Do you drink coffee in the morning too and wondered if there is something else we can do with those coffee grounds? I did some research on helpful ways we can use coffee grounds around our house and wanted to share them with you.
Coffee is a great odor eater. Place some beans and a fake tealight in a candle holder and use it to deodorize places like bathrooms, family rooms, offices, etc.
Mix 1 Tablespoon Dawn with your coffee grounds. Use it to scrub up cook tops, dried food on counters, and more. Be careful if you have a porous surface counter as coffee can stain.
Use the multipurpose cleaner to get baked on food off of pots, pans, and dishes.
Start by soaking the pot with a 1 Tablespoon of the mixture and enough water to cover the bottom. Let that soak for 30 minutes (or more for really tough baked on food). Use a scrub brush to lightly scrub, dump out and rinse.
You might find a little extra still in the pan. So scoop 1 Tablespoon of the mixture into the pot without adding water. Use a scrub brush and scrub up the remaining burnt on substance.
Rinse out and your pan will be clean.
Use the multipurpose cleaner and a scrub brush to clean your sink. Rinse and it'll sparkle.
Pour your coffee grounds into your garbage disposal. Run the disposal and it will clean and deodorize it.
Mix 1/2 teaspoon olive oil (or oil of your choice) with coffee grounds.
Rub the mixture on your hands, then rinse off. The mixture will exfoliate and moisturize your hands.
To use the wood scratch dye… here is a before picture of the scratch.
Place the mixture on top of the scratch and let sit for a minimum of 10-15 minutes.
Wipe off and check it, if you like the results you can stop there. If not, you can repeat the process until you get the look you want.
Place coffee grounds in a container and put in your refrigerator and freezer to deodorize them.
Place some coffee grounds in a container and poke holes in the top. Many bugs and rodents don't like the smell of coffee.
You can use them as compost and put them in your garden later. They also repel the bugs, slugs, and more in your garden. You can use it in your indoor and outdoor plants as a fertilizer.
*Coffee is acidic so be sure the plant you put the compost around likes acidity. If you are using it as a bug barrier – you can make a wide circle around plants that like less acidity to keep it away from the roots but keep the bugs away.

Love these ideas, but are these used coffee grounds or fresh?
Thank you and great question Lorraine. So the coffee beans are fresh, but most of the coffee grounds used for cleaning are left over from our morning coffee 🙂 You could use fresh ones from Dollar Tree if you are not a coffee drinker.
Thank you Chas. Hope you are feeling better. I can relate to headaches, get them everyday!!!
Love the use of coffee ideas, especially the one for cleaning to stove top. How are you feeling this week and are you out of the hospital. Maybe you have started therapy.
So great to have ideas for putting all those coffee grounds to work in our homes!
Thank you so much Michele – I love finding ways to reuse things and cleaning with them is always a bonus.
Thank you so much Margy for sharing that. I had learned they are good for the garden when I was working on this post so I'm excited to try it this spring.
Lots of useful ideas for using up coffee grounds. I'm going to try the composting idea for my roses after drying them so that the snails and slugs don't eat any more of my roses!
Thank you so much Priya, and I'm thrilled you want to give it a try in your garden too. I am so ready for spring to come and get into the yard.
I knew about the room freshener Chas but had no idea about the other uses. Pinning for future use.
Thank you so much Mary for the Pin. I was so thrilled to research all of these options and not use them.
So many great ideas here!
Well those are all wonderful ideas and I learned of a few new ideas to use those coffee grounds. Thanks so much. I am definitely a fan of coffee and now to have a few practical uses for them is even better. Thanks! Coming over from Senior Salon.
Thank you so much Beth and I'm thrilled there are a few ideas here you might want to give a try. Coffee is delicious isn't it? Thanks for stopping by.
Great post, Chas, once again. When I lived in Kazakhstan, I went to the local banya (public baths) with my teacher colleagues. The first time, I brought with me some ultra swanky exfoliant I'd brought from home (USA). My colleagues used coffee grounds (fresh, dry). We exchanged. I've never gone back to buying exfoliant; the coffee grounds worked so much better. AND I didn't mix them with olive oil. Just the water from the showers. I also put used coffee grounds on my blueberry bushes (they love acid). Be careful which plants you use them on; they must be acid loving plants. I'm saving all our grounds in a 5-gallon jug in my mud room until spring. Now I know why I don't see any mice out there. Thanks for that one. AND for all the other great ideas. Do warn your readers though about that acid soil/compost issue.
Thank you so much Janet, and I so very much appreciate you sharing your story. Love that you have been using coffee as an exfoliate and love learning how you came to learn about it too. What an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing the tips about the acidity in the soil, that is a very good point.
Oh my gosh, these are brilliant! We are big coffee drinkers, and so there are always coffee grounds at my house in the morning. I love the ideas for cleaning the garbage disposal, the garden compost, and the bug repellent. Thanks so much for sharing at Sweet Inspiration!
Thank you so much Amy. Coffee is great isn't it? 🙂 I'm excited you want to give a few of these a try and thanks for stopping by.
Thanks so much for the tips. I use coffee grinds in my garden, but never for cleaning. I love the idea of using them in my garbage disposal too. Thanks for sharing on Sunday's Best.
Thank you so much Rhonda, and I love that you are using them in your garden too. I am excited there are a couple new ideas you're interested in, thanks for stopping by.
Thank you Carol and thanks so much for sharing that tip about tea leaves being good for fertilizer. I will start saving those as well.
These are some interesting ideas for reusing coffee grounds. I usually use mine either in the garden or as a body scrub. Thanks for linking up with us at #OMHGWW!
Thank you so much Alice and I'm thrilled to learn you are using some of these too. Such a great way to reuse items before letting them go. Thanks for stopping by.

On New Year's Day 1978 I boarded a plane at Birmingham International Airport for the first flight of my life. I was wearing a beaten up suede jacket, first generation Converse All Stars, Levis and a white t-shirt. I had £40 in my wallet and not much in my bag. I was a spikey haired, post punk 20 year old art student going to live in Japan for a year.
I had been offered a job in a little design agency in Osaka between my 2nd and 3rd years of a design degree at St Martins. I was stepping into the unknown. I was to stay with the family of my employer for a month, after which an apartment would be found for me for the remainder of the year. After a month, Takeshi, Hiroko, his wife, Timomi, his 9 year old daughter and Takeshi's grandparents asked me to meet them for what I thought was goodbye. In fact, what they wanted to do was ask me if I would consider staying with the family for the whole year.
I experienced the beauty, culture, architecture, design and food of Japan with eyes wide open, but most incredibly I was able to do this whilst being treated like a son by a Japanese family who had been complete strangers. That was a year that changed my life.
Over the years, bringing up my own family, I've told lots of stories about my time in Japan. Last November I was 60 years old. I decided the only way to celebrate was to take my family for a month to experience some of the things that I had loved in a place where I had been loved and looked after.
Thank you to Takeshi, Hiroko, Timomi and grandparents Fukuda.

Lew's News: Russell Howard comes on my radio show.
Photo: Russell Howard after his appearance on Nunhead American Radio at Resonance FM studios with Anna Crockatt, Leanne Bower, Richard Guard (in the back ), Lewis Schaffer and Lisa Moyle.
Russell Howard, him-off-the-telly, came on my radio show last Monday and it sent me into a depression spiral that I am having trouble leaving. Okay, I was depressed before he came on the show. The happier I am the more I see misery coming. At least with misery one can hope for good times.
I asked Russell how he wants his dead body treated after his death, of course. You won't hear him being asked stuff like that anywhere else. Also on with Major Alan Norton of the Nunhead Salvation Army. Listen here on MixCloud.
It was an honour for him to visit us and lovely to spend some time with him. He is as nice in person as he is on the telly, and way more subversive than one would think. Our best show, ever.
I am at the Leicester Square Theatre, today, Sunday at 6pm – Lewis Schaffer, International Man of Misery. I have been called the best comic and the worst comic. You will laugh, one way or the other.
My camera didn't record The Relatives's song this week – sorry – a mess up – but there are many other incredible songs on my YouTube Channel. These include "Lewis Schaffer Blues" (2 mins long). Go to the Lewis Schaffer YouTube Channel. Click.
If you haven't "signed" the petition you will have hurt my feelings. The Save Southwark Woods campaign has been asked to present to the full Southwark Council meeting on July 8th. We are trying save woods in Nunhead and East Dulwich. Please read and sign the petition to Save Southwark Woods. And go to @southwarkwoods on twitter and to the website.
You will need to buy a ticket to see me in Edinburgh this year. Only £5 and £3 for losers (the old and broke – basically me.). Lewis Schaffer is Free until Famous, £5. Click the link.
I just got back from Wells Next The Sea in Norforlk. What a lovely town and lovely people. I'm now into 45 date touror more venues. Go to my webpage and count them. My next shows are May 8th in Redditch and May 9th in Cirencester. I am funny. You will laugh.
Last week I told you a famous person was coming on the radio and he did. This week we have Stuart Goldsmith, the comic, and someone else. Go to Nunhead American Radio page.
This British election is like Christmas: It is very big and important but I'm not allowed participate in it.
Even if I could vote (and I can't vote even though I have lived here for 15 years. Americans aren't allowed to vote. Nigerian are. Sri Lankan are. Belizeans are. Americans aren't because of the bitter divorce.) so if I could vote, I still probably wouldn't.
I voted only twice in my life. Once for leftwinger and once for a rightwinger. That was before I realized that I would be filled with regret not matter what I did so I decided to let others do the voting.
Also, as a comic (if I can call myself that), I feel duty bound to you, my audience, to hate everyone. That said, the Labour council of Southwark has acted so abysmally over the Southwark Woods that I am on the verge of voice an opinion.
SPECIAL OFFER: Use the code "American14" when buying tickets and get two tickets for the price of one. Or pay full price and help me buy a new white shirt.


On January 22, the UCF Faculty Union, United Faculty of Florida, and the Board of Trustees reached a settlement of a 2% raise for all faculty. This is fantastic news!
UCF SLAP supported the UCF Faculty Union's campaign to secure a raise for the bargaining unit of "more than 1%." In coordination with the United Faculty of Florida, SLAP worked to activate alumni supporters, attended the November impasse hearing, circulated a petition, helped promote tweeting #MoreThan1 during football games, and reached out to students to support faculty efforts.

Customers turn out for reopening of Cripple Creek casinos; Black Hawk, Central City ready to welcome back public
Casino-goers will see changes, including no table games and fewer open slot machines.
Crews were busy spraying antimicrobial protection and disinfectant throughout the Monarch Casino and employees were posting signs with a list of COVID-19 symptoms and social-distancing requirements before opening the doors three months after shutting them to the public.
About 250 employees of the Black Hawk casino went through updated training and were tested for the coronavirus to be ready when the doors open at 8 a.m. Wednesday. All the staff was COVID-19 free, a spokeswoman said.
Now it's a matter of seeing how comfortable folks are to spend time with strangers after weeks of being urged to stay at home and keep their distance from others to curb the spread of the illness that has sickened and killed people around the world.
"Through the 12-week closure we've had the opportunity to talk to some of our best guests on a number of occasions. They all tell us they're very excited to come up and see us again," said Erica Ferris, Monarch's marketing director.
The casino has taken steps to offer customers an "incredibly clean and safe place," Ferris said. "When people are ready, we're ready for them."
Several people were ready to venture into Cripple Creek casinos, which opened Monday. All the casinos, including in Central City, had to get exemptions from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to reopen. They must follow certain guidelines and restrictions.
"We had in excess of a thousand people the first five hours we were open," Matt Andrighetti, general manager of Wildwood Casino in Cripple Creek, said Monday.
Wildwood monitored the number of customers to make sure there weren't too many at one time, Andrighetti said. The exemptions from state coronavirus-related restrictions require that casinos limit occupancy to 50% of the capacity allowed by the fire code, or 175 people in a confined, indoor space, whichever is lower.
Wildwood has different sections where people can be.
"We let in a couple hundred people to start. We wanted to make sure the staff was equipped," Andrighetti said. "We didn't have many people waiting in line too long."
Monarch has three floors and a dining area.
"So at the end of the day, the most people we'll end up having in the building at any one time is about 600, spread over a very wide area," Ferris said.
Monarch will use a color code on its website, Facebook and Instagram accounts to let the public know how busy the casino is. The code will go from green for low occupancy from yellow to orange to red, which means it's busy.
Things will look a little different to regular casino-goers. Gamblers won't be shoulder to shoulder at the slot machines. At Monarch, every other machine will be turned off so players can keep their distance. Wildwood has removed every other chair and could include plexiglass dividers.
Table games are off-limits for now. The state health department said it will reconsider the decision in about three weeks.
The casinos are going big on cleanliness, both Ferris and Andrighetti said. The slot machines at Wildwood have lights that players can activate when they're ready to leave so employees know the machine needs to be cleaned. Cleaning crews will make routine rounds.
And everyone entering will have their temperatures checked, will be asked whether they have any coronavirus-associated symptoms and will need to wear a face mask. Wildwood will strongly encourage customers to wear masks inside. It will be a requirement in Gilpin County casinos.
The Ameristar Casino in Black Hawk said on its website that it will have floor decals and signs to enforce social distancing and will provide stations with sanitizer throughout the building. Buffets, a favorite of casino-goers, are off the dining tale for now. Monarch will use the space for a traditional sit-down dining area.
When table games are allowed, Monarch will bring back more of its team, Ferris said. The casino is in the process of hiring more people because new restaurants and a portion of a new hotel will open soon, she said.
However, Ameristar is laying off 117 employees. The company said in a letter last week to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment that the layoffs are the result of the closures due to COVID-19 in the states where it operates, new restrictive conditions "and the negative impact this would have on business volumes."
Ameristar didn't respond to a request for comment on its preparations for reopening.

Jake Gyllenhaal's 10 Best Movies
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of David Fincher's acclaimed mystery Zodiac, we decided to look back at the best-reviewed work of its star.
by Jeff Giles and Ryan Fujitani | February 28, 2017 | Comments
In 2007, director David Fincher teamed up with Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, and Jake Gyllenhaal on Zodiac, a potent murder mystery about the manhunt for the real life serial killer who terrorized northern California during the 1960s and 1970s. Gyllenhaal earned well-deserved praise for his portrayal of Robert Graysmith, the San Francisco Chronicle political cartoonist who helped decipher the Zodiac's cryptic letters, but despite the film's overwhelmingly positive critical reception, it was completely overlooked by the Academy Awards. Now that the film is officially 10 years old to the day, we thought it was the perfect time to look back at star Gyllenhaal's best-reviewed films… including Zodiac.
10. The Good Girl (2002) 82%
Gyllenhaal ventured into romance — of a sort — with 2002's The Good Girl, a small-town drama from Chuck & Buck screenwriter Mike White that starred Jennifer Aniston as a morose department store clerk struggling to choose between her unsatisfying marriage and her affair with the unstable, Catcher in the Rye-obsessed co-worker played by Gyllenhaal. Infidelity, dead-end jobs, and small towns are nothing new for the movies — indie films in particular — but however familiar its premise, The Good Girl earned praise from critics thanks to the finely wrought honesty of White's script and strong performances from Aniston, Gyllenhaal, and their supporting cast (including John C. Reilly, Tim Blake Nelson, and Zooey Deschanel). Taking the cliche of a frustrated young man buried in Holden Caulfield and imbuing it with genuine depth, Gyllenhaal was a major part of why the Hollywood Reporter's Duane Byrge called it "An absorbing, slice-of-depression life that touches nerves and rings true."
9. Prisoners (2013) 81%
After his 2011 film Incendies earned a heap of acclaim — including a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar nod — French Canadian director Denis Villeneuve made his Hollywood debut with a gripping psychological thriller about a desperate man (Hugh Jackman) driven to extreme measures when his young daughter is abducted with her best friend. While much of the film rested on Jackman's shoulders, he was supported by a stellar cast that included Viola Davis, Paul Dano, Melissa Leo, and Jake Gyllenhaal as the skeptical detective whose investigation into the disappearance is beset by false leads and a father obsessed with vigilante justice. The end result was a twisty, twisted mystery that impressed more than a few critics, like USA Today's Claudia Puig, who noted that "the plot raises complicated moral questions about how far an anguished person will go for the love of a child. At the same time, it sets up an intricate, horrifying mystery with breathtaking skill."
8. End of Watch (2012) 85%
Most critics — and more than a few filmgoers — would agree that the found-footage gimmick has been more than played out since rising to prominence with The Blair Witch Project in the late 1990s. Still, it's a powerful tool when used in the right way, as demonstrated by writer/director David Ayer's End of Watch, which follows a cop/film student (Gyllenhaal) and his partner (Michael Pena) on patrol in the mean streets of South Central Los Angeles. While Ayer's use of the found footage technique certainly proved divisive among critics, End of Watch earned a healthy $51 million at the box office, picked up a pair of Independent Spirit Award nominations, and enjoyed the respect of scribes such as Amy Biancolli of the San Francisco Chronicle, who wrote, "The best scenes are filmed inside the cruiser, dashboard shots that face inward instead of out, catching Gyllenhaal and Peña in moments so playful and true they make all other buddy cops look bogus by comparison."
7. Donnie Darko (2001) 87%
Time travel, a falling jet engine, and a dude in a bunny suit: From these disparate ingredients, writer-director Richard Kelly wove the tale of Donnie Darko, a suburban teenager (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) charged with repairing a rift in the fabric of our dimension. Or something. To call Darko "open to interpretation" would be understating the case a bit — it's been alternately confounding and delighting audiences since it was released in 2001 — but its dense, ambiguous plot found stronger purchase with critics, who cared less about what it all meant than about simply having the chance to see an American movie that took some substantial risks. Though a few reviewers were confused and/or unimpressed (Staci Lynne Wilson of Fantastica Daily called it "derivative," and Joe Leydon dismissed it as "a discombobulating muddle" in his writeup for the San Francisco Examiner), overall critical opinion proved a harbinger of the cult status the film would eventually enjoy on the home video market; as Thomas Delapa wrote for the Boulder Weekly, "If the sum total of Donnie Darko is hard to figure, there's no questioning that its separate scenes add up to breathtaking filmmaking." Despite a paltry $4.1 million gross during its original limited run, Darko returned to theaters in 2004 with a director's cut — one whose 91 percent Tomatometer actually improved upon the original's.
6. Lovely & Amazing (2001) 86%
Years before he challenged taboos with Brokeback Mountain, Jake Gyllenhaal proved his versatility with script choices like the ones he made in 2001, which found him starring in Donnie Darko, Bubble Boy, and Nicole Holofcener's Lovely & Amazing. Though Bubble Boy saw the widest release of the three (and some of the harshest reviews of Gyllenhaal's career), Lovely & Amazing proved he could hold his own with a stellar cast that included Catherine Keener, Emily Mortimer, and Dermot Mulroney — and it proved that he was capable of rising to the challenge of a writer-director known for getting the best out of her actors. Here, Gyllenhaal stars as Jordan, a teenaged one-hour photo developer who earns the adulterous affection of his frustrated (and significantly older) co-worker, played by Catherine Keener. Holofcener's films are known for focusing on women — and rightly so — but smart dramas need smart performances, and with his empathetic supporting turn here, Gyllenhaal more than held his own. Though it wasn't a major commercial success, grossing only just over $4.2 million in limited release, Lovely & Amazing enjoyed a number of awards and nominations from critics' associations, as well as acclaim from scribes such as Terry Lawson of the Detroit Free Press, who wrote, "For all its dirty talk and up-frontness, this is a family film — it's about one family and the extended family of females. Any woman who sees it will recognize that, and any man who sees it will be better for it."
5. Brokeback Mountain (2005) 88%
Take a heart-wrenching short story by Annie Proulx, give it to award-winning director Ang Lee, and surround him with a rock-solid cast including Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams, Anne Hathaway, and — of course — Jake Gyllenhaal, and you've got Brokeback Mountain, one of the most talked-about (and award-winning) movies of 2005. Gyllenhaal and Ledger starred as Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar, a pair of Wyoming ranch hands whose tortured, almost completely unspoken affair has a profound impact on their lives — and the lives of their wives and children — over a period of several decades. Not your everyday Hollywood love story, to put it mildly — and to no one's surprise, Gyllenhaal and Ledger earned more attention for their characters' sexuality than for their performances in the roles, with a wide variety of pundits accusing the filmmakers of using Brokeback to further a political agenda; famously, one Utah theater owner canceled his engagement just hours before the first scheduled screening. Underneath all the hubbub, however, shone a beautifully acted love story with uncommon depth and intensity, and both Gyllenhaal and Ledger were richly rewarded for their work with an impressive number of awards and nominations, not to mention a $178 million worldwide gross and reams of critical praise from critics including Colin Covert of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, who wrote, "It has become shorthand to call Brokeback Mountain the 'gay cowboy movie,' but it is much more than that glib description implies. This is a human story, a haunting film in the tradition of the great Hollywood romantic melodramas."
4. Zodiac (2007) 90%
In the hands of an ordinary filmmaker, any attempt to tell the story of the Zodiac Killer might have been equal parts conjecture and garden-variety gore — after all, the serial murderer who terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area for years in the 1960s and 1970s, taunting the police with a series of cryptic letters, eventually disappeared, never to be identified. For director David Fincher, though, the truly interesting story didn't lie so much with the Zodiac as it did with the men and women who devoted themselves to apprehending him — particularly Robert Graysmith, the San Francisco Chronicle cartoonist who broke the Zodiac's code and eventually became an asset to the investigation. As the increasingly driven Graysmith, Gyllenhaal led the viewer on a darkening spiral of dead ends, wild goose chases, and grim obsession — and he anchored a showy cast that included Robert Downey, Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Chloe Sevigny, and Anthony Edwards. Unfortunately, the words "David Fincher" and "serial killer drama" sparked hopes that Fincher was returning to his Se7en roots, and the studio's marketing campaign did nothing to set filmgoers straight; ultimately, despite a strongly positive reaction from critics, Zodiac was a non-starter at the box office, and by the time awards season arrived, this March release was all but forgotten. It deserved better, according to writers like the Toronto Star's Geoff Pevere, who argued, "It makes you want to study it even more closely, in search of things you might have missed, trailing after leads that flash by in the relentless momentum of going nowhere fast. If you're not careful, it might make you obsessed."
3. October Sky (1999) 91%
It isn't often that NASA engineers get their own biopics — but then, most of them don't have life stories as inspiring as Homer Hickam, the West Virginia native whose Sputnik-fueled fascination with rockets turned him into a teen science fair sensation (and, more importantly, helped him avoid working in the local coalmine). Based on Hickam's autobiographical novel Rocket Boys, Joe Johnston's 1999 drama October Sky gave audiences a rare slice of critically acclaimed drama during the cold winter months — and it provided a breakout role for Gyllenhaal, whose biggest credits to that point came through parts in a pair of his father Stephen's movies and minor appearances in City Slickers and Josh and S.A.M. Though he was surrounded with talented co-stars, it fell to Gyllenhaal to carry the movie as the young Hickam and make audiences believe in not only his wide-eyed wonder at the stars, but his struggles with his distant, unsupportive father (played by Chris Cooper); his success was noted by critics such as Jeff Vice of the Deseret News, who correctly predicted that "Even if October Sky was a complete dud, the drama would still get points for being the movie that launched the career of a new star, Jake Gyllenhaal."
2. Source Code (2011) 92%
It's a common complaint that there isn't any room for original ideas in Hollywood anymore, but every so often, we're treated to a movie like Source Code that proves an exception to the rule. Helmed by Moon director Duncan Jones from a script by Ben Ripley, this twisty sci-fi thriller follows the adventures of a U.S. Army captain (Gyllenhaal) whose latest mission — to prevent a catastrophic bombing on board a moving train — masks a horrible personal tragedy that his support team is keeping from him. Bolstered by a strong support cast that included Vera Farmiga, Michelle Monaghan, and Jeffrey Wright, and topped off by a thought-provoking ending, Source Code earned the applause of critics like the New Yorker's David Denby, who wrote, "The movie is a formally disciplined piece of work, a triumph of movie syntax, made with a sense of rhythm and pace, and Gyllenhaal, who is always good at conveying anxiety, gives [his] desperation a comic edge."
1. Nightcrawler (2014) 95%
After cutting his teeth writing screenplays for films like The Fall and The Bourne Legacy, Dan Gilroy made his feature directorial debut with Nightcrawler, an uncomfortably tense thriller about a socially awkward man (Gyllenhaal) who finds his calling as an ambulance-chasing freelance videographer. Gilroy spent years reworking his script around the character of Lou Bloom and found a perfect partner in Gyllenhaal, who played an active part in the production of the film, lost nearly 30 pounds for the role, and turned in a powerhouse performance. With help from outstanding supporting players like Rene Russo, Bill Paxton, and Riz Ahmed, Nightcrawler went on to become one of the best-reviewd films of the year and earned Gilroy a Best Original Screenplay nod at the Academy Awards in the process. As Christopher Orr of The Atlantic pointed out, "Gyllenhaal is the same age that De Niro was in Taxi Driver and, like him, he is learning to channel an eerie, inner charisma, offering it up in glimpses and glimmers rather than all at once."

Comedian Frankie Boyle announces Aberdeen gig
by Dale Haslam
10/07/2019, 10:07 am Updated: 10/07/2019, 1:30 pm
Frankie Boyle
Comedian Frankie Boyle is heading to Aberdeen next month.
The no-holds-barred Glasgow funnyman will bring his Full Power show to His Majesty's Theatre on Tuesday August 27, it was announced today.
The performance at HMT will also be filmed for later release.
Frankie had promised fans he would be hitting the road again in a tweet earlier this week.
He said: "I'll be doing a bunch of Scottish dates over August/September with a view to filming it at the end.
"It was supposed to be a greatest hits thing but it's maybe 90% new since the last album. I'm strangely looking forward to it."
Full Power is described as Frankie presenting "his sense of mounting horror in the form of stand-up comedy" plus the "best bits" from his recent Prometheus shows, released in "volumes" as an audio download.
Aberdeen Performing Arts director of programming and creative projects Ben Torrie said: "It's been a few years since Frankie was last in Aberdeen and this is the first time he will be performing at HMT.
"If you're a fan of Frankie Boyle this will be an unmissable show in a unique setting. Don't miss it!"
Tickets for Full Power went on sale today and are expected to be in demand.
Frankie is best known for his dark, biting and often controversial sense of humour which has seen him hit the headlines over the years.
He came to national fame in 2005 for his regular appearances on Mock The Week before creating his own Channel 4 sketch show Tramadol Nights.
Most recently he has been winning new fans with his BBC Two satirical chat show, Frankie Boyle's New World Order.

6.4 Who stayed behind to shoot the liftoff from the Moon?
IN A NUTSHELL: Nobody. The footage of the liftoff of the Lunar Module from the Moon was shot using an independently powered TV camera that was radio controlled from Earth.
THE DETAILS: The visual record of the Apollo missions includes footage of the liftoff of the Lunar Module from the Moon. Some conspiracy theorists and doubters argue that this video must be fake, since there was nobody left on the Moon to take the pictures and even move the camera to follow the ascent stage of the Lunar Module as it climbed into the sky.
Figure 6.4-1. The live color TV footage of Apollo 17's liftoff from the Moon: the ascent stage of the Lunar Module separates from the descent stage and its rocket motor exhaust propels fragments of the thermal protection of the descent stage.
The answer is simple, if you take the time to read the technical documents of the Apollo missions: the lunar liftoff was shot only during Apollo 15, 16 and 17, when the TV camera was installed on the Rover (the astronauts' electric car), which at the end of the excursion was parked approximately 90 meters (300 feet) east of the Lunar Module for the very purpose of recording the liftoff of the LM.
The camera equipment was powered by the batteries of the Rover and was controlled remotely by an operator on Earth through a radio link. Indeed, its technical name was GCTA, which stands for Ground Controlled Television Assembly.
Figure 6.4-2. Graphic reconstruction of how the LM liftoff videos were shot. From the documentary Live from the Moon (Spacecraft Films).
The signal from the TV camera left on the Moon was transmitted directly to Earth through the parabolic antenna installed on the Rover, using the same method used to transmit the astronauts' moonwalks. At the time, video recording equipment was very bulky and heavy and therefore the lunar camera was not equipped to record. The liftoff had to be relayed to Earth live. Moreover, the shot had to be carefully planned beforehand.
The radio control signals in fact took about two seconds to travel from the control center in Houston to the transmitters located at various sites on Earth and from there to the Moon at the speed of light. This two-second delay made it impossible to correct the camera movements in real time: any command would reach the camera too late. Accordingly, NASA had to calculate in advance a very precise placement of the TV camera and send all commands two seconds earlier in order to have the camera tilt up and follow the ascending lunar module at the right time.
For the Apollo 15 liftoff, the camera did not tilt to follow the spacecraft, due to a malfunction of one of its motors. For Apollo 16, the camera operator, Ed Fendell, tried to follow the ascent, but was unable to do so because the Rover had not been placed correctly by the astronauts at the exact preplanned distance required to achieve the shot.
The Apollo 17 liftoff shot was achieved almost perfectly and managed to keep the spacecraft in frame as it departed.
Figure 6.4-3. Ed Fendell, the remote-controlled TV camera operator, explains the details of how the liftoff shots were achieved.
Incidentally, since the entire system was powered independently by batteries, it was able to transmit even after the astronauts had left the Moon, sending back lonely images of the moonscape, once again devoid of life and motion after humankind's brief visit.
NEXT: 6.5 Were the astronauts lifted by wires when they fell?

Haaretz: Republican Jews Launch Significant $750K Ad Buy in Key Pennsylvania House Race
Ahead of the midterm elections, Jewish Democrat incumbent, Rep. Susan Wild, competes against her Jewish Republican challenger, Lisa Scheller, in one of the key races this election cycle.
By Ben Samuels, Haaretz
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Republican Jewish Coalition is launching a major $750,000 ad buy in a competitive Pennsylvania House race, in one of the GOP's key targeted opportunities to swing a seat during the midterm elections.
The race sees the Jewish Democrat incumbent, Rep. Susan Wild, competing against her Jewish Republican challenger, Lisa Scheller, in what pundits and observers have consistently identified as one of the key races this election cycle.
"The Republican Jewish Coalition is proud to support Lisa Scheller for Congress to represent the people of Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe, and Northampton counties – an area of Pennsylvania that has been severely underserved by elitist Democrat Susan 'Wildly Out of Touch' Wild," RJC Director Matt Brooks said in a statement.
Both Wild, who converted to Judaism in 2006 and entered office in 2018, and Scheller, who speaks fluent Hebrew and mulled making aliyah and enlisting in the Israeli military when she was younger, are actively engaged in the local Jewish community. Wild has centered her time in Congress focusing on lowering prescription drug prices, is pro-choice and backs the passage of the Equality Act.
"Lisa is RJC mishpacha [Hebrew's word for family] and has been a very generous supporter and active leader at both the local and national level for years." RJC's political action committee describes Scheller, deeming her a "trailblazing business owner who has created hundreds of good-paying jobs.
The two ran a close race in 2020, where Wild won 51.9 percent to 48.1percent, though redistricting further swayed the district toward the Republican's favor.
Wild's ad campaigns to date this cycle have attempted to highlight her representing a community with a record of being "moderate and bipartisan," warning that Scheller would pave the way for a total abortion ban with no exceptions in Pennsylvania.
"While Wild robotically spouts DC talking points that the Biden-Pelosi economy is 'booming,' the voters in Pennsylvania's 7th congressional district know that's simply not true — historic, skyrocketing inflation is hurting Pennsylvania families from the grocery store to the gas station — and politicians like Susan Wild are part of the problem," Brooks added.

The Poll Bludger
Analysis and discussion of elections and opinion polls in Australia
Poll that doesn't count: number two
Poor old Gary Morgan. Every second Tuesday the political class holds its breath in anticipation of the latest Newspoll result, but when figures are released from the Roy Morgan organisation, with its many decades of history behind it, no-one cares a damn. Obviously it's entirely his own fault – I don't know a single person anywhere who thought Labor were going to win on polling day in 2001, but with his family company's reputation for reliability and sound judgement squarely on the line, Morgan bellowed from the roof-tops that just such a result was a lay-down misere.
Anyway, Morgan's first Queensland state poll for the campaign came out today, although it was conducted over a six week period ending last weekend. Labor's primary vote is on 51.5 per cent, which by Morgan's reckoning is actually at the lower end of their band for the current term which has ranged from 51 to a frankly unbelievable 57.5 per cent. The Liberals have improved 3.5 per cent to record one of their better showings with 24 per cent, while Morgan maintains an admirable consistency in his measure of National Party support which has never wavered more than 1 per cent above or below its current level of 8 per cent (Newspoll is currently 5 per cent more generous). The Greens have today been talking up their showing of 6 per cent in this morning's TNS poll but Morgan only gives them 4 per cent, behind One Nation on five. Over the long term, Morgan shows that One Nation have perked up a few per cent since the imprisonment of Hanson while the Greens' result continues their pattern of apparently random fluctuation between 3 and 6 per cent. So given that it's already been established that Morgan consistently has Queensland Labor a few percentage points above what seems realistic, there are essentially no surprises here.
Simultaneously Morgan has released a federal poll showing Labor with a two-party preferred score of 55.5 per cent, which seems a bit rich. Nevertheless opinion polls are best viewed by looking at long-term trends and there seems to be one emerging on the basis of Morgan's recent results – since the ascension of Mark Latham, Labor's results have gone from 38 per cent to 41, 42.5 and now 45 per cent. Most of this has come off the Greens, who reached a high-water mark just prior to Crean's demise, and the Democrats, now plumbing all-time depths after Andrew Bartlett's recent performance with just 1.5 per cent in the latest survey.
I don't know about you, but I think I'll reserve my judgement until Tuesday's Newspoll.

Rose and Reynolds
Friday began with some media outlets reporting as fact that Emergency Services Minister and member for Townsville Mike Reynolds was about to pull the plug on his political career and stand aside in favour of Townsville mayor and Shepherson inquiry survivor Tony Mooney. Beattie and Reynolds had nipped the story in the bud by daybreak, but as was no doubt the intention of whoever started the rumour, the incident added a touch of drama and attendant publicity to the allegations surrounding him. These relate to an alleged approach to Greens candidate Theresa Millard offering assistance in her bid for a place on council if she kept a low profile during her state election campaign. The Greens have lodged a formal complaint with the Crime and Misconduct Commission over the matter, a prosecutable offence if they know the allegations to be untrue. For his part Reynolds has been notably vehement in his denials, telling the Townsville Bulletin that Millard, his former media adviser, harboured personal malice towards him. However, barring sensational findings against Reynolds by the CMC during the campaign period (and Queensland Electoral Commissioner Bob Longland told the Courier Mail on Thursday there was no prima facie case of bribery) the Poll Bludger's judgement is that his 9.3 per cent margin two-party preferred margin will be enough to buffer him against Liberal candidate Margaret Shaw, while his existing 52 per cent primary vote should make him safe from Millard.
Merri Rose enjoyed a further campaign highlight overnight when she swore at television reporters on camera, as reported today in The Australian. The Poll Bludger is a big fan of rude words and not having been privy to footage of the incident, would love to hear from anyone who was – emails here please. With both parties jockeying for underdog status it would stand to reason that Lawrence Springborg would describe the Rose resignation as "no more than a mosquito bite on an elephant", but nonetheless the judgement is almost certainly correct. Even Rose's Gold Coast electorate of Currumbin may not prove as interesting as The Poll Bludger has been suggesting – speaking on Brisbane radio on Thursday, the Courier Mail's Mark Oberhardt said a senior Labor official had informed him that internal polling had them confident she would easily retain the seat.
Poll that doesn't count: number one
The Courier Mail reports that something called TNS has conducted a poll from a respectable sample of 700 taken "at the height of the Merri Rose resignation scandal". To the extent that sense can be made of them, the results seem in line with The Poll Bludger's expectations, showing a 55-45 two-party preferred split in Labor's favour. The article reports an alarming-sounding 38 per cent primary vote for Labor, which is apparently "5 per cent lower than at the same time in the 2001 campaign", so obviously undecided respondents are not being distributed here (Labor in fact polled 49 per cent at the 2001 election). Typically though, Beattie has ignored the latter point and constructed an opportunity to predict impending disaster by talking of a "10 per cent primary vote swing against Labor", which assumes that every single undecided voter will vote against them. The poll has the Greens on 6 per cent and One Nation on 4, but frustratingly no result is given for the Coalition. Even less comprehensible in the revelation that "Labor has only 10 per cent of second preferences, the Coalition 38 per cent, independents 15 per cent, the Greens 12 per cent and One Nation 9 per cent" – this is presumably limited to those not supporting the major parties, in which case it would be a remarkable outcome given the high proportion of Greens voters represented, and is easy to dismiss given the small sample size. Unfortunately I only have the online article to go on for now – it may well be that the newspaper features a table that makes sense of everything.
Unhappy families
While Peter Beattie obviously could have hoped for a smoother start to his campaign, The Poll Bludger is not getting too excited about either the Merri Rose resignation or Mike Reynolds' localised troubles in Townsville. Taking a step back for a moment, one need only look at the last two years' Newspoll results to get an inkling as to why the Coalition can't get a sniff no matter what disasters befall the government. Throughout that period the senior coalition partner, the National Party, were lucky to make it into double figures, and despite edging upwards in the past few surveys they are currently on a well-short-of-respectable 13 per cent. Even though the conventional wisdom says that the Liberals have been performing little better, they have left the Nationals in their wake in each survey, the current margin of 22 to 13 being the closest the Nationals have managed to get during the period in question. Put simply, the National Party has no business being the senior partner and the Queensland Coalition will not become competitive until this archaic anomaly is corrected.
In theory the Goss government's introduction of one-vote one-value should have done the job by now, but the Nationals have carried on in their time-honoured habit of winning more seats than the Liberals from fewer votes. To an extent this can be explained in terms of the geographically concentrated nature of National Party support relative to the Liberals, an invaluable asset in single-member electorate systems, as well as the deep-rooted institutional dominance the Nationals attained throughout the long years of National/Country Party hegemony, notoriously secured by a system of malapportionment and gerrymandering that did more damage to the Liberals than Labor. This was in part perpetuated by National members lingering on in seats that could theoretically have been won by the Liberals, but weren't due to the convention that challenges not be made against sitting members. However, attrition (and there was a great deal of that in 2001) should have rectified this over time.
The fundamental reason for the Liberals' failure to assert themselves has been the devastating effect of the Pauline Hanson phenomenon upon their representation over the last two elections. The outcome of the last election left no room for argument about the necessity of avoiding three-cornered contests, but with only three MPs to show for themselves the Liberals entered negotiations from a pitifully weak position. The deal that was cut allowed the Liberals to contest 43 of the 66 Labor-held seats, which sounds good until you go through the Mackerras Pendulum* from The Australian on Wednesday and mark the electorates being contested by the Liberals (and if there are any eligible ladies out there, yes I'm still available). In the unusually well-stocked section of the pendulum featuring electorates held by Labor with margins of 20 per cent or more there are 16 seats to be contested by Liberal candidates against five allocated to the Nationals. Moving down to the other end of the Labor column, let's say Malcolm Mackerras is right and there really is a uniform 7 per cent swing to the Coalition (yes I know he doesn't really say that, but indulge me here). Assuming no changes to the One Nation and independents situation (and it would be to the Nationals' benefit if there were) that will mean an extra eight seats to the Nationals and only six to the Liberals.
It could be that the significance of recent poll results is that those six electorates (Noosa, Clayfield, Kawana, Indooroopilly, Aspley and Mudgeeraba) are more likely to fall the Coalition's way than the eight in the Nationals' firing line (Burnett, Burleigh, Toowoomba North, Charters Towers, Broadwater, Thuringowa, Burdekin and Redlands). Certainly the Poll Bludger hopes this is so because a rejuvenated Liberal Party is the essential element for a revival of Queensland as a two-party state. At present though it appears it will take more than one election to effect this outcome.
* By the way, Mackerras has some different figures from the ones used in my list as he is using projections to calculate two-party Labor versus Coalition results in many cases where the ultimate two-candidate preferred outcome included independents, One Nation or both. I'm sticking with what I have because I'm interested in how close the seats came to changing hands last time, rather than the two-party contest.

Theresa Green
The Queensland Greens went into the election suffering internal problems that would have derailed the campaign of a major party, but The Poll Bludger is calculating that bedlam and disarray are not entirely unattractive to the Greens' constituency and the party's candidates will not suffer much damage to their primary vote. For the time being two Greens candidates appear of interest – ABC broadcaster and household name Andrew Carroll in Mount Coot-tha, and Theresa Millard in Townsville.
The media spotlight is today upon the latter contest following Millard's claims she had been approached by operatives for Mike Reynolds, her Labor opponent and erstwhile employer, offering her a deal in which she would "run dead" in exchange for support for her tilt at a spot on local council. But Millard had already proved that she had learned a thing or two in her capacity as Reynolds' media adviser by achieving a sensational amount of local coverage in her pre-election campaigning, making almost daily appearances in the Townsville Bulletin throughout December and the early part of this year. The Poll Bludger wondered how well Millard's vocal advocacy for the area's "marginalised" citizens would play in regional Queensland, where the cause of drunken itinerants is not normally considered a vote-winner, and still does. But she had certainly filled the vital prerequisite for success for non-major party candidates in establishing her presence within the local area. The current media frenzy should consolidate this achievement and perhaps establish her in the mind of her electorate as a paragon of non-partisan purity who stands above the cynical deal-making and sordid politicking that give the major parties a bad name.
Her chances of actually getting elected depend very much on what ends up happening with Liberal preferences. Greg Barns recently argued that a mooted ALP preference deal would put them out of the hunt by robbing them of Liberal preferences, and if he's right the party's state director Drew Hutton will indeed have a lot to answer for. The Greens haven't run a candidate in Townsville since 1995 when they polled a very healthy 13.8 per cent, their second best performance in the state. Millard's first challenge is to beat the Liberal candidate into second place, which looks like a pretty big ask given the Liberals polled 35.5 per cent of the vote last time around. It's certainly not impossible though, provided Liberal preferences flow to her rather than exhausting once she's over that hurdle. That of course depends largely on how things end up on the Liberal how-to-vote card – more details on that as the situation unfolds.

Party Girl: Planned Parenthood Annual Dinner Celebration
Embracing the mission at Planned Parenthood's annual dinner.
By Veronica Pastore May 1, 2013
Sashaying past a line of protesters and police outside the historic Sarasota Municipal Auditorium, I made it into Planned Parenthood's 47th Annual Dinner Celebration with little hassle. The attendees—among them Clare Segall, a board member who also works in the organization's health center in downtown Sarasota—would not be easily deterred. "This is my passion," said Clare, humbly and enthusiastically. Next in, I saw the always glamorous Lynn and Richard Barrie, as well as philanthropist Betty Schoenbaum, who was escorted by event co-chair Dr. Hardy Schwartz, who was making a fashion statement with a fuzzy light-up boa.
I was a little jealous of that awesome accessory, which he told me he won in the condom grab bag. That's one of the (many) things I like about Planned Parenthood —how they incorporate their message and mission into their events in playful and unobtrusive ways. That mission is an important one, clouded by all kinds of misinformation, but Planned Parenthood provides services, education and advocacy to millions who otherwise would go without.
I also had a cool accessory, though—my vintage Missoni tie (for Tie Tuesday, don'tcha know), which I wore with a white button-up and a bright green pencil skirt. People love a woman in a necktie, apparently, including the keynote speaker, Lizz Winstead, an accomplished author, comedian and co-creator of The Daily Show, who told me I looked "adorbs." Garsh.
Also looking adorbs: event co-chair Dr. Krista Toomre, Natalie Chambers and Kyla Weiner, who were all goose-necking, demonstrating the move Lizz taught them at the pre-party reception—apparently, sticking one's forehead out produces the most flattering angle when being photographed. It worked for them (see previous page).
As I sat down for dinner, chatting with Chuck and Margie Barancik and Judi Gallagher, we enjoyed a performance from the kids at SOURCE Theatre, Planned Parenthood's outreach and education program directed at teens and young adults, which creates both video and live performances. They were super enthusiastic, bounding down the center of the darkened auditorium and onto the stage to a Katy Perry song while the audience became part of the show, too, waving light-up magic wands across the room.
Planned Parenthood CEO Barbara Zdravecky and board member Clare Segall.
Naturally, the whole thing is led by a "rock star," as board chair Carolyn Johnson described her—CEO Barbara Zdravecky. Barbara walked us through the past year at Planned Parenthood, with its threatened defunding and the very public outcry that ensued. With poise, passion and pragmatism, Barbara described the important role Southwest Florida played in keeping the organization funded, calling our region "the biggest swing area in the biggest swing state in America." For me, her message underscored the fact that our support does make a tangible and important difference.
Lizz took the stage next, saying that she'd been on the road for more than 18 months as a member of the Planned Parenthood Board of Advocates. She read a selection from her new book, Lizz Free or Die, describing how she found out she was pregnant at age 17 as the result of her first sexual encounter. Alone and uninformed, she stumbled into a faith-based pregnancy center where she received the message that she was a sinner, a bad person, and that her own life was now insignificant.
Lizz juxtaposed that experience with finding Planned Parenthood (this year celebrating its 95th anniversary) and being asked questions without judgment that helped her to understand the situation and make her own decision, one that "allowed me to be the woman that Comedy Central called and said, 'We love what you've done with your comedy and the way that you respond to the world. We want you to be the person that creates The Daily Show.'
"That got to happen for me because I was allowed to make a decision about my life that allowed me to pursue my dreams," Lizz continued, encouraging us to pick up our BidPads, the handheld donation devices given to each of the attendees. The audience donated another $50,000 in less than 10 minutes when prompted by the promise of a $50,000 match from an anonymous donor and the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, eliciting a big cheer from the audience when the final zeros rolled over on the big screen.
With all the controversy and rhetoric surrounding Planned Parenthood, at first I thought that everyone at the event was pretty brave and ballsy, especially the plethora of local politicians and religious figures in attendance (including three City Commission candidates). But by the end of the night, I realized it was simpler, that everyone here, just as Lizz described, wanted to create a world where women can make their own decisions and pursue their dreams. I'll gladly fight for that. And those lines of protesters just made it all the more fun to do so. n

Celebrity CEO Marcus Lemonis Called On To Withdraw Sponsorship of Cruel Canned Hunting Contest
Support SHARK's Hard Work Fighting for Animals - Please Click Here to Make a Donation
SHARK is calling on Marcus Lemonis, host of NBC's The Profit, to withdraw the sponsorship Gander Outdoors has made for a violent and cruel canned hunting contest in Minnesota called the "US Open Pheasant Championship." The four-day slaughter will begin this Thursday, March 28, and will be held at the Minnesota Horse and Hunt club, located in Prior Lake MN. Lemonis' company, Camping World, acquired Gander in 2018.
Watch our new video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF9LnXBORsk
Marcus Lemonis is CEO of Camping World, which is the parent company of Gander Outdoors
SHARK filmed last year's US Open slaughter and our drone exposed heinous cruelty, which included hand-raised birds being kicked, torn apart and shot at point-blank range. The pheasants were hand-raised and planted in brush so slob-hunters could easily kill them. As can be seen in the screenshots below, some birds were so docile that hunters had to kick them to get them to move.
The video we released of the canned hunt last year was so powerful that many sponsors, such as BMW, Nutri-Source and Carrier, quickly abandoned it. We hope that Mr. Lemonis will do the same. Please politely write to Mr. Lemonis and ask that he withdraw sponsorship immediately and before the contest that is set to begin Thursday, March 28, 2019.

25+ years … providing the largest and most "verified" teacher database … AND the best guarantee policy in the industry.
The most teacher names, teacher job titles, teacher email addresses, teacher mail order buyers, and teacher/school qualifiers.
Twice a year every teacher name and job title is verified. We back up our high quality/accuracy standard with a "money" back guarantee.
We guarantee a "money" refund if any teacher list has a teacher name/job title inaccuracy rate greater than 10%. That's right … we guarantee 90+ percent accuracy for all teacher names and jot titles … or money refund! No other teacher list providers offer such a guarantee.
WHY IS A GUARANTEE IMPORTANT?
Teacher turnover! Compared to most other professions, teacher turnover is significant. According to NEA, about 20% of new hires leave the profession within three years … and 50% leave within five years. And each year about 20% of the teachers will change schools and about 3000 schools will close or open … every year. This significant turnover demands constant updating (phone calls, email list verification, on-site surveys, etc).
Sure, there's a lot of teacher lists for sale on the Internet, BUT if the sellers are not investing the dollars/time in keeping the teacher list up-to-date … then it's very likely a significant percentage of their teacher list is out of date. Here's a snapshot of changes made on our teacher email lists.
Teachers New to Their Grade/Subject: Not new to teaching – but new to teaching the grade / subject. Most teachers often change the grade or subject that they teach.
Years of Experience: Select teachers by exact number of years in the profession.
Highest Degree Level: Select teachers by type of degree (bachelor's, master's, or doctorate).
Book Buyers: Buyers of books … from school funds …for teacher training or curriculum.
Educators as Sales Agents: Educators who coordinate school wide programs, such as book clubs, or oversee purchases of juvenile periodicals used at home.
Multi buyers: Educators who have responded to or purchased from more than one direct mail company.
Power Buyers: Educators who have purchased within the past year and are located in a school with high buying activity.
Recency of Purchase: Teachers who have purchased through the mail within the past 6 or 12 months.
Software Buyers: Educators who have purchased computer software for use in the classroom.
Video/Multimedia Buyers: Educators who have purchased videos, CD-ROMs, and other types of audiovisual products.


Powerbox announces the launch of a new series of power supplies for automotive applications and on-board Internet of Things (IoT). Based on a highly integrated components platform and low-profile planar magnetics the new series ENA100 (100W) and ENA200 (200W) are packaged in a plastic enclosure, which is IP21 and the boards are conformal coated to withstand high humidity, complying with the challenging environments found in the automotive industry.
To guarantee the highest levels of efficiency and reliability, the ENA100 and ENA200 power stage uses specific components selected for robustness and high-reliability data and operated within a safe-band area. The series comes with galvanic isolation of 500VDC and built-in protections and filtering, making products ready to use without additional components.
As members of the Powerbox Automotive Line, the ENA100 and ENA200 units have been designed in response to the automotive electronics equipment manufacturer's demand for standardised DC/DC converters built-in low profile packaging, lower than 20 mm (0.8 "), isolated cases with an IP-class of 21, galvanic isolation, low conducted and radiated EMI and sustaining 2kV surges along with a requirement for simple installation and the ability to upgrade when more power is required, if new equipment is added.
Packaged in 116 x 88 x 18 mm (4.57 x 3.46 x 0.70 inches) polycarbonate housing, the ENA100 and ENA200 baseplate includes four mounting holes for mechanical attachment to a vehicle chassis or assembly plate. The low weight, less than 500 grams, contributes to excelling performances in vibration testing (5-50 Hz, acceleration ±7,35m/s2 ).
Input and outputs of the products are equipped with 6.3 mm industry standard connectors, along with an integrated LED, indicating the state of the output voltage. The ENA100 and ENA200 series cover a large range of applications requirements from 10VDC input up to 120 VDC (10V to 18V - 18V to 32V - 36V to 75V and 55V to 120V). Four output voltages, 12.5V, 14.5V, 24.5V and 28V will be available and, depending on the output voltage, in a range of output currents of 8A to 16A. The ENA100 and ENA200 have industry leading efficiencies of up to 96%.


I'm currently getting bogged down with other projects and unfortunately my final sprint of SIMS Bulk Import has grind to a halt. On the plus side I managed to swash a few more bugs last month, get a code signing certificate. This will mean all future releases will be signed as coming from me which is great news, it adds a layer of confidence that the code you run is unaltered by a third party. I've also started reviewing my other projects, ensure that the code on the public repository is up-to-date, I've also switched over to Git and copied them all over to GitHub. At bit more on that later.
Part of the updated process was to use a Continuous Integration server – specifically TeamCity. Simply put, these allowed the builds to occur on a dedicated box which made the whole process quicker and easier – it also added confidence as it ensured that everything required was commit in the repository. The only downside to this is the cost – although renting a VPS from OVH is cheap, it still isn't cost effective due to the limited amount of time I actually use it, I'm therefore looking at moving it to Azure as you only pay for provisioned resources and your can de-provision servers and only pay for the storage. Alas this means more messing about setting up servers.

Q: How does the SSO feature return back to the application? (iPhone)

How does Facebook SSO know which app to return to?

I am currently working on a project involving logging into facebook using the SSO. When I perform a SSO login (having been already logged in on the facebook app), what appears to be a facebook window briefly opens and closes, taking me back to the app after performing the SSO.
I was wondering, what function in the Facebook developers library is responsible for returning me to the application I was running?

A: The Facebook app simply calls a URL when it's done. The same URL you set up as a URL scheme for your app.
 You can set your own URL scheme for your app then whenever that URL is used (eg. A link on a webpage) it'll open your app.
