Some of Atlanta's most talented architects discuss how an artistic practice informs their architectural practice and in turn how their architectural work inspires their art making. This program is presented in collaboration with the Atlanta Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
Considered to be one of Atlanta's most influential businessmen and also recognized as one of the area's most successful small business owners, Oscar Harris has been leading Turner Associates since 1977. Soon after joining the firm, he purchased the Atlanta branch of the firm in 1977; purchasing all of Turner's operations and became one of Atlanta's leading architectural and planning firms.
The firm has been involved in the conceptualization, planning, design, and project management of the new Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Expansion and the MARTA System in Atlanta. His thesis, A Methodology for Developing Security Criteria for Transit" (Carnegie Mellon 1971) brought him to Atlanta to work on the MARTA system. Since that time Turner Associates has designed and planned numerous transit stations in Atlanta, Cleveland and Florida. The firm is also involved in numerous Transit Oriented Developments (TODs) in Atlanta. In addition to transit, Turner Associates designed the Centennial Olympic Park architecture that has become an iconic symbol for the City of Atlanta.
His ability to work with community organizations and clients to form consensus of vision through "visioning" workshops has allowed Turner Associates to become a premier expert in TODs and transit integration into communities. As Senior Trustee of the Urban Land Institute Oscar, is also contributing author for ULI's "Ten Principles for Successful Developments Around Transit."
Landesberg is an Atlanta-based public artist and architect whose projects include a large-scale installation on the exterior of the Fulton County Center for Health and Rehabilitation and "Power Wrap," an enclosure for an electrical sub-station owned by Georgia Tech and Georgia Power.

Carpenter received the national ACSA/AIAS Educator of the Year Award in 2000 and the National Young Architects Citation in 1997. He was elected as a Fellow in the AIA in 2000. He is also author of an important and well-regarded book; Learning by Building: Design and Construction in Architectural Education, Wiley, 1997. His work has been published in Southern Living, Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles, Print Magazine Atlanta Magazine and ERA April, 2006. He studied and worked for renowned architect and AIA Gold Medalist Samuel Mockbee FAIA and New York architect Norman Jaffe FAIA known for his elegant buildings that respond to the landscape. After weeks of hard studying in the summer of 2009, Bill became LEED certified. When he doesn't have his nose to the drafting table, Bill can be found hanging out with his two lovely daughters or trotting the globe in search of adventure.


This free math themed I spy printable for kids is a perfect way to work on learning the times tables!
So it turns out all those I Spy printables that I made last week were just too simple for my son with hypernumeracy.
I had to step it up a bit.
Keeping his love for math in mind, I ended up creating this free printable math themed I Spy Game pack that focus on times tables. While he certainly already knows his times tables (and has for maybe a couple years already), the added challenge of tallying them up while visually scanning for them should make it extra challenging for him.
I Spy printables like this math one are great for providing visual sensory input to kids, making them a great choice for visual sensory seekers. They also help develop a child's visual tracking ability and improve visual discrimination. This printable requires kids to visually scan through the objects and find ones that are the same.
These types of I Spy games also encourage math learning by asking kids to count how many of each object they find. However, since this one focuses on times tables, it will help the kids learn the times tables in a new and exciting way. Or maybe it's only exciting to my hypernumerate son.
This printable includes 20 pages of I Spy game sheets and answer sheets to record the number of objects found. The answer sheet has the product of the multiplication equations from the game sheets. So kids must multiply each equation first before they can count up how many there are for each product.


"Cover Story" piece on the tiny Piscataquis County town of Guilford, population 1,800, which is in School Administrative District (SAD) 4. Its schools are among the best in the state, and beginning this fall, they'll pilot a privately funded version of Gov. King's controversial laptop computer plan. High school students in Guilford routinely place near the top in MEA and SAT scores. In a statewide report of last year's MEA averages, Piscataquis Community High is 13th on a list of 118 schools, ranking just below wealthy suburban enclaves like Cumberland, Yarmouth, Falmouth and Cape Elizabeth. With details about how students have prospered under retiring SAD 4 Superintendent Norman Higgins' rigorous new curriculum.

These, obviously, are two cats. They represent our technology (rolled paper weaving) and they also represent us – GG Sisters – our love for handmade art and our even greater love for pets, especially cats. Which naturally leads to the production of cat houses and beds for cаts from recycled paper.
(750 ml each), disguising them as pet-loving-sisters. It's an original birthday gift and a good souvenir, especially for "wine snobs".
May be you have friends who collect wine. May be somewhere in the world another person has the same two bottles of wine as they do. But you can be sure that nobody in the world will ever have the same decoration for their two most precious bottles of wine, because we never make one and the same thing again.
If you want these beauties, now is the time to drop us a line.

Q: How To Make A Custom Google Map Marker A Hyperlink I'm not entirely sure if this is possible.
I'm setting up a site for rental trailers and they want the site to open with a Google map as the whole screen,  and the trailers' GPS coordinates as blips on the map.(that's still in the works, but not a problem). i have one blip right now and its just for testing at the moment. What i want to do is make the Google map blip a hyperlink that once clicked will open a frame over the map that gives information about the trailer.

Apollo Education Group, Inc. provides private education services in the United States and internationally. The company offers online and on-campus undergraduate, graduate, certificate, and non-degree educational programs and services to working learners. APOL has a PE ratio of 15. Currently there are no analysts that rate Apollo Education Group a buy, 1 analyst rates it a sell, and 6 rate it a hold.
The average volume for Apollo Education Group has been 1.8 million shares per day over the past 30 days. Apollo Education Group has a market cap of $817.0 million and is part of the services sector and diversified services industry. The stock has a beta of 1.04 and a short float of 6.6% with 7.31 days to cover. Shares are down 77.6% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Monday.
TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Apollo Education Group as a sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow, generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself and feeble growth in its earnings per share.
Net operating cash flow has decreased to $44.88 million or 48.35% when compared to the same quarter last year. Despite a decrease in cash flow of 48.35%, APOLLO EDUCATION GROUP INC is still significantly exceeding the industry average of -144.89%.
Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 75.58%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 131.03% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.

The leaves may be turning vivid yellows, oranges and reds but they aren't the only splashes of autumnal colour in my garden right now. If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen the sunflower I currently have in full bloom (mad but true) and my passion-flower seems to have been flowering for months and months with no sign of dying off just yet. I'm enjoying it while I can.
Wow, that's beautiful. The berries in the background give away the fact that we're actually in the dark depths of autumn!

Experience Inc has recently announced that their dungeon crawler RPG title, Stranger of Sword City will be released for Xbox One in March 2016. Stranger of Sword City was announced for Xbox One at TGS 2015. There was a rumor that the game might be released for PC and now, an ESRB rating backs up that rumor.
In Stranger of Sword City, players will have to survive in this land where terrifying monsters live by making their way through several dungeons filled with dangerous booby traps. You will be able to choose from several classes including Humans, Elves and Dwarves. The game will also feature different art styles that will truly enhance your gameplay experience.
Stranger of Sword City was originally released for PS Vita and Xbox 360 back in 2014. In 2013, the game's developer asked its fans to submit concepts art of various characters for the new artwork. Unlike the Japanese release of the game, the Western release will allow players to choose between the new and the original artwork. A teaser website for the Xbox One version of the game has also been made live. The complete website will launch after two weeks, on January 24, 2016.
Stranger of Sword City will be released for Xbox One on March 22, 2016 in North America and on March 24th in Japan. The game is developed by Experience Inc.

The Court of Imperial Sacrifices, also known as the Court of Sacrificial Worship, was a central government agency in several imperial Chinese and Vietnamese dynasties. It was generally in charge of conducting major state sacrificial ceremonies according to ritual regulations. In China, the office was created during the Northern Qi dynasty (550–577) and continued until the Qing dynasty (1636–1912). In Vietnam, it was created by Lê Thánh Tông in 1466, and continued until the Nguyễn dynasty.

It was one of the Nine Courts and normally under the supervision of the Ministry of Rites. Prior to the Qing dynasty it was the most prestigious of the Nine Courts.

six things about imagine! belfast
We are an independent, non-profit, registered charity (NIC 101004) with minimal administrative costs and no staff or offices.
We are not aligned with any political party or group and strictly non-partisan.
We want to encourage participation from people not normally involved in political debate and stimulate a discussion on new ideas on culture and activism.
Now in its seventh year, the festival is organising over 80 events across 30 venues throughout the city during 22-28 March 2021.
Supported by over 55 partner organisations, the diverse seven-day festival programmes an eclectic mix of talks, workshops, theatre, poetry, comedy, music, exhibitions, film and tours.
Our income is raised through ticket sales, donations and one-off grants. We would welcome your support!
Each March we organise a week-long series of events aimed at engaging people in political/cultural discussion and debate in the broadest sense. The festival seeks to cover a wide spectrum of issues including, but certainly not limited to, mainstream political debate.
The festival is a registered charity (NIC101004) organised by a team of volunteers with no staff or major administration costs. The inaugural event was held in March 2015. The majority of the events in our festival are proposed as part of a public call for proposals conducted every November. Last year we received 57 event proposals from groups and members of the public – the vast majority we were able to support. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this submission process.
We are not aligned with any political party or particular interest group. Although initially based in Belfast, we would like to extend the festival to other parts of Northern Ireland. We don't receive corporate funding: instead we are supported by our partners and individual donations – so please feel generous!
Participation in the festival is open to all and while the main debates will not be party-political, groups and individuals are encouraged to debate those 'difficult' and contentious issues that normally don't air in public discussion. We are keen to hear from people who are interested in politics / culture and we welcome suggestions for speakers and subjects no matter how controversial.
The festival is administered by Imagine! Belfast in association with various event organisers and venues. The views expressed by speakers and participants in the festival do not necessarily reflect the opinions or policy positions of Imagine! Belfast, the festival funders or associates.

Cigar Rights of America (CRA) continues its efforts to educate lawmakers on the harmful impact federal regulation could have on premium cigars. On Feb. 1, 2019, the CRA issued a letter to each of the nation's governors that addressed how states are impacted by the federal regulation of premium cigars. The letter was also distributed to the National Governors Association and the National Conference of State Legislatures.
This is not the first time the CRA has issued such a letter but with the recent midterm elections and introduction of new governors and legislatures, the CRA felt it appropriate to send a new letter addressing the issue of regulations within each state.
We know that the impact of federal regulatory measures on the companies that create jobs across your state is a matter of concern to your Administration.
Respectfully, we would like to bring to your attention a federal regulation that would adversely affect our industry in the state. We know that you are diligent in your awareness of such issues, given the implications for jobs, investment, and your state budget.
has advanced regulation of premium handmade cigars, in a manner that would substantially affect product offerings, enjoyment by adults, production, retail sales practices and revenues. This federal regulation of premium cigars would have a direct adverse impact on your state collection of the OTP (Other Tobacco Products) tax, upon which you have projected and anticipated for budget balancing measures.
Congressional Intent of the original Tobacco Control Act. We too want to keep tobacco out of the hands of America's youth, and we know that premium handmade cigars are neither sought nor used by minors, and do not carry the negative public health impact of the products Congress instructed the FDA to regulate.
The impact of these regulations for cigar pre-market approval, new user fees, graphic warning labels, and limitations on retail practices, to name a few, will negatively and substantially affect the professional community tobacconists across the state, and the adult consumers that patronize these establishments. Many of these small businesses are integral parts of the community fabric, just as the pharmacies, hardware stores, and barber shops that dot Main Street America. These tobacconists, their employees, and their patrons now find themselves threaten by these federal regulations. To reinforce this point, a recent economic analysis of the federal regulation estimates that this regulation threatens up to 25,000 jobs across the nation.
In an effort to protect these small businesses, their employees, their customers, and hence your projected OTP collections, we are working to advance legislation to exempt premium handmade cigars from federal oversight. Given the potential fiscal impact on your state, and in the name of protecting these small businesses, we would ask that you encourage your state Congressional delegation to support this legislation.
Lastly, we wanted to inform you that we are also bringing this to the attention of the National Governors Association and the National Conference of State Legislatures. Your attention to this matter is appreciated, and please do not hesitate to contact us if we can provide any additional information.
The CRA encourages cigar consumers to send this letter to their governor. For a PDF version of the letter, click here.

I was accepted into both Durham and Warwick online MBA programs. Now I have to make the decision on which one I will attend. Although Warwick is generally higher ranked, Durham is never too far behind in terms of MBA rankings and general university rankings. I also live and work in the US, so I'm not sure if employers are going to weigh them any differently.
My main concerns with Warwick is that it's a young/ \newer university. It's only about 50 years old while durham is over 180 years old. Durham is also cheaper and does not require travels to U.K. I'm also concerned about brexit affecting international rankings for U.K. universities, so even though they are both ranked well internationally, that might not be the case in 3-5 years.
In the US, do you think my job prospects would be any better with an MBA from Warwick vs durham?
I am very torn between the 2 schools. It's basically come down to price and future outlook for the universities. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Both are excellent schools, have a look at the alumni on linkedin and the electives to see if there is one which better matches your goals. I don't see Brexit having much impact on scores. Why are you looking at UK schools though, if you live and work in US would it not be better to do a US program?
I am 6 months in to Durham - any specific questions feel free to ask.
I don't understand the statement about Warwick not being too far ahead of Durham. What MBA rankings show them performing similarly?
Duncan, I think tom jones may be referring to FT ranking which places Warwick in the first place for online MBA. Durham is second in UK and fifth overall.
I'm in the very same position, contemplating whether to go with Warwick or Durham.
In such a small ranking, is first and fifth comparable? In the full-time ranking, would a school a similar distance between the top and the bottom be called comparable to the top school?
Please read what I wrote.
really? This is turning into a waste of my time... sorry I even asked the question.
Dude, I didn't say Durham was at the bottom. You are wasting your time asking me to defend point I don't and did not make.
With the advance of technology, Online MBAs are gaining popularity amongst professionals needing the flexibility of a blended or distance-learning program.

Q: ActionListener does not fire within composite component I have a specific question concerning delegation an ActionListener to a composite component (jsf).
I created a composite component to show (browse) and edit any personal user data (attribute "user").

        <co:interface>
            <co:attribute name="editAction"     required="false"  targets="edit"   method-signature="java.lang.String f()"/>
            <co:attribute name="saveAction"     required="false"  targets="save"   method-signature="java.lang.String f()"/>
            <co:attribute name="cancelAction"   required="false"  targets="cancel" method-signature="java.lang.String f()"/>
            <co:attribute name="isBrowseModus"  required="true"/>
            <co:attribute name="user"           required="true"/>
            <co:attribute name="isDeveloper"    required="true"/>
            <co:actionSource name="edit"/>
            <co:actionSource name="save"/>
            <co:actionSource name="cancel"/>
        </co:interface>
............

...........
       <c:if test="#{cc.attrs.isBrowseModus}">
         <h:commandButton id="edit" value="Edit"/>
       </c:if>
........

Actually this composite component is called by a view calling myData.xhtml:
        <ui:define name="center">

MyData Developer

Welcomne

            <h:form id="dataForm">
                <mc:UserData user="#{dataBean.user}" isDeveloper="#{dataBean.developer}" isBrowseModus="#{dataBean.browseModus}" cancelAction="#{dataBean.cancel}"
saveAction="#{dataBean.save}" editAction="#{dataBean.edit}">
                    <f:actionListener for="edit" binding="#{dataBean.editActionListener}"/>
                </mc:UserData>
            </h:form>
        </ui:define>
    </ui:composition>

Within the composite component there is a  (id = edit) and the delivered actionListener (see f:actionListener within myData) should be bound to this commandButton (id = edit). This is my understanding after reading different forum discussion and several documentations.
Unfortunately the editActionListener method isn't fire after clicking the Edit-Button and I don't know why.
Surely this editActionListener method exists within the managedBean "dataBean" (myData.java):
public void editActionListener(ActionEvent ae) {
    browseModus = false;
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().renderResponse();
}

What is my aim:
Within that composite component the user is able by clicking the "edit" button to change any user data. I prefer using the inplace tag of PRIMEFACES. After clicking the edit button all the changeable fields should be shown in blue color.
My questions:

*

*Could anybody explain me why the bounded editActionListener method
is not fired?

*Generally, is this the right way to set the
"isBrowseModus" attribute (to false after clicking the edit button)? Or is there a more convenient way to achive this result?

*I'm using primefaces and first I tried to use the p:commandButton ,
but unfortunately it does not work. While using the p:commandButton an exception ouccured after clicking the edit button. JSF could not find
the editActionListener method within my managedBean
(PropertyNotFoundException)?!?!?

Any help would be appreciate. Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bodo

A: According to the tag documentation, the <f:actionListener binding> must refer a concrete instance implementing the ActionListener interface, not a method expression.
All with all, your problem can be solved by providing a concrete implementation of the ActionListener interface via a getter which in turn invokes the desired action listener method.
private ActionListener editActionListener = new ActionListener() {
    @Override
    public void processAction(ActionEvent event) throws AbortProcessingException {
        DataBean.this.editActionListener(event);
    }
};

public ActionListener getEditActionListener() {
    return editActionListener;
}

public void editActionListener(ActionEvent event) {
    browseModus = false;
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().renderResponse();
}

This is however clumsy which indicates that you're looking for the solution in possibly the wrong direction. A simpler way is to use <cc:attribute targets="edit"> instead.
<cc:interface>
    ...
    <cc:attribute name="actionListener" targets="edit" />
</cc:interface>

which is used as
<mc:UserData ... actionListener="#{dataBean.editActionListener}" />

Metallic iron is present in the waste left when granite blocks are cut. Thus, the purpose of this study was to characterize this waste using chemical and particle size analyses. To achieve this, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy coupled with electron back-scattered diffraction were used. To find the method with the best metallic iron recovery from the waste of ornamental rock, three distinct methods were examined: magnetic separation, table concentration and cyclone processing. The first method involved three steps: (1) use of a wet high-intensity magnetic separator, where only the equipment's remaining magnetic field was present; (2) the material from the first step was then submitted to separation again, this time using a magnet for rare earth particles; and (3) this material after two separation processes was finally submitted to ferromagnetic separation. The second method used a concentration table set at various inclinations, oscillation frequencies and wash flow rates. Meanwhile, for the third method, the cyclone tests, only the water pressure was varied. After each test, a chemical analysis was performed to determine the metallic iron present in each sample. The tests revealed that magnetic separation presents the best results. Using this technique, a ferrous concentrate with 93 % metallic iron content and a granite concentrate with only 0.6 % metallic iron were obtained. On the other hand, in the table concentrator tests, the ferrous concentrate only had a metallic concentration of 13.6 %. In separation by the cyclone processing, the product barely contained metallic iron (7.2 % maximum).

Q: Python - How to set multiple attributes of an object at once? I have an object i need to set multiple attributes, in JavaScript, you can do so with the "with" statement, example:
with(anObjectPreferences){
    range = fastRange.all;
    compatibility = compatibility.fastlane;
    guides = false;
    layers = false;
    reader = false;
    thumbnails = false;
}

How can I do the same in Python? For now I'm doing this like so but it's not efficient isn't it?
anObjectPreferences.range = fastRange.all
anObjectPreferences.compatibility = compatibility.fastlane
anObjectPreferences.guides = false
anObjectPreferences.layers = false
anObjectPreferences.reader = false
anObjectPreferences.thumbnails = false


There were party games and also certificates were given out to some of the English students.
What a lovely way to end a successful year where, with its many kind supporters, the Destitution Project has been able to help so many asylum seekers and refugees in the Bolton area find valuable help and friendship.
Thank you to Alan Brown for taking the photos.


Not possible in phpbb code, without adding it as a custom field. And I doubt the mods want that pain in the arse.
It would be pretty effing awesome.
I am a she, thanks ever so. Props for this thread, by the by.
Put it in our Location?
And are there two of you or was that a mistake?
Considering they only have one postcount, they probably posted twice when their first one didn't appear.

That's not quite the point of this thread or of having pronouns on our profile.
Not to mention the number of people who would (a) rather not have it on their profile, or (b) rather not be associated with one of the traditional genders and its associated pronouns.
There's always the a) not filling in that field and b) using a sign for a non-traditional gender (I just looked them up and they exist).
I hope it's obvious that I, in no way, meant to offend.
The point of this thread is to ask the pronouns people prefer, so that we can use them when we talk about them. It is not about people's gender; that is personal information that nobody is obligated to provide. The idea is to avoid presumption of gender and insensitivity.
On topic, he/him/his. And I'd like to add that I think this thread is a good idea.
I'll take the male gender pronouns, please!
I am a girl. Female pronouns. Thank you.

It's the fault of these gendered languages >_> Reforming English isn't any closer either.
lynx wrote: I'll take the male gender pronouns, please!
Sorry if it's a lot of hassle for a very small change, but now that I've thought about it I'd like to have it on mine that I don't really like plural pronouns.
So it'd be he/him/his > she/her/hers > they/their/theirs.
Sorry for the trouble and thanks for an excellent thread!
Don't know why I haven't posted in this thread before. I prefer male pronouns.
I'm a girl. Female pronouns.
People so far have been correct in using male pronouns for me, but if you want sonething else to call me by then you can call me derp.
Alright. I'm going to have to omit your other request, I'd rather avoid listing potentially offensive choices that are not serious anyway.
Its actually my nickname in marching band.

Regulacija se može definisati kao nadzor i kontrola privatnih preduzeća od države u ime opštih interesa, u kojoj je najznačajnija zaštita od monopola. S toga, proces deregulacije predstavlja suprotnu tendenciju – smanjivanje uticaja države na aktivnosti institucija i prepuštanje (ne)državnih institucija novom regulatoru, odnosno tržištu.

Taj proces presonifikuju Ronald Regan, predsjadnik SAD (1981 - 1989) i Margaret Tačer, predsjednica vlade Velike Britanije (1979 - 1990). Otuda naziv reganizam, odnosno tačerizam.

Velika Britanija je zemlja koja je osamdesetih godina XX vijeka prihvatila ideologiju i politiku neoliberalizma, pa tako se ista situacija reflektovala i na polje medija. Prije svega, mora se naglasiti da je u Velikoj Britaniji štampa tradicionalno u privatnom vlasništvu, još od samih početaka ovog medija, tako da deregulacija zahvata elektronske medije ove zemlje.

Prethodno, potrebno je definisati neoliberalnu doktrinu koju je u medije uvela Margaret Tačer, lider Konzervativne partije. Neoliberalizam se zasniva na neprikosnovenoj vjeri u tržište, bez direktnog uticaja na javne medije. Međutim, neoliberalisti uvijek teže privatnim, komercijalizovanim medijima jer na njih mogu da utiču.

Početak deregulacije u Velikoj Britaniji

Prvi talas deregulacije desio se sredinom pedesetih godina uvođenjem privatnog kanala koji je razbio monopol BBC-a. Kada se početkom osamdesetih godina pristupilo stvaranju novog nacionalnog RTV kanala, grupacija finansijski najmoćnijih oglašivača, reklamnih agencija i investitora dobili su saveznika u Margaret Tačer. Konzervativci su podržali ideju o novom TV kanalu, utemeljenom na principima profita i konkurencije sa dva kanala BBC-a i jednim kanalom komercijalnog ITV sistema(osnovanog 1954. god). Tako je osnovan "Channel 4", kao korporacija sa nacionalnim obuhvatom pod nadzorom IBA (Independent Broadcasting Authority).

Ovde se vidi ogromna nadmoć novog kanala: imali su nacionalnu pokrivenost što je značilo ogromne prihode od oglasa i reklama. ITV je i dalje imao određena ograničenja, a najveće je bilo to što je imao regionalni domet. "Channel 4" je komercijalni kanal, ali nije u privatnom vlasništvu, što je značilo da je morao da ulaže u kvalitetne i skuplje TV programe. Takođe, obavezan je da pokriva sve interese na tlu Velike Britanije. Ovaj korak pokazao je da je deregulacija bila finansijski uspješan korak, bez obzira na ostale parametre.

Glavni deregulacioni udar došao je poslije 1990. godine i Pikokovog izvještaja koji je doveo do ključnog zaokret ka privatizaciji. To se dogodilo jer je razbijen duopol (BBC i ITV sa Kanalom 4), jer su sada ova dva medija bila obavezna da najmanje četvrtinu svojih programa kupuju od privatnih producenata, čime je oslabljena njihova vertikalna integracija i stvoren dodatni prostor za njihove konkurente – privatne operatere. Uvedena je i obavezna licitacija za privatne medijske kompanije, kojima je omogućeno da se uključe u ITV mrežu na regionalnom nivou. Država je, prodajući svoj monopol na frekvencije, zarađivala ogroman novac, ali je istovremeno primoravala TV kompanije, koje su novac uložile u dobijanje dozvola za emitovanje, da maksimalno komercijalizuju svoje programe i prilagode se ukusu što većeg broja gledalaca, kako bi privukle što više skupo plaćenih reklama. Radi toga je pokrenut Kanal 5, koji je usmjeren na omladinsku publiku i njena interesovanja – u prvom redu pop – muziku. Od polovine devedesetih privatizacija je usmjerena u pravcu koncentracije vlasništva, tako da su većinu već privatizovanih TV stanica kupili TV Karlton i TV Granada.

Nastup satelitske privatne Sky TV Ruperta Mardoka, koja je agresivnim marketingom, najprije marginalizovala konkurentsku javnu satelitsku TV BSB a zatim je i kupila, doveo je u procesu deregulacije u Velikoj Britaniji do stvaranja posljednjeg BskyB. Umjesto do tada dominantnog nacionalnog okvira, deregulacija je ovim poduhvatom dobila globalnu dimenziju.

Središnju ulogu u procesu (de)regulacije britanskih elektronskih medija ima Ofkom (Office of Communication) koji je nastao 2002. godine, da bi objedinio rad pet do tada postojećih institucija.

The 'Black Panther' Post-Credits Scene Introduces A Huge Character Into The MCU Right Before 'Infinity War'
By Maggie Stancu February 17, 2018 November 6, 2018
Leave a Comment on The 'Black Panther' Post-Credits Scene Introduces A Huge Character Into The MCU Right Before 'Infinity War'
This scene is well worth the wait, prepping us for what's to come in Infinity War.
Note: Major Spoilers For Black Panther Ahead!!!!
The long-awaited Black Panther has finally hit the big screen, and the reviews are off-the-charts. This is a superhero film that both fans and critics can finally agree on; it's simply impossible not to love this film. And if you're a Marvel junkie like myself, the only thing that you were just as excited for as the movie itself was the inevitable post-credits scene. This is the last Marvel film before the anticipated/dreaded Infinity War, after all, which will undoubtedly bring some major character deaths. This post-credits scene was bound to set something up, and wow, did it ever.
The scene begins with three young Wakandan children looking into the camera, curiously. This goes on for long enough that you question whether this is it, the entire post-credits scene. You're just starting to analyze what it could mean when the scene cuts to Shuri (T'Challa's younger sister), outside. The three children run out of the tent, playing and laughing, followed by a man. And this man is not unfamiliar to us. It's the one and only, Bucky Barnes.
Now, we all knew that Bucky was returning. Marvel decided to unleash that secret the second they included him in the Infinity War trailer. And if you'll recall, at the end of Captain America: Civil War, Bucky was taken to Wakanda and cryogenically frozen. If any nation had a chance at finding the technology that could rid Bucky of his Winter Soldier wiring for good, it's Wakanda. And it looks like Wakanda's resident tech expert, Shuri, has found a way! Not only does he look healthy, he actually looks happy. He's walking like himself, talking like himself, and almost seems peaceful!
This is exciting in and of itself, but the scene gets better. As he exits the tent, the children refer to him as White Wolf. And comic book fans will know that this is so much more than just a cool nickname (though it is that, too). In the comics, White Wolf was actually T'Challa's adoptive brother. His true name was Hunter, and his family crashed in Wakanda when he was only a child. Against the suspicion and hesitation of his people, King T'Chaka decided to raise the boy as one of his own. He is, as you may have guessed from his nickname, white.
T'Challa and Hunter's relationship was interesting, to say the least. Hunter ended up becoming a mercenary and living outside of Wakanda, but whenever his brother needed help, he would come. He was there for the people of Wakanda, because even though he was an outsider, he was also one of them.
Marvel decided against bringing Hunter himself into the cinematic universe, but White Wolf was just too good to pass up. And Bucky fits the criteria! His relationship with T'Challa is also incredibly rocky, but as we see in the Infinity War trailer, he's fighting alongside the Wakandans without hesitation! Not to mention that the post-credits scene shows Bucky and Shuri rather close. Whether Bucky will join the inevitable Black Panther sequel as White Wolf is of yet unclear, but one thing is certain. The Winter Soldier is dead. The White Wolf is born.
Black Panther Is In Theaters Now.

Mike Oldfield – Discovery (1984)
https://www.discogs.com/Mike-Oldfield-Discovery/release/96973
This was as far as I recall one of the first records by Mike Oldfield I heard, the first song I listened to by him was Moonlight Shadow. And thus Crisis would be the first lp by him I laid ears on.
Discovery (or as a local DJ used to pronounce it: Disco Very (sic)), is not my favourite lp by Oldfield, but not the worst either. Personally I guess my eternal # 1 is Ommadawn. What I think about the songs here are as follows:
To France: Obviously an attempt to make Moonlight Shadow 2, and not a bad attempt either. I love the way the lyrics weave around the melody, and Maggie Reilly's voice is sweet as ever. The guitar solos (both acoustic and electric) also works well for me.
Poison Arrows: This has been ruined for me by the Zombies re-make made a few years back. Still an ok song, I imagine it's a return to the mood Oldfield had when he made Shadow on the Wall. There is some of the same gloomy-ness. The delay/phaser effect on the drums are supercool. Even the faux werewolf howl in the end comes out not too tacky.
Crystal Gazing: Here we are in Family Man territory, again a return to earlier moods and recipies from Gordon Mikefield. This is not the most exciting song. A bit gumpetung, and too repetitive without being hypnotizing (and me likes monotony when done properly).
Tricks of the Light: Is a song I don't really like.
Discovery: Again a bit of a Shadow on the Wall feel here. I remember liking this song a lot back when the lp came out, but I was a sucker for powerballads then. Not as much now
Talk About Your Life: I love this song, easily the best song on the record, the vocals are majestic and all comes together in a higher synthesis. It still speaks to me as powerfully as it did in 1984.
Saved by a Bell: A bit of a Disney-banger here. A universe-themed grandiose epic 70's style rock-ballad. That works!! Much better than the title track. Love it!
The Lake: The final song and the only instrumental on the lp. Starts off with faux pan flutes in delay loop. Urgh, It sucks. Sorry to say, but if I was randomly shuffling through this lp I would never listen to the entire song. And then the progressive stuff comes in. Not good, I really don't like this. Gumpetungt and uninspired. Western guitar??
My final verdict is that this isn't Oldfield's finest hour, but still an ok record to put on once in a while.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band – Chance
This is one of the first lps I bought after moving to Copenhagen in 1992. My girlfriend at the time – Lisa – and I discovered that we had a mutual liking for Manfred Mann. I have to admit, that the only song I had heard from Mr. Mann was Adolescent Dream, which I had taped from the radio sometime during the 1980's. I bought this lp in a second hand record store called Accord, and was quite excited to get to hear more than the one song.
If you're familiar with Adolescent Dream – and this album as a whole – you might understand my surprise, this wasn't the weird electronic lp I had expected. But still a fair album, just different.
I haven't listened to this for a decade or more, but it still has charm.
Oh, and there are sleeve notes in abundance which I dig a lot, I remember this was the first lp I saw with such.
I have to give you the lyrics for Adolescent Dream, as they're beautiful and strange and haunting:
Adolescent Dream
You're not the great romantic
Crystal juke-box queen
You're not my old adolescent dream
You're not my spiritual gypsy
My fifty Chevy Machine
Oh no my friend
You stand above all that
You're my life
My blood
My soul
You're not the way I planned it
The way it's meant to be
Oh no, you're not my old adolescent dream

PJ Harvey – Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
I have liked PJ Harvey since To Bring You My Love. My friend Martin introduced me to her. In those days we were young and reckless students at The Royal School of Library and Information Science in Copenhagen.
We spent the days drinking beer, playing Magic: the Gathering and listening to music. We were bartenders at the weekly school bar, having themes for most of the (Elvis, Tom Waits etc.).
When Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea was released in 2000, I had graduated as a fully trained librarian, and also left that line of work completely. I still drank beer and listened to music though, so it was a given case, to buy this lp. I bought it at the legendary record store Baden Baden in Copenhagen,
I still remember very vividly the impact this lp had on me from the very first listen.
I love the part in Good Fortune, where she sings:
When we walked through
I saw my reflection
Come right off your face
I still love this lp very much.
It's also by sheer strange qiurk of fate one of the most expensive records in my collection, according to Discogs this edition sells for between €60 and €150… I ain't selling though…

I'm not impressed… The TA side is ok, but the UNKLE remix sucks.

The Cure – Standing on a Beach
I bought this lp when it was released in 1986. I didn't know much about The Cure, I bought it because it looked cool. The cover of an lp meant a lot to me. If it was cool I was more likely to get it.

For the Minor, you can take any of the courses on this list as long as you earn 9 total credits. You do not have to take one from each category, nor do you have to take all from the same category.
The course focuses on the history, use, and impact of computers, computation, communication, or information technology. That is, on how the adaptation or availability of computer and communication technologies have and are changing the human condition. The focus is on information and communication technologies, not just any technology — for example, a course addressing gender differences in use of devices like garage-door-openers would not qualify, but a course that addressed gender differences in use of smart phones might.
A significant part of the course involves using computer modeling tools, building models, using visualization software, or otherwise using computers to help collect and/or analyze data in some way that goes beyond simple statistical computations and graphing/charting. A significant part of the course must involve learning to use a software package, or generating software, that does not fall under basic computer literacy. Whether the software is highly specialized to the field or fairly generic (e.g., database software) is irrelevant; the key criterion is the extent of use of the tool or the extent of the engagement in creating computational models or learning to use the technology in the context of data collection and analysis.
The course uses information and computer technologies to collect and/or modify and/or create media artifacts as part of an artistic, creative, and/or communicative process. This must go beyond straightforward data rendering (although such a course might satisfy the "Data" category).
This list is not exhaustive, and it constantly changes. If you see a course that you think should be on this list, please contact the Informatics Advisor. Candidate courses for inclusion will be considered on an individual basis. Note that for any of the special topics type courses, only those topics listed on this page (in the right most column) will count for the INFO minor. Very few 500-level courses are listed here because they are usually for graduate students only. However, sometimes undergrads can take them with special permission.

It might not seem like it, but selling clothing, accessories, or home decor isn't always the main goal for Printful's customers. Sometimes an apparel line is just a happy, unexpected byproduct of a completely different venture. To show this side of our customer success stories, we sat down with Chad Price of Kettlebell Kings.
Kettlebell Kings started out as a way for Chad and his two college buddies to continue their long-lasting friendship. So they created Kettlebell Kings – a fitness company that sells kettlebells and helps people incorporate them in workouts.
The concept proved to be very popular, and five years later Kettlebell Kings has grown into a tight-knit community of like-minded people.
As the community expanded, the owners of Kettlebell Kings were inspired to give their customers an opportunity to buy custom-made merch and show off their Kettlebell Kings pride. But Chad and his friends quickly realized that buying stock, printing apparel products, and shipping them to customers on their own would shift their focus away from selling kettlebells.
That's when they decided to go the print-on-demand drop shipping route, and found the Printful + Bigcommerce integration to be the best fit for their needs.
Watch the video below to hear Chad's story about how Kettlebell Kings managed to keep kettlebells at the center of their attention, while creating a popular clothing line.
One of the main takeaways from Kettlebell Kings' experience is that customer loyalty and sense of belonging can become an essential part of a successful business. Building a meaningful community takes time and drive, but in the long run, it can benefit your business enormously.
According to smile.io, customers are looking for brands that speak to them on an emotional level – customers are interested not only in the products themselves, but also in the message the brand sends. When a brand inspires a community of loyal followers who contribute to the brand's image, it opens up previously unseen business possibilities.
And here comes lesson #2 – when the opportunity arises and you actually have to expand the business, it's important to know your limits and remember your core values. Kettlebell Kings quickly realized that they wouldn't be able to handle an apparel line in a way that would fit their high standards, so they turned to a reliable production partner. Now they can still dedicate their time to maintaining their kettlebell-centered community, while also offering a wide choice of merch.
If you're new in the business world and are still trying to find your customer base, you might think that at this point merch isn't for you. But don't forget that even one customer with a branded t-shirt can start a conversation that leads to more people finding out about you. That is, if your brand represents something customers are eager to talk about.
And this circles back to building a community around your brand. Define what your business is, and what message you want to send to your customers. And by focusing on what's important to you and your brand, you just might open up a whole new world of business possibilities.

The only cure for this disease is the brain fluid of the Silky Sifaka which is a lemur but the problem is this particular lemur is extinct so Artemis Fowl travels back in time to the time when he sold the lemur to a group of extinctionists.
Good cover – the cover illustrator is Bob Lea and Eoin Colfer always leaves the reader on the very edge of a chapter.

It's about this girl called Andy Walker and her big brother Bruce. Their neighbour Jerry Gordon who is the same age as them is mean to his dog Red Rover who is a red setter. They move from Mexico to aunt Alice's house. Aunt Alice is allergic to all animals so dogs can't go in the house. They find an old abandoned house nearby and they use this as a dog refuge and they look after lots of dogs there and so it became called the Hotel for Dogs.
I really like the author's use of lots of adjectives, it helps explain everything better.

How to live forever by Colin Thompson - reviewed by Isabella (This is the first volume, the second is called The second for ever).
There's this boy called Peter who lives in a museum as his grandfather is the caretaker. Peter's dad goes missing. Exploring the museum one night he follows a cat who leads him to a lady called Bathene who gives him a book who says 'don't look at it, destroy it'. The book is called 'How to live forever'. She has read it and so has her son – 'they are scary!' On the thirteenth level of the gallery at the museum they keep all the scary things. This book is full of exciting things happening, it's really interesting. It's a good storyline. The main plot is Peter's and his friend Festival's mission to destroy the book.
Just when you feel like reading something light. It is about a girl called Darrell Rivers and she is going to boarding school for the first time. She is sad to leave her friends but above all she is really excited about Mallory Towers. The book is full of midnight feasts and playing tricks on teachers. The French teacher is the best one to play tricks on. There is a girl in it who all she cares about is her looks. She has promised her mum she would brush her hair 100 times every day. She is meant to wear it up at school but she wears it out.

I fixed the part that holds the string of the lid. I almost lose the lid in the middle of the beach, and didn't want to happen again. I thought it was a pretty easy to follow 'ible.
I'm a follower of those guys for a while. They make all the stuff for fun. And all the stuff they make, they make it awesome. Of course there's some camera tricks on the video, as nobody wants to fall off a wall at 6 meters high with no harness, and the battery is not forever, when the battery starts to run out of juice, say goodbye. But, on the other hand, we got Colin Furze's channel, who proved with two microwave transformers, could walk upside down across a steel beam without cuts.
Thanks for sharing it!! I was about to buy this cabinet, to put all the kitchen dishes and so, and now I know i should buy a reinforcing piece!!!


Yes, that's quite a long list of ingredients below. But, really, every single one makes this dish delicious. The peak of delicious. Really. The over-sized meatballs could be mini-meatloaves, they're so big. And, they're so tasty. Some would call this "comfort food." To us, it's more like "vital food." No week is complete without a plate of these.
Check boxes to add ingredients to shopping list and choose an option below.
Put onions, celery, carrots, leeks, fennel, shallots, and garlic into a food processor. Pulse until everything is pretty finely chopped and mixed together.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil under medium high heat. Add thyme, rosemary, and sage. Stir constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in vegetable mixture and crushed red pepper. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes.
Pour in the wine and stir until almost evaporated, about 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat and cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, stir breadcrumbs and milk together in large bowl. Add beef and mix well.
Preheat oven to 450 F. Add cooled vegetable mixture to beef, along with eggs, Parmesan, parsley, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined. Roll mixture into large meatballs.
Place meatballs on greased baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 30 minutes.
Add meatballs to already made marinara and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add spaghetti. Cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain.
Serve meatballs and marinara atop spaghetti and with a nice crusty bread.
