who said the teaser of captain america civil war was a little too long | Captain America: Civil War most social media activity out of all the film trailers released that day. Anthony Breznican of "Entertainment Weekly" said the footage "actually feels a little more like a teaser [than a full trailer], since it shows some new shots, but really doesn’t reveal much more about the story." Additionally, he felt the chanting "unseen voices calling out, 'United...We...Stand' and 'Divided...We...Fall'" had "a football stadium vibe", complimenting it appearing during the Super Bowl. Mendelson added that Marvel did not need to follow the model used for "The Winter Soldier" during Super Bowl XLVIII of showing a longer trailer after the teaser | paq |

I especially enjoyed the names of the chapters | AMY FALLS DOWN by Jincy Willet
After a slow start I really found myself enjoying the witty (though very dry) humor in this book. Amy grows on you as you discover more of her character and background. I especially enjoyed the names of the chapters, trying to see if I could find the relationship as I read. Another part I liked was the topics Amy lists as story ideas/titles. They give another clue to Amys persona. Amys students are delightful, clearly and carefully drawn.
While the entire book is a put down of pretentious authors, it is also the story of a very human woman who has great sorrows to surmount. As is true with all good humor, there is also tragedy to provide contrast. Willett deals well with both. (spoiler alert Maxines recovery is the one deviation from realistic outcomes in an otherwise well-paced and plotted tale.)
Anyone who enjoys a good read and, equally, a bad read, will enjoy this writers delight. If you are a potential novelist, there is much food for thought.
Book groups will have a field day with a variety of topics truth vs fiction, honest criticism, how you see yourself as opposed to how others see you, marriage of convenience, dealing with rude/stupid/ignorant people (and being rude/stupid/ignorant yourself), personal growth and change, phobias and others. | amazon_reviews |

Residents of whites-only enclave in Northern Cape province insist they're not racist .
Established in 1991 during dying days of apartheid .
Town, population 1,000, even has its own currency, the Ora . | By . Nick Enoch . 'Welkom in Orania' proclaims a mural, painted in white, blue and orange. But this South African town, in the remote Northern Cape province, does not extend its welcome to everyone. The colour scheme on the wall - accompanied by the community emblem of a boy pulling up his sleeves - harks back to the old apartheid flag. Orania, one of the last outposts of racial segregation, is a whites-only enclave. Around 1,000 people live in the rural community, established in 1991 during the last years of apartheid. A young boy plays by a painted wall reading 'Welkom in Orania' in Afrikaans in the whites-only enclave . Afrikaner pupils attend a lesson with their teacher in the 'white' town founded in the desolate Northern Cape province in 1991 . Curator of the Orania Museum, Gideon de Kock. The town comprises around 1,000 Afrikaners who strive to be self-sufficient . Built on 8,000 hectares of private farmland along the Orange River in the desolate region of Karoo, it has schools, a museum and even its own currency, the Ora. All the residents are Afrikaners - descendants of white migrants of Dutch and German heritage - who make up about 7 per cent of South Africa's population. Yet despite there being no black faces in sight, they insist the town is not racist. 'When new people come to Orania, they are . interviewed by a group of people to make sure that they have sufficient . understanding of what the town is about,' Carel Boshoff IV, the . son of the late founder of the town, Carel Boshoff III, told Sowetan Live. Carel is also the great son-in-law of former prime minister Henrik Verwoerd, the architect of apartheid. Many of the inhabitants of Orania are farmers or traders, and prefer to have as little dealing as possible with the outside world . The de Beer family are among those who have chosen to make Orania their home . Built on 8,000 hectares of private farmland along the Orange River in the desolate region of Karoo, the town has schools, shops and even its own currency, the Ora. Above, the Jonck family . Among those to have made Orania their home is Kobus Jonck, a sheep farmer who moved there with his family last year. 'We are safe here. We do not worry about locking our cars at night, even the . (house) doors... they are never locked,' he said. Orania's motto is 'Working for freedom' - and many other inhabitants like him are self-sufficient farmers or traders. Racial segregation in South Africa began in colonial times under Dutch and British rule but became official policy in 1948, enforced through legislation by the National Party - the majority of whom were Afrikaners. A cashier holds Orania's currency. The town authorities hope that one day, Orania will become an independent state . Radio presenters work at Orania's only local station. The town population is said to be growing at a rate of 9 per cent a year . Fast forward to the present day, and Orania's town authorities believe what they're doing is the best way to preserve Afrikaner culture and language. They hope that, eventually, the town will become an independent state for the Afrikaner people, who total 3million. Its officials claim the population is growing at a rate of 9 per cent a year. Furthermore, Orania is protected under article 235 of South Africa's Constitution . which ensures the right to self-determination. Carel Boshoff, president of the Orania movement and son of the late founder of Orania, also called Carel Boshoff. He is the great son-in-law of late prime minister Hendrik Verwoerd, the architect of apartheid . Members of Orania's municipal council hold a meeting . Statues of apartheid 'heroes' are displayed above the town . The legislation recognises 'the notion of the right of self-determination of any community sharing a common cultural and language heritage within a territorial entity within the republic'. But despite their optimism, some residents are uncomfortable about the future. In 1995, in a conciliatory gesture, Nelson Mandela went to Orania to meet Betsie Verwoerd - the widow of Hendrik, the man who virtually invented white rule, and who sent Mandela to jail . One waiter at a bar is convinced 'black South Africans will kill all white people' when anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela dies. Mandela became South Africa's first black president in 1994 after spending 27 years in prison for his fight against racist apartheid rule, and was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. In 1995, in a conciliatory gesture, he went to Orania to meet Betsie Verwoerd - the widow of the man who virtually invented white rule, and who sent Mandela to jail. The town boasts a statue of her husband, Hendrik, who was assassinated in 1966. She said she was happy the then 77-year-old president was able to visit her. But Betsie's granddaughter, Elizabeth van der Berg, was more guarded in her reaction, saying, 'We wish he was the president of a neighboring country.' After Mrs Verwoerd and Mandela shared a cup of coffee and some cakes, the apartheid architect's widow read a speech in Afrikaans as she leaned on her cane. 'I identify myself with the wishes of my people for a volkstaat ['people's state'], which I believe could be developed in this part of the country,' she said, according to an English translation of her speech. But Mandela said: 'I want a united South Africa, where we can cease to think in terms of color.' A desire that is shared by many. | cnn |

General word for "otaku" ? | I have had this knowledge of a specific word in Japanese that is almost synonymous with otaku, but not as negative in conotation. The word I'm refering to is meant to describe a small following (or fanbase, excited people, whatever) which is relied upon by the creator to spread knowledge about their particular creation, thereby increasing awareness exponentially. Something like how Pokemon, or manga, or Nintendo gained a huge, involved fandom, by marketing to a specific, (relatively) small demographic which then "spread the word".
Could anyone here help me find that specific word/concept which I remember reading that it is Japanese in origin?

La0.5Ba0.5MnO3 nanowires were synthesized by a hydrothermal method at low reaction temperature (270 °C). The synthesized nanowires are of pure, cubic perovskite structure and single crystalline. They grow along [110]; their surfaces are clean, very regular, and without any sheathed amorphous phase. Typical lengths of the nanowires are in the range of several to several tens of micrometers, and typical widths are in the range of 30–150 nm. Nanowires may be an ideal system for studying dimensionally confined transport phenomena in perovskite manganites and for fabricating field sensors and other devices. | Perovskite oxide manganites with a general formula of R1-xAx MnO3 (where R is a trivalent rare-earth element such as La, Pr, Sm, and A is a divalent alkaline-earth element such as Ca, Sr, and Ba) have received much attention due to their unusual electron-transport and magnetic properties, which are indispensable for applications in microelectronic, magnetic, and spintronic devices. Recent advances in the science and technology have resulted in the feature sizes of microelectronic devices based on perovskite manganite oxides down-scaling into nanoscale dimensions. At the nanoscale, low-dimensional perovskite manganite oxide nanostructures display novel physical properties that are different from their bulk and film counterparts. Recently, there is strong experimental evidence to indicate that the low-dimensional perovskite manganite oxide nanostructures are electronically inhomogeneous, consisting of different spatial regions with different electronic orders, a phenomenon that is named as electronic phase separation (EPS). As the geometry sizes of the low-dimensional manganite nanostructures are reduced to the characteristic EPS length scale (typically several tens of nanometers in manganites), the EPS is expected to be strongly modulated, leading to quite dramatic changes in functionality and more emergent phenomena. Therefore, reduced dimensionality opens a door to the new functionalities in perovskite manganite oxides and offers a way to gain new insight into the nature of EPS. During the past few years, much progress has been made in understanding the physical nature of the EPS in low-dimensional perovskite manganite nanostructures both from experimentalists and theorists, which have a profound impact on the oxide nanoelectronics. This nanoreview covers the research progresses of the EPS in low-dimensional perovskite manganite nanostructures such as nanoparticles, nanowires/nanotubes, and nanostructured films and/or patterns. The possible physical origins of the EPS are also discussed from the signatures of electronic inhomogeneities as well as some theoretical scenarios, to shed light on understanding this phenomenon. Finally, the perspectives to the future researches in this area are also outlined. | s2orc_abstract_citation |
Learning a sparse dictionary of video structure for activity modeling | We present an approach which incorporates spatiotemporal features as well as the relationships between them, into a sparse dictionary learning framework for activity recognition. We propose that the dictionary learning framework can be adapted to learning complex relationships between features in an unsupervised manner. From a set of training videos, a dictionary is learned for individual features, as well as the relationships between them using a stacked predictive sparse decomposition framework. This combined dictionary provides a representation of the structure of the video and is spatio-temporally pooled in a local manner to obtain descriptors. The descriptors are then combined using a multiple kernel learning framework to design classifiers. Experiments have been conducted on two popular activity recognition datasets to demonstrate the superior performance of our approach on single person as well as multi-person activities. | s2orc_title_abstract |

The satellite‐based Automatic Identification System (AIS) system has continuously been developed by the shipping industry in recent years. This paper introduces the satellite‐based AIS including the concept, the system structure, the development and its new applications. The Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) system, which is mandatory to be required on certain classes of ships engaged on international voyages to report their position at least every six hours using onboard communication means however, has similar kind of function of ship monitoring with the satellite‐based AIS system. Based on the basic introduction of the LRIT system, this paper presents the comprehensive comparison between satellite‐based AIS and LRIT in terms of the ship’s cost, the communication scheme, the monitoring coverage, the information details and the information creditability. The conclusion that the satellite‐based AIS should be encouraged to effectively play a complement role to the LRIT system is advanced in the paper. | The Automatic identification System (AIS) has been mainly designed to improve safety and efficiency of navigation, environmental protection, coastal traffic monitoring simplifying identification and communication. Additionally, historical AIS data have been used in many other areas of maritime safety, economic and environmental research. The probability of the detection of terrestrial AIS signals from space was presented in 2003, following the advancements in micro satellite technology. Through constant development, research and cooperation between governmental and private sectors, Satellite AIS (S-AIS) has been continuously evolving. Advancements in signal and data processing techniques have resulted in an improved detection over vast areas outside of terrestrial range. Some of the challenges of S-AIS technology include satellite revisit times, message collision and ship detection probability. Data processing latency and lacking the continuous real-time coverage made it less reliable for end user in certain aspects of monitoring and data analysis. Recent developments and improvements by leading S-AIS service providers have reduced latency issues. Complementing with terrestrial AIS and other technologies, near real-time S- AIS can further enhance all areas of the global maritime monitoring domain with emerging possibilities for maritime industry. | s2orc_abstract_citation |

Breach At Target Stores May Affect 40 Million Card Accounts | Target Corp. acknowledged early Thursday that there was a massive security breach of its customers' credit and debit card accounts starting the day before Thanksgiving and extending at least to Dec. 15 — the heart of the holiday shopping season. "Approximately 40 million credit and debit card accounts may have been impacted," the retailer said. The hacking involved not only Target-issued cards but those from other issuers as well. The size of the breach puts it in the upper echelon of recent hackings into consumers' payment accounts. As The Wall Street Journal reminds readers: "One of the biggest incidents to hit the industry took place in 2007, when thieves stole card numbers and personal data on up to 90 million cards belonging to people who had shopped at stores owned by TJX, parent of T.J. Maxx, HomeGoods and other discount chains. "In July, federal prosecutors unsealed criminal charges in an ongoing investigation of a group of people believed to have stolen more than 160 million credit and debit card numbers from companies including J.C. Penney Co., 7-Eleven, Nasdaq OMX Group, JetBlue Inc. and others over several years." The data breach at Target was first reported by Brian Krebs, an independent journalist who focuses on security news and blogs at Krebs on Security. According to Minneapolis' Star Tribune: "A spokeswoman for American Express confirmed the breach in an interview with the Star Tribune, and the Secret Service confirmed to The Wall Street Journal and the Associated Press that it has begun its own investigation." In its Thursday statement, Target says it has "resolved the issue" and is working with authorities "to bring those responsible to justice." The retailer has 1,797 stores in the U.S. and 124 in Canada. The Star Tribune notes that: "Thieves in possession of account numbers could use the information to make counterfeit credit cards and, if the personal identification numbers for the cards were also intercepted, the phony cards could be used to withdraw cash from ATMs. "Consumers should watch their card statements for bogus charges and notify their banks if they see any so they won't be liable." Krebs reports that "there are no indications at this time that the breach affected customers who shopped at Target's online stores." The targets appear to have been customers who went to one of the retailer's brick-and-mortar locations. | npr |

NOT the same as the original. Inappropriate cheer, no cool book jacket. | This edition is NOT AS GOOD as the original and like an earlier review, there is an inappropriate cheer about Kill, Hate, Mutilate (page 103). We originally bought the 2006 edition at a Half Price Books and my 10 year old daughter LOVES it-that edition comes with a cool reversible book jacket and a Chemistry title that she loves too.
I bought this book as a gift to another girl thinking it would be like the original, but I would NEVER give this as a gift. It would be embarrassed to have another parent see that "Cheer" in a book I bought for their child.
Returning this book. | amazon_reviews |
