PNG TOURISM MASTER PLAN IN PROGRESS
PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (PNG Post-Courier, July 3) – Tourism is becoming serious business in Papua New Guinea and a master plan to guide the industry to returning profitable results [is being working on].
More than 50 stakeholders representing the PNG Tourism Industry Association, Dive Industry Association, Chamber of Commerce, airlines, non government organisations, donors, provincial tourism bureaus and key government departments as well as individual operators took part in a strategic planning workshop recently to discuss the tourism master plan, a roadmap for tourism development in the country over the next 10 years.
The draft of the Master plan will be available in August and is sure to be completed this October.
Some 400 participants in the tourism sector took the opportunity to discuss the proposed vision of the master plan and the proposed strategies in the key areas of transport and infrastructure, human resource development, marketing,...
PNG LOOKS TO REAP $196 MILLION FROM MINES
PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (PNG Post Courier, July 1) – Papua New Guinea is set to cash in on a massive PGK1 billion [US$351 million] from mining sector revenues as world mineral prices remain high and smelters seek concentrates.
Mining Minister Sam Akoitai said yesterday the country was positioned to reap another massive payout from Ok Tedi Mining Limited, which paid PGK279 million [US$98 million] to the national coffers from last year's K1 billion profit.
Mr Akoitai said the revenue from the copper and gold miner to the State for this year is expected to increase by 100 per cent according to briefs that he had been given. This means the State is set to receive PGK558 million [US$196 million] after Ok Tedi Mining Limited declares its profit this time next year.
"The world mineral prices have been very good to the country," Mr Akoitai said. "At the moment the smelters are also looking for concentrate and they are offering lower prices for concentrate from...
CNMI COLLEGE FACES $2 MILLION BUDGET CUT
SAIPAN, CNMI (Marianas Variety, July 3) – For fiscal year 2007, which will start on Oct. 1, Gov. Benigno R. Fitial is recommending an appropriation of $6.1 million for Northern Marianas College, which currently gets $8.04 million.
NMC's budget request was $9.2 million, according to its chief financial and administrative officer Raaj Karupati.
The Office of the Management and Budget has informed the college of the governor's proposed appropriation which is still to be reviewed and approved by the Legislature.
"We will try to operate within this figure ($6.1 million)," Karupati said.
NMC has two funding sources — the central government's general appropriation fund and Public Law 10-66 or the Non-Resident Workers Act.
Karupati said they requested $7.5 million from the general fund and $1.6 million from P.L. 10-66.
"We will work with the board of regents and the (college) president to come up with a plan on how to live within that level ($6.1...
QARASE DEFENDS FIJI AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAM
SUVA, Fiji (Fijilive, July 1) – Fiji's Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase has indicated that the Government's Affirmative Action Program will continue to favour Indigenous Fijians.
The Prime Minister also admitted that some of the policies have favored elitist Indigenous Fijians and will continue to do so in the future.
Speaking at a press conference held at Government Buildings, Qarase yesterday took time out to blast the Fiji Human Rights Commission Report on his Affirmative Action Programs.
He said the Commission's report "is a politically inspired attempt to discredit the Government" and added that the report was a "paper analysis" that "does not hold substance."
The Commission has termed all of Government's "race-based" affirmative action policies as "unconstitutional" and called for affirmative action policies to be based on needs not race.
The report was prepared after a complaint last year by the Fiji Labor Party, the Citizens Constitutional...
FIJI ECONOMIST: INSTABILITY BODES POORLY FOR ECONOMY
SUVA, Fiji (Fijilive, July 2) – A senior Fiji economist says persistent and unresolved issues will affect investment into the country.
University of the South Pacific academic Professor Biman Prasad said unless Fiji resolves its land lease predicament, there would be very less private sector investment in the export areas.
This comes after the Reserve Bank of Fiji prediction of a 2.7 per cent economic growth for this year, which analysts say is "not encouraging".
"There has been perceived political instability in since 2001 and this may have affected some investors," said Dr Prasad, who is head of the USP's School of Economics.
He said other investors have been "constrained" by poor economic infrastructure, such as roads, ports, airports amongst others.
Dr Prasad said coupled with this the non-resolution of land leases and continued instability in the agricultural sector through non-renewal of leases greatly affected productivity and...
FIJI'S $17 MILLION REWA BRIDGE NEARS COMPLETION
SUVA, Fiji (Fiji Times, July 2) – Construction work on Fiji's new Rewa Bridge has been completed, with installation of water and sewer mains holding up its opening.
Road Department senior engineer Ruwan Sahabandu said these installations linking the Nausori side to the main water and sewerage lines were still going on as some changes to the pipe arrangements at the abutment ends were introduced late into the project."In addition to that finishing works, including the fixing of road furniture such as street lamps, hand rails and median barriers are now under way," said Mr Sahabandu.
Work on the European Union-funded FJ$30 million [US$17 million] was supposed to be completed by the end of last month but a new opening target of mid-August has been set.
Director of Roads Mosese Nailumu said work on the bridge and a new road linking it to the Kings Highway was held up for some time because they had to wait for...
SAIPAN OFFERED FREE POWER GENERATORS
By Agnes Donato
SAIPAN, CNMI (Saipan Tribune, July 3) – The Commonwealth Utilities Corp. (CUC) has received offers of free power generators from a Philippine government agency and a private company based in the country.
Acting CUC executive director Tony Guerrero said that the Philippines' National Power Corp. has offered to "hand over" four to five engines to CUC if the Commonwealth would pay for the shipping costs.
In addition, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Gov. Benigno R. Fitial said that Prime Asia Group had made a similar offer to the Commonwealth.
Guerrero said that CUC is considering the proposal, but is also worried about the huge cost of bringing the engines to the CNMI.
"We have to take any assistance we can get. Obviously, it's going to be a logistics effort. We're talking about four or five engines that weigh over 20-30 tons each. That's going to take a lot of effort from both sides," he said.
Guerrero maintained...
REPORT: ABRAMOFF SCHEMED FOR FORMER GUAM GOVERNOR
HAGATNA, Guam (Pacific Daily News, July 2) – Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff has told federal investigators and said in e-mails that he worked on behalf of then-Gov. Carl Gutierrez to remove Frederick Black from being the top federal prosecutor on Guam, a new federal report states.
In a Feb. 25, 2002, e-mail, Abramoff wrote Black is "a total commie ... and has been bashing the CNMI nonstop in the past ... we need to get this guy sniped out of there."
The e-mail is quoted in the newly released U.S. Department of Justice Office of Inspector General report from Washington, D.C.
Gutierrez late yesterday said he never asked Abramoff to help oust Black from his position.
"I've never tried to get Fred Black removed," said Gutierrez, a gubernatorial candidate in this year's election. "As a matter of fact, I nominated him when I first became governor."
The Justice Department report stems from Office of the Inspector General's investigation into Black's...
ENGLAND'S PRINCESS ANNE TO VISIT FIJI
SUVA, Fiji (Fiji Times, July 2) – General beautification works have started in and around Suva City to prepare for the visit by Princess Anne this week, says Mayor Ratu Peni Volavola.
"These are just general beautification works like cleaning up the flower gardens and streets and repainting road markings and foot crossings," he said. "We want to make the city presentable for the visit by Princess Anne and although this is within the city boundaries, we hope to extend it beyond that. In addition, we want to impress upon workers and companies, the importance of sustaining cleanliness and not just make it a one-off thing."
Ratu Peni said the clean up was not just for the visit by Princess Anne but because there also had been much criticism about the city being dirty.
He said the beautification works would cost FJ$150,000 [US$85,700]- money that was allocated for capital works but were re-diverted to cater for the clean-...
TAHITI LEADERS CLASH OVER PAPEETE MONUMENT
PAPEETE, Tahiti (Tahitipresse, June 30) – Tahiti celebrated an already controversial Autonomy Day public holiday Thursday with an old fashion Tahitian political controversy surrounding the creation of an Autonomy Square in downtown Papeete.
The controversy began Wednesday night when two cabinet ministers from French Polynesia Oscar Temaru's government tried to have a very big and heavy rock monument removed from the "Pont de l'Est" rotary, or roundabout, on the north side of Papeete.
Since one of the ministers was James Salmon, head of the Public Works Ministry, he had no problem bringing in some heavy equipment to remove the covered monument awaiting Thursday morning's dedication ceremony.
But Papeete Mayor Michel Buillard showed up, claiming, "this emplacement is under the responsibility of my commune; it's been nearly 20 years that my employees have dealt with making this place attractive."
The confrontation quickly involved officials from the city,...

Doctors open offices in Mass. to prescribe marijuana
But niche marketing approach raises concerns
Nancy Nangeroni, who says she has suffered neck, shoulder, and back pain since a 2004 auto accident, brought her medical records with her in a visit to Dr. Joey Rottman to get certified for medical marijuana.
The waiting room of Integr8, a new type of medical practice that opened in a Burlington office building last October, was crowded with patients. One leaned on a walker, another gripped a plastic grocery bag filled with pill bottles. There were twentysomethings and senior citizens.
Many were drawn there by the same thing: medical marijuana.
With names such as CannaMed and Delta 9 Medical Consulting, a dozen physicians offices have opened across Massachusetts in recent months to evaluate patients to use marijuana.
Many envisioned that most patients would consult with their regular doctor to decide whether they could benefit from the drug to treat a debilitating condition. Instead, the 2012 referendum that legalized medical marijuana is giving rise to a new niche — psychiatrists, anesthesiologists, obstetrician-gynecologists, internists, and pain specialists turned medical marijuana specialists.
Even though medical marijuana dispensaries are not expected to open for months, these doctors have already "certified'' hundreds of patients to grow or buy the drug. CannaMed, a California company that now has a Framingham branch, has approved 1,000 patients, its lawyer said.
The state's largest doctors organization is critical of many of the new practices. Dr. Ronald Dunlap, president of the Massachusetts Medical Society, questioned whether doctors should be allowed to set up practices that provide access to one particular drug, which he says can create a conflict of interest for the physicians and may not be in the best interest of patients.
"The commercial part of this is way ahead of the curve,'' he said. "They rented office space before the regulations were even approved.''
These practices are flourishing in part because mainstream physicians are often reluctant to certify chronically ill patients who want to use marijuana. Many doctors do not believe medical marijuana is supported by science — or are waiting for their employers to develop policies. Until they approve guidelines, most hospitals and large doctors' groups are leaving the decision up to individual doctors, but a few, including Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, have told physicians not to certify patients for now.
Physicians who do decide to approve patients will have to take courses on the risks and benefits of medical marijuana.
Doctors opening the marijuana practices also sense a business opportunity. The 20 dispensaries with provisional approval to sell medical marijuana estimate they will serve 36,000 customers.
Patients, many suffering from pain that they say has not responded to conventional treatment, pay doctors $200 to $250 for an initial evaluation and a certification that will protect them legally if they are caught with the drug. And the physicians do not have to deal with insurance companies, which do not cover the visits.
Some doctors also sell hand-held vaporizers, cultivation books, and other products. In addition to marijuana certification, Integr8 provides a wide array of alternative pain treatments such as "Chinese cupping," acupuncture, and osteopathic manipulation.
On a recent Friday, Nancy Nangeroni, 60, arrived for an appointment at Integr8 with Dr. Joey Rottman, a former obstetrician-gynecologist who now specializes in pain management. Nangeroni has suffered from disabling neck, shoulder, and back pain since a 2004 car accident. Rottman asked for her medical records, and she handed him a thick yellow folder.
State law requires that doctors who certify patients have a "bona fide physician-patient relationship,'' including seeing patients in the office, assessing their medical history, explaining the benefits and risks of marijuana, and being involved in their ongoing care. Integr8 and many of the other Massachusetts practices warn patients on websites that they must provide medical records, documenting their condition, before they can be certified.
Rottman glanced at Nangeroni's records, and asked questions about her pain. She told him only three things help: physical therapy, marijuana, and limiting her activities. Nangeroni has bought the drug illegally, but said she does not want to continue supporting an unregulated industry.
Until the dispensaries open, certified patients can grow their own marijuana or obtain it from a "personal caregiver" — a hospice provider, visiting nurse, or other assistant who has agreed to help the patient use medical marijuana. Caregivers will eventually have to register with the state.
During the visit, Rottman said Nangeroni had not been smoking marijuana correctly. "So we're going to change the way you do this,'' he explained. If she feels "a buzz,'' he said, that means she's smoked about twice as much as medically needed. "With marijuana, less is more.''
Rottman sold Nangeroni an emerald green pocket device for $234 used to inhale marijuana vapor, which he said is odorless and less toxic than smoke. He then promised to send a summary of her 45-minute visit to Nangeroni's primary care doctor with Lahey Clinic, who Nangeroni said supports her use of medical marijuana but does not plan to provide certifications yet.
Integr8 Massachusetts, a franchise of Integr8 Health in Maine, is owned by psychiatrist Dr. Thor Agustsson, whose practice has certified "hundreds" of patients so far. Agustsson said his goal is to wean patients off addictive narcotics, which make them drowsy and require escalating doses to control pain. "We see results that are amazing,'' Rottman said.
Dr. Harold Altvater, a former hospital anesthesiologist, used $20,000 in savings to open a solo practice for certifying patients to use medical marijuana in February 2013. Dentists, physical therapists, and a dialysis center are his neighbors in the two red-brick medical office buildings he works out of in Malden and Methuen. He has given talks to pain management doctors and sent out brochures to generate referrals, resulting in 350 certified patients so far.
They include a 47-year-old businessman who came in on a recent Friday with chronic muscle and joint pain that has grown intolerable over the last year. His primary care doctor and several specialists have not been able to identify the cause, he said, but one prescribed a narcotic-like pain reliever that caused serious side effects.
"The problem is that the pain never ends, it's just 24/7,'' said the businessman, who did not want to be identified because he's worried about hurting his career.
His doctor, who works for Partners HealthCare, told him he was not opposed to medical marijuana but that "he wasn't going to get involved in it.'' After a two-hour visit, Altvater certified him to use medical marijuana — at a cost of $250 — though the businessman said he will wait until dispensaries open rather than grow marijuana or buy it illegally.
"If I get caught, it's kind of the end of my career,'' he said.
In states with years of experience with medical marijuana, officials have questioned whether some doctors are running certification mills. A June 2013 report from the Office of the State Auditor in Colorado, which legalized medical marijuana in 2000, found "evidence suggesting that some physicians may be making inappropriate recommendations."
One piece of evidence: Just 12 physicians had certified half of the 108,000 registered patients, and one had registered more than 8,400 — numbers so high they call into question the existence of a "bona fide relationship,'' the report said.
Many physician websites in Colorado advertise convenient service, such as walk-in and weekend hours, suggesting the evaluations might not be objective, auditors found. Another question is how many patients are turned away; if almost every patient walks out with a certification, that's a red flag.
Altvater said he rejects about 50 percent of potential patients during an initial telephone screening because they do not have the proper medical records or are otherwise unqualified. "I am contacted regularly by law enforcement'' looking to confirm that a person arrested for possessing marijuana actually qualifies for medical use, he said. "You really want an evaluation that is bullet proof.''
State public health officials said they are developing an online registration system that will monitor doctors who certify patients; anyone suspected of improper conduct will be referred to the Board of Registration in Medicine, officials said. And, they said, they are "working closely with all the facilities'' to make sure they're operating legally.
Still, Dunlap, the medical society president, questions the appropriateness of these practices. "You can't have a clinic that just gives out one substance. I can't open an oxycodone or a Percocet clinic. That is not medicine, then you are an access point for a specific substance.''
Dunlap said a full-service pain clinic would be a more appropriate place for patients to get certified. Then, if a patient was not a good candidate for marijuana, doctors could offer other therapies or drugs.
Matthew Allen, head of a medical marijuana advocacy group, said his organization pushed for regulations that allow patients to get certified by a doctor other than their regular physician. "We don't want any barriers,'' he said. "Our hope is that medical marijuana will be pulled within the folds of existing medical institutions. That is a long-term process and will take a lot of education.''

Abstract. There has been an intensive search in recent years for suitable strategies to organize and classify the very heterogeneous group of catchments that characterize our landscape. One strand of this work has focused on testing the value of hydrological signatures derived from widely available hydro-meteorological observations for this catchment classification effort. Here we extend this effort by organizing 314 catchments across the contiguous US into 12 distinct clusters using six signature characteristics for a baseline decade (1948–1958, period 1). We subsequently develop a regression tree and utilize it to classify these catchments for three subsequent decades (periods 2–4). This analysis allows us to assess the movement of catchments between clusters over time, and therefore to assess whether their hydrologic similarity/dissimilarity changes. We find examples in which catchments initially assigned to a single class diverge into multiple classes (e.g., midwestern catchments between periods 1 and 2), but also cases where catchments from different classes would converge into a single class (e.g., midwestern catchments between periods 2 and 3). We attempt to interpret the observed changes for causes of this temporal variability in hydrologic behavior. Generally, the changes in both directions were most strongly controlled by changes in the water balance of catchments characterized by an aridity index close to one. Changes to climate characteristics of catchments – mean annual precipitation, length of cold season or the seasonality of precipitation throughout the year – seem to explain most of the observed class transitions between slightly water-limited and slightly energy-limited states. Inadequate temporal information on other time-varying aspects, such as land use change, limits our ability to further disentangle causes for change.

Investment Joint Venture Aims to Bring More Choices to CU Market
A new joint venture between MEMBERS Capital Advisors and another Wisconsin-based investment firm is poised to not only offer more funds but also free up more time for asset managers to manage CUNA Mutual Group's general fund.
By Michelle A. Samaad | May 05, 2009 at 08:00 PM | The original version of this story was published on Credit Union Times Magazine
A new joint venture between MEMBERS Capital Advisors and another Wisconsin-based investment firm is poised to not only offer more funds but also free up more time for asset managers to manage CUNA Mutual Group's general fund.Madison Investment Advisors Inc. and MCA have partnered to form Madison Asset Management LLC with a focus on developing competitive retirement-focused products and services, including its pension and 401(k) products, annuities, life and long-term care products.MEMBERS Capital's mutual funds and the managed account programs will continue to be offered through CUNA Brokerage Services as well as through other approved broker-dealers, according to the company. The Ultra Series fund will continue to serve as one of the investment options that support the MEMBERS variable insurance products, including variable annuities, and within the marketed CUNA Mutual 401(k) plans."With our asset management staff, they will be able to manage more of the general fund, the assets of CUNA Mutual as well as retirement products for what we term as 'middle America,'" said Jim Buchheim, vice president of corporate communications at CUNA Mutual. According to its 2008 annual report, CUNA Mutual had $1.3 billion invested in cash, Treasuries and agency securities representing 18% of its general account portfolio as of Dec. 31, 2008.Buchheim did not disclose the cost to launch Madison Asset Management. However, CUNA Mutual will reduce its expenses as a result of the new entity, he added. Twenty-three of the company's staffers will move over to the firm, which is also based in Madison, Wis."In many respects, there should be very little change for credit unions," Buchheim said. "The joint venture will help offer even more funds that we think are of high quality and focus on the credit union space."Launched in 1974, MIA and its subsidiaries manage an aggregate of approximately $7.5 billion of actively managed mutual funds, fixed-income portfolios, risk-sensitive equity accounts and personalized balanced portfolios. The firm has roughly 75 full-time employees, including 42 investment professionals, in offices in Madison, Scottsdale, Ariz., and Chicago. MIA and its subsidiaries specialize in separate account management for high-net worth and institutional investors, provide asset management for insurance companies and manage the Madison Mosaic Family of Mutual Funds.The new joint venture adds approximately $5 billion in assets under management to MIA. With more than $12 billion in assets under management, MCA is CUNA Mutual's registered investment adviser affiliate.Discussions to launch MAM began around November 2008, said Frank Burgess, president of Madison Investment Advisors. The two companies spent several months talking about strategies and investment and due diligence processes. Burgess recalled there being an understanding that MCA would focus more on credit union products and not day-to-day operations."Consider the times," Burgess said about last fall. "The market was imploding. Every financial institution was deeply worried about things including us and [CUNA Mutual]. That's when we started to talk."Ironically, even though CUNA Mutual and MIA's offices were in the same Wisconsin city less than half a mile from each other, neither had intimate knowledge of their respective operations, Burgess said, adding there was never an exchange between senior management. That has since changed. Buchheim would not say whether CUNA Mutual sought out potential relationships with other investment advisory firms. He did say linking up with a local business "was a key element.""It's a win for our staff," Buchheim said. "If we partner with some company in Phoenix, Arizona, the opportunity to combine staff is probably not there. We have a knowledge of them and they have a knowledge of us. It's a clear alignment."In the past, MIA managed investment portfolios at a few credit unions, Burgess said. Beyond that, the current head of the firm's fixed-income department previously worked at CUNA Mutual, he noted. The new synergy brings "a number of excellent portfolio managers" from both sides. Top management is also in the process of putting together an oversight board that will explore different strategies, Burgess said, adding "at the end of the day, they share in returns, as do we.""We do retain a financial interest in the venture. We are very much involved in the financial success of the organization," Buchheim said.MAM's expected close date is June 30, Buchheim said. Over the next few months, letters and proxies will go out to shareholders and investors. Those MCA employees that will transition over are scheduled to start on July 1.–[email protected]

Texas to host exhibit on Taiwan's indigenous weavings
Date:2016/05/19 ~2016/10/02
A rare glimpse of the unique lifestyles and value systems of Taiwan's indigenous peoples will be offered by "Indigenous Weaving," a special exhibition running at the International Museum of Art & Science in Texas from May 19 through Oct. 2.
Weaving is a distinct craft perfected by the indigenous peoples of Taiwan, who moved to the island thousands of years before it came under Qing dynasty rule. Each tribe developed unique survival and life skills through their interaction with the natural environment and with each other.
In their self-reliant cultures, these aborigines utilized horizontal back-strap looms to process ramie fibers into cloth. Following trade and contact with Han immigrants and other colonial powers, cotton, fur, and manmade fabrics gradually replaced cloth made with ramie fibers. Further influences from the Han culture led to the disappearance of traditional "square-cut" outfits in favor of Han-style clothes.
Traditional indigenous patterns and weaving styles are now endangered skills. Pattern design alone requires precise calculations to ensure that different colored threads are inserted at the right position with the correct width. One miscalculation is likely to distort the entire weave, so only a few tribal elders still produce woven products.
Young weavers in Taiwan are now trained in the time-honored methods in an attempt to preserve tribal culture and the values embodied in such craftsmanship.
The exhibition is made possible by the National Museum of History in Taipei, which loaned 40 indigenous artifacts from its collection. The relics represent weaving from Taiwanese indigenous tribes such as Atayal, Truku, Amis, Puyuma, Paiwan, Rukai, and Tau (Tao).

Will the next movie focus on Anna? Is Elsa Queer? Discover it here
When it comes to creating family-friendly animated content, not many come close to Disney. In November 2019, Disney released the sequel to the Frozen franchise, which turned out to be the highest-grossing animated film of all time. So it's no surprise that fans are eagerly awaiting Frozen 3. But is it really coming? Let's find out.
Created by Jennifer Lee Frozen franchise, the show is based on a fairy tale titled "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen. The film follows Princess Elsa as she embarks on a journey to discover herself and the magic she possesses. Her sister, Anna, then goes in search of her and fights the obstacles with the help of Kristoff, Olaf and Sven. The story has led to a more magical and mysterious world until the second film. But what else happens in the next episode? Read on to know more about it.
Is Frozen 3 coming?
Nearly two years after the release of the first film in 2013, Disney announced the second part of Frozen. However, it wasn't until November 2019 that Disney released the second film. Meanwhile, regarding Frozen 3, no information is available yet.
During an interview, the creator Jennifer Lee discussed the problem. She said: "To us, this feels like what we wanted to achieve. It feels like the end, but the first felt like the end when we did it. We don't know. I think it feels like the end now." While her ambiguous statement doesn't shed any light on the third film, she doesn't rule out the possibility, given that there was a six-year gap between the first two films, we may have to wait a few more years before Disney gives Frozen 3 the go-ahead.
Prince Hans returns as villain?
Frozen 3 has yet to be announced, but it hasn't stopped fans from speculating about Prince Hans' comeback as an enemy in the film. In Frozen, Prince Hans was introduced as Anna's love interest until the public was shocked to learn that he was a villain. Hans is the youngest of the thirteen frozen siblings in the royal family of the Southern Isles, and he regrets never becoming king.
A Frozen Heart tells the story of his physical and emotional abuse by his twelve older brothers and his various attempts to regain his father's respect. Hans is still part of the Frozen world. Although he's from the Southern Isles, he didn't appear in Frozen 2. But Hans is often addressed in Frozen 2, especially in an early charades scene where he is ridiculed. According to enthusiasts, Frozen 3 could explore what they might look like. Prince Hans is tempted to exact revenge after Anna and Elsa banish him to the Southern Isles.
Will Frozen 3 be about Anna?
The storylines of the first two Frozen movies mainly revolved around Elsa, her powers and her internal struggles. In these works Anna played an important supporting role. However, Anna's turn to star in Frozen 3 should be hers. Anna was always there to make her sister feel loved, and she was the driving force behind Elsa's emotional recovery.
Frozen 3 has the potential to solve this problem by starring Anna and letting her amazing character shine on her own. Frozen 3 is supposed to be an Anna-centered story, with Anna as the essential character in the film. This is beautifully portrayed in Frozen 2. Anna was proclaimed Queen of Arendelle. She is engaged to the love of her life. And just spent an entire movie trying to be everything to her sister.
Anna is also joined by a core group of individuals who can help solidify her place as the main heroine in Frozen 3. In addition, fans of Frozen are once again expecting Anna and Kristoff's wedding. The first two films have established their love. And now fans are excited to see that they are finally getting married.
Elsa's sexuality in the movie!
Since the premiere of Frozen in 2013, fans have been speculating about Elsa's sexuality. Though Frozen 2 doesn't address whether she is gay or not. Disney did not acknowledge or disprove the hypothesis, but with the release of the second film. Social media is buzzing more and more. Many Frozen fans have spoken out about their desire for Elsa to emerge from her hiding place.
As a result, there are rumors that Disney could try to make amends with the third installment of the Frozen franchise. If this happens, Elsa's sexuality will no doubt be revealed in a huge way. To make the future movie, Disney will make sure to wrap it in an enticing story. Frozen 3′ should go a different way. As a result, many fans speculate about the possibility that Elsa has a partner in "Frozen 3", which would put an end to the topic of her sexuality for good.

So week 7 saw the windows put in and our fantastic framers move across the road to frame a new Boutique home… I wonder what house they are building?.
As for the windows there are quite a few missing glass panels and my neighbour said she heard the sound of glass smashing a few times – oops!!! I did see a glazier turn up, but from the front it still looks like the panels are missing. I'm not worried – I know the glass will get fixed. I also braved "The Ladder" and had a little sticky beak upstairs. WOW – we have a great view!!! But sadly, across the road will be houses so that view will most likely go. There is also a view of the playground at the park from the back bedroom which I didn't know existed. This view will be lost also, as it is a wall. Even if we had put a window, it would have been frosted glass as it looks into the neighbours backyard so no view regardless. The space in the kids bedrooms feels good, and our Grand Master is MASSIVE, and I am told the rooms feel even bigger when they are plastered!!! I have ideas for the children's bedrooms, but not so much for our room.
Mon August 31, 2015: Carpenters working on the frame, and windows put in.
So I am assuming that brickwork will start in Week 8 – can't wait to see the bricks – hopefully I like them. We did upgrade them, so I am hoping it was money well spent.
My favourite window – the dining area. LOVE LOVE LOVE this giant fixed window.
I am so in LOVE with this giant fixed window in the dining space. This window was in both display homes of the Airlie and both hubby and I loved it. It looks just as wonderful as I hoped it would. I had the vision of putting the old metal inserts from the original homes front brick fence on the wall outside the window – but sadly somebody stole them. I'm pretty sad but there is nothing I can do now. So I think we will pull this timber fence down and just have the brick wall – maybe a cool painting on the wall???
Maybe a bigger window was required here??? But with a view like that from next door – maybe this will be fine.
So that is a sample of the windows – the fixed splash back windows are still to go in I believe.
The dark bricks I am assuming are the ones that get rendered as I certainly didn't choose them. The light ones on the right look like the ones I picked!!!
I am so excited to see the bricks start and am thrilled that everything is going well so far.
Hopefully my week 8 update has some great photos to share!!!
Has anyone else been over-excited by windows or am I the only one???

What facade are you having??
House is coming a long nicely we just had our plans endorsed and now have been given 4 to 6 weeks until we find out construction date..
How long did you have to wait from having plans endorsed by council until you went to site??
You mentioned you had a frame inspection. Was this done by boutiques buildi g inspector or did you hire your own? We are considering building the Marseille with Boutique. I love reading your blog. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Thanks for reading. We used our own inspector. We are lucky to have family members in the building industry so we just use them to look over the frame. From the forums/blogs I have read, it sounds like a good investment to have an independent inspection. Feel free to ask any other questions, and good luck with your build journey.

Malaysia to quiz controversial preacher Zakir Naik over racist remarks
Published : Aug 16, 2019, 9:41 am IST
Updated : Aug 16, 2019, 9:42 am IST
The move came after he said Hindus in Malaysia had '100 times more rights' than Muslim minority in India.

Kuala Lumpur: Malaysian authorities will summon controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik for questioning after he allegedly made racially sensitive remarks in the multi-ethnic nation, the government said on Thursday.
The move came after several ministers demanded Naik's expulsion on Wednesday after he said Hindus in Malaysia had "100 times more rights" than the Muslim minority in India.
Zakir Naik, who has lived in Malaysia for about three years and faces charges of money laundering and hate speech in India, has come under fire for comments allegedly pitting the country's ethnic and religious minorities against the ethnic Malay majority, who are predominantly Muslim.
Police will question Zakir Naik and several other individuals and groups for making "racially-tinged statements" and for spreading false news that has affected public sensitivities, Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said.
"I would like to remind all parties, including non-citizens, that enforcement agencies under my ministry will not think twice to take legal action against anyone who attempts to threaten public harmony and peace," Muhyiddin said in a statement.
Asked for comment, a representative for Zakir Naik told Reuters he would first need to study the minister's statement. Race and religion are sensitive issues in Malaysia, where Malay Muslims make up about 60 percent of a population of 32 million
The rest are mostly ethnic Chinese and Indians, most of whom are Hindus.
Zakir Naik, who has repeatedly denied the charges against him in India, has said his detractors were quoting him out of context to malign him.
State news agency Bernama quoted Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad as saying this week that the controversial Islamic preacher cannot be sent back to India because of fears for his safety.
"If any (other) country wants to have him, they are welcome," Mahathir added. India banned Naik's Islamic Research Foundation in late 2016, accusing him of encouraging and aiding its followers to "promote or attempt to promote feelings of enmity, hatred or ill-will between different religious communities and groups".

Q: C++ Should I overload operators? I've never used operator overloading before and on one of my assignments it says:
"Use polymorphism only as appropriate. The general rule is that if an inbuilt operator matches the
purpose of a member function then it should be overloaded."
I've managed to get both versions to work and I think that the 2nd version of ApplyFilter is better. but by me using operator overloading does it make the code a bit harder to read?
Non-Overloaded
int TheFilter::ApplyFilter(TheData& dataIn, TheData& dataOut) {
    // other stuff here.
    for (int i = 0; i < dataOut.length(); i++) {
        dataOut.set_values(i, 0);
        for (int j = 0; j < length(); j++) {
            dataOut.set_values(i, ( dataOut.get_values(i)
                           + (dataIn.get_values(i+j) * get_values(j)) ));
        }
    }
}

Overloaded
int TheFilter::ApplyFilter(const TheData& dataIn, TheData& dataOut) {
    // other stuff here
    for (int i = 0; i < dataOut.length(); i++) {
        dataOut[i] = 0;
        for (int j = 0; j < length(); j++) {
            dataOut[i] += dataIn[i+j] * values[j];
        }
    }
    return OK;
}

EDIT - The Data Class that I was using for the overloaded version!
class TheData {
    public:
        int length()
        double& operator[] (int index);
        const double& operator[] (int index) const;
        void print();
        void resize(int);

    private:
        std::vector<double> values;
        bool valid;
};

A: The Overloaded version is more clean and intuitive. The non-overloaded is more verbose. I do not think there is, really, a "right way", for this stuff. I would do the overloaded version in a C++ program, though.

AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has told the returning Kaka that he has not joined a "team of bums", arguing that the Rossoneri remain Italy's No.1 team.
Juventus may have won the title for the past two seasons but the 69-year-old says that the statistics show that the San Siro outfit are still superior.
"We are the first Italian club in Europe; just look at the Uefa rankings," Galliani told reporters at Kaka's official unveiling on Thursday.
"I don't like this story that is told to us. We won a Scudetto three years ago. We were first up until April two years ago. Then, last yyear, we finished third.
"I claim both the past and present of Milan with pride.
Kaka, who won the Ballon d'Or during his previous stint in Milan, has rejoined the Rossoneri after four years in Spain with Real Madrid.


Comprehensive Insurance Definition: Having insurance now a days is very important. Reality is very unpredictable. You don't know when you are going to get in to trouble either on the road or off the road. But having different insurances for different scenarios can become very expensive. But there is way to save money and not compromise quality. That is comprehensive insurances.
Comprehensive insurances are single packages that cover many services. You can get a single insurance that covers hazard, health, natural and vandalism etc. costs.
More accidents are caused by natural or vandalism circumstances yet these are one of the most expensive insurances in market. With comprehensive insurance you can cover different possibilities in low rates and high quality.
Who Require Comprehensive Insurance Generally?
Some own with a new car that is expensive.
Someone who is a regularly travel between cities.
Someone who owns heavy vehicles like trucks.
Someone who lives in an area with bad weather conditions and theft rate. Also if there are many stray animals.
There are different types of comprehensive insurances.
Comprehensive insurances are available at most insurance companies you go to. Just ask for comprehensive insurance from your insurance company and they will present you a couple of packages.
Choose a package that covers the most services and has less cost. But do not hurry in signing the contract. Take your time and look around in different companies. Insurance rates are different in di different companies.
Try to choose a company that has good customer service and good packages. The companies with good customer service will help you choose a package that suits your budget and income.
A liability insurance cost less than a comprehensive insurance. But comprehensive insurance covers more and gives you more relaxation. It leaves nothing to chance and it even covers stolen car cost.
The immediate price of insurance doesn't matter but the end result does. Comprehensive insurance has high rates since comprehensive insurance covers more than regular insurances.
Some well-known companies offer good comprehensive instances.
State farm offers comprehensive insurance with an annual cost of $2296.
Progressive offers comprehensive insurance with an annual cost of $2821.
All sate offer comprehensive insurance will an annual cost of $3182.
GEICO offer one of the best and cheapest comprehensive insurance.
Their annual cost is $1297.
Comprehensive insurances Definition relieve you from worries of unexpected or unpredictable accident costs. Like natural disasters. The cost of damages by natural disaster is also covered by comprehensive insurance.
You can cover multiple services in health and business insurances as well. Like of you get in a car accident and have medical and repair bills than your comprehensive insurance kicks in and covers the cost.

Q: How to specific ip and hostname when making http or https requests? https.request({
  ip: '127.0.0.1',
  hostname:'internal.hostname_required_for_certificate.com',
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/'
})

Above code doesn't work, meaning I need to send a request to 127.0.0.1 while in the request it is sending https://internal.hostname_required_for_certificate.com/...

A: You can manually specify a Host header:
const req = https.request({
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/',
    headers: {
        'Host': 'internal.hostname_required_for_certificate.com'
    }
}, (res) => {
    res.setEncoding('utf8');
    res.pipe(process.stdout);
});

req.end();

A: host/ip :  A domain name or IP address of the server to issue the request to. Default: 'localhost'.
hostname  Alias for host. To support url.parse(), hostname will be used if both host and hostname are specified.
Since you have provided both its taking hostname while processing get request

Some people dread the change of seasons. Shorter, darker days mean fatigue, oversleeping, too many carbs, and having a general sense of malaise: a pattern known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Seasonal affective disorder is depression that occurs during late fall and winter months, as darkness occurs earlier in the day. Symptoms include depression, lethargy, difficulty waking, and craving carbohydrates, which often leads to weight gain.1 Seasonal depression may be an issue for some of the women we see. Fortunately, safe treatments for pregnant and breastfeeding women are available.
Light therapy can also be safely combined with medications in most cases, and can boost the activity of medications in patients who are either not responding or who have had a partial response. Terman and Terman4 summarized the results of several recent clinical trials where patients were given either bright light therapy (10,000 lux) or dim light (2,500 lux) in addition to their medications. They noted that in all of these studies, bright light improved remission rate and sped improvement.
Although a number of light intensities have been investigated, lights with intensities of 10,000 lux, with 30 to 40 minutes of exposure, appear most effective.4 Two studies with light exposures of 30-40 minutes at 10,000 lux achieved a 75% remission rate. It took 2 hours to achieve similar remission rates with 2,500 lux. And in some cases, even with longer exposure, lower-intensity lights are not as effective.4 Also, when longer exposure times are necessary, patients are less likely to comply. This may particularly be true for mothers of young children who probably won't find it practical to sit for two to three hours in front of a light box.
Timing of light exposure also makes a difference. Exposure to bright light is generally much more successful in achieving remission if it occurs in the morning. Terman and Terman4 cited one analysis of 332 patients, across 25 different studies, that compared administration of light in the morning, mid-day and evening. They noted remission rates after one week of treatment, with significantly higher rates in the morning (53%), compared with mid-day (32%) and evening (38%) exposures. According to their analysis, morning light should be administered 8.5 hours after a patient's melatonin onset.
Because of the effectiveness of morning light exposure, a variant to standard light therapy has recently been added to the repertoire of possible treatments: dawn simulation. As the name implies, dawn simulation refers to a light that comes on before a patient is awake, and gradually increases in intensity over a period of 15 to 90 minutes (the length of the sunrise can be tailored to individual preference). The advantage to this treatment is that it does not require sitting in front of a light box for an extended time, making it a more practical alternative for new mothers or mothers of young children. Although a relatively new technique, it is showing promise as a treatment for SAD.5 Some newer lighting devices are both light boxes and dawn simulators.
A number of possible mechanisms for light's effectiveness have been proposed. Most explanations have to do with modifying the internal circadian clock. Our circadian rhythms, or daily patterns of sleep and arousal, are regulated by the pineal gland, which secretes melatonin. The pineal gland responds to light via light receptors in the retina. Exposure to light in dark winter months appears to reset the internal clock. The antidepressant effect is stronger when patients are exposed to morning, rather than evening light.
Light boxes with high levels of exposure to UV can also cause eye damage, and there is some controversy about the safety of blue lights. Safe light boxes are those encased in a box with a diffusing lens that filters out UV radiation.1 "Full spectrum" bulbs are not necessarily advantageous and are often expensive. The National Alliance on Mental Illness1 recommends bulbs with a color temperature between 3000 and 6500 degrees Kelvin. These have not been shown to cause any harm to patients' eyes. Patients wanting to try light therapy should only use a lighting apparatus from a reputable dealer. Since price may be an issue, many hospitals, and some manufacturers, have loaner programs that allow patients to try the lighting device in their homes before buying them.
Bright light therapy is a generally safe, well-tolerated treatment option for seasonal depression. It may relieve non-seasonal depression as well. Bright light therapy is also breastfeeding friendly and can be used during pregnancy. Although therapeutic light boxes can be costly at first, a single purchase will last for years. For patients who dread winter, this investment is often well worth the cost.

Q: ListBoxItem HorizontalContentAlignment overwrites cosmopolitan style I am looking for a solution to get my ListBox Items to stretch the full width of the ListBox.
I have found the following solution however when I add it to my xaml code it overwrites the style being used by the cosmopolitan theme I am using throughout my application and therefore doesn't look right.
<ListBox...>
    <ListBox.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
            <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
        </Style>

Is there a way of doing this without it affecting the style?
I saw somewhere that I might need to bind the ListBox items width to the ListBox's actual width?
Thanks.

Smut for General Audiences: "Nothing Personal" w/Suzanne Somers (1980)
On May 29, 2018 By Sam WeisbergIn Articles/Reviews
"To be quick about it, she's terrible. Her smile…communicates no amusement, warmth, intelligence or interest. We watch the smile as we would watch the opening of a garage door…it's a minor mechanical feat." -Vincent Canby, chief New York Times critic, on Suzanne Somers' performance in the 1980 flop "Nothing Personal."
Before the mid-to-late 1960s, foul language, nudity and overtly sexual references were barred from mainstream films, relegated to pornography and the sinister underground. While Hollywood gradually opened the floodgates, I am assuming that even the most liberal American filmmakers and filmgoers back then were less than thrilled at the idea of small children (say, under 12) being subjected to any salaciousness. So it remains one of the more fascinating mysteries of film history: why it took roughly 20 years to establish a middle-ground PG-13 rating, given to movies that couldn't resist a few f-bombs but mostly stayed within the "shit/goddamn/asshole territory," and kept their nude scenes fleeting and non-provocative. (This rating system still exists today, as does the idiotic R- rating designation for totally harmless, non-violent, non-exploitative films–think "The Breakfast Club" or "Lost in America"–that (Heaven forbid!) have more than two "fucks" in them). If you watch every PG-rated comedy made between, say, 1970 and 1984 (the year of PG-13's dawning), you will encounter a vast number that, today, would undoubtedly be given a stricter rating.
One of my favorite childhood movies that falls into this category is "Sixteen Candles," released in 1984 just before the issuance of PG-13. My nostalgia for it has overpowered my growing disdain for its naked misogyny (a drunk girl gets tricked into thinking a horndog geek is her jock boyfriend, and sleeps with him under the influence; today, that is called date rape) and racism (an elfin Chinese exchange student mangles the English language, fondles larger women and generally acts like a lunatic, his every entrance and reference accompanied by a gong on the soundtrack). Somehow, these craven offenses are still dwarfed by the romantic appeal of the central plot (sweet girl has terrible birthday, gets her prince).
But I digress. Each time I watched the uncensored theatrical version, at an older and older age, I became increasingly astounded that the movie was rated PG. Yes, there's only one "fuck" in the whole film, but of all the '80s teen comedies, it falls second only to "Porky's" (rated a hard R) in terms of blatantly sex-addled humor. The entire movie is a cartoon wolf-dog with its eyes bulging out. The underwear of a virginal teen is removed and examined (twice); there is talk of gangbangs and gang rapes; there is fondling and stalking and unwanted advances by predatory boys on petite girls (mostly, on their necks and thighs). And even more glaringly, there is, as in "Porky's," nudity. Flagrant, lingering nudity. Full frontal nudity, and not of the "innocent kids shipwrecked in nature" variety, nor the quick mooning gag variety.. No, a buxom girl is seen showering in all her glory in the girls' locker room, gawked at by two jealous classmates. How in the hell did that scene ALONE not warrant an R-rating, while the following year's fully-clothed "The Breakfast Club" (made by the same director) received an "R" purely for profanity? Were the stodgy ratings board members that deadly afraid of the f-word at the time–even more than they were of nudity and (as we learned in the amazing 2006 doc "This Film Is Not Yet Rated") female pleasure?
I had a similar feeling of incredulity watching the 1980 Suzanne Somers-Donald Sutherland flop "Nothing Personal." Though not on Netflix, it is available on Amazon Instant, and my new rule for this blog excludes entries on movies you can easily stream. But I make an exception for movies that stir up this sort of cultural crisis in my head. One scene in particular should be viewed by whichever person or committee invented the term "mansplaining," for permanent exhibition in the Hall of Shame. But first, a brief synopsis.
That jokey tagline above, about the two main characters "breaking the law" all over the country, refers to the client/lawyer rule about not sleeping with your client. Donald Sutherland plays a supposedly passionate college professor who's disgusted to learn about the clubbing of endangered baby seals, on Native American land pegged for development. (I say "supposedly" because Sutherland drones through this movie with a delirious, shit-eating grin, presumably having swallowed a lot of downers. His lethargy is all the more puzzling given that, in one of Somers' autobiographies, she wrote that Sutherland more or less took on directing duties, having realized the ineptitude of the assigned director, the late TV hack George Bloomfield. This account was not confirmed anywhere else, but if that is the case, Sutherland was an equally inept director–of himself as much as anyone else.)
Anyway, he needs a tough Washington, D.C. lawyer to take on the corporate behemoths allowing the animal cruelty, but the only one that will take his case is–gasp!–a woman. A blonde woman. A blonde buxom woman played by Suzanne Somers, then known for playing a blonde buxom bimbo on "Three's Company," in her mainstream movie debut. (She'd made a never-released British one the previous year, called "Yesterday's Hero.") Despite this lawyer's comely charms and high vocabulary, Sutherland is an old-fashioned prig, and he doesn't think a woman is up to the job. But eventually she disarms his apprehensions by, uh, sleeping with him.
I'm exaggerating a bit here, but not much. Let me break this down. When Sutherland and Somers first meet, she flashes him the most shameless goo-goo eyes imaginable, and spouts off smutty double-entendres along with her legal credentials. (In interviews, Somers referred to her character as "a liberated woman," closer to her own nature than the ditz she played on "Three's Company." But I'm sorry to say: this is a slobbering man's fantasy of an intelligent business woman, hook, line and sinker). Since this walking Barbie doll with a seventh-grade boy's sense of humor comes complete with research skills, Sutherland is impressed and takes her on as his attorney. The two then venture to Philadelphia, where they plead their case against seal-bashing at a corporate board meeting. On the cab ride to the train station, he asks if she'll be stopping home to pack her "underthings." Somers reveals that she doesn't wear any. On the train ride up, she confesses that she's "horny," but Sutherland says this stems not from physical attraction but from the vibrations of the train. "Oh," she says. End of scene.
This leads to the hall of shame sequence referenced above, in which Sutherland and Somers do research in a hotel room, with her indeed in the buff, barely cloaked by a skimpy bedsheet, and him in a dapper suit and bowtie. He then lectures–or mansplains–to Somers that she shouldn't use her "pussy" in the practice of law. He repeats the word "pussy" perhaps six or seven more times, contemptuously. (Again: this was rated PG). Does Somers slap him or kick him out of the room or otherwise reprimand him? Of course not. She's delighted at his blatant misogyny, as so many female love interests in dopey '70s and '80s comedies curiously were. She then proves him right, by calling up a random contact–connected in some way to the seal-bludgeoning–and promising him a sexual favor. To end the scene, she mock-laments to Sutherland that she used her body instead of her brain, despite his misgivings, ensuring his intellectual prowess over her. Man, does that turn him on!
This is, needless to say, stupefying, as is the next love scene in which the mustachioed Sutherland seems to be chewing Somers' upper lip off while whispering more smut at her. He wins another sexual and intellectual battle concerning their keeping score on orgasms (she had more than him). Later on, Somers makes jokes about being "unshaven" and compares an exhausting journey in the trunk of a car to a football team gangbang.
Beyond this suggestiveness, there is also nudity in the film. Damning photographs surface of Sutherland and Somers (more likely their body doubles) doing the deed, pored over by the filmmakers. But hey, never mind her long, perilous journey through the male-dominated law field: Somers is cheekily defiant to the blackmailers, and it's Sutherland who cries foul.
And so it was: the era of prudish, long-faced men effortlessly enticing "liberated" (read: impossibly horny) career women. At least on screen, this was the era. You never saw a movie of this type in which the free-spirited woman decided to ditch the stick-in-the-mud male figure. So the guy gets all the excitement, and the girl gets…a guy. (It's a reverse situation of what former Washington Post critic Paul Attanasio–now a screenwriter–trashed Rob Reiner's 1985 romantic teen comedy "The Sure Thing" for.)
This era also gave screenwriters carte blanche on racist jokes. Two of them here are about the TV slavery drama "Roots." (A hilarious target, no question). One of these is delivered by the usually hilarious Dabney Coleman, playing his umpteenth corporate slimeball character. He and a colleague are trailing Sutherland and his African-American accomplice, played by the late Roscoe Lee Brown. "He looks like that black actor," Coleman says to his crony. "You know, the one not on 'Roots.'" Decades later, in the very politically-correct year of 2012, Coleman weirdly boasted about ad-libbing this joke during an interview with The A.V. Club. He also called Somers a "fantastic actress," so maybe his mind wasn't all there.
This movie and its ilk could retroactively be grouped in an alliterative genre all their own: Prurient PG Piffle. Eight-year-olds went to this movie–I am guessing–with their unassuming parents, because the censors figured the word "pussy" would fly over their heads more than "fuck." Not to mention the filmmakers' crass haste in undressing, outsmarting and bimbo-fying their sole substantive female character. (Catherine O'Hara gets a tiny scene with zero funny or memorable lines; to be fair, though, so does Eugene Levy).
One last curiosity: as seen above, Vincent Canby of the New York Times viciously panned "Nothing Personal." This being 1980, however, male critics did not yet blanch at–let alone condemn–blatant sexism in the movies. So he took most of his brutal aim at Somers, calling her dumb and untalented. This is probably how her performance will come across to viewers today, but Katharine Hepburn herself couldn't bring charm or conviction to such an insipidly conceived role. Anyway, Canby says the movie's sole funny moment involves a character played by the late Hugh Webster. Unless he was mixing up supporting actors, this is a vexing distinction. I re-watched the scene in question–the board meeting scene–and all Webster says is: "I own 99.9% of the shares in this company, and my vote is no." Or something to that effect. Is that funny? Was it funny in 1980? Did I have to watch the whole scene to get the context? Oh wait, I did watch the whole scene! And there are actual jokes in it, and this isn't even a joke. Hmm. Maybe Canby was tickled by Webster's peculiarly hangdog face?

Hello everyone! Another rough couple weeks essentially devoid of hobby output, sad to say. I was able to squeeze in an hour of build time and I set to building what was originally planned to be a Master of Signals model for the Iron Hands. Since that never entirely coalesced, I figured I'd repurpose him for the Thousand Sons!
I found out after adding him to the army list that a Master of Signals isn't actually allowed to have a combi-weapon. However, after flipping through the options I noticed that the Siege Master also carries a nuncio-vox and is allowed to have the modeled combi-plasma. Simple head swap and the addition of a khopesh-shaped power weapon and job done! Had never considered the Siege Master for the Iron Hands as they didn't have a heavy weapon squad, but in the Thousand Sons granting Tank Hunter and Wrecker to the missile launcher team? Oh my yes!
Another belter. I love any conversions where the model isn't in a battle pose. Nice work!
@Zab: Hah! It has been a while - my usual steamroller method of army building has been severely disrupted with all the Real Life(tm) stuff going on. Boo!
@Colonel Scipio: Cheers! I'm all for dynamism in models, but sometimes a nice calm and contemplative pose is just what's needed!
Love that source model and love your conversion on it!
He doesnt need to be shooting, he's planning the next step in the siege. Love the mk v armour with the 1k sons head.
He looks a little skinny for some reason!
Loving the conversion. How did you make the base?
@Dai: Indeed! I dig the contemplative look.
@Raymond Tan: Aye, that's partially due to the angle of the pic, but the elongated helmet and backpack does make him seem tall and spindly.
@The Man In A Hat: Thanks! The bases are made from dental stone and come from ebay seller named eveonlineseller. They're heavier than resin, but seem a little more brittle. Overall I prefer resin, but these are an interesting change!

Original Press Release:
New In-Motion Checkweighing Systems for Red Meat Introduced by Gainco
Gainesville, GA, December 14, 2007 -- New In-Motion CheckWeighing systems from Gainco, Inc. provide accurate high-speed, in-motion weighing of raw, bagged, boxed or other packaged red meat products to ensure conformance to pre-set weight ranges. Not only are they designed for operating efficiency and labor savings, they also deliver precision weighing accuracy.
With a box unit capacity up to 100 lbs., the weighing capabilities of Gainco In-Motion CheckWeighers are accurate to ±0.04 lbs., 95% of the time, with "gap error" warnings embedded in the software. Accurate downstream distribution of the product is maintained by means of advanced communications from the checkweigher to various automated or manual functions downstream, including the boxing of multiple finished products, vertical bagging systems or sorting tables.
The rugged construction of Gainco's In-Motion CheckWeighers is specially designed to withstand the rigors of heavy use in harsh processing environments, and the system can process 50+ pieces (boxes and bags) per minute up to 30" in length.
Gainco's In-Motion CheckWeighers also feature an optional reject arm that diverts products quickly yet carefully, thereby optimizing quality and appearance of the product prior to re-work. Highly durable plastic belting is employed for reliability and enhanced sanitation. The three-frame design isolates the weigh unit from the heavy-duty infeed and outfeed frames, and an optional reject chute is also available.
An important feature of the in-motion checkweigher is the proprietary Gainco Infiniti(TM) Plus programmable controller, providing today's best protection against washdown water and condensation thanks to a highly durable polymeric housing that protects the weighing apparatus equally well in cold work environments and during hot washdowns and high-pressure washing. Likewise, the housing is impervious to the harsh chemicals typically used in washdown procedures in meat, poultry and seafood processing environments. The unit is NTEP-certified, and third-party tests show that the controller's performance meets the stringent IP69K washdown standard.
Gainco's Dataman® Data Collection System, available for use with in-motion checkweighers, is a software/hardware combination allowing for the integration of all remote units on the production floor. Operators can set parameters for individual pieces of equipment, monitor yield and throughput, and create customized reports - all from a single location.
