Installation company TechLED was recently called upon to deliver the external lighting upgrade project for Grosvenor Casinos' The Victoria, London – the jewel in the crown of the Grosvenor Casinos estate. To meet the requirements of a prestige 24/7 leisure venue, IP68-rated Flex Pro Exterior from Acclaim Lighting was specified for its endurance and reliability.
The exterior refreshment followed hard on the heels of an extensive and impressive internal refurbishment that was designed and implemented, along with the lighting design, by architectural practice Roberts Limbrick, longstanding design partners for Grosvenor Casinos.
Over 700m of Acclaim Lighting Flex Pro Exterior was deployed across the two elevations of the corner-situated venue. The product, which can be cut to the exact length requirement, was mounted on metal extrusions fixed through the newly PPC-clad wall surface.
Light pollution boundaries were imposed on each elevation. Accordingly, the Flex Pro Exterior was fitted with Acclaim Lighting's AL Dimmer 1 Pro DMX dimmer packs to reduce brightness to 70% on one elevation and 50% on the other. The AL Dimmer 1 Pro is a single-channel DMX + 0-10V dimming driver for low-voltage LED fixtures.
Lighting control was handled by Acclaim Lighting's ART 500 touch panel DMX Controller, which boasts 1,024 DMX channels and 500 preset scenes, designed to be the most effective control solution for architectural lighting. The easy-to-navigate ART 500 software package includes powerful control features, such as the dusk-to-dawn timer deployed on one elevation of the casino, and the automated timing function for more stringent control on the other.

Pentamode Metamaterial Opens New Possibilities in Transformation Acoustics
TOPICS:Karlsruhe Institute of TechnologyMetafluidNanomaterialsNanostructures
By Karlsruhe Institute of Technology May 8, 2012
Pentamode metamaterials almost behave like fluids. Their manufacture opens new possibilities in transformation acoustics. (Source: CFN, KIT)
A team of scientists have created new material class through the manufacturing of a stable crystalline metafluid. The pentamode metamaterial is extremely light and displays mechanical behavior that is determined by the acuteness and length of the individual "sugar loaves."
A research team lead by Professor Martin Wegener at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has succeeded in realizing a new material class through the manufacturing of a stable crystalline metafluid, a pentamode metamaterial. Using new nanostructuring methods, these materials can now be realized for the first time with any conceivable mechanical properties. The researchers will present their results in the cover story of the May issue of Applied Physics Letters. (DOI 10.1063/1.4709436)
The Rubicon was crossed, so to speak, at the DFG Center for Functional Nanostructures (CFN) and at the Institute of Applied Physics (AP) in Karlsruhe during the past few months. Eventually, numerous three-dimensional transformation acoustics ideas, for example inaudibility cloaks, acoustic prisms or new loudspeaker concepts, could become reality in the near future.
So far, pentamodes, proposed in 1995 by Graeme Milton and Andrej Cherkaev, have been purely theoretical: The mechanical behavior of materials such as gold or water is expressed in terms of compression and shear parameters. Whereas the phenomenon that water, for example, can hardly be compressed in a cylinder is described through the compression parameter, the fact that it can be stirred in all directions using a spoon is expressed through the shear parameters.
The stable four-leg structure (shown in orange) is the basic element of the pentamode metamaterial. It is arranged in the form of a three-dimensional adamantine crystal such that the resulting material as a whole can be formed. (Source: CFN, KIT)
The word penta is derived from ancient Greek and means "five". In the case of water, the five shear parameters equal zero, and only one parameter, compression, differs from that value. In terms of parameters, the ideal state of a pentamode metamaterial corresponds to the state of water, which is why that material is referred to as a metafluid. Theoretically, any conceivable mechanical properties whatsoever can be obtained by varying the relevant parameters.
"Realizing a pentamode metamaterial is about as difficult as trying to build a scaffold from pins that must not touch but at their tips," first author Dr. Muamer Kadic explains. "The Karlsruhe prototype has been manufactured from a polymer. The mechanical behavior of the material is determined by the acuteness and length of the individual "sugar loaves". On the one hand, we must be capable of designing small sugar loaves in the nanometer range and connect them to one another at the right angle. On the other hand, the entire structure must eventually become as large as possible. Since the material itself contributes only little more than one percent to the respective volume, the composite obtained is extremely light.
"To obtain similar 3D results, as in transformation optics, transformation acoustics is exclusively dependent on metamaterials. In view of this, this first manufacture of our pentamode metamaterial is a quite significant success," adds Tiemo Bückmann, who is about to receive his diploma at the Institute of Applied Physics and is responsible for realizing the structures of the new material by means of dip-in laser writing, a method that has been derived from direct laser writing developed by the Nanoscribe company.
In recent years, a Professor at the Institute of Applied Physics and CFN coordinator, Martin Wegener and his collaborators, have developed direct laser writing and, based on that method, established optical lithography of three-dimensional nanostructures. Numerous achievements of Wegener's group in transformation optics e.g., the first three-dimensional cloak of invisibility in the range of visible light have been due to that technique.

Review by Brian Eggert November 25, 2016
Brad Pitt, Marion Cotillard, Jared Harris, Lizzy Caplan, Simon McBurney, Matthew Goode
On the surface, Robert Zemeckis' Allied may seem straightforward, a familiar sort of wartime romance whose tempo copies beats established in the Golden Age of Hollywood. At first, its politics seem certain and its moral principles firm, just like so many 1940s wartime classics. But similar to Steven Spielberg's Bridge of Spies from last year, Allied tells a story from the past through contemporary sensibilities. Although Zemeckis draws from classicized filmmakers like Michael Curtiz and Alfred Hitchcock for influence, Steven Knight's intricate screenplay looks at the film's World War II setting as a time of ambiguity and density, muddying otherwise clear divisions of patriotism and loyalty. Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard bring elegant performances to an intelligent and stylish picture, which gradually reveals a profound emotional resonance under its outward restraint.
The film opens in 1942, as Canadian intelligence officer Max Vatan (Pitt) parachutes into the Moroccan desert. He arrives at a prearranged rendezvous in Casablanca to meet Marianne Beausejour (Cotillard), a French Resistance fighter posing as Vatan's wife. She has been in Casablanca for weeks, establishing herself with the Vichy locals and German officials. Together, Max and Marianne intent to carry out an assassination of a German ambassador. Sharply dressed in costume designer Joanna Johnston's elegant gowns and dapper suits, Cotillard and Pitt stand as one of the sexiest onscreen couples in recent memory, each delivering performances that rank among their best. Their initial interactions demonstrate her ability to charm the Vichy locals and his staid severity, while she plays the life of the party in public but critiques his Parisian accent as too Québécois in private. Nevertheless, the two fall in love while maintaining their cover, regardless of their otherwise detached professionalism, largely because of the fatalistic odds against either of them surviving the mission.
A year later, the story finds them together in London, married and parents to a newborn baby, ready to live happily ever after. Their characters soon face trouble when an SOE official (Simon McBurney) demands to see Max, and then warns there's evidence suggesting the real Marianne was killed before Casablanca, and the woman with whom Max now lives is a German spy. The official explains they're going to run a "Blue Dye" on Marianne, and just when a duller film would include expositional dialogue to explain what that means, Max interrupts and says he already knows how it works. They plan to leave out a piece of false intelligence, and if the information runs through a tapped German communiqué within a 72-hour window, then Marianne is guilty, and Max must kill her to demonstrate his loyalty. This is "standard operating procedure for intimate betrayal," the official explains.
What are the possibilities? The SOE could have received inaccurate reports and, after 72 hours, Max will learn that his superiors unduly investigated his wife. Or maybe Marianne is, in fact, a spy for the Germans, and she's so coldhearted and committed to her cause that getting married and having a baby with her enemy is nothing compared to her devotion to Hitler. At the same time, an outside chance remains that Max's superiors have dreamt up this elaborate scheme to test his loyalties in consideration of an upcoming assignment. If so, then his behavior could spoil his chances at a promotion, and his new suspicion of Marianne is wholly unfounded. It seems as though only three possibilities could occur; however, the film always operates on an emotional level, regardless of the plot-centric setup. Indeed, nothing in Allied proves so simple or predictable. When finally the film reaches its conclusion, the audience could have never guessed the degree to which Zemeckis would avoid clichés and instead leave us devastated.
Much has already been written about the film's similarities to Casablanca, Curtiz's indelible classic from 1942. The opening act takes place in Casablanca, after all, and a performance of "La Marseillaise" figures heavily into the plot near the finale. Thematically, Casablanca and Allied both feature characters who must occupy secret roles in support of either their professional or personal lives. But more apt comparisons for Allied belong to several works by Hitchcock. In a way, the scenario recalls Hitchcock's Suspicion (1941), in which Joan Fontaine suspected her husband, Cary Grant, to be a murderer. The uncertainty introduced into their intimate relationship was draining, until it turns out the film's title was all too accurate. Perhaps Hitchcock's greatest film is Notorious (1946), starring Grant and Ingrid Bergman, about a spy who sends his lover to investigate Nazis in Rio de Janeiro, putting distrust and an incredible strain on their relationship.
Suffice it to say, Allied has roots in old-fashioned storytelling, although it takes a decidedly realistic perspective in its depiction of wartime behavior. Rather than typical gung-ho, duty-bound soldiers and spies, we see London under the threat of devastation and the resulting effect that has on its culture. Max's sister (Lizzy Caplan) openly engages in a lesbian relationship in front of her unbothered military superiors; later, Max and Marianne throw a wild party where cocaine seems just as normal as public sex. When the Nazis are at your doorstep, certain measures of decorum simply lose their importance. Such details offer a portrait of WWII culture unlike anything to which audiences are accustomed outside of a few rare exceptions, such as Paul Verhoeven's Black Book (2007), which may be Allied's closest cinematic sibling. Knight has researched the reality of his chosen era and delivered another scathing portrait of London to rival his screenplays for Dirty Pretty Things (2003) and Eastern Promises (2007).
Some critics have questioned Pitt's subdued presence and censured him for being stoic and unemotive. However, his performance recalls that of Lino Ventura in Jean-Pierre Melville's Army of Shadows (1969), the greatest of all films about the French Resistance and an essential picture to understand the spy sensibility. Ventura has flat, tired features throughout that film; there's nary an expression on his face, and every line of dialogue is loaded. Melville, who served in the Resistance during the war, understood how maintaining that level of secrecy and inward control meant stripping away your sense of self and adopting an altogether committed state of mind. Performing as a spy who has a similar discipline, Pitt may not engage in expressive acting or charm his audience with his smile, but he captures the spy state of mind that Hollywood very often disregards in favor of large, easily relatable emotions.
Allied is far more complicated than standard Hollywood fare, in that its passions have layers of loyalty and duty embedded beneath the surface—and the audience feels turned in knots while trying to determine where Marianne's loyalties reside. As dispassionate as the film may seem early on, watching requires the viewer to place themselves in the spy mindset and understand that what is shown is superficial. Max and Marianne behave in ways so that their intentions and true feelings can and should be questioned by the audience. And as their relationship grows throughout the picture, the suspicion grows with it, and suddenly the film begins to share much more in common with suspenseful tragedy rather than a purely romantic wartime drama. To be sure, Allied may have been inspired by the classics, but it remains something altogether unique and infinitely more serious than most viewers will expect.
On a formal level, cinematographer Don Burgess puts forth a clean and classy visual presentation, while the editing team (Mick Audsley and Jeremiah O'Driscoll) delivers seamless and invisible cuts amid some creative transitions. In addition to his polished production, Zemeckis, ever the Hollywood technophile, cannot resist incorporating a few dazzling sequences of showmanship into the picture. A love scene in the Moroccan desert in which the camera spins around Max and Marianne in a sand-beaten car recalls the intimacy from a similar scene in The English Patient (1997). Later, Zemeckis thrills us with a fast-paced assassination mission and the birth of Marianne's child during a bombing in London. Although the air raid scenes are rendered with CGI, they contain incredible detail, such as when one of the damaged planes takes a sudden turn and crashes near Max and Marianne's home.
Zemeckis' visual touches never supplant the power of his film's spy suspense, central love story, or subsequent paranoia, leaving Allied to feel, in the end, a terrifically executed picture in each of its various strains. Much like Zemeckis' 2012 release Flight, the basic setup seems straightforward, until the story veers in several directions the viewer never anticipated. At the same time, every aspect of the picture hits its mark, from the expert performances to Alan Silvestri's intimate score to the pristine quality of Zemeckis' technical flourishes. What remains most impressive are the psychological intricacies of Max and Marianne, their world, and the extent to which Allied is less an escapist piece of wartime fantasy than a tragic romance set in a tumultuous, unpredictable time in history. Although the film may seem deceptively old-fashioned and entrenched in classic films, the storytelling feels relevant and modern.

Q: Working with font-awesome 4.7 in extjs 7.3 I was upgrading an app build with an old extjs framework version (v 6.7) which used the old font-awesome package up to v4.7 I guess. I upgraded the app now to the 7.3 framework version which uses the new font-awesome package. Now my question is, is there a possibility to use the old package instead? I tried just swapping out the package folders but sencha cmd then throws a fashion error like this:
[LOG] Fashion Error : Reference to undeclared variable : $fa_fw_width :

What I tried as well was swapping the data in the ext\packages\font-awesome\resources\fonts folder, which seemed to make no difference.
and swapping out both folders (\resources and \sass) lead to this building failure:

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers' playoff drought is over. But it didn't happen how they wanted.
For the first time since 2013, the 49ers are headed to the postseason, but they needed some help to get there after a 29-22 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at Levi's Stadium.
Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan drove the Falcons 70 yards in the closing moments to throw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Julio Jones with two seconds left. Jones caught the ball at the goal line and was initially ruled short, but a review overturned it for a touchdown. The score put the Falcons ahead 23-22, and Atlanta scored again as time expired when Olamide Zaccheaus returned a failed lateral attempt by the 49ers for a touchdown.
Sunday's loss made the Niners the first team to win 10 games in a season and also lose at least three games in the final 10 seconds of regulation or overtime since the 2000 Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
Week 15 NFL playoff picture: Eight teams in, four more spots up for grabs
Despite the loss, the 49ers clinched a playoff spot by virtue of the Los Angeles Rams' 44-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Seattle Seahawks (11-3) and Green Bay Packers (11-3) also clinched playoff spots with their victories Sunday combined with the Rams' loss.
Although the 49ers acknowledged that ending their playoff drought was a step in the right direction, the overwhelming feeling in the locker room was one of disappointment that it came with some help rather than their own victory.
"I'm glad we're in," coach Kyle Shanahan said. "It starts with that. That's cool, but doesn't make me feel better right now."
The defeat dropped the 11-3 Niners into a tie with the Seahawks atop the NFC West division, with Seattle holding the tiebreaker because of its win against the Niners earlier this season. The Niners currently sit in the fifth spot in the NFC playoff picture and would have to go on the road to open the postseason if the season ended Sunday.
Fortunately for the Niners, who are 3-3 in their past six games, the season didn't end Sunday.
Coming off a 48-46 win against New Orleans after which five key players were ruled out for this week or longer because of injuries, the Niners were noticeably sluggish on Sunday.
In addition to the attrition, the Niners were coming off a three-game gantlet against Green Bay, Baltimore and New Orleans, with the latter two on the road on a 10-day trip that included a stop in Bradenton, Florida, for the week of practice between the Ravens and Saints game.
While Shanahan didn't see signs of a letdown, multiple players believed there was a drop-off in intensity from last week in New Orleans to this week against the Falcons, who entered at 4-9.
"We for sure could have came out with a little more juice as a team in general," linebacker Fred Warner said. "I was trying to get us going a little bit, but even myself, I felt like I still could have brought even more early on in the game and as the game went on. I always look at myself when it comes to that kind of stuff on defense, me bringing that juice and the energy."
Tight end George Kittle was one of the few bright spots, doing most of the heavy lifting for the offense. Kittle set a career high for catches in a game with 13, coming on 17 targets, to go with 134 yards. In the process, Kittle moved into first place for most receiving yards by a tight end in his first three seasons, passing Jimmy Graham, Rob Gronkowski and Mike Ditka. Kittle now has 2,780 receiving yards for his career.
But it was the one play Kittle made that left him upset after the game. On third-and-4 at Atlanta's 28 with 1:59 to go, Kittle caught a quick pass in the right flat from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and turned upfield.
With the first-down marker in his sights, Kittle attempted to switch the ball to his opposite hand so he could extend a stiff-arm. He lost the ball and recovered it at Atlanta's 25, a yard short of the first down. Instead of a first down and the chance to essentially run the clock out, the Niners settled for a field goal that left time for Atlanta to drive for Jones' winning touchdown.
"Just dropped it," Kittle said. "Tried to switch hands so I could stiff-arm him. It didn't work out well for me.
"I wish I could play right now. It's a sour taste, I'd love to get it out of my mouth right now. We've got 24 hours to flush it and get back to work."
When Kittle wasn't providing the offense, the Niners struggled to get much of anything else going. Fullback Kyle Juszczyk's 2-yard touchdown catch gave the Niners a 19-10 lead in the fourth quarter, but they coughed it up, with the Falcons scoring three touchdowns in the final 5:15.
After finishing 2018 at 4-12 and picking second in last year's NFL draft, San Francisco still remains in control of its playoff positioning. The 49ers close out the season at home against the Rams on Saturday, followed by a potential clash for the NFC West and the NFC's No. 1 seed against the Seahawks in Seattle on Dec. 29.
Despite the loss, if the 49ers win those final two games, they would not only win the division, but also wrap up the NFC's top seed and home-field advantage through the NFC portion of the playoffs. San Francisco holds head-to-head tiebreakers against the Saints and Packers, the other two top contenders in the NFC aside from the Seahawks.
"That (playoff berth) is something to be proud of, but no, it does not (feel good)," tackle Mike McGlinchey said. "We would have liked to have been in on a victory and have done that. Unfortunately, we didn't, but we're in the dance now, and we got to close out these next two weeks and hopefully put ourselves in position for a nice road to the Super Bowl."

Last month saw the publication of a paper by James and I (our first paper!) on the so-called 'nomothetic' approach to links between language structure and social structure. In it we review the recent trend of using large-scale cross-cultural statistical analyses to find links between cultural traits and social structures (e.g. Lupyan & Dale, 2010). We show that statistical tests can be misleading because of the nature of cultural systems. We also argue that using statistics alone does not provide strong explanatory power. However, they can be a valuable part of a pluralistic approach to problems – especially generating hypotheses and as a catalyst for debate. Other approaches can help support the suggestions made by nomothetic studies, such as experiments and models.
Perhaps as exciting, there are now some spurious correlations that are peer-reviewed! These include the link between tonal languages and the presence of acacia trees, and word order being linked to the number of offspring parents have.
The paper is available here and is open access. It's part of a special issue on Language as a Tool for Interaction, and has some other interesting papers which I look forward to reading.

Getting the Call: Meet Julie Danvers!
Harlequin Medical Romance,
Julie Danvers,
Ever since I was young, I've wanted to be a writer. I grew up in a rural area, and books provided the adventures I craved. I dreamed of writing the kinds of books I loved to read: sprawling fantasy novels, suspenseful thrillers, and mysteries with irresistible twists.
Romance didn't exactly make the list. I liked stories with action and excitement, stories set in places I dreamed of traveling to, someday. How could stories about relationships and their obstacles possibly be interesting?
At this point, any self-respecting romance reader should be rolling their eyes at my naiveté. When I look back, it seems clear that romance and I were made for each other. Excitement, suspense, a window into another time, place, or profession – it's all there, in the middle of a rollercoaster love story with multiple plot twists. If I could meet my younger self, checking out a stack of books at the library, I'd add as many Harlequins to that stack as I could carry.
I discovered medical romance because I was trying to write a thriller. I was working on building suspense in my writing, which led me to take another look at romance. A romance novel is just as suspenseful as a thriller or mystery, I thought. Maybe even more so, because the happy ending has to seem impossible.
I scoured the internet for advice on writing romance, and that's how I found Harlequin's website. Not only did I discover a wealth of romance writing tips, I learned that there was an ongoing Medical Romance Blitz, with almost two weeks left until the deadline.
I dashed off a first chapter and synopsis (and by "dashed off" I mean I agonized over every word). I didn't think my submission would be accepted, but I hoped that I might get some good feedback from an editor.
A few days later, I received an email from editor Charlotte Ellis, requesting additional chapters. I sent those in, expecting to receive a polite rejection in response. Instead, suggestions for revision came in. I sent in the revisions, and then a request for the full manuscript came. I sent in the manuscript and made more revisions…and more revisions…
The guidance that Charlotte provided was invaluable. Every one of her suggestions was spot on and helped me grow as a writer. Submitting to Medical Romance was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
When Charlotte finally emailed me to set up what would turn out to be The Call, I was a bundle of nerves. Maybe they just want to let me down gently, I thought. They're probably going to say that they appreciate the work I've done, but it's just not coming together.
So it was amazing to hear Charlotte say that she loved the story and that Harlequin was offering me a two-book contract! I was absolutely over the moon. I did a little dance in my office before calling my partner, and then my mother. I was at work, and my office is right on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. I had a break before my next meeting, so I left and took a walk down the Magnificent Mile. I had this huge smile on my face; I think I was probably the happiest person in the city that day.
And I am thrilled to write for the Harlequin Medical line, because it has everything I've always loved in a good story. Excitement, plot twists, smart characters having adventures in unique settings – all with an underlying message that nothing stops love. How could I resist falling in love with medical romance?

Congrats on getting the Call! How wonderful. 🙂
Fred A. Stuppsays:
Dear Julie, Loved your history. I was born and raised in Chicago and had a very interesting walk down Michigan Avenue near the Tribune Tower. Much different circumstances. My story, "FROM RATS to CADILLACS" is also about romance — but my first love ended in heart break. I was raised in a rat infested Chicago neighborhood and in my late teen years we moved to the poor outskirts of Elmhurst. There I met and fell hopelessly in love with a kind soft spoken rich girl. With me coming from a very poor and violent childhood with a father who beat him and his mother, I was too naive and too infatuated to the impossible difference in our social stratification. But Like Stephen King said, "People think first love is sweet, and never sweeter than when that first bond snaps. You've heard a thousand pop and country songs that prove the point; some fool got his heart broke. Yet that first broken heart is always the most painful, the slowest to mend, and leave the most visible scar. What's so sweet about that?" So —Julie do you ever have an interest in a broken heart love story? I carried that hurt for a long time. Kindest regards, Fred Stupp
Hanasays:
Congrats, Julie! Lovely call story. I particularly enjoyed the part where each next request for more surprised you! It does take you by surprise, doesn't it?

A man apart movie trailer
A Man Apart is a 2003 American vigilante action film directed by F. Gary Gray and released by New Line Cinema. The film stars Vin Diesel and Larenz Tate. The story follows undercover DEA agent Sean Vetter who is on a vendetta to take down a mysterious drug lord named Diablo after his wife is murdered. The film was released in the United States on April 4, 2003.
Critical reception
Sean Vetter (Vin Diesel) and Demetrius Hicks (Larenz Tate), who are former criminals, are members of the U.S. DEA working on the California/Mexico border. After arresting a drug baron named Memo Lucero (Geno Silva), the mysterious "Diablo" starts to take over Memo's drug pipeline and territory, and to send a warning message to the DEA, organizes the assassination of Vetter. The assassination is botched and Vetter survives, but his wife, Stacy (Jacqueline Obradors), is killed in the crossfire.
Looking for revenge, Vetter acts outside the law to punish his wife's murderers. To accomplish that, he asks Memo, who is now in prison, for help finding Diablo. After Memo's wife and son are also assassinated by Diablo he agrees to help Vetter. With Hicks' help, Vetter hunts every member of the cartel from the bottom to the top of the organization's hierarchy and finds that Memo is linked to the recent activities.

After a prolonged delay, A Man Apart was finally released April 4, 2003 in 2,459 theaters and grossed $11,019,224 on its opening weekend, ranking #3 at the box office. As of July 10, 2003, the film has a domestic box office gross of $26,736,098 and a foreign gross of $17,614,828, giving it a worldwide total of $44,350,926.
The film was panned by critics. On the film review website Rotten Tomatoes it currently holds an 11% "Rotten" with the general consensus being "Action and drama elements don't mix well in this cliched actioner". The film holds an average score of 36 out of 100 based on 32 reviews on another film review aggregator site, Metacritic.
A Man Apart was released on DVD on September 2, 2003 as a 'barebones' release, containing no special features except deleted scenes and trailers. It was criticized for its poor video transfer. The film was later released on Blu-ray Disc on August 14, 2012.
The film's original title "Diablo" was the subject of a lawsuit by the video game company Blizzard Entertainment in 2001 when the developer/publisher filed against New Line Cinema, claiming trademark infringement on the name Diablo (a title used by Blizzard for a franchise of role-playing video games). A court initially ruled in favor of Blizzard, but the decision was reversed on appeal. Ultimately, New Line changed the film's name. However, another movie with the same name, starring Scott Eastwood, was eventually released in 2015.

Coming face-to-face with your own inferiority complex
How to spend next four hours on Netflix
by Wenlei Ma
19th Oct 2019 12:49 PM
THERE'S an intriguing concept at the centre of Living With Yourself and it has everything to do with our inferiority complexes.
Don't be cocky - everyone has one. Everyone feels like there's a better version of themselves - whether it's as simple as a version of yourself that didn't grab that piece of chocolate at 7.30am or the version of yourself that had the confidence to go after that promotion.
Imagine if that better version of yourself manifested right in front of you. That's got to make you spin out, and feel just a tad bad about your inadequacies.
That's what happens to Miles (Paul Rudd), a suburban, married adman who's a bit down on life - disengaged at work and at home, avoiding a fertility doctor's appointment and unable to write the play he's been at for years.
When his colleague Dan (Desmin Borges) refers him to a mysterious spa with a $50,000 fee, and the vague promise that it'll make him a better version of himself, Miles couldn't have guessed it would be so literal.
Seduced by the promise of a better you
In the dinghy backroom of a largely abandoned strip mall, Miles drifts off with the sound of Enya's "Orinoco Flow" and the frantic argument about faulty gas between the two spa attendants. When he wakes up, he's bagged and buried in a shallow grave in the forest.
Original Miles wasn't supposed to survive - kind of like all those drowned Hugh Jackmans under the stage in The Prestige. (Before you get worked up, that is a 13-year-old spoiler so if you haven't seen The Prestige yet, that's on you.)
Rushing home, he finds himself face-to-face with, well, himself. Miles has been cloned. They've literally made a better version of him - one who's confident, competent and with bouncier hair and perfect vision, and no appendicitis scar.
Seeing this version of himself only highlights all of Miles' failings, forgotten ambitions and regrets. It also complicates things for him with his wife Kate (Aisling Bea) and at work where there's an important pitch for a telecoms account.
Um, something weird is going on here
When New Miles refuses to go quietly off to Fiji or wherever, the two Miles must contend with each other's existence, and what the other makes them feel about himself.
It's not dissimilar to that season five episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer when Xander is split into two with one version of himself inheriting his best qualities and the other the worst - it's still the same person, it's a matter of self-perception and the ruts we sometimes get stuck in.
But Living With Yourself also taps into our anxieties about the pressures to always be "on", to strive for more, to be the best you can be when sometimes all you want to do is veg out, laze about and be contented in that moment.
It's an intriguing concept and it's resonant.
Are you the best version of yourself you could be? And do you have to be?
The show was created by Timothy Greenberg who had previously written for the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, the indie darlings behind Little Miss Sunshine, Battle of the Sexes and Ruby Sparks.
Like Dayton and Faris' previous work, Living With Yourself is a relatively low-key project that relies on quiet and awkward humour.
And it wouldn't work without Rudd's double performance - and he's able to really distinguish these two versions of Miles through his physicality and his vibe while maintaining enough consistency that you believe he's the same person, especially when the show flashes back to an earlier time in Miles and Kate's life when both were more hopeful and positive.
But ultimately, Living With Yourself doesn't have an urgent, must-see appeal. It's more of a "sure, why not?" kind of deal, a perfectly diverting and charming enough series to while away about four hours, especially if you like the idea of two Paul Rudds.

Standup comic, actor and fan favorite from HBO's Silicon Valley and the film Crazy Rich Asians shares his memoir of growing up as a Chinese immigrant in California and making it in Hollywood."I turned down a job in finance to pursue a career in stand-up comedy. My dad thought I was crazy. But I figured it was better to disappoint my parents for a few years than to disappoint myself for the rest of my life. I had to disappoint them in order to pursue what I loved. That was the only way to have my Chinese turnip cake and eat an American apple pie too."Jimmy O. Yang is a standup comedian, film and TV actor and fan favorite as the character Jian Yang from the popular HBO series Silicon Valley. In How to American, he shares his story of growing up as a Chinese immigrant who pursued a Hollywood career against the wishes of his parents: Yang arrived in Los Angeles from Hong Kong at age 13, learned English by watching BET RapCity for three hours a day, and worked as a strip club DJ while pursuing his comedy career. He chronicles a near deportation episode during a college trip Tijuana to finally becoming a proud US citizen ten years later. Featuring those and many other hilarious stories, while sharing some hard-earned lessons, How to American mocks stereotypes while offering tongue in cheek advice on pursuing the American dreams of fame, fortune, and strippers.

Now in its sixth year, the Stockport Grammar School Year Five Art Competition, sponsored by Brewin Dolphin, welcomed 113 entries from young artists from 16 local primary schools.
Based around the theme of 'self-portrait', entries ranged in creativity and size across a wide range of media including 2D and 3D entries. Artists and their families were invited to an exhibition evening to show their work to family and friends, take part in art activities run by the school's Fifth Year artists and find out the winners of the competition.
Head of Art Mr Richard Davies thanked all of the artists for creating such imaginative pieces and their teachers for taking the time to assist pupils in production and entry. He commented: "We were impressed by the quality of the work, both in terms of the technical skill that was evident in the use of a range of media, and also with the level of creativity which could be seen in the variety of outcomes.
Lukas Schwarzmayr of Gorsey Bank Primary School won the competition with an eye catching self-portrait with fantastic shaded detail created in a collage style. Runners-up Maria Majid of Lady Barn House School created a colourful 3D project and Lucas Bird of Vernon Primary School impressed with his half photo, half drawing piece which showed great skill in both the drawing and shading aspects.
All the pieces were fantastic and the amazing artwork produced showed the talent, imagination and time the artists had put in. All the entrants were winners for being chosen to represent their school at the competition and every artist went home with a 'goody bag' provided by sponsors Brewin Dolphin, including art equipment to continue their enjoyment.

K9 Fit Club was founded in 2012 by Tricia Montgomery and was the nation's first facility for both humans and canines to use together. As public demand for the program grew – with interest from enthusiasts all over the country – the online certification program was established.
After shedding 130 pounds several years ago by working out with her dog Louie, Ms. Montgomery was inspired to help all people and their dogs stay healthy and fit together, thus K9 Fit Club was born. Ms. Montgomery's pit bull Zeus is the program's "poster dog" and resident guinea pig.
The programs were developed with input from personal trainers, veterinarians, dog trainers, doctors, and certified dog behaviorists. Programs are recommended after an initial assessment of both person and dog, and are available for all fitness levels in all modalities of fitness – as well as specifically designed programs for children, seniors, and people with certain disabilities.

Loose Luggage Spells Danger : It was sad to read of a rider crashing and sustaining serious injuries on their way to the Burt Munro due to a sleeping bag getting trapped in the drivetrain. Loose luggage can be a serious danger, so let's all remember to attach and tie down securely anything we carry. Bungee straps are useful things but they have two major drawbacks: they stretch, allowing luggage to move around, and ordinary round bungees can 'roll' along the surface of what they're meant to be securing. One antidote to the latter is something we recently discovered when loading up to ride to the Shiny Side Up: Fat Straps. They are bungees but they're flat rather than round, reducing the tendency for the strap to squirm and move about. You'll find them at places like The Warehouse and Mitre 10. Just be sure anything you carry on your bike is held down fast and check its secure at every stop. Better still, invest in some fixed luggage-it's by far the safest option.
Saving the planet, one motorcycle at a time : We all know motorcycles have a lot of environmental advantages over bigger vehicles, from lower fuel consumption to defeating congestion. But the bigger role they can play is highlighted in a story we found about Mongolian park rangers and the difference they are now making to wildlife and environmental protection. It's all thanks to a project called Rally For Rangers. Observing the calamitous unreliability of the rangers' ancient Russian and Chinese machines, former US National Park Ranger Robert McIntosh determined to do something about it. Robert and fellow ex-US Ranger Wes Thornberry ended up delivering 15 trail bikes to Mongolia, and their work continues. Click on the pic for the link to their web page.
Filling the Empty Nest with Motorcycles -Sparking a new passion, this motorcyclist is hooked!
:I'm 56 years old and just started riding a motorcycle last July. I had been a passenger on several different bikes while growing up. In fact, I only started dating my husband 22 years ago because he rode a motorcycle. When my husband and I married and had our son, we quit riding for 21 years. But the minute our son left for college, I suggested to my husband that it was time to get back on a motorcycle. So, we bought a BMW F800 GT that he still rides today. While I love my little Miata, it just didn't quite satisfy my wanderlust. With our only child off to college, the empty nest and thoughts about getting old got me thinking that I really needed something new, exciting, and challenging in my life.
a great idea and supported me completely.
stayed for the end of the class to watch my classmates take their test, then I departed. I spent the rest of the summer riding with my husband. We also spent time practicing the exercises I learned in my class. My husband has been a rider since he was young, so he enjoyed practicing the exercises on his bike along with me.
My permit is good for a year, so I felt that I could wait until next spring/summer to get my license, but not having my license was like a black cloud over my head. I wanted it, and I wanted it now! So I scheduled my license test at the DMV for mid-October. I was so nervous I barely slept for the two weeks leading up to my scheduled test. I had a wonderful lady instructor and she helped me to relax. I did great and passed! I was so excited!
The little Honda Rebel was an awesome learner bike for me and I feel 100% that it was the right decision to start on. I'm 5 feet 3 inches and weigh 125 pounds. I wanted a bike that I could easily flat foot, and maneuver around the garage. The Rebel provided that for me, and was easy enough to ride that I gained confidence quickly.
When I bought my Rebel from a woman who had also used it as her first bike, I was thinking that she moved up to another bike rather quickly. After one summer with the Rebel, I was also ready to get something bigger.
With our future riding plans and travel in mind, I started researching my next bike. I selected a Triumph Street Twin. It is a 900cc bike, and I was a little afraid that it would be too much for me. Sadly, I live in Ohio, so my beautiful bike is now all "settled in for a long winters nap". Spring/Summer cannot come quick enough for me!
As other women have stated this in their stories, I too wish I had learned sooner! My husband and I are talking about getting a trailer so that in the near future we can plan trips and take our bikes with us to explore and ride. I was devastated when my son left for college, wondering what I would do with myself. Well, now I know!
Riding during autumn always has me in a quandary for gloves. Too heavy—you sweat. Too thin—you freeze. The temperature starts warmer then drops during the day, so you go from "comfortable" to "I can't feel my fingers." My simple solution is a pair of latex gloves. They provide a quick layer of warmth, wind protection, and they keep wet weather away from your hands. I never leave home without them on the bike and take them with me on every trip. I've even been known to hand out a pair or two!
Gear is a must for cold-weather riding. On a budget? Layers and leathers. From undergarments to leathers and shells, this allows you to stay comfortable while being versatile enough to shed layers when things warm up. If affordable, some of the latest technology like seat, leg, and handgrip warmers or plug-in heat liners or shells are available.
Hydration is also a necessity when riding in colder weather. You may not feel very thirsty, but dehydration can lead to fatigue or dizziness (alcohol and caffeine can make this worse). It is recommended to consume at least half your body weight in ounces of water.
Metabolism also decreases during colder temperatures. The best way to stimulate your metabolism is to eat small balanced meals throughout the day. Your furnace will continue burning while keeping your mind and body awake and a bit warmer.
Need a pit-stop? Whether you're feeling a bit tired or just too darn cold to continue riding, pull over, gather your faculties, and warm up a bit. Run some warm water on your hands or warm them up under a hand dryer. Otherwise take a brisk walk or perform repetitive movements to get the circulation going again.
I don't care for people who do a lot of posturing; but I do have admiration for riders with good posture. After all, riding posture is one of the most overlooked aspects of road riding. For most of us, the topic was last mentioned in a beginning rider course (you took one of those, right?). Yet, proper riding posture can do wonders to improve control and provide all-day comfort.
Even on a straight road, it's important to place ourselves in a central position that allows the bike to move freely beneath us as we stay mostly still. For that to happen, we must sit upright and relaxed. The back should be straight, but not stiff (and never slouched). Arms should be loose and elbows relaxed, never locked. Hands rest lightly on the bars—not gripping them—to improve feel through the bars and enable lighter steering input. Knees are bent slightly and lightly press against the tank. Having your feet on the footpegs ready to bear your weight creates a more athletic position (I place the balls of my feet on the pegs when not shifting or braking).
Riders often complain of aching shoulders, sore wrists and stiff backs after even a few miles of riding. The culprit is often poor posture. Improve comfort by rolling your hips forward, which straightens the spine and absorbs shocks more efficiently. Rotate shoulders back instead of allowing them to roll forward; this one adjustment will greatly reduce shoulder stress and arm fatigue. Hinge forward at the waist to reach the handlebars without straightening your arms. Be sure not to place weight on your hands and wrists. It may feel awkward at first, but will soon become second nature.
So, straighten up and ride right…and see what a little posturing work can do to give you more control and less pain.


Associate architect Sean O'Dwyer will present on the second day of this year's CITA BIM Gathering in Dublin when he will discuss the use of BIM for the design of the new Dublin Children's Hospital. This building will be a world-class facility providing secondary paediatric services for the greater Dublin area and specialist services for the country. It is the largest, most complex and significant capital investment project ever undertaken in healthcare in Ireland and first images were revealed earlier this year by Ireland's Minister for Health, Leo Varadkar.
BDP is the first company to be assessed and certificated under BRE Global's BIM level 2 Business Systems Certification Scheme and the Dublin studio is the first to achieve certification in Ireland.

2 Clips of The Front Runner
You may watch below two preview clips of The Front Runner, the latest biography drama movie directed by Jason Reitman and starring Hugh Jackman:
The Front Runner – Sacrifice
The Front Runner – AmbushedPlot synopsis:
"Oscar nominee Hugh Jackman stars as the charismatic politician Gary Hart for Academy Award-nominated director Jason Reitman in the new thrilling drama The Front Runner. The film follows the rise and fall of Senator Hart, who captured the imagination of young voters and was considered the overwhelming front runner for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination when his campaign was sidelined by the story of an extramarital relationship with Donna Rice. As tabloid journalism and political journalism merged for the first time, Senator Hart was forced to drop out of the race — events that left a profound and lasting impact on American politics and the world stage."
Well things have changed since back then… Extramarital affairs don't seem to be a serious impediment anymore to be a US president.
Release date: November 21, 2018.

Rapid Pest Risk Analysis for Diabrotica speciosa (Germar)
This is a polyphagous pest which has never been intercepted entering the UK. It has only been intercepted entering the EU on one occasion. The most likely sources of D. speciosa entering the UK are: cut flowers, fruit, vegetables and plants for planting with soil arriving from South America. However, it is unlikely that D. speciosa will enter the UK and unlikely that it will establish if it does. If this species does establish briefly it is likely that this would only be in the South of England in a particularly warm year. The largest risk of crop damage would be larval damage to potatoes and it is unlikely to cause damage at an economic level. Eradication would be difficult if D. speciosa were to establish in the UK, however control measures are available and monitoring traps may be available soon.

Residents say construction for the Winter Games has led to damaged homes, dry wells and forced evictions.
Sochi, readying itself for what is expected to be the most expensive Olympics ever, has seen an incredible amount of new infrastructure go up. But not everyone is happy about it.
Stadiums, hotels, railways, bridges, and even illegal apartments have sprouted up around the coastal city of 343,000. But while athletes and spectators will get to enjoy these new facilities in less than a hundred days, many locals are facing difficulties that are a direct result of the new construction.
The problems are serious and wide-ranging, including disrupted water supplies, damaged homes (sometimes with no government compensation), and forced evictions. Residents in Sochi's Akhshtyr district say that the construction of railway and highway tunnels has even cut them off from public transit.


Two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals, such as graphene, black phosphorus and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are attractive for use in optoelectronic devices, due to their unique optical absorption properties and van der Waals (vdWs) force between layers. Heterostructures based on layered semiconductors provide a new platform for broadband high-performance photodetectors. In this work, graphene-MoTe2-WS2-graphene vdWs heterojunctions are fabricated for photodetection. The fundamental electric properties and the band structures of the heterojunctions are investigated and discussed. The devices show a high responsivity (≈ 140 mA W-1 at 825 nm), stable and broadband photodetection from UV to NIR wavelength range (300 - 1350 nm), fast response time of 186 µs and self-driven photodetectors. The scanning photocurrent microscopy maps are also employed to study the mechanism of photocurrent generation in the heterojunction. Our results reveal that the vdWs heterojunctions with graphene electrodes offer a new route to broadband detection, optical communication and energy harvesting applications.

This Article explores the legislative role in enforcing the constitutional guarantee to equal protection. Part I describes the underenforcement principle that explains the restrictive judicial exercise of authority in constitutional matters. The Article then focuses on Congress' role in examining issues relating to the constitutional guarantee of equal protection that the courts have chosen to underenforce. Part II analyzes relevant constitutional provisions that may empower or limit congressional actions. Part III considers ways in which Congress can address state violations of equal protection through directives to the judiciary and through the legislative process. Part IV details how both federal and state legislatures can implement equal protection guarantees in everyday legislation. Finally, Part V distinguishes between constitutionally motivated decision-making and conscientious decision-making within the legislature and discusses the political implications of a legislative process that directly addresses the constitutionality of equal protection issues.

The conference will be held in Estonian National Museum (Muuseumi tee 2, Tartu) on 1st of June 2017.
Everyone can visit the museum that houses Estonian history, tradition, new aims and engaging dreams, but you will have an exclusive chance to see the backstage - how was the biggest museum in Estonia built during the 10 year process and how is the building with 6000 square meters of exhibition space operated and maintained today.
There are two parking areas at the Estonian National Museum which are free for visitors. There is also a taxi stop located in the front of the main entrance. You can also use public transport, taxi or come on foot (the venue is arount 2,5km from the city centre).
or download the taxi application Taxify for iOS or Android.
At the venue look for Entrance B or ask to be directed to the Theatre Hall.
You can also reach Tartu through Tallinn and Riga. Tallinn International Airport is located just outside the city centre, on the road to Tartu. From Tallinn Airport you can take a Lux Express bus to Tartu (departs from the city center and also from the airport at least once in every hour, the journey time is 2,5 hours). It would be better to buy a ticket in advance from the previous web page. You may also take an Elron train from Tallinn to Tartu (departs also from near the airport, journey time for the express trains is 2 hours). Also, buying tickets in advance from the web page is highly recommended. Riga International Airport is connected with Tartu trough Lux Express buses.
