Hakan Ataman, 2015
Hakan Ataman
Project Coordinator, Médecins Sans Frontières/Helsinki Citizens' Assembly
In 1977, an ultra-nationalist paramilitary group organized a bomb attack in front of the Pharmacy Faculty of Istanbul University. In this attack, seven students were murdered and more than 40 students were seriously injured. Eleven years later, Saddam Hussein committed crimes against humanity on March 16, 1988, in Helebce, northern Iraq. On that day, his warplanes bombed Helebce with chemical weapons. At least 5,000 civilians—the majority of whom were children, women, and older people—were slaughtered and an additional 7,000 people were injured. And so my story starts two years after the Helebce Massacre.
When I was a university student in Ege University based in Izmir, my friends and I organized a series of peaceful protests around Turkey on March 16, 1990. After that, I faced some difficulties in Turkey, but I continued to work for human rights in Turkey and elsewhere. I was affiliated with the Izmir War Resisters Association and supported the conscientious objectors living in Turkey. I participated in an Amnesty International Turkey initiative in 1996. As a volunteer, I was selected as the campaign coordinator of Amnesty International Turkey during its 2000-2002 campaign against torture, formally known as "Take a Step to Stamp out Torture." As a teacher, I worked to raise awareness about human rights. Since 2012, I have been working for Syrian refugees through the Helsinki Citizens' Assembly in Istanbul. Additionally, I am a project coordinator of The Psychological Support and Primary Health Care services for Syrian Refugees living in Kilis, Turkey, which is technically and financially supported by Médecins Sans Frontières. The prevention of conflict, discrimination, and violence including torture and ill-treatment, are main issues for me.
If anyone asks me why I work for human rights, my answer is that I listen only to the voice of my conscience.
The Whitney M. Young, Jr. Memorial Fund sponsored the participation of Hakan Ataman in the 2015 HRAP.
Esther Adhiambo, 2014
Esther Adhiambo
Executive Director, Initiative for Equality and Non Discrimination
After HRAP, Esther Adhiambo started the Initiative for Equality and Non-Discrimination (INEND) in Mombasa, Kenya. INEND researches and undertakes strategic actions towards equality, acceptance and inclusion in the Coast Region of Kenya. INEND also promotes tolerance, non-discrimination, acceptance and inclusion of sexual and gender minorities.
Adhiambo writes: "My biggest win in the LBGQ movement has been the acceptance of sexual minorities by religious leaders in Mombasa County. This was not an easy journey, but I was able to overcome the obstacles. My constant plea to them was that equal human rights apply to all human beings regardless of their sexual orientation and identity. Happily, the end result of these relationships has been a reduction in violence against sexual minorities in the County."
Adhiambo has been in the LBGQ movement for eight years, having previously served as the Executive Director of Persons Marginalized and Aggrieved in Kenya (PEMA Kenya), an organization based in Mombasa that promotes harmony by empowering the local community to respect the rights of sexual and gender minorities.
She served as a board member of the Gays and Lesbians Coalition of Kenya from 2010 to 2013. Adhiambo was also part of the International Advisory Panel for the 2014 African Same Sex Sexuality and Gender Diversity Conference.
Lana Ackar, 2011
Lana Ackar
Gender Officer, OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights
For Lana Ackar, a passion for pursing human rights has always been a large part of her life and within her professional career, she confidently pursued the study of human rights, specifically women's rights. I feel that when you do human rights work, you care—you're alive. Your senses become sharper, and you just feel differently about people. I have learned people are not as simple as you think they are. Everyone has layers of personality and different needs."
Ackar serves as a board Member of the NGO Pravnik, which seeks to bring together professionals and scholars from Southeastern Europe and beyond to study issues related to the rule of law and transitional justice. She believes that the International Summer School Sarajevo project that Pravnik has been running since 2006 will contribute to the advancement of human rights in Southeastern Europe. In 2014, Ackar joined the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights based in Warsaw, Poland, where she currently works on advancing women's political participation and gender sensitivity of democratic institutions.
Huda Ali, 2011
Huda Ali
Vice President, Gesr Center for Development
"For me," says Huda Ali, "human rights are a way of life. I want to promote it more in my country and build a peaceful country." Ali, who grew up in war-torn Sudan, was inspired to work for human rights by becoming aware of the need for human rights in her country. "I lived in a kind of safe city in Sudan, rarely affected by war, but I knew other cities and parts of Sudan were not like this." She explains how she had been fortunate to be raised in a family that supported women's education, work and mobility explaining that her own situation is not that of most other Sudanese women. Ali first joined political activists while completing her university studies. "We asked for a student union," she recalls, "but we were faced with arrests and threats. This shocked me. It was then that I learned it was like that all over the country." Ali decided to help spread the message and increase awareness of human rights among fellow students to change this oppressive culture. During her activism, though, she found a special interest in women's rights. She says, "Gender-based violations of human rights are protected by the law in Sudan. Women have strong intellects but have not been given the chance to prove themselves." With her organization, Gesr Center for Development, she continues to work toward the promotion of human rights. Though early in her human rights career, Ali already expresses the great impact that her pursuit of democracy and human rights for her country has had on her. She says, "I'm more understanding, respectful and accepting of others. Human rights has made me stronger because it has given me a purpose and made me committed to convince others how necessary human rights are."
Naglaa Ahmed, 2010
Naglaa Ahmed
Human Rights Monitoring Officer, ACJPS
Naglaa Ahmed, a 2010 graduate of the Human Rights Advocates Program, has continued her work with the African Center for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) since completing HRAP. ACJPS is an organization whose mission is "dedicated to creating a Sudan committed to all human rights, the rule of law and peace, in which the rights and freedoms of the individual are honored and where all persons and groups are granted their rights to non-discrimination, equality and justice." Ahmed is currently working on a report for ACJPS detailing recent practices of torture in Sudan, titled: "The Prevalence of Torture and No Way to Justice." The report, which is still being finalized, will hopefully be out in August 2015. She has also recently worked as a consultant for Human Rights Watch, as well as continuing her work with REDRESS, which she began in 2010, through 2014.
In addition to these projects, she is proud of other initiatives she has launched since her return to Sudan in late 2010: "I was able to form a youth and students forum to advocate for law reform in Sudan, and also prepared and drafted with others a proposal for the prohibition of torture bill. In late 2010 and through 2011, I mobilized local NGOs and formed an initiative called The Returnee Support Initiative, aimed at providing support to returnees to southern Sudan. My motive was a sense of responsibility towards these returnees, who are struggling during these difficult economic times; for example, food prices have increased significantly, in addition to the government's already harsh policy against South Sudanese people. The object of The Returnee Support Initiative is to provide direct support in terms of food, clothes, and blankets, in addition to medical and legal assistance."
Ahmed notes that her time in HRAP enhanced her networking and communications skills and helped her develop new strategic approaches to tackling human rights issues. She also notes as a result of her time in the program, she was able to assist the REDRESS Trust, an organization which works to help victims of torture survivors obtain justice and reparations, in receiving funding from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) for their Project Criminal Law Reform in Sudan, while she was working for them as a local coordinator.
Ahmed emphasizes the value of connecting with other Advocates from around the world, writing: "I learned great deal from other Advocates' experiences, which empowered me in many ways and motivated me to do more." Her connections have helped in her in practical ways, as well; while planning a trip to Uganda in 2014, fellow 2010 Advocate Agnes Atim assisted her in obtaining her visa for her travels. She writes: "There are many great memories, though one of the greatest was forming an African Women group (members included Glenda, Agnes, Susan and myself). Our intention was to apply what we learned and to work on peace-building and women's empowerment in South Sudan and other conflict areas, the dream to bring this to reality one day and hopefully to develop it in the near future."

James Rwampigi Aniyamuzaala
Human Rights Program Coordinator, Youth with Physical Disability Development Forum
When James Aniyamuzaala became hard of hearing after an accident at the age of eight, it was not his first encounter facing the situation of persons with disabilities. His mother, Mary Aniyamuzaala, was a polio survivor and one of the founders of the National Union of Disabled Persons of Uganda. As an orphan at the age of 12, he recognized that education was the only way for him to survive. However, Aniyamuzaala became frustrated with the stereotypes placed on him as a person with a disability. Aniyamuzaala made it his mission to prevent other persons with disabilities, particularly children and youth, from having the same challenges he had encountered. He says, "I seek to remove the institutional barriers that limit participation of persons with disabilities in development and community programs. I believe that the quality of life of a society can also be measured by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens." Aniyamuzaala also credits his mother as a strong source of inspiration to him: "I felt my mother had left behind a mission to help women and children with disabilities through her organization and that I was responsible to take over to realize her dream of good and improved standard of living for persons with disabilities." Through student groups in high school, Aniyamuzaala began his work as an advocate for the disabled. He continues his work today through the numerous commitments he has made: human rights coordinator with Youth with Physical Disability Development Forum, president of the Uganda Federation of Hard of Hearing, board member of the International Federation of Hard of Hearing Young People, and member of Global Partnership for Disability and Development. He says, "Positive and progressive action both locally and globally motivates me to keep advocating for human rights for persons with disabilities."

The Human Rights Advocates Program at Columbia University is a capacity-building program based in New York City. HRAP provides proven human rights defenders with the skills and knowledge to carry out their human rights work in their home countries. In addition to expanding the human rights knowledge base of Advocates through graduate coursework and rigorous skills-building classes and trainings, HRAP facilitates networking opportunities for Advocates. Each year, HRAP organizes a week-long networking trip to Washington DC for Advocates to meet with NGOs and foundations in their areas of expertise. When asked about how HRAP has helped him with his current work, Siarhei writes, "The networking opportunities have strengthened my networks. The information that I've received from these contacts continues to serve as a resource to me." During his time in Washington, DC, Siarhei met with numerous organizations such as the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations/Solidarity Center, International Labor Rights Forum, and the National Democratic Institute.
Siarhei remains in touch with his fellow HRAP 2010 classmates through LinkedIn, Facebook, and occasional conversations through Skype. When reflecting on his experience at HRAP, Siarhei concludes, "As a result of my participation in HRAP, my understanding of human rights issues and advocacy has changed entirely. I am proud to be a member of the HRAP family."

Agnes Atim Apea
CEO, Hope Development Initiative
Dr. Agnes Atim Apea is the founder and CEO of the Hope Development Initiative (HDI), an organization dedicated to empowering rural women in Uganda to become financially independent. An entrepreneur herself with over 20 years of experience working with development agencies, Apea strives every day to instill that same drive that motivated her to found HDI in the farmers that she works with.
It was this passion to work toward the economic rights of women that led her to apply to HRAP in 2010. Apea writes: "HRAP built my leadership and advocacy skills" and gave her the opportunity to make crucial connections with other organizations. In fact, she was able to secure funding from UN Women after meeting representatives during her time with HRAP. Not only did Apea establish important points of contact, but she also made lasting friendships with her fellow advocate class, with which she is "constantly in contact."
For her tireless devotion to HDI's cause, Apea was honored with the Presidential Golden Jubilee Award on International Women's Day in 2016. Today, she continues to work as passionately as ever with nearly 11,000 farmers in Uganda, helping them to maximize crop yield and profits.

Susan Aryeetey, 2010
Susan Aryeetey
Ghana, 2010
Resource Mobilization and Communications Officer, International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA-Ghana)
Susan Aryeetey is a graduate of the Human Rights Advocates Program in 2010 from Ghana. After HRAP, Aryeetey continued working as the Resource Mobilization Manager at the International Federation of Women Lawyers in Ghana (FIDA-Ghana). In addition to her work in Ghana, Aryeetey is completing her Masters in International Human Rights Law at the University of Oxford via distance learning.
She writes that HRAP provided her with new ideas to improve FIDA-Ghana's advocacy campaigns. Inspired by an oral history workshop offered by HRAP, she integrated recordings of women living with HIV and AIDs speaking about their challenges in owning property and obtaining their inheritance in her organization's campaigns. Due to the innovative nature of this project, it was awarded funding.
Throughout the four-month program, Advocates participate in skills-building workshops and trainings to strengthen their skillsets as advocates and help them build stronger organizations in their home countries. These workshops address a wide range of topics such as fundraising, campaign strategy, advocacy tools, media relations, stress management and research and documentation. While at HRAP, Aryeetey sharpened her fundraising skills through a six-session workshop on fundraising taught by Erik Detiger, the founder of Philantropia. Detiger worked with Aryeetey to improve FIDA-Ghana's fundraising plans and grant proposals. As a result, FIDA-Ghana received a grant in the amount of 74,000. This grant was extended to sustain the organization's project until 2014. She writes that the fundraising skills she gained from HRAP helped FIDA-Ghana benefit from a two-year award of 174,000 which will support the organization's efforts to improve women's access to legal services.
In addition to the fundraising workshops, Aryeetey noted the significant impact that the stress management training has had on her personal and professional well-being. She remarked that the training was a "life saver," adding that "as Advocates we tend to think more of getting the job done, forgetting to take care of ourselves, and I was beginning to feel exhausted." The stress management training taught her to take proactive measures to relieve her stress. It allowed her to work more efficiently and reduce her stress level in a challenging work environment.
Aryeetey remains in touch with her fellow HRAP participants, including Tandia Bakary, Agnes Atim, Glenda Muzenda and Colette Lespinasse.
Evalyne Achan, 2009
Evalyne Achan
Community and Government Liaison Officer, Winrock International
"I am more empowered to handle issues of good governance, human rights, and development head on," states Evalyne Achan from Uganda, a 2009 graduate of the Human Rights Advocates Program. HRAP is a four-month training program for human rights advocates. Based on the campus of Columbia University in New York City and utilizing the many NGO and rights networks available throughout New York, participants follow graduate courses, take part in skills-building workshops, and attend networking meetings among other program activities to advance their advocacy careers. Since completing the program, Achan remarks, "I can now talk with confidence on the rights of human rights issues and know which stakeholders I can work with in order to have issues of human rights addressed.
While in HRAP, Achan joined her current organization, Winrock International, a nonprofit organization that empowers the disadvantaged, increases economic opportunity, and sustains natural resources. She had previously worked for CARE International and the Agency for Co-operation and Research in Development. At Winrock International, Achan is serving as the Community and Government Liaison Officer for the organization's Northern Uganda Development of Enhanced Local Governance, Infrastructures, and Livelihoods (NUDEIL) Program. NUDEIL is a USAID Program that has been sub-contracted to Winrock International. In her position, Achan acts as advisor and facilitator for all programmatic aspects of NUDEIL. Her work is helping local communities and governments in northern Uganda to develop strong and transparent processes, build roads and schools, provide drinking water, and establish rural health and sanitation facilities. The result of Achan's work provides employment, income, and a higher quality of life for communities in northern Uganda.
When asked about the greatest benefit of her participation in HRAP, Achan fondly recalls one of the opportunities that she had during an event sponsored at the United Nations. "My greatest benefit," she says, "was that my self-esteem was highly lifted, networks broadened, and meeting with key personalities in the world, like when I met UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon."
Achan reports many wonderful accomplishments since her very recent participation in HRAP. She says, "I have been able to accomplish key things in my life, was able to raise funds for charity for Rural Development-Uganda, a community-based organization I co-founded to help in promoting and protecting the rights of the formerly abducted child mothers, widows, and women and at the same time improve their livelihoods." Additionally, she explains how HRAP has advanced her personal work, saying, "Through the networks created while at HRAP, I have been able to sell more Paper Beads. The number stands at 2600 beads per month from 600-700 per month. It has helped me to broaden my understanding of human rights work and the roles of being human rights defenders." Reflecting on her accomplishments and participation in HRAP, she concludes, "As much as the HRAP Program empowered me as an individual, the effect has trickled down to the communities in Northern Uganda."

Anbu Sengo Arasi
National Level Coordinator, Positive Women Network (PWN+)
Anbu Sengo Arasi is a 2008 graduate of the Human Rights Advocates Program from India. Reflecting on her experience while in HRAP, Anbu lists the benefits by saying I "developed my writing skills, developed my skills in fundraising, gained an international network, gained self-confidence, and had very good exposure with human rights organizations at the international level." HRAP serves as a comprehensive program of advocacy, networking, skills building, and academic coursework with the goal of providing human rights advocates the many benefits Anbu lists.
Anbu worked as a Program Officer with the Tamil Nadu Women's Forum (TNWF) at the time of her arrival in HRAP. In this role, she acted to defend the rights of Dalit women laborers and to achieve gender justice. For Anbu, the development of writing, fundraising, and networking skills has greatly assisted her work in human rights advocacy. In addition, HRAP also serves as a meeting ground for human rights advocates to learn from one another and become more familiar with the activities and programs of international human rights organizations. Many graduates leave HRAP with a better awareness of human rights advocacy and a stronger sense of their own potential. In Anbu's words, "The program helped me to gain more courage to perform my work and to provide advocacy in all issues of human rights."
Graduates of HRAP also routinely use their participation to bolster their own profiles and expand their operations, possibly even leading to honors and awards for their accomplishments. Although a very recent graduate of HRAP, Anbu replies to the topic of being specially recognized for her work by saying, "Not yet."
Since October 2009, Anbu has served as National Level Coordinator with the Positive Women Network (PWN+), an all-India network of HIV-positive women, focused on improving the quality of life of women and children living with HIV/AIDS. In her role as National Level Coordinator, Anbu coordinates trainings and facilitates programs at the district level and for state/national advocacy.

Where would our favorite TV stars be without their sidekicks, eh? Sidekicks, both in real life and on 30 minute television shows, are essential. They have your back and help you make important decisions, and they're often the best at figuring out who is in your life for the right reasons, and who needs to get the boot. Seriously though, where would Martin be without Tommy and Cole? They got him to go back to Gina when he was playing like he was over her during a bad break up. Or where would Florida Evans be without her girl, and neighbor, Willona Woods? She helped her look out for the Evans family after James died. These are some of the classic examples. Of course, we've found out where these people are through previous "Where Are They Now" installments, so we decided to focus this time on a few folks from some more recent black comedies that we enjoyed (aka, no Pam, Willona Woods, etc.–been done). Per the usual, be prepared to click, but it's worth it!
For years, when it came to watching "Sister, Sister" everybody knew that Roger, who was played by Marques Houston, was the ultimate sidekick. Of course, he wasn't around strictly to be friendly, as he was always trying to mack on Tia and Tamera, but he was there for them when they needed him. When they didn't need him, he knew what to do–"Go home Roger." But once the ladies graduated and found themselves at the University of Michigan, they made besties with a girl named Diavian Johnson. She was the the girlfriend who gave them the real, and occasionally started drama (remember when she made out with Tia's fine ex-boyfriend?), but she was a good friend. Of course, I'm sure you know that Alexis Fields is the little sister of "Living Single" star, Kim Fields.
After doing "Sister, Sister," Fields went on to have a recurring role on "Kenan & Kel," "Moesha," "One On One," and most recently, popped up on episodes of "Let's Stay Together." She also got married and had a little cutie patootie daughter named Kaycie with her husband, Kevin Jackson. Since then, she's focused more on mommyhood than acting, and we can't blame her, homegirl's got it all!
Jenna has been the go-to sidekick homie for years now, making numbers as names acceptable by playing Six LeMeure on "Blossom," but for black folks who weren't fans of that awesome show, you probably know von Oy from her time as Stevie van Lowe on "The Parkers." Stevie came onto the show as the child of a wealthy family trying to make her own lane, and wound up being in a group with Kim and their friend, T, called "Free Style Unity." Near the end of the show, her character studies at UCLA and starts working with Kim in her successful fashion design endeavors.
So what is she doing today? Well, Jenna von Oy guest starred on "Cold Case," "Family Guy" and just completed a movie called Lukewarm. She also tried to jumpstart a country music career, dropping her debut album, Breathing Room, in '07. And if that wasn't enough Jenna got married to computer data consultant Brad Bratcher and they have a daughter together named Gray, who was born in May of this year!
Of course, we know that Vaughn went ahead to have success with her spinoff, "The Parkers, alongside Mo'Nique. After her time with the show ended, Vaughn went on to do a lot of reality television, including "Celebrity Fit Club" (where she went on to be the first cast member to ever gain weight) and "Celebrity Rap Superstar," which she had to bow out of early from after an illness. She did come back to the small screen though, appearing on an episode of BET's "Let's Stay Together" in 2011.
These days, the 4'11" actress and singer is a wife and mother, marrying drummer Christopher Johnson in 2006 and having a little girl named Madison. She's also appeared in the TV movies Fighting the Odds: The Marilyn Gambrell Story and Super Sweet 16: The Movie.
Before he was getting gangsta on-screen in "Baby Boy," we knew Omar Gooding for being Cuba's little brother, and for his time as Mo Tibbs, the BFF of Marcus and T.J. on "Smart Guy." His character was well known for being a lovable moocher, eating all the time at the Henderson's house, sleeping over and just being silly. He is a part of Marcus' band, Mackadocious, and on the side, happens to be an awesome chef, no matter how silly he might act.
These days, Gooding has appeared in a variety of TV shows and movies, and has been trying his hand at a rap career, going by the name Big O, and collaborating on a rap album entitled, Tradin' War Stories. Clearly he's not trying to follow his dad's footsteps of joining in a Main Ingredient type of group. Aside from that, he's popped up on "One on One," in the movie The Gospel, on the TV series, "Barbershop," the show "Playmakers," "Miami Medical," and a few episodes of "Single Ladies." And if that's not enough, he's just started and completed three movies: Bolden, Percentage, and Christmas in Compton.
So where is she now? Vaughn wound up being a regular on the shows "All Of Us" and "Meet The Browns," and popped up in movies like Stick It, Daddy's Little Girls, and Three Can Play That Game. She also started the non-profit, "Take Wings Foundation," which provides scholarships and more for young women in public housing in the Bay Area, and got married to footballer Karon Riley, who they had a son with.
After "The Cosby Show," and "Sister, Sister," Richmond showed up with recurring roles on the shows "Getting By and the show, "Teachers." He's also done a lot of popular movies for young people: Scream 3, Trippin', Not Another Teen Movie, and Van Wilder. He's now doing a movie called FDR: American Badass!
Braxton P. Hartnabrig to you, boo! Duncan played the bad-breath having, hard working but uptight "bourgeoisie" co-worker. I used to love when he would put his finger in the air and go "Aaaah broham!" Of course, Jamie Foxx, who played Jamie King on the show, used to joke with and go in on Christopher's character on the regular, but they were actually friends who looked out for each other when the going got tough, and the girlfriends turned out to be strippers (funny episode).
So where is he now? Nelson, a Scientologist by the way, only did a few programs after "What's Happening!!" and aside from "What's Happening Now!" that included the movie Evilspeak. Nelson still works in TV, but does work behind the scenes, including having credits for talks shows and other TV programs.

Sherlock Holmes és el títol general donat a la sèrie d'adaptacions de Sherlock Holmes produïdes per la companyia de televisió britànica Granada Television entre 1984 i 1994. Les dues primeres sèries es van mostrar sota el títol The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Les aventures de Sherlock Holmes) i van ser seguides per sèries posteriors amb els títols  d'altres col·leccions de contes de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

De les 60 històries de Holmes escrites per Doyle, 43 es van adaptar a la sèrie, que abasten 36 episodis d'una hora i cinc especials de llargmetratge. (L'episodi 40 incorpora les línies argumentals tant de "La pedra de Mazarin " com de "L'aventura dels tres garridebs". L'episodi 35 "El solter apte" té material tant de "L'aventura del noble batxiller" com de "L'aventura de l'Albergador Velat".

La sèrie es va emetre a la cadena ITV del Regne Unit i va estar protagonitzada per Jeremy Brett com Holmes. Watson va ser interpretat per David Burke a la primera temporada i per Edward Hardwicke a partir de la segona temporada.

Va ser emesa per Televisió de Catalunya.

Argument
A finals de l'època victoriana, Sherlock Holmes és l'únic detectiu consultor del món. La seva pràctica és en gran part amb clients privats, però també se sap que ajuda la policia, sovint en forma de l'inspector Lestrade, quan els seus casos se superposen. Els seus clients van des de ciutadans privats de recursos modests fins a membres de la reialesa. La seva capacitat per detectar pistes que els altres poden passar fàcilment per alt, aportar certs coneixements especialitzats —per exemple, química, botànica, anatomia— i el raonament deductiu sobre problemes li permeten resoldre els casos més complexos. En el seu treball l'ajuda el veterà militar Dr. John Watson, amb qui comparteix habitacions al 221B Baker Street. Anhela l'estimulació mental i se sap que recau en la depressió quan no hi ha casos prou complexos per involucrar-lo.

Episodis

La sèrie va durar quatre temporades i 41 episodis: 36 van durar 50 minuts i 5 van ser llargmetratges especials.

Emissió
A més de ser emesa per ITV al Regne Unit, la sèrie també es va veure a l'estranger, especialment als Estats Units, on els episodis es van emetreinicialment a les estacions de PBS al fil Mystery!. Les sèries posteriors van obtenir finançament de coproducció de l'emissora WGBH de Boston. Els programes també s'han emès per dues estacions de televisió per cable dels Estats Units, Disney Channel i A&E Network, i per CBC al Canadà.

Al Regne Unit, la sèrie s'ha repetit sovint: a Granada Plus; a ITV3; ITV4; i a la BBC Two, que va publicar la sèrie completa els dissabtes a la tarda del 2003 al 2005. Això el converteix en un dels pocs programes produïts originalment per una companyia d'ITV per a la seva emissió pel seu propi canal que posteriorment s'hagin mostrat a la BBC. El març de 2006, la sèrie va tornar al seu canal original per primera vegada en més d'una dècada, com a part de la programació televisiva diürna les tardes entre setmana.

La sèrie va ser emesa a TV3 en català; així com a ETB 2 en castellà.

Recepció
Es considera que la sèrie presenta les adaptacions de pantalla més fidels de moltes de les històries de Holmes, encara que es van prendre llibertats amb algunes trames i personatges, sobretot més tard durant els episodis dels anys noranta (per exemple, The Mazarin Stone, rodat el 1994), on va combinar els elements argumentals de dues històries separades de Doyle).

Un gran canvi va ser que Holmes va deixar el seu hàbit de cocaïna a l'episodi "The Devil's Foot", que es va fer amb l'aprovació de la filla de Doyle, quan es va descobrir que la sèrie tenia una audiència infantil considerable. No obstant això, la sèrie ha estat molt elogiada per l'actuació de Brett, la seva adhesió al concepte original de Doyle en la caracterització de Watson, els seus alts valors de producció i la seva gran atenció als detalls de l'època.

Mitjans domèstics
La sèrie ha estat llançada en DVD a les regions 1, 2 i 4, , i s'ha repetit a ITV4 i BBC Two.

La sèrie completa també s'ha llançat en VHS i en DVD, dues vegades en aquest últim, amb el llançament més recent de 2005 aprofitant les impressions de pel·lícules remasteritzades digitalment preparades originalment per a la repetició de BBC Two. El desembre de 2012, la sèrie es va estrenar en Blu-ray al Japó, a Espanya el maig de 2013, a França l'octubre de 2013 i als Estats Units el setembre de 2014.

Regió 1
MPI Home Video ha llançat tota la sèrie en DVD a la Regió 1, en diverses encarnacions. MPI va publicar The Adventures & The Return en volums d'un sol disc així com col·leccions completes. The Casebook & The Memoirs es van publicar com a caixes de col·lecció única. A més, el 25 de setembre de 2007, es va publicar per primera vegada un conjunt complet de sèries amb els 41 episodis en una col·lecció completa.

Regió 2
ITV DVD ha llançat tota la sèrie en diverses col·leccions, així com una caixa de sèrie completa.

Regió 2
La col·lecció completa esmentada anteriorment només té subtítols en anglès. La sèrie completa es va estrenar en Blu-ray a Espanya l'any 2013. Encara que és originari d'Espanya, el conjunt de 10 discos no té regions i, per tant, es pot reproduir a qualsevol regió del món.

Local companies merge to create IT force
Milton Keynes company Mirus IT Solutions has strengthened its customer offering and enhanced its growth plans with the acquisition of 2r Systems Ltd.
The move is being hailed by managing director Paul Tomlinson as a fantastic "synergistic partnership", as it allows for both companies to continue the strategic alliance they have enjoyed for the past five years and to deliver joined up services in IT and managed print.
It now means Mirus will support some 20,000 users, including 2r's managed print services clients, and takes the company's turnover close to £10 million.
Paul said the key objectives now are to integrate the new team into the group and to push on towards a 2021 target of some £15 million turnover with 75 per cent coming from recurring revenue.
He said: "2r has been operating in and around the Home Counties area for nearly 30 years and has established a fantastic reputation. Between us we have around 45 years of operational experience.
"We have worked closely with them for the past five years and I'm delighted Richard and his team are set to join us because we hold the same values around delivering uncompromised customer satisfaction. This partnership was clearly the next logical step and we are excited about moving forward together as one team and on to even greater success.
"It will allow us to push on towards our next growth objective which can only benefit our customers, the local economy and potential job creation."
Richard Finch of 2R Systems, said: "I genuinely believe that joining Mirus is a positive move for both us here at 2r Systems and of course our clients. Mirus is a recognised and trusted name in the Milton Keynes business community and one we have forged a great relationship with – we all look forward to integrating with the Mirus team."

Mortgage Lifter – "The Legend of Radiator Charlie"
85 days to maturity
This fantastic heirloom tomato was developed in the early 1930s by an amateur gardener named Marshall Cletis Byles, better known as "Radiator Charlie." Byles was an auto mechanic by trade and owned a small garage located at the foot of an imposing mountain in the town of Logan, West Virginia. The mountain was so steep that local truckers were constantly overheating as they crossed from one side to the other. But if the mountain was hell for the truckers, it was a godsend for Byles who earned a steady stream of radiator repair jobs and a jaunty nickname to boot.
Radiator Charlie with his famous tomatoesRadiator Charlie with his famous tomatoes
But a steep mountain pass could not slow the Great Depression that was roaring through the country. Hit hard by the economic downturn, Byles began to look for other ways to make ends meet. Despite having no formal training in cross-pollination, Charlie set out to produce the biggest tomatoes West Virginia had ever seen. He planted four of the largest tomato varieties he could find and began painstakingly hand pollinating them. Finally, after 6 years of trial and error, Charlie knew he had something special.
In the early 1940s, he began selling his tomato plants for $1 apiece, almost $17 in today's money. Despite the hefty price tag, Radiator Charlie's tomatoes were a huge hit. Some people drove hundreds of miles braving the treacherous mountain pass for a chance to get Charlie's tomatoes. After 6 years of selling his tomatoes, Charlie was able to pay off his $6,000 house mortgage. And just like that, the "Mortgage Lifter" was born.
Mortgage Lifters haven't changed at all since Charlie's day. They still produce big, tasty beefsteaks that average up to a pound in weight. In our 2016 Tomato and Pepper Trials, we found Mortgage Lifters to be the earliest and most productive heirloom tomatoes. Their rich, sweet taste is perfect for slicing, salads, sauces and canning.

Stony Brook couple raises awareness of rare disease
Village Times Herald
by Rita J. Egan - August 4, 2017
Local family goes from organizing basket raffles to hosting international symposium

By Rita J. Egan
When their son Matthew, now 17, was diagnosed with Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 1 11 years ago, Sherri and Dave Seyfert's world was turned upside down.
The diagnosis led the Stony Brook couple to join the cause to find a cure for the rare autoimmune disease that affects 1 in 2 million people in the United States, and the results of their efforts culminated recently with the Second International Symposium on APS Type 1 at Stony Brook University July 13 through 15, an event they organized and hosted.
"Each time we have a hospitalization or emergency room visit or are in ICU, for the most part we learn something that will keep us out of there for that particular thing next time."
—Dave Seyfert
The Seyferts with Todd and Heather Talarico of New Jersey founded the APS Type 1 Foundation with the main goal of making physicians more aware of the rare disorder. In the last decade, the families have raised $500,000 for research through fundraising events, which includes basket raffles organized by the Seyferts at the Setauket firehouse on Main Street.
The Seyferts said the basket raffles were always popular thanks to the support of local businesses and residents, and their fundraising success led to the hosting of the July symposium that gave researchers an opportunity to share information. It also provided patients and their loved ones a chance to find a much-needed support system.
Attendees traveled from all over the country as well as Ireland and South America to share their experiences. The couple said life after a diagnosis can sometimes be lonely for families.
"The symposium gave [families] the opportunity to share, to be able to provide each other with support and also listen to the researchers giving them hope that there's a lot of research going on out there," Sherri Seyfert said.
The Seyferts said "there are a lot of moving pieces" when it comes to APS Type 1, because the body has trouble metabolizing Vitamin D, which helps in the process of providing calcium to bones and muscles, including the heart.. A patient can experience various symptoms including cramping, bone mass problems and an irregular heart rhythm. However, a triad of disorders identifies the disease: adrenal insufficiency (Addison's), hypoparathyroidism, and Candidiasis.

"So everybody is actually a little bit different as far as what conditions they have, even though they'll share three things," Dave Seyfert said.
He said the disease overall is manageable, even though patients can develop something new every decade of their life.
"Each time we have a hospitalization or emergency room visit or are in ICU, for the most part we learn something that will keep us out of there for that particular thing next time," the father said.
He said the couple chose the university to recognize the contributions of Stony Brook Children's Hospital to the community and their quick diagnosis of Matthew when he was six years old. At the time he was experiencing excessive fatigue and suffered a seizure in kindergarten. His father said it took 48 hours for the team at Stony Brook to diagnosis his son. It can sometimes take years to identify the disease in a patient.
The couple said the symposium included a section for children and teenagers to interact separately from adults. Matthew attended the event and assisted in escorting guests and served as a microphone runner during the Q&A.
Dr. Andrew Lane, professor of clinical pediatrics in the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology at Stony Brook Medicine, and Dr. Mark Anderson, director of University of California, San Francisco's Medical Scientist Training Program, were among the speakers at the symposium.
"I think that [the Seyferts] are just a fantastic example of encouraging people to believe that for whatever medical condition or other condition in the world they are interested in fixing, even small things can make a difference."
"I thought it was really uplifting," Lane said. "It was really great to see all the families supporting each other. It was also great for the physicians and scientists in the audience to interact, and informally and formally hear each other's work and help recognize what areas need further work."
Anderson, who met the Seyferts at the first symposium in Toronto, Canada in 2015, said there is hope for those diagnosed with APS Type 1. He said with stem cell transplants, the thymus, a gland that sits in front of the heart and plays a part in APS Type 1, may possibly be reprogrammed.
"That's the type of thing that families want to know that someone is working on the problem," Anderson said.
Lane, who was part of the team that diagnosed Matthew, said the symposium was the perfect opportunity for families to raise concerns directly to internationally recognized researchers in the field, and he is amazed that the family went from organizing basket raffles to hosting a symposium.
"I think that [the Seyferts] are just a fantastic example of encouraging people to believe that for whatever medical condition or other condition in the world they are interested in fixing, even small things can make a difference and sometimes turn into really big things," Lane said.
Matthew was too shy to comment on the event, according to his mother, but she said the whole family was left with hope after the three-day symposium.
"People were thanking me, and my response always was it's an honor to be able do this for everyone," his mother said.

Experience the Horror of Apocalypse Now On IMAX Screens this August
Francis Ford Coppola already revealed his plans to re-release his Vietnam War masterpiece Apocalypse Now on theaters on August 15 and 18, with the iconic film set to play on select IMAX screens as well. Which means fans of the classic film can enjoy the 4K transfer on the largest screens for a limited time.
RELATED: The Batman Taps Oscar-Nominated Cinematographer Greig Fraser
"In truth, I've always wanted Apocalypse Now to be exhibited in the grandest format of cinema conceivable," Coppola said. "And now audiences will have a chance to experience 'Final Cut' in the most immersive format in existence."
One of the most acclaimed films of all time, Apocalypse Nowhas seen two previous releases. The original film screened in Cannes on May 10, 1979 before hitting theaters on August 15 of the same year. It was a box office hit upon initial release, accumulating $150 million worldwide. And while critics were mixed, the film still received eight Academy Award nominations, winning two for Best Sound and Best Cinematography. To this day, Apocalypse Now and its many masterful sequences such as "Ride of the Valkyries" are still paid homage to in motion pictures.
RELATED: The Old Man: Jeff Bridges Making TV Series Debut in FX CIA Drama
In 2001, Coppola released a 202-minute extended cut titled Apocalypse Now Redux in theaters and on DVD. This new version, simply titled Apocalypse Now Final Cut, is shorter than Redux, but longer than the original cut of the film

Love, the L Train, and What I Wore: One Direction to Dating Hell
Ever since we hired Nora as an intern (and then made her a permanent fixture here), the new-New Yorker has regaled us with her sometimes sad, sometimes unbelievable, but always hilarious "only in New York Williamsburg" dating stories. We figured you should get to hear them, too. So we've asked her to share her trials and tribulations as a single 20-something trying to bag that elusive not-too-hipstery non-asshole–and coordinate the perfect outfit to go with. Taking some inspiration from that other Nora, the legendary Ms. Ephron, we present, "Love, the L Train, and What I Wore." I met this guy last spring at a basement dive bar in NoHo. Out one night with some former coworkers, just, like, celebrating the joys of being young and free and whatever else twenty-five year old girls are supposed to spend their Saturday nights celebrating in New York, I spotted him: Blond, deep V, awful shorts, maybe cute, maybe not... too tall to tell.

I met this guy last spring at a basement dive bar in NoHo.

Who knows who was accidentally bumping into who, but there was definitely a little of that going on. I was already several PBRs deep when he approached me.
(On that note, you're probably starting to notice a theme here. Despite the fact that I'm a salaried college grad living in an apartment completely devoid of closets or a bathtub, under a highway overpass, with a roommate, my drink of choice on most nights is still "whatever's your cheapest beer." Oftentimes, that's PBR. Or, neighborhood-depending, Yuengling—which I'm still not entirely convinced isn't a fancy Japanese export brew. Oh, never mind.)
It turned out he was a fresh-off-the-theoretical-boat Australian looking for what could most G-ratedly be described as "a good time" in the Big App. Since I consider myself somewhat of an unofficial ambassador for the NYC tourism bureau--catering exclusively to single, attractive, 20-something male foreigners--I took it upon myself to do the right thing for my city's rep. First, I unsuccessfully taught him the Dougie, which naturally led to us making out. A lot. There's just something so simultaneously mortifying yet gratifying about Frenching (damn right I said "Frenching") that rogue Paul Hogan in a bar full of disapproving hipsters. Everyone should try it at least once. We went to another even sleazier spot and carried on until I somehow ended up back at my apartment (alone--excuse you!).
At some point in the night, Croc Dundee apparently came up for air and put his number in my phone because the next morning I awoke to a text from "Matt Aussie" asking me out on Monday after work. "I've got secret plans!!" he wrote, "Its [sic] going to be fun." Well then...

I've never fully understood how to dress on a first date. Like, you don't want to look too sassy, right? And if the date involves any variety of consumable, anything clingy is a no-go. Then again, modesty could be mistaken for prudishness, mild to severe body dysmorphia or worse—lack of any actual bodily shape at all. The verdict is still out. Maybe my dates are doomed from the wardrobe.
So I went for my safest bet: A sheer white sleeveless collared top with eyelet embroidery, buttoned up to the neck (most commonly and accurately referred to as my "Lana del Shirt") over a black longline bra. On top of that was my mom's itchy old cardigan (Hi! I'm down to earth), paired with high waisted black trousers (but still hip). The idea behind the Lana del Shirt is that a man can see you have viable breasts, but they're semi hidden behind a thin veil of white fabric. The breakdown: White allegedly symbolizes purity, while black lingerie means you want to have sex someday. A winning first date combo if ever there was.
Aside from this sartorial second-guessing, my biggest fears were, in this order, that one, I wouldn't recognize him at our Astor Place meeting... place, and two, I would recognize him and he'd be completely disgusting. But the fact that I did and he wasn't wasn't nearly enough to make up for the rest of the date. Our "secret plans" were in fact so secretive, even the not-so-Great and Powerful Aus wasn't sure what they were. We ended up at a 24-hour cafe where I ordered chicken fingers and a beer. The conversation was nearly as painful as the discovery that the cafe didn't serve French fries (it took him over an hour to ask what I do for work. The irony...). The entire bill came to $25--which we split--and when it came time to cheek-kiss adieu, I was outta there.
One would assume that after such a deplorable date, both parties would privately acknowledge it as a failure and carry on with their lives. But Tuesday evening, I received the date-rape-iest of pedo-propositions from Matt Aussie:
Ok, so under different circumstances, I might've replied with a marriage proposal. I should mention, this was at the height of my inexplicable and thankfully short-lived One Direction infection--and in a small way, I was relieved that not everything I'd said the previous night had fallen on deaf ears. But even in my sad singleton state, I saw through M.A. and his dirty, low-Down Under ways--and it was pretty obvi this 1D dream date wasn't actually going to involve a heartfelt discussion about how Zayn deserves more solos than he gets (I mean, he does though. It's so unfair).
I politely declined his offer in the most feigned apologetic response I could muster up, to which he replied with an even slimier sentiment: Initially, he re-invited me up to his roof so we could "talk about things"--maybe he'd assumed it was the One Direction aspect that threw me off? Then two more hours passed, during which he apparently believed he'd discovered the true way to woo a woman of my utter and undeniable status:
Chant with me now: Aussie-Aussie-Aussie! Oy-oy... vey. And one more thing--it's you're. You're welcome.

And now, a very special Valentine's Day edition of Love, the L Train, and What I Wore... The only thing worse than playing third wheel to your roommate's recently rekindled relationship on a Saturday night? Staying home alone and repainting your two-square-foot size bathroom while listening to Taylor Swift--occasionally pausing briefly to google Jake Gyllenhaal's favorite Brooklyn coffee shops as you whimper softly to yourself--after the guy you had a major middle-school-crush on texts you saying he's seeing someone else.
Love, the L Train, and What I Wore: It's PBR From This Point On
Deeeep breath. Ok. Remember that guy I mentioned last time we e-spoke? You know, the one I wept over while listening to Taylor Swift and painting my bathroom? Well, eleven weeks on, I think I'm almost-maybe ready to discuss the situation with you a bit more in-depth. I swear I won't cry. Hard.

What I Wore to Try Out for The Bachelor
The other Monday night, I was watching The Bachelorette and Google image searching my favorite Des-hubby-hopeful Brooks (so dreamy) when I came across something wonderful: The Bachelor was hosting an open call in New York! No question about it, I was going. But first, I had to find something to wear.

Support for road tax falls a bit in poll
Majority of voters say they still like $47 billion plan
By GREGORY ROBERTS, P-I REPORTER
Sep 24, 2007 |Updated Mar 22, 2011 4:16 a.m.
The more that voters learn about the $47 billion road and transit package on the November ballot, the less they like about it, a new poll suggests.
But a majority of voters contacted by the Elway Poll still favor the package, which includes expanding the Sound Transit light rail system and undertaking numerous highway- and bridge-building projects in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties.
Support for the package slipped from 57 percent of those polled in June to 54 percent in the latest phone survey, which reached 400 registered voters in the three counties Sept. 10-13. That change was within the margin of sampling error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.
Meanwhile, the proportion of voters who said they were at least "somewhat familiar" with the proposal more than doubled, to 37 percent. Among the 9 percent of voters who said they were "very familiar" with the plan, a fourth said they definitely support it, down from a third in that same category in June. The 42 percent of voters in the "very familiar" group who are either definite or likely supporters was about the same as in June.
Potentially troubling to supporters of the package is that the most-likely voters -- those who voted in all of the past four elections -- were least likely to favor the plan, according to the poll, with 49 percent indicating likely or definite approval.
Yet 63 percent of those polled believe the projects will either significantly improve the region's transportation system or represent a step in the right direction, which is slightly more than in June.
In any case, four out of five voters think that if the package fails, it will be back before them again in the future as two separate road and rail measures.
"I think that what the poll shows is what was always known: that this is going to be a close election," said Sandeep Kaushik, a spokesman for a group favoring the proposal.
The proposal has come under attack in recent weeks by opponents, Kaushik said. "Frankly, we were pretty pleased that the core support of the package seems to be intact," he said.
The $47 billion includes the estimated cost of building the projects over the next 20 years as well as managing and financing them over that period and then paying off construction loans until 2057 (as well as operating the light rail system until 2027), in inflation-adjusted dollars. The plan would be financed with new sales taxes of 6 cents per $10 and a motor vehicle tax of $80 per $10,000 of value, along with some existing taxes.
"I think people are starting to realize there's a bigger tax hit here than what they were thinking of," said Jim MacIsaac, a prominent critic of the proposal.

Video: Cash for Clunkers Destroying Perfectly Good Cars
It would be bad enough if Cash for Clunkers was only about paying $4,500 for cars worth a fraction that much. But on top of that, the program requires the destruction of perfectly fine cars.
To disable the vehicles and permanently destroy the engines dealers are putting sodium silicate--basically liquid glass--in them.
The program was so popular in its first week that it almost ran out of money. After an evening of confusion Thursday, the House hurriedly convened Friday and provided an additional $2 billion to keep it going. Senate leaders hope to bring the bill up next week. Meanwhile, the clunkers are lining up.
"We poured it into that Dodge and it killed it in eight seconds," said Brooks, pointing to another vehicle as he put down the half-gallon jug of liquid called "Clunker Bomb." The chemical is sodium silicate. In red lettering on the bottle, it reads, "Engine Grenade," and there's a skull and crossbones over the profile of a car.
Here's one car that did not go down so easy (watch the first few seconds, then skip to the end; it's long):
A perfectly good car destroyed; net loss to society a la the broken window fallacy and courtesy global warming alarmists.

I'm writing to you, as I do only twice a year, to invite your financial support for this important work.
This year is literally pivotal. That's because after a year-and-a-half of transitioning to a new production team, it's finally about to happen! We are in serious conversation with a new group of young (well, younger than me, anyway), energetic, activist-oriented people connected to radical faith communities. Watch for an announcement early next year.
But, as we approach year-end, we still need $8,000 to meet our budget, pay writers, cover rent, keep internet connected, and pay for postage. This award-winning, ad-free magazine operates on a very tight budget, with pre-owned machinery, many volunteers, and modest pay for part-time workers.
As you know, we are almost entirely reader-supported – we receive no income from advertising and receive only the occasional small publishing grant for special projects (for example, watch for the "poetics of resistance" issue coming soon, courtesy of the Manitoba Arts Council).


The original Fitbit first saw the light of day over four years ago, and boy how things have changed since then. Now it seems like everyone from old incumbents to ambitious upstarts have offered their own takes on the activity-tracking formula, so how does Fitbit's newest offering stack up to the competition?
A small, two-tone doodad that will set you back $99 and track your movement throughout the day. Most of the time, the black or burgundy Fitbit will live inside a similarly-colored silicone skin, and a sturdy metal clip mounted on the back keeps the Fitbit firmly attached to your clothing (the company recommends keeping it somewhere on your torso). When it's not clipped to your person, chances are it's bedtime and you've tucked it inside the black elastic armband to use as a silent alarm (more on that in a bit).
Before I ramble on for too much longer, know this: the Fitbit works like a treat. It ably tracks the number of steps I take, and its distance tracking seems to be more than adequate to boot — taking the One on one of my occasional runs saw distance counts that never strayed too far from the numbers the Nike+ GPS app offered up. The One is also smart enough to discern whether I'm just walking around or if I'm bounding up and down stairs, which then influences its appraisal of how many calories I've burned for the day.
The only thing that didn't impress as much as I expected it to was the One's oft-touted sleep tracking feature — I could never get the Fitbit to proffer an amount of time slept that matched up with how much sleep I thought I got. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but appears I'm not the only one with this problem, and the company should really take a closer look here.
The Fitbit experience is only as solid as its other half — the part that takes all of that activity information and turns it into a comprehensive suite of personal analytics. The process of getting all that data linked up with your Fitbit account is dead simple, too. All it takes to get started is plug the included wireless USB dongle in, pair it with the Fitbit by way of the included software, and start moving around.
Ideally that dongle will stay in one of your USB ports indefinitely, where it will connect with the Fitbit whenever they're in close proximity. I wasn't having any of that though, and took to syncing it exclusively with the companion iOS app thanks to the One's low-power Bluetooth radio — a neat feature that Android users unfortunately can't take advantage of just yet.
Fitbit veterans can feel free to gloss over this section, but once that data is uploaded, users can view their levels of activity splayed out in graph upon graph, as well as log their food intake to see if they're running a calorie deficit for the day. The Fitbit itself only collects a fraction of the data the service is able to keep tabs on, though. Truly motivated folks can throw information about their weight changes, blood pressure, mood, and even glucose levels into their Fitbit accounts.
One of the most pleasant surprises about this thing was the silent alarm, which worked like a charm. Once the appointed time rolls around, the Fitbit's tiny vibration motor begins pulsing in short spurts (protip: the vibration is strong if you insert the Fitbit with its screen facing your skin). My only beef? That it stops pulsing after about 10 spurts, only to start up again a few minutes later. Sure, it always managed to rouse me from my deep and fitful spurts of slumber, but I can't shake the feeling that a continuous vibration would do the job even better.
And then there are the touches that you'll hardly ever notice. If its screen is off and you pick it up, the Fitbit's display will come to life with an encouraging (if terse) message to help keep users motivated. They're not all that compelling — think "CLIMB IT CHRIS" and "SMOOCHES CHRIS" — but it's a testament to the sort of attention to detail that went into making the One.
Really, if there's one thing that irks me about using the Fitbit One, it's having to keep up with all the little bits that come with it. I've been an avid user of Nike's FuelBand for the past few months now, not so much because it's my ideal activity-tracking solution — I'm no fan of the whole Fuel score conceit in the first place, and it's awfully limited when it comes to functionality — but because I never really need to take it off until I want to sync it with my PC. It's a largely self-contained system, and one I never had to spend much time fretting over.
Not so with the Fitbit One. I've misplaced the sleep wristband more than once these past few days which meant no silent alarm for me, and the stubby USB charging cable displayed a similar tendency to go AWOL. Oh, and it can't actually be used to sync with the Fitbit, which strikes me as a bit of a missed opportunity. Instead, the dongle is a necessity for non-mobile syncing, as well as pushing updates to the Fitbit, so that's another thing you'll have to keep your eye on (I honestly have no idea where mine is right now).
At $99, it's not the cheapest little tracking gizmo, but it's definitely worth the premium over its little brother the Zip. I haven't spent any considerable amount of time with the Jawbone Up (see John's review for more on that thing), but my week with the Fitbit has been enough for me to stick my once-trusty Fuelband into a drawer. If you're looking for a neat (and unabashedly geeky) way to keep tabs on how active you are, the Fitbit One is a wonderful choice — as long as you don't mind keeping track of all those accessories.


On any of the food trips, PEx food club usually goes to another place for coffee and dessert if both are not available in the resto that we tried. After our dinner at Grilled Tomato, we went to Casa Xocolat, which is only a few meters away from Grilled Tomato.
Casa Xocolat is an old house converted into a cafe, or chocolate shop (for a lack of a better term). The place is mostly al fresco, though there is an indoor area also.
True to its name, Casa Xocolat offers mainly chocolate cakes and drinks, but they also serve pasta, panini and salad.
I ordered That Xocolat Cake (Php 95 per slice) to share with my partner in crime.
That Xocolat Cake has a big white X design (as seen on the picture above). It is deep dark chocolate cake for the "absolute chocoholics" (like me).
I also got Taza de Xocolat (Php 145), which is Xocolat's signature blend.
Partner in crime got one of the Cold Caprichos, Vanilla Mudslide (Php 115).
Vanilla Mudslide is an ice-blended Oreo cookies and vanilla ice cream laced with Bailey's.
One thing that surprised me was the Taza de Xocolat. I love the way it was presented, in a old looking cup with mint leaf on top. However, it was too thick that I wanted to get some pan de sal and dip it on my drink. The Vanilla Mudslide is good too, though it looks like a kiddie drink, it is not because of the Bailey's.
Overall, I like Casa Xocolat. I love the cake and the ambiance. Though I'm a chocolate addict, I should have ordered coffee instead of hot chocolate.
These treats look so yummy! :D Bf wants a thicker hot choco so we'll definitely try this soon. Ako naman, I'm eyeing on the sinful-looking cakes.


The free throw in basketball is one of the oddest inventions in sport. For most of the game, athletes race, leap, twist, and struggle against each other. But then after a foul, the game all but stops so that a solitary player can take an utterly uncreative shot. There are pauses in other sports (e.g., penalty kick in soccer, opening serves in tennis), but in those cases a feisty defender stands ready to respond.
Free throws, unlike other plays, are not a case where a player can put in extra effort in a critical situation; indeed putting in extra effort will make you miss. A free throw is about calmness and doing the same dull thing in the same dull way over and over, and some of the most dominant players in all other phases of the game (e.g., Wilt Chamberlain), never mastered the different set of skills involved in free throws.
It is no accident that the people who can drain a freakishly large number of free throws in a row are middle age or old. In mid-life, we calm down emotionally and become creatures of routine. What seemed like unbearably dull traditions when we were young becomes our contented existence as we age. Just as some of us in mid-life experience a strange sense of serenity when we get off the same bus for the 1000th time to come back to the same home from the same job, others can find a peaceful flow point where they can hit hundreds or even thousands of free throws in a row.
I played basketball a lot when I was young and I was good. At my current age, I no longer am: I am slower, clumsier, weaker, less creative in my playmaking, get sore more easily, and recover more slowly. Yet there is one thing I do better than ever. Yesterday, I fell behind my fast and energetic sons in a idiosyncratic family-created shooting game and could only come back to win by hitting 9 free throws in a row. To my sons' shock, I walked calmly up to the line and drained them all.
"How did you do that?" one of my sons asked.
"Same way I go to work every day, buddy – at this point, it's just another comfortable routine".
I took up free throws in my 40's. All I got was a sore elbow that wouldn't go away. If that happens to you, see a doctor before you decide to keep playing through it.
Old women, as well as old men, might have higher percentages in free throw success. Wouldn't surprise me. Having just turned 75, I am delighted to discover there are things I am loving about being old, with serenity being in the top five or so. What I also love is having time to try things I have been putting off way too long — writing a novel, learning to draw, thinking up new political narratives. It's quite wonderful, actually.
My sentiments exactly! And in any case, if you've gotta die, I can think of worse places than a rustic cabin in the woods in Alaska.


The algorithm gets its name from the way smaller elements "bubble" to the top of the list. Because it only uses comparisons to operate on elements, it is a comparison sort. Although the algorithm is simple, most of the other sorting algorithms are more efficient for large lists.


There's nothing more frustrating than when our long game is on top form, our chipping is the best it's ever been, but we just can't get the ball in the hole from three feet!
The key to holing from short range consistently is to be instinctive. As TG Elite Teaching Pro Adrian Fryer explains in this golf video tip, being positive and trusting your stroke and your read is what's required to get the job done from three feet and in.
