Home News A mynah stowe...
A mynah stowed away in an SIA business class cabin to London – and it's now in the custody of British authorities
Rachel Genevieve Chia
The bird was caught mid-flight by cabin crew and several passengers.
Facebook/Fabrications About The PAP
Passengers on a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight from Changi Airport to Heathrow Airport on Jan 7 might just have flown alongside the world's most unusual seat mate – a wild bird that got into the aircraft and made the 14-hour flight with them to London.
A video making the rounds online shows the bird, believed to be a mynah, perched on the headrest of a seat in the business class cabin.
The bird then flies out of frame as a flight steward attempts to grab it.
An SIA spokesman confirmed to Business Insider that a bird had indeed "appeared" in the cabin of flight SQ322, and was caught by cabin crew with the assistance of several passengers.
This happened about 12 hours into the flight, the spokesman said. SIA did not comment on how the bird got into the plane unnoticed.
A previous report by The Straits Times quoted a Changi Airport Group rep as saying that birds are often looking for "food and shelter", and that the airport tries to prevent them from flying near runways by covering dustbins and banning food and drink at the airside area.
SIA added that it had handed the captured bird to British authorities in charge of animal quarantine once the plane arrived in Heathrow.

Singing Lessons for Beginners: How to Warm Up Your Voice - Musical Arts Center of San Antonio, Inc.
When you take singing lessons for beginners, your instructor will likely spend a few minutes helping you warm up your voice at the start of each session. However, if you really want to utilize your lesson time best and get the most instruction time in possible, you can actually warm up your voice at home, before leaving for your lesson. This will save time, and ensure you get as much one-on-one lesson time as you can.
Stand up straight, and maintain good posture. Put your feet flat on the floor, your head up, and your shoulders back. This will allow you to breathe properly while warming up.
Next, breathe deeply. Place your hand on your diaphragm, and feel it move up and down as you slowly breathe in and out. When exhaling, make a hissing sound. This teaches you to control the amount of air you expel and gives you a better grasp on your breath.
Use the heels of your hand to massage your jaw on both sides. This relaxes the muscles and makes singing easier.
Drink a glass of warm tea or warm water with honey. Avoid caffeine, smoking or cold drinks before your lesson.
Sing your scales. Start off with a scale you're comfortable with, and run through it a few times. Then, do the same for one octave up and one octave down.
Practice lip and tongue trills. These will relax your muscles and help strengthen your breathing.
Try a few sirens. Pick a note and slowly increase the volume, as well as the pitch. Then, go back down to where you started, and do it all over again. If done correctly, it should sound like a police siren.
Finally, hum. Pick an easy song or just a few notes, and hum them quietly to yourself. This warms up your voice without straining it or wearing it out.
Are you enrolled in singing lessons for beginners? Then try these warm up exercises before your next session. Want to learn more about singing lessons? Contact the Musical Arts Center of San Antonio today.

Microtunnel Boring Machines (MTBMs) install gravity flow pipelines that require precise line and grade in poor soil. Microtunneling is a remote-controlled, continuously supported pipe jacking method.
The selection of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) for a particular job is dependent on the type of soil being bored. A slurry tunnel boring machine may be used where there is a significant amount of groundwater.

You Gotta Do The Reps!
I thought I go with the self evident statement right out of the blocks. If you want to get good at something you gotta do the reps! Just like Ivan Zaytsev in this short clip. https://youtu.be/U0cFQfclAdk I am sure most people reading this would agree that what Ivan is doing is indeed reps. But I would like to ask the question: What is a repetition? This is a topic that I have pondered before on this blog (here and here). The reason I have pondered and continue to ponder the topic is that is increasingly clear to me that what we most often consider a repetition (see video above) is not a repetition in the sense of a meaningful activity with the goal of improving performance. It can be a confidence building activity. It can be a 'grooving' activity. It can be a mechanical activity. It can be a concentration activity. It can be a time consuming activity. All these activities are important and valuable when used appropriately. What most repetitions are not, is a meaningful activity with the goal of improving performance. Several articles that I have seen recently explore the idea of practice and repetitions. The first on Daniel Coyle's blog, talks about NFL player Odell Beckham Jnr and ex NBA player Steve Kerr. In it, he describes 'High Leverage Practice'. The title of the article proves the truism that to be a successful author you need to give things catchy names, if possible to things that already exist**. I would call what he describes analysing the requirements of the activity and devising specific practice for it. Very briefly, Beckham practices catching with one hand, as he would if he were being closely guarded and Kerr practiced coming of the bench and being effective by coming of the bench and shooting single shots, instead of shooting hundreds in a row. The Kerr drill is particularly interesting as the session described had him doing a very low number of repetitions. It is not the least bit surprising to me that he has taken this mentality (of thinking about things and not just doing what he was taught) into his coaching career. The second article is about NBA player Kyle Korver, one of the best current shooters, who also advocates shorter sessions and more specific repetitions over volume. In a team sport, full of open skills that require reading the play and responding to opponents, it is self evident to me that we do not need a high volume of repetitions. Instead we need an appropriate number of highly leveraged, ugly and specific repetitions. For example, we don't need to practice service reception with one player, we need to practice with multiple players on the whole court. And yes, not every player will receive the same number of balls. And yes, some player might not get a repetition for two or more minutes. But that is the way the game is, and practicing as if there game were different, doesn't help anyone.
** I may be doing someone a disservice here, but when I hear about 'train ugly', I think of exactly that.

Advice On Protective IP Rights
Patent Application /TM Registration
Enforcement Of IP Rights
Defence Against IP Rights Enforcement
Utility Model Law
Employees' Inventions
Design Law
Trademark and Product Piracy
Brexit: IP Transitional period extended until 31.12.2020
UK extends the transitional period for the automatic conversion of registered trademarks and designs of the European Union until 31.12.2020. The protection rights in trademark and also in design protection are therefore also secured after today's Brexit. Is there nevertheless a need for action?
The British IP Government has officially announced that the extension for the UK, which generally comes into force with tomorrow's brexite, will also apply to IP rights and their conversion. The "transition period" for the automatic conversion of European Union registered trademarks into compatible UK trademarks is extended until 31.12.2020.
Conversion to UK marks and UK designs
Because the UK offers a conversion to UK trademarks and UK designs for all who currently hold existing trademark and design protection rights. All registered trademarks of the European Union (EUTMs) are automatically converted into new and compatible UK trademarks, which are kept in a UK register.
RCDs are also automatically cloned and the existing registration is transformed into a so-called "re-registered UK design". For information on the most common non-registered designs, please read on HERE.
Trademark owners also have nine months to convert EU trademark applications into UK trademark applications. This was already announced by the UK IP Government in February 2019 – we reported in detail in our article Brexit: Trademark conversion from EU trademark to UK trademark presented.
It is important and friendly for all owners of European IP rights that the application data registered in the corresponding EUTM is used as well as the previous priority and/or seniority data.
Examples for the conversion into new UK register
The system provides for a numbering of the new UK marks, which is closely aligned with the numbering of the previous EUTM. The comparable UK stamp shall be assigned the number corresponding to the last 8 digits of the EUTM preceded by UK009.
EUTM No 000340513 = UK00900340513 as new compatible UK mark
European patents validated for UK
The brexit has no effect on European patents validated for the UK. This position is shared by both the European Patent Office and the UK government. The main reason is that the European Patent Organisation is an independent international organisation, not an EU institution. And the European patent in turn, contrary to what its name suggests, is not only valid to a limited extent for the EU member states, but for all 38 contracting states of the European Patent Convention (EPC; French Convention sur le brevet européen, CBE). The UK is also a member of the EPC.
When is there a need for action?
However, if a trademark owner has so far only registered a European trademark protection in the UK, he must take urgent action. Union trademarks which are currently only registered for the UK must be registered for a European country as well if the trademark owner wants to retain European protection. A non-use of a trademark in the EU can lead to a declaration of invalidity of previously existing trademark rights.
Anyone planning to register a trademark or design as a European or International Trademark with effect in the EU should note that the UK is no longer part of the EU. Applications for IP protection in the UK must be filed separately for the UK after the brexit, as with any other third country outside the EU or the EPO.
Many open questions after brexit
Nevertheless, there are still many open questions after the brexit, which depend on the further course of negotiations between the EU and the UK.
Resale of goods not clear
The rules for the resale of goods already sold have not been clarified. At present it is still open whether the United Kingdom would apply the exhaustion of rights only in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom or internationally. This is because EU law currently applies the principle of exhaustion to the first sale in the EEA with the consent of the RCD holder.
However, if the UK would leave both the EU and the EEA, the first sale in the UK would not exhaust the RCD. This would enable the RCD holder to prevent parallel imports from the UK into the EEA.
Jurisdiction after brexit
For all IP rights – as for all contractual areas with the UK – jurisdiction will remain problematic. The extent to which the UK has the political will to align its jurisdiction with that of the EU is completely open.
European Unified Patent Court
The European Uniform Patent and the European Unified Patent Court, on the other hand, are declared goals of the EU states and were also ratified by the UK in April 2018 – but this is still not in force. The German Office for the Protection of the Constitution is expected to decide on the pending constitutional complaint within the next few weeks. And the Committee for the Unified European Patent Court is also very confident that the UK will be a member.
However, if the UK participates in a future European Unification Court, the UK would have to be prepared to cede national sovereignty of interpretation of patent law to the EU – or the EU would have to grant the UK extensive autonomy. This is problematic. On the other hand, a European Unity Court is relatively pointless without the participation of the UK, as the target country of many patent applications is counted among the most important True Top 4 from the beginning and in all treaties.
It therefore requires a lot of political will on the part of the EU and the UK until the unified patent court comes into force with the participation of the UK.
Are there any questions for your IP rights or IP strategy after brexit?

The amount of iron ore handled by India's ports has more than doubled in the period between April 2016 and January 2017.
In a recent report by the Indian Ports Association, quoted by Economic Times, the country's 12 major ports handled 169% more iron ore cargo – a total of 38.61 million tonnes – in the April to January period compared to the same period the year previously, when just 14.37 million tonnes crossed the nation's docks.
The increase in tonnage can partially be explained by a resumption in production from India's top iron exporting state of Goa in the summer of 2015, led by Vedanta Resources (LON:VED), after an almost three-year hiatus.
Iron ore output contracted 9.4% every year between 2012 and 2016 following mining bans in Goa, Odisha and Karnataka, Economic Times points out. Those bans are no longer in place, meaning analysts are bullish on Indian iron ore production.
BMI Research said last month it projects output to increase to 185 MT in the next four years, from 136 MT in 2017.
The boost is not only due to the spike in the iron ore price, which reached a 30-month high on Feb. 20, but also a surge in global steel production.
World Steel Association data released in February showed a 7% jump in global steel output in January to 136.5 million tonnes.
World number three steel producer India recorded the biggest gain of the major producing countries, with output increasing by 12% year-on-year.

2016 just won't quit. For the world and me personally.
Three weeks ago it was the flu, and then the shingles, and last week while I was trapped with a bat in my childhood room at my parents house I knew 2016 was really going out with a bang.
You don't know fear until you're locked in an enclosed space with a flying vampire bird, in the middle of the night no less.
Harlow and I trembled under my covers as we heard its leathery wings flapping above us, its squeaky little mouth smacking together, daring us to come out.
But more on this story later. I've had enough bat encounters in my life to fill an entire blog. The Daily Tay Bat Stories. I'll start a new site for that one. The first post will be called "That time I kept a bat in my laundry hamper for three days before telling anyone." As a kid I used to think bats looked like tiny puppies with wings. As an adult, I no longer think this.
But let's move on to a different subject; like shingles.
If you had to choose, would you prefer your skin constantly itch and sting so bad you couldn't keep your hands off it, or have your skin in such a firey state of hell it felt like it was covered in acid?
Welcome to shingles! The firey hell was a cause of the capsaicin cream the doctor suggested I put on. It fights the itch with even more pain. So that was a learning experience.
If you don't know anything about shingles, consider yourself lucky. Prior to getting the nasty virus I certainly didn't. I just knew it sounded gross and like something you'd get in the 1800s, not 2016. Then again, it makes sense 2016 was the year to do it to me.
The shingles virus usually strikes the elderly. And it's painful. Very very painful.
It's slightly different for everyone, but this is how mine started. With itchies. All over my body. WTF is going on I wondered as it continued to happen night after night. It felt like I was being bit by something so I washed our sheets and our mattress cover three nights in a row. But it was clean as a whistle.
Dry skin? Sun burn? I'd just come back from Cabo, so both were possibilities. I continued to scratch my skin and didn't think it was worth seeing a doctor.
And then a little patch of bumps formed along my back on the lower right side. So I wasn't crazy! There was actually something there. I'm very lucky the bumps didn't spread, but unfortunately the pain did. Eventually it turned into shooting bursts of stinging pain that gave me goosebumps and made me curl over until it passed.
And then the flu came. Or so I thought? It's still up for the debate whether it was a stomach bug, the flu, or the shingles virus working its magic.
For five days after the long night of throwing up I continued to have a severe headache, random bursts of pain, and itching at night that was so bad I couldn't sleep – even with sleeping pills. (Lots of sleeping pills.) I decided to call a doctor after one day when I felt so faint in the middle of the afternoon I thought was going to… well faint.
As I sat in the waiting room I couldn't stop scratching. It was the height of the irritation. The bumps hadn't spread beyond the small spot on my back, yet the scratching and pain was all over my right side. It was unbearable.
The doctor confirmed it was shingles, and also that I was indeed an 88 year old woman, and sent me on my way with a lot of antibiotics.
The downfall was that I waited far too long to come in so it was up in the air whether the pills would work, at this point the virus would have to run its course. For some people that meant three weeks, for others three months… For some a year.
A YEAR. Shingles can cause permanent nerve damage if you don't treat it.
I was lucky and only had a few more days of pain to endure. I no longer feel the shooting bursts, the bumps are gone, and I rarely scratch. So all in all it lasted about three weeks.
And do you want to know who's to blame for all of this? Five year old me. The dirty little kid with the chicken pox.
If you've had chicken pox that means that the shingles virus is currently living inside of you already, just waiting to come out and ruin your life for a few weeks… How crazy is that?
It obviously doesn't strike everyone, stress and a low immune system can bring it out. And after you get it once, your chances of getting it again are more likely. HOW FUN!
Moral of the story, if you've ever got a case of the itchies and don't know why and it lasts for more than a night or two, RUN TO THE DOCTOR.
Or just get the shingles vaccine. Going forward, I'll plan to do both.
2017, please be kind to us. We could use a break.

I was having a rough day last year, and after the kids' fall festival, my hubby purchased me this awesome cookbook at their book fair, full of simple, fun, and magical recipes direct from the Disney Princesses themselves (I know, he's a keeper)!
The book is meant to be for kids, but let's be honest, I'm a big kid at heart, and cooking is something I do out of necessity, so THIS makes it a little more fun for all of us.
The recipes are easy to read and execute, plus the pictures engage my kiddos; did I mention it was adorable?! We've had our hand in preparing quite a few recipes so far, and then I had a lightbulb moment - why not document when we cook from the cookbook and share with all of you? It makes sense. I cook and eat, you enjoy the pictures (not of me eating). :) The intent is not to make you eat your computer screen, but really just share the newfound joy that I am having in the kitchen with the kids.
Cooking doesn't have to be straight up complex or Michelin Star quality; it can be fun, short and sweet. Now, if you love cooking, then do it. Rock it for the rest of us. But, for those of us that aren't exactly kitchen mavens, this is a simple book with a whole lot of magic. What matters most is that you're doing it for yourself and your family, and having fun, making memories.
Now, off to the kitchen we go! I've got a few recipes already scheduled to post, so check back, because moving forward, we will be sharing, at least once a week, a fun new recipe!

Using the developed sterilization tool can be used to inhibit the spread of Covid-19 viruses in the current pandemic situation. It can be used for medical offices, school/ campus, administrative offices, factory, and so on.
Herbs Based Anti-Cellulite Cream and The Production Process
Cellulite, more commonly known as orange-peel skin, is the formation of lumps and dimples in the skin. The underlying cause for cellulite is not clear. It has been attributed to the uneven distribution of accumulated fat cells that push up against fibrous connective cords in the skin, resulting in the skin dimpling. Cellulite affects 80 to 90 percent of women, primarily in the buttocks and thighs.
There have been many approaches to improve the appearance of cellulite. However, most of these treatments yield little satisfying results, especially on a long-term basis. The technology is a topical cream containing herbs such as Centella asiatica and zingiber for reducing the appearance of cellulite in women. This topical cream has been tested and proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite. The technology comprises the anti-cellulite material and its production process. The production involves nano-emulsion for each mixture of the individual anti-cellulite ingredients. Using nanotechnology helps to increase the effectiveness and bioactivity of these ingredient components, thereby enhancing its effects on cellulite reduction.
The technology provider is seeking collaboration opportunities with research institutes, universities, and industry players to increase product innovations in market niches within the cosmetics and beauty, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical sectors.
Fermented Monascus Rice to Reduce Its Toxic Citrinin
The mould Monascus purpureus fermented rice (ang-khak, hóng qū méi) has been used for centuries as food ingredients and traditional medicine. But the use of this comes with risk due to the presence of this toxin: nephrotoxic citrinin. This risk can be reduced to a safe level through co-culturing the selected Monascus and bacteria of Bacillus megaterium. Simultaneously this process produces a relatively higher bioactive compounds of pigment, lovastatin, and gamma aminobutyric. These compounds play an essential role in lowering blood cholesterol and maintain a good blood circulatory system. The institute would like to collaborate through joint research and development in product application, clinical trial, and licensing.

Q: Compare list of strings and string to find number of consecutive character matches Im sure this has been done before, but what Im really trying to do is have a method that finds consecutive matches of characters for one string, within a set of multiple strings, with any matches less than 1 character match, not counting. (minimum of 2).
if the string to test with was "xx Audible 5", the following would be the result

*

*Audible xxx-xxx-5051 NJ ----- Result:10 (matches 'Audible' and 'xx')

*yy Audible ----- Result:8 (Audible)

*Audible 5 xy  ----- Result:9 (spaces count, so match is Audible 5)

*Audible.com 5  ----- Result:7

A: Try this. This is not optimized but it works pretty well
static int FindMatch(string text, string pattern)
    {
        var total = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < pattern.Length; i++)
        {
            var max = 0;
            for (int j = 2; j <= pattern.Length - i; j++)
            {
                var temp = pattern.Substring(i, j);
                if (text.Contains(temp))
                    if (max < temp.Length)
                        max = temp.Length;
            }
            total += max;
            if (max > 0)
                i += max-1;
        }
        return total;
    }

*

*FindMatch("Audible xxx-xxx-5051 NJ", "xx Audible 5");  returns 10

*FindMatch("yy Audible", "xx Audible 5");  returns 8

*FindMatch("Audible 5 xy", "xx Audible 5");  returns 9

*FindMatch("Audible.com 5", "xx Audible 5");  returns 9 too and not 7 because as I understood in this example would fail space 5 " 5"

UPDATE: Sarah Hyland's lawyer, Lee A. Sherman of CTSC Law, confirmed to Us Weekly "on September 19, 2014, Ms. Hyland obtained a Domestic Violence Temporary Restraining Order against Matthew Prokop" and that the "documents filed speak for themselves."
Sarah Hyland has been granted a temporary restraining order against her ex-boyfriend Matthew Prokop, TMZ reports. According to the site, the Modern Family star claims Prokop, whom she dated for five years until splitting this past August, choked her and was abusive throughout their relationship.
TMZ reportedly obtained documents in which Hyland alleged that Prokop once pinned her against a car during an argument and verbally abused her, calling her a "c–t" and choking her. In the doc, Hyland reportedly said, "His grip was so tight that I could not breathe or speak. I was scared and in fear for my life."
Hyland also reportedly sought help from costar Julie Bowen, who plays her mom on the ABC hit comedy. The documents claim that Hyland asked Bowen to come over to her house to help "peacefully end the relationship." Upon arriving at the house, Prokop allegedly "ran outside into the backyard and began screaming" and threw a lighter at Hyland, threatening to burn her house down.
After calling off the relationship, Hyland claims Prokop "relentlessly bombarded [her] with vile, threatening and emotionally disturbing texts and voicemails including his own suicide threats."
The documents also note Prokop's stint in rehab last month and claim that the facility suggested Hyland get a restraining order due to his mental state. Find out more about the restraining order.
Following the split, Prokop posted a collage of photos of himself with Hyland via Instagram on Aug. 18 with the caption: "Farewell insta."
Hyland first met the actor while auditioning for High School Musical 3: Senior Year in 2008. They later starred together in Disney Channel's Original Movie Geek Charming in 2011.
Prokop's rep has yet to respond to Us Weekly's request for comment.

Fighting Fit
I AM 5ft 5in, weigh less than 10 stone and I don't like confrontation. Yet I am about to try out a self- defence technique practised by some of the world's toughest military men.
By Charlotte Vowden
00:00, Tue, Jul 7, 2009
PUMPED: Fighting to fitness
Krav Maga, which translates from Hebrew to "contact combat" is not for the faint- hearted. It is the official hand-to- hand combat system used by the Israeli Defence Forces and there are no rules. Students are taught to floor opponents in seconds.
"The system is influenced by boxing, karate, judo and wrestling," says John Aldcroft, chief instructor of the British Academy of Krav Maga.
"The Israeli army wanted to teach their troops a technique that was quick and easy to learn. They looked at each of these martial arts and took aspects of them that ensured their men left any situation alive," he explains.
Recently Krav Maga has made its way out of the military and into British gyms. This is why I am standing in a fitness studio in Ladbroke Grove, west London with John offering to show me some of its basic moves.
With one hand guarding his face he demonstrates how to throw the perfect punch. To make sure the hit is powerful he says I must move my whole body, not just my arms. "A strong punch comes from energy that builds up as you twist your body towards your target from your foot right through to your fist," he says. We practise this for a few minutes. My heart rate increases as I try to make my punches faster and more forceful and I start to gain more confidence.
"It is necessary for students to experience what it could be like if someone were to attack them," explains John. "I will take the role of the assailant and you must defend yourself against me."
John lunges towards me. I use one arm to stop him and the other to strike him. He repeats the movement getting faster and faster and I soon begin to tire.
"This is where speed and endurance comes in," he says. "Attacks are often erratic and multiple so you need to be able to stay sharp and get out of the way of your attacker quickly in order to prepare yourself for further threat."
My arms are aching and I'm beginning to lose concentration but I fight the urge to surrender. John shows me a self-defence technique that incorporates punching, kicking and kneeing the attacker. Despite my tiredness I'm enjoying myself.
Not only is Krav Maga physically demanding but it also involves being aware of my surroundings. I have to concentrate on what I am being shown, how it can help me in a difficult situation and how to carry the technique out properly. The more we practise the bigger my sense of achievement becomes.
Then it gets scary. John uses a series of fake weapons to demonstrate how an armed assailant makes a situation more dangerous. He shows me how the moves I have already learned can be adapted to deflect a knife as opposed to a fist. I give it my all. After almost two hours of training John decides to call it a day and as I stand there gasping for breath and with arms aching, I'm happy to oblige.
A s well as keeping yourself safe on the street Krav Maga is a great way to stay in shape. It burns up to 450 calories an hour which is equivalent to mountain biking or roller skating. The repetitive punching and kicking movements help to tone legs, arms and shoulders and improve your stamina.
"Being fit is crucial to defending yourself," John says. "It's one of the best workouts you can have. Your speed and reaction time will improve and you will be noticeably fitter after a few sessions. Muscles will gradually become stronger and your level of flexibility will improve."
Krav Maga is also a brilliant mood booster. "Students leave class feeling happier and more relaxed because the workout increases the amount of endorphins in the body," he says. "You don't have to be young and fit to enjoy it. Anybody can do it."
For more information visit www.krav-maga.org.uk. To contact John Aldcroft call 07961 090 218. Group classes cost between £40-80 per month, depending on frequency.

Snowpiercer (2014)
Joyeux Noël (Merry Christmas) (2006)
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011)
Internet Movie Database (IMDB)
110 min. Universal Focus. Director: Stephen Daldry. Cast: Jamie Bell, Jean Heywood, Jamie Draven, Gary Lewis, Stuart Wells.
Following on the heels of British stage director Sam Mendes (now an Oscar-winning film director of American Beauty), British stage director Stephen Daldry offers up his debut feature Billy Elliot, and Oscar talk is more than mere hype. This picture could easily secure the same "wild card" slot that The Full Monty did two years ago. Like that British working class comedy, Elliot blends pathos and laughs in developing a story of ordinary people seeking an artistic release through dance. Both, as such, are formulaic, but Elliot manages to avoid easy criticisms with its strong leading performances, vibrant cinematography, and clever editing.
Jamie Bell plays the title character, a son and younger brother to two miners on strike in northern England in 1984. His father, well played by Gary Lewis, suffers not only the pressures of the strike, but those of single fatherhood, following the death of his wife. Jamie Draven rounds out the family as Billy's tense and radical-minded brother Tony. All are fine, but this movie simply would not work without a performance as brilliantly engaging and plausible as the one Jamie Bell gives here. His raw energy translates to impressive dance sequences, which have enough flaws to suspend disbelief. The second-most-valuable player, Julie Walters, plays the chain-smoking dance instructor, and makes a clichéd role appear effortlessly real.
Billy has a gay friend named Michael (Stuart Wells), who serves as a fulcrum for the gender issues of the story (is Billy a sissy because he likes to dance?). Daldry mostly plays it safe and gay-friendly, though the fact that Michael cross-dresses seems unnecessary in a movie that purports to bust stereotypes.
Daldry takes any active sequence as an opportunity for showing the rhythm of daily existence, so we get subtle (Billy making breakfast) to not so subtle (Tony running from the cops set to the Clash's "London Calling") movement pieces, as well as full-on dance numbers, which truly advance the plot. Daldry never lets his grip slip enough that the audience can take a step back, so sequences that might seem silly in the light of day (like Billy's danced message to his father) pack an emotional wallop in context. As calculated an effort as it may be, Billy Elliot succeeds as an art-house and popular cinema crossover.

State launches campaign to get more Mainers covered by health insurance
The CoverME campaign includes a website and advertising campaign designed to promote both MaineCare expansion and the upcoming open enrollment period for private plans under the Affordable Care Act.
By Eric RussellPortland Press Herald
Maine Gov. Janet Mills on Friday announced a new statewide campaign to promote health insurance options both through MaineCare, which her administration expanded her first day in office, and the federal exchange created by the Affordable Care Act.
The CoverME campaign will feature digital and television ads and a website, CoverME.gov, that has resources for consumers and small businesses.
"Health care saves lives. That is why one of my administration's top priorities is to ensure that Maine families, small businesses, and self-employed people have access to high-quality, affordable health care," Mills said in a statement. "While we have made significant progress by expanding MaineCare to more than 38,000 people, protecting health care for people with pre-existing conditions, passing legislation to reduce prescription drug costs, and supporting treatment to combat the opioid epidemic, we can do more."
The governor's office referenced recent U.S. Census data that shows 27.5 million Americans lacked health insurance in 2018, including 106,000 people in Maine, or 8 percent of the state's population.
Maine residents are eligible for insurance through MaineCare, the state's version of Medicaid, if their annual income is less than $17,236 for a single person or $29,435 for a family of three. Those with incomes above the MaineCare threshold but less than $49,960 for a single person or than $85,320 for a family of three may be eligible for subsidized insurance plans on HealthCare.gov. Open enrollment for 2020 runs from Nov. 1 through Dec. 15. MaineCare enrollment is open year-round.
The CoverME campaign is funded by a $750,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the nation's largest philanthropic organization devoted to public health.

Discover Singapore's History Through Its Roads: Cuppage Road & Koek Road
Cuppage Road, and its other roads with similar namesake such as Cuppage Terrace, can be found just off Orchard Road. These series of roads are named after William Cuppage who lived from 1807 to 1872.
Origins of Cuppage Road
According to Genealogy.com, William Cuppage was born in August 1807 in Agra, India. He was married to Sarah Bradshaw on 17 December 1840.
William Cuppage worked at the post office, starting off as a postal clerk before rising through the ranks. William was eventually appointed as the Acting Post Master General in 1856. He finally retired in 1871 and died a year later.
In the area which is now Emerald Hill, he operated a large nutmeg plantation. He lived on the hill in a house called Fern Cottage, moving in during the 1850s. He also built a second house there called Erin Lodge.
However, in the 1860s, the plantation started to fail due to disease carried by beetles which killed nutmeg trees.
After his death, the Cuppage plantation was left to his daughter before it was sold to his son-in-law Edwin Koek, who was a lawyer. There was another attempt to revive the plantation but this was not successful.
The land passed hands several more times.
Eventually, Fern Cottage, William Cuppage's residence was demolished in 1906 to make way for terrace houses. Many of the rebuilt buildings came to be occupied by Peranakans and the area was known to be a Peranakan enclave.
The original Singapore Chinese Girls School was also located Emerald Hill, taking over the land where Koek had built a house called Claregrove.
In 1985, the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore announced that Emerald Hill would be a conservation area because of the Straits Chinese shophouses.
Cuppage Road and Koek Road
Cuppage Road and Cuppage Terrace remain as a testament to a time when the area was once a plantation and the postmaster who was also a plantation owner.
The next road after Cuppage Road is Koek Road.
William Cuppage's gravestone can be found in the northeast corner of Fort Canning Green, where it was relocated to from Bukit Timah Cemetery. The simple inscription on it reads "Thy Will Be Done".

Q: Mysql compare two tables and match some of the columns value and extract data It seems tricky for me to do but here it is. I got two tables named xp_guru_properties and xp_pn_resale. In the xp_pn_resale table, I got colums block and type and in the table xp_guru_properties I got a column property_name and json. I want to match the two columns and get the specific data in the column json from xp_guru_properties. Here are some sample data in order for you to not get confused
xp_pn_resale

xp_guru_properties, This time I searched one data referring to xp_pn_resale table

the json field in table
{
  "id": 8174,
  "typeCode": "HDB",
  "name": "111 Lengkong Tiga",
  "newLaunch": false,
  "description": "111 Lengkong Tiga",
  "totalUnits": null,
  "floors": 0,
  "topMonth": null,
  "topYear": 1988,
  "tenure": "L99",
  "coverImageId": 3196890,
  "districtCode": "D14",
  "postcode": "410111",
  "streetname": "Lengkong Tiga",
  "streetname2": null,
  "streetnumber": "111",
  "longitude": 103.9114385,
  "latitude": 1.324030239,

}

I just want to get or extract the postcode from json whenever I got a match from xp_resale to guru_properties table. Like I want to match 111 Lengkong Tega from two tables then I should get postcode: 410111. But it seems hard because I need to concat the block and street_name from xp_resale to match the property_name from guru_properties. Can somebody got any idea? Thanks in advance. Badly need help.

A: You seem to want a join and a json extraction:
select json_extract(g.json, '$.postcode') postcode
from xp_pn_resale p
inner join xp_guru_properties g
    on g.property_name = concat(p.block, ' ', p.street_name)

json_extract(g.json, '$.postcode') can also be written: g.json->'$.postcode'.

Based upon the 2009 web series of the same name, Fear Clinic tells the story of five people with phobias seeking treatment from the bizarre Dr. Andover. (played by the brilliant Robert Englund). Andover's extreme methods involve immersing his patients in nightmarish dream worlds (sound familiar?), forcing them to confront and overcome their fears.
With Robert Englund involved, it's unsurprising that Fear Clinic looks to be a little crazy even by general horror standards; certainly crazy enough to attract Slipknot and Stone Sour vocalist Corey Taylor to join the cast.
Release date: Out now on iTunes and Xbox, Blu-ray, DVD and VOD on February 10th.
Trailer Roundup: January 2015
By Ross Wildish - 2nd February 2015
Fear Clinic
Digging Up The Marrow
This trailer for Digging Up The Marrow is somewhat uninspiring, but there are teases of what might possibly be a really interesting film.
Director, writer and actor Adam Green is also known for his work on the Hatchet series, as well as Frozen (no, not that one), while Ray Wise has of course appeared in dozens of feature films over the past few decades. With such talent behind Digging Up The Marrow, there's a hint that there may be something more under the surface here.
Release date: February 20th (limited online release)
Ejecta
There have been a slew of alien invasion/abduction films in recent years following 2009's The Fourth Kind, which somewhat revitalised the genre. Ejecta features veteran stage and film actor Julian Richings, who himself is no stranger to horror and science fiction after appearing in films such as Cube and Wrong Turn.
Unfortunately, this trailer does nothing to set itself apart from the competition, apart from perhaps taking itself too seriously. Perhaps Richings can save this movie, perhaps not.
Release date: Out now on DVD
Out of the Dark
Scary children are a staple of horrors nowadays, probably because children are horrible little monsters - so they fit right in.
Out of the Dark promises an army of creepy little Freddy Kruegers bothering a family who have just moved to Colombia for the mother's new job. Perfect house, perfect family, perfect job – cue supernatural shenanigans.
Release date: Feb 27th (limited U.S release)

Of course, there will be water in the fat and quite a bit is used when they metabolize the fat. When the fat in their humps is used up, they'll shrink down and get all floppy.
They can go up to 8 weeks without water in winter. One of the tricks camels picked up in order to not use the water in their bodies as often is infrequent urination. They can sometimes even recycle the urine instead of expelling it and, when they do, it's concentrated. Lovely, no, interesting, sort of.

Man United to play Leeds in pre-season Australia match
Pic: Reuters
Published Wednesday, November 21, 2018
Manchester United announced on Tuesday they will take on English rivals Leeds in Australia next year as part of their preparations for the 2019-20 season.
The two clubs have only met twice in the past decade, with Leeds clinching a famous win in the 2009-10 FA Cup before United triumphed in the League Cup in September 2011.
United confirmed their first two fixtures of their 2019 tour schedule will be against A-League team Perth Glory on July 13 before they take on Leeds in the city four days later.
"Our pre-season tour is an integral part of the squad's preparation for the forthcoming season," said United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
"After what will be a 44-year absence since we last played in Perth we are delighted to be returning to Western Australia to play not just one, but two games - against Perth Glory and Leeds United.
"As well as preparing for the season ahead, the club will also have the opportunity to engage with our loyal fans in Australia, who last got the chance to see us play in Sydney in 2013."
Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds are currently third in the second-tier Championship while Jose Mourinho's Manchester United are struggling in eighth place in the Premier League


I recently spent a weekend in Portland, Maine with friends. We planned to hit up a few local breweries. As I have mentioned, weather in New England can be fickle this time of year. I wanted to be comfortable and warm. I picked up this oversized sweater with this weekend in mind and it was the perfect weight.
On a completely separate note, to whomever reads this silly little blog; if you can, make time to spend with your girlfriends. The girls I went away with this weekend have been my best friends since most of us were 10 years old (a few even younger then that!). So many laughs, so lunch love and support for one another, truly surrounding ourselves with so much good energy. Make the time, it's important. Okay, rant over 🙂 love you girls!!!
I am so pale! Get this girl some vitamin D!
