human population reached 8. But this is a blunt instrument because (1) as noted in the original post, the underlying growth rate tends to rise until its late 20th-century peak, (2) world population is generally assumed to have stagnated or fallen in c.200-600, the 14th-15th. Note: "Gridded Population of the World, v4" is now available and supersedes GPWv3. GPWv4 provides gridded population estimates with an output resolution of 30 arc-seconds (approximately 1 km at the equator) for the years 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020 based on the results of the 2010 round of censuses, which occurred between 20. For more details about GPWv4 and to access the new data see. The world’s population is more than three times larger than it was in the mid-twentieth century. A commonly-used shortcut is simple interpolation assuming a constant growth rate between the two dates for which you have estimates. If that's the case then I guess we tend to clash a lot over "randomness". You guys are making me appear silly, or maybe it was a request I made previously to stay on topic that you guys fear I may snap on you again. Try out the demo at the very least!Īlright, I guess I'm the only "active" VR users, yet there have been those that posted before on Steam and such. Tales of Glory gets my stamp of approval. Just imagining Rising World with this combat gesturing + holding your hand in the air to rally your troops is awesome! THIS is how you do VR games! Probably asking way too much of Red51 that maybe I should stick to these games instead, yet. I wonder if we'll be able to get to this sort of combat style in Rising World. Just imaging this sort of combat in Rising World, I do wonder if this is even possible. Now, having a combat horse come at you is a bit terrifying in VR, yet it's fun heh. I love being able to weild both a spear/lance & a sword for both long and close combat while parrying the enemy's attacks. You can use whatever weapon you desire that you can fight in your own combat style. It's so realistic that I just love being able to swing in various ways that you can get a good old fashioned sword battle going. I just love how your gestures dictate the whole combat that your enemy reacts to it in some manner. Tales of Glory also gets my highest respect as well for the whole attention to detailing and combat side of things. However, do note that I'm adding actual proper games worthwhile of your times that I also put this together after seeing so many shoverware/junkware software on steam.

Red51 noted Rising World would go VR, thus the VR hype, just that it'll take quite a bit getting there. I felt this was necessary because we're now in the age of VR games while also waiting for Rising World to go VR as well.
