Older couples tend to make financial decisions together, while younger generations are more likely to make decisions on their own, finds an E*TRADE Financial study.
Three out of four millennials are comfortable with their partner making an investment without their input and 53 percent make decisions without discussing with their partner. On the other hand, when it comes to Baby Boomers, 58 percent are uncomfortable giving investing discretion to their partner. They're also the generation that is most likely of all age groups to actually make decisions together.
According to E*TRADE Financial investment strategists, couples who work together and make investment decisions as a team produce long-term benefits and pay serious dividends down the road.


In its new digs in the center of Myrtle Beach, Street Reach Ministries carries out the overwhelming task of providing food, clothes and shelter to the estimated thousands of homeless in our area. During a recent visit, inside the building at the corner of 10th Avenue North and Osceola Street, a smiling receptionist fields calls while an older gentleman in tattered flannel and faded jeans sits waiting next to a rack of pamphlets dealing with alcohol and drug recovery, overcoming adversity and spirituality ("I Am Father God's Happy Thought'').
Down a hallway, a woman can be heard telling a story - her story, spanning a life of heartache and abuse, of redemption and a new beginning. Down another hallway, an alcove with a TV area and scattered seating sits empty for now. It is mid afternoon and other than the meetings taking place, the shelter sits empty. As the evening progresses, the shelter will fill to capacity.
Lining the hallways are pictures of men and women, animals and children. Some in makeshift camps, tarps stretched out over the branches of trees, cardboard boxes subbing for walls. Some are pictured in parking lots, on street corners, in abandoned buildings. While some of the subjects avert their gaze from the prying eyes of the camera, others stare defiantly at the lens, looking out from their world with a gaze that challenges the onlooker to not look away.
"Looking at Myrtle Beach Through The Eyes of the Homeless'' is a collaborative project of Street Reach Ministries and the American Advertising Federation - Coastal Carolinas chapter, a non-profit organization of local professionals from the fields of advertising, marketing and public relations. Through the support of Sabree Hill Photography and 803 Labs Inc., a process called Photovoice, in which a particular group is given cameras in order to photograph their experiences, was used to capture a way of life that is often ignored or misunderstood. Since 1999, Photovoice has been used for research, education, and as an agent for social change and the development of public policy in countries throughout the world - Afghanistan, Nepal, the Congo, Cambodia, and among refugee groups, street children, HIV/AIDS sufferers. Pioneered by Professor Carolyn Wang from the University of Michigan School of Public Heath and Mary Ann Burris of the Ford Foundation, the idea behind the method is to give the subjects their own voice, and their own way of defining their experience to the onlooker. Through the exhibit at Street Reach, the images caught on camera and the stories behind them seek to dispel stereotypes and myths the public holds about homeless people, as well as draw attention to an increasingly growing problem. The images you see on the cover of this edition of Surge, this page and the following pages are culled from this project and are being presented here with the blessings of AAF-Coastal Carolinas, Sabree Hill Photography and 803 Labs Inc.
The project began last fall, when disposable cameras were passed out to homeless individuals at both the Street Reach shelter and at the Community Assistance Center. Bobby Altman, a photographer with 803 Labs, which did all of the developing of the pictures, says, "The cameras we passed out came back in very sporadically. Out of the 50 we distributed, we ended up getting 10 back." In addition to the pictures from the disposable cameras, Altman and local photographer Sabree Hill set out to capture their own images. "It was pretty difficult getting people to agree to participate. We had been told that many people were in hiding, involved in disputes," says Altman.
Many street people live in makeshift camps set up in the woods. Altman visited several off U.S.
501, near Third Avenue South. "We went to three different locations in that area, and found camps with anywhere from four to eight people living there," says Altman. "I only saw adults, but I was told there were children living there as well."
Hill is an award-winning photojournalist whose work has taken her across the world, capturing images of struggle and survival throughout this country and in such far off places as Romania, Somalia and the United Arab Emirates. As part of this assignment, Hill's quest for photos took her to abandoned buildings, vacant parking garages and makeshift camps throughout the downtown Myrtle Beach area. "The people who are homeless in this area present themselves pretty well - you wouldn't necessarily know they were homeless," says Hill. "In spite of their circumstances, they manage to keep up with themselves and their appearance, blending into the general population." The abundance of motels in the area provides an occasional respite from life on the street. Says Hill, "Many of the people I met were back and forth - one day staying in a motel, the next day back in the woods."
While drugs and alcohol may have played a part in the past, many homeless are trying to break the cycle of addiction, but the odds are against them. "There is a stigma that they all have drug and alcohol problems, but many people I met were in recovery, and actually banned drugs and alcohol in their camps," Hill says, adding, "there are a lot of other reasons a person ends up homeless."
The current economy with low wages and job losses, the unstable housing market, lack of healthcare or insurance - all are contributing factors in the skyrocketing homeless rates. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness's report issued Tuesday, "we anticipate 1.5 million additional homeless people from 2009 to 2010 if nothing is done to both prevent homelessness and re-house those already affected by foreclosure, job loss, etc."
The City of Myrtle Beach conducts a count of the homeless every two years, with the last count in 2007 tallying more than 1,400 people along the Grand Strand without a permanent residence.
the places where homeless people encamp does not mean you are eliminating the problem. "You have to address the issue. You can't just expect it to go away, says Hill. "People see the hotels, the resorts, and have know idea what's going on. Now when I drive through Myrtle Beach, I see it differently."

Xuefei Yang in Geelong in October!
Time to get excited Australian guitarists! Chinese guitarist extraordinaire Xuefei Yang is headed to our southern shores in late September and early October for her Australian debut tour. Very exciting!
She'll be kicking things off on 28th September at the Sydney Opera House with a solo recital before headed down to Melbourne for a star turn with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra on 2nd and 3rd October at the revamped Hamer Hall. Xuefei and the MSO will also be heading to the West Gippsland Arts Centre, Warragul (4th October) and Frankston Arts Centre (6th October).
Xuefei will be making her Australian debut playing what is probably everyone's favourite classical guitar concerto (it's certainly a favourite of mine) – Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez. She, along with the MSO, will also be playing the Australian premiere of the new classical guitar concerto by Chinese composer Tan Dun, composer of the music to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
And for those of us in Victoria we're going to be in for an extra special treat. Following her appearances at the Sydney Opera House and with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at the Hamer Hall, Xuefei will be headed to Geelong to present a solo concert of works by Albeniz, Bach, Williams, de Falla, Rodrigo and Brouwer as well as traditional Chinese music.
The concert will be held on Tuesday 7th October at 8pm in Sacred Heart College's exquisite chapel. A great reason to take the trip down to Geelong if ever there was!!
For a bit of a taste of what will be in store, here's Xuefei playing the Adagio of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez with the Barcelona Symphony. Enjoy!
I am not really fond of the classical guitar sound amplification – and it is probably not avoidable in venues like Hamer Hall. But the Geelong recital is a great opportunity. Thanks for your mail.

Cairo 2050: The Case of Nazlet El Semman
A rendering image showing the vision of Cairo 2050 near in Nazlet El-Semman
As part of Cairo Vision 2050, which was announced by the Egyptian government in 2008 with the aim of developing Cairo into a 'global city', ambitious plans are set for the development of the Pyramids' Plateau and its surroundings in Western Giza, Greater Cairo Region (GCR). To achieve the plans, at least 50,000 people from the nearby Nazlet El-Semman neighborhood, who work in the tourism sector and depend
greatly on their location, will have to be relocated to other parts of the city. The government officials' argument is that such plans would bring economic revenues for the country as a whole.
The Giza Plateau
The Pyramids of Giza lie on the Pyramids' Plateau (also known as Giza Plateau) which is considered one of the world's most distinctive historical sites and is a registered UNESCO World Heritage Site. What many people do not know, though, is that at the foot of this plateau lies the neighborhood of Nazlet El-Semman, a community that has been living there for generations
and who greatly depend on the nearby historical site for their income, are facing displacement.
Historical settlements existing in the area. For instance, at the time of the construction of the pyramids, the Town of the Pyramid Builders Labors' Village) was constructed at the foot of the plateau to house the construction workers. These houses were no longer necessary by the time the construction was completed and had been abandoned. In addition to this town, a cemetery and the Valley Temple of Khufu existed in the area.
The striking typography between the Pyramids' Plateau (also known as Giza Plateau) and the Nile Valley has always acted as a border between the ever-expanding bustling city and the ancient heritage, between the past and the present, as well as between the fertile land (life) and the necropolis (the dead). The area surrounding the Pyramids' Plateau remained largely uninhabited until the first half of the twentieth century after witnessing some major changes that has quickened the rate of habitation. Such factors include the enhanced connectivity between Cairo and the Plateau with the construction of Al-Haram Street in 1869 as well as controlling the flooding of the Nile River with the construction of the High Dam (completed in 1970).
Nazlet El-Semman
The neighborhood of Nazlet El-Semman has an area of 252 Feddan (106 Hectares or 1.06 sq. km) with 48,300 residents (2006 Census). It is a low income area whose inhabitants work mainly in the tourism sector, offering services such as horse and camel riding to tourists on the Pyramids' Plateau. Around 85% of the neighborhood consists of residential buildings, whereas 8% are bazaars, selling Egyptian souvenirs which are run by the locals and clustered around Abu-Alhoul touristic axis. Services make up 7% of the land use. There are sixty stables, with 3500 residents working the horse riding and camel riding business. (General Organization of Physical Planning 2011) In addition to bazaars and stables, local shops and services can be found. The settlement is built on agricultural lands which is prohibited by Egyptian law, due to scarcity of fertile land in the Nile Valley. According to a prior study executed by UNESCO along with the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, there are several archeological sites buried underneath the neighborhood. The study claims that northern section of Nazlet al-Semman, called Sen al- Agouz, has been built on the archeological sites of Valley Temple of Khufu and the Town of the Pyramid Builders. The UNESCO study calls for relocation of the residents to allow for excavation of the site.
Cairo 2050
Cairo Vision 2050 was introduced by the Egyptian government in 2008 as a collaboration between the Cabinet's Information and Decision Support Center (IDSC) and General Organization for Physical Planning (GOPP) (El-Sebai 2009). It was approved by Egypt's Prime Minister in 2010 but was disregarded after the 2011 uprisings only to be revisited a year later (TADAMUN 2014). According to the documents, which remain very conceptual with provocative renderings and lack of detailed description, the main aim of the vision is making Cairo a regional and global political influencer as well as a cultural and touristic center. To achieve such targets, the plan proposes highly ambitious and provocative images of a futuristic Cairo, only not quite ultramodern, but rather the opposite. The images mainly show green carpets of parks rolled down with the insertion of shiny glass towers on current dense informal settlements. This image which has been inspired by other city visions such as Paris 2020, Sydney 2030, Abu Dhabi 2030 and Tokyo 2050, replicates modern models which can be seen throughout the various images of the vision in different areas of the capital such as the Maspero Triangle along the Nile waterfront, the relocation of historic cemeteries in Old Cairo and turning the necropolis into, of course, a massive park (Tarbush 2012). Another example is the Khufu Avenue and
parks which is a 10 km long, 600 meter wide grand avenue that links Sphinx square in Mohandessin to the Pyramids' Plateau. The proposed avenue passes through dense informal areas with thousands of residents must be relocated. There are many problems with this highly ambitious vision. The process of modernization is still seen in terms of a western model that can be applied universally. However, such extravagant plan should take in consideration Egypt's economic situation even pre-2011 uprisings and the associated political and economical turmoil when the plan was announced.
Nazlet El-Semman under Cairo 2050
The Pyramids' Plateau Area and the surrounding sites is, naturally, of high interest to the Cairo 2050 vision. The major projects proposed are the Grand Egyptian Museum Hotels (GEM Hotels) north to Nazlet-El Semman, GEM Plaza and parks, Khufu Plaza which is where grand Khufu Avenue meets the Pyramids' Plateau, the Boulevard which connects the different parts of the project, and lastly the Esplanade, a pedestrian
path connecting the Museum to the Plateau. The area is to be connected to central Cairo though the proposed 4th metro line, and the grand Khufu Avenue (General Organization of Physical Planning 2011).
The strategy towards the area of Nazlet El-Semman, which according to the vision document is "an illegal informal settlement which is unplanned" is to develop by "regulating properties and enabling security of tenure within these areas based on detailed development plan" Hefnawi 2010). As part of Cairo 2050, plans for Nazlet El-Semman are similarly highly ambitious envisioning the neighborhood as monofunctional area serving mainly the tourists and the interests of the investors" (ETH Studio Basel 2010). The future vision is to turn the neighborhood into an open museum together with the Pyramids' Plateau to the west and the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) to the north, which is scheduled to be partially opened in 2018, to create an integrated touristic site. The aim to deal with the existing land uses and categorize the area into three zones. The first zone is that can be directly utilized for tourism and entertainment. The second zones is one which is readily qualified for hotel investment and residential. And last are the zones that can be turned into hotels and touristic zones in
the long term strategic plan. But the residents seem outside of the development plans. The Khufu Avenue and Plaza will require parts
of the area to be demolished where a string of new hotels and resorts overlooking the ancient site are to be developed.
The plan highlights "providing alternative housing units for inhabitants within same area or nearby or direct compensation based on consultation . . . [and] no eviction for affected groups before providing alternatives." (Hefnawi 2010) However, seeing the context of the plan which was announced in 2008, Egypt was being administered by a government of businessmen and thus developmental interests were
prioritized.
Also, the history of the government's strategies to evict the residents of Nazlet El-Semman and other informal areas, one becomes wary of such claims of guaranteed tenure security. Instead of directly expelling the residents, the government instead took steps that would eventually drive the residents to abandon their homes. A law has been passed prohibiting residents who live in the most archaeologically valuable
sites not only from building new homes but from renovating their existing houses. Once the buildings collapse or become unsafe to be inhabited, the residents will be forced to abandon them. In fact, several houses along the wall dividing the Pyramids' plateau (a protected UNESCO site) and the residential area have collapsed and been abandoned by their residents. Thus, area has been declared as 'unsafe' by the
This strategy has been implemented by the Egyptian government in other areas of high economic interest as well. The most famous example would be the Maspero Triangle (Bulaq Abu Al Aela) that enjoys a prime location on the Nile which makes it an interest to developers. Although the Ministry for Housing claims that it plans to relocate the residents in the 'same area', some would be relocated as far as two kilometers away. The planners' response is to provide some benefits through UNESCO, and provide alternative bazaars in the same touristic zone for the residents to keep working in them (General Organization of Physical Planning 2011).
Memory of Displacement
The government's policies towards informal settlements have been guided by believing that informal areas, such as Nazlet El-Semman, are a problem that must be removed and that urban growth must be directed towards new settlements in the desert.
Such strategy has not been successful in the past. One example would be the relocation of residents of the informal settlement of Duweiqa in 2008 after a rockslide killed up to two hundred residents which resulted in a number of houses were marked unsafe by the government. The residents were relocated 40 kilometers away to Masaken Othman in the desert city of 6th of October. In the process, the residents
discovered that there were accompanying social and economic costs and as a result, some decided to return. This meant high transportation costs, which were previously cut down with the proximity of many informal settlements to the center of Cairo. In addition, relocated residents had to pay a reasonable amount of rent for their newer and smaller housing in contrast to their bigger homes which they had owned.
Moreover, the public housing has poor services such as unreliable source of water. Furthermore, unlike informal settlements, which provide the flexibility of unregulated zoning, new towns are designed with strict regulations segregating functions. This restricts residents from running informal businesses, including accommodating livestock, which many residents depend on for additional income, in the mostly residential
zoning. Such informal business sector makes up to forty percent of the job market in Egypt. Although around 210,000 units of public housing were built from 1982 to 2005, there is no surprise that occupation rates remain only around 50% (Sims 2010).
In addition to the costs mentioned above, the relocation process fails to take into account the hidden non-material costs such as loss or weakening of the social structure of informal settlements. Residents, for example, highly depend on their social connections for collective savings associations and money borrowing in case of emergencies. The other scenario would be to upgrade and develop current urban condition into high-end development with the remaining of the local residents in area. In this scenario, however, high social tension between
the original, low-income residents and richer and upper-middle class new comers would rise.
Community Participation, a solution?
Community participation involves all beneficiaries, including local residents, into the development process. In such engagement, citizens are given control over important "strategic choices, and the allocation of resources" to develop their own communities (Piffero 2009). An invitation-only meeting was conducted by GOPP and the Environment and Development Group (EDG) to assess the effects of the development plan on area. Representatives of several agencies such as UN-Habitat and concerned government sectors were present
but no local residents except some of the neighborhood's influential families. According to TADAMUN, the meeting has failed to fulfill local engagement as those invited for the meeting represented a minority of the population. Moreover, the meeting lacked clarity in terms of its influence on the future plans. For instance, the Minister of Housing announced the formation of a committee to present the project plan
to the Cabinet which is distinct from GOPP and EDG's meeting. In this sense, we can understand that such meetings are a mere "participatory façade" to legitimize the plans. Therefore legally binding mechanisms should be set for locals to guarantee their right to influence the future
development of their own neighborhoods.
Conclusion: The People or the Country?
The case of the development of Nazelt El-Semman is one of Cairo's most controversial cases of developing informal settlements. The government is hoping to develop not only an urgently needed source of income to save the crumbling economy, but a powerful
image of a new 'modern' Egypt which is falsely presented in Cairo 2050, lacking the understanding of the economic and social conditions under which this plan is to take place. The dilemma here lies in what should be prioritized: the country's economic benefits or residents' tenure
security? Also, how long will the government's solution for informal urban sprawl and unsafe housing be to simply erase them off our cities? And would that actually stop future urban sprawl from encroaching other areas of the city? I believe that it is important to consider the local residents of Nazlet El-Semman as an asset to any development plan of the Pyramids' Area. A framework of a community participatory process should be developed obligating government to abide by outcomes of such development schemes.

When I pass Sample as a pointer to template:

the compiler says: expected nested-name-specifier before 'T'
From my point of view, the problem can be solved if I pass Sample as pointer to IArrayComparisonRule. How can I do that? Maybe there is another way to solve the problem.

Does the Government Value our Citizens Lives?
by General Jerry Ralph Curry (Ret.)
ClashDaily.com Guest Commentator,
Have you ever wondered how many human lives a movie about Islam or a worn copy of a Koran is worth? If a Muslim in an Afghan prison defaces a Koran by writing in it and then passes the pages on to other Muslim prisoners, everything continues on smoothly and normally. There are neither demonstrations, mob violence, nor deaths.
If an American soldier tears a page out of that same Koran and writes on it, mobs of Muslims pour out into the streets like movie extras from a scene in a Star Wars movie and there is rioting, mayhem, and murder. Perhaps my wife, "Lady Char," summed it up best one day when she asked, "When are the Muslims going to grow up and start acting like adults?"
Perhaps the answer is: after our president and Congress grow up and come to realize that no book or movie has the same value as a human life. Fortunately, our soldiers who are hazarding their lives on the middle-east battlefields aren't as handicapped in their thinking as their leaders back in Washington.
They know that a single American life is more important than all the Korans in the world, even if the Muslims and the American President don't know it. You can buy more Korans and make more movies, but you can't buy more American lives. It's time we quit groveling to these special interest, pseudo-religious groups and stood up for our soldiers, sailors and airmen, for their lives, futures, and welfare.
My experience has been that none of our soldiers should have to serve four or more involuntary tours in a God-forsaken land like Afghanistan. If our Commander-in-Chief and his senior government and military officials were really concerned about the lives of our military, they would insist that no one be deployed to a middle-east combat theater for more than three or so tours.
Obviously we can't implement that kind of a fair and just policy because we don't have enough officers and enlisted men on active duty to feed into the rotation cycle. But if we are going to continue with these inane foreign and military policies, we need to double or triple the number of men on active duty. If that means reinstituting a draft, then so be it. Worst case, it will help alleviate our domestic unemployment problem.
During the Vietnam War, some Viet Cong engaged the South Vietnamese regiment I was advising in a running fire fight. When we finally cornered them and were about to go in for the kill, they fled into a Buddhist pagoda and hid. I turned to my South Vietnamese colonel counterpart, shrugged my shoulders and said, "You know the rules of engagement, we must observe the sanctity of all South Vietnamese religious buildings. If they don't come out voluntarily, we are forbidden to go in and get them."
He nodded his head, called over his operations officer, spoke a few words in Vietnamese, and then announced a lunch break. Later, after lunch and tea, several soldiers came up to him carrying shoulder-fired rocket launchers. Again he nodded and they commenced blowing a huge hole in the wall of the pagoda. Then they threw in hand grenades, killed or captured the Viet Cong who were hiding inside, and we continued on with the mission.
By showing respect for the Buddhist pagoda, we Americans were trying to win the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese people. The Vietnamese colonel was trying to win the battle. Our government needs to decide at which it wants to be victorious in the middle-east and in future wars.
Adopting a hearts-and-minds strategy sometimes makes sense, but it can be just as dangerous and stupid today as it has been sometimes in previous wars. The bottom line should always be that our soldiers are allowed to use whatever force they deem necessary to win a battle and to preserve their own lives and those of their fellow soldiers. And they shouldn't have to get permission from some high ranking officer first.
If they make a legitimate mistake, they should get a slap on the wrist, not a court martial.

I have this knit coat (a Tilted Duster, if you remember that long-ago pattern) that's been finished where the knitting is concerned for about a month now. I sewed up the sleeves and everything.
It needs to be blocked before I can wear it, but it also needs a few buttons sewn on, and I just haven't worked myself up to doing it quite yet.
Knitting patterns usually tell us exactly where and how to place the buttonholes on our projects, but they aren't so great about detailing where to put the buttons.
This post from Ashley Little on the Craftsy blog offers great tips on how to place buttons on a cardigan so that they line up perfectly with the button holes. It's not actually that hard to do and that little extra effort will make your finished garment look that much better.

Frag[Men]ted: Representations of Masculinity in David Foster Wallace's Brief Interviews with Hideous Men and Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club
Ansley, Hamish
Ansley, H. (2017). Frag[Men]ted: Representations of Masculinity in David Foster Wallace's Brief Interviews with Hideous Men and Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club (Thesis, Master of Arts (MA)). University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand. Retrieved from https://hdl.handle.net/10289/11456
Supported by a selection of original creative works, this thesis will undertake a comparative study of the ways in which masculinity is represented in David Foster Wallace's Brief Interviews with Hideous Men and Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club. I will begin with an overview of the field of masculinity studies, outlining the theoretical underpinnings of this thesis and its situation within the wider scholarship. Via close textual analysis, this thesis will examine the machinations by which these texts' characters resist the oppressive forces of hegemonic masculinity and how such resistance frequently reproduces the patterns of hegemonic masculinity and thereby reinforces its dominant position. The way in which both texts make use of fragmented form and style to reflect the fractured experience of those who occupy masculine identities will also be a significant point of discussion. This fractured experience, I will argue, results from dissonant social and cultural expectations and masculinity's relationship with a complex modern world which induces a sense of dissociation, of disconnection in those who inhabit masculine identities. In concluding, I will suggest that both texts advocate the cultivation of bodily and sensory awareness as a means of combatting the dissociative effects of contemporary masculine experience, and of celebrating multiple, disseminated masculinities over hegemonic ideals.

Im Gespräch mit John Hillcoat
How do you create a convincing post apocalyptic world with sound effects and is there anything in general you set value on concerning sound design and film score?
Well, I mean it actually all sprung from the book. We want to have this idea - that is in the book - of the sound of trees collapsing and also the silence of things that we are so used to, like the sound, when you walk outside. But there is no electricity anymore, everything is broken down and there are no birds etc.
So it was getting rid of birds and creating a silence! And the score, the actual music score as well, was more about two elements. One was more generic, highlighting fear and tension, inspired from films like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", so just a kind of very primeval, scary sort of sound. But the other was something that was meant to be more what the father has to carry in his head, which is the loss of things and beauty. That's a much more lyrical, soft, tender side!
In your movie "The Road", it's noticeable that there are few dialogues. What impact does that have on your way of storytelling?
The writer has this great thing of 'less is more', where everything is just stilled down. So the few words, that they have to say, are loaded with significance. The dialogue is actually 90 percent from the book and yet, it's just enough to help to tell that story, I think…I hope! But distillation, you know, stilling it down, so that every word counts.
How do you usually respond to the individual needs of your actors (some actors need more, some less directing) and how did you direct your protagonists in "The Road"?
Well, I think rehearsals are really important! Not to workshop the actual material, but just to get to know people, what the actors needs are - and that's a discovery of getting to know each actor. I know there are general schools of acting, but it seems like there are as many approaches to acting, as there are human personalities. In other words: Every single approach is slightly different! So, some people like to be more method and go up and down into their own sort of internal world. Others want more to ask lots of questions and have constant feedback. And you get to know those needs as you go along very quickly. It's an amazing process, very interesting.
When you are working in the real locations, in real environment, it becomes another character. It's like the actors are always reacting or working of something. That was really the case with Kodi, Viggo and the landscapes, because I noticed that their performances were changing. The more they got caught up in that environment, they were working of it. So it was really another character. It kind of intensified their relationship and that was an amazing thing to see!
What is essential to keep in mind, if you take such a young protagonist like Kodi Smit-McPhee into a scary post apocalyptic world? Was it frightening or just fun for him?
Well, that was my biggest worry out of embarking on anything to do with this! I got the book before it was published. I knew it was a special book, so I knew I'd be under fire for that - how it was going to be adapted. But to me, the overwhelming fear was the boy. The key was to find a boy that was emotionally mature enough to handle all of that. And I started from a place, thinking, I would have to get around it all the time.
A similar approach - I didn't know this until recently – the boy in "The Shining" didn't even know that it was a horror movie. And I have started my approach from the perspective of how to protect the child.
But Kodi's sister is an actress, the father is an actor… He really is an amazing kid, but the most amazing thing about him was his emotional maturity. Before I even auditioned him, his father had read him the whole book and he understood it in a really sophisticated way. He was very grounded and a real kid and we were always encouraged, while we were filming. When there were breaks, we encouraged him to be a kid and Viggo would be teaching him the sort of moves that he learned on "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. There was a lot of humour with the crew, but we all tried to protect Kodi from the material. But at the same time, he just totally understood it and had no problems with it. In fact, it ironically werethe adults that struggled much more with it. He really understood that drama is about conflict - this is a conflict that makes these characters do this etc.
What characterizes the scene for instance with Robert Duvall, was a scene with a dog, that was very old, arthritic and blind in one eye - this was a day before filming the Duvall scene - he came and suddenly realized that's just like this old man that he wouldn't really know how to relate and this guy would be like him relating to another animal or something.
So he was treating him like it was his precious little pet almost, hence the father saying "No, we can't keep him". So he was incredibly ensured and sophisticated, way beyond his years.
And even the Spanish DP master kept whispering that this boy is not of this world. And all the actors, for example Duvall, he just turned me on the first day and said: Where did you get the kid? So we were very fortunate. I was really lucky to get the material, but then, the second great gift was finding Kodi.

Dada Bhagwan Money (German)
Money has its own importance in our life. The world considers money and wealth as one of the most important thing in life. People have more love for money because it is needed in everything they do. That is why there is fight all around the world to get more money, by ethical or unethical means. People have been bothered by the uneven distribution of money and wealth. In this dangerous era of Kaliyug, it is very difficult to remain ethical and honest in matters of money. In the presented book on the world of money as seen by Param Pujya Dadashri the Gnani Purush (the enlightened one), Dadashri has shared his view on money, charity, use of money. According to him, money is the reward of one's merit karmas from one's past life. Wealth comes your way when you give help to others, not otherwise. Wealth comes to those who have the desire to share. Lack of understanding of the science of money has perpetuated greed for money which leads to worldly life after life (avatars). [more][Less]

Remember when you went to a birthday party as a kid and were given those blowout noisemakers and cone-shaped party hats? Fact is, most people never outgrow their love for adorning themselves with party things and playing with "toys." This is especially true when these "adult" party props are dispensed in conjunction with music, dancing, and a celebration.
We can use a wide variety of party props to compliment a specific song, add finesse to a party routine, or spice up the spontaneity on the dance floor.
Simply put, party props are employed to enhance the fun!
"BLOW-UP BAND": Featuring uproarious auditions with pre-recorded solos, Rock and Roll Wigs, and Keepsake Inflatable Guitars, Saxophones, Keyboards, and Microphones, to the music of "Old Time Rock & Roll" by Bob Seger.
18" FOAM PARTY HANDS provide a comical boost whenever they're thrown out to the dancers during a high energy dance segment. They're also sensational when used for "throw your hands up" during "Shout" by the Isley Brothers.
CONGA LINE: Featuring Conga Sleeves for the leader, and Beachcomber Hats and Keepsake Maracas for the partiers, to the music of "Shake Sonora" by the Cherry Poppin' Daddies.
Maracas BLUES BROTHERS SEGMENT: Featuring Blues Brothers Keepsake Sunglasses and Gangster Hats, to the music of "Soul Man" by Sam & Dave.
Elvis, Afro & Punk Wigs Y.M.C.A. SHOW: Featuring 27 piece package(s) of Keepsake Y.M.C.A. Hats and an outragious dance routine with instruction, to the music of "Y.M.C.A." by the Village People.
BUBBLE MACHINE: Bubbles can be used too add a further touch of romance to the Bride and Groom's First Dance, or at any gathering, during a nostalgic slow dance. Sometimes, we simply provide a drift of bubbles over the dance floor, just for fun. The machine is most effective when positioned well above the dancers, mounted on the arm of a light tree or on a lighting truss. The effect of the bubbles is nicely highlighted by shafts of colored light.
CONFETTI CANON: Confetti can be launched during the standing ovation for the bride and groom as they enter the reception hall, or to signal the start of the partying. Creating a visual burst of energy, it also compliments the excitement at the outset of a favorite, high energy dance song. We use "flutterfetti" which we sweep up and dispose of after the celebratory launch.
Disc Jockey Party Props are used to enhance the fun on the dance floor. Purchase them from our Online Party Store, and we'll distribute them to those in attendance in a manner that is creative and fun!

Time Magazine promotes Death Care Agenda
By LUIS MIRANDA | THE REAL AGENDA | JUNE 7, 2012
The new 'pull the plug' care system is now being celebrated by re-known writers and philanthropists as a way to cut down healthcare costs. Not a word about preventive care, though. In an article authored by writer Joe Klein, Time praises the goodness of austere medical care when it comes to keeping the elderly alive, and how doctors together with sons or daughters make the decision about whether a sick, old person should live or not.
The June 11 issue of Time Magazine sells the idea that is should be fine for anyone to decide on someone else's health or death based on the premise that it will help save resources for others who remain alive, or as Bill Gates said, to hire more teachers. In a video interview, Joe Klein explains how the Geisinger medical system helped him during a time when he was not convinced what to do with his sick parents.
The phone call came on a cloudy morning in Iowa. I was interviewing Senator Chuck Grassley in his farm kitchen, surrounded by a sea of corn. Mom was back in the hospital again. She had pneumonia. She wasn't eating. "If we don't put in a feeding tube," my mother's internist told me, "she won't survive on her own."
Mom had always been vehement about how she wanted to go. "Just pull the plug. Let me die," she would say, with more than a hint of melodrama. "I don't want to be a vegetable." But was she a vegetable now? She had…
See Klein's video on Time Magazine's page here. In the video, he sort of blames the traditional medical system for providing services or procedures that he says aren't necessary, and that doctors usually request because most doctors are paid based on the number of services or procedures they ask patients to take. Klein says that the Geisinger model is better than the traditional one because it saves money as it rations care for patients under the doctor's guidance and a son or a daughter's decision not to feed a parent with a tube, but to let him or her die.
One of the biggest cheerleaders of the Geisinger model is US president Barack Obama, whose death panels ran by people who believe that saving a money in the government run healthcare system must come before providing care to an elderly or sick patient. During a September 9, 2009 speech in Congress, Obama spoke about how rationed medicine implemented by the Geisinger system was an example of high quality care at a lower cost. He did not mention, though, that the costs are reduced due to the denial of care, not because the services are somehow cheaper as provided by Geisinger medical centers.
Joe Klein himself admits that the Obama administration wants to change healthcare by moving it in the direction of the Geisinger system. He portrays doctors as bad people because "they do not want to be told what to do," says Klein. He believes that this opposition stems from the fact that doctors income would be greatly reduced and not because doctors actually know better what services and procedures are needed in order to save the life of a patient, elderly or otherwise. "Fee for service medicine is more profitable for them", adds Klein. For Mr. Klein just as for Mr. Obama and his advisers, the extra test or monitoring of a patient is often unnecessary even though those tests are the closest thing to preventive medicine. Meanwhile, the establishment of real preventive care is continuously denied by the corporate-controlled healthcare system that refuses to offer it to patients.
In the case of Klein's father, he says the doctors at Geisinger advised him not to hydrate his dad because even if he did that, he would have to be back in the hospital in a few weeks due to his kidney problems. In his mind, keeping his father properly hydrated to have him around for a longer period of time was not worth the expense that the medical care system would have to endure. According to Klein, the doctors kindly convinced him that it was better to let his dad go. "That level of candor is the kind of thing that most people do not get from fee for service medical doctors," said Mr. Klein. "That's what made the death of my parents tolerable," he concluded.
"For five months, I was my parents' death panel. And where the costly chaos of Medicare failed, a team of salaried doctors and nurses offered a better way," reads one of Joe Klein's revealing comments about his experience. That is what the Obama administration and any other government that advocates for the unsustainable government-controlled socialized medicine model want everyone to have access to. Socialized medicine is not about providing medical care at a lower cost which makes it accessible to most people, but about reducing the costs of medical attention by letting people die when they are no longer profitable. Socialized medicine, for example, does not invest anything more than the current system into preventing disease, which most doctors do not even know how to do. An initiative to fund preventive medicine instead of providing resources to corporate-controlled healthcare systems or government managed Obamacare, would greatly reduce the costs of medical attention without having to choose between keeping a parent alive or hiring a new teacher.
The only thing more successful for big government than establishing death panels composed by bureaucrats who decide whether a person lives or not, is to actually convince people that death panels is the way to go and to turn them into their relatives' own death panels, as Joe Klein confesses he was in the case of his parents. Under the new medical system that is taking root in the United States, quality care is synonymous with rationed care. To say that the current medical care system is bad because doctors issue requests for services and procedures that may or may not be necessary, but that people can trust other medical professional in hospices because for some reason they are more ethical about providing care, is simply preposterous. On the contrary, in a rationed care system, medical professionals are assured to receive a minimum compensation they are comfortable with, which might facilitate their decision not to provide care to patients if they believe it is not necessary or worthwhile and that it would lower the costs of the most likely government-controlled medical system.
A healthcare system that promotes austerity and rationing for patients is not one that will offer the best care for patients, especially for elderly people, but one that will look for every possible reason not to provide much needed medical attention. Its goal is to cut expenses, not to improve the life of the patient. It is naive to believe that doctors under the Geisinger or any other rationed system will have the interests of the patient at heart when they don't have any incentive to do so. In fact, their incentive is mostly to cut costs and deny care while making the choice of death look kind and benevolent.
The way to solve the debacle of the medical care system anywhere is to prohibit the medical industry from writing the laws that govern such system, invest in preventive care and not in the perpetuation of the mass drugging of the population, to actually prepare doctors to treat patients as supposed to put them on pharmaceuticals — which by the way kill more people than they help — for the rest of their lives and to educate people about the the thousands of poisonous ingredients being put in the food and water, so that they can choose not to consume them. A good healthcare system is not mutually exclusive. It is possible to have great care without rationing.

In U.S. Elderly Medicare Patients Get Less Attention
Want an appointment with kidney specialist Adam Weinstein of Easton, Md.? If you're a senior covered by Medicare, the wait is eight weeks.
How about a checkup from geriatric specialist Michael Trahos? Expect to see him every six months: The Alexandria-based doctor has been limiting most of his Medicare patients to twice yearly rather than the quarterly checkups he considers ideal for the elderly. Still, at least he'll see you. Top-ranked primary care doctor Linda Yau is one of three physicians with the District's Foxhall Internists group who recently announced they will no longer be accepting Medicare patients.
"It's not easy. But you realize you either do this or you don't stay in business," she said.
Doctors across the country describe similar decisions, complaining that they've been forced to shift away from Medicare toward higher-paying, privately insured or self-paying patients in response to years of penny-pinching by Congress.
And that's not even taking into account a long-postponed rate-setting method that is on track to slash Medicare's payment rates to doctors by 23 percent Dec. 1. Known as the Sustainable Growth Rate and adopted by Congress in 1997, it was intended to keep Medicare spending on doctors in line with the economy's overall growth rate. But after the SGR formula led to a 4.8 percent cut in doctors' pay rates in 2002, Congress has chosen to put off the ever steeper cuts called for by the formula ever since.
This month, the Senate passed its fourth stopgap fix this year – a one-month postponement that expires Jan. 1. The House is likely to follow suit when it reconvenes next week, and physicians have already been running print ads, passing out fliers to patients and flooding Capitol Hill with phone calls to convince Congress to suspend the 25 percent rate cut that the SGR method will require next year.
Such temporary reprieves have increased the potential pain down the road, compounding not only the eventual cut but the cost of doing away with it for good, now estimated in the tens of billions.
The lobbying blitz by doctors also comes amid concern in Washington that Medicare spending is spiraling up so fast the nation can't afford to boost it further by significantly raising doctors' pay. And government analysts and independent experts suggest that although doctors could not absorb a 25 percent fee cut, the claim that they have been inadequately compensated by Medicare until now is wildly exaggerated.
Among the top points of contention is the complaint by doctors that Medicare's payment rate has not kept pace with the growing cost of running a medical practice. As measured by the government's Medicare Economic Index, those expenses rose 18 percent from 2000 to 2008. During the same period, Medicare's physician fees rose 5 percent.
"Physicians are having to make really gut-wrenching decisions about whether they can afford to see as many Medicare patients," said Cecil Wilson, president of the American Medical Association.
But statistics also suggest many doctors have more than made up for the erosion in the value of their Medicare fees by dramatically increasing the volume of services they provide – performing not just a greater number of tests and procedures, but also more complex versions that allow them to charge Medicare more money.
From 2000 to 2008, the volume of services per Medicare patient rose 42 percent. Some of this was because of the increasing availability of sophisticated treatments that undoubtedly save lives. Some was because of doctors practicing "defensive medicine" – ordering every conceivable test to shield themselves from malpractice lawsuits down the line.
"Then you have doctors who order an MRI for an unremarkable headache or at the first sign of back pain," said Robert Berenson, a Commissioner of the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, an independent congressional agency. "It's pretty well documented that it doesn't help patients to have those scans done in these cases. But if you have the machine in your office … why not?"
Whatever the cause, the explosion in the volume of services provided helps explain why Medicare's total payments to doctors per patient rose 51 percent from 2000 to 2008.
A review of physicians' incomes suggests that specialists – who have more opportunities to increase the volume of the services they offer than primary-care doctors – reaped most of the benefit.
On average, primary-care doctors make about $190,000 a year, kidney specialists $300,000, and radiologists close to $500,000, figures that reflect the income doctors receive from both Medicare and non-Medicare patients. The disparity has prompted concern that Medicare is contributing to a growing shortage of primary doctors.
Still, even if primary-care doctors had to rely exclusively on Medicare's lower payment rates their incomes would only drop about 9 percent, according to a recent study co-authored by Berenson, who is also a fellow at the non-partisan Urban Institute.
"The argument that doctors literally can't afford to feed their kids [if they take Medicare's rates] is absurd," said Berenson. "It's just that doctors have gotten used to a certain income and lifestyle."
Regardless of their motivation, if doctors skew their patient base away from Medicare too drastically seniors' access to medical care could be limited.
Is that happening? Again, opinions vary. Based on its studies as well as those done by others others, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission has concluded the share of affected seniors has been small, and perhaps most significantly, lower than the share of privately insured patients ages 50 to 64 who also report access problems.
But the American Medical Association cites a recent online survey that it commissioned in which nearly one-third of primary-care doctors said they are currently restricting the number of Medicare patients in their practice.
For Michael Trahos, the geriatric specialist in Alexandria, that has meant spacing out routine visits by his Medicare patients such that their share of his weekly appointments has dropped from about half to less than one-third. Trahos said that if a Medicare patient has a serious condition, he will see the person more frequently. But Trahos said it makes him uneasy to push even apparently healthy elderly patients back to twice yearly visits.
"Is it the proper thing to do? Probably not," he said. "These are patients who should be scheduled for proper maintenance every three months."
Adam Weinstein, the kidney specialist in Easton, has taken to supplementing his three-doctor practice by doing medical IT consulting several hours a week. But although the pay is far greater than what he would receive seeing Medicare patients, who make up 70 percent of his practice, the side work means he has less time to serve them. Not only must Weinstein make them wait longer for an appointment, he said, he can no longer afford to answer their phone calls.

I have an older Beretta AL-2 from the 70's that's a pretty nice shotgun and even with the plastic buttpad, absorbs the recoil quite well. I picked it up in a pawn shop for around $400 with no issues other than a small nick in the fore end. My only issue was that the original charging handle was a tiny sliver of sharp steel that you could barely get your pinkie finger on. I was inspired by all the really cool aftermarket accessories that are out there for Benelli shotguns to get a nice, big, knobby handle.
This is my second charging handle since a few years ago, my brother-in-law made one for me out of stainless steel. It works pretty great, but is very heavy and not knurled. A friend has access to a shop at his work and had a week with relatively few projects to work on and counted this as "cross-training time." He drew up an idea on CAD and then made it out of 1.25″ diameter Grade 23 Titanium.
Changing the charging handle originally to the much heavier Stainless Steel didn't impact the gun's cycling, so I wasn't expecting that switching to this lighter one would make much of a difference.
The feel of it is great: the knurling is pronounced enough to get a good grip, but not so deep to be painful or take any skin off. The gun cycles just fine and you really don't need to be careful when trying to pull it back: just grip it rip it!


Cell is the name of at least five artists: 1) Alex Scheffer - Popular tags: ambient, chillout, downtempo, electronic, psychill. 1984 saw Alex entering the world of machines. Aged 10 he received his first machine from his mother and father, respectively pianist and drummer, a Juno 106 Roland. At that time, student at the Conservatoire, he started looking at LFOs and filters. His favourite instruments remain keyboards and especially the piano, an instrument which he will get back to at 13 when entering the Jazz section at the Conservatoire of Chambéry (73). EXTENDED BIO CONTINUED BELOW, AFTER THOSE OF OTHER ARTISTS... 2) Cell - Brian Fabiano - Cell started in 2006 as a challenge to recreate and understand Industrial music. Along the way vocals were written, followed by instrumentals and eventually entire songs. In mid 2009 we were contacted by Matt Russel of Gain Structure studios and produced our first EP "Stop This" which is available on iamcell.com through various online sources. We are currentlly in the studio recording our first full length album, and intend on documenting the process online during the process. 3) Cell was a rock quartet formed in the early 1990's in New York City which featured Dave Motamed (formerly of Das Damen and later of 2 Dollar Guitar) on bass, vocalist/lead guitarist Jerry Dirienzo (later of Ugly Beauty), guitarist/vocalist Ian James (formerly of Flower and later of French), and drummer Keith Nealy. EXTENDED BIO CONTINUED BELOW, AFTER THOSE OF OTHER ARTISTS... 4) The Japanese band Cell is a 2 man group with Hiro on vocals and Taka on guitar. They're heavily influenced by groups such as Zi-kill, 黒夢 and ジュラシック. Their music is available at Muzie, http://www.muzie.co.jp/cgi-bin/artist.cgi?id=a011578 . 5) Alternative Metal / Rapcore band from South Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand. http://www.myspace.com/cellnz 1) Alex Scheffer, continued: His growing interest for machines and electronic music enticed him to listen to artists such as Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Pink Floyd, John Cage, Peter Gabriel… Convinced that a fusion of styles is fundamental, Alex decided at 16 to look into Pop-Electro fusion. He took part in several bands as keyboard player and arranger, his main function being to mingle and mix electronic sounds into Pop-Rock atmospheres. After his Acoustic Engineer studies, Alex definitely made a turn towards electronic music. While collaborating with different directors he got to carry out all types of orders. Original soundtracks for advertising, short films, catwalk and even contemporary dance for which he wrote more than an hour of music. Formerly reviewer for Claviers Magazine, for which he wrote the « Hardware » trials and the « Vintage » column, he currently works as a teacher in a Sound School, training future engineers to different techniques such as sound synthesis, sound design and use of machines. The several remix queries and collaborations with DJs turned Alex Scheffer into a many-faceted composer, able to create as much for dance-floors as for intimate or mental atmospheres… Convinced that an electronic music composer must touch all styles to be complete, he passionately gives himself over to researching new sounds and atmospheres… 3) Cell, early 1990's New York City rock quartet , continued: The band formed in 1991 and was quickly signed to Thurston Moore's label Ecstatic Peace who released their first single. A few months later they signed with Germany's City Slang label to record their first album, Slo-Blo, which led to the band's signing with DGC records in the US. Cell toured the world several times with Sonic Youth, Pavement, Sugar and many others, including a stint on the Lollapalooza second stage in 1993 with Royal Trux. They also had two music videos aired on MTV's 120 Minutes several times. The band broke up after touring for their second album, Living Room, in 1995.

The Davis family and The PARC Group sold about 3,000 of acres of undeveloped land in Green Cove Springs on Dec. 16 for $85 million.
The land, known as Governors Park, previously was part of the Gustafson family ranch. It is west of U.S. 17 and north and south of the First Coast Expressway in Clay County.
It had been considered for a master-planned development of up to 4,000 single-family homes.
The property was sold through GCSD LLC and GCSE LLC. The buyer was Westport Capital Partners of Stamford, Connecticut, through Governors Park Property Holdings LLC.
According to its website, Westport Capital Partners and its affiliates manage about $3.8 billion of assets on behalf of U.S. and foreign investors.
The Davis family, founders of the Winn-Dixie grocery chain, bought the land in 2019 for at least $13.3 million for the bulk of the property according to deeds. That includes at least $12.7 million for about 2,700 acres.
The Davis family said in a Dec. 19 news release they sold the property to the developer, who has more immediate plans for the property.
"Our focus will remain on our current land holdings while we continue to pursue other land opportunities in Northeast Florida," said Jed Davis, president and CEO of DDI, Inc., a Davis family company.
The PARC Group is the master developer of Nocatee and eTown, both built on land owned by the Davis family.
"Clay County's market fundamentals are incredibly positive, and we remain interested in the area for future development," said Roger O'Steen, chairman of The PARC Group.
"We look forward to building upon our success with Nocatee and eTown in developing lifestyle-focused master-planned communities."
The property is known as Governors Park, the name of its Development of Regional Impact.
A 2019 Governors Park Planned Unit Development document described it as a mixed-use, master-planned community on 3,112 acres around the future interchange of the First Coast Expressway and the Green Cove Springs Bypass.
The Daily Record reported in August 2019 that residential use will account for the largest space, at 1,394 acres; followed by 800 acres for open space; 214 acres for golf course use; and the rest for light industrial; commercial; office; hotel use; and parks.
The PUD showed up to 4,000 single-family homes, 2,000 multifamily units, 840,000 square feet of commercial space, 700,000 square feet of office space, 400 hotel rooms and 2 million square feet of industrial space.

Q: Method 'PUT' in Snap If I specify method="PUT" in a web form and also filter by this method in the route by giving
 ("/tickets/:id",      method PUT    updateTicket)

the form never gets to the handler.
The handler never even triggered. As soon as I change method to POST in the route and in the form then everything works as expected.
Any idea why?
Thanks.

A: Try not limiting your route to a certain method.  Then you can do some debugging to see what's really going on:
updateTicket = do
    meth <- getsRequest rqMethod
    liftIO $ putStrLn $ "Request had method "++(show meth)
    ...

Then play around with your form and see what's actually happening.


Yoenis Cespedes has quickly become a player in which fantasy owners have a great interest. He has flash and pizazz. All of those traits that make us want to be First. But while most of us have watched his scouting/promotional video, few of us have received any real scouting reports. For that reason I'd like to point you to Derek Carty's recent article on the Baseball Prospectus site.
In talking with scouts, everyone is in agreement that Cespedes is a physical freak; however, some made mention that this hasn't always been the case. As recently as the World Baseball Classic in 2009, Cespedes was said to have been almost a completely different player. A few scouts I spoke with hadn't seen him since the WBC and didn't feel it was even worth it to relay their impressions because Cespedes has changed so dramatically. Given his striking change in stature and tools, one scout who has seen Cespedes recently actually speculated that Cespedes could be on HGH. To be clear, this was pure speculation and not grounded in any actual knowledge or evidence, but it is worth passing along as Cespedes is sure to get tested under MLB's new policies and would need to stop, which may or may not affect his tools and performance.
The article has a ton of interesting stuff that you want to read as a potential Cespedes owner.
