Gross profit refers to the amount of money which is left with a business after the products have been sold and the actual cost of the aforementioned products had already been deducted. To know how much should be deducted from the amount earned by the business from the sale, it is important to determine the elements that contributed directly to the production of the product concerned. In this situation, only these factors count towards the actual cost of the sold goods.
The cost of the raw materials which were used to come up with the final product, for example, should be included in the equation when computing for the gross profit for a given period. The costs which contribute to the actual cost of the product are often considered as variable costs because they usually change depending on changes in the quantity of the final product. It is also important to note that the computation for the gross profit does not include deductions of other costs, such as operating expenses and salaries.
The gross profit is just one of the many figures a company needs to take note of when determining how well the business is doing in terms of its finances. This particular figure gives the decision-makers of the business an idea of how capable they are of making payments for other costs, particularly fixed ones. The company's gross profit is also used as a basis for determining how efficient production currently is. This, in turn, will help the company decide on whether production should continue for a particular product.

Le Petit Ménestrel est une collection de disques pour enfants dont le principe éditorial est d'être accompagnés par un livre illustré, d'où leur nom de « livres-disques ». Créée en 1953 par Lucien Adès, cette collection était diffusée à l'origine par le label discographique français disques Adès.

Historique
Libraire passionné de littérature enfantine, Lucien Adès crée en 1953 le concept de « livre-disque » (un petit livre accompagné de l'enregistrement discographique du texte) et fonde pour l'occasion les disques Lucien Adès / Le Petit Ménestrel. S'assurant le concours des plus grands comédiens français pour la narration, son catalogue va des contes et légendes à l'adaptation de romans populaires, en passant par les comptines ou les biographies de musiciens célèbres.

Fort de son succès, il contacte le représentant de la Walt Disney Company en France, Armand Bigle, et obtient la licence des films et des longs-métrages d'animation de la société américaine, pour réaliser des adaptations phonographiques (qu'il réalise en grande partie lui-même) mêlant narration, extraits de dialogues et chansons du film.

Il exporte le concept aux États-Unis dès 1957 avec le même succès. Les énormes bénéfices lui permettent parallèlement de produire des enregistrements classiques, contemporains, traditionnels ou de variétés sous le label disques Adès. Une série de disques sans livret  reprenant les génériques ou les chansons de dessins animés, d'émissions ou de séries télévisées, est également lancée dans la collection Le Petit Ménestrel (cf. série 10.000).

Lucien Adès cède sa société en 1988. Le Petit Ménestrel tombe dans le giron d'Universal Music France (sous distribution Accord), qui en assure encore partiellement la réédition, alors que la « division Disney » est rachetée par Walt Disney Records.

La qualité des interprétations reste aujourd'hui un modèle du genre, s'appuyant sur des acteurs et des doubleurs rompus aux enregistrements radiophoniques en direct, à une époque où la télévision était encore peu répandue.

Slogan et signature publicitaire
 Un des tout premiers slogans publicitaire de la collection est « Lisez l'histoire… Regardez les images… Écoute leur voix… ». Il figure notamment sur la couverture de Pinocchio (ALB. 3).
 Sur les premiers albums, comme Bambi (ALB. 6), figure la mention , ce qui constitue une nouveauté pour l'époque.
« La première et la plus belle collection de livres-disques pour enfants. » Ce slogan apparait au moment du passage en couleurs du logo Le Petit Ménestrel et figure en  de couverture au milieu des années 1960.
Le logo représentant un ménestrel a été décliné selon les années en noir et blanc, en bi-chromie (bleu) et en couleurs.

What are Disneyland Good Neighbor Hotels?
The term "Good Neighbor Hotels" gets thrown around a lot at Disneyland but you may or may not be familiar with what it actually means. Hotels designated as "Good Neighbor Hotels" are generally in close proximity to the Disneyland Resort and offer certain perks to guests while providing less expensive option than Disneyland Resort Hotels. For many people these prove to be the best option, just make sure you understand what is and is not included in your reservation before you make a decision.
Most Good Neighbor Hotels are located within 2 miles of the Disneyland Resort, mainly along Harbor Boulevard or Katella Avenue. There are currently 47 official Good Neighbor Hotels to choose from including larger chain hotels and smaller local accommodations.
Prices can be very flexible. There are Economy options like Best Westerns or Motel 6, Moderate options like Holiday Inns, Fairfield Inn, Springhill Suites, or the Portofino Inn as well as Deluxe hotels like Hilton, Wyndham or Marriott. No matter which you choose your stay will usually be cheaper than most stays at a Disneyland Resort Hotel. Typically they start around $75/night and go up from there.
Look for this logo on hotel websites to figure out which ones are GNHs!
What Perks Do Good Neighbor Hotels Offer?
Vacation Packages - You can book your stay and tickets at the same time only at Good Neighbor options.
Walt Disney Travel Co. Swag - Guests booking their packages through these hotels also get exclusive Walt Disney Travel Co. pins, lanyards and luggage tags.

Each hotel will also have access to unique offers, specials, and gifts so feel free to check with each to figure out which will fit your vacation plans best.
Ticket Counters - Most hotel options have Disneyland Resort ticket counters inside the hotel to make buying your tickets are getting answers quicker and easier. This way you can avoid the crowded ticket booths!

218 years ago today, the great Rowland Hill was born! If his name does not ring a bell, read on – we have tales of postal corruption and innovation to share with you today!
Once upon a time, the British postal system was… a mess. Expensive, complex and widely corrupt, it was seen as wasteful and inadequate for the needs of a growing industrial nation. For instance, did you know that correspondence at the time was paid by the recipient and it depended on the distance travelled and number of paper sheets it contained? As a result, people often cross-wrote letters to save space or encoded messages on the cover of the letter – which could be analyzed and then discarded without payment. A significant percentage of letter-writers would also abuse the system by sending their correspondence under the personal frank of members of the parliament (who could send them without paying).
"The postage on all letters received in a post-town, and delivered in the same, or any other post-town in the British Isles, shall be at the uniform rate of one penny per half ounce".
He also showed that most of the costs incurred in mail delivery were not for transport but rather handling at the origins and destinations – and these could be greatly reduced if pre-payment of postage by the sender was implemented. In order to achieve this, Rowland Hill proposed official pre-printed lettersheets and adhesive stamps – a piece of paper "covered at the back with a glutinous wash".
The plan was met with resistance from the part of Royal Mail, but also with plenty of support from traders, merchants and bankers, fed up with the high costs and the corruption of the system in place. With a lot of pressure from these groups, Rowland Hill was appointed to the Treasury, in order to put his plan into operation: the Postal Reform was born!
A design competition was held to figure out how to implement the prepaid postage, and after a few false starts, the Penny Black made its debut in May 1840. It featured an engraving of a very young Queen Victoria, based on a commemorative medal sculpted by William Wyon.
The success of Rowland Hill's reforms were mixed. One one hand, the financial cost of the Uniform Penny Post was disastrous and it would take over 30 years for Royal Mail to reach once more the revenue levels they had before 1840. On the other hand, postal traffic was greatly increased, since the lower cost made postal communications more affordable and accessible to the masses – paving the way to the development of many sectors of the economy.
Rowland Hill was knighted in 1860 for his many services to the United Kingdom. His legacy lives on in the form of the modern postal service.
A very interesting history!!! Thanks!!
Going Postal, anyone? Now I know, who was the inspiration for that novel by Sir Terry Pratchett.
This blog is just another reason I've become a Postcrossing fanatic. Always informative, and often inspiring.
Rowland Hill is still very important to us Postal Workers today. Here in Ireland and maybe in other Postal regions as well we have something called the Rowland Hill Benevolent Fund. Each week the staff contribute a very small fraction to the fund via the payroll and a board of trustees manage the fund. Should a member find themselves in dire circumstances they can apply to the fund for a grant. I've never had to use it but it is great to know it is there.
Thank you for this fascinating bit of history!
What a great story, inspirational!
I've often wondered how and when the system changed from "the receiver paying" to "the sender paying". Now I know. Thanks for the history lesson!
Very interesting and a nice read, thank you!
Loved reading this! Great history of something most take for granted!

AIST : Global Zero Emission Research Center (GZR)Message from the Director
Environmental issues are a common concern of mankind. I hope our research will make the impossible possible.
YOSHINO Akira
After studying petrochemistry at Kyoto University, he began working at the chemical company Asahi Kasei in 1972. He holds positions as an honorary fellow at Asahi Kasei, a fellow at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), president of the Lithium Ion Battery Technology and Evaluation Center (LIBTEC), lifetime distinguished professor at Meijo University, and distinguished professor at Kyushu University. He won the 2019 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his work in developing lithium-ion batteries.
In 2020, the Japanese government formulated the Environment Innovation Strategy, a set of guiding principles and plans, to resolve environmental issues. The strategy is aimed at creating innovations to achieve global carbon neutrality as well as a reduction of the accumulated stock of CO2 in the earth's atmosphere, called the "Beyond-Zero" initiative, by 2050.
The Global Zero Emission Research Center established in the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) plays a key role in creating innovations in line with this strategy. Global environmental issues are among the most challenging ever confronted by human beings. They are to be solved not by a single technology; various technologies are to be combined to pave the way to make what has thus far been deemed impossible possible.
While global environmental issues have attracted extensive discussion, technological innovation, associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution and exemplified by artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and fifth generation technology (5G), is rapidly accelerating. Technological innovation can easily realize what has been impossible. It serves as a powerful force to solve global environmental issues.
AIST has conducted a great deal of research that contributes to zero emissions. We invite domestic and overseas institutions to collaborate with us in sharing research findings, integrating technologies, and synergistically working together toward a common goal.
To achieve a truly sustainable society, a cooperative framework that transcends institutional and national boundaries would be indispensable. It is my sincere hope that the center will play a central role in developing insight into solving global environmental issues common to all human beings.

The Record's boys soccer coach of the Year –…
The Record's boys soccer coach of the Year — Mike Murnane, Troy High
By Andrew Santillo |
PUBLISHED: December 25, 2012 at 1:04 p.m. | UPDATED: July 21, 2021 at 9:54 a.m.
TROY — Mike Murnane never dreamed of getting a Gatorade bath on a cold November afternoon, but it's something that the Troy High boys' soccer coach will never forget. Murnane was drenched by his team, following a 2-1 victory over South Glens Falls, on Nov. 3, as the Flying Horses won the first Section II boys soccer title in school history. "Essentially, it was more or less a Cinderella story," said Murnane, of his team's magical run to the Class A championship. Not only were they the first team in school history to capture a Section II boys soccer crown, they became the first team from the Big 10 to accomplish such a feat. "It was a nice feeling," Murnane said. "They're very proud of themselves and they have a lot to be proud of." For everything the Troy boys' soccer team accomplished in 2012, Murnane, who coached the team to a 15-3-1 record, has been named The Record's boys soccer Coach of the Year. "We have a very good team," Murnane said. "We just put it all together and the kids stepped up at the right time." Murnane, who played for Troy High in the mid 1990s, has coached nine seasons at Troy. This group of seniors, some of whom Murnane coached for four years, seemed to save the best for last. Seniors Brandon Dory, Graeme Corrigan, Will Valle and Rafik Mekhaldi gave the Flying Horses all the leadership they needed. "They were a good working group, really dedicated to the sport of soccer, very passionate about it and very determined kids," Murnane said. "It meant everything to them and none of us wanted that ride to end." That group of seniors won two Big 10 titles, winning this season and in 2010, when they were sophomores. That was the first time Troy had won the Big 10 since Murnane's senior season, 1994. The team was made up of a lot of talented players, but certainly won games by playing as a team, not individuals. "These guys, when we needed them, would step up, but we never knew who it was going to be," Murnane said. "When you play a very team orientated type game, we're not just looking for one guy, we're looking for the first to be in the right spot at the right time." The team's leading goal scorer, Mekhaldi had just 11 goals and 11 different players registered goals for Troy. "With our team, we really preached moving the ball, passing the ball and making that our game. When you do that, different guys get on the receiving end." The team also only allowed nine goals in 20 games, thanks to great defense and junior goalie Josh Rasmussen, who finished with 10 shutouts. "That's a tough thing for a keeper to stay quiet and then when you're called upon, to step up and he did a very good job of that," said Murnane. The No. 3 seeded Flying Horses defeated Queensbury and Mohonasen in the postseason, and then posted an overtime victory in the Class A title game against South Glens Falls. Following that win, Murnane was soaked with a bucket of water. Despite the frigid temperatures on that day, he never felt better. "That day at Colonie, when we won, was a day that none of us will never forget," Murnane said.

Sometimes you need a quick change of scenery, a place to relax, unwind and re-connect. Luckily we live in an area where it's "2 hours to anywhere". 2 hours to the mountains, 2 hours to the desert, 2 hours to another country and the beach at our doorstep. When we hop in the car for a weekend road trip, it's hard not to choose Palm Springs for some R&R. The weather is always nice, there is plenty to do and you're no worse for the wear from driving. This month we decided to try someplace new and stayed at the luxurious Riviera Palm Springs.
The "Riv" as the locals call it, ended up being the perfect destination for a weekend road trip! I had no idea that such a beautiful, swanky, Vegas-like resort was nestled amidst the palm trees here. The Riviera definitely understands that when you work hard, you want to play harder and they have everything to accommodate your needs. We spent time lounging around the pool where 'Ole blue eyes' himself once relaxed. In fact, back in the day, this was the go-to spot for the "Rat Pack." While times have changed, they still pay homage to their celebrity roots with a daily tradition of the Poolside Flag Raising, where they raise a Jack Daniels flag to indicate the start of happy hour.
When the resort was designed and built in the 50s, Irvin Schuman, was trying to create a spot glamorous enough to compete with major Vegas hotels the celebrities frequented like The Sands, The Flamingo and Stardust. Recently, the resort underwent a $70 million renovation and the "Riv" is swankier than ever! Maintaining the old fashioned feel was key in the restoration so layers of wallpaper were peeled back and reproduced and the "Spokewheel" layout of the buildings remained along with architecture consistent with the mid century.
Walking into our room it felt like we were on a film set from the, 50s but with all the modern upgrades like the wi-fi and 37′ LCD TV.
But who can spend time watching television when you can lounge by the pool? Be forewarned though, its a popular destination for the locals so make sure you get your wristband from the front desk! This identifies you as a hotel guest and you will get priority over non-guests for the lounge chairs.
The "Riv" has a rich history with a "who's who" guest list of the mega stars from the 50s and 60s including Elvis Presley, Bob Hope, Raquel Welch and the infamous couple Sonny & Cher. As we walked through the gorgeous lobby, it was easy to imagine the good old days when Hollywood icons checked in to recharge! Each evening we enjoyed a great local band on the outdoor patio before playing a few games of pool on the blinged out crystal billards table. We topped off the night with some dancing and drinks in the main lobby bar with a live DJ.
While most people would think the sun filled days of Cali are the most fun, you need to see the "Riv" at night and observe the 50s vibe! Our favorite part was the way the resort sparkled and shined with old school Hollywood glam. It was breathtaking! You could easily close your eyes and imagine rubbing elbows with Frank Sinatra in the bar or passing Elvis in the lobby. Palm Springs is such a fun area to visit and there's so much to see, but the "Riv" ended up being such a chic oasis that it was easy to just sit back and enjoy the surroundings. This has become one of our favorite destinations and we have already agreed that we'd love to come back and stay again.

Product: very happy with both pairs!
Service: The girl who took my order had a good stock knowledge,was polite and dealt with my order quickly.

Q: How to permanently set screen brightness level in Ubuntu 12.04 on Dell Vostro 2420 laptop? On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Dell Vostro 2420 laptop, each time I start Ubuntu, the screen brightness is set to the maximum level, which gives a high glare. (I have recently installed Ubuntu on the laptop, but did not change any default settings related to brightness, IIRC.) I am currently lowering the brightness manually each time after starting, using the System Settings icon on the left of the screen. Looking for a permanent way to set it to a lower value.

A: Install backlight on your system.
Place the command xbacklight -set value in your startup.
It will automatically do the job for you. Hope this helps!

A: After you set the brightness to your desired level open up a terminal and check what the brightness is set to by using
cat /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness

Then you can take that value and
sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Right above exit 0 add
echo your_value_here > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness

and then save the file.  This will permanently set the brightness to your value as rc.local is executed at each reboot.
Note: This only works if you have a file named brightness in /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/

A: @bigbash after setting the brightness to a desired set value i am typing this command, /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness, did the way u have suggested but it is not working.One more thing what ever value i set for brightness from settings after putting the above command always i am getting the same value i.e 15.

Kavan John Cotter (born 3 May 1999) is an English semi-professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for  club Wealdstone.

Career

Luton Town and loan spells
Born in Brent, Greater London, Cotter started his career with Arsenal's youth academy, before moving to Queens Park Rangers. He then joined Luton Town at under-13 level, with whom he started his scholarship. Cotter was a member of the under-18 team that won the Youth Alliance South East title and the Youth Alliance Cup in 2015–16, and also reached the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup, in which they lost 1–0 to Blackburn Rovers. He captained the under-18 team the following season and made his first-team debut in a 2–1 victory away to Gillingham in an EFL Trophy group stage match on 30 August 2016. Cotter signed a professional contract with Luton on 23 May 2017. After signing, manager Nathan Jones said "It will be a big year for him as it's going to be a year when he can see if he can bridge that gap and we'll give him every opportunity to do that".

On 11 August 2017, Cotter signed for Southern League Premier Division club Hitchin Town on a one-month youth loan. He made six league appearances before returning to Luton. Cotter rejoined Hitchin on a one-month youth loan on 22 September. The loan was extended for another month on 23 October, before later being extended for a third month on 21 November, having made 22 appearances for Hitchin up to that point in 2017–18. He was recalled by Luton on 5 December, and started in a 4–0 home win over West Ham United U21 in the EFL Trophy second round, in which he scored Luton's third goal. Cotter returned to Hitchin on a one-month youth loan three days later. Having made a further six appearances for Hitchin, Cotter returned to Luton after the loan expired. On 12 February 2018, he rejoined Hitchin on a one-month youth loan and made five further appearances. Cotter was loaned out again on 16 March, joining National League South club Oxford City for the rest of the season. He finished the loan with one goal from nine appearances, as Oxford finished the season 16th in the table. He was released by Luton at the end of the season.

Hemel Hempstead Town
Following his release by Luton, Cotter signed for National League South club Hemel Hempstead Town, who loaned him out to Kings Langley of the Southern League Premier Division South on 13 August 2018. His debut came the following day in a 4–2 home defeat to Harrow Borough and he completed the loan spell with five appearances. After returning to Hemel Hempstead, he made his debut for the club on 22 September in a 6–1 away win over Bowers & Pitsea in the FA Cup second qualifying round.

Wealdstone
Cotter signed for fellow National League South club Wealdstone on 28 May 2019.

"The minute he became available, we started getting calls from our partners in radio saying BBR Music Group was the perfect place for Craig and we should consider signing him. After spending some time with Craig and his new music, I was excited about what we could do together." said Benny Brown, President/ Owner of the BBR Music Group.
Earlier this year, Campbell scored his first Top 10 hit at Country radio with the catchy, up-tempo "Keep Them Kisses Comin'." The song maintained its momentum on the country charts even after his former label Bigger Picture Group closed its doors in May 2014.
Recently the talented songwriter checked another item off his bucket list with co-writing the song "All American Kid" featured on country music legend Garth Brooks' new album, MAN AGAINST THE MACHINE. To date, Campbell has achieved four consecutive charted hits with over a billion radio airplay audience impressions and over a half million downloads, including his Top 15 autobiographical debut single, "Family Man." The Georgia native racked up additional hits with fan-favorites "Fish" and "When I Get It" from his 2011 self-titled debut album, as well as Top 30 hit "Outta My Head," featured on his 2013 sophomore project, NEVER REGRET.
Currently, Campbell is in the studio working on new music and will be releasing a new single on RED BOW RECORDS in 2015.
Recently lauded by The Tennessean for its reputation of the development and revitalization of country music artists' careers, BBR Music Group is thrilled to have an act of Craig Campbell's caliber joining the music group family. Read the article here: http://hyperurl.co/BBRMusicGroupTN.
Additionally, Campbell has joined forces with Longshot Management, led by Rob Baker and day-to-day manager Camille Alston (Brett Eldredge) and Nashville boutique publicity firm Sweet Talk Publicity, spearheaded by industry veteran Jensen Sussman (Florida Georgia Line, Jake Owen).
Campbell is booked by William Morris Endeavor and is a SESAC songwriter.


DWI Attorneys Lansdale PA | Rubin, Glickman, Steinberg & Gifford, P.C.
Pennsylvania may soon be the latest state to order ignition interlock devices to be installed in the vehicles of first-time DUI offenders, according to FOX News. A proposed law would require some first-time DUI offenders to have the devices installed in their vehicles if the measure is passed by lawmakers. Ignition interlocks are breathalyzer-type devices that drivers blow into in order to start their cars. If they blow a blood-alcohol content level above a preset limit then the car will fail to start. Advocates for the law say the devices will help reduce DUI-related accidents while helping DUI offenders maintain their quality of life.
Under current law, only people convicted of multiple DUI offenses are automatically ordered by a court to have an ignition interlock device placed in their cars. First-time offenders instead face a one-year license suspension unless they qualify for the Accelerated Rehabilitative Discharge (ARD) program.
The proposed legislation would instead require first-time offenders with a blood-alcohol content level above 0.10 to install an ignition interlock device in their vehicles. Pennsylvania would be the 39th state to have such a law and lawmakers say they expect to have the political support necessary to pass the bill this session.
Some concerns have been raised about the proposal, including about funding and whether it is an overly harsh sentence for first-time offenders. However, generally there is fairly broad support for the measure, according to its advocates.
Critics of the current system say it is both unfair and ineffective, according to the Patriot-News. They point out that people who have a suspended license are often placed in the difficult position of either driving on a suspended license and thus risking further criminal charges or losing their jobs because they can no longer commute to work. Supporters of the bill point out that an estimated 70 percent of people continue to drive on a suspended license following a DUI conviction. Ignition interlocks would allow offenders to keep their driving privileges, thus making it easier to maintain a livelihood.
Although an ignition interlock may seem like a more reasonable sentence than losing one's driving privileges outright, the truth is that they are still a severe and intrusive punishment. People facing a DUI charge should, therefore, treat such charges extremely seriously. A criminal defense attorney should be contacted as soon as possible. Such an attorney can examine all angles of a DUI case in order to ensure that his clients' rights are upheld and that their best interests are represented by somebody with a deep knowledge and experience of the law.

Is workfare close to godliness? Some Christian charities seem to believe so
Sarah Ditum
The Salvation Army and YMCA have stepped into a murky moral swamp by joining forces with the government's mandatory work activity programme
Tue 19 Mar 2013 07.00 EDT First published on Tue 19 Mar 2013 07.00 EDT
Salvation Army HQ in London. 'Can they hear the voice of God over the clamour and cruelty of the DWP?' Photograph: David Levene for the Guardian
Confession: I'm not a very good atheist. I don't believe in God, or heaven or hell or redemption or anything like that. But I also don't believe that religion is a uniquely bad business that the world would be better rid of. I grew up, not within but alongside the low-church radicalism of the Salvation Army, where much of my extended family worship.
I know the hymns and I know the prayers and I know the good done by many Christians in the act of witness. Also, I can't gamble. I bought a lottery ticket when I turned 16, and the guilt-spangled memory of that transgression against Sally Army morals has served me fine for a decade and a half. I don't agree with Salvationist teaching on everything, but I admire the work that the Army and other Christian organisations have done particularly in combating poverty.
This means I have strong feelings about what comes next: the Salvation Army and fellow Christian charity the YMCA are supplying placements for Department for Work and Pensions-enforced mandatory work activity (otherwise known as "workfare"). For Symon Hill of the pressure group Christianity Uncut, this is a betrayal of their central mission: "Speaking personally, I wasn't surprised by some of the charities involved in workfare, but I was genuinely shocked by Salvation Army," he tells me.
Workfare requires jobseekers to undertake "work experience" for up to 30 hours a week over four weeks. The work is unpaid and the experience of uncertain value, but failure to complete a placement means forfeiting benefits. Workfare is coercive. It's of dubious legality too, though the DWP has a fix for that: it's attempting to retrospectively change the law so that those enrolled on the scheme can't reclaim docked benefits.
This is a moral swamp, but it's one the Salvation Army claims to be stepping into out of charity. "As a locally-based church and charity, devoted to serving God and showing unconditional Christian love to all, we offer support to help people become job-ready, to get a job and to stay in work," says a statement on the Salvation Army's website. "As such, we are involved in the work programme…" But the second part of that statement doesn't follow from the first: the Salvation Army could help people become "job-ready" in any number of ways that don't involve workfare.
It could offer interview coaching and support with applications. It could provide volunteer (rather than compulsory) work experience placements. It could do so many things that don't make it complicit in a scheme that undermines both the autonomy of individuals in need and the underlying principles of the welfare state. The YMCA is similarly defensive: "We […] find it difficult to condemn any scheme which carries potential to help individuals gain new skills or prepare for future employment."
But it's not at all clear that workfare even works. After all, what skills is anyone really going to acquire from a placement in a charity shop? That's where the Salvation Army placed 19-year-old Callum Kenny. He says he spent a week tagging clothes. Apparently, the role should have included advanced activities like "till operating" and "steam cleaning", but they never materialised (the Boycott Workfare campaign has documented similar cases). Kenny looks after his disabled mother, and he was able to leave his placement when his carer's allowance came through.
Those who rely on jobseeker's allowance alone don't have that freedom. The Salvation Army says: "We would be extremely concerned if a person turned down a mandatory work activity placement with The Salvation Army, because of any doubts they had about the support and welcome they will receive from us," which is thoughtful, but misses the point that some people will have principled objections to working for a faith organisation. For example, the Army's teaching on human sexuality is broadly tolerant, but then states: "marriage is a covenant between God and wife and husband." It would be reasonable, I think, if a gay person objected to supporting an organisation that teaches the invalidity of their relationships. And though the Army states that they "don't want any jobseekers to lose their benefits", the Army doesn't get to decide: it's simply provided by the framework within which the DWP can impose penalties.
"Give to him that asketh thee" says Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. I don't know my scripture so well, but I think that's an assertion of the godliness of redistribution, rather than a call to comply with Iain Duncan Smith's unpleasantness. This collaboration with the inhumanity of rulers seems like the opposite of "unconditional Christian love". I wonder if the Salvation Army and YMCA can hear that voice of God over the clamour and cruelty of the DWP.

We are a full service rat vet clinic providing care, diagnosis, and treatment. Pet rats are friendly, lovable, and smart pets that can learn tricks and are fun to own. They aren't too difficult to care for but if they get ill it can be serious. They usually don't exhibit signs of illness until they are extremely sick. Rats are prone to respiratory infections. If left untreated, a respiratory infection could become fatal. Increased staining (porphyrin) around nose or eyes may indicate high stress levels and illness. Weight loss is a key indicator something is wrong. Loss of appetite and decreased energy are red flags of illness.
As part of your pets wellness examination, we'll consult with you about your concerns and discuss specific needs of your rat such as diet. We will visually examine teeth, ears, eyes, mouth, and skin for signs of illness. If we find anything abnormal, we may do testing to diagnose possible illness.
Rats can get internal and external parasites including tapeworms, fleas, and ticks. These pests cause discomfort and may lead to serious illness. We offer parasite control medication to keep your rat pest free.
Our goal is to keep your pet rat(s) healthy and prevent illness. If your pet is injured or ill, rest assured that we have the tools necessary to diagnose the problem and offer state-of-the-art treatment. From blood testing and radiographs to ultrasound and endoscopy, we have the means to track down your pets' problems. Once the problem is uncovered we have the expertise, equipment, and the years of experience needed to provide the therapy or surgical procedures required to help our patients.
Like all rodents, rats teeth grow continuously their whole lives. Overgrown teeth can cause potentially fatal health problems. A tooth knocked out of alignment may prevent teeth from grinding down naturally. If you notice your rat losing weight, drooling, or struggling to eat, he may have a tooth abnormality or excessive growth that needs vet attention.

PCC Guided Pathways
Content, Creative Direction, Web Design, Web Development
See it live www.pasadena.edu/explore-your-career
California Community Colleges are piloting Guided Pathways in an effort to increase completion rates, reduce completion time, and increase equity among students. Moreover, Guided Pathways puts educational goals and career aspirations at the forefront for students. Pasadena City College (PCC) has adopted the Guided Pathways model, but has applied their own unique twists based on their own work via their Pathways program.
Guided Pathways transforms how community colleges onboard, support and guide students through their academic journeys. With this transformation not only comes an entirely new way of looking at success, but also how to achieve success. Part of this transformation is giving students tools to discover their strengths, their career goals, and clear paths and support to achieve those goals.
PCC asked us to be part of their journey of implementing Guided Pathways—branding, building and designing Guided Pathways for PCC.
Branding and Understanding Guided Pathways
Guided Pathways, for the most part, means nothing to students. When we first started working with PCC discussing Guided Pathways and how we would roll out this new concept to students, we all wanted to brand Guided Pathways. Call it something like "Onward" or "GPS." But the reality is this is not a one-time campaign or one-off initiative that will sunset. This is a transformation of the college and how they help students find out what they want to do for a living and how to achieve success.
With the focus moved away from naming Guided Pathways, we turned towards the major components of Guided Pathways, in particular, Career Communities. Career Communities help a student understand where their strengths and skills align with careers, gives them resources and support through their academic journey and integrate them in a community of students seeking likeminded paths.
It was through Career Communities that we began developing a unique visual brand while maintaining the overarching PCC brand. We wanted to give each community its only identity but show that Guided Pathways and Career Communities are inherently all of PCC, not just a select audience. Working with PCC's graphics team, we developed unique color palettes for each community and then built upon these using gradients of all the colors to show the cohesion amongst communities and the college.
How many know what they want to do with the rest of their lives at 18? We're sure there are some, but the vast majority, especially at the community college level don't, nor have been exposed to tools to better understand their strengths, goals, and options. Much of the infrastructure to support Guided Pathways is being built as we write this, but for PCC we wanted to roll out the foundations for what is at the core of Guided Pathways—better equipping students with knowledge and support to get in, get out and get a career.
Our first project was to build tools to give students a single location to:
Explore career options.
Take a survey to understand their talents, strengths, and interests.
Discover programs available at PCC.
Explore Career Communities at PCC and the careers that align to particular career communities.
Power of Career Data
A major part of empowering students with the knowledge to choose programs and careers is to understand the outcomes of program choices. We implemented Career Snapshot within PCC's Career Communities to give students career information about:
All data is pulled directly from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and ONet. Learn more about Career Snapshot.
A Major Shift
Changing course when you're on a bicycle is easy. Changing course when you're on a ship is a bit more difficult.
Although the focus of Guided Pathways is the students, without faculty and staff engaged and on board, Guided Pathways doesn't stand a chance. We worked with PCC's leadership group to build out an internal communication website, as well as solidify and edit messaging, to empower faculty and staff with knowledge, resources, and information to help them better understand PCC's implementation of Guided Pathways. The site also acts as a transparent location to inform the public, other institutions and track PCC's progress as they progress through implementation.
The site is in its infancy, continuing to grow and develop alongside Guided Pathways at PCC.

Towards a 3D Aesthetic

PUT ON YOUR 3D GLASSES… NOW!
"The cinema of the future will be in colour and three dimensions, since life is in colour and three dimensions," said Erich Von Stroheim, probably adding, "and everyone will wear authentic period underwear." First, let me say that Von's well-documented knicker fetish may have been in operation when he insisted on his extras wearing the right undies, but the right underclothes affect how the outer clothes appear, and so he wasn't being crazy or perverse to insist on absolute authenticity. I imagine in 3D it would be even more important. Oh yes, 3D, that's what I was supposed to be writing about.
In AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER, there's an action sequence in which one of the youngsters is pursued by an alien shark-thing. What makes it particularly effective is the way our cyanated hero hides amid coral outcrops which the predatory fish tries to bash through. Whenever 3D is particularly effective, it gives us a clue as to what it might be FOR. Here, we have a situation in which at least three visual layers are dramatically activated — the hero's, the shark-thing's, and the intervening coral, for starters. The far distance is a passive element but does add immersion. Also, we're literally immersed, underwater you know — so there's the possibility for floating particles and smaller fish to decorate the frame and keep our eyeballs excited, And, as the hero swims backwards away from the threat, the camera moves with him and so new coral outcrops come heaving into view, surprising us.
Two things are happening — the concept of DEPTH is important to the action — the distance between blue boy and shark-thing is an actual matter of life and death — and the excitement is enhanced by a lot of foreground and midground activity.
It's a shame that the talkie scenes in ATWOW are so choppy and random, because it seems to me that at least some of the same principles could be enlisted for dramatic dialogue sequences.
Hitchcock's DIAL M FOR MURDER tries to keep its long expository scenes lively by enlisting the foreground — there are more shots from behind lamps here than in THE IPCRESS FILE, and with seemingly less reason. TIF was a spy film, so the camera behaved like a spy. DMFM is a filmed play, and so Hitch settles for reminding us of the 3D to get a "you are there" quality, suggesting but not actually recapturing the thrill of live performance. But in the standout scene, the murder attempt on Grace Kelly, again depth becomes almost a character — the would-be strangler lurks behind her, murderous sash in hands, but she's holding the telephone to her ear and he has to wait until her hand's out of the way.
I promise this isn't just a list of cool 3D sequences. It IS that, but each of them is nudging us towards an appreciation of what the form can do. I'm also going to mention some flat scenes that seem like they might work really well with the added dimension.
The AVATAR film has a lot of forwards camera movement. This is pretty effective in a forest, but sideways movement — as I pointed out regarding FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN — can be better. (I tend to suspect the film's visual pleasures derive more from Antonio Marghertiti than from credited helmer Paul Morrissey.) The thing about forward movement is that it already feels three dimensional, because of the way the perspective changes. An exponential zoom or trombone shot might look really neat though. In Welles' CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT a sudden lateral tracking shot in a forest sets of a shimmer of captivating motion, because the foreground trees are passing the camera rapidly, the midground ones more slowly, and the far distant ones slower still. The different layers overtaking one another. It's rapturous. I don't want upscaling to 3D, but I do want filmmakers to borrow the right kinds of scenes for new 3D movies.
(Welles doesn't NEED 3D, his films are so lively, dimensional, vigorous in all their pan-focus deep staging, but it's fascinating to imagine what he might have come up with. The Michael Redgrave curiosity shop in ARKADIN would be momentous in depth.)
The Wim Wenders production CATHEDRALS OF CULTURE dealt with "the soul of buildings" — lots of tracking shots down hallways, none of them very effective — until we got a curved hallway, and then things got interesting. So it seems that straightahead single vanishing-point shots of the Kubrick variety are less effective than oblique, curving approaches. Ophuls would be the guy to look at for inspiration, or the Italians.
"The best inside-a-mouth shot I ever saw was in JAWS 3D," said Martin Scorsese in Edinburgh, "A shark eating its victim, filmed from the inside, in 3D — a new low in taste!" And I believed him, until a friend told me it was the one effective spot in the film — a diver is swallowed whole and trapped in the shark — if he tries to swim out, he'll be bitten in two. It puts you on the spot. And apparently Cameron's seen that one, because he has a protag swim into a whale-thing's mouth in ATWOW, there to mind-meld with its Day-Glo epiglottis.
My favourite shot in Joe Dante's THE HOLE is when a kid lies on his back and throws a baseball in the air, catching it, re-throwing it. The camera is overhead, so the ball flies towards us, runs out of momentum, pauses, and drops away again. It provoked a gleeful reaction from the audience. It's sort of decorative, I guess, but it's not only permissible but desirable for a filmmaker to explore the visual possibilities of a situation. 3D seems to kick in on the second or third film, once the filmmakers' have gotten used to it and have worn out the obvious ploys. Dante had shot a stereoscopic funfair ride prior to this one. Other filmmakers who have paid more than one visit to the third dimension are Cameron, Fleischer, Oboler, Arnold, Ridley Scott. Not sure Zemeckis ever improved. One issue is that the medium, if that's what it is, hasn't always been in the hands of the most expressive or adventurous filmmakers. William Castle! Lew Landers! Pete Walker! Harry Fucking Essex!
Throwing things at the audience has never really been the best way to get an effect. In CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, the best stuff tends to be slower — the slo-mo explosion at the start is exciting because you have time to appreciate the balletic motion of the rocks tumbling at you through space — it looks forward to the joy of GRAVITY, still the best 3D movie I've seen. All the same, I feel sorry for the creature.
(My enjoyment of moving vehicles in ATWOW doesn't extend to the boat in CREATURE, probably because it's standing still in front of a rear projection screen — the action feels like a couple of flat layers, something you might see in a toy theatre.)
Alfonso Cuaron's space epic was the first film I ever saw in 3D that actually made me flinch, whenever bits of tiny space shrapnel zinged past. Interestingly, they got the effect by NOT firing them right at me. I was involuntarily blinking, and having more fun doing so than I ever did in a real life experience. But the movie's true pleasure was in slower action — when Sandra Bullock, spacewalking, is in danger of losing a vital tool, Fiona actually reached up to grab the astro-spanner or whatever it was before it escaped. One again, space and distance were dramatically in play, and the 3D enhanced the fact.
A sequence that would work magnificently in three dimensions is the attack on the big car in Cuaron's previous CHILDREN OF MEN. It's already a (fake) long take, an aesthetic that suits the medium, not for the moving camera aspect so much as for the pleasure of looking at depth photography for long enough to appreciate its visual pleasures. And it's a moving vehicle interior, something that works magnificently in ATWOW for the few seconds Cameron allows us in his helicopter gunships. It's slightly mysterious already how Cuaron's long take seems to enhance the terror of the occupants of the besieged car — maybe it has more to do with the fact that we don't go outside, so we really feel trapped in the situation. The long take becomes an excuse for an excitingly restricted viewpoint. In 3D, we'd have all kinds of moving parts on different planes, mindblowing overstimulation for the eyeball combined with panicky confinement and a lot of urgency from the cast of actors we're locked in with.
Scorsese may be the most visually imaginative director to use 3D, perhaps next to Godard (I've never had a chance to see ADIEU AU LANGAGE in 3D and get the headache JLG planned for me). I love HUGO — maybe it's seriously imperfect as a film but it gets value for money from it's visual depth. Lots of cinders and dust motes in the air — lovely. Two great close-ups, one where Sacha Baron Cohen looms ever closer to us, his nose an accusation, another where we move slowly in on Ben Kinglsey, his face becoming more and more dimensionally solid, hovering before us, enormous, like one of those Easter Island jobs but alive and responsive. You get to experience a very very familiar thing, the human face, in a new way — and seeing things afresh is a big part of what art is about.
It's possible Scorsese was influenced by the opening of William Camron Menzies' THE MAZE, in which a female narrator talks to camera while slowly advancing upon us. It gets increasingly freaky but also hilarious. It would be interesting to see more deliberately funny 3D — I wonder what could be done with visual gags. Keaton, Lester and Tati sometimes made comedy about the camera's INABILITY to correctly judge distance: Buster would make mistakes like jumping on the wrong horse which only make sense from the camera's position, not from his. I wonder what he might do with a genuine sense of depth?
Height may be the dimension filmmakers forget about. The early desert landscapes of Douglas Sirk's TAZA, SON OF COCHISE are breathtaking, because they arrange the action in cascading planes / plains. The scene with the lineman up the pylon in Jack Arnold's IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE are similarly thrilling — Arnold, not normally the most inventive filmmaker, was sensitive enough to keep learning, and he got to make more 3D movies in the 50s than just about anyone. Something about these high angles really works for me — a sense of vertigo, dramatic space, multiple active layers.
I'm still cross I never got to see PINA in 3D — I suppose I could have forgone my snobbery and seen one of those other 3D dancing films. It seems like a good medium for dance, though KISS ME KATE doesn't prove anything either way. It'd be a great medium for scultpure also, but so far the closest thing to that is Herzog's CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS, which gets most of its best effects out of the shallow curvature of cave walls, a lovely and counterintuitive exploitation of the medium's possibilities. In a flat film, camera movement makes sculpture appreciable, but 3D would work very nicely with or in place of tracking shots. Somebody should have done Henry Moore.
The pornographers were not slow to seize upon the form, but without any distinguished results that I'm aware of. It seems possible that 3D could amplify what Billy Wilder called "flesh impact." The kind of shot that would work would be Ursula Andress emerging from the sea in DR. NO. A variation on the sculptural principle. Just as good with men — Daniel Craig would do well. And the sculptural approach could enhance physiognomic interest, as we see in HUGO. A long examination of an interesting face — Brendan Gleeson would be a gift to the stereographer. Linda Hunt. A few young actors are also interesting, even if their features lack the distinguishing crenellations: Anya Taylor-Joy, Thomas Brodie-Sangster. Or Beany and Cecil?
What this seems to show is that the uses of 3D might be quite specific. I think James Cameron imagines, like Stroheim, that all movies should be 3D movies. But we don't want to go to the trouble of putting the specs on for just anything (I see they finally invented clip-ons for glasses wearers like me — the medium finally catches up with its audience's needs, just before it rolls over and dies). I'd say that if a film naturally has a few highlights that really benefit from a 3D approach, it might be worth going that route, and then modifying the script slightly to make sure there are more worthwhile opportunities.
Without getting too silly about it.

New podcast up!
http://traffic.libsyn.com/theshadowcast/letsgetsmall.mp3
Fiona and I take a microscopically close look at the TIMELY and IMPORTANT subject of human miniaturization, with a particular focus on THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, FANTASTIC VOYAGE and INNERSPACE. Mike Clelland suggested the middle film, and from there things kind of snowballed. Shout-out to Mike.
Still audibly suffering from slight colds on this one, but the NEXT one was recorded earlier and you'll hear some seriously bunged-up sinuses on that. Here, we just sound like a sexy, husky couple of Glynis Johnses, than which nothing could be better.
The discussion also encompasses (or brushes past) DOWNSIZING, FIRST PAVILION, BODY TROOPERS, THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN, and there are audio extracts from… well, I'll let that be a surprise (and perhaps a mystery). Momo the podcat offers his views on the miniature human's potential as snack.
Annoyed with myself for failing to mention the excellent (if slightly racist) miniaturization joke in Kurt Vonnegut's Slapstick, which demonstrates the virtue of sandwiching virtually a whole novel between set-up and pay-off (more authors should try that). So I'm mentioning it here.
The 30s novelette He Who Shrank which is quoted from is by Henry Hasse and is worth seeking out online. Other literary works referred to are Richard Matheson's all-important The Shrinking Man, Isaac Asimov's Fantastic Voyage II: Electric Boogaloo*, Alice in Wonderland and The Arabian Nights.
The audio mixes at the start and end are designed to make genre fans dance around the room in a gleeful sugar rush. Let us know if this happens. Send photographic evidence. Very small people may already be inside all of us. Is there a message you would like passed on?
*Not its actual title.
Stereoscopic Amphibian
Posted in FILM with tags 3D, Emilio Fernandez, Enamorada, Il Cinema Ritrovato, Jack Arnold, Maria Felix, Martin Scorsese, Revenge of the Creature on June 24, 2018 by dcairns
Put your glasses on now!
We rocked up too late at the Piazza Maggiore last night, hoping to see Emilio Fernandez' ENAMORADA, but there were no seats, owing to the Scorsese Effect — the great man was introducing the movie and a lot of people came just for that. We ended up being among them as the idea of standing for the whole feature film was a little too much — it looked AMAZING though (shot by Gabriel Figueroa) so we'll have to catch it another time at a less spectacular venue (probably our home), outwith this festival.
We tried to compensate by seeing REVENGE OF THE CREATURE in 3D at midnight, which is no substitute. If your heart is set on Maria Felix then no gillman, however charismatic, can take her place. And as for John Agar, you can see why they named a jelly after him. But it was worth it to see the amphibious protagonist raid a lobster house during a jazz performance — the close shot of the trombone player was suitably stereoscopic.
All the same, I can't help feeling sorry for the creature.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — A total of 81 members of the U.S. House of Representatives will be touring Israel this month.
Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), the minority whip, is leading a trip of 26 Democrats that landed Monday in Israel.
"I look forward to returning to Israel to continue learning firsthand about the evolving security situation in the Middle East, the deep challenges facing Israel, and the role the United States can play in the region during this time of uncertainty," said Hoyer, who has led multiple such trips in the past.
The delegation will meet with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. The trip is paid for by the American Israel Education Foundation, the nonprofit educational affiliate of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
The foundation is similarly funding two separate trips by 55 Republican House members in the subsequent two weeks led by Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the majority leader.
The GOP delegation is reportedly top heavy with freshmen brought to office by the Tea Party sweep in the 2010 election. Pro-Israel groups have stepped up their outreach to such lawmakers, who favor heavy budget cuts, in a bid to maintain across-the-board support for the $3 billion Israel receives in annual defense assistance.
Both groups will meet with top Israeli and Palestinian leaders.
Separately, The Israel Project is bringing to Israel 19 Washington-based ambassadors from an array of small to midsize nations in Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and the Far East. The ambassadors will meet with top Israeli and Palestinian leaders, as well as with some of the U.S. Congress members and officials invested in Palestinian economic development.
The Israel Project has launched a campaign against the expected bid for Palestinian statehood recognition at the United Nations next month. The group is emphasizing that economic development serves Palestinian needs better than the U.N. bid.
