If you drive your Affiliate Marketing business by PPC (pay-per-click) you are at the mercy of AdWords and it's imperative that it deliver the best results possible. You can hardly spend enough time perfecting and testing your ad copy to generate the best results.
So when I saw an article by Chris Kent on SearchEngineJournal.com called "Ten Golden Rules of Google AdWords," I had to share some of it.
1. Always install conversion tracking. The more metrics you have the better able you will be to determine what worked and what didn't with your campaigns.
2. Don't overbid, even if you have the money. Kent provides an equation that he follows to determine the maximum amount he should bid. It goes like this: Client value is defined as the typical amount you can expect to make off the customer.
(Client Value x (1 - Desired profit margin as a percent) x landing page conversion rate.
3. Add negative keywords which will make it clear what keywords you are unwilling to pay for.
4. Check your AdWords account at least once a day to make sure it's operating smoothly.
5. Always have a clear call to action. I've always said no matter what type of advertising you are doing; make sure it's clear what you want the customer to do. PPC is no different.
6. Extensions are good…and not just in your hair. Add extensions to you ads to make them work harder. It's will fit in with what Google is trying to do.
If you're PPC, then AdWords is your oxygen. Anything you can do to improve its performance can make a huge difference.


This weekend, "Jurassic Park" celebrates its 20th anniversary with a 3D re-release likely to captivate and terrify audiences just as it did in 1993. During the development of the film "Jurassic Park," director Steven Spielberg enlisted the team at Stan Winston Studio to design and build many of the realistic-looking dinosaurs seen in the movie.
Surprisingly, "Jurassic Park" contains only 15 total minutes of dinosaur footage, and 9 minutes of those are purely the work of Stan Winston Studio. Winston, who died in 2008, was instrumental in many blockbusters, winning Academy Awards for best visual effects in "Aliens," "Terminator 2: Judgement Day," and "Jurassic Park." We look at a few special behind-the-scenes images and videos captured while Winston's studio created the Tyrannosaurus rex, Brachiosaurus, Velociraptor, and Dilophosaurus.
According to the Stan Winston School blog, Spielberg courted Winston to do a large portion of the "Jurassic Park" special effects after his work on the alien queen in "Aliens."
"Steven figured that if we could build a 14-foot-tall alien queen, we'd be able to build a 20-foot-tall T.rex," Winston said at the time. "But that was a somewhat naive assumption on Steven's part. There was a big difference between building that alien queen and building a full-size dinosaur. The queen was exoskeletal, so all of its surfaces were hard. There were no muscles, no flesh, and there was no real weight to it. The alien queen also didn't have to look like a real, organic animal because it was a fictional character -- so there was nothing in real life to compare it to. There was just no comparison in the difficulty level of building that alien queen and building a full-size dinosaur."
When Spielberg asked Winston if he wanted the job, Winston recalled saying, "Yes, absolutely." Spielberg said, "How are you going to do it?" Winston replied, "I haven't got a clue. But we'll figure it out."
This image shows the framework of an early pre-production one-fifth-scale T.rex sculpting stand. After applying clay to achieve the desired form, the model serves as a reference during sculpting a full-size puppet. Animators at Industrial Light and Magic also scan the model and embed that likeness into digital shots.
Mike Trcic, a "Jurassic Park" sculptor, adds final changes to the one-fifth scale T.rex clay model.
To create a realistic 20-foot tall and 40-foot wide T.rex, animatronic gurus Richard Davison and Alan Scott attach plywood segments to an aluminum frame. From there, workers will apply a layer of chicken wire, seal everything with liquid fiberglass, and then apply 3 tons of Roma clay.
After a generous application of clay, the T.rex model becomes much more recognizable. Trcic, who spent 16 weeks sculpting various iterations of the enormous dinosaur, adds some finer elements to the T.rex visage.
"Before we ever got to mechanizing the dinosaurs, their look was tweaked and re-tweaked," artist Paul Mejias said. "I remember Stan and sculptor Mike Trcic spending tons of time on the T.rex head, for example. There were 13 different permutations of that head in maquette form, because Stan wanted something very specific, and he wasn't going to stop until he got it. He did that on all the dinosaurs. They had to be right, no matter what it took, no matter how much it cost, no matter how many people he had to hire. They had to be perfect."
Artist Greg Figiel compares the one-fifth-scale scale T.rex arm to the full-size model.
You can truly get a feel for the epic size of the full-size T.rex model -- the largest ever made in the history of Stan Winston Studio -- as it stands near its one-fifth-scale equivalent.
Artist Mark "Crash" McCreery's early rendering of a "Jurassic Park" Brachiosaurus.
A four-axis jaw enabled the Brachiosaurus to look more real as it chewed on fauna in "Jurassic Park."
"Stan Winston wanted the Brach to appear to be as docile as possible, so one of the things that a four-axis jaw gives you is that sort of orbital movement of the lower jaw grinding side to side which is reminiscent of a cow chewing its cud," said Andy Schoneberg, the lead artist for the vegetarian dinosaur.
Here's an image of the finished Brachiosaurus puppet awaiting its on-set debut. "I think there were six of us altogether puppeteering on the Brach," said lead artist Andy Schoneberg. "There was someone on the eyes, someone on the tongue, I was on the jaw movement. There's someone on the lips. And the big move was the neck movement. There was head movement but there was also neck movement where the whole thing could pitch forward and back."
You can observe more of the dinosaur in the rehearsal video below.
Legendary special-effects master Stan Winston marvels at the 7.5-foot-tall Brachiosaurus puppet on the set of "Jurassic Park."
The fearsome "Jurassic Park" Velociraptor originated in a one-fifth-scale model created by artist Christopher Swift.
Stan Winston Studios chose supervisor John Rosengrant as the lead performer for the raptor suit. Artists sculpted the raptor around a body cast of Rosengrant.
Throughout production, Rosengrant often stayed in the dinosaur suit for hours at a time, hunched over in a skiing pose.
A worker at the studio makes some adjustments to the raptor's gums and teeth.
The raptor suit comes together as artist Beth Hathway adjusts the foam latex skin.
Stan Winston Studio created many raptors for "Jurassic Park," with variations that included full-size cable-controlled puppets, half-puppets, insert legs, and men in suits. This image shows a final version of the suit. Rosengrant speaks more about how the iconic special-effects studio created the raptor in the following video.
Artist Mark "Crash" McCreery's conceptual drawing of Dilophosaurus (aka Spitter) perfectly captures the curiosity of the beast seen in "Jurassic Park."
After the Stan Winston Studio reached a middle ground with the conceptual drawings, Shane Mahan sculpted a full-size Dilophosaurus.
This image shows Shane Mahan adding finer details to the peculiar face of the Spitter.
This rendition became the primary color scheme used for the Dilophosaurus' cowl.
Shane Mahan works on the final Spitter puppet that audiences see in "Jurassic Park." The Stan Winston Studio used a system of interchangeable heads for the dinosaur to make scene transition easier. The Dilophosaurus' infamous projectile poison spit comes from a paintball mechanism that blasted out a mixture of methacyl, K-Y Jelly, and some food coloring.
In several feature-length blog posts, Stan Winston School of Character Arts reflects further on the making of the T.rex, Velociraptors, Brachiosaurus, and Dilophosaurus (aka Spitter).

Partnering for Shea Production in Africa
Rukaya Amidu demonstrates the labor of producing shea butter in Ghana.
Increased trade in shea products, benefiting the economies of many African nations, will be the result of a $13 million, five-year agreement signed this month in Accra.
The shea [shee] tree is a traditional African food plant. Today it has many commercial uses. Increased trade in shea products, benefiting the economies of many African nations, will be the result of a $13 million, five-year agreement signed this month in Accra, Ghana between the Global Shea Alliance, or GSA, and the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, to promote shea markets worldwide and improve sustainable production in Africa.
"The shea industry is changing and companies, governments, and donors are investing more in sustainable production and improving the benefit to 16,000,000 women collectors and processors," says Moumouni Konate, President of the Global Shea Alliance. "The goal of this critical partnership is to help women collectors and processors organize into cooperatives, obtain equipment and training, and improve the financial benefit from the sale of their products. Stronger and more profitable women's groups will process more shea, improve quality, and protect the trees."
During the Global Shea Alliance's annual conference in Accra, Ghana, USAID/West Africa Mission Director Alex Deprez said, "We know well the benefits of increased trade for rural communities across Africa."
The partnership will match up to $6.5 million in USAID funds with $6.5 million in private sector funding raised by the GSA to implement promotional and sustainability activities in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Mali, and Nigeria.
These activities include launching research projects to improve shea tree planting materials; supporting tree planting campaigns and improved management of parklands; launching resource conservation projects to reduce wood and water use; hosting annual conferences and exhibitions in Africa, the United States, and the European Union; constructing 250 warehouses; health and safety initiatives; improving financial benefits by 50 percent; and providing capacity building and trainings for 137,500 women shea collectors and processors; and a variety of other international engagements to grow shea markets worldwide.
"The GSA is pioneering efforts to grow markets and improve the livelihoods of rural women and their families that stand at the base of the shea value chain," said USAID/West Africa Mission Director Deprez. "We are proud to partner in these activities."

Players Land Huge Jackpots at Dunder and Casumo Casinos
August 30, 2017 - CasinoBloke
Generous and reliable casinos such as Dunder and Casumo are no strangers to paying out massive rewards to their most fortunate players. In recent online gambling
In recent online gambling developments, there have been several big jackpot hits at both Dunder Casino and Casumo Casino. Surely you want to know more about them, so we'll march straight to the point.
Norwegian Player Wins €302,000 at Dunder
The big win happened at Dunder online casino last week. A player placing bets from Norway on the new Mystery Fruit slot developed by Red Tiger Gaming never dreamed of hitting it big, but it happened!
One lucky spin, and the fortunate winner observed in disbelief how his casino balance grows bigger for a staggering amount of 2.8M NOK (€302k). His happiness was real and justified, as he just received a small fortune. At first, it was a surprise, but it didn't take long for the Lucky Norwegian to start planning how to spend the money.
Eventually, he decided to buy a luxurious present for his wife and go on a family holiday, and there will even be enough left for painting the house and paying off the car. Take your chances at Duder and you can share the winner's luck!
Mega Fortune Dreams Strikes Again at Casumo
Things went from good to great at Casumo Casino when a lady from the UK triggered the jackpot on NetEnt's desktop version of Mega Fortune Dreams slot. The lucky win happened on Friday, 17th of August, making Susan a multi-millionaire. The story gets even more interesting – apparently, she only had £9 left on her account before she hit the chief prize. In a pure demonstration of
The story gets even more interesting – apparently, she only had £9 left in her account before she hit the main prize. In a pure demonstration of courage, she wagered £3, clicked on the Spin button and won £2.7 million! As most players in those situations, Susan was baffled and couldn't believe her eyes. She later confessed that her partner commented how the win couldn't be real. But it sure was! The woman stated that she'd like to use the money to buy a bigger home and fulfil her dream of a roomy house. The next thing would be a big party for her 60th birthday.
Casumo.com has proven to be a very attractive location for players hungry for massive wins lately. In a period of fewer than five months, Susan is the third player to win a jackpot prize of more than one million. During 2017 alone, Casino paid out nearly £10 million in jackpots! In March, there was a £3 million payout on a £2.50 bet on Mega Fortune. The next one came in April – a €4.2 million win on a €1 bet on Mega Fortune Dreams. The last one was scooped on the same slot machine by Susan. Casumo users seem to have initiated a lucky streak, and the best thing about it is that there are multiple possibilities to prolong it.
As of 25th of August players can scoop up €2.3 million on Mega Fortune, €2.6 million if they play Hall of Gods and the same amount on Arabian Nights. So, there are three more huge progressive jackpots up for grabs, and there's no way of knowing for how much longer. The way we see it, this is the perfect timing to visit Casumo Casino!

UFCW on Haggen, Conner on China, Larsen on TPP…
► In today's News Tribune — Union monitors L.A. auction of Haggen stores — "Representatives from UFCW locals and our international union are at the auction for the 95 Haggen stores taking place this week," said the letter to members from UFCW Local 21 officials. "We are strongly presenting our position that these stores need to be bought by responsible store owners to ensure that our members can continue to provide for their families and give customers the great service that they expect."
EDITOR'S NOTE — Read the whole UFCW 21 message here, which includes the list of "core" local stores that have ben added to the auction.
► In today's Bellingham Herald — Bids exceed expectations for Haggen stores — Haggen stores far exceeded many initial bids in a "spirited auction" this week at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles that saw the grocer offered roughly $5 million more than originally proposed, according to lawyers who attended.
► From The Stranger — Can Seattle launch a movement for a new kind of workers' union? — This city is a national leader in trying to make Uber and Lyft negotiate working conditions with their drivers. Which raises a question: In the new "on-demand" economy, what form would a unionized workforce take?
► A related story in today's Wall St. Journal — On-demand workers need 'portable benefits,' tech and labor leaders say — The group called for new protections for contract workers — such as workers' compensation and sick leave — that would provide a safety net if they get sick, injured or retire. With as many as 53 million Americans now self-employed, the letter states that benefits "have not kept pace with the rapid changes in the economy."
► In the P.S. Business Journal — Ray Conner: To beat Chinese competition, Boeing must be 'better' — Boeing's strategy is to make sure it can compete with the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China: "What we have to do, we have to anticipate they're going to be there," Conner said. "We have to anticipate they're going to be there with a product that is going to be competitive, both from the standpoint of performance and from the standpoint of price. And therefore we have to keep pushing ourselves to be better in every single way."
EDITOR'S NOTE — Boeing recently announced the it is opening a jet completion center in China, where it will train Chinese workers to install interiors, apply exterior paint, conduct flight tests and deliver 737s built at Boeing's Renton plant. (All work that is done now by Machinists Union members.) It doesn't sound the plan is to beat them, it's to join them.
► From PubliCola — Once again, Democrats will turn to courts to challenge successful Eyman initiative — The legal challenge will likely come in three different arguments. One is that I-1366 violates the "single-subject rule." Washington law requires that bills and initiatives affect strictly one unified subject; state Sen. Jamie Pedersen (D-Seattle) says the unruly I-1366 mixes a tax decrease with a constitutional amendment. The second challenge would be a procedural argument that amendments can't be approved by initiative. And the third, I-1366 gets in the way of the Legislature fulfilling the court mandate in McCleary that the legislature fully fund education; that be pretty difficult with a $10 billion shortfall over the next 10 years.
► In the (Everett) Herald — Rep. Larsen seeks input on TPP trade pact — Congressman Rick Larsen is doing something this week his congressional colleagues from Washington and around the country are not. He's talking about the TPP and asking constituents for their opinion on it at town halls. On Saturday, the Everett Democrat will be at the Lynnwood High School theater at 9:30 a.m. and at the Clinton Community Hall at 2 p.m. Each event is slated to last 90 minutes.
ALSO at The Stand — Recess! Tell your Rep. what you think about the TPP
► In today's Bellingham Herald — Dislikes TPP (letter to the editor from one of Larsen's constituents) — The TPP reads a lot like the old deals — bad for working people, bad for food safety, bad for our access to affordable life-saving medicines, bad for our Internet access, overriding local laws, derailing climate talks, privatizing everything. Rep. Larsen is holding a town hall meeting on Friday, Nov. 13, 5:30 – 7 p.m. at Bellingham City Hall. Let your voice be heard. There is not much time left.
► From Vox — What the most controversial part of Obama's trade deal really does — The most controversial part of the TPP carries a deceptively dull name: investor-state dispute settlement, or ISDS. It creates what is, in essence, an alternative judicial system where foreign investors can argue that they're receiving unfair treatment — and have the argument decided by an international tribunal rather than a local judge… The reason ISDS is so controversial is because it's a miniature, and more outrage-friendly, version of the broader argument over the TPP itself — the question it raises is whether multinational corporations already have too much power, and whether rules meant to make their expansion smoother and their lives easier are really a good idea.
► From Huffington Post — Why the TPP is too flawed for a 'yes' vote in Congress (by Jeffrey Sachs) — Perhaps most disappointing is the lack of creativity in the development, labor and environmental chapters. Yes, they rhetorically defend global economic development, labor standards and environmental sustainability, but they do so without specific enforcement powers. Why is it that companies can force arbitration tribunals to defend their investor rights, but workers have no such power? Why is climate change not even considered in the draft, despite the fact that it represents the most important environmental threat of the 21st century, and may have strong implications for future trade rules?
► In the Seattle Times — Congress should pass the Save Benefits Act to help seniors and veterans (editorial) — In October, the federal government announced there would be no cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security recipients. U.S. Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell have come up with a one-time fix that merits bipartisan support.
ALSO at The Stand — Sens. Murray, Cantwell propose to boost Social Security
► From The Hill — Talk grows of repealing ACA 'Cadillac tax' — Top senators from both parties say they see momentum building to repeal the "Cadillac tax" on high-end health plans, though they still have major questions about how to pay for it and what the negotiations would look like… Any bill to repeal or change the tax would likely require Democrats to concede on other unpopular parts of the ACA, such as agreeing to the repeal of the medical device tax.
► From The Hill — Sanders lands key postal workers union endorsement — The American Postal Workers Union endorsed Bernie Sanders for president on Thursday, giving the Vermont Senator an influential ally as he scraps to keep pace with Hillary Clinton in the race for labor support. APWU president Mark Dimondstein called Sanders a "true champion" for union rights and said his members will back the Vermont Senator because they're tired of the status quo: "Politics as usual has not worked. It's time for a political revolution."
► From The Hill — Poll: Clinton now up 19 points nationally — Clinton leads Sanders by 19 points, 52 to 33 percent, among Democratic primary voters, according to the New York Times/CBS News survey released early Thursday.
► From The Hill — Trump doubles down on debate claim: 'Wages are too high' — Donald Trump on Wednesday doubled down on his argument that American wages are "too high" after making a similar claim during Tuesday night's GOP presidential debate.
► From AP — Trump touts program with dark history as deportation model — As proof that he can successfully and humanely deport the estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally, Republican presidential contender Donald Trump often touts the efforts of the Eisenhower administration in the 1950s. But the program to which Trump refers, known as "Operation Wetback," was a complicated undertaking largely viewed by historians as a dark moment in America's past.
► From Al Jazeera America — Students across U.S. to march over debt, free public college — Students were set to walk out of classrooms across the United States on Thursday to protest ballooning student loan debt for higher education and rally for tuition-free public colleges and a minimum wage hike for campus workers.
► From Vice — McDonalds gives its shareholders $30 billion as its workers protest for $15 an hour — During a McDonald's investor meeting on Tuesday, the company parsed the results of its new all-day breakfast initiative and heard from CEO Steve Easterbrook about the bright future of the fast-food market. The burger joint is trumpeting a big recovery. Its shares have been trading at record highs for the past month, and by the end of the meeting Easterbrook announced that the company would pay out $30 billion in dividends to shareholders — a healthy bump from the previous year. Meanwhile, in cities across the country, thousands of fast-food and service industry workers walked off the job to demand that McDonald's and other fast food operators start paying a living wage of $15 an hour.

Tomorrow my boyfriend Karl is taking me away to Edinburgh for three days as one of my Christmas presents and I cannot wait. Even though I live in the North East of England so Edinburgh is only about a 2/3 hour drive away I've never been to Scotland so I'm looking forward to going (as well as doing a bit of shopping of course!). So this is just a quick post to show you a few of the essentials I'll be taking with me. I'm by no means a light packer and with the amount of extra things I'll be coming back with I'll need some extra space in my luggage (when I visited London last year it was very difficult navigating through the underground on the way home with six bags and a life size sword of Gryffindor) so this really is a quick snippet. I'll also be taking my trusty Nikon as well as my cute little Diana Mini Lomography camera. I bought myself the Diana last year as a little treat and I'm yet to get any of my films developed and it really is something I must get round to!
I mainly wanted to show you all the most adorable little journal that arrived a few days ago - the one line a day for five years book. It really is what the title says; every day for five years you write a couple of sentences about the day so you end up with a kind of mini journal. I'm really bad at keeping full size journals even though I'd love to have one so this is perfect for me. It is the cutest little book I've ever seen and I can't wait until it starts to fill up.
As I go tomorrow I won't be posting for a few days so I hope you all have a great week!
gorgeous pictures, such a cute journal!
diana cameras are really cute, i have a little blue holga :) love your fluffy hooded jacket too looks so warm !

That journal is super cute! I love the colour! Hope you will have a good time in Edinburgh with your boyfriend!
I can't wait! I will probably post a few photos if I manage to take some good ones!
Oh I'm really looking forward to it! I think we're going to go to the dungeons so it's nice to hear they're good!
esa agenda es preciosa! me encanta!
That journal is such a cool idea! I absolutely love it. I think I should get one. Thanks for showing it!
Oh these photos are so so pretty! I love the look of that notebook, I have a real obsession with pretty stationary.
Ahh I am jealous that you are going to Edinburgh, it is one of my favourite places!
I almost bought the One Line a Day book recently! It is just so darling isn't it? I love your photos!
That's such a good idea! Will be buying that book!
Your blog is sooo cute! Love this post and your photography is stunning!
I saw that dairy in a book store and thought it was really cute. Enjoy ur trip!
Love the journal! I hope you're having a great time. I've never been to Edinburg, but it's said to be wonderful.
Have a lovely time in Edinburgh - I really want to go myself!


The New Balance 99X was created in 1980 when the first model of the line became available for sale.
The next model – 996 – was dedicated to professional tennis player and was presented in 1989. Perceived as the premium product, the model was characterised by high quality of execution and the best materials. This status motivated regular users to become interested in the model as well. Even now the 996 is used in establishing collaborations. It also inspired the premium versions: USA and Made in England.


6and all flesh shall see the salvation of God."
7He said therefore to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8Bear fruits that befit repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. 9Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
10And the multitudes asked him, "What then shall we do?" 11And he answered them, "He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise." 12Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?" 13And he said to them, "Collect no more than is appointed you." 14Soldiers also asked him, "And we, what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Rob no one by violence or by false accusation, and be content with your wages."
15As the people were in expectation, and all men questioned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he were the Christ, 16John answered them all, "I baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 17His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."
18So, with many other exhortations, he preached good news to the people. 19But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Hero'di-as, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done, 20added this to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

Thanks to Betsy Sergeant Snow for InMenlo's New Banner!
If you're been watching closely, you may have noticed a change over the weekend on InMenlo! We're using a new header banner at the top of each page. Frankly, we were getting tired of the old one and were looking for a new one that would be brighter and fresher.
In the process, we explored the InMenlo photo group on Flickr and noticed this great photo by Betsy Sergeant Snow. With her permission, we flipped it around (since the tree needed to be on the right – not the left – side of the page) and then stretched out the background to fill the top of the page.
Hope you like the result – and be sure to checkout Betsy's snowfoto.com website where you can learn more about her photography. Her day job is teaching English and Journalism to the great students at Menlo-Atherton High School!
Have you got any great photos of Menlo Park to share? Please share them with us on the InMenlo photo pool on Flickr – or email them to me and I'll share them.

Lines of Resistance
Culture and Creativity Research Institute
Art and Design Research Centre
7m 22s. The Berlin Wall Memorial
Lines of Resistance is filmed at the Berlin Wall Memorial, a preserved and sealed section of the former wall and death strip which divided East and West Berlin during the Cold War. The memorial remains to memorialise those who died trying to get from the Eastern sector to the Western sector and provides a history of the wall and its consequences.
The film, informed by the narration of tour guides and visitors comments, explores their interaction with and reactions to the memorial. The wall presents a brutal and barren environment illustrating a bleak history, which is disrupted by the arrival of colorful, enthusiastic and intrigued tourists. This disjuncture and sometimes humorous and clumsy encounter forces us to question how we navigate, consume and reflect upon these sites of human tragedy.
This project was supported by Centrum; Berlin and included a residency, exhibition and screening.
The project includes two photographic projects:
1. Death Strip Panoramas
A series of digital panoramas which document sites along the former Death Strip of the Berlin Wall which secured the border of East Berlin. These images comprise of 144 stitched photographs taken on a Gigapan. This motorized tripod head and associated software is used by forensics to document crime scenes allowing the viewer to zoom into an intensely detailed image.
Chausse Strasse
This image features Europe's largest building site; the new German secret service building the BND. It spans a section of the former death strip where you can see a remnant of a military vehicle in the foreground.
Liesen Strasse
This empty space is at the site of a former checkpoint between East and West Berlin.
2. Cushion Time Line
Images: 4 from a series of 8
Slideshow: http://vimeo.com/70594614
A series of photographs revealing 8 layers of cushion covers which were hidden beneath the top layer. The covers were added over a 40 year period displaying textiles and pattern from the 1960's to 2000.
The object and aesthetics have connotations of surveillance methods used by the Stasi where samples of smell were taken from cloths placed inside cushions on special smell chairs of those being interrogated. These were then placed in airtight jars to create a smell profile.
The images were taken at high definition (Hasselblad 4D) and will form incredibly dense large images to uncover forensic detail.

New invention aims to provide convenience and comfort for those living with diabetes
By Chris Freimond, Managing Editor
The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) expects the number of people living with diabetes to rise from 387 million in 2014 to 592 million by 2035, which will dramatically increase global demand for treatment and control of the disease.
Most people with diabetes control their blood glucose level with insulin. They need to regularly test their blood sugar during the day, and the standard test is finger pricking to draw blood, which is then applied to a test strip that provides a result.
The three inventors of the e-Mosquito. From left, Dr. Orly Yadid-Pecht, Mr. Joseph Wang and Dr. Martin Mintchev. supplied
But finger pricking, even with spring-loaded lancing devices, can be painful and stressful. Now researchers at the University of Calgary are developing what they believe could be a significant new method of blood sugar testing using a device which they say mimics a mosquito and is virtually undetectable as it draws blood.
Called the eMosquito – for electronic mosquito – the device could be in clinical trials within a year, according to Martin Mintchev, a director of M Pharmaceutical Inc. (MQ-CSE), a Vancouver-based company that is collaborating with the inventors of the new device to take it through clinical trials and regulatory approvals.
"This could be an important breakthrough for people with diabetes," says Dr. Mintchev. "The eMosquito is a device that will automatically monitor their blood sugar levels throughout the day with less discomfort and stress than traditional methods. In addition, blood sugar data can be sent wirelessly to users' smartphones and/or physicians, eliminating the need to carry bulky testing hardware."
He points out that the IDF estimates that diabetes caused at least US$612-billion in health expenditure in 2014 – 11 per cent of total spending on adults globally.
According to industry analysts including Frost & Sullivan, BMI Espicom and IEK Industrial Technology Research Institute, the value of the global market for blood glucose measuring devices is expected to grow from an estimated US$845-billion in 2014 to US$897-billion in 2016.
"The care and treatment of people with diabetes is a potentially huge market," adds Dr. Mintchev. "We believe this will mean growing demand for new and more convenient ways of testing blood sugar levels, which is why we are supporting the development of the eMosquito."
M Pharmaceutical Inc. is pursuing interests in pharmaceuticals and biomedical devices. It signed an arm's-length binding letter of intent with M Diagnostics Inc., a Calgary company that holds the rights to the eMosquito, which was developed by the shareholders of M Diagnostics Inc., Dr. Martin Mintchev, Dr. Orly Yadid-Pecht and Mr. Joseph Wang at the University of Calgary.
The letter of intent provides for the acquisition of all the rights to the eMosquito technology.
For more information on the eMosquito and M Pharmaceutical Inc., please visit the company

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas is no longer able to make insulin or when the body cannot make good use of the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that lets glucose from the food we eat pass from the blood stream into the cells in the body to produce energy. All carbohydrate foods are broken down into glucose in the blood. Insulin helps glucose get into the cells.
Not being able to produce insulin or use it effectively leads to raised glucose levels in the blood, known as hyperglycaemia. Over time, high glucose levels are associated with damage to the body and failure of various organs and tissues.
There are three main types of diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes used to be called juvenile-onset diabetes. It is usually caused by an auto-immune reaction where the body's defence system attacks the cells that produce insulin. People with this form of diabetes need injections of insulin every day in order to control the levels of glucose in their blood. If people with type 1 diabetes do not have access to insulin, they will die.
Type 2 diabetes used to be called non-insulin dependent diabetes or adult-onset diabetes and accounts for at least 90 per cent of all cases of diabetes. It is characterised by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency, either or both of which may be present at the time diabetes is diagnosed. People with type 2 diabetes can often initially manage their condition through exercise and diet. However, over time, most people will require oral drugs and/or insulin.
Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are serious. There is no such thing as mild diabetes.
Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a form of diabetes consisting of high blood glucose levels during pregnancy. It develops in one in 25 pregnancies worldwide and is associated with complications to both mother and baby. GDM usually disappears after pregnancy, but women with GDM and their children are at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
Maintaining blood glucose levels, blood pressure and cholesterol at or close to normal can help delay or prevent diabetes complications. Therefore, people with diabetes need regular monitoring.

Tensions Mount As Fort Worth Leaders Work To Fix $1.6 Billion Pension Problem
By Christopher Connelly • Aug 8, 2018
Fort Worth firefighters, police officers, city workers and retirees gathered at a City Council meeting Tuesday night to voice their concerns over the city's pension shortfall.
Christopher Connelly / KERA News
Fort Worth is scrambling to find a fix to shore up its pension fund, which will go bankrupt within 30 years if nothing is done, according to city leaders.
Listen to the KERA News story.
When City Manager David Cooke stood in front of the Fort Worth City Council Tuesday to brief them at an afternoon work session, he was blunt.
"This is a very difficult issue and there are no simple solutions," he said.
There's not enough money going into the city's retirement system to cover everything the fund will pay out over the next few decades. Fort Worth's firefighters, police officers and city workers are required to pay into the fund, and retired city employees count on pension payments. But the system is on track for a big shortfall: about $1.6 billion.
"Somewhere along the way, if we don't do anything," Cooke said, "this fund runs out of money in the future."
It took years to get this bad — some poor investments, short-sighted decisions in the '90s and, most recently, the recession. And it's cost the city. Twice credit agencies have downgraded Fort Worth's credit rating, making it more expensive to borrow money.
In recent years, the city has been trying to get the pension fund under control. The city has paid more money into the system. City workers are putting more of their own salaries toward into the retirement account and retirement benefits for new employees are less generous. But, none of this has been enough.
The city isn't alone in its pension woes. Dallas and Houston have struggled recently, but Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price wants to avoid having state lawmakers in Austin step in and force a solution, so she hopes the city will be able to solve the problem before the next legislative session starts in January 2019.
"I'm always of the opinion that local officials are elected to handle tough decisions, and this is one of them," Price said. "Austin has no idea what the other demands are in Fort Worth, or they don't know the face of our retirees and what they face."

Solving the problem will take some mix of concessions from workers, and more money from city coffers. After two and a half years spent studying the issue, a task force led by the city manager and made up of stakeholders failed to come up with a compromise that everyone could get behind and recommend to the city council.
Adding further complication, city leaders also want to reduce Fort Worth's property tax rate this year so that it's more in line with other North Texas cities. That won't cut homeowners tax bills because property values in the city are ballooning, but it would slow the growth of tax bills. It would also mean the city would have less money coming in to put toward the pension fund if the tax rate stayed the same.
The city already sends about $90 million each year to the pension fund. City Manager David Cooke laid out a proposal that would add up to about $48 million to aid the pension fund each year. Under the proposed plan, the city would kick in more money, workers would increase their contributions, and the fund would save some money by paying out less to some retirees by tightening qualifications for certain benefits.
It's not the final plan, but more of a first stab in what'll be a weeks-long process, Price stressed.
"Our job is to balance this out as equitably as possible between city taxpayers and our employees," she said. "We've got to figure out how to make the numbers work without asking taxpayers to put too much in, but still understanding where our employees and our retirees are on this."
Those employees and retirees seem to be in lock step, opposed to the proposed fix. Manny Ramirez from the Fort Worth Police Officers Association says it relies too much on employee concessions and not enough on taxpayer contributions.
"I'm always of the opinion that local officials are elected to handle tough decisions, and this is one of them."
"We need the city to pay their fair share," he said. "Obviously, 'fairness' is malleable, the term, but when you're speaking numbers, fairness usually equates to 50-50."
When the city council met again Tuesday night, the chamber was deluged by firefighters in red shirts demanding a better deal. They were joined by police officers, city workers and a host of retirees. And council members got an earful about the most controversial proposal on the table: an elimination of cost-of-living adjustments for some retirees.
Pete Rosenberg told them it's unfair. He sacrificed for the city, and has the scars to prove it.
"In August of '99, in 106-degree weather, I was at a large fire and broke my neck," he recalled. "I worked a year before they found it out. I have fallen through roofs and had roofs have fallen on me as a firefighter."
Jerry Horton, who worked at the library, shuffled up to the microphone with the aid of a walker.
"I live in my 100-year-old house, and I'm almost 100 myself. I can get by on mine without any raises, but there are many people who worked their guts out for the city, and you owe them their raises," Horton said.
"And you know you owe them."
City Council will spend the next few weeks working on a plan to shore up the pension fund. They want to vote on a solution next month, but the biggest hurdle comes after that: A majority of city workers have to approve any changes to the pension fund.

You all know the story. . . .teams of 3 this week, presenting a design for International Concepts a/k/a INC for sale at Macy's largest stores nationwide. Okay, so first of all I think we're all wondering why Banana Republic was "out" this season. Maureen Ryan of The Watcher had a massive interview with Tim Gunn last month in which Tim claims that the Bravo execs simply wanted to "give someone else a chance." I for one think that was pretty stupid. Hell, none of us would have even heard of Project Runway had it not been for the huge signs posted in every Banana Republic from here to San Francisco! Thanks for the press coverage, Banana, but "Auf Wiedersehen." Freaking idiots.
The runway was a complete disaster; can we say crapola, anyone? The judges, faced with choosing the lesser of four evils, chose Angela's design as the winner. And, let's face it guys, they were right.
This really was dowdy. Do the sleeves of Gramma's jacket look a bit too short to anyone else? Plus, when she took that jacket off, the shirt looked like something the model could have worn if she had been 9 months pregnant. . .and the pants looked like something she would wear after she had the baby and became a frazzled mother. Yuck.
This would have been my favorite (can we choose a favorite from such awful creations?) had it not been for the weird, the-model-is-wearing-the-shirt-upside-down feature of the convertible tank. The straps hanging down around her hips bothered me. A lot. Yuck.
Weirdness. Did this CEO leave work and get caught in the rain? Seriously, what is going on with the jacket, here? Yuck.
I'm now going to predict that the winner of Season 3 will be a tossup between Uli, Kayne and Laura. I'm guessing Michael or Robert will be auf'd this week. Stay tuned, peeps!

Street Feast has been going for a while now but I've never quite made it down despite it being pretty high up on my 'must eat immediately' list. Dalston always seemed a little too out of the way for this lazy cat but boy am I regretting not jumping on the orange line sooner. Open April through to October, every weekend, Street Feast is based in the old slightly derelict Dalton Yard. Scattered with fire drums, rickety old chairs, make do tables and a holey roof, its the perfect place to gather up some friends and spent an evening stuffing your face and drinking like a fish. I want to go every week! Top tip - share portions so you get to try more. It's expensive but what's the point in going if you're not greedy right?
I knew these were one of my favourite street food stalls in London so managed to persuade/bully my boyfriend that these bad boys should be our first port of call. Turned out he loved them as much as me and declared them his favourite meal of the whole evening. We opted for a crispy fish taco topped with a creamy aioli sauce, radish and a crunchy chicken taco pilled up with a vegetable slaw, spicy sauce and coriander. I could have eaten these all night. Perfectly cooked, delicately flavoursome and addictively moreish.
Caribbean food is one of my all-time favourite cuisines but it's so hard to do right. I had heard good things on the grapevine about WMCJ so was hoping they lived up to the hype. And they did. Just look at the delightful jerk chicken. What an utter beauty. The rice and peas alongside the crunchy slaw were the perfect accompaniment and helped to combat the fire in the chicken. One word of warning, do not put that yellow pepper in your mouth whole and eat it. Otherwise steam will start coming out of your ears and tears will start running down your face.
We wanted something simple for our last meal of the evening and how can you go wrong with some chicken tenders? You can't, you just can't. Strips of tea-brined, buttermilk dreaded fried chicken strips drizzled in a lime mayo and a hot sauce. These didn't feel like they had an ounce of grease on them and the chicken was deliciously tender. A great finale to the night.
New that week, this quesadilla track was just begging to be sampled. A smoked short rib with oozing mozzarella, a kick of blue cheese, spicy kimchi and pickled grilled red onion packed inside a toasted tortilla wrap. All served with a side of creamy avocado. The short beef was absolutely incredible and I'd have happily eaten the whole thing. But alas, I had to share. But I'd recommend you get one all to yourself.
A steamed bun was something else that my boyfriend had never had so I made sure we stopped here too so he could continue his food education. We decided to plump for one slow roasted pork belly with fresh cucumbers, spring onions and a glug of hoi sin sauce and another of roasted Portobello mushroom, toasted walnuts and a miso glaze. Both we absolutely lovely but the pork belly won for me. The mushroom came across a little bland in comparison.
A trio of bacon cheeseburgers were ordered and demolished within seconds. Slightly greasy but just how I like my burgers. A dirty burger if you will. The american cheese was generous and the crispy bacon was heavenly. The toasted sesame seed bun held together and soaked up the juices like a true champ. A winner all round.
The Gin Store store is a must visit for any gin fiends - over 40 different types to choose from I think. Gin heaven. The Rum shack is also a good shout for potent cocktails. You heard it here. The can hatch is great if you're into craft beer.
I love those tacos, but the steam buns really caught my eye. I definitely need to head over to Dalston next time I fancy one of those.

Study Finds Iraq Death Toll Higher Than Previous Estimates
Oct 11, 2006 6:20 PM EDT
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/study-finds-iraq-death-toll-higher-than-previous-estimates
According to a new study released by Johns Hopkins University, 655,000 Iraqis have been killed since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 -- much higher than previously estimated, although the numbers have been disputed. A reporter in Baghdad provides an update on the death toll and other developments in Iraq.
RAY SUAREZ:
Borzou Daragahi, welcome. Reporting coming out of Iraq, including your own, features pitched combat between American and Iraqi forces and armed opponents. Who's fighting back?
BORZOU DARAGAHI, Los Angeles Times:
Well, I mean, for some time now, you've had this ongoing insurgency. The Sunni-Arab resistance, as they call themselves, has been fighting both the U.S. troops and the Shiite and Kurdish-dominated Iraqi government.
It was very interesting, though. Yesterday, I was in a so-called insurgent stronghold in west Baghdad, and it seemed to me — and it seems to U.S. officials and Iraqi residents in this particular area, called Amiriyah — is that the sort of modified presence of U.S. troops in this area, in a sort of peacekeeping mode, rather than a combat mode, has managed to bring some measure of calm and stability to this once-troubled area.
Once areas are pacified, do they stay that way? Or do American troops and other forces have to return again and again?
BORZOU DARAGAHI:
You know, I mean, that's a really good point, and that's — even some commanders, U.S. commanders on the ground, acknowledge quite openly that they don't have enough troops to keep control over all of their areas. And they acknowledge that, yes, you know, we've got this area under control at the cost of leaving another area uncovered. And so it's really a game of Whack-a-Mole.
Watch Jul 15 Trump's tweets aren't racist, argues Rep. Comer


Schmitt Capital is making moves and taking command in the Jersey City area. Its projects are influencing and transforming areas such as Palisade Cliffs, surely bringing a great deal of attention. Anyone can appreciate the convenience and peacefulness that its properties are providing moving residents.
The view of the New York City skyline is not the only appeal residents are finding in the Jersey City Heights area. The commute to New York and neighboring towns such as Hoboken are easy. You can also take advantage of the Light Rail Station to get to where you need to go. Jersey City itself is also transforming into a busy and chic area, with the introduction of new eateries, businesses, and convenient supermarkets. You can also find farmer's markets at the local park from May through November. There's plenty of green space and live music for everyone to enjoy.
It is these factors that Schmitt Capital is taking into consideration when it comes to project development. They are not only partaking in the transformation of Jersey City but the rest of Hudson County as well. Schmitt Capital is all about providing for the growing demand of families wanting to remain close to New York City while still providing the family-friendly neighborhood factor. It is all about providing homes rather than just another simple apartment for residents.
It is no wonder that Jersey City, its properties, and the opportunities it is providing are astonishing to anyone who comes to learn about it. The time to look and move into the vibrant Jersey City area is now.

Q: Comparing two nulls, getting NullPointerException I'm trying to get two nulls to compare, keeps throwing java.lang.NullPointerException in Eclipse
public Double x(String x){

        if (x.split(" ")[1].equals("+")) {
            // Ignore this stuff, it works
            this.x = Double.valueOf(x.split(" ")[0]);
            return new Double(x(Double.valueOf(x.split(" ")[2])));
        } else if (x.split(" ")[1].equals("x")) {
            // Ignore this stuff, it works
            this.x = Double.valueOf(x.split(" ")[0]);
            return new Double(x(Double.parseDouble(x.split(" ")[2])));
        } else {
            // The problem
            return new Double(null);
        }
    }

public boolean testParser() {

    boolean parseOne;
    boolean parseTwo;
    boolean parseThree;

        if (calc.x("12 + 5") == 17) {
            System.out.println("[ OK ] Parser adds correctly.");
            parseOne = true;
        } else {
            System.out.println("[FAIL] Basic parsing fails to add.");
            parseOne = false;
        }
        if (calc.x("12 x 5") == 60) {
            System.out.println("[ OK ] Parser multiplies correctly.");
            parseTwo = true;
        } else {
            System.out.println("[FAIL] Basic parsing fails to multiply.");
            parseTwo = false;
        }

        // Comparing null with null here not working
        if (calc.x("12 [ 3") == null) {
            System.out.println("[ OK ] Parser returns null for operators which are not supported.");
            parseThree = true;
        } else {
            System.out.println("[FAIL] Parser does not return null for operators which are not supported.");
            parseThree = false;
        }

        return (parseOne && parseTwo && parseThree);
    }

(Where calc is just the name of an instance of an object which the Double x(String x) method is in)
Can anyone suggest a way to resolve this?

A: Here's what new Double(null) does...
The compiler has to find a constructor that matches.  There are two constructors for the Double class (according to the javadoc):
Double(double value)
    // Constructs a newly allocated Double object that represents the primitive double argument.
Double(String s)
    // Constructs a newly allocated Double object that represents the floating-point value of type double represented by the string.

null is not a valid value for a primitive type (i.e. small-d double), so this results in an attempt to call the second constructor, that takes a String.  At runtime, it then tries to parse the string in the format of a double.  And this results in a NullPointerException because the String parameter is null.  [To be more precise, I think at some point there will be a call to s.trim() from the class sun.misc.FloatingDecimal, which throws an exception if s is null.]

A: You are getting the null pointer exception because you are calling
new Double(null);

This is not how you use the Double constructor. To pass back null, simply return null. You can fix this by changing this line to:
return null;

Expanded new Edit Mode temporarily divide tracks at edit points and allows you to add or remove frames from the media point of editing while running, creating interactive editing experience and high precision. The program also gets the edge over Adobe Premiere in the special effects department. Best Spreadsheet Software for Home Users For home users, Google Sheets is our first choice.
The program is probably capable of doing much more than you will ever need it to. The real-time preview provides users with instant feedback of the effects they have applied. Dockable Windows You might not find any difference after launching this program. It supports more formats, more workflow more … to make it easy to convey and express their artistic abilities. All of the above programs are only available in 64 bit. Compatibility Compatibility with Microsoft Excel files is key for any spreadsheet software, simply because so many people use that program to create spreadsheets.
Vegas Pro 365 Subscription-Based There was a lot of hues and cry when certain software vendors started releasing subscription-based versions of their program. However, dig a bit deeper and you will find that it now features savable layouts and dockable windows. And best of all, this software is a completely real-time editor. Go through my Sony Vegas Pro review to understand more about the different versions available and how to complete the Vegas Pro download. Personal preferences and familiarity play a large part in why you should choose one program over the other, though cost and learning curve play into the equation as well. It is as good as similar features found on high-end software.

Q: AWS RDS "Publicly Accessible = No" vs instance in private subnet I am creating infrastructure for one of my web application on AWS. That app needs Mysql RDS instance. Now I am wondering that whether I should simply create RDS instance in public subnet and just change its settings to Publicly Accessible=No, or I will have to create this RDS instance in private subnet for better security or something. I am confused that whether any of above option will provide better security than other.
I have also read that simply assigning security group to instance will act as firewall, so I can have publicly accessible=true RDS instance and its security group allowing access only from my application EC2 instance. So basically I have three options mentioned below.

*

*Publicly Accessible = True RDS instance in public subnet with security group allowing access only to EC2 application instance.

*Publicly Accessible = False RDS instance in public subnet.

*RDS instance in private subnet.
Can anyone explain pros and cons in terms of security for above approaches?

A: You are correct that Security Groups can provide sufficient protection for your database, and also for Amazon EC2 instances.
So why does AWS provide public/private subnets? It's because many customers want them because that is how enterprises typically organise their network prior to using the cloud. Traditional firewalls only act between subnets, whereas Security Groups apply to each instance individually.
So, if you understand how to correctly configure Security Groups, there is no actual need to use Private Subnets at all! Some people, however, feel more comfortable putting resources in private subnets because it provides an additional layer of security.


ORTHODOX CHURCH IN AMERICA - (OCA) The Orthodox Church in America is an autocephalous Church with territorial Jurisdiction in the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Canada. Its doctrine, discipline, and worship are those of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church as taught by the Holy Scriptures, Holy Tradition, the Ecumenical and Provincial Councils, and the Holy Fathers. The Orthodox Church in America is referred to in this Statute as "the Church."
The Orthodox Church in America was originally (1794) founded as a mission and later became a diocese in the Orthodox Church of Russia, uniting in its fold Orthodox Christians of various national backgrounds and traditions. It subsequently developed into a self-governing Metropolitanate, the Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church of America (or Metropolia). Confirmation as an Autocephalous Church was accomplished by the action of the Patriarch and Holy Synod of Russia on April 10, 1970. The Orthodox Church in America was proclaimed an Autocephalous Church on October 19, 1970, at the sessions of the All-American Council held at St Tikhon's Monastery in South Canaan, Pennsylvania.

Movie Review: "Dredd 3D" →
Movie Review: "The Devil Inside"
The things young Isabella Rossi sees on her fateful trip to Rome! She sees bodies contort into pretzels and climb walls and fling themselves across rooms, breaking restraints as they do. She sees blood and hears all manner of blood-curdling cursing in languages familiar and foreign.
And playing her in The Devil Inside, actress Fernanda Andrade — who is easy on the eyes — barely bats an eye. I guess she's grown up with exorcism movies, so nothing's going to shock her.
If it's January, it must be low-grade horror season. And since The Rite cashed in last January, why not roll out a Blair Witchy hand-held "We're making a documentary about my 'possessed' mother" documentary?
The unemotive Andrade plays a young woman whose mother killed three members of the Catholic clergy 20 years before in an American exorcism. Somehow, she was transferred to a hospital for the criminally insane in Rome, where Isabella drags filmmaker Michael (Ionut Grama) and his many video cameras to make a movie that provides Isabella with answers.
"Is it in my genes? Am I going to flip out some day?"
She visits Mom (Suzan Crowley, very creepy) — alone, in her hospital room. And Mom, switching accents, rolling her eyes, showing off her collection of cross-cuts on her arms and lips, rattles Isabella (not that Andrade lets us see this). Isabella takes in a lecture at The Vatican School for Exorcism, which is like Hogwarts without the cool scarves. She likes the healthy skepticism there, but she takes up with a couple of young true believer priests (Simon Quartermain and Evan Helmuth) who promptly invite her and Michael along on a couple of house calls.
She doesn't take the warnings of the young Brit Ben (Quartermain) seriously.
"In all the years I've been in the church," he mutters, "I've seen the Devil way more than I've seen God!"
The priests lay out the four give-aways that you're dealing with a demonic possession and not just run-of-the-mill mental illness, signs that include "aversion to holy objects" (Bibles, crucifixes, holy water), preternatural movement and strength. And then they show her the real deal, bringing a couple of lay people into deathly dangerous situations. Honestly, Father Ben, do you think Satan is listening when you shout "I want you to leave the girl out of this?"
It's a profoundly foolish script filmed with a shaky cam, a movie that goes to great pains to explain how many cameras there are and where they're placed in a room, only to drop that conceit and show us unexplained subjective shots.
But having one exorcist be a priest and a doctor, able to bring vital signs monitors into the basement, bedroom or wherever the exorcism is to take place, adds an ER's urgency to this, sort of an "I need 400 cc's of Holy water, STAT!" effect. There are some gripping images and one hair-raising moment.
It's not enough, of course, and the ending is such a cheat that you'll be fighting back the urge to boo at the credits. But some won't.
MPAA Rating: R, for disturbing violent content and grisly images, and for language including some sexual references.
Cast: Fernanda Andrade, Simon Quartermain, Evan Helmuth, Suzan Crowley, Ionut Grama

In the trucking industry, Physical Damage coverage is one of the most important insurance policies.
Collision Coverage – Collision involves damage to a vehicle when it collides with another object.
*Comprehensive – Comprehensive is defined as anything other than collision. Comprehensive covers loss caused by theft, fire, vandalism and more.
When considering your next insurance purchase, the agents at Mid South Truckers Group will work with you to develop a coverage package that meets your insurance needs. Our team specializes in insurance for owner-operators and fleet. We strive to make the binding process quick and easy for everyone.
Contact our office toll free by dialing 888-641-3753 or complete the form on this page to receive an insurance quote for your truck or fleet. Additional information may be required when quoting coverage for small and large fleets.
*Because Comprehensive coverage is defined as "anything other than collision" it is much broader than Specified Perils coverage, which is frequently sold to truckers. Comprehensive provides coverage for loss caused by theft, vandalism and fire, plus any other peril that does not involve collision.
