2003 Green Bay Packers: The Year That Summed Up The Favre Era
Dan Flaherty NFL History Articles, Sports History Articles 2003 Green Bay Packers, 2003 NFL, Green Bay Packers history, NFL history, sports history articles
To just look at the results of the 2003 Green Bay Packers might not tip you off that it was a special season and a wild ride. But if you lived through the adventures of those '03 Packers you know that it was perhaps the year that best summed up the Brett Favre era. It wasn't a breakout playoff year like 1993. It wasn't a move into the NFL's upper crust like 1995. It wasn't the ultimate Super Bowl title run of 1996 or the near-repeat of 1997. But the 2003 Green Bay Packers captured everything that football fans loved about Brett Favre…and everything that could drive them a little crazy about his on-field play sometimes.
READ GREAT 1980s SPORTS MOMENTS
Favre's statistical line tells a little bit of that story. He was often brilliant, with a 65 percent completion rate that ranked second in the NFL and his 7.1 yards-per-attempt that was 10th. That, along with 32 touchdown passes, got the future Hall of Famer another Pro Bowl trip. But then there were the 21 interceptions—getting picked off at a 4.5 percent clip ranked Favre 30th among NFL quarterbacks.
Ahman Green had become one of the game's most versatile running backs and he rolled up nearly 1,900 yards on the ground. Even more impressive was that Green averaged better than five yards a pop in the process. He caught 50 passes and was another Pro Bowl player.
The receiving corps wasn't particularly strong, but Donald Driver did catch 52 passes for over 600 yards. Javon Walker and Robert Ferguson were also contributors and could help Favre stretch the field. Bubba Franks only caught 30 passes, but his blocking skills helped him punch a Pro Bowl ticket.
Franks wasn't the only one who could block. The offensive line, often a problem area during the Favre years, produced a pair of Pro Bowlers in center Mike Flanagan and guard Marco Rivera. The Packer offense ranked fourth in the NFL in points scored.
The defense was keyed by the pass-rushing skills of Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (KGB) who record ten sacks from the edge. Two beneficiaries of KGB's pressure were secondary ballhawks Mike McKenzie at corner and free safety Darren Sharper who combined to intercept nine balls. The Green Bay defense didn't have any Pro Bowl players in 2003, but they ranked a respectable 11th in the league for points allowed.
Green Bay hosted Minnesota to open the season. Homefield advantage usually defined this rivalry in the Favre years, but on this day the Gunslinger was awful. He threw four interceptions. The Packers were in a 27-3 hole by the third quarter before rallying to make the final score cosmetically close at 30-25.
Another division rival in Detroit came to Lambeau. The Packers had to win this one and they did. Green bolted 65 yards for a touchdown in the game's opening minute, the start of a day he rolled up 160 yards rushing. Al Harris had a Pick-6 in the fourth quarter that put the finishing touches on a 31-6 rout.
Green Bay visited lowly Arizona for what should have been an easy win. And Favre played reasonably well, going 23/33 for 245 yards. But the Packers couldn't get the running game going. Cardinal quarterback Jeff Blake was able to stretch the field. Green Bay was dumped 20-13.
A Monday Night visit to Chicago now had urgency attached. Of these first four opponents, only the Vikings were a contender. The Packers simply couldn't start 1-3.
They didn't. Green again set the tone with a long touchdown run early on, starting a 176-yard night. Green Bay was up 24-6 by halftime. When Chicago cut the lead to 24-16, Favre tossed a couple fourth quarter touchdown passes to widen the lead back out and the game ended at 38-23.
The Packers weren't impressing anyone, but at 2-2 they were alive and hosting playoff-bound Seattle. Favre was efficient against his old mentor, Mike Holmgren, going 19/25 for 185 yards and no mistakes. Green rushed for 118 yards. Green Bay delivered their best performance of the still-young season in a 35-13 blowout win.
Kansas City was on their way to a 13-3 season thanks to an explosive passing game overseen by head coach Dick Vermeil. The Chiefs came to Lambeau. Favre was ready for the challenge and went 25/36 for 272 yards. Green went off for 139 yards. The Pack was coasting with a 31-14 lead after three quarters. Then KC came roaring back, tied the game 34-34 in the final two minutes. In overtime, the Packers lost the shootout, 40-34.
Another opponent against a good, playoff-bound offense came with a trip to St. Louis to face the Rams. Favre again played well, going 23/32 for 268 yards. But this time the running game disappeared. Green Bay was in an early 14-3 hole, had to chase the rest of the game and lost 34-24.
Green Bay went into the bye week at 3-4. On the far side of the bye was another big prime-time road game with a divisional rival, this one on the first Sunday Night in November up in Minneapolis.
WATCH THESPORTNOTEBOOK'S VIDEO DISCUSSION OF THE BRETT FAVRE ERA IN GREEN BAY
Favre played this one a little closer to the vest, steering clear of mistakes and going 18/28 for 194 yards. Green stepped up with a big game, 137 yards. Green Bay took over the fourth quarter. Tied 20-20, they ripped off ten straight points. The Vikes got a TD back, but the 30-27 final held. A huge road victory had kept the Packers in the mix in the NFC North.
Philadelphia was on their way to the top seed in the NFC bracket and they came to Lambeau Field for a Monday Night date. Green put on a show for the national audience, going off for 192 yards on the ground. He caught one TD pass and ran for another. In a tough defensive game, the Pack handed a 14-10 lead to their D late in the game. But the Eagles drove it down for the winning TD. Green Bay slipped back under .500 with the 17-14 loss.
A year earlier, Tampa Bay had won the Super Bowl, keyed in part by a big November win over Green Bay. This year the Bucs were struggling. The Packers returned to the scene of the crime for a late Sunday afternoon game.
Favre often struggled with the aggressive Tampa defense and today was no exception. He was often erratic, but this time the Green Bay quarterback steered clear of big mistakes. The Packers picked up three turnovers. Green ran for 109 yards and got some help on the ground from Najeh Davenport, who added 70 yards. Defense, the running game and no mistakes keyed a nice 20-13 win.
Green Bay hosted mediocre San Francisco and Favre got things rolling quickly with a 66-yard touchdown strike to Walker and a 16-yard scoring pass to Ferguson. It was 14-0 in a hurry. Green then took over, ran for 154 yards and helped the Packers manage the rest of the game to a 20-10 win. They were back on the plus side of .500 at 6-5.
Not for long. A Thanksgiving Day visit to Detroit was a disaster. The Lions were a bad team, but Favre threw three interceptions and the Pack turned it over five times. A 14-13 lead after three quarters turned into a 22-14 loss.
If nothing else, Green Bay had ten days to get ready for games with mediocre Chicago and a lousy San Diego Chargers team. It was a chance for the Packers to get their bearings back and stay in the hunt for an NFC North division that had no great team.
The home date with the Bears didn't start well—Favre threw a Pick-6 and the Packers were staring at a 14-0 hole. But it ended well. Favre went 22/33 for 210 yards and got Green Bay out to a 19-14 lead. When Chicago was driving in the fourth quarter threatening to get the lead back, McKenzie picked off a pass on his own 10-yard line and went all the way to the house. That all but sealed a game that ended 34-21.
The visit to San Diego proved to be a battle. The Chargers might not be good, but with Marty Schottenheimer rebuilding behind LaDanian Tomlinson in the backfield, the Bolts weren't far from being a contender. They took a 21-17 lead into the fourth quarter. Favre answered the bell, hitting Ferguson on a 40-yard TD strike, tossing an 11-yard scoring pass to Green and then going back to Ferguson from 16 yards out. The fourth quarter flurry, keyed by Driver's eight catches for 112 yards, led a 38-21 win.
Green Bay was 8-6 and tied for first in the NFC North with Minnesota. The problem was, the Vikings held the tiebreaker based on conference record. Dallas led the wild-card race at 9-5 and had control of the tiebreakers. The Packers were tied with the Seahawks at 8-6 for the final berth. Green Bay held this tiebreaker based on head-to-head, but there was one problem—any Dallas loss could create a three-way tie and the Packers would end up the odd team out.
So it was must-win on Monday Night in Oakland. And now is when the legend of the 2003 Green Bay Packers really kicks into high gear.
The day before the game the Favre family received awful news. Favre's father Irv had died of a heart attack. He was only 58-years-old. There was talk that Favre would not play the following night. In the end, his family persuaded him it was what Irv would have wanted. He took the field, but with a heavy heart.
A sympathetic nation rallied to a quarterback they already loved for his down-home demeanor. And on Monday Night, Favre electrified the audience. He threw for 399 yards. There were four touchdown passes. There were no mistakes. A 41-7 win over what was a bad Raider team normally wouldn't raise an eyebrow. This one, with virtually everything Favre threw up, seeming to land in the hands of his receivers, had a magical quality to it.
With most great quarterbacks, their defining moment is often a legendary drive (see John Elway in 1986 at Cleveland), a big Super Bowl win (Joe Montana, Tom Brady and a host of others), an epic playoff comeback (Peyton Manning in 2006 against New England). Ask people about Brett Favre's greatest moment and the most common answer you get is the night he threw four touchdown passes a day after his father died. Brett Favre, more than other star athletes, was Everyman and perhaps this sums it up.
Everyman was still no guarantee for the playoffs. The previous Saturday, Minnesota had blown out Kansas City, depriving the Packers of help in a game where it seemed possible. Seattle and Dallas had both won. Everything was up in the air going into the final week.
Green Bay was slated to play in the late Sunday afternoon window at home against Denver. The Broncos were playoff-bound, but had nothing to play for.
The problem is that neither did Dallas. The Cowboys dropped their finale in the early afternoon. Combine that with Seattle's win in San Francisco on Saturday, and Green Bay was frozen out of the wild-card. The only hope was to catch Minnesota. The Vikings were out in Arizona for a finale that would play parallel to the Packers-Broncos game.
Green Bay took care of their business. Green had the best day of the best season in his career. He poured it on for 218 yards, including a 98-yard touchdown jaunt that all but sealed the game early in the fourth quarter. It ended 31-3.
Everyone at Lambeau was watching the score in Arizona. It didn't look good. The Vikings led 17-6. Phil Simms, calling the game for CBS, noted that Green Bay had gone 10-6 and that such was usually a playoff season. The obituaries were being written.
Then the Cardinals got a touchdown. And got the ball back. Watching the Packer game became a surreal experience. Players from the sidelines were looking up at the fans, who were tuned into what was going on in the desert. Arizona got to the Minnesota 28-yard line, but there was only time for one more play.
What happened next remains stunning by any measure. Josh McCown stepped back for Arizona and found Nathan Poole for a touchdown. The crowd at Lambeau erupted as though they were there, even though their own game was still going on right before them. Arizona had pulled the upset. Green Bay was going to the playoffs. The thought that maybe Irv had guided McCown's pass was a part of the storyline.
Green Bay was now hosting a first-round playoff game. Seattle came in for the second time this season. This one wasn't as easy as the first. Both teams had two good first drives bog down with field goals. Favre found Franks for a 23-yard TD pass to make it 13-6 at the half.
The offenses picked up the pace in the second half. Favre went 26/38 for 319 yards. Counterpart Matt Hasselbeck was 25/45 for 305 yards. The back and forth battle went to overtime tied 27-all, neither quarterback having thrown a pick.
Maybe that's why Hasselbeck was confident enough to tell the official "We're gonna score" as Seattle won the coin toss under overtime rules that were then strict sudden death. Hasselbeck was almost right.
Seattle drove near midfield. Hasselbeck looked to his left. His pass was intercepted by Al Harris, who raced the other way for a Pick-6. In yet another stunning turn of events, the Packers had another victory.
Green Bay went to Philadelphia the following Sunday, a late afternoon kick that would conclude the divisional round weekend. The Packers played like the magic was still there. Favre went to Ferguson for touchdowns from 40 and 17 yards. Green Bay led 14-0.
Philadelphia rallied with two TDs of their own to tie it, but Green was owning the Eagles on the ground. His 25 carries produced 156 yards. A field goal early in the fourth quarter put the Packers up 17-14. They had the ball late in the game, facing 4th-and-inches near the Philadelphia 40. A first down would seal the game. Head coach Mike Sherman opted to punt.
It was understandable decision, given the Eagles only needed a field goal and the Packer defense was playing well. I see why Sherman didn't want to risk giving the Eagles a short field, even though I felt at the time it was a mistake to punt. Then the punt went into the end zone, Green Bay had only gained about twenty yards in exchange for giving up a chance to clinch the game behind a ground game that was clicking. But when the defense forced Philly into an impossible 4th-and-26, it didn't appear to matter.
The stunning turns of events were now going to turn around and bite the Packers. Philadelphia converted the first down and quite easily, as the Green Bay secondary led Freddie Mitchell waltz over the middle of the field wide open. The Eagles tied the game with a field goal.
Green Bay still got the coin toss in overtime. That's when Favre threw what can only be described as the worst and most misguided pass of his career. In his own territory and under pressure, Favre scrambled and then basically hurled the ball blindly back across the field. To no one's surprise, the blind backside desperation throw was intercepted. Philadelphia kicked a field goal and the season was over.
Live by the sword and die by the sword was Brett Favre's mantra throughout his entire magnificent career. Never were both sides of that more obvious than in the highs and lows of 2003, with a heavy dose of heartwarming human interest on top of it all.

Mason could stay at the helm at Spurs as manager search drags on
Tottenham have put Ryan Mason on standby to take charge of pre-season training, according to the Daily Express.
Mason ended last season as caretaker boss following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
A new manager was expected to be installed soon after the end of the campaign but Spurs are yet to make an appointment.
Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui has turned down the job after what the Spanish club's president Jose Castro described as a "dizzying" offer from Tottenham.
Interest in Antonio Conte, Paulo Fonseca, Gennaro Gattuso and Erik ten Hag has also come to nothing.
The Express therefore suggest that Mason might be asked to oversee the start of pre-season training if the search for a new manager continues to drag on.
Former Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo is now seen as the favourite to take over at Spurs.
Nuno is looking for a new challenge after leaving Wolves and could now be offered the chance to become Tottenham manager. He was previously linked with the job but the club looked elsewhere.
The Sun, though, suggest Brighton's Graham Potter is a contender for the job. Potter has been widely praised for his work since taking over at the Sussex club.

IIRC, the Vulgar Latin form of Iūdaeus would be, approximately, /ʝudeo/, which is, to my mind, effectively close enough to the Italian form that that's probably why it's rendered "Italian". In writing giudeo seems to go back at least the 9th Century AD, and /ʝudeo/ would have been the pronunciation in around about the 4th Century (from what I can remember), which does give some overlap with Proto-Slavic (about two centuries or so, I think).
It does seem like there were Jewish people living in places like the Balkans and other areas of Eastern Europe during the period in which Proto-Slavic was spoken, but I can't find anything on what languages they spoke (at a brief glance, it probably would have been something related to either Romance or Greek given earlier Jewish settlements in the area were around the Black Sea, when Greek and Romance languages were also spoken in the area).
Honestly, you're probably going to have to do your own digging if you want to find out why one word was borrowed while another one wasn't, especially when dealing with languages that weren't written down until after the borrowing took place.
You can tell the same lie a thousand times,
But it never gets any more true,
So close your eyes once more and once more believe
That they all still believe in you.

If the Latin word legion wad borrowed into Balto Slavic at the time of Principate, how would its Slavic reflex sound?

*ležǫ, maybe? Which would give Russian, for example, something like лежу?
By this time, however, I think Slavic is usually thought to be distinct from Baltic, but hadn't undergone the first palatalisation yet, so it'd be borrowed into Pre-Slavic or Early Proto-Slavic (Early Common Slavic) instead, depending on whose dates you go by.
Shat other words vould be borrowed from Latin and earlier, Greek and what could their reflexes be?

If the Western Roman Empire survuved, would development of Romance languages be slowed down/prevented? In such a scenario Iberia and Gallia would continue economic development and integration with each other and would reach economic level of Italy in 6th-7th century.

How about, rather than us giving you a narrow answer, you show us some of your own thinking?
Why might you think that an enduring Empire would affect the linguistic development?
And what makes you think that your answer to that question may not be correct?
I was thinking along the lines that literacy and urbanization slow down linguistic change. I see this as a reason why Greek has changed much less over last two millenia.
But I may be wrong or just partially right.
Basically surviving WRE.= More economic deveopment earlier = more urban development = more movement of population = slowdown of longuistic change
Well, I'm glad you've given it some thought! [it's better to be thoughtfully wrong than unthinkingly right...]
I'll reply in a bit more detail tomorrow, but the key thing to say immediately is: urbanisation and population movement actually both tend to lead to more language change rather than less (although there are some exceptions to this, particularly in the short term). Language change takes place in the cities - if you want to find conservative speech, go as deep into the countryside as you can get!
[in the UK, for instance, the 'oldest' dialects - that retain the oldest features and that have avoided the most innovations - are found in places like Norfolk and Wales, not London]

Slowdown of language split-up, yes;
Slowdown of language change, no.
Assuming Marc Baker (sp?) is right, "imperial simplification" would probably speed up, replacing language fragmentation.
That's my guess.
My minicity is http://gonabebig1day.myminicity.com/xml
In any case, can you see a Greek population (even a few 1000s surviving from the time of Alexander until today?
Spoiler alert: a Greek population HAS survived! (linguistically, if arguably not genetically).
If you mean specifically in Western Europe: probably not, no, but theoretically maybe, but probably not, no. But I can't really answer questions properly, if you don't pause on one before moving to the next...
The Roman Empire and language change...
Languages generally change when:
- babies learn it
- foreigners learn it
- speakers of a different dialect learn the mainstream dialect
- subcultures, mostly of young people, attempt to differentiate themselves from the mainstream by speaking weirdly for fun
We could sum up the first three as 'mislearning', and the fourth as 'innovation'. There's also a fifth way: when speakers of the mainstream language react to speakers of weird dialects by changing their own speech, to ensure they can be understood. We could call this 'accommodation'.
I don't know if there's an academic consensus yet - and note, I'm not a linguist! - but I think it's usually thought that, most of the time, innovation is the biggest driver of change.
Then we can talk about why languages break apart. The answer is simple: languages break into two when the speakers of one dialect do not feel compelled to accommodate speakers of another dialect anymore. This is mostly going to happen when they don't meet speakers of the other dialect as often. Mass movement brings unity, while isolation brings division.
How does this apply to a unified western empire?
Greater urbanisation brings more change - all five types happen more often in more populated areas, particularly when they're connected to large-scale travel networks.
Greater political unity brings more travel, and more travel brings more change: more mislearning (in all ways other than by babies), more accommodation, and even more innovation (travel creates ghettoes, creates subcultures).
So an Enduring Empire would not, you'd expect, lead to less linguistic change. On the contrary, it would probably lead to more linguistic change.
Would it lead to less fragmentation? In theory, yes: more unity across an area, more travel, means more pressure for everyone to keep being able to understand one another.
In practice, though: not so fast. In premodern times, only a tiny number of merchants and politicians actually travelled regularly. They would need to understand one another - but ordinary peasants wouldn't. A peasant outside Lisbon wouldn't need to understand the speech of a peasant outside Bruges. Indeed nobody the one peasant ever met would ever need to talk to anybody the other peasant ever met. The great bulk of the language community would remain several degrees of separation away from any cosmopolitan elite.
So yes, maybe you'd see less fragmentation, but it certainly wouldn't be total, and I don't think it would necessarily be all that major at all.
What you would see would be a lingua franca that the ruling class spoke. And, of course, we had that in real life: Latin. I would expect people would continue to write to one another in Latin, as in reality, and that this would last a bit longer than in real life.
I wonder, though, whether they might actually stop using Classical Latin, and instead - if fragmentation is indeed a bit slower - use a more modern vernacular. You could maybe see 'Old French' as the lingua franca - though this might depend on the political details. You'd probably see polyglossia, as in early modern China: Latin (i.e. Literary Chinese) continuing to be used as the written standard for scholarly purposes, but a specific, compromise Romance language (i.e. Mandarin) being used as a spoken lingua franca by the administrative classes, and possibly written by them also in some informal contexts.
You also wouldn't see the sharp language divides that you see today: dialects would blur into one another. But this is also how things were in reality up to the 19th century: the famous saying is that in 1800 you could walk from Paris to Lisbon without ever noticing the language around you change. Nation states and the enforcement of local standard language forms through standardised education and national media are modern phenomena.
Hypothetically, however, modern romance might be different. In general, large empires with lots of travel have high levels of accommodation and mislearning. They tend to be associated - though the link is controversial - with 'simple' languages, lacking complex morphologies and counterintuitive or eccentric features, because new learners struggle with these things, and natives adjust their speech to avoid thing that confuse the learners. By contrast, highly isolated areas, in which linguistic groups admit few new learners, tend to be more dominated by unfettered innovation: they change more slowly, but their changes may be weirder, and often involve more 'complicated' grammar.
Vulgar Latin, for example, simplifies the nominal and verbal systems of Classical Latin considerably, relying more on prepositions and periphrastic idioms. Many Romance languages, however, have subsequently rebuilt their verbal systems in particular. I do wonder whether maybe a unified Empire might have discouaged this rebuilding, keeping all of Romance more analytical?
I wouldn't necessarily bet much money on that, however.
Regarding Greece I meant a surviving population in...
Assuming it survived until today, would the language be recognized as Greek? Romani still survives

In Japanese, what's the standard counter (or I guess it's not really a counter, but I'm not sure what the right term is) for things like locker numbers? There are a results on Google for "[number]号室のロッカー" and also just "[number]号のロッカー", but not many for either like I'd expect if either of them was the standard and/or most common. There are also results for "[number]つのロッカー" and "[number]部屋のロッカー", but those look like they only refer to the actual number of lockers?
While I'm at it, I'll also ask an even stupider question: what's the verb to use for something like mist, fog, etc. rising? Asking because I can't tell if the stuff I find on Google for eg. "霧が上がる" is about fog rising/increasing or clearing up... Also, even if it is about fog rising/increasing, on the other hand there are so few results for "靄が上がる" and "霞が上がる" (but those seem kinda clear in referring to mist actually rising/increasing?) that I'm not sure it could be the right verb unless the standard is to use different verbs for the rising of fog and mist or something?
Even in English, the idea of fog "rising" is confusing. When mists begin, they rise, and so if a mist got thicker you could loosely say it was rising. However, fogs fall, or descend. If someone told me the fog was rising, I would probably assume they meant the fog was lifting (i.e. getting less thick), rather than that it was falling further.
Why does Japanese even have counters for locker numbers? Counters are generally for counting, aren't they - i.e. for cardinal numbers. Here you're dealing with an ordinal, which I wouldn't have expected to act the same way. But I know nothing about Japanese.
It does make me wonder about English, though - what's the analysis of "cashier number 12", I wonder? Should we treat this as an appositive "cashier" and "number 12" are both names for the same person? But we never give it the intonation or spelling of a normal appositive. Should we instead treat this as a single name, with "cashier" being a form of title - as in "captain albert", and so on? But sometimes we use this construction even with inanimates, and while 'cashier' feels like it might be a title, I don't think it feels right to say that "page number 4" is giving the title "page" to something called "number 4", even if grammatically it would make sense. So is "number" a preposition - after all, it does link the presumable head to something in order to modify it. Or maybe it's a conjunction - it's not like a conjunction semantically at all, but it does seem grammatically like one. Or is it part of the number? But it's clearly added grammatically rather than lexically - there are no numbers that don't take "number" before them - so it seems like sophistry to claim it's just a coincidental integral-but-disposable part of every lexical numerical item. So maybe it's its own part of speech - a "numerator" or the like? Weird to have a part of speech just for one word - particularly given that I don't think it's ever actually grammatically required!

Which is weird, because you get phases like "the red mist descends" as well.

Taapsee Pannu launches production house Outsiders Films, announces thriller 'Blurr' as first venture
MN news Send an email July 15, 2021
Mumbai, Jul 15 : Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu on Thursday announced her maiden production feature film "Blurr", to be made under her banner Outsiders Films. Billed as an "edge-of-the-seat thriller", "Blurr" will be directed by Ajay Bahl, known for films like "BA Pass" and "Section 375". Pannu, who made the film announcement on Twitter, said she has backed the project along with Zee Studios and Echelon Productions.
"And here's the first one of the slate. The chill to match the thrill ! #BLURR! @ZeeStudios_ #OutsidersFilms & @echelonmumbai come together for an edge of the seat thriller. Directed by #AjayBahl," she wrote.
Bahl has co-written the story of "Blurr" with Pawan Sony. Param Gill and Kabir Lal are credited as co-producers. Pannu, known for her critically-praised performances in Hindi films such as "Pink", "Mulk", "Manmarziyaan", and "Thappad", has teamed with producer Pranjal Khandhdiya to start Outsiders Films.
In an interview with PTI, the 33-year-old actor said the decision to foray into film production was organic. "I have been very sure that direction is not my cup of tea. Production was something I thought I could pull off. Being an actor, I love to act, I couldn't divert my attention and focus to something else when I am on a set.
"So the day when I have a partner who could handle the ground work, while I concentrate on my acting job, is when I would partner with and then start a production. That's when Pranjal came in," Pannu said.
Khandhdiya has served as producer on films like "Super 30", "Piku", and the actor's upcoming "Rashmi Rocket". Pannu said she is excited about expanding her horizons as a producer.
"I didn't think twice when Pranjal asked me if I would like to partner with him. And there onwards I have really never been stressed about practicality of things and happily jumped into this new tag of being a producer."
The actor said she started the production house with the intent to champion projects she strongly believes in.
"One thing Pranjal and I have maintained is that I will only produce the kind of films I will be a part of. This doesn't mean I have to be part of every film I produce. It means the kind of films I will produce are the ones that people know me for as an actor.
"That continuity and consistency will be there because I can't green light a film unless I believe I am an audience to it," she said. The Delhi-born actor also said Outsiders Films is an apt name for her production house.
"Pranjal and I both come from humble backgrounds, that's when the name Outsiders Films clicked with us. We aim to produce meaningful, entertaining, and quality content," she added.
It is unclear if Pannu will star in "Blurr", which is scheduled to be released in 2022.
The actor has a string of films coming up, including Hindi titles "Looop Lapeta", "Dobaaraa", "Shabaash Mithu", and a Telugu movie "Mishan Impossible".
She was most recently seen in "Haseen Dillruba".

Last week we reported that rising star Sophie Rundle (The Bletchley Circle, Episodes), is to take the lead alongside Russell Tovey (Being Human, Him & Her), Mark Lewis Jones (Stella, Titanic), Michael Smiley (Utopia, Luther) and Christine Tremarco (Good Cop, Five Days) in an exciting new Sky Living, two-part crime drama, 'Talking To The Dead'.
We now have more information about the drama – a co-production between Bonafide Films and Warp Films for Sky Living's Drama Matters season.
The Cardiff-based thriller tells the modern story of wayward police officer, DC Fiona Griffiths (Rundle), who suffers from a secret history of Cotard's Syndrome; a mental illness which has left her with a deep and peculiar empathy for the dead.
Adapted by Golden Globe Award nominee Gwyneth Hughes (The Girl, Five Days), 'Talking To the Dead' is based on an original novel of the same name from acclaimed author, Harry Bingham (The Sons Of Adam, The Lieutenant's Lover). Other top names set to feature include Keith Allen (Robin Hood), Syrus Lowe (Doctors), Lois Winstone (Tamara Drew) and Adrian Schiller (Silk).
When a prostitute and her young daughter are found brutally murdered on her first day with Cardiff's Major Crime Unit, DC Fiona Griffiths (Rundle) is desperate to be involved in the case. Under the watchful eye of DCI Owen Jackson (Lewis Jones), Fiona finds her investigations frustratingly limited to following the paper trail of a bank card found at the crime scene, registered to a local shipping tycoon who mysteriously died in the Severn Estuary nine years ago.
This is not the first time Fiona has uncovered dark secrets in the detritus of people's everyday lives and an overlapping embezzlement investigation into a corrupt ex-cop, Penry (Smiley), adds to her work load.
However, the highly committed and potentially brilliant Fiona is compelled to take matters in her own hands. Working alongside respected Detective Sergeant Huw Brydon (Tovey), the rookie cop must take care not to ruffle feathers as she surreptitiously pursues leads. As she delves deeper into the investigation Fiona's obsession with the crime increasingly draws out her own personal and professional demons leading her to question whether she really is as cured of her condition as she previously thought.
Margery Bone is Executive Producer for Bonafide Films and Robin Gutch for Warp Films. China Moo-Young (Call The Midwife, Scott & Bailey) is directing with Elwen Rowlands (Vera) producing.


A breadboard is optional, but I chose to use one to save time.
Start by adding two wires to the leads of a mono jack. This will be the input of your transmitter.
Next we add the first two wires of our audio transformer. Connect the red and white leads of the transformer to the mono jack.
The blue and green leads need to be connected to the breadboard and will later be connected to the laser. The middle black lead will not lead to anything, so it's best to wrap a piece of electrical tape around it, as I have done.
Next we add the laser. The green lead of the transformer connects to the negative lead of the laser, and the positive lead of the laser leads to the positive lead of the battery. If everything is connected properly, you should be able to turn your laser on. This is the completed transmitter.
Now that the transmitter is built, you can use it. Simply connect an audio source (such as a CD player) to the mono jack and turn on the laser. The modulations of current produced by the audio device causes the laser to modulate accordingly. It will get slightly dimmer and brighter, depending on the music. However, this is very difficult to detect by the human eye, and it isn't particularly useful. In order to make the circuit useful, we need build a reciever.
The reciever is the easiest part. Connect your second mono jack to the solar resistor and battery. You can even place it on the same breadboard, as I have. Just make sure you keep the circuits seperate.
As stated before, connect an audio source to the first mono jack (the one connected to the laser) and turn the laser on. Connect the other jack to a reciever (such as an amp or the mic. port of your computer) and aim the laser at the solar resistor. The light modulation of the laser are reversed on the reciever and converted back into sound.
Instead of using a battery and solar resistor, you could just use a small solar panel. However, these are more expensive and tend to break more easily.
Theory: It may be possible to bounce the laser of glass behind which a conversation is occuring (such as a window) and pick up the sounds on the reciever, but I've yet to test it. Please let me know if anyone has tried this or has a better way to do this.
Hello m8, I got some LM386 amps (IC ship, very cheap on eaby if anyone interested), I am wondering if i can use those instead of the physical transformer amplifiers. I mean the basic goal of amplifying signals is achieved. It would reduce the size of my project and would be cheaper. Thanks.
Where can I find audio amplifiers?? where can it find it most?
Oh Boy! This reminds me of a funny happening. When in college, my classmate had done this very project at home. One early morning he brought it to the college's electronics lab to show off.
The electronics lab is soundproof, so we should not actually hear the morning prayer which is loudly sung using a loudspeaker. But on that day, we did hear it faintly! We guessed the door was not completely closed. Anyways, with respect for the prayer, we all stood up. After a while our ears were able to finally locate the sound and realize the door was closed after all. The prayers were coming from the reciever!
What actually happened completely stunned us! The college used a loudspeaker/amplifier which induced the signals strongly back into the lighting power supply. It was a cloudy day, and we had switched on the lights in the electronics lab. So we got the "signal" that was being "transmitted" by the speaker/amplifier !
thats pretty funny how clear was the sound?
It sounded a slightly muffled .. but clearer than how it would sound if the glass door was justa bit open.
Oh boy .. this must be the slowest conversation ever .. 2006 article - 2009 comment . 2011 reply and 2014 re-reply!
I can't seem to find a solar resistor anywhere. Where can I get one?
where can i get AUDIO TRANSFORMER at home?what are the appliances using audio transformers?
I began this project a while ago (have yet to finish) and I found one at Radio Shack for around $2.70. The catalog number is 273-1380. Good Luck!
I tried this experiment. Everytime I tried, my laser is weakening and losing strength. Sound is not trasmitting. If I connect directly to speakers from Audio and battery it's working. I lost few lasers so far $15 energizer and couple of regular lasers. Can you please help?
instead of using a single laser, could this function with many LED's?
I built a laser pointer modulator many years ago using a power FET instead of a transformer. I biased the gate using a voltage divider with one leg being a potentiometer. The audio was coupled in through a capacitor (0.22 microF). With no signal, the bias was set to have the laser partially on. Then the audio modulation was in a fairly linear part of the laser diode's I-V characteristic. The resulting audio is very high fidelity when picked up by a good photodiode. FYI, the power FET came from Radio Shack, but they no longer carry it.
can u replace the audio trans. with something?
If I connect the transformer with the lower ohm side being the laser side, what differences would it make?
I am using a phototransitor and the receiver doesn't work. I don't know if it could be the laser. Is there any special laser that will work great with this project. On another topic: other than radioshack, is there any other good store to get my electrical components from even if it is a web store?
Without knowing more specific details about your problem, I would venture to guess that it's not the laser. Any general purpose laser should do. I find it more likely that you don't have something hooked up correctly. As far as an electronics store, online is probably your best bet. I like Jameco, but Digikey is also a good and popular supply company.
What laser did you use?

Re: What's your Least Favorite Pagan Holiday -- And Why?
If I do decide to do anything in honour of the date then I go by the old calendar which does seem to fit the switch of season better. I don't have much affinity with Fraidd so the other associations don't resonate either.
Ostara. Even as a kid, I didn't care for Easter. In my pagan years, I just couldn't find a shift at that time of the year as strong as on any other holiday. Now, with my newly discovered emphasis on the Passion before the Resurrection, I think I can gain some better perspective.
The Lemuria. Hands down the creepiest holiday(s!), and the one actually gives me a bit of a scare.
It's a Roman holiday, a purification ritual and sort of exorcism that takes place in the dark at midnight.
Non-pagan holidays, I can't stand Valentine's Day or Saint Patrick's Day. They're just so...commercialized, and it just grosses me out. I mean, I know that all holidays are commercialized, but at least the ones like Christmas and Thanksgiving hold some meaning for me. Those holidays, at least, make me think of my family and memories, while Valentine's Day and Saint Patrick's Day just make me think of pudgy, naked flying children and little green leprechauns.
what is your least favorite Pagan holiday? The (fairly important) holiday in your religion that you just can't get into celebrating like you believe you should? Why is this holiday a problem for you?
The Beautiful Reunion celebrating the marriage of Hetharu and Heru Wer.
I don't really honor either deity. My relationship with Hetharu is complicated. I think She's awesome, but Aset is my Hetharu so honoring Hetharu feels weird.
I'd have to say the Thesmophoria.
I'm male so it's not my festival at all -- or I'd agree with you.
Back when I was Wiccish, I'd say that Lammas was my least favorite... as in, I thought it was boring and didn't get it. Funny that I can totally appreciate it now that I'm a solid recon.
As far as old Yucatec holidays, there was one that was documented by Bishop de Landa that was a 5 day festival for Kukulcan that I have no interest in partaking in. For one, Kukulcan was a transplant carried down by the Toltecs (Itzas) (they brought Tlaloc with them as well), who is far more well-known by his original Nahua name, Quetzalcoatl. I respect the god/lord, just as I respect his other aspects, but Toltec culture is something I just can't really appreciate from this POV. The structure of the festival itself is something that I don't quite understand either... there's probably something that was lost in translation from when it was handed down from invader to invaded.
For me, it would be Ostara/Eostre/Whatever-the-heck-you-want-to-call-it, because I just don't feel like celebrating spring when there's still snow on the ground.
For secular-ish holidays, I'd say St. Patrick's Day (if I hear another rendition of "When Irish Eyes are Smiling" I will strangle the singer!). Despite being single, I don't mind Singles Awareness Day Valentines Day, because everyone gets chocolate in my house on that day, and my parents are embarrassingly affectionate every day of the year anyways.
I don't celebrate any holidays at the moment, but back when I was doing the wheel of the year, it would have been the equinoxes. [sp?] I just never felt anything special about those days.
I only celebrate (that is give it actual importance within the framework I'm building up) one religious holiday so I don't have much to choose from.
I was never one to give much thought to the holidays, anyway. I spent most of my pagan years as a Hellenic Recon and never celebrated any Hellenic holiday. Hell, I can't even name one which goes to show the extent I thought they were unimportant to how I do things. It was a different story back when I was Wiccish where I actually celebrated the holidays, although only two resonated with me (Samhain and Yule -- today the Winter Solstice is the only religious holiday I celebrate).
I honestly have a hard time getting into the "summer spirit." Something about summer just completely drains my focus and energy levels. So, the holidays beginning from the spring equinox to the summer solstice don't often get as much attention as the others.
Don't feel bad, I hate summer. Even when I was a kid and loved having school off I hated summer. I'm more of a fall/spring person (probably why I ended up born in November). Still currently trying to figure out how my holiday calendar is supposed to work, so I currently hate all holidays because they're making themselves difficult to celebrate lmao Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving are tricky because I enjoy the holidays themselves but not all the people and crowding that come with it. Always hard on the concentration in church too, especially last year when I was really losing interest in remaining a Christian.
I'm with Vale on this one. Really, any holiday in the late winter/early spring hereabouts doesn't do much for me. The weather is gray, cool (cold), rainy, and just plain grim right up until mid-June. Every now and then we'll get a pleasant Beltane, but even that's pretty rare. I do enjoy making candles on Imbolc-ish, but that's because it's so dark and gloomy then.
Yule Trees and Holiday Decorations!

Teen icon Justin Bieber overcame a bout of sickness while performing to a sold-out crowd on the latest leg of his 45-city Believe tour in the United States, it has been reported.
The 18-year-old pop star was caught on camera vomiting twice on stage during a performance at the Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, on the outskirts of Los Angeles, California. A video then surfaced on KTVK-TV's website, showing the Canadian leaving the stage after each episode.
Although the singer returned to finish his set and even completed an encore the bout of road sickness offers a reminder to people travelling away from home to arrange medical travel insurance before jetting off.
Fans reportedly sung some of his best-selling hits while the nauseous star took a breather. Bieber later reassured his adoring fans with Tweets that read: "Great show. Getting better for tomorrow's show!!! Love u."


This lovely book describes itself as "a new translation accompanying a facsimile of 'Cook, der Entdecker. Versuch eines Denkmals' being a memoir of Captain Cook written by Georg Forster. First published in Berlin in 1787"
It is very easy to criticise a book and appear to be negative when you want to be positive, and this is no exception. The book starts with the essay "After The Fall - George Forster and the image of Captain Cook" by Dr. Nigel Erskine, which discusses the text of the book, the relationship between the Forsters and Cook and how it appears to have changed following Cook's death; the relationship between them and other members of the expedition; and how John Reinhold Forster appeared to be "short-changed" by the Admiralty when publishing his works. This essay is then followed by "Cook, der Entdecker", a facsimile of the original German publication, the Translator's Note, and then "Cook, the Discoverer", a translation into English. I felt the essay should have been positioned at the end of the book as it discusses items the reader has not yet had the opportunity to read in the text.
Having discussed my only negative criticism, let me look at the more positive aspects.
Georg Forster did not intend this to be a biography, but a different perspective by which to view Cook's deeds. Because this work is an appreciation and not a chronological diary of events, I had to keep thinking (not a bad idea!) about which voyage Forster was referring to when he was discussing his thoughts.
The writing is more of a philosophical analysis of Cook and how he achieved his great standing in the eighteenth century. Forster also confirms the idea that Cook had the ambition to get to the top and used his not inconsiderable talents to get there. He also confirms Cook's talent as a teacher, instructing in the art of navigation and surveying. He notes that Cook was generally the best estimator of distances after they had been confirmed by calculation.
At times Forster seems to ramble on, making me wonder what he is trying to tell me, but eventually he gets to the point. Perhaps it was the style of the day. He makes some very relevant comments, some of which I was partially aware of, but did not understand why. This book enabled me to understand not only some of the measures Cook took, but also the planning and forethought before the expeditions set sail.
A prime example of this was the "watch". At the time both the Royal and Merchant Navies split the crew into two, so that half of the crew would be on duty, whilst the other half was resting. The day was split into seven watches, two of two hours and five of four hours, so that the crew would work all of the watches in two days. Cook altered this to three watches, which gave the crew a longer recuperation period between watches. Whereas the Navy usually assigned one lieutenant and two midshipmen for a ship of the size of Resolution, Cook was assigned three lieutenants and six midshipmen. Consequently, Cook could send shore parties out without stripping the ship of all of its officers.
Forster also conjectures as to whether or not New Holland was an island or a continent. He then proceeds to call it a continent. Is this the first use of New Holland being called a continent? The translation carries marginal notes to help us understand references to Greek mythology and the works of contemporary scientists that all scholars of that time would have understood.
In conclusion, the book is relatively expensive, but beautifully presented with kangaroo leather binding. The book almost shouts at you "Read me!" It is very readable, but needs to be read once to get the flavour of it and then again, quite carefully, to bring home the salient points. I was amazed at how much I had not taken in when I started to re-read it.

Blocked by school censors from sharing a thoughtful discussion of mental-health issues in the pages of the Community High School student newspaper, two Ann Arbor, Mich., teens were forced instead to settle for The New York Times and NPR's "Weekend Edition."
Proving once again that censorship is gasoline on the flame of a powerful idea, journalists Madeline Halpert and Eva Rosenfeld talked with NPR's Scott Simon today about how they were prevented from publishing a column examining the effects of depression on teens and why it's so hard for them to talk about.
Halpert was one of several students who agreed, with written parental permission, to be named in a story confronting the stigma surrounding mental illness that can, with tragic consequences, deter people struggling with depression from seeking professional help.

AHEAD OF THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE THE NIGERIAN…
As we celebrate the international day of peace, we appeal to the Nigerian government to increase the use of dialogue in internal agitations and conflict resolution and by so doing, develop a sense of joint ownership of the process and become stakeholders in identifying new approaches to address common challenges
Nigeria has experienced a high rate of conflict and civil agitations in recent times. From the insurgency in the northeast where several Nigerian citizens have been killed and others left internally displaced to poor governance, human rights abuses and human rights violations, uneven development, environmental degradation to military invasion of states in the northeast to quell the "insurrection." The number of violent conflicts increases daily as the government sometimes adopts a posture that shows an unwillingness to engage in dialogue to transform societies and find real solutions to the country's most complex challenges.
As the world comes together to show its commitment to peace, the Nigerian Coalition for the International Criminal Court urges the Nigerian Government to increase the use of dialogue in internal agitations and conflict resolution in Nigeria.
Goal 16 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is dedicated to the promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, and the provision of access to justice for all. It is high time that our leaders explore the use of dialogue as a means of resolving internal agitations in the country in other to achieve peace.
Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, practicing a democratic system of government should desist from unusual use of force in addressing internal issues. We as a nation are binded by international obligations and as such should explore reasonable measures to resolve conflicts rather than resort to force at the slightest opportunity. The UN secretary general António Guterres today while addressing the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations Headquarters, announced the creation of a high-level advisory board on mediation. He stressed the need for "a surge in diplomacy today" and "a leap in conflict prevention for tomorrow," he said that it is possible to move from war to peace and from dictatorship to democracy. Dialogue is crucial to the maintenance of peace and security and could promote reconciliation in the aftermath of conflict and could also introduce moderate voices into polarized debates," he added; "At a time when prejudice and hatred are all too common, when extremists seek new recruits through incitement and identity-based appeal, when politicians use divisiveness as a strategy to win elections — dialogue can be an antidote."
It is our believe that if the leaders of this great country employ adequate use of dialogue then it will be unnecessary to deploy the military to the east to cause unrest and acts of genocide. Neither will there be a need for the operation python/crocodile dances amongst others.

Nice piece dear Naomi.
Let's narrow this down to the recent happening in our Country. IPOB as a case study. Recently vanguard news reported that Member of house of Reps representing Warri federal Constituency called for dialogue as the activities of IPOB is spreading.
Will dialogue help? Considering how the IPOB spokesman goes about with the whole issue.
I agree with u completely..and I think we should go a step further to not only dialogue put implement and carry out concessions and obligations created therefrom
If we only dialogue and just go right back to status quo, it doesn't help us, the situations remain and escalate and the dialoguing parties loose faith in the ability to resolve their disputes through dialogue.

Lil Uzi Vert Releases The Trippy "Free Uzi" Music Video
Lil Uzi Vert is back!
Lil Uzi Vert's been quite vocal about his frustrations with his label, Generation Now. The rapper kicked off the "Free Uzi" campaign after alleging that DJ Drama and Don Cannon have been preventing him from releasing Eternal Atake. Thankfully, Jay-Z came through with some assistance and signed Uzi to a management deal with Roc Nation. After releasing his latest single "Free Uzi" earlier in the day, he returns with the official music video.
Lil Uzi Vert returns with the incredibly trippy visuals to his single, "Free Uzi." The rapper's latest visual is filled with psychedelic effects while the rapper shows off his dance moves in a corner store and in an empty hallway. The "Free Uzi" visual wouldn't have been complete without Nav who has been one of the biggest supporters of the #FreeUzi campaign.
"Free Uzi" serves as the rapper's first single since 2018's "New Patek." The visual serves as the first video he's released since releasing "The Way Life Goes (Remix)" with Nicki Minaj.

Saudi Led States to Continue Blocked of Qatar, Response in 'A Timely Manner' Cairo Meeting Announced
(various News Media)
The foreign ministers of the four Arab countries issued on Wednesday evening a statement after their meeting in Cairo that Doha's response to their demands was "not serious and lack any substance".
Foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt met after receiving Doha's response to their list of demands.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri told reporters at a joint news conference in Cairo that Qatar's response was "generally negative" and failed to "lay the foundation for Qatar's reversal of the policies it pursues."
He also described Doha's response as a "position that reflects a failure to realise the gravity of the situation."
Earlier on Wednesday, the four countries said they would respond "in a timely manner."
The countries did not elaborate what steps they could take, although a major credit rating agency warned it had changed Qatar's economic outlook to negative over the turmoil.
The four countries had cut ties with Qatar over its foreign policies. They accused Doha of supporting extremist groups and having relations with Iran.
The nations issued a 13-point list of demands on June 22, giving Qatar 10 days to comply. They later extended the deadline by another 48 hours at the request of Kuwait, which has acted as a mediator to resolve the crisis. That deadline expired early Wednesday morning.
Later in the day, foreign ministers from the four Arab countries met in Cairo to discuss their next move.
They announced that their talks on the Qatari crisis will continue, and that they will hold another meeting in Manama. No date for the meet was announced.
Late on Tuesday, Egypt's state-run Mena news agency reported intelligence agency chiefs from those countries had met in Cairo, likely discussing the crisis.
What Qatar said in response to the demands remains unclear. It already had called the demands, which include shutting down its Al Jazeera satellite news network, expelling Turkish military forces based in the country and paying restitution, as framed to be rejected.
The crisis has become a global concern. On Tuesday, German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel visited officials in both the UAE and Qatar. He said Germany supported the UAE's efforts at confronting those who fund extremists.
"We have to come back to common work at the GCC and for the Europeans this is a very important matter. For us, the GCC is the guarantor of stability and security in the region."
Shaikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, kept up the pressure on Qatar in his own remarks to journalists. "To defeat terrorism, we must confront extremism, we must confront hate speech, we must confront the harbouring and sheltering of extremists and terrorists, and funding them," Shaikh Abdullah said. "Unfortunately, we in this region see that our sister nation of Qatar has allowed and harboured and encouraged all of this."
"Enough is enough," he added.
Qatar's Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman AlThani said yesterday in a press conference in presence of German Foreign Minister that four Arab nations are trying to isolate Qatar.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman AlThani pointed out that the State of Qatar rejects imposing guardianship from any country, but at the same time is ready to engage in dialogue and discuss the demands of the siege countries, indicating that the State of Qatar has stated this several times, but in return, the siege countries kept issuing negative statements.
Regardless of that, the efforts of dialogue must be continuous and in accordance with a clear framework between all parties, not based on threats and escalation against any state, and must be based on the principle of equality between the countries which is highlighted in the Charter of the United Nation', Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar told local & international media yesterday in Doha.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman AlThani had earlier reacted on 13 points demands to Qatar by blocked countries as 'unrealistic and not actionable.'

Trieste, the city of fashion
TheMuse August 15, 2015 0 Comment
Most people love Italy and it's dolce vita. One of the special cities is called Trieste. Did you know that Trieste play host to the International Talent Support Contest? It's all about fashion and the award celebrates the most promising talents in fashion design. It's always worth checking out to keep up with new trends. Below a story that talks more about it:
For a few days every year in July, Trieste is one of the most important places on the planet to discover the next best thing in the world of fashion design.
Since launching in 2002, the International Talent Support (ITS) contest has invited students from 70 countries — spanning a network of nearly 1000 schools and universities — to compete for a breadth of awards, celebrating not just clothes, but jewelery, accessories and, for the first time this year, art.
"This is all about young creativity," says ITS director Barbara Franchin. "They're the future, so of course we must offer them friendship and support."
Being a fashion event, no one is ever more than a few feet away from a poised camera-phone, and so the highlights are a dish best served on social media…
Sculptures as thin as a hair


UK supplement firm pH Health is flaunting a ruling that found its health claims for calcium, chlorophyll and other supplements were baseless.
The firm had not responded to ASA enquiries (nor ours) and continued to make barred claims on its website under the EU nutrition and health claims regulation (NHCR) today.
The ASA said the claims were "general" and not backed by specific claims as stipulated in the NHCR and therefor in breach of the ASA advertising code.
Concern about abuse of such anecdotal claims was one of the reasons the NHCR was established in 2007, after consumer groups and parliamentarians across the EU raised objections.
The company was also making unauthorised probiotic claims. The ASA can recommend criminal prosecution if its rulings are not obeyed where fines and harsher penalties could result.
The full list of NHCR authorised and non-authorised health claims is here.

Movebubble Makes Renting Suck Less
Jordan Crook	@jordanrcrook / 4 years
If you've lived in a big city where renting (versus owning) is a popular option for residents, then you likely know the endless struggle of trying to find a place to live. The listings that often intrigue you are no longer available, and in London, around 50 percent of listings posted to websites are stale, left only for marketing and data capture purposes.
Movebubble, a company launching today on stage at Disrupt London, aims to solve this problem for renters.
The app pairs users with available properties while hiding their personal data from brokers. Not only does Movebubble ensure that every listing you're sent is actually available (and not already rented), but the app actually analyzes the user's behavior to ensure that each listing they are shown is relevant to their tastes and needs.
Beyond that, users can schedule a viewing from right within the app, and Movebubble says that it saves an average of 20 hours of research and search for each renter that uses the platform. While brokers are still the ones listing properties on Movebubble, the company analyzes each listing to ensure that it's still available to rent, which is something that other listing aggregators fail to do.
Movebubble plans to make money through a freemium model, letting users view listings, schedule viewings and search the site for free, paying a small fee for securing the listing through the app.
Traditionally in London, agents market properties through rental portals and newspaper listings on behalf of the landlord. In other words, the landlord is the agent's customer, charging between 10 percent and 14 percent of the rental transaction. On the other side, the agent charges a flatter fee (around £250) to arrange the rental.
Currently, Movebubble doesn't interfere with these fees, but rather acts as an agent that works on behalf of the renter, instead of the other way around. This doesn't actually exist in the London rental market except on the very high-end of the spectrum.
Movebubble says it has attracted more than 1,500 sign-ups in the past six weeks of beta testing, and will be targeting first-time movers and international relocations to acquire new users. The company has raised £1.35m in angel and seed funding, with plans to raise a Series A round in the new year.
You can check out Movebubble for yourself here.
Q: How have you solved the problem of knowing when rental properties are still available?
A: This is a massive problem in the industry. There are so many property listings unavailable when a renter picks up a phone. We solve this by working directly with the agents along with a combination of manual vetting of properties.
Q: When there are multiple agents on a property, how does the app decide which agent to give the listing to?
A: This isn't a problem we're solving for now, as we haven't run into it very often. But it's something we'll have to look into in the future.
Q: There are probably other people building this service. How is this defensible?
A: We've got partnerships with big employers in London, targeting their own employees to use the platform. We've built interesting IP around learning really detailed information around how many listings someone wants to look at, and what type. We've also got an amazing team at Movebubble who are passionate about solving this problem and putting the renter at the heart of everything we do. It's hard to copy that.

your first question makes little sense, but i gather you were asking whether or not Xemnas had sent his members to look for Ven's room in Castle Oblivion. the answer is yes. but you see, the castle doesn't allow you to get to it unless you know exactly where to go. and the sad thing is, sora and company came by before they probably had a chance to look around.
and Xemnas is the apprentice of ansem. Xemnas' somebody is Xehanort. And Xehanort is Terra with Master Xehanort's heart taking over him. At the beginning of them merging together, they were always fighting and eventually they sort of melded together and Xehanort wasn't able to remember much, or he didn't reveal much, so he was taken in as an apprentice. eventually, he remembered everything and so that's how the organization began.
Actually he needs Aqua herself. You see Castle Oblivion, or rather it's true form, Land of Departure is guarded by what the DDD glossary called the "true successor" among keyblade masters.
The prior was Eraqus who then chose Aqua as the next. That's why only she was told of how to change LoD to CO and that's why Eraqus & Aqua only knows the inner workings of it.
At current only Aqua can find the room Ventus is in and change it back with Masters Keeper. That's why even Xemnas himself who was made from a mix of Terra, MX and Eraqus only knew of the room but couldn't reach it.
Basically. First they find Aqua>she leads them to Ven>Sora wakes Ven>they move onto Terra or another character in torment.
He likely will. Nearly every game so far has ended on a sad note and if it's hinted Roxas, Xion, and even Namine will comeback then I don't see why Terra can't.
Given the ending of DDD it would seem MX is in his old body again anyway so all they'd have to do is free Terra of the MX-seed.
Before I make thread about my questions. Since we're in the topic here. If King Mickey knew about the Master Xehanort. Why didn't he felt threaten that a "Xehanort" was an apprentice for Ansem the Wise when he informed Ansem that he wanted to work continue working on the heartless from that KH2 scene?
Well he mentions in DDD that he "had hoped that their [TAV] sacrifice had stopped you [MX] for good". So storywise it was likely denial.
On a higher scope though? Just a hole in the writing. It wouldn't be the first time KH2 or the series dialogue had hiccups.
Mickey never met Terra, or MX (I think); and AX looked nothing like the old man MX was supposed to be, he also acted differently ... So he just assumed it was a pretty common name I guess?
He was still suspicious of the guy in that cutscene (of course), but the only common thing between MX and AX is the name.
Never played Birth by Sleep. Although I do remember watching a scene where Mickey was knocked out and was found by Ventus. Mickey was also watching the battle in the Keyblade Graveyard. So he had to know something about Master Xehanort.
And in DDD, Mickey seemed to forget that Ansem possessed Riku (and that he never told Yen Sid about it) so it looks like they made Mickey forgetting the important stuff part of his character now.
The name alone should've at least been a reason for peaked curiosity though.
Hopefully that's more to do with script than actual character. Forgetting Ansem stole Riku's body is understandable to me since Riku made it out alright.
I never played DDD (I watched a walkthrough though ... a long time ago), so care to elaborate? (as in where is that forgetfulness portrayed) How is that information important to DDD's plot? And why should he tell Yen Sid about it?
things that far in advance?
Yen Sid: No, as a matter of fact, I do not.
It's important because it was in that instant that Yen Sid and Mickey realized that a version of Xehanort, Ansem, was there on the islands when it fell giving him an opening to follow Riku & Sora.
However, that piece of information didn't seem relevant until Yen Sid pointed it out. And it's not like Mickey forgot ... But yeah, the plot demanded it anyway.
Nah Mickey didn't really forgot it's just the info didn't seem important till that moment, when they realized Xehanort did indeed discard his body and was there on the islands.
DDD's plot demanded a lot lol. I find it funny so much was explained in a game for once yet so many don't notice.


Hyphae is the new collection from Nervous Systsem a a design studio that works at the intersection of science, art, and technology. by using innovative process that employs computer simulation to generate designs and digital fabrication to realize products.
Hyphae is collection of 3D printed artifacts constructed of rhizome-like networks. Inspired by the vein structures that carry fluids through organisms from the leaves of plants to our own circulatory systems, we created a simulation which uses physical growth principles to build sculptural, organic structures. Starting from an initial seed and a surface, we grow a hierarchical network where nodes constantly branch and merge. The densely interconnected structure is at once airy and strong.
