The Creative Journey of AVA ELEVEN (AVA 11)
October 13, 2019 Dustin Brown	Leave a comment
Noted artist Ava Eleven manifests from her strong intuition and the emotional energy she feels all around her. She has an emotional sixth sense that is undefinable and guides her in a daily life.
Captivated colorful imagery displayed here
She is an artist who follows her gut deriving concepts while creating based on personal and observed societal experiences. Her soul shows her the way to create without the conscience mind. The passion of portraying the EMOTION to the viewer is Ava's addiction. Her acquired conceptual resources remain as an extracted personal experience.
The human body is her all time source of inspiration. This Godly creation cannot be replicated no matter how precise Artificial Intelligence attempts to mirror, yet society continues to strive to mimic human emotion, while erasing feeling. Her goal is to bring back feeling and emotion to the viewer. An attempt to preserve "feeling" again and combat the epidemic of a numb soul. It is a numb soul that personal and societal issues evolve. She will 'flip a switch' within her viewers so that they can feel again. An undeniable emotion that cannot be pushed beneath the surface. If we do not feel, we are no longer the true definition of 'human' but merely a mutated species incapable of living in the now. Her work is an attempt to pause the human emotional mutation. It is not simply a 'face value' creation, but soulful depth.
Hypnotic art work
The method to which she revives these maddening emotions is a mixed media approach. She combine all forms of artistic rendering into one work. She pulls from my plethora of experiences with the primary being the female form and fashion. She creates a photograph, setting the scene for a real life capture to the smallest detail. She has no standard art academia rules in my creations, combining digital methods with raw historical pigments/mediums. She lives to break the mold and follow her heart. Ava has been formally trained with a M.F.A from The Savannah College of Art & Design, majoring in Fashion Design with a minor in Art History. While there, she was able to train with an elite group of professors and art industry icons. She has combined a true life's experience in and outside of the art world to form Ava Eleven.
whimsical pop art style design
Q: Who Is Ava Eleven?
A: I am an extremely sensitive soul, with an empathetic core. I feel too much most of the time and use that energy and feeling to drive my creative process. I try to turn those emotions into a positive form of expression, releasing unwanted or overwhelming feelings. Trapped emotions equal a numb soul, I create to keep my soul vibrant and alive.
Q: Background and what inspired you to get into photography?
A: I am classically trained from a prestigious art school where I earned a full scholarship for both my BFA and MFA. I majored in Fashion Design with a minor in Art History but used full advantage of ALL media methods while doing my studies. I built my own brand and other successful brands as a student and intern for several major fashion company collaborations. I have a "jack of all trades" sort of approach that afforded me the means to pick up my camera again years later. It was the birth of my son that pushed me to use photography as a form of expression yet again. I felt as though my eye/vision had changed in ways I was not able to 'see' before. It was through the lens I could create quickly and effectively with the most efficient use of time.
Q: What inspires you?
A: Emotion and feeling. Even though my mantra is 'feelings are not facts', I use them as life 'guides'. I believe that without feelings, there is nothing to be inspired by. No feeling, no inspiration. No inspiration, no life. No emotion, no guidance.
Q: I notice that your work has a lot of ethereal and angelic themes? How did that develop?
A: I feel that everything happens for a reason. People and circumstances come in and out of one's life with a true intention- Self growth, life lessons, joy, pain, rationalization, pushing one to find their ultimate meaning in this life. It's those everyday people who turn into 'angels' as they help one find themselves again- Find that missing piece to one's life puzzle. My work is how I express the process I have grown through.
Q: What are your upcoming projects?
A: I am currently doing a series about a 'numb, heartless, fame driven society'. I am planning to exhibit 'NUMB' at ArtBasel 2020. I'm always looking for collaborations with individuals and brands that can truly understand and "get" what my work is all about. As of now, I will continue to let my 'gut' guide me. It has no reason to lie and is never wrong.

guy from the title screen yet? No worries, he'll be just as eager to

Zoo dedicates funds, expertise, and staff to a wide variety of conservation projects all over the globe, with a special focus on those that target wild counterparts of animals in their collection. While the reach is global, two of its greatest conservation successes have been local in nature: the California Condor Recovery Plan and the Peninsular Pronghorn Recovery Plan, both restoring populations of critically endangered animals to their native habitats. The private, non-profit Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA) has supported the Zoo in partnership with the City of Los Angeles for more than five decades and provides funding for and operates seven essential Zoo departments,
According to GLAZA President Connie Morgan, "As the Zoo celebrates 50 years of leadership in exceptional animal welfare and its role as a key player in major conservation projects that protect animal species from extinction, GLAZA's Board of Trustees builds upon five decades of major support for the Zoo and looks ahead to the next 50 by funding SCAN's Curator of Conservation position into the future."
L.A. Zoo Director John Lewis says, "The Zoo, with its decades of institutional knowledge and scientific expertise, will utilize SCAN to build solutions and connect the best people and programs, inside and outside the zoo profession, to act in a coordinated effort to address pressing and critical species survival issues. The Zoo may not be the Ark but we are shipbuilders!"
Moda 360 promises an eclectic and entertaining program representing three creative industries and presenting the ideas, inspiration, and ethics that drive the independent artist, designer and filmmaker forward in their work. Showing the best of contemporary creation, Moda 360 gives a look behind the art to show the contribution these talented exhibitors offer the commercial and cultural market.
Moda 360 will also screen fashion videos from international filmmakers, and premiere a video homage of LA fashion by Lucinda Luuvas.
CE Jordan will perform her all-too-true tales of modeling in LA and NY in "A Model Life," a journey down the runway of life. Jordan is a former model and professional storyteller who will share reflections from her modeling career in the 1970s, weaving anecdotes about the many personalities she encountered in her work: Karl Lagerfeld, Gianni Versace, Andy Warhol, Michaele Vollbracht, Bill Blass, Givenchy. She has entertained audiences throughout Los Angeles with her warmth and wit, offering a fascinating look at life during fashion's heyday. Wielding her signature combination of storytelling, music, dance, and an imaginative use of props, this versatile writer/performer will kick up her high heels in this model bash for the ageless. "A Model Life" performance is at 3 pm (seating begins at 2:45).
A screening of "Strangers in a Book," written by Pedram Navab and directed by Marc Rezvani, takes place at 4 pm (seating begins at 3:45). The film follows Sara in actress (and HPC's own) Vida G's (The Mindy Project, Mind of Mencia) dramatic debut, a hip and melancholic Iranian-American, who finds a misplaced book in a café. Intrigued by its contents, but unable to find the owner, she decides to interview the people in the notebook to decipher the identity of the mysterious man. The strangers whom she meets, considered the dregs of society, tell Sara stories about the enigmatic owner of the book, who is considered both diabolical and kind. In her relentless pursuit of the ultimate stranger, Sara is thus plunged into the horror of the unknown, where reality merges with art, and where existence itself is questioned. The film has also received 7 nominations at the prestigious Film Festival in San Diego and won Best Guerrilla Film at the popular Action on Film (AOF) Festival in Monrovia, California and the noted Finow Film and Script Festival in Eberswalde, Germany.Vida Ghaffari will introduce the film.

Filmmaker Beth B Kickstarting Film Project with Lydia Lunch
March 17, 2017 Dustin Brown	Leave a comment
bit.ly/lydialunch
March 17, 2017 – New York City artist, Beth B, has known and worked with Lydia Lunch since they were teenagers. They grew up in the late 1970s New York music/film/art scene and brought their radical visions to the underground where they broke boundaries, both shocking and enticing their audiences with their uncensored music and films.

Together, they are now embarking on a Kickstarter campaign to fund a film documentary called LYDIA LUNCH The War is Never Over.
This project will capture the voice and visualize the extraordinary, outrageous work and life of spoken word artist and singer, Lydia Lunch. The film will follow Lydia on the road back to her hometown of Rochester, New York. On tour, backstage, and in interviews, this film will reveal the radical mind, the visceral music, and the edgy, philosophical, and humorous personality of Lydia Lunch.

Lydia Lunch is an icon/poet of the New York City No Wave art scene. In 1976 at the age of sixteen, a teenage runaway, Lydia Lunch, arrived in New York City inspired by the ravings of Lester Bangs in Creem Magazine. The Velvet Underground's sarcastic wit, the glamour of the New York Dolls, and the poetic scat of Patti Smith's Piss Factory all influenced her. In 1977, she founded the hugely influential No Wave band, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks. Lydia went on to star in legendary underground films like Beth B's "Vortex" and Richard Kern's "Fingered."

Beth B is known for being one of the most recognized artists from the No Wave art scene of the 1970s. Her independent film called "Vortex" was a legend in underground film making. This was a time before the internet when films could only be screened with a 16mm projector. Beth B remains an icon of the New York City art scene.
This Kickstarter project seeks to raise $50,000 for Beth B to film Lydia on tour with her band, RETROVIRUS. Lydia will be performing her spoken word while Beth B will be interviewing pivotal people in Lydia's life: people like Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth and JG Thirwell from Fetus.

Internationally renowned health and fitness photographer Per Bernal's well attended gallery opening in West Los Angeles was the talk of the town and THE art event of the season bringing some much needed and well deserved attention to the thriving LA art scene.
"Per Bernal is a world class photographer praised for his talents in capturing the strength and excellence of the human body, thus has garnered the nickname; "The Annie Leibovitz of the Fitness World."

King County monitors the ecological health of Forbes Creek in a variety of ways, including collecting and analyzing water, sediment, and benthic invertebrate samples. Water quality samples are collected monthly near the mouth of the creek near the end of the pump access road on NE 106th Street. In the spring of 2016, the historical site, station 0456, went dry. Station 0456A was established a little further south where the flows pass through a culvert. Sampling began in 1979 and continued until 2008 when budget cutbacks forced King County to reduce the breadth of its water quality monitoring program. However, routine water quality sampling at this site resumed in February 2013. Sediment samples have been collected from Forbes Creek as part of the Streams Sediment Monitoring Program starting in 1987. King County began collecting benthic macroinvertebrate samples in Forbes Creek in 2002.
From time to time, additional studies have been conducted on Forbes Creek . Click here for more information about Special Studies.
More than three-quarters of total land use in the Forbes Creek basin is developed. The remaining land use is mostly (deciduous) forest, while agriculture is not present. Very little scrub, wetlands, and other land use (barren land) exist. The development is largely low intensity, open space, and medium intensity. Less than a quarter is a high intensity development. See Table 1 below for more details on land use.
Little is known about the existing fish population in Forbes Creek. The creek historically supported cutthroat trout and coho salmon have been introduced (Metro, 1990). From 1996 to 2015, volunteers with the Salmon Watcher Program made observations at river mile (RM) 0.2 and RM 0.9. Only one coho was observed in the creek in 2001 (King County, 2002).
State water quality standards were revised in 2003. Forbes Creek is now categorized as "Core Summer Salmonid Habitat" for aquatic life use, and "Extraordinary Contact" for recreational use. Forbes Creek is on the Washington State Department of Ecology's (Ecology) 303(d) list for violation of DO, temperature, FC bacteria, and bioassessment standards (Category 5).
A 25-year (1979 – 2007) trend analysis was conduced with baseflow data collected from Forbes Creek. This analysis showed some improvements in the water quality since 1979. Ortho-phosphorus, total nitrogen, nitrates, total suspended solids, and FC bacteria have all shown a significant decrease over this 29-year time period. However, stream temperatures and conductivity have increased, and DO concentrations have decreased significantly during this same time period.
A Water Quality Index (WQI) rating system was developed by the State Department of Ecology that evaluates several water quality parameters and gives a single rating of "high," "moderate," or "low" water quality concern. To see how Forbes Creek ratings compare with other stream sites, please visit the Water Quality Index webpage.
King County does not currently operate any gages on Forbes Creek.
Sediment samples were collected from three stations approximately a mile apart, along a three mile reach of Forbes Creek in the summer of 2005 (see map). Concentrations of bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (a chemical found in some plastics) and nickel at site 0456 were above Sediment Cleanup Objective (SCO) concentrations. Additional data were collected (acid volatile sulfide/simultaneously extracted metals ratio) at these sites to better understand the toxicity potential of metals. This information indicates metals are not likely bioavailable at 0456.
For more information about benthic macroinvertebrates and King County's Benthic Macroinvertebrate Program, please visit the King County Stream Bug Monitoring webpage. To see the benthic macroinvertebrate data for Forbes Creek, please visit the Puget Sound Stream Benthos webpage.
In WRIA 8, citizens, scientists, businesses, environmentalists, and governments are cooperating on protection and restoration projects and have developed a science-based plan to conserve salmon for future generations.

Drohobych saltworks plant (XIII‐XXI centuries) is one of the oldest factories in Europe that still works, and is located here. The largest in Galicia Synagogue (1842), Church of Exaltation of the Holy Cross (XVI century) and the branch of the museum of regional ethnography and history with preserved frescoes by Bruno Schulz and beautifully restored collection of Count Karol Lyantskoronsky from Rozdil are interesting for tourists.
Boryslav
Boryslav is a former oil capital of Galicia, which was described by Franko in his writings. It is the only city in the world that is located in the industrial oil and gas, and ozocerite field with numerous sources of mineral and medicinal waters.
Boryslav ozocerite mine is one of the world's largest one in terms of reserves and production levels. In the second half of the XIX century, Boryslav ozocerite was used for the isolation of the first transatlantic telegraph cable between Europe and the United States. Industrial development of Boryslav oil field started in the 60s of the XIX century and reached its peak in 1909 (and constituted 5% of world oil production).

On 17 December 2018, the United Kingdom and Switzerland signed an agreement aimed at avoiding any interruption in air traffic between the two countries after Brexit.
Even though Switzerland is not part of the European Union, it is highly integrated with the EU internal market, including the aviation market. On 21 June 1999, the EU and Swiss Confederation signed a bilateral agreement on air transport, which entered into force on 1 June 2002. The agreement allows all EU and Swiss airlines to operate direct flights between any airport in the EU and Switzerland. Through the agreement, Switzerland has adopted most of the European Union's aviation laws, including Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 on common rules for the operation of air services in the Community.
Once the United Kingdom will leave the European Union, European law will not apply to it and, therefore, UK airlines will no longer be considered European carriers and will not be able to freely operate continental flight routes, as currently provided by Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008. This will have an impact on flights between the United Kingdom and Switzerland.
The agreement signed by the two countries guarantees the terms of the current EU-Switzerland agreement on air services and will enter into force when the United Kingdom officially withdraws from the European Union. In case of a no deal scenario, it will apply as of 30 March 2019.


Why do conservatives want to fire government employees for not taking a pro-Israel pledge?
Best Answer: Conservatives are retarded. There aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe how stupid they are.
way to spin it pally. too bad your spin is a lie. she's not a government employee she's a contractor ie her own business.
That is a course of action that the Dems have already done.
She was not a government employee. She was working for the school district as a contractor, which means her actual employer (which may be herself the corporate entity) is subject to the law that prohibits companies from participating in the boycott Israel movement. The contract she had to sign included a promise that her > employer < (the company) would not participate in the boycott Israel movement. Companies do not have "freedom of speech".and I doubt the requirement applies to individuals, even if they are an independent contractor. That means she would have been able to participate in the boycott Israel movement as an individual. It also means this is a manufactured issue. Note that 25 US states have passed similar laws. .
i bet you still think there is all kinds of evidence of Russian collusion.

Do Millennials Have Higher Credit Scores in Urban or Rural Areas?
March 3, 2020 • 3 min read
By Beth Braverman
Millennials in Urban Areas Have Higher Credit Scores
Urban Millennials Make More Money and Have Higher Debt
But Urban Millennials Still Don't Best the Overall Average Credit Score
More Research Is Needed
Student loans and other debts continue to take their toll on millennials' finances, but this generation is also starting to show improvement in credit scores.
Millennial Americans—ages 24 to 39—have an average FICO® Score☉ of 668, according to Experian data. That score has grown 25 points since 2012 (as far back as our view of this generation goes), representing the biggest increase of any generation over that time period. But those in the most diverse generation in history obviously aren't all alike, and neither are their credit scores.
As part of our ongoing look at credit scores in the U.S., Experian analyzed millennials' credit in 10 large metro areas and compared them with millennials in non-metro areas of the state to see whether there was any connection between where millennials live and their credit score.
It turns out that millennials in urban areas have, on average, higher credit scores than their peers in more rural areas in the same state. In nearly all of the 10 states and metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) we compared, the scores of urban millennials bested the scores of millennials who didn't live in a major city.
All of the following data is specific to millennials in MSAs and non-MSA (rural) areas from the second quarter (Q2) of 2019. We looked at 10 states throughout the country and compared the data on millennials who live in the state's largest MSA against those who don't live in major metro areas. Some large MSAs, notably New York City, have been excluded from this analysis due to measuring and comparison restrictions posed by the MSA's geography.
Here's a closer look at how urban and rural millennials' credit scores, average household income and average total debt compare.
Average FICO® Score
Average total debt
Los Angeles Metropolitan*
677 $80,706 $74,834
Rural California
*Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana metro area
Dallas Metropolitan*
Rural Texas
*Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro area
Miami Metropolitan*
Rural Florida
*Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach metro area
Atlanta Metropolitan*
Rural Georgia
*Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta metro area
Phoenix Metropolitan*
Rural Arizona
Seattle Metropolitan*
702 $92,261 $116,434
Rural Washington
*Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro area
Detroit Metropolitan*
Rural Michigan
*Detroit-Warren-Livonia metro area
Denver Metropolitan*
Rural Colorado
*Denver-Aurora metro area
Baltimore Metropolitan*
Rural Maryland
*Baltimore-Towson metro area
Las Vegas Metropolitan*
Rural Nevada
*Las Vegas-Paradise metro area
The correlation between urban dwellers and higher credit scores held true in almost all cities we looked at, no matter the region of the country, the economic health of the city, or the cost of living there. Even the urban areas with some of the lowest credit scores on this list (Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach and Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta) had a higher average FICO® Score than their respective states rural areas.
In every one of the MSAs included in our analysis except Las Vegas, the average household income for millennials in cities was higher than the household income for their peers in non-urban areas. Millennials in cities also tended to have higher overall debt loans but, as their credit scores showed, seem to be managing that debt.
But Urban Millennials Still Don't Best the Overall Average Credit Score
While millennials in cities have higher credit scores than their peers in non-urban areas, their scores remain lower than the all-generation averages per state and nationally. Even with recent increases, millennials' average FICO® Score is 25 points lower than the average 703 score across the country.
While our analysis shows that millennials in urban areas do have higher credit scores, it doesn't conclusively explain the reason for the disparity. The answer may lie in the lifestyle differences between urban millennials and their rural peers, which could help to explain why the two groups use credit in different ways. Those in urban areas, for example, may be more likely to rent (rather than own their home) or not to own a car, but they also tend to earn more money and have higher overall debt loads.

Q: ERROR Thread 1: Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value? Yes I know questions like this have been asked but I have gone through all the ones I could find and still was not able to fix this issue. Maby this problem I am having will help others as well.
I am trying to make a camera app, but when i run the app it instantly fails. I have marked the spot where it fails and gives me the following warning...

Thread 1: Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

This is the code, I have marked the part of it which gets the warning:
    import UIKit
import AVFoundation

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    var captureSession = AVCaptureSession()

    var backCamera: AVCaptureDevice?
    var frontCamera: AVCaptureDevice?
    var currentCamera: AVCaptureDevice?

    var photoOutput: AVCapturePhotoOutput?

    var cameraPreviewlayer: AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer?

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        setupCaptureSession()
        setupInputOutput()
        setupPreviewLayer()
        startRunningCaptureSession()

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    }

    func setupCaptureSession() {
        captureSession.sessionPreset = AVCaptureSession.Preset.photo
    }

    func setupDevice() {
        let deviceDiscoverySession = AVCaptureDevice.DiscoverySession(deviceTypes: [AVCaptureDevice.DeviceType.builtInWideAngleCamera], mediaType: AVMediaType.video, position: AVCaptureDevice.Position.unspecified)

        let devices = deviceDiscoverySession.devices

        for device in devices {
            if device.position == AVCaptureDevice.Position.back {
                backCamera = device
            } else if device.position == AVCaptureDevice.Position.front {
                frontCamera = device
            }
        }

        currentCamera = backCamera
    }

    func setupInputOutput() {
        do {
            let captureDeviceInput = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: currentCamera!) //Here is the error-------
            captureSession.addInput(captureDeviceInput)
            photoOutput?.setPreparedPhotoSettingsArray([AVCapturePhotoSettings(format: [AVVideoCodecKey: AVVideoCodecType.jpeg])], completionHandler: nil)

        } catch {
            print(error)
        }
    }

    func setupPreviewLayer(){
        cameraPreviewlayer = AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer(session: captureSession)

        cameraPreviewlayer?.connection?.videoOrientation = AVCaptureVideoOrientation.portrait

        captureSession.startRunning()
    }

    @IBAction func CameraButton_TouchUpInside(_ sender: Any) {

        performSegue(withIdentifier: "showPhoto_Segue", sender: nil)
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

}

A: You are not calling setupDevice() anywhere in the code and even if it was, you are setting currentCamera always to backCamera which might be nil if the device does not have back camera.
Just add the setupDevice() call to your viewDidLoad():
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        setupCaptureSession()
        setupDevice()
        setupInputOutput()
        setupPreviewLayer()
        startRunningCaptureSession()
    }

A: You should call setupDevice()in override func viewDidLoad(), before you call setupInputOutput(), to assign a value to currentCamera just like this:
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    setupCaptureSession()
    setupDevice()
    setupInputOutput()
    setupPreviewLayer()
    startRunningCaptureSession()

}

The last thing you expect when you go to a resort is a murder. Well, unless you are in a mystery story, of course. Naturally, if you're in a mystery, the last thing that happens then is the relaxing you wanted when you planned your vacation. That's just what gourmet detective Henry finds when in the second Hallmark movie based on the book series, A Healthy Place to Die.
Henry Ross (Dylan Neal) is looking forward to a conference for local chefs just outside of San Francisco. He's even giving a presentation the first morning to kick things off. His assistant had to cancel at the last minute, but things work out when SFPD Maggie Price (Brooke Burns) needs a last minute vacation after being forced by the union to take some time off.
At the opening reception, Henry talks briefly to his friend Kathleen (Lisa Marie DiGiacinto). Kathleen is a local reporter, and she on the trail of something big – something she wants to talk to Henry about privately. Before the reception is over, it is clear that Kathleen has made some enemies in the weekend's attendees thanks to her reporting over the years.
Later that night, Henry sees a body floating in the mineral spa, but by the time he gets Maggie from her room and the two arrive on the scene the body is gone. A bit of evidence leads Henry to think that something has happened to Kathleen. But did he really see a dead body? What happened to Kathleen?
Let's start by talking about the elephant in this set up. This is the second movie in the Gourmet Detective franchise, yet Henry and Maggie, who just met in the first one, are going away for a weekend together? Yes, they have separate rooms, but still. I don't buy it at all. This is what happens when you do the books in random order. This movie is based on the fifth book in the series, and by that point this would make much more sense.
However, that's a minor issue for me since the movie is so much fun. While it may take us a while to find the body, Maggie is actually fairly quick to believe Henry that something is happening, which is nice, and the two once again make a fun team as they work to figure things out even before they know for sure there is a murder. There are plenty of suspects with a variety of motives, and watching them work the case is plenty of fun.
We don't get to see much of the supporting characters we met in the first movie here. Maggie's co-workers get a bit more screen time, but some of the others basically just have cameos. Still, the new characters more than make up for that.
The acting is good. Yes, it has the usual Hallmark cheese, which is a bit of acting and a bit of writing mixed together, but it works if you go into it with that mindset.
And I once again enjoyed the banter between Henry and Maggie. While not a couple (yet), they have a very fun relationship and great chemistry, and that dynamic really adds to the film.
So if you want a light, fun mystery movie, sit back and enjoy A Healthy Place to Die. It will entertain you for an hour and a half, and that's the point of a movie, right?
Want this movie on DVD? This film is part of the Gourmet Detective Movie Collection.

Reverse Proof Gold Libertads - One of the most popular Gold coins in the world, the Gold Libertads from Banco de México are considered by investors and collectors alike to be one of the most beautiful Gold coins in production today. The Reverse Proof finish accentuates the coins' already impressive design, presenting Mexico's iconic volcanoes Popocatépetl and a myriad of historic Coats of Arms in a highly-polished sculptural relief.
The Gold Libertads are made from .999 fine Gold and are known for their lovely design. The reverse depicts two key symbols reflective of Mexico's rich heritage: the Winged Victory statue and the Mexican volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl. Pictured in the forefront of the coin's reverse, the Angel of Independence is a historic monument for the Mexican people and is a symbol of Mexico City. The volcanoes Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl in the background memorialize the Mexican legend of two lovers for whom they were named.
The obverse features the National Seal of Mexico with the official name for Mexico in Spanish: "Estados Unidos Mexicanos." Outlining the contour of the frame is the reproduction of various coats of arms used throughout Mexico's history.

'The X-Files': Fighting the Future
Robert Patrick will take David Duchovny's spot on the Chris Carter sci-fi show
By Mike Flaherty
September 22, 2000 at 12:00 PM EDT
Mystery,
They appear like sentries every hundred yards or so on the dusty, winding back roads of Southern California's Ventura Farms. Pink Day-Glo signs, stapled to telephone poles and trees, bearing one word: "Patience." A five-minute drive to the end of the line reveals this to be the title of an upcoming X-Files episode, the placards showing the way to a suitably eerie wooded lakeside, where a crew is lensing a few location scenes. But they might as well be advisory signposts, their message a watchword for X's upcoming season, which holds an uncertain future for the Emmy-winning drama, its reeling network, and, most of all, a legion of leery fans.
Much like some of the less fortunate creatures who have populated its paranormal tales, The X-Files enters the 2000-01 campaign a mutant, largely due to the phasing out of beloved costar David Duchovny and the attempt to fill his sizable gumshoes with journeyman character actor Robert Patrick. Patrick will star as FBI agent John Doggett, a hard-nosed career climber charged with leading the search for Duchovny's Agent Fox Mulder (abducted by aliens in last season's finale), but who could very well come to — gasp! — replace him as the gun-toting, flashlight-waving partner to Gillian Anderson's Dana Scully.
"I hope you write some nice things about me that will help win over the fans," says Patrick, "'cause I'd kind of like to help keep the show going, you know?" That's not just Southern-fried humility coming from the Georgia native; it's an acknowledgment of the extreme skepticism the actor faces from the show's more, um, custodial supporters. "I don't expect the fans will like him right off the bat, because Scully certainly doesn't," says executive producer Frank Spotnitz. "David is a terrific actor with a huge amount of charisma, so no matter who you put in there, some segment of the audience is going to be hostile."
Mulder and Scully, Scully and Mulder — they go together like plausible and deniability. And certainly with the show's more passionate followers, Patrick runs the risk of joining Bewitched replacement Dick Sargent in the annals of TV infamy. On the other hand, it might just help make a name for him other than "that Terminator 2 guy." Despite a tragicomic arc last season as a sicko gambler on The Sopranos and a résumé boasting 55 feature films, the 41-year-old actor has yet to escape his most infamous role as a cyborgian assassin in the 1991 Arnold Schwarzenegger blockbuster. "A character like that is great because it gives you a career," says Patrick, who lives in L.A. with his wife, Barbara, their daughter, Austin, and newborn son, Samuel. "But it's also like this thing."
Ironically, Patrick's emergence on The X-Files is largely due to Duchovny feeling that very same way — about Mulder. So Patrick could be trading one straitjacket for another — not that he or his new colleagues are complaining. "There were a lot of actors who were suggested to us, but not a lot who fit the character we were writing," says X creator Chris Carter, "which was this hard-boiled cop, salt-of-the-earth Everyman, who was going to be a nonbeliever to the core."

The bigger your spreadsheet, the more you need these, which you can combine with SUM, AVERAGE, and MAX to refine your searches.
Originally, Excel was not designed to be a real database. Its early database functions were limited in quantity and in quality. And because every record in an Excel database is visible on the screen at once—which means all in memory at once—the Excel databases had to be really small: multiple fields with few records, or few fields with a lot of records; and minimal calculations.
VLOOKUP (vertical) and HLOOKUP (horizontal) were the only functions available to query a database for specific information. For example, you could query to find and extract all records that contained sales greater $1000 but less than $5000—but only on flat files (only one database matrix).
Pivot Tables were developed so users could create relational databases, which are easier to query, use less memory, and provide more accurate results. If, however, you don't have or need a relational database, but require more powerful and reliable database functions, try these for a start.
In Excel, the INDEX function returns an item from a specific position (in a list, table, database).
The MATCH function returns the position of a value (in a list, table, database). And, the INDEX-MATCH functions used together make extracting data from a table a breeze.
The syntax for the INDEX function is: INDEX(array, row_num, [column_num]). The array is the range of cells that you're working with. Row_num is, obviously, the row number in the range that contains the data you're looking for. Column_num is the column number in the range that contains the data you're looking for. The INDEX formula doesn't recognize column letters, so you must use numbers (counting from the left).
The syntax for the MATCH function is: MATCH(lookup_value, lookup_array, [match_type]). The lookup_value is the number or text you're looking for, which can be a value, a logical value, or a cell reference. The lookup_array is the range of cells you're working with. The match_type determines the MATCH function—that is, an exact match or the nearest match.
In our example, the famous Commodore James Norrington has a spreadsheet that tracks all the pirate ships in the Caribbean. Norrington's list is arranged by the ships' combat formations, which match his nautical charts of the area. When he sees a vessel advancing, he enters the Index formula into his spreadsheet, so he can identify the ship and its capacities. In this first query, Norrington wants to know the type of ship that's advancing.
1. Select a location (cell or range of cells) for your queries (that is, functions and results), then move your cursor to that cell. For example: any cell on row 18.
Note: If you want an absolute reference (which, in this case, means hard-coding the formula so when/if it's copied, the range is not altered), press F4 once after each cell reference. You could also highlight the range: Just press F4 once after you select the full range, and the complete absolute reference symbols are added.
3. Next, enter a comma to separate the arguments (that is, the separate formula pieces); then enter the row number and a comma, followed by the column number (yes, it must be a number and not the usual column letter) and the right parenthesis (or just press Enter and let Excel add the ending parenthesis for you). The complete formula looks like this: =INDEX($A$2:$I$16,15,2).
Note: The row numbering starts with the first number in the range, not the first number on the spreadsheet. For example, even though the Cavalleria pirate ship is on Excel row 16, it's actually row 15 in our formula because our range begins on A2 and goes through I16. If A2 is row 1, then A16 is row 15).
4. Note that the type of ship Norrington was looking for is a War Sloop.
Use the index function to locate specific information in your database.
Now, we can do lots more with this database table. You don't need to redefine the range every time you want to know something. To make it easy, we'll define the range one time and then name it. Then we can just put the name of the range in our formulas.
1. Go to A2 and highlight the range A2 through I16.
2. From the Formulas tab, select Define Name from the Defined Names group.
3. In the popup dialog box, enter a name for your range in the Name field box.
4. Next, enter the Scope (where the range is located), which is either the Workbook or one of the worksheets in the Workbook.
5. Enter a comment, if necessary.
6. And last, verify that the Refers To field displays the correct name and range, then click OK.
7. If you'd like to verify that your range is, indeed, saved in Excel, try this little test: Press Ctrl+G (the GoTo command). Select Ships in the GoTo dialog, then click OK, and Excel re-highlights the range A2:I16.
2. =AVERAGE(INDEX(Ships, ,8)) equals 22.27, or approximately 22.27 cannons per ship.
3. =SUM(INDEX(Ships, ,7)) equals 2350, the total number of all crew on all ships.
Why is there a comma, space, comma between Ships and the number 8, and what do these numbers mean? Ships is the Range (followed by a comma), the Row argument is blank (or a space) because Norrington wants all rows, and the 8 represents the 8th column over (which is column H, Cannons).
03 INDEX formulas using SUM and AVERAGE.
Once the range is named, Norrington can open a blank spreadsheet in this same workbook and write his queries (formulas) in column B (which show the results instead of the formulas) with a description that defines those queries in column A. (Note: Column C shows the actual formulas that are in column B).
He doesn't have to visually see his huge database of 5000 records or wait for several seconds while the formulas calculate. He can get all the information he needs from his Query Sheet. Remember, the bigger the spreadsheet, the slower it functions, especially if there are a lot of formulas.
04 Commodore James Norrington's pirate ship information / query sheet.
Now, Norrington wants to know how many pirates are on the most populated ship, and which ship is it? He uses the INDEX with MAX formula to get the highest number of pirates, but he also needs to know which ship is carrying them. So he uses the INDEX/MATCH with MAX formula to find out which ship has the most pirates on board.
Use INDEX-MATCH and MAX to retrieve specific info from your database.

Kansas wins 12th consecutive Big 12 title under Bill Self
The Jayhawks have earned at least a share of the Big 12 title for the 12th straight year.
By Matt Ellentuck@mellentuck Feb 27, 2016, 1:54pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Kansas wins 12th consecutive Big 12 title under Bill Self
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports
Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks can now call themselves Big 12 conference champions for the 12th consecutive time after a win over Texas Tech on Saturday.
In a year when the Big 12 was as competitive as ever, Self has become the first coach ever to win 12 straight regular season conference titles with the same team. UCLA won 13 straight in the 1960s and 70s, but John Wooden only coached the Bruins for nine of those seasons. Kansas' streak includes a 95-5 record at home. Three times, the Jayhawks have been forced to replace all five starters from the season before.
Kansas' streak also includes 13 five-star recruits (per 247 Sports), 19 NBA draft picks, two Final Fours and an NCAA tournament championship. There's no question the Jayhawks are now up there with the heavy hitters like Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina as one of the elite programs in the country.
Here's a snapshot of how Kansas has built their championship teams the last 12 seasons:
The last time Kansas did not win at least a share of the Big 12 regular season title was Bill Self's first at the school, when Oklahoma State claimed it. There simply hasn't been a whole lot of disappointment under Self, whose Kansas teams have won 377 of 459 games since he took over. Kansas hit No. 1 in the AP polls in five different seasons and never finished lower than No. 16.
Most impressive may be the balance his teams have shown.
He's coached a 20 points-per-game player just once (Wayne Simien) during his first season. His pair of Final Four appearances have come behind lineups with three or four players averaging double-digit points, and his championship run came without a player taking more than 11 shots per game.
Though his recruiting classes have always been good, Self's teams have rarely been assembled like powerhouses Duke and Kentucky. Kansas has had a top-five recruiting class, according to 247Sports ratings, twice under his tenure, and placed No. 12-16 four times.
On Saturday, it was sophomore Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk who did the heavy lifting, coming off the bench to score 17 points by making all five of his attempts from the three-point range. Frank Mason III added 15 points while Perry Ellis chipped in eight points to move the team to 25-4, 13-3 on the season.
