Motion and Emotion: The Films of Wim Wenders
Though very polite and British, this feature-length documentary about German filmmaker Wim Wenders offers the most penetrating insights and the best overall critique of his work that I have encountered anywhere. Paul Joyce, who directed it, has also made documentaries about Nicolas Roeg, David Cronenberg, Nagisa Oshima, and Dennis Hopper, and he knows the conventional format well enough to get the most out of it. There are good clips and interesting commentaries from the interviewed subjects, who include Wenders himself, cinematographer Robby Muller, filmmaker Sam Fuller, novelist Patricia Highsmith, musician Ry Cooder, actors Harry Dean Stanton, Peter Falk, and Hanns Zischler, and critic Kraft Wetzel, who is especially provocative. A must-see for Wenders fans, highly recommended for everyone else. –Jonathan Rosenbaum, 1989
FMovies Review:
My favorite movie from year 1990. Most movies, even the greatest ones, evaporate like mist once you've returned to the real world; they leave memories behind, but their reality fades free quickly. But not Motion and Emotion: The Films of Wim Wenders. If a movie can manage me to stay hooked on the whole movie online, that's fucking impressive.
It is a movie that truly knows what it is and wastes not even a second in conveying what that is. I did not know anything about this movie before, I did not even see a trailer, but I enjoyed it very much in the first place. Special effects, action and characters give this high rating.
I'm not a true fan of documentary, but I'm like that too! There is no place like FMovies with free movie online so I uploaded this full movie here, now every single person can watch this movie online free.

Long Island, NY, June 13, 2012 – Children's Mercy Hospital and Clinics, Kansas City, is one of only 60 hospitals in the country solely dedicated to the care of patients under the age of 18. Children's Mercy is the only freestanding children's hospital located between St. Louis and Denver, also has the distinction of being among the most innovative with its large scale adoption of AccuVein vein illumination. Children's Mercy recently incorporated 32 AV300's into their standard of care across the facility. AccuVein Inc., is the global leader in vein illumination and the creator of the AV300, the world's only hand-held, non-contact vein illumination device.
Children's Mercy serves more than 15,000 in-patients annually along with 327,000 out-patient visits and 142,500 emergency room and urgent care visitors per year. With such an active facility the administrators, doctors and nurses are always seeking medical technologies and devices, such as the award-winning AccuVein AV300, that can improve and streamline patient care.
With almost a dozen years on the nursing team at Children's Mercy, Robin Starr, RN, BSN, MBA, CPN, CMRP, has been a part of the hospital's dynamic growth. In addition to her PRN shifts in the Emergency Room, Starr also performs value analysis, providing information and recommendations for new devices and technologies.
"Our strategic goals compel us to take every measure possible to decrease the chance of infection and reduce pain, both physical and psychological. We have an obligation to our patients to be equipped with the most effective tools to provide the highest level of care and service," said Starr.
The reaction of the Children's Mercy professionals is consistent with the findings of the Patient Satisfaction Survey recently released by AccuVein. With patient satisfaction being a key and growing measure of success in healthcare today, because of the passage of the Affordable Care Act, hospitals will be paid for inpatient acute care services based upon care quality, not just the quantity of the services provided. This will create even more competition between hospitals to satisfy patients, with those garnering the best scores receiving more money.
AccuVein's study found that 93% of patients would give a hospital a higher satisfaction score if vein illumination were utilized. Furthermore, 94% of patients expressed the desire to have vein illumination used each time they were stuck, suggesting a desire to have a facility-wide adoption of the technology. In fact, patients felt so strongly about the technology that they said they would be willing to drive an extra 14 miles to go to a hospital that used a vein illumination device such as the AV300.
In addition, patients expressed positive feelings about the caregivers using vein illumination. Specifically, 98% of patients said they would appreciate the extra effort of a medical care provider who used vein illumination, a strong indication that the use of a vein illumination device could facilitate a more positive nurse/patient interaction.
Venipuncture is the most common invasive medical procedure worldwide, with an estimated 2.7 million procedures conducted every day in the United States alone. Studies show that up to one third of the attempts to access a vein fail the first time, creating unnecessary patient discomfort as well as additional costs. Patients overwhelmingly endorse vein illumination because it improves caregivers' ability to access veins. It does this by projecting a safe pattern of light on a patient's skin that reveals the position of underlying veins.
For more information about the AccuVein AV300 or to request a copy of the Patient Preference Survey go to https://www.accuvein.com.
AccuVein Inc. is a global leader in vein illumination. Its breakthrough product, the AV300, allows health care professionals to see a map of peripheral veins on the skin's surface with the goal of improving vascular access procedures including blood draw, IV infusion and blood donation.
The AV300 is the world's only portable, non-contact vein illumination solution. It is built on AccuVein's proprietary technology as embodied in its growing patent portfolio that covers a broad range of imaging and medical diagnostic technologies.
The AV300 is in use at more than 2,000 hospitals and available for sale in 100 countries worldwide. To see a demonstration of vein illumination with the AV300, please visit accuvein.com.
Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics, located in Kansas City, Mo., is one of the nation's top pediatric medical centers. The 319-bed hospital provides care for children from birth through the age of 18, and has been ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of "American's Best Children's Hospitals" and recognized by the American Nurses Credentialing Center with Magnet designation for excellence in nursing services. Its faculty of 600 pediatricians and researchers across more than 40 subspecialties are actively involved in clinical care, pediatric research, and educating the next generation of pediatric subspecialists.

Bills DE Shaq Lawson invites kids from foundation to attend practice in Spartanburg
By: Jenna Callari
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WKBW) — The last two days have been a homecoming of sorts for a lot of guys on the Buffalo Bills squad including head coach Sean McDermott and General Manager Brandon Beane who both worked for the Panthers years ago.
For one player on the team though, this wasn't a homecoming to a former organization. It was going back home.
Defensive end Shaq Lawson is from South Carolina and on Wednesday, he had dozens of kids from the Shaq Lawson Foundation attend the team's joint practice with the Carolina Panthers. All of the kids are from the Carolinas and some of them don't have father figures. Lawson said he needed a mentor like that when he was a kid and that's why he wanted to give back.
"The kids have probably never seen an NFL practice," Lawson said. "I know a lot of kids are probably Carolina fans but some cheer for me. To have them out here at practice, they've never been before, so it's kind of great to see so many faces."
Lawson's mother, Rolitha Walker, was also in attendance. She spoke about her son and his mission saying, "It takes me back to my days with him at Clemson watching the players. He was always 'I'm gonna be like him, I wanna be like him', and today I'm watching his dream. A lot of days I get teary eyed, a lot of days I cry here."
"I had older guys doing the same thing for me when I was younger," Lawson added. "So I told myself as a kid if I get the opportunity to do it, I want to do the same thing."
Lawson and his family plan on taking some of the kids from the Foundation Christmas shopping later on Wednesday. The presents will then be put aside and will be opened on Christmas morning.

The new layout does look a lot better, but before deleting the old layout, can we make sure we're not losing any useful links? For example, currently the "Special:Allpages" link is only in the old layout. -- dooglus 12:27, 26 December 2007 (EST)
We can add al that links in the left bar if you think its ok.
I'm personally a fan of the organization of [processing.org]

The 0.61.08 download image needs to say "Synfig Animation Studio" instead of "Synfig"
pabs 04:27, 6 April 2008 (EDT)
I saw there's a way to remove the toolbox for un-connected people, maybe we could do that, as the links in the toolbox are only usefull to connected persons.
And then, add the "Sidebar" back to the left side, with much more links in it (like, the ones from the bottom of the main page, that I even removed on the Main_Page.fr), that would be great.
And have a "Topbar" page or just some fixed link for the topbar, with only "Home / About / Download / Gallery / Screenshots / Tutorials / Forums " in a smaller font, and a lighter color (not-visited pages are #2A4D66 on #030336 and they're hardly visible at 1st sight).

There's a thick black nothing between the left hand boxes and the main central page content. -- dooglus 15:31, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
I'd like to see more links in the left hand boxes - at least "all pages" should be there, and things like "people", "bugs", "press", etc from the top would be better at the side. There are too many links across the top. We should just have the most useful ones there. -- dooglus 15:31, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
[1] shows some remaining problems:
the border of the top image is different widths on the two sides
the text links and search box on the right are hidden by the image
the image text isn't readable
the image text mis-spells "beatiful"
Website navigation reorganization plan
Ok, let's begin a breakout of all that mess what we have now.
It's a shame, what synfig.org have website navigation, which confuses not only newbies, but also a community regulars. So, what could we do about that?
The main problem is the side bar, which contain too much elements scattered around almost without any logic.
Rore : It seems you completely forgot the existence of the top bar. It has every element you talk about (Home, About, Download, Screenshot (can be changed by Gallery), Documentation, etc.) But as I say a few months ago, the links are too dark to be clearly visible.
It take a long time to look through all elements and to decide which one you really need. Who is read all elements at the side bar from top to bottom? No one? I guess so. So it should contain minimal count of menu elements and be as intuitive as possible.
Imagine what you are a person, who visits synfig.org for the first time. He may not ever know what Synfig is all about, so the first thing what you need is the About link.
NOTE: Why not to place Screenshots into About page? Or maybe just place a link to screenshots to about page? It's all related...
Some screenshots in the about page is definitely a good idea. The About link is the 2nd one on top, just after the home - but when links are not visited, their color is too dark to be clearly seen. Rore 17:14, 20 July 2008 (EDT)
Next, if he read about Synfig is and got interested, the next thing what potential user wants to know is what Synfig capable to do. Here comes the Gallery link.
ANOTHER NOTE: Gallery page should be restructured and redesigned. First of all it should be splited int two sections - "Pictures" and "Videos".
Pictures should be arranged into the table. Each picture should have caption, thumbnail, author credits, and link to the source (if possible).
Videos also should be arranged into a single table, but one video per row. It should contain thumbnail, caption, author, short description, link to the source (if possible). Also it would be nice to have not only link to youtube version, but to downloadable oggTheora file.
Pxegeek Whilst I support the use of OggTheora, I'm probably one of the few Windows users that can play them. Is MPG/MPG2 sufficiently industry standard to be allowed? I agree that avoiding WMP or QT is preferable.
Zelgadis : MPG/MP2 is proprietary formats. I am not against using them, but it's better to give preference to open formats. With appropriate instructions how to play them.
All thumbnails should be aligned by size.
Why we have so few items at the gallery? Why "Cut the circle" is not there? The first thing we should encourage people is to publish their works on the Gallery page!
OK, inspired by all beautiful art, user wants to try ut the Synfig package. That's right, he goes to Download section.
NOTE AGAIN: We don't need the 'Contents' at the top of Download page. It takes one third of the whole space! Why is each distribution arranged as heading? Make it a list of items! Why is License and Documentation here?
Pxegeek I think you answered your own question - we have contents list because each distro has its own heading. Personally, I'd like to see a separate download page for Linux, Windows & Mac, where we can talk about all the features that are specific to that OS/ binary compilation (e.g. no dv support under windows).
Rore : I agree with pixelgeek, about having different pages for the 3 main OS, it will make things clearer for people. However, you can still remove the big Table Of Content at the top by adding __NO TOC__ to the page (without the space - but it's interpreted if I don't add it).
After downloading and installing Synfig, user suddenly realizes what he is not able to learn it by himself and he needs... Documentation!
After playing with synfig a little more user is makes something what he needs to show up or stucking with a problem which solution he couldn't find in documentation. Then he needs to Contact with community. And the Forums (cause many people I know don't even aware about IRC).
After all if user is also a coder and willing to implement all new features that he is missing, or just wants to contribute to code, then he will search for Development section.
What's last? Of course Get involved!
About, Gallery, Download, Documentation, Development, Forums, Contact, Development, Get involved - is the top level of the navigation hierarchy. Those pages should guide to the less general pages. I.e. About could guide to Screenshots and Press, Documenation could suggest Manual,Tutorials and Reference. And so on. Of course this could be not strict hierarchy - i.e. Forums could also appear as a link at the Community page. Maybe it could be nice to have some News on the Home page.
Genete I think that the main problem is that the side bar (and the top bar) are static. Most of the cool web pages changes its sidebar according to the context they are navigating on the moment. For instance if you're at home page you don't need a "home" link. I would like some sort of expandable side navigation bar that would show the main needed links according on what you're looking for in that moment. if this kind of navigation can be done I suggest something more impacting like:
What is Synfig?: and its sub links: About, History, Screenshots, Features, Documentation.
What Synfig can do?: Gallery Films, Video, Still, Contests.
I want Synfig!: Download, Build. And a sub section per distro.
Need Help!: Documentation, Forum (include direct links for each section), Contact.
Want to Help?: Development, etc.
(separated section) Toolbox: with all those special links.
The sub menus hierarchy should be expanded a level more when needed. For example for the Documentation entry. And definitively remove the top bar. Ah! and make the left bar translatable!.
Zelgadis : I thought about the dynamic sidebar, but is MediaWiki could provide this feature without installing additional extensions? Better to ask pabs3...
That's what we placing at the left sidebar at the navigation section. Oh, dooglus asked for the "All pages" link. All that wiki stuff (All pages, Recent changes, Random Page, etc) I suggest to place at the left sidebar too, but in separate section.
About top of each page. I suggest to remove all that navigation links from top and place there a wiki edit butons - Article, Discussion, Edit, History. Cause with current design it's hard to scroll to the bottom of each page to get access to them. It'll be more friendly to place them on top.
Pxegeek - And they don't wrap well on narrow screens - reducing the button count there would be a Good Thing.
Genete Yeah duplicate navigation bars is not a good idea.
Here I exposed my plan of improving the wiki. It could be considered as a roadmap for website development. Suggestions, opinions, oppositions? C'mon, People, don't stay aside! We have a lot of content - now it's time to make it look attractive and respectable!
Where should I ask questions about the wiki?
Most wikis have a page for asking questions, making suggestions, and generally discussing how to improve the wiki. A discussion page, or a cafe, or a water cooler, etc. What's the right place on this wiki for general questions and suggestions?
--D.j.a.y (talk) 06:21, 4 June 2013 (UTC) Actually most of synfig informations are shared by the forum, here the link for doc section [[2]]
(I was going to ask what the bones framework is. The website news makes it sound like an important feature, but there's nothing in the wiki about it.) Ciaran (talk) 02:15, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
--D.j.a.y (talk) 06:21, 4 June 2013 (UTC) Nothing but this one Dev:Bone_Layer that is not very user friendly... you can copy/organize bones infos from the forum in a nice Skeleton_Layer page if you want to start documenting it...
Suggestion: use lower case for page titles
Page titles on this wiki are sometimes written with a capital letter for each word, and sometimes written in lower case letters. The choice of one style or the other seems to be random, so I'd like to propose a policy: use lower case letters when possible.
Why? When a page title uses capital letters for each word, it is more difficult to link to it in normal wiki text. Here's an example of linking to a page whose title uses capitals:
The dialogue box on the right lets you change the [[New Layer Defaults|new layer defaults]].
or without capitals:
The dialogue box on the right lets you change the [[new layer defaults]].
That said, there are some page titles where capitals are ok such as pages with the name of a synfig concept such as Text Tool. Synfig's text tool is called "Text Tool", and if synfig wants that to be in capital letters then it can be in capital letters. But examples of pages which use generic words and should thus be lower case are:
Building Documentation
Multiplane Camera
Parabolic Shot
Sewing Splines
Subtracting Shapes
Tracking Curves
Environment Variables
Switching Scenes
Writer Documentation
Is it ok if I start to change the titles which use generic words and convert them to lower case?
MediaWiki will automatically make redirect pages for the old page names, so this change will cause absolutely no broken links or other problems.
(Another inconvenience is that a lot of pages use template:L for links ({{l|Cow|cow}} instead of the normal [[cow]]), so I'm currently replacing these links with normal links. My goal is to remove anormalities and needless complexity from the wiki in the hope of making it easier for people to contribute.) Ciaran (talk) 23:59, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
--Zelgadis (talk) 16:36, 31 December 2014 (UTC) Hello, Ciaran. IMy name is Konstantin Dmitriev, I am an administrator of Synfig Wiki. Please do not replace template:L and {{l|Cow|cow}} notation - they have a special purpose. As you probably noticed, this wiki have a support of localization to multiple languages. The special "L" template makes it possible to have language pages automatically display they titles in proper language. All those "anomalies" are documented at this page - Meta:Template_Style_And_Syntax. THe special templates, like "L", "Title" and others make the localization mechanic work on this wiki. In the future we plan to migrate to other mechanism (powered by "Transifex:Live") and then we will be able to switch back to "regular" notations and remove the special templates. But until then, please follow the guides.
I understand how template:title helps with localisation but I don't understand how template:L helps. And I don't see any explanation on Meta:Template_Style_And_Syntax. People trying to understand this strange link syntax will go to template:L, so there should be documentation there, or a link to documentation. Ciaran (talk) 17:23, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
P.S. About the capitalization. Please keep the titles capitalized, because (in my opinion) "new layer defaults" looks worse, comparing to "New Layer Defaults" when displayed in the titles list.
That would be fixed by your template:title. The page could be "new layer defaults" and at the top of the page could be {{title|New Layer Defaults}}. Ciaran (talk) 17:23, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Dev: Doc: .... namespaces are they useful?
Note: another inconvenience on this wiki is that some pages are prefixed with "Dev:" or "Doc:", which also means that linking to those pages in a normal sentence requires extra syntax. IMO these prefixes are of no help and Dev:Coding Conventions and Doc:Following a Spline should be renamed to coding conventions and following a Spline.
Dev: Doc: are namespaces . Ie , when an (regular) user do a search, it is done on regular pages only, nothing about Dev will come out. I think me must keep namespaces --D.j.a.y (talk) 08:25, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
That's awful! I just confirmed it: I typed "Following a Spline" into the search box, hit [Search], and I didn't find the page "Doc:Following a Spline"! Can you see that this is unintuitive and unhelpful :-) Ciaran (talk) 09:02, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Yep "Doc:" prefix could be remove in some cases.... but not "Dev:" ones ! --D.j.a.y (talk) 09:52, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Are there cases where "Doc:" shouldn't be removed?
I see two reasons to get rid of "Dev:". One is that, if someone comes to the wiki and types "coding conventions" into the search box, there is no advantage in not showing them "Dev:Coding Conventions" in the results. The other is that, if someone comes to the wiki looking for developer documentation, there is no way for them to know that they have to go to advanced search and enable the Dev namespace if they want developer documentation.
I can see theoretical justifications for separating the pages, but the namespaces feature of MediaWiki is not a good way to do this. The solution is worse than the problem. (Maybe there is no good way to do this using MediaWiki.) Ciaran (talk) 10:21, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
The "Doc", "Dev" and other namespaces are intended to logicaly separate the pages. You are welcome to read this page about the structure - Meta:Wiki_Structure. The search problem you mentioned is an issue, that could be fixed by modifying the MediaWiki behaviour. I was planning to do that, but unfortunaely my time is limited, and I haven't ben able to dig into that yet. you are welcome to submit an issue about that to the special section of our bugtracker. --Zelgadis (talk) 16:36, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Hacking MediaWiki will take a full day or two, plus another day later for bug fixing, and then you'd have to maintain the patch for all future upgrades. That's a lot of work if you're busy.
There are lots of ways to logically separate things. You could include a template in all dev articles causing them to be in one category and to display "this is a dev article" at the top.
I think MediaWiki's namespaces feature is the wrong tool for this job. Categories are probably enough (or close enough), and they don't cause any unusual behaviour. Ciaran (talk) 18:32, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Can template:title and template:category be deprecated?
As mentioned above, I'm try to make this wiki easier to contribute to by removing anormalities and needless complexity.
I've noticed that a lot of pages have a {{title|}} at the top. For example, the page FAQ has three lines at the top:
<!-- Page info -->
{{Title|FAQ}}
<!-- Page info end -->
Does this do anything useful? If not, can I delete them when I see them?
Similarly, some pages have {{category|}}. For example, Canvas Menu Caret {{Category|Canvas Window}} at the top. This seems to be just an unusual way to add [[Category:Canvas Window]] to the page. Does it provide any other functionality? If not, I'd like to replace {{Category|Canvas Window}} with [[Category:Canvas Window]] and put them at the end of the article like in normal MediaWiki wikis.
I'm trying to get rid of unusual syntax so that people familiar with other MediaWiki wikis can contribute to wiki.synfig.org without having to try to understand the unusual syntax. Ciaran (talk) 06:00, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Please read this page about Title template - Meta:Template_Style_And_Syntax#Title_template. "Category" template provides support for localization mechanism as well. --Zelgadis (talk) 16:41, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
I understand now the purpose of template:title but I don't understand the purpose of template:category (or template:L). Ciaran (talk) 17:37, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Are tracking a b-line and following a curve functionally the same thing?
There are three tutorials:
Following a BLine (the very old way)
Doc:Following a Spline
I understand that they're not exactly the same thing, but they do have the same goal, and the third tutorial is the most modern way to achieve that goal. Can someone confirm this? Ciaran (talk) 08:10, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
"Following a BLine/Old Way" could be safely be archived i think....
"Following Spline" actually state of the doc (ugly formating!)
"Tracking Curves", i think we can keep it has it explain deeper the use of link/export, maybe this page should focus more on that point. --D.j.a.y (talk) 09:01, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for clarifying. I've updated the intro of those three pages now. Ciaran (talk) 09:17, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
I've converted the links back to template:L
For the pages that I edited, I've gone back now and converted all the normal links to template:L links.
It's your wiki, so I'll go with your decision, but I think this is shooting yourself in the foot if you want to attract new wiki contributors.
I can understand using template:title. It's only used once per page, and it only has to be written by the first person who makes the page, so it's almost invisible to other people editing the wiki. Changing a page's title is not normal, so translators might need to be reminded to do this.
Template:L is different because some pages use it dozens of times, and it is mixed into the page's content, so anyone who edits the page might have to use template:L, so they see this meta-syntax instead of normal MediaWiki syntax. This might make new contributors less likely to contribute. And, unlike template:title, I can't see any good reason for template:L.
Other suggestion: if you are going to replace MediaWiki syntax with your own custom meta-syntax, then it should be documented somewhere that new contributors will see.
I was going to do that myself, by adding links from the template pages to the documentation, but I can't because those template pages are locked. Is there a real reason for them to be locked? Have spambots or vandals ever abused your templates? Ciaran (talk) 12:09, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
P.S. template:L doesn't work fully for file links. Arguments like "left" and accompanying text get ignored. For example:
{{l|File:Track-Curve-tutorial-Follow-bline.gif|frame|left|Extract of Follow-bline as animated gif / 3s - 210ko / ffmpeg -i + gimp resize/export}}
Here it is with template:L - note that it's not on the left and the text isn't displayed
Here it is with normal MediaWiki syntax
This can be fixed by either:
I can change the links from template:L links back to normal links (and the documentation should be updated to tell people not to use template:L for internal file links); or
You can fix template:L (This might be easy: where you currently have 1 and 2, maybe you just need to add 3, 4, 5 and 6)

template:title doesn't change the title
If I understand correctly, template:title should change the title displayed at the top of the page, but User Documentation/fr has {{Title|Documentation Utilisateur}} at the top and yet the title displayed at the top of the page is "Glossaire".
I made some test pages and found the same problem:
template:title
title displayed
User:Ciaran/sandbox {{Title|sandbox}} User:Ciaran/sandbox
User:Ciaran/test2/fr {{title|essai}} User:Ciaran/test2/fr

I will be busy for the next while, so I probably won't leave any more comments. I hope my bug reports and suggestions were useful. Ciaran (talk) 11:12, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

The English: The Key to Integration in London programme was approved by IPB on 11 September 2013 and by MD1264 on 26 September 2013. It is funded by £0.5m GLA funding through the Mayor's London Schools Excellence Fund (LSEF) and £1.5m from the European Integration Fund (EIF), which is administered by the Home Office. The LSEF was approved by MD1132.
English: The Key to Integration in London aims to develop the capacity of schools in London to increase the levels of literacy of non-EU pupils with English as an Additional Language (EAL) and to evaluate the impact of increasing non-EU national mothers' level of English and involvement in the school on their children's sense of well-being and academic performance. In so doing, it also supports the integration of newly arrived non-EU third country nationals with English as an Additional Language.
This DD seeks approval for the allocation of funding of up to a maximum of £1,631,038 to individual projects to deliver the English: The Key to Integration in London programme, and the allocation of £80,000 for the evaluation of the programmes' impact of increasing non-EU national mothers' level of English and involvement in the school on their children's sense of well-being and academic performance. The authority for this decision was delegated to the Executive Director of Communities and Intelligence by MD1264.


Kiwi nurse Lucy Gallagher is working in South Sudan, where Red Cross is helping communities affected by conflict and famine.
A group of Red Cross volunteers in Nelson are connecting the community through a transport initiative.
More than 3,000 people in Havelock North were struck down with a gastroenteritis bug after the town water supply was contaminated.
Red Cross nurse Rolands has spent six months in Afghanistan, providing lifesaving services and home baked goodies to those who need it most.
Aid worker Chris describes how young children like Hawa are separated from their families, when either child or parents are suspected to have Ebola.
Judy says she has enjoyed her 35 years as a New Zealand Red Cross aid worker, and knows she has a unique set of skills that enables her to make a difference. With Judy's help people like Lucia, Oban and Mary can hopefully soon start rehabilitation, and the long journey back to independence.
Andrew writes about his work at the Ebola treatment centre, where survivors leave on the right-hand side of the centre and those who die, are buried with as much dignity as possible in the graveyard on the lefthand side of the centre.

What became of camp | Field notes from the Pacific coast
By pinklightsabre on June 17, 2017 • ( 9 )
This is a series of posts I started in late May and plan to continue for 40 days, with a goal of hitting 50,000 words by July 5. It's inspired by a three-day solo trek on the Washington coast, with side-story memoir scenes wrapped by a few themes. I'm writing each post live, pulling in stories I've drafted before or I'm writing for the first time, for this project. You can come and go (it's non-linear) or start at the beginning here, which is really the end.
After I got over the rock scramble it was maybe a mile back to the car, most of it along the shore, some in the forest. Most times if the tide's in you have to cross over a logjam vs. the beach to get back to the forest. This time with the tide out I could stay low on the wet, compacted sand. Other hikers appeared from the south just starting their hike, and with the fog/mist it was dramatic how they materialized as they neared. I always thought of the King Arthur film Excalibur, those battle scenes in the fog, the clank and gore of it, close combat. The scene where Merlin transforms Uther through the Charm of Making so Uther can sleep with the Duke of Cornwall's wife—and yields a gift for Merlin as payment, a baby boy, Arthur. Uther on a steed, galloping through fog, transforming as he approaches the castle. The awkward love-making/rape scene, 1981.
The beach, as beaches go, was always changing but remained the same. It was the memory of a generic beach, really. But this one was different, with all the logs. The logs I imagined got spit out from the river, where the river ran into the ocean and together, they worked that way: the river fed the ocean the logs and the ocean spun the logs, sanded them down, spit them back up onto the beach. It looked like a giant puzzle, emptied out and shuffled.
The first time we found it it seemed the logjam was more intense. Like higher, more logs. Each year I came back, there were less. Because the logs were wedged together they were easy to climb and jump across. Sometimes you could look down between the logs and get the sense it was a far way down, to the ground. And what awful things lived down there: surely rats, mice, snakes. Some detritus from the ocean, weathered plastics, bits of brightly colored fabric bleached out by sun.
But on my last day out, driving home later, there was none of that. I was too tired for log-hopping, I was grateful for sand. I rounded the beach at the end, where the river comes in and on the other side, you can see an outcropping of land they call the Lower Hoh, and a random shack with a light and paved road.
You come down where the river forms this estuary thing, an in-between staging area for the tidal exchange, some brackish green/blue water I sometimes drink from, but filter. And along the edges of it, a brown/gray lip of mud all around, tiny prints from the water fowl that linger there in groups; I startled a bunch as I came over the hill and in return they startled me, flying off.
And then you follow the river along a stretch that narrows from ocean beach to river shore, and you're back against a stand of trees, a forest, and have to look for a round sign that marks the entry point for the trail back into the woods, a short hike back to the car.
There was the large tree stump from the time Loren was with us and took a picture of me and the family, and the kids were really small: all of us squinting into the sun and brown/pink ourselves: late August, Labor Day weekend, and you can tell by the quality of light it's that late summer/early autumn sunset that's long, golden and pink, but doomed to disappear, you can feel it. The tree stump reminded me of a tooth, with its dangly roots. So big, the kids could climb up on it, likely hurt themselves if they fell.
And there was the grove of trees where we camped that first time, probably '97: me, Joe, and Joe's friend Miles: the three of us goofy pranksters, Joe with his dreadlocks and Miles, one of those stubby pony-tails, intellectual glasses, guitar cases, harmonicas, would-be musicians.
We were in our late 20s—and funny, thinking back about time, and how much of it it seemed we had then, like the faucet could just keep running indefinitely. I could leave my apartment without a care for days: my Cajun friend Myki would stay there and look after my two cats, my plants…and he'd play classical music for them even when he was out, insisting the plants responded to that, and they always looked better when I returned—I think he talked to them, too.
Joe, Miles and I camped a couple nights on the peninsula and had one more night left, but didn't know where to go—just thought we'd drive to the coast and rummage around for a spot. We stopped at a roadside place for beer, one of those places that mainly sells ice and bait, gas. We would have lingered there a while at the cooler gazing at the beer, trying to decide what kind: and we likely weren't very sharp by that point, a few days out camping.
The old guy at the counter described a good place, said you take the 101 to Forks and turn left past the Hoh res, to the Cottonwood rec area, but it's an 11 mile road and unpaved, so you have to go slow.
And sure enough he was right: it was a great, little trail through old growth, not long until you came to a point overlooking the river, an emerald, magic green: and then, a round, disc-shaped sign tacked high on a tree where you come out on the sand, follow it for a bit to the base of the ocean shore, and there was a graveyard of smoothened trees all jammed together, some lean-to's established: but Miles found a killer spot just inside the forest, on the edge of the beach: and it was raining/misting but we were protected by that under a canopy of maple, and got to setting things up and cracked a beer, and wondered at the magic of it all, with no one else around.
I have a picture from that camp Joe must have given me, back when it was all film-photos: there's the ocean behind us, the color tones all beige, gray and brown: save the fact I'm wearing one of those one-piece thermal underwear things with the buttons in the back you have to undo when you need to go, it's bright red.
Coming back again to Oil City with Dawn or others, I'd poke around looking for that spot. It was hard to remember where exactly it was in the trees, and every year the brush was different. Once I thought I found it but it was destroyed, everything broken up, battered in. There'd been some logs where you could sit and cook, a makeshift fire-pit…but with the winter storms and surf, everything got rearranged. You had to let things go like that I knew, but it was hard not to reconstruct it.
And that time Loren took the photo of me and the family by the tree stump, it must have been the trip he told me driving out they were pregnant, and the following spring it was a boy (Arthur). And I think we were in Pennsylvania for Easter when I got the text he'd arrived.
I came to the spot where I'd always look down at the river to say goodbye, the end of the trail, the reverse feeling coming in: when I started this hike the scale of it looked different, like the river was much closer. I joked, wondered with myself if it was just really high from all the glacial runoff. Now it looked so much farther down, a really bad fall, you could kill yourself: but I pictured jumping off the edge to clear the rocky cliff walls below, as I had at times in Eastern Washington with Joe, jumping into Soap Lake, or the Potholes state park. I wouldn't be jumping into lakes or quarries like that, probably ever again.
No, I'd come out to think through and process this strange malaise that surfaced with a singer killing himself. I didn't even like the music that much, hadn't listened to it in a while. Couldn't understand why it shook me the way it did. But it felt like something good had to come from it, for him or for me, as a way of balancing things out.

Funny you remember that Excaliber film – and then the resonance of Loren's baby being called Arthur coming near the end and the place reminding you of the film when your previous post was about your trip to Ireland (where Excaliber was shot) and the director of Excaliber (John Boorman) having also directed Deliverance with its closeness to the wild water and the landscape. Resonances everywhere – planned or coincidental, or planned coincidences? 🙂
Ha, I love you pulled in that detail about Excaliber being shot in Ireland. I didn't know that until I did my little research on it before I put it in the post. I'd probably be disappointed (maybe not) seeing it again, but all those odd, little details in that film just thrill me. The performance by the actor who played Merlin, his queer eyes! Reminds me of Mick Fleetwood, the drummer. And the evil, slimy quality of the boy prince/son of Morgana, and their vileness. Such a cool film. I love you read what I write so closely, thank you…I'm in this odd realm of 'touched' kind of inspiration to complete this project and feeling for the first time a real fatigue from writing and working, and all the daylight we have this time of year…an odd combination, kind of manic. But…let's move on…! Did you or are you buying a new house?! I need help stepping out of myself. I'm a bad correspondent, do tell when you can, please! Here's to planned coincidence! Bill
Nicol Williamson – that was the actor who played Merlin, and very 'actorly' he was too! Theatrical, though that suited the role I think. The Arthur myth has some real complexity to it – all the characters are flawed (Lancelot and Guinevere, betraying the king, who is pretty ineffectual at times) with a properly downbeat ending where the lead MC dies! And when exactly is he coming back to save England in its hour of greatest need? If that wasn't when Hitler was bombing the crap out of us, when is it? 🙂 Yes, buying a house – signed the papers this morning and signed over a huge wodge of cash to the solicitor too! Hopefully moving in the first week of July. It's 30 + degrees here today, so I'm hoping it's cooled down by then. When does your long writing stint end? Sounds like you could do with a break. Take care
Gosh I can't believe you're doing all you are in the midst of buying a house…but congratulations! And hope it cools for you there, soon…or at night. I do need a break, but enjoying it…probably a good 2 more weeks and then I am at 50K. Hit 3 weeks yesterday so perhaps less even, 10 days-ish….then I'm going to D.C. (Our capitol) for a week-long work thing. Not much of a break but kind of! Bill
I know what you mean about the self imposed writing structure – it kind of feels like a tyranny, but at the same time it's an enjoyable one! Enjoy Washington. Must be a fascinating place to be, especially with all the drama that's happening at the moment.
ksbeth
like lynn, i thought about the excalibur/arthur references. and the aftermath of battle and new life and paths crossing
Too funny, right. Sounds contrived/made-up. Funny when you have to change reality so it doesn't sound made-up. Pleh.
lonelykeyboards
I, too, was drawn in deeply by the reference to Boorman's Excalibur with the wonderful Nicol Williamson and the disturbing insemination. The return of (Arthur) near the end was neat. Lucky he wasn't called Dwayne, eh?
The pictures of bleached tree trunks and logjams caught my imagination too.
Really nice, Bill.
Bruce (via a new less entirely music-centred blog called Lonely Keyboards)
Ah, the disturbing insemination, indeed. Right, good he wasn't Dwayne. Nothing against Dwaynes, just not the same regalness. Regality, regalicious, and so on. Cheers and thank you for reading/commenting, Bruce. Bill

You will need to purchase an accessory downrod so that the fan blades have adequate spacing from the ceiling. In picking the proper down rod length ,remember your ceiling fan blades should be at least 84" above the floor.
You need to determine the angle of your ceiling. Refer to your owner's manual under Mounting Options. There you will find step-by-step instructions. Hunter's hanging systems included with the fan are designed to work on ceilings with an angle under 34o. If your ceiling has an angle greater than 34o, be sure to purchase an Angled ceiling mounting adapter kit.


Many years ago, a woman emailed to ask if I could design her new website. She had heard about my work through a colleague, saw my name listed on other websites, and gushed about my portfolio.
She clearly wanted to work with me and offered to pay half the project fee upfront (hooray! right?), just so we could skip all the formalities and start designing. It seemed like a dream—a good dream. Someone who loved my work was throwing money my way, and she wanted to start– right now!
I didn't set even one single expectation for the project, such as determining whether we were a good fit and defining her goals. I just started designing. What started as a happy dream turned into an epic nightmare when I sent her an initial mockup.
If both parties aren't perfectly clear about the deliverables, process, timeline, and shared responsibilities – in writing, before there's money on the table – you're basically jumping out a window and hoping it's not the 32nd floor.
Communication. Next, I talk to the potential client on the phone or through video. It's important to see how well we communicate, listen, and riff of each other's ideas. This conversation also brings their goals to life, because they explain their motivations and what drives their work. Even though this is a web design project, we talk a lot about their business and what I can do to help. The key to any great project is communication. Seriously.
Written proposal (hint, just use Bidsketch). I always put everything in writing before there's money involved. It's essential to be fully transparent – even though costs are mentioned in my onboarding process and we've discussed the deliverables in a call – about what services I'm providing, how much it will cost, and how long it will take to finish. Legally, it's good to have everything in writing, but it's even better to ensure both parties understand and accept the project terms, so we never reach the point where lawyers are screaming at a judge about witness badgering (like a scene from Law & Order). And if the client starts pushing for more, we can easily refer back to the signed agreement and project terms.
These three steps (onboarding, initial communication, and putting the project in writing) will help you to screen your clients more effectively and significantly reduce those bad project / bad client experiences. After all, you deserve the clients you get – and since you deserve great clients, make sure you do everything in your power to work with ones you're stoked about.

Steph and I happened to have hit up Point Reyes during wildflower season. We didn't intentionally plan to be there during that time...it just sort of worked out that way. It was a bonus we both very much enjoyed. Although now that I think about it, this was never actually articulated by Stephanie. I may be simply projecting my own feelings of the experience onto her. But whatever. I'm sure it's not that far from the truth...within a mile a so at the least.
Side note: I've been lucky in my travels of late to experience wildflower season unexpectedly...from our trip to Perth, Western Australia to Anza-Borrego. Not sure why the Universe is giving me this gift but I gladly accept it!
I hadn't brushed up on my wildflower identification skills in a while and was a bit rusty. I even got a few things wrong (mistakenly identifying foxglove as hollyhock for some damn reason) but Steph was quite forgiving. And she should have been considering she can't tell the difference between poison oak and California blackberry which at least I can.
If I didn't know what the heck I was looking at, it didn't matter (or I pretended it didn't matter). I simply snapped a few photos of the flower and when we got back to our little cottage, looked them up in my National Audubon Society's Field Guide to California (which is not the best resource but after a long day of hiking and a few vodka-lemonades will do the trick in a pinch).
The fun part was when Steph and I would quiz each other about our wildflower learnings (as well as other floral beauties I pointed out to her) on the trail. "Remember what this one is called?" she would ask. Or I'd say to her, "So, do you recall what is so special about this one?" Things we would never utter in casual conversation flew out of our mouths like a Charlie Sheen diatribe--likes disturbed areas, it's hairier than the other one, eat it and you'll wish you didn't have a stomach, I can never remember if it's cow's parsnip or cow's parsley, there's a leaf opposite the other, poppies love me.
Whatever the field guide couldn't tell me, I looked up on the internet when I got home. Most of the time, I'm fine with not being able to identify something out in "the wild" (in fact, I'm happy just to be able to know the difference between a hawk and an ant), but for some reason, not knowing the names of wildflowers drives me up the wall. On the other hand, I remind myself that I've forgotten how to spell the last name of my boyfriend in high school...and I knew him for three years! I sure as heck shouldn't put that much pressure on myself when it comes to flowers I see maybe once every year or so. Right?
There are still a few flowers I haven't been able to nail down yet, but a little time and distance has allowed me to stop fretting over their names, scientific or common, and just go with "that's a pretty wildflower we saw in Point Reyes." It's the same approach I take to handling questions about my car. When I make an oil change appointment and they ask, "What model car do you have?" I simply reply, "It's a white car." Or if I'm asked, "What kind of engine do you have?" I reply, "I have a convertible." You get the point.
I'm pretty sure with even more time and distance, I'll be happy just to be able to recall the trip at all. Now that I'm 40, I'm proud of myself when I remember what channel Modern Family is on. Regardless, I hope I never forget the feeling that comes with stepping smack dab into a vast space filled with wildflowers or spying tiny hints of new life that is everywhere in late winter and early spring. It is a feeling that reminds me that underneath it all, after long winters or nasty droughts, there are always--always--hidden gems hovering beneath the surface, waiting for the right moment to pop up, dazzle our senses, steal the spotlight, and leave us longing, and wishing, for more. It is the feeling of hope alive. It is the feeling of being alive.
And that, I never want to forget.

Q: Logoff remote system using c++ I am looking for an API to logoff current user on remote computer. Two
functions ExitWindows and InitiateSystemShutdown seem not exactly what I
want. The first one doesn't accept computer name, the second one doesn't
have logoff option.is it possible to logoff current user
on remote computer ?. Can someone tell me how to achieve this in a
C++ program?

A: I knew that you want to shutdown system by using exitwindows function.
However, if you want to shut down the remote system  in your own process, you need to use the exitwindowsEX function and write a program that specifies the process ID.
The relevant function references are as follows:
https://learn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/windows/win32/shutdown/how-to-shut-down-the-system
The following are specific codes:
#pragma region
#include<windows.h>
#pragma warning(disable:4996)
BOOL ReSetWindows(DWORD dwFlags, BOOL bForce)
{
    if (dwFlags != EWX_LOGOFF && dwFlags != EWX_REBOOT && dwFlags != EWX_SHUTDOWN)
        return FALSE;

    OSVERSIONINFO osvi = { 0 };
    osvi.dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof(OSVERSIONINFO);
    if (!GetVersionEx(&osvi))
    {
        return FALSE;
    }

    if (osvi.dwPlatformId == VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT)
    {
        //EnableShutDownPriv();
    }

    dwFlags |= (bForce != FALSE) ? EWX_FORCE : EWX_FORCEIFHUNG;

    return ExitWindowsEx(dwFlags, 0);
}
int main()
{
    ReSetWindows(EWX_LOGOFF, false);//logoff
    //ReSetWindows(EWX_REBOOT, true);//restart
   //ReSetWindows(EWX_SHUTDOWN, true);//shutdown
}

=======================
Caution!!!Please save your important file before running or running in the virtual machine

A: WTSLogoffSession? but the concept of a current user on a remote machine does not really exist, you would have to inspect the sessions with WTSEnumerateSessions+WTSQuerySessionInformation if you want to find a specific user. This only makes sense in a environment where there is a NT domain so you can match against a domain SID. Without a domain, all you can do is match against the username which might be enough for you.

A: This is the program specifies the process ID:
DWORD GetProcessIDByName(LPCTSTR szProcessName)
{
    STARTUPINFO st;
    PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
    PROCESSENTRY32 ps;
    HANDLE hSnapshot;
    DWORD dwPID = 0;
    ZeroMemory(&st, sizeof(STARTUPINFO));
    ZeroMemory(&pi, sizeof(PROCESS_INFORMATION));
    st.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);
    ZeroMemory(&ps, sizeof(PROCESSENTRY32));
    ps.dwSize = sizeof(PROCESSENTRY32);
    hSnapshot = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0);
    if (hSnapshot == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)//
    {
        return dwPID;
    }
    if (!Process32First(hSnapshot, &ps))
    {
        return dwPID;
    }
    do
    {
        if (lstrcmpi(ps.szExeFile, szProcessName) == 0)
        {
            dwPID = ps.th32ProcessID;
        }
    } while (Process32Next(hSnapshot, &ps));
    CloseHandle(hSnapshot);
    return dwPID;//
}

You need this line of code in your main function:
DWORD pId = GetProcessIDByName("\\\.exe");

Closing remote system by local machine is easy. Closing local machine by remote machine sounds like a virus. No offense, it is difficult to implement. Maybe you can try using socket to communicate local machine with virtual machine.

Crush the cardamom pods, pull out the seeds and finely grind in a pestle and mortar.
Mix the flour in a bowl with the cornflour, baking powder, 1 tablespoon of caster sugar, 1 big pinch of sea salt, half the cardamom and half the ground cinnamon.
Add the egg yolks and whisk, pouring in the lager as you go, until you have a smooth, thick batter; cover and set aside to rest.
Peel and core the apples, before cutting them into ½-centimetre thick slices, then set aside in a bowl of water until needed.
Mix the remaining 5 tablespoons of caster sugar with the rest of the cardamom and cinnamon, and 1 pinch of salt.
Heat the oil in a wide, deep, heavy-based pan (no more than half full), to 190ºC/375ºF (use a thermometer, or drop in a piece of bread: it should turn golden in about 35 seconds), or use a deep-fat fryer.
Dunk the apple slices in the batter and fry, in batches, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until crisp and a rich brown colour, turning regularly. Drain on a rack with kitchen paper underneath to catch the drips. Cool briefly, then toss in the spiced sugar.
Snap the chocolate into a saucepan with all the other sauce ingredients and 1 pinch of salt. Melt over a medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until smooth and pourable.
Serve the sauce immediately, alongside the warm fritters for dipping.

Ok, so technically this wasn't a weekend but it made for a better title to describe the 2 night/3days I recently spent exploring this vibrant stretch of NSW coastline on a recent shoot for Port Macquarie and Visit NSW.
For those who follow my work, you'll know that I don't shoot much for commercial/social these days but how could I say no to rugged coastlines, white sand beaches, balmy winter weather, wildlife, rolling green hills and hosting a bunch of talented Aussie photographers? Port Mac really turned it on for us with some welcomed warm weather and some great light, not to mention the locals who came out to say g'day and of course some great coffee and vegan bites, it's safe to say that I'll be back soon.
If you're visiting the area I definitely recommend a day trip out to Bago Vineyard (especially for that maze) and Comboyne, and a paddle on the sparkling water along the Camden Haven River. If you're a photographer, the Diamond Head National Park boasts plenty of potential for sunrise, with great sea stack and rock formations all along the Headland walk. For both sunrise and sunset the Tacking Point lighthouse and surrounding coves and beaches offer a variety of different things to point your lens at.
Below is a brief pictorial account of what we experienced during our quick stop over in this highly liveable part of Australia. Locations include Comboyne, Diamond Head National Park, Hastings River and the Tacking Point lighthouse/headland.
Nice story and Amazing photos.


The Reverse-Flash mystery becomes even more complicated as the CW series explores "what really happened that night" Barry's mother died.
The Flash played some major tricks in Tuesday's episode.
The CW series finally showed the epic fight between Barry (Grant Gustin) and Reverse-Flash the night Barry's his mother died, and it didn't end the way viewers expected.
The big surprise: when Reverse-Flash took off his mask, it was not Tom Cavanagh (Dr. Wells) underneath — it was The Flash newcomer Matt Letscher. The episode revealed that when Eobard Thawne (the true name of Reverse-Flash) traveled back in time and became stranded, he took over Harrison Wells' body. He assumed the scientist's identity so that he could build the particle accelerator sooner — all in an effort to get home.
The big episode also welcomed Mark Hamill, who reprised his role as The Trickster from the 1990 CBS Flash. The Star Wars star caused plenty of trouble for The Flash team when he enlisted his son (Devon Graye) to break him out of prison.
Hamill and executive producer Andrew Kreisberg answered burning questions about the episode at a recent press screening attended by The Hollywood Reporter, and Letscher revealed details of his role in a recent chat with THR.
What really happened to Wells?
Eobard Thawne used futuristic technology that the producers describe as "genetic camouflage" to rewrite his DNA to match Wells' DNA the night he died. "What happened to Harrison Wells' real body and what really happened that night and all of these things are going to start coming out," Kreisberg said.
Kreisberg teased that not all of Wells has been lost, noting that Thawne has often talked about Tess, Wells' fiancé, who died in the car wreck the night he took over Wells' identity. "One of the things that bled through is Wells' love for Tess, that Thawne absorbed when he absorbed his body," said Kreisberg.
Tuesday's Thawne bombshell wasn't always part of the plan, with the writers figuring it out when they were working on explaining why the blood found at the murder scene of Barry's mother wouldn't be a match for Wells — as was revealed in episode 13. "We were talking about, 'well what if Wells wasn't wells? What if he stole Wells' body?" said Kreisberg.
When will Letscher return as Eobard Thawne?
Letscher confirmed he will return later this season, but he isn't sure in what capacity. "They only trust me with the bare minimum, which is appropriate," joked Letscher. He said his role was so top secret that Kreisberg told him not to tell his friends or family.
What's the story behind that Star Wars reference?
Hamill got to deliver an iconic Star Wars line when he revealed he is the father to the younger Trickster.
"In rehearsal I said 'I am your daddy,' which got a big laugh at the table read," Hamill said. "I'm sorry I didn't give them the option in filming, because I think it would have been funny to self-parody the line. But it got a big laugh. If you're happy, I'm happy."
Hamill also revealed that he ad-libbed one of The Tricker's most ridiculous threats in the episode, when he screamed, "I'll cut of his head and throw it in his face."
"I had a professor in college who said, 'and if the papers are late, I will be forced to cut off your head and throw it right in your face,' " said Hamill. "That just stuck with me, the absurdity of it all. It's a violent image, and yet leavened by the humor of it being a physical impossibility."
What 90s Flash Easter eggs did viewers miss?
The episode marked a reunion for Hamill and John Wesley Shipp (Barry's father, Henry) who played The Flash in the original CBS series. There were other nods to the original show; when Henry visited STAR Labs, Shipp was wearing a trenchcoat from the original series, which he took on the last day of production.
"The warehouse on the outside was actually where James Jesse was hold up in the original show," Kreisberg revealed of The Trickster's lair.
In addition, the Mayor of Central City was played by Vito D'Ambrosio, who squared off against Hamill in the original Flash as Officer Tony Bellows. The costume department also painstakingly recreated Hamill's original Trickster outfit to adorn a mannequin in his lair.
But Kreisberg said they didn't just want to make this episode all about the Easter Eggs.
"The challenge of this episode is it had to feel like a legitimate sequel to the old series, but also feel like an episode of our Flash.
What happens to Eddie going forward?
Eddie Thawne (Rick Cosnett) now knows Barry is The Flash, a secret that he must keep from his girlfriend Iris (Candice Patton) because Barry and her father Joe (Jesse L. Martin) say so.
"Eddie is not happy about how Barry and Joe have been handling this, and it starts to impact his relationship with Iris," said Kreisberg. "Eddie sort of says — how do you just lie to people like that? It makes Barry look at himself and go 'when did I become such a great liar?' "
The Flash airs Tuesdays at at 8 p.m. on The CW.
