Josean Martínez Alija is, by a large margin, the best chef of the vegetable kingdom. He excels in this category when he tackles it exclusively, and it is a terrain he visits regularly. Stellar creations include the cucumber-melon salad with mint, kefir and grapefruit aromas; Sahagún leek confit with pork juices and nutmeg; carrots and their juices over beets… and the glorious roasted eggplant threads with licorice and olive oil yoghurt, a formula that deserves to be included in the Artistic Dishes of the Year section, and with high honors. What has happened is that this chef, who has risen in the rankings this year to a 9.25, has received two awards in this category as well as the Patissier of the Year, which may seem to us excessive but certainly deserved.
In this recipe we find a brilliant testimony to artistic minimalism. A cut of avocado, the fattiest of all fruits, that emulates a piece of foie gras. The avocado is "steamed" in its own juices to 75ºC, preserving its body, consistency, meatiness, creaminess and immaculate flavor–this fruit has never been treated in such a natural, intelligent fashion. Raw and hot, or even lukewarm. It almost seems like vegetable version of Iberian ham, satiating with its flavors. Succulence both green and fatty, supported by a profound broth of baby squid with incredible aromas, acidulated and perfumed with cilantro that adds magic and nuances to something so humble yet exceptional. The most important avocado dish in history.
these three minutes, leave to sit covered for an additional three minutes.
Strain and reserve the liquid for the base of the broths and the mussels separately.
for a few moments, add the mussel broth and pour this mixture in the Gastrovac. Cook at 50ºC.
fine sieve and clarify with 1 egg white for every kilo of broth.
and leave to infuse for 5 minutes. Strain, add the lemon vinegar and pass through a cheesecloth if necessary. Salt to taste and serve. The broth infusion and the lemon vinegar should be done the day of service.
for 5 minutes. Once softened, add the fish pieces and bones. Increase the heat and sauté for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2- Season lightly. Add the wine and boil for 15 seconds to reduce the acidity. Add the water and the bouquet garni, comprised of leek (green part only) and parsley. Leave to boil for 20 minutes over low heat.
3- Remove from heat and leave to sit for 10 minutes.
Bring the fumet to a boil in a pot. When it starts to boil add the chopped avocado flowers, remove from heat and cover. Leave to sit for 5 minutes and strain, pressing lightly. Store in the walk-in.
Cut the avocado down the middle and remove the pit. Peel and season with salt, white pepper and nutmeg on both sides. Have the steamer ready with the fumet of avocado flower. Place the avocado halves in the steamer with the concave part face up. Cover and steam. Cook for 6 minutes after it begins to boil. Steam over low heat. When finished, take care to maintain the internal temperature between 75 and 80ºC.
Season with hazelnut oil, brushing the entire surface of the avocado, along with a dash of nutmeg. Arrange the grains of salt and cilantro flowers and serve carefully.


It's the death day of Hart Crane, who passed away seventy-eight years ago on April 27, 1932. Hart Crane committed suicide. But it was a cheery suicide, as suicides go. Even if the consequences leading up to the suicide were bizarre and far from happy. You have to credit Crane for his courtesy in shouting "Goodbye, everybody!" to a crowd before throwing himself off a steamship into the Gulf of Mexico. I mean, how many of the hundreds of people who have thrown themselves off the Golden Gate Bridge have managed to even do that? The Dead Writer's Almanac staff has conducted an informal poll, and it seems that people who shout "Goodbye, everybody!" just before leaping to their needless deaths are now considered exhibitionists who rely upon some crude cry for attention, the equivalent to that annoying guy at the party who complains about the lackluster canapes and the diminishing liquor supply. Suicide victims are now expected to leap to their deaths with a stoic resolve. No commentary. Just the self-immolation itself. But that seems needlessly limited when you're a talented American poet.
In any event, this suicide arose after poor Crane was beaten just after attempting to proposition several officers. An even more bizarre element concerns his fiancee, Peggy Baird, who had just experienced a freak accident involving an exploding cigarette lighter. With his fiancee bandaged and sedated aboard the cruise ship. it was small wonder that the sexually confused Crane plied himself up with liquor and made bold barebacking suggestions to the ship's crew.
But we can proud report that Jasper Johns, who was greatly inspired by Crane for a great number of his works, is not yet dead. (Hi, Jasper! Keep painting that canvas!) It is also quite possible to celebrate Crane without being compelled to mimic his exuberant demise. It's always a good day for poetry. Just be sure that your loved one doesn't screw around with a lighter on the fritz.
Stay writing, don't die too early, and keep in touch!
John Berryman waved before he jumped from the Washington Avenue bridge, so maybe it's a poetical thing? We need a few more poetical suicides before we'll know for sure. Perhaps the NEA should fund a study.
Wow, I'd never even heard the story of Crane's suicide. Wild.

Q: How to call Stored Procedures (with 2 parameters) in a Stored Procedure? I have stored procedures with same parameters (server name and date). I want to write a stored procedure and Exec them in that SP (called it SP_All).
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SP_All]
AS
BEGIN
exec sp_1   @myDate datetime, @ServerName sysname
exec sp_2   @myDate datetime, @ServerName sysname
exec sp_3   @myDate datetime, @ServerName sysname
exec sp_4   @myDate datetime, @ServerName sysname
END
Go

error: Must declare the scalar variable "@myDate".

A: Try this one -
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SP_All]

       @myDate DATETIME
     , @ServerName SYSNAME

AS BEGIN

     EXEC dbo.sp_1 @myDate, @ServerName
     EXEC dbo.sp_2 @myDate, @ServerName
     EXEC dbo.sp_3 @myDate, @ServerName
     EXEC dbo.sp_4 @myDate, @ServerName

END

A: You are executing stored procedures the wrong way
exec sp_1 @myDate datetime, @ServerName sysname

is completely wrong syntax.
When you have to execute a stored procedure with parameters, first declare parameter and pass it..
declare @myDate datetime
declare @ServerName sysname

exec sp_1 @myDate, @ServerName

This is the right approach..

A: I see two issues here:

*

*Your procedure apparently takes two parameters, @myDate and @ServerName, which you have not declared yet. Do so by adding the names and the types between the procedure name and AS.

*When calling sp_1 to sp_4, there is no need to specify the data type of the parameters again (that's been taken care of by the declaration, see point 1).
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SP_All]
    @myDate datetime,
    @ServerName sysname
AS
BEGIN
    exec sp_1 @myDate, @ServerName
    exec sp_2 @myDate, @ServerName
    exec sp_3 @myDate, @ServerName
    exec sp_4 @myDate, @ServerName
END

I gave you my love, and you gave it away. That's why my heart is blue and my skies are gray.
I'm angered because you wasted my time, hurt because I believed you were mine.
I'm leaving you and the thought of you behind, because I just need to clear my mind.


1. David Cameron's closing speech. We will need to confront Britain's culture of irresponsibility, and that will be hard to take for many people. We will have to tear down Labour's big government bureaucracy.
2. Pledges to keep pensioner bus passes, pensioner TV licences and the winter fuel allowance whilst linking pensions to earnings.
3. Pledges to keep Sure Start centres and child benefit payments.
4. Bono thanking the Conservatives for promising to fight world poverty.
5. Signing up to the Royal British Legion campaign to support our Armes Forces, their families and veterans.
6. Meeting Yorkshire Water bigwigs to discuss flooding, water meters and local reservoirs.
7. Speaking in the transport debate about local bus service cuts, vandalism at Slaithwaite railway station and free pensioner bus passes.
8. George Osborne safeguarding 100,000 front-line jobs.
9. Meeting up with local Scouts to campaign against the "Rain Tax" – they allow girls to join now but boys can't be in the Guides!
10. More policy announcements than you can shake a copy of The Sun at.


So, I got one of these type things in the mail. Not exactly the same, but similar. My wife hands me the flyer and says, "I think we won a TV!" Below each prize is a number and the number uncovered in the scratch off matches the 4K TV!
I'm a skeptical guy, so I read the fine print and I can't find any gotchas in there. It looks like we really did win the prize. The numbers match, 1:65,000 odds, no purchase necessary, blah blah blah.
I take one of my sons with me to the dealer and since we're there, we talk to a salesman and look at some cars. I found this Subie Outback 3.0R with only 80k on it! I'm not really in the market, but I say I'm interested and give me a price.
Oh, I should say that the salesman deftly keeps the prize thing on the back burner until we're done talking about cars. I actually think I've won, and I'm OK checking out cars first.
After I say there is no way that I'll be buying a car today, we walk over to the prize board. It turns out that the numbers on the flyer below the prizes are just a distraction. "The numbers aren't associated with the pictures of prizes that happen to be near them." There is another little number printed near my name and address that has to match a number on the prize board. I won a 5$ gas card.
Sneaky bastards. But that's kind of what I expected from the beginning. And I won't be buying the Subie, although I would definitely go for something like that down the road.


Physical eye health exam. The external and internal parts of the eyes are examined using special instruments like a slit lamp biomicroscope, binocular indirect ophthalmoscope and special focusing lenses. Your pupils may be dilated with eye drops for some of these tests.
Refraction. This test determines your eyeglass or contact lens prescription and we perform precise measurements in several different ways to determine the lens formula that will work best for you. Instruments used include a computerized autorefractor, phoroptor and retinoscope, but an important part of prescribing lenses is for the doctor to understand how you use your eyes at work and leisure.
Binocular vision testing. We test your eye coordination to be sure your vision is comfortable and that your eyes work well together. This includes an analysis of the eye muscles used for movement, focusing and depth perception. If you have a problem with binocularity, your doctor may correct it with prescription glasses or vision therapy.
Tonometry. This is one of several risk factors for glaucoma that we evaluate. It is a measure of the fluid pressure inside the eye. We offer several ways to do this test: 1) a new generation of air puff test that is very gentle and quiet, 2) Goldmann tonometry, which is a device with a blue light that shines at the eye, or 3) a tonopen which is a gentle probe that touches the cornea for a moment (after anesthetic eye drops are instilled).
Visual field test. Every comprehensive exam includes a screening of your peripheral vision with a computerized autoperimeter. You click a hand-held button when you see small lights off to the side. It takes about 2 minutes per eye and it can help diagnose or rule out neurological disorders of the visual system.
Retinal photography. A special camera takes a digital color photograph of the back of your eye. This test is recommended on a routine basis to provide your doctor with a baseline record of the appearance of your retina, internal blood vessels and optic nerve. It is also used to document diseases and anatomical abnormalities and monitor them over time.
Macular Pigment Optical Density. MPOD is a measure of the risk for developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is a leading cause of blindness in the United States. This screening test measures the density of pigment cells in the macula and it is recommended for all patients age 30 and over. This test is evaluated along with 10 other AMD risk factors. Patients with a low macular pigment score may take nutritional supplements which will provide protection against macular degeneration and could even restore the pigment layer.


President Obama recently announced three new national monuments honoring key events in the civil rights movement and expanded both the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in Oregon and the California Coastal National Monument.
The White House said the president was using his authority to mark the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday by creating two new sites in Alabama — the Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument and the Freedom Riders National Monument — and one in South Carolina — the Reconstruction Era National Monument.
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell and National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis visited the Anniston, Ala., site of the new Freedom Riders National Monument, in October.
The new monument includes both the former Greyhound bus where an angry mob attacked civil rights activists coming from Atlanta on Mother's Day 1961, as well as the intersection of U.S. Highway 78 and State Highway 202 where the bus was firebombed later that day.
During that same trip, Obama administration officials also visited the site of the new Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument, which will protect the A.G. Gaston Motel where King set up his "war room" before the property was bombed in May 1963.
The hotel, which has been vacant for more than 20 years and is in need of restoration, will be used to "tell the stories" of the nearby historic 16th Street Baptist Church, where a firebomb killed four girls in September 1963, and Kelly Ingram Park, where then-Birmingham Public Safety Commissioner Bull Connor notoriously used fire hoses and dogs on civil rights protesters.
The third new monument will be located in the Sea Islands of South Carolina, comprising four sites in Beaufort Country dating to the Reconstruction Era.
The Reconstruction Era National Monument includes the Brick Baptist Church, which was built by slaves and later became the site of one of the country's first schools for freed slaves. Other sites in the monument include the Old Firehouse and portions of Camp Saxton in Port Royal where the Emancipation Proclamation was read on New Year's Day in 1863.
ALSO READ: Iceberg the size of a country about to break from Antarctic. Global warming at work?
The White House also announced today that the president is enlarging both of the West Coast monuments.
The California Coastal Monument was created by President Clinton in 2000. It spans the corridor off California's 1,100-mile coastline, protecting more than 20,000 small islands and pinnacles, as well as about 1,665 acres of public onshore lands in Northern California.
Obama already enlarged the monument in 2014, but congressional Democrats have pressed the administration to expand it to encompass more outcroppings as well as onshore sites.
The new designation will add 6,230 acres, including six more coastal sites pushed by members of California's congressional delegation.
The Bureau of Land Management, which manages the monument, dispatched Director Neil Kornze to the site in September, a clear sign the administration was seriously considering the proposal.
The Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument will add 42,000 acres of public land in Oregon and 5,000 acres in California in an effort "to increase vital habitat connectivity, watershed protection, and landscape-scale resilience for the area's unique biological values, particularly in the face of growing impacts from climate change," the White House said.
The monument was the first created with the sole intention of protecting biodiversity. Both of Oregon's Democratic Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden had urged Interior officials to add to the monument, arguing its existing 65,000-acre boundary left "a patchwork of vital habitats and watersheds unprotected".
Obama has used his powers under the Antiquities Act to protect more lands and waters than any other president.

Q: ngRepeat on a  with rowspan? A quick example like this:

  {{user.name}}
  foo

  {{user.age}}

How would something like that work in Angular? I've tried the above and it just doesn't work without messing up the layout. I've also tried wrapping the two
 with a  and it doesn't help either. Is this something out of ng-repeat's functionality?
EDIT: Keep it on HTML only, no use of JS code.

A: Silly me, I should've read through the documentation more:
http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngRepeat
Updated angular (needs to be > 1.16) so there's ng-repeat-start and ng-repeat-end:

What a disappointment from Samoan rugby player at RWC 7s in SFO?
It really puts a damper on such a wonderful World Cup hosted by USA.
In my option World Rugby has to put a stop this from happening.
Its not the first time Samoa Rugby players have been in trouble.
Rugby was introduced to Samoa in 1920 by the Catholic religious order the Marist brothers and – given later results – few feel this was not a Christian act.
Samoa full-back James So'oialo was accused of 'malicious intention' after grabbing South Africa's Adrian Strauss's testicles durimg a clash with South Africa earlier this year. Strauss responded by throwing a punch at him, which missed, and then chasing and swearing at So'oialo.
I know from my time in New Zealand I did not look forward to playing against Samoan players who were know for there dirty play of late tackles, stiff arm hangers to name a few.
Which brings us to present day: and the Gordon Langkilde charge of assault and three charges of battery at San Francisco court hearing after incident with Wales players off-field incident at AT&T Stadium in San Francisco after Samoa's loss to Wales on July 22, as the teams headed from the pitch to the locker room area.
Langkilde was taken into custody without incident at his San Francisco hotel on Sunday, the police said, after the Samoan Rugby Union (SRU) said it had provisionally suspended the player.
"Langkilde, a visiting rugby player (Samoa) is accused of assaulting two players of another visiting rugby team (Wales)," read a police statement.
The charges include three felonies and one misdemeanor.
The Welsh players , sustained facial injuries, suffered broken facial bones as a result.
A part from these disappointments off the field the USA did a great job hosting 2018 RWC 7s which are usually fun and exciting to attend.
It was good to see our Canadians doing there best and will improve in the future.
I bow my head to CBC for their excellent coverage with Nigel Reed and his broadcast team.

The Essential Nature of HBCUs →
The Rich History and Current Relevance of America's HBCUs
Posted on February 3, 2017 by andrewrhairston
This piece originally appeared in AFRO News on February 2, 2017.
On January 9, 2017, the remedial phase of The Coalition for Equity and Excellence in Maryland Higher Education, et al. v. The Maryland Higher Education Commission, et al. kicked off in Baltimore. This lawsuit, originally filed by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and Kirkland & Ellis LLP in 2006, alleged that the state of Maryland had failed to dismantle the vestiges of segregation at its four historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Using the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as well as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the plaintiffs asserted that the four HBCUs in Maryland – Bowie State University, Coppin State University, Morgan State University and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore – remained unconstitutionally segregated.
The current proceedings entail an evidentiary hearing that will ultimately address what remedies must be put in place to comply with the memorandum opinion issued by Judge Catherine Blake in October 2013; the court found that the state of Maryland had violated its constitutional obligations and maintained segregation in its higher education system. This case potentially represents one of the most significant developments in higher education desegregation jurisprudence in the past three decades. It could create an avenue for a number of beneficial programs to flow to the HBCUs throughout the nation, particularly those that are state-supported. Of particular note, the litigation finds itself in the midst of an on-going societal debate concerning the relevance of HBCUs.
To provide some background, the Higher Education Act of 1965 grants the designation of HBCU to any postsecondary institution 'that was established prior to 1964, whose principal mission was, and is, the education of Black Americans.' There are currently 105 HBCUs in the United States. Geographically, these institutions primarily span across the American South and Midwest. Their locations range from Texas to Alabama, from Oklahoma to West Virginia, and from Florida to Maryland. An HBCU is also located in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
A large number of the nation's HBCUs were founded in the century between the end of the Civil War and the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, they mainly served as training grounds for preachers and teachers. A host of HBCUs extended the gift of a postsecondary education to both women and men as soon as they began educating students. In the twenty-first century, though the nation's 105 HBCUs represent less than 3% of the colleges and universities in the country, they enroll 11% of America's Black college and graduate students.
Since their founding, HBCUs have played a significant role in defining the economic and cultural position of the United States in the global community. According to a study conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics ten years ago, the economic impact of HBCUs was $10.2 billion in 2001. The same study notes that, with regard to output (revenues), the nation's HBCUs would rank 232nd on the Forbes Fortune 500 list of the largest companies in the United States. In the decade since the report was issued, this impact of HBCUs has undoubtedly grown in magnitude.
Despite the positive contributions of HBCUs to American society, numerous challenges remain in their paths that hinder their ability to achieve their full potential. Arguably, the most notable among these modern tests is a national conversation concerning the role of these institutions in a steadily shifting educational landscape. Take my alma mater, Howard University, for example – a troubling letter released by the then-Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees nearly four years ago, though inaccurate in its prediction that the university would close in three years, continues to shed light on the struggles experienced by a number of HBCUs, including Howard. Especially in Maryland, an extensive history of second-hand, state-sanctioned treatment experienced by the state's four public HBCUs established persistent barriers to their ability to adequately compete and culminated in this lawsuit, which quickly approaches its eleven-year anniversary.
Personally, as an HBCU alumnus, these on-going debates often register in my mind. When I reflect on the legacy of HBCUs, I not only consider the supporting role that I play as a young civil rights attorney, but also the contributions of a host of family members, friends and colleagues to the ever-evolving narrative of HBCUs. Though they have traditionally been provided with fewer resources than their counterparts, these institutions perform and deliver under pressure. As the remedial phase of this litigation unfolds, I hope many will contemplate the past and present threads of the HBCU tapestry, such as David Wilson and Kamala Harris, and conclude that HBCUs are indeed relevant and worthy of commensurate investment.

The Girl Scouts Announce Debra Plousha Moore as the 2017 Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient
About Us About Hornets' Nest News The Girl Scouts Announce Debra Plousha Moore as the 2017 L...
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Sept. 18, 2017) – On Monday, executives from Girl Scouts, Hornets' Nest Council announced that Carolinas HealthCare System's Debra Plousha Moore will receive the 2017 Lifetime Achievement award at the Sept. 19 Women of Distinction event.
With a focus on women who are go-getters, innovators, risk takers and leaders, the Girl Scouts selected Debra Plousha Moore for its most distinguished honor based on her commitment to others and making a difference in the community.
Despite a demanding schedule as the system chief of staff and executive vice president at Carolinas HealthCare System, Moore is an active community member. In addition to serving on the 2016 Executive Committee of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, she is a board member with Fifth Third Bank, Duke Mansion, North Carolinas Military Business and Education, Charlotte Trees and Bennett College for Women.
"I am committed to making the world a better place, committed to women and committed to inspiring people to be their best," said Moore.
She joined the Girl Scouts as a Brownie and participated in the leadership development organization through high school. While in college, her work with the Girl Scouts continued as an adult member, leading the first of three troops.
As one of the nation's foremost authorities in the fields of leadership development, human resources, diversity and inclusion and organizational development, Moore attributes much of her success to three fundamentals taught by the Girl Scouts.
As a young Girl Scout, one was taught to leave the campsite better than you found it. For Moore, that now translates to leaving the community and the families she serves better off.
In learning many of the transferrable skills of selling cookies, she mastered the art of a cold call, selling 300 boxes in four to five square blocks. To this day, she can still make a cold call.
As a troop leader and a Girl Scout, the importance of leadership, relationships, accountability and humility were ingrained into the woman she is today.
"The Girl Scouts strive to teach girls how to live life to the fullest and positively impact the world," said Angela Woods, CEO of the Girl Scouts Hornets' Nest Council. "When we look to female leaders who are doing that, Debra is a perfect example of perseverance, hard work, kindness and respect. Her critical work in the community and passion for helping others made this honor an easy decision. We are privileged to recognize such a deserving woman."
Since the inaugural Women of Distinction event in 2006, the Girl Scouts Hornets' Nest Council has recognized nearly 60 exemplary women with a passion for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, environmental leadership, healthy living and community building.
The luncheon will take place Tuesday, Sept. 19 from noon to 1:30 p.m. ET at The Westin Charlotte. For more information, please visit www.hngirlscouts.org

Last year (2011) was the first year that annual box office in China crossed US$2.0 billion (RMB13 billion). 3D films had a 40% share of it (US$ 790m, RMB 5bn).
First half of 2012 growth rate was 42% compared to 2011, after an already astonishing 29% growth in 2011 over 2010. If the Chinese box office maintains its 42% growth rate through the whole year, 2012 box office could reach $2.9 billion and China would be the second largest film market after the US, although behind India in terms of number of productions.
Since the further opening of the 3D film market to foreign productions, foreign films increased their box office share from 49% in 2011 to 65% in H1, 2012.
Industry analysts attribute box office growth to the surge in cinema screens as well as the accompanying growth in audience numbers among China's youth. Additionally, a growing middle class, along with a hike in ticket prices, especially for 3D movies, has contributed. 3D movies, and especially the recently released "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", a 3D remake of 1967 Kungfu Classic, reaped $ 100m in box office revenue on an initial production investment of $35m ($3.5m for visual effects and $ 1.8m for post-production services), and created a new IMAX revenue record of 12 million US$ in 63 IMAX cinemas.
After Titanic 3D made it's total 2D to 3D conversion costs of US$ 18m back in the first weekend in China alone ($20m), Painted Skin 2 became the best selling ever domestic film, shot in 2D, converted to 3D and released to cinemas in 3D only. It reached a box office in excess of $100m since its release end of July.
Titanic 3D took more than $147m in box-office in China, while Transformers III took $170m and Mission: Impossible IV took over $ 100m.
3D screens have an annual growth rate of 212% on average (59% in 2008; 438% in 2009; 189% in 2010; 165% in 2011), reaching 8.000 plus 3D screens this year. From only 9 in 2007, IMAX screen are 92 and contracts have been signed for a total of 229.
But it's not only the cinema market which is going through the roof in terms of 3D and internationalization; all other markets report staggering figures as well.
China has now licensed 617 Internet audio and video service suppliers, 7 IPTV operators, 21 mobile TV operators and 15 radio and TV stations to launch Internet stations. 5 companies primarily running Internet audio and video businesses have listed on stock exchanges.
Chinese online video users have reached 350 million by the end of July, according to the 30th China Internet Development Statistics Report released on July 19. 25 million of these users were new in the first half year. Online video usage rate has risen to 65.1%. Mobile video users have also surpassed 100 million, accounting for 27.7% of all Chinese mobile Internet users.
3D has reached TV, online and mobile already and it's only a matter of time when the 40% box office share for 3D in cinemas will translate into a large share of 3D in all other film distribution channels as well.
The production infrastructure to satisfy the growing demand for content The newly privatized Chinese film and TV production business counts for 1,700 production companies, 200 post-production and visual effects companies, on top of the 700 broadcasters with over 3,000 channels most of which have their own production arm.
15,000 TV episodes were produced in 2011, close to 2,000 of those by CCTV, the central government channel.
Of these 558 theatrical film productions only a fraction made it to the cinemas, and they only count for 35% of total box office, whilst foreign films, which are limited to 34 per year and almost exclusively from the US, make 65% of box office currently. Only Painted Skin 2 made it into the top ten in H1 2012, all the other big hits were of US origin, and even titles which flopped in the US made it into the charts in China (John Carter #7 with box office of 42m and Wrath of the Titans as #10 with $25m).
A similar situation is seen in the online video world: US TV episodes are topping the charts and domestic productions are finding their home mainly in the government owned broadcast system.


EHRHARDT, S.C. ––Losing three video drones to gunfire, Showing Animals Respect & Kindness (SHARK) nonetheless believes it won what might be termed the Third Battle of Broxton's Bridge, South Carolina.
SHARK had apparently already delayed the start of a scheduled four-day, six-station pigeon shoot by two days when on February 10, 2018 several men believed to have been associated with the Broxton Bridge Plantation hunting ranch began firing on the drones with rifles.
SHARK takes multiple drones on each mission.
Putting up drones enough to maintain a continuous video record of the pigeon shoot, which SHARK believes was held in violation of South Carolina law, SHARK observed that the pigeon killing ended early on the fourth scheduled day, with just eight shooters left.
The first Battle of Broxton's Bridge will be re-enacted at the Broxton Bridge Plantation on March 2, 2018, billed as the 153rd anniversary of the Civil War clash, which actually occurred on February 1, 1865.
The Civil War battle, fought more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Proclamation of Emancipation, ended 130 years of slavery at the Broxton Bridge Plantation.
Trial testimony established that Motley and Blackledge promised Joe they would not let their dogs harm him if he came down, then set the dogs on him.
The plantation had on July 5, 1853 been scene of one of the most notorious lynchings of the pre-Civil War era, and one of the most notorious "canned hunts" ever.
A suspected runaway slave identified only as Joe, age 22, was captured, held for several days by planter Robert Grant, then turned over to Thomas Motley and William Blackledge, who brought their dogs from more than 100 miles away to hunt Joe for sport.
Motley and Blackledge allowed Joe to "escape" only to be pursued and repeatedly attacked by the dogs over the next day and a half.
Joe fighting the dogs who killed him.
The dogs were variously identified in an eyewitness account published 30 years later as "beagles" and "hounds," but were described by South Carolina Supreme Court Justice John Belton O'Neall in his sentencing decree as "equally fierce and ferocious as Spanish bloodhounds," ancestral to pit bulls.
Motley and Blackledge became two of just 11 white men known to have been executed for killing a black person in states that allowed slavery before the Civil War, and the only perpetrators known to have been executed for murder by dog.
A failed attempt was made, allegedly by the Motley family, to bribe the local sheriff with $50,000, equivalent in purchasing power to $1.5 million today. Rumors then circulated that an armed mob might free Motley and Blackledge.
South Carolina governor John Lawrence Manning responded by personally leading the 4th brigade of the state militia 40 miles to the scene to ensure that the hanging was conducted as ordered. Outraged slaveholders ensured that Manning lost his 1854 bid for re-election.
Publicity for the first Battle of Broxton's Bridge annual re-enactment contends that Confederate resistance at the bridge in 1865 significantly delayed the Union army in advancing from Savannah, Georgia to Columbia, South Carolina during the last months of the Civil War.
Union military history, however, records the battle as a transient skirmish, just another among hundreds that gradually brought slavery in the U.S. to a belated close. The fighting, such as it was, ended with fewer than 200 malarial Confederate troops abandoning 12 cannon and their outflanked fortifications.
Founded by ancestors of current owner G.D. "Jerry" Varn soon after they emigrated from Germany, nine generations ago, the 7,000-acre Broxton Bridge Plantation has for several decades now been chiefly engaged in recreational animal massacres.
The Broxton Bridge Plantation web site advertises opportunities to shoot deer, ducks, pigs, bobwhite quail, and pheasants, who are thrown from a 65-foot tower to be shot as they descend while attempting to fly. Those who reach the ground still alive are rousted by dogs and shot at again.
The Broxton Bridge Plantation also hosts pigeon shoots. Twice, in 2012 and in 2018, SHARK has found out about the pigeon shoots to attend, bringing crew from Illinois and New Jersey. The results each time have been similar.
SHARK founder Steve Hindi told ANIMALS 24-7 that the three drones hit by rifle fire at the Broxton Bridge Plantation on February 10, 2018, while legally flying over nearby public property, were among the least expensive of the SHARK squadron, costing about $1,000 each to replace.
Live pigeons SHARK has rescued from pigeon shoot "dead" piles.
SHARK and Last Chance for Animals posted the video at Birds Tortured, Drones Shot in South Carolina Pigeon Shoot – YouTube. While most of the children appeared to be in the range of 13-15 years old, some seemed to be younger, and one girl may have been under 10 years old.
SHARK recovers a damaged drone that was shot down on a previous occasion.
SHARK on February 12, 2012 reported routing fewer than two dozen pigeon shooters at what might be termed the second Battle of Broxton Bridge.
"Looking for Love in all the wrong places," SHARK founder Steve Hindi has for seven years challenged Field & Stream blogger Chad Love to debate the ethics of pigeon shoots.
On that occasion the shooters, while in retreat, allegedly gunned down a SHARK drone helicopter camera platform moments after takeoff.
The SHARK challenge attracted the notice of Field & Stream blogger Chad Love.
"Animal rights activists, a remote-controlled helicopter, and a bunch of guys with shotguns. Now that's a combination with some definite potential for the creation of a brand-new shooting sport," Love mused in a February 9, 2012 web posting, apparently encouraging the shots at the drone that followed.
Amid the publicity, the second Battle of Broxton Bridge attracted only about 20 pigeon shooters, about a fifth or even a sixth as many as the site preparations indicated had been expected.
For three days high winds kept the SHARK helicopter grounded.
On the fourth day, Hindi recounted, "As soon as we began to prepare to launch our aircraft, the pigeon shooters ran away," much as did the Confederates at the first Battle of Broxton Bridge.
"They got into their cars and left Broxton Bridge rather than be caught on video!" Hindi laughed. "First they tried to intimidate us by sending out the police and a lawyer. We ignored them, as what we were doing is perfectly legal. Once they knew nothing was going to stop us, the shooting stopped and the cars lined up to leave. We decided to send the copter up anyway, flying it on the far side of U.S. 601 from the Broxton Bridge Plantation.
"Seconds after it hit the air numerous shots rang out, from shooters apparently firing across the road," Hindi said.
Wing Pointe owner Joseph Solana attends a pigeon shoot.
Crashing on the road, the drone was quickly retrieved by SHARK volunteers, as were the three shot down on February 10, 2018.
SHARK in 2012 filed a complaint with the Colleton County Sheriff's Department, but the department took no action in response.
SHARK drones have often been shot at before, and sometimes before have been hit by gunfire, including on September 11, 2015 at a pigeon shoot hosted by U.S. Senator James Inhofe at Altus, Oklahoma.
The only damaged drone SHARK was unable to retrieve and either repair or use for replacement parts was hit near the Wing Pointe Gun Club in Hamburg, Pennsylvania on January 2, 2011. That drone remained caught high in a tall tree above the gun club for years. Whether it is still there is unknown.
Pigeons appear to have been excluded from the new Pennsylvania humane law.
Drone video by SHARK both during and after a November 9, 2017 pigeon shoot at the Wing Pointe gun club in Hamburg, showed adult "trapper boys" not only dumping wounded pigeons alive into a barrel, but also burying many still living pigeons with a tractor shovel.
The 2017 SHARK video from Wing Pointe, posted at Pigeons Brutalized, Buried Alive at Pennsylvania Pigeon … – YouTube, depicts these and other actions which clearly would have been illegal before the Pennsylvania anti-cruelty law was updated by HB 1238, dubbed "Libre's Law," in June 2017.
HB 1238, including an apparent blanket exemption for pigeon shoots, called "Shooting activities not otherwise prohibited under this subchapter," was strongly endorsed by both the Humane Society of the U.S. and Humane Pennsylvania, a federation representing local humane societies.
My dad always said, "The apple don't fall far from the tree." Looks like an appropriate caption here. Sharing to social media, with disgust, outrage and seemingly unending sadness.
Broxton Bridge personnel used walkie talkies to coordinate their criminal efforts. The suspects include Broxton Bridge Plantation owner Jerry Varn, and former Williston police officer Joey Patrsourakos. There was also an individual who monitored the drone activity from a pickup truck parked near the SHARK flight team. He told the others when and where the drone was in the air so they could shoot at it.
Mr. Varn's statement is absolutely false. SHARK monitored and recorded Broxton's radio traffic, and that audio record is now crucial, damning evidence for both local criminal investigators, and the Federal Aviation Administration.
In the audio, some of which is available on the newly released video, Jerry Varn asks to be told when the drones either take off or land. Shooters talk about getting into position, and the spotter repeatedly tells the others the status of the drone, and when it's in the air.
It should be noted that the drone shootings did not stop SHARK from accumulating extensive video documentation of extreme animal abuse, which was conducted by young teens and even pre-teen children, many of whom were female. SHARK will be contacting appropriate agencies and child abuse experts regarding the cruel and violent environment in which these children participated with the full knowledge and consent of adults.

DANNY: (Slowly.) I think I know your brother. Is he tall?
DANNY: With a Roman nose and black hair?

And they're both tall so I figured Paul would be tall.

Why VR Needs Serialized Content Right Now
After a series of conversations with indie VR shops in recent weeks, it seems safe to say that many of them are suffering from "feast or famine" syndrome when it comes to work. Often a brand or content owner will come to them with a great idea and a tight deadline, expect them to execute on a VR experience, pay them, and then disappear for months — if they ever come back at all.
It's not that the content these shops are producing is bad. In many cases, it's ground-breaking and high quality work. Rather, it's that no one has figured out how to move VR beyond one-off activations and into a world where content is rolled out in a regular, serialized fashion. With the launch of its "Netflix for VR" subscriptions, HTC has started to move in this direction. If you've forgetten by now, Netflix spent plenty of time giving people access to one-off experiences (DVDs) before making the leap to serialized, streaming content.
But even outlets like the New York Times, which consistently produces high-quality 360 content, doesn't seem to create anything that will keep a viewer coming back over an extended period of time. If someone is interested in 360 video on police raids, to use a recent example, they might not be interested in a piece on travel, or fashion. There's no real reason for that person to keep investigating, as the pieces are usually pretty brief and don't end with a cliffhanger.
Part of the reason people get addicted to podcasts like Serial or TV shows like The Americans is that every episode tees up the next one, often leaving the audience in suspense at the end. But in VR, almost every experience is self-contained. And the way the funding pipeline works, it can often take months (if not longer) for a second episode to be rolled out. By then, many viewers will have lost interest or forgotten the story altogether.
The other issue is that VR content often lacks compelling characters that users want to follow. I've seen a number of deeply moving and affecting VR pieces, such as Discovery VR's "Under the Net," that have left me wanting to know what happened to a subject, but I can never find the next step of their journey.
One thing that kept earlier consumers listening to radio programs and consuming television shows at the same time each week was that serialized character story arc. While those of us who consume a lot of today's TV might look back at early sitcoms and laugh at the hackneyed plot lines and situations, characters stayed the same over the course of the season and viewers invested in them.
VR could also allow viewer investment to reach much deeper levels, because the viewer could have some say in the direction of the narrative. There are plenty of people still angry about the end of Lost, for instance, but it's a lot harder to be mad about how something turns out when you have a hand in controlling the outcome. This would also lead to repeat viewing, as users would want to take different paths and see how the endings changed.
There are some plans for serialized VR content to debut this year, although none of those have been made public as of yet. When those details arrive, it will hopefully prove to be compelling and addictive programming that can drive more people into headsets. Podcasts had their breakthrough moment with Serial; now it's time to VR to come up with something that will draw people in over the course of a season and become water-cooler conversation. If VR simply remains a series of one-offs and experiments, it will have a hard time breaking through into the mainstream.

Women and War: Gender Identity and Activism in Times of Conflict
Joyce P. Kaufman and Kristen P. Williams
"Moves beyond the realist version of international politics and highlights key authors and texts throughout, while addressing the underexplored terrain of women and international politics, especially women and war. Highly Recommended."—Choice
"A fascinating and unique book sure to be of interest to students and scholars alike."—Laura Sjoberg, University of Florida
"Kaufman and Williams focus explicitly on women, while merging traditional and feminist IR scholarship. The result is a comprehensive study of women's options and agency in various stages of conflict, and a text that admirably serves classroom and research purposes."—V. Spike Peterson, University of Arizona
Joyce Kaufman and Kristen Williams draw on both traditional and feminist IR theory to explore the roles that women play leading up to, during, and after conflict situations, how they spur and respond to nationalist and social movements, and how conceptions of gender are deeply intertwined with ideas about citizenship and the state.
Joyce P. Kaufman is professor of political science and director of the Center for Engagement with Communities at Whittier College. Kristen P. Williams is professor of political science at Clark University. Their most recent collaboration (2013) is Women at War, Women Building Peace: Challenging Gender Norms.

Doctor Drauzio Varella, known for his volunteer work in prisons and author of severals books on the topic, the former Brazilian Minister of Justice José Gregori, and the judge Sueli Armani, responsible to the execution of sentences in the Taubaté jurisdiction in the state of Sao Paulo (Brazil) – location where famous Brazilian convicts are jailed – were the honor guests of the second Workshop "Sentence, Prison and Reinsertion of Ex-inmates," organized by the Humanitas360 Institute.
During the final portion of this 9-hour work day, the three guests participated in a fish bowl team activity in which they gave introductory talks about the topic and later debated with other participants. Before the fish bowl activity, other activities based on Otto Scharmer's Theory U were used in order to create an environment conducive to attentive listening in which the participants felt closer to each other, and inspired to develop practical solutions towards a unified strategy to combat the increase of corruption and violence in Latin America.
The first activity of the workshop was the Social Presencing Theater. Inspired in techniques of meditation, psychodrama and family constellations, this activity invites its participants to incorporate roles of social actors that are key to the topic that is being discussed. Through this method, conflicts and tensions that exist among those actors emerge, so that the participants collaboratively find solutions to the issues being dealt with.
The second group activity of the day was the World Café. The participant were divided into groups and had to change groups as the topic of discussion changed. This technique seeks to encourage greater interaction and exchange of ideas among the participants. As the groups talked about the issues and co-created a Theory of Change regarding the workshop's paradigm shift objective, they took notes and made drawings on large sheets of papers that were on the tables.
All of the work was recorded on video and counted on Mila Motomura from the Moom studio, who led the graphic facilitation during the workshop. The results of the texts, drawings and videos are being compiled by the H360 team and will be made available on this website soon.


The churning must be worth something, worth troubling the dust. Often, I wonder if we aren't all just dreaming together of intimacy. Like the false sense of desolation I might feel after rejection from something I was never into. Joy never made me question my motivations. If I were to be blind with nerves, I'd hope to flinch alongside, to gather what could be gathered. I rode out the storm with all my waves of hair, unbuttoned and perused. What sounds I make in my head can't be recreated on paper. Or so I believe. The visions I have, only I can see. Nor can I retain them; I am always forgetting and acquiring. No one else can possess: my memory of light hitting the river's surface, or the sound of the blinds rattling against the glass on summer nights. I imagined intruders entering through the third-floor window. But I misspeak. I want to erode until I am only a core, an unfathomable beginning. I say to myself: Pretend this never existed. Which may not be far from truth. What some might call indictment; enticement for all else. Whatever the delusion, it helped me get to today.
