Stanley Sadler Crick (1888-1955), film distributor, was born on 9 October 1888 at Launceston, Tasmania, son of William Throne Crick, accountant, and his wife Alice, née Sadler. His grandfather was Throne Crick, a prominent businessman in Leicestershire. While an infant Stanley was taken by his parents to England, and in 1895 returned with them to Hobart where he entered The Hutchins School; he won a prize for classics in 1901, distinguished himself at football and sang in the choir of St David's Cathedral. His first job was as a clerk with a Hobart auctioneer, J. W. Abbott & Sons, but he soon moved to Melbourne as an accountant for Lohmann & Co., before joining the new Melbourne branch of the film production and distribution company of Pathé Frères in 1908.
Crick rose rapidly in the organization and established branches in Queensland and New Zealand; in 1909 he became manager of the Sydney office. On 25 April 1910 at the Methodist church, St Kilda, Melbourne, he married Ruby Margaret Burman, a nurse. In 1911 he left Pathé to produce his own films, first with Herbert Finlay and from June in the ambitious Australian Photo-Play Co. Employing a large stock company of actors and technicians, Crick turned out some twenty feature films in about a year, including outdoor adventures such as Moora Neya or the Message of the Spear (1911), and melodramas based on topical events such as The Cup Winner (1911). The enterprise closed down because of distribution difficulties and the loss of negatives in a fire. Thereafter, although Crick invested in a few later production such as Raymond Longford's The Mutiny of the Bounty (1916), he concentrated on the distribution of imported films.
His wife, predeceased by their only child, died in Sydney in October 1918 and next year Crick travelled in Asia. On his return he joined the American Fox Film Corporation (Australasia) Ltd, as Victorian manager. On 26 April 1921 at St Kilda he married a divorcee, Eleanor Ida Turner, née Williamson. In November he moved to Sydney as general sales manager for Fox in New South Wales and became managing director for Australasia in June 1922. He travelled extensively to branch offices and often visited the United States of America. In 1930 Crick also became managing director of the large cinema chain, Hoyts Theatres Ltd, after Fox had bought a controlling interest.
From the early 1930s Crick devoted increasing energy to civic affairs: in 1931-32 he served on the Sydney Harbour Bridge Celebrations committee, and in 1934 on the management of Sydney Festival Week. The gardens of his luxurious home, Berith Park, Wahroonga, were often used to aid charities. He also served on the committees of the City of Sydney Eisteddfod, the Returned Sailors' and Soldiers' Imperial League of Australia, and, being a keen golfer, the Pymble Golf Club. In 1935 he was awarded King George V's Jubilee Medal for his civic contributions and, in November, as a Citizens Reform Association candidate, was elected to the Sydney Municipal Council for Gipps Ward. As an alderman he was closely involved in the 1938 sesqui-centenary celebrations in Sydney and chaired the pageant committee.
Crick resigned from Hoyts Theatres in September 1937 and from Fox in February 1938, but remained as joint managing director of Australian and New Zealand Theatres Ltd, a company controlling J. C. Williamson Ltd, and was also a director of the Macquarie Broadcasting Services Pty Ltd. He was lord mayor of Sydney from December 1939 until December 1942, and concentrated his entrepreneurial skill on patriotic functions and fund-raising, particularly the Lord Mayor's Fund, for the war effort.
Crick had always liked racing and owned several horses including Sir Regent, winner of the Metropolitan Handicap in Sydney in 1937. He was also a member of Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, the Royal Motor Yacht Club of New South Wales and the Athenaeum Club, Melbourne. In 1948 he bought the Navua stud farm at Richmond, New South Wales, and bred horses there until 1951 when he sold it for £50,000.
Crick died of a heart attack on 10 August 1955 while visiting Los Angeles; his body was flown back to Sydney and was buried in Northern Suburbs cemetery after a service at St Philip's Anglican Church. He was survived by his second wife and their son and two daughters. His estate was valued for probate at £72,583.
Gregarious and a lavish entertainer, Crick enjoyed his personal wealth in sports and social life, but always remained an adroit manager of his business affairs, with a talent for picking gifted people to work for him. He promoted both the showing of British films, and the development of an Australian film industry, although, ironically, he worked for an American company which was never involved directly in feature film production in Australia.

BRUSSELS (AP) — A Belgian judge charged Swiss bank UBS on Friday with money laundering and "serious and organized tax evasion," saying it directly sought clients in the country to help them skip taxes.
The spokesperson for the crown prosecutor, Jennifer Vanderputten, said in a statement that the charges were laid thanks to cooperation with French authorities, and refused to provide additional details.
UBS did not immediately comment on the charges, which come on top of previous ones against its Belgian subsidiary.
In that case, the head of the Belgian division was charged in June 2014 on suspicion that he and the firm had helped wealthy clients evade billions of euros in taxes.
The suspected criminal activity is thought to have begun more than a decade ago, when UBS clients in Belgium were allegedly helped to reduce their tax payments.
Information that led to the 2014 charges was given by compliance officers who had left UBS or had been fired and no longer supported the bank's tactics.
UBS denied that its Belgian division, which has since been sold, had ever supported tax evasion.
The new charges are under the supervision of judge Michel Claise.

This is gonna be great. Reebok and Wall are gonna make an awesome team.
I agree. Really please about this. Rather than just being a sheep and folowing Nike, John Wall is doing his own thing with Reebok!
I’m not sure Nike would have offered anywhere close to what Reebok is giving John Wall. Reebok needs someone to replaced Allen Iverson as their top face in the NBA, they think Wall can be that guy.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET WALL REEBOK WALL REEBOK. THAT’S HOT!!!!
Wall signed with avia not Reebok! Get the story right for Christsakes!
John Wall signed a $25 million shoe endorsement deal with Reebok in June. Where did you read he signed with Avia?

John Hughes created some of the most indelible and memorable movies of the last 30 years. He defined an entire genre of films that resonated with teenagers and their parents alike, because they were based on truth and authenticity. Hughes believed in creating strong characters that were anchored by honesty and some serious inner soul searching. It’s the biggest reason why the movies that John Hughes made had such an incredible impact on an entire generation of moviegoers.
There’s a lot we can learn from the John Hughes creative process. He was uncompromising in his method of storytelling, refusing to write movies and projects he did not believe in. He worked fast, but only after research had finely tuned his initial spark of an idea.
1. He took a risk.
Much like last weeks Incubator spotlight on Bone cartoonist Jeff Smith, Hughes had a very defining moment when he decided to follow his dream. After tremendous success at a Chicago ad firm, Hughes had an epiphany, He simply did not want to come to the end of his life not knowing if he could have been a writer on his own terms. So Hughes left his job at the ad agency, even with his wife expecting their second child. He made the final decision after a snowstorm kept him homebound for a week with nothing t do but write. It was then he knew he had to give it a go.
2. He set a time frame. For him it was three years. His wife agreed and he set out to follow his dream.
3. He built a bridge. He did freelance work for the National Lampoon, writing one piece called Vacation that went on to spawn several hilarious film movies starring Chevy Chase. So even though he quit his day job he still had the bridge of freelance to help pay the bills.
4. He worked fast, believing that good story telling begins with not censoring yourself along the way, instead refining the piece only after getting to the end. How fast? Two days to finish Sixteen Candles, and eight hours to polish off the last 40 pages of Home Alone.
5. He worked off of what he referred to as “benchmarkmoments”. Those times in life when we find ourselves having to adapt to change. Marraige, Death, Gruduation, the birth of a child. He also believed in upbeat endings which is perhaps one of the reasons we find his movies so appealing.
6. He wrote knowing which audience he was writing to.
7. He wrote what he knew but also believed in writing as a “process of discovery”, Writer Joshua James explains Hughes process best when he says “If it’s going to be any good, you’re going to have to find your way in to a part of yourself that you didn’t know existed, so that reading it, your readers can go to places inside themselves that they didn’t know existed.” James continues “He created characters who had the spark of life and truth which only comes from going deep into those unexplored places — if a writer doesn’t do that, he/she will never create anything but cliches and cardboard cutouts”. Planes, Trains and Autombiles was loosely based on an actual incident in his life. His movies based on his memories as a teenager were actually filmed at his former High School.
8. He kept “idea books” jotting things down, generally from his sponge-like observations of his own experiences as well as the experiences of others.
9. He made movies for himself. If your writing is based on authenticity it will resonate with its intended audience.
10. He believed music was a key component to creative storytelling. If you haven’t seen Breakfast Club in awhile, do so now and you’ll see a perfect example of why.
I’m a huge Depp fan. I think he is without a doubt, the single greatest Character actor of our time. A recent article by Rachel Abramowitz from the Los Angeles Times gives some interesting insight into the way Depp molds the characters he portrays on film. “When preparing for a role, he sketches the character, or paints him in watercolor, allowing his brain to bounce along it’s own idiosyncratic path. Capt. Jack Sparrow’s coal-rimmed eyes weren’t inspired by glam-rock but by Berber nomads who lined their orbs to protect them from the sun,” Abramowitz says. It has been known for some time that the screen personality of Jack Sparow was inspired by the mannerisms of Keith Richards, Depp’s good friend, and guitarist for the Rolling Stones . It’s interesting to find out that the eye-shadow wasn’t from the Keith Richards part of the character but actually had some historical fact behind it. That’s Depp working his magic. His portrayal of Dillinger in his newest flick “Public Enemies” was actually influenced by an audio tape he found of Dillinger’s father. Depp related because his own grandfather sounded exactly like him. Building solid and believable characters takes research and realism. They have to be grounded in someone you really know. Otherwise , they ring hollow.

This past week has been warm enough that we’re seeing activity in the Lafayette area. Southern areas are further along. See the note from Englebrecht’s Orchard in the Evansville area. We appreciate their help with crop condition reports and welcome others to submit their observations as well. In the Lafayette area brambles are pushing rapidly. Some are past 3/4 inch green and leaves are starting to show. Early grapes are just starting bud swell. Apples are mostly at half inch green. Paw paw flowers are swollen but have not started to open yet. Strawberry leaves continue to grow but flower buds are not yet visible in the crowns. There is still a risk of frost across the central and northern part of the state. Best wishes for a frost-free spring.

Rats are disgusting. But you can't help but root for "pizza rat," as he's been dubbed by the internet.
This viral video - viewed millions of times in the past day - shows a determined little New York City critter as he carries a slice of pizza down the subway stairs.
The rat takes just a few seconds to make it down three or four stairs before he gets spooked and scurries away.
The video ends before we see whether he went back up the stairs to try again.
Fox 5 in New York tracked down the man behind the instant fame of #PizzaRat, comedian Matt Little, who shot the video with his phone early Monday.
"Pizza rat is the hero New York City deserves," he joked. "He is an inspiration to everyone. It reminds us to not only do our best but to do your best with what you have."
And Little told the New York Post that, yes, pizza rat did indeed go back for seconds, then disappeared forever.

The ruin itself overlooks Celtic FC’s training ground. It’s a bizarre juxtaposition. Do the players, training for their next match, ever look up and wonder? Do they hear the cries of the former residents drift down on the breeze?
The castle was built in the 1830s. In the early 20th century it was transformed into a psychiatric hospital. At the time it was considered ahead of its time but it became overcrowded, understaffed and underfunded. It was less of a mental health institution and more of a dumping ground for society’s problems: truants, unmarried mothers, wayward teenagers and children with learning difficulties. Abuse and neglect was rife. Those who ran away were chased by dogs through the woods. Patients could be drugged and dumped on mattresses. Other patients recall being hit by baseball bats as they ran around the castle barefoot for failing to address a member of staff as sir. In December 1989, a study in the British Medical Journal found a quarter of patients in Lennox Castle were grossly underweight and malnourished.
The hospital finally closed its doors in June 2002 after a phased closure and resettlement of the residents.Yet exploring this ruin there was no sense of its dark and sad history, partly because history and the personal has been stripped away, and partly because of the sunlight streaming through the arches windows and gaps where the ruin has collapsed. The most ominous notes were the top-heavy pieces of building that look like they could slice away at any minute, and walking into the darkness of a storage bunker.
The ruins were not entirely a shell. There were some intact services rooms and a staircase to nowhere that looked ready to collapse. There were the remains of an entrance hall that hinted at grandeur. There was a rusty remains of a fire stairway running up the side of the central block, over and into thin air where once there was a roof to support it. Someone had made the considerable effort to tie a long rope and hang a tyre from it.
Of course I had a go. Only once I tripled-checked my weight was not going to bring the stairway down on me from a great height.
I know – even after the place was closed a lot of the former patients lived with the legacy for years afterwards.
It does have a tragic history but now that it’s such a ruin you don’t get that sense of it. If I had visited a say about 20 years ago it might have been quite eerie. Maybe because I visited on such a beautiful sunny day.
Creepy and fascinating. Incredible that conditions for the patients were so bad as late as 1989. I don’t think I’d be brave enough to try that swing.
It is quite shocking when you read the all too recent history. I was very careful to test the weight of the swing. I do have my limits – there was an internal stairway that looked like it was about to collapse under the weight of fallen rumble. I was not climbing on that and adding my weight!
Thanks for this. I live locally to the site and have watched it crumble away over the years. back in the nineties the old building was shut down but quiet intact. I remember peering into through the main doors and windows. The rest of the site was still there, more modern housing blocks curving down the hill. It was weird taking the bike down this road when it had closed.
Did you find the old folly ruin near the castle? I can also recommend taking the obvious path- I think it may have a semi-derelict sign to a view point called Lovers Leap where the view of valley beneath the Campsie Hills opens up with surprising speed.
Thanks for stopping by. I did find what I think is the folly about 100 metres from th e castle which is rapidly being taken over by trees and ivy. I didn’t find Lovers Leap so that sounds an intriguing thing to seek out next time I am in tha area. Might be good to go back in autumn when those woods will be beautiful. Thanks for those links as well – will watch those when the all this lovely weather goes!
Will definitely try and get a look at that if and when I return. Thanks for the tip. Sounds like there’s all kinds of interesting things in the woods around there!
worked in Lennox Castle in the 1980s, and found the staff to be very professional and trained to the highest standard, as for the castle it never housed patients it was used as offices and accommodation for trainee nurses. I was led to believe the castle building itself was closed due to subsidence which was a real shame as it was a beautiful building.
As well as the lovers leap, the old folly and the keepers cabin there is a large abandoned walled garden hidden in the trees at the front of the access road to celtic training ground and there is also what looks to be either a well or ice building behind the folly, access gained from the path that leads to lovers leap (a sharp right just at the beginning of the path sign posted with a arrow) both well worth a look.
Hi Dave – thank you for providing your insight and knowledge about the place. Helps add information to the article as I didn’t know the patients were not housed in the castle bit. I shall certainly look out for the walled garden next time I’m there. The castle building is beautiful, even as a ruin. Such a shame we can’t keep these buildings going.

Many people are aware of the popularity of the flashmob, which emerged in recent years as a fun collective take-over of public space, usually involving a choreographed routine in which a group of people suddenly break-out of the routine order of public space and perform their dance or movement, surprising and delighting ordinary occupiers of the space. This cultural form has since been co-opted by big business, as a fun form of guerilla marketing. Stephen Donnelly’s Drift Mob borrows from this phenomenon and nods to the Situationist practice of the dérive, which discouraged a rational, consumerist navigation of the city in favour of wandering and drifting, much like Baudelaire’s ‘Flâneur’.
Throughout the day at Hazard, Donnelly led groups of people to create his drift mobs. The group was put into an order so that each person involved was given the opportunity to lead the rest of the group. The rules were that the group could choose to either follow the leader or simply watch and support the rest of the group in performing an action. When a leader wanted to pass on the reins to someone else, they would squeeze the next person’s shoulder as a signal that they should take over.
The performance introduced a level of one-upmanship, as we tried to think of ways to take the group through ever more creative actions, or to tire people out. But, there was always the option not to partake. In reality, the group offered a certain freedom and security, spurring everyone to perform actions they would never think of performing at another time. It felt very rebellious, playful and exciting. For me, the most wonderful moments were when we came up with actions that related closely to the site – playing air guitar along to the musician next to the war memorial, making a temporary hand-print painting with fountain water, and climbing underneath and over stone benches.
The people-watchers sat at Starbucks, or on benches in St. Ann’s Square treated us as a comedic spectacle, whilst the managers of Office and Barclay’s Bank, whose shops we briefly occupied, treated us as unwanteds. The drift mob is a wonderfully ridiculous and unpredictable organism, which has the potential to make beautiful connections within the site, to expand the narrow range of movement and action expected in public spaces, and to disrupt commercial space with a drift of play.

Hollywood Boulevard & Vine Street erupts with volcanic fireworks like fireflies; over & over, again & again,ooo, ahh, ooh. They bring the western & eastern worlds closer. The rockets red glare, the blue dragonflies, the flying glow-worms bring us together again. Gaze high, higher now, higher … there! Juvenile shooting stars from Orion’s belt jet-race for first place. Kids, what can you do? Even angels with countless flight time on their wings are mad-hopping like grasshoppers in a late spring rain. This has been going on since your arrival. This is the way I have been feeling for years, many lifetimes, ever since I first fell into your eyes then reemerged a man more compassionate. I have been blessed by Fortuna to have walked the landscape of your beautiful face. You have performed many miracles, I’m one of them. Some fools have all the luck. Speak with the animals for me. Tell them I’m still here. I’m doing well, I’m hanging in, hanging on … & I’m coming home first chance I get. I live for that moment. May take a while but I’ll be there. Heaven is lucky to have you. Heaven knows it.

She trains at the Finally Farm in Camden, S.C., with the help of trainers Jack Towell and his daughter, Liza Towell Boyd. At Georgia, she will compete on a team that finished second in the NCEA championships this season and has won four national titles in the past seven years.
Howard said her decision to go to Georgia was pretty easy after she visited because she meshed right away with the coaching staff and team. She said it seemed like a family atmosphere.
It’s also been a family affair for Howard and her parents, Kim and Jay. Grace Howard said her parents sacrificed a lot, driving her to meets on weekends, going to the barn to work and clean the stalls and helping in other ways.
Kim Howard says she plans on watching her daughter compete as a Georgia Bulldog.

I know for some of you, you may be thinking of finding a new job this year or have to get a new one due to layoffs. Now I wish I came across this when I was laid off, as unemployment give you some packet but doesn’t explain this sort of stuff. (I’d have to see if I can find it but I should scan it & post for you.
Those of us who had had a job from 1999 (when some people would walk to businesses to fill out applications and so the manager or owner would see you when they handed it to you) I’d rather a person remember me for me not a piece of paper.

If you are faced with the opportunity to buy an already established business, there are many things that you need to consider, and questions that need asking, before you sign on the dotted line.
This is the view of Mary-Anne Greisdorfer, an associate director in the audit division of BDO Cape Town, who says that, among many things, you must think about liability, the valuation of the business and your exit strategy.
1. Have you analysed the financial records?
Greisdorfer says you should analyse the financial records for the past three years, including balance sheets, profit-and-loss statements, tax returns, purchases and sales records, and bank statements. Also check that these records been well kept and whether the business shows potential for growth.
“The financials form the basis of everything, and your assessment of these is the first point of business, as you want to ascertain the viability and profitability of a business before proceeding.
2. Have you assessed the tax implications?
3. Why is the seller really getting out?
“Take the time to ask the seller about why he or she is selling. Build a relationship with the seller and be thorough in your due diligence,” Greisdorfer says.
4. Who is currently steering the ship?
Like a ship’s captain, a company’s chief executive officer or management team steers, rights and can sometimes sink the ship, so it’s important to know who the company’s management is before you buy.
“Ask things like: is the company’s success heavily tied to this person/these people? Do you feel comfortable that the business can still do well if those people leave the company?” Greisdorfer says.
5. What business model does the company use?
What business model/strategy does the business use to maximise its profits? For example, does it offer the lowest possible price so it can sell more products, or does it sell fewer, higher-quality items but earns a larger profit per product sold?
6. Does it have a competitive advantage?
Do the business have a competitive advantage over other operators in the same line of business, through superior products, patents, brand power, technology, customer service or operating efficiency? “Ask what is unique about this business’s product or service,” Greisdorfer says.
7. How does the business “make its phone ring”?
“Any business needs to have a growing customer base to be successful,” Greisdorfer says. “So it is important to know what marketing the business has engaged in and what was successful versus what was not. Also, find out whether the product or service the business offers is likely to maintain or improve its marketability, or is it in danger of becoming over-sold, out of style or obsolete?
Greisdorfer advises that you try to ascertain what the sales patterns are year by year and month by month, and if there is a seasonal pattern or one related to a business cycle.
9. Are the profits increasing?
While revenue may be increasing, profits may not be. Profit, or net income, is the amount of money a company earns from sales after expenses and taxes have been paid.
“A company with growing profit each year shows that the business is successful, but have you considered the effect of inflation on sales and costs in the years to come?” Greisdorfer says.
10. How much debt does the business have?
“Another important factor is to assess if the business carries high volumes of stock, and what the turn-around time is between stock being sold and the suppliers being paid. There may possibly be a cost or financing element for you regarding when they need to pay the suppliers. You may need to have spare funds available or get financing to cover the period between suppliers being paid and money from debtors coming in,” Greisdorfer says.
12. Are you savvy about the legalities?
Greisdorfer says it is important to ask questions such as what are the terms and conditions of any applicable lease agreements and your obligations and rights under such agreements? Are there any legal proceedings pending against the business or the seller? Have you sought legal and accounting advice on the best way to handle your finances, the purchase and your business structure?
13. What is your exit strategy?
“There are so many other things that should be assessed before committing to buying a business,” says Greisdorfer. “Such as, how old the machinery is (if applicable) and if it will need replacing any time soon and at what cost? How much stock needs to be carried to meet demand? Are you satisfied that the expenses disclosed include all expenses incurred by the business? Has the seller covered the business with the necessary insurance cover? Have all compliance requirements (work, health and safety, quality assurance and environmental compliance) been met and do they appear in the accounts? Are any goods on warranty? If so, should you make a financial allowance for possible warranty commitments? The list can almost be endless, and that is why it is important to consult a financial expert who can guide you through the process."

Los Angeles football: Does the NFL really want a team in L.A.?
Oh, the Jags-to-Los Angeles speculation. For ages now, a hypothetical Los Angeles NFL team—the Jaguars, the Bucs, the Unicorns—has been just over the horizon, a mythic solution to all of the league’s problems. When a franchise can’t get its stadium plans together (like the Vikings), or when a dwindling fan base or a change in ownership threatens a team’s staying power (like the Jaguars), L.A. is invariably the go-to solution—the Promised Land, even. The comical underlying fiction here is that because each franchise that cycles into its own troubles looks West for its salvation, the NFL’s return to Los Angeles will keep any more teams anywhere from cycling into trouble again.
But now Los Angeles is threatening to attach an actual building to this hypothetical future. By 2016, if things go according to plan, the city could have a shining yet solid new stadium, awaiting the arrival of whichever league castoff is threatening to make the move that year.
In August, the Los Angeles City Council approved a $1.5 billion deal to develop a stadium downtown. This stadium, Farmers Field—the naming rights have already been purchased by Farmers Insurance Group—would be adjacent to the Staples Center and the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The council’s approval was a boon for the Anschutz Entertainment Group, which had submitted proposals as early as December 2010. AEG has a leg up on Ed Roski, the real estate developer who had proposed the design you see below back in 2008. In his original plan, Roski promised to “buy a full or majority share of a team, relocate it to Los Angeles and privately finance a stadium” in the City of Industry, about 20 miles east of L.A.
AEG’s plan seems more feasible now—especially financially, as Roski’s plan would make any relocated team the majority owner—but I like calling up the City of Industry models when I’m thinking about the eternal promise of the L.A. football team. The rendering you see below is Roski’s vision for what his future L.A. football stadium will look like the day that it hosts the Super Bowl (let’s call it Super Bowl ∞). It’s going to be epic as long as the Coca-Cola blimp manages to avoid the fireworks showering the field.
This place looks more fun than Disney.
But let’s not forget the particular location we’re dealing with here. The first professional football team out of L.A., in 1926, didn’t even play there. The Los Angeles Buccaneers were a road team made up of University of California and University of Southern California alumni and were based out of Chicago. A truly L.A.-based team wasn’t really a viable option. The Coliseum had an “unofficial ban” on pro teams playing in the stadium. As Michael MacCambridge explains it in his book America’s Game, the Coliseum Commission—which consisted mostly of USC and UCLA alums—felt a duty to maintain “college football’s primacy on the West Coast.” What’s more, it was kind of difficult and time-consuming to navigate the Rockies back then.

So the displaced L.A. Bucs played just a single season, traveling around the Midwest for games, and finished 6-3-1. (Another L.A. team, the Wildcats, was also based in Chicago.) It wasn’t until the 1930s, when the NFL briefly considered admitting the Los Angeles Bulldogs into the league, that the City of Angels had a pro team based in Los Angeles. The Bulldogs played in the second generation of the American Football League in 1937, and then played for about a decade in the Pacific Coast Professional Football League. The Cleveland Rams arrived in 1946, and the Oakland Raiders showed up in 1982. Both skipped town in 1995—the Rams for the considerably less enchanted St. Louis, the Raiders for a return to Oakland.
Part of the theory that’s grown over the years is that the league and its owners like having Los Angeles around to force other cities to bid against it. Baltimore, after losing the Colts, used to serve a similar function—so well, in fact, that the league snubbed its expansion bid in 1993 to award a franchise to the less promising Jacksonville. Oddly enough, Baltimore finally succeeded in getting an NFL team as soon as the Los Angeles NFL market opened up.
Even in the past year, as Minnesota struggles to build a new stadium, L.A.’s been considered a constant ultimatum on the horizon—even though no one with the Vikings has directly endorsed a move. With the sale of the Jaguars, Jacksonville’s next on the block. I’ll believe it when I see Super Bowl ∞.

At his shows, the pop singer-songwriter known as Lauv has a box for what he calls “My Blue Thoughts.” In it, audience members can drop strips of paper on which they’ve jotted whatever is on their mind at the moment. Sometimes it’s inane stuff, like a desire for chicken fingers. Other times it’s the serious things: “loss of family members, depression, eating disorders.” Lauv likes to share these notes and commemorate them on a blog he keeps, binding his fans together in an experience of communal openness, a sort of group therapy that continues in his online presence, from Instagram to Tumblr to Reddit.
It’s not a publicity strategy; it’s just who Lauv is. He describes himself as the kid who was a little “weird,” who had a custom banner for his MySpace page that read “Be Yourself,” who wrote love songs before he had a girlfriend and liked sad tunes before he had ever been in a breakup.
Lauv has clearly touched a nerve; his first “playlist,” the 17-track compilation I Met You When I Was 18, has been streamed well over a billion times on Spotify, while his breakout hit “I Like Me Better” brought his first platinum record. He’s booked appearances on late night and morning shows like Jimmy Fallon’s, performed at this month’s Teen Choice Awards and topped Billboard‘s Emerging Artist chart. He’s written for Demi Lovato and opened for Ed Sheeran. The 24-year-old singer-songwriter is well on his way up pop’s ladder as a sensitive, keyed-in new voice, a trajectory he seems to take as a pleasant surprise.
For Lauv, that humility also translates into success with his fans. “Kids can tell if you’re being genuine or not,” he explains now over an egg white omelette breakfast, fresh off a morning TV performance in New York City. “I don’t think the world needs more role models of people trying to be something they’re not. I’ve always hated the feeling of trying to be cool or trying to fit in.” He’s wearing a ring in the shape of a lion’s head, nabbed from a local jewelry shop; “Lauv” means “lion” in Latvian, where his mother’s family is from. But Lauv — real name Ari Leff — comes across as a friendlier kind of cat, all big eyes and open heart.
Born in California, Lauv spent his early childhood in a suburb of Atlanta, GA before his family relocated outside of Philadelphia, PA. “My tactic for when I got to a new school was to just be really goofy, be really weird, and try to break all barriers as fast as possible,” he explains. In other words, Lauv — whose music hits a sweet spot filled with nostalgia, full of relatable specifics of youth and memorable college years over moody electro-pop production — prepped from a young age for an experience of being his most honest self in public.
It wasn’t until he picked up a guitar in middle school that Lauv’s transition to full-fledged artist began. From there, he started writing songs — “really bad songs,” he says now. His taste growing up was diverse, from classic rock to Atlanta hip-hop, but he always gravitated to the “sad songs, the emotional songs.” In turn, the music he wrote tended to center on breakups. “My dad used to drive me and my band to our shows, and he’d be like, what am I missing here, you don’t even have a girlfriend!” Lauv laughs now.
By high school, he started playing in bands that performed to empty venues. They’d book the shows themselves, and Lauv was involved in every production element, down to the lighting. “It was good practice,” he says, but it wasn’t exactly a fast track to stardom. Eventually, he lost confidence in himself as a performing artist.
“I was putting myself out there all the time, and I wasn’t really seeing much response,” he says. He decided to pivot to a behind-the-scenes role in the music world, looking into college programs for sound engineering and production.
Even the concept of going to New York City felt intimidating — until he visited NYU and decided to give it a shot after all. Spending his first two years as a studio intern for Jungle City Studios, Lauv soon got used to seeing celebrities stroll through: Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Timbaland and Jessie J were all recording while he was running errands and fulfilling their specific rider requests, from high-end candles to luxury waters. But Lauv didn’t begrudge the artists their needs: “Any one thing can get in the way of you and your brain being comfortable and being inspired,” he says. “It’s the difference between a really big song and a song that never existed.” He should know best; his breakout hit — and ensuing solo career — almost didn’t happen at all.
Lauv performs during the 2018 Outside Lands Music and Arts festival at Golden Gate Park on August 10, 2018 in San Francisco, California.
Lauv had been writing songs to pitch to other artists, trying to get on the radar of managers by sending cold emails, when he wrote “The Other.” Right away, he knew it was different. He ended up pulling an all-nighter in the school library to finish producing it, discovering what’s now his “sound” of stripped-down electronic pop “kind of by accident.” When he finally uploaded “The Other” to Soundcloud in 2015, he was studying abroad in Prague. The attention from blogs and aggregators like HypeMachine was a complete surprise.
“The Other” is a classic breakup song: “Who wrote the book on goodbye?” he sings. “There’s never been a way to make this easy.” The just-electronic-enough production and mid-tempo beat propelled it to earworm status; that one has over 170 million Spotify streams alone. (Lauv says now that his dream collaborator is Chris Martin of Coldplay, and you can easily imagine the two creating a worthy sequel to seminal sad song “Fix You.”) Then there’s “I Like Me Better,” with nearly half a billion streams. It’s a sweet, stripped-down piece of music, a crush in song form boosted with some smart dolphin-like chords and propelled by Lauv’s gentle tenor.
Fast forward to summer of 2018, and Lauv is a platinum artist. He’s toured as an opener for Ed Sheeran in Asia and will be opening for Sheeran again this fall in the U.S., while he begins work on a new project and pursues his own headline tour. And while he’s set up a home base in L.A., he keeps coming back to New York City. His first stop is always the Mexican restaurant in midtown where he once served as a waiter. “I love nostalgia,” he says; it’s what he mines for stories in his lyrics, and it’s something that his legion of fans turn to him for, seeking an honest perspective on young love, growing up and feeling loss. For his twenty-fourth birthday in August, Lauv was touched with fans’ “Blue Thoughts” tributes.
“You guys give me positivity on days I can’t seem to find any,” he captioned his birthday Instagram post. “I f–king love you to death and am blown away by your hearts and minds and I mean it.” If Lauv is any indication, being real — insecurities and all — is the new cool.

TOTLB, Thinking Outside The Long Box, is a pop culture podcast and in a recent episode, they talked with Jorja Fox about Memento, Roll With Me, and a new movie!
3022 is a SciFi movie and Omar Epps, Kate Walsh, Angus McFadden, and Sonya Walger. And yes, Jorja.
If you ask me, Memento totally holds up, even though it’s twenty years old, and the only part that makes it feel dated is the use of Polaroids.

So sayeth the Mage of Incredible Age to our young, supple hero of indeterminate gender.
After five twenty-minute long cutscenes, hero of indeterminate gender walks two steps… to be greeted by another set of boring cutscenes describing how to talk to people. HOIG already got told how to in a tutorial at the beginning. It’s the A button. HOIG presses A but the cutscenes still continue. It takes forty minutes this time for the deluge to end.
AND THEN THE CUTSCENES START AGAIN!
The real-life HOIG throws the 3DS down and goes outside.

Working on the baby production line is a blast. We pump them out by the million, all with a number-name printed on their tiny little foreheads.
From January to today the number scheme has been 16 with 66 being rolled out. People prefer fresh-off-the-line babies, often discarding older models. The 66 reg line will introduce a number of requested features including more genderless babies. As we are evolving towards a genderless society I feel this is a step in the right direction.
While working on the line may be a blast, it also has its disdvantages. They are prone to puke in my face and I always dread it being my turn to clean the meco off the production line.
Ah well, whatever gets me paid.

In a bid to try and deflect criticism of his recent slip of the tongue at a rally in Buffalo, New York, Donald Trump went to his local 7/11.

“Where’s Ali Bongo?” he asked.

About 5 years ago I entered International Garden Photographer of the Year (IGPOTY) and immediately regretted it. I’d recently bought my first digital SLR camera, had taken some entirely average photos, and entered the competition without much thought. Annoyingly, I’d entered an art competition when I have always believed that there is no competition in art. There can’t be. Once a certain level of technical competency is reached it’s entirely down to who is doing the judging and what image catches their eye on that particular day. On a different day they might choose a different image. A different judging panel would probably choose a different set of images. It’s a flawed concept. The winning images of IGPOTY/LPOTY/BIRDPOTY/OPOTY/SLPOTY etc are no better and no worse than many of those who ‘failed’ at the first hurdle. It just depends who is doing the judging.
I struggle with the money these competitions make, and I worry that perfectly good photographers, who consider not being one of those chosen makes them somehow a less good photographer which is very not the case. Hopefully their enthusiasm for this wonderful art form won’t wane.
Leave competitions to sport where you can have a winner and an also ran.
The photos are my entries for IGPOTY 2011. Oi… no laughing at the back!

The JMSC and Agence France-Presse (AFP) have signed an agreement to cooperate on areas such as student internships, talks by media professionals and the translation of ethical guidelines.
The agreement was signed at AFP’s Hong Kong office on 4 November between Keith Richburg, JMSC director, and Philippe Massonnet, AFP Asia-Pacific director.
JMSC students will now have more opportunities to intern at the news agency, use its video footage in broadcast news production projects, and hear from experienced AFP journalists in industry talks.
‘AFP has an international reputation for journalistic excellence, particularly so here in Asia, so I’m excited about this new partnership that will give JMSC students access to AFP journalists, the chance to use AFP video while learning TV production skills, and the opportunity to work as interns in bureaux,’ said Keith Richburg.
‘We are also very excited to assist in publishing AFP’s code of ethical standards into Chinese, which we believe will make a long lasting impact on journalism,’ Richburg added.
Under the agreement, the JMSC will translate and publish simplified and traditional Chinese versions of the set of ethical guidelines for journalists—Editorial Standards and Best Practices—which AFP published in English, French and Spanish earlier this year.
‘AFP is proud of this partnership with Hong Kong University, which has some of the most outstanding journalist graduates in the Asia-Pacific region’, said Philippe Massonnet.
AFP is a global news agency with 2,326 staff spread across almost every country in the world, providing news coverage 24 hours a day in six languages.

But officials deny in court filings that lockdowns are punishment that is decided by race. They contend that inmates align themselves with gangs based on race and ethnic group, and that prison officials seek to control violence among those gangs.
U.S. District Judge Troy L. Nunley's ruling Wednesday says it is "undisputed" that California has statewide lockdown policies that utilize race, and found "any assertion denying the existence of the [California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's] policy to be insincere at the very least."
There was no immediate comment by the corrections department, but in past statements, agency officials have called management of gang-related violence "complex and challenging." Because the litigation is now a class action, losing the case would force California to change its prison gang control strategies statewide.
"If wardens did not have the discretion to lock down racial groups after such a race-based incident, they would either have to lock down all inmates in the affected area, or risk further violence by inmates associated with the involved inmates," associate prisons director Kelly Harrington testified last year.
Nevertheless, a corrections official said Wednesday the lockdown policy was being revised, the second time in two years. "We want to be as race-neutral as possible," said spokeswoman Terry Thornton.
The case stems from a 2008 court complaint filed by inmate Robert Mitchell, who protested that because he is African American he was repeatedly subjected to lockdowns at High Desert State Prison that confined him to his cell. Mitchell alleged prison officials said it was state policy that "when there is an incident involving any race, all inmates of that race are locked up."
Other plaintiffs have since joined the litigation, and are now represented by the Prison Law Office and the Bingham McCutcheon law firm.
Nunley denied California's motion to dismiss the case in February. The class he certified Wednesday consists of about 125,000 male inmates in the California prison system.
California's controversial race-based prison practices are unique among states. The U.S. Justice Department intervened in the case in October, telling the court California's racial lockdowns were inconsistent with federal practices, ineffective, and based on "generalized fears of racial violence."
After a 2004 U.S. Supreme Court battle over the state's long-standing practice of segregating inmates upon arrival, California agreed to end the practice. Instead, inmates now are asked whether they will accept housing with those of other races.
In 2012, the state rewrote its lockdown policies, while a California appeals court ordered a halt to the race-based policies at one prison, maximum-security Pelican Bay, after a three-year lockdown triggered by a riot between northern and southern Mexican gangs. Inmates at Pelican Bay were being denied family visits, issued housing and work assignments and assigned yard times — all based on their race.
Rebekah Evenson of the Prison Law Office contends that the changes have been on paper alone, that inmates remain segregated even when they indicate they will accept mixed-race housing, and that lockdowns are still applied by race.
"There is a deep-seated mentality that has to change. Our case challenges the most harsh implications of that culture," she said. "But unless there is a fundamental culture shift, these ugly practices are going to continue."

Summary: Fast paced crime drama that might just make you think twice about the hoodies on the corner… or at least about how/why they came to be there.
Books and their covers, we'll never learn will we? In this case I was taken in not by the jacket design which, to be honest, would have had me by-passing it as a cheapo-teeno, but by that sneaky line at the bottom "Author of Damaged Goods". "Oh excellent" I thought, "I enjoyed that". Except, I haven't actually read it. It was another book of the same name, by a completely different author.
On the other hand, I did recognise Helen Black's name and her protagonist (Lilly Valentine) – the one I had read was Dishonour – and just for the record, I gave that one 4 stars too.
Now I should point out that I'm reviewing an advance copy and both design and wording might well change before it hits the shelves (and legally I'm not allowed to quote from the book at all, but that does make reviewing it slightly tricky). That being so, you might wonder why I'm bothering with this rambling intro.
One: I want to underline the old maxim. Please don't judge a book by its cover. Publishers get it well wrong sometimes.
Two: I want publishers to sit up and take note that sometimes they do their authors a disservice on book jacket design – but of course, they're not to know that unless we tell them. Book reviewers have privileged access in this arena, we get to see them ahead of time on occasion – so if you've got a view: make it known. (I know that some major publishing houses do pre-publication test runs of suggested designs, but you can't really know until you've read the book).
Thanks for the indulgence – on with the review!
Blood Rush is the fourth book from Helen Black in the Lilly Valentine series.
Lilly has had the baby she was expecting in the last book, and daughter Alice is the child from hell. Sweet and angelic with just about anyone other than her mum, she won't sleep at night, is prone to screaming fits and about as disruptive to a previously one-parent, one-child household as a baby could be. Fortunately father Jack (copper, ex-boyfriend, current status indeterminate) is welcome to come and lend a hand whenever he can spare the time. Of course, Alice adores him. Equally fortunately, first-born and now teenage son, Sam, is unbelievably cool about his baby sis. Just to round it off, Lilly and Sam's father are also on speaking and son-sharing terms (and sod his new girlfriend!).
Ah, if only families managed their dysfunction this well in the real world.
So far, so much disbelief suspended.
And that's about as far as you'll be called upon to do so. The rest of the story is frighteningly believable.
This might be Luton rather than London, but think "The Bill". Think the Jasmine Allen estate or the Larkmead or whichever of your own local estates rings most true with those TV constructs. This is the backdrop for Lilly Valentine's latest case.
Our lawyer heroine has sworn off representing 'kids from care' (as just too downright dangerous) and is trying to focus on nice easy divorce litigation. But she's as disorganised as ever. Her latest temp agency secretary didn't last long enough to take her coat off. When she mistakes the next person through the door as a replacement (rather than the client she actually is) she finds herself drawn back into the dark world of damaged children and the harm they go on to cause.
Malaya was on her jump in. A simple task: get into the neighbouring crew's territory, do a bit of painting, leave your mark and get out. An initiation rite where no-one gets hurt. Unless you get caught.
Malaya got caught, and got hurt, real bad.
Lilly Valentine was right when she said she didn't want to do this stuff anymore. It really doesn't fit with her quaint cottage, up-market friends, loving (if unconventional) family. But, you don't always get what you want, and sometimes you do what you need to do.
What Lilly needs to do is help Tanisha. Fifteen years old, in a stable(ish) foster home, and pregnant, Tanisha was there when Malaya was brought down. She saw what happened, according to a witness she was directly involved, but that witness might just have an agenda of her own.
A cross-story involves a pretty little rich boy, public school gay and scared to admit it, and his descent into the dark shiney alleyways of crystal meth. While not immediately relevant and crossing in a way that might seem slightly contrived, it does give Black an angle to file down the glamour of the gang world, to terminally roughen the edges into reality.
This is the gangsta world, as played out on the streets of Britain. Bunches of kids who don't know how lucky they are, in a world where adults don't know (don't want to know, haven't got time to know) what they have to deal with, trying to sort it for themselves. Girl gangs in the UK are not yet anywhere near the issue they are in some parts of the world, but believe me, we're working on catching up. Sadly. Helen Black uses a simple story to try to make us all think about this. When I said this looked like a cheapo-teeno book that I'd normally have ignored, maybe that's deliberate. Maybe I'm not the target audience. Maybe this should be read by the young girls on the edges, those who haven't yet jumped one way or the other.
As ever, Black has produced a gripping tale of crime and judgement (not necessarily punishment). She has an ear for street language and a sharp insight into the toughness and vulnerability of children, gender and class notwithstanding. Her take on police and court procedures ring true enough. The general pace is fast, the tension and twists work when they need to. It is by turns gentle, nasty, flippant, violent, thought-provoking and despair-inducing. The touches of humour are black, when they're not truly bleak, but they are there.
In common with the previous installment, Blood Rush is both an enjoyable romp of a crime thriller and a serious indictment of modern society, with clear side-swipes at issues of class and racial integration (or lack of). It has none of the structural weakness of the previous episode and the much more straightforward approach serves the subject matter well.
Enjoy the original now – it's only a matter of time before Lilly Valentine makes it to the small screen.
Further reading suggestion: You might want to get acquainted with LV in the previous episode, or if you want another feisty female lead this time in the 1960s underworld, check out that other Damaged Goods by June Hampson.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Visitors are invited to meet photographer Kahlee Brighton of the Wildflower Conservancy and learn about the spectacular array of local wildflowers at a lecture from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 21. Part of the National Park Service's free lecture series, "Capturing Ephemeral Beauty: A Celebration of California's Wildflowers," will be at the National Park Service Visitor Center, 401 W. Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks.
Brighton will concentrate on the diversity of wildflowers in the Santa Monica Mountains and other local ranges and will give tips about wildflower photography. Her work can be viewed at www.wildflowerconservancy.org.
"A very important goal of my work is to encourage people to enjoy these seasonal beauties in their native habitats respectfully so that they are preserved for future generations," Brighton said.
The presentation will be of particular interest both to photographers and those who enjoy learning more about preserving our local wildflowers. While the presentation will not deal specifically with setting up native plant gardens, gardeners wanting to add to their native plant landscapes can take note of beautiful blooms to research at their local native plant nursery.
Call the National Park Service Visitor Center for more information: 805-370-2301.

This was part of Eakkawut Pattarajare's research work under supervision of Dr.Tanet Aroonsrisopon.
This activity was performed using AVL-FIRE, a CFD software tool for advanced engine simulation, licensing under the University Partnership Program agreement between Kasetsart University and AVL GmbH.
The System Dynamics and Controls area seeks to promote research and education into identifying fundamental principles and methodologies that enable systems to exhibit intelligent, goal-oriented behavior, and developing innovative instruments to monitor, manipulate, and control systems. Our focus is on a system-level behavior emerging primarily from interactions - unexplainable from individual component behavior alone.
Winning an honorable mention in the 2009 KU Innovation awards, this invention was created by Kittipong Yaovaja and Kittinun Prasertsom under supervision of Dr.Withit Chatlatanagulchai.
The Applied Mechanics area is applied to the characterization of mechanical components, structures, systems and materials linear and nonlinear vibrations, dynamics, and acoustics, with applications in advanced materials, biomechanics and biological materials, mechanics of manufacturing processes, noise and vibration control in suspensions, brakes, and other automotive/aerospace systems, experimental model identification for multi-body systems, and structural health monitoring for prognosis of stationary devices, ground vehicles, and other mechanical components.
Faculty and students in the Applied Mechanics area conduct both basic and applied research. Basic research advances our fundamental understanding of both experimental and theoretical mechanics. Applied research involves the development of mechanical components that are more compact and lighter, as well as more efficient and longer lasting. Applied research could also involve the development of measurement and prediction methodologies for assessing the destructive effects of operating loads and the environment in mechanical materials and systems, for example, in automotive suspensions and body armor.
Design and Manufacturing activities include the design and manufacturing of machines, systems, products, mechanisms and processes. This research area seeks to educate a new generation of versatile innovators by integrating entrepreneurship, creativity, design, prototyping, manufacturing, and systems with new, leading-edge techniques and processes for design, manufacturing, and product development. A wide range of research activities are conducted at Research and Development institute of Production Technology (RDiPT).

The board of beleaguered education group Vocation has placed the company in administration after being unable to raise funds to continue the business.
Peter Gothard of Ferrier Hodgsonhas been appointed voluntary administrator. The company said in a statement that senior management "intend to work with Mr Gothard to explore all options to allow the operating entities to continue as going concerns to protect the interests of students, employees and other stakeholders".
The announcement comes just days after Vocation said it had secured a $4.2 million "contribution" from the founders of some of the companies that were merged to form Vocation.
Mr Gothard said between 10,000 and 12,000 students in Victoria, NSW, Queensland and Western Australia were affected by the collapse while there were 180 staff at Vocation.
The colleges, which include Avana, Real Institute and the Consumer Service Institute of Australia, could soon be closed as Ferrier Hodgson conducted an emergency review of Vocation and its subsidiaries.
"We are conducting an urgent assessment of the business to see if it has any prospects and we will make a determination in the next day or so," Mr Gothard said.
The company also planned to raise at least $4 million via an equity placement. Vocation also said it had reached an in-principle agreement with its bank group to amend its senior debt facilities if the equity placement was successful.
Vocation's share price reached $3.40 in late September 2014 before crashing to below 10¢ after it was stripped of almost $20 million in funding by Victorian authorities over poor-quality training in two of its Victorian businesses, which have since been disbanded. A staggering $700 million was wiped off the value of the company.
Chief executive Stewart Cummins, was appointed in March to clean up the business but the impact of the closures of its subsidiaries BAWM and Aspin – both businesss were stripped of their registrations and government funding for breaching quality standards – proved impossible to deal with. .
Vocation's shareholders include founder Brett Whitford and the Future Fund.
The company operated four different registered training organisations, including Learning Verve, Avana Learning, Training and Development Australia and Real Institute.

The first Nobu hotel in London marries Japanese and East London aesthetics with aplomb. Don’t miss the cavernous sub-level restaurant, which manages to make you feel like you’re in both Tokyo and London at the same time.
On a quiet side road just off the bustling Great Eastern Street, which is full of restaurants, bars and creative agencies. It’s under a 10-minute walk to Old Street station; five to Shoreditch High Street.
Elements of Japonism reign – everything from the latticing behind reception to the gold and rattan shoji screens above the booths in the peaceful lobby – with hints of industrial London in the form of concrete walls, globe lighting and blinds painted by local artists. The palette of greys, navies and gold is a soothing break from the now ubiquitous exposed brick and filament light bulb look in this area, which is ironically referenced in a brick wall mural in the lobby. The sense of ceremony, especially in the restaurant, also reminds you of the brand’s heritage – on entering the restaurant all the staff, including the chefs working behind the open kitchen, shout “irasshaimase”, welcome in Japanese.
The service seemed a bit unsteady and unsure when I checked in at the end of the soft opening period, but everyone was approachable and helpful. By contrast, staff in the restaurant were polished, smooth and commanding, though pre-prandial cocktails took a while to arrive.
Facilities will include a Pilates studio, treatment rooms and a Technogym, all slated to open in September 2017.
Entry-level Deluxe rooms utilise space well, with a king-sized bed and mini dining table with ottomans along one wall (in-room dining is available 24/7), and a bento box-like, gold-lacquered cabinet on the other, which houses a television and minibar. Street-facing floor-to-ceiling windows, screened by a choice of a mural-covered blind or a separate slatted door, bring in light, though they don’t get much sun owing to the narrow road on which the hotel is located. Spaceship-like white bathrooms feature walk-in showers, Natura Bissé products and a gloriously blingy gold-plated sink.
Upgrade to higher level rooms for more space (including a comfy love seat), or the speciality suites for kitchenettes, balconies and freestanding bathtubs.
Head down the gold, back-lit grand staircase and you'll find the cavernous sub-level bar and restaurant, which continues the blend of urban (concrete floors, walls and pillars; house music wafting from the DJ decks) with classic Japan (there’s a Japanese garden; the bar’s wall is full of whiskies and sake; and the open kitchen is lined with a 10-seater sushi bar).
Purists will be happy that the Japanese and South American-inflected menu consists of the classics, including an unrivalled, rainbow-coloured selection of sushi and sashimi, squid ‘pasta’ and wagyu steaks. And, of course, the inimitable, umami-laden Black Cod Den Miso, Nobu’s signature dish, which has been satisfying customers since the restaurant’s inception, and still continues to do so.
Make it downstairs for breakfast – it’s the first Nobu restaurant in London to offer it – which includes a fun take on a traditional full English and eggs ‘Matsuhisa’ Benedict (with tofu and snow crab), plus heavier American brunch-style hybrids such as fried chicken with matcha waffles, and pork sliders.
Double rooms from £249 year-round, excluding breakfast (hot dishes from £11). Free Wi-Fi. Dinner isn’t cheap (sushi from £4 per piece; small dishes from around £20), but the lunch sets offer decent value (from £32).
The vibe feels grown-up, but there are roll-out beds and cots for children. There is also a kids’ welcome kit on arrival.
10-50 Willow Street, London EC2A 4BH, United Kingdom.

Graduate from high school and you will earn one million dollars in your lifetime.
Graduate from college and you will earn an addition million dollars in your lifetime.
You will have more opportunities if you are bilingual, so learn English quickly and continue to develop Spanish as well.
Through sponsors such as Wells Fargo and HEB, along with the support of Spanish media such as Univision Television, Border Media, Univision Radio and ¡ahora sí!, Feria Para Aprender had a record crowd this year of over 7,700 parents and students. That’s more than the first two years combined!
Along with gathering information from organizations that served students from early childhood through college grduation, parents were also able to receive free immunizations from Austin Care Van and free vision screenings from Wal-Mart. Austin ISD also provided parents with an opportunity to see a mock bilingual education classroom, participate in science experiments, and sign up for ParentConnection, an online resource that allows parents to view their children’s grades, attendance records and behavioral reports.
Another highlight for many families was the Reading Garden, where children could take home Spanish children’s books and see presentations by Proyecto Teatro. The whole day was topped off with free healthy snacks provided by Seton Family of Hospitals.
As part of the planning committee for the second year, it has truly been a pleasure to see this event grow and develop into the community effort it was this year. It is very rare and truly inspiring to see representatives from different media outlets take a break from the competition to serve the needs of this community. The consistent involvement from Austin ISD also shows parents and students that education does not end in the classroom.

"How about I ignore you and just die?"
The blaster wavered for a moment, then went dead steady.
"I don't think you really want that."
He didn't even try moving in the bonds. What happened, just happened.
"Fine, I'll help you. It wouldn't matter if you got rid of me anyway."
The gunman untied the bonds, En'de picking his mask up and readjusting it but not putting it on. The cold metal face glaring at the other as he worked.
"You made the right choice." said Hakibas.
"That still has yet to prove itself." replied En'de with a bit of a smirk on his face.
"I assure you it will prove itself in do time."
"Then what is your brillent plan umm..."
"My name is Hakibas. And my plan," he holstered his blaster."is we will first need to clean up miss mess over there," Hakibas motioned toward Mara, "then we go to Mos Espa. Thats were I saw the Jedi headed. When we ge there and find out what they're doing we can continue to plan."
Hakibas picked up the rifle that was behind him and handed it to En'de.
He didn't argue about the rifle, not about to waste shells. He walked out a little.
"You might as well take the lead mate. You're more interested in these Jedi then I am."
Hakibas and En'de burnt the remains of Mara. After they had gathered their supplies they headed out of the cave.
"So how do you suppose we are going to catch up with them if they're a day ahead and a few clicks away and most likely already at Mos Espa?" asked En'de.
"You'll see." and then Hakibas took a small device out of one of his utility pouches and pressed the button on it's side. There was a slight rumble and then En'de noticed a ship come streaking into the planets atmosphere. It had a long body with two wings that folded up upon landing. Hakibas led him to the rear of the ship and then pushed another button on the device. There was a hissing noise and the back of the freighter opened up to reveal a boarding ramp. Another noise was heard from inside, a slight rumble. Two speeder bikes floated out and parked themselves next to the bounty hunters.
"Why don't we just take the ship?" asked En'de.
"That'll look a little conspicuous don't you think? Besides," Hakibas hopped on the bike and started the main engine and smiled inside his helmet, "these are a lot of fun." He pressed down the throttle peddle with his foot and zoomed off into the distance.
"If you say so..." And En'de did the same.
Traviss and Kylve looked everywhere for their ship, but nothing was found. Both of them looked on their way around different landing pads, to see if maybe someone stole it and never left.........fat chance.
Creatures were dealing illegal drugs in the alleyways of Mos Espa. Dirty aliens gambling in tarps, as if they were to be descrete. The city of Mos Espa was truly a vile place to be, especially if your a jedi.
They stopped and Kylve commented, "welp........this is it......" Traviss and Kylve had walked for 2 hours among the large crowd of poeple scuffling the streets, and had finally found the very hangar bay that they landed their ship on. It was a full circle landing pad, and along with a lot of other pads, there was a sign across the bottom reading, "Rojuks Welcome Matt". The owner didnt seem to be anywhere around at this point.
All 6 landing bay held different ships, but none of them belonged to the jedi.
"Damnit, I knew this would happen.........I knew we shouldnt have come on this mission. Mos Espa is filled with scavengers looking for ship parts." Kylve got angery with himself along with the dirty city of Mos Espa. "Dont worry, we'll find it." Traviss said to him. "We'll find this scavenger...........jedi have a way of ending up in places they dont like to be in."
"True. So very true my friend," replied Klyve, "But I wonder how they broke our access codes and activate it without use of the force." "Regardless," said Traviss as they left the hangars, "We'll find it soon but for the meantime let us eat something." "You're probably right," responded Klyve, "We should also find somewhere where we can lay low until we get our ship back before the bounty hunters find us. Also, I need to repair the you-know-what."

Investors will check to see if a business has healthy spending habits.
If you are considering raising money from investors down the road, watch how you spend money today.
1. Traction. Have you made real progress given the resources you’ve already burned?
2. Thrift. Did you make every dollar count or spend money frivolously? Are you overly concerned with image items like office space and letterhead, especially before there is a product to sell?
3. Measurement. When money is spent, are results measured and unproductive expenses cut quickly?
4. Skin in the game. Have you invested heavily in your own idea? “Heavily” will vary with means. Cash and sweat equity both count, but cash is more noteworthy. Using personal capital to get family and friends to invest earns partial credit.
5. Sacrifice. Does your personal gain come primarily from salary and benefits, or when the company succeeds? Paying yourself at par with your old corporate job is not sacrifice.
6. Reporting. Is the accounting set up correctly? Are processes developed to control spending? Are financials reviewed regularly and adjustments made?
7. Accountability. Who within the organization or on your board holds you accountable for good fiscal management?
8. Uses. How will new capital be spent? Are these proven investments such as marketing programs with known customer acquisition costs, or are you just hoping the money will help? Please don’t say the funds are necessary to make next week’s payroll!
Investors will assume your past habits are a good indication of future behavior. Lack of financial discipline creates an objection for future investors, while building a frugal and financially responsible organization will demonstrate good management and position your business for funding.

dc.description.abstract The collection of books and manuscripts by and about Samuel Johnson (1709–1784) brought together primarily by Alfred Hamish Reed and held by the Dunedin Public Library, New Zealand, is the largest collection of Johnsoniana held by a public institution in Australasia. This thesis describes the nature, history, and composition of Reed’s Johnson collection, a hitherto unexamined aspect of his book-collecting practices. Its aims are to explore the reasons why the collection was developed by Reed, how it was brought together, and to highlight some of the more interesting aspects of what might be considered the remotest Johnson collection in the world. Chapter topics include a biographical profile of Reed, a brief history of Johnson as a locus for collecting, how the Reed Johnson collection was amassed, highlights of the collection, and an examination of Reed's extra-illustrated copy of Boswell's "Life of Samuel Johnson". Three appendixes follow the main body: a catalogue of the collection's eighteenth-century books and manuscripts, a descriptive list of material included in Reed's extra-illustrated Boswell, and an institutional census of other extra-illustrated copies of Boswell's "Life of Samuel Johnson".

International Center for Applied Studies in Information Technology, ICASIT, SPG’s “geek” center, is about to celebrate his 25th birthday. Prof. Steve Ruth, the founder and director of the center, believes that ICASIT has been successful because it has always stayed focused on its mission: studying the efficiency of various Information and Communication Technology (ICT) activities. “We are interested in the ROI of everything”, says Ruth, “from our early examination of expert systems, kiosks and BITNET (Internet predecessor) to our current emphasis on massive open online courses (MOOCs), social media, blogs and Internet deployment in poor countries.” ICASIT has always been a place for internships. During the past year alone there have been four student interns, developing ICT databases for online courses and working on other ICT tasks. The first ICASIT intern, John Redman, started a business in Alexandria in the early 90’s called the Redmon Group, which is now one of the most significant providers of multimedia services in the region. (Redmon Group is also celebrating its 25th anniversary) “ICASIT really helped me get started”, says Redmon, who developed CAP Build, an early planning system for the United Nations, when he was at ICASIT. Over the years ICASIT has received over two dozen grants from entrepreneurs, state agencies and especially from foundations. Several million dollars of funding came from the Andrew W Mellon Foundation in New York, for implementing overseas Internet programs in poor nations and also for studies of the Return on Investment of on line college teaching. Ruth is especially proud of the interest that has been generated from the ICASIT web site, which has written messages in five languages—French, Arabic, Chinese, Korean and Spanish–to greet visitors, in addition to his welcoming video in English. Over its history ICASIT has worked with dozens of partners and clients worldwide.
As to the future, Ruth is hoping to leverage a very successful project in central Nepal into a large grant proposal over the coming months. The Nepal wireless project began with a small investment in a tiny village and has now blossomed into a full-scale not-for-profit Internet service provider (ISP) which serves dozens of schools and hospitals with education, medical information and much more—an early app was an online yak bartering site. “I’m really proud of the Nepal project, because ICASIT assisted in several material ways, and now they have a full-fledged ISP.” Ruth has worked with the founder of the project, Mr. Mahabir Pun, who received the Magsaysay Award for community development, often dubbed the “Asian Nobel Prize” for his efforts. When Mr. Pun was at ICASIT in Arlington last year he visited Dean Mark Rozell and several other University officials. At the time Dean Rozell commented ”This is an amazing achievement—I hope we can find more ways to work together.” Professor Ruth would agree.

Twenty-five years after Bash & Pop’s rollicking and underrated 1992 debut album, Friday Night is Killing Me, Tommy Stinson’s short-lived post-Replacements gang is following the ‘Mats’ lead by getting back together. Well, actually in name only. But unlike the apparently-already-kaput Replacements rehash, Bash & Pop are recording and releasing a brand new album.
Set for release January 20th on Fat Possum Records, Anything Could Happen features Stinson as the only holdover from the 1992 lineup of the group; instead, a ragtag, largely little known assemblage including Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars), Steve Selvidge (The Hold Steady), Joe Sirois. Tony Kieraldo, Cat Popper and Justin Perkins (Screeching Weasel) contributed to the album. For an upcoming tour (dates still to be announced), Selvidge, Sirois and Perkins will join Stinson.
In other news, Sire/Reprise will be releasing Friday Night Is Killing Me on vinyl for the first time on Jan. 24th.

Legitimate charities can be verified through the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance.
En español | When disaster strikes, many Americans are quick to help the victims. But in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) this week warned charitable Americans to be cautious of scams that turn donations into ill-gotten gains.
Be especially alert to charities that seem to spring up overnight in connection with a current event, the FTC added. Legitimate charities can be verified through the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance, Charity Navigator, Charity Watch or GuideStar.
Designate the disaster so you can ensure your funds are going to disaster relief rather than to a general fund.
Never click on links or open attachments in an email unless you know who sent it.
Don’t assume that charity messages posted on social media are legitimate.
When texting to donate, confirm the number with the source before you donate.
Victims of the storm and flooding are urged to contact their insurance companies to ask what steps should be taken to assess the damage.

Last year the UK Government announced that companies with more than 250 employees would have a year to work out their gender pay gap from April 2017.
The deadline for reporting this data is now on our doorstep.
Large UK businesses have known for some time that they would eventually be forced to start calculating and reporting their gender pay gap. The results are expected to demonstrate a persistent pay gap across the board.
But before we can truly understand what the publication of this data will mean for organisations here in Wales and the position of women in business, first we must grasp what the gender pay gap really represents.
The pay gap and equal pay have become very familiar terms in the media, particularly over the last year. A number of recent high-profile cases involving major national organisations have started to shed light on the extent of pay disparity in the UK, and the subject has become a significant point of interest in the public sphere.
The gender pay gap and equal pay are, however, not the same thing. Equal pay refers to the same pay for the same or similar work and is enforceable under the Equal Pay Act 1970. The gender pay gap measures the difference in average earnings between men and women and provides an indication of the extent to which the types of jobs women are doing are impacting on their earning potential.
In order to meet the legal requirements of gender pay gap reporting, around 9,000 firms will have to submit their gender pay gap calculations to a Government website by April 4, or by March 30 for public sector organisations.
As it stands, the gender pay gap is at almost 15% overall in Wales, but it is as high as 30% in some sectors such as advanced materials and manufacturing.
Women's employment is concentrated in low-paid areas of the economy, and this divide extends even further to the Welsh Government's nine priority sectors for supporting investment. In 2014, some 30% of women in work were employed in a priority sector, compared to 56% of men.
These figures also show that not enough women are being promoted to the more senior, high-paid roles, and that women are most likely to be in part-time employment. Here in Wales, 80% of part-time workers are women.
A particular issue for women in work is under-utilisation, which is when employees have skills and qualifications above those required for their current role.

During these lazy days of August, your vegetable garden might be overrun with what looks like green baseball bats. It's a common scene this time of year, when the beach beckons and tending the vegetables feels like a chore. But if you can, try to avoid letting your zucchini grow too large. When it is not harvested in time, zucchini will bloat with water and become bland.
When harvested at its ideal size, about 1 to 1-1/2 inches in diameter, zucchini has a delicate, yet distinct, flavor. Zucchini is prized for its versatility, as it fares well in pastas, soups, breads, and even desserts. Cooks relish the challenge of coming up with interesting new recipes that bring out the best in this summer squash, which is technically a fruit, but treated as a vegetable in the culinary world.
Lynette Raap is an avid cook and gardener who never tires of zucchini. As a co-owner with her husband of a community supported agricultural (CSA) farm in Burlington, Vt., Ms. Raap hauls home 15 to 20 pounds of zucchini per week.
She can hardly wait to start slicing and dicing the glossy green squash. With each week's supply, she digs out her favorite zucchini recipes and gets to work. She might make a sauté of sliced zucchini with garlic, fresh ginger, olive oil, and soy sauce. Or make curried zucchini soup, zucchini pancakes (replacing milk with pureed zucchini), or perhaps a mock apple pie, which substitutes zucchini for apple and used to fool her kids when they were wary of all things green.
When her family gets bored with the old standbys, she often looks for fresh inspiration online, where zucchini recipes are now especially plentiful. Or she turns to her dog-eared copy of "The Classic Zucchini Cookbook," by Nancy Ralston, Marynor Jordan, and Andrea Chesman, where she first stumbled upon that recipe for mock apple pie – or, as the authors dubbed it, "Zapple Pie."
At the Food Project in Lincoln, Mass., a CSA that donates 30 percent of its harvest to six Boston-area shelters, zucchini also has been on the minds and stoves of its members. Many have been whipping up batches of Middle Eastern tabbouleh.
Michael Iceland, spokesman for the Food Project, says the farm's crop was diminished somewhat by spring rains, but that his organization is still harvesting about 400 pounds of zucchini every August morning.
Boston chef Robert Lionette recently baked savory scones, laced with zucchini, corn, and tomatoes, with the Food Project's youth workers. But his favorite way to cook zucchini is simple: grilled, lightly marinated in extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper, fresh herbs, and then chilled. He might add grilled eggplant and red peppers to the cold salad.
At Garden of Eden, the Lionette family's restaurant in Boston, and for their market next door, Mr. Lionette cooks 100 pounds of locally grown zucchini every week in August. The market's biggest seller is his ratatouille, which he makes in two large batches each day, using 10 pounds of zucchini per batch.
"We attract customers who want to eat what's in season," he says. "These days, it's ratatouille. We can't make enough of it!"
This mock apple pie is a delicious way to sneak vegetables into your kids' meals.
To make the filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine zucchini, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Stir to mix and cook until tender, but not mushy, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
In a large measuring cup or a small bowl, mix the flour with the remaining 1/2 cup lemon juice until smooth. Stir into the zucchini mixture. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
To make the topping: Combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the pecans or walnuts.
Spoon the filling into the pie shell. Top with half of the streusel topping. Place in the oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees F. Bake for 30 minutes, until the crust is browned and the filling bubbles.
Sprinkle the remaining topping over the pie. Turn on the broiler. Place pie under the broiler for about 3 minutes, until topping is browned.
Set the pie on a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or completely cooled. It is best served on the day it is made. Serves 6 to 8.
Bring water to a boil in a small pot. Add bulgur and boil, uncovered, for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside until bulgur has absorbed rest of the water, about 15 minutes.
Fluff cooked bulgur with a fork and transfer to a large bowl. Add diced zucchini, bell pepper, and scallions. Toss until combined.
Whisk together dill, parsley, olive oil, and lime juice in a small bowl. Pour dressing over the bulgur and toss until thoroughly combined. Just before serving, sprinkle with cheese. Serve at room temperature. Serves 6.

• The best size to buy, unless you stuff them, are small, skinny zucchinis that are 1 inch or less in diameter.
• Don't buy zucchinis that are larger than 1-1/2 inches in diameter or longer than 6 inches.
• Look for even, bright color and glossy skin; firm, not bendable fruit.
• Soak zucchini in cold water for about 5 minutes, then scrub thoroughly under cold running water. If zucchini still feels gritty, peel it.
• When cut, the flesh should be crisp and show tiny seeds.
• Cut off and discard both ends before using in any recipe.

Payroll service Gusto said it plans to quadruple the size of its engineering staff in Denver in 2018 as the company plans to add new features to its web-based payroll and benefits software aimed at small businesses.
The San Francisco company, which opened an office on 16th Street Mall two years ago with 25 employees, now employs 250 in Denver. But the bulk of its engineering team — or 60 people — are based in San Francisco. Those jobs aren’t moving, said Rachel Kim, a Gusto spokeswoman. This is an expansion.
Gusto made a splash in 2015 when it announced it would open a Denver office. Colorado’s economic development office offered the company, then called ZenPayroll, incentives totaling $17.56 million over eight years. Most of those are tax credits that are contingent on the company hiring 1,750 people.
Gusto employs 500 people nationwide. On its site, the company lists 27 job openings in Denver.

Having lived in Weehawken for over 20 years, I can attest to the town’s beauty. Its small-town quaintness and proximity to New York City accounts for its yuppie appeal. After seeing Linda Yellen’s lifeless The Simian Line, however, I’m ready to move out. The film doesn’t get anything right—curiously, the many shots of New York City’s skyline suggest that there are more interesting things going on across the Hudson. Yellen’s wooden characters are virtual refugees from a Clue board game, walking on the same Boulevard East hundreds of us stood upon when the WTC came tumbling to the ground. The towers are in full-view here, grim reminders of better times and better films. Cradle-robbing Katherine (Lynn Redgrave) and her boy toy Rick (Harry Connick Jr.) host a Halloween party for their Gen X tenants Marta (Monica Keena) and Billy (Dylan Bruno) and pin-up neighbors Sandra (Cindy Crawford) and Paul (Jamey Sheridan). Tyne Daly’s Anita is the party-pooper fortuneteller with an unexplained white powder hanging around her neck (cocaine, I’m sure, which would explain her egregious mood swings). The crazy biddy prognosticates one couple’s romantic demise on her way out the door just as Katherine’s home is invaded by a lame pair of ghosts: flapper Mae (Samantha Mathis) and Katherine’s Southern granddaddy Edward (William Hurt). Katherine is understandably bit by the green-eyed monster (remember, Crawford is her next-door neighbor) while Marta’s Wall Street ex-lover dies off-screen, leaving her and the obnoxious Billy to play daddy and mommy to her little boy. The Simian Line’s notion of a climax: ghosts Mae and Edward coach Marta’s kid into giving Eric Stoltz’ tea-loving social worker the right answers. Stained glass cuts on cue though character run-ins are nowhere near as cutting as they should be. The film’s banal direction is highlighted by awkward character asides that sound like excepts from the film’s upcoming Mystery Science Theater 3000 airing. In fact, you might think Weehawken is the epitome of dorkdom after the chimpanzee-less The Simian Line makes you choke on its old-fashioned, spiritless dust.

More than 100 teams from councils across Australia and New Zealand competed in the LGMA Management Challenge, in which teams undertook tasks that typified management in the local government environment, focused on the attraction and retention of talent and the impact of skill shortages, aging workforce, aging population and demand for services.
Willoughby City Council team completed a pre-challenge task which required the staff to investigate how their council responds to internal and external factors affecting workforce retention. The team then completed a series of eight tasks on the Challenge Day that typified management in the local government environment and included report writing, role-playing, collaborating with other councils and a presentation.

ESTERO, Fla. — No. 10 Texas rode defence to a berth in the championship game of the Gulf Coast Showcase.
Jatarie White scored 16 points and Texas defeated Michigan 69-52 on Saturday night in the semifinals, setting the tone with a 19-0 run in the first quarter.
Texas led 39-14 at the half, and held a double-digit lead for the game’s final 34 minutes.
Audrey Warren scored a career-high 15 points and Sug Sutton finished with 13 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for Texas (5-0), which plays Fordham Sunday in the tournament championship game.
Michigan (4-1) will meet Washington for third place in the eight-team event. Deja Church scored 12 points for the Wolverines, and Amy Dilk added 10.
Michigan shot 17 per cent in the first half and 29 per cent for the game.
Texas moved Warren into the starting lineup in the place of Lashann Higgs, who left Friday’s 56-55 win over Quinnipiac in the first half with a knee injury. Warren — the hero of Friday’s victory after hitting what became the game-winning jumper with just under a minute left — stayed hot Saturday, making six of her nine shots.
Michigan missed 23 of 24 shots in one first-half stretch, including 16 straight over a six-minute stretch of the first quarter. The deficit got to 50-24 midway through the third quarter before the Wolverines went on a small run, peeling off nine straight points to get a bit of momentum.
Kayla Robbins’ layup with 7:42 left got Michigan within 54-41, but the comeback bid essentially ended there. Warren connected on a 3-pointer, Sutton added a three-point play on the next possession and Texas’ lead was back to 19.
Michigan: The Wolverines had barely trailed in any of their first four games this season, facing deficits for less than two minutes out of a possible 160 minutes entering Saturday. They ran out to a 6-2 lead over Texas — and then went ice-cold.
Texas: The Longhorns are 5-0 for the fifth time in seven seasons under Aston. They’ve also won nine consecutive games played in Florida, with the last Texas loss in the Sunshine State coming 17 seasons ago.
Sunday has the final four games of the event on tap, starting with Quinnipiac facing Ball State for seventh place, followed by Duke meeting No. 21 Missouri for fifth place. The Michigan-Washington game will be the third game up Sunday, and then Texas and Fordham play for the title.
Michigan: Faces Washington on Sunday.
Texas: Faces Fordham on Sunday.

Internet Explorer 8 (and earlier) doesn’t understand the new HTML5 elements.
Prior to the HTML5 specification, there didn’t exist any standard way of displaying video content on web sites. Some video tools used the EMBED tag; others used OBJECT — and all required the visitor to download and install a plugin (like QuickTime or RealPlayer).
With the advent of HTML5, there is a new standard way: the VIDEO tag. Support for the VIDEO element is still evolving, so it doesn’t work yet on all browsers.
For more information, visit http://diveintohtml5.info/video.html, from which parts of this posting were taken from (CC license agreement).
Now, with the advent of HTML5, there are many, many new features and choices!
placeholder – <input placeholder=”text text text” type=”text”> will display text in the text box that will disappear when the visitor clicks, tabs, or taps into the field. As an example, Safari by default displays “Google” (or whatever your default search engine is) as placeholder text in the search box until you click into the search box.
input type=number – a special kind of type=”text” specifically for numbers. On browsers that support this, the text box becomes a spin box with up and down arrows to help the visitor pick the desired number.
input type=range - another special kind of type=”text” specifically for numbers. On browsers that support this, the text box becomes a slider to help the visitor pick the desired number.
input type=date/month/week/time/datetime - a special kind of type=”text” specifically for picking a date (currently only supported in the Opera web browser).
input type=search – a special kind of type=”text” specifically for search boxes. In Safari and Chrome, this will cause the normally rectangular shaped box have rounded corners! And, as a visitor starts to type, a little X appears in the right side of the box enabling the visitor to clear the search without deleting.
input type=color – a special kind of type=”text” specifically for picking a color. Currently, this feature only works in the Opera browser.
input required – adding the attribute “required” to an input tag causes the browser to validate the form and display notification to the visitor that the field cannot be empty.
form novalidate – if you don’t want the browser to validate, add the attribute novalidate to the form tag.

Technology infusion at the community college involves decision making for a multitude of audiences and factors. Advances in technology, students with disparate needs, faculty with varying degrees of technological skills, network security threats, infrastructure costs and competition are contributing to a new reality for community college presidents and CIOs. Careful planning is needed on the part of community college leaders to focus technology resources and training opportunities. The plan must address the needs of the entire community college;In this study community colleges with proven interest and leadership in using technology for innovative college curriculum and services were identified and studied. The institutional decision makers behind the technology plans were interviewed to uncover the factors they consider in planning and implementing their successful programs. Feedback from the personal interviews was used to formulate common themes in the area of technology planning. The common themes were incorporated into a Delphi survey instrument that was administered to each of the community college leader participating in the study. Successful college selection was determined by college membership in the League for Innovation in the Community College (The League) organization. Additionally, executive board members from The League were asked to identify community colleges with innovative uses of technology. Another criterion for college selection was participation and subscription to the Educause organization. Finally, IT leaders were selected by inclusion of their college's name on the 2005 Top Ten Tech Savvy (Digital) Community Colleges list. The list is prepared by the Center for Digital Education and the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC);The information gathered from this study will be used to assist community colleges in strategic planning for information technology. The data will guide colleges in the planning process prior to investing in software, hardware, infrastructure and training. The findings also will examine methods of technology assessment and funding at the community college. This study will inform institutional leaders about who to involve in the technology planning process, possible planning strategies and technology spending benchmarks, as well as other critical points of consideration.

Abstract: This dissertation was a qualitative case study that explored teachers' and elders' perceptions of the implementation of traditional Pohnpeian counting system in grade one. The focus of this study was on the teachers' and elders' perceptions on the use of cultural practices and activities in teaching mathematics lessons and the efficacy of using elders' assistance in the development and refinement of the pedagogy for the implementation of the teaching of the Pohnpeian counting systems. The participants included three teachers from two different elementary schools and three elders from two different communities. The teachers' and elders' perceptions were gathered through field notes and observations during the implementation of the lessons and interviews after the implementation of the lessons. According to the teachers and elders, the implementation of culturally-based mathematic lessons is an effective way of strengthening students' understanding of mathematical ideas and preserving the fading cultural practices.
The teachers' and elders' perceptions highlighted the need for more support from school administrators in the use and development of lessons that draw on our own cultural practices to teach mathematics or other subjects. Additionally, the study recommends further research on the use of elders as resources for developing instructional materials.

Between now and the start of the World Cup, we will be looking back at previous tournaments with the help of some of the key characters and the BBC's archive footage. Today, we ask the Golden Boot winner about his Italia '90 experience.
I can see it all now as clearly as if it was yesterday. Gazza's tears, Schillachi's bulging eyes, Milla's hips and Rijkaard's phlegm are destined to hold a special place in my heart forever, all played out to the incomparable soundtrack of Nessun Dorma.
After all, the 1990 World Cup in Italy is my World Cup. Every kid gets one, and Italia '90 will always belong to me.
Between now and the start of the World Cup, we are looking back at previous tournaments with the help of some of the key characters and the BBC's archive footage. Today, there's Austria's greatest moment and Archie's artistry.
Set against a backdrop of political uncertainty and shorn of the illuminating genius of the world's finest footballer in Johan Cruyff, the 11th staging of the World Cup was perhaps the most controversial of them all.
That it ended with a fairytale first victory for the hosts Argentina remains the subject of contention to this day, with the suggestion the country's military dictatorship aided the team's triumph continuing to cast a regrettable shadow over their achievement.
Between now and the start of the World Cup, we will be looking back at previous tournaments with the help of some of the key characters and the BBC's archive footage. Today, we speak to the man who witnessed the Cruyff turn at first hand and the top scorer at the 1974 finals.
Between now and the start of the World Cup, we will be looking back at previous tournaments with the help of some of the key characters and the BBC's archive footage.
Perhaps the most indelible image from any World Cup is that of the peerless Pele playing a perfectly weighted pass at the end of the 1970 final for a marauding Brazil captain Carlos Alberto to thump home.
Between now and the start of the World Cup, BBC Sport will be looking back at every tournament since 1966 with the help of some of the key characters.
When football truly did come home.
Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel used the tagline to awaken the nation's sporting senses ahead of Euro 96, England's footballers put their country on top of the world.

On September 20, Disneyland honored 18 individuals by awarding them with the prestigious Disney Legend awardsfor their imagination, talents, and dreams that have become an integral part of creating and contributing to the Disney magic.
Before the ceremony, many past honorees gather in the foyer of the Opera House. From left to right: Jack Lindquist, Roy E. and Patty Disney, Ron Dominguez. Photo by Frank Anzalone.
Themed to Disneyland's 50th anniversary, the event, held for the first time in its Main Street Opera House, specifically acknowledged those who contributed to the park. The inductees came from all areas, including artistry, music, attractions, custodial, community service, administration Imagineering, hotels, foods, and merchandise.
Family and friends fill every seat in the Opera House to witness the celebration. Photo by Frank Anzalone.

Milt Albright has the distinction of being Disneyland's first employee. He began his career at the company in payroll department at the studios and in 1953, decided to venture out and submit a design for an Autopia ride vehicle to Walt. Walt was not impressed with the design, but was very impressed with Milt and in Spring 1954, Milt was assigned to Manager of Accounting for Disneyland. Of the many positions he held, he was promoted to Manager of Guest Communications, a position he held until his retirement in 1992. Photo by Frank Anzalone.
A Disney Legend himself, Wally Boag introduces his favorite comedian, Steve Martin. Photo by Frank Anzalone.
When he was a young 15-year-old, Steve Martin used to go to the Golden Horseshoe Review all the time (because it was free!) and watch Wally Boag do his magic. It was the first live performer he had ever seen, and Steve studied Wally's humor and timing. Steve pays tribute to Wally as being a huge influence in his life and his career. Seen here in this photo, Wally had a hard time with the scripted teleprompterhe is just very good at extemporaneous banter.
Steve Martin takes the podium. Photo by Frank Anzalone.
(said in good jest between good friends). Steve began his Disneyland career at the age of 10, selling guidebooks at the front gate. He spent three years at the magic shop on Main Street where he sold and demonstrated magic tricks and practical jokes. Steve Martin's career spans many facets of the entertainment industry, from a stand up comedian to a film star. His most recent film performance, as the host of Disneyland: The First 50 Magical Years, can be seen at the Opera House on Main Street, USA, Disneyland.
Entertainment cast members sing to the family and friends of the newly inducted Disney Legends. Photo by Frank Anzalone.
Art Linkletter and Steve Martin, just after placing their handprints in cement, reminisce about their times at the Park. Photo by Frank Anzalone.
Fifty years ago, Walt Disney had a dream that is now the Happiest Place on Earth. It took thousands of dedicated cast members to not only build that dream, but to keep it alive ever since. These honors are well deserved and on behalf of every guest that has walked through the turnstiles, we appreciate these tremendous efforts.
Not even the pouring rain of the day could put a damper on this celebration. Here is the cement plaque of Steve Martin's freshly pressed handprints that will go into the Disney Legends Plaza at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. Photo by Frank Anzalone.
those individuals whose body of work has made a significant impact on the Disney Legacy!

Generally sunny despite a few afternoon clouds. High 73F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph..
Partly cloudy. Low near 50F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.
Governor C.L. 'Butch' Otter gives his final State of the State address Monday, Jan. 8, 2018, at the Capitol in Boise.
Rep. Laurie Lickley, R-Jerome, holds House Seat A in District 25 in the Idaho House of Representatives.
Rep. Linda Wright Hartgen, R-Twin Falls, holds House Seat B in District 24 in the Idaho House of Representatives.
TWIN FALLS — Three fresh faces will represent south-central Idaho in the statehouse in the upcoming legislative session, all of them women.
House seats in Districts 24, 25 and 26 — two of which opened up due to the retirement of longtime representatives — have been filled by newcomers to Idaho state politics, making a total of five of the Magic Valley’s 12 legislators female.
In District 24, former Twin Falls county clerk Linda Wright Hartgen will take over the duties of her husband, retiring Rep. Stephen Hartgen, while in District 25, rancher Laurie Lickley takes the place of retiring Rep. Maxine Bell.
Meanwhile, in District 26, the seat currently held by Republican Rep. Steve Miller has flipped blue with the election of paralympian Muffy Davis.
Wright Hartgen, who previously served as county clerk and as trial court administrator for the Fifth Judicial District, has said that she largely aligns with her husband on policy issues, though she’s more of a “people person” and less of a “lightning rod” in a personal sense.
As she goes into her first session, Wright Hartgen said, her plan is to “listen and learn,” rather than coming in with any specific bills prepared.
While Wright Hartgen doesn’t have any bills of her own in mind yet, she does have several priorities going into the session. One is education funding, particularly the continuation of Idaho’s five-year career ladder, an initiative to boost salaries for teachers. She said she is also looking forward to participating in discussions about how the state will fund Medicaid expansion in the wake of Proposition 2 passing.
“Those are things I’m kind of excited to look at,” Wright Hartgen said.
While Lickley doesn’t have prior experience in public office, she has served as president of the Idaho Cattle Association and held leadership positions for the Idaho Beef Council and National Cattleman Beef Association.
After winning a three-way Republican primary, Lickley didn’t have an opponent in the general election. But things have “certainly not slowed down” since May, Lickley said, especially as she prepares to leave her family’s ranch for three months in the winter.
Other top issues for Lickley include the recruitment and retention of qualified teachers and protection of south-central Idaho’s agricultural land, natural resources and water.
Davis, a Democrat who defeated incumbent Rep. Steve Miller with 57 percent of the vote, is a new name in Idaho politics — but a well-known figure in the international athletic world.
After a paralyzing accident at age 16, Davis went on to become a paralympic skier and cyclist. She has served on the International Paralympic Committee’s Governing Board and worked as a motivational speaker.
Health care — and specifically Medicaid expansion — was a centerpiece of Davis’s campaign.
Other priorities for Davis include increasing funding for education and the protection of public lands.

ON a blistering South Florida afternoon whose heat approximates a restaurant kitchen's, Norman Van Aken, dressed from chin to cuffs in a white chef's outfit, looks refreshed and cool as he cuts a path through sweaty shoppers in the Palacio de los Jugos market.
Elected in a crisis, Dorothy Cann Hamilton steps aside; her deputy takes over.
AFTER reading ''Norman's New World Cuisine'' (Random House, $50), I still don't have a grasp of exactly what New World cuisine is.
AT THE NATION'S TABLE: KEY WEST, FLA.
¡Gusto! is the ''Buena Vista Social Club'' of food magazines.
THE James Beard Foundation has named a new 17-member board to replace trustees who resigned en masse in March after a financial scandal.
There can be real cachet in using a back door.
Instead of the usual cured ham, a succulent version that elegantly evokes spring.
WITH its beguiling reputation as a pastel playground, the little slice of sand, surf and Art Deco known as South Beach has come to dominate the public image of greater Miami.
A Venezuelan roast lies at the black heart of Christmas.

The production of Kossoff’s large-scale city scenes also relied upon the extensive charcoal drawings that the artist made on location. In a letter to Tate dated 16 November 1975, Kossoff explained, ‘All the time I am working on a landscape in the studio I am referring to the drawings I constantly do from the subject. I pin the drawings on the wall of the studio and change them frequently in the course of the time I am working on the painting’ (quoted in The Tate Gallery 1974–6: Illustrated Catalogue of Acquisitions, London 1978, pp.117–18). Typically, Kossoff scraped down and re-painted the same subject over weeks and months, before the final image was painted rapidly, in just a few hours.
The texture of Booking Hall, Kilburn Underground is characteristic in this regard: paint is applied liberally and energetically, its viscous matter pushed and pulled across the board support with broad strokes, while thin ribbons of pigment splatter and skim across the surface. Despite Kossoff’s works emerging from direct observation, capturing the physical and visual sensation of the scene takes precedence over exact representational accuracy. With their quickly and densely applied paint, his works can be compared in this regard to the paintings of Frank Auerbach, with whom Kossoff studied at London’s Borough Polytechnic, both artists taking special classes with the painter David Bomberg from 1950 to 1952.
London has been a source of particular inspiration for Kossoff. With the exception of a spell in Norfolk as a wartime evacuee (1939–43) and his overseas military service (1945–8), he has lived and worked in the city his entire life. ‘London, like the paint I use, seems to be in my bloodstream’, he has claimed. ‘It’s always moving – the skies, the streets, the buildings. The people who walk past me when I draw have become part of my life.’ (Quoted in Moorhouse 1996, p.36.) Sites of circulation and transportation in London have been a persistent theme in Kossoff’s work, and he has also depicted stations such as Mornington Crescent, Willesden Junction, Dalston Junction, King’s Cross, St Pancras, and Embankment (see The Flower and Fruit Stalls, Embankment 1995 1995, Tate T07297).
Kilburn Underground station is a ten-minute walk from Kossoff’s home and studio in the London suburb of Willesden, where he has lived since 1966. Other works from his series on the station focus on the elevated railway bridge, the entrance to the station, and the people and traffic on surrounding roads. Tate also holds two prints from this series, Outside Kilburn Underground 1984 (Tate P77103) and Going Home 1984 (Tate P77052). Booking Hall, Kilburn Underground relates to an earlier painting called Booking Hall, Kilburn Underground No.2 1977, in which the interior of the station is painted from the same perspective, but with more clarity and brightness, and with only four main figures. Moorhouse has noted that the Kilburn Underground paintings Kossoff developed during the 1980s are marked by ‘an increasing freedom from the precise appearance of the subject’ (Moorhouse 1996, p.24).
Kossoff was chosen to represent Britain at the 1995 Venice Biennale, and this painting occupied the main room in the British Pavilion.

Postcard depiction of the train circa 1939; the card described the train as the only all-electric New York-Florida train; a reference to its diesel-electric locomotives.
The service was suspended during World War II to free the equipment up for carrying troops. Its last run was in 1953. This market is now handled by Amtrak's Silver Star.
In early 2012, a similar locomotive painted to resemble a locomotive of the time, and lettered Orange Blossom Special was moved in from its long-time display location at the Church Street Station in Orlando, Florida to the Gulf Coast Railway Museum in nearby Tampa. Plans are for a multi-year restoration to active status for eventual excursion service.
Arrival of the Orange Blossom Special, December 1938 in Plant City, Florida.
It happened during the maiden run of the new streamlined train at the Jacksonville Seaboard Railroad Station that Ervin T. Rouse and Robert Russell "Chubby" Wise saw this train. Rouse and Wise wrote the "Orange Blossom Special" song as a fiddle tune. The tune was first recorded by Ervin and his brother Gordon one year later in New York. Bill Monroe recorded Rouse's and Wise's tune in 1942 (with Art Wooten on fiddle) and popularized the tune. Johnny Cash named his 1965 album after the song. The song was also recorded by Bill Ramsey and Don Paulin.
This popular tale explains the fascination which led Ervin Rouse and Robert "Chubby" Wise to write the now famous fiddle tune. However, historically the Blossom was never "streamlined" and used Pullman heavyweight sleepers, diners, and some coaches of the winter Tampa run. The Blossom may have used some lightweight cars sporadically in mixed consist with the Pennsylvania Railroad which hauled the Blossom in the Northeast Corridor. If Rouse and Wise did see a streamlined Seaboard train in 1938, it was most likely the "Silver Meteor" which was streamlined with its stainless steel coaches. The name of this train was chosen by a public contest. The Seaboard's lightweight trains later became known as the Silver Fleet. This included the Silver Meteor, the Silver Star and the Silver Comet. The train did receive modern EMC E4 diesel locomotives in 1938, but continued using heavyweight Pullmans and American Flyer coaches until its demise in 1953. It is also possible the songwriters saw one of the Twin Cities Zephyrs at the Jacksonville railroad station in 1935. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad brought the train to Florida at the invitation of the Seaboard Railroad. It toured the state, making stops in both east and west coast Florida cities, where the public was able to both view and tour the Zephyr; Jacksonville was one of the stops on its Florida tour.

NEW YORK: Anton Fig, one of modern music‘s most-heard drummers, has just changed how he hears his drums in the studio. The influential rhythm master known for his nightly appearances on the “Late Show with David Letterman” and recordings with Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Madonna and far beyond now hits the studio with the superior safety and full frequency response of ULTRASONE HFI-550 headphones.
Fig points to the tight seal of the ULTRASONE HFI-550‘s closed headphone design, and natural surround sound of ULTRASONE‘s patented S-Logic™ technology, as strong assets for drummers who want to protect their hearing and hear the full sonic picture, both live and in the studio. In addition, the HFI-550 features a 50mm driver for enhanced bass response which makes them particularly well-suited for the needs of drummers, bassists and DJ‘s.
Extreme accuracy and significantly increased safety levels are hallmarks of ULTRASONE headphones, for musicians and audio professionals who require the ultimate personal solution for mixing, mastering, tracking and reference applications. ULTRASONE‘s S-Logic™ technology reduces sound pressure to the eardrums by 40%, and thanks to its patented ULE (Ultra Low Emissions) technology, all ULTRASONE products have lower magnetic field emissions than any other headphones, reducing electromagnetic field radiation - an effect commonly associated with cell phone use, for example - by up to 98%.

So, Netflix’s Iron Fist series is finally out! I have not yet gotten the chance to watch (or the desire to watch, which is more accurate), but from what I’ve been told it is… well, it’s out!
Whether or not Iron Fist fails to live up to the expectations set by previously acclaimed Marvel television series is your own personal preference, certainly. But you surely cannot convince me that if the producers had based their version of Iron Fist on comic artist Kris Anka’s design, it would be a much better show. Just look at how cool this version of Danny Rand is.
Someone at Marvel, for the love of God, give these two a solo series. You have a Gwen Stacy Deadpool, surely these two have a spot in the Multiverse somewhere.

After a busy summer of festival dates and sun-drenched summer parties, Hotflush are back to attend to their autumn release schedule, the first of which welcomes a new collaborative project from two anonymous producers, united under the guise of NeferTT.
Both producers have become synonymous with a distinct and versatile approach to music-making. Between them, they have covered everything from hip-hop, dubstep, drone, UKG, soul, jungle, broken-beat and electronica in the body of their own previous productions.
This new collaboration sees the pair invoke a slightly more dance floor-orientated spirit, taking a marked step away from the heavily swung, nervy house/garage hybrids of their previous material, preferring to focus on irresistible groove and lush melody.

Rapper Killer Mike recently interviewed Bernie Sanders in Atlanta.
Last month, Killer Mike stood behind a podium inside Atlanta’s Fox Theater, in front of a crowd of more than 5,000 people. He smiled and adjusted the microphone, turned and waved to the audience behind him, and then he got serious.
Part of the afternoon Sanders spent with the Run the Jewels rapper was well-documented: The pair ate a meal together at Atlanta’s Busy Bee Cafe; according to the pool report, the senator had fried chicken, yams, rice and gravy. The other part — a wide-ranging conversation that took place over several hours at Mike’s barbershop, the SWAG Shop — wasn’t revealed until now.
Mike rolled out the interview, which addressed everything from marijuana to guns, government benefits and voter ID laws, on his Facebook and YouTube accounts.
The six-part conversation could help Sanders build support among young people and, crucially, among black voters, whom he desperately needs to win over if he is going to gain any traction against his rival Hillary Clinton. A recent poll in the early primary state of South Carolina found an overwhelming 80 percent of black Democrats support Hillary Clinton. Sanders has acknowledged the ground he still needs to make up with minority voters, even as he emphasizes that his platform goes further than any other candidate’s to address issues that disproportionately impact black and Hispanic communities with proposals that seek to raise the minimum wage, end mass incarceration, and make higher education more accessible.
Below are the six videos from Killer Mike’s interview with Bernie Sanders.

If we’re going to be this lazy, we need some insta-data. We need someone to do a poll testing Clinton against the Republican candidates. One poll showing her doing better than him against Romney, or beating Palin by such a large margin that we need to invent another number to describe it, and we can engage in some seriously baseless speculation. But who can do it?
I called Tom Jensen of Public Policy Polling, because they’ve been known to test some odd questions.
I’ve asked Scott Rasmussen that question; the most recent result at Rasmussen Reports is “38% Agree With Perry’s Goal of Making Washington, DC Inconsequential, 34% Don’t.” So, we’ll see. In some parallel universe wherein Clinton did not join the Obama administration, this is an interesting question. In this universe?

Mozilla Firebird is a free, open-source web browser for Windows. It is small, fast and easy to use, and offers many advantages over other web browsers, such as the tabbed browsing and the ability to block pop-up windows.
Integrated Google Search: You can type any word in the address bar and it will be searched on google.
Speed: FireBird is faster than IE because it will display a partially loaded page whilst IE won't.
Tabbed Browsing: Save a set of frequently visited sites and open all of them when you start your browser!
Block Popup: No need of installing IE 6.0 + Google toolbar to stop annoying pop ups.
Print: You can now set header, footer, page orientation (Landscape/ portrait), shrink to fit page width option, check print preview and more.
RSS Reader: Supports In-built RSS reader so you don't need one more software.
Now that Mozilla has a new browser project (Firebird) should we expect the Mozilla browser to become extinct? Will the Firebird project offer a "suite" as was Mozilla (web authoring, chat, etc.)?

The benefits of using HEVC / H.265 for video content, with its quality improvements and compression efficiency gains compared to AVC / H.264, are well understood. At its 2017 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple announced that its desktop, mobile platforms and all future hardware will support HEVC content. Apple had already revealed in 2016 the addition of fragmented MP4 (fMP4) support to HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), a format that historically supported only TS (transport stream) file containers. Adding fMP4 to HLS takes an important step towards consolidating the streaming formats used for over-the-top (OTT) video distribution.
Separately, a new media file format in the process of standardization is the Common Media Application Format, or CMAF, which incorporates fMP4 along with other media technologies. The combination of these developments signals the migration from AVC to HEVC and the convergence to a single file format that supports the vast ecosystem of video devices. Because of this, CMAF is widely expected to become the standard for OTT, greatly simplifying the lives of video providers while assuring consistently high-quality streaming experiences for viewers.
AWS Elemental is implementing CMAF support across on-premises and cloud-based video solutions. In April, AWS Elemental MediaPackage added support for CMAF HLS endpoints. And in June, AWS Elemental MediaConvert added support for CMAF outputs using both DASH and HLS endpoints. CMAF support is in development for other AWS Elemental Media Services as well as appliance-based solutions; in fact, the company showcased an end-to-end solution for HEVC, fMP4, and CMAF (for both HLS and DASH clients) in conjunction with just-in-time packaging and delivery for the first time at the 2018 NAB Show.
With CMAF support, AWS Elemental video solutions can create a single file format for live or on-demand streams using either the AVC or HEVC codec along with fMP4 segments. These segments are then delivered as different adaptive streaming technologies using separate manifest files. Because major players (Google with Widevine, Microsoft with PlayReady, and Apple with Fairplay) have all moved to support Common Encryption that is interoperable with CMAF, video solutions from AWS Elemental can also create a single encrypted file compliant with a variety of concurrent digital rights management (DRM) standards. This eliminates the need for separate content silos to support each type of consumer device. Together, these new capabilities offer substantial benefits to video providers by eliminating the cost and complexity of packaging and storing multiple versions of streaming protocols and DRM files on the origin server. And, by removing the need to generate multiple file formats, CMAF can dramatically reduce encoding costs.
Another benefit is content caching efficiency in the network when delivering content. CMAF support limits the overall packaging load of a video workflow that is also applying just-in-time technology to support older devices. CMAF-compliant devices require only lightweight manifest packaging and can use more shared video fragments in caches and content delivery networks, which helps to drive down OTT latency and further improve distribution costs and performance.
Closed captioning for multiple languages presents another challenge for video providers, with different standards being supported by different streaming technologies. CMAF functionality simplifies closed caption delivery by supporting the various standards used by different streaming technologies. Again, this promises significant cost savings for video providers.
In summary, fMP4 and CMAF implementation is future-proofing video delivery through an ‘encode, package, encrypt, and cache once’ approach that supports a variety of consumer devices. AWS Elemental is working with several video providers to deploy CMAF in 2018, to spearhead support for this technology for both on-premises and cloud-based video workflows.
Want to learn more about CMAF? This e-book explains HEVC and CMAF, and ways to incorporate them into your video encoding and distribution pipelines and retain the broadest possible compatibility with your customers.

In his Coverville podcast, Brian Ibbott explains what makes a great cover: that it gives the song a new twist. That's as good an answer as any; if the cover sounds like the original, what's the point? There are all kinds of ways to twist a song. You can make it faster. You can make it slower. You can just make it... different. I'm not sure how danceable these versions are. But as covers I'd say they're not bad.
This one takes a little explanation. Which is good, because I only have a little explanation.
This is a collection of dance music by a Romanian pop group. They did a song called Dragostea Din Tei. And then they made a video. And that would have been the end of it, were it not for a bunch of people with a talent for Flash and way too much time on their hands. Starting with these Japanese guys. And followed by some Hungarians. And now I can't get this song out of my head.
If I have to suffer, I'll be damned if I'm gonna do it alone.
Anyway, Bond is a string quartet. A quartet of incredibly beautiful women. Which shouldn't matter, right? I mean, especially on my iPod, where I can't see what they look like. Fortunately, their performances are dynamite, full of energy and fun. And they've even done a cover of the (other) Bond theme. Called, cleverly enough, Bond on Bond. Given the number of (James) Bond-related discs in my collection, how could I pass this one up?

CAUTION: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS OF EPIC PROPORTIONS. READ ON AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Today, I experienced the unique but not altogether unfamiliar sensation of having my mind completely blown in about five different directions.
Chapter 21 of The Leviathan Chronicles was absolutely brilliant. I mean, there’s no other way to put it. This series…is beyond words. Every episode includes another twist, another revelation that comes just when everything was starting to seem so clear and spins everything about. From start to finish, this episode is no exception.
Case in point: Leviathan. For 20 episodes, we’ve heard about Evangeline’s secluded fortress hidden in the deepest, darkest corner of the ocean. Episode 21 actually takes us there.
But wasn’t it Mrs. MacBeth who said “Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it” ? This definitely applies to Leviathan and its residents. Everything that happens in this episode spins the plot and the listener’s perception of it in five different directions at once. Evangeline’s first proper appearance, Harlequinn’s true place in Leviathan, the revelation of yet another faction in the war, and the fact that Sienshun and co. might not be the heroes they claimed to be… and that’s only a fraction of what happens in Episode 21.
Everyone has an agenda. Everyone. And these agendas might not actually be what they seem. One of Evangeline’s trusted advisors is apparently plotting against her, and Evangeline…seems to be a pretty nice person (Keyword: Seems), and Macallan actually trusts her. Oh, yeah. This is definently going to end well. As for Sienshun, the leader of the Rebellion, I’m starting to wonder (and not for the first time) if he might not be just as bad as Evangeline, if not worse. Or maybe, we’ve got it all wrong, and Evangeline is the good one, and Sienshun is the evil, manipulative murderer. For the first time, we’re getting Evangeline’s side of the story, or part of it, at least, and I for one am not entirely sure who I’d side with. Before, everything seemed to be black and white. Now, Christof Laputka has introduced a few shades of grey.
Even the ‘rogue Starstone’ wasn’t what it seemed to be. It appears that it wasn’t malfunctioning at all, but simply doing what it was designed to do: Kill Immortals. But who designed it that way? Evangeline? Sienshun? The aliens themselves? Blackdoor? Someone else altogether? I don’t know about you, but it’s going to be bugging me until it gets resolved. That’s true for the series as a whole, though.
Another shocker in this episode came from a more…romantic angle. I’m not talking about Macallan and Tulley, since honestly, I saw that coming since around Episode 6. That was the only part of this episode that wasn’t a complete shocker. I’m talking about Evangeline and Harlequinn. The fact that they’re a couple brings up an interesting question: why, then, has Harlequinn been out of Leviathan for all these centuries? Was he secretly on a mission from Evangeline the whole time? The plot thickens further — Like pudding, but even better, because while you can only eat a cup of pudding once, it takes very little effort to click the play button and re-listen to this episode.
Now, I’m waiting in slightly frightened suspense for Episode 22, and the unknown surprises that wait inside.
Click here to download some epic, then sit back and enjoy the ride.

My grandparents were professional magicians that lived in Colon, Michigan. He also worked at Abbott’s. I have been attending the ever-so-famous Mayberry-meets-Vegas magic convention known as Abbott’s Get Together for 37 years! It is a treasure in our very small, one-blinking-light community!
I’ve spent hours and hours in that shop. Sometimes attending magic workshops that would end when the sun came up. Great selection of magic supplies as well as an amazing amount of knowledge that the owner, Antony, has and shares.
Congrats to these two stores on making the list!
