BkiUgEHxK0zjCobCRLkS | A recent study found that despite the Federal Class Action Fairness Act and various state tort reform measures, the number of newly filed federal class actions has actually increased. This development can be attributed to a number of factors. Class actions are a favored procedural vehicle for the aggregation of large numbers of smaller claims, as well as an opportunity for plaintiffs' lawyers to utilize the class mechanism to their strategic advantage. Since these complex cases are disruptive to operations, costly to defend, and a significant threat to business reputation and financial well-being, they require skilled defense attorneys to shepherd them through the process.
The Porzio Class Action Defense group has years of experience defending class action cases as primary counsel or as the local counsel member of the national defense team. Our extensive history handling federal and state cases enables us to develop key strategies to defeat certification and defend the underlying case. While defending the procedural aspects of class cases, our team also focuses on preparing for trial and, when appropriate, creatively devising mediation and settlement strategies. An added benefit of working with Porzio is the guidance provided by our resident former jurists in developing strategy and "mock" arguments and mediations.
Our team has defended class actions for companies in a broad range of industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical, medical device and distribution, title insurance, and consumer electronics. These cases involve a variety of causes of action, including strict liability, negligence, warranty, contract, trespass, property damage, nuisance, and environmental regulatory violations. We have also developed substantial experience in defending consumer fraud cases. Early in a case, our defense approach is to conduct an internal investigation of the claims with the assistance of preeminent consultants and experts. In doing so, we focus on the critical issues associated with class certification, as this is frequently the most important procedural and sometimes substantive issue. Our overarching goal is to "de-leverage" the plaintiffs' certification case and ensure that the client is not unfairly pressured into a premature settlement that may invite copycat litigation. We always keep in mind the broader implications of the suits we defend by assessing the potential range of exposure, narrowing discovery through aggressive motion practice and case management, and positioning the case for dispositive motion practice before or after opposition to class certification.
While clients have their choice of counsel, it is no surprise when they choose Porzio. The principals in our Class Action Defense group offer a breadth of assets borne of decades of trial experience, a proven track record of defending class actions, a committed approach to aggressive investigation and planning, and an intensive background in working closely with a stable of preeminent consultants and experts to defend the litigation. Several of our lawyers are Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as Civil Trial Attorneys. Each of our team leaders have more than twenty years of experience, and, collectively, more than a century. Their experience and dedication along with their cost-effective approach, commitment to communication, and client-lawyer team approach, set the Porzio team apart. For these reasons, companies and their national and regional counsel depend upon the Porzio "edge" when class action litigation brings them to New Jersey or the New York metropolitan area. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdgM4uzlh5TJwItuY | We live in a politically correct society today. So, does that ever have you wondering about your copy and your headlines? Do you ever wonder if your text is off-putting to people or just what the fuss is all about?
First, we're going to tell you upfront that this is ultimately your decision. You know your target audience best, and if you don't, you should.
What we are going to do is present a case for both sides, and then you can decide where you fall. So, let's get to it.
Here's a bit of background as to why your headline decision is so important.
You might remember that Starbucks started its very own controversy last Christmas when it debuted its red holiday cup.
Since the iconic Christmas cup debuted in 1997, it's had several winter-themed designs. Coffee drinkers would have seen snowflakes, reindeer, snowmen and ornaments at one time or another.
The cup was described as a "two-toned ombré design with a bright poppy color on top that shades into a darker cranberry below." And, there wasn't a Santa or a reindeer in sight.
Many Starbucks users were infuriated, while Starbucks simply said they wanted users to add their own doodles to the cup. One unhappy customer went so far as to tell the barista his name was Merry Christmas so it would end up on the cup.
So, what's all the fuss? It turns out we live in an era of increasing attention to political correctness.
You just might be wondering if you'll set off a firestorm like Starbucks did by writing a headline, or even an email subject line that says Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. You're sure to offend someone, right?
According to a Pew Research poll, nine out of ten Americans celebrate Christmas. So, you might wonder why so many people care about the terminology.
It appears that in this day and age, someone is bound to take offense if you use Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas in your headlines.
After all, Christmas is a very public holiday, and not everyone ties it to religion.
Websites all over the Internet feature trees, Santa, reindeer and gifts. Basically, everyone you meet wants to tell you something, whether it be Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas.
If you decide to use Merry Christmas in your headlines, you just might be all right because to many people Christmas isn't Jesus, it's holiday parties, presents and ugly sweaters.
Before you decide to forgo the words Merry Christmas in your headlines ask yourself if you're being overly cautious. Are you trying so hard not to offend a few that you'll end up offending many?
Several retail giants throughout the last few years like Lowe's, Home Depot, Sears, WalMart, Target, Best Buy and the Gap have tried to abandon the word Christmas for more mundane terms, and the backlash has been swift and vocal.
If your business can't afford the customer push back, and you aren't concerned with political correctness, and the words, Merry Christmas, mean a lot to you and your business, by all means use them in your headlines.
Finally, while no one is suggesting your brand get religious, you do have to be careful of marginalizing the world's faithful by throwing them into a land of political correctness with your headlines.
Can your online business afford the negativity if you don't use Merry Christmas?
On the flip side, there are many today who would say banish Merry Christmas and only use Happy Holidays. They see no gray area and are quite adamant about their decision.
To many people, Happy Holidays is simply the acceptable term. Yet, with it affecting so few, why even bother deleting Merry Christmas?
People today want to be inclusive of all cultures, all religions and all belief systems. They believe Happy Holidays or Seasons Greetings encompasses this for the world at large.
You might find some people telling you to use Happy Holidays in your headlines because you should want every customer to feel welcome when shopping or visiting your website.
Using Merry Christmas as a headline will exclude about 25% of your audience, unless it's a "Merry Christmas" group.
Happy holidays lets you cater to all of your paying customers.
Do you know why your headline text matters? The father of advertising believed it to be the most important thing on your page.
That being said, we've presented you with both sides – Merry Christmas versus Happy Holidays in your headlines.
A Public Religion Research Institute survey asked a group of Americans if retailers should use Happy Holidays or Seasons Greetings instead of Merry Christmas. Surprisingly, the yes and no answers were very nearly split in half.
Yet, it also turns out that people's preference depends on what part of the country they live in.
What do you think? Are you going to go out on a limb and use Merry Christmas as your landing page headline, or are you going to play it safe with Happy Holidays in your headline text?
Or, are you going to do what we recommend over and over again – test your landing pages – one headline says Merry Christmas, and the other says Happy Holidays. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUdxU4ubnhAvmH7TXO | Widow maker Brewing
City of Presidents American Pale Ale available exclusively at Quincy Center bars, restaurants
A complex, easy-drinking all-American craft beer
from Widowmaker Brewing
City of Presidents American Pale Ale is scheduled to arrive at Quincy Center bars and restaurants on Friday, August 17, the first and only craft beer brewed exclusively for distribution in Historic Quincy.
The deliciously flavorful, complex but easy-drinking pale ale was crafted by Widowmaker Brewingof Wood Road in Braintree, steps from the Quincy line.
"This beer celebrates the history of a great American city and pays homage to downtown Quincy's rapid rise as one of the region's most dynamic new dining destinations," said head brewer Ryan Lavery of Widowmaker Brewing, a former longtime Quincy resident. "Quincy businesses and residents have supported our brand in great numbers and we're excited to provide this exclusive offering."
The beer is being released at a time when Quincy Center is enjoying a construction boom and is about to welcome a second wave of new eateries on the heels of last year's arrival of 10 new dining destinations.
Pending newcomers include Idle Hour, a cocktail-centric neighborhood bar featuring dishes from celebrated former Drink chef de cuisine Ashley Gaboriault; Rewild Plant Food + Drink, touted as America's first plant-based beer hall and café; and Belfry, a new urban beer hall from the team behind critically acclaimed Quincy Center cocktail boite The Townshend.
The City of Quincy is also about to celebrate the opening of its world-class new downtown green space, the Hancock-Adams Common, in a Sept. 8 ceremony featuring local dignitaries, Mayor Tom Koch, Governor Charlie Baker and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and John Adams biographer David McCullough. This public park, boasting green space, fountains and monumental statuary of Quincy natives and Founding Fathers John Hancock and John Adams, promises to be the centerpiece of the new and improved Quincy Center.
In the spirit of Quincy's historic past and bright future, City of Presidents American Pale Ale is a brewed with 100 percent all-American ingredients, including domestic malts and a blend of classic and nouveau American hops: Amarillo, Cascade and Citra.
It's a cloudy hop-forward pale ale in the popular "New England style" of craft beer, but one that features a brilliant lemonade-yellow hue from the use of lightly toasted American malts. The sunny color symbolizes the dawn of a new day for Quincy Center. The beer's soft texture and mouthfeel come from its use of American flaked oats.
City of Presidents American Pale Ale tastes great on its own or paired with favorite summertime dishes.
The beer is available in 16-ounce cans with a label that features the facade of Quincy landmark Church of the Presidents, plus modernized images of Quincy's favorite sons chilling out with sunglasses drinking this cool new brew: President John Adams, President John Quincy Adams and President of the Second Continental Congress John Hancock.
The label was designed by Quincy artist Jacob Callaway of Verified Beer Traders.
The first run of City of Presidents American Pale Ale will be available exclusively at Quincy Center bars and restaurants, including 16C, Alba, Angelo's Coal Fired Pizza, Cagney's, Fat Cat, The Fours, Fowler House, Fuji at WOC, Idle Hour, Malachy's, Paddy Barry's, The Pour Yard, Rozafa, S6, Shaking Crab, The Townshend and Zef Cicchetti & Raw Bar.

Meet the Brewers: Freshman Class of 2018
The Mass Brewers Guild Highlights New Breweries with Roundtable Tasting Event - Saturday, March 3 from Noon to 3 p.m.
NATICK, Mass.| Haven't had the chance to check out some of the state's newest breweries? The Mass Brewers Guild has you covered.

"We had a record-breaking number of breweries launch in the state last year - 39 to be exact - and we are expecting 25 additional breweries to come on board in 2018," says Katie Stinchon, executive director of the Mass Brewers Guild. "This event makes it easier for our craft beer fans to keep track of our freshman breweries, and gives them the opportunity to wrap their lips around some of the Bay state's new beer. This is the second year that we are hosting this event. It's a different approach to a beer festival that both our attendees and brewers really enjoy."
How does the event work? Upon arrival, guests will be broken up into groups of eight. Each group will then have twelve minutes with each brewer to enjoy up to three samples, ask questions, and hear the story behind the beer and the brewery before rotating to the next brewer. Attendees will receive a souvenir MBG tasting glass and gourmet, Bavarian pretzels from Wicked Twisted Pretzels.
Meet the Brewers: Freshman Class of 2018 will take place at Lookout Farm Brewing Co., 89 Pleasant Street South, Natick, Mass, on Saturday, March 3 from noon to 3 p.m. Tickets are limited.

BkiUfVk5qhLBoPwGq848 | The making and the crisis of social democracy in Turkey has a structural and historical context. It is also an agent of Turkish political modernisation which is an authoritarian one. In this sense it is interrelated with the constitutive ideology and the parameters of Turkey's hegemonic state discourse, namely Kemalism. The condition faced by Turkish social democracy is an outcome of the crisis of modernity started in the 1980s and in the 1990s, under such influences as postmodernism and globalisation. In order to reach the deep causes of the crisis the analysis develops both on the vertical and horizontal axis, the first encompassing the internal and the latter encircling the external conditions. As the main cause of the crisis is assumed to be the nationalist, parochial character of Turkish social democracy, and its inability in getting adopted to the new emerging conditions, the thesis, as a conclusion, develops a prospective approach drawing on the recent theories that has helped the upheaval of this political ideology in West-European countries. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUa4s4uBhhxHcw_nz5 | Alleged Rape By Recent Prison Parolee Raised Questions: Massachusetts Parole Board Flawed? Part Two of Two
September 13, 2008 | William D. Kickham, Esq.
In my previous post, I discussed the arrest last week on rape charges of a recent Massachusetts prison parolee, one Richard Flowers, released two months ago in July. While this year isn't an election year in Massachusetts for statewide offices such as Governor, you can be assured that if it were, this case would be the "Willie Horton" of 2008. For readers who may not know, Willie Horton was a Massachusetts prison parolee who went on to kill someone after being paroled in 1988. The case was used by then-President George H.W. Bush, in the 1988 Presiential election race, as a centerpeice argument against voting for Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, who came to embody charges of liberal prison parole policies.
Did the Parole Board make a mistake in this matter? Should Flowers' application for parole have been granted? Critics of his release will probably argue that his release is an example of a system gone bad; that too many violent convicts are released on parole, when they should be kept in prison to serve their full sentence. In essence, that the corrections and parole system are too lax. But was that the case here? It doesn't appear that way. To begin with, it needs to be understood that when anyone has been convicted and sentenced for a crime, that person cannot normally be held beyond the longest range of that sentence. For example, if the sentence is for 8 to 10 years in state prison, that convict cannot, under typical circumstances, be held for longer than ten years. Such prisoners cannot usually be held indefinitely. Secondly, predicting the behavior of any one individual, is often a complex process, taking into consideration a number of different factors, psychological assessments and behavioral history. Using all those tools, parole officials make the best decision they can, as human beings, to assess the likelihood of recidivism or future criminal behavior of the applicant. That is all anyone can do.
In this case, Flowers had served 12 of 12 to 15 years for his robbery conviction in 1995. In those 12 years, he received only a few minor disciplinary infractions. He had no history of violent behavior in prison. He had no history of sexual violence either in prison, or outside of prison. The Parole Board appeared to expended a considerable amount of time and reflection, between the time it first began reviewing Flowers' application for parole in August 2007, and when the Board finally granted his release with the conditions that he wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, stay indoors from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM, and report for mandatory alcohol and drug testing, in May 2008. Those conditions, in my opinion, were prudent and reasonable, given Flowers' non-violent history for the previous 13 years in prison, as well as his criminal history preceding that prison sentence.
Doubtless the victim in this case, and many people, are enraged by this incident – and they want "something done". But what? Refuse to ever release all prisoners on parole? Our criminal justice system is designed to offer prisoners the opportunity to rehabilitate themselves in prison, and show that they can change for the better. If you or someone you cared about were convicted of a crime, would you insist that no opportunity for parole ever be allowed? Most people don't understand the various realities that guide and govern these situations. One of these realities – though it should not be the controlling one – is the reality of prison overpopulation in Massachusetts. The simple fact is, more people are convicted of crimes carrying prison sentences each year, than there is space to house those prisoners. A great deal of this problem has stemmed from mandatory minimum sentencing (mostly involving non-violent and relatively minor drug offenses,) which I've blogged about before and which has resulted in thousands of persons going to prison every year in this state, who should not be taking up space needed for violent offenders. While some might argue "that's another debate", the fact is, prison overcrowding is central to why parole officials are under such presuure to create more space for violent offenders..
Convicts cannot normally be held forever after they have served their sentences – absent clear and compelling evidence that they pose a threat to a particular person or the public in general. Yes, we could insist that convicts serve the maximum of their terms, not less, and in some cases, they do. But the vast majority of criminal prison sentences provide a range of terms, minimum to maximum. Once the minimum is served, it is up to corrections officials and the state Parole Board to determine if the applicant is fit for release – and that is an imperfect science, at best. When an applicant who has been a problem prisoner, exhibited violence and shown little concern for his or her rehabilitation applies for parole, it is relatively easy matter to deny the application. But when, as here, the applicant was essentially a model prisoner, incurring only a few slight administrative violations, and had exhibited efforts to rehabilitate himself while in prison, is it unreasonable to grant him early release with the conditions that he wear an electronic monitoring device and be tested regularly for alcohol and drug use? I don't think so.
This was a terrible, but I believe unpredictable, result here. To quote a spokesman for Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley who was quoted in a Boston Globe story on this arrest: "It is appalling when (a crime like this) is committed. But there is nothing to suggest that it could have been avoided by any means other than the defendant's own restraint." There appears to be no indication that either Massachusetts state prison or Parole Board officials overlooked any signs that Flowers continued to pose a threat to the public. This incident should serve to do two things: 1) Remind advocates of mandatory minimum sentencing for non-violent offenses, that every time a non-violent offender is sentenced to prison, that person takes up the space needed to house truly violent offenders, and resultantly increases the pressure on Parole Board officials to release applicants to create more prison space. 2) Remind state Parole Board officials to ever more carefully probe the psychological makeup and present condition of parole applicants, but seeing into someone's mind is a complex, and often impossible, task. Prison and parole officials are only human. They cannot see into the future, much less a person's deepest, darkest thoughts. We are all only human.

BkiUdyg25V5hcJY588Pz | We've gleaned the following best-practices for efficiency and reproducibility from our customers over the years. If what you are currently doing works well for you, don't feel obligated to change your process to match our suggestions.
Step 1. Form Zendura sheet over dental model.
Step 2: Using small, curved scissors, remove excess material surrounding dental model.
Step 3. Turn formed sheet and dental upside down and insert small straight screwdriver where shown (on lingual side).
Step 4. Slightly twist the screwdriver to break the aligner loose from the model, as shown below.
Step 5: Push screwdriver tip further into opening between formed sheet and model.
Step 6. Remove aligner from model.
Step 7. Using small, curved scissors, cut away excess material from aligner, cutting about 1cm to 1.2cm below the gingiva line.
Step 9. Using rotary tool with a polishing wheel, smooth cut edges of aligner to a smooth surface using first a coarse grit and then a medium grit polishing wheel.
Step 10. Rinse Zendura appliance with cool water and mild soap before delivering.
Some of our customers prefer using a rotary tool for cutting, trimming and polishing their Zendura appliances. The following illustrates the basic procedure and tools they use.
Step 1. Use a rotary trimming wheel or a twist drill (1mm diameter for Zendura material) at about 35,000 rpm to make a cut line about 15mm - 10mm below the gingiva. Then remove the excess material.
Step 2. Remove dental model from the appliance.
Step 3. Trim off extra parts with crown & bridge scissors or trimming burs.
Step 4. Use rotary tool with a polishing wheel at about 10,000 rpm to smooth the rough edges of the Zendura appliance.
Step 5. Rinse Zendura appliance with cool water and mild soap before delivering. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUbXDxK5YsWOzBBA35 | Q: Problems with Dirac's Principles of Quantum Mechenics I have been having some trouble reading Principles of Quantum Mechanics by P.A.M.D. I think it all burns down into two aspects.
1) In the theory of representations, the notation is awfull when we have a complete commuting set of observable and each could have a discrete and continuous sets of eigenvalues. The use of integrals (I'm not even sure how to rigorously define mathematically the integral of a ket) and summatories to account for all the possible cases makes for very cumbersome formulae. I love generalization but I also like beautiful formulas, something I thought Paul shared.
2) When going over to the actual content of quantum mechanics, Dirac solves a lot of differential equations on operators and wave functions, as if they were normal functions. Something that bothers me and should be checked more carefully.
Is there any way around both of this problems?

BkiUeMHxK1ThhAqzXkTU | Boston Red Sox Submit Formal Petition To City To Make Tom Yawkey Disappear
By Evan Lips | March 1, 2018, 13:17 EST
Printed from: https://newbostonpost.com/2018/03/01/boston-red-sox-submit-formal-petition-to-city-to-make-tom-yawkey-disappear/

The Boston Red Sox are looking to turn back the clock to 1977, the year the city honored then-recently-deceased longtime team owner Tom Yawkey by renaming the section of Jersey Street bordering Fenway Park's third base line in his name.
Current owner John Henry is now spearheading a petition to convince the city that the only way to move beyond Yawkey's complicated legacy is to strip his namesake from all road signs and markers and return the name of that portion of road to what it once was — Jersey Street.
The Red Sox filed their petition with the Boston Public Improvement Commission on Wednesday.
The Yawkey Foundation — the philanthropic outfit launched shortly after Yawkey's death, which has donated more than $450 million to various nonprofits since its inception — responded by issuing a blistering statement slamming the petition as being driven "by a false narrative about Tom Yawkey and his record as the team's owner."
The Red Sox statement announcing the petition to revive the Jersey Street name indicates that the decision is fueled by a desire to "reinforce that Fenway Park is inclusive and welcoming to all."
The growing rancor between Henry and the Yawkey Foundation is showing no sign of letting up.
"Henry is seeking to take the drastic action of renaming the street that has borne Yawkey's name for more than 40 years without any apparent consideration of these facts," the foundation points out in its statement, mentioning instances of Yawkey's benevolence and various details designed to puncture the narrative of Yawkey being a racist. "Former Red Sox ballplayers and club officials who knew Tom Yawkey have stated many times that he treated every player the same, regardless of their race.
"The full picture of Tom Yawkey's life is exactly the opposite of the one that Henry has tried to paint."
The foundation has also subtly claimed that Henry's other significant role in Boston — as owner of the Boston Globe — has helped him amplify his anti-Yawkey narrative. In response to a Globe Spotlight series exploring issues of race, with a focus on African-Americans in the city, the foundation launched a new page on its site titled "Setting the Record Straight," reasoning that "because Tom Yawkey cannot speak for himself we feel compelled to speak for him."
"The story described calls by team (and Globe) owner John Henry to change the name of Yawkey Way outside of Fenway Park as a sign of 'hope' for improving the city's image, since 'no other professional sports franchise plays near a street named for such a racially divisive figure'," the page explains.
Bill Nowlin, whose lengthy biographical work Tom Yawkey: Patriarch of the Boston Red Sox hit bookstores earlier this month, has said he "never once found any evidence that Yawkey was personally racist."
"Nor did interviews with several dozen Sox players, including Pumpsie Green and Reggie Smith, turn up any such a suggestion," Nowlin told the Globe's Nick Cafardo last August. "I looked for a smoking gun, and I couldn't find one."
Mayor Marty Walsh has said he supports scrubbing Yawkey's name from street signs.
Henry has said he feels "haunted by what went on here a long time before we arrived," referring to the Red Sox under Yawkey.
According to the Boston Herald, the Boston Public Improvement Commission is slated to discuss the petition when the board meets on Thursday, March 15.

I haven't been checking in at ChefTalk as much these last few days. The kids are off from school, it's the holiday season and there is plenty to do. We've had a little snow in the Chicago area and have to take advantage of it when we can.
From my family to yours...Happy Holidays to all!
Hi Dan, very impressive Snowman! I took my little one to the snow last week and he made his first one - well, I made it while he was watching, and then he put in the eyes, nose and arms.... /img/vbsmilies/smilies/smile.gif but it was nowhere as big as this!!! Nice.
Merry Xmas to you and your family, and to everyone on this forum!
Now that's an original snowman, Joey. Thanks for sharing!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Good New Year!
Hiya Petals...hope all is well.
Have you seen that Lindt (unfortunately) reformulated their 70% Excellence bar?
Why is there a new recipe for the Excellence 70% Cocoa bar?
We revised the Excellence 70% Cocoa recipe based on consumer research results that show the new recipe is preferred due to the smoother, less bitter taste. We received overwhelmingly positive consumer feedback about this new recipe and taste. The new recipe is intended to balance a smooth dark chocolate flavor with a rich and creamy texture. The new Excellence 70% Cocoa bar is available at Lindt Chocolate Shops, LindtUSA.com, and retailers nationwide.
We've stopped producing bars with the previous 70% Cocoa recipe. However, if you liked the intense cocoa flavor found in the previous recipe, we recommend you try the Excellence 85% Cocoa or Excellence 90% Cocoa. If you have any further questions, please contact our Customer Care department.
I haven't tried the new bar yet, I've been on a Sharffen Berger kick, but I've heard a number of people are disappointed in it...Lindt even added soya lecithin to a couple of their other bars featuring the "new recipe" label. Some of their bars are still unchanged though, so it's not all bad news!

Judi Krew shared this photo, which she had taken with Joseph Csatari. "He may not be famous to most people, but to Boy Scouts and artists, he is a legend," Krew wrote. "I was the coordinator for the art merit badge booth at the 2010 National Boy Scout Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill, Va. Toward the very end of the event, one of the last days, this man is being driven around in a golf cart by Gold Bars (our version of top brass and VIPs), and he wanted to see the art booth. I knew instantly who it was and came running out of my booth to give this old man the biggest hug, yelling his name to a bunch of startled kids and adults. He got the biggest kick that I knew who he was and didn't want to leave (or let me go) until his handler physically pulled him away. We exchanged patches (a Boy Scouts of America tradition) and autographs. He was very sweet." For many years, Csatari, an artist who worked with Norman Rockwell, was the Boy Scouts official artist.

BkiUdwI5qdmDNJbAMWuX | Is Wearing Google Glass in a Movie Theater a Bad Idea?
Well, as with all things Google Glass related, this is new. According to a movie patron in Columbus, wearing Google Glass while enjoying a film can lead to a not so pleasant time talking to the authorities. The patron claimed he was watching a movie with his wife, when about an hour into the movie he was approached by a man wielding a badge who grabbed his Google Glasses and demanded he come outside. This led to over three hours of interrogation and allegations that he was recording the movie. After proving that he did not record anything and that the glasses were also his prescription glasses, he was released.
Before anyone gets into an uproar, he did wear a known recording device into a movie theater. And each movie is preceded with warnings of how illegally recording a movie can lead to horrible things. Horrible things like Tom Cruise not being able to buy another mansion. I mean, if you worked for a few months each year while being pampered and flown first class to exotic locations, the least you deserve is being able to buy another home after your grueling three month filming schedule. What are we, animals?
Head to the link below to read the full account of what happened from the individual himself, and pray that Tom Cruise gets another mansion.
Disclaimer: Truth be told, I have no issues with Tom Cruise. Other than the fact he married Katie Holmes. I was saving myself for her.
Disclaimer #2: To my wife, I was kidding about Katie Holmes, I love only you.
Disclaimer #3: Katie, if you are reading this, call me.

BkiUa2k25V5hdn6rPfUn | Home Edu News Chile proposes the world's first quality of employment index
March 10, 2020 Tuesday 04:07:46 PM IST
Chile proposes the world's first quality of employment index
The government of Chile has presented the world's first quality of employment index in conjunction with British Academy Global Professor and LSE Distinguished Policy Fellow Kirsten Sehnbruch on 09 March 2020. This is the first time a government is proposing to use a synthetic measure of employment quality in a way that will inform policy makers.
The index was developed by Professor Sehnbruch and her academic team for use in Latin America. It uses the dimensions income, employment stability and working conditions to inform policy makers about the state of their country's labour market. This data will complement traditional variables used by governments to monitor labour markets, such as wages, participation and unemployment rates. These variables alone are not always good indicators of labour market performance, especially in developing countries with large informal sectors.
This ground-breaking tool will use detailed data available from household and labour force surveys in Chile to identify clearly the most vulnerable workers and other groups of workers in the labour force.
This data will also allow for the analysis of inequalities between groups of workers such as men and women, age groups, regions, migrants or ethnic minorities. Such distributional differences are an important consideration in developing countries where the composition of labour markets is much more diverse and where the differences between groups can be considerable.

BkiUcdjxK6-gD0Srcmhk | Tonight chai warms my heart and soul. As I press the warm mug to my chest, I inhale the spices that seem to dance in perfect harmony with each other. Just like a stone laying in the sun, I absorb the heat from the cup and instant warmth spreads through my body.
Although I'm surrounded by the Alps, this simple cup of creamy masala chai transports me to my days in India. The tantalizing scent of cinnamon and ginger trigger memories of long journeys through the mountains stretching south of Mumbai to Goa.
One cold morning we stopped for breakfast at a mountainside open-air restaurant. The drop in temperature had made my fingers stiff. With my stomach growling and with the urgent need to warm up, I ordered tea before our breakfast.
Minutes went by and our food arrived first: upma, idly sambar, potato vada and uthapam. Every dish was deliciously spicy and fulfilling. Impatiently, I awaited my chai with the same enthusiasm children reserve for dessert after being forced to eat their vegetables.
Finally, it arrived. Steam rose from the tiny cups it was served in. The masala chai stood before me, I bowed my head and inhaled a swirl of spices that woke up my senses and urged me to drink. Just one sip was enough for me to close my eyes and revere its creaminess.
Rich, creamy, sweet and fragrant. This is what masala chai should be. Why had I had never experienced chai like this in the United States? Was the method of preparation different? What were these Indians doing that the ones in the United States were not?
It all came down to the quality of the milk used in its preparation.
In India, the milk was fresh and did not have a two-month expiration date (unlike a lot of milk varieties sold in the United States). You would be surprised how much extending the shelf life of a product decreases its flavor.
Here in Piemonte the milk is fresh, wholesome and rich. Combined with black tea and spices, it becomes the perfect vehicle for a divine chai experience.
I may be miles away from India but tonight, as I press the hot mug against my chest and close my eyes, I am back driving through the mountains on our long journey to Goa. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUgJDxK02iP4WkCGhi | It is now just over a week since the terrorist attacks occurred in Paris. I live just 50m away from where some of the terrorists chose to strike. It has taken me a week to begin to process what happened. Imagine how difficult it has been for my students, who are just 4 years old?
I teach in Champigny, just outside Paris. The impact of the attacks was enormous. Many of the parents and staff have a friend or an acquaintance who was in the Bataclan concert hall, but we were all affected. We all watched the television throughout the weekend. We all locked our doors and kept loved ones close.
And then on Sunday night, I had to think not for myself but for my students. I had to try to work out what I was going to say to them and what they wanted me to say to them.
The government told us to talk about the men, women and children who died, without distinction of color, religion or political ideas. But as teachers we have to decide what is best for our students and, as my class are so young, I decided to talk about the events only if one of my students mentioned them.
On Monday morning, the children were brought in by their parents to the class. The parents were clearly upset, many on the verge of crying. They were scared.
I started the class as usual. We moved through the usual activities. None of my students spoke about what happened. So I didn't mention it. I chose to preserve the school environment for them. School is the only place where people – children or adults – get to think only about learning. It is a safe space. It's another world where we forget our problems.
But at noon, I took moment to ask my class to be quiet and calm. I asked them to close their eyes. I didn't say why. We stayed quiet for 30 seconds in honour of the victims.
In the end, Monday was a very normal day. The children managed to make me forget the atrocities. But as soon as the school bell rung, the thoughts returned.
A week on, we are trying to live without fear. It's difficult. I must act and smile normally, act like I'm well, even though I'm not. But this is the best thing for the children. Ultimately, it will be the best thing for me, too. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdSg5qYVBXTJ3BaAM | « A modern network of archaeological museums
Stone grave — hi from antiquity »
The Museum of archaeology of Moscow is located in underground pavilion at the depth of 7 meters in the historic center of the city. The Museum was opened in 1997, after large-scale excavations at the Manege square in the construction of the shopping center "Okhotny Ryad". The main exhibit of the Museum is the preserved foundations of the Voskresensky bridge, which once spanned across the river Neglinka. With the resurrection of the bridge began as a way to Tver, and then and in St. Petersburg. Before its construction this place there was a ferry. In the beginning of XVII century was built the bridge was the first stone bridge in Moscow. It can be seen on the plans of Moscow of the XVII century. In 1740 instead of the old bridge by the architect P. Heyden was new erected, the white stone bridge. He was more than 100 meters long and reaches 30 meters in width. Of the five arches of the bridge the flow was only one – right, when viewed in the direction of the bridge with the gallery of the Museum. The design of the bridge is quite well preserved due to the fact that, in 1817-19, during the restoration works after the war of 1812, the river Neglinka enclosed pipe, and the Voskresensky bridge as unnecessary covered.
One of the exhibits of the Museum is devoted to ancient treasures . found during archaeological excavations on the territory of Moscow. Ancient people have buried their treasures in the different articles of ceramic or clay jugs, pots, cups… the First treasure, presented in the Museum was found in 1996, during excavations on the territory of the old Gostiny Dvor. when I cleared the log charred under the basement flooring. Then was found a copper jug, covered with a copper bowl in which were: 3 silver cups, 6 bowls of silver, 331 Western European silver coin 21 823 old Russian silver coins. A half meter from that pitcher showed up the second part of the treasure kept in the jar of white clay, closed with a wooden stopper. The jar also contained a lot of finds: 3 silver Cup, 3 silver bowls, 4 silver European coins and 73 606 silver ancient coins. The archaeologists were able to establish that this treasure was hidden around 40-ies XVII century. And 20 April 1996, in the Northern part of Gostiny Dvor near the Ilyinka street when clearing deep log a basement, under charred logs, in pits, was found the largest Moscow treasure — 2 pitcher, copper and clay, where there were 16 silver vessels, 335 West-European coins — thalers of the second half of XVI-early XVII centuries and 95 429 silver Russian coins. There is no written evidence that would help to know the name of the owner of the treasure, but archaeologists still made some assumptions. Traces of fire indicate that a wooden building, in the basement where treasure was hidden, burned clean, and the owner could not find in the ashes the place where he hid the silver. It also allowed to assume that the found treasure belonged to one person and were not government property. Otherwise, the location of their store would know a few people, and together values could be found after the fire. In confirmation of this let us cite the words of a foreign traveller about the Russian custom to hide money: Russians do not trust even the closest relatives; many of the merchants who amassed money by trade, bury them in places known to them, and die, for the most part, without revealing the fact to anyone . The exposition and the Spanish treasure, so named because it contained Spanish coins. This treasure was found in 1970 in excavations at the Ipatievsky lane. Copper basin was filled with 3 397 silver coins with denominations of 2, 4 and 8 Reales, which were from the period following the reign of the Spanish kings: Philip II, Philip the Third and Philip the Fourth (the beginning of the XVI – 30-ies of the XVII century). The treasure was supposedly in the 30 –ies of the XVII century. The original location of copper basin in the exposition made on a revolving stand, and around the pelvis the scattered coins, creating the impression that coins poured upon rotation of the pelvis around the circle.
And finally, we note that the first Wednesday of each month is a day of free entrance to the Museum of archeology of Moscow for persons under 18 years of age. Good excuse to go there with kids!

BkiUa9g5qsMAIoJiazQL | Proposal revealed for new public park on the Gowanus Canal's Salt Lot (6sqft)
The Salt Lot is a triangular piece of land just south of the point at which all three branches of the Gowanus Canal meet. The city-owned site hosts a NYC Compost Project facility, as well as the Gowanus Canal Conservancy's nursery and educational facilities. However, the EPA has mandated a new four-million-gallon retention tank be placed there to manage combined sewer overflow. Gowanus by Design (GbD) saw this new infrastructure requirement as a catalyst for sparking conversation about much needed public urban space in the area. They've therefore created a conceptual proposal for the Gowanus Salt Lot Public Park, which includes three buildings constructed with materials that reference the Canal's industrial history, along with sloping hills and wetlands.

Two Trees completes Gowanus assemblage with $62M deal (The Real Deal)
The city is likely to rezone Gowanus in the near future, and developer Domain Companies recently bought two sites in the neighborhood — 420 Carroll Street for $47.5 million and 545 Sackett Street for $26.5 million — with an eye on building a larger project.
However, Marks said Two Trees does not seem to be following this strategy and noted that Lowe's has a long-term lease on the Second Avenue site. He described the assemblage as a very long-term investment and said that the company's short-term plans likely just involve leasing to commercial tenants.
Fast Forward: The Plan to Modernize New York City Transit (MTA)
40 Years of Chronicling the Unnoticed (NY Times)
Mostly, I was assigned to the Metro staff, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. The Times explains the world, but I always felt that Metro qualified as its pulse. Covering the billowing activity across the miscellaneity of the five boroughs was never tiresome, never trite. Some reporters relish traveling to Novosibirsk or Malacca. I liked Canarsie. I liked Bayside. They were local. I liked being local.
Prince Street Girls (Magnum)
The Prince Street Girls series ultimately captured the transience of youth. Only two years later the same girls are photographed casually smoking cigarettes at Manhattan Beach, midriffs proudly displayed in their ever-shrinking crop tops. Espadrilles replace trainers, and lipstick, gum. They are now nubile teenagers, as their self conscious posturing in Meiselas's portraits suggests. Reflecting on their budding sexuality, Meiselas writes: "In the early seventies there was little discussion about the dominance of a sexualized culture or the influence of advertising, so who were they imitating?" Maybe they were posing to impress each other. They were still in their awkward little bodies trying to find themselves."
Weegee the Famous, the Voyeur and Exhibitionist (New Yorker)
Bonanos describes the Speed Graphic camera—even now, still part of the Daily News logo—as being "tough as anything, built mostly from machined aluminum and steel." It was the only press credential Fellig needed at murders and fires, where, after leaving Acme, in 1934, he continued to show up with a manic freelancing zeal. A couple of years later, he was living in a room at 5 Centre Market Place, with no hot water but with a handful of books, among them "Live Alone and Like It" and "The Sex Life of the Unmarried Adult." He decorated the place with his own published photographs—"like taxidermied heads on a hunter's wall," as Bonanos puts it.
The Spectacular Personal Mythology of Rammellzee (New Yorker)
His generation grew up after urban flight had devastated New York's finances and infrastructure. Ramm channelled the chaos into a spectacular personal mythology, drawn from philology, astrophysics, and medieval history. He was obsessed with a story of Gothic monks whose lettering grew so ornate that the bishops found it unreadable and banned the technique. The monks' work wasn't so different from the increasingly abstract styles of graffiti writing, which turned a name into something mysterious and unrecognizable. Ramm developed a philosophy, Gothic Futurism, and an artistic approach that he called Ikonoklast Panzerism: "Ikonoklast" because he was a "symbol destroyer," abolishing age-old standards of language and meaning; "Panzer" because this symbolic warfare involved arming all the letters of the alphabet, so that they might liberate themselves.
Derelict London - Toilets (Derelict London)
After 15 years of running this Derelict London website I am still stumbling across lots of closed down toilets. A BBC report in 2016 said at least 1782 facilities have closed across the UK in the last decade (disclosed after a Freedom of Information request).
Gradually a few are being regenerated but not as public toilets.
Dog Days At Club Row (Spitalfields Life)
In Club Row itself are to be found bicycles, tyres, an occasional motor bike or a superannuated taxi. The police are frequently seen about here looking for "unofficial goods". Chance St sells furniture and "junk", Sclater St is a nest of singing birds, rabbits, white mice, guinea pigs and their proper nourishment. In the Street of Wirelesses the air is heavy with crooning, and Cheshire St is clamorous with "Dutch auctions", or demonstrating remarkable inventions like the World's Smallest Darning Loom ("Stop your missus hating you … now you can say 'you might darn this potato, dear, while I have shave' … and she'll do it before you've wiped the soap off!").

BkiUdwbxaKgQL8L9jDsn | Beverage Companies Join To Protect Their 'Beer Girls'
Six beverage companies have joined together to set out rules protecting their promoters, or "beer girls."
Heineken International, Asia Pacific Breweries, Cambodia Breweries Ltd, Guinness, Carlsberg and Cambrew say they are forming an association to protect the safety and improve the image of beer girls.
The women, who often wear provocative dresses with sashes emblazoned with the name of their beers, work bars and beer gardens throughout Cambodia. They continually are exposed to sexual harassment and advances. They earn very little, have little power to refuse and often end up prostituting for cash or gifts. When they complain, they are easily ignored—or dismissed. Yet very few bars in the country operate without them.
The companies want to raise the salaries of the women and help protect them from harassment, they said in a statement. They are offering transportation to and from work and to educate them on HIV, AIDS and contraception. They will also ban them from sitting with clients and will put stronger measures in place to stop sexual harassment at their breweries, the companies said.
The two main goals are to raise the image of the girls—who are often stigmatized in Cambodia culture—and to promote their health and safety, Ty Sophana, head of human resources at Cambodia Breweries, said.
The news was received with skepticism by some women who work each night, exposed to risks of harassment, solicitations and worse.
"It's nice to have the association, because there hasn't been one before, but I'm afraid it might just be words and not action," Sok Srei Leak, a promoter for Tiger Beer, told VOA.
In the past, there has been no organization or authority to help the girls, but the beer companies' move shows they are taking responsibility to help their employees, Chi Socheat, a reproductive health official at the agency CARE, said.
More than 4,000 young women and girls work as beer promoters in Cambodia. A great percentage of them claim they are continually harassed and almost as many say they are victims of at least one assault.
Sy De Fine, undersecretary of state for the Ministry of Women's Affairs, welcomed the measures, adding that her ministry was working to put more protections in place for the women. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdSM4eIZjqV0yNO-2 | There is Nothin' Like a Dame
A. Sebastian Fortino
Wilton Manors' very own Dame Edna recently visited the Great White Way to audition as understudy for Australia's Dame Edna in her new show All About Me. Her manager Michael Walters kindly spoke with SFGN about the experience.
However, after the interview SFGN wonders if Walters is both manager and Dame Edna herself. We are very concerned!
"I've been doing Dame Edna for about ten years now. I don't consider myself a drag queen or a female impersonator. Instead I prefer celebrity impersonator," Walters said.
Dame Edna came about quite by accident. He started out in English-themed murder mystery dinner theater. The Brits have historically loved men in drag and he was eventually offered a role as a sort of "psychotic Julia Child."
"I tried, but I couldn't do it," Walters said. "So, I asked for a purple wig and that's how I began my career as Dame Edna."
In 2001 he had the opportunity to meet Australia's Dame Edna on her Royal Tour. "As I believe it's always better to ask permission than beg forgiveness I approached Barry Humphries about performing as Edna. He agreed. For a long time I was the only authorized Dame Edna in the US," he said proudly.
About 7 people appeared at the Henry Miller Theater on Broadway for a 2-minute audition. "Out of the 7 only 3 or 4 made a real effort," Walters said.
However, despite Walters' commitment to the role and being the originally sanctioned Dame Edna for the US he did not win the prized understudy role.
"It puzzled me, because Michael Feinstein," who appears in the show, "thought I was the 1st choice. Regardless," he added happily, "the only thing I missed out on was the Playbill credit. The whole event was a publicity stunt," Walters admitted. "Dame Edna never uses understudies. I got to have my picture taken with Barry Humphries dressed as Dame Edna and that's worth its weight in gold."
Despite the cost of the trip, and not being named as the "understudy" Walters did make first runner up proving his dedication to the role.
He did allow Dame Edna herself to come to the phone, as we had to know: whatever happened to her sidekick, "Madge."
"It's rather unfortunate, well, she died, and we had her carbon dated at MIT. We learned she was 100 years old. Madge was my bridesmaid and then sidekick for many years. Meaning dear, that when she was by my side, I kicked her!"
For more of our very own Dame Edna you can visit with her at Georgie's Alibi on Monday nights in the Manchester Room. There are 3 shows at 8, 9, and 10pm.

BkiUdVo5qYVBWXyir0wo | Q: Is sharing the same support a necessary condition for exchangeability? I am confused on the meaning of exchangeable random variables. The question is: consider the random variables $X_1,X_2,X_3$ defined one the same probability space $(\omega, \mathcal{F}, P)$; is sharing the same support a necessary condition for exchangeability?
I think the answer is yes, but I would like to receive a more formal confirmation.
In fact, let the support of $X_1$ be $\{1,4,7\}$, the support of $X_2$ be $\{2,5,8\}$ and the support of $X_3$ be $\{3,6,9\}$ and assume that $X_1,X_2,X_3$ are exchangeable. Let $\varphi$ be a permutation over $1,2,3$ such that $\varphi(1)=2$, $\varphi(2)=3$ and $\varphi(3)=1$. Then, one implication of exchangeability is that $$P(X_1=4, X_2=5, X_3=6)=P(X_{\varphi(1)}=4, X_{\varphi(2)}=5, X_{\varphi(3)}=6)= P(X_2=4, X_3=5, X_1=6)$$
but $P(X_2=4, X_3=5, X_1=6)=0$ and $P(X_1=4, X_2=5, X_3=6)>0$.
A: If I am not mistaken, exchangeability means (for two variables) that the law of $(X_1,X_2)$ is the same as the law of $(X_2,X_1)$.
Thus, the space of possible values for the couple $(X_1,X_2)$ must be the same as the space of possible values for the couple $(X_2,X_1)$.
In a nutshell, exchangeability is stronger than sharing the same support which is a necessary but not sufficient condition.

While other kids his age were mastering videogames and hip-hop lyrics, David was preparing to dominate the future, taking a whopping 25 college courses while he was in high school, which he started at the "wise old age" of 10.
Halfway through the sixth grade, the work was just too easy. So, David's mother petitioned to have him sent directly to high school. When the school said no, she simply did what any good parent would do: Worked around the system. She and her husband had David and his brother Joseph homeschooled for two years, giving them a far better education than the one they would have received in any public (or even private) school system.
By the way, Joseph (David's brother) was also admitted to MIT at the age of 15. But that's another story for another day. Let's focus on David's greatness right now, since two versions of this might be too much to digest.
David speaks plainly about the culture of hard work and discipline that his parents created in their home. He says that the training from his parents was "intense" and that he and his brother were always pushed to become the best that they could be.
"We studied math four hours a day and read four hours a day. Mostly we read the classics," David said about his rigorous homeschooling lessons.

BkiUdV85qdmC_F6-O2vo | Lottery games are among the most popular forms of gambling in the United States. This is because there are a variety of lottery games available across the country. Some of the most well known include Powerball, Mega Millions, and Texas Two-Step. In addition to the official lotteries, players can also purchase tickets online.
The first record of a lottery game dates back to ancient China. This was used by the Han Dynasty to finance projects like the Great Wall of China. During the Middle Ages, lotteries were used by governments to help the poor and prepare for wars. Since the advent of the modern age, lotteries have become more widely recognized by governments. Most modern nations have taken steps to ensure that state lotteries remain the primary source of funding for lottery games.
There are several benefits of playing the lottery online. First, there's the convenience of not having to leave home to play. However, there's no guarantee of winning. You may not win the jackpot, and you'll likely have to split it with another lottery player. But if you win, you'll be able to make a positive difference in your life.
For some, a ticket to the state-wide or regional lottery is all that's needed to enjoy the fun of lottery. Some states, such as Arkansas, offer multiple draw games. Others, such as Minnesota, require that players purchase their tickets in person.
In the United States, state-run lotteries are operated by 48 jurisdictions. These are composed of 45 states, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Although many states have their own popular lottery games, the de facto national lottery is the Powerball. As of October 2018, Powerball is offered in nearly all jurisdictions.
While there are a number of different lottery games available across the country, Powerball is considered to be the best of the lot. It has a starting jackpot of $20 million and is available almost everywhere in the U.S. If you win, you'll get to split the money with the person whose number was drawn.
There's also a new platform that's taking the online lottery experience to the next level. Powered by blockchain technology, Lucky Block is a platform that offers users a free lottery ticket every time a drawing occurs. Additionally, Lucky Block rewards token holders with a 10% jackpot reward. Users can also vote for good causes.
Finally, some state lotteries have decided to expand their reach beyond the confines of the physical world. In 2016, Kentucky introduced an app for its lottery. Similarly, Oregon Lottery took the initiative to allow its customers to bet on specific numbers. And in 2018, Mississippi passed a bill allowing its residents to buy lottery tickets online. All of these are examples of how the United States government continues to recognize the importance of lotteries.
Whether you're playing online or at a land-based location, be sure to take the right precautions to ensure your safety and security. Online sites should be licensed and have high-quality security measures in place to keep your personal information safe. Be sure to read the terms and conditions carefully.

No major concerns in first state spring flood outlook
February 19, 2018 By Dar Danielson
Ice breaking up on the Raccoon River in Des Moines.
Spring is still several weeks away, but the National Weather Service has released its first look at potential flooding.
Senior hydrologist Jeff Zogg says there appear to be few worries right now. "Most of the state — including the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers — we're seeing a near-normal risk of flood across Iowa. Nothing really abnormal stands out," Zogg says. There was very little snow on the ground until just recently, and he says that is one of the things they take into account.
"The snowpack is definitely a factor that we consider when we look at the risk of flooding in the spring. And the snowpack that we have, that definitely tended to increase the risk, because across much of the state the snowpack has been above normal," Zogg explains. The flood risk is based on areas the normally might flood and does not include the possibility of flash flooding brought on by heavy rains.
Zogg says water levels in streams and lakes also make a difference in the outlook. "Stream levels going into the winter are definitely one thing that we take into account when we look at the risk of flooding," according to Zogg. "Those were near normal, in some location a little bit below normal, so those tended to have a negligible impact, maybe even decrease the risk a little bit." He says there are several other factors that could impact any flooding between now and spring.
"Future precipitation trends — if we get a lot of snow or a lot of rain for example — that would tend to increase the risk of flooding. So, we'll just have to keep an eye on that," Zogg says. The speed of the warm-up and snowmelt is also a factor, as a gradual melting gives the streams and lakes more time to absorb the runoff from the melting.

How Streaming Video and Audio Work
by Tracy V. Wilson
New hotness: Entire episodes of television shows streamed directly to your computer.
In the early days of streaming media -- the mid-to-late 1990s -- watching videos and listening to music online wasn't always fun. It was a little like driving in stop-and-go traffic during a heavy rain. If you had a slow computer or a dial-up Internet connection, you could spend more time staring at the word "buffering" on a status bar than watching videos or listening to songs. On top of that, everything was choppy, pixilated and hard to see.
Streaming video and audio have come a long way since then. According to Bridge Ratings, 57 million people listen to Internet radio every week. In 2006, people watched more than a million streaming videos a day on YouTube [source: Reuters]. The same year, television network ABC started streaming its most popular TV shows over the Web. People who missed an episode of shows like "Lost" or "Grey's Anatomy" could catch up on the entire thing online -- legally and for free.
The success of streaming media is pretty recent, but the idea behind it has been around as long as people have. When someone talks to you, information travels toward you in the form of a sound wave. Your ears and brain decode this information, allowing you to understand it. This is also what happens when you watch TV or listen to the radio. Information travels to an electronic device in the form of a cable signal, a satellite signal or radio waves. The device decodes and displays the signal.
In streaming video and audio, the traveling information is a stream of data from a server. The decoder is a stand-alone player or a plugin that works as part of a Web browser. The server, information stream and decoder work together to let people watch live or prerecorded broadcasts.
In this article, we'll explore what it takes to create this stream of ones and zeros as well as how it differs from the data in a typical download. We'll also take a look at how to make good streaming media files.

Emily Hayes
Emily is a 2013 Film graduate and she's currently an Assistant Video Editor at Optimus. We asked Emily a few questions and here's what she had to say!
What has been the largest challenge you have encountered while entering your industry and how did you overcome it?
Initially breaking into the industry itself proved to be pretty difficult. I had to dedicate myself to following up on every lead I had, even though many times they lead me to dead ends. I would work my day job and then come home and send emails and make calls for hours just hoping someone would answer and might be in need of an intern! Additionally, I often did a lot of work for free just to get face to face with people in the industry, hoping down the line they would keep me in mind for any open positions.
What would you say is one of the most important assets to have in your line of work?
You have to have a thick skin and not take things personally. Many times, coworkers or clients will come back with comments that can seem very harsh to a piece that you've put so much time and effort into creating. However, you have to understand that their job is to HELP you make great content. Many times these seemingly negative comments end up pushing the piece in a better direction. Instead of feeling criticized I'd take it as being able to see something from a different perspective and opening new possibilities.
What advice do you have for individuals specifically interested in your field of work?
Take every opportunity you have – even if it doesn't seem relevant. The post production industry in Chicago is not that large, and a lot of people run in the same circles. Doing a freebie project for someone now could end up with them remembering you down the road when they have an open position. Or participating in a very small-scale production may not lead to any big-time nominations but it does boost your connections to other people for future projects.
What piece of advice do you have for Flashpoint candidates preparing to enter their respective industry?
Don't stop applying yourself. Keep sending out resumes, making calls, and updating a website or anywhere you have current work. Even when I was employed full time I still spent nights and weekends applying myself, and there were a lot of rejection emails (that is, if they even responded to my email)! I think people get disheartened about being rejected and they give up, settling for a job they don't even like. Persistence pays off, and if you work hard enough to get there you will.
How did your experience at Flashpoint help you join your industry?
It opened my eyes to the amount of post-production houses that I didn't even know about. Career services also aided in building my reel and showing me how to get my website out there.
What would you look for if an opportunity to potentially hire Flashpoint graduates came along?
Students that have a passion for the industry. We often have crazy hours, intense projects, and make lots of sacrifices. But it's all worth it when you're truly dedicated and love your field of work. You can learn technical skills, but you can't learn passion.
What was your favorite thing about Flashpoint?
Peter Hawley and Bill Baykan!!! These two men were huge influences on my direction in film. They helped me grow in my studies while also being sources of encouragement along the way. Both are incredibly smart and driven individuals, but they genuinely cared about each student and nurturing their passion for film.
Name one thing that made you choose Flashpoint over other colleges?
I really liked the hands-on approach they had in getting students to learn. It wasn't just sitting in a classroom all day being lectured. We were physically using cameras, or going over to the CBS studios, or cutting on professional editing software.
If you had to do it all over again, what would you do differently?
I'd start doing your research now on the place you want to end up. Look at who works there, how they got there, and what they did that you can mirror. I did this, but I think it would've been helpful if I had started a little earlier!

CHASING CORAL FILM SCREENING
Please join us for a special screening of Chasing Coral, a beautifully shot film directed by Jeff Orlowski. The documentary investigates the effect of global warming on one of the ocean's most vibrant and diverse habitats. Dinner will be served! Students, faculty, and community members are all welcome.
Film synopsis: Chasing Coral taps into the collective will and wisdom of an ad man, a self-proclaimed coral nerd, top-notch camera designers, and renowned marine biologists as they invent the first time-lapse camera to record bleaching events as they happen. Unfortunately, the effort is anything but simple, and the team doggedly battles technical malfunctions and the force of nature in pursuit of their golden fleece: documenting the indisputable and tragic transformation below the waves. With its breathtaking photography, nail-biting suspense, and startling emotion, Chasing Coral is a dramatic revelation that won't have audiences sitting idle for long.

VR NOW
While it's still early days for mass adoption of Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality (VR+), imagine where business, the arts, and society might be later this century?
Paris-based VR expert and advocate Naomi Roth, in conversation with Robert C. Wolcott, Kellogg School of Management professor and Co-Founder of Kellogg Innovation Network, will explore how VR+ might change the game for arts, media, society— even the experience of being human.
What opportunities and threats might we face as we transition to a coming post-virtual world?
Naomi Roth launched Virtuality for Reality in 2016, an international online open-door community bringing together professionals, researchers and VR directors inspired by VR for good. She was invited the same year to co-create an innovation lab (on VR/AR/AI technologies) for a multinational startup, XXII GROUP then worked inside the laboratory on the elaboration of new lines of research.
As of today she gives lectures at French Universities and collaborates with action research projects destined to understand how environmental influences affect our choices and behavior.
This event is part of the French Innovation week organized by the French Consulate and supported by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy.

BkiUbqTxK02iP1lCXDHd | In a recent court case from Ontario, Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 113 v Toronto Transit Commission, 2017 ONSC 2078, the Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 113 (the "Union") applied for an injunction to prevent the Toronto Transit Commission (the "TTC") from implementing random drug and alcohol testing for its employees.
The TTC implemented a "Fitness for Duty Policy" back in 2010 (the "Policy"). The Policy permitted drug and alcohol testing in several situations, including where there was reasonable cause to believe alcohol or drug use resulted in an employee being unfit for duty and as a final condition of the appointment to a safety sensitive position. The Policy did not initially provide for random testing, but the TTC advised the Union that it reserved its right to implement same. The Union filed a policy grievance and the arbitration commenced in March 2011. To date, the arbitration is still ongoing with no end date in sight.
In October 2011, the TTC amended the Policy to require random drug and alcohol testing. The implementation of same was not approved until March 2016. In response, the Union applied to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for an injunction to prevent the TTC from implementing the random testing, pending the outcome at arbitration. Of note, although random testing was not added to the Policy until after the Union's grievance was filed, Arbitrator Saltman ruled that she had jurisdiction to determine the appropriateness of same.
In determining whether the injunction would be granted, Mr. Justice Marrocco applied the three-part test for an injunction set out by the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) in RJR-MacDonald Inc. v Canada (Attorney General), 1 SCR 311. In order to meet the test, the Union was required to demonstrate: 1) that there was a serious issue to be tried; 2) that it would incur irreparable harm if the injunction was not granted; and 3) that the balance of convenience, taking into account the public interest, favoured granting injunctive relief.
Justice Marrocco very quickly dispensed with the first part of the test for an injunction, finding that there was a serious issue to be tried at arbitration, holding that the arbitrator is tasked with applying the principles set out in the 2013 SCC decision regarding random alcohol and drug testing. In Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada, Local 30 v Irving Pulp & Paper, Ltd., 2013 SCC 34 (Irving Pulp and Paper), the SCC held that employers in a safety sensitive, unionized workplace must demonstrate a general drug or alcohol problem in the workplace to justify random drug and alcohol testing policies.
The evidence does not indicate that instituting random drug and alcohol testing creates a likelihood of psychological harm to TTC employees.
Notwithstanding that Justice Marrocco was willing to dismiss the Union's application on the basis that there was no irreparable harm to the Union by TTC's implementation of random testing, he continued to consider the third part of the test, addressing whether the balance of convenience favoured granting the injunction.
In considering which of the two parties would suffer greater harm from the granting or refusal of the injunction, Justice Marrocco found that the balance of convenience favoured random testing. He held that the TTC was not a typical workplace; it had 11,000 employees and drug or alcohol misuse could have tragic consequences for many people, not all of whom were TTC employees. There were 116 instances where employees either tested positive or refused to be tested pursuant to the Policy between October 2010 and December 2016, with 27 incidents occurring in 2015. Accordingly, Justice Marroco found, that based on the evidence, there is a "demonstrated workplace drug and alcohol problem at the TTC which is currently hard to detect and verify". He again added that if the Union was ultimately successful at arbitration, an invasion of an employee's reasonable expectation of privacy could be compensated with damages.
The Union's application for an injunction was therefore dismissed.
The outcome in this decision means that the TTC can proceed to perform random alcohol and drug testing at its workplace, in accordance with the Policy at least until the matter concludes at arbitration. While this case presents a win for the TTC, it will be interesting to see how it is applied to other employers given the uniqueness of the workplace at issue in this case (namely, the entire City of Toronto). Employers in safety-sensitive workplaces would be wise to remain wary of implementing random drug or alcohol policies unless there is demonstrable evidence of a general problem with substance abuse in the workplace, as confirmed by the SCC in the 2013 decision of Irving Pulp and Paper. Guidance on what constitutes a general problem with substance abuse in the workplace is currently working its way through the courts in Alberta (see Suncor Energy Inc. and Unifor, Local 707A, 2016 ABQB 269), and will, without a doubt, be addressed by the Supreme Court of Canada in due course. What remains clear, is that the law of drug and alcohol testing in Canada continues to be in a state of evolution. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |

Westley Schlundt
Westley Schlundt has been a musician ever since he learned to play the violin at the age of four and he's been growing his love for music ever since.
A 2018 graduate of Faulkner, Schlundt was still in his teens when the Montgomery Symphony Orchestra recognized his talent and invited him to join. He has been a member ever since. However, it was while Schlundt was at Faulkner that he truly grew his knowledge and skill as a musician.
"Faulkner's music department is where I 'grew up' as a musician," Schlundt said. "I had performed in many places professionally even before attending college, but it was at Faulkner that I honed all of the skills I had been practicing since being a toddler. Those on faculty are knowledgeable, accessible, and extremely helpful. It's fair to say that, through the instruction I received through Faulkner, I went from simply performing music well, to gaining a wealth of understanding music."
"The school provided an environment where students and professors were able to communicate one on one without exception!"
Born in Orlando, Florida, Schlundt grew up in the River Region with his two older brothers who also attended Faulkner. His father, Al Schlundt has taught at Faulkner for many years and is currently the Interim Chair of the Science Department.
Schlundt graduated from Faulkner with a Bachelor of Arts in Music while studying a variety of instruments including piano, guitar and strings and performing professionally. He also studied voice and performed several years with the university's chorus. He is now the proud founder and owner of Central Alabama Suzuki Violin Association where he continues to share his passion for music with the next generation.
This year, Schlundt was invited back to campus to speak to students as a part of the annual Marketplace Faith Friday Forums.
"With my students, I am able to share my faith through the music I teach," Schlundt said. "I oftentimes use hymn melodies in my lessons, many of which were written by the great composers throughout music history. Though many students are believers, there have been quite a few who have no idea the history behind the music they are learning to play!"
Now married to Rachel (Runge) Schlundt, he enjoys performing both country and classical music in a variety of venues. He has performed with country bands all over the southeast and played classical music with string quartets for local and national politicians and businessmen. He has also performed at weddings, dinners and special events.

Beginning at Arcs, Centered by Lines
[Image: From United States of America, Plaintiff v. State of California," December 15, 2014].
This is old, old, old news, widely covered elsewhere at the time, but I rediscovered this link saved in my bookmarks and wanted to post it: back in December 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court redefined the maritime border of California with an amazing, 108+ page sequence of numerical locations in space.
It is geodetic code for marking the western edge of state power—or Sol Lewitt's instructional drawings given the power of sovereign enforceability.
Rather than "The Location of a Trapezoid," in other words, as Lewitt's work once explored, this is the location of California.
Beyond these mathematically exact limits is not the open ocean, however, but sea controlled by the United States federal government. The coordinates laboriously, hilariously reproduced over dozens and dozens of pages simply define where California's "Submerged Lands" end, or expanses of seafloor where California has the right to explore for economic resources. Outside those submerged lands, the feds rule.
In a sense, then, this is the Supreme Court seemingly trolling California, tying up the Golden State's perceived western destiny within a labyrinth of constricting arcs and lines, then claiming everything that lies beyond them.

Art Arm
[Image: "Untitled #13," from "Scripted Movement Drawing Series 1" (2014) by Andrew Kudless].
San Francisco-based designer and architect Andrew Kudless is always up to something interesting, and one of his most recent projects is no exception.
For a new group of small works called "Scripted Movement Drawing Series 1" (2014), Kudless is exploring how robots might make visual art—in this specific case, by combining the instructional art processes of someone like Sol Lewitt with the carefully programmed movements of industrial machinery.
[Image: The robot at work, from "Scripted Movement Drawing Series 1" (2014) by Andrew Kudless].
In Kudless's own words, "The work is inspired by the techniques of artists such as Sol Lewitt and others who explored procedural processes in the production of their work. The script, or set of rules, as well as the ability or inability of the robot to follow these instructions is the focus of the work. There is almost a primitive and gestural quality to the drawings created through the tension between the rules and the robot's physical movement. Precisely imprecise."
These giant robot arms, he continues, "are essentially larger, stronger, and more precise version of the human arm. Made up of a series of joints that mimic yet extend the movements of shoulder, elbow, and wrist, the robot has a wide range of highly control[led] motion. The real value of these robots is that, like the human arm, their usefulness is completely determined by the tool that is placed in its hand."
So why only give robots tools like "welding torches, vacuum grippers, and saws," he asks—why not give them pencils or brushes?

The results are remarkable, but it's specifically the unexpected combination of Lewittian instructional art with industrial robotics that I find so incredibly interesting. After all, Kudless ingeniously implies, it has always been the case that literally all acts of industrial assembly and production are, in a sense, Sol Lewitt-like activities—that conceptual art processes are hiding in plain sight all around us, overlooked for their apparent mundanity.
It's as if, he suggests, every object fabricated—every car body assembled—has always and already been a kind of instructional readymade, or Sol Lewitt meets Marcel Duchamp on the factory floor.
With these, though, Kudless throws in some Agnes Martin for good measure, revealing the robot arms' facility for minimalist lines and grids in a graceful set of two-dimensional drawings.
[Image: "Untitled #7 (1066 Lines Drawn between Random Points in a Grid)," from "Scripted Movement Drawing Series 1" (2014) by Andrew Kudless].
Kudless explains that "each of the works produced in this series was entirely programmed and drawn through software and hardware":
None of the lines or curves was manually drawn either within the computer or in physical reality. Rather, I created a series of different scripts or programs in the computer that would generate not only the work shown here, but an infinite number of variations on a theme. Essential to the programming was understanding the relationships between the robot and human movement and control. Unlike a printer or plotter which draws from one side of the paper to the other, the robot produces the drawings similarly to how a human might: one line at a time. The speed, acceleration, brush type, ink viscosity, and many other variables needed to be considered in the writing of the code.
Various drawing styles were chosen to showcase this.

There are many more drawings visible on Kudless's website, and I am already looking forward to "Scripted Movement Drawing Series 2."
You can also purchase one of the prints, if you are so inclined; contact the Salamatina Gallery for more information.

BkiUdlE5qdmDNqo3k5BW | Hon. Timothy K. Lewis Delivers Powerful Lecture on Race and Justice in the Legal Industry
On June 9, 2015 by Schnader in Litigation
On June 9, Schnader Harrison Segal and Lewis LLP's Hon. Timothy K. Lewis presented the Judge A. Leon Higginbotham Jr. Memorial Public Interest Lecture at the Philadelphia Bar Association's Quarterly Meeting. Judge Lewis' provocative and emotional keynote expounded on the struggles related to racism and diversity and justice and inclusion. The speech can be viewed here.
In addressing the convergence of police misconduct, race and poverty in cities across the United States, from Ferguson to Baltimore, Judge Lewis called upon the legal profession to take the lead in a national effort to rediscover the fundamental values of equality and social justice.
"Early death, crime, unemployment, drop-out and incarceration rates in black communities throughout the country have skyrocketed. Racial profiling and other more extreme police abuses are documented again and again each week. The common factors are undeniable: these people are poor, and they are black," said Judge Lewis.
He continued, "We can advocate for much needed, meaningful criminal justice reform, beginning with sentencing reform but including the right to counsel, prosecutorial overreach, prison reform, and a horrendously failed war on drugs… And while you're at it, write about the Paycheck Fairness Act, which has been reintroduced and is now pending, to ensure that women workers are not shortchanged, and to promote fair and stable family incomes… Support the End Racial Profiling Act, which has been re-introduced… Pressure our Senators to enact asset forfeiture reform… Tell civic and political leaders that if they want your firm's money and support, or your vote, they need to join a national call to action for a summer youth employment program, if not this year then next."
In his memorable speech, which addressed the continuing challenges of racism as well as the legal profession's struggles to achieve diversity within its ranks, Judge Lewis left the audience with an urgent call to action. "We must address our own massive failure at achieving pluralism and diversity within our own ranks and at our own firms. We are the least diverse profession in America," he said. "We deprive ourselves, our values, our economic growth and our clients by failing to recognize that 'multiculturalism, or pluralism without walls, is the present and the future.'"
The full text of his speech can be found here.
Later in his speech, Judge Lewis took to task United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts who, 8 years ago, "in reference to programs designed to redress some of this, told us that 'the way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.' This was a profound distortion and a determined misuse of American history and present-day reality. Courts should not resort to blind formalisms that convert the wise, flexible, thoughtful application of the law to some perverse algebra that takes place outside the realm of reality. I would like to believe we are better than that. Perhaps the Chief might wish to spend a little more time in the 'hood before offering his pronouncements on how to end discrimination."
Judge Lewis implored attorneys to contribute to this urgent moment and will themselves and their industry as a whole to act now to close the racial and social divide. Just recently, Judge Lewis played his part in social justice reform by helping to develop the legal position adopted by Governor Wolf in imposing a moratorium on the death penalty in Pennsylvania. After the moratorium was enacted, Judge Lewis also offered this statement of support.
Judge Lewis' legal practice focuses on alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration, mediation, and other forms of settlement. He is co-chair of the firm's Alternative Dispute Resolution Practice Group; a Fellow of the College of Commercial Arbitrators; a board and executive committee member of the American Arbitration Association; a former board member of the CPR-International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution; a member of the CPR Panel of Distinguished Neutrals; and a member of the CPR Diversity Task Force. Judge Lewis was recognized as the Best Lawyers' 2015 "Lawyer of the Year" in arbitration for Washington, D.C. and recently was named one of The Legal Intelligencer's 2015 Diverse Attorneys of the Year.
The Philadelphia Bar Association Judge A. Leon Higginbotham Jr. Memorial Public Interest Lecture was created to honor noted jurist, civil rights advocate, and author A. Leon Higginbotham.

BkiUfM3xK7IAHUGvoxS2 | La Bundesstraße 281 est une Bundesstraße du Land de Thuringe.
Trafic
La Bundesstrasse 281 relie l'A 73 à Eisfeld en passant par les monts de Thuringe, Saalfeld et la dépression de l'Orla à l'A 9 à Triptis. Outre le trafic local, le B 281 est également utilisé pour le trafic longue distance à destination et en provenance de Saalfeld et étendu depuis la réunification, en particulier dans la partie est de l'itinéraire, utilisé quotidiennement par environ véhicules entre Saalfeld et l'A 9. La densité de trafic de la section ouest à travers les montagnes est de près de véhicules par jour en 2015.
Géographie
La B 281 commence au sud-ouest d'Eisfeld à un rond-point avec la B 89. Ensuite, il mène comme un contournement à l'ouest et au nord autour de la ville avec une connexion à l'A 73. Elle va dans le plateau des monts de Thuringe, traverse la vallée de la Saar jusqu'à Siegmundsburg et atteint environ d'altitude avec quelques lacets. La route est parallèle au Rennsteig et à la ligne de partage des eaux entre le Rhin et l'Elbe sur la crête des montagnes via Limbach et Steinheid jusqu'à Neuhaus am Rennweg, la plus grande ville des monts de Thuringe. Elle descend dans les vallées de la Lichte et de la Piesau.
La moitié est de la Bundesstrasse est principalement dans la vallée de la Saale. Des accidents de camion se produisent régulièrement.
Saalfeld est atteint en passant près de la grottes des Fées de Saalfeld. À l'origine, la B 281 conduisait sur la Sonneberger Strasse dans la vieille ville, plus tard, elle est déplacée à l'ouest vers la Melanchthonstrasse. Ensuite, la B 281 mène au nord de la ville sur la rocade nord nouvellement construite, avec la B 85. Avec environ véhicules par jour, cette section est la plus fréquentée de tout le parcours.
Le Plan fédéral d'infrastructure de transport 2030 prévoit deux mesures d'extension dans cette section. Le besoin urgent comprend le contournement ouest de Saalfeld afin de soulager la partie restante du centre-ville du trafic de transit. En second lieu, un réacheminement complet est prévu pour la section ouest de Neuhaus am Rennweg à l'est de Reichmannsdorf. L'itinéraire consiste à passer au sud de l'ancienne route et à soulager les nombreux passages locaux étroits de ce tronçon et à améliorer les liaisons en direction de Sonneberg (grâce à de nouvelles liaisons vers le sud de Lauscha et dans la région de Hasenthal). La topographie difficile ainsi que les risques écologiques liés à la traversée de forêts auparavant non coupées sont problématiques.
La section est de la B 281 est l'une des liaisons de Bundesstrasse les plus importantes de Thuringe et assure la liaison avec l'A9 pour le trafic longue distance. Avec environ véhicules par jour, la densité du trafic est proportionnellement élevée, de sorte que certaines sections ont été étendues à quatre voies. En outre, des tronçons plus longs (à Unterwellenborn et à nouveau à partir de Neustadt) sont structurés comme des voies rapides et sont redessinés après 1990.
À l'est de Saalfeld, la B 281 mène sur une nouvelle route après le quartier de Gorndorf par l'usine sidérurgique d'Unterwellenborn par le col entre la Saale et l'Orla. À l'est de Pößneck, la B 281 suit la vallée de l'Orla jusqu'à Neustadt an der Orla, où il y a une voie de contournement sud transformée en voie rapide.
La B 281 se termine à Mittelpöllnitz et se joint à la Bundesstraße 2, qui continue en direction de Weida.
Bundesstraße 281a
La Bundesstraße 281a allait de Brno par Crock et Hirschendorf à Sachsenbrunn et faisait environ sept kilomètres de long. Elle est mise en place à l'époque de la RDA pour éloigner le trafic longue distance de la zone réglementée de la frontière interallemande et pour améliorer la connexion entre Suhl et Neuhaus am Rennweg. Avec l'évolution des flux de trafic après la réunification et la construction du contournement d'Eisfeld jusqu'en 2008, la connexion devient superflue et la route est déclassée.

BkiUgAnxK7FjYEB4YKgQ | "Lirica sul Tevere" is an International Opera Competition which aims to give young singers the opportunity to perform in the presence of the greatest exponents of opera and the Artistic Directors of national and international Opera Institutions.
The Third Edition of the Competition, tribute to the great soprano DANIELA DESSÌ, is included in the program of the first edition of the "LIRICA SUL TEVERE" CITTÀ DI ORTE OPERA FESTIVAL, tribute to Maestro LUCIANO PAVAROTTI, and it is confirmed to be an appointment with an international character which will keep repeating every year in July.
The Competition, as in previous editions, has two sections: one for vocal register and one for opera roles. Each year will be represented the Operas performed by the winners of the previous edition's competition; for 2021 are expected: "La Traviata" by Giuseppe Verdi, "The Barber of Seville" by Gioacchino Rossini, " Die Lustigem Witwe " by Franz Lehar.
The Commission of the Third Edition of the Competition is composed of three great names of bel canto: the soprano Renata Scotto (President of the Commission), the tenor Fabio Armiliato, the bass Carlo Colombara; it also includes: the Conductor at Filarmonica Orchestra of Seul Carlo Palleschi, the President of Fondazione Luciano Pavarotti Nicoletta Mantovani Pavarotti, the Conductor and Artistic Director at Macedonian Opera and Ballet Bisera Ĉadlovska, the President of Solopera Company and at Korea Opera Association Lee Soyoung, the Artistic Director at Korea Art Management Sun Kim, the Rhegium at Opera Musica Festival – Teatro Cilea Domenico Gatto, the Director at Fondazione Teatro Coccia Novara Corinne Baroni, the Director – Autor – Conductor at Rai "La Barcaccia" Enrico Stinchelli, the Director at Rai "Prima della Prima" Roberto Giannarelli.
The project was born from the idea of the Artistic Director Sandro Corelli, President of the "Lirica sul Tevere" Cultural Association, and it is possible thanks to his and his staff's dedication, the support of the institutions, and the economic support of all the companies that consider an opportunity for the territory and for their return in terms of image to sponsor this great event that continues to give prestige and visibility to the city, actualize its potential to rise to a new cultural pole and point of reference in central Italy and especially in Tuscia

BkiUfwU5qhLB10-R4k0E | Looking for places to drink in Kyoto should be easy, right? We have our Kyoto Drinking Guide to help find some places for you – except not all of them are open from lunch or early afternoon. I was on a work trip – aka a school trip – for a few days, and I had one day spare to do what I wanted. I was in Kyoto – so what else should I do but find somewhere to drink?
The first stop was off to Yamaoka Saketen to pick up some beers and send them home. Except you can't drink on site there. So after some searching I came across 100K Craft Beer and Pizza, and with it being a lovely autumn day in Kyoto, I decided to walk. And let me tell you, it's one heck of a walk. It's easy enough – walk straight for the most part, with a few turns here and there, but it meant a trip through the Imperial Gardens.
Then 100 Craft Beer and Pizza was closed for a private party until 3pm.
So after some long walking around trying to find something for lunch, Kyoto Tower Sando came up on the search and I found a small dining area in the basement. Nice food but the better thing they had was a small shop called Kyodoai – which is number 5 on the map above. They have a selection of local craft beer from Kyoto that can be bought and drunk on site for no extra cost. There is also a huge selection of local sakes too.
Some of the breweries included Tango Kingdom, Kizakura, and Kyoto Brewery. The selection does vary wildly according to the store owner though they also recommended Isetan Department Store Kyoto for more beers – and it's worth a visit after their huge redevelopment.
The closest station to Kyoto Tower Sando is Kyoto. It's about a five minute walk to Kyodoai. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdNI5qhDACkwuR_FW | Laser hair reduction is done by many patients for aesthetic concerns. Unwanted hair can be of big cosmetic concerns and it can affect emotionally. Excessive hair can make the patients so self conscious that it can affect their dressing. Commonly prevalent methods to get rid of the unwanted hair s are shaving, depilatories, waxing and electrolysis and it does cost huge cumulatively. In addition these methods can cause pigmentation change, repeated skin trauma and ingrown hairs. Laser reduction is the treatment of choice for permanent hair removal and gives a very satisfactory result. Patients seeking best laser hair treatment need to be determined if the excessive hair growth is due to genetics and ethnic background or due to hormonal disorder. Hirsuitism is a clinical condition where excessive hair growth is due increased circulating androgens produced by the ovaries or adrenal glands. The most common cause of hirsuitsm in young females is polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Selecting the type of lasers depend on the skin type. The common type of laser used for hair removal treatment are Diode and Nd:Yag. The most popular laser machines for laser hair reduction are Suprano series (Suprano Pro, Suprano Platinum, Suprano ice), Light sheer duet, Cynosure apogee elite, Candele gentleyag, Gentlemax, etc.
At Orange Tree, we use Suprano series which has inbuilt cooling system. The procedure is a combination of in motion and stamping and the laser hair removal result is excellent.
The basis of laser hair reduction is selective photothermolysis. The melanin pigment in the hair absorbs the laser light and hair bulb is permanently damaged. Laser can damage only those hairs which are in growth phase. The hairs in the body are in different phase of growth cycles and therefore repeated laser sessions are required to target all the hairs in the body parts treated.
Laser hair removal is commonly done in the upper lips, chin, and face. Arms and legs hair removal is a commonly requested by males and females with excessive hair growth. Armpit hair removal and bikini area hair reduction is also very common. Full body hair removal is an extensive laser removal procedure.
After a detailed history and examination, dermatologist or cosmetologist the will explain the procedure. You will be certain instructions before the laser hair removal-no waxing, plucking, depilatories 3-4weeks before the laser session. Avoid other laser facial hair removal treatment 2-3 days before.
Pain with laser treatment depends on the type of laser used. In motion Suprano Diode Laser doesn't cause pain. But some patients may even find this discomforting.
hairs on the body are in different phase of cycle. The lasers can destroy the hair only when the hair is in growth phase. So the laser session need to be repeated in 4-8 weeks gap so that all the hairs are targeted.
it's a very safe procedure. But rarely one can have swelling, erythema, mild crusting, blisters and scabbing. But, they are usually temporary. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

In Singapore, boutique hotel is the best choice for travelers. Small, cozy but comfortable, a boutique hotel is a small hotel which typically has between 10 and 100 rooms in settings with upscale accommodations.
Many Singapore boutique hotels are furnished in a themed, stylish, or aspirational manner. Check this list of 6 boutique hotels in Singapore and have a good trip.
Wanderlust Hotel
The Sultan
Lloyd's Inn
Hotel Vagabond
The Forest by Wangz
Address: 2, Dickson Road, Singapore 209494
It may appear quaint and ordinary on the outside, but once you step through its doors, you're in for a pleasant surprise.
Each floor of the hotel features a different concept: Level 2 has rooms where everything is painted in a single Pantone color; Level 3, Mono, follows a "paper" concept, where rooms are inspired by origami or pop-art; while the top-most floor is an eclectic mix, from a space-themed room complete with a rocket ship to one styled like a treehouse.
The aptly-named Wanderlust Hotel is a four-story whimsical wonderland that attracts similar-minded travelers.
If you can pull yourself away from your quirky room, be sure to explore the streets of Little India, which are full of their own character.
Address: 50, Keong Saik Road, Singapore 089154
See the city's rich history during the Singapore travel through the hotel's extensive collection of historical black-and-white photos, placed throughout the walls of its corridors.
While cozy in terms of space, the design makes the most of it while incorporating a contemporary style complemented with bright pops of color.
Some of the rooms come with their own balconies overlooking the vibrant Keong Saik Road, while the Terrace Suite offers a view of the neighborhood from the private rooftop verandah, where you can indulge in a late breakfast or bubble bath in the outdoor bathtub.
Housed within a listed heritage building in Chinatown, Hotel 1929 works around rather than against the historical structure.
Address: 101, Jalan Sultan, Singapore 199002
The Sultan is comprised of 10 heritage shophouses, you can choose from any of the hotel's eight-room types, each meant to cater to guests' different budgets and needs.
Hide away from the world in the Attic Room, which offers a tranquil escape, or be gently woken up by the sun's rays in the Skylight Room, where your bed is placed right beneath a wide skylight window.
Pop out of the hotel and take a stroll around the neighborhood's trendy cafes and shops. As Kampong Glam is a predominantly Malay area, there's plenty of Halal eateries around, ranging from Middle Eastern to Indonesian cuisine.
So let's experience the old world charm of this island city when you travel to Singapore at The Sultan, where you'll feel like royalty as you're wrapped in the hotel's subtle elegance and understated luxury.
If you're into vintage clothes and jewelry, check out Arab Street and Haji Lane, where tiny shops are treasure troves of unique finds.
Address: 2, Lloyd Road, Singapore 239091
The Inn offers eight types of rooms, each tailored to the needs of different types of travelers. For example, The Garden has a small private garden so you can get lost in a book, while The Skyroom offers an outdoor bathtub with a clear view of the sky.
You can't miss taking a dip in the Inn's dipping pool, which is lined with lush tropical foliage and comfortable sunbed lounges, where you can soak up some sun. The same goes if you prefer moonlight swims, where you can float on your back and watch the stars twinkle above.
For all its quiet and calm, it has a surprisingly central location – Singapore's shopping mecca of Orchard Road is less than 10 minutes away on foot, as is Somerset MRT Station if you're headed elsewhere.
The folks at Lloyd's Inn understand that sometimes, simple is best, which is why the Inn has embraced the minimalist style, with only light touches of greenery here and there. Its airy surroundings and little to no decorations give you space to actually take a breath and relax.
If you're unfamiliar with the area, the Inn has even compiled a useful walking guide for guests to take with them as they explore the streets. Besides local cafes and nightspots, the map includes the locations of nearby ATMs, pharmacy, and money changer.
Seeing as it's one of Singapore's most popular boutique hotels, we'd recommend that you book as early as possible to avoid being disappointed.
Address: 39, Syed Alwi Road, Singapore 207630
It's the first hotel in Asia to be designed by world-renowned French architect and interior designer Jacques Garcia and inspired by the French capital's love of the arts, the tribute portfolio hotel prominently features works of art from all around the world.
Spend an evening at Vagabond Salon, where you can enjoy live performances by local and visiting artistes and share good food, drink, and conversation.
For a taste of Parisian decadence, look no further than Hotel Vagabond. Everything about the hotel invites you to let your hair down.
Back in your room, recline amidst plush luxury with the 400 thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets and goose down pillows and comforters.
The colorful heritage enclaves of Kampong Glam, Little India, and Chinatown are right at the hotel's doorstep, while the Central Business District and key attractions like Marina Bay and the Singapore River are mere minutes away by car.
Address: 145A, Moulmein Road, Singapore 308108
Specially-commissioned artworks are dotted around the hotel, which are a treat to discover as you wander around.
The boutique serviced apartments, fitted with hand-picked designer furnishings, are suited for short-term or long-term stays, be it business travelers or fun-seeking holidayers.
Each stylish apartment comes with a fully-equipped kitchenette, LED TV, and Wi-Fi.
Keeping with the natural theme of its name, The Forest by Wangz is an urban oasis set within the hustle and bustle of Singapore – its design is inspired by lush tropical rainforests.
Located within a residential area, it is nevertheless conveniently near the Novena MRT Station (a 10-minute walk from the hotel) and several locations of interest, such as shopping malls and eateries.
Popular tourist attractions like Orchard Road (10 minutes away by taxi), Marina Bay (15 minutes away by taxi), and Universal Studios Singapore (20 minutes away by taxi) are also easily accessible.

FBI Cranky at Apple for Securing iOS, Only Has Itself (and NSA) to Blame – The Mac Observer
The FBI and other law enforcement folk are tense about Apple's gleeful proclamation that the company can't decrypt our data. FBI Director James Comey told reporters that he is "very concerned" about tech companies like Apple and Google stepping up their privacy game and protecting customer data.
The director was responding to Apple's iOS 8 marketing, which included:
Unlike our competitors, Apple cannot bypass your passcode and therefore cannot access this data. So it's not technically feasible for us to respond to government warrants for the extraction of this data from devices in their possession running iOS 8.
iSpyGoogle answered Apple's claim by announcing that Android "L," the next major release of its mobile operating system, will similarly encrypt customer data by default.
"I am a huge believer in the rule of law," Mr. Comey said, according to The Huffington Post. "But I am also a believer that no one in this country is above the law. What concerns me about this is companies marketing something expressly to allow people to place themselves above the law."
From my perspective, U.S. law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the politicians who rushed to feed our privacy to the security wolves in the wake of 9/11 have only themselves to blame for Silicon Valley taking matters in its own collective hands.
From police searching smartphones without a warrant (which was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court) to the U.S. National Security Agency slurping up everything that it can because it can, people and governments alike are leery of U.S. tech firms. Nobody trusts law enforcement (on this issue), U.S. intelligence (on anything), and it's U.S. tech companies that are and will continue to pay the financial price.

BkiUd184ubnhAvmH7X3G | Reptiles often stop eating in captivity. Although anorexia may be the first sign of a disease, it is not necessarily related to health problems. Some reptiles will go through seasonal changes in appetite related to mating seasons, pregnancy or change in day/night ratio.
Many reptiles are accustomed to infrequent meals and can physiologically sustain long periods without food. Snakes can go a whole year or more without food or water in a protected environment. In non-tropical climates, reptiles hibernate each year. It is a low metabolic rate wintering stage which is common to other species as well. In captive reptiles anorexia sometimes coincides with the hibernation season. It is possible that their biological clock induces such behavior.
Other reptiles, especially herbivores (plant eaters) feed daily and are not well adapted to prolonged starvation. Iguanas usually feed daily and so do many tropical reptile species.
Life in captivity can be very stressful for reptiles. Captive environment should mimic the natural habitat. Differences in humidity, lighting, temperature or pressure may create inadequate conditions for the pet reptile. Space, ventilation and cage set-up also greatly influence how reptiles feel and behave. There are also individual factors - some reptiles adapt better then others to changes.
Stressed reptiles often stop eating and develop a dysadaptation syndrome. They progressively deteriorate, lose weight and die. Stress suppresses the immune system and predispose to infections. Bacteriae, viruses and parasites multiply rapidly and cause diseases. Sick reptiles do not eat; they become energy depleted and succumb to diseases.
When reptiles become anorexic, the cause needs to be determined. Sick reptiles are often treated with antibiotics and parasiticides. Dehydrated patients receive fluid therapy. The veterinarian might also use appetite stimulants and vitamins. A habitat and husbandry correction is integrated into the treatment plan.
It is extremely important to visit a herpeto-veterinarian upon acquisition of a new pet reptile. Keeping reptiles requires expertise which new owners must acquire in order to keep their pet reptiles healthy. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

Export Control Reform Reaches Spacecraft and Satellite Products
By Joan Koenig
On Friday, May 24, the State Department and Commerce Department published proposed rules in the Federal Register addressing articles that no longer warrant control under United States Munitions List (USML) Category XV—spacecraft and related items— and would now be controlled on the Commerce Control List (CCL). (Click here to read the State Proposed Rule in the Federal Register, and click here to read the Commerce Proposed Rule in the Federal Register.) Under the proposed rules, these items would be controlled under new Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) 9A515, 9B515, 9D515, and 9E515 proposed by this rule and existing ECCNs. These proposed rules were made possible by a change in the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which removed a prior requirement that all satellites and related items be subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Comments on these proposed rules are due by July 8, 2013.
The changes in the proposed rules are based on a review of Category XV by the Defense Department. In performing its analysis, Defense reviewed the articles in Category XV to determine which are "either (i) inherently military and otherwise warrant control on the USML or (ii) if, common to non-military space applications, possess parameters or characteristics that provide a critical military or intelligence advantage to the United States, and that are almost exclusively available from the United States." 78 FR 31432. Items that satisfied one or both of these criteria are slated to remain controlled under the ITAR. The proposed rules would transfer jurisdiction for all other satellites and related items to the export control jurisdiction of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
One important aspect of the proposed rules related to controls on radiation hardened microelectronic circuits and the transfer of these items to the EAR. Because these types of items were historically used largely in satellite and space applications, they were considered ITAR items regardless of whether they were specifically designed or developed for such applications. The expanding need for such articles in uses such as medical devices (where the electronics might be exposed to radiation) or downhole drilling (where they would be exposed to extreme conditions, such as extreme heats), as well as commercial communication satellites, combined with a dearth of production facilities in the United States, control under Category XV was becoming increasing difficult for U.S. industry. Under the proposed rules, radiation hardened circuits that are ''specially designed'' for defense articles on the USML, ''600 series'' items, or items controlled by new ECCN 9A515 that meet or exceed five specific radiation hardening characteristics will be controlled under the EAR. An exception to this proposed transfer would be Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) ''specially designed'' for defense articles. These items would remain under the jurisdiction of the ITAR and would be controlled under Category XI(c) of the USML regardless of their performance characteristics.

Accueil Magasin GenreRomans & Thrillers The Call of the wild
The Call of the Wild is a short adventure novel by Jack London published in 1903 and set in Yukon, Canada during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, when strong sled dogs were in high demand. The central character of the novel is a dog named Buck. The story opens at a ranch in Santa Clara Valley, California, when Buck is stolen from his home and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska. He becomes progressively feral in the harsh environment, where he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs. By the end, he sheds the veneer of civilization, and relies on primordial instinct and learned experience to emerge as a leader in the wild.

London spent almost a year in the Yukon collecting material for the book. The story was serialized in the Saturday Evening Post in the summer of 1903 and was published a month later in book form. The book's great popularity and success made a reputation for London; much of its appeal derives from its simplicity as a tale of survival.[citation needed] As early as 1923, the story was adapted to film, and it has since seen several more cinematic adaptations.

BkiUfSs5qhLBvG9b_Ouh | Why You Should Care About Live Streaming
Blog / Why You Should Care About Live Streaming
The world of marketing is always evolving, leaving marketers constantly on their toes when it comes to new ways of reaching customers and spreading brand awareness.
And video content has been gaining traction in content marketing.
But when I talk to other entrepreneurs or marketers about live streaming, they brush it off.
They'll say things like:
"That's only for video games."
"People don't want to see us live stream."
And while it's true that video games make up a huge portion of live streaming, it doesn't mean that it's only for video game players.
Think about Instagram for a second.
Marketing companies find massive success on Instagram despite not being travel photographers with photos like those that appear in National Geographic.
They amass huge followings despite not being hair and makeup channels.
Just because the platform is very popular for one thing doesn't mean it can't work just as well for another.
So pigeonholing methods like live streaming is usually a big mistake.
Especially when the industry is really taking off.
It's the prime time for live streaming, and if you miss the boat, you could be missing out on huge traffic numbers and the ability to create a viral buzz.
It's one of the most genuine ways to connect with an audience and allows for levels of personalization that the marketing industry has never seen.
So don't fall behind the curve. Don't get stuck in the old ways of doing business.
Here's why you should care about live streaming and how to start implementing it in your marketing strategy.
Live streaming is growing fast
One of the main reasons you should care about live stream is simply due to its huge user base and growing popularity.
The potential to reach thousands (or more) of new customers with the click of a button is becoming a reality.
When tactics like search engine optimization and content marketing are taking up too much time and money, you need a new outlet to drive traffic.
Using live-stream platforms is a nearly free way to drive tons of revenue for your business.
And when it comes down to it, the video live-streaming market is growing at an alarming rate.
In 2016, it was already a more than $30 billion industry and it's just getting started.
It's projected to more than double in growth by 2021 to become a more than $70 billion industry.
Live streaming is on the rise, and it continues to grow every single day.
Twitch.tv is one of the biggest live streaming sites in the world right now.
It's bringing in nearly 10 million active users daily. And those active users are watching for an average of 106 minutes every single day.
On top of that, 81% of Internet users viewed more live-streamed content in 2016 than they did in 2015.
Tons of social media platforms are starting to integrate live streaming, making it even easier to reach customers.
Plus, people of all ages are watching and creating live-streaming videos right now:
In fact, 63% of people ages 18-34 are watching live-streaming content regularly.
Even older target markets like people aged 35-54 are using and creating their own live-stream videos!
Some of the most popular platforms include Facebook Live, Twitter, and YouTube, among others:
Let's recap a big number: Live streaming is going to be a $70.5 billion industry by 2021.
It's growing with no signs of slowing down.
If you want to start taking advantage of the incredible, active user groups that are constantly watching live content, you need to get into live streaming.
There are millions of people watching live streaming content daily.
And beyond just the growth of users watching live content, it's a great way to drive revenue for your business.
Live streaming creates active engagement
In the past few years, we've seen a dramatic increase in the use of standard video.
People are watching more video-based content than ever before.
From mobile phones to tablets, video content is taking over:
And on top of that, live video usage is slowly surpassing standard video-watching trends:
So why should you use live streaming?
To understand why live streaming can be huge for your business, you need to know why people are watching it.
You need to understand why people are tuning in at alarming rates to live streaming content.
And the truth is, people are watching live-streamed content for the same reasons they love TV:
It helps them stay informed on the latest news and events, it helps them get actively connected to companies, and it helps them get excited about your fresh content.
With typical TV subscriptions in decline, it only makes sense that live streaming is the new way to consume content.
It's the next logical step beyond the static video that we already consume in mass amounts on a daily basis.
And, it's surpassing TV and static video because of its diverse platforms, the ability to multitask, and the excitement that is generated from live content:
On top of that, live streaming can be great for your business because it allows users to engage with your brand in multiple ways at the same time.
For example, the majority of people who watch live content will use a search engine to search for that content creator:
Even better, viewers will also search for them on social media and engage in email or texting to tell friends about it.
You're getting your brand out there and engaging with your audience. They are actively learning more about you and they are sharing with their friends.
It's win-win-win-win.
Live streaming is the new wave of digital communication, content promotion, and content consumption.
If you want to get ahead of the curve, now is the time.
Live streaming can give your company the boost that it needs to grow and reach an even bigger audience.
What platforms should you use?
So, now that I've got you on board and you're interested in using a live stream for your company, it's time to do a little research.
You know and understand the potential impact that it could have on your growth and brand.
But what platform do you use? There are already dozens of ways to live-stream content.
You can do it through social media or sites like YouTube and Twitch.
So which one do you pick? Which ones will give you the best returns?
Here's a look at the most popular live streaming social media platforms available right now:
Facebook Live reigns supreme as one of the most-watched live streaming platforms on social media today.
It's even starting to surpass YouTube for live-streaming content.
Marketers can also find success on other popular platforms like Twitter and even Instagram.
If you have a great following on your social sites like Facebook and Twitter, you should focus your live-streaming efforts there.
Live streaming is a great way to build an audience. But it definitely helps if you already have an existing audience to gain traction.
While platforms like Twitch are meant mostly for gaming, you can find tons of awesome marketing streams on there, too.
Let's go a little deeper on how you can utilize Facebook Live and Twitter for live streaming.
Use Facebook for live streaming
Facebook Live is one of the best ways to stream live content and generate a strong brand presence.
It's no secret that Facebook has an incredibly large user base, making it one of the best platforms for advertising and content promotion.
In fact, they have billions of monthly active users:
This means that you can reach tons of people on the Facebook platform by using live video content.
And if you want to stay competitive with the top media publishers and competitors, you need to be publishing live videos on Facebook:
Just take a look at the engagement statistics for Facebook Live. They are incredible.
People spend 3x more time watching live-streamed content than they do watching non-live videos:
Live-video content generates more comments, shares, engagements and viewing time than standard video.
And the great news is that any company can take advantage of it.
You can do almost anything with live videos from live webinars, behind-the-scenes videos, and more.
Just look at how HubSpot has taken advantage of Facebook Live streaming in their own marketing strategy:
They first set up notifications and posts that informed people that they would be going live at a specific time.
Next, they started their live stream!
They ended up driving more than 5,000 views on that event alone:
Another amazing example of companies using Facebook Live to build an engaged audience comes from Benefit Cosmetics:
They turned a weekly live show on their Facebook page into an opportunity to pull in a massive audience.
They draw more than 25,000 views on every single show!
It's become a new type of television show for viewers who are now hyper-engaged and excited for updated content.
They get hundreds or even thousands of shares and countless comments, too.
They've successfully been able to grow their brand exponentially with the use of live video.
So, how do you start streaming on Facebook Live today?
There are multiple ways you can go live on Facebook right now. You can do it straight from your phone or even from a computer.
If you want to go live from your brand page, head to the Facebook Live Map.
Here, you can see all of the people going live around the world.
If you want to run live video from your computer, simply click "Go Live" in the right-hand corner:
From here, you can directly connect a computer or external camera:
Then, you can start to configure your settings:
For example, you can share the live broadcast with specific groups of people.
By picking this option, you could create a live webinar group and only show that live video to people in the group.
Or, you could show the live video in a specific event.
You can also connect an external camera and microphone for a show, webinar, or any style of video that you want!
The options are incredibly diverse, and it's also very easy to do on mobile, too.
Load up your mobile application and click "Live" from the options of sharing a post:
Now you can go live directly from your phone and share behind the scenes content of your company:
It is an exceptional way to bring authenticity to your brand.
Showcase events that are happening during the day or any cool clips of your business.
It helps to build trust and transparency and to connect users to your brand.
HubSpot has found great success using it as a way to promote and share live webinars.
They've run dozens of live videos on various hot topics in the digital marketing community.
Use Facebook Live as a tool to bring in more fans and drive more traffic to your page and website.
Use Twitter for live streaming
Live video produced on Twitter's platform in Q4 of 2016 drew 31 million unique viewers.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, Twitter saw some struggles with growth and revenue.
They are getting crushed by platforms like Facebook and Instagram, which now hold the mass majority of the social media market share.
More people are using Instagram and Facebook than ever before. And this means there are fewer and fewer users on Twitter.
But with the integration of live streaming directly into Twitter, the site has seen a resurgence in growth.
Twitter's content creators streamed more than 600 hours of live content in Q4 of 2016.
And some of the best brands are already taking advantage of Twitter's live-stream platform:
Buffer has nearly 60 live broadcast videos on Twitter to date.
They post great videos that are natural and cost almost nothing.
Using just an iPhone, they have been able to drive thousands of visitors to their streams.
Meaning they've spent almost no money on production, lighting, or special camera equipment to draw visitors in.
To find a brand's live broadcasts, simply head to their Twitter profile and click the "Watch LIVE" button:
And Buffer isn't the only marketing brand that is starting to take advantage of live-video views for promotion.
Marketo has done an excellent job of using Twitter's live-streaming service to drive traffic to their social profiles:
Marketo has posted 21 live videos and generated thousands of hits.
They host guests on their live broadcasts and use the platform as a way to provide more transparent information about their business and marketing in general.
And getting started with Twitter broadcasting is easier than ever.
Any company looking to take advantage of this growing medium can get going immediately.
You can create live videos directly from your phone simply using the standard, stock Twitter application.
First, click on the compose button in the top right-hand corner:
From here, you can easily select "Live" as your choice of Tweet instead of the standard text and photo options:
Then, type in what the live stream will focus on and hit "Go LIVE:"
And that's it! You will be up-and-running in just a few seconds.
It's by far one of the easiest and simplest live-streaming platforms available on social media.
I recommend it for sharing behind-the-scenes footage of your office or even doing simple question-and-answer videos.
It is my all-time favorite live streaming tool for personal interaction.
Speak directly to your viewers and allow them to ask questions on topics that concern them.
For example, host a Q&A about your business expertise.
If your agency focuses on search engine optimization, allow users to ask questions about SEO and help them solve these issues.
It's a stellar way to drive brand awareness and build an engaged, loyal following.
Marketing tactics fade over time like everything else.
Consumer behavior changes, new technologies emerge, and old ones die out.
We need to constantly be on the lookout for new forms of reaching customers and building a brand presence.
So it's important to pay attention to live video.
It's not just for video games anymore.
Live streaming is accessible and beneficial to everyone, and it's time you started using it.
Why? For one, the growth of the live-streaming industry is almost unprecedented, and you don't want to be left behind, risking huge potential to grow your business.
And luckily, it's not that hard to implement. Any brand can start live streaming immediately.
So start using platforms like Facebook to grow your audience.
It has more than two billion monthly active users, meaning there is a big potential for growth.
Or consider using Twitter to get more behind-the-scenes live videos that show a natural brand presence.
Find a platform that works for you and then jump on it. Because you don't want to miss the boat on live streaming.
Live streaming is the future of video content, and it's only going to continue to grow.
How have you found success building your brand with live streaming? | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUcunxK3YB9m7_91sH | 11 Top Movies Set in Africa
20th century colonial Kenya, a Danish baroness/plantation owner has a passionate love affair with a free-sprited big-game hunter.
A study of the life of Danish noblewoman and storyteller Karen ('Isak') Dinesen Blixen, from her marriage and departure for Kenya in 1913 until her return to Denmark in 1931. As she struggles to maintain a coffee farm through various struggles and disasters, and strives to improve relations with the local natives, her marriage of convenience to a titled aristocrat gradually gives way to an enduring romance with the noted hunter and adventurer Denys Finch Hatton.
Gorillas in the Mist
The story of Dian Fossey, a scientist who came to Africa to study the vanishing mountain gorillas, and later fought to protect them. Sigourney Weaver stars as Dian Fossey, in this true story about Fossey's study of gorillas, and her efforts to stop the decimation of the endangered apes. You will probably need some tissues when watching this movie. Specially great to see this movie if you are up to gorilla trekking in Rwanda.
The true story of Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel manager who housed over a thousand Tutsi refugees during their struggle against the Hutu militia in Rwanda. Ten years ago some of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind took place in the country of Rwanda--and in an era of high-speed communication and round the clock news, the events went almost unnoticed by the rest of the world. In only three months, one million people were brutally murdered. In the face of these unspeakable actions, inspired by his love for his family, an ordinary man summons extraordinary courage to save the lives of over a thousand helpless refugees, by granting them shelter in the hotel he manages.
The Last King of Scotland
n the early 1970s, Nicholas Garrigan, a young semi-idealistic Scottish doctor, comes to Uganda to assist in a rural hospital. Once there, he soon meets up with the new President, Idi Amin, who promises a golden age for the African nation. Garrigan hits it off immediately with the rabid Scotland fan, who soon offers him a senior position in the national health department and becomes one of Amin's closest advisers. However as the years pass, Garrigan cannot help but notice Amin's increasingly erratic behavior that grows beyond a legitimate fear of assassination into a murderous insanity that is driving Uganda into bloody ruin. Realizing his dire situation with the lunatic leader unwilling to let him go home, Garrigan must make some crucial decisions that could mean his death if the despot finds out.
Set during the Sierra Leone Civil War in 1999, the film shows a country torn apart by the struggle between government soldiers and rebel forces. The film portrays many of the atrocities of that war. Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990's Sierra Leone, Blood Diamond is the story of Danny Archer - an ex mercenary from Zimbabwe - and Solomon Vandy - a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories as different as any can be, until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond that can transform their lives. While in prison for smuggling, Archer learns that Solomon - who was taken from his family and forced to work in the diamond fields - has found and hidden the extraordinary rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen, an American journalist whose idealism is tempered by a deepening connection with Archer, the two men embark on a trek through rebel territory, a journey that could save Solomon's family and give Archer the second chance he thought he would never have.
The White Massai
A girl, Carola, whose vacation in Kenya takes an interesting turn when she becomes infatuated with a Masai. Carola decides to leave her boyfriend to stay with her lover. There, she has to adapt to the Masai's way of life and get used to their food which includes milk mixed with blood. She also has to face her husband's attitude towards women and what he expects from a wife. Nonetheless, Carola is welcomed warmly into the tribe she has chosento join.
Paradise: Love
A part of trilogy, this movie is set On the beaches of Kenya and centers on a 50 year old white women, sister of a missionary and a mother, who gets involved with a Kenyan "beach boy" as the director describes the character on his website, until she realizes that, in short, this relationship of theirs is really just business - aka *sex tourism*.
The Bang Bang Club
A drama based on the true-life experiences of four combat photographers capturing the final days of apartheid in South Africa. A must see for all photojournalism photography lovers!
The Last Lions
Fifty years ago there were close to half-a-million lions in Africa. Today there are around 20,000. To make matters worse, lions, unlike elephants, which are far more numerous, have virtually no protection under government mandate or through international accords. This is the jumping-off point for a disturbing, well-researched and beautifully made cri de coeur from husband and wife team Dereck and Beverly Joubert, award-winning filmmakers from Botswana who have been Explorers-in-Residence at National Geographic for more than four years. Pointing to poaching as a primary threat while noting the lion's pride of place on the list for eco-tourists-an industry that brings in 200 billion dollars per year worldwide-the Jouberts build a solid case for both the moral duty we have to protect lions (as well as other threatened "big cats," tigers among them) and the economic sense such protection would make. And when one takes into account the fact that big cats are at the very top of the food chain-and that their elimination would wreak havoc on all species below them, causing a complete ecosystem collapse-the need takes on a supreme urgency.

The takeover does not bode well for Woodman's Newcastle future by Carson A Merk
Newcastle's Saint-Maximin has all the makings of a Premier League star
by Carson A Merk 9 months ago Follow @CarsonAMerk
As entertaining off the pitch as he is on it for Newcastle United, Allan Saint-Maximin is on his way to becoming a Premier League star.
Due to necessity and stubbornness from Steve Bruce, Newcastle United often played a defense-heavy, counter-attacking style this season. While the club was not always fun to watch, newcomer Allan Saint-Maximin was almost always the opposite. An exciting talent and engaging personality, the 23-year-old winger has everything to become a star in the Premier League.
On the pitch, Saint-Maximin is a high energy, high effort player, flying around the pitch with his Balmain Puma headband. No matter how isolated he might be in the attack, he flies forward, dribbling at defenders, and fearlessly tries to get into the area. Drawing comparisons to his compatriots and former NUFC stars David Ginola and Hatem Ben Arfa, there is just something special about a player that can change the entire match simply by running through the defense with the ball at his feet.
He didn't score or assist as much as he should have in his first EPL season, but he produced some crucial goals and you could never question his motor on the pitch.
When he's not thrilling the Toon Army with his dribbling across the Premier League, he's almost equally entertaining on social media. He's either dancing, goofing around with his children, or interacting virtually with the fans. It's not unlikely for you to catch him in his Newcastle kit during his social media videos.
Early in his tenure with the club, he also worked with the Newcastle Food Bank. With that type of engagement combined with his eye-catching ability on the pitch, he became a fan favorite on Tyneside in a hurry.
Next: The new owners should sell these players this summer
As he continues to get more comfortable in the English top flight, he should increase his production in front of goal and assisting teammates. When/if the takeover goes through, he could also be surrounded by more talented players and in a more attack-based system. That will only help his chances of becoming one of the Premier League's true stars.

A punchy, though puzzling, perspective on parsimony
In the hours after Booker was handed down, I discussed the power of parsimony in highlighting that the very first sentence of 3553(a) instructs that federal judges "shall impose a sentence sufficient, but not greater than necessary, to comply with the purposes [of punishment] set forth in paragraph (2) of this subsection." This statutory mandate is often called the "parsimony provision," and Judge Cassell suggested in his original Wilson opinion (basics here, commentary here and here) that this statutory directive arguably "requires a court to impose a sentence at the low end of any applicable Guidelines range." Wilson Slip op. at p. 23.
Judge Kopf's (entertaining) Tabor opinion yesterday on crack sentencing (discussed here) suggests that the parsimony provision, which was barely ever discussed pre-Booker, is now getting plenty of attention. But, as indicated in footnote 14 in Tabor, Judge Kopf apparently is not too pleased with this development:
If a criminal defense lawyer invokes the "not greater than necessary" chant one more time as the raison d'etre for a sentence below the Guidelines, I am likely to throw up. What the hell does "not greater than necessary" really mean? Please do not refer me to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2) as if it provided a concrete answer for individual cases. Centering a sentence on the words "not greater than necessary" is the judicial equivalent of reading tarot cards — neither the legitimacy of the sentence nor the truth of the reading can be proved or disproved by rational means. More to the point, why should anyone trust one unelected judge like me to provide ad hoc definitions of this virtually meaningless and circular abstraction unencumbered by the lodestar of the Guidelines? Booker tells me to use discretion. It does not tell me to pick sentences out of the air by fixating on the phrase "not greater than necessary" as an excuse to sentence below the Guidelines.
Though this discussion of the parsimony provision is a wonderful rhetorical flash of legal realism, I must note that these comments by Judge Kopf are a bit jarring within an opinion that otherwise heavily stresses the importance of judges following Congress's sentencing instructions. After all, the parsimony provision is a statutory mandate enacted by Congress as part of the Sentencing Reform Act two decades ago, and it has never been altered. (In contrast, neither the crack guidelines nor most other specific provisions of the "lodestar of the Guidelines" have ever been formally enacted by Congress).
Though Judge Kopf may struggle with Congress's statutory instruction in 3553(a) that judges "shall impose a sentence sufficient, but not greater than necessary, to comply with the purposes [of punishment]," it is the obligation of all judges at sentencing to try to give effect to this mandate unless and until Congress changes the terms of 3553(a). Moreover, when the US Sentencing Commission and others seek to judge the status of post-Booker sentencing, they should be sure to keep in mind that this statutory obligation now controls federal sentencing decision-making in individual cases.

There seems to be quite the epidemic in our government of determining the desired results, then making the "facts" fit those desired results. Paraphrasing a late, great lawyer, if the fact don't fit, you must ignore it. Judge Kopf might want to get to a diagnostician forthwith. There may be a cure.

Miranda Lambert appeared on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night (June 8), bringing with her a spirited performance of her song, "Actin' Up," from her Palomino album.
Airing the same night as her appearance at the TIME100 Gala, Lambert took the the stage in an Aubrey Hyde x Fort Lonesome shirt and skirt combo, complete with sparkly horses and other Western-themed imagery, and Idyllwind cowboy boots.
After being introduced by Fallon, the country star and her band dove into the spunky, smoldering song. Hear her voice soar on the chorus as she sings the free-spirited lyrics about seeing the world from her "painted palomino."
The chorus not only references Lambert's album title, but it also contains the name of her upcoming Las Vegas residency, Velvet Rodeo.
"I want a sunset ride, a velvet rodeo / A Colorado high, a California glow / I want to see the desert from a painted palomino / Senorita need to have a little fun / I'm actin' up," she sings.
The song only got bigger as the performance continued, leading up to a hard-rocking guitar solo before the bridge and the energetic final chorus.
The ACM Entertainer of the Year also performed "Actin' Up" and "Tin Man" at the TIME100 Gala on Wednesday night (June 8), during which she was honored as one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People of 2022. Her performance during the gala will be broadcast in a special television event, TIME100: The World's Most Influential People, on Sunday (June 12) at 8PM ET on ABC.
Lambert also wraps the Bandwagon Tour with Little Big Town this weekend, with shows in New York and New Jersey.

BkiUasvxK7Ehm79famwO | The Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde: "I'm not a tortured artist"
"The first two Pretenders albums were good, but people tend to focus too much on them," says Chrissie Hynde. "Maybe they're just things people need to cling to. They remind them of their youth or something. I guess when the world is as messed up as it is, I can accept that."
Or maybe it's that those early records weren't just good; they were special. It's been almost three decades since Hynde and the original Pretenders lineup (which included lead guitarist James Honeyman-Scott and bassist Pete Farndon, both deceased; and drummer Martin Chambers, who continues to play with the band) broke out of London's punk and new wave scene and created an international sensation with their 1979 debut, featuring the hits Brass In Pocket, Kid and Stop Your Sobbing.
The drug-related deaths of Honeyman-Scott and Farndon in 1982 and '83, respectively, temporarily derailed The Pretenders, but Hynde eventually put the group back together and soldiered on with a succession of lineups, some better than others, and most featuring Chambers.
"Martin and I are like old warriors," Hynde says. "We have each others' backs."
Since leaving her hometown of Akron, Ohio in early '70s, Hynde has lived in London, and much of the music she made reflected her transplanted Yank status - there's always been a tacit British sensibility to her approach.
In the last couple of years, however, Hynde has gone back to Ohio. She's been spending time with her aging parents, and the longtime vegetarian even opened up Akron's one-and-only vegan restaurant, which has been a huge and unexpected success.
Being back in America resulted in a personal musical shift for Hynde, also unexpected. "I've discovered, or re-discovered, my hillbilly roots," she says. This is borne out on the new album Break Up The Concrete, on which Hynde and her latest incarnation of The Pretenders (which includes guitarist James Walbourne, bassist Nick Wilkinson, Eric Heywood on pedal steel, and as usual, Chambers), quake with an authentic hoedown intensity.
For the album, Hynde recruited legendary session and touring drummer Jim Keltner, who Hynde says has "more of an American vibe." The redoubtable Mr. Chambers was not only receptive to the idea, he welcomed the challenge of later re-creating Keltner's parts live.
"Martin knows he's part of the band," says Hynde. "At this point in the game, I don't feel like going anywhere without him."
There's an emphasis on rockabilly and country rhythms on Break Up The Concrete. Was it your intention to make an 'American'-sounding record?
"But then I was in the Joshua Tree Park in California, and I wandered about and found the spot where Gram Parson's body was buried. I don't know what happened, but I had a moment. A moment of clarity. The whole theme and direction of the album came to me and I knew what I had to do."
You recorded the album very quickly. Was that the plan or did things just happen that way?
"The plan was to go in for one day with Jim Keltner and see what happened. Martin Chambers was very happy and gracious to step aside and let Jim work with us - I knew I wanted to explore other rhythms and different feels on the record, and there's a certain feel Jim has that I knew would be right for the project. Jim's been doing this kind of thing for a long time, playing on other people's records, and like I said, he has a feel that is uniquely his own - that's what I wanted. Martin's real happy with the record, and now that he has to play the songs live, it gives him a chance to improve his game. Hey, we all want to learn, right?
"So we went in with Jim and everything felt great from the word 'go.' We got two songs done in one day and decided to keep going. We burned through the rest of the songs in the next ten days and we had an album. It was just meant to be."
"Ray Davies once said to me, 'People like three songs, and then they like a lot of other songs that sound like those three.'"
The song Boots Of Chinese Plastic has unmistakable similarities to Tattooed Love Boys - the instrumental section, especially. Were you paying homage to the early Pretenders?
"Not really. It's a sound that I just naturally gravitate towards. Actually, the song was partially written right around the same of the first album - I kind of had it in my head all these years."
The song You Didn't Have To has the same kind of sweet melancholy of Kid. They could almost go side by side.
"Ray Davies once said to me, 'People like three songs, and then they like a lot of other songs that sound like those three.' I know that's how I feel. I like ballads, mid-tempo songs and rockers. I guess I just keep repeating myself. But lyrically, I never sit and think about what I wrote years ago or anything. There's no plan. Whatever comes out is what comes out."
Your new lead guitarist, James Walbourne, is a great player. What kind of characteristics do you look for in guitarists? Obviously, you've had some brilliant ones in the band.
"I look for someone who has a feel that's similar to James Honeyman-Scott. He's the guy that I invented the Pretenders sound with, so I'm looking for that first and foremost. But I'm also checking out how they look, how they hold the guitar when they're onstage - just the vibe. You can't explain a vibe; you just feel it. James Walbourne has it."
Let's talk about your songwriting. Does it come easily to you? Do you have a process?
"I can go months or even a year without thinking about songwriting. I'm not very ambitious. Songwriting isn't my life; it's just something I do. It was a way for me not to be a waitress. [laughs] So when I know I have to make an album, I sit down and see what's in my head. That's it, really. No process. I'm not a tortured artist. I'm not even an artist."
When you do write, how do you demo material? I imagine you're kind of old school, just a tape recorder and you singing and playing.
"I don't even do that. I just remember the songs and play them to the guys live when we're in a rehearsal room. I have my lyrics sheet and chords written down and that's it. I don't know how people work all these computer programs and whatnot for songwriting. If it helps them, great. But for me, I go by memory."
You've used a Telecaster throughout your career. What is it that you like so much about it - the feel, the sound?
"I'm just used to it. It's a guitar I picked up a long time ago and that's it. I don't know anything about guitars, really. A guitar is just a thing, a tool."
One person who did know a lot about guitars was James Honeyman-Scott. Did he have an influence on you as a player?
"I don't know if you can actually 'write' a solo; you just play it."
"Its really hard to say. James was an incredible guitarist, but I don't know if we rubbed off on each other. He did what he did; I did what I did. It was 30 years ago, you know?"
Certain solos and riffs of his have grown in significance over the years. The solo to the song Kid, for example - how long did it take him to write it?
"I don't know if you can actually 'write' a solo; you just play it. Again, it was so long ago...He just came in and played it and it worked out."
"Look, he was a great player and an important person in my life, but you're asking me to remember something that honestly...I've worked with a lot of great musicians. I have great musicians in my band now. I'm focused on what's going on now."
Speaking of now, are there any new bands that excite you?
"Not really. I've seen a few bands in the local bars in Akron that seem cool. But I don't pay too much attention. I'm trying to do my own thing and get through the day. That's really what I'm all about now, getting from today to tomorrow in one piece." | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUalnxK0-nUKDhoVa4 | Apple Faces $12 Million for Racial Profiling
March 24, 2017 by Jonathan Smith Leave a Comment
Tech giant Apple, Inc., has been suite in Federal District Court in Maryland by two residents who say they were subjected to racial profiling at an Apple store in Maryland. The plaintiffs allege that they went to the Apple store in Bethesda, Maryland on June 17, 2016 to purchase new cell phones. Following store protocol, they put their names in a queue of customers requiring assistance. They waited until their names were called and then purchased two new iPhones. As they exited the store, they were detained by uniformed Montgomery County Sheriff's deputies, who tackled them and threw them to the ground, then forced them to sit outside for more than an hour. They allege that the officers told them they had been notified by Apple employees that they looked "suspicious" and had "possibly" been engaged in fraudulent activity. They were subsequently released and never charged with anything.
