hey! how are you? i was wondering if you knew something similar to srwe that can work on mac? thanks on advance

Hi there!

There’s another program called Windowed Borderless Gaming (WBG) that does the same as SRWE in a slightly different way, I’m not sure if that works on a Mac, you could try. Same with GeDoSaTo. The limitation may be because of differences in how windows are rendered between the two operating systems, in which case separate versions of the tools would need to be made.

Incidentally, for Windows users, those two other programs are worth downloading if you play other games, because sometimes SRWE won’t work but one of the others will, and vice versa. Unfortunately though sometimes a game simply won’t hotsample at all *glares at no mans sky*

There is also DSR (dynamic super resolution, if you have an nvidia card) — I’m not sure whether graphics drivers are entirely different for Macs (it’s been ages since I had one and I don’t think I ever once updated my driver while I had it), but certainly on Windows machines you can go into the nvidia control panel to specify a set of additional resolutions you want to be able to use in games, and then in DSR-compatible games you can choose one of those resolutions in the game menu. This is downsampling, rather than hotsampling, and requires a decent computer to use because you’ll be playing the game at those larger resolutions, rather than just quickly changing it for a screenshot. This is how I took my 4k shots in No Man’s Sky (until the Beyond update, which has ruined performance for almost everyone T_T).

Was ist eine Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft?

Eine moderne deutsche Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft (WBG) ist eine Genossenschaft, die sich dem Bau, Kauf oder der Vermietung von Wohnraum widmet. Im Folgenden erläutere ich die Funktionsweise einer WBG in Deutschland: - Gründung: Die Gründung einer WBG erfolgt durch eine Gruppe von Menschen, die sich zusammenschließen, um gemeinsam Wohnraum zu schaffen oder zu erwerben. Die Gründungsmitglieder leisten eine Einlage, um das Eigenkapital der Genossenschaft zu erhöhen. - Mitgliedschaft: Jedes Mitglied hat in der WBG eine Stimme, unabhängig von der Höhe der Einlage. Die Mitglieder wählen einen Vorstand, der die Geschäfte der Genossenschaft führt. - Finanzierung: Die WBG finanziert ihre Projekte durch die Einlagen der Mitglieder, durch Kredite von Banken oder durch öffentliche Fördermittel. Die Genossenschaft ist bestrebt, eine wirtschaftlich gesunde Basis zu haben, um dauerhaft bezahlbaren Wohnraum bereitzustellen. - Wohnungsvergabe: Die WBG vergibt Wohnungen an ihre Mitglieder auf Basis eines Punktesystems, das die Länge der Mitgliedschaft, die Höhe der Einlage und die persönlichen Verhältnisse des Bewerbers berücksichtigt. Die Mieten sind in der Regel moderat und werden von den Mitgliedern gemeinsam festgelegt. - Gemeinschaft: Eine WBG ist mehr als nur ein Wohnungsanbieter. Sie bietet ihren Mitgliedern oft Gemeinschaftsräume, Freizeitangebote und Veranstaltungen an, um das Zusammenleben und den Austausch innerhalb der Genossenschaft zu fördern. - Mitbestimmung: Jedes Mitglied hat ein Mitspracherecht bei Entscheidungen der WBG. Die Genossenschaft organisiert regelmäßig Mitgliederversammlungen, auf denen die Mitglieder über wichtige Angelegenheiten abstimmen können. - Haftung: Die Mitglieder haften nur mit ihrer Einlage für die Verbindlichkeiten der Genossenschaft. Das bedeutet, dass das Risiko für jeden einzelnen begrenzt ist. Insgesamt kann man sagen, dass eine moderne deutsche Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft eine solidarische Form des Wohnens darstellt, die auf den Prinzipien der Selbstverantwortung, Mitbestimmung und Gemeinschaft beruht. www.nova-sedes.de - Nova Sedes Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft Bayern - Vermögenswirksame Leistungen - Nova Sedes Wohnungsbau - Die Vermögensanlage | Nova Sedes Wohnungsbau eG - Kontaktbereich | Nova Sedes Wohnungsbau eG - Wir über uns | Nova Sedes Wohnungsbau eG - Impressum | Nova Sedes Wohnungsbau eG - Immobilien Weiden i.d.Opf. | Nova Sedes Wohnungsbau eG - Downloadbereich | Nova Sedes Wohnungsbau eG - Wie kündige ich Nova Sedes? - FAQ | Nova Sedes Wohnungsbau eG - Nova Sedes Wohnungsbau Linksammlung - Newsbereich | Nova Sedes Wohnungsbau eG - Die neue "Stadt in der Stadt" in ST.

Pandemic Bonds

The World Bank is trying to insure against one of the worst crises in the world: a pandemic.  The Economist reports that the World Bank:

…has issued $425m in pandemic bonds to support its new Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility (PEF), which is intended to channel funding to countries facing a deadly disease.  The bonds cover six viruses likely to spark outbreaks: new influenza viruses, coronaviruses (like SARS and MERS), filoviruses (like Ebola), Lassa fever, Rift Valley fever and Crimean Congo fever. Investors forgo their principal when a virus reaches a predetermined contagion level, based on rate of growth, number of deaths and whether it crosses international borders. The facility covers 77 of the world’s poorest countries.

The World Bank FAQ are here.  These FAQ’s provide some interesting precedents in the world of catastrophe bonds.

One example is the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF), designed to provide participating countries with access to affordable and effective coverage against natural disasters. Another example is the Pacific Catastrophic Risk Facility (PCRAFI), a risk insurance pool of five small Pacific islands that was also incubated by the Bank. A third example is the Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool (TCIP), a mandatory scheme for homeowners’ earthquake insurance, which was backed by WBG financing at inception.

This is a interesting proposal to help developing countries secure funding in the case a pandemic occurs.  However, if the World Bank invests these funds, one may wonder whether financial markets would crash in the case of a large scale pandemic resulting in an insolvent fund.  Let’s hope that does not happen, but I am curious what precautions were taken to avoid this scenarios.

RECRUITMENT TYPEInternational Hire

LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTEnglish [Essential]; French [Desired]

CLOSING DATE24-Feb-2017

Background / General description:

Established in 1944, the WBG is one of the world’s largest sources of funding and knowledge for development solutions. In fiscal year 2014, the WBG committed $65.6 billion in loans, grants, equity investments and guarantees to its members and private businesses, of which $22.2 billion was concessional finance to its poorest members. It is governed by 188 member countries and delivers services out of 120 offices with nearly 15,000 staff located globally. The WBG consists of five specialized institutions: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). IBRD and IDA are commonly known as the World Bank, which is organized into six client-facing Regional Vice-Presidencies, several corporate functions, and – as of July 1, 2014 – has introduced fourteen Global Practices (GPs) as well as five Cross-Cutting Solution Areas (CCSAs) to bring best-in-class knowledge and solutions to regional and country clients.GLOBAL PRACTICES & CROSS-CUTTING SOLUTIONS AREASThe 14 GPs are: Agriculture; Education; Energy and Extractives; Environment and Natural Resources; Finance and Markets; Governance; Health, Nutrition and Population; Macroeconomics and Fiscal Management; Poverty; Social Protection and Labor; Social, Urban, Rural and Resilience; Trade and Competitiveness; Transport and ICT; and Water. The 5 CCSAs are: Climate Change; Fragility, Conflict and Violence; Gender; Jobs; and Public-Private Partnerships.  The new operating model is part of a broader internal reform aimed at delivering the best of the World Bank Group to our clients, so that together we can achieve the twin goals of (1) ending extreme poverty by 2030, and (2) promote shared prosperity for the bottom 40% of the population in every developing country. THE “SOCIAL, URBAN, RURAL AND RESILIENCE” (SURR) GLOBAL PRACTICE

Urbanization is occurring at an unprecedented pace. Cities generate 80% of global GDP and are key to job creation and the pursuit of shared prosperity.  Yet one billion city residents live in slums today, and by 2030 one billion new migrants will arrive in cities.  This concentration of people and assets will exacerbate risk exposure to adverse natural events and climate change, which affects the poor disproportionately.  The absence of secure land tenure underpins deprivation and is a major source of conflict in the urban and rural space.  One and a half billion people live in countries affected by repeated cycles of violence.  In the absence of services, participative planning and responsive institutions, these trends will result in increased poverty, social exclusion, vulnerability and violence.  Finally, avoiding a 4-degree warmer world requires drastically reducing the carbon footprint of cities.

The WBG is in a unique position to support national and sub-national clients to: harness urbanization and enable effective land management in support of both growth and poverty reduction; foster social inclusion of marginalized groups; support the responsiveness and fiscal, financial, and management capacities of local governments – cities, municipalities, and rural districts – to deliver local infrastructure and decentralized services; strengthen resilience and risk management related to natural disasters; reduce conflict and violence; scale-up access to finance for sub-national governments; and reduce the carbon footprint of cities.  The WBG brings a combination of lending ($7-8 billion in annual lending to cities), analytical and advisory services (e.g., social inclusion flagship, urbanization reviews, Sendai dialogue), its growing portfolio of reimbursable advisory services, its convening power (e.g., understanding risk and the land conferences), its leveraging capacity (e.g., guarantees and risk mitigation), and its ability to work with the private sector to tackle the challenges at scale and to effect.

The SURR GP covers a wide gamut: (i) developing green, inclusive and resilient cities; (ii) addressing the social inclusion of the poor, vulnerable and excluded groups through accountable institutions, and ensuring compliance with social safeguards; (iii) enhancing urban and rural development through supporting and managing the urban-rural transition, assisting local development through developing land tenure, management and information systems; and (iv) assisting in disaster risk management.

To support the growing engagement on urban/spatial development, DRM/resilience, and conflict/fragility SURR is seeking a Senior Urban/DRM Specialist to lead and support its operational, technical assistance and analytical work in Nigeria as well as to support the growing sub regional program in West Africa.

The World Bank Group is committed to achieving diversity in terms of gender, nationality, culture and educational background.  Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.  All applications will be treated in the strictest confidence.
