An interview with Stella Schieffer, founder of Polyport GmbH, a startup aiming to make transportation smarter and more efficient. In autumn 2012, Polyport will launch its first product, BringBee, a pick-up service for IKEA Switzerland.
Who are you and what is your project?
My name is Stella Schieffer. I am 24, a graduate of MIT and ETHZ and a Transportation Planner. My startup is called PolyPort, which aims to make transportation smarter and more efficient.
Which problem does PolyPort solve and how will it sustain itself?
PolyPort solves a number or problems: in recent years, gasoline prices have risen by about 30%; transport accounts for approximately 35% of all CO2 emissions; and increasing transportation creates additional congestion and noise. In spite of those trends, on average 70% of all transport capacities remain unused.
Through PolyPort, we are able to enhance quality of life from a sound, emmissions and sustainability standpoint, and also increase overall transport capacities, by enabling customers with parcels to ship to connect with transporters traveling along their regular or spontaneous routes. Through our collaborative marketplace, we match sending needs with available transport capacities. Once suitable transporters are identified, the sender can securely communicate with the transporter via the platform to finalize the transaction. After a successful delivery, the sender and transporter can stay connected through their transport networks and award each other peer ratings to monitor the reliability and quality of the transports. The transporter earns money for every delivery and thus also has an economic incentive to share his free space.
Our first product, BringBee, will be launched in a few months, and will make shopping traffic to IKEA more sustainable.
Our business model is to take transaction fees for every delivery being made. In return, we take care of the development, quality and security of the marketplace, we handle the payments, and provide a transport insurance for every transaction.
Why did you start PolyPort?
I am a transport geek, I care a lot about the environment and I am fascinated by collaborative consumption. I realized while studying that we could optimize transportation using web and mobile applications in a way we could not do before. By creating a peer-to-peer platform like PolyPort, we can avoid unnecessary travel and tap into existing transport capacities.
How has the HUB contributed to PolyPort's development?
The HUB is a beautiful space that is nice and comfy to work in. It is a representative space that is also great meet people when you cannot really afford your own office. Also, the HUB is a channel to get your word out and present what you are doing via their channels to a greater audience. The HUB community is very good in the very early phase of a project or whenever you are brainstorming, trying to get feedback and trying to define your product and features.
The biggest challenge for me has been finding the right team members to help get PolyPort off the ground and running.
How can others help you take PolyPort to the next level?
People can support PolyPort by using the program once it is live and giving honest feedback. If you like it, please spread the word!
What's your biggest learning you want to share with the world?
In the end, it's all up to you and what you make out of it. So, don't sit around waiting for help or advice, just get going, be passionate, and let no one stop you.

The Q-switched Nd: YAG laser is used for tattoo removal. Tattoos are created by injecting colored pigment into small deep holes made in the skin and the marks or designs are relatively permanent. When people subsequently want their tattoos removed, most physicians today consider laser surgery one of the best methods. The Q-switched Nd:YAG is the most frequently used laser for safe and effective tattoo removal, leaving the skin natural-looking. During treatment, pulses of light from the laser are directed onto the tattoo, breaking up the tattoo pigment. Over the next several weeks the body's macrophages remove the treated pigmented areas.

Happy New Year. I'm staying home.
*There are things we all miss about our youth. I'm sure each of us can come up with a list. Mine might begin with my hair.
Yet, there are many benefits to getting older. Buying your own beer is a perfectly good example.
However, as we are on the cusp of another New Year, one particular benefit comes to my mind.
New Year's Eve doesn't matter. It's just another night where we hope the children don't bug us to stay up late and fall asleep quickly.
It wasn't so long ago when New Year's Eve was it! Remember when you had to have New Year's Eve plans.
I don't understand Christmas. Sure, I get that it's meant to commemorate the birth of Jesus, and it's celebratory. But I just don't understand some of the customs.
Here are this Jew's top 12 questions about Christmas.
What's the deal with egg nog?Is there some sort of symbolism involved with egg nog? Now remember, this is coming from a guy whose religion finds symbolism in jelly donuts. Also, what's in egg nog? If it's anything like an egg cream, there is no egg in it (one of those strange facts I learned while living in Brooklyn). And if there is egg in egg nog – well, I flash back to Rocky Balboa in the original movie when he drank a few eggs before going out for a run.
When do you eat? Every Jewish holiday revolves around food. I'm trying to figure out the timeline here. If you go to Church at midnight and open presents in the morning – well, what's next? Do you have brunch together? Is Christmas Dinner on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
Why all the colorful lights?First off, you should know that Jews love the lights. Last year my family drove around on Christmas Eve looking at the lights in the neighborhood – our friends from synagogue knew where all the best houses were. If I was in charge of Christmas, I would insist that everyone who celebrates the holiday must put up lights. But when do you put them up? Do you turn them off at night? Does part of your holiday budget go towards the increased electric bill?
Does the Elf on the Shelf work?Just recently someone told me that the Elf on the Shelf is meant to be Santa's helper. It watches the kids to make sure they behave and therefore deserve presents. Sure the whole thing about it watching is a bit creepy and big brotherish, but does it keep the kids in line? If the Elf works, I'll slap a yarmulke on him and put him in my house.
It was the summer of 2007, and my family and I were discovering the suburbs.
What do we do with all this space? So, we don't have to worry about the upstairs neighbors making noise? You mean we have our own parking space?
We're not in an apartment in the Bronx any more Dorothy!
One Sunday morning during this confusing time, I was driving to morning prayers. I was listening to classical music. Yes, it was a peaceful morning.
Then, a flash of light and a policeman waving me to pull over. Apparently, neighbors had been complaining that drivers were ignoring the 25 MPH speed zone. The police were notified, and the speed trap was set. The policeman told me all of this while he wrote up the ticket. Apparently, I had motored up to 35, and the policeman had no choice but to give me a ticket. He was polite and empathetic during the entire exchange. Who hoo.
I drove away pissed off.
Eight plus years have passed since that speeding ticket was issued. And things have been quiet between me and blue here in the suburbs. Now, I've done my share of speeding, going through yellowish lights, and that sort of thing. Nothing all that serious apparently for a policeman to feel a ticket was warranted or they simply weren't around.
This week Jewish people are around the world are celebrating the holiday of Chanukah. Like any holiday, there are traditions associated with the holiday. Some of those traditions might be confusing to those who don't celebrate the holiday.
Consider this your Chanukah primer.
How do you even spell it? Chanukah is the perfect holiday for those who don't care for spelling. That's because there is no one correct way to spell Chanukah. It's not an English word, and the abc's do not create the initial sound in the word. By the way, the initial sound in the word is a chuh sound – like you are gathering saliva to spit. Anyway, Channukah, Chanukah, Hannukah, Hanukah – none is more right. My computer seems to prefer Hanukah – no red line under that one.

La stazione di Verdura è stata una stazione ferroviaria posta lungo la ex linea ferroviaria a scartamento ridotto Castelvetrano-Porto Empedocle chiusa nel 1986.

Storia
La stazione venne inaugurata nel  Il 2 luglio 1923 insieme al tratto Ribera–Sciacca.

La stazione nel progetto originario avrebbe dovuto avere il nome di Bivio Sciacca, ed essere di diramazione per la progettata linea ferroviaria per Burgio, che collegandosi alla linea Castelvetrano-San Carlo-Burgio avrebbe costituito una linea circolare, che  da Castelvetrano andando verso San Carlo, Burgio, Sant'Anna di Caltabellotta, Villafranca e Bivio Sciacca sarebbe tornata a Castelvetrano via Sciacca e Menfi, e si collegasse a sua volta nella stazione di San Carlo alle località servite dalla linea per Palermo Sant'Erasmo, che con il medesimo scartamento avrebbe consentito l'interscambio dei carri merci, ma tale progetto venne accantonato quando fu evidente l'inadeguatezza delle ferrovie a scartamento ridotto.

Nel 1986 la stazione cessò il suo funzionamento insieme alla tratta Sciacca-Ribera.

Nel 2009 il fabbricato viaggiatori è stato restaurato ed adibito per altri usi.

Strutture e impianti
Era composta da un fabbricato viaggiatori un magazzino merci e da due binari.

Q: GCP Container Scanning not triggered by pushing to Artifact Repository Even though the Container Scanning API is enabled and Vulnerability scanning is enabled for the Artifact Registry, newly pushed images are not being scanned.

On-demand scan results also don't show up in the Artifact Repository UI.

Is there something else I need to enable?

A: I believe your containers are being pushed to Google Container Registry (GCR), as evident by "Container Registry host" being eu.gcr.io in your first screenshot. The results should be available in the GCR page and won't show up in  the Artifact Registry page.

REPAIRS - After the nuisance animal is removed from the property, we can provide you with all necessary repairs so you don't have to deal with several different contractors to get the job complete. We are capable of performing all types of roof repairs, siding replacement, gutter and fascia repairs as well as foundation and crawl space repairs.
PREVENTION - One of the most important aspects of animal control is prevention and exclusion. By using items such as chimney caps and attic vent screens, we can keep unwanted animals out of your attic, crawl spaces and chimneys. By performing some simple tree trimming and harborage removal, you can eliminate easy access points to your home. Trees should be trimmed at least 3 to 5 feet from your roof to prevent squirrels and raccoons. Also, remove all wood piles and debris piles from the perimeter of the structure to prevent rodents. If possible try to eliminate ground cover such as ivy or mertyl from the immediate perimeter.
ATTIC CLEAN-UP - In many cases attic insulation can become contaminated with animal urine and feces. In this unpleasant circumstance, you will need to have the old insulation removed and new insulation installed. We can provide you with a complete attic clean-up including disinfections and odor control. Since this work is labor intensive and due to extreme heat in the attic, this work is best done during the cooler months.

Decided May 29, 1990.
[215 Conn. 174] Susan M. Hankins, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant (defendant).
James A. Killen, Asst. State's Atty., with whom, on the brief, was Michael Dearington, State's Atty., for appellee (state).
Before [215 Conn. 173] PETERS, C.J., and CALLAHAN, GLASS, COVELLO and HULL, JJ.
[215 Conn. 174] GLASS, Associate Justice.
The defendant, Leslie Jones, was found guilty by a jury of kidnapping in the first
degree, in violation of General Statutes § 53a-92(a)(2)(A). 1 On August 26, 1988, the court sentenced him to a term of twenty-five years imprisonment. The defendant now claims on appeal: (1) that § 53a-92(a)(2)(A), prohibiting kidnapping in the first degree is, under the circumstances of this case, unconstitutionally vague, and thus violates his right to due process; (2) that the evidence submitted in this case was insufficient to sustain a conviction[215 Conn. 175] for the crime of kidnapping in the first degree; (3) that the state's use of the defendant's post-Miranda refusal to sign his transcribed statement violated his constitutional rights; and (4) that the trial court erred in admitting a portion of his statement that was irrelevant and unduly prejudicial. We find no error.
The jury could reasonably have found the following facts. At approximately 10 a.m. on July 19, 1987, the victim was jogging through Edgewood Park in New Haven. In particular, she was running down the center of a two car-widths wide paved road that runs through the park. While she was running on a portion of the road that passed through a heavily wooded area, she noticed the defendant walking toward her on the road. As they approached each other, the victim adjusted her position to pass the defendant on the left, attempting to leave "plenty of space" between the two of them as she passed.
As the defendant and the victim were about to pass each other, however, the defendant suddenly blocked the victim's path. He grabbed her by the shoulders and said: "Come here, I want to show you something." The victim started screaming, hoping that someone in the park would hear her, but no one was in the immediate area. The defendant then began dragging the victim off to the right side of the road. Once they were off the road, the defendant threw the victim down to the ground in a grassy area. The defendant pinned her down with one hand, and attempted to stuff a white cloth into her mouth with the other hand. His hand was locked around her jaw in such a manner that she "thought he was trying to rip [her] jaw off," and she "felt as if [she] was being smothered because [the cloth] was being pressed right on [her] nose and mouth." The victim began twisting her head back and forth "trying to struggle out of his grasp," and, at some point, the defendant raised his hand as if he were about to [215 Conn. 176] strike her. As the defendant was leaning over her body, however, the victim, who was on her back, coiled her legs up to her chest and kicked him in his stomach. As a result, the defendant lost hold of her. The victim was able to roll out from under the defendant and she began to run away. After running approximately thirty feet, the victim turned and saw that the defendant was not giving chase. She ran out to Edgewood Avenue, where she reported the incident to Sergeant Edward Saccavino of the New Haven police department, who happened to be parked nearby.
Saccavino immediately broadcast the victim's description of her assailant over the radio. Detective Ralph Dinello, who was patrolling the Edgewood Avenue area, heard the broadcast, and a few minutes later spotted the defendant, who matched the description, walking in the vicinity of the park. Dinello approached the defendant and asked him where he lived and from where he was coming. The defendant replied that he lived at 249 Whalley Avenue, and was coming from a friend's house. Dinello was then informed by another officer, who had arrived on the scene, that there was no residence at 249 Whalley Avenue. The defendant then asked why he was being stopped, and Dinello told him that there was an incident in Edgewood Park and that he fit the description of the assailant. The defendant stated that he "was not at Edgewood Park or anywhere near Edgewood Avenue Park" and that he was coming from Whalley Avenue. By this time, Saccavino had arrived with the
victim, who stated that she was at least 60 percent sure that the defendant was her assailant.
The defendant was then placed under arrest, given his Miranda 2 warnings and taken to the New Haven [215 Conn. 177] police station. At the station, the defendant was again given his Miranda warnings prior to being interrogated by Dinello. In response to Dinello's questions, the defendant again stated that he knew absolutely nothing about the incident and that he was not in the park. When Dinello stopped interviewing the defendant in order to speak with the victim, Sergeant Melvin Wearing asked Dinello if he could speak with the defendant for a few minutes. After speaking with Wearing, the defendant agreed to give a statement to Dinello concerning the incident. In his statement, which was tape-recorded, the defendant admitted that he had encountered the victim in Edgewood Park. He claimed, however, that he had merely "staggered" into the victim and that he was attempting to say "excuse me" when she began screaming. He denied having grabbed the victim at all, and claimed that he first denied being anywhere near Edgewood Park because he "was afraid of what that lady may [have] thought."
As a result of the attack, the victim immediately noticed a number of scrapes and bruises. The morning after, she felt pain in her jaw, neck and back. In addition, she discovered bruises on her face, shoulders and chest. The victim then went to be examined by a physician's assistant, Kelly Ann Martens, who testified 3 at trial regarding numerous injuries that the victim had sustained, including an abrasion on her elbow, muscle tenderness in many parts of her body, and an abnormal "click" in her jaw. Martens then referred the victim to a physician concerning her particular injuries, and provided the victim with a cervical collar to wear after leaving the examination.
The defendant first claims that General Statutes § 53a-92(a)(2)(A) is, under the circumstances of this [215 Conn. 178] case, unconstitutionally vague. We disagree. In particular, § 53a-92(a)(2)(A) provides: "A person is guilty of kidnapping in the first degree when he abducts another person and when ... he restrains the person abducted with intent to ... inflict physical injury upon him...." General Statutes § 53a-91(1) 4 defines "restrain" in part as follows: " 'Restrain' means to restrict a person's movements intentionally and unlawfully in such a manner as to interfere substantially with his liberty by moving him from one place to another, or by confining him either in the place where the restriction commences or in a place to which he has been moved...."
In charging the jury, the trial court limited its definition of "restrain" to moving "from one place to another." The defendant now claims that, in using the phrase "from one place to another," the legislature "has provided an impermissibly vague standard which allows an offense involving any movement at all to be prosecuted as a kidnapping and elevated to the level of [a class] A felony." The defendant asserts further that the lack of precision in this phrase allows a "gross distortion of lesser crimes" into much more serious crimes "by excess of prosecutorial zeal," thus permitting the "absurd and unconscionable" result reached in this case.
[215 Conn. 179] First, before reaching the merits of the defendant's claim, we must consider the threshold question of reviewability. The state maintains that the defendant's vagueness claim is not reviewable because it was not distinctly raised at trial. We conclude that, despite this procedural default, the defendant's claim of unconstitutional vagueness falls within the parameters of State v. Golding, 213 Conn. 233, 239-40, 567 A.2d 823 (1989), and State v. Evans, 165 Conn. 61, 69, 327 A.2d 576 (1973), and therefore warrants appellate scrutiny. See State v. Schriver, 207 Conn. 456, 459, 542 A.2d 686 (1988).
Turning to the merits of the defendant's vagueness challenge: "The constitutional injunction that is commonly referred to as the void for vagueness doctrine embodies two central precepts: the right to fair warning of the effect of a governing statute or regulation and the guarantee against standardless law enforcement. Smith v. Goguen, 415 U.S. 566, 572-73, 94 S.Ct. 1242, 1246-47, 39 L.Ed.2d 605 (1974); Mitchell v. King, 169 Conn. 140, 142-43, 363 A.2d 68 (1975)." State v. Schriver, supra, at 459-60, 542 A.2d 686. "In order to surmount a vagueness challenge, 'a statute [must] afford a person of ordinary intelligence a reasonable opportunity to know what is permitted or prohibited.' McKinney v. Coventry, 176 Conn. 613, 618, 410 A.2d 453 (1979). The constitutional requirement of definiteness applies more strictly to penal laws than to statutes that exact civil penalties. Winters v. New York, 333 U.S. 507, 515, 68 S.Ct. 665, 670, 92 L.Ed. 840 (1948)." State v. Schriver, supra, 207 Conn. at 460, 542 A.2d 686.
Furthermore, it is well established that, as a general rule, "the constitutionality of a statutory provision being attacked as void for vagueness is determined by the statute's applicability to the particular facts at issue. United States v. Powell, 423 U.S. 87, 92, 96 S.Ct. 316, 320, 46 L.Ed.2d 228 [1975]; United States v. Mazurie, 419 [215 Conn. 180] U.S. 544, 550, 95 S.Ct. 710, 714, 42 L.Ed.2d 706 [1975]; United States v. National Dairy Products Corporation, 372 U.S. 29, 32-33, 83 S.Ct. 594, 597-98, 9...

MSNBC.com Renamed to NBCNews.com as Microsoft and NBC Divorce
The site became NBCNews.com, signifying the end of a relationship between NBC and Microsoft that dates back to the earliest days of the commercial Web. Early next year, MSNBC.com will be reborn as a stand-alone site for the cable channel MSNBC, ending the brand confusion that has plagued the site in the past.
With the changes, "we will fully own our digital businesses," said Steve Capus, the president of NBC News. That's because the company that controls NBC, Comcast, is acquiring Microsoft's 50 percent stake in the joint venture that brought MSNBC.com to life in the mid-1990s — in effect, a big investment by Comcast in the news division's future.
Microsoft is receiving roughly $300 million for the stake, according to people with knowledge of the transaction who insisted on anonymity because the total price was not being made public. A portion of the total price comes from the joint venture's past profits.
All said and done, Microsoft now needs a strong News offering, something which rivals NBCNews and other news networks. Do we seen another acquisition?

National Alliance for Public Charter Schools State-by-State Ranking of Public Charter School Laws
On March 22, the National Alliance released its annual state-by-state ranking of public charter school laws, entitled Measuring Up to the Model: A Ranking of State Charter Public School Laws, Eighth Edition in which North Carolina is ranked #14. The National Alliance's model law and rankings report serves as an important benchmark. North Carolina was ranked #14 last year, so we have neither moved forward nor backward. There is work to be done in North Carolina to align autonomy and accountability. The North Carolina Association for Public Charter Schools is working hard with charter leaders to help draft our legislative agenda for the next session of the General Assembly in order to continue to propel the charter school movement forward in our state.

Patrick Stewart raves about Portland while discussing his new film 'Match'
Updated Feb 6, 2015 ; Posted Feb 6, 2015
Gallery: Match
By Marc Mohan | Special to The Oregonian
Sir Patrick Stewart can usually be found on the bridge of a starship, sitting in the world's most iconic wheelchair, or treading the boards on some London stage. You don't expect to find the face of the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "X-Men" franchises in a low-budget, three-character drama as a ballet teacher with secrets in his past. That's exactly where he is, though, in "Match," writer-director Stephen Belber's film (based on his own play). Stewart plays Tobi Powell, a Julliard instructor who agrees to be interviewed by a doctoral student (Carla Gugino) and her husband (Matthew Lillard). They turn out to have a hidden agenda, though, and the conversational conflict is off.
You also don't expect to find Stewart in Portland for the filming of another independent film, or on TV in a half-hour comedy from the creator of "The Family Guy." Yet those things are true as well, as he discussed during a very enjoyable phone conversation. The following Q&A has been edited for clarity and length.
To say that this movie "Match" is a change of pace would be an understatement, compared to the roles you've been known for in recent years. Was it refreshing to be able to exercise different acting muscles than those big-budget, larger-than-life roles require?
Well, putting it into a wider career context, my life has been -- not necessarily by design -- full of diversity. I started working in regional theater for several years, then I shifted to classical theater. I worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company for 12 or 14 continuous years, doing a little bit of television and a little bit of filming.
My passion was to be on a stage. And I did everything, from new plays by Harold Pinter and Tom Stoppard, to the classics, and I've always enjoyed it. I played a whole variety of roles. I never was typecast or stuck. That was only after "Star Trek," which I got immediately following a savage production of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" that I had done in a small studio theater in London. So the big studio work, the epic science fiction productions, that then was new to me. I'd never done anything like that. Actually that's not quite true. I did a film for Tobe Hooper called "Lifeforce." And before that I had done a fantasy film for John Boorman about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
I think "Excalibur" is where a lot of people first remember noticing you on screen.
Yeah, a wonderful film, a great director. Then it became 15 years of "Star Trek" and then abutted onto the end of that was the whole world of "X-Men," which I've enjoyed enormously. I was never a fan of fantasy or science fiction, but I loved entering that world because I knew nothing about it. The style is different, the presentation is different, and there is a real excitement about being involved in a multi-million-dollar movie that can go all the way in order to make its effects and its story possible.
So coming back to a film like "Match" is not exactly new territory for me. I've been there before, I've done a lot of small independent movies. Most of them haven't really had much of a life, but I'm very happy today that "Match" looks as though it will have.
And then you have "The Green Room," which was shot near Portland. There was a photo of you in a Timbers Army scarf that made the rounds online.
Yes. That's right. We were based in Portland, but we did most of our film some distance away, which was really nice, because it was a beautiful, beautiful landscape. That's also an independent film, a very brutal, very savage film, a thriller.
Later on, the end of the year, towards Christmas, there's another small independent movie, called "Stuck," about several buildings in the middle of Manhattan that have a power failure, and all the elevators get stuck on Christmas Eve. It's the story of all these different elevators, what's going on in them while people are trying to get home for Christmas. The elevator I'm stuck in is one of those construction site elevators, like a cage on the outside of the building, and I'm alone in that, I don't have anybody to talk with.
So it's been an interesting year, but in two weeks' time I start filming a new television series for Seth McFarland -- now this is entirely new territory.
I want to ask you about that, but I would be remiss if I didn't find out what some of your memories of being in Portland were.
Well, first of all, it's a very handsome town. I've always enjoyed architecture, and there is so much fine 19th-Century architecture, early-20th-Century, which I hope Portland will preserve. I'm sure it will. You can walk from one end to the other, in the city, and you don't have to be riding in cars all the time.
Portlanders are the nicest people I have ever met in the United States, and I have traveled a lot: courteous, polite, respectful. The only bad encounter I had during those five weeks was with an English tourist. Other than that, people were absolutely lovely. Living in New York, pedestrians are the enemy of the car and the taxi and the truck and the bus, so I never got used to standing at a street corner and having all the traffic screech to a halt, simply so I could walk.
Maybe they just recognized you!
No, no, no. I saw it happening all the time. Just in case this gentleman wants to cross the road, we will all stop and wait for him. I also thought it was charming that every second car was a Prius, because I have been a Prius owner in my time too, and I recognize the urge to be considerate to the environment and to drive a slightly green car. And the people we worked with, our crew, were local, and could not have been nicer. As I say, it's a very, very brutal, savage film, so to be surrounded by people who were so pleasant helped us live with some of that savagery, better than we otherwise could.
That makes sense. So why don't you tell me a little bit about "Blunt Talk," the project you're working on with Jonathan Ames and Seth McFarland. I know you've worked with Seth before, doing voices for "Family Guy," but what's the pitch here?
This is a story about a man called Walter Blunt. He has a media show five nights a week that he records in Los Angeles. He does interviews, he's an investigative reporter, he's quite political, he's quite radical in his points of view. He's been very successful, until about the time when our series begins, when the show isn't doing quite so well anymore, and his private life begins to fall apart. And the simple fact that Seth McFarland and Jonathan Ames are associated with this show will give you some idea of the nature of the chaos that he finds himself involved in.
I've never been involved in half-hour television comedy, except as a guest. This time, standing at the center of a 20-episode comedy show, is a brand new experience. I've never dipped my toe so significantly into this world, and I've very excited about it. We have some of our earlier scripts and they are just terrific.
I want to circle back to "Match" quickly. The movie is about, among other things, the sacrifices that people make in order to pursue their passion. I wonder if there was anything in that character that you connected with on that level?
I identified very strongly with that aspect of the movie. As a young actor, I ate, slept, lived, breathed stage acting, at the cost of lots of friendships and relationships. I would see my family for one day a week. It was hard at the time, but for me there was never any question that I would change the work I was doing in order to spend more time with my children.
I think we all suffered somewhat from that, and my children are grown up now, and I have grandchildren with whom I spend as much time as possible. But you see, you can't call them sacrifices, because they're deliberate choices: I want my life to be like this, and that other side of it will have to go. Tobi has done exactly the same thing. And the fact is, you can't create a career without making those choices. It is only those who can dedicate themselves to what they're doing, in my business, anyway, who stand a chance of getting somewhere. It's tough. So I think a lot of people will probably recognize that aspect of "Match."
Tobi is based on a real person that writer-director Stephen Belber met and was inspired by. Did you have a chance to meet that person?
I met with him numerous times. We had lunches and dinners. He invited me to his apartment. But most significantly, he let me sit in on his classes. He is a fulltime teacher at Julliard, and watching his love and dedication to his students, that gave me all the foundation that I need to create Tobi Powell. I got to know something about his rather contained, rather quiet, somewhat eccentric personal life, which as you see from the movie, Tobi has also.
Last but not least: It sounds like you won't be returning as Charles Xavier in the next "X-Men: Apocalypse". Is that something you can confirm?
Yes, I understand that it seems to be very unlikely that I will be in the next "X-Men" movie, which is almost getting ready to start shooting in Montreal.
Well, if you're going to be in it, you better get to Montreal quickly, it sounds like.
[LAUGHS] But Magneto, Ian McKellen, is certainly going to be in it. And what I'm very excited about is that we have been talking about a Wolverine movie, which would team Hugh Jackman and myself together. Wolverine and Professor Xavier. That would be a very different sort of "X-Men" from the four movies that I've already done.
I'm picturing a mismatched-buddies-road-movie sort of thing.
I'd just like to get to drive his motorbike, I think.
"Match" opens Friday, Feb. 6 at the Living Room Theaters.

Is Beforeyouspeak Coffee Good for You?
If you do it right…yes!
Here's how we like our bulletproof coffee at GMB – and a look at the nutritional benefits of the ingredients used in this brew.
We'll have our bulletproof sans the butter, please. The original buttery bulletproof coffee was consumed in minus 10-degree weather – providing high calorie, slow-burning fuel for climbing Mount Kailash in Tibet.
If like us, your exercise routine is more along the lines of a barre class and a beach walk, a good knob of butter stirred through your coffee is probably unnecessary. That's why we like High Performance Coffee by Beforeyouspeak; this is bulletproof coffee, but without the butter – so we can get an energy hit that doesn't double as a meal replacement.
With Beforeyouspeak's High Performance Coffee, you can easily make your own bulletproof coffee at home or in the office…so there's no need to spend 5 + bucks on a bulletproof brew from a fancy café.
'The King of herbs', this has been added to provide longer lasting energy, opposed to a short-term caffeine buzz. Siberian ginseng also has a long-term history of use as an adaptogenic herb (i.e., one which may help to stabilise physiological processes in the body), traditionally used to help regulate the stress hormone, cortisol.
'Curcumin', the active compound in turmeric has anti-inflammatory potential. This super herb also serves as a digestive aid, warming and soothing the gut…so if regular coffee upsets your stomach, it might be worth giving this blend a try.
Beforeyouspeak's bulletproof coffee contains BioPerine®, clinically proven to significantly increase nutrients, so that you can get more out of the foods you put into your body.
Insatiable appetite? Studies like this one[^1] have found that green coffee bean can be beneficial for stabilising blood sugar – which in turn can aid appetite control, and in turn, less excess belly fat!
MCTs – or Medium Chain Triglycerides – are one of the key ingredients in bulletproof coffee. Put simply, MCTs are a form of saturated fats, and while most fats are slow to absorb, MCTs are absorbed fast; research suggests that MCTs might increase energy expenditure[^2] and in turn, improve general performance, helping individuals to achieve their weight loss goals – although more evidence is needed.
For a morning wake-me-up or pre-workout, simply add 1 sachet of Beforeyouspeak's High Performance Coffee to 1 cup of just-boiled water. Stir and drink black, or with a dash of your favourite milk. The blend contains plant-based stevia, so there's no need to add sugar…easy!
Is Sea Salt Bad For You?


Prefinishing in a controlled environment provides a higher quality finish with significant performance advantages.
Western Red Cedar is an excellent base for paints and stains, and a properly applied factory finish can last just as long on cedar as it does on artificial siding products. Real time testing of western red cedar, prefinished with a solid color, was rated "good as new" after 20 years of exposure to typical conditions.
The key to achieving a durable, long lasting finish is to apply the finish in a controlled environment, before the shingles have been exposed to sunlight and environmental contaminants. Exposure to direct sun, rain, and high or low temperatures, during finishing or curing, can also degrade the quality of the finish.
For the best performance, shingles must also be kiln dried to a specific moisture content before the finish is applied.
Factory prefinishing coats all of the shingle surfaces, front, back, and edges, to prevent the shingle from absorbing moisture. "Back priming" significantly increases the life of the finish, and also provides greater dimensional stability, which helps prevent cupping and curling. Prefinishing uses much more finish than painting in the field, but, typically, still costs less.
Another advantage of prefinished shingles is that they can be installed in any season or weather conditions.
Ecoshel Shingle-Strips are ideal for prefinishing because they require very little cutting and handling, so touch-up and cleaning after installation is minimal.
Nothing has more curb appeal than homes sided with high quality Western Red Cedar shingles finished with a semi-transparent stain that highlights the natural beauty of the wood.
Sanded WRC has a wide range of wood tones from blonde to dark brown that interact nicely with various semi-transparent tints.
We recommend semi-transparent stains with the Premium #1 grade which has subdued clear vertical grain, and beautiful tonal transitions.
The Standard #2 grade includes some flat grain shingles, which have a stronger grain pattern that works well with solid colors and darker semi-transparent stains.
All Ecoshel shingles will last a lifetime, with or without paint or stain. The only maintenance concern is how long the finish will last, and how the finish affects the color of the wood.
While solid color stains will look good as new after 20+ years, the challenge for a semi-transparent stain is to provide enough protection from UV rays to prevent "graying" of the wood beneath the finish. Ecoshel's PPG finishes use high quality trans-oxide ground pigments and UV blockers to provide the best protection from graying.
Generally, darker stains like Walnut, will block UV much better than lighter stains like Sierra or Cedar Naturaltone. Clear finishes and "Toners" are not recommended because the wood will begin turning gray within a year or two.
You should plan on refinishing lighter stains in about 7 years. Darker stains can last twice as long. They will begin to fade, but, depending on the style of house, that can be a nice quality. Like a pair of old jeans, semi-transparent stains are a work in progress that will develop character over time.
Semi-transparent stains are easily renewed by adding another coat, or washing with special solutions that will restore the new wood coloring. Because Ecoshel uses stains rather than paints, there is no film to crack or peel when the finish fails, so re-finishing is relatively easy. See the maintenance section for information on restoring semi-transparent finishes.
Solid color stains can always be applied over semi-transparent stains, so if you really want a very low maintenance finish, you might still consider starting with a semi-transparent to enjoy the beauty of the wood, and then top coat with a solid color when it's time to refinish.
Semi-transparent stains are divided in to 3 different color groups. Follow the links below to explore all of the options.
Additional custom Naturaltones are available.
Always check actual color samples before placing your order.
Ecoshel color samples are provided on individual shingles in #1, #2, or Rustic grades.
A new color selector for Semi-Transparent Color Tints will be available soon.
Real time field tests have shown that kiln dried cedar prefinished with a solid colors paint or stain will be "good as new" after 20 years. If you want a finish that is nearly maintenance free, then a solid color stain is your best option.
Your order can be prefinished with virtually any solid color. Choose one of the Ecoshel /PPG colors below, or provide a color spec or sample to match.
We recommend the #2 grade with solid color finishes because the stronger flat grain patterns show through as beautiful, subtle, changes in sheen.
Ecoshel uses premium quality 100% acrylic PPG stains that provide excellent performance, and are very resistant to fading and mildew.
Tannin bleeeding can occur with high quality western red cedar. Tannins are tea colored compounds in the wood that can migrate to the surface causing discoloration. Tannins are water soluable and are easily washed off, but tannin bleeding can be avoided completely by choosing a 2 coat process that uses a special tannin blocking primer.
Bleaching finishes can be used to accelerate the weathering process, providing a natural gray weathered appearance without a stain. Bleaching finishes include a temporary gray stain that is designed to weather off as the bleach in the finish works to change the color of the wood from the new wood color to gray.
Bleaching finishes can be used with both western red cedar and eastern white cedar. Although white cedar will more readily transition to gray than red cedar, the bleach finish will accelerate the process, and help eliminate the uneven black staining that usually occurs.
Bleached shingles have the advantage of no finish to maintain, and unfinished Ecoshel #1 western red cedar shingles will last at least 50 years in sidewall applications. Eastern white cedar shingles are not as dimensionally stable and will probably last longer if prefinished on all sides.
The disadvantage of bleaching finishes is that you have less control over the color, the shade of gray, than if you use a stain.
Traditional bleaching oils have been recently phased out in favor of new low VOC versions that claim to work just as well, and faster. We are currently testing the new bleaching finishes and will update this section with photos soon.
Because they are sanded and kiln dried, unfinished Ecoshel western red cedar shingles and shakes always weather readily to a beautiful gray in roofing applications. As unfinished siding, much depends on the environment. Closer to the seashore, they may tend more toward gray. Further inland, they will eventually develop a rich dark brown color. Unfinished western red cedar sidewalls will typically be quite uneven in tone, as the exposure to sunlight and rain will also be uneven.
Coming soon - detailed instructions for cleaning, maintaining and restoring semi-transparent, and solid color finishes, as well as unfinished shingles.

Nysa-asteroiderna, eller Nysa-familjen, även känd som Hertha-asteroiderna, eller Hertha-familjen, uppkallad efter 135 Hertha. Den är en del av Nysa-Polana-komplexet, det största klustret av asteroidfamiljer, och är en stor grupp asteroider som befinner sig i de inre delarna av asteroidbältet. Den är en av de största asteroidfamiljerna. Familjen har fått namn efter den tyngsta medlemmen, 44 Nysa.

Beskrivning
Gemensamt för asteroider i gruppen är att de har en omloppsbana runt solen med en halv storaxel på mellan 2,41 och 2,5 AE, en excentricitet mellan 0,21 och 0,21 AE och en banlutning mellan 1,4° och 4,3°.

Asteroider i detta komplex är vanligtvis indelade i steniga Nysa och kolhaltiga Polana-undergrupper, två mineralogiskt olika familjer:
Den mycket ljusare undergruppen av S-typ Nysa-asteroider (dvs. Familjen Nysa, i smalare mening) innehåller bland andra 44 Nysa och 135 Hertha.

I undergruppen av asteroider med låg albedo i komplexet ligger familjen Polana, en familj av mörka asteroider av F-typ uppkallade efter 142 Polana, den största asteroiden i detta avsnitt. På senare tid har ytterligare en familj, familjen Eulalia, också identifierats i denna undergrupp.

When is Jesus Christ Returning?
When will Jesus Christ return? Well, there is no need to provide a long, extensive response to this question. We will keep it short and truthful. We'll let the Bible answer this for us!
Matthew 24:36-44 "36 "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. 42 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."
Trust in the Lord, remain watchful and in prayer. God bless you!

How to say "Fall asleep in 60 seconds" with 22 characters?
I'm a German app developer of the app "Pulse Breathing" that has recently had some success on the App Store and whose catch-phrase in the marketing strategy is: "Fall asleep in 60 seconds". Now, the App Store has introduced some changes that make it harder to expose this marketing argument to the customers who visit my app page: until not too long ago, apps had a title ("Pulse Breathing") and a subtitle ("Fall asleep in 60 seconds!") that we're displayed on the top of the page. Now, Apple has replaced the subtitle with the developer's name, which makes it harder to market the app with this catchphrase. So, I thought, why not put the subtitle into the title of the app as well? Turns out, the app title has a limit of 30 characters, which makes "Pulse - Fall asleep in 60 seconds" two or three characters too long. So I thought of alternatives. My first ideas (which I don't really like) were:
"Pulse - Fall asleep in 60 secs!"
"Pulse - Slumber in 60 seconds!"
The first one, I think, is too informal and takes away the credibility of a health app. Concerning the second one, I do like the idea of slumber, since it's practically impossible to fall asleep in 60 seconds, it's just a catch-phrase; then again, I don't know even know if it's grammatically correct (would an English native say it like that?) and if it's not this little bit too complex to really stand out. Fall asleep in 60 seconds, is simple, trivial and really stands out.
Do you have any ideas what else I could use? And how do you like my ideas?

"Fall asleep in 60 seconds" does the job perfectly but you also need the name of the app in there as well. Tricky.... You should change the number to 17 characters in the title b/c Pulse has 5 characters – Mari-Lou A Feb 4 '19 at 10:10
I make "Pulse - Fall asleep in 60 secs!" 31 characters (including spaces and punctuation). You need 3 more to get "ond" in there, I guess. Drop ! and spaces either side of the hyphen (and can you use a long hyphen or even a colon)? – Pam Feb 4 '19 at 10:13
"Drop off is 3 characters shorter than "fall asleep", but more informal and unlikely to be understood by many non-native speakers of English. dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/drop-off – Shoe Feb 4 '19 at 10:14
There is "doze" for fall asleep. – GEdgar Feb 4 '19 at 13:57
@Shoe I like that! 90% of the Downloads are from English speaking countries, so that would be okay; for the other main countries, I'm using localized titles and subtitles! – Whazzup Feb 4 '19 at 15:36
Pulse – Asleep in an instant
Excluding spaces, and the em-dash, the phrase uses exactly 22 characters.
instant (adj)
Happening or coming immediately.
+1. Great idea! – Shoe Feb 4 '19 at 10:29
@AndyT do you think the majority of non-native speakers would understand the idiom? See Shoe's comment beneath the OP – Mari-Lou A Feb 4 '19 at 15:13
Maybe not. Deleted my comment as it really wasn't constructive as a comment. – AndyT Feb 4 '19 at 15:16
That's great, thank you! I think I'm going to use this one! @Mari-LouA You're right that most of the non-native speakers would probably not understand it, but the App Store titles and subtitles can be localized. I guess I'm going to go with this one for the English-speaking countries and stay with the old titles for the other countries; for most of them, I have localized titles and descriptions anyways! – Whazzup Feb 4 '19 at 15:40
Which one are you referring to? The "drop off" idiom? Andy was talking about that. On the other hand, "Asleep in an instant" is very easy to understand – Mari-Lou A Feb 4 '19 at 15:41
You ask if a native speaker would say something "fall asleep in 60 seconds". That's grammatical, but it's a precise length of time which doesn't really have the meaning "really quickly" as "instant" does. If you are looking for a catchy slogan that does suggest that idea, you can say:
Pulse–fall asleep in a heartbeat
But it doesn't fit into the space allotted unless you change "heart" to ♥.

And features a "Boss Team" along with fastest versions of Iori and Leona as first bosses.
Its one of the most "canonical competetive"* ones and specially in China.
I define them any KOF outside of a Dream Match like 2000,XI and 13 due to their own features--HanzoHimemiya (talk) 02:47, 15 December 2015 (MSK)
Gameplay Overview
Block - Hold back to block mid hitting and overhead attacks or down-back to block low attacks. While blocking, you take no damage from normals and a single pixel-per-hit when blocking special/desperation moves. You can also block in the air while jumping up or back. Ground normals cannot be air guarded.
Air Block - For Advanced Mode: Neutral Jump or Back Jump and hold any backwards direction. For Extra Mode: Full Jump in any direction and hold any backwards direction. This type of defense only works against special moves, desperation moves and against any aerial attack that isn't an air throw. Any grounded normal attack will hit any airborne opponent. The only known exception is if the character is already air-blocking and the opponent lands before the character does and attacks with a grounded normal attack. In this instance, the airborne character will maintain an air block. At certain heights, a character cannot air block until the character reaches a higher altitude.
Hop - Performed by quickly tapping any upward direction. Performing a hop can be difficult at first but being able to select from any jump option at a moment's notice is absolutely vital to KOF. One trick is to quickly move from an upward direction to down in order to avoid holding up for too long and causing a jump. Hops are fast and possibly the least vulnerable of all jump types (the hopping player moves forward under 1/3 of the screen's length) which make them difficult to react to when under pressure. Using air-to-ground attacks from hops is a quick way to keep the opponent blocking while gaining frame advantage afterward. Once used to seeing hops, they become easier to anti-air when an opening presents itself. Hops are great for baiting and then punishing sweeps.
Hyper Hop - Performed by first pressing any downward direction, then quickly tapping up-forward or up-back. You cannot hyper hop straight up, eg. neutral. Can also be done by running and inputting a hop. Hyper hops are even faster and travel further than normal hops.
Jump - The option that should be the most familiar with most fighting game players, jumps in KOF are performed the same way as in any game: just press and hold any upwards direction. Jumps reach a high vertical height which suits them for maneuvering over non-ground hugging fireballs or challenging the other player in the air. Jumping carries a longer aerial hang time which gives the other player more substantial time to counter with an anti-air or air-to-air. Additionally, a normal jump covers the same horizontal distance as a hyper hop. Jumps end up getting punished more often than either hops, and so much like in any fighting game the player should have a set reason or strategy in mind before jumping heedlessly.
Super Jump - Super jumps are done by pressing any downward direction and holding up-back or up-forward. It can also be performed by jumping normally while running. You cannot super jump straight up, eg. neutral. A super jump travels a bit further than 1/2 of the screen length. Combined with the widescreen ratio this creates more safety from fullscreen against being jumped on. A super jump travels faster and further than a standard jump although tall vertical height of the jump arc makes this the easiest of all air options to counter with an anti-air.
Back Dash - Tap back twice quickly. During a back dash, you are considered airbone which means you can perform air command normals and air special moves as well as evade low attacks. Using a command normal will cause the trajectory and recovery period of the back dash to change.
Guard Cancel Strike (CD counter) - Press C and D simultaneously while guarding a move. Similar to Dead Angle Attacks from ArkSys games, your character cancels their guard animation and blockstun into their C+D attack to (hopefully) counter your opponent's move. Uses one power stock.
Taunt - Press Start. Has no use in gameplay other than to style on your opponent or mock them. Note that you do not have to commit to the entire taunt animation, it can be canceled by movement after a certain time.
Controls and basic notation of KOF 97.

Basic Strategy
Use neutral hops(and jumps) attacks as means sometimes to defend yourself. In the Fatal Fury and KOF games it can look like your ground normals are terrible/not as strong. Using neutral hops and jumps this can make the difference for stopping air attacks where your ground attacks wouldn't do the job. As well as tag grounded attacks with hops. Finding the sweet spot and timing for certain air attacks will take practice.
Throw Bug : A widespread tech who permits to connect jump attacks with special / DM throw (very useful to characters who have one or several special / DM throw in their movelist thus).
For example : j.C > hcf + P with Iori.
j.D > hcb, f + C with Chang.
j.A > (hcb + P) *2 with Clark
Ghost step : A widespread tech also which is much more complicated to do but which must be mastered because it has important advantages.
The steps to follow to achieve Ghost Step in combos :
1) You mustn't have a crystal
2) You must do any move (normal or special)
3) During the recovery of move in question, input a forward-ended super move with channelling the button before the end of recovery (a super move who's present in the movelist of character in question). .
If i take Iori like example, his DM moves are qcf , hcb + P and qcb , hcf+ P.
The super move which should be used is qcb , hcf+ P cause this super included a forward-ended.
4) Hold forward and button
In summary, to succeed the very popular Iori's combo (hcf + P > Ghost Step > C > f + A > (qcf + C) *3) (i will put A like light punch instead of P) , you must do :
hcf + A > qcb , hcf + A during recovery of hcf+A > hold forward and A button > stop holding forward and A botton when you're in close contact with the opponent > C > f + A > (qcf + C)*3
This method is used for all characters.
If you want to do a ghost step after a backdash, you must input a forward-ended super move with channelling the button during recovery of backdash sprite.
If you want to do a ghost step after guaarding moves of opponent, you must input a forward-ended super move with channelling the button during recovery of guard sprite

In conclusion (Combining both tier list):
-Orochi Iori and Leona are Tourney Banned due that they are only speedish versions of the normal ones.
-Japan Team is the best team in the game.
-Terry Bogard is semi-god due to their Power Charge crouching A glitch infinite,and Yamazaki have one with the dp+B move but isn't useful as Terry one.
-Orochi Chris is the only decent EX version of the boss team of the game.
-Blue Mary and Chizuru are the femme fatales of the game.
-The rest can be mid-tier everyone else except of Normal Shermie and Andy that can be the Low Tier ones
-Shingo is the joke character by excellence.
My Personal tier list can be like this:
Orochi Iori,Orochi Leona and Orochi
Iori and Terry
Japan Team,Blue Mary,Chizuru,Orochi Chris,Yamazaki
Everyone Else with 94 Kyo
Andy and Normal Shermie

1. If the restrictions on infinite combos and raw supers are lifted, Terry and Yamazaki will be top-tiered. Characters like Benimaru and Mary will be slightly stronger, while characters like Chang and Daimon will be relatively weaker. Reference match: http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XOTE4NTMzMjcy/v.swf
2. If no rule is applied, two characters will dominate the game - Orochi and O.Iori. Other characters have negligible influence on the match result. Game will be like this: http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMTQ4NzA4NjE2NA==/v.swf
3. Extra mode is considered inferior to the Advanced mode in KOF97. Thus, tier lists are based on the latter mode only.
