College Football News: 2018 Quarterback Rankings - at VegasInsider.com.
Editor's Note: Don't miss out on College Football winners with expert analysis from Brian Edwards on VegasInsider.com this season. Click to win!
My quarterback rankings are based upon who I believe will perform at the highest level during the 2018 college football season. I do not consider how a QB projects to the NFL Draft or how/if he'll play on Sundays in the future.
1-Will Grier (West Virginia): As a redshirt freshman, Grier had led Florida out to a 6-0 record before getting slapped with a one-year suspension by the NCAA for testing positive for a banned substance. Grier never wore orange and blue again after Jim McElwain essentially ran him out of town. After missing the final six regular-season games of 2015 and the entire '16 campaign, Grier finally returned to the field at West Virginia last season. He didn't disappoint. Grier garnered third-team All Big 12 honors behind Baker Mayfield and Mason Rudolph. He completed 64.4 percent of his passes for 3,490 yards with a 34/12 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He suffered a season-ending finger injury in the first half of a home loss to Texas in WVU's 11th game. Grier also ran for a pair of TDs. For his career, he's 12-3 in 15 career starts that he completed (excluding the 'L' vs. Texas) with a 44/15 TD-INT ratio. He has two of the nation's top wideouts in Gary Jennings and David Sills returning.
2-Khalil Tate (Arizona): Former head coach Rich Rodriguez didn't turn to Tate until a Week 6 game in Boulder. Better late than never, right? Tate promptly erupted for 327 rushing yards and four TDs on just 14 carries. He also completed 12-of-13 throws for 154 yards and one TD without an interception to lead UA to a 45-42 win at Colorado. In the next three games, all wins for the Wildcats, Tate had five TD passes compared to two interceptions and rushed for four TDs. A week after gashing the Buffaloes for 327 yards on the ground, he ran for 230 and a pair of scores on 15 attempts vs. UCLA. Tate had six games in a row with the following outputs of rushing yards: 327, 230, 137, 146, 161 and 206. For the season, he ran for 1,411 yards and 12 TDs with a 9.2 yards-per-carry average. Tate connected on 62.0 percent of his passes for 1,591 yards with a 14/9 TD-INT ratio. He threw for 302 yards and five TDs in a 38-35 loss to Purdue at the Foster Farms Bowl. Seven of Arizona's top eight pass catchers are back in 2018, in addition to the Wildcats' second-leading rusher in RB J.J. Taylor, who rushed for 847 yards and five TDs with a 5.8 YPC average last year.
3-Trace McSorley (Penn State): McSorley won't have running back Saquon Barkley around anymore, but there are two five-star recruits to replace him in junior Miles Sanders and true freshman Ricky Slade. McSorley, a two-time second-team All Big 10 selection, is currently second in PSU history in passing yards and should surpass Christian Hackenberg's numbers before the end of September. He has a 59/18 career TD-INT ratio along with 18 rushing TDs.
4-Drew Lock (Missouri): Lock, who is probably the best NFL prospect among these signal callers, is third in career passing yards at Missouri and will pass Brad Smith into second place in the first half of his team's opener vs. UT-Martin. If he can duplicate his 3,964 passing yards from his junior campaign, Lock will surpass Chase Daniel and sit atop the school's record books. The Tigers return nine starters from an offense that averaged 37.5 points per game in 2017. Lock had a 44/13 TD-INT ratio and directed an offense that scored 45 points or more in Missouri's last six regular-season games. Yes, you can make an argument that his stats were padded against weak defenses (18/3 TD-INT ratio in games vs. SW Missouri State, vs. Idaho and at UConn), but he also had four TD passes at Georgia, which gave up more than 19 points to only two regular-season opponents.
6-Jake Browning (Washington): Browning goes into his senior year with 39 career starts, producing a 24-6 record in his past 30 outings. He earned fourth-team All-American honors as a sophomore in '16 by throwing for 3,430 yards and leading the Huskies to the CFP semifinals. Browning had a 43/9 TD-INT ratio during that 12-2 campaign. His numbers sagged a bit last year, although he connected on 68.5 percent of his passes for 2,719 yards with a 19/5 TD-INT ratio. With workhorse RB Myles Gaskin (21 rushing TDs LY) back in the mix along with an offensive line ranked 13th in the nation in Phil Steele's preseason magazine, Browning is poised for a monster senior campaign.
7-Jarrett Stidham (Auburn): Steele's mag ranks Stidham as the third-best NFL QB prospect. After a slow start in September (a game at Clemson in Week 2 can contribute to such an occurrence), Stidham really settled in and played outstanding football. He finished the year with an 18/6 TD-INT ratio, 3,158 passing yards and a 66.4 completing percentage. Before subtracting sack yardage, Stidham showed he can move by rushing for 383 yards and four scores. Stidham has his top-five pass catchers back, but the o-line could be a bit of a concern (ranked 53rd nationally in Steele's Unit Rankings).
8-Justin Herbert (Oregon): Steele has Herbert as 'The Uno' in terms of draft-available QBs following this season. The Ducks went 6-2 in Herbert's eight starts last year, 1-4 in the five games when he was sidelined with an injury. As a true freshman in 2016, Herbert started the Ducks last seven games and threw for 1,936 yards with a 19/4 TD-INT ratio. He also ran for 161 yards and two TDs. Then last year, Herbert was off to a blazing start (9/2 TD-INT ratio with three rushing TDs) before breaking his collarbone in the first half of a home win over California. He returned for Oregon's last three games, throwing six TDs compared to three interceptions. Herbert threw for at least 233 yards in the seven games when he took most of the snaps. He also rushed for five TDs with a 4.2 YPC average.
9-Ryan Finley (North Carolina State): Finley led his team to its highest win total (nine) since 2010 by connecting on 65.1 percent of his attempts for 3,518 yards with a 17/6 TD-INT ratio. Since arriving in Raleigh as a transfer from Boise State, Finley has started 26 consecutive games and posted a 35/14 TD-INT ratio. The WR combination of Kelvin Harmon and Jakobi Meyers, which combined to grab 132 receptions for 1,744 yards and nine TDs in '17, is back for another run with Finley and the Wolfpack.
10-McKenzie Milton (Central Florida): Milton led UCF to an unbeaten season by completing 67.1 percent of his passes for 4,037 yards with a 37/9 TD-INT ratio. With 613 rushing yards, eight TDs and a 5.8 YPC average as well, he deservedly garnered fourth-team All-American honors. The rising true junior already has 23 career starts to his credit.
Just Missed: Jake Fromm (Georgia), Nate Stanley (Iowa), Justice Hansen (Arkansas State) and Shea Patterson (Michigan).
Underrated: Jake Bentley (South Carolina), K.J. Costello (Stanford), Jordan Ta'amu (Ole Miss), Andrew Ford (UMass), Eric Dungey (Syracuse) and Kyle Shurmur (Vanderbilt).
Honorable Mention: Brian Lewerke (Michigan State), Brett Rypien (Boise State), Kelly Bryant (Clemson), Daniel Jones (Duke), Nathan Rourke (Ohio), Gus Ragland (Miami OH.) and Brent Stockstill (Middle Tennessee).
-- Mississippi State's Nick Fitzgerald might have made my Top 10, but he's still recovering from a gruesome leg/knee injury sustained in the Egg Bowl. His wheels, not his right arm, are his biggest asset so until I see him back at full strength (that is the expectation in Starkville by August), I couldn't put him in my Top 10.
-- Northwestern's Clayton Thorson wouldn't have been in my Top 10 regardless, but he's certainly a Top-20 QB. Thorson is second in school history in passing yards, but he tore his ACL early in the first quarter of the Music City Bowl vs. Kentucky in late December. Whether or not he'll be ready for the season opener (or play at all in September), remains a question mark at this point.
-- FSU QB Deondre Francois had the look of a future star when he went 10-3 in 13 starts as a redshirt freshman in 2016. He suffered a season-ending knee injury in the second half of a Week 1 loss to Alabama in Atlanta. With his team struggling while he recovered from surgery, Francois alienated himself from teammates with social-media posts from locations outside of Doak Campbell Stadium during home games late in the season. He recently had other issues with the Tallahassee Police Department, so his standing with new coach Wille Target and his staff is a bit of a mystery. James Blackman had a 19/11 TD-INT ratio in 12 starts after being thrust into the action as a true freshman. We'll see who wins this job.
-- Virginia Tech's Josh Jackson had an excellent redshirt freshman campaign, throwing for 2,991 yards with a 20/9 TD-INT ratio. He also ran for 498 yards (before subtracting sack yardage) and six TDs. There were reports out earlier this month that he could be facing a lengthy academic suspension. Since then, however, he's been cleared of whatever academic matter was in doubt and is expected to be in uniform at FSU in the Monday Night opener.

Check out breathtaking aerial views of Apple Park building lit up at night
Christian Zibreg on May 19, 2017
Friday, drone pilot Duncan Sinfield posted his monthly Apple Park construction update showcasing breathtaking aerial views of the massive ring-shaped building lit up at night.
The mountain of dirt on Apple's new campus counties to shrink on a daily basis as contractors continually work on landscaping, planting mature trees around the site.
Solar arrays on the building's roof appear to be completely installed and light posts around the new campus are now active, too.
Aside from other impressive features and mind-boggling facts, the main building has nine entrances and sports a large café, basically an atrium-like space four stories high with a pair of huge glass doors that can be opened when it's nice outside. The café was designed to hold 4,000 people at once, split between the vast ground floor and the balcony dining areas.
Here's Duncan's latest video.
In order to be able to open and close the massive glass doors quietly, they hid the necessary mechanism underground. The glass doors weigh in at a whopping 440,000 pounds each.
"The only doors I know of in the world that size are on an airplane hangar," said Nelli Diller, a managing director for Seele Group, a German company Apple contracted to create the largest, strongest pieces of curved glass in the world for its new corporate office.
Each of the 800 45-foot-tall panels of safety glass takes fourteen hours to create.
Seele had to expand capacity by working with its autoclave manufacturer to develop a much bigger cooker that could stack five panels at once. "The one we had was the biggest in the glass industry by far. This new one is just … giant," said Diller.
Seele also built glass panels for Apple Stores.
Both Google Maps and Apple Maps offer three-dimensional views of Apple Park, although Google's 3D imagery appears to be a bit out of date.
For a video recap of the construction progress made on the 175-acre campus over the past year, check out a birds-eye video by videographer Matthew Roberts.
If you like these gorgeous aerial scenes of Apple Park lit up at night, be sure to check out Duncan's first nighttime footage of the new campus taken about a month ago.
Apple gave Wired a rare look inside the building with many previously unknown tidbits about the project and never-before-seen photographs of the meticulously designed interiors.
Apple began moving in first employees at the start of April, with about 500 new employees arriving every week thereafter. The iPhone maker expects to finish the move-in process, complete landscaping work and open the visitor center to the public by year-end.
Apple Park has a 100,000-square-foot fitness and wellness center for employees which includes a two-story yoga room, as well as access to medical and dental services.
"I'm a big believer in people staying active," said Cook, who is something of a fitness buff himself. "It's something that makes them feel better and more energetic. It's all about the fixation on the customer, and the customers here are our people, our employees."

Home/Technology/Amazon is looking to control your smart home with Echo, Ring, Eero and more
Amazon is looking to control your smart home with Echo, Ring, Eero and more
Automatic reading
Thumbnails poster
Last slide next
Amazon has this week acquired another startup, the maker of the beloved technological product Eero, a mesh router that enhances dead Wi-Fi spots at home. For that, you may have said: OK, then?
Of course, it is only another purchase made by the largest online retailer in the world. But more importantly, it shows how much Amazon wants to go further than just making our homes "smart". He wants to transform our homes into "Amazon Home".
Think about it for a minute.
Improve WiFi throughout your home with an easy-to-view router. (Photo11: eero)
Your guests are welcomed at the door with a video ring from Ring, a company bought by Amazon, bought in 2018. They enter a lounge where an Amazon Echo loudspeaker plays music while waiting for voice commands.
Then they head to the kitchen, where an Amazon microwave warms the dinner – based on products purchased naturally from Whole Foods, owned by Amazon – while lowering the volume of the Amazon Fire TV Edition television.
You ask Alexa to reduce the intensity of smart lights with the help of the only smart product in the house, which does not yet belong to Amazon, the Philips N.V. Hue system.
And Wi-Fi, the guts of the system, without which no other product could work, is controlled by the last device purchased by Amazon, Eero.
Are you comfortable with Amazon's control at home? On Twitter, some were not this week.
"Terrible news"RickWilliams wrote in a tweet. "I liked the fact that they (Eero) seemed very concerned about their privacy and very responsive.They will now belong to one of the biggest data givers in the market. . "
"It's a terrible news for my privacy concerns," tweeted @SteveRiggins at Eero. "I do not leave Alexa at home for these reasons and now you have me asleep."
Amazon and Eero downplayed privacy issues, saying that the mesh router did not share Wi-Fi information. But, as Eero is doing now, Amazon will soon know how you're using your Wi-Fi network, whether it's on a computer or on a cell phone, just by being on your home network.
The technicians liked Eero because it solved a major problem: helping eliminate the uneven Wi-Fi service at home. In his 2016 article, Edward Baig of USA TODAY said, "My dead zones seem to be a dead problem."
The Eero was the first product of this type in a category soon imitated by Google, Netgear, Linksys and others. A three pack of Eero (for several rooms) is selling for $ 500; Google has reduced it in its $ 250 version.
Now, with Amazon versus Eero, "you can not really escape Amazon at home," said Carolina Milanesi, an analyst at Creative Strategies. "A large company provides too many devices."
Patrick Moorhead, an analyst at Moor Insights, does not actually do it.
"Amazon may have the biggest part of the house, but it's no different from the iPhone or Android phone or the (smart) home-worn watch," he says. Because every step and every move is monitored by Apple and Google via the smartphone.
Rival Google offers only two products for the smart home, its Google Wi-Fi system, similar to Eero, and the Nest Thermostat, while Apple does not market any under its brand name.
Neither Apple nor Google has been so aggressive in acquiring smart home products. And when a company like Amazon wants to add more products to your home, it means competing products can not be easily used. Alexa, is there room for a Google Home Hub video speaker that runs under Google Assistant? Because you can not use both interchangeably.
Sonos One, the connected speaker currently taking orders Alexa, is a perfect example. Later this year, Sonos will update the product to also accept Google orders, but not at the same time. The user will have to assign one or the other as personal assistant of his choice.
Amazon is famous for its lack of smartphones trying to enter the market too late after Apple and Google. Since then, he has built a giant appliance business with electronic readers, tablets, connected speakers, security cameras and, now, smart home products.
A recent visit to one of the Amazon Books stores in Los Angeles shows how aggressive Amazon becomes in this category, with much of the store dedicated to "Smart Home Made Easy".
The cost of entry based on what was on display: a good $ 1,000. Now let's add the price of an Eero, which Amazon could significantly reduce from its current price of $ 500. For the Ring, Amazon reduced its price by half, from 199 USD to 100 USD.
Good news for consumers. But at what cost?

In other new techniques this week
One can not get there in New York: in other news of Amazon, the online retailer has given up its plans to open a second head office in the most populous city of New York City. America, in the midst of a local political opposition. "For Amazon, the commitment to build a new headquarters requires positive collaborative relationships with local and local elected officials, who will provide long-term support," the company said. New York and Virginia won a national contest last year to win the new headquarters of Amazon. Amazon announced that it was not planning to reopen the contest and that it would be "as planned in northern Virginia and Nashville", where it adds a mini-campus.
Apple: Hooray for Hollywood. The iPhone maker traditionally organizes a March event to present new products. This year's edition is expected to introduce a new entertainment service aimed at Netflix and Amazon Prime. Apple has recruited a cream of the cream of Hollywood stars to participate: Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and Kristen Wig.

JibJab sold. The company originally selfie electronic cards that present you with humorous situations has been sold to Catapult Capital. The firm was founded in 1999 by the brothers Evan and Gregg Spiridellis (remember the first video "This Land is Your Land", starring John Kerry and his president, George W. Bush?) Who left the firm , after the sale. They went to Storybots, the animated children's series on Netflix and used as a teaching aid.

POLB Imports, exports flow prior to Lunar New Year
[ February 23, 2017 // Karen Thuermer ]
Renewed activity at the Port of Long Beach's largest terminal and extra ships calling ahead of the Lunar New Year pushed cargo 8.7% higher in January compared to the same month a year ago.
Dockworkers moved 582,689 TEUs last month. Exports were strong, jumping 10.8% year-over-year to 118,234 containers. Imports increased 7.4% to 298,990 TEUs, while empties sent back to the Far East rose 9.6% to 165,465.
Growth at terminals was led by the Port's Pier T terminal, operated by Total Terminals International (TTI). The terminal is now controlled by Terminal Investment Limited (TIL), a subsidiary of Mediterranean Shipping Co. (MSC), the world's second-largest ocean carrier. MSC's TIL purchased a majority stake in the terminal following the bankruptcy of Hanjin Shipping last year.
The month's total container traffic growth was notable since TEU traffic in January 2016 jumped 25% from the same month in 2015.
"It was a tough benchmark, so we're very happy with the way the new year is starting in Long Beach," said Board of Harbor Commissioners President Lori Ann Guzmán. "This year, we'll be laser-focused on furthering our new partnership with MSC and continuing to provide efficient and rapid service to all of our customers."
Port of Long Beach Interim Chief Executive Duane Kenagy said with new alliances beginning this spring, 2017 is expected to be a transition year for the industry.
"Long Beach stands ready to provide a dependable harbor as carriers adjust to new services, while we continue upgrading our berths and rail network to speed their cargo inland," said Kenagy.
The Port of Long Beach is one of the world's premier seaports, a gateway for trans-Pacific trade and a trailblazer in goods movement and environmental stewardship. With 175 shipping lines connecting Long Beach to 217 seaports, the Port handles $180 billion in trade annually, supporting hundreds of thousands of Southern California jobs.

Q: Perl: Issue with blessed object I am creating a bot that connects to a Matrix server. For that I use Net::Async::Matrix.
The code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::Async::Matrix;
use Net::Async::Matrix::Utils qw ( parse_formatted_message );
use IO::Async::Loop;
use Data::Dumper;

my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;

my $matrix = Net::Async::Matrix->new(
server => 'matrix.server.net',
    on_error => sub {
            my ( undef, $message ) = @_;
            warn "error: $message\n";
    },
);
$loop->add( $matrix );

$matrix->login(
    user_id  => '@bot:matrix.server.net',
    password => 'password',
)->get;

my $room = $matrix->join_room( '#Lobby:matrix.server.net' )->get;

$room->configure(
    on_message => sub {
            my ( undef, $member, $content, $event ) = @_;
            my $msg = parse_formatted_message( $content );
            my $sendername = $member->displayname;
print Dumper $sendername;
            &sendmsg("$sendername said: $msg");
    },
);

my $stream = $matrix->start;

sub sendmsg {
        my $input = shift;
        if ($input) {
                $room->send_message(
                        type => "m.text",
                        body => $input,
                 ),
        }
}

$loop->run;

Basically, I want the bot to echo what was said.
I get following output:

$VAR1 = 'm1ndgames'; Longpoll failed - encountered object 'm1ndgames
  said: test',  but neither allow_blessed, convert_blessed nor
  allow_tags settings are enabled (or TO_JSON/FREEZE method missing) at
  /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1/Net/Async/Matrix.pm line 292.

and I don't understand it. When I enter a string like test into the body, it gets sent to the room.

A: parse_formatted_message returns a String::Tagged object. This class overloads concatenation so that "$sendername said: $msg" also returns a String::Tagged object. This object is passed to sendmsg which tries to serialize it into JSON, but it refuses to serialize objects.
Fix: Replace
my $msg = parse_formatted_message( $content );

with
my $msg = parse_formatted_message( $content )->str;

A: I'd guess that this is a quoting error. If you look at Net::Async::Matrix::Room:
sub send_message
{
   my $self = shift;
   my %args = ( @_ == 1 ) ? ( type => "m.text", body => shift ) : @_;

   my $type = $args{msgtype} = delete $args{type} or
      croak "Require a 'type' field";

   $MSG_REQUIRED_FIELDS{$type} or
      croak "Unrecognised message type '$type'";

   foreach (@{ $MSG_REQUIRED_FIELDS{$type} } ) {
      $args{$_} or croak "'$type' messages require a '$_' field";
   }

   if( defined( my $txn_id = $args{txn_id} ) ) {
      $self->_do_PUT_json( "/send/m.room.message/$txn_id", \%args )
         ->then_done()
   }
   else {
      $self->_do_POST_json( "/send/m.room.message", \%args )
         ->then_done()
   }
}

The type you sent is handled by this sub, and then the actual message gets handed off to _do_POST_json in Net::Async::Matrix.
But you've sent a string containing a :.
So I think what's happening is it's encoding like this:
use JSON;
use Data::Dumper;

my $json = encode_json ( {body => "m1ndgames: said test"});
print Dumper  $json;

But the response that's coming back, at line 292 which is:
if( length $content and $content ne q("") ) {
         eval {
            $content = decode_json( $content );
            1;
         } or
            return Future->fail( "Unable to parse JSON response $content" );

So I think is what is happening is the remote server is sending you a broken error code, and the module isn't handling it properly - it's expecting JSON but it isn't actually getting it.
My best guess would be - try dropping the : out of your message, because I would guess there's some bad quoting happening. But without seeing the code on the server side, I can't quite tell.

The Croatian mountains, made of porous limestone are known worldwide for their deep pits and caverns. Many of the caves that can be found throughout the Dinaridic chain of mountains was home to the Neolithic man, with numerous artifacts to support that claim.
Croatian islands are in fact part of the same mountainous range, made from the same type of stone as the mountains that spread across the coastal region, so they are also brimming with caves, some of which are so unique that they attract visitors from around the world.
Located on the eastern side of the small island of Biševo, one of Croatia's furthers islands, lies the entrance to the Blue Cave. Even if you haven't heard of the island, you have surely seen the photos of this place, which attracts tourists from around the world and is considered one of the most beautiful views of the Adriatic Sea.
This beautiful cove is specific due to the way the sun rays reflect of the limestone surface, making for a memorable sight. The cove has two holes, one is man-made and allows for small ships to pass through, and the other, much wider allows for the sunlight to pass through it.
On a bright sunny day, between 11 and 12 a.m., sun rays enter through the entrance in the water and are reflected off the limestone rocks at the bottom. The sun lights up the water which lights up the walls, making them shine in a blue color while the underwater objects appear to have a silver shine.
If the natural phenomenon at the Blue cave left you with a feeling of wonder, you can experience the similar interplay of lights in the Green cave, located on the islet of Ravnik, near the island of Vis. Ravnik is one in a series of islands scattered along the south-eastern coast of the island and for its unique characteristics is declared a protected area of Croatia.
The cave has a tiny opening through which sun rays can penetrate the cove, and then they reflect off the multitude of algae off the front doors, thus coloring the inside in an emerald green color.
When visiting the island of Vis, be sure to visit this marvelous interplay of sea, rock, and algae which will leave you enchanted.
It seems that the area around the island of Vis is brimming with natural beauties. One of which is Queen's cave located on its northern shores, on a cliff above the sea level. The cave is an ancient one, consisting of 5 galleries connected by canals, some of which haven't even been explored yet.
It seems that it has been populated since the Neolithic times, with archeological remains to prove the theory as well as in the Bronze Age. According to the legend, the cave was named after a powerful Illyrian queen who made residence there, Teuta.
According to mythology, the legendary Greek hero Odysseus, while returning victorious from the ruins of fallen Troy to his wife Penelope, was shipwrecked on the island of Mljet for seven years, enchanted by the nymph Calypso.
The legend says that the hero's ship was wrecked against the cliff underneath the sea surface, but he luckily managed to swim inside the cave nearby, thus giving it his name.
Odysseus cave is an attractive natural phenomenon, it's a sea cave whose ceiling has broken off, leaving it looking more like a large well.
There is even a cliff, near the entrance, which is completely covered by the sea during high tides, thus confirming the legend.
The cave is especially beautiful during the high noon, when the sun rays strike the sea from above and disperse on nearby stone walls in a rainbow of colors, making for a memorable sight.
It is no wonder then, to imagine that Odysseus could have made it his home for 7 years.
The entire island of Mljet is extremely popular with those wanting to experience their own little odyssey since the island is filled with untouched coves, so visiting Odysseus cave is a must.
One of the most visited caves in Croatia is the Biserujke cave, located near the village of Rudine, on the island of Krk. The island is filled with caves, there are 54 of them, of which Biserka is the largest and only one open to visitors. The cave is filled with stenoendemic species, such as insects, spiders, centipedes and a rare type of shrimp.
Not only rich with life, the cave is famous for its magnificent interior which is decorated with stalactites, stalagmites, and columns made of calcite.
Another interesting thing is connected with this cave, it is named Biserujka (pearly one) because according to a story Adriatic pirates used it to hide their treasures. Maybe you get lucky and find a piece of it lying in the depths somewhere!
It is no secret that the shores of the Adriatic were a habitat for humans since ancient times, but they were even populated since the Neolithic Period as well! Located on the southern side of the island of Hvar, Grapčeva cave stands as a witness to Hvar's early culture. The cave is one of the most important and oldest discoveries in the whole of the Mediterranean.
The cave is in itself, a beautiful natural monument, consisting of a small and a big hall which is surrounded by smaller premises. Stalactites and stalagmites decorate the cave, making for a memorable sight especially when illuminated by candles.
Another cave visited by the prehistoric man, Vela cave is located on the island of Korčula. The objects found at the site that back 13 000 years, while there are proofs of human activity dating back to 20 000 years BC. It is located about 130 meters above the sea level, and is of elliptic shape, with two holes on its roof, through which the Sun illuminates the surface. The cave is considered a natural phenomenon and is a tourist attraction the beauty of which was covered even by the National Geographic magazine.
The unique properties of the Croatian islands, which are made from porous limestone, made for a fertile ground for numerous caves, some of which have entered into a dance with the sea producing marvelous effects.
The beauty of these places leaves no one untouched since according to legend, even queens and Greek heroes made them their home!


LAS VEGAS— DirecTV is taking over complete responsibility for the sale and distribution of set-top boxes for its direct broadcast satellite service, in one of the first major moves under News Corp. leadership.
At the same time, DirecTV will require manufacturers producing equipment for the service to dispense with differentiated features and even their own company brands as the service moves to maintain uniformity of look and operation. All products will be flagged with a DirecTV logo.
DirecTV said the goal of the initiative is to "offer DirecTV customers a simple and more user-friendly experience, while also delivering a more efficient supply-chain process to its retail partners." The approach will follow closely the equipment development and distribution system used by rival EchoStar for the DISH Network service.
DirecTV will assume complete responsibility for the sale and distribution to retail of all set-top boxes used to receive DirecTV programming and services by mid 2004, the company said. Over the course of the year, authorized manufacturers of DirecTV hardware will migrate to a new standardized hardware specification, which will ensure that all DirecTV customers enjoy a consistent user interface and experience.
Under the new system, DirecTV retailers will have a single point of contact for all DirecTV needs. Ironically, days before CES, RadioShack, which has been one of DirecTV's largest retail partners, said it would no longer sell DirecTV equipment or services.
DirecTV said it activated 405,000 net new subscribers in the fourth quarter and ended the year with more than 12.2 million subscribers. For the full year, DirecTV added over 3 million gross owned-and-operated customers.
Meanwhile, DirecTV said it now plans to deliver its first HDTV-capable combination receiver and TiVo digital video recorder in March at a $999.95 suggested retail. It will store up to 200 hours of standard definition programming or up to 30 hours of high-definition television. The DVR will be manufactured for DirecTV by sister company Hughes Network Systems.
The CBS-HD service will be available only to subscribers living in markets where CBS has owned-and-operated (O&O) stations. This includes New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Boston, Dallas, Detroit, Minneapolis, Miami, Denver, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Salt Lake City, Austin, Texas, and Green Bay, Wis.
DirecTV said a similar agreement with FOX for FOX O&O markets is expected in coming weeks.
Customers who subscribe to the DirecTV local channel package in CBS and/or FOX O&O markets will receive the programming free of charge.

A common occurrence with leather upholstery is the accumulation of body oils on the piece's arms, head & foot rests. Allowing these oils to remain on the leather will ensure discoloration, to the point that cleaning will not correct the problem. Also, have you noticed how brittle and dry your once soft, subtle, leather feels lately?
The number one reason leather upholstery fails is due to improper cleaning and replenishing of its natural oils. How many times have you used soap and water or regular household cleaning agents to "spot-clean" your leather sofa or chair? Although using these products may briefly enhance the look of the leather, they are not thoroughly removing accumulated pet & body oils, dirt, newspaper ink, etc. WORSE YET, these same products are doing a superb job of stripping natural oils from the hide, which results in drying and cracking on, or near the surface of the leather.
All leather that we clean gets done so by hand, not machines. This is important to know because mechanical buffering machines that are often used to clean leather cause friction that generates heat. The heat that is generated actually breaks down the finish that is found on most of today's leather products. Our unique, dual process cleaning method removes tough dirt & grime while replenishing natural oils that have been lost over time. If you leather furniture is more than three years old and has never been properly cleaned and conditioned, DO NOT DELAY. It is OVERDUE!!


Sean Tyler Foley (or STF as he's affectionately known) loves helping people find their voice and getting their message out to the world. It is the focus of the book that he wrote "The Power to Speak Naked" and is what truly brings him joy in life. As a performer, speaker, and just a general seeker of attention, he knows how hard it can be to get in front of an audience. If STF can help facilitate that in any small way for others, it is what he was put on this Earth to do.
STF is a husband, father, son, and performer in that order. Some days it feels like he has dabbled in every industry on the planet, from oil and gas to aviation to film and television. He has owned or been partners in some very diverse businesses and currently is self-employed as a professional speaker and trainer.
Regardless of the industry or the titles he has held, what they all had in common was promoting and encouraging people to be heard and understood. STF has a passion for connecting people and facilitating introductions, and loves when he gets the opportunity to say "I know someone who does that, let me introduce you."


Dunlop puts the technique toward saucy dishes like mapo doufu. But I use it even more simply. My routine: Start a pot of brown rice. Start a pot of salty water. Meanwhile, roast whatever vegetables are about to go bad. Mix together peanut butter, miso paste, rice vinegar, and water, by sight and to taste. (Also try: the turmeric-tahini and roasted garlic dressings, above.) When the rice is done and the water is simmering, cube the tofu and add it for a minute to two. Drain well. Add a bed of rice to a bowl. Top with tofu and veggies. Drizzle with peanut-miso sauce. Dinner! Happy me. Happy tofu.
What's your favorite way to cook tofu?
Yes! I don't have access to "soft tofu" where I live so this blanching trick to "firm tofu" helps to get close to the soft texture. Not quite, but it helps. I use this trick now for all my tofu that I am simmering.
Does anyone else eat tofu plain- no seasoning, no cooking- or is it just me?
I've posted numerous times about this on various tofu recipes on the site, so forgive me this if is repetitive.
I learned this tip from an Andrea Nguyen recipe. She recommends simply pouring boiling water over the tofu in a large bowl and letting it sit for 15 minutes. When the sauce I'll be using with the cooked tofu will be salty (as it nearly always is - all that tamari, soy, miso, doenjang, etc.) -- I don't salt the water. The tofu turns out just as well.
After 15 minutes (or more), I drain the water off and then fry the tofu with no oil in a non-stick skillet. Tofu has a high fat content, so you really don't need any oil, other than for flavor. Leave the slabs, bars or cubes alone for about 8 minutes on medium heat; you can see the steam rise from the tofu itself. Flip the pieces over and let them cook on one or more of the other sides. They'll be light to medium tan, fragrant and moist inside, with a good firm edge. One advantage of this method is that you can use regular tofu, not firm or extra firm. Regular tofu has a better flavor and a soft custardy texture inside.
I make up two batches over the weekend; we'll eat one for dinner and the rest I'll use for lunches. They hold for at least 4 - 5 days.
Thank you so much for this! Will be trying this method ASAP.


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sept. 25, 2017) - Lucara Diamond Corp. (TSX:LUC)(BOTSWANA:LUC)(NASDAQ OMX Stockholm:LUC) ("Lucara" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the historic 1,109 carat Lesedi La Rona recovered from the Karowe mine in Botswana in November 2015 (see news release dated November 19, 2015) has been sold for US$53 million (US$47,777 per carat) to Graff Diamonds.
Laurence Graff comments, "We are thrilled and honoured to become the new custodians of this incredible diamond. The stone will tell us its story, it will dictate how it wants to be cut, and we will take the utmost care to respect its exceptional properties. This is a momentous day in my career, and I am privileged to be given the opportunity to honour the magnificent natural beauty of the Lesedi La Rona."
William Lamb, President and CEO, comments, "The discovery of the Lesedi La Rona was a company defining event for Lucara. It solidified the amazing potential and rareness of the diamonds recovered at the Karowe mine. We took our time to find a buyer who would take the diamond through its next stage of evolution. The price paid is also an improvement on the highest bid received at the Sotheby's auction in June 2016. Graff Diamonds is now the owner of the Lesedi La Rona as well as the 373 carat diamond, purchased earlier this year, which formed part of the original stone. We are excited to follow these diamonds through the next stage of their journey."

I'll readily admit I had no idea what this book was before hearing of the Hulu show. I have never considered myself well read, or any sort of literary expert, so I have no shame in admitting that. But after a few episodes of the show, I knew I needed to read the book. And with a long weekend trip coming up with multiple plane, train, and car rides involved, I had just the time to do it.
In a discussion about the show recently, a friend of mine said he was turned off by the apparent mocking of Christianity. While I can certainly understand where he was coming from, I patiently explained that the extremes to which the nation of Gilead took it's Judeo-Christian "values" was exactly the point being made. When taken to extremes, any religion quickly devolves into misery.
The book certainly made me take a step back and look at our current culture/society to examine just how close we are to Gilead. We're not too far removed from our past and the oppression of women (and minorities in general) that we've removed all chances of diving right back in to it if the wrong people were to gain power.
The nonsense Latin phrase that roughly translates to "don't let the bastards grind you down" has become a sort of rally cry for women (and allies), but I believe is just a great thing for anyone to remember. I'm sure there are hundreds of tattoos existing or planned for this phrase.
Within the Gilead nation, there are handful of repeated phrases that the people use in passing, or as daily greetings, as a part of the religion.
Without getting into the fact that many of these phrases themselves are rather oppressive (a reminder that someone is always watching you), they made me think about how phrases such as these work their way into a religious life and how they can act as both beneficial or harmful depending on the specific usage.
Overall, I loved the book. A gripping story, an impactful message, and reminder to always be on guard against authority and power within a spiritual journey.


Important note: parking is tricky, so take the free shuttle bus or use the valet bicycle parking coordinated by Walk It! Bike It! Lewisburg. Buses leave every 10 minutes from the Weis north parking lot off Route 15 just north of Lewisburg, with four stops downtown; if you ride your bicycle, take it to the Mifflinburg Bank parking lot at 5th and Market, and Earl's Bicycles will park it and protect it for you while you walk around the Festival.
The main event of the Celebration is the Lewisburg Arts Festival on Saturday, April 28, with over 100 juried artists displaying their works throughout downtown Lewisburg. There are two stages of performers, with partial support by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. There will be FOUR food areas this year, plus an Artisanal Food area on Market Street at Front Street. Don't forget the juried Indoor Art Exhibit and the juried photography exhibit, or the Featured Artist exhibit at Faustina's. And don't forget the Community Commons, where many of the area's nonprofits are set up with information and activities (including gym mats to get the wiggles out!).


Several parks and recreation areas in the region will now be tobacco-free, and have signs alerting visitors that tobacco products of any kind — including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, chewing tobacco and vapes — are prohibited.
The signs are being put in place by Healthy Monadnock partner, the Cheshire Coalition for Tobacco-Free Communities, with funding by CDC's Partnerships to Improve Community Health initiative. Funds will pay for customized signage in various municipalities that will alert visitors to the tobacco-free areas.
The goal is to make six local recreation areas and/or parks tobacco free in 2017, encompassing four or five towns in the Monadnock Region.
The local initiative is the result of a new recommendation by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), which has called for a ban on the consumption and use of tobacco products at all public parks and recreation centers across the country. The organization says that prohibiting tobacco consumption and use at public parks and recreation centers will protect visitors, especially children, from unhealthy behavior and exposure to secondhand smoke. The elimination of tobacco products will also prevent millions of cigarette butts and filters from being left behind by tobacco users — an act that can harm the environment and cause fires.
Tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the United States — killing more than 480,000 Americans every year. It is also known to cause harm to millions of people, including children, who are exposed to the dangers of secondhand smoke. There have been 2.5 million deaths associated with secondhand smoke since 1964. Public support for the elimination of tobacco products in parks and recreation centers is broad-based, according to the NRPA. A recent Park Pulse poll conducted by NRPA found that four in five Americans (79 percent) support policies that would prohibit the use of tobacco products at public parks and recreation centers.
Towns or local recreation departments interested in tobacco-free signage, contact Jane Skantze at the Coalition at 603-354-5454 x2313 or jskantze@cheshire-med.com.


Melissa Gorga's black aviator sunglasses in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico are yet another affordable pair of shades we've seen her in this season, which is refreshing since her old go-to LV's were a pretty penny. Melissa got fired up at the end of the episode, and TBH, I like to see her standing up for herself. Sometimes I feel like she bites are tongue to keep the peace, and with this crowd, why even try? I'm so curious to see how next episode begins, and who gets sent home. Wait, wait, it's been a crazy week, I'm thinking of The Bachelor. What I meant was, I'm so curious to see how the next episode begins, and if anyone gets punched in the face.
Who makes the black aviators Melissa gorga is wearing in the pic above? In Mexico sitting by the pool.
They are Quay. Where it says "Shop Available Colors" under the image of her you can click the images to shop the colors that are still in stock. The info is always directly under the large image on our posts. Enjoy!
Where did teresa guidice get the black and white outfit she has on in the picture below.
Hi Joann! I wish I knew but I couldn't find it. Will post if it pops up!

Q: Get a sum of CPU usage of all child threads I have a console application which spins up multiple tasks at startup.
Further each of these tasks have timers that do various async operations (db reads/writes).
I would like to calculate the CPU usage for each of these startup tasks (should include the sum of usages of the child tasks initiated by them) and log it periodically.
I already checked Get Thread Cpu Usage and How to get the CPU Usage in C#? But these seem to be either for a single thread or the entire process.
Would appreciate any help on this.


The 83 submissions for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards have been whittled down to a shortlist of 9 films. Notable omissions include Mommy (Canada), Palme d'Or winner Winter Sleep (Turkey), Two Days, One Night (Belguim) and White God (Hungry). I'm disappointed Dolan's audacious Mommy is not in contention – it is not only my favourite foreign language film of the year, but my 2nd favourite film overall. It's surprising that the Dardenne brothers' Two Days, One Night didn't make the cut – the film is extremely topical and speaks to the almost universal experience of tough economic times.
On the positive side I am delighted that Poland's Ida made the cut. It is quite possibly the best looking film of 2014, as well as being incredibly moving. Other films sure to be favourites are Russia's Leviathan, Sweden's Force Majuere and Argentina's Wild Tales. I must admit to have never having heard of Corn Island, Accused or The Liberator, so I have no idea what sort of chance they have.

Q: How come my stored procedure does not concatenate strings like normal queries? Full example is provided for you to try to solve.
The problem is I want to add two columns ('MUNTAX' AND 'SCHTAX') and put the result into a third column ('TOTALTAX') in the table ('house').  However, the columns are prices of type varchar not integer, so I have to remove the '$' sign and ',' before calculating.  And after calculation, must convert back to varchar the total adding back in the '$' and ','.
Where I'm hung up is on getting the total.
Create the table:
CREATE TABLE `house` (
`ID` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`MLS_NO` int(10) default NULL,
`AGENT` varchar(120) default NULL,
`DISP_ORDER` int(4) default NULL,
`ADDR` varchar(200) NOT NULL default '',
`PRICE` varchar(12) NOT NULL default '',
`PRTYPE` varchar(20) default NULL,
`BUILTYPE` varchar(30) default NULL,
`YEAR` varchar(4) default NULL,
`LAREA` decimal(10,0) default NULL,
`ROOM` decimal(10,0) default NULL,
`BEDROOM` decimal(10,0) default NULL,
`BATHROOM` decimal(10,0) default NULL,
`PWDRROOM` decimal(10,0) default NULL,
`GARAGE` decimal(10,0) default NULL,
`PARKING` decimal(10,0) default NULL,
`MUNTAX` varchar(30) default NULL,
`SCHTAX` varchar(30) default NULL,
`TOTALTAX` varchar(30) default NULL,
`DESCR` text,
`DEFAULTPIC` decimal(10,0) default NULL,
`ADTYPE` varchar(100) default NULL,
`DESCR_2` text,
PRIMARY KEY  (`ID`),
KEY `Index_2` (`ADDR`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=122 ;

INSERT INTO `house` (`ID`, `MLS_NO`, `AGENT`, `DISP_ORDER`, `ADDR`, `PRICE`, `PRTYPE`, `BUILTYPE`, `YEAR`, `LAREA`, `ROOM`, `BEDROOM`, `BATHROOM`, `PWDRROOM`, `GARAGE`, `PARKING`, `MUNTAX`, `SCHTAX`, `TOTALTAX`, `DESCR`, `DEFAULTPIC`, `ADTYPE`, `DESCR_2`) VALUES (110, 8620825, 'N', NULL, '5871 FL', '$1,025,000.0', 'DETACHED', 'COTTAGE', NULL, '589', '10', '4', '3', '1', NULL, '4', '$7,774.42', NULL, 'NULL', 'Beautiful');

The stored procedure:
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS TotalTaxProc $$

CREATE PROCEDURE TotalTaxProc(IN MLS INT(10), OUT MUNFLO FLOAT(10), OUT SCHINT FLOAT(10), OUT TOTTAX VARCHAR(10))
BEGIN

SET SCHFLO=0.0;
SET MUNFLO=0.0;
SET TOTTAX='';

SELECT MUNTAX FROM house WHERE MLS_NO=MLS INTO MUN;
SELECT SCHTAX FROM house WHERE MLS_NO=MLS INTO SCH;

SET MUNFLO=IFNULL(REPLACE(REPLACE(MUN, '$', ''), ',', ''), 0);
SET SCHFLO=IFNULL(REPLACE(REPLACE(SCH, '$', ''), ',', ''), 0);

SET TOTTAX=CONCAT('$', MUNFLO + SCHFLO ) ;

SET TOTTAX=CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TOTTAX, SUBSTRING(TOTTAX, -6), 1),',',SUBSTRING(TOTTAX, -6) );

UPDATE house SET TOTALTAX=TOTTAX WHERE MLS_NO=MLS;
END $$
DELIMITER ;

And finally the call,
CALL TotalTaxProc(8620825,@MUNINT,@SCHINT,@TOTTAX);
SELECT @MUNINT,@SCHINT,@TOTTAX;

So obviously I get just the comma, where the TOTTAX should be giving '$7,774.42'

A: I don't see anywhere in your code where you are setting the @TOTTAX user variable.  (You are modifying a procedure variable TOTTAX which is named similarly, but I don't see a reference to the user variable @TOTTAX anywhere, except in your call and the select.)
Is there a problem with the FORMAT function that prevents you from using it, rather than all those SUBSTRING and SUBSTRING_INDEX functions?
SET TOTTAX=CONCAT('$',FORMAT(MUNFLO+SCHFLO,2));

The FORMAT() function should take care of making sure there are two digits following the decimal add adding the comma separators, where you won't need to use all those SUBSTRING and SUBSTRING_INDEX index functions.

I'm going to echo spacediver's commment here: the UPDATE statement appears that it will update EVERY row in the house table, with the same value. (It may not be wrong, but it seems oddly peculiar, it would be wrong in most of my UPDATE statements, to not have a JOIN or a WHERE clause, some kind of predicate that specified which rows to update.)

UPDATE
You've updated your question (made some significant improvements)
It's bizarre that you are running two separate queries to get to different columns from (presumably) the same row. These two separate statements:
SELECT MUNTAX FROM house WHERE MLS_NO=MLS INTO MUN;
SELECT SCHTAX FROM house WHERE MLS_NO=MLS INTO SCH;

can be replaced with a single select:
SELECT MUNTAX, SCHTAX FROM house WHERE MLS_NO=MLS INTO MUN,SCH;

As far as I can tell, this line:
SET TOTTAX=CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(TOTTAX, SUBSTRING(TOTTAX, -6), 1),',',SUBSTRING(TOTTAX, -6) );

does not do anything useful. (It's not at all clear what this needs to do or check that the FORMAT() function can't do for you.  Why do you need line, what is it supposed to be doing?
You appear to be casting what is (apparently) a decimal value stored as formatted character strings (ACCCKKK!) to an INTEGER value, which is basically losing the two places after the decimal point.
You are then calculating a value as the sum of two other values in the row, and then assigning the result as a "formatted" character value to the TOTALTAX column. Curiously, you are assigning an INTEGER value back to the SCHTAX (character) column, which you were previously expecting to be a decimal value as a formatted string.
The code in your "Final solution" does not pass muster.
I don't see anything that is being accomplished here that couldn't be more easily done (and more easily understood) in a single SQL statement.
Assuming that MLS_NO column is unique (or that you are intending to update a single row using values that are already in the row), then
CREATE PROCEDURE TotalTaxProc(IN MLS INT(10))
BEGIN

UPDATE house
   SET TOTALTAX = CONCAT('$',FORMAT(
         IFNULL(REPLACE(REPLACE(MUNTAX, '$', ''), ',', ''), 0)
       + IFNULL(REPLACE(REPLACE(SCHTAX, '$', ''), ',', ''), 0)
       ,2))
 WHERE MLS_NO=MLS;

END $$

This is so much easier to understand, without all the procedure variables and SET statements, and all the gyrations.
This statement does differ in behavior from your procedure if there are multiple rows with the same MLS_NO.
This statement assigns a value to the TOTALTAX column which is derived from values in the same row. Your procedure, on the other hand, uses values from some one row with a matching MLS_NO, to  update all rows that have the same matching MLS_NO. (There's no difference if MLS_NO is unique, there's a difference if it is not unique.)
This also differs from the code in your "Final solution", in that isn't losing digits after the decimal point in the calculation of the value to be assigned to TOTALTAX (that could be easily added). (If you want to lose the digits, are you sure you want to do that BEFORE you add them together, or do you want to lose them AFTER you do the addition.
Also this statement differs in that its not reformatting the value of the SCHTAX column.  (That behavior could be easily added, with a simple addition to the same statement.)
Your procedure will change the value of the SCHTAX column from e.g. '$6,543.21' to '6543', not at all clear why you would need to do that.  (I was thinking there was possibly something in the SCHTAX and MUNTAX string values that weren't numeric, like '/yr', ' per year' or ' (paid 2012)' or  something else that you were intending to ignore, which is why you were storing this as character and then extracting the decimal value.

A: Final solution:
DELIMITER //
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS TotalTaxProc //

CREATE PROCEDURE TotalTaxProc(IN MLS INT(10))
BEGIN
DECLARE SCH VARCHAR(30);
DECLARE MUN VARCHAR(30);
DECLARE SCHFLO FLOAT(15,2);
DECLARE MUNFLO FLOAT(15,2);
DECLARE TOTTAX VARCHAR(30);

SET SCHFLO=0.00;
SET MUNFLO=0.00;
SET TOTTAX='';

SELECT MUNTAX FROM HOUSE WHERE MLS_NO=MLS INTO MUN;
SELECT SCHTAX FROM HOUSE WHERE MLS_NO=MLS INTO SCH;

SET MUNFLO=CAST( IFNULL(REPLACE(REPLACE(MUN, '$', ''),',',''), '0.00') * 100 AS DECIMAL);
SET SCHFLO=CAST( IFNULL(REPLACE(REPLACE(SCH, '$', ''),',',''), '0.00') * 100 AS DECIMAL);

SET TOTTAX=CONCAT('$',FORMAT(MUNFLO/100+SCHFLO/100,2));

UPDATE HOUSE SET TOTALTAX=TOTTAX WHERE MLS_NO=MLS;
END //
DELIMITER ;

and the call:
CALL TotalTaxProc(8620825);

Michael Malanga - filmmaker & actor
Our artist questionnaire with auteur Michael Malanga ...
Q: What is/are your media?
A: I hate saying i'm a writer but I do write all my own stuff. I direct as well but Acting is my baby. I really enjoy film, though I want to get back into doing theatre.
Q: How did you get started in your current field?
A: I studied with an acting teacher named Arthur Mendoza from 2008-11, he really gave me the "tools" I needed to write, film and act, even though it was just an acting class. Then I got sidetracked by working a job until 2015. I only knew acting at that point but I jumped into writing and filming, self teaching myself with trial and error. Camera settings and lighting I learned online through Youtube.
Q: How has your work evolved?
A: So when I first started I just tried to write and film things I thought were cool, or that other people would think were cool and enjoyed finding music to go with it. Whereas now 3 years later, I write and film things that draw emotion out of me, and have a lot of detail about the characters. I have a "step by step" process from beginning to end. Everything I film or write is intentional and everything has a meaning.
Q: What is your goal for your work?
A: My goal for my work is just to make people feel what I feel when I am writing my pieces. When I write sometimes I can't stop crying, or smiling, or feeling shock. Then I feel so alive afterward. I want people to experience that same journey.
Q: What projects are you most enjoying right now or most looking forward to next??
A: I'll be writing a new short film real soon so i'm really looking forward to that. Also directing a music video
Q: How do your surroundings affect your work?
A: I have no distractions around me. I used to get bored, and felt like i was going crazy but what eventually happened was that I started to fully embrace my ideas, story writing, filming and acting. Now I can spend all day just working on the details
Q: How do your relationships influence your work?
A: I have no relationships, that's the problem. I have a lot of cats ... I'm kidding. My family is my biggest influence. They support me, believe in me and have always been there for me. It's that love that drives me to try and perform at the best of my ability. I also have a friend that really puts things into a different perspective when I talk to him. Their criticism always helps me. I am very open to it now which helps sharpen my tools even more.
Q: What would you like people to take away from your work?
A: I want people to be able to look back on anything I write or film or act in and I want them to feel inspired by it. I want to give them a reference that they can look back to when they need help or feel lost or need motivation.
Q: What would you like to be doing ten years from now?
A: The same thing i'm doing now. Writing, acting, directing. I love it, it's my passion, it's all I like to talk about. I hope to be have a great impact on helping the homeless as well.
Q: What's your favorite aspect of the work you do?
A: My favorite aspect is trying to understand what makes "it" work. What elements are required to build a story? What makes a character interesting? What is the picture on the screen trying to tell us? I'm always trying to break things down so that I can put them back together in my own way.
Q: What would you like people to know about you?
A: I try not to take things too serious, or take things personal. We are all human, it's okay to be imperfect. I embrace my imperfections. And I don't judge myself as much as I used to, I became a lot happier after that, I hope others can learn to do the same.
Q: What would you like your legacy to be?
A: I want my legacy to be a story of how I achieved what I wanted to in life. That its never too late to go for your dream. That no one really ever gave me chance, and that probably actually helped me even more, cause I decided to create my own opportunities. That the glitz and glamour of it all faded away, and what really drove me to want success was simply to just to put a smile on my families face. An average Joe story. That if I can do it, anyone can do it.

How to prepare for the New Year in the USSR Bashny.Net
Before the holiday begins to prepare letom.Hotya even the basic elements of a holiday home preserved from the Soviet times, in those days, preparing the New Year in the traditional form was almost heroic.
To get the basic ingredients, such as salad, we had to work hard: in the free market did not have mayonnaise, green peas, sausage - stocking began in October.
C great difficulty getting out and drink is the main holiday - Soviet champagne. Editorial Website has decided to recall nostalgic collection as it was.
Initially, the New Year was not an official state holiday, but most families traditionally celebrate it along with Christmas, and the holiday was considered a family.
Christmas trees and Christmas decorations in the USSR
For the first time the New Year is officially celebrated until the end of 1936, after an article a prominent Soviet leader Paul Postysheva in the newspaper "Pravda».
"Why do we have schools, orphanages, nurseries, clubs, palaces of Pioneers are deprived of this wonderful pleasure children of workers of the Soviets? Some, not only as "left" distorters decried it as a bourgeois children's entertainment venture. It is the conviction of the wrong tree, which is great fun for children, to put an end. Komsomol, the pioneer of workers should make a New Year tree for children collective. In schools, children's homes, in the Palace of Pioneers, in the children's clubs, children's films and theaters - all children should be tree! City council, chairmen of regional executive committees, village councils, education authorities should help the Soviet device tree for the children of our great socialist motherland ».
New Year has allowed the state to celebrate, however, remained January 1 working day. Kremlin Christmas tree - the main tree of the entire Union, in 1938.
Column Hall of the House of Unions, in 1941.
The group of scouts of the Western Front in 1942 meets the new.

Photographer Emmanuel Evzerihin imprinted his family at the Christmas tree, 1954
1955. Students in vocational schools came to the Kremlin New Year's holiday in national costumes. Even the ladder tightly jammed, 1955.
1960. Costumes and Christmas tree decorations reflect the strength of the country: the divers and astronauts to Kremlin Christmas tree. The first satellite has been in orbit, and the film "The Amphibian Man" has not yet been removed.

Santa Claus in Kiev "Dynamo". He's trying to protect the basket of a throw world champion A. Belostenny 1983.
Omsk region. Santa Claus in a hurry for the holiday in 1988.
Tickets for the New Year tree for children, too difficult to reach them. And also need a costume snowflakes gauze or bunny outfit. The gift, which included were caramel and apples, and walnuts, provides parents with the trade union. Every kid's dream was to get to the main tree of the country - the first in the Column Hall of the House of Unions, and after 1954 - to the Kremlin Christmas tree.
Only after the war began to really develop the tradition of New Year celebrations in the USSR. Christmas decorations began to appear: first very skromnye- paper, cotton and other materials, and later - beautiful, bright, glass, similar to the pre-revolutionary decorating Christmas trees. By the end of 1960 it has been launched mass production of toys for the Christmas tree, and you could buy a pretty simple variants of plastic, usually with Soviet symbols.

Occasion prepared in advance. First, you need to purchase products - that is, "get", stand in the hour queues to get in grocery orders sprats, eggs, smoked sausage.

Required dishes on the holiday table: Olivier, aspic, jellied fish, carrot and beet salad, herring under a fur coat, pickled cucumbers and tomatoes.

Those who have had a familiar dealer at the grocery store, could afford to New Year brandy for 8 rubles 12 kopecks, champagne "Soviet" sweet, tangerines.
Ready-made cakes were also deficient, so basically had the furnace itself.
Or a long time to stand in line, like in this photo.
Dresses and podarkiKazhdoy Soviet woman most certainly needed a new fashionable dress is its could sew their own hands or in the studio, in rare cases - to buy from black marketeers; the store was the last place where you could find something.
Actress Clara Lucko at the Christmas tree, 1968.
Christmas gifts - another obstacle to Soviet citizens in the process of preparing for the New Year. With any product in the country was napryazhenka and with beautiful goods it was even worse, so our parents went to visit, taking champagne, sausage, preferably - "Servelat" canned exotic fruits (pineapple), a box of chocolates. Women on holiday gave the Soviet perfume stores which were in excess, the men - Cologne.
"Nothing paints the woman as hydrogen peroxide" - the joke becomes relevant on the eve of every New Year's celebrations in the Soviet Union. The phrase "beauty salon" did not know even the most fashionista. The hairdressers were recorded in a few weeks, the preparation of hairstyles, makeup and all the "New Year's appearance" demanded from the Soviet women as much time, creativity and independence - sometimes doing hairstyle girlfriend.
The last stage of preparation - wipe (to fix) television, which, as claimed by the postman Pechkin is "the best decoration New Year's table." "Carnival Night", "Irony of Fate", "New Adventures of Masha and Vitya," "Blue Light", "Frost" - Soviet films, transfer and cartoons in the morning, without which no Soviet citizen could not imagine a festive night.

It's not been a great summer for Arsenal so far, the almost-certain departure of Alexis Sanchez is set to leave a gap in their squad that may not be filled due to the club's unprecedented inability to offer Champions League Football next season.
Because of this, Arsene Wenger needs to be a lot more aggressive in the transfer window and to cut the man some slack it looks like he's already out chasing players having been recently spotted in Nice along with his Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis. reports coming out today all but confirmed that the pair were there on business.
Reports coming out today have all but confirmed that the pair were there on business and looking over what's been a particularly huge day of Arsenal news here are the developments that have broken so far.
The 21-year-old is versatile, can score and create goals, and at £30m would be a huge bargain, but Monaco have subsequently rejected Arsenal's approach for the star according to multiple media outlets.
Despite this Arsenal are expected to come back with a higher bid for the versatile midfielder and according to Goal.com Wenger believes that signing Lemar may open a gateway to push through a deal for his sought-after teammate Killian Mbappe (sigh) who is expected to make a final decision on his future when he returns from holiday.
The Mbappe deal doesn't look promising for Arsenal as the star is largely expected to stay at Monaco having been offered a 900% increase to his paycheck according to The Metro, on top of this if Mbappe is to leave it looks ever more likely that his future will be in Madrid.
But today's French smash and grab didn't end stop at Monaco as The Telegraph are reporting that Arsenal have also bid £56m on Alexandre Lacazette. Wenger had previously put in a bid for the striker believed to be in the region of about £44m but it was subsequently rejected with Lyon's President Jean-Michel Aulas saying that he expects to receive at least £57m for the 26-year old.
The Gunners have also been in touch with Leicester about former Ligue 1 player Ryad Mahrez with the Algerian expected to cost around the same as Lemar.
All in all, it looks like Arsenal have offered over £85m for players today and it has yet to be seen whether they will have anything to show for their work.

Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 760x2...
In the last four months, we watched Nvidia revamp its high-end graphics card line-up using year-old GPUs based on the Kepler architecture. Hey, I'm not hating. GK110 wasn't even available to desktop gamers prior to the GeForce GTX Titan's introduction. And while I wasn't a huge fan of GeForce GTX 780, I certainly "got" the reason for a cut-back version of the $1000 flagship. GeForce GTX 770 was a more practical introduction, replacing GeForce GTX 680 with a little extra speed at a dramatically lower price—and the rebranded GK104-based board earned our Smart Buy award as a result.
And now we have another graphics card based on GK104 to test: the GeForce GTX 760. In case you're counting, that makes an astounding six models based on one GPU (GeForce GTX 690, 680, 670, 660 Ti, 770, and now the 760). Talk about getting your mileage worth.
Upon its release, the GeForce GTX 760 introduced GeForce GTX 670- and Radeon HD 7950-class speed at a $250 price point, displacing the Tahiti-based Radeon HD 7870 LE with even more performance per dollar. As a result, this GK104-powered card is one of our favorite recommendations for frame rate-hungry gamers.
Of course, those six boards utilize GK104 in varying configurations, from its full 1536 CUDA cores down to 1344. Actually, there was an OEM-only GeForce GTX 660 that Nvidia launched last year with 1152 CUDA cores (or just six of the GPU's eight total SMX blocks) enabled...
GK104 Rides Again
...and that's the arrangement being introduced today. Nvidia enables six of GK104's eight Streaming Multiprocessors across three or four of its Graphics Processing Clusters. This is similar to the approach taken on GeForce GTX 780, equipped with a trimmed GK110 GPU. In essence, the company doesn't always know which of its chips' resources are going to be defective. So, it can turn off two SMXes in one GPC or one SMX in two different GPCs.
In either case, you end up with 1152 total CUDA cores and 96 texture units. GK104's back-end remains intact though, consisting of four ROP clusters that output eight 32-bit integer pixels per clock each, maxing out at 32. Similarly, four 64-bit memory controllers create a 256-bit aggregate interface.
At least at first, GeForce GTX 760s will sport 2 GB of GDDR5 memory operating at 1502 MHz, just like the GeForce GTX 670 and 680, pushing up to 192.2 GB/s. This is probably the 760's biggest advantage against GeForce GTX 660 Ti. A 192-bit memory bus limits that card's bandwidth to 144.2 GB/s, which hurts at higher resolutions with anti-aliasing cranked up.
GeForce GTX 760 also compensates for a less-complex GPU configuration through higher core clock rates. Its GK104 runs at 980 MHz (base), but is rated for a GPU Boost clock rate of 1033 MHz. That's more aggressive than GeForce GTX 660 Ti and 670, both armed with 1344-shader incarnations of GK104 set at a 915 MHz base frequency. What you're going to see in the benchmarks is that some workloads tend to favor shader count, others react to the GPU's clock rate, and a third group enjoys memory bandwidth.
Meet Nvidia's Reference GeForce GTX 760
I really grew to admire the GeForce GTX 770 that Nvidia sent over for review. The reference design featured the same sleek thermal solution as GeForce GTX Titan on a product I could actually afford. But Nvidia's board partners deviated from that configuration unanimously, going to market mostly with two-or three-fan coolers, which I frankly don't care for as much.
It looks like the same thing is going to happen with GeForce GTX 760. The reference card appears identical to GeForce GTX 670. We also received four partner boards, though, and they all lean on proprietary heat sink and fan combinations. This doesn't bother me so much. Whereas I was a big fan of the 770's aluminum shroud, polycarbonate window, and heat-exhausting centrifugal fan, the 760's plastic cooler isn't as hard to part ways with.
Nevertheless, the reference GeForce GTX 760 is 9.5" long; its PCB only accounts for 6.75" of that. Nvidia claims that the 760's scaled-back power requirements allowed it to move voltage regulation circuitry to the other (left) side of the GPU.
We remain fans of centrifugal blowers for their ability to push waste heat out of your case, rather than recirculating it. Unfortunately, board partners seem less concerned about this, and are using axial fans able to spin more quietly at the expense of carefully directed cooling.
Despite its two deactivated SMXes, GeForce GTX 760 sports the same 170 W maximum graphics card power rating as GeForce GTX 670. That's 25 W less than GeForce GTX 680 and 60 W less than the more recently-introduced GeForce GTX 770, both of which employ the same GK104 processor. Since a 16-lane PCI Express slot only delivers 75 W of power, you still need two six-pin auxiliary connectors to drive the GTX 760.
The 760 offers the same four display outputs seen on all of Nvidia's other 600- and 700-series cards lately: two dual-link DVI connectors (one DVI-I and one DVI-D), one full-sized HDMI output, and one full-sized DisplayPort connector. All four can be active simultaneously, partly addressing AMD's Eyefinity technology, which we've seen enable up to six screens on one card.

Damn I love nVidia

This doesn't look faster than the 7950 boost to me. Maybe you should check your scores and update your conclusion to reflect reality?
TheBigTroll 25 June 2013 13:28
it isnt supposed to be faster than the 7950. they are about the same

Re-read the conclusion in question below. He doesn't say it is faster, he says this card will replace Don's recommendation for best $250 card and displace the 7950 Boost. ie. Don won't be recommending a $300 card that trades blows or barely beats a $250 card. If both were to end up $250, things change.
quote - "A quick reference to Best Graphics Cards For The Money: June 2013 shows that Don is currently recommending the Tahiti-based Radeon HD 7870 for $250. With almost certainty, the GeForce GTX 760 will take that honor next month, displacing the Radeon HD 7950 with Boost at $300 in the process."

Chris, what is it about the GTX 580 that makes it so slow for the CUDA Fluidmark
test, given it does so well for the other CUDA tests, especially iRay and Blender?
Btw, I don't suppose you could include 580 SLI results for the game tests? ;)
Or do you have just the one 580?
My only gripe with the 760 is the misuse of a model number which allows one to
infer it should be quicker than older cards with 'lesser' names (660, etc.) when
infact it's often slower. I really wish NVIDIA would stop releasing products that
exhibit such enormous performance overlap. Given the evolutionary nature of
GPUs, and the time that has passed since the 600s launched, one might
reasonably expect a 760 to beat the 670 too, but it never does. To me, the
price drop is the only thing it has going for it. The endless meddling with shader
numbers, clocks, bus width, etc., creates an utter muddle of performance
response depending on the game. One really has to judge based on the
individual game rather than any general product description or spec summary.
I just hope Skyrim players with 660s don't upgrade on the assumption newer
model names mean better performance, but I expect some will.

GTX760 is an upgrade for GTX460/560 user and of all of that u didnt throw in those cards to bench with. Seriously?

Nice review as per usual Chris.
Amazing performance at 250$. The 265bit memory interface does wonders for GK104.
Now I am wondering if there will even be a GTX760ti, while there is a large enough gap in the product stack, I have a feeling there is a chance there may not be a "ti" version.
Anyone know more?

AMD will have to release a new interim Radeon series, the existing family is not to outdated to be stretched to much longer.
Mousemonkey 25 June 2013 14:10
For those of us who fold it ain't no show stopper is it? :lol:
horaciopz 25 June 2013 14:12
So, maybe there will be an GTX 760 ti, for about 300 bucks with the peformance of a GTX 670... Uh? nVidia really should. This remembers the gtx 400 series and 500 series... nVidia is doing it all over again.
