Rob Lowe Is Bottling the Secret to His Ageless Face
By Katie Dickens May 18, 2015
Time marches on but Rob Lowe's face does not. IMDB claims this man is 51, which we find impossible to accept. How does something like this happen, you ask? No, he hasn't made a pact with the devil or discovered Ponce de Leon's life giving fountain in northern Florida. Rather Lowe's been acting as a human guinea pig in the name of his side hustle—skincare. And apparently it's working for him (I mean, just look at him!). After six years of putting himself out there as a test subject, he's ready to unveil his magical tonics to the world. Lowe's brand, called Profile, is a five-piece skincare range that aims to take the guesswork out of saving face while offering noticeable results (but no money-back guarantees that you'll look as good as him). He sat down with us to reveal the impetus behind this labor of love, how creating skincare is like building a house, and which one of his character would marinate in the stuff.
What made you decide to create a grooming line?
Well, you know I created it from the ground up. It's been six years of very hard work to get this day. It's really exciting. I think that I'm like most guys in that I didn't think about skincare or sunscreen or moisturizers or any of it but because of my job, I had people who did. And since the time I was 15, they have been doing that for me. And so I got to a certain point in my life where I started to see the results in my skin and the results in others that did not. I wanted to create something so all men could reap the benefits of what I have had…

What you have had forced upon you?
Exactly. I couldn't have said it better myself. It's years and years and years of working with the best and the brightest who have been making me look my best. And then distilling it into what's absolutely essential, what's really, really easy, not fussy, and offers the most bang for your buck.
Did you consult any of your regular groomers when you were formulating the line?
Part of the six years process was about finding the right partners, the labs, the people in the industry. I surrounded myself with people who knew how to practically get me what I wanted. The other side of it is my wife, before she went on to four other careers, she was the leading makeup artist for men in Hollywood. She worked with guys like Al Pacino, Harrison Ford, me, Kiefer Sutherland. So a lot of stuff I learned about grooming, I learned from her.
Was she also forcing it on you?
Oh yeah. Oh my gosh. And eventually I learned. And now I'm at a point where men go, "Dude, what's happening with you?" Guys on the street literally will stop me and ask me, "What is your regimen?" And what I realized is that I do have one. And I've had it for years. It was this. It was various versions of this [gestures towards the products]. Before that it was whatever the makeup artist would use so it was a woman's version of an under-eye product. And they didn't care how much it cost or where they get it or how long it takes to put on. I care about all of that. And so that's why I had to create my own line.
What were your top priorities when it came to the brand?
Results, ease, and lack of hassle. So what we have are a cleanser, you have to clean your face. What do you want from your cleanser? I'm very particular about it. I don't want to smell like a fragrance factory. I want it to have the right amount of suds. I want it to be gentle enough and designed for my face but in a pinch, if I want to use it on my body, I can.
Most men don't get enough sleep. The statistics are crazy depressing on that. And we know the eyes are the first place that shows evidence of that. So our Revive under eye treatment is our secret weapon. It has a rollerball. This is something that guys can throw in their pocket. I keep one in my pocket. Women have all these fun things. They have lipstick. They're like, "I'm just going to put on this lipstick." And guys have nothing so my thing is that you're coming to final approach to JFK, I go into the bathroom and just womp womp [this is the sound of using eye serum] apply this eye product. You come home from work and have a date, and womp womp [another eye serum application], so this makes a difference.
There is a consistent anti-aging component in everything we do. It was important that this was built for men, not a repackaged version of what's for women. Men's skin is different—it's 30% thicker, the pores are bigger, we start losing our collagen at 20. We have that in the chemistry of the line. You're never too young to pay attention to that. And I wanted it to be non-toxic, so it's toxic free certified. I didn't want any added water. My thing is if it's going into the product, it's going in for a reason. And there really isn't anything like it. And that's the cool thing about getting to build something like this yourself.
Where did you come up with the name?
My movie and TV development company is called Low Profile so I just shortened it. And it had the added value of one of the most distinguished views of a man's face.
Will you be adding to the line?
We developed products that aren't out because I wanted to be very disciplined when I say to men, if you trust me on aesthetics and staying youthful looking, this is what is the necessary. And we will be introducing fragrances. That was the most fun. We worked with Dron, the lab down the street [from the interview location in New York City's West Village]. There's a long storied history of celebrities being affiliated with fragrances. But I'm actually creating this fragrance, not just attaching my name to it.
What took the longest to get right?
I wanted to get the right sunscreen moisturizer so we will have one. It's really hard to do. There's a reason why there isn't a great one out there. It's really important. We have one but it's taking forever because it has to be right. It's important because I'm outdoorsy. I'm outside all the time so it's a big deal for me. Getting the scent right on the cleanser took forever. I think like most guys, if I want to have a scent on me, I want it to be my choice. I felt there was a need for what a regular guy wants. They want a fragrance in certain things, and not in others.
And what went into the packaging design?
The design of the packaging took almost as long as creating the compounds. Getting the midnight blue exactly right. These airless pumps create their own issues with the fill and time frames. I was really specific. I have a strong point of view on aesthetics. I hate those pumps on Cetaphil. This is the difference between a spec house and a house you built. If you want this, then you don't get this. If you get this, then you have to have this. If you have to have this, then you're going to need this. It never ends.
It's like your baby.
I birthed this. And that's another part of it. Why you? Why now? Why this? Part of this stems from having my own sons. They're young men. One's at Duke and one's at Stanford. So they're at that moment, when they're really in the thick of trying to figure out their own male aesthetic and what that is for them. They're trying to figure out what they want and what they need. So mentoring them as a dad would (is something missing here?). It's made me think about this as well.
Are they using the products?
Voluntarily?
Well, you can never tell. [laughs]
Of all the characters you've played, which one would be most into this line?
Chris Traeger from Parks and Recs for sure. He would have loved this. He would have bathed in this. Chris Traeger thinks he's going to live to be 150 years old. He'd look good if he used this.
Final thoughts about Profile?
It's a labor of love but at the end of the day, the line totally speaks for itself. So many great people have been involved in its creation. I killed everything that was difficult or fussy. It's no different really than writing my two books. You ask, 'are people going to like it, are people going to use it.' I built what was of interest to me and then sent it out into the world in the hope that people feel the same.

With the Coalition returned to power, the opportunity to change the mix of the National Broadband Network has passed.
As the Turnbull government settles into a second term of Coalition rule, there are many unknowns awaiting this term of parliament, but of those things that we can be sure of, the direction of the National Broadband Network is one of them.
Given that the National Broadband Network is built with regard to the statement of expectations set out by the government shareholder ministers, and there is no mechanism for an obstinate Senate, or opposition parties, to modify them without also tossing out the ruling parties, a Coalition government means a multi-technology NBN.
A small window did exist to change the trajectory of the NBN, but that window closed when the crossbenchers backed the Coalition with confidence and supply this weekend, and there is still the chance the government could hold enough seats in its own right.
Barring an early election in this term, the next time Australia heads to the polls will be in 2019, the second last scheduled year of NBN's fibre to the node rollout. By that time the FttN rollout will be almost complete and contracts should be signed to finish the job -- in short, it will be impossible to stop FttN after 2019.
All the online petitions and wailing will do no good anymore -- Australia is going to get a broadband network where 38 percent of connections will be based on long runs of copper.
In technical and forethought terms, Labor's policy was the pick of the bunch at the election, but this result is in line with overall public sentiment.
As ZDNet flagged earlier in the campaign, the NBN has widespread support in the community, but few saw it as a vote changer.
With the technology question on the NBN well and truly sorted, attention will now turn to the performance of the NBN company and whether it can hit to own targets. Leaked documents have alleged the rollout is seriously delayed, and 40 FttN areas were behind schedule -- it's hardly a pristine record.
There is also the ongoing question of the status of documents seized by the Australian Federal Police in May, and indeed whether the raids were even legal.
Meanwhile, the NBN still needs to look at its connectivity virtual circuit (CVC) pricing, and needs to raise between AU$16.5 billion and AU$26.5 billion of debt to complete the network. Balancing these two issues will be quite the task, and the government will be keen to avoid having to prop up NBN.
Small solace for NBN watchers will be the likely return of the Senate NBN committee to keep a close eye on the rollout and probe Bill Morrow from time to time.
The next three years for the NBN are set to continue the plan set out in the previous three, which means if you are sitting on ADSL and are waiting for the NBN, you better get used to the idea of having a FttN connection.

Nonprofit Newswire | Foundation Scholarships Failing to Make the Grade
Bruce S Trachtenberg
August 29, 2010; Source: Dallas News | The discovery that a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Dallas awarded scholarships worth $20,000 from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation to four relatives and a top aide's two children, violating anti-nepotism rules, is raising more questions about the charity's operations, especially on its lack of transparency. According to the Dallas News, congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson claimed she wasn't playing favorites, didn't know she was violating any rules, and if she had known of more "worthy applicants in my district," then she probably wouldn't have awarded the scholarships to her relatives. The foundation lets each member of the Congressional Black Caucus annually award $10,000 in scholarships. The foundation is supported by private and corporate gifts and receives no taxpayer funds. While there are rules governing how the money is to be awarded, there is virtually no oversight. Instead, lawmakers make their own decisions about how to hand out scholarships, including whether to decide personally, set up review panels or ask disinterested third parties to make recommendations. More so, the program operates an honor system. That meant in Johnson's case, foundation officials didn't know she was awarding money to relatives.
James Ferris, director of the Center on Philanthropy and Public Policy at the University of Southern California, said the Black Caucus Foundation's practices are out of step with the way most nonprofits operate to avoid conflicts of interest. "In this case, it sounds like the power to make those grants rests in one person," he said. "The member can allocate it without any kind of oversight or checks and balances. That's sort of the nub of the problem."
Previously, the foundation, which gave out $716,000 to 556 students last year, had been rebuked for spending more on galas and conferences that allow lobbyists to rub elbows with influential lawmakers than for scholarships. Others also fault the program because it's not that well publicized, seemingly limiting the lack of qualified applicants. Daniel Borochoff, president of the American Institute of Philanthropy, said if more people knew what is going on there would be "outrage because there are probably students who are more deserving and more needy of the funds."—Bruce Trachtenberg

Q: SDL + OpenGL: access violation when creating buffer I'm trying to make a window using SDL and then draw to it using GLEW and OpenGL.
so far I've made a window and initialized it with OpenGL, but when I try to create a buffer I get a wired exception.
My code looks like this:
#include <GL\glew.h>
#include <SDL.h>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{

    SDL_Window* window;
    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);

    //creating SDL window
    window = SDL_CreateWindow("",100,100,500,400,SDL_WINDOW_OPENGL);

    //setting up opengl
    SDL_GL_CreateContext(window);
    SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_DOUBLEBUFFER, 1);
    glClearColor(0.6f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);

    //check if glew was initialized properly
    if (glewInit() == GLEW_OK)
        std::cout << "glew ok" << std::endl;
    else
        goto end;

    ////////////////////////////////////////////////I'm Getting The Error Here
    GLuint bufferID;////////////////////////////////
    glCreateBuffers(1,&bufferID);///////////////////
    glDeleteBuffers(1,&bufferID);///////////////////

    SDL_Event sdlEvent;

    //event loop
    while (1)
        while (SDL_PollEvent(&sdlEvent))
            if (sdlEvent.type == SDL_QUIT)
                goto end;

    end:
        SDL_Quit();

    return 0;
}

error: Exception thrown at 0x00000000 in opengl_project.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation executing location 0x00000000.

A: the problem was that opengl was outdated (version 4.3) and glCreateBuffers is a 4.5+ feature
If you have a simular problem a solution could be updating your graphics driver or just using glGenBuffers (version 1.5+) instead.

Water is one of the most essential elements on Earth. The environment, animals, and humans alike depend on it to thrive. Although there appears to be a limitless amount of water on the planet, only a small percentage of that water is consumable or safe for human use. Unfortunately, this small percentage of water, as well as the world's water supply as a whole, is at risk due to water pollution. When water is polluted it affects not only humankind, but the ecosystem as well. Because of the importance of water to the balance of all life, finding solutions to water pollution must become a priority. In order to find these solutions however, people must understand certain water pollution facts.
There are numerous causes of water pollution; however, a majority of them are a result of the actions of mankind. Pollutants may be domestic and municipal in nature, or industrial. Infectious agents, inorganic chemicals, organic chemicals, radioactive waste, sediment, plant nutrients, and oxygen-demanding waste are all common causes of water pollution. Sediment, such as soil and silt, is one of the most common water pollutants and is typically the result of land erosion. Thermal pollution is another pollutant and comes from the heat created by power plants and industrial cooling. Plastic bottles, bags and packaging also make their way into the ocean, forming large islands of garbage in the process.
The effects of water pollution can easily be seen in the environment. Pollutants such as fertilizer can cause an increase in algae and plants that choke off the available oxygen. The decrease in oxygen due to the overcrowding of algae has been known to cause the widespread death of fish and other marine life. Radioactive waste from nuclear power plants result in harmful mutations in the animals who are exposed. Insecticides in the water supply can kill both plant and animal life, including bees which are necessary for pollination. Other undeniable water pollution facts include the effect of garbage in the water. Animals such as fish can get entangled by the plastic or they can choke. Birds and sea life that consume the plastic derive no nutrients from it and may die of malnutrition, or from the toxins that plastics soak up from the ocean itself.
How are Pesticides Affecting Water Quality?
Water pollution can result in the poisoning of fish and other animals that have lived in or drank from the affected water supply. This can result in the widespread deaths of fish and other animal life, the disruption of the natural food chain, and food shortages for humans. The effects of water pollution also include the risk of food poisoning that goes undetected until health problems emerge. Infectious agents that contaminate the water, including animal or human waste, can cause disease and illness, such as cholera. Algae in the water supply can release toxins that are potentially deadly to humans. Medicines flushed into sewers can find their way back into the water supply, potentially resulting in congenital birth defects and reproductive problems. In addition, radioactive water pollution results in an increased risk of various types of cancer.
The best solutions to water pollution involve prevention rather than cleaning up after the fact. Fortunately there are a variety of ways that environmentally conscious people can stop pollution from occurring in the first place. Farms can abstain from dumping chemicals into streams, including agricultural waste, fertilizer or pesticides. Community groups can mark storm drains to warn people against dumping chemicals or garbage down the drains. Cities can provide the means for the proper recycling of used motor oil or disposal of unused medications. Even driving fewer miles and burning less fossil fuels will help alleviate water pollution by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which contributes to making the oceans more acidic.


My stomach is making weird sounds and now my fart will disturb your leisure!
That's exactly you wake up in the middle of the night and your Mom catches and you can't even pronounce hungry properly.
I can hear food even I'm 2 miles away from the person and of course the smell too!
My love for the food never ends. Even I'm done with the dessert, I can again start with the starter.
Let's get engaged and provide me just with the food for the lifetime. That's sounds Yummy.
That looks so sophisticated. My Face expression is worse when I have food.
When someone takes my pizza!
Or I will shoot you straightaway in your head. It's okay if you have one piece but not more then that.
She was meowing all the way and when I said her No. She refuses to hear my instructions.
My anger disappears if you just give me food. It melts down my anger like the cheese on the pizza!
I didn't cry like that in front of everyone but I cried in front of delicious food, that were my tears of joy!

Many people expressed serious concerns when presented with the idea of deliberately manipulating Earth's climate, according to a focus-group study conducted in four places around the world. But despite those negative feelings, they remained open about "geoengineering" or climate intervention ideas, in the face of a changing climate and uncertain future.
In the new study, published in the September-October issue of Climatic Change, CIRES and collaborators around the world used focus group discussions to study the ways non-scientists sought to understand large-scale "climate engineering" technologies. They found that participants in all places focused less on the details of the specific technologies, and more on the meaning of those technologies, including the reality of climate-related risks to their communities and the broader world.
Dilling, along with Rachel Hauser of the National Center for Atmospheric Research led the U.S. component of a focus-group study to explore what people think of climate engineering technologies. The goal was not to complete a total, representative survey of the globe, but rather start to understand how people form opinions and make sense of these controversial concepts—which for now exist mainly in the minds of scientists.
During focus groups in the United States, Japan, New Zealand and Sweden, researchers began by asking about how participants thought about environmental change and climate change specifically. Then the researchers neutrally described the technologies proposed for climate engineering to see how focus group participants reacted and how people made sense of the largely unfamiliar concepts. The technologies described included: pulling large quantities of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere with giant scrubbers and storing it in underground, and reflecting solar radiation away from the Earth with mirrors deployed in space or brightened clouds.
Many focus group members reacted first with nervous laughter. Most participants had not heard of climate engineering. So they made sense of these unfamiliar concepts by creating analogies to what they already knew. During the sessions, participants compared climate engineering to technologies such as transport infrastructure, the introduction of species to new areas or large-scale nuclear power. Even though all focus group participants were recruited because they said they were interested in environmental problems, few knew much about the climate engineering technologies, and many met the ideas with skepticism.
What happens if the technologies backfire with unintended consequences?
Are these solutions treating the symptoms of climate change rather than the cause?
Shouldn't we just change our lifestyle and consumption patterns to fight climate change, making climate engineering a last resort?
Isn't there a greater need to address political solutions to reduce our emissions?
For many participants, their perception of climate engineering echoed their personal beliefs about how humans should interact with nature. For example, the focus group held in Boulder, Colorado—a community well-known for its eco-conscious mindset—emphasized the need to reduce carbon footprints by driving less or choosing sustainable foods.
Another topic that came up during focus groups discussions in all four locations: If large-scale climate engineering technologies were deployed, would it give people an excuse to keep rapidly burning fossil fuels, extending our dependence on them? Participants wondered: If technology existed to clean up our messes—would we continue to carelessly make them?
Finally, most participants felt it might be necessary to "keep the door open" for climate engineering research—especially when moderators introduced the idea of a future "climate emergency" such as rapid environmental change. Overall, participants felt that mitigation and adaptation were strongly preferred options for responding to climate change, with climate engineering seen as a last resort.

List Of Players Who Have Won Best FIFA Women's Award Till Now


So what are my top 9 things every dieter should know? One of my one to one coaching clients has just hit their first 14 lb loss eating around an extra 1800 calories a day! When we first spoke she was eating 800 calories a day, feeling very low and GAINING weight!
In 2013 2 in 3 women tried to lose weight and 61% of the UK population are overweight.
The diet industry is a multi BILLION pound industry – if you don't get and stay fat they don't get paid. The Brits spent £1.8 billion on diet food products last year.
Low calorie diets don't work. They often restrict fat intake; they have you eating far too much sugar and reducing calories instead of increasing nutrients. The body will just compensate for the reduction in calories by slowing your metabolism – i.e. using less energy.
49% of dieters are still trying to lose weight by cutting back on fat, a real mistake. Eating fat does not make you fat! Choosing the right fats such as Olive and Coconut Oils, Avocados, Oily Fish and even saturated fats from free range, grass fed animals (preferably organic) in place of carbohydrates and processed foods will curb your appetite and encourage the body to burn fat instead of sugars.
The average woman has been on 61 diets by the age of 45 with the average length of a diet being 15 days before people give up.
The best diets are ones that make small changes in your daily habits and lifestyle, such ditching the sugar in your tea, swapping your 4pm donut for a pot of natural yoghurt and a handful of blueberries or walking (the faster the better) to work rather than taking the car.
Around 35% of women end up heavier after the diet than when they started.
Only 5% of women are reported to never worry about their weight – a shocking statistic but having worked with literally 100's and 100's of women I know that body confidence is one of the biggest issues that is troubling women today!
Your next diet doesn't have to be another lettuce munching disaster!

Thousands and thousands of state pensioners might be receiving the DWP's Christmas bonus this week | Personal Finance | Finance
MoneyUK
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) confirmed the £10 Christmas Bonus given to those that get the state pension or claim one other qualifying DWP profit might be paid from Monday, December 5. The Christmas one-off tax-free payment is made to assist individuals with the added costs of the festive period. The DWP confirmed yesterday the payment can be made in the primary full week of December.
It won't be made on only one specific day, but throughout the week so people should proceed to ascertain their accounts.
In a press release, the Department said: "It would be paid in the primary full week of December. So, throughout this week, people will receive their payment. It's paid mechanically, so no one needs to assert it."
There are 20 advantages which made someone eligible for the Christmas bonus and they have to be claiming it through the "qualifying week".
The advantages which get the Christmas bonus include Attendance Allowance, Pension Credit, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), and Carer's Allowance.
READ MORE: Pensioners could get 'lifeline' payment price as much as £370 per 30 days
The entire list includes:
Adult Disability Payment
Armed Forces Independence Payment
Child Disability Payment
Constant Attendance Allowance (paid under Industrial Injuries or War Pensions schemes)
Contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance (once the foremost phase of the profit is entered after the primary 13 weeks of claim)
Incapacity Profit on the long-term rate
Industrial Death Profit (for widows or widowers)
Mobility Complement
Severe Disablement Allowance (transitionally protected)
Unemployability Complement or Allowance (paid under Industrial Injuries or War Pensions schemes)
War Disablement Pension at State Pension age
Widow's Pension.
Widowed Mother's Allowance
Widowed Parent's Allowance
Widow's Pension
The "qualifying week" of the 2022 Christmas Bonus payment is that this week, starting December 5 to December 11.
To qualify, in addition to receiving one among the advantages listed below, people must even be present or "ordinarily resident" within the UK, Channel Islands, Isle of Man or Gibraltar through the qualifying week.
If someone is an element of a married couple, in a civil partnership or lives together, each will get the money bonus – so long as each are eligible.
If someone's partner doesn't get one among the qualifying advantages, they could still get the Christmas Bonus.
This might occur if each partners are over the state pension age by the top of the qualifying week and in the event that they were also present within the UK, the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Gibraltar, European Economic Area (EEA) country or Switzerland through the qualifying week.
The DWP confirmed that each of those reasons must apply to ensure that them to qualify.
If someone thinks they need to get the bonus but haven't, the DWP recommends they contact the Jobcentre Plus office which deals with their payments or the Pension Service.
The £10 bonus was first introduced in 1972 by the Conservative Government on the time to supply additional support at a time of high inflation.
The bonus has stayed at £10 since its inception five a long time ago except in 2008, when it increased to £70 to support 15 million vulnerable people through the financial crash.
While £10 was considered a big sum of cash in 1972 many have criticised the payment now with many saying the £10 payment isn't enough to assist with the associated fee of Christmas today.
In 2019, the anti-poverty charity Turn2us urged the Government to extend the bonus according to inflation, saying it needs to be price around £130 now.
Nevertheless, the £10 bonus would wish to extend much more to fulfill the present level of inflation the UK is seeing immediately.
One other criticism of the bonus is that it goes to all pensioners, no matter their income in retirement and for some, £10 may mean little or no.
Express.co.uk contacted the DWP for further comment.

Isolation challenging reality: from Eraserhead to Solar Lottery
8 September, 2013 2 August, 2019
A body blasting into interplanetary transport and switching between remote minds, a man's identity lost and transformed into that of the previous Parisian apartment tenant, a crying baby more sheep than human. These are some of the unsettling and inventive scenes from the novel 'Solar Lottery' (Philip Kindred Dick, 1955) and the films 'The Tenant' (Roman Polanski, 1976) and Eraserhead (David Lynch, 1977) respectively.
Perhaps because of my work in the last couple of years taking in visual fragments of the technology and decaying infrastructure of urbanscape, the connections between the above artists are more apparent and inspiring, particularly in terms of atmosphere and energy. Though ostensibly from the disparate genres of science fiction, psychological thriller and surrealism, all three have themes that take an isolated central character on the fringes of society and become outcast, embroiled in increasingly bizarre situations and overtaken by paranoia and fear rendering reality a series of splintered and madcap theatrical events.
The first darkened black and white shots from Eraserhead set the overall atmosphere for the film, an obscured revolving stellar/bodily planet cut off from any sense of humanity and heavily containing some surrealist dread, compounded by the underlying low noise. It spins uncomfortably in its orbit. After this start the comical figure of Henry (actor Jack Nance) wondering through a story of new fatherhood in an unfriendly industrial neighbourhood is almost easy going and fun, especially with the unhinged moments of the stone cold dinner dish of roast chickens that are still very much alive, or the tiny abashed singer, whose stage is teasingly behind the radiator and who cheers us and Henry up with her strangely puffed cheeks and a little sing song to boot. The lyrics are catchy and intriguing too – 'In heaven, everything is fine…you've got a your good thing, and I've got mine…'
Like Lynch's short film 'Industrial Soundscape', the sound is fascinating. It really holds Eraserhead together with its deep bass and hissing within so many layers adding eerie poignancy and depth, changing subtly between shots of characters and scene. Dialogue is minimal as Henry's mind slowly, almost mechanically works to the grinding sounds and flickers between charcoal grey tones and black with blacks in the muted electric lit corridors and rooms.
Solar Lottery
Whilst Henry is marooned in a twentieth century dystopian confusion within some suppressed and dangerous society (directly taken from Lynch's experience living in part of Philadelphia), in Dick's debut SF thriller novel 'Solar Lottery' the protagonist Ted Benteley is caught in a more futuristic breakdown of reality, and like most of his lead characters in other novels such as 'Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said', is on the run. Ted reels against this world where the unclassified serfs and the contracted workers, who give a life and death oath to their employers. There is an abounding lack of humanity where people's understanding of cause and effect have vanished long ago, and even psychological states are not personal but easily shared. Unlike Lynch's more postmodern take on society, Philip K. Dick's prodding visions are more political perhaps, but there are similar sociological themes and especially this feeling of characters in turmoil as their safety net is ripped apart by dark forces, seen in 'Mulholland Drive' or 'Lost Highway' for instance, and in some Polanski films where his personal experience of being on the move, a foreigner in unsympathetic country, no doubt surfaces.
In 'The Tenant' (Le Locitaire) Polanski directs and himself stars as Trelkovsky (uncredited), another character who becomes trapped helplessly in a spiralling situation, this time in the flat of an apartment block in Paris where a suicide had taken place. The director masterfully crafts the film with exciting techniques and clever editing now standard for psychological thrillers, but also in a compelling yet unsettling and sometimes funny way (like Eraserhead in this regard), which also traps the viewer with a lack of self belief, as the inhuman faces and actions of the surrounding community take their toll. This is the final part of his 'Apartment Trilogy' after 'Rosemary's Baby', equally stylish but this time more distorted, abstracted and inconclusive.
The three tales of Eraserhead, The Tenant and Solar Lottery point towards alternate realities for individuals and inanimate objects that are constantly shifting in a strange flux… in contained corridors and claustrophobic apartments where our sense of identity is no longer really relevant – the world takes over and opens up new stellar possibilities.

career just The Red Sox gave the Yankees and their obnoxious fans a bit of hope when they crawled within four games of the division lead. And there was a bit of panic in Red Sox Nation. Where are all those obnoxious, pinstripe wearing, Derek Jeter loving, Roger Clemens worshipping fans now? At home licking their wounds from a 16-0 pounding by the Detroit Tigers. Not only is Mike Mussina's career just about over, but so is the fantasy of the Yankees catching the Red Sox.
This goes out to Beckett, Schilling and Dice-K (I will not even try to spell his first or last name). Put the Yankees away the next three days. Stomp on their chests, dig their graves, buy them a one way ticket out of town. Do whatever you have to do….just so I can keep talking trash.

Review: Dense And Oblique, Monte Hellman's 'Road To Nowhere' A Welcome Return
Review: Dense And Oblique, Monte Hellman's 'Road To Nowhere' A Welcome Return
Christopher Bell
@karioutcb
The reemergence of a well-respected filmmaker will always draw the eyes of cinephiles everywhere; these once-master auteurs come out of hiding, hoping to recapture the energy and attention they once had. "The Godfather" auteur Francis Ford Coppola is currently enjoying a second career in film, and though he isn't making serious bank ("Youth Without Youth" couldn't even muster up $250,000 domestically), his latest output is some of his best work since the early 1980s. Few are as successful critically as that, and though we all have our dream lists (this writer can't be the only one hoping for a new Nagisa Oshima), some filmmakers can't restart the fire they once had — often it feels like they're trying too hard to either keep up with current stylistic trends or forcing out a passion that they no longer have. Either way, these artistic resuscitations are often only ever seen as complete travesty or modern masterpiece, regardless of how detrimental those extremist labels truly are. Which brings us to this unfortunate question: which camp does "Road to Nowhere" by Monte Hellman (director of the great "Two-Lane Blacktop," absent from features since 1989) fall into? Depending on your affinity for David Lynch/Claire Denis-type narrative puzzles, it could go either way.
Beginning in one reality, activist blogger Nathalie Post (Dominique Swain, "Alpha Dog") pops a DVD into her laptop, one holding a movie based on a small-town story she had wrote on. As she navigates the crude undergrad-student-worthy menu, the camera zooms into her computer screen and the movie she's watching ultimately engulfs the screen, becoming the new reality. Right off the bat things get very tricky to follow, which makes it even rougher to explain, but here we go. Mitch Haven (Tygh Runyan, "Snakes on a Plane") is directing a film based on a bizarre, noir-ish money embezzlement/murder plot involving Cuban femme-fatale Velma Duran and sleazy politico Rafe Tachen. Haven casts his low-budget piece with your typical hey-it's-that-guy actors, finding Tachen in actor Cary Stewart (Cliff De Young, "Suicide Kings") and Duran in the dead-ringer Laurel Graham (Shannyn Sossamon, "A Knight's Tale"). But as the movie-within-a-movie goes on, Haven becomes inexplicably drawn to Graham and shifts the focus from b-movie pulp thriller to moody, intense character study — with the beautiful Sossamon front and center. And as we progress with the film, the various realities intertwine fluidly, the line between fact and fiction becoming non-existent. Is Laurel Graham playing Velma Duran, or did she fake her death as part of some grand scheme?
Those looking to crack the mystery are barking up the wrong tree, as specific details are scant and there's seems to be little (if any) difference in how either reality is shot. Despite the near-impossible puzzle, "Road to Nowhere" still manages to entice in its characters and their relationships. Haven and Graham are tender; he's so infatuated with her beauty and tolerance in watching classic movies with him that he overlooks her questionable acting and (possibly) shady past. Haven and the unnamed writer (played by Rob Kolar) suggest the typical tension among directors and writers (why the heck is he on set in the first place??) but they play it well, never veering off into theatrics but always subtly tense and about to snap. These examples also feel very personal, though it's admittedly easy to draw comparisons when the main character in a movie is a director sharing the same initials as the actual filmmaker. Still, even those with a passing knowledge of the director might suppose that the main romantic relationship possibly shares an inkling with the one between Hellman and his 'Two-Lane' actress Laurie Bird, with a melancholic glaze over the intimate scenes stemming from her suicide in the late 1970s.
'Road' also succeeds because the brain-twisting back-and-forth between the film and the film-within never once gets frustrating to the point of abandonment. Those sick of the multiple curveballs by shows like "Lost" will be happy that Hellman is smart enough to refrain from that nonsense; instead, it's more of a marriage between "Lost Highway" and "The Intruder," just as opaque and visually metaphorical but sinister in its scenes and sequences, enough to hold the attention of those unwilling to try and attempt to read between the lines. Because the audience can never figure out if an actor is acting or scheming something vile, it feels like the characters we're watching are either always dangerous or in danger. This adds a layer of anxious terror, one that only becomes more pronounced when Bruno Brotherton (Waylon Payne), a consultant on Haven's flick, begins to do some research with Post and becomes sure that the actress playing Duran is actually Duran herself.
Using Canon 5Ds, and embarking to the mountains of North Carolina plus Rome and London, the "Cockfighter" filmmaker and his director of photography Josep M. Civit embrace new, inexpensive technology without ever making the production feel cheap. Coverage is a bit more traditional than Hellman's previous work (at least figuring 'Two-Lane,' which featured plenty of scenes taken care of in single-shot wides) without being journeyman. Each frame is rather gorgeous, and while the script dabbles in some more costly special effects (such as planes crashing and flying around), they get away with corny CGI thanks to his film-within-a-film structure. However, one example of an explosion almost seems directly lifted from "Mortal Kombat 2" (that's the video game, mind you), and there seems to be little excuse for that minuscule yet noticeable lack of craftsmanship. Even the tiniest budgets could hopefully afford something a bit better (see: "Monsters").
Let's not derail and start harping on unfortunate computer graphics that factor little into the overall experience. As much as the form works, those working outside of the narrative and attempting to dissect the dense secrets might come up fairly slight. There's a lot going on here in terms of fact/fiction, the psyche of a filmmaker, etc. But once all of the obstructions are removed and we get down to the nitty-gritty explanations and intentions, it doesn't leave much to chew on other than very simplistic ideas. That said, there's likely much that this writer either mistook, misinterpreted, or just plain ol' missed. Probably the best thing to say about "Road to Nowhere" is that people will be talking about it, discussing their varied interpretations. Hellman's return isn't perfect nor is it a failure, but it's definitely a solid offering, falling somewhere in between. [B]

"Our staff believes in building memories around food and eating. It's simple: We like feeding people."
What?! It must be fate 'cause I love being fed too!
Anyway, fast forward a few months later and I was back at Porzia again. Here's a shot of the 68-seat restaurant with its massive 21-foot bar on the left. The room is long and narrow with a decor that's both modern with a hint of vintage.
A custom built host stand made with old warship and plane parts.
It's always more fun to sit at the chef's table :) That's Pesce on the right in black.
Snuck in another shot of Pesce.
To start off, I love all the sharing-friendly plates at Porzia. You will never have to finish a giant plate of pasta by yourself or get stuck with just one entree for your entire meal. At Porzia, all the portions are just right with an opportunity for everyone at the table to try a bit of everything. Secondly, I'm particularly fond of the execution of all the dishes. By keeping things simple and uncomplicated, Pesce lets the ingredients speak for themselves allowing their natural flavours to shine through. Highlights for me that evening were the hamachi crudo, octopus and lasagne. Although I had the hamachi crudo at the soft opening, I couldn't resist not ordering it again. The thinly sliced fresh hamachi was just fantastic. Light and refreshing with a hint of citrus-y lemon and a drizzle of olive oil, the hamachi crudo was a brilliant start to my meal. On a bed of smooth and creamy semolina, the grilled octopus was ridiculously soft and tender. Finished with crisp julienned apple, this dish is hard to beat. As for the lasagne? Best I've ever had! Although Pesce claims that his lasagne is not nearly as good as his Mother's but rather just "good enough", it is still #1 in my books.


In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service, the Laney College Architecture program partnered with the National Park Service and the Peralta Hacienda House to create a parklet commemorating the Juan Bautista de Anza Historic Trail. On April 18, as part of National Parks week, their creation was unveiled. Representatives from the Park Service joined our students in celebrating this addition to the National Park System right here in Oakland. After a brief stay in the Laney Tower lobby, the parklet will be disassembled for final installation at the Peralta Hacienda Historic Park.

Northeast Italy ( or just ) is one of the five official statistical regions of Italy used by the National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT), a first level NUTS region and a European Parliament constituency. Northeast encompasses four of the country's 20 regions:

Emilia-Romagna
Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol
Veneto

Culturally and historically, Emilia-Romagna is part of Northwest Italy, but is included in Northeast Italy for statistical reasons.

Culture
Italian is the main language. Other languages include Venetian, widely spoken in Veneto and along the coast to Trieste and Istria, as well as in the towns of Pordenone and Gorizia in Friuli, and in most of Trentino, but only recognised by the Veneto region; Friulian, spoken in most of Friuli and nationally recognized, and Ladin, spoken by a few thousand people in the Dolomites. Other languages are German, the primary language of South Tyrol, where Italian is spoken by about two thirds of the inhabitants, and Slovene, recognized by Italy and spoken on the border of Italy and Istria, where the main language today is Croatian but Italian is recognized as a minority language.

The terms Tre Venezie or Triveneto (literally "Triple Veneto"), refer to the three regions of  Veneto (before 1947 Venezia Euganea, united to Friuli) Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol (once Venezia Tridentina) and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

Venetia, a region which indicated the old land provinces of the Venetian Republic from river Adda to river Isonzo, and is sometimes still used today to indicate this territory together with Trentino and Trieste.

Venetia et Histria, an old region of Italy at the time of Roman Empire, refers to Veneto, Trentino, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, East Lombardy and Istria; it was named after the people of Veneti, who inhabited that region, and who are still largely the main ethnic group of the Italian area (other main ethnic groups include Friulani in the east, mostly in Udine province; Ladins in the Dolomites are between Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol; Germans in South Tyrol; and Slovene minorities on the border with Slovenia and in the city of Trieste); while after 1947 Venetian/Italian people are just a minority in Slovenian and Croatian Istria.

Economy
The Gross domestic product (GDP) of the region was 407.9 billion euros in 2018, accounting for 23.1% of Italy's economic output. GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power was 34,900 euros or 116% of the EU27 average in the same year.

Maasland Park is a 5.307m, fictional and permanent track. It's mainly characterized by it's wide use of track camber and elavation to in- or decrease grip in specific places. In order to go fast and keep the car on the track the driver must have very good control of throttle and brakes, thus providing for a challenging experience.
PS. Anyone interested in helping finishing this track please let me know.


I've read, memorized and studied this verse for many years since accepting Jesus. Just like Jesus, every time I look at it this verse the Lord shows me something new. Jesus had just done miraculous acts in the cities Chorazin and Bethsaida then rebuked them because they did not change their mind (repent). He openly thanked His Father for hiding His truths from the wise and sharing with His babes. This text I believe is one of those.
Jesus says come to me and I will give you rest…… Our loving Savior invites us to Himself. It reminds me of the times when I just open my arms wide to my kids and they just come and dive into my chest for a big hug. It is those moments that help me show them how much I care about them and reminds them of how safe, warm and loved they feel in Daddy's arms. It is a special time and I believe that this what Jesus is inviting us to do. Then He goes even further by offering to give us rest, His rest. He's saying to us….You're tired and burdened but when you come to Me I will give you the ultimate fix for your weariness and pain.
Rest, what a great word and gift Jesus offers us. The Greek word "Anapauo" literally means to cause or permit one to cease from any movement or labour in order to recover and collect his strength. I know that you can connect with this word, have you ever worked, tried, strived, toiled, slogged and given everything that you could possibly give; only to have to keep going on to the next task, problem or chore. You need to cease from any movement, to recover and collect your strength, and this is exactly what Jesus has given us. Just know that we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses (Heb 4:15). Jesus knows exactly how that feels, in Luke He told His disciples "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." The Greek for "lay" is Klino which is the same word used when Jesus finished His marvelous work on the Cross. "He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit (John 19:30)." He worked, worked and worked but had no place to lay His head; no place to rest. He did however rest once His work was finished. We can rest and have a place to lay our heads because Jesus finished all of the work that needed to be done. All of the requirements and payment for sin was paid on the Cross and there is nothing left for us to do….it has already been done!!!!
Our job now…..Rest in Jesus' loving, warm and protective arms; after all He did all of the work for you!!


H.E.A.L. Austin is a 1-day event on March 9 that focuses on listening right before one of the loudest times in Austin — SXSW.
H.E.A.L. Austin, which stands for Helping Emotions Allow Listening, is an event being described as a transformative workshop that will allow you space to learn how to listen, share your own story all the while making new friends.
One of the organizers, Jeff Jackson with depression2extinction, said with our current political climate and mental health issues, there isn't enough listening taking place.
The free listening experiences have already started in other cities.
"They went to the Republican National Convention and they had about 30 people with free listening signs and it was just this diverse from anger from, wow, I'm so glad you're out here to somebody will listen to my point of view because nobody else is listening to me, and I think that's part of the problem right now," said Jackson.
From there, Jackson said they will come back together and discuss and share their experiences.
Organizers haven't decided on an exact location.
Make sure to check back a week before on HEALevents.org for that and all the latest information.

Relief Workers Slowly Access Conflict-Hit Delta Creeks
Source: http://www.burningpot.com
By Efosa Martins, Benin
The Nigeria Red Cross says conflict-hit areas it has been able to access in the Niger Delta are in better condition than anticipated, but that continued restrictions on aid workers' movement leaves many questions unanswered.
Government soldiers are controlling access in and out of the Delta, site of a military incursion launched on 13 May to crack down on Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) militants.
The military on 26 May granted Red Cross staff access to seven communities in Delta state.
But they were not permitted to access Okerenkoko, believed to be the heart of much of the fighting.
Most aid agencies, including Médecins Sans Frontières, are holding off entering the area until their security can be guaranteed.
"The failure to let humanitarian organisations into areas where violence is claimed to be the worst, discredits Joint Task Force claims that the civilian population is not impacted by their operations," said Joseph Croft, director of rights-group Stakeholder Democracy Network.
See timeline of events in Niger Delta
Egbero Ococity, secretary of the Nigerian Red Cross in Delta state, told IRIN he saw burned houses in the Delta villages of Korte and Oporoza, where he said militant chief Tom Polo's house was burned. But "the situation was not as bad as we were made to believe before we got there," he said. "There were houses still standing."
He added: "We saw the people, those that were left behind..It was the first time they were getting any help since the current crisis started, and they were very happy."
"They appealed for more help, particularly for medicines and food."
Residents the Red Cross met were clearly "shaken", Ococity said. "There was fear in them and it was very obvious."
Some people have told rights groups they saw government forces kill civilians.
Col Rabe Abubakar, spokesman for the special military force in the Delta, told IRIN: "It is absolutely not true that we deliberately killed civilians.The people who claim the army has been killing civilians are people who have lost out in the criminal activities of the militants and now want to paint the military in a bad light."
He continued: "We are doing this to secure the region for everybody including the civilians who had been held hostage for a very long time by these so-called militants."
Croft told IRIN: "This incursion is a serious escalation and we would be very surprised if fewer than 100 civilians have been killed - and it could easily be more."
It is difficult to ascertain the number of dead because of lack of access, dangerous waterways and conflicting accounts by government forces and MEND, an umbrella group representing a number of militant factions, say observers.
Many of the estimated 300 displaced people who fled last week to Warri capital Ogbe Ijoh - still sheltering in a primary school - told IRIN they want to go home but they know it is not yet safe to do so.
"We want to start rebuilding our lives as soon as possible," Patricia Ngwe told IRIN. "But we don't know how soon that will happen because the military operation is still ongoing....I pray that this would happen very soon."

Formerly known as Tom Gabel, Grace went public with her gender transition in 2012, a story she has shared in the pages of Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan and other numerous publications. In her latest music, she continues to detail her journey all while staying true to her earlier themes of outspoken political critique, environmentalism and personal and social liberation, with a base in American music, including country and folk-rock, and a penchant for noise and anarchy.

How do an X-Bow vessel handle in the wind? I'm thinking its going to want to turn off the wind. What about anchoring? Trying to anchor on a windy day as soon as you back down the bow is going to want to swing. And at anchor? Do they jack around on the hook like some car ships do?
A combination of tunnel and azimuthing forward thrusters would likely keep the bow right where you want it, but then again, I imagine it's pretty rare to see one at anchor though unless something was broken.
[QUOTE=Kennebec Captain;84449]How do an X-Bow vessel handle in the wind? I'm thinking its going to want to turn off the wind. What about anchoring? Trying to anchor on a windy day as soon as you back down the bow is going to want to swing. And at anchor? Do they jack around on the hook like some car ships do?
As long as the pivot point is forward I think you'd still round up into the wind even though you have more sail area forward. Definitely with a deep draft, but not so sure with a supply boat. Going straight into the wind would be difficult though. Lots of adjustments coming into an anchorage I would think. If you lost the bow, it would be a pain recovering.
LNG will not have thrusters, just one propellar and one rudder with possible bow thruster.
Been with shipbuilding for three decades, I witness that finally human being can come up with the bow that make sense.
The conventional bow shaped ship has no advantage over X-Bow ship, period.
On a 120 meter X-Bow, I did not notice an appreciable difference compared to conventional hulls, unless you were making way head into the seas.

Fair By Design partners with Trust for London to tackle the poverty premium
Fair By Design partners with…
Fair By Design is pleased to announce a two year partnership with Trust for London.
Trust for London is an independent charitable foundation that aims to tackle poverty and inequality in London. It does this by: funding voluntary and charity groups – currently Trust for London make grants totalling around £10 million a year and at any one time is supporting up to 300 organisations; funding independent research; and providing knowledge and expertise on London's social issues to policymakers and journalists.
Martin Coppack, Director of Fair By Design said:
"Fair By Design is excited to partner with Trust For London, which has a long history of using its expertise and funding to reduce poverty and inequality in the capital. We look forward to working with them to tackle the root causes of the poverty premium in London and across the UK."
Manny Hothi, Director of Policy at Trust for London, said:
"Too many Londoners struggle with the high cost of living in the capital. For those on low incomes, having to pay more for goods and services is an unfair and avoidable weight that helps keep them anchored in poverty. Fair by Design is working on sustainable, practical solutions to the poverty premium and we are delighted to be working with them."
I know what it's like to suffer at the hands of the poverty premium. My disability doesn't stop me contributing to Fair by Design.

CPC expels Shanxi ex-official
Ling Zhengce, a former senior official in Shanxi province, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China and public office after an investigation suspecting him of corruption. The probe found that Ling, former vice-chairman of the Shanxi provincial committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, exploited his position to help family members in business, sought profits for others in the promotion of officials and business operations, and took bribes, the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said on Friday in a statement on its website.
Abe's wife visits Yasukuni Shrine
China again demanded Japan squarely face its aggressive past after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's wife visited the controversial Yasukuni Shrine. Akie Abe wrote on her Facebook page on Tuesday that she visited the war shrine in Tokyo earlier in the day. The shrine honors 14 Class-A convicted war criminals among 2.5 million Japanese who died in World War II, and is regarded as a symbol of militarism. Japan should make a clean break from militarism and do more that will promote trust and reconciliation with its neighbors, said China's Foreign Ministry on Friday.
Taxi companies await guideline
Taxi companies are awaiting a new guideline from the Ministry of Transport that will include rules for obtaining cab licenses. Analysts said the government's control of taxi licenses is meant to protect consumers, but a cartel of taxi companies has been taking advantage of current regulations to monopolize the market.
Experts warn of Typhoon Goni
Meteorologists in Fujian province warned of gales brought by the approaching Typhoon Goni on Friday. The typhoon, packing maximum winds of 172 kph, is moving north by west toward the eastern seas of Taiwan, at a rate of 6 kp/h, according to the Fujian meteorological department. Goni is expected to bring gales to a large area off the coast of the East China Sea, including the Taiwan Straits and Diaoyu Islands. Fujian flood control authorities are preparing to evacuate vessels ahead of the typhoon.

What makes an entrepreneur successful? The latest scientific research revealed in this book demonstrates that entrepreneurial thinking can be easily developed by everyone and is far more than creative thinking, idea generation or brain-storming techniques.
What makes serial entrepreneurs successful is their personal mindset. What is less known is how their internal process develops their mindset to perform at the highest level. And it is much more than their ability to tolerate high risk or failure. The entrepreneur develops their personal mindset from an inner perspective, they trust that clarity will emerge from intuition to inform the initial idea or vision for a business.
This intuition is beyond the brain, it appears in the heart, gut and internal organs. We have a unique intuitive intelligence and you will learn just how entrepreneurs use this information to both attract and create a successful business.
This formula is the GPS for your entrepreneurial success. This formula has never been revealed outside the academic world. Through interviews with scientists, serial entrepreneurs and business thinkers about their individual experiences and with proven application and techniques, Jane Mara has unlocked the key to what makes serial entrepreneurs successful.
Importantly her research has focused on seeking an understanding of how successful repeat entrepreneurs integrate intuition and intentionality into recognising opportunities for business innovation and development. Jane has proven that this formula is accessible for all who wish to adopt more entrepreneurial thinking.
