Jennifer Lawrence to present at The Screen Actors Guild Awards
The Screen Actors Guild is lining up a star-studded list of presenters for its 19th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Viola Davis and Justin Timberlake will all present during the upcoming awards ceremony, it was announced Wednesday.
Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro are SAG Awards nominees this year for their roles in "Silver Linings Playbook". The movie is also nominated in Cast in a Motion Picture category.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards will air live on Sunday, Jan. 27, at 8 p.m. ET on TBS and TNT.
Jennifer Lawrence will be on David Letterman tonight!
I stood outside the Ed Sullivan Theater today for over 12 hours to meet Jennifer as she arrived for her interview, which is taped early but airs tonight at 11:30! Don't forget to check it out!
As a sidenote on this topic, I was fortunate enough to have met Jennifer today and I got her autograph! She wasn't taking photos, but she actually posed for one with me (because I was practically screaming at her for one) but I messed it all up because I pressed the wrong button! (I have no idea how to work an iphone.) She was extremely sweet and charming and hilarious in person, just as she is in interviews. If you want to hear more about my day waiting for and meeting Jennifer you can check it out on my blog jennifrlawrence.tumblr.com!

Jennifer Lawrence Is Santa Barbara Int'l Film Fest's 'Outstanding Performer of the Year'
The Santa Barbara International Film Festival said Tuesday that Jennifer Lawrence, the beautiful and charismatic 22-year-old star of this year's summer blockbuster The Hunger Games and the new awards season dramedy Silver Linings Playbook, will be presented with its Outstanding Performer of the Year Award on Jan 26. at Santa Barbara's historic Arlington Theatre.
"Ms. Lawrence impressed us earlier this year in The Hunger Games, but has now left us moonstruck with her career-defining performance in Silver Lining Playbook ? recalling classic turns by Lombard, Stanwyck and Colbert,? SBIFF executive director Roger Durling said in a statement. ?Naming her our Outstanding Performer of the Year is an understatement."
Prior to this year, Lawrence was best known for her gritty performance in the low-budget indie Winter's Bone (2010), for which she received a best actress Oscar nomination. She was just 20 years old, making her the second-youngest person ever nominated in that category.
First presented in 2004, the Outstanding Performer of the Year Award has previously gone to Charlize Theron, Kate Winslet, Heath Ledger, Helen Mirren, Angelina Jolie, Penelope Cruz, Colin Firth, James Franco, and Viola Davis.

Us Weekly reports: Kristen Stewart Meets Jennifer Lawrence in Toronto!
According to Us Weekly, Kristen Stewart had something to smile about in Toronto on Saturday: While doing press at the Intercontinental Hotel, she happily met Jennifer Lawrence for the very first time.
"People who saw them said they were geeking out about each other," a source tells Us Weekly of the actresses, both 22 and the heroines of their own globally massive fantasy franchises (Twilight and The Hunger Games). Adds the source: "Kristen and Jennifer told friends they had emailed in the past but had never seen each other face to face. They're big fans of each other."
Indeed, back in March, Lawrence told Access Hollywood that she had emailed fellow superstar Stewart over a supposed feud.
"I wrote her an email because there was this huge, like, article about a Twilight and Hunger Games feud," Lawrence said. "And we've never met before and never spoken . . . "I just shot her an email, and was like, 'Hey, can't wait to see more as this feud unfolds!"
To her surprise, Stewart replied!
"[Kristen] wrote me back, and she was like, 'It's fine. Welcome to [our] world where everything you say gets turned into [something it's not],'" Lawrence said. "So, she understood."

Het punt van Clawson in een driehoek is  het gelijkvormigheidscentrum van de voetpuntsdriehoek en de driehoek van vierde raaklijnen van paren van aangeschreven cirkels, waar de andere drie raaklijnen de zijden van ABC zijn. Een andere manier om het Clawson punt the vinden is als perspectiviteitscentrum van ABC en de driehoek gevormd door gezamenlijke koorden van de omgeschreven cirkel en elk van de aangeschreven cirkels. Het is het driehoekscentrum met Kimberlingnummer X(19).

De barycentrische coördinaten voor het punt van Clawson zijn

Hoewel John Wentworth Clawson de naamgever is van dit punt, werd het punt al bestudeerd door Émile Lemoine in 1886.

Liverpool and Arsenal target Max Meyer has opened up on his future amid speculation he will leave Schalke this summer.
The 21-year-old was linked with both the Premier League giants in the build-up to the summer transfer window after he rejected a new deal with the Bundesliga side and with one year left on his contract, it's thought Schalke may look to cash in.
Tottenham Hotspur have also expressed an interest in signing the German in the past and saw a £38million deal fall through last summer.
Meyer has risen through the ranks at his boyhood club and has made four appearances under Joachim Low for the national side, scoring once, while he was part of the U21s side who won the European Championships in the summer.
But while his future at Schalke remains unclear and although he wouldn't rule a move out, Meyer is keeping his options open this summer.
"Let's see what happens," he told Bild. "I declined the [contract] offer because I was not satisfied with my personal situation.
"I just saw no chance to develop. It would have been the wrong step, however, because the overall situation has changed.
"I am completely open on my future. Let's see what happens. It is not the case that I will definitely go.
"I never said I would change clubs – let alone this summer – I just did not renew the contract.
"I am really looking forward to the new season and I am happy to be here."

About six months ago I had a minor disaster. I heard a moderately loud "thump" that I didn't think much about, since I do live in the city of Denver, where random thumps often occur. A couple of days later I discovered the source of that thump - three racks of DVDs located in my downstairs storage closet had fallen over, scattering about 700 DVDs all over the floor. I righted the shelves, and repopulated them haphazardly, knowing that the re-alphabetization would require at least an hour that I didn't have. That was six months ago. I still haven't reorganized those DVDs.
I know my publisher, Jerry Del Colliano has all his movies transferred to a server, so he can access them quickly and easily, and I have done the same thing with a good portion of my CD collection before I placed them all in boxes for deep storage. But even if I had a media center that could support a library of DVDs and Blu Rays, I don't think I would bother to rip them into it. I much prefer to watch "fresh" media when I have to devote all my attention to a screen or monitor.
I tried, back in the 1990's, to be a cinephile. I failed. I had a discrete five-channel system and while even back then it saw far more two-channel music than movies...especially when I had access to a Meridian front end with its ambisonic decoding, which on some music can sound more detailed and involving than the original two-channel mix.
Nowadays I'll admit that even though I have a Sony projector with a big screen and a very nice 65" direct view monitor, I do most of my movie watching on my 27" Samsung monitor attached to my Mac Pro desktop. The sound from my desktop system is as high-quality as what I get from any of my room-based systems, and with instant access to Hulu, Netflix, and other video sources, I'm rarely at a loss for content.
The funny thing is since switching from Direct TV subscription to over-the-air and Internet content I consume the same amount of video, but I do it in different ways. Instead of a watching a program on a weekly basis I often wait and watch several episodes in a row, or with some movies and series I wait until well after initial release, because there is no earthly reason why I must see anything (except news) when it is fresh and newly-released.
Now I consume movies and video on my own time and schedule.
And while new movies may not be high on my must-see lists, I still comb through the new releases each week on both Tidal and Qobuz. And even though I do qualify as a social-security card-carrying old fart, I listen to almost everything for at least five seconds (often that's all it takes to discover that a track is not my cup of tea) and usually come away with at least a dozen new tracks each week that I will add to playlists for future enjoyment. I usually follow-up on singles I like by listening to the album it came from - and end up adding a couple of albums as well.


Take your pick, from contemporary to traditional packages for your baby's full month party.
Have you ever wondered why you celebrate a baby's "full moon"? In Chinese customs, it is believed that the baby turns one on their 30th day of birth. This is why your "Chinese age" is always one year more than your actual age. It is also one of the Chinese customs to celebrate the full moon milestone because in olden times, many babies never made it to this age. So if you're going be throwing a celebration and are looking for baby full moon cakes in Singapore, we have some suggestions.
Don't forget! The perfect full month party has to have its share of traditional red eggs and ang ku kueh, with some western cakes and cookies for the celebrations.

Cake fans will love the whimsical designs at Pattisier. We especially like the "Baby Love" creation. When you cut into the cake, you'll see layers of white chocolate rose, a multi-coloured light vanilla sponge and a Ribena and milk chocolate mousse.
Here's the premium bakery for Disney fans. Swissbake has chocolate cupcakes in Mickey and friends, Winnie the Pooh, Tsum Tsum and Disney princesses designs. Unfortunately you'll have to print your own baby cards to go with them.
At Partridge Pear, it's a mix of traditional and contemporary with their themed gift boxes. Mix up your traditional red eggs and ang ku kueh with butter cream cakes, chocolate eclairs and fruit tarts. All packages come with a birth announcement card for that added personalised touch.
The local kueh place also serves delicious cake packages for First Month celebrations. Go traditional with marble, banana or walnut, or try something whimsical like the Baby's Booties or Bubbly Teddy. Like what you see? Don't forget to order days in advance.

The Icing Room's first month packaged gift sets are simple pastel coloured delights – cupcakes, brownies, almond cakes, lollicakes, cookies and macarons that's a treat to the eyes as well. Definitely the choice for mums who love Instagram.
Local celebrities throng this place for wide variety of full month packages. Take your pick from cute cupcake-sized package to a giant deluxe nyonya kueh platter. The latter comes with ang ku kueh, kueh salat, nyonya kueh, lapis sagu, harum manis and baked tapioca. Of course, there's traditional red eggs and glutinous rice in the menu too.
This bakery has been around for 32 years. Check out their interesting Dim Sum Box Set, which comes with glutinous rice, red eggs, and ang yi for boys or ang ku kueh for girls. There's also a premium cake set with fancy flavours like Lychee Martini, Citrus Drop and Orange Apricot Blossom.
The sets here come packaged in novelty theme boxes – there's more than twenty to choose from, and can be personalised with baby's photo. Try the signature pastry set. It includes mung bean ang ku kueh or ang yi, red eggs and their speciality Hae Bee Hiam in white glutinous rice. It's a must try!
If you like brownies, than P.Osh will be your go-to choice for your baby's full month party.

Technology has brought with it some highly sophisticated and complicated equipment. Unfortunately, this advanced technology is not infallible, and working parts stop working for a multitude of reasons. The components that make up these machines need highly skilled people to get them up and running again.
Industrial mechanics, aka manufacturing mechanics, are those who are skilled in repairing, installing, and maintaining those machines used in the manufacturing process.
When you're an industrial mechanic, you'll work in factories, power plants, or construction sites. You may have to work on weekends, and you'll get plenty of overtime. But mostly, you'll be working a 40 hour week.
Types of machines you'll work on are robotic arms, assembly line conveyor belts, and hydraulic lifts. Most employers look for someone who can work without a lot of hand-holding.
Employers prefer their candidates to have at least a high school diploma and some postsecondary education. You should have taken some classes in electronics, blueprint reading and drawing, mechanical drawing, math, and computer programming.
Earn your associate degree in industrial maintenance.
Complete one year of on-the-job training.
Alternatively, you may train through a manufacturer rep or a professional trainer.
Get certified, but only if you want to. The available certifications are optional. You can get one through the Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals. There are no requirements, but if you have a felony, you're ineligible.
Maintain your certifications and credentials to advance in your career. Every three years, you need 50 hours of continuing education to do this.
The median annual salary for industrial mechanics is $51,360. Depending on your experience, where your work, and what state you are employed in, your pay could look different. As an entry-level industrial mechanic, your average yearly paycheck will be $32K, but the top 10 percent of your colleagues will be earning over $76K.
Manufacturing, construction, and wholesale trades are the top-paying industries for your chosen career.
Employment is expected to grow 7 percent through 2026, which is about average compared with all other professions. More than 23K new positions will open through 2026, and you'll be extremely employable if you are able to work on a wide variety of machines and have many relevant skills.


Considering that station-raids tend to generate a lot of publicity, both among local media in affected markets and in the radio industry trade-press, I was surprised that the Queens and Miami raids have not been reported on at all. This may be because they didn't actually happen – or happened on dates and at times that don't fit Chairman Pai's narrative. In addition, further information has come to light that casts doubt on just how effective the FCC's recent activity in Boston really was.
Raids, Bills, Staff Moves: FCC Enforcement Changes Afoot?
The Federal Communications Commission is making new moves to demonstrate the seriousness with which it takes the "problem" of unlicensed broadcasting. This is being reflected in several ways, including the deployment of more tools in field enforcement, legislative activity, and staff changes.
First, enforcement: on Monday, March 26 the agency, in conjunction with Federal Marshals and the Boston Police Department, conducted two station-raids and equipment seizures. Both stations were effectively co-located on the same block of Blue Hill Avenue in the Dorchester neighborhood, which is populated by two-story structures with businesses on the ground floor and apartments above, as well as an old theater which now houses a Baptist church.


"The highest education is that which doesn't merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.".
Today, the role of a school is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and to empower its students to be life long learners, critical thinkers, and productive members of an ever changing global society. At Oxford, we provide an atmosphere to our students for multifaceted development, where they are encouraged to channelize their potential in the pursuit of excellence.
We are striving hard to make the best possible efforts to inculcate strong values combining with academics and extra-curricular activities in our children.
Converting every individual into a self-reliant and independent citizen, we provide an amalgam of scholastic and co-scholastic activities. At Oxford, our approach to learning is child-centric, encouraging 'Activity Based Learning' and inculcating a scientific temper and a spirit of free enquiry. Our attempt is to ignite the fire within them and to give them an environment to pursue their dreams.
We are grateful to all parents for their unflinching support in assisting us in all our ventures. I am confident enough that the Oxfordians will make themselves stronger day by day, adding a new leaf to the grandeur of the school.


If you would like to use my back deck for your ceremony, I am more than happy to oblige. My place is an old Queenslander with a tree canopy over the back deck and lattice work as the backdrop, and is in a lovely country location.
There will be no extra charge for this service but you will be entirely responsible for, the decoration and cleaning up after the ceremony. This would be suitable for small groups of up to 20 people. This would also be ideal for Elopements!
Let me know if you would like to take advantage of this service.

Celebrate California State Park Week June 14 – 18
Photo by Kitera Dent
The public is invited to celebrate the first annual California State Parks Week, June 14-18, presented by California State Parks, Save the Redwoods League, Parks California and the California State Parks Foundation.
Through special community events and in-person and virtual programming, this inaugural event celebrates California's 279 state parks and the people who visit and help protect these iconic places. A complete list of the week's events and how to participate are available at CAStateParksWeek.org.
"State Parks is excited to welcome the first-ever California State Parks Week, which celebrates the oldest state park system in the nation," said Armando Quintero, director of California State Parks. "California's state parks are as unique and diverse as the state itself. They help preserve and protect the state's natural and cultural history for generations to come. I hope this week gives everyone a chance to visit the outdoors, enjoy its beauty and find their own connection with California's great outdoors."
California State Parks Week is modeled after National Park Week, and it helps advance the "Outdoor Access For All" initiative as well as the recently launched "California Outdoors For All" initiative. This initiative expands outdoor access to all Californians through focused investments in open space infrastructure and outdoor programming, with a priority of expanding access in underserved communities.
Why California State Parks Week?
The COVID-19 pandemic brought many challenges to California's communities, but it also illuminated the important connection of the outdoors to our physical and mental well-being. Parks across the U.S. experienced increased visitation in 2020-21, and California State Parks Week underscores the important role parks play in communities statewide.
"As we emerge from the impacts of the pandemic, we are excited to celebrate California's resilience and expand access to so many joyful experiences and benefits of nature through California State Parks Week," said Sam Hodder, president and CEO of Save the Redwoods League. "It is inspiring to see how California's state park system has grown over generations. The parks encompass not only the state's most iconic landscapes, but also the diversity of our people, cultural experiences and moments of joy to be found along thousands of miles of trails."
California State Parks protects the best of the state's natural and cultural history; more than 340 miles of coastline; the tallest, largest and among the oldest trees in the world; and deserts, lakes, rivers and beaches. Across 279 parks statewide there are more than 5,200 miles of trails, 15,000 campsites, prehistoric and historic archeological sites, ghost towns, historic homes and monuments — all waiting to be explored.
"California State Parks Week is a fun and inclusive way to celebrate the wonder and sense of community that the outdoors provides to the people of California and visitors from all over the world," said Kindley Walsh Lawlor, president and CEO of Parks California.
California State Parks Week Themed Days:
"Parks have been there for us in so many ways. As we recognize the partners, volunteers, state parks staff and many others who make California's state park system the gem it is today, there is so much to celebrate! The themes for each day bring all those contributions into focus," said Rachel Norton, executive director of California State Parks Foundation.

Slide Show: Israeli Raid on Gaza Relief Flotilla
By The NationTwitter
In the early hours of Monday, May 31, Israeli Defense Forces raided a flotilla of six ships en route to delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, killing at least nine civilians and wounding dozens more. "What madness," The Nation's Roane Carey asks, "could have driven the Israeli government to order its navy to attack, in international waters, a flotilla of ships full of human rights activists, MPs from governments around the world, a Nobel Prize winner and two former US diplomats?"
Credit: Reuters/DHA
The flotilla was part of an ongoing campaign known as the Free Gaza Movement, which has delivered supplies and aid to the blockaded territory for over two years. In a 2008 article for The Nation, Richard Silverstein wrote that the original motivation for the flotillas was "the sheer economic misery caused by Israel's siege," begun after Hamas's electoral victory in 2006. The Movement "sought to publicize Gaza's plight in the most graphic terms possible—by breaking the blockade."

Gaza's besieged population has suffered severe economic and humanitarian damages from the ongoing blockade. According to The Nation's Sara Roy, the territory's private and agricultural sectors are in ruins, and the malnourished and underemployed population depends largely on international aid organizations and an informal network of black market smugglers to fill the void of a functioning economy. Gaza, Roy says, "is now a place where poverty masquerades as livelihood and charity as business."
Credit: AP Images
The six ships seized on May 31 were carrying more than 600 people and nearly 10,000 tons of goods and construction materials destined for the Gaza Strip. Among those on board were Former Ambassador Edward Peck, a career diplomat who served as deputy director of the White House Task Force on Terrorism during the presidency of Ronald Reagan, and Ret. Col. Ann Wright, who after a career in the US Army and as a diplomat, quit in protest over the Iraq war. In an interview recorded before the raid, Wright argued that the flotillas mark the beginning of the end for the siege against Gaza: "I would hope the Israelis recognize this as a peaceful, non-violent mechanism for forcing government to do what governments don't want to."
When the Israeli navy attacked the aid ships in international waters "like a group of pirates in the Mediterranean," The Nation's Neve Gordon writes, they emphasized the shifting and contradictory nature of Israel's control over Gaza. If Israel withdrew from Gaza in August 2005, and if "Gaza is an autonomous entity as Israel claims, then the attempt on the part of these humanitarian ships to reach the Gaza sea port is not an infringement on Israeli sovereignty," Gordon argues. "If, on the other hand, Israel considers the flotilla's entrance into Gaza's territorial sea line as a violation of its own sovereign borders, then Israel needs to admit that it has never given up its sovereignty over Gaza."
Credit: Reuters Pictures
"The mildest word I can come up with to describe US media coverage of the deadly Israeli assault on a Gaza aid flotilla would be 'credulous,'" says The Nation's Esther Kaplan. While international news outlets condemned the attack as a "failure" and a "fiasco" and called Israel's justifications "pathetic," US media resorted to "misinformation and an almost gleeful boosterism." Focusing on the diplomatic fallout facing Israel and avoiding the more prickly issue of why a flotilla bearing 10,000 tons of humanitarian aid for Gaza might have been necessary, the US media pulled their punches.
As Obama and the State Department issue cautious statements of concern, some Democrats refuse to hold their tongues. Congressional candidate Marcy Winograd is challenging incumbent Democrat Jane Harman for an LA district seat. The two politicians share Jewish backgrounds, but the similarities end there. Winograd, co-founder of LA Jews for Peace, condemned the attack, saying: "I invite my opponent, Jane Harman, another Jewish woman, and all of Congress to join me in denouncing this kind of barbaric violence, demanding an end to the blockade, and seeking an international investigation into these murders." In a statement on her website, Harman responded that "until the facts of this complex and tragic episode are fully investigated and understood, it is premature to assess blame or call anyone a murderer."
Credit: Winograd for Congress
Closer to Washington, Ohio Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich reacted to his colleagues' tepid responses by circulating a letter to President Obama declaring, "It is not acceptable to repeatedly violate international law. It is not acceptable to shoot and kill innocent civilians. It is not acceptable to commit an act of aggression against another US ally." Kucinich writes that Israel's right to defend its border "does not extend to shooting innocent civilians anywhere in the world, anytime it pleases." If the US fails to act in any substantive way, Kucinich concludes, we effectively license "the violence and… our own citizens will be forced to pay the consequences." The Nation's John Nichols argues that "history, and recent developments in Washington, suggest that the congressman will not be overwhelmed by allies on this one."
So far, the Obama administration has only expressed "deep concern" over the violence in international waters. But according to Robert Dreyfuss, "that won't cut it." The blowback from the attack is already intense, and Dreyfuss argues that the fury surrounding Israel's actions should force the US to open dialog with Hamas. The US has "long avoided dealing with Hamas," Dreyfuss writes, but bringing Hamas to the negotiating table may be the only way out of the intractable situation Israel's blockade has created in Gaza.
According to The Nation's editors, the attack on the Freedom Flotilla is the culmination of more than four years of failed US-Israeli policy. "Israel's occupation," the editors write, "would not have been possible without tens of billions in US military aid, without dozens of UN vetoes cast by Washington, without the State Department's back-room strong-arming of other nations." The indefensible siege of Gaza "must end immediately, and along with it the counterproductive US-Israeli policy of isolating Hamas. Only then will it be possible to work constructively toward a resolution of the conflict."

Q: How do I prevent duplicate headers when dealing with threads in PHP? I've written a PHP script that has to fork and do some processing in parallel, and then the main page returns data after processing. I'm currently using the pcntl functions to do this. I need to run anywhere between 2 and 10 threads to work in parallel, and I have to wait until I get a result from all of the threads before the script outputs to the browser.
Unfortunately, I find that I have multiple "Content-Type" headers appearing in the output:
Content-Type: text/plain

Content-Type: text/plain

Content-Type: text/plain
[... actual content ...]

It seems to be one header per thread spawned. I've tried to close STDOUT via fclose(STDOUT) before processing, and I've tried surrounding everything by output buffering to no avail. I haven't yet found anyone else with this problem, so either nobody is trying to do it or I'm doing something that's off the beaten track.
I'm really looking for either ways to stop this happening, or suggestions on alternative ways to get this done.
The server is set up to use PHP as CGI under mod_suPHP, if that makes any difference.

A: Did you try session variables?
You could set a session variable in each of the scripts when they are complete/successful and then check/wait to see if they are complete/successful in your main process.

"Hunter" is a song recorded by Icelandic singer Björk for her third studio album Homogenic (1997). The lyrics explore the pressure Björk felt to write music after realising the workforce that depended on her, following the success she found as a solo artist with her previous studio albums. The song was first performed at the 1997 Tibetan Freedom Concert and later included with the online promotional release of Homogenic; the track was subsequently released as the third single from the album as three different CD releases in the United Kingdom in October 1998, having been released in France four months prior. A collaborative effort between Björk and Mark Bell, "Hunter" features a dark combination of strings and layered synths, a militaristic electronic beat, and enigmatic lyrics about the heading towards a mission.

Most music critics were enticed by "Hunter", which they declared one of the highlights of Homogenic. However, the single charted poorly, peaking at number 44 on the UK Singles Chart and number 55 in France. "Hunter" was included on Björk's greatest hits album Greatest Hits (2002), whose tracks were selected by fans through an online survey.

The accompanying music video for "Hunter" was directed by longtime collaborator Paul White of Me Company and consists of a close-up of a bald Björk as she transforms into a "techno-bear" while singing. Seeking to convey the music's fusion of organic and technological, the polar bear was animated in a non-naturalistic fashion; the bear also embodies the ferocious hunter the lyrics represent. The song's video garnered acclaim from critics. Björk has performed "Hunter" on  Later... with Jools Holland and on five of her tours, the most recent being the Vulnicura Tour.

Music and lyrics
The opening track of Homogenic, "Hunter" showcases the hybrid elements of strings and electronic backing beats through the album. It blends the live sound of the Icelandic String Octet —orchestrated by Eumir Deodato—, Yasuhiro Kobayashi's accordion and "stuttering computer beats and beeps" programmed by Mark Bell. Music journalist Evelyn McDonnell wrote "the production showed Björk's steeping in the cutting edge of electronic dance-music culture, her embrace of techno futurism, her time spent pulling all-nighters in London clubs. But the emotion was ancient, deeply human". The song has been described as "dark", "uncompromising" and "icy". According to Ray Gun, "Hunter" evokes an eerie terrain with rolling techno beats and strings penetrating the air like a toxic fog. Björk's vocals have been much celebrated in the track. They have been described as what "[ties] the whole shebang together together [...]: full of reverberating menace and trepidation on the verses, then bursting into full-throated confession, layers of her voice pitching next to each other then cascading together". The Wire wrote that Björk's voice "oscillates between steely-edged determination and uncontained freedom".

Björk incorporated elements of traditional Icelandic culture. She uses the interval of the fifth throughout the song, such as in the cellos; fifths were common in Icelandic folk songs. Elements of Maurice Ravel's Boléro were also noted. René T. A. Lysloff and Leslie C. Gay, Jr. wrote: "one of the three main sections of the whole song is the Bolero ostinato (0:00-1:36). The sounds Björk uses to cover the rhythmic patterns from Bolero are tightly interwoven". The song features "militaristic" electronic percussion programmed by Mark Bell. Björk recorded the vocals, bassline and chord structure before Bell met her in Spain; after she explained how she wanted the percussion to sound, Bell recorded one take on a Roland TR-909 drum machine. Engineer Markus Dravs said: "We all had a go on the filtering and played around with the decay of each individual drum."

Björk sings: "If travel is searching / And home has been found / I'm not stopping / I'm going hunting". Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine noted self-mockery towards "her own idyllic disposition" in the lyrics "I thought I could organize freedom / How Scandinavian of me!" That line was covered in various reviews; it has been described as "hilarious" and "derisively" delivered. When asked about the meaning of those lines, Björk replied:  Some critics interpreted the line as an allusion to  a failed relationship. Björk said: "'Hunter' is based on what my grandma told me at Christmas; about two different types of birds. One bird always had the same nest and partner all their lives. The other was always travelling and taking on different partners. At some point there was a conscious decision made to remain a hunter."

According to Björk, the lyrics express how she felt obliged to produce music because of the people that occupationally depended of her. The lyrics "I will bring back the goods/But don't know when" refer to her songwriting process; in her own words: "Sometimes I don't do things that people I work with do —like spend time with families and lead a normal life. I have to isolate myself and put myself in a state so I will write a song." After the success Björk encountered as a solo artist with Debut (1993) and Post (1995) — her most promoted album —, she began to feel more pressured as she noticed how her creative output directly affected the life of those around her. In an interview with Dave Hemingway, she stated:

Release
"Hunter" was first made available for streaming prior to the release of Homogenic. In early 1998, it was announced that "Alarm Call" would be released as the third single off the album, followed by "Hunter". By March, no release dates had been specified, although the production of the music video was announced. In April, plans for "Alarm Call" as the third single were suspended and "Hunter" was chosen instead. It was first released in France on 3 June. The release date of "Hunter" was confirmed to be 5 October in September. There were three different CD releases of "Hunter" in the United Kingdom, which were subsequently released via a box set in early 1999. "Hunter" was also included on Björk's greatest hits album Greatest Hits (2002), whose track list was determined by fans through an online survey.

Critical reception
"Hunter" garnered acclaim from music critics, who complimented its elaborate production, its haunting melody and cryptic lyrics. Marvin Lin from Tiny Mix Tapes called it "painfully beautiful". Jack Dickey of Deadspin considered "Hunter" one of the only two songs in the album where "the instruments win out" and wrote it "is like Peter and the Wolf if, instead of a merciful hunter, Artemis were chasing the wolf." In a review for the single release, Keir Langley of AllMusic praised the rhythm and intensity of the track as a showcase of her collaboration with Mark Bell. The Wires Louise Gray thought it was an "extraordinary, mesmeric song." Evelyn McDonnell wrote "I myself had used the prevalent critical category for Björk uncategorizable amalgalm of styles: 'quirky.' There was nothing quirky about 'Hunter.'" She also praised the song's originality and appeal to various types of listeners. Phil Freeman included "Hunter" in his list of songs which "say something important about the state of music since 1979—how venerable forms have changed;" inspired by Greil Marcus' attempt to define rock and roll in Stranded (1978). He wrote "her voice is protean and capable of astonishingly raw, forceful outbursts, but it's when she holds it in, on tracks like this one, that her real power emerges." Authors Shirley R. Steinberg and Donaldo Pereira Macedo identified elements of Donna Haraway's A Cyborg Manifesto in "Hunter". They state that, by assuming the position of authority in relation to the masculine other, Björk challenges the traditional notions of femininity; and that by "[leaving] to be the hunter," she "disrupts the nature/culture binary of which Haraway speaks."

Music video

Development

The music video for "Hunter" was directed by longtime collaborator Paul White from Me Company, the design firm that produced the artwork of Homogenic and Post, and their respective singles. Computer animation was handled by Digital Domain. The live-action portion of the video was shot in London in 12 takes, with Björk performing in front of a green screen; she wore makeup to simulate baldness and tracking markers were applied to her head and face for subsequent computer graphics work. A second performance was later shot with the singer's face marked up with infrared dots as a reference for animators to create convincing facial contortions, and a paper clay polar bear head was scanned next to Björk's head for modeling guidelines.

Both Alistair Beattie —producer and member of Me Company— and Björk have used the word "techno" to refer to the design of the polar bear. To coincide with the song's fusion of organic and technological, it was deliberately designed in a non-photorealist manner. In an interview for I.D. magazine in November 1997, Beattie said:

Post-production took place in California, where Digital Domain received all data. Using Autodesk Softimage and proprietary software, they tracked Björk's movements from the two marker sets and then began key frame animation using Autodesk Maya, Autodesk Alias and Autodesk Softimage. By combining patch deformation and shape interpolation, the emerging bear head was created, composed of "100 maneuverable platelets that rise up through the skin." Finally, rendering was completed using Pixar's RenderMan, a holographic shader was used to make the bear skin colors change, and all the computer graphics were added to the live-action footage. According to The Wire, post-production work brought the costs of the video up to £250,000.

Synopsis

The video begins with a white screen followed by a fade-in of a close-up of a bald Björk. She passionately sings looking into the camera; as she shakes and moves her head, she begins to morph into a polar bear. Towards the end of the video, she completely transforms into the "techno-bear", before returning to her original state and the image once again fading-out to white.

Reception and analysis
The video received critical acclaim. Freeze Frame deemed the video "primal" and complimented Björk on keeping the attention of the viewer by only showing her head and shoulders, thus comparing it to "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel. I.D. Magazine praised its special effects, writing they "reach a new level of detail in [the music video]" and compared the singer's transformation to that of the title character in Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Louise Gray of The Wire described the music video as "extraordinary" and "deeply affecting". Cultural theorist Dominic Pettman, while analyzing the "becoming-animal" theorized by Deleuze and Guattari, found that the video for "Hunter" —along with the character Treadwell in Herzog's Grizzly Man— embodied various points these philosophers studied regarding that concept. Shirley R. Steinberg and Donaldo Pereira Macedo wrote that in the music video, Donna Haraway's metaphor of A Cyborg Manifesto appears in "Björks embodiment of a human-animal-machine hybrid."

Evelyn McDonnell has identified bears and hunters as recurring themes in Björk's videos. The bear was used as a "literal symbol of strength, ferocity, self-determination and the North, a pioneering roaming spirit." Beattie has stated that as the song is about the two different states of the hunter and the gatherer, "the polar bear is the perfect symbol of the hunter state, it polarizes (ahem!) [sic] the difference between the two into something really extreme and magical." When asked why the video is "so stark", Beattie compared it to kōans and haikus in the sense that "it tries to ask the question in the most interesting manner possible," and added that "[they] wanted the effects to be done right in front of your eyes" so that "the magic and illusion are all the more powerful." About the concept behind the video, White said:
In an interview with The Wire, Björk said that the video "[is] about the argument between hunting experiences and stopping and settling." She has also stated to Interview that she identifies with polar bears because "they're very cuddly and cute and quite calm, but if they meet you they can be very strong." Freeze Frame wrote:

Recognition
"Hunter" was the runner-up for the Prix PIXEL-INA Vidéoclip at the 1999 Imagina festival. At the 2000 Fantasporto film festival of Porto, Portugal, Björk received the Audience Choice award for the music video.

Live performances
Björk presented the song —and three more songs off the then-unreleased Homogenic— at the Tibetan Freedom Concert on 6 June 1997, as a sneak peek of the album. She performed with Mark Bell, who was raised at the rear of the stage surrounded by keyboards and sequencers, and with the Icelandic String Octet conducted by Eumir Deodato at one side of the stage. She wore a pink dress designed by Hussein Chalayan, which she would later wear in the video for "Bachelorette" and photoshoots. That July, Björk performed the whole album for a press conference and presentation concert regarding Homogenic at the Old Truman Building, an old beer factory in London, wearing the same outfit. During the brief Homogenic Promotional Tour, which took place from 31 August to 10 September 1997, "Hunter" was the opening track of the set. Björk also performed the track with the Icelandic String Octet and Mark Bell on the British TV show Later... with Jools Holland, a performance that was included in the 2003 DVD release of the same name.

The song was part of the set list of the Homogenic Tour which Björk embarked with Mark Bell and the Icelandic String Octet from late 1997 to early 1999. A performance of "Hunter" at the Cambridge Corn Exchange during the tour was included in the video release Live in Cambridge (2001). Björk's June 1998 performance of the song in Paris was released in Homogenic Live, a live album of the tour included in the box set Live Box (2003). "Hunter" was also performed —usually as the opening track— during the Greatest Hits Tour of 2003, which once again featured the Icelandic String Octet, but with the addition of Vespertine World Tour collaborators Matmos and Zeena Parkins.

"Hunter" was also performed during the Volta Tour (2007–08), a tour she undertook with Mark Bell, Jónas Sen, Damian Taylor, Chris Corsano and a 10 piece female brass band. Several of the concerts were part of festivals, including Coachella, Glastonbury and Rock en Seine, among others. Live performances of "Hunter" during the tour were included in the box set Voltaïc (2009), specifically the CD Songs from the Volta Tour Performed Live at the Olympic Studios and the DVD The Volta Tour ("Live in Paris"). The track was also part of the set list of Björk's latest tour, the Biophilia Tour (2011–13), whose schedule featured both a residency format and a conventional stage format for the festival dates. "Hunter" was performed mainly at festival dates and outdoor facilities.

Thirty Seconds to Mars version
In 2005, American rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars covered "Hunter" and placed it as a bonus track on their second studio album, A Beautiful Lie. The song was not originally a part of the album, but was recorded and added to the track listing after the album leaked several months before it was to be released. It changes the word "Scandinavian" for "American" in the line "I thought I could organize freedom/How Scandinavian of me!", and the line "You just didn't know me" was added towards the end of the song. Brian Orloff from the Tampa Bay Times was impressed with the cover version, writing that Thirty Seconds to Mars erects "riveting tension" in its "almost trip-hop" rendition of the song. Rock Sound magazine also responded positively to the track and described it as "an absinthe-soaked techno rendering." Kaj Roth from Melodic felt that the band "really caught the spirit" of the song; however, Kirsty Krampf of DIY thought it was "a criminal re-hash."

If you haven't heard about peak oil, you've got some reading to do. Many sites on the internet offer dire predictions of oil prices going through the roof. The simplistic explanation is that we are running out of oil, and in fact our peak oil production has either peaked already or is about to peak real soon. Does it mean we will run out of oil?
I don't think we will, but when gas costs more than bottled water we are going to start looking at other energy alternatives pretty hard. And I think that in this sense, peak oil is a good thing. Americans have had cheap gas for way too long and buy too many cars that are way too big. When I fill up my tank in Brazil it costs about R$60,00 which is about the price of a bottle of Johnny Walker Red Label Scotch. So everytime I fill up the tank, it's like a bottle of scotch.
As gasoline prices get more and more expensive, only the rich will be able to afford to drive. Americans will begin to discover public transportation, or will buy a bike. In Brazil we have lot's of energy options, half use gas, but many also run on ethanol, diesel and LPG (liquid propane gas). You can buy hybrid cars that run on gas or ethanol and the car automatically adjusts for the type it is burning.
I think, over time, we will see people changing their habits because of the high price of gas. People will move out of the suburbs and closer to work so that they can walk. Or will choose an apartment because it is walking distance to a subway. By living in the city we save a tremendous amount of gasoline. When food is shipped to our neighborhood it will reach a lot of people instead of a small community, this saves on fuel. We can walk or take public transportation to go to restaurants or the gym.
After 10 years of living with enormously high oil prices I can see consumption being cut by half. People will use their car less, and will buy more economic cars. Cars using renewable energy sources will become more common but will take a long time (40 years?) before they are more common than gasoline driven cars.
I forsee that eventually all new homes and many existing homes will be built with some solar panels. Especially, in the south, were air conditioning is common, solar panels to drive air conditioning makes a lot of sense. For people like me, who use computers a lot I wouldn't mind having battery backup and solar panels to protect me when the power goes out. Even if it takes me 20 years to earn back the money I spent on a solar system it might be worth it for me. And with the price of electricity going up I can see it taking a lot less time to recoup my investment.
If you have a gas guzzling car today I would recommend putting it on the market soon, because in a few years you wont be able to give it away!

Q: Clips explode$ used in function to make user input an integer I currently try to design a decision tree that consists of defrules and binds either question or prints conclusion depending on the answers provided by the user in Clips.
What I am trying to do in WX clips currently is for the user to input a value - number and depending on the number given, print out either a conclusion or ask another question.
Example:
(defrule potatoes-eaten?
  (vegetable-eaten "potato") ;this is the answer to the previous question
  =>
(bind ?reply (get-text-from-user "What is the total number of potatoes you have eaten?(please input integer value"))
(assert (potatoesEaten (explode$ ?potatoesEaten)))
)

Let's say if the person ate more than 10 potatoes, the conclusion will be a 'your belly will hurt, please consult with doctor'
If a person ate less than 10, and user input will be lower than 10 then I would like to assert another question.
Any clue on how I can do it?
Thank you very much for your help

A: Assuming that the wxCLIPS function get-text-from-user returns a string (such as "10"), you need to modify your potatoes-eaten function so that the variable ?reply is provided as an argument rather than the variable ?potatoesEaten which was not previously assigned a value in the rule.
(defrule potatoes-eaten?
  (vegetable-eaten "potato") ;this is the answer to the previous question
  =>
  (bind ?reply (get-text-from-user "What is the total number of potatoes you have eaten?(please input integer value"))
  (assert (potatoesEaten (explode$ ?reply))))

You can then add some rules to process the response:
(defrule hurt-belly
   (potatoesEaten ?eaten&:(> ?eaten 10))
   =>
   ; Call the appropriate wxCLIPS function for displaying your message
   )

    (defrule no-hurt-belly
       (potatoesEaten ?eaten&:(<= ?eaten 10))
       =>
       ; next question
    )

Armsby Abbey was brought to life by husband and wife team, Alec Lopez & Sherri Sadowski. Aiming to fill a void within the culinary scene in Worcester, MA, in 2008, Sherri & Alec departed on the journey to what would eventually become Armsby Abbey.
Alec who was born on a vineyard in Argentina grew up in a host of family operated small businesses that strived to serve comforting food utilizing local, seasonal ingredients. Sherri was born and raised on a small farm in Rhode Island where her first Summer job was that of a farm stand selling the fruits & vegetables she helped grow with her grandparents. For Sherri & Alec, Armsby Abbey was a way to go back to where they began and move forward in a way they envision themselves enjoying seasonal, handcrafted food & drink today.
Through hard work and dedication, Armsby Abbey has become one of the top craft beer destinations in the world since opening its doors on July 31, 2008. This gastropub offers a seasonal farmhouse menu showcasing Chef, Sean Dacey's, New American cuisine via products sourced from area farms and greenhouses. A celebration of the conscientious SLOW Food ideals and the artisan craftsmanship of food and beverage, Armsby Abbey has been recognized by its peers internationally as a craft beer mecca.
Sherri & Alec reside with their son here in Worcester, Massachusetts. When not working or carting their son to one activity or another they can be found tending to their own gardens, traversing the globe in the name of food & drink, or relaxing by the ocean.
In addition to Armsby Abbey, they also own the renowned Dive Bar in the Canal District, opened the artisan bakery, Crust, at 118 Main Street in 2014 (sold in 2017), and are in the process of opening a Mexican inspired restaurant, Cónico, in Hudson, Massachusetts (opening 2019).

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the undisputed leader in cloud computing, but Salesforce Heroku offers something the tech giant just can't match: agility. And though AWS just released a new suite of GPU instances (with capabilities in machine learning and modeling), Heroku will continue to be the first choice for tech startups worldwide.
Why? Because small companies have limited resources, fewer workers and funds to draw from. So it's a lot more convenient for them to build on Heroku, where they can push code without worrying about advanced server customizations. Heroku's still scalable, and works across industries (though we see it concentrated mainly in tech.) That makes it easier for startups to leverage labor over cost, long-term.
We looked at worldwide adoption for both platforms in the last year. What we found might be surprising.
We mentioned that AWS prevails in a diverse set of industries, compared to Heroku's tech dominance. As is the case with Marketing Automation, this could be on the verge of a shift. As smaller teams take on web and app development, we'll see Heroku expand into industries like Finance and Retail. AWS will likely remain the leader in Hospitals and Healthcare, since it's so engrained in that space.
51% of AWS customers are headquartered in the US, along with 48% of businesses that use Heroku. That gives Heroku an opportunity to expand internationally in a way that AWS has neglected to in the past two years. That the two share top countries (US, UK, Canada, and India, with France and Australia close for fifth) could make competition fierce.
As we've written on Quora, Heroku tends to be the platform of choice for startups. Still, many small companies spring for the customer service and additional server capabilities of AWS. Since we know most companies in general fall into the SMB category, we can safely extrapolate that Heroku's customer base will continue to expand along the same lines as AWS—concentrated in SMB, but with steady growth on the enterprise level.
Who is using AWS and Heroku?
Despite the differences, several enterprise-sized companies use AWS and Heroku on their various teams. These companies include Cognizant, Autodesk, General Electric, Deloitte, Cisco, Salesforce, Accenture, and Verizon.
Among the 347,760 companies developing with AWS, we found Ericsson, Lockheed Martin, Ellie Mae, Choice Hotels, Syniverse, Reed Business Information, and Infor.
And of the 9,353 companies using Heroku, we've identified Agile Ventures, Neon Mob, Beyond Curious, Chiron Health, Specialized Cycling, IronHack, and Full Stack Academy.

Background: In a nutshell, the Barnes discovered that someone was re-writing Hubbard bulletins and they they were excommunicated for making that discovery.
Internal "Knowledge Reports" exchanged in the organization in accordance with Scientology's "Ethics" procedures while the Barnes' fought to clear their names and to get Hubbard's technology applied correctly during the upper OT levels.

index.html

        <meta charset="utf-8">

main.js
require.config({

    shim: {
        'backbone': {
            deps: ['underscore', 'jquery'],
            exports: 'Backbone'
        },
        'underscore': {
            exports: '_'
        }
    }

define([
    'router'

    router
){
    Backbone.history.start();
});

router.js
    define([
        'backbone',

         Backbone,
         scoreboard
    ){

        var Router = Backbone.Router.extend({

                // TODO
            }
        });

        return new Router();
    });

scoreboard.js
define([
    'backbone',
    'tmpl/scoreboard'
], function(
    Backbone,
    tmpl
){

    var View = Backbone.View.extend({

        template: tmpl,
        initialize: function () {
            //console.log("Woohoho");
            //this.listenTo(this.model, "change", this.render);
        },
        render: function () {
            //console.log(this.template());
            //this.$el.html(this.template(this.model.toJSON()));
            this.template();
            this.$el.html(this.template());
        },
        show: function () {
            //console.log("show");
            this.$el.html(this.template());

        },
        hide: function () {
            alert("Hide");
            // TODO
        }

    });

    return new View();
});

tmpl/scoreboard.js is generated from template if i console.log(this.template()); i'll see valid html code. But in browser i see nothink, whitescreen. How i can display my template?

A: Add the el element to your view like this :
var View = Backbone.View.extend({
    el: '#page',
    ....
