K7's 7 Trends for 2015
By K7 Media
ONE: The Art of the Reveal Secrets and surprises are adding 'stickiness' to shows regardless of genre
Keeping something secret and fresh, or tense and unpredictable until just the right moment is the media challenge of our era. Even in pre-recorded shows such as The Apprentice or Bake-Off, TV audiences are increasingly addicted to this form of 'liveness', to unpredictability, to the 'reveal' of memorable real-time moments that cut through the noise. Shows as diverse as Richard III: King in the Car Park and Catfish offer different examples of this, but it is also becoming popular in drama, as shown by the almost complete blackout on advance information regarding the return of this week's Broadchurch. The only way to find out how the story would continue was to watch. Regardless of genre, what all these shows share is what broadcasters right now consider a Holy Grail – the ability to create news and hook viewers right to the end.
TWO: Goodnight to Overnights How can networks judge success in the face of changing viewing habits?
For US networks, the traditional Fall Season bloodbath was surprisingly restrained in 2014, with more shows being treated leniently despite weak ratings. Or, more accurately, seemingly weak ratings. With fewer finished shows waiting to replace axed projects, and with uncertainty regarding the new DVR dominated landscape, many networks opted to let go of the once-reliable same day ratings and saw huge audience increases once time-shifted viewing was taken into account. Hollywood has been left scratching its head over when to judge whether a show is successful, and will likely continue to do so until a new ratings metric that truly reflects audience behaviour is found.
One of the biggest trends to emerge at Mipcom 2014 was the growth of international drama co-productions.
THREE: Money In The Bank Will VOD pre-sales help networks absorb the cost of drama production?
Based on projections by RBC Capital Market, Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime will be godsends to the major studios in the coming years. These three subscription VOD services are projected to spend a collective $6.8 billion on programming in 2015, a sum that can only be a comfort to producers facing an uncertain network market. Most notably, SVOD budgets are being spent on content before it even airs on TV. Warner Brothers Studios and Netflix reached an agreement for Gotham while CBS Productions sold big summer series Extant and Zoo to Amazon Prime. This new model of spending can help put a studio closer to profit before shows have aired for a year, enabling them to take some of the risk out of producing content.
FOUR: International Drama Co-Productions Are international collaborations the new standard for European drama?
One of the biggest trends to emerge at Mipcom 2014 was the growth of international drama co-productions, both in English and local language. eOne Television's hostage drama Ransom comes via Canada's Shaw Media and France's TF1. Haut et Court is working with Britain's Sky Vision and Germany's Tandem on jewel heist series The Last Panthers, and also partners with Tandem and Israeli July-August Productions on the eco thriller Rubber Ducks. Tandem has also announced participation in cocaine drama Zero Zero Zero, which comes from France's Canal Plus Création Originale and Italian indie Cattleya.
Meanwhile, Italy's Wildside partners with Sky Italia and Germany's Beta Film for political thriller 1992, and Beta Film also joins X-Filme, ARD, and Sky Deutschland for Tom Tykwer's noir detective series Babylon Berlin. With broadcaster budgets shrinking, particularly in countries with austerity-stricken pubcasters, more and more expensive dramas will be funded in this way.
FIVE: Mega Mergers and Small Start-Ups Will industry consolidation and fragmentation spell the end of mid-sized production?
The turbulence of the global economic situation may be settling down, but the ripples are still being felt. The industry giants continue to expand through mergers and acquisitions, creating formidable vertically integrated TV pipelines. Meanwhile, at the opposite end of the scale, more and more enterprising small indies are being formed by people breaking away from these behemoths. A similar process has actually been ongoing in the games industry for the past few years, with the result that there are now a small number of expensive blockbusters, dozens of tiny independent releases but virtually no product to occupy the mid-tier of the video games market. Different media have different needs, of course, but it's a potential pitfall that should be heeded.
Keeping something secret and fresh, or tense and unpredictable until just the right moment is the media challenge of our era.
SIX: Crime Still Pays Is True Crime the next factual genre to reach critical mass?
True Crime remains one of the most reliable documentary formats, and will no doubt continue to do so. There's a sense, however, that the genre may be about to join topics such as food and property as one robust enough to support not just series and programming strands, but entire themed networks. In the US, new cable venture Justice Network is trialling exactly that: wall-to-wall true crime shows, punctuated with localised police alerts and appeals. These are early days, but given the public's appetite for the content, and the willingness of modern viewers to binge watch across multiple platforms, we suspect this is a trend that could easily grow.
SEVEN: Digital Video comes of age The rise of bespoke media outlets that are entirely digital
TV advertising spend was down in 2014, as brands diverted increasing portions of their budgets towards digital where campaigns can be more precisely targeted and react to audience behaviour, unlike the inefficient scattershot cost of buying prime time slots on TV. Quite apart from the well-documented ascent of Netflix, Hulu and other VOD platforms, we are seeing the rise of bespoke media outlets that are entirely digital in both their product and outlook. Vice is the obvious success story in this regard, but even traditional media companies such as Conde Nast and once-moribund online giants such as AOL have gained fresh traction by developing and delivering quality online programming that exists and thrives outside of the broadcast ecosystem.

Prévalence des infections à Salmonella spp. chez les bovins et les équins de l'Hôpital vétérinaire d'enseignement de la Faculté de médecine vétérinaire de l'Université de Montréal
: Prevalence of Salmonella spp. infections in cattle and horses from the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Montréal
Bérangère Ravary, Gilles Fecteau, Robert Higgins, Julie Paré, Jean Pierre Lavoie
Bacteriologic detection of Salmonella spp. from feces of animals admitted to Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Montréal, in Saint-Hyacinthe was carried out during a 1-year period to estimate the prevalence of bovine and equine salmonellosis. Prevalence at the time of hospitalization was quite low: 1.4% in cattle and 1.7% in horses. Incidence was 15.1 cases/100 animal/year in cattle and 38.7 cases/100 animal/year in horses. Serotype typhimurium was the most prevalent in both species. In cattle, cases were evenly distributed over the year. In horses, a recrudescence of cases and a obviousness of transmission were apparent in April 1996.

My deepest inspiration stems from the ability of today's entrepreneurs to inspire community and conversation that improves people's lives. As the co-host and producer of 33founders, it is my principal goal to highlight entrepreneurs' courage by profiling their business, their journeys, and following their success. I firmly believe that every conversation is a mutual learning experience and the advice we receive from our founders and thought leaders is the driving force behind my work. My highest intent is to make 33voices the primary platform to showcase founders, expose people to their work, and spark a dialogue about how we can grow together.


This week we said farewell to elementary school and the end of grade seven for Colin. He has a great grade seven year. Colin has been at the same elementary school for eight years and has a large group of friends, many of which started in kindergarten with him. The parents and staff at the school worked together to create a series of events to celebrate the students' transition from elementary school to high school. Not all the students at the school move on to the same high school so it is a final chance for them to all celebrate their experiences and memories of elementary school together. For the families, who come together as a community in elementary school much more so than in high school, it is a chance to say show appreciation to the staff and to each other and really see that it does take a village!
Wednesday we started with a luncheon and afternoon dance with a DJ which the students worked hard all year to fundraise for. The students chose "a night on the Titanic" theme to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's sailing. I think some of the girls see it as romantic and not necessarily the disaster that it was! One of the students, and the school prinicipal actually work a PFD to the luncheone! The parents focused on more of a bon voyage theme as the students sailed off to high school.
The grade sevens wanted pizza and sushi along with Colin's punch and chocolate fountain and some special icecream sandwiches for lunch. They then danced for over two hours with no parents in the gym (just school staff)!
We came back to the school in the evening over 200 people attending an evening celebration hosted by the parents. There were speeches by the principal and teachers, each student announced, lots of dessert, lots of photos taken, visits by the students' very first principal, a slide show that showed the students at school from kindergarten to grade 7 and then the grade 7 slide show created by a group of students. This slide show is always such a highlight as it shows a baby picture for each child, another childhood picture and then a grade seven picture. Each child lists his or her best memories of the school, what they want to be when they grow up and words of wisdom.
Thursday morning was the most formal of the events and the official farewell assembly at the school. Neil and Adam and I had front row seats and watched Colin walk across the gym and receive his graduating certificate. Colin's teacher is retiring this year so this was a bit of an emotional day for her - the last grade seven class she is sending off into the world!
I'm going to miss being a part of this school community - we've been connected for ten years!
We are so very proud of Colin. At elementary school he has made good friends, has been able to express himself in many ways, has learned so much about himself and how to navigate the world.
Colin - congratulations on this milestone and bon voyage!
Congratulations to Colin and the whole family.....big steps for all.

Since the beginning of the clothing male, modern, people become the casual clothing, the formal standard. The clothes of the end of the week will be the standard in work, sports attire and work clothes are incorporated into the day-to-day, and who dressed in the field, it also started to be accepted in the city. This last, is probably one of the major changes in the apparel men's classic. It was the end of the costumes really formal acceptance of the countryside, and the casual, in the city.
No other clothing (perhaps the wool tweed) reminds me more of the interior of England as a boot brogue. And the Trickers of Northampton, is the factory that comes to my head when I think of a good brogue. A pair of boots Tricker's , a rifle, a fall day in the field, and you have your tickets guaranteed. These boots have survived the test of time, as well as the brand of 1829.
The brogues are a great example of a traditional style adapted to the way modern dress, and the Tricker's evolved without leaving behind what made it such a great product. The most famous stores that sell Trickers are not shoe stores traditional. several places that sell Trickers do not sell a suit of English wool cold with visual professional, and show the shoes always combined with casual wear, in the way that a running shoes would be used, for example.
To see that the Tricker's continues to make the classic models with the tough construction in English. Vibram soles and crepe, which can not be sewn completely with the machines of the process of goodyear welting traditional, glued to a thinner sole, which is stitched to the welt and the leather. Already the soles of rubber dainite and tratoradas, are sewn together usually in the process goodyear, and the viras high "storm welt" keeps the boots impermeábilizadas in any storm. This is a detail that I like in the products of them.
There are two types of brogue: the originals, that they were casual shoes, the countryside, and the formal, that came later in the form of decorations to oxford shoes more fine and elegant. I like the brogues casual that has a format that corresponds to the style of the shoe. There is nothing delicate in these shoes and boots from Trickers: The details are prying: the leather sole is double, the turns of wide leather and high-type "storm welt", the cleat pops out of the boot on the sides, and the perforations brogues are so large that they barely fit in the toe cap, all in the way that a brogue classic should be.These were the shoes to kick the mud, not to soften carpets. Are shoes and boots brogues heavy, to resemble a tractor, and they have a leather orange called the "C-Shade" that I have never seen the equal.
That hardness of the shoes attracted the lumberjacks urban today, but unlike some other brands, "heritage", which resist change, the Trickers also went on to produce their classic models by using colors and materials that would never be on the feet of a highlander of the scottish past decades. If you will drive a tractor through the city, why not decorate it like a float? Has red boots, green, blue, chamois, combined with shoe soles varied, as vibram, tratorado and rubber dainite; these are a few.

How Can Therapy Help Someone With Substance Use or Addiction?
By Lauren Presutti
People struggling with substance use or addiction sometimes think the only way to recover is to detox in a rehab facility or to completely abstain from substances altogether. Stories about how others have recovered, family pressures, or social influences can make you feel like everyone else is telling you what to do. You're probably frustrated and annoyed that people are telling you WHAT to do without actually understanding the complex emotional, psychological, and physiological factors that make recovery extremely hard. We get it. You don't want to be told what to do. You don't want to be judged. You don't want anyone's unsolicited advice on how to stop using substances. Because if it were that easy, you probably wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.
At River Oaks Psychology, we understand how difficult recovery is and we recognize that you may not be ready to make changes in your life. That's okay. We will never pressure someone to do something they are not ready for. We don't tell people what to do. We will never judge you nor make assumptions about your experiences. Perhaps most importantly, we won't ask you to stop using substances. That has to be your decision. Our job is to listen to YOUR goals and then help you achieve them. This might involve learning how to build coping skills, process emotions, strengthen relationships, heal from trauma, discover personal strengths, boost your capacity for wellness, and enhance your sense of control. This means that therapy can still be helpful for you even if you have no immediate plans to stop using substances. We'll talk about the role that substances play in your life, how you are coping currently, where you have been, and where you might want to go moving forward.
In other cases, we help people maintain their sobriety and avoid relapsing. The chronic nature of addiction means that a large percentage of people will relapse at some point during their lives. Do you have a strong understanding of what your triggers are? What are some warning signs that relationships may be negatively influencing you? How are you managing your trauma responses? Do you have a relapse prevention plan in place? Your life will continue to evolve and unfold in all different ways, with each chapter presenting new obstacles and new challenges in which temptations may resurface. Willpower can be a good thing, but preventing relapse requires more than just the willpower to say "no" when temptations surface. Working with a therapist will help you stay on track and propel you forward toward greater self-improvement in all areas of your life.
It's also important to remember that nobody simply decides to have substance use problems. This was not your choice to be struggling with these behaviors and habits. There are likely many reasons why you fell into substance use in the first place, whether it was trauma, abuse, family conflicts, stress, peer pressures, or an event that triggered a turn towards a specific substance, including physical injuries that involved prescription medications. Therapy can help you address those issues and examine the underlying emotions that led you to use substances. Even more importantly, therapy can help you remove any sense of self-blame or guilt that you may be harboring. You deserve to forgive yourself. It's time to allow yourself to get better.
Even if you're not ready to pursue sobriety, it's so important to check in with a trusted professional to talk about your overall mental health. Remember, we don't judge people and we won't lecture you. Having a safe space to be authentic can be particularly beneficial for those struggling with substance use because there is a lot of addiction-related stigmas in the world. It must be very painful if you have ever experienced social judgment for your substance use. You won't experience that with us. We'll compassionately listen to your story and empathize with what you've gone through. We're on your side.

Does the lotus fruit image above make your skin crawl?
Up to 16% of people (18% of females and 11% of males) become viscerally upset after looking at images of clustered holes, according to the first ever study on the condition known as trypophobia. These clusters of holes are common in nature, also including honeycombs and clusters of soap bubbles.
One sufferer reports: "[I] can't really face small, irregularly or asymmetrically placed holes, they make me like, throw up in my mouth, cry a little bit, and shake all over, deeply."
It turns out this strange revulsion could be rooted in biology, according to the study by researchers Geoff Cole and Arnold Wilkins, of the University of Essex, in the journal Psychological Science.
Honey comb is full of holes.
"There may be an ancient evolutionary part of the brain telling people that they are looking at a poisonous animal," Cole said in a press release. The disgust we feel is an evolutionary advantage, even if we don't know it consciously, because it sends people with trypophobia running as far as possible from the holey thing.
To identify this effect, the researchers analyzed images found on trypophobia websites and images of holes that don't trigger trypophobia, looking for differences.
The incredibly poisonous Greater blue-ringed octopus, which sparked the Eureka moment.
Then, when one of the patients they interviewed mentioned that they also had a fear of the pattern on the poisonous blue-ringed octopus they had what Cole calls a "bit of a Eureka moment."
They collected 10 images of the top 10 poisonous species to run by their trypophobia patients. The species they selected were: the blue-ringed octopus, the box jellyfish, the Brazilian wandering spider, the deathstalker scorpion, the inland taipan snake, the king cobra snake, the marbled cone snail, the poison dart frog, the puffer fish, and the stonefish.
Any of them give you the willies? The researchers found that these poisonous species sometimes have similar, creep-inducing patterns that revolt trypophobes.
"We think that everyone has trypophobic tendencies even though they may not be aware of it," says Cole. "We found that people who don't have the phobia still rate trypophobic images as less comfortable to look at than other images."
Now, trypophobes, go rub your skin with sandpaper.

The M1 iMac is brilliant — but it's missing one key feature
By Ian Morris
Touch ID is great, but imagine unlocking the iMac with your face
Apple's new iMac is one of the most exciting products this year. While some have bemoaned its "chin" the general look of these machines has certainly struck the perfect note with the intended audiences. These machines look fun and will appeal to families who need a computer but want something with a bit of style.
But there's one omission that Apple has made, and that's the lack of Face ID support on the new iMac. You can use the brand new Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, which is great, but wouldn't it also be fantastic to have the ability to use your face to unlock your Mac? And let's be honest, the hardware on the new iMac is so close to the iPad now it feels like Face ID could be something universal across all Apple products.

Plus: iOS 14.5 is coming — here's when to expect it
This isn't even an out-of-the-blue suggestion, there was code within MacOS Big Sur that suggested Apple's Macs would get some form of Face ID. While it's not been included on the new iMac, it's clear Apple has considered this option — as it considers many different ideas.
There is one clear problem, the camera included on the iMac isn't actually a TrueDepth equipped. On the iPhone and iPad Pro there are several modules involved in using Face ID. The camera is the first, then there's a dot projector which Apple's hardware uses to create a map of your face. There's also a flood illuminator for low-light conditions, ensuring you can unlock your phone in the dark. Clearly, these add both cost and complexity to the camera module.
So given the hardware cost of adding Face ID to Mac, what's the advantage. Mainly it's security, Face ID is more secure than Touch ID, according to Apple's own research (opens in new tab). The chance of someone randomly being able to unlock your device with their fingerprint is 1 in 50,000. Adding more authorised fingerprints also reduces it to one in 10,000 for five stored prints. The chance of a random face being able to unlock your device is one in a million for Face ID. That might not matter much for home users, but Face ID is potentially great for corporate security.
It's most likely that Apple just didn't want to add extra hardware to the design of the iMac. After all, these are clearly designed to look as minimal as possible, with even the Apple logo absent from the front of the device. Adding more cameras would make the top bezel a bit more crowded and less beautiful.
So while it's quite obvious why Apple hasn't used Face ID here, it does seem somewhat like a missed opportunity. For one thing, anyone opting to use a different keyboard, perhaps for accessibility reasons, or just personal preference, will not be able to use the Touch ID either.
It seems likely that we'll see a high-powered pro version of the iMac at some point in the future. Some rumours have suggested that an M1X processor could have 12 cores and be an absolute powerhouse for desktop computing. Perhaps Face ID will be on that machine, if it really does arrive.

Thailand and the United States have been friends for almost two centuries. There are many unique and special elements in our bilateral relations.
First of all, one reason for the strength of the Thai – U.S. relationship stems from the fact that we both go back a long way and have been through a lot together. Our formal relations extend back 182 years to the signing of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between our two nations on March 20, 1833, during the Presidency of Andrew Jackson, the seventh United States President, and the reign of His Majesty King Phra Nang Klao, or King Rama III of the Chakri Dynasty. With the signing of such Treaty, the two countries pledged to establish "a perpetual peace" between each other, a vow that has certainly withstood the test of time. We, in Thailand, recall with gratification that this Treaty was the first such Treaty that the United States had concluded with any Asian country.
His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej Maharaj, our present King, was born some 80 years ago in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where his father, His Royal Highness Prince Mahidol, was studying medicine at the Harvard Medical School. Since his accession to the throne over 60 years ago, His Majesty the King has paid two visits to the United States — first in 1960, and again in 1967.
President and Mrs. Clinton visited Thailand in November of 1996 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of His Majesty's accession to the throne. This marked the first visit by a sitting U.S. President since the visit of President Nixon 27 years earlier in 1969.
In the October of 2003, President George W. Bush visited Bangkok to attend the APEC Summit Meeting. President Bush returned again in August of 2008, when he attended a meeting with Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej.
Onhisfirst trip abroad after his re-election, President Barack Obama visited Bangkok from November 14-15, 2012. President Obama was welcomed by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and had an audience with King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The Congressional Friends of Thailand Caucus (FoTC) was established on September 24, 2009 and has since been co-chaired by congressmen from both the Democrat and Republican parties, and also has had membership from both sides of the aisle. The objectives of the Caucus are to provide a forum for an exchange of ideas on the Thai – U.S. relationship, as well as strengthening America's long-term partnership with Thailand so that we can better meet our common challenges and future opportunities in the region.
The Caucus currently consists of 22 members from the U.S. House of Representatives.
In 2002, the Thai Parliament also established "Thailand – United States Parliamentarians Friendship Group" to promote the bilateral relationship between Members of the two legislative bodies. Currently, there are 6 members of the Group, comprising of members of the National Legislative Assembly.
The strong and close ties between the United States and Thailand serve as a solid foundation for the United states' overall engagement in Southeast Asia and the Asia – Pacific region at large. Such engagement takes the form not only of bilateral contacts between the U.S. Government and each of the countries in the region, but also takes place through U.S. participation in various regional organizations and fora, such as the ASEAN Post-Ministerial Conference, and the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF).
The ARF, of which Thailand and the United States are among the founding members, is a mechanism that puts a premium on preventive diplomacy to maintain peace and harmony in the region. The United States' constructive involvement in Asia and cooperation with the like-minded Asian countries have contributed to the region's overall foundation of peace and security that the region now enjoys. This had made it possible for these Asian countries to concentrate their energies fully on cooperation for the future growth and prosperity of their peoples.


Frankie Chavez cried the first three times her mother dropped her off at preschool. Frankie was 3, remembers Jessica Chavez of San Gabriel.
"On the fourth day, as we were walking up the steps hand in hand, I could hear her whispering something very intensely. I could hear her saying to herself, 'I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry' over and over again," Chavez said.
Seven years later, Frankie Chavez told her mother she wanted to shave her head for St. Baldrick's Foundation. St. Baldrick's is a nonprofit based in Monrovia that raises money for childhood cancer research.
Frankie's mother told her to think about it.
Jessica Chavez said this exchange brought her back to that first morning at preschool drop off.
Three girls shaved their heads Thursday at the 18th annual St. Baldrick's event at Matt Denny's Ale House Restaurant in Arcadia. Aside from Frankie, 10, Mia Cuevas, also 10, and Mercedes Boldt, 14, collected pledges to raise money for childhood cancer research.
Other participants from Holy Angels School included students Jefferson Dyrek; Robert Frausto; Ashton Gil; Ryder Gil; Kenneth M; Timothy Murphy; Blake Parsons; and John Short. Several fathers, and Clive Kelly, the school's athletic director, braved the shave too. Kelly has been leading the charge for more than 10 years. The team raised more than $11,000. They join volunteers who raised more than $258 million for research in 29 countries.

It is again time to head to Burton upon Trent for the society's all-diesel and electric show with the Great Central three-day exhibition following soon afterwards.
EARLY summer is here and with it comes the annual Diesel & Electric Modellers United exhibition in Burton upon Trent.
Taking place on the first weekend of June, this event will once again see some of the finest diesel and electric era layouts gathered together under one roof and supported by a range of quality traders and demonstrations.
A total of 15 layouts will be squeezed into the town hall venue with 'N' gauge representation provided by Jon Dean's Lofthole Oil Terminal and Steve Farmer's blue-era Lymebrook Yard.
Moving up to 4mm scale, 'OO' gauge has a particularly strong representation this year, including Worthing MRC's Loftus Road, Mick Bryan's new Derby RTC-inspired Deadman's Lane and Vopak Terminal, an impressive piece of South Wales industrial modelling by Paul Rolley.
Continuing in 'OO', other exhibits include the current day Acton Parkway by Halifax MRC, Carl Bowden's 1980s-set Alderford, Hewisbridge from the 57 Study Group, Wakefield RMS' Troutons and Fenwick TMD by Dan and Mick Lawrence.
Showing what can be achieved in a small space in 'OO' are the trio of Werrington Road by Neil Favell, Richard Coleman's Cripple Sidings and Nick Gurney's The Sidings.
Finally, in the finer 4mm gauges, there is Sheepcroft in 'EM' by Stu Davies, along with Mathew Farrell's depiction of the Southern third rail system in the corporate era in the form of Shelvington in 'P4'.
As usual, Showcase will feature more than just layouts with the list of demonstrations including modelling flat-bottom track by Colin Craig, a DCC clinic by Alan Monk and a display of 2mm and 7mm models from Richard Dockerill.
Rail Express Modeller will again have a presence at the event, with a display marking the 30th anniversary of the Railfreight sub-sector liveries. In the same vein as last year's Network SouthEast collection, this will feature a line-up of models, along with a display of literature and other memorabilia.
The lengthy list of traders and manufacturers includes ABC Workshops, Bachmann, Booklaw Publications, C-Rail Intermodal, Dapol, DC Kits, DCC Supplies, Kernow Model Rail Centre, Railtec Models, Realtrack Models, Replica Railways, Revolution Trains, R3sprays, S Kits, Shawplan/Extreme Etchings, TTC Diecast and Tim Horn Precision Scale Replicas & Layout Accessories.

SNCF 2-8-2 141.R.420, Lapeyrouse, Mon 2 May 2005 1 - 0935. Day 2 of the Mediterranean Steam Express was a trip from Clermont Ferrand to Montlucon via Gannat both ways. The train was hauled by this 141R, seen here taking water. Over 1,300 of these rugged locos were built in the USA and Canada in 1945 - 1947 for France's war -ravaged railways. Very different to traditional sophisticated French compounds, they were immensely successful mixed-traffic machines. In 1968, the SNCF had 919 steam locos in service; no fewer than 604 were 141Rs.

Reception visited Strudda Bank Farm on Wednesday 23rd March. Farmer Kevin, Yvonne and Vicky made us feel so welcome on their farm. We went on a tractor ride around the fields and we met Smarty the cow. We checked on the newly born lambs whilst we were out on the tractor. We fed the chickens and collected the eggs. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Apparently, a woman was stabbed on Four Mile Run on Saturday morning. When the weather's nice I enjoy going for a walk on Four Mile Run because it's leafy, shady and hilly, but now that there's a stabber on the loose I guess I won't be going on any more solo walks :(. And it's not like it was night time…this woman was attacked at 11am on a Saturday morning, grabbed from behind and stabbed, which seems pretty bold and very scary. Four Mile Run might not be quite as busy as the WO&D Trail which runs parallel to it, but I'm sure it's not completely desolate on a Saturday morning!
Between the Arlington stabber and the Springfield groper my lunch time walks are really taking a hit.

Be careful! You should always walk with a buddy!

This premium award features laser engraved lettering on black brass inscription plates. This differs from traditionally engraving by instead of "scratching" the inscription plate with a diamond-tipped awl, on the metal, a heavy-duty industrial laser burnishes the painted upper layer from the inscription plate, revealing the lusterous brass underneath. This is our most premium inscription method and it is especially great for putting black & white logos on an inscription plate.

The last of the round robin matches in Istanbul on Friday night was played between 7th seeded Sara Errani (Player Profile) and 8th seeded Jelena Jankovic (Player Profile) of the White Group. These two players have only met once, way back in 2010, when the Serb won a very tight match in Indian Wells. Because of Na Li's win over an injured Vika Azarenka in the first match of the day, Jankovic automatically goes through to the semis too. In any event, Errani had no chance of making the semis, having lost both her first two matches – against Li and Azarenka.
Errani got the match going but Jankovic broke immediately, followed by a break by Errani and a hold of her serve. She broke again to lead 4-2 and held for 5-2. Jankovic then held and broke Errani when she served for the set to trail 4-5 but the Italian closed out the set at 6-4.
She started the second set and games went with serve. Errani managed to hold serve after a very lenghty 7th game and subsequently break her opponent for a 5-3 lead. Despite Jankovic saving two match points when Errani serving for the match, she dropped serve in the very next game with the Italian converting her fifth match point after a superb rally.
However, it is Jankovic who secured her place in tomorrow's semi-final against Serena Williams. The other semis will feature Petra Kvitova and Li Na.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The University of Miami women's basketball team led No. 12/12 Florida State for over 31 minutes on the road Sunday at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center, but fell by three, 70-67.
No. 17/17 Miami (22-7, 10-6 ACC) had three players score in double figures, with junior guard Adrienne Motley's 18 points leading the way for the Hurricanes, who shot 25-of-54 (46.3 percent) from the field. Miami led by six with six minutes left, before Florida State (23-6, 13-3 ACC) went on a 15-2 run to send the crowd of nearly 4,000 into a frenzy.
"Well, that's the team that we need to be and that's the team we truly are. So, it was nice to have the intensity back and the tempo back, [as well as] the defensive effort and the rebounding effort," Miami head coach Katie Meier said. "We had to fix a lot and I'm really excited because it wasn't going to be fun going into the postseason with so many unknowns. So, I think everybody responded tonight and we played a much cleaner basketball game, but in the end, [Florida State junior guard] Leticia Romero just made great plays."
Miami jumped out to a 9-2 lead in the first three minutes and 34 seconds. The Hurricanes connected on a trio of 3-pointers in the first period, two by junior guard Jessica Thomas and one by Motley, and led 16-15 through 10 minutes of play.
The Hurricanes opened the second quarter on a 10-4 run to stretch their lead back up to seven, 26-19, with five minutes and 37 seconds left before the intermission. Florida State would go on to make its final three shots of the half and Miami took a 30-29 lead into the locker room, just the sixth team to lead the Seminoles at the break. The Hurricanes did not trail at all in the opening 20 minutes.
Motley led all players in both points and rebounds at the half, with 10 and seven, respectively. The seven rebounds tied her top mark for a full game in 2015-16.
Florida State took its first lead of the game just under three minutes into the third period and built its advantage to four points, 37-33, with 6:08 on the clock. Miami, however, immediately countered by going on a 13-3 run to go up by six, 46-40,
Five different Hurricanes scored during their run to regain the lead, and Miami went on take a four-point edge, 48-44, through 30 minutes of action.
Miami raised its lead back to six, 54-48, in the fourth period, but Florida State answered with seven-straight points to go up by one with four minutes and 24 seconds left. Miami quickly tied it with a free throw by freshman guard Laura Cornelius 19 seconds later.
The Seminoles then went on an 8-1 run to take their largest lead of the game, 63-56, with 1:26 on the clock.
"We gave them live ball turnovers. They were going to make a run," Meier said. "We had command of the game. We had control of the game for almost 32 minutes. They did hit a couple of tough shots, but I think it was the transition points off of our mistakes that cost us that game. That's what frustrating for us."
Miami pulled within three, 67-64, on a three-point play by redshirt senior guard Michelle Woods with 9.3 seconds remaining. A 3-pointer by Motley with two seconds to go made it 69-67, but Romero made the first of two free throws to ice the game. Romero shot 5-of-6 at the line in final 20 seconds.
In addition to Motley's team-high 18 points, Thomas posted 14 and redshirt junior forward Keyona Hayes added 10 points to go along with a game-high nine rebounds. Sophomore forward/center Erykah Davenport chipped in with nine points, seven rebounds and a game- and career-high five steals.
Romero led all scorers with 24 points, while sophomore forward Shakayla Thomas recorded 22 points of 9-of-14 shooting (64.3 percent) for the Seminoles. Freshman forward Maria Conde added 14 points, too.
The Hurricanes outrebounded Florida State, 34-28, and have now edged the Seminoles on the glass in both meetings this season. Florida State was outrebounded in just three of its other 27 games.
"I thought our post players did a great job of neutralizing their posts because they're very, very good and we really took them out of their game," Meier said. "Romero had to have a career high to beat us and I thought she was very timely. Her points were very, very timely. Most every play they made down the stretch she had something to do with. She was great."
Miami will receive a bye in the first round of the upcoming ACC Tournament as the fifth seed in the field. The Hurricanes will then open play Thursday at 11 a.m. against the winner of Wednesday's matchup between No. 12-seed Pittsburgh and No. 13-seed North Carolina. The game will be televised live on RSN from the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, N.C.

See real-time subtitles through Google Glass-like apparatus
Jon Gold (Network World)
For most of us, subtitles are what we use to understand what's going on in Kung Fu movies and Aaron Sorkin shows -- but a new invention from developer Will Powell is bringing them to new venues.
Powell's device, which he says was inspired by Google Glass, links a Raspberry Pi microcomputer to a set of augmented reality glasses with a microphone and built-in display to provide (almost) real-time subtitles for conversations being held in foreign languages.
MORE ADVANCED HEADWARE: 9 high-tech glasses you might be seeing soon
Powell gained recognition back in April, when he developed his own, home-brewed version of Google Glass, using webcams, Adobe AIR, and other tools to replicate the advertised functionality of Google's product.
MORE GOOGLE GLASS ALTERNATIVES: Can't wait for Google's Project Glass? Try these video glasses on for size
A smartphone or tablet is also required, to provide a steady audio stream to the Microsoft translation API used to create the captions. Captured audio passes through a Bluetooth microphone, to the mobile device, and is translated via a Microsoft translation API.
"Passing through this API service is the biggest delay in the subtitles," Powell wrote in a blog post.
Once the translation is made, the text is fed to the Raspberry Pi running the display in the glasses, and projected for the user to read.
And no, we're not sure why they're playing chess, either.
While there's obviously a significant translation delay in the system, it's an impressive demonstration nevertheless. However, the need for all that associated hardware -- a nearby TV appears to be translating the text input from the site into closed-caption data for the glasses -- likely makes Powell's invention no more than a proof-of-concept device at the moment.

There are tons of things to do in Milwaukee, but besides for outdoor activities like heading to the beach in summer, most things cost money. It's nice once in a while to take advantage of free events to save money, especially when going with the whole family.
Milwaukee has numerous free days to take advantage of, especially at area museums and parks. It's also worth watching for Milwaukee Museum Week, typically in January, when most museums have at least one day of free admission for children under seventeen, and discount rates for group ticket purchases.
If you don't want to wait for January, then read below for a quick guide to free days at Milwaukee museums and parks.
The Betty Brinn Children's Museum is like a wonderland for kids under thirteen. They have numerous exhibits that are both fun and educational, like science exhibits, a trivial pursuit area, children's art, and an interactive kid-sized city where kids learn what makes a community run by playing a banker or customizing a Harley Davidson. Located right at the end of Wisconsin Avenue, parking is easy and the location makes it easy to head to other area attractions.
Free day: Every third Thursday each month from 5pm until 8pm.
Address: 929 E. Wisconsin Ave.
Free Day: First Tuesday of every month from 8am to 6pm.
Located right on Prospect Avenue on Milwaukee's east side, the Charles Allis Art Museum is part of the broader museum row. The small art museum is inside a historic mansion, built by the prominent Allis family in Milwaukee specifically to hold their art collection. The mansion manages to hold quite a bit of art, including paintings and objectives from around the world. Once inside, you can tell that the family had a special affinity for international artwork.
Address: 1801 N. Prospect Ave.
The Harley Davidson Museum located between downtown and Walker's Point draws visitors from all across the world. While the museum normally does not offer regular free days, a good insider secret is to check ahead of time for admission policy on Milwaukee Day. Every April 14th is Milwaukee day for the 414 area code of the city. Most years if you show up at the Harley Davidson museum wearing any clothing that clearly says "Milwaukee" on it, you can get in free for the day. Once inside, there are always special discounts on food and merchandise to celebrate the holiday as well.
Address: 400 W. Canal St.
Jewish Museum Milwaukee, located on Milwaukee's east side, is part of the museum row. The museum is dedicated to the history of the Jewish community in Milwaukee, and always has a rotating exhibit on interesting topics. Be sure to park behind the building since finding a spot in the area can be difficult. Check online for free community days.

The Milwaukee County Zoo is a great destination when visiting Milwaukee. The zoo is surprisingly large for a mid-size city like Milwaukee, and holds all sorts of animals from around the world. The zoo has all sorts of fun kids activities, but is also a great way to spend a day for adults without the kids. There are occasional family free days at the Zoo. The next one is on March 2 from 9am until 4:30pm. If you check online you can often find when the next family free day is coming up.

"I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds which in time past was to thee unprofitable but now profitable to thee and to me" (Philem 10, 11).
St. Paul was a prisoner of Christ in Rome. Apparently, Onesimus, a slave of Philemon, had robbed his master and fled to Rome where he was caught and put in the same prison where Paul was imprisoned. By the ministry of Paul, Onesimus got saved. An illiterate slave and thief is adopted by St. Paul. "To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some" (I Cor 9:22).
Though Paul was in bonds, he brought freedom to others who were in bonds. Maybe you are not literally in bonds or in prison, but the very situation in your house, family or in your work place may appear to be keeping you in bonds. As in the case of Paul, God might have permitted your "bonds" to bring true freedom to many others. Do you remember what happened the time Paul was thrown into the Philippian jail? See Acts16: 22-33. Your "jailor" too can be saved!
The meaning of Onesimus is "profitable". Once he was an unprofitable servant; now that he is saved, he becomes profitable to St. Paul and to his master. A saved person should be a blessing to the spiritual world and to the secular world.
