BkiUd885qhLBXeFpctnn | ECODESIGN signifies an environmentally sound design of products. Manufacturers, traders and consumers can find the legal basis for this in the EU Ecodesign Directive (Directive 2009/125/EC). In Germany, a law and a regulation transpose the Ecodesign Directive into national legislation.
The ENERGY LABEL is an energy consumption label that tells consumers about certain properties such as energy efficiency or emissions when using a product. The legal basis is the EU Regulation on Energy Labelling (Regulation (EU) 2017/1369). In Germany, a law and a regulation relate to this EU regulation.
The two instruments complement one another: the minimum standards in the ecodesign regulations ensure that inefficient products are no longer allowed on the market. Using the energy label, EU countries expect to shift the market towards more energy-efficient products. Consumers also benefit from the energy label since it provides more transparency for purchase decisions.
BAM is referred to as a "commissioned body" both in EVPG (Energy-related Product Law) and EnVKG (Energy Labelling Law). By offering information on the following pages, BAM supports manufacturers, traders and consumers. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

Apache Ant looks to Java 9 with new release
May 7, 2014 Lucy Carey
#apache #apache ant #java 8 #java 9
Whilst multitude of users are making first steps towards number 8, Java build tool gets a head start on preparing for next iteration of the platform.
Java library and command-line tool Apache Ant (short for 'Another Neat Tool') has reached version 1.9.4 status. Although the paint has barely dried on Java 8, the Ant colony is already marshalling its forces in preparation for Oracle's next big release with Ant 1.9.4, which provides initial support for Java 1.9.
Along with a multitude of bug fixes and tunings, Apache Ant 1.9.4 also comes with functionality for running JUnit test in multiple threads when they are forked. Ant's test suite has been refactored, and is now based on JUnit 4.
Due to the extreme flexibility of the tool, Ant doesn't impose coding conventions or directory layouts to the Java projects utilizing it in their builds. Indeed, one of Ant's key strengths is the high degree of freedom it gives devs when putting together a build. It can also be linked with Apache Ivy for software initiatives looking for a solution with a blend of build tool and dependency management.
Originally designed as a basic platform-independent tool for building Tomcat from directives in an XML "build file", version 1.1 of Ant made its debut as a stand-alone product in 2000. Although it looks a lot like a Java fuelled Make (and it was in fact designed in part to solve the latter's portability issues), the biggest difference is that Ant uses XML for describing the build process to Make's respective Makefile format.
Over the years, Ant has attracted a loyal following, and its fans are 'semi-religious' in their conviction when the 'Apache Maven versus Ant' debate inevitably arises. Whilst Maven is a less complex alternative to the tool, both tend to work best in distinctively different use case scenarios. A nice middle ground is offered by Groovy-based system Gradle, which sits somewhere between the two.
Regardless of your allegiance, if you're interested in finding out what's new in Ant, you can find source and binary distributions are on the Apache Ant download pages: http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi and http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi.

BkiUg1vxK7IADTol3NlZ | Adults with scoliosis also tend to have more symptoms than adolescents.
Degeneration of the spine's discs and joints, often caused by bone loss, narrows nerve openings and leads to back pain, fatigue, and loss of function. Most physicians — insisting adult scoliosis can't be corrected — focus on managing pain through medications, injections, or radical procedures such as severing the nerve roots.
But they are mistaken; scoliosis can be improved.
In fact, researchers have found that when doctors focus on treating the underlying cause of scoliosis symptoms, adult patients experience less pain and improve their ability to function. This groundbreaking study has given hope to thousands of adults with scoliosis who struggle daily with pain and other symptoms.
Most people think of scoliosis as a condition that affects only adolescents — not something adults struggle with. But every child with scoliosis eventually becomes an adult, and the belief that curves don't progress during adulthood is a myth. Adolescent curves over 50 degrees are likely to continue growing and can advance by up to 2 degrees per year. Over several decades, it can add up to significant progression.
It is also a myth that adults don't develop scoliosis. As the joints degenerate and bone density wanes with age, de novo (new) scoliosis can set in. It is a common condition among older adults, 68 percent of whom show signs of it. That is more than twice as many as the medical community previously thought.
Idiopathic scoliosis, the cause of which is unknown, typically peaks while the spine is still maturing. Progression becomes milder once the patient reaches adulthood, but the symptoms often become more severe as the curves slowly advance over the years. As the spine's natural curve is lost, adults may lean forward to relieve pressure on the nerves, causing the hips and knees to bend in order to remain upright.
When scoliosis develops during adulthood, it is often the result of diminished bone density and muscle strength. In women who are post-menopausal, for example, degenerative scoliosis is often associated with the same hormonal changes that give rise to osteoporosis. As the discs in the spine break down and arthritis sets in, the space between discs collapses and can cause back and leg pain.
Exercise. Weight-bearing postural activities, combined with balancing and isometric exercises, can help reverse adult scoliosis regardless of its origins. Using the ScoliSMART Activity Suit, adult patients can perform Automatic Response Training exercises to help retrain the brain to naturally correct the postural imbalance that causes scoliosis curve progression.
Whole body vibration therapy. For patients in too much pain to exercise, whole body vibration therapy can help combat the effects of degenerative scoliosis by improving bone density and strengthening back muscles.
Nutritional supplements. Maintaining healthy magnesium, manganese, boron, vitamin C, phosphorus, and B-vitamin levels is vital for supporting the treatment of adult scoliosis. Dietary supplements can also help rebuild lost bone matrix and relieve scoliosis pain.
The ScoliSMART Activity Suit is a non-invasive treatment option for adult scoliosis that doesn't just relieve symptoms – it corrects the underlying problem of spinal curvature by improving communication between the brain and muscles surrounding the spine, naturally correcting postural imbalances.
With the right combination of therapies, adults with scoliosis can achieve gradual pain reduction, improved function, and even potential curve reduction. Contact ScoliSMART to see how we can help.

BkiUdKPxK03BfNelWv_h | On the edge of the Compiègne Forest, perched up in the trees are around ten cabins of different shapes and sizes. To get to some of them, you have to climb a latter, others require you to cross a rope bridge! Christophe and Agathe began this adventure a few years ago, building on their experience in the local tree-climbing theme park. Guests are spoilt for choice among the prettily furnished cabins with double beds and/or bunk-beds, dining areas and panoramic terraces. The sanitary facilities are rather more rudimentary in the spirit of cabin life, with washbasins with 5-litre water tanks and earth-closet toilets. Showers are available in the reception building a few hundred metres away, which also makes a good refuge in a storm or in high winds. The cabins have dreamy names: "Le Clé des Champs", "Hissé Haut", "La Cachette" and "Toi et Moi" and are ideal for couples, groups of friends or families. Breakfast is hoisted up to your cabin in a basket each morning. In the evenings, should you wish to dine in intimate surroundings, perched in your tree amidst the rustling leaves, you can order a country-style, vegetarian or gourmet hamper. It's like a childhood dream, with excellent environmental credentials which will delight those seeking strong sensations. Not to be missed!
This former lodge of the Chateau Pelzer, now occupied by the famous Le Ceran Language School, is well-named "Sleeping Woods". It is surrounded by the woods and overflows with charm, with its pointed roofs and red-painted half-timbering. Mrs Pirotte had travelled all around the world before landing here and now extends a warm and enthusiastic welcome to her guests who come from all over the world. The two guest rooms upstairs are cosy: the "Chateau" room is decorated in shades of blue and has a huge en-suite bathroom, and the "Garden" room is decorated in shades of yellow and has an en-suite shower-room. A third guest bedroom is hidden among the trees and is called "The Sleeping Woods Cabin". It is superb, huge and has its own terrace. The interior is warm with furniture and ornaments evoking both the Ardennes and Africa. The bathroom offers every modern comfort with a shower cubicle made from a hollowed-out tree, a washbasin and a WC. Breakfasts for guests staying in the cabin is brought each morning in a basket: other guests are served breakfast in the dining room. At breakfast, guests can enjoy home-made or home produced eggs, cheese, cooked meats and jams, syrup and Galler chocolate...all of it excellent! In the evening, gastronomic dinners are available on request. There is plenty to do in Spa: walking in the woods, playing golf, hang-gliding, the hot-springs treatment centre, museums, and festivals. The Fagnes moors are also nearby.
This tree-house is situated high in the branches of an oak tree, reflected in the water of the lake. Access is via a narrow private path that leads from a small door straight out of Hansel & Gretel. The tree-house has three floors: a living-room, a dining-area and kitchen, then a small bedroom and a bathroom. There is also a beautiful terrace overlooking the lake, meadows and woods. Higher up is the dormitory for two or three guests, with pretty windows cut out of the wood. The trunk and branches of the tree that pass through the rooms remind you of where you are. In the evenings, you will fall asleep to the croaking of the frogs or the hooting of the owls, to be awoken in the morning by the quacking of the ducks or birdsong. Who could dream of a better place to recharge your batteries surrounded by nature?
"Het Veloren Gedicht" ("The Lost Poem") is a building full of history. Originally a nineteenth-century convent and chapel, occupied by the Sisters of St Joseph until 1967, it was sold to private owners who used it for several purposes until it was bought by Steven and Ellen Coene who completely restored it and converted it to offer three stunning guest rooms. Two of these rooms are accessed via the old convent corridor. They are very spacious and unusually decorated with various salvaged items, including the stained-glass windows from the chapel. Most certainly worth an overnight visit! At the end of the corridor is the small room where breakfast is served on amusing crokery made by disabled children. But the house's greatest secret remains to be discovered: the loft-style suite with the chapel vault as its ceiling. It has an exotic, almost mystic atmosphere, with a king-size bed dominating the centre of the room, a lounge area with a giant-screen TV and a bathroom in an enormous sort of metal case with bath, shower and washbasin arranged head-to-foot. This is a place you really must try to visit if you can. In addition, the owners are charming and very interesting. Oh, I almost forgot, the B&B's name refers to the three poems after which the guest rooms are named: G. Gezelle's "Het Schrijverken", C. Baudelaire's "Elévation" and E. Dickenson's "Elysium". | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 0 |
BkiUd045qWTBLNsCq-Fc | "alms" and Salish help
(Image credit: Pinterest)
So there's this word < elamí > 'alms' (charity, baksheesh, largesse) in Francis-Norbert Blanchet's Chinook Jargon dictionary.
(I'm looking at the 5th edition of it.)
(Here and throughout this essay, angled brackets < > distinguish informally written forms of words from actual pronunciations, which are unbracketed.)
I have mentioned this word in previous posts, (here) and (here).
Isn't that plenty enough for one single word?
No, no it isn't.
This word has been gnawing at my brain for a while. Where did it come from? Spoiler alert: it's not from English "alms".
It's notable that I haven't found < elamí > in the 1871 dictionary and catechism that Blanchet played a part in with Modeste Demers and Louis-Napoleon St Onge.
There, the closest resemblance is with their < elaɧan > 'help'. (I'm using ɧ for their "broken-legged H".) This is a fine match of meanings — other editions of Blanchet, and other Jargon dictionaries, give synonyms for 'alms' as < elahan, elann >, which are the usual words for 'help'.
The only corroborating reference I'm finding for a 'help'-type Jargon word with an m in it is from the same region, around the lower Columbia River, in Father Lionnet's 1853 vocabulary, which consistently uses < elaham >.
Based on the analysis I've previously done, I've traced the n-final versions of the word to Lower Chehalis Salish, where it looks to come from a command yəláʔən 'help her/him/it!' I've figured that the spellings seen above reflect French-speakers' perception and reflection of Native pronunciation:
< e > at the beginning = French < é > = Native y(ə) which we know to alternate pretty fluidly with i/e in Salish.
< h > or < ɧ > are French-speakers' attempts to reflect that glottal catch ʔ. (So is the double n of < elann >.)
The fun twist is that < ɧ > almost always signals a sound that modern linguists might write as x or χ or x̣, which is like the < ch > in Scottish "loch" and German "Bach". I've never found a matching Salish word with such a sound in it, so I'm forced to imagine that Blanchet/Demers/St Onge intended a plain old < h > in this word.
As for the < (a)m > on the end of < elaham >, it could believably represent the "Middle-voice, Perfective-aspect" suffix -m of these languages. This is quite nice if true, because we don't otherwise seem to have a documented Middle form of this verb, but in Lower Chehalis for example, we would expect exactly this shape. (yəláʔəm should mean 'help out!') So this may be one of the many instances where Chinuk Wawa helps us reconstruct the other Indigenous languages!
Still looking at southwest Washington Salish languages, we find something else that's relevant. Just one language, Upper Chehalis, has as its related verb root the "m-" final yalə́m-, said to specifically mean 'hire'. So that's a nice correspondence with our Jargon < elamí > 'alms'. I don't have a good explanation for the í on the end, however. No forms, certainly not the Imperative (command) suffixes in the local Salish languages, match this in any sensible way.
Which raises the possibility that a reason for < elamí > being such an exceedingly rare bird in the Jargon is, it was a typo. A mistake for < elann >, for instance.
Let me wrap up by sharing a wonderful little related fact with you. In the Cowlitz and Upper Chehalis languages, the generic word for 'help' (as opposed to 'hire' seen above) is tál̓ič(n). This is transparently from an old southwest Washington root tál̓ 'accompany', also used in forming the 'teens' numerals. Speaking of teens, that root still means 'accompany' in Lower Chehalis, which uses it in a delightful word for 'chaperone' that literally means 'be accompanied by a heron'. (Picture, if you will, that bystander idling on one leg, bored stiff and/or waiting to pounce on any fishy activity!) With the suffix -ič(n), the Cowlitz and Upper Chehalis 'help' originally meant something like 'back-accompany, go along to help pack things on one's back'.
And why do I mention that fun but seemingly useless mite of trivia?
Because it shows you that our Chinuk Wawa word for general 'help' — pronounced yéʔlan nowadays at Grand Ronde — did not come from Cowlitz Salish or Upper Chehalis Salish. (Nor Quinault Salish, whose cognate word starts with a "j" sound.)
Once again, as so very often, we see Lower Chehalis Salish, the "other" language of Shoalwater Bay besides Chinookan, playing a really important role in the early formation of the Jargon.
That's a story I'm happy to help tell at last.

BkiUcqm6NNjgBpvIA9RL | The HCSM Review is a peer-reviewed blog carnival for everyone interested in health care social media.
As the Director for the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media, I'm focused on demonstrating practical benefits of social media for patients. So in my call for submissions, I asked for posts testifying to the ways social media has helped patients.
"I realize there is a lot of huzzah and hurrah about the e-patient out there—perhaps among those who have the skill or leisure to be so well connected to social media. At times, I believe I'm one of the fold. But what about the f-patient? The well-meaning, diligent user of social media who finds herself inexplicably … well, the most accurate way to put it is … "f'd" by the health care system?
"In a one-night stay at my beloved local hospital, I found myself – seasoned cardiac patient that I am – misconstrued as a narcotics monger, migraine patient, and generalized neurotic, gaseous female.
"I had my smart phone. But, no charger. As the hours progressed into double digits and I realized my predicament, the best use of my phone was to call my internist and cardio, because no one at the hospital had bothered to do so. I suppose I could have accessed facebook at some point and drained battery, but to what end? Would it have furthered my progress? Doubtful. And besides, I was preoccupied with my roommate's ongoing constipation/diarrhea issues on the other side of the curtain.
Editor's Note: I got to meet Katherine last year when she attended our Social Media Residency and participated in our Social Media Summit at Mayo Clinic. Read her story here in the Wall Street Journal. I was one of the co-authors of the Mayo Clinic Proceedings article about how she helped instigate rare disease research through social media. And I'm proud that through Social Media Residency we helped her start her blog.
"So what does a family do when they need help and a private patient advocate isn't an option? Currently, they might look for help from a community program, do some online research, or turn to their family and friends for answers….
"So if you are not coping well what do you do to improve your ability to be resiliant and bounce back to at least a shadow of your former self? How do you cope with pain, medications, numerous doctor appointments, and the feelings of guilt that you have for "letting people down" because you can no longer fill all of the roles that you could before?

BkiUdrg4eIOjR8afhBDl | This is quit a accomplishing project for someone your age. I'm sure Zenith has influenced you to be a lifetime customer, it sure impressed me!
Brilliant story and stunning achievement!
Great story and very well done with the restoration, hats off to you.
Two thumbs WAY UP! Way to go, Mick. It sounds like watchmaking is in your blood. I foresee great things for you, in the future. An engineer, perhaps? Good luck in your studies!
This is an outstanding post. I wish there were more posts like yours.
Congratulations on putting back together a very special vintage timepiece.
Outstanding! Thank you for posting this story. I think you have a real future in watchmaking if you choose that as your profession!
What an outstanding story!! As much as I am impressed with Zenith, I'm even more blown away by the OP. Amazing work man.
Wow! Thank's for all the great replies!
I still feel a bit surreal also! I just didn't expect that it would actually happen! I still have to write a letter back to Zenith to thank them and show the result.
Keto9's assumption is right, I am not a native speaker of the English language. My first language is Dutch, though I do want to attend an English study next year. Some of you might not expect this, but I want to attend International business and management studies next year. I do however hope that I will be able to combine my work with my passion for watchmaking later on when I finished my study.
Thank you for sharing an awesome watch story Mick. You have rebuilt a fantastic watch, and I hope you enjoy it for many years.
Amazing! Where you self taught? | c4 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 1 |

*Bergendang (Drumming)
In the traditional musical performances of the Malay community in Sarawak, it is the womenfolk who play the gendang or drums. Seated behind a screen, they drum out their beats in rhythm to songs sung by young maidens and dances performed by men.
*Wayang Kulit (Shadow Play)
Wayang Kulit is a traditional theater art-form using puppets and shadow-play to tell the epic tales of the Ramayana. The puppets are made of buffalo hide and mounted on bamboo sticks. There may be as many as 45 puppets - handled entirely by a single master puppeteer, known as the Tok Dalang.
*Maggagong (Gong Ensembles)
Brass or bronze gong ensembles form an inherent part of Sabah's ethnic music. The melody varies from district to district. The Kadazan Dusun group include six songs and a drum called the sopogogungan (Penampang) in their musical composition while the Bajau from Kota Belud add kulintangan, a set of kettle-bedded gongs.
*Bunga Malai (Garland Making)
Flowers form an integral part of the cultural heritage of Malaysian Indians for religious occasions, weddings, moving house, or welcoming an important guest. Flowers, holy basil, and the leaves of the margosa or mango tree are strung together to form a malai or garland. They are done in different styles to suit each particular occasion.
*Sumpit (Blow Pipe)
The tribal people of Sarawak are known for their magnificent hunting skills. They are aided by the sumpit, a six-foot long wooden blowpipe with a poisoned or a barbed tip. One quick puff sends the dart (sometimes twenty-yards away) to the victim, usually a wild pig, deer, or bird.
*Silat (The Malay Art of Self defense)
Silat, the Malay art of self-defense combines a series of supple movements, which enables a person to defend himself under provocation. The aim of silat is to instill confidence in oneself in the face of adversity. Occasionally, a keris (small dagger) may be used.

Contract awarded for new Bay Roberts primary school
By Andrew Macklin February 21, 2019
The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has awarded a contract to construct a new primary school in Bay Roberts to replace Coley's Point Primary. The contract, valued at approximately $16.2 million, has been awarded to JMJ Holdings Ltd.
"We're pleased to reach this next milestone in delivering a new primary school for the Bay Roberts area," said Steve Crocker, Minister of Transportation and Works. "Work begins this year and in 2021, students and staff will move into a new and modern facility designed to meet the needs of their community for the long-term."
The new school will be designed to accommodate students from Kindergarten to Grade 3 and will be located behind Amalgamated Academy on Eric Dawe Drive. It will be a single-storey, 4,100-square-metre facility featuring 18 classrooms, a gymnasium, a music room, cafeteria, and other required amenities.
Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2019 and be completed in early 2021.
The government also provided an update on the tendering and construction of several other education projects throughout the province. A Request for Proposals to construct the new Paradise Intermediate was issued in January, while tenders for the replacement of Bay d'Espoir Academy and the Gander Academy reconstruction will be issued this winter. Construction on these three projects is expected to start in 2019 and be completed in 2021. Construction continues on the Mobile Central High and St. Peter's Academy extensions, with occupancy of both expected this year.

BkiUdnzxaL3Suji9h1RH | 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™
Europe stirs preliminary passions
(FIFA.com)
With Europe boasting such a plethora of heavyweight football nations, it is no surprise that the so-called old continent has produced some of the most memorable and keenly-contested FIFA World Cup™ qualifiers in history. Who can forget, for example, Germany and England's remarkable meetings en route to Korea/Japan 2002, or the way in which Israel and Bulgaria combined to ensure that France missed out on making a trip across the Atlantic in1994? Join
FIFA.com on a trip down memory lane.
*Toughest groups * The popular wisdom is that the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the resulting increase in competitors, has made the European nations' task of qualifying for a FIFA World Cup tougher than ever. However, even when groups were comprised of just three teams, there process could still be incredibly perilous. Just ask France, who finished bottom of a three-nation preliminary section for the 1974 FIFA World Cup, beneath both Republic of Ireland and the mighty USSR. The strength of the UEFA field was also neatly summed up by a Mexico 1986 preliminary section, one which West Germany topped ahead of Portugal, Sweden, Czechoslovakia and Malta.
This section leaves us spoiled for choice. Memories are still vivid, for example, of the Ronald Koeman-inspired 2-0 win over England in October 1993 that saw Netherlands through to USA 1994 at the Three Lions' expense. England also served up a couple of incredible encounters against old foes Germany during the Korea/Japan 2002 qualifiers, losing 1-0 in the final match at the old Wembley Stadium before going on to beat the Germans 5-1 in Munich, Michael Owen's hat-trick the highlight of a memorable comeback win. This also set the scene for one of the FIFA World Cup preliminaries' most iconic goals: David Beckham's dramatic qualification-sealing free-kick against Greece at Old Trafford.
*Biggest upsets * The bigger they come, the harder they fall, and several of Europe's giants have certainly been brought crashing to earth in FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Netherlands, for example, went into the 1982 preliminaries having made the Final in both 1974 and 1978, yet they failed to even reach the finals in Spain after claiming just one point from a possible six against a Republic of Ireland side still eight years away from their first FIFA World Cup finals appearance. Even more remarkable were the 3-2 and 2-1 home defeats Israel and Bulgaria inflicted on France in the autumn of 1993, results which combined to ensure Les Bleus failed to reach USA 1994.
*Familiar foes * England and Poland would appear the most obvious example of UEFA nations whose paths continuously cross. The Poles famously qualified at the Three Lions' expense for the 1974 FIFA World Cup, and the teams have since gone on to face each other in the preliminaries for Italy 1990, USA 1994, France 1998 and Germany 2006, not to mention locking horns in the finals themselves at Mexico 1986.

BkiUdP05qsBC6bS3PV3Y | Q: proving $G(G'G)^{-3/2}G'=(GG')^{-1/2}$ Can someone suggest how this equality is derived? I feel like I'm forgetting some basic property of of matrices (this formula comes up in Figure 1 of https://arxiv.org/pdf/1806.02958.pdf)
A: I don't like $G$ and $G'$ as notation for matrices, so I'll write $A$ and $B$ instead. So the question is to prove
$$A(BA)^{-3/2}B=(AB)^{-1/2}.\tag{*}$$
If we square the LHS of (*) we get
$$A(BA)^{-3/2}BA(BA)^{-3/2}B=A(BA)^{-2}B=AA^{-1}B^{-1}A^{-1}B^{-1}B=B^{-1}A^{-1}=(AB)^{-1}.$$
So $(*)$ holds if we interpret it as saying that
the expression on the left, whichever
square root of $BA$ we take, when squared gives $(AB)^{-1}$.
A: Let the SVD be defined as $\underline {\overline {\bf{G}} } = \underline {\overline {\bf{U}} } \,\underline {\overline {\bf{\Lambda }} } \,{\underline {\overline {\bf{V}} } ^ + }$. Then ${\left( {{{\underline {\overline {\bf{G}} } }^ + }\underline {\overline {\bf{G}} } } \right)^{ - \frac{3}{2}}} = \underline {\overline {\bf{V}} } \,{\underline {\overline {\bf{\Lambda }} } ^{ - 3}}{\underline {\overline {\bf{V}} } ^ + }$ and the rest should be obvious.
EDIT. $G=U\Lambda V^+$. Then $(G^+G)^{-3/2}=V\Lambda ^{-3}V^+$
A: Here is a wonderful result, which I attribute to Higham (but I may be wrong)
$$A\,f(BA) = f(AB)\,A$$
which is true for any two matrices for which the respective function arguments are square-shaped and the functions exists.
Applying this to the current problem yields
$$\eqalign{
G(G^TG)^{-3/2}G^T &= (GG^T)^{-3/2}GG^T \cr
&= (GG^T)^{-1/2}(GG^T)^{-1}GG^T \cr
&= (GG^T)^{-1/2} \cr
}$$

BkiUbOXxK3YB9raXyKAT | Draft of President Obama's Student-Data-Privacy Bill Raises Questions
By Benjamin Herold — January 29, 2015 6 min read
New federal student-data-privacy legislation being crafted by the White House would prohibit education technology vendors from selling student information and directing targeted advertisements at students, but the legislation remains silent on other controversial industry practices, according to documents obtained by Education Week.
Since President Barack Obama announced earlier this month that he would seek a new federal "Student Digital Privacy Act," educators, advocates, and industry leaders have awaited crucial details that could reshape the responsibilities of both companies and schools when it comes to protecting students' privacy.
The White House has yet to release those details publicly.
But a draft of the proposed bill that has been circulated privately by Obama Administration officials offers key insights. It is unclear if the documents obtained by Education Week represent the most recent draft of the proposed legislation, or an early version that has since undergone revision.
The White House did not immediately return a request for comment.
The apparently rechristened "Student Digital Privacy and Innovation Act" seemingly aims to create a uniform national playing field by pre-empting the patchwork of state laws currently in place—a key concern of industry groups.
The draft bill would also assign responsibility for enforcing violations of students' privacy under the act to the Federal Trade Commission.
And while the draft federal proposal is broadly similar to recently enacted state legislation in California, which the president hailed as a model during a speech earlier this month, it also contains key differences.
Some of those differences are likely to be looked upon favorably by privacy advocates, but two significant differences between the draft bill and the Student Online Personal Information Protection Act, or SOPIPA, signed into law by California Gov. Jerry Brown in September, are likely to be viewed as industry-friendly.
Unlike the California law, the draft version of the proposed federal bill obtained by Education Week does not contain an explicit prohibition on vendors amassing profiles of K-12 students for non-educational uses.
Nor does the draft federal bill follow California's approach of prohibiting vendors from collecting student information via an educational site, service, or application, then using that information to target advertising to students elsewhere.
"That sounds like a concession to [companies] who are broader than education," such as Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft, said Douglas Levin, the executive director of the State Educational Technology Directors Association, based in Glen Burnie, Md., when apprised of the language contained in the documents obtained by Education Week.
"There very well could be sausage-making going on, in terms of compromises in crafting the [bill's] language, before it is made public," Levin said.
No timetable has yet been announced for when an official version of the proposed federal legislation will be made public.
There are currently three federal student-data-privacy laws on the books, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA. Many educators, advocates, and ed-tech industry officials say those laws are too antiquated to effectively deal with the privacy and security challenges associated with the digital devices, software, cloud-based services, and "big data" that are now ubiquitous in K-12 schools.
The new federal legislation, if enacted, would seek to complement, rather than replace or update, the existing laws, said Joel Reidenberg, a law professor at Fordham University, when apprised of the draft bill's language by Education Week.
Unlike FERPA, for example, the draft Student Digital Privacy and Innovation Act contains provisions that would require companies to "maintain reasonable security procedures and protocols" for student data, and to delete such information at the request of a school or district.
Both are "positive and appropriate" features of the proposed legislation, Reidenberg said.
The draft federal legislation also offers a more expansive definition of "covered information" than even SOPIPA. Under the bill, "statistical inferences" that are made by companies and identifiable to individual students would be protected by the new privacy provisions, a potential change that Reidenberg applauded.
But some questionable industry practices that are either already in use or likely to become prevalent in the not-too-distant future would likely not be covered by the draft bill, which focuses primarily on prohibiting targeted and behavioral advertising.
Such an approach would likely not prevent companies from using information gleaned from educational apps and websites to target students with search engine results, content, or recommendations on commercial sites elsewhere, Reidenberg maintained.
"It's addressing the situation currently, but not looking ahead a year or two," he said. "I think there are some weaknesses [in the draft language] that I hope Congress will address."
Industry concerns
As the apparent addition of the word "innovation" to its name suggests, the draft bill also seeks to ensure that ed-tech companies are not unduly hindered from creating products and services that can benefit students, teachers, and schools.
The draft of the proposed legislation, for example, specifies that operators may use student information "for maintaining, developing, supporting, improving, or diagnosing the operator's site, service or application."
It also specifically states that the act would "not limit the ability of an operator to use student data, including covered information, for adaptive or personalized student learning purposes."
And like California's SOPIPA law, the draft Student Digital Privacy and Innovation Act includes an exemption for the sale of student data in the event of a "purchase, merger, or other type of acquisition of an operator by another entity," so long as the information remains subject to the same legal protections in place when it was originally collected.
In addition to pushing the new federal legislation, the Obama administration has also worked hard to help get more than 90 companies to sign a voluntary privacy-protection pledge developed by two Washington-based organizations: the Software & Information Industry Association, an industry trade group, and the Future of Privacy Forum, a think tank.
Those groups say any company that publicly commits to the pledge, then violates its tenets, could be subject to penalties by the Federal Trade Commission for unfair and deceptive business practices.
According to the draft document obtained by Education Week, the FTC would also be responsible for enforcing violations of the new federal student-data-privacy law, under the commission's same regulations.
That's "probably not a bad thing," said Levin of SETDA, especially if the alternative is enforcement by the U.S. Department of Education.
"Given that this [draft] bill seems to be about regulating company practices, the FTC is probably the right place," he said. "It's a body that has acted to protect consumers and has in the past issued fines that have been pretty substantial."

Karl Rove, Presidential political advisor: Mr. President, that State of the Union 2003 speech has to include a little something about energy.
George W. Bush , President of the United States: It does, huh? All that Saddam talk ain't gonna be enough for the American people?
Rove: Mmm, I'm afraid not, sir
POTUS: Well what's our plan? I don't have all day. Have we cranked out a plan and given it to Congress to sign yet? I've gotta go runnin.
Rove: Mmmm, I'm afraid we don't have much in the way of an energy plan, sir.
POTUS: No? Whose fault is that? I want names. Damn that Daschle. I'll bet he's behind this.
Richard Cheney , Vice President of the United States: *cough* That's not quite right, sir. We have created various energy options, but they've gone, well, unread.
POTUS: Unread? You mean, like they're in somebody's inbox, but he hasn't read 'em yet?
Cheney: That would appear to be the case.
-------- uncomfortable silence ----------------
POTUS: What are you guys lookin' at me for? I'm the President. I don't have time to read this 'n that. I'm here to manage. Give me the skinny, Dick, right now. Three options. You know it's hard to think about any more than that, and besides, them Secret Service guys are waitin' for me to go runnin' with them. Today's our speed day.
Cheney: All right, sir. Three options. One, slash and burn the old-growth forests out west and use the energy for generating electricity. Upside is, trees grow back and we've got lots of 'em. Downside is, all the smoke. Two, increase oil & gas production. Upside is, our oil and gas industry has been chomping at the bit to do this for years. It'd reinvigorate the economy too. Downside is, the Gulf of Mexico, California and Alaska coastal regions may become ecologically disadvantaged for a short time. We can spin that, however.
POTUS: "Ecologically disadvantaged." Will someone translate that so that a West Texas boy can understand that?
Colin Powell , secretary of State: It means, Mr. President, that unforseen events could occur which could result in an unplanned commingling of oceanic water and oil and oil byproducts.
POTUS: Colin you overeducated sunufabitch I can't tell if you're making fun of me or telling me the truth. Dial it down, brainiac.
Condoleezza Rice , National Security Council advisor: Oil spils, sir. Ships breaking up. Bad press. The Sierra Club gets very unhappy when Exxon loses a supertanker off the coast somewhere. The press loves pictures of men cleaning the black ooze off terns and seagulls. Sir.
POTUS: Keerist on a crutch. My daddy warned me about that. Executive decision: no go. That's it. That's a no go. Ain't gonna happen. Have to make some phone calls to some buds I go hunting with, smooth that one out, but right now, it's a no go. Next.
Cheney: Yes sir. *cough* It appears we've got one that trickled up through the science advisors. This one's a long shot, but it may be intriguing.
POTUS: Science, huh? Never was my strong suit. Had a bad teacher I guess. He wore glasses. I never did get along with the teachers who wore glasses. No offense, Dick and Karl.
Cheney and Rove: *cough* None taken, sir. Mmmm.
Cheney: This one's on hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen combines with oxygen, releases energy - lots of it, apparently - and then makes water. You could drink the exhaust. General Motors has studied this for years and years.
POTUS: Hydergin? Tell me more. (Scrunches up face. Looks shrewd, in his best smart-guy imitation.)
Cheney: Yes sir. Water can be separated into hydrogen and oxygen gases. These are kept separately until the moment they're needed. The gases are mixed together, and with a little spark they're combined explosively. The energy released is quite a lot. The hydrogen and oxygen cells are where the real technology comes in.
POTUS: Water, huh? We got lots of water. Wait a minute. (He attempts to use his shrewd poker face.) If this is so simple, how come the commanists haven't invented it yet? How come we're not drivin' around in pickup trucks burnin' this stuff?
Cheney: I don't quite know, sir. I was a political sciences major in college. You'd have to ask your science advisors.
POTUS: Who ARE my damn science advisors?
Rove: Exactly, sir. We don't invite them to the meetings. They're a bit... naïve. When they answer my questions, it's like WHOOSH! (hand flies over top of head). You might be able to understand them, of course, sir, but they're beyond me.
Cheney: *cough*
Powell and Rice barely suppress smiles.
POTUS: Awright I gotta wrap up here. Here it is. Executive decision. Bull by the horns. Dick, you don't understand this.
Cheney: No sir.
POTUS: And Karl, you don't understand this.
Rove: No sir.
POTUS: Condi?
Rice: Not absolutely, Mr. President.
POTUS: Mr. Smarty Britches? (looks at Powell)
Powell: Er, no, Mr. President.
POTUS: Well then it's simple. Here it is. Here's the plan. Gather round, and learn from the master. We tell the American people that we got this plan, see? This plan for energy. Chicken in every pot kinda thing. (Looks around room to get approval. No one drops their poker face. They're mystified and terrified at the same time.)
POTUS: We say, Hey, we got energy. Got energy for the cars. Don't need oil from them Ay-rab nations. If Kuwait gets blown up again, we can make it. Not right away - see that's the thing. Let it sink in. Get the brainiacs into the newspapers, discuss it, get some press, kinda like our missile defense shield, pretty soon it's in the schools. Right now the average person can't understand it. Hell, the smartest guys in the White House can't understand it. But the science guys say we can do it. But it'll take TIME. Like, a few administrations. Another four year term. Maybe another one after that. Maybe two after that. If they're Republican. Gotta hold the line. Science. Hold the line. Hydergin. Infinite power. I LIKE it!
POTUS: Awright, finish up here, Dick. I gotta run. Heh heh. Get it? Sometimes I crack myself up.
Excerpt from the State of the Union address, January, 28, 2003
Tonight I am proposing $1.2 billion in research funding so that America can lead the world in developing clean, hydrogen-powered automobiles. A simple chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen generates energy, which can be used to power a car producing only water, not exhaust fumes. With a new national commitment, our scientists and engineers will overcome obstacles to taking these cars from laboratory to showroom so that the first car driven by a child born today could be powered by hydrogen, and pollution-free. Join me in this important innovation to make our air significantly cleaner, and our country much less dependent on foreign sources of energy.
I like it! 4 C!s

BkiUdWc4dbghRguYJBh_ | Beef ball is a commonly cooked food in Canton and overseas Chinese communities which was originated by Teochew people. As the name suggests, the ball is made of beef that has been finely pulverized, other ground meat such as pork may be the ingredients of the beef balls. They are easily distinguishable from fish balls due to their darker color. Another characteristic is the tiny pieces of tendon in each ball will dissolve with prolonged cooking.

BkiUbbk4eIZijQpFYk4E | The article ``Russians in Estonia Struggle to Learn Difficult Language,'' July 7, states, ``noncitizens ... are required to pass a standard Estonian proficiency test to obtain residency permits,'' and that ``those who fail to meet the requirements face deportation.'' It is inaccurate not to have mentioned that under the Estonian Law on Aliens of 1993, no one will be deported from Estonia for not knowing the language.
A minimal language requirement (about 1,500 words) exists for obtaining Estonian citizenship, but all civilians who are in Estonia based on ``legal'' residency under Soviet rule can register for residency permits. Residency, as opposed to citizenship, means one cannot vote or serve in the military.
The article quotes Russian president Boris Yeltsin, who says that Estonia's language-related citizenship is a form of ethnic cleansing. The city of Narva is mentioned, where 95 percent of the population is Russian speaking. Until the Soviet occupation in 1945, Narva, like the rest of Estonia, was almost completely Estonian-speaking. The present inhabitants of Narva are there as a result of an illegal displacement of the population that began 50 years ago. Epp Kuhn, Princeton, N.J. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbgfxK0iCl2n1-A-h | John Kuczwanski was killed in a traffic accident in Tallahassee Florida News
Those comments were made on a thread, posted by Florida Politics Publisher Peter Schorsch, announcing Kuczwanski's death. Florida's Stand Your Ground laws are very clear when it comes to people defending their property with guns. Unless the surveillance cameras and eyewitnesses tell a very different story than the one being reported, Kuczwanski's death will fall under the Sunshine State's very expansive view of self-defense. In fact, under Florida's gun laws, if Kuczwanski did indeed shoot first, he would—had he survived—likely been able to make the same claim of self-defense.
I rolled up behind a Prius in downtown St. Pete last week. It had a Trump decal on the back of it. I know a conservative that drives a Tesla 3. I know dozens of "progressives" that own guns. Your generalizations and narratives are all false. You are as bad as those that follow the Orange Goblin.
Unfortunately his life ended just as tragically too. A 90 year old business partner shot him in the head after a threatening argument. The 90 year old said he wasnt taking deceased abuse any longer and it was totally worth it. He served 2 years of a life sentence before dying of old age himself. Lesson to be learned always keep your cool!
I am sorry she lost her hubs and the kids lost their dad. But twice he tried to kill that Prius driver. His ability to have a firearm should have been revoked back in 2014 when he pointed a handgun with a mounted laser at someone at an intersection because doing so is a felony. I don't feel sorry for him or his family at all.
He made an emotional decision that cost him his life. I seriously doubt his political affiliation was on either of their minds in the heat of the moment. Progressives don't carry guns and shoot people. You right-wingers can't defend your unholy love for pistols. The natural Florida ppl came here for & immediately began to destroy was the product of DEMOCRATS.
I picture all of you as the type that are white but wear dreadlocks. The type that couldn't pass my Engineering grad program, so you settled for a University of Phoenix Sociology diploma. I am talking about almost all of you, here. Sounds to me like this guy had a pattern, and it cost him his life. You hate the thought that people own guns, UNLESS the Prius driver is possibly a Progressive.
And frankly, this is unfair to the crazy weeb types, because a lot less people get stabbed with katanas than get shot by gun fuckers. I agree with you that gun classes teach all of what you're saying above and more, but that doesn't mean that the training takes hold in all the people who take it. A 60-year-old man shot and wounded an armed teen during a carjacking Thursday night in the city's West Mount Airy section, police said. I will always support the 2A but at the same world finance gaffney sc time I will always support gun control, and now days it's easier to get a gun than a drivers license. While the short report says, "For now, no charges have been filed in this case." The LCSO is also conducting a full investigation to acquire as many witnesses and video footage as possible. "Arrest papers show a driver complained that a man in a red F150 pick up pointed a gun with a laser sight at him while the two were at the intersection of Thomasville and Bannerman Roads.
In fact, the late politician had a similar run-in for which he was arrested at the same intersection eight years ago. McLymore told WABC he was with his son in the city of Newburgh on Saturday afternoon when he slowed down to allow another vehicle to pass in front of him. This angered the driver behind him, he said. McLymore, who is Black, told the outlet the man yelled the N-word at him and his son.

BkiUfDrxK3xgpbERESZc | Essentially benign, Villagers here lay a tense and never quite consummated Eighties post-punk/neo-psychedelic guitar chug over nautical singer-songwriterly metaphors. Ship Of Fools is sure to comfort morbidly introspective young people who feel adrift, or at sea, or storm-tossed, so to speak, in their daily lives. Sadly, it seems to fade at just the point where older and more reckless musicians would cut loose and wig out.
More apparently fearful youths, this time from Australia, where bands could once be relied upon to do something extreme. The Darkest Side is over-produced and over-cluttered with floaty flutes and whispered backing vocals, burying the stark vulnerability it might have had in a slurry of designer schmaltz. Doubtless some depressive teen imagines it speaks directly to them.
A potentially euphoric indie-pop record is ruined by airless production, note perfect playing, a metronomic failure to push the beat, and X-factor type emotive singing. There's a strange, context free, nod towards proper rock and roll with a twangy Link Wray run at 1min 55, followed by cheesey Rubettes b-side style sincere spoken word section. The Railway Children revival starts here. Oh Manchester, so much to answer for.
Tuung take the same elements The Middle East muck up, diaphanous female harmonies and softly plucked acoustic guitars, but offset them against twittery electronics, big beats that are equal parts Terry Cox and pro-tools, rural religious chanting, and sudden snatches of noise, lifting the whole thing out of the mire. No-one involved in this need feel the least bit ashamed of themselves.
Ash's first single, Jack Names The Planets, was a hormonal instinctive surge of unknowing genius that they never bettered. Sixteen years later this not un-engaging mid-paced rock ballad is untroubled by either effervescent adolescent enthusiasm, or the gravity of approaching middlescence, but does its job just fine. Once again, in the closing seconds, the briefest of hanging cadences on the closing guitar chord suggests things were just about to get more interesting.
Marina and The Diamonds – Oh No.
Look, I'm a 43 year old man, this record isn't really aimed at me, and to be honest I'm not even really sure it's appropriate for me to be listening to it. After four decades on the earth, I am none the wiser about this kind of music. Presumably you jump around to it in night clubs and tap your feet to it in the car. But then what? The young woman's staccato singing phrasing in the verse is quite amusing and I enjoyed the knowing histrionics in the 'Oh no' bit. What am I supposed to be feeling? I don't know. Can I stop doing these reviews now? It's twenty years since I read the NME. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUfxPxK7kjXLSrH5sj | How to wear a shemagh military style
Is it OK to wear a shemagh?
In arid countries, it is worn to protect the face and mouth from dust and sun, but it can be worn almost anywhere! For most everyday uses, you won't be wearing your shemagh in the traditional way, wrapped around your face.
Why do soldiers wear shemagh?
The shemagh (pronounced "schmog") – also called a keffiyeh and ghutrah – originated in the Middle East. They are a scarf-type wrap commonly found in arid regions to provide protection from direct sun exposure, as well to protect the mouth and eyes from blown dust and sand.
Is a shemagh religious?
The Shemagh is the Scarf which is worn by Arabic as well as other Muslim people who belong to other countries in terms of identity. It has multiple symbolic features which denote the religious as well as socio-political representation.
What does a black shemagh mean?
The black and white chequered keffiyeh has become a symbol of Palestinian nationalism, dating back to the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. Outside of the Middle East and North Africa, the keffiyeh first gained popularity among activists supporting the Palestinians in the conflict with Israel.
Why do special forces wear watches upside down?
A way to reduce noise and acquire noise discipline. Moreover, wearing gloves and watch at the same time might hurt your wrist unless you wear it upside down .
Why do special forces not wear helmets?
They just don't wear them because of the way they operate. They usually keep them in their backpacks because when they have to reach a target via land infiltration, they have to move great distances and pass unnoticed. A helmet is a liability due to its shape and weight.

Why do special forces wear balaclavas?
They wore balaclavas to hide their identities and avoid retribution from the IRA and the like. From there it spread to other units in other countries. The balaclavas not only hide the troopers' identities, it also make them look dangerous and intimidating. Thus giving them a bit more edge in any firefight.
What does shemagh mean?
shemagh (plural shemaghs ) A headcloth designed for a desert environment to protect the wearer from sand and heat.
Can a woman wear a shemagh?
Take a look around and you would find many women learning how to tie a shemagh and wearing it better than the men too. A shemagh is a fabric draped around the contours of the neck and the full face, barring the eyes. And it can be draped in various creative ways, thanks to its length.
What do Navy Seals wear around their necks?
The purpose of anti-flash gear is to provide protection to the head, neck , face and hands from short-duration flame exposure and heat. This equipment is donned by shipboard navy personnel whenever a fire breaks out or during periods of heightened readiness.
Is a keffiyeh religious?
Yasser Arafat wore a keffiyeh to show Palestinian solidarity. So it has no particular religious symbolism related to the Islamic faith , which dates back to the 600s.

BkiUdyTxK0iCl4YJn5fE | Podoconiosis or "Podo" is a non-filarial form of foot elephantiasis that affects the poorest of the poor. It is caused by direct contact with the soil and therefore can be prevented by wearing shoes. It is primarily found in rural Ethiopia because of the extreme poverty and the high concentration of volcanic ash in the soil. Silica in this volcanic ash microscopically cuts the foot and eventually disrupts the lymph flow, resulting in lymphedema. Many people in the affected regions cannot afford shoes and many do not understand the importance of wearing them. The local people neglect education on the true cause of Podo because they hold strongly to their traditional beliefs that it is directly correlated with the persons favor with God. Tropical Health Alliance Foundation (THAF) is a foundation that funds clinics in Ethiopia to fight against Podo. THAF not only focuses on the education, treatment and prevention of Podo, but also financially supports the local clinics with fighting other health issues such as fistulas, uterus prolapses, cataracts, and polio. TOMS provides shoes to children at risk of Podo, however this does not serve as a solution but rather a temporary fix. To eradicate the disease awareness of the cause must be spread, a cultural importance must be placed upon wearing shoes and a constant supply of shoes must be provided.

BkiUeLvxK19JmhArEY1A | Getting Things Done (abreviado como GTD) é um método de gerenciamento de ações que dá nome ao livro de David Allen. No Brasil este livro foi inicialmente lançado em 2001 com o título "Produtividade Pessoal - A arte da produtividade sem stress". Em 2005 o livro foi relançado com o título "A Arte de Fazer Acontecer - Uma Fórmula Anti-stress para Estabelecer Prioridades e Entregar Soluções no Prazo" (ISBN 13 978-85-352-1908-1); (ISBN 85-352-1908-0), 2001-2005; edição original (ISBN 0-670-89924-0).
Getting Things Done é também o título de outros dois livros sobre gerência do tempo, dos autores Edwin C. Bliss e Malcolm Hancock (ISBN 0-553-25848-6), 1976, e Roger Black (ISBN 0-7181-2842-7), 1990.
O GTD se baseia no princípio de que uma pessoa precisa tirar as tarefas de sua mente e registrá-las em algum lugar. Desta forma, a mente fica livre do trabalho de lembrar de tudo o que necessita ser feito e pode se concentrar em realmente executar essas tarefas.
Em 2005, a Wired chamou o GTD de "um novo culto para a era da informação".
Sobre o GTD
Get things done é a metodologia empírica sextamologicamente proposta para alívio da dita "memória RAM" do cérebro, onde lacunas, incompletudes, por fazeres, responsabilidades e outros preocupantes ocupam reiteradamente o foco e a atenção do usuário desta ferramenta. O alívio deste núcleo de atenção, cujos atrasados surgem insistentemente na memória, acarretando culpa e consequente mal estar do praticante.
O alívio por registro (manuscrito, gravação de voz, eletrônico) é a tarefa principal, além na disciplina do cumprimento dos 5 estágios da produtividade (coleção, processamento, organização, execução e revisão periódica), todos os itens estão no estágio executivo, porém a efetividade se conquista no implemento pleno das 5 etapas.
Um destaque para o foco em atividades 'um dia/talvez', que não exclui os desejáveis da dinâmica de projetar atividades e cumpri-las passo a passo, que é onde a energia empregada no sistema dará sua resultante, listas sistematizadas do que fazer, passo a passo, não atrasar ou perder compromissos e entregáveis.
Ao contrário de outros especialistas em gerência do tempo, David Allen não dá ênfase à priorização das tarefas. Em vez disso, ele prega a criação de listas de tarefas que são específicas a um contexto. Por exemplo, a criação de uma lista de ligações telefônicas a fazer ou de tarefas a serem feitas no computador (orientando a tarefa ao contexto). Ele também sugere que toda nova tarefa que possa ser executada em menos de dois minutos deve ser realizada imediatamente (existem aplicativos de suporte a este método para smartphones).
A psicologia do GTD baseia-se em tornar fácil e divertido o arquivamento, busca e recuperação de todas as informações relacionadas às tarefas que você precisa fazer. Allen sugere que muitos dos bloqueios mentais que temos para realizar algumas atividades são causados por uma insuficiência de planejamento inicial. Por exemplo, para cada projeto é necessário estabelecer inicialmente o que se quer obter quando se terminar o projeto e quais ações específicas são necessárias para se atingir esse objetivo. De acordo com Allen, é muito mais prático pensar em tudo isso antes de iniciar o projeto e gerar a lista de ações que serão necessárias para que mais tarde possamos executá-las sem maiores planejamentos.

Sevilla FC inks partnership extension with TLCBet
The betting platform will be providing more access to exclusive content, offers, and experiences to the Spanish club.
By Soumik Thakur
Sevilla FC has renewed its ongoing partnership with TLCBet, following which the betting company will continue to hold the title of official Asia betting partner of the Spanish club. With the continuation of this partnership, Sevilla FC looks to improve its internalisation, especially in the Asian market. TLCBet has maintained a good profile in fan management with its robust acquisition and retention rates, which will be helping the Spanish club a lot.
Moving further, the betting platform will be providing more access to exclusive content, offers, and experiences to the Spanish club. While in current and future campaigns, both the entities aim to achieve a greater engagement across the whole consumer market in Asia.
Sevilla will also try to expand its presence in the Far East and China with this renewal of partnership. While doing so the Spanish side will be using the club's global social media accounts, Weibo and Wechat.
Speaking on the occasion, A spokesperson for TLCBet said: "We're thrilled to bolster our ongoing association with one of the most decorated European sides of recent times in Sevilla FC. Working alongside a club that boasts such a track record of sustained success at the elite level underscores our ongoing commitment to the growing Spanish LaLiga followers. We can't wait to witness the club scaling greater heights in both La Liga and on the European stage throughout 2021/22 and beyond."
Adding to it, Jorge Paradela, General Business Manager at Sevilla FC, added: "In keeping with Sevilla FC's grand project of international growth, it's vital for us to couple our brand with growing, innovative companies like TLCBet. This enduring Asia Betting Partner deal marks another important step for our club and another key building block internationally, even against the challenging economic backdrop which is facing many elite clubs across the planet."
Sevilla FC is currently sitting third in the La Liga table, collecting 28 points from their last 13 league games. While their next fixture is against the Spanish giants Real Madrid on November 29.

A mechanical button will be used instead of touch control.
Through continuous testing of our prototype, we have concluded that it is in the best interest of our backers and future users if we use a mechanical button on Rayo instead of a touch control. A touch control system provides a seamless and minimal interface, but it lacks the robustness when operated in the harsh conditions in which Rayo may be exposed.
On the other hand, a mechanical button operates more robustly and is more intuitive. One thing that is of concern is the design of the physical button. Our product designers will do everything to keep Rayo looking great as it is supposed to be. We will provide rendered images of the new mechanical button design as soon as it is ready.
A 1,000 mAh battery will be used instead of a 1,200 mAh. However, an upgraded LED circuitry will be implemented which increases energy efficiency. This sums to (at least) a 4% increase in runtime. Check the update section for specific runtimes.
Rayo now officially supports aero seatposts.
Rayo will come with a standard-seatpost-compatible silicon back that is interchangeable with an aero seatpost adaptor. We will provide the additional aero seatpost adaptor (plus a longer strap) for backers who need them, free of charge. We will ask whether you want the aero seatpost adaptor while surveying for color options after the end of the campaign.
Nick Drombosky is the founder of Banker Supply, a bike store located in Echo Park, LA.
Chris Reynolds is the Director and Publisher of Bicyclist: SoCal & Beyond: a social enterprise promoting bicycle riding for sport, activity, and transportation.
Rayo is a bicycle tail-light designed for the modern cyclist. Equipped with ultra-bright LEDs, engineered optics, motion detection, and bluetooth connectivity features, Rayo's functionalities not only boost your riding safety, but also make your riding experience more convenient, entertaining, and seamless.
Rayo comes in five appealing and unique colors to make you and your bike look better than ever. You love your bike. Give it what it deserves.
Rayo uses specifically designed total internal reflection (TIR) lenses to direct and focus light emitted by LEDs. The combination of three LEDs and two TIR lenses with different specifications enhances visibility from both the rear and the sides.
Upon braking, Rayo will detect that you are slowing down and will automatically trigger a brake light, warning traffic behind you. At the core of this feature is an algorithm that accurately tracks the movement of the bike, similar to what is integrated into modern drones.
The blinking patterns of each LED light in Rayo are user-configurable, allowing you to create the best signaling options depending on your riding style, traffic, and weather conditions. Future updates will include additional flashing patterns.
At a maximum of 90 lumens with specialized optics, Rayo is also daylight visible. Catch the attention of vehicles, other riders, and pedestrians, no matter what time of day it is.
Rayo's one-of-a-kind feature is group LED synchronization. Rayo can synchronize flashing patterns with nearby Rayo lights, making you and fellow riders stand out as a group. Synchronization takes effect without the hassle of manually pairing devices.
Rayo offers a theft alert feature that notifies you through the Rayo mobile app when unfamiliar movement is detected on your bike. Now, take that break without worrying about whether or not your bike is being tampered with.
Rayo's mobile app allows you to configure Rayo's many features intuitively. Using Bluetooth Low Energy, connecting Rayo to your smartphone is fast and simple.
All of Rayo's features come sealed within an IP67 waterproof body. Touch control has been seamlessly integrated to make Rayo effortless to operate. A built-in USB port makes Rayo rechargeable at home, in the office, and from external power banks.
Generic tail-lights only use a single LED light with visibility from the rear but diminished visibility on the sides. Rayo has three LED lights, each with a different purpose. One illuminates the sides while the other two form a tighter beam to be seen better from the rear. Such a system ultimately achieves balanced visibility from the rear and both sides.
Most tail-lights have preconfigured flashing modes, and you are stuck with them, forever. Some modes never get used, and the lights may not have the exact pattern you would like. Rayo lets you fully customize the flashing patterns according to your riding conditions. Once configured, you can select the flashing pattern you need, with just a tap at the touch control.
If you have ever shopped for a bicycle tail-light and was disappointed finding that most of them look rather out-of-date, Rayo is just for you. Rayo's award-winning design offers a minimalistic and sleek look and with five distinct colors to match your style.
Our goal with Rayo is to provide safety to cyclists by integrating advanced sensors and communication technologies into an elegant design. As engineers and cyclists, we have spent endless hours designing, developing, and improving Rayo ever since the first sketch. Positive feedback and interest from numerous exhibitions have driven us throughout our course, and we will continuously strive to satisfy our supporters and backers by successfully developing Rayo - the ultimate bicycle tail-light.
We currently have a functional prototype of Rayo that is ready for mass production. However, we are aware that there may be necessary changes to meet manufacturing requirements. Our policy is to make sure that our backers are continuously informed of any updates or changes. We plan to keep our campaign as transparent as possible, and we also promise to do our best to overcome any challenges we encounter on the way. We are looking forward to the day we deliver Rayo to the hands of our cycling-loving backers. Until then, ride safe!
If you like Rayo and would like to give us a little boost to help us on our way, every dollar is appreciated! Thank you for visiting our page and showing your support.

BkiUdOo5qoYAttXCyuRJ | To save you additional reading time, here's the link to the Clemson Invitational Precap article.
That's the set-up. How'd it go?
Well, not that well, actually. Their team score of 298 (+10) put them in a tie for 10th place with host Clemson. This was really a tale of two nine's: the front nine was played very well and the back nine not that well. After their first nine holes, the Buckeyes were +3 to par and if I recall, tied for 4th place. On their back nine, they slipped to +7 to par and ended in T-10.
The Buckeyes were led by Jessica Porvasnik's 70 (-2) and Zoe-Beth Brake's 74 (+2). Niki Schroeder, Jaclyn Lee and Katja Pogacar all shot 77 (+5).
Competing as an Individual, Rio Watanabe shot a 76 (+4). She stumbled with a double bogey on her 2nd hole, but recovered to play the next 16 holes in +2 to par. She did card 2 birdies and 11 pars for the round. This was solid play by Rio; well done.
Note: the scoring stats in the following two paragraphs are for team play only. Individual play scores are not included.
For the day, Ohio State has played the par 3's to an average of 3.15 strokes, +3 to par, which ranked them T-4 in that category. They've played the par-4's to 4.24, +12 to par, ranking T-10. The par 5's were played to an even par 5.00, ranking them T-6.
Ohio State carded 61 pars, ranking them T-4th in this metric. Their 8 birdies ranked them 12th in that measure.
Jessica absolutely had this round under control. Her 4 birdies were half the team total and she supplemented them with 12 pars. No doubt that Jessica was hitting everything on the 3rd groove, much as Ben Hogan sought to. Her score has her sitting T-4th position (94 players) after the first round.
Jaclyn had a well played front 9; 8 pars and 1 bogey. However, her back nine was pretty pedestrian (by her standards) with 5 par and 4 bogeys. Through 14 holes, Jaclyn was +2, then she strung together 3 bogeys before closing with a par. It just wasn't a "Jaclyn" round.
Katja's round was a mirror image of Jaclyn's. Four pars/5 bogeys on her front nine then 8 par and 1 bogey on her homeward nine. Again. like Jaclyn's play, the game was just off by the tiniest degree.
Niki had a well played front 9 (2 birdies-2 bogeys to make the turn at even par; so far, so good. Things went sideways a bit on the back nine with 3 bogeys and a double bogey. Niki did close with 2 pars, so she did stabilize the round a bit.
Zoe-Beth has been putting together some quality rounds lately and Friday was a continuation of her good play. She opened with 8 consecutive pars before stumbling with a double bogey on the 9th hole. However, Zoe-Beth put together 2 birdies-2 bogeys for a well played even par back 9.
Rio struggled early (+3 after 4 holes) before she found her rhythm. Rio carded 2 birdies and 11 pars; she had quite a few 'good' holes on her scorecard.
The par-3 play was significantly improved from their previous outing. Somewhat ironically, three of the four par-3's are all similar in length (160-166 yds) and OSU played them well. The short (131 yd) par-3 16th gave them issues. However, when you look at the hole, the green, and green-side bunkers are oriented almost 90 degrees to the "lay of the land". It's a very odd hole.
The par 4 scoring was almost the same as in their previous tournament. They seem to be settling in to a +.25 strokes to par in their last few rounds. They are averaging parring 3 of every 4 par-4s they play.
The par-5 scoring was solid. All the par-5s are moderately long and very tight. If you look down the fairway from the tee box, all you see is a corridor of trees.
Jaclyn's and Katja's rounds were odd; neither of them recorded a birdie. I don't think it will take too much for either/both these young ladies to roll in some birdies on Saturday.
Zoe-Beth continued her high quality of play. Although she had a double bogey, her other 17 holes were played in even par. Of 4 1/2 hours of play, Zoe-Beth was on-point for nearly all of it.
I think that Ohio State will get their games in sync for Saturday – look for a move up the leaderboard. There are nine teams in front of them. I can see them jumping four teams Saturday.
Round two is Saturday. Please check back for tomorrow's play recap. Scheduled first round tee times for OSU were at 11:00 am. Saturday's scheduled round is 9:30 am. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUd5U4eIOjRy7MQ8OG | Some interesting stats have been released over the last few weeks - all of which could have an effect on your business. Most of us understand the enormous impact that technology has had on businesses, and it's no different in the world of online marketing. So, grab a coffee, put your feet up and have a read. And then make sure you are best placed for taking advantage in the very near future!
British consumer agency Ofcom recently released a study that show that Internet use is on the up. The results show that UK Internet users are spending more than twice as long online as they were only ten years ago. Also, that the use of smartphones could be responsible. So, if you are an online business, are your web properties optimized for mobile? If not, you could be losing out on a lot of 'airtime'. It's a clear sign that thing are changing when it comes to how consumers are accessing their media. Smart businesses have been making their websites mobile-friendly for some years now, so if it is something that you haven't managed to get around to yet, it is vital you do so. And sooner, rather than later!
If you run any social media channels, there's a good chance that you have responded to a customer complaint. According to a study by The Institute of Customer Service, a quarter of all social media users, has used the medium to make a complaint. With this in mind, it's a wise idea that you have a robust response plan in place. However, there are different ways to use customer complaints. There will always be moaners and whingers, but many of the people questioned in the survey felt that they were just offering constructive advice. So, it's also worth using your feedback - positive or negative - to explore areas of your business that could do with improving.
A recent survey by SoDA has revealed that although many brands are building bigger in-house marketing teams, outsourcing is still relevant. However, the terms of engagement are changing slightly. The report suggests that those brands that outsource will often choose a digital agency and use them as a lead partner, rather than just a hired service. Is this something your agency could do with exploring? What it shows is that if you can prove your worth to the major brands, they will reward you with long-term contracts. In effect, you will 'own' part of their digital marketing, and be judged on your results. So, if you are having trouble showing your worth, it could be time to explore how to persuade your company's value in more financial terms.
Online marketing is a constantly evolving world. And you have to stay ahead of the game if you want to be at your best. Hopefully, these statistics will help you make the right moves. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

Dena Krupinsky makes Hollywood dreams reality as Turner Classic Movies producer

Whether you're a regular or occasional visitor to this blog you have by now probably noticed that I like to write about Nebraskans in Film. That is a function of my being a Nebraskan, a film buff who just happens to be a journalist. Naturally, I seek every opportunity I can find to write about fellow natives of this place who have and are doing great things in the world of cinema. It's not only filmmakers and actors I profile either. You'll find pieces about many different aspects of the industry as well as about people who don't make films but instead showcase them for our entertainment and education. Take the subject of this profile, Dena Krupinsky, for example. When I wrote this article seven or eight years ago she was a producer at Turner Classic Movies in Atlanta, where she was one of the key figures behind those Private Screenings Q&A's that host Robert Osborne does with legends. It was a dream job for her because she's been in love with the movies for as long as she can remember and that gig put her in close contact with some of the biggest names in Hollywood history. She's since moved on to teach at a university but her cinema obsession remains intact. I too have had the distinct pleasure of interviewing and in some cases meeting Hollywood royalty, past and present, including Robert Wise, Patricia Neal, Debbie Rynolds, Robert Duvall, James Caan, Danny Glover. I am hoping for an interview with Jane Fonda in the near future because she's coming to Omaha for a July program at Film Streams that will have Alexander Payne interview her live on stage. Of course, Payne is someone I've interviewed dozens of times over the years and because of that relationship I've had the chance to interview Laura Dern, Matthew Broderick, Paul Giamatti, Thomas Haden Church, Sandra Oh, Virginia Madsen, producers Michael London, Albert Berger, and Jim Burke, screenwriter Jim Taylor, and cinematographer Phedon Papamichael.

For most of us, childhood dreams remain just that — the unfulfilled musings of our starry-eyed youth. But for Omaha native Dena Krupinsky, an associate director with Turner Classic Movies (TCM) in Atlanta, her long-harbored fantasy of working with Hollywood greats has become reality. Since joining TCM in 1994, the year the national cable network launched, Krupinsky has produced dozens of special programs featuring stars and other notables from Hollywood's Golden Age. Even a cursory glance at her producing credits reveals a Who's-Who of movie royalty she has worked with — from Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, Tony Curtis, James Garner and Rod Steiger to June Allyson, Leslie Caron and Liza Minnelli.
Whether in a digital editing suite or in a sound recording booth or in a television studio, she gets on intimate terms with some of the very luminaries she's idolized. She might be producing a Private Screenings session in which James Garner recalls his career or she might be pruning a feature with Liza Minnelli discussing her father and his films or she might be recording a voice-over track in which Carol Burnett pays homage to Lucille Ball. "Do I wake up in the morning excited to go to work? Yeah," Krupinsky said. "I feel like I'm doing exactly what I knew I'd be doing. It is a dream come true." She has, in the course of putting together various programs, met dozens of Hollywood legends as well as many more obscure but no less significant film industry professionals. "I do feel lucky meeting these people. They were part of that Old Hollywood, which was an exclusive, elite world. And now that I'm part of it, I'm so excited. When I watch the Oscars I'll see these people up there and go, 'Yeah, know him, met him. Nice guy.'" That goes for screenwriter Ernest Lehman, a 2001 honorary Oscar recipient whom Krupinsky met while taping a program in which Lehman discussed how scenes from his script for North By Northwest were brought to inspired life by director Alfred Hitchcock.
Somehow, even as a little girl, Krupinsky knew she was destined to work in film or television. Growing up in the Rockbrook Park neighborhood, she was the oddball kid on her block who much preferred watching TV hour upon hour to playing outside with her friends. So enamored was she with whatever the magic box displayed that she would kvetch with her mother for extra viewing privileges. Although her parents, Jean Ann and Jerry Krupinsky, could not then see how such a steady diet of old movies, sitcoms, dramas, game shows, variety shows, soap operas and commercials could possibly benefit their daughter, it undoubtedtly has — embuing in her a deep affinity for popular entertainment that, if not a prerequisite for working at TCM, certainly helps. "It does. It definitely does," said the perky Krupinsky during a June visit to Omaha for her 20th high school class reunion. She is a 1981 graduate of Westside High School and a former student at Temple Israel Synagogue. "I just always loved television and movies and I've just always known I wanted to be in them."
During her recent visit from her home in Decatur, GA., a community near Atlanta, where she works, Krupinsky, who is single, wore a bright red dress that matched the burning intensity she has for her job. That job entails producing segments for the network's (Channel 55 on Cox) Private Screenings, Star of the Month, Director of the Month and Spotlight features as well as producing special projects related to individual films, figures or themes, such as a new half-hour documentary, Memories of Oz, which has been well-reviewed in the national press for its informative and fun take on the making of The Wizard of Oz. She has worked with everyone from impish Mickey Rooney to serious method actor Rod Steiger and tackled themes from Religion in the Movies to the Art of the Con. Her work has been recognized in the industry with Telly awards for Private Screenings segments on Tony Curtis and Leslie Caron. a 1999 Gracie Allen Award for a Carol Burnett On Lucille Ball special and the 21st Annual American Women in Radio and Television Award for a series of interstitials (promotional links) on women in film.
Many of the stars that Krupinsky, a graduate of the prestigious University of Missouri School of Journalism, has worked with have since passed away, most recently Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. A Private Screenings installment she did with Lemmon and Matthau remains one of her favorites, if for no other reason than she was enchanted with the man who originated the role of Oscar Madison on stage and on screen. "That was something that I loved to do. Walter Matthau was the greatest, funniest guy I ever met. I loved him. At one point, I was walking with him to show him where the Green Room is and he grabbed my hand. He was so sweet. He called me Charlotte the whole time. I'd be like, 'No, it's Dena.' And he'd go, 'No, no, I had a girlfriend named Charlotte, and you're just like her.' When he died I remembered this line he said that I loved during our taping session: 'Dear, oh dear, I have a queer feeling they'll be a strange face in heaven in the morning.' And I thought of him and that line. Bless his heart." Krupinsky invited her parents to attend the Lemmon-Matthau taping. She said she often tries sharing her Insider's position with less experienced co-workers by letting them listen in on phone interviews. "I always like to have people listen because it's too great a learning experience not to have your co-workers there."
On one occasion, Krupinsky gathered a phalanx of Liza Minnelli fans in her office for a scheduled phone interview with the star only to have the diva surprise everyone by inviting the producer up to her place instead. "She said, 'I'd love it if you could come to my house — I really don't like to do phone interviews.' And I was like, 'Well, Liza, I'm in Atlanta and you're in New York.' She goes, 'I'll fly you up.' So, I checked with my bosses and they said, 'Go for it.' I went to her house in New York and hanging on the walls were these big Andy Warhol prints — one of her, one of her mother and one of her father. Staring at those prints reminded me I was with a member of Hollywood royalty, and that her mother really was Judy Garland and her father really was Vincente Minnelli. She was as easy as an old friend, but I was in awe the whole time. It was great."
Dena Krupinski
Not at all jaded even after hobnobbing with scores of celebrities, the star struck Krupinsky said she still gets butterflies every time she meets one. "I'm always a little nervous, but the minute they start talking you kind of forget you're scared."
She said the stars are real troopers who go out of their way to make her and her colleagues feel comfortable being around them. "So far, they've all been so easy to work with and I think it's because they want to tell their stories. They're proud. They don't do it for the money. They do it because they want to do it." She said stars are put through their paces on a typical Private Screenings production day, which entails a three to three-and-a-half hour taping session, promotional intros and press interviews. "It's an exhausting process, but never have we had problems. I've never had anyone complaining that it's taking too long or demanding star treatment. They're totally professional. When we bring them on to the set, they're not worried or anxious. They just say, 'I got it. I know what to do.' And they love it. I feel like they have as much fun with us as we do with them. I mean, they even sit with the crew and eat lunch."
With stars flying in to Atlanta for the tapings, opportunities abound for Krupinsky to hang with the screen legends. "We usually take them out to dinner the night before. Tony Curtis, whom we've worked with a lot, came with his wife Jill. We took them to dinner and shopping. Tony is a lot of fun. This is a guy who doesn't want to rest. He wants to go out at night. He has fun with his celebrity. He gladly signs autographs." Following a Private Screenings session with Best Actor Oscar winner Rod Steiger, Krupinsky was asked to escort the actor to a Florida film festival in his honor and she witnessed first-hand the respect and adulation audiences feel for this "very intense and very passionate" man.
One of the toughest parts of her job, she said, is trying to whittle down the star interviews from several hours to the one hour or less allotted for airing. For several months now she has been working on the edit for an August 2 scheduled James Garner Private Screenings segment. "James Garner's has been one of the hardest to cut because he told so many good stories. I cut and cut on paper first and when I went to edit I thought for sure I'd be fine but it was still too long. Cutting stories is the hardest part. Editing is a long process." In preparing to tape a Private Screenings or to produce a special project like the Memories of Oz documentary, Krupinsky immerses herself in the project, gathering and reviewing reams of materials on the subject, including published interviews, biographies, tapes of movies and archival photos, with the help of staff researchers. "I become totally absorbed in my subject. For three months I can tell you everything about Tony Curtis or James Garner because I study them and I learn about these guys. I'll know everything — dates, times, movies — you name it. But then once a project's done that information goes away as I move on to the next one. The thing I love about my job is that I'm learning all the time. I feel like I'm still in school. It's like having advanced film classes with experts talking about how they approach screenwriting or directing or acting."
Krupinsky followed a logical route to TCM, working in local television promotion before graduating to the network level. Once out of college — and with her sights dead set on a career in TV — she took an entry-level job, as a secretary, at CBS affiliate WAGA-TV in Atlanta, where she was soon promoted to associate producer status — developing image campaigns and teasers for the station's news and entertainment divisions. Even with the new position, she said, it was hard to get by on her small salary. "I was broke. I ate a lot at Taco Bell." After a brief stint with a station in Knoxville, TN, she landed a spot as a writer-producer with Turner Network Television Latin America, which equaled a step-up on her career path but which also presented a dead-end since she did not speak a word of Spanish or Portugese. Then, in 1994, she heard about the formation of TCM and promptly applied for and won her current post. When she began at TCM, media mogul Ted Turner was still taking a hands-on approach with the fledgling network unlike today, when various mergers have taken Ted's folksy presence out of the picture and replaced it with corporate suits. "Ted would always come by. One day, we had a meeting with him and he was wearing a cartoon tie and he was just hilarious," she recalled. "Other times, he'd walk by the office and say, 'Hey guys, what are you doing?' Everyone who worked for Ted has this feeling for him because he did a great job. Thank God I was there for that regime."
Before joining the ranks of film buffs and cinephiles at TCM, Krupinsky acknowledges she was a bit out-of-step with her workmates because even though she loved movies, she lacked a deep knowledge of their history and lore. As an example, she points to Warner Brothers tough guy John Garfield, someone she was assigned to do a feature piece on and knew next to nothing about. "Before I did John Garfield I didn't know who he was to be honest. I told my mom who I was profiling and she said, 'Oh, John Garfield, he's great. You'll fall in love with him.' I said, I will?' And sure, enough, I did. You almost fall in love with all these people."
The Garfield project led Krupinsky to the late actor's daughter Julie Garfield, an actress, who provided personal insights into the man, and to former director Vincent Sherman, who directed Garfield in the 1943 drama Saturday's Children and who worked with many other Warners greats in the 1930s and '40s. Krupinsky played matchmaker of sorts when she arranged for the two to meet. "I brought Julie and Vincent together for lunch and it was great to sit back and let him tell her stories about her dad that she didn't know. I was kind of proud myself because I brought these two together." Krupinsky feels privileged getting the inside scoop from veterans like Sherman, who at 95, is one of the last surviving directors from Hollywood's classic studio era. Sherman knew everyone on the Warners lot and hearing him talk about the old days and the old stars is like getting the Holy Scripture from the prophet himself. "I had lunch with him and he was telling me stories about Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, and I'm sitting there thinking, 'Oh, God, I'm sitting here with a man who worked with these legends.' I mean, it is very cool. Vincent's become a friend of our network's."
A large part of her producing chores involves developing scripts, which generally include narration read by a star or stars who have some relationship with or enthusiasm for the subject. For example, to promote a month-long salute to the late producer-director Stanley Kramer, Krupinsky hit upon the idea of having comic Jonathan Winters, who appeared in Kramer's It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, wax nostalgic about the filmmaker, with whom he was quite close. She interviewed Winters by phone and developed a script from his comments that adhered very closely to his own words. The resulting Winters' salute was a surprisingly sober, reflective and personal reminiscence. When it comes time for the star to record the narration, as in the case of Winters, leeway is given for the star to go off-script and improvise. "They'll paraphrase and add their own little things," Krupinsky said, "and so it almost sounds like it's off-the-cuff, and a lot of times it is."
Among new and proposed projects, Krupinsky is now brainstorming ideas to promote TCM's scheduled Coming of Age theme in October. She would like to get a Matt Dillon or Diane Lane or Reese Witherspoon to host the Coming of Age festival. Another idea she has is to get Dustin Hoffman alone or as part of a reunion of the cast of The Graduate. Other projects she would like to see happen range from a special on the Marx Brothers (she recently interviewed Carl Reiner on that comedy team) to Private Screenings segments with Shirley MacLaine, Elizabeth Taylor, James Coburn and Jerry Lewis. She is also busy thinking of some project that would be a good fit for Steve Martin to host/narrate.
Pitching projects is part of what Krupinsky or any producer does. She feels fortunate having superiors who value her input. "The cool part about my job is that as producers we have a lot to say. It's not like, 'Hey, Dena, your next assignment is…' It's more like, 'Hey, Dena, here's the programming we're thinking of doing and we want you to come up with ideas.' I can come back and say, 'Let's try this,' and they'll say yes or no, but a lot of times they say yes. That's why I love my job. Like the Lemmon-Matthau Private Screenings. That was mine. I wanted to do something on comedy teams and I thought of Lemmon-Matthau and I did it. And the cool thing is you get to do this stuff with people you've always admired and wanted to meet."
For now, Krupinsky is content at TCM, but she can see herself moving on, perhaps to produce feature-length documentaries. "I think about it all the time and I do feel like I am making a slow progression towards it. I'm doing great stuff now but I always feel like there's something else I could be doing out there. I don't want to ever get away from this work. Even if I moved on I still want something to do with Older Hollywood. Right now, though, I'm happy where I am."

BkiUaurxK6Ot9Pm3tE3N | No matter the time of year, there's perhaps no other treat as universally appreciated as a delicious ice cream. Of course, in the summer, ice cream seems to be even more popular.
Fruit sorbets, in particular, are widely sought after in hot weather. They are refreshing, and who said they can't be healthy? These ice cream shops in Lisbon use only natural flavours and ingredients, some organic and vegan, and sell only artisanal ice cream.
Served in cone, cup or glass, in different flavours, fruity or otherwise, here are five ice cream parlours at which to indulge in Lisbon.
Considered by many the best ice cream, Santini was founded in 1949 in Cascais. Almost seventy years later, it has several ice cream shops, four of which in Lisbon. We recommend the fruity flavours, even if you're a chocolate and hazelnut type of person. They're usually intense and delicious. The only downside to this place? The line may be long, but it's worth it, and it usually moves relatively fast.
Tucked away from Chiado's hustle and bustle, Sorbettini offers vegan ice cream with no additives, all made in-house. There are about sixteen different flavours, some vary daily. A medium order can get you 3 flavours. Valrhona chocolate, pistachio, raspberry, coconut, mango and salted caramel are all heavenly.
Indulge with an Italian-style artisanal gelato at Davvero, owned by an Italian living in Lisbon for over ten years. Look out for a changing menu, paired with some constant flavours (nocciolina – peanut, fragola – strawberry, vaniglia – vanilla, fico – fig, or mandorla – almond). You can ask for some cream on top too. The portions are generous, and a great value for money.
Gelatommy is a tiny ice cream shop in Bairro Alto serving delicious artisanal Sicilian gelato. With a vast selection of flavours, you won't be sorry if you ask for the lemon and basil, the mango, or the authentic Portuguese flavours such as pastel de nata or cinnamon.
Amorino is a gelato chain that serves Italian-style ice cream in locations all over the world. In Lisbon, you'll find a few Amorino too. Choose from over a dozen flavours ("as many as you want", according to their motto). Amorino shops serve a few original flavours, and some use organic ingredients, such as the Organic Sicilian Citrus and the Sorbetto al Cioccolato Bio. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

SI2020 Group Stage Results
SI2020 Playoffs Schedule and Predictions
Did you know: the upper bracket winner will have a 1 map advantage in the Grand Final
Six Invitational 2020 Group Stage Review ⚡⚡⚡ Esports news, analytics, reviews on WePlay! The latest news on WePlay!
Montreal, Canada. The largest Rainbow Six Siege tournament named Six Invitational 2020 has started! Moreover, the closed Group Stage is over, and on February 11-12, we're seeing closed playoffs to decide to best teams in the world. ESL and Ubisoft did a great job of organizing the tournament and supporting it from all sides.
Rainbow Six Siege's main tournament of the year was just meant to be crazy. With R6 pro-scene developing rapidly in the past few years, the game's Year 4 is ending in quite a sublime way.
The community was shocked by the fact that Team Empire has left Six Invitational 2020 after not making it through the Group Stage. The Russian team fought well against Fnatic in the first match, but then, unfortunately, lost to DarkZero Esports and so had to play a decider against Fnatic again. This time the Australians managed to take revenge and proceeded to the next stage.
The odds were all about Team Empire winning SI2020, but you never know. Now, without the main contender, we can say that Team SoloMid and Team Liquid are the favorites. The North American TSM roster has won DreamHack Montreal this season and shown great play throughout the year — these are the main reasons why people put them second, right after Team Empire. And the Brazilians from Team Liquid are deservingly among the highly rated squads too — OGA Pit Season 3 and Brasileirao 2019 winners, as well as top-three finishes at DreamHack Montreal.
The third team which can make it is Spacestation Gaming — the boys are playing very confident not only at SI2020 but the whole season. Still, sometimes it seems like they just don't get enough luck or lose themselves in the final moment. SSG has won United States Nationals 2019 and got silverware at OGA Pit Season 3 and Pro League Season 9.
Any Jokers?
Don't forget about G2 Esports, Six Invitational 2019 winners, who were directly invited to the tournament by Ubisoft. These guys may have not got to the tourney through blood and sweat, still, they are a hugely experienced team with great players and since at SI2020 we witness miracles, why G2 can't perform?
All in all, it's time for the playoffs. After the Group Stage, we have the following pairs of teams to fight each other on their ways to $3m and the title of the best Rainbow Six Siege team in the world. Let's add some predictions though.
Team SoloMid vs Ninjas in Pyjamas
Here we have quite an obvious outcome since TSM shown great play at the Group Stage (finishing second after a decider) and NiP, who did an excellent job and got to the playoffs as group winners. Still, we can't be so sure that TSM will drop their confidence here — they are the favorites and most likely will make it into the next stage.
G2 Esports vs Fnatic
The Team Who Beat The Favorites might sound scary but were Team Empire The Team Who Lost? We'll see if Fnatic can prove that they are worthy to be called that way. Speaking of G2, calm and positive group stage — but wait, they are the Jokers. A must-see match with a slight advantage for Fnatic.
Spacestation vs MIBR
This one is quite easy to predict as long as Spacestation Gaming is a very good team that can pass through the Brazilian roster almost lossless.
DarkZero Esports vs BDS
The match between these two teams is the second 'must-see' at the current stage because both teams are exceptional and both teams can surprise us with anything unusual — from complete failure to total domination. Still, DarkZero Esports have greater chances to progress into the next stage.
What will happen in the playoffs? We can't tell. There's always a place for miracles, ups and downs, 1v5 map deciding clutches and emotions. For sure, because it's the World Cup.
Rainbow Six Siege Invitational 2020 Playoffs start today, February 11th. The grand finals of the tournament will be held on February 16, BO5 format. Six Invitational 2020 Prize Pool is $3,000,000.

MASN to offer HD 'Overflow' Channel for Baseball
The expansion would allow the network to televise virtually every Orioles and Nats game live in HD through the 2010 season.
TVTechnology
MASN, the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, which has televised a portion of the 162 regular-season games of both the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles in HD in recent years, said it plans to launch an HD overflow channel next spring.
The expansion to MASN2-HD would allow the network to televise virtually every Orioles and Nats game live in HD through the 2010 season, according to the Web site dcrtv.com.
The expansion of HD coverage comes at a time of struggle for both clubs, which have among the worst records in recent years in their respective leagues. The Nats are in the National League; the Orioles are in the American League. In fact, Washington reportedly has the lowest TV ratings of any Major League Baseball franchise.
MASN believes a majority of its cable and satellite affiliates technically will be able to carry the overflow HD channel next season in the network's seven-state region. In 2010, MASN2-HD will carry 130 live games — with another 190 on MASN-HD. (That sum of 320 HD games would appear to leave a total of only four games unaccounted for among both teams.)
MASN Finally Growing HD Baseball Coverage
According to The Washington Post, which has seen an internal announcement MASN forwarded to cable providers in the Mid-Atlantic region, the affected games will be aired in 1080i starting in April.
Entire Fox Baseball Schedule to Air in HD
The All-Star Game, the midway point of the season, also will be aired in HD by Fox Sports from Yankee Stadium on Tuesday evening, July 15.

A beloved Houston cultural center is poised to receive a massive makeover and rejuvenation. The Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center, a central fixture of Houston's Jewish community known affectionately as "the JCC" or "the J," announced a $50 million renovation and expansion project of the current facility.
In order to create a destination experience and bustling community center, the renovations will include a family-centric aquatics complex, new culinary studio, and a dedicated fitness area amongst other additions and improvements. The project is set to break ground September 2020 and will follow a multi-phase rollout completion plan, according to a statement.
Construction will consist of 126,000 square feet towards a new facility and 27,000 square feet of renovations to the existing center. The new three-story state-of-the-art facility is designed by Gensler Architecture & Design and is comprised of enhanced features and a new building configuration. The general contractor is Tellepsen; The Mathis Group will oversee project management.
Thus far, the campaign has received enormous support and interest. As of February 2020, more than 80 families have invested in the next generation of the campus, with current donations totaling more than $36 million towards the total $50 million goal, according to the JCC.
"We are thrilled to share with the community our plans to reinvest in our existing campus and renew our commitment to the Meyerland area for decades to come," said Lauren Kaufman Blachman, board president of the JCC, in a statement.
"The enthusiasm from our donors and supporters of our capital campaign to date has been overwhelming, and thanks to their generosity and commitment to the J, we can now share that our renovation plans are becoming a reality."

Former Houston Texan J.J. Watt is apparently to be daydreaming about Houston's food scene.
Watt took to Twitter to give credit, where credit is due, to the city where thousands of fellow foodies reside.
"Houston is one of the most underrated food cities in the world," Watt said in a tweet.

BkiUbaPxK1yAga6JqPeS | Sure, the onset of April has annually gained Greater Palm Springs international renown as "Festival Season" in the desert.
With back-to-back weekends of the Coachella Music and Arts Festival (April 13-15 and 20-22, 2018) followed by Stagecoach (April 27-29, 2018) at Indio's Empire Polo Club, it's with yearly anticipation and much celebration that the valley welcomes tens of thousands of annual guests to enjoy some of the world's most popular acts.
But lest we forget alternate opportunities for desert play come April, which also presents premier timing to enjoy Greater Palm Springs' bounty of public golf courses amid a season with choice morning temps, lowered play rates and still-exceptional course conditions.
During the latter weekend of Coachella, players interested in the desert's golf oasis should be sure to check out the annual Desert Two Ball Challenge, held across three of the valley's most popular and celebrated Troon Golf-managed courses.
Played across April 20-22, 2018, the trio of Troon hosts are the Westin Mission Hills' Gary Player Signature Course (Friday, April 20), Classic Club (April 21) and the Players Course at Indian Wells Golf Resort (April 22).
The event's format is as follows: A Team Scramble on Day 1 (50 percent of handicap for Net Scores); Better Ball of Partners on Day 2 (100 percent of handicap for Net Scores); with the event concluded by a Shamble format on the third and final day (using 75 percent of Handicap for Net Scores).
Cost for the event is $598/team, and the tournament wraps-up with prizes for top teams in the Gross and Net Divisions (based on size of field).
"It's meant to be a fun tournament, and we want all sorts of people to play," says Michael Tebbetts, director of sales and marketing at Indian Wells Golf Resort. "And anybody who wants to team-up with anyone -- we try to do everything we can to accommodate; we have husbands and wives who want to play together, fathers and sons, mothers and sons. We've had all sorts of different combinations. And it's a great format because you're not having to post a score with your own ball, so it's a good warm-up for people who didn't get to play during the winter."
Shotgun tee times are scheduled at 8:00 a.m. each day to provide salve from potential heat, and the opportunity to swing at three of Greater Palm Springs' top courses at a great rate has seen the event steadily grow across its six years of play.
"The weather this time of year is still fantastic and the golf courses are still in terrific shape," says Greg Rubino, general manager at Classic Club. "Come mid-April, the rates start to change and the courses aren't quite as busy as we were in March; it's still an active time, but the courses are a bit more open."
With fields reaching 120 players, the Desert Two Ball has gained increased, year-by-year traction during a time when most visitors come to the valley for music.
"People have come to think of April as 'Festival Month' in the desert – which it is. But it's still a great time to be out playing golf," continues Rubino. "So we've tried to grab people's attention, bound together as Troon golf courses and put together a great event."
However popular the music festivals become, the desert's bounty of golf courses remains a year-round sport.
"With the advent of these big festivals, other travel leisure and travel can get pushed out in these times frames," Tebbetts concludes. "So, with dynamic pricing and then offering specials like this, it's trying to entice guests to still play golf, which has resulted in this tournament growing every year." | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdqw5qsJBjrwPoLQl | To deliver cell and gene therapies, pharma needs to spend more time with patients
By Anna Forbes | June 28 2022
While pharma companies engage with both healthcare professionals and patient groups to understand patients' needs, they mostly speak to healthcare professionals, limiting their understanding of the outcomes that matter most to patients. In recent years, there has been a trend towards patient centricity, which might seem like a no brainer, but patient input is still not routinely sought, and efforts often do not go beyond grand statements. A genuinely patient-centric approach would transform patient insights into actionable outcomes.
Cell and gene therapy delivery is particularly complex and requires a deep understanding of patients' needs
With personalized therapies like cell and gene therapies (CGTs), the patient journey is fundamentally different than traditional medicines. To successfully deliver CGTs, patients' needs must be well understood and addressed. Most CGTs are for rare, often misunderstood, diseases. In addition, patients take on significant risk, for example, having one gene therapy often means they will never be able to have another. Patients also commit time and money, often travelling long distances including across borders to specialist treatment centres. As for payers, evidence that meaningful and sustainable outcomes is achieved for patients is very much top of mind given CGT costs extend into the millions of dollars per patient.
'What really distinguishes treatments such as chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapies is that the patient is not just the recipient of a drug product. The patient is the product,' explains Marc Boutin, Global Head of Patient Engagement at Novartis. 'Patients are truly central to each and every activity as the patient's own cells are the starting material for all manufacturing processed and, after genetic modification, form the essence of the final material.'
'Beyond-the-pill' programs have been more successful when patients have been involved in their design
In cases where patient communities have not been consulted on 'beyond-the-pill' for CGT – that is the initiatives and services to improve access to therapy – there have been difficulties. In early 2020, Novartis launched a global managed access program to make its gene therapy Zolgensma available in countries where it had not received regulatory approval. Novartis failed to engage properly with the SMA patient advocacy community on the design of the program, and was subsequently criticized in the media, by patient groups and EU health ministers for exercising an unfair 'health lottery'.
Novartis has had more success when it has sought patient input. While devising a plan to implement widespread newborn screening for SMA, Novartis closely collaborated with rare disease advocacy organizations to better understand patients' needs and expectations. Its efforts have helped to bring newborn screening online across North America and Europe.
A recently launched documentary project by BioMarin looks particularly promising – production teams will travel to the hometowns of hemophilia patients to learn about the realities of living with a bleeding disorder. The relationships and understanding of patients' experiences should facilitate the development of pressure-tested and meaningful beyond-the-pill initiatives, supporting the expected launch of BioMarin's gene therapy ValRox for hemophilia.
Patients' insights should be systematically internalized for patient-driven decision-making
CGT companies leading the way are prioritizing the incorporation of patients' insights into drug discovery, development, and crucially, delivery. Astellas, which is developing multiple CGT platforms, is one to watch – it follows a patient focused medicine development (PFMD) approach, but adds an extra D, for delivery. In this way, Astellas involves patients in the delivery stage, therefore implementing services that address real patient challenges.
Patients' perspectives should not be sought simply during 'one off' consultations, but should be formally internalized via channels such as patient advisory boards. Systematically incorporating patients' voices into all design, processes and decisions should facilitate effective CGT delivery, taking a step towards facilitating access to these notoriously inaccessible therapies.

BkiUda85qsBDFq2tCN6i | THQ and SyFy Making Family Games + More!
Jonathan Ireson
February 12, 2010 11:11 AM EST
Today brings great rejoice for science-fiction fans and gamers alike. Today is the day that we see the leader in sci-fi entertainment online and broadcaster on television Syfy enter into a partnership with heavyweight in the game development and publishing industries THQ, and it will not be forgotten. With news of entirely new game concepts and intellectual properties on the way from this duo, we can expect lots of new franchises. The possibilities of Syfy's most provocative, deep, and entertaining ideas making their way in new form in the form of franchises that will likely breathe new life into the games and movie/tv industries.
With the imagination running wild from what could be included in the lineup of new franchises from this team, it is also apparent that THQ and Syfy are paying attention to growing family entertainment and casual game markets by launching the all-new Syfy Kids brand of family and casual video games. There is a strong possibility these games will be widely embraced. Does any gamer out there remember seeing the de Blob commercial and getting excited to play it, only to realize you don't have the right console? I wouldn't mind having some fun with games like de Blob for Nintendo Wii on my console! I'm sure fans of the series would also enjoy the expansion of the franchise with all-new installments, as well as the continued support of fan base.
Brilliantly enough Syfy and THQ are bringing de Blob to an even wider audience with cutting-edge innovations to launch Syfy Kids. The new brand Syfy Kids seeks to provoke the imagination in a subtle, positive, and often comedic manner. Games like de Blob allow the gamer to fill in much of the fantasy with their own imagination and set the stage for mostly innocent joyous thoughts. That is why families will have no problem picking up games like this and it's a great way to launch the brand. I am hopeful we can also look forward to Syfy games for the adult crowd coinciding with the Syfy Kids brand in some way or another.
For a lot of people out there, including myself, de Blob was one of those Nintendo Wii games that you want to play with you anywhere and anytime. THQ and Syfy have recognized the potential of this and are set to bring de Blob to the masses. Who knows what else might come out of this partnership, given the fact they are talking new IPs, it could be anything.
Syfy will begin developing 'webisodes', television and consumer products like toys, with the future plans of movies definitely an objective. Games are also coming soon! No release dates have been put forth yet and the developer who will create them is unknown. THQ is preparing to have new games based on de Blob across multiple gaming platforms developed and published some day before March 31, 2011.*This is not a release date nor estimate. Look out for exciting new content in the entertainment world from Syfy Kids and other THQ and Syfy collaborations.

syncer assigned this task to UnicronNL.
syncer moved this task from Need Triage to Backlog on the VyOS 1.1.x board.
syncer added subscribers: UnicronNL, syncer.
@UnicronNL can you rebuild it ?
The lldpd package had really insufficient dependencies, it didn't even list libssl. This is why it wasn't rebuilt, we used apt-cache rdepend to find the packages that depend on libssl0.9.8, and due to missing dependencies this one didn't show up.
syncer moved this task from Needs Triage to In Progress on the VyOS 1.1.x (1.1.9) board.

BkiUdQA5ixsDMO6yt6L1 | Yesterday, Joey Suriel made a post on Instagram that threw out the idea of a Menace documentary. It was then reposted by Steven Cales. While this could mean anything, it's hard to ignore the potential foreshadowing here.
With fall approaching, we thought that this could somehow be linked to Season 2 of Viceland's Epicly Later'd. We were wrong. Patrick O'Dell confirmed via email this afternoon that a second season of Later'd has yet to be greenlit by the network, and that there are currently no plans to redo the Menace episode for television.
To add even more fuel to our curiosity, we also received a cryptic text message for Lee Smith hours ago saying that he wanted to send us something via email. No word on if this is at all related. The message has not hit our inbox yet. But we'll certainly keep you updated on any new developments.

Portsmouth Landmarks: Christian Union Church/PHS headquarters

Church/Museum today
The headquarters of the Portsmouth Historical Society today was a church that was an important part of life in South Portsmouth. The church was founded in 1810 as the Christian Church of Portsmouth. Members met in private homes until a small meetinghouse was built in 1824 on the site of the present building. At that point they called themselves the Union Society to help unite rather than divide the Christian community. The church was called the Union Meeting House and was financed with the help of a lottery.
The congregation seemed open to a variety of expressions of faith. William Ellery Channing, a noted Unitarian who lived close by, loved to talk with the church members on Sunday afternoons. Noted social reformer Dorothea Dix began the Sunday School.
The present structure was built in 1865 at a cost of $7,000. At that time they returned to the name of the Christian Church of Portsmouth. The basic principle Rev. Miller was that the Bible is the word of God. Members were sent as delegates to the Rhode Island and Massachusetts Christian and Congregational Conferences.
The construction of the new church was very brief – lasting from August to December 1865. The choir loft was added later. The minister at that time, Rev. William E. Miller was instrumental in overseeing the construction and he also built the church pulpit. A church dedication ceremony was held in early January 1866.
Women were invited to preach. Julia Ward Howe, another neighbor up on Union Street, would come to "supply the pulpit". Ellen Gustin of Attleboro was active in evangelization at the church and worked with the pastor.
In the 1870s the pastors held open meetings at the Glen and local Methodist pastors and ministers from many denominations were present. The governing structure of the church revolved around a board which was charged with finding and overseeing pastors and the life of the church. The officers were three Elders (and later a President), two Deacons, treasurer and the clerk. Most of what we know about the church is from the writings of the various clerks in the church records. The activities of the church centered around the official church committee.
The most active of the committees seemed to be Music and Social Life. The church members believed that everyone should have access to a musical education. The church had a singing school and organ lessons were given. The organ you see in the church today was bought from Emmanuel Church from Newport in 1903.
Organ from Emmanuel Church
The social life group coordinated turkey suppers and Christmas festivals at the church. Clambakes, strawberry festivals and oyster suppers were held at the Glen and other sites on the island. Even when there was no pastor and the spiritual side of the congregation was lacking, the social and benevolent parts of the church were active in uniting the group. The church building served the community as a school, lecture hall and social meeting spot.
The church was an active, thriving congregation for the half century between the Civil War and World War I. It then went through a decline from which it never recovered. The last church service was held in the summer of 1937. In 1940 the fourteen remaining members voted to give the property to the Portsmouth Historical Society. The remaining members recognized the church as a historic landmark in Portsmouth and they wanted the building to be used for educational or historical purposes.

In the old days, both the stake that pierce through the meat and the water-mill wheel would have been made of wood. Nowadays, it is of course made of metal. With a little imagination, one can whisk oneself back through time.

For fans of George and Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World, a heartfelt coming of age story about a nonbinary ice skater navigating a binary world. Twelve-year-old Ana-Marie Jin, the reigning US Juvenile figure skating champion, is not a frilly dress kind of kid. So, when Ana learns that next season's program will be princess themed, doubt forms fast. Still, Ana tries to focus on training and putting together a stellar routine worthy of national success. Once Ana meets Hayden, a transgender boy new to the rink, thoughts about the princess program and gender identity begin to take center stage. And when Hayden mistakes Ana for a boy, Ana doesn't correct him and finds comfort in this boyish identity when he's around. As their friendship develops, Ana realizes that it's tricky juggling two different identities on one slippery sheet of ice. And with a major competition approaching, Ana must decide whether telling everyone the truth is worth risking years of hard work and sacrifice.

BkiUa1vxaKPQoqJ9_b_N | Super healthy, easy and delicious vegetable tofu stir fry you can make in less time than it takes to cook the rice you serve it with!
I use a lot of ginger in my cooking. Ginger adds a special spicy flavor and zest to stir fries. Most vegetables have a cooling effect on the body, so it's important to balance that by cooking vegetables with ginger to promote blood circulation. It also helps to reduce intestinal gas, bloating and promote healthy sweating to assist in detoxification. The more reason for me to use ginger in almost every savory meal I cook.
Fresh ginger can be found in the produce section of supermarkets. When looking for fresh ginger root, make sure it is firm, smooth and free of mold.
This recipe has ginger, sliced carrots, zucchini, cauliflower, cabbage and fried tofu for the protein. You can customize your own using whatever vegetables you like. Very simple, delicious and easy to make!
Prepare and mix sauce in a small bowl.
Pour boiling water over carrots and cauliflower florets for a few seconds to slightly blanch them, then rinse in cold water, drain and place aside.
Heat wok or pan at medium heat.
Add oil and ginger and stir fry for 1 minutes.
Add all the vegetables and stir for 5 minutes.
Bring to slight boil and dish out onto plate.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

Attorney General Patrick Morrisey Announces $393,000 Judgment Against Synthetic Drug Manufacturer
Saturday, April 4, 2015 - 03:51 From a News Release by WV Attorney General Patrick Morrisey
CHARLESTON — Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced that a permanent injunction was entered against the owner of a Georgia-based business that sold illegal synthetic drugs in West Virginia.
The Circuit Court of Putnam County fined Drew Green, the owner of the now-defunct Nutragenomics Manufacturing LLC, $375,000 in civil penalties for violating the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act by misleading customers and mislabeling the chemicals his company sold over the phone and online. Additionally, the court ordered Green to pay $18,357.54 in restitution.
"This injunction is a victory for our state," Attorney General Morrisey said. "Shutting down the marketers and distributors of these illegal drugs is critical to helping end the scourge of drug addiction that plagues our state."
Synthetic drugs are chemicals that are specifically designed to mimic the effects of marijuana, methamphetamine, and other controlled substances. They are sold as "incense," "plant food," or "bath salts" and while labeled as "not for human consumption" are marketed online as a way for users to get high. Manufacturers frequently alter the compounds used to make synthetic drugs in order to evade state and federal laws.
The West Virginia Attorney General's Office began investigating Green and Nutragenomics in early 2012. That investigation led to federal agents seizing Nutragenomics' assets. Later that year, Green pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance in U.S. District Court in Louisiana. Green was sentenced to 117 months in prison in December 2014.
Nutragenomics filed for bankruptcy in December 2012.
Earlier this year, Morrisey joined 42 other state and territorial attorneys general in a letter asking British Petroleum, Chevron Corp., Citgo Petroleum Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp., Marathon Petroleum Corp., Phillips 66, Shell Oil Co., Sunoco, and Valero Energy Corp to collaborate with franchisees to help eliminate illegal synthetic drugs from gas stations and convenience stores.
"The fact that synthetic drugs have been available at locations operating under respected brand names has only exacerbated an already growing problem," the letter states. "Young people are the most likely to use these dangerous drugs, and their availability in stores operating under well-known brands gives the appearance of safety and legitimacy to very dangerous products."

BkiUdS44dbgg9CUVsSV3 | In Thong Lor, no fewer than five community malls have opened over the past four years, and an equal number of condos have gone up in that time. Countless restaurants, clubs, and bars have closed, too. All of this is to say it's a testament to quality that Octave Rooftop Lounge & Bar has not only survived the past four years, but that it still packs in guests every night, too.
From the riverside to the northern reaches of Lad Phrao, there's no shortage of venues sitting more than 40 floors above Bangkok. They don't all have staying power, mind you, but Octave does. Start with the setting. Perched atop the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit, the outdoor lounge on the 45th floor gives you either an eagle-eye view down the shimmering chute of Sukhumvit Road, or off into the city's skyscraper-less expanses to the east. Head up to the alfresco bar on the 49th floor, and suddenly you have breath-taking views in every direction.
Octave has more to offer than pretty scenery. Those in search of a sundowner should heed the 5pm-7pm happy hours, when signature cocktails are half-price. That brings them down to about B200 each. It's a great deal for a rooftop bar, even better when you factor in the service: shortly before 7pm, the wait staff will visit your table to collect last-call orders.
The signature drinks on special play to the breadth of international tastes. Those who like simple and strong cocktails should try the Back to Basics (B450). This riff on the Old Fashioned uses vanilla syrup and homemade coffee bitters to give it a sweeter fragrance than the original recipe, but with a more rounded bite. If you prefer tropical flavours, try the Thai Mojito (B370). This locally inspired spin on the global classic brings mango into the mix and swaps Thai basil for mint; the latter adds an anise-like note that plays off the citrus.
The Shining Sun (B380) also combines tropical and Thai flavours, but with one obscure ingredient. Flor de Caña aged rum is mixed with tamarind, homemade pomelo-and-lime shrub (tangy, vinegar-based fruit syrups), and mango and pineapple juices, then topped with the green fairy: absinthe.
There's a long list of classic cocktails, beer, and wine. That includes some quality champagne labels, a welcome sight for people celebrating special occasions. It all goes well with the lounge's light dishes. For the most variety, and the most fun, get one of the boxes. For B1,550, four compartments of a clear jewellery box hit the table filled with oysters, sushi rolls, sashimi, and prawns, or Wagyu sliders, pork ribs, Japanese fried chicken, and black cod.
In many ways, Octave really does take rooftop bars to the next level. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUcX_xK0zjCxh72g3t | The Father - REVIEW →
- NZ LISTENER -
A Son is the first feature by Tunisian film-maker Mehdi Barsaoui, whose cinematic eye and knack with narrative pacing make this both an admirable debut and an intense family drama.
Quite aside from the film's crisp photography and naturalistic performances, Barsaoui impresses with an original and engrossing story in which an ostensibly happy marriage is torn apart when a couple's young son is seriously injured in a terrorist attack.
Meriem (Najla Ben Abdallah) and Fares (French-Tunisian actor Sami Bouajila) are liberal, middle-class Tunisians whose holiday is upeneded by a fatal shoot-out. After he is caught in the crossfire, their 11-year-old is desperately in need of a life-saving transplant. This would place pressure on any marriage, but complications are swiftly unveiled that threaten several lives and everyone's happiness.
In Barsaoui's unpredictable and judiciously restrained screenplay, detils are slowly revealed like the peeling of an onion (with the commensurate tears). Keeping us gripped throughout, the whys and wherefores of the couple's discord are eeked out over the film's modest 95 minutes. Human nature clashes with stubborn pride until a shady stranger makes an offer that goes against ethical, religious and cultural propriety. But desperate times call for desperate, even illegal, measures.
As with many domestic melodramas, it's slightly frustrating when a fighting couple refuses to listen to each other, and you may roll your eyes when the protagonist drives to a not-at-all-metaphorical fork in the road. But A Son has at its heart a superbly constructed moral dilemma that brillianty puts the viewer in a position to ask themselves how far they would go to save a loved one.

BkiUenq6NNjgB0Ss3chO | Observation: The highlight of today's ride was the promise of a new park for Detroit. The city is trying to buy the long since abandoned Rogell Golf Course and after spending 30 minutes exploring it, I can say confidently say it's just beautiful. If someone dropped you in the middle of it and let you wander around, you would just assume you were in upper Michigan someplace in a mixed field/forest area with wildflowers all around. The 120-acre parcel would really not need much work to become another gem in the city's park system, so I'm looking forward to revisiting it in the coming years.
D-Fact: Detroit has never hosted a PGA, Professional Golfers' Association, event in its 118-year history, but all that will change in 2019 when it will be hosting an event for four straight years. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

The Age of Missing Information (Paperback)
By Bill McKibben
"Highly personal and original . . . McKibben goes beyond Marshall McLuhan's theory that the medium is the message."
Imagine watching an entire day's worth of television on every single channel. Acclaimed environmental writer and culture critic Bill McKibben subjected himself to this sensory overload in an experiment to verify whether we are truly better informed than previous generations. Bombarded with newscasts and fluff pieces, game shows and talk shows, ads and infomercials, televangelist pleas and Brady Bunch episodes, McKibben processed twenty-four hours of programming on all ninety-three Fairfax, Virginia, cable stations. Then, as a counterpoint, he spent a day atop a quiet and remote mountain in the Adirondacks, exploring the unmediated man and making small yet vital discoveries about himself and the world around him. As relevant now as it was when originally written in 1992–and with new material from the author on the impact of the Internet age–this witty and astute book is certain to change the way you look at television and perceive media as a whole.
"By turns humorous, wise, and troubling . . . a penetrating critique of technological society."–Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Masterful . . . a unique, bizarre portrait of our life and times."
"Do yourself a favor: Put down the remote and pick up this book."
Bill McKibben is the author of more than a dozen books, including The End of Nature, Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered Age, and Deep Economy. A former staff writer for The New Yorker, he writes often for Harper's Magazine, National Geographic, and the New York Review of Books, among other publications. He is the founder of the environmental organizations Step It Up and 350.org, a global-warming awareness campaign that in October 2009 coordinated what CNN called "the most widespread day of political action in the planet's history." He is a scholar in residence at Middlebury College and lives in Vermont with his wife, the writer Sue Halpern, and their daughter.

BkiUdWs4uBhi6bG9lTy2 | In each issue we'll be reviewing four volumes of poetry, literary criticism and poetry 'how to' primers. We purchase and review poetry at random from retailers world wide (mostly Amazon) and we review fairly and independently. We also write solicited reviews. Our review process is the same regardless of whether the review is solicited or unsolicited.
Getting independent, honest reviews for your chapbooks and anthologies is extremely difficult for poets, who are often published independently, either with small (or tiny) publishers. We love poetry, and know the success of your volume often depends on independent reviewing. We offer a limited review service for both traditionally published and independently published poets.
Upload the full pdf file of the book you wish us to review.
Send us a separate JPEG file of the cover if this is not included in your MS. Send this to quarterdayreviewNOSPAMTHANKS@gmail.com [remove the capitalised words from the email address].
Indicate in your cover note whether or not this book is published and, if it is, provide information on pricing and the retailer in your cover letter.
We review both free verse and classical forms. We love poetry in all its forms, but of course, we do have a slight preference towards traditional verse.
We charge a reasonable reading fee of £30 GBP for the review of chapbooks and anthologies. This money goes towards running Quarterday and (eventually) to paying our poets. The only reason why we charge you a reading fee is because we give you the option of asking us not to publish it. To place our reading fee in perspective, Kirkus will charge you around $500 USD for a solicited review of your work.
We treat everyone the same — no exceptions. Your work will be reviewed to the same standard whether you or your publisher solicits a review from us (paid) or whether we review your book at random (unpaid). However, if you've paid a reading fee for us to review your work, we will let you see the review before we publish it, and we'll also give you the option to veto publication.
Because we treat everyone the same, bear in mind what your volume will look like in a thumbnail next to the review. We strongly advise that independent poets have their work edited by a third party, and their book covers properly designed. We do give attention to the aesthetics of the volume as well as the content in our reviews. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUeBU4eIOjRtRwjuBk | "This is where my God Son and his family go to church and preschool. Both he and his sister were baptized here, and I've worshiped with this congregation on several occasions. I am kind of sad that their family is moving because it is really nice to visit a church and feel genuinely welcomed. Of course, Leilah is apparently not only a big deal in Japan but also at Trinity Lutheran Church and Preschool and so is her brother, Georgie." | c4 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdpM5ixsDMDLI8cU7 | With America's most patriotic holiday right around the corner, we have come up with six easy ways to incorporate some Fourth of July spirit into your business marketing strategy.
Incorporate July 4 into a blog post.
No matter what type of business you're marketing, the Fourth of July is a holiday that can easily be incorporated into your content. Gather patriotic recipes, put together festive outfits, outline some firework safety tips or pull together a fun playlist of songs.
Most towns have firework displays, fairs, 5K runs and more happening around the Fourth of July. Get in on the action and sponsor a local activity or set up a booth. This gets your company's name in the public eye at a time when a lot of people are out and about.
Show your spirit on social media.
a creative photo featuring your employees, customers or product that celebrates our nation's independence.
Everyone likes free stuff, right? Look for opportunities where you can distribute red, white and blue "swag" with your company name on it. For example, join the Fourth of July parade to hand out items along the route, or run an Independence Day giveaway campaign on social media where one lucky winner receives a free service or product.
If you have the capability and capacity, consider hosting an event. If you're a restaurant, offer a discount to patrons wearing red, white and blue. If you're a church, host an afternoon outdoor picnic. If you're a business with a storefront, hire a band to play patriotic music outside your store entrance. The possibilities are endless.
Did you know that all of Screenflex's portable room divider products are manufactured in the U.S.? We're proud of that! Maybe your product is made in the U.S. as well, or a portion of your profit is donated to a charity organization benefitting veterans. These are great qualities to publicize, as they tend to be key factors in driving consumers' emotional engagement with your brand.
So, now that you've got some ideas, don't miss out on a great opportunity to further develop your business through strategic marketing this July. Oh, and don't forget to watch some fireworks, be with family and light some sparklers. Happy Independence Day! | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUeBvxK4sA-5Y3tNiK | This is pretty much my favourite dress ever right now. I bought it for £6 on Ebay, especially for Pride. I was worried that it would be too tight, especially as the largest size was 12-14, but it ended up fitting perfectly. It was the perfect dress for Pride- so happy and cheerful, and I got so many compliments on it! I'm not going to lie, it makes me feel amazing!
Such a gorgeous dress and very appropriate for pride!
It's the perfect Pride dress!
I love the dress, and your waist looks so small here. Serious hourglass figure envy!
Haha my waist is disproportionately small! I do love it but it's a pain to buy clothes that fit.
WOW! It turns you into the ultimate hourglass!
Yup, that's my figure. I do love it but it's SUCH a pain to find clothes that fit. That's why I always wear skater skirts and dresses- They're bigger on the hips so they fit.
Thank you. I had such a great time!
Hello,Ciao...great dress for the Pride...so colourful,so shining of joy...and it celebrate your gorgeous Silhouette !
This dress is gorgeous and looks so amazing on you! | c4 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
BkiUdSbxK7IAEeGRfYsg | This map of Corfu of 1575 was designed like all medieval maps. According to the sources of that time and lots of imagination by Andre de Thevet (1516–1590).
Andre de Thevet (1516 – 23 November 1590) was a French Franciscan priest, explorer, cosmographer and writer who travelled to Brazil in the 16th century. He described the country, its aboriginal inhabitants and the historical episodes involved in the France Antarctique, a French settlement in Rio de Janeiro, in his book Singularities of France Antarctique.
It is common characteristic of medieval maps that cities, fortresses as well as the small islands are exaggerated and this map is no exception.
So we see otherworldly dimensions for the old fortress and generally for the city while the countryside proportion is too small, on the other side all small rocks on the west coast have acquired enormous proportions!
While Vido island is five times bigger and climbed until Sinies, the rocks at Sivota Epirus are consolidated on an island larger than Paxos and almost touches the salt marshes of Lefkimi.
Porto Timoni in the north became lagoon. St. George of Argirades became bay and some new islands are in the area of Arkoudilla cape, there are no islands in there but rather some rocks not bigger than a few square metres each that now are reefs.
Oh, and the Buxardo rock grew and could not fit neither on Gouvia bay which is relatively very small.
The entire Kanoni can fit in the port of Mandraki at old fort , the Antinioti lake didn`t exist, instead Sidari was a big gulf.
We learn that Paleokastritsa had a dozen of small islands as well as the south west coast had another dozen.
Lagoudia rocks front of Chalikouna have enormous dimensions, almost larger than Paxos.
It is almost certain that the priest had never visited Corfu or came here only for a few days, a look from the ground level was enough to see immediately that everything on the map was far away from reality and is was funny.
However, such efforts were laudable and beautiful from an artistic point of view, medieval illustrations show us a lot of strange things and mainly entertain as today.
And despite our highly banter mood, for not to be completely unfair with the Frenchman, at least we must admit that he gives us historical information relating to names, an example on this map is the confirmation of the origin of the name of Benitses, comes from the river that existed and was called Pinisa. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUeAfxK7DgtAAQJhC7 | HARRIS v. THE STATE.
S91G1535.
FLETCHER, Justice.
We granted the writ of certiorari to determine whether the trial court had authority to increase the amount of restitution that the defendant had to pay after he began serving his sentence. The Court of Appeals held that the increase in restitution was not an impermissible increase or enhancement of the defendant's punishment. Harris v. State, 200 Ga. App. 841, 844 (410 SE2d 123) (1991). We find that restitution ordered as part of a criminal sentence is punishment and reverse.
Kenneth DeWayne Harris pleaded guilty to a theft by taking and was sentenced to four years, with 60 days in prison and the remainder on probation. As a term of probation, Harris had to pay restitution in an amount to be determined at a later hearing. On August 2, 1990, Harris began serving his 60-day confinement period. On August 28, 1990, the restitution hearing was scheduled, but the victim failed to appear due to a miscommunication with the district attorney's office. The state and Harris stipulated to the amount of the victim's loss based on the police report and victim impact statement. The court ordered Harris to pay the victim $600 in restitution for personal property taken from the car that she had rented.
On September 28, 1990, the victim moved to modify the restitution order after the rental car company sued her for damages to the automobile. The state argued in favor of modification and later presented testimony from a representative of the rental car company on the amount of damages. On November 9, 1990, the trial court found that it had the right to modify the terms of probation and ordered Harris to pay an additional $2,296.30 in restitution to the rental car company. Harris appealed, and the Court of Appeals affirmed.
1. In upholding the restitution statute as constitutional, we have referred to restitution as "a penalty to be determined by the court in a criminal case." See Cannon v. State, 246 Ga. 754 (272 SE2d 709) (1980). The punitive nature of restitution is illustrated by the consequences when a defendant with the ability to pay fails to comply with a restitution order which is a condition of probation. In that event, the sentencing judge may revoke probation and order imprisonment as an appropriate penalty for the offense. See Bearden v. Georgia, 461 U. S. 660, 668 (103 SC 2064, 76 LE2d 221) (1983); OCGA 17-14-13 (c); 17-10-1 (a). Thus, as the dissenting judges below concluded, restitution "is inextricably linked to the punitive aspects of the offender's sentence." See Harris, 200 Ga. App. at 849 (Birdsong, J., dissenting).
Moreover, restitution is not synonymous with civil damages. Morrison v. State, 181 Ga. App. 440, 441 (352 SE2d 622) (1987); see OCGA 17-14-11. The amount of the victim's damages is only one factor for a court to consider in determining the amount of restitution. The sentencing court must also consider the offender's present financial condition and future earning capacity, as well as the goal of rehabilitation to the offender. See OCGA 17-14-10.
We reject the state's argument that restitution is a civil remedy for the victim, as the purpose of restitution is not solely to restore the crime victim to the financial status enjoyed before the crime was committed. Although OCGA 17-14-1 states restitution is a primary concern of the criminal justice system, the state has other concerns of equal importance, including punishing and rehabilitating persons convicted of crimes and deterring others from criminal behavior. See Bearden, 461 U. S. at 671; OCGA 17-14-5; 17-14-10.
Viewed from the perspective of punishing a defendant, restitution is recognized as an effective rehabilitative penalty because it forces defendants to confront concretely -- and take responsibility for -- the harm they have inflicted, and it appears to offer a greater potential for deterrence.
People v. Hall-Wilson, 69 NY2d 154 (505 NE2d 584, 585, 513 NYS2d 73, 74) (1987). Accordingly, we hold that restitution is punishment when ordered as part of a criminal sentence. See Shelton v. State, 161 Ga. App. 524, 525 (289 SE2d 768) (1982).
2. We have held that the sentencing court may not increase a sentence once the defendant begins serving it without violating the prohibition against double jeopardy in both the Georgia and Federal constitutions. See Hudson v. State, 248 Ga. 397, 398 (283 SE2d 271) (1981); England v. Newton, 238 Ga. 534, 536 (233 SE2d 787) (1977); Inman v. State, 124 Ga. App. 190, 192 (183 SE2d 413) (1971). Since restitution is punishment when ordered as part of a criminal sentence, the trial court cannot increase the amount of restitution after the defendant begins serving a sentence absent the defendant's consent. 1 See State v. Bailey, 701 SW2d 632, 633-634 (Tenn. Cr. App. 1985). Because Harris had begun serving his sentence when the trial court increased the restitution and he had not clearly assented to this reconsideration of the restitution amount, the trial court lacked authority to order an increase in Harris' punishment.
Certiorari to the Court of Appeals of Georgia -- 200 Ga. App. 841.
Robert E. Wilson, District Attorney, Thomas S. Clegg, J. George Guise, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.
1 This ruling does not prevent a trial court from deferring the initial decision on the amount of restitution until a later hearing, as occurred in this case.* The crime occurred September 25, 1990. Appellant was indicted on December 7, 1990. He was convicted of murder on March 14, 1991 and sentenced to life imprisonment. Appellant filed a motion to correct and supplement the record and motion for new trial on May 23, 1991. Appellant filed an extraordinary motion for new trial on June 19, 1991. The trial court denied the motions for new trial on July 3, 1991. Notice of appeal was filed on July 26, 1991. The case was docketed in this court on September 3, 1991. The case was submitted for decision on October 18, 1991.
