Craving Disaster: Interview with Actor Delpaneaux Wills
GuestContributor
40 Days and Nights
Delpaneaux Wills' most recent movie, "40 Days and 40 Nights," is making literal waves with audiences. Movie Vine sat down with the actor and discussed what action movies inspire him and why it is that audiences love watching disasters so much.
Katie: Welcome to Movie Vine, Delpaneaux.
Delpaneaux: Hey. Thanks for having me
Katie: You have an exciting project to discuss with us today. Your new movie, "40 Days and Nights," hit DVD shelves and Video On Demand sites on November 27th. It looks to be a modern day Noah's Ark, but with a sci-fi twist. What else can you tell us about this flick?
Delpaneaux: Well, it was a fun film to make. "40 Days and Nights" is a film about a colossal tectonic shift that causes the sea level to start rising, a microbiologist gathers the DNA of as many species as she can, while the military creates an "ark" in a desperate attempt to preserve life on Earth.
Katie: In the movie, you play the character, Fishel, a meteorologist. I have a few guesses considering the volume of precipitation in the trailer, but how does Fishel factor into the world of "40 Days and Nights?"
Delpaneaux: I am part of a group of meteorologists that are sent out in the beginning of the film to survey the planet and atmosphere, because there were reports of huge storms brewing.
Katie: How did you get involved with the project?
Delpaneaux: I auditioned for another role in the film, but I did not get it. Then I was called by Gerald Webb, who does most of the casting for [independent production company] The Asylum and he offered me the role of FISHEL. The Asylum produces a lot of sci-fi films.
Katie: The movie looks epic. The trailer, which can be viewed here, features crazy action sequences and explosions, in addition to a giant wall of water overtaking the earth. Did you have to do any death-defying stunts while working on the project?
Delpaneaux: No. I did not partake in any death-defying stunts. Most of my scenes were shot in an airplane, which was pretty safe. Although, I did get soaked a couple of times from the rain machine.
Dark town
Katie: Have you had previous experience with demanding action roles?
Delpaneaux: Yes, I have. Playing a college vampire in the film "Darktown" was a grueling shoot. We filmed mostly at night, which means my sleep was messed up. I had lot of fight scenes and there was a lot of blood.
Katie: As an actor, do you find more physical roles harder to prepare for, or easier? What sort of skills do you employ?
Delpaneaux: I find that physical roles are easier to prepare for, because you can rely on the physicality of the scene to portray the message. Like, if you are a boxer in a film, most of the time people can see your emotions through the way you fight. For physical roles, I like to over-train for a project. So, that I really know what it takes to be in that world. When I do that, it seems like I can portray that character to the best of my ability.
Katie: How was working with director Peter Geiger? Did he have a specific vision for the world of the movie?
Delpaneaux: Working with Peter Geiger was great. He let you be yourself and have fun with character.
Katie: Did you and your castmates have a good time acting on such a wild sci-fi movie? Are you a sci-fi and action movie fan?
Delpaneaux: My cast mates had a great time on this film. Yes, I am a fan of all sci-fi films and action movies, specifically martials arts films.
Katie: Disaster movies are extremely popular right now. In fact, directors like Roland Emmerich have made a career out of producing them in all their computer-generated glory. What do you think it is about watching harrowing natural disasters on the big screen that is so attractive to audiences currently?
Delpaneaux: I think people love to be at the edge of their seat, but in the back of their minds, they know that everything will be okay.
Katie: Do you think "40 Days and Nights" will satisfy that craving with viewers?
Delpaneaux: Yes, I think this film will definitely satisfy the fans and their cravings. The Asylum knows the sci-fi genre very well.
Katie: Have you gotten a chance to see the finished cut of the film yet? Did you enjoy?
Delpaneaux: Yes, I have seen it. I loved it.
Chasing A Dream
Katie: In your acting career, you've played a wide array of characters, including some really compelling figures, such as African track star Seneca Keflezi in the Lifetime movie, "Chasing a Dream." What's your favorite role to date?
Delpaneaux: Every character I play in a film is my favorite role to date. No, I'm kidding, Seneca Keflezi pushed me, but due to the physical nature of this role, this is my favorite to date.
Katie: What do you look for in a script? What traits attract you to a role?
Delpaneaux: I like to look at scripts that have human qualities. If I look at a script and after reading it, I want to call my mom and tell her I love her. Then that's the script for me.
Katie: Your acting resume features roles in sci-fi and horror movies, more mainstream TV fare like Saving Grace, soap operas, and you've even voiced a video game. Do you have any dream projects you'd still like to work on?
Delpaneaux: Yes, I would love to be a new character on "The Walking Dead" or "Game of Thrones." Mostly, I just want to do films that touch people's lives.
Katie: Speaking of films that touch people's lives–what's your all time favorite action movie?
Delpaneaux: "Young Guns" and "American Ninja."
Katie: Excellent choices! Thank you for taking the time to speak with us, Delpaneaux.
Delpaneaux: No, problem. It was a pleasure.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jinf.2004.05.003
Objectives: To assess any change in the microbiological profile of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in our region over the last 20 years.
Methods: We compared hospital admissions aged between 15 and 74 (n = 61) in Norfolk (UK) for CAP over a 19-month period in 1982-3 (ST1) with all admissions aged over 16 (n = 99) over a 14-month period in 1999-2000 (ST2). Data were collected for ST1 as part of a prospective multicentred research study, in a period of high Mycoplasma pneumoniae activity. ST2 was a prospective study of clinical practice. Chlamydophila species were differentiated in ST2 using whole-cell immunofluorescence.
Results: A microbiological diagnosis was made in 38 (62%) in ST1 compared with 48 (48%) in ST2. Streptococcus pneumoniae remained the most common pathogen (26% in ST1, 25% in ST2). The incidence of M. pneumoniae was 18% in ST1 and 4% in ST2. The proportion of viral pathogens identified was similar: nine (15%) in ST1 and 14 (14%) in ST2. No cases of Chlamydophila pneumoniae were diagnosed in ST2.
Conclusions: The microbiological profile of CAP in Norfolk (UK) has not changed over the last 20 years and C. pneumoniae is not a frequent pathogen.

After learning how to use our fantastic Mr. Fox ears, these preschoolers and pre-k kids were all about the details. Each class had only 30 minutes with Whitney to work on their Winter Starry Nights, which was a reinterpretation of Van Gogh's painting in varying hues of blue yarn. Each students made a constellation of gold stars (gold-spray painted rocks) before using swirls to represent the wind in Great Falls. Some students preferred to line up their rows of yarn as if were a calm, still day and others captured the harsh, biting feel of the Rocky Mountain Front with their chaotic swirls of cold air.
The only thing missing that day in December was a hot cup of cocoa with marshmallows!

Q: Wacom Integration into java I just got a signature pad from wacom, the STU 430 and I want to integrate into my Java application.
I downloaded the SDK signature, installed it and then I installed the samples to try it but there's a problem with that.
I can't execute any code so I can't start developing because of the library of the device, let me show u.

I tried to put the library into classes at the package com.wacom.sdk.sample but then there's another Error like: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.wacom.sdk.sample.TestSigCapt.
How can I solve this error? / How can I integrate this device?

A: First of all, you need to install all the components on the machine as the documentation states (I was doing this with a linux machine before). Follow the doccumentation:
On Linux:

*

*Linux-STU-SDK-Guide.pdf

On Windows:

*

*STU-SDK Getting Started.pdf     - Getting started guide

*STU-SDK Redistribution.pdf      - Deployment guide

*STU-SigCaptX-Guide.pdf          - Cross browser guide

If I can recall correctly you need to install drivers and different connectors to be able to use the provided examples. For further information and downloads of the referenced documents and SDK-s please visit: https://developer.wacom.com
After the necessary component installation (and documentation read) you can proceed to the testing, the part where you have your exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException. This means (in most of the cases) that your classpath (or modulepath) does not contain the necessary .jar files which has the .class files necessary to run your program. To fix this there are multiple options:

*

*you can specify -cp

*you can alter the MANIFEST.MF according to the documentation
Either way your application should start if you follow the documentation and setup your project accordingly.

A: According to your exception message, this question/answer might solve it:
How to set the java.library.path in intelliJ Idea
...and when run outside intelliJ, ensure the (system/runtime/..) property java.library.path is set and points to a location of flsx.jar.
("A million ways" to set java properties: setting system property)
And to "put the cart before the horse":
Grab the output of System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.library.path")) (It should not be blank by default..os, jvm and runtime dependant), and copy your jar to (one of) the locations. ;)

A: Actually fixed, just updated windows. The problem was my version of windows 7 was not supporting external signatures.

Pfizer temporarily reduces European deliveries of vaccine
JAN M. OLSEN
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — U.S. pharmaceutical company Pfizer confirmed Friday it will temporarily reduce deliveries to Europe of its COVID-19 vaccine while it upgrades production capacity to 2 billion doses per year.
The EU Commission chief said she'd immediately called Pfizer's CEO. But in an indication the issue might go beyond Europe, Canada's government said it was also affected.
Line Fedders, a spokeswoman for Pfizer Denmark, said that to meet the new 2 billion dose target Pfizer is upscaling production at its plant in Puurs, Belgium, which "presupposes adaptation of facilities and processes at the factory which requires new quality tests and approvals from the authorities."
"As a consequence, fewer doses will be available for European countries at the end of January and the beginning of February," she said.
"This temporary reduction will affect all European countries," she said in a statement to The Associated Press.
Germany's Health Ministry said Friday Pfizer had informed the European Commission, which was responsible for ordering vaccines from the company, that it won't be able to fulfill all of the promised deliveries in the coming three to four weeks.
The ministry said German officials took note of the unexpected announcement by the Commission "with regret" because the company had made binding delivery commitments by mid-February.
"The federal and state governments expect the EU Commission to provide clarity and certainty as soon as possible in negotiations with Pfizer about further deliveries and delivery dates," the statement said.
The Commission sealed the vaccine deals on behalf of all 27 member states, but is not responsible for the timetable and deliveries.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she had "immediately called the CEO of Pfizer."
"He reassured me that all guaranteed doses of the first quarter will be delivered in the first quarter. He is personally on the case on reducing the delay period and to make sure that they will catch up as soon as possible," von der Leyen said.
Earlier Friday Commission health policy spokesman Stefan de Keersmaecker said deliveries are made on the basis of purchase orders and specific contracts that are concluded between the member states and the companies.
"The specificities of these arrangements are laid down in these purchase orders or contracts," he said.
The Commission has secured up to 600 million extra doses of the Pfizer vaccine that's produced in partnership with Germany's BioNTech.
Pfizer's Belgian plant supplies all shots delivered outside the United States, including Canada where procurement minister Anita Anand said Friday that the U.S. drug-maker is temporarily reducing deliveries because of issues with its European production lines. While the company said it still was able to deliver four million doses by the end of March, that is no longer guaranteed, she said.
Canadian officials said the reduction means Canada's vaccine shipments will be cut in half for the next month.
The country has received just 380,000 doses of the vaccine so far and was supposed to get another 400,000 this month, and is expecting almost two million doses in February.
Norwegian authorities also said Friday they had been notified by Pfizer about the reduction that will start next week as the company raises its annual dose target from the current 1.3 billion.
"We had predicted 43,875 vaccine doses from Pfizer in week 3. Now it seems that we get 36,075 doses," said Geir Bukholm, director of infection control at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
"The stock we now have will be able to compensate for a reduction in the planned deliveries for a few weeks ahead if there is a need for this," he said.
In Finland, broadcaster YLE said the delay would cause domestic delivery problems at the end of January and the beginning of February.
Danish officials expressed concern.
"We are in a race with coronavirus and the new more contagious virus variant," Health Minister Magnus Heunicke said. "Therefore, we take the decline in deliveries very seriously."
Henrik Ullum, head of Statens Serum Institut, a government agency that maps the spread of the coronavirus in Denmark, said he expected the development to mean that "in the coming time we can vaccinate fewer than first assumed."
Samuel Petrequin and Raf Casert in Brussels, Frank Jordans in Berlin and Rob Gillies in Toronto contributed.

Germany to favour cleaner motorcycles
Government to introduce tax differential in advance of EU emissions directive; lobbying for tougher laws
The German government plans to link motorcycle road tax to emissions from next year, favouring motorcycles which meet tough EU standards proposed by the European Commission in June.
The draft EU motorcycle emissions directive is designed to cut carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions thereby acting as a tool for member states' compliance with 2010 targets for ambient air quality and national emissions ceilings. Without new standards, motorcycle emissions are expected to rise. For instance, HC emissions from motorcycles are forecast to rise to 13.7% of total vehicle HC emissions in the EU by 2010 and 20% by 2020 under current standards.
The directive would apply to all new models from 2003, and all new motorcycles from 2004. Tougher limits are foreseen for 2006. The 2003/2004 limits would require 60% reductions in CO and HC emissions for four-stroke engined models and 70% for HC and 30% for CO from two-stroke models. NOx limits for two-stroke motorcycles would be relaxed slightly to bring them into line with four-strokes.
Germany, which has seen a doubling in motorcycle registrations in the last ten years, has been lobbying the EU to introduce more stringent exhaust and noise emissions laws (ENDS Daily 4 October) arguing that technology which has been applied to reduce pollutants from cars should also be required for motorcycles.
The draft EU directive, like previous vehicle emission directives, includes provisions allowing member states to introduce fiscal incentives which go beyond proposed standards.

Pedestrian killed on Augusta Road makes 3 in Greenville County in just over 24 hours A pedestrian was killed in a Saturday night accident in Greenville. Check out this story on greenvilleonline.com: https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/2019/09/15/pedestrian-killed-augusta-road-makes-3-greenville-sc-24-hours/2333612001/
Kathy Pierre, The Greenville News Published 9:17 a.m. ET Sept. 15, 2019 | Updated 9:27 a.m. ET Sept. 15, 2019
A person "standing in the roadway" on Augusta Road in Greenville was struck by a vehicle and killed Saturday night, according to Senior Deputy Coroner Kent Dill and the state Highway Patrol, marking the third pedestrian killed on Greenville County roads in just over 24 hours.
Saturday night's incident took place on Augusta Road near the intersection of Garrison Road around 10:40 p.m., according to the Highway Patrol. A Volkswagen SUV was traveling north on Augusta Road and hit the pedestrian, who "was standing in the roadway," according to the Highway Patrol.
The pedestrian has not yet been identified.
The driver was not injured, and no charges are expected against the driver, according to the Highway Patrol.
A 38-year-old man from Gaffney, Jonathan Douglas Dowdle, was struck by a commercial truck and killed about 9:15 Friday on U.S. 276 in Mauldin, and a 70-year-old woman from Greenville, Goldie Reeves, was struck by a sedan about 5 a.m. Saturday on Wade Hampton Boulevard.
"There's nothing that makes us think there's any connection with any of these cases," Dill said. "They're geographically diverse. The stories are totally different. It just was — I really believe as much as anything else — just a coincidence."

Cassini–Huygens (still) is a spacecraft designed and launched into space mainly by NASA to reach planet Saturn. It's not the first space probe sent to Saturn, but it is the first to enter its orbit and ultimately kamikaze its way into destruction. All while sending incredible images and data of both Saturn and its moon Titan.
Cassini's journey began on October 15, 1997 and will end on September 15, 2017 in a controlled crash into Saturn, after "waving" to Venus and Jupiter as well. It had attached a lander (Huygens) that successfully sent data about Saturn's moon Titan back to Cassini. It's been in space for 20 years and its destruction is mandatory to avoid a possible contamination of Saturn's moons.
Don't feel bad for it, as the data it sent so far will be studied for years to come and offer incredible insights as it plunges into Saturn. What you can do though is follow its journey with several Android apps, to see its amazing 20-year journey. A preview of Cassini's GrandFinale was also published by NASA on YouTube:
Here are some of the Android apps you can use to follow Cassini's final descent and visualize its path so far:
NASA's Android app
With NASA's flagship Android app you can tune into NASA TV and watch their transmissions live. Cassini's #GrandFinale will be broadcasted live so you can use the app to view its final minutes as well. NASA's app offers much more than that, with thousands of images and videos that are actively updated, so my suggestion is to keep the app installed. It's refreshing to see humanity doing more than menial tasks, and space exploration is one of those ultimate goals.
NASA's app will let you:
Access more than 30,000 space-related media items (photos and videos)
Watch live NASA TV, which also broadcasts important events such as Cassini's final decent
Watch live ISS streams
Track satellites in 2D/3D maps
Get news and other important information from NASA
You can also view NASA TV live by visiting https://www.nasa.gov/live from your Android browser.
SkySafari
SkySafari is available both for Android and iOS and it is one of the best astronomy apps out there. Thus a must have for any wannabe astronomer. With it you can also follow Cassini's journey, all the way from the beginning. You can follow its entire 20-year mission but most importantly watch its flight path in realtime as it descends into Saturn.
Just start the app and search for Cassini. Select the Satellite icon from that list (you might not know yet but there are several other objects called Cassini) and you'll end up on a dedicated page for it. You'll be able to preview its journey and watch in realtime its #GrandFinale.
SkySafari offers much more than this, so again a must-keep Android app for astronomers:
Locate stellar objects in their vast database and see their exact locations from your position
Learn about anything astronomy-related, including NASA's space missions
120,000 stars and over 200 star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies plus all major planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and satellites (ISS included)
Animated meteor showers and eclipses
Google Maps Integration to show you stellar objects based on your exact location
Deep Space Network Now
This isn't an Android app but a web app, however you can easily visit the url from your smartphone. The Deep Space Network Now is a realtime monitoring tool that lets you keep in touch with the spacecrafts that explore the universe right now. You can use DSN to monitor Cassini. You will see a graphical display that shows the main NASA's antennas and which spacecraft they are receiving transmissions from.
Cassini is labeled as CAS and clicking on it will bring up more info about the mission. You will see in realtime when the transmission ends and Cassini's last "breath" is received.
NASA has many more mobile apps for iOS and Android in case you are interested: https://www.nasa.gov/connect/apps.html
I'm proud for NASA's achievements and I believe that space exploration is one of our main goal as a race. Ultimately I'd love to live to see the discovery of alien life and why not colonization of Mars or other planets. If only I'd live that long…

He thinks his job is to bark at anyone [who approaches or enters the house, quite ferociously, and I am afraid it could, sadly, readily escalate.] Now I am using a crate in the main living space. He is much more re-directable in the crate. Friends who visit understand that he will bark a bit. I reward him any time he is quiet. Then I change it up to any time he is lying down. Then finally when he is in a relaxed pose (head resting). He's learning. Friends give him treats to help more. And I give a "jackpot" reward both with people arrive and I shut him in the crate as well as when people are leaving to distract him from even thinking about barking and associating their leaving with his barking. I'd hate for him to think his barking accomplishes something.
Third, Magnus is still learning about the great, big outside world. He does great in our neighborhood, but he needs exposure to many more things out there. Whoever dumped Magnus obviously did not do anything to socialize the pup, unfortunately. He had not been housebroken (he is now, thankfully) or exposed to anything in the real world. Sigh.
Fourth, Magnus has a fear of getting into a car. Not sure if he associates a car with being taken and dumped. I fed him his "meals" (I take a treat approach to all food, carrying his food in a treat bag on my hip rewarding good behavior and teaching him new, desirable behaviors) for a full week in the back seat of the car. Now he will get into my vehicle, although sometimes he balks a little bit. Then I use treats on the edge of the door frame and gradually encourage him into the vehicle. Improving with time, but not yet a thing of the past.
Fifth, Magnus can easily get depressed if repeatedly left alone for long periods of time (or even left out in the yard while we are in the house). Thankfully, that doesn't tend to be an issue because my husband is home most days. This is a breed trait from what I can gather. He really would do better with someone home more than not.
I want what is best for Magnus, so I want to be straightforward about what to expect. Are you comfortable continuing to work diligently on these issues? Will you be around more than not to help Magnus? When I take him to new environments, I have to work to get him calm, then he can handle it. He has trouble focusing on treats and heeling when overwhelmed. After a few minutes of walking around, he settles and trusts me. Then we encounter the next thing. It takes time and effort, but Magnus deserves to have the chance to be a well-balanced adult. I wish someone had worked with him before he arrived in our home. But now there's no looking back, just forward.
He really is a sweet puppy, devoted and loving toward us. And a goof, too. He's a lumbering giant, and the whole floor shakes when he plops down on the ground. Spends a lot of time lounging and relaxing in the house. We keep chew toys available, and he has not destroyed a single item in our house, not a single one. Impressive for a young pup. He's crated when we are gone and tolerates that very well (treats!). Spends the night crated in our bedroom without any problems, too. Able to go eight hours or more without accidents. He just lies and sleeps. Occasionally chews on quiet toys in there. Outside, he's more energetic. He doesn't like to entertain himself outside, though. He wants us out there. If we are out there, he runs and plays. If we go back inside, he lies down on the dog bed by the door. And stays there until we come back out. Just so much prefers to have his people with him.
Are you still interested in Magnus? Please let me know.
I believe Magnus has great potential, but he needs so much work. Sigh.
So the other plush i ordered came, and they are quite different. The sitting one is one that came from China (bootleg possibly? Came months ago though, so probably.) The standing one has more detail, softer fabric, but i like the ears on the sitting one better. Should have given something for scale, but the squares are about 24 inches a side, if that means anything.
Interesting note, the standing one is almost exactly the same as the pattern that came in the latest issue of COSmode.

South Floridians who thought the Dolphins-Patriots game was played in rather chilly 55-degree temperatures are given a free pass to chuckle at this one.
The Buffalo Bills — you know, the host team to the Dolphins next Sunday — put out a call for the public to pitch in at their stadium Tuesday by shoveling snow.
This, of course, is in response to Sunday's wild 13-7 victory over Indianapolis played in a driving snowstorm. Eight inches fell during the game, when 20 snow blowers were used to prevent the yard markers from turning to fiction. Fifteen Bills out to prove they're real men played without long sleeves.
Getting back to the shoveling bit, the Bills were kind enough to say that those who work at least a half-day will be rewarded with game tickets so they can sit in more frigid weather this Sunday.
We'll assume those tickets are handed over with a reminder to dress appropriately.

To Build a Great Network, You Don't Have to be a Great Networker
By Adam Grant
In Leadership
In 2005, when I was in grad school at Michigan, one of my classmates sent a cold email to Malcolm Gladwell. He was coming to Ann Arbor for his Blink book tour—would he be willing to meet up with a group of students and faculty?
Gladwell kindly agreed to join us for dinner. We had a fascinating discussion about fighting racial and gender biases, and about the underestimated role of luck and opportunity in success.
Not long afterward, when I boarded a flight to San Francisco for a conference, I saw that unmistakable mop of curly hair poking up over a seat. I didn't say a word—I didn't want to bother him. And that was the end of our relationship.
Until eight years later, when I opened the New York Times and saw an interview with Gladwell naming me as one of his favorite social science writers. He had read one of my research articles and ended up quoting it in his new book. Before I would've been just another reader clamoring for his attention. Now I was a psychologist who had something to say that intrigued him. And that was the beginning of a friendship.
Networks are critical to success, but you don't have to be a savvy schmoozer to build them. In a New York Times op-ed this weekend, I argue that many people view networking as the path to accomplishment, forgetting that accomplishments make it easier to network.
One of Mark Zuckerberg's most pivotal early connections was Sean Parker, who opened the door to Facebook's first investments. But Zuckerberg didn't reach out to Parker; he got a cold email from Parker, who had seen thefacebook.com on his roommate's girlfriend's computer. Zuckerberg started building his own social network indirectly by building a website for social networking.
When you create something exciting, you don't have to rely on charisma or name-drop mutual acquaintances to get your foot in the door. The door opens to you. Sponsors, mentors, investors, and collaborators gravitate toward people who demonstrate potential, and a portfolio is a stronger signal than a promise. Look at the evidence: if you're an inventor, each patent increases the probability of a new collaboration by 44%. If you're an entrepreneur, releasing more products than peer companies nearly triples the odds of getting initial funding from a high-status investor. Unless they've worked with you in the past or know you really well, investors expect proofpoints of progress—like users trying your product and coming back for more, or customers paying actual money for your product.
It holds in any kind of job, for bankers and healthcare workers and engineers and scientists. If you're a star performer or an expert, people are more likely to notice you and talk about your work, and they're more likely to help you. It's a chance to build a relationship with you, to prove their skills and earn your respect. You'll rack up more requests to collaborate, more invitations to dinners and conferences where interesting things are happening.
It's been true for ages. Remember Paul Revere's famous midnight ride to warn revolutionaries that the British were coming? It was effective because Revere knew the right doors to knock on. But how did he build that network? By becoming a master goldsmith—he started his apprenticeship at thirteen, and influential people came to him for silverware and engravings.
It's possible to develop a network by becoming the kind of person who never eats alone, who wins friends and influences people. But introverts rejoice: there's another way. You can become the kind of person who invests time in doing excellent work and sharing your knowledge with others.
It's a lesson I keep learning in my career. When I wrote my first book, Gladwell was one of the people who helped draw attention to my ideas. Another was Ashton Kutcher. Although we met in a group meet-and-greet when he came to give a talk at Wharton, we didn't make a personal connection; he didn't know me from Adam then. But the following year, he read my book after it was gifted to him by someone he trusted. He was generous enough to recommend it—and my next one—to his fans.
If you're spending more time networking than working, you've got it backwards. Produce some worthwhile work first, and you'll be in a better position to build your network.

COI's new breed
January 14, 2009 by Matt Cartmell
The recession clearly has not hit the Central Office of Information yet, with more agencies than ever on the roster. Matt Cartmell profiles some of the newcomers...
Knight: Founder and creative director of Mission 21
If the Central Office of Information (COI)'s latest framework is anything to go by, the Government is not planning to cut PR in 2009. With 89 agencies on the new roster compared with just 29 on the initial 2004 framework, there are enough new faces to confuse even the most knowledgeable of public sector PR professionals.
The COI oversees the outsourcing of more than 100 PR campaigns a year on behalf of government departments, and the framework is the COI's way of managing this onerous task.
The reason for the expansion is the 2006 Public Contract Regulations that insist all suppliers are invited to compete for each piece of business. The new framework has been divided into lots to meet these requirements.
But with such a huge list, there are some agencies included that are relative unknowns in the public sector.
Here is PRWeek's guide to some of the new faces…
Company Iris PR
Head office London
Who's in charge? Bill McIntyre and Nick Porter (right), joint managing directors
A small agency capable of running high-profile and diverse consumer campaigns, Iris PR provides news generation, launches and stunts, experiential PR, digital and sponsorship exploitation, along with the usual media relations and press office, promotions and competitions.
Notable clients include Home Retail Group (owner of Argos), DBA (makers of Wonderbra), Finlandia Vodka and the
Movember charity.
Iris PR has grown up within a marcoms group so can offer an integrated approach through its sister agencies in digital, experiential, sponsorship, direct and above-the-line disciplines.
Company Livity
Who's in charge? Sam Conniff and Michelle Clothier, co-founders
Livity calls itself a 'youth communications agency with a conscience', specialising in responsible youth-focused campaigns and content. It has a track record of engaging with young people on key issues. Clients include Teenage Cancer Trust, BBC, Lambeth Youth Service, NSPCC, National Blood Service, ChildLine, Penguin Books and the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
Livity Group also includes LIVE Futures, which publishes London's most widely read youth-run publication, LIVE magazine, run by young people. There is also the Livity Trust, a charitable trust with the purpose of supporting young people in getting into work or education.
Company ManBitesDog
Head office Brighton
Who's in charge? Claire Mason, managing director
ManBitesDog focuses on business-to-business and government-to-business PR, delivering thought-leadership campaigns targeting everything from micro-businesses to major corporates.
Typical audiences range from entrepreneurs to CEOs, CFOs and HR directors of FTSE 100 companies across a range of industry sectors.
ManBitesDog is also known for robust research and white papers aimed at engaging entrepreneurs and board-level decision makers.
Notable clients include WEConnect, a government-backed initiative to connect female entrepreneurs with corporate contract opportunities, plus non-public sector clients BT and Adobe.
The agency has delivered a number of campaigns to promote high-growth entrepreneurship and female entrepreneurship.
'We also have very strong experience in promoting clients in sectors including business advisory, leadership, learning and skills,' says Mason.
Company Mission 21
Who's in charge? Richard Knight, founder and creative director
The 24-strong agency, which specialises in bringing science and engineering to the masses, works for clients such as the Science Museum, London, the agency's founding client. Other clients include the Bloodhound SSC land speed record and English Heritage.
'We specialise in inspiring young people to get into science and engineering,' says Knight.
'We like to do unlikely work for serious organisations to reach a wide audience.'
The agency specialises in creating integrated programmes combining content creation, media relations, online marketing, film and event production.
The eight-year-old agency includes marketing, PR and promotions experts, film directors, TV news editors, authors, publishers, journalists, magazine editors and teachers.
Company Open Road
Who's in charge? Graham McMillan, chief executive
Founded in 2007, Open Road provides strategic comms, crisis management and media relations and internal comms, along with the public affairs work for which it is more commonly known.
Open Road is in the environment 'lot' of the COI roster, which the agency puts down to its specialism in stakeholder relations, providing focused campaigns to local communities, media and local government.
Notable clients include Royal Mail, Orange, BAE Systems, BPI and HSBC.
McMillan is a former head of public affairs at Fishburn Hedges, which was awarded Best UK Con-sultancy at the Public Affairs News Awards 2005 under his tenure.
Company Pegasus PR
Head office Worthing, West Sussex
Who's in charge? Lisa Bradley, managing director
This agency covers healthcare with a consumer focus, and notable clients include Thornton & Ross, Sanofi Aventis and Holland & Barrett. Pegasus calls itself a comms agency that focuses on what 'inspires consumers to make healthy decisions'. Pegasus offers a mix of consumer media relations, key opinion leader campaigns, social media programmes and creative campaigns.

The 15th & 16th; Tingling with joy. — In one of the stars I shall be living.
The 15th of May. Tonight has been the most fun. I have come back on a clue.
This morning we packed up everything in the house and drove straight to Axminster. We bought a couple of sandwiches from Tesco for the train journey, then killed 45 minutes in the River Cottage Canteen before Mommy and I needed to get the train to Waterloo. Our assistance man bore a strong resemblance to Nick Hewer and he had to move loads of pushchairs and suitcases to get me on the train, so I stared at a wall of luggage for three hours.
Upon arrival, we went to Alchemy for a quick coffee before getting a cab all the way to our hotel near The O2. It was so far! We asked the driver how much time we should leave to get to The O2 and he said 45 minutes, so we basically checked in, dumped our bags and went out again! We were early, but I'd rather that than be stressing about lateness. I'd just picked up our guestlist tickets and wristbands when Christine and Kim arrived, at which point we went straight to Byron. I essentially inhaled my smoked cheddar cheeseburger and Oreo cookieshake, then we went to our seats.
We had a pretty great view and there isn't a great deal to say about the show itself apart from that it was ace and you should watch it when it's on TV. The men in front of us kept leaving and coming back, as did much of the audience it seemed, all throughout the show! It was so bizarre.
Afterwards, I spoke to Aisling, and we had to go practically all round The O2 in search of the green room. By the time we arrived, Christine and Kim had to go to the tube, but I was left in capable hands. I then got to spend the evening hanging out with most of my favourite comedians and their friends! Aisling Bea, Sara Pascoe, Katherine Ryan (plus her daughter who is adorable and enjoyed my and her mum's names both sounding the same), Rob Beckett, Romesh Ranganathan, Jack Dee, Jason Byrne, Josh Widdicombe, Seann Walsh and Becky Humphries, plus the people whose names I didn't hear but pretended to. They are all such gorgeous people and I feel like I am their actual friend which I ridiculous but never mind. Writing down what actually happened sounds so mundane (e.g. Josh talking me through signing up to Uber) so just imagine I had a wonderful, magical night which culminated in wangling a free Addison Lee car back to my hotel with an absolute delight of a driver.
Officially one of the best weekends ever. Slept in a little, and just had a croissant at the hotel before going to Timberyard for proper breakfast of a crodough! A chocolate crodough and a flat white, and I also got an Oreo cheesecake one which is purely for research purposes, you understand (ETA: the chocolate one was way better). When we came out, we happened upon Dawn O'Porter's BOB by DOP shop and I absolutely adore her clothes particularly the skirts. We went in and there she was! I tried on the geese one that she was also wearing and we had a photo in our matching skirts and Tatty Devine name necklaces before I tried on the dogs one too. I couldn't decide so I bought both.
We spent the remainder of our time looking around the forensics exhibition at The Wellcome Collection where we also had lunch (apple, celery and kale juice and a toasted Brie, bacon, onion marmalade, Dijon mayo and rocket sandwich). Grabbed another coffee from TAP then headed to Euston and almost immediately were on the train, and now here I am, home.
Exquisitely happy and so in awe of how simply astonishing and sweet people can be.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean ported to Transformer Pad, NOOK Tablet, HD2
7 Comments on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean ported to Transformer Pad, NOOK Tablet, HD2
It's been less than a week since Google released the source code for Android 4.1 Jelly Bean — and independent developers have been hard at work, bringing Google's latest software to existing devices including the Acer Iconia Tab A500 and Amazon Kindle Fire.
Now there are early builds of Jelly Bean for a few more devices, including one phone that's been around since 2009.
HTC HD2: This phone was originally designed to run Windows Phone software, but it's been hacked to run nearly every version of Android, plus a few other operating systems including MeeGo and Ubuntu. The initial build of Android 4.1 is still a work in progress. The camera doesn't work, nor does video playback. But it's still pretty impressive to see.
Asus Transformer Pad TF300T: This tablet features a 10.1 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display, an NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor, and 1GB of RAM. It's the cheaper alternative to the Transformer Prime, but it's still a pretty great tablet in its own right. While hardware-accelerated video playback and camera features aren't working yet, and audio is funky, Android 4.1 for the tablet already supports WiFi, Bluetooth, and more.
Barnes & Noble NOOK Tablet: The latest Barnes & Noble tablet features similar hardware to the Kindle Fire, so it's not surprising to see Android running on this tablet so soon after it was ported to Amazon's hardware. But not everything works yet. Audio doesn't work yet, nor does hardware video acceleration.
Acer Iconia Tab A100: Acer's 7 inch tablet gets its first taste of Jelly Bean. At this point most things work, but sound is a little iffy and the camera and gallery apps are broken.
All three projects are in their early phases, with some features not yet supported. But it's only been a week since Google released the Jelly Bean source code. I suspect we'll see some of the kinks worked out in the coming weeks — as well as Jelly Bean ports for even more phones and tablets.
It's likely that we'll also see official updates for some of these devices. I wouldn't be surprised to see Asus release its own build of Android 4.1 for the TF300T, for instance — but it could take months for that software to arrive. And we'll probably never see official updates for devices like the Kindle Fire, NOOK Tablet, ot HTC HD2 which were never really intended to run this kind of software.

i think Google must put a mandatory license of ANDROID to every device MUST HAVE PUBLIC DRIVERS, upgrades would be almost automatic, and vendors will save a lot of money making upgrades.
Also the 5% more or less of hackers WILL BE ABLE TO CHOOSE device and OS they want to install at their devices.

Portland punk bashers the Thermals released their last album, Now We Can See, in April, but they've already revealed the release date for their next full-length-- which they haven't even started recording yet. Next month, the trio will head into Portland's Jackpot Studios with Death Cab for Cutie's Chris Walla producing. And yet Kill Rock Stars claims that the band's as-yet-untitled fifth album will drop on September 7 of next year. Moxie!
This fifth album will be the first Thermals joint to feature new drummer Westin Glass. It won't be their first time working with Walla; he mixed their first album and produced their second.
And if the prospect of recording an album with an already-announced release date wasn't enough, the Thermals will also play a few dates around the Pacific Northwest next month. We've got those dates below.

Alex Muñoz Wilson, Executive Director of Oceana in Chile, discusses the encouraging meetings he and National Geographic Fellow Enric Sala have had with Rapa Nui officials at the outset of the expedition, as well as the extraordinary work they're doing with the Chilean Navy.
Yesterday we met with local authorities, including the governor of the province, Carmen Cardinal, and the mayor of Hanga Roa, Luz Sasso Paoa. Our intention was greet them formally, explain in detail why we were visiting Easter Island, and then review our work plans for Salas y Gómez. We also hoped to to learn more from them about the relationship the Rapa Nui have with the ocean.
We were pleased that both the mayor and the governor wanted to protect the Rapa Nui marine ecosystem and local fisheries. They know the area well but told us they want better scientific knowledge of what lies around the island. They were enthusiastic about our visit and the studies we'll conduct; I think we couldn't have had a better start to our expedition.
The local authorities expressed concern about the decline of marine resources at Rapa Nui. They grew up on the island, and told us that when they were young, fish were abundant. Now they're worried that there's a visible and significant decline in the fish that can be found.
They told us that they favored adopting measures and taking action to reverse the situation and leaving a better future for their children. They don't want the declining trend to continue, and they'd like to see drastic change in the way the fisheries have been managed thus far.
Clearly they were pleased that the waters around Salas y Gómez are protected as a marine park. We hope the Rapa Nui people stay very involved in this project – their traditions and authority here are key to understanding the situation.
We gained yet more insight when we met with Uri Pate, a Rapa Nui community leader, traditional dancer and an employee in the Chilean Navy's Easter Island office. He told us that he's very excited about going to Salas y Gómez because for him, stepping on the island would be not only special, he said, but also a spiritual moment for him, an act of `purification`.
We are so fortunate that the the Chilean Navy helped with the complicated logistics of this expedition as well as giving us use of one of their most modern boats–one designed to have minimal impact on the marine environments below, and thus not to damage either island's precious ecosystems.

Georges Island is one of the islands in the Boston Harbor, situated just over 7 miles (11 km) from downtown Boston. The island has a permanent size of 39 acres (160,000 m2), plus an intertidal zone of a further 14 acres (57,000 m2), and rises to a height of 50 feet (15 m) above sea level. Historic Fort Warren is on the island. Because of this, and since a ferry operates from Boston to the island, it is a popular destination and one of the easiest islands to access in the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area.
