YOU have everything within you to heal yourself. You are ALREADY whole.
Take a moment to sit with that, and then read it again.
It may sound like a completely foreign concept to you. It may even sound completely bogus. That's because, in our current reality of high-stressed living, we are given the messages that more is better, faster is not fast enough, look outward for the answers, stress somehow equals strength, depend on others to "fix" our imbalances, and imbalance itself is...well, normal!
This couldn't be further from the truth. The statement at the top of this section is the truth. You DO have everything already within you to heal yourself. Unfortunately, many of us are so far removed from that truth that it doesn't even seem possible. But it is.
*Please call for an appointment for equine massage therapy; do not use the online booking feature. Thank you!
Anna combines her years of experience and techniques as a human bodyworker, her knowledge of the horse, and a lifetime of real working experience with horses. The equine bodywork Anna offers is a combination of various modalities, tailored for each horse as an individual. No horse is the same, and no session is either.
Horses are highly sensitive beings. Some do well with deeper work, and some do not prefer it. Each session may also vary for one individual horse, which is where Anna's awareness and presence during the session is of utmost importance.
Horses speak a different language than many of us are used to, and are incredibly sensitive. The horse's responses to touch may be subtle or obvious. Anna uses this observation of the horse's response in combination with her intuition and "felt sense" to help guide her when performing massage and bodywork on one of her equine clients. This is why flow instead of force is very important. The areas of restriction, pain and discomfort are reached more accurately and the releases are deeper and more profound when she combines her skill of palpation with her intuition knowledge of "equine language".
Anna works with all classes of horses, and all disciplines, including dressage, driving, racing, jumping and gaming.
causing restrictions and imbalances, putting them at greater risk for injury.
Anna's work will increase circulation to the affected areas and help release adhesion, which will in turn aid the body in healing. Releases of soft tissue around joints will help increase synovial fluid production and range of motion of the affected joint. Benefits of high quality massage and bodywork are countless and directly affect both mind and body in a profound and positive way.
Your horse's performance, comfort and overall well-being will improve.
Anna is currently a student of Kathy Pike's yearlong Coaching with Horses apprenticeship program for Equine Facilitated Learning and Coaching (EFLC). With Horse as a teacher and guide, these powerful sessions are created for the client to learn how to increase their own body awareness and intuition, become emotionally agile, and to learn how to tune into the body's innate wisdom and receive the messages being offered.
Horses are highly sensitive, body aware, sentient beings who have so much to offer to us as we raise the consciousness within ourselves and our planet. Just a few of these lessons include how to live in the present, tune into our bodies, understand emotions and listen to the underlying messages that have been trying to reach us.
Anna is currently facilitating practice sessions as an apprentice, which include EFLC sessions held at her home in Windsor, NY as well as private coaching sessions over the phone. Please contact Anna for more information or to schedule one of these empowering sessions!
New York Institute of Massage in Buffalo, NY.
After sitting for the Board exam, Anna started to build her business in the greater Binghamton area. She went on to sit for the National Certification exam and continues to uphold her Board Certification as well as her NYS license through quality continuing education.
Anna continues to involve herself in a vast array of in-depth independent studies ranging from medical massage modalities and anatomy and physiology, to the more spiritual aspect of the work, diving deep into Chakras, energy work and empowering clients to realize that they hold within them everything needed to live a whole and vibrant life.
For the past 14 years, Anna Harold has embarked on a journey that has expanded her knowledge of both human and equine bodywork, and her work has proven to be a valuable asset to both her two-legged and four-legged clients.
Anna specializes in true Deep Tissue massage, Trigger Point Therapy, and Medical massage. She combines multiple massage and bodywork modalities into a very unique, individual and effective experience for her clients.
Anna has had a lifetime of experience working with horses, and made a goal to bring this skill somehow into her career path. In 2010, to begin fulfilling her lifelong passion of a career with horses, Anna received her initial certification in Equine Sports Massage Therapy from Equissage, NE/NY. She then went on to work under Mike Scott in his Equine Massage and Muscle Therapy course in Camden, South Carolina over the course of six months. She currently holds a 300 hour certification as an Equine Massage/Muscle Therapist. Just as with massage therapy for her human clients, Anna uses a unique combination of bodywork and energy work modalities tailored to each equine client for the most optimal session each time.
Anna is currently a student of Kathy Pike's yearlong Coaching with Horses apprenticeship program for Equine Facilitated Learning and Coaching (EFLC). With Horse as a teacher and guide, these powerful sessions are created for the client to learn how to increase their own body awareness and intuition, become emotionally agile, and to learn how to tune into the body's innate wisdom and the messages it has to offer, by learning the way of Horse.

(English) More work, more stress, more pollution, more nicotine, more alcohol, more caffeine, less sleep, more junk food- all this can somewhat be countered by symbiotic nutrition. Freshly prepared cold pressed juices provide concentrated dose of multiple micronutrients and the very valuable source of hydration.
(English) Want to eat healthy, but craving for something delicious? Try this easy-to-make recipe and enjoy the goodness of the ultimate superfood- Quinoa.
(English) You cannot blame the beauty products for rough hair and brittle nails all the time. Sometimes, reasons go deeper than that. What you put inside your body reflects on the outside.
(English) A diet does not have to mean perpetual hunger pangs. Eat smart, and lose weight without having to starve yourself. | {

Rise Up! The Art of Protest by Jo Rippon
Author Jo Rippon has worked in with Amnesty International to develop a book, ostensibly for a teen market, that introduces its readers to the idea of protest and social movements for justice. However, I would like to say that this is very definitely not a book that's limited in its appeal to a target age group – there are plenty of older readers who will find this informative, fascinating and aesthetically pleasing as a book about protest art.
This book comes at an ideal time for me as a university lecturer planning how to introduce my students to the subject of how to move from analysing social injustice to actually doing something about it. This book makes concrete and real the way in which change can happen when people come together to oppose oppression and is unapologetic in pointing out that in the process, protest and confrontation has its part to play. Hash tags and What's App groups are all well and good but there are causes for which it's necessary to leave the virtual world and get down and dirty at street level.
Rippon has chosen to focus on some of the big campaigns run by groups of people who have traditionally been discriminated against and marginalised in society. You won't be surprised to find information about the fight for women's rights, anti-racism, the struggle for equality on the grounds of sexual identity and the fight for climate justice. All of these are necessary and informatively presented.
What sometimes fails to find its way into these lists is the struggle for peace and it's great to see the protests of the Stop The War Coalition and CND being given space alongside its more prominent fellow causes. There's also a really excellent section given over to the rights of young people and their demands to be given a voice that is listened to. Of course young people are present in all the other 'issues' but its great to see their perspective being given proper weight and attention in its own right.
Rippon uses the power of art and image to make the issues of protest come to life. Protest art – the poster, the banner, the placard - can be the most powerful way of getting messages across. Chris Riddell, who provides the introduction to this book and does so from the perspective of a political cartoonist, acknowledges the powerful impact of the simple message:
"The most beautiful protest I ever saw, was a little girl with a handmade placard that read in wobbly letters, 'War Is Naughty'."
But the real beauty of the protest placard or poster is that it's not just the words that do the heavy lifting when it comes to getting the message across because their images and design can be meaningful, not just to the immediate cause but over time. It is often the iconic nature of an image that lives longest in the mind and inspires a sort of fellow-feeling in those who have been touched by it – something that is touched on in my earlier short review of Beauty Is In The Street : A Visual Record of the May '68 Paris Uprising as far back as 2015.
For young people politicised by causes such as Extinction Rebellion or Black Lives Matter, this book will help them dig a bit deeper into their heritage. For those who think that politics is not for them and its all a bit of a yawn, this might open the door just wide enough to let them in.
Let's hope so.

Leprosy appears to be one of the oldest disorders described in the history of medicine. Armauer Hansen in 1874 was the first to demonstrate leprosy bacillus, the "Mycobacterium Leprae". The disease has been classified differently from time to time but at the Pan-American Congress in Rio de Janeiro in 1946 it was modified to Lepromatous and Tuberculoid, both being consistently structural and based upon histological findings. Also an intermediate type was inserted between these strongly contrasting types, called 'Uncharacteristic,' to describe cases without either of the two typical varieties.
It is not often realised that it also has higher percentage of ocular involvements than any other systemic disease (Mendonca de Barros, j. 1946). Predergast in 1940 recorded 91% ocular involvements in leprosy. Harley (1946) reported 90% whereas Elliott above 90% of involvements, depending upon the duration of the disease.
Among the ocular manifestations in leprosy cutaneous nodules on the lids, lagophthalmos secondary to paralysis of orbicularis oculi, superficial and interstitial keratitis, episcleral nodules and uveitis are quite common. Conjunctival nodules, scleritis and lesions in retina are rare. According to Lopez (1890) the uveal tract is affected in half the cases of leprosy. Borthen and Lie (1899) estimate its complication in 37% of tuberculoid variety and in 74% of the Lepromatous, and, indeed ciliary affections are the commonest causes of blindness in this disease.
The present paper represents a complete clinical and histological demonstration of a case of 'Tuberculoid'
Leprosy having multiple bilateral ocular manifestations.
B. S., male, aged 50 years, Sikh, a patient of leprosy since 7 years came to the ophthalmic out-patients department of Gandhi Memorial and Associated Hospitals, Lucknow on 12-8-1961 with the complaint of gradual diminution of vision since one year and painless congestion of the left eye since 13 days. In addition to this he had marked epiphora and lagophthalmos on the same side since 1 month. Congestion and watering also developed on the right side after seven days. Besides this he had deformities of hands and feet with loss of sensations. Two years back, he had a similar attack of congestion in his left eye which persisted for 20 days.
There was no history of leprosy in the family and none of contact with another case.
The palpebral aperture on left side was wider and the left eye appeared more prominent. Patient had isolated paralysis of the left orbicularis oculi [Figure - 1] producing marked lagophthalmos. Eye-brows had dropped off on lateral aspect of both the sides [Figure - 1] and [Figure - 2] but the lashes were normal. There was slight ectropion of the left lower lid, [Figure - 2]. The bulbar area on the left side showed a small ciliary staphyloma from 3 to 5 O'clock position. The limbal blood vessels were tortuous and prominent. The conjunctiva at 2 O'clock, 6 O'clock and 7 O'clock showed episcleral nodules about 2 mm. away from the limbus. The cornea showed an old tongue-shaped deep opacity from 3 O'clock to 5 O'clock position (Old patch of sclerosing keratitis). The lower portion of the cornea, in addition to it, showed a band of exposure keratitis. Few old K. P's were also visible on the back of the cornea. The corneal sensations were markedly impaired. The anterior chamber was deep and clear. The iris was muddy, lusterless and its pattern could not be demonstrated. The pupil was small and irregular due to multiple posterior synechae and was not reacting to light. There was central sclerosis of lens and uveal pigment could be seen on its anterior capsule. Fundus was not clearly visible Patient could only count fingers at ½ meter distance and the tension was normal.
On 12-8-1961 the Right eye of the patient was normal but after one week an episcleral nodule appeared at 9 O'clock position [Figure - 3]. The fundus and tension were normal. The vision on Snellen's chart was 6/9.
Slit lamp examination of both the eyes showed beaded corneal nerves besides other findings as described above.
General examination of the patient revealed marked depigmentation of hands. Terminal phalanx and distal half of middle phalanx of right index finger were missing. The metacarpophalangeal joints were extended whereas the interphalangeal joints were flexed giving rise to the appearance of 'claw hand', more so on the left side. [Figure - 4]. There was loss of sensation in fingers and medial side of palm and dorsum. The X-rays of hands showed marked absorption of hone on the distal ends of proximal and middle phalanx of the same finger. The distal end of proximal phalanx of left index finger also showed marked absorption.
The, left little toe was very small and was riding over the adjacent toe [Figure - 5]. Again the sensations were absent in toes, on planter and dorsal aspects of feet. The distal end of metatarsal bone of left small toe was totally absorbed. Proximal and middle phalanges were missing [Figure - 5]. Few sesamoid bones however were seen in all the four limbs.
The ulner, median, lateral popliteal, and anterior tibial nerves were thickened and beaded at some places.
Lepromin test in this case was strongly positive.
The histology of the episcleral nodule revealed that the piece was lined by stratified epithelium. The underlying tissue showed collections of histiocytes, mono-nuclears, lymphocytes and few foreign body type of giant cells [Figure - 6]. Acid fast stain of the tissue did not show any presence of mycobacterium leprae.
The patient was advised to take warm boric fomentations thrice a day, Hydrocortisone eye drops 1% four times a day, Bentrofene eye drops thrice a day (preparation of Morpholine salt of 4-carboxymethylamino-4' aminodiphenyl sulphone) and ungatropine 1% twice a day in both eyes. Besides this general treatment of sulphones was given in the following dosage:-
Diaminodiphenyl Sulphone (DDS) --- 5o mgms twice a day for six days in a week and then rest for one day. This was given for one month and then rest for one week. This order of dosage was advised for one year.
In addition to it chaulmoogra oil was given for the local use on limbs. Vitamin 'B1' and 'B12' were given parenterally. After 1 month lateral tarsorrhaphy was performed on left side.
This patient came with multiple eye lesions on both the sides. The attack of congestion which the patient got about 2 years back in left eye is in favour of a patch of anterior scleritis which has left its imprint in the form of a small ciliary staphyloma from 3-5 O'clock position and on old patch of sclerosing keratitis with old irridocyclitis. Out of many cases seen here this is the first case where scleral involvement was noted in the tuberculoid variety.
The lagophthalmos in this case was clue to isolated involvement of left orbicularis oculi muscle. This lagophthalmos and impaired sensation of cornea were responsible for the band of exposure keratitis. The paralysis of orbicularis oculi led to slight ectropion of left lower lid which caused marked epiphora.
The episcleral nodules were typically seen on both the sides, more so on the left, near the limbus. The nodules were not tender due to impairment of the sensations. Biopsy of one of these nodules confirmed the etiology.
The presence of thickened and beaded corneal nerves was a very distinctive feature which has been described to be characteristic of leprosy by Vale in 1946.
The lenticular changes in left eye appeared to be senile.
The local and general treatment as described above was carried out for 1½ months. The episcleral nodules disappeared within 1 month. The weakness of the felt orbicularis oculi muscle also improved to some extent. Lateral tarsorrhaphy relieved the epiphora and the lagophthalmos. The general treatment of Sulphones was continued.
A case of tuberculoid type of Leprosy is reported having following ocular involvements:
1. Lagophthalmos with exposure keratitis secondary to paralysis of orbicularis oculi on left side.
2. An old patch of anterior scleritis with sclerosing keratitis and irridocyclitis in left eye.
3. Episcleral nodules on both sides.
4. Thickened and beaded corneal nerves under Slit lamp.
General features of leprosy in this case have also been discussed.
A case tuberculiod type of Leprosy having lagophthalmos, sclerosing keratitis, episcleritis and thickened corneal nerves, in a man of 50 is described. General features in this case are also described. Treatment .Kith sulphones was effcation.[9]

Q: Error when trying to get the date on Android CallLog.Calls Hey I'm trying to get the date from the CallLog.Calls in Android. I'm doing like this:
import org.apache.http.impl.cookie.DateUtils;
import android.database.Cursor;
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
android.provider.CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null,
android.provider.CallLog.Calls.DATE + " DESC ");
int dateId = cursor.getColumnIndex(android.provider.CallLog.Calls.DATE);
String callDate = cursor.getString(dateId);
String dateString = DateUtils.formatDate(callDate);
But the formatDate method doesn't allow String as parameter, it needs a Date parameter. I've tried to make a cast, but I don't think it's right. So, someone have an idea of how to do that?
Thanks.
A: Perhaps you can parse the string and get a date - http://developer.android.com/reference/java/text/DateFormat.html#parse(java.lang.String)

Marjorie Lane (21 de febrero de 1912 – Santa Mónica (California), 2 de octubre de 2012) fue una cantante estadounidense de la década de los 30, conocida principalmente por ser la voz en las canciones de la actriz Eleanor Powell en las películas Born to Dance (1936), Broadway Melody of 1936,
Rosalie (1937) y Broadway Melody of 1938.
Lane se casó con el actor Brian Donlevy desde 1936 hasta 1947 con el que tuvieron un hijo. Su carrera en el cine no se extendió más allá de la década de los 30. A menudo es confundida con otra cantante con el mismo nombre, que actuó en Broadway en 1913.

Let's revisit the beautiful small country of Genovia.
It has been announced that "The Princess Diaries 3" has a script and our favorite queens—Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews—are willing to be a part of it! In celebration, here is a list of my favorite moments that occurred in "The Princess Diaries" and "The Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement" that make the prospect of a third movie even more exciting.
10. All the foot pops!
Whenever Mia's foot popped, that's when you knew it was real! We saw it with Michael and Nicholas—who will make Mia's foot pop in the third movie? I am excited to find out!
This was always the go-to closet for me. It was huge, beautiful, and very chic! Heck, I still want it!
When Mia found out she was a princess, this response was extremely valid and iconic, even today.
Even though she did not want to go through with it, her acceptance of her crown after all was very bittersweet. And she slayed this by giving a beautiful speech while being soaking wet.
Queen Clarisse clearly still got it! Find me a ramp and mattresses so I can try it out.
Anything with Julie Andrews' singing is phenomenal. And adding Raven into the mix? AMAZING!
Un, Deux, Trois! We have ourselves a princess! Where is Paulo to give me a glow up in under a day?
Let me just say: FINALLY! It is great how Queen Clarisse proposed to Joe and they got their happy ever after! I hope in the "Princess Diaries 3" that they stay the cutest couple ever.
She speaks nothing but the truth!
The sparrow flew and became Amelia Migonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Ronaldo, Queen of Genovia! The coronation scene made me very emotional because Mia deserved it and how she did not need a husband to become Queen. What a role model.
I am excited for more notable moments that will make me laugh, cry, and smile. "The Princess Diaries 3" will definitely be an anticipated Disney hit. Now, let me go and sing Genovia's national anthem. | {

December 10, 2013 /LinkedIn/ – As a parent, I've felt the temptation many times to sit my kids down and drill them on life's important lessons – especially the ones I had to learn the hard way. But this approach can be a fool's errand; we all know kids insist on making their own mistakes. My admonitions wouldn't have worked on them any better than my parents' lectures worked on me.
If you've come to the same conclusion, though, don't despair: there's still a way to get through to them. Your kids are always taking mental notes, even when you're not looking. Like it or not, your actions are at the core of what your kids will take with them into their adult lives. Seen through their young eyes, what you say and do in your own life will be the example they retain in spite of themselves.
2. Find the good in yourself. We all deserve to feel good about ourselves, without the need to derive our sense of self-worth from the people around us. Taken together, the judgments of teachers, parents, bosses and friends amount to a hall of funhouse mirrors – one in which you'll never get an accurate reflection of yourself. If you grow up longing for approval, you'll risk becoming a pleaser, dependent on others for your sense of security and well-being. The opinions of those around you – though worth considering – are slender reeds on which to base your self-image. Instead, pick what matters most to you and stick with it.
3. And see the good in others, too. The harvest from showing genuine interest and respect to others is almost invariably an increase in your own self-esteem. The world is full of other people, so don't go through life dismissing them, seeking distance from them, or being shy or afraid. Showing respect – and even reverence – for other humans is virtually always a "win-win" proposition.
4. There's no substitute for hard work. Honest work may be the surest path to self-respect. As alluded to in a post about my earliest jobs, hard work is a privilege – it allows you to discover the depth of your own abilities, and to see the potential in others. Go the extra mile, and see how good you can be at something. The harder you work, the less crowded a road you'll find – fewer people than you think embrace work as a central path to self-worth.
5. Building great habits is critical. The more of them you have, the more capacity you'll have to handle the many competing claims life throws at you. Good habits can take you to unanticipated heights – and in ways that'll almost feel effortless. The "muscle memory" from having developed good habits in your youth (yes, including basics like eating right, good sleep hygiene, regular study and exercise) will sustain you when others flag. Abraham Lincoln said, "by the age of 40, every man has the face he deserves." So it is that your habits will lead you to a destiny you earn.
6. Don't expect fairness – at least in the short run. To deal with life's unfairness, focus on the future, not on the past. Whatever happens, don't wallow. Concentrate on others, not on yourself. Legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi reminded players that, "it's not how many times you're knocked down, but how many times you get up again, that'll determine your destiny." The message: just keep getting up.
7. Be kind – it has more power than you think. In Aesop's fable about strength, the Sun's warm rays win out over the gale force of the North Wind. This gentle approach to influencing others may not be obvious in your early years. A bit of subtle kindness costs nothing, but can have huge benefits. Remember that it doesn't take much to help lift someone's burden, to say a kind word, to notice a success.
9. Embrace reality. President John Adams said, "Facts are stubborn things." You can't change reality, so you need to face it head on. It might sound crazy, but you should seek out bad news – the earlier you find it, the earlier you can do something about it before it gets worse. Look for problems and become the solution. Nothing good ever comes of avoiding the hard truths.
10. "Solve" for the long term. It's crucial to be deliberate about your life. One way to approach this is to ask yourself: What am I solving for? Pleasure is short-lived. Even happiness is dependent on circumstances, and temporary. But joy – or deeper satisfaction – is rooted in meaning. Joy lives beyond the moment and despite present circumstances; and it can be conjured when needed. Peace is the ultimate resolution of a life well lived. It derives from finding a oneness with a purpose outside of yourself. In your own life make peace the quest that trumps the constant allure of pleasure.
Consider keeping your own list of what you want to impart to your kids before they leave home. Even if you never show it to them directly, it'll serve as a map in case you need to make a few of your own course corrections. | {

Ram Sales are held annually at our Bideford Farm.
With a focus on growth from birth to 200 days means the vast majority of clients terminal sired lambs are finished early, meaning feed can be directed into breeding stock.
Uniformly marked lambs, for attractive lines of store lambs with zero chance of slipping into the breeding flock.
As a ram breeder, we expect your rams will last a MINIMUM of two breeding seasons. Any failure will be replaced the next selling season, and we can normally provide a back-up at short notice if required. | {

I'm working on an application that may require up to four conditions to be AND'ed together for client pull replications. But I don't know if I can achive this using Sync Gateway, Couchbase Lite and Couchbase Server.
The Couchbase Server database may contain tens, or even hundreds, of "logical databases" that represent different customer sites. So the first condition would select one of these.
Then within each logical database, there may be up to three conditions that need to be AND'ed together to define the subset of documents to pull.
But I don't know if I can achieve this with Sync Gateway as channels seem to be OR'ed together?
One possibility I thought of was to only use the first condition (Site = 'A') to pull the entire logical database, and then use filtering in the application for the other three conditions. Although this could work, it would result in a lot of unnecesaary documents being replicated from the logical database to the mobile device. And with up to several hundred logical databases, I assume each one would need a unique channel name - which would then have to be assigned to each user (unless I used roles instead)?
So is this a feasible use case for Sync Gateway?
How many different combinations of ANDed conditions will there be? Because you could assign each one of those a channel.
I'm currently working with a contracting company that gets around 10 new customer sites every year, and each site may require 50 - 200 combinations. On the other hand, a company that just uses the application internally may also have a few hundred combinations, but that number won't change much over time.
The approach I'm thinking of using involves creating unique channel names, as you suggested, by concatenating the conditions. So in my example, the channel name would be A_B_C_D. As each condition is a document property that's represented by an ID, hopefully I can generate the channel names by using a sync function.
But then I'd have to assign those channel names to appropriate users or roles. That's a bit harder as two of the conditions (say C and D) are user-dependent. So each user would have a different set of channel names - and they could have hundreds or thousands of them.
So it probably is achievable, but I'm wondering if there's a better way to do it? | {

Atestat
Played by professionals and amateurs (generally male high school and college students), football is one of the most popular American sports, attracting thousands of participants and millions of spectators annually. The sport's premier event is the championship game of the
National Football League (NFL), which is called the Super Bowl. Held each January, the game is attended by more than 60,000 fans and watched by more than 130 million television viewers in the United States.
II FIELD
The football field, sometimes called the gridiron, measures 120 yd (110 m) in length and 160 ft (about 49 m) in width. The 100-yd-long main body of the playing field is divided horizontally in 5-yd intervals with hash marks delineating individual yards. Areas used for scoring, called end zones, are located at each end of the field.
Football can be played on a variety of surfaces, including grass, dirt, and artificial turf. An NFL-regulation playing field measures 120 yd (110 m) long and 53 yd 1 ft (48.8 m) wide. At both ends of the 100-yd main body of the playing field, white lines called goal lines mark off the entrances to the end zones, which are 10 yd (9 m) deep. Each team defends one end zone. To score, a team must carry, pass, or kick the ball into the opponent's end zone. Lines parallel to the end zones cross the main body of the field at 5-yd (4.5-m) intervals. These lines give the field a resemblance to a large gridiron. Sets of lines called the sidelines run along both sides of the field. In addition, two sets of short lines, called hash marks, run down the field at 1 yd (.9 m) intervals. The hash marks are 53 ft 4 in (16.3 m) from each sideline in college and high school football, and 70 ft 9 in (21.6 m) from each sideline in the NFL. After each play, the officials place the ball either between the hash marks or on the hash mark closest to the end of the previous play. The next play begins from that spot.
Situated in the middle of the rear line of each end zone are goalposts, consisting of a 10-ft (3-m) vertical pole topped by a horizontal crossbar. Two vertical posts extend up from the crossbar, 18 ft 6 in (5.6 m) apart. Kickers score extra points (worth one point) and field goals (worth three points) by kicking the ball above the crossbar and between the posts.
III PLAYERS
Football is played by two opposing teams, each fielding 11 players. Each team tries to move the ball down the field to score in the end zone defended by its opponents. During a football game the teams are designated as the offensive team (the team in possession of the ball) and the defensive team (the team defending a goal line against the offensive team). Another group of players, called special teams, enter the game when possession of the ball changes, or when a field goal or extra point is attempted. At the professional level, players usually specialize at one position. At colleges and high schools, players sometimes play both offense and defense, or play on special teams in addition to their regular position.
A Offense
The 11 players of the offensive team work together to move the ball downfield toward their opponent's end zone. They are divided into two groups: seven linemen, who play on the line of scrimmage (an imaginary line designating the position of the ball) and a backfield of four players, called backs, who stand in various positions behind the linemen. The lineman who is positioned in the middle of the line is called the center. On his left is the left guard and on his right is the right guard. On the left of the left guard is the left tackle, and on the right of the right guard is the right tackle. On the ends of the line are the tight end and the split end.
The center begins each play by hiking the ball, or passing it between his legs from a crouched position to the player standing directly behind him. (This action is also referred to as the snap.) After the ball is hiked on a running play, the center, guards, and tackles block defenders to create an open path for the ball carrier. On passing plays the linemen protect the quarterback and give him time to throw. Tight ends and split ends can block opponents, but they may also catch the ball during a passing play.
The back who usually stands directly behind the center and receives the snap is known as the quarterback. The quarterback directs the play of the offensive team by calling out each play. The quarterback may hand off the ball, pass it, or run with it downfield.
In a balanced backfield formation, or T-formation, the fullback stands behind the quarterback, and the left and right halfbacks stand to either side of the fullback. When the quarterback hands the ball off to one of these backs, that player rushes, or runs with the ball. Backs also block when the quarterback throws a pass. Many passes go to wide receivers, players who replace backs or ends and line up on the line of scrimmage but wide of the rest of the formation. They run down the field in planned pass routes to catch balls thrown by the quarterback.
B Defense
The defensive players work together to prevent the offense from scoring. A row of linemen called the defensive line position themselves at the line of scrimmage; a row of linebackers position themselves about 5 yd (4.6 m) behind the defensive line; and a collection of defensive backs, called the secondary, stand on the end of the defensive line and behind the linebackers.
The defensive line can use any number of players, but most teams use three or four linemen. Defensive linemen principally are responsible for stopping the opposition's rushing attack and, in passing situations, putting pressure on the quarterback. Depending on the situation, linebackers stop runners, pressure the quarterback, or cover the opposition's receivers. Teams usually employ three or four linebackers. The secondary is composed of cornerbacks and safeties. These players cover receivers, tackle rushers who break down the field, and pressure the quarterback. The secondary commonly consists of two cornerbacks who defend the wide receivers and two safeties who guard the area behind the linebackers.
C Special Teams Each team has players who enter the game during special plays such as kickoffs, field goals, punts, and returns. The kicker kicks off at the beginning of a game or half, and after his team has scored. The kicker also scores points for the offensive team by kicking the ball through the goalpost uprights; these scores are called field goals. When the offensive team must surrender the ball to the opponents, a punter comes in to kick the ball downfield as far as possible toward the opponent's end zone. One player on the return team catches the kickoff or punt and runs upfield while the other return team players block for him. The return team tries to give the offense good starting field position.
IV OFFICIALS .
Football Hand Signals
Football hand signals are often symbolic of the decision being given; for example, to signal a holding penalty, an official holds one wrist firmly with the other hand. Although the referee usually gives the signals, they can be given by any of the game officials.
A team of officials supervises play in a regulation game. Professional and major college football programs use seven officials: a referee, an umpire, a linesman, a field judge, a back judge, a line judge, and a side judge. The officials carry whistles and yellow penalty flags. They blow the whistles or throw the flags to indicate that an infraction of the rules has occurred.
The referee is in charge of the game at all levels of play. The referee supervises the other officials, decides on all matters not under other officials' specific jurisdiction, and enforces penalties. The referee indicates when the ball is dead or out of play, and when it may again be put into play. The referee uses hand signals to indicate these specific decisions and penalties. The referee also makes all final decisions regarding instant replay, when a questionable call is reviewed on videotape.

Detox Diets For Weight Reduction – Good Idea Or Probably Not?
Hey, you never know, maybe the person you meet that one day at an event is extra person you've been waiting for the life. So isn't it only fitting that you always make an effort to make an outstanding first notion?
Amber is disappointed to learn that Oliver didn't jump into the sack with Hope last week. Amber instructs Oliver she expects him to seal the deal for 'real' this time with Hope just like she did with Liam. Oliver senses the obvious flaw in their own statement while he thought Amber sealed package for real months ago with Liam which leaded to her becoming pregnant. Amber quickly covers. At least Oliver is focus. Liam never would have grasped that any.
If you appear at The actor-brad pitt in Fight Club, he is actually quite skinny, with little a muscular body. But a new result of his leanness he looks very muscular and toned. So, although matter of information is ways to build muscle like actress sneha. You prefer to also work on losing weight to show of your muscles, a person will never get that film star look.
So to the actors out there, although, honestly, it could apply to writers, composers, directors, and anyone in need of representation of any kind.
The Honeymoon Killers confirmed to be the film adaptation of any true story, involving lovers named Martha Beck (played by Shirley Stoler) and Raymond Fernandez (played by Tony Lo Bianco). Their original plan had visited swindle money from single women from a lonely-hearts associated with scam, however the operation got complicated from a big hurry, and fraud quickly turned into murder on a repeated base. The actual couple killed twelve people during their crime spree, although the film does not depict a large number of murders.
The CIG work was very well put together. The fight scenes were cool and the use of powers to save people was pretty helpful. I believe Mr. Fantastic is start off one to live action out associated with the actresses a couple. He stretches. There's absolutely nothing to really base reality lets start work on that. It isn't like fire where realize what without sounding rude look like encased in fire or like a rock man who is solely rock—he stretches like rubberband and that in it self it then makes it different and weird and complicated. I think they did will probably so. Plus there is Kerry Washington as Alisha Masters who had been in the first film. She's blind it is the girlfriend of Ben/The Thing. She has a more prominent roll in this film a couple of of it's amusing.
I am glad when i settled to do this one. I put it behind only Mr. Majestyk (another overlooked excellent movie, by the way) as Bronson's best product. In addition, it features James Coburn overacting, for sure, but doing so in a manner you can't help but like.
The absolute best thing that can be done is talk to your child. This isn't always easy but it is to keep trying. Let your child know you aren't trying to pry nevertheless, if they need to talk for you about something important you always there to listen to them and help people. | {

Q: Copy Activity Properties to update Azure DW data from an on prem SQL stored procedure in data factory I'm not sure that what I'm trying to achieve is even possible in Data factory, but I guess there should be a way.
Simply put it, I have a table in DW that needs to be updated by a stored procedure once a day.
This stored procedure resides on the Source DB, I am looking for a way to pass some IDs and get the results from that SP and store it in DB.
Any Help would be appreciated. Below Pipeline is all I could think of:
{
"name": "UpdateColumnX",
"properties": {
"activities": [
{
"type": "SqlServerStoredProcedure?? Not Really Sure",
"typeProperties": {
"source": {
"type": "SqlSource",

},
"storedProcedureName": "UpdateDataThroughSP",
"storedProcedureParameters": {
"StartDate": "$$Text.Format('{0:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss}', Time.AddHours(WindowStart,10))",
"EndDate ": "$$Text.Format('{0:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss}', Time.AddHours(WindowEnd,10))"
}
},
"inputs": [
{
"name": "Not Sure which table should be my Input, the DW table having the IDs or the source table? "
}
],
"outputs": [
{
"name": "Sames and Input not sure"
}
],

"timeout": "01:00:00",

"retry": 3
},

"frequency": "Day",
"interval": 1,
"offset": "20:30:00"
},
"name": "Update Data through Source SP"
}
],

"end": "2099-12-30T13:00:00Z",

New Brunswick, NJ ― Reynold Panettieri, M.D., a pulmonologist from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, has joined Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS) to develop the university's first clinical and translational science institute and serve as its director. He will also be the vice chancellor for clinical and translational research.
Dr. Panettieri, leaving his current role as the Robert L. Mayock and David A. Cooper Professor of Pulmonology Medicine at UPenn, assumed his position last month.
Brian Strom, chancellor of RBHS, said Rutgers' commitment to clinical and translational science is vital to its continued evolution into one of the country's leading academic health centers.
Translational science describes the collaborative process involving a combination of scientists — which may include researchers, clinicians, biologists and members of the pharmaceutical industry — to address an unmet medical need, such as the development of cancer drug therapy with reduced toxicity or a best-practices community approach to treating asthma.
Dr. Panettieri's experience leading major centers at UPenn and his research and expertise in clinical and translational research for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma made him an outstanding choice to head the institute, Strom said.
"With his stature and reputation, we greatly enhance our ability to undertake major multidisciplinary collaborations and compete strongly for NIH clinical research funding," Strom said.
Dr. Panettieri, 58, has long studied cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate airway smooth muscle cell growth and is involved in clinical investigations focused on the management of asthma and COPD, a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems, including emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and in some cases asthma.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 15 million Americans say that they have COPD.
Most recently, he has served as director of both the comprehensive asthma program for the University of Pennsylvania Health System and Penn's Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology.
Currently, he and Vera Krymskaya are seeking FDA approval for a dual drug approach they've developed — rapamycin/simvastatin — to help fight a rare lung disease called lymphangioleiomyomatosis, known as LAM, which kills young women exclusively.
As institute director, Dr. Panettieri will seek to engage researchers throughout Rutgers' undergraduate and graduate divisions in collaborative, interdisciplinary efforts to achieve common goals. A major focus, Dr. Panettieri said, will be understanding the molecular makeup of disease and illnesses.
Dr. Panettieri's overall goal is to speed up clinical and translational research and implementation, he said, enabling the institute to demonstrate it can support applications for National Institutes of Health clinical and translational science awards that significantly advance such research.
Though he has not yet created a priority plan, Dr. Panettieri says he will explore opportunities to enhance efforts surrounding COPD and asthma as he establishes the institute's initial wave of research projects.
Setting the institute in motion and launching the training of clinical and translational researchers will achieve another goal for Strom and Panettieri — attracting and developing new researchers. | {

Ram Bhagat Singh & Anr Vs. State of Haryana & Anr [1990] INSC 121 (4 April 1990)
Mukharji, Sabyasachi (Cj) Mukharji, Sabyasachi (Cj) Saikia, K.N. (J) Ramaswamy, K.
CITATION: 1990 SCR (2) 329 JT 1990 (2) 114 1990 SCALE (1)716
Punjab Civil Services (Judicial Branch) Rules, 1951 (As adapted by Haryana State): Part C--Rule 8--Haryana Judicial Service Examination--Prescription of 55 marks in aggregate for qualifying-Whether results in denial of equality of opportunity to scheduled castes/ scheduled tribes candi- dates.
Constitution of India: Articles 14, 15, 16 & 38--Haryana Judicial Service Examination--Fixation of 55 marks in aggregate for qualifying-Whether results in denial of equal- ity of opportunity to scheduled castes/scheduled tribes candidates.
Rule 8 of the Punjab Civil Services (Judicial Branch Rules, 1951, as adapted by the State of Haryana, lays down that no candidate shall be considered to have qualified in the examination unless he obtains at least 55% marks in the aggregate of all papers, including the viva-voce test.
The petitioners assailed the said provision on the ground that fixation of 55% marks has resulted in denial of equality of opportunity to the scheduled castes and sched- uled tribes segments of the community vis-a-vis general candidates for determining their suitability and/or eligi- bility for appointment in the judicial branch of the Haryana Civil Services in the absence of lower percentage having been prescribed for them as in other States.
Disposing of the writ petition and the appeal, the Court,
HELD: 1. Public services and public employment do not exist for providing jobs in terms of equality or otherwise to all. Only public services and public employment must serve public purpose and nothing that hampers or impairs the efficiency or efficacy of public services should be permit- ted in ensuring conditions of constitutional equality. These should be done objectively, rationally and reasonably.
2. Scheduled castes and scheduled tribes for reasons historical or otherwise, are unequal with the general mem- bers of the community in respect of ability and qualifica- tion for public employment. They are unable to compete in terms of absolute equality with the members of other commu- nities or groups in the society. Hence, in order to make them compete on conditions of equality with others in re- spect of jobs and employments of the State certain relaxa- tions and other factors ensuring equality are imperative.
Our Constitution so enjoins it. Article 38 of the Constitu- tion read with Article 14, 15 and 16 so mandates it. [332D- E; C]
3. In the instant case, high efficiency is required because the recruitment is in the judicial branch, that is to say, for prospective judicial officers who will be in charge of administration of justice in the country. But at the same time, if possible, in order to ensure that there is equality of opportunity, a percentage should be fixed which without, in any way, compromising with the efficiency re- quired for the job which will be attainable by backward communities, that is to say, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. Unless such a percentage is fixed on the aforesaid basis and a percentage is fixed for qualification which would normally be unattainable by the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes determined on an objective basis, it would not be possible to ensure equality of opportunity. [333D--F]
4.1 The Government is directed to make a conscious decision objectively before the next selections take place, and determine a minimum percentage of marks consistent with efficiency and the need for ensuring equality of opportunity to scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. [334B]
4.2 The Government should also consider whether further relaxation in age in favour of scheduled castes and sched- uled tribes can be made; and if so, to what extent without hampering efficiency of the administration. This should also be considered before the next selections for appointment to the post are made. [334C]
CIVIL ORIGINAL JURISDICTION: Writ Petition No. 1147 of 1988.
(Under Article 32 of the Constitution of India)
WITH Civil Appeal No. 1782 of 1990.
330 From the Judgment and Order dated 5.6.1987 of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in C.W.P. No. 13 13 of 1986 R. Venkataramani, Mahabir Singh, M.S. Ganesh and C.M. Nayar for the Appearing Parties.
The Judgment of the Court was delivered by SABYASACHI MUKHARJI, CJ. The petitioners are law graduates.
They state that they belong to scheduled castes and sched- uled tribes segments of the community. They are seeking enforcement of the right to equality of opportunity in the matter of appointment to posts in the subordinate judiciary in the State of Haryana. The State of Haryana has reserved 20% of the posts in the Haryana Civil Service (Judicial Branch) for the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. It is the case of petitioners that though 20% of the posts in the Haryana Civil Service (Judicial Branch) have been reserved for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, the strength of the appointments made since 1969 onwards reveals that hardly 8% of the total posts i.e., 40 to 45% only of the cadre strength have been allotted to the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. The petitioners contend that in other States of India different percentages of marks have been prescribed for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and gener- al candidates for determining their suitability and/or eligibility for appointment. But in Haryana, they contend, minimum marks have been prescribed as 55% for all categories of candidates, namely, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and general candidates.
In this connection, it may be appropriate to refer to the fact that under the Punjab Civil Services (Judicial Branch) Rules framed in exercise of powers conferred by Article 234 read with proviso to Article 309 of the Consti- tution of India, rules have been framed and are prevalent.
Part 'C' of the rules deals with the rules and instructions for the examination of the candidates for admission to the judicial branch of the Haryana Civil Service. Part 'C' of the said rules was brought into force by the Haryana Adapta- tion Laws (State and concurrent subjects) Order, 1968. Rules 7 and 8 of the said rules, inter alia, provides as follows:
"7. No candidate shall be called for the viva-voce test unless he obtains at least 45% of marks in the aggregate in all the written papers and 33% marks in the language paper, Hindi (in Devanagri script).
8. No candidate shall be considered to have qualified in the examination unless he obtains at least 55 per cent marks in the aggregate of all papers including the viva-voce test." It is the case of the petitioners that fixation of the ,standard of marks which the petitioners describe as high standard, has resulted in denial of opportunity to the scheduled castes and' scheduled tribes thus amounting to denial of equality of opportunity in the jobs which, the petitioners contend, the State otherwise sought to achieve and ought to achieve in favour of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes.
We are of the opinion that equality of opportunity should be striven for and ensured in public employment.
Steps should be taken to see where unequals are competing, conditions must be created by relaxation or otherwise so that unequals compete in terms of equality with others in respect of jobs and employments of the State. Our Constitu- tion so enjoins it. Article 38 of the Constitution read with Articles 14, 15 and 16 so mandates it. In order, therefore, to give those who are unequals, and it is accepted that scheduled castes and scheduled tribes for reasons historical or otherwise, are unequal with the general members of the community in respect of ability and qualification for public employment. Hence, in order to make the unequals compete on conditions of equality certain relaxations and other factors ensuring equality are imperative. Those groups or segments of society which are by reasons of history or otherwise unable to compete in terms of absolute equality with the members of other communities or groups in the society, should be ensured and assured chances of competing in terms of equality. They must be helped to compete equally but it is important to emphasise that equality of opportunity is sought to be achieved for the public services or employment.
The efficacy and efficiency of that service is of prime consideration.' Equality must be there for all to compete for the public services. Public services and public employ- ment do not exist for providing jobs in terms of equality or otherwise to all. Only public services and public employment must serve public purpose and nothing that hampers or im- pairs the efficiency or efficacy of public services cannot and should not be permitted in ensuring conditions of con- stitutional equality. These should be done objectively, rationally and reasonably. As is often said, it may be that need to ensure equality for scheduled castes and scheduled tribes should not be surrendered on the facile and value based perception of efficiency. Yet efficiency must be ensured. Real equality must be accorded.
332 As mentioned hereinbefore, the contention of the peti- tioners is that 55% marks in aggregate in all papers includ- ing viva voce test constitute rather a high standard for qualification and eligibility. They contend that for most of the scheduled caste and scheduled tribe aspirants for the job it is difficult to achieve that standard. It is said that in other parts of this vast land of ours the standard is not as high as that. Sri Venkatramani, advocate for the petitioners, contended that in other States on an all-India basis such a high standard of marks is not envisaged. Sri Mahabir Singh, learned advocate appearing for the State of Haryana and Sri C.M. Nayar, learned advocate for the Public Service Commission contend that it must be presumed that the minimum percentage desirable for the purpose of efficiency has been prescribed. It was further submitted by Sri Nayar that in respect of candidates other than scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, normally those obtaining far higher than 55% marks become eligible for consideration. That may or may not be so but what is required is that we must ensure efficiency in administration. We must, therefore, objective- ly, rationally and by a conscious process--conscious in the sense by application of mind to the relevant factors arrive at a percentage which should be considered to be a minimum one in order to ensure the efficiency of the administration.
We are conscious that high efficiency is required because the recruitment is in the judicial branch, that is to say, for prospective judicial officers who will be in charge of administration of justice in the country. But at the same time, if possible, in order to ensure that there is equality of opportunity, a percentage should be fixed which without, in any way, compromising with the efficiency required for the job which will be attainable by backward communities, that is to say, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes.
Unless such a percentage is fixed on the aforesaid basis and a percentage is fixed for qualification which would normally be unattainable by the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes determined on an objective basis, it would not be possible to ensure equality of opportunity. Both S/Sri Mahabir Singh and Nayar have urged that the minimum must be presumed to have been so fixed in the Haryana Service. However, that fact is not apparent and there is nothing on record to indicate that this percentage was fixed deliberately on an analysis and careful examination and determination on the lines and the principles indicated above.
In that view of the matter, in our opinion, in the interest of justice and our constitutional mandates and in the light of the efficiency of the services and with a view to create a sense of justice, it is necessary for the Gov- ernment concerned to consider this question as 333 to what should be the minimum percentage of marks necessary for the administration. We direct that the Government will make a conscious decision objectively before the next selec- tions for the post in Haryana Judicial Service take place, and determine a minimum percentage of marks consistent with efficiency and the need for ensuring equality of opportunity to scheduled castes and scheduled tribes.
It was also contended by Sri Venkataramani that some of the candidates belonging to the scheduled castes and sched- uled tribes have become overaged, therefore, the Government should also consider whether further relaxation in age in favour of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes can be made; and if so, to what extent without hampering efficiency of the administration. This should also be considered before the next selections for appointment to the post are made.
In the aforesaid light, special leave is granted in civil appeal No. 15,000/88 and the judgment and order of the High Court of Punjab & Haryana, dated 5th June, 1987 are modified to the extent indicated above. The writ petition and the appeals are disposed of accordingly without any order as to costs.

The Omega Hydraulic diggings was near the Alpha Diggings. These sites were named by gold miners in the 1850s. Neither site exists today because the hydraulic diggings overwhelmed the town-sites and they both disappeared. The Omega site is visible from the Omega Rest area as visitors look down the Yuba River Canyon at the hillsides below.
Hydraulic mining was especially damaging to the hillsides, rivers and habitat. The Sawyer Decision of 1883 ended the practice of hydraulic mining, and many gold mining camps that depended on that method as the primary mining strategy were quickly abandoned for more productive camps. For more information about the Sawyer Decision, see the Alpha Diggings site.
Today, the old trails through the Alpha and Omega diggings area are considered some of the best mountain biking trails in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
The historical landmark is located at the Omega Rest Area, six miles east of Washington Road in the town of Washington. | {

With "Star Trek" celebrating its 50th anniversary, it felt like the appropriate time to look back at all of the "Star Trek" series (excluding 2017's "Star Trek: Discovery" of course). Even though there are only 6 series thus far, it was a tough task to rank the top 3 as they are all bonafide classics. I could change my mind tomorrow, but as of right now, this is how the ranking sits. Time to beam up the list!
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine- Between TOS and TNG, the starship based series had been exhausted. It was time for something new for the franchise and DS9 boldly went in a new direction with its huge cast of characters, numerous ongoing ambitious story arcs, a massive war, darker stories, and brilliant episodes (such as "Far Beyond The Stars" and "Trials And Tribble-ations"). Even though the series has a loyal fanbase and is a lot of Trek fan's favorite series, it is still one of the most underrated TV series.
Star Trek: The Next Generation- I went back and forth on whether I should put TNG at number 2 or 3, but at the end of the day, TNG took second place for me. TNG had the tough task of following up the original series and it managed to set itself apart from its predecessor by introducing new characters, new elements (like the holodeck), new worlds, and new aliens (namely the Borg). At a time when TV programs were less than stellar, the intelligent and creative TNG stood head and shoulders above most everything else on at the time. It revitalized sci-fi television and the Trek franchise.
Star Trek: The Original Series- I could easily rank TOS as number 1 or 2. Not only was it the first Trek series, but it was also groundbreaking television (sci-fi or otherwise). The series told challenging and rich stories and broke new ground by showing such things as the first interracial kiss on screen. There's a reason the series continues to endure to this day- it's simply a classic.
Star Trek: Enterprise- This Trek prequel series gets a lot of hate, but there's a lot of rewarding stuff here. "Enterprise" went back to the roots of Trek, took risks (the season long Xindi arc), offered up great new characters (Tucker and Commander Shran), and delivered some clever episodes such as "Carbon Creek" and "Regeneration." We can all agree that the series finale ("These Are The Voyages…") was horrendous though.
Star Trek: Voyager- The ensemble cast of characters is terrific (especially The Doctor) but they were all wasted in a largely poorly scripted Trek series that was essentially "Lost In Space." On top of that, the series has not aged well at all over the years.
Star Trek: The Animated Series- Despite bringing back most of the TOS cast to reprise their roles as voice actors, this was a stiff Filmation animated series. | {

The NCD Alliance Interviews Sir George Alleyne
Home / News & Events / News / The NCD Alliance Interviews Sir George Alleyne
The NCD Alliance had the pleasure of speaking with Sir George Alleyne shortly after the United Nations DPI/NGO conference took place in Melbourne this past 30 August – 1 September on the theme "Advance Global Health: Achieve the MDGs". Sir George highlighted the central role of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) for global health and development as a keynote speaker in the closing ceremonies. Sir George, a Barbados-born physician, was the Director of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) from 1995 until 2003. He was also appointed as the UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean in 2003. His contribution to health has been recognized on several occasions: in 1990 he was knighted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for his service to medicine and in 2001, received the Order of the Caribbean Community, the highest honour that can be conferred on a Caribbean national. He has been a global advocate for the case of non-communicable diseases and contributed to the successful passage of UN Resolution 64/265 calling for a UN Summit on NCDs.
Here is what Sir George Alleyne had to say regarding his impressions of the UN DPI/NGO conference, progress on the Millennium Development Goals and his hopes for the UN summit on NCDs.
Good morning and thank you for your time Sir George Alleyne. Could you tell us about how you first became interested in health?
This is not a question that most people can answer. If people tell you something like "oh, I got interested in health because there was a great physician who changed my mind"... doubt them! It is a combination of factors: environmental, family background, school, the state of your own health, the financial aspect…all those things. When I finished school, you usually had the choice between medicine, teaching or law and for reasons which are not quite clear to me now, I chose medicine.
How do you think the global health agenda has changed since you were director at PAHO?
First of all, there has been a greater interest in the issue of reducing inequity. This has been one of the great changes that we have seen globally over the past years. Secondly, there has been a great interest in health per se, the idea that health is considered intrinsic to development globally, and with the introduction of the human development index in which health is a major part, there has been a great appreciation of the role and contribution to health in development. Third, in terms of the epidemiology, there has been a greater emphasis on non-communicable diseases.
How significant do you think the recent UNDPI meeting in Australia was? Was it successful?
I thought it went quite well given the number of people attending and NGOs represented, including some I had never heard of. I was also really impressed by the level of commitment by these NGOs, by the level of their enthusiasm and the number of young people who were really active. I was impressed by the event overall and the tremendous organization, as well as the venue. It was very well attended, and I was pleased by the number and scope of NGOs. The workshops that I attended were very well-run. I was also really pleased with the final declaration.
How much of an impact did you think NGOs made on NCDs in the meeting?
I was very pleased that the whole area of NCDs figured in the final declaration and the attention paid to them in the workshops.. I was also pleased to see many very good workshops devoted to the issue of NCDs. There were also several non-health people who attended these workshops. People who were interested not only in the medical, but particularly the social aspect of the problem.
We hear there were some discussions about cooperation between NGOs and different sectors. Do you foresee progress in this field?
If you are asking if there was interest shown by non-health sectors in health issues, then the answer is definitely yes!
How important do you consider the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) review summit in two weeks in New York? What is its significance in achieving the MDGs?
Well, they are going to see what the level of progress is, which I think is very important. Equally important is to see the level of commitment in achieving more rapidly these MGDs in which there hasn't been sufficient progress. I hope that the outcome documents from the MDG review will recognize the importance of NCDs in achieving the MDGs as a whole. As I have pointed out, it will not be possible to achieve the MDGs unless you pay attention to NCDs.
Could you tell us more about your hopes regarding the outcomes and the role of governments?
My hopes are that there will be a rigorous evaluation of the extent to which the world has achieved the MDGs, and that there will be a firm commitment to acceleration in the areas in which the goals have not been achieved. And that from a parochial point of view that there will be an agreement on the fact that the health MDGs are incomplete if they do not recognize the importance of NCDs.
In your opinion, what is key for the UN summit on NCDs (in Sept 2011) to be successful?
The key to be successful would be a commitment by the heads of governments to recognise the importance of these diseases and a recognition and a determination to address the risk factors, especially the preventable ones like smoking, unhealthy diets and inadequate physical activity which we know account for a large number of NCDs.
There should be a system for monitoring what happens after the summit. I think equally important is a commitment to provide the interventions, technology, medicines etc that are necessary for the treatment of these diseases when they occur. So it is important to have a firm commitment to the prevention and for the governments to accept that they can use the tools they have at their disposal for the prevention of these diseases and also to accept the responsibility for providing the appropriate medication for the diseases when they do occur. We also need to see a re-organization and a reconceptualization of health systems to take account of the changing demographic and epidemiological pattern in the world as a whole.
What would a strong health system that is able to successfully integrate treatment of NCDs look like, particularly in a low-income country?
All good health systems have certain inputs. And one has to see what the appropriate inputs are to achieve major outputs like better health at individual and population level, better patient satisfaction, an adequate financial protection for patients, as well as achieving equity and health as the major outputs of any good health system. We all know what the standards inputs are, the resources that need to be applied. One of the issues that have to come to the fore is the appreciation that the health care system has to be able to address chronic care. Many health care systems, especially in developing countries, were more attuned to acute episodes that affected children and adults and not so well attuned to the long-term chronic care of problems. But now we have to deal with chronic problems, whether they are communicable like HIV/AIDS or non-communicable conditions. We have to have the kind of systems that can address chronic care. | {

Former 'Loose Women' panellist Katie Price has been scandalously dropped from the show, after she was filmed getting up to wild antics on a recent trip to Majorca.
She was a regular on daytime TV show 'Loose Women' up until January this year, and has appeared as a guest a number of times over the summer.
However, after her recent trip to Spain, it looks like she won't be appearing on the show again.
Price was filmed rapping about her love for cocaine, and also saying "f*** my job in the media". The clip was reportedly taken after the TV personality reportedly met two German men while she was out partying in the resort of Puerto Portals. The men have allegedly said that Price went home with them to "continue partying", where they took drugs together, and she eventually left at 10am the next day.
Showrunners have said they will not have Katie back on the show while she is still in the midst of a downward spiral. Former friend Danielle Lloyd thinks Katie is "going through a midlife crisis" as she struggles to deal with mounting debt, as well as the end of her marriage to Kieran Hayler, after he allegedly cheated on her with two of her friends. Her mother was also recently diagnosed with a terminal illness.

It started with me finally meeting one of my fav (fellow asian) vegan instagrammer's Jenny! We'd been following each others and talking over social media for ages, but we finally met in person today! But honestly it felt like I'd known her for ages. We walked around the Queen Vic Markets, bought some fruit, and bought these spicy potato panini sandwiches... WAY TOO YUMMY OH MAN. Then we went back to her place and just talked for ages while eating. We talked about everything from our childhood to our dreams.
I also tried an australian mango AND OMG IT BLEW MY MIND, SO SWEET, SO TASTY, SO AMAZING.
After that, we hit hosier lane to take some rad photos with some rad graffiti. I'm obsessed with all the graffiti in the city, I find it so real and so beautiful! And of course after all the picture taking we decided we were hungry so we set off to brunswick street for some munching.
Then we met up with Elle, Callum, and Candice for some dinner at Yong Green Food. We got so much insane food but my fav was the green curry and pho, BUT EVEN BETTER THAN THAT WERE THE DESSERTS. THE TIRAMISU WAS JUST OH MY GOD. THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF TASTING AH.
But however incredible the food was, that wasn't what made this night special. It was the people and the conversations we had. We talked about everything from consciousness, to the infinite capability we have for love, to the beliefs we have on health. It was an incredibly charged conversation that left me excited, happy, inspired, and tongue tied. and THAT, THAT right there is what I'm grateful for. I'm grateful for those moments in life where you just feel so jazzed and on fire. I'm grateful for those moments that leave you speechless and tongue tied. I'm just oh so grateful for real conversations with real people that revolve around more than just gossip and judging others. I'm grateful for high vibrational accepting people. What are you grateful for? | {

Very well balanced wine with a nice touch of acidity on the bright long finish.
Packed with aromas of fresh tropical fruit and candied pineapple, jasmine, and sun warmed rocks on a summer day. The re- freshing taste of ripe juicy white peach with tart quince and a long finish of sweetened grapefruit. | {

Senators Kaine and Warner Show Support for USMCA
This week, both Sen. Mark Warner and Sen. Tim Kaine showed support for the U.S. Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Estimates indicate the United States will gain more than $2 billion in additional farm exports and $65 billion in gross domestic product once the agreement is in place
Earlier this week, Sen. Warner and the Senate Finance Committee passed USMCA moving the agreement one step closer to a full Senate vote and ratification.
On Thursday, Sen. Kaine released the following statement announcing his support ahead of votes in Senate committees on the deal next week:
"Canada and Mexico are two of Virginia's largest trading partners, and maintaining a strong trade relationship with them is critical for businesses and farmers across the Commonwealth," said Kaine. "My test for whether I'd support USMCA has always been whether the deal includes strong protections for workers and the environment. After changes negotiated by Democrats with the Administration, I feel confident this bill meets that threshold, and I'll support its passage through Congress."
A number of organizations are also in favor of USMCA, including Virginia Farm Bureau, Farm Credit of the Virginias, the Virginia Cattlemen's Association, and the Virginia Poultry Federation.
"Virginia Farm Bureau strongly supports passage of USMCA. The new trade agreement would build on the success of NAFTA while modernizing and updating that agreement with important provisions that support U.S. agriculture, and drive American innovation and competitiveness. At a time when American farmers are facing low commodity prices, natural disasters, and overseas trade wars, the USMCA provides trade certainty to farmers and allows Virginia farmers to compete in an increasingly crowded global economy," said Wayne Pryor, President of the Virginia Farm Bureau.

Apple is now bigger than Google, Amazon, Tesla and Walmart combined
recession? It resembles Apple inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) did not get the message.
While many other companies like that Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) are down as much as 70%, Apple has barely entered bear market territory from its all-time highs.
Do not miss it: Never lose your stuff again – the startup pouring gas on the Apple AirTag
On the other hand, even powerhouses like Google are older Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) have since fallen significantly and are on a declining trend. For example, Google is down about 37% and Amazon is down even further to a whopping 50%. Combined, Apple is now worth more than some of the largest companies in the world. This includes being worth more than Google, Amazon, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), and Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) combined.
So, what does Apple do differently? Apple doesn't post huge profits, but it meets expectations or only makes minor mistakes. Google's profits plummeted 27% in the third quarter and Amazon had a weak outlook and a year-over-year drop in net profit.
But perhaps even more important is the massive share buyback program. Apple bought back nearly $90 billion of its own stock in fiscal 2022. Apple has spent more than $550 billion on share buybacks since the program began in fiscal 2013. This compares to Amazon's $0 spent on buybacks and only about $15 billion for Google.
But maybe the tides are shifting. Google recently announced a nearly $70 billion share buyback program for 2023 after seeing the success of Apple's program. Meanwhile, some estimate that Apple's buybacks will slow as dividends continue to rise, stock buybacks become increasingly expensive and earnings may fall as a result of the recession.
This could mean Apple's winning streak is slowing, while Google could be a valuable play. But this theory doesn't explain the drop in profitability and net income for those stocks.
The game may not be fully public stock, as increased volatility and mediocre returns may well be the stock market for the foreseeable future. One option is to diversify into startups. For example, MaxTracker is a startup that is currently fundraising and looking to bolster the Apple AirTag. Instead of Apple's inconsistent Bluetooth approach, MaxTracker adds GPS capabilities, alarms, and longer battery life to the mix.

Miners beat a path to digital operations
By Ry Crozier on Sep 26, 2012 7:40AM
Mobility has a future in mining, but perhaps without the hard hat.
iTnews investigates how the world's biggest operators are changing.
Mining firms are dramatically reshaping perceptions as they embrace digital systems and draw workers away from the pit, according to technology experts and CIOs in the sector.
Interest in the transition to digital mining is high, with the topic dominating proceedings at the SAP Mining and Metals Forum in Germany earlier this month, as well as recent discussions by iTnews with top mining firms.
"Digital mining is in the head of everybody," SAP Mining & Metals director, Georg Gradl, told iTnews.
"A target that everybody's going for is to go from a company perception of an operation where people wear hard hats and drive trucks into a technology company [where] people are sitting in operating centres which may not be directly at the mine to do ... many of the things still being done by people.
"It's really the target of mine companies to be more perceived as technology companies."
Despite downward pressure on commodity prices and recent headcount reductions in most of the mine houses, key technology projects — such as those in support of a digital transition — appeared to still be progressing.
Frequently held up as a leader in the charge towards digital mining, Rio Tinto, for example, has shown few outward signs of slowed investment on its 'Mine of the Future' program, continuing to hire despite headcount reductions in other areas of the business.
"What we're seeing now definitely mirrors what we've seen in past downturns or lulls in the market — 2009 for example — and that is really prioritisation and continued focus on the careful investments where IT can make a difference," said Jeremiah Stone, SAP Labs' sustainable operations & product solutions management vice president.
"We're starting to see the digital mine become reality. It's evolving very quickly, [but] the focus on digital mine technology, automation and its impact on safety is a very common and regular discussion.
"Whatever we can do with automated machinery and devices to remove humans from the mine face and danger with direct contact with the mining activity is definitely a focus and point of discussion."
Minerals and Metals Group (MMG) chief information officer Peter McLure saw digital mining as an evolution to "a more connected organisation that really operates in a different way, enabled by some of the new digital technologies".
The safety aspect of pulling mine personnel back from "the hot, dirty, dangerous frontend of mining" was one driver for digital mining, McLure noted, though the trend spoke more broadly to personnel issues experienced by mine companies.
"We mainly operate fly-in fly-out operations in some remote parts of the world, and it really costs us a lot to have people onsite," McLure said.
"If we don't need to have people onsite we shouldn't have people onsite. [So] you're seeing trends around pulling specialist functions out of mine sites and putting them into hubs, and locating those hubs somewhere where its easier to attract people.
"But in order to do that you really have to digitise the work before you can move it."
McLure noted that the drive towards digital mining required changes at "multiple" organisational levels, and that the projects could not be spearheaded by IT alone.
"You need allies," he said. "You need to convince a number of players in the business to step up and own pieces of this."
Digital mining projects typically came with aspects of technological and organisational cultural change.
"If you think through all the implications of digital mining it really changes organisational models, it changes roles and responsibilities, it changes relationships between the various groups in a company," McLure said, noting that much of this responsibility sat outside IT.
"It seems to me one of the challenges for IT folks is they can often visualise the layout and architecture ... but they generally don't actually have the power to deliver because of the changes in the organisation that this thing involves.
"IT generally doesn't own the organisational model for the company — someone else does — so you need whoever's doing that to see the potential and step up and take on board this change."
Much of the potential for digital mining would depend on the orientation and predisposition of individual mining companies to the transformation needed to make it work.
"Perhaps at MMG we have a bit of openness to that," McLure said.
"We have an aspiration to grow by a factor of four or five and become a leading mid-tier mining company.
"To do that we'll have to change at all levels, so it leaves the executives very much open considering what might accelerate growth [for] the company."
But, McLure said, he "wouldn't expect that all companies are ready for it".
In addition to driving organisational change, technology changes may also be required, particularly networking mine sites to enable operation from afar.
"You tend to get mine site infrastructure delivered when the mine is built," McLure said.
"Often that means you get what your EPCM [engineering, procurement and construction management] contractor gives you."
McLure said new mine sites were being fitted with communications networks such as underground fibre optic cabling, providing flexibility for the sites to support greater levels of automation and digital systems.
"It's pretty hard to do after you've already developed the place, but if you're doing it from the start, it gives you a lot more flexibility down the track," he said.
Rio Tinto's head of innovation John McGagh said his firm had taken "a long bet on communications", equipping mine sites with "wireless communication networks" and running fat dedicated fibre links into the firm's Remote Operations Centre in Perth.
He acknowledged that establishing the communications systems to facilitate digital mining was "not easy".
"We see that as being one of the challenges going forward," he said.
"We spend an awful lot of time on communications. We're comfortable where we are".
Communications investments on Australian liquefied natural gas projects also point to a future in the oil and gas industry that is shaped by digital innovation.
The Gladstone LNG project, Chevron's Wheatstone and Shell's Prelude projects are among those to start fitting out operations with state-of-the-art communications systems.
Read on to see how digital technology is emerging in the resources sector.
Though mining companies are often reticent to discuss IT projects that positively impact operations — for fear of giving away any competitive advantage those projects might yield — it appears some are happy to share their digital advances with the broader mining IT community.
SAP operates a closed industry group that it uses to drive "co-innovation" around its product set.
"Those kind of workgroups can really be coffee forums or really roll-up-your-sleeves-and-work forums, and we have the latter," Stone said.
"They really hold us accountable to deliver good products and to push the state of the art forward.
"We made the request I think as far back as 2009 that we wanted to have a much closer working model with this group of companies.
"They agreed, and since then we've gone into their operating environments with our product designers and research teams on a near yearly basis to watch how their people are working and to very neatly understand their processes and needs so we can design [our] products differently."
Miners in the group participated with "a very clear understanding and agreement upfront" that capabilities developed under the co-innovation framework will eventually "be available for the entire industry".
"The co-innovation impact on our roadmap is huge," Stone said.
"I'd go so far as to say our roadmap is fundamentally created by the co-innovation activity. It's really that customer pull that's driving us right now."
Stone cites the 'Safety Issue' iOS app as an example of the results of co-innovation.
The free app plugs into a customer's SAP Environment, Health and Safety Management (EHS) system. It allows miners in the pit to use an iPhone to make a "safety observation" in pictures, video or audio and submit that to a safety manager.
"We have customers that have said that they need to be to have their workers enter safety observations in the context of their work," Stone said.
"They can't even leave the context of their work for even five minutes to walk to a kiosk or terminal or go get a form to fill out for a safety observation or near miss, so we created a mobile application [where] you can capture a safety observation in as little as 15 seconds and four taps of your thumb."
Stone said another co-innovation product in development will enable an oil & gas firm to "visualise incidents and near misses" on a "visual representation of the rig".
"We're still in the client-specific side on the visualisation," he said. "Once it's seen as fit for purpose by one customer, it's adopted by many in a rather rapid fashion."
iTnews reported earlier this week that Sydney software house Chocolate Coded is driving augmented reality into mine sites, opening up another front in the drive to mobile, digital systems.
MMG's Peter McLure saw mobile technology as a frontier in the transition to the digital mine.
"There's an opportunity to work with data coming directly out of the [mine] systems," he said.
"I think there are always things IT can do that clearly have payoffs, and step along the way to this digital future.
"We just have to grasp where [these leverage points] are and start working on them."

Germany Aren't Very German, But They Are Still Amazing Anyway
Billy Haisley
Filed to: world cup previewFiled to: world cup preview
world cup preview
National identities in soccer are real. Mostly they emerge from the styles of play and the youth coaching methods that predominate in any given country's soccer setup, and the values those styles and methods reflect. There is a reason why Brazil are almost always led by graceful and expressive attackers, and why England are always full of energetic workman who love long sprints and hard tackles, and why Spain have what seems like an endless supply of tiny imps who flit about on the ball for 90 minutes, and so on. Germany have one of the most recognizable national identities. And yet we seem to be witnessing the slow de-Germanification of the German national team.
The quintessential German team is one with lots of big, strong players who are good technicians and great athletes and it's the athleticism that you're really going to feel when going up against them because they're going to run you the fuck over. Germany are power and pace and smart, simple tactics that methodically and efficiently grind opponents into dust like one of those industrial shredders that eat trash and trees and cars and whatever gets fed into its maw. This collection of highlights from an unspecified match of the early 70s Germany is a good depiction of Germany's destructive quality when the country is at its most pure:
The classic German team can play more or less attacking or defensive, more or less possession- or counterattack-focused, but the bedrock of direct, physically dominant play is always there. Recall the way Bayern Munich crushed Barcelona in the Champions League semifinals in 2013 and you'll know what uncut German soccer looks like.
Now, while the German team under manager Joachim Löw has been one of the best German teams ever, they are decidedly not very German. Löw's Germany play much more like a Spanish team than a German one. The deity Löw's Germany live to serve is the Possession God. They are all about keeping hold of the ball for as long as possible, cramming the team with as many playmaker types as possible, always looking at opposing defenses as locks to be picked rather than smashed.
You could tell in the makeup of the roster how little interest Löw has in making Germany play like a traditional German team. Take his most controversial decision in the lead-in to the World Cup: leaving Manchester City winger Leroy Sané out of the squad. The qualities Sané brings to a team are many of the qualities of a prototypical German winger. He is impossibly fast, super strong, is a monster when running at defenders with open space in front of him, and has a rocket of a shot on him. Sané had a great season this year, and under many managers he would probably be a starter for Germany.
Instead of building his team around a star talent like Sané, Löw left him at home. In Sané's place as probably the last attacker to get into the team is Julian Draxler. Draxler is a good talent, a quick and tricky attacking midfielder with strong creative skills and great dribbling. But he's nowhere near as good in an objective sense as Sané. Why take Draxler over Sané, then, when the one watching these games from home is so obviously better than the one who's there with the team? Because Draxler gives Löw the playmaking and possession security his team is built upon. Draxler is more Spanish in style than Sané, and that's exactly what Löw is looking for.
This seems like a good time to point out that Germany's transformation has unquestionably been a good thing. The success speaks for itself. Under Löw's guidance, Germany won the last World Cup, made the semifinal of the one before that, got to the semis of both of the last two Euros, and come into this World Cup as one of the big favorites to win. When so many opponents in international tournaments try to sit deep, defend, and hit out on counters, it makes all the sense in the world to combat that with an attacking style that specializes in breaking down deep defenses and neutering counters by making sure they don't start in the first place.
Löw's choice to make an un-German German team isn't an abandonment of German tradition or anything like that. Rather, it's a savvy adaptation to the current reality. Both of Löw's first two international tournaments in charge of Germany ended in defeat to the ascendent, quintessentially Spanish Spaniards: first in the final of Euro 2008, then in the semis of the 2010 World Cup. "Spain are a wonderful team," Löw said after that loss in 2010. "They are the masters of the game. You can see it in every pass. They can hardly be beaten." Germany learned from those defeats and Spain's run atop the international game, and now, with German players playing in a Spanish style, they've assembled something as strong or maybe even better than what Spain have. Every national team should be so wise and unsentimental when knowing when to deviate from tradition. Sometimes it takes a little deviation to become the best.
Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich), Kevin Trapp (Paris Saint-Germain), Marc-André ter Stegen (Barcelona)
Defenders: Marvin Plattenhardt (Hertha Berlin), Jonas Hector (Cologne), Matthias Ginter (Borussia Mönchengladbach), Mats Hummels (Bayern Munich), Niklas Süle (Bayern Munich), Antonio Rüdiger (Chelsea), Jérôme Boateng (Bayern Munich), Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich)
Midfielders: Sami Khedira (Juventus), Julian Draxler (Paris Saint-Germain), Toni Kroos (Real Madrid), Mesut Özil (Arsenal), Leon Goretzka (Schalke), Sebastian Rudy (Bayern Munich), Julian Brandt (Bayer Leverkusen), İlkay Gündoğan (Manchester City)
Forwards: Timo Werner (RB Leipzig), Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund), Thomas Müller (Bayern Munich), Mario Gómez (Stuttgart)
Die Mannschaft (The Team)
Even though we're currently in an era of possession obsession, and even though the players that best embody the possession game are the Xavi-esque controlling midfielders, there's a distinct paucity of those kinds of midfielders in the game today. It's telling that the very team that kicked off the possession craze, Barcelona, themselves haven't been able to find a new one since Xavi left. And yet there is still one true midfield maestro orchestrating beautiful symphonies for club and country, and his name is Toni Kroos.
Kroos is a true master of passing. He can pass quick and short and he can pass long, low, and hard. He can pass backwards, forwards, sideways, from in front of his defense and from between the lines of the opposing team. He can hit them with his right foot and his left, be they through balls or cross fielders or anything in between, and all with pin-point accuracy. Crucially, Kroos knows exactly when to play exactly which kind of pass in every scenario. The key to being a great controlling midfielder is knowing what kind of pass any given moment calls for, having the feel for when the opposing defense is vulnerable and so a raking pass out to the wing onto the strong foot of an onrushing winger is the smart play or when the charging run in behind should be ignored in favor of sliding the ball back to a center back to slow down things down.
The subtlety of Kroos's play doesn't lend itself to highlight reels. Unless you're watching an actual match, you can't feel Kroos's influence in quite the same way. However, it is hypnotic to watch Kroos hit perfect pass after perfect pass, so the highlight reel above will have to suffice until Germany start playing this summer. Once the real games start, you'll get to see the man's work the way it's best appreciated.
Reus is the most electric German player of his generation. That's saying something when it's been Reus's peers that have made Germany the World Cup-winning juggernaut they are today. However, while Germany have been out making all this history, Reus has been forced to sit on the sidelines during the biggest moments due to a couple agonizingly timed injuries. He missed the 2014 World Cup by getting hurt in a friendly right before the tournament was set to start, and a couple years later he missed the Euro 2016 in which his teammates got to the semis. Reus is exactly the kind of player Germany have missed during their run in international play, and it's sucked that such a great player hasn't been able to showcase his talents on the biggest stages.
Until now, that is. Reus only returned from yet another long-term injury a few months ago, but in that short amount of time he already cemented a spot for himself in one of the most talent-loaded national teams in the world. That's because Reus is a terror on the pitch. He is (or maybe was?) blisteringly fast, so adept at sprinting with the ball at his feet and keeping control of it even with multiple defenders bearing down on him. He's an expert goalscorer from wide positions, armed with a ghost's ability to sneak past bodies and a piledriver of a shot when he gets anywhere near the penalty area. He's an explosive player in every phase of the game, and it's explosion and goals that Germany need to add the cutting edge to their pretty possessions. After all, a Toni Kroos stroking gorgeous passes around is only effective if there's a Marco Reus on the end of the passes turning them into goals.
How They Play
You're not going to believe this, but Germany play a lot like Spain. Specifically, they are ball-hogs. Germany's philosophy is all about getting on the ball, passing it around until their teammates are all in good position to attack, and then passing it around some more, patiently waiting for the defense to show its throat so Germany can strike.
And while Germany's overarching philosophy is Spanish in nature, they still have enough traditional German-ness in them to spice things up. Timo Werner and Thomas Müller are versatile players who are good on the ball, but they combine those skills with the strength and cussed determination of all great German goalscorers. Their defense is great and has a great mutual understanding since three of the four starters all play together at Bayern Munich. Their attack is amazing per usual, with lots of players who excel at keeping the ball and eventually getting it into the net.
If there is one potential weakness, it's in the center of midfield. Not in terms of its possession and creative duties, since Toni Kroos and Mesut Özil are two of the very best passers in the world. The concern is more about Kroos's parter in Germany's 4-2-3-1 double pivot. It'll probably be Sami Khedira starting alongside Kroos, and Khedira is no longer the player he once was. Khedira is a box-to-box player whose work-rate is still as high as it used to be but at 31 years of age, he no longer has the athleticism and stamina that used to cover for his technical shortcomings. That's pretty much a nitpick though, as Germany more than most teams have what they want to do and how they want to do it locked in.

Q: Simple video editing in azure/.net I have azure-backed mobile app that allows users to upload videos and then streams them. Current task is to add some overlay to the videos. As long as videos can be downloaded by the users the only option is editing video file itself.
What is the easiest way to implement this (I do not have much azure experience)?
A: It depends on what you are trying to achieve. Azure Media Services will support advert insertion into video content - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dn387398.aspx.
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for though. It's important to remember that at present Media Services is an ingestion, storage, encoding and serving platform for video media - it's not intended as a full video production workflow platform.

Q: How to compile javadoc from sources in simplest way? Suppose I have project directory MyProject, under which I have src directory with sources of the program.
I want to compile all javadocs from there. What is the simplest command to issue?
If I run
javadoc -sourcepath ./src -d ./docs
I get an error
javadoc: error - No packages or classes specified.
Can't it deduce packages from source files?
EDIT 1
This way also causes an error
...MyProject>javadoc -sourcepath ./src *.java -d ./docs
Creating destination directory: "./docs\"
javadoc: error - File not found: "*.java"
1 error
A: try using javadoc -sourcepath ./src *.java -d ./docs
A: The lazy way is to use Eclipse : Project --> GenerateJavadoc and choose the package/project you want to document.
A: The following worked for me
javadoc -sourcepath ./src -d ./docs -subpackages .
A: The man page says it will only explicitly document packages that it is given. There is an option called subpackages that recursively documents the given package and all it subpackages, but you must still specify all base packages.
eg.
javadoc -d /home/html -sourcepath /home/src -subpackages java -exclude java.net:java.lang
http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/javadoc/
A: In linux, it worked for me when I did the following
javadoc -d docs/ $(find . -name *.java)
I hope this helps
A: For me also the following worked:
javadoc -sourcepath ./src **/*.java -d ./docs

Otherwise known as Wat Chetuphon, this can be a temple which had been built for King Rama in Bangkok hundreds of yrs ago. It really is regarded as a location where people can receive feelings, and was considered one of the primary pharmacies in all of the of Bangkok. It is also the positioning of the first university which had been started by a descendent of King Rama, a location where you could now get not just traditional medicine but a foot massage at highly affordable prices. It is actually known mostly for that Temple of the Reclining Buddha and that is a Buddha that is certainly resting perched on his arm.

It can be here the emerald or jade Buddha are available, in this palace integrated 1782, the residence from the royalty that were responsible for the nation during the time. This palace includes 2 hours of not only the palace itself but the Wat Phra Kaew Tour. Our recommendation is that you start early in the morning to make the most of everything that you may be capable of seeing, or simply just perform a half day sightseeing tour to view either one.
You will see a lovely representation from the ancient battles that used to occur between Burma and Siam. This is certainly a combination of Royal Palace and Chapel, and if you are able to climb to the very top right before sunset, you will observe the sun setting in to the Chao Praya River, an attractive sight to behold.

It can be considered by some being the Venice from the East, much like exactly how the people that element of Italy do this several things on the water. It is additionally a tourist trap because of how people are wanting to check this out market that is completely floating on boats manned by people selling their goods.

For those who have time, you may pay a visit to Lumpini Park which is a literal oasis in the middle of the architecture and buildings of Bangkok. There are several lawns you could spend time at, Chinese pagodas, and there exists a small lake that you could take a boat on. Is good for relaxing because the park is indeed tranquil, despite all of the skyscrapers that are surrounding it in all directions. The park is a place where antigovernment protests have occurred, so just make sure that when you choose to look there, it's just people hanging out to relax. | {

If you missed it on Monday, read my post on How to Gift Your Firm with More Referrals in 2017.
When it comes to the different kind of leads that attorneys can generate for new business, referrals are the gold standard. They come to you pre-qualified and ready to "buy" from a source they trust – and with a trust transference to you that is built-in.
If you do nothing else with your law firm marketing next year, make a resolution to cultivate more referrals. Cultivating referrals is low-cost and high-reward, and should be at the top of your list when it comes to new business development for your law firm.
Categorize – there are two categories of referrals for attorneys: current clients and strategic partners. Comb through your client list and identify those clients who already refer, those most likely to refer (happy with your services) and those who will need some special attention to become a good referral source. To develop a list of potential strategic partners, examine that client list again and see if you can find some commonality among other professional service providers that your clients also utilize – other attorneys, accountants, CPAs, business coaches, etc.
Educate – your referral sources will likely need to be educated about the kind of referrals you are seeking. Teach them about who your ideal client is so they won't waste their time and yours referring potential clients that are not a good fit for you.
Motivate – look for ways to incentivize and reward your referral sources for sending you potential clients. Maybe it's a free consultation or a gift card to a favored store. Be creative about it.
Follow Through – one of the worst things you can do is not follow through with potential clients who are referred to you. This will dry up your referral pipeline faster than anything. Let your referral sources know how you plan to follow up with the people they are referring and then do it. Keep your sources up to date periodically on the new relationship and be sure to thank them again.
This new free report by national law firm marketing expert Stephen Fairley can get you started with building a robust referral network for your law firm!

The prince and the shoe girl
By Laura Fowler
Marilyn Monroe's high heels to go on show in Florence
As My Life With Marilyn hits the big screen, Salvatore Ferragamo announces a show of the iconic blonde's shoes.
The Italian shoemaker designed more than 40 pairs for Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s. Now the starlet's shoes have been bought by the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo, in Florence, and will go on show next year, settling the question of whether she really did have half an inch cut off one heel to give her that signature sashay.
The exhibition will feature all Monroe's size 7AAs (5-6 in UK sizes) made by Ferragamo, including these red crystal 'Marilyn' pumps (pictured) and the stilettos she wore in Seven Year Itch, paired with that white dress in perhaps the most famous movie still of all time. As well as footwear, the exhibition will include costumes, history and works of art of the actress, and runs from June 2012 until January 2013.
Museo Salvatore Ferragamo, Palazzo Spini Feroni, Piazza Santa Trinita, Florence (00 39 055 3360 456; www.museoferragamo.it)

The patch is available via Steam and is said to solve numerous problems for dual and quad core systems as well as several graphics card problems and server setup to reduce lag.
The note for the patch and what it covers is below.
- GameServers.com continues to improve official server distribution in various worldwide regions.
- GPU hitching on certain graphics cards.
- Incomplete server browser results.
- Improvements to Quickmatch joins (results with better ping and reduced lag).
- Zombies "The game session is no longer available" error.
Well, it's a start. There is no word on a patch for the problems that have been reported on the Playstation 3. | {

Dartmouth, Canada
Long beach near Dartmouth
Well all good things come to an end and we were coming to the end of our sojourn. Our last day started early again at 6am before a lovely breakfast to set us up for the day. We were joined at the table by a pleasant couple (and ultimately their 14 year old son); wife born locally, husband originally British they were currently living in Toronto and on a househunting trip looking to live in NS. They may have some problems as their son didn't share their dream of a less cosmopolitan lifestyle.
the Quaker House
We had some time before our flight so took a leisurely drive along the coast to Dartmouth. We wanted to visit the Quaker house - a fine example of how people lived in early Dartmouth. And we thought we may be able to pick up some last minute souvenirs. The Quaker house was staffed by 'interpreters' in period dress and a tour of the house was given by an interpreter who explained the history of the place as we travelled through its rooms. Once again, you couldn't help but admire the stoicism of those early folk though it struck me again that we look at their conditions through modern eyes and we are generally much more pampered and less tough than they were, so trying to understand and look at their world is rather like looking through the wrong end of a telescope. The whaler's wives would frequently wave goodbye to their husband and if they came back it would not be less than 3 month's later and was often 3 years. Whale oil was the wonder fuel of the age, very valuable but dangerous to harvest, as any reader of Moby Dick will understand.
Leaving the Quaker House, we trawled a few streets to see if we could find where the shops were. There didn't appear to be much at all in the way of a commercial centre such as we know it and we came to the conclusion that anyone who wanted to shop took the ferry to Halifax.
We discovered Dartmouth's secret on the way out - a huge new shopping centre built at Dartmouth crossing. I am sure locals have no problem negotiating the intracacies of the motorways intersecting here but it seemed to me a bit like a Telford town centre constructed between and around Gravelly Hill superimposed on the M5/M6 link at Jn 8. Thank goodness for TomTom. The shopping centre was a disappointment for us, being intended for serious shopping with boutique stores, clothes and shoe shops and all the other appurtenences of a town centre apart from a souvenir shop. But we did find a nice place for lunch so it wasn't a total waste of time.
And so to the airport. Car checked in and accepted, luggage checked in and accepted, then the queue for security clearance. Just for once, I happened to have the passports and boarding passes with Sue immediately in front of me. There was a female guard directing traffic to the desks processing x-ray & metal detectors etc. To say that this creature had had a charisma bypass would be rather like saying that Ghenghis Khan was a bit grumpy. Her communication skills had been honed to a point as sharp as the front of a London Transport double decker. She successfully seperated us by directing Sue to 'step on the mat' in front of her while her highly trained sensors located an appropriate place to send her. She mumbled to Sue 'go down there' and pointed somewhere vauguely in the direction of several desks. Despite not hearing because of her hearing loss, Sue gathered what was required and pointed out that she needed her boarding pass and I had it. The exasperated harridan muttered something that neither of us could catch; I thought she now wanted me to step onto the mat and moved forward to be told - 'NO', so I moved back obediently. (Never tangle with a Border Guard). She had successfully managed to confuse both Sue and me, which may well mark completion of page 5 of the border guards operation manual. 'Both of you go down there' she finally clarified at raised volume and slowed speech so that we imbeciles might finally grasp what was required of us. Still somewhat confused we got to a desk where we were duly welcomed.
After a good flight, we approached Toronto over the islands. On landing we collected our bags and started the whole process all over again but compared with Halifax, it was a doddle. We just had time to grab a snack of nachos with beef and jalapenos with a pint before the cafe closed then settled down with our kindles for a couple of hours before our flight to Manchester.
We managed to grab some fitful sleep on the flight then stayed up 'till about 10 before going to bed. Jet lag was quite bearable this time so perhaps the plan worked!

Musquodoboit Harbour, Canada
Sherbrook heritage village
Up and off for a great breakfast of French Toast and Sausages with Maple Syrup and coffee in the café on the opposite side of the river bank from the B&B, a stones throw away from Sherbrooke Village Museum. Yes, part of the village is now a museum. For those who know Shropshire, think Blists Hill Museum only several of the houses here are still privately owned and two still permanently occupied! Apparently when it was decided to preserve all these old buildings the government decided to turn it into a living museum and employ people to carry on ancient crafts such as smithing, printing and wood turning. Villagers in this part of town were permitted to remain in their houses, which would be maintained by the government until they either died or moved away. At this point the building and the land would no longer belong to them or their heirs. There are twenty five houses and shops which are furnished as they would have been around the 1860s.
We spent a good chunk of time from our three hours on the site in the Blacksmiths watching him make intricate hooks. He makes and repairs all the metal fixtures and fittings within the village, supplies items to sell in the gift shop and runs workshops for school children to get 'hands on' experience of this craft.
Village street prior to tarmac
We worked our way around the Post Office, Print Shop, General Store, Wood Turners, Telephone Exchange and School Room. As we knew we needed to leave around lunch time and that the villages en route were few and far between, we headed for the Tea Rooms. Oops – big sign outside saying 'Sorry Folks, we're full. A large pre-booked coach party has booked from noon. Please come back at 1.00pm.' Oh well, there's bound to be something on our way to Jeddore Oyster Pound. An hour and a half later we arrived at Sheet Harbour. Hurray, a Pub/Restaurant!!!
So lunch was late. Not too far from Jeddore now. We pulled in to the Fisherman's Museum – sign said 'closed'. Not according to the advert in the 2012 tourist guide. Well at least it was on our route and we hadn't driven for miles to get there! Closed seemed a bit of a pattern on the East shore from Guysborough. We had passed several restaurants/cafés which were no longer open and becoming derelict. Houses too with many up for sale. About 40kms from Halifax there were suddenly other cars on the roads and shops and filling stations.
Bottom of the garden, Elephant's nest
Our B&B is lovely, right on the waterfront with its own little beach and deck jutting into the harbour. However, rearranging our luggage to meet weight restrictions for our flight was top on the agenda.
According to our hosts at 'The Elephant's Nest' in Musquodobit Harbour, the pub/restaurant where we stopped is the nearest east of here. There are a few local eateries not more than a few kilometres west, or the next best place would be in Dartmouth. As we plan to go there tomorrow we went to a nice little 'pub' a few kms west.
What can I say?
Rick had scallops and chip and I had clams and chips. I thought I should give them a try. They reminded me of experiences eating snails- rubbery texture just salty! We had tasted them in our Chowder at Halifax obviously the other fish ingredients pepped the clams up..

Bouncing along the east coast
Sherbrooke, Canada
Up at 6 and quietly finished the blog and read until 7. Down to breakfast at 8 with a lovely couple who emigrated from Germany 6 years ago to get a better quality of life. They are thoroughly settled and enjoying the move; Martine spoke some English before they left with a sister and cousin settled in England but Carl has had to learn from scratch. It seemed he had done a pretty good job; I'm not sure that I could have done that. Also at the table were a mother from Seattle and daughter from LA.
Fortress Louisbourg from other shore
We first drove down to the quay to see the harbour and fortress in the distance across the harbour, then down to the site of the oldest lighthouse in N America, now replaced with a modern beast. It gives an idea of how difficult it is to approach from the sea. The other side of that is it was easy to blockade by the British Navy with control of the seas. Wolfe landed further down the coast and cut off the garrison so they surrendered after 7 weeks.
After some debate as to the best route to take to Sherbrooke, we decided to go up to Sydney then along the Bras d'Or lakes to St Peter's canal then cross over the Canso causeway back into NS proper before heading south to Guysborough and along the South Coast itself.
Bras d'or lake
The trip along the huge expanse of the Bras d'Or lakes gave us many photo opportunities with some lovely lakeside communities and properties with stunning views. There were a number of stop offs from which to get a good perspective of the scene but no camera can capture adequately the majesty of the outlook.
Fishing boat off to work
Our first stop at St Peter's canal was very rewarding. The 800 metre long canal was dug to provide a sea access at both ends of the Bras d'Or lakes. There is a swing bridge at the northern end and a lock at the Southern end. The lock is unusual in that it has double facing lock gates so that it can cope with operating in 2 directions, whichever direction has the higher water level.
Apparently, the tidal range here is not too high at around a few feet. We saw a few boats go through and a yacht which meant the swing bridge had to be operated. There is no charge for the boats during normal operating hours so Parks Canada obviously picks up the bill for operation and maintenance. One of the boats was a fishing boat with long booms for his nets, presumably off for the cod and haddock.
Poor road on east coastal drive
After a quick lunch in St Peter's we were off and across the causeway to mainland NS. The trip along the south coast here was not only scenic but it is relatively untravelled and the roads are not as well maintained as others. Just after Guysborough, TomTom suggested we take a right turn down a gravel track but having fallen for that before we drove on – somewhat uncertainly – in the hope that the relatively poor map we had would take us in the direction we wanted. We were right and ultimately TomTom relented and gave us the route we wanted but not before an extended period of self-doubt. It was worth the effort; the views of the area uncluttered by the paraphernalia of tourism were wonderful.
Memorial to original discoverer of N America
At one pull off, we discovered a monument to Prince Henry of Orkney who may have discovered America at this point in Chedabucto Bay in 1398, some 100 years before Cabot. As we went past the driveway of a house, I had to do a double take – it couldn't be – but it was – a bald eagle getting stuck in to a meal.
Bald eagle at lunch
An about turn and some minutes later we were sitting in the car not 15 feet from this huge bird who was totally unconcerned as long as we left him alone with his meal. We watched for a few minutes and videoed him/her I wouldn't know how to start sexing a bald eagle, even if it would be a good idea to try.
Canadians learn roadworks from UK team
After about an hour and a half or so of being tossed about on the road in a manner worthy of a rodeo rider on a bronco, we got to calmer surfaces on our approach to Sherbrooke. On arrival, a rather stern matron enquired – 'Name?'. As this was about 6 and we must have been the last of the guests she was expecting tonight this seemed a bit odd but she seemed satisfied with my answer. 'Fill in this card with your name and address' – well she had those details when we booked but I didn't think she would appreciate me mentioning that. 'I think you have booked the chalet' – well I thought so too, so we were on a roll now.
'The chalet is over there, you can park by it' pointing to a small house about 50 metres back down the road. We were dismissed – Sue asked about breakfast; 'Oh, the chalet is self-catering – if you want breakfast, you can get it in the cafe in town, over the bridge.' All the charisma of a porcupine on steroids; thank goodness we weren't staying in the house on a B&B basis. We got directions to a local inn for an evening meal only 5 minutes walk away and it was very pleasant and unpretentious with good service from a friendly waitress.
When we got back, the porcupine was mowing her lawn with her tractor. I switched on the laptop and tried to connect to the internet – only 2 in range and neither of them worked with the code that had been given on a card by the TV. I noticed she was emptying her grassbox near the chalet so tentatively went over and said 'excuse me' no response – again, louder. She looked up and removed an earplug, though it may have just been earwax. 'Which of Mabel or Sherbrooke 2 is the wifi to connect to?' I asked. Puzzled or slightly irritated or possibly both, she said 'neither – it is 'days ago'' – then helpfully offered 'the signal may be a bit weak in the chalet – by all means use the sun porch in the house.' Weak, WEAK it was non-existent and never would be anything else if it is based on a house 50 metres away; I don't think anyone should be allowed to advertise wifi unless there is 60% signal strength at the location stated!
The chalet itself is very nicely finished with the bedroom upstairs on a gallery. I don't think we shall have much problem waking early tomorrow as the window in the upper wall opposite the gallery looking towards the river has no curtain.

Up Hills and down Dales
Baddeck, Canada
We had three other couples around the table for breakfast this morning. All in 50's or older; a woman from Toronto – a lot have been, so it must be empty – a couple from Saskatoon, a couple from Niagara on the lake (presumably escaping tourists) and a bloke from Denmark who was in some way that we were unable to grasp, attached to the woman from Toronto. A pretty affable lot who came up with the original idea that we were escaping the congestion caused by the olympics. No one has yet worked out that in the 3 weeks we have been here, some one else may have suggested that before but we tried to answer it as though it was the first time!
Igonish to Baddeck
A grey, dank start to the day but still quite warm, we settled up with Gill who had moved here from California with her two donkeys, after falling in love with it while on holiday. On the road back to Mabou and then North towards the start of the Cabot Trail at Chéticamp. It soon started raining, not heavily just a steady drizzle which limited the visibility somewhat. We reached the coast at Inverness and then ran just inland until we reached the coast again at Chimney Corner. There were glimpses of a lovely coastline and a road stretching out ahead largely deserted thankfully, probably due to the weather. The rain had by now largely disappeared and the sun was making a watery appearance but just didn't manage to quite burn off the mist.
Just before Chéticamp, we stopped at Flora's gift shop – a real Aladdin's cave of a place where Sue watched someone hooking a mat. She must have enjoyed the work – she said they took her about 4 hours each and we noted that they sold for $10. Chéticamp itself is an interesting mix of new tourism based building and old fishing based building. Apparently, still a bastion of Acadian culture which is not surprising, given that there was no road link until 1949.
Back on the road again we stopped briefly at the information centre waiting interminably behind an indecisive couple booking accommodation with a park ranger before baling out on discovery that we could buy our park permits from a roadside booth just up the road.
From Chéticamp, the road dives inland briefly to cross the river before hugging the coast giving some spectacular sights. We had had some conflicting advice about whether to drive the route clockwise or anti-clockwise. Most of the pull-offs (and they are plentiful) are on the seaward side of the road, so in busy times it could be a problem accessing them but today this was not a problem with our clockwise transit.
Cabot Trail
Much of the route is carved through pine forest, sometimes broken with interesting rock formations. On the higher parts you can see over an unbroken wilderness of trees and on the parts running along the coast itself, you get to see bays and inlets, coves and beaches hills and cliffs in an undulating and continuous procession of pristine wilderness. The road misses out the apex of the island and runs pretty well straight across to the opposite coast.
Here we met a low cloud base at times on the undulating route through the forests, limiting visibility at to 10's of yards. From this point on we had drizzle for the rest of the route. On hitting the east side of the island, we turned north and drove up a gravel track to a fishing village neatly tucked away in a natural harbour with a tiny entrance from the sea. I would not like to try taking a boat through that when there is a heavy swell!
Cabot Memorial
half-way back down the track, we stopped off at a place where Cabot is purported to have made his first landfall and established Britain's claim to the Americas. There is a monument to him and his son Sebastian, apparently born in Bristol.
The weather didn't allow much viewing of the scenery on the eastern coast, although we did get some marvellous sights. At one of these a young ranger was braving the elements in her weatherproofs and explaining to passers by about the creatures to be seen near there. Couldn't help but think that Parks Canada might have come up with a gazebo or something as a little shelter for her. We had a nice chat with her about natural history as well as discovering that she would like to visit UK to see lots of castles.
Finally in to Baddeck at around 5 feeling ravenous not having stopped for lunch. We found a nice looking restaurant by the waterfront. The table we were first directed to had an air conditioning fan blasting away at foot level, so we moved further away from the window. For the first time since leaving the UK we felt cold so put on our fleeces and I tucked in to a nice French onion soup, followed by chicken in cajun sauce; Sue had garlic bread followed by chicken in a mango sauce. They were nice meals and just what the doctor ordered. I washed mine down with a nice Rickards Red while Sue thanked Dave for introducing her to Corona.
Our stop for the night was at the Auld Farm Inn, run by a Scottish husband and wife team who bought it in 2009. A lovely place but our room a bit on the small side.

Louisbourg, Canada
Rick has a cunning plan. We go to bed at 10pm and make sure we are awake at 6am for the next few days. This way he is wondering if we will feel less jet lagged when we get home on Friday.
I eventually staggered into consciousness about 6.15 am. Rick started writing the blog and I studied the map- so many different ways to go round the Bras D'Or Lakes to get to Louisbourg on the North East coast just south of Sydney.
We heard quite a racket on the deck just below our room and Rick reported several Blue Jays in dispute. It was impossible to move around the room without all the floor boards creaking (yes, they were ten times worse than at home) so I took his word for it.
As we prepared to leave 'The Auld Farm' a large number of hummingbirds swooped down to the nectar feeders just outside the lounge windows. It was fascinating to watch them. We were so close we could even see their tongues lapping up the syrup as they hovered, their little wings beating so fast and their tail feathers pulled in acting as brakes. They weren't as colourful as the ones we had seen at Kris and Dave's in Ontario but amazing to see.
More rain this morning and forecast to be on and off all day, so we decided to spend some time at the Alexander Graham Bell Museum run by Parks Canada before taking the most direct route to Louisbourg.. We could have spent more than two hours here. What an amazing man. So much more achieved than the invention of the telephone. Many of the theories of his inventions were tried, tested and developed at Baddeck, where he and his family had a summer home near the lake's edge. Quite where the house is we couldn't work out for the centre and grounds are modern.
Entry to Louisbourg
An hour and a half on the road brought us to Louisbourg and the entrance to the reconstructed fortress which is about two miles from the town. You are transported from the entrance with its small museum by bus. They run every fifteen minutes (you're not permitted to walk the mile long road to the fortress).
A prosperous fisherman & his wife
We had three hours to explore this amazing reconstruction of this former stronghold before closing time but could have spent more. The whole area has been rebuilt as it would have been in 1744 before we dastardly Brits got fed up with repeatedly deporting the inhabitants who kept insisting on coming back and razed it to the ground in 1768! The rooms in the houses that are completely finished are furnished and arranged as they would have been at that time and there are costumed actors to tell you about their life there. At 5pm, having watched the ceremonial firing of the cannon from the ramparts out to sea, we were bussed back to the park entrance.
A short drive back to the town and we checked in to the Stacey House B&B before heading for the nearby 'Grubstake' restaurant. Unfortunately we arrived just after the world and his wife so it was a long wait for service, much apologised for by our waitress. It was well worth it though.
Birthday meal
I raised my glass to the birthday boy who was tucking in to crab cakes with cajun mayonnaise, followed by sirloin steak. I had smoked salmon on brochetta with cream cheese and fillet steak. Replete and tired we headed back to our lovely B&B for day two of the experiment to counter jet lag.

Wine and Whisky
Mabou, Canada
Jubilee Inn
Well it's true to say that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I'd noticed that there was a plaque from the Nova Scotian tourist board in the hall when we arrived for culinary services to the island and when we looked through the room folder we found that they operated a restaurant, though it wasn't clear whether this was just for guests. We were tired and thought we would give it a whirl. Our hostess, who wasn't around when we registered, asked us if we had booked. As we hadn't, she wondered if we would be ok without the four course menu and did we eat pork? She could prepare more vegetables and do us a stir fry in 45 minutes time. This was fine by us as even two courses can be challenging with the generous portions that are offered over here. The dining room was immaculate with white linen table cloths and pretty tea lights flickering on each table. Would we like to pop out to the local off licence or,if we had brought some wine with us we were welcome to use it. Rick hopped upstairs to collect the blackberry wine we had bought in Lunenburg. It was surprisingly a great accompaniment to the amazing food. We were brought a large serving platter with a bowl of rice flanked with tender pork, stir fry vegetables and king prawns in a light but flavoursome sauce. Would we like a dessert. There was Tiramasu or Pavlova – again wonderful.
What would breakfast bring? A huge platter of eggs, bacon, toast, fruit, muffins and fruit bread washed down with as much tea or coffee as we could drink. An interesting chat with our host and hostess a lovely couple. He was Nova Scotian by birth. They had met in Toronto while she was studying and had gone to Australia to join several members of her Chinese family who had already settled there. They were in Brisbane for some time returning eight years ago to be with his side of the family once her mum and dad were no longer alive.
On the road to Jost winery a short drive away. Purchase made and another brief drive to Tatamagouche Farmers Market, recommended by our hosts last night. By the time we got back to the car it was beginning to rain. As we drove on the Trans Canada Highway past Pictou along the coast towards Canso Causeway the rain steadily increased. We stopped off at the Tourist Office to pick up a detailed map having crossed to Cape Breton and headed on for another half hour to the Celtic Interpretive Centre at Judique, which we had been told was the first eatery on our route. Well heaven help them if they ever have a full house as they found it difficult to cope with ten of us in there. A half an hour after arrival we were presented with our snack. The first place this holiday where the waitress only got a 10% tip! The rain had stopped and the mists disappeared and we began to fully appreciate the beauty of this place.
Glenora Distillery
We reached the Distillery at Glenora at 3.55pm just in time for the last tour of the day! The 1st single malt distillery in N America and only one in Canada. In operation from 1990 the location was specially chosen, using the sweet, clear and untainted waters of the stream which flows through its heart.
Distillation flasks, Glenora Distillery
A walk through the fermenting and processing rooms ended with 2 samples for Rick (yours truly being the driver). Not much of a hardship as I'm not a whisky fan. If it had been cognac we might have had to toss for it!
A short drive to the Inn at Glendyer. A note pinned on the door – 'come on in. I've gone for supper at the Red Shoe Pub. You're in room 1. Make yourselves at home.
Red Shoe Pub
Well what more of a recommendation could you have. We had passed the pub on our way to the distillery and had, in fact, been recommended it by our host at Murray Harbour on PEI. Great place. Good food and, according to Rick, a good beer too! The music, to be performed by one of the Rankin family (the sisters own the pub), wasn't due to start until 10pm. With a long drive on the Cabot trail in the morning we decided to call it a day and sample the Rankins on Google. The CD might be waiting for us when we get home courtesy of Amazon!

Canadian Tyre at last
Wallace, Canada
Last few hours on PEI. Specifically Charlottetown with a compact, historic centre that has been largely well cared for and unspoiled with modern shopping centres in the suburbs. Strangely, there appeared to be no conflict unlike Summerside. A small city currently of about 60,000 – similar to Shrewsbury. I have no idea what the population was in 1864 but my favourite story about the Charlottetown Conference is that the circus was in town that week and as the Canadian delegates had invited themselves, there was insufficient lodging in town because the Maritime delegates and the circus had already booked it all so they had to stay each night on the ship that brought them. It seems that play was just as important as work because after each days hot air, there was a banquet & dancing to the small hours! Politicians seem to have changed little.
One of the major concerns I had for the wellbeing of the Maritimes community was the absence of a Canadian Tyre – how can any society flourish without one in reasonable proximity? I had not seen one on arrival in Halifax or since. I am delighted to report that there is one in Charlottetown, at least.
Lt Gov House
We paid a visit to the Lieutenant Governor's residence, a pleasant house in a nice spot overlooking the bay. It is still lived in but free guided tours were available by waiting outside for the next tour on the hour and half hour and the young lass who showed us around spent rather more than the allocated 30 minutes so had a large group waiting after us. Apparently Prince William & Catherine stayed there last year; a slight difference to our B&B and I expect a slightly different price.
In the grand Hall, Lt Gov House
Speaking of which, we met our fellow guests for breakfast, a girl from Quebec Province who had cycled from there and was planning to cross on the ferry from Wood Island before cycling round the Cabot trail in Nova Scotia. I asked what colour her helmet was so we could look out for it (it's white & purple); we'll hoot as we pass her. There was a lovely family from Toronto with a 14 year old son with his arm in plaster following a soccer accident – it is a vicious game. Apparently they love the BBC output and are particularly fond of Top Gear.
With Charlottetown having about half the island's population, it is perhaps not surprising that the main attractions of PEI can be summed up as Historic Charlottetown, fictional Anne of Green Gables, wonderful scenery and spectacular and apparently very warm beaches. If you are not into beach holidays and there is probably a limit to how much lovely scenery you may want to take in; it is not an island in which to spend a lot of time. Although outdoorsy types looking for a new place to play will undoubtedly enjoy spending time here.
Landmark Cafe
Before leaving the island we went into Victoria and had lunch at the Landmark Café; apparently it is famous according to our guidebook and difficult to get in. This is understandable, an unassuming place serving wonderful food; we had a most excellent tuna salad washed down with pink lemonade. And it was not too pricey!
Back to the Confederation Bridge and the rather hefty $44.25 toll, albeit for both trips; I suppose an 8 mile bridge costs a lot to build & maintain.
And so to our overnight stay in Wallace at the Jubilee Inn. A large house overlooking Wallace Bay conveniently close to Jost vineyard that we hope to visit tomorrow. Our room is quite a pleasant one with an en-suite, rather quirkily having a spa bath in the bedroom itself. Let's just say that the décor suggests that there have been no recent trips to Canadian Tyre!

Lighthouses and a Lobster Supper
Charlottetown, Canada
Cape Bear Lighthouse
From Murray Harbour we took the coast road to Cape Bear to see the lighthouse and take in the view towards Cape Breton Island. Apparently this lighthouse was the first to pick up the distress signal from Titanic. A little further south on the coast road which meanders along the shore with pretty views of harbours and inlets to the Wood Island Ferry Terminal.
Wood Island Ferry
A service operates between here and Pictou on the Northumberland shore of Nova Scotia and we arrived just as a ferry was loading. We parked at the bottom of the lighthouse and watched her sail before heading for Point Prim and PEI's oldest lighthouse. A stroll along the beach with its brick red sand before a short 20 minute drive along another section of Trans Canada H/W 1 to Charlottetown. We parked at the Confederation Landing Park by the harbour ($1.75 per hour – up to $9) on the waterfront and looked for somewhere to have a drink and a bite to eat.
Where to start??
We settled on the Gahan House, the only micro brewery in PEI, and shared a plate of Nachos with pulled pork and dips washed down with a sample tasting of their range of beers. These were served in cute little tankards – a great idea and more than welcome in the searing heat of the afternoon.
Province House
Next stop Province House where, to quote the guide, 'in September 1864, 23 leaders from the British Colonies of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Canada (now Ontario and Quebec) began the discussions that led in 1867 to the creation of the Dominion of Canada'. We were shown a short film about this in relation to the characters and the progress of the discussions before wandering through the rooms on the first floor, including the Legislative Chamber.
Peakes Quay Restaurant, Delivery
A quick look at the shops on our way to the Aloha Tourist Home just a stone throws away from historic Great George Street. The houses on Sydney Street are all older properties too with plenty of on street parking. After a short rest and change we walked back to the harbour and ended our day with a wonderful lobster supper on a deck overlooking the water.

Murray Harbour, Canada
A quick call to wish Neil a Happy Birthday but he was working, so we left a message. Then down to a lovely breakfast of scone followed by sautéed diced potato with omelette made with lardons and mushrooms which set us up well for the day.
LM Montgomery was married in this room
First call of the day was to New Park Corner to visit the house of Lucy Maud Montgomery's aunt Annie Campbell. Sue has been reading a biography about Maud and the first few Anne books lately so wanted to see a few of the places she had read about. Maud spent much of her childhood with her cousins here and was married in the house in 1911. You can see the lake which inspired 'the Lake of Shining Waters' of Green Gables and the rooms are full of memorabilia associated with the author's life. A quick look at LM's place of birth in New London and then on to the Green Gables Heritage Place.
'Green Gables' reconstruction
You can walk in the grounds where the Macneill homestead (now demolished) was sited go through the 'Haunted Wood' and up to a reconstruction of the 'House of Green Gables' as described in the first novel. In between the two locations is the cemetery where Lucy Maud is buried.
LM Montgomery's grave
Sue enjoyed seeing the places that she had read about but said that the Green Gables reconstruction wasn't very much like she had imagined it to be.
We had thought of driving along the coast road from Cavendish through North Rustico and the front at Covehead Bay but this is now National Parkland and a park entry fee is charged from June to September. As we weren't planning to stop, we decided to take the more inland route along highway 6, to Mount Stewart and across to Georgetown. A small town with some tasteful suburban commercial development.
Waterfront working properties, Georgetown
The centre appears to be still a working fishing port, although still apparently small scale. There doesn't appear to be much commerce in the centre itself, containing many pretty clapper-board houses painted in many differing colours but all contributing to a lovely scene. Obviously the local area hasn't escaped the general economic situation and there were a number of houses that could do with a bit of tlc, which is a bit sad. After an unlikely approach, we came upon a former railway station that had been moved to a position by the harbour and spruced up a bit.
The Clamdiggers, Georgetown
With a deck set out with tables by the harbour edge it was a fabulous position to site a restaurant called the Clam Diggers. We couldn't resist and went in and chose a table on the outside deck – nearly choked when we saw the price list but ordered the pasta of the day; linguini with mussels, haddock, lobster, and clams in a tomato and cream sauce. It was absolutely superb and in a lovely setting.
Back Garden, Country Charm
By this time we were due at our B&B so we made for Murray River. A lovely evening was spent chatting with Glenn & Joan at the Country Charm Inn.

Round the Rocks and Over the Bridge
Kensington, Canada
lower beach shoreline , low tide cf B
We were back at Hopewell Rocks just after 9am and headed for the beach access just short of the shore area where we saw the Sandpipers the previous evening. Only a few people around at this point and we wandered along what had been the ocean floor a few hours before in amongst the wonderous rock formations.
Flowerpots, low tide
It reminded us of our visit to Flower Pot Island on the Bruce Peninsula with our Canadian family four years ago. These structures were sandstone though and flanked by large expanses of mud as the tide continued to recede.
View from Lookout, Hopewell Rocks cf C
As we headed back to the cliff view points a couple of hours later it was just past low tide and more and more people were arriving. A good idea that we had come so early!
Confederation Bridge from NB
Just before Prince Edward Island we stopped off at the information point before the bridge on the New Brunswick side. This had been on the advice of Elaine at Innisfree. Apparently the views of the bridge are more spectacular. We stopped for a sandwich and watched the hummingbirds swoop to the syrup feeders then climbed the viewing tower to look across the Northumberland Strait to PEI and marvel at this 7 mile bridge connecting it to New Brunswick.. It was difficult to see much as we crossed the bridge due to the metre high concrete barriers on either side.
Waterside development
First stop Summerside on our way to Kensington for our over night stay. A bit of a disappointment. To my mind the outskirts of the town were typical anodyne but characterless outer town shopping centres without even a nod to its history. Apparently very few of the old properties remain after a devastating fire in, I think the tourist office said, 1906. I suggested walking it, thinking that the streets would be narrow. They were the exact opposite with very little shade apart from in a small but pretty park. The houses that are left fall into two categories – well looked after or not looked after at all.
In need of tlc
I say a disappointment as I was expecting something a bit prettier. By now it was nearing 3.30pm and very hot so we headed for The Home Place Inn. After a shower to cool off we went down to the bar to order supper. We shared Oysters Benedict and then both chose Maple glazed Pork. We finished with coconut pie (again shared) and Rick had and Irish coffee while I had Blueberry Tea (Tea with Amaretto and Grand Marnier). The Tea was amazing!

You know good poetry? It's like that.
Photo by Rachel Tredon.
One of my favorite moments in Feed the Guest — a work I've seen three, maybe four times over the past year — comes when two dancers stand in profile hiding their faces with right hands, palms out, over their left (downstage) cheeks. In squeaky, cartoonish voices they over-enthusiastically say in unison, "Thank you for coming!" followed immediately in a deep, weary and sarcastic tone with "What a surprise." They use air quotes to add, "I had a 'funny' feeling," and the lights go out. Instead of constructing a parade of signifiers to frame the text and movement in her work, Julie Mayo simply lets loose a barrage of information, much of it contradictory or at least seemingly so, and encourages the viewer to find clues as to the group dynamics, obscured as they are with enigmatic role-play. That probably makes it sound difficult, but in fact it's not: I find dances, especially those including text, that barge into scenes assuming givens neither earned nor described far more challenging than the experience of riding along with Mayo's funny and poignant free verse. Hers is choreography with no interest in givens: Each body, as it enters the space, does so with no baggage of obligation. An example is Adam Rose's first appearance late in Guest, halting attempts at flight with his back turned to us ending abruptly in a long, blank freeze. She has him enter and do literally nothing — in witholding any detail about this interloper she recontextualizes the other three performers (Christine Benson, Jen Guglielmi and Jessica Wright) instantly and completely.
Mayo premiered two works on Thursday and Friday's program, a solo she danced entitled whoaa man and womens' trio (Wright again, with Jessie Young and Anna Goldman) Fever Drift, credited to Mayo and the performers. The latter is in many ways similar to Guest — frequent 2 + 1 arrangements and very little contact or direct address — suggesting some patterns in her approach to ensembles, but it's also longer, darker and more inconclusive. Guest's expansive use of space sets it for me in a meadow or on a lawn; there's a proudness with which it pushes to every wall and corner. In Fever Drift a pair of floor fans (not plugged in) arbitrarily cut off the rear third of the stage and a hefty chunk of downstage left, and the consistency of entrances and exits coming from a single wing creates the image of a cramped interior with a single door. Goldman, Wright and Young don't feel like sisters or even friends, merely people stuck with one another, the why of their situation not important. There's a similar infrequency of speech, but the trickery of Mayo's diction and humor in Guest and whoaa man is replaced with more Expressionist outbursts — the womens' long, wandering yells sound like pleas for sincerity slicing up through layer after layer of good manners and, while the movement vocabulary remains as idiosyncratic as ever, there's more flirtation with what I might call "iconic" shapes and modern dance history. If it were an introduction to her work I might inaccurately assume she's less formally inventive, but to see it as an eddy in larger investigations Fever Drift more than anything piques curiosity about where she's headed next.
Address of the audience in both new pieces is ratcheted up — way up. I feel like we see Guest through a two-way mirror, but mere moments into Fever Drift, all three women danced right up to the front row and quickly, cheerfully said "hi" (one in Spanish). Similar to something seen in Molly Shanahan's Stamina of Curiosity: my answer is yes in early June, there's protracted and silent, mover-observer acknowledgment — the dancers made and held eye contact for a very long moment. In whoaa man, this engagement with the audience never goes away. In a large, aubergine dress shirt over short shorts Mayo danced directly at us, confessing and thinking aloud as she romps around the room in a deep squat, her two arms toggling between space-holds and released swings. She's in a "whoa" place indeed, worked up into a tightly-controlled but wild fit; once she's done hyperventilating through what sound like random words snatched from her process journals she throws down the (empty) book and storms over to a radiator, leeching onto it as though she wants to tear it right off the goddamned wall. Not at all motivated by a need to demonstrate her skill set — impressive as it is — this was a solo that communicated with candid abandon the absurd difficulty of creating art that feels like a true representation of the self.
Rounding out the evening was Tiffany Rhynard, who performed a solo named Spill between Guest and whoaa man (Fever Drift closed). It's a surrealist's cassingle: On Side A she's a clumsy vamp in a ketchup-red dress and pumps, missing her mouth with a glass of wine and grinding in a white bunny head to a remix of Dolly Parton's 9 to 5; the B side finds her in a pair of fireman's overalls flying around through a few dozen terrific phrases of low leaps and floorwork (a very brief epilogue consisted of Rhynard leading an audience dancealong she called to an end precisely as it found its momentum). Her energy was great and direct and she half-sold her handful of jokes with endearing who-gives-a-fuck casualness. I haven't heard anything about her performing again in Chicago (she's currently teaching and making work at Middlebury) but I'd like to see more.
Mayo is heading out soon for an M.F.A. from Riverside but stresses this was no "farewell show": "I am going to grad school, but will be back in Chicago and getting some projects going . . .Dim Sum is doing a two locale thing." Good to hear — I'm hooked.

The Swampflix Podcast: Top Ten Time Travel Movies (With Guest Star Me)
Hello, dear readers. Posting this one off the normal schedule because just last weekend I took part in another episode of the movie review podcast put on by my friends at the Swampflix blog.
This week the three of us got together and ranked our top ten favorite movies featuring time travel then put the lists together and discussed our collective top ten. Skip to about the thirty minute mark for time travel discussion if your not interested in the French-Canadian "extremist" horror movie Martyrs discussed by James and Brandon in the first part of the show.
Here's the link to the episode, y'all. Enjoy now, you hear.
Episode #10 of The Swampflix Podcast: Top Ten Time Travel Movies & Martyrs (2008)
And here's a link to the previous episode I was featured in about movies featuring Artificial Intelligences, for the interested.

The Swampflix Podcast: A.I. Sci-Fi of the 2010s Guest Starring Yours Truly
Hey, y'all. Yesterday I recorded a podcast about AI movies with my friends over at the Swampflix movie review blog and it turned out rather nicely so I thought I'd write a post on the blog here urging you all to go give it a listen.
I apologize in advance for any inappropriate laughter on my part–I laugh when I'm nervous and I don't often record my own voice so I was pretty nervous the entire time–but definitely give this episode a listen if you're into science fiction about artificial intelligences then check out the rest of the Swampflix podcast if you enjoy what you hear.
Here's that link, y'all. Have a good one.

Blake Snyder's Save the Cat Beat Sheet
This one was originally intended for screenwriters–especially those who want a decidedly commercial product–but it's useful for novelists and short story writers alike.
Those of you who were afraid to give beginners something to shoehorn their plot into are really going to hate this one–from Blake Snyder, writer of the fabulous '90s movie Blank Check among other screenplays–because it goes so far as to include specific wordcounts for each beat–originally page numbers for a screenplay which have been converted for our purposes.
All wordcounts assume a 100,000 word finished novel. Enjoy:
THE BLAKE SNYDER BEAT SHEET
Opening Image (1 – 1,000 words) – A visual that represents the struggle & tone of the story. A snapshot of the main character's problem, before the adventure begins.
Set-up (1 – 9,100 words) – Expand on the "before" snapshot. Present the main character's world as it is, and what is missing in their life.
Theme Stated (happens during the Set-up at around 4,550 words) – What your story is about; the message, the truth. Usually, it is spoken to the main character or in their presence, but they don't understand the truth…not until they have some personal experience and context to support it.
Catalyst (at 10,920 words) – The moment where life as it is changes. It is the telegram, the act of catching your loved-one cheating, allowing a monster onboard the ship, meeting the true love of your life, etc. The "before" world is no more, change is underway.
Debate (10,920 – 22,714 words) – But change is scary and for a moment, or a brief number of moments, the main character doubts the journey they must take. Can I face this challenge? Do I have what it takes? Should I go at all? It is the last chance for the hero to chicken out.
Break Into Two [Choosing Act Two] (at 22,714 words) – The main character makes a choice and the journey begins. We leave the "Thesis" world and enter the upside-down, opposite world of Act Two.
B Story (around 27,300 words) – This is when there's a discussion about the Theme – the nugget of truth. Usually, this discussion is between the main character and the love interest. So, the B Story is usually called the "love story".
The Promise of the Premise (27,300 – 50,050 words) – This is the fun part of the story. This is when Craig Thompson's relationship with Raina blooms, when Indiana Jones tries to beat the Nazis to the Lost Ark, when the detective finds the most clues and dodges the most bullets. This is when the main character explores the new world and the audience is entertained by the premise they have been promised.
Midpoint (at 50,050 words) – Dependent upon the story, this moment is when everything is "great" or everything is "awful". The main character either gets everything they think they want ("great") or doesn't get what they think they want at all ("awful"). But not everything we think we want is what we actually need in the end.
Bad Guys Close In (50,050 – 68,250 words) – Doubt, jealousy, fear, foes both physical and emotional regroup to defeat the main character's goal, and the main character's "great"/"awful" situation disintegrates.
All is Lost (at 68,250 words) – The opposite moment from the Midpoint: "awful"/"great". The moment that the main character realizes they've lost everything they gained, or everything they now have has no meaning. The initial goal now looks even more impossible than before. And here, something or someone dies. It can be physical or emotional, but the death of something old makes way for something new to be born.
Dark Night of the Soul (68,250 – 77,350 words) – The main character hits bottom, and wallows in hopelessness. The Why hast thou forsaken me, Lord? moment. Mourning the loss of what has "died" – the dream, the goal, the mentor character, the love of your life, etc. But, you must fall completely before you can pick yourself back up and try again.
Break Into Three [Choosing Act Three] (at 77,350 words) – Thanks to a fresh idea, new inspiration, or last-minute Thematic advice from the B Story (usually the love interest), the main character chooses to try again.
Finale (77,359 – 99,100 words) – This time around, the main character incorporates the Theme – the nugget of truth that now makes sense to them – into their fight for the goal because they have experience from the A Story and context from the B Story. Act Three is about Synthesis!
Final Image (99,100 – 100,000 words) – opposite of Opening Image, proving, visually, that a change has occurred within the character.

III. Russ
Slip, snap, click.
A bead of sweat rolled down his nose. He blinked and squinted, trying to get it to drop from his face, but he couldn't take attention away from the task at hand to wipe it away.
He was a producer, not a consumer. He put in the hard work it took for everyone else to have their precious entertainment.
The repetition of it was already getting to him. He hadn't put together ten pieces on the day and he had already had enough. He could feel the weight of all the pieces still to come bearing down on him.
Pieces? Pieces of what? They didn't even look real. Just a bit of wire and two little metal things that snapped together and clicked into place.
It could be a part of anything. It could be a part of nothing. It was probably nothing. Just another way to make them look busy.
He looked up and down the line of people working beside him, repeating the same task he repeated, over and over and over.
How could they need so many? Why would they have to do this for so long in silence?
He turned to get the attention of the worker next to him, but she was focused intently on her own work. There wasn't time to communicate with one another on the assembly line. You were expected to keep up a certain pace, and it was impossible to do that while socializing.
He tried to remember how many pieces he was supposed to put together. Was it the same as yesterday? More? Why did they need so many?
All he could think about was the lunch bell, the lunch bell and putting together endless pieces of nothing.
Just when he felt like he couldn't take it any longer, relief came in the form of a loud, metallic clanging. He dropped the half-finished piece in his hand, stood up, and rushed off toward the food cart.
"Cut!" came an inhumanly loud voice—amplified by a megaphone. "Russ! You put down a half-finished piece," the voice said. "We need to run the whole scene again."
Russ looked up from the food cart, his mouth full of cheese. With his tattered costume and made-up face—made to look dirty—he looked every bit the down-and-out assembly line worker who hadn't eaten in days. "What?" he said, a crumb of half-chewed cheese falling to his shirt to complete the assembly line worker effect. "You've got to be kidding me. Again?"
"That's what happens when you get the scene wrong, Russ," Wes, the director who was yelling through the megaphone, said. "You have to do it again."
"C'mon, Wes," Russ complained. "I put pieces together just like you said, just like the script said. Slip, snap, click, slip, snap, click until the bell rings. I did that!"
"That's right, Russ," Wes said. "Then when the bell rings what do you do?"
"I put the work down and go to lunch a happy employee. That's what I did!"
"No, Russ." Wes frowned. "You finish two more pieces, then you go to lunch a happy employee. If you don't finish two more pieces, you might be behind quota. If you're behind quota, the boss will dock your pay. If the boss docks your pay, you won't have enough money to feed your son and daughter back home. Your wife is sick, and though she normally works, you're the only breadwinner in the household right now. You wouldn't want to leave the job without knowing that their future is safe. You wouldn't leave without finishing those two extra pieces to ensure you reached your quota. You couldn't be a happy employee with the thought that your children may not have breakfast in the morning and your wife may not have the medicine she needs. Do you understand why you did the scene wrong now, Russ? Do you get it?"
Russ swallowed the last bit of cheese in his mouth. He nodded without a word.
"So are you ready to try again, then? And to put those last two pieces together this time. Maybe even three?"
"Yeah, sure," Russ said, shrugging and taking another bite of cheese. "Whatever."
"Alright, then," Wes said, clapping his hands. "Places everyone!"
Russ sat back on the hard, cold stool. All the pieces he had put together were long gone down the assembly line, probably to be disassembled and put back through the cycle again. Now the constituent parts were all that was left in front of him. The other actors filed in and sat at their places around him. None of them ever got publicly called out by the director, but then again they weren't stars. With great fame came great responsibility.
"Lights!"
The world faded into darkness around him, all except for his work area which was lit so brightly it had a shining aura that looked like a halo.
"Cue the belts."
The constituent parts started moving down the conveyor belt in front of him. He had a Pavlovian urge to pick them up and start piecing them together, but he wanted to wait for the official start of the scene. This time he was going to make sure to do it up to the director's exacting standards, the exacting standards of the audience.
"Aaaaannnd…action!"
All he could think about was why they needed so much footage of him putting together pieces of nothing.
Slip, snap, click…
The solitude of his dressing room was a welcome repose to the cold hard assembly line. The seats were softer, and the colors were softer, and the floor was softer under his feet. Not only that, he had a 3D printer, the seed of all life, the technology which made assembly line work obsolete for humans. Everything was done by robot and printer now. Everything, that is, except for acting, which a robot could never do nearly as well as a human. And so a small few producers still had to make the sacrifice of assembly line work for the entertainment and edification of the hungry audience. That was the burden of being a star.
Russ sat at the brightly lit vanity and stared at himself in the mirror. The makeup he was wearing really did do magic. He wouldn't be able to recognize himself if he didn't know it was a mirror he was looking at. And his clothes? Disgusting. Obscenely retro. Ragged beyond trendiness. No sane person would be caught dead looking like he did just then. No, Russ Logo didn't look back at him from his battle station mirror, a poor, hungry assembly line worker did.
His stomach groaned at the thought of it. He sat and stared at himself for a minute longer, trying to decide between eating first or changing out of his ghastly costume, when hunger got the best of him. "Alright, alright," he said in response to another growl. "I hear you. Give me a second."
He walked over to the printer and stood staring at it in a daze with his hand hovering over the voice activation button. This was the fatal flaw with 3D printer technology: With every possible meal imaginable at the tip of your fingers, how were you supposed decide what to eat next? His stomach growled again imagining the possibilities.
"I'm trying," he said to it. "Maybe you could be a little more specific."
His stomach rumbled in response.
"That helps me none," he said as the door to his dressing room swung open. "Ugh, have you ever heard of knocking?" he snapped before he saw who it was. "Jorah Baldwin," he said when he did, shaking his head. "I should have known." He laughed.
"Who else would visit your appalling self," Jorah said. "Speaking of which, who picked your outfit?" He grinned with his white teeth standing out starkly against his painted red lips and dark skin.
"I'll have you know that this is all the rage in Paris." Russ struck a pose with one hand behind his head and the other on his hip. "The latest in assembly line chic couture."
They both burst into laughter and leaned in for a hug.
"For real, though, Russ," Jorah said when their laughing was under control. "You have got to change out of that hideous dress and put on some makeup. I'm about to gag just looking at you."
"Alright, alright," Russ said, waving his arms. "Give me a second."
He sat back at the battle station and pressed the little red button at the base of the mirror. A mechanical arm with a cloth wiped his face clean of the dirty assembly line worker makeup, leaving a fresh base. It poked him in the eye while it was doing it, and he let out a shrill yelp. "Fortuna!" he complained. "Will they ever get these things working properly?"
Jorah shrugged on the couch, flipping through a gossip magazine. "I hear they're coming out with a new model next month," he said.
"They come out with a new model every month," Russ said. "And more often than not they make it worse."
Jorah shrugged again. "What are you gonna do?"
Russ flipped through the shades of lipstick on the battle station's touchscreen, choosing purple to go with the suit he had already picked out in his mind. He added a winged eyeliner design and set the station to work. Putting the makeup on was nothing compared to taking it off, the little mechanical arms were deft and their sensors sensitive to his every subtle movement. He still had to try to sit still, of course, but it was nothing like before when your eyeliner would be on your lips if you even breathed. He felt like a new person when he looked at the result in the mirror.
"There," he said, standing from the vanity. Jorah glanced up from his magazine, nodded, and went on reading. "Now, something to wear." Russ had no trouble making that decision. He had been eyeing a purple paisley suit and alligator cowboy boots for days now. Finally, with Jorah there, he had someone famous enough to show the outfit off to.
Russ slipped out of his assembly line worker clothes and threw them down the trash chute. He called up a pair of silk boxers, a soft cotton undershirt, and a pair of argyle socks on the 3D printer's voice activation system and put them on under the suit and boots. When he was all dressed and had himself straightened out, he struck a pose in front of Jorah, who was still reading, and said, "What do you think?"
Jorah glanced up from his magazine, did a double take, then set the rag on the table. "You look absolutely stunning," he said, standing to get a closer look. "And like nothing I've ever seen before."
Russ blushed. "I thought it would be good for the show tonight. You really like it?"
"Of course, darling. Would I lie to you?" Jorah held Russ's hands out so he could get another look. "Beautiful."
Russ's stomach groaned in response.
Jorah jumped back in surprise then laughed. "I think your stomach likes it, too."
"Ugh. I forgot how hungry I was. I haven't eaten anything but stale food cart cheese all day. And I can never decide what I want with this stupid printer. Too many options."
"Fortuna! I know exactly what you mean," Jorah said, shaking his head. "I have the same problem picking out what I want to wear in the morning. Who can decide? Well, besides you, of course. It's like you have a sixth sense for fashion."
Russ blushed again. Only Jorah could get him to respond so humbly to compliments. But his stomach rumbled again, too, ruining the mood.
"Well, dear," Jorah said. "Why don't we get something in that stomach of yours and take your new suit out for a spin? What do you say?"
"Anything's better than sitting here, trying to figure out what to order from that stupid printer," Russ said. "Where do you want to go?"
"Hmmm." Jorah tapped his chin with one finger. "I don't know." He smiled. "I can't decide."
They both burst into laughter.
"What's at the top of the chart today?" Russ asked. "Did you look it up yet?"
"Duh." Jorah scoffed. "We have Alinea in Chicago at three, Kitch in Tokyo at two, and…drum roll please…at the number one position we haaave…the Plantation in New Orleans!"
"The Plantation?" Russ said. "I've never heard of it."
"Ooooh." Jorah's eyes grew wide. "It's brand new. And all the biggest celebs are going there."
Russ scoffed.
"Well, not all, of course," Jorah said, backtracking. "Obviously you haven't been there yet. But some big directors and producers have been seen there, and you know how crucial it is to get buddy buddy with them."
Russ nodded. That was true, though not as important for him these days—it was more important for writers and directors to try to get buddy buddy with him—but it was certainly still true for Jorah. "I haven't been to New Orleans in a while," he said.
"It's such a party atmosphere," Jorah said, clapping his hands. "It's so artistic down there, I just love it."
"And you're sure this is a definite trend?" Russ tapped his foot. "Not just a bubble fad? I don't want my name anywhere near another burst bubble, Jorah."
"No no no," Jorah said, shaking his head. "Nothing like that, Russ. This is the first day it's been at number three, but its been in the top five for a while now. Anyway, if you go you know it'll be a definite trend in no time."
"That is true." Russ smiled, winking. "Let's do it, then."
The elevator port was directly across the hall from Russ's dressing room. He peeked out to make sure the coast was clear before exiting, not wanting to be forced to sit through another lecture from Wes. Russ didn't have to listen to anyone try to tell him how to act, especially a lowly documentary director. As if Wes knew better than the all time highest viewed actor in the history of entertainment. Ha!
Russ's elevator was a ten foot cube lined with mirrors and a soft carpet. A velvet couch sat against the back mirror, and automated pop music trickled from the speakers overhead as they plopped down into the nest of a sofa.
"Where are we going again?" Russ asked.
"Uh, the Plantation," Jorah said. "New Orleans," he added for the elevator.
The elevator fell into action with an almost imperceptible jolt of inertia.
"Street entrance, please," Russ added.
Jorah gave him a look. "Buoy, do you want to get mugged by the papos?"
"C'mon, man. I haven't been to New Orleans in forever. I wanna see the city." Russ smiled.
"You can see the city from a balcony. They have a lot of them in New Orleans, you know."
"It's not the same." Russ shook his head. The elevator stopped with the same small jolt. "And we're here anyway. Come on. It's just a little walk down the block."
"Oh, alright," Jorah huffed. He stood to check himself in the mirrors. "Let me straighten myself out first. How shall we present ourselves?"
"Hmmm." Russ stood to look at himself, too. His suit did look good on him. Whatever pose they decided on had to accentuate that. "What do you think?" he asked.
"Well, we could go for the classic we didn't think you'd be there pose," Jorah said, putting on a surprised face.
"Ugh." Russ groaned. "Not that. It's so cliché. As if we wouldn't expect papos at our elevator door."
"Then what about the don't take my picture pose?" Jorah crossed his hands in front of his face and looked away from Russ.
"No," Russ said with a chuckle, shaking his head. "Too far the other way. If we didn't want our pictures taken, we'd just take the restaurant entrance."
"Oooh," Jorah said, wide eyed. "Wait wait wait, I know, let's do a fake don't take to the ooh we gotchu. How about that?" He smiled wide.
"Well…It is the Christmas season."
"Yes!" Jorah clapped his hands together. "We'll get jolly with it. Perfect. Let's do it. Doors open."
The elevator doors slid open to reveal an oppressive humidity with the sun high overhead. They were hit with a barrage of flashing lights and clicking cameras while holding their don't take my picture pose, with their hands covering their faces, until the papos started complaining behind their cameras, then they laughed, smiled, hugged, and posed for a few pictures, ensuring everyone knew they were only joking in the Christmas spirit. Jorah kept laughing with a fake jolly, "Ho ho ho!" which sent Russ into bursts of uncontrollable genuine laughter. They had to push their way through the mass of papos with him still hunched over and giggling.
"I don't know why they use the flash during the day," Jorah said as they walked up the street toward the restaurant. "Seems bright enough to take pictures without it to me."
Russ shrugged, finally getting his giggles under control. He eyed the ancient architecture around him which seemed to hold a history he could see but never know, a history he felt like he had lived. He thought he remembered these very buildings from a past life. "Jorah," he said, tugging Jorah's arm. "Did this used to be something else?"
Jorah scrunched up his nose to indicate he was thinking. "Hmm," he said. "Yeah, you know, I think you're right. A casino or something."
A casino. Of course. Now Russ remembered. The casino where he had first gotten discovered. How could he forget? "But the building looked completely different back then," he said. "What happened?"
"They moved the whole thing so some producer could live in it," Jorah said. "Least that's what I heard. They put the Plantation in its place instead."
"The things they do these days," Russ said, shaking his head as they stepped into the restaurant.
An android with jerky, robotic movements greeted them at the door, and Russ was a little appalled at the sight of it. His stomach gurgled with something other than hunger at seeing a robot that was so subtly not human trying to pass off as one.
"Misters Logo and Baldwin," the android said in a barely mechanical voice. "So nice of you to join us. Can I take your coats?"
"No, I'm fine," Russ said, cringing.
"No coat," Jorah said, shrugging.
"Will anyone else be joining you today?"
"Just us," Jorah said.
The restaurant looked like the set of an old southern drama, one of the ancient classics like Interview With the Vampire. Everything was made of wood and the floor creaked as you walked along it. Russ wanted less and less to be there the closer they got to the table. "Are you sure about this place?" he asked when they had been seated with menus in hand. "I mean, is that fungus on the wall?"
"I'm telling you, Russ," Jorah said. "Give it a shot. The food is supposed to be great, and the atmosphere is half the charm. It's gonna be big, sweetheart. Like 60's diner big."
"I don't know." Russ perused the menu. It was all oysters and crawfish and alligator—and some things he didn't even know how to pronounce. "Are these even foods? I mean, I don't see kale anywhere."
"Just order the special like you always do, dear. I'm sure it'll be to die for." Jorah placed his menu on the table without reading it. He always got the special, too. You had to get the special every time you went anywhere or you might miss that one time when it was given the most delicious meal on the planet award.
A little pole on wheels with a screen attached to it rolled up to the table. The screen showed a yellow frowning face. "I'm sorry," it said in a wholly mechanical voice. "Our normal service staff is out of service. I'll be taking your order today. How can I help you?" The frown turned into a smile.
Russ gave Jorah a look. Jorah shrugged, smiled, and waved it off. "We'll take two specials," he said.
"Your order will be right up." The screen on a stick rolled away.
"Fortuna," Russ said. "I don't know what's worse, that jerky, almost-human host or the screen on a stick they have taking orders tonight. I can't believe I let you talk me into this."
"Calm down, Russ," Jorah said. "You'll make a scene. Just relax and enjoy the ambiance."
"Ambiance?" Russ scoffed. "This isn't ambiance. I don't want mold growing in the restaurant I'm eating at unless they're making cheese. Do you—Fortuna! Did you see that?" A black furry blur ran past them and into the kitchen as the screen on a stick rolled out to take another table's order.
"What? What is it?" Jorah looked around to see what he was screaming about, but the thing was already gone. "Fortuna," he said. "That is a hideous dress. But it's nothing to scream about, Russ. That's too dramatic even for me."
"No, Jorah," Russ said. "I just saw an animal run into the kitchen. I'm not—"
"A what?"
"—gonna stay and eat—yes, Jorah. An animal. A—uh—a cat, or something. I don't know. But I saw it run through the dining room and I'm not eating at any restaurant with a cat-infested kitchen. I'm sorry. I'm leaving." He stood from the table and let his chair fall to the floor to punctuate his ire. He remembered doing it in an old movie he had acted in and thought it would serve to drive his performance home, to convince Jorah to leave with him, or—at the very least—to make some of the other guests look around and see his new suit. He didn't want to leave yet because too few people had seen how good he looked, but a little bit of a scene ought to remedy that.
"And I suggest that all of you leave here, too!" he said, looking around at the other diners, some of whom he was glad to see were already staring and whispering. "If you want to know why, then tune in to my show tonight at primetime. Me being Russ Logo for anyone who's been living under a rock their entire life." He looked over at Jorah who was already eating the food that had been delivered while Russ was distracted plugging his show.
"You sure you don't want some of this?" Jorah asked through a full mouth. "It's good."
Russ's stomach grumbled in longing. He shifted his feet as if to pick the chair up and sit down, then thought better of it. "Ugh. No," he said. "I can't. Not after that performance."
"Bravo," Jorah said with a smile, still chewing his food.
"Look," Russ said, his stomach growling. "I'll see you after the show tonight. Right? Last day of partying before the big speech."
"Of course, girl." Jorah said, waving a hand. "Go break a leg."
Russ decided to get one last look at the old neighborhood and take his elevator at the street entrance. The sky was the same bright blue, and if it weren't for the papos shuffling around, taking his picture, and asking why he had left the restaurant so soon, it might have reminded him of when he used to work at the casino on this same lot. He turned to look up at the Plantation which, unsurprisingly, was in a building that looked like an old plantation. It had big white columns holding the porch roof up, and the walkway to the entrance was lined with oak trees whose branches were hung with moss. He wondered what would stand in its place the next time he was here and where the Plantation would stand in the future. It was a historic relic and he knew how much they loved their history. They were exacting about every last piece of it. Slip, snap, click.
Russ felt a tug on his arm and turned to see a dirty-faced assembly line worker in among the crowd of papos. She looked like she had just walked off the set he was on earlier but had forgotten to change and do her makeup before she left her dressing room.
"Russ?" the dirty assembly line worker asked in a pleading, urgent voice. "Russ Logo?"
"Do I know you, ma'am?" Russ said. "You don't look like one of these dirty papos," he added for the cameras, and the faces behind them laughed.
"No. You don't. But I know you."
"Well, who doesn't?" He shot another big smile at the cameras and more laughter came from behind them.
"That's the point, sir. I have something important to tell you."
"Well, then, why don't we do lunch? But not here, please. For reasons why check out my show tonight at primetime." Russ winked at the cameras. "But maybe you'd like to change into something more—uh—let's say…presentable before we go." He looked her up and down. The cameras panned to her and back to him again.
"I don't have much time. I just wanted to tell you that we're not robots. We're living, breathing human beings. And we won't be working for you much longer."
The camera snaps quickened. More and more papos swarmed onto the scene as if attracted by the scent of a newsworthy story. Russ didn't know how to respond. What was she talking about? No humans worked for him. She must have been trying out some publicity stunt. "Woah there, little lady," he said. "I'm not sure I understand. You say you work for me?"
She nodded. "On an assembly line."
Humans on an assembly line? "And you committed no crime?"
"I was born into my family."
"And your contacts," Russ said with a smile, putting his face close to hers to look into her eyes. "They're not hidden cameras?"
"What?" She looked confused. "I don't understand."
"Come on. You're pulling my leg, right? This is a hidden camera show or something. Bruce, you got a camera out here somewhere? Or is this something new?" He looked around the crowd to see if any of the "papos" would fess up to the job, but no one was giving in just yet.
A peal of sirens rang out from down the street near the elevator bay. The "assembly line worker" looked toward the sound then back at Russ, and said, "We're humans. We're humans and you have to know. You have to tell everyone." Then she disappeared into the still thickening crowd of papos.
Russ thought about chasing after her, but his stomach groaned in protest. He still hadn't eaten anything but stale food cart cheese. Instead of waiting for the protectors to finish with the elevator—and in the process getting trapped with the need to file a report—he slipped back into the Plantation and used their elevator port. The protectors could learn all about what had happened from the papos if they really wanted to know, and if they wanted more they could watch his show that night when he would undoubtedly discuss the occurrence. For now, though, it was better to head back to his dressing room unseen, fill up on something from the printer, and relax in preparation for the impending show.
The hip hop beat of the Logo Show's theme song played on low in the background. Russ sat at an "R" shaped desk in the dark. A live audience of B and C list celebrities held their breath, waiting to hear him speak. Behind a camera, the director counted down from ten with his fingers. Russ stared into the black mirror of the camera lens, trying to see himself as the world saw him, see himself through the eyes of the lens. At a specific time signature change in the theme he knew to start smiling, any later and the smile looked faked or forced for the rest of the show no matter how genuinely he was actually doing it. He took a deep breath at the upbeat, the director pointed at him, the lights flashed on, and the cameras took focus.
"Hello world," he went into his opening monologue as if he were programmed to do it. "I'm Russ Logo, and this is Logo's Show. For anyone out there who's been living under a rock since they were born, the show I'm talking about is life. And…let me tell you—let me tell you world—never before in the history of existence was I more convinced that this is in fact Logo's show than I am on this very day. Not to get into too much detail—because we have some guests to talk to and electioneering to get through"—he winked at the camera—"but let me just say that someone approached me today and wanted to talk about—wait—you'll never guess…robots."
The crowd Ooooh!ed in response.
"Now, a lot of you watch this show religiously, and you often hear me complaining about shoddy robot technology—especially in the home beauty and food service industries—but I know how hard they work on our assembly lines at least. Am I right people?"
The crowd cheered and clapped on cue.
"That's right they do. But this woman today—now this woman said that she worked on an assembly line. Can you believe that?"
The crowd booed.
"She said that humans worked on the front lines, not robots. Now can you believe that?"
A chorus of "no"s echoed through the studio.
"Well, on tonight's show we're going to discuss just that and so much more. So if you want to know what's hot and happening in the world today, stick around. Because this is Logo's Show."
The hip hop theme came on again and the lights dropped. Russ stretched his legs a bit, wriggling in his seat, congratulating himself on another great opening segment. He could feel the crowd yearning for more, not just in front of him but all around the world. This, he knew, was going to be a great show. Maybe the best one he had ever put on.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two protectors in their big white boots and white cargo pants—cargo pants!—with chunky white plated vests—and all of this long after Owner Day which every respectable person knew was a fashion faux pas. They were wearing white helmets with facemasks that looked like something out of a samurai movie with deep, black, pointed eyes and misshapen mouths that flashed electronic green, red, and yellow as the protectors spoke in their unnatural modulated voices.
One of them tapped the director on the shoulder, and after a short, neon conversation, the director pointed in Russ's direction. Russ's body tensed up. The hairs on the back of his neck stood on end. He tried to calm himself, to breath deeply. He had no reason to feel like this. He had done nothing wrong. But he couldn't help it. It was an instinctual reaction. His knees started to shake under the desk as the protectors approached.
"Russ Logo," one of them said, hand on his holster, voice modulated somewhere between human and robot. The same sinking feeling knotted Russ's stomach as when he saw the jerky server at the Plantation.
"Yes?" Russ said in a squeaky voice. He coughed and overcompensated in the deep range with another, "Yes?"
"We have a few questions. Come with us."
"Can't this wait?" Russ said, regaining his normal voice. "I have a show to do."
"Now citizen!"
Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. If you can't wait to find out what happens next, you can purchase the full print novel here or the full eBook here. Have a great weekend.

So, I just might have written a reddit love story.
For the same reasons that no publisher would ever pay me to print this in their magazine (it's about reddit, the formatting is wonky, it relies on hyperlinks), I'm offering it free for your reading pleasure right here. Wordpress will never be able to handle this formatting, though, so you're gonna have to read it Google Docs style.
Click here to read and (hopefully) enjoy.

Sepialine announced today that the latest version of Printerpoint, their large format device monitoring software, adds support for KIP's "System K enabled" printer series, Océ's Colorwave series, as well as the entire Ricoh large format product line.
Printerpoint is a cloud-based device monitoring solution that helps equipment providers monitor and track the printers they place at remote customer locations. By providing real time meter reads, supply levels and status messages, equipment providers can remotely bill customers for usage, ship supplies and schedule service calls without requiring end-user interaction.
"Now that we can track KIP System K equipment, our entire fleet can be managed remotely" says Paul Quiroga, Director of Sales at DES Reprographics, a California-based solutions provider that uses Printerpoint to streamline their business. Read more about how DES uses Printerpoint.
Large format equipment providers who do not use Printerpoint typically rely on customers to provide end-of-month meter reads, which can result in billing delays if customers are not quick to respond.
Printerpoint helps providers increase their attachment rate with notifications about when customers are low on ink/toner and paper. This enables lucrative MPS-style contracts where all supplies and service are wrapped into a monthly cost, and offers upsell opportunities when customers buy supplies outside of their device contract.
Printerpoint's alert system notifies your service team when a device needs maintenance or has a problem. Reduce "need it now" service calls by knowing about maintenance issues before your customer calls to report a problem!
Printerpoint supports a huge range of large format devices, including: HP PageWide XL, HP DesignJet, Canon imagePROGRAF, Océ Colorwave, Océ Plotwave, Océ TDS, KIP System K, KIP IPS, and Ricoh - with more coming soon.
Printerpoint is only $5 per device, per month, with no contracts or monthly minimums. Sign up today at Sepialine.com/Printerpoint for a two-week trial.
Sepialine is a San Francisco-based software development company that focuses on solutions which make selling, maintaining and using printers simpler and cost-effective. Their flagship product, Argos, helps architects, engineers and law firms turn printing costs into a revenue stream while simplifying print workflow. In 2014, Sepialine introduced Printerpoint, a cloud-based device management solution that enables manufacturers, dealers and resellers of large format equipment to maximize profit and increase the efficiency of their printer fleet remotely. | {

When we talk about photography, oftentimes we talk about those in the frontlines, the photographers and artists, and forget the facilitators behind the scenes who are just as committed in their efforts and contributions. Here are some of our favourite advocates, all ten of whom are women.

Working with loss and grief: till death do us art
A creative CPD course exploring death, loss & grief, its implications for therapy work & the importance of self-care. Death can touch on our most primitive defences. On this creative course, you will have the opportunity to safely explore this important aspect of living; reflecting both on client work and on your own feelings and experiences.
Friday 11th & Saturday 12th March 2022
Delivered via Zoom, information for the day & invite to join will be sent once booking has closed
**This course is open to all qualified professionals from the UK and Internationally**
Thoughts of death, loss and grief can be challenging. How do we work with a client's grief? How do we manage our own grief in this process? What does a dying client bring to the work? In these times, following a global pandemic, when thoughts of death had been ever present, clinicians need time and space to reflect on what death and dying mean for us, what impact they may have on therapy and on the therapeutic alliance, and how death and grief may play out within our clinical work. It is important for clinicians to have considered their own relationship with grief; culturally, spiritually, personally, systemically and professionally.
To be best placed to work with this most universal of life experiences we must take the time to explore own experiences and what we will bring to the therapy work. For many clinician's death and grief can understandably bring fear, paralleling responses of wider society; a shutting down rather than a widening of the discourse around this often difficult subject.
This short course will help clinicians to meet clients with open curiosity, compassion and confidence. It will support clinicians in welcoming grief as a natural process and also recognising when grief has become complex or pathological offering tools and frameworks to facilitate the therapy work.
Day 1: A workshop focused day, underpinned with up-to-date bereavement theory & concepts. You will be offered practical tools and be guided through creative exercises to expand your thinking around losses in the widest sense and what that brings to the therapy room.
Day 2: A reflective day with space to play, create and experiment - drawing on some aspects of day-1, this will be a time for a deeper investigation of your experiences and feelings on loss and grief, using creativity and group processes.
• A creative exploration of a range for grief theories, increasing participant understanding and de-pathologising the grief process.
• Understanding your own relationship with grief and what thus brings to the therapy work
• Exploration of frameworks and tools for working with grief and loss.

ASU football loses one assistant, adds another
Doug Haller
azcentral sports
Todd Graham's Arizona State coaching staff continues to change.
Recent moves:
- Co-defensive coordinator/safeties coach Chris Ball and tight ends coach/recruiting coordinator Chip Long are leaving to join Mike Norvell's staff at Memphis. Ball will serve as defensive coordinator, while Long will work as offensive coordinator. Norvell, of course, left ASU in December after working as Graham's offensive coordinator the past four years.
- Graham is in the process of hiring Kodi Burns as running backs coach. Burns, 27, coached receivers last season at Middle Tennessee State, where he had a base salary of $80,000. Previously, Burns worked under Gus Malzahn at Arkansas State and Auburn. As a player at Auburn, Burns helped the Tigers win the the 2011 BCS National Championship, a game played at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.
Playing receiver and quarterback, he finished his college career with 2,299 yards and 22 touchdowns. SI.com's Thayer Evans first reported the news.
The Ball and Long decisions are not surprising. Both are leaving for higher-profile positions. Ball -- who had a base salary of $365,000 -- has not run his own defense since leaving Washington State in 2011. Last month, he interviewed for the head job at Montana State.
This will be Long's first stint as an offensive coordinator. Like Norvell, he has been a key recruiter during his four seasons at ASU. On the field, he mostly coached tight ends, although this season his role expanded after Bo Graham resigned as running backs coach just two weeks before the season opened against Texas A&M. At ASU, Long had a base salary of $200,000.
ASU TE coach/recruiting coordinator Chip Long leaving for Memphis
According to a source, Graham may lose at least one more assistant off this season's staff. The immediate concern is recruiting. The Sun Devils -- coming off back-to-back Top 25 recruiting classes -- currently have 18 players committed or signed in this class. National signing day is Feb. 3.

Graham already replaced Norvell with Southern Miss assistant Chip Lindsey, who called plays in ASU's Motel 6 Cactus Bowl loss to West Virginia on Saturday. Graham promoted graduate assistant Josh Martin after Bo Graham's departure in August. Martin helped with the tight ends this season and will coach that group moving forward.
Norvell's Memphis staff will have strong ASU ties. In addition to Ball and Long, Paul Randolph will coach the defensive line. Randolph, who has worked under Graham for several years, initially started as ASU associate head coach and co-defensive coordinator. He also coached the defensive line and linebackers. Last year, Randolph was assigned a non-coaching position -- associate athletics director of championship life.
ASU offense produces with new OC Lindsey calling plays
Joe Lorig will coach Memphis outside linebackers and special teams. Lorig also was on Graham's original ASU staff, coaching cornerbacks and special teams, but he was forced out after the special units struggled in 2013. At Memphis, Lorig will re-unite with Ball, who was the best man in his wedding. In the past, Lorig has referred to Ball as a father-like figure.
Dan Lanning will coach Memphis inside linebackers and serve as recruiting coordinator. He once was a graduate assistant at ASU and worked in other support positions.
Other Memphis coaches with ASU ties: Offensive line coach Ryan Silverfield, who worked most of last season as an offensive analyst, and strength and conditioning coach Josh Storms, who spent the last eight year's on ASU's conditioning staff.

Pinterest Pincodes: Can They Help Your Online Business?
Have you heard about the cool new feature from Pinterest? They're called Pincodes, and they connect your customers directly to your Pinterest profile or a specific board on your profile.
Pincodes are Pinterest's take on QR codes.
To use the Pincodes, users take a picture of the Pincode with their Pinterest camera and are directed to whatever profile or board you attached to that code.
See that circle with the colorful dots around it? That's how a Pincode looks.
Nordstrom is putting Pincodes in their stores where customers might have some extra time to be on their phones. Like while waiting in line, for example.
While they're waiting, they can open their Pinterest app, scan the Pincode and be directed to curated gift boards. Shopping online while standing in line at the same store.
If you're a retail store owner, that is brilliant!
Food companies are placing Pincodes on their packaging to direct purchasers to recipes using their products.
Magazines are using Pincodes to send readers to exclusive digital content from their Pinterest boards.
But what if you're not one of those major brands. What if you're just a small online business?
If you're a business, then you have products to sell. Pinterest Pincodes can be added to your packaging, printed receipts, and even downloadable digital products.
For example, say you sell handmade accessories on your Etsy store. You probably already have a Pinterest board where you share all of your products. Maybe you have a board of brides who used and recommended your products.
Screenshot of the Pinterest camera scanning a Pincode.
People who have bought from you before are very likely to buy from you again.
So print the Pincode on your business card, packaging, or receipt that comes in the mail with their product. Encourage them to scan your Pincode to see other items they might like.
Maybe you have a gardening blog and sell seeds on Pinterest. You could print the Pincode on your seed packet and have it lead to your seed starting board for direction and advice on starting seeds.
If you have a digital product, remember that many people will print out your digital product, and you can have a Pincode in your bio to encourage followers to your account or direct them to additional products they might like or even a board with all your affiliate pins.
Can bloggers take advantage of Pinterest Pincodes, too?
It might make sense to add Pincodes to your blog posts or newsletters.
To make full use of the feature, your reader would first have to know what it is, then take a screenshot of the Pincode and open it in their Pinterest camera. And depending on how the image is cropped, it might not work.
It's much simpler to insert a regular link to your profile or board.
Except that Pincodes are visually striking. So I don't see why you couldn't try adding them as an image in your post and link the image to your board or profile.
You could test and see if it helps you get clicks by using the Pincode image. I think this method will be more useful when people are used to seeing Pincodes and know what they do.
To create a Pincode, you simply need a Pinterest business account.
On desktop and mobile, click on your profile image to create a Pincode to your profile.
To create a Pincode for a specific board, first you need to open your board. On mobile, click the share icon and look for Pincode at the bottom of the screen. On desktop, click the three dots at the top of the screen and then click create Pincode.
On desktop, you do have the option to change the picture in the code, but I did not find that option on mobile.
Here's the word on using Pincodes for your business from the Pinterest Help Center.
So what do you think? Will you be using Pincodes for your blog?
« WordPress Permalinks: Do This, Not That!
Thanks. It seems as if pin codes just showed up on Pinterest with no explanation. | {

Ostereierfarben werden zum Färben von Ostereiern verwendet. Dabei werden unterschiedliche Techniken zum Verzieren, Dekorieren und Bemalen der Eier angewandt, aber auch verschiedene Färbetechniken und Farbmittel.
Obwohl die Verwendung von Naturfarbstoffen möglich ist, wird aus Gründen der Beständigkeit und der geringeren Preise auf den Einsatz synthetischer Farbstoffe bisher nicht verzichtet.
Synthetische Ostereierfarben
Zum Färben von Ostereieren sind sogenannte Kaltfarben in Tablettenform erhältlich, die in Wasser und einem Esslöffel Essig gelöst werden, Färbestäbchen, mit denen noch heiße Eier gefärbt werden, und Ostereier-Färbetücher. Mit diesen synthetischen Färbetabletten, -stäbchen oder -tüchern erhält man kräftige und leuchtende Farben.
Sie enthalten meist folgende Lebensmittelfarben:
Lebensmittelfarben gelten als Lebensmittelzusatzstoffe und sind daher mit einer sogenannten E-Nummer gekennzeichnet.
Viele dieser Farbstoffe gehören zur Gruppe der Azofarbstoffe, wie Azorubin. Dagegen zählt Patentblau zur Gruppe der Triphenylmethanfarbstoffe. Es wird vom Körper nach Aufnahme unverändert ausgeschieden und nicht resorbiert. Wenig resorbiert werden Chinolingelb und Erythrosin.
Der rote Farbstoff Karminsäure (Cochenille, Lebensmittelfarbstoff E 120) ist ein chemisch aufbereiteter Naturfarbstoff und wird unter anderem aus der Kermes-Schildlaus (Porphyrophora polonica) gewonnen. Der Farbstoff stellt das Glykosid eines Anthrachinonderivates dar. Es ist ziemlich teuer und wird daher seltener verwendet. Der künstlich hergestellte Ersatzfarbstoff Cochenillerot A ist als Lebensmittelfarbstoff E 124 zugelassen.
Färben mit Färbetüchern
Ostereierfarben aus Naturfarbstoffen
Das Färben von Eiern mit Naturfarbstoffen ist eine traditionelle Methode, zu der sich zahlreiche Pflanzenfarbstoffe eignen. Der Aufwand ist für den Anwender etwas größer als bei Färbetabletten, und die Dauer des Färbevorgangs erfordert eine längere Zeit. Die Farben erscheinen etwas weniger brillant.
Die Färbemittel werden gekocht und der Sud (das Kochwasser) wird als Farbbad benutzt. Durch Zusatz von Essig werden die Farben intensiver. Die gekochten Eier werden in das Farbbad gelegt und müssen etwa eine Stunde darin bleiben.
Das in Rote Bete vorkommende Betanin (E 162 Beerenrot) ist gegen Licht und Hitze empfindlich, ist aber dennoch zum Färben geeignet. Der Aufguss von Brennnesseln und Spinat enthält als Farbstoff Chlorophyll (E 140). Dieser Farbstoff ist wasserlöslich und ziemlich beständig.
Industriell gefärbte Eier
Nicht nur zu Ostern, sondern das ganze Jahr über sind im Handel unter Bezeichnungen wie "Brotzeit-Eier" oder "Party-Eier" gefärbte, hart gekochte Eier erhältlich. Die für deren Färbung zulässigen synthetischen oder natürlichen Substanzen sind in Artikel 2 Absatz 9 der EU-Richtlinie 94/36/EG eingegrenzt. Um eine längere Haltbarkeit und einen schönen Glanz zu erhalten, werden die Eier mit ungiftigem, lebensmitteltauglichem Schellack (E 904) überzogen.
Sofern es sich um Eier in Bio-Qualität handelt, dürfen bei der gewerblichen Färbung gar keine Farbstoffe, sondern ausschließlich färbende Lebensmittel zum Einsatz kommen. Die Landesbehörden dürfen in diesem Fall für eine begrenzte Zeit – wie zum Beispiel die Osterzeit – Ausnahmeregelungen für den Einsatz von Farbstoffen aus natürlicher Quelle erteilen.

(1) QUEEN OF PULP. Twitter's Pulp Librarian today did a retrospective of illustrator Margaret Brundage, "the Queen of Pulp," with lots of her Weird Tales covers from the 1930s. Jump on the thread here —

(2) ELLEN KLAGES DONATES CLARION WEST INSTRUCTORSHIP. Clarion West announced Karen Lord is the recipient of "The Sally Klages Memorial Instructorship 2018".
The Sally Klages Memorial Instructorship will be awarded in 2018 in memory of Sally Klages, with love from her sister Ellen Klages….
Ellen Klages' tribute begins —
Sally was a writer. I never heard her say that she wanted to be one; she simply proclaimed, proudly, that she was. She wrote every day in tiny, cramped cursive: working on her autobiography, lectures to her Invisible Friends, instructions about how life ought to be led.
Like many of us, she owned dozens of notebooks and countless pens, and was never without them. She once packed a gallon-sized Ziploc bag of pens and markers into her carry-on bag for a two-hour flight, "in case one runs out." Writing was her joy, her recreation, her solace.
Sally was born with Down Syndrome. As far as she was concerned, that wasn't a handicap — it was what made her special. And she was. She was Valedictorian of her class at Northeast Training Center, and an employee at Columbus State University for 17 years. She was one of the founding members of the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio (DSACO), she was on the board of the National Down Syndrome Conference, and was a featured speaker there in 1989. An active participant in the Special Olympics, she won more than three dozen medals in swimming, diving, track and field, bowling, and cross-country skiing….

(3) PICACIO AT THE MIKE. In "Your 2018 Hugo Awards MC Is…." John Picacio tells why he is proud to be Worldcon 76's choice.
Today, the 76th World Science Fiction Convention has announced me as the Master of Ceremonies for this year's Hugo Awards in San Jose, CA, while also announcing that the Hugo Awards' Nominations Period is now open! Having won two Hugos for Best Professional Artist, I know how much the Hugos mean to the sf/f field, and it's a huge honor to serve this stage in front of my colleagues and heroes. Worldcon 76 asked me to be the 2018 Hugo MC last August so it's been fun keeping that under wraps the last five months, even after being announced as this year's Artist Guest of Honor.
There's some history that comes along with this role.
I'm the first visual artist to ever be a Hugo Awards MC. I think this could perhaps be a harbinger of Hugo Ceremonies to come. Many of our best visual creators — such as Brom, Todd Lockwood, Ruth Sanderson, Gregory Manchess, and more — are becoming author / artist / storytellers, conjuring the words and pictures of their own bestselling books and media. Our next generation of illustrators are aspiring to tell their own stories, just as much as becoming hired guns. I suspect there will be more artists following through the Hugo MC door behind me, and they'll likely come from this expanding universe of hybrid, contemporary artists.
I'm only the third Worldcon Guest of Honor to also serve as Hugo Awards MC at the same Worldcon. I believe Connie Willis and David Gerrold are the only others to do this in the con's 76-year history. We must all be insane. ?.
I'm especially proud to be the first Mexicanx to ever serve as a Hugo Awards MC. I love being first, but the most important thing is that I'm not the last. With the daily assaults upon our DREAMers, villainizing of our culture by racists, and terroristic threats against our citizens, we're living in an important moment for Mexicanx north and south of the border. I'm looking forward to sharing my spotlight with all of them.
(4) WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT. 2016 Clarke Award judge David Gullen discusses what the experience taught him about his own fiction writing: "Things I Learned Judging the Arthur C. Clarke Award" at Medium.
At some point during reading those 113 books it occurred to me what a difficult thing writers are trying to do and just how many different things each author is trying to get right. It's not just character and plot and pace and tension, world-building, good dialogue, effective exposition, setting story questions and keeping story promises, it's also trying to get that motivating vision in your head down onto the page. Even a pretty ordinary book takes a lot of effort. If you assume each of those books took 6 months to write?—?and many would have taken more?—?that is 57 years of effort, not far from the entire productive life of a single person.
(5) THE WRITER'S EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER. A tweet from Annie Bellet.
Me at beginning of this book: how did I word even for like 17 books they were a fluke
Me toward end of this book: I am amazing this book will be amazing I love writing why don't I write 20 more things asap
Me during release week: this book will flop everyone has forgotten me

(6) READERCON PRUNES PROGRAM INVITE LIST. Several older, white male writers who have participated on Readercon's program in previous years have posted to Facebook over the past month that they have been notified they won't be on this year's program, or simply haven't received the expected invitation. There's no reason they have to be happy about it, and understandable if it triggers a bit of insecurity and resentment. However, the whiff of controversy around this development is not completely unlike Jon Del Arroz' certainty that politics were the real reason he was rotated off BayCon programming.
Allen Steele wrote on Facebook yesterday:
The other convention I've usually gone to in the past, but will no longer attend, is Readercon. I've been an invited guest since Readercon 2 (had to skip the first one because of a schedule conflict), and have attended most of the 36 previous conventions … and then last year, without any sort of notice or explanation, I wasn't invited. I was recovering from last year's pancreas operation, so I probably wouldn't have been able to show up anyway, but I wondered why nonetheless.
This year, I have an explanation … just not a good one. It appears, in an effort to be fair to young new writers, Readercon has been sending out form email letters to older authors such as myself (everyone known to have received the letter is male and above age 50), telling them that they've been dropped from the program participant list and therefore will not be invited guests.
Oh, we're still welcome to attend, if we pay the registration fee. In fact, because of our exalted former status, we're entitled to a 25% discount … if we go to a private registration site and enter the password (get this) PASTPRO.
So not only have we been told that we're not welcome to come as professionals, we're also being told that we're no longer professionals, period.
I haven't received the letter … but neither have I been invited. As I said, I wasn't invited last year either, nor was I ever offered a reason why. To their program chair, I sent a polite letter calmly explaining why the letter is demeaning, insulting, and for the convention disastrously short-sighted; the response I got was a "so sorry you feel that way" blow-off. This pretty much confirms that I've been cast into the outer darkness for being … well, let's not go there. And even if I'm not on the "past pro" list, I won't come to a convention that would treat my friends and colleagues this way.
I mention this because I usually see at Readercon quite a few people who follow this page. Sometimes they bring copies of my books so I can sign them, and they need to know in advance not to use valuable suitcase-space. Sorry, guys … this year, it's Boskone and the Hong Kong SF Forum only. At least those conventions still have respect for senior authors.
A month ago Ian Randall Strock said he got the letter and named two others who'd received it:
It seems Readercon has begun their apparently new tradition of uninviting past guests. Last year, it was Darrell Schweitzer. Today, I got the letter, as did Warren Lapine.
Anyone else get the email (under the subject line "Thank you for your service to Readercon") starting out "There's no easy way to say this, so I'll be straightforward: you won't be receiving an invitation to participate in programming for Readercon 29."?
Another thought occurs: are they only doing this to folks who are also dealers, thinking we'll be there anyway? I'll have to run the numbers to see if it's worth attending.
Readercon 29 takes place July 12-15 in Quincy, MA.

(10) ARE YOU SURPRISED? Mental Floss tempts readers with "16 Surprising Facts About Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451". Some are no more surprising than this —
BRADBURY DID NOT WRITE FAHRENHEIT 451 IN NINE DAYS.
A popular apocryphal story is that Bradbury hammered out Fahrenheit 451 in just over a week. That story is wrong: It was the 25,000-word "The Fireman" that he wrote in that time period. The author would later refer to the short story as "the first version" of the eventual novel. But over the years, he would often speak about "The Fireman" and Fahrenheit 451 interchangeably, which has caused some confusion.
HE WROTE HIS FIRST VERSION ON A RENTED TYPEWRITER IN A LIBRARY BASEMENT.
Bradbury and wife Marguerite McClure had two children in 1950 and 1951, and he was in need of a quiet place to write but had no money for renting an office. In a 2005 interview, Bradbury said:
"I was wandering around the UCLA library and discovered there was a typing room where you could rent a typewriter for 10 cents a half-hour. So I went and got a bag of dimes. The novel began that day, and nine days later it was finished. But my God, what a place to write that book! I ran up and down stairs and grabbed books off the shelf to find any kind of quote and ran back down and put it in the novel. The book wrote itself in nine days, because the library told me to do it."
HE SPENT $9.80 ON TYPEWRITER RENTAL.
Bradbury's nine days in the library cost him, by his own estimate, just under $10. That means he spent about 49 hours writing "The Fireman."
(11) NOT YOUR TYPICAL FLORIDA MAN STORY. From Futurism, "Florida Man Becomes First Person to Live With Advanced Mind-Controlled Robotic Arm".
Prosthetics have advanced drastically in recent years. The technology's potential has even inspired many, like Elon Musk, to ask whether we may be living as "cyborgs" in the not-too-far future. For Johnny Matheny of Port Richey, Florida, that future is now. Matheny, who lost his arm to cancer in 2005, has recently become the first person to live with an advanced mind-controlled robotic arm. He received the arm in December and will be spending the next year testing it out.
The arm was developed by Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab as part of their program Revolutionizing Prosthetics. The aim of the program, which is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), is to create prosthetics that are controlled by neural activity in the brain to restore motor function to where it feels entirely natural. The program is specifically working on prosthetics for upper-arm amputee patients. While this particular arm has been demoed before, Matheny will be the first person to actually live with the prosthesis. The program does hope to have more patients take the tech for a longterm test run, though.
(12) FROM SOMEWHERE BESIDES LAKE WOEBEGONE. Since the firing of Garrison Keillor A Prairie Home Companion has a new host and a new name – Cat Eldridge reviews "Live from Here, the show formerly known as APHC, hosted by Chris Thile" at Green Man Review.
… Where Kellior was the sedate, downbeat host who wanted you to be part of the Lake Woebegon community, Thile is more than a bit manic, bouncing around in delight apparently as he gets to interact with musicians and other folk who he obviously admires a lot. APHC put me to sleep, LFH is definitely designed to keep me actively listening.
Shovel & Rope, a really good Americana couple, is dok good a bluesy travel song as I listen this moment. (By now I'd usually have decided to turn Kellior off.) Some minutes later, Gabby Moreno is playing a very lively (I think) a Tex-Mex song. Need I say Thile is really excited like her being on Live from Here?
… I'm an hour in and still not even close to tuning out though the comedy riff just now was meh but I'm not a fan of most such comedy anyways. That segued into a very nice and quite tasty bit of jazzy music by Snarky Puppy which is enhanced by the production team cleverly positioning mics in the audience which is more than a bit raucous all show long which they really demonstrate when Chris musically deconstructs 'I'll Be There' in words and music….
(13) FAR SIDE OF THE KERFUFFLE. Most of the post is more abuse, so won't be excerpted here, but Vox Day hastened to say Foz Meadows won't be getting an apology from him: "I'll take 'things that will never happen'". He adds —
Third, Dave Freer didn't sic me on anyone about anything. I don't recall having any communication with him in years. I just checked my email and I haven't received even a single email from him since I set up my current machine in April 2016. Nor have I spoken to him.
(I'm not creating an Internet Archive page for this one so people can somehow feel okay about insisting on reading the insults.)
(14) COUGH IT UP. Add this contraption to the list of things science fiction never predicted: "When The Flu Hits Campus, The Gesundheit Machine Will Be Ready".
Those sick enough will get sent around the corner to a room with a crazy-looking, Rube-Goldberg-like contraption known as the Gesundheit machine.
For half an hour, the student sits in the machine. As the student breathes, the machine collects whatever virus they've got from the droplets in their breath.
The researchers will then use the student's contacts to try to figure out how infections spread from person to person: "roommates, study buddies, girlfriends and boyfriends," Milton says. "We're going to swab them every day for a week to see if they get infected."
If the student's contacts get infected, researchers will try to pin down whether they got the bug from the original subject or someone else.
"We're going to deep sequence the genetic code of the agent to see if it was really exactly the same thing," Milton explains. He's aware that confirming that your roommate gave you a horrible flu could ruin some perfectly nice relationships, but it's for science.
(15) MELTING, MELTING. BBC tells how "Space lasers to track Earth's ice".
Ice is the "climate canary". The loss, and the rate of that loss, tell us something about how global warming is progressing.
In the Arctic, the most visible sign is the decline of sea-ice, which, measured at its minimum extent over the ocean in September, is reducing by about 14% per decade.
At the other pole, the marine floes look much the same as they did in the earliest satellite imagery from the 1960s, but land ice is in a negative phase.
Something on the order of 160 billion tonnes are being lost annually, with most of that mass going from the west of the White Continent.
(16) STAR WARS MEETS PETER RABBIT. Daisy Ridley is still a rebel. And a rabbit.

Lapine Closing Fantastic Stories of the Imagination
Warren Lapine, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, has announced he will stop publishing Fantastic Stories of the Imagination. The January issue will be the magazine's final regular issue, and the "People of Color Take Over" issue will be its last issue.
Lapine revived the title in 2014 and according to Internet SF Database has produced nine issues in three years. He said in his statement:
I'm really proud of the body of work that we produced at Fantastic. There are a number of reasons that now is the timefor me to close the webzine. According to my projection, it'll take more than five years for Fantastic to become self sustaining, and I simply don't feel that that is a reasonable time frame.
I had planned to stick it out another year, but my personal life has made that much more difficult. Last month my daughter's house burned down and she and her family are staying with us while we try to sort everything out with an insurance company that doesn't want to pay; and this month my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. Right now, I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread. In addition to Fantastic Stories, I also run Wilder Publications, which turns a profit and has a number of employees and contract workers. I'm faced with the reality that I need to trim something out of my life, and Fantastic Stories makes the most sense.

Realms of Fantasy — It's Alive!
Posted on November 9, 2010 by Mike Glyer
Here's why fantasy is more fun than reality. Realists would have believed we'd seen the last of Realms of Fantasy once Warren Lapine announced he was closing it because of the prohibitive investment required to continue. Throughout history print magazines have fallen faster than autumn leaves, and in real life autumn leaves do not climb back on the tree.
It was easy to overlook that Lapine's announcement included a wishful offer to "sell Realms to a responsible party for $1.00 and give them the finished files for the December issue." But guess what? Wishes can come true: SF Scope reports Realms has been bought by Damnation Books:
Warren Lapine, publisher of Realms of Fantasy, and Kim Richards Gilchrist, CEO and co-owner of Damnation Books LLC announce the sale of Realms to Damnation Books LLC Damnation Books.
The just-concluded deal will see the December 2010 issue produced in print (as opposed to the previous announcement, which expected it to be an electronic-only final issue). The new owners will begin their tenure with the February 2011 issue, meaning there will be no gap in the bi-monthly magazine's publication schedule. All subscriptions already paid for will be honored.
The new proprietors say:
Future plans include continuing to produce the same quality fiction magazine in print and to expand digital editions for ebook and desktop readers. The April 2011 issue will be themed 'dark fantasy' to coincide with World Horror Convention 2011 where Damnation Books will be hosting a party, and a booth in the dealer's area.

Lapine Folds Realms of Fantasy
Posted on October 19, 2010 by Mike Glyer
Publisher Warren Lapine is closing Realms of Fantasy and Dreams of Decadence magazines.
In his farewell he says about his attempt to bring back RoF:
I invested more than $50,000.00 of my own money into reviving this magazine. I tried every traditional method I could think of to increase the circulation, but nothing worked. I also spent a great deal of money trying nontraditional methods. I advertised online with Google and Facebook, neither of which came close to covering their costs. And we created DRM-free electronic versions of the magazine to see if that would help increase our circulation. Sadly, the DRM-free versions never sold more than twenty five copies per issue, and the Kindle editions sold fewer still.
The staff had completed all work on the December issue in hopes of continuing, and that issue may be posted at their website for subscribers to download.

The Politically Correct Constitution
Posted on June 11, 2010 by Mike Glyer
Wilder Publications disclaimer text.
We've found out what the Tree of Liberty is fertilized with.
FOXNews reports that Wilder Publications, a print-on-demand operation, adds a warning to its paperbound reprints of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Paine's Common Sense, the Articles of Confederation, and the Federalist Papers telling readers that "This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today."
Fans ordinarily are just as divided over FOXNews as the country at large, but many have been fascinated by network coverage of the Wilder Publications controversy because the imprint is owned by Warren Lapine, someone well-known in the sf field.
Wilder Publications, which mainly offers non-genre works, is a venture Lapine started following the disintegration of his sf & fantasy magazine empire in 2007. Among the casualties was Science Fiction Chronicle, sold to Lapine years earlier by founder Andrew Porter, and Porter greeted news of Lapine's 2009 return to sf publishing with a suggestion that the story be headlined "Sauron Not Dead After All."
In the wake of the latest controversy a Facebook page has been created to encourage people to boycott of Wilder Publications. And a number of bloggers have called for people to put the heat on Amazon.com, presumed to be a significant market for Wilder.
While I agree with those who feel it's silly to add disclaimers to historic texts warning about their lack of political correctness, the publisher must have taken this step with serious intent. The warning doesn't read like satire. And that makes me curious about the thought process — it could easily have a Queegian geometric logic of its own. After all, in this country history increasingly is viewed without context — think of all the bloggers who claim to be shocked to discover that Abraham Lincoln's racial views weren't proper for a 21st century politician. Might Lapine have imagined product liability claims being filed against the publisher of a document that perpetuates the slave trade?

Here are ten developments of interest to fans:
(1) The original graphic novel The Last Dragon by Jane Yolen will be published by Dark Horse in 2010. "The action-fantasy, with art by Rebecca Guay, will join other titles that the publisher says have successfully attracted a large young female audience."
(2) Book-A-Minute offers the ultracondensed Lucifer's Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
(3) The April issue of Apex Magazine will be edited by Michael A. Burstein: "Ever since we published Michael's collection I Remember the Future, we've been hoping that Michael could find the time to edit an issue," said Jason Sizemore, publisher and editor-in-chief of Apex Magazine.
(4) Follow this link to "Wrath of Khan – The Opera as performed on the Cartoon Network/Adult Swim program Robot Chicken.
(5) Viz Media is launching Haikasoru, a new science fiction imprint that will bring the best in Japanese science fiction and fantasy to English-speaking audiences.
(6) For this SF Scope story about the return of Warren Lapine, Andrew Porter says he would have preferred the headline "Sauron Not Dead After All."
(7) Sam J. Miller's blog has lots of insightful analysis about sf on television, including Lost and Battlestar Galactica:
Watching Lost last night, after the initial euphoria died down, I realize – I don't trust these people. I love the show a ton, I really do, but there's something about Lost that makes me feel like the producers are used car salesmen trying to rush me through a shiny showroom so I won't notice how flimsy and cheap all the merchandise is.
(8) There are big cuts at Publishers Weekly. Among those on the chopping block are Sara Nelson, editor-in chief since 2005, and Daisy Maryles, executive editor, who had been with the magazine for more than four decades. Andrew Porter says, "Daisy Maryles always helped me a lot when I was doing my SF/Fantasy at the ABA guides."
(9) BookViewCafe.com has been invited to participate in New York Review of Science Fiction's monthly reading series. On Tuesday, February 3, BVC members will be reading at the NYRSF's new meeting place, 12 Fulton Street in the South Street Seaport in New York City. Scheduled to be on hand include Laura Anne Gilman, Susan Wright, and Sue Lange.
(10) New Zealand's 2010 Natcon, Au Contraire, will be held in Wellington August 27-29, the weekend before Aussiecon 4, to accommodate fans travelling "down under." Australian SF Bullsheet recommends visitors to Wellington at that time of year bring sturdy shoes and wet-weather gear.

Okay, can we get conservative parents to take a step back, draw in a deep breath, and come to grips with reality? No? I should've figured.
Anyway, the news today is reporting a story about a group of Boulder High School students who started a band. They were planning to sing Bob Dylan's "Masters of War". Some parents who saw the rehearsal became concerned, thinking that the kids were threatening to kill President Bush. So they called a local radio station talk show to complain. (Ugh). From there, somehow, the story got to the Secret Service, who came out to investigate.
"Some people are upset that students and teachers are allowed to put up such a performance, and some say the high school students are being manipulated by the adults. | {

Q: Hibernate configuration for BLOB and CLOB to support both Oracle and Postgres Our project needs to support both Oracle and Postgres Dbs. And there may be more databases added to this list. So need a DB agnostic Hibernate configuration for BLOB and CLOB datatypes.
While Oracle was working fine with:
@Lob
@Column(name="column1")
private String str;
@Lob
@Column(name="column2")
private byte[] bytea;
Postgres started complaining with the same.

Researched and found that people are suggesting annotating with @Type( type = "org.hibernate.type.StringClobType" ) and @Type( type = "org.hibernate.type.BinaryType" ). Both of which are Hibernate Annotations. However, we intend to use JPA annotations and this would need Hibernate at runtime, which seems to me as unnecessary.
So my question is if there is a way to handle BLOBs and CLOBs in a very generic way, which would not require us to branch codes for different DBs and without adding Hibernate specific annotations. Also, we do not use hibernate for table creation.
Postgres version- 9.4-1201-jdbc41
Oracle Version - 12.1.0.1
Hibernate Version -4.3.10.Final
A: Since I got no other answers from here, I thought I will post what I have done to solve my problem, which may help others.
Since we were not creating tables with Hibernate, I read somewhere that hibernate/jpa would be able to convert the fields into appropriate types without the @Lob annotation. Ex.- for postgres into text and for oracle into BLOB for a field of type byte[].
Tried that and worked for both Postgres and Oracle. :)

The use of internet has become increasingly important in daily lives to stay connected with the world. Social media has emerged as a popular platform for self expression, promotion and communication. In the initial days, these sites acted as a facilitator for use of information. But in recent years, many cases have emerged that signifies the need to control online identity leak. The following report is carried with the purpose of gaining understanding on the purpose and goals of social media presence and usage by different identities. An attempt is also made to analyze the challenges and issues associated with the online engagement. Additionally, strategies and opportunities are also discussed for overcoming the risk. Furthermore, strategic means of online sites and tools will be analyzed to help users with safe and control usage.
The purpose and goals of social media presence and usage that applies to a Finance professional employed in the Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) department in UK must be appropriate and involve differentiation based on the usage. Further, the usage of social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Linked In is categorized into three types - personal, official and professional (Mathur, 2012). The personal usage simply refers to activities and comments that does not relates with the professional and official means. The difference between professional and official usage is that professional is related with the expression of feelings in personal capacity. While, official is related with the engagement and activities as finance official of the department (Scott, Peter and Jacka, 2011).
Social media presents the unique characteristic of media in comparison with traditional means. The speed and scope defines that once the content is posted, it is available instantly to mass audience and will remain forever. Also, it can be noted that usage of social media has evolved and increased because of the multiple tools that are free of charge or available at a very low cost. The relatively easy usage of tools and its high interaction with the public makes it difficult to control the content (Wankel, 2010). Further, the usage of social media as a Finance Consultant requires a discrete line of difference for personal, professional and official purpose. It is because the unique features of social media mentioned above are vulnerable to pose issues and challenges in online participation.
There could be ethical challenges as risk of maintaining integrity of HMRC. It refers the situation when finance consultant behaves in an irresponsible way on social media account of the department (Kaplan and Haenlein, 2010). It can be understood as when any user posted negative remarks on the fan page of the department and in response to it, the consultant uses offensive language. This undermines the commitment and integrity of the organisation to maintain ethical practice and violates the department's principles of behaviour.
The finance consultant can also post negative comments about the HMRC on its personal social media profile (Kietzmann and et. al., 2011).
The consultant can also reveal confidential information about the department or new regulations.
Social media tools are also used for promotion purposes whether for self or others. The finance consultant can use the official site for self promotion or others.
The consultant may find it difficult to balance between official and professional expression on social media sites (Duhe and Sandra, 2007).
The HMRC is linked with several other government departments through social media for the purpose of its responsibilities and duties. It may happen that while representing the department, the consultant may take crucial matters in his own hands and used social media to defame the reputation of other departments.
The consultant may act as whistle blower and social media to uncover the unethical matters related with the department (Asur and Huberman, 2010).
In order to address the ethical challenges of social media, it is important that HMRC must address the risk and take actions to counteract it. The department can introduce a policy that governs the usage of social media for official purposes. The policy must be consistent with ethical and communication policies of department (Gilbert and Karahalios, 2009). It is required that policy includes three main areas - the usage of social media for official purposes. This includes communication policies and manners and most importantly prior confirmation with the higher authority for any information. The second area covers the use of social media for official purpose. As a financial consultant, the employee can express views and make recommendations about the professional experience and knowledge of finance and tax. The third area provide guidance about the usage for personal purpose (Shirky, 2011).
Security Standards and Policies - The department is recommended to develop a guidance policy and have it signed by all the employees. The policy covers the us of internet at work, access to social media tools, behavioural standards for communication on official account (Correa, Hinsley and De Zuniga, 2010).
Monitor - The department must have a monitoring body and employees must be aware that their every action on internet is recorded and failure to comply with rules and guideline of department's policy will result in strict disciplinary actions or dismissal from the duties (Culnan, McHugh and Zubillaga, 2010).
Limited Access - The employees at HMRC would only be allowed to access social media site during break time. There are software available that restrict or limit usage for few computers only.
Education and Training - At HMRC, the finance consultant must be trained for official use of social networking tools. The consultant may not be aware about the procedure and guidelines or security issues for official usage. An important thing in this concern is the secrecy of login credentials (Hessinger, 2013). Alternatively, the consultant must learn the usage of language in terms of vocabulary and behaviour while responding to queries and comments of other departments and general public. Additionally, the consultant also aware of the suspicious links and pay attention when anybody asks for any in-depth details about the functions or members of the department (Scott, Peter and Jacka, 2011).
Balance Between Official, Profession and Personal - The consultant ensures that personal and professional usage of social networking tools at workplace must be restricted or limited, so that contents must not collide or mistaken among the identities (Mathur, 2012).

Uber picks Melbourne in flying plan
posted June 12, 2019 at 07:40 pm by AFP
Washington―Uber on Tuesday selected Melbourne, Australia, as the first non-US city for its aerial ride-sharing service that is expected to launch in 2023, as it unveiled new partners for the ambitious initiative.
Melbourne was named the third official pilot city for Uber Air, joining Dallas and Los Angeles. Test flights are to start in 2020 with commercial operations planned for 2023.
The news came at the Uber Elevate Summit in Washington, where the California-based ride-hailing giant offered new details on its vision for flying taxis as a way to ease traffic congestion and improve urban mobility.
The Bell Nexus concept 'flying car' is shown at the Uber Elevate summit in Washington, DC on June 11, 2019, one of several that will make up a fleet of electric aircraft Uber expects to deploy by 2023. Uber on June 11 selected Mebourne, Australia, as the first non-US city for its aerial ridesharing service expected to launch in 2023 as it unveiled new partners for the ambitious initiative. AFP
"Australian governments have adopted a forward-looking approach to ride-sharing and future transport technology," said Susan Anderson, Uber's manager for the region that includes Australia.
"This, coupled with Melbourne's unique demographic and geospatial factors, and culture of innovation and technology, makes Melbourne the perfect third launch city for Uber Air. We will see other Australian cities following soon after."
Since first announcing its plan for shared aerial transport, Uber has been adding new partners and details for the initiative.
This week, Uber announced it was adding new aircraft partners to the program, including Pennsylvania-based Jaunt Air Mobility, which will produce a rotor- and fixed-wing light aircraft.
Uber also revealed and air taxi cabin design in collaboration with French engineering group Safran.
"Together with Safran Cabin, we've designed for the first time in history, a bespoke aircraft cabin that is truly mission-driven for aerial ride-sharing on Uber Air," said John Badalamenti, Uber Elevate's head of design.
Uber also displayed the concept Bell Nexus flying quadcopter vehicle unveiled this year, expected to be part of the Uber fleet, and new designs for its "skyports" that will make up the network for the aircraft.
Air rides 'for masses'
The Uber Air service is designed to work in tandem with Uber's car service as a "multimodal" option that helps speed passengers to their destinations.
The aerial option will be included on the Uber smartphone app that will include ground and air transportation and pool travelers into one aircraft.
Uber last week announced a first step toward the aerial ride-share program, a helicopter service to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport from lower Manhattan.
Uber chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi said earlier Tuesday that the helicopters will eventually be replaced "by a generation of electrically powered vertical takeoff and landing vehicles."
Khosrowshahi said Uber's large user base can help stimulate demand for aerial ride-sharing.
"We want to get the industry moving and designing these vehicles so that they can be available for urban transportation," he said in an on-stage interview sponsored by the Economic Club of Washington.
He added that "we want a pricing of this service that will be available for the masses versus just the elites."
Eric Allison, head of Uber Elevate, told the conference the electric aircraft are "surprisingly efficient" and similar in cost to the standard UberX car service.
"It will be something like $6 per seat mile," Allison said. "We think we can do better than the price of UberX."

Search: ADHD exercise response accuracy "stimulus-related processing"
J Pediatr. 2013 Mar;162(3):543-51. doi: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2012.08.036. Epub 2012 Oct 17.
Exercise improves behavioral, neurocognitive, and scholastic performance in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Pontifex MB1, Saliba BJ, Raine LB, Picchietti DL, Hillman CH.
To examine the effect of a single bout of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on preadolescent children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using objective measures of attention, brain neurophysiology, and academic performance.
Using a within-participants design, task performance and event-related brain potentials were assessed while participants performed an attentional-control task following a bout of exercise or seated reading during 2 separate, counterbalanced sessions.
Following a single 20-minute bout of exercise, both children with ADHD and healthy match control children exhibited greater response accuracy and stimulus-related processing, with the children with ADHD also exhibiting selective enhancements in regulatory processes, compared with after a similar duration of seated reading. In addition, greater performance in the areas of reading and arithmetic were observed following exercise in both groups.
These findings indicate that single bouts of moderately intense aerobic exercise may have positive implications for aspects of neurocognitive function and inhibitory control in children with ADHD. | {

Local search is the use of specific Internet search engines that allow users to publish constrained searches that are geographically against an organized database of local listings. Google Maps (formerly Google Local) looks for local addresses mentioned in regular web pages. It supplies visitors, as well as maps and business listings with these results. Goods-specific search engines use techniques including focused web direct and crawling feeds to gather info about products for sale in a particular regional location.
What data should you provide for your business.
Typical local search questions comprise not just information about "what" the website customer is seeking for (for example keywords, a company category, or the title of a consumer item) but also "where" information, including a street address, city name, mail code, or geographic coordinates like latitude and longitude.
Several data use and modification is required in order for your business to appear on a local search. This combined with the use of different platforms will give the best results in bringing new customers to your business.
Your business must appear into local searches each time and this is exactly what Promoting Media did for us.
Thank you for your help. Now I see how simple was to focus on my business growth and get the results I wanted.
Local search that features outside or internal social signs might be regarded social local search pushed.
Several providers have been experimenting with supplying local search for mobile devices. Some of those are location aware. In America, Yahoo formerly ran an experimental voice-established locative service.
The most reliable solution to incorporate business advice that is neighborhood that is precise will be to assert business records through Google's, Yahoo!'s, or the individual local business centers of Bings.
In order to make sure that your business will be on the first local search google page, we will start with a keyword research.

McConnell Confronted By Anti-ICE Protesters [VIDEO] - Joe.My.God.
The interaction was captured on video and shared with Courier Journal. In it, someone asks McConnell, "Where are the children? Where are the babies, MItch?" — an apparent reference to the separation of children from families at the southern U.S. border. "What are you doing to get the babies back?" someone asks in the clip.
McConnell, wearing a green shirt tucked into blue jeans, isn't shown reacting or responding to the protesters. He walks past a sign for Bristol Bar & Grille, turns a corner and gets into a vehicle. | {

The rescue of Hawaii dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small domestic mammals, is critical to the well-being of these companions. This page is dedicated to providing rescue lists for all Hawaii pets. We thank all those people who give unselfishly to the saving and placement of the less fortunate, and we hope that any heartache you encounter is overwhelmed by the happiness you make.

> The Future of Decision-Making in the Workplace: Artificial Intelligence Managers in 2028 by Bonnie J. Stinson
What is the future of decision-making in the workplace? In 2018, employers are looking for more data and more control. Current trends include workplace surveillance and digitally-created psychological profiles of employees. AI is already entering workplaces; HireVue uses AI to help companies make decisions about compensation and who to hire. These companies rely on black box algorithms and deep learning to incentivize desirable personality traits, and employers hire them even though that process is fairly opaque. This puts workers at a huge disadvantage, unable to act with true agency in the workplace. On the one hand, algorithms can deny the workforce the opportunity to advocate for themselves. But on the other hand, algorithms can help ferret out unskilled and dangerous people in the workplace, helping to level the playing field by prioritizing diversity. Who would be rewarded in a 2028 workplace where AI is in charge, and how might they attempt to manipulate such a system?
According to a recent study from Deloitte, "more than 40% of employers world-wide have implemented artificial intelligence processes of some kind" (Moise 2018). These processes primarily use text-based analysis, but experts agree that the future of workplace AI will focus on facial expressions and voice tones. HireVue, used by Dunkin Donuts, IBM, and the Boston Red Sox, already incorporates facial analysis of micro-expressions during AI-conducted interviews, in which a single numeric score is generated for each applicant(Zetlin), similar to China's social credit rating system (Ma 2018). Additionally, Littler's 2018 Annual Employer Survey showed that 31 percent of respondents already use big data to make strategic and employee management decisions (Nagele-Piazza). Some reports predict that "by 2019, 40% of all digital transformation initiatives – and 100% of IoT initiatives – will be supported by AI capabilities" (Morris 2017).
But who runs these workplaces? The New York Timesrecently reported that "men named "John" outnumber women in positions in power across multiple fields" (Mercado 2018). The majority of current leadership positions are held by white men, leading to biased and limited decision-making. Companies have tried to solve this problem with algorithms. For example, because it is known that gender-blind and race-blind job applications result in more diverse hires, algorithms can be trained to ignore or counteract "Stacy" or "Ngozi" or "sorority" during a resume review (Rinne 2018). Many believe that AI would make better decisions than humans, due to the depth, rapidity, and logic of machine learning. Human managers of the future may likely hand off "logical" decision-making to machines to allow them to focus on more complex tasks like supporting a team, relationship building, and conflict resolution.
Specific implementations include Hitachi's robot boss, which has brought greater efficiency and productivity to their production floor, prompting journalists to explore whether "the absence of a human boss can enhance the productivity and overall employee morale in a workplace" (Ghosh). IBM's Watson is now utilizing AI to determine mood, with the ability to notify an employee after a client call that "he seems anxious and should take a break before his meeting" (Nicastro).
So, what will happen in the future, when AI technology is applied beyond 2018's basic interviews and morphs into AI-enabled cubicle cameras, AI-mediated dismissal and promotion decisions, AI-performance management, and even larger AI-managed investment or strategic partnership choices?
Let's take a step back. What traits does this generation (and the next) desire in their future workplaces? Will they code their AI managers to reflect those traits? Industry trends indicate that companies of the future want innovation, safety, emotional intelligence, and service orientation (Zambas). Pop culture and recent political elections corroborate the notion that in order to survive and flourish, we must embrace diversity, listen harder, and design better.
I imagine a future where our subservience to the algorithm becomes a powerful tool for equity. In a future where one's job depends on the performance of pleasantness, I argue that prestige could shift to historically marginalized groups like women and People of Color who have been socialized to perform emotional labor and politeness in order to survive under white supremacy and patriarchy. If the goal is a safe workplace, why would a logical algorithm choose to hire white men, who carry out the majority of mass shootings? (Mitchell 2018). If the goal is a workforce of emotionally intelligent, service-oriented people, women will be favored among job applicants.
Those currently in positions of power will surely resist. Political systems will either experience the friction necessary to incentivize useful, inclusive, and equitable policies, or political systems will begin to breakdown as people realize that governments and bureaucracies have no intention of meeting their needs. As a result, citizens will begin to locate their hopes and dreams outside of the ballot box, and explore how to build a new world outside of policy, in partnership with artificial intelligence.
In the IBM cubicle of 2028, where securely encrypted cameras feed facial expressions, tone, and body language to an AI boss, women are also the group best equipped to dupethese kinds of systems by performing desirable traits in order to please their AI managers and keep their jobs. Perhaps in the future, women will finally be able to flip the patriarchal script and profit from their socialization, becoming highly sought-after experts in reflective listening, emotional intelligence, and service-oriented leadership. Perhaps disenfranchised populations will rise to power and save us, all thanks to the "logic" of algorithms.
What is the future of decision-making in the workplace? It is a binary future we must resist at all costs. As we relegate mundane tasks to AI helpers, and rely on machine logic to dictate our future, I feel it is likely that our human ability to interpret data and make good decisions will wane. The good news is that marginalized people are the population best equipped to retain human agency, empathy, creativity, and cooperation. The bad news is that our machine overlords – and their CEO creators named John – don't see them as valuable. Yet.
In the next ten years, AI will either lead to the powerless claiming their power to force change, or result in a situation like my Artifact predicts: But when those in power finally get a dose of powerlessness and realize their own future depends on equity, too, will it be too late?
> On the Theming of Public Spaces: Towards Playful Citizenship by Bonnie J. Stinson
Could applying theme park design principles to public spaces lead to increased cross-community engagement, and thus more effective citizen problem solving?
ORIGINS OF THEME PARKS
The first theme parks were places for people to marvel at the grotesque and bizarre: World's Tallest Man! (Grande), and they created strong communities among their physically and socially marginalized performers. But as medical knowledge advanced, and the public became aware that "freaks" had real medical conditions and diagnoses, these shows became seen as gaudy and unsavoury. In the mid- to late-1800s, the World's Fair shifted the trajectory of the attractions industry, moving beyond simple showcasing of peculiarity to an exposition model of displaying themed inventions and industry objects. The Industrial Revolution led to an increase in wages (and income inequality), and people with disposable income sought novel ways to spend it. At the same time, Coney Island was founded to provide amusement for poor and rich alike.
Into the early and mid-1900s, a maturing film industry alongside new technological innovations in communication created a truly global market for stories. With many Western countries mired in war and struggling with economic depression, people wanted stories that entertained and inspired. Production studios and industry grew savvy to the potential of mass media and employed fictional – and often nationalistic – stories to reach huge audiences with story-related products (Murray). The first superhero comics appeared during the Great Depression and throughout World War II, and, in 1955, at the peak of white flight and the emergence of American suburban culture, Disneyland opened its doors. Since 1955, more than 600 million people have visited the park, with an average annual attendance at Disney World of 52 million.
ENTERTAINMENT & CULTURAL GEOGRAPHY
As the world's largest and most influential collection of theme parks, Disney's design choices set the standard for the industry. Theme park designs are directly derived from the city planning methods in use at the time of the park's development. Disneyland uses an "architecture of reassurance" (Cunningham 118) modeled after American suburbs. But after Disneyland was built and launched, experts in community development grew increasingly aware that the protected and bordered suburban life came with plenty of problems: "cultural homogeneity, mind-numbing public and private architecture, and familial/personal dysfunctionality" (Cunningham 113). Popular opinion then moved towards New Urbanism, which aims to "create a feeling of local identity"and is created by intentionally blending diverse groups of people in the same walkable, mixed-use neighbourhood (Cunningham 118). But the entertainment industry, mostly built environments, was slow to catch on. Most parks continued to adhere to older principles of design, creating a trickle-down loyalty from older generations to new.
With the arrival of the Internet and exponentially more powerful computers, the 1980s and 1990s saw a fundamental shift in the nature of mass entertainment. Whereas amusement had been limited to a particular location, online gaming, text-based storytelling, and virtual reality opened up new possibilities for storytelling. These powerful yet enigmatic innovations rattled the public's understanding of identity and participation, and warped existing models of gaming, gambling, journalism, and politics. Young people suddenly had access to stories, tools, and worlds beyond the reach of many people in older generations; their participation and identities shaped the interactivity and principles of emerging new media. Modern production studios caught on, and eagerly combined big data with behavioural psychology to deliver a power punch of profit.
By the end of the 1990s, the attractions industry had undergone a critical change in function. Traditional theme parks located beloved popular stories within simulated planned communities, planting opportunities for consumerism along the way. But by 2000, attractions bypassed simple nostalgia and entered the age of imaginative and immersive world-building. The Harry Potterseries introduced a visual universe to billions of people, creating the world's largest fandom. And in order to remain relevant and competitive, amusement centers responded to fans. They introduced bottom-up designs using multisensory stimulation and emotional persuasion borrowed from film and gambling.
By 2001, the dot com bubble had burst, and a recession was on the horizon, but casino culture continued to steadily rise (Goodman). Persuasive design was no longer shady and implicit, but rather explicitly de mode: a celebrated feature of technology, not a shameful tactic. With the official launch of Facebook in 2005, persuasive design began to pervade all new media, extending greater social permission for other games and parks to use these tactics.
PERSUASION, PUBLICS & PEACE
Contemporary thinking in theme park design has evolved beyond mimicking suburban 1950s planned communities. Now, designers tempt profit by utilizing gaming principles to produce experiences that highlight nuance and diversity, prolong engagement, and invite imagination. Design strategies include variable rewards(Lewis), the five planes of player experience(Ferrara 291), uncertainty, absorption (Higgins), and multisensory embodied play (Reijnders, Waysdorf). Parks have learned to revere rather than reject fandom, observing that fictional worlds, by design, speak to a certain public (Warner). When people identify themselves as part of a public by entering a theme park environment, that space becomes particularly "welcoming and special. Being in the park not only means being surrounded by the narrative world but also being surrounded by this community" (Reijnders, Waysdorf). Designers now know that safety and inclusion can be profitable.
But cutting-edge theorists caution against the cultural trend toward gamification, a favoured technique among many civic and entertainment bodies, such as Ontario's Carrot Rewards program. Experts say that the game itself has more merit than any "strip-mined" gamification could ever offer: games persuade, simulate real environments, accelerate learning, and facilitate cooperative experiences (Ferrara 293). Theme parks have transformative power specifically because they have boundaries and rules, enabling players to explore new ways of being within a level of acceptable risk. Parks are a "framework to imagine potentialities and alternatives" (Reijnders, Waysdorf 177). There is a "core assumption…that visitors would like to intensify and bring a favorable experience into their real lives" (Dong, Siu).
So if games are a hypothesis, and play is evidence (Ferrara 299), what implications could that have on civic problem solving and potential policy development? Playback theatre has attempted to unite these ideas by using trained actors to help people in conflict situations to act out, pause, replay, and try out different actions until a preferred outcome is achieved. This corroborates the concepts above, that there is power in communities with a shared identity coming together to imagine new worlds.
In the field of conflict resolution, most experts agree that successful mediation utilizes "cognitive-historical pathways" (Lejano). In situations with two opposing "sides", this means that each side 1) affirms self-identity, 2) explores joint-identity, and 3) considers what a common identity might mean for the future (Lejano 574). When the conflict is related to territory, as in the two Koreas, a popular solution is a peace park which creates a neutral buffer zone, but this plays into the idea that physical proximity only exacerbates conflict. This 'rational' perspective also limits the concept of peace to a state-actor perspective. Another way is the model of care, which posits that peace parks function because people act in "coherence with the web of relationships," not because of "clear lines of authority or the pursuit of individual interest." In this model, peace is achieved when the identities of individual and community-actors shiftin accordance with a new understanding of their relationship to other players. The space of the park becomes a "template upon which a complex web of relationships can evolve" (Lejano 576). The park is inscribed as "a moral 'contract' written not on parchment, but in terms of place."
My hypothesis: If we apply theme park design principles to public spaces, it could lead to increased cross-community engagement, and thus more effective citizen problem solving.
Studies demonstrate that shared space helps resolve conflict when 1) a new joint identity is forged among players, and 2) when the space acts as a guide for developing a web of relationships. Whether explicitly given to peace activities like in Cyprus, or whether functionalist like the Jordanian & Israeli co-operated Red Sea Marine Park, both naturally facilitate peace because opposing parties practice imagining themselves into a joint future.
When these players gather in shared spaces, we can use theme park design principles to heighten and improve they ways they imagine and simulate a new reality. Game design studies prove that participants are more positive and engaged inside highly immersive, nuanced, and emotionally engaged experiences. Modern theme parks prove this as well, succeeding by balancing the delightful uncertainty of fictional worlds with the safety and boundaries of a well-managed classroom. Theme parks bring together diverse people around a common unrelated interest, and forge or strengthen that new identity through prolonged experiences of a simulated world.
I want to combine these principles to create immersive and realistically uncertain simulated civic environments for cross-community actors to accelerate problem solving ability and build joint identity through game play. My hypothesis is based on the conviction that citizen-actors have superior problem-solving ability over state-actors, and that simulated environments are better than real environments at providing cross-community citizen-actors with a safe interface in which to develop a powerful web of relationships under the model of care in conflict resolution. If we use persuasive design principles and worldbuilding techniques to make public spaces attractive and engaging, we can develop areas that bring together diverse communities and produce a web of relationships that will efficiently guide communities toward peaceful, citizen-led solutions to conflict.
Happy to hear from others on this topic!
> Evaluating the Success of Interactive Queue Technology in Satisfying Multigenerational Guest Groups by Bonnie J. Stinson
Interactive queues can be hit-or-miss with theme park visitors. Those who tend to love them are typically younger audiences or people with an appreciation for technology. Diehard purists tend to hate them. These queues are designed to serve two purposes: firstly, they bring guests intimately closer to the IP, and secondly, they help make a long waiting line seem shorter (Ledbetter).
The queue design process has many challenges, no matter how digitally interactive it will be. For instance, how do you ensure that essential safety information is communicated appropriately? How do you design it for non-English speakers? How do you keep guests of all demographics engaged? How do you design for multigenerational groups, so that grandmothers and pre-teens can enjoy it together? And how do you design for the incessant presence of mobile devices, while also maintaining the all-important social dynamic of a theme park queue?
In particular, interactive queues amplify some of these design obstacles. Consumer blogs and industry experts indicate two overarching challenges for interactive queues. Firstly, how do you meet consumer expectations for the look and feel of an IP whilst incorporating cutting edge technology? Whether updating the queue for a beloved older ride or selecting appropriate technology to match the IP in a new ride, it can be challenging to keep fans of different generations happy and engaged. And secondly, how do you ensure that people with different physical abilities (blind, deaf, or using a mobility device) can enjoy the queue at the same level as other guests?
These questions are especially relevant because most theme park visitor groups are multigenerational (Niles). This is a good test group because older and younger visitors encompass varying physical abilities, as well as different expectations and capacities to participate in interactive activities.
Today's best interactive queues fall into one of four categories of interactivity: (1) tangible interactions within the queue, affecting either the immediate queue environment or the ride itself (e.g., Seven Dwarfs Mine Train; Big Thunder Mountain; Haunted Mansion); (2) immersive and embodied experiences (e.g., Avatar Flight of Passage); (3) queue-less interactivity, typically when guests flow through different themed holding areas (e.g., Jimmy Fallon's Race Through New York); and (4) activities on mobile devices, either single-player or multiplayer, either affecting the immediate environment or simply as entertainment (e.g., Toy Story Land; Soarin'). Tangible and embodied interactions, when used in combination with a compelling IP and well-designed queue, seem to be the most successful in engaging multigenerational guests.
This blog post evaluates how interactive queues help bridge the physical and digital worlds in a way that satisfies a multigenerational group of theme park visitors. I see a trend toward tangible and embodied interactions, so I will focus on those interactive technologies. Specifically, I will analyze their effectiveness in three queues — Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Haunted Mansion, and Toy Story Midway – to see how they satisfy multigenerational theme park visitors.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train: Tangible and Embodied Interactions for All Ages
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is an updated ride in Disneyworld. The original ride, Snow White's Scary Adventures, was selected to be revamped when Disneyworld renovated Fantasyland. The new ride opened in 2014, building on a few of the old ride's elements and still identifiable as inspired by the original Walt Disney breakout film, Snow White(1937). The ride itself presents a family-friendly runaway mine train story, using an open coaster, animatronics, and both outdoor and indoor show scenes (Levine).
The queue for Mine Train contains three notably interactive activities. The first is a series of ungated and uncaptioned tabletop screens grouped together. It's a screen-based jewel swapping game that uses tangible interactions to get guests touching and swiping to match and collect gemstones. A complete interaction can take up to 10 seconds and needs minimal explanation to understand. The second interactive activity is a set of water spigots with wooden animal heads, where passing your hand beneath a spigot produces a shot of water, light, and music. People of most any height can reach the spigots, and no complicated gesture is needed. Any motion is registered, and a simple tone is produced for touching just a single spigot. Latency is near zero, which helps guests easily understand the functionality and thus explore the spigots beyond their initial test. Thirdly, there is a group of spinnable wooden barrels mounted on the floor, filled with glittering jewels. When spun, each barrel projects the image of a character onto the ceiling. Small children are able to move a barrel, and no special movements or coordination is required.
The activities clearly succeed in satisfying guests from different age groups because they require minimal explanation, minimal physical strength, minimal comprehension of the movie plot, and minimal coordination or intellectual processing. To those who are familiar with the original story, each activity fits delightfully into the narrative of a dwarven mine full of beautiful treasures. Activities is easily discoverable by observing other guests, and the interfaces are accessible to people with zero understanding of technology, even though the actual technology is modern and complex.
Overall, the Mine Train queue accomplishes the primary goals of an interactive queue while also satisfying multigenerational guest groups. Its activities bring guests closer to the IP by allowing them to physically interact with props and characters. It accurately foreshadows the tone and style of the upcoming attraction, which balances nostalgic Snow White moments with cutting edge technology like projection mapping expressions onto animatronic figures. Finally, the queue successfully invites multigenerational guests to collaborate, socialize, and explore, achieving the primary goal of turning wait-time into play-time and reducing perception of queue length for guests of different age groups.
Haunted Mansion: Tangible & Sound-Based Interactions
At Disneyworld and in multiple Disneylands, there is a beloved attraction called Haunted Mansion, the first iteration of which opened in 1969. It experiences a seasonal boost in popularity in autumn and winter, when the park creates special events around the attraction. The Disneyworld attraction is based on the story of the Ravenswoods, "a family of Western settlers who struck it rich during the gold rush and were later affected by a series of mysterious demises." The queue and ride present a tour through the haunted mansion, where ghosts appear, and a murder must be solved. The queue was most recently updated in 2011 to incorporate more interactive technology.
Queue activities range from obscure and intellectual to obvious and tangible, all themed within an ostensible cemetery. A collection of busts contains poetry with clues about the mysterious murder. A "musical mausoleum" or "composer crypt" presents a large and sturdy panel resembling a tombstone, which invites guests passing by to touch various carved instruments to generate haunted music. An organ nearby plays music when the keys are pressed but playing too long results in a puff of water mist directed at the player. Another mausoleum in the queue belongs to the character Prudence Pock, a writer who died of writer's block. On her tomb, various carved books pop out of their shelves and guests can push them back into their slots. Her ghost recites unfinished poetry from within her tomb, and visitors can speak into microphones to help complete her poems. As the queue reaches the building, guests enter the show portion of the attraction, including several rooms that use theatrical effects and technology to introduce the plot and tone of Haunted Mansion.
Creating a family-friendly attraction with a haunted theme is indeed a design challenge, and this attraction relies profoundly on sonic devices to convey the story of Haunted Mansion. This is true not only within the queue but also throughout the attraction itself. This fits with the wise and longstanding method of telling a good scary story, which wisely prioritizes sound effects over visuals to frighten audiences (blood curdling screams, horses whickering). Imagined horrors are always scarier than those we can see. Sound-based storytelling has the added benefit of reducing the need for fancy and expensive visuals, which aligns with Haunted Mansion's plotline in Victorian times, when parlor tricks and sound effects often sufficed to produce a spooky story, sans the cutting-edge technology of 2019.
Unfortunately, because many of Haunted Mansion's interactive queue activities rely primarily on sound, they exclude a large portion of guests. The only non-sonic activity is the family of busts with mysterious poetry, which young children who cannot read (and non-English speakers) will not comprehend. For the sonic interactions, young people may have trouble following the Victorian accents and meter of Prudence Pock's poetry. Older adults may be confused by the functionality of the musical mausoleum and struggle to fully create music. An unacceptable oversight of this design is that deaf and hard of hearing guests will experience less than half the interactivity available to other hearing guests in the queue.
Otherwise, tangible and sound-based interactions can be very discoverable by virtue of their obviousness. That is to say, guests who are further back in the queue can observe someone touching a carved trumpet and understand they can do the same. Sound which is multidirectional can help spark guests' curiosity about an upcoming interaction, even when they can't see it yet. For instance, you can hear the sound of Prudence Pock's voice before you arrive at her tomb. The technology here is almost too hidden to be enjoyed, since guests have no mental model of speaking to a ghost in a tomb to guide this interactive activity.
Overall, the Haunted Mansion queue does succeed in entertaining multigenerational guests by utilizing tangible and sound-based interactions. A major success is the alignment between queue theming and ride theming, both of which reflect a comedic and Victorian air of horror and mayhem, communicated primarily via sound and theatrical effects. The queue interactions generally need minimal explanation, muscle power, or technological savvy. There is an opportunity to improve accessibility for non-hearing guests, as well as to improve discoverability for the very old or very young who do not have the mental framework to understand cutting-edge sonic interactions. The future of sonic interactions in theme park queues is still coming to maturity.
Toy Story Mania!: Mobiles Devices and the Immersive Power of Nostalgia
Opened in 2008, this attraction is interactive in every nook and cranny, from queue to coaster. This attraction wavers slightly from this paper's mandate to explore only queues, as Toy Story Mania's primary interactivity is located within the ride itself. Toy Story Mania! is one of Disney's most technologically complex (and most expensive) attractions (Burkett). Styled after carnival rides, guests are offered 3D glasses and toured through multiple interactive virtual game environments on screens that feature Toy Story characters. Each game presents a real opportunity for guests to affect gameplay, sometimes within the game or in an upcoming game, although the Easter eggs are not easily discoverable on site. A scoreboard screen displays the tally within the vehicle for riders to see. Overall, the design and interactivity of this attraction aligns excellently with the IP, and it presents accessible opportunities for multigenerational guests to engage with activities.
A major highlight of the queue is an audio-animatronic Mr. Potato Head, who entertains guests by singing and speaking to them, occasionally identifying specific guests by their clothing. Oversized game pieces from nostalgic childhood games are strewn throughout the queue, like Uno's Wild Cards, the Candyland gameboard, and even an Etch-a-Sketch. Unfortunately, these items are purely decorative. Disney's real triumph in recent years is the Play Disney Parks app, which capitalizes on the ubiquitous presence of mobile devices to create themed interactive experiences throughout the entire park. Visitors waiting in the Toy Story Mania! queue can fire up the app and play branded games like Andy's Boardgame Blast! and Playset Party. It's a sly move by Disney, as very young children are already quite accustomed to being handed their parents' cellphones to provide entertainment when they are required to sit still for long periods.
Ultimately, the success of Toy Story Mania's queue is due to good theming and appropriate use of technology. For the majority of theme park guests, whether old or young, from America or from abroad — childhood is a fairly universally intelligible design scheme. You've either been the young child playing Uno at the cottage, or you've been the grandfather playing dominoes with the grandkids. The theming of the queue represents the crux of Toy Story, which celebrates the universal experience of make believe and toys coming to life. Because the queue is an ode to childhood, it works well for guests of all age groups.
In the design process for the Toy Story Queue, the Imagineers probably explored many cutting-edge technologies to creative interactivity. But relying on Disney's mobile application to provide an engaging experience seems to have been a very smart choice. Geolocation makes the experience seamless for guests and teaming up with new friends keeps the experience social rather than insular. According to the designers, "We were really going for more of a family game night vibe. These aren't just burying your nose in a device type of games. We don't want people just staring at a device when there is this amazing, spectacular place around them" (Sposato).
This queue manages to speak directly to multiple generations without complicating the design. Younger guests will be enchanted by the mobile interactivity options, which set the tone for the actual ride itself. But best of all, Toy Story Mania's physical theming is so thoughtfully done that imagination actually does the work for older guests, inspiring memories of childhood that help pass the time while they wait.
This post explored how three different attractions satisfy the need for multigenerational interactivity in queues. Successful methods of engagement include tangible and embodied interactions, sound-based interactions, and mobile gaming. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train excels by offering intuitive, tangible, mini-moments of interactivity that are easy for guests of all ages and technological skill level to understand and discover. Haunted Mansion incorporates tangible interactions and utilizes sound to help guide guests through each activity. While sound-based interactions can exclude the hard of hearing and non-English speaking audiences, they can be useful for illustrating story and interactivity guidelines for those who cannot read or who are easily overwhelmed in crowded queues, like the very young or very old. Finally, Toy Story Mania! combines mobile gaming with a spectacularly conceived design scheme that delights guests from all generations. Children, who are mostly already familiar with gaming on mobile devices, easily grasp the interface of the Play Disney Parks app. The queue of Toy Story Mania! doesn't offer older adults any tangible interactions, but instead chooses to spark emotion by highlighting childhood experiences with excellent installations of nostalgic games.
In the future, I anticipate a growing desire for tangible and embodied interaction, as well as increased geolocation and mobile phone interactions. Especially with the advent of augmented reality, technological expectations for universal entertainment will grow. We are already seeing this with recent news on Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, a land is said to "provide new opportunities for guests to engage with the land, like translating a galactic language, learning what's hidden inside crates and containers, and accomplishing certain tasks by participating in missions. This app will allow guests to interact with a variety of elements found around the land, including antenna arrays, door panels, drinking fountains, droids, media screens, and ships" (Sposato).
Theme parks know they must simultaneously meet the needs of multigenerational guest groups, including a toddler's first visit and a grandparents' fiftieth. When appropriately applied to an IP, and where inclusively designed, mini-moments of interactive technology are truly the best way to delight and entertain multigenerational guests within theme park queues.
> Reporting Back from My Field Trip to Orlando, Florida! by Bonnie J. Stinson
My intentions for the Florida field trip were to learn more about Universal's application of interactive technology in theme parks, and to observe real-world guest interactions with that technology. Queues are the most popular way to incorporate immersive technology, so I focused specifically on interactivity within queues. I was eager to see how theme parks are incorporating tangible media, wearable tech, multisensory design, and if they are building in ways that solicit user feedback. Additionally, the talk of the industry right now is Disney's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, which is supposed to set the bar for immersion and cutting-edge technology. I wanted to ask top Universal creatives how they plan to incorporate similar deep immersion where a guest's actions create consequences within the land, if gamification is part of their strategy, and how they design for pre/during/post visit interactivity using mobile devices and other interactive merchandise.
How do guests of different demographics actually behave in queues?
How are guests balancing the use of mobile devices with social interactivity in queues?
How do multisensory design and tangible media increase engagement?
What spaces or resources are available to guests with extra sensitivity to stimulation?
Do guests use wearable tech, and what purpose is it serving?
And what opportunities are there to improve upon existing practices?
DESIGN WORKFLOW
The creative team at Universal answered many of my questions about the design workflow for themed attractions. Firstly, it's not sexy to admit but all projects spring from a logistical requirement, like needing to make more money or satisfy a certain goal for guest capacity. Project ideas are evaluated against the statistical goals, and then vetted against the story. In other words, the first stage is feasibility, and then blue sky, and then further development only once commitment from IP owners is procured. Ross and Brian shared that physical mockups can be more effective than virtual prototypes for communicating a concept, especially to busy and non-technical executives. Every design must be immersive, but immersion is not only physical but also emotional and mental. They explained that IP owners are usually deeply involved in the creative process, often on a daily basis. Justin Schwartz recommended finding inspiration by bringing technology from other industries and applying it to themed entertainment. Each person concurred that physical infrastructure is considered a more reliable investment than anything digital, because technology changes so often. Plus, physical environments are already deeply immersive and can tell a full story without too many other expensive bells and whistles.
I gained valuable insight into the motivations of theme park designers and guests, and the biggest trends and biggest problems currently facing the industry. A major trend is queue-less attractions, followed by interactive queues. The TapuTapu system at Volcano Bay brought this one-touch queueing to Universal, whereas Disney's Magic Band already provides this queueing capacity along with many other abilities. Designers were very excited about the potential for augmented reality, as it fairly cheap to create (compared with physical installations), easy to update, and relies on a guest's own mobile device.
Gamification was a particular interest of mine, because although I see it trending across many different industries, I think it lacks the intrinsic motivation and immersion that leads to guest satisfaction. Justin Schwartz corroborated my suspicion and elaborated, saying that gamification can be problematic because of the steep guest learning curve. He also pointed out that gamification is only compelling when there is a possibility of failure, but no one wants to pay to visit a theme park in order to fail at something. He also reminded us that high immersion translates to low capacity, so many amazing ideas have been sidelined because they just don't serve the entire guest population. Justin said that the illusion of interaction can be just as effective (and cheaper!) than actual interactive technology.
Our speakers emphasized that parks are communal experiences and need to be designed for social moments rather than individual moments, which to be honest I hadn't really considered. This relates to the challenge of designing for omnipresent mobile devices, which is being solved by incorporating mobile interactivity into queues and throughout the park. Battery life of guest mobile devices is a huge challenge, as many guests use smartphones for social media and wayfinding purposes (and social media is free advertising). Designers are working hard to seamlessly incorporate smartphones into the park's immersion scenario.
INSIDER INFO
The creative team is looking ahead five to ten years and trying to figure out how theme parks can stay relevant when you won't need to go to a theme park to experience cutting-edge technology. They agreed that re-rideability is the future of themed environments, where your experience changes slightly each time but the core experience is the same to ensure that each guest has a shared element and satisfies the IP, but they didn't offer many specific ideas to solve this issue which indicates to me that it's not urgent. The executives we met with seemed satisfied with accessibility in terms of multigenerational guests and non-English speakers. We did discuss that the future of accessibility in theme parks should focus on preference rather than disclosure. In other words, some guests may simply prefer assistive audio amplification and everyone should have the option to use it; "just like amputees, tired people also need somewhere to sit!" We also touched on the cybersecurity ramifications of obsolescence products in a rapidly changing software and technology environment.
We attended an evening course at a local college, where undergraduate students discussed the ways in which people might be replaced by technology in the future, and the ways in which people are irreplaceable. The famous story of Katie the Prefect made a strong case for investing in people over technology. Stephen Hanna, a Universal employee, shared valuable first-hand knowledge with us, including the startling statistic that 98% of team members who originally open an attraction leave after a year due to burnout. He also observed that food and security measures are often missed in the theming process, but pointing out that Potter excels in the food arena and Enchanted Airways in Singapore excels in security, with their wood-wrapped metal detectors.
I made note of many new terms and metaphors used by industry veterans: GSAT (guest satisfaction rating), ATI (advanced technology interactions), value engineering, midway balancing, kinetosis, RI (responsible individual), theory of the ride portion of the manual, GPS (general performance specifications), show supervisor, obsolescence projects, the ponytail guy (the creative weirdo), theme park arithmetic (combining existing elements of rides to create a brand new ride). Additional quotes from experts we met with: "Theme parks are like churches but with more bells and whistles." "Disney is like a battleship, Universal is like a SEAL team." "Thou shalt not art direct" – engineering motto. "Schedule, show, quality (pick 2)." "Fail to a safe state."
I was particularly inspired by Steve Birket and his small engineering firm, an area which I previously knew nothing about. Steve's design philosophy relies on the metaphor of "Girl Scouts with sweaters," meaning that one must consider all kinds of possible scenarios to design a safe ride. He also used the term coopera-tition, meaning that healthy competition helps make the whole industry better. He reminded us that it's not wise to innovate too much, especially for things like ride control, because it wouldn't be safe or easy to train operators on a completely new system.

Gold for Oil: COPEC skeptical about fuel price reduction
Jan 18, 2023 | Banking & Finance, Local News
The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) – Ghana has expressed doubt that government's Gold for Oil deal will result in lower fuel prices at the pump.
The government has received the first consignment of 40,000 metric tonnes of oil under the agreement and is hopeful that this will help fuel consumers.
However, Duncan Amoah, Executive Secretary of the Chamber, has stated that the lack of a policy document for the deal makes accepting the government's claim of lower fuel prices impossible.
He explained that a document outlining the government's strategy for the deal could have alleviated some of their concerns.
Speaking on the Midday news on local media (Joy FM), Tuesday, 17th January 2023, he said, "Unfortunately, we at the Chamber of Petroleum Consumers are unable to ascertain the claim due to the non-availability of a policy document that spells out exactly what the Bank of Ghana (BoG) is aiming to acquire, how many tonnes of gold, exactly what is PMMC pumping into the local mines and what we are pumping into them.
"There are a few critical things we would have wished that a policy document would have answered, but as we speak, there is really nothing."
Meanwhile, BoG has abated Ghanaians' concerns about government's ability to supply enough gold for its Gold for Oil policy.
Stephen Opata, Director of Financial Markets at the Bank of Ghana, asserts that the country has enough gold reserves to sustain the policy.
During his appearance before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Monday, January 16, he said, "As for the quantities, based on the production numbers we saw last year, gold has picked up. We believe that we can buy enough gold to sustain the programme.
"I must say that the numbers we are currently looking at is about 160,000 ounces per month and that will represent about 50 to 60 percent of the consumption of the country. According to what PMMC indicates, I think we have volumes to support the programme," he added.

A bit about Indian Head's history
Indian Head is located in the heart of Saskatchewan's richest farmland, and beside the Canadian Pacific Railway's main east-west line. Those two facts have had a great influence on the history and development of the community.
A few settlers attracted by the fertile land had already built homesteads when the 53,000-acre Bell Farm began operations in 1882, a few months before railway tracks were laid through the district. The Bell Farm built a grain elevator, flourmill and hotel in the new town.
Many of the town's streets are named after the farm's original investors, and it also left its mark on how the streets are laid out. Where most prairie towns are laid out on a grid, with streets running parallel to, and perpendicular to the railway line, the streets in Indian Head run at an angle, making a shorter trip from town to the headquarters of the Bell Farm to the northwest.

Because it used the most modern equipment and farming methods available, the Bell Farm drew visitors from several countries. The CPR included a stop at Indian Head so that its passengers could view the farm's operations.
In 1887 a portion of the farm was sold to create a Dominion Experimental Farm, one of Canada's first agricultural research stations. Research into crops and dry land agricultural practices continues at the Research Station today. A tree nursery established in 1901 to supply farmers in the three prairie provinces with trees for shelterbelts continued to distribute millions of seedlings to farmers each year.
Indian Head was incorporated as a town in 1902, when it was one of the world's largest initial shipping points for wheat. Meetings held here led to the formation of the Territorial Grain Growers' Association, an early advocacy group for farmers. For more information check out the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation website.
Building on its rich, vibrant past, Indian Head is a growing, attractive and progressive community. Indian Head continues to have strong ties to the land, and is also attracting more and more people who want to be close to the provincial capital, Regina, while enjoying the best that small town life has to offer.

The subject of Revelation 17 is a great harlot. The name written on her forehead is, "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth." By comparing Scripture with Scripture, we have discovered that the great harlot of this chapter represents a huge false religious system. This system found its beginning in the city of Babel in Genesis 11. It has continued through the centuries in one form or another, and will find its culmination in a monstrous apostate world church in the last days. The appearance of that great world church is described for us in the first six verses of this chapter, and in that description we learned that she was seated upon a scarlet-colored beast.
Her position upon the beast indicates two things: first, that he is supporting her; second, that she is controlling him. That beast is none other than the first beast of Revelation 13, whom we know as the Antichrist. The great world church of the last days and Satan's own world political ruler will be associated with one another. He becomes the primary subject of the next nine verses, and so we turn to the associate of this great world church.
1. The Associate of the Great World Church
"But the angel said to me, 'Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns'" (Revelation 17:7).
The verses that follow are difficult to understand because they are written in symbolic language. They have been the source of much difference of opinion among Bible scholars, and demand our careful investigation. I'm going to do my best to share with you what I think they mean. If you agree with me, fine. If you don't, that's perfectly alright as well.
"The beast that you saw was, and is not, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition" (Revelation 17:8).
The beast was, and then he was not. And then he ascends out of the bottomless pit. This seems to indicate that Satan's world ruler will be a person who exists, then dies, then is raised from the dead. We got that same impression from Revelation 13:3 when we read about a deadly wound that was healed. So this terrible beast, who represents a man, is going to be killed and will rise from the dead, and that will gain him the sympathy and allegiance of the world.
His ascent from the bottomless pit associates him with Satan (Revelation 20:1-3). And right here as his power approaches its zenith, we are reminded that his end will be perdition, or literally, destruction--a reference to eternal condemnation. But as his star begins to rise, the people of earth will be awed by him; those whose names are not written in the Lamb's book of life shall wonder before him. According to Revelation 13:4 they shall say, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with Him?" They are amazed by his power and they are overwhelmed by him.
And now his identity is revealed to us. "Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits" (Revelation 17:9).
The beast has seven heads. The man doesn't have seven heads, but the beast that pictures him has seven heads. We're going to learn something about him from those seven heads. The seven heads are seven mountains and the woman sits on them. She's sitting on the beast (the Antichrist--see Revelation 17:3) and the beast is seven mountains. Remember, the beast represents a king and a kingdom.
Bible teachers for many years have insisted that verse 9 is a clear reference to Rome, which has often been called the city of seven hills. I cannot say a dogmatic "no" to this interpretation. This may have been a secondary implication of what the Lord here reveals to John, but I don't think it is the primary emphasis. The seven heads represent a great king, who rules over a powerful kingdom. The point of this passage is not that this woman controls a city, but that she controls a king and his kingdom.
If you will skip down to verse 18 you will learn that the woman herself is a city that reigns over the kings of the earth. She is not at one time the city, and that which rules over the city. Furthermore, hills and mountains are different in the Scripture. Rome is the city of seven hills, not seven mountains--no one could mistake that whatsoever. And mountains are used in the Scripture to represent kingdoms. Look at Jeremiah 51:24-25:
"'And I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all the evil they have done in Zion in your sight,' says the Lord. 'Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, who destroys all the earth,' says the Lord. 'And I will stretch out My hand against you, roll you down from the rocks, and make you a burnt mountain.'"
The kingdom of Babylon is likened to a mountain. Now, turn over to the book of Daniel.
"You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth" (Daniel 2:34-35). A great mountain.
Now drop down to verse 44.
"And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold--the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this" (Daniel 2:44-45).
You see, that stone, which grew into a great mountain, was the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Mountains in Scripture often picture kingdoms.
Now go back to Revelation chapter 17, verse 9. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. That these seven heads represent seven kingdoms is reinforced by the next verse. It would be more accurately translated, "And they are seven kings." You see, the seven heads represent seven kings and their kingdoms.
These seven kingdoms are further broken down for us in verse 10. "Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time" (Revelation 2:10).
Seven kingdoms. Five are past. They're all gone. One of the them is in existence right now. One of them is going to come into existence in a future day. And when it does, it's only going to exist for a short time.
The angel says, "and one is." If we determine what kind of political power was in control of the world in John's time, then we know what kind of political power these heads refer to. As you well know, it was the Roman Empire then in control, the Roman imperial authority and power.
If you will leaf back through your ancient history textbooks, you will find that there were exactly five world imperial powers that preceded the Roman Empire. No more, no less. Moving backwards from Rome they were Greece, Persia, Babylon, Assyria, and Egypt.
Here then are six world imperial powers. And every one of them was dominated by the great harlot: Satanic false religion. Study their cultures in your history books, and see in each of them the evidences of the first organized religious system of Satanic falsehood initiated at Babel in Genesis 11.
But we've only dealt with six heads. What about the seventh? The world of John's day had not yet seen the seventh world imperial power. And you can search your history books from the time of the Roman empire until the present, and you will not find it. Oh, there were some who aspired to create it. Napoleon tried. Hitler thought he might do it. But it hasn't been established yet.
What was true in John's day, is likewise true today, the seventh "is yet to come." And when it does come, according to verse 10, it will only continue for a short time.
Students of the prophetic Scriptures are looking for a new imperial power. There are several indications in Scripture that it will be composed of 10 lesser powers who combine their efforts together. It will be a confederated kingdom of separate states. For instance, look down at verse 12, "The ten horns which you saw"--presumably on the seventh head--"are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet." You see, that seventh imperial power which is yet to come is composed of 10 kings.
Daniel predicted the very same thing. In Daniel 2, he revealed the secret of King Nebuchanezzar's dream, describing a great image of four parts, each part representing a different imperial power. Daniel only saw four, rather than the seven of Revelation 17, because he was looking ahead from his own time, and so he begins with Babylon (omitting Egypt and Assyria). Furthermore, he sees the fifth empire as an outgrowth or extension of the fourth. Look at it in verse 40, and notice the ten toes.
"And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others. Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile" (Daniel 2:40-42).
This is a revived Roman Empire composed of 10 confederated states. The same truth is revealed in Daniel 7:23-24. Daniel himself sees a vision in chapter 7, and its similar to what King Nebuchadnezzar saw. In this vision there are beasts. The fourth beast of that vision has ten horns, and they are ten kings that shall arise, the very same ten kings as depicted in Revelation 17.
"The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces. The ten horns are ten kings who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; he shall be different from the first ones, and shall subdue three kings (Daniel 7:23-24).
First there is a strong Roman Empire, and then there is a weak Roman empire. So what we seem to be looking for is a revival of an imperial world power covering--generally speaking--the same geographical area as the ancient Roman Empire, composed of ten different states aligning themselves with one another. That's what Daniel taught us, and that's what John reveals in Revelation.
Now of course, we look with interest at the European common market, which may be a forerunner of this very revived Roman Empire, or confederated states of Europe. Or, it may not be. I don't know. But it certainly is of interest. If you believe the Bible and are interested in what it teaches about the future, then I'd keep an eye on the European common market. It has possibilities. Their goal is to have ten nations involved and they are nations around the Mediterranean.
Now when this seventh world imperial power of confederated states of Europe is established, it isn't going to last very long. In Daniel 7:24, it doesn't say how long, but immediately after the note of its establishment in verse 24 we read, "and another shall rise after them; he shall be different from the first."
Revelation 17 is even more specific.
"The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition. The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast" (Revelation 17:10-13).
Let's see whether we can get this picture before us. This beast has seven heads; they represent the successive imperial powers that have ruled the earth. The seventh of these imperial powers will be a confederation of ten nations, which shall last only a very short time. And immediately after them shall arise the eighth world imperial power, and this one is the beast himself. He comes out of the seven, that is, he is the product of the world's imperial powers. And he shall come into his own when the ten confederated kings of the seventh kingdom voluntarily give their power to him. Verse 13 says they give their power and strength to the beast, and so become sort of vice-regents with him.
It is this eighth empire, the kingdom of the Antichrist, that shall make its power felt over the whole earth, according to Revelation 13:8, 12, 14-17. He does not have that world-wide authority yet, when the events of chapter 17 unfold. But he is the one who will be supporting the great world church when it arrives on the scene, and he is the one whom the great world church will be directing to enhance her own image and increase her own power.
While the event of verse 14 will not occur until at least 3-1/2 years after the events described in this chapter, the Lord adds verse 14 here just so we can be certain as to whom this is the great world church has aligned herself with.
"These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful" (Revelation 17:14).
It is none other than the one who shall make war with the Son of God at His return. But he cannot win. He is fighting the King of kings, and armies of heaven: called, and chosen and faithful.
I want you to look at this very same thing back in Daniel 7. Begin in verse 25, talking about the one horn that arises after the seven--the Antichrist.
"He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time"--that's a year and two years and a half a year: 3-1/2 years--"'But the court shall be seated, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it forever. Then the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him'" (Daniel 7:25-27).
Here is a clear outline of prophetic events from the book of Daniel, including the Great Tribulation of 3-1/2 years, the persecution of Tribulation saints, the destruction of the Antichrist at the coming of the Lord, and the establishment of the Millennium on earth.
You see, the Bible is coherent. It's internally consistent; it teaches the same things all the way through. That great Hebrew prophet Daniel revealed to us thousands of years ago what John revealed when he was on that isle of Patmos--revealing to us these great future events.
2. The Annihilation of the Great World Church
After what seems to be a very amiable and mutually profitable relationship between the Antichrist and the great world church, we suddenly read, "And the ten horns which you saw on the beast"--the best readings say "and the beast," not "on the beast"--"these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire" (Revelation 17:16).
Very strange. Up until now, they've been the best of friends. She's been controlling and influencing them; they have been supporting her. Why should these political rulers, who courted the favor of this apostate church, suddenly turn on her with violent hatred and destroy her? I think there are a number of reasons for this.
The first and most obvious reason is that this apostate religion has nothing more to offer them. Their primary goals are power and prosperity. They allow religion to influence them until their political power is felt around the whole globe. When the masses of people who were duped into blind enslavement by this false religious system are now in their control, then they have no more need for the system. They never did love it. They paid lip service to it, but lip service is not love. Deep down in their hearts they were probably fully aware that this system was empty, cold, lifeless, dead, that it had nothing vital to meet their needs, nor the needs of masses of people in the world. It is a debased and prostituted religion, and it has no useful service to render. A decadent religion is despised even by its adherents, who often become the cause of its own undoing.
Russian communistic atheism was preceded by an era of spiritual poverty in the churches in imperial Russia. The churches had no relevance to the spiritual needs of the people. And so it is today. We have humanistic religion, materialistic religion. If it doesn't meet people's spiritual needs it will be overthrown. And maybe today we see this great world church beginning to form. It takes on more and more the appearance of a political rather than a religious entity. It becomes colder and colder toward the Lord, further and further from a virile faith that transforms lives. And while it becomes bigger and bigger it has less and less power to meet needs and satisfy longing hearts. It has just what the Apostle Paul said it would have: "a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof" (2 Timothy 3:5). And so while the success of the ecumenical movement seems to increase with each passing day, the further it departs from Biblical truth the more assured its ultimate demise becomes. And that demise is assured by the infallible Word of God (Revelation 17:16).
I think a second obvious reason for the kings of the earth turning against the false religious system they once courted lies in the aims of the Antichrist himself. When they see in him the only hope for their world, and voluntarily give to him their power and strength, he demands more and more from them. According to Daniel 11:36, he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god. According to 2 Thessalonians 2:4, he shall take his place in the temple of God and claim that he himself is God. According to Revelation 13:15, he shall demand the worship of every person on earth, with the threat of death to everyone who disobeys. There is no alternative but to destroy the great harlot, apostate Christendom, the great world church. The Antichrist will share his glory with no one, true or false.
But there is yet a third reason for the annihilation of the great world church. Read it in verse 17. This is incredible. "For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled" (Revelation 17:17).
You see, while all this is the work of Satan and Satanically inspired men, God is using them to bring the world to readiness of the return of His Son, and the establishment of His kingdom of righteousness and peace. God often used heathen nations in the Old Testament to chasten His people. Then He would turn around and punish those wicked nations. God was not being unfair. Those nations were acting in accord with their own will. They conquered Israel because they wanted to. But behind their will was a sovereign God, working all things together for absolute and unequivocal good. That is exactly what He is doing here.
Satan is building his empire. First he uses degenerate and apostate Christendom. Then he destroys that and establishes his man as the only object of worship. It is his doing. He will do it because he wants to do it. It is part of his plan. But above and beyond him is a sovereign God. It's all part of God's plan. Satan thinks it's his plan but God is behind it all, controlling the events of human history, working out His purposes. And when the cup of iniquity is full, God will destroy it.
There is a tremendous application for us in all of this. We see progressive deterioration in our society, creeping godlessness, immorality, and iniquity of every kind. We see progressive deterioration in professing Christendom, churches aligning themselves with the philosophy of the world, denying the great doctrines of the Scriptures. I don't like to see that; that grieves me. I'm sorry about what I see on the religious scene of our day.
God wants us to do everything we can to hold back this raging tide of iniquity--and certainly to protect our own children from its influences. God wants us to do what we can. But the point, dear friends, is there is no point in worrying about it. There's no sense in fretting and getting disturbed and upset and irritated, and developing bleeding ulcers over the situation in the world today. God says, "Be anxious for nothing" (Philippians 4:6).
God said this is what was going to happen. He said in the latter days men would depart from the faith and give heed to seducing spirits and the doctrines of demons. He said there would come a day when men would claim Godliness but there would be no spiritual life nor reality nor power involved in what they do. That shouldn't surprise us. We do what we can to hold back the tide of iniquity but we understand that God is allowing it all to happen. Ultimately, He's in control of everything. We can thank Him for it because it reinforces the truthfulness of His Word. We can trust the Scripture; we see even today the beginnings of what God predicts will happen in the last days. It only convinces us that the rapture is near. So we do what we can and then we rejoice. For the coming of the Lord draws near. Are you ready?

A teenager is warning others about the long-lasting effects of sextortion after he fell victim to a sinister crime.
The 16-year-old was conned out of £800 but he said the money he lost is nothing compared to the psychological impact of that night – all because he got bored one evening and chatted to a 'girl' he met online.
Jacob, whose real name has been withheld to protect his identity, was in his bedroom at his family home over the Christmas school holidays and decided to go on a website where you can chat to strangers over webcam.
He said he met a 'girl' who piqued his interest. He said he could see her and she could see him, and she talked him into doing explicit things on-camera.
The mystery girl then asked for Jacob's contact details, saying it would make it easier to chat. So he gave her his phone number.
Once they began messaging, Jacob said he was sent a link to an explicit video of himself, which appeared to have been recorded through his web cam.
Then his phone started to ring.
He answered. It was a male voice on the other end.
Jacob describes how he felt in that moment: "The guy was so aggressive on the phone. He said he was a pro hacker. He sent me a list of all my Facebook friends and said 'I will ruin your life'.
"My heart was beating out of my chest. I was shaking. I remember looking at myself in my bedroom mirror thinking 'what have I done, what have I done?
"I went into panic mode and kept thinking about the worst case scenario - all my friends and family and people at school seeing the video and looking at me differently. I just wanted to stop it. I asked him what he wanted.
"I didn't care about the money, all I could think about was trying to prevent that video getting out.
Jacob set up a fake account on a money transfer service and said he immediately transferred £800 to the man. He then shouted for his older sister, who was downstairs at the time. "I thought, no matter what happens, I'm going to have to tell my family about this at some point, so I may as well tell them now."
Jacob's sister called the police on non-emergency number 101 as well as calling their parents and asking them to come home immediately.
His mum said: "I just walked in and gave him a big hug.
"We did everything we could - closing down his social media accounts, changing his phone number, and we gave him a stern talking to.
"But he's suffered enough for his mistake and he's now working hard to earn that money back."
According to figures from the National Crime Agency, forces across the UK have received more than 2,000 reports of sextortion in the last two years, but many cases will go unreported.
Joanne Bocko, cyber protect officer for Avon and Somerset Police, said: "What happened to Jacob is called sextortion. It's where someone uses a sexually explicit image or video of their victim as leverage to blackmail them and to make demands. This kind of criminal preys on people's vulnerabilities. It's a very cruel crime which can ruin people's lives. That's why for us, protection and the welfare of the victim is paramount.
1) Don't panic. You're the victim in this and you'll need support to help you through this difficult time, so call police immediately on 101 – they will deal with it in confidence and won't make any judgements on your behaviour.
2) Don't pay. Even if you give money to the person making demands, there may be continued requests for larger amounts of money. This money will then likely be used to fund the organised crime groups who commit these types of crimes.
3) Don't communicate any further with the offender. Get screen shots of communication and keep any evidence which could help police with their investigation. Officers can help with more specific advice over the phone, once you've reported it to us. | {

Q: Cost Path based on Lowest Maximum Elevation Encountered I am trying to locate the lowest elevation point at which a river will overtop its banks, and spill into lower-lying terrain behind them. I'm working in ArcMap version 10.2, and using a high-resolution DEM to represent the surface.
My thought was that I could approach this as a kind of cost-path problem, where the path would only be concerned with finding the smallest maximum elevation along a route between the river and low-lying terrain (like trying to find the lowest pass through a mountain range).
Is it possible to create a least-cost path that only accounts for the maximum value encountered? And if not, are there any other tools I could use to locate the spill point?
A: Understanding your idea, I do not see any possibility to use the cost distance tool on the base of "Lowest Maximum Elevation Encountered". The function adds costs multiplied by distance. It would be necessary to transform the cost (altitude) values in a way that any rise in cost is higher than the sum of whole cost path. I guess this is possible for a few integer cost values but not for a float altitude value. As you have the possibility to work with the Spatial Analyst, did you think about using the Hydrology Toolset. You would need to convert your riverbed to a sink to use this Toolset for your purpose.

The Louisville Leader. Louisville, Kentucky, Saturday, May 24, 1930.
C.M.E. CONFERENCE ADJOURNS - C. M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE CLOSES ITS QUADRENNIAL SESSION All General Officers Re-elected; Much Progressive Legislation Passed As the Leader goes to press the General Conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church which has commanded space in the daily and weekly newspapers here and over the country, and attracted the attention of people every where for ten weeks past, Wednesday, is coming to its close. In addition to stating that in his opinion Bishop C. H. Phillips is the leading authority among the bishops of the Colored Methodist denominations on church law, Ira T. Bryant, noted A. M. E. General officer and a foremost layman said after spending much time at sessions of the C. M. E. General Conference here, that more manhood was shown, and legislation done by the C. M. E. delegates at this session than by any other of the branches of Colored Methodism. Progressive methods and regard for time may not be responsible for the closing out of the Conference about five days before the three weeks' period scheduled, but the fact that the Bishops recommended that no new Bishops be elected at this session in their quadrennial message, and the overwhelming approval of it by the delegates might have had something to do with the shortening of the conference. Reports Show Progress Since the last press day of the Leader the Conference has discussed and enacted sensible, timely and progressive legislation along with hearing and commending the reports of the Bishops and General officers which showed that the church has made remarkable progress in its spiritual, educational and financial program during the four years past. Nothing, however has claimed the attention of the delegates and visitors more than the measure proposed to give the Episcopal Committee the authority to redistrict the annual conferences, assign the bishops along with granting the laymen the right to sit on the committee. The measure passed the General Conference by a large majority, but met the Bishops veto, one Bishop dissenting. Concurring with Bishop Phillips were Bishops R. S. Williams, E. Cottrell, N. C. Cleaves, J. C. Martin, R. T. Brown, J. Arthur Hamlett and John W. McKinney. Bishop R. A. Carter differed with his colleagues. In one of the ablest, most profound and well prepared documents delivered before the delegates and visitors who jammed the big Chestnut St. auditorium, but where a pin drop could be heard, Bishop Phillips among many things in his veto message of the Bishops said that they opposed the proposed measure (Continued on Page 4)
HOPKINSVILLE'S WELL-KNOWN LITERARY CLUB HONORS C. W. MERRIWEATHER By Mrs. Phil H. Brown Hopkinsville, Ky., May 19, 1930 The lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. Marcellus Waddell in East Fourth St., was the scene on the evening of the 9th inst. of a rather unusual event when the members of the Oak Leaf Art and Literary Club, with a number of invited guests, met to honor Mr. C. W. Merriweather, the well-known poet-artist of this city. That his work is fast receiving the recognition it richly deserves was attested in the large number of congratulatory letters and telegrams commending his latest contribution to the public, "The Voice of Beauty," which was read during the evening. So impressed was one of Mr. Merriweather's friends (white) that he sent the poem, thru his daughter, to the English Department of the High School here that the pupils of the other croups might read and enjoy this [illegible] production. [illegible] [Quarles?], mistress of [ceremonies?] [illegible] all the way from [Nashville?] [illegible] [she?] is studying at Fisk [illegible] [preside?] at this meeting. [illegible] program of vocal [illegible] [rotation?] by everyone [illegible] [the?] writings of Mr. [Merriweather?] the honor guest was in-[illegible] few choice words he [illegible] [members?] of the club with [illegible] for this signal honor [illegible] conferred upon him [illegible] of his work. The [illegible] [evening?] was [reached?] when Mr. Merriweather recited in his own inimitable manner several original poems. The prize for the person scoring highest in the whist game that followed went to Emery Quarles. This prize had been eagerly played for by everyone present, as it was a very beautiful winter scene done in pastel by Mr. Merriweather for this special occasion. While Mr. Merriweather has one of the largest law practices in the city, he still finds time to portray, by pen and brush, some of the many beauties of nature, thus broadening and elevating the tastes and life of his fellow men. The Oak Leaf Art and Literary Club should be highly commended for showing in this manner their appreciation of the worth and artistic ability of so worthy a citizen.
THINK MCPHERSON INNOCENT COVINGTON, Ky., May 25 (C.N.A.)--A young Negro worker, Anderson McPherson, is rotting in jail here waiting to be hanged for a crime he did not commit, and being occasionally third degreed in an effort to make him confess. McPherson was arrested when he asked for food at the back door of a house in Crescent Springs, Ky., a town in which Negroes are not allowed to live, or even appear. McPherson got on a freight train on which he was beating his way North after failing to find work in the South, where he had been visiting his sister. He did not know the danger he was running by entering the town. When he knocked at a door in the effort to get a bite of food, the woman of the house chased him down a street, a crowd assembled, word was passed around that he had raped a white woman, and preparations made for lynching.

First Period Of Campaign Ends MANY NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS REPORTED IN EFFORT TO WIN AUTOMOBILES Miss Washington Still Leads But Other Candidates Are Close Up The first period of the Leaders annual subscription campaign came to a close Wednesday evening at 9 o'clock and notwithstanding the fact that Mrs. Katie C. Washington of Georgetown, Ky., is still leading the candidates as shown on page eight. The standing and votes also show that several of those who were nominated as eligibles to contest for the automobiles and cash prizes have been active during the four weeks the campaign has already run, and the votes published on page eight show quite a difference from last week this time as published in our last week's issue. Space will not be taken to name each candidate and express words of commendation and appreciation for the reports made, but it is easy to see, just what each candidate has done, now stands and to know that naming the winners of either of the automobiles or three cash prizes is mere speculation. Mrs. Washington still leads but Mrs. Lavelle L. Smith, is a close second, and Miss Bessie Scott, Louisville, who made her first report as the period closed, just a few votes behind, and in third place Mr. W. M. Thomas, Adairville, Ky., who entered the campaign last week is in fourth place, and Mrs. J. H. Hughes, Louisville moved up to fifth, Mrs. Frankie McCaskill dropped from second to sixth place in the standing, but only a few votes separate her from the top. Good reports were made by Mrs. Ernestine J. Downing, Anderson, Ind. Misses Irma Owens who made her first report; Catherine West, Eva Cox, Beatrice M. Mudd, Louisville; Mesdames Mamie Howard, Winchester, Ky.; S. D. Gibson, Toledo, Ohio, and others as is shown on page eight. The battle of ballots is on for the Hudson Straight Eight and the new Essex Challenger, and the cash, and during the next five weeks we are to see a keen, friendly and close rivalry between those who would win.

Full Text C.M.E. CONFERENCE ADJOURNS - C. M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE CLOSES ITS QUADRENNIAL SESSION All General Officers Re-elected; Much Progressive Legislation Passed As the Leader goes to press the General Conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church which has commanded space in the daily and weekly newspapers here and over the country, and attracted the attention of people every where for ten weeks past, Wednesday, is coming to its close. In addition to stating that in his opinion Bishop C. H. Phillips is the leading authority among the bishops of the Colored Methodist denominations on church law, Ira T. Bryant, noted A. M. E. General officer and a foremost layman said after spending much time at sessions of the C. M. E. General Conference here, that more manhood was shown, and legislation done by the C. M. E. delegates at this session than by any other of the branches of Colored Methodism. Progressive methods and regard for time may not be responsible for the closing out of the Conference about five days before the three weeks' period scheduled, but the fact that the Bishops recommended that no new Bishops be elected at this session in their quadrennial message, and the overwhelming approval of it by the delegates might have had something to do with the shortening of the conference. Reports Show Progress Since the last press day of the Leader the Conference has discussed and enacted sensible, timely and progressive legislation along with hearing and commending the reports of the Bishops and General officers which showed that the church has made remarkable progress in its spiritual, educational and financial program during the four years past. Nothing, however has claimed the attention of the delegates and visitors more than the measure proposed to give the Episcopal Committee the authority to redistrict the annual conferences, assign the bishops along with granting the laymen the right to sit on the committee. The measure passed the General Conference by a large majority, but met the Bishops veto, one Bishop dissenting. Concurring with Bishop Phillips were Bishops R. S. Williams, E. Cottrell, N. C. Cleaves, J. C. Martin, R. T. Brown, J. Arthur Hamlett and John W. McKinney. Bishop R. A. Carter differed with his colleagues. In one of the ablest, most profound and well prepared documents delivered before the delegates and visitors who jammed the big Chestnut St. auditorium, but where a pin drop could be heard, Bishop Phillips among many things in his veto message of the Bishops said that they opposed the proposed measure (Continued on Page 4) HOPKINSVILLE'S WELL-KNOWN LITERARY CLUB HONORS C.

We may further anonymize data about users of the Site generally and use it for various purposes, including ascertaining the general location of the users and usage of certain aspects of the Site or a link contained in an email to those registered to receive them, and supplying that anonymized data to third parties such as publishers. However, that anonymized data will not be capable of identifying the user personally; and such sharing of anonymized data shall be subject to absolute confidentiality and professional purposes with no intent and chance of personal information disclosure.
We have in place appropriate technical and security measures to prevent unauthorized or unlawful access to or accidental loss of or destruction or damage to your information.

Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy and our ability to keep the community free from bad actors, we will not otherwise disclose your personal information to law enforcement or other government officials without a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss; or report suspected illegal activity. Further, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose your name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, email, and Foundation name to Intellectual Property Right's owners under confidentiality agreement, as we in our sole discretion believe necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. | {

1994 : Tanya Harding Wins U.S. Figure Skating Championship in Detroit
January 8, 2021 all-day
Tonya Harding won the Ladies' U.S. Figure Skating Championship at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, a day after Nancy Kerrigan dropped out because of the clubbing attack that had injured her right knee. (The U.S. Figure Skating Association later stripped Harding of the title.)
I, Tonya released in 2017. (Also available as DVD) Based on the unbelievable but true events, I, Tonya is a dark comedic tale of American figure skater, Tonya Harding, and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy was forever defined by her association with an infamous and poorly executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan. Featuring an iconic turn by Margot Robbie as the fiery Harding, Sebastian Stan, Allison Janney, and an original screenplay by Steven Rogers, Craig Gillespie's I, Tonya is an absurd, irreverent, and piercing portrayal of Harding's life and career in all of its unchecked—and checkered—glory. | {

Looks like an eclectic season of talent will grace the stage of the historical Cafe Carlyle this Fall beginning with noted actor Jeff Goldblum and his jazz band, The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra September 16 – September 20. He performs regularly at Los Feliz's Rockwell Table and Stage with this show marking both his Café debut, as well as the band's New York premiere.
Getting her start in the iconic John Hughes films The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Pretty In Pink, Molly Ringwald has added stage actress, writer and jazz singer to her resume. She's starred in Broadway productions of the Pulitzer Prize winning How I Learned to Drive; the revival of Cabaret; Tony-nominated Enchanted April and the West End production of When Harry Met Sally. She will debut in An Evening with Molly Ringwald, October 7–18.
A founding member of the New York Dolls, having a prolific solo career, David Johansen created an alter ego, with a different name and style, and with his own extraordinary achievements: Buster Poindexter, an elegant crooner and R&B balladeer. Mr. "Hot, Hot, Hot" returns to the room in a limited five-night engagement, October 21–25.
The ever popular husband-and-wife duo John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey make their annual fall pilgrimage to The Carlyle with an all-new show, October 28–November 22.
Once again, GRAMMY® Award-winner Steve Tyrell celebrates his 10th anniversary performing in Café Carlyle's revered holiday slot, having taken over for the legendary Bobby Short in 2005, with an all new show. The five-week engagement runs November 25–December 31. | {

You Are #WhatAYogiLooksLike: Together We Rise in Community
by Melanie Klein
Representation matters. This is the opening article in series two of the "This Is What a Yogi Looks Like" (#whatayogilookslike) media series, a collaboration between the Yoga and Body Image Coalition and Yoga International, based on the YBIC campaign that launched in 2014 and their continued work in challenging stereotypes, growing community, working collaboratively, and highlighting the diversity of yoga practitioners and yoga practices, as well as their staunch commitment to diversifying yoga media.
The undeniable truth is that we live in an ever-expanding media landscape that shows no signs of shrinking. The images and messages are ubiquitous and practically inescapable. Even if we try to be conscious of them, and to curb our exposure by limiting the amount of time we spend on social media or watching television and movies, we're still bombarded with carefully crafted media messages when we drive down the street, pump gas, or stand in the check-out line. Media imagery is prolific and unavoidable. In fact, media images and messages, specifically advertisements, saturate our cultural space—and our consciousness.
Whether we are consciously aware of them or not, the cumulative impact of these repetitive images shapes our perception of ourselves and others as well as our expectations and values.
Undoubtedly, our worldview and self-development are impacted by many variables, such as our family of origin, peers, educators, religious leaders, politicians, and the communities we're part of. But given the reach and scope of the media (as well as the amount of time we spend proverbially "plugged in"), it's not hard to see how media often trumps these other influences and becomes one of the most, if not the most, significant influence on our worldview.
And that's why representation matters, not just in terms of being represented in the first place, but how and how often.
It's no secret that yoga publications have mirrored, and largely continue to mirror, mainstream publications by primarily featuring only a small margin of the population. Make no mistake about it, these images are not benign. They marginalize most members of the yoga community and elevate one "yoga body" over all others with cover images, stories, and advertisements featuring primarily young, white women who tend to be thin, super-flexy, toned, able-bodied, cisgender, heteronormative, and conventionally attractive by mainstream beauty standards. These images have so much impact and influence, in fact, that the narrow representations of yoga practitioners and yoga practice they depict are taken for granted, largely unquestioned, and rarely challenged.
Let's get real, where is there any diversity of any kind on a consistent basis?
Interestingly enough, research findings in the 2016 Yoga in America Study conducted by Yoga Journal and Yoga Alliance reveal that American yoga practitioners have grown by 50% in the last four years, with nearly 37 million people practicing in 2016. And of those nearly 37 million, older practitioners (defined as 50+) and male practitioners have more than doubled since 2012. So where are the men on the covers and in the pages of yoga magazines? Where are the older practitioners? I mean, let's get real, where is there any diversity of any kind on a consistent basis? After all, according to the study, Yoga Journal represents the primary source of yoga information for 61% of teachers and trainees. If that's the case, where is the full range of diversity that's present among yoga practitioners and aspiring yogis?
The bottom line is, it's not there. Nor is that diversity present in most mainstream yoga spaces, yoga conferences, or in yoga imagery from social media or yoga-related advertising. Occasionally featuring someone outside of the "norm" doesn't cut it either. That's tokenizing and insulting, and it's unacceptable. It does not represent an authentic or radical change from the hyperreal, digitally altered, filtered images of a few to the exclusion of the many.
And that's a shame. Not just because it's regressive and stereotypical, but because yoga is freakin' awesome in its benefits, but, unfortunately, the one-dimensional imagery of yoga practice and yoga bodies keeps many people away from the practice. Many people avoid yoga because they feel they're not (fill in the blank) enough and are intimidated by what has been represented as "yoga" in mainstream pop and yoga culture.
My deep love and appreciation for my practice and my community compelled me to launch the Yoga and Body Image Coalition's #whatayogilookslike campaign in 2014 as an ongoing effort to diversify media imagery by showcasing a diverse array of yogis—bodies and faces not normally portrayed in popular yoga media. This ongoing series showcases the often unsung work and experiences of incredible yogis in our community with interviews accompanied by minimally altered images that convey our authentic and diverse humanity.
It is only through community that we can shift course.
Not only does this series seek to smash tired stereotypes about what yoga and the "yoga body" look like, but also to counter the cult of celebrity that is so prominent in yoga culture. Each individual photo in the series is part of a larger community shoot. Because it is only through community that we can shift course. The Yoga and Body Image Coalition and I are dedicated to creating a movement, not a brand. And movements are rooted in collective action, solidarity, and grassroots efforts. We are enhanced and elevated by our relationship to others. And through this connection and solidarity with others, we are able to make a profound impact.
You too can show everyone #whatayogilookslike and spread the message by creating your own #whatayogilookslike profile picture to share on social media.
We are diverse.
Our bodies are diverse and unique.
Our yoga practices are diverse, unique, and personal.
Every age.
Every race and ethnicity.
Every class and socioeconomic status.
Every gender identity and sexual orientation.
Every size, shape, height, weight, and dis/ability.
This is what a yogi looks like.
YOU are what a yogi looks like.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA)'s review of the contamination of sartan-containing anti-hypertensives has released estimates of the associated cancer risk.
The review has concluded that if 100,000 patients took valsartan products with the highest levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) every day for six years, there could be 22 extra cases of cancer over a lifetime. N‑nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) in these medicines could lead to eight extra cases in 100,000 patients taking the highest dose every day for four years.
The estimates have been extrapolated from animal studies. The six and four years refer to the duration of time NDMA and NDEA are believed to have been present in the products.
In an update on the review, the EMA said that for the vast majority of sartan medicines, impurities were either not found or were present at very low levels.
Manufacturers of sartan-containing anti-hypertensives have been given a deadline of two years to demonstrate that their sartan products have no quantifiable levels of these impurities before they can be used in the European Union. In the meantime, strict temporary limits will apply. The limits are based on the maximum daily intake for each impurity derived from animal studies. | {

Lufthansa Group carries record 106m passengers
The airlines that make up the Lufthansa Group carried a record 106 million passengers in 2011.
A total of 106.3 million passengers chose to fly with Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, bmi and Germanwings. This is equivalent to growth of 7.5 per cent compared with the previous year.
The Group increased its capacity by 9.8 per cent overall in 2011, while its revenue seat kilometres rose by 7.0 per cent. The average passenger load factor for the aircraft correspondingly fell by two percentage points to 77.2 per cent.
The trend of decreasing sales that emerged in autumn continued in the remaining months of the year – Group-wide, it proved impossible to match the level of sales growth recorded at the beginning of the year.
In the light of this development and ongoing economic uncertainty, the Passenger Airline Group plans to achieve low-level growth of 3 per cent in its available seat kilometres in the full year 2012. This will be realised by using larger aircraft and introducing the new European cabin on Lufthansa Passenger Airlines' European routes.
A total of 65.5 million passengers flew with Lufthansa-brand planes in 2011 – 11.1 per cent more than in the previous year. Lufthansa expanded its capacity by 11.8 per cent in the full year, while sales were up 8.8 per cent. The load factor was 2.2 percentage points down year on year, at 77.2 per cent.
In 2011, SWISS carried approximately 16.4 million passengers, at Austrian Airlines passenger numbers came to 11.3million, around 5.7 million passengers chose to fly with bmi, and Germanwings had approximately 7.5 million passengers.

Lend Lease Corporation, which half-owns Sydney's Fox Studios Australia, has made a provision of $47m (A$80m) after tax to cover its losses from the failure of the 19-month-old Backlot, one of three distinct parts of the studio and entertainment development. It will also make an appropriate write-down of the value of the investment.
The company signalled such a move in March but announced to the Australian Stock Exchange today that: "the Backlot has continued to trade well below budget" and "it is prudent to make a significantly larger provision than first anticipated".
The Backlot was intended as an area for families to immerse themselves in how film and television is created. A Fox Studios spokesman said there would be no backing away from this plan but it is yet to be fully realised.
The other two areas of the studios - the Bent Street entertainment and retail area and the professional studios - are performing well. Bent Street is attracting about 100,000 people per week and the studios are currently housing production on the next two Star Wars features. | {

Altering your Tripp Trapp in any way invalidates your warranty, so please take that into consideration before going crazy in the paint aisle.
If you are lucky enough to stumble across a Tripp Trapp in a charity shop, thrift store or boot sale (it is rare but it does happen), it's fate and it's your duty as a Stokke Lover to mount a rescue and provide it with a new and happy home.
Second hand bargains on ebay and Gumtree are still out there, but search in your local area for 'collection only' listings as they tend to be cheaper.
Before you get stuck in, give the paint you are planning to use careful consideration. If your new Tripp Trapp is going to be in daily use, I would steer clear of chalk paints like Annie Sloan or Autentico. They might be all the rage, but they aren't made to withstand toddlers!
For the best finish, go for a multi purpose spray paint. Painter's Touch and Plasti-Kote are both perfect with lots of colours to choose from.
I wanted my Tripp Trapp to be the same bright pink as my office wall, so I used a tin of leftover satin emulsion and a paintbrush but you really can use anything. Just adapt the method below.
Preparation is everything if you want your finished Tripp Trapp to look flawless. And, yes, I know you're excited but this really is the most important step.
The first Tripp Trapp I painted was my original un-treated, natural, that was bought back in 2000 (before I worked for Stokke). It's been used daily since then and wasn't really in need of a makeover, but I had half a tin of bright pink emulsion that was yelling USE ME.
Because my Tripp Trapp is un-treated it didn't need much prep, but if you are working on any other finish you do need to give it a good all over sanding before you begin.
There are two reasons for this; 1. To remove any surface scratches and 2. To ensure you can get it back together when you've finished painting it!
After sanding, give it a thorough clean with a non abrasive cleaner like Sugar soap and then leave it to dry naturally, overnight if you have to, but don't rush!
For a professional result you need to take your Tripp Trapp to pieces before painting it. Yes, it takes longer to paint, but skipping this bit of advice will come back to bite you when you want to make alterations as your child grows.
I know this is obvious but put your screws and metal bars somewhere safe and away from your painting area!
Both Painter's Touch and Plasti-Kote primer are perfect. If you aren't spraying, use a gloss roller, rather than a paintbrush to prevent those annoying brush strokes from ruining your project. If you are spraying, make sure you are in a well-ventilated area (and that your cat isn't hiding ready to join in and help without warning).
Lay the pieces out so that they don't overlap and give your paint a really good shake.
Apply a light even coat of primer to each piece and leave to dry.
Apply your second light coat and then leave them dry completely before turning over and repeating on the other side.
Don't be tempted to go crazy and use too much paint or you will have difficulty when it comes to assembling. Drying time will vary depending on your primer so read the label on the tin and follow the manufacturer's instructions. It needs to dry completely before applying your colour!
You will need two or three, light coats of colour to get a professional, even finish. If two coats is all it needs, you don't need to add another.
Apply your first coat of colour in the same way as the primer and leave to dry.
Apply your second coat (and third if needed), then leave for 24 hours to dry completely before turning over and repeating on the other side.
There are lots of top coats to choose from, depending on the finish you want to achieve. I like Rust-oleum's Crystal Clear.
Apply two light coats as above and leave to dry completely before assembling.
Put your newly-painted Tripp Trapp back together again.
If you need colour inspiration, check out the Pantone iPhone app it's awesome! If you have before and after pics from your own Tripp Trapp makeovers, we'd love to feature them. Pop us an email with your pics, what paint you used and any top tips you have and we'll feature you as a case study.
A very big thank you to Lissani and Ivy for the case study pics.
We've found a couple of additional Tripp Trapp makeover posts over at Mummy2Five and The Keifer Cottage.
Thanks for these great tips! I'm hoping to score this used Tripp Trapp from Kijiji. Wish me luck! | {

United States (International) Keyboard Labels quantity
SKU: KA-US-INTL-20865. Categories: Accessories, Language Labels, T-U - Languages.
The United States (International)keyboard labels conform to the United States (International) keyboard layout in Windows XP. The labels are printed on clear Lexan® so the original key legend shows through; this allows you to add United States (International) labels to your existing keyboard so that it becomes a bilingual keyboard (United States and the original language of your keyboard). The labels are available in blue letters on clear labels (for beige and light colored keyboards) and white letters on clear labels (for dark colored keyboards). This label supports the keyboard layout for: United States (International). This language is supported in Windows Vista, XP, ME, 98, and 95.
United States (International) labels are a very economical option for creating a bilingual United States (International)keyboard. The language labels use an easy peel-and-stick method to install. They will not damage the original keyboard key. The letters are printed on the underside of the United States (International) labels so that the lettering will not wear out. This affords you with many years of durable use.
Durable labels. Labels are manufactured of durable Lexan®. They won't tear, crack, discolor, or slip off even after years of use.
Quality Printing. The printing is on the underside of the label so the INK NEVER WEARS OFF OR SCRATCHES OFF.
Easy to Apply. The labels are EASY TO APPLY. The labels are printed in the same sequence that they appear on the keyboard regardless of the keyboard's original language. If necessary, labels can be cut with scissors for special installations.
Quality Adhesive. The label adhesive firmly attaches the label in place without damaging the keyboard key or the original key legend.
Removable. If desired, Labels may be removed without causing damage to the original key or the legend on the key.
Accurate Die-Cutting. Labels are printed with rounded corners so they cover the key top and will not pop off in use.
Complete Alphanumeric Set. The label sets include labels to cover all of the alphanumeric keys on the keyboard. The sets do not include the function keys, the control keys, or the numeric keypad.
Bilingual Keyboard. The clear labels do not interfere with the original characters printed on the key.
Durable and Flexible. Labels are flexible enough to allow you to feel the touch-typing bumps on the F and J keys.
Label size: 7/16″ w X 9/16″ H (11mm W X 14mm H)
Check your keyboard to ensure that it is compatible. DataCal bilingual labels have the letters and numbers on the right side of the label. These labels are compatible with keyboards that have the letters printed on the left side of the key. The labels are not compatible with keyboards that have the letter printing in the middle or on the right side of the key top.
Data Callanguage labels are designed to fit desktop and laptop computer keyboards. Laptops with smaller than standard keys may not be compatible with the DataCal label sets.
How to Setup an International Language in Windows
You must first configure Windows for the international language that you wish to use. After you configure Windows, you will be able to manually select the international language when you wish to use it. For additional information on language setup, see the Windows Help file system of contact Microsoft technical support.

Instructions for Typing United States (International) in Windows
Deadkeys
The United States (International) keyboard layout uses a system of deadkeys (highlighted in yellow below) to type certain accented characters. To use the deadkey system, first type the deadkey; nothing will appear on the screen. Next, type the key (generally a vowel) that you wish to combine with the deadkey. You should then see the accented character that you want on the screen. If you press a deadkey and then a press a key that does not go with that accent (such as pressing an accent and the number "2"),nothing happens; the accent deadkey must be correct to work. Depending upon the language, deadkeys work with both unshifted and shifted keys.
The AltGr Key
Many languages include more characters than can be typed on a standard computer keyboard. To solve this problem, additional characters may be assigned to the right AltGr key (the right Alt key) and/or the Shifted AltGr key. In Europe, the right Alt key is referred to as the AltGr key. In the United States, it is merely the right Alt key. It is important to note that the left Alt key cannot be used as the AltGr key.
Characters that require the AltGr key appear to the left in the DataCal labels (see illustration to the left). On the number keys, the AltGr characters are centered at the bottom of the label. Shifted AltGr keys are centered at the top of the label. For alpha keys, the AltGr characters are in the lower left corner of the label. Shifted AltGr characters (if different from the lower case AltGr characters), are centered at the top of the label.
Combination Keys
Many languages that use a complex script method of input, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Punjabi, Hindi, etc., require that you type two or more keys in combination to product certain characters. This system is different from the AltGr deadkey because it does not use the AltGr (i.e., the right Alt key) to produce the characters.
To type the combination characters, first press the key for the first letter in the combination; nothing will display on the screen. Next press the second letter required in the combination. When the combination is complete, it will display on the screen. Languages use more key combinations than can be listed here. The user should experiment with the language setup in Windows to see exactly what is required to produce the necessary characters using the key combinations.

Energy opportunities in the DRC
Opportunities to support and develop energy projects in the DRC are abundant. To create a more stable environment, energy is the DRC's first economic priority. Any company active in the energy sector and offering realistic solutions will have a good chance to succeed.
The need is present, the international support is ready, feasible solutions are in demand.
Now that the election period is over and a government has been formed, the DRC's infrastructure needs are again at the top of the agenda. Many investors, exporters, developers and financiers are very seriously looking together with the government at the most urgent infrastructure requirements. The DRC's factories, mines, IT & telecoms, and services sectors all need power and, of course, as do small businesses and households. It is said that the DRC could provide a large part of the African continent with power given its huge potential in hydropower. Currently, access within the DRC to power is about 42% in urban areas and just a mere 0.4% in rural areas (source Lighting Africa). Therefore, a national power plan is the first step.
At this moment, projects of a reasonable size, which are relatively easy to realise and that require modest financial means, are at the forefront. Whatever the project or its size, the project structure should be clear and solid and the regulatory environment must allow it.
Action is required concerning the national grid and for the DRC's large energy consumers, which are typically mines, as well as on an off-grid level to provide municipalities with power. The public power company, SNEL (Société Nationale d'Electricité), faces challenges to structure its organisation and management. The law on PPP of 9 July 2018 (Loi n°18/016 du 9 juillet 2018) offers a legal framework and is sufficiently broad in its regulations to allow creative solutions.
On 17 August 2019, the new president, Felix Tshisekedi, declared making access to power the first economic priority ('J'ai demandé que l'accès à l'électricité soit inscrit comme la première priorité économique de mon quinquennat').
SNEL could enter into a new private PowerCo with international power companies, private equity and funders as partners/shareholders. The largest national consumers of electricity who will benefit from a stable provision of power to their installations could have a minority stake. Such private companies can organise themselves in an OfftakeCo that will conclude a PPA with the PowerCo. Such a structure ensures that SNEL is involved, that the off-takers are aware of the steps of PowerCo, and that the off-takers provide a long term power price (i.e. cash flow) via the PPA to PowerCo that enables the financial investment to be covered. It will be important to ensure that all actors have a view on what is needed and happening at the level of energy production, energy distribution and energy consumption. It is the recipe for creating trust and will help to make progress in each area. The legal framework in the DRC allows for this goal to be realised. However, the national interest and the interest of some large energy consumers will have to be carefully balanced. This will be a task for high-end legal skills, not from an 'ivory tower' perspective, but using real knowledge and experience of the specific local environment.
In addition, the off-grid power generation can develop at the same time due to the opportunity to acquire a package deal consisting of solar panels, inverters, distribution cables and a payment system. It requires limited financing and is easy to implement.
The coming months will be important for the Ministries of Budget, Industry, Finance, Mining and Infrastructure to set out a feasible and realistic power plan. The challenges are huge and the DRC is encouraging all sector players to join forces and make a true start to supplying power in the DRC. The potential to export power to other countries is a topic for the more distant future.

By Dina Rosenfeld Young Avraham and Dovid, Little Rivka and Miriam showed their greatness at a very early age. Highlighting the exceptional qualities of these four Jewish heroes can encourage children to be brave, seek truth and display kindness.
Clever and brave, little Miriam is a true Torah heroine. When King Pharoh wants to take all Jewish baby boys away from their families, Miriam watches her own baby brother and finds a way to keep him at home.
Miriam is a little girl who loves to help her mother in her work as a midwife for all the babies born to the Jews in ancient Egypt. When the wicked Pharaoh declares that all new baby boys will be destroyed, Miriam speaks up and when her own baby brother needing help she immediately comes to his rescue. Written for young readers ages 2 to 5, A Little Girl Named Miriam is a wonderful picturebook based upon a great Torah heroine. Diana Rosenfeld's lively retelling of the Biblical account is enhanced with additional background derived from the Midrash and the impressively colorful artwork of Ilene Lederer. A Little Girl Named Miriam is fun to read and very highly recommended picturebook for family, school and community library collections.
By Yeshara Gold Follow Raffi, a lively five-year-old who lives in the Old City of Jerusalem, and watch him get ready for Shabbat and Pesach. Great full-color pictures of the Old City.
By Susan Cornell Poskanzer Short descriptive poems accompanied by color photographs invite the reader to guess the answer to simple riddles about religious holidays. Ephemeral holiday fare.
By Chani Sonnenfeld Colorful activity book with games, puzzles, stories, and rhymes. | {

This project seems to be overwhelming when finished.. Battle is quite appealing with macedonian phalanx and war elephants in the same place!
I am not sure how I have missed this Mr T.
Looking forward to see it all come together.
Looking great! No wonder the desk is crowded! Having so many elephants on it!
I really like all of these. The phalanx looks great, the charging cavalry looks great, I love the look of the warriors with crested helmets and the elephants are wonderful.
These figures look fabulous fighting across your desktop, they'll look awesome in a diorama.
Thanks everyone, working on chariots and glue gun went warm as I undertook another box of the Phalangites from HaT. Primed and ready for painting.
Almost complete, as you can see, in this batch I have added more variety as uniforms were still a unknown concept.
I also think that I like to see more phalangites. Especially yours!
Well another box being prepared, also may I ask an admin to correct the postimage links in this thread?
March of the elephants..but probably won't use these for Hydaspes, but for Successor Wars, need better more Indian looking..
I'm happy to see each new post with photos in this topic.
What brand of decals did you use? Did you use decal softening solutions or just plain water?

I just use water no softening solution.
step by step, that looks better and better as more and more figures get finished!!! | {
