At a time when the suicide rate of Black children continues to rise, we’re offering parents some advice from experts on how to identify the warning signs. According to a 2015 study from The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicides amongst Black children have doubled since 1993. For Black boys specifically, the numbers have nearly tripled. This topic has garnered national attention following the release of Netflix’s hit series 13 Reasons Why, which tells the story of a high school junior who commits suicide and leaves behind 13 tapes explaining why she did it and who she felt was partly responsible. As Entertainment Weekly reports, the series was recently renewed for a second season after becoming the most tweeted about show this year. Kristin Wilson of Newport Academy, who works with children nationally on mental health issues, shares tips with ESSENCE about the signs that parents should look out for if they think their child may be suffering from depression. “Parents need to see this and have conversations about this and issues that are sometimes touchy and uncomfortable. And suicide is one of them … [13 Reasons Why] brings way more attention to what parents can begin to look for. If you don’t get lost in the drama and the clichés, I think it can be really helpful,” Wilson said. These Are 5 Warning Signs For Potentially Suicidal Teens: 1. A change in behavior and/or appetite 2. Making statements of hopelessness; for example, ‘I wish I wasn’t here’ or ‘I want to be invisible’ 3. Suddenly becoming isolated or depressed 4. Neglecting their personal appearance 5. Making excuses for not wanting to go to school

Saturday, March 21, 2009 Flight from Copenhagen to London See Josh Mikutis for the first time in months and subsequent jumping up and down in each other's arms Bus or Train from London to Oxford Train from Oxford to London See Josh Mikutis for the first time in days and subsequent jumping up and down in each other's arms Flight with Josh from London to Rome, assuming RyanAir allows us to get on the plane Greet Christian. Notice his impressive goatee. I make a passing comment about it and he laughs it off, but then aggressively holds eye contact for a split second too long. Day trip to Florence, Train Overnight train from Rome to Vienna Train from Vienna to Prague April 6, maybe April 7 Train from Prague to Berlin Train from Berlin to Amsterdam Arrive in Copenhagen, with Josh hopefully Thus ends my spring break travels. Parents come to Copenhagen, shocked by my goatee. Dad makes a passing comment about my goatee and I take this opportunity to tell them about it while aggressively holding eye contact. Dublin with Roger and Tiffany Athens to see Rosie and Lily Back to the States Thursday, March 19, 2009 note: submitted to Last Word, should be printed on Tuesday One of the best parts of Copenhagen is the never ending nightlife. Never ending isn’t a figure of speech. You see old men drinking 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether it’s a Carlsberg or a Cult Shaker (an alcoholic Red Bull), they are just drinking, staring into space, living the dream. But what is the night nightlife like? Breathtaking. Everything I dreamed it to be. And I’m going to help you experience it right along with me, every step of the way. So, I took my pad and paper and catalogued this past weekend, in Copenhagen, the city of herring and Hans Christian Andersen. 9:30 – Finished my meal of liverpaste (self-explanatory) and brunette child parts (why do you think there are only blondes?). I arrange to meet my Danish friends to pregame. This consists of drinking what the Danes call ‘’liquid cocaine,’’ because it’s seltzer water mixed with powder cocaine. I make sure to keep my pinky out when I’m downing the liquid. Any other way is frowned upon. 9:34 – I can’t feel my face and start to vomit profusely. I may or may not have seen god. 8:02, in the morning – I wake up in Copenhagen Hospital. Thank god for universal healthcare. They had to pump my stomach three times and replace the blood in my body, but I’m just happy to be alive. 9:30, at night – Finally released from the hospital. Finished my meal of herringpaste (self-explanatory) and non-beautiful child parts (why do you think all Danes are beautiful?). I arrange to meet my Danish friends to pregame. This consists of me saying ‘’nej tak,’’ or ‘’no thank you’’ to their offers of ‘’liquid cocaine.’’ I feel so American turning down this offer, but I lost twenty pounds worth of vomit and replaced blood, so tonight I’m going to take it easy. 10:30 – We get to the club, it’s called ‘’Wienørlæxxx’’ or ‘’Luck of the Wiener,’’ in Danish. It’s also a pun in Danish because of some H.C. Andersen fairy tale, I don’t know. Apparently this is where Hans himself took his first Jager Bomb (and his last, if you know what I mean, ha!). So. The club was pretty good, but I’m not really feeling it because it’s literally just us and about ten Turkish men drinking Cult Shakers and staring into space. I tell me friends I want to check out some other clubs. They tell me to chill till 11:30, when all Danes hit up the clubs. I’m a little doubtful, but I wait it out. They also tell me to go up to the bartender and order something called a ‘’Little Mermaid.’’ They promise me it has no powdered cocaine. I’m in. It kind of tastes like Christianade, but sweeter. 11:30, and five Little Mermaid’ s later – I can’t really see straight and the club is still empty but as the clock strikes 11:30, literally sixty blonde Danes walk in the room and start licking my ankles. For some reason I think of Josh Mikutis. We start dancing and my moves are so crisp that three of them become pregnant. My moves are fresh and they’ve never seen anything like it. My hips are tiny dancers, moving to their own beats. 11:45 – The club is now packed. One of my friends gets it out that I’m American and before I know it, the whole club is talking to me and awaiting every syllable that leaves my mouth. Everything I say is golden. I ask what time it is and someone says ‘’23:45’’ to which I reply ‘’don’t you mean, 11:45?’’ and they eat it up. Everybody is in hysterics, rubbing my knees, flicking my earlobes and licking my ankles more. The entire club may or may not be under the influence of ecstasy. 3:35 – Everyone is still surrounding me, asking questions. Normally I would be tired at this point but I’m thriving off of the energy. ‘’Do you know Shaquille O’Neal?’’ one asks. I say I don’t and they love it. They fucking love it. All of a sudden someone brings out a basketball hoop and asks me to dunk. I’m nervous because I’m 5’9’’ but then I realize the hoop is quite small. Because Danes are so tall it is considered impressive to dunk on a hoop as short as possible. Their regulation hoop is 6 feet high. I do windmills, 360s and backhanded dunks. They cheer and laugh and giggle. The queen is apparently there. And she is impressed. She offers a congratulatory shot of liquid cocaine. I politely decline. The entire crowd becomes quiet. This is apparently not only an insult to the queen but the whole state of Denmark. I feel terrible so I down the liquid cocaine. 9:17 – I wake up in Copenhagen Hospital. I definitely saw god last night. Wednesday, March 18, 2009 Yesterday was Tuesday (Tirsdag) so I got some Happy Tirsdag 20 Kroner Happy Meal, and it was the best Happy Meal that I've ever had. Thomas served us, and Thomas is known for being the nicest man at any McDonald's. I love Thomas! When he gives you food and interacts with you, he looks as though every second of interaction is the thing that gives him the most pleasure. He shares in the joy when you cheer and smile over the potentiality of a Cheeseburger, fries, milkshake and toy, all for 20 kroner. After class and some honey fried chicken, Roger and myself finished his White Russian supplies, and I don't want to drink milk ever again! I used cinnamon in mine and I hate cinnamon now! A Spanish family was eating an imported leg of pig in the common room and cutting off fresh slices and we were able to try some and now I love slices of pig's legs! We were able to get into the couple of Irish pubs in town and it was great. There was cheering and laughter and overpriced drink. I drank a 50 cl of Sommersby and now I hate Sommersby! The highlights of the night were a failed piggy back ride, and Roger trying to run through the storefront glass of the H&M at 1 in the morning. Thankfully he was bounced back into the street and then proceeded to take a tumble in front of two nice looking American girls who seemed terrified. Roger! Also the 'nej tak's myself, Jimmy and Matt received in our Kiss Me I'm Irish pleas. I love 'nej tak's! Monday, March 16, 2009 Comment of the day, today, after a girl said ''what about the internet? doesn't that make this argument outdated and irrelevant?'' Eric said, in normal speaking volume, ''welcome to this class.'' Golden. I cannot wait for the study tour. Saturday, March 14, 2009 Cheers: To kulorbar, for once again providing free beer from the hours of 11 to 1, after entry and coatcheck. Cheers: To the kulorbar DJ, for playing some enjoyable mashups, and looking like Mario Lopez. Jeers: To the kulorbar coatcheck, for once again refusing to retrieve a coat, because the coatcheck ticket is in fact inside of the coat. Sorry roj. Jeers: To the two girls dancing wildly on the elevated cube in the middle of the dance floor. Your nights were going well until you fell from said elevated cube and one of you busted your nose on the floor, spouting blood immediately all over your white dress and the dance floor, while your friend laughed. Cheers: To the rest of the dancers, who danced around the blood at first, and then decided that you can't spend your entire night dancing around blood. Jeers: To the AIDS epidemic. Cheers: To me, for once again enjoying yourself responsibly. Jeers: To me, for waking up at 9:30, when today all I plan to do is feed myself, and maybe go to a bakery. Thursday, March 12, 2009 First, Travis Henry. A decent NFL runningback between the years of 2001 and 2007, but an outstanding specimen of what Darwin might call ''biologically fit.'' The New York Times just released a piece on Henry's child support dilemmas (yawn). However, the article pointed to the fact that Henry has nine children, between the ages of 3 and 11. Wait, 11 - 3 = 8. He had 9 kids in 8 years? Impressive. Or as the article calls it, ''prolific procreating.'' There must have been more than one mother involved. Why, yes, there were. Each of his 9 kids, in fact, has a different mother! Some of their births were months apart! Way to go Trav. You are officially the Rickey Henderson of babymaking. Some quotes from the article: ''educating its players about making wise choices'' ''the attention he received after he was indicted on charges of cocaine trafficking'' ''“They’ve got my blood; I’ve got to deal with it,” Henry said'' ''“I love all my kids,” he said'' ''The child was unplanned as were all but one of his offspring, he said.'' ''Henry’s mother, who picked oranges for a living, disapproved'' ''“Knock on wood, or something, I’m blessed not to have AIDS.”'' ''Back in Denver, his fiancée awaits...neither wants children.'' Now, the Conundrum of the Copenhagen Nightlife Dynamic. There are a couple of facts about the Copenhagen downtown bar scene that lead to an unsolvable conundrum: 1) Americans like to seek out the genuine experience, so they like to avoid other Americans. 2) All of the big downtown bars are full of Americans. You can see where this goes. Bummer. Yesterday I went to the Museum of Danish Resistance. Yeah, I know. It's like the Museum of German Non-Racism, the Museum of Swedish Brunettes, the Museum of Swiss Taking Sides, the Museum of Romanian Fair Political Arena, and other Museums that follow the naming scheme of ''The Museum of (Country) (Something that Country is Definitely Not Known For).'' But it was a positive experience, although it did reinforce some stereotypes. And if everybody heard the story about the King of Denmark wearing a jewish star during the holocaust to get the entire nation to do it as well, it is apparently false. Correction from last post: As numerous people have showed me, Norway is, in fact, NOT between Sweden and Finland (although a small northern portion of it may be considered to be between Sweden and Finland). I apologize for the misinformation and I hope my mistake has caused any irreperable damage. Sunday, March 8, 2009 On Thursday, a planned Keops Kooking Klub dinner was cancelled due to things coming up. Tragedy. Sarah sends me a text, "Pancakes for dinner? Yummm..." One text conversation and a trip to the Lidl and Netto later, we are all set. On the menu: Pancakes (regular, chocolate, banana, banana chocolate, white chocolate strawberry, strawberry cream, raspberry cream) from scratch, and crispy bacon. I don't want to say that Sarah and I saved the day, but the pancakes were delicious and satisfying and we saved the day. On Friday, we departed on a cruise to Oslo, the capital city of Norway, the land mass between Sweden and Finland located at the heart of Scandanavia, the cold unsavory portion of Europe. Most of the time spent on the boat either consisted of light-hearted chit chat or, if at night, bouncing between the various night spots on the boat. This included Force 7, a nightclub on the Seventh floor of the ship. It also included a passionate game of Kings, and being yelled at no less than four times by the same security guard. The first three times were for being in the ball pit at inappropriate times of the day. Although the ball pit was noticably off limits due to the bars inhibiting entry, the security man's responses were unnecessarily cold, calculated and direct. "Do you have eyes?" once. And then "unbelievable," in a voice so disappointed it would make even a Jewish mother wince. When he caught myself and Emily in the kitchen of the restaurant that offered a $40 buffet, he accused us of trying to steal food (if a hungry man steals a handful of Honey Smacks to feed his family, is it really stealing?) and said if I was caught one more time, I would be punished. This man took silver in "my favorite employees aboard The Pearl of Scandanavia," losing out to the man over the loudspeaker who would wake us up or give us other important announcements. When he spoke in his native Danish, he sounded like the rest of Denmark, bubbly and incomprehensible. However, when he spoke in English, he sounded as if his nose and his testicles had been switched. We went to the highest on the ship that men can go, and it was something of a crisis. The Scandanavian sea at night was pure black. All you could feel was the ship's slow bobbing. You could not see anything at all, we could have been in a completely black room. It felt not unlike the paintings of Edvard Munch (1862-1944). We visited the Munch Museum, a Norwegian painter famous for The Scream and Madonna. The Scream was stolen twice, once recently. Unfortunately we were not able to view it, although we did see a different version that Munch painted. The man in The Scream (not this painting) who has his hands on his face is Munch. He was walking with some friends (the people in the background, on the left) when he lagged behind and then heard the scream coming from nature, an audification of the eternal existential crisis of the modern man. The sky turned an appropriate (maybe not?) red and life hit him. I enjoyed the style of Munch and for some reason his paintings came off more earnestly than what I would expect from a painter of existential tragedy. I especially appreciated his paintings of love, which were also touchingly earnest, but obviously in a very different way. Many of his drawings or paintings showed two lovers, but entirely alone together. My two favorite paintings were Jealousy and Murderer. I suggest looking up both, especially the second one, pictured here. I also bought a poster for a Munch exhibit in the 70's featuring a piece of a man that apparently looks just like me. Wednesday, March 4, 2009 A Letter From My Future Boss After My First Post-College Interview, As I Imagine It Today BY ANDREW IAN LIPSTEIN Dear Mr. Lipstein, I’d first like to thank you for personally redefining what we know as “charisma,” “magnetism,” and “professionalism.” Your interview, needless to say, went swimmingly. Not only were we all, here at our large company that makes creative publications of some sort, impressed with the fact your greatest weakness was being a perfectionist, but your subtle yet largely evident use of a power tie was original. Breath-takingly original. Your blatant eye-contact upon meeting myself, the President of the aforementioned company, and the CEO definitely corresponded with the promised “nose-to-the-grindstone” work ethic your cover letter promised. We also appreciated that the same letter distinguished you from all other job candidates by discussing the fact you are “multi-dimensional.” I gotta tell you, if we get one more one-dimensional average Joe, I’m going hand it in. I’m going to literally quit my job and hand the company over to you, you talented son of a bitch. In addition, the fact you ended your letter with the phrase “I look forward to hearing from you” implied a certain confidence that we don’t have the opportunity of seeing everyday. It was almost as if you knew that when we contacted you, it would be good news. Stunning. If your flawless, charm-filled interview and Magna Carta-esque cover letter were not enough to sway us here at this company to hire you, than your résumé surely would have done the trick. Right off the bat: in High School you took “all classes at the Advanced Placement or accelerated level”? This is unheard of, and although we definitely trust you (because of the aforementioned eye-contact), we had to fact check this caveat of your résumé. I mean, nobody is able to take ALL classes at the Advanced Placement or accelerated level. What, were you some sort of well-rounded renaissance-man prodigy as a young high schooler? Out. Of. This. World. Surely this fact directly proves the multi-dimensionality mentioned in your cover letter. We also noticed from your resume that you were peripherally involved in QUITE A FEW clubs and organizations on campus. Writer for the newspaper? Kayak club? Young Republicans? Peer tutoring? Where do you find the time!? No seriously, we MUST know. How often do you meet someone who has been in at least four clubs in college AND has at least a 3.0? A 3.0 is a solid B. Most people get C’s. Transcendental. Also, needless to say, the professionalism, symmetry and cool font you used on your résumé definitely stood out among all of the other lame candidates who used a right-justified Arial font without including their middle name. Now, there is some slight bad news. Actually, two bits of bad news. First off: While there is definitely a need to offer enough money so that you can live within a few blocks of the city, we cannot offer you enough so that you can afford the Rittenhouse apartment you always dreamed of. Instead, we will be offering you housing outside of And before you take another thought about whether or not to accept our offer, a few more minor details: - As you informed us of your quirky hunger schedule, your work hours will be 10:00-11:00 a.m. followed by a 2 hour lunch break, and then from 1:00-3:00. And yes, of course we will have a company fridge completely stacked with pizza, ketchup and diet root beer. - Fridays will not be given off, but will be for the weekly softball game against or rival company that produces creative publications as well. We are in desperate need of a starting pitcher, and we heard about your slider. - Just as a general rule of thumb: if it’s a holiday somewhere, it’s a holiday here. Thank you, Sincerely, and Love, Peter E. Flipcomber (just call me Flip, Boss, Bud or Big Guy) Monday, March 2, 2009 Who is searching for the plot keyword "Money in Title"? I want to meet them. Anyway, by cutting corners and being an absolute maverick, Rachael Ray can show you how to eat "scrumdiptiously" and things "that are absolutely to DIE for" for only around $15,000 a year. She can also make you hate how she says E.V.O.O. (extra virgin olive oil) but at the same time work it into your own vernacular so you hate yourself a little when you say it but then convince yourself you only do it because it's half the syllables. Because most of America can't afford $40 dollars a day, and I'm willing to bet most of the world couldn't afford $40 a month, I am going to do something Rachael Ray never did nor could do. No, it's not pass up an endorsement on Triscuits, it's a $15 a day, Kobenhavn Edition! Also, keep in mind that Kobenhavn (taking the exchange rate into account) is massively more expensive (keep in mind a Big Mac Meal can run you about $10 US) than the places Ray visits. Also, unlike Ray, my recount is going to be realistic meals for people actually living life. Therefore, there won't be 3 hour brunches nor cute visits to cute souvenir shops cute: Half a quart of milk: 2 Kroner 3-4 Bowls of Cereal and other Mix-Ins: 5 Kroner (Alternatively, Egg, Bacon and Pancake Breakfast will run around the same cost) Water: 0 Kroner Packed Sandwhich: Approximately 6 Kroner Packed Dessert: Approximately 4 Kroner Street Figs: 5 Kroner A few pieces of candy from the candy store. So little, in fact, that the register person gives you a "really?" look: 3 Kroner Free sample of as many nuts as you dare take from the roasted nuts and waffle stand: 0 Kroner Pre-Dinner snack of cereal, raisins, et cetera: 3 Kroner M&M vending machines, which will give you four (4) peanut M&M's or fifteen (15) regular M&M's for 2 Kroner: 2 Kroner Three days a night (thanks to Keops Kooking Klub): 0 Kr. Monday Night Hamburgers at Peder Oxe (where every student will be from the Americans paying $40,000 a year to be there to the Danish who are being paid a few grand to be there): 35 Kr. Total: Breakfast (7 Kr.) + Lunch (10 Kr.) + Snacks (13 Kr.) + Dinner (0 - 35 Kr.) = Between 31 and 65 Kroner, or, between 5 and 10 dollars. Hey Rachael, put that in your blender and whisk it. More realistically, if I go for the Happy Tirsdag 20 Kroner Happy Meal (20 Kroner) and get a pastry at Taffelbay or Saint Peter's Bakery (12 Kroner), and eat out for dinner (30-60 Kroner), it will run me 62 to 92 Kroner, which is still around $15 dollars. Moral or the story: If put in Kobenhavn with a true-to-life schedule, Rachael Ray would be one of the very few homeless Danes, asking for money in reasonably looking jackets, with a few teeth missing from her award-winning smile.

Guerrilla and grassroots marketing is a forgotten component of the effective communications plan. With all the sophisticated technology and analytics and measurement tools and metrics that can be utilized, your marketing can fall prey to a cookie cutter approach. Whether it's branding, digital or marketing, all three are visceral and viral when they're done right. WORX can develop non traditional marketing as a companion to your standard tactics, or as an alternate way to do all of your marketing. It's not "wild" or "renegade," and it does – to use the phrase every advertising agency uses – cut through the clutter.

Big Red Car here. The Boss was up very early this morning and out to the lakehouse and back almost before dawn. He’s been a busy beaver these days. He was meeting with someone who was trying to explain something to him that he believed was very simple. The Boss likes simple. In fact, he often says that he IS a simpleton meaning thereby that he likes simple things. If you know The Boss, you know he will not be offended if you call him a simpleton. I would sneak up on it if I were you. So there is a theory promulgated by a 14th Century Franciscan Monk — no, the Big Red Car does not know him personally, silly goose — who espoused the notion that when two theories compete as plausible explanations of a physical phenomenon, the simpler is the more likely explanation. See this guy was a logician. Scientists often note that when there are two competing theories that make the same predictions, the simpler one is the better. Einstein is said to have offered: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” There are those who will be offended by the glib manner in which this idea is discussed but hey, I’m just a Big Red Car, no? Buzzards in a tree So, The Boss is heading back from the lake at about dawn and sees a tree full of buzzards. Here is a picture. Looks to be at least a Baker’s Dozen, no? Not something you will see very often. So, why are the vultures hanging out en masse in this tree? Click on the photo and see it at a larger scale. 1. Is it because this is a monthly meeting of the vultures out at Blue Lake? 2. Of perhaps this is the most comfortable such tree in Blue Lake? 3. Or could it be because there is an enormous dead deer right under this tree and the vultures are taking a rest from devouring it? Bingo — it’s explanation no 3 — there was an enormous dead buck under the tree right alongside the only road in and out of Blue Lake. And, that, Old Sport, is Occam’s Razor in your daily life. In life and business, the simplest explanation is likely to be the right one. Apply it in your life and business and you too can glory in being a Simpleton, no?

Patient dumping remains a concern for nation's EDs Despite the federal law that bars emergency departments from refusing to treat patients with acute medical conditions, lax enforcement and monitoring allow patient dumping to continue, argue the authors of a case study in the August Health Affairs .

I love a classic bobber motorcycle. This Suzuki bobber has the safety and the look I like. I am not a big fan of the pipe, I would rather see a wrapped pipe on my motorcycle. I like the safety of the mirrors and if you check out the other photos down below you will see a monster of a brake light. There are turn signals on the front and the back which are really nice to safety as well. This is what I consider a great starter bobber that everyone could own for a decent price. I look forward to my kids owning a starter bobber motorcycle like this one. Overall I rate this bobber a 4.5 out of 5. I am a fan of everything but the pipe. Great starter bike, keep up the work.

Printing and signage can be complicated. We're here to keep it simple. It started in 2008... two guys, one printer. We were new to the industry, and this was our advantage. Other companies were telling customers to go away and fix their files, but we assumed it was part of our job to figure out how to make their files work. Other print and signage companies told customers when their job would be ready, but we asked our customers when they needed it. Through years of experience and countless sleepless nights we figured out what worked, from choosing a suitable media, to shipping with the right courier company. Now with 17 staff in three locations, we work together by keeping customer service at our core. If you’d like to keep it simple, just tell us where and when. Let us figure out how. The print industry is rapidly changing, so we’re changing with it. We’re up to our eyeballs in market-leading technology, with a range of printers and digital presses from Fuji Xerox, Hewlett Packard, Epson and Canon. Top-shelf printers however are just a piece of the puzzle, so we also offer a range of professional in-house finishing options, including guillotining, contour cutting, digital die-cutting, CNC routing, laminating, binding, mounting, creasing, folding, gluing, forming… and the list goes on. This is all brought together by a range of sophisticated software, making all the pieces work together to provide faster service and the best possible quality for our customers. No one should wait three weeks for business cards. Even three days is pushing it. Today’s customers want instant gratification, and we provide it. With fully equipped branches in Wellington, Auckland and Tauranga, we can meet even the tightest deadlines for your campaign or project. We have a nationwide network of suppliers and contractors to take care of installation, and we’ll manage it all for you with one fully accountable point of contact. We’ve built great relationships with NZ postage and shipping companies – we even print for a few of them – so when you need something delivered yesterday, we’ll find a way to get it there.

Tonight we are going with some Kpop. I'm not getting very wordy tonight, like I have been other nights this week. Just let me say I love Amber. She's the shiz. Have I mentioned that she's damn hilarious? Yeah, I love this chick. This song, Shake That Brass, is from her solo debut Beautiful, which was released in February.

This holiday gift is Bound 2 incite a variety of different opinions. Kanye West’s originality evidently transcends music as the Yeezus artist bought fiancée Kim Kardashian a one-of-a kind, hand-painted Hermes Birkin handbag for the holidays that is… let’s say quite unique. Designed by famed painter and West collaborator George Condo, the distinct bag features nude bodies, demon faces and a convenient place to store your lip gloss! …Well, it’s certainly better than a pair of socks, right? Reviews of the gift have been mixed among fans of the celebrity couple. Personally, I mentally filed the handbag under “it’s the thought that counts,” but I wanted a second opinion so I went straight to my go-to source on all things handbag related: my mother. She was not impressed. “It’s rather bizarre; I can’t imagine that Kim would like it. She has better taste than that, right? I’m just glad he doesn’t buy Christmas presents for me.” You hear that, Kanye? You can take my mother off your Christmas card list. But what about you? Do you approve of Kanye’s gift? Let us know by taking the poll below. What was the wildest gift you received this holiday season?

Retina MacBook vs. PC Laptops: The Battle Begins At its recent Worldwide Developer Conference, Apple introduced the MacBook Pro with Retina display, its latest laptop. This appears to confirm that Apple will eventually merge its Air line with its MacBook line, a move long expected by Apple watchers. Now that Apple has taken the wraps off its next-generation device, where does that leave the rest of the PC industry? PC World asks, “Can Apple’s new Retina MacBook Pro rain on the PC laptop or Intel’s Ultrabook parade? Or will Apple, once again, inspire another flood of PC clones as it did with the MacBook Air and the ensuing Ultrabook onslaught?” Ultrabooks and other Windows-based laptops headed your way in the coming months are bound to be interesting once Microsoft releases the touch-friendly Windows 8, expected in October. Read more about it here. Being More Productive With Mobile Tech There’s no doubt mobile technology has changed our lives and the way we communicate. But it’s also a great way to keep ideas from fading away forever. ZDNet’s James Kendrick writes about the importance of having a mobile device handy at all times, and the benefits of being able to capture that great idea before your attention is pulled in another direction. “Mobile technology plays a major role in my work, as it lets me capture ideas when they occur no matter where I am. Gadgets have evolved to be powerful information capture tools and also make content creation easy,” writes Kendrick. “In the not-too-distant past many ideas would end up lost, but no longer. I grab information as it becomes available, and I use it to lay the groundwork for writing projects whenever a few minutes presents itself. I can leverage mobile tech to maximum effect, no matter what gadget I am holding.” Seton Hall University Offers Lumia 900s to Give ‘Freshmen Experience’ Seton Hall University is going the extra mobile mile with an unusual initiative. It’s paired with AT&T and Nokia to distribute units of the popular Lumia 900 LTE Windows Phone to new incoming students in the class of 2016. University faculty say the phones will help students have 24-7 access to Microsoft’s Office suite. They say the phone giveaway will provide a “more engaged and integrated learning experience,” according to DailyTech. The phones also include an exclusive piece of content called the “Freshmen Experience”. Something like a mini-social network, the feature “adds customized social media integration and direct communication channels with [students'] freshmen peers, peer academic advisors, housing information and roommates.”

Country’s biggest component maker Motherson Sumi is again in news. The company may bid for a division of Bosch that has annual revenues of $1 billion, the Economic Times reported on Monday. It said the bid could be worth $600 million. Motherson did not confirm or deny the news. “We always evaluate opportunities to acquire more companies for growth. But any acquisition should meet our customers’ requirements and generate value for the shareholders,” Pankaj Mital, chief operating officer at Motherson told Business Standard. Motherson has just spent 571 million euros in acquiring PKC, a Finnish firm that manufactures wiring harnesses for commercial vehicle producers. The transaction which was announced early this calendar year was closed last week. Motherson has raised a long-term debt of $225 million euros to fund this deal. The rest has come mostly from cash on the company’s balance sheet. The company’s CFO, G N Gauba said there is large cash on the company’s balance sheet, indicating that money is not a constraint for making more acquisitions. PKC is the company’s sixteenth acquisition since 2002. Acquisitions have helped the company grow its revenue manifold in the recent years. It clocked revenues of $5.7 billion in FY16 and aims to reach $18 billion by 2020. PKC, which has revenues of 846 million euros is an important step towards the 2020 target. “PKC is a market leader in its business in North America and Europe. The deal makes us the largest player now,” said Mital. Motherson gets about 85 per cent of its revenue from international operations.

Incorporating elements of techno, acid, ambient, jazz, funk, electro,'60 exotica, and psychedelic rock, Schmidt's current work, though highly rhythmic, is hardly classifiable as dance music at all, lying at the intersection of a sort of future-anterior auteurism and tongue-in-cheek experimentalism unique in contemporary electronica. Although prolific since his first singles as I, Atomu Shinzo, Bi-Face, and Mike McCoy, Atom Heart began stepping up his production in the early to mid-'90s in association with the noted trance and ambient label Fax, also based in Frankfurt. Through a number of solo and collaborative outings with Tetsu Inoue and label-head Pete Namlook, Schmidt helped to formulate the melodic hard trance and techno sounds associated with the Frankfurt scene, and also had the opportunity to dabble in other forms of electronic experimentation, particularly ambient (to which Fax almost wholly shifted its focus). He released a handful of Fax titles during this period -- including Orange, Datacide, Softcore, and Coeur Atomique -- before Namlook established the Rather Interesting label as a subsidiary of Fax dedicated to Atom Heart-related projects. Although he continues to release material under other names as well (most notably as Lassigue Bendthaus and the Lisa Carbon Trio), his focus remained on Rather Interesting, releasing a somewhat bewildering (given the consistent quality) CD every month and forging a sophisticated, singular aesthetic. Although each title was limited to a 1000-copy pressing, many of them are among the most accomplished, original examples of post-techno experimental electronic music available, utilizing complex split-channel effects and integrated melodic and rhythmic shifts with an iterative, almost mathematical (though never simply derived) eclecticism. During 1999 and 2000, Schmidt earned a higher profile among American listeners with the release of several projects, beginning with Flanger's Templates (recorded with Bernd Friedman of Nonplace Urban Field) on the Ninja Tune sublabel Ntone. In 2000, two covers albums -- Pop Artificielle as lb and El Baile Aleman as Señor Coconut y su Conjunto -- gained a comparatively wide release. The former, distributed through Shadow, featured synth-pop covers of pop hits including Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" and David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes"; the latter, an Emperor Norton release, focused on Kraftwerk songs, performed by Heart's Latin alias Señor Coconut. His Dos Tracks personality released it's debut album the following year, but it wasn't available outside of his website until 2002. Schmidt has also, with less frequency, given his hand to remixing, working over tracks from the likes of Prong, Pankow, the Swamp Zombies, and Resistance D. -by Sean Cooper Discography: 2001 - 14 Footballers In Milkchocolate (CD,Rather Interesting) Read more on Last.fm.

(UPDATED at 12:52 p.m. MDT June 30, 2016) Today the BIA released a “24 Hour Report” about the fire shelter deployment on the Cedar Fire. It provided a few facts that were not previously disclosed by the agency. The six firefighters deployed their shelters in an area that had already burned, and they were evaluated in the hospital for “smoke inhalation”. The Serious Accident Investigation Team will be led by Jon Rollins, Chief Investigator for the National Park Service. (Originally published at 9:52 p.m. MDT, June 29, 2016) The Bureau of Indian Affairs provided more information today about the six firefighters on the Cedar Fire south of Show Low, Arizona who on June 28 found themselves in a situation where they had to deploy fire shelters. The firefighters, all from the Navajo Interagency Hotshot Crew, walked away from the site and were transported to Summit Healthcare in Show Low where they were treated and released that evening. A Serious Accident Investigation Team has been formed and will investigate the circumstances surrounding the deployment. We don’t know why or how the incident occurred, but if recent history holds true, we may never know, thanks to the unintended consequences of Senator Maria Cantwell’s and Representative Doc Hastings’ hastily conceived Public Law 107-203 signed into law in 2002. But putting aside the unknown details of fire behavior, decisions made on the fireline, and the strategy and tactics being used on the Cedar Fire yesterday, there a few things that we do know. - The Type 1 Incident Management Team issued an update titled “Final Cedar Fire Update” on Monday, June 27. It said in part, “While 554 firefighters are working on the fire [Monday] morning, only the Team itself will remain by Tuesday afternoon. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) will assume command of the fire at 6 A.M. Tuesday.” That Monday update said the fire received rainfall on Sunday and more rain was expected on Monday. - The Type 1 Team turned the fire over to the Fort Apache Agency at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, June 28. There was no mention of a Type 2 or Type 3 Incident Management Team. - The Fort Apache Agency posted a fire update on Facebook at 1:05 p.m. on Tuesday, June 28 saying the resources on the fire that day were, “Navajo Hotshots, 3 Type 6 Engines, Fort Apache Fuels Type 2 IA Crew.” And, “Fire Personnel will continue to hold and mop up the fire.” These two crews and three engines probably amounted to a maximum of 50 people, plus miscellaneous overhead. This was down from 554 the previous day, a 91 percent reduction in personnel overnight. - Candy Lupe, a Public Information Officer with the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ Fort Apache Agency, told Wildfire Today that she was not sure exactly when the incident occurred but estimated it happened around 3 p.m. Arizona time on Tuesday, June 28. - The infrared scan of the fire conducted very early Monday morning, June 27, showed “scattered” and “isolated” heat over much of the fire. There was no record of an infrared scan prior to the day shift on Tuesday June 28, but they had been completed every day from June 17 through June 27. We’re not pointing fingers or attempting to lay blame on anyone. Hopefully the investigation will bring to light some lessons that can be learned. The incident brings to mind the Common Denominators of Fatal and Near-Fatal Fires, developed by Carl Wilson in 1976. Mr. Wilson put two lists together, a four-item list based on his studies of 61 fatal fires, and a five-item list that included an additional 31 near-fatal fires. More information about these lists is in our February 1, 2016 article, Are there 4 or 5 common denominators of fire behavior on fatal fires? Almost all recent wildland fire publications, if they publish the list, only have the four-item list. These lists are not intended as a quick and easy checklist for investigators, nor are they rules or guidelines that must be followed. They are simply interesting commonalities seen on many fatal and near-fatal fires. Things to think about, not rules that must be adhered to. Here is the five-item list that includes data from fatal and near-fatal fires: - Most of the incidents occurred on relatively small fires or isolated sectors of larger fires. - Most of the fires were innocent in appearance prior to the “flare-ups” or “blow-ups”. In some cases, the fatalities occurred in the mop-up stage. - Flare-ups occurred in deceptively light fuels. - Fires ran uphill in chimneys, gullies, or on steep slopes. - Suppression tools, such as helicopters or air tankers, can adversely modify fire behavior. (Helicopter and air tanker vortices have been known to cause flare-ups.)”

It was the long awaited game – the follow-up to the 34-33 thriller from last October – and it did not disappoint. The second game of the season for both teams was a high stakes one, with St-Jérôme hoping to regain their winning ways, and Champlain wanting to stay unbeaten. The game started off with the Cavaliers making an offensive turnover their own territory, allowing St-Jerome to take an early 7-0 lead with only 3:05 played in the game. Despite the bad start, Champlain fought back, starting with a superb 35-yard field goal by kicker Jérome Arsenault. Saint-Lambert continued the comeback with the defence forcing turnovers, and the offense capitalizing the plays. Daniel Lazzara hooked up with Maxime Giroux in the end-zone for a 13-yard touchdown, putting the Cavaliers up 10-7 halfway through the second quarter. The Cavs continued their push by adding another touchdown before half-time, scored by Daniel Lazzara, on the ground this time, making the score at half-time 17-7. The offense continued for Champlain as the 2nd-half started, with Cavs receiver Samuel Collette running a superb comeback pattern, putting Champlain up by three scores, 24-7. Interceptions by linebackers Dalton English and Jarek Richards and defensive back Tommy Roadley proved to be too much for St-Jérôme to overcome. They managed to add in a touchdown, but did not make the 2-pt convert, while the Cavaliers added a single, to make the final score 25-13. The win moves the Champlain Saint-Lambert Cavaliers to 2-0, while Les Cheminots fall to 0-2. Collette was not the only receiver to shine. Giroux finished with 5 catches for 52 yards, while Benjamin Pearson (rookie out of St-Pat’s Irish) and Conor Sinclair, (rookie out of Greenfield Park) both had spectacular catches to keep drives alive. Receiver coach J.C. Mercille commented on his squad’s performance by saying, “Our guys applied the game plan ‘to a T’ and made the big catches when we needed them. They also really helped out run support with some key blocks”. The Cavaliers host the Outaouais Griffons in their next game on Saturday, September 12th. Kick-off is at 7:00 PM at Seaway Park 3 in St-Lambert. Stats leaders vs. St-Jerome: Daniel Lazzara: 15 of 30 for 204 Yards and 2 TDs Samuel Collette: 4 receptions for 54 yards and 1 TD Jarek Richards: 6 tackles, 4 assists, 1 interception, 1 sack, 1 pass defended

- Wassup, brah? Pterodactyl Pterodactyl might not be well-known in Pittsburgh -- or anywhere else, really -- but the band's label, Brah Records, certainly carries local cred here. An imprint run by the band Oneida, for the past several years Brah has been home to Pittsburgh underground elites Dirty Faces. And that's no passing association. "Brah is about the people first, but they're all people who are making really good music," says Pterodactyl's guitarist Joe Kremer. "In a sense that's all Brah is, is a community, not so much a record label," says drummer Matt Marlin. "Brah does this wonderful thing of choosing a few records a year that they don't think would be put out otherwise that they would love to see released." One of those records was Pterodactyl's debut full-length, which came out earlier this year through Brah and Cardboard Records. On it, the band fuses clear, melodic vocals -- sometimes in three-part harmony -- to repetitive punky riffs and drum-god splatter. The tension between those elements energizes the songs, whether that's the fugue-like "Esses" or the high-speed chase of "Polio," where Marlin hits an almost Quattrone-like polyrhythmic hurricane beneath relatively subdued vocals. "There's a lack of pretty singing in music that has this kind of energy, and trying to match those two things together is a priority for us," says Kremer. But although it's the band's first album, the group actually landed in Brooklyn in 2002, and was assembled some years before that, in Oberlin, Ohio. "We lived in a house where we had a lot of shows in the basement ... that ended up being people like Oneida and people like Avey Tare and Panda Bear at that time," says Kremer. Another reason the debut is only coming out now is that, initially, the focus was more on performing live. "Before we had a lot of stuff recorded ... people were just reviewing us going by the live show," says Marlin. "We had a lot of comparisons in our early years to Lightning Bolt, which we've never understood ourselves, except if you just think Lightning Bolt is a sweaty band -- it makes people sweat." And there's still a disconnect between the band's recordings and its live show. "No matter what song it is, the live shows have this punk energy," says Kremer, "because that's the only way we know how to play shows. But when we have a chance to settle down with the microphone in front of us, the stuff can be a little more subdued." But which side of the Pterodactyl coin is better? Just don't ask the band. As Kremer admits, "We have a pretty distorted view of what the stuff we're doing is good for." Well, he's right about the distortion. Pterodactyl with Aydin, Death Set and Ponytail. 8 p.m. Tue., July 17. Garfield Artworks, 4931 Penn Ave., Garfield. $7. All ages. 412-361-2262 or www.garfieldartworks.com

Jack the Ripper – A Love Story ( Excerpt 42 ) I think I know who she will be, little ‘Polly’ Nichols, she’s a chronic alcoholic who has already signed her own death warrant. If I don’t take her, she’ll only pickle herself in cheap gin till her liver gives out, much better off dead….definitely! I’ll find her haunts and seek her out and give her eternal peace, it’s a reasonable offer if you consider the way that she lives, selling herself for a tot of cheap gin. That’s no way to live, much better to be dead and returned from whence she came. But much as I would enjoy ridding the earth of yet another of Mary’s friends. I wasn’t about to plunge headlong in to a killing spree without very careful preparation. The reason that most criminals fail is that they take opportunity’s when offered, whether it be a murder, mugging or just plain burglary, they never plan or at least not carefully. They always consider the prize, never the consequences if and when they are caught. I have no intention of being caught by the police or anyone else. I am not a career criminal. I am a physician, by the taking of five lives, I can help eradicate several sexually transmitted diseases. Not only that but I will be sending out a very clear message. Keep these women off our streets! Now I am not trying to set myself up as some kind of moral crusader, but I, as the local Doctor am more than conversant with the diseases these women carry. (C) Damian Grange 2018

The Sacred Valley Tour The Sacred Valley Tour is the second most popular tour in Cusco after Machu Picchu. This tour will lead you on a journey through amazing villages, Inca sites, and a traditional market as you explore the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The tour leaves every Monday through Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Day by Day Places Visited On the Tour: - Pisac market - Pisac ruins - Urubamba – “The Heart of the Sacred Valley” - Ollantaytambo Ruins - Chinchero Ruins On a tourist bus, we will travel from Cusco past Saqsaywaman & Tambomachay, over the mountains toward the Sacred Valley. We will descend 1500 feet to the floor of the Urubamba river valley, arriving in the village of Pisac for a visit to its famous craft market. Located 33 kilometers from Cusco, the village of Pisac sits below one of the region’s most important archeological sites, where you will be able to explore an ancient Inca agricultural center and its stunning terraces. On the guided walk through the Pisac citadel, you will be able to observe temples, residences, altars, channels, carvings, tunnels/caves and the famous Intihuatana, which means “the hitching post of the sun.” For those who would prefer to spend more time in the market instead of visiting the ruins, let your guide know so he can organise a time and place to pick you up when returning through the market. We will continue on to Urubamba where you can stop to buy a traditional lunch in the shadow of snow-capped Chicon Mountain and explore the lush, palm-filled Plaza de Armas before continuing with the afternoon portion of the tour. After another thirty minutes in the car, we will arrive in the town of Ollantaytambo, where villagers still live in ancient stone houses built by the Incas. In Ollantaytambo, you will see the amazing temple of the Sun, stone water fountains, stairs, terraces and the beauty of the local people in their traditional dress, all surrounded by the mountains and the valleys of Patacancha and Willoq. We will end the day with a visit to the ruins in Chinchero, which was an important commercial center during the reign of the Incas and is now known for its weaving and textile traditions. After a brief weaving demonstration near the market, we will explore the magnificent terraces and majestic Inca walls still intact in the village plaza, then return to Cusco by approximately 5:00 or 6:00 pm. - Tour Start Time: Approximately 8:30 am - Tour End Time: Approximately 6:00 pm - Difficulty: Light - Weather : Warm and sunny, with cooler temperatures at night Price: US $20 per person Tour Size: 25 people Private Group: US $400 (this price is for the whole group and not per person) Private Group Size: 1-15 people - Guide who is fluent in English - Transfer from your hotel - Private bus to the sites in the Sacred Valley - The tourist ticket (Boleto Toristico) (S/ 70 or US $24) - Lunch in the Sacred Valley What you need to take: - Original ISIC Card for students - Tourist Ticket - Warm jacket - Rain gear - Money for lunch and the Pisac Market Should I bring extra water and snacks? One water bottle is provided with your lunch. You should always bring extra bottled water with you during the hike, to prevent from becoming dehydrated. Healthy snacks (fruit, nuts, etc.) are highly recommended. How far in advance should I book my day trip? We recommend that you book your day hike two or three days ahead of time, which will give us time to arrange the transportation and guide during the high season. Why is my tour more expensive when I pay with a credit card? When you pay with a credit card or PayPal, there is a 6% service charge added to the total cost of your tour. However, there is no service charge if you pay with cash; for this reason, the total cost of the tour will be higher when you pay with a credit card. Are meals included? No, no meals are included on this tour. However, you will have plenty of opportunities to buy snacks at each village we visit along the way, and we will stop for you to eat lunch in Urubamba. Should I tip the guides? How much is appropriate? A tip is customary, but the amount is at your discretion. Whatever you feel is appropriate based on the service you have received is fine; please remember to always be courteous and respectful with our guides. How many people will there be in the tour group? There will be between 25-30 people on this tour. What is the Tourist Ticket? Is it included? The Tourist Ticket (or Boleto Turistico) will be necessary to enter the many of the tourist attractions on your City Tour and Sacred Valley Tour. The full ticket costs 130 soles and can be used for entry to fourteen historic and archeological sites in Cusco and the Sacred Valley. It can be purchased at most major sites and is valid for ten days. There is also a partial ticket available for 70 soles, which can be used for entry to a limited selection of sites and is valid for only two days. If you do not want to pay for the Tourist Ticket, you can skip entering these sites; however, we at Inka Trail Backpacker feel that exploring the ruins is worth the money!

2013 was a weird year in gaming. Old consoles winding down, new consoles stumbling out of the gate, and Steam growing bigger, stronger, and stranger all the time. According to all the previews, we have the promise of VR goggles, touch-pad controllers, and kinect skeletal-scans to look forward to in the future. Gaming in 2014 might not look anything like gaming in 2013. But that's in the future. In 2013 there were still plenty of great games to play with a good old controller and monitor. Here are the BEST of them that I personally played. It feels a little odd to proclaim Bioshock Infinite the best game I played in 2013. After months of watching the internet pick apart the game's shooting, storyline, ending, and "problematic content", you could almost forget that Bioshock Infinite was actually pretty damn great! I'm not going to say Infinite was a perfect game, but I will say I enjoyed it. I liked exploring the beautiful, yet deeply disturbing world of Columbia. I enjoyed the interaction between the lovably wide-eyed Elizabeth and the jerkass sour Booker. And yes, I did enjoy breaking necks with the Skyhook, I am THAT guy. Give me a world where I can mutilate and ignite a bunch of racist crackers, and I'm probably going to do exactly that. Some of my favourite gaming moments from 2013 came from Infinite. Listening to the Lutece twins bicker back and forth about quantum mechanics, watching Elizabeth dance on the boardwalk, and stumbling through the surreal ending sequence; these are the things I'll remember about Infinite, not how the gunplay was a little old fashion. Bioshock was the game that propelled me to pick up a 360 and join the last generation of gaming. It seems oddly poetic that Infinite should be the swan song of that system. A beautiful note to go out on. Runner up: Rogue Legacy The genealogical "rogue-lite" Rogue Legacy is one of the tightest, most enjoyable games I've ever played. Jumping over spike pits, executing down-thrusts, and dodging traps, it was like stepping back in time to the glory days of SNES platforming. Only better. And with more irritable bowels. Rogue Legacy managed to take the best parts of the harsh world of roguelikes, and marry them to more gentle world of progression based RPGS to create something incredible. Every run into the dreaded castle is still a tense "one-life, one-chance" affair subject to the whims of the RNG, but the ability to upgrade your homestead for future generations gives you a sense of progress and accomplishment – even when you prematurely impale your colourblind wizard on a spike. More than great mechanics, Rogue Legacy has a lot of heart and charm. Maybe I'm a big softie, but I really appreciated the "anyone can be a hero" tagline of the game and the loving treatment of all manner of personality traits and medical conditions. It was a refreshing change to see a game celebrate imperfection. Honourable Mention - GTA 5 I went into GTA 5 feeling a bit cynical. I wasn't exactly chomping at the bit for another GTA, but Rockstar did their usual magic with a few well crafted trailers and some excellent soundtrack announcements and, begrudgingly, got me on board for another go. In the end, I'm glad I gave it a shot. I have a lot of quibbles with GTA 5. The missions that have to be done "just so", the insanely lethal cops, the choice between a far too easy and unsatisfying auto-aim, and the floaty, frustrating cross hairs of the free-aim. There are a lot of little nagging problems. That said, it is fascinating to watch GTA grow up. Rather than re-tell the sorry old "from hood to Kingpin" story again, GTA 5 has more complicated narrative split between three conflicting personalities. A narrative that challenges the very core of the GTA mythos with a middle aged wash-out, a young sell-out, and a batshit lunatic, and says "hey wait a sec, maybe crime doesn't pay after all." Watching the lives of the three protagonists continually turn into dogshit because of their choices felt way more convincing than Niko Bellic wringing his hands about being a criminal from the comfort of his new penthouse apartment. I loved the city, I loved the soundtrack, and I loved the heists. I even loved the online when it worked. Despite all the little annoyances, I had a damn good time with GTA 5. Okay, you want to know a secret? Enemy Within is my real GOTY. Yeah yeah, I know it's actually just some DLC for a game that was released last year, but nothing else blew me away this year like Enemy Within. It's a masterpiece. XCOM: Enemy Unknown was already my favourite game of 2012, and Enemy Within took everything I loved about that game, made it better, added in a bunch of new stuff, and corrected some of the bugs and foibles of the original. The addition of new enemies that punish your old habits, the incentive of the new Meld upgrade to move faster and more aggressively than ever before, and a wealth of new classes, equipment pieces, and upgrades to experiment with makes Enemy Within play more like an entirely new game than some piece of DLC. This is DLC the way it should be. Meaningful content that makes the game better, deeper, and doesn't feel like some tacked on cash grab. If there is one thing I would to see from the industry in the future, it would be less map packs and skins, and more Enemy Within. We had a bumper crop of indy treasures this year and it's hard to pick a favourite, but Rogue Legacy edges just ahead of the crowd. Like I said above, its a fantastic game that I'd recommend to anybody. Runner up - Gone Home While most games thrive on the bombastic and spectacular, Gone Home is a celebration of the small and the personal. It is a quiet, introspective tour of a few relatively mundane lives and the minutia that makes them tick. And that's amazing. I adored my time in the Greenbrier home. I had more fun picking through the family VHS collection and snooping through their personal correspondence than I did nailing any sick headshots this year. As an unabashed pop culture nerd who grew up in the 90's, it's a given that I loved the obsessive level of detail the Fullbright team went to in their recreation of a mid-90's home. But more than that, I felt an emotional connection to the characters in Gone Home. I cared about them. I really wanted Sam to be happy and live the way she wanted, I was rooting for the dad with his schlocky sci-fi novels, and I was hoping things would turn around for the mom and she'd stop eyeing up the hunky park ranger. If Gone Home did one thing, it proved that a well written, well presented, personal crisis can be more compelling than any alien invasion or nuclear threat. Honourable mention - Papers, Please If you ever dreamed about living in a Soviet state, going day to day on a government stipend, never sure when the boot of oppression was about to crush down on you, boy have I got the game for you. Also, seek help. Papers, Please isn't a feel good game. It's a game of intense pressure, frustrating clutter, and uncomfortable moral choices. Putting you in charge of the Arstotzka border crossing, it's up to you to enforce the rules of the state on every travel seeking entry into the country, no matter how byzantine the documents get, how sad the old lady's sob story is, how sick your son is back at home, or how much unrest is brewing within the populace. Or not. Maybe you feel like you should take a bribe from that sketchy terrorist group and move the family into a higher class of domicile. Or maybe you'll take a kickback from your soldier buddy and detain a few extra suckers who's papers didn't measure up. Or maybe you're thinking it's a good time to start heading for the border yourself. Despite your stationary position at the border crossing, there are an awful lot of choices hidden away in Papers, Please, and not many of them offer a clear distinction between good and bad. The game forces you into unsettling compromises and makes you come to grips with being a cog in a terrible machine. It's like nothing else I've ever played. It isn't a horror game? There are no ghosts that need busting after all? Nope, it's way more awesome than any of that! What a lovely surprise. Runner up – DmC Hey, it didn't suck nearly as bad as everyone said it would! In fact, I really enjoyed myself! Fact: I will never get tired of kicking that little shit-stain Nightwing through a skyscraper. Injustice might not be as deep or as smooth as some other fighting games on the market. True to NetherRealm standards, there is a fair amount of jankiness and weird character imbalance to be found in their latest title. But you know what? None of that really matters because Injustice is fun. After a few years of highly technical fighters full of 1-frame links and arthritis inducing joystick gymnastics, it was great to break out a fighting game I could play with a few friends on the couch and have a good time with. Injustice takes the recognizable faces of the DC universe, translates their weird powers and abilities into a 2D fighter better than I would have imagined, and pours a healthy helping of crazy-sauce over the whole thing. You have a single-player story where Superman is the badguy, Aquaman feeds his opponents to a shark, and people get launched into orbit on a surprisingly regular basis. Step to my Lex Luthor and I'll show you what a man with a kryptonite axe and satellite death-ray is capable of. This isn't a tie, it's a combination winner. While I wasn't super blown away by either game on their own, I think playing both games one after the other benefits them both and creates an experience greater than the sum of their parts. There are a lot of similarities between Machine for Pigs and Outlast. They are both modern "non-combat" horror games where you have no way of actually fighting the monsters and have to focus on escaping or hiding from them. And they both explore the similar subject matter, just at different ends of the century – Machine for Pigs wallowing in the misery of industrialized London, and Outlast exploring the cruelty of a mental asylum/medical research lab operated by a modern American corporation. The "gameplay" in Machine for Pigs is remarkably thin. The puzzles are generally straight forward, and the sanity meters and tinderboxes of the original have been replaced with a much greater emphasis on story and narration. It's less of a game and more of a visual tour of a story. So it's a good thing that the story is great and the visuals are every bit as disturbing as you'd expect from an Amnesia game. Outlast, ironically, cleaves closer to the original Amnesia's game design, exchanging batteries for your night-vision camcorder for lamp oil. It is the exact same mechanic, forcing you to scrounge and explore for resources to keep things nice and illuminated, and ramping up the pressure as you get turned around and lost. You can't help but begrudge every wasted second as your batteries run dry. Amnesia weaves a classic Gothic tale of a desperate man broken by his prophetic vision of the 20th century, while Outlast uses the trappings of the modern found-footage horror film to trace back the lurid history of the past century and the horrors that have been committed in the name of progress. Machine for Pigs does a better job of creating a palpable atmosphere, while Outlast provides the game mechanics to balance it out. The two couldn't have dovetailed any nicer if the developers had planned it! In a year crammed with amazing sequences, I would have NEVER expected that my favourite gaming moment this year would happen in Outlast. But then again, nobody told me about Dr. Trager. In a game full of disturbing imagery, traumatized and broken people, and unhinged psychotics trying to kill you, hearing Dr. Trager's voice over the intercom, urging you to the safety of his medical ward, is a light in the darkness. Finally, somebody sane in this place! Too bad Dr. Trager is probably the most unhinged psychotic of them all, and expressly intends to turn you into a traumatized and broken person. With a perfect blend of pitch black comedy you can't help but giggle at, mixed with truly terrifying acts of malice, Dr. Trager's introduction is by far the stand out sequence of the game. It was the moment I went from kind of passively enjoying Outlast with an indifferent attitude, to REALLY engaging with it with white-knuckled intensity. And oh God, what that man does to your fingers... Runner up – XCOM Base Attack It isn't any kind of surprise when it happens, but the mission to defend the XCOM HQ in Enemy Within had me grinning ear to ear. Then grimacing. Then crying. After taking it to the aliens in the field time and time again, I felt surprisingly vulnerable fighting them on XCOM's own turf. Underneath it all, it's the same old mechanics with the same old enemies. But seeing them stomp all over your own digs? Having to send out rookie XCOM security guards as cannon fodder while your real squad makes their way through the base? It feels like they've invaded, broken some kind of unwritten rule of the game. Fending off carnivorous Chrysalids under the glow of the XCOM strategic holo-globe is a moment I won't soon forget. Honourable Mention - Bioshock Infinite, Girls just want to have fun Unlike a lot of people, I didn't have as big a problem with the violence in Infinite. Still, the best moment of that game is undoubtedly touring the fair ground with Elizabeth. Her childlike excitement at finally being out of the tower and meeting new people is such a tender and wonderful sequence. And when “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” comes on over the circus calliope, it's just a perfect moment. I know, I know, NOBODY CARES ABOUT MECHWARRIOR BUT YOU, WRENCH! But it's my list and I'll sulk if I want to. Look, I don't think anyone who played MWO's protracted open-beta for any length of time was expecting miracles. After the harrowing near-year of disasters, set-backs, position reversals, and outright developer hostility, most of us kind of knew that MWO's launch wasn't going to be everything we might have hoped for. Still, even the lowest of standards couldn't have prepared us for the wet-fart of a launch we got. After more than a year of promises about a launch that would feature a new and improved UI, a switch to the fabled DX11 graphical drivers, bug and balance fixes galore, and the dangling carrot of role playing as a Mechwarrior for your chosen House in GRANDSCALE community warfare, MWO's launch did NOTHING. It was little more than PGI peeling off the beta sticker and insisting to the roiling masses that, yes, the Emperor did have new clothes, and yes, they were FANTASTIC. It's not just that PGI made a bad game (and they did). It's that they squandered so much potential. The MechWarrior franchise has been begging for a new game for years. The fanbase was so passionate for this game, so willing to spend crowd funding bucks to get it going, and so eager to support the developer and oblige them during every disastrous patch that broke the game in strange new ways. The background lore for BattleTech is so rich, and bizarre, and campy, and ready for a fresh take. All the stars were aligned for a triumphant return for this once beloved PC gaming institution. But instead of tapping into any of that, the lead developers at PGI loosened their belts, pulled down their slacks, and took a big old dump on all of it. Months after launch and we're still hearing the same lies they were spinning this time last year, the gameplay is more stagnant and broken than ever, and the predatory F2P hooks more greedy than you could believe. Grab your $500 Golden Clan mech now! What a deal! Fuck you MWO, you broke my Goddamn heart. Ok, you can call it a gimmick, but it was a gimmick I LOVED. Infinite's use of chronologically displaced pop hits set to turn of the century rag-time tunes and instrumentation not only subtly conveyed a bunch of information to the player about Columbia without a lot of clumsy exposition, it also sounded amazing. I ended up listening to the old tymey versions of “Everybody Wants to Rule The World” and “Happy Shiny People” long after I was done with my time in Columbia. I'm flatly embarrassed at how much I loved the calliope rendition of “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”. Runner up - Risk of Rain Risk of Rain is an odd game that I don't expect everyone to love. But EVERYONE should at least listen to the soundtrack. I maxed out on chiptune stuff a few years ago, but Risk of Rain brought me back in a big way. Probably because it's so different from the regular chiptune milieu. Instead of driving beats and an emphasis on aggressively electronic bloops and bleeps, Risk of Rain comes at you obliquely, with sad stray piano notes and haunting strings. It's beautiful and sad and hits me straight in the heart. Look out for Chris Christodoulou, I bet we'll see him composing for games a lot more over the next few years. Honourable mention - Machine for Pigs Sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly, the soundtrack to Machine for Pigs is imperative to the experience. The strings may eat you. I might have enjoyed shooting the racist shitheads in Columbia a little too much. Origins was a bit of a let-down, but by God I just love snapping limbs as THE BAT. You could smell the internet shit storm a mile away. I still think the Xbox One turned out OK, but that announcement with it's emphasis on sports, TV, and restricting used games will haunt them for years to come. A total meltdown.

Понравилась презентация – покажи это... CANNES LIONS 2015 CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 CHANGE IN THE AIR The looming Taxi v. Uber strike at Cannes Lions, the 62nd Festival of Creativity, last month was in many ways quite prophetic, or at least extremely fitting with a key theme of the event. While the planes flew in, the sun beat down on the Côte d’Azur, and the rosé flowed, there was a counter thread of tension (and not just among French taxi drivers). Many talks explored what the rising dominance of digital platforms, AI, and the continued exponential growth of big data will mean for traditional services, creativity, human imagination and— ultimately—the future of advertising as we know it. CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 After all, we’re living in a world where historic business models are being unseated at record pace thanks to rapid adoption of digital, consumerfirst platforms that cut out the middle men; where robots can convincingly pass tests as humans; and where big data can be used to program hyper-personalized advertising more efficiently than human judgement— and can even write a TED talk. Right, IBM’s cognititive super computer, Watson CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 “What’s clear is that in the near future AI won’t be so ‘artificial.’ Advertisers will have to really understand how sophisticated these devices have become.” BEN JONES, CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER, AKQA CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 The emphasis on tech giants compounded this at Cannes Lions. Google Beach stood center stage, flags flying, corks popping, with a stage featuring daily talks. Facebook’s beach pop-up was nearby and similarly lavish. So what of the work? Public safety, emotion, new payment methods, social good and small localized initiatives were the key trends among the winning brands observed by Matt Eastwood, J. Walter Thompson’s worldwide chief creative officer and jury president of Promo & Activation Lions at the festival. “There was sun safety, cyclist safety, safety from sharks. There was a lot of emphasis on making the world safer,” explained Eastwood. Right: Shell #makethefuture player-powered football pitch. CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 These could be seen in the big wins, from Volvo’s Life Paint (right); to Domino’s award-winning Tweet-toorder; to Always’ "Like a Girl" campaign; to Lucky Iron Fish. “Overall, brands were looking to attach themselves to societal causes. Combining creativity with social good,” said Eastwood. See: Clever Buoy, a transmitting shark detector in Australia; Lucky Iron Fish, a simple piece of metal designed to fight anemia in Cambodia. CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 Whisper’s "Touch the Pickle" (India) and the UN’s #MyMothersNameIs (Egypt) both centered on specific cultural insights raising awareness of issues in a local way. Purpose-driven initiatives were everywhere. Has it reached critical mass? Top: #MyMothersNameIs, UN Women Middle Left: Touch the Pickle, Whisper Middle Right: #ITouchMyself, The Cancer Council Bottom: Coffee vs. Gangs, Kenco CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 NEW EXCHANGES “There was a whole range of brands experimenting with substituting payments for different exchanges—paying with a tweet or emoji (see award-winning Domino's), love, or hugs, trying to elevate transactions into something more meaningful,” observed Eastwood. “Though brands have to be careful with this. McDonald’s 'Pay With Love' campaign for the Super Bowl famously backfired.” CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 “One of our ongoing discussions was: Where’s the ‘funny’? Any work that came along and had a bit of levity to it really jumped out. Maybe not everyone, like us, will spend six days with award-winning work and get cynical about it. But I definitely think we need to see a move toward simple, funny entertainment next.” MATT EASTWOOD, WORLDWIDE CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER, J. WALTER THOMPSON CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 “Emotion and social good will always be popular,” said Ben Jones, chief technology officer at AKQA. “But the bar has definitely been raised. After this year’s entries, next year brands will have to work much, much harder. They’ll have to show innovation and genuine evidence of doing something good, otherwise judges will see through it.” Jones sees hardware innovation as a growing trend at Cannes. “Creating concrete, tangible solutions that become marketing in themselves. That’s exciting,” he said. “I thought it was very telling that the Grand Prix went to Google Cardboard (below)," agreed Eastwood. "The award was given to a platform, not the expression, for the potential it unlocks.” DATA V. CREATIVITY Several talks and panels centered on the implications of big data for creativity, including one featuring J. Walter Thompson’s worldwide planning director, Guy Murphy, called Data and Creativity: A Beautiful Tension, held at the Admap Prize event with Marc Mathieu (SVP marketing, Unilever), David McCandless (data visualization expert, Kantar) and Emma Whitehead (creative director, Kantar). Right: Airbnb’s Global Data Visualization project "A World of Belonging." CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 Dentsu executive planning director Koichi Yamamoto also spoke about these tensions in his session Data in the Age of Creativity. “Only the human brain has the power to imagine the unknown. But advanced AI combined with human creativity will mean endless possibilities,” he said, adding elsewhere that he believes data is simply a new creative medium. During Cannes Lions, London-based Jason Bruges Studio and MEC created the installation "Emoticannes: The Art of Always On," which featured a structure of multiple screens reacting live to attendees' tweets. CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 “It felt like a step forward from previous years. It was less about highlighting the importance of it or using phrases like ‘big data’ and ‘analytics,’ and more about discussing where we can start to integrate data in a truly creative way.” RACHEL ARTHUR, SENIOR EDITOR, DIGITAL, WGSN CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 GEN Z PLATFORMS Teens, and teen-focused platforms (almost sensing a generation Z moment), were hot on the agenda, not only because they’re early adopters of new platforms but also because they're the most voracious consumers of media right now. 92% of UK/US teens report going online daily—including 24% who say they go online “almost constantly,” according to a recent study from Pew Research Center. They’re highly digitally connected too. According to our latest SONAR™ data, 86% of UK/US teens use smartphones multiple times a day. 72% have a laptop and 70% have a smartphone. YouTube was ranked most popular among teens over Facebook and Instagram in a 2015 GlobalWebIndex survey. The platform was a centerpiece at Cannes during Google Beach activities and talks. Snapchat founder and CEO Evan Spiegel was also prominent at talks. During the festival, Spiegel took part in a talk with Cosmoplitan editor-in-chief Joanna Coles. WPP, DailyMail and Snapchat also announced the establishment of Truffle Pig, a joint content marketing venture, offering planning content development, content creation and distribution during the week. CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 SNAPCHAT Snapchat is one to watch currently. 4 in 10 teenagers use the app, according to Pew Research Center—remarkable given that it only launched in 2011. It has 100 million users. According to the company, 60% of 13- to 34-year-old smartphone users in the US are active on the network and together view more than 2 billion videos a day, already about 50% of the number of videos people watch on Facebook, which is seven years older and has 10 times as many members. Not only this, but as the shift moves toward video on social networks, Snapchat seems to have created an extremely effective way to make teenagers watch videos in full. Snapchat’s vertical format (different from typical landscape videos on internet networks) means that viewers are 9 times more likely to view them in full. Critics have been quick to point out its quirky buttons, orientation, and user journey, which are not intuitive and different from most established apps, but this seems to be part of the appeal to teens. CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 Vice Media, beloved of teens and valued at $2.5bn last year, was also prominent at Cannes Lions. It was name checked numerous occasions in talks, not least by WPP CEO Martin Sorrell for tapping into a new type of news content that appeals to teens. “Content on Vice I think is very strong,” Sorrell is quoted as saying at an event hosted by Johnny Hornby, the chairman and chief executive of The&Partnership. “It’s just that stylistically it’s very different. ...[Traditional newspapers] talk about trust, and the implication is that we don’t trust a Vice. Well young people do trust a Vice. That is the real point. It’s just the way they deliver news is markedly different.” Interestingly, Snapchat has recently hired CNN political reporter Peter Hanby to be head of news. CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 INSTAGRAM STARS Cameron Dallas, below, he of 6.8 million Instagram followers, stood out in the audience at a talk hosted by Eric Edge, head of brand strategy at Instagram: "Capturing and Sharing the World's Moments." The topic of Instagram and usergenerated photography came up: Will Instagram allow users like Dallas to directly monetize their photos? Or make money from advertising like, say, a YouTube? We’re in an era where popular Instagrammers are being commissioned in their own right to produce campaigns (see Diesel tapping Doug Abraham, cult Instagrammer @bessnyc4, to work on campaigns, after all). Edge explained that instead Instagram focuses on brand partnerships and collaborations, over sharing revenue. Is there an opportunity being missed here? NEUROSCIENCE Neuroscience is suddenly everywhere, following both the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year and SXSW Interactive, where it was very much a buzzword. At CES in particular there were multiple devices claiming to harness this science to help well-being. Cognitive neuroscientist Itiel Dror gave a talk at Cannes about the use of cognitive neuroscience in advertising. In an interview after Cannes, Dror told the Innovation Group that many people do not truly understand what it is, and how it can be used effectively. Pictured: Lia Chavez’ The Octave of Visible Light, an immersive nightclub light show based on the artist’s brainwaves. CES 2015, The Cosmopolitan. CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 “It’s the understanding of how people perceive things and what impacts their behavior. It’s important in branding for people to understand, as different parts of the brain control perception and behavior. You have to ensure messages get to the right part of the brain to stick, and cognitive neuroscience can help this.” Dror has already been working with various lifestyle brands on perfecting the perception and resonance of their logos and design hues. “A common misconception is that humans are rational, and make only rational decisions. They are not irrational, but they act beyond rational. Emotion is a huge part of decisions. Also, asking consumers what they think or how they will react to something is pointless. They only tell you what they think they think, not what they actually think.” CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 NEUROSCIENCE RETAIL Dror has conducted numerous tests for brands identifying unconscious cues and references to perfect brand design based on choice, visual imagery, word association and the speed of decision making. His work has implications for brands and store design. “Consumers today are presented with too much choice on shelves. They are overwhelmed with too many options that they have to perceive, interpret, then make a decision about not just if they want to buy, but what to buy. But then too few choices is not good either. They need to feel a sense of curation to be empowered.” The most exciting part about all this is the potential of big data and the internet of things. As our lives, the way we orient stores and the world becomes more digital, there’s scope to integrate neuroscientific experiments into how we orient sites. Google, Amazon (if they aren’t already) could integrate this into the user journey and shopping pages. “It will transform research,” said Dror. CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 BIG PICTURE ALTRUISM Beyond the plethora of mission-based campaigns, apps, solutions and innovations aimed at solving everything from domestic violence to road deaths, the center Pavilion Stage also featured a series of grand-scale calls to action. Whether it was Jamie Oliver calling for a global food revolution, Al Gore talking about sustainability, or Richard Curtis’ first-ever global cinema ad campaign, celebrities and political figures were thinking big. BBH founder Sir John Hegarty and filmmaker and humanitarian Richard Curtis unveiled the creation and distribution of the "First Ever Global Cinema Ad Campaign." In September 2015, 193 world leaders will adopt a new list of global goals for sustainable development at the United Nations in New York. The goals are a series of ambitious targets to end extreme poverty and tackle climate change by 2030. Project Everyone, founded by Richard Curtis, aims to share these global goals with 7 billion people in 7 days via cinema screens around the world. CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 Al Gore was also ambitious for the digital age—for its ability not only to resolve political bias in the US, but to save the planet and also restore Amercia’s role as global thought leader in its policies. “With the shift from an information system dominated by printing press, to broadcasting, the system [of dialogue] broke down,” said Gore. And with it a shift to one-way communication dominated by money. This, Gore argued, has degraded America's ability to make good decisions and be a true democracy. "American democracy has been hacked," he said. “It’s urgent not only for the interests of the US but for the interests of humankind and the world that the US find ways to restore its ability to make decisions based on its best values and to limit the degrading impact of lobbying and money.” CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 WOMEN IN FOCUS Many talks addressed gender equality, gender issues and new feminism. This was also shown in the awards, where Always’ "Like a Girl," Under Armour’s "I Will What I Want," and Sport England’s “This Girl Can" were big winners. This year also saw the launch of the Glass Lion: The Lion for Change, with LeanIn.Org, the organization founded by Sheryl Sandberg, focusing on work that addresses issues of gender inequality or prejudice. Panelists included Maureen Dowd, columnist at The New York Times; Kat Gordon, founder of the 3% Conference; Thalia Mavros, founder and CEO of the Front; Tina Brown, founder and CEO of Tina Brown Live Media; Tista Sen, national creative director and SVP, J. Walter Thompson India; and Windsor Hanger Western, co-founder and president, Her Campus Media, with Meredith Kopit Levien, chief revenue officer at The New York Times, as moderator. Highlights on the female agenda were events from The New York Times, The Women’s Lounge and J. Walter Thompson. In a talk dubbed “The Feminine Mystique 2.0,” the panel addressed how technology and globalization are reframing gender equality. Below left, Dazed & Confused with Samantha Morton launching Female Firsts, an initiative to champion female creative talent. Right, "The Feminine Mystique 2.0" panel. CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 Former Ogilvy & Mather CEO Charlotte Beers and Martin Sorrell also held a talk at Mindshare’s space dubbed "How to Be a Better Leader." “Women are raised to think they should be modest, which is dangerous,” said Beers, adding that she believed women were more intuitive in negotiations. “Men are better at owning their victories. Women don’t know how to own their victories.” TINA BROWN, FOUNDER, CEO, TINA BROWN LIVE MEDIA, SPEAKING AT "THE FEMININE MYSTIQUE 2.0" CA N N ES LI O NS 20 1 5 NEW WOMEN'S MEDIA Vice has historically been more lad-ish in comparison to its more female cultural/ fashion competitor Dazed & Confused— though Vice Media owns i-D Magazine. Now it’s looking to rectify this with the launch of Broadly, a new female-focused channel covering a variety of topics including politics, culture, lifestyle, sex and fashion. During Cannes Lions, Vice announced a multiyear deal with Unilever to support Broadly. Thalia Mavros, a former executive creative director at Vice Media, is soon to launch the Front, another new female-focused platform. This follows the launch of The Pool, launched in the UK by radio personality Lauren Laverne and Red Magazine editor Sam Baker, a transmedia platform aimed at giving women a mix of politics, news, fashion, sex and cultural content relelvant to their lives. Signs of change? All offer a new vision of women’s media that goes beyond the glossy fashion magazine. Contact: Lucie Greene Worldwide Director of the Innovation Group J.

The Maine Juvenile Court Process If you or your child is 17 years of age or younger and are accused of committing a state, federal crime in York and Cumberland Counties, Maine, then your child are likely to be arrested and summoned to appear before the Juvenile Courts in one of the District Courts in York County or the District Courts in Portland, West Bath, or Bridgton District Courts in Cumberland County. ~ Maine Juvenile Law Attorney, David N. Wood – Maine Juvenile Law Attorney. The Maine juvenile court system is designed to both adjudicate criminal cases involving children, while protecting your child’s privacy rights, as well as those of any alleged victims. The juvenile system can often be more lenient than the adult courts which prosecute similar crimes and charges. It can, however, also be a more onerous process for child defendants and their families, as there is often much more supervision, probation, monitoring and restrictions involved. A heavy-handed juvenile court punishment can sometimes lead to a child being unnecessarily bogged down in a system against their wishes. It is therefore advisable to consider hiring a top Juvenile criminal lawyer prior to appearing before the Maine Juvenile Courts. If your son or daughter 17 years old or younger, and is suspected of committing a juvenile offense in Maine, then it is likely that a police officer or detective would want to interview your child in the course of their investigation. Many police departments in the York and Cumberland County areas have divisions within their departments that specialize in juvenile investigations. These divisions—sometimes called “Youth Divisions” or “Special Victims Units”—receive specialized training in working with children and their families, and they always contact a juvenile Community Corrections Officer or “JCCO”. No matter who contacts you from the police, however, understand this important fact: parents have the virtually unconditional right to be present with their child during all police interactions, questioning, and interrogations. Therefore it is critical that if your child is suspected of committing a crime or a juvenile offense, then you should advise law enforcement that you would like to be present for all interactions with your child. Additionally, prior to speaking with the police, this would be another ripe opportunity for you to consult an experienced juvenile attorney to assist you in dealing with law enforcement, as anything you or your child says to the police can be used in a criminal prosecution against your child. Bond v. Juvenile Detention The arrest process in the juvenile court system is very different from the adult process. There are no bonds or bail amounts set by Maine police departments. Either the child is released to the parents on a promise to appear in juvenile court, or the child is detained by the police and brought to a juvenile detention facility until the arraignment, which is held on the next business day. For juveniles arrested in York County, they will be summoned to appear for their arraignment in either the York, Springvale, or Biddeford juvenile courts. In Cumberland County, they will be summonsed to appear in Portland, Bridgton, or West Bath. Judicial v. Non-Judicial Disposition Prior to your child’s arraignment, all juvenile cases are reviewed by Juvenile Assistant District Attorneys along with the JCCO’s to determine the specific prosecution track. There are two options here: “judicial” versus a “non-judicial” disposition. Less serious juvenile offenses are designated as “Informal adjustment” and are removed from the courtroom process and turned over to a juvenile probation officer who will work with your child and family, monitor the case, and order an appropriate punishment such as community service, counseling, drug testing and academic deliverables (i.e. no unexcused absences, good grades, etc.). “Judicial” designations of a Maine juvenile case arise in the following circumstances: When the charges against your child are more serious in nature; When the child has a prior record of juvenile charges; When felony charges are involved; When charges involve the sale or possession of certain drugs, and firearms; and When the child is not compliant with the Probation Officer’s recommendations in a non-judicial disposition. As part of any judicial juvenile case, a Superior Court judge presides over the case, and the child’s criminal defense attorney and the prosecutor enter into plea bargain negotiations. If an agreement cannot be reached, then the matter proceeds to trial. Confidentiality of Juvenile Records As mentioned above, all juvenile court cases are strictly confidential. The juvenile courtroom is closed to the public. The court records and police reports are sealed and are not available for public review in either the Clerk’s office or otherwise. Further, almost all of the juvenile cases handled by our firm do not result in any criminal convictions and allow the children we represent to exit the process without any kind of criminal conviction record whatsoever. Can my child’s juvenile case be transferred to adult court? A key concern for many of our juvenile clients and their families is whether their child’s case can be bound over to adult court, which obviously raises the stakes for the child on several levels. First, the penalties and punishments for convictions are much more severe and include jail time, adult probation, and hefty fines, all of which would now be in play. Second, and just as important, once a case is transferred to adult court, all confidentiality of the case is lifted and your child’s identity and charges become part of the public record. So what triggers a transfer to adult court? Charges for Class A and Class B felonies are reasons the prosecutor may want the child tried as an adult. The juvenile prosecutor also has the power to request the transfer of other charges to adult court. However, there are legal mechanisms we can be invoke to have the case transferred back to juvenile court, a priority of the juvenile. This occurs in a Bind Over Hearing. My goal is to keep your child’s case in juvenile court at all costs. There are also scenarios where we have successfully requested that cases that have been transferred to adult court be remanded back to juvenile court. Whether a York or Cumberland County case goes “through the juvenile process or becomes an informal adjustment, it will get transferred at some point to a JCCO who is assigned to the case. Our firm often works closely with these officers to ensure that our juvenile clients are compliant with their probation conditions, and we often are successful in advocating for the early termination of probation. This happens frequently, especially in cases where are juvenile clients are thriving in their family, community, and academic settings. Contact Us Today: As explained above, the Maine juvenile court process is very different from the adult court system. It’s complicated and can be overwhelming and confusing. So if you or your child has been charged with a juvenile crime or offense in York or Cumberland, or are summoned to appear in juvenile court in Southern Maine, call an experienced Maine Juvenile Law Attorney at Wood Law Office to learn how we can help you. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ator 207-831-6273.

Edvard Munch, 1889 Edvard Munch (Ådalsbruk, Norway, 1863 – Ekely, Norway, 1944) is certainly the most influential figure in the History of Nordic fine arts. His particular style, which swings from of the “European trends” to the Norwegian national style, is the reason why this artist is considered a figure of historical significance. His work, worldwide known for representing of anxiety, distress and disease (and the loneliness all these produce), is an essential chapter in any manual of Contemporary Art History. In 1915 Nielsen Laurvik praised Munch’s work in the catalog of the exhibition “Scandinavian Art at the Panama-Pacific”, held in San Francisco: “His independence inwardly encouraged others. Revolutionary, original and disturbing, he occupies in the Norwegian art a position analogous to that of Ibsen in Norwegian literature: both found similar recognition. Accepted and known abroad as one of the greatest artists of the modern era, he is rejected and despised by most of his countrymen who only see madness and perversion on his masterfully revelations of the soul’s truth”. Only his friend and teacher Christian Krohg defended him: “He paints, or rather regards, things in a way that is different from that of other artists. He sees only the essential, and that, naturally, is all he paints. For this reason Munch’s pictures are as a rule “not complete”, as people are so delighted to discover for themselves. Oh, yes, they are complete. His complete handiwork. Art is complete once the artist has really said everything that was on his mind, and this is precisely the advantage Munch has over painters of the other generation, that he really knows how to show us what he has felt, and what has gripped him, and to this he subordinates everything else”. Provided this aesthetic excision with Oslo artistic circles and the subsequent huge international receptivity of his work, we wonder which are the influences absorbed by him were, unlike other Norwegian contemporaries, and the paths taken to reach this original and unique paradigm: the expressionism. There seems to be a key work to find the origin of this creative journey, between the dissociation of what he learned in the workshop of Christian Krohg and his visceral work. According to his own testimony, the origin of his most personal work, emerged during his first visit to the Paris Salon in 1885 and materialized on a work made the same year, “The Sick Child“. After that trip to Paris, where he met in The Salon the most advanced painting movements and felt particularly attracted to Gauguin’s art, his work evolved from naturalism to symbolism and, finally, to his own style: expressionism. The influence of this artist is evident in his early works, but we can also recognize some interest in Van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec and Whistler, among others, in the simplicity of form and the use of unconventional colors. In addition to style influences, Munch’s work cannot be explained without the psychological references . The early loss of his mother and his sister Sophie, due to tuberculosis, during his childhood and adolescence marked and influenced his life forever. Munch’s artistic expression describes this experience of pain, death, loneliness, anguish and decrepitude. Paintings like “The Sick Child” with obsessive repetitions and versions, demonstrate the deep and unavoidable impact these events had on his being. When Munch’s early works reflecting his intense personal pain, such as “The Sick Child”, were exhibited in Kristiania, the unashamedly raw application of the paint and the ‘unfinished’ quality caused a storm of protests from the press and public. Despite this initial hostile response, his one-man exhibition in 1889, which was more optimistic in tone and featured a monumental portrait of Hans Jaeger, secured him the first of a series of state scholarships which allowed him to study in France for three years. “The Sick Child” is a sad freeze-frame from Edvard’s life in which he portrays the moment before his sister died of tuberculosis in 1877. The devastating psychological effect of losing a loved one is intensely revealed in Munch’s obsession with this painting: first painted in 1885, he often returned to this image, painting it many times, until 1926. His fixation with the scene shows the deep impact this event had on his psychological state, and how it continued to affect him throughout his life. Munch described the painting as a ‘breakthrough’, writing ‘That picture […] provided the inspiration for the majority of my later works’. Perhaps this breakthrough was his ability to express his sister’s death with pure emotion on a canvas. He describes this time of his life: ‘I could not believe that death was so inevitable, so near at hand […] Was she really going to die?’. Although his words portray a sense of his hurt and confusion at the prospect of death, they do not fully communicate his feelings. However, it appears that Munch could paint what he could not describe. “The Sick Child” is like a page from a diary, full of emotion and sentiment. Each version that Munch painted depicts the same scene: a pale, sick child with her carer, the woman so overcome with sadness that she cannot look at the girl. The dark colours reflect the sombre mood and maybe even give a clue to Munch’s developing depression. As his breakthrough came with such a personal painting, it shows the profound effect that his psychological state, in this case depression, had on his art. Time after of that “breakthrough”, while studying in Paris and in Nice in the south of France, Munch was influenced by the Impressionists’ fascination with light and by the growing Symbolist movement which inspired his symbolic use of colour and simplification of form. He saw the work of Gauguin and van Gogh, whose “Starry Night” he paid tribute to in his own painting of the same name thirty years later. These influences, together with the curving, sweeping lines of Art Nouveau, were rapidly melded into his highly individual style. With regard to his style and the movements his work responds to, he said: “I began as an Impressionist but it was limited and I had to find another way of expressing the emotional turmoil I experienced during that Bohemian period of my life … ‘The Sick Child’ was the first break from Impressionism. I was searching for expression.” He refers again to this artwork as a milestone, a key break in his career, considering it like important and decisive to understand his arrival to expressionism. The Sick Child, 1885 [Oil on canvas; 119.5 × 118.5 cm], National Museum, Oslo, Norway. Somehow the quintessential expressionist artwork of Munch’s career, “The Scream” (1893), cannot be understood without considering to this work, “The Sick Child“. Both works were not well received by critics and were classified as “demented art”. Later, the Nazis classified Munch such as a “degenerate artist” and all the paintings he had at an exhibition in Germany were censored. However, despite all the setbacks suffered by Munch and his work, after the II World War and especially the late twentieth century, the work of this Norwegian artist acquired a status of a cultural icon, particularly his painting “The Scream“. It appeared in 1961 as the cover of Time magazine and was also used by mainstream artists like Andy Warhol. For all this, Edvard Munch has been recognized as the leading exponent of modernist expressionism and creator of an essential chapter in the Universal Art History.

Britain has announced the death of another serviceman in Iraq, but Prime Minister Tony Blair says there is progress toward restoring normalcy there, despite increasing violence. Prime Minister Blair has told parliament the latest British war casualty in Iraq, Corporal Ian Plank, was a greatly admired and widely respected member of the Royal Marines. The defense ministry says Corporal Plank was killed by hostile fire last week, the 52nd British serviceman to die in Iraq since the invasion in March. Prime Minister Blair blames the ongoing violence in Iraq on small groups of Saddam Hussein supporters and foreign terrorists who have infiltrated since the invasion. He says there is a lot at stake in defeating them. "If we can make Iraq better, if we can show that the propaganda about us seizing the oil or desiring to destroy the Muslim population, if we can expose that as the propaganda and lies that it is, then of course the signal that will send across the whole of the world," Mr. Blair said, "and not least in the Arab world and the Muslim world, will be enormous, tremendous and positive in its impact, and that is precisely why these people are in Iraq at the moment. They know that this is a battle not just about the future of Iraq, but a battle about whether we can establish a situation where Iraq becomes a prosperous, democratic, stable state and then acts, if you like, as a beacon to the rest of the world." In a related development, British Defense Secretary Geoff Hoon says 12,000 British troops remain in Iraq, down from 30,000 who joined the invasion. Mr. Hoon told an interviewer the British military has spent $5 billion on the conflict since March, but he expects those costs to begin declining soon.

Sharing this encouraging word from The Passion Translation of the Bible: I HEAR HIS WHISPER… “You have asked Me, When will the waiting be over?” I will never be late or fail to keep My promises. Why would you be impatient when you know that I hold all things in My hands, including the timing. My time clock moves in the rhythm of My love. So be sensitive to the wisdom of My timing and you will grow in the ways of eternity. Faith is never in a hurry and you will be thrilled beyond measure when you see what I accomplish in your life. “Abraham waited patiently in faith and succeeded in seeing the promise fulfilled.”

It was my office neighbor’s 50th birthday this year, so I wanted to make her an extra special birthday card to commemorate it. She is Thai and her birthday was on a Tuesday, so I went with a pink themed, banner card in a box: - Sunday – red - Monday – yellow or cream - Tuesday – pink :^) - Wednesday – green - Thursday – orange or brown - Friday – light blue - Saturday – purple or black My supplies for this project were all basic and on hand: - Cardstock paper - Glitter paper I used a box template and rolled paper flower template I purchased from Silhouette. The rest of the banner I designed myself. I cut everything out on my Silhouette Cameo and assembled away. When I was done, I wrote her a message on the back of the last card of the banner and signed it. As you can see, I put my newfound rolled paper flower skills to good use. I used my new McGill paper shaping tool to make these flowers and I absolutely love it. It made the whole process quick, easy and relatively painless. I am really looking forward to exploring the other tools in the kit. There is a molding tool in the set that looks quite interesting . . . An inspiration that really paid off was using a double ribbon between the letters. This made the card easy to take in and out of the box and also helped keep the letters from spinning and making the message hard to read. Here is my vertical banner card in all its glory. It turned out fantastic and my colleague really liked it. The box lid made for a natural hanger for the banner, and it was easy for her to use it as a decoration by hanging it off a pushpin in her office. I popped it on her desk when she wasn’t looking so she would be surprised. It was fun. This was a great birthday card. It was interactive, 3D and celebratory. A mini party in a box. I am really looking forward to making another one of these someday. One challenge I did have was with determining the height of the box. Unfortunately, I had to trim down the sides after I had already glued it together because I did not wait to assemble it until I knew how tall the banner would be. It would have been so much easier to trim while it was flat. Not a big deal but an important detail I did not want to forget. Oh, and happy redbud flower time from Hazel and Lenny!

On February 8, 2017, the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice (STJ) ruled that the Central Office of Collection and Distribution (ECAD) has the right to collect fees over the performance of streaming services, a technology that broadcasts multimedia information to users through data transfer without the need of downloading the content, used on services such as Spotify and Google Play. The debate was based on an article of the Brazilian Copyright Law that forbids the public reproduction of music without its author or owner’s prior and express consent. ECAD’s main argument was that even within the digital environment, streaming would qualify as public reproduction. The other party in the lawsuit, OI MOVEL, owner of OI FM radio, seeking to avoid being charged copyright fees due to the transmission of music in computers (webcasting streaming), argued that such charge would mean a double collection by ECAD, since OI FM already paid copyright fees due to the musical transmission on standard radio. Although the lawsuit referred to webcasting streaming, which occurs when the content, either recorded or broadcast live, is made available to the users on the Internet, STJ’s decision also affects the simulcasting modality. In this case, there is a simultaneous transmission of content in more than just one conventional media, such as radio or television. The lawsuit began in 2009, on Rio de Janeiro. At first instance, the sentence was favorable to OI FM. There was an appeal against such decision to the Court of Appeals, who ruled in favor of ECAD at first, but then reviewed the decision and decided for OI FM. After this final decision on the STJ, ECAD may now charge copyright fees due to streaming services. The sentence has not been published yet.

Kubernetes has, of course, become something of a de facto standard for container orchestration. It already had the backing of Google (which incubated it), as well as Microsoft and virtually every other major cloud player. So AWS is relatively late to the party here but it does already have over 100,000 active container clusters on its service and that these users spin up millions of containers already. AWS’s users are clearly interested in running containers and indeed, many of them already ran Kubernetes on top of AWS, but without the direct support of AWS. But with this new service, AWS will manage the container orchestration system for its users. ECS for Kubernetes will support the latest versions of Kubernetes and AWS will handle upgrades and all of the management of the service and its clusters. AWS CEO Andy Jassy noted that when the company launched ECS, there wasn’t really a container orchestration system like Kubernetes. He stressed that ECS is deeply integrated with the rest of the AWS platform and that it scaled “in a much broader way than other container services.”

“Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’” If you do an internet search of images of Jesus, you will find pictures from many completely different perspectives. One picture from Latin America shows Jesus on a wanted poster. A Korean painting shows Jesus with Korean features carrying the cross. A painting from the Philippines shows the crucifixion in the style of the cubists. Some of the images portray the raw emotion of a violent and horrific death on the cross. Others show Jesus in relationship with the people around him, depicted as people from the artists’ native lands. There are images that show Jesus in every emotion and in every situation we see in the scriptures. One picture from Latin America that has been reproduced in many and various ways is called “The Laughing Christ.” It shows Jesus with a huge smile on his face, as if he had just heard the best joke. He is happy and he isn’t afraid to show it. His laughing face reflects the words from the psalm above and which we will read in worship this week. Of course, there are times when we have reason to be serious. Life can be difficult, confusing, and grievous. King Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes that sorrow is better than laughter. Laughter is often seen in a negative light because we sometimes go about life and faith with a lack of seriousness. But in the Psalm 126, we are reminded that there is joy in what God has done for his people. Remember, Miriam danced when the Israelites made it across the Red Sea. David danced when the Ark of the Covenant arrived in Jerusalem. It’s almost impossible to not dance in celebration and joy without laughing! Joy comes from God, and when we know the joy of the Lord, it is impossible not to laugh. We have good reason to laugh: Jesus played the most incredible joke on the devil. Satan thought he’d have control once Jesus died, but in three days Jesus was raised to new life and we now have everlasting life by his grace. We joyfully look forward to the life we will share with him forever. The devil can’t take that from us. Please join us this Sunday as we rejoice so that the world will see how God’s promises have been fulfilled through Jesus! – Adapted from Sola Publishing’s “Weekly Devotional”

A University of Washington research team has released a new video of Barack Obama in which they superimposed his mouth speaking about the June 12 shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando onto an entirely different recording of his face. The result is a hybrid video that looks and sounds authentic, but is fake, and it’s especially troubling when you consider how this technology could be used to make fake news videos in the future. How the technology works The research team used a computer system called a “neural network study” to analyze hours of video footage of Obama speaking to the camera. They then used a computer animation program to realistically recreate Obama’s mouth movements, even nailing details like his lip color, teeth, tongue and oral wrinkles. After they had an animated recreation of his mouth, they superimposed it onto a video of Obama speaking in a different place altogether — so while the words are his, he didn’t say them in the location shown. The researchers also took audio recordings of Obama from different points in his political career and made four separate videos of him saying the exact same things in four entirely different locations, wearing four entirely different sets of shirts and ties. His body and facial reactions are real, but his mouth is not. Here’s a video that shows exactly what they did: What’s disturbing about this video? The video above also shows the research team taking Obama’s old speeches, rearranging the words and then creating a video that makes it look as if he’s actually saying the newly arranged words in a single seamless video take. They did the same thing with an Obama impersonator, recording the impersonator’s words and then making it seem as if they’re coming out of the real Obama’s mouth. While the technology is undoubtedly mind-blowing, the potential for abuse is scary. Let’s be clear: The technology is not yet advanced enough to create fake videos of just anyone saying anything — thus far, the technology only works well with Obama because there’s so much video footage of him speaking directly into a camera. As a result, his animated mouth is always front-facing and never turns or dramatically changes shape. However, with advanced technology and enough hours of footage, fake news peddlers could conceivably create videos of politicians or celebrities saying all sorts of incendiary things that were either rearranged from their past speeches or voiced by an impersonator. This future may not be too far off considering that a Canadian company recently unveiled software that can imitate people’s voices. Right now the recreated impersonations sound a bit robotic, but they may sound more realistic as the technology improves. Considering the real world impact that fake news can have — remember the Pizzagate gunman? — the potential abuse of this technology make it worth keeping an eye on.

What a time to be alive. Pro snowboarders, surfers, and ams all alike came out to Mt. Bachelor for The Gerry Lopez Big Wave Challenge. Everyone was flowing through this surf-inspired field of solid waves. With what may be the most fun looking course of any kind from this past winter, people were perhaps getting a bit more surfy than one usually would on a snowboard.

|photo from Craigslist| It was at this point that the fun began. I had ordered Anne Sloan's chalk paint from Robyn Story Designs, a retailer in Florida. They were awesome to deal with...I ordered late on a Friday afternoon and received my Anne Sloan paint, waxes and brushes by Wednesday morning. Don't you just love instant gratification? If you are in the market for chalk paint, you should call Robyn Story Designs...they have inventory of Anne Sloan paint and waxes and are so helpful on the phone. You can see in the above photo that when you first apply the clear wax it slightly darkens the paint color. However, once it dries, it lightens up again. I started stapling...

Sunday, May 15, 2011 N’WIDE: Nightmare Wreck For MacDonald Motorsports Nets Koch Inaugural Last-Place Run Blake Koch picked up the 1st last-place finish of his NASCAR Nationwide Series career in Saturday’s 5 Hour Energy 250 at the Dover International Speedway when his #82 Daystar.com Dodge was involved in a two-car crash during the opening lap of the 209-lap race. The finish came in Koch’s 12th series start. In his third season of driving for Randy and Pat MacDonald’s Nationwide Series team, Koch has qualified for nine of the season’s first eleven races, culminating in a career-best 16th at Talladega last month. Saturday’s race at Dover would see Koch switch numbers with part-time teammate Donnie Neuenberger, giving Neuenberger his second opportunity of the season to drive the team’s primary #81 car. Koch was moved to the #82, which netted him the finish at Talladega. 46 cars were on the initial entry list, but when rain washed-out qualifying, three teams with last-place finishes this season were paid to withdraw by Rusty Wallace Racing: Matt Carter (#68, Texas), Mike Harmon (#74, Fontana), and Johnny Chapman (#75, Nashville). This allowed David Reutimann, driving for Wallace’s “go-or-go-home” third team (#64) to compete in the race sponsored by team sponsor 5 Hour Energy. Neuenberger and Koch, locked-in before this arrangement, would line up 27th and 33rd under NASCAR’s new rain-out qualifying procedure. However, when the green flag dropped, the race turned disastrous for MacDonald Motorsports. Entering turn three, Mike Bliss tried to pass Neuenberger’s #81, but the two made contact, sending Neuenberger spinning up the track - directly into the path of Koch’s #82. The two cars collided, tearing apart the left-front wheel assembly on the #82 with the driver’s door of the #81. Both drivers were uninjured, but Koch’s day was done. The car, stuck on pit road, was towed behind the wall before the race restarted. Neuenberger returned to finish 33rd, forced to park after 70 laps for failing to meet the minimum speed requirement. *Both MacDonald Motorsports and the #82 had not finished last in a Nationwide Series race since 2010, when Matt Carter scored his own first last-place finish after his #82 Mobile-Shop.com Dodge lost its brakes after the opening lap of the 2010 Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen. *A Nationwide Series driver had not finished last due to an opening-lap crash since 2008, when Kertus Davis’ #01 RaceGirl Chevrolet wrecked in turn eight during the first circuit of the 2008 Corona Mexico 200 at Mexico City. *This was also Dodge’s first last-place finish in NASCAR competition. The last time a Dodge finished last in any of NASCAR’s top three divisions was last November, when Dennis Setzer’s #92 K-Automotive Motorsports Dodge fell out with a vibration 3 laps into the 2010 O’Reilly Challenge at Texas.

Tuesday, September 18, 2012 Rational writing goals for 2013. It’s time to set some rational goals for 2013. For 2013, I hope to write three novels, one a mystery in the Maintenon series, one science fiction, and one in another genre. The third book could be a thriller, a high fantasy or whatever—I don’t care, all I need is the gag. Otherwise, I don’t know what it’s about, which makes it difficult to write. Assuming I live ten years, this would result in thirty books at the rate of three a year. If I live twenty years, and if I’m still capable of writing, then I would theoretically be able to write sixty more books, looking forward from this day. I could squeeze out a few short stories and maybe a few poems by then as well. I would very much like to see some really professional marketing images, not just for new books but all the titles so far. This requires money, and one of my goals is that the money to invest in the business is generated by the business. Another goal is not to pay 30 % tax withholding to the IRS. I’ve applied for my passport, in order to properly identify myself to them and get an ITIN, which Smashwords requires, etc, etc. I will continue to write short stories, and submit them to pro markets, and for 2013, I will be creating some new pen names. Nothing has been decided yet, but we would need pen names for mystery, science fiction, horror, fantasy, but the WW I memoir could remain as ‘Louis Shalako.’ Right? Gee, I don’t know either! But another question is whether I would open fresh accounts and publish all of them under separate accounts, or simply use Shalako Publishing as an umbrella organization. With all the recent talk of sock puppets and fake reviews and stuff, it’s easy to see that some negative connotations might be associated with one guy writing under half a dozen names, and at the same time pretending to be ‘a small press,’ or ‘an emerging press.’ It’s all me, right? I could be anybody. You have no idea of who I am, right? People will think I’m just in it for the money. They’ll say all sorts of nasty things about me. I get quite a bit of that now… What has stopped me so far is that I really don’t have a procedure all mapped out in advance. At some point, someone will have to make a decision, and I ought to know, because I used to work in construction. In order for all of this to happen, there are a few things to tidy up before the end of 2012. This includes making new marketing images for the five or six paperbacks I have out now, as well as making danged sure the new ones I create meet some kind of minimal artistic standards. I have a couple of novels coming out, one October 1 and one November 1, so there is a bit of what I like to call ‘a time-suck’ there. I have those well in hand, but the images still need some work. Before the end of the year I’ll produce a couple or three more short stories. November is Nano-Write month, in which millions of people all try to write a novel in about a month. Normally what I do is to write short stories exclusively for the month of November, as it suits my purposes well enough, and it represents some kind of participation. It’s also motivating to try and hit the word count, right? And why not? What have I got to lose? Not much, in strictly objective terms. I mean, take a look at me: I’m just some guy. Right? But the whole objective with the short stories is to have something new to submit around to professional magazines. It represents more than just a cash sale. It’s something to put in a bio or a blurb, and it helps to build a readership. Before winter is over, I should have every full-length novel on the list published as a print on demand paperback. That’s another goal. When I published my first couple of e-books it was exciting. My hand shook when I did it. It was fun, too, because of that sort of rebellious spirit that I exhibit occasionally. No one really knows what’s going to happen. There was no great stir of controversy over my first couple of books, and while that was disappointing, now I know better what to expect. But a major goal for 2013 is to bring back some of the fun, some of the excitement of self-publishing. One way to do that would be to apply for a cultural grant and use it to publish a couple of other people’s books. The problem that I see with that, is the question, ‘What is my goal?’ What purpose would it serve? If my goal is to break new authors, with all the pen-names and fake entities out there, finding someone who is not an established pro is problematical, and if the goal is simply to learn how to publish someone else’s book, then I guess it wouldn’t matter whose book it is! Some clear and logical thinking on my part would appear to be in order, however the deadline for application is November, so either I hurry up and do it, or postpone it for another year. As for excitement, opening up the e-mails to discover a hundred submissions might be kind of exciting, or it might just be a pain in the wazoo. Also, with all the talk of sock puppets going around, someone will inevitably suspect that I own those books, and might be fraudulently giving myself an advance from monies intended to assist an emerging press…red faces all around, in that scenario. The problem is to identify just exactly who we are dealing with when entering into any contracts with putative or prospective authors. As for submitting novels to major publishers, the whole thing is such a crashing bore that I might do it, and I might not. But once a book is submitted, there’s nothing for it but to wait to hear back, (it’s only polite,) and some folks aren’t that good about sending rejection slips. I see it as a sense of entitlement. On their part, not mine. (I’m entitled to my friggin’ rejection slips, I’ll grant you that much.) Are you entitled to first crack at anything that I write? That depends on your world-view and your philosophical outlook. I kind of doubt it, although I would be interested in your reasoning. I’m just saying. If you would prefer not to discuss it, that’s fine too. Note: I don't have a donate button on this site. The best thing you could do to help an independent author is to buy one of their books.

Image retrieval with a multi-modality ontology. Date of Issue2009 School of Computer Engineering Centre for Multimedia and Network Technology Ontology represents domain concepts and relations in a form of semantic network. Different from the traditional at structured feature vectors, ontology provides more information through concept de nition and relation inference. Many research works use ontologies in information matchmaking and retrieval. This trend is further accelerated by the convergence of various information sources supported by ontologies in the multimedia research FIeld. EFForts have been made to shift traditional content-based retrieval approaches toward concept-based approaches. Both text and image features are extracted and integrated to improve the classification and retrieval performance. However, there are many open issues on the ontology understanding, definition, construction, utilization and implementation. The extra work required by ontology based approaches becomes one of the major di culties that hedge against the development. This thesis mainly focuses on nding an e ective ontology model for multimedia information retrieval. More specifially, we look at the problem of image retrieval in the dynamic and noisy web environment, and propose a multi-modality ontology to better understand web image by incorporating both image and text features. Prototype systems are set up to prove the feasibility of the model. We then investigate the problem of scalability in ontology construction. Later, by taking advantage of both structural and content features of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia , real world objects are formalized in terms of concepts and relationships. Association rule mining algorithm is designed to improve the quality of the generated ontology. The retrieval performance by the automatically built ontology is comparable to the previous manually built one.

The market for the past few years has been on the buyers’ sides, so it isn’t surprising to have seen some lowball offers. Recently, the market has been changing in places, and a lowball offer may affect a buyer in ways they had not thought of before. Trulia wrote a post about five facts to consider, and they are good ones. Here is my take on those five things to consider. 1) Understand the Market Temperature. What does this mean? Well, if the market is on a downturn, then a lower offer may not be unreasonable, because the market is showing that it is declining. If list prices are up, as are contract prices, take note. You can be sure the seller has been watching what is happening around them! 2) Use Comparable Homes to Decide on Offer Price. Is there a home that looks similar? What did that home have? The kitchen was original? The basement unfinished? If the home you are considering has granite counters, beautiful cabinets, hardwood floors, and a finished basement, then that house should be worth more than the one that needs all of that work done. 3) Time. How long has the house been on the market? How long has the buyer been looking? If the house has not been on the market for a long period of time, the seller may feel that their asking price is right. 4) Sellers are Human. What if the seller feels their house is priced correctly for the market, and a buyer offers a very low price? How do you think the seller would feel? Unhappy? Offended? Very possibly. If a buyer truly feels the house is worth much less than the seller’s asking price, then they should demonstrate why. 5) The Buyer May Never Get The House. If a seller feels slighted or offended, keep in mind #4 — sellers are human. Might that offense mean the seller won’t work with that buyer? Possibly. And they may sell to someone else who offers more up front, even if they negotiate to where you would have come up to. Sellers don’t have to counteroffer. They can reject an offer outright. A buyer should understand the market and what is happening, and a buyer’s agent can help guide them through the process by sharing facts and statistics. For more information on a specific area of Baltimore real estate, please contact me. I would be happy to help! *Please note, if you are under contract or working with another agent, I cannot be involved in that situation! Thank you!*

Ticking by the AC? Just bought my 07! Every time I turn my car on, even when it's just the key, no ignition, there's a loud ticking sound up by my AC vent. It happens every time for about 3-5 seconds then goes away. I may have had the air on, I will go look after I post this, but I don't think is coming from the actual vent. Thanks!

The Tank Commander About forty years ago, it fell to me to question a former Nazi tank commander who had been in Berlin in 1943 when Europe was in the Hell of World War II. A chess tournament in Berlin attracted the eye of the tank ommander as it had that of complete chess unknown, Rudolph Wolf. Wolf entered the tournament and drew the eyes of everyone as he moved from one level to another, ultimately capturing the championship. Unfortunately, the Gestapo investigated him and discovered that Wolfwas, said the tank commander, a “submerged Jew”, for he had “Jewish blood” in his history. Wolf was promptly imprisoned in a concentration camp. The tank commander, in relating the story to me, seemed to re-enter the war as if he and I were in a holy place. He painstakingly described Berlin in detail, the eternal fires, the dead everywhere, many of them hanging in apartment closets in which they had hidden. One could see them, he said, hanging like mannequins in the upper floors of buildings whose walls had collapsed. His voice almost became inaudible as, in relating the details of mass destruction, his arm ever so slowly moved up and down and sideways as if he were conducting an orchestra of the dead. He said that Wolf survived the camp and in 1948 Wolf became his client. He told Wolf that he had watched him playing in the tournament and that there was an eerie quality about him, as if he were playing calculatedly with the air of a nobleman. No, said Wolf, he naturally felt the anxiety in running the risk of discovery, but it all dissolved when his chess skill enveloped him, gently taking possession of him and making him oblivious to the world about him. “My chess art”, he said, “made a self-destructive move in me that I could not have foreseen.” “What of the record of your championship”, asked the tank commander, “It was destroyed by the Gestapo. How did that make you feel?” Wolf looked at the tank commander and smiled. “They gave me a better record of what happened. Germans are born obsessives. They make a record of everything. They leftarecord of the fact that they had destroyed my record.” I was so taken aback by the tank commander’s story that I briefly left the room. I needed the space in which I could recapture the facts behind my interrogation, facts that had absolutely nothing to do with Wolf, Berlin, its forgotten dead, all of whom had been incanted by the tank commander. When I returned to my room, I found the tank commander not in the seat where I had left him but standing in the far corner of the room, his only arm extended over a table on which I kept a chess set. He looked up, holding a chess piece, and said, “I like this chess set you have, Mr. Reynolds. Where did you get it?” “From someone in Moscow”, I said. He smiled sadly, pointing to his empty sleeve. “I almost reached it”, he said. “I know”, I said, shaking his hand, “My Russian mother told me when I was a boy.”

How To Easily Write WordPress Posts and Pages That Rank The Step by Step Guide to Writing Posts That Rank Using SEOPressor A key component to your blog’s success is getting organic traffic from people searching for what you’re writing about. Whether you write about a passion, your industry, or product reviews, getting targeted organic search engine traffic will help you get more unique visitors and earn more money. In this article, I outline exact how to write blog posts (and even pages) and rank well in search engines for any topic. The steps and tips in this article are largely based on a cool plugin I use called SEOPressor, which helps me follow all these rules every time I write, without ever having to think about it. Without SEOPressor, I would barely have a clue on how to rank my content for myself or my clients. Know Your Target What this post will not help you do is identify your target audience or keywords. If you’re writing to rank for something, you should already know what you’re trying to rank for. Decide on your keywords and phrases. Keep in mind, the longer and more specific the phrase is, the easier it will be to rank for it. You can use tools like Google Adwords keyword tool to do this kind of research. I won’t go into much detail here as researching keywords and phrases and identifying your target market merits an entire article in itself. With that said, here are the key points and steps to keep in mind when writing your content. Remember, SEOPressor literally makes the steps below a total breeze. Headings With Keywords You want to ensure that your keywords are somewhere within your header tags. You actually have to get quite specific here… Ensure that you have your keywords in your H1 tag – this is like your title. Have your keywords in your H2 tag – this can be any heading in your content. Have your keywords in your H3 tag – this can be any sub-heading in your content. You might think: If heading tags with keywords help rank my content, why don’t I just put ALL my content with keywords in h3 or something instead of a paragraph? Simple, because Google will know what you’re trying to do, and there goes your ranking. They figured that one out many years ago. This can be easy to forget, which is why I recommend SEOPressor so you never have to remember. You want to make sure you fall within the ideal keyword density of the terms you are trying to rank for. This means that you keywords or phrases should appear a certain amount of times throughout your content for it to rank well – not too little, not too much. The ideal keyword density is 2% – 5%. This means if you have a 200 word blog post, you should have your keywords appear 4 – 10 times. With any less, you’re not significant enough… with anymore, Google might think you’re sketchy. This occasionally takes some basic math. Take your word count and divide it by the amount of times you mention your keyword phrase. You can see your Word count at the bottom of your post while writing: Again, SEOPressor does this for you, so you never have to do any counting or even have to remember it. Another tip on this: size does matter. There’s no specific rule for this, but generally a 600 – 800 word article will do better than a 400 word article. SEOPressor checks article length for you as well. Optimize Your Images You want to include your keyword or phrase in any images on your site. You do this by clicking the edit image icon and adding your keyword to “Alternate Text.” SEOPressor will not only remind you to do this, it will actually do it for you automatically… so you never really have to think about it. Underline and Italics On Keywords It’s important that you underline your keywords something and put italics on them. Do the underline and italics for two separate occurrences of the keywords. Again, SEOPressor to the rescue. Not only will it remind you, it will actually do it for you. SEOPressor Will Rock Your World The real key to powerful SEO is automating the process. SEOPressor does all the stuff above, and so much more, for you. Check this out: It literally checks everything for you, and a bunch of this stuff for you automatically. It even gives you an overall “SEO Score” and measures your keyword density. All you have to do is type in your keyword or phrase and let SEO Pressor do all the work. This is like having an SEO Export standing next to you while you write every post or page. Actually, it’s like having that SEO expert edit your post for you without you thinking about it! If you already have a bunch of content on your blog and don’t want to go back through each post individually, SEO Pressor actually has a tool that scores all your posts and pages and makes individual suggestions. Check this out: SEOPressor is awesome for you if: - You have a niche site or blog - You have a personal passion site, and want people in your community to find you - You have a virtual assistant that writes for you - You are a professional SEO consultant - You have a web design business or you freelance - You are totally new, and want to start off right Anyway, I can’t recommend this enough. It will boost your ranks and save you countless hours… and help you make a lot more money in the process. Even when I’m not particularly writing to rank for anything, but just to share, I keep my SEOPressor score in mind. It’s hard not to, since it actually tells me on every post. What’s this thing cost? The single site version is only $47, but I wouldn’t recommend that you buy it. I have the multi-site version, and always recommend that it’s the version everyone buy… unless you know for sure you’ll always only have one site and domain. I use it on all my own sites and my clients’ sites. Once you get SEOPressor and automate your SEO, make sure you take these other SEO practices into account as well… - Create relevant permalinks for your posts and pages. Don’t always just rely on the title. - Create custom descriptions for your posts, you can use a plugin like All In One SEO to do this. - Do some external SEO. Get backlinks. Comment on blogs. And more… we’ll have an entire post on this later as a complement to this one. - Actually follow all the suggestions SEOPressor gives you. While it automates a lot, it also tells you what you can personally tweak to improve each post and page. If you have any questions, please comment below! Note that I’m not an SEO expert… I seriously do rely on this SEOPressor plugin to do the hard work and “research” for me. Even if you don’t automate and simplify this process with the plugin, I hope the tips and tricks in this post were valuable for you and serve your blog!

By Louise Hooper When my mother immigrated to the United States, she didn't entirely leave her Peruvian heritage behind. Sure she learned the language and adjusted to the customs, but my sister and I were well aware growing up that there was a bit of Incan flare in our home: From unorthodox Christmas time traditions, to decorative plates of the Nazca lines in our dining room. But if there are two things Peruvians (as well as any people of hispanic background) love, it's music and food. Today we will be talking about the latter. Keep in mind, this isn't a recipe guide, but rather just a brief overview of some dishes I particularly enjoy. At some point in your life or another, you've probably eaten a variety of different cow parts; brisket from the upper body, sirloin from the back, ribs from the... well, ribs. You get the idea. We like to use most parts of any animal we eat. Yet if you were to tell someone in the states that you had eaten a cow's Heart at some point in your life, they would probably raise an eyebrow or two in your direction... unless that person happens to be a Peruvian, in which case you'd be in good company. Anticuchos are pretty straight forward: cuts of meat served on a stick like a kebab. What makes an anticucho an anticucho however is the specific piece of the cow used, which you might have already guessed is the heart. While the idea of cooking an animals heart might seem grotesque to some, it is actually a very tender piece of meat, with a soft chewy texture and mild yet satisfying flavor (not counting the plethora of spices that would be applied, of course). Perceptions of certain animals vary from country to country. To Americans, Cockatoos seem like rare exotic birds, but to Australians they're practically pigeons. Cows are seen as mere livestock to Westerners, yet they are revered as holy beings in the streets of India. And while someone in the states would think "Animal Companion" when they think of a guinea pig, a Peruvian would think "Dinner" Much like how we use the word Chicken, Cui is a word used to describe both the guinea pig animal and the guinea pig's meat. It's a very common dish in Peru, and can be found served in a majority of restaurants across the country. It's a very gamey meat, comparable to rabbit, but unlike rabbit, Cui is traditionally served whole... yes, even the head. The head of the Guinea Pig is served still attached, gaping toothed maw spread open, as it is served on your plate. The rest of the animal's body is served flattened with limbs extended. it's a hilariously grotesque display, but the average Peruvian citizen isn't bothered by it. And hey, it's some pretty good meat. Noodles. The name Tallarines Verdes literally translates to green noodles. Green tends not to be a very appetizing color to a lot of people, and seeing a pile of green stringy stuff may not sound mouth-watering at first, but I assure you one taste is enough to make the sight of it plenty stimulating. Pasta preparations tend to be the same anywhere you go in the world, but as they say, the secret is in the sauce, which just so happens to get its distinct green coloration from a mixture of basil and spinach. Other ingredients include condensed milk, pecans, and Queso Fresco, which literally translates to "Fresh Cheese". While the naming conventions of this dish leave a little to be desired, the creamy, rich, yet not overpowering flavor are sure to satisfy, especially if served with some fried milanesa. life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When life gives you oranges, you make orange juice. And when life gives you corn, you make Chicha. And if there's one thing South America has in abundance, it's corn. Chicha is found in a variety of South American countries, with different variations based on the local maize available. all prepared by boiling corn in water and adding a sweetener (and in some cases alcohol, but not always) but there is one kind of chicha that is unique to only Peru: Chicha Morada. Chicha Morada has a sweet, nutty flavor, and generally served without alcohol. For those without any knowledge of Spanish, the name basically translates to "Purple Corn Drink" and yes, where most Chicha is a yellow color, Chicha Morada's claim to fame is its distinct purple color, produced from boiling purple It's widely considered one of THE signature beverages of Peru and has a history of consumption even predating the Incas of old. when people think of Spanish food, stuff like Tacos or Paella come to mind. But just like divergent evolution in animals, the different cultures of South America's various countries have also evolved in different ways, and food is a major aspect of culture (and I've only talked about four dishes). So keep that in mind; there's more on the menu than you might think further south than the south of the border. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/9669066

We’ve seen the idea of BYOD grow from one person who began finishing their work on the tablet that was being carried back and forth to work, to company policies being created. It was a simple idea: “if I use my own tablet or smartphone, I can work on a project while I’m on the commuter line going home.” Of course, once several people got on board the BYOD train it began to pick up momentum and as mentioned, companies now have policies concerning the corporate use of BYOD. If you’re an old IT manager, as I was, the first thought that most likely came to your head was, “How am I going to keep all these devices secure?” Naturally, what the CIO wants is that you are responsible for your own device. This means that if you want to use a BYOD then it is your responsibility to make sure that all the data, as well as the corporate home front, is kept secure. A recent article in Network World (News - Alert) asks the question of how this can be achieved. It seems they are looking at the two most common forms, but those two suggestions that are antithesis ideas are to have the CIO’s hand on a kill switch, or reward the worker by issuing a stipend that goes toward paying their mobile bill. As you can see, one scenario is incredibly harsh, while the other is a reward of sorts, which brings us to the question, stick or carrot? Which do you think will offer greater compliance to company policy? AdaptiveMobile (News - Alert), which is a company that deals in mobile security, recently released the results of a survey that looked at 500 companies and employees to find out how secure both ends are. The survey found that 80 percent do support BYOD. Unfortunately, it also found that about 50 percent of the companies experienced a breach in security within the last 12 months. We are not just talking about a peek at information; one company included in the study lost $80,000 when its financial database was hacked last year via a mobile device. You can see that the risks involved in using a mobile device on an unprotected network are incredibly high. In fact, Centrify, a company that provides Unified Identity Services across data center, cloud and mobile, surveyed more than 500 employees at mid-to-large companies, and found that just less than half (43 percent) have accessed sensitive corporate data while on an unsecured public network. This is the type of response that forces CIOs to think about using the stick method. Consider that Centrify’s survey found that personal account information or passwords were compromised for 15 percent of employees. The same amount feels that they have no minimal responsibility to protect data on their personal devices. This is a case of a small number of people who do not want to follow the rules making it hard for the majority. With 15 percent feeling no obligation that means that 85 percent could lose the option of BYOD if all companies decide that is the way to go. The most extreme case would be that these employees could be fired. One of the hard decisions that a CIO could make is to possibly include a corporate kill-switch on the employee’s mobile device. According to AdaptiveMobile, more than 60 percent of the surveyed companies already have a kill-switch function and lock device capabilities. The thing is that this is something that the employees are not aware of. Gareth Maclachlan, chief commercial officer and co-founder at AdaptiveMobile, said "Companies already have more control and visibility than people realize as shown in our research, from monitoring apps installed through to potentially locking or resetting a device." This, of course, brings up another interesting point which is, does a company have the right to do that? If you were to give them permission, then the answer would have to be yes. The way that most corporations are getting away with getting this permission is with a consent form. Your company sends you a long (in very small print) BYOD policy request that you need to confirm. Like most people, you scroll down to the bottom and click on “Agree.” Somewhere in that lengthy document you gave the CIO permission to lock or kill your smartphone. This is a method of trying to get your employees to abide by corporate policy that not everyone is in agreement with. Jeff Rubin, who is vice president at Beachhead Solutions, feels that "If company policy, agreed to in writing by the user, allows for the corporate administrator to kill the device when compromise is feared, then the company will own the kill switch. But obviously this is exactly the type of Big Brother action that inhibits the expansion and use of BYOD, because users may rightly feel that only they should control the fate of their devices." If you think about it, doesn’t this actually defeat the purpose of BYOD? The acronym stands for bring your own device; if the company controls it, doesn’t it make it a company device? If the company does have a kill switch, or can wipe out the device’s data, what data will be erased? Will they have the right to delete emails, texts and contact lists in addition to company data? You can see the number of questions that something like this raises. If we jump to the other side of the spectrum, we have the concept of rather than penalizing you for not following the rules, rewarding you for following them. Does money really talk? One company that believes it not only talks, but it actually shouts is Cass. Josh Bouk, who is vice president of sales and marketing at Cass's expense management division, believes that money has a lot to say. Cass helps its employees and encourages the use of BYOD, so much so that they have created a portal for employees to enroll and accept a company's policies, go through an eligibility process and receive an appropriate stipend. To make it even more appealing, Cass’ carrot bypasses expense reports by making the stipend show up on the employee’s phone bill. This means that all the employee has to do is comply with company BYOD policy to reap the rewards. Of course, if there is no compliance, then there is also no stipend. This is an issue that has enterprise Mobile Device Management products from companies like MobileIron and Fiberlink, which was acquired by IBM early this year, making a huge impact. The thing is that thanks to the proliferation of BYOD, this always-connected, everywhere collective now spans the generations. By that I mean that as a workforce, at one time, we only had to be concerned with being connected while in the office. Once you left the office, you left your connection behind and in most cases, your work. It actually benefits a company to have their employees always connected and BYOD has certainly accomplished that. Trying to find the method of having the employees adhere to the policies in order to ensure that the company is secure and another $80,000 mishap does not reoccur is something that can go either way. Which would you prefer, the stick or the carrot?

Hey everyone! Can you believe there is only 7 more days till Christmas?! I hope everyone is almost done shopping. I still have a few more things I have to pick up. Anyways, I wanted to share this really nice coat I got as an early Christmas gift! It’s seriously the nicest coat I’ve owned. Coat: J Crew / Shoes: DSW (similar) / Sweater: Madewell (similar) If you are in the market for a really nice quality coat, look no further! Although this one from J Crew is on the pricier side, its definitely worth the spurge. It’s warm, comes in a few different colors and a timeless style. I got mine during Black Friday so I got a really good deal but J Crew is currently having 40% off if you use the code “time2share”!! I originally got this coat in a 0 petite but the arms were too short on me so I exchanged it for a regular 0 (for size reference, I am 5’3). *Pictures taken by Jen. Please be sure to follow her on Instagram @thegirlincolor

Kennedy churns cheese into success By Craig Lamb Photo by Garrick Dixon Jimmy Kennedy has grown fondly accustomed to the atypical questions asked by his peers at the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Opens. “I get asked more about recipes and cooking than I do about what baits I’m using to catch my fish,” mused the Vermont pro. Kennedy is happy to oblige with the answers and that pleases his employer. Kennedy is executive chef and spokesperson for Cabot Creamery, a 1,200-farm family dairy cooperative with members spread across New England and New York. Premium butter, cottage cheese, Greek-style Yogurt and sour cream are among the Cabot products. So are the brand’s well-known cheeses, bearing names like Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese. What does cheese, cooking and bass fishing have in common? The answers are how Kennedy found ways combine all three into a tournament sponsorship. That in turn led to his full-time job. Kennedy was raised in Mississippi, where as a teenager he joined a club affiliated with the B.A.S.S. Nation while attending the University of Mississippi. Kennedy eventually settled in Vermont, where he opened the River Run restaurant in the village of Plainfield. The town’s original post office made the perfect setting for a quaint eatery with mismatched tables, chairs and chalkboard menu. He introduced southern comfort food to New England, long before it became chic mainstream elsewhere. River Run earned high acclaim among restaurant critics from Boston to New York. A national best-selling cookbook, distinguished culinary awards, appearances on Food Network and other career successes never distracted Kennedy from his affinity for competitive bass fishing. Eventually, the restaurant and bass fishing became engaged in a career tug of war. After 19 years Kennedy sold the restaurant and then came the next turn in this not so cheesy story. Kennedy pitched a tournament sponsorship to Cabot. It was a tough sell for a Vermont-based food brand with a strong female demographic. Kennedy would be pitchman for an obscure customer distant far outside the brand’s identity and marketing comfort zone. “I sold them on the idea of broadening their marketing presence in the outdoors, with me as the guy who could make cooking fun, more like a family outdoor activity.” Cabot approved the sponsorship based on his reputation as successful restaurateur and talented chef. Kennedy’s culinary credentials landed him the deal. Now it was time to deliver on the outdoor end of the deal. “They recognized the niche opportunity to market the brand and products to an untapped market,” he explained. “It was a risk but fundamentally the outdoors and cooking always have gone together.” Wrapping his Skeeter Boat and Toyota Tundra were part of the package. So were cooking demos at supermarkets, festivals and VIP events near tournaments. Kennedy shared samples of cheese among peers. He was encouraged to be creative with his recipes. Meat. Barbecue grill. Charcoal. How does cheese fit into this male trifecta of cooking? “I got creative and thought like a man who likes to cook, since after all, that was our target market,” explained Kennedy. “I thought out of the box and came up with easy, unique recipes.” Cabot Cheddar S’mores is an example of those recipes. Hundreds of thousands of the campfire treats have been served at outdoor festivals and elsewhere. Originating from the Cabot test kitchen are many other outdoor-inspired recipes. All have the same goal in mind. That is pinning the Cabot brand name on men that like to cook. Kennedy eventually delivered on his pitch. Cabot also recognized his engaging TV personality, stage presence and recipe creativity. He was offered the full-time job as a result. Kennedy’s role with Cabot continues to expand. Appearances on behalf of the brand happen in unlikely places. Recently he cooked at the World Trade Center for an event hosted by Bon Appetite magazine. Prior to the Eastern Open he served Cabot inspired dishes at a corporate VIP party hosted by Publix, the supermarket chain headquartered in Lakeland, Fla. Coincidentally, nearby is the Kissimmee Chain where Kennedy is competing in the Open. Cooking demos or promotional appearances in other Eastern Opens markets are proposed. That is all part of the overall plan to continue building the marketing momentum. Much of gauging marketing success comes from two channels. Those are financial success and intangible consumer brand awareness. Kennedy sees the latter at every tournament among his peers. Likewise, Cabot sees the value in a previously untapped market where cheese, bass fishing and outdoor cooking all go together.

As we continue on our "staging" journey I begin to welcome strange men into my house. The other day it was "painters". Very nice Hispanic gentlemen. They were going to be outside all day so I would remain comfortably in my house. I opened the blinds and curtains of my upstairs master bedroom to let the sunshine in as I do every morning. I locked to bedroom door to avoid any traumatic encounters with my kids and jumped in the shower. Ahhh. Every time I shower I think I should do this more often. I toweled off and walked into my master bedroom wearing nothing but what God gave me. And right outside my bedroom window was Mr. Painter Man. I squealed (maybe added a swear word or two) and ran into my closet. Holy Crap, I just flashed the poor guy. I don't think he saw me and was praying for a benefit of the solar shades that the manufacturer never intended. I got dressed and very casually walked to the window and closed the blinds and curtains. I texted my husband to tell him about the peep show. And my sweet husband, who is forever defending my honor, texted this back: "Make sure he subtracts that value from the total bill." Or, as I pointed out, they could end up charging us hazard pay.

Almost there. Still have to do the touchy part of applying clear tile tape to the face, Carefully lift it off, turn it over, Carefully peal off the sticky paper it is on, then Very Carefully apply it to the round substrate that will be prepped with cement thinset. It's a one shot deal from the time tile tape is applied to the face to the actual finishing. This technique is called the Double Reverse application method in mosaics and can be very touchy. I am both nervous and excited - I love challenging techniques. I chose this method after reading about it in Sonia King's Mosaic Techniques and Traditions and Sandra & Carl Bryant of Showcase Mosaics use this method exclusively for all their public art installations. Their work is beautiful. They also work in stained glass mosaics and after reading a forum on their technique I decided to use it for this project because of the extreme complexity of design and shading. It sure would be nice to have them here for tips - but here I go!(the black piece of glass by the ear is for lettering, not part of the design)

On May 17th, The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, PA, celebrated its’ 20th-Anniversary with a festive gala. The evening was a success, and some of Andy’s old friends, colleagues and confidants were in attendance. Approximately 650 guests came to celebrate the jet-setting themed party, which was chosen to symbolically represent the approximate 12 million people that have seen Warhol’s work. The Museum continued the celebration by hosting an open Community Day event the following day, starting at 12am, and lasting until 5pm. Activities included arts and crafts making, and an interview with Bob Colacello, former Interview Magazine edition. When it first opened its’ doors in 1994, The Andy Warhol Museum drew in 14,000 visitors in just 12 hours. Today it has seen over 1.56 million visitors, including Michelle Obama. His works continue to hold their value and significance well into the 21st-century. Additionally, during the gala the Museum announced plans to open up a 2nd location on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in 2017. It plans to show about 10% of its’ collection in the new location. It will be interesting to watch how these plans develop over the next few years.

(CNN) -- From derelict car factory to thriving cultural hub: That's the trajectory a tiny island on the River Seine in Paris is set to be transformed into a haven for contemporary art. Positioned in a part of the Seine on outskirts of West Paris, the Ile Seguin was home to a Renault car factory for almost 60 years. Now, close to 20 years after the site was abandoned, French Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel has revealed the latest designs for the island, which is hoped will become a new center for contemporary culture. Nouvel has worked closely with landscape gardener Michel Desvigne and lighting designer Yann Kersale on the designs, which include a plethora of venues and facilities, including music halls, studios, galleries and exhibitions spaces. A grand indoor garden, enclosed by glass, has also been designed by Desvigne, with plans for the space to become a hub of media and entertainment companies. Work is set to start in 2012, for which the costs have not currently been disclosed, and it is hoped the cultural center will open in 2017.

Unfortunately, as Mike and I were preparing for CJ and Amber to arrive, there was a small accident. Mike opened the window in our guest bedroom that morning to let in some cool air. We were sitting in the living room a little while later when we heard something come crashing down. We ran to see, finding that the bottom portion of the window had somehow fallen right out of the wall! (It was one of those that opens and then can be leaned toward the inside for cleaning.) So we had a gaping hole in our house for the entire time our guests were here - in the guests' room. CJ was so nice to help Mike take the rest of the window out in order to replace it. They worked for three hours scraping out glass, aluminum and mortar. Thanks to them for being patient and helping us with our home repair while on their vacation. Other than the window fiasco, we had a wonderful time catching up with CJ and Amber. Thanks for coming to visit guys!!!

SEOUL, South Korea – An American Christian missionary slipped into isolated North Korea on Christmas Day, shouting that he brought God’s love and carrying a letter urging leader Kim Jong Il to step down and free all political prisoners, an activist said. Robert Park, 28, crossed a poorly guarded stretch of the frozen Tumen River that separates North Korea from China, according to a member of the Seoul-based group Pax Koreana, which promotes human rights in the North. The group plans to release footage of the crossing today, he said. “I am an American citizen. I brought God’s love. God loves you and God bless you,” Park reportedly said in fluent Korean as he crossed over Friday near the northeastern city of Hoeryong, according to the activist. No information has emerged about what happened next to Park, who is of Korean descent. The communist country’s state-run media was silent. The State Department and the U.S. Embassy in Beijing said they were aware of the incident but had no details. Park, from Tucson, Ariz., carried a letter to North Korean leader Kim calling for major changes to his totalitarian regime, according to the activist from Pax Koreana. “Please open your borders so that we may bring food, provisions, medicine, necessities, and assistance to those who are struggling to survive,” said the letter, according to a copy posted on the conservative group’s Web site.

Crewe Alexandra boss Steve Davis insists his side must start much better against Walsall this weekend. |“You cannot afford to concede two early goals away from home and expect to get much from the games” – Steve Davis| It follows the Alex finding themselves two goals behind inside twenty minutes of their last game against Portsmouth at Fratton Park. That also proved to be the final scoreline despite the visitors improving after the break. However, Davis naturally wants no repeat this time around. “It is important to see what the reasons were for us not starting well enough at Portsmouth,” Davis told Crewe’s official website. “We have done that a couple of times this season, away at Brentford and at home to Oldham where the players were caught out by the tempo a bit. “We have to be in a better frame of mind to handle that and that is something we have spoken about because you cannot afford to concede two early goals away from home and expect to get much from the games,” he warned. |LATEST ON THE VITAL CREWE FORUMS …|

The vibrant Night Market sets up every afternoon around 5pm and operates until 10pm or sometimes later. The stalls offer all manners of household goods, footwear, fashion items, and all varieties of food. It is not a big market but worth for a visit. It is also a good place to grab your dinner, snacks & bites here. Here are something to share from the night market. The roasted area with all the roasted pork and duck. I never try before but you will see at least one stall selling all this food.

Benefits of Eating Raw Eating raw has become a movement of late that has rapidly gained popularity across the globe. Surprisingly, raw food is much more tastier than it sounds. To some, the idea of eating raw sounds as delectable as digesting blades of grass from your front yard. However, understanding the role raw food plays in the body can quickly alter perception of this foodie phenomenon. Below, see how eating raw can benefit your health. Raw foods are believed to deliver higher levels of nutrients to our body than cooked food. Nutritionist, Jane Griffin, reports that raw food contains a third more vitamins and minerals than cooked food. Boiling water absorbs vitamins B and C during cooking. Griffin also reports that fiber is broken down with heat and is another lost nutrient. Eating raw can help you shed pounds faster than eating cooked veggies. Raw fruit and vegetables tend to have a higher water content than cooked food. Cooked food loses much of it’s moisture once cooked. The extra water bulk helps fill you up faster. When certain vegetables, such as carrots and tomatoes are eaten raw, the skin is greatly enhanced. These vegetables contain betacarotene which is converted to vitamin A. This stimulates skin cell growth and builds collagen which is essential for skin elasticity. The Journal of Nutrition stated that increased use of raw foods in our diet lowers cholesterol and troglyceride levels in the body. This lowers chances of heart disease, obesity and high blood pressure. Because raw foods are high in nutrients such as potassium, magnesium, fiber and plant phytochemical, it becomes a natural way for your body to fight disease organically. Come Try A Smoothie at Franklin Athletic Club To Begin Your Raw Food Journey! Get hold of a better life with a healthy community around you.

March 28th, 2010 21:02 EST Military Looks the Other Way When it Comes to Rape The Lucky Ones, a 2008 film about three Iraq War veterans who return to an America that doesn`t seem to have room for them, raises some of the questions societies almost never raise when they send their children to war. A middle-aged sergeant played by Tim Robbins returns to a wife who has outgrown him and wants a divorce. A young soldier played by Rachel McAdams wants to return her slain boyfriend`s guitar to his parents, but she finds the stories he told her were lies. A young sergeant played by Michael Pena faces a fourth tour in Iraq and thinks his luck has run out. Here is the heartbreak society doesn`t want to think about. The flag-waving, the speeches, the lies, the patriotism on steroids are all in the past, and now these three heroes have to heal their wounded lives and find their places in a society more interested in sending them to a new post than in welcoming them home. The Gunfighter, a 1969 book by Joseph G. Rosa, described how many veterans of the American Civil War turned to crime and gunslinging because they had become so intimate with death that it no longer held for them the terrors it holds for most of us. This intimacy with horror gave them an advantage over others. It made them dangerous. (I haven`t read this book, but delanceyplace.com recently described it.) It inevitably raises the question of how many of our veterans will turn to crime. We already know many of them have become mercenaries and that our army can no longer meet all its obligations without contractors, a development that signaled the fall of Rome. The aftermath of war is one of those things societies don`t talk about. It`s always imperative to go to war, but it`s never imperative to plan for its inevitable desolation. That`s usually because the people who say it`s imperative to make war aren`t the ones who have to fight it and suffer its consequences. They`re usually the ones who plan to make huge profits from war. War not only kills those who fight in it, it also slowly kills those who return, and often their families and loved ones with them. They come home with blank eyes and disheartened souls. Often their emotional wounds are even greater than their physical wounds. Often they can`t find their ways back into the societies they left. They don`t want to. They`ve seen too much, they know too much. True, some of them spend the rest of their lives drinking in Legion halls and telling stories, but they`re the visible ones. The invisible ones turn to crime, become alcoholics, deteriorate in hospitals and often end up on the street or in Potter`s Fields. That`s one dark and shunned side of war, but there are others. One of the most eerie concerns sexuality. What does war do to our women in the military and the women whose countries become battlegrounds? How many are raped or coerced, forced into prostitution, abused, left homeless, broken, mentally ill? Who is talking about about war`s effect on Iraqi women as much as about its politics or money or oil? And yet women are half the human equation. And it`s not just the civilian women, but also the military women who are abused, harassed or raped by their comrades and supervisors. A 2003 Defense Department report says that of a national sample of female veterans asking the Veteran`s Administration for health care, almost a third said they experienced rape or attempted rape during their service. Of that group, 37 percent said they were raped multiple times, and 14 percent reported they were gang-raped " ( The Women`s War, " by Sara Corbett, New York Times Magazine, Mar. 18, 2007). Why isn`t there more press coverage of this issue? Where has it ever been, in any war? There have always been matters one does not talk about. (I use one " to imbue the discussion with a little toniness.) And in this age of exhibitionism I`m all for a bit of Victorianism. But there may be some things we had better talk about so that the human race doesn`t get stuck in the cement of hypocrisy, And one of these, I believe, may be the sexuality of our defenders. I received a book, La Tolerance, in the mail the other day from a friend in France who has been researching policies towards prostitution in French colonial Algeria. The author of this important work, Barkahoum Ferhati, comes from Bou Saada, a city legendary for its Ouled Nail dancers and also its colonial prostitution. I can`t speak authoritatively about La Tolerance because it`s in French and my knowledge of that language is inadequate, although I do read French poetry. But I can see that Mlle. Ferhati`s book raises daunting questions about what armies of occupation do about their sexual lives. Is this too delicate a subject to discuss? Would we rather blather on about gays in uniform and let this much larger issue languish? Of course we would. It`s a tradition "one we ought to abandon in order to become civilized. Why? Because it`s uncivilized to blather on about rape in Darfur and Central Africa while ignoring the fact that our soldiers, men and women, are sexual beings who are encountering other sexual beings in time of war and creating consequences that are undoubtedly being swept under the carpet. What about prostitution in Iraq and Afghanistan? Are these antiseptic wars in which there are no prostitutes, no rapes, no sexual predations? Or is there a consensual silence about it? And if there have been rapes, there have been casualties. All victims of rape are permanently maimed. They never recover, just as soldiers suffering post-traumatic stress do not recover. Some learn to cope and some don`t. So how to account for this silence, this complicity on the part of everyone concerned? Not only are we silent, but also our allies, the Iraqis, and our enemies, too. This is a human disgrace, and it does not wear just one uniform. How do we accommodate the sexuality of our soldiers? Mlle. Ferhati says the French dealt with the issue by countenancing prostitution on a grand scale, by winking at its cultural and moral consequences, and by indulging a mammoth hypocrisy. Is this our policy in Iraq and Afghanistan? And if so, can we really expect to win the hearts and minds of a people whose women we have desecrated? We know the French did not win Algerians` hearts and minds, and they had more than a century to do it. How can our press tell us they have covered these wars when we have heard so little about sexuality, rape, molestation? Would the press have us believe there has been none of it? Would the press have us believe that our soldiers simply left their sexuality at home and will resume it when they return? That is certainly not the message of The Lucky Ones. Does the press acre? Is its sanitized version of an Iraq war without brothels, without prostitution, without rape or sexual abuse the fantasy we really want to wrap around our necks, or are we grown up enough to ask what is really going on? Do we care as a society? These are some of the issues Mlle. Ferhati raises in La Tolerance. Another book, about Japan`s comfort women " in World War II, is War`s Dirty Secret: Rape, Prostitution, and Other Crimes Against Women, Anne Llewellyn Barstow, Ed., Pilgrim, 257 pp, 2001, review in Christian Century, Oct. 17, 2001. We should be raising these issues, too. Pretense is always more comfortable, conforming as it does to our fantasies about ourselves. But in this instance it constitutes an erasure of half of humanity. Djelloul (jeh-lool) Marbrook was born in 1934 in Algiers to a Bedouin father and an American painter.
