Breathe 2: Into The Shadows Brings Abhishek Bachchan Back With A Bang
Amazon Prime Series, News, Stars | July 8, 2020 | | by Subhash K Jha
For all of us who have been missing Abhishek Bachchan on-sceen, he was last seen in Manmarziyanin 2018, it's time to breathe easy. AB Jr returns in Breathe 2 which seems to carry forward an interesting cinematic legacy: of a father searching for his missing daughter. The classic in that genre is the Kamal Haasan Tamil classic Mahanadhi where the father's search is so poignant and harrowing it was for me almost unbearable to watch.
Breathe 2: Into The Shadows casts Abhishek as a father, a psychiatrist, searching for his missing daughter.From the trailer, the treatment seems taut and perky. With the camera constantly on the prowl, there doesn't seem to be a single idle moment in the storytelling.
I just hope the pace is not going so frenetic as to smother the storytelling in dramatic tension.
I hope Breathe 2 allows the characters to breathe. It is interesting that the first Breathe season was about a father who would go to any lengths to save his son's life. The actor playing the father Madhavan was the father of a son in real life. And now the actor playing the missing daughter's father is a doting daddy to a daughter in real too.
Abhishek says he somewhere connected very deeply with the part of a father who will do anything to save his daughter's life. This is his most personal role ever. And Abhishek immerses himself with a calm intensity in bringing the father 's anguish to life. He has great support in the very lovely Nithya Menen who should be seen more often and Amit Sadh who is one of the underrated actors of Bollywood.
But you won't hear Sadh complaining. He is too busy working to be whining.

Q: How to print char value in int array I have an array board[3][3] of type int. I want to show 8 numbers and on the last place "_" must be shown. I don't know how to do that. Please help

A: If the 8 numbers you want print is the first 8, you can just use a loop to with printf to print it until the last number:
int j, k;
for (j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
    for (k = 0; k < 3; k++) {
        if (j == 2 && k == 2)
            printf("_");
        else
            printf("%d ", board[j][k]);
    }
    printf("\n");

Hyundai Takes High Performance Approach To Super Bowl Xlvi Marketing Campaign
201201300000 No. 333
HYUNDAI TAKES HIGH PERFORMANCE APPROACH
TO SUPER BOWL XLVI MARKETING CAMPAIGN
Hyundai Tackles Big Game with Five Spots Spanning Pre-game, Pre-kick and In-game Ads
COSTA MESA, Calif., Jan. 30, 2012 – Hyundai, in its fifth consecutive year as a Super Bowl advertiser, will launch five total game-day ads on February 5, including two pre-game spots, one in the highly rated pre-kick time slot and two ads slated for in-game air time. The general theme of the day focuses on elements that drive the Hyundai brand and culture, with the two in-game ads highlighting performance characteristics – bolstering a brand attribute that Hyundai doesn't often emphasize. The campaign features interactive and digital content throughout, including outtakes, online extensions and social media engagement to extend the reach of the program. Creative was developed by Hyundai's agency of record, Innocean Worldwide Americas.
"Cheetah ," a 30-second spot slated for the first quarter, features a caged cheetah set to race a new 201-horsepower Veloster Turbo on a long stretch of open road. The car launches and the cage opens, but just a few yards into the race, the cat realizes he's met his match as the car speeds ahead. The competitive cheetah then takes his frustration out on his handler. View the spot here: http://www.youtube.com/hyundaiUSA?x=us_game_6728 .
"Think Fast ," a 30-second spot slated for the fourth quarter of the game, introduces a character that will star in Hyundai's social media efforts named Bob. In this vignette, a young professional is driving his boss, Bob, a seasoned business pro, in his Genesis Coupe R-Spec. Bob is about to deliver a pearl of wisdom when he falls unconscious. The young driver hits the brakes hard, then throws his Genesis Coupe into drive repeatedly, generating enough force to revive Bob, at which time he delivers his piece of advice unphased by his apparent health scare. View the spot here: http://www.youtube.com/hyundaiUSA?x=us_game_6729 .
The audience can see more of "Bob's High-Powered Business Tips" by visiting Hyundai's YouTube Channel (www.YouTube.com/Hyundai ).
"In developing this year's in-game creative, we recognized the brand has built a strong reputation for great value, fuel economy, warranty, safety and quality – all the rational attributes for buying a vehicle. Typically, Hyundai hasn't been top-of-mind with shoppers looking for performance and modern design – attributes that inspire an emotional connection," said Steve, Shannon, vice president of Marketing, Hyundai Motor America. "However, the just-announced Veloster Turbo and restyled Genesis Coupe R-Spec supply the lineup with plenty of performance credentials for a youthful audience looking to complement great design and features with cars that are fun to drive."
Hyundai's Super Bowl commitment includes the coveted pre-kick time slot, literally seconds before the game begins. Hyundai has developed a very important 60-second spot which truly highlights Hyundai's motivation to succeed. The spot, titled "All For One ," reveals what drives Hyundai and its employees to relentlessly pursue making the best products possible.
Hyundai's founding chairman, Chung Ju-Yung, inspired this ad with his regular response when told challenges were too great to overcome. He simply asked: "Have you tried?" Inspired by the words of determination and encouragement, the spot captures the spirit that drives Hyundai. Against the backdrop of an iconic, internationally recognized song ("Gonna Fly Now" from the movie "Rocky" written by Bill Conti, Carol Connors and Ayn Robbins), Hyundai team members hum and sing along, demonstrating teamwork and encouragement when a co-worker needs a little support.
The ad features almost 200 actual Hyundai team members, trained by a vocal coach, and was filmed at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama , in Montgomery, Ala., which produces more than 300,000 Sonata and Elantra sedans each year. View the spot and "making of" video here: http://www.youtube.com/hyundaiUSA?x=us_game_6727 .
Finally, to round out the game-day lineup, Hyundai will celebrate its 2012 North American Car of the Year victory for Elantra with a new 30-second spot called "Victory Lap ." The Elantra earned the prestigious award from a jury of 50 independent automotive media in early January. "Faster Acting " showcases the new 429-horsepower Genesis R-Spec sedan and furthers the theme of performance which bridges the pre-game spots with the in-game ads.

The Slyfox family talks about their unforgettable first cruise aboard the world's largest ship.
Taking a cruise for the very first time might seem intimidating, but when you're traveling with Royal Caribbean, it's anything but. From making sure every detail of your vacation is taken into account to guaranteeing your shore excursions go off without a hitch, the goal is to make your trip as easy (and exciting!) as possible. And once you're on board, activities and entertainment are endless.
Every guest can have their dream vacation, whatever that looks like. Just ask The Slyfox Family: The popular YouTube foursome cruised for the very first time this summer aboard our newest ship, Symphony of the Seas. Hannah, Andrew and their two children, Jaedyn (11) and Caspian (6), took a seven-night European cruise that started in Barcelona and visited Palma de Mallorca, Spain; Marseille, France; and Pisa, Rome and Naples in Italy.
Read on to discover how sailing on Symphony of the Seas changed their perspective on cruising, and watch them slide down the tallest, most thrilling slide at sea!
Q: Tell us about your first impressions of Symphony of the Seas.
Hannah: We were intimidated by cruising because we had never been on a ship before. As we drove up to Symphony in Barcelona I thought, Holy cow this is massive! I didn't know if the ship was going to feel super packed or like we were on a giant floating hotel. But it wasn't like that at all. Symphony is large enough that everybody can disperse and go their own way, and there were so many things to do, from waterslides and kid-friendly pools to original productions and even ice skating. We never once felt crowded. Overall, there was this great sense of adventure on board, and we all walked away from the vacation asking each other when we could take another cruise with Royal Caribbean.
Q: What assumptions about cruises did you have prior to boarding, and how did Symphony challenge them?
Andrew: I pictured the staterooms being really tiny with just a little porthole, but our accommodations were pretty amazing. We had a balcony overlooking the sea where we loved to watch the sunset. Also, we were pleasantly surprised to learn Royal Caribbean offers laundry service, too—that was so helpful.
Jaedyn and Caspian were obsessed with the towel animals left by housekeeping every day, too. They insisted on keeping them on display and wouldn't let us use them!
I had some stereotypes about what cruises were like: That the guests would be older, and the food wouldn't be great, but those things couldn't be farther from the truth. We ate so well, literally every single day, and there were so many young families on board.
Hannah: I really appreciated how much there was to do on the ship, and how many avenues we could take. Royal Caribbean gave us the ability to choose what type of vacation we wanted to have. We could chill by the pool if we felt jet-lagged or we could pack our day with activities. It was amazing to have the ability to craft our days just the way we wanted.
Q: We're glad to hear you liked the food! What were your favorite restaurants?
Andrew: Chops Grille was our favorite. It was incredible that we could have high-quality steaks and Maine lobster on a ship. We also loved the grab-and-go options at El Loco Fresh. It was super fast, easy and delicious—all of which are so important when you're traveling with kids! We ate there multiple times.
Q: Speaking of there being so much to do, tell us about your favorite activity on board.
Hannah: Hands down, the Ultimate Abyss Slide. I had never seen or experienced anything like it before, ever. I was nominated to go down first. It was so much fun. There were lights and noises, too, which made the whole experience so cool and one of a kind.
Andrew: The Ultimate Abyss was a ton of fun. Even for me as a grown man it was seriously impressive because it's huge! I loved it, and I was excited that our daughter Jaedyn had an opportunity to go down, too. We wanted her to step out of her comfort zone and try something new, and it was more fun than she ever could have thought.
Q: Let's talk about your time on land. What city did you enjoy visiting most?
Hannah: My favorite place was Florence. We had originally planned to tour the city with the group, but decided to stay in the main square, take family photos and shop at all the little local stores. It felt like we were in a movie. It was just so cool and special. The four of us felt like we got lost in the city, in the best possible way.
Q: How about shore excursions?
Hannah: We all loved exploring Rome. The kids thought it was wild that they could enter the Colosseum the same way the gladiators once did. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the history of the space, and it gave me peace of mind to have a designated, seasoned traveler who would keep us on schedule and get us back to the ship on time. To have that type of support in a foreign country when you're traveling with kids was a weight off our shoulders and a huge plus of traveling with Royal Caribbean.
Q: Any words of wisdom for first-time cruisers?
Hannah: My number one tip is if you're traveling internationally, give yourself an extra day to get acclimated to the time change so you can take advantage of everything the ship has to offer. There's just so much to explore on board, and you'll regret losing a whole day to jet lag. Next, if a destination is new to you, stick to the guided excursions rather than go at it alone. You get to see so much with Royal Caribbean's team of experts.
Ready to book your first cruise? Head here to explore all the thrills in store aboard Symphony of the Seas.
The Slyfox family sailed with Royal Caribbean as part of a paid partnership.

Heavy snow, ice, and extreme cold. On Jan. 29-31, a winter storm engulfed much of the Eastern U.S. At least 22 people were killed as air temperatures in parts of the Upper Midwest were colder than -50°F (-45.6°C) with a recorded wind chill temperature of -54°C (-65°F).

1 December is World AIDS Day, highlighting the fight against this global pandemic. AIDS, or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, has killed over 39 million people worldwide since 1981, and some 35 million people are currently estimated to be living with the disease.
AIDS is considered a major challenge of modern public health – indeed, World AIDS Day was the first global health day and has been held every year since 1988. Since 2011, the theme has been 'Getting to Zero', referring to the World Health Organisation's joint goals of 'Zero new HIV infections. Zero deaths from AIDS-related illness. Zero discrimination'.
AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV is a lentivirus, a group of viruses that cause long-term, chronic diseases with long incubation periods. HIV infects cells such as CD4+ cells that are part of the human immune system, reducing their number and rendering the body increasingly susceptible to infection. As a result, other illnesses and cancers, such as tuberculosis or HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma, occur more frequently as the disease progresses.
There are two types of HIV, both of which are thought to have spread to humans from monkeys and apes. They are mutations of the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV), which has existed for over 30,000 years. Two strains of SIV that infect chimpanzees and sooty mangabeys, respectively, mutated to infect humans in the early 20th century; these mutations are known as HIV subtype 1 and 2, respectively. Subtype 1 is by far the more widespread and virulent, although many HIV tests also test for subtype 2.
The initial stage of HIV infection is called acute retroviral syndrome. It tends to occur in the first few weeks after infection and usually involves flu-like symptoms. As the infection progresses, common signs include swollen lymph nodes, weight loss and frequent fevers or diarrhoea. The most advanced stage of HIV infection is known as AIDS; at this stage, severe diseases such as tuberculosis and meningitis become increasingly likely and life expectancy decreases rapidly.
HIV can be transmitted via sexual contact, exposure to infected blood, or from mother to child during pregnancy, birth or breastfeeding. Other bodily fluids such as saliva, sweat, tears or vomit cannot cause infection unless they are contaminated with blood.
The most frequent mode of HIV transmission is through unprotected sex with an infected person. Worldwide, the majority of infections occur as a result of heterosexual contact, although men who have sex with men (MSM) tend to be proportionally more at risk in high-income countries. For example, nearly two thirds of new HIV infections in the USA in 2009 were in MSM.
Blood-borne infection can result from needle-sharing for intravenous drug use and injections or blood transfusions with unsterilised equipment. Transfusions of infected blood are a particularly important risk factor, with over 90% of such transfusions resulting in the recipient contracting HIV.
Transmission from mother to child is the least common of the three main modes of transmission. However, it accounts for 9 of every 10 HIV cases in children.
There is currently no known cure or vaccine for AIDS. Depending on how early the disease is diagnosed, it can be managed with a 'cocktail' of drugs called antiretrovirals. These can slow down the progression of the disease to final-stage AIDS and lower the risk of death. They also lower the risk of common HIV-related infections such as tuberculosis and can improve mental and physical well-being.
If antiretroviral drugs are used soon after infection with HIV, patient life expectancies near the national average are possible. This is a significant improvement over the average post-infection survival time for those not taking antiretrovirals, which is estimated to be around 11 years.
Nearly 12 million people were receiving antiretroviral cocktails in low- and middle-income countries in 2013; 750,000 of them children. The treatment of children is lagging behind, with 24% of HIV-positive children receiving treatment compared to 38% of adults.
Condoms are the main weapon in the fight against AIDS, reducing the likelihood of HIV transmission to below 1% per year. Other measures such as spermicides, gels and male circumcision have been reported to reduce transmission rates in sub-Saharan Africa, but condoms – along with large-scale education and counselling programmes – remain by far the dominant measure to stop the HIV pandemic.
Antiretroviral treatment can effectively prevent the transmission of HIV. It can be used as a preventative measure by an infected person, reducing the likelihood of sexual transmission by up to 96%, or by non-infected people to minimise their risk of contracting the virus. Non-infected people can also receive treatment immediately after suspected exposure to HIV.
The risk of HIV being transmitted from mother to child can be minimised – but not eliminated – if the mother receives antiretroviral drugs during pregnancy and her baby receives them in the first 18 months after birth. Over two thirds of HIV-positive mothers and their babies now receive antiviral treatment in low- and middle-income countries, and this statistic is steadily rising.
As of 2013, new HIV infections have declined by a third since 2001 – in children, they have declined by more than half. The availability and cost of antiretroviral therapy in low- and middle-income countries has improved considerably, and the number of AIDS-related deaths has dropped accordingly. These statistics justify the WHO's 'Closing the Gap' theme, a contrast to earlier themes such as 'Children Living in a World with AIDS' or 'I Care. Do You?'.
Each year, the White House commemorates World AIDS Day by hanging a ribbon outside the building. This became the first such symbol to decorate the building since Abraham Lincoln's times. It is thanks to the work of countless people around the world that we are making progress in the fight against AIDS, giving hope to the millions of people living with HIV.

Linda Wang: Beautiful Asian American Hair Celebrity - Latest Scoops
Linda Wang 2006
Courtesy of Linda Wang - All Rights Reserved.
Time flies madly by and I often am shocked to discover that something that happened "only yesterday" was actually years ago. Such was the case when I recently caught up with the very beautiful and talented Asian American actress and hair celebrity - Linda Hsien Wang.
I couldn't believe that it had been over six years since Linda and I had a great interview about her acting career, the fantastic Pantene ads that she shot and her goals to move to California to pursue more film roles.
I was thrilled to receive an email from the busy and very charming actress with her latest phone number and a note to give her a call to "catch up". I picked up the phone and managed to snag a few minutes of her very busy time.
While Linda has enjoyed lots of success with a variety of roles, including appearing on a recent episode of my favorite TV show on Fox - House - she is still working hard to find more challenging roles that test her acting muscle.
Linda's Hair Transitions
One of the first reasons I was initially excited about the tremendous opportunity to chat with Linda in 2000 was because she had been a very well-known Pantene shampoo model.
Of course she was selected for that honor because she has the most breathtakingly beautiful long opal black tresses that cascade into soft shimmering sheets past the middle of her back.
The former Miss Teen Pola Asia (1991) is very petite with sensational skin and big expressive dark eyes. No wonder she won beauty titles in the past.
When I originally chatted with Linda her hair was to the middle of her back and "very very healthy".
One of the first things I asked the lovely Linda was about her hair. After all, this is HairBoutique.com. She reported that even with all her various acting roles her hair is still "very healthy" and "very long". The only difference is that "it has a lot of layers now compared to the way it was back in 2000".
Pursing Acting With Passion And Intensity
When I chat with Linda I am always impressed with her maturity and intense passion for pursuing her acting craft.
The lovely Linda has a beautiful yet husky voice that is unique. Not many young Asian American actresses can communicate so magnificently in both English and Chinese like Linda.
Linda is truly fluent in Mandarin Chinese and is able to read and write the Chinese language with ease. Even Hong Kong actor Tony Leong had to learn to pronounce Mandarin correctly from Linda when he took on a Chinese commercial with the beautiful and talented actress. It turns out that Tony, who is a magnificent actor, speaks Mandarin Chinese with a Cantonese accent.
Linda is poised to explode as an acting force in China since Hollywood is becoming a major point of interest for the Chinese people (who reside across the Pacific Ocean). Linda is Asian American but she is not another Lucy Liu, Michelle Yeo, ZiZi Zhang or Sandra Oh. She is very special in her own right.
Besides her passion for acting, Linda has iron determination. The actress, born under the Venus ruled sign of Libra doesn't take her beauty (or spectacular silky tresses) for granted. In fact, she takes absolutely nothing for granted.
The actress is always pushing the envelope from every single angle trying to reach her goals of snagging that special part that will allow her to display her tremendous acting talents.
As the story goes, Linda recently gently convinced a commercial casting director to alter the role of a Caucasian couple's friend to Asian American. As she was filming the project in San Diego, she tearfully thanked the producers for their willingness to embrace the innovative and non-traditional casting.
Which proves my point that she never gives up and approaches all opportunities with humbleness and a great sense of humor.
Since I first met Linda six years ago I have been constantly impressed by her willingness to turn over ever possible rock that might lead to a producer or director's attention or consideration of her for a role. Meanwhile she is constantly working to fine tune the craft that she has dedicated her life to pursuing.
On An Acting Journey
Linda moved to Los Angeles, to pursue her craft full time. She continues to live in the LA area taking all the right steps every single day to make those right connections. She calls, she writes, she emails and she knocks on tons of doors Linda constantly demonstrates determination, true personal grit and focus on her career) which is why she has already snagged some impressive acting gigs in her career where her spectacular acting talents have been recognized.
Linda Wang is young woman with her eye on the ultimate prize. She is passionate about her desire to be a very busy actress and to be cast in roles that allow her to show off her tremendous talent. She is professional to a fault, taking her work with deadly seriousness.

And Linda's career is definitely progressing in all the right directions. Last season she played a harried mother of a very ill son on the Fox hit House. On 8 Simple Rules she played the speed date of comic David Spade. She also nailed her character on Deadwood when she was imprisoned in a wooden cage.
Recently she appeared in "That's Our Jane" a movie for Jane Magazine. Because of her beauty and acting talent, she is sought after for both print and televised ad work.
Linda's perfect hands were selected for the Box Cover of Mattel Toy's Scrabble which is sold world wide.
She also recently completed a promo for Playboy Enterprises.
Linda Wang is a young woman with her eye on the ultimate prize. She is passionate about her desire to be an working actress - to be cast in roles that allow her to show off her tremendous talent. She is professional to a fault, taking her work with deadly seriousness.
Linda is one of those acting professionals that understands the landscape in Hollywood and is prepared to do whatever it takes to continue working.
I am always awed and impressed by this woman's tremendous discipline, unwavering focus and intense determination to achieve her goals in her acting career.

The Department of Energy (DOE) issued new efficiency standards today for commercial and industrial pumps that are based on efficiency levels negotiated by manufacturers, efficiency advocates, and other stakeholders. In addition to establishing the first-ever national efficiency standards for pumps, the final rule also provides a mechanism for energy efficiency programs to incentivize high-efficiency pump packages.
Yesterday, the Department of Energy (DOE) issued two rules affecting ceiling fans: a proposed rule that would establish the first efficiency performance standards for ceiling fans, and a final rule that improves the efficiency of the lights attached to ceiling fans.
New energy efficiency standards for certain types of specialized air conditioners will reduce cooling costs for many schools as well as other buildings. The new standards issued by the US Department of Energy (DOE) last week will cut cooling energy use by about 18% relative to the current standards.
Late yesterday, the Department of Energy (DOE) proposed strong new standards that would reduce the energy consumed by beverage vending machines to keep drinks cold. The proposed standards would cut energy use by 25-65% relative to the least-efficient machines available now, and save money for schools, hospitals, hotels, and other businesses and institutions where beverage vending machines are used.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) proposed new efficiency standards today for kitchen ovens that would improve cooking efficiency and reduce "vampire" energy waste. The proposed standards would cut energy use by 3-12% for electric ovens and 11-33% for gas ovens relative to today's baseline products.
Last summer, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued new efficiency standards for furnace fans, which are a little-known energy hog that may be lurking in your basement. Today, DOE proposed new standards that would help tame another energy hog that may be in your basement—dehumidifiers.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposed new efficiency standards yesterday for commercial and industrial pumps that are based on efficiency levels negotiated by manufacturers, efficiency advocates, and other stakeholders. The proposal would establish the first-ever national efficiency standards for pumps.
On the heels of a proposed rule for new efficiency standards for furnaces, late on Friday the US Department of Energy (DOE) issued a proposed rule for another type of home heating equipment. While the proposed standards for boilers would save money for many consumers in cold climates, higher standards could achieve significantly greater energy savings.

From there we went into a separate room and met with various specialists one-on-one.
They are generally advocates of a new anti-rejection medication that is a once-a-month injection rather than twice-a-day oral medication. It's a relatively new drug, but they believe that it extends the life of the transplanted kidney, particularly since the standard anti-rejection medication causes kidneydamage. If I were to go on the oral medication they ultimately would not have me on steroids; but, a light steroid if I'm on the new medication. All good stuff here. We'll see how it plays out, but I like that they really try to keep the medications to a minimum.
Social worker - we were sort of ambivalent about this meeting. Given everything we know about kidney transplants we knew most of what she wanted to cover. The burden of being on anti-rejection meds for the rest of your life, the follow-up immediately after the transplant (doctors visits four days a week for about a month), emotional impact of a transplant, etc. Nothing overwhelming.
With that we then had to do a few tests. Blood draws, and a lot of it. They took, and took, and took blood. Important stuff I suppose, but they were bleeding me for a while. With that done our transplant coordinator, Sahar (who was awesome), told us that she had scheduled a few tests for us across the street right then. Pretty impressive, she scheduled us for a MRI, CT Scan, and chest X-Ray. So, we went across the street to have those done. Talk about great service. The receptionist at the radiologist said that it would take about an hour-and-a-half to do all of the tests. They had me in and out in 40 minutes! I never waited for more than two minutes. I went immediately from the MRI machine to the CT Scan with no waiting and from there to the X-Ray and the technician was waiting for me. Amazing.
Next steps? We were unable to meet with a transplant surgeon so we need to do that. We also need to have a heart stress test done. We are going to do both of those on the 19th of this month. From there I'm not sure what is next, but I know they'll let us know.
It was a good day. The transplant center was excellent and the process was not overwhelming at all. I feel good about where we are at and I think the day made Stacie feel a little bit better also - but I am open to being corrected on this point.

The Great British Seaside: Photographed
Sunbathers on the Isle of Wight | Photography from the archive of Pat Gwynne, 1967
Grace Beard
Assistant Editor30 July 2019
From the seaside resorts of New Brighton and Butlin's down to Hastings, Margate and Ramsgate by way of the Welsh coast, the British coast has been a destination for day trippers and families on holiday for almost 200 years. A major exhibition at Margate's Turner Contemporary captures Britain's love affair with the seaside.
Summer in the City explores what summer means to us around the world.
Ask a Brit about their seaside childhood holidays and you'll hear stories of rock pools, Punch and Judy and fish and chips, but the seaside has held a sentimental place in the British psyche for nearly two centuries.
Vanley Burke, Untitled, from the series 'Day Out', 1974
Day trips to seaside towns rose to popularity in the 1840s, when the advent of the railways allowed those living in Britain's cities and towns access to the coast. The seaside brought out a surprisingly liberated side of this famously uptight country; in shots of late-19th-century Britain, people in full Victorian dresses and top hats lie embracing each other on the Yarmouth sands without reservation.
The following years saw the birth of the seaside resort: from Blackpool to Brighton, coastal towns up and down the country were transformed into playgrounds for holidaying Brits with the construction of piers, promenades, hotels and cafés. Bolstered by the implementation of Britain's first bank holidays in the 1870s, the seaside break continued to thrive. In the early 20th century, Butlin's opened its first holiday camp in Skegness; several more appeared over the next few years, catering to working-class families seeking an affordable getaway.

By the 1950s, thanks to the introduction of paid annual leave, it was common to take a week or two off work and holiday at the seaside. Thanks to this newfound leisure time, the family holiday was in its heyday: three generations would squish together on packed pebbly beaches, mothers in cat-eye sunglasses, teacups and saucers laid out on towels.

Succeeding decades, however, saw the prevalence of package holidays and foreign travel lead to a quick decline in the seaside resort. Trains that had zipped those living in industrial towns to Britain's coast ceased to operate, replaced by cheap flights to the continent. Many seaside towns became destitute of maintenance; shops and hotels closed their doors, and visitor numbers plummeted.

New Brighton, on the Wirral Peninsula, was falling into decline after the demolition of its pier and tower when Martin Parr shot his famous collection 'The Last Resort' in the mid-1980s. His photos demonstrate how significant the seaside was to working-class families; despite the ramshackle state of the seaside resort, cafés are crammed with sunburnt kids and sunbathing families fill short stretches of sand. On a hot summer's day, New Brighton continues to draw visitors from nearby Liverpool.

Today, Britain's coastal towns are going through something of an identity crisis. Many resorts that have struggled to reinvent themselves after years of neglect are stuck with a reputation for seaside tack, complete with garish amusement arcades and cheap seaside hotels that seem permanently stuck in the past. Danielle Peck and Henry Iddon's shots capture some of these outdated hotel interiors; there's plenty of bric-a-brac, breakfast menus written in biro, floral curtains and macramé throws.
Henry Iddon, Ocean Hotel, Blackpool – Breakfast Menu, 9th June 2016
Some towns, however, are enjoying artsy revivals, while others managed to avoid ever falling into decline. Brighton, for example, has long been a cool coastal city, home to a large LGBTQ community, thriving nightlife and café culture. Towns along the Kent coast, such as Whitstable and Margate, are being revived as hubs for art and culture, largely thanks to migrating Londoners.
Many seaside resorts are implementing strategies to return to their former glory or else reinvent themselves as something better. Hastings is one such town; the local government of this southeast coastal town has a full regeneration strategy in place, and had its pier restored in 2016.
Through portraits of locals in Hastings, Grace Lau and Jason Wilde capture the face of the 21st-century seaside town today.
Jason Wilde, Image 07: Untitled. Hastings, 11:39:08 – 04/08/2009. | © Jason Wilde 2019
In a studio set up on the seafront, Lau's subjects appear to have been grabbed straight from the beach – ice cream cones and all – and asked to pose for group portraits. The result is a utopian snapshot of Britain – one full of eccentric characters, where diverse communities coexist, and the weather's always sunny.
Grace Lau, 21st Century Types, 2005
As these photos demonstrate, even the most crowded beaches, run-down B&Bs and temperamental weather don't impede on Britons' love of the seaside. The renaissance that seems to be under way is unsurprising; there's perhaps no other place that kindles the same feeling of uninhibited joy and childhood nostalgia.
Seaside: Photographed is on display at Margate's Turner Contemporary until September 2019.
Culture Trip's Summer in the City explores what summer means to us around the world. Discover, among other delights, unlikely summer retreats, US state fairs, the great British seaside and how to re-create an Italian Job-style road trip.


Georgetown University recently prevailed in a motion to dismiss an array of alleged Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) violations brought in federal district court in Washington, D.C. (Wilcox v. Georgetown University et al. (Case #1:18-cv-00422, D. Ct. DC, 1/8/19)). Georgetown joins New York University, Northwestern University, the University of Pennsylvania and Washington University, which also prevailed in similar cases brought in different federal district courts across the country.
About two dozen universities have been hit with similar lawsuits filed by the same law firm since July 2016. Two other institutions, the University of Chicago and Duke University, settled the suits filed against them. The rest of the lawsuits are pending in various stages of litigation.
Federal district court judge Rosemary M. Collyer, in dismissing the Georgetown lawsuit as meritless, recognized that "this type of lawsuit seems to have taken higher education by storm, with suits brought all over the country." Judge Collyer rejected the plaintiff's claim that Georgetown's inclusion of mediocre-performing investment choices in its array of selections was a fiduciary violation, specifically holding that ERISA does not require fiduciaries to provide only the best-performing options in its array of investment options.
Regarding the allegation that the plan's administrative recordkeeping fees were excessive, the judge concluded that the plaintiff failed to show how the fees could be lowered. The allegation that the pension plan provided too many investment alternatives was also dismissed as meritless.
The administrative office of the U.S. Courts reports that the money to run the court system ran out on January 11, 2019, because of the government shutdown. This means that non-essential workers at the 94 federal district courts and higher courts across the country may have to stay home as skeleton crews show up without pay to handle matters deemed essential under U.S. law, including many criminal cases. Individual judges and courts will determine if or how to proceed with pending civil cases, including hundreds if not thousands of civil employment law matters mostly including discrimination and disability claims lodged in federal courts throughout the country.
The U.S. court system statistics indicate that over 25,000 employment-related lawsuits are filed in federal courts across the nation annually. The statistics also show that approximately 1,945 appeals of employment-related lawsuits are handled annually by the federal appellate system.
After three years of litigation, including multiple decisions of a federal trial court and U.S. court of appeals on aspects of the case, a jury found no merit in a former philosophy professor's allegation of retaliatory discharge resulting from his participation and defense of himself in a Title IX investigation (Wilkerson v. University of North Texas (E.D. Tex., Case No. 4:15.cv-00540, jury verdict, 12/13/18)).
The professor had been accused of having an inappropriate relationship with one of his graduate students and subsequently participated in a Title IX investigation conducted by the university, which concluded that he had not broken any university rules or policies. Nonetheless, the university terminated the professor's teaching contract, citing "poor judgement." He filed the lawsuit, which was whittled down by the federal court to include only his allegation that he was terminated in retaliation for his participation in the Title IX investigation. After a four-day trial, the jury concluded that the university did not retaliate against the professor and thus he was entitled to no damages.
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has reported that non-tenured professors, including adjunct professors, at seven Florida public colleges have filed petitions for union representation. The SEIU has reported that the applicable paperwork was submitted in December and includes adjunct faculty at Santa Fe College, St. Petersburg College, Lake Sumter College, Polk State College, Florida Gateway College, Chipola College and South Florida State College. Separately, in another state college system — the University of California — researchers voted to unionize and will be represented by the United Auto Workers.
According to Bloomberg Law, there are at least 19 states and 20 cities and counties that raised minimum wage effective either December 31, 2018 or January 1, 2019. California has the most localities with minimum wage increases (nine cities or towns are raising minimum wage to between $12 and $15 per hour).
The federal minimum wage of $7.25 was last raised in 2009. House Democrats, who are now in the majority in the U.S. House, intend to introduce a bill raising the federal minimum wage to possibly as high as $15 an hour. Voters in four states — Arizona, Colorado, Maine and Washington — approved minimum wage increases in 2016 that will further raise minimum wages in those states this year.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (covering Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana) recently affirmed the dismissal of sexual harassment and retaliatory discharge allegations brought by a former female sales representative which were based on inappropriate sexual banter at work which she overheard but was not part of any conversation in which she actually participated. The company defended her discharge based on unrebutted performance-based evidence (failure to follow directives and a pattern of late customer deliveries) which had nothing to do with her claims of sexual harassment (Swyear v. Fare Foods Corp. (2018 BL 478065, 7th Cir., No. 18-2108. 12/26/18)).
The plaintiff allegedly overheard sexual banter, including name calling, in the workplace, although none of it was directed at her (nor was she a participant in any of the conversations). The court concluded that the overheard comments were not severe enough and were too infrequent to be objectively offensive and did not constitute a hostile work environment. The court also rejected the plaintiff's sexual harassment claim based on a male employee entering her hotel room and allegedly climbing into bed next to her when she testified that his actions were not forceful and she always had control of the situation.

Franklin Rutkowski score in the 37th minute off a Jason Rowaiye assist, and a 68th-minute insurance goal from Ben Kelly(Connor Mote) allowed the Redwings to move to 2-0-0 in conference. Brian Gould made 4 saves to earn the shutout for Benet (3-1-1 overall). Next up is Waubonsie Valley, which travels to Lisle at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
Jeremy Taylor made 1 save, and Zac Rebac made 4, but it wasn't enough to shake the Hawks (0-5-1, 0-1-0) from their early season doldrums.
No. 10 Addison Trail played second-ranked Morton to a scoreless draw for 65 minute, before the floodgates opened. The Blazers suffered their first loss of the season in six matches and fell to 0-1 in conference.
Joey Montalbano contributed both assists to push the Gators win streak to five games. Nikolas Getzinger and Joel Bennett scored the goals for Crystal Lake South (5-2-0). Brandon Gorka made 3 saves for the Gators first shutout of the season.
Saul Casillas scored a brace on assists from Jack Rasmussen and Guiseppe Scaletta to keep the Huskies unbeaten start to the season alive. The eighth-ranked Huskies sit at 5-0-1 overall and 2-0-0 in the Mid-Suburban League.
The no. 4 Blue Devils roared to their fourth-straight romp behind Ruben Delgadillo, who collected 2 goals and 3 assists. Kody Anderson contributed a goal and an assist to the cause. Bryan Galvan, Richie Flores, Hugo Flores and Carlos Mirillo added scores. Kevin Penarrieta and Thomas Macheras notched assists for Warren (8-0-1).
Second half goals from Isaiah Bedrossian (Ethan Stoneman assist) and Grayson Harris (Elias McCloud) powered the Warriors (3-0-2) to the road win. J.D. Gunn posted the shutout. The Warriors host Elmwood Park on Thursday. Batavia fell to 1-4-0.

These Scientists Ground an iPhone to Dust to Figure Out What's Inside
Filed to: smartphonesFiled to: smartphones
Image: University of Plymouth
You probably don't spend a lot of time pondering what your smartphone is made of. But maybe you should, because the average phone is a dizzyingly complex compendium of metals and minerals sourced from all over the Earth.
Now, a team of scientists at the University of Plymouth is attempting to demystify the ingredient list, in the hopes of raising awareness of the environmental and human impact of our devices. They're doing so in the most brute-force way possible: grinding up phones and measuring the elements inside.
As a preliminary demonstration of their work, the just-released video below details the team's chemical analysis of an iPhone 4S. Arjan Dijkstra, a lecturer in igneous petrology and one of the lead scientists behind the project, told Earther that his team initially detected at least 39 elements in the phone. They would have detected more, he said, but "just wanted to focus on the most abundant ones," for the purposes of the demonstration. (Other experts previously told me that an iPhone contains about 75 elements. Apple didn't comment at the time.)
Deciphering the elements inside the phone begins with the highly scientific step of dropping it in a blender. After the phone has been chopped up into a mix of fine dust and small chunks, the material is mixed with sodium peroxide in small crucibles and heated to 480 degrees Celsius. The sodium peroxide, Dijkstra explained, oxidizes all of the metals so that they can then be dissolved in a weak nitric acid solution. That solution's precise elemental composition is then analyzed using an optical emission spectrometer.
The work has, so far, largely served to verify what we already understood about smartphones: They contain a lot of ingredients. The elements in a phone range from familiar stuff like carbon and iron (both found in the steel body of the iPhone 4S, which later models replaced with aluminum). They also contain a smattering of more exotic ingredients often described as "rare" or "critical" metals: tungsten, cobalt, molybdenum, and the rare earth metals dysprosium, neodymium, praseodymium and gadolinium, to name just a few.
These metals are only mined in small quantities each year, but they're absolutely essential to the functioning of modern technology.
Many of the elements the iPhone analysis turned up are disclosed on Apple's most recent environmental report—which details its efforts to reduce the use of mined metals by beefing up its recycling programs—while others aren't. Most of the rare metals are recycled at very low rates today, which is unfortunate because mining them often takes a severe environmental toll. If done without appropriate oversight, it can also lead to serious human rights abuses. For instance, cobalt mining, which occurs primarily in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has been tied to the rampant use of child labor. In the same war-torn region, mining tin, tungsten, and tantalum can fuel armed conflicts.
More transparency about what our devices contain can help raise awareness about these impacts. For instance, by quantifying the most abundant metals in the 4S, the researchers were able to estimate that production of the 5-oz device requires about 10 to 15 kilograms of rock to be mined from the Earth.
"We hope that they [consumers] can now look at their phone in a different light, not just as a high-tech gadget, but also as an item that is manufactured from raw materials, that are mined," Dijkstra told Earther in an email. "So every new phone leaves a whole in the ground the size of 10-15 kg of rock—in fact it is a whole series of little holes all around the world. That is, unless it is made from recycled materials."
Perhaps this demonstration will encourage Apple to expedite its recycling efforts. In the meantime, the team is in the process of analyzing more phones, with a particular eye toward how levels of rare earths—the mining of which produces high levels of toxic waste byproducts—and elements like cobalt and tantalum notorious for fueling conflict, are changing.
They're relying on volunteers to supply the old phones, so if you've got one you were thinking of chucking in the trash, now you can put it to much better use.

The remodelling sounds like a big project, but progressing along now by the sounds of it.
You're going strong with War and Peace - I honestly would have given up by now. Me and long books just don't go.
Happy Reading - and have a wonderful week!
The remodeling was a huge project for sure, but we're in the home stretch now!
15 pages a day of War and Peace has been very manageable for me. This never would have worked if I just tried to plow straight through without reading anything else.
Nice books, I kinda am waiting to see when you finish War and Peace and good luck!!
War and Peace is on my list but after I finish these chunkers that I have going I'm going to have to opt for something a little lighter! LOL!

Action plans could be blown off-target
The green energy lobby says that the EU is on course to meet its targets. But delays in modernising the grid could hamper progress.
By Sonja van Renssen
As the price of carbon is currently low and shows no sign of rising in the near future, legislation is the principal influence driving investment in green energy. In particular, it is the EU's renewable energy directive that will determine whether Europe meets its goal of generating 20% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020.
Meeting that target hinges on the National Renewable Energy Action Plans that each EU member state must present to show how it intends to meet its legally binding target. By mid-October, 23 action plans had reached the European Commission, with only those from Belgium, Estonia, Hungary and Poland still to come.
The plans submitted so far suggest that, at least on paper, Europe is set to exceed its 20% renewables target by close to 1%. Only two member states, Italy and Luxembourg, predict that they will need imports to meet their targets. Eight say they will hit it exactly, while 13 expect to exceed theirs; a few, including Spain, Greece and Bulgaria, expect to outperform their targets by as much as 2%-3%.
Representatives of the renewables industry believe this positive picture is credible, both in terms of targets and the prospects for individual technologies.
Jacopo Moccia from the European Wind Energy Association says the 23 submitted plans add up to 201 gigawatts (GW) of wind power in 2020, close to the industry's expectation of 214 GW.
It is a pleasing picture for the industry. But will it happen? The development of the renewable-energy industry today continues to be hindered by outdated grids, delays to planning permission and insufficient funding. It is not clear how quickly these problems can be resolved.
Plans for new grid interconnections are a prominent feature of the action plans and some – such as Malta's – are contingent on them. The country needs an offshore wind farm to meet its renewables target of 10.2% for 2020, but that presupposes a viable interconnector to Sicily to handle the turbines' peak-time input.
Potential renewables exports from Spain, Portugal and Ireland also require new interconnectors. Whether these are built as planned depends, above all, on overcoming often deep-seated local opposition, which manifests itself in long delays to the granting of planning permission.
Not all action plans that identify this problem propose a solution. Italy, for example, notes it has a 180-day deadline to agree authorisation for a renewables project, which in practice can turn into four to five years. It offers no remedy.
France risks lengthening its 16-month authorisation period for transmission projects by deciding to give local mayors a say without requiring them to justify their decisions.
Financial woes
The economic crisis also continues to affect a sector heavily dependent on fresh investment. In the UK, for example, a scarcity of pre-construction finance is hindering efforts to build new offshore wind capacity. Developers say they need up to £10 billion (€11.2bn) a year.
Energy experts in the Netherlands say looming excess coal and gas capacity will discourage utilities from investing in renewables, as they would simply be reducing the value of their existing assets.
Moreover, the action plans assume a leverage effect from big efficiency gains, in line with the EU's non-binding target for a 20% energy-efficiency improvement by 2020. But the EU is set to miss this target.
"The renewable energy industry did its job in the past, but the problem lies with a lack of ambition from the member states to reduce energy demand," says Lucie Tesnière, a policy adviser at the European Renewable Energy Council. A faster-than-expected recovery from the current economic crisis could exacerbate the problem.
"The plans must be taken with a caveat – they will evolve, a lot," says Moccia. "The targets in 2018-19 will be quite different to today." That is why the renewables directive will be evaluated every two years, he adds.
The plans look good on paper, but they have yet to prove their feasibility.

Material Detail: Number for Nurses: Division
Number for Nurses: Division
The Number for Nurses Computer Assisted Learning Package begins with a basic principles section which is followed by application to nursing practice. The basic principles section deals with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, S.I. units and scales and gauges. In each area a variety of methods are used to enable the student to understand these principles, through interactive tutorials and consolidate learning through exercises. The aim of the division section is to help the student become competent both in the recognition of factors in fractions, and the ability to transfer simple fractions into long division format. These skills are particularly relevant during clinical practice as the nurse will be expected to utilise these methods to accurately calculate the drug dose to be administered to a patient. The package can be accessed from the first year of the course and it is expected that the student will work through the basic principles section first. The application section will support the student through the second and third years of the course, as they become involved in the more complex elements of nursing skills. By the end of the third year the package should have enabled the student to gain the competency in application of number skills which will facilitate the transfer to qualified nurse status.

Acer Nitro 7 Vs Acer Predator Helios 900
by admin September 18, 2022 December 19, 2022 024
When comparing the Acer Nitro 7 and the Nitro 5, the Nitro 7 is clearly the better laptop. The build quality is better, and the aluminum panels feel more premium. When pressed, the Nitro 7 barely bulges. In terms of price, the Nitro 7 costs $200 more than the Nitro 5, but it is on par with much more expensive models.
Gaming performance
The design of the Acer Aspire Nitro 7 is similar to that of other Acer laptops, including the Predator Helios 500 and Helios 900. It features a number of thin heat pipes and three Aeroblade fans that help keep the components cool. This allows the laptop to perform a variety of tasks without overheating.
The Aspire Nitro 7 is a powerful gaming laptop with impressive battery life. It also features a backlit keyboard, HDMI, USB 3.0, and an SD card reader. The 15.6-inch IPS display offers good visuals for modern games, and the two-terabyte hard drive provides ample storage space. HDDs are relatively cheap, but they perform much slower than SSDs. The display is a crisp 1920×1080, and there are four brightness settings.
The Acer Nitro 7's design is simple and clean. Its all-black body is fingerprint-prone, but its matte finish makes cleaning it much easier. The only hint of the brand is the red border on the touchpad. Acer could have gone with blue backlighting for the keyboard.
The Acer Aspire Nitro 7 is a budget gaming laptop with a svelte, all-metal design. It features a rounded front lip and a red frame around the clickpad and keyboard. The build quality is solid, although its brushed aluminium lid backing can attract fingerprints. The case lacks flashy branding, and the red touchpad border is the only giveaway. The keyboard is equally solid, but its lid is less sturdy.
The Acer Nitro 7 is powered by a 9th-generation Intel Core i7-9750H processor with speeds of up to 4.5GHz. It also has 8GB of DDR4 SDRAM and a 512GB SSD. Although this laptop has a low-end graphics card, it's still a capable system for multitasking. It handled 45 Google Chrome tabs and three YouTube videos without lagging at all.
The Acer Aspire Nitro 7 is a powerful gaming laptop. It combines powerful computing and graphics with a slim, stylish design. It also has a generous amount of RAM and optional SSD storage. The gaming performance on the Aspire Nitro 7 is top-notch, and it boasts a high-resolution 15.6-inch IPS display. The Acer Nitro 7 is equipped with a GTX 1050Ti graphics card, which delivers excellent visuals. Other features of this laptop include a spill-resistant keyboard and a large, detailed touchpad.
The Nitro 7 runs hot, despite the fact that temperatures are moderate in San Francisco. It idles between 55 and 60 degrees Celsius and reaches 80 degrees at full throttle. The Acer Nitro 7 is also quite noisy when using the fan profile set to Auto. However, this issue can be solved by setting it to the maximum setting.
The Acer Nitro 7 is a gaming laptop that starts at around $1,000. It features a big screen, a Numpad, and enough power to handle the most demanding games. But, it also has some drawbacks, like a hot chassis and aggressive fans.
As a gaming laptop, the Acer Nitro 5 has pretty impressive battery life. It can last nearly four hours. It also has the ability to turn off its discrete GPU, which helps extend its runtime. The Acer Nitro 5 also comes with NitroSense software, which allows you to tweak the cooling system and see system stats. You can also change the backlighting on the keyboard.
The Nitro 7 features a decent selection of ports. It has three full-sized USB Type-A ports, including two USB 3.1 ports. It also has HDMI 2.0 and a Gigabit Ethernet port. It also has a headphone and microphone combo port. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a microSD card slot.
If you want to fix the sound of your Acer laptop, you can do it yourself by opening the control panel and selecting sound. In the sound tab, select your device and click on configure. After that, click on the sound icon and click on the "playback" tab. Once you have completed this step, you can try to adjust the sound. If you have no luck, you can always contact the Acer customer service phone number to get the necessary help.
If you are a gamer on the go, you'll love the Acer Nitro 7. This notebook is designed for gamers and features a powerful 2.6GHz Intel Core i7-9750H processor, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, a 512GB NVMe SSD, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card. It also comes with an HDMI port for connecting an external screen.
