Super Duper Alice Cooper – Deluxe Edition (Review)
Super Duper Alice Cooper Deluxe Box Set
Super Duper Alice Cooper (2DVD/BR/CD – £37 Love Music Glasgow)
I do love a good music documentary, which is probably just as well as they seem to be coming down the pipeline at an impressive rate these days. I blame Anvil. But few musicians warrant a film biog more than Alice Cooper. And when the film, Super Duper Alice Cooper, comes courtesy of Banger Productions (Metal: A Headbanger's Journey, VH1's Metal Evolution and Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage) then the prospects are very promising indeed. Hot on the heels of a limited cinema run comes the release on DVD and Blu Ray. I hadn't expected this to come out until later in 2014 so it's a nice surprise to have a copy so soon but does it live up to its promise?
The Eyes of Alice Cooper
THE DOCUMENTARY
Unexpectedly, the film takes the form of an extended montage. There is no footage of the interviewees as they are now, Alice and co-stars providing only voice-overs to the stream of archive footage and images. The 87min running time is a bit miserly for such a huge and important story so the film focuses squarely on Alice the man and performer with little discussion of the music or discography. And even then it all feels a bit breathless. The movie hurtles from anecdote to anecdote faster than you can say "Michael Bruce". Which no-one here does. Not even once. The pace and the effect of only hearing the protagonists' voices renders the whole thing strangely flat. And as the film progresses it is rarely as exciting or as moving as it should be.
He's no' well
On the plus side, the film is a veritable treasure trove of visual material and, by cutting out the modern-day talking heads, a lot of this good stuff is crammed into the brief running time. I can understand the impulse to prioritise the historical footage but the filmmakers haven't employed it with the dramatic and powerful effect of a film like Julien Temple's The Filth and the Fury which took a similar approach. For long-time fans there are interesting and fresh insights into Alice's life. Without spoiling too much, Dennis Dunaway's recollections as the original band drift apart are sad and surprising and there is fascinating new light shed on Cooper's addictions. The portrayal of the singer's descent is harrowing enough to set-up a satisfying feel-good ending, as a healthier, happier Alice bounces back into action in the 80s with support from guitar-gunslinger (literally!) Kane "Rambo" Roberts. Nothing is said of his later career which seems strange as I felt that the reunion of the remaining original members with producer Bob Ezrin for Welcome 2 My Nightmare would have been a satisfying way to bring the story up to date and also full circle.
The individual DVD and Blu-Ray editions come with some extra archive footage, deleted scenes and extra interviews that were filmed for the Metal Evolution series. This deluxe version has even more extras that may prove very tempting for Coop fans. The LP-sized hardcover book has some great photos and some interesting insights from the film-makers which explain why they decided, rightly or wrongly, what approach to take with the documentary. And in addition to the DVD and Blu-Ray of the movie there is two bonus discs. The first is a DVD of footage shot from the 1972 Killer tour in Montreal. Any classic Alice Cooper concert footage is like gold-dust and I can imagine many fans buying this set for this disc alone. Sadly, the footage is very incomplete and the existing visual and audio components cut and pasted together to make as much out of it as possible. As a result the sound is often out of sync with the action and portions of the songs are missing. It's a touch disappointing that the show is so incomplete but it is still a rare treat to the see the band in action at this point in their career. A fourth disc contains an energetic live performance from 2009's Along Came a Spider tour at Montreaux which features some great classic material and great sound. It's only slightly marred by some audible mic problems towards the end. I think all of the tracks here have been performed on other live releases so it's fairly inessential in that respect but it's a lean and rocking set and a nice bonus for any completists out there.
Taken individually the disappointing movie and patchy concert footage leave you wanting slightly more. But viewed together with the book and CD for bonus reading and listening, there's an enjoyable evening of Cooper fun to be had here. And more archive Alice than you can shake a snake at! I still feel like the ultimate Cooper visual retrospective is still out there, waiting to be made, but this is still a welcome addition to the collection alongside Prime Cuts, Good to See You Again Alice Cooper and the many other Coop DVDs out there.

Metallica – Creeping Death (12″ Single – Review)
Oh look! There's a wee skull in it. Metal.
(Single taken from The Good, the Bad & the Live: (6½ Year Anniversary EP Collection) that I bought back in January 2013)
Metallica's second European single was released after its parent album Ride the Lightning to promote the band's European tour. The A-Side song Creeping Death is a stone-cold Metalliclassic, a nuclear biblical epic. The B-Side Garage Days Revisited consists of two faithful covers of NWOBHM tracks (Diamond Head's Am I Evil? and Blitzkreig's Blitzkreig). Everyone would have already been familiar with the title-track when this was released but, especially outside the UK, fewer listeners would have known the B-Sides.
It seems that the classic Metal bands of the 70s weren't doing many covers and the few exceptions were songs lifted from outside the genre and given "heavy" treatment. But in the 80s bands like Metallica and Iron Maiden seemed keen to indulge in a bit of "Record Collection Rock": recording many covers and, crucially, covers of other heavy and hard rocking bands. Both Maiden and Metallica proved vital in my musical education, pointing me towards other great artists (as well as some great films, books and TV shows).
I miss the orange demon dude.
Were Metallica simply self-serving in making these powerful, but largely unheard, songs their own? Or were they benevolently offering a helping hand (and some welcome royalties) to some great bands that hadn't found an audience, for the greater good of Metal? I'd say there were elements of both but I would also credit Metallica for having the confidence to put an astounding song like Am I Evil? alongside their own, especially when Metallica's sound and style was so clearly indebted to Diamond Head. But Metallica's own compositions had more than enough firepower of their own and enough credit was given to their beloved NWOBHM heroes in interviews and on their T-Shirts to avoid accusations of exploitation.
A Metal Classic
While Metallica's cover versions of Am I Evil? and Blitzkrieg might not quite have the charm or impact of the originals, Metallica admirably put their own crunchy, barky stamp on both tunes. The realisation that there were older bands capable of penning tunes that could hold their own against a classic Thrasher like Creeping Death had many a fan, myself included, scurrying off to their nearest record store. The Metal genre, and my music collection, are much better off thanks to Metallica, one of the greatest gateway bands of all-time.

Metallica – Jump in the Fire (12" Single – Review)
May 15, 2013 Heavy Metal Overload 38 Comments
The Orange Demon Dude!
Can I be honest here and admit one of my main reasons for wanting this was the incredible cover? I love the orange demon dude. He looks so pleased with himself. And so he should! He is adorning the first (if you're British, anyway) Metallica single!
Jump in the Fire is taken from Metallica's seminal debut, Kill 'Em All. It's one of the more old-school Metal tracks on the debut with its mid-tempo rhythm, bluesy soloing and a sing-along chorus (which always reminds me of Deep Purple's Space Truckin'). It's a fun track but not one of the debut's more promising efforts. Hammett's soloing and Hetfield's hoarse vocals sell the song and, thankfully, the band replaced the shagging lyrics from the No Life 'til Leather demo version with something more orange demon dude friendly. Besides, no-one should have to imagine James Hetfield moving his hips in a circular way. Ever.
The Back Cover with the Studio and "Live" Sides
Apart from the orange demon dude, the main attraction of this single is its live B-Sides. Unfortunately, these "live" versions of Seek and Destroy and Phantom Lord were actually recorded in a studio. Reverb was added (most audibly on Hetfield's voice) to replicate the acoustics of a larger venue and crowd noises were added on. I'm sure I can remember reading that the crowd noise was taken from a classic live album but I'm not sure if that's true or not (answers on a postcard please) but the crowd noise does give the impression that the band had amassed a pretty large following at this early stage in their career!
Like Hetfield's hips, this record moves in a circular way
If you can get over the naïve fakery involved, these lively alternate versions are still well worth hearing. Both of the B-Side tracks are more representative of the band's early, influential Thrash style than the A-Side. While these versions are missing the breakneck intensity of Metallica's actual live performances, Cliff Burton's fabulous bass playing is clear as a bell, Kirk's soloing is free of bum notes and the performance as a whole is pretty tight. Pleasingly, Hetfield's voice is starting to sound more like it would on future albums but his exhortations to the imaginary crowd ("let's go, c'mon") during Seek and Destroy are embarrassing.
Sans the fakery these are still excellent performances. If they had been radio sessions instead they would have been more appreciated and it's probably preferable to think of them along those lines. For future releases, Metallica would lose the naiveté… and the orange demon dude.

The changes to the R&D tax incentive have been on the horizon for a while, but are getting closer.
In May 2018 the government announced the changes to the R&D tax incentive in its 2018/19 Federal Budget. And then on 20 September 2018 introduced draft legislation to Parliament.
In this episode Simon Dorevitch of A & A Tax Legal Consulting in Melbourne will walk you through the drafted changes. Here are our notes from that interview. There are nine key changes coming through.
For entities with an aggregated turnover of less than $20 million: There will be a $4 million annual cap on cash refunds . An exception is made for R&D activities that form part of a clinical trial.
Let's say a company spent $5 million on clinical trials and $15m on other R&D. Resulting in a total offset of $8.2 million (41% of $20 million). Of this amount $2.05 Million (41% of $5 million) of the offset relates to expenditure on clinical trials and is therefore refundable.
The other $6.15 million (41% 0f $15 million) relate to other R&D expenditure. The first $4 million of this is refundable, but the remaining $2.15 million is non-refundable. So in total $6.05 million is refundable and $2.15m is carry-forward as a non-refundable offset.
Let's say the company had a $1m tax liability in the following year. The carry-forward tax offset would reduce the tax payable to nil. And the remaining $1.15 million is available as a non-refundable offset for future years.
The offset rate is not a flat rate depending on the overall R&D intensity of a company but rather applied in a manner similar to marginal tax rates.
The $100 million cap will increase to $150 million. This will apply to all entities, no matter what the aggregated turnover is.
The concept of 'tax benefit' for the purposes of the general anti-avoidance rules in Part IVA ITAA 1936 will be expanded to include the R&D tax incentive offset.
Innovation and Science Australia will only be able to grant extensions of time of up to 3 months. The only exception will be where the subject matter of the extension relates to a pending decision.
The government will provide increased resources to both the ATO and Department of Industry. The aim of these is to allow greater enforcement activity and to provide improved program guidance to participants.

KALAMAZOO, MI â As a newly minted stay-at-home dad, Scott Below embraced the bulk bins at the grocery store as a way to save money. The oatmeal bin, however, was normally empty.
The military veteran and former food executive, who has worked at Kraft and Kellogg Co., thought there had to be a better way for people to get oats â one that didn't involve strangers jamming their hands in the bin.
Using wood from his home in Kalamazoo, Below built a combination storage bin/mill that housed the groats and let people roll the oats right in the store. It is similar to the machines in grocery stores that let you grind your own coffee.
"The fresher the food is, the better it tastes," said Below.
The breakthrough came, he said, after he realized he didn't need to steam the oats first.
"It tasted so much better. I never liked mushy oatmeal anyway," said Below, who bills himself as an "oat enthusiast" on his business cards.
More residents of Southwest Michigan seem to agree. As of July, the Grainery was supplying the oats for Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo. It can be found on the menu at Food Dance in Kalamazoo, as well as in Irving's Deli downtown. The Grainery also has mills in Horrocks markets in Grand Rapids, Battle Creek and Lansing and on the east side of the state in three Westborn Markets and four Hiller's locations.
For Kalamazoo residents who would like to roll their own oats, Irving's also has a freestanding mill, as does the Richland Meat Center and the Harding's on West Main and Drake, which was the first Southwest Michigan store to install a mill. Below has sped up the milling process from five minutes to 1-1/2 minutes on the newer mills.
"It's remarkable how many customers keep coming back for it. It's just a matter of getting it in their hands," said Gary Peoples, store owner.
Harding's first started carrying Grainery oats about 18 months ago, said Peoples. After a little trial and error, he said, sales have taken off.
"It has really exploded for us," said Peoples. "It's tripled or quadrupled from where it first started. It's one of the bakers' favorites as far as making an oatmeal cookie. They swear by it."
One way the store has increased sales is by having an employee mill oats on a daily basis â making up ¼, ½ and full bags -- rather than expecting everyone to do it themselves.
"We have found that if we prepare it ahead of time, a consumer is more apt to grab it," said Peoples. "We keep a selection on the shelf at all times."
The Grainery benefited from a $5,000 grant from the Start-Up Garden in Grand Rapids, Below said. Michigan State University Extension also provided help during the initial stages. His first prototype was in a grocery store by October 2011.
"They helped me tremendously early on as cheerleader and sanity check," said Below, of MSU.
The Grainery has become a family affair. Below's two children stamp each bag by hand and his nine-year-old daughter, McKenna, loves working the farmers markets, Below said. His 11-year-old son, Donovan, is helping with the company's website and his wife, Christine, an occupational therapist who co-owns her own business, gets up at 5 a.m. on Saturdays to work the Bank Street Farmers Market, he said.
"They've all wrapped their arms around this," said Peoples.
Business has expanded enough that Below was able to hire his first employee this summer to service the mills on the east side of the state.
Right now, The Grainery's oats come from an Iowa supplier. Next year, Below has an agreement with a Michigan farmer that would allow at least some of the oats to be locally grown.
"That's my goal. I'm not giving up on it," said Below. "It's silly not to have locally sourced oats."
While the first mills were created by Below himself, through what he calls "redneck engineering," Bowers Manufacturing off Sprinkle Road is now extruding the mills for The Grainery.
The wooden stands he still builds himself from locally grown wood.
"Most of the wood comes from our property. I have a buddy with a sawmill," said Below.
One of Harding's managers also gave Below a walnut tree. Peoples hopes the mill created from that can eventually be used in their store.
Of his motivation in trying to build a better oatmeal mill, Below said, "I'm just trying to simplify the supply chain -- remove as many steps as I can in the food process."
Farmers markets have been integral to the growth of The Grainery, said Below, who appears at six regularly, including the Bank Street Farmers Market in Kalamazoo and the South Haven Farmers Market.
"There's a growing sense that people want to know who they're buying their food from," said Below.

Tim Ford (@SQLAgentMan) recently blogged about his Top 5 SQL Server Indexing Best Practices. I thought it was a good list, and it inspired this blog post. I've recently been doing a little index spring cleaning, and I thought some people may be interested in the process I go through. So, here it is… a journey through madness an overview of my general missing index process.
I start with my trusty dba_missingIndexStoredProc table. If this table sounds completely foreign to you, check out my post, Find Missing Indexes In Stored Procs. Basically, I have a process that runs every night, scanning the XML of every query plan on the server to find procs that are possibly missing indexes. I then log the details for later action.
could improve the query cost by 85.7327%.
I usually find the data in both places, but not always. One reason why is because the missing index DMV will only store data since your last reboot. So if I'm taking a look at this DMV on Monday and I just rebooted on Sunday, I may not have enough history to give me meaningful recommendations. This is just something to be aware of.
What I'm looking for in this DMV is the number of user_seeks and the est_impact. Also, if I haven't rebooted my server in a while, I take a look at last_user_seek so I can determine whether or not it's still accurate.
Next, I take a look at my existing indexes using Kimberly Tripp's sp_helpindex2 system stored proc. I use her proc instead of sp_helpindex because I need to see included columns.
If you're wondering why I'm looking at existing indexes, the reason is because I'm looking for indexes that can be modified slightly to accommodate my missing index needs. By "modified slightly," I mean that I'd only want to make a change to an existing index if it did not drastically change the size or composition of an index, i.e. adding one or two narrow columns as included columns. I do NOT mean making changes that double the size of your index; in those cases, you'd probably be better off creating a brand new index.
Looking at existing indexes is actually a pretty critical part of the puzzle. If I have a proc that only gets called a few times an hour and could benefit from a better index, I may not create that index if it means adding a wide, expensive index to a busy table. If I can make a small modification to an existing index, then there's a greater chance I'll make the change and cover my query.
Disclaimer: I'm *not* a Visio wizard, so if I butchered the use of certain symbols in my diagram, please let me know so I can a) fix it, and b) learn from it!
It's hard to really put all of the decision paths into a single, small diagram like this. There's a lot of variables that I'm not even touching here. But I think this is a fairly good "generic" representation of the path I take. When I hit an "end" process, it means I don't create the missing index at this time. Maybe in the future, it'll become necessary, but I prefer to err on the side of less indexes.

Q: Web services and transactions I have a client application which needs to communicate via SOAP calls with a second application on a web server. Some of the operations must be atomic, and most of the include web service calls.
I have read about Web Services Transactions (IBM), but could not locate implementations, road-maps, or other hands-on material on this topic.
Should i consider two-phase commit or other distributed protocols for transactions or are there other ways (methodologies) for achieving this?

A:
I have read about Web Services
  Transactions (IBM)

It's not just IBM. The 1.0 standard was IBM, IONA, Microsoft and assorted others. 1.1 was IBM, IONA and JBoss.

"The locking model used by two phase commit transactions is really only suitable for short lived transactions in the same domain of control. If your services run in the same company datacenter you'll probably get away with it. For wider distribution, be it geographical or administrative, you probably want to look at WS-BA, a web service transactions protocol specifically designed for such use."
(That's from Transaction rollback and web services BTW, although you could also have found Transaction options over Web Service calls without too much trouble)

Constable charged for alleged rape of another constable's wife – Kuensel Online
Constable charged for alleged rape of another constable's wife
Legal: Prosecutors from the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) have charged a police constable for allegedly raping another constable's wife on January 20.
The alleged incident took place on October 25 last year at the victim's house in Hejo when she was sleeping alone in her room after a quarrel with her husband.
It was learnt that the husband was sleeping in the altar room with their children.
The victim's statement to police stated that she had initially assumed it was her husband but later discovered it was another person. She then alerted her husband.
She also stated that at the time of the alleged incident, she forgot to latch the door, as she was under the influence of alcohol.
The husband, after finding the accused in his wife's room, alerted people nearby and arrested him.
The accused, in his statement to police, denied the charge, claiming he doesn't remember having sex with the victim, as he was drunk.
He also claimed that he got inside the room, mistaking it to be his own bedroom, since it was dark.
The accused also said he had to pass through the victim's room to reach his bedroom since they share the same apartment.
"I crawled in the dark and found a mattress and assumed it to be my bed," he stated. "I was shocked to learn that I was in someone else's bedroom when I heard someone screaming."
Police sent blood samples from both the accused and the victim for forensic examination to India.
OAG officials, based on the police investigation and medical report obtained from the hospital, charged him for the rape of a married woman.
The accused was charged for violating section 179 of the Penal Code, which states: "A defendant shall be guilty of the offence of rape of a married person, if the person rapes a married person."
The crime was, therefore, graded a felony of the fourth degree. A felony of the fourth degree could mean a minimum of three years to a maximum or not less than five years imprisonment.
If found guilty, the accused shall be liable to pay gao (penalty for sexual misconduct) and Nu 26,250 to the victim's husband as compensation.

Liberated Guardian, vol. II, no. 5, September 1971
The National Guardian was a radical, left newsweekly published out of New York City from 1948-1992. The paper was established by James Aronson, Cedric Belfrage, who were committed activists for the Progressive Party and Henry Wallace presidential campaign, as well as John McManus and Josiah Gitt, both liberal newspaper men, though Gitt quickly dropped out. In addition to the Progressive Party, the newspaper also held ties with American communists and the labor movement. The Cold War took a toll on the newspaper, with the decline of the Progressive Party and the rise of McCarthyism in the U.S. During the post-WWII era, the newspaper focused coverage on opposition to the Cold War and militarism, support for emerging anti-colonial struggles around the world, defense of those targeted by McCarthyism, advocacy for the black freedom movement. The newspaper continued to hold a cozy relationship with the Communist Party U.S.A., though it did break with the group over some issues, particularly support for independent political action beyond party control. The 1960s-era brought a new period of political rancor within the editorial ranks of the newspaper. In the end, the periodical changed leadership and renamed itself The Guardian. The Guardian took an increasingly Maoist line, supporting armed struggles against colonialism. During this period, the newspaper attempted to forge ties with SDS and SNCC, writing that "The duty of a radical newspaper is to build a radical movement." "We are movement people acting as journalists," the Guardian′s staff now proudly declared. The Liberated Guardian formed out of a workers strike at The Guardian newspaper in New York City in the Spring of 1970. The Liberated Guardian was notable for it strong stand in favor of armed struggle. An ideological and political split within the ranks of the Liberated Guardian staff led to the newspaper's demise in late-1973. The original Guardian pressed on and took on a more hard-line Marxist-Leninist ideology in the late-1970s, eroding that newspaper's reputation for investigative journalism. Readership and support for The Guardian declined through the 1980s and the paper ceased publication in 1992.
This special issue of the Liberated Guardian includes a variety of articles that explore the murder of George Jackson and the circumstances surrounding his killing.

Q: Flip single list item on a click and get detailed description on back of that item I am having problem in animation of a single list item. how can i get the flip view upon click on the single item and get the detail on back of the item?

A: Create your list row item as below
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/rellay"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/back"
    android:layout_width="300dp"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    android:background="@drawable/linearlayoutshape"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="BACK"
    android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Large"
   />

 <TextView
    android:id="@+id/front"
    android:layout_width="300dp"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    android:background="@drawable/linearlayoutshape"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="FRONT"
    android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.Large" />

In this case i used to textView as Front and Back.
Now inside your adapter add this method..
public void flip(final View front, final View back, final int duration)
{
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
        AnimatorSet set = new AnimatorSet();
        set.playSequentially(
                ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(front, "rotationY", 90).setDuration(duration / 2),
                ObjectAnimator.ofInt(front, "visibility", View.GONE).setDuration(0),
                ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(back, "rotationY", -90).setDuration(0),
                ObjectAnimator.ofInt(back, "visibility", View.VISIBLE).setDuration(0),
                ObjectAnimator.ofFloat(back, "rotationY", 0).setDuration(duration / 2));
        set.start();
    } else
    {
        front.animate().rotationY(90).setDuration(duration / 2)
                .setListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter()
                {
                    @Override
                    public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
                        front.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                        back.setRotationY(-90);
                        back.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                        back.animate().rotationY(0).setDuration(duration / 2).setListener(null);
                    }
                });
    }
}

Can Iodine make a difference?
There is nothing I have researched that indicates that iodine deficiency causes ADHD (although there is evidence that it causes miscarriages and cretinism). A teaspoon of iodine is all a person needs in their lifetime, however this does need to be by regular intake. The best source of iodine is seafood.


Ypres Reservoir Cemetery lies quite near the centre of the town Ieper. Ieper was, from October 1914 to the Autumn of 1918, the centre of a Salient held by the British (and for some months by the French) forces in Belgium. From April 1915 it was bombarded and destroyed more completely than any other town of its size on the Western Front, but even to the end certain buildings remained distinguishable.
Three cemeteries were made near the Western gate of the town: two between the prison and the reservoir and the third on the North side of the prison. The two between the prison and the reservoir were moved into the third cemetery which was called first, "Cemetery North of the Prison".Then it became known as "Ypres Reservoir North Cemetery" but now is known as "Ypres Reservoir Cemetery" This cemetery was begun in October 1915 and used by fighting units and Field Ambulances until after the Armistice.
It then contained 1,099 graves. These were added to from smaller cemeteries and from the battlefields of the Salient. There are now over 2,500, 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. Of these over 1000 are unidentified.

Сол Басс (; 8 мая 1920 — 25 апреля 1996) — американский графический дизайнер, киноплакатист который за 40 лет своей карьеры поработал с такими режиссёрами, как Альфред Хичкок, Отто Премингер, Стэнли Кубрик, Мартин Скорсезе.

Среди его наиболее известных работ — легендарная вступительная заставка в фильме «Головокружение», а также титры к лентам «Вестсайдская история», «К северу через северо-запад» и «Психо».

Ранние годы жизни
Сол Басс родился 8 мая 1920 года в Бронксе, Нью-Йорк. Закончив старшую школу Джеймса Монро, начал учиться в манхэттенской школе искусств Art Students League, пока не стал посещать классы Дьёрдя Кепеша () при Бруклинском колледже. Сол работал в голливудской типографии, делая рекламу к фильмам, пока не начал сотрудничество с кинорежиссёром Отто Премингером в разработке плаката к его музыкальной драме 1954 года «Кармен Джонс». Премингер был настолько впечатлён работой Басса, что попросил его сделать вступительную заставку для фильма. И тогда Басс впервые задумался над тем, что можно создать нечто большее, чем простые вступительные титры, чтобы не просто удивить аудиторию, но и внести вклад в общее настроение и тему фильма в самом начале просмотра. Сол одним из первых понял креативный потенциал опенинга и финальных вставок.

Вступительные заставки к фильмам
Басс стал широко известен благодаря вступительной заставке к драме Премингера «Человек с золотой рукой» 1955 года. По сюжету фильма джазовый музыкант мечтает начать новую жизнь и начинает борьбу со своей наркозависимостью, которая в середине 1950-х гг. была настоящим табу. Сол решил создать спорный опенинг, потому что тема фильма сама по себе была спорной. В качестве центрального образа он выбрал руку — на чёрной бумаге вырезалась рука наркомана; как и ожидал Басс, это произвело настоящую сенсацию.

Для Альфреда Хичкока Басс создал незабываемые заставки, используя кинетическую типографику, для фильмов «К северу через северо-запад», «Головокружение» и «Психо». Именно эти революционные работы и сделали Сола почитаемым графическим дизайнером.

Басс трудился в своей сфере 40 лет, используя разнообразную технику: от примитивно-плоской в «Анатомии убийства» до совмещения игры живых актёров и мультипликации. К концу своей карьеры Сол Басс работал с Джеймсом Бруксом и Мартином Скорсезе. Для Скорсезе Басс (в сотрудничестве со своей супругой Элаин), создал заставки к фильмам: «Славные парни» (1990), «Мыс страха» (1991), «Эпоха невинности» (1993) и «Казино» (1995, его последний опенинг). В поздних работах с Мартином Скорсезе он отошёл от «оптических образов» и перешёл к компьютерным технологиям. По словам режиссёра, Басс сумел превратить титры в вид искусства, пойдя по этому пути дальше своих предшественников, а в некоторых случаях у него получались своеобразные «мини-фильмы внутри фильма»: «Его движущиеся графические композиции служат фильму прологом — задают тон, создают настроение и намекают на предстоящие действия».

Кинопроизводство
В 1964 году Басс выступил режиссёром короткометражки «Ищущий глаз» (), после чего смонтировал фильм Джона Франкенхаймера «Гран-При» и сделал короткий документальный фильм «Почему человек творит?» (). Наконец, в 1974 году Сол снял свой единственный полнометражный фильм «Фаза 4» ().

Логотипы и прочий дизайн

Некоторые логотипы, созданные при участии Басса, стали хорошо узнаваемы в Северной Америке. Среди них логотип корпорации AT&T (1969 и 1983), авиакомпании Continental Airlines (1968), Dixie (1969) и United Airlines (1974).

Некоторые компании, для которых Солом Бассом были созданы логотипы:

Плакаты и титры к фильмам
Сол Басс занимался художественным оформлением фильмов крупнейших англоязычных режиссёров середины века — Отто Премингера, Альфреда Хичкока, Билли Уайлдера и Стэнли Кубрика. Его последние заготовки предназначались для фильма Стивена Спилберга «Список Шиндлера», но не были использованы режиссёром. Деятельность Басса в этой области, вдохновившая многих других дизайнеров, продолжалась около пятидесяти лет.

Study group to call for pullback
The Iraq Study Group, which wrapped up eight months of deliberations yesterday, has reached a consensus and will call for a major withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, shifting the U.S. role from combat to support and advising, according to a source familiar with the deliberations.
Nov. 30, 2006, 4:34 AM UTC / Source: a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/front.htm" linktype="External" resizable="true" status="true" scrollbars="true">The Washington Post</a
By By Thomas E. Ricks and Robin Wright
But the recommendation includes a series of conditions and qualifications that would govern any drawdown of forces, the source said. "It describes a process by which combat brigades could be pulled out, but there wasn't a specific timetable on it," he said. The source demanded anonymity because members of the bipartisan panel have been pledged to secrecy until the report is officially issued Dec. 6.
The issue of a timeline for drawing down troops -- both a specific date to begin a withdrawal and the pace -- had been major points of contention within the panel. The Bush administration has firmly rejected specifying a date for withdrawal, but Democrats have favored setting a time frame as a way to put pressure on the Iraqi government.
The recommendations in the still-secret report were agreed to after three days of closed-door discussions. The report, which is about 100 pages, will offer a comprehensive look at regional political and security issues as well as the troubled U.S. deployment in Iraq, according to sources close to the panel.
For weeks, the panel has debated reaching out to both Syria and Iran, an approach that the Bush administration has so far firmly rejected. Commission members have also backed the idea of a regional conference to bring all the neighbors into the process of stabilizing Iraq.
Contents of the panel's report were disclosed yesterday evening by the New York Times.
Under the recommendations of the commission, led by former secretary of state James A. Baker III and former congressman Lee H. Hamilton (D-Ind.), the emphasis of the U.S. military presence in Iraq would shift from fighting the insurgency and containing sectarian violence to backing up Iraqi security forces dealing with those problems.
Shift in emphasis
This approach would place less emphasis on combat operations and more on logistics, intelligence and training and advising Iraqi units. Also, a large residual combat force would be required to protect all the personnel involved in those operations and to provide a security guarantee to the Iraqi government.
Thus, even if the combat forces were withdrawn, the person familiar with the group's thinking noted, the recommendation envisions keeping in Iraq a "substantial" U.S. military force.
Some people knowledgeable about the group's deliberations said it might be possible in a year or two to halve the U.S. military presence, to about 70,000 troops. Earlier reports that said that the group simply had decided to call for withdrawing combat forces from Iraq were "garbled," the source familiar with the panel's recommendations added. "It wasn't as specific as that, and it was a lot more conditional," he said. He declined to discuss those conditions.
"We reached a consensus, which in itself is remarkable," said another source close to the 10-member panel of prominent Republicans and Democrats. Divisions had been deep in the run-up to this week's final deliberations.
The findings dovetail with recommendations being considered by the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, who are conducting their own review of Iraq policy. That group is leaning toward an option that involves a brief surge of troops in Iraq, followed by a partial drawdown and a shift from combat operations to training and advising, according to sources familiar with the process. Troops would remain in Iraq for five to 10 years under this option, which is known within the military as "go long."
Timing could be key
President Bush said earlier this fall that he looked forward to receiving the study group's report to bring fresh perspective to the Iraq crisis. But as some of the options under consideration began to leak out, the White House also ordered its own crash policy review, which began two weeks ago. The administration does not want to be in the position of having to adapt all of the Iraq Study Group report's recommendations, U.S. officials say, and its own review will provide an opportunity to pick and choose options.
The release of its report next week will combine with the Dec. 5 Senate confirmation hearings for Bush's nominee for defense secretary, former study group member Robert M. Gates, to bring new emphasis to the intensifying debate over the future of the U.S. presence in Iraq.
The issue now may be timing. Even expert advisers to the panel expressed concern that the report may be too late. Congressional sources voiced similar fears yesterday. "I don't think we have a great deal of time," said Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.). "I think there's still an opportunity, but that opportunity is rapidly closing on us."
The panel, which began deliberations in April, was organized jointly by four think tanks and funded with $1 million from Congress. It is run by the U.S. Institute of Peace.
The group consists of five Democrats -- Hamilton, former Virginia governor and senator Charles S. Robb, former defense secretary William J. Perry, Clinton confidant Vernon Jordan, and former Clinton chief of staff Leon E. Panetta -- along with five Republicans: Baker, former Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor, Reagan administration attorney general Edwin Meese III, former senator Alan K. Simpson (Wyo.), and former secretary of state Lawrence S. Eagleburger, who was a late replacement for Gates.
Forty experts from fields such as warfare, the Middle East, reconstruction and Islamic militancy were asked to put together options for the group but did not take part in the policy debates.
The group also interviewed Bush and former president Bill Clinton and spoke with other distinguished outsiders, including Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem and Iranian U.N. Ambassador Javad Zarif.
It traveled to Iraq only once, and most members generally stayed within the heavily fortified Green Zone in Baghdad.

Putting Your Trust In Princes
"No," Russell says, very firmly. "I will not countenance it."
Hollie sniffs. "Oh, straighten your face. Call it a starburst, if you like, instead of an arsehole."
The marred lieutenant closes his eyes and looks pained. "I will not countenance it. I am not – it is not funny!"
"Why do you care? Do you carry 'em?" Hollie wants to know, and then says nothing, very smugly.
Luce is trying not to laugh, not very successfully.
See, it's a bit like this. They had colours, previous. Quite inconspicuous colours, they were, a rather discreet shade of madder-red quartered with a white cross on a black background: several previous careful owners. It was possibly His Majesty's musketeers at Marston Moor that finished them altogether – that, or the red mare's habit of pivoting in circles on her own axis, at a point when the said colours were underneath her. (So, to be fair, was Lucey. Not one of his better days.) Or, possibly, the dog's tendency to sleep on them. Whichever. By the end of the Yorkshire campaign, Hollie's colours were in rags.
And then Hollie decided –
"I did not decide!" he says indignantly, "Henrietta decided I should have summat a bit more befitting!"
So Het decided to make something that was more befitting to her husband's status as a respectable senior officer.
"That wench wants her sight tested, she thinks you're respectable," Captain Venning – whose own troop colours are an unremarkable blue and bear neither the form of a fish nor a pie, to Hollie's disgust – mutters darkly.
They began life as Het's best company silk skirt, a garment she has possessed since her girlish youth. Hollie is prepared to be indignant about the sacrifice of the said garment, until Luce points out that anything that fitted her in her girlish youth is unlikely to be a comfortable fit after two years of marriage, a daughter, and provisioning the bottomless likes of one Colonel H. T. Babbitt.
"Are you suggesting that my wife has increased?" Hollie says, and Luce raises his eyebrows.
"She's my auntie, sir. Ihave known her some time. And, well, you are known to be a good solid trencherman, when the mood is on you. She was ever possessed of a competitive streak."
"I dunno where he puts it all," Venning mutters, not quite under his breath, "he never seems to get no fatter."
It's a sunburst. It's a black sunburst, a black sun with spiralling black arms, on that silvery birch-green background.
"You'd have to be some kind o' special to have an arsehole looked like that!" – Venning's determined to make the best of it, and Hollie is determined that having found a device that will give alarm and distress to the more proper members of his company he's sticking to it.
Russell won't even look at it if he can help it, which is going to make following it into battle awkward. Luce giggles every time he looks at it.
"Lot o' work she put into that," Hollie says smugly, and there is a shy tenderness in the way his hand lingers over the silk.
But a motto? That's going to be difficult.
Baiser mon cul, is Hollie's suggestion.
Luce favours Classical allusion, if they must -Contritionem praecidit superbia. Arrogance goes before contrition – pride before a fall.
But in the end they go with Russell's preference, as much as to shut him up as anything else.
Put not your trust in princes.

The Smell of Smoke – a true story….
It wasn't one of our better days, yesterday.
My son was at a party, and he was messing about with one of his rowdier mates. Fell off the stairs and hurt his foot, and by tea time he was crying with pain, couldn't put his weight on it.
And then next thing my mum's on the phone, asking if we have any butterfly plasters because she's fallen over the vacuum cleaner and split her head open, and she's bleeding heavily. (Mum's 75, not always great on her feet. It happens.)
And having sorted out the mess all round, when all was quiet bar the laundry, and little 'un was in our bed having woken up with nightmares at 2am, I decide this is the absolute perfect time to have a panic attack.
Again – it happens, I'm a lady of a certain age, I do this stuff. But the last thing my sleeping boys – the big one and the little one – need, is me shaking hard enough to rattle the bed under them. So I get up, and go and sit in the bathroom in the dark.
Oh – and the toilet started leaking last night, as well.
But I'm sitting there, very gingerly on my leaky khazi, in the dark,while the house sleeps and settles around me.
And I start to smell smoke. Cigarette smoke.
We don't smoke. I used to, gave it up ten years ago. Husband is an asthmatic and a very passionate anti-smoker. Little un's six.
Can't smell it in our bedroom at the front of the house, so it's not someone passing on the road outside. Just in the bathroom.
And that means it's downstairs. Someone is, or has been, smoking cigarettes downstairs.
It's two nights before Halloween. The night when the dead come back to watch their beloved living.
It's not the anniversary of his death. It's nothing so obvious. But I sat in the dark, smelling smoke, and stopped shaking, and went back to bed.
The toilet stopped leaking. Little un's bruised his foot, but he's all right. Mum stopped bleeding within a few minutes.
We're all right, dad. We're good.
You can go back, now.

Aretha Fanklin photographed in London on July 28, 1972.
A roundup of news Sunday (Feb. 10) from the Television Critics Association winter meeting, where TV networks and streaming services are presenting details on upcoming programs.
The late singer Aretha Franklin will be the subject of the National Geographic network's third installment of its Genius series.
The network said on Sunday that its next miniseries will feature the "Queen of Soul," who died last year. She's pushing author Mary Shelley back. National Geographic said last year that the Frankenstein author would be its third Genius, but said Sunday Shelley will be used for a later season.
Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso were the first two focuses of the Genius series.
The National Geographic network says it will begin producing a television series based on The Right Stuff, author Tom Wolfe's account of the beginning of the U.S. space program. Among the creators involved are Leonardo DiCaprio, whose production company is putting the project together, and David Nutter of Game of Thrones, who will direct the premiere episode of the series. Production is set to begin in the fall.


"What is my solution other than just bitching? If the state needs more money to fix this mess, take it out of another department (like education)."
There he goes again. Mr. Apples and Oranges. Trying to conflate two un-conflatable topics. Well, believe it or not, they have something very important in common. They are both government programs which did not go well. And what they have in common which is even more important, is you and I got stuck with the tab for a dead horse.
In 2011, Forbes came out with an article on how to waste $100 billion on DOD programs which don't work out. If my math does not fail me, $100 billion is one tenth of a trillion dollars. Not chump change for sure. The first program mentioned in the Forbes article is one I worked on while employed at United Defense. The program was going to be the best thing since canned beer. The Crusader Program, a self propelled howitzer upgrade, was going to replace the aging Paladin howitzer. The new Crusader howitzer, had more bells and whistles on it than a Good Humor truck.
After spending around two billion dollars, the Defense Department said, "Whoops - wrong artillery for the wrong war". Translation = it would have been great for taking on the Soviets on the flat plains of Europe. But the Soviets were no more, and we were involved in Afghanistan. So the program was scrapped. The one prototype is on display at Ft. Sill. It should be a shrine on how to waste a boatload of money for nothing.
In Minnesota right now, we have a perfect example of, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Yes, I am talking about the MNLARS program which is now more screwed up than Hogan's goat. The genius running the IT department is now asking the current legislature for even more money to fix it. Why? Seems to improve the existing non-broken system, we have taken the watch apart. And now we have no clue on how to put it back together without spending scads more money.
With all this wasting of money, did anyone lose his or her job? On the Crusader or MNLARS? That be a "negative" as we say in the service. Oh, somebody lost however - you and I.
We can't go back and fix the travesty of Crusader, but we can sure extract some justice from the MNLARS screw up. Me? I want heads to roll. Just like in the real world of business. When you make a colossal boo-boo which cost the company money, there is a price to pay for those who caused it. In Minnesota? Dayton will just promote them - or at worst, transfer them.
What is my solution other than just bitching? If the state needs more money to fix this mess, take it out of another department (like education). NOT ANOTHER TAXPAYER DIME FOR MNLARS! Period! And I want the person responsible fired! Damn it, these civil servants work for us, not visa versa!
That is my rant. Sorry it has to be at the start of a weekend. But enough is enough.


With the new year come resolutions and often top of the pile is give up alcohol. But there's no reason why beer, in moderation, can't be part of a healthy, balanced diet. Before we suggest some healthy food and Little Valley beer pairings to set you on your way this January, let's shine a light on the goodness in beer.
Beer is made with natural ingredients. It's fat free. It has fewer calories than red wine. You'll find more sugar in a can of coke, a chai latte and a tall frappuccino. So you see, beer can absolutely be part of your healthy January.
When it comes to the right drink to accompany food nothing can rival beer, not even wine. It has huge diversity of style and flavour and the versatility to pair with almost any dish. Here at Little Valley we produce a range of styles to suit every palate, so whatever healthy option you go for this month we have the right beer to pair with it.
Here are five January-friendly, healthy dishes paired with the perfect Little Valley beer that will really bring out the best in it.
This simple and nutritious dish from BBC Good Food is packed with protein, low in calories, gluten free and rich in omega-3 fats. Our Tod's Blonde has just the right level of flavour intensity to not overwhelm the vegetables, and the citrus notes in the beer will perfectly complement the salmon.
10 simple ingredients and less than an hour to make – making your own healthy sushi is easier than you think. With this tender and crunchy dish our Hebden's Wheat is the perfect partner. The lemon and coriander notes of the beer will add a depth of flavour to the sushi and its carbonation will cleanse the palate between bites.
Pesto, basil, spinach, sweet peas and prawns – this is a healthy and simple dish that's full of flavour. There's a denseness to this dish so the spritzy effervescence of Withens Pale Ale will slice through the texture while the beers malty sweetness will enhance the natural sweetness in the dish.
Another simple and healthy recipe from BBC Good Food. Here the chicken will be beautifully complemented by the citrus and ginger notes in our suitably named Ginger Pale Ale, lifting the flavours of the meat.
Just because you're going healthy for January (and possibly beyond) doesn't mean you have to miss out on chocolate desserts. This indulgent pud won't worry your waistline and is easy to make. Our Stoodley Stout is full of chocolate notes with hints of orange so is the perfect accompaniment to this decadent dessert.
If you're going healthy this new year don't leave out beer. Made with natural ingredients our vegan and organic beers are perfect for the dining table and can seamlessly form part of your new healthy regime.

Now that we have a president with numerous ties to the communist terrorists of the Weather Underground (e.g., Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and Jeff Jones), it was only a matter of time until the lower dregs of Hollyweird (e.g., ultra-radical moonbat Robert Redford) applied some of the historical revisionism Tinseltown is known for to whitewashing these fiends.
Shortly after that Declaration was made public, three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey — an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed.
The Weather Undergound aspired to take over the U.S. government and establish re-education camps in the American southwest; the organization estimated that it would be necessary to kill some 25 million people "die-hard capitalist[s]" who could not be reformed.
Some of the WU terrorist group's most prominent members remain belligerent and unrepentant to this day. Blaze coverage of WU co-founder Bernadine Dohrn calling conservatives 'Racist, Armed, And Hostile,' can be viewed here. Likewise, Dohrn's husband and WU co-founder Bill Ayers has unabashedly said that he still does not denounce WU violence.
Given that the movie stars Robert Redford, who glorified psychopathic communist executioner Che Guevara by executive producing The Motorcycle Diaries, even Obama's old buddy Ayers ought to come out of the movie smelling like a rose.
To be rehabilitated on behalf of Obama.

The idea of going to the dentist twice a year actually came from a toothpaste ad. There is no scientific explanation behind that. Researchers have looked into the idea and found no evidence which proves the benefits of going to the dentist twice a year. Once a year of cleaning will be enough and according to the American Heart Association, this lowers your risk of heart problem.
The date you see on the milk carton indicates the date when it cannot be sold anymore. The milk may actually have a week more of freshness. Smell it and proceed if it does not smell funny. And in case you take in sour milk, there is no need to worry, that's just like how milk cheese goes thru.
There is also no evidence that this cold remedy works. What you really eat does not matter. Taking in lots of water and a hot soup might help with the sore throat and the buildup of mucus.
Once a day is just fine. Plaque takes about a day to harden up. Once a day of brushing is better than brushing twice or thrice of half-baked tries. This is all about plaque though because you still have to deal with the bad breath in case. Be a good classmate or a co-worker and brush your teeth before going to school or work.

Family of British man on death row in Ethiopia hit out at government
Sunday 24 January 2016, 6:31pm
. Credit: Family handout.
The partner of a British man facing a death sentence in Ethiopia has accused the UK government of ignoring his plight.
Officials from the Foreign Office are visiting the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on Wednesday. Yemi Hailemariam wants them to intervene on behalf of her partner Andy Tsege.
Despite receiving millions in UK taxes every year through aid funding, the Ethiopian government has yet to respond to calls to release him from the UK.
Andargachew Tsege has been in prison since June 2014, after he disappeared at a stopover in Yemen while flying from Dubai to Eritrea. Rajiv Popat reports.
Ethiopia has been criticised by rights groups for its brutal crackdown on political opponents, civil rights activists and members of the media.
After being kidnapped Andy was held in secret detention and in solitary confinement for more than a year, with no access to legal representation or due process.
He was paraded on Ethiopian television, and filmed apparently "confessing" to a number of crimes, in a chilling interview were the sound of screaming can be heard in the background.
The UK gives millions of pounds in aid money to Ethiopa, and it says they have raised the case with the government multiple times - but to no avail. A delegation from the Foreign Office is visiting the country this week, and the family are hoping that some progress can be made.

Head and Neck Cancer Conditions
When caught early, head and neck cancer is highly curable, often with surgery, radiation, or a combination of the two. But the therapies are often complex, and the cancers are found in bone, skin and soft tissue, requiring the knowledge of top doctors to provide the best treatment.

They provide a plan tailored to your individual condition and needs—one that not only treats the cancer but also limits the impact on your appearance and your ability to swallow, breathe, eat and talk.

The end of November 2007 we had some cool days and some rainy days – kind of typical Texas weather at that time of year. It must have been before global warming.
Thanksgiving was on November 22 in 2007. We had a family gathering on Thanksgiving Day at the bay home of Carl and Cheryn Clark. Their home at that time was in San Leon, TX just east of Dickinson where Kathi and I were staying. Everyone in the family liked going to the bay house. The living quarters were upstairs, as are most of the homes in the immediate area. They are built to avoid the high tides, especially during hurricane season.
Carl is Kathi's older brother. A few of Cheryn's friends and most of the Clark family were there. All five of Carl's sons attended that year, John, Dave, Rick, Jeff and Carl, Jr. Kathi's mother Ginny and Jim were there and Kathi's younger brother Larry and his family. It was good to see everyone.
Everyone brought a dish to share and Cheryn made turkey and ham to make a full meal. We paraded through the kitchen making our plates and enjoying being together. I had small portions of a lot of different food items. I returned later for a refill of my favorites. I remember seeing some of the other guests doing the same thing.
John and his wife Shanna and their two sons, Justin and Austin were moving to California and they were excited about the move. Their home west of Houston was already sold and they would leave for California on Sunday.
I always enjoyed sitting on the porch and listening to the waves on the rocks. The sea breeze was almost continuous and it felt good to be outside. The younger children liked throwing rocks in the water. We had a lot of good times at that house, before Carl and Cheryn moved to Oklahoma and sold it. I hope the new occupants enjoy it as much as we did.
Inside sitting at the kitchen table, sitting on the couch in the living room area or on the porch, everyone was in conversation and having a good time. It was a great afternoon.

Verderers of The New Forest Higher Level Stewardship Scheme
New Forest Wetlands restoration scheme wins prestigious 2019 UK River Prize
This year's winning entry for the prestigious 2019 UK River Prize, which recognises and celebrates the achievements of individuals and organisations committed to improving our rivers and catchments, is 'New Forest Wetlands'. This is a ten year Higher Level Stewardship Scheme set up as a partnership between the Verderers of the New Forest, Forestry England and the New Forest National Park Authority. The announcement was made at the annual UK River Prize Awards Dinner, hosted by The River Restoration Centre on 30th April at the Britannia Adelphi Hotel, in Liverpool.
The UK River Prize is hosted and administered by the River Restoration Centre, partnered by Arup, South East Water, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and Natural Resources Wales.
This year's impressive level of entries were judged by a panel of industry experts, including Martin Janes (The River Restoration Centre), Oliver Lowe (Natural Resources Wales), Pam Nolan (Environment Agency), Ann Skinner (Independent) and Christopher Spray (University of Dundee).
After much deliberation, the overall winner was announced as the 'New Forest Wetlands' partnership project in Hampshire for its restoration of 60 stream and mire Sites of Special Scientific Interest, across the New Forest area. Fiona Bowles (The River Restoration Centre Chairman) presented Forestry England and project partners with the Nigel Holmes Trophy – named after a hugely influential and passionate river restoration and conservation advocate.
Commenting on the winners' achievement, Martin Janes, Managing Director of The River Restoration Centre said: "It was impossible to ignore the huge amount of work that this partnership has undertaken over the past nine years leading to the improvement and protection of rare wetland habitat. It was great to see the wide focus on 'wetlands', incorporating the stream network, their floodplains and the internationally important mires from which they spring. The restoration is contributing to slowing the flow of water by storing it for longer to reduce flood peaks as well as helping manage drought periods.
Visually, the finished work demonstrates incredible attention to detail, often restoring the stream component to its old course and floodplain with remarkably few visible scars to the landscape, as if it had been there for centuries.
The comprehensive partnership involves a range of agencies, the park authority and the Verderers who manage the grazing, as well as a strong local consultative group, and working with local communities to explain what is being done."
About the 'New Forest Wetlands' winning entry
Fletchers Thorns (left) and Soldiers Bog (right) restoration sites.
The New Forest HLS agreement is worth £19 million over ten years from 2010-2020 with a minimum of £750,000 available for wetland restoration per year. So far the New Forest HLS has delivered 59 projects, totalling 29km of restoration to the New Forest watercourses that had previously been deepened or realigned. The restoration of the mires and streams has reduced damaging erosion of the mires, bed incision and lateral erosion, and has increased floodplain connection, resilience during times of drought, and flood peak reduction.
Many streams in the area are failing current standards for inputs of sediment and phosphate and poor fish habitat; and their ecology suffers from being heavily modified through centuries of use. The project uses a holistic catchment approach, providing advice on soil and land use management in order to reduce sediment runoff to the rivers, and improve infiltration and hydrological processes to reduce flooding and improve drought resilience.
Nick Wardlaw, Higher Level Stewardship HLS Manager, at the Forestry England said: "The New Forest is an internationally important wetland and home to 75% of the remaining valley mires, or boggy areas, in North-Western Europe. Over the last nine years this project has been painstakingly restoring wetlands across the New Forest, changing artificially straightened streams to return their natural meanders and bends, and protecting them from further erosion.
"A project of this scale and complexity requires many different groups to work together and I would like to thank all of the organisations who help to look after the New Forest and the local community for their support and commitment. It is a great privilege for all involved to have played a part in ensuring these vital landscapes continue to thrive for many generations to come."

Metanarratives of Gender in Transnational Film Remakes: The Case of Miss Granny
Lee, S. (Invited speaker)
Department of International Studies Languages and Cultures
The strong film industries in East and South Asia over the past thirty years have led to an increase in transcultural remakes, both between Asia and Hollywood and amongst industries in the Asian region. Modifications are determined by attempts to glocalise the pre-text, or to go further, as Hollywood is often presumed to do, and substitute local cultural identities, beliefs and behaviours. Such replacement is apt to be less extensive in East Asia where, in particular, China, Japan and South Korea historically have shared and intermingled many cultural beliefs and practices. This paper will compare two sets of film remakes: on the one hand, a Hollywood remake of a Japanese film, Shall We Dance? (Japan, 1996; Hollywood, 2004), and on the other remakes of the South Korean box office hit Suspicious Girl (in English as Miss Granny, 2014) in China (as 20 Once Again, 2015), Vietnam (as Sweet 20, 2016) and Japan (as Suspicious Girl, 2016, released with the English title, Sing My Life). The principal character in each of the origin films is at a point in life where she or he feels alienated from society and family and is lonely. Sugiyama (Shall We Dance?) is a salaryman, with little in his life but his job; Oh Mal-soon is a grumpy old woman who sows discord in her family and is asked to leave. The story of each turns on a refashioning of subjectivity as each is "remade" by finding a means of creative physical expression (dance and song, respectively). The transformation script which underlies origin films and remakes serves as a platform for rethinking femininity, masculinity and the gendering of the self, and the ways this change is represented in various cultures establishes an effective dialogue between films and societies about the continuing gender project.

From 2014 to 2016, West Africa experienced the largest Ebola outbreak in history. As the virus, fear and rumors spread, Global Strategies' partner, Mother Patern College of Health Sciences, leapt into action. And while the outbreak stopped, Mother Patern College has not. Today, we are addressing the root causes of the epidemic by working to build a stronger, more resilient healthcare system.
Since 2014, Global Strategies has been working with our partners to provide full scholarships for Liberians pursuing nursing and other clinical degrees. Providing education and training within the community is essential to our mission and the sustainability of these life-saving programs.
Global Strategies is so proud to support this program, and regularly travels to Liberia to meet with the nursing scholars. Hear from some of our recipients, in their own words, as they describe their work, aspirations and the impact of these scholarships.

Well, the mastermind behind the campaign, a chap called 'Dustin', has posted a quick explanation of the campaign and its planning over at the Project Origami team blog.
"Overall, the campaign was successful beyond our wildest expectations and frankly maybe a little too successful. When we came up with this idea a few months ago, this was intended to be a small, grassroots effort to generate some interest in the UMPC."

Castle Hill Name Origin
Castle Hill is named after a former orchard in the area.
Castle Hill Settlement History
Settlement of the area dates from 1801 when a government farm worked by convicts was established. Population was minimal until the late 1800s and early 1900s, aided by improvements in access and transport, and the establishment of many orchards. The most significant development occurred in the post-war years, particularly from the 1970s. The population continued to increase from the early 1990s, a result of new dwellings being added to the area, particularly medium and high density housing.
Castle Hill Features
Major features of the area include Castle Towers Shopping Centre, Castle Mall Shopping Centre, Knightsbridge Shopping Centre, Home Hub Castle Hill, TAFE NSW - Western Sydney Institute (The Hills College - Castle Hill Campus), Castle Hill Cemetery, Castle Hill Heritage Park, Shire offices, Hills Sports Stadium, Castle Hill Showground, Pavilion Theatre, Bidjigal Reserve, Castle Glen Community Centre, Castle Hill Indoor Sports Centre, Bert Parkinson Reserve, Castle Glen Reserve, Castlewood Community Reserve, Cockayne Reserve, Coolong Reserve, Eric Mobbs Reserve, Fred Caterson Reserve, Fullers Road Reserve, Maurice Hughes Reserve, Pioneer Place Reserve, Spain Reserve, Woodchester Close Reserve, Wrights Road Reserve and numerous schools.
