That would definitely describe Aliens: Colonial Marines, in which the xenomorphs were decidedly un-threatening.
Creative Assembly says they have been working on the game for three years. This video showcases PlayStation 4 gameplay; the game will also release on the Xbox One and PC.
Xbox also released this announcement trailer for the game today:<|endoftext|>Guardtime, a cyber security company providing cryptographic solutions for various industries through a unique blockchain system, has recently announced its plans to develop a security infrastructure for UK nuclear power plants, flood defence systems and electricity distribution grids.
Guardtime will work in partnership with Future Cities Catapult, a UK-based centre of excellence for smart city innovation, wrote the company in its blog on 14 December.
The blockchain employed by Guardtime differs from blockchains used in cryptocurrencies. It is based on the Keyless Signature Infrastructure (KSI) technology. It doesn��t require the proof-of-work verification method. Instead, it works with hash cryptography. KSI relies on the integrity of a hash function to guarantee the integrity of the data.
According to the company��s website, this system allows to verify three properties of the data. Time: the system knows when the data was signed. Integrity: whether the underlying data has changed. Order: which data was signed in which order.
Unlike the bitcoin blockchain, the KSI blockchain doesn��t grow linearly with the number of transactions. It grows linearly with time, regardless the number of transactions.
The number of participants of the KSI consensus protocol is limited, which means that consensus may be achieved in sync. And the synchronised consensus mechanism makes the system more scalable and flexible, allowing its application to various purposes. This scalability gives KSI an advantage compared to cryptocurrency blockchains, says Guardtime��s business development chief Jamie Steiner quoted by the International Business Times.

Cotton, who has been in the Senate since 2015, moved the location of the meeting multiple times before settling on Springdale High School in Northwest Arkansas, Arkansas Online reports.
He agreed to hold the meeting after his office in that area of the state was picketed earlier this month, according to the newspaper. Activists with the group Indivisible called on him to hold the town hall meeting to take questions from his constituents.
��I look forward to welcoming Arkansans at Wednesday��s town hall at the Pat Walker Performing Arts Center on the Campus of Springdale High School and I appreciate your patience as we��ve changed venues over the past few days,�� Cotton said in a press release. ��On Sunday evening, the Bentonville school board approved the use of the Arend Arts Center, but they withdrew their offer after the Bentonville police chief expressed concerns over security. I��m grateful the Springdale School Board has made their larger facility available, and I want to encourage as many Arkansans as possible to come to what should be an engaging and informative event.��
The center holds about 1,200 people.
Caitlynn Moses, of Ozark Indivisible, who opposes President Donald Trump, told Arkansas Online, ��I��m just glad to have a solid venue, a real space,�� she said. ��Hopefully, this hasn��t messed with people too much and they��ll still come.��
The meeting with Cotton, whose views fall mostly in line with those of Trump and his supporters, came after the president and some Republicans claimed town halls being held by Republican Congressmen are being flooded with paid protesters or people who live outside their districts.
The so-called angry crowds in home districts of some Republicans are actually, in numerous cases, planned out by liberal activists. Sad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 21, 2017
��There��s a hybrid there: I think some people are clearly upset, but there is a bit of professional protester, manufactured base in there,�� White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said at his Wednesday briefing, according to The Hill. ��Obviously there are people who are upset, but I also think that when you look at some of these districts and some of these things, it is not a representation of a member��s district or an incident. It is a loud, small group of people disrupting something in many cases for media attention.��<|endoftext|>NASA is asking the private space industry how to make its future Mars vehicles more affordable.
