Top 15 from the BPO Season 2015/16
1. A Titan on the Conductor's Podium
Eighth concert of the legedary Maestro Zubin Mehta and the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra, on 20 September 2015, was rewarded by five-minute-long standing ovations. A unique personality among conductors, Mehta tirelessly promotes his friendship with and love for Serbia, and the Belgrade Philharmonic and its audience returned love with all their hearts.
2. An Ace at the BPO Season Opening Concert
The world No.1 tennis player Novak Djokovic, his wife Jelena and his coach Boris Becker attended the official launching of the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra's new concert season. Enthusiastically greeted by the audience, Novak enjoyed the concert and, during the break, took the opportunity to meet the conductor, soloists and the BPO musicians.
3. The Metronome Blog – experiencing concerts from two perspectives
The Metronome blog was launched in the beginning of the concert season 2015/16 with the idea to present the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra's concerts from several different perspectives. The Metronome includes impressions of our long-term subscribers, BPO musicians, young musicologists, as well as of 'real' bloggers, such as Luna Lu, Igor Karanov, Ivan Tokin and Branko Rosić. Swing left and right on the Metronome pendulum to find out what they experienced, noticed or learned.
4. The Philharmaaania – Because Once Is Not Enough!
It is well known that the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra's concert seasons are entirely sold out well before they even start. That is why the orchestra introduced five additional dates in the season 2015/16 for the most demanded concerts from each of the five concert series. The series "Philharmania – Because Once Is Not Enough" was conceptualized as a petite season, and this programme innovation allowed more interested persons to hear BPO concerts.
5. Caring for the Elderly
Sending out a message that we need to take care of the elderly every day, the BPO String Quartet musicians met the Vršac Gerontology Centre residents and then gave a concert marking the month of October as the international month of the elderly. According to the residents and the staff of the centre, classical music has therapeutic and antidepressant effect, so the quartet was rewarded for its performance with a lengthy applause.
6. BPO and the Harp Adventurer
The world's leading harpist Xavier de Maistre gave two extraordinary concerts with the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra, on 26 and 27 November 2015. The harp virtuoso demonstrated to the Belgrade audience why he is acclaimed as an authentic soloist, who keeps redefining the possibilities of this attractive instrument. If you were to listen to a performance of this artist, former member of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, with your eyes closed, you would think that he is playing on at least three instruments at the same time!
7. The New Year's Philharmonic Circus
Traditionally the merriest performance, the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra's New Year's concert was played on two consecutive nights owing to huge interest, on 25 and 26 December 2015. Advertised as the "Philharmonic Circus", the ringmaster of the orchestral "troupe" was American conductor David Levi, while the soloists "juggled" unusual instruments, such as a toy piano, sandpaper, a bicycle, a toy clock, balloons etc.
8. Guest Appearance in Oman
With the New Year's concert at the monumental Royal Opera House Muscat, the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra hypnotised the audience in Oman, making its debut appearance in this part of the world. Directed by conductor David Levi, the orchestra appeared in the glamorous venue that features state of the art technology, while the mix of traditional and contemporary Omani architecture distinguishes this opera house as a first-class international art venue. With this performance, the Belgrade Philharmonic stood side by side on equal terms with the Vienna and London philharmonic orchestras, whose appearances are frequently included in the concerts seasons of this opera house.
9. Winter Megalomania
For the first concert in 2016, the Belgrade Philharmonic prepared an unusual winter compilation by bringing together three stylistically entirely different pieces to tell a unique "winter" story. The sounds of nature from Vivaldi's Winter have served as inspiration to many composers. Concertmaster Tijana Milošević took the audience on a winter journey in the rhythm of tango from Astor Piazzolla's Four Seasons of Buenos Aires and its repetitive version from the American Four Seasons by minimalist Philip Glass.
10. The Philharmonic Plays South
The Belgrade Philharmonic does not belong only to Belgrade, and the musicians went on The Philharmonic Plays South mini tour to prove it. In late March, the musical caravan travelled to Vranje, Leskovac and Aleksinac, and its concerts attracted huge audiences hungry for top-notch cultural events. The local venues were too small to accept all people interested in hearing the Belgrade Philharmonic chamber ensemble's performance, which will live in the memory of the three towns for a long time.
11. The Philharmonic House of Magic
As part of the children's concert series, more than 3000 youngsters in Belgrade heard the musical story about "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", by American film score composer John Williams. Aleksandar Kojić, the conductor with the magic baton, and Branislava Podrumac, as the narrator, led the Belgrade schoolchildren through the story of the extraordinary boy Harry, turning the Belgrade Philharmonic Hall into a house of magic between 23 March and 1 April.
12. Nemanja Radulović – "Hendrix on the Violin"
The winning combination of Nemanja Radulović, conductor Eiji Oue and the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra gave unforgettable time-stopping concerts for two consecutive nights at Kolarac, on 7–8 April. A total of 1800 music lovers had the opportunity to hear the one-of-a-kind violinist with the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra after 17 years. The audience in the first concert will remember for a long time Nemanja's acrobatic feat when his violin string broke and he whistled a short section of Bruch's concerto while taking the instrument from the Concertmaster Tijana Milošević.
13. The Masked Concert
The Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra treated its audience to a genuine spectacle by combining music, acting, pantomime and dance in the performance of Martin Fröst, the world's leading clarinettist, on 15 April. Famous for redefining the capabilities of his instrument and of the classical music in general, under the baton of conductor Daniel Raiskin and accompanied by the BPO, Fröst played the multimedia piece Peacock Tales by Swedish composer Anders Hillborg.
14. Marathon as a Philharmonic Event
On Friday, 13 May, the audience at Kolarac bore witness to the fact that a Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra's concert could resemble a marathonian endeavour. Ludwig van Beethoven's complete five piano concertos were played in one evening, with the pianist star Alexei Volodin, conductor Daniel Raiskin and the BPO musicians in the role of the long-distance musical runners. The Marathon concert tested the stamina not only of the musicians, but also of the attending audience, for whom not even four hours of music was enough.
15. The Belgrade Disharmonic Orchestra's Birthday Concert
The season 2015/16 was concluded with a devil-may-care concert party that celebrated the orchestra's 93rd birthday. The "Belgrade Disharmonic Orchestra" was directed by actor Vladimir Aleksić and showed his "conducting prowess". The birthday party ended, obviously, with a cake, while the audience enthusiastically hailed the players, as well as Vladimir Aleksić, who entertained them and gave them a completely different and unique concert experience.

Studentski trg 11, 11000 Belgrade


KOKOMO, Ind — High school students not prepared for college-level math usually take longer to graduate, and are more likely to drop out with significant student debt, but no degree.
Teresa Kennelly focuses on taking the test.
Indiana University Kokomo received a $5,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Howard County to enhance college math readiness. The campus is partnering with the Kokomo-Center School Corp. to assure Kokomo High School students are prepared for college-level math classes when they graduate.
High school math preparation is a key to earning a college degree and graduating in a timely manner. More than 30 percent of Indiana students enrolling in four-year colleges require at least one remedial math course before they are ready for college-level math. Remedial classes do not count towards a college degree, and increase the cost of a college education.
The project aims to assess and identify any math deficiencies that need to be addressed before students go to college. This week, all Kokomo High School students are taking the IU Kokomo math placement test, which will reveal their readiness for college math.
Chancellor Michael Harris said the project addresses a serious roadblock students face in earning a college degree.
"As a regional campus, we are committed to proactively addressing a very serious problem related to timely college completion rates in our service region," he said. "We are responding to the call from the Indiana Commission for Higher Education and the Indiana Department of Education to find ways to partner with our colleagues in K-12 schools to address college math readiness."
After students receive their test results, IU Kokomo math faculty will work with Kokomo-Center math teachers to enhance curriculum and develop teaching strategies to prepare students for college-level math. Students will re-take the test in May to evaluate progress.
Kokomo-Center Schools Superintendent Jeff Hauswald appreciates the opportunity to work with the campus in preparing students for college.
"I am delighted that IU Kokomo initiated working with our students and teachers to enhance college readiness. We are committed to increasing our rate of students who are prepared for college."


This year, it seems people got into decorating for Halloween a lot more than normal. And as you've probably noticed, retail department stores are pushing the Christmas decor on us before Thanksgiving. It's getting crazy. I like to keep the holidays separate — my rule is no Christmas music or Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving. But stores seem to not be informed of my rule.
Before long, these holidays will all become merged by the unstoppable commercialization process. Figuring out how to market the holidays together might seem difficult, but fortunately someone has already figured all this out. In the article I'm about to link to, Chris Carlisle combines Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. For a mascot / symbol, he creates a "ninja robot Mecha Santa Claus". If that's not enough to get you to read the article, I don't know what is… Plus it's funny, and he has a good way of explaining all this.
If the holiday's ever did merge, corporations would create a frenzy with there black *nov-cember shopping.
*nov-cember is the combined months of november and december in which preposterous deals are to be found each and everyday of those months… but only if you get to the store by 3a.m. each morning or camp out the night before.
I'm not for the merging of the holidays, and I agree that Christmas shouldn't even be advertised until after Thanksgiving. But I like the idea of multiple "Black Friday" days. Have a few of them during the week, so there won't be so many people. There would still be lines, but not so crazy like it is now.

Throughout my teenage years I played the guitar and sang in a few different bands, and I even tried my hand at being a singer/songwriter. Reflecting on those experiences now as a Product Manager, I can see many similarities in the way Agile product and software development teams work compared to a rock band.

What struck me most about watching the BBC's Olympic coverage on the middle Sunday evening was not just the plethora of Gold medals that had been won by Team GB throughout the day at Rio 2016 (and the potential for even more to come) but what Sir Chris Hoy said about game changers.

18th Annual Ross UK Flock Awards reward outstanding industry champions
Company/products Conferences and events
Aviagen® recognised and rewarded 27 winners at the 18th Ross® UK Flock Awards, held at Tewkesbury Park in Gloucestershire on May 30, 2018. The champions of the Flock Awards are breeder managers, hatchery managers and rearing farm managers.
Alan Thomson, general manager, Aviagen UK Limited, shared a review of the past year, pointing out that Ross parent stock (PS) performance objectives had been both achieved and exceeded. Such results contributed ultimately to 3 percent of national annual broiler flocks, with outstanding breeder success passed on to the next generation of broilers.
The top award this year went to Corbett Farms for Cargill Meats Europe – and, says Richard Corbett, "We are immensely proud to win this award. It is a reflection of the skill, dedication and hard work put in by all of our team." Richard's winning formula is "to listen, share and not to be afraid to walk your own path." The winning team included Mike Ball, breeder farm manager, Dave Williams, rearing farm manager, and Phil Harris, hatchery manager.
An impressive roll call of winners
Among the award recipients, seven first-time winners were joined by repeat winners such as Rhonda Rice from Banham Poultry, who has had no less than seven successful breeder flocks. Average experience of this year's award winners was 22 years, ranging from just 24 months all the way up to 41 years.
When interviewed, Ross Flock Award winners gave profound insights into what it takes to create a top flock: Some cited passion and an ability to "listen to the birds" to ascertain what they needed. Others put success down to teamwork, attention to detail, nutrition and good management. Careful observation of the birds, good egg quality and top fertility were also given as reasons.
Success arises from effort, commitment and time
"Our prize winners' observations confirm that successful flocks are all about bird management, stockmanship, effort, commitment and time," says Stuart Thomson, head of UK sales and technical, "and all of them deserve the warmest congratulations." Stuart added that the UK poultry industry is a benchmark for other countries, with Aviagen providing a major commitment to its success. He also observed that "only some of the improvement is down to biological or genetic improvement; environmental factors, ultimately controlled by the teams on site, play the most important part in achieving top results."
The event was attended by nearly 60 guests, who comprised prize recipients, production managers, company owners and the Aviagen UK team – all celebrating the efforts of the breeder managers, hatchery managers and rearing farm managers who work so hard and deserve so much recognition. "The event was all about our award winners," concludes Alan Thomson. "These are the people dedicated to caring for the animals with pride and professionalism by giving that extra bit, by going that extra mile – and thus achieving winning flocks."

Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya, a pioneer of spiritual renaissance was born on 20th September 1911, in Anwalkheda, Agra District. He met his Guru, a great Himalyan Yogi, when he was only 15 years of age and scrupulously carried out his biddings throughout his life.
He took part in the struggle for independence as a volunteer, went to jail a number of times and embarked upon the task of social and moral upliftment through spiritual means in 1935 with the blessings of Mahantma Gandhi.
A sage, a visionary and a reformer, the Acharya initiated 100 points Yug Nirman Yojna, lived a discriplined life of devout austerity, visited the Himlayas several times and attained spiritual eminence.
The Gayatri Pariwar fraternity; Shantikunj Ashram—an academy for moral and spiritual awakening; Brahmavarches Research Institute—which strives to synthesize science with spirituality and over 3000 social reform centres (Shakti-peeths) are his greatest contributions to the modern worlds.
The Acharya, Great devotee of Gayatri lived an ideal life for 80 years and voluntarily shed his physical sheath on Gayatri Jayanti, 2nd June 1990.
Ayurveda—the Vedic Science of Health, is being seen by many as the leading mode of Alternative and Complementary Medicine and Therapy in the future because of its comprehensive approach to the mind-body system. In the ancient times Ayurveda was found effective in inducing kayakalpa (transformation of a diseased or weak body into a young vigorous one) and providing longevity of youthful health and charm. The polluted environment and inability of people to stick to the ascetic disciplines desired for ktiyäkalpa certainly restrain such magical effects in the modem times. However, the holistic healthcare and natural healing offered by this ancient medical science continue to justify its importance in several respects. Moreover, yoga is an integral part of the total healthcare approach under this Vedic Science. Applications of the rapidly becoming popular choice of herbal therapies would also be incomplete without the knowledge of the original science of these emanated from the Vedas — the Ayurveda. This perhaps is the main reason why more and more people, not only in India but also across the globe, are getting attracted towards Ayurveda.
The holistic approach of Ayurveda pays attention to every aspect of life. It gives us practical guidance on the secrets of perfect health, which lie in its principle of 'living in complete harmony with our natural system'. It is amazing to note that the recommendations made in the Ayurvedic scriptures ages ago remain valid and effective even today. The ancient experts of this Vedic science had compiled a volume entitled "Swastha Vratta Sammuchchaya" to describe the methods of prevention of sickness and maintenance of health under changing conditions of weather, place, time, etc. This book on Health-Tips from the Vedas gives the excerpts — most relevant in today's context— from such scriptures for our ready reference. If we could adopt even a fraction of these in our daily life, lot of our time and money would be saved from running around the clinics and dispensaries in our hectic and stress-inducing schedules.

This Sprawling Car Shelter Doubles as a Member's-Only Club for Collectors
The 47,000-square-foot Otto Car Club also features a private dining venue, a library, and a host of social events.
By Shaun Tolson	 on March 7, 2019

Five years ago, as Eli Kogan was beginning to assemble his own collection of automobiles while living in Los Angeles, he quickly discovered the hassles that accompany owning multiple vehicles. Kogan dreamt of an auto club that offered exclusivity and combined social events with high-end automotive storage and collection-management services. After some research, the young car enthusiast discovered that such a place didn't seem to exist. Leveraging his background in commercial real estate, as well as previous stints in the hospitality and automotive industries, Kogan got to work building one, eventually establishing the Otto Car Club in Scottsdale, Ariz. The name honors Nikolaus August Otto, a German engineer who is considered the father of the modern combustion engine.
"We have the right ethos here," Kogan says of the club's Scottsdale location. "Most people come to Scottsdale for leisure; they're retired or seasonal and they come here for the weather, the roads, and the car culture. Scottsdale is the next automotive mecca."

The club's home—a 47,000-square-foot, purpose-built facility—features a 33,000-square-foot main collection room that can easily accommodate 110 vehicles in dedicated floor spaces, all of which allow those vehicles to independently move in and out of the showroom at any time. The air-conditioned facility (complete with carbon monoxide sensors, security cameras, and motion detectors) is also equipped with stacker spaces that can hold an additional 75 cars. Every space is outfitted with trickle-charge capability, including connectivity to 220 amps for hybrid models.
Outside, the club is further equipped with 19 private, two-car garages (all outfitted with the same features and capabilities as the main showroom floor), which provide members with 24-hour access. An additional two-car garage exists as the club's in-house detail bay—a facility that provides cleaning and maintenance services for all members' vehicles. "We take all the legwork out of owning multiple cars," Kogan explains. "We make it arrive-and-drive for the members."

Inside the club's main building, on the second floor, Otto members can enjoy a private dining room, a library, and a variety of entertaining and social areas equipped with a billiards table, custom furniture, and a full wet bar. "A lot of these collectors want to share their cars with other people, but they don't want to do it in an environment that makes them uncomfortable," says Kogan, alluding to the downfalls of most social gatherings for car collectors, like cars-and-coffee events that are staged early in the morning and in parking lots that are open to the public. "[As members of Otto], they can be around like-minded individuals and not feel such a crazy spotlight. They can share their passion with people that understand it to the same level that they do."
The second-floor offers another vantage point for the vehicles. Photo: Courtesy of the Otto Car Club.
Exclusive club-organized opportunities—like attending car and motorcycle model launches, ride-and-drive events featuring new exotic sports cars, and track days at the nearby Apex Motor Club—are a major selling point for membership. "We're trying to facilitate unparalleled experiences that they wouldn't have access to outside of Otto," says its founder.
The club offers two membership options. Social, which cost $5,000 per year, provides access to the facility and its amenities and the ability to participate in any of the club's social events. Executive membership, $8,500 per year, includes all of the social perks, plus access to vehicle storage and the club's collection-management services. Monthly storage fees range from $400 (on stackers) to $1,000 for a two-car garage.

Looking to the future, Kogan is already eyeing a handful of other destinations where Otto Car Club facilities could thrive. And thrive is exactly what he believes the clubs will do, especially as autonomous driving technology grows more popular and more advanced. If the day should come where the roads are populated mostly by self-driving machines, there will be a demand for such sanctuaries. "For people who care about cars," he says, "places like Otto are going to be 10 times more important."

ICE officer fires shots in Antioch grocery store parking lot while trying to make arrest
Undocumented immigrant surrenders to FBI
Police have responded to a shots fired call in the parking lot of a Food Lion grocery store in Antioch.
By: Laken Bowles
Metro police officers responded to a grocery store in Antioch after a federal immigration officer fired shots while trying to take someone into custody.
The call came in around 7 a.m. Thursday in the parking lot near Food Lion on Richards Road.
Bryan Cox of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the incident happened during a traffic stop. FBI officials said DHS officers were trying to stop an undocumented immigrant regarding immigration law violations.
Cox said the man tried to flee in a white box truck and drove towards the agent. The agent fired two rounds during the incident.
Cox said the individual did stop at some point, but continued even though an agent was in front of the truck. He stressed the immigration officers were doing everyday enforcement and targeted the man who is reportedly a 39-year-old man from Mexico who is in the country illegally. He allegedly had been deported from the U.S. multiple times.
NewsChannel 5 first obtained surveillance video of the incident from a business across the street. It showed the truck was already parked in the parking lot when an unidentified car with flashing lights and a white pickup truck pulled up. A few minutes later, the truck could be seen driving away moments before one of the agents appeared to raise his hand and point at the vehicle.
FBI officials said the man was injured in the shooting.
The agents could be seen chasing after the truck in the parking lot before pulling back.
Metro Nashville police confirmed the box truck was later found at Country Meadows mobile home park down the street but the driver was nowhere to be found.
Sky 5 showed the box truck had at least one bullet hole in the windshield.
A spokesperson with the FBI said the agency is investigating a potential assault on a federal officer. The FBI said there is no indication this person is a threat to the community.
According to police, Metro officers were not involved in the incident but stayed on site to secure the scene. Agents with the FBI and U.S. Department of Homeland Security are handling the investigation.
Nashville Mayor David Briley released the following statement:
"The federal government's inability to arrive at comprehensive immigration reform results in situations like what happened in Antioch this morning. This is exactly what we don't want happening in our city. MNPD is no longer involved and has turned the scene over to the FBI.
MNPD is currently looking for the victim of this shooting so that he may receive any needed medical assistance. My top priority remains the safety and well-being of all of the residents of Nashville."
The FBI took the undocumented immigrant into custody after he surrendered. He is receiving medical treatment at a Nashville hospital. ICE officials say he has multiple prior convictions in Davidson County, some of which are violent convictions.
ICE spokesperson Bryan Cox told NewsChannel 5 that this is an example of how Nashville's policy of not cooperating with ICE could be dangerous to the community.

CSD (Wikipedia) is an autonomous government organization for directing the development of sport within Spain. It was established through Decree No. 2258/1977, of August 27, although it traces its roots to the Delegación Nacional de Deportes (DND; Wikipedia), which was established on February 22, 1941. In 1956 it changed its name to Delegación Nacional de Educación Física y Deportes (DNEFD), dependent on the Minister-Secretary General of the Movement (of FET y de la JONS) until the Dictatorship came to an end and all the institutions were dismantled, which ocurred to the DNEFD on April 1977 and its duties were taken over by the current CSD.
CSD is currently dependent of the Ministry of Culture and Sport.

Q: "What actor or actress did John Hughes work with, who was made for a John Hughes movie? Likewise, who working today would be the perfect John Hughes movie star?" – Krissy R. of The Latecomers
A: That's an apropos question to start off the first ASK TRIVIA CLUB, with Trivia Club: Fist Pump Freeze Frame, a celebration of John Hughes films, coming to The Gladstone in the Melody Bar on September 17th. So thank you, Krissy! Now that the necessary plug for our upcoming event is out of the way though, let's get down to brass tacks (if you'll pardon this upholstery-based turn of phrase that derives from late-1800's Texas). You suspect, I'm sure, that I'll be saying one of two names. Molly Ringwald, or Matthew Broderick. Two excellent options, no doubt.
With Broderick, Hughes had the smarter-then-your-average kid (an archtype later returned to in Home Alone, most notably) living the ultimate fantasy day-off. The problem with Broderick however was his aloofness, while in the John Hughes mold. He was entertaining, but completely disconnected. You wanted to be him, but it was impossible to see yourself AS him. Lest you realize he was only a figment of Cameron's imagination.
Wait, forget that last part. That's another edition of Ask Trivia Club.
Conversely, Molly Ringwald was the heart and soul of John Hughes' teen movie-era. She was, as it goes, his muse in red hair. The trick, in this discussion of who I think was PERFECT for a John Hughes movie, is at the same time separating the character from everyone else in their respective film, to see if the actor is still entertaining and interesting on their own merits. Honestly, Ringwald doesn't stand-up in a vacuum. Though she worked well as a foil for the characters around her, making Judd Nelson the coolest (for a fleeting moment), and Jon Cryer a martyr, it's SHE who can't work without THEM. At the end of the day, she's too boring. If not for Hughes, she's forgettable.
So who was made for a John Hughes movie?
The one and only John Candy.
Even cameo-ing in the teen-to-family transition film of sorts, "She's Having a Baby", John Candy started to collaborate with Hughes, during his family-film phase. There's no one that fits the John Hughes mold better, in my eyes, than John Candy. Candy embodied an adult immaturity that was at its zenith during his trio of major Hughes roles, "The Great Outdoors", "Planes, Trains & Automobiles", and last but certainly not least, "Uncle Buck". For example, "Uncle Buck" was what Kevin McCallister would grow up to become. Within that immaturity, was also a paternal glow that measured up and even surpassed the likes of Harry Dean Stanton in "Pretty in Pink". Handled with aplomb in his major roles, Candy even shone through with heart-warming glee in his smaller turn in "Home Alone".
Finally, Candy was the personification of one of the biggest thesis statements the entire John Hughes filmography had to offer, the concept of "class structure" or "class struggle", upper vs. lower, upper-middle vs. middle, etc. In John Candy, John Hughes had the personification of middle class struggle. Candy may not have been Hughes, as much as Anthony Michael Hall was in the Breakfast Club, but Candy was US. John Candy was someone who you both couldn't help but cheer for and be entertained by.
Seriously, you guys. Planes, Trains & Automobiles!
Now the second part of the question, who in the present day would have been perfect for the dearly-departed John Hughes to make a movie around? Maybe it was because I've been marathoning Parks & Rec, but what about Nick Offerman? Or Chris Pratt?
I really wanted to go with Chris Pratt.
Though there still seems to be something missing. From Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern in "She's Having A Baby" to the McCallister household, a character unto itself, in Home Alone, class structure has always been an important thing to note in a John Hughes lead character, as I mentioned above. Chris Pratt, and especially Nick Offerman, are too blue-collar. John Candy already did it all with that character; it would be a disservice to anyone to look to dip into that well again. So I went another direction and I almost went with Jay R. Ferguson, but ultimately backed off.
Not that the dude gave any fucks, of course.
As Stan Rizzo on Mad Men he's become a revelation in the past season. The latter-day Rizzo appearance of Ferguson's could have easily put him in the vaunted John Hughes bad guy role, in good company with James Spader, not to mention Andrew McCarthy (what, you AREN'T on Team Ducky?), or Dan Akroyd from the Great Outdoors. Then Rizzo goes and grows a beard?! As superficial as the change appeared, it also opened up the actor to the kind of character work and conversation that showed that YES there is potential for Chevy Chase in the guy, hell possibly even that lovable every guy John Candy. But at the end of the day, was I giving Ferguson the nod, or Stan Rizzo?
So who would be perfect casting for a modern day John Hughes-made movie? Anna Kendrick. What can I say, she has the potential to play so many facets and is not only attractive but also inherently funny and self-deprecating. Kendrick seems to have a maturity past her years, as well as the duel ability to play anywhere within the Hughes-centric "class struggle". Remember how I said she was attractive? It's an attractiveness that is mystifying to geeky men such as myself, and non-threatening and hell even likable, to other women.
Pitch Perfect, whether it's a good movie or not, proves that Kendrick could even make a chart-climbing addition to those always exceptional John Hughes movie mix-tapes. Anna Kendrick is a multi-tool movie actor, and let me just end this first question with a wild bit of hyperbole. If Kendrick had been in Molly Ringwald's shoes, she wouldn't have ended up in TV movies, she would have ended up with the career of Jody Foster.

Q: "On the Itchy & Scratchy CD-ROM, is there a way to get out of the dungeon without using the wizard key?" -- @Kevin__Morgan
A: What the hell are you talking about, Kevin? Shouldn't we REALLY be talking about episode 2F09 when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone? He strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones!
Ahem, sorry, it's just when a question strikes a nerve I just can't help myself.
Q: "Who would REALLY win in a fight; Superman or Batman?" -- @saadk
A: Speaking of striking a nerve, Saad! The simple questions will always divide opinion. Here is my answer, however. Who REALLY wins in a fight?
Superman.
He seems to agree.
The dramatic answer is Batman. The right answer is Superman. And yes, I realize I've now made an enemy out of Chris Sim. Remember though Sim, and all those like-minded comic books fans, I'm not saying who is better, or which character in more readable, I'm simply saying that if these two four-colored character REALLY fought? Superman would be able to beat Batman, or any number of other characters who don't have any powers beyond that of a normal human Olympian (other then a psychotic level of preparedness) for that matter, any number of ways within the first second.
There is no other answer I'm willing to give, or even a devil in this discussion that I'm willing to advocate. The flight, speed, strength, and damage that Superman is able to take, adding in his heat-vision alone, gives Batman a zero percent chance against Superman in a "REAL" fight.
Oh, don't be SO dramatic!
I only put quotations around a capitalized word like that because of course Batman has a chance, especially in a comic book that has "Batman" written across the cover. Superman will always hold back, there will always be kryptonite, etc. As most action-oriented stories go, the real answer is always the quickest and most boring approach to the potential of thrills and adventure. It's what makes Superman a more difficult character to write well, it seems, than Batman. Aside from noir-ish story tropes being totally cool, of course.
Seriously though, Superman wins. And I'm right, because you asked me.

Inconsistency has been plaguing Indian hockey for quite some time and the hosts need to address it before squaring off against Rio Olympic bronze medallist Germany in their final pool match of the Hockey World League (HWL) Final here today. Outstanding in one match but disastrous in another, near-perfect in one game but sloppy in the next — this has been Indian men's hockey team's sorry tale for the last few years.
With one draw and one loss, India is currently at the bottom in Pool 'B' with one point. The pool is being led by the Germans who have four points from one win and a draw. Even though the pool matches are there only to decide who plays whom in the quarter-finals, the Indians will be desperate to prove their critics wrong.

Community Building Journalism
media consciousness
Working Class Consciousness, Demystification and Reenchantment, Strategic Capacity, International Networks of Alternative Media, Indigenous Media, Community Networks, Media Diversity, Citizen Journalism, Citizenship Schools, Labor Visions
UMass/Boston
How do activists, would-be activists, and those interested in learning about and participating in any movement or community of practice get a sense of what the best practices are, what the underlying philosophies are, who the leadership is and what they're thinking, what the key institutions and organizations are and how they're developing, what the most useful resources and tools are, and what's going on in other communities? How do people learn how to participate with a critical and reflective perspective?
The journalistic pattern and communication tools noted here can be used in any field, narrow or wide, where public education and outreach as well as discussion and information sharing among key contributors and other participants are important to the vitality and development of the field.
There are many ways of speaking to this family of problems/issues/concerns: face-to-face get-togethers, from conversations to conferences; email/discussion lists, blogs, web sites and bulletin boards; books and articles; faxes and radio—are all useful approaches. Tying into all of these, regular publications have come to serve a key role in movement-development and community-building. Tom Paine's Common Sense at the beginning of the American Revolution, arousing the colonists in a radically new "common sense" way, and The Federalist Papers, the country's first major newspaper op-ed series, designed to convince people to support the newly drawn up Constitution—these crucial works of popular journalism that helped set our country's founding are indicative of what can be found in any social and political movement, large or small, specialized or general. Regular publications that cover the events and developments of a movement are indicative of the depth of thought and commitment that people have to their work and their interest in sharing it and learning from one another. Movement/community-building journalism and their publications are most often written and produced by the actors and participants in the movement and provide reflections on the roots and meanings of specific contributions to the field; they tie particular events and achievements, programs, institutions, and actors to a wider field of interconnected activities that together point toward renewed possibilities for people creating a healthier and more democratic common world. Consider professional academic disciplines, how they all have their many journals (international, national, regional) and their growing on-line availability and distribution, and their importance to developing cohesion and direction in their respective communities of practice. Consider the situation among artists, social workers, leftists, conservatives, citizens of any size viable community. In American political life, consider the longevity of key political journals and how they have not only reflected trends and movements but helped define the movements themselves and provided an arena for its participants to learn about and from one another—that strand of radical liberalism that has characterized The Nation from its inception as a vocal anti-slavery voice, the descent from progressive liberalism to neoconservatism represented by The New Republic, the development and fracturing of the radical political culture and politics of eastern European Jewish immigrants as found in The Partisan Review, Dissent, and Commentary.
In the field of community media and technology, the Community Technology Review (www.comtechreview.org) reflects several useful pattern features of current community-building journalism:
•	CTR has served as the formal and informal publication of both the Community Technology Centers' Network, www.ctcnet.org, the country's oldest and largest association of nonprofit and community organizations dedicated to providing emerging technology resources for those who don't ordinarily have effective access, and of the Association for Community Networking (www.afcn.org), the affiliation of institutions and individuals interested in developing community-wide information resources and tools. CTR has covered key directions and issues of its two prime organizational partners by placing them within the developments of the wider field of community media and technology. Thus, for example, the fall 1999 issue was a joint production of CTCNet, AFCN, and the Alliance for Community Media (ACM, www.alliancecm.org), the national association of community cable public, education, and governmental (PEG) access centers; ACM and community cable access center development receive on-going coverage. CTR has maintained close relations with the Community Media Review, ACM's official publication; with the fairly-recently established Journal of Community Informatics (http://ci-journal.net), the international journal of what is emerging as the emerging academic discipline of the field, especially outside the United States; with the Digital Divide Network, the online communication environment (at www.digitaldividenetwork.org) that has done so much to address issues involving the problem identified in its name; and with the Nonprofit Technology Enterprise Network (www.nten.org), the association of nonprofit technology assistance providers, and has offered ongoing coverage of NTEN, Circuit Riders, CompuMentor/TechSoup and other organizations/developments in this part of the field. To the degree it is a model, CTR suggests that coverage of key organizations in a field provide a useful map that can be of assistance to both the experienced actor and the new participant looking for information and guidance.
•	CTR is published simultaneously on-line and in hard copy, using state-of-the-art tools most appropriate to each environment. The developing on-line environment has been designed with open source publishing tools (Movable Type/Drupal) that provide a large number of embedded hyperlinks for readers to easily explore special areas and references in depth, extensive searching capacity throughout the archives (www.comtechreview.org/issue.php), interactive options for reader comments/additions and communication with authors and editors. Desktop publishing is tied to appropriate printer and print-on demand options for hard copy production and distribution, providing a tangible publication for those readers and occasions where hard copy availability is especially appropriate and useful. With the growing number of links to community-produced audios and videos, CTR provides an integrated multi-media platform that models a variety of approaches that can be used.
•	Articles are written by a combination of recognized leaders in the field and first-time authors who have worked on innovative projects and new resources. With first-time authors, editorial staff have expended substantial time in providing writing and editorial assistance. Overall, the tone and approach towards the reader is one that assumes an interest and some familiarity with the field but one that seeks to provide explanations and meanings when technical or field "jargon" or acronyms are used; in general the CTR seeks to welcome the reader into an on-going conversation among some of the major practitioners and leaders in the field (hence the inclusion and important role of photos of authors and individuals who are participants in the events covered). In contrast to so-called "objective" or "neutral" journalism and reportage, movement building journalism engages both the producers and readers in a way that builds and strengthens their communities.
Develop journalism and communication venues that present news, events, and developments in a field in-depth, covering key organizations and institutions to offer a map and guide, using the most appropriate communication tools for participant leaders and actors. For those interested in using hard copy or on-line tools for community-building in a field that does not currently make use of them, discuss the situation with your colleagues and compatriots and find an associated field where such tools are used. Those who have developed them will almost always provide useful advice and even volunteer assistance.
How do activists and those interested in movements or communities of practice get a sense of best practices, underlying philosophies, strategies, leadership, key institutions and organizations, useful resources and tools, and current work? Developing journalism and communication venues that present in-depth news, events, and developments in a field is essential. And covering key organizations and institutions can help offer a map and guide.

2 Hardman Street
GIA: 158,000 sq ft / 14,679 sq m
Use: Office and retail
Status: Completed 2008
Architect: BDP
Spinningfields
2 Hardman Street is a very modern and contemporary building with an architectural typology that resonates with the building's conservation area context in terms of its scale and the use of materials.
Designed with both imagination and skill to offer panoramic views and deliver natural light to all four elevations. 2 Hardman Street is a perfect example of modern workspace, comprising of seven floors with average floor plates of 20,000 sq ft that make for a very flexible place of work. Set within the central part of Spinningfields it has access to the whole range of exciting amenities on offer within the estate.
Light floods into the building from its central atrium; the appearance of its primary glass curtain wall softened and warmed by white oak panels and not one but two impressive entrances, each with its own seating area and lift lobby.


Indiegogo are pioneers in the crowdfunding space.
In 2012, Indiegogo wanted to take their brand to the next level of polish. Influenced by their brand essence of personal empowerment and global inspiration, we used multi-colored, interwoven shapes to evoke the collaborative and multicultural nature of the platform. All aspects of the visual identity were designed to give Indiegogo an inviting appeal.
The heart shapes converge toward a center point, symbolizing the passion people have about pursuing and funding their own ideas.
The website uses a clean design style to show unique campaign pages, donation counters and the campaign creation process. We worked closely with Indiegogo's in-house development team to create a digital styleguide for them to use.


I don't remember the first time I was called GiGi, but according to my mother it first started when my baby brother was learning to talk.
My mother thought it was a cute nickname, but I hated it. No matter how hard she tried to convince me, I refused to be okay with having GiGi as a nickname.
Eventually, no one called me GiGi anymore.
The first time I met Jon's girls, he introduced me as "Mrs. Paige." We ate lunch together in a crowded Chik-Fil-A restaurant. Maddie, the oldest, wearing a mismatched outfit complete with a baseball cap pulled to the side, talked a mile a minute. Megan, the younger one, wore a dress and a glittery headband, clung to her Daddy's arm. I couldn't tell if it was from insecurity or fear.
As we sat down to eat our lunches, Maddie asked her dad if she could go get some condiments for her sandwich and fries. He gave permission. She left the table. Then five steps later, she turned around and came back to the table, flashed the most brilliant smile I've ever seen, and then asked if she could get anyone else something while she was up.
Megan, who sat cuddled up to Jon, occasionally smiled shyly at me, but mostly she was quiet, allowing her father and older sister to do all the talking.
That was in October. I wouldn't see his girls again until the last day of 2009.
It was the New Year's Eve I had no plans. Always before, I had somewhere to go, something to do, a person to be with … but not in 2009. It looked like I would be spending the day completely alone.
I quietly hung up the phone, figuring perhaps Jon would call me back in a few minutes, after he had talked more with Megan. I felt like he would confirm what I assumed was going to be the result of that discussion, that his girls needed him more than I needed a place to go so it would be better for everyone if I didn't join them for New Year's Eve.
And I was right … well, right about the phone ringing. Everything else I had gotten wrong.
The person calling me back turn out to be Megan.
Later that day, I showed up to Jon's with my craft box in tow. The girls and I made a few fun crafts together, bonding over paint and hot glue guns. Later on, we went out for dinner, going to a Mexican restaurant that had a huge buffalo head hanging on the wall. As we walked passed the buffalo, Megan held tightly to my hand.
I had no idea that exactly one year to the day I would become Mrs. Jon Hamilton.
"Mrs. Paige just sounds too formal," I said.
"Okay … what do you suggest?" Jon asked.
"Maybe we could let the girls decide what to call me," I said.
Both Megan and Maddie perked up. "What was the nickname?" one of them asked, eager to hear what sort of name would make me mad.
So that's how I came to be known as GiGi … and not just to Jon's beautiful girls, but also to our foster children.
I've gone by many names in my life. Paige and GiGi are just two. I'm called Mom, Aunt Paige, and Mrs. Hamilton. There are people who even call me by my first name, Angela. And I answer to them all.
However, if you call me something like Margaret or Allison or Bob, I am not going to respond. You see, I have many names, but those names do not belong to me.
Sometimes people say that it doesn't matter what name you call God, for there are many ways to call upon Him.
God does have many names. He is called Jehovah, Yahweh, Adonai, and the Bread of Life. He is known as the Wonderful Counselor and the Prince of Peace. He is the Great I Am. King of Kings. Lord of Lords. Jesus Christ.
But you can't just call God by any name …for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12).
This is a wonderful story and you wrapped it up very effectively.
What a sweet story… I think it's fun that the kids call you GiGi!
I think it is fun too … and I love being called GiGi so much, that I've already decided it's what my future grandkids can call me.
I love this story!! It's so sweet!!! You are a very blessed woman!!
