President Bush announced in 2008 that Hungary would be added to the United States Visa Waiver Program (VWP) later that same year on November 17th. Since then, Hungarian citizens have been able to apply for admittance to the U.S. without a visa through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). ESTA is an online application that grants Hungarians access to the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa for the purpose of business, tourism (including medical purposes), and non-credit study programs. If your purpose of traveling to the U.S. does not fit these criteria's, then you may apply for a B-2 tourist visa at the nearest U.S. Embassy.
There are six airports in Hungary: Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD), Debrecen International Airport, Győr-Pér International Airport, Nyíregyháza Airport, Hévíz–Balaton Airport, and Pécs-Pogány International Airport. And from Budapest International Airport, you can fly to New York and Chicago.
With LOT Polish Airlines, you can fly directly on a nonstop flight to Chicago in 10.45 hours. If you are flying to New York, you have 60+ connecting flights to choose from. If you want to check out which carriers that fly from Budapest, you can check out this page here.
Getting to the airport by car is a breeze. Depending on the traffic, you can drive from the city center to the airport in 20-60 minutes on the high-speed road. The high-speed road is separated from the public traffic with a sting barrier making it less prone to delays.
Főtaxi is the preferred taxi service in Budapest. Drivers speak at least one foreign language and accept credit cards. A ride from the city center will set you back 7200 HUF (26 EUR) depending on traffic conditions.
When should you apply for ESTA?
Since December 2018 it has been obligatory for travelers to apply for an ESTA at least 72 hours before boarding a plane. To be on the safe side, travelers are recommended to apply weeks or months in advance to make sure that their travel authorization (ESTA) is approved. If you need a visa, then apply for a B-2 visa at the nearest U.S. Embassy. But be aware that it can take a very long time to complete. If you have plans to visit the United States in the near future, then apply today. Read more about the ESTA application here.
Hungarians with an approved ESTA can check its status or make updates. Visit this page for more information: verify/update ESTA.

Why double murderer Patea wants legal advice
by JACOB MILEY
21st Sep 2020 6:49 AM
DOUBLE murderer Lionel Patea is seeking legal advice about suing the State Government about an injury sustained in a melee with prison officers.
But he is reluctant to put his name to the complaint because he doesn't want to be seen as a "dog" to those involved.
Patea claims he suffered a broken hand during a scuffle at Townsville's maximum security jail in January 2019. He was later cleared of assaulting a prison officer.
His lawyer Campbell MacCallum said: "He wants to pursue civil action to get compensation for injuries which were occasioned upon him, he says, by overzealous … corrective services officers who were trying to extract him from a cell.
"He was punched multiple times while in a defenceless position and potentially suffered damage to his hand.
"However, it's difficult because the Patea family is notorious for not giving statements or being 'dogs' and … in terms of litigation there needs to be a way around making such a claim without making a criminal complaint against another person even though it is a corrective services officer."

Mr MacCallum said he was consulting a personal injuries expert.
A Queensland Corrective Services spokesman said: "We are not speculating on a possible claim. This is a matter for the individual and his legal representative."
In a separate matter, Patea has been given the green light to file a personal injuries claim against GEO Group Australia Pty Ltd, who owned Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre back in 2016.

Patea claims he suffered lower back pain, pins and needles down the front of his legs, shins, toes, fingers and his back, as well as anxiety and depression, neck stiffness and pain arising out from the August 18, 2016 assault.
The matter remains before the court.
The former bikie enforcer is serving two life sentences for the unrelated Gold Coast murders of his ex-partner Tara Brown and pool builder Greg Dufty.
He is not eligible for parole until 2048.
Patea bludgeoned Ms Brown, to death with a fire hydrant cover after running her off the road in a horrific act of violence in September 2015. In 2017, he pleaded guilty to her murder.
A year later he admitted to being part of a group that beat pool builder Greg Dufty to death in the Gold Coast Hinterland and then dumped the body. His body has never been found.
Patea converted to Islam in 2017 after he was sentenced for the murder of Ms Brown.

Q: Transform Feedback Variable Redeclaration Error on iOS OpenGL ES 3.0 I am currently trying to get pixel information back out of the GPU so it can be processed/saved/fed back through the loop.
To do this, I am attempting to implement transform feedback. I am encountering issues splitting up the GPU's pipeline. This separation of the vertex and fragment shader programs means also separating the compilation and shader program creation. In implementing this, the compiler is giving me catch-22 feedback in which it tells me that if I separate the shaders, then I need to redeclare certain builtin per-vertex variables such as gl_Position.
ERROR: Built-in variable 'gl_Position' must be redeclared before use,
with separate shader objects.

But when I do that it tells me that I'm not allowed to redeclare builtin variables:
highp vec4 gl_Position;

ERROR: 0:1: Regular non-array variable 'gl_Position' may not be redeclared.
I tried redefining gl_PerVertex as in examples I've found, but it fails to recognize that gl_PerVertex is a built-in thing:
// Below ins, outs, and uniforms in the vertex shader:

out gl_PerVertex
{
    vec4 gl_Position;
    float gl_PointSize;
    float gl_ClipDistance[];
};

ERROR: 0:1: Identifier name 'gl_PerVertex' cannot start with 'gl_'
Does anyone know specifically which variable(s) to redeclare in the vertex shader for iOS to effectively redeclare gl_Position? Or was something wrong in either of the two things that I already tried?

A: The GLES 3.0 reference pages say that gl_Position is declared as
out highp vec4 gl_Position ;

Maybe the "out" will help.

A: Annoying, and surprisingly little information out there. I managed to resolve this issue with the following defined in my shaders:
    #version 300 es
    #extension GL_EXT_separate_shader_objects : enable

    out highp vec4 gl_Position;

Tested on an iPhone 5S and the simulator.

Well, there are more than enough guide books available already and in my view most of them say much the same sort of thing anyway. After all there are only so many words you can use to describe wine.
At My Man In Champagne we believe that a far better way for you to discover champagne is for you to see for yourself via videos brought to you from here in the heart of the Champagne region. That way you can learn lots more and then make up your own mind about which one appeals to you rather than rely on someone else's opinion that you've read in a guide book.
When all is said and done, The Best Champagne in the World is not necessarily the one with the highest price, or the most publicity; it's the ONE YOU LIKE BEST and only you are the judge of that.

Social media are all the rage, so the Kahani Movement should come as no surprise. Launched by Atlanta-based Dr. Sanjay Gupta and his brother Suneel (of Mozilla), this online platform attempts to create an oral and visual storehouse of stories from first-generation South Asians in the United States. It was inspired by National Public Radio's StoryCorps.
Once you register to become a member (at no charge) on the Kahani Movement website, the process for creating content is pretty straightforward. Film, photos and writings are welcome, and helpful interview tips are available for those who want to record conversations and upload them. There are also guidelines for film editing. Membership is not needed for viewing the content, which has so far been provided by a few hundred people.
Author Minal Hajratwala notes, "I'm excited to be on this site because gathering family stories is exactly what I did in order to write my nonfiction book" (Leaving India: My Family's Journey from Five Villages to Five Continents). Leena Rao, another contributor, shares a story about how her parents met by chance in the '70s when her father was a Baltimore-based physician. "It was only after my parents went on a few dates that they discovered their families were friends and lived a few streets away from each other in Madras," she says.

Venezuela's Top CEO Has Choice Words for Maduro
in Economics
Venezuela's largest food producer and distributor is in the crosshairs of the Maduro administration. (El Cambur)
Editor's note: since release in Spanish, the expropriation threat has died down, but Polar employees remain vigilant.
EspañolLorenzo Mendoza, CEO of Venezuela's iconic food production company Empresas Polar, has taken to the public domain to air his concerns with President Nicolás Maduro. Amid rumors of a government takeover, he published an open letter on Thursday, April 27.
In his letter, Mendoza urges the president to work together for the good of the country. In that vein, he demands that the administration follow the 12-step economic plan Polar delivered a year ago during talks organized by the central government.
"We all share the same interests: we want the country to move forward," writes Mendoza, whose company has been threatened with expropriation by both the late Hugo Chávez and now Maduro.
While reminding Maduro that Polar directly generates "over 30,000 jobs," Mendoza says he welcomes a peaceful response from the government: "We have always been willing to engage in dialogue to have fluid, sincere, and respectful communication."
The Letter in Full:
I address you through this letter to let you know our willingness to share our point of view regarding the conditions affecting the supply of food and beverages we produce, which in turn impacts the quality of life of all Venezuelans.
Empresas Polar is a Venezuelan corporation that has operated for almost 75 years in the country due to the trust granted by its shareholders over the course of four generations. We started in 1941 in Antímano with 50 workers, and ever since we have reinvested every year.
Today, we generate 30,000 productive jobs, and contribute to the well-being of all Venezuelans. This we have achieved thanks to the investment and hard work of all our members, offering top-quality products that have earned the preference and trust of Venezuelans.
We give back to the community wherever we have a presence in the country by creating gainful employment with excellent benefits and by paying our taxes. Furthermore, since our inception, it has been established through our statutes that we support the community through several initiatives to promote key areas: health, education, community development, and sports, among others. It was, at the time, an unprecedented commitment, and we have lived up to it throughout the years, as Venezuelans will acknowledge.
Besides counting on state-of-the-art production plants and the best human resources, one of our main strengths is our commercial system that distributes our products every day to over 189,000 clients across the country.
It's a great effort launched since the beginnings, made possible by our employees at 140 branch offices and subsidiaries. We're proud of this achievement because we're able to serve not only big clients but also small ones, corner grocery stores in the cities as well as in small towns and villages. It's a work done by Venezuelans for Venezuelans, supported by our business philosophy's three fundamental pillars: investment, hard work, and commitment to Venezuela.
This shows that we are part of the solution and we are determined to contribute by all possible means for Venezuelans to have all the products they need, in a timely manner and at affordable prices. Our raison d'être as businessmen is to invest, create jobs, produce, distribute, establish win-win relationships, and bring prosperity to all those involved along the entire value chain.
We believe it's important to encourage domestic production, to value products made in Venezuela, and that's why most of our resources are invested in the country. In 2014 alone, Polar invested over 7.2 billion Bs. in Venezuela.
Over the last two years we started several new plants: for pasteurized yogurt, corn flakes, cachapa mixtures, tea powder, and jello. Furthermore, we expanded our production capacity of PAN flour to 43 million monthly kilos, and of margarine in our plant in Valencia to 2.5 million kilos.
Mr. President, the last time we had the opportunity to meet face to face was two years ago. And then, in 2014, I received your invitation to attend the Peace Conference. I was there to offer my contribution regarding the need for the public and private sectors to join forces, as well as to present 12 economic proposals we believe should be a priority.
We have always been willing to engage in dialogue and to have a fluid, sincere, and respectful communication. We firmly believe the best way to offer solutions to the people regarding the shortages is through the joint efforts of both the state and private enterprise.
We are all Venezuelans who have the same interest: we want the country to move forward and its people to prosper. The best thing that can happen is for all Venezuelans to do well, and the only way to achieve it is by working together for our country.

What Do the CIA Vault 7 Leaks Mean for Your Business?
Vault 7, the WikiLeaks release of CIA cyber intelligence documents, has been one of the biggest news stories of the past month. Now that the dust has settled and the media hype has died down, we can finally go through the leaks in a rational way and understand their real world implications.
What Are the Vault 7 Leaks?
On March 7, WikiLeaks released 8,761 documents from the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence (CCI). Although WikiLeaks did not name their source, the press release states that they believe the documents were being shared in an unauthorized manner by former government hackers.
The leaks contain information about the organization and their practices, including details on a range of the CCI's hardware and software exploits. Julian Assange stated in a press conference that this is just 1% of the leak and that the rest will be published once the relevant vulnerabilities have been patched.
Key Revelations in the CIA Documents
With almost 9,000 pages in this release alone, it's not practical to discuss every aspect of the CIA program in this article. The most important leaks include:
UMBRAGE
Hacking tools were collected and maintained under a CIA group called UMBRAGE. This branch of the CIA focused on forming a library of attack techniques that were originally developed by others, then repurposing them as tools that they could use in their own attacks. The WikiLeaks press release stated that this could help the CIA boost its total number of attacks and also mislead investigators as to who was responsible.
Listening In On Samsung Smart TVs
Code-named 'Weeping Angel', the CIA's ability to listen in on Samsung Smart TVs was one of the biggest revelations when Vault 7 made the news. Fortunately, it's not as bad as some reports made it out to be. 'Weeping Angel' allows the CIA to make the TVs seem like they are off, even though they are actually listening and recording audio. While this is worrying, the exploit only affects the Samsung F8000 series and it requires physical access for it to work.
The leaks mention numerous flaws in iOS software, but a hasty release from Apple stated that many of the vulnerabilities had already been patched in the latest version.
The documents also show a range of vulnerabilities across Android devices. Google made similar assurances within a few days. "We've reviewed the documents and we're confident security updates and protections in both Chrome and Android already shield users from many of the alleged vulnerabilities," said Heather Adkins, a Google spokesperson, in an interview with Wired.
While many of the flaws may have already been patched in the latest Android updates, the fragmentation of Google devices means that many users may still be insecure.
WhatsApp and Signal
The initial press release and subsequent tweets from WikiLeaks were ambiguously worded, which led to them being misinterpreted by much of the press. Many reports were claiming that the CIA had found a way to crack encrypted messaging services like WhatsApp and Signal. The reality is that these services are still secure–WikiLeaks was actually referring to the fact that the CIA is capable of compromising devices and intercepting messages through keyloggers and other means. This is a matter of device security that has nothing to do with the apps themselves.
Other Programs and Devices
The Vault 7 leaks included information for exploiting a wide range of software and hardware. The ones listed above are just a selection of the most interesting and controversial. Don't assume that something is safe, just because it wasn't covered here. The CIA documents also contain exploits for macOS, Windows, Linux, most major web browsers and a range of other technologies.
What Are the Repercussions of the Vault 7 Leaks?
Many people may have found these leaks alarming, especially because of all the media hype around the initial release. The reality is that there isn't much in the leaks that wasn't already known in the security industry. If anything, this news serves as a timely reminder for us to make sure that we are following security best practices–whether its to keep out the government or criminals.
The Vault 7 papers aren't as shocking as the NSA leaks. Most of the exploits covered in these documents can only be used to target individuals, rather than the mass surveillance that was revealed by Edward Snowden. Many of the vulnerabilities have already been patched, while other exploits require physical access to the device.
As far as we can tell from the release, there aren't really any groundbreaking tools in the CIA arsenal. Sure, many of their techniques are out of the scope of your everyday hacker, but this is expected of a well-funded and motivated state body. In a way, this release is just a confirmation of what many in the industry would expect a security agency is capable of.
Spying and warfare have been part of our world since early times. As we become more technologically capable, it is only natural that espionage agencies would gravitate towards using these means to their advantage. With talk of the DNC leaks by Russian hackers dominating the media over the past few months, we all know that governments are using technology to spy on people, so it is unreasonable to think that ours wouldn't be doing the same.
As the CIA is an intelligence agency, it would almost be worrying if they weren't using the kinds of tools in the leaks to intercept information. Whether you trust them to only use these techniques in a legal and ethical manner is a concern that is far outside the scope of this article.
One of the most alarming aspects of these leaks is that the CIA doesn't have the capacity to keep their secrets safe. If these tools have leaked to WikiLeaks then they could also be in the wild, meaning that taxpayer funded cyber weapons could end up being used against citizens. If one of the most secure and secretive agencies in the country can't keep their techniques safe, what does that say about about general data security practices in the government?
How Can You Keep Your Business Keep Safe?
The good thing about the Vault 7 news story is that it has brought information security to the forefront once more. The reality is that security is porous, and with enough time and money, almost anything can be compromised. Good security is about taking the necessary precautions to make breaches impractical and cost prohibitive. Organizations need to use this opportunity to reflect on their current security processes and make sure that they are following best practices.
Keep Everything Updated
Updates can certainly be annoying, but they are a critical part of security. When a new vulnerability is discovered, developers quickly run out a patch to keep their users secure. The sooner a user is running the latest version, the less time hackers have to exploit vulnerabilities.
Apple is renowned for patching security issues within a few days. Complexities in the Android environment make it more difficult for Google to provide security updates, which can leave many users vulnerable. You can read more about the security differences between the two in our article on BYOD security.
Someone Could Be Listening
As dystopian as it may seem, the technology that we all carry around in our pockets has the potential to be recording all of our communications. When it comes to discussing sensitive information, you need to recognize that any space you don't have control over could be set up with a variety of monitoring devices.
These leaks are another reminder that the cameras and mics on our laptops, phones and other electronics can be used to spy on us. Putting tape over your device's cameras when not in use can be a good habit to get into (but what do you do about their microphones)? This will ensure that they cannot be used to monitor your conversations.
Innovative technologies provide new ways for people to listen in on us. The prosecutor in an Arkansas murder case was seeking the recordings from an Amazon Echo smart speaker. Amazon rebuffed the prosecutor's requests on first amendment grounds. Although the suspect granted access to the records under his own volition, the case shows that law enforcement are looking to all kinds of technology for evidence that can be used against us.
Scale Makes You a Target
When Macs weren't very popular, they were rarely targeted in attacks. It was more lucrative for hackers to go after Windows. Exploiting vulnerabilities takes time and money, so attackers generally chase the biggest targets to get the most return on their investment. That's why many exploits in the Vault 7 papers focused on Apple, Windows and Google technologies. Because of this, small, well-trusted vendors like LuxSci can often be more secure than tech giants.
Have a Strong BYOD and Device Security Policy
Bringing devices into the workplace comes with a range of security issues. Make it more difficult for attackers to penetrate your network by having a strong device security policy. This involves dictating which devices can be used as well as which apps can be installed. Your organization's security processes need to incorporate encryption, as well as training against social engineering.
While the Vault 7 leaks may have seemed shocking, if you follow this advice and other security best practices, your organization is less likely to be compromised by any of these complicated exploits. A comprehensive security policy is the best deterrent against invasion, whether it is the CIA or a bored kid in a basement.

By Matthew Piper | the Salt Lake Tribune
· November 7, 2013 7:46 pm
The odds are ever in Hoyt's favor.
Not only was the Utah-based manufacturer chosen to provide Katniss Everdeen's bow in the second, third and fourth installments of the "Hunger Games" movie series, but its Buffalo recurve gets facetime alongside Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence in the first 30 seconds of the "Catching Fire" trailer.
The Buffalo may have its own IMDb page before long. It was also used in "The Avengers" by Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renner, although his fancy firing is pure CGI and Lawrence is "the real deal," says engineer George Tekmitchov. "She actually knows how to shoot."
Tekmitchov worked for Hoyt for 12 years before transferring to fellow Jas D. Easton Inc. subsidiary Easton, which is also based in Salt Lake City and manufactures Everdeen's Easton X7 Cobalt arrows. He says Lawrence will shoot the Buffalo in "Catching Fire," to be released Nov. 22, and in parts one and two of "Mockingjay," the final book of Suzanne Collins' best-selling series, due out in November 2014 and 2015.
Lawrence was trained for the first "Hunger Games" movie on a wooden bow by five-time Olympian Khatuna Lorig, who backed up Tekmitchov's assessment in an email to The Tribune. "It was fun to work with her, she was very excited to shoot arrows."
Pleasant View resident Denise Parker was a real-life Katniss, minus the dystopian hardship and revolutionary bloodbaths.
At 14, Parker was vaulted into the media spotlight at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, winning team bronze and spearing a Lifesaver from 15 yards on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson.
Now the CEO of USA Archery, Parker says that although her introduction to the sport was more traditional — shooting at the range with her bow-hunting father — she's happy to share her love with young people who may be inspired by Katniss, Hawkeye and the title character in TV's "Arrow." Or, even better: Merida from Pixar's "Brave," who demonstrates correct shooting technique.
"They did the breathing, and then the slow motion of the string coming off her fingers, and her fingers and hands coming back, and it was perfect," Parker says. "If you were to draw up archery form, it would have been exactly what she was doing."
Membership in USA Archery has increased 48 percent in the 18 months since the first "Hunger Games" movie, with more than a 30 percent increase in competition entrants. The organization has teamed with the Archery Trade Association to capitalize on the serendipitous momentum with a recently launched marketing campaign titled "Release Your Wild."
"Kids connected with the character of Katniss Everdeen," said USA Archery spokeswoman Teresa Johnson. "They connected with how authentic she was, and they connected with archery because of it."
Parker says the clientele at local archery ranges has changed considerably. In addition to the usual suspects — competitive archers and hunters — people are taking aim on dates and in birthday parties.
Tekmitchov says the recurve bow has become particularly popular not only because of "The Avengers" and "Hunger Games," but because it's the bow used in the Olympics. And it's just plain sexier than its sibling, the compound.
"The relative simplicity of a traditional recurve bow like the one in the film are attractive to people because the curves are easy on the eye," he says.
But Panem is no county fair. Wouldn't Katniss want a hunting bow? Not necessarily.
A compound bow uses a pulley system that generates more power and allows an archer to sustain a full draw for a long time, ideal when you are crouched behind some brush waiting for an elk to amble into your kill zone. But Tekmitchov says he can shoot four times as many arrows in a given period of time with a recurve.
"Time is everything," he says. "If you're really in a life-or-death situation, you want a recurve bow."
You can have Katniss's bow, though such usage is not advised. Hoyt currently offers the very same setup: a Buffalo with black limbs and a silver riser, or grip.

Jeremy Irons Helps Free the Human Spirit
6/1/07 – 2:12 PM
By Adam Gonshor
(www.andPOP.com) – The man behind bars for life isn't much different than Jeremy Irons, the English actor explains.
Irons was putting together a charity event at a prison in England recently and was speaking with one of the inmates.
The prisoner explained that he had been arguing with his girlfriend in the kitchen when he saw a knife lying nearby. He picked it up, the knife went through her heart, and he'll be spending the rest of his life behind bars.
"And I thought, anybody could have done that," Irons tells andPOP. "And now this man's life was ruined. I realized that so easily could have been me in there. There is no difference. We tend to think of prisoners as people totally different than us and we throw away the key, when in fact in many cases, these are people who just got it wrong because of anger, or lack of education, or frustration."
One way prisoners can deal with their anger and stay out of jail once they are released, Irons explains, is through yoga and meditation.
Seems far-fetched – both that the spiritual practice can help prisoners transform themselves into better citizens, and that the assessment is coming from an Oscar-, Emmy- and Tony-winning actor.
But Irons knows what he's talking about.
For many years, Irons has been a proponent of Freeing the Human Spirit, a program started by Sister Elaine MacInnes, who has been teaching meditation in prisons since 1980.
They had met when MacInnes – who was appointed an office of the Order of Canada in 1999 – was living in England. Irons continued helping whenever he could when she moved to Toronto.
"It's very tough to say I want to put meditation and yoga into your prison," Irons says, "but she's a determined woman."
Her determination has paid off. The Freeing the Human Spirit program has been accepted in 27 prisons in Canada and is being practiced in 14.
The goal is to lower the likelihood of reoffenders. "What this is planned to do is to break that cycle so that when prisoners leave, they have a sense of their own worth, their own individuality, their own being," says Irons, known for his roles in Eragon, the Merchant of Venice, The Man in the Iron Mask and Die Hard 3 and as the voice of Scar in the Lion King.
And while there aren't many costs involved with the program, there are some, which is why Irons will be in Toronto on Monday (June 4) for a fundraiser at the Jane Mallett Theatre (visit freeingspirit.com for ticket info). Kate McGarrigle, the legendary folk singer and mother of Rufus Wainwright, will perform.
What can people expect once Irons takes the stage?
"I don't know," he says. "Hopefully we'll get something together."
Further pushing reveals that Irons plans to do some readings and poetry. "I'm almost as excited to see what we're going to do as you are."
It can be unsettling to some to know that if a celebrity doesn't attach themselves to a charity or cause like this, it may go unnoticed, or not noticed as much. If Al Gore wasn't so passionate about the environment, global warming wouldn't be as highly spoken about. If Irons didn't take time to speak about Freeing the Human Spirit, perhaps it too would suffer.
It's just the nature of charity, Irons says.
"There are so many people doing good work in the world," he says. "But you have to raise funds. It's just something I'm able to do because of my position and I'm delighted to do it. I've been very fortunate. I had a great upbringing and I have a career I love. Things have been easy for me. And for a lot of people they haven't been easy so this is something that gives me great pleasure to be able to give back at least a little something."
And maybe the cause he's fighting for now can improve his life a little bit, too.
"[Sister Elaine] is always telling me I should [meditate and do yoga] regularly because it would stop me from smoking so much and it's a great antidote to the pressures in my life but I have yet to get into the daily practice of it," Irons says. "One day I will grow the wisdom to do so."
Jeremy Irons lends support to prison yoga program
Updated Mon. Jun. 4 2007 11:00 AM ET
CTV.ca News Staff
Actor Jeremy Irons says his work as an actor enabled him to connect with the prisoners he wants to help as part of a program that encourages inmates to meditate and practice yoga.
"I live on the edge," Irons told CTV's Canada AM. "I play characters who live on the edge and I like that. I'm very aware that it's a very thin line between being inside jail and being outside jail."
The actor is involved in Freeing the Human Spirit, a program that helps prisoners deal with their anger and stay out of jail through the practice of yoga and meditation.
Irons — who has won an Oscar, an Emmy, a Golden Globe and a Tony — became involved with the program through 83-year-old Moncton, N.B.-born Catholic nun and Zen master Elaine MacInnes.
MacInnes has been teaching meditation to prisoners since 1980. She received the Order of Canada in 1999 for her work in the area.
According to The Globe and Mail, Irons met MacInnes while she was living in England in the mid-nineties while he was taking one of her Zen classes.
"She's an extraordinary woman," Irons told The Globe. "Sadly, she's now 80-something, although you wouldn't know it.
"I wish she was 30-something because she has so much to give to life. I've only met four or five amazing people in my life, and she is one."
Irons has been involved as a hands-on participant with the Freeing the Human Spirit program for the past 12 years. The Freeing the Human Spirit organization and some prisons are located near his Oxford home.
"The idea is not only to help prisoners while they're in prison, but to prepare them for when they get out," Irons told Canada AM. "Because when they get out, they haven't got a house, they haven't got a job, their wife's probably left them.
"It's tough and unless you've got some sort of calm and centre for yourself, it's really difficult not to reoffend and go back in. So, it seemed to me to be a fantastic organization."
The program has been running in Canada for around four years, according to Irons. It is accepted in 27 prisons in the country and is currently being practiced in 14 correctional facilities. The program can make a genuine difference in the lives of the incarcerated, Irons said.
"When you're banged up in prison, as Paris (Hilton) will find out, I suppose, you're stuck in a cell on your own, a very negative experience," Irons told Canada AM. "But if you can turn that cell into an ashram, if you can learn to meditate and do yoga, exercise your mind and exercise your body — then it becomes a positive experience."

SIBEC Site Index Estimates BC Ministry of Forests and Range - Forest Science Program
Abstract: Program - Timber Growth and Value Program Theme - Growth and yield modeling/predictions Topic - Complex stands (in the continued development of the SIBEC model) The term SIBEC refers to the project (EP1215) initiated in 1994 to examine the relationship between forest growth and site units in the Biogeoclimatic Ecosystem Classification (BEC) system. Research studies have reported strong relationships between site index and environmental factors such as soil moisture and nutrient regimes. Using these relationships, one can assign a site index that reflects the potential productivity of a given species to a site that has been classified to BEC site series. The SIBEC estimates of site index are used to support forest management in areas such as Timber Supply Review and strategic silviculture strategies. This multi-year project will address the FIA Forest Science Program strategic goal of improving knowledge-based science in support of improving timber growth and value. SIBEC estimates are being increasingly used in forest management units in British Columbia, such as Innovative Forest Practices Agreements (IFPA) and Defined Forest Area Management (DFAM) undertaking ecologically based timber supply analyses. However, a large proportion of the SIBEC model is still based on first approximation estimates reported in site index classes (B.C. Ministry of Forests 1997). Additional data is required for priority BEC site series to achieve a second generation estimate that reports mean site index and standard error (Mah and Nigh 2003; B.C. Ministry of Forests 2003). The purpose of the project is to sample in priority BEC site series in the Northern Interior Forest Region to support continued development of the SIBEC model. In 2005, priority sampling will include complex stands in the ICH subzone/variants in the western portion of the region. Data collected in 2005, as with data from 2004 will be incorporated into the SIBEC data warehouse, followed by analysis. The new provincial site index estimates will be released as a report, 'Site index estimates by site series: report by Biogeoclimatic unit (2006 approximation) and made available on the SIBEC website: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/sibec in PDF and EXCEL formats.

Find Out How These Celebrities Invest Their Hard-earned Money Wisely!
Rich & Famous December 28, 2019
When we think about how to get rich, the first thing that comes to our mind is to become a celebrity. Most celebrities gain massive wealth from their back-to-back tv shows, movies, albums, projects, and endorsements. It's as if their lives become easier and money is not a big deal when they have endless projects to work on once they became famous. But contrary to popular belief, not all celebrities who get rich ended up staying rich.
According to some reliable sources, some celebrities often get blinded by their massive wealth and spend their money buying unnecessary things like expensive homes and sports cars that don't always have significant returns or their value declines over the years.
Fortunately, we have a lost of celebrities who value the importance of their hard-earned money and wealth, so they make sure to invest it in the right platform. Let's find out how these celebrities let their money grow further while working!
The renowned musician Sean "Diddy" Combs currently has an astounding $1 billion net worth not just from his music but also in entrepreneurship. Diddy recently inked a partnership with a giant liquor company Diageo where Diddy offered his marketing influence to promote Ciroc vodka in exchange for a profit share.
Forbes hailed Diddy as the second-richest hip-hop musician in the world in 2018.
This partnership flourished as Ciroc vodka became one of the biggest and most popular vodka drink in the alcoholic beverage market. This phenomenal success also paved the way for another joint venture to release its latest DeLeon tequila brand. Not only that, but Diddy also has other business ventures like a clothing brand. He's also the largest stakeholder of the Revolt TV network.
While most celebrities don't enter the real-estate game unless they want to buy their own personal properties, Ellen DeGeneres is the queen in this field. The daytime TV queen became one of the most successful home-flippers in Hollywood.
She admits at first she never thought of selling the properties she bought. But together with her wife Portia de Rossi, they renovated several homes together until they decided to start selling it. Since their first successful venture, the couple has owned and sold more than 12 properties of diverse styles and sizes.
Ellen's most notable home-flipped property was a mansion that cost an astounding $40 million, where she earned a $15 million profit out of it.
The Time Magazine hailed George Clooney as one of the most influential men in the world in 2009 due to his numerous great contributions and breakthroughs.
If there's a pro when it comes to promoting branded liquors, it'd be George Clooney. The veteran actor first started concocting Casamigos tequila brand for his friends when Diageo took interest and acquired the brand for an astounding $1 billion deal. This paved the way towards creating the multi-billion-dollar company they have today. Aside from that, Clooney also excels in other fields like businesses and filmmaking.
Since becoming a mother to her two gorgeous young daughters, Jessica launched Honest Company last 2012 to sell organic baby products like body lotion, laundry detergent, and baby wipes to target the ethical and eco-friendly minded customers. Despite the initial legal and PR issues they faced, Jessica's company have grown and they earned hundreds of millions in terms of profit and annual sales.
Kutcher's biggest break came when he starred in That 70's Show which aired from 1998-2006.
Ever since the renowned American actor starred in the long-running TV series That 70's Show, Kutcher's acting career continued to soar. As his wealth continues to accumulate, Kutcher also entered the world of investing to make his money grow further.
He ventured into the tech industry and partnered with Guy Oseary to forge an alliance and establish A-Grade Investments together with the billionaire tycoon Ron Burkle. Together, they turned their $30 million investment into an astounding $250 million as they backed large tech companies in Silicon Valley like Airbnb and Uber.
Nasir Jones may have long passed his rap throne and baton to aspiring younger talents but the renowned rapper has accumulated enough wealth to become an investor just like Kutcher in the tech world. He launched Queensbridge Venture Partner capital firm that caters investments for music production and healthcare. Among its notable products include Coinbase, Dropbox, and Lyft.

Have you recently been arrested for driving under the influence? Are you concerned about such an offense carrying with it a permanent criminal record and seriously affecting your financial security? You need an experienced team of DUI lawyers in Toronto to defend you!
In Toronto, drinking and driving is a very serious offense. If you are arrested and convicted, the offense will go on your permanent criminal record forever. In many cases, having a charge like a DUI on your record can have a serious effect on your ability to find employment.
By seeking an expert impaired driving lawyer in Toronto, you will be forging a partnership with a Toronto DUI lawyer who has experience with drunk driving and DUI offenses. You will also find yourself working with a Toronto impaired driving lawyer who is extremely well versed and knowledgeable when it comes to finding the DUI defense strategy that will be most effective in your case.
A DUI in Toronto can become a serious hassle. A conviction will result in major fines and a suspension of your driver's license, along with the fact that you will now carry a criminal record with you wherever you go. You will be forced to complete a very costly and time extensive course called "Back on Track". This course costs $578 and takes up to ten months to complete.
Many who are charged with a DUI offense make the mistake of waiting too long to seek the help of a team of Toronto impaired driving lawyers. In doing so, many people find that evidence that could have been useful in their case has either been lost or compromised. To prevent this from happening, you need to find a DUI lawyer in Toronto that will remain diligent at your side throughout your case.
Some drivers face a costly upgrade to their insurance policy if they are convicted of a DUI offense. Facilities insurance, as it is known, often carries extremely expensive premiums, which can start from anywhere between $5,000 and $15,000 per year. Most of these insurance plans last at least three to five years.
The simple fact of the matter is that having an experienced team of impaired driving lawyers in Toronto on your side will significantly decrease the likelihood that you are convicted. But what qualities should you look for in a Toronto DUI lawyer?
You shouldn't work with just any old lawyer to defend your case! You need the assistance of an entire team of Toronto impaired driving lawyers that specialize in DUI, impaired driving, refusal to blow, and over 80 defenses.
If you have recently been arrested and charged with a DUI offense, don't just sit back and wait for the consequences! Protect yourself and your financial security by employing the services of a professional team of Toronto DUI lawyers!
What I can say, Graham Zoppi saved me a lot of money during my case. One of the best defence lawyers I can depend on. When I was caught drinking and driving I turned to Zoppi and I don't know how but he won my case. I will always contact Graham Zoppi if I ever get myself into any trouble. I highly recommend him.

I am a 57 year old tax and legal expert. As a professional, I consider myself a well-disciplined businessman. However, for the past 20 years the discipline I brought to the workplace did not carry over to managing my weight.
In fact, several of my family members are also struggling with health issues as result of being overweight. I recently lost a younger sister to obesity-related illnesses and an older sister remains in a coma today. What a wakeup call for me! I knew I had to take immediate steps to lower my blood pressure and lose weight in order to save my life.
I weighed 257 lbs with 3 rolls of fat around my stomach when I started Encore's Peak Performance in October. Three months later I am thrilled to report that I have lost 31 lbs. I have one stomach now and my high-blood pressure is under control. Success for me also includes the support I receive from Encore Counselors who hold me accountable. I do not want to disappoint them. They help me select the right foods when I eat out – which is frequent due to my busy schedule. I have referred several colleagues and friends to Encore. I believe a referral to Encore is a gift of life.

U.S. - INDONESIA AVIATION WORKING GROUP PROGRAM
The Indonesia aviation industry continues to grow and develop. In August 2016, Indonesia regained Category One status with the FAA, opening up the opportunity for future direct flights between the United States and Indonesia. In the meantime, President Jokowi is emphasizing economic and tourism growth outside of Java leading to commercial aviation growth domestically. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), by 2034 it is expected to be the sixth largest market for air travel. By then some 270 million passengers are expected to fly to, from and within the country, three times the size of today's market. IATA also predicts that this year Indonesia global air cargo volume will grow 4.5 percent to 53.5 million tons, up slightly from last year's 4.3 percent growth. This growth will create demand for products in all commercial aviation subsectors, including aircraft and spare parts, maintenance, airport design, engineering, and construction, air traffic management equipment and consulting and aviation security equipment.
In the last few months, the leadership in Indonesia aviation sector was dynamic. Former President Director of State Owned Enterprise Angkasa Pura II (AP II) Mr. Budi Karya was appointed as Minister of Transportation which caused a change of leadership in the agency. Similarly, AP1 and AirNav have new President Directors. Thus, please consider participating in the AWG to make vital contacts, learn the latest trends and maintain your companies' high profile in this promising market.

Background on the Aviation Working Group Program
On April 20, 2015, with the support of the U.S. Commerce Department and the FAA, Minister of Transportation Ignatius Jonan and U.S. Ambassador Robert O. Blake signed an MOU to officially commence establishment of the U.S. – Indonesia Aviation Working Group. The AWG provides a platform for the U.S. government and companies to engage with Indonesian aviation stakeholders from government agencies, state-owned enterprises, and the private sector in order to share best practices from around the world, and to propose and provide innovative solutions and services to support the growth of the Indonesian aviation sector.
The AWG's activities focus on policy and technical issues facing the Indonesian aviation sector that include:
Air Traffic Management Modernization
Aviation Safety and Security
Development and Growth of Aviation Support Services
Airspace and Airport Capacity Analysis, Development, and Planning
General Aviation Access and Integration
Below are several activities under the auspices of the U.S.-Indonesia Aviation Working Group:
U.S. Industry Day: On June 9, 2015, Minister Jonan and his aviation leadership team hosted a "U.S. Industry Day" to launch the U.S.-Indonesia Aviation Working Group Program. More than 100 U.S. and Indonesian aviation stakeholders attended, creating a solid foundation for continued engagement under the AWG to provide opportunities for U.S. suppliers and to help support the growth of the Indonesian aviation sector.
Air Traffic Management Workshop: On September 16, 2015, the U.S. Embassy Commercial Section held an Air Traffic Management Workshop in partnership with AirNav Indonesia. Over 70 attendees from the U.S. and Indonesian governments and private sector participated in discussions on air traffic management needs, priorities, and plans of Indonesia. AirNav President Director delivered opening remarks. The FAA and MITRE shared U.S. best practices and lessons learned, while some U.S. companies provided presentations on their technologies and capabilities for improved air traffic control and management. (MITRE is a U.S. federally funded research institution that also provides its technical expertise internationally when requested and approved by the FAA.)
Aviation Security Seminar: On January 21, 2016, more than 80 participants representing the Indonesian government, Indonesian airlines and airport operators, and U.S. aviation industry participated in a seminar. Organized by the U.S. Embassy Jakarta, the regional U.S. Transportation Security Administration office in Singapore, and the Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGCA), the event focused on Indonesia's efforts to improve security at airports, airlines, and other aviation installations around the country, and U.S. security solutions available for the Indonesian market.
Aviation Working Group Industry Day: On June 2, 2016, Minister Jonan hosted a comprehensive AWG program update, which included Indonesian airport operators, airlines, and AirNav. We chose the themes of safety, training, and maintenance needs in order to help Indonesia prepare for its aviation future. In addition, Ambassador Blake hosted a networking reception for AWG participants.
U.S.-Indonesia AWG: On January 17, 2017, Minister Budi Karya hosted an event to hear Ministry's priorities and those of related organizations such as AirNav, AP1 and AP2. The FAA presented on what they are doing in the region to support upgrading of air traffic management. Key people in the Indonesian MoT, airport operators and airlines attended the event. Ambassador Joseph R. Donovan hosted a networking reception at his residence afterwards.
USTDA-sponsored Reverse Trade Mission (RTM): On February 27-March 10, 2017, we arranged a visit to the U.S. for Government of Indonesia and SOE delegates from the Indonesian aviation sector to meet with U.S. technology and service providers, end-users, and counterparts such as the FAA. The RTM had two tracks: one focused on air traffic management/air traffic control and one focused on airport infrastructure and security.

Description: The Cabrito de Barroso IGP meat comes from kids of the Serrana and Bravia breeds, and their crossings, raised and slaughtered within the region. It is reddish meat, very juicy and with a distinctive flavor. Commercially, Cabrito de Barroso IGP can be presented in carcasses or half carcasses. The carcass includes the head, liver, lungs, heart and kidneys. Cabrito de Barroso IGP can only be sold in licensed establishments.
Production method: The animals are raised in extensive farming conditions, essentially in free grazing. In the dead of winter the animals can be occasionally stabled, being then fed only hay, birch or willow leaves and dried ferns. The kids are mainly fed on maternal milk. They are slaughtered at the age of three months, remaining until then with their mothers.
Special features: The specificity of the Cabrito de Barroso PGI derives essentially from the way it is created and fed, in harmony with the local natural resources. The kid is part of the culture and gastronomy of the region. According to Father John Martins Rodrigues, "the kid, being also for sale, is a rare and luxurious delicacy. It is prepared for special celebrations: baptisms, weddings, patron saint festivities, or when receiving the priest, guards, friends from the village and lords from the neighborhood".
Production area: The Cabrito de Barroso IGP production área – roughly 2150Km2 – encompasses the municipalities of Boticas, Chaves, Montalegre and Vila Pouca de Aguiar.
History: The Terras do Barroso has a long tradition in goat rearing, with a cooperative system of production deeply rooted in the traditional know‑how of the northern mountainous areas. This rearing takes advantage, since ancient times, of the remote mountain's native flora, generally inaccessible to other livestock species. Although there are historical accounts of the existence of a Barrosã breed, migration flows and changes in livestock lead to its disappearance and replacement by the Bravia and Serrana breeds.

Both Halsey and Ariana Grande miss out on the 'Midsommar' May Queen dress
AMA/Image Group LA
AMA/Image Group LALast month, both Halsey and Ariana Grande said online that they were interested in bidding on a very special movie costume: the over-the-top May Queen dress, made of 10,000 silk flowers, worn by Florence Pugh in the horror flick Midsommar. Sadly, neither of the pop stars managed to snag the item.
As Buzzfeed reports, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures scored the dress for $65,000. All proceeds from the auction went to the FDNY Foundation, which is helping with COVID-19 relief efforts in New York City.
As previously reported, Ari, who expressed her love for Midsommar last year, posted a message on her Instagram Story that she wrote to Florence Pugh, saying, "i'm crying/ also I'm bidding as soon as possible." To which Florence responded, "DO IT! Halloween will never be the same." To which Ariana replied, "I WAS ALREADY PLANNING TO HAVE IT MADE ANYWAY BYE."
Florence responded, "It even has hand holes for wine," and Ariana replied, simply, "HELP ME."
Meanwhile, Halsey tweeted a GIF of Pugh in the movie, crying, and wrote, "me, to myself: don't bid for the midsommar may queen outfit dont bid for the midsommar may queen outfit…"
Since Ari didn't win, looks like she'll have to go ahead with her original plans to have a copy of the dress made for herself for Halloween.
We're excited to share our newest acquisition, the May Queen gown made of 10,000 silk flowers from the film MIDSOMMAR (2019), written and directed by @AriAster and starring @Florence_Pugh. 100% of #A24Auctions proceeds go to @FDNYFoundation @A24 pic.twitter.com/tNU6okYnad

How Much Does a Tile Countertop Cost?
Ceramic and porcelain tile are economical and popular choices for both kitchen and bathroom countertops.
For information about granite tile countertops, see How Much Does a Granite Countertop Cost. For information about how much other stone tile countertops cost, see How Much Does a Stone Countertop Cost.
Ceramic tile countertops cost $1-$225 per square foot; that is, $30-$6,750 for a typical kitchen with 30 square feet of counter space. Installation is not typically included in the price of ceramic or porcelain tiles.
Most glazed ceramic tile costs $1-$30 per square foot, that is $30-$900 for a typical kitchen. Ceramic tiles are sold by home improvement stores such as Home Depot and Lowe's , usually in cases that contain several square feet of tile each. Ceramic tiles are also sold at kitchen and bath specialty stores.
Handcrafted, hand-painted artisanal tiles cost $30-$225 per square foot, or $900-$7,650 for a typical kitchen. Large online retailers like Amazon sell a wide variety of colorful tiles; many local artists across the country also make decorative tiles suitable for countertops and backsplashes.
Professional installation of a tile countertop costs about $35-$40 per square foot, making it $1,050-$1,200 for a typical kitchen, including materials and labor, using inexpensive glazed ceramic tiles. Inlays and custom cutting tiles in unusual shapes costs extra.
Most ceramic and porcelain tiles are sold in cases that include 6-8 tiles. Cases of tile do not include any of the materials needed to install them.
Installation of a tile countertop should include a professional pre-installation measurement, preparation of the counters (including leveling and shimming, and insulation near stovetop if required), laying the tile, sealing the grout, cleanup, and final inspection.
For DIY tile countertop installation, the plywood, grout, sealant, and tools all cost extra. These items are sold at hardware stores like Ace Hardware and home improvement stores like Home Depot . Expect to pay $5-$40 for grout depending on the amount you need, about $30 for sealant, and $10-$20 for plywood. Tile cutting saws cost $100-$600; replacement blades cost $5-$20 each.
Ceramic tile can be laid on an existing countertop by a DIYer in about a weekend, saving the cost of professional installation. HGTV describes how to install tile countertops.
Home improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowe's occasionally offer special discounts on tiles and construction materials. Check their weekly ad pages for possible discounts.
Before beginning to price tile countertops, measure the countertop area. Home Depot provides a worksheet to help calculate the measurements. The installer or contractor will do an official measurement later, but a good estimate can give a rough sense of the costs.
Choose what kind of tile will work best. BobVila.com describes the differences between ceramic and porcelain tiles. And HGTV.com has tips from Ann Sacks on evaluating your needs and wants, then shopping for tile.
Consider how heavily the countertops will be used before deciding on the size and style of tiles. Hand-painted or mosaic artisanal tiles can be severely damaged if they're placed in the middle of a heavily used kitchen countertop. Larger tiles mean fewer seams, but large tiles may cost more than smaller tiles in a similar style, and more of the large tiles will need to be cut to fit into tight spaces.
The National Tile Contractor Association (NTCA) is a nonprofit contractor's association that offers a members locator and a buyers guide to assist homeowners in selecting a reputable tile installer.
