Воллес Фіцджеральд Бірі (; 1 квітня 1885 — 15 квітня 1949) — американський актор, лауреат премії «Оскар». За свою кар'єру, яка тривала близько 40 років, Бірі знявся майже у 250 фільмах.

Ранні роки
Бірі народився в окрузі Клей, Міссурі біля Смітвіля. Наймолодший син Ноя Вебстера Бірі (1856—1937) і Френсіс Маргарет Фіцджеральд (1859—1931), він і його брати Вільям і Ной стали голлівудськими акторами. Сім'я Бірі покинула ферму в 1890-х роках і переїхав до сусіднього Канзас-Сіті, штат Міссурі, де батько працював поліцейським.

Воллес Бірі вивчився в школі полювання в Канзас-Сіті і брав уроки гри на фортепіано.

Кар'єра
Воллес Бірі приєднався до свого брата Ноя в Нью-Йорку в 1904 році, знайшовши роботу баритона в комічній опері і почав з'являтися на Бродвеї. Його перша відома роль була в 1907 році, коли він грав головну роль в п'єсі «Американський турист». У 1913 році, він переїхав в Чикаго, щоб працювати з Essanay Studios. Пізніше, він працював для Essanay Studios, що переїхала в Фрімонт, Каліфорнія.

У 1915 році, Бірі знявся з дружиною Глорією Свенсон у фільмі «Свіді йде в коледж». Бірі почав грати лиходіїв, а в 1917 знявся в ролі Панчо Вілья в «Батьківщина» в той час, коли Вілья ще жив в Мексиці. Бірі повторно виконав роль через сімнадцять років в кінокомпанії MGM.

Відомі німі фільми Воллеса Бірі включають екранізацію Артура Конана Дойля «Загублений світ» (1925), Робін Гуд з Дугласом Фербенксом (1922), Останній з Могікан (1920), Підсумок новин (1920; з Роско Арбаклом), Старі броненосці (1926), Зараз ми в повітрі (1927), Звичайний спосіб (1913) і Жебраки життя (1928), з Луїзою Брукс.

Перехід на звук
Бірі з потужним басовим голосом і умисне розтягуючи слова став дуже популярним на зорі звукового кіно, Ірвінг Тальберг найняв його за контрактом з Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Бірі грав дикого засудженого «Бутча», роль спочатку призначена для Лона Чейні-старшого, у вельми успішному фільмі 1930 року Казенний будинок, за який він був номінований на премію Оскар за найкращу чоловічу роль. У тому ж році, він знявся у фільмі Мін і Білл (разом з Марі Дресслер). Він отримав золоту медаль на Венеціанському кінофестивалі за роль Панчо Вільї в «Хай живе Вілья!» (1934) з Фей Рей. Протягом 1930-х Бірі був одним з Топ-10 касових зірок Голлівуду, і в одному пункті його контракту з MGM зазначив, що його гонорар має бути на $1 більшим за будь-якого іншого актора в студії, роблячи його вище всіх інших акторів.

Він знявся в декількох комедіях з Марі Дресслер і Марджорі Мейн, але його кар'єра пішла на спад в його останнє десятиліття. У 1943 його брат Ной Бірі з'явився з ним у фільмі військової пропаганди Салют морської піхоти, а потім Негідник Баскомб (1946) і Могутній Макгурк (1947). Його фільми були особливо популярні в Південних регіонах США, особливо в малих містах і селищах.

Особисте життя
Перша дружина Бірі була актриса Глорія Свенсон; вони знімалися на екрані разом. Хоча Бірі користувався популярністю, його майбутня популярність ще не прийшла, і під час шлюбу з Свенсон, він спирався на неї, як на годувальника. Друга дружина Бірі була Ріта Гілман. Обидва шлюби закінчилися розлученням.

Бірі володів і літав на власному літаку, Howard DGA-8.

У грудні 1939, неодружений Бірі прийняв семимісячне немовля, Філліс Енн. Фотографії Філліс з'явилася в MGM, але ніколи не згадувався знову. Бірі повідомив пресі, що він взяв дівчинку від матері-одиначки, яка недавно розлучилася, але не представив жодних офіційних паперів прийняття. Ніякої додаткової інформації стосовно дитини не існує, і вона не згадується в некролозі Бірі.

Одне з його найбільш досягнень те, що він зловив найбільшого чорного морського окуня в світі на острові Санта-Каталіна в 1916 році, рекорд, який підтримував протягом 35 років.

Примітний епізод у житті Бірі відображений в 5-му епізоді Кена Бернса, в його документальному фільмі «Національні парки: Найкращі ідеї Америки»: У 1943 році президент Франклін Д. Рузвельт підписав розпорядження про створення Гранд-Тітон (національний парк), щоб захистити землю, що примикає до Гранд-Тітон у Вайомінгу. Місцеві фермери, обурені втратою пасовищних угідь, порівнювали дії влади із захопленням Гітлером Австрії. Вони протестували на чолі з старіючим Бірі.

Смерть
Воллес Бірі помер у своєму домі в Беверлі-Гіллз, штат Каліфорнія від серцевого нападу, 15 квітня 1949 року. Він був похований на Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, в Глендейлі, штат Каліфорнія.

Byron York Misquotes Me
And this, after I sat next to him all morning. I didn't, to be fair, recognize him till the session's end. I'd never seen York, and wasn't alerted to his famous bouffant ahead of time, so I hadn't known I was brushing such famous knees until I happened to catch sight of his nametag towards the morning's close. At which point, we had a real moment: "We're gonna give you some color," I laughed. He sort of grunted in reply. Sort of.
The session was a CAP-run workshop on how to best comport yourself in front of television cameras. They spent an hour or so explaining how to sit, how to speak, how to stay on message, and then had folks cycle through a mock interview which was then replayed on a projector and critiqued by the instructor's. I've been doing a fair amount of TV and radio these days, so I volunteered for the public interrogation. My topic? Health care. I am, after all, here in Vegas to participate on a health care panel.
My performance was brilliant, transcendent, inspiring. What a shame I hadn't stolen the tape! When the politely hostile host challenged that I was advocating socialism (in that interview, unlike in my writings, I'd advocated no such thing), I saw no reason to fight. It was just a training session, right? "We should stop running from that moniker," I chuckled. "If we're going to call what Canada, France, Germany, England, Japan, and essentially every -- actually, not essentially, just every -- other industrialized nation offers socialized health care, but they cover all of their citizens with better outcomes and lower costs than we do, then I'm happy to associate myself with that." It was glorious, and I'm only slightly paraphrasing -- at least I remember the "essentially" correction. So imagine my relief to see it on The National Review's website:
One blogger wanted to talk about health care. After his criticism of the Bush administration, Trainer 2 asked, "You're looking for socialized medicine?"
"Sure, why not?" the man answered. "I think it's time people stopped ducking from the moniker socialized medicine. Every other industrialized nation on this planet has socialized medicine. I'm happy to associate myself with that label and that school of thought."
There was applause all around. That was great, said Trainer 1. It was an example of bloggers speaking their minds: "Yeah, socialized medicine, bring it on."
Never said "that school of thought." Never said "bring it on." My international rollcall -- gone. And where is my quick list of the outcomes that underlie my support? The quote...so wrong...somebody call a blogger ethics panel! In any case, I am a proud advocate of semi-socialized medicine, semi because I prefer a multi-payer system a la France. And if York's interested in making me something less than a 2D confirmation of his reader's expectations, I'd be happy to debate him on health care, or write a piece extolling socialized medicine's virtues for his magazine, or just see him read through my extensive archives on the subject. Maybe this is the real story of YearlyKos -- here, the anecdotes can talk back.
In any case, if York is unwilling to put in the work or effort demanded by my more substantive offers -- all of which are serious and in good faith -- he's still welcome to attend my health care panel tomorrow at 9:30. But only if he promises to quote me correctly.
Update: On rereading, York was quoting "bring it on" from the trainer. He still completely changed the wording and deleted the countries and outcomes portions of my quote, the effect of which was to make it look like I simply supported socialism, and everyone simply clapped for that. The point here is that you've got fish in a barrel -- why use dynamite?

An unsteady first step
Trading in energy-efficiency certificates faces major hurdles
NEXT BLOG ❯
By Umashankar S
Published: Wednesday 15 December 2010
It is increasingly becoming evident that the world may not be ready for a binding international climate treaty at the ongoing climate summit in Cancun, Mexico. Global attention is now shifting towards domestic policies in the major economies.
Japan and South Korea plan to launch their own versions of national emissions trading scheme, while China is mixing command- and-control and clean energy promotion schemes to meet its energy intensity targets. The US is caught in a do-nothing trap and the EU is playing hide-and-seek to move towards its 30 per cent emission reductions target.
Amid these half-hearted but encouraging measures we also hear India is making noises about the launch of its domestic climate policy initiative, Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme. To be launched in April 2011, the PAT scheme—announced as part of the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE)—is touted to be India's version of a responsible citizens' action on climate mitigation.
As per the new blueprint, specific energy consumption (SEC) targets are to be fixed for large energy-guzzling installations in the country and credits called Energy Saving Certificates, or ESCerts, issued for those exceeding their goals. ESCerts can be sold to installations which fail to meet their required cuts, thereby forming a new market-based mechanism over a period of time.
The Bureau of Energy Efficiency, with German agency GTZ, plans to cover 700 installations in nine sectors—thermal power, cement, steel, fertilisers, aluminium, chlor-alkali, paper, textiles and railways. It claims 10 million tonnes of oil equivalent of energy savings is expected by 2015. Besides, it claims the scheme will aid in energy security, technology upgrade and lower environmental impacts. However, a closer look at the policy design shows pitfalls.
Essentially PAT will be structured on the basis of unit-level benchmarking of energy used per unit of output, that is, SEC. This can vary widely across two units making the same product, but with different manufacturing processes. It can also vary among old and new plants that have different plant sizes, capacity utilisation levels and grades of raw material used.
This could well mean a number of outdated public sector factories are to be clubbed with their private counterparts. Over time it could emerge that due to wide performance variations, public sector undertakings (PSU) mostly end up buying credits generated from private entities.
Any attempts by BEE to soften targets for PSUs will create doubts about fair play, lower price of the certificate, or disrupt the scheme altogether. Second, since the scheme is devised on energy consumption alone, benefits gained from CO2 emissions due to types of fuels used are ignored. As a result, units may not be able to claim their due for using a low-carbon but expensive fuel like natural gas or renewable biomass.
One may argue that using such fuels depends on availability and infrastructure, but discounting higher environmental benefit may harm long-term promotion of low-carbon fuels. Third, mechanisms for price stability are yet to be announced. When asked, a senior government official admitted that the government under international pressure announced a scheme hastily in 2008, even before working out modalities. Now it is left to the staff to physically measure individual baselines for hundreds of factories within a short span and prepare a face-saving mechanism.
Thorough, unbiased research is needed on PAT's environmental, economic and social implications. Uniform benchmarking, modest carbon taxation, among others need to be explored. The announcement of a national clean energy cess of Rs 50 (US $1) per tonne of coal in the 2010-11 budget indicates that the alternative policy ideas for climate mitigation are indeed not out-of-bounds.

Granola and laundry couldn't be more different. But last year Spectrum Designs expanded its brand into two additional nonprofit entities—Spectrum Suds and Spectrum Bakes. While both Suds and Bakes act as learning experiences for the Nicholas Center, Spectrum hopes to employ one individual with Autism in both entities by next year, and begin to grow the nonprofit similar to Spectrum Designs, where 75 percent of employees are on the Autism Spectrum.
Currently, participants in Spectrum Suds and Bakes come from the Nicholas Center, whose mission is to assist people with Autism in leading full, productive and meaningful lives. Participants rotate throughout the day through Suds, Bakes and Designs to learn a bit about each area. The hope for Suds and Bakes—and of course, Designs—is that once the participants age out of the program, the nonprofit will hire them in areas they enjoy and excel in.
While Suds and Bakes are quite different, both were chosen as the additional brands because they each have a clear-cut process, explained co-founder and CEO Patrick Bardsley.
In Bakes, participants follow the process of following a recipe for granola-based products, baking the products and then packaging them. Bakes offers products like Cups of Love filled with signature granola, chocolate granola bite tins, granola bars and Socially Good Wishes Boxes filled with granola bars and bites, chocolate covered pretzels, mints, a mug, candle and card.
For residents, the service is $1 per pound and that includes the delivery.

Kit Monkman makes films, installations and public artworks that investigate the relationship between the audience and the performer.
Most recently Kit has devised and directed a new, feature-length, film version of Macbeth.
Working with long time collaborator Tom Wexler under the banner of KMA, Kit and Tom have developed a new genre of interactive work that has built them an international reputation. Their large scale works (e.g. Congregation (2010)), which seek to create emotionally resonant, impromptu public theatre by encouraging, and developing, interactions between people in public spaces using digitally-controlled projections, have been exhibited in numerous public spaces including Shanghai World Expo, Tate Britain, and Trafalgar Square.
Beginning with eng-er-land, their successful 2005 dance-theatre collaboration with choreographer Darshan Singh Bhuller, Kit and Tom have also designed for numerous contemporary dance shows including DV8's To Be Straight with You. Throughout these collaborations their work has developed and retained a distinct visual aesthetic.
Kit and Tom have also adapted their experimental visual approach for use in large scale music events. They recently designed Paolo Nutini's UK Arena Tour (previous clients have included Prince, London Grammar and The Brit Awards).

Q: Event after option from dropdown menu is chosen i have some data in data-attributes of dropdown menu options, and i need access to them, every time user picks one of the options. here's my html

Title

Kind<select class="select optional" id="poster_kind_id" name="poster[kind_id]"><option role="kind" type="Category" value="1">Praca</option>
    <option role="kind" type="Subcategory" value="1">alfons</option>
    <option role="kind" type="Subcategory" value="2">dziwka</option>
    <option role="kind" type="Category" value="2">Handel</option>
    <option role="kind" type="Subcategory" value="3">koks</option>
    <option role="kind" type="Subcategory" value="4">meta</option></select>

i tried this approach
$('[data-role="kind"]').click ->
        kindType = $(this).data("type")
        $("[data-role='kind']").val(kindType)

but it is not working, nothing happens when i click on the list

A: To get the selected text try the following:
  $(document).ready(function(){
      $('#poster_kind_id').change(function() {
        var idx = $("#poster_kind_id option:selected").text();
    var type= $("#poster_kind_id option:selected").attr("type");  // to get the type
         alert(idx);
    });

    });

A: you can use change event of the dropdown.just add a function and call it on the onchange event of the control
function SelectDropdown(){
    var idx = $("#poster_kind_id option:selected").text();
     alert(idx);
}

UC Merced Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Role of Spatial Structure and Memory in Human Foraging
Author(s): Kerster, Bryan Elvis
Advisor(s): Kello, Christopher
Foraging is an essential process for all mobile organisms. It allows organisms to locate resources such as food and mates. There is a long history of research on animal foraging in the ecology literature and recent work in cognitive science has revealed similarities between cognitive search behaviors and animal foraging behaviors. This gives rise to the possibility of bringing the rich animal foraging literature to bear on cognitive search processes. Historically there have been several major approaches to the study and modeling of foraging animals. One approach is known as optimal foraging theory which is focused on optimizing the amount of time an organism spends foraging a single location before moving on to another location. Another is an expansion on that approach which operationalizes those ideas into a spatial model known as area-restricted search. A third approach is known as the Lévy flight hypothesis. It focuses on the longer term distributional properties of foraging animals, and optimizes coverage of a given search space.
These approaches all make assumptions about environmental conditions faced by foraging organisms. The degree of resource sparsity and clustering in a foraging environment are believed to be important, but it is unclear how they affect foraging behaviors. Additionally spatial memory is a key concept important to animal search strategies, but is frequently ignored in the existing literature. For this dissertation, a series of experiments utilized a web-based foraging game to test how these variables affect foraging behaviors. The first experiment demonstrated that the degree of clustering in the environment had a significant impact on search strategies, and provided qualitative evidence that memory played a role in people's search behaviors. The experiments revealed distributional patterns very similar to those predicted by the Lévy flight approach. The second experiment refined the method and directly tested memory cues and a broader range of resource densities. This experiment revealed results similar to the first with the addition of significant effects of both memory cues and resource density. This dissertation then discusses a model that combined key concepts from both optimal foraging and Lévy foraging to produce results very similar to those produced by human participants, but with significantly higher performance. Experiment 3 examined how human performance changes when specific advantages are provided that can be found in our model, including perfect memory and accuracy.
Finally a continuation of the model is discussed that explores the dynamics of multiple foragers searching the same space. Overall, I demonstrate that people will generate Lévy-like search distributions in a wide variety of environmental conditions, but that search strategies will alter based on the current environment. I also demonstrate that spatial memory is a key factor in foraging, and provide a simple memory-based model that produces foraging behavior very similar to those utilized by people.

I genuinely believed that the calories from some foods were magical (chicken breast, sweet potato & egg whites for instance – essentially the foods most would widely consider to be 'clean') while the calories from sugar, white carbs & trans-fats & foods such as burgers ice-cream & pop tarts were destined to make you fat.
Instead of cutting my calories, when I wanted to lose fat, I just ate what I thought was 'cleaner', or I cut out whole food groups, like fruits, grains or even carbs as a whole. The more restrictive my diet, the more I felt like I was moving in the right direction as far as the fat loss was concerned.
The thing is, in order to lose fat, we need to ensure we're burning more calories than we're consuming. We need to force our body to look for that missing fuel elsewhere & have it turn to body fat for that fuel.
You can only lose fat when you're consuming fewer calories than you burn. This is known as a calorie deficit. You can only gain weight when you're consuming more calories than you burn. This is known as a calorie surplus. Other things DO matter as far as body composition is concerned, but if you aren't eating an adequate amount of calories given your goals & activity levels, they're entirely irrelevant.
If your goal is to lose weight & you are struggling to do so, then you're eating too many calories or aren't exercising enough to be in a calorie deficit. If your goal is to gain weight & you're struggling to do so, then you're simply not eating enough calories or burning too many of them to be in a calorie surplus.
Get your head around this - because if you don't, everything else I'm about to tell you won't mean anything.
Eat healthy and stay fit.


A European Parliament meeting on Tuesday with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will be broadcast live, parliamentary officials and the company said on Monday after controversy over plans for a closed-door hearing.
Zuckerberg, who founded the U.S. social media giant, will be in Europe to defend the company after scandal over its sale of personal data to a British political consultancy which worked on U.S. President Donald Trump's election campaign, among others.
He will meet Tajani and leaders of parties in the European Parliament in Brussels from 6:15 p.m. (12.15 p.m. ET/1615 GMT) on Tuesday.
He is also due to meet French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday.

Expert on Mental Illness Reveals Her Own Struggle
June 23, 2011 meditation psychology
Marsha Linehan. For some beautiful images and a video where she describes her own personal turning point: see the NYT article.
Marsha Linehan is a psychologist who created an outstanding therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and has improved and quite literally helped save the lives of people who were until then, considered untreatable, hopeless. People whose self-harming behaviours were persistent and extreme often leading to suicide.
I heard about her while studying Contemplative Psychology at Naropa University. DBT was fascinating to me because it took what I considered a boring old fashioned behavioral approach, added mindfulness and some other elements and was remarkably successful. Plus, Linehan brought mindfulness meditation into academic psychology, tested it rigorously and found it to be very helpful. She was at the very beginning of the new so called Third Wave of cognitive behavioral therapies, which all bring in elements of meditation to their approaches (eg Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)).
In researching DBT for a paper looking at DBT as a possible therapy for people with chronic pain I read a fascinating transcript of an interview with Linehan where she described how she came to do what she was doing. She was a devout Catholic and a practicing psychologist and she realized she needed to learn to meditate to save her own life first. She nearly went to a Catholic monastery and then ended up practicing Zen. Zen was never mentioned in the academic discussions of DBT, just "mindfulness". She spoke in the interview in 2007 of starting out wanting to help the hardest cases and honestly, to me she sounded like her life was devoted to the service of others, in the highest sense, like a bodhisattva or saint- and it has been. However, this article in the New York Times describes that after 30 odd years of clinical work, Linehan has "come out" as a suffering the same extreme symptoms that her therapy was designed to help. There is a video where she describes her early psycho-spiritual experience where she found herself saying " I love myself", her personal experience of Radical Acceptance. Linehan is now 68 years old.
The quote below shows her story but up until very recently, the last sentence was not spoken. Now she reveals where her compassionate action in the world comes from, from radical acceptance of self as well as a deep commitment to serving others.
"I decided to get supersuicidal people, the very worst cases, because I figured these are the most miserable people in the world — they think they're evil, that they're bad, bad, bad — and I understood that they weren't," she said. "I understood their suffering because I'd been there, in hell, with no idea how to get out."

O coco é uma dança de roda e ritmo da região Nordeste do Brasil. De origem remota, surgiu nos engenhos de açúcar da antiga Capitania de Pernambuco (atuais estados de Pernambuco, Alagoas e Paraíba), com  influências dos batuques africanos e dos bailados indígenas. A primeira referência que se tem sobre o coco data da segunda metade do século XVIII.

Características

"Coco" significa cabeça, de onde vêm as músicas, de letras simples. Com influências africana e indígena, é uma dança de roda acompanhada de cantoria e executada em pares, fileiras ou círculos durante festas populares do litoral e do sertão nordestino. Recebe várias nomenclaturas diferentes, como pagode, zambê, coco de usina, coco de roda, coco de embolada, coco de praia, coco do sertão, coco de umbigada, e ainda outros o nominam com o instrumento mais característico da região em que é desenvolvido, como coco de ganzá e coco de zambê. Cada grupo recria a dança e a transforma ao gosto da população local.

O som característico do coco vem de quatro instrumentos (ganzá, surdo, pandeiro e triângulo), mas o que marca mesmo a cadência desse ritmo é o repicar acelerado dos tamancos (que são usados para imitar o barulho do coco sendo quebrado). A sandália de madeira é quase como um quinto instrumento, talvez o mais importante deles. Além disso, a sonoridade é completada com as palmas.

It all started in chemistry class when homework became really tedious due to the large amount of calculations involved. Every time we needed to find the molar mass of a compound, we would have to refer to a textbook and find the correct element quickly. That is when the idea of making a molar mass calculator struck us! We immediately decided to attend the local Teen Hackathon to implement our idea in a friendly competition between peers. New to coding, we are very proud of learning JFrame in less than 24 hours and applying it to make a nice-looking GUI that shows the Periodic Table of Elements. Although, we faced many problems along the way, we split the work among our group members and we were able to finish our product on time.

Toyota Prius+ The Modern Family Star
By Jay Khan, November 3, 2014
Model spec: Toyota Prius+ T Spirit Price: £29,945.00 Engine: 1.8 4-cyl Petrol/Hybrid
BHP / Torque: 134 / 142 Max Speed: 103 CO2: g/km 0-62mph: 11.3 seconds
Economy/Range: 35mpg combined Tax: £/year
Three million hippies around the world and Leonardo Di Caprio can't be wrong, that's how many people have invested in the Toyota Prius. The Prius was designed for one purpose, to save California, it was first launched in 1997 and is currently in its third generation, the hatchback has now been joined by the Prius+ a seven seater Hybrid MPV which was introduced to the UK market mid 2012. The Prius+ is offered in two trims, the base T4 starts from £26,000 and the top spec T Spirit, which emits a London Congestion Charge busting 96g/km, is priced from £29,000. As you'd expect, the Prius isn't just limited to the UK. In the United States, the consumer demand for this eco-friendly gem has skyrocketed. The U.S. government has even installed tax breaks and credits to Prius owners, so it would be wise to keep that in mind when you need to find tax credits for your return for the year. With gas prices fluctuating all the time, the supply is having trouble keeping up with the demand. Standard features include 17 inch alloys, panoramic sunroof, reversing camera and LED daylights, smart key entry, rear privacy glass, full leather interior, premium audio/sound system, sat-nav, indeed its very well specced. The Prius+ is definitely a very functional looking car which has seemingly been designed around the theory of drag co-efficiency and functionality. One expects such hippy cars to be made out of recycled card board but you expect to be pleasantly surprised, the interior exudes an air of plush, zen like tranquility.
"Saving the world and fuel is the hippy's only concern which equates to 48mpg on a combined cycle. The Prius+ with its dual, hybrid technology comes in at nearly 30k, two cars for the price of one, that means its both cheap and expensive because there are more fuel efficient and cheaper cars out there, but few as clean."
The interior cargo space is more than 50% larger than the Prius Hatchback, providing 970 L more cargo space behind the rear seats, it also offers more leg room, and more head height. The third row of seats are capable of taking an adults girth but leg room and head room is so tight its clearly a space designed for young children. Standard cargo space is 784 litre's with five seats in place, it decrease's to 284 litre's with all seven seats in place but with the rear seats folded flat overall cargo space increases to 1,750 litre's. The Prius+ features the same Hybrid Synergy Drive as its hatchback sibling, its powered by a 1.8 litre, 134bhp, 142 Nm 4 cylinder petrol engine. Two electric motors produce a combined power output of 81bhp and 207 NM of torque and are powered by Lithium-ion batteries which are continually recharged every time you coast, brake or accelerate. For all of the impressive and complex technology the Prius+ houses it is as easy to drive as conventional car. The electric drive engages at speeds of up too 30mph, hit an incline though and the petrol engine effortless cuts in to assist, the two systems are always continuously working together to provide optimal drive. The CVT gearbox is perhaps a weak point, in simple terms the transmission acts like one single gearbox ratio. Hit the gas pedal hard and the engine revs high, screaming in self pity and then a total absence of torque follows, that feeling of power under acceleration, its like you are floating in a balloon on a gentle breeze. The Prius+ also features driving modes, EV, Normal and Power and its best to keep things in 'Power' as the other mode's feel sluggish especially darting in and out of busy junctions. Because the Prius+ is a larger vehicle and able to carry greater load capacities, the suspension was redesigned to improve handling and ride quality and on both accounts it performs very well. Its balanced when cornering, at moderate speeds, with no dramatic transfer of weight from one side to the other causing sudden roll or slip, indeed its deceptively good fun to drive and adequately relaxing over long journeys, not that it will matter to the hippy. Saving the world and fuel is the hippy's only concern which equates to 48mpg on a combined cycle. The Prius+ with its dual, hybrid technology comes in at nearly 30k, two cars for the price of one, that means its both cheap and expensive because there are more fuel efficient and cheaper cars out there, but few as clean. However the limiting performance of the CVT gearbox mean's the Prius+ remains impressively frustrating.

William Bligh hold the unenviable record of having suffered two mutinies in his career. The story of the mutiny on the Bounty in April 1789 and of William Bligh's and his men's survival on the open ocean for 48 days and 3,618 miles has become the stuff of legend. Less well-known was the so-called 'Rum Rebellion' of 1808 when the military establishment in New South Wales deposed William Bligh their governor. Few realise that Bligh's escape across the seas was not the only epic open-boat journey in that era of British exploration and colonisation. Indeed, 9 convicts from the Australian penal colony, led by Mary Bryant, also travelled 3,250 miles across the open ocean and some uncharted seas to land at the same port Bligh had reached only months before.
This is a meticulously researched dual narrative of survival in which acclaimed historian Diana Preston provides the background and context to explain the thrilling open-boat voyages each party survived and the Pacific Island nations each encountered on their journey to safety. The book allows readers to understand the Pacific Islands as they were and how they were perceived, and how these seemingly utopian lands became a place where mutineers, convicts, and eventually the natives themselves, were chained. An excellent and original approach.

Big Sugar's Gordie Johnson picks Black Sabbath over Led Zeppelin
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT, SEPT. 27, 2001
The cover of the new Big Sugar CD, Brothers and Sisters, Are You Ready?, features a classic hard-rock image of a skinny, longhaired fellow flailing away on a doubleneck Gibson guitar. If you didn't know the guy was Big Sugar singer-guitarist Gordie Johnson, you'd probably think it was none other than Jimmy Page.
"I guess that's the first thing that comes to mind," says Johnson, on the line from his Hogtown home. "And I like Led Zeppelin enough—certainly as a kid I listened to them. But, you know, if I have to pick between Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, I pick Sabbath."
Tony Iommi may have been the riff master who influenced Johnson as a youngster, but it was actually Canadian rock hero Alex Lifeson who turned him on to the joys of the twin-neck guitar.
"He gave me my first doubleneck," explains Johnson, "and just sort of handed it to me as a source of inspiration. I didn't figure that I would actually play the thing—I just held it up as this iconic sort of talisman to have in the studio—but I ended up writing almost the entire Hemivision album around it. It sort of galvanized the creative process."
Johnson was mighty pleased about scoring the sacred heavy-metal tool from the influential Rush guitarist—the first concert he saw as a teenager was Rush at Cobo Hall in Detroit—but after a year or so he felt compelled to give it back. For one thing, Lifeson had bestowed his other prized doubleneck on Texas guitar wizard Eric Johnson, from whom it had promptly been stolen.
"Alex was quite upset that, of his two famous guitars, he had no idea where one was," Johnson relates. "And I just kinda felt like, 'This is too awesome a thing—it should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, not with me in Mexico at a video shoot.' Plus, it was breaking my back."
After Johnson returned Lifeson's classic axe, Gibson built him his own doubleneck, and he's collected a few others in his travels. He takes three of them on tour, so they'll surely be in evidence when Big Sugar plays two shows at the Commodore on Friday and Sunday (September 28 and 30). Hopefully, so will the new CD's three standout tracks: "Bad Old Days", "All Hell for a Basement", and "Nashville Grass".
The latter tune tells of Johnson's experiences at last year's funeral for Allman Brothers/Gov't Mule bassist Allen Woody, who was a good friend and touring partner of his. "Somewhere down in Tennessee," sings Johnson, "the scene was all too much for me to bear/All his good friends gathered around, on a Nashville bedding ground/Nashville grass let the sun burn brown, ashes to ashes we all fall down/We all have to stand in the same judgment for a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent."
"It was kind of a blow," Johnson says of Woody's sudden passing, "so that was a tough song to write, but singin' it makes it a little bit easier. It's kinda therapeutic, as opposed to just letting it remain all pent up." (Although Brothers and Sisters remembers Woody in song, it's actually dedicated, in the liner notes, to another of Johnson's fallen comrades, former MuchMusic VJ Dan Gallagher. He died of a heart attack last year, after cowriting several tunes for Big Sugar, including the well-known "Digging a Hole".)
Like "Nashville Grass", "All Hell for a Basement" is a compelling track that makes you wonder why the band's semicheesy pop ditties, like "So Not Over", ever get chosen as singles, and then are played to death by stations like Rock 101. According to Johnson, "all hell for a basement" is a phrase that was first used to describe the geography of Alberta by Rudyard Kipling.
"Don't get me wrong," notes Johnson, "I'm not trying to be all literary and hoity-toity. I'm not that well-read. But I lived there, and my parents are still there, and it's just part of the lore of southern Alberta. But that song is actually written about Newfoundlanders who had to pack up their whole town and move to Alberta to make a living. They got jobs in the oil patch and left their fishing boats and that way of life. I thought, 'Well, what a great Canadian story that is, I should try and sing about it a little bit.' "
Johnson's efforts to turn the spotlight on his homeland are obvious in the closing track of Brothers and Sisters, a feedback-laden instrumental version of "O Canada". He currently closes every show with a performance of the national anthem.
"The fellas in the band have a great deal of national pride," he says, "and we're starting to see—especially with the younger factions of our audience—a great deal of nationalism, certainly a great enthusiasm for Canadian music and culture. I applaud that, and just wanted to kind of wave the flag a little bit, you know."

Artists in Dialogue II is Now Open at the African Art Museum
Artists in Dialogue II, the second in a series held at the National Museum of African Art that pairs two artists from distinct parts of the world and asks them to create works in conversation with one another, features South African artist Sandile Zulu and Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira.
Meeting for the first time over a year ago, Zulu and Oliveira, who work with fire and wood, respectively— two elements that would seem dangerous when used in tandem— quickly found common ground. "The commonality that we seemed to share in terms of our creative imagining is our fascination with the body, biology, science," Oliveira said, themes that are reflected in their works. They kept in touch via email, Skype and with exhibit curator, Karen Milbourne. "Their works are a call and response," she said.
Sandile Zulu, "working with universal themes in a vocabulary of minimalism," created works, including: Large Colon (y) Brownprint—a histopathological case (2010), Old bones, Old genes—a population groups case (2010) and Spinal Diagnosis—a regenerate case no. 1 (2010) that reflect an interconnectedness between the human body and society. In his piece Spinal Diagnosis—a regenerate case no. 2 (2010), Zulu experimented with Oliveira's material, flexible plywood, to draw parallels between the two. "Because the spine is the backbone of an individual, this symbolic association is that if an individual has got a healthy backbone, he is stable or she is stable," Zulu said. "By extension, the society is stable."
Zulu, who came of age in the 1990s, chose fire, a seemingly untameable, uncontrollable element, intentionally. "The use of fire was important to me because of the political situation in South Africa then," he said, referring to the inequalities that existed for decades under apartheid. Coming to terms with being one of the few black art students during that tumultuous time was a process. "I had to look for visual language about my own understanding of philosophy of art and practice," he said. "The actual act of burning was a revolutionary suggestion to me." Zulu now incorporates the other three elements— water, air and earth— in his artwork as well. His use of fire allows him to "work with a destructive force in a creative fashion to allow for healing."
Henrique Oliveira started out as a painter 14 years ago and began making installations in 2003. His painting Untitled (2005) symbolizes the vocabulary he brought into the dialogue. His newer works, including the painting Blue Abyss (2010) and his two installations, which protrude from the gallery's walls, continue the conversation. Oliveira layered weathered strips of wood (tapumes) to create Bololô (2011) and Xilonoma Chamusquius (2010), on which he also experimented with Zulu's medium of fire. Oliveira likens his technique of layering to "a DJ that samples sounds and combines them into another element."
Oliveira initially used plywood found on the street and in dumpsters because it was "iconic of poverty," as experienced in his native Brazil. The use of wood in his art references the situations of those existing on the periphery of cities like Sao Paulo, who make their homes wherever they can— favelas and shantytowns— and with whatever material they can find. In Oliveira's hands, the wood, initially rigid and unyielding, is bent and shaped into something new, "like a Frankenstein," he said. "I take the discarded pieces and remake it."
Neither Zulu nor Oliveira care to assign specific meanings to their works. "I'm not going to dictate the meaning on a one to one level of each piece," said Zulu. Instead, they invite viewers to make their own connections. "Being open to many ways of understanding, that makes it interesting," said Oliveira.
"What we see or do not see as African or Brazilian isn't the point," said Milbourne. Perhaps engaging in what the museum director, Dr. Johnnetta B. Cole, calls, "multi-logues, lots of us talking to each other," is.
The African Art Museum invites viewers to join in the conversation via twitter, by uploading questions to the artists on YouTube, using their first mobile exhibit app (in both English and Portuguese) or by joining them in person at "Africa Underground," an after hours event at the museum this Friday night.

Melania Trump Slams Rapper T.I. For Using A Strip-Teasing Lookalike Of Her In His New Music Video
T.I.'s new video featured a doppleganger of the first lady stripping in the Oval Office.
By Gina Tron
t.i. video ap
A spokeswoman for Melania Trump is asking people to boycott Atlanta rapper T.I. because of his promotional album video that shows a woman resembling the first lady stripping in the Oval Office.
Trump's communications director, Stephanie Grisham, tweeted Saturday asking how the video could be considered acceptable. She also used the hashtags #disgusting and #boycott in that tweet.
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, tweeted Friday before sharing his new music video entitled "Dear 45, I ain't Kanye." That tweet has since been taken down.
The video features a Melania lookalike dancing in what is supposed to be the Oval Office. In the clip, a woman is wearing a jacket that reads "I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO U?"
The first lady wore a jacket with that wording on her way to visit migrant children in Texas, a move she was sharply criticized for. She said recently in an interview with ABC News that she wore the jacket to troll reporters.
In T.I.'s video, Trump's lookalike strips out of the jacket.
T.I. has recently posted on Instagram that he was done working with rapper Kanye West, who is a President Donald Trump supporter.
"At one time it was a pleasure to work alongside you... now, I'm ashamed to have ever been associated with you," he wrote on that Instagram post. "I've reached my limits. This is my stop, I'm officially DONE!!!!," He revealed that he had turned down West's invitation to join him at the White House, a meeting he called the "most repulsive, disgraceful, embarrassing act of desperation & auctioning off of one's soul to gain power I've ever seen."

What is the difference between Central Bank and Commercial Bank?
There are certain basic differences between a central bank and a commercial bank. They are:
(i) The central bank is the apex monetary institution, which has been specially empowered to exercise control over the banking system of the country. The commercial bank, on the contrary, is a constituent unit of the banking system.
(ii) The central bank does not operate with a profit motive. The primary aim of the central bank is to achieve the objectives of the economic policy of the government and maximise the public welfare through monetary measures. The commercial banks, on the other hand, have profit earning as their primary objective.
(iii) The central bank is generally a state-owned institution, while the commercial banks are normally privately owned institutions.
(jv) The central bank does not deal directly with the Public. The commercial banks, on the contrary, directly deal with the public.
(v) The central bank does not compete with the commercial banks. Rather it helps them by acting as the lender of the last resort.
(vi) The central bank has the monopoly of note-issue, whereas the commercial banks do not enjoy such right.
(vii) The central bank is the custodian of the foreign exchange reserves of the country. The commercial banks are only the dealers in foreign exchange.
(viii) The central bank acts as the banker to the government, the commercial banks act as bankers to the general public.
(ix) The central bank acts as the bankers' bank : (a) The commercial banks arc required to keep a certain proportion of their reserves with central bank ; (b) the central bank helps them at the time of emergency ; and (c) the central bank acts as the clearing house for the commercial banks. But, the Commercial banks perform no such function.

Pricing is always an interesting subject – especially for social entrepreneurs, who often think only of the social and forget that without the right price there won't be any money to achieve their social purpose.
Most people totally undervalue their worth and the value of their product or service. If you price yourself cheaply people's first reaction is to ask what's wrong with your product or service. How many people still choose Heinz Baked Beans compared to the own brand ones – purely because they think they are inferior because of their price?
If you are selling a cake and you describe it as a basic sponge cake with value ingredients people will not be prepared to pay as much as when you describe the cake as a luxury sponge cake made from a traditional recipe and fair trade ingredients. Your price is determined by the value your customers attach to what you are selling.
Pricing is actually all about marketing – if you can't explain the qualities, attributes and values of your product or service clearly, then your customers won't value it fully, and you will struggle to achieve the sales price you desire.
Another way to work out your price is to tip your budget upside down – work out the costs of running your social enterprise first (including your salary), then figure out what price to sell at.
Let's say that you work out your price first – at £100 a day because you think that's reasonable. Then you calculate my costs and these are £100,000 for the year. You would have to work 1,000 days to cover these costs – which would be impossible when there's only 365 days in a year!
If you know your costs are £100,000 and you only want to work four days a week (let's say 200 days in a year), then your price needs to be £500 a day to cover these.
Think about what your product or service offers, its key benefits and qualities, and then do your pricing. If you know your value and your worth, it's not about what your competitors are charging. So will your social enterprise be pricing your product or service as a basic tin of beans or do you know your worth?
You can use a number of different pricing methods, as long as you are generating enough sales and surpluses to make your social enterprise sustainable. You want to be remembered as the social enterprise that has traded for 10 years, not the one that closed after 18 months! Below are some of the pricing models that you may choose to use within your business.
The absolute minimum price you ought to ever charge is full cost/breakeven. This is in effect the position organisations that have grant funding are in – they receive money to cover the project costs but never make any surpluses on the grants. This is why trading is often better – as you have the freedom to set your own price and make sure you are covering all your costs not just project activity.
Breaking even isn't a great position to be in – you really want surpluses so you can do more social good, develop new innovative products and services, and be entrepreneurial.
This method takes all your costs and then you add a percentage on for profit. Typically you'll want to aim for a profit of around 20%, as this will give you some money to reinvest in your social enterprise and also to develop new products or services.
The next pricing method is going rate – typically used when your product or service is broadly similar to that of your competitors. Petrol stations are a great example of this – when one increases their price they all follow! You'll need to do some research to find out what your competitors are charging. Once you have this information you can decide where you want to position yourself. Cheaper than your competitors can indicate your product or service is poor quality etc. whereas if you want to price higher than your competitors you'll need to be really clear about what makes your product or service better.
If that doesn't appeal, and you are looking to become the next Jamie Oliver and have your branded food products in the supermarkets, then you might use penetration pricing. This is where you set the a low price initially to secure high volumes of sales. If you are selling food or household goods this is a good strategy, as even though you may only make a few pence on each sale you will be selling 1,000's every day.
The opposite of this is price skimming – ideal for products with short life cycles – computers, mobile phones, Playstations and DVDs etc – where you have a high price but sell low volumes initially. These products appeal to the person who always has the latest gadget or phone, and are prepared to pay a high price, rather than wait a couple of months until the price is lower.
The next method is prestige pricing, where customers are prepared to pay more for higher quality goods and services. Have you ever been offered a bottle of Chanel perfume for £3? You would wonder what's wrong with it – our perception is that high price equals high quality, and charging £3 for your exclusive perfume would actually damage future sales.
This is largely defined by the benefits and qualities of your product/service. Are you selling the own brand bread, the premium bread or the organic/seeded bread? Each of these is targeted at customers who value and pay a certain price based on the perceived value.
For those of you that provide products or services to a range of different customers a great method is price discrimination – where you charge different types of customers different prices for the same service. Examples include training, concert tickets and off-peak specials. Or finally, try psychological pricing – £9.99 instead of £10.00 always seems so much cheaper for some reason!
If the person won't buy from you it can be tempting to offer a discount to get the work. But, by agreeing to a discount you are saying your product or service was overpriced and not worth what you originally said. A way to avoid this is to match the discount with a reduction in the product/service e.g. longer delivery time or more junior staff time etc.

Ever wondered what it takes to satisfy 85,000 thirsty football fans in a 15 minute halftime break, or feed 1,500 VIPs that all want to finish their 3-course meal just in time for the 8pm kick-off? Well twelve hospitality students from JFS in Kenton learnt that and much more during a taster day organised by Springboard and hosted by Delaware North, Wembley Stadium's Hospitality and Food Service Partner.
Discover London's biggest jobs and careers event – November 13th & 14th and get involved with hands-on, interactive activities that will get you excited about new careers, skills and jobs.
Springboard's CareerScope will be hosting the Hospitality Zone at Skills London 2015, (Stand 330), where participants will have the opportunity to get involved with activities, competitions and learn from industry professionals about the wonderful world of hospitality.
I was invited to attend the Edge Hotel School on the 20th May 2015 to meet the students and take a tour around the School along with doing a short presentation to the students about Springboard and our network of employers.
I met quite a few of the students and was very impressed with their knowledge and wanted to showcase a students journey to where she is now!

University of Virigina Hires Historian to Research Slavery
JAH podcast with Michael Honey, author of Sharecroppers Troubadour: John L. Handcox, the Southern Tenant Farmers Union, and the African American Song Tradition
by Michael Honey and Jessie Kindig
Jessie Kindig, Journal of American History assistant editor and visiting assistant professor of American history at Indiana University recently interviewed Michael Honey, author, teacher, filmmaker, activist, and Haley Professor of Humanities at the University of Washington Tacoma, about his recent work in African American history and labor studies. In this podcast they discuss his recent book, Sharecroppers Troubadour: John L. Handcox, the Southern Tenant Farmers Union, and the African American Song Tradition, published at the end of 2013 by Palgrave Macmillan in its oral history series. In presentations on this book, Honey sings and talks, as did Handcox, the "poet laureate" of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union (STFU), to tell about the bitter days of racism and repression in the Arkansas Mississippi River delta during the Great Depression, music that also provided the hope and inspiration for an astonishing interracial union movement in Ku Klux Klan country that became a precursor to the 1960s civil rights movement. Honey recently directed and produced a thirty-eight-minute documentary film, Love and Solidarity: Rev. James Lawson and Nonviolence in the Search for Labor Rights, which will soon be available to university libraries and community organizations. In this interview, he discusses how Lawson's theory and practice of nonviolent direct action energized the black freedom movement in the South and continues to animate union organizing in Los Angeles, where the eighty-seven-year old Lawson now lives. Kindig also asks about oral history as a practice of personal expression and historical research, and Honey talks about how it can help us to understand movements from below.
Below is a link to the podcast, hosted by the JAH. Honey's interview is titled "Sharecropper's Troubadour: John L. Handcox, the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union, and the African American Song Tradition."

Michael Honey is Haley Professor of Humanities at University of Washington Tacoma and Harry Bridges Chair of Labor Studies Emeritus at the University of Washington. A recipient of grants from the Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundations, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and numerous awards from historical organizations, his five books include, Sharecroppers' Troubadour: John L. Handcox, the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union, and the African-American Song Tradition (2013); editor, Martin Luther King Jr., All Labor Has Dignity (2011); Going Down Jericho Road: The Memphis Strike, Martin Luther King's Last Campaign (2007); Black Workers Remember: Segregation, Unionism, and the Freedom Struggle (1999); and Southern Labor and Black Civil Rights: Organizing Memphis Workers (1993).

Known as the Wooden Wonder and the Timber Terror, this unorthodox design used a plywood structure of spruce and balsa when wood and fabric construction was considered outdated. Because of its speed and agility, and the De Havilland Mosquito proved to be one of the best all around planes in the RAF during WW II. As a medium bomber it performed un-escorted raids deep into enemy held air space. As a fighter it was a match for the best the Germans had to offer. And as a photo-recon plane it could fly in low over it's target and get away before the Germans could react. One reason for the Mosquito's success was that it was one of the world's first stealth aircraft because it's wooden structure did not show up on German radar screens! Now you can enjoy the fun of twin engine performance. This reproduction kit, originally made by READYMADE MODELS CO. of London England, is now available to you through Black Hawk Models!
