Making sense of our connected world
How Love Steaks almost changed the German film industry
If the inside magazine "The Hollywood reporter" is writing about a German film school movie, it is worth reading, especially when it is connected in the next sentence to a new movement of filmmakers: "the first film of what could potentially become a new filmmaking movement – called Fogma, with a clear wink to Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg's Dogme 95 manifesto that kicked of a renaissance in Danish cinema – Love Steaks combines improvisation in scenes with a planned overall narrative structure."[1] Love Steaks, directed by Jakob Lass was produced by the German film school "Konrad Wolf" in Potsdam-Babelsberg and tells the uncommon love-story of two employees in a hotel at the German Baltic sea coast, who rebel against the rules they are living in. The film won several prizes, national and international and is nominated for the German Film Award this year.
Not only this announcement and the fact that Love Steaks is in German cinemas now, but also the way how it found its way into the theaters, gives an opportunity to have a look on how films are being distributed in the digital era. In the protected space of German film schools a large number of films is being produced of which only a few are able to attract public attention. Due to funding from public institutions (Filmförderung) only a few get the attention beyond certain critics. This dependence on public funding is not a unique feature of student films but can be seen in the entire German film industry. In 2011 about 40% of all production costs came from public funding (Goldhammer, Castendyk 2012, p. 109). The judicial basis for the public funding is described in the German film promotion act (Filmförderungsgesetz) in which the structure of different regional and federal institutions is described as well.
In this act it is also regulated that film under the support of public funding have to be screened in cinemas first before they can be sold on DVD, to pay-TV, free-TV and video-on-demand.
Because Love Steaks was financed only by the film school itself, the filmmakers Ines Schiller, Golo Schultz and Jacob Lass were able to develop a certain marketing concept called cine stream, which allows a parallel distribution in cinemas and via stream. It was planned to stream the movie for a similar price as in cinemas as long as it is screened here via the cinemas website. The plan failed because of the resistance of the film theaters association (AG Kino) as it Martin Hagemann, film producer and mentoring professor at the "Konrad Wolf" film school. As a reason Hagemann named the fear of loss of audience in the cinemas and according to this the loss of revenues by selling popcorn and coke. "The one who streams buys his popcorn elsewhere" as he claims in an interview with the author of this article. The number of viewers in cinemas is indeed decreasing in the last years. In 1999 about 141 million people went to cinemas in Germany, while in 2013 it decreased to 128 million (FFA 2014). The reasons are complex. Also the revenues in the DVD market went down from 1.750 million in 2004 to 1.140 million in 2013 (BVV, GFK 2013, p.18). Only the sales volume of Blue-Ray-Discs is still growing.
The biggest growth potential can be registered in the video-on-demand market. In a recent study of Goldmedia consulting a significant increase until 2018 is predicted, especially for the S-VoD subscription market (Goldmedia 2014).
These market changes are not a new phenomenon and are especially in the US-market advanced. Subscription-video-on-demand is much more common in the U.S. Netflix produces award-winning series like House of Cards and Lilyhammer and the market entry of Netfilx in Germany is assumed for this year. In his survey of the U.S.-market a few years ago Thorsten Hennig-Thurau examines the consequences of the parallel distribution in cinemas and on video-on-demand. "Our results suggest that recent industry speculation about simultaneous channel releases called a death threat by theater owners would indeed be devastating for movie theaters. However, such a change might be financially attractive to movie studios and DVD-retailers if executed in the U.S. market, though externalities must be considered if the theater channel were to be irreparably damaged." (Hennig-Thurau 2007, p. 79) The studios hope for rising revenues by unchanging marketing costs. That these results are cannot be transferred directly to the German market can be explained in different market structures and in the different international potential of German and American movies. Such a development would require a refocusing of the movie theatre owners in Germany. Mr. Hagemann sees a lot of potential in the screening of live-events like operas, premieres or soccer-games which gives the theaters a relevance and quality that could not be imitated at home, the watching of content in a group and on a big screen.
The origin of these inflexible and exclusive distribution windows for public funded movies can be found in the revenues that can be generated in a cascade manner. This model was created decades ago and is approved until now. With the growing number of broadband connections it is possible for more and more households to watch movie online. According to the German technological industry association (BITKOM) 85% of German households are provided by broadband connections (BITKOM 2014). The creation of the exclusive distribution windows can be explained according Hennig-Thurau as follows: "The exiting model of distribution for movies with its blocking blocking periods and passive users was created during the 1980s. Remember: it was developed as a reaction of the film studios to the rise of video tapes and video stores – it was the first time users were allowed to take a movie home." (Blickpunkt:Film 27+28/12, p. 18) That these times have changed can be seen in the development of a certain funding program of the European union in 2012 to promote the parallel release in cinemas and on VoD, the so called day-and-date-release. Because the movies are still under production, there can be no answers if the projects are successful.
The British cinema chain Curzion Cinemas gives an example of how movies can be distributed in cinema and on VoD simultaneously. Although no exact numbers are available and this concept only seems to work with the support of EUs MEDIA program, it shows how the movie theaters may develop to survive market changes. Finally the distribution company that brought Love Steaks into cinemas is going to establish itself in the German market although it is not a generic distribution company. It's main business was in the music sector, an industry that has learned to react on heavy market changes.

The Next Chapter: Allie Gonino sheds light on her vast creative endeavors, passion for giving back, and upcoming new music.
By Jennifer Crim on March 15, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )
On a Friday night in Nashville, Tennessee, Allie Gonino sat down to talk with heirwaves about her new music, her ever-present voice in activism, and what the next chapter looks like for her.
After playing a sold-out writer's round at the iconic Nashville venue, The Bluebird Cafe, Allie muses, "It's not only cool to be in this place where the giants of country music have played, but the fact that I get to play with Tom Hambridge and amazing songwriters like Jim Collins, it's fun because it's casual, it's no pressure, and I always enjoy my time here."
Having previously been a part of two bands, Allie is no stranger to the stage. "Being in a girl band is completely different from being in a band from all guys," she shares, about her previous projects: The Stunners, a pop girl band who opened Justin Bieber's My World Tour, and The Good Mad, who performed frequently on her ABC Family show The Lying Game. "Each experience has been so different and I've realized throughout the process of being a solo artist that I really love being in a band."
From egos clashing, to creative differences Allie admits there are downsides that come with being in a band. "From a creative standpoint, it's easier to be a solo artist because i'm in charge of the sound, the look, everything. But at the same time, it's nice to be on stage with other people and have that support and energy. I always loved that."
But now, she stands on that stage alone in her new venture as a solo artist. "I have had the blessing and the curse of not being signed to the label," she says, taking a deep breath, "So, I've had the creative freedom to evolve my music and express myself in the way that I want to – for better or worse." In a time when genre isn't easily defined, she's not letting herself be boxed into any set sound. "My style is ALWAYS changing! The album I'm recording right now I'm calling 'Texi-Cali' because it features a lot of my Texas roots but also the influences and inspirations that I've garnered from living in LA for so long."
I love this song so much. #Shallow
A post shared by Allie Gonino (@go_nino) on Jan 13, 2019 at 1:14pm PST
As a songwriter, she finds inspiration is all facets of life – even the vulnerable pieces that are difficult to share. "Any time I sing is a vulnerable moment!" She exclaimed. Pulling from those more unguarded moments, Allie shared a new song during her round called "The Good Men", written about 'the good men' left in society who don't receive the attention. "I've been doing this for so long and it never gets easier or less uncomfortable," she says, "but that's part of the craft. There have definitely been moments when I've performed and I've almost cried, but you just have to keep going."
"I choose to write about love – that's something that is universal and effects everyone no matter who you are." – Allie Gonino
Finding a passion in another outlet in the form of giving back, Allie is also a prominent activist, often using social media to bring attention to the causes she deeply cares about. "I've been working pretty hard on fundraising to build a school in Malawi through BuildOn. We're going to implement an adult literacy program in Malawi and then we're going to implement a service learning program in Oakland, which will give 36 students the opportunity to further their education by being of service in their community." After the interview, Allie jumped on a plane back to California where she participated in a 22-hour live stream event to fundraise for BuildOn.
As if her acting and music projects and charity work were not enough – she is working on a film script, children's book, and a new album. "I'm just going to keep practicing all of my talents," she says, trusting that her journey will lead her exactly where she needs to be. As far as her music, while many artists are turning to politically charged lyrics, Allie chooses love. "I choose to write about love – that's something that is universal and effects everyone no matter who you are. It applies to everybody."
With a passion for her art emanating through her determination to succeed, paired with her hypnotic voice and soothing melodies, there is an immense amount on the horizon for Allie, and we can't wait to see what's next.

The Israeli Military Court of Appeal Confirms the Release of Child Detainee Amal Nakhleh
On 10 December 2020, the Israeli military court of appeal confirmed the release of child detainee Amal Nakhleh, 16 years old, after 40 days in incarceration. The decision was taken based on Amal's age and physical and psychological health, as he suffers from a rare disease called myasthenia gravis, which requires regular medication and special care. In addition, Amal recently underwent surgery to remove a cancerous mass in his chest, and as a result, suffers from severe headaches and shortness of breath.
During the appeal session, the military prosecutor insisted on keeping Amal in detention. As not only did they appeal Ofer military court's previous decision to release him, they further requested an additional 72 hours to possibly issue an administrative detention order against Amal. The military court of appeal rejected both requests and ruled for Amal's release.
The Israeli occupation systematically targets and arrests Palestinian children in an attempt to oppress and threaten a future Palestinian generation. Palestinian children are not afforded the protection they are entitled to under many international conventions and treaties, mainly the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which Israel ratified in October 1991. They are subjected to different forms of psychological and physical torture, including policies of intimidation and harsh punishments that prevent them from living and growing up in dignity and health.
It should be noted that Amal was arrested on 2 November 2020 from a random Israeli check-point between the two towns of Atara and Birzeit, north of Ramallah. The Israeli Occupation Forces assaulted Amal, tied him, and severely beat him during his arrest. The military prosecutor presented Amal with a list of charges based on throwing stones, a common allegation against Palestinian children.
The Israeli Prison Services treat children the same way as adult prisoners without considering the specificity of their circumstances. As of the end of November 2020, the number of child prisoners reached 170, including two in administrative detention. The arrest of Palestinian children has a destructive impact on the level of children's mental health, as losing trust and protection and being pulled away from family disrupts the character formation process and alienates the children from their families and society.

Drifters / Love Is The Devil
Zoo Music
ZM 015 CD
2XLP $20.25
ZM 015 LP
Dirty Beaches, a.k.a. Alex Zhang Hungtai, started off as a one-man band in 2005 in Montreal. A trans-Pacific nomad and genre-hopping sound-smith, he has released music ranging from drone instrumentals to film scores, and possesses a fascination for dissecting popular American music like blues, rockabilly, soul, R&B and hip hop, often rendering it to a point where it is no longer recognizable.
Hungtai's latest release, Drifters / Love Is the Devil, is a sprawling double-album that chronicles the musician's life on the road over the past two years—through the labyrinths of Berlin, Belgrade, Paris, and many other cities; through heartbreak, rebirth and masochistic, existential self-reflection.
Recorded between Montreal and Berlin in the winter of 2012, the two halves of Drifters / Love Is the Devil are separated only by aesthetics, as they are tightly woven together thematically as one conceptual piece. If 2011's Badlands was an exercise in exorcising past ghosts in a semi-fictional world, then Drifters / Love Is the Devil is a reflection on the fragility of reality—that of the outside world in which the artist explores the nightlife of bright neon temptations and hedonistic values, and that of the inner world, one of remorse and lovelorn tragedies.

Share this Story: Rookies power Maroons past Lincolns
Rookies power Maroons past Lincolns
Rookies did all the scoring for the Chatham Maroons in a 5-1 win over the St. Marys Lincolns on Friday.
Mark Malone
Nov 20, 2021 • December 13, 2021 • 2 minute read • Join the conversation
Chatham Maroons' Dylan Glinski plays against the St. Marys Lincolns at Chatham Memorial Arena in Chatham, Ont., on Sunday, Oct. 17, 2021. Mark Malone/Chatham Daily News/Postmedia Network
Dylan Glinski scored two goals while David Brown, Owen Sculthorp and Warren Clark added one apiece before 497 fans at the Pyramid Recreation Centre in St. Marys.
Rookies power Maroons past Lincolns Back to video
"The rookies, we're doing pretty well," said forward Connor Paronuzzi, third on the Maroons' rookie scoring list. "The vets help us out on the ice, and (so do) the coaches. We owe it all to them developing us well."
The Maroons outshot the Lincolns 51-24 for their second straight win and third in four games.
The Maroons are on a five-game point streak (3-0-0-2). They're in fourth place in the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League's Western Conference with a 10-5-1-2 record for 23 points, one behind the Leamington Flyers.
Maroons goalie Luka Dobrich made 23 saves. He lost his shutout when Eric Lalonde scored with 33 seconds left in the third period.
Glinski scored in the first period and Brown in the second for a 2-0 lead.
Brown and Paronuzzi have spent most of the season as linemates. They've skated lately with fellow rookie Cameron Graham.
"We really feed off each other really good," Paronuzzi said. "Graham, he's good at working down low behind the net. He owns behind the net. And me and Browner have pretty great chemistry, building it up pre-season, all summer. We've been working pretty well together."
Glinski scored his team-leading 13th goal 1:31 into the third for a 3-0 lead. He finished with three points.
Sculthorp and Clark also tallied in the final frame as the Maroons outshot the Lincolns 19-7. Issac LeGood had two assists.
Ex-Maroons goalie Bryce Walcarius combined with Ryan Wheeler for 46 saves in the Lincolns' net.
The Maroons will host the first-place London Nationals (13-3-0-1) at 3:30 p.m. Sunday at Chatham Memorial Arena.
Kings' skid hits seven games
The Dresden Kings' losing streak reached seven games Friday with a 4-1 defeat to the Amherstburg Admirals in the Provincial Junior Hockey League's Stobbs Division.
Jace Leach scored late in the third period for the Kings (2-10-1-0) in front of 135 fans at the Ken Houston Memorial Agricultural Centre.
Kings goalie Owen Lemieux made 37 saves, while Nicholas Bolton of the Admirals stopped 33.
Owen Papulkas scored twice for the Admirals, who potted two in the first period and two in the third for a 4-0 lead. Max Clifford and Brandon Salvati added singles.
The Kings will visit the Lakeshore Canadiens on Friday, Nov. 26, and the Blenheim Blades on Saturday, Nov. 27.

Tomac planning to 'go for it' in a bid to clinch title early
450SX leader could wrap series up with a round to spare on Wednesday.
Runaway Monster Energy Supercross championship leader Eli Tomac is in position to capture the 2020 crown with a round to spare tomorrow in Salt Lake City.
The 27-year-old is on track to win his first 450SX title with Monster Energy Kawasaki and intends to seal it if he's in position to win on Wednesday.
Tomac currently has a 24-point lead over Ken Roczen (Team Honda HRC) and another point over Cooper Webb (Red Bull KTM) with two rounds remaining. Victory tomorrow will be enough to take the championship, which is part of his game-plan at this point.
"It would be nice, it would be really nice," Tomac said. "I mean, if the start is there and I'm in the position, heck yeah, I'm gonna go for it, but I've gotta think long-game at this point. So, if the start's there and the opportunity is there, heck yeah, I'm gonna go for it."
After entering the seven races in Utah with a slim three-point buffer, Tomac has taken two wins and consistent podiums to set himself up for a shot at the title in SLC6 – potentially his first championship since stepping up to the premier class in 2014.
"I think I'm in a good spot right now," he added. "I'm still in a position to where if I go perform good next week and win, I can control my own destiny that way. So yeah, I'm happy right now. That's really all I have to say – I'm in a good spot, I think."

here is what I have done so far to get the results I wanted:
e = defaultdict(dict)
for i in range(len(ts_results)):
    for key, value in tables.items():
        e[key]['timesamp'] = str(ts_results[i])
        e[key]['cost'] = 0

what is the best way of achieving this  solution?

A: Without using additional libraries, you could do something like:
dict_by_time = {}
# for over your dict (called d here)
dict_by_time = {}
for k,v in d.items():
    for record in v:
        t = record["timestamp"]
        if t not in dict_by_time:
            dict_by_time[t] = {}
        dict_by_time[t].update({k:record})

This will give you a dict indexed by the timestamp string, if you want only the values, you can use:
list(dict_by_time.values())

A: This is based on Ángel Igualada's answer, but corrects how he creates the nested dictionaries.
dict_by_time = {}
# for over your dict (called d here)
for k,v in d.items():
    for record in v:
        t = record["timestamp"]
        d = dict_by_time.get(t, {})
        d[k] = record
        dict_by_time[t] = d

result = list(dict_by_time.values())

List of 5 Upcoming Bajaj Motorcycle Launches in 2015
The Pulsar CS400 of the Auto Expo 2014.
Bajaj has been slipping in monthly sales but has some fantastic product launches lined up which are expected to bring it back to the reckoning. This includes products in the mass market segment as well as the more powerful niche segments.
The recent launch of the Discover 150F has got them the dividends and here is a list of all what is coming next from the second largest motorcycle manufacturer in India…
List of Upcoming Bajaj Motorcycles in 2015
1. Pulsar 200SS
Launch date: Early 2015
Expected Price: Rs 1.2-1.3 lakhs on road
The Bajaj Pulsar brand's best ever product so far is undoubtedly the 200NS. And the company is preparing its first ever fully faired motorcycles which will take things ahead for them. To be called as Pulsar 200SS, it will be Bajaj's most astonishing looker and has already hogged a lot of limelight!
It will come with fuel injection and the same engine of Pulsar 200NS and may get ABS as optional. There is a very minor power increment expected and will come with front projector headlamps and eyebrow like pilot lamps.
Check Spyshots & complete coverage of Pulsar 200SS
2. Pulsar 150NS
Launch date: First half of 2015
Expected Price: Rs 70,000-80,000
The largest selling 150cc motorcycle in the country is due for a major update. Looks are a replica of the 200NS and it will get a lot of feature add-ons from its elder sibling as well, like mono-shock absorbers, triple spark ignition and others. There are speculative bits which report about the possibility of a bigger 160cc engine but we are not sure about it at this point.
The game changer will be the power output which most probably will be class-leading and may only be lesser than the R15!
Spyshots & complete coverage of Pulsar 150NS
3. New Platina
Launch date: mid 2015 (expected)
A new comprehensively updated Platina will be the next thing coming from Bajaj. While the Pulsars are centred towards enthusiasts, the new Platina will get them the much needed volumes in the mass 100cc segment, where Bajaj just doesn't have any stronghold! There may be improvements to the looks as well as the engine and rideability.

4. Discover 125:
Launch date: unknown
Wait what? Another Discover? Yes, Bajaj is reportedly working on a new Discover model which will be 125cc. So, amidst a lot of Discover Ms and Ts, there may be another alphabet joining the ring, or some of them may get axed! Not much is known about the new motorcycle at this moment and let's see how does Bajaj manage to spice it up this time!
Launch date: Only coded in the dark alleys of Rajiv Bajaj's brain
Expected Price: Rs 1.6-1.8 lakhs
This is one motorcycle that has been keeping everyone on their toes – enthusiasts as well as rivals! With an expected power output of about 40PS and a price tag of approx Rs 1.8 Lakhs, Pulsar 400SS will go on to become a sheer value for money muscle monger. Though, its expected launch month can not be predicted at this point of time, there are all the chances and hints that the motorcycle should launch within the year 2015.
Expect it to come towards the second half of the year. It will be the most powerful Pulsar yet and may come with ABS as standard!
Complete coverage of Pulsar 400SS
I know you were expecting the gorgeous Pulsar 400CS (Cruiser Sports) to be listed here somewhere in the list but according to what we understand, it is more of a 2016 probable, unless Bajaj has some surprise in store for all of us!


"I absolutely love Valued Homes! I have never been to a business where they treat you more like family. They are all about helping to get us into a new home even to go as far as helping us fix our credit.


Well, we've spoken about how 2015 will be the 'Connected' everything year, and here's another one to hit the market, this time, it's LUNA, a smart bed that learns how you like to sleep, helping to manage temperatures between the sheets and for both sides of the bed, along with heart rate and breathing patterns.
It also pulls in data from other sources like Health on your iPhone and your various fitness wearables to see if your sleep patterns need to be altered to get the best night's rest. From $250 USD.
Um, this is amazing. I feel like Luna and I would be best friends if this was in my house!

Jazz up your holidays with the latest in lights
Clark Griswold would be proud.
Thanks to advances in lighting technology, suburban dads (and moms) across the country have a lot to choose from when it comes to creative ways to deck their halls for the holidays this year.
Forget about white incandescent lights and animatronic reindeer.
Think lasers. Think smartphones. And hundreds, if not millions, of color choices.
Single light bulbs that hold three LEDs — red, green and blue — are the secret behind a new category of holiday lights that offer up to 16 million color combinations.
Known as RGB lights, they can be dialed up or down in a variety of ways via a smartphone app. And because their color range is so varied, they can be kept up year-round and used for any number of holidays — Halloween, the Fourth of July, Easter, you name it.
Lumenplay offers the most colors by far at more than 16 million. The exotic lighting system doesn't come cheap ($79.99 for a starter pack) and is only available in 10-foot strands. But you can string as many as 500 lights together on one controller, which comes with the starter pack.
GE also offers RGB lighting technology with its new iTwinkle light sets and pre-lit Christmas trees, while Texas-based decorating firm Christmas Décor is offering the lights as an option for holiday customers this year.
'Smart' lights
All the talk of RGB technology leads right into the next holiday lighting trend this year — "smart" lights or lighting systems controlled by your smartphone.
Both the Lumenplay and iTwinkle systems are operated via apps available for Apple and Android phones.
With just a swipe of your screen, you can dim or brighten outdoor lights, set them to music, or choose new colors and patterns.
With iTwinkle, you can even record a greeting to play, like "Happy Holidays" or "Merry Christmas," spokeswoman Amanda Hayes says.

Layout for the publication "Landscape as Wunderkammer"
Landscape as a Cabinet of Curiosities. In Search of a Position
Conversation with Günther Vogt
If there is no such thing as nature as a whole – perhaps there is landscape as a cabinet of curiosities. Thereby, in the best of cases, this lack of wholeness seems to be a gain rather than a loss. What is required for this kind of reinterpretation is an attentive observer who collects the various phenomena as individual elements, relates them to each other, and rearranges them. Günther Vogt is one such collector, and his cabinet of curiosities can reveal both landcapes and his approach to them.
With reference to five different locations, Günther Vogt speaks about current themes of landscape architecture and its relationship to architecture and the city, about his teaching at the ETH Zurich, and about the work of Vogt Landscape Architects. This book, which ultimately searches for a position, can, in a way, itself be read as a cabinet of curiosities, for it offers an insight into the multifaceted cosmos of Günther Vogt`s thought and work.

Mon, Feb 11th 2013 03:00 pm
Pope Benedict XVI announced on Feb. 11, 2013, that he will resign, effective Feb. 28, 2013. At Vatican City, he told a gathering of cardinals, "After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths due to an advanced age are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only by words and deeds but no less with prayer and suffering."


For more than two decades, the Ford School has hosted an annual student-led fundraising effort that spans both semesters and raises money for a nonprofit nominated and selected by students. The initiative is headed by members of the Charity Auction Committee, who plan small events throughout the year that culminate in a school-wide formal including both silent and live auctions.
The Charity Auction and other fundraising events are more than just fun, slightly quirky, opportunities for the Ford School to come together for a great cause. In the past decade alone, these events have raised over $121,000 for non-profit organizations local and international. The tradition continues in the 2016-17 school year, with proceeds going toward the Flint Child Health and Development Fund of the Foundation for Flint.
This year's Charity Auction will benefit the Flint Child Health and Development Fund, otherwise known as the Flint Kids Fund. The fund awards grants to support the long-term needs of Flint children exposed to lead. This includes nutrition education, integrated social services, health services, and early childhood education.
The Charity Auction fundraising events this fall included a trivia night at the Blue Leprechaun on October 20 and a No-Shave November. For the month of November, students and professors gathered pledges to grow certain styles of facial hair (or to go clean shaven for those who normally sport beards). The month raised a total of $1,250 in pledged support.
Upcoming events this semester include a bowling night at Revel & Roll on January 31, a series of Top Chef Bake-Offs in March, and the culmination of the fundraising year at the Charity Auction itself on April 1, 2017.
What will this year's silent and live auctions hold? The Charity Auction Committee will start accepting in-kind donations starting in the winter semester. They are hoping to have at least 60 items donated by local businesses and Ford School community members. Submissions run the gamut from excursions with faculty members to donated items from local businesses. Last year, the most popular item sold was the "Youngish Faculty Cocktail Party," hosted by Megan Tompkins-Stange, Kevin Stange, and other "youngish" faculty. The party went to a group of students for $2,350. Another crowd favorite was Alli Zimmerman's donation of "time with Hugo," her puppy.
This year's Charity Auction committee members are: John Guerriero (MPP '17), Kate Naranjo (MPP '17), Ivy Tran (MPP '17), Jonathan Beam (MPP '18), Diego Campos (MPP '18), and Lydia Miller (MPP '18).

The International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) is an intergovernmental organization whose members are supreme audit institutions. Nearly every supreme audit institution in the world is a member of INTOSAI. Depending on the type of system used in their home country, the members of INTOSAI may be variously titled the Chief Financial Controller, the Office of the Comptroller General, the Office of the Auditor General, the Court of Accounts, or the Board of Audit.

INTOSAI holds a triennial conference entitled the International Congress of Supreme Audit Institutions (INCOSAI).
It publishes the quarterly International Journal of Government Auditing and publishes guidelines and international standards on auditing.

History
INTOSAI was founded in 1953 in Havana, Cuba. Thirty-four audit organizations formed the group originally and as of 2010 the current membership includes 193 institutions (188 national institutions, the European Court of Auditors and 4 associated members).

The members of INTOSAI are the primary external auditors of the United Nations. The UN's General Assembly appoints the UN Board of Auditors (3 members appointed for 6 years) among the INTOSAI member representatives.

The ISSAIs, International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions
The International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions (ISSAI) are a benchmark for auditing public entities (External Audit Standards for public entities).

The "INTOSAI Auditing Standards" had been approved by the INCOSAI in 1998 and updated in 2001. In its strategic plan 2005–2010, the INTOSAI decided to "provide an up-to-date framework of professional standards", so the INTOSAI Professional Standards Committee decided to merge the existing and new INTOSAI standards and guidelines into a framework.

The framework comprises all documents endorsed by INCOSAI with the purpose of guiding the professional standards used by SAIs

The list of ISSAIs is in the table below:
Auditing Standards (ISSAI-numbers of 3 digits) stipulate general principles and postulates for carrying out the audit work;
Implementation Guidelines (ISSAI-numbers of 4 digits) give more detailed guidance, practical assistance to SAIs in implementing the Standards in their individual constituents.

The three main types of public-sector audit

Financial Audit
Financial audit focuses on determining whether an entity's financial information is presented in accordance with the applicable financial reporting and regulatory framework. This is accomplished by obtaining sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to enable the auditor to express an opinion as to whether the financial information is free from material misstatement due to fraud or error.

Performance Audit
Performance audit focuses on whether interventions, programmes and institutions are performing in accordance with the principles of economy, efficiency and effectiveness and whether there is room for improvement. Performance is examined against suitable criteria, and the causes of deviations from those criteria or other problems are analysed. The aim is to answer key audit questions and to provide recommendations for improvement.

Compliance Audit
Compliance audit focuses on whether a particular subject matter is in compliance with authorities identified as criteria. Compliance auditing is performed by assessing whether activities, financial transactions and information are, in all material respects, in compliance with the authorities which govern the audited entity. These authorities may include rules, laws and regulations, budgetary resolutions, policy, established codes, agreed terms or the general principles governing sound public sector financial management and the conduct of public officials.

Examples of publications
Examples of its major publications are:
Guidelines for Internal Control Standards for the Public Sector (1992 - The current text is the 2004 revision by the INTOSAI Internal Control Standards Committee, approved by the XVIIIth INCOSAI of October 2004. It has been subsequently integrated in the INTOSAI standards/guidances as "INTOSAI GOV 9100"). It relies upon the COSO's integrated framework for internal control (as stated in the preface), and uses the COSO's definition of Internal Control and IIA's definition of Internal Audit.
Guidelines on Best Practice for the Audit of Privatizations, (1998)
Guidance for Planning an Audit of Internal Controls for Public Debt, (2002)

Adoption by intergovernmental organizations
In addition to the INTOSAI members (the Supreme Audit Institutions), the following intergovernmental organizations have adopted INTOSAI AS:
Council of Europe
European Communities
The European Court of Auditors performs its audits in accordance with the IFAC and INTOSAI Auditing Standards and Codes of ethics, in so far as these are applicable in the European Community context.
European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts
Audit by two appointed Supreme Audit Institutions.
European Space Agency
Audit by an Audit Board composed of Supreme Audit Institutions auditors.
EUMETSAT
Audit by an appointed Supreme Audit Institution.
International Criminal Police Organization
North Atlantic Treaty Organization
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
Audit by a Supreme Audit Institution.
The United Nations
The United Nations' Board of Auditors (the external audit of the UN) has adopted the ISAs (International Standards on Auditing). The Board is composed of three Supreme Audit Institutions chairmen, familiar with and usually using the INTOSAI Auditing Standards.

INTOSAI and Internal Audit
The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) is among the five associated members of the INTOSAI. The INTOSAI is a strong advocate for the establishment of Independent Internal audit in public entities.

 ISSAI 1610 – Using the Work of Internal Auditors
 INTOSAI Guidance for Good governance: INTOSAI GOVs 9100–9230

The guidance "INTOSAI GOV 9100" states:

 (page 46) "The Supreme Audit Institution also has a vested interest in ensuring that strong internal audit units exist where needed. Those audit units constitute an important element of internal control by providing a continuous means for improving an organisation's operations. In some countries, however, the internal audit units may lack independence, be weak, or be non-existent. In those cases, the SAI should, whenever possible, offer assistance and guidance to establish and develop those capacities and to ensure the independence of the internal auditor's activities."
 "The creation of an internal audit unit as part of the internal control system is a strong signal by management that internal control is important. ... For an internal audit function to be effective, it is essential that the internal audit staff be independent from management, work in an unbiased, correct and honest way and that they report directly to the highest level of authority within the organisation. ... "For professional guidance, internal auditors should use the Professional Practices Framework (PPF) of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) (...) Additionally, internal auditors should follow the INTOSAI Code of Ethics".

This is the high point of the Funeral Mtns. The people with whom I have talked who made the climb have the highest of praise for the interest and splendid views of Death Valley. They stated that it appeared to be a rock climb except for the route they used. The following account is by Walter Heninger of this climb by Bob Bear, Fritz Sloman, Toni Gamero, Ruth and Frank Ferro, and Walt and Bernice Heninger. They camped at the "132 Headed Cactus" which is 10 miles west of Death Valley Junction and eight miles east of Furnace Creek Inn, and just about a hundred yards south of the main highway. We should have driven north across the desert from this point toward, the low point in the pass, just east of Pyramid Peak.
Looking northward from our camping place, the highest point seen actuallyisthe summit of Pyramid Peak. With good binoculars the tripod can be seen on the mountain top.
We believe that the following is the most practical route. From our camp, looking almost due north, just to the left of the pass, one can see an outcropping of light colored rock or dirt. Head up the canyon aiming to strike the ridge just to the left of this white outcropping. Don't let yourself be tempted to take a "short cut" up one of the side canyons to the left until you have almost reached the white formation.
From the point where you strike the ridge (to the west of the white rock) the best route is very clear. Just keep to the ridge. Very little elevation will be lost during the climb. The summit was slightly to the right of where we expected to find it during the first part of our climb. All agreed that, without lowering their standard, the DPS could add to their list of qualifying climbs the name of Pyramid Peak.

Rupa Goswami has written this song "Radhe Nija Kunda Payasi". The official name of this song is Volume 6 Song 42. This song is taken from the book Stavamala. In this song, Rupa Goswami has described how Sri Krsna enjoys water pastimes.
(1) Radha, now You may enjoy in the waters of Your own lake! Violently splash the defeated Krsna!
(2) Look! In fear He has hidden the splendid crown of flower blossoms in His thick, black hair!
(3) The mineral-color pictures drawn on His body have dissolved in the water. His garland has withered and the bees have left it.
(4) He places His eternal, ferociously splendid Kaustubha jewel against Your cheek, pretending that You are its reflection.
This entry was posted in Bhajans by Rupa Goswami, Stavamala and tagged Radhe Nija Kunda Payasi on November 25, 2011 by Vaishnava Thakura.


BLOOMINGTON — Indiana University will move up plans to renovate two of its residence halls to address recent mold problems in the buildings.
Foster and McNutt halls were scheduled to be renovated in 2021-22 and 2023-24 years. They will instead be renovated during the 2019-20 academic year, and are expected to be completed for the 2020-21 year.
The redesigns include new room designs and common spaces, new HVAC systems, new piping and air ducts, according to a press release from Indiana University.
"We recognize there have been significant concerns regarding mold in Foster and McNutt residence halls during the fall semester," said Tom Morrison, vice president for Capital Planning and Facilities. "While we have completed remediation work in the two facilities, accelerating the planned renovations of Foster and McNutt enables IU to address underlying HVAC deficiencies of older systems while also comprehensively renovating these facilities."


A roll of images from our walk, through woods, along the collapsing river bank, are the first thing I think of, presumably to block the possibility of everything else that might be lost to me. It might only be a loose connection or a sleepy battery that is not making the spark that wakes my laptop up. I have borrowed Boy's Inspiron, which is fine but unfamiliar. I am stumbling over keys that didn't even get a notice on my grubby aged Mac. Anyway, this short post is to let you know, if I seem to have disappeared, I have not. I am busy solution hunting and will be back.
Lily, your disappearances are more conspicuous than my appearances. Best of luck with solution hunting.

You'll love it if: You love politics, religion, and Colorado!
The Rabbi and Senator Sleep Together, through topics as diverse as interfaith marriage, legalized marijuana, handling the backlash when speaking out on controversial issues, and maintaining a strong marriage and family in the public spotlight, chronicles how religion and politics can successfully marry for the greater good.
For 50 years, Rabbi Steven and Senator Joyce Foster have been leaders in the Denver community, nationally and internationally, through their work on issues of civil rights, gay rights, mental illness awareness, and stricter gun control laws. They have traveled to Israel more than 30 times, helping emigrants resettle, bringing Christian ministers and their congregations on trips, and raising money for the Jewish Federations of North America.
Rabbi Steven Foster spent his entire 40-year rabbinate at Temple Emanuel in Denver, until he retired in 2010. Senator Joyce Foster served at his side as a state senator and the first Jewish woman on the Denver City Council.

Q: How to pass IEnumerable list to controller in MVC including checkbox state? I have an mvc application in which I am using a model like this:
 public class BlockedIPViewModel
{
    public string  IP { get; set; }
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public bool Checked { get; set; }
}

Now I have a View to bind a list like this:
@model IEnumerable<OnlineLotto.Web.Models.BlockedIPViewModel>
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
  @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
}

@foreach (var item in Model) {

        @Html.HiddenFor(x => item.IP)
        @Html.CheckBoxFor(x => item.Checked)

        @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.IP)

}

    <input type="submit" value="Unblock IPs" />

Now I have a controller to receive action from submit button:
 public ActionResult BlockedIPList(IEnumerable<BlockedIPViewModel> lstBlockedIPs)
 {

  }

But I am getting null value to lstBlockedIPs when coming to controller action.I need to get the checkbox state here. Please help.

A: Use a list instead and replace your foreach loop with a for loop:
@model IList<BlockedIPViewModel>

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()

    @for (var i = 0; i < Model.Count; i++)
    {

                @Html.HiddenFor(x => x[i].IP)
                @Html.CheckBoxFor(x => x[i].Checked)

                @Html.DisplayFor(x => x[i].IP)

    }

        <input type="submit" value="Unblock IPs" />

}

Alternatively you could use an editor template:
@model IEnumerable<BlockedIPViewModel>

@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    @Html.EditorForModel()

        <input type="submit" value="Unblock IPs" />

}

and then define the template ~/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/BlockedIPViewModel.cshtml which will automatically be rendered for each element of the collection:
@model BlockedIPViewModel

        @Html.HiddenFor(x => x.IP)
        @Html.CheckBoxFor(x => x.Checked)

        @Html.DisplayFor(x => x.IP)

The reason you were getting null in your controller is because you didn't respect the naming convention for your input fields that the default model binder expects to successfully bind to a list. I invite you to read the following article.
Once you have read it, look at the generated HTML (and more specifically the names of the input fields) with my example and yours. Then compare and you will understand why yours doesn't work.

Duncan Goodhew fell out of a tree when he was 10 years old, an accident that caused him to lose all his hair, which never grew back. Bullied at school for being bald and dyslexic, Goodhew went to Moscow in 1980 determined to raise two fingers to his juvenile detractors by winning a gold medal as shiny as his head. He won the final by four tenths of a second.
The bullying gave him the strength to win a gold for his country!


ZOGGE, BELGIUM – (For Immediate Release) – To the ancient Greeks and Romans, the owl was a symbol of the goddess Athena, and as such the nocturnal bird became associated with wisdom. For fans attending the 2018 Fantasia Festival, however, the avian sage took on a whole new meaning, one centered around pure EDM, trance and house music excitement from stars like DVBBS and Henri PFR.
Commanding instant attention from the main stage of the festival was an awe-inspiring 30-meter tall by 70-meter wide representation of a spread-winged owl. The distinctive scenic element was made even more impactful by a bold and vivid lighting display designed by Creative Rental Solutions (CRS) that featured a collection of CHAUVET Professional STRIKE, Rogue, COLORado and COLORdash fixtures.
Thomas Vandekerkhove and his team at CRS used an artfully blended mix of STRIKE P38, COLORdash Par H12IP, Rogue RH1 Hybrid and COLORado Panel Q40 fixtures to lend a vibrant personality and sense of movement to the giant scenic bird.
"It was a huge challenge to illuminate the large bird with the logo of Fantasia Festival," commented Vandekerkhove. "After much deliberation we decided upon installing the STRIKE P38 fixtures in the head and wings to highlight the contours of the bird and to create some exciting looks.
With a combination of audience blinder and strobe powered by a 90W warm white LED source, the compact, punchy and outdoor-ready STRIKE fixtures provided energetic looks to elevate the EDM DJs taking to the stage.
"We utilized the P38s to full capacity," commented Vandekerkhove. "Not only were the strobe and blinding effects crucial for visual energy, the tungsten emulating warm white effect gave us more of a classic festival feel for a retro house vibe."
To lend warmth and emotion to the owl structure, Vandekerkhove washed it with deeply saturated colors from the COLORdash fixtures that he positioned on top of the owl's head. "The COLORdash fixtures gave us a compact solution to throw deep hues onto the owl from above," he said. "I love the soft spectrum of deeply saturated colors that the COLORdash can achieve."
Providing a multitude of spectacular aerial effects and eye candy, Vandekerkhove positioned 10 Rogue RH1 Hybrids from truss on the wings. Thanks to layerable 8-facet and 6-facet prisms and 330W power source, he was able to award the DJs with necessary energy during the entire festival.
"For a festival of this magnitude, having the power of a fixture such as the Rogue is completely essential," continued Vandekerkhove. "The prism effects still look great, even during the daylight hours of the festival, and as a result we were able to use all effects of the fixture to their full extent."
In order to wash the entire wingspan of the owl with color, Vandekerkhove and his team specified 10 COLORado Panel Q40 panel fixtures. Thanks to the IP65-rated 40 15W RGBW LEDs and adjustable beam angles, the COLORados were able to create flawless edge-to-edge color mixing.
In addition to the visual solution covering the length and breadth of the impressive festival structure, Vandekerkhove and his team at CRS were simultaneously able to ensure energetic euphoria-inducing visuals with their selection of CHAUVET Professional fixtures. In doing so, the Fantasia Festival continues to enchant guests and performers alike with the magical combination of sound and visual excitement.

Frequently Asked Questions about Managed Workloads
What is an IT workload?
A workload is an abstracted service unit of an IT system that fulfills a specific task or economic benefit for the company. It can consist of one or more assets, services, or resources (e.g., servers, databases, user management, etc.). Workloads can include all the components needed to run an application or application in the cloud. Enterprises typically have a range of workloads, from small, simple workloads to more complex workloads.
What is a virtual machine?
A virtual machine (VM) replicates the computer architecture of a computer that exists in hardware or a hypothetical computer. Thus, a virtual computer offers the same functions as a physical computer. Virtual machines run applications and operating systems. Multiple virtual machines can run simultaneously on one physical computer.
What does Immutable VMs mean?
Immutable Virtual Machines (VM) stands for the use of "disposable instances". Virtual machines are replaced instead of modified when changes are made on the basis of an image.
What is Container IT?
A container packages an application and all the files required to run it. This includes, for example, the components: Code, runtime, configuration, and system libraries. At runtime, the container also receives its isolated portion of operating system resources such as CPU, RAM, disk, and network. This simplifies both the installation and operation of server applications and their management and distribution.
What does serverless mean?
"Serverless" refers to a cloud-native model where apps can be built and run without managing servers. The servers are physically present but are separated from the app development. A cloud provider handles the server infrastructure's provisioning, management, and scaling. Once provisioned, serverless apps run on demand and can scale up or down automatically.

Lympsham Pre-School has recently become part of the Wessex Learning Trust and we are now a feeder school for Lympsham C of E Academy, which in turn feeds to Hugh Sexey Middle school and Kings of Wessex. So once a child has a place at Lympsham Pre-School they will automatically be offered a place at the next school in the Wessex Learning Trust system. We feel this is a great benefit to families in the Bleadon area who have until now not had the security of a guaranteed place in the Cheddar Valley catchment.
