WW1 Centenary
World War One Centenary
In the summer and autumn of 2014 and also in the autumn of 2018 there were exhibitions at the church based on the names which appear on the three war memorials which were raised in the Parish after the First World War. That is the Roll of of Honour at St Faith's Church, the Roll of Honour in King Edward School and the main memorial at the Clock in Gaywood.
In 1914 the Parish of Gaywood included King Edward school and the Highgate area of Kings Lynn as well as the Gaywood Parish as it now stands.
Local people supplied family stories and artefacts which have been recorded separately in files which were also part of the exhibition.
The original exhibition ran until 23rd November 2014 and was greatly appreciated by many visitors. It could not have been mounted without the help that was given to us by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Imperial War Museum and Image Group Limited for whose contributions we extend our thanks.
So that much of the information that was on display is still available full details of the "epitaphs" at the exhibition can be found here.
The Guildhall Singers will be putting on a Summer Concert in support of St Faith's Café on 3rd August 7.30pm. Further information here.
In The Church Rooms Thursdays 7 - 9 pm - 6th June for 6 weeks. Further information here.
We have started a Drop In for people with dementia and their carers. Every Wednesday afternoon in the Church Rooms from 2.30 to 4pm. A cup of tea and chat, friendship and support. More details here.

Home/Arts & Entertainment/India's biggest art fair returns after Covid hiatus
India's biggest art fair returns after Covid hiatus
Online News EditorApril 28, 2022
New Delhi, Apr 28 (EFE).- The India Art Fair, a platform showcasing the modern and contemporary art from the country, kicked off on Thursday for its 13th edition after a two-year gap due to Covid-19, with the pandemic preventing several international galleries from attending this year too.
The Covid crisis is also the leitmotif for several of the artworks on display at the event this year.
One of these is a piece by Indian artist Neerja Kothari, who began to mark each Covid-19 case with a point on a blank paper at the beginning of the pandemic, only to abandon the project later due to the gigantic size assumed by the disease, with over 500 million cases registered worldwide so far.
The work includes around 129,000 points and leaves a blank space to show that it is "still in progress" as the disease continues, the director of the Shrine Empire gallery, Shefali Somani, told EFE.
The gallery, one of the 63 that form part of the fair this year spanning 16 cities, also displays artwork on other current themes such as climate change and social problems.
The 2020 edition of the IAF, one of the most well known art events of the region, had been joined by 81 exhibitors.
India's Covid-linked restrictions, banning international flights apart from a few exceptions, made it difficult for several regular international galleries to attend the event this year.
Only four foreign exhibitors: Aicon, Aicon Contemporary (the United States), Grosvenor Gallery (the United Kingdom) and Karla Osorio (Brazil) have made it to New Delhi with their artwork this time.
"We still do have representation, but it's just been a little bit less this year. (…) these galleries plan like six months in advance," IAF director Jaya Asokan told EFE.
In order to bridge this gap, this edition of the fair has invited 14 nonprofit organizations and other institutions, which the organizers want to help in the contexts of the hardships faced by them in the last two years, as "it is these institutions who sought after the young, upcoming artists," Asokan said.
One of these is the Kolkata-based Center of Creativity, which greets visitors with an interpretive dance on rhythms based on Indian traditional music.
An emerging gallery, Terrain Art, has debuted at this year's event just two years after being founded in 2020.
The platform mainly promotes artists linked to digital art and Non-Fungible Tokens, forms that are new and beyond the grasp of much of the audience but are being seen as having a big future.
"It's important because there is no kind of middle man to showcase your art, it becomes a decentralized way of putting your work for sale," their exhibition's curator Sukanya Deb told EFE in a room full of screens that showed human faces and oceanic spirals.
Referring to the increasingly popular blockchain technology, Deb said that this kind of art would reduce the institutional dominance at such events and make it a "free for all space." EFE

Anarchy Rulz (1999) was the first Anarchy Rulz professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). It took place on September 19, 1999 from the Odeum Expo Center in Villa Park, Illinois. The announcers for the event were Joey Styles and Cyrus.

Rob Van Dam versus Balls Mahoney was included on the 2005 WWE DVD release Rob Van Dam: One of a Kind.

Rob Van Dam defended the ECW World Television Championship against Balls Mahoney in the main event, where he was originally supposed to defend the title against Johnny Smith but Smith was attacked and replaced by Mahoney before the match. The event also featured Tommy Dreamer and Raven retaining the ECW World Tag Team Championship against Rhino and Steve Corino and two three-way dance matches; the first saw Yoshihiro Tajiri defeat Super Crazy and Little Guido and the second featured Mike Awesome defeating champion Taz and Masato Tanaka to win the ECW World Heavyweight Championship in a match originally scheduled to be a one-on-one contest between Taz and Tanaka for the title.

Event
Before the event aired live on pay-per-view, Danny Doring and Roadkill defeated Billy Wiles and C. W. Anderson in a tag team match.

Preliminary matches
The event kicked off with a match between Jerry Lynn and Lance Storm. Lynn hit a diving hurricanrana but his injured ribs gave up and Storm hit a knee in Lynn's ribs and pinned him with an inside cradle for the win.

After the match, Simon Diamond cut a promo, bringing out Tom Marquez, the newest graduate of House of Hardcore. Jazz interrupted him and then Diamond insulted Jazz, leading to a match between Jazz and Marquez. Jazz nailed a Jazz Stinger to Marquez for the win. Diamond attacked Jazz after the match and Tony DeVito joined Diamond in the assault. Chris Chetti and Nova made the save, leading to them facing Diamond and DeVito in a tag team match. Danny Doring and Roadkill interrupted the match by attacking the competitors, resulting in the match ending in a no contest. A bunch of wrestlers tried to stop Roadkill and a brawl occurred until New Jack brought his trashcan of weapons and attacked everyone with the weapons.

Next, Super Crazy, Yoshihiro Tajiri and Little Guido competed in a Three-Way Dance. Crazy eliminated Guido by hitting a Moonsault. The action continued between Crazy and Tajiri. Tajiri blocked Crazy's triple moonsault with a kick to the face and hit a brainbuster for the win.

Next, Sabu took on Justin Credible. After multiple interference by Bill Alfonso and Jason, Credible nailed a That's Incredible to Sabu on a steel chair for the win.

Later, Taz was scheduled to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Masato Tanaka until Taz spotted Mike Awesome in the crowd and invited him to join the match as the third competitor and begin it as a three-way dance. Tanaka delivered a Roaring Elbow to Taz, followed by Awesome hitting an Awesome Splash on Taz and then both men pinned Taz to eliminate him. Tanaka attempted to drive Awesome through a table with a superplex but Awesome countered it into an Awesome Bomb onto the table to win the title. After the match, Taz handed over the title to Awesome and the three men shook hands with each other.

In the following match, Tommy Dreamer and Raven defended the World Tag Team Championship against Rhino and Steve Corino. Raven and Dreamer hit simultaneous DDTs on Jack Victory and Corino respectively and pinned them to retain the titles.  Originally Corino was going to bring in the Insane Clown Posse as a surprise to face Dreamer and Raven.  ICP's management pulled them from the show, resulting in the change to the card.

Main event matches
Rob Van Dam was scheduled to defend the World Television Championship against Johnny Smith in the main event. Before the match, Axl Rotten cut a promo, in which he challenged Mike Awesome to a match for the World Heavyweight Championship but he was interrupted by The Impact Players and Johnny Smith, who attacked Rotten until Balls Mahoney and Spike Dudley made the save for Rotten. Mahoney hit a chair shot to Smith, which took him out and he substituted for Smith against RVD. Mahoney ducked a Van Daminator by RVD and hit him with a chair to cover him for the pinfall but Bill Alfonso broke the pin by hitting Mahoney with the chair. Mahoney went after Alfonso and got distracted, allowing RVD to hit a Van Daminator and a Five-Star Frog Splash on Mahoney to retain the title.

Reception
Arnold Furious of Wrestling Recaps wrote "Simply an incredible 3 hours worth of wrestling. If they'd actually booked matches for Dreamer/Raven v Corino/Rhino and Nova/Chetti v Diamond/partner then we'd be looking at one of the greatest PPV's ever. I can't praise this enough." According to him, the opening match between Lance Storm and Jerry Lynn and the two three-way dance matches were the best matches of the show.

Scott Keith of 411Mania wrote "Two very good matches make it had to pass this one up, but Paul E's other booking is so crack-influenced at times that I have to wonder if he's actively trying to piss off certain portions of his audience."

Kevin Pantoja of 411Mania gave a score rating of 6.5 out of 10 as he wrote "A good show from ECW with a great opener, two fun three way dances and a decent Television Title match. It's a historic show though as Mike Awesome wins the ECW World Title and wasn't even advertised to be on the show."

The ePhyto Project Technical Committee(PTC)/ePhyto Steering Group (ESG) met during the week of May 28 in Dublin, Ireland. The meeting was graciously hosted by the Irish Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine. The meeting was successful on a number of levels. The PTC agreed that the ePhyto Hub is now open for business, meaning that interested IPPC Contracting Parties with the capacity to do so may now begin to integrate their existing national systems into the Hub. The PTC also presented the current status of the Generic National System (GeNS) by the United Nations International Computing Center (UNICC), and members provided significant input into what will be the final version for use in the GeNS pilot beginning in September. The intention is for the entire ePhyto Solution to be open for business by January 2019.
The PTC was also provided with a presentation and final draft of a proposed short-term (five years) business model. A great deal of discussion took place within the meeting on the business model as well as the transition from an ePhyto project to an ePhyto operation. The overarching goal is to have a fully sustainable ePhyto operation by 2024, with a clear agreement that much remains to be done in order to arrive at that goal. A final business model will be presented to CPM-14 (2019) for approval.

O Beriev A-50 (OTAN "Mainstay") é uma aeronave soviética de Sistema Aéreo de Alerta e Controle baseada no avião cargueiro Ilyushin Il-76. Desenvolvido para substituir o obsoleto Tupolev Tu-126 "Moss", o A-50 voou pela primeira vez em 1978. Entrou em serviço em 1984, com cerca de 40 aeronaves produzidas até 1992.

Descrição

A tripulação de 15 pessoas para a missão deriva dos dados de sua grande antena de vigilância radar sobre a fuselagem do tipo rotodome, que possui um diâmetro de 9,00 m.

O A-50 pode controlar até 10 caças tanto para interceptação ar-ar como missões de ataque ar-terra. O A-50 é capaz de voar por 4 horas a 1000 km de sua base no peso máximo de decolagem. A aeronave pode também ser reabastecida por aeronaves tanque, como o Il-78.

O radar "Vega-M" foi projetado pela MNIIP, Moscou, e produzido pela Vega Radio Engineering Corporation.  O "Vega-M" é capaz de rastrear até 50 alvos simultaneamente em um raio de 230 quilômetros. Alvos grandes, como navios, podem ser rastreados de uma distância de 400 km.

Após completar os testes, a Beriev entregou sua primeira aeronave AEW&C atualizada para a Força Aérea Russa. A aeronave, '47 Red'/RF-92957 foi entregue nas instalações da Beriev em Taganrog, no dia 31 de Outubro de 2011. Foi aceita por uma tripulação servindo o 2457º Aviabaza Boevogo Primeneniya Samolotov Dalnego Radiolokatsionnogo Obnaruzheniya (Base de Aviação para Operações de Combate de Aeronaves de Sistema Aéreo de Alerta e Controle) em Ivanovo Severny, que é a única base utilizando operacionalmente o A-50. O 2457º opera um total de 16 aeronaves. Uma segunda aeronave, o '33 Red' foi atualizado e entregue em 2012. Estes são os únicos dois modelos de produção atualizados até Janeiro de 2012, mas a Beriev está antecipando pedidos futuros.

O trabalho do desenvolvimento do A-50U iniciou alguns anos atrás e os testes foram iniciados em 10 de Setembro de 2008, usando o A-50 '37 Red' da Força Aérea Russa como protótipo. O principal elemento da modernização envolve substituir os equipamentos analógicos desatualizados com novos aviônicos digitais disponibilizados pela Vega Radio Engineering Corporation. Melhorias notáveis também estão incluídas, tais como processamento mais rápido de dados, sinal de rastreio melhorado e detecção melhorada de alvo. Instalações para descanso da tripulação, galley e banheiros também foram colocados.

Estas melhorias foram a base do conceito para o Beriev A-100 AEW&C. A configuração será similar ao A-50U, mas com um novo radar Vega Premier com varredura eletrônica ativa. O A-100 tem direcionamento eletrônico em elevação, ao contrário das versões anteriores do A-50, que tem a antena digitalizada mecanicamene em 20° de elevação, mas o digitalização em azimute é mecânica, a exemplo do E-2D Hawkeye que segue a mesma configuração, com uma volta a cada 5 segundos, o que confere boa capacidade de rastrear alvos voando rápido, a meta de detecção do Vega Premier é de 600km para 1m².

A-50A rastreia de 50 a 60 alvos com meta de detecção de aproximadamente 220km para 1m². A-50M rastreia 150 alvos, com meta de detecção de aproximadamente 250km para 1m². A-50U rastreia 300 alvos, com meta de detecção de aproximadamente 350km para 1m². A-50A mantém datalink direto com 12 caças, e orienta mais 15 por comando de voz. A-50M mantém datalink direto com 15 caças, e orienta mais 15 por comando de voz. A-50U mantém datalink direto com 25 caças, e orienta mais 15 por comando de voz. O A-50U também pode monitorar veículos em terra, com meta de detecção de 250km para uma coluna de blindados. Também detecta helicópteros pairando no ar(pela reflexão do rotor), em aproximadamente 100km de distância. O A-50U tem ótima capacidade ECCM, podendo operar em ambiente de contra-medidas eletrônicas densas. A substituição dos equipamentos analogicos pelos digitais no A-50U, permitiu reduzir muito o peso, e liberar espaço interno, melhorando o conforto para a tripulação.

advocating related education reforms to integrate National Board Certification into American education and to capitalize on the expertise of National Board Certified Teachers.
Recognized as the "gold standard" in teacher certification, the National Board believes higher standards for teachers means better learning for students. Founded in 1987, the National Board began by engaging teachers in the development of standards for accomplished teaching and in the building of an assessment – National Board Certification – that validly and reliably identifies when a teacher meets those standards. Today, there are 25 certificate areas that span 16 content areas and four student developmental levels. The essence of the National Board's vision of accomplished teaching is captured in the enduring document "What Teachers Should Know and Be Able to Do," at the heart of which are the Five Core Propositions.
Want to learn more about what teachers should know and be able to do? Please download the National Board's What Teachers Should Know and Be Able to Do guide that articulates their approach to the Five Core Propositions for teaching.
A computer-based assessment asks you to demonstrate your understanding of content knowledge and pedagogical practices for teaching your content area. You must demonstrate knowledge of developmentally appropriate content, which is necessary for teaching across the full age range and ability level of your chosen certificate area. This is assessed through the completion of three constructed response exercises and 45 selected response items.
This classroom-based portfolio entry requires that candidates gather and analyze information about individual students' strengths and needs and use that information to design and implement instruction to advance student learning and achievement. You will submit selected work samples that demonstrate the students' growth over time and a written commentary that analyzes your instructional choices.
This is a classroom-based portfolio entry that requires video recordings of interactions between you and your students. You will also submit a written commentary in which you describe, analyze and reflect on your teaching and interactions with students. Both the video and the written commentary should demonstrate how you engage students and impact their learning.
This portfolio entry requires you to demonstrate evidence of your abilities as an effective and reflective practitioner in developing and applying knowledge of your students; your use of assessments to effectively plan for and positively impact your students' learning; and your collaboration to advance students' learning and growth.
For more information about the four components of the certification process, please visit National Board's website.
The certification process is more flexible than ever. Set your own pace and sequence throughout the process. You may take up to three years to complete the four components, and you may complete the components in any sequence. You have two opportunities to retake a component, if needed, and each component may be paid for separately.

Q: VueJS: Getting values from multiple checkbox binding in textboxes So I saw a simple example of multiple checkboxes from Vue's Docs here. The value for each selected checkbox is added to a bound array which is fine.
However for the app I am building I need a similar functionality but I want to be able to show values of checked checkboxes in corresponding textboxes.
Here is an example of that.
What I am looking for is the value of each selected checkbox should be shown in corresponding textbox just below it.
N.B:  I have a really big form and the form is generated dynamically which means I cannot create multiple bindings/data vars. I am looking for a way that just works based on the main checkedNames binding.
I thought of adding v-model="checkedNames" but it adds the same value in all textboxes not the one above it.
This should be simple but I am new to Vue so I can not figure out how to do this.

A: Try the following code, I have made some changes in your code
HTML
<input type="checkbox" id="jack" value="Jack" v-model="checkedNames">
Jack
<input type="checkbox" id="john" value="John" v-model="checkedNames2">
John
<input type="checkbox" id="mike" value="Mike" v-model="checkedNames3">
Mike

<input type="text" v-model="checkedNames">
<input type="text" v-model="checkedNames2">
<input type="text" v-model="checkedNames3">

JS
new Vue({
  el: 'body',
  data: {
    checkedNames: [],
    checkedNames2: [],
    checkedNames3: []
  }
});

For dynamic inputs
You can use something like this:
HTML:

  <input type="checkbox" name="jack{{n}}" id="jack{{n}}" value="Jack{{n}}" v-model="checkedNames[n]" >
  Jack{{n}}
  <input type="text" v-model="checkedNames[n]">

JS:
var testComponent = new Vue({
  el: 'body',
  data: {
    checkedNames: [],
    numberOfInputs: 5
  },
  methods: {
    pageLoaded: function () {
      for(i=0;i<this.numberOfInputs;i++)
      {
           this.checkedNames.push([]);
      }
    }
  }

});

testComponent.pageLoaded()

Instead of v-for="n in 5" you can loop an array of form input data.
You can create an array of form list and give a unique id(instead of n) of each item and loop it, to generate form items.

As we approach Spring and the air starts to get a little warmer, we wanted to reflect on all the good things about that season on the other end of the spectrum, as we feature this incredible Autumn Romance styled shoot.
With Summergrove Estate recently being named the best reception venue at the 2018 ABIA (Australian Bridal Industry Academy) awards, it was the perfect backdrop to highlight the creative magic from these local wedding suppliers.
Tweed Coast Weddings supplier, JJ Style Co. were the style extraordinaires behind this swoon-worthy shoot.
I think you will agree with us when we say the result of the collective hard work from this group of talented suppliers (listed at the bottom of this post for you!) is beautifully unconventional and oh so dreamy.

Q: Xcode 12 Simulator banner reads "MyApp pasted from CoreSimulatorBridge" Starting in Xcode 12, when my app launches in Simulator, a banner temporarily appears at the top. It reads "MyApp pasted from CoreSimulatorBridge".
The banner is styled differently than anything in my app. I am certain it comes from Simulator itself. I have noticed it in every simulated device: iPhone 11, iPhone 8, iPhone 11 Pro Max, and probably others.
What does this mean? Does it indicate something bad or is it merely informational?
I did not notice this in Xcode 12.0.1. I first noticed it in Xcode 12.4.

A: It's the same banner that appears whenever an app reads the clipboard, either intentionally by the user tap doing some kind of paste, or in the background by frameworks that are grabbing the clipboard contents.
CoreSimulatorBridge is the iOS process that is mirroring your Mac's clipboard to the simulator.
If you aren't grabbing the clipboard, perhaps one of the 3rd-party frameworks you're using is?

A: In my case this was because of an old version of Admob. I went through my game and disabled everything and it only went away when disabled GoogleMobileAds framework.
Jesus Christ, Google!


On top of that, don't get worried to use multiple colors combined with design. Even if a specific furniture of uniquely decorated fixtures could seem weird, you will discover tricks to tie home furniture all together to make sure they are blend to the large outdoor lanterns nicely. In case using color scheme is generally considered acceptable, please ensure that you never have an area that have no cohesive color, as this can make the room become unrelated and chaotic.
Show all your main subject with large outdoor lanterns, choose whether you surely will love that choice for years from today. If you are within a strict budget, carefully consider performing everything you by now have, have a look at your existing lanterns, and see if it is possible to re-purpose them to go with your new theme. Designing with lanterns is a good technique to provide the home a wonderful look and feel. In addition to unique designs, it will help to have some tips on enhancing with large outdoor lanterns. Always be true to your own theme in the event you take into consideration other design, home furnishings, and product selections and furnish to make your room a warm also pleasing one.
There are a lot of locations you may insert the lanterns, so consider relating placement areas and also set items according to size of the product, color style, subject also themes.

Big lanterns, fundamental components need to be appropriate with small to medium sized or even less important objects.


Telecoms.com periodically invites expert third parties to share their views on the industry's most pressing issues. In this piece Neil Shah, Research Director, Devices & Ecosystems at Counterpoint Technology Market Research, Looks at some of the unique features and possibilities that 5G will bring.
Every decade has dawned on a new generation of cellular technology. The next decade will be all about the 5th Generation (or 5G) of 3GPP-led cellular standards. However, unlike 1G to 4G, which dealt with personal transformation, with 5G, the telecoms industry will roll-out network features and technologies that will drive digital transformation across society and enterprises.
5G is poised to drive significant improvements in capacity, throughput, latency and reliability. These can be combined to offer a plethora of new use-cases beyond personal communications. The capacity improvements will enable massive machine-type-communication (mMTC) on one end, while the lower latency capability will drive mission-critical machine-type-communication on the other. The different connected IoT applications, falling between these two, can be more efficiently deployed and managed within 5G networks and will drive social and business transformations at scale.
The full benefits of 5G won't be unlocked at first. The initial deployments in Non-Standalone (NSA) mode, based on 3GPP Release 15 specifications, where 5G NSA will leverage the existing LTE core network (EPC) and radio infrastructure. As a result, we will see the major focus on 5G use-cases around Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) to provide greater bandwidth, throughput, capacity and connection reliability thanks to two new higher-order GHz radio frequency ranges, referred to as New Radio (NR).
5G NR NSA deployments will continue to rollout globally for at least the next three years. The focus will be on building denser urban Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) networks with an aim to offer fiber-like broadband access in-premises and outdoors. The key use-cases will include: bandwidth-intensive 4K UHD video; Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR), and multi-point-of-view live video. Additional use cases will include cloud-based thin client computing to high-capacity and high-speed secure public hotspots. Throughputs of 20Gbps theoretical peak data speeds outdoors, and 100s of Mbps indoors, will help realize these use cases. Video content has been the most popular category and consistently taken the lion's share of operators' network traffic globally. Designing networks to constantly meet the content evolution is critical.
Furthermore, the breakout in IoT connections will be driven by 5G-NB (Narrowband) deployments that leverage key 5G technologies such as RSMA (Resource Spread Multiple Access) and Multi-hop Mesh Networks. RSMA will drive optimization for sporadic small-data bursts from tens of thousands of 5G IoT devices and a Multi-hop Mesh Network will solve coverage issues due to the fragmented placement of low-power IoT devices. These can help create cost and power savings. 5G-NB is designed to complement the evolving cellular Low Power Wireless Access (LPWA) technologies such as Release 13/14/15/16 specifications-based NB-IoT and LTE-M. The combination of these technologies will drive hundreds of millions of IoT connections globally across enterprises and wider society over the next decade.
The next phase of 5G rollouts based on 3GPP Release 16 specifications and specifically Standalone (SA) mode will drive the inflection point for the 5G era. 5G SA will comprise a standalone 5G radio (5G-NR) and 5G core (5GC), a simplified architecture not anchored to legacy networks. This will enable key mission critical low-latency IoT applications also known as Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (uRLLC), never previously possible. uRLLC will unlock new IoT applications such as factory automation, remote robotics, remote surgery, highly- synchronized autonomous transport systems, tactile internet and likely many more unforeseen use cases. These applications require highly-reliable low-latency connections in the order of sub-5 milliseconds and even down to 1 millisecond, in some scenarios.

A monument built to commemorate Magnitogorsk's crucial production of supplies during World War II.
Stalin had a clear agenda for what he wanted to get done in the Soviet economy. The base of the society rests on if they can get food, so naturally agriculture is very important to the success of an economy. Due to the poor results he was getting from the agricultural sector, he sought to find new ways to inspire production from the Soviet people.
In "Dizzy with Success" (1930) Stalin discusses the need to temper growing enthusiasm in the socialist state and the socialist system. It is interesting to note that this was necessary. In America, students are still raised on ideas born of the Cold War: communism is evil; the people are never happy under communism. This piece contradicts these foundational American ideas.

HTC made the announcement earlier this week that the company would go by its own brand name for the first time in China, and now the deal has gotten sweeter with the fact that all Android phones headed there will have Froyo pre-installed.
Four HTC models have been confirmed to sell in China: the Desire, Wildfire, Tianxi and Tianyi. Each one is promised to have both Android 2.2 and the HTC Sense interface. Not a bad way to get consumers to jump on your brand's bandwagon.
Meanwhile, current owners of HTC smartphones in most other places are still waiting for a Froyo upgrade. Some models are expected to get the update in August, like the Droid Incredible, but we're still holding out for an official announcement.


I'm worried that I might be disclosing too much information about my inner thought life to the people on the blog. I do a pretty good job of managing my insecurities (crap, just spilled my jack and coke – hang on … ok, back) but when they're out in the open like this, they seem so much more real, and that makes me vulnerable. How much disclosure is too much? But, if I don't tell them the truth about what I think, am I being honest with them? I'm just so tired of all the masks. I want to be authentic.

We Need a National Cyber Defense Agency
If you're like most Americans, the idea that our country doesn't have a unified cyber defense agency is about as unthinkable as a presidential contest between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Welcome to the desert of the real.
Our cyber defenses are scattered across three agencies that don't always communicate well (a generous appraisal) or in a timely fashion, and we've never been more vulnerable. As Ronald Reagan (quoting John Adams) famously said during his address to the 1988 Republican National Convention, "Facts are stubborn things."
On October 21, there was a cyber attack in the United States. At least two "cause hacking" organizations have taken credit for it. If it had been conducted by state-sponsored hackers, it would have been an act of war. How many of your friends and family know about it? A lot, if they only knew how it affected them.
A distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) at around 7 a.m. EDT targeted servers belonging to a company called Dyn, causing severe disruption of Internet traffic to major sites, including Amazon, PayPal, Reddit, Twitter, Tumblr, Verizon, Pinterest, Etsy, Spotify, Comcast, HBO, and even Playstation; the first attack was followed by at least two more attacks.
A Dyn statement said: "this was a sophisticated, highly distributed attack involving 10s of millions of IP addresses." The way this attack was perpetrated matters. Targeted here were Internet of Things (IoT) devices wrangled together in a botnet that took advantage of weak default passwords set by their manufacturers. These connected and interconnected items (think home routers, smart televisions and security cameras to name a few) were infected with malware and then triggered to send a staggering amount of traffic to select servers in order to overwhelm them and ultimately shut them down.
This is way beyond inconvenience. In 2012, a DDoS attack took out the websites of JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, and other financial companies.
Imagine for a moment that the October 21 DDoS attack had been a test conducted by state-sponsored hackers — and consider, if you will, the possibility that those hackers were gaming a bigger plan — one targeting critical infrastructure such as our power grid, the banking system, our weapons systems, or one designed to disrupt our elections.
The 2015 attack on the Office of Personnel Management, the human resources department for the United States, where 21.5 million files, containing the personally identifying information of, and deep background investigative reports on, top current and retired national security players and their families, were grabbed should be reason enough to focus serious resources at the problem of our national cyber security.
A more recent attack, equally troubling no matter your political outlook, is the hack of Democratic National Committee emails. We are living in a world where hackers have the capability to disrupt our elections, put key military assets in danger, and shut down our financial institutions.
As things stand currently, the NSA is responsible for protecting national security systems and the DHS takes care of all other security systems. The FBI's job is to investigate cyber crimes.
Because each agency has to enlist one or both of the others to help, the process can be slowed down, which means precious leads can go cold and clear and present dangers can unfold without an optimal defense.
Three Agencies Need to Be One
On October 18, NSA Deputy National Manager for National Security Systems, Curtis Dukes, gave a speech at the American Enterprise Institute detailing two years worth of cyber attacks. During the Q&A, he stated that it was time for a more unified approach to our cyber defenses.
"I am now firmly convinced that we need to rethink how we do cyber defense as a nation," Dukes stated, saying that parts of the response teams at the FBI, NSA, and DHS might be combined under one authority to both improve reaction time during a cyber attack and oversee our nation's defenses against future attacks. He pointed to the UK's National Cyber Security Centre, which currently approaches cyber in this way.
In a different setting, a call for a three-in-one approach would start a heated discussion about the need for the separation of Church and State, but the three-in-one proposed here requires no mystery and no Holy Ghost. In fact, the only mystery is why we still don't have an agency dedicated to cyber defense.

Swindon goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux produced a spectacular string of saves to earn his side a goalless draw at home to Southend.
The draw for the Shrimpers was enough to see their unbeaten streak in the league extend to 13 games but it could have been even better.
Swindon created the first chance after six minuted when Anton Rodgers' corner found Raphael Rossi-Branco unmarked but the defender had his shot saved by Ted Smith.
The home side let another opportunity go begging in the 27th minute after John Obika leapt above Michael Timlin at the far post but he was unable to direct his header on target.
Southend should have taken the lead seven minutes later when Anthony Wordsworth played a cross into Simon Cox but he was unable to reach the ball for a tap in.
Vigouroux produced a heroic double save in the 77th minute, firstly denying Jason Demetriou from close range and then substitute Zavon Hines.
The Frenchman was on hand again four minutes later to parry Hines' left-foot shot on to the post.

Cornwall is a very laid back area to travel to and one of the greatest pleasures that tourists have is simply strolling along the gorgeous footpaths on the coastline. The cliff tops are over flowing with many kinds of wild flowers which makes this area very pleasurable to the eyes and the senses. There are many other wonders available to you as well as deserted coves.
If you happen to be a surfer then Cornwall offers you some of the best riding waves in all of the United Kingdom. With wet suit technology improving in leaps and bounds over the years you can now surf in the Atlantic all year round when before you had to limit the surfing to the summer months or be threatened with freezing to death.
Climbing offers the truly adventurous spirit a chance to become one with Cornwall's cliffy landscape. You can climb to tremendous heights on granite cliffs as well as picturesque island sites. Cornwall is the official home of sea-cliff climbing and has rock faces for all levels of experience.
If keeping your feet planted on dirt isn't for you then you may wish to try coasteering. It's the perfect tourist plan for those of us who want more than just strolling along a beach. You can explore bogs, coves and crags in remote areas as well as swim in the surf.
Mountain boarding uses all-terrain boards much like body boards are used in the ocean. They go on sand, turf, dirt and roads. The activity is becoming widely popular among extreme sports enthusiasts. Cornwall offers the diverse landscape that mountain boarding really needs in order to flourish.
Your feet are firmly planted upon a surfboard as a "power kite" is let go and you are launched across the ocean by the power of the wind. It's a fusion of windsurfing, surfing and wake boarding. One you've mastered kite surfing you will never want to stop as it is a fun, exciting and thrilling activity.
If you are more into relaxed vacations and these activities seem a bit extreme for you don't worry as we've got plenty of things to keep you extremely busy. We offer some of the best waters for surfing and wake boarding and the terrain is just splendid for either a leisurely ride on a bicycle or a more extreme version of downhill or mountain bike racing. We also offer great, steady waters for sailing if you want to rent a sciff for fishing or a yacht for a party we've got that too! If you love and enjoy wild life and wish to explore on your own you can stroll along the white sandy beaches or through many of the trails we offer here. You can also hop on the back of a horse and go for a strut or a run.
No matter your tastes or the length of your stay I'm sure we have something that will keep you occupied and wanting to come back year after year.


So how can you use digital marketing tools to get in on this action and reach a wider audience? We've gathered a few of our favourite tools for beginners and provided some examples!
Google Trends is exactly what it says on the tin; a Google digital marketing tool that analyses search results and shows existing trends. Using this information, you can see which topics are hot, how popular your company's sector is, where the most searches for a certain topic are and a plethora of other useful, data oriented results. For instance, did you know that Lucan is the second most popular place for 'Guinness' to be searched for in Ireland? Well, thanks to Google Trends, now you do.
If you haven't heard of AdWords Express by Google, you really to need to get yourself into the 21st century. It's Pay-per-Click (PPC) system makes it accessible to both large and small budgets, and it's easy interface enables anyone to make their own ad. Google even provides you with insights, such as views, clicks and popular keywords used to find the ad. Though it takes time to successfully tailor your ads to your desired audience, it is a skill worth having in your arsenal.
Paired with AdWords, Google Analytics is particularly insightful, allowing you to dig deep into your website's activity. Use it to see how many people view your site, where they're located, what keywords drive traffic, bounce rates, where dropouts occur etc, etc. It's cumbersome at the start, but once you get the hang of it, it will prove to be of great benefit to your digital marketing campaigns, as you see what you're doing well and not so well. Bonus Tip: use the 'Referrals' (under 'Acquisition') tool to gather what websites or links your users are coming from; this will allow you to see what content your audience likes best.
Breaking away from the Google tools, social media platforms are an excellent, and often free, form of digital marketing that allow you to reach audiences specific to your company. The likes of Twitter and Facebook are great for getting to know your audience and adding a personal side to your business. Facebook goes even further and provides an ad service (you might need some tips for Facebook Ads, it's a bit tricky) which is extremely direct and focused towards the people you choose, often yielding great results. Elsewhere, LinkedIn is best at facilitating networking, advertising to business professionals and sharing blog-posts of your choice. Whichever one(s) you pick, if managed well, your following will grow, which could turn into profitable leads.
Lastly, but certainly not least, Trends 24 allows you to see which Twitter topics are trending. Not only is this beneficial for your social media posts, it's also an insight into what people are interested in. If you could tailor your ads, services or products to this, it would help to better meet the needs of consumers. As a digital marketing tool, it's one of the simple ones to use; click into the site and everything is displayed in front of you.
To conclude, there are many digital marketing tools which can help you with your marketing campaigns. Some are easier than others to use, and the aforementioned ones won't be enough if you want to truly and deeply penetrate the market and compete with the market-leading companies. However, they're as good a start as any. If you wish to upgrade from these or perhaps have experienced professionals optimise the digital marketing strategies you have set up, Aspire Digital in Dublin are always happy to assist.


I don't even want to give it one star. The nurses roll their eyes when asking them for help. My dad is blind and an amputee. They take long to get to the room so they can assist him to go to the restroom. It seems like if they ALL hate their job!!!!! More than one nurse had an attitude and they would roll their eyes!!!!! I hated it.
Very nice facility! Good south Dallas location, was on the bus route and they even allowed smoking in some areas. Beautiful facility inside and out.
I moved my mom from a center in Bossier City, LA (neglectful place) to the Villa at Mountain View. My daughter looked long and hard for a good center for my mom to call home because the stress of moving is not healthy for stroke victims. We wanted one move and one move only. The Villa was it. My mom was a resident at the Villa while Jeff Hilburn was the executive director. During that time Jeff and his staff took excellent care of my mother until she passed away nearly 6- years after she moved in. One thing I can say about the staff there, during my mom's stay; I would voice my concerns and they took my inquiries seriously-- with change. My mom suffered no abuse as she did in Bossier City, LA. Regardless of where your family members are, be proactive. See them as often as you can. It makes a difference for them and you! With those of you that have problems with the Villa, I hope everything is worked out for the better; and may God Bless your family members and you as well!
I would have gave them 4 star's but when I tried to get my mother Elisa Hernandez out of there they gave me a hard time, they even told me that they would have to call CPS on me cause I was putting my mother at health risk cause of her heart, but they never ever showed me the paperwork of her ??problems and she's was on hospice, but they even said it takes time, process but I told another hospice place so I could bring her home and bamm she's coming home the next day.. Then as I was picking her up and packing up her clothes she only had 3 pants, between me and my sister Cindy and my wife we have bought so many for her, plus other clothes. Then that's not all they asked me for the payment so this tells you it's only about having your relatives there so they can get there money not about caring for them, but like I said they would have gotten maybe 4 star's from me but the lady in charge was really big liar, she talks like she cares up front then she turns into Dr Jekyll.. This is my mother's 3rd nursing home, got her at home now with me. now I have to buy some new? clothes for her, but don't get me wrong there are some good employees there like the nurse Michelle that took care of my mother, the lady at the front desk when you walk in. So think hard about taking your loved one here. I'm looking for another nursing home nxt month for my mother.. But God bless you all?
The Villa At Mountain View was reviewed by Medicare to have a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
Medicare determines the expected staffing time per resident per day depending on level of care the residents of The Villa At Mountain View require. It is important to compare the reported time to expected time for a single facility instead of comparing the amount of time per resident of two facilities. Learn why.


Summary: Through new skills learned as part of Banteay Srei's climate change project, Vann Sovath has increased her farm's productivity, making it more resilient to droughts and flooding.
"There is lots of flooding in this area, even my papaya tree was destroyed by the flood two years ago," Vann Sovath, volunteer community facilitator for agriculture in Kok Dong village says.
As part of Banteay Srei's climate change project in Siem Reap province, which began in 2011, Sovath and 20 other families from three villages received seeds and advanced training on vegetable growing to improve their ability to cope in the rainy season. "I learned how to use seedlings, how to prepare the soil, how to use irrigation with less water and how to grow flood resistant crops such as eggplant, runner beans, cucumber and green garlic," Sovath explains.
Sovath's family garden is impressive. With the small profit she has made from selling her vegetables, she has gradually been able to build on the land she inherited from her father by buying additional neighbouring plots of land. Sovath sells her produce every morning in the market. "Everything is always sold out by 10am," she says proudly.
Before the climate change project, Sovath, like most Cambodian farmers, used chemical fertiliser to grow her vegetables. As part of the climate change project, participants were taught about the negative effects of chemical use on the environment, and shown how to make organic fertiliser. "Before there was so much pig and duck manure in the village with such a bad smell. Now it all goes on my vegetables," Sovath says smiling.
Sovath's new skills in vegetable growing are not only better for the environment, they are also much more lucrative, as organic, chemical free vegetables sell for almost double the price of normal vegetables at the local market. After Banteay Srei invited the director of the local market to come and see the climate change project and to learn about the benefits of cooking with organic food, he instigated a new scheme where all the organic sellers in the market could be identified by a green and yellow apron. "Only three other women in the market have the organic apron, it means we can sell our produce for more," Sovath explains. For example, organic sellers are able to sell one kilo of broccoli for 6000 riel (approximately $1.5), whereas the non-organic sellers can only sell the same vegetable for 3000 riel (approximately $0.75), a kilo. "But people still prefer my vegetables as they are aware of the negative effects of chemicals on their health," says Sovath proudly.
Sovath shares her new knowledge of organic and drought resistant farming with other villagers through her role as community facilitator, encouraging her neighbours to adopt the same techniques. "Now with the training I have received I am better prepared for the rainy season this year. I will grow more eggplant, grow more hanging vegetables and use bags to grow vegetables in the rainy season," Sovath says.
Married with four children, Sovath has big plans for her smallholding. She wants to make a pond for fish and she dreams of building a new house one day. "When my children are older I will encourage them not to migrate to other provinces but to farm our land. That way they can earn enough money to support themselves and live a good life," says Sovath.


How can I minimize the problems in getting a mortgage?
Try to find out what documentation the lender will require from you. Much of the information required by your lender can be brought with you when you apply for a loan.
Your bank account numbers, the address of your bank branch and your latest bank statement, plus pay stubs, W-2 forms, or other proof of employment and salary.
Ask the lender what has been their average time for processing loans recently and whether the lender's loan volume has increased.
Those who are rejected for a mortgage may be rejected because of a "credit score." To improve your credit score a few months before applying for a mortgage, pay down your credit cards; obtain a copy of your credit report so as to be able to dispute any errors; keep only a few credit cards, and do not apply for credit unless you really need it; start paying bills punctually (if you do not already do so)óyour recent history is counted heavily; if you havenít borrowed enough, take out a small loan or obtain a credit or charge card to beef up your credit history; and try not to change jobs.
A lock-in, also called a rate-lock or rate commitment, is a lender's promise to hold a certain interest rate and a certain number of points for you, usually for a specified period of time, while your loan application is processed. A lock-in that is given when you apply for a loan may be useful because it's likely to take your lender several weeks or longer to prepare, document, and evaluate your loan application.
An escrow account is a fund that your lender establishes in order to pay property taxes and hazard insurance as they become due on your home during the year. The lender uses the escrow account to guard its investment in your home. Similarly, if you neglected to pay the hazard insurance premium, a fire or flood that destroyed your home also would destroy the lender's security for the loan.
To cover possible tax or insurance increases, the federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) permits the lender to add to the yearly amount two months of extra payments prorated monthly. So, the lender would collect an additional $200 divided by 12, or $16.67 per month, for a total escrow payment of $116.67 per month.
To protect borrowers, the National Affordable Housing Act requires lenders or servicers to do the following.
They must give notify you at least 15 days before they sell your loan unless you received a written transfer notice at settlement. If your loan servicing is going to be sold, you should receive two noticesóone from the current servicer and one from the new mortgage servicer. The new servicer must notify you not more than 15 days after the transfer has occurred.
A statement that the transfer will not affect any terms or conditions of the contract you signed with the original mortgage company, other than terms directly related to the servicing of such loan.
For example, if your old lender did not require an escrow account, but allowed you to pay property taxes and insurance premiums on your own, the new servicer cannot demand that you establish such an account. They must grant a 60-day grace period, in which you cannot be charged a late fee if you mistakenly send your mortgage payment to the old mortgage servicer instead of the new one. Respond promptly to written inquiries. If you believe you have been improperly charged a penalty or late fee, or there are other problems with the servicing of your loan, contact your servicer in writing. Be sure to include your account number and explain why you believe your account is incorrect. Within 20 business days of receiving your inquiry, the servicer must send you a written response acknowledging your inquiry. Within 60 business days, the servicer must either correct your account or determine it is accurate. The servicer must send you a written notice of what action it took and why.
If you believe the servicer has not responded appropriately to your written inquiry, contact your local or state consumer protection office. You can also send your complaint to the FTC. Write to: Correspondence Branch, Federal Trade Commission, Washington, DC 20580. Or, may want to contact an attorney to advise you of your legal rights. Under the National Affordable Housing Act, consumers can initiate class action suits and obtain actual damages, plus additional damages, for a pattern or practice of noncompliance.
If you are able to cancel the insurance, you will receive any pre-paid premiums that are in your escrow account.
Lenders usually require private mortgage insurance if the loan is more than 80 percent of the home's purchase price. Even if you don't have the standard 20 percent down-payment, you can avoid paying private mortgage insurance in other ways. Some buyers go for 80-10-10 financing, which means that they put 10 percent down and take out a first mortgage for 80 percent of the purchase price. Sellers sometimes will carry a 10 percent second mortgage. Otherwise, you can finance the remainder through institutional lenders, which often charge a point above the first mortgage's rate.
Once you know what the costs will be, determine what your new payment would be if you refinanced. You can estimate how long it will take to recover the costs of refinancing by dividing your closing costs by the difference between your new and old payments (your monthly savings). Be aware that the amount you ultimately save depends on many factors, including your total refinancing costs, whether you sell your home in the near future, and the effects of refinancing on your taxes.
Refinancing can be a good idea for homeowners who want to get out of a high interest rate loan to take advantage of lower rates or those who have an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) and want a fixed-rate loan in order to know exactly what the mortgage payment will be for the life of the loan. It is also a good idea for those who want to convert to an ARM with a lower interest rate or more protective features than the ARM they currently have. Finally refinancing is recommended for those who want to build up equity more quickly by converting to a loan with a shorter term or want to draw on the equity built up in their house to get cash for a major purchase or for their children's education.
Pay it off if there aren't any better uses for your money. As loans go, mortgages have moderate interest rates, and interest payments are tax deductible. Any investment that yields substantially more than the interest rate on your mortgage is a good alternative. First take full advantage of tax-deferred retirement plans. Also be sure to get rid of your credit card balances. If you know you will just spend the money otherwise, paying off your mortgage is a good idea.
Make sure your loan has no prepayment penalty. You can make an extra payment once a year, pay every two weeks instead of every month, or just send in whatever you can afford above your normal monthly mortgage payment. The larger the extra payment and the sooner you make it, the faster your mortgage will be paid off and the more you will save in interest. Contact your lender to make sure your payments will be credited toward principal rather than future payments. There is no need to pay a third party to arrange extra mortgage payments.
There are two basic kinds of mortgages: fixed-rate and adjustable. Fixed-rate mortgages carry the lowest risk and are an especially good deal when interest rates are low. Adjustable-rate mortgages typically cost less, but they can become expensive if interest rates rise substantially. Some of them also amortize negatively, which means that your payment does not cover all the loan's interest for the month. Your balance will increase, and you will owe interest on the interest. You can get either loan for different terms, typically 15 or 30 years.
There are now many different kinds of mortgages that combine aspects of both fixed-rate and adjustable loans. A mortgage may start as a fixed-rate loan, for example, and then convert to an adjustable after several years. One loan that has been around a long time is a balloon. It has low, fixed payments for a period of years, and then the entire loan comes due. Considered very risky, it is sometimes used by a seller to help a buyer with the down payment. Banks now offer balloons that can convert to fixed-rate or adjustable mortgages.
You will save money by paying points and getting a lower interest rate if you intend to live in your house for a long time. Points are an up-front interest fee that generally increases as the mortgage interest rate decreases. Trading this fee for a higher interest rate will cost more over the life of the loan.
If you plan to be in your house for less than five years, however, it is cheaper to avoid paying points by taking a higher interest rate. You also might want to take the higher interest rate if it means you can then put enough cash down to avoid private mortgage insurance.

The Boss of It All
Originally Written and Posted at Epinions.com 3/11/09.
After the release of Manderlay in 2005, which was the second part of Lars von Trier's USA-Land of Opportunities trilogy. The eccentric yet controversial Danish director decided to take a break from his trilogy due to its budget as well as trouble to get the third part Wasington going for development. Instead, the director decided to experiment once again with new technology while making something completely different from any of his other films. Breaking away from his more dramatic work for a comedy, von Trier decided to make a film about a company boss selling his copy due to the fact that he has no superior to work for. The film is entitled Direktoren for det hele (The Boss of It All).
Written and directed by Lars von Trier, Direktoren for det hele is an experimental comedy about an information technology superior asking an actor to play his boss in hopes to sell his company. Using the Automavision software in which allows the computer to choose the shot of choice and to move the camera with the director watching. It's an experimental film that allows von Trier to play with technology while doing something less ambitious than his previous film trilogies. Starring Jens Albinus, Peter Gantzler, Fridrik Thor Fridriksson, Benedikt Erlingsson, Henrik Prip, Mia Lyhne, Casper Christensen, Iben Hjejle, Louise Mieritz, Anders Hove, Sofie Grabol, and von Trier regular Jean-Marc Barr. Direktoren for det hele is an eccentric, unconventional, and exhilarating film from Lars von Trier.
An IT boss named Ravn (Peter Gantzler) is planning to sell his company to an Icelandic company and its boss Finnur (Fridrik Thor Fridriksson). The only problem is that Ravn is not a traditional boss as his employees don't take him seriously because of his heartwarming persona. Ravn instead hires an actor named Kristoffer (Jens Albinus) to play the fake boss named Svend E. Kristoffer takes the job offer for some money but wanted more information to play his character. In the role of Svend, he meets his six main employees where he gets attacked by one of them named Gorm (Casper Christensen). Turning to Ravn for help, Kristoffer continues to develop the character of Svend while one of its senior officers in Lise (Iben Hjejle) suspects that he isn't who he really is as she tries to seduce him. Svend listens to the plans of Gorm and Nalle (Henrik Prip) about some patents while another employee named Heidi (Mia Lyhne) has a crush on him.
When Svend returns to his office one day as he expects another sexual session with Lise, he gets a surprise visit from his ex-wife Kisser (Sofie Grabol), who works as a lawyer for Finnur. Kristoffer turns to Ravn as things start to get troubling while Kristoffer becomes concerned for all of his employees including the despondent Mette (Louise Mieritz) and the American officer Spencer (Jean-Marc Barr). During a meeting with Finnur with a translator (Benedikt Erlingsson), Svend makes moves that would upset Ravn. Realizing of Ravn's intentions to sell the company along with information he heard from Kisser, Lise and other employees, he decides to expose Ravn for who he really is.
The film in von Trier's words is a comedy yet it's a film that doesn't have much humor when really, it's von Trier being the deconstructionist of a film about a company boss hiring an actor to play his boss for a deal. Then the actor takes on the role very seriously as he plays boss in hopes to expose the real boss of it all. The film's plot and story is simple though its approach is very unconventional as von Trier plays the film's narrator for a few scenes between the film to introduce new characters and such. Therefore, the fourth wall is broken, even in the beginning of the film with a shot of von Trier on a crane camera talking to his reflection on the building windows.
The direction is very unconventional as von Trier uses a computer for a lot of the shots he chooses. Also serving as the film's uncredited cinematographer, von Trier mostly goes for intimate shots where the look of the film would change from normal, white lights to a shot in light blue with filters in the office scenes. The film is shot mostly in a real office building with several locations for the meetings between Kristoffer and Ravn. It's clear that what von Trier is doing as a director is deconstruct the idea of a film as he's using technology to create a film that is unsettling and unpredictable. Though at times it doesn't work and does distorts its pacing, it's clearly a film that has von Trier being the unpredictable prankster that he is.
Editor Molly Marlene Stensgard does excellent work to the film's unconventional tone with a large use of the jump-cuts to create an unsettling, rhythmic feel to the film to make it seem jerky and baffling the audience a bit in terms of its dramatic tension. Set decorator Simone Grau does nice work with the look of the offices with its marker boards, desks, and various office decorations. Sound specialists Kristian Eidnes Andersen and Ad Stoop do nice work in capturing the intimate sounds of the film's interior locations along with the broad sound of the exterior locations where Ravn and Kristoffer meet.
The casting is phenomenal with mostly Danish and Icelandic actors filling in the role including Anders Hove as a man waiting to have a meeting with the head boss of the company. Longtime von Trier cohort Jean-Marc Barr is funny as an American trying to speak Danish throughout the film while Benedikt Erlingsson is good as Finnur's translator. Henrik Prip is good as the mild-mannered Nalle along with Louise Mieritz as the despondent, emotional Mette who often screams when the copy machine turns on. Casper Christensen is very good as a senior officer who gets upset over bad rural comments made by the boss while Mia Lyhne is excellent as Heidi, an officer who has a crush on Svend, especially over emails they shared. Sofie Grabol is fine as Kristoffer's ex-wife Kisser who knows what is really going on while annoying him eating peanuts with the peanut shells.
Fridrik Thor Fridriksson is pretty good as Finnur, an Icelandic company boss who despises the Danish people while hoping to get a deal so he can make changes out of anger. Iben Hjejle, famous for her work in Stephen Frears' High Fidelity, is great as Lise, a senior officer trying to figure out what's going on while seducing Svend for her own gain and to see if he's not a homosexual. Peter Gantzler is brilliant as Ravn, a sentimental, loveable boss who can't discipline or be mean to people as he turns to Kristoffer for help. Instead, when Kristoffer turns the tables on him, he suddenly becomes furious as he realizes what Kristoffer tries to do. Finally, there's Jens Albinus in an amazing role as Kristoffer. An actor who plays a role that doesn't become fully developed as the film progresses where he takes on the role fully while talking about the Gambini method throughout the entire film.
Direktoren for det hele is an excellent yet unconventional film from Lars von Trier. With a great cast and experimental approach to the film, it's one of von Trier's most interesting films to date. Though it's not an easy film to watch with its lack of a really strong story and lack of conventional humor. It's a film that has von Trier being the deconstructionist in how he views genres and storytelling. Even though it's a minor film from the director, Direktoren for det hele is still a film worthy to see from the brilliant yet unconventional prankster that is Lars von Trier.

This past summer I got to work on Nickelodeon's summer campaign. Our concept was to blend three separate animation techniques to create a unique and interesting look. Each bumper was shot practically, using stop motion replacement animation and 3D printed models, and then traditionally animated faces and effects were added in compositing. I got to handle a large portion of the modeling and shot planning in Maya before animating during the three day stop-motion shoot. This was my first stop motion shoot at Nickelodeon and I had a ton of fun. It was interesting going through the 3D printing process as well. I learned a lot.
