The Kangana nude: Film without a film
This world fortunately has a surfeit of minor vices; smoking and drinking, for example. For on, it gives a segment of people huge pleasure even if it is at the risk of their and the health of others while on the other hand, these vices, unfortunately while they cannot be wiped out ever by any laws or morality guardians, give yet another segment of people a reason to live.
I read two news items this morning which set me thinking. One was of a film in which petite Kangana Ranaut is supposed to be going nude and which the Censor Board has immediately clamped down with a U/A certificate and another news item featuring the one and only perfectionist in the world, Ghajini Aamir Khan. The first one is quite interesting in fact and would and should create a debate.
It says that Kangana, even though she is wearing a body suit in Mukesh Bhatt's new film Raaz 2, should have not done what she has and the scene in particular has to be deleted and the film be allowed for viewing only if a kid is accompanied by an adult; at least, that is what I understand by an U/A certificate. Also, that there is abusive language in the film. No, the Censor Board shall not allow kids to see the film all by themselves. Excellent. But how does an U/A certificate justify deletion of the scene when, I am quite sure, a filmmaker like Mukesh Bhatt must have had reason for inclusion of nudity ( even if it is for making money and making men pant) and the language.
Mukesh has done the unbelievable and I think it's a first time in the world of Indian cinema; that a director has himself sought an A certificate for the film and said that he would include the nude scene as well as the language since the film would then be out of bounds for kids anyway. No kidding, I think Mukesh has pulled a tough one on the Censor Board this time.
I would love to see how out morality police react to Mukesh's stand. I personally find it path-breaking. Each and every filmmaker should follow Mukesh's path; give us an A certificate and allow us to show our movies our own way. If you think we are morons, sorry, we are not. We are educated film-makers who have a sense of responsibility and know exactly where to draw the line. And anyway, kids in 2009 are not the kids that they were when this Censor thing was introduced. They are now born adults, if you know what I mean.
Ghajini Aamir Khan has come in for some praise from the health minister for mildly rebuking smokers in the film. Aamir himself says he hates smoking and we have no fight with that. All of us non-smokers hate smoking. But smokers do not. They want their poison stick and they do so with an almost euthanasia approach. You can't fight that with laws. It's a norm; either you follow that or you don't. Ramadoss' new ban on tobacco consumption is laudable; who wants to die of cancer anyway? But asking the Censors to stop showing smoking in films is, I think, a stupid gamble which will never pay off. Also, apparently, there is a proposal now that even if you show smoking by an actor then there has to be a disclaimer by the same actor in a visual segment saying that if you choose hell, it's your problem. I find that ridiculous at its worst and funny at its best.
Health minister Ramadoss hated Don when it showed the mafia king puffing away. Now tell me why should a murderer and killer have any mercy towards himself when he has none for others? If you show Don, as he is in the film, relishing chocolate (not that too much of that is good either) with pineapple juice every time he mouths a threat, then it becomes a sort of Utpal Dutt villainy; in 2009, that is unacceptable. Mr Ramadoss and his coterie in the health ministry should understand that.
As a responsible blogger, I do not support either nudity in films or smoking anywhere (I cannot possibly say that I am against nudity everywhere; bedrooms would become redundant if that were the case). What I object to is the serious stupidity in which the Censors indulge themselves by saying that nudity and smoking and drinking are injurious for public health when they are shown on screen. It doesn't make sense. Every intelligent film-maker in this country has his brains hopefully in the right place and it is natural if the director chooses to use drugs, cigarettes or drink as props in his films. Just banning them from the screen will not help.
As also abusive language. I remember seeing a Rituparno Ghosh Bengali film, Shubho Mahurat, a few years back and it spewed language which made even a vice-cracker like me squirm in his seat. I forget whether the film had an A certificate but I do remember seeing a couple of kids in the hall whom the usher must not have noticed. This is what happens in India. You make laws for people only to allow them not to follow them.
Let's not smoke. Or spread any illusions about anything regal about vice. There isn't anything good about vices though I do remember the ace villain king Pran in one of his Stardust interviews some three decades back saying, "All good things in this world are bad." Nothing could be nearer than the truth.
But the philosophy behind that statement must be understood. If deleting a Kangana scene from a film makes us holy, fine for such judgments and if Don is not allowed to smoke, then even better.
All we will then have is a film of the Seventies without Ajit as a villain. Would they have been watchable even then? The only thing that Ajit has left behind is his Ajitisms; nobody smokes cigar after cigar because Ajit did that in scene after scene in Yaadon Ki Baraat. Take the cigar out of Ajit's lewd mouth, and you are left with a film without a film. At lest I have no intentions of watching the Loin without his feral felicity.
Or a Don who does not behave like a con.

Dragon Blood - Tour Sign Ups
Tour will be from January 8th - February 8th
There's a book description, an author bio and a giveaway.
Draco Sang Trilogy Book 1
by Mary Beesley
Cal, a hungry sixteen-year-old sick of mining the sand, wants to fit in and make his ma proud, but instead, his violent tendencies bring shame. And the truth. He's the son of a Draco Sang. Carriers of the Dragon's blood, the Draco Sang transform into half human half beast as they mature into adults. And if Cal can't control the dark impulses of his dragon blood, he'll grow into a man-beast—and he'll be hunted.
Ferth, son of a Draco Sang chief and last of his class to grow claws, needs to prove his worth to his father, or he'll be sent to the slave house. Hiding his human heart, he joins the army headed south to conquer the fertile human lands.
Neither brother feels they belong. Cal is human, fighting against becoming a beastly Draco Sang, while Ferth is struggling to push back his humanity and transform into a worthy Draco warrior.
Before ever meeting in open battle, Ferth is sent to kill Cal. But when he learns they are brothers, he must decide which loyalty is stronger, blood or country. And whether to finally give in to his humanity.

To get a running start on dominating holiday shopping dollars, Amazon will be counting down to Thanksgiving and Black Friday next week with steep discounts on electronics and tech gadgets.
Black Friday may not be for another week, but Amazon's holiday specials are starting today.
Amazon will spend the next six days counting down to Thanksgiving, the cheapest online shopping day of the season, according to Adobe's holiday predictions, with tech-related deals offered as frequently as every 10 minutes. The Seattle e-commerce juggernaut is saving its best deals for Thanksgiving and Black Friday, with three specials each day starting at midnight on Thursday.
Deals include heavily discounted TVs, video game consoles, laptops, smartphones, and media players, in addition to wearables, health-related gadgets, $1.99 e-books, and free apps. The daily Free App of the Day bundle will include more than $155 in paid apps and games.
This aggressive plan is a way to capture as much of the market share as possible, as early as possible, says Razvan Roman, chief executive (CEO) of Two Tap, a start-up based on an automated buy button that allows consumers to skip the visit to retailers' websites.
While an increasing number of retailers are still grasping the concept of digital optimization, Amazon is already there. The fact that the company has digital in its DNA gave it a big head start, an advantage that's exacerbated by its ubiquity.
Starting the holiday season early is also a way to appeal to mobile shoppers, who will account for nearly one-third of the holiday revenue this year, Adobe predicted. According to Amazon, consumers ordered more than five toys per second through mobile devices between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday last year.
Not only was desktop third-billed in Shure's statement, but the online retailer is sticking with mobile social platforms to promote the early holiday shopping. Throughout the season, Amazon will be promoting merchandise on its shoppable Instagram feed, where it also told 94,000 followers about its new Snapchat earlier this week. The first snaps – gift ideas and recommendations, as well as exclusive deals – went out to consumers yesterday.

Door Inspanning Ontspanning Groningen (DIO Groningen) is een amateurvoetbalclub uit Groningen. DIO werd op 17 mei 1971 opgericht als DIO Oosterhoogebrug. Het was de club voor Oosterhoogebrug, van oorsprong een zelfstandig dorp, maar sinds 1969 deel van de gemeente Groningen. Om naamsverwarring te voorkomen met DIO Oosterwolde werd de naam gewijzigd in DIO Groningen. De club speelde vroeger op het "Van Starkenborghcomplex" en sinds 1999 op het "Sportpark Kardinge". De clubkleuren zijn groen en wit.

Standaardelftal

Zaterdag
Het standaardelftal speelde laatstelijk in het seizoen 2019/20 in de Vijfde klasse zaterdag van het KNVB-district Noord.

Zondag
Het eerste zondagelftal speelde in het seizoen 2011/12 een half jaar in de Zondag Hoofdklasse C op het tweede amateurniveau. DIO was daarmee pas de vierde club uit de stad Groningen die de zondaghoofdklasse wist te bereiken. Dat terwijl de ploeg tot 1981 nog in de toenmalige provinciale GVB (KNVB-afdeling Groningen) speelde. Met Martin Koeman als trainer bereikte DIO in 1983 voor het eerst de derde klasse. In 1988 werd voor het eerst de tweede klasse bereikt en in 1991 de eerste klasse. Daarna volgden echter jaren van neergang waarbij DIO in een paar seizoenen afzakte tot de vijfde klasse. Vanaf 2001 zat de club weer in de lift.

In het seizoen 2008/09 werd DIO kampioen in de derde klasse. Ook werd dat seizoen de kwartfinale van de districtsbeker (Noord) bereikt, waarin met 5-0 van ACV werd verloren. In het volgende seizoen werd de titel in de tweede klasse net gemist, maar was er wel promotie. Op 8 mei 2011 schreef DIO Groningen historie door bij Achilles 1894 in Assen promotie naar de Hoofdklasse af te dwingen. Dit gebeurde in dezelfde maand dat de vereniging haar 40-jarig jubileum vierde. Halverwege het eerste seizoen in de Hoofdklasse besloot de club zich uit de Hoofdklasse terug te trekken. Het spelen in die klasse kostte meer dan dat het financieel opleverde. Het stond toen op de laatste plaats in de competitie.

LashPRO Accelerator™ is the first lash course of its kind to combine education in branding, marketing, business skills, lashing and self-care into one intensive online program.
You've been trained in lash artistry, but no one taught you the business of lashing. You have too few clients (or too many), and you want to know how to attract and retain the right clientele for you. You want to learn how to use social media to grow your lash business, to build a brand that is uniquely yours, to effectively manage scheduling, pricing, and employees, but most importantly, to become the best lash artist and most successful entrepreneur you can be.
Lash PRO Accelerator is a 35-week online course designed for trained lash artists who are looking to transform their skills as business owners. Every week for the duration of the course, students receive 1-2 video modules focused around one of our five business fundamentals: Branding, Marketing, Lash Skill, Business Skill, and Self Care. Industry experts including Sugarlash PRO founder and CEO Courtney Buhler, LashPRO Academy Educators, cosmetic chemists, chiropractors, mindfulness experts, allergists, ophthalmologists, and photographers provide in-depth information on a variety of health, lashing, and business topics untouched by conventional lash courses. Each month, students have the opportunity to participate in Live Sessions with Courtney and an Educator or guest speaker, and will also have access to our private student forum where they can meet other artists, and participate in peer-to-peer and mentor support.
LashPRO Accelerator is founded on 5 principles we believe are integral to a strong lash business.
Strong branding is the key to a unique and recognizable industry presence. Learn how to find your dream client; create a strong visual identity through social media, logo, and website design; utilize your unique selling points; and more in a full business branding course with Courtney Buhler.
Target your ideal clients with tips on startup marketing, advertising, photography for your business, and using major social platforms to get your business on the map!
Become a pro with advanced lashing modules from top lash artists and industry experts. Learn volume fan creation and wrapping, Russian wings, how to deal with difficult growth patterns and lash gaps, get an inner lash tutorial and more!
Being a savvy business owner requires more than just great lashing. Gain confidence in creating and implementing client boundaries and policies, learn to manage your time efficiently, retain clients, and let them go when it's not working out.
A long and healthy career starts with a healthy body and mind. Learn all the tips from health and wellness experts on how to maintain correct lashing posture, wrist health, and how to lash during pregnancy, while finding work/life balance through mindfulness.

The Marconi depot will be built on a site mainly located on the territory of Uccle and partly on that of Forêt. The site borders on the Flemish-Brabant community Drogenbos and measures 3.7 hectares, of which 2.3 hectares will be covered. The new depot will house 75 trams of the 3000 and 4000 type. The maintenance workshop is going to be able to cope with 15 trams at the same time. In addition, Franki Construct and Kumpen will also build an administration building with a reception hall and recreation room for the tram drivers.
The depot is going to be constructed in the context of the European TramStore21 project, in which the cities Rotterdam, Dijon and Blackpool also take part. The project can count on European financial support and its objective is to promote urban sustainability while respecting the environment. Therefore the building materials will be attuned to the green setting and in the construction much attention will be paid to energy control, waste water and maintenance of the buildings. Natural light, noise insulation by means of applying the very latest techniques to reduce noise and vibrations and recovery of rain water guarantee an extremely sustainable tram depot.
Franki Construct and Kumpen also built the provisional open-air depot on the site along the Ruisbroeksesteenweg. This provisional depot is in operation now and can house 28 trams (photos). The overall investment amounts to more than 50 million euro.

HUGH JACKMAN' REAL STEEL AUDIENCE KNOCKOUT AT U.S. BOX OFFICE
Dreamworks 'Real Steel' punches its weight straight to number 1 at the US box office and is the audience number 1 movie!
To watch this video, you need the latest Flash-Player and active javascript in your browser.
The film grossed $27.3 million over the weekend as Hugh Jackman kept George Clooney on the ropes knocking out competition 'The Ides of March' in a box office brawl.
Real Steel took a further $22.1 million from international markets but the real story is the film's audience reaction – punching well above its competition.

The action thriller starring Hugh Jackman proved a massive hit with all audiences and particularly under 25s, receiving a rare 'A' rating from CinemaScore – the official US rating's agency judging cinema goers experiences.
Combining incredible effects with sci-fi nods and family themes in a big-budget action thriller "Real Steel" is about family as well, centering on a broken relationship between a father and son. About 25% of the US audience this weekend consisted of parents and their children, and the movie appealed mostly to men, who made up 66% of the crowd.

A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future where the sport of boxing has gone high-tech, "Real Steel" stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring.
Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.
The production hired Sugar Ray Leonard—widely considered to be one of the all-time greatest boxers, winning titles in five different weight divisions—to serve as the film's boxing consultant and to train Hugh Jackman for his appearance in the ring.

Hugh Jackman was pumped when Leonard was brought on board, especially since Jackman's father had been a boxer and an army champion, fighting until he was in his early 20s.
Jackman says, "When I told my dad I was doing this film and was working with Sugar Ray Leonard, I don't think I've ever seen him more amped or more jazzed in my life. He's an Englishman, so he's quite reserved.
He told me that of all the people who have boxed, Sugar Ray Leonard is a true champion. There have been other champions, but there's probably no one more respected than Sugar Ray.
And when you meet him, you see that. He's so generous and giving. He's got a great, positive, effervescent way about him. He's very respectful to people.
"It seems almost impossible to believe this guy was in the maelstrom of a boxing match, in some of the most vicious and tough situations anyone can imagine, because he's just so congenial and nice. I mean, just to meet him was cool, but to actually be taught by him was great. He invented punches that no one had ever done before. To have Sugar Ray teaching me, that's about as good as it gets," Jackman concludes.
Although Jackman has boxed in real life, he was interested to learn the subtleties of boxing from one of the all-time greats.
From Leonard he learned the proper way to protect himself, how to throw a hook with the right hand, and that when he throws a punch to an opponent's body, his free hand has to be up for protection.
"There were just little adjustments here and there for Hugh," Leonard says. "He is, after all, an athlete and in incredible shape. He caught on so quickly."
Director Shawn Levy adds, "It may sound a little weird talking about how Hugh relates to the robot, but Sugar Ray really influenced the way Hugh played the scenes in the corner. The ways that Leonard contributed to the film are both overt and subtle and really valuable."
"Real Steel" is directed by Shawn Levy ("Night at the Museum" franchise and "Date Night"). The film also stars Lost's Evangeline Lilly.
Real Steel opens in the UK on October 14th. Certificate PG.

July 20, 2004 by Peter T. Chattaway Leave a Comment
I, Robot not only has very little in common with the Isaac Asimov book on which it is very, very loosely based, it also takes one of that book's central messages and stands it completely on its head — and a part of me couldn't be happier.
Directed by Alex Proyas (whose moody, noir-ish sci-fi parable Dark City was my favorite film of 1998) from a script by Jeff Vintar (Final Fantasy) and Akiva Goldsman (Batman Forever), I, Robot is a run-of-the-mill special-effects-heavy Will Smith action flick that plays on our presumed fear of robots and the tyranny of logic. In this film, the only good robots — and no doubt the best people, too — are the ones that learn to follow their hearts and make illogical decisions.
On the other hand, Asimov's book, a collection of short stories published in 1950, ended on a more utopian note that celebrated the triumph of reason over fear. In the book, Asimov's machines — being perfectly logical, practically omnipotent, and programmed to prevent the harm of humans — come to control the world and use their position to prevent us from ever going to war again. (Such ideas were apparently in the air back then: the notion that robots could impose peace on the world was also central to the 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still.)
For an atheist like Asimov, such machines must have seemed like an improvement on the God of Judeo-Christian belief, who allows people to harm each other for reasons unknown. But I find Asimov's conclusion more chilling than promising. What if these all-powerful robots malfunctioned or changed their programming to permit the harming of humans? What if humans, living in a world of guaranteed comfort and no real suffering, lost the capacity for spiritual growth?
So, naturally, I could not help but smile when it became apparent that the people behind this movie also found Asimov's ideas somewhat nightmarish.
Alas, in order to express this nightmare in ways that will be obvious to the average moviegoer, they have to make the machines stupid, and the people even stupider. The robots abandon all sense of subtlety, which you might think would be the more logical approach, as they openly attack Detective Spooner (Will Smith) in a bid to prevent him from exposing the conspiracy that he just knows is there; and the cops and scientists who work with Spooner have a blind faith in the robots that is more than a little naïve.
To make matters worse, the action sequences are oddly lifeless. The scene in which a whole phalanx of metal men ambush Spooner's car from a couple of moving vehicles ought to be a kinetic thrill, but it's basically just a puffed-up cartoon, and it shows, as CGI robots leap from CGI robot carriers onto a CGI car as it careens all over a CGI tunnel. When the sequence comes to an end and we see Spooner's car grind to a halt, we are jolted by the fact that the car suddenly has a tangible, substantial physicality that it was lacking until now. (The tunnel chase in The Bourne Supremacy is infinitely better, and feels genuinely dangerous.)
And then there is Smith's performance; his occasional sullenness suggests he is itching for another Ali-like chance to prove his acting chops even as he slums his way through another high-tech shoot-'em-up. The result is a film in which the story and the style seem to be at odds with one another. Like the robots in some of Asimov's stories, I, Robot is caught between conflicting impulses, and it ends up paralyzed.

An Imaginative World Found in a Shell Book
This post originally appeared on the Smithsonian Libraries blog and has been republished at the permission of the author, Julia Blakely.
As a commemoration of the Imperial collection of shells in Vienna, the printed folio of Testacea Musei Caesarei Vindobonensis of 1780, is splendid. The eighteen engraved plates, carefully colored by hand, render individual specimens in the Habsburgs' K.K. Hof-naturalien-Cabinet as if pieces of jewelry, casting shadows on a plain background of the thick, hand-made paper. Dedicated to the Empress of Austria, Maria Theresa (1717-1780), this production was also a work of science, as the task of arranging the shells in the Cabinet and describing them for publication was given to one of the leading scientists of the day, Ignaz Edler von Born (1742-1791).

An Illustrated Natural History of German Frogs: Rösel's Historia Naturalis Ranarum Nostratium
Historia naturalis ranarum nostratium has been described as one of the most beautiful works devoted to frogs and amphibians.
The work of German artist and naturalist Johann Rösel von Rosenhof, Historia naturalis ranarum nostratium describes the natural history of all then-known frogs and toads indigenous to the Nuremberg region in Germany. The title is noteworthy first for the extensive, accurate information in the text, printed in two columns in both German and Latin.
The work is equally (if not more) renowned for its illustrations. The twenty-four folio, hand-colored copper engravings portray habitats, anatomy, reproductive behavior, and larval development stages in intricate detail.

Myrtle: The Provenance and Meaning of a Plant
The provenance of a botanical specimen was recently presented to a world-wide audience, even if they did not quite realize it. One detail of the Royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had commentators confidently offering up the history of the sprig of myrtle used in the bride's bouquet. This was commonly reported to be from the plant nurtured from the flower used in the marriage ceremony of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Every bride in Royal nuptials after Victoria carried on the ritual. If not quite true, it made for a nice, simplified story line.

Exploring the First American Silva
The North American Sylva is a beautiful scientifically and historically-significant work. Authored by François-André Michaux, it is the first American silva – a descriptive flora of forest trees. Published originally in French in 1810, the first English version appeared in 1817, and it was further enhanced with supplementary volumes by Thomas Nuttall in the 1840s.

When Writing in a 15th Century Rare Book is a Good Thing: Exploring the Incredible Marginalia in the Smithsonian's Naturalis Historia
"Do your reading!" and "Don't write in your books!" are two oft-echoed directions from schoolteachers. A 1491 edition of Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia, housed in the Smithsonian Libraries' Joseph F. Cullman 3rd Library of Natural History and recently digitized for the Biodiversity Heritage Library, challenges both of those commands: not only did Pliny write it in such a way that doesn't necessitate reading it cover to cover, but readers in centuries past have added notes, reactions, and even corrections to every page of the book!

Speaker: Rahul Ghai, Associate Professor, School of Development Studies, Indian Institute of Health Management Research University, Jaipur.
Issues of 'internal minorities' or 'minorities-within-minorities' have increasingly complicated the domain of minority rights in the last few decades.'Pasmanda', a Persian term meaning "those who have fallen behind," refers to Muslims belonging to the marginalized castes. The Pasmanda movement resists the dominance of high caste Ashraf Muslims and reveals the possibility of the Muslim-Minority space, thereby complicating the majority-minority (Hindu-Muslim) duopoly. In this talk, Khalid Anis Ansari will examine how the emerging socio-political conditions that inform the democratic striving of the Pasmanda movement may tentatively be termed as 'post-minority'.

This dastangoi presentation, about nomadic pastoralists and the settled world, follows the trails and trials of a neglected people, in a forgotten style of storytelling. Like the herder following the herd, storyteller Ankit Chadha has followed the herders in Gujarat, Uttarakhand, and Rajasthan. Speaking of a sustainable way of life, the dastan was originally told for Living Lightly, a curated exhibit on pastoral lifestyles.
Ankit Chadha, a writer, researcher and story teller specializes in weaving new narratives for Dastangoi – the art of story-telling. His writings varies from biographical accounts of personalities like Kabir and Dara Shikoh; to modern folk tales on nomadic pastoralism and the Internet. He has spoken on Dastans at Princeton University, Harvard University and Yale University. Additionally, Ankit has innovated the form of musical narratives that uniquely brings together stories and music. Ankit works for young audiences as well and has performed the Urdu adaptations of children's classics including 'Alice and the Little Prince'. He is the author of the award-winning book for the children, 'My Gandhi Story' (Tulika Publishers, January 2014) and the recently released 'Khusrau – The Man in the Riddles' (Penguin Random House India, October 2016). Earlier this year, he was a Fellow at Sabarmati Ashram Preservation and Memorial Trust, Ahmedabad.

In this tutorial, you will learn how light entities work by creating a gold spotlight that shines down a wall. A light entity behaves like a ball or a beam of light, and is used to add local lighting effects or spotlights to an area.
Click the 'Cube' icon to create a cube entity.
Change the color of the cube to teal (Red = '0', Green = '128', Blue = '128').
Create and edit the light entity to get a soft gold spotlight.
The domain sun shines from one side, so one side of the wall is already bright. Light from the light entity won't show up on the bright side of the wall.
Click the 'Light' icon to create the light entity.
Grab and move the entity to the top and center of the wall. You'll notice there is a white light shining on the wall. The light is small because of low brightness. This type of light is a point light and it emanates in all directions equally. It is meant for general area lighting as it has a bright point in the middle and fades as it radiates out.
Change the color of the light to gold (R = '255', G = '215', B = '0').
You can make the light entity brighter by changing its intensity. Change the 'Intensity' to '100'. You'll see that the light is now covering a larger area and is much brighter.
You can modify the light entity's 'Fall-off Radius' so that the it dims gradually towards the edges. The 'Fall-off Radius' defines the shape of the light curve of a light. A larger radius will simulate a larger light, which will "fall-off", or dim, more gradually. It is the distance from the light at which the intensity is reduced by '25%'. Change this value to '0.5'.
Select the 'Spotlight' checkbox to convert the light entity to a spotlight.
Change the 'Spotlight Cut-off' to '50'. This property determines the radius of the spotlight. A higher cut-off value corresponds with a larger spotlight radius. You should see the beam tighten get smaller.
Change the 'Spotlight Exponent' to '5'. This property affects the softness of the beam. You should see the edge of the beam soften.
Rotate the spotlight so that it's facing down the wall by changing the 'Local Rotation's' X value to '-90.0000'. A spotlight positioned like this can be used for a soft lighting effect over paintings or wall hangings in your world.
Congratulations! You've created a soft gold spotlight! You can experiment with different spotlight exponents, cutoff values, and intensity combinations for varied effects.

Q: Trying to send React Form Data to google Sheets The goal of the Project is to find a way to send form data to google Sheets using React.js and eventually use google sheet as a database nothing sensitive just basic information for requesting a Cleaning Service.
This is the first time I'm using google sheets so I decided to create a practice form to it out if it will work I followed a tutorial on Youtube and a blog but ended up in the same place. Every time I click submit the page URL changes to something like this "website.com/form?Name=Andrew+Irorere&Email=andreyscot%40gmail.com&Message=pls+work+this+time
but nothing shows up on the google sheet
The Google Sheet with viewer permission
Pls the web app id is an example I changed a few letters because I think that's case sensitive
import React from "react";

export default function FormPage () {
  function Submit(e) {
    const formEle = document.querySelector("form");
    const formDatab = new FormData(formEle);
    fetch(
      "https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKdycbxUX4dy2QEQ7r9TwrSo9vAHydDXv4VwtEDUpdCifXaEecIH2bWHQSnFWtd9NdNIUVGDdQ/exec",
      {
        method: "POST",
        body: formDatab
      }
    )
      .then((res) => res.json())
      .then((data) => {
        console.log(data);
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.log(error);
      });
  }
  return (

Green for green: How Fresno's failed parks tax came to be
Alex Tavlian July 9, 2019, 11:37 pm July 10, 2019 Comments Off on Green for green: How Fresno's failed parks tax came to be
We're proud to introduce SUNLIGHT, an occasional series from The San Joaquin Valley Sun aiming to inform on critical issues involving the Valley's public officials and public policy initiatives.
What follows is Part I of our first series: Green for green, focused on Fresno's 2018 parks tax – Measure P.
Measure P, the 2018 failed attempt to raise taxes in Fresno in an effort to improve parks, was among the most heated and expensive political campaigns in Fresno's history. The story behind the coalition that created and supported Measure P, which could charitably be described as an odd combination, hasn't been told until now.
The old adage that "politics makes strange bedfellows" was never more apparent than by the coalition of north Fresno power brokers and south Fresno activists fighting to improve Fresno's parks.
The reality, however, is more complicated.
The genesis of Fresno's failed 30-year, 3/8th of a cent increase in sales tax for parks, by all measures, could be identified as April 2010.
It was then that the multi-billion-dollar nonprofit California Endowment announced a 10-year initiative targeting 14 regions across California.
The initiative – known as Building Healthy Communities (BHC) – would launch from San Diego's City Heights neighborhood in Southern California to Del Norte County on the Oregon border.
The Endowment focused its presence on "Central/Southwest/Southeast Fresno." For locals, that translated to roughly anything south of Shaw Avenue, the so-called "blight line" of the city.
The Fresno BHC, headed by Sandra Celedon and overseen by former Asm. Sarah Reyes (D-Fresno), would take on a number of initiatives aimed at generally improving health care and quality of life in south Fresno.
The nonprofit developed a potent mix of public relations initiatives, such as billboards along Shaw Avenue exerting pressure on then-Fresno Unified Superintendent Michael Hanson and the school board during budget negotiations, and behind-the-scenes public affairs lobbying on key priorities.
Meanwhile other moves were even more stealthy, such as recruiting former Fresno Mayor Alan Autry to publish an Op-Ed in the Fresno Bee in 2014 calling on Fresno County to save its Medically Indigent Service Program.
In 2015, Fresno BHC and Fresno City Hall had its first public clash. The subject of the spat? A set of bus ads sponsored by BHC displaying two ZIP codes – one in north Fresno, another in south – and the amount of parks acreage in the two regions.
The underlying health argument: more parks equalled healthier lifestyles and longer life expectancy.
The Swearengin administration banned their appearance on Fresno's FAX busses, citing a policy not to allow political advocacy on city property.
While the row over bus advertising faded, the underlying issue didn't. Eventually, surprisingly, it would draw the two sides together.
The ParkScore
Few Fresnans have ever heard of The Trust for Public Land.
It's a nonprofit aiming to "create parks and protect land for people, ensuring healthy, livable communities for generations to come." It also operates a political arm, the Trust for Public Land Action Fund.
Many, however, have heard at least a casual mention of its most successful project: the ParkScore. Often couched in headlines praising or critiquing cities across America for plentiful or scarce green space, the ParkScore is nothing if an ever-so-slight method of public policy shaming.
For Fresno, the ParkScore has held a particular sting. For many years, Fresno has served as the basement dweller in TPL's national rankings thanks to metrics such as park acreage, facilities maintenance and funding, and "access."
In 2019, Fresno ranked 92nd of 100 cities, a modest jump of two spots from 2018, and still yielded the same hand wringing and dismay by parks advocates.
For TPL, the rankings are just an opening salvo to a wider array of work.
Starting in 2015, the City of Fresno, under the Swearengin administration, began to build a working relationship with the Trust for Public Land.
By February 2016, according to emails obtained by The Sun, then-Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin huddled with the Trust's staff at their headquarters in San Francisco's Financial District for a discussion.
That discussion bore fruit quickly.
In a February 22, 2016 email from Mary Creasman, TPL's then-Government Affairs chief, to Swearengin's government affairs manager, Danielle Bergstrom, Creasman makes the first mention of a ballot initiative tailored toward parks funding.
By the end of February, the Swearengin administration submitted a request to TPL to provide "technical assistance" and prepare a feasibility study "to finance land conservation, trails, parks, and a potential related ballot measure."
Outreach collides
With a mandate from Swearengin, the Trust for Public Land went to work on a feasibility study related to Fresno's parks system.
In a presentation made to city officials, staff at TPL laid out the procedure for their feasibility study. The focus of the study, as displayed in the presentation below, was aimed at electoral paths toward funding park construction and renewal.
However, all the on-going feasibility studies ran into a wall as Fresno began to wrestle with the Master Parks Plan.
By June 2016, the Swearengin administration began the early stages of updating the Parks Master Plan, and decided to solicit outside consultants to help with community outreach.
In emails, TPL staff shared their worry with the Swearengin administration that the bidding for a parks outreach consultant would render their current work moot.
"It sounded like the work we are doing around feasibility research and polling for a potential ballot initiative might be covered in the parks master planning scope and the community engagement RFP that is being worked on," Creasman said in an email to Bergstrom. "We want to make sure we are not duplicating efforts."
City officials allayed the concern, but nevertheless sent the bidding sheet to TPL, along with Fresno BHC, Jeffrey Scott Agency, Shared Spaces, Bertz-Rosa, and Catalano Fenske & Associates.
Ultimately, the $172,000 contract would be awarded to Bertz-Rosa, a public relations and branding firm operated by Suzanne Bertz-Rosa with an interesting twist. Then-City Councilmember Lee Brand joined the liberal wing of the City Council in approving the contract.
Catalano Fenske & Associates, led by public relations whiz Cary Catalano, and Fresno BHC would serve as subcontractors.
The move was highly controversial.
Bertz-Rosa and Catalano had strong ties to Swearengin: both Bertz-Rosa and Catalano served on city commissions appointed by Swearengin and Catalano had been backed by Swearengin in an unsuccessful campaign for City Council in 2014.
In reviewing the project during the council meeting, Councilmember Steve Brandau probed Celedon, BHC's local leader, as to whether the group would pledge to stop "a division between north and south Fresno in your outreach."
Celedon answered back that Building Healthy Communities was not an activist group.
With the contract's eventual approval, BHC had plastered its infamous ZIP code advertisements, banned by Swearengin on city buses, on billboards across the city advocating for more parks in south Fresno.
Meanwhile, Esmeralda Soria joined Brandau and Clint Olivier and voting against the contract, citing it as a waste of money and a duplication of effort.
By January 2017, the discussion wouldn't matter. Council member Brand became Mayor Brand and Garry Bredefeld was the new face of northeast Fresno on the City Council.
On a kick to eliminate expensive consultants and lobbyists, Bredefeld joined Soria, Olivier and Brandau to cancel the contract.
By that point, Bertz-Rosa, CF&A and Fresno BHC had spent roughly $15,000 of the $172,000 initially authorized.
Running out the clock
Six months after Swearengin signed a letter of intent to begin feasibility studies of park funding, the Trust for Public Land coughed up its draft of a feasibility study.
The 48-page document laid out the various pathways to funding. It identified five pathways: bonds, parcel taxes, sales and use taxes, a charter amendment to reallocate taxes for parks, and the creation of a special district to enact taxes over particular areas.
Trust for Public Land City of Fresno Feasibili (PDF)

In Appendix H, the nonprofit's team lays out the required amount of voter support for a tax to be enacted via the ballot.
For a city or county to enact a special tax, or a tax used for a specific purpose, TPL's feasibility study reiterates the need for two-thirds of voter approval, per state law.
As the draft of the feasibility study circulated among city officials, TPL transitioned to its next step in the process of conducting feasibility work: polling.
By mid-September 2016, Team Swearengin and TPL began working to construct a public opinion poll to gather the pulse of the community regarding a potential tax hike for parks.
On the campaign trail to replace Swearengin, Brand and then-Fresno County Supervisor Henry Perea were forced to reckon with water chemistry and the impact of treated water on Fresno's galvanized piping.
With the city's policy-making grinding to a halt in campaign season, TPL and Fresno BHC worked to get parks on the campaign agenda, even in a bit role.
On Sept. 27, 2016, the two organizations hosted the "Parks4All Mayoral Forum." Brand and Perea both attended.
With the city's parks contractors – Bertz-Rosa, Catalano and BHC – now aboard, they joined Team Swearengin and TPL in editing the feasibility poll in October.
According to emails obtained by The Sun, Team Swearengin was continuing to tweak and provide edits up to and past Election Day on Nov. 8, 2016.
Edits ranged from amending turns-of-phrase to adding in questions in order to evaluate the appetite for parks investment by the city.
One email from Swearengin policy advisor Bergstrom to TPL staff informed that after consulting Swearengin on the battery of questions, there might be a need to test additional issues.
Among Swearengin's concerns, as relayed by Bergstrom:
"…the other major vulnerability would be that 1) we don't have enough police officers, so why would we spend money on parks? And 2) something about city hall not having a good track record…tortilla factory, Met Museum, Granite Park, baseball stadium, near bankruptcy – these are all near boondoggles that media and others highlight from time to time."
The polling itself would be paid for by the Trust for Public Land.
The poll, conducted by Oakland polling firm EMC Research, would go into the field Nov. 15, 2016 – a week after Brand was elected to succeed Swearengin.
The poll results showed some unique findings.
Among the eight issues polled, "maintaining high-quality parks, trails, and recreational services" registered as the sixth-highest priority.
The top issue, naturally, was reducing neighborhood crime. Ninety-two percent of respondents identified it as a priority, with 69 percent identifying it as their top priority.
The poll asked respondents their opinions on a 1/8th-cent sales tax in with a 10-year lifespan to fund parks.
50 percent of voters told the pollster that they felt like they had been taxed enough and would vote against a tax hike, with 44 percent saying they would vote for the tax hike, and six percent unsure.
In sum, the poll tested 12 questions related to support of parks and only one question related to opposition.
After hearing the 12 points of positive messaging, respondents said they would support the 1/8th-cent sales tax by a margin of 76 percent to 20 percent.
After hearing the single piece of negative messaging, support for the tax dropped eight points to 68 percent, perilously close to the 66 percent threshold to enact such a tax.
Polling concluded on Nov. 20, 2016 and city officials would get their first look at the figures in the above PowerPoint just before Christmas.
And while Mayor Swearengin administration's term would end, Team Swearengin's work on parks was just beginning.
On Jan. 3, 2017, Fresno would see a new Mayor take the reins.

Fate: The Winx Saga season 2 release date, plot, cast, more
If you're looking for information on the Fate: The Winx Saga season 2 release date, you've come to the right place — here's everything we know
Fate: The Winx Saga
Is there a Fate: The Winx Saga season 2 release date? The original Netflix series, which is loosely based on animated series Winx Club, has been a hit for the streaming service ever since season 1 dropped in January 2021. Following in the footsteps of Bel-Air and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Fate: The Winx Saga is the latest Riverdale-ification of popular childhood TV series'.
The concept itself seemed destined to be a hit and miss, but with former Vampire Diaries showrunner Brian Young at the helm, the teen drama series definitely turned out to be a hit. Reimagined versions of beloved characters like Bloom, Aisha, and Stella, captivated audiences, with season 1 amassing 918 million minutes in combined viewership within days of its release on the platform.
Needless to say, given the clear demand, a follow-up season was inevitable. I, for one, can't wait to return to the halls of Alfea College, so let's get straight to the point: namely, the Fate: The Winx Saga season 2 release date, plot, cast, and more.
Fate: The Winx Saga season 2 release date
All-new episodes of Fate: The Winx Saga will drop on Netflix on September 16.
While season 1 of Fate: The Winx Saga had six episodes, season 2 has an extended run — with eight episodes all dropping at once on the streaming service.
"The six episodes in season one only scratched the surface of this incredibly rich world and the powerful fairies who inhabit it," showrunner Brian Young explained in a statement to Variety.
Away with the fairies: Best fantasy movies
"As Bloom's story continues to evolve, I can't wait for you to learn even more about Aisha, Stella, Terra, and Musa! And you never know who might show up at Alfea next term."
Fate: The Winx Saga season 2 trailer
The Fate: The Winx Saga season 2 trailer was released on August 23, 2022.
Netflix had previously released a short teaser for the second season which mainly served to introduce Flora (Paulina Chavez), the cousin of Terra (Eliot Salt). In the teaser, Terra and Flora can be seen embracing after an unexpected reunion.
Fate: The Winx Saga season 2 plot speculation
Season 2 of Fate: The Winx Saga will likely follow from season 1, which sees the evil Rosalind take over as Headmistress of Alfea College after murdering Farah in cold blood.
In Netflix's date announcement for the series, small clips from season 2 are shown — and from these clips, it definitely looks like things are about to get a lot darker at the College with Rosalind in charge.
Abigail Cowen, who plays Bloom in the series, also teases "new villains" and "new additions to the school" in the date announcement video, adding that "season two is just a whirlwind of emotion and adventure."

Further to this, the official synopsis for season 2 is as follows: "Fate: The Winx Saga follows the coming-of-age journey of five fairies attending Alfea, a magical boarding school in the Otherworld where they must learn to master their powers while navigating love, rivalries, and the monsters that threaten their very existence."
"From creator Brian Young (The Vampire Diaries), Fate: The Winx Saga is a live-action reimagining of the Italian cartoon series Winx Club by Iginio Straffi."
Fate: The Winx Saga season 2 cast
