The Transporter Refueled
February 10, 2016 By Dominic Barlow Home Video, Reviews
Never change the deal. Never give names. Never open the package. There's little in the way of unshakeable tenets to the Luc Besson-scripted Transporter series of action movies, but those were the three declared in its 2002 debut by Jason Statham, who blithely proceeded to break them and a few dozen heads as a festishistically bespoke sub-Bond named Frank Martin. Fast-forward through fourteen years, two sequels and a TV series, and Statham now has bigger franchise fish to fry, so it falls to Ed Skrien, previously seen in the likes of Ill Manors and Game of Thrones, to follow in his well-tailored footsteps. He's got no less charm or brawn than his Expendable predecessor, but his opportunities to demonstrate both have to be fit in piecemeal by director Camille Delamarre (Brick Mansions) amid a revenge story that feels like less a Refueling than a Reappropriation of tired cliches.
Before you ask: no, Statham does not appear even for a post-credits cameo, though with the French subtitle translating as "Legacy", no-one would blame you. It might have the over-saturated look of the recent Fast and Furiouses and practically the same score as Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but it commits to its reboot status with nary a hint of chronologies and callbacks. Some might cheer for the lack of corporate synergy as an antidote to more successful franchise films, particularly the latest 007 feature, but its dark side is the lack of basic fidelity to what has come before. Thanks to a cold open establishing a gang of snarling Russian mobster villains (headed by Rasha Bukvic) and dogged heroines (Loan Chabanol, Gabriella Wright, Tatiana Pajkovic, Wenxia Yu) sold into his prostitution ring, it's a full twenty minutes before our Transporter gets to do any kind of, you know, transporting. The sum total of driving stunts and novel action beats (a brawl between rows of filing cabinets, a baddie takedown involving a lifesaver) don't begin to make up for the inertness and familiarity of the main plot, where nu-Frank is strongarmed into aiding the women's great escape after they kidnap and poison his ex-military father (Ray Stevenson). Compare this to Statham's debut, which, while hardly a searing portrayal of human trafficking in its own right, wasted no time establishing the protagonist's special set of skills, and you're given all the more reason to check the clock. Nothing is inherently wrong with re-writing a script to suit an existing series, but if that holds true for Refueled – and given the patchwork feel of the story, it's quite likely – a lot more of it needed to happen.
Oddly, there are whispers in the women's story of a mainstream self-empowerment saga akin to the brides of Fury Road. Although they desert their male captor and alter their deal with Frank on the fly, their bond will supposedly never yield, and we're meant to glean this emotionally from the occasional verbal jabs they make at Frank as he laboriously tears up a John Wick-esque nightclub and the Nice streets in their service. Besson and company more often opt for increasingly liminal, baffling references to The Three Musketeers, from badly spoken references to a cutaway of Dumas' novel literally plonked on the floor of one of the copious grey warehouse environments they run through. Whatever meagre gains happen here are undone when Bukvic's character demands a line-up of the street workers, and unintentionally reveals how interchangeable the four of them actually are with any of those left behind, regardless of the striking blond Sia bobs they put on before a bank robbery. All for one, one for any.
It's doubly hard to pay credit for these vague feminist leanings when considering not just the way it throws black women under the bus by gunning them down in the intro (surprise, the studio that brought you Taken still has issues portraying race!), but the way it puffs up Stevenson's hyper-masculine role. Being a kidnapping victim doesn't stem his opportunities to be the randy go-getter, from patching a bullet wound to pulling off a sting aboard a private plane, and his reward is a threesome with two of the nigh-anonymous maidens. Other tediously shot scenes have him engage his son in repartee that feels better reserved for randy inner-city solicitors than his own kin, much less the fastidious Transporter we should reasonably expect. There are buried scraps of meta-commentary on action hero machismo, positing Frank Sr as a drum-beater for the good ole days and almost something of a Connery-Bond contrast to Skrien's sleek vengeance-seeker, but of course, Delamarre lets them aerate in dully staged car conversations in his rush to the perfunctory ending, and the gender politics a tired throwback.
This is purportedly the start in a new trilogy, and unless he tears the roof off as the villain in Deadpool this year, Skrien will probably be back for part two. It's tough to be excited about the possibilities, though. As an heir apparent to a Louis Leterrier spectacle, it hasn't an extremely high bar to reach, and yet it still turns the process into a boring bodge job. You could argue that Bond has had a rough time of it lately as well, but at least he works as advertised.

How Do I Find Work If I Don't Live in the US?
Although the United States may seem to offer more opportunities for freelancers, there are still several ways to find remote work without actually living in the States.
Websites such as Upwork, Freelancer.com, and Fiverr offer jobs for freelancers in all countries and time zones. Depending on which country you're currently based in, there's most likely freelance work available once you start putting yourself out there.
Often the job post will say what time zone is required, but it doesn't always say what country the freelancer must live in. If you are willing to accommodate different time zones, you can still apply for these positions.
Many companies in the United States will look for freelancers who can work from anywhere, so working for an American company while living overseas is still an option for many. These jobs are definitely out there, just read the posts carefully and be prepared to work unusual hours if the job requires.
Nobody said freelancing was easy! But it's definitely worth it.
Being a local freelancer is also an option. Don't rule out finding work in your local town or country.
Working locally can also have many advantages since you can communicate face to face, set up phone calls and meetings in the same time zone, and be more available for your clients.
Sending out emails to potential clients and explaining who you are and what you do can lead to great opportunities or referrals.
Don't be afraid to put yourself out there and offer your services to local companies. Clients will actually be eager to work with a freelancer who is familiar with their culture and willing to put in the face time or the occasional meeting.
When applying for jobs in different parts of the world, the trick is to make it as easy as possible for the client to say "yes".
Make sure they know that having you in a different country or time zone will not affect your work flow. Give examples of how you've made it work for other clients in the past.
Think of some possible advantages to hiring from a different country. For example, perhaps you charge lower hourly rate than US freelancers, allowing clients to get more work for the same price.
Or maybe you can take care of their customer support emails while they sleep, and they can wake up to an empty inbox and happy customers!
With today's technology, communication between people in other countries has never been easier, and once they see the value in what you provide, where you live no longer becomes an issue.
With a little creative thinking, you can find a way to flip this "disadvantage" into an advantage for you and your clients.
Harmony: I'm from the Unites States but currently base myself in Australia. When I work with companies overseas, I just make sure the different time zones have as little effect on our work as possible. I am still able to deliver work on time and communicate with the team, and clients love having someone who can work independently without having to be micromanaged. I live in a small town and found that reaching out to local companies and pitching myself has been a good way to get my name out there. I recommend joining a local co-working space that puts on events. It's a great way to network with other freelancers and often they will have advice about who's hiring in the community!
Claire: When I was just starting out as a freelancer, time zone difference was one of the biggest hurdles to landing a new job. I didn't always get a "yes", but here are a few things that helped me get my foot in the door.
1) Asking for a chance and doing a trial project for free. I would say "If it doesn't work out, no problem. But give me a chance to prove that I can make it work."
2) Staying ahead of deadlines. If you always deliver on schedule and build a reputation for excellence, employers will make an exception for an exceptional freelancer.
3) Being online to communicate at least once a day in THEIR time zone. So even if this meant staying up to 3am (which I had to do sometimes in the beginning) I made sure that I was there to answer emails in the morning, and then again in the afternoon before the end of their workday. By doing this, I showed employers that I understood their need for prompt communication and I put their needs first.
Joel Garman, Videographer, @VideoshiftMedia: I put on workshops locally that teach people how to use video for their businesses. Being from New Zealand, I found that it was a really good way to get people interested in what I was doing in Australia. It was something I never saw myself doing at first, but it really got me out of my comfort zone and I ended up meeting heaps of business owners in town all looking to get into video. You build a network of people and once you do good work for a few, you start to get referrals and get your name out there.
Think you have what it takes to work online?

.. _correlator-mode:

Image correlator
----------------

The ``parallel_stereo`` program (:numref:`parallel_stereo`) can
function purely as an image correlator, that is, it can find the
disparity between two given images without assuming any cameras are
present and without generating a point cloud.

This mode assumes that the images are already roughly aligned, up to a
translation. Hence, the images can be either raw but with no large
rotation/shear/scale differences, or mapprojected, or to be portions
of aligned images ``L.tif`` and ``R.tif`` (:numref:`outputfiles`) as
created by ASP itself.

See also ``corr_eval`` (:numref:`corr_eval`) a program for estimating
the quality of the disparity at each pixel.

Usage::

    parallel_stereo --correlator-mode <left image> <right image> \
      <output prefix>

Example::

    parallel_stereo --correlator-mode run/run-L.tif run/run-R.tif \
      run_corr/run

This will create the filtered subpixel disparity
``run_corr/run-F.tif`` (:numref:`outputfiles`).

All the usual options of ``parallel_stereo`` apply. See
:numref:`nextsteps` for a discussion regarding various quality vs
speed tradeoffs. Since the images are assumed to be aligned, the
program will set the alignment method to ``none``.

If desired to not use an initial low-resolution correlation, set
``--corr-seed-mode 0``. To skip preprocessing (if invoked previously),
or to avoid subpixel refinement or filtering, use the options
``--entry-point`` and ``--stop-point``.

On July 21, we all take a moment to step back from the healthy foods we have been celebrating on other days this month, such as, um, fried chicken, chocolate, French fries, mac & cheese, and ice cream. Uh.
On July 21, we have yet another excuse to keep eating stuff with too much fat, sugar, and carbs, and not enough actual nutrition, because somebody said it should be National Junk Food Day, and who are we to argue with Someone? Look, our hands are tied. It's a national day. And besides, we did eat fresh spinach that one day, so we really deserve a little reward, right?
I probably will not eat any junk food today, but don't let that stop you. Do what you feel is right.

Q: Another way to exiting IEX other than ctrl-C I know we can exit the IEX console with control-C.  I'm curious if there's a command to type into the console that would also do the same thing.

A: Looks like
 System.halt

also works.

A: input in shell
 :c.q()
and be happy

A: I can think of 3 ways to quit an IEx shell:

*

*The mentioned <ctrl-c> hit twice or once followed by q and then <enter>,

*<ctrl-g> and then q + <enter>,

*and finally System.halt,

but there is a difference between System.halt and the others.
Namely that System.halt "halts the Erlang runtime" and the others just "quit the shell".
When you have only one shell session running or the session is not attached to a separate runtime then both ways will produce the same result.
But if you have a session connected to a separate runtime e.g. via iex --remsh (remote shell) then running System.halt in it will halt the runtime and so make both shell processes / runtimes terminate. Just quitting a shell (via method 1. or 2.) will not stop the runtime it is connected to.
Conclusion: if you connect with your shell to other runtimes then know that System.halt will halt the runtime you have connected to. If you do not want to do it use <ctrl-c>.
UPDATE: Recently I have also found out about <ctrl-\>. You can read more about it in this article:

What I didn't know is that you can exit the shell by sending Ctrl-.
  The shell will exit immediately. As far as I know, it has the same
  effect as aborting the shell in the Break command, it doesn't affect
  remote nodes and it also works outside of iex (for example, you can
  use to terminate your tests).

A: *

*Disconnect from shell and stop current node. This is what you need in most cases.
1.1. Ctrl+\ - standard method to quit the Erlang shell. See "4.4  How do I quit the Erlang shell?" in Erlang -- Getting Started.
1.2. Ctrl+C, a, Enter - via  the (a)bort command of the Break menu.
1.3. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+C - looks like undocumented feature of the Break menu.
1.4. Ctrl+G, q, Enter - via the q (quit erlang) commant of the User Switch menu (see Erlang -- shell -- JCL Mode).
Note: this leaves remote node alive if you have connected to it with iex --remsh (see iex --help and IEx -- Remote Shells).

*Shut down the node you are connected to.
2.1. System.halt - quick and dirty shut down. The runtime system exits with status code 0 (clean exit without errors). You can also call System.halt(:abort) to abort with core dump. Same as :erlang.halt.
2.2. :init.stop (System.stop in future versions) - clean shutdown. All applications are taken down smoothly, all code is unloaded, and all ports are closed before the system terminates by calling halt(Status).
Note: this leaves your shell alive if you have connected to a remote shell with iex --remsh.
Notice that all these options are disabled if Erlang is started with the ignore break, +Bi, system flag: iex --erl +Bi (which can be useful, for example when running a restricted shell). See Erlang -- erl for more info.

A: I always thought ctrl-G
followed by q
for quit
was the official way to exit the iex shell.
See the IEx docs' section on the BREAK menu, which also shows how you can switch between alternate shells etc.

Djordje Mihailovic on how a phone call from Thierry Henry convinced him to join the Montreal Impact
By Pardeep Cattry @pcattry
For Djordje Mihailovic, a move away from his boyhood club Chicago Fire was something he was considering for several reasons. As a result, when Montreal Impact head coach Thierry Henry gave him a call earlier this month, he had to take it. Very simply, Mihailovic said during a virtual press conference Monday, "when someone like that calls my phone, it's a big deal to me."
Though Mihailovic, like many, remains impressed with Henry's record as one of the best players of his generation, that was not what convinced him to join the Impact. Over the course of a call that took place while Mihailovic was with the US men's national team in Florida this month, Henry told the player that the team would provide him with exactly what he was looking for: a chance to improve as a player, something he feels Henry is uniquely qualified to help him with.
"It's also that mentality that I need to learn and I want to learn and I will learn," Mihailovic said. "He knows what it's like to be the best, to win all the trophies possible, and that's what I see in my career. I want to win trophies, I want to become the best player possible."
Mihailovic said his decision to leave the Fire in a big-money trade with the Impact last week was one that he put a lot into, but was one solely focused on that search to improve himself. He also believes that "every player comes to a moment where maybe a change is the best thing for them." Henry's call, then, could not come at a better time, but it was the belief Henry placed in him that really sealed the deal for Mihailovic.
"I could sense that desire to have me in the club, the belief that he and his staff [have] in me," Mihailovic said. "When I spoke with Thierry and I heard his words personally, it really solidified my choice to play in Montreal."

New robotic study finds dense ice under Antarctic
First survey to drill into underwater ice as deep as 20 metre
By Moushumi Sharma
Sea ice underneath the Antarctic is thicker than previously thought. This was discovered by a first-of-its-kind robotic survey during two expeditions to the continent by scientists from the US, the United Kingdom and Australia. The expeditions took place in 2010 and 2012.
The robot, named SeaBed, mapped an area of ice spanning 500,000 square metre (m) at an underwater depth of 20 to 30 m. The average ice thickness was found to be between 1.4 m and 5.5 m, with a maximum thickness of 16 m, reports The Guardian. Earlier measurements of Antarctic ice thickness were hindered by technological constraints. No ice-breaking ship had drilled more than 5.5m down into the ice to extract a core for analysis, the report states.
The new study has been published in the journal Nature Geoscience. The research team involved has hailed it as a major breakthrough as they believe the findings will provide a starting point to study how ice thickness, and its extent, is changing.
A game changer
Guy Williams, one of the researchers, told The Guardian that the finding is an important step in gauging changes to Antarctic ice. "Sea ice is an important indicator of the polar climate but measuring its thickness has been tricky. This is a game changer because it was previously very challenging to measure ice depth. We were limited to visual observation from the decks of ships or ice cores. It was a lot of hard work and quite crude, which means we were biased towards thinner ice. It was a bit like a doctor diagnosing a condition by prodding the skin," he said.
Jeremy Wilkinson from the British Antarctic Survey agrees. "A lot of effort has gone into measuring Arctic sea ice, and we are now just scratching the surface of Antarctic sea ice, especially in respect to thickness. We want to understand how it is changing and how that integrates with climate and ecosystem changes," he told BBC, adding that only by bringing all the processes together would the researchers be able to understand what is going on in the Antarctic.
Hanumant Singh, working with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, which developed the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), explained the challenges of the mission to The Guardian. "Putting an AUV together to map the underside of sea ice is challenging from a software, navigation and acoustic communications standpoint. SeaBed's manoeuvrability and stability made it ideal for this application where we were doing detailed floe-scale mapping and deploying, as well as recovering in close-packed ice condition," he said.

Анто́н Серге́евич Лиссов (урожд. — Буре́нин; ) — российский музыкант, фронтмен и вокалист группы Jane Air, бывший бэк-вокалист группы Little Big.

Биография
Антон Буренин родился 17 августа 1979 года в Ленинграде, в семье потомственных петербуржцев: отец — Сергей Владимирович Буренин, работал в НИИ, мать — Марина Сергеевна, преподавателем. В 1996 году окончил гимназию 168 на Невском проспекте. В школе по настоянию матери увлекся музыкой и играл на гитаре. После окончания школы сразу пошел работать: трудился курьером, пекарем, охранником, торговал на рынке, дизайнером — разрисовывал потолки в сауне.

В 1998 году вместе с Сергеем Макаровым (Gokk) собрали группу Jane Air, в которую, впоследствии пришли Сергей Григорьев в 2000, и Антон Сагачко в 2002. В эти годы Антон в качестве сценического псевдонима взял фамилию бабушки — Лиссов, которая впоследствии стала официальной.

Музыкальная карьера

В Jane Air Лиссов был вокалистом и автором текстов песен. В 2001 году группа дала первый концерт в культовом клубе «Молоко». В первом гастрольном туре группы в 2005 году Лиссов взял на себя обязанности продюсера группы.

Лиссов стал носителем эмо-культуры в группе и пропагандистом среди фанатов. В этом стиле были выдержаны альбомы «Pere-Lachaise: Любовь и немного смерти» и Sex and Violence. До 2007 года были сняты несколько ярких клипов, автором сценариев и продюсером которых также выступил Лиссов.

В 2008 году на гастролях в Прибалтике во время выступления Лиссову стало плохо и его госпитализировали с обострением аппендицита. В музыку вернулся в 2010 году.

В 2014 году по совету Сергея Макарова присоединился к музыкальному проекту Little Big.

Выступает в двух музыкальных коллективах. В Little Big Лиссов бэк-вокалист, один из авторов текстов и музыки, а также принимает участие в разработке сценариев для клипов. В Jane Air единственный вокалист, автор песен и музыки и основной продюсер.

В 2019 году исполнил одну из главных ролей в фильме «Порт».

В составе Little Big должен был отправиться на конкурс Евровидение в 2020 году с композицией «Uno», однако конкурс был отменён из-за пандемии COVID-19.

Сергей Макаров и Антон Лиссов гастролировали в составе панк-поп-рэйв группы Little Big начиная с 2013 и 2014 годов соотвественно. Однако в 2022 году основная часть Little Big (Илья Прусикин, Софья Таюрская, режиссёр Алина Пязок) переехала в Лос-Анджелес, США и высказалась против вторжения России на Украину. По семейным обстоятельствам Лиссов и Макаров остались в России и вернулись к своему изначальному музыкальному проекту Jane Air. Позднее, в ноябре 2022 года, Илья Прусикин окончательно подтвердил в интервью Deutsche Welle исключение из Little Big Антона Лиссова и Сергея Макарова. По словам лидера Little Big, сейчас из старого состава группы в осеннем туре 2022 года участвуют два человека: сам Прусикин и Софья Таюрская. 16 сентября 2022 группа Jane Air выпустила пластинку под названием «Миелофон».

In this guide, I review the best video editing software on the market right. I made a list of the top 10 so you don't have to waste your time searching the web.
Video is no longer just for producers and professionals. It's become a part of our everyday lives, as well as the stuff we all make with our phones and cameras all the time.
However, video editing requires a new set of abilities than conventional photography, but it is a vital component of the process.
Videos are quickly becoming the most popular form of entertainment as well as a channel for delivering material to people.
The reason for this is that most people appreciate visual graphics since they can quickly browse through the video and acquire the information. Furthermore, it is simple for the producers to communicate their message in front of the audience.
However, due to increased competition, the majority of individuals are shifting to video production. If someone wants to provide something distinctive and eye-catching, they will need pro-level video editing tools and skills to aid them along the way.
An engaging video may significantly boost your brand's growth in a world driven by visual content, but outstanding video footage can only be created with the assistance of editing software.
Which Software Should I use?
Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Corel Videostudio Pro
Movavi Video Editor
ClipChamp
Wondershare Filmora
The greatest video editing software must provide you with all of the tools you'll need to create fantastic content in order to amaze your audience.
However, since not all video editing software is designed for the same audience, you'll need to analyze your requirements carefully.
Also, the software does not have to be extremely expensive. You will see that it is simple to get affordable software that can have complex packages and allow even inexperienced video editors to add special effects, apply amazing filters, and clip together complex scenes.
These video editors are also more powerful, easier to use, and widely available than imagined possible only a few years ago.
I've selected the ten best video editing software available today for all segments, and provided you with the necessary information to assist in choosing the best solution for your business.
Many of the top video editing software applications on the list cost less than $100, and some are designed for beginners, while others are better suited for expert users.
Let's get started! Here's my list for the 10 Best Video Editing Software:

You'll also come across automated tools that make use of Adobe Sensei technology to assist in speeding up the editing process.
In recent years, the addition of Lumetri Color and more intuitive interaction has made rapid grading and slicing up of video a more straightforward operation.
It's also packed with valuable tools with several third-party alternatives that can enhance some pre-installed effects and transitions, and you can save a lot of time working with reference audio by having Premiere Pro automatically align two audio tracks.
Aside from video editing software, there are also audio editing sections. The sound panel features reverb, compression, amplification, stereo balance, and other effects and functions.
Premiere Pro is a great choice if you want an affordable and beginner-friendly platform that includes advanced editing tools.

A Mile at a Time
The conversations that I have with my children every morning while I drive them to school.
I was attending the DLD conference during the past few days, so C had to take the kids to school. I am back at my job now! I was telling the kids a bit about my favorite presentation during the conference, by Bertrand Piccard, founder of Solar Impulse. You can see it here: http://video.dld-conference.com/watch/lz4OxN2. And learn more about Solar Impulse here http://www.solarimpulse.com. Pretty inspiring stuff.
Monty Python in SF
It was only A & N in the car today as P spent the night throwing up :-(. Not having gotten much sleep myself I turned the radio on and found a talk show that was interviewing Terry Jones from Monty Python. Switched to music but A & N asked me to switch back, so we heard Terry for a while. The kids are huge Monty Python fans - they know the dialogues from the Search for the Holy Grail by heart. We had a good laugh hearing his stories & his fabulous British accent & humor. Turns out he is in SF for a special Monty Python festival that starts in the Castro tonight. Did you know that while Search for the Holy Grail is their most famous movie in the US, in the UK Life of Brian is much more famous? I didn't...
This morning we spoke about the earthquake in Haiti. We've been to the Dominican Republic so I think the boys can at least relate to where Haiti is located. I mentioned that disasters such as this one can help us keep things in perspective. How can we be too upset about the typical things that go wrong with our daily lives when we think about the poor people of Haiti? We need to remember how fortunate we are! And we need to help. Their school is very international and very socially responsible, so I am sure they are already working on something...
Ultimatums, blackmail & negotiations
I was telling the kids about the book Ultimatum that I am reading. They wanted to know what the word meant. When I explained it N asked whether that wasn't the same as blackmail. I explained the difference... We then got into a conversation about negotiations and the importance of not negotiating with yourself. If you are negotiating and the other side doesn't respond, do not improve your offer. Wait for the other side to respond with something. Otherwise, you are negotiating against yourself...
I told the kids that this afternoon I am going to Stanford to mentor a team in an entrepreneurship class. They wanted to know what kind of help I gave them. I explained that they had to write a business plan and that I helped them make sure it covered all the key aspects it had to. Also, I give the students feedback on the actual content of the plan... The kids were quite interested. N said that if he had to write a business plan it would be for a touch computer, "like an iphone, but a computer", A said he would do a game development company.
Butterfly Effects
I read a story this morning about the secondary benefits of exercise. Nothing too surprising, but I guess not entirely obvious either: less colds, less diabetes, less cancer... I told the kids about this and about second & third degree consequences. How most systems are very complex and unpredictable. We had a laugh imagining how a butterfly could create a tsunami (blow air that moves a small leave, that moves a bigger leave, that changes the flight pattern of a small bird...).
I gave them the scenario of the forest with sheep and wolves that lived in harmony until hunters killed all the wolves. Asked them what would happen and they immediately guessed "ecological disaster... the sheep starve". Gave them a few more examples: raise the minimum wage (had to explain what "minimum wage" was). A correctly guessed some employees might get laid off. I added that some businesses might shut down altogether...
How did we get from the health benefits of exercise to unemployment??? Oh, well...
What you do vs. Whom you do it with
I asked the kids what they thought was most important about a job. N quickly suggested having fund and making friends. I mentioned the stereotyped description that Americans decide WHAT do do, then find people to do it with, while Europeans decide WHOM to work with, then look for what to do with them. The boys thought the "American" approach was better. They said one could make new friends at work and continue to have fun with existing friends outside of work. I mentioned that while that was indeed ideal, time constraints sometimes mean one mostly spent time with those at work. I also mentioned how important it was to pay attention to whom one worked with. I mentioned that one criteria that I used before deciding whether I want to work with someone is whether I would like to have that person over for dinner at my place.

Arizona immigration bill: just the latest among state measures
The Arizona immigration bill, which the president called 'irresponsible' and 'misguided' on Friday, is one of many state initiatives introduced in the absence of strong national immigration reform.
By Daniel B. Wood Staff writer
April 23, 2010 | Los Angeles
Whether or not they agree with President Obama's comments Friday the controversial Arizona immigration bill is "irresponsible" and "misguided," activists on both sides of the issue say that continued federal inaction may produce pressure for more state and local action.
Mr. Obama, speaking at a White House Rose Garden naturalization ceremony for 24 foreign-born members of the US military, said that continued inaction on federal immigration reform would "open the door to irresponsibility by others." The Arizona bill to which he referred would require police to check the residence status of those they suspect of being in the country illegally, something Obama said "threatened to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans."
In signing the bill Friday afternoon, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) called it "another tool for our state to use as we work to solve a crisis that we did not create, and which the federal government has refused to address," adding that the people of her state had been "more than patient in waiting for the federal government to act" on immigration reform.
Legislative activity at the state and local level has soared in recent years, according to Niels Frenzen, director of the Immigration Clinic of the Gould School of Law at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He points out that in 2007, 1,562 immigration-related bills were introduced by state policymakers across the United States, about three times the number introduced in 2006. Of the bills introduced in 2007, 240 were enacted. In the first half of 2008 alone, 1,267 bills were introduced and at least 175 signed into law.
The high number of immigration initiatives may have come about after some states made moves, says Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). He says that in 2004, a host of states – including Oklahoma and Georgia – followed Arizona's passage of Proposition 200 with strong crackdowns of their own. Prop. 200 eliminated all non-essential public benefits to undocumented immigrants.
Action on immigration has filtered down to the city level, as well. Angelica Salas, executive director of Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, notes that in the wake of federal inaction, cities such as Santa Clarita have invoked the 287(g) agreements of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) of 1995. This authorizes local law enforcement to enter into agreements with the federal government to enforce US immigration laws.
Yet Obama's plea for Congress to act doesn't make sense, says Mr. Mehlman, because he already has the power to enforce existing laws.
"Obama made it look like his hands are tied, like he has to wait for Congress to pass a bill to do anything, but that isn't true," he says. "Nothing is precluding him from enforcing laws that already exist."
He adds, "Other states are looking at Arizona and saying, 'They've done it. Why can't we?' "

File cloning tools that enable sharding of user storage and/or circumvention of Drive storage limits.
Request the minimum relevant permissions
You may only request access to permissions that are critical to implementing your application or service's functionality. This means:
Don't request access to information that you don't need. Only request access to the permissions necessary to implement your application's features or services. If your application does not require access to specific permissions, then you must not request access to these permissions. Don't attempt to "future proof" your access to user data by requesting access to information that might benefit services or features that have not yet been implemented.
Request permissions in context where possible. Only request access to user data in context (via incremental auth) whenever you can, so that users understand why you need the data.
Be transparent about the data you access with clear and prominent privacy disclosures
You need to have a privacy policy that discloses how your application or web service collects, uses, and shares user data. This includes the types of parties to which any user data is shared, how you use the data, how you store and secure the data, and what happens to the data when an account is deactivated and/or deleted.
Applications and services must also request access to user data in context (via incremental auth when possible), so that users better understand what data will be provided, why you need the data, and how the data will be used. In addition to the requirements under applicable law, you must also adhere to the following requirements, which reflect our OAuth 2.0 and Google API Services User Data policies:
You must provide a disclosure of your data access, collection, use, and sharing. The disclosure:
Must accurately represent the identity of the application or service that seeks access to user data;
Must be within the application itself if application-based or in a separate dialog window if web-based;
Must be displayed in the normal usage of the application if application-based or website if web-based and not require the user to navigate into a menu or settings;
Must provide clear and accurate information explaining the types of data being accessed, requested, and/or collected;
Must explain how the data will be used and/or shared: if you request data for one reason, but the data will also be utilized for a secondary purpose, you must notify users of both use cases;
Cannot be placed only in a privacy policy or terms of service; and,
Cannot be included with other disclosures unrelated to personal and sensitive data collection.
Your disclosure must accompany and immediately precede a request for user consent. You must not begin collection prior to obtaining affirmative consent. The request for consent:
Must present the consent dialog in a clear and unambiguous way;
Must require affirmative user action (for example, tap to accept, tick a check-box, a verbal command, etc.) in order to accept;
Must not interpret navigation away from the disclosure (including tapping away or pressing the back or home button) as consent; and,
Must not utilize auto-dismissing or expiring messages.
You must provide user help documentation that explains how users can manage and delete their data from your app or service.
Limited use of user data
Upon accessing Google Drive APIs for an appropriate use, your use of the data obtained must comply with the below requirements. These requirements apply to data derived from both Sensitive and Restricted scopes.
Limit your use of data to providing or improving your appropriate use case or features that are visible and prominent in the requesting application's user interface.
Transfers of data are not allowed, except:
To provide or improve your appropriate use case or user-facing features that are visible and prominent in the requesting application's user interface and only with the user's consent;
For security purposes (for example, investigating abuse);
To comply with applicable laws; or,
As part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets of the developer after obtaining explicit prior consent from the user.
Do not allow humans to read user data, unless:
You have obtained and documented the user's explicit consent to read specific data (for example, helping a user re-access the product or a service after having lost their password);
The data (including derivations) is aggregated and anonymized and used for internal operations in accordance with applicable privacy and other jurisdictional legal requirements;
It's necessary for security purposes (for example, investigating abuse); or,
To comply with applicable laws.
All other transfers, uses, or sale of user data is completely prohibited, including:
Transferring or selling user data to third parties like advertising platforms, data brokers, or any information resellers.
Transferring, selling, or using user data for serving ads, including retargeting, personalized or interest-based advertising.
Transferring, selling, or using user data to determine credit-worthiness or for lending purposes.
An affirmative statement that your use of the data complies with the Limited Use restrictions must be disclosed in your application or on a website belonging to your web-service or application; for example, a link on a homepage to a dedicated page or privacy policy noting: "The use of information received from Google Drive APIs will adhere to the Google User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements."
Maintain a secure operating environment
We expect all user data is secure in transit and at rest. Take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect all applications or systems that make use of the Google Drive API and any data derived from it against unauthorized or unlawful access, use, destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure.
Applications accessing permissions must demonstrate that they adhere to certain security practices.
Recommended security practices include implementing and maintaining an Information Security Management System such as outlined in ISO/IEC 27001 and ensuring your application or web service is robust and free from common security issues as set out by the OWASP Top 10.
Required security measures include:

Latest Jobs Vacancies in Gulf Air -July 2019
Inlet Air, the national transporter of the Kingdom of Bahrain, started operations in 1950, getting to be noticeably one of the principal business carriers built up in the Middle East. Today, Gulf Air is a noteworthy universal bearer serving 41 urban areas in 24 nations traversing three mainlands. The carrier works one of the biggest systems in the Middle East, with twofold day by day flights or more to 10 provincial urban communities, notwithstanding select goals in the Indian Subcontinent and Europe, from its center point at Bahrain International Airport.
Inlet Air serves every one of its goals with a blend wide and limit body armada totalling 28 present day flying machine. Eminent for its conventional Arabian cordiality, prove by the aircraft's mark family and business neighborly items, Gulf Air is focused on being an industry pioneer and creating items and administrations that mirror the developing needs and yearnings of its travelers.
Bay Air associates Bahrain to the world and, in that capacity, is a key national foundation resource, filling in as an intense driver for the economy and supporting the Kingdom's on-going monetary development. Bay Air has been the Title Sponsor of the FORMULA 1 GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX as far back as it impacted the world forever as the main Formula 1 Grand Prix to be held in the Middle East in 2004. Moreover, the aircraft has been Official Carrier of the biennial Bahrain International Airshow since it was first held in 2010.
The 1980s saw an expansion in air travel and development for Gulf Air. In 1981, Gulf Air turned into an IATA part, and in the next year turned into the main universal aircraft to arrive at Riyadh. In 1985, Emirates, the startup national transporter of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, started working, and would later turn into a noteworthy opponent of Gulf Air. In 1988, Boeing 767s joined the armada, and the carrier propelled administration to Frankfurt, Istanbul, Damascus, Dar es Salaam, Fujairah and Nairobi, and continued administration to Shiraz and Baghdad.Inlet Air commended its 40th commemoration in 1990. The light-blue and peach Balenciaga-outlined uniform was presented. Administrations to Singapore, Sydney and Thiruvananthapuram were propelled, Gulf Air in this way turning into the principal Arab aircraft to travel to Australia. Bay Air added administrations to Johannesburg and Melbourne in 1992, turning into the principal Arab aircraft to fly specifically to these urban areas. In 1993, it opened a pilot test program focus in Qatar, and acquainted administration with Casablanca, Entebbe, Jakarta, Kilimanjaro, Madras, Rome, San'a', Zanzibar and Zürich.

Recording and reading of three-dimensional optical memory in glasses
S. Juodkazis, A. V. Rode, E. G. Gamaly, S. Matsuo, H. Misawa
We report on three-dimensional (3D) optical memory recording and reading in glass by femtosecond pulses. Optically induced dielectric breakdown of glass is a mechanism of recording. The formulae of dielectric breakdown presented are applicable, in principle, for any crystalline or amorphous dielectric material. Scaling dependences of the probabilities of multi-photon and impact ionization are given. The measured threshold of an in-bulk dielectric breakdown of silica was reproduced numerically by implementing the ionization potential of Si (8.15 eV) for calculations. Exact measures of focal spot size and pulse duration at the focus allowed us to evaluate the intensity of a pulse during recording of 3D optical memory bits with high accuracy. The readout of the 3D optical memory was carried out by the white-light continuum generated from the previously damaged sites (recorded memory bits). The mechanism of the readout was a four-photon parametric interaction.

Why Facebook's video theft problem can't last
Angst over a platform in progress
By Ariha Setalvad
Via Medium
Aug 7, 2015, 7:05 PM UTC |
Earlier this year, Facebook's increased focus on video — which began with it introducing autoplay video in 2013 — began to show real results. In April, the company reported that it received more than 4 billion video views every day. If you make videos or want to sell advertising against them, this is great news: a giant platform with unparalleled reach is finally paying attention to you.
But then popular YouTuber Hank Green leveled a number of allegations at Facebook's video team, including a charge of rampant copyright infringement from Facebook users who are uploading videos from YouTube and other platforms without creators' consent. Facebook has responded that it has measures in place to address copyright infringement, including allowing users to report stolen content and suspending accounts guilty of repeated violations.
Facebook's weak denials could lead to expensive lawsuits
But that has done little to satisfy content creators, whose support Facebook needs as it works to challenge YouTube's dominance. Green and other video makers are increasingly disgruntled, and Facebook's weak denials could lead to expensive lawsuits. Meanwhile, the failure to protect against copyright infringement could ward off the advertisers whose ads will eventually come to Facebook video. If Facebook doesn't act quickly, it risks alienating the two groups it needs most to establish itself as a next-generation video platform.
Until recently, online video has belonged almost entirely to YouTube. More than 300 hours of video are uploaded to Google's video platform every minute, generating billions of views daily. Those views have created a generation of YouTube stars and produced billions of dollars in advertising revenue, if not profits. For Facebook, video represents an irresistible new business opportunity. Early experiments with running natively inside the News Feed showed that it kept users on the site longer — and kept them from clicking external links that took them to YouTube and elsewhere.
But that's also where the trouble starts. As Green noted in a Medium post, Facebook promotes native video over external links by allowing it to play natively in the feed and run full screen. It's little wonder that natively uploaded video generates more views, according to A/B tests conducted by Duke University. Opportunists have taken note of this, leading to the widespread practice of "freebooting" — uploading other people's videos to Facebook without their permission and reaping all of the views.
Facebook is misleading potential advertisers
Green also says Facebook is misleading potential advertisers and other users by claiming its videos receive more views than they actually do. "Facebook counts the 'view' at the 3-second mark (whether or not the viewer has even turned on the sound) … At that moment, 90 percent of people scrolling the page are still 'watching' … But by 30 seconds, when viewership actually could be claimed, only 20 percent are watching," he writes. Green shone a light on these issues via a widely shared post on Medium, for which he received support from a number of fellow content creators like the Fine Brothers and Smarter Every Day's Destin Sandlin.
Matt Pakes, a product manager at Facebook responsible for video products, responded to Green on Medium. "If you have stayed on a video for at least three seconds, it signals to us that you are not simply scrolling through feed and you've shown intent to watch that video," Pakes wrote. He went on to paste the company's boilerplate response to the situation, which is the same response The Verge received when we asked Facebook for comment.
Green was unsatisfied with the official response: "If you took this seriously, you would not be bragging about growth based largely on theft, you would be being up front with press and investors that you have a really tough nut to crack here," Green wrote. He told The Verge in an email that he isn't siding with YouTube in its battle against Facebook — he only wants Facebook to take copyright more seriously. "The only reason I'm freaking out about this stuff is that Facebook is prioritizing growth (and the perception of growth) over acting decently," he wrote.
Facebook hasn't made it easy for creators like Green to find instances of copyright infringement — there's no way to filter Facebook searches for videos. And even if the stolen videos can be found, creators must fill out multiple forms, meaning it could be several days (and countless views) before a stolen video is taken down.
Facebook is like a toddler still learning to walk — it'll grab on to anything to help it stand
The question for Facebook is whether any of these criticisms even matter. Because for now, this strategy hasn't hurt Facebook at all. In fact, it's helped.
Facebook as a go-to video platform is like a toddler still learning to walk — it'll grab on to anything it can to help it stand. In that way, it's a little like YouTube in the early days. But that's where the comparisons end. When YouTube first received copyright complaints, it was a small startup with a staff of about a dozen people. Once it was bought by Google, YouTube introduced Content ID, a system that automatically checks each upload for possible copyright violations and prevents those that do from showing up on the site.
Facebook has well over a dozen employees, and can reasonably have been expected to develop a similar system before it made its big push into video. If there's a way in which Facebook compares favorably to early YouTube, it's that the stakes are arguably lower. People uploaded feature films and copyrighted music to YouTube, after all, posing simultaneous threats to Hollywood and the record industry. Freebooting, on the other hand, has mostly affected a small group of full-time YouTubers, and it's unclear how much they have lost as a result of the practice. (Freebooters don't make money off Facebook views yet, and not every YouTuber uploads their videos to Facebook.)
How many can afford to stay away?
It seems likely that Facebook is working on its own version of Content ID, and simply hasn't finished it yet. And with freebooted videos racking up millions of views and establishing Facebook as a go-to source for viral video, Facebook may not have much incentive to rush it out the door. Once it does, this entire controversy is likely to be forgotten. Facebook's monthly user base is 1.5 billion, compared to more than 1 billion for YouTube. That helps explain why the same video that gets 5 million views in four years on YouTube can get the same number of views on Facebook in just four days.
The reach, influence, and (eventually) revenue Facebook can offer content creators is staggering — which is what the company is counting on. Someday soon, freebooting will likely all but disappear, and even the angriest of content creators will start seeing dollar signs. Once Facebook's video platform is complete, how many can afford to stay away?

When someone is able to create their first business they will need to decide what sort of business structure they want. One of the most common in the condition of California would be to establish an LLC which is actually a limited liability company. Consequently more than one people own the organization and the profits will go to the different members to ensure the business does not have to submit its own individual taxes like corporations would typically do. Here we'll take a look at the details about putting together or dissolving an LLC in California.
Why Would I Want To Put In Place An llc california start date?
Putting together this type of business structure allows you to separate your business activities from your personal assets. This allows you to greatly reduce the liability you might be open to as an owner. The procedure of establishing an LLC in California is fairly straightforward but none the less, you can find a number of steps you need to take and so, many opt for services to assist them with all the process.
You'll be asked to have a company name that is certainly unique to your business which hasn't already been registered with the condition of California. You may use the state's website to ascertain if the name you desire is offered. If you're in Sacramento we can easily even help you reserve a name if you plan on starting the company afterwards.
The organizer will be the individual or company that puts together the draft to your LLC. When you opt for us we will probably be your organizer. Therefore we'll put everything together that is needed.
The law requires you have an authorized agent designated and this will be described as a corporation or an individual. This really is a requirement stipulated with the Articles Of Organization form.
In California, you'll be asked regardless of whether your llc california start date will have multiple managers, just one manager, or if perhaps this business will likely be managed by all members of the LLC. This simply means that you have to decide precisely how it will be structured. We can deal with that decision should it be needed.
When you establish your company in California you'll must see how it will likely be governed and the way the pay, capital, and profits is going to be distributed. Other variables that have to be regarded are fiduciary constraints, voting, and liability.
This state necessitates that you file articles of organization which give all the information from the company. The California Secretary of State will have to give its acceptance then from that moment the business is formed.
You have got to offer an EIN number as a way to have got a business account with your bank. Furthermore you will want it to file taxes regardless if the company has one employee or a couple of.
The state requires $800 as a minimum annual tax. This will have to be paid annually like the first year. This may not be linked to income or other taxation but is simply a fee to do business within the state.
You may typically need one or more permits or licenses to function in a particular county or city the place you have your company. In the event you fail to find the required licenses or permits you can face extremely expensive fines.
When you form your llc california start date you need to file your SI or Annual Report inside a maximum of 90 days. After the first filing, you are going to then should file every two years. This permits this state to remain updated about any information associated with your organization.
You can find three various ways California allows when dissolving your LLC. It is possible to speak to us about allowing you to choose and process one that is suitable for your personal situation. Should you be the only owner or if perhaps all owners agreed to the dissolution then you will simply should file one certificate of cancellation with the state.
After getting the Certificate of Dissolution you may complete the needed information as well as signing it and dating it. Indicate your reason for dissolving the company and whether or not all members are in agreement. Provide the necessary information regarding assets and debts and then file it using the state.
Our business helps individuals in and around Sacramento with expedited services from the state. We can assist you in setting up all of the necessary documents you need to file along with helping you with having all of the necessary copies. We provide the service of issuing State checks that are required and even in-person submissions of your respective documents in Sacramento.
When's the Secretary of State processes your documents we can pick them up for you personally. We can easily get certified copies of the filings. We could also try and get certified copies as well as a receipt of payment through regular mail.
We will help you file your content of Organization with the state and it can all be expedited. We even provide 24-hour rush services for LLCs. We have a few options for individuals who need different documents relevant to their business processed quickly. Prices of such options vary and depends on the kind of document you will need.
Our 24 hour filing service cost a bit more but allows you to submit your documents and never have to check them just before when you're planning to submit them. To make best use of this particular service in Sacramento indicates that you must get the documents to us by 9:30 am. Call or may be found in today to observe how we are able to help.
