The Gate , 1987
Well it's that time of year again, when Dion Baia and J. Blake sit down and up their output to one-episode-a-week for the Halloween season. And for the 2017 Horror-extravaganza the boys are kicking the month off with an often-requested film by SNMS listeners, the absolute cult classic, The Gate, from 1987.
The lads start off by reminiscing about their first childhood sleepovers in which they had friends attending; watching certain movies at a young age that they only learn the names of much years later in life; and the old idea from when we were all kids, that if you dig a hole deep enough, you'd make it to China– (remember that old myth?!) Blake and Dion then get down to business, discussing this horror classic. They chat about how the script got off the ground, shooting up in Canada, and how very early on it was decided to make this a horror movie specifically geared toward kids. They get into the occultism phenomenon that swept the country and world in the 1970s and 80s, giving us subgenres of horror films (like this one), music, and even things aimed at children, like Ouija Board's that are still mass-produced by companies like Hasbro. The fellas also talk about the excellent Special Effects in the film, particularly the amazing use of Forced Perspective, which really helped sell the Minions' interaction with the human cast. So, what film did SFX man Randall William Cook screen for the filmmakers to sell them on this ideas for the SFX in The Gate ? How do those Effects hold up today? In what direction does the sequel go? And what's the story with the film's costar, Louis Tripp, and his journey from moving to Austrialia and changing his name from "Twelve Twenty", to now Baph Tripp and releasing music under the name x.a.o.s? Well, make sure you don't accidently read any dubious LP cover art or crudely dispose of any recently deceased family pets in any bottomless pits in the backyard, cause the guys are back with an all new, Halloween edition of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers!
Check out the original trailer for The Gate !

The Rocketeer, 1991
Hello everyone, welcome back to another exciting and enthralling edition of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers! This week J. Blake and Dion Baia are celebrating an epic milestone with an epic podcast! It's SNMS' two year anniversary and the boys have picked a film near and dear to their hearts, one that has gained a sizable cult following over the 25 years since it's original release. This week they take on the classic action/adventure, The Rocketeer, from 1991.
Dion and Blake kick off the podcast with a pseudo-State of the Union, reflecting on the past year. They chat about the movies they've covered, the growing community of listeners and those who also frequent their Facebook page, and how humbling it has been for them. Then they seque into this epic anniversary cast, and setup the backstory of the Rocketeer. They discuss the creator Dave Stevens' journey getting character from comic to screen, and Disney's eventual involvement and the sparring that occurred between him and the company (aka the then Chairman and CEO Michael Eisner) over keeping the property as pure as possible with the transition to screen. The boys again explain the era of the 1980's and how hard it really was to get a comic book movie done, let alone a character from an independent publisher. They also chat about the era the movie is set within, the pre-war 1930's and the beautiful art movement that permeated almost every medium, Art Deco. Blake and Dion also discuss the genius of creator Dave Stevens, and all the 'historical fiction' he injected into his original content. The guys go through the various details of the historical and famous figures involved in the material, leading them to another topic they have been waiting almost two years to talk about, and one of the things that they love about this film, the homage to the great B-movie actor Rondo Hatton. They explain his history, the illness that affected his physical appearance and how by the help of Rick Baker, Rondo was able to make a posthumous appearance in one more Hollywood film, albeit 49 years later (if you don't count Scooby-Doo!). Well there's a lot to unpack on this week's episode and it's admittedly a long one, but the boys have a lot to celebrate about: a fabulous film that the fans love, and lament about a growing audience that really blows the boy's minds. So please come on down and have a listen to another hilarious, informative and engaging episode of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers!
*Dion accidently named the Chicago-era gangster Hymie Weiss, when intending to instead reference Murder Inc. co-founder Meyer Lansky.
*Dion also accidently named the classic 1942 Humphrey Bogart film Across the Pacific, when he was actually referring to the 1941 great and little known Bogart film, All Through the Night.
Quickly mentioned in the podcast but completely forgotten to be brought up again before the conclusion and ripped from the headlines, check out this news story about a modern 'Rocket man', that shows fiction becoming reality!
Take a look at this rarely seen 1991 television special entitled, Rocketeer: Excitement in the Air that aired to coincide with the theatrical release of The Rocketeer and help promote it.

Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, 1984
It's that time once again… Welcome back to another, exciting edition of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers! This week Dion Baia and J. Blake are covering a true epic, a film that was meant to return a property back to its original source material, and also reinvigorate a franchise that had been around (at the time) close to seventy-plus years. This go around the boys are taking on Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, from 1984.
Blake and Dion have a lot on their plates to get through: first laying out the backstory that legendary writer Edgar Rice Burroughs set up in his original 1912 novel Tarzan of the Apes when creating the title character, and the bigger role Burroughs played as one of the original pillars in the Pulp Tradition. They give an overview of that groundbreaking genre, and explain the vast influence it still has on the entertainment we seek out today. They also discuss sci-fi writer Harlan Ellison's scathing review of this film Greystoke, and use that critical essay as a template in comparing this 1984 version to Burroughs' original work, and if it is indeed appropriate to label this work "the definitive version"- is it a fair criticism? The lads also go into depth about Rick Baker's groundbreaking contribution to this project, and how his help specifically was the key in getting this production off the ground. But what was the reasons for having the screenwriter, Robert Towne who penned this script, sacked as director of this adaptation? What other problems did a production like this run into while trying to get this project off the ground? What exactly is the Wold Newton Family, and how is it connected here? And is Dion really a Lord ? Well come on and have a listen as the fellas match an epic movie with an epic cast as they attempt to answer all the questions in this all new episode of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers!
Read Edgar Rice Burroughs' 1912 book, Tarzan of the Apes, absolutely free!
As talked about in the podcast, here is a link to some of the Rick Baker props that went up for auction that were specifically from Greystoke.

Dick Smith – SNMS Presents: The Side-Cast: An Evening with a Hollywood Make-up Legend
Spring is upon us, and we here at SNMS thought we should again started re-airing the original series that paired Dion Baia with his cohort in crime, J. Blake in a string of podcasts called the Side-Cast. Originally airing on their sister site Podwits.com, the Side-Cast was the series catalyst for what became SNMS. To showcase where it all began we are reissuing this program, highlighting the anthology podcast that covered a variety of topics, so that they can not only breath a second life, but also continue what started in the Fall (with the exclusive interviews with Randy Jurgensen and with contributor and Horror enthusiast Dave H–), where brand new content is generated as an off-shoot of the regular SNMS Podcast.
Since last week's Dick Tracy Podcast mentioned legendary make-up artist Dick Smith, and was also about a film that relied heavily on practical make-up effects, we figured why not re-air a cast solely about this legend, which also contains Blake and Dion's personal story of their night with Mr. Smith. We hope you enjoy.
-(This podcast originally aired August the 4th, 2014, coinciding with Dick Smith's passing.)-
In this very special edition of the Podwits Side Cast, Dion and contributor J. Blake celebrate the life of the "God among Gods", SFX master, Dick Smith. They discuss his many groundbreaking achievements in cinema and touch upon the highlights of his extensive resume, bringing to light some films audiences may forget Smith was apart of. The boys then get to the gem of the cast (in their minds) and relay their personal, exciting and hilarious story of the time they spent an evening with the master himself, 15 years ago, at an event they organized!
It is truly an insightful and entertaining cast and a must for any film fan, celebrating the life and work of a great artist. Please come and have a listen!
Here's a write up Dion did in 2012 about the evening he and Blake met Dick Smith!

Harry and the Hendersons, 1987
The boys are back for an all new, exhilarating and enthralling episode of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers! J. Blake and Dion Baia are both digging back into their childhoods and taking on the legend of the Sasquatch. Instead of looking at him as a terrible monster, they pick a film that makes everyone wish they could have a big, cuddly bigfoot of their very own… 1987's Harry and the Hendersons.
Dion and Blake discuss the mythology of the creature, particularly as it relates to cinema and the small screen of the 1970's-80's. They get into the mixed reviews that this feel-good film received upon its initial release, and frankly don't hold back their opinions regarding the matter. They chat about the overall themes, and how it related then (and now) to the social and ecological movements of the era. They also segue to the other elephant in the room, the genius that is SFX pioneer Rick Baker and his body of work, and their mutual disgust that he announced earlier this year that he is retiring because…wait for it… there is not enough work out there because of the use of CGI today in moviemaking. And again, the lads don't hold back on their thoughts on the subject. So get your tent, outdoor gear, and a pair of binoculars because we're off looking for Sasquatch and Yeti's in this weeks all new episode of Saturday Night Movie Sleepovers!
Listen to the complete novelization here, courtesy of Audiobooks for the Damned!
Take a look at the Harry and the Hendersons 25th Anniversary Panel, featuring SFX Artist Rick Baker and director William Dear!

HIV counseling and testing of pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa: experiences from a study on prevention of mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
The aim of this study was to determine the acceptability of HIV counseling and testing and participation in a mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission intervention study using antiretroviral therapy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, one of the sites for the Joint United Nations Program on AIDS (UNAIDS) multicenter Petra trial. HIV testing was offered to all pregnant women who visited three prenatal clinics in Dar es Salaam before 34 weeks' gestation. Group or individual pretest counseling was performed by trained midwives. Laboratory diagnosis of HIV infection was based on two sequential anti-HIV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Posttest counseling was given 2 weeks later to women who wished to know their HIV status. HIV testing was offered to a total of 10,010 pregnant women from June 1996 to May 1998, of whom 76.4% (7647 of 10,010) agreed to be tested. The prevalence of HIV-1 infection was 13.7% (1050 of 7647). Overall, 68.1% (5205 of 7647) returned for their results. Of the HIV-1-seropositive respondents, 27.4% (288 of 1050) agreed to participate in the Petra trial after fulfilling the eligibility criteria. Only 16.7% (48 of 288) of the enrolled women disclosed their positive HIV serostatus to their sexual partners. The main reasons for not disclosing the HIV serostatus were fear of stigma and divorce. Sixty percent (29 of 48) of the informed sex partners agreed to be tested for HIV and 69% (20 of 29) tested HIV seropositive. Pregnancy recurrence rate was 4.4 per 100 women years (18 pregnancies during 408 women years of follow-up) with 10 of 18 (55.6%) women not wanting to carry the pregnancy to term. In conclusion, this information is useful in planning intervention programs for prevention of mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission and it shows that improvements are required in counseling.

Are you an experienced hardgainer whose workouts have stalled?
It is tough when you start to see your gains dry up.
It can sap your motivation and make going to the weightroom seem like drudgery.
If you are an experienced lifter whose progress has stalled, just know that we have all gone through this. Plateaus are no fun, especially when they seem to last for months.
Before we go any further, I want you to know there is no "magic formula" for getting out of this funk. What works for one guy, may not work for us. Advanced workouts require even more focus on diet, as well as being even more purposeful in the gym.
Problems arise when guys get so frustrated, they start listening to anyone in the gym, or go to a muscle magazine and read what the "Pros" (steroid juiced to the gills) do.
* Any kind of "blitz" focusing on one muscle group, such as the "5-day Bench Blitz" or the "5-day Curl Blitz". These are recipes for tendonitis injuries.
* Purchasing expensive "secret high-tech" supplements.
Advanced muscle building workouts require some experimentation, but you do NOT need to change everything all at once. Positive change takes place over several weeks, not several workouts.
The stronger you are, the more slowly growth in strength and lean muscle will come. This is why NFL players and Olympic athletes understand that reality means they can only gain about 1 to 1-1/2 lbs of rock hard muscle in an entire month.
However, just because I have had success with this does not mean anyone else will. It is just to be used as a guide for your own experiments.
Brad Pilon, the author of the hugely successful Eat Stop Eat fat loss program has now come out with a mega-selling program for advanced lifters.
His Anabolic Again Advanced Workouts is designed specifically for hardgainers who are experiencing hormonal slowdown and have stalled in their strength/lean muscle gains.
* Have been using the SAME weights during their workouts.
* Have NOT gained muscle in at least a year.
* Have tried dozens of tweaks to get off the plateau.
* Have increased their calories, but only put on belly fat.
* Feel lethargic instead of jacked-up when they head to the gym.
Anabolic Again Advanced Workouts is unconventional and only geared to a small segment of guys who train.
If you have been looking for advanced muscle building workouts that get results, Brad's proven program will be worth considering.
Some readers are hesitant because of the price of Brad's program. If you would like to start with a less expensive advanced muscle building program, Jeff Anderson's Optimum Anabolics was the leader for advanced lifters before Brad's program hit the market.


The New England School of Homeopathy (NESH) was created in 1990 to translate homeopathic philosophy into the successful and predictable practice of medicine.

As of Feb. 3, 2019, Stellar has a price of $0.082543, a 1-year performance of -74.50%, and a year-to-date performance of -$26.51.
💎 EOS/USD Price Prediction — $5 Was Not Broken: Do Bulls Have Power for Revival? 💎 TOP 3 Price Predictions: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP) — Has The Bull Run Followed by A Pull Back? 🚀 Bitcoin Price Is Heading to Its Next $7,000 Target! When Will BTC Break Resistance?
Our Stellar (XLM) article about its forecast in February 2019 will mention some price prediction ranges from various sources. As for the question whether Stellar will soon find a bottom, it is a very challenging one to answer.
As of Feb. 3, 2019, Stellar has a price of $0.082543, a 1-year performance of -74.50%, and a year-to-date performance of -$26.51. It has declined from the high price of $0.35 in February 2018 to the low price of $0.082543 and has made a recent top at the price level of $0.12 back in January 2019.
👉MUST READ Stellar Price Prediction for 2019: How Much Will Be Cost XLM in 2019?
As Stellar is very close to its 52-week low price, what are some Stellar price prediction ranges to consider?
CoinPredictor has the following price-based forecast algorithm: "Our specific event-based Stellar prediction overview is guessing that XLM value is going to drop-off and will be -2.8% moving towards $0.080307 by 02-19-2019". A very conservative Stellar price prediction on a monthly basis.
LongForecast predicts that during February 2019 Stellar (XLM) will have an open price of $0.081, a low-high range of $0.056-$0.089 and a close price of $0.060, a monthly decline of -25.9%. Overall a bearish Stellar price prediction, estimating that the current downtrend has more room to continue.
Wallet Investor is optimistic about Stellar on a longer time frame, having a 1-year forecast price of $0.19, but for this month its Stellar price prediction is a range between $0.008-$0.007.
Crypto Ground has a 1-month price forecast of $0.0838 for Stellar Lumens, a gain of +3.26% compared to its current price of about $0.08.
30-Rates forecasts that on Thursday, February 28, 2019 the low-high range for the Stellar price will be $0.056-$0.064, and the average price will be $0.060. Another pessimistic Stellar price prediction for February.
In general, most Stellar price prediction ranges from the above sources are in favor of lower prices during February 2019.
We will analyze both the weekly and daily charts for Stellar.
The weekly chart shows a strong downtrend without any confirmed signals of trend reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend. The daily chart is also very bearish for the price of Stellar.
We can mention only two positive signals: a positive divergence for MACD and a Stochastic indicator (14,3,3) being in deeply oversold levels, below the level of 20. If the price is to bounce, a target would be the level of $0.0970, where there is both strong support, now turned to resistance and a declining 20-day exponential moving average. A higher target would be the upper daily Bollinger Band, currently at $0.1123.
The well-known motto in trading 'do not fight the trend, until it reverses' is highly applicable to the current trend of Stellar in 2019 — a continuation of a very strong downtrend that started in 2018. It is very challenging to try and find a potential bottom for the price of Stellar Lumens at these very low levels. But it is just an opinion and not an investment recommendation.
The weekly chart shows a strong downtrend, without any support levels below the current price of $0.082 as of Feb. 3, 2019. The MACD indicator is pointing down, the strength of the trend measured by the ADX/DMI indicator is strong, and the Stochastic indicator is at extreme oversold levels but without any signs of making a bullish crossover yet.
The daily chart is similar to the weekly chart. The support level of $0.096, which was formed in December 2018, was retested and broken to the downside. With declining 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages and a strong downtrend, it is very risky to be optimistic about the Stellar price at these levels. The odds are in favor of a further downtrend continuation. We cannot find any support level as a potential price target, but an estimate would be lower prices near the level of $0.007-$0.06.
The technical analysis for now is very bearish for Stellar and is too risky to predict a bottom. Our Stellar price prediction, just an opinion, is therefore that the downtrend most probably will continue in February 2019.

By now, it's probably not news to you that most fast food choices are bad for your health. Packed with artery-clogging, heart-attack-causing amounts of calories, fat and sodium, many fast food items are essentially death traps in little cardboard boxes.
While most fast food chains have added "healthy" or "light" items to their menus over the past couple of years, an opposite trend can also be observed: Many of them are also producing new menu choices with a record high amount of calories, fat and sodium. These companies defend the availability of these unhealthy items by saying they "meet an important demand."
Don't get sucked in. You'll be putting yourself at risk for obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and many more unsightly diseases, many of which can kill you. In an effort to help you make decent fast food choices, I have picked some of the worst fast foods on the market and provided all the essential nutritional information.

Sofia's Critics Lose it in Translation
by Leilla Matsui
Even before Sofia Coppola's Oscar winning "Lost in Translation" opens in Tokyo where it was shot on location, a mini-controversy has erupted here over the film's alleged racism; a charge that at least one local observer has already leveled against the filmmaker in an editorial on the Japan Today website. The now widely circulated article has generated a mudslinging match between the film's defenders and its outraged critics who condemn it for its apparent portrayal of Japanese people as little more than buffoonish backdrops in yet another unwelcome Hollywood incursion onto these shores. It should be noted, though, that very few on either side of this particular internet debate have actually seen the film as it isn't due for release here until the end of April.
The director herself was on hand recently at a private screening for a select audience made up almost entirely of the Japanese cast and crew (including yours truly) at Cinema Rise, a basement theatre in Tokyo's fashionably high-octane Shibuya district. Jetlagged, but appearing otherwise unruffled, Ms. Coppola made a low-key entrance, mingling among the 200 or so champagne swilling guests which included underground superstar, Hiromix -- Japan's girl wonder Warhol of the disposable camera who appears in the film as herself. If anyone sums up "LIT's" pitch perfect pop sensibility, it's the flamboyantly shy Hiromix, who catapulted into fame in the late '80s when she was still in her teens, bringing a hard-edged and defiantly low-tech innocence to the male dominated world of photography.
Similarly, Sofia Coppola has defied the odds of success by soft-focusing her sights on character driven, low budget projects which she is loathe to publicly analyze, or otherwise explain. At a recent press conference at the Shinjuku Park Hyatt Hotel where much of the film was shot, Ms. Coppola with characteristic simplicity described her film as "... a personal expression of my feelings and the impressions I got when I first came to Tokyo. I've just told it from the point of view of two foreigners. All my favorite experiences in Tokyo, places I liked to hang out, some of my friends here ... they are all in the film," emphasizing there was nothing more to it than that.
However unintended it may be as a strategy, her non-acknowledgement of the brewing controversy is perhaps, a smart move. Words, like landmines, have a way of blowing up in one's face and Ms. Coppola wisely keeps a cool distance from the media. She appears to have perfected an intricately choreographed balancing act between graciousness and aloofness, downplaying her obvious intelligence to divert unwelcome scrutiny into her life and work. In Hollywood's high colonic culture, she stands conspicuously at a distance from the clamorously confessional fray. Her somewhat detached and non-verbal air plays better here than the usual bubble headed gushings of visiting Hollywood royalty. In Japan, her greatest attribute is an ability to blend right in.
Since launching "Milk Fed"; her ironically girly clothing line for the fashionably savvy twenty-something set who make up a large demographic of Shibuya's adrenaline charged shopping hordes, Sophia Coppola has long been Japan's reigning Empress of understated indie chic. The crowd for the most part reflected the retail sensibilities of the diminutive director who has long had her finger on the nation's hard to locate fashion pulse -- no small feat since Tokyoites notoriously discard trends at a rate the rest of us change underwear. In a country where visual communication conveys more meaning than the verbal variety, she has mastered the local language without even having to open her mouth; a point that may ultimately prove to be her best defense against her detractors' charges of cultural miscalculation.
Like all publicity, the dubious nature of even this kind will likely increase the film's chances at the box-office despite its limited screening to only one theatre when it's released. In a nation struggling to preserve its identity amid the cancerous encroachment of American culture into every facet of life, anthropological self-examination is a national preoccupation. To an outsider, Japan appears to be a nation on permanent damage control alert, keenly and overly aware of how it's perceived to the outside world. The squeamish reaction to the voyeuristic gawkings of outsiders is mostly justifiable. The Japanese have long considered themselves sitting duck targets for hit and run observers of the local scene who view them as either robotic wind up toys with the emotional depth of a Hello Kitty change purse, or worse, reverential objects of sexually charged exoticism. Think of "Snow Falling on a Stiff White Penis" and you get the idea of the more odious latter.
No stranger to Japan, or unprovoked, below the belt critical lashings for that matter, (remember "Godfather 3") Sofia Coppola was likely aware that the title of her film could prove to be a self-fulfilling prophecy for the simple reason that she chose to make it here. Whether or not she anticipated any backlash from such an undertaking, she made a laudable choice for not attempting to defuse the fall-out by resorting to that old Hollywood standby of inserting a sagely sexless Pat Morita/Morgan Freeman type into the script to deflect accusations of negatively representing minorities. Ironically enough, it was her refusal to stoop to a time worn cliché which has brought charges of stereotyping against her. To her credit, Sofia Coppola allows her Japanese characters to exist on their own terms, in their own language. The locals who the film's protagonists encounter in everyday life are, ultimately, indifferent to the presence of these American visitors -- a refreshing and radical departure from the typical Eurocentric view which places Westerners at the centre of everyone else's universe.
In a wonderful ironic twist, Coppola's film reveals America, and not Japan, as a materialistic, straightjacketed society. In the puzzling and "alien" environment of Tokyo, Charlotte and Bob find themselves outsiders in their own culture, estranged and disconnected from other Americans, particularly their own spouses. If Charlotte has learned anything about what it means to be married (and perhaps even American), it's that one must be relentlessly optimistic at all times and submit to the tyranny of all that good cheer. The survival of her marriage depends on her ability to conceal her cynicism beneath a placid armor of acceptance that all is good and perfect with the world. Her photographer husband is the embodiment of the American "smile nazi," constantly rebuking his languishing spouse for being "too negative" and both of them tossing out "I love you" with cringe-inducing regularity to signal that communication between them is over. Charlotte places bright plastic blossoms in all the hotel room's light fixtures as if to reassure herself that all this optimism she isn't feeling is at least on display.
Bob's wife is a disembodied telephone voice, as sinister as HAL's, reminding him that love is a monetarily determined thing. After all, who else is going to pay for all those home improvement projects? For Bob, staying married is contingent upon his ability to bankroll someone else's boredom. Having provided the requisite children, there's little else for him to do. Ultimately, it's his marriage that forces him to serve out the term of his midlife crisis in Tokyo, paying for the loss of his dignity at a humiliatingly high asking price.
Charlotte is similarly condemned to being a third wheel appendage in someone else's life but without the benefit of a career to fall back on. Dipping her toe into the murky waters of her own creative possibilities, she literally stubs it and later has it checked out in a hospital, where the verdict of no real damage done is aimed more at her bruised self-confidence.
At this point, Bob and Charlotte's blossoming friendship opens up the realization for both of them of Tokyo's liberating qualities -- a point almost always overlooked by Western observers who lack the imagination to appreciate the robust individuality of the people who live here. The film contrasts the city's delirious wonderland qualities against the austere calm of Kyoto's temple gardens whose beauty only heightens Charlotte's sense that she is trespassing, not only on this property, but in her own life as well.
The luxury hotel they both confine themselves to during much of their stay provides a kind of oasis in the beginning, a floating fortress buttressing them against the baffling sprawl below. As the film unfolds, Coppola subtly shifts the perspective to show the plate glass windows as barriers and Tokyo's apparent absurdities are gradually revealed as a positive and regenerative force. By contrast, American society seems as dim and confining as the hotel's cocktail lounge where Bob and Charlotte plan their first "jailbreak".
In Japan, Bob and Charlotte are linguistically at a loss but are eventually able to "read the signs," embarking on a journey not unlike Roland Barthes' in 1970 when the French philosopher made his semiotic journey to the "Empire of Signs" -- a fictive and fabricated utopia he referred to as "Japan". Once the emptiness of speech is revealed to them, communication is finally possible. The subtle interplay of glance and gesture makes Coppola's film a tribute to great Japanese filmmakers like Yasujiro Ozu (often referred to as "the most Japanese filmmaker") whose meticulously crafted films about seemingly little things make "Lost in Translation" more a Japanese film than a film about Japan -- a point her detractors here seemed to have overlooked. Perhaps they've gotten so used to American movies that they are unable to recognize a Japanese one when they see it.

About UsNick Webb2021-04-01T15:54:09+00:00
Our daughter was born with a bilateral moderate-to-severe sensorineural hearing loss. Thankfully, due to newborn screening in the state we lived in at the time, it was caught early, because early intervention is key to the development of language for children. If left unaided, hearing loss can negatively impact educational, social, and emotional development as well.
About three years ago, I felt a nudge on my heart to do something that would make a difference for children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing and want amplification. With guidance from my faith, and help from family and friends, we created Hear 2 help in 2017. Our organization partners with providers to identify children who may go without assistive technologies, due to the fact most insurance does not cover the cost of hearing aids. We then provide financial assistance, directly to the provider, to make the purchase possible. We currently serve the entire state of Kansas as well as the greater Kansas City metro area.
Hear 2 help's mission is to provide financial assistance for hearing aids & assistive technology so these children have a strong foundation to reach their full potential. Our vision is that every child who wants amplification has access to hearing aids. Hearing aids are a big financial commitment—not only because they are very expensive, but because they are not a one-time purchase; typically they last only 4-6 years. Hear 2 help grows awareness of the issues facing families who deal with these circumstances and raises funds to provide assistance. We are a 100% volunteer-ran 501(c)3 based in Overland Park, KS.
Our family has seen firsthand the impact of early intervention. It is huge and we feel truly blessed by it.
Terri Steinlage
Terri@Hear2helpkc.org
Terri wears many hats at Hear 2 help. As the co-founder/executive director/board member, she coordinates, organizes and works with the families, partner providers and the amazing Hear 2 help volunteer team. She spreads the word about our organization, so that we can provide a hand up to families financially and get their children the hearing aids and assistive technology they need. She's a mom on a mission so that no child goes without. The things she loves most about serving are making a difference in the lives of children—and receiving updates about the children they've helped. As the parent of a child who is hard-of-hearing (and who is also the inspiration for Hear 2 help), Terri recognizes the huge impact early intervention can make on the life of a child who is deaf/hard of hearing.
Chris Steinlage
Chris@Hear2helpkc.org
Chris assists the other Hear 2 help board members and our team of volunteers throughout the year, planning and executing our fundraising activities. He also serves as an advisor to the executive director of the organization. His most rewarding part of Hear 2 help is the letters and emails from parents or children after they have received new hearing technology. As the parent of a daughter who was born hard-of-hearing, Chris recognizes the difference hearing aids can have on a child—something that is hard to put into words. When he's not volunteering for Hear 2 help, he works as a strategic business advisor. At home, he enjoys outdoor activities, DIY projects, and making dad jokes that his wife and daughter tolerate. (And if you didn't catch the same last name, his wife is our other co founder, Terri!)
Karon Martin
Karon@Hear2helpkc.org
Karon's role at Hear 2 help is focusing on finding creative methods to fund the prohibitively high cost of children's hearing aids. She found her purpose at Hear 2 help, because our mission hits close to home—her youngest daughter was born with bilateral conductive hearing loss. After years helping the local school district with hearing and vision testing, she saw the poor classroom engagement in kids who were hard-of-hearing. The dilemma became her calling to give back—to ensure that kids don't fall behind in learning just because they can't afford amplification devices. When she's not working on behalf of the families we help, she's working on behalf of her own—with three daughters in college at the same time (along with two dogs and a Type A husband), it's a more than-full-time job in its own right.
"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much."

Right message, wrong approach. He also misses a huge part of the argument… yes, I believe we are with them but dont forget we are also their boss. They are by definition PUBLIC SERVANTS.

Didnt impress me, in fact turned me off. However it may appeal to many so in that regard I am glad it was posted. We need to get the message out as often and in as many ways as we can.

Oh sure we'll stand with leos & I'm sure we know who will stand against. My guess is that leos ( just like everyone else) have their own moral compasses. When you take an oath will you log it out or hold your head up. Always remember the nazis were just following orders, how'd that work out?
Zavier_D April 6, 2021, 1:18pm #12
I took an oath to protect and preserve the Constitution of the United States against enemies both foreign and domestic.
I do not remember there being an end date to that oath.
AdamHutch April 6, 2021, 1:54pm #13
This was needed. Oathbreakers need to remember who supports them. Oathbreakers need to know, there are consequences to failure. Nothing against LEO's personally, but wake up and smell the coffee.
Let's just take Salem, OR for an example. Had any of those oathbreakers done their job, and chose to enforce the laws against antifa; then the gentleman would have never had to get out of his vehicle and pull his weapon. End of argument right there. I'm sick of situations like this. And I understand both sides of it. But after years of following these cases, YES LEO'S need to be reminded what their real job, and who their oath truly goes to. If you can't stand for the constitution first, you'll fall for anything.

What would be the difference? You would still be watching a YT video and I don't do rumble. Watch it or not!
Lewis_terry April 7, 2021, 6:59pm #18
I totally support Law Enforcement, especially at the city, county, and state levels. The LEO's don't often need support in critical situations, but I for one have their backs, will so identify verbally to LEO's if possible, and do whatever is necessary to keep a LEO from losing his/her life.
Stephen207 April 7, 2021, 9:26pm #19
I read the comments , This guy is Right on, it doesn't matter how its said there is a line that was crossed, My friend and family are LEO's I support them but when you start Arresting people at Church and shutting down Businesses, You have become Nazi's was that pastor really a threat to the Public watch some Hitler Documentaries. This Will Not Stand, He's Ranting BECAUSE WE THE PEOPLE Are Pissed , Check your Offended card at the door, stop arresting law abiding Citizens, for The New Commies Those little office ■■■■■ can't do anything without you so don't help them Destroy Our Country and Burn Our Constitution.

Density maps

Density maps are a great way to render a lot of overlapping data. When data points that have some kind of an (x,y) relationships and you have sampled a lot of data, it would make little sense to render it with a normal line serie because:

It looks really bad

It doesn't show any weighing of your dataset

It can become really slow

Sometimes, a line serie wouldn't even make sense (think population density, for example)

This is where density maps come in. Density maps are really a great way to render a huge amount of data in a nutshell. They take as an input as many (x,y) datapoints as you wish, and will resample the data into a 2D matrix (x,y) = nb where nb is the number of datapoints falling into the boundaries [ x-dx, x+dx [ U [ y-dy, y+dy [. We will call one set of (x,y,nb) as a bin. Basically, jsGraph calculates the density map by looping through your data and incrementing one of the 2D counters, the one closest to the (x,y) vector.

Defining density map series

var serieMapDensity = graph.newSerie( serieName, serieOptions, 'densitymap' ); // Case sensitive

Where, as usual, serieName should be unique for your instance of jsGraph and serieOptions are currently not implemented for the density map.

Data format

As of today, there is only one way to set the (x,y) data of the serie: an array of (x,y) arrays:

serieMapDensity.setData( [ [ x1, y1 ], [ x2, y2 ], ..., [ xn, yn ] ] );

NB: Don't forget setting the axes of the serie using serie.setXAxis, serie.setYAxis or serie.autoAxis.

Calculate a density map

Calculate the density map takes only one instruction, but it requires you to select the minimum values, interval values and number of bins you want to use. This can allow you to calculate the map on a subset of your data. The instruction goes as follows

var map = serieMapDensity.calculateDensityMap( fromX, deltaX, numX, fromY, deltaY, numY );

fromX could be serieMapDensity.getDataMin() to select the minimum value to start computing with as the minimum value of your (x,y) data

deltaX could be ```( serieMapDensity.getDataMax() - serieMapDensity.getDataMin() ) / ( numX - 1 )

numX is simply the number of bins you want to be shown

 The automatic way with autoBins

In practice calculateDensityMap is rather used internally. Although nothing prevents you from using explicitely, as a starting point, jsGraph exposes an easier method, serieMapDensity.autoBins( numX, numY ) which does exactly what I described above: it uses the minimum value and maximum value of your data in the x and y direction to set the boundaries of the density map.

 Adapt it to your screen

A perhaps more clever way to calculate a density map is to take into account the amount of space on your graph. It doesn't make sense to show 1'000 bins x 1'000 bins on a 300x300 drawing area. serieMapDensity.setPxPerBin takes care of that problem by replacing calculateDensityMap and autoBins. When the serie is about to be redrawn, setPxPerBin will look at the drawing width and height, divide it by a certain number you can specifiy (the number of bins per pixels) and recalculate the density map on the fly. Here's how to call it:

var map = serieMapDensity.setPxPerBin( 3, 5 ); // 3px per bin in x direction, 5px per bin in y direction

Color maps

At this point, we have calculate a density map, but still there is nothing to display because we haven't told jsGraph how to color each one of the bins. We introduce now the color maps, which is basically just like defining a gradient. Color maps are not limited to only 2 stop colors, but can take as many as you want. You can even define yourself the number of colors you want.

A word of warning though. The more colors you want, the more DOM elements will have to be created. I would avoid 16-bit coloring if I were you

Ok, let's see now how to create a color map:

 HSL(A) color maps

Currently, they are the only kind of maps supported by jsGraph but they are probably the easier to handle in my opinion. The format for each HSLA element is { h: [ 0-360 ], s: [ 0-1 ], l: [0-1], a: [0-1] }

Let's take the classical black-to-red-to-yellow example (the heat map):

serieMapDensity.colorMapHSL( [
	{ h: 0, s: 1, l: 0 }, // Black
	{ h: 0, s: 1, l: 0.5 }, // Red
	{ h: 60, s: 1, l: 0.5 } // Yellow
], 300 ); // Use 300 colors

Another classic example is the rainbow color map, from blue to red, corresponding to three quarter of the hue wheel:

serieMapDensity.colorMapHSL( [
	{ h: 270, s: 1, l: 0.5 }, // Blue
	{ h: 0, s: 1, l: 0.5 } // Red
], 300 ); // Use 300 colors

 Automatic color map boundaries

jsGraph can use only a sub-set of the color map by changing the boundaries of the color map. There will be more to that later, but let's skip it for a second, and let's use the minimum and maximum bin number found by colorMapDensity. For this, you need to call the method:

serie.autoColorMapBinBoundaries();

Let's put all of this together

Let's display your first color map. From there on we will use this example to demonstrate more advanced features.

var graph = new Graph("graph-example-3").resize(400, 250);
graph.getXAxis().turnGridsOff();
graph.getYAxis().turnGridsOff();
var s = graph.newSerie("s1", {}, "densitymap");
s.setData( data ).autoAxis();
s.setPxPerBin( 5, 5, false );
s.colorMapHSL( [
  { h: 270, s: 1, l: 0.5 }, // Blue
  { h: 0, s: 1, l: 0.5 }, // Red
], 300 ); // Use 300 colors
graph.draw();

Neat, no ?

 Custom bin boundaries

To go a little further, let's imagine that in the previous data set, every bin with a value lower that half the full range should be purple. For this purpose, we can use the onRedrawColorMapBinBoundaries and setColorMapBinBoundaries methods. So what's the difference ?

setColorMapBinBoundaries( minBin, maxBin ) will directly set the bin values and works when the map is not recalculated on the fly. When is the map recalculated on the fly ? It's done when you are using the setPxPerBins method, or you called the setBinsFromTo. In either case, the series enters a mode where any direct call to calculateDensityMap has no impact, because it's called internally upon redraw

onRedrawColorMapBinBoundaries( callback ) is used for the other case. You need to feed a callback that returns a 2-element vector, the first value being the new min bin value, the second the new max bin value. The callback will fire with 2 parameters, the binMin and binMax values calculated by the calculateDensityMap method. These values are the extremeties of the density map and settings your color map bins boundaries further than them would have no impact.

Let's take a look at the same example, but with an additional method in there:

s.onRedrawColorMapBinBoundaries( function( min, max ) {
	return [ (min + max) / 2, max ];
});

"Puppy Strangles" is the everyday term for juvenile cellulitis, also called juvenile pyoderma. The disease results from a temporary compromise of the puppy's immune system causing nodules or pustules on the skin. It usually occurs between 3 weeks and 4 months of age. These skin lesions usually arise on the face or ears. Lymph nodes or skin around the face may be swollen. The puppy may have tender skin or joint pain. This disease is not life-threatening but can be painful. Treatment is aimed at controlling pain and inflammation, preventing or treating secondary skin infections, and preventing scarring.
This is not a hereditary disease nor is it infectious. Puppies which have juvenile cellulitis almost never have it a second time.

Andre Liohn of Newsweek Wins Robert Capa Gold Medal of the Overseas Press Club
The Daily Pic: André Liohn wins the Capa Gold Medal for his Libyan photos.
Updated Jul. 13, 2017 3:02PM ET / Published Apr. 25, 2012 5:20PM ET
Rebels in Misrata attack a government stronghold on April 24, 2011 (Andre Liohn / EPA)
It's that fire-orange light in the doorway at right, and the overcast blue glow outside, that make this photograph stand out. If André Liohn had taken it at any other moment, in any other light, it would be just another banal image of war. That it is not just another shot has now been confirmed, since it just helped Liohn win the Robert Capa Gold Medal of the Overseas Press Club of America. (The award ceremony is on April 25.) The photo ran in the May 9, 2011, issue of Newsweek's international edition, and is from a portfolio titled "Almost Dawn in Libya," made up of striking images shot by Liohn in the besieged city of Misrata before the fall of Muammar Gaddafi. The OPC's medal-givers called the series "a first rate example of close quarters combat photography obtained at great personal risk." But for me, what matters in this particular image is the very special, very classical beauty of the light in the picture as a whole – and the fact that the fighters in it could never have acknowledged that there was anything but horror around them. The photo's blues and oranges seem to echo some of the greatest Islamic ceramics. (Their famous blue glaze, at least, is right there in the tiling of the fountain in the shot.) And the siege of Misrata represents an attack on everything such cultural treasures stand for.

I have only recently started sewing complete outfits for my daughter and while I am happy sewing dresses and leggings, I have not yet ventured into making cardigans, coats and jackets for her. I was hoping to make her a cardigan (mommy and baby matching cardigans actually) this season.
When I saw the tester call for the fishtail kimono, I knew I had to try it and I am so glad I did. With design features like soft draped sleeves, gathers at the back and a hi-lo hem, the fishtail kimono was the perfect pattern for my little's first cardigan.
The Fishtail Kimono is a well laid out, beautifully drafted pattern with every fine detail taken care of. The instructions along with the pictures make for a very smooth sailing and quick sew. Gabriela includes some great sewing and finishing techniques in this pattern, with options and instructions to adjust the sleeve and body lengths, finishing the hems by a hem facing or a rolled hem, and the option to add an all-in-one neckband or a neckband with a facing to add a button and loop closure. The pattern also has some great features like layered sizes and no-trim pages making it a breeze to print and assemble in no time.
For this first version, I used a light weight rayon jersey from Girl Charlee.
She's awesome at being photographed when the mood to pose strikes. She'll even turn her back and stand poised until she's sure we've gotten enough pictures of the back.
I love how dainty it looks with the gathers at the seam and the hi lo hem.
For the second version, I used a shimmery striped sweater knit from Joann fabrics.
The Fishtail Kimono PDF pattern comes in sizes XXS (18-24 months) to XXL (12 years). It can be made in knits like rayon blends and sweater knits as well as wovens like chiffon and georgette making it a versatile all season pattern that is an absolute must have!
This is Chalk and Notch's first pattern release, and based on what a high quality, detail oriented pattern the Fishtail Kimono is, I can't wait to see what other patterns they come up with! Check out Gabriela's amazing chiffon and georgette fishtail kimonos and more tester versions over at Chalk and Notch, and while you're at it, make sure you get a copy of your own.
Her outfit is so perfect! I love that horse print and need to make one for my horsey loving gal. Paired with the tights and leg warmers? Perfect!
Seriously how cute is she?!?! She looks like a ball of fun! Great job with the pairing Indu!
Awww you're sweet, Thanks so much Candice! photo shoots with her are fun!:) And thank you, I do struggle with pairing most times.
These are both so pretty! And your daughter is so adorable — she looks like she's having so much fun ❤ What a joy!
