Holding a Mirror to Society: Acknowledgment and the Struggle for Indigenous Peoples Rights
Indigenous peoples are still some of the most marginalized and vulnerable communities around the world. In a conflict, they are often some of the most affected as their resource-rich territories are coveted by powerful and violent groups, their identity and loyalty perceived with mistrust, and their basic humanity and rights questioned by warring parties. Outside conflict zones, indigenous groups have been forced to battle the slow erosion of their languages, cultures, and traditions while struggling against the effects of centuries of genocide, colonialism, and exclusion.

In a decision handed down late last week, Judge Alvin Hellerstein of the Southern District of New York denied a motion by an author requesting that a preliminary injunction be issued to prevent publication a number of books that include the word "cocky" in the title.
This spring, author Faleena Hopkins obtained a trademark registration of the word "cocky" in connection with her series of self-published romance novels, each featuring one of her Cocker Brothers characters. Before filing suit, Hopkins sought to block the sale of other romance books that included "cocky" in their title, and sent letters to authors telling them to change the title of their books. Hopkins also asked Amazon to pull other books featuring "cocky" in their titles from sale.
Although Hopkins had obtained her trademark, the law only allows trademarks in limited cases. The law prevents individual titles from being trademarked, only series titles, and allows that common words cannot be trademarked at all, unless they develop an association in the minds of the public with a particular source.
Following Hopkins' letter-writing campaign and contact with Amazon, the Authors Guild and the Romance Writers Association separately requested that Amazon place the removed books back on sale….

Rapper cancels concert due to "unforeseen incarceration"
News outlets report a Polk County jury found Gates guilty of battery after he was captured on cellphone video kicking 19-year-old Miranda Dixon at Lakeland's Rumors Nightclub, where he performed last August.
Dixon, who was in the crowd, testified that she tugged on Gates' pants twice to get his attention for her friend. After the second time, she says Gates kicked her so hard that she fell back and passed out.
Gates' attorney, Jose Baez, argued his client was battered by the woman before he kicked her and that Dixon has a financial motive in the case, saying that she had a civil lawyer.
The New Orleans Advocate (http://bit.ly/2fbtfk9) reports Gates was slated to perform on Voodoo's Pepsi Stage at 8:45 p.m. on Friday. No word yet on who, if anyone, will replace him. He has presumably also scrapped his post-fest show at the House of Blues, which was slated for later Friday night.

To appreciate the Universal Vitar, one must first know how it came to be. Universal Camera Corp., with headquarters in New York City, was founded in 1932 by Otto Githens and Jacob Shapiro. The company produced several cameras during the 1930's and 1940's starting out with less expensive plastic cameras and moving on to better quality, more expensive cameras. The first camera produced was the Model A, a subminiature roll film camera that sold for the amazing sum of $.39 (39 cents!). It became a huge success, selling over two million in the first year alone.
Universal Vitar rear view
Fast forward to the late 1940's. With increased competition and the arrival of both the Stereo Realist and the Polaroid Land Camera, together with unwise business decisions, sales of Universal cameras began to decline rapidly (The Univex Story, Cynthis Repinski, p. 207). By 1950, Universal's employment rolls diminished considerably, from a high of 1200 to less than 200, and it was evident that the company would not survive.
By 1951, Universal had an abundance of leftover parts for cameras that had not sold, so they decided to assemble new models by combining parts of different cameras. They designed three "new" models using the spare parts, one of which was a 35mm camera named Vitar, shown here. The body, viewfinder/extinction meter combination and hot shoe came from the Corsair; the retractable lens barrel and shutter housing from the Buccaneer; lens and shutter from the Uniflex; and various parts of other cameras. Only the name plates were new.
Universal Vitar interior view with right-to-left film transport
The Vitar was equipped with a coated 50mm f/3.5 Universal Tricor lens set in an auto retractable mount with minimum focusing distance of three feet. Other features included double exposure prevention and built-in photoflash synchronization. Shutter speeds range from 1/25 – 1/200 second plus B, and the aperture range is from f/3.5 – f/16. Original list price was $41.00 and it was produced in limited supply, so the Vitar would be a rare find indeed.
In 1952, Universal filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter XI of the Bankruptcy Act. Universal's only remaining operations during the late 1950's and early 1960's consisted of film processing and camera repair. The company ultimately filed for bankruptcy, and in 1964 the final years of the Universal Camera Corp. came to an end.
~ Story and photos by PHSNE member Richard Berbiar
The Univex Story
Largely forgotten as a camera manufacturer, The Univex Story by Cynthia Repinski, Centennial Photo Services, 1991, tells the story of the Universal Camera Corporation, founded in New York in 1932. The book is widely available and highly rated by Goodreads. The book's description states:
"This is a superbly researched and richly illustrated history of the legendary company which flourished in the 1930s through 1950s. Many of the mysteries and rumors surrounding the company are finally brought to light. The narrative is fascinating as it traces the company history from beginning to end. Every camera model is illustrated and its history and development detailed. In addition to the in-depth information on cameras, other Universal products, such as binoculars and military instruments, are included to give a well-rounded view of the company."
While the company's rise and fall as a camera manufacturer ended in the 1950s, the Universal Camera Corp. was immortalized in a labor dispute ruling in 1951 by the United States Supreme Court (Universal Camera Corp. v. NLRB). Justice Felix Frankfurter wrote the opinion establishing a standard for "substantial evidence." The Court found that:
"both the Administrative Procedure Act and the Taft-Hartley Act, which amended the National Labor Relations Act, required that courts consider the whole record. In weighing the substantiality of evidence, courts must thus consider the whole body of evidence, including views opposed to the ultimate decision."
The ruling has stood as the leading case for "substantial evidence" in labor law for over seventy years.

USMNT end five game winless streak with 2-0 victory over Panama
Posted on February 8, 2015 by Louis East in Featured, MLS News, Top Stories, USMNT // 0 Comments
The rot has been stopped. Jurgen Klinsmann and the US Men's National Team ended a five-game winless streak with a comfortable 2-0 victory against Panama on Sunday.
First-half goals from Michael Bradley and Clint Dempsey saw the USA record their first win since a 1-0 friendly victory against the Czech Republic back in September.
Panama were far from threatening but it's important that the USMNT got a win under their belt and the second clean-sheet in seven since the World Cup will also please Klinsmann.
The 3-5-2 system we saw deployed in the first-half against Chile last time out was not tried again as the German coach opted to start with a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Jermaine Jones played in defence again but he looked a lot better than he did against the Chileans and that is a project that is certain to continue through 2015.
Michael Bradley started in a deeper midfield role and controlled the game well. He opened the scoring with a ridiculously good corner that looped over LA Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo and into the net.
Michael Bradley's goal against Panama (via US Soccer on YouTube):
Gyasi Zardes made his first start for the USMNT and impressed throughout as the Galaxy forward thrived at StubHub Center in the USA shirt.
Zardes played a key role in the second goal of the game as he burst into the middle of the field before threading a perfect ball to Clint Dempsey. The Seattle Sounders forward then rounded Penedo before slotting the ball into an empty net.
Clint Dempsey's goal against Panama (via US Soccer on YouTube):
Players will now return to their clubs as the new Major League Soccer season gets underway in less than a month.
One concern to take from the game is that DeAndre Yedlin limped off and headed straight down the tunnel. Spurs fans will hope that it is nothing serious as the pacey fullback has yet to make his debut for the Premier League club since completing his move in January.
The next time we see the USMNT in action will be at the end of March as Klinsmann's side take on Denmark and Switzerland in a pair of tricky fixtures.
What did you make of the USMNT's performance against Panama on Sunday?

The Largest Unethical Medical Experiment in Human History (Monograph)
From Dr. Ronald N. Kostoff
This monograph describes the largest unethical medical experiment in human history: the implementation and operation of non-ionizing non-visible EMF radiation (hereafter called wireless radiation) infrastructure for communications, surveillance, weaponry, and other applications. It is unethical because it violates the key ethical medical experiment requirement for "informed consent" by the overwhelming majority of the participants. The monograph provides background on unethical medical research/experimentation, and frames the implementation of wireless radiation within that context. The monograph then identifies a wide spectrum of adverse effects of wireless radiation as reported in the premier biomedical literature for over seven decades. Even though many of these reported adverse effects are extremely severe, the true extent of their severity has been grossly underestimated. Most of the reported laboratory experiments that produced these effects are not reflective of the real-life environment in which wireless radiation operates. Many experiments do not include pulsing and modulation of the carrier signal, and most do not account for synergistic effects of other toxic stimuli acting in concert with the wireless radiation. These two additions greatly exacerbate the severity of the adverse effects from wireless radiation, and their neglect in current (and past) experimentation results in substantial under-estimation of the breadth and severity of adverse effects to be expected in a real-life situation. This lack of credible safety testing, combined with depriving the public of the opportunity to provide informed consent, contextualizes the wireless radiation infrastructure operation as an unethical medical experiment.

U.S. officials on Thursday charged that Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad has manufactured and deployed new chemical weapons in stark violation of a 2013 agreement, supposedly overseen by Russia, that would eliminate the entire Syrian inventory of weapons of mass destruction.
According to these officials, the Assad regime kept some of its chemical weapons despite copious assurances to the contrary by Russia and the Obama administration. Obama and his top officials spent years boasting they had removed "one hundred percent" of the chemical weapons from Syria, as then-Secretary of State John Kerry claimed, without resorting to military action.
Of course, the repeated use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime long ago made a mockery of these claims. A joint investigative mission of the United Nations and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons found that Syria used chemical weapons in 2014, 2015, and 2017, prompting Russia to use its U.N. Security Council veto to halt the investigation.
Trump administration officials were more specific on Thursday about how Assad was able to preserve part of his stockpile and develop more "evolved" methods of deploying them against citizens in smaller, more precisely targeted amounts. One example provided at the briefing was using ground-launched munitions to disperse sophisticated chemical mixtures, rather than loading WMD into the indiscriminate mass-casualty "barrel bombs" previously favored by the Syrian regime.
"They think they can get away with it if they keep it under a certain level," one official explained.
Concerns were expressed that Assad would continue making these smaller "instrument of terror" strikes against stubborn rebel enclaves. Russian and Iranian assistance appears to have secured Assad in power after years of bloody civil war, but he has been unable to crush the last few pockets of resistance, and they are currently seeking to engage the Syrian government in U.N.-sponsored peace talks, which could yet pose a threat to Assad's power. Russia's attempt to hijack this process and arrange negotiations more favorable to the Syrian regime ended in disaster earlier this week.
The officials said that evidence from recent chemical attacks suggests Assad illegally retained a "continued production capacity" for weapons of mass destruction, and is continuing to produce agents he has deployed in the past, such as chlorine and sarin. They said there was no indication of research into new weapons, which is fortunate because even deadlier chemical mixtures exist.
The U.S. officials also worried that Syria's chemical weapons, and the knowledge of how to use small amounts to carry out effective terror attacks, could spread beyond Syria's borders and threaten the United States. This is especially troubling because the new tactics developed by the Assad regime make it more difficult to trace the origin of chemical attacks.
For this reason, they said the United States "reserves the right to use military force," although the administration believes international sanctions and diplomatic pressure may yet prove effective.
The press briefing was held anonymously by officials who said they were not authorized to speak on the record. On Friday, Secretary of Defense James Mattis said the United States was investigating reports of the Assad regime using sarin gas and accused it of repeatedly using chlorine.
A new chlorine gas attack against the rebel-held Damascus suburb of Eastern Ghouta was reported on Thursday, the third such attack in three weeks. Over 20 civilians, some of them children, were hospitalized with breathing difficulties following a missile strike by regime forces. British-based weapons analyst Elliot Higgins noted the lot number stamped on a recovered missile fragment suggested the weapons came from the same batch used in a suspected chlorine gas attack on the same area on January 22.
"Today Douma woke up breathing chlorine in the western neighborhoods. Only the sun can protect us. The international community has abandoned us," said a local nurse.

Here's the decision on Matalan's bid for a cafe in its Scarborough store


"I had never had a health problem before my diagnosis, so hearing 'you have cancer' came as an incredible shock," she shares.
Within days of her diagnosis, Shelley was informed that she would need to undergo a mastectomy followed by chemotherapy. As she absorbed the information and began to mentally prepare herself for upcoming surgery, her family physician presented her with a unique opportunity.
Without hesitation, Shelley agreed to meet Tara and Nancy – two women who would soon become central to her circle of support.
The trio became fast friends. When they started experiencing the appearance-related effects of chemo, two of them attended a Look Good Feel Better workshop together.
After a great experience with LGFB, they were eager to get involved with other support resources. The three friends were introduced to a local cancer exercise program, Stay Strong, and there they met others, expanding their trio of support to include a network of other women.
Throughout the past two years of treatment, recovery and remission, the group of newfound friends have always been connected through Facebook, texting, calling or hanging out.
Shelley's group has grown as they've been introduced to women from many different resources – in person and online. Although some have never met in real life, they play important roles in each other's lives.
Shelley explains that as a survivor making friendships and connections, you know heartache is possible. But when her group experienced loss, they were more grateful for each other's support than ever.
Although she has always been an outgoing person, Shelley understands that it's not easy for everyone to ask for help or connection from others. Even so, she encourages all women navigating a cancer diagnosis to take that step.
Although attending a LGFB workshop helped with feeling some control over the physical side-effects of treatment, Shelley struggled most with having a mastectomy.
Now in remission and back to her work as a nurse, Shelley is just beginning to feel like the hardest parts of this experience are behind her. She knows that the emotional side of survivorship is something that will always be with her – but she doesn't see this as a weakness.
"After cancer, you will never be the same. You spend so much time diving deep within yourself to get through the experience that you develop a new level of self-awareness. Witnessing the strength and resiliency you possess will give you a newfound confidence and compassion that completely changes your perspective in life," she shares.

Aspiring Ewing Art Critics Participate in Virtual Art Museum Field Trip
Ewing's Leia Jobe transformed her art classroom into an "art museum" and took students on a virtual field trip to learn about museum etiquette, art appreciation, and sketching from reference. Students went on a scavenger hunt to track down real examples of all the elements of art, including color, line, shape, texture, form, space, and value.

The beauty of this horse lies in its simple rendition of intersecting lines. As opposed to Equus I with its flowing lines, Equus II's horse seems stockier and more static in stature. Although less ornate than his "Circus Horse" counterpart, his more textural horse's mane and tail are more interesting. Lines that are left hanging allow the viewer to complete the form identifying it as a horse. This drawing on rock can be found in the Reseaux Clastres Cave in France. Size 23″ x 30″.

Social media marketing has been the topic of discussion for years now. Each year it seems we see a new social media platform pop up, and each year marketers find a new way to use that platform to promote brands. According to Hubspot, 80 percent of social network users prefer to connect with a brand via social media. In fact, 62% of marketers have said that their social media campaigns are more important to the marketing strategy than traditional methods.
Let's say you are the director of a local nonprofit organization. As a nonprofit, you must count every cent you use every day. Since much of your funding goes toward the programs your nonprofit, your marketing budget is close to nothing. How can you get potential donors to help your organization?
Well, there's the traditional methods of media advertising, newspapers, and direct mailings. But that's pretty expensive. After all, a month's worth of television ads could cost you thousands. And who knows if it will actually work. After all, you can spend $2,000 on advertising and only get a few hundred back from donations. Is that worth the price? Plus, you have no control over the content going out. What happens if the newspaper runs your ad but gets your phone number wrong? That's a few hundred dollars you just wasted, even if they give you free advertising to make up for the mistake.
So how else will you get to donors? Well, social media is cheap, it's easy, and you can reach thousands in minutes. And with social media, you can get your results of a new campaign in the time it takes you to click your mouse button. Plus you're in control of your own content. It's your Facebook page, put whatever you like on it! It's also more personal — you connect with the people your foundation is helping. And with a strong social media presence, you will soon see an improvement on your SEO numbers.
Now be aware that we're not saying stick only with social media as your marketing strategy. Why? Well, what about the people who aren't glued to the computer screen 24/7? How will you reach them otherwise? Traditional methods are still very effective today, even with the expense. For example, one of clients used both traditional and social media marketing for its event. When looking over the registration forms for the event, as many people mention that they heard about the event through radio advertising and billboards as did those who said they saw it online.
So if you want to stick with just using social media as a marketing strategy, that's great. But throwing in a little traditional marketing won't hurt your brand any.

A bridge on I-81 bears the name of one of five who will be honored at a dinner for distinguished Chenango Valley Central School District graduates Friday.
Fallen New York State Police Trooper Christopher Skinner, who graduated from Chenango Valley High School in 1989, will be recognized during Chenango Valley's Distinguished Alumni Recognition Reception and Auction at the DoubleTree Hotel in Binghamton.
Skinner was a 13-year veteran of the state police force when he was killed in the line of duty in 2014. A bridge spanning Route 11 of I-81 from exit 7 was named in his honor August 31.
For the dinner Friday, tickets cost $35 each for the 6 p.m. event.
The first hour and fifteen minutes of the ceremony will be a meet-and-greet with the honorees over appetizers and a cash bar, said Chuck Purce, the district's Director of Guidance who is in charge of the event.
Last year, they saw about 185 attendees, he said.
Before the honorees are recognized, the event features an auction to benefit the school's student loan program. The program provides $700 interest-free loans to students graduating from the district. Students pay back $50 a month for the loans over a flexible period of time, Purce said.
"It's something that the kids can handle and we don't pressure them for more," he said.
The auction also provides money for senior scholarships given out at the end of the school year.
Erin Skinner, Christopher Skinner's daughter who is in 9th grade at Chenango Valley High School, will speak about her father before the honorees are announced, Purce said.
The three new honorees that will each speak at the event are:
Captain Hubert Walling, MS, who is a class of 1965 graduate from the Maine Maritime Academy. Now an associate professor of Marine Transportation at Texas A & M Maritime Academy, he was commissioned as Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve. He is also the founder and President of H. Walling Maritime Associates, LLC, a maritime industry consulting business
Jennifer Quinn DeMarco, a class of 1997 graduate, who in 2010 founded a barre fitness studio company in Hoboken, New Jersey, that has expanded to three locations — one of which include cycling studios. She oversees around 60 employees as CEO of the company and she direct's the company's branding and management.
Lt. Col. Eric Hannis, a class of 1986 graduate who served in a variety of national security roles as a senior staffer on Capital Hill, as a U.S. Air Force Officer, and as an official in the Pentagon. He currently works as the Senior Manager for International Military and Civil Space Programs at the Raytheon Company in Washington, D.C. Hannis also serves as a Senior Fellow for Defense Studies at the Washington think tank American Foreign Policy Council and as a Senior Fellow at the Alexander Hamilton Institute for the Study of Western Civilization
On Friday, the honorees will speak to students at the district's middle and will also tour the school to see the changes since they graduated, Purce said.
As in years past, two Chenango Valley community members will be honored for their service to the district during the ceremony Friday evening, Purce said. The community member honorees this year are Barbara and Terrence Kane, who have been district residents for 15 years. Both have served on the district's board of education, with Barbara Kane serving as president, and have served on many community boards outside of being owners and operators of the Chenango Commons.
"They have been a very supportive behind-the-scenes family here," Purce said.
Tickets for the dinner and auction can be purchased until Thursday by calling 607-762-6810 or emailing munderwood@ccsd.stier.org.
What: 10th annual Chenango Valley Alumni Recognition Reception and Auction
Where: DoubleTree Hotel, 225 Water Street, Binghamton
When: Oct. 30 at 6 p.m.
Cost: $30 per ticket
What's included: A ceremony in which each of the distinguished graduates gives a speech, hors d'oeuvres, prime rib and roast turkey carving stations, montage of fruits & cheeses, desserts, and a cash bar


Okay. So I'm a big wrestling fan. And on sky on showcase my wrestling show FNUK: international pro wrestling was on there but I can't seem to find it on virgin?
I don't believe Showcase is available via Virgin.
Showcase is a satellite channel that offers prospective groups the chance to "buy airtime slots" to see if their programming ideas work. As the channel is run on a shoestring because of the content it carries, the likelihood of it A) Buying a cable licence from OFCOM or B) paying Virgin for carriage, is virtually non existant.
Then you need a satellite dish, & either a Sky, Freesat or European Free-to-Air receiver box.
Hi DollxFace, thanks for posting and welcome to the community.
Haha no worries buddy, you looking forward to Wrestlemania?
i have a show in Leighton buzzard this weekend! So excited!!
I missed IPW in MK on Wednesday!
Nice yeah I do think Wrestling is on the cusp of another boom period again, especially with AEW coming up. I hope they announce a TV deal soon as that really would be epic.

About / Florence Nightingale Foundation Clinical Professors of Nursing/Midwifery
The Statement of Purpose of the Foundation is that, as a living memorial to Florence Nightingale, it advances the study of nursing and midwifery and promotes excellence in practice. It does this by conferring scholarships which enable nurses and midwives to extend their knowledge and skills to meet the changing needs of patient and healthcare.
The Foundation now has a network of Florence Nightingale Foundation Clinical Professors of Nursing and Midwifery. Each Clinical Professor has a joint appointment with a university and NHS organisation or Health Board.
This network is geographically separate but with a common purpose to pursue clinical research knowledge and work systematically to disseminate research findings, encourage the adoption and implementation of research evidence thereby promoting good practice in patient care. They also create nursing and midwifery clinical academic capability and capacity in their organisations.
They will support this year's FNF Research Interns.

She is internationally recognised for her work in CRPS. She is the clinical lead of a multi-disciplinary team that provide national NHS services for those with CRPS and for those with complex late effects from cancer treatments.
The central core of her research is focused on the relationship between the sensory and motor systems and pain; what part they may play in the development and perpetuation of pain; and how they can be modified to relieve pain. As a previous recipient of an NIHR Career Development Fellowship, Candy is passionate about promoting clinical academic careers for nurses and midwives.
Candy is a member of a number of national and international committees in the specialties of rheumatology and pain, is a Director of the International Research Consortium for CRPS, immediate past-Chair of the International Association for the Study of Pain Special Interest Group for CRPS, and past president of the British Health Professionals in Rheumatology.
Professor Vivien Coates is jointly appointed between Ulster University, the Western Health and Social Care Trust (WHSCT) in Northern Ireland and the Florence Nightingale Foundation, UK.
The focus of her work is in the management of long-term conditions, from both the perspectives of health care professionals and those living with the condition. She leads the Research Centre: Managing Chronic Illness in which she has a specific interest in developing the evidence base for the management of diabetes. Within the WHSCT her remit is to develop evidence based practice. Currently she leads a range of research projects and service innovations particularly relating to care of those with dementia and diabetes.
She has developed person and public involvement (PPI) partnerships consulting about research ideas and priorities through to involvement in data gathering, in conjunction with a range of agencies including Diabetes UK.
She has experience in a range of quantitative and qualitative methodologies including the design and management of clinical trials for complex behavioural interventions, including process evaluation.

Will Warner Bros. ever release the Zack Snyder version of "Justice League" (or better known as the "Snyder Cut")??? I hope they do and they should!!!
November 18, 2019 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
So now that director Zack Snyder and Ben Affleck has officially joined the "Snyder Cut" movement, will Warner Bros. soon release the Snyder version of the latest "Justice League"???
I haven't been following this story much so I thought I would finally look into it and post my thoughts. I believe what led to this movement is that Zack Snyder filmed a much longer version of the film "Justice League"… I've read that Snyder's version was much more than 3 hrs. long. About three and a half hour long film, I think. It turned out that Warner Bros. hated the Snyder version so much that they didn't want to release it at all. That's how director Joss Whedon came in to take over for re-shoots and re-writes so therefor, the Joss Whedon version of "Justice League" brought the film down to a two hour film.
Once Joss Whedon's version of "Justice League" came out in theaters, it received mostly negative criticism by fans. This sparked interest of DC/Warner fans that they think Warner Bros. should release the Snyder cut 'cause they might think the Snyder version would be a lot better. The "Snyder Cut" movement has been going on through social media for a long time now. Jason Momoa already expressed interest in the "Snyder Cut". Now Zack Snyder himself and Ben Affleck joined the movement.
Even though Snyder directed the original version all by himself, it's not all up to him to release it publicly since it's Warner Bros.'s film so it's their prerogative whether or not they want to release it. Even Kevin Smith wants the Snyder Cut released.
Even though I have no problem with Joss Whedon's theatrical release of "Justice League" as I think it's pretty good, I really hope Warner Bros. releases the Snyder version. I think we deserve to see Snyder's take on the "Justice League" film like it was originally intended, ya know? Warner Bros. may hate the Snyder version but that doesn't mean the rest of us will hate it. They should make a DVD/BluRay exclusive release of Snyder's version, I don't see why not?
I know Snyder's: "Man of Steel" and "B vs. S: Dawn of Justice" got mixed reviews but I fuckin' LOVED both of those films. I thought both were really good and still stand by it. I think the Snyder version of "Justice League" would be really good too. The reason I loved the Dawn of Justice film so much is that I thought they told the Death of Superman and Doomsday story so well which people don't get. That story finally deserved to get told on the big screen and "Dawn of Justice" did just that. Plus "Dawn of Justice" was a badass action film too.
With that being said, I hope Warner Bros. does the smart thing and lets all see it 'cause we deserve to see it. We just gotta keep pressuring them.

Full "Justice League" trailer is finally out and it looks freakin' awesome! Hell yeah!!!
July 22, 2017 Kev Brock	4 Comments
While San Diego Comic Con is underway this weekend, WB's decided to drop the "Justice League" trailer today. So here it is, the full trailer for "Justice League".
I'm pretty impressed with it really. I really liked "Man of Steel", "Wonder Woman" and "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice". I thought all three were great flicks! All three of those films were leading up to the "Justice League" film. While all the advertisements omitted Superman, I believe they finally included him in this trailer above. The trailer teases Superman's return. I believe that's who Alfred was talking to when he was talking to a character "off-screen"… that was Clark Kent/Superman who Alfred was talking to; that was Henry Cavill's voice, indeed.
So when are we actually going to see Superman in action in the film? Probably not until the very end of the movie I would say. Throughout the movie, they would keep teasing that Superman is alive and then we'll see him at the end. Superman will join the Justice League group at the end of the movie. It's not really a "spoiler" 'cause everybody probably knows that's what's going to happen anyways.
Anyhow, I'm pretty stoked for the movie. This is one movie that I'm most anticipated for this year other than "Star Wars: Episode 8", "Stephen King's The Dark Tower", "IT" and "Jigsaw" (Saw 8).
Can't wait for "Justice League". Definitely going to see this one.

Zack Snyder backs out of directing "Justice League" film after suicide of his daughter…
May 23, 2017 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
"Justice League" director Zack Snyder is going through a bit of a tragedy himself. His 20 year old daughter committed suicide back in March. Why did he make this news public for the whole world to see now? Well, he wants to help bring awareness to suicide which seems to be a problem more and more these days.
Zack and his wife had to pull out of filming 'cause they're going through some difficult times. Joss Whedon immediately stepped in to finish the rest of the film.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/zack-snyder-raises-awareness-suicide-prevention-family-tragedy-1006958
Sad. Thoughts and prayers go out to the Snyder family too. I don't think you'll see Snyder directing a movie for a long time. He's probably gonna take a long hiatus from Hollywood.
Most of the "Justice League" movie is pretty much finished, the article says that Whedon needs to film additional scenes and do the post-production part of it. Post-production meaning editing, special effects, sounds, musical scores, etc.
I am looking forward to seeing "Justice League", though. Can't wait to see it. I'm sure it'll be way better than "Man of Steel" and "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice".

"Justice League" trailer is finally here but where is Superman??? My guesses are here… ***Possible spoilers***
March 25, 2017 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
***Possible Spoilers below***
The reason WB hasn't been advertising Superman in the new "Justice League" movie even though Henry Cavill is still casted as Superman in the film is 'cause Superman is dead. At least he's faking it.
Remember in "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice", Superman was killed by Doomsday at the end of it. At the end of the film, we see dirt rising off the casket giving us a hint that Superman is actually alive still.
At the end of "Dawn of Justice", Bruce Wayne says to Wonder Woman, "We have to stand together". Meaning they are about to form the new Justice League 'cause Bruce Wayne/Batman can't save the world by himself without Superman, ya know? That's why he's forming Justice League.
My prediction in "Justice League" is that we won't see Superman for most of the entire movie. We won't see Superman 'til the very end of the film. When the Justice League group are in trouble toward the end of the film, that's when Superman will finally appear and save the day.
With that being said, though, "Justice League" looks fuckin' badass and I'm gonna go see it for sure. Can't wait!

James Wan to direct "Aquaman" movie for DC/Warner Bros…
June 3, 2015 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
James Wan is mostly famous as a horror film director but look like he's finally getting tired of horror films and wants to do different genres. He has directed a few action movies in his career with action films such as "Death Sentence" starring Kevin Bacon and he just directed "Fast & Furious 7". Now he's set to direct another action film which is gonna be the "Aquaman" which will star Jason Momoa in the leading role.
You can expect the "Aquaman" live-action movie to be full of water all over so there's gonna be a lot of underwater scenes and above water scenes. That's because I believe that Aquaman can only survive in water, I think he can survive outside of water but not for long. I don't know much about Aquaman but I'm just doing a little googling on the character. He does have super strength and he can control all sea life meaning that he can control all sea animals like fish, sharks, whales, etc.
So I think this is gonna be an interesting movie and looking forward to seeing how James is gonna pull it off. Expect the movie to be full of CGI, though.

Here is what former "Game of Thrones" star Jason Momoa looks like as Aquaman for the upcoming "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" and "The Justice League" films.
I love it! Zack definitely knows what he's doing. To be honest, Jason still looks like his "Game of Thrones" character, Khal Drogo but meaner and tougher!!!
Can't wait for "Dawn of Justice"!!!!

Zack Snyder confirmed to direct "Justice League" film which is no surprise…
April 28, 2014 Kev Brock	Leave a comment
I had a feeling that Zack Snyder was going to get the opportunity to direct, "Justice League" film.
I know "Man of Steel" got mixed reviews but I thought "Man of Steel" was an excellent film. I never understood the mixed reviews of the first "Man of Steel". I thought the film was well-done. It was realistic, heartfelt, action-packed, etc. Just like a Superman movie is supposed to be. I'm also looking forward to "Batman vs. Superman" too.
I know Zack's casting choices are really weird but it's just his way of keeping his Superman re-boot as original as possible. It's just his way of trying to keep away from the Richard Donner/Christopher Reeve universe, know what I mean? He's just trying to keep it different as possible.
Now that they got casting for the new Batman (Ben Affleck) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot). I wonder who they're gonna get for the Flash and the Green Lantern? I'm sure they'll find people for those two characters soon.

Another major brand has trusted T. Freemantle Ltd to provide packaging machinery for their products. The machine is a top load carton erector producing small top load cartons for the Fisherman's Friend multipack boxes. The cartons have a large cut out to allow for the contents to be seen through the side of the pack. The pack features the distinctive Fisherman's Friend brown hatched branding which required a perfectly square and consistent pack presentation to maintain the continuity of this hatching around the pack. The machine operates within a footprint of less than two metres square and produces cartons at a rate of 40 per minute.


The dining and living room are areas in our home dedicated to conviviality, but also a private refuge in which we are dedicating to our own passions and relaxing moments. But how to create the right atmosphere?
Francesco Pasi, the known Italian brand of luxury furniture, presents Ellipse Bar Cabinet, a unique piece of furniture with an exclusive refinement, which completes and makes precious the design of the living and dining area. Characterized by a structure made of solid walnut wood, doors and drawers in rosewood, available in several colors – Ellipse bar cabinet is perfectly suitable to accommodate wines, drinks, and spirits.
The two doors divided in compartments contain equipped spaces to place glasses and chalices. The central part, besides having four useful drawers to set instruments for cocktails or for wine and spirits decantation, is composed of two columns where to display the bottles in horizontal position. The internal back panel is available in mirror, varnished or upholstered in velvet, such as the drawers' inners. The bar cabinet is also lighted with LED which automatically turn on when opening the doors.
On the external façade, the protagonist is the Ellipse, leitmotiv of the whole collection. Besides being a decorative element, it is also a handle; it can be realized in every kind of marble, from Dark to Light Emperador, from Grey Stone to Onyx. Not only valuable wood and marble, but Ellipse Bar Cabinet is lighted also by metal inserts in chrome, brilliant or matt gold and matt nickel. A piece of furniture which explores the dimensions of different volumes and chiaroscuro, enriching the room with suggestions and handicraft mastery, besides being a practical and functional, wonderful protagonist of the contemporary living designs.

Finding the Next Big Thing
Just because a person retires doesn't mean they stop working. This was the case for Ian McCulloch who had big plans for his life after retirement. An avid gin drinker, Ian dreamed of owning his own distillery. He devised a plan, started looking for partners and a conversation at the local pub with James Shelbourne set the wheels in motion to what is known today as Silent Pool Distillers.
The two searched for some time to find the right location. They wanted it to be close to a natural water source and eventually they came upon Silent Pool, a spring-fed, chalk-filtered body of water in the Surrey Hills of the UK. On the banks of the pool were a number of old farm buildings which Ian and James believed could be converted for their venture.
There was one catch though. The farm buildings, land and pool were part of the Duke of Northumberland's Albury Estate. Fortunately for Ian and James the Duke of Northumberland is a gin lover too. They were able to meet with the Duke and he agreed to let them use the land and rebuild all the farm buildings for the distilleries.
So, Silent Pool Distillers opened its doors in 2014 and has been growing its business ever since.
Trying to Swim in Shallow Waters
In the beginning, ecommerce was not a big channel for Silent Pool Distillers. They actually started off with a small scale hosting package on WooCommerce that, unfortunately, came with problems. They lost business because of outages and incurred resource costs to resolve the issues. As traffic volume increased, server capacity repeatedly needed to be upgraded.
"The operational management and reporting capabilities of the platform was limited and could no longer meet our growing business needs," said Darren Macaskill, Head of Brand and Marketing at Silent Pool Distillers. "However, since moving to BigCommerce and navigating our way through COVID in 2020, it's become an integral part of our business."
Selecting a Platform with Depth
As Silent Pool Distillers began to assess ecommerce providers, they looked for a solution that would simplify operations and be easy to use.
"We wanted to be relieved of the burden of the technical management of our website including capacity, security and update issues. We knew a software as a solution (SaaS) platform would address this for us," said Macaskill.
Silent Pool Distillers looked at a number of providers, including Magento and Shopify and chose BigCommerce.
"In addition to SaaS, we also needed the flexibility of a cohesive ecosystem with apps and tools that would work as our business grew and as our requirements became more complex. We felt we could achieve this with BigCommerce," said Macaskill.

Building a Diverse and Healthy Ecosystem
Without concern for server capacity, continuity of service or having to risk major technology investment, Silent Pool Distillers has been able to manage the significant growth in online traffic and sales that came from the COVID lockdowns.
The flexibility and openness of BigCommerce enabled Silent Pool Distillers to develop its online store using multiple apps and integrations to create a connected and interactive ecosystem. These apps and integrations include, but are not limited to:
Channel Grabber for order processing and shipping integration
Google Shopping to drive more shoppers to its BigCommerce store by seamlessly connecting to Google, Bing, Facebook and Instagram
Zakeke to allow customers to customise the products they purchase
Vend for point of sale (POS) processing to sell, track and manage inventory
Bevica an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for beverage management
A New Channel of Income Feeds into Silent Pool Distillers
New challenges can bring new opportunities if you're proactive and seize them. With the lockdown causing pubs and restaurants to close, Silent Pool Distillers ramped up its efforts to generate income by selling direct to customer (DTC) on BigCommerce.
"Selling directly to customers is a profitable channel because there's no middleman," said Macaskill. "For 2020, we increased online sales 5-fold (YoY)."

Taking the Plunge in 2021
In 2021, Silent Pool Distillers is looking to take the plunge by expanding its spirits production beyond gin. These products will be sold under different brand names, supported by multi-store capabilities on BigCommerce.
Silent Pool Distillers also has plans to expand its international market reach. In the near future distilled spirits connoisseurs in the United States, Japan, Germany, Italy, Australia and parts of Asia Pacific may all soon be enjoying a fine beverage made from the cool, crisp waters of the Duke of Northumberland's Silent Pool.

Discussion in 'Street, Documentary, and Portrait' started by thinkcooper, Mar 20, 2012.
I've put together a Fire Arts festival here in Santa Cruz that is mid-way though the full schedule. We were supposed to be complete last Friday night, but rain put a kink in our plans. We held the indoor portion of the event but rescheduled the industrial fire arts portion for this upcoming Friday - the 23rd.
I had some time on the 16th to capture some portraits and images of friends and performers. The setup? E-P3/Oly 9-18 with a bracket mounted, cable connected FL-50R shot through an Opteka diffuser.
