Today, we're going to feature EGGS, and, you guessed it: Teacups! Spring, with its little sister, Easter, provides some of my favorite opportunities for decorating around the house. Flowers come inside, chasing away the gloom of winter, and my tea wares switch over from darker hues to pastels. When Easter gets a little closer, my set of colored marble eggs makes an appearance wherever I need a spot of color. Since tea has become the newest guiding force in my house, teacups naturally welcomed these beauties…in ways that ensure they will make repeated appearances every year from this moment on!
This first little gem is a 20th century version of Pink Splatter Lusterware. The popularity of this type of china has survived centuries, but was still being made as late as the mid 1900s. Mine is one of the more recent creations from England: Gray's Pottery, Stoke-On-Trent. Note the contrast of the plastic grass in the white china with pink surroundings. Simple, inexpensive, and a bit retro since we all grew up with this look in our Easter baskets!
Of course, nothing says "spring" like Wedgwood Jasperware – in PINK! One of my absolute favorite teacups, no matter the season. Again, not a very old tea cup, rather, a more recent mid-century Wedgwood.
A side addiction that has developed out of my tea addiction is 18th century antiques. This one was sold to me as a "Chinese Export" piece from the late 1790s. Could be…I'm not an expert on collecting 18th century wares just yet, but I'm starting to see the difference when examining closely and holding in my hands. They say the best way to learn about antiques is from an up close and personal examination – as frequently as possible.
Another 18th century beauty, of the "Famille Rose" variety. This describes the motif choices applied to the porcelain in the form of pink dominant enamel.
This is a close-up of the beautiful, and delicate, detailing inside another 18th century tea cup, or bowl.
And now for an alternative to the green nesting material used in some of the previous pictures. Honestly, any dried herb will work here, but this little white flower provides just the right accent and cushion for the egg – or the cup/bowl – I admit, the marble eggs make me a tad nervous with delicate 18th century porcelain. Dried chamomile, or better yet, roman chamomile would compliment beautifully. Since we already make tea from chamomile, the imagery would have a lovely double meaning. I also believe that the natural look is more fitting with the 18th century tea bowls. After all, why not try something that would befit an 18th century retro look…at least retro for those from the 19th and 18th centuries! Happy Easter, my Tea Lovelies!

Hey thanks for coming to my page! It's good to be back here in the Concho Valley. I grew up near Cleveland, Ohio, but have lived in Texas for most of my life including here in San Angelo from 2014 to '17. The Cleveland in me still shines through though. I'm a fan of the Browns, Cavs and Indians. Being a Cleveland sports fan isn't easy and I sometime curse my parents for allowing me to be born in an area with such a tortured sports city. I should also say I am a Texas Aggie, so maybe that prepared me for disappointments when it comes to sports. ;) I'm also a big fan of live music and love the Texas and Red Dirt scene we have here so when I'm not on the air, you'll likely catch me at a concert whether it's here in the Concho Valley or anywhere else in Texas! I'll see you out there, I hope!

Patrick Doherty (born 18 July 1945) is a retired Sinn Féin politician, and was the abstentionist Member of Parliament for West Tyrone from 2001 to 2017. He was a member of the Northern Ireland Assembly for the Assembly constituency of the same name from June 1998 to June 2012. Doherty served as Vice President of Sinn Féin from 1988 to 2009, when Mary Lou McDonald became the party's new Vice President.
Doherty was born in Glasgow; his parents were from County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland. He moved to Donegal in 1968, shortly before the Troubles broke out across the Irish border. He was an abstentionist Sinn Féin Member of Parliament of the British parliament for West Tyrone from 2001 to 2017, as well as a member of the Northern Ireland Assembly from the 1998 elections until 2012. He has also stood for election in the Republic of Ireland, in the constituency of Donegal North-East in 1989, 1996 (a by-election) and 1997, and also in the Connacht–Ulster constituency in the EU elections in 1989 and 1994.
In May 2002, using parliamentary privilege, Ulster Unionist Party MP David Burnside named Doherty as a member of the IRA Army Council.
According to The Times Guide to the House of Commons, Pat Doherty is married with three daughters and two sons, was educated at St Joseph's College, Lochwinnoch, and is a site engineer who likes building stone walls. He is the brother of former Provisional IRA member Hugh Doherty, known for his involvement in the Balcombe Street siege.
Over a two-and-a-half-year period Doherty spent £16,000 on printer cartridges, an amount that he admitted was "probably excessive".
In 2012, to some surprise, Doherty supported funding for a loyalist flute band in Castlederg. He praised the band in the application for reaching out to "all sections of the community". The band had sought support for its funding application from a community group who then, unbeknownst to the band, reached out to Doherty. A spokesman for the band, whose website features a song commemorating deceased Ulster Volunteer Force member Brian Robinson, distanced themselves from the application, claiming the band were unaware of Doherty's support and did not want it. He added that "The band harbours nothing but contempt for Irish republicanism and its attacks on their community". Four of the band's members were killed by the IRA.

The Big Questions for 2018
Will Bulgaria achieve sustainable growth while losing human capital?
How can the Bulgarian economy be more attractive to those working abroad?
Although the Bulgarian economy has continued to register sustainable growth in recent months, businesses are faced up with a serious challenge that has a strong potential to curb future growth — a shortage of people. This lack of available human resources has been felt by a continually growing number of sectors of the economy. The huge number of Bulgarians who emigrated in the last 15 years has left a gaping hole on the labour market — a problem further exacerbated by the continually deteriorating demographic situation and non-competitive education in the country.
Without being able to hire workers and employees, companies will be forced to put their investments on hold and curb future plans for expansion and growth. Today, talent hunting plays out on a truly global scale and can put a spoke in the wheels of further economic growth.
By way of tradition, the annual meeting of businesses and the government will bring together key government officials and the owners of the largest companies in Bulgaria.
They will have an opportunity to discuss both government policies and the business strategies that can help reverse this negative trend.
The meeting will take place at the beginning of the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union — an opportune moment for Bulgaria putting forth proposals for amending Community regulations and policies in order to safeguard its interest.
When and where: January 30, Sofia Hotel Balkan
Deadline for registration: January 26
Participation fee: 360 euro incl. 20% VAT
Representatives of the media can access the event with preliminary registration only.

This morning I talked to God about the state of our union, his and mine. My faith in him is constant, but my feelings are so erratic. Often, these days, I suffer from vague feelings of guilt, confusion and despair, even though I know, deep in my soul, that all is well with Him.
I'm not sure. But I'm holding on to the verses I feel he's drawn my attention to during this strange time of ambivalence.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him (as Lord!) and he will direct your paths.
My morning's reading in the Daily Light was about Jesus suffering in the garden. He trusted his Father completely, yet, in the garden, as he was awaiting the arrival of the soldiers who would take him to his death, he told his disciples, "My soul is deeply grieved."
He cried out for mercy from God. "If it be possible, let this cup pass from me."
God didn't grant his request. He sent an angel to strengthen the Son he loved more than life, and then he let the soldiers come.
I left my quiet time and came to the computer, where I found this blog from Open Doors, an organization that ministers to people who suffer persecution for their faith in Christ. This is a quote from a Chinese man who was imprisoned for his faith. It helped shed some light on the predicament--this strange dichotomy between trust and despair.
"Angelic strengthening, superhuman forgiveness, and human incomprehension." I'm not suffering as this dear brother suffered, but his description of the feelings he experienced help me understand that joy and human incomprehension can co-exist.
My feelings will still come and go, but I'm honing in on the key purpose--our purpose in our walk with him. It's just to trust. To grow in our trust. He doesn't ask us to understand. He doesn't ask us to know the right path to take. All we have to do is trust and he will arrange the rest.
I had the same trust struggle just a few weeks ago and posted about it on my blog. Great post! We really CAN trust Him even if the pieces don't fit.
Hi Ginny, Thanks for sharing your mixed feelings. I too have those times when I feel despondent and a swirl of other negative feelings - often for no specific reason. As soon as I lay these feelings before my Father and ask for His help, He sends a peace that does indeed pass understanding. You spoke of trust. When I questioned God one time, saying, "I just don't understand prayer, Lord!" He answered me plainly (in my heart), saying, "I don't require you to understand, I only require you to obey me - and trust."
So right, Sandra. That's what I've been learning from Proverbs. I'm having to let go of my own understanding.

The workmanship provided by Concord Homes not only gets you the living space you desire (both in specifications and room), but it also increases your home's value and decreases your energy bills.

Week 12 College Football Betting Preview
Iowa vs. Minnesota Prediction: Pivotal Big Ten West Showdown Set for Minneapolis
Hawkeyes and Golden Gophers book looking for a win to improve their chances of winning the division.
Kevin McGuire
The race for the Big Ten West crown took a wild turn in Week 11, and now Iowa is looking to take the inside track with just two weeks left to go. To do that, the Hawkeyes (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) will have to find a way to scratch together a win on the road against the Minnesota Golden Gophers (7-3, 4-3), who would love to create their own path to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship Game.
Related: College Football Predictions for Every Game in Week 12
Here's what you need to know about this weekend's critical Big Ten West matchup.
Iowa at Minnesota
Kickoff: Saturday, Nov. 19 at 4 p.m. ET
TV: FOX
Live Stream: fuboTV (Start your free trial)
Spread: Minnesota -2.5
Tickets: As low as $59 on SITickets.com*
When Iowa Has the Ball
Brace yourselves because Iowa's offense is anything but beauty in motion. There is not a whole lot to like about the way the Hawkeyes operate their offense, which averages just 17.9 points per game this season along with a jarring 251.1 yards per game.
The running game does have a potential breakout star in the making with freshman running back Kaleb Johnson following in the mold of a typical Iowa running back. Two weeks ago, Johnson rushed for 200 yards in a big win over Purdue, but he was limited to 57 yards last week against Wisconsin.
Spencer Petras remains the quarterback for better or worse. He has gone nearly a month without throwing an interception, which has been good, but he isn't a candidate to light up Minnesota's pass defense.
The Golden Gophers rank fourth against the pass in the Big Ten this season. Minnesota has allowed just eight touchdown passes and has intercepted 12. Expect that trend to continue in Minnesota's favor this weekend.
When Minnesota Has the Ball
Like Iowa, much of the success of the Gophers is dictated by what happens with the running game. And Minnesota has one of the top running backs in the conference with Mohamed Ibrahim. Ibrahim is coming off a big week with 178 rushing yards and three touchdowns in a rout of Northwestern, and he is still in the running to be the Big Ten's leading rusher by the end of the season. However, gobbling up a ton of rushing yards against Iowa is not easy to do.
The Hawkeyes thrive on defense, and this unit has bailed Iowa out of a handful of games already this season, including last week against Wisconsin. Iowa has also allowed just three rushing touchdowns, the fewest by a Big Ten team this season.
Minnesota may be without quarterback Tanner Morgan once again as well. That would mean freshman Athan Kaliakmanis would likely run the offense. Kaliakmanis has been used more in recent weeks as Morgan worked through a concussion issue. Kaliakmanis would be up against the stiffest pass defense he has faced yet, although he did throw for 175 yards against Penn State a few weeks ago.
Final Analysis
Experts are expecting quite a low-scoring contest between Iowa and Minnesota, and that seems to make perfect sense. With that being the case, which offense do you trust more to get a key score? It has to be Minnesota, even if the Gophers have to rely on a backup freshman quarterback. Go with the home team here to win a tight one because Iowa's defense will refuse to allow this game to be too one-sided.

Q: Ubuntu 16.04 keyboard buttons v and 7 randomly stop working I will try to explain the problem to the best of my abilities.
Some time after PC boot the v key and the 7 (not Num Pad) stop working. But they don't stop working completely, they work when using Shift+v and Shift+7 and I can type small v if I turn on CapsLock and press Shift+v.
When using the terminal (or text editor) the cursor blinks when these buttons are pressed, but nothing is written to the screen.
I would say that the problem is software related, like something is blocking v and 7 keys when pressed just by themselves.
To confirm this I tried using a virtual keyboard, then tried a different physical keyboard, changed USB ports and the behavior was always the same.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be or has had a similar problem?

The number of trade shows and conferences seem to grow by the year, as professionals realize the many benefits of coming together to promote their brand and network. As displays and presentations have become more elaborate, however, many businesses are finding that they need assistance to have the best setup possible once they arrive at a location.
Companies that specialize in IT relocations have found their skillset is ideal for helping businesses with their conference and trade show needs. Whether it's computer or projection equipment or displays, IT movers can pick up the necessary items and transport them to a conference center or trade show. This can include picking up items from a business's office space and driving it across the country to be set up at a specified location by a certain time and date.
When a business chooses an IT relocation specialist for its conference needs, that business can offload a significant portion of its concerns to a third-party company with expertise in that area. Instead of spending the weeks leading up to the event worrying that items won't make it to the final destination, professionals can concentrate on preparing for the event itself, including researching attendees and preparing their speeches and presentations.
Additionally, a third-party provider will often set items up, including installing equipment and wiring. Since IT move specialists are often also server movers and data center movers, they have experiencing in setting up and testing equipment for full functionality when users arrive. Since everything will be tested well in advance of the big event, professionals will have peace of mind when they trust their conference needs to a specialist.
Businesses often feel overwhelmed by the extreme amount of planning involved in setting up for a conference. Prior to the event, IT movers can do the legwork, learning as much as possible about the venue to avoid any last-minute surprises. As a business searches for a third-party provider to handle its conference, it should keep in mind the type of event and make sure the chosen vendor has experience with those setups. An IT moving company that primarily works with trade shows may not be familiar with the conference/seminar environment, which usually involves presenting in a podium as opposed to displaying advertising messages at a booth.
The chosen moving company should also have a track record of successful handling similar events without incident. If reviews aren't available, ask for references to determine how reliable the vendor was, both in getting the event set up and ensuring all equipment gets from one point to another and back again without damage.
IT movers can serve a variety of functions to a business, no matter what its size. Conferences, seminars, and trade shows provide a great opportunity to make a great impression on peers and potential customers. By outsourcing transport of equipment and related items to a conference site, businesses will know their presentation will be ready when they arrive, reducing the odds of embarrassing snafus the day of the event.

Asian Art Museum Presents Historic Vietnamese Art Recovered from Shipwrecks
Download a PDF of this Press Release: Lost at Sea – Art Recovered from Shipwrecks
San Francisco, September 16, 2019 — A fierce three-headed serpent and a mysterious female deity were among the nearly two dozen 12th-century stone sculptures from Central Vietnam that lay unseen at the bottom of the Arabian Sea for nearly 120 years. Almost 5,000 miles away in the South China Sea, blue-and-white ceramic bowls, plates and jars rested in the hold of a sunken ship off the coast of Vietnam for more than five centuries. Preserved like time capsules under the seas, these shipwrecks contained artworks that were excavated in the 1990s by marine archaeologists, sold at auction, purchased by individual collectors and then donated to the museum.
From Nov. 26 2019-Mar. 22, 2020, Lost at Sea: Art Recovered from Shipwrecks offers visitors a chance to go behind the scenes and trace the pathways of these objects, from Vietnam to the ocean floor to San Francisco. "We want our audiences to ask questions about how artworks enter museum collections," says Natasha Reichle, exhibition organizer and Asian Art Museum assistant curator of Southeast Asian art.
"What does the provenance of an object reveal? What can art salvaged from the sea tell us about trade and the colonial enterprise? Who is entitled to centuries-old artworks recovered from shipwrecks? Should they even be excavated, or should vessels and their contents be left in situ for future generations?"
Ceramics on display are from a trading vessel that sank in the 15th century off Vietnam's Hoi An coast with a cargo of more than 250,000 objects originally made for export. After fishermen began to find porcelain shards in their nets in the 1990s, a government-sanctioned commercial salvage operation brought up the cache, dubbed the Hoi An Hoard.
The stone sculptures, relics of the Cham culture that thrived along the coast of Central Vietnam from the 5th to the 15th century, had been carted off from a ruined temple by a French colonial officer in the 19th century. The two works in the museum collection are from a group of 21 that were on their way to France when the steamer they were on sank off the coast of Somalia in 1877. The passengers and crew were saved, but the stone sculptures, apparently too heavy to transport to shore, were left in the wreckage. They were finally retrieved in 1995.
The exhibition brings together artifacts from these two shipwrecks, including a slowly disintegrating concretion of objects from the Hoi An Hoard, along with maps and other materials that invite consideration of how artworks travel across time and cultures.
"Shipwrecks open portals to the past and offer us new ways to encounter and think about amazing art from centuries ago," says Jay Xu, director and CEO of the Asian Art Museum. "The art we find underwater showcases all sides of what our museum does best—from collecting, to contextualizing, to conserving. Lost at Sea is a uniquely layered experience that connects us to an unexpectedly broad story, a story only we can tell."
Exhibition Organization
Lost at Sea: Art Recovered from Shipwrecks is organized by the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco. Presentation is made possible with the generous support of Glenn Vinson and Claire Vinson.

This is one fire god to never cross. When he was born his flames were so strong he burned his mother, the first human woman to death. She may even have been a goddess in a sense so that makes him even more potent. Although his father decapitated him in a blind rage, the fire baby lived. He can easily get out of control just like his element and bring death to both requests and humans. Despite this he is essential as the death brought by fire makes way for new life to grow.

FPV drone pilot shoots next-level wedding video
In FPV Drones, Drone Video, United Kingdom
Let's face it, a lot of wedding videos are actually pretty dull. The bride and groom get dressed, family and friends gather, then finally comes the yes, the cutting of the cake, followed by the necessary obligatory images of the reception. However, FPV drone pilot Andy Lawrence takes a very different approach: his piloting skills make for a very refreshing wedding video. Check it out.
Admittedly, it's not a real wedding video. The drone video was commissioned by Elmore Court, a popular wedding venue in Great Britain. The mansion was built in the 13th century and opened its doors in 2013 as a wedding venue. But disaster struck in 2020: due to the corona crisis, it was not possible to get married at this beautiful location for a long time. However, Elmore Court will open its doors again on June 21. To celebrate, a video crew was hired to make a special promotional video, in the form of an FPV wedding video. The result is more than successful.
"By enlisting the support of wedding vendors, friends, family, and 30 extras as so-called wedding guests, Elmore managed to shoot the video over the course of a few hours. After several attempts, we had a version that everyone was happy with. The 150-second one-shot video uses the first-person-view (FPV) skills of veteran pilot Andy Lawrence, who normally works for Top Gear and The Grand Tour. The images take you on a journey through this picturesque rural location in South Gloucestershire. The video starts with a bird's eye view of the guests arriving. You are then taken through a series of intricate maneuvers through the main house, grounds, Gillyflower ballroom, and kitchens of the estate."
'Challenging project' for FPV drone pilot
Drone pilot Andy Lawrence looks back on this production with satisfaction: "This has to be one of the most fun and expansive projects of my career to date. The challenge of flying the drone 500 meters in and out of a 750-year-old building with walls over a meter thick in places has to be one of the most challenging projects I've ever done."

Diageo has announced the ten Single Malt Whiskies that form its annual limited-edition Special Releases for 2013. Same as last year the limited edition has a good selection of Islay whiskies. Last year saw a Caol Ila 14 year old, Lagavulin 12 year old, Lagavulin 21 year old and a Port Ellen Single Malt Whisky of 32 year old. This year the Islay selection is even more exciting than last year due to the presence of the oldest expression of Lagavulin ever released by the distilleries, a 37 years old and distilled in 1976 in a dramatically limited edition of fewer than 2,000 bottles. It is flanked by a lively 12 year old Lagavulin. The 37yr old Lagavulin is yours for £1,950, the 12yr is £80.

Canberra landlords and real estate agents are pocketing more than half of renters' bonds, either partially or in full, a figure slammed as "appalling". Renters in NSW, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria fare better according to respective state government data. According to ACT government figures in the 2015/16 financial year, only about 43 per cent of bonds were fully returned to ACT renters, with about 57 partially refunded or forfeited. Interstate that year, the number of rental bonds returned in full to tenants was about 55 per cent in NSW, about 64 per cent in Victoria, about 50 per cent in Queensland and about 50 per cent in South Australia. The following financial year, in the ACT, about 54 per cent of bonds were partially refunded or forfeited. Only about 46 per cent of bonds were returned to renters in full in 2016/17. "That is absolutely appalling," ACT Tenants Union executive officer Deb Pippen said. "It is not conceivable that more than half of tenancies are left with problems." Ms Pippen said Canberra landlords and agents were taking advantage of renters, who often gave in to unfair bond claims to make "the whole thing go away". Have you had trouble reclaiming your rental bond in Canberra? Contact finbar.omallon@fairfaxmedia.com.au. In the ACT in 2015/16, about 50 per cent of rental bonds were partially refunded, compared to about 26 per cent in Victoria, about 35 per cent in NSW, about 31 per cent in South Australia and about 32 per cent in Queensland. In the following financial year in the ACT about 48 per cent of bonds were partially refunded, compared to about 26 per cent in Victoria, about 29 per cent in South Australia and about 29 per cent in Queensland. NSW had not yet released its 2016/17 data. In both the 2015/16 and 2016/17 financial years, about three per cent of the total bonds refunded required a decision by the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal. In the 2015 / 16 financial year in NSW, about 1.6 per cent of the total rental bonds refunded required a tribunal decision, less than one per cent in Queensland, about six per cent in Victoria and about 5 per cent in South Australia. The following financial year in Queensland and Victoria, less than one per cent of total refunds and about six per cent of total refunds were the result of a tribunal decision, respectively. Even challenging in ACAT can be stacked against tenants. Feedback Ms Pippen had received from renters was they often felt pressured by ACAT mediators to compromise for a partial refund of their bond to avoid a tribunal hearing. "It's their [the tenants'] money and the landlord doesn't have any automatic right to it because they say they do," Ms Pippen said. She advised renters to not allow their landlords or agents to handle the bond claim but rather make an independent claim to ACT Rental Bonds. "They can actually download a form from the office of rental bonds ... lodge it with the office of rental bonds and lodge it without the landlord or agent's signature," Ms Pippen said. She said she often saw landlords or agents keep the bond when vacating tenants don't provide any further contacting details. The Canberra rental market is the third most expensive in Australia after Darwin and Sydney, with the median rental being $540 per week, compared to $435 nationally. According to a recent survey, one in three Australian renters have lost bond money at the end of their tenancy. The ACT government was contacted for comment. Equivalent data from Tasmania could not be obtained before deadline. Western Australia did not collect details on types of bond pay outs. The Northern Territory has no central, independent bond authority.

CCM External Colloquium - Angry Voices: "Hate," Dislike, and Loathing in Media Audiences
Please join us for our next Communication, Culture and Media Graduate Colloquium featuring Jonathan Gray, PhD, from University of Wisconsin-Madison! Refreshments will be served.
Over the last three decades, fan studies has grown into a thriving sub-field of media studies, telling us a great deal about what it means to like a text. But too little has been said, conversely, about what it means to dislike a text, allowing Pierre Bourdieu's canonical explanation — that to dislike is to be a snob — the status of The Answer.
This talk, though, will report on qualitative audience work that listened to angry voices, especially from marginalized communities, and will examine the thoughtful, impassioned commentary these voices offered on media culture and its absences and omissions. What the talk therefore considers is to be gained by approaching media audiences, texts and culture from the angles of dislike, alienation and failure rather than privileging engagement and assuming success?

The trapping of molecules in a rare gas matrix is simulated using an original method based on molecular dynamics calculations. Absorption and excited spectra are also simulated.
Isolation of atomic sodium in solid host xenon matrices: In collaboration with C. Crépin (LPPM, Orsay), J. G. McCaffrey and M. Ryan (NUI Maynooth, Ireland) a combined theoretical and experimental study is undertaken to characterise the isolation of atomic sodium in solid host xenon matrices. By molecular dynamics (MD) calculations we simulate both the deposition of sodium atom in the xenon matrix and the absorption and emission spectra. Results of deposition show that the sodium atom prefers to occupy a substitution site where only one atom of xenon was removed. Comparison between spectra obtained for different potentials shows the high sensitivity of the method to weak energy variations. MD calculations on the excited state surface allow to obtain the emission spectrum. We observed that whatever its initial site the sodium atom moves very rapidly to an interstitial site between two planes of the matrix where the emission occurs. This phenomenon should explain the only emission band observed experimentally.

Warning: Cloverfield may induce vomiting
When the Cloverfield monster devastates Manhattan, it sometimes leaves another mess closer to home: custodial staff at many theatres have been cleaning up vomit caused by the film's herky-jerky handheld camera perspective.
"I had a nauseous moment near the beginning with the way the camera flew around from side to side," said Sarah Thompson, after catching a matinee screening yesterday. "But I think you get used to it. Or at least I got used to it."
Some bloggers and critics have complained about the film's intense motion, and many theatres are advising people they may feel ill while watching. Like The Blair Witch Project and the classic Imax film North of Superior, the movie has caused people to experience simulated motion sickness.
Why it makes you sick: University of Toronto professor Bob Cheung says the cause is conflicting messages between mind and body.
"Because it was filmed from a first-person perspective, the optic flow is coming toward you, making you feel like you are moving forward, when in fact you are sitting in a chair. This sensory conflict is between what your eyes are visually telling you and what your other sensors that govern orientation are telling you. Some people are able to resolve this very quickly and some can't," says Cheung, who has studied motion sickness with U of T's department of physiology and as a research scientist for Defence Research and Development Canada. He estimates 15 to 20 per cent of people fall victim to "simulated sickness."
How to keep your lunch: Sit as far back from the screen as possible, says Cheung. "The most provocative place, I believe theoretically, is sitting right at the front and centre, because then the screen will cover your entire peripheral vision."
Try to focus as much on your central vision as possible, and even block your peripheral vision at times with your hands.
There is no medical solution that works for everybody, Cheung says. Anti-motion sickness drugs "might ameliorate the symptoms, but it doesn't deal with the cause, and besides most anti-motion sickness drugs have side effects," like drowsiness. The simplest solution of all: "You can always just close your eyes. That's the fastest thing to do."


On August 11th, The Basement Theatre and Auckland City will be awoken from its winter slumber by The Experiment: a five night urban arts carnival of music, dance, street art, multimedia experiences, performance art, theatre, interactive installations and a changing line-up each night of artists experimenting and orchestrating brilliant creative collisions - both accidental and by design.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" Director Talks Wonder Woman
The San Diego Comic Con is almost here. There will be some spoilers and teasers leaked at the many of the different junkets. Yet we are finding out more about the "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" film from none other than the film's director Zack Snyder.
Snyder said that Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman wouldn't just be a small role. He said that she is very important to the storyline. "She plays a super-important part. In a lot of ways, she's the gateway drug to the rest of the Justice League."
"Dawn of Justice" will be a small glimpse into the DC Comics Justice League movie. Snyder also talked about the issues people had with the "Man of Steel" film. Snyder said, "I was surprised because that's the thesis of Superman for me, that you can't just have superheroes knock around and have there be no consequences. There are other superhero movies where they joke about how basically no one's getting hurt. That's not us. What is that message? That's it is okay that there's this massive destruction with zero consequence for anyone? I remember talking about 'What's the next villain? 'We can't do another alien invasion.' Metallo, I think, was going to be the main bad guy of this movie. Brainiac was definitely down the road."
It looks like Snyder is really open about the future of the DC Comic films. Hopefully more news like this will be revealed in San Diego this week!

Comedian Pete Holmes new show will follow Conan on TBS
Pete Holmes is a very funny comedian and he is being rewarded for that fact as he will have a show on TBS right after the Conan O'Brien show. The show will launch in the Fall of this year. The new show will be produced by Conan O'Brien's Conaco production company. It will follow Conan's schedule with shows airing Mondays through Thursdays. If you can't wait until the Fall, well Holmes has an outstanding podcast called "You Made It Weird" on the Nerdist Podcast Network.
Pete has studied and performed at Chicago's Improv Olympic and Playground theaters, as well as Boston's Improv Asylum Theater and New York City's Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre.
He is also known for his voice of the e*trade baby. One of my personal favorites from him is his Batman parodies on the website CollegeHumor. Pete was named one of Variety's Top Ten Comics to Watch in 2011. If that is not enough Pete also draws cartoons for "The New Yorker", and has written for shows such as NBC's "Outsourced" and FOX's "I Hate My Teenage Daughter."
Last month he released his DVD "Nice Try, The Devil." In his first hour-long special on Comedy Central, Pete does a phenomenal job as he displays his signature brand of comedy. His skits on Pierce and Juan, Good Time McDonald's, Atlanta, Dropped a Dog, and Gay for Gosling are superb.
Me and my boys from the Masters of None Podcast show had the pleasure to talk to Pete. We talked about his new show, drinking wine on stage, and why his show is perfect to follow after Conan. He even helped us out with our show topic on the worst fictional dads of all time. To listen to the show click here.
Actor Kevin Conroy Talks Batman, Video Games and More.
Kevin Conroy has a distinct voice. For fans of "Batman: The Animated Series," Conroy's voice will forever be the one associated with the Dark Knight. From films to video games Kevin has been working on Batman projects since 1992. Conroy, a student of the famous Juilliard School, was in the same class as Robin Williams and learned from the best teachers imaginable. Conroy has a love for theater and appreciated the lessons he learned on the stage and uses those lessons in his voice acting roles.
I had the great pleasure to chat with Kevin about how he found the voice of Batman, Comic-Cons, video games and working with Mark Hamill. I even learned a thing or two about Batman from Kevin.
Art Eddy: I have to say ever since I watched "Batman: The Animated Series" you will forever be the voice of Batman. Take me back to when you got the role on that show back in 1992 and how you found the voice for not only Batman, but Bruce Wayne as well?
Kevin Conroy: It was one of those very, very lucky moments that just happened. I started working in New York since I was 17 and went to Juilliard and did a lot of theater and did a lot of television after that. I have been supporting myself working as an actor for a long time. I found myself in L.A. doing a TV series.
I had a voice over agent. I had been doing commercial voice overs. He said that they were doing a new show over at Warner Brothers. They were looking for animation voices. I had no background in animation. I didn't even know that much about the Batman legend. I met Bruce Timm, Andrea Romano, and Paul Dini.
I told them that the only thing that I knew about Batman is from the '70s TV show with Adam West. They said no, no, no. That is not what we are doing. (Laughs) They were very heavy in the whole Dark Knight ethos. They told me the story of the Bob Kane legend.
It became to have this dark, noir feel to it. They said think of that and I said let me just use my imagination and let me get that into that kind of head. I went in a totally different direction than what I was going in there with. I was almost expecting a Dudley Do-Right voice like very cartoony. I ended up getting into this mysterious, kind of husky, and what I considered a dark sound. I saw them get really excited in the booth. They said that they loved the instinct and the direction that I was going in.
They reacted strongly so I knew it was really right on or I was way off. That was just a lucky hand and glove kind of thing. All my theater training and the background I had made me right for interpreting that character at that moment.
AE: To me I think you and Mark Hamill, who is the voice of The Joker, have the best chemistry with the banter you guys have as Batman and The Joker not only during that series, but in the "Arkham Asylum" and "Arkham City" video games. How is it to work with him?
KC: We work so well together. There again that was just the luck of casting. He is basically a theater actor and so am I. Theater actors a bit different. They like to play the game. Acting is like throwing a ball back and forth. You have to be generous. You have to throw the scene to the other guy and wait for him to throw it back to you. It is all reaction and reaction and like a child being really able to go with the flow. To be silly sometimes and to not necessarily do what you were planning on doing and let yourself be surprised.
Mark has all of that in spades. He has great imagination. He has great vocal range and he has the imagination of a child. So when you throw him the ball he just runs with it. We both that that instinct in us. So we get into the booth together and we go crazy. We have a lot of fun.
AE: Another video game that is due out soon is "Injustice: Gods Among Us" where you do the voice for Batman. Can you tell me a little bit about the game and what is the difference between voice acting for a video game as opposed to an animated series?
KC: You have no idea what you just asked. It is so different. It is like another planet. Acting in the episodes is like doing a play. There are six or eight of you in a booth together and you are interacting and feeding each other energy. Like I said before it is like playing ball. There is a give and take. There is just a lot of energy.
When you do a game you are alone in a booth for four hours at a time. You get an hour for lunch and then another four hour session and that's a day. That happens the next day and the next day and the day after that. A month later you go back and do another couple of sessions. I have done where it can go on for eight months where every month you are going in for a few days.
The experience is completely different than doing a show because you are alone. You got to be your own source of energy. You have to keep your character alive. Keep him real. Keep to Batman, but I don't have anyone to reference it to. They want four different readings for each line. Then they will want four or five takes of each reading. It is a different kind of talent. When you see the results like with "Arkham Asylum" it is just incredible. You think wow, it was really worth it.
AE: I heard there were rumors of DC using the "Flashpoint" storyline to make an animated film. Would you be playing the role of Batman?
KC: I can't talk about upcoming stuff. I'm sorry. They are giving me a really hard time because about a year ago I let it slip about something I was doing. I thought it was the reason that they sent me to Comic-Cons was to promote the product. I said why did you send me if you didn't want me to talk about the product.
They said don't say anything until we tell you to say it. We weren't ready for that release. I said I am giving you free publicity is that why am I there? They say you are there to be Batman to get the audience happy. So all I can tell you is that there are two big things that I am working on that are coming out.
AE: I can't wait for those. Earlier you said you did not know that much about Batman before you took up the role on the animated series, do you read any Batman comics now?
KC: Oh yea! I have been doing it for 22 years. I have immersed myself in it. Did you know that Bob Kane lived in the Bronx when he wrote Batman? He came up with the idea in Poe Park. He and the other creator of the Batman series were tossing ideas and that is where they came up with the idea.
AE: You went to Juilliard. What were some of the major things you will always remember learning in the years you were there? Did they have any courses on voice acting when you attended school there?
KC: No. I shouldn't say that now because I was there a long time ago so I don't know what they do now. Back then it was a really traditional European style acting program. There was dance classes, voice classes, acting classes, fencing and a French mask class. Robin Williams was in my class with me. Robin was a genius at doing mask work. He would create these characters that were just unbelievable. Everyone was very competitive. Then you see Robin and you would think I just give up. It was just an amazing place to be.
AE: You make many appearances at different Comic-Cons around the country. How much fun do you have at the conventions and do have a favorite all time story you would care to share?
KC: I have a blast at those panels. I really do. The amazing thing is some of the stuff that you are asked to sign. Like body parts if you know what I mean. The great thing about Comic-Con is that it a real cross section of the whole culture. It's the wackos and then it's the hard core super fans and the serious, serious egghead fans. You get everyone in there. You get intellectuals and you get whack jobs. It is so interesting, especially the big ones like San Diego and New York. It is fascinating. You get a real cross section of the culture. It is really interesting.

Some key components of spiritual life at Hargrave are chapel, relational ministry, the Bible Survey course and a Christian based structure for the school.
All cadets are required to attend chapel twice per week, where Cadets sing hymns and contemporary Christian worship music, and hear a message from either the chaplain or an invited guest speaker. These chapel messages come from a foundation grounded in Christian Scripture, and they relate to the character trait of the six weeks.
As a Christian-based institution, Hargrave requires that all Cadets complete a one semester Bible course. The primary objective for this course is to demonstrate the intricacies that make up the Christian Bible, and hopefully demonstrate to the students that regardless of their faith backgrounds, the Bible can be used as an instrument to guide our lives and help us to grow into individuals of character.
Overall, being a school built on Christian principles, means that the staff strives to love and nurture the young men in a Christ-like manner. That means sacrificially serving the students under our care, building relationships with them, and caring for them regardless of where they are in faith, and encouraging them to grow into fully developed, well rounded, productive members of society.

One of one of the most prevalent electrical wiring questions is on how to wire a swap. Even though utilizing switches at home is kind of quick, wiring a single may not be that quick for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. You can find several types of switches, but for this example, let us say you might be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, a really widespread change (along with the easiest).
You will discover three shades of wires inside of a regular single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and join them around the terminal screws - just one on major along with the other within the base screw of the change. The white wire serves like a resource of uninterrupted electrical power which is ordinarily connected to your light-weight colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the inexperienced wire for the ground screw of your respective swap.
These methods would normally be sufficient to produce an average change work without having a difficulty. Nonetheless, in the event you are not self-confident that you choose to can attain the endeavor appropriately and properly you much better allow the pros do it as a substitute.

To wire the supporter, it really is only a make a difference of connecting the black wire with the ceiling fan on the black wire of the change. If there is a lightweight, the blue wire need to be related for the black wire of your switch in addition.
You will discover causes why these are typically essentially the most generally requested electrical wiring issues. A single, numerous consider it is basic to do, and two, these are generally the frequent electrical duties at home. But then you really mustn't place your basic safety in danger in your objective to save money. The stakes could even be substantially increased if you attempt to lower your expenses and do an electrical wiring position devoid of enough information or experience.

Q: How to convert Long to BigDecimal while also using a Stream I'm struggling to understand how can I make the following code work.
The field count_human_dna of my stat class is of type BigDecimal, with setting the type as Long this works, but I need to change it to BigDecimal, can somehow tell me how could I make this work for BigDecimal field?
stat.setCount_human_dna(dnaSamples.stream()
    .filter(x -> x.getType().equals("Human"))
    .collect(Collectors.counting()));

This code is counting all the dnaSamples which type belong to Human.

A: Use the BigDecimal#valueOf method for the conversion from long to BigDecimal.
stat.setCount_human_dna(BigDecimal.valueOf(dnaSamples.stream().filter(x -> x.getType().equals("Human")).collect(Collectors.counting())));

See the JavaDocs for more detail.

A: The most simple and efficient way to do is to use terminal operation count() which returns the number of elements in the stream as long and then convert into BigDecimal:
stat.setCount_human_dna(getDNACount(dnaSamples));

public static BigDecimal getDNACount(Collection<Sample> dnaSamples) {
    long humanSamples = dnaSamples.stream()
        .filter(x -> x.getType().equals("Human"))
        .count();

    return BigDecimal.valueOf(humanSamples);
}

And you can produce the result of type BigDecimal directly from the stream using reduce() a terminal operation:
stat.setCount_human_dna(getDNACount(dnaSamples));

public static BigDecimal getDNACount(Collection<Sample> dnaSamples) {
    return dnaSamples.stream()
        .filter(x -> x.getType().equals("Human"))
        .reduce(BigDecimal.ZERO,
                (total, next) -> total.add(BigDecimal.ONE),
                BigDecimal::add);
}

Sidenote: I'm not an expert in such questions as DNA analysis, but the result of this reduction will always be a whole number. You might consider utilizing BigInteger instead of BigDecimal.
