DVD of the Week: Bhowani Junction
In the clip above, I discuss "Bhowani Junction," from 1956—a drama, set in India in 1947, during the country's struggle for independence, starring Ava Gardner as Victoria Jones, a half-Indian, half-British woman who is uneasy about her future in the rising new nation. At a crucial moment in the story, Victoria—who is being courted by a young Sikh man who got her out of a jam—considers converting to the Sikh faith and marrying him, motivated both by gratitude and by the desire to gain an acceptable identity. The film's director, George Cukor, was a gay man whose sexual orientation was something of an open secret in Hollywood, yet nonetheless a secret. He knew about maintaining appearances and placating benefactors, and he invests the scene of Victoria's conversion (which we've included in this clip) with an extraordinary, nearly mind-bending intensity.
Cukor is not usually considered to be an action director or a political filmmaker; he is most famous for what are called "women's pictures," including the 1939 film "The Women," with its entirely female cast. Yet Cukor, a supreme visual stylist, was as much at home with a grand tableau as with an intimate one (and the film that preceded this one in his filmography, "A Star Is Born," is remarkable as both). In making "Bhowani Junction," he joined a lucid intellectual view of the story's multiple lines of conflict (and it suffices to read any substantial interview with Cukor to get a sense of his wide-ranging intelligence) with a distinctive visual—and thereby emotional—analysis of the vast physical and social forces it brings together.
Here's Patrick McGilligan, from his biography of Cukor:
In India, Cukor seemed to luxuriate in the logistically complicated crowd scenes, narrowing in on faces and descriptive details. The street riots of Bhowani involved thousands of people running rampant through the streets, and took several days to shoot—"really spectacular footage that impressed them in Hollywood," according to [the screenwriter] Ivan Moffat.
But, Moffat added,
"Even in the middle of the making of a film, something would occur on the set—perhaps the way a curtain was blowing, or the unexpected combination in the pattern of some dress—it sort of pleased him and seemed to give him pause. As it were, for the moment, the rest would be forgotten by whatever forced his attention at the time.
"He would emphasize that and go after it—it probably looked very nice in the rushes. I even thought, occasionally—it's a purely subjective view based on 'Bhowani Junction'—that he was sometimes sort of seduced away from the essential story line itself into a lovely picturesque irrelevancy."
That's why Moffat was a screenwriter, not a director; what seemed to him irrelevant was what made the film no mere depiction of story but also an experience—an experience for a viewer, and one that is based on the experience that the director himself had in the course of shooting the scene. Cukor's personal sense of what it was like to be in the thick of the action sometimes converged with that of the film's characters and sometimes stood outside it critically, and the wealth of external details he grasped in the maelstrom conjured the nuances of their inner life as well as a varied range of perspectives on the action. His virtual presence as the film's animating conscience, arising from his own involvement with its ideas and its material, is the defining quality of a great director.
P.S. Soon after making "Bhowani Junction," Cukor directed a play, which, he told Peter Bogdanovich (in the indispensable collection of interviews "Who the Devil Made It") was "a disaster":
I'd just done a picture in India where I would say, "Well, yes, run those four railroads through and then we'll have five thousand people and they'll riot." Now I'm back working for the theatre and they said, "Listen, that tray—they want sixty dollars and we are only going to pay fifty." And it depressed me thoroughly.

Only 3 months after rebranding the solution to "Acterys" we are very proud to announce the latest June update to Acterys. And it is a big one as you will see. From this point forward, we are also aiming to match the monthly release cycles that the amazing Power BI Team delivers with their solution, a key front end component of Acterys. Changes in the web-based services will be automatically available for all user and we are also aiming to launch auto-update for to the other components Excel Add-in and Power BI custom visuals in the near future so no need for users to run install processes.
A key component of enterprise planning are calculation logic and workflows. With the latest update we are now including proven templates for a variety of financial planning/budgeting scenarios the Acterys Apps.
Theses Apps are based on the native Acterys features alongside Microsoft PowerApps and Microsoft Flow. Reflecting the Acterys philosophy to not re-invent the wheel but make use of proven components already part of Microsoft Office, respectively the Microsoft ecosystem. Apart from reduced cost, this also avoids the need to train for, pay expensive application vendor consultants and maintain proprietary, separate applications for these areas that are never as comprehensive and take much more effort to integrate into daily operational processes.
One of the most important and most comprehensive new Acterys Apps is covering the logic for planning human resources. Users can -supported by comprehensive search functionality- easily maintain all relevant changes and parameters (e.g. oncosts like: 401k, superannuation, payroll tax etc.) for existing employees or plan new hires and roles.
The Acterys CAPEX App handles capital expenditure planning. Users can easily add CAPEX items with all relevant parameters and the app automatically calculates depreciation and links General Ledger finance items and Cash Flow to reflect changes.
The Acterys Financing App enables the users to manage debt items like loans and bonds. It captures the relevant details, calculates interest and repayments and includes the logic to properly reflect General Ledger finance items and Cash Flow.
These Apps at the moment cover the basic logic but can easily be extended and configured as required. They will be improved on an ongoing basis and we are also inviting partners to work together on additional apps that cover specific application logic or industry solutions. Please contact us at apps@acterys.com for further details.
The Acterys Modeller is now featuring a much sexier look and includes a new notification area where tenant specific and general Acterys notifications will be displayed. It also includes the new Connectors and improved admin options for managing users and changes under the hood that help business users to work faster and easier with their models.
The new release now includes three Acterys Connectors to completely automate the process of generating Acterys models respectively a financial star schema data warehouse based on (Azure) SQL. The new connectors allow the users to create models with a click for Xero, QuickBooks and ABC Financials.
The Acterys June release now also completely automates the maintenance of SSAS Tabular models. Any change in the Acterys model will not just update the SQL model but also the configured (Azure) SSAS Tabular instance. This means that Acterys users can use the full power of SSAS, like central server-based calculations in DAX with all Acterys write back features available directly from their Analysis Services Tabular cube in Excel or Power BI. All this is taking into account detailed "write"(!) rights for SSAS Tabular cubes on the cell level (any DAX rule!) maintained in the Acterys Admin.
As always please feel free to contact us for further details.

I remember reading years ago about how, as you approach the Sahara Desert, the whole horizon is occupied by what seems to be a never-ending range of mountains which loom out of the ground in all their burnt amber glory. Ever since reading about them, I have dreamt about the dunes of orange sand that are tall enough to reach the sky and stars. I've imagined the long-limbed, lumbering camels that carry their masters for miles upon miles, their steady, swaying strides never faltering. For me, this encapsulated the ultimate adventure: the hardship of the intense sun and persistent sand, combined with the beauty of the inhospitable desert and the exhilaration of travelling high on the back of such a foreign four-legged animal. Finally, after years of impatiently flicking through photos and reading accounts of camel treks in the Sahara, it was my turn.

2019 Offseason
Miller is the type of defender the Sabres should explore in the trade market
If available this summer Colin Miller could be a good addition to the Sabres blue line

The Buffalo Sabres have interesting summer ahead of them with some decisions to make on the blue line. They have eight defensemen under contract for next season if you include Lawrence Pilut, and Jake McCabe makes nine as a restricted free agent. They need to make some improvements to their blue line in the offseason but need to move out some dead weight prior to adding new players.
Marco Scandella is an obvious candidate to see if you can find a suitor to take the final year of his contract and there have been trade rumors around Rasmus Ristolainen since the trade deadline. Although according to Elliotte Friedman in his latest 31 Thoughts indicated the Sabres may be reconsidering that with the Bogosian injury.
If the Sabres find a way to create some space on defense, they could still use help on the right side. Especially if they do end up trading Ristolainen. Without him, that would leave Brandon Montour, Zach Bogosian, Casey Nelson, and Will Borgen as the top four right-shot defenders currently in the organization.
If the Sabres decide to explore the trade market to improve their defense, one of the best options may be Vegas Golden Knights defenseman, Colin Miller. The 26-year-old is a good puck-moving defender, that skates well, and makes an impact at both ends of the ice.
The Knights are in a bit of a cap crunch this summer. According to Cap Friendly, they only have about $600 thousand in cap space if the ceiling moves to $83 for next season. They have a few restricted free agents they need to pay or make decisions on this summer such as William Karlsson, Tomas Nosek, Nikita Gusev, and Malcolm Subban.
They also can use $5.25 million in long-term injured reserve cap space from the David Clarkson contract. Therefore, they do have some flexibility with their salary cap, but not a lot.
Miller carries a $3.88 million cap hit for the next three seasons. Cody Eakin and Miller look like the obvious "cap casualties" for Vegas this summer. William Karlsson is another interesting player they could be forced to move, but we'll save that for another day.
At times Miller has found himself falling out of favor with Vegas head coach Gerrard Gallant. He's a similar player to what they have in Shea Theodore, Nate Schmidt, and former Sabre Brayden McNabb. All of which they've made long-term commitments to.
While Miller has his flaws, he's been one of the most positively impactful defenders in the league over the last few years. In Evolving Hockey's RAPM model he comes in at 11th overall in their rating among defensemen over the last three seasons.
This past season he ranked sixth among all defensemen in on-ice expected goal percentage (57.5%). That was fourth best among all players on the Knights and last season he was the second-best player on Vegas in on-ice xG percentage according to Moneypuck.
His impacts go beyond just his two years with the Golden Knights. He was an important player for the Boston Bruins prior to being selected by Vegas in the expansion draft. Miller was given the opportunity to step into a top-four role with his new club after playing primarily as a bottom pair defender with the Bruins, as the chart below from Micah McCurdy lays out.
The 26-year-old thrived with the increased responsibility and was a key part of the Knights elite ability to drive offense. The Sabres have struggled to create offense and scoring opportunities over the last few years. Miller could fit right in with Rasmus Dahlin and Montour as defensemen that can contribute to puck control, as well as shot generation.
Adding another defenseman that can transition the puck well from defense to offense would fit the apparent goal of Jason Botterill in re-vamping his blue line.
Looking at the playoffs you can see the success teams are having with elite puck movers on their blue line. The Colorado Avalanche have benefited from the addition of Cale Makar and the Carolina Hurricanes are riding their excellent blue line to two victories from the Conference Finals. The Dallas Stars have also had large impacts from Miro Heiskanen and John Klingberg.
Miller could step into the role vacated by Ristolainen, on the right side, if he's moved, and be a more impactful player at 5 on 5 according to the underlying numbers. He also comes in at a cheaper cap hit and his age fits into the timeline for the Sabres. This is the type of savvy move a general manager will make in the offseason that'll fly under the radar to boost their defense and they'll reap the benefits of it.

Q: How can I use a loop in LESS to create specific class names for typography? I want to generate 9 typography classes, each with the following:
font-size: 2rem;
line-height: 1rem;

I'll be using standard typographic multipliers for font sizes and line-height. Instead of hard-coding all of these CSS classes, I was wondering if there was a more elegant way of generating them in a loop using LESS.
I found the following from another thread:
@iterations: 5;
.span-loop (@i) when (@i > 0) {
    .span-@{i} {
        width: ~"@{i}%";
    }
    .span-loop(@i - 1);
}
.span-loop (@iterations);

Which generates:
.span-5 {
  width: 5%;
}
.span-4 {
  width: 4%;
}
.span-3 {
  width: 3%;
}
.span-2 {
  width: 2%;
}
.span-1 {
  width: 1%;
}

This is pretty close, but I'd love for my class names to more "named". How can I use a loop to generate classes for:
.small { }
.caption { }
.body { }
.subheader { }
.title { }
.headline { }

etc...
I'm also not tied to LESS, so if there's a better CSS preprocessor language, then I'm happy to use that instead :)
Thank you!

A: An example from documentation for further modification;)
for more complicated code, it is better to use scss than less
.for(@list, @code) {
  & {
    .loop(@i: 1) when (@i =< length(@list)) {
      @value: extract(@list, @i);
      @code();
      .loop(@i + 1);
    }
    .loop();
  }
}

@elements: small, caption, body, subheader, title, headline;

.for(@elements, {
  @remfont: @i+1;
  @remline: ((@i+1) * 1.5 / 3);
  .@{value} {
    font-size: ~"@{remfont}rem";
    line-height: ~"@{remline}rem";
  }
});

Kwamé Holland (born 1973) is an American rapper and record producer from Queens, New York. Originally starting out as a rapper in the early 1990s, Holland later sought greater success with behind the scenes work as a producer.
3 Discography (as artist)
3.2 Singles
In 1989, aged 16, Kwamé released his debut album, Kwamé the Boy Genius: Featuring a New Beginning, which he also produced with the aid of Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor. The 'A New Beginning' of the title refers to his backing band, which was unusual amongst emcees of the time. The album spawned the singles "The Man We All Know and Love" and "The Rhythm." The accompanying music videos featured a polka-dot motif in the costumes and production design. This was to become Kwamé's trademark and a hip hop fashion trend, as fans of his began wearing polka-dotted clothing.[1][2] In 1990, Kwamé released his second album A Day in the Life: a Pokadelick Adventure, a concept album about a day in the life of a high school student. The album spawned the hit singles "Oneovdabigboiz" and "Ownlee Eue.",[1] the latter of which was a contribution to the new jack swing genre.
In 1992, aged 18, he released his third album, Nastee.[3] This album marked a departure for him, discarding the polka-dots and writing more sexually charged lyrics, in contrast to his previously playful, intellectual persona. The title track was a minor hit but the album quickly fell from the charts.[4] His fourth album, 1994's Incognito failed to chart.[1][4]
In 2000, Kwamé reemerged as a music producer, sometimes working under the name K-1 Million. He has produced for many artists, such as LL Cool J, Mary J. Blige, Keyshia Cole, Missy Elliott, and Christina Aguilera. In 2004, he had a major success as the co-producer (with Eminem) of Lloyd Banks' smash hit song "On Fire."[1] In 2005, he had more success with co-writing and co-producing Tweet's single "Turn da Lights Off and Will Smith's single "Switch".[1] As a producer, Kwamé has sold over 30 million records.
In 2012, Kwamé teamed up with Vin Diesel to help score his web series The Ropes. He also formed the boutique label Make Noise, with signees including Beyond Belief, and released an instrumental album, Break Beat Diaries.
Kwamé has also written scores and original music for film and TV., including Drumline, Step Up 1 & 2, Stomp the Yard, Freedom Writers, The Comebacks, Coach Carter, and Fantastic Four and recently produced Vivian Green's fifth album Vivid. He has also joined the hip hop group the Alumni, alongside Chubb Rock, Dana Dane, Special Ed, and Monie Love.
In 2015, Kwamé formed Make Noise Recordings. Distributed by Caroline / Capitol records, Kwamé signed R&B singer-songwriter Vivian Green. Make Noise released Vivian's 5th album Vivid produced entirely by Kwamé. Also garnered a top 2 R&B hit "Get Right Back To My Baby" & top 15 R&B Hit "Grown Folks Music (Work)" .
In 2016 TV One aired an episode of Unsung featuring Kwamé and unlike any other artist in the shows history, Kwamé scored all the music for his episode.
In 2017 Make Noise released Vivian Green's 6th Album VGVI reaching 38 on Billboards R&B albums chart . The single I don't Know reached top 10 on Billboards adult R&B chart.
In 2018, Make Noise released "Vibes", the second single from VGVI. This reached #12 on Billboards Adult R&B charts
Kwamé is a cousin of Vin Diesel, who danced in some of his early music videos.[5]

The National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) has commented on the Chancellor's plan to extend its pension freedoms to around 5 million people, by allowing current pensioners to sell their annuities on the open market.
"It's clear to see how this fits with this Government's agenda for pensions but what is less clear is how savers will be protected. A full consultation will be essential to ensure a fair and balanced market is created.
"The consultation would need to look at how the buy-back price of an annuity would be calculated so people selling their annuity could be assured of good value; and also consider a prescribed process for introducing buyers and sellers to avoid excess costs, which would inevitably be carried by the consumer. And clearly, if this comes into effect the Pension Wise service would also have to be equipped to provide thorough guidance on this topic.

Wayback Burgers was planning to close its original location on Ogletown Road in Newark, but the health inspectors beat them to it.
On Thursday, inspectors from the division of Public Health issued a cease and desist immediately closing the restaurant, which has been a staple in Newark since 1991.
Andrea Wojcik, a spokeswoman for the Division of Public Health, said the agency inspected the restaurant on Feb. 1 in response to a late January complaint of overflowing dumpster trash. The inspectors returned on Feb. 16 to see if the trash issue was resolved and discovered additional violations, including a leaking hand washing sink with no hot water and food storage equipment that did not have the appropriate cold temperatures, according to a DPH report. Inspectors immediately shut the restaurant down.
"Because of those two violations identified, our staff issued the closure notice there," Wojcik said.
The Ogletown road location will not reopen, said Gillian Plummer, vice president of marketing for Wayback Burgers. She said the restaurant was scheduled to be permanently shuttered some time after a celebration of the location's 26th anniversary on Feb. 26. With DPH closing it earlier than expected, Plummer said Wayback Burgers decided not to reopen it for an extra week and a half.
"We had plans to close it anyway, so either way it was going to be over," she said.
Plummer said Wayback Burgers' restaurants are franchises and that the chain, now headquartered in Chesire, Connecticut, had asked the owner to address the problems, but he had failed to do so. She did not address the specific violations, referring to them only as "mechanical issues."
Some of the employees at the Ogletown restaurant were hired by the owner of the Wayback franchise at 250 S. Main St. in downtown Newark, Plummer said. However, she was unsure exactly how many employees had been hired. The Main Street restaurant is owned by a different owner than the property on Ogletown Road.
The Ogletown restaurant was slated for closure because Wayback Burgers is changing the design of its restaurant and its look had become outdated, according to Plummer. Wayback Burgers is planning to launch its redesign in Newark, but at a brand new location.
"We are coming out this year with a whole new look and feel and we are going to unveil our greater restaurant design in the Newark market," Plummer said. "After 26 years, it was time to close the doors to that restaurant and give rebirth to the brand in the hometown where we originated later this year."
Plummer said the company is scouting sites for the new restaurant.
"We are actively exploring any real estate opportunities that will showcase our rebranded look and feel," she said.
Since the original Wayback Burgers location will not reopen, the owner, who was not identified, will not face penalties for the health code violations. Restaurants closed by the DPH typically don't face fines, only incurring costs when they attempt to fix issues.
"If they are not going to reopen, there is no threat to the public's health," Wojcik said. "If they open in a new location, they will have inspections in that new location. In either case, the public's protected."
Wayback Burgers operates 120 locations in 27 states, including nine in Delaware. The company's nternational markets include Argentina, Brunei and Saudi Arabia with plans to open restaurants in 34 countries in 2017. Nigeria, India and Pakistan are among the new markets targeted by the casual restaurant chain.
In 2016, Wayback Burgers explored the possibility of launching an initial public offering, but did not move forward with the plans. The IPO was to fund Wayback Burgers' expansion into nontraditional venues such as sports stadiums, naval bases and Wal-Marts. Wayback Burgers has already opened locations at Citizens Bank Park and the Wells Fargo Center, two Philadelphia sports stadiums.

Barn A is on a farm whose origins date back to the Civil War. There are miles of trails available to boarders in a parklike setting. It was at one time a top level eventing barn and now it's more of a "mixed bag" of pleasure and dressage riders. The staff provide horses with a high level of personal attention and they closely monitor the 20 horses in their care.
Barn B is a new 40 stall facility, bright and new and clean and well ventilated, with tons of amenities. I love the felt footing in the indoor, the presence of a sprinkler system, and the horse-friendly design of the barns. It's family owned and operated, and the folks there were integral to the success of Riley's rehab. I'm grateful to them and was glad they filled the stall immediately (long wait list).
Barn B is the most upscale facility I've ever boarded at -- but it's a financial stretch for me. Barn A is at my price point, and besides I love it there and trust the staff completely with the care of my horses. Oh, I work there too. Oh, and my trainer will come there.
Harv and Riley: Together at last!
and Riley was calling back -- it was too cute.
It is so wonderful to see both of them at once, and not feel that in visiting one I'm neglecting the other. I'm deliriously happy right now.
I can feel your satisfaction. I've had my horses split up before and it's really stressful. The last time we moved we had 46 horses spread out over 6 places before we got the herd consolidated at our present (and last, I sincerely hope) farm.
That's great news! They both look quite happy in your video clip. Glad to know there's a budding "bromance" for the boys.
Awesome! I had no idea those two were in separate stables (that would be a tough one with the eenie meenie method :oP Even better that they hit it off...you just never know how that one will go until after, and see me give those boys a great big BOO-YEAH!
Do they get turned out together too? I'm very happy for you amnd your boys!!
I would like that but Harv is so bonded with his current buddy Seal, who is also the barn owner's horse. I didn't want to break them up, and even if I did the barn owner would not be happy -- didn't wanna go there.
Riley is going out with a 12 year old Dutch warmblood -- a real sweetie but with a reputation for nudginess. I was just a smidgen worried but they are getting along famously and very compatible.
That's wonderful for you and the horses!
Doesn't it feel strange to have more than one horse and they don't know about each other? Made me feel like I was cheating on one when I was with the others. Odd I know, but that is how I felt. I like my happy herd all together.
Harv did seem to look at me strangely when I was attending exclusively to Riley (when he first came). It wasn't "alarm" exactly but i do think he noted it. I've still been giving the lion's share of attn to Riley, but there is some sort of mathematical equation for treats vs. personal attention. Harv doesn't mind if I focus on Riley, so long as I throw him some treats. He sees it as equal time.
The barn workers/boarders tell me that both of them look for me when I leave the general area by them, and when I return I see two expectant faces in the back window of their stall. They are both just adorable.
Those two faces are so cute! What fun it will be to have them together and already buddies. They are like long-lost brothers.
It's probably best not to have them as turn-out buddies. I don't know why, but when I've had owners insist their 2 horses be TO buddies they seem to get even more buddy-sour than other pairings. Then it's horrible for everyone when one is taken out, or, in other word, the whole time the owner is at the barn.
Oh they look so happy together! And what a great feeling it must be for you. I really hope some day I will be able to do the same with my two!!


"ash: 4 cotton, 6 sedges, 12 gal. H2o", is in a group show opening this week at tart, in the emerson cultural center. the shows's theme is "invasive paper" - using paper made from invasive plant species found in montana and classified as "noxious weeds". through my frustrations with trying to work on the very fibrous and dark handmade paper, i began burning it. in turn i used the ashes in this new encaustic piece for the grey and black pigments.

Biographer Timothy O'Brien knows exactly what booted FBI Director James Comey is going through. Like Comey, O'Brien was accused of lying by Donald Trump — and Trump threatened to reveal tapes of the conversations. But the litigious real estate developer eventually admitted in a deposition that he was the one who had misrepresented the truth 30 times — and acknowledged that he had no tapes.
Trump sued O'Brien in 2005 for $5 billion over his book TrumpNation: The Art of Being The Donald. But Trump lost the case, and ended up admitting to a litany of lies at his 2007 deposition.
When Trump finally admitted there were no tapes, O'Brien said his attorney asked him why he had lied. "He essentially said: 'I wanted to intimidate him,'" O'Brien recalled.
"His loose association or relationship with the truth becomes problematic for him when he's confronted with documents that are contrary to things that he's said … on a wide range of issues," O'Brien said. The deposition revealed Trump had misrepresented how much money he got for speaking fees, how briskly his condos were selling, how much money he borrowed from the family estate when he was in financial trouble, and several other points, said O'Brien.
The Washington Post examined Trump's responses in the deposition in a detailed story last year, listing every one of his lies and highlighting some particularly interesting statements. Trump was asked at one point: "Have you ever not been truthful" about your net worth? "My net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with markets and attitudes and with feelings, even my own feelings, but I try," he responded.
"Yes, even my own feelings, as to where the world is going, and that can change rapidly from day to day," Trump answered.
At another point Trump said he estimates the value of his golf properties based on "mental projections," O'Brien recalled.

Porn Viewing Impacts Attitudes on Women in Workplace
New research finds people who watch pornography are less likely to support affirmative action for women.
Tom Jacobs
(PHOTO: DENCG/SHUTTERSTOCK)
Should women receive preferential treatment in the workplace? Newly published research suggests your attitude toward that complicated issue may be shaped, in part, by whether you indulge in a specific leisure-time activity: Watching porn.
Writing in the Psychology of Women Quarterly, Indiana University researchers Paul Wright and Michelle Funk report people who admitted to watching pornography were less likely to support affirmative action for women in a subsequent interview.
"Prior studies have found that pornography viewers are more likely to hold a variety of antisocial attitudes towards women."
That equation held true once a variety of factors that could shape one's view of the issue (including political ideology and religiosity) were removed from the equation. Furthermore, it applied to women as well as men.
"Practically," the researchers write, "these results suggest that pornography may be a social influence that undermines support for affirmative action programs for women."
Wright and Funk used data from the General Social Survey, an ongoing look at behaviors, attitudes, and trends. Specifically, they looked at answers given by the 200 members of a GSS panel, who answered series of questions in 2006, 2008, and 2010.
At the 2008 sessions, nearly 24 percent of the men and 13 percent of the women said they had watched a pornographic film during the previous year. Two years later, as part of a follow-up session, the same people were asked, "Are you for or against preferential hiring and promotion of women?"
The results: "Prior pornographic viewing predicted subsequent opposition to affirmative action for women." While women in the study (like those in previous research) were more supportive of such programs than men, they, too, were less likely to express approval if they had watched porn.
According to the researchers, this suggests "sexual media activate abstract social scripts, which may then be used to inform opinions about social issues"—particularly issues dealing with gender equality.
But why would watching Debbie Does Dallas dampen support for hiring Heidi, or promoting Paula?
"Pornography often presents women as sexual objects deserving of degradation, and even aggression," the researchers write. "In alignment with these depictions, prior studies have found that pornography viewers are more likely to hold a variety of antisocial attitudes towards women."
Obviously, someone who thinks of women in broadly negative terms—or sees them primarily as sex objects—is unlikely to support policies designed to facilitate their success in the work world.
Wright and Funk note that there are pornography producers who create egalitarian fare. They add that they don't support censorship of pornographic material. Rather, they write, the public needs to be educated about how women are depicted in most pornography, and the possible real-world effects of these depictions.
Their hope is that "increased public awareness of the misogyny in pornography and its antisocial effects will lead to social condemnation, stigmatization, and ultimately reduced production and consumption of such fare."

Mike…I agree with the many who are thankful for the video instruction. I have my first set of hand gravers, and the least expensive of all I can start with. Watching the video is an encouragement and inspirational as I practice. By the way, I am an Evansville native and brother in law of Lance Embry, whom I know you know and have worked with.

Actors Slash has invited International actors to showcase their work in both Film & Theater Festivals as well as at the CCCM (Mexican Center of Cultural & Cinematic Arts) located in the Mexican Consulate of Mexico in Los Angeles who has been a huge supported to Culture, Art & Entertainment and welcomes anyone regardless their nationality.
Founded in 2017, Actors Slash was created by Mexican actress & producer Vange Tapia who believes in inclusion & diversity connecting and bringing together actors and filmmakers who produce their own content and have something to offer to the entertainment Industry.
The idea of Actors Slash started way back, as Vange was traveling all over the USA while promoting this amazing country, The USA, as part of her work as an on-camera host/writer for the travel channel online for the US travel bureau "Visit the USA" (Formerly Discover America).
Driving, flying, cruising among other actors/presenters from different parts of the world discovering the hidden treasures the US has to offer, the hosts would be asked to write their own scripts and articles about their trips. They would often assist with the production and or camera men and during their free time they even came up with filming short films or videos just for fun. They were Actors Slash Producers / Slash Presenters / Slash Writers. They were "Actors Slash", Actors Creating Opportunities.

Q: Writing an ActiveX Control in .NET plz check this tutorial
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/dsandor/ActiveXInNet11102005040748AM/ActiveXInNet.aspx
how i use usercontrol in my asp.net website.
I am add reference in my asp.net website and use the  tag but i can not able to see that control

A: If i understand correctly.... a UserControl is a base class i.e. you must inherit from that to create your own implementations (or concrete types).
Once you've done that you're off and away!
EDIT: maybe another issue you're having is that you don't have a reference to System.Windows.Forms.dll in your project and you can't create your own UserControl implementation... not sure as the question is a little vague  :(
EDIT 2: Ok, thinking about this further (and given your confusion still :) I think you might be needing something else... not ActiveX controls as the article you link to relates. I think you actually are interested in this and possibly this
User controls in ASP.NET and ActiveX controls are very very different (nothing alike in fact!)
I hope this helps shed some more light!

A: The tutorial you link to is from 2003, and a lot has changed in the meantime in terms of embedding controls and security issues.
As far as I know (related to IE8), an ActiveX has to implement IObjectSafety, and needs to be signed or the website needs to be trusted to execute it.

Apprenticeships at One Manchester
Updated on 18 / 07 / 17 at 09:50 am
Whatever your age, gender or interest, One Manchester could have a life-changing apprenticeship to suit your needs.
We are committed to employing at least 10 apprentices at any one time across a range of trades and occupations including IT, surveying, electrical, plumbing, gas and plastering.
Vacancies come up throughout the year and we will be recruiting very soon so check our vacancies page regularly: www.onemanchester.co.uk/careers
You can also keep updated on any new vacancies by following us on Twitter or Linkedin.
And if you're still not completely sure, consider the following views from some of those who have completed our apprentice scheme and now work in various roles within One Manchester's operational services:
Jay-Anne McCabe:
Jay-Anne began her two-year apprenticeship with the Grounds Maintenance Team in September 2014 and has just completed her NVQ Level 2 in Horticulture, six months ahead of schedule. In that time Jay-Anne has achieved her spraying and Japanese Knotweed licenses and will soon be working on her chainsaw license and driving license so that she can drive the work van. She's amazed by how much she's learned about so many different aspects of the job in a short period of time and takes real pride in her work.
Jay Anne said: "This apprenticeship has given me a different opportunity and an insight into the variety this line of work offers. You get loads of support and are given responsibility so your confidence increases. Before I started working here I would just have seen a patch of grass but now I look around and see what a difference I've made."
Amari Knott:
Amari Knott's life could easily have headed in a different direction had he not joined One Manchester as an electrical apprentice in 2012. The 21-year-old, from Hulme, overcame lots of challenges in life but his commitment and determination to do something positive has paid dividends as he continues to grow in his role as a full-time electrician.
Amari said: "The apprenticeship has definitely helped me grow up. I knew I had to just take the opportunity and run with it. I wanted to prove that if you graft hard enough you can get where you want to go."
Emma Connor:
Emma Connor knew she wanted to be an electrician in her twenties but felt the training opportunities on offer locally seemed to be very male-orientated, so opted for a different career working as a marketing manager for a buying and imports company. Like Jay-Anne, she didn't feel like it was the right fit and so in 2008, aged 30, she made the brave decision to embark on a four-year electrical apprenticeship and is now an electrical supervisor with One Manchester.
Emma said: "It's a great way to start – or change in my case - your career, as you are both employed and training at the same time. Being paid to learn; it's the ideal scenario. I love what I do. Every day there is a new challenge and you get a real sense of accomplishment in being able to fix something and resolve issues for customers."
Daniel Marshall, 24, was a self-employed plumber before starting a joinery apprenticeship with One Manchester which he completed earlier this year. Although it meant taking a pay-cut initially, not an easy decision for anyone to take, Daniel definitely feels it was the right decision. He is now employed by One Manchester as a full-time multi-skills operative, which gives him the chance to use both his plumbing and joinery skills and provides a secure income to support his young family.
Daniel said: "It can be hard at first, especially when you feel like you could be making more money but it's worth it. I always hated being in a classroom but doing an apprenticeship you have the support of the team around you who have already been apprentices showing you the ropes."

MUMBAI: India enterprises have the ability to undertake frugal engineering and must excel, innovate and design to drive its economic growth by 9-10% for the next three decades to create employment driven growth, said Amitabh Kant, secretary, department of industrial policy and promotion, ministry of commerce & industry, Government of India.
He was speaking at the 7th VLFM Learning Convention (Visionary Leaders for Manufacturing) programme held under the auspices of Champions of Societal Manufacturing organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
Calling the apex technology and management institutes in the country to document their innovations by patenting them, Kant said that 22% of the patents filed from India are done by Indian companies while 78% were done by multinational companies operating from India.
Frugal engineering will help Indian enterprises to drive economic growth by 9 - 10% for the next three decades, and thus create employment driven growth.
"Over the last 60 years, we have made India a difficult place to do business. We have simply created an economy of controls," Kant said.
But, jobs cannot be created in services, as much as they can be through manufacturing. Hence, there are huge perils of non industrialisation for population of the size of India and it will have serious consequences, if manufacturing is not initiated, Kant said.
Speaking at the ceremony, Prof Shoji Shiba, Chief Advisor , Champions for Societal Manufacturing, said that the biggest obstacle for future transformation is mindset change.

Should You Reward Your Kids with Food?
Now this one goes out to all the parents out there.
I have been reading a lot of advice telling us that we should never use food as a reward for kids, or to distract them from difficult feelings.
Now, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I think that that's ridiculous.
I mean food as a reward, food as a distraction, it works. Why does it work? Because food can be extremely pleasurable.
Anybody who's spent a long time around kids will know that a little bit of chocolate can go a long way to keeping Johnny quiet in the back seat and to ease the stress of a flu jab. From the very first moment we come into the world our cries of hunger are responded to by our primary caregiver in the form of cuddles and milk. That milk relieves our pain, our hunger and immediately becomes associated with cuddles and with embraces. So it's perfectly natural, it's primitive, that food become associated with expressions of love and care. And this can most certainly be leveraged by parents to get our kids to do what we want and to help ease the pain of difficult things in life.
Now, by no means, should food be the only way you reward or distract your children.
Food should not be the go-to any time you want to treat them or distract them from difficult feelings. Because if food becomes the only way in which you can express love and care then your children run the risk of becoming one trick ponies of only knowing one way in which to treat themselves or to calm themselves.
And it's then that they run the risk of developing unhealthy relationships with food.
So how can you find that balance? What can you do?
Well, you just have to teach your children a variety of ways of self-soothing and rewarding themselves. These lessons are among the most important for adult psychological health.
So it's really worth taking some time to think about how you do this with yourself and with your family. I mean along with ice cream and lollies, what do you do to self-soothe? What do you do to reward yourself?
I mean with regards to rewards and treats never underestimate the power of a good cuddle or a good talk. You can also take them to a movie. Buy them a book. Buy them a comic, or that coveted video game. All of these things are really effective rewards.
As for self-soothing, kids need to learn that painful feelings need not be dangerous. And that with time they will pass through us. Breathing. Counting to ten. Playing an instrument. Taking a bath. And of course, talking it through with them. Connecting and cuddling. These are all beautiful ways of calming down.
And it's our job, as parents, to impart these skills to our kids so they can grow into healthy adults.
So, is it okay to reward or distract your kids with food?
Yes, it is, but not all the time. Teach your kids a variety of ways of rewarding themselves and soothing themselves so that you can send them out into the world armed not only with a hammer, but a toolbox of ways to manage whatever life throws them.
If you think you or your child has an unhealthy relationship with food and you would like some help, then please click here to contact us today for more information.

Learn the Design Science of Permaculture
The Permaculture Design Course teaches how we can utilize today's tools and technology to shape a more sustainable and equitable world for all species. Permaculture is more than just planting a garden. It is a sustainable design approach that is applicable to all human activities.
Permaculture covers all aspects of human life. It is grounded in practical real world design and extends into the complex realm of sustainable social design. It extends further into the invisible design of organizing energy exchange between people and communities. The PDC empowers, informs and trains people to be effective designers and agents of active change in their homes and communities. The PDC endeavors to teach teachers, in order to spread and localize this important information. The permaculture community is unified by the common ethic of earth care, people care and return of surplus.
In this way we actively change the world one garden at a time.
What do you get when you purchase access to the PDC Library?

Permaculture Design Course Instructors
Paul Wheaton, the bad boy of Permaculture, was proclaimed by Geoff Lawton in 2012 the Duke of Permaculture. He is the creator of two on-line communities. One is about Permaculture, permies.com, and one is about software engineering, CodeRanch.com.
He is a powerful advocate of Sepp Holzer's techniques, which a recent study showed to have the ability to feed 21 billion people without the use of petroleum or irrigation. He also promotes the use of hugelkultur, which sequesters carbon and eliminates the need for irrigation, and polycultures, which reduces the need for pest control and improves the health of plants. He wrote several articles about lawn care, raising chickens, cast iron, and diatomaceous earth. Paul regularly uploads permaculture videos and permaculture podcasts.
In 2008 Jack Spirko founded The Survival Podcast where he coined the term modern survivalism, a philosophy based on 12 tenets that lead to self-sufficiency, self-reliance, independence and personal liberty. From the very beginning he taught that producing your own food and supporting local agriculture were critical to insuring your personal independence. During the countless hours of research that went into the production of his daily podcast he discovered the threat represented by industrial agriculture and GMOs.
Mr. Spirko has now been a student, practitioner and teacher of Permaculture Design and sustainable agriculture for 4 years. In 2011 he founded a new organization AgriTrue, dedicated to restoring "truth in agriculture" and restoring the relationship between those who grow food and those who produce it. AgriTrue is in some ways an alternative to the organic label, a free market solution that ensures care of the earth along with care of people without government interference.
Today Mr. Spirko is actively engaged in spreading the message of permaculture to his audience of more than 80,000+ daily listeners. He has had the good fortune to interview well known permaculturists and sustainable food advocates such as as Geoff Lawton, Ben Falk, Paul Wheaton, Bill Wilson, Robb Wolf and Joel Saliten on his show.
He currently lives in North Texas on a rugged 3 acre piece of land where he is practicing techniques such as swales, hugelkultur, raising small livestock and other permaculture design components.
Tim has come a long way since his days as a diesel fitter mechanic, and now spends his time between Australia and New Zealand (and sometimes the US) as a semi professional pyromaniac and mad scientist teaching people how to burn stuff and make really cool machines and devices for low carbon living. He currently teaches Appropriate technology for the Koanga institute in New Zealand and Very Edible Gardens (VEG) in Melbourne, to name a few.
He has previously been farm manager for the Permaculture research Institute of Australia, power station operator/mechanic, adventure guide and professional turtle wrestler. His rocket stove and char making powered hot water systems, ovens and cookers reflect his passion for elegant simple and durable combustion technologies. Other projects include gravity powered water pumps, solar thermal cookers and dryers, pedal powered washing machines, cargo bikes, hovercraft, wooden boats and aquaponics, to name a few. When he is not tinkering he can be found on Macleay Island off the coast of Queensland Australia, where he and his family live and are currently in the process of building a rammed earth house (with maybe a little sailing thrown in).
He is particularly well known for his safe and effective rocket hot water heating system.He brings practical, hands on experience with some truly fascinating projects to the table - this from the Koanga institute:
"He has the practical knowledge and skills to construct almost any project with limited resources."
Thomas J. Elpel is an author, natural builder, educator, and conservationist. He has authored multiple books: Foraging the Mountain West, Botany in a Day, Shanleya's Quest and numerous others about plant identification, wilderness survival, and sustainable living. He has multiple videos: Building a Slipform Stone House from the Bottom Up, How to Make a Grass Rope, Build Your own Masonry Fireplace - Masonry Heater - Masonry Stove, and many more. Thomas regularly teaches classes on plant identification, primitive skills and natural building. He is founder/director of Green University, LLC in Pony, Montana.
Helen has an MS in Horticulture and Agricultural Ecology from Rutgers University; worked at Rutgers in tree fruit IPM; studied natural farming with Masanobu Fukoka; interned at The Land Institute in Kansas; taught a Master Gardener course in Montana for 15 years while she was Missoula County extension agent; owned and operated Biodesign organic vegetable farm in Montana (1993-2010); consulted for a 2000 acre organic vegetable farm (2011); helped run her husband's Woodleaf Farm organic orchard in northern California 2012-2015; worked for Oregon State University Horticulture Department; and is now farming a 211 acre farm in eastern Oregon with her husband, where they have a mixed fruit and hazelnut orchard, small grain and dry bean production, vegetable gardens, high tunnels, and greenhouse.
Ernie is a botanist, educator, writer, researcher, rocket mass heater innovator, natural builder, and boat aficionado. He served in the merchant marine, Navy, and fisheries, and has tremendous experience with hydraulic and hot water systems. His family's sea time stretches back "since Noah was a babe," all over the 2/3 of our planet from which quitters can't walk home. Ernie is semi-retired due to a disabling injury, but still makes time for the occasional workshop or fascinating prototype project. He co-authored multiple books with his wife, Erica, and he is featured in many videos, documentaries and podcasts. Ernie is a wealth of knowledge; there are not many topics on which he does not have an opinion.
Erica is a science and art educator, curriculum developer, writer, illustrator, researcher, and rocket mass heater innovator. She loves making things from scratch - anything from blueberry scones to the oven itself. Erica is a skilled educator and project coordinator, with over 20 years of experience building teamwork and leading hands-on learning. Her and Ernie have taught numerous workshops on natural building and rocket mass heaters. Erica has written multiple books on rocket mass heaters, fire making, and survival shelters. She is featured in many videos, documentaries, and podcasts on rocket mass heaters.
Jacqueline is a biodynamic farmer, author, and natural beekeeper. She is known for her gentle and understanding ways with bees. She appears in the honeybee documentary, Queen of the Sun and was hired by the USDA to work with rural farmers and beekeepers in the Dominican Republic, using historic methods of respectful beekeeping. She lives on a farm in Washington state with her husband, Joseph, where they have orchards, gardens, two big greenhouses, a small forest, rich pastures and plenty of flowering bee forage. Jacqueline also has lots of experience raising livestock: cows, goats, chickens for laying and broilers, turkeys, and horses. She has two websites: SpiritBee.com and friendlyhaven.com.
Protégé of legendary Austrian farmer, Sepp Holzer, Zach is the first person to earn Holzer Practitioner Certification outside of the Krameterhof training program. Blending a unique combination of systems thinking, empathy, and awareness, Zach uses an action-oriented process to improve human relationships with earth. Enhancing ecosystems and harvesting natural productivity over time is the ultimate goal - with high initial input, high yield systems that will last until the next ice age.
Zach currently has projects in 11 nations on 4 continents, spanning a wide range of climates, contexts, land-forms and ecosystems. Having experience with a wide range of techniques and systems (from natural building, to greenhouses, to carpentry, to watershed restoration), Zach also graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Ecology. He has two websites elementalecosystems.com and holzerpermaculture.us
Davin is an architect, artist, and entrepreneur. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Architecture and has 16 years of drafting experience. Davin has established two community gardens in Georgetown, Texas and he is the first to map Wheaton Labs. Davin practices architecture as a one-man firm and will soon be a small restaurant chain partner. He is the future illustrator of Paul's book on "Wofatis".

Federal Foreign Office to donate additional 120,000 euro to Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation
18.06.2010 - Press release
Germany is to contribute a further 120,000 euro towards the office costs of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation. This was set out in a formal agreement concluded today (18 June) between Michael H. Gerdts, Germany's ambassador in Warsaw, and Piotr Cywinski, the Director General of the Foundation and Director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial.
Already in 2009 the German Government had contributed 39,300 euro towards the Foundation's office costs. Today's donation from the Federal Foreign Office is intended to help fund the Foundation's office costs in 2010 and is in addition to Germany's planned contribution of 60 million euro.
The Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation was established in Warsaw in early 2009 on the initiative of its current President, State Secretary Władysław Bartoszewski. The Foundation aims to raise 120 million euro in capital assets, with the revenue being used to secure the long-term funding of conservation work at the Memorial. The Federal Foreign Office is the lead ministry for the German Government's work with the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.

Earlier this year, sales of cannabis surpassed alcohol sales in the State of Colorado. (1) Could it be, that cannabis is metamorphosing the drinking culture and creating a culture of its very own? As the first state to fully legalize the green stuff, Colorado is a prime example of how the budding industry can make an impact.
According to researchers from two U.S. universities and one in South America, alcohol sales sunk 15 percent in states that had enacted medical cannabis laws. (2) With that in mind, it's clear that the powerhouse plant is being increasingly accepted as its use becomes more normalized. Although cannabis legalization is encouraging former drinkers to give up the bottle, some consumers may still enjoy a tipple (or two) with a joint.
Take a moment to absorb the following facts on "crossfading" before you absorb the alcohol and spark up that reefa.
A teacher at Harvard Medical School named Scott Lukas is intrigued by the effects caused by mixing weed and alcohol. Lukas and a team of scientists conducted a study on the combined effects of weed and alcohol. (3) They discovered a spike in THC levels among users who smoked cannabis after they drunk alcohol, as opposed to the other way around.
Crossfading or "greening out" is generally classified as feeling nauseous, dizzy and sweaty. The person who is experiencing a crossfade may also exhibit a rather pale complexion. In some instances, overdoing it with cannabis may lead to vomiting. Nevertheless, don't let this put you off. Don't be greedy and remember to stay hydrated before, during and after your smoking session. By doing do, everything should go smoothly.
