NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND, USA (December 2, 2020) – Following the resounding success of the 2019 12mR World Championship held in Newport, R.I., the International Twelve Metre Association (ITMA) has again selected America's City by the Sea as the venue for the 2022 12mR World Championship. "We expect an enthusiastic response and a strong turnout by our dedicated 12mR fleet members who always relish sailing out of Newport," said ITMA President Paul Buttrose.
Scheduled for September 19-24, 2022, the regatta will be held during the traditional 12 Metre sailing season established during 25 years (1958-1983) of America's Cup competition in the waters off Newport, R.I. Many of the 12s competing were specifically designed for Rhode Island Sound's early autumn weather conditions. Set against the same backdrop, the 2022 event will re-kindle iconic America's Cup competition between numerous Auld Mug Defenders including US-16 Columbia (1958), US-17 Weatherly (1962), US-22 Intrepid (1967 & 1970), US-26 Courageous (1974 & 1977) and US-30 Freedom (1980).

The 12 Metre Yacht Club Newport Station, the official home of ITMA's North American 12mR fleet, will coordinate all event activities in partnership with Ida Lewis Yacht Club, repeating their award-winning* Race Management role. Ida Lewis Yacht Club's current Vice Commodore, Steven MacGillivray said: "Ida Lewis Yacht Club is pleased to be the Organizing Authority for the 2022 12 Metre World Championship. Our Race Committee, Flag Officers and membership look forward to an exciting and fair regatta for all competitors."
*U.S. Sailing awarded their prestigious St. Petersburg Trophy to the Ida Lewis Yacht Club for excellence in Race Management as voted by 2019 12mR Worlds competitors.
After several changes of ownership throughout the 12mR fleet, a new guard of Modern Division teams will meet on the Worlds racecourse. They include Enterprise (US-27), raced by Peter Askew's renowned "Wizard" team and Freedom (US-30), now owned by the accomplished "Sled" team's Takashi Okura. In the Grand Prix Division, 2019 Worlds second and third place winners — Patricio Bertelli's Kookaburra II (KA-12) and Gunther Buerman's New Zealand (KZ-3)– will again face-off for the top podium position.
Recent 12mR World Champions expected to defend their titles include 2019 Modern Division winner—Challenge XII (KA-10), owned by Jack LeFort, who also serves as Commodore for the 12 Metre Yacht Club Newport Station. "There is new energy and great momentum building in the 12mR Class," said LeFort. "In Newport, we are excited to return to the race course to compete with old rivals and new challengers next season and through the 2022 Worlds."

When using Webpack, it transforms all of your require/import statements.
But sometimes, you don't want that behaviour, you want to Webpack to keep it as is.

You can use `__non_webpack_require__` to generate a require function that is not parsed by Webpack.

In his directorial debut, young NYC-based (and Seattle-bred) filmmaker Alden Peters documents his own coming-out experience, capturing everything on-camera as he plans and boldly captures his disclosures to friends, family, and society. Inspired by social media coming out videos by teens around the world, Coming Out places viewers directly inside the raw, intimate moments when Alden reveals his true identity to his family and friends, ranging from the painfully awkward to the hilariously honest. Peters even shows footage from his first Pride in Seattle from 2011 and his initial visits to Neighbours and R-Place.
Crowd sourced videos from LGBTQ youth from around the world complement the depth of Alden's own story, and he also interviews his own family, friends, and leading LGBT figures and experts, including Janet Mock, about the unique challenges of coming out in today's digital era.
So, my first question, why wasn't this in last year's (2015) Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival (now called Twist)?
Peters said that he entered in Newfest, Outfest, Frameline and more and instantly got the distribution deal.
I chatted more with Peters by phone.
MK SCOTT: Hi, Alden. I just saw your Fab Doc on coming out; tell us what made you document your whole coming out process?
ALDEN PETERS: The idea to start this project happened, you know, as I was planning on coming out and kind of figuring out what I was gonna do. So, I started watching coming out stories online. You know, just people on their computer to the camera showing what happened and then eventually started like trying to find some sort of documentary that maybe captured the whole process, in real time so you see these moments on camera instead of just discussed about afterwards and I didn't find that, it just didn't exist. So, I kind of had ... I was in film school at the time and I thought: Well, if I film my coming out process, I can create that film that I wanted to hear, that I was searching for, before I came out of the closet.
MK: In the film, you tell your friends and family and everyone was okay about that?
ALDEN: I was really unsure of what would happen, because most of the coming out stories that I have heard usually involve a strained relationship of some sort. And I kind of just assumed that that was inevitably part of the process. I actually was like kind of worried that like one of these people in my life would actually have a serious issue with it and and our relationship would either end or be strained or something because of coming out and I was super fortunate that everybody super close to me was ultimately very supportive [although] there were some reactions that were not positive - some people who, you know, telling them this news did change our relationship in different ways [and] they decided they didn't want to be part of the project and that's also kind of why the film has all of these, the positive reactions, because those are the people that, of course, you know, want to be part of this, this film process project that I was putting together.
MK: Yeah, actually, that was my next question: Whether or not if there were any scenes that were cut based on the reaction?
ALDEN: Yeah, there was a couple. So, that was just not only what I was telling them but also the fact that it was happening on camera some people were uncomfortable with one or the other or both and ultimately those weren't included.
MK: Yeah, because I have seen like your family had absolutely no issue whatsoever. I know it was hard for you to talk to your dad about it.
ALDEN: Yeah, my dad was kind of the one that I was most nervous about. I think that's kind of maybe more like a common thread, you know, for like gay men especially to tell their fathers this. And, and my, the reaction to my siblings, too. They were kind of like 'How did Dad react? Did he react well?' Like, they were curious. I think all of us were sort of, wouldn't really know how he would react to that, that news so I was extra nervous to tell him.
ALDEN: It's funny how that happens, right? ... Where, it's kind of like, it's almost like your prediction, for me anyways, my prediction was that, most of my predictions were wrong. Where, it's like, like there are no extreme extreme negative reactions in the film but, like, generally the people who kind of were a little more uncomfortable were those that I thought would be totally fine and those that were totally fine and supportive were ones that I would have thought to be totally uncomfortable.
MK: I had done a bunch of coverage about six years ago, all related to those teen suicides. There was like a suicide like every other week. That was also the time of Tyler Clementi and so forth ... and so it was really cool that you actually did document that particular point; and during all of that, did that make it feel like you needed to come out at that time?
ALDEN: Yeah, that was, that was my wake up call that I needed to do something. For me, it really, I wasn't, you know, like living an openly-gay life and it was just secret to my friends and family: I just hadn't told them. It was an actual, like self-belief thing that was going on: I wasn't acting on anything other than in secret so that was kind of like a wake up call that, that was not like a healthy path, right? And the breaking news story for Tyler Clementi specifically was that, that, you know, he was outed by his roommate with the, with, uh, the roommate, as you know, recorded [Tyler] and another man on his webcam remotely and then tweeted about it, did another viewing, and that kind of, like, petrified me because I felt like, you know, I was doing the same thing: meeting men secretly at the time. And I thought 'If I were suddenly outed, what would my reaction be?' And that was kind of a very scary train of thought and I realized, like, I have two options at this point: either to come out or to keep it a secret and I chose to come out and then, of course, went the total opposite direction which is came out super publicly with an entire film.
MK: Now in the film you got to sit down with the iconic Janet Mock. How did that come about?
ALDEN: You know, I was super lucky to be able to talk to Janet because she was actually finishing her book, Redefining Realness, and I just e-mailed her and, like, told her about, and she was, she was interested. She was really interested in this intersection of coming out and sharing your story, but, like the digital aspect of it, right? So, in the film, you see these three kind of stages, like: before coming out, coming out, and then finding a community afterwards. And, within all three of those there is this umbrella of our digital lives and what we can keep secret, what we share, how we can stay anonymous or not, and she was interested in that, and it was a wonderful, wonderful conversation. [It was] also probably the most difficult, one of the most difficult scenes to edit, because she was so wonderful. I wanted to leave [so much of our conversation] in the film. She could have been in half the film. She was really excellent!
MK: Well, it looked like you guys were having a really, really, really good time. It was a great - it looked like it was a great conversation.
ALDEN: Yeah, we actually, after the cameras stopped rolling, we were kind of talking a little bit, just about sharing our own stories, which she was doing in her book, and for the film, and I was telling her (because I had read the Marie Claire piece) and I was like 'You know, you look at the two of us and our situations are totally different and, yet, somehow I felt such a connection to your piece.' And she says, 'Yeah, that's really interesting, right? You know, that keeps happening.' She said, like, 'The more personal you make, tell your story, the more people will actually respond to it in the, like, being vulnerable or specific about what [you share] and don't share and that actually kind of is something that I remembered for the rest of the editing, you know, especially in certain scenes, like, it was uncomfortable, 'Do I want to share this in the film?' 'Do I not want to do it?' and I just kind of remembered what Janet told me and kind of leaned into that and that, that really helped the strength of the film also.
MK: Yes, okay, and then you got to go to your first Gay Pride and it was (2011) Seattle Gay Pride.
ALDEN: It was! I was so nervous. I was, went all by myself with a couple cameras, and was just, felt like a total outsider, just looking and watching, and, and at that time hadn't really, still very much like figuring out what this being gay meant to me and how I fit into this community, but it was a lot of fun. I actually haven't been back to Seattle Pride since then, unfortunately, but I go every year here in New York.
MK: And, then also, you got to go to some of Seattle's iconic clubs and bars?
ALDEN: Yeah, so, I think it's kind of like part of our community, right? That there's always this aspect of, like, the bar setting, or the club setting, that kind of like historically has always been true and that's just always part of this coming out process for all of us, right? That it's like 'Go to the gay bar.' And that's part of, that's part of us being part of the community, and for a lot of us, right?, that's kind of like the first thing we see and maybe we first think, like, this is the community, but it can also be a kind of nuanced community that you can find your place in in other spaces, but at first I was just kind of like 'Oh, my gosh, this is overwhelming.' Don't feel that way so much anymore, like, definitely feel more comfortable, and I will go out and have fun on weekends and stuff, but it was a big shock at first going from like completely-closeted to suddenly being in a bar.
MK: Okay, how is it going, are you dating? Are you going out? Are you meeting people?
ALDEN: (Laughs) Uh huh. Yes. All of the above! What can I say? This is not, this is not the kind of question my mom asks me ... whenever I talk to her on the phone! (Laughs) Trying to get answers about my dating life. Um, yeah, it's kind of interesting. You will also notice that it's totally absent from the film in general, and that was, yeah, that's just been kind of like one of those places where I felt like, yeah, maybe this is something I don't want to share.
MK: What advice would you give to other LGBT youth?
ALDEN: I think that, it's really hard to give like some blanket advice to, like youth, especially, about coming out. Ultimately, though, that like, you know, society is, like, getting better. Not everywhere. Very lopsided progress but it is. But really, I feel like our community is getting better. And, and, like, we as a community are getting better and that, you know, we're here for each other, that there is, like, there are no communities, few communities, that really, really rally together, especially when tragedy strikes, and especially when we are, we're helping those in our community that need the most help, like, we really do come together and, like, all of the other kind of like differences and problems within the community disappear, and that's something that, you know, you are a part of that. And we're all here for each other and that's what I would say, you know. To, to find that community where everybody's for you and, and really become a part of it, because it is really, really powerful.
MK: Wonderful, well, thank you so much for your time. We appreciate it. And best of luck to you on the film!

13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher review / Why should you live.
Trigger Warning: Suicide and some personal experience.
I was probably living under the rock, but I haven't heard about this book up until it popped on my Netflix. Almost at the same time, I got a chance to get this book to review and I though why not.
I didn't realised how many memories this book will bring back to me and I believe this book can change your life and how your actions can affect other people. This is kind of book that shows you how fragile humans can be.
One day Clay received a package in the mall with 13 audiotapes in the shoe box. Audiotapes are narrated by Hannah Baker. The girl who committed suicide. Clay received this package because he is one of the thirteen reasons why she did what she did. While listening to tapes, Clay is wondering through town visiting monumental spots from Hannah's life.
This book was clever and I really enjoyed it.
I was breezing this books quickly observing everything that happened to Hannah. As I mentioned before, it brought back so many memories back from when I was a teenager. Back then, I was just out of emotionally abusive relationship, needed to deal with bullying at school and deal with everything that happens in every teenagers life. I was depressed and did not care for life anymore.
Not many of you know this, but I did try to end my life. I was in very very dark place and just like Hannah, decided I had enough. Enough of bullying, enough of fake smiles, pretending to care. So what did I decided to do? End it. Thankfully not successfully.
And you know what? Life changed. After finishing school I started to see light in the end of tunnel and when I finally decided to leave my motherland with all these troubling memories and start new life. I never looked back.
Since then I thought a lot about this period of my life and what helped me to see the light. So why should you live?
It's hard to believe, but it will change. You will have better days and not so great days. Just life rollercoaster, but it's so worth it.
Find the way to express yourself and your feelings. I wrote poems (I know, right?). It's easier when you can express your feelings and thoughts through some sort of art form.
Look after yourself. Take a long bath, have a walk, read and listen to music.
The people who bullied/abused/hurt you are complete failures and (in my experience) do not accomplish a lot in their lives.
Making list helps. Make lists of positive things you would like to achieve in your life and work towards it.
Live your life. Full of colours and light. Don't give up.

I give full marks for this place, The Best Western Hotel Elysees Bassano, for its safety and locality. Also the staff is pretty friendly and offered a warm welcome every time I entered the hotel.

This hotel is located on district 16 just a few minutes away from Avenue des Champs Elysees as well as Arc de Triomple.
There are around 40 rooms in this hotel with 14 non-smoking rooms. Graced with perfect locality this particular hotel offers charm, elegance and luxury living. I was here for a 5-night stay with my girlfriend and was pretty much amazed to receive lots of room facilities like dry cleaning, baggage hold, laundry and personal locker, bell services and others. Internet and fax services were working super fast in my room. I had a great time at the cocktail lounge of the hotel where I could taste some of the best drinks of Paris. In my stay I could roam around to check out some of the popular attractions like Champs Elysees Avenue, Le Lido, Eiffel Tower, Aquarium du Trocdero, Jardin des Tuileris and other places.
If shopping is your taste, you will definitely like to stay in Best Western Hotel Elysees Bassano in Paris as all major shopping centers are within the reach of 1.0 kilometer. It is simple to reach to your destination in bus, a cab or by taking a car from the hotel itself.

Is it a disco thing?
The Knocks are finishing out 2017 strong, contributing to Sofi Tukker's "Best Friend" (you know, the apple commercial song) and their recent single "House Party" with production savants Captain Cuts. Several remixes have emerged over the past few weeks by Oliver, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano and Doorly and now we are happy to premiere a new one from BUKU.
The song starts the same with J Patt wondering if it's a disco thing, a club thing or even a street thing. He just doesn't know. Then BUKU mixes in his secret sauce to the song and adds some heavy distortion to the tune, almost like the speakers at the house party were getting pushed to the max and blowing out, but in a good way. BUKU mixes in some more verses from The Knocks with drums and spacey synths.
The remix will be released tomorrow, December 15 via Big Beat/Atlantic. Until then, you can stream it right here, right now.

How Does C/D Test Cars?
A primer for gearheads on the meaning of 0-to-60, the panic stop, and the always amusing lane-change maneuver.
LARRY WEBSTER
AARON KILEY
When you take your beloved Italian sports car to the repair shop with the big "Imports" sign on it, you never want to turn over the keys to that 18-year-old mechanic who just graduated from Wrench U. No, you want Renaldo, the old guy, the guy who rests his palm on the valve cover to detect misfires, the guy who smells the exhaust to determine if the carburetor is running rich.
You should feel the same way about our published test results, since in this case we're the old guy: We have more experience than any other American magazine. We test more than 150 cars each year.
And today, class, we're here to tell you how we do it.
First, we test cars for one reason: to answer the question "What'll it do?" Testing tells us other things, too, such as how easily a car can merge into traffic, how well the brakes slow the car, how honest a manufacturer is with its performance claims.
The backbone of our testing program, and also our newest piece of equipment, is the Racelogic VBOX data logger, measuring equipment that can fit in a briefcase. After a lengthy trial period, the head office ponied up for three of the $10,000 systems.
The VBOX can record speed, distance, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, and position. We use it to record acceleration, braking, and top speed.
The VBOX communicates with the U.S. government's global positioning system, a constellation of 24 satellites that orbit the earth 10,600 miles overhead. At least four of the satellites are above the horizon at all times, and each sends a carrier signal that is picked up by the VBOX's antenna (a small magnetic unit that you affix to a test vehicle's roof). As a vehicle travels, it draws nearer to some satellites and farther from others. As this happens, the frequency of the carrier signal shifts minutely. The VBOX senses this frequency shift, which is also known as the Doppler effect, and calculates the velocity, acceleration, and distance traveled.
We test new vehicles here in Michigan and in California. Our West Coast tester, Aaron Robinson, has one of the three VBOX units. A big upside of the VBOX is that it's compact and weighs just three pounds, whereas the old Datron DLS-1 optical fifth wheel setup that we previously used weighs about 15 pounds and comes in a big trunk. Our Michigan testing is done at DaimlerChrysler's proving ground in Chelsea, about 15 miles west of Ann Arbor. We rent the facility's 1.6-mile concrete straightaway, an asphalt skidpad that measures 1000 by 900 feet, and the 4.7-mile banked oval. (When cars aren't available here or in California, we simply take the equipment to the source and rent a nearby drag strip or racetrack.)

Claim £600 Bonus
https://www.betbright.com/casino
As we would with any site that caters to more than casino activities, please be mindful of the bonuses, as they're not all used on the same features. For example, two sign up offers are given, but only one of them can be used for the casino. This deal gifts as much as £600 in bonus monies. To get your hands on it though, you'll need to make three deposit bonuses instead of one, with a minimum of £10 needed for each of them. The value of the bonuses goes from 100%, down to 50% on your second allocation, and then back up to 75% on your third. Should you win when playing with the free money, a 50x wagering requirement will be applied and need to be met before withdrawals are made.

BetBright Casino Bonuses and VIP
If you've played the welcome offer and are in need of other promos, you'll find that BetBright is limited in what it can give you. There's two other bonuses, based on two different games, with each of them generating either cashbacks or free spins; this is good, but it isn't going to entice us to sign up. What might do however, is the loyalty programme, where points are collected to be later turned into prizes. We grant you that it's not much to go on, but it'll give you a small project to work towards when in between games.
BetBright Casino Review
Our job reviewing casinos means that we have to wade through endless reems of jargon and cheesy taglines everyday, with most labels eager to sell themselves as the 'next big thing'. What we found when we started to review BetBright, was that they've taken a different approach, choosing to be humble, even accepting of the fact that you might not have heard of them. Whenever a site is this aware of itself, and its impact on customers, we prick our ears up and listen.
About BetBright Casino
Should you not have heard of this iGaming brand, they're an Irish based company, one that's been used by many UK bettors for sports betting and the like in the past. However, it's only recently, a couple of years after its release in 2013, that the brand has started offering casino games. Although the website is only for UK and Irish players, the range offered could compete with the majority of international brands.
Dedsert Ltd, the owners and operators of BetBright, are regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, the regulatory body that presides over this website. Given the limited scope of accepted territories, it makes sense that only one license is being used, rather than several.
As we delve into the activities now, we find a smoking pot of hot on trend titles, all of which come from respected labels like Microgaming and NetEnt. Seeing as these are some of the most renowned developers around, having them available on a smaller platform is a feature not to be sniffed at. Included in the games are slots, instant wins and table games, with a live casino option provided at the top of the page.
BetBright doesn't give us any play for fun options, however they do offer us a chance to learn more about the titles before playing with real money. Although a small peace offering, it's one that helps us gauge whether we like an activity or not, and so it could save us money in the long run.
Those of you who want the above games but on the go can jump for joy, as there's an Apple and Android app to download, as well as accessing the site through your preferred mobile browser. BetBright Mobile will allow you to punt, spin, bank and ask for help just as its main site would, and so it receives high praise from us for its fluidity and accessibility.
We're stopping off at the cashier now, to take a closer look at the banking methods BetBright permits. Before you play with this site, it's worth reminding yourself that this is still a niche brand, and so it only offers the most commonly used forms of payment, like Mastercard. As such, the options are few in number but they'll still do the job. In regards to currencies, only GBP is allowed, seeing as this is a UK and Ireland only casino.
Regardless of whether you want to deposit or withdraw, you'll need a minimum of £10 to do so, with withdrawals capped at £4,000 every seven days. Other than that, the banking is as uncomplicated as the next casino, allowing you to perform transactions swiftly. The only real pain is the wait for funds to clear, which can take several business days.
So far, we've faced little in the way of technical or design issues, that is until we get to customer support. Although BetBright provide more than adequate quality, the confusion of new windows opening and redirected sections gets us in a tizz. This is because there's no way to open the contact us without visiting the help centre first, where we then have to select a question before we can gain access to emails, contact numbers and the live chat. As for how long support is available, that's between the hours of 8am and midnight, arguably the most popular time periods.
For saying BetBright wasn't a brand we'd concerned ourselves with before now, our experience was one of fun, with the humble atmosphere of the brand helping to put us at ease. We felt valued when gaming with BetBright.

I suggest to stop these thread creations, feels like spam. The new joiner(s) most likely does not even know, or most don't care, or don't want to intro themselves, so it's better to them take their own initiative to create their own "Hello, world!" introduction threads. So far the few I've seen, they don't even respond to your automatically created thread and welcome message.
I would instead recommend shooting an automated private message to them, with the link to direct them to the correct sub-forum for self introductions.

How to Save Water by Reducing Energy Consumption in Your HVAC System
Water, one of the most essential components of our survival, is proving to be insufficient at fulfilling the basic requirements (amounts) to people across the world. Saving water is no longer an option, but a necessity to ensure life for our future generations.
Apart from the obsolete measures of water harvesting we need to come up with new and better ideas to reduce our consumption of water. In our modern homes, the water consumed by electrical equipment is much larger than one can imagine, especially the HVAC system. Hence, in this article, we shall be listing a few ideas that could help you reduce the amount of water being used up by your HVAC system.
Choosing the Right HVAC Supplies:
To many, water consumption by the buildings seems to be an exaggerated issue. It must be noted that the HVAC system of a building accounts for almost 49% of the total water consumption by it. To take an informed decision and resort to the issue, the authorities first need to track down the water consumption of the building.
After this, the entire building should be surveyed as to device methods to maintain its temperature without consuming energy. Proper usage of ventilation will reduce the load on equipment that requires energy to maintain the temperature of the place. Therefore, it's important to go for the right HVAC supplies to save the water in your building.
Evaporation:
A significant amount of water is lost due to evaporation, in all buildings. Water passing through the drainage system is in the continuous effect of heat and can therefore be lost at a rapid rate. The temperature of the cooling towers of the buildings is usually hot. However, the temperature isn't high enough to kill the bacterias present in the water that passes through them.
As a result of this, the water evaporates due to the temperature, and the concentration of unhealthy bacteria and other microorganisms increases in it, which ends up causing severe diseases. Managers pass the water through a chemical treatment to kill the bacteria.
After the chemical treatment, a blowdown treatment is given to the water in order to drain away all the chemicals it carries. A rather appropriate system would have less water circulating through its HVAC system and therefore there shall be less consumption of water.
Chiller plants:
Water-saving is directly proportional to energy saving. Therefore, to save water, we need to save energy and reduce its consumption. To start with, the size of a chiller plant, used to maintain the temperature of a building, should be proportional to its efficiency. A good and optimum chiller plant would cut down the usage of energy in the system and therefore cost less.
It would also check the excessive water supplied to the chiller plants and reduce its supply. The performance of the chiller plants needs to be optimized in order to reduce water consumption. The use of windows to maintain the temperature of a room or house would reduce the usage of chiller plants.
Even if the temperature of the thermostat is raised by a few degrees, it mostly goes unnoticed by the people residing in the room. However, what makes a significant difference is the amount of water usage. Raising the temperature of the thermostat by a few degrees lowers the amount of water consumed in the process by a significant value.
Major attention should be paid to the air handling systems. In the morning the temperature is usually low and hence less energy should be consumed to get it to a suitable temperature. As the temperature of the building rises with the sun getting over it, the building requires more energy to maintain the temperature. In the evening, the temperature again falls, therefore reducing the requirement of energy.
Apart from the obsolete measures of water harvesting, we need to come up with new and better ideas to reduce our consumption of water.
The HVAC system of a building accounts for almost 49% of the total water consumption by it. A building should be surveyed as to device methods to maintain its temperature without consuming energy.
An appropriate system should be brought into play that would have less water circulating through the HVAC system and therefore less consumption of water.

Given that art as art engages imagination and art as art increases understanding by providing "insights", then imagining can provide insights. Furthermore, as "insight" constitutes belief and influences behaviour, then assuming that art as art can be insightful implies that imagination can ground belief. However, on the one hand, imagining when treated as belief is a case of delusion (Egan 2010), and on the other, research has shown how successfully humans quarantine imagining from belief (Currie and Ravenscroft 2002, Leslie 1987 etc.). This suggests that either art as art conveys information like any other form of communication, hence not especially imaginatively; or it does engage us imaginatively and as such has no lasting effect on knowledge or behaviour unless we are delusional. On the contrary, recent theories of imagination (e.g. Gendler 2006, Schellenberg 2013) provide the resources to argue that art as art can be insightful but this argument involves rejecting the standard cognitive-value-of-art type accounts (e.g. Young 2001) in favour of one that focuses on the expressive and formal qualities of artworks. I argue that art does not provide us with new facts or knowledge because artistic representations must be found plausible or normatively valid to begin with, in order to win our cooperation to imagine. The sense in which art as art can be insightful is through imaginative engagement that restructures or reconfigures schemata of already held beliefs through which we subsequently can experience (notice, select and ascribe meaning and significance to objects) afresh.

Discover Swansea with megabus
Wales's second city is often overshadowed by neighbouring Cardiff, but book a coach to Swansea and you're in for a treat. For starters, the city is in an incredible location. You've got the beach on your doorstep and the gorgeous Gower Peninsula countryside within easy reach. There's plenty going on in the city itself, too. Pick up a bargain at Swansea Market, soak up some history at the National Waterfront Museum, or order a Welsh cake at one of the many cafés and restaurants. The choice is yours.
Swansea: top 3 things to do
1. Try watersports on Swansea Bay beach
This part of South Wales has plenty of beaches, but the most convenient of the lot is Swansea Bay beach. It's just a few minutes' walk from the city centre, and boasts a whopping five miles of golden sand. There's a watersports centre here, if you fancy trying your hand at kayaking, kite-surfing or stand-up paddle boarding.
2. Tour Dylan Thomas's birthplace
You'll be hard-pressed to find anyone in Swansea who hasn't heard of Dylan Thomas. The author and poet was born and raised in the city, and his legacy lives on in his former house. Join a guided tour and you can check out his old bedroom, which has barely changed in 80 years. Getting here is easy – the house is about a 10-minute bus journey from the city centre.
3. Catch a bus to Mumbles
A half-hour bus ride from Swansea, the seaside town of Mumbles is a must-do. Not only is it the gateway to the Gower Peninsula, it's also a lovely town in its own right. Walk along the beach with an ice-cream, try your luck in the arcade on Mumbles Pier, and browse the fancy boutiques on Newton Road.
Swansea: getting around
Catching a coach to Swansea is quick and convenient. Plus, with megabus, you'll usually get all the added extras you need. Enjoy free WiFi*, charging points* and a 20kg luggage allowance.
Your bus to Swansea will drop you off in the heart of the city, so you don't have to waste any time. Swansea is a really walkable city, and you can reach a lot of the main attractions on foot. If you'd rather catch a local bus, you can plan your route using Traveline.
When you want to venture a bit further afield, the Gower Peninsula is within easy reach. You can take a bus from Swansea city centre to the seaside town of Mumbles in about half an hour.
Swansea: best for nightlife
Swansea's nightlife is some of the best in Wales. You'll find most of the action on Wind Street – pronounced 'Wine Street' – which leads up to Swansea Castle. Here, bars and nightclubs keep the party going into the early hours.
For a more chilled-out evening, you have plenty of traditional Welsh pubs to choose from. Lots of them serve up local craft beer from the nearby Gower Peninsula. If you dare, try an Oystermouth Stout, which is made from oysters from the seaside town of Mumbles.
Swansea: best for shopping
For high street buys, the Quadrant Shopping Centre is your best bet. It's under cover, which is great on a rainy day, and the shops here are open late every Thursday. This part of the city is also where you'll find Swansea Market, the largest indoor market in Wales. There are more than 100 stalls, selling everything from meat and cheese to clothes and jewellery. And, of course, you can't come here without sampling an iconic Welsh cake.
Swansea for free: our top 3
1. Visit the National Waterfront Museum
You'll find the National Waterfront Museum next to Swansea Marina, just a short walk from the city centre. Its displays and exhibitions take you through 300 years of Welsh history, and show the impact the Industrial Revolution had on the country. As an added bonus, the museum's floor-to-ceiling windows mean you get unbeatable views of the marina.
2. Wander around the Clyne Gardens
Just a 15-minute bus journey from Swansea city centre, Clyne Gardens is an oasis of calm. Highlights include the vast collection of rhododendrons, and the tallest magnolia in Britain. You can also stroll through the wild flower meadow and photograph your way around the colourful bluebell woods.
3. Admire the boats in Swansea Marina
For a real taste of life in Swansea, head down to the bustling marina, which is about a 10-minute walk from the city centre. On a sunny day, it's easy to while away a few hours watching the fishing boats and private yachts come and go. This part of the city is also really pretty at night, when it's all lit up

Schuettler's farewell
Posted on December 2, 2012 by Voo de Mar
Australian Open 2003 – it's a tournament which defines Rainer Schuettler's [845] status in tennis history. The German unexpectedly reached the final; Marat Safin helped him a bit withdrawing from their third round encounter, but it would be unfair to say Schüttler was a runner-up by a fluke because he had beaten David Nalbandian and And Roddick in back-to-back matches. "During the two weeks, I didn't think too much," Schuettler recalled. "I was playing match-by-match, I was trying to go on court and play as well as I can. One memory that stands out is when I won match point in the semi-finals against Andy Roddick. I felt how cleanly I hit the backhand down the line to win the match. It was unbelievable during the night session, the stadium was full. The spectators were on their feet for a standing ovation." The backhand was his best shot, he based his game on great physical fitness being a typical grinder with a never-say-die attitude. He announced his retirement in October, but the last match had played ten months before: "I played my last match in January and due to a groin injury and fitness problems I have decided to retire. I would have liked to have played in the London Olympics at Wimbledon this summer, but I will now concentrate on future projects." Besides the Australian Open final, he enjoyed two other highlights in his 17-year career: doubles final at the Olympic games in 2004 where he squandered a quadruple match point alongside Nicolas Kiefer and Wimbledon semifinal '08; that year he seemed finished (ranked 94 entering the tournament; having suffered the longest losing streak at the main level in 2008) but his risky game paid off – he won five matches (like at the Australian Open '03) including a quarterfinal marathon with Arnaud Clement in which he saved a match point.
Curiosities:
* won a match with the most match points saved (10) in the XXI Century by far – beating Andreas Seppi 3-6 7-6(13) 6-0 in Kitzbuhel '04; two months later lost to Seppi from a match point up at the US Open
* was involved in 1 out of 5 more than 5-hour matches at Wimbledon as he defeated Arnaud Clement
* in 2009, within a week was bageled four times (!); in Düsseldorf lost to Robin Soderling (0-6 0-6) and a few days later in Paris to Marc Gicquel (0-6 0-6 4-6); he suffered a double-bagel loss also in 1998 to Jan-Michael Gambill
* 3-0 record with Andy Roddick in 2003 – the year in which Roddick was the best in the world
* lost 337 matches at the main level (only six players lost more in the Open era)

Amber Heard Reportedly Drops Doug Stanhope Defamation Suit
By Jackson McHenry

Amber Heard is clearing out the last of her connections to Johnny Depp. After settling her domestic-violence lawsuit with her ex-husband last month, Heard has dropped her related defamation suit against comedian Doug Stanhope, according to a report from TMZ. After Heard's accusations against Depp became public, Stanhope wrote a column for the Wrap, titled "Johnny Depp Is Being Blackmailed by Amber Heard — Here's How I Know," full of statements that Heard's lawyers called "highly defamatory" and "very hurtful." Meanwhile, Heard recently donated all $7 million from her settlement with Depp to charity.

Earning dividends is a great incentive for investing in certain companies or mutual funds. Dividends are particularly useful for people who need to supplement their retirement income. However, you will need to pay tax on any dividends you receive. Your dividend tax rate will depend on what type of dividends you have, how much you made from those dividends and how much other income you have.
When a company or mutual fund earns profit, it will sometimes share those profits with its shareholders. The payments it makes to shareholders (typically each quarter) are dividends. Most companies pay dividends as cash, but it's possible to get them as stock, stock rights or property.
Companies use ex-dividend dates to determine if a shareholder has held stocks long enough to be entitled to receive the next dividend payment. You can learn more about ex-dividend dates in our guide to dividend investing.
Nonqualified dividends, which we sometimes call ordinary dividends, include a wide range of other dividends you may receive, including dividends on employee stock options and real estate investment trusts. The major difference between the two types of dividends is the dividend tax rate you will pay.
Do You Need to Pay Tax on Dividends?
In short, yes. The IRS considers dividends to be income, so you usually need to pay tax on them. Even if you reinvest all of your dividends directly back into the same company or fund that paid you the dividends, you will pay taxes. The exact dividend tax rate depends on what kind of dividends you have – ordinary or qualified.
Naturally, there are some exceptions. For example, you do not need to pay taxes on dividends from the Alaska Permanent Fund or from veterans' insurance policies. The IRS website has more details on what is considered a qualified dividend.
The dividend tax rates that you pay on ordinary dividends are the same as the regular federal income tax rates. For the 2018 tax year, which is what you file in early 2019, the federal income tax rates range from 10% to 37% (down slightly after being 10% to 39.6% in 2017).
So if you are a single filer with $50,000 of total income, you will fall in the 22% tax bracket for 2018. The dividend tax rate you will pay on ordinary dividends is 22%.
Qualified dividends, on the other hand, are taxed at the capital gains rates, which are lower. For the 2018 tax year, you will not need to pay any taxes on qualified dividends as long as you have $38,600 or less of ordinary income. If you have between $38,600 and $425,800 of ordinary income, then you will pay a tax rate of 15% on qualified dividends. The rate for $425,801 or more is 20%. You can see these rates broken out by income in the tables below.
The tax rates for ordinary dividends are the same the federal income tax rates, and these rates remain unchanged from 2018 to 2019. However, the income thresholds for each bracket increases slightly in 2019 to account for inflation. Similarly, the capital gains rate, which you pay for qualified dividends, is the same as 2018 but the brackets changed slightly due to inflation.
So for the 2019 tax year (which you'll file in early 2020) the dividend tax rates are as follows.
If you have dividend income, you will enter it directly on your 1040. The forms asks for dividend income on lines 3a (qualified) and 3b (ordinary).
The amounts that you put on your 1040 will come right from your 1099-DIV. If you received dividends throughout the year, the brokerages and other financial institutions through which you received dividends will send you 1099-DIV forms.
You may not receive a 1099-DIV if you had less than $10 in dividends. If that's the case, you should still report that income on your tax form. If you have more than $1,500 in ordinary dividends, you will need to report those on Schedule B. Then you will attach Schedule B to your 1040.
Some people will also receive a Schedule K-1. This form is for people who receive dividends (or other income) from a trust, estate, partnership, LLC or S corporation. It's also possible you get a Schedule K-1 if you invest in a fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF) that operates as a partnership. However, even if you get a Schedule K-1, you will get a 1099-DIV reporting the dividends you received.
The IRS requires all financial institutions to send these forms to recipients by Jan. 31. It is possible that your forms won't be available electronically until a day or two later. It may also take a few weeks to receive your form if you get it through the mail.
Line 1a of the 1099-DIV will list the amount of ordinary dividends you have and line 1b will list your qualified dividends.
Dividends are particularly popular in retirement accounts and with retirees. Because you do not have to pay tax on income in a retirement account, dividends you earn in a retirement account are untaxed. That means you can reinvest those dividends to further grow your savings, without the government taxing them first.
Dividends can also provide a steady source of income in retirement. However, don't forget that dividends are not a guarantee. A company or fund could stop paying dividends and even an established company has the potential to go under.
If you are unsure what tax implications dividends will have for you, the best thing to do is talk to a financial advisor. A financial advisor will be able to look at how an investing decision will impact you while also considering your overall financial picture. We recommend using our free financial advisor matching service to help you find advisors who meet your specific criteria.
The biggest way to avoid taxes on dividends is to put dividend-earning stocks in a retirement account. The benefit of retirement accounts is that your money grows tax-free. You will still need to pay taxes either before or after you contribute the money, but you will not have to pay tax as your savings grow within the account.
What kind of retirement account you use will depend on your personal needs. Two common options are a 401(k) plan and a Roth IRA. A 401(k) is sponsored by your employer and takes pre-tax money; you pay income tax when you withdraw funds. A Roth IRA takes post-tax money; you don't get to deduct the money you put in, but once it's in, your money grows tax-free and then can be withdrawn as tax-free income. Here's a breakdown of 401(k) plans vs. IRAs to help you make the best choice for you.
Dividends are a great way to earn extra income. They are especially useful in retirement because they provide a source of regular and (somewhat) predictable income. However, you will need to pay taxes on any dividends you make. The exact dividend tax rate you pay will depend on what kind of dividends you have. Nonqualified dividends (also called ordinary dividends) are taxed at the regular federal income tax rate. Qualified dividends get the benefit of lower dividend tax rates because the IRS taxes them as capital gains.
If you're trying to avoid tax on dividends completely, consider putting your dividend-earning shares in a retirement account. For example, dividends in a 401(k) or Roth IRA will grow tax-free.
Retirement is unique because you have a finite amount of savings, and you need to make it last. Things like creating a retirement budget or downsizing your home will allow you to make your money last. Here are 11 steps to make you retirement savings last.
If you don't know how to get started with retirement savings, consider talking to financial advisor. A financial advisor will be able to look at your individual financial situation and create a realistic plan.

Q: Windows Azure and Unity3d Been interested in Unity3d for certain projects for some time now, and decided to bite the bullet! I started toying around, and fancied the idea of running Unity3d in windows azure.
However, despite my efforts, I was unable to get this running!
Here is what I have tried so far:
Including the Deployment Output from unity directly with my deployment to azure. While it is probably to keep the unity3d file in blob storage in azure, this was just for testing purposes.
I have included the mime type to allow iis to use the unity file (via the web.config):
Code:
<staticContent>
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".unity3d" mimeType="application/vnd.unity"/>
    </staticContent>

Lastly, I have included the UnityWebPlayer.exe file, and added a Startup task to install the UnityWebPlayer on the server. Also here another best practice would be to download the file instead, as it would be the latest version, but again, only for testing at the moment . My service definition of the start up is below:
Code:
<Startup>
    <Task commandLine="UnityWebPlayer.exe /S" executionContext="elevated" taskType="simple" />
    </Startup>

I am curious to reach out to the community to see if anyone else has had any success getting their games to the cloud with windows azure?
EDIT:
I should add then when trying to deploy such a web role, the role is stuck cycling and never deploys. Thanks!

A: I figured it out!
A shout out to smarx for pointing out that you DO NOT need to install the UnityWebPlayer on the server.
As to get the unity file to load correctly, you do have to add the mime type to IIS, it is as above, except without the "."!
Silly me.
Enjoy!

Having the foresight to plan your meals and bring your own healthy snacks may help you improve your eating habits.
Willpower is very important when it comes to sticking to a healthy diet. However, it doesn't stop there. Science Daily reports that healthy eating should be combined with planning, discipline, and motivation in order for it to become a habit.
Researchers from Lisbon University Institute studied how people adjusted to healthy diet changes. They surveyed 203 participants between the ages 18 and 50 about their eating habits with regard to achieving health goals for approximately three weeks. They also looked into the number of fruits and vegetables the volunteers ate on the average during a day in the week prior to the trial.
The research team found that aside from being educated about the health benefits of the right kinds of food and having the confidence to pursue their new diets, the participants' behaviors and eating habits improved when they planned their meals and strategized on how to keep away from temptation. Keeping track of what they ate on a daily basis also helped them stick to their goals and improve their lifestyles.
"We found that having strategies in place to deal with a range eating situations that could undermine good intentions is very important," says researcher Cristina Albuquerque Godinho.
