PS5発売 事前予約で完売、異例の品薄続く 転売横行に消費者不満も - SankeiBiz

Posted: 11 Nov 2020 06:13 PM PST

desimpul.blogspot.com

 ソニー・インタラクティブエンタテインメント(SIE)が12日に発売した新型家庭用ゲーム機「プレイステーション(PS)5」は、一部の店舗で予約の抽選倍率が100倍になるなど、事前予約で完売し、発売当日に小売店での店頭販売が実施されないほどの異例の品薄となっている。性能の高さが売りのPS5に対し、史上最多の売り上げを期待する声もある。ただ、定価の2倍以上での転売も横行しており、ソニーは対応を誤れば、お祭りムードに水を差しかねない。

 ソニーはPS5の初年度の販売目標としてPS4の初年度実績の760万台超えを掲げる。楽天証券経済研究所の今中能夫チーフアナリストは「PS5は税込みで5万円台だが、十数万円のゲーム用パソコンと同等の性能」と指摘、「海外のゲームユーザーの関心が高く、当面は製造した分だけ売れる」と分析する。今中氏は「6年で2億台は堅い」と7年弱で約1億台を売り上げたPS4のほぼ倍の売れ行きを予想する。

 世界のゲーム市場は欧米が大半を占める。ソニーも欧米優先の姿勢を強めており、PS5の国内流通には時間がかかりそうだ。

 こうした状況に、ソニーや量販店が実施した予約抽選には転売目的の応募も殺到。ある量販店では倍率が100倍にまで膨れ上がった。その結果、フリーマーケットアプリやネットオークションではPS5が十数万円で取引されており、品薄に拍車が掛かっている。

 米国での抽選では実際にゲームを遊んだ履歴がある人が優先されるなどの転売対策がとられた。日本での対策について、ソニーは明らかにしていない。

 ソニーは5日、公式ウェブサイトで「発売日に関してはご予約分にて完売となっております」とコメントした。動画投稿サイト「ユーチューブ」の有名配信者を起用し、期待感をあおるような宣伝を繰り返していただけに、ゲームファンの落胆は大きく「もう少しユーザーのことを考えて発売してほしかった」などと批判が殺到している。

 PS5は製造コストが価格を上回る「逆ざや」とみられる。ソニーはゲーム機本体の価格を抑えて普及させ、月額課金サービスやゲームソフトの売り上げで稼ぐ中長期の戦略を描く。転売によって本体の流通が阻害されれば、収益モデルが根底から崩れる。企業倫理に詳しい慶応大の梅津光弘准教授は「転売の規制は難しい。企業は転売されることを前提に、流通を管理しなければ、消費者は離れていく」と話した。(高木克聡)

The Latest: Lincoln Project taking on GOP-linked law firms - Beaumont Enterprise

Posted: 11 Nov 2020 06:08 PM PST

5:45 p.m.

The Lincoln Project has announced plans to launch an advertising campaign against two law firms over their role representing President Donald Trump and the Republican Party in their voter fraud-related lawsuits.

On Twitter on Tuesday, the anti-Trump political action committee run by former Republican insiders also urged people to find employees of Jones Day and Porter Wright Morris & Arthur through their social media accounts and "ask them how they can work for an organization trying to overturn the will of the American people."

The group suggested it would also pressure clients to drop the firms. By the end of the day, Porter Wright had deleted its Twitter account, which was being inundated with attacks. A message seeking comment was left with Porter Wright.

Jones Day responded that it is not representing the president, his campaign "or any affiliated party in any litigation alleging voter fraud," but the Pennsylvania GOP, in litigation brought by private parties and the state's Democratic Party. That litigation resulted in the order that extended the deadline for returning mail-in ballots that was set by Pennsylvania state lawmakers.

There is no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN'S TRANSITION TO THE WHITE HOUSE:

President-elect Joe Biden is championing the Obama administration's signature health law as it goes before the Supreme Court in a case that could overturn it.

— GOP tries again to get high court to ax health care law

— What's ascertainment? The green light to launch transition

— Candidate concessions have been colorful, funny — or absent

— GOP backs Trump as he fights election results, transition

— Much at stake as Supreme Court weighs future of 'Obamacare'

___

HERE'S WHAT ELSE YOU NEED TO KNOW:

5:25 p.m.

The Biden campaign's lawyer is dismissing President Donald Trump's legal challenges to Joe Biden's victory as "theatrics" that are intended "to instill in the minds of some portion of the populace that the election was illegitimate."

Bob Bauer said Tuesday on a call with reporters that the Trump campaign is trying to "throw obstacles in the path of the government." But he said the transition was continuing regardless of any issues playing out in the courts.

"In the meantime," he says, "there'll be theater, but it'll be playing to increasingly light crowds, until it empties out completely and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris take their oath of office."

Biden was declared the winner of the election on Saturday, but Trump is refusing to concede.

Biden's chief counsel, Dana Remus, said the presidential transition process would not be derailed by the General Services Administration's refusal to name Biden the official winner.

Remus says Trump and his allies "are trying everything to interfere with the inevitable." But she says, "We are pushing forward, and we are confident that the inevitable is a very successful administration."

___

4 p.m.

The national intelligence director's office says it can't begin engaging with President-elect Joe Biden's team until a federal agency starts the process of transition, which the Trump administration is delaying.

The office, which oversees all U.S. intelligence agencies, said it must follow the Presidential Transition Act, which requires the General Services Administration to first ascertain the winner of the election Trump is contesting.

Intelligence agencies have given general intelligence briefings -- minus information on covert operations and sources and methods -- to presidential nominees since 1952. Biden started receiving them soon after he became the Democratic presidential nominee. It's unclear if he is still getting them.

Some presidents have allowed their successors to receive the President's Daily Brief, containing the nation's most sensitive intelligence information. President Donald Trump would have to authorize Biden to receive that brief.

A Biden transition spokesperson declined to comment on the briefings.

___

3:25 p.m.

President-elect Joe Biden has released the names of his agency review teams, the groups of transition staffers that are typically afforded access to key agencies in the current administration to help smooth the transfer of power.

The president's transition team released the names of hundreds of people on the teams. They'll collect and review information ranging from budgetary and staffing decisions, pending regulations and other work in progress from current staff at the federal departments.

It remains unclear, however, how much engagement the Biden transition staffers will have with their counterparts at the various government agencies because President Donald Trump's administration has yet to formally recognize Biden as the president-elect. A formal recognition from the General Services Administration is needed to allow Biden transition staff access to federal workers and much of the information they'll need.

More than half of the staff on the teams are women, and approximately 40% "represent communities historically underrepresented in the federal government, including people of color, people who identify as LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities."

___

3:10 p.m.

President Donald Trump has created a new leadership PAC as he continues to refuse to concede the election to to President-elect Joe Biden.

Paperwork for the Save America political action committee was filed with the Federal Election Commission on Monday evening.

Campaign emails soliciting money for the president's "OFFICIAL ELECTION DEFENSE FUND!" now direct to a website that shows contributions will now be split among Save America, the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee.

And 60% of each contribution will go to Save America, up to $5,000.

The committee will allow Trump to maintain his political influence even after he leaves office by raising and distributing money for candidates, along with funding travel, polling and other campaign costs.

Trump has not ruled out running again in 2024 after losing his reelection bid.

___

3:05 p.m.

President-elect Joe Biden says President Donald Trump's failure to recognize his victory is an "embarrassment."

It marked the sharpest critique yet from the incoming president at the incumbent, as Trump's team has refused to formally begin preparations for the transition.

Taking questions from reporters Tuesday for the first time since his victory, Biden predicted that "it will not help the president's legacy."

Biden says regardless of the Trump administration's actions, his planning to assume power on Jan. 20 is continuing as scheduled.

___

3:03 p.m.

President-elect Joe Biden says he hopes Democrats pick up two Senate seats in January's runoff elections but doesn't fear getting his Cabinet picks through the chamber if it stays in Republican hands.

Biden said in Wilmington, Delaware, on Tuesday that he is "not a pessimist" and takes Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell "at his word" in saying that he would work with him on getting nominees in position.

Biden said he hoped the two Democrats competing in January Senate runoffs in Georgia would be able to shift the chamber back toward Democratic control. If the Senate were to be evenly divided, it would be up to Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to break a tie.

Biden also said he hopes to be able to announce some of his Cabinet picks before Thanksgiving.

___

3 p.m.

Joe Biden says his transition team will not be taking legal action to try to force the Trump administration to officially acknowledge him as the president-elect.

Biden told reporters Tuesday that "I don't see a need for legal action, quite frankly."

Much of the formal transition work doesn't begin until the administrator of the General Services Administration ascertains the "apparent successful candidate" in the election, and that has not happened yet amid legal challenges by President Donald Trump to election results in some states.

The GSA's failure to designate Biden the official winner bars the Democrat and his team from receiving federal funds for his transition and from getting access to the agencies they'll need to work with to smooth the transition of power.

He also is not receiving a daily classified briefing on security threats typically afforded to the president-elect.

Biden said that the briefing "would be useful, but it's not necessary," and that his transition team didn't need the federal funds to continue their work. He says, "We don't see anything slowing us down."

___

2:50 p.m.

President-elect Joe Biden says "nothing going to stop" his administration's moving forward despite President Donald Trump's refusal to concede the race.

Biden said in Wilmington, Delaware, on Tuesday that his transition is "well underway" and that he is reviewing potential Cabinet picks and other positions.

Biden said some Republicans' denial of his victory "is not at much consequence in our plan and what we're able to do between now and Jan. 20."

Asked by a reporter what he would say to Trump, Biden said, "Mr. President, looking forward to speaking with you."

___

2:47 p.m.

President-elect Joe Biden says the Republican-backed challenge to the Affordable Care Act in the Supreme Court is "cruel and needlessly divisive." But he's promising that, regardless of the outcome of that lawsuit, he will enact reforms to expand coverage when he's in office in January.

During remarks Tuesday in Wilmington, Delaware, Biden warned that if the lawsuit is successful, millions of Americans would lose health care coverage during the coronavirus pandemic. He characterized the lawsuit as an "effort to bypass the will of the American people, the verdict of the courts in the past, the judgments of Congress," noting that the ACA had weathered previous court challenges and legislative efforts to dismantle it.

But Biden has also acknowledged issues with the ACA, which was the Obama administration's signature legislative achievement, and pledged to fix it. On Tuesday, Biden said his transition team was working to "flesh out the details" on a plan to get Americans universal health care and lower health care costs "as soon as humanly possible."

___

2:45 p.m.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris says that each vote for President-elect Joe Biden was in support of the Affordable Care Act he helped craft during the Obama administration.

During remarks Tuesday in Wilmington, Delaware, Harris said that Biden "won the election decisively," and that "every vote for Joe Biden was a statement that health care in America should be a right, not a privilege."

Harris also noted that, if the Affordable Care Act is dismantled, "communities of color would be hit particularly hard ... because they are at a greater risk for preexisting conditions," as well as complications from the coronavirus.

Harris spoke ahead of remarks from Biden and following oral arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court. Earlier Tuesday, justices heard oral arguments from opponents of the health care program, arguing the 10-year-old statute was rendered unconstitutional in its entirety when Congress dialed down to zero a penalty on those remaining uninsured.

___

2:15 p.m.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is brushing aside results of last week's presidential election showing that President Donald Trump lost his bid for a second term.

Pompeo told reporters Tuesday with a grin that the "transition" to a second Trump term would be "smooth," but later said the State Department was prepared for any eventuality. Trump has refused to concede to President-elect Joe Biden.

Pompeo ignored results showing that Biden had won the election, and he also dismissed as "ridiculous" questions about whether the U.S. had lost credibility as a judge of other countries' election because of Trump's unproven claims of fraud at the polls.

"There will be a smooth transition to second Trump administration, " Pompeo said with a chuckle, before reverting to a more nuanced response. "We're ready. The world is watching what's taking place here. We're going to count all the votes."

He said the "world should have every confidence" that the State Department is "successful today" and that it will be "successful with the president who's in office on Jan. 20 a minute after noon."

___

12:55 p.m.

President-elect Joe Biden has spoken to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, leaders of three of the United States' most important European allies.

Johnson's support for Brexit and warm relationship with President Donald Trump have made many Democrats wary, but he was nonetheless among the first European leaders to congratulate Biden in a phone call.

Johnson's office said the two men "discussed the close and longstanding relationship" between the two countries and promised to strengthen those bonds in areas including trade and security. In the 25-minute call, they also promised to work on "shared priorities, from tackling climate change, to promoting democracy, and building back better from the coronavirus pandemic," Downing St. said.

"Build back better" is a slogan that Biden and the British government have in common.

Johnson invited Biden to attend the COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow next November and said he looked forward to seeing him at a G-7 summit that the U.K. is due to host in 2021.

The French president's office released a video of Macron in his office, offering congratulations to Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris during a call on Tuesday afternoon.

___

11:50 a.m.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, will leave his job as a partner with a high-profile law firm to focus on his role in the new Biden administration.

A campaign spokeswoman said Tuesday that Emhoff will sever ties with DLA Piper by Inauguration Day. Emhoff took a leave of absence from the firm in August, when Harris was named Joe Biden's running mate. Biden and Harris will be inaugurated Jan. 20.

While Emhoff is not a lobbyist, the firm has lobbied the federal government on behalf of a range of corporate clients. Ethics experts say that connection could have presented an appearance of conflicts of interest as the Biden administration tries to restore trust and ethics in government following President Donald Trump's norm-shattering presidency.

Emhoff is working with the transition team to determine the issues he will take on as the vice presidential spouse. He is the first man to hold that role, as Harris is the nation's first female vice president.

___

11:20 a.m.

U.S. defense officials said James Anderson, the top policy adviser at the Pentagon, submitted his resignation Tuesday, a day after President Donald Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper. Anderson has been the acting undersecretary for policy since June. Previously he served as the deputy undersecretary since his confirmation for that job in August 2018.

Trump's firing of Esper comes as he has refused to concede his election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

Defense officials spoke about Anderson's resignation on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters.

A wide range of policy staff positions in the Pentagon have been filled with people on an acting basis over the past year or more, as a number of staff have left or have not been confirmed.

Chris Miller, who was tapped to serve as the Pentagon chief on Monday after Esper was fired, was in his second day in the building, meeting with top staff.

Goal setting leads to self-fulfillment – The Simpsonian - The Simpsonian

Posted: 11 Nov 2020 05:42 PM PST

The object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result. 

College students are busy. It's a given fact, but that doesn't mean you should forget the importance of setting goals and rewarding yourself.

Goal setting should be a normal routine in daily lives for many reasons. I believe the most crucial reason for goal setting is to feel a sense of accomplishment.

According to the University of Central Florida, mastering this skill comes with many benefits. Without a clear definition of what success means to you, how will you ever know what you achieve?

Maybe it's conceited. Maybe it should be a boost of confidence. The only person who can tell you what you are capable of is you, and nothing is more rewarding than experiencing that first hand. 

Motivation is an indispensable element in life. Expecting to experience motivation will be difficult if you fall out of reach to many things. It could be something as simple as setting a daily goal by doing your laundry. As soon as you accomplish that goal, it will give you the motivation to set more. 

It's effortless to mentally introduce goals into your lifestyle, but journaling and writing them down hold you accountable. This could be on sticky notes on your bathroom mirror, a separate journal you leave open on your desk, or even in your planner.

Speaking of your planner, did you know you set goals every day in it? It might look something like "COMM 275 homework" or "email professor about registration." Whether you believe it or not, those are all goals. 

You won't always attain your goals every single day, but putting them into words makes a good start; they crossed your mind, and that's the point. My planner follows me everywhere, and I write down everything. I write down everything because it is extremely gratifying to cross something out, saying, 'I did that.'

Short term goals lead to long term goals. They serve as a progress report for life, your semester academic status, or your mental health. Looking back two years ago, I never would have been able to accomplish the things I do in a day.

As much as achieving is fulfilling, it could also be dissatisfying. Children, students, and adults experience stagnation daily. Not everyone is capable of crushing 17 goals every day, or even one for that matter. There are some days where I accomplish none, and that's okay because I know I have some for tomorrow that I can go get.

Goal setting is good for reminding yourself to relax as much as to be proactive throughout your day. From experience, I find it difficult to relax when I have a paper due in two weeks because I could definitely be working on it and end up guilt-tripping myself into attempting this paper I have no motivation for. Before you even ask, yes, I set reminders to cut myself some slack and give myself a break.

It's easy to forget that as much as you want to goal set, not all of them are attainable day in and day out. Remember to give yourself breaks, remind yourself of all you've managed to accomplish that day, and do your best not to beat yourself up. 

My intention was to encourage you to remind yourself daily how proud you are of how far you've come and to maybe invest in a planner. A pack of sticky notes would do fine if you aren't a commitment person. 

Taking 16 credit hours, playing a sport, co-chair of this organization, member of that organization, social media coordinator for this, Dean's List, volunteer at this shelter, all while a global pandemic turns our lives around. 

Family and business professionals ask us how we do it. We say it's because we have ambition, but ambition stems from motivation, follows goal setting.

Artis REIT: Break-Up Will Deliver Value, But Who Will Wield The Hammer? - Seeking Alpha

Artis REIT: Break-Up Will Deliver Value, But Who Will Wield The Hammer? - Seeking Alpha

PIPER - Disney Pixar Short (Animation Teaser - Movie HD) - YouTube

Sandpiper - Pixar Short

Artis REIT (OTCPK:ARESF) (TSX:AX/UN) 3Q20 results demonstrated stability in each of its business segments that should increase investor confidence in the company's IFRS asset value ($15.35/unit). The key challenge for the company is to implement corporate actions to deliver that value to investors. The Special Committee of Independent Trustees concluded its Strategic Review in May without announcing a transaction, however, "some ongoing dialogue continues". Unitholder pressure is likely to result in a sale or break-up.

Topics:

  • History of Strategic Initiatives
  • Sandpiper Proxy Campaign and Artis Response
  • Preferred Holder Firm Capital Opposes Retail Spinoff
  • 3Q20 Operating Results
  • Break-Up
  • Investment Considerations

(all amounts in the article in Canadian dollars)

History Of Strategic Initiatives

Artis management and board have been under pressure for several years due to:

  • High legacy exposure to the province of Alberta (39% of 2014 NOI) where falling oil prices weakened the economy and led to severe office vacancy rates and falling rents.
  • Diversified business model (Office + Retail + Industrial in the US + Canada) that is out of favor with investors. Other diversified Canadian REITs are also trading at large discounts to IFRS NAV as of 11/06/20 (Brookfield 48%, Morguard 78%, Cominar 50%)
  • Activist unitholder (Sandpiper Group) since 2018, low insider ownership (1%), and absence of any large supportive unitholders
  • Below average long-term total return. Artis units traded in line with the sector until 2018 when a distribution cut served as a catalyst for the unit price to drop in reflection of several years of deteriorating performance (falling asset value and FFO due to Alberta exposure). The all-time high unit price was reached in 2007.

Artis has launched a series of initiatives in response to the pressure:

  • 2018 Strategic Plan - In November 2018, Artis announced a plan to sell $800mm of assets (especially Calgary Office), repurchase $250mm of units, reduce leverage, and invest in industrial developments.
  • 2019 Review of Strategic Alternatives - In May 2019, Artis announced the formation of a Special Committee of Independent Trustees to "review and evaluate additional strategic alternatives that may arise". The Committee concluded its work in May 2020. Artis 3Q20 MD&A explained:

  • 2020 Strategic Plan including Retail Spinoff - In September 2020, Artis announced that it would sell an additional $550mm of assets and spin off its retail assets to a new public REIT. During the conference call, describing the plan, CEO Armin Martens acknowledged that the diversified business model was responsible for the low unit valuation:

There's an old saying the customer is always right. And if the investors want pure-play REITs then that's the direction we have to go in order to increase unitholder value".

Artis 3Q20 conference call disclosed some new information about the strategic review undertaken over the past year.

I still think the retail spin-off a great idea. It moves us forward to just being an office-industrial REIT which we can then spin off again or we privatize. Either way, it gets us to a better price multiple as an industrial without the retail. in the retail we get - whatever price we get, it's more than worth what we're getting now."

A year ago before this pandemic came upon us, we shifted the paradigm. And while we were doing it, we thought we can sell all down all retail in a three-year period. We don't think that anymore because we don't want to give it away, right? But we can continue to sell some retail and improve our balance sheet and improve our portfolio, streamline our portfolio. And then we'll sell some more office as well and we'll grow industrial."

some ongoing dialogue [with potential acquirers contacted during the Strategic Review] - is taking place and interest continues. But there's nothing much more we can say on that front."

Artis mentioned that the Retail Spinoff had been unanimously approved by the Board which implies consent from the two Trustees that Sandpiper wants to retain.

Sandpiper Proxy Campaign And Artis Response

On 10/1/20, Sandpiper Group issued a press release announcing that it had requisitioned a Special Meeting of unitholders to replace 5 of the 7 current Trustees. In addition to Sandpiper CEO Samir Manji, the other 4 nominees appear highly qualified. Sandpiper stated that it wanted the Retail assets sold at fair value to a strategic acquirer rather than distributed in a spinoff that would be undervalued in the market.

Sandpiper released a presentation highlighting what it claimed were conflicts on interest between Artis and businesses controlled by family members of CEO Armin Martens.

Key Points:

  • Related Party Transactions - Artis stated in 2017 that the Martens controlled Marwest companies would no longer be considered related parties requiring disclosure of transactions with Artis. Sandpiper identified numerous subsequent transactions where Artis contracted with Marwest entities for services including property management, project management, leasing, and development.
  • Poor Capital Allocation - Artis incurred cumulative fair value losses of $754mm, primarily from Calgary Office assets.
  • Entrenched Board with No Alignment - Four of the Trustees have served the REIT since its inception 16 years ago. In October, Artis suddenly announced discovery of "new information" resulting in a determination that one of these long-term Trustees was not actually independent and he immediately resigned.

Sandpiper subsequently announced that its nominees had the support of Artis' largest unitholder with a 13.1% stake, then announced pledges of support from 35% of the outstanding units (enough to reject approval of the proposed Retail spinoff).

Artis responded with a press release to "Set The Record Straight" which made these points that confirmed many of Sandpiper's allegations, but tried to diminish their importance:

  • "Robust" NAV growth of 2% per year since 2011
  • Successful sale of Western Canada assets (that were previously purchased at higher prices)
  • Only $35mm has been paid to Marwest companies for services at competitive rates
  • Artis has been executing value-enhancing strategic initiatives including asset sales and share repurchase

Artis published a presentation on 11/5 with useful new information:

  • Artis has invested $214mm in Industrial development projects since 2014 and achieved an IRR of 29.8%
  • During the Strategic Review, the "Special Committee concluded that a sale of the REIT would maximize unitholder value"

Preferred Holder Firm Capital Opposes Retail Spinoff

The Retail spin would require approval from 2/3 of both common and preferred unitholders, each voting as a class. On 10/1/20, preferred holder Firm Capital Private Equity (FC) issued a press release explaining its opposition to the spinoff because it would reduce the equity cushion below the preferred units making them more risky. FC argued that the structure of the Retail spinoff should entitle preferred holders to redemption at par value ($25 for each of the outstanding Series A, E, and I units). On 11/2/20, FC issued a press release signalling its support for Sandpiper and published a website with copies of its correspondence with Artis and its advisors.

3Q20 Operating Results

Artis 3Q20 results (press release, MD&A, conference call transcript, presentation) demonstrated that property-level performance is stabilizing after the COVID impact. Highlights:

  • FFO $0.37/unit vs $0.36 in 2Q20 and $0.34 in 3Q19. The company also provided guidance for 2021 FFO of $1.35
  • AFFO $0.27/unit vs $0.25 in 2Q20 and $0.25 in 3Q19. The company also provided guidance for 2021 AFFO of $1.00
  • NAV declined slightly in 3Q20 to $15.35/unit due to the impact of translating the value of US$ assets into appreciating C$.
  • Occupancy declined slightly to 90% compared to 90.6% in 2Q20.
  • Rent collection of 97.6% of amounts due in 3Q20. As of 10/31 97.4% of October, rents had been collected.

The MD&A includes some enhanced disclosures that could be helpful to analysts and investors in valuing each of Artis segments, however, the primary driver of the unit price will be the high level discount resulting from the diversified business model. The disclosures provide more confidence that performance is stable enough for value to be realized through strategic actions that reduce or eliminate the discount.

Break-Up

Artis spent $4.6mm in 2019-20 on what appears to have been a robust strategic review. If management and trustees want to avoid being replaced by Sandpiper nominees who might repeat much of the same work, then they should share the conclusions of that review and how the company will use them to deliver value to unitholders in coming years. CEO Armin Martens is not the best spokesperson for this communication due to:

  • Marwest conflicts - his family business relationships with Artis could create conflicts between his personal financial interest and that of public unitholders
  • Transaction conflicts - he was rumored to be connected to a bid for some or all of the company's assets
  • Lack of Conviction - Martens has been ambivalent about the strategic initiatives he is responsible for implementing. In this BNN interview, he admits that he prefers the company's existing diversified business model even as he explains that the company will spin off its Retail business in the near-term and follow with a spin of the Industrial business if the market valuation has not improved.

If management and Board want to avoid being replaced, then it would be helpful if they could comment on these topics:

  • The Strategic Review ended in May when there were few real estate transactions of any kind due to COVID lockdown. Can negotiations with interested parties resume now that Artis' business is close to normal?
  • Were there issues that made it difficult to execute a transaction? Tax? Lack of a natural buyer for the entire diversified business? Is Artis doing anything to address those issues and make the company more attractive to strategic buyers?
  • When Artis announced its Retail spinoff, it also disclosed that it would reorganize its legal structure to facilitate a possible future spinoff or sale of its Industrial properties. Management hinted that an Industrial spin could come in about a year, but made no clear statement and then didn't mention it in the 3Q20 conference call. Is there a plan?

The actions that Artis has taken over the past 18 months have been positive, but CEO Armin Martens has always come across as a reluctant convert responding to pressure from Sandpiper (page 15 from Sandpiper presentation). If Sandpiper were represented directly on the Board, then unitholders could be more confident that inertia, lack of expertise, and conflicts of interest would not impede value realization.

I believe the most likely outcome is a negotiated settlement prior to the Special Meeting with most of Sandpiper's nominees added to the Board and most of Sandpiper's agenda implemented. This would follow precedents:

  • Agellan Commercial (10% Sandpiper stake disclosed 9/19/17)- Sandpiper protested a $15mm payout to the REIT's external manager, received support from 35% of outstanding shares in calling a special shareholder meeting to replace certain directors, and reached a settlement agreement which included appointment of three new directors. The REIT was subsequently acquired at a 15% premium to its IFRS Net Asset Value and at a substantial increase over the price at which Sandpiper became involved. Like Artis, Agellan was a Canadian REIT with Industrial (50% of NOI) and Office (50% of NOI) properties in the US (75% of NOI) and Canada (25% of NOI). Due to its diversified business model, the price of its units in the Canadian market did not fairly reflect the value of its assets, particularly the US industrial properties. Sale of the company provided the best outcome for shareholders.
ACR Chart

Investment Considerations

Artis' Special Committee concluded that a sale would deliver the highest value to unitholders and I believe that a price around IFRS NAV ($15.35) would be reasonable. Potential softness in valuation of Retail and Office assets is likely to be balanced by a premium for the development potential of Industrial assets. As long as Artis remains a diversified public REIT fair value in an economic recovery is likely to be a 20% discount to NAV (80% of $15.35 = $12.28).

Firm Capital's efforts highlight the rights of preferred holders that might be triggered by potential corporate actions. Redemption at $25 par value would deliver significant gains to Series A/E holders, however, in the absence of a deal, they have downside price risk when coupons will probably reset lower in 2022/23.

Investors punished Artis in 2018 for reducing its dividend rate, but dividends simply transfer value rather than creating value. Any change in the dividend does not affect the underlying value of the company and its assets so this article does not offer any detailed commentary about past present or future dividends. The distribution (currently C$0.54/year) gradually returns a portion of the full NAV which we can now acquire in the market at a discount. The distribution is amply covered by AFFO and strong rent collection so it is very unlikely to be cut. Artis's 3Q20 earnings announcement promised a 3% distribution increase and Sandpiper promises that its nominees will support a 10% increase.

4種類のダイバリエーションがある「GeForce GTX 1650」の違いを検証 - PC Watch

Posted: 11 Nov 2020 05:13 PM PST

desimpul.blogspot.com

 しばらく前のことになるが、同じ「GeForce GTX 1650」カードを謳いつつも、コードネームの異なるGPU、具体的にはTU106、TU116を搭載するビデオカードが流通した。

 本来のGeForce GTX 1650はTU117だ。そして搭載するメモリによってGDDR5版、GDDR6版があった。加えて、TU106は本来GeForce RTX 2060/2070グレード、TU116は本来GeForce GTX 1650 SUPERや1660グレードである。4つの仕様の違いが価格に反映されるのはあるとして、性能的にはどうなのだろうか。調査してみた。

4種のGeForce GTX 1650。どこが違う!?

 まずは製品の説明となるが、"TU106を搭載するGeForce GTX 1650カード"というのは玄人志向の「GF-GTX1650D6-E4GB/DF2」、"TU116を搭載するGeForce GTX 1650カード"というのはGIGABYTE「GeForce GTX 1650 D6 OC 4G (rev. 2.0)」だ。

TU106を搭載する玄人志向「GF-GTX1650D6-E4GB/DF2」
TU116を搭載するGIGABYTE「GeForce GTX 1650 D6 OC 4G (rev. 2.0)」

 対して、一般的なTU117版GeForce GTX 1650として、ZOTACの2製品、「ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1650 OC GDDR6」、「ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1650 OC」がある。つまりTU117のスタンダードなGeForce GTX 1650にも2つのバージョンがあるわけで、それぞれGDDR6版とGDDR5版だ。

 GDDR6は、GDDR5の後継としてより高クロックの動作を可能としているが、ゲーミングエントリーのビデオカードではまだ採用製品が少ない。とはいえ現在、コスト面で1つ古いGDDR5にメリットがあるかと言えば微妙だ。ZOTACの2製品に関して言えば外観的に同じで価格帯もほぼ同じである。

TU117を搭載するGDDR5版であるZOTAC「ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1650 OC」

 それでは各GPUをGPU-Zにかけ仕様を確認してみよう。

各GPU-Zの結果

玄人志向「GF-GTX1650D6-E4GB/DF2」
GIGABYTE「GeForce GTX 1650 D6 OC 4G (rev. 2.0)」
ZOTAC「ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1650 OC GDDR6」
ZOTAC「ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1650 OC」

 まず、コアコードネームは異なるが、共通のスペックとしてCUDAコア数は896基、そしてメモリバス幅は128bitだ。メモリ容量が4GBである点も挙げられるだろう。また、GDDR6メモリを搭載する3モデルでは、GPUクロックが1,410MHzと揃っている。

 ブーストクロックは製品によってさまざまだが、そもそもTU116/106のGeForce GTX 1650のリファレンスがないから、これがリファレンス仕様のブーストクロックなのかOS仕様のブーストクロックなのかは判別つかない。おそらくは各社の自由裁量といったところだろう。一方、TU117のGDDR5版のみ、定格もブーストクロックも高めに設定されている。これはおそらくメモリ帯域を補うためだろう。

 そしてNVENCは要注意事項といえるかもしれない。TU116/106は最新の第7世代、TU117は1つ古い第6世代だ。2つの世代で異なるのは、H.265 HEVCにおけるBフレームのサポート。第7世代はサポートしているが、第6世代ではサポートされない。

 このほか、先の写真でも指摘したとおり、補助電源という違いもある。TU106、TU116版のGeForce GTX 1650には6ピンのPCI Express補助電源コネクタが搭載されている。一方、TU117版に補助電源コネクタはない。電力に制限のあるPC、省電力を求めるPCにはTU117のほうが向いている。

性能の違いをベンチマークで検証

 それでは、4枚のビデオカードをベンチマークにかけ、性能差があるのかどうかを調査したい。1つ、「OC仕様」という問題があるが、基本的にブーストクロック側のみで、そのブーストクロックも実クロックというわけではなく目安なので、同じブーストクロック表記でもクーラーが異なれば実クロックは異なると考えれば目をつぶってよいだろう。今回はすべて製品定格、ファクトリーオーバークロック状態でテストを行なう。

 また、今回はコアが異なるとはいえすべてGeForce GTX 1650であるため僅差になることが予想される。そこで、まずビルトインベンチマークを利用すること(FRAPSやOCATなどの計測ではブレが大きいため)、各テストでは、安定したスコアを得られるSandraのみ3回としほかは5回取得し平均を算出するといった方法をとることにした。

検証環境

CPU:Core i9-9900K
メモリ:DDR4-2666(8GB×2枚)
マザーボード:ASUSTeK ROG Strix B360-I Gaming(Intel B360)
SSD:Intel Optane SSD 800p(NVMe、118GB)
OS:Windows 10 Pro 64bit版

 3DMarkを見ると、GDDR5版TU117が若干低いスコアだが、GDDR6版TU117とTU116/106の3製品はほぼ横並びの結果が得られた。いちおう、GDDR6搭載版の3製品に絞れば、TU106版がわずかに低いスコアという傾向があるように見える。

グラフ:3DMark

 ゲームベンチマークはTom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands、Far Cry 5、STREET FIGHTER V、Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siegeを計測した。前2つのテストは60fps前後が目安、後ろ2つのテストは100fps超を狙うタイトルだ。

 全体を俯瞰して見ると、まずやはりGDDR5版TU117が1つ低めのフレームレートであることがわかる。GDDR6版TU117、TU116/106にフォーカスすると、どうやらTU116版がもっともフレームレートが高く、わずかだが次点でGDDR6版TU117、そしてTU106はそれらに対して若干だが低いフレームレートである。

グラフ:ゲームベンチマーク

 CUDAの性能を比較するテストとしてGeekbench 5を利用してみた。結果は先のゲームベンチマークと同じ傾向だ。

グラフ:Geekbench 5

 ここまでの結果、まずGDDR5版TU117は明らかにGDDR6搭載版よりも性能で劣るのがわかる。大きな要因はメモリ帯域幅だろう。GPUクロックはむしろほかよりも高いからだ。性能を引き出すためには、GDDR6が必要である。

 次に、TU106はGDDR6版TU117やTU116に対して若干、スコア、フレームレートが低い傾向だ。あらためてスペックを確認したい。CUDAコア数はどれも同じだ。そしてGDDR6搭載版について言えばGPUクロックも横並びである。メモリもバス幅、クロックともGDDR6搭載版は同じだ。一つ仮定できるのがブーストクロック。TU106をOCしたら変わるだろうか。

 TU106を搭載する玄人志向「GF-GTX1650D6-E4GB/DF2」をOCし、定格クロック+30MHz(ブーストクロック:1,635MHz)とし、製品定格のTU106、ブーストクロックが1,635MHzだったTU116と比較したのが次のグラフだ。

グラフ:ゲームベンチマーク(OC)
グラフ:Geekbench 5(OC)

 ゲームベンチマークではTom Clancy's Rainbow Six SiegeのみOC時、スコアが落ちているが、これは計測中にパッチなどが当たった影響ではないかと思われる。上3つのデータのとおり、TU106をOCした場合、わずかにフレームレートが上昇したように見える。ただし、TU116には届いていない。つまり、ブーストクロックを抑えられているのがTU106の不振の原因ではないということだ。

 では何が本当の原因なのだろうか。いろいろと試した結果、ここだろうと目星がついたのがメモリだ。スペック上では同等であるはずのメモリだが、Sandraのグラフィックスメモリーテストを実行してみたところ、TU116やGDDR6版TU117よりも20GB/s程度遅いという結果が出た。バス幅やクロックに違いがないとすれば、内部でなにかしらレイテンシが伸びるような状況になっているのではないかと推測できる。断定はできないが、TU106のメモリバス幅は本来256bitであり、TU106版GTX 1650はその半分に制限したものだ。この仕様変更、本来利用可能なものがDisable化されたことでボトルネックが生じた可能性は否定できないだろう。

グラフ:Sandra グラフィックスメモリ1
グラフ:Sandra グラフィックスメモリ2
グラフ:Sandra グラフィックスメモリ

 続いて消費電力を見ていきたい。消費電力テストでは、3DMarkのストレステスト実行中(15分)の最大値とアイドル時(ベンチマーク終了後15分)の最小値を計測してみた。

グラフ:システム全体の消費電力

 アイドル時に関しては、TU117版が35台、TU106が37.3W、TU116が36.8Wだった。TU117とそのほかでわかれた格好だが、ストレートにダイサイズが小さいほど消費電力も小さいと言えるのかどうかは断言できない。せいぜい1.7W差なので搭載するファンや電源回路の変換効率の違いで生まれた可能性もある。

 高負荷時は明確な差がついた。もっとも電力値が小さかったのはGDDR5版のTU117。次にGDDR6版TU117、そしてTU116、TU106という順だ。TU106はほかよりも頭1つ飛び抜けて高い。電力値が最小だったGDDR5版TU117とTU106版では25W超の差がある。いちおうTU106は今回唯一、デュアルファンのモデルなので、その分だけ消費電力が大きかった可能性もある。ただしそこを加味してもワットパフォーマンスでは、GDDR6版TU117やTU116がベターと言えるのではないだろうか。

 参考までに、PCMark 10のDigital Content Creationのスコアも示しておこう。確かにGPUごとの差はついているが、ここまでベンチマークほどストレートではなく、TU106やGDDR5版TU117が健闘しているテストもある。それでも安定して高スコアなのはTU116およびGDDR6版TU117だろうか。

グラフ:PCMark 10 − Digital Content Creation

NVENCの違いをチェック。HEVCのBフレーム対応は必要!?

 NVENCに関する違いも確認しておこう。まず、各GPUのNVENCに性能的違いがあるのか、Sandraのビデオトランスコーディングテストで調査した。VC1からH.264へ、H.264からH.264へという2つのテストがあるが、どちらも、どのGPUでも誤差の範囲と言える数値である。NVENCのエンコーディング性能では違いがないと言える。

グラフ:Sandra トランスコード

一方、TU116/106は第7世代NVENEC、TU117は第6世代NVENECである。ここで異なるのがH.265 HEVCのBフレームをサポートしているかどうかだ。サポートしているのは第7世代NVENCで、第6世代NVENCではサポートされていない。これはNVIDIAのNVENCの比較表で確認できる。

 とはいえ実際、使える使えないを確認してみたい。今回はAvidemuxを使い、各GPUでどのような挙動になるのかを調べてみた。

 Avidemuxを起動し映像を読み込ませ、左ペインのVideo Output欄プルダウンから「Nbidia HEVC」を選ぶ。これがH.265 HEVCの指定だ。続いてその下の「構成」をクリックすることでオプションを指定できる。最下段にある「Maximum Consecutive B-Frames」がBフレームの指定箇所になる。ここに適当な数値を入れ、ファイルを出力させてみた。

 TU116/106に関しては問題なくエンコード処理が進行する。一方、TU117では直後にエラーメッセージが表示された。「Cannot set up encoder. The configuration supplied to the encoder may be incompatible or the encorder may depend on futures unavailable on this system.」といった内容だ。H.265 HEVCのBフレームをサポートしていないためにエンコーダーのセットアップでエラーが出ているというわけだ。

AvidemuxでNVENCのH.265 HEVC出力およびBフレームの指定を行なう設定
TU106/116では上記設定で問題なくエンコードが開始する
TU117の2枚はエラーメッセージが表示されエンコードできない

 つまり、H.265 HEVCのBフレームを扱わなければどのGPUも同じ程度の性能だ。一方、これを利用したいという方なら、TU106/116版GeForce GTX 1650カードがもっとも低コストなソリューションと言える。

価格、性能、NVENC、電力の違いを知って賢く選ぼう

 今回の調査を踏まえ、4製品の特徴をまとめておこう。

TU106版GeForce GTX 1650 玄人志向「GF-GTX1650D6-E4GB/DF2」

・安価
・NVENCが第7世代

TU116版GeForce GTX 1650 GIGABYTE「GeForce GTX 1650 D6 OC 4G (rev. 2.0)」

・性能ではトップ
・NVENCが第7世代

TU117のGDDR6版GeForce GTX 1650 ZOTAC「ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1650 OC GDDR6」

・性能は僅差で2番手
・補助電源が不要

TU117のGDDR5版GeForce GTX 1650 ZOTAC「ZOTAC GAMING GeForce GTX 1650 OC」

・補助電源が不要
・もっとも省電力

 同じGeForce GTX 1650でありながら、4つの製品はそれぞれ特徴のある製品だった。価格、性能、NVENC、電力のすべてを満たすことはないが、1製品あたり2つ程度満たしてくれる。このように同じGPU名で異なるコードネームが混在するというのは稀にあるものの多くはない。今は3種、メモリを含めれば4種から選べるというなかなか楽しい状況にある。GeForce GTX 1650を求める方は、自分のPCにとって何が必要なのか、よく検討してみると自作PCがより楽しめるだろう。

新型MacBook AirとPro、「アップル独自“M1"チップ」7つの事実…価格だけじゃない“違い“を探る(BUSINESS INSIDER JAPAN) - Yahoo!ニュース - Yahoo!ニュース

Posted: 11 Nov 2020 05:13 PM PST

desimpul.blogspot.com

1. チップ自体の性能差はほぼなし、しかし高負荷処理でAirとProの差が出る理由

一般的にPCでは、製品のランクによって使うCPUの種類が異なる。クロック周波数が違うのはもちろんだが、仕様に含まれる細かな機能や、グラフィック機能の要であるGPUが異なることも多い。 そのため、これまでPCを選ぶ際には「CPUの型番が何なのか」を確認することが重要だった。 だがどうやら、アップルのMac向け独自半導体「M1」では、採用する3つのMacでは、全く同じ「M1」が使われているようだ。 これは、4機種ある「iPhone 12」シリーズで、結果的にほぼ同じ「A14 Bionic」が使われていたことに近い。 同じ半導体を量産して複数のモデルを作ってコスト効率を高めるのは、アップルの基本戦略だが、PCとしては「異例」ではある。 では、3つの製品に性能的な差は出ないのか? おそらく、シンプルな処理ならほとんど差はない、というのが取材から見えてきた状況だ。 ただし、「複数のCPU・GPUコアを使い」「高い負荷をかけ続ける」アプリでは、違いが出る可能性が高い。 MacBook Airは冷却ファンを持たない「ファンレス」設計だが、他の2機種はファン付き。ファン付きの2モデルは、Airより負荷の高い、ゲームや動画編集などのニーズが高いと判断されてのものではないだろうか。

2. Macの「M1」とiPhoneの「A14」は流用ではなかった。Macに特化した設計思想

アップルは、iPhoneやiPadで10年に渡ってオリジナルプロセッサー「Aシリーズ」を使ってきた。現在最新のものは、iPhone 12シリーズとiPad Air(第8世代)に使われている「A14 Bionic」だ。 アップルは自社製半導体を複数の製品で使う。そのため、AppleシリコンMacも「A14のバリエーションが使われるのでは」と予想されていた。 だが、どうやらM1は「完全にMacのために作られたプロセッサー」になるようだ。 CPUコアやGPUコアは、A14で使われている技術をベースにする。だが、次のような点が異なっている。 CPUコアの動作クロックはA14より高くなる あわせてGPUの性能も向上 スマホ・タブレット向けでは不要だった「仮想化技術」にも対応 Thunderbolt 3/USB 4のインターフェースもM1に内蔵 つまり、本体内のチップ搭載点数をできるだけ減らし、「Macを作るために必要なもの」をM1に集積した構造になっている。

The Latest: Biden: I won’t take legal action over transition - KSAT San Antonio

Posted: 11 Nov 2020 05:08 PM PST

WASHINGTON – The Latest on President-elect Joe Biden (all times local):

5:45 p.m.

The Lincoln Project has announced plans to launch an advertising campaign against two law firms over their role representing President Donald Trump and the Republican Party in their voter fraud-related lawsuits.

On Twitter on Tuesday, the anti-Trump political action committee run by former Republican insiders also urged people to find employees of Jones Day and Porter Wright Morris & Arthur through their social media accounts and "ask them how they can work for an organization trying to overturn the will of the American people."

The group suggested it would also pressure clients to drop the firms. By the end of the day, Porter Wright had deleted its Twitter account, which was being inundated with attacks. A message seeking comment was left with Porter Wright.

Jones Day responded that it is not representing the president, his campaign "or any affiliated party in any litigation alleging voter fraud," but the Pennsylvania GOP, in litigation brought by private parties and the state's Democratic Party. That litigation resulted in the order that extended the deadline for returning mail-in ballots that was set by Pennsylvania state lawmakers.

There is no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN'S TRANSITION TO THE WHITE HOUSE:

President-elect Joe Biden is championing the Obama administration's signature health law as it goes before the Supreme Court in a case that could overturn it.

HERE'S WHAT ELSE YOU NEED TO KNOW:

5:25 p.m.

The Biden campaign's lawyer is dismissing President Donald Trump's legal challenges to Joe Biden's victory as "theatrics" that are intended "to instill in the minds of some portion of the populace that the election was illegitimate."

Bob Bauer said Tuesday on a call with reporters that the Trump campaign is trying to "throw obstacles in the path of the government." But he said the transition was continuing regardless of any issues playing out in the courts.

"In the meantime," he says, "there'll be theater, but it'll be playing to increasingly light crowds, until it empties out completely and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris take their oath of office."

Biden was declared the winner of the election on Saturday, but Trump is refusing to concede.

Biden's chief counsel, Dana Remus, said the presidential transition process would not be derailed by the General Services Administration's refusal to name Biden the official winner.

Remus says Trump and his allies "are trying everything to interfere with the inevitable." But she says, "We are pushing forward, and we are confident that the inevitable is a very successful administration."

4 p.m.

The national intelligence director's office says it can't begin engaging with President-elect Joe Biden's team until a federal agency starts the process of transition, which the Trump administration is delaying.

The office, which oversees all U.S. intelligence agencies, said it must follow the Presidential Transition Act, which requires the General Services Administration to first ascertain the winner of the election Trump is contesting.

Intelligence agencies have given general intelligence briefings -- minus information on covert operations and sources and methods -- to presidential nominees since 1952. Biden started receiving them soon after he became the Democratic presidential nominee. It's unclear if he is still getting them.

Some presidents have allowed their successors to receive the President's Daily Brief, containing the nation's most sensitive intelligence information. President Donald Trump would have to authorize Biden to receive that brief.

A Biden transition spokesperson declined to comment on the briefings.

___

3:25 p.m.

President-elect Joe Biden has released the names of his agency review teams, the groups of transition staffers that are typically afforded access to key agencies in the current administration to help smooth the transfer of power.

The president's transition team released the names of hundreds of people on the teams. They'll collect and review information ranging from budgetary and staffing decisions, pending regulations and other work in progress from current staff at the federal departments.

It remains unclear, however, how much engagement the Biden transition staffers will have with their counterparts at the various government agencies because President Donald Trump's administration has yet to formally recognize Biden as the president-elect. A formal recognition from the General Services Administration is needed to allow Biden transition staff access to federal workers and much of the information they'll need.

More than half of the staff on the teams are women, and approximately 40% "represent communities historically underrepresented in the federal government, including people of color, people who identify as LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities."

___

3:10 p.m.

President Donald Trump has created a new leadership PAC as he continues to refuse to concede the election to to President-elect Joe Biden.

Paperwork for the Save America political action committee was filed with the Federal Election Commission on Monday evening.

Campaign emails soliciting money for the president's "OFFICIAL ELECTION DEFENSE FUND!" now direct to a website that shows contributions will now be split among Save America, the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee.

And 60% of each contribution will go to Save America, up to $5,000.

The committee will allow Trump to maintain his political influence even after he leaves office by raising and distributing money for candidates, along with funding travel, polling and other campaign costs.

Trump has not ruled out running again in 2024 after losing his reelection bid.

___

3:05 p.m.

President-elect Joe Biden says President Donald Trump's failure to recognize his victory is an "embarrassment."

It marked the sharpest critique yet from the incoming president at the incumbent, as Trump's team has refused to formally begin preparations for the transition.

Taking questions from reporters Tuesday for the first time since his victory, Biden predicted that "it will not help the president's legacy."

Biden says regardless of the Trump administration's actions, his planning to assume power on Jan. 20 is continuing as scheduled.

___

3:03 p.m.

President-elect Joe Biden says he hopes Democrats pick up two Senate seats in January's runoff elections but doesn't fear getting his Cabinet picks through the chamber if it stays in Republican hands.

Biden said in Wilmington, Delaware, on Tuesday that he is "not a pessimist" and takes Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell "at his word" in saying that he would work with him on getting nominees in position.

Biden said he hoped the two Democrats competing in January Senate runoffs in Georgia would be able to shift the chamber back toward Democratic control. If the Senate were to be evenly divided, it would be up to Vice President-elect Kamala Harris to break a tie.

Biden also said he hopes to be able to announce some of his Cabinet picks before Thanksgiving.

___

3 p.m.

Joe Biden says his transition team will not be taking legal action to try to force the Trump administration to officially acknowledge him as the president-elect.

Biden told reporters Tuesday that "I don't see a need for legal action, quite frankly."

Much of the formal transition work doesn't begin until the administrator of the General Services Administration ascertains the "apparent successful candidate" in the election, and that has not happened yet amid legal challenges by President Donald Trump to election results in some states.

The GSA's failure to designate Biden the official winner bars the Democrat and his team from receiving federal funds for his transition and from getting access to the agencies they'll need to work with to smooth the transition of power.

He also is not receiving a daily classified briefing on security threats typically afforded to the president-elect.

Biden said that the briefing "would be useful, but it's not necessary," and that his transition team didn't need the federal funds to continue their work. He says, "We don't see anything slowing us down."

___

2:50 p.m.

President-elect Joe Biden says "nothing going to stop" his administration's moving forward despite President Donald Trump's refusal to concede the race.

Biden said in Wilmington, Delaware, on Tuesday that his transition is "well underway" and that he is reviewing potential Cabinet picks and other positions.

Biden said some Republicans' denial of his victory "is not at much consequence in our plan and what we're able to do between now and Jan. 20."

Asked by a reporter what he would say to Trump, Biden said, "Mr. President, looking forward to speaking with you."

___

2:47 p.m.

President-elect Joe Biden says the Republican-backed challenge to the Affordable Care Act in the Supreme Court is "cruel and needlessly divisive." But he's promising that, regardless of the outcome of that lawsuit, he will enact reforms to expand coverage when he's in office in January.

During remarks Tuesday in Wilmington, Delaware, Biden warned that if the lawsuit is successful, millions of Americans would lose health care coverage during the coronavirus pandemic. He characterized the lawsuit as an "effort to bypass the will of the American people, the verdict of the courts in the past, the judgments of Congress," noting that the ACA had weathered previous court challenges and legislative efforts to dismantle it.

But Biden has also acknowledged issues with the ACA, which was the Obama administration's signature legislative achievement, and pledged to fix it. On Tuesday, Biden said his transition team was working to "flesh out the details" on a plan to get Americans universal health care and lower health care costs "as soon as humanly possible."

___

2:45 p.m.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris says that each vote for President-elect Joe Biden was in support of the Affordable Care Act he helped craft during the Obama administration.

During remarks Tuesday in Wilmington, Delaware, Harris said that Biden "won the election decisively," and that "every vote for Joe Biden was a statement that health care in America should be a right, not a privilege."

Harris also noted that, if the Affordable Care Act is dismantled, "communities of color would be hit particularly hard ... because they are at a greater risk for preexisting conditions," as well as complications from the coronavirus.

Harris spoke ahead of remarks from Biden and following oral arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court. Earlier Tuesday, justices heard oral arguments from opponents of the health care program, arguing the 10-year-old statute was rendered unconstitutional in its entirety when Congress dialed down to zero a penalty on those remaining uninsured.

___

2:15 p.m.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is brushing aside results of last week's presidential election showing that President Donald Trump lost his bid for a second term.

Pompeo told reporters Tuesday with a grin that the "transition" to a second Trump term would be "smooth," but later said the State Department was prepared for any eventuality. Trump has refused to concede to President-elect Joe Biden.

Pompeo ignored results showing that Biden had won the election, and he also dismissed as "ridiculous" questions about whether the U.S. had lost credibility as a judge of other countries' election because of Trump's unproven claims of fraud at the polls.

"There will be a smooth transition to second Trump administration, " Pompeo said with a chuckle, before reverting to a more nuanced response. "We're ready. The world is watching what's taking place here. We're going to count all the votes."

He said the "world should have every confidence" that the State Department is "successful today" and that it will be "successful with the president who's in office on Jan. 20 a minute after noon."

___

12:55 p.m.

President-elect Joe Biden has spoken to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, leaders of three of the United States' most important European allies.

Johnson's support for Brexit and warm relationship with President Donald Trump have made many Democrats wary, but he was nonetheless among the first European leaders to congratulate Biden in a phone call.

Johnson's office said the two men "discussed the close and longstanding relationship" between the two countries and promised to strengthen those bonds in areas including trade and security. In the 25-minute call, they also promised to work on "shared priorities, from tackling climate change, to promoting democracy, and building back better from the coronavirus pandemic," Downing St. said.

"Build back better" is a slogan that Biden and the British government have in common.

Johnson invited Biden to attend the COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow next November and said he looked forward to seeing him at a G-7 summit that the U.K. is due to host in 2021.

The French president's office released a video of Macron in his office, offering congratulations to Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris during a call on Tuesday afternoon.

___

11:50 a.m.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, will leave his job as a partner with a high-profile law firm to focus on his role in the new Biden administration.

A campaign spokeswoman said Tuesday that Emhoff will sever ties with DLA Piper by Inauguration Day. Emhoff took a leave of absence from the firm in August, when Harris was named Joe Biden's running mate. Biden and Harris will be inaugurated Jan. 20.

While Emhoff is not a lobbyist, the firm has lobbied the federal government on behalf of a range of corporate clients. Ethics experts say that connection could have presented an appearance of conflicts of interest as the Biden administration tries to restore trust and ethics in government following President Donald Trump's norm-shattering presidency.

Emhoff is working with the transition team to determine the issues he will take on as the vice presidential spouse. He is the first man to hold that role, as Harris is the nation's first female vice president.

___

11:20 a.m.

U.S. defense officials said James Anderson, the top policy adviser at the Pentagon, submitted his resignation Tuesday, a day after President Donald Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper. Anderson has been the acting undersecretary for policy since June. Previously he served as the deputy undersecretary since his confirmation for that job in August 2018.

Trump's firing of Esper comes as he has refused to concede his election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

Defense officials spoke about Anderson's resignation on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters.

A wide range of policy staff positions in the Pentagon have been filled with people on an acting basis over the past year or more, as a number of staff have left or have not been confirmed.

Chris Miller, who was tapped to serve as the Pentagon chief on Monday after Esper was fired, was in his second day in the building, meeting with top staff.

山下智久が米豪華ドラマ出演濃厚 有名監督メガホン(日刊スポーツ) - Yahoo!ニュース

山下智久が米豪華ドラマ出演濃厚 有名監督メガホン(日刊スポーツ) - Yahoo!ニュース

先月末にジャニーズ事務所を退所していたことが発表された山下智久(35)が、来年配信予定の米国ドラマへの出演が濃厚であることが11日、分かった。 複数の関係者によると、同ドラマはアカデミー賞ノミネート作品に主演経験もある米の人気俳優を主演に据えた作品で、日本のマスコミや裏社会が題材。ハリウッドの有名監督がメガホンをとり、米大手配信サービスの作品として公開される見込みという。当初は今年9月ごろに日本での撮影を終える予定だったが、新型コロナウイルス感染拡大を受け、撮影を中断していたという。今月後半から撮影再開予定との情報もある。山下は同作品に重要役で出演する方向で最終調整中という。 山下は以前から海外志向が強く、英語を独学で身に着けていた。動画サービスHuluで今年6月から配信している世界配信の全編英語ドラマ「THE HEAD」に出演するなど、実績を積んでいた。ウィル・スミス(58)はじめ海外の俳優やタレントとも親交があり、海外芸能関係者は「成功する可能性は十分にある」と話す。 関係者によると、山下は先月27日に別の海外作品のオファーを受け、その後ジャニーズ事務所に退所の希望を伝えたという。急転直下で退所が決まり、先月末をもって退所、現在は海外に滞在し撮影に臨んでいるという。 退所を発表した今月10日、山下はファンクラブサイトで「子供の頃からの夢に向かい、新たな一歩を踏み出していきたいと思います」と伝えていた。その上で「ジャニー(喜多川)さんの言う本物に、少しでも近づけるよう、僕なりにこの先も精いっぱい努力し、前に進み続けていきたいと思います」と誓っていた。今回の米国ドラマ出演は、海外で結果を残して「本物」になるための、さらなるステップとなりそうだ。

原作は、累計発行部数170万部を突破し、2012年度「このマンガがすごい!オンナ編」にランクイン、2015年には第39回講談社漫画賞・少女部門にもノミネートされた金田一蓮十郎の人気コミック『ライアー×ライアー』(講談社「KCデザート」刊)。「私×義理の弟×JK姿の私」という不思議な三角関係にヒヤヒヤしながらも、爆笑&胸キュンしてしまう新感覚のラブストーリーを映画化。

そして、今回第3弾キャストとして七五三掛のほか、相田翔子、板橋駿谷、竹井亮介が出演することが発表された。

七五三掛龍也、"同期"松村北斗の親友役で出演

七五三掛が演じるのは、高槻透の友人・桂孝昭。口数の少ない透にとって、高校時代から気さくに話せる唯一の親友だ。

七五三掛が所属するTravis Japanは、マイケル・ジャクソンなど有名アーティストを担当した世界的振付師トラビス・ペインによって選抜されたジャニーズJr.の人気グループで、今年8月に初のソロコンサートを成功させ、注目度急上昇中。七五三掛にとって、『劇場版 BAD BOYS J -最後に守るもの-』(13)以来、今作が2作品目の映画出演。友人の透を演じる松村とはジャニーズ事務所の入所が同期のため、今回の共演でどのような掛け合いを見せてくれるのか注目だ。

そして、NHK連続テレビ小説『なつぞら』で番長・門倉努役を好演し話題になり、俳優・ラッパーと幅広く活躍する板橋が今作にも出演。歴史への情熱が凄まじい、湊の所属するサークル「歴史文化研究会」の部長・川西純太を演じる。今作でみせる、"番長・門倉"を凌ぐ、その強烈なインパクトに目が離せない。(modelpress編集部)

七五三掛龍也コメント

映画出演の話を頂いてすぐ原作漫画を読みました。どのキャラクターにも個性、魅力があり何回も読み直すくらいファンになってしまいました。桂は、友達思いで穏やかな、嘘も言えないくらい良い人と言う印象でした。透の親友でもあり湊とも仲良しな役柄だったので撮影以外でも出来るだけコミュニケーションをとるようにしてその関係性をそのままお芝居に持っていけるよう意識して頑張りました。透役の北斗とは同じ事務所の同期なのでその点コミュニケーションをとりやすく何度か助けられました!原作でもみんなから愛されるようなキャラクターですが、映画を通して更に愛されるようなキャラクターになっていければと思っています。

プレイステーション5、知ってると得する「AV関連機能」15の秘密 - AV Watch

Posted: 11 Nov 2020 04:13 PM PST

desimpul.blogspot.com
11月12日発売の「PlayStation 5」

PlayStation 5関連、発売直前最後の記事は、「AV関連機能」だ。

既に実機レポートはお送りしているが、発売前で全てのサービスが提供されていなかった関係もあって、PlayStation Network(PSN)に絡むストア機能や、有料サービス「PlayStation Plus」の機能、そして、オーディオビジュアル系の機能をまとめた「メディア」については、映像などの公開が認められていなかった。

しかし、発売を迎えた今、こうした部分も公開が可能になった。

そこでここでは、まだあまり紹介されていないPS5のAV関連機能を中心に、15個の秘密を明かしていこうと思う。

秘密その2:「Apple TV」が登場

PS5からの新要素として、アップルの映像配信を利用するアプリが登場した。アップル経由で購入・レンタルした映像作品の視聴が可能なほか、サブスクリプション・サービスである「Apple TV+」も利用できる。

Apple TVアプリが登場。今年からテレビ各社へのアプリ供給が始まったが、それと同じ流れで、PS5でも、iTunes Storeで借りた映画などが見られるようになった
iPhoneなどからアカウントを連携することでセットアップする

秘密その3:メディアリモコンで操作すると……

PS5の周辺機器として「メディアリモコン」が用意されている。この種のリモコンはPS2の時代からあったものなのだが、ディスク再生などのときに「ちょっと使う」くらいのものだった。実のところ、純正のコントローラーよりも優れたところがそれほど多いわけではなかった。

PS5と同時発売の「メディアリモコン」。実は今回、ちょっとしたUI上の秘密が……

だが、PS5のメディアリモコンにはちょっとした秘密がある。

実は、メディアリモコンで操作すると、PS5側は自動的に「メディア」を表示するのだ。逆にコントローラーであるDualSenseを操作すると「ゲーム」側を表示する。

要は、コントロールする機器がどちらであるかによって「操作したい内容のコンテキスト」を判断し、ゲームとメディアを使い分けるようになっているのである。

同様に、映像ディスクを本体に挿入した場合にも、「操作したいのはメディア側である」と判断し、「メディア」に切り替わる。

秘密その4:「テレビ&ビデオ」でおすすめコンテンツが見れる

「テレビ&ビデオ」という項目があるのだが、ここから各サービスが提供する「あなたへのおすすめ」コンテンツの一覧を見られる。もちろんここでコンテンツを選ぶと、(契約済みなど)視聴権利がある場合、そのコンテンツへと直接ジャンプする。

「テレビ&ビデオ」は各種サービスのハブ的な役割をしており、おすすめコンテンツのリストからサービスへと直接ジャンプできる。

秘密その5:動画再生中も「コントロールセンター」は動き続けている

動画再生中などに「PSボタン」を押すとコントロールセンターが表示される。ゲームへ切り替えたい場合や、新着メッセージを見たい時などに便利。

しかもここでも、映像は「流れっぱなし」なので、ちょっとした「ながら」作業的にメッセージのチェックなどができる。ただし、それができるメディアアプリ(Apple TVなど)と、できないアプリ(Netflixなど)の両方がある。

動画再生中でもメディアセンターは表示可能

秘密その6:「メディアアプリ」は別扱い

コントロールセンターには最近使ったゲームなどをすぐに切り替える「アプリ切り替え」という機能がある。ここには今アクティブなアプリ、最近プレイしたゲームのほか、「最近使ったメディアアプリ」も、2つまで表示される。なので、使うサービスが決まっている人は、コントロールセンターからサクサク呼び出せるわけだ。

今使っているゲームやアプリが「アクティブ」扱い。それ以外に、ゲームとアプリが2つずつリストに出てくる

秘密その7:VR関連アプリも「メディア」に出てくる

PlayStation VRは「PS4互換機能を介してのサポート」なのだが、VRでの映像配信などのサービス・アプリについては、メディア側に「VRと体験アプリ」というコーナーが用意され、そこにまとめられている。

VRの映像系体験アプリも、映像配信アプリなどど同じ括りで紹介される。

秘密その8:音楽再生は「Spotify」で

音楽は基本的に、Spotify経由で聴く。そのためにはSpotifyアプリのダウンロードが必要。もちろんフリープランでも使える。

Spotifyアプリ

プレミアムプランの利用者の場合デバイス連携にも対応しており、スマホやタブレット、PCで再生している曲を「PS5から再生」するといったこともできる。

スマホアプリなどと同じ機能を備えているので、「スマホやタブレットからPS5へ再生対象を移す」といった連携もできる。

そもそもSIEは、PS4の後期以降にSpotifyと提携し、SpotifyをPlayStation上で使う音楽サービスと位置付けている。そのため、PS4時代同様、ゲームをしながらSpotifyで音楽が聴ける。

一方、PS4時代にはメニューの呼び出しが結構面倒だったが、コントロールセンター内に「ミュージック」という項目ができ、すぐにアクセスできるので楽に音楽が聴けるようになった。

コントロールセンターから直接Spotifyの曲を少ない操作で再生できる

秘密その9:USBメモリーに入れた音楽が聴ける

一見すると、USBメモリーに保存したMP3ファイルなどの音楽再生はできないように見える。だが、コントロールセンターの「ミュージック」にちゃんと機能が実装されている。

USBメモリーに「MUSIC」というフォルダを作り、ここに音楽ファイルを入れれば、ゲームをしながら「持っている音楽データ」を聴くことは可能だ。

USBメモリーに入れた音楽ファイルは、コントロールセンターから再生

秘密その10:ゲームの「動画キャプチャ」は標準がWebM形式

PS5はゲームプレイ中の動画を記録できるが、その時には、データ容量を削減できる「WebM」形式と、より一般的な形式である「MP4」形式から選択できる。

秘密その11:実は「コントローラーのマイク」がすごい

PS5のコントローラーであるDualSenseにはマイクが内蔵されている。ゲーム中に音声チャットを使うためだ。この音質がいい。ネットを通じたチャットは発売前に行なうことができないため試せていないが、記録したビデオを聴く限り、マイクからの音声の質が非常にいい。

DualSenseは「マイクを搭載する環境」としてはかなり劣悪だ。カチカチと音を立てるボタンが近くにあり、さらにはゲームの音も聞こえる。それらが混ざるようでは音声は聞きにくくなる。

しかし、「声以外」は気にならないように工夫されており、コントローラー内蔵のマイクだけでちゃんと会話ができそうだ。あまりにも自然なので気がつかない(実は最初に録音を聴いたときはそうだった)のだが、冷静に考えるとなかなか凝った工夫だ。

秘密その12:ゲームのビデオに「自分の声」が入ることも……

PS5のゲームビデオ録画には、「パーティー(ボイスチャット)の音声を含める」「マイクの音声を含める」というオプションがある。盛り上がりを記録するのにはいい機能だ。必要なら設定をオンにしてもいい。

一方、PSNには、ゲームの中である課題をクリアするともらえる「トロフィー」という機能がある。PS4同様、PS5ではトロフィー取得時に、自動的にそのタイミングで動画を記録するよう設定しておける。これも、ゲームの「記憶」を残すためのものといえる。

実はここでも「マイクの音声を含める」は有効。なので、トロフィー取得時の動画に、自分が爆笑したり喜んだりしている音も記録される可能性があるわけだ……。自分でシェアしない限り他人に聞かれる訳でもないので、これはこれで面白い要素だと思う。

「マイクの音声を含める」をオンにしてビデオ記録をするかは、慎重に判断を

ただし、「シェアするつもりがあって絶対他人には自分の声を聞かせたくない」なら、「マイクの音声を含める」はオフにしておくように。

秘密その13:音声入力と読み上げ機能はかなり優秀

PS5では文字の音声入力と「読み上げ」(ボイストランスクリプション)に対応している。

チャットなどの入力にはソフトウェアキーボードだけでなく音声入力も使えるが、この精度がかなり高い。ここで効いてくるのがコントローラーのマイク。マイクの品質がいいということは、それだけ精度高く認識できるということでもある。ヘッドセットを装着したり、声を張り上げたりしなくても、自然に入力できる。

音声入力をしてみた。入力のし直し一切なしで、このくらいの文章が入力できる

また、「アクセシビリティ」にある「ボイストランスクリプション」をオンにしておくと、他プレーヤーのチャット音声を文字に変換したり、自分が入力したテキストを他のプレーヤーに読み上げてくれる。

「アクセシビリティ」にある「ボイストランスクリプション」を使うと、メッセージの読み上げなどに対応

秘密その14:PS5のストアはメニューと一体化している

PS5用のゲームを購入するための「PlayStation Store」。従来はストアアプリが存在するような構造になっていたが、PS5ではメニューにそのままストアが統合されている。

PS5のPlayStation Store

これは、ストアへのアクセスを容易することと、ゲームからのストアへの移行をスムーズにすることが目的と思われる。

秘密その15:PlayStation Plusに加入していると「ゲームのヒントビデオ」が見られる

コントロールセンターからは、プレイしているゲームの詳細がカード形式で表示される。そこには、その章の進行度合いや残りの"秘密"などが表示されるのだが、攻略ビデオが表示されることもある。

ただしこれは、有料会員制サービスである「PlayStation Plus」に入っている場合。ビデオは拡大して見ることもできれば、ゲーム中に横に出しておくことも可能。

ゲーム中に「ゲームの動画ヒント」をみられる。ただし有料サービスの「PlayStation Plus」加入者のみ
映像を右や左に出したたまゲームプレイもできる

PlayStation Plus加入者向けには、名作PS4タイトルを追加料金なしで楽しめる「PS PLUSコレクション」も用意されていて、金額的(850円/1カ月プラン)にはかなりお得なサービスになっている。
