Sarah J. Coles (1967-) is a Canadian composer based in Cambridge, Ontario. At Wilfrid Laurier University, Sarah studied composition with Boyd MacDonald, Peter Hatch, and Glenn Buhr. She later continued her studies in Brandon, Manitoba with Pat Carrabre. Composition was slow for a number of years while Sarah raised three children, and she still considers her career to be at the 'emerging' stage. She holds a Bachelor of Music in composition from Wilfrid Laurier University, a Bachelor of Education from the University of Toronto, and a Master of Music from Western University. Sarah is also a multi-instrumentalist, teacher, artist, and writer. Her experience playing saxophone with big bands has brought a jazz influence into her composition, which she plans to expand on. Sarah's creative endeavour of landscape oil painting has raised an interest in combining visual art with music through installation projects. Her music is often influenced by natural phenomena; landscapes, storms, bodies of water, and emotional journeys. Her compositions for choirs, bands, and chamber groups have been performed in the US, Canada, and England.

Local Wins
Putting Patients First in Narre Warren South
The Andrews Labor Government is putting patients first in Narre Warren South.
Across our nation - and around the world - the pandemic has put unprecedented pressure on health systems. From a sharp increase of critical COVID patients to disrupted care, resulting in longer hospital recovery time, the last two years have really knocked our health system around.
When we came to government, we put an end to the war on our paramedics. We took ambulance response times from the worst in our history to the best. Now - just like we did before - we'll ease the pandemic pressure on our hospitals and our healthcare workers.
The Victorian Budget 2022/23 will invest over $12 billion to put patients first, with a Pandemic Repair Plan for more staff, better hospitals and first-class care.
Our healthcare workers have been on the frontline of this pandemic, and we know how important it is that we support them into the future.
We're backing our healthcare workers with training and the extra pair of helping hands they need, so they can give you the very best care.
That's why the Budget is delivering funding to train and hire up to 7,000 new healthcare workers, including 5,000 nurses.
We'll provide 1,125 new Registered Undergraduate Nursing Positions and 75 new Registered Undergraduate Student of Midwifery roles over the next two years, and we're also recruiting up to 2,000 ex-pat and international healthcare workers through a global workforce recruitment drive.
Right around the nation, demand for emergency services is at an all-time high. Our Triple Zero call-takers and dispatchers are dealing with unprecedented call volumes.
But when you call for an ambulance, every Victorian should have the confidence one will arrive. That's why we're delivering another 90 paramedics - which means we've added 790 extra paramedics to the workforce since we came to government.
And to help our frontline workers reach Victorians who need help faster, we're investing $333 million to add nearly 400 new staff to increase Triple Zero call-taking and dispatch capacity for Triple Zero services, including ambulances, and training more operators to allocate calls across the state.
We're also going to make sure that every local community gets the health infrastructure and services they deserve. That's why this Budget invests $2.9 billion to build new hospitals and deliver upgrades to health services in every corner of our state.
By expanding our emergency departments, adding more surgical beds to get more elective surgeries done and increasing maternity care services - this Budget will ensure more Victorians get the very best of care, close to home.
We're also addressing significant demand for emergency services in our Casey by redeveloping and expanding the emergency department at Casey Hospital as part of a $236 million package. This will ensure locals get the very best healthcare, while giving our nurses and ED staff, extra resources and rooms to treat more patients.
As we roll-out our Pandemic Repair Plan to make sure people in Narre Warren South get the care they deserve, we're also getting on with delivering the schools, roads and public transport services they rely on.
We know you can't get a first-rate education in a second-rate classroom. That's why we're investing over $18.9 million at Kambrya College to create an additional 400 spaces for students in classrooms - because the Andrews Labor Government believes in giving every child the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
To make sure every young Victorian gets the education they need for the career they want, the new VCE Vocational Major and Victorian Pathways Certificate will replace VCAL, offering students more choices, a higher-quality curriculum and better workplace experiences - preparing students to jump into further study, training at TAFE or work as soon as they leave school.
The VCAL reforms will save many Victorian families up to $1,000 by cutting out-of-pocket costs, with students no longer having to pay for essential learning materials for VET studies.
Local communities deserve great places to play sport and under an Andrews Labor Government, they will have them. We're investing $88 million to build, upgrade and renovate community sporting infrastructure. This will deliver bigger, better change rooms, club rooms and community spaces for our community to enjoy, including $1.5 million to upgrade the space and build larger female change rooms at the Strathaird Reserve - so the Narre South Cricket, Football and Netball teams get the sports infrastructure they need to support more women getting involved in sport.
Thousands of Victorians rely on their local buses and trains to get them to work, school and around their community. We're meeting growing demand in Casey by expanding bus routes 863 and 895. We're also delivering 10-minute services in peak periods on the Cranbourne train line, so locals can get to work and back to their loved ones sooner.
But that's not all - we'll also keep supporting our growing suburbs, with an additional $50 million for our Growing Suburbs Fund so we can continue building health and wellbeing hubs, new parks, and community centres in our growing suburban and peri-urban communities.
We also know that Victorians are paying too much for their energy bills - that's why we're stepping in to help families get the best deal. We're giving a once-off $250 payment for all Victorian households that use the Victorian Energy Compare (VEC) website - the Victorian Government's independent price comparator website - to search for the cheapest electricity plan that suits their needs.
With this Budget, we're getting on with delivering for all Victorians.
Quotes attributable to Member for Narre Warren South Gary Maas MP:
"Nothing is more important than the health of our loved ones. With an expansion of the emergency department at Casey Hospital this Budget will give local families the confidence that when they get sick, the care they need will be there for them."
"Our students are our future. They deserve the best learning spaces so they can reach their full potential and that's what the Andrews Labor Government is delivering for students at Kambrya College."

Mihai Tican Rumano (Berevoești,  - Bucarest, ) est un écrivain voyageur de l'entre-deux-guerres et collectionneur d'art roumain. Certains de ses ouvrages ont paru sous le pseudonyme de « Michel Tican ».

En 1934, à Addis-Abeba, Mihai Tican Rumano est reçu par l'empereur Hailé Sélassié  d'Éthiopie. Il relate son expérience de l'Abyssinie dans son ouvrage Abisinia, publiée en 1935 avec une préface de Radu Rosetti. Dans le contexte de l'agression de l'Italie mussolinienne contre l'Éthiopie, Hailé Sélassié, impressionné par sa connaissance de l'histoire et de la civilisation du peuple éthiopien, le décore de l'ordre de l'Étoile d'Éthiopie avec le grade d'officier.

Le collectionneur d'art
Collecteur d'art passionné, Mihai Tican Rumano fait don en 1959 de 170 tableaux (huiles, aquarelles, fusains, dessins et gravures) et 27 sculptures à la section d'arts plastiques du musée municipal de Câmpulung, inaugurée en 1960. Quelques années plus tard, en 1965, une galerie d'art riche de 120 tableaux est aménagée dans l'ancien bâtiment de l'école de Berevoești, son village natal.

In memoriam
L'école primaire de Berevoești porte aujourd'hui le nom de Mihai Tican Rumano.

Œuvres
Mihai Tican Rumano a longtemps vécu en Espagne et en Amérique latine, et nombre de ses livres ont été traduits en espagnol. Il est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages relatant ses voyages en Afrique, en Espagne et en Argentine.

Home / Insights / How bad are China's capital outflows?
Capital outflows from China have been rampant; but perhaps they are not as bad as market perceptions have it. There are signs that they may be slowing down.
Headline data shows that China's FX reserves dropped by USD319.8 billion YoY in 2016 on the back of an estimated current account surplus of USD192.8 billion. This suggests that capital outflows amounted to USD512.6 bn, or more than 16% of FX reserves. Conventional wisdom has it that capital outflows have continued to soar, putting an undue pressure on renminbi depreciation and prompting the PBoC to tighten up on capital controls.
However, the estimated USD512.6 billion outflow in 2016 was 39% smaller than the USD 843.3 billion outflow in 2015. While outflow pressure is evident in the sharp growth in China's FX deposits recently, the growth this time has been much slower than in the past two rounds when market sentiment turned against the renminbi (Chart 1). There has also been no loss of domestic renminbi deposits (Chart 2), suggesting no evidence of capital flight.
Statistically, capital outflows have been distorted by a valuation effect on China's FX reserves. Since China reports its FX reserves in USD terms, a soaring dollar against other currencies would have trimmed the value of the reserve portfolio by eroding the dollar value of other currency assets even when there was no change in the asset positions. By our estimates, the valuation effect reduced China's FX reserves by USD57.1 billion, or 11% of the estimated capital outflows. Adjusting for this, capital outflows were USD455.5 billion in 2016.
On the trade side, China's widening service trade deficit1 is a source of capital outflows. This is less of a concern at this stage as it is not large enough to overwhelm China's current account surplus (Chart 3), which is a source of capital inflows. China still enjoys a basic surplus (Chart 4), although it has declined recently due to capital outflows.
Overseas direct investment (ODI) has become a new source of outflows since Beijing pushes for renminbi internationalisation and a "going out" investment strategy in recent years. Annual ODI has risen exponentially (Chart 5), albeit from a very low base, and is also responsible for the decline in China's basic surplus by eroding net FDI inflows. The rising trend of ODI will likely continue in the longer-term since China's international investment position remains small relative to other major countries (Chart 6).

Q: How to get repeated item's values with ng-options on ng-change? AngularJS I have cars object and I'm binding it on my selectbox. I want to get all values of my selectbox repeated options. I am trying to get my selected car's value with passing a parameter by function. How should I do this?
My codes below.
Thank you!

var app = angular.module("App", []);

app.controller("Controller", function($scope) {
  $scope.val = "";

  $scope.cars = [{
    "no": "1",
    "name": "Audi"
  }, {
    "no": "2",
    "name": "Opel"
  }, {
    "no": "3",
    "name": "Volkwagen"
  }, {
    "no": "4",
    "name": "Skoda"
  }, {
    "no": "5",
    "name": "Mercedes"
  }];

  $scope.Do = function(resp) {
    $scope.val = "current car's val is: " + resp;
  };

});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="App">

<head>
  <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
  <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.26/angular.min.js"></script>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>AngularJS</title>
</head>

<body ng-controller="Controller">

  <select ng-model="araba" ng-options="item.name for item in cars" ng-change="Do(item.no)"></select>

  <p>{{val}}</p>

</body>

</html>

A: Many peoples asking same question in here, we can get a selected value from dropdown by this below 3 ways(mainly)
First Way:
please try this way
<select ng-model="araba" ng-options="item.name for item in cars" ng-change="Do(this)"></select>

js side
 $scope.Do = function(resp) {
    $scope.val = "current car's val is: " + resp.no;
  };

Second Way :
<select ng-model="araba" ng-options="item.name for item in cars" ng-change="Do(item)"></select>

js side
     $scope.Do = function(resp) {
        $scope.val = "current car's val is: " + resp.no;
      };

Third Way
<select ng-model="araba" ng-options="item.name for item in cars" ng-change="Do()"></select>

js side
     $scope.Do = function() {
        $scope.val = "current car's val is: " + $scope.araba.no;
      };

A: change the select like,
<select ng-model="araba" ng-options="item.name for item in cars" ng-change="Do()"></select>

change the Do() function as,
$scope.Do = function() {
    $scope.val = "current car's val is: " + $scope.araba.no;
};

you don't need to pass the selected value to do() function. instead you can get the selected value by using scope variable $scope.araba.
here is the Plunker

Just joined. Just wanted to say hello. 25 stone (I think as the bathroom scales gives up after 23 and half stone) and feel pretty fed up about it. I have a very sedentary job. I do enjoy playing Tennis although I admit that all other forms of exercise I don't really care for at the moment. I currently play two hours a week. I find it difficult not to think about much else other than work so playing Tennis helps as I cant concentrate on both! If I go out for a walk, I only think about trying to figure something out with my work. I'm self-employed and some weeks I earn very little and other weeks I do well so it is a constant worry so If I'm on a treadmill, I think "I've had enough of this. I must crack on and get the next bill paid!" I am a very reluctant talker about personal issues and just stick a smile on my face and crack a joke instead and it has taken me a lot to sign up to a site such as this. All that has to change though and I have to conquer my weight issues as I fear I will be in a lot of trouble health-wise if I don't. I'm currently 45 and have been increasingly overweight since spine issues started 15 years ago. My spine is certainly a lot better now but I have to be careful. Basically I just feel very low emotionally and physically. I have only just managed to get a consistent and sensible sleep pattern together after coming off Tramadol for multiple intercostal and trapezoid muscle tears after picking up a piece of kit of some 75Kg and awkwardly twisting (What an idiot I know!) I now get to bed in good time and sleep for 7 hours. Previously I would what I call "Snack sleep" with just 4 hours sleep a night and sometimes not sleep for two to three days, I think this could have been Tramadol related because I only had sleep problems after coming off the stuff. My muscle and back issues and my sleep patterns are now resolved and I consistently go to bed between midnight and 2am and get 7 hours. Now I must attack my mind-set and weight! Help! Cheers, Rob.
Welcome to social Slimmers Rob!
Have you got a particular plan in mind that you are looking to follow?
HI Sarah! Thanks for your kind reply. In a nutshell, no. Given the scientific nature of my work and interests I feel a "measured" approach with food stuffs and exercise would suit me best. So weighing foods and calculating content and calculating calorie burn with exercise as I intend to get back to the gym from the 23rd of Jan. At the moment, I just eat whatever I cook which I would be the first to admit is too much anyway! A couple of good things though is I don't dislike any food-stuffs and I also don't miss foods If I don't have them available in the fridge or cupboard. I also don't get certain food cravings. For example, I don't have to have a pudding and very rarely do unless eating out which is once to twice a month. Danger is though, If I buy a trifle say for four people, I will scoff the lot in one sitting! Or, If I eat a sensible amount, next time I feel hungry (perhaps 3 hours later), I will just lazily pick that same trifle up before anything else and eat that again! I'm all over the place really. Sometimes I have what I call a "Veg fest" and just eat a large bowl of salad with as many ingredients as I have to hand albeit with a nice bottled dressing.
I know I can succeed, I have just reluctantly conceded that I do need help. I visited my ex-wife a couple of days back, she is very supportive and we get on extremely well. She is 9 stone and very fit. She cooked a small ravioli dish and we had rocket and some really tasty Pimm of Picc something or other mini-tomatoes. It was great, very flavoursome and I didn't need to eat again for I think 3 hours. Although I looked at what was on my plate and I thought it would never be enough. That was a wake-up call!
I think we're all guilty of the same things on here! I know I sat and ate tons of food I didn't need to eat over the past 2 weeks, so I'm getting back into the mindset of being more sensible!
Personally I can't get my head around calorie counting. I've tried it and it just didn't stick. I know it's a simple enough process, but I wasn't a fan of counting calories for veg etc.
But we all prefer different methods as not everything works for everyone!
There are a few others who were following calorie counting prior to Christmas, and though it's been quiet recently, I'm sure we'll see more once new year passes!
It can be surprising how filling 'small' looking meals can be... in another that feels my plate needs to be piled high when it really doesn't if you pick the right foods. Very surprising sometimes!
Yeah I know what you mean. I've chatted to a few mates of late and they are following restrictive diets of one type or another. None of them following calorie counting either. One chap has banned all carbs except certain veg. Parsnips and potatoes are off the list for him. Another following "diet" product everything. Another, no carbs at all. They are all having success in their own way. Ultimately I'm taking the view to begin with, a smaller plate, nothing banned but not to stock any bad foods in the house! A couple of weeks back I saw a bargain galaxy bar I think it was 10" by 4 or 5" for a quid and that lasted just two days!
Yep I will keep the posts up. Once I have made my mind up about something, that's it.
Oh yes! The piled plate!
Well tonight, it's going to be a large chicken fillet with a slice of buffalo mozzarella stuffed inside it "450cals" (and I will have to watch I don't cut off two more slices and just eat them as is. One slice and get the remainder to the fridge asap and not leave it on the side to put away later). Wrap that in two slices of Parma ham "550 cals" and again get the Parma ham to the fridge quick immediately after slicing otherwise I will clear the pack! Salt and pestle and motared pepper a quick swish of olive oil and in the oven for 22 mins at high heat. Having that with two carrots, 4 little new potatoes and florets of broccoli.... I reckon on 740 calories for that lot. The only other stuffs today has been 100g of porridge which I think is 300 cals, 2 pears, 2 apples and 4 orange easy peeler things. 7 cups of tea (skimmed milk) and four black coffees... Can't bothered to work that bit out. 250-300 cals perhaps??
Hi Bevziibubble and thanks for your welcome!
It's all rather friendly on here thus far!
Hi Rob. Welcome to the forum. I'd like to think we're all very friendly, so feel free to ask for any advice or tips. I don't follow a plan anymore but like to try to eat clean, with limited processed foods or added sugar. It seems to work for me. So good luck!

Open 9-5 Mon-Fri for free to individuals, and eves and weekends to volunteer groups, most revenue will come from rentals for meetings to non-members (seven conference rooms, offices, and open areas rent at $35/hr each) and paid memberships for people who want a permanent address ($157.50/month includes 24/7 access, mailing address, storage, and a reserved desk in the open loft area).
There is a coordinating group with three members, and there are four workgroups (and growing) with organizers including Christie Koehler, Reid Beels, and Audrey Eschright of Stumptown Syndicate, an Oregon nonprofit that will have software programming workshops for women starting in August, Clifton, a web designer with spiky hair who hosted a mentorship event in July with three sessions: business, software development, and visual communications, Ryan Gard of Ground Floor / Reality Check, groups with hundreds of members who have screenplay readings of 10-30 people, and Dawn of BookCyclePDX, who sets up libraries around town, including a resource- and skill-sharing library at "Collective Agency" with 400 books and a bookshelf. Coordinating member Summer Abbott hosts Young Women Social Entrepreneur planning meetings.
The "Collective Agency" coordinating group practices open book management, educating members and supporters about all expense and revenue estimates, and all money-in money-out, along with education about what the numbers mean. Members have paid the rent, own the furniture, and have a constitution.
Paid members include Lindsay Hill and Nita Hill, executive coaches for nonprofit boards, along with software developers, consultants, and conference organizers. Paid meetings include photographers who like the natural light, brick walls and Herman Miller chairs. Portland's biggest footwear apparel and software companies, along with local startups, have had team-building meetings there. Fitzhugh Ryland, a coordinating member, has artwork up.
Mondays 9-5 are the best days to come for the first time. Bring a laptop, write, draw, or have a discussion.
Starting August 1, the location at 322 NW Sixth Ave, Suite 200, will fully become "Collective Agency". It's between Everett & Flanders, on the Yellow and Green MAX lines. Buzz "200" when you arrive. The phone will ring once or twice and you'll be buzzed up. It's a cozy and comfortable place to do work alongside other friendly people in the open loft. Noise and phone calls are encouraged. The main request is that you be considerate of others. Conference rooms are available for private phone calls or meetings.
"Co-working has been too sterile. It needs to get a little more lived in. More real," says Alex Linsker, a coordinating member and the main contact. "It's still a beautiful place, but now the reason to be here is the people." He asks, "What ideas do you have? What would you like to do here? You're invited to be part of this. We'd like to welcome you."

Reflections on Collective Agency's First Mentorship Speed-Dating Event
@maxticket Portland, Oregon
Last Saturday Collective Agency hosted the first of what we hope will be a
many events we call Mentorship Speed-Dating. The plan was to match
potential mentors and proteges looking to connect with like-minded
counterparts in a series of 15-minute pairings.
While I was planning and promoting the event, I began to realize that
others' ideas of what a mentorship is varied greatly from person to person,
often with very little understanding of the actual process and purpose. A
lot of the confusion led people to believe that mentoring is no different
from hiring an intern, becoming someone's personal secretary or getting
free labor out of a recent college grad for a few months. This only
strengthened my resolve to reach as many people as I could with an event
Overall, the event was a success, and led to several enjoyable discussions
in the paired rounds as well as larger group conversations before and after
each round.
The idea was to come up with an event that would bring people in multiple
disciplines together with the hope of fostering long-lasting mentor
relationships, but also with the understanding that any combination of
people with similar interests would have something to gain from a 15-minute
chat on their topic. The concept that both parties, mentors and proteges,
stand to learn a great deal about their fields and themselves was also
something we wanted to make clear.
Everyone who attended the event had something to share and something to
gain. We provided them with forms to fill out that expressed what they were
interested in, what they hoped to learn, and what they felt they could
offer. We had three categories: Business, Software Development and Visual
Communications, one after the other. Attendance began the strongest in the
morning, with Business, and fewer people came to each of the other
groups–exactly the opposite of what I'd been expecting.
The group discussions prior to each speed-dating round helped everyone get
comfortable with the others while they introduced themselves and discussed
what they expected to gain from the event. Each group handled itself a bit
differently, with certain attendees taking the reins and leading the
discussion while others listened, but there was hardly a lull throughout
the day. Interest and enthusiasm seemed fairly consistent, and some
conversations lasted longer than the event itself, leading into the streets
of Portland long after the doors were locked.
We hope to keep Mentorship Speed-Dating going, and we hope we can help
others appreciate the value of the mentor-protege relationship. It's my
belief that everyone should be on both sides of that process whenever

Junctional complex between two cells in the epithelium of the rat intestinal mucosa. The tight junction (also known as zonula occludens) is the structure located nearest to the lumen. The elimination of the intercellular gap (approx 90 angstroms) is clearly visible, but the fusion line of the two apposed membranes cannot be clearly distinguished at this magnification. The adherens junction (also known as zonula adherens) is the next structure. A relatively wide intercellular space (approx 200 angstroms) is maintained throughout this junction. Extensive actin filament networks are seen along both sides of the junction which are continuous with the terminal web into which the filamentous rootlets of the mircovilli penetrate. Dense material can be seen along parts of both sides of the junction. The limits of a desmosome are marked by the edges of the dense plaques. Desmosomes are characterized by a wide intercellular space (approx 240 angstroms) bisected by an intermediate line. Bundles of intermediate filaments (diameter approx 80 angstroms) converge into a dense plaque on each side of the desmosome. The trilaminar structure of the cell membrane is clearly seen along the microvilli, between the Zonula Adherens and the desmosome and within the desmosome.First description of 1) tight junctions and 2) the junctional complexes between epithelial cells, consisting of tight junction, adherens junction and a desmosome.

Spending Time With… Shaun Anthony Robinson ( @ShaunRobinsonAu ) #supportindiefilm
Written and directed by Shaun A Robinson, That's Not a Knife is a documentary about the hard and often unglamorous life of an actor. It explores the difficulties of succeeding in the industry and starting relationships.
Its the story of an actor who fights back against the odds by overcoming his own fears and creating his own path to Hollywood, documenting his journey along the way. He meets other actors who share their own fears and insecurities with him, helping help him to understand his own journey better and inspire others to do the same.
Thats Not A Knife is written and directed by Shaun A Robinson and he took time away from his work to join the wonderful list of wonderful people who have taken the time to answer the Spending Time (online) questions. So lets spend some time with …Shaun Anthony Robinson
When people ask you 'so, what do you do?', how do you introduce yourself?
It depends on who's asking… but, I usually tell them I'm making a documentary, it's a great conversation starter, people love when you're doing something and it goes on from there.
What's the first thing you do when you get on 'set'
I introduce myself to everyone, even those not directly related to the film sometimes, one time I introduced myself to a random guy, he looked at me funny and replied, "I'm the cleaner". I always like to offer any help but ultimately I stay quiet, especially if they are rolling.
Do you have any traditions that you have when you are involved in a project?
I tend to sing in the car on the way to set, it helps get me pumped. The style of song depends on the roles or scene I'm doing that day, I'm that guy, sitting in his car singing at the top of his voice without a care in the world.
What was the most recent book you read?
Apart from a bunch of scripts, it would have to be Cat in the Hat.
What's one of your favourite current Television shows you are watching?
There are so many good TV shows on at the moment that it's hard to pick just one, but among my faves would be Supernatural, Mystery Road, No Activity, Wolf Creek, Romper Stomper, Picnic at Hanging Rock and A Place to Call Home.
What's the most 'starstruck' you have been?
I met John Farnham once, for about 20 seconds but I wouldn't say that get starstruck really, more in awe of what they've done in their careers and respect for how hard they worked for it.
What was one of the most memorable films you saw as a child?,
Crocodile dundee of course, Mad Max and Back to the Future.
What do you find the hardest part of your creative process and how do you deal with it?
The hardest thing about the creative process is believing that you can actually do it and not giving up on yourself. I deal with it by remembering what started this for me in the first place and also by finding the people to support me.
What is one of the best pieces of advice you can remember being given and from whom?
I've received a lot of advice from a lot of different people, some more relevant to me and my situation than most but throughout the documentary there have been things said and conversations had that has inspired me to keep pushing, to never stop, to have belief in myself and they have come from a variety of people, their stories have impacted mine in ways I couldn't have imagined when I first started on this journey.
If you could change one thing about the industry you are in, what would it be?
More equality, make it less bitter and get rid of the tall poppy syndrome amongst other things.
Do you read reviews of projects you work on?
Yes I do, good or bad, there's always something to learn or take away from that, especially if it's bad, I don't let it deter me.
If you had to make a 'bucket list' of people you'd love to work with, tell me one name who would be on it?
Again, hard to pinpoint just one person, there's so much talent out there, I'd love to work with all of them, but some of the people who spring to mind would be Steven Spielberg, Chris Hemsworth, Quentin Tarantino, Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Toni Collette, Rose Byrne, Isla Fisher and Bruce Willis.
Do you prefer day shoots or night shoots?
I can't say I'm a fan of the dark but I do prefer working at night, though a lot of the time when you're on set, it's hard to tell if it's day or night.
What is one of your most favourite locations you have filmed in?
There's been a few, but I loved working on Hollywood Boulevard and Santa Monica in Los Angeles.
What film always makes you laugh?
The latest movie I watched which had me crying in laughter was Seth Rogen's film 'This is the End'.
What film scares you?
Bloody scary ones, there are certain films I simply won't watch, such as 'The Human Centipede', but I don't mind acting in a horror dfilm and being the scary one but watching them is a completely different story. I even have trouble watching the ones I'm in, like Devil Woman, I totally enjoyed being a part of it, bringing it to life and playing the 'monster'.
What film do you love that you feel most people might not be aware of?
I have two films that stand out to me, the 1986 film 'Stand by me' and the 1992 film 'The Power of One'.
In your creative roles, what is the longest day that you've ever had?
Some days feel longer than others, but one of my longest days so far would have to be 16 hours.
Do you have any 'props or keepsakes from your films?
I have a couple that I held on to, little keepsakes that remind me of some of the work I've done.
Aside from significant moments like this documentary and the Westpac Bridge Hero Ad I did a little while back, not giving up on myself is something I'm the most proud of.
Have you ever gotten someone's autograph? Which is the most memorable for you?
For a long time I did have Shirley Strachan's signature but I lost it and I don't think I have anybody else's except possibly Chopper Reeds.
That's not a knife is a documentary about the hard and often unglamorous life of an actor. It explores the difficulties of succeeding in the industry and starting relationships. Most people only ever read about celebrities who make it big,

Victoria Semykina
Hiding behind the illustrations of Bottom Up! Victoria Semykina, a young Russian artist, came to Bologna guided by her passion. Already student in an art school from the age of 5, a few years later, she attended art high school and the Academy of Fine Arts in Moscow. She is one of those people who can say she always knew what she wanted to do when she grew up.
With a striped shirt, dreamy eyes and a red bike locked outside her house, she could be the embodiment of one of her characters: she fell in love with sunny, open and lively Bologna where she finished her studies and then decided to stay. Her style is free and sometimes humorous - "or at least this is what they tell me" she says. In short, a style that fits like a glove with Bottom Up! as does the philosophy that guides Victoria's hand: "I often remind my students to design architecture by perceiving it as an artist and not as a designer". She reveals: "A designer must perform volumetric calculations and stick to strict proportions when designing an architectural work. On the other hand, the artist doing the same thing must be able to perceive the music, the atmosphere, the daily life swarming in it. The artist is absolutely free".

DNEG and Brompton Technology partner to forge new virtual production worlds
DNEG is one of the world's leading visual effects and animation companies, honoured with five Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects for its visionary work on Inception, Interstellar, Ex Machina, Blade Runner 2049 and First Man. In 2013, it set up a TV episodic arm to expand its offering, which has grown exponentially with the boom of streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV Plus. In recent years, and further driven by the impact of COVID-19, the company has developed its offering in virtual production - an exciting venture that has led to a close collaboration with Brompton Technology.
DNEG's amplified focus in the area, and an upscaling in its work on episodic shows in addition to its traditional film work, involved creating a new in-house studio environment tailored to virtual production. This required the company to do some due diligence on the tech they were bringing into the fold.
"We are seeing more and more filmmakers becoming interested in the developing possibilities for virtual production," explains Paul Salvini, Global CTO, DNEG. "This interest has intensified in the last few months due to the effects of social distancing on travel and the number of people that can safely be on set. Our team was excited to work with Brompton because of their expertise and a shared passion for excellence and innovation."
The Brompton team has worked closely with DNEG's virtual production team, and particularly Head of Virtual Production Isaac Partouche, for the past nine months. "We've developed a great working relationship with DNEG, working closely with the entire virtual production team from the start to give them a thorough understanding of how to get the best out of their LED panels on set," says Brompton Technology's Technical Project Manager, Adam Callaway.
Partouche has been supervising DNEG's virtual staging requirements for its upcoming shows and remarks on the importance of having Brompton on set with the team.
"The Tessera SX40 4K processors have been a great addition to our virtual production set-up," says Partouche. "The image processing is impressively fast, the 'Genlock' options synchronize the content correctly across the LED volume with significantly less latency response and by using Brompton's Hydra dynamic calibration tools we're able to get the best HDR results from the wall."
DNEG's technology requirements are moving rapidly to cater to client demand, and the company has already provided virtual production services for Kenneth Branagh's new take on Death On The Nile and Andy Serkis' sequel to blockbuster Venom, as well as director Denis Villeneve's highly anticipated re-imagining of Dune.
"We've also recently completed some exciting new LED volume tests," continues Partouche. "Brompton has been very closely involved in these, and the Tessera processing has made a big difference to how easily we've been able to set everything up and get it looking great. The initial tests were completed at Dimension Studios in Wimbledon - the footage of our Gunslinger test is online, shot by our Creative Director Paul Franklin, and we have completed subsequent tests on a larger scale at Shepperton Studios. We also have an in-house creative lab setup, which is a useful proof of concept facility."
This in-house set up has allowed DNEG to push the technology to see exactly how far they can go when on set.
"Working with Brompton on our virtual production offering has been exciting," concludes Partouche. "Brompton products have become an integral part of us being able to create real-time worlds and environments, allowing us to create a new way of working and giving both our filmmaking partners and our creative teams free rein to unleash their imaginations."

Africa should learn from a Masai Homestead instead of depending on Development Aid
Africa should learn from a Masai Homestead instead of depending on Development Aid.
I did not know that the Masai tradition is coupled with leadership democracy that is more unique than the Western democracies. The hidden secret has gone for centuaries in a ritual process to choose a leader after every ten years from a youth training camp and the chosen leader has to take the budden of leading the group baring responsibility for both good and bad deeds of this group. It is not just the Masai Homestead as seen from a Western birds eye view but a complex University where adolescent excellence is exhibited.
The Kenyan economist Shikuku James Shikwati might have seen the first snow in Berlin this year but he chose the story of the Masai as an intro to his theory of boycotting the Western Development Aid for Africa to drive the point home. He is coordinating an Inter-regional Economic Network from Nairobi.
James Shikwati knows very well that for over 50 years, Africa has been getting development aid that has never changed the situation on the continent and for him the sovereinity of Africa based on robust infrastructure is the alternative to counter this dependency.
I found myself sitting among the many students and individuals who had come to listen to this indigenous economist from Africa who has written several books and stood on his analogy of pulling Africa out of the statusquo. The continent has all the rich natural resources and a potential to sustain itself, all that is needed was to anchor the sovereinity as a bargaining power.
If the topic "Stop development Aid to Africa" could attract such a large audience to listen and discuss with the Guest of honor James Shikwati, then the different opinions expressed during the debate definately anchored the very theory advocated by this African economist. He was of the opinion that International institutions like WTO, IMF, World Bank etc need to be democratized so that the sovereinity of Africa can be guaranteed.
I was not surprized to note that diaspora Africans among the audience got more interested in the discussion rather than the majority Europeans who only listened attentively. The American gentleman who thought that millions of dollars collected in Seattle to fight Malaria in Africa was a good example of Aid for Africa forgot the fact that Malaria continued to kill more children in Africa dispite this guesture. Pharmaceutical companies use data collected on immunization and research for own profits and the killer mosquito remains immune to the medicine given to prevent Malaria.
Unfortunately time ran out for questions and the audience was refered to the next ssesion that was to take place the next day at the Otto-Sur Institute in Dahlem. Thanks to Africavenir, the think Tank that organized this discussion.

Fifty-five years later, there are only three (3) tractors (the type of Massey Ferguson that can plough) in Masaka, Bukomansimbi, Lwengo and Kalungu districts, perhaps because the land has also been too much fragmented.
One of the three tractors (my father and I call them karakita) is stationed at Kamenyamiggo Agricultural Centre.
At least let us be aware of such ugly facts to know the descending highway our country has been fast sliding especially from mid-80s. Sadly, it continues to dive into the abyss.
The Lord Bless You.

One minute with Ngugi wa Thiong'o
I regret to have been tongue tied on Monday the 10th of September, 2012. This was the day when I had a chance to meet some one I adored in my youth time, some one whose writings inspired me to love literature since I was a school boy. I sat among the audience that had come to listen to a great African novelist and author of several literature books. I was with a friend who had joined me before the begin of the session but had no idea who this Professor of comparative literature was. None the less the theme of the evening was "The portrait of an African dictator" based on the book "Wizard of the Crow" written by Professor Ngugi wa Thiong'o.
The hall of the adjacent stage at the Berliner Festspiele house on Schaperstrasse 24 looked like a haunted theater venue with a jar of water, three empty glasses and three microphones placed on a wooden table. Three old fashioned antique chairs for the panel stood in the middle of the stage behind the table to face the public. The background of the stage was a designers' menu as the sound technician kept on switching the microphones from one speaker to another from the back bench. At exactly 21.00 hrs European Time, came in the two members of the panel with the guest of honor through the side door entrance and sat at the table, the house applauded with a clap of hands. A brief welcome introduction with the background information of the author was given before the stage was set for a literary evening to analyse his book that was selected for the International Literature Festival in Berlin this year.
Professor Ngugi wa Thiong'o was asked to explain why he chose to write his books in the native language and later translate them into English language. He stood firm to defend his thesis on the equivalence of all world languages as a means of communication and regretted that only colonial languages were imposed on us as languages of power, education , judiciary and commerce. He did not believe in African literature written in colonial language and asked the audience to imagine German literature being written in Zulu Language to see the comparison. The lady who sat in front of me with a mobile phone that kept on ringing with a loud beep was technically bankrupt. She fumbled to switch off the gadget and in the process did not register that Professor Ngugi wa Thiong'o promptly juxtaposed the sound of her phone to describe not only an African dictator but many different characters that included dictators like Augusto Pinochet of Chile, Ferdinand Marcos of Philippines, and even the host country Germany as history has recorded.
As passages of the "Wizard of the Crow" were being read in German language, Professor Ngugi wa Thiong'o amused the public by saying the German version of the novel appears to be more exciting than the original version. The couple that decided to leave the hall from the back bench with their loud shoe steps might not have realized that the Professor was comparing a global world where capital transfers to maximize profits without boarders is a global problem with a subservient consequences. The colonial languages are the vehicles used to extend this dictatorship as they become the forms of power, education, commerce and judiciary.
I was happy to have attended this presentation but my regrets came when I could not articulate my self in Swahili language as the Professor greeted me at the end of the official program. I had gone to get his signatory on a copy of the "Wizard of the Crow" and "A Grain of Wheat" which I had purchased at the book store within. How soon could I have forgotten that inside this theater room, a Professor of African literature was imparting in us the essence of Language that included Swahili as a lingua franca in East Africa….,, I promised to him I would come back with some journalists for the next day presentation. I never appeared for that session but I had to console myself and remembered that "Laughter" was the best therapy with which the author had based his book that I was going to read: If Professor Ngugi wa Thiongó sat in a detention room without trial at Kamiti Maximum security center in Kenya for a whole year looking at the same wall, dressed in the same clothes, eating the same food, then the answer to this boredom could only be "The Wizard of the Crow". www.ngugiwathiongo.com

Aicardi Syndrome Clinical Presentation
Author: Ravi Sunderkrishnan, MD; Chief Editor: Maria Descartes, MD more...
Aicardi Syndrome
Sections Aicardi Syndrome
Anticonvulsant agents
Aicardi syndrome is often diagnosed in female infants only after the onset of seizures or when the presence of dysmorphic facies prompts further evaluation.
If only visual abnormalities or developmental delays are present, the condition may not be recognized until the onset of seizures, or if ophthalmologic evaluations demonstrate characteristic chorioretinal lacunae, which are considered pathognomonic for Aicardi syndrome and are shown in the images below.

Chorioretinal lacunae.
Ocular abnormalities limit visual ability and are blinding in some children. A less common presentation is that of retro-orbital cysts and optic nerve hypoplasia. [11]
Presumably, asymptomatic children who have not undergone neuroimaging in utero are not recognized unless they are incidentally screened by an ophthalmologist or brain imaging specialist.
Some children are diagnosed in utero with brain-structure abnormalities. Most often, the absence of the corpus callosum on the fetal ultrasonogram prompts further imaging studies.
Anomalies of the sulci and gyri, periventricular heterotopia, associated cerebellar and brain stem anomalies with absent corpus callosum, can also be evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to aid in the diagnosis and to better determine the prognosis in Aicardi syndrome. [11]
Seizures are a common initial manifestation, most frequently infantile spasm. Chevrie et al reported 97% of patients had infantile spasm, and most of these had seizures when younger than 3 months. [12] Additional seizure types noted include hemiconvulsions, complex partial seizures, and focal motor seizures. A study by Govil-Dalela et al indicated that compared with children who have nonsyndromic agenesis of the corpus callosum, those in whom the agenesis is related to Aicardi syndrome suffer earlier onset of seizures and worse developmental outcomes, with neuroimaging revealing larger areas of brain abnormalities in these patients. [13]
Global developmental delay is uniform, and most patients have moderate to severe mental retardation. This characteristic is probably due to the combination of brain dysgenesis and intractable epilepsy, although some children may walk and, in rare cases, develop expressive language.
Most of these children are unable to walk, due to spastic hemiplegia, and are bedridden. Children with Aicardi syndrome typically lack even rudimentary abilities to interact with their environments.
Certain malignancies develop more frequently, including embryonic soft-tissue carcinoma, hepatoblastoma, and angiosarcoma.
The neurologic examination can reveal microcephaly, axial hypotonia, appendicular hypertonia with spasticity that often affects one side, and brisk deep tendon reflexes, as well as hemiparesis. [14]
Moderate to severe global developmental delay and intellectual disability are expected, but individuals with only mild or no learning disabilities or developmental delay have been reported.
Infantile spasms, seizures, or epilepsy develop before age 3 months. Electroencephalography (EEG) can reveal asynchronous multifocal epileptiform abnormalities with burst suppression and dissociation between the two hemispheres; hypsarrhythmia is sometimes identified.
Pathognomonic lesions, called chorioretinal lacunae, commonly cluster around the optic disc of the eye and are described as punched-out, white or yellow defects. These lesions characteristically lack pigment, a characteristic that helps to distinguish them from lesions seen in infectious chorioretinitis. Classic chorioretinal lacunae do not enlarge or progress. Although other ocular lesions are present in Aicardi syndrome, this manifestation is pathognomonic for diagnosis. [15]
Other common ocular lesions include the following:
Microphthalmos
Retrobulbar cyst
Iris synechiae
Remnants of fetal pupillary membrane
Craniofacial
Microcephaly, hemifacial asymmetry, microphthalmia, or plagiocephaly may be present. Short philtrum and cleft lip and palate are also seen.
Constipation, gastroesophageal reflux, diarrhea, and feeding difficulties are perceived by parents to be the second most difficult problem to manage after seizures. [8]
Small hands, along with an increased incidence of hand malformations, have been reported.
Costovertebral abnormalities, such as hemivertebrae, fused or butterfly vertebrae, and rib abnormalities, may be present.
Scoliosis resulting from these deformities can be disfiguring and disabling. A study by Grigoriou et al indicated that Aicardi syndrome–related scoliosis progresses rapidly and does not respond to bracing. Scoliosis was first noticed in the study's patients at a mean age of 3.9 years, at which time the mean Cobb angle was 22.5%, while the patients' first orthopedic visit took place at a mean age of 5.8 years, when the progressed mean Cobb angle was 39.5%. [16]
The exact mutation and its cause in Aicardi syndrome are still unknown and disputed, although an X-linked dominant mutation in a gene on Xp22 is considered a likely source. It is suspected that events early in gestation, probably in weeks 4-8, give rise to the mutation. Because a patient with Aicardi syndrome can have an unaffected twin, the potential etiologies of prenatal hypoxia and prenatal toxin are no longer in favor. [14]
Spontaneous mutation is most likely, because siblings appear to be spared and have not been reported in parents of an affected female.
The only affected male patients have been described as having an XXY genotype. The presence of Aicardi syndrome in males with a 46,XY karyotype has been disputed, but new cases have been reported. It is possible that these cases are caused by mosaic mutations of the gene. [14]
Skewed X-chromosome inactivation may account for some clinical heterogeneity. [17]
According to one report, another etiologic possibility remains in which Aicardi syndrome is caused by a new mutation on an autosome (eg, 1p36), with sex-limited expression in females. [14]
The aforementioned study by Piras et al indicated that in patients with Aicardi syndrome, differential DNA methylation patterns exist in several neurodevelopmental and/or neuroimmunologic networks, with the investigators suggesting that these networks contribute to the syndrome's pathogenesis. [5]

Q: How to add watermark at the bottom of image and save it to server like 9gag.com I want to upload images to my website, before uploading.. I want to add a watermark at the bottom of the image that will have full width on background but website logo size will NOT change.
example image (look at bottom): http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/5265056_460s_v1.jpg
or http://www.damnlol.com/i/fb77b9fd16be21d394003164d6087bdd.jpg
I want to do it using ASP.NET and C#..

A: Why not do this dynamically to any images that your site serves?
Look at Image Handler section, MS actually gives some working code on adding an imagehandler that adds watermark dynamically to an image served to a users browser (so you don't have to add the watermark to your physical images.
As for the image dimensions, you could simply do some code that will check the image dimensions, and possibly add different watermarks etc, or add a generic watermark like 9gag have done and crop the image, so it will always 'fit'.


Just before Christmas I had the honor of spending an hour with a group of forty elders at their retirement community. The occasion for my visit was that I had been invited to come and give a talk about "How To Maintain Spiritual and Emotional Wellness Through the Season of Winter." Here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the days are quite short this time of year and it is important for all of us, no matter how old or young we are, to be proactive about staying well. I accepted this invitation without hesitation because I have found that I always benefit from spending time with people who have more years of wisdom on this earth than I do. I began my time with these wonderful people, most of them in their 80's and 90's, by sharing with them a core teaching from our Living Compass wellness programs. That teaching is, "The wisdom is already in the room." This teaching is a reminder that whenever a group of people gather to discuss wellness and wholeness, every person brings a great deal of wisdom with them. It is also an effective way to remind people that the most important wisdom can be found within what people already know and not necessarily in what some presumed "expert" knows.
So as I began my "talk" at the retirement community, surrounded by a room full of wise souls, I said, "The wisdom is already here in the room. You have gained it over the years and have brought it with you today, and together we are going to learn from each other about how to enhance our spiritual and emotional wellness." I'm delighted to report that they spent the next hour proving my assumption to be correct.
I had a large pad of paper on an easel and together, as a community, we worked to create a list of essential habits and practices they gleaned as being good for the nurturing of one's heart and soul. What made the list so powerful, is not just the ideas that were shared, but the context within which they were shared. Many of the elders shared quite personally about very real challenges they were facing, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and so the wisdom they shared was clearly coming deep from their life experiences. I made sure to copy the list and I share it with you here. I hope you enjoy and appreciate the wisdom I found in this group as much as I did.
"Things That Strengthen One's Spiritual and Emotional Wellness as Shared by the Residents of St.John's on the Lake, Milwaukee, WI, December, 2016"
Cultivating an "Attitude of Gratitude"
Reflecting back on this experience, I know one thing I would add to this list as something that I believe always enhances our spiritual and emotional wellness: Spending more time with the elders in our families and in our communities.

Golden Fleece > Golden Fleece pubs
craftsman's art and music's measure
for thy pleasure all combine.
Golden Fleece pubs
The Golden Fleece represents the wool trade and was a popular name for English pubs that were meeting places for people associated with the wool trade. A standing live ram held by a hoisting belt was the emblem adopted by the Duke of Burgundy. Early lodges of freemasons took the name of the pub where they met.
The Romans introduced hot baths, straight roads and pubs. Roadside inns opened at regular stages, where travellers could find food, drink and sometimes a bed for the night. Later, travellers sought overnight accommodation in the many monasteries.
After Henry VIII destroyed the monasteries and sold off the monastic lands, pubs associated themselves with the predominant trade in a district as a way of gathering custom, such as the Golden Fleece (for the local wool trade). Pubs were meeting places and often acted as unofficial employment exchanges. A craftsman moving to the area would seek out a pub where the landlord could introduce him to an employer or extend credit until he established himself in business. Landlords regularly offered banking services to customers and allowed employers to pay their workers on the premises. By the 18th century, the larger inns had become sophisticated commercial centres with strong rooms, storage facilities and lines of credit for businessmen.
York, UK
Golden Fleece is one of the oldest coaching inns in York and is mentioned in 1503.
Before 1557 it belonged to the Merchant Adventurers whose ancient hall is behind the Inn. The adventurers were responsible for the woollen trade with York being the principle woollen centre outside the capital in medieval times. The present sign appears on a half penny inscribed: "ye golden fleece 1668".
John Peckett owned the Inn and in 1702 became Lord Mayor of York. The yard became a coaching station for travel between York - Manchester - Liverpool. Many couriers also worked form the fleece.
By the 19th Century the inn was usually called the 'Fleece'.
The whole building is wooden framed and originally had three gables into the street.
There once was a wide entrance to the front, the original arch now surrounds the front door and window. The old entrance is recorded in a 1910 photo with the sign saying "Golden Fleece Hotel". Next door is the picturesque Sir Thomas Herbeists house which he bought from the Adventurers in 1557. On the otherside was a banqueting hall where Charles II was entertained by Lord Mayor Roger Jacques in 1639.
During WWI the fleece seemed to have been a popular drinking place for the army. In 1915 the landlord was taken to court for allowing soldiers to drink outside the hours permitted by military orders.
Dover, USA
Built in 1730s, Golden Fleece Tavern was the meeting place for American Rebels during the Revolution and served as a wartime communications hub. The Golden Fleece was the meeting place of the Delaware Assembly's Upper House until 1791. The Golden Fleece is where the vote was taken and passed to ratify the U.S. Constitution in December 1787, Delaware was the very first state to ratify the Constitution.
The Fleece Inn at Bretforton
A pub steeped in history like The Fleece, has many stories to tell. Its historical significance to the Cotswolds and the Vale of Evesham is immense. Owned by the Byrd family since the days of Chaucer, it was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1977.
The Fleece Inn at Bretforton is proud to host The Vale of Evesham Annual Asparagus Festival in association with the British Asparagus Association and Wychavon District Council. Featured on "Robbie Coltrane's B Road Britain".
The Fleece, Witney
The Fleece is a fine Georgian building overlooking the expanse of Witney's beautiful Church Green. Reputedly a favourite watering-hole of Dylan Thomas, when he lived in South Leigh, it has twice been voted one of the top twenty pubs in the UK.
Provenance is key to serving trustworthy food. Coffee is ethically sourced from Guatemala (by Union Coffee Roasters, recently voted No. 1 ethical coffee company) and the bespoke furniture is made from European oak and iroko timber from sustainable forests. The Fleece operates as energy efficiently as possible in consultation with the Carbon Trust.
