Social care providers in Scotland have said a growing pay gap between NHS and social care staff must be addressed to avoid catastrophe in the sector. They have warned they cannot pay enough to attract staff to look after Scotland's growing elderly po[CENSORED]tion and keep them out of hospital. Providers said nurses and carers were leaving for better wages in the NHS and overseas. Scottish ministers said their workforce strategy would address the challenges. ADVERTISEMENT Glasgow cuts £22m from health and social care New national care service law to be delayed Care workers 'not adequately valued or rewarded' At the Erskine care home in Edinburgh, Jaclyn Daly from Canberra, Australia works as a care assistant while she studies nursing. Cathy Combe, a resident at the home for military veterans and their spouses, says the staff are all lovely. "They do everything for you, and you never have to worry about a thing," the 89-year-old says. "Before my husband passed on, they were very kind with him. I thought I would have to move when my husband died. But they said, no, you are a widow of the regiment - and that's how I'm still here now." 'NHS wages are better' Jaclyn is a fourth-year student nurse, who works as a care assistant, but also picks up bank shifts in the NHS. "It's hard because when you work in the NHS, the wages are a little bit better, depending on the type of shifts, and the holiday pay that you get compared to here," she says. "But you've got uncertainty with it. You're not familiar with the area that you might be working in, and you don't know your residents." She says that in the social care sector "continuity of care is really important". "It's the little nuances of each resident. It's knowing how they like their tea or their coffee or, for example, a resident who likes to brush his teeth after breakfast." Independent companies and charities like Erskine are paid by local authorities to take in residents whose means fall below the threshold to self-fund their own care, under the National Care Home Contract. It sti[CENSORED]tes that care staff should receive the real Living Wage - £10.90 an hour, as of 1 April. But Ian Cumming, who runs Erskine, says this is well below the rate paid to equivalent staff in the NHS and other care homes that are council-run. "The NHS and local authority equivalent is 21% higher, moving towards 24% higher [after pay negotiations]," he says. "Ultimately that means £5,000 a year more if you work in the NHS, and that's before you start talking about sick pay, pensions, and additional pay at weekends." 'Really skewed labour market' He says care providers cannot compete on that level. "We try our very best to make up that shortfall through fundraising," he says. "People are at the very core of everything we do and our staff deserve to be rewarded for the unique skills that they bring." link: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-65167087

The real-life origins of a once-mythological wildcat called the "cat-fox" are finally coming to light thanks to recent genetics research. For generations, local shepherds on the Mediterranean island of Corsica have shared stories about the "ghjattu volpe," or "cat-fox," attacking the udders of sheep and goats, AFP reported(opens in new tab) in 2019. Scientists first documented their existence in 1929 and may soon be able to declare them a new subspecies after almost 100 years thanks to new genetics research. Corsican wildcats get their "cat-fox" nickname from their fox-like color and large tail. Despite what their nickname suggests, these animals are not cat-fox hybrids; they're definitely all cat. Corsican wildcats belong to the genus Felis alongside other wildcats and domestic cats, but researchers are studying their genetics to figure out their exact placement in the group. Some media outlets have suggested that Corsican wildcats are a new species — Live Science reported that this was a possibility in 2019 — but that's not strictly true. A study published in the journal Molecular Ecology(opens in new tab) on Jan. 19 of this year found that Corsican wildcats might be a subspecies, or distinct group within a known Felis species. We have the proof that this small cat has its own genetic identity," study co-author Sébastien Devillard(opens in new tab), an assistant professor of evolutionary ecology at the Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University in France, told Live Science. "This is the first step for it to be recognized as a subspecies." The French Office for Biodiversity, which was involved in the long-running study, published a statement(opens in new tab) about the January findings on March 16. Related: Adorable, remorseless killing machine is world's deadliest cat Devillard and his colleagues compared genetic samples from wildcats and domestic cats on Corsica with those from the neighboring island of Sardinia and mainland Europe. They found that Corsican wildcats were distinct from European wildcats, domestic cats and, to a lesser extent, the wildcats of Sardinia. Corsican wildcats have fewer stripes than European wildcats and Sardinian wildcats, but questions remain about how different they are. The researchers still need to compare Corsican wildcats with Near-Eastern mainland wildcats before they can be declared a new subspecies. And even then, there may be some debate. There are several related wildcat lineages across Europe, Asia and Africa, and researchers are still deciding where each one belongs. This process is complicated further by the presence of domestic cats, which interbreed and hybridize with wildcats. Wildcats have traditionally been grouped together under the species Felis silvestris, with most European wildcats in the subspecies F. s. silvestris and most Afro-Asiatic wildcats in the subspecies F. s. lybica. However, the International Union for Conservation of Nature(opens in new tab) now recognizes Afro-Asiatic wildcats as their own species (F. lybica). The lybica line is important for understanding domestic cats and the new Corsican wildcat research. "Lybica is the ancestor of domestic cats, and what we think is that some lybica were introduced at a very early stage of domestication in Corsica and in Sardinia," Devillard said. This probably happened around 8,000 years ago and the wildcats have remained wild since, Devillard added. Corsican wildcats occupy high elevations up to around 6,500 feet (2,000 meters), and Devillard suspects they can catch fish in Corsican rivers. The researchers will continue to study the wildcats to learn more about their lives and pin down their evolutionary history. link: https://www.livescience.com/legendary-cat-fox-could-be-a-new-subspecies

Car loan interest rates are climbing as high as 7 percent. Meanwhile, $1000-a-month payments are becoming more common, especially in places where big trucks are de rigueur. Average new-car prices aren't getting any more reasonable, and if you're someone who finances their vehicle, you're probably wondering where all the money’s going. The average APR for new vehicles financed in March was 7 percent, helping create a market where the average payment for a new car is, gulp, $730. That's bad, but the number of people paying over $1000 is also on the rise. In Wyoming, more than 25 percent of car shoppers who finance have payments that high. Sorry, truck shoppers. The average price of a new car in the U.S. has been climbing, again, and at least one Toyota executive thinks it could hit $50,000 later this year. If we're paying more for our cars, it logically follows that our monthly payments are increasing as well, especially with interest rates as high as they are. Right on cue, Edmunds has announced that the average annual percentage rate (APR) for new vehicles was at 7 percent in March, the highest level since early 2008. The average monthly payment for a new car is now $730, up almost $80 from a year ago. Interest Rates Climbing to 7 Percent and Higher The average APR is under 6 percent in only two states—Minnesota and South Dakota—and is above 7 percent in 16 mostly Southern states. The national average was under 6 percent in September and has been climbing each month since then. The Federal Reserve sets the rate at which banks can borrow money, which then influences the rate the rest of us pay when we, say, finance a car. The Fed has been raising interest rates recently as it attempts to keep inflation from growing too rapidly and has raised the rate by almost 5 percent over the past year. Higher APRs and higher prices, along with the length of the loan, affect the total price and just how much people are paying each month. In some cases, it's a lot. In January, Edmunds noted that around 15 percent of people who financed a new car did so with payments over $1000. As of March 2023, the number has grown to almost 17 percent, representing a continued increase from the 10.5 percent who were paying four figures monthly for their car a year ago. These high payments are likely one reason why more Americans are falling behind on their car payments in 2023 than at any time since 2009, according to Bloomberg. Wyoming Has the Most $1000+ Car Payments Two states stand out as "winners" in the race to pay $1000 or more a month for your car: Texas and Wyoming. Almost 21 percent of new-car financers are in the four-figure club, but Wyoming has the honor of topping the list. Vehicles are "ridiculously more expensive" there these days than before, according to Cowboy State Daily, and we can see that in the fact that a whopping 25.7 percent of people agreed to pay over $1000 a month for their vehicles. Edmunds said the high prices in Wyoming and Texas are "due to the high volume of large truck purchases in both states." While $1000-a-month payments are rare in the used-car world, the cost to finance is even higher than for new cars, Edmunds notes. The average APR to borrow money for a gently loved car or truck was over 11 percent last month, up from just over 9 percent in September. It's pricey out there. link: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43500908/car-finance-expensive-interest-rates/

If someone approached you on the street and told you that, for just a tenner, you could win the kind of house that would cause Kevin McCloud to collapse into a puddle of adjectives and help raise millions of pounds for charity, you would probably ask what the catch was. But that improbable offering is Omaze’s core business. Since launching in the UK in April 2020, the organisation has been running prize draws in which, for a relatively small amount of money, you can be in with the chance to win a multimillion-pound dream house. When the draw ends, a chosen charity partner gets the lion’s share of the profits. The exact odds of winning are unclear – Omaze doesn’t publish precise figures, and the odds get worse as more people enter – but people do win big, and that has kept me interested enough to enter every competition since it first popped up on my Instagram feed. While I have only won a £10 Amazon voucher, it hasn’t stopped me dreaming about what my life would be like if my ticket was drawn – I’d probably rent out the house as a luxurious holiday home, giving family and close friends free usage (off-peak weekends only – I’m not made of money), before eventually selling it. The Welsh Valley That Won the Lottery review – a bittersweet good news tale that’s not like the others Read more The po[CENSORED]rity of these draws – each receives hundreds of thousands, if not millions of entries and it’s still growing – tells us a few things about the UK. Namely that, as a nation, we love escapism and the thought of a big win transforming our lives; look to the tradition of doing the pools, having a flutter on the Grand National and getting a ticket for the national lottery. From another angle, it illustrates the sheer ridiculousness of the housing market, where the greatest prize we can comprehend is a roof over our head, albeit a fancy one. It is certainly why, as I approach my 25th year as a renter, I have been so committed to entering these giveaways. There is very little chance of me winning, but, while the cost of living crisis continues, interest rates push 5% and inflation remains double that, there is little chance of me being able to afford to buy a house in London, either. The average property price based on sales in the capital last year was just over £730,000, according to Zoopla. Alternatively, renting has cost me the best part of £150,000 since I moved to London in 2006. Who wouldn’t dream of a golden ticket out of that scenario? I’m far from the only person daydreaming in this way. “I want to help my granddaughters get on the property ladder,” says one Omaze Trustpilot reviewer. “People like me can’t afford to get on the property ladder. This is maybe my only opportunity to own my own house,” says another. Until recently, Kevin Johnson, a 34-year-old carpenter from north London, was also prone to daydreaming about life as the owner of a luxury home. But he no longer has to wonder – he has just won a £3m house in an Omaze prize draw. Johnson and his wife, Dee, along with their four kids, will soon be moving into a beautiful four-bed Victorian semi just 15 minutes from where they now rent a three-bed flat. As part of the prize, as well as any fees and stamp duty being covered, they have also won £100,000 to help them settle in. “I don’t think it’s ever going to sink in, to be honest,” says Dee. Johnson has been entering the dream-house competition for about two years and never really thought he would win, but was happy to be giving money to charity. More recently, he says, he had been practising a more positive approach, going as far as cutting out a photograph of the London house from an Omaze newspaper advertisement and showing it to his youngest, telling him it is where the family would be moving to. “The parking permit for my van is running out at our current address, so I said I wasn’t going to replace it until the house had been drawn because I had a feeling I was going to win,” he says. On the day of the draw, Johnson received a call from the Omaze team telling him he had won something, but not exactly what, and that they were on their way to his house. He immediately called his wife, who works in childcare and education part-time and in healthcare at a hospital. She was sceptical. “As no one was in, they went to the pub around the corner to wait for Kevin to get home. I thought: ‘Who does that?’ It definitely sounded like a scam.” But Johnson recognised the Omaze presenter’s voice from the TV adverts, and he and the children were soon greeted by the team, complete with a mock key to hand over, and a camera and lighting crew ready to film a reaction video. Johnson later called Dee to tell her the news. On her way home from work on a packed train, she took the video call, but couldn’t find her headphones to take it in private. “He was using this voice I’d never heard before, he was shaking,” she says. “The whole carriage heard what had happened and they all cheered and applauded,” she says. “I got off at my stop, but sat on the platform for 20 minutes to take it in.” Apart from looking forward to having more space, the couple, who have been married for almost 13 years, say that very little about their day-to-day lives will change – they will be staying in their jobs, which they love, and, as the new house is so close to their old one, their children can still go to the same schools. In the short term, aside from starting their mortgage-free lives, Johnson is excited about kitting out the annexe in the garden – “a big TV and a sofa, nothing crowded,” he says – but the longer term is packed with freedom and opportunity. “We have dreams and desires about setting up our own business, so we have flexibility with that because of this win,” says Dee. “And the children definitely have more security, too. It’s a big win for them.” “Seeing the children living in a house like that … I can’t put that into words,” says Johnson. link: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/apr/04/too-good-to-be-true-what-it-is-really-like-to-win-a-3m-dream-home

Russian investigators have detained a woman in their hunt for the killers of pro-war blogger Vladlen Tatarsky in Sunday's blast at a St Petersburg cafe. In video released by authorities - most likely recorded under duress - Darya Trepova is heard admitting she handed over a statuette that later blew up. But the 26-year-old does not say she knew there would be an explosion, nor does she admit any further role. Investigators said they had evidence the attack was organised from Ukraine. However, Kyiv officials said it was a case of Russian infighting. More than 30 people were wounded in the bombing in Russia's second city. Tatarsky (real name Maxim Fomin), aged 40, had been attending a patriotic meeting with supporters in the cafe as a guest speaker late on Sunday afternoon. A video circulating on social media showed a young woman in a brown coat apparently entering the cafe with a cardboard box. Images showed the box being placed on a table in the cafe before the woman sat down. Another video showed a statue being handed to Tatarsky. In a brief excerpt of her interrogation released by the Russian authorities, Darya Trepova appeared under duress as she sighed repeatedly. When her interrogator asked if she knew why she was detained, she replied: "I would say for being at the scene of Vladlen Tatarsky's murder... I brought the statuette there which blew up." Asked who gave it to her she responded: "Can I tell you later please?" What we know about detained cafe blast suspect Russia's anti-terrorism committee alleged the "terror attack" was organised by Ukrainian special services "with people co-operating with" opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The investigative committee later went further, saying it had evidence it was "planned and organised from Ukrainian territory". It was working to establish the "entire chain" of people involved, it added. Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation, which has released a series of exposés of corruption involving the Putin entourage, said it was "very convenient" for the Kremlin to blame its critics when Navalny was due to go on trial soon for extremism. Navalny has been in jail ever since he returned to Russia from Germany in January 2021. He survived a nerve agent attack in Russia in August 2020, which was blamed on Russian FSB security service agents. Foundation head Ivan Zhdanov said everything pointed to FSB agents themselves. "Naturally we have nothing to do with this," he said, adding that Russia needed an external enemy in the form of Ukraine and a domestic one in Navalny's team. Ms Trepova was detained in a St Petersburg flat owned by a friend of her husband's, Russian reports said. On the day of Russia's full-scale invasion last year she was reportedly detained for a number of days for taking part in an anti-war protest. The cafe, Street Food Bar No 1 near the River Neva, was once owned by Yevgeny Prigozhin - who runs Russia's notorious Wagner mercenary group which has taken part in much of the fighting in Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine. Prigozhin said he had handed it over to Cyber Front Z, a group that calls itself "Russia's information troops" and said it had hired out the cafe for the evening. Prigozhin paid tribute to Tatarsky in a late-night video which he declared was filmed from the town hall in Bakhmut. He displayed a flag which he said had the words "in good memory of Vladlen Tatarsky". On Monday, Tatarsky was awarded the posthumous Order of Courage by President Vladimir Putin. link: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65161095

The FCL arrangement will strengthen Morocco’s resilience in the face of potential economic crises. Rabat - The International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) executive board approved on Monday a two-year arrangement for Morocco to benefit from a $5 billion (MAD 51 billion) Flexible Credit Line (FCL), providing insurance against potential shocks and economic challenges. The credit line, which Morocco requested in early March, provides nations with “very strong policy frameworks and track records of economic performance with large, upfront access to IMF resources with no ex post conditionality,” the IMF said in a statement. According to the statement, the IMF approved Morocco’s credit line request in large part because of the country’s “very strong policies, institutional policy frameworks, and economic fundamentals and continued commitment to maintaining such policies in the future.” The FCL is set to enhance the North African country’s “external buffers” and provide insurance against potential risks on a temporary basis, indicated the IMF, adding that Moroccan authorities intend to treat the arrangement as “precautionary.” IMF Deputy Managing Director Antoinette Sayeh highlighted Morocco’s “very strong” macroeconomic policies and institutional framework, saying that it has allowed its economy to remain “resilient” in the face of successive shocks throughout the past three years. Read also: Spain to Announce €800 Million Credit Line to Boost Investments in Morocco Sayeh referred particularly to the COVID-19 pandemic, the repercussions of the war in Ukraine, as well as environmental challenges, including two droughts. “Despite this resilience, the Moroccan economy remains vulnerable to a worsening of the global economic and financial environment, higher commodity price volatility, and recurrent droughts,” she said, indicating that the IMF provides countries with protection against these possible risks. The FCL arrangement will serve as further insurance for Morocco to face these risks over the next 24 months, added the statement, noting that Moroccan authorities will exit the arrangement as soon as the period is over. Since 2012, the IMF has approved Morocco’s requests for four successive Precautionary and Liquidity Lines (PLL), the last of which expired in April 2020. However, the IMF switched to an FCL arrangement with Morocco owing to the North African country’s strong fundamentals and institutional policy frameworks. link: https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2023/04/354831/imf-approves-5-billion-crisis-prevention-credit-line-for-morocco

Vivo X100 Pro Plus might launch later this year. Vivo X100 Pro Plus camera details have surfaced online. The upcoming Vivo X-series flagship smartphone series could debut later this year. Vivo has not confirmed any details about the launch of the Vivo X90 series in India, let alone the X100 series. Meanwhile, a new leak about the Vivo X100 series camera features has surfaced online. Tipster Panda is Bald has leaked some of the new camera features said to be coming to the Vivo X100 Pro Plus 5G ahead of the official unveiling. The tipster claims that the Vivo X100 Pro Plus will feature a new V3 Image Signal Processor (ISP). This is kind of expected as the Vivo X90 series features the V2 ISP that claims to enhance the camera performance, including faster processing, improved low-light photos and videos, etc. In addition to the new custom-developed ISP, the Vivo X100 Pro Plus 5G is also said to offer support for variable aperture for the main camera. We have seen this camera tech featured previously in the Samsung Galaxy S9, which allowed the user to adjust the aperture between f/1.5 and f/2. Variable aperture, in general, gives users more control to capture well-exposed and detailed camera shots in low-light. At the moment, the variability range of the Vivo X100 Pro Plus' main camera is unknown. The tipster further added that the Vivo X100 Pro Plus 5G will feature a super ultra-wide free-form lens, which should help capture wider, clearer shots. The phone is also said to feature some form of “portrait micro-cloud platform”. The tipster did not share any details about the same, but we suspect that the feature might use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance portrait mode shots. Lastly, the camera setup is also said to feature a periscope telephoto lens with macro shooting capabilities. The periscope camera is also likely to offer better performance in low-light. The tipster did not reveal the camera sensor details. Considering we are months away from the launch, some details might leak in the coming weeks. We advise taking the leaked camera features with a pinch of salt. link: https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/news/vivo-x100-pro-plus-5g-camera-features-leaked-v3-chip-3916007

If you are looking for a way to share files between two Android devices, one of the best ways you can do this is by using Nearby Share. The feature also works on Chromebooks, making it an excellent offering for those who just want to have a seamless experience sending files from one device to another. Well, Google has finally decided to release Nearby Share for Windows. The app is currently in the beta process, but I have downloaded it and used it, and yes, it works really well if you are looking to transfer files from your PC to your Android or the other way around. It is simple, and most importantly, it is super-fast. Nearby Share on PC works like a charm and takes a few seconds to setup Now, it is worth noting that Nearby Share is not available in all regions of the world. For those who are interested in trying it out, you can download it from here. Install it, and you are good to go. You do not really need to go ahead and make any settings adjustments to how the app works. At the time of writing, this Nearby Share app's functionality is limited at best. You can adjust settings such as your device's visibility, renaming your PC, and changing the download location, but that is about it. Even the interface is pretty simple. You can have a look at it below: Moving onto the process of sending and receiving files, this is perhaps one of the smoothest. I managed to send a few files in mere seconds. However, it is worth noting with apps such as this that this highly depends on factors such as device, connection speed, and even the file size you are sending, but if you have used Nearby Share in the past, you should know that it actually works really better. Sadly, the Nearby Share is currently not available in a few regions, and if you are running an Arm device, you are out of luck because, in its current stage, the support simply is not there. However, we are sure that Google will be updating the app further as we move forward, and hopefully, we will have all the features necessary in this otherwise excellent app. link: https://wccftech.com/nearby-share-is-finally-available-on-windows-allowing-for-a-seamless-file-sharing-experience-between-windows-and-your-android-device/

The first NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 custom models by MSI have been listed by online IT retailer, Connection, with preliminary prices starting at $823 US. NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 Graphics Cards Listed In Custom Models By Online Retailer While the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 launches on the 13th of April at an MSRP of $599 US for the Founders Edition and Reference AIC variants, there will be custom models that cost a premium. It looks like one retailer in the US, Connection, has now listed several custom MSI models with what definitely look like preliminary prices. The three variants listed by the retailer include the following: RELATED STORY Hassan Mujtaba First NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Custom Models By MSI Listed By Online Retailer MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ventus 2X 12G OC - $823.00 US (G4070V2X12C) MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ventus 3X 12G OC - $865.45 US (G4070V3X12C) MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming X Trio 12G - $915.61 US (G4070GXT12) In addition to these, Australian retailers have also listed two PNY models which include a dual fan (VCG407012DFXPB1) and an XLR8 (VCG407012TFXXPB1) variant. Compared to the prices of the MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Gaming X Trio, the RTX 4070 Gaming X Trio is listed for around $50 US lower. Now, these prices are preliminary considering that we have heard that most AIBs will have models that retail at $599 US and these prices simply seem to be a case of an early listing which means that they don't matter much. What will matter is the prices at launch & also the availability of the new cards. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 targets the mainstream high-end segment so it will be quite hot in demand considering there's no other next-gen GPU in a similar price category at the moment.

Eminently Eviscerasted Event The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has formally announced that E3 2023 is canceled. E3 is a staple games industry showcase which has traditionally played host to previews for upcoming games as well as a celebration of the industry as a whole. The ESA, the owner of E3, issued a statement with producers Reedpop confirming the cancellation of E2 2023. (via Eurogamer(opens in new tab)). "This was a difficult decision because of all the effort we and our partners put toward making this event happen, but we had to do what's right for the industry and what's right for E3," said Kyle Marsden-Kish, Reedpop's Global Vice President of Gaming. The cancellation comes in the aftermath of a string of publishers pulling out of the event. In addition to the absence of Nintendo, Microsoft, and PlayStation, Ubisoft, Sega, and Tencent also withdrew their support for the event. Even Devolver Digital, who traditionally set up their own expo in a parking lot opposite E3’s main building, decided not to go ahead this year. In an interview with gamesindustry.biz(opens in new tab), ESA president and CEO Stanley Pierre-Louis shed some light on the organization’s decision to cancel the event. Pierre-Louis acknowledged three reasons for the cancellation, saying: “First, several companies have reported that the timeline for game development has been altered since the start of the COVID pandemic. Second, economic headwinds have caused several companies to reassess how they invest in large marketing events. And third, companies are starting to experiment with how to find the right balance between in-person events and digital marketing opportunities.” When asked whether or not the event would return in 2024, Pierre-Louis made no commitments, stating: “ We're committed to providing an industry platform for marketing and convening but we want to make sure we find that right balance that meets the needs of the industry.” It looks like E3 is in limbo, at least for the foreseeable future. Eventually everything ends E3 has been, for the most part, a positive element within the industry. The prospect of its (possibly permanent) cancellation is not a good thing. Though Pierre-Louis was vague in some his answers, he was right to claim that E3 and the ESA play a role as a “convener” for the industry. Beyond the spectacle and the premiers, E3 played a vital role as a communications hub, allowing different sections of the industry to meet and greet one another. It provided a much-needed human element to an industry that is becoming increasingly remote. E3 was also a rite of passage for video games professionals, as well as a way for press, developers and fans alike to ignite their passion. Videos are a labor of love at their best. At its height,, E3 was a celebration and reflection of that love. Pierre-Louis was right to emphasize the event’s “legacy” in his interview. As a teenager growing up, I saw E3 as something of a holy grail, emblematic of experiences I love and the people who made those experience possible. The E3 of yesterday may well be over as we know it, but we must not let that be the end of meaningful opportunities for in-person communication within the industry. Communities are always stronger when its members humanize one another, and events like E3 have played a significant role in reminding us all that we’re all in this together. link: https://www.techradar.com/news/e3-canceled-organizers-fail-to-confirm-a-2024-return

This is the fourth year the game has offered a special battle royale mode for the silly holiday. While it may be the Lone Survivor character's dream, a new mode for PUBG featuring zombies, exploding apples, and a humongous chicken is very real. It's called Bizarre Battle Royale and available in the game through April 10. Bizarre Battle Royale is the latest April Fool's Day mode for PUBG, marking the fourth year in a row the game has celebrated the holiday. This time, players can take down zombies to gain OP coins that can purchase OP items, like a sensory booster to see enemies through walls. There's also a gigantic chicken stomping around that can cluck out fire like a dragon. Cutting the creature down to size can also lead to OP items too. Players who drop into the Bizarre Battle Royale mode once will receive a Bizarre Survivor Emblem. Parachute into the special timed event five times or more, and the game will give you a Hunter's Chest/Key. The three previous April Fool's Day modes for PUBG were: Fantasy Battle Royale in 2020, POBG in 2021, and Monster Chicken Royale in 2022. Earlier this month, PUBG celebrated its sixth anniversary with a slew of stats. For instance, over 150 million people have played the battle royale game. Looking ahead, PUBG's future could possibly include a new engine and mods. link": https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pubg-battlegrounds-brings-back-big-chicken-and-adds-zombies-for-april-fools-day/1100-6512874/

I was somewhere around Whiterun on the edge of Fort Greymoor when the skooma began to take hold. Things became washed-out and smeary, and then there was two of everything including me and my pet elytra—an odd kind of mantis-looking bug who I realized, seeing two of the bizarre insect beside me, probably wasn't the best companion to bring on a 10-skooma bender. Skooma is a narcotic substance made of refined moon sugar that's banned in some parts of Tamriel due to its addictiveness, though considered a sacred sacrament by the khajiit. In Morrowind and Oblivion it fortified your speed and strength while draining your intelligence and agility, while in Skyrim it simply restores stamina. Its addictiveness and hallucinatory qualities have never really been modeled by any of the Elder Scrolls games—until now. JaySerpa is responsible for the Skyrim on Skooma mod(opens in new tab), which not only makes skooma addictive, but adds 69 different psychedelic experiences you'll randomly enjoy one of each time you consume a bottle of the madgod's favorite tipple. It may sound like a joke, and it was uploaded on April 1st, but it's clearly a labor of love that took JaySerpa about five months to create. One of the best Skyrim mods? Well, I think so. The next bottle I drank made me feel 10 feet tall, like Alice in the song. Actually it was probably closer to 30 feet tall. While I jogged over to a nearby giant shepherding some mammoths to compare heights, the world cycled through colors—purple, orange, blue, each one as vivid as an ugly reshade mod. Thinking that at this size I could probably take the giant and his mammoths, I readied my mace, only for the 60-second duration of skooma to end, leaving me my original height. So I drank another. "This skooma is to lose your head for!" a text pop-up announced as a swirl of red light whooshed around me. Switching to third-person camera I saw that was literally true. I'd lost my head, leaving only a jagged red stump with a shard of white bone jutting out of the center. The mammoths, now charging at me because I'd wandered too close to them, weren't put off by this, and nor were the three wolves who subsequently appeared to join the party. I bravely ran away as the color contrast went wild, leaving the mammoths to start stomping the wolves instead of me and my elytra friend. The bottle after that turned me into an unmoving chair for a slow 60 seconds, while the one after that ramped up the colors again, this time cycling through the kind of "why is this option in the photo mode anyway" settings that make everything look like an optical illusion designed to stain your vision when you look away. I killed the last wolf as everything turned so blue I couldn't see it, then a hazard yellow that really brought out the red of my dark elf's eyes. "You feel the urge for more skooma", another pop-up informed me, and I figured why stop now, since I'd used Skyrim's console commands to give myself heaps of the stuff (~ to bring up the console, "player.additem 00057A7A" followed by the number of bottles you'd like, you're welcome). Sure, becoming addicted takes away 30 points of your health, stamina, and mana, but only when you're not drinking skooma. There's an easy solution to that problem: drink more skooma. Since the next bottle had the effect of boosting my archery score, I figured why not have another before the effects wore off? And that was when I passed out, which is what happens if you don't wait for one trip to end before embarking on the next. I responsibly waited for the timer to run down before I drank another, and immediately passed out again. The strange vision that followed sure looked like the opening credits of a videogame, only instead of transitioning to a cart ride, it ended with me lying on the floor of a hovel near Ivarstead. A filthy down-and-out named Roluf who knew the dangers of skooma well woke me up and gave me a glimpse of my bleak future if I stayed on this path. That might have made me walk away from a life of skooming out, if I'd been able to stand up to do so. Instead, I was stuck in the lying-down pose even as I flew out of the building, which may have been a bug rather than part of the trip, but who can tell? I fixed it by fast traveling to Ivarstead, where I figured I may as well neck the last bottle, just to keep it out of circulation. It was worth it, because that was when the magnificent goat appeared. The goat wore a floppy hat, left rainbows beneath its hooves, and was named Cabrita Bartholomew according to the prompt that suggested I ride Cabrite Bartholomew. Of course I did, with my elytra by my side. Who knows what adventures we'll have next? The Skyrim on Skooma mod is available for Skyrim Special Edition(opens in new tab), as well as original flavor Skyrim(opens in new tab). You can safely install this mod mid-playthrough without having to worry about any effect it'll have on your save file, although your health and mental stability are another matter. link: https://www.pcgamer.com/i-found-a-skyrim-mod-that-adds-skooma-hallucinations-now-im-a-drug-addict-with-an-imaginary-goat/
