'Us' is starting conversations among moviegoers

Following the world premiere of Jordan Peele's Us at the SXSW Film Festival, the consensus response seemed to involve two somewhat conflicting impulses.
One was to talk about the film. A lot. With its layered storytelling, nuanced performances and surprising twists, the movie is quite purposefully designed to start conversations. The second impulse was to see the movie again as soon as possible, if for no other reason than to prove or deny the various theories and readings that sprang from all that talking.
In the movie Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke play a married couple, Adelaide and Gabe Wilson, who find themselves and their two children under siege at their vacation home by people who seem to be evil-twin versions of themselves (dubbed Red and Abraham in the film's end credits), who come to be known as the Tethered. Eventually much is revealed about what is going on, but the film's deeper meanings will likely inspire months of conjecture and speculation.
"I think my favourite thing is the idea that people will leave ready to have a conversation with whoever they're with," Peele said during a Q&A after the premiere.
"On the broader strokes of things, this movie is about this country," he continued. "I was stricken with the fact that we are in a time where we fear the other, whether it is the mysterious invader that we think is going to come and kill us, take our jobs, or the faction that we don't live near that voted a different way than us. We're all about pointing the finger.
"And I wanted to suggest that maybe the monster we really need to look at has our face, maybe the evil is us."
On Saturday afternoon Peele's two stars, who also collaborated on last year's blockbuster Black Panther, seemed as energised as anyone else from the previous night's audience, buzzing with excitement and brimming with ideas as they sat down for a spoiler-sensitive conversation to parse the meanings and messages of Us.
Warning: Minor spoilers do follow, in case you want to preserve all secrets for yourself until the film's release this weekend.

As Jordan Peele's follow-up to Get Out, there's so much anticipation around the movie. What do you hope is going to happen with this movie?
Nyong'o: I think the ideal situation is that people run with it. I think Jordan makes films that he wants to live on beyond the cinema. And he wants people discussing them and taking them apart and putting back together. He wants films lived-in by an audience. And so if that happened then it would feel like success.
Duke: And I feel like what he does as well is curate conversation. Like Get Out did — she (Nyong'o) took the entire cast of Black Panther to see Get Out after she saw it. Like, "You guys have to see this." After we talked about it for like 2 1/2, three hours at a bar. … That was amazing. And with this movie as well, it's going to be another conversation piece.
It's difficult to talk about Us in a way that feels spoiler-free. Have you all talked about how to talk about the movie?
Nyong'o: Well, we have talking points from the studio. About what they're OK with us saying and the things that they don't want us to say. It was helpful to me because this film is very hard to talk about without ruining it. I think the premise is the thing that we can share because it's in the trailer — that this is a family going on a vacation and the mother has a foreboding sense of something crazy is going to happen because of a trauma she had when she was a child. And she's proven right when these four shadowy figures show up at the top of their driveway and the worst nightmare of all their lives ensues from that. And I think saying that doesn't spoil it and kind of sets it up.
And I think also we've all been very deliberate about trying to prepare an audience with something that is not Get Out. There is a grand expectation that he will be carrying on in the kind of racial commentary aspect. And this is not that. I think where Jordan is making strides is by putting black people in the centre of his narratives and showing their unremarkability, and that's what this film is about. Their blackness is not the thing in question. It is just their norm and something else, some other monster is coming for them. And it's very important to prepare an audience for that — to love Get Out but leave it outside and walk into the cinema to experience something else.
We are led by our emotions, our needs, not necessarily by our intellect, and so when I'm working, once I figured out the intellectual, the cerebral, I tend to try and translate it into action, into emotion, and lead with that.
I want to ask about playing the dual roles. Lupita, for you especially your physicality changes entirely in the way that you carry yourself, the way that you hold your face. How did you create those distinctions between the characters of Adelaide and Red?
Nyong'o: I worked very hard at trying to delineate the two, and it was about very painstakingly creating a physical, emotional and psychological vocabulary for each one of them. And for me, what cracked it open was figuring out the physicality after all my research was done. I went into the physical work of it.
A governing factor for me was that I approached Adelaide with a more naturalistic style, and with Red, I was definitely more stylistic. And then within that, Jordan gave me specific words that he felt represented each one. And I basically ran with those. (One thing) I knew about Adelaide is that she has a past in dance, and so having the residue of a dancer was something that I really worked on. I did ballet classes and that sort of thing. And then with Red, he used the words "queen" and "cockroach," and those two words are so dissonant, but they made a lot of sense to me because you know the thing about a queen — I don't know that I can talk about this without spoiling it. I'm getting nervous now.
Duke: I think what's also one of the big strengths is that the movie means so much and the movie is so multifaceted that unless it's literally the one big twist, I don't think you can ruin this.
Nyong'o: OK, cool. So anyway, the queen and the cockroach thing, they seem kind of diametrically opposed. But there is the kind of regality but also with the determination and surprise of a cockroach. A cockroach can be completely still and then just dart and scurry and they're survivors and they're also the things that we dread. When you see a cockroach, things are not good. Those two things really helped to inspire the direction I went with both characters.
Winston, at the premiere you said that you didn't see your alternate character of Abraham as a villain. And there is perhaps a way of looking at the entire story from the Tethered's point of view. Were you really conceiving what Abraham's view of the story was?
Duke: One hundred per cent. And one thing that really helped me flesh out the difference between the two characters, and I'll reiterate, is function. I felt Gabe is a husband, right? So he believes he can lead, he is the husband. He is, "My way goes at the end of the day, I bring home the bacon," he applies normal societal conditioning. I believed Abraham is much more of a partner. Abraham is there to make sure that the mission succeeds. Abraham is there to listen and make sure that (Red's) communication is clearly heard and felt, and anything outside of that is unacceptable. I definitely felt like it was a different movie from their standpoint and I saw their need for experience and their need for liberation. I believed it really should have the audience question where they sit in the dynamics of privilege and lack of it.
What kind of conversations did you all have about the meaning of the movie, and how much are you talking about the thematic resonances as you're in the process of making it?
Nyong'o: With this movie, because it's very much from the mind of Jordan Peele, and the rules of the world were something that he dreamt up, it was really important for us to understand what he was trying to do. For me, those kinds of questions were in the beginning of the process a whole lot more. I wanted to make sure that I was picking up what Jordan was putting down and that I understood the themes, I understood the messaging, I understood the philosophy.
And then as we carried on in the shoot, because this is such an intellectually taut film, oftentimes we did have to revisit some of those things. But I try very hard to separate the cerebral from the emotional performance. Like Winston says, we are led by our emotions, our needs, not necessarily by our intellect, and so when I'm working, once I figured out the intellectual, the cerebral, I tend to try and translate it into action, into emotion, and lead with that. So in that moment I'm not thinking about the existential conversation, I'm thinking about what it is this character wants to convey.
Duke: I definitely leaned into more of the intellectual side, but it's still manifested in exactly what Lupita just said, understanding what the intellectual intention is, understanding the intention of the allegory that's at hand. And then translating that, because I think one of our main jobs is translation — translating ideas and verbiage and intention.
But there's a lot of duality in the film that I will call incredibly Peele-ian. It's very Peele-ian in that an image or an action means something totally different depending on the scene and in juxtaposition to what it's against. If it's Gabe, it means something totally different with a wife like Adelaide, Abraham means something very different next to Red. It's very important to understand those things.

Effect of Tamarillo Fortification and Fermentation Process on Physicochemical Properties and Nutrient and Volatiles Content of Yoghurt
Diep, TT; Yoo, MJY; Rush, E
Bright-red Laird's Large tamarillo is a unique and under-utilised fruit that is a dietary source of carotenoids, vitamins C and E, and dietary fibre. The effects of the addition of freeze-dried tamarillo powder (5–15%) to milk and yoghurt starter either before (PRE) or after (POS) fermentation on physicochemical properties were examined. Using LC-MS and GG-MS, nutrient and volatile contents of tamarillo yoghurt were also examined. The addition of tamarillo prior to fermentation was associated with a more yellow colour and higher concentrations of tocopherol compared to when tamarillo was added after fermentation. Higher elastic modulus, PUFAs, pro-vitamin A content, and vitamin C retention were observed for POS than PRE. All tamarillo yoghurts showed improvement in syneresis, lower lactose content, and higher concentrations of antioxidant vitamins than the commercial premium-assorted fruits yoghurt from New Zealand Food Composition Data. Yoghurt fortified with tamarillo powder offers the potential for the development of a high-value nutritional product that could be a good source of vitamin C and a source of vitamin E and β-carotene, and maintain the volatiles that give tamarillo its distinctive flavour.

Audit: LSU Prof paid for no Work
LSU faculty member was paid over $400K over 3 years without working, according to state audit
By Will Sentell – The (Baton Rouge) Advocate
A member of the faculty for the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine knowingly accepted over $400,000 in salary and benefits without doing the work over 38 months, Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera said Monday.
Management of the school also failed to take sufficient action to address the lack of work, Purpera said.
School leaders did not dispute the gist of the report.
"We agree with the finding that the faculty member knowingly failed to perform his duties for LSU for a significant period of time," Joel D. Baines, dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine, said in a written response.
"When asked to provide documentation to demonstrate fulfilling his duties to LSU since he submitted the last grant proposal in February, 2015 the faculty member was unable to provide any documentation," according to Purpera's report.
He was directed to appear at the school for the fall, 2018 semester and perform his duties but had not done so as of Sept. 29 of last year.
The faculty member was still employed by LSU as of Jan. 24 of this year.

Trump Expected in Baton Rouge: WBRZ-TV2 Baton Rouge
Donald Trump expected in Baton Rouge Friday
By: Trey Schmaltz
BATON ROUGE – President-elect Donald Trump is expected in Baton Rouge Friday afternoon, multiple sources told WBRZ Tuesday.
Sources spoke on condition of anonymity as the event is still being planned. Two sources with knowledge of a planned visit said staff were trying to find a venue. Before the election, Trump's schedule was regularly updated with seemingly spur-of-the-moment rallies that were heavily attended. Events are known to attract thousands of people. At a campaign event in Baton Rouge in early 2016, more than 10,000 filled the River Center. A visit Friday may require space for more than the number of people who attended the first Baton Rouge campaign stop.
Trump would likely be in Baton Rouge stumping for State Treasurer John Kennedy who is in a runoff election against Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell for David Vitter's seat in the U.S. Senate. Vitter decided not to run for re-election after losing the race for governor to John Bel Edwards.
Should Trump visit Baton Rouge Friday, it'd be his third visit in 2016. In August, Donald Trump spent a few hours touring flood-damaged areas. He held the campaign event at the River Center in February.

A Message from E. J. Forgotston
That's the question I've heard over and over again after my loving husband C.B. Forgotston died on the morning of Jan. 3. He shot and killed himself.
In some cases, family members try to hide a suicide. I thought it was important for people to know how he died.
I think it's also important for people to know that C.B. suffered all his adult life with clinical depression. It got so bad at the end that he felt like he had no way out.
He did not share his depression with others. In fact, he didn't even use that word, not even with me for a long time. He simply told me that he needed "quiet time." I guess I thought he just needed his space. I didn't realize he was depressed.
He told me that others in his family had suffered mental problems, including his mother. She became ill when C.B. was seven. She was diagnosed as being bipolar, which I think was a word that physicians used when they really didn't have a clear understanding of the situation. She was in and out of institutions until her death at the age of 96 in 2014.
C.B. managed his depression with daily medicines. He was a senior staffer for years at the Legislature, and afterwards he was a top business lobbyist. Over the past 20 years, the general public got to know him from his frequent appearances on talk radio and in TV interviews.
In recent years, he expressed his views on state government and politics in pointed emails, through his blog and through Twitter. I'm proud that he always expressed his views about what was right, even if others didn't always want to hear it.
Over time, he opened up with me about his depression, especially after Hurricane Katrina destroyed our home in New Orleans and led us to move to Hammond.
When a particular drug was no longer effective, doctors put him on a different medication. This continued until six months ago when the latest medication stopped working well. After that, his doctor tried four or five different drug combinations. None of them seemed to work.
His experience with his mother scared him. He had dealt with having to care for her since childhood, especially after his father died in l987, and the entire burden fell on him. He feared becoming a burden on me.
Right after Christmas, we discussed his depression once again, and this time I told him that he should share his battle with close friends and a major business client. I was sure that it would be a great relief to him and that it could make it easier for him to cope.
C.B. agreed but wasn't sure how to do so. I suggested that he send them an email.
Even writing it was too much for him. So I wrote it for him. This is what I wrote:
"For the last several months C. B. has been dealing with some health issues.
He has been under a doctor's care, and they are working with us to readjust medications to find the correct combination.
Today, after his appointment, the doctor has recommended that C.B. take a month off to rest and recover.
Please understand that he would like to convey this to each of you personally, however, during this time, rest with as little stress as possible is necessary for his recovery.
Thank you for your understanding. E. J."
He agreed he would send it on Jan. 4. But the day before, he left me a note while I was sleeping and slipped out of the house.
C.B. and I had a wonderful life. We shared small-town values – he was from Newellton, I'm from Kentwood – and we both had success in the big city, me as an interior designer in New Orleans, him with his influence on state government.
He had great friends – I couldn't believe that hundreds of people would turn out for his funeral – and loved living in Hammond.
He was not an unhappy person, as some people have suggested to me in recent days. No, he suffered from a mental illness that he could no longer control at the end.
My hope is that in going public with C.B.'s depression – and his inability to be more forthcoming about it with people close to him – I can encourage others in a similar situation to find the help they need, before it's too late.
C. B.'s loving wife,

C. B. Forgotston, Jr. Memorialized Yesterday in Hammond
C. B. Forgotston, Jr. Memorial Service – Hamond, LA, Friday, January 8, 2016
More than 300 friends, family, and acquaintances gathered yesterday at Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Hammond to remember C. B. Forgotston, Jr., the most genuine political iconoclast in modern Louisiana history.
Hundreds more came for the visitation prior to the services.
He dared to believe that the citizens of Louisiana deserved honest government, and worked tirelessly to that end.
Forgotston died last Sunday at age 70.
Former Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI) president Dan Jeneau eulogized Forgotston thus: "He was the bravest man I ever knew. And he paid the price."
Nephew John Adams spoke of how Forgotston became a surrogate father to him while growing up.
Forgotston's widow, Ella Joy (E. J.) Adams Forgotston delivered a heart-wrenching account of his kindness, thoughtfulness, and sense of humor. It was a side perhaps not known to many who knew Forgotston only in his public persona of unflinching confrontation to government corruption.
Officiating at the service was Deacon Jerry Martinez, who remarked wryly about a Catholic Priest conducting a funeral service for a Jewish man who was married to an Episcopalian. Forgotston often attended retreats at Manresa, that were led by Martinez.
Scattered throughout the crowd were present and former politicians, many who at one time or another were the target of Forgotston's barbs. Likely many were there because they were afraid not to be.
Some Commentary
C. B. Forgotston, Jr. was a friend and a mentor.
I got to know him over twenty years ago when he said that it wasn't a good thing for a state with history of political corruption to form an alliance with Organized Gambling, and embrace a behavior that is incompatible with hard work, discipline and thrift.
His prediction proved prophetic. Despite the billions in tax income from slot machines and dice tables, Louisiana seems poorer than it ever was before.
Over the years, we shared many ideas, theories, conversations, and vociferous arguments about the art of self-government.
I learned much more from him than I think he learned from me.
I had no intention of reporting on yesterday's events in Hammond when another long-time friend and I made plans to attend the service. We simply wanted to pay our respects to our friend and his family.
However, about halfway through the service, I realized that the ceremony was news, because C. B. Forgotston also belonged to the long-suffering Louisiana citizen and taxpayer, as much as he belonged to his family and friends.
He was vox populi, the voice of the people, when members of what Forgotston derisively called the "paid media" failed to do their jobs as watchdogs of government.
So I say goodbye, Don Quixote. Thanks for all you taught me.

Your Betters Think You Don't Pay Enough Taxes
A much-ballyhooed gathering of public policy "experts" were in town yesterday to tell us why you taxpayers need to do with less so that government doesn't have to.
Here is the KTVE-TV10 report:
Officials gather to discuss numerous possibilities on how to overcome Louisiana's $1.6 billion shortfall.
State Representative, Rob Shadoin, says it's going to take everyone coming together whether they're from the left or the right.
"What I am hoping is that we can come together as Louisianian's first, and leave all the party labels outside that big tall building known as the Capital in Baton Rouge," says Shadoin.
The Committee of 100, a group of business and university leaders from around the state, lays out a fiscal strategy.
"We have to restructure the tax code. We have to find a way to broaden the tax base. We have to find a way to flatten the tax base," says CEO, Michael Olivier.
Here is the complete report from the Committee of 100:

Higher Ed Efficiencies – Maybe We Should Try This in Louisiana
U of Wisconsin Colleges to Cut and Consolidate Administrative Jobs
The University of Wisconsin Colleges, a system of 13 two-year college campuses, on Tuesday announced it would consolidate the leadership jobs for those campuses into four regions, with a single executive officer for each region. Those four leaders will replace the current 13 top posts at the campuses.
The system said it was eliminating the equivalent of 83 full-time administrative positions to cope with its $5 million share of the $125 million state budget cut to the University of Wisconsin System. Another $125 million cut is slated for next year. The UW Colleges, which enroll 14,000 students, will not eliminate any faculty positions, the system said in a news release.
Cathy Sandeen, chancellor of the UW Colleges and UW-Extension, said the budget cuts are the largest in the system's history.
"In making these changes, we are staying true to our key priorities and our mission: to ensure access, to provide the highest level of instruction and services to our students, and to uphold our commitment to the communities that invest in us," Sandeen said in a written statement. "I have been strongly committed throughout our budget reduction processes to protecting our academic program, which is our core mission."

Q: What is the syntax of the SMPrivilegedExecutables string in plist files for launchd helpers? I've looked at the documentation on SMJobBless and looked at the EvenBetterAuthorizationSample and can't find a definition of what this string actually is. That example says replace the developer id with my own which is fine, but there is a lot of other stuff in there that is unexplained. This is the string from the example:
anchor apple generic and identifier "com.example.apple-samplecode.EBAS.HelperTool" and (certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.9] /* exists */ or certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = XXXXXXXXX)

There are "and" and "or" parts, what else is possible, what are the operator precedences etc? What is that stuff inside the [ ] why does the word "certificate" get followed by "leaf" and by "1"? I can infer that it's checking something about the the certificate but what?
Considering the specific nature of what this is doing I'm guessing I've missed some link that details this language.

A: This is the Code Signing Requirement Language that the SMPrivilegedExecutables string is written in.

Leftover chicken is great in these savoury pancakes which include peas, broccoli and fresh tarragon.
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C. First make the batter. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the egg and a pinch of salt, then gradually whisk in the milk to form a smooth batter. (This can be done in a blender or food processor.) Transfer to a jug.
To make the filling, cook the peas and broccoli in a saucepan of boiling water, or in the microwave, following the packet instructions. Drain, then roughly chop the broccoli. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan, add the onion and cook gently for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, then gradually stir in the milk. Bring to the boil, still stirring, then simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir in the chicken, peas, broccoli and tarragon and season.
Spoon some filling onto the centre of each pancake, spreading it out a little, then roll up to enclose the filling. Arrange the filled pancakes, in a single layer, in a lightly greased, shallow oblong ovenproof dish, such as a lasagne dish, then sprinkle evenly with the cheese. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden.

Així, en contrast amb moltes altres funcions especials de la física matemàtica, les funcions de Baer no es poden expressar en general en termes de funcions hipergeomètriques.

L'equació d'ones de Baer és una generalització que resulta de separar variables en l'equació de Helmholtz en coordenades paraboloidals:

Antoni Kępiński, né le  à Dolyna en Ukraine actuelle, mort le  à Cracovie en Pologne, est un psychiatre polonais.

Biographie
En 1936, il commence des études de médecine à l'Université Jagellonne de Cracovie

Il soumit à la critique les conceptions mystiques de Carl Gustav Jung, ayant préféré s'émanciper par une critique radicale (en particulier de ce qu'il considéra comme des aspects spiritualistes dans la psychologie jungienne mieux nommée psychologie analytique) pour finalement cocréer la sienne.

Dans son livre La psychopathologie des névroses, il a introduit la notion de « métabolisme (échange) d'information » pour décrire les régularités des relations stables entre les individus.

Ses travaux, inspirés des approches de Jung, ont permis à Aushra Augustinavichute de créer la théorie de la socionique, créée dans la sphère soviétique et équivalente au Myers Briggs Type Indicator développé dans la sphère  occidentale.

Ancien détenu des camps de concentration nazis, il a participé à un programme de réadaptation des survivants du camp d'Auschwitz. Sa carrière médicale a été exceptionnelle, il est devenu l'un des meilleurs chercheurs polonais dans le domaine de la psychiatrie. Ses théories sur le métabolisme de l'information et de psychiatrie axiologique  et son œuvre finale comporte plus de 140 publications, dont plusieurs livres.

This is part 2 in a 4-part series intended to help you answer the question of whether you really need an estate plan. In this post, we will focus on the power of attorney.
Your power of attorney document names a person (your agent) to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated.
Having a power of attorney drafted is as important as having a will, in my opinion, because without a power of attorney no one has the authority to manage your finances and affairs. In that case, your friend or loved one would need to petition the Orphans' Court for guardianship, which is a time consuming and expensive process (orders of magnitude more difficult and expensive than having a power of attorney drafted).
You have two options with regard to when the agent or agents you name are given the legal authority to manage your personal financial and general affairs.
A "springing" power of attorney "springs" into effect upon determination (or adjudication) of your incapacity. This prevents the agents you name from taking any action prior to your becoming incapacitated which, on the surface, sounds good. Why would you want anyone to act on your behalf before then? However, securing such an adjudication takes time and money because a court is usually involved. It is my recommendation in most cases that the principal (you) opt for authority which is immediately effective upon signed (as described below).
A power of attorney which is immediately effective upon signing does just that; it bestows the legal authority for your agent to act on your behalf immediately upon your signing the document. If you are injured and incapacitated, steps likely need to be taken in a timely manner to manage your finances and property, and your agent needs access to your accounts to enable them to do so. By drafting your power of attorney to become effective immediately upon signing, you allow your agent to step in right away without the requirement of an adjudication of your incapacity.
The reason for the smooth transition is that your agent had the power to act for you all along. This makes it critical that your agent be someone in which you have complete trust. If there is any question on this point, consider a springing power of attorney instead (as described above).
Note about interacting with banks and other institutions: In my experience, bank representatives are often unaware of the difference between a springing power of attorney and one that is immediately effective upon signing. This is understandable, as they look the same except for a bit of language usually toward the end of the document, and because bank representatives themselves are not lawyers or trained to recognize the difference. Therefore, a bank representative may require proof of incapacity of the principal even when presented with a power of attorney which is immediately effective upon signing. At this point, your agent should reiterate that the power of attorney does not require such proof, and that they should forward the document to their legal department for confirmation of this.
You will sometimes hear the term "durable" power of attorney. A durable power of attorney survives the incapacity of the principal (you). Thus, durable power of attorney is the type which we are discussing today and is the type which is appropriate for estate planning.
Durable powers of attorney are contrasted with "special" powers of attorney, which are rendered ineffective upon the incapacity of the principal. Since our goal is to plan for incapacity, special powers of attorney are usually not appropriate for estate planning. They are very helpful in other circumstances, however, like when a person is overseas and wishes to give authority to someone stateside to, for example, transact business on their behalf while away.
A power of attorney is not an entirely standardized document, despite the fact that it is treated that way by manufacturers of standard forms available to the public and from online legal document drafting services. In fact, there are a host of powers which may or may not be appropriate in your case which an attorney can help you decide on whether to include. These special powers are only given to your agent if you include them in your power of attorney document. Discussion of each of these powers is beyond the scope of this article, but each is worthy of discussion with your attorney.
Stay tuned for the next post in this series on your healthcare power of attorney and living will. If you would like to draft an estate plan or power of attorney, or just have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Q: Force mobile browser zoom out with Javascript In my web app, I have some thumbnails that open a lightbox when clicked. On mobile, the thumbnails are small and the user typically zooms in. The problem is that when they click to play it, the lightbox is outside of the viewable area (they have to scroll to the lightbox to see the video). Is it possible to force a mobile browser to zoom out so they can see the whole page?
Making the page more responsive is not an option right now; it is a fairly large web application and it would take a huge amount of time to refactor.

A: Similar to Radley Sustaire's solution I managed to force unzoom whenever the device is turned in React with
  zoomOutMobile = () => {
    const viewport = document.querySelector('meta[name="viewport"]');

    if ( viewport ) {
      viewport.content = 'initial-scale=1';
      viewport.content = 'width=device-width';
    }
  }

and inside my render
this.zoomOutMobile();

1 edge case I found was this did not work on the Firefox mobile browser

A: I ran in a similar problem, rather the opposite, I guess, but the solution is most certainly the same. In my case, I have a thumbnail that people click, that opens a "popup" where users are likely to zoom in to see better and once done I want to return to the normal page with a scale of 1.0.
To do that I looked around quite a bit until I understood what happens and could then write the correct code.
The viewport definition in the meta data is a live value. When changed, the system takes the new value in consideration and fixes the rendering accordingly. However, the "when changed" is detected by the GUI and while the JavaScript code is running, the GUI thread is mostly blocked...
With that in mind, it meant that doing something like this would fail:
viewport = jQuery("meta[name='viewport']");
original = viewport.attr("content");
force_scale = original + ", maximum-scale=1";
viewport.attr("content", force_scale); // IGNORED!
viewport.attr("content", original);

So, since the only way I found to fix the scale is to force it by making a change that I do not want to keep, I have to reset back to the original. But the intermediary changes are not viewed and act upon (great optimization!) so how do we resolve that issue? I used the setTimeout() function:
viewport = jQuery("meta[name='viewport']");
original = viewport.attr("content");
force_scale = original + ", maximum-scale=1";
viewport.attr("content", force_scale);
setTimeout(function()
    {
        viewport.attr("content", original);
    }, 100);

Here I sleep 100ms before resetting the viewport back to what I consider normal.  That way the viewport takes the maximum-scale=1 parameter in account, then it times out and removes that parameter. The scale was changed back to 1 in the process and restoring my original (which does not have a maximum-scale parameter) works as expected (i.e. I can scale the interface again.)
WARNING 1: If you have a maximum-scale parameter in your original, you probably want to replace it instead of just appending another value at the end like in my sample code. (i.e. force_scale = original.replace(/maximum-scale=[^,]+/, "maximum-scale=1") would do the replace--but that works only if there is already a maximum-scale, so you may first need to check to allow for either case.)
WARNING 2: I tried with 0ms instead of 100ms and it fails. This may differ from browser to browser, but the Mozilla family runs the immediately timed out timer code back to back, meaning that the GUI process would never get a chance to reset the scale back to 1 before executing the function to reset the viewport. Also I do know of a way to know that the current viewport values were worked on by the GUI... (i.e. this is a hack, unfortunately.)

A: Dug through a lot of other questions trying to get something to zoom out to fit the entire page. This question was the most relevant to my needs, but had no answers. I found this similar question which had a solution, although implemented differently, and not what I needed.
I came up with this, which seems to work in Android at least.

*

*initial-scale=0.1: Zooms out really far. Should reveal your whole website (and then some)

*width=1200: Overwrites initial-scale, sets the device width to 1200.

You'll want to change 1200 to be the width of your site. If your site is responsive then you can probably just use initial-scale=1. But if your site is responsive, you probably don't need this in the first place.
function zoomOutMobile() {
  var viewport = document.querySelector('meta[name="viewport"]');

  if ( viewport ) {
    viewport.content = "initial-scale=0.1";
    viewport.content = "width=1200";
  }
}

zoomOutMobile();

A: This one works for me
let sw = window.innerWidth;
let bw = $('body').width();
let ratio = sw / bw - 0.01;
$('html').css('zoom', ratio);
$('html').css('overflow-x', 'hidden');

Its fits html to screen and prevents from scrolling. But this is not a good idea and work not everywhere.

A: var zoomreset = function() {
    var viewport = document.querySelector("meta[name='viewport']");
    viewport.content = "width=650, maximum-scale=0.635";
    setTimeout(function() {
        viewport.content = "width=650, maximum-scale=1";
    }, 350);
}
setTimeout(zoomreset, 150);

replace 650 with the width of your page

Epson DS-530 Review
Good: Single-pass duplexing, optional networking connectivity, ability to scan to cloud.
Bad: Not suitable for larger offices, warranty is only available for one year.
Bottom Line: Compact and lightweight device with the ability to scan documents to the cloud.
Intended Users:
Speed Black:
Speed Color:
The new DS-530 Color Duplex Document Scanners replaces the older WorkForce DS-520 in Epson's lineup. The newer scanner includes upgrades, such as faster scanning speed and higher daily duty cycle.
At $399.99, the DS-530 scans at up to 35ppm in grayscale, black and color modes. Its built-in 5o-sheet automatic document feeder can scan both sides of a page in a single pass. The duplex speed is up to 70ipm.
The DS-530 can read in a wide range of formats, from business cards to 8.5″ x 240″ long form paper. It also can scan in folded pages without a carrier sheet. Daily duty cycle is 4,000 pages.
The DS-530 is a compact and lightweight (at 8lbs.) scanner with very strong features. It is suitable for a smaller or medium-sized business, particularly a doctor's office where patients' driver license or insurance cards needs to be scanned. We want to especially recognize its single-pass duplexing, ability to scan to the cloud and optional networking features.
There is a good set of scanning tools, including automatic deskewing and background color removal. It also features hole-punch removal, as well as automatic document size detection. Ultrasonic double-feed detection is also included.
Epson utilizes one-touch scanning with up to 30 jobs that can be assigned to specific workflows, such as scanning to PDF and scanning to cloud. Users can scan to Dropbox, Google Drive or Evernote.
Connectivity, to both PCs and Macs, is through USB. There is an optional module for networking connectivity.
Software includes Epson Scan, ISIS/TWAIN, NewSoft Presto!, BizCard OCR, ABBYY Finereader Sprint and Epson Document Capture Software. There is a one-year limited warranty.

This scanner may not be suitable for offices with large scanning needs. Also, the warranty only lasts a year.
Epson America is a division of Japan-based Seiko Epson Corporation, a manufacturer and supplier of imaging products, semiconductors, liquid crystal displays, and watches. The company has been an innovative designer of ink jet printers and sells an extensive product line. Most of these are geared to home and school use, but Epson continues to extend its line further into the office environment.
Epson has been making a more aggressive play for the document scanner market, although the company's been in the multipurpose office scanner business for years. The models and other additions to its model line seem to be part of an effort to further extend its current scanner technology. As part of this effort, Epson makes these scanners available in consumer electronics stores such as Best Buy, along with Epson dealers and on its website.

"For Every Little Miracle"
Karen Scoggins
By Dave Andrusko
When we talk about the power of ultrasounds to "humanize" the unborn child, we're not telling you anything you don't already know.
On a day-to-day basis, expecting parents see ultrasounds every day and ultrasounds images are found attached to refrigerator doors everywhere.
Ultrasounds/sonograms are also seen and discussed in the context of providing abortion-vulnerable women a last-chance to see whom it is whose life is at risk.
But increasingly we see ultrasounds used for commercial purposes. And because they are so pervasive and so matter-of-factly illustrate the unborn in all her complexity—and the family network of which she is a part– they are an enormously powerful educational tool.
That's a long preamble to alert you to incredible Pampers ad that you can see at online at http://www.youtube.com/pampers.
From the very first ultrasound image through the last second of the one-minute and one-second long commercial, "For Every Little Miracle" sends one message, and one message only. We ought to celebrate babies—every baby—as a "little miracle" to "celebrate, support, and protect."
No big deal, you say? This bold assertion is preceded by a series of "whethers."
Such as whether the baby is planned or unplanned [!]; whether the mother is single or married; whether the child is early [premature] or "ten years late" [to an older woman who had difficulty conceiving]; whether adopted or a child with special needs—all these babies and more are each a "little miracle" to "celebrate, support, and protect."
Watch and then share "For Every Little Miracle" at http://www.youtube.com/pampers.
