Today's sample comes from the second book of the Fringe Killer series. This book, Gothica, takes a turn for the paranormal and pits Jamie and Skip up against a ghost from the past.
.30.
THE REGULARS of Gothica dressed like death. They reveled in darkness and spoke, ad nauseum, of the creature nocturnus. But when death looked them in the eye, and nearly spoke each of their names, they secretly went fetal.
Then, the report came to them that the prime suspect had been caught. When this information was leaked, the Goth community breathed a collective sigh of relief. It was just in time. The month was October, and it was nearing the night-of-nights for the death-kiddies—Halloween.
October 31st was a night custom—made for the Gothica crowd. And they knew how to get the most out of the one night of the year they could be who they were without turning cheek after cheek to avoid a brawl.
October 31st was but a few days away, and the kids always took it upon themselves to festive-up the club for the holiday. This year the theme was Monster A Go-Go, which begged for high camp.
A group of the regulars were meeting to start the decorating of the club. Sitting around the dance floor were Gwen, CrowBoy, SpyderGirl, PiercedOne, KitKat, Johnny, Dave, and Evilbob. Each was working on one piece of decoration. Their plan was to turn the main dance floor into what would be the graveyard set from Plan 9 from Outer Space. The movie was a favorite of the group, and it was unanimously decided that the worst movie ever made would be the perfect haunt for the night-of-nights. And, the owner spared no expense to this end.
To achieve the graveyard look, the dance floor had been covered with actual sod and what looked like a couple of freshly-dug graves. Currently, the black pack were carving names on gravestones.
"Come on, you guys, you have to let me make Spookee a stone!" Bob complained but was answered with a barrage of tape-balls, shoes, and groans.
"None of us mind a little gallows humor now and then, but I think we have to draw the line with that creep." SpyderGirl chimed in.
"I'm just glad to finally be rid of that jackass. He creeped my shit out."
"Gwen, everything creeps your shit out." Evilbob tossed Gwen's shoe back at her.
From the DJ booth, SpyderGirl began sampling some of the delights she had planned for Halloween. She started out with Vampir Song by Umbra et Imago which brought a giddy KitKat to her feet dancing. The song opened with a tribute to the attack of a vampire on a hapless victim. Footsteps. Heartbeat. Bats. Wind. And then, the ever-popular artificial organ sound popularized in the eighties. The voice, in German, eventually joined the cacophony with a screeching attempt at melody. Dave joined KitKat in her dance, and the two lost all thought and perspective within each other.
SpyderGirl left the song playing but dropped the volume to a level that would allow discussion among the group. She rejoined those on the floor.
"I actually went to church on Sunday," KitKat confessed.
Every activity in the room ceased, and all eyes fell on the skinny, milk-skinned KitKat. KitKat looked around and shrugged. The music skipped a beat and launched into a Concrete Blonde cover of the old Leonard Cohen song, Everybody Knows. The humor was not lost on a single soul as the group collectively broke out into howls of laughter.
It wasn't until Evilbob stood that the laughing subsided. "Church? My dear, you know as well as I do that church is nothing more than a means of goading the unwashed masses into complacency. It's a morality check, a way to keep as many people following the straight and narrow as possible."
Some groans were heard from the floor. Evilbob was prone to outbursts about organized religion. Most had heard his diatribe more than they cared to confess. But generally, everyone let him sound off because the consensus was that he was dead on.
Evilbob faced the crowd. "Church is not a vehicle for religious purposes. Church is a tool for the government to keep us from knowing the truth, and the truth of that matter is this is it; there is nothing more. Once you die, you're gone. But if everyone truly believed that, this world would be utter chaos. You think the hatred in Iraq is bad now? Imagine it without the bonds of religious fervor."
"Bob, you git, it's because of religion that there is so much hate in Iraq." KitKat gave him a playful shove. "Without their religious fervor, they wouldn't have a spiteful God telling them to massacre the infidels."
Evilbob was met with a chorus of "sit down and shut up." He took them in stride and laughed as he sat back down to the work at hand.
As Dave was working, he felt something tugging at his mind. He couldn't place the sensation but felt something he hadn't in quite a while—longing. At first, he attributed it to either the rumbling of the bass or the religious rhetoric of Evilbob. Dave was always fond of a heated discussion. But this feeling was far more than catechism and Six Flags over Jesus. What was going on inside Dave's heart was haunting and profound. He couldn't deny the feeling. Pulling. Taunting. Begging.
Dave focused his eyes on the gravestone he was sculpting. He tried to force his mind to follow suit, but to no avail. The niggling in his chest grew louder. The feeling toyed with him. The feeling played with him.
Dave loved a good game of cat and mouse.
As he worked on the tombstone, he focused his attention, not on the work at hand, but on the kernel of mystery. What he found was soothing.
"Done." Exclaimed Gwen as she held aloft a Tombstone reading CONFORMITY. Everyone laughed and lauded her wit.
"Thank you, thank you. And now for my next trick… Where're the other blank gravestones?"
"I think they're down in the basement." KitKat spoke over her shoulder as she ran to the DJ booth to change the tunes.
When Dave heard KitKat's declaration, everything instantly clicked. An irresistible force called to Dave from below. He felt as if there was a hand reaching through the floorboards, tugging at his shirt. Dave stood and informed Gwen that he would retrieve the blank gravestones for anyone needing them.
The hand count was three, and Dave was off to sate his curiosity.
The door to the basement was unlocked and swung open with a delicious creak. The sound reminded him of the old Sammy Terry horror series he used to watch while growing up in Indiana. The television show starred a charming old man in ghoulish white-face and his pet rubber spider, George. He remembered the opening of the show as spoken by a ghostly whisper: "In the dead of night, when the moon is high, and the ill winds blow, and the banshees cry, and the moonlight casts an unearthly glow…arise my love, with tales of woe!"
Dave's hand felt around the walls for a source of light, but found none.
"You'll need this." The voice sneaked up behind him and scared a year off his life. His heartbeat, already racing, doubled in time.
A large flashlight seemed to appear from thin air, until he realized that KitKat was the offering hand.
"What's wrong Davie, afraid of a wittle darkness? Is everyone's favorite ghoul boy about to pee his panties?"
"I distinctly remember a time when you liked this ghoul boy peeing in your panties."
KitKat leaned over and bit Dave on the neck. "No, I just liked it when you wore my panties."
"That makes two of us, kitten."
KitKat purred as she walked away from the aroused Dave.
But even the momentary jaunt down libido lane couldn't distract him from what lay hidden in the darkness below.
The flashlight cut sharply through the musty dark. Dave thought again of Sammy Terry and how the basement of Gothic reminded him of the set from the seventies horror shock-show. He hoped he'd get to the bottom and hear that creepiest of laughs as the man himself, Sammy Terry, rose from his casket to announce the horror du nuit.
The second his foot hit dirt, the door at the top of the stairs slowly swept closed. He let out a laugh at KitKat's lame attempt to scare him. He thought she knew better than to believe that locking him in the basement of death would get a rise from him.
As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, Dave swung the beam of light around the room. His heart momentarily stopped when he saw the light flash across a zombie-like face staring back at him from a corner of the room. He shot the light back to the corner, but there was nothing.
Dave always took pride in his lack of fear. Now, something stirred inside of him and begged to question that lack. He held the light in the corner a little longer. Something was there—a pair of vacuous, lifeless eyes.
He finally shook it off as some throwback to his previous thoughts of horror television. Dave let out a barely audible laugh followed by an deep sigh.
Of all the things I lost, I miss my mind the most. His racing mind thought and tried to attribute an author to the quote. The only name he could conjure was Ozzy Osbourne.
His head bumped into something. The fear nearly dropped him to his knees. Then, he realized it was a light bulb dangling helplessly in the center of the room. His breath was coming in ragged pants from the jumpstart his heart was getting over and over again.
He reached out his hand, grasped the pull-cord, and gave a gentle tug. The bulb came to life with a dim glow.
And standing where he had only moments ago concluded there was nothing was a man. Or at least, it seemed there was a man. What it really looked like was a man as seen through a fuzzy, black-and-white, snow-filled television. The man was dressed in old prison clothes as if he had jumped from the celluloid of an old prison escape film.
The air in the room was menacingly still. The entire room stood frozen in time, all but Dave's heart which beat like the drum track from a Nine Inch Nails anthem.
For an instant, the man's image seemed to fizzle out. Dave closed and opened his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. Just another bad trip. He started to chuckle to himself. But, as quickly as the image had faded, it reappeared.
Only this time, it moved.
The man's movements were strobe-light jerky. He appeared to be was walking toward Dave. Dave's mind willed his legs to flee, but he was caught up in some sick fascination with the thing.
Run, he thought to himself, but his legs would not comply. He was transfixed, rooted in the center of the room as the black-and-white man slowly stalked closer.
Dave felt a warm sensation easing down his leg. His fear had such a tight grip on his heart, he didn't even realize until it was too late that he was pissing himself.
The strobe light brought the man closer and closer. As the man drew near, the image was overcome by clarity. The snow faded, and color washed over the skin and cloth.
Dave remained rooted. Fear boiled up in his esophagus pushing vomit through his mouth and down onto his chest. He wanted so badly to run, but his feet remained planted.
The man smiled and blood poured from his mouth onto his chin. They were face to face. The man's breath smelled of blood and decay. His eyes were all pupil. Veins stood out prominently in his forehead.
"The bogeymen are here."
Whispered sounds seemed to emanate from the center of Dave's brain.
"…here to keep you safe."
"…from the other ones."
"….from the evil ones."
The voices began to meld into a confused mess as the man began to slowly cut away at Dave's clothing with a scalpel. The man was careful to cut only the clothing.
I'm going to be raped. The thought flashed through the motionless young man.
After the mystery man sliced through Dave's thong underwear, he raised his hands showing thick, aged rope. Dave felt himself being tied up but could do nothing to resist. The rope scratched against his bare skin like sandpaper. He knew the sane thing to do would be to scream to his friends above. He knew that something was going terribly wrong. But he had no control over his faculties.
The rope was wrapped tightly around his waist, binding his arms to his sides. The next lashing came around his ankles. His legs were firmly locked together. The last bit of hemp was forced into Dave's mouth. It tasted like rot. He tried to expel the rope from his mouth but couldn't. And, after he tried, the man pulled the rope tighter around his head.
"Welcome to The Deep."
"Welcome to the Bogeymen."
The voices sang in joyous rapture.
The man lifted his arm slowly until his hand was in front of Dave's face. Gripped tightly in a white-knuckled fist was the ancient-looking scalpel. Dave's eyes threatened to explode out of their sockets with fear. What he thought might have been a nasty case of forced anal was turning into something altogether uglier.
He felt the blade of the scalpel enter the skin on the top of his left foot. Pain shot up his leg and entered his gut. The man began to slice open his leg. From the shin, to the knee, to the thigh, the razor-sharp knife ate through layers of epidermis.
Then, the blade made an arch over the boy's pubis, and the line was being drawn down the right leg to his left foot. The man then stepped behind his victim and reproduced the effort from behind.
Dave's body was starting to go into shock. He was shaking and had broken out in a cold sweat. He wanted to collapse to the ground, but his legs would not respond.
The man came back around to the front and inserted the blade into Dave's lower abdomen. He was tracing around the six-pack the young man was so proud of. It felt like he was going to carve a window into his stomach so he could peer inside and see what made him tick.
Next came the chest. The scalpel carved tragically slow spirals around Dave's nipples. The boy was swooning. The room had begun to spin, and he hovered just at the point of passing out.
The scalpel was then raised to his face. The deadly tip hovered centimeters in front of his right eye until it was lowered and inserted into the meat just below. His cheek was sliced through with a sickening sound. He felt the blade cut deep and tasted blood in his mouth. The scalpel must have dug all the way through. When the blade reached the bottom of his cheek, it traced his jaw line until it fell into the flesh of his left cheek.
When the blade reached his left eye, the man patiently retracted the metal and stared at his work. Seemingly unhappy with the product, he continued to slice fine, artistic ribbons through Dave's now-butchered skin.
Full shock had settled in. Dave's vision was blurring and fading. He could feel the cold grasp of death caressing his heart. He was going to be worm food soon.
The last thing he felt, before shock and blood loss got the best of him, was the skin on his face being peeled off. There was a sound accompanying the feeling that reminded him of the a time he had pulled wet wallpaper from a wall. He wanted to go back in time to that memory and fly away from death. But, death was too fast a predator for him.
Upstairs, Gwen shushed the group, swearing she had heard something. KitKat killed the music as torturous screams lofted from the floorboards. KitKat ran to the basement door but found it locked. She scrambled behind the bar for the key only to remember that Dave had to have taken it with him. The rest of the group was in her way, trying to pull the door from its hinges. KitKat finally made her way through the crowd and tried the handle herself. The handle was frozen. KitKat pounded on the solid wood and screamed Dave's name. The agonizing screams began to fade. The door still would not open.

Сър Джордж Етъридж () е английски драматург, поет и дипломат, създател на комедията на маниерите от епохата на Реставрацията. Той е автор на пиесите "Комичното отмъщение" (или "Любов във вана") от 1664 г., "Би го направила, ако можеше" (1668) и "Контето" (или "Сър Фоплинг Флатър") от 1676 г.

Биография

Ранни години
Джордж Етъридж е роден вероятно в град Мейдънхед, Бъркшър, Кралство Англия около 1635/36 г., в семейството на Джордж Етъридж и Мери Пауни, като най-голямото от шест деца. Посещава училището на лорд Уилямс в град Тейм, Оксфордшър, където на него е кръстена училищна сграда впоследствие. Говори се, че е учил в Кеймбдриджкия университет, въпреки че английският драматург Джон Денис заявява, че доколкото знае, Етъридж не е разбирал нито старогръцки, нито латински език, което поражда известни съмнения, че е бил там.

Около 1653 г., благодарение на дядо си, Етъридж стажува при адвокат и по-късно учи право в Clement's Inn, Лондон – една от Канцлерските сгради. Вероятно е пътувал в чужбина до Франция с баща си, който е пребивавал при кралицата в изгнание Хенриета-Мария Бурбон-Френска, и навярно е гледал в Париж някои от най-ранните комедии на Молиер. Намекът в една от пиесите му предполага, че може би е познавал лично мемоариста Рожер дьо Рабютен, граф дьо Бюси.

Кариера като драматург
Скоро след Реставрацията на Стюартите, през 1660 г. Етъридж пише комедията си "Комичното отмъщение или любов във вана" (The Comical Revenge or Love in a Tub). Пиесата е поставена в Театър Lincoln's Inn Fields през 1664 г. и се радва на мигновен успех, като няколко копия от нея са отпечатани същата година. Тя все още е базирана на по-ранната традиция: романтичен сюжет в героични куплети и blank verse (неримирано ямбично петостишие), и фарсов подсюжет. Части от пиесата са в римувани "героични стихове" ( – римуваната ямбична линия или героичен куплет), подобно на скованите трагедии на Робърт Хауърд и Томас Килигрю. Произведението обаче има нов поглед към съвременните на автора маниери, особено в образа на стилния сър Фредерик Фролик, и съдържа особено силни и свежи комични сцени. Свадата между сър Фредерик и Вдовицата въвежда нов стил на остроумие, непознат досега на английската сцена.

Въпреки успеха Етъридж чака четири години, преди да повтори експеримента си. Междувременно той придобива висока репутация на поетичен красавец и започва да се движи в кръга на сър Чарлз Седли – 5-и баронет и английски драматург, лорд Рочестър – поет и драматург, и Чарлз Саквил (лорд Бъкхърст, бъдещ 6-и граф Дорсет). Темпераментът му най-добре се вижда от имената, които съвременниците му дават: "Кроткият Джордж" ("gentle George") и "Спокойният Етъридж" ("easy Etheredge").

През 1668 г. Етъридж публикува "Би го направила, ако можеше" (She Wou'd if She Cou'd) – комедия на действието, остроумието и духа, макар и според някои да е несериозна и неморална. Това е първата комедия на маниерите, която постигна единство на тона, като отхвърля несъвместимия романтичен стих. В нея Етъридж за пръв път се изявява като нова сила в литературата. Той изобразява един въздушен и фантастичен свят, където флиртът е единствената сериозна работа в живота. Самият автор води не по-малко несериозен и безпринципен живот. Пиесата е провал поради лошата актьорска игра.
Между 1668 и 1671 г. Етъридж е в Константинопол като секретар на английския посланик сър Даниел Харви. След 8-годишно мълчание, през 1676 г. той публикува само още една своя пиеса: "Контето или Сър Фоплинг Флатър" (The Man of Mode or, Sir Fopling Flutter), която се смята за най-добрата комедия на нравите, писана в Англия преди епохата на Уилям Конгрив. Действието се развива в Лондон на Реставрацията и проследява живота на главния герой – женкарят Доримант в опит да спечели младата наследница Хариет и да се отдалечи от връзката си с г-жа Ловит. Поставена на сцена и публикувана през 1676 г., пиесата се радва на голям успех, което може да се отдаде на мнението, че осмива или поне се отнася до известни лондонски съвременници на автора. Образът на сър Фоплинг Флатър е портрет на Бо Хюит – изисканият управител, Доримант е препратка към Граф Рочестър, а Медли е портрет на самия Етъридж (или също толкова правдоподобно – на неговия колега драматург сър Чарлз Седли).

Живот отвъд театъра
В кралския двор Етъридж е част от Веселата банда (The Merry Gang, както я нарича Ендрю Марвъл). Тя процъфтява след 1665 г. в течение на около 15 години и освен Етъридж включва Джон Уилмът – 2-ри граф Рочестър, Хенри Джърмин – 1-ви граф Сейнт Албанс, Чарлз Саквил – 6-и граф Дорсет, Джон Шефилд – 1-ви херцог Бъкингам и Норманби, драматурзите Хенри Килигрю, Сър Чарлз Седли, Уилям Уичърли и Джордж Вилърс – 2-ри херцог Бъкингам. Етърдж и Уилмът имат по една дъщеря от неомъжената актриса Елизабет Бари – една ог големите актриси от епохата на Реставрацията.

След успеха си Етъридж се оттегля от литературата и няколко години по-късно губи голяма част от богатството си заради хазарт. Обявен е за рицар през 1680 г. и получава титлата "Сър". През 1683 г. се жени за богата вдовица Мери Шепърд Арнолд.

През март 1685 г. е назначен за резидентен министър при Императорския германски двор в Регенсбург. След три години и половина престой там и след Славната революция Етъридж заминава за Париж, за да се присъедини към изганния Джеймс II.

Той умира в Париж, вероятно през 1691 г., тъй като английският историк Нарцис Лутрел отбелязва това като скорошно събитие през февруари 1692 г., идентифицирайки сър Джордж Етъридж като посланик на покойния крал Джеймс във Виена. Енциклопедия Британика посочва за дата на смъртта му около 10 май 1692 г.

Ръкописните депеши на Етъридж са запазени в Британския музей, където са открити и описани от Едмънд Госе през 1881 г. По-късните издания се дължат на Сибил Розенфелд (Sybil Rosenfeld, 1928) и Фредерик Брачър (Frederic Bracher, 1974).

Наследство
Eтъридж заема високо място в английската литература като част от "Великата петорка" на комедията от епохата на Реставрацията в ролята му на създател на Комедията на маниерите () и на проправил пътя пред Уилям Конгрив и Ричард Шеридан. Изображенията му на дендита и красавци се считат за най-добрите от този вид. Той е известен със своите деликатни нотки в облеклото, мебелите и сцената, както и с яркото възпроизвеждане на изисканите маниери на лондонските дами и господа.

Неговата биография е написана за пръв път подробно от Едмънд Госе (Edmund Gosse) в "Изследвания на 17 век" (Seventeenth Century Studies, 1883).

Той се появява като герой в "Развратникът" (The Libertine) – игрален филм от 2004 г., базиран на едноименната пиеса от 1994 г. на Стивън Джефрис. В ролята му е британският артист Том Холандър.

You can track projected (estimate) costs and actual costs through Excel or other similar software. Your organisation may already have finance software, but sometimes it is easier to also track costs using simple software like Excel.
It is recommended that you enter actual costs as they come in. Data management is very important, especially if you want to know the true cost of project. Keep a track of receipts and other paperwork. You may want to code your receipts and paperwork to match your tracking table for audit purposes.
It is also good to keep notes that explain reasons for differences in projected and actual costs as this provides lessons and a guide for future projects, as well as helping in reporting.

Why a photo-booth company went all-in on software
Pixilated has ambitions beyond its trademark photo booth. With $500K in fresh capital, the five-year-old company is scaling up. Here's how.

Maryland bill would tax digital ads to pay for education
Pixilated cofounders Patrick Rife and Nic China using their own product.
Pixilated photo booths are known for adding a dose of fun to weddings and parties around town. When the cofounders of the company started five years ago, they recognized the power of the selfie.
"I think we came into business at a time when people were starting to get really comfortable with screens and seeing themselves on them," said Nic China.
They also saw that it could be more than a picture. As he and Patrick Rife delved deeper and traded thoughts with other entrepreneurs at Baltimore events like TechBreakfast and Startup Soiree (of which they are also cofounders), the wood-encased kiosks gained more capabilities. They added ways to email and text yourself photos, and integrations with CRM software.
But as they discovered more possibilities, they also ran up against the limitations of the third-party software they use. The next change requires building their own.
With new investment money, the company plans to build a platform to manage the photo kiosks, media sharing and data that is gathered at events.
They raised $500,000 from investors including Mavin Ventures, a new firm founded by Greg Cangialosi and Jeff Kurtzman. China said it will fund software development and an expansion of the sales team.
Oh, by the way, they're hiring.
The investment is the first infusion of outside capital for a company that has been bootstrapped to date. Growing on revenue, they added a new employee each time the work increase required it. The core team now has 10 full-time employees — two of whom were recently elevated from part-time — along with the people who run photo kiosks at events.
"We swelled to the point where we're going to need some technological help," China said. "Our current technology is not scalable."
They want all of the files, social media and integrations — everything except the photo being taken — to be able to be accessed remotely via the cloud. With that capability, China said the software will help the company expand to new cities, with an aim to add offices in D.C. and Philly this year.
But it's not just about expanding the number of weddings and parties. Pixilated also wants to ramp up the marketing offerings they can provide to other companies.

They didn't arrive at this growth idea immediately. During our conversation, China reflected on how building a business meant trying to think of all of the possible ways to grow. That's led to a lot of different ideas spilling out of Pixilated HQ in Morrell Park.
But it was an out-of-town trip to Bonnaroo that provided a particularly eye-opening experience. It was about business rather than bands.
At the Tennessee festival, they were shooting for nutrition company GNC. Representing a big brand was a relatively new approach, but they found they could show what they could do. Along with a pic that had GNC's logo on it, they also offered the company a way to capture emails digitally.
They also saw that their approach was just one of the tech-enabled marketing strategies in use at the festival — think beacons, app integrations, etc.
"All of these things ultimately were really connected to one another, and we understood a lot of them," Rife said of the tech. "It was a place that we got a chance to look at a much more scaled battlefield than we were ultimately conducting in.

Over time, they realized that the social media sharing and data collection offerings could be part of their client brands' overall digital marketing strategy. They started working with more, but they also see potential for more than events.
That has also led to an evolution of the physical photo kiosks themselves, which were designed and fabricated in Baltimore from the start. The new versions would be able to be placed permanently at locations like retail stores. In one concept, a smaller version could sit on a shelf.
The founders' vision includes the ability to add new features as they go. While today they're incorporating Snapchat overlays, the future could include virtual reality.
"We want to get them to a place where [brands] bring their most ambitious ideas to us," Rife said.

As if America didn't have enough problems to worry about, the U.S. military has just dropped the largest nonnuclear bomb on Afghanistan.
The MOAB, developed during the Iraq War, is a 21,600-pound, GPS-guided bomb that is America's most powerful nonnuclear munition and was reportedly dropped by an MC-130 aircraft, the news station reports.
According to several news sources, the target was reportedly tunnels and Islamic State group, or ISIS, personnel in the Achin district of the Nangarhar province.
Gen. John Nicholson, commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, reportedly signed off on the bomb's use. This is the first time that a MOAB has ever been used on a battlefield.

The Maisky Diaries
The diaries of Ivan Maisky, Soviet Ambassador to the UK from 1932-43, discovered and scrupulously edited by Professor Gabriel Gorodetsky, offer unprecedented insight into events surrounding the Second World War. Maisky enjoyed unique access to key players in British public life – politicians, diplomats, press barons, intellectuals and royalty – as well as being privy to the impact of personal rivalries within the Kremlin on Soviet policy, providing an extraordinary vie...


Actor Mark Ruffalo (The Kids Are All Right, Spotlight, The Avengers) hasn't been onstage since 2006's Awake and Sing on Broadway, but he got his start in small L.A. theatres and had his breakthrough in 1996 with Kenneth Lonergan's Off-Broadway classic This Is Our Youth. He'll return to Broadway in March for a revival of Arthur Miller's The Price at Roundabout Theatre Company.
I spoke to him by phone on the morning of President Trump's inauguration. The night before he had appeared in another of his prominent roles, as an activist, at a protest rally in front of Trump Tower.
I somehow missed Awake and Sing, which means the last time I saw you onstage was in Justin Tanner's Still Life With Vacuum Salesman back in 1994, at the Cast Theatre in Hollywood. Did I miss any other stage work since Awake and Sing?
No, I haven't really done any. I've done some readings and things like that, but not really back onstage. It's been a long time.
And there wasn't a lot before Awake and Sing, was there?
I sort of had the surprise of having a film career, which I wasn't really expecting, you know? But before Awake and Sing, The Moment When was the last thing I'd done—a James Lapine play at Playwrights Horizons.
That's exactly what happened. They were like, "Where did you come from?" I was like, "What are you talking about? I've been right under your nose for the past 10 years doing exactly the same thing here in L.A." But no one goes to the theatre in L.A. I realized that if you had a long list of L.A. theatre credits on your résumé, they immediately thought you were a loser. I started taking theatre credits off of my résumé. But I have to say, I've seen a lot of New York theatre and I've seen a lot of L.A. theatre. And L.A. theatre is just as vibrant and, in a lot of ways, more beautiful because it isn't so corporatized. It's more independent and there's a lot more freedom.
I don't know if you've followed the whole L.A. 99-Seat controversy that's been going on in the past few years, about whether Equity actors should be allowed to work without a contract under a certain level. I don't want to get too deep into that controversy with you, but I did see your early work on the old 99-seat plan.
I mean, actors should be paid, but, you know… I mean, I'm doing this play here; I'm taking a major pay cut to do this, you know. So it's all relative. And there's probably an argument to be made that, you know, yes, we could do better, but I also want to do this. And maybe theatre is like a civil act—a generous social act.
There was an early version of This Is Our Youth at the Met in Los Angeles, if I remember correctly. Is that how you got involved with that play?
Yeah, there was the one-act version at the Met called Betrayed by Everyone. I wasn't even cast. I was only doing a reading for it. They were looking for a star, and I was asked to do a reading of it with a casting associate—we were just reading it for him to hear it out loud. They made it very clear that there was no way we would possibly get a part in it, that it was just a reading. But we did it so well that he cast us.
I think Oliver Platt used to be a reader in auditions, and that was how he got his break too.
Oh really? That's cool. That's one of the backdoor ways to get a part.
So tell me about the part you're playing in The Price, Victor.
Victor Franz is a cop who's turning 50, and he's made all these decisions about his life and beyond and now, you know, he's taking a look at whether he's made the best decisions. And he's having a reunion with his brother; they're about to tear their old family home down, and they've got all the family furniture in there that they've got to get rid of. And they haven't spoken in 16 years.
The only time I've seen the play was at A Noise Within in L.A., a really good production, about a dozen years ago. At the time I think I called it "Chekhovian." It's got some of the usual Arthur Miller themes, fathers and sons and all, but it's a very slow burn.
Yeah. It's very mature. It's much more nuanced than some of his other plays. It's really political, but the politics are buried so deeply in the people. Sometimes, you know, Arthur's ideas are so big politically that they–you know, wow. This doesn't do that.
Characters like this bring a lot of backstory into the room. As an actor what do you do to prepare for that?
It's a lot of imagination work, a lot of daydreaming, really. Stella Adler had a beautiful saying. She said, "Once something passes through your imagination, it's real." That can be a really intense, hard thing. There's some writing that goes on, and I do some other kinds of quirky things. But a lot of it, honestly, is daydreaming about the life of the character based on the play.
It's not about excavating your own relationship with your father or family, or anything like that?
Well, that's not the end-all. You know, we understand the nature of certain things because of our experience, and I think you'd be foolish to somehow divorce yourself from yourself. But then also you have to be careful not to pull the play down into your life, but lift yourself up into the greatness of the play. That was another thing Stella taught us. Yeah, you're reflecting on your own experience; that really informs it. But at the end of the day, that's small, and won't sustain you throughout the run. So there's a fine line to walk there.
You mean my day job?
Or does it kind of grow out of it naturally?
That's another thing we were taught—to be really socially active and involved, and politically astute. Stella came out of the Yiddish theatre, and that was the Jewish intellectual movement that led to the Group Theatre, and the whole workers movement was kicked off by Waiting for Lefty. That was part of my teaching, so it's sort of seamless, even if a lot of them did it their work. The activism has been more direct for me, and the work has, sadly, taken a bit of a backseat. But this is a shift for me to get back to it—to get back to my theatre roots, and theatre that has a political aspect to it. This hits all those boxes for me. The political, the social, and the artistic working together is really powerful, but I think is hard to do these days.
The bunker's in the streets. When you're afraid, hit the streets. It's not an accident that enshrined in our First Amendment is the right to assembly and to address grievances and freedom of speech—they're all there. That's the First Amendment. That might be all that's left to us at this point, but there's so much power there.
At the rally last night, there were 25,000 people. That's how we know we're not alone. I think the more cynical forces in the world want us to believe we're alone, want us to believe somehow that our votes didn't matter, that the progress that we made in this country in the last 50, 60 years, was all for naught—that our decency as Americans and the values that we hold dear to us from the beginning of our Constitution are somehow no longer valid. So the way we fight against that is to come together and remind each other that, yes, we do have values. America isn't just about money, it isn't just about businesses—it's about people. And we're not a fearful country, we're actually a courageous country. We don't give up our principles based on fear or making each other the bogeyman, and we never have. When we have in the past, we've always righted it.
I'm more neutral. I'm waiting for them to find their own way. They've been around it and they've been exposed to it; they dabble in it. But I'm also not pushing introducing them to it. But certainly, if they wanted to do it, they have a nice headstart for it.
I know the cliché that even actors who are successful are worried about their kids going into the business. It's not an easy life, there are no guarantees.
No, but when I look at it, and I look at my friends, it's been a good life. I've learned to really work hard. I've learned really beautiful lessons. I've been invited in places that no one would ever be invited to with so much openness and love.
I tell you, I have parents come to me, "My son or daughter wants to be an actress. What am I going to do?" You know, they can end up a lot worse. There's a lot worse places these days they could end up that do harm in ways that you would never imagine. Ours is a much maligned industry, but when you look at it, it's probably one of the most decent, upright industries in the world. We're not screwing anybody, harming people, and nepotism doesn't really play. It is really a meritocracy in the way it works. No one's doing anyone any favors.
Wait, are you talking about film or theatre here?
I'm talking about both. I mean, even in film there's only so long you can get away with not being good. You have to bring something to the table. And, you know, we're not killing people. I'm always amazed by how maligned we are. But if you want to add up our scumbags against the scumbags in other industries, I have a feeling we have a much lower percentage.
Do you worry that you get typecast in angry roles? I'm not just talking about the Hulk. Anger has been a signature of some of your best roles, and Victor in The Price has a big tell-off speech. Is that a slot you fit naturally into?
It's seasonal. You do something well, and then there's a slew of those kinds of parts. You're always sort of trying to stay ahead of the curve a little bit, you know, while at the same time exploring other things. Righteousness and justice—those are things that I'm interested in these days, and so I'm riding that wave a little bit. It will jump to something else when I feel like it.
Actually, in the first thing I saw you in, Still Life With Vacuum Salesman, you were doing sort of a riff on Stanley Kowalski. I remember there being a lot of "young Brando" talk when you started. Do you still hear that?
Not really, no; somewhere I went off the tracks. The jig is up. They saw through my ruse.
So maybe the anger thing is typecasting. But what do you do to blow off steam in real life? What's your guilty pleasure?
I started taking the kids to a ceramics class on the weekend. They eventually just stopped going and I'm the only one going now. I sort of beg them to come with me so I don't feel like I'm in a ceramics class. I tell people, "Oh, you know, I had to take the kids to the ceramic class." But it's just me. So I guess I like doing ceramics.
So we're talking a potter's wheel and everything?
There's a potter's wheel, and then there's like hand-building stuff and sculpture. It's just a way to check out in an active way. You have to be really present, especially on the wheel. Just trying to center the goddamn thing is an act of Zen fortitude.
You like to make stuff with your hands, Mark? Is that what you like to do?
I like to make stuff with my hands, bruh. I've always been handy, and I have a nice little wood shop; I have a welder. I like to make furniture or fix things. We were on a farm for many years, and there's a lot of stuff that needs to be repaired on a farm. So I like to garden, and I guess I'm into ceramics a little bit now. And, if I can, I like to surf. I've always been a surfer.
Can you think of what your first theatrical memory—the first time you were like, "This is it for me"?
I did one play, the school play. What happened was the kid broke his arm and they needed somebody, so they put me in the part. And I loved it so much, after the first night, I was like, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
Do you remember the play and the part?
I think it was called The Runaways. It was this straight play of all these foster kids living in this home, and I was a cop, a detective. It was my first cop role of what would end up being many cop roles in a career.

Top four reasons to do business with Latin America
City skyline of Columbia
by Georgina Jerums | 14 Aug 2018 Print Mail
Keen to break into Latin America? We show you how.
Plenty of trade scope exists for Victorian businesses in Latin America. And to cap it off, having an office in Santiago means the Victorian Government has 'feet on the ground' to develop business networks and open the continent up to Victorian stakeholders.
"Over 100 world-class Australian companies use Chile as their regional headquarters."
Natalia Gorrono, Senior Investment and Trade Director, Latin America
Notably, Chile is a convenient launching pad to do business with the rest of Latin America, explains Natalia Gorrono, the Senior Investment and Trade Director at the Santiago-based Victorian Government Trade and Investment office.
"Chile has a free trade agreement network with Australia and most of its Latin American neighbours plus a stable regulatory framework – and over 100 world-class Australian companies use Chile as their regional headquarters," she says. "These include mining, agriculture, food and technology companies, as well as science agencies and universities. They choose Chile as their landing pad and then expand operations across the rest of Latin America – it's a well-trodden path and a friendly business ecosystem."
Direct international air services to and from Victoria are also crucial in supporting business, tourism and investment flows. The new direct flight between Santiago and Melbourne is expected to lead to significant growth in tourism, as well as facilitate trade with more air cargo options into Latin America.
Here are four growth areas for Victorian businesses.
1. Mining and Mining Equipment, Technology and Services (METS)
An upturn in mineral prices and entry and expansion of Victorian mining companies into Latin America presents a prime opportunity for our state.
"We don't 'dig' much in Victoria compared to other Australian states," concedes Natalia, "but we export 'our smarts' to the global mining industry. Victoria has a reputation as the finance capital for Australian mining and we're also the innovation capital for mining in Australia."
As mines and operations are established throughout Latin America, demand for METS, capital, infrastructure, education, community engagement, environmental and safety elements grow.
Melbourne-headquartered mining companies such as BHP, Newcrest and Laguna Gold are either looking for new projects in Latin America (everything from copper to gold) or they're already in Latin America and are looking to expand.
Moreover, Victoria has a fantastic R&D ecosystem geared towards finding solutions for the mining industry. The CSIRO's minerals division is based in Victoria, as is the Australian Synchrotron and AMIRA International – a member-based organisation of minerals companies and suppliers that jointly fund research.
2. Food and agricultural technology
Increased purchasing power has led to an increased focus on healthy and premium food products and that's where Victoria has a competitive advantage, notes Natalia.
There's a push in Latin American supermarkets – especially those in Chile and Peru – for healthy food alternatives, which is benefiting Victorian companies like Organ and Passage Foods.
Agricultural technology, she adds, offers another lucrative area for Victorian businesses. "There are many opportunities for our agtech companies to export their technologies and 'smarts' to service Latin America's agricultural sector."
Victorian universities are increasingly popular among Latin American higher education students, presenting opportunities for continued growth is student recruitments from the region. There are also significant opportunities in Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers to develop local partnerships and respond to the region's upskilling needs.
"Our main education focus is to grow student numbers from Latin America into Victoria," says Natalia, "and this includes students learning English, plus university students. Global politics and Australia's enviable lifestyle have positioned us as an attractive English-speaking study destination for Latin American students. Also, Victoria is a huge draw as our universities rank amongst some of the best in the world."
4. Liveability
Victoria is a leader in sustainable water management, urban design, and protection of the environment and its internationally-renowned architecture has played a key role in transforming Melbourne and regional cities into highly desirable places to live.
Indeed, this transformation is something that other cities are keen to emulate. Rapid urbanisation across Latin American is calling for investment in water supply and sanitation, flood mitigation and public transport systems to create liveable and sustainable cities. Widespread open tender processes and growing interests in Public Private Partnership models are opening up opportunities for Victorian firms.
The recently-released Globally Connected: Victoria's Latin America Trade and Investment Strategy provides more details about opportunities in the region.

'Dickinson': Here's the Recipe for Emily's Award-Winning Cake
Andrea Towers
For those fans out there of Apple TV's "Dickinson," who immediately wanted to try a piece of Emily's 20-pound cake when she presented it to her family in the opening of the second episode of Season 2?
Based on the traditional recipe for a Caribbean black cake, Emily's creation artfully combines her love of baking with her extravagant nature. And it's a true fact that the Amherst poet was a talented and prolific baker, despite (or maybe because of) her reclusive nature.
A handful of Emily's recipes have survived to exist in the present day, either in archives at Amherst or on the internet. They include coconut cake, doughnuts, gingerbread, corn-cakes, rice-cakes, Lyman's rye and Indian bread, and black cake. Emily's award-winning creation in "Dickinson" is based on one of those recipes — specifically, her black cake recipe.
Also Read: 'Dickinson:' What's the Real Story With Emily and Newspaper Mogul Samuel Bowles?
The ingredients and structure are mostly the same and intend to yield the same 20-pound result but, in the show, Emily describes her process a little differently than how it exists on paper. The main difference: soaking the ingredients in brandy for three months instead of one.
Although the judges claimed Emily's cake to be award-worthy, we can't claim to know how it actually tastes if you make it yourself. But we can give you the recipe to try — so long as you have the time, money, a big enough kitchen and enough eggs and raisins.
And yes, before you ask — it is doable. Just ask the Harvard librarians who, in 2016, made a video chronicling their attempt at baking the famous dessert. (And it turned out pretty good!)
2 pounds of sugar 2 pounds of butter (Emily swapped in beef suet for a richer flavor) 5 pounds of raisins 2 whole nutmegs 19 eggs A pound and a half of currant sichuan for flavor
Soak it all for a month after mixing and let your taste buds sing!

Construction resumes at Huaxin Narayani Cement plant project after flood
Nepal: Construction of the Huaxin Cement Narayani plant being built at Benighat Rorang Rural Municipality in Dhading has resumed following a flood in July 2019. The deluge damaged worker dormitories, plant structures being built and an access road to the site, according to the Republica newspaper. 400 Chinese workers and 300 local workers are working on the site. Another 600 Chinese workers will be added soon. The company aims to start production at the unit from June 2020.
Mississippi Lime resumes normal distribution
US: Mississippi Lime says that Midwestern flood levels have receded sufficiently enough to enable it to resume normal barge and rail loading and shipping. Previously, the lime producer reported that flooding by the Mississippi River reduced its distribution and supply capabilities in May 2019. Barge loading facilities were affected and flood gates near its Ste Genevieve, Missouri plant were closed forcing it to use an alternate rail route, which reduced shipment capacity and increased costs.
Flooding damages Huaxin Cement Narayan plant project in Nepal
Nepal: Flooding has damaged the Huaxin Narayani Cement plant being built at Benighat Rorang Rural Municipality in Dhading. Rising water from the Malekhu River caused around US$90,000 damage to the construction site, according to the Himalayan Times newspaper. The deluge wrecked a storeroom and swept away five vehicles. Work on the US$137m project started earlier in 2019.
Mississippi Lime declares force majeure event due to flooding
US: Mississippi Lime has declared a force majeure event due to flooding by the Mississippi River caused by 'significant' precipitation in the central US. The flooding has impacted the lime producer's distribution and supply capabilities. This is expected to cause delays in supplying products to customers and will incur additional costs that it will pass through as a surcharge. The company added that, despite this, the flooding has not affected production.
Flooding on the Mississippi River forced the closure of Mississippi Lime's barge loading facilities in early May 2019 and an alternate barge loading facility later in the month. The company does not anticipate re-opening its facility until the flood waters recede to a safe level, possibly in late June 2019. In the meantime the closure of flood gates near the company's Ste Genevieve, Missouri unit has forced the company to use an alternate rail route with reduced shipment capacity, additional transit time and higher cost for both inbound and outbound shipments. Mississippi Lime anticipates resuming rail shipments in late June 2019, depending on weather conditions.
Cemex UK's South Ferriby cement plant starts work on flood defences
UK: Construction work has started on a new flood embankment west of the Cemex's South Ferriby cement plant in North Lincolnshire. New brick-clad walls will also be built around Ferriby Sluice. The project, led by the Environment Agency, has an investment of around Euro14m. The scheme is scheduled for completion by 2021.
"We are delighted to be contributing building materials to construct the new flood defences. In December 2013 floods damaged the plant putting it out of production for over 12 months and causing immense damage to local homes and businesses. It was estimated that over Euro55m worth of damage was caused," said Piotr Klepak, Cemex Plant Director.
Suez Cement's Kattameya plant damaged by wastewater flood
Egypt: Suez Cement's Kattameya plant has been damaged by the collapse of a soil barrier around a nearby wastewater treatment lake. The incident caused a flood of 1.5Mm3 of treated water that reached the edge of the cement plant. The plant's quarry, some power cables and lighting and a road was damaged. No members of staff at the plant were hurt.
The subsidiary of HeidelbergCement estimates that the flood caused around Euro0.5m worth of damage. It says that it previously raised the issue of the wastewater treatment lake with its owner in 2010 following a risk assessment. This led to the construction of the soil barriers.
Insee Cement distributes cement to flooded areas in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka: Insee Cement is working with the local government to supported rebuilding and renovation efforts in flooded parts of Northern Province. The cement producer has distributed 10 bags of its Insee Sanstha product to over 250 displaced families, according to the Daily News newspaper. It said it would continue to monitor the situation and offer more support.
Siam Cement Group Building Materials division sales hobbled by floods
Thailand: Siam Cement Group's Building Materials division's sales fell by 2% year-on-year to US$1.29bn in the first quarter of 2017 due to lower prices and falling volumes in the local market. The group reported that domestic cement demand fell by 7% in the quarter due to flooding in the south of the country. Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBTIDA) for the division were also negatively affected by the weather falling by 10% to US$181m. Overall the group's sales and EBITDA rose due to earnings from its Chemical division.
Production restarts at Cemex South Ferriby cement plant after flooding
UK: Production has restarted at the Cemex UK South Ferriby cement plant following flooding in December 2013. One of the two cement kilns has been commissioned and is producing clinker.
"Rebuilding the plant in 12 months has been no mean feat and I am immensely proud of what we have achieved. The refurbished plant will allow us to continue our heritage of producing quality cement, sustainably, safely and efficiently, now and for many years to come," said Philip Baynes-Clarke, plant director. "South Ferriby plant had grown organically through the site for the last 80 years, the flood gave us the opportunity to rebuild it in a logical way to today's standards with tomorrow's production in mind."
The flood cut off the 11,000 volt electric supply and destroyed 30 switch rooms and two substations. Today over 6.4km of high voltage cable has been laid to create a new infrastructure of cables to supply the various operations throughout the site. These cables lead to one electrical substation, which houses modern electrical switchgear. In addition 30 switchrooms have been rebuilt along with the vast majority of the site's electrical systems. Other efficiencies such as LED lighting have been built in to the systems to provide savings in electricity.
With the failure of the electric supply when the flood hit, one of the kilns stopped in mid-production with hot material still in it. This caused the kiln shell to bend due to the high thermal load. Subsequently a 22m section of the 65m long kiln was replaced. All elements of the cement production process are now controlled from a centralised computer. This new control system replaces five control rooms, which are all marked for demolition in the coming months.
Cemex reports progress at flooded South Ferriby cement plant
UK: Repairs to the flood-damaged Cemex UK cement plant at South Ferriby are said to be making 'good' progress according to Cemex UK. The 0.8Mt/yr plant was flooded by a tidal surge from the River Humber in early December 2013.
Partial production started in April 2014 and a Cemex UK spokesman has reported to the Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph that they plan on resuming full production later in 2014. Repair efforts are now focusing on the kiln systems and the two raw mills and coal mills. Cemex UK has declined to comment on how much the repairs have cost although it is rumoured to have cost as much as Euro14m. The plant employs 150 people and contributes Euro 12.5m/yr to the economy of North Lincolnshire.

Although a free press is an integral part of democratic governance, intercountry adoption is one case in which the media makes it virtually impossible for governments to send children abroad for adoption. A country (State A) which gives up a child for intercountry adoption should receive a "credit" for that child which will entitle any other family within State A that may want to adopt a child to priority on the list at the Vatican. The second major function for the Intercountry Adoption Agency might be called the "annual report" function. All adoptive parents who take a child from the Vatican must sign a pledge to write an annual report on the welfare of the child.

I held off on joining Facebook for a long time, but around the end of the summer I decided that I was a bit lacking in social interaction and so I joined.
The good: I have gotten back in touch with many good friends. I had a lot of friends from high school who I was very close to at that time, and that was before the internet took off, so we had lost touch.
The bad: The level of interaction is generally fairly superficial.
The ugly: Sometimes awkward situations arise. Do you "friend" your long-time-ago ex? What do you say to people who post things on your wall that you'd rather they didn't post? Why did that long lost friend appear, then disappear?
My favorite: Some of the really wonderful older people, mentors, youth group leaders, teachers, etc. who are on facebook. I so love being able to reconnect with them and let them know where I am now. It's not where I ever expected to be!

These are used in conjunction with the Layout menu to create scale drawings of the physical location of equipment in racks and consoles.
This is a Plug-In object used to place a 19-inch equipment rack on the Rack Layout layer.
The rack ID, height width and depth can be edited directly in the Object Info palette. As well as 19-inch standard racks we also now support 23-inch recks common in IT and telecom installations.
This is a Plug-In object that puts a ruler on the drawing showing height in metres and rack units. This is useful for checking the ergonomics of equipment positions. You can edit the ruler length directly in the Object Info palette.
The rack base offset parameter lets you add extra height when racks are mounted on plinths or mobile bases.
Name, Make and Model fairly self-explanatory. Note: if the Name corresponds to a device name on the schematic connectCAD will assume that this EquipItem is the physical representation of that device and update its location.
What to display? Name or Model? and text alignment.
You can set a front panel symbol using this button if you want a more pictorial look and if you have the symbols of course.
Dimensions: If the EquipItem is rack-mounting you can set the height in RU and select whether it is full or half rack width.
Modules that mount in Rack Frames have the Fit-to-Slot property checked and can occupy more than one frame slot.
Location data: EquipItems can detect where they are on the layout. So here for example this audio mixer is located in rack 1 at U 27.
Location information is transferred automatically to the schematic but can be updated manually if need be using the Update Location Info command.
This object is a generic rack frame for modular devices (to house DA's, or converters for example).
The Rack Frame object can be configured to emulate rack frames from almost every manufacturer by editing the parameters in the Object Info palette. You can choose how many slots there are horizontally and vertically, and the number and location of the power supplies. You can also adjust the relative size of the power supply to the slots.
RackEquipItems calculate their slot position from the data provided by RackFrame.
Create Symbol can be used to save particular frame configs in the resource pallete as 'red' symbols. These are pre-configured objects that can then be drag/dropped onto the drawing.
This is a Plug-In object used to place blank panels on the Rack Layout layer. The size of the panel in rack units can be edited in the Object Info palette.
Plug-In object used to place Mains Distribution Units on the Rack Layout layer.
When you've done your rack elevation, connectCAD lets you visualise the physical layout of your system in 3D. You create an additional layer for each level of your building and either draw or import a floorplan for each level.
You can place 3D Rack objects on these layers with ID's that match the rack bays defined on the Rack Elevation layer. When you rotate the view into 3D, the racks draw themselves with equipment installed. All this without you having to do any complex 3D drawing operations.
Rack ID: this is the most important one. For the 3D rack to draw its contents it has to know what they are. So the rack ID must match the ID of a 2D rack on the rack elevation.
Physical data: Height in RU, width, depth and weight of the rack itself. And the rack opening can be 19in or 23 in.
Checkboxes let you choose to display side panels, doors etc. and important rack contents. Toggling the rack contents checkbox updates the contents if changes have been made.
A Plug-In object used to place 3D Console Bays on Plan/3d layers.
These work in a similar way to 3D Racks, but instead of being stand-alone objects. they are designed to be placed on tables or incorporated in console furniture that you design. Vectorworks has wonderful 3D tools to help realise furniture designs – some examples will be posted on the site to show how it's done.
3D consoles have an additional parameter, slope. This lets you set the entire object at an angle convenient to the operator.
Weight and power consumption are calculated in the same was as 3D Racks.
The ConnPanel Object is an object used to assist in visualising and design custom panel layouts. It works by linking up with Connector Panel devices on schematics and importing their connector details into the object. The ConnPanelObj can then draw the corresponding panel connectors in detail on a to-scale drawing of the panel.
Distribute, Center, Pack: these buttons let you auto-arrange the connectors on the panel in various ways. Snap-to-Loci is available if a panel template symbol is being used and places the connectors on the template's loci.
Connector Names and Symbols: Normally these are brought in from the schematic layer but is you need to add or modify them you can.
Connector Area handle: you can drag this to modify the area in which connector get placed.
Connector handle: you can drag the connector around to any position using this handle.
The Conn Panel Setup button opens this dialog to let you set up the object.
If you're linking to a schematic device then you can select it from this dropdown. That automatically names the panel and sets the correct number of connectors.
Set the size, mounting holes, bezel, label size etc. directly by entering the data here.
Panel templates are a new feature in 2015 . Templates let you use a 2D to-scale drawing of your panel saved as a symbol as the basis of the panel object. If the symbol contains loci for the connector centers then the object can automatically snap connectors to these positions making panel design much faster.

After practicing Yin Yoga for three years, I found that I had grown half an inch taller – surprising in my late fifties! I've been doing yoga for decades, so how did Yin Yoga make me taller?
In Yin Yoga, floor postures such as Frog, Pigeon, and Bound Angle are held from one to 10 minutes.
The effect of gravity, over time, stretches and compresses the denser tissues, pushing out toxins, pulling in nutrients, and tugging on the joints, bones and fascia (connective tissue), especially in the spine, low back, hips, and thighs. Relaxing the muscles allows the joints to stretch toward their complete range of motion.
In Yin Yoga, we relax the muscles in order to stress the joints, thus restoring, enhancing, and preserving the range of motion in the joints. Yin Yoga complements Yang Yoga by rehabilitating and strengthening yin tissues—the bones, ligaments, and fascia: the deeper, denser, more hidden connective tissue.
New evidence shows that fascia is the fabric of life. Fascia is a living crystalline web through which meridians, or nadis, weave the bioelectric signals of vital life force, prana, or chi. Fascia is the body's structural and energetic support system. Fascia binds and protects all the other tissues in the body and offers a medium of conductivity. Yin postures enhance this matrix of matter and energy – the meridian and organ systems – by targeting attention to and moisturizing these psycho-spiritual-emotional-energetic and physical pathways.
Yin poses are still, deep, and quiet. The atmosphere of a Yin Yoga class is unhurried, internal, and relaxed, with a focus on self-exploration and discovery. Students are encouraged to experiment with the poses, since skeletal variation – the proportion and orientation of the bones – is different for each person. Alignment is everything and not the same for every body. Understanding how anatomical differences affect joint mobility helps students to appreciate their own unique range of motion.
Yin Yoga is growing in popularity because everyone can do it. Many students learn to let go of unfairly comparing themselves with models doing pretzel poses on magazine covers. They drop the idea of how the posture is "supposed to" look" in a super-agile, bendy body, or in a mythical image, and awaken to the living relationship of posture to breath. Learning Yin Yoga poses not only helps improve range of motion, it also empowers practitioners toward freedom and choice in all spheres of life.
