He entered the woman's home and got into a fight with another man, Brandolini said. There were no serious injuries.
Oliveira was arrested at 6:19 a.m. and charged with burglary at nighttime, armed assault, domestic assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (the door), assault and battery, malicious mischief causing more than $250 damage, trespassing and disturbing the peace.

Dr. Chad Mathis joins The Heartland Institute to discuss his campaign for Congress in the state of Alabama. Mathis is also a surgeon, so he has a lot to speak of in regards to Obamacare; an issue that is increasingly concerning among the citizens of Alabama.
Mathis decided to run for Congress after hearing the endless concerns from his community regarding Obamacare and their ever-growing disbelief in the American Dream. Mathis sat down and read the Affordable Care Act (a truly heroic act, considering…) and was appalled. He plans to fight it if he wins. He also has his own health care reform in mind; health savings accounts (HSA). HSA's erase the middle man in health care exchanges, they allow people to spend their own money, and they are patient-centered- allowing patients the choices that should be theirs.
Along with fighting Obamacare and promoting HSA's, Mathis wants to crack down on government spending. He explains that we need to grow the economy, and we need government to get out of the way in order to make that happen.

Q: How to check wsusoffline Since standard Windows updates were stuck on a laptop (Windows 7 64-bit), I used wsusoffline.

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether certain foot/ankle surgeries would benefit from the routine use of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) as postoperative deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis. We conducted a formal cost-effectiveness analysis using a decision analytic tree to explore the healthcare costs and health outcomes associated with a scenario of no prophylaxis and a scenario of routine LMWH prophylaxis for 4 weeks. The 2 scenarios were compared for 5 procedures: (1) Achilles tendon repair (ATR), (2) total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), (3) hallux valgus surgery (HVS), (4) hindfoot arthrodesis (HA), and (5) ankle fracture surgery (AFS). The outcomes assessed included short- and long-term costs, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), and incremental cost per QALY gained. The costs were evaluated from the healthcare system perspective and are expressed in U.S. dollars at a 2015 price base. In the short term, routine prophylaxis was always associated with greater costs compared with no prophylaxis. For ATR, TAA, HA, and AFS, prophylaxis was associated with slightly better health outcomes; however, the gain in QALYs was minimal compared with the cost of prophylaxis (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio well above $50,000/QALY threshold). For HVS, prophylaxis was associated with both worse health outcomes and greater costs. In the long term, routine prophylaxis was always associated with worse health outcomes and either cost more (HA, AFS, HVS) or saved very little (ATR, TAA). We concluded that policies encouraging the routine use of LMWH after foot/ankle surgery are unlikely to be cost-effective. Decisions to perform prophylaxis should be on a case-by-case basis and should emphasize individual patient risk factors.

Body Care | Finance
The company, which has just won The Queen's Award for International Trade, has ambitions plans for its own-brand business division
Rainbow Cosmetics, the UK-based family-run cosmetics company, has set itself a £10m sales target for its own-brand division.
With brands including Sunkissed, Style & Grace and Tilly, the company has already made a strong impression on the global market and was recently awarded The Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade 2017 – an honour that recognises companies that have achieved significant growth over a three year period.
Over the last five years, Rainbow Cosmetics' own-brand division has grown by 52%, with its export sales growing 141% from 2013 to 2015, now present in 39 countries.
New market focus
We set about coming up with a targeted plan of how we were going to increase sales. We focused on individual markets and went for what we perceive to be quick wins.
Speaking to Cosmetics Business, Managing Director Stephen Sharman, explained that the accolade – which took the company 100 man hours to apply for – will stand it in good stead to continue expanding its export business because it is recognised internationally.
"The next part of the business strategy is that by 2020 we want to be at £10m for our own-brands of which £5m will be in export sales.
"The target for the next three years is also to have bigger distribution in Australia and...

In short, you just tell people what they said --whether they said it or not. Obviously, it works best on nebulous concepts or ideas.
You ever sit in on a timeshare presentation? Jenn and I sat through one a long time ago to get some tickets to Disneyland. I was wondering how they could afford to give them away, then I witnessed about a third of the room was sold the pitch by the time we were isolated from the group.
*Almost* did at DisneyWorld for their -then new- condos being built on piers out in the lake. But I could feel my wallet quivering and KNEW these guys would be top-notch.
I am kind of scared to go to one of those meetings. They are great at what they do and I would be scared I would sign up.
You have reminded me about how shite April fools stuff is online. Not clever or funny these days.
>Not clever or funny these days.
Wait until deepfakes-generated content start to kick in.
They are great at what they do and I would be scared I would sign up.
The one who did our presentation was dumb as a stone. I asked about "opportunity costs" of that money and she had no idea what I was talking about. Several other QA exchanges went that way.
>In short, you just tell people what they said --whether they said it or not.
Any distant enough examples you can share?
Somewhat related, I recently read a book on body language by and ex FBI examiner. Pretty interesting stuff on signals people send whether they know it and try to repress them or not.

Tim Johnson Quotes Analysis
You Can't Teach an Old Dog New Tricks Tim Johnson was a recognizable dog in Maycomb County, Alabama. Tim Johnson was regarded as "The pet of Maycomb county"(105). This title is very interesting. This means Tim Johnson is the mascot for the people of Maycomb. Tim Johnson's owner was Mr. Harry Johnson. Mr. Harry Johnson traveled in a mobile bus and lived on the southern part of town. Tim Johnson is introduced in chapter ten. This is the first time in the book Tim Johnson is mentioned. Tim Johnson is suspected to have rabies by the children at first glance. After running for help, it is agreed the dog is not in a healthy state. The dog having rabies causes the neighborhood to stand still. Atticus Finch is given the job to put the dog down. He successfully stops the dog. Even though Tim dies, this is not the last time the scene is mentioned. This scene is mentioned during important moments in the book. Tim Johnson was not just a lovely dog that was unexpectedly infected by rabies. He was not just introduced for entertainment. Tim Johnson was introduced to for a far greater reason. This scene is a revelation to the reader. This scene reveals how Atticus Finch is always called upon to the dirty work for the county. Atticus does not run, but rather stand up and complete the task that is always given to him. It was not as simple as just shooting a mad…show more content…
The story revolves around the Finch family. The Finch family includes Jean Louise Finch known as Scout, Atticus, and Jem. The children grow up being scared of a character named Boo Radley.

As the story progresses, and the two "mockingbirds" are being accused and attacked both verbally and physically, the identity of the mockingbirds surfaces. Tom Robinson was a crippled African American man whose left arm was a foot shorter than his right, where it was caught in a cotton gin.

However, in the poem, "We Wear the Mask," by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the narrator and his people, the African Americans, suffer tragedies, such as discrimination and racial hate. Despite this, the people are coerced to keep a positive outward demeanor in order to appear strong and to not allow others to take advantage of them.

In my humble opinion based off those aspects, I feel that Atticus Finch is the strongest of the characters in the novel. Atticus's Character traits of Courage, Responsibility, and Integrity are most clearly shown through how he Defends Tom Robinson despite the odds, How he Parents his kids, and how he selflessly defends Tom even though it's Unpopular to defend a black man. Atticus's Acts of courage in the novel are quite astounding. As quoted by Atticus Himself "Courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what" (Lee.149)
Fahrenheit 451 Courage Analysis
Many people Question the definition of courage, it could be what a person does or even who they are. Courage is one of the most important things a person could have. For insists Guy Montag from the novel" Fahrenheit 451" shows acts of courage by standing up for something. Boo rabley from "To kill a mockingbird" does something to help somebody that takes courage. Last Eliezer from" Night "which is a book that tells a life story of someone in the Holocaust Genocide, shows courage because he is in a life threating situation and stays strong the whole way through.
How Does Atticus Represent Injustice
The mad dog represents the mob, injustice, and anything Atticus has to fight. Atticus takes one shot and kills the mad dog. He kills it because Heck Tate wouldn't do it and he asked Atticus to do it. Atticus is very courageous because he risked missing and shooting something or someone else.
In Our Court's All Men Are Created Equal
Some feel that our courts are safe and true, others would say our courts have various flaws and don't always fulfill the truth. In Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch is the father to two young children, Scout and Jem, and works as a lawyer as a single father in their small southern town in Alabama during the thirties. Atticus gets handed a case when he has to defend a black man over a white woman. Through the use of racism and symbolism, Atticus's claim that "out courts are the great levelers, and in our court's all men are created equal," is proved to be unsuitable.
To Kill A Mockingbird Real Courage Analysis
I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see through it no matter what."
Finch's Idea Of Courage In To Kill A Mockingbird
If someone went against all the social norms today to protect the wellbeing of someone else, or to do what is right, would it be considered courage? Harper lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird, told a story of two children and their father's battle to win equality in the small town of Maycomb, Alabama. Jean Louise, also known as Scout and her brother Jeremy, or Jem, witnessed their father, Atticus Finch, fight society to earn Tom Robinson freedom. When Tom is accused of raping and beating Mayella Ewell, Mr. Finch is chosen to represent him in court because he is the only man in Maycomb who sees him as an equal. In To Kill a Mockingbird Lee shows us many examples of her idea of courage; Atticus saves from the mob, as well as representing him in court, and Boo Radley saves Scout and Jem.
Atticus Finch Heroism
To Kill a Mockingbird is a timeless novel by Harper Lee; in the book Harper Lee illustrates the heroism of Atticus Finch. The novel is set in the early 1930s in Maycomb County, Alabama. At the time of the book racism was a part of life and the divide between blacks and whites were unprecedented. To Kill a Mockingbird is about Atticus Finch, a white lawyer, who defends an innocent black man in a corrupt court system and challenges the ideals of his community, while teaching his children integrity. Atticus Finch is a hero because of his courage, courtesy and morals.

Off The Script Films' Review
Zephyr Entertainment brings an eerie tale to life with their short film Bum Promises, which explores the story of a homeless man, manipulating his way into the home of two grieving siblings. A dreary mood is immediately set by Michael Digioia's somber cinematography and the haunting original music by Haven Johnson. Many of these elements shine a light on the already tension-filled storyline. Ian Boyd's performance brings depth and darkness to his broken character. The screenplay, provided by Jason David, brings an emotional twist through climactic scenes all throughout the film. A high level of professionalism is clearly seen in their production. Off The Script Films searches for the true ingenuity within indie cinema, and we are proud to recognize this project as our next Short Film of the Month.

Reproductive medical ethics - This module will take an indepth look at the emotional psychology of the typical infertility patient. There has been much evidence that infertility treatments leave the patient with a syndrome similar to post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD.) This course will cover topcs relevant to the field of reproductive medicine such as: guiding the patient through her treatments emotionally, and supporting the shen; not taking advantage of the fragile emotional state of the infertility patient; assessing and helping the patient to determine when treatments are no longer working, when to halt treatments; and how to emotionally go on.


The paper examines the effectiveness of the price stabilization mechanism for the broiler and poultry industry in Taiwan during the period 1999 to 2008. After presenting some background information on the domestic marketing system and price stabilization mechanisms for the broiler and pork industry in Taiwan, the paper discusses the smooth transition autoregressive (STAR) methodology. Monthly hog and broiler price data from 1999 to 2008 at farm, import and retail levels are analyzed using the nonlinear, non-asymmetric logistic STAR model in order to determine price transmission structure. A price threshold parameter is used so that price transmission levels can vary, thereby allowing an examination of the efficacy with which the hog and broiler price stabilization mechanisms take effect.

Fabled Una and the Lion proof set returns to auction
A celebrated Una and the Lion proof set minted in the first year of Queen Victoria's reign returns to auction next month.
Roland Arkell
The 1839 set of 15 coins - 11 of them the finest formally graded examples of their kind - was last sold by Baldwin's in London in 2015 for a record £420,000. It comes for sale on October 29 at the MDC numismatic auction in Monte Carlo.
The most notable coin in the set is the famous Una and the Lion gold £5 pattern - among the most beautiful and most-wanted of all milled coins.
The obverse displays the famous 'young head' portrait of Victoria by William Wyon while the reverse portrays her in full coronation regalia as Una leading the lion. It has the legend based on Psalm 119:133 Dirige Deus Gressus Meos (May God Direct My Steps).
Top graded coins
This example, graded Proof 66 Ultra Cameo by the Numi smat ic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), is the finest by two points of 32 examples graded by NGC.
Before its sale five years ago, this set was family-owned for decades – probably acquired soon after it was sold for 10 guineas at Leigh Sotheby and Wilkinson in 1856 (a cutting from the 1856 sale catalogue is glued to the base of the box).
There is a chance it will now be split. The coins will be offered first as eight separate lots – beginning with the £5 coin and ending with the penny, half penny and farthing. However, bidders will then be given the opportunity to keep the set together by exceeding the aggregate price of the eight lots. The top bidder will receive the original box.
The last 1839 proof set sold at auction – one in a private collection since February 1938 when it had been bought at Spink for £37 – took £220,000 at Dix Noonan Webb in 2017.
However, more spectacular sums have been paid for individual coins from the set. In the same month, Baldwin's of St James's set a new record for a British five pounds piece when a 'good, extremely fine' example of the 1839 Una and the Lion coin took £340,000.
The current auction record for a British coin was set in New York in January 2019 when a 1703 Vigo five guineas piece sold at $900,000 (£703,000) at a sale conducted by Baldwin's of St James's.
A price of £1m was paid early this year by a private collector for a 1937 Edward VIII trial sovereign in a deal negotiated by the Royal Mint.

Q: JNI & C - Pointer to pointer I have a question related to pointers to pointers in JNI.
If I have the following function in C:
void myfunction(int **pp);

How do I get the reference of int **pp in Java?  And how do I pass to a JNI function the reference in order to modify it?
Can you lead me to a solution? I can work with simple pointers but not with pointers to pointers.

A: The JNI equivalent would instead substitute the method's first argument with a long primitive array.
int alloc_opaque_type(T** pp);

vs
public static native int alloc_opaque_type(long[] pp);

A: In Java, you cannot get a Java object as a pointer to modify it, if that's what you are asking. Nor can you convert a Java object directly into a C struct or a C++ object. You can however get a Java object as a jobject, manually get its primitive values (such as ints or chars from Strings) and use those values to construct whatever you need in the C code. You can cast jint to int, jdouble to double, etc..., but not jobject to struct or an array.
If you obtained a pointer and passed it into Java (as an int), then you can pass that int back to C (via JNI) and convert that int back to a pointer.

The interior is VERY light in color (almost ivory) and I needed something to withstand the sloppy michigan winter. While the mats protect the floor, they are not as precisely fit toward the rear end of the mat (closest to seats) so when the seat is moved forward to allow for back seat access the driver's seat peels the mat upward and bends it. This only exacerbates the issue the next time I need to move the seat forward. Very disappointing for the price they charge for these floor mats.

The COVID Bill Shows Democrats Know How to Fight Economic Inequality
Will they keep it up?
Oliver Contreras/Zumapress
Since kicking off his run for president, Joe Biden has promised to create a more equitable American economy, coining a slogan for the legislative overhauls that it will take to make this happen: "build back better."
The $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package that is expected to pass the House today before heading to President Biden's desk will not, alone, achieve that goal. But the package is historic in its ambitious approach to alleviating poverty, allocating billions—if temporarily—in stimulus checks to households, expanding unemployment relief, and directing cash payments to families with children.
The package is intended to be a lifeline helping families through the twin crises they've now faced for a full year—a deadly pandemic, and a recession that has pummeled low-wage workers the hardest. But it also sets out the policy contours of what is possible over the next four years if Biden and Democrats choose and succeed in making some of this package's temporary changes permanent.
"Think of this relief package as a demonstration of what we could do," says Claudia Sahm, a former Federal Reserve economist and a senior fellow at the Jain Family Institute.
"This package is not about fixing the problems that we came into COVID with, but it is about making sure that we don't leave COVID in an even worse place. Because then building back better [would] be building back better out of a bigger hole," she says.
The bill's best known provisions include a third round of stimulus checks—the largest ones yet, at $1400 per person in eligible households—and an extension of a $300 per week boost to unemployment benefits into September. But beyond that, there are a number of provisions that could lay groundwork for the administration's work towards economic equity post-pandemic. Here are just a few:
Expansion of the Child Tax Credit: Until now, most families with children have been able to claim a $2000 per child reduction of their taxable income. This child tax credit had a number of eligibility caveats, including the fact that it wasn't fully "refundable"—tax-speak meaning that some low-income families weren't able to claim the full benefit. But the Democrats' stimulus package changes this rule, while also significantly increasing the credit amount and changing how the credit is delivered to families.
Now the credit will be fully refundable, worth $3000 per child, and $3600 for each child under the age of 6. What's more, the bill makes it so that part of the credit will be paid out in advance to families, in the form of a monthly $250 or $300 per child check from the government, beginning in July.
Eligibility for the expanded credit will phase out when individuals with kids begin to earn more than $75,000 and couples more than $150,000, and the program is only set to run through the end of 2021. Were it to be made permanent, analysts have found that it could reduce child poverty by roughly 40 percent.
This expansion of the child tax credit—and the move to paying out part of it as an allowance to families—represents a quick shift in policy thinking. "In February of 2019, it was a fairly niche idea to have cash transfers per child," says Sahm. "This was not the consensus among progressives or left of center economists. It's really amazing how fast a policy can get momentum built behind it."
Even this summer, it wasn't clear whether Biden's team was willing to commit to the creation of this kind of benefit. But as the pandemic has dragged on, there has been a shift toward policies that favor getting cash into Americans hands: The Heroes Act, passed by House Democrats last summer, included a temporary child allowance. And last month, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) proposed his own version that would provide an even more generous child allowance, but by decreasing other safety net programs.
Removes taxation on student loan forgiveness: The COVID relief package includes a provision that would make student loan forgiveness tax-free through January 2026. This provision eliminates a key concern for those pushing to cancel student debt cancellation: Currently, most cancelled loans would still be subject to taxation, potentially costing borrowers thousands of dollars. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) hailed the passage of this provision as an important milestone that paved the way for Biden to cancel student debt and "lift this impossible burden off of tens of millions of families."
A number of economists have noted that student debt cancellation could help close the racial wealth gap, as minority borrowers face disproportionately higher levels of student debt. Its impact, though, will depend in part on how much debt Biden and Democrats decide to cancel: Last month, Biden made clear he would not be willing to cancel more than $10,000 via executive action—a far lower figure than the $50,000 in cancellation pushed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other progressives.
Lower health insurance costs: Under the Affordable Care Act, the government has subsidized the cost of private health plans purchased by low- and middle-income families through government exchanges. But the subsidies tap out when you make more than four times the federal poverty rate—about $51,000 for individuals and $106,000 for a family of four.
Democrats' COVID relief package will expand subsidies to fully cover the premiums for families and individuals earning up to 150% of the federal poverty level, and will limit all other buyers using the exchanges to out of pocket costs that are no more than 8.5% of their income. These subsidy expansions are slated to expire at the end of 2022. The Congressional Budget Office concluded in February that the expansion will make health insurance coverage more affordable for millions.
Medicaid expansion incentives: Though the Affordable Care Act covers 90 percent of the costs associated with expanding Medicaid, there are still 12 states that have refused to take that step, leaving about 2.2 million low-income Americans without health coverage. The stimulus bill offers a temporary bump in federal funding over the next two years for those holdout states, that would not only cover the costs of expansion, but, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, give those states additional billions to spare.
A number of Republican governors in those states appear to be unswayed by the incentive for now. But this piece of the stimulus package lays legislative groundwork for investing in further Medicaid expansion—a policy that has been shown to reduce income inequality, and to narrow racial disparities in access to health care.

Would Modern ICT-Based Civilization Collapse As Previous Ones.
Advances of science, the transfer and use of technology require not only common languages but also effective communication and immediate transfer, validation and use of knowledge. These requirements are imperative for bringing about global, or at least regional, sustainably-based technological civilization. Though knowledge in itself has expanded enormously we are facing an ever increasing, if not accelerating, gaps between where knowledge is produced and where knowledge is needed.
Failure to bridge and narrow these gaps is likely to cause collapse because of expanding majority of outsiders that are more and more marginalized by the severe requirements from the minority that have unlimited access to knowledge.

Louisville Orchestra Not Alone In Chapter 11 Filing
The Louisville Orchestra will turn 75 next year. But the orchestra's administrators and musicians will be more focused on staving off the ensemble's death than celebrating its birth.
The orchestra filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last week as management seeks to cut 1.15 million dollars in operating costs. That's the difference between the current budget and average yearly revenues. The musicians, however, disagree, and say the orchestra is not actually broke. They're asking the court to throw the Chapter 11 filing out.
If the court upholds the filing, the orchestra will tentatively have until early April to draft a plan for reorganizing its finances. But that will require compromises with musicians and the court, and the path to solvency will likely be much longer.
Bankruptcy isn't a new idea to the Louisville Orchestra—its leaders nearly declared it in 2006. And they wouldn't have been alone. In recent years, ensembles in San Jose, San Antonio and Honolulu have all gone through bankruptcy proceedings.
Last month, reports from Hawaii said the Honolulu symphony was considering folding, rather than continuing to search for an agreement in court. Orchestras in California and Colorado have followed similar paths, though new ensembles were formed afterward in some cases.
The Charleston, South Carolina Symphony Orchestra stopped playing in March, but didn't take the matter to court. Last week, the orchestra's management and musicians reached an agreement to cut one million dollars from the budget through a series of steps, including dropping 12 full-time musicians from the ensemble.
"You have a core of musicians that are supplemented by extra players as needed. That's a very common model," says Louisville Orchestra CEO Rob Birman, who has discussed a 16-member reduction here. "What we're seeking is nothing different than trying to be within the average of those orchestras in our budget class from across the country."
But musicians' committee chair Kim Tichenor says Louisville doesn't need to cut…more money is out there.
"I think bankruptcy could have absolutely been prevented. The musicians came up with a fundraising plan back in September," she says. "Unfortunately, our management refused to fundraise until we had taken pay cuts"
No matter what either says, the fact is that talks broke down. They will formally resume on January 6th with more parties involved. That's when a judge will meet with the orchestra and its creditors, among them Louisville Public Media.
"There'll be more information that's presented, the judge usually considers what's been put into place, he or she will assign a custodian to oversee the case and they'll go through a fact-finding process," says Drew McManus, a Chicago-based arts consultant who often works with orchestras.
McManus says January 6th will mark the start of what could be a year of bankruptcy proceedings, even though a reorganization plan is due in April.
"I would be surprised if they get a decision out of the court by the end of the season, in this case it would be June," he says. "I think it would be more likely to expect it to last through next fall."
The parties could also settle out of court and put an end to proceedings. In the meantime, musicians won't be paid after December 15th, and that's when performances will stop.

Will the Texans Call On Brett Favre?
The Texans are one of the hottest teams in the league, 8-3, with a two game lead over division rival Tennessee. They've won five straight and have the second largest point differential in the league, behind only the 11-0 Green Bay Packers (Pa ckers – +155, Texans – +114). Arian Foster is running almost as well as he did last year, and their defense continues to be dominant after the loss of Mario Williams. So do they honestly need a quarterback? Franchise QB, Matt Schaub is out for the year, and so is backup Matt Leinart after he broke his left collarbone in the first half of yesterday's victory. Rookie from North Carolina, T.J. Yates is penciled in as the starter with former Jets backup, Kellen Clemens, as the only other signed QB on the roster. Rumor has it that the Texans plan to contact former Chiefs QB, Brodie Croyle, as a possible signing this week. Let's call a spade a spade here…those are three bad to mediocre QBs (Clemens probably being the best of the bunch). Is this a playoff team? Absolutely. Can they win a game with any of those QBs? Probably not. Are they Super Bowl contenders with any of those QBs? Definitely not. Would this team be better if Brett Favre was playing QB instead of these three? (nodding my head emphatically) When Peter King of Sports Illustrated asked Texans GM, Rick Smith, if he would call on Favre, Smith responded that he "didn't want to bring the circus to town." But when Gark Kubiak was asked the same question, he responded that he wouldn't close the door on anyone. We all know Favre is old and washed up, but he makes for some great TV. He could certainly muster up a couple of big games by year end. I say do it….even if it is just for us to follow another phenomenal storyline. It would certainly make us pay more attention to the Texans than the Cowboys…don't pretend like the Texans ownership wouldn't love that.

I was glad to see this article on the LA Phil's new conductor, Gustavo Dudamel, conducting the Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles. Anything that makes kids more excited about music can only be good for our city and to give them access to someone like this along with the instruments, rehearsal space, etc. has the potential to take their musical pursuits to a whole other level. Let's hope the funding stays intact.


This recipe was created by Nuxia for the arrival of spring. A simple and tasty dish starring the green color, is that so stood out from the earth in this wonderful period of tepid warmth.
chopped red onion or alternatively, white.
Prepare the sauce: In a pan heat a little oil and add the chopped onion and sauté just add the peas. stir quickly and add a glass of water for cooking and a pinch of salt. The cooking time varies depending on what kind of peas are used, ie fresh, precooked, or frozen. (In the meantime you can prepare the crepes). Once cooked turn off the heat and allow to heat with a lid. Turn the oven to 220 ° C - ( 425° F ) . Prepare the batter for crepes: Whisk the eggs, add the flour, milk, olive oil, parsley, salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg. (The extra virgin olive oil is added into the batter so they do not need to grease the pan after cooking the crepes. Alternatively use the melted butter. This is a trick of the chef in my house, of which I am proud! ) Mix well, so that no lumps in the dough. Heat a nonstick skillet. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan to cover with a thin layer on the bottom of the pan and cook for a minute or so, both sides of the crepes. Continue until all crepes.

Why Publishers Should Capitalize on January Being a Slow Month to Start 2016
December 22, 2015George Seymour1 Comment
The hectic gaming season of 2015 has all but passed as we lead up to Christmas. Parents, friends and family members will have bought their gaming gifts for each other and publishers take advantage of this by releasing games in the latter months of the year. The thing is, this means the start of the year is usually a pretty quiet time for gaming and this year will be no exception. There could be quite a bit of untapped potential if publishers decide to release games in the earlier months of the year but instead we tend to, more often than not, see games releasing from March onwards. Let's talk about how releasing games in the early months of the year could well be quite lucrative for game companies.
To start with, like I've said previously these companies like to release their games in the run up to Christmas and around the Summer period. This means that there is very little competition around January and February time and you would think these companies would take advantage of that. Think about this, Tomb Raider is obviously a really great game that came out earlier this year. Unfortunately, it sold fairly poorly which is sad to see from such a beloved franchise but this is in no small part due to the fact that it released on the very same day as one of the biggest Game of the Year contenders in Fallout 4. If Tomb Raider released mid-way through January we could well have seen a really successful entry into the franchise and more opportunity and capitol to produce the next in the saga.
The argument is that most people are all spent up after Christmas and no one can really afford to buy video games in the months after and this is why they are released to be competitive for the holiday season. However, a lot of kids (and possibly adults) will have gotten a fair amount of money on Christmas morning and would be just dying to find an excuse to spend it. What do kids buy when they are given a decent amount of money? Games and accessories. This is where the majority of the sales would come from, as well as the crowd of people who would line up to buy the game after seeing the announcement anyway.
There are also other, albeit smaller incentives to release a game early on in the year. Things like being the best selling game of this year so far may not mean a whole lot in the first few months of the year, but it will at least get people talking about it, meaning free publicity and more sales.
At the end of the day, there isn't really a bad time to release your video game any more as people will always have money to buy your product and fans will always find a way to get their hands on it. It isn't good for gaming to have a 2 or 3 month lull in game releases so games coming out at this time are sure to sell like hot cakes!

thats not really how it works for many reasons .
Not only do we need breaks and lull periods , for financials reasons and to catch up on backlogs … but even in your exemple kids will still use the holidays money to get any big or important stuff they missed . Except a few hits , whenever publishers releases their games in january , it's still a graveyard for games (along with july) .
It is the period where they send off lesser projects to die or games that sell the same limited among to a niche audience any other time of the year .

Dying Breed is een Australische thriller/horrorfilm uit 2008 onder regie van Jody Dwyer. Het verhaal hiervan werd geïnspireerd door de legende over de Ier Alexander 'The Pieman' Pearce, die in 1824 werd opgehangen in Van Diemensland (het latere Tasmanië). Hij was naar Australië verbannen, dat toen nog onderdeel van het Britse Rijk was, maar ontkwam daar aan vervolging door het woud rond de Pieman River in te vluchten. Toen hij teruggevonden werd, bleek dat hij zich in leven had gehouden door mensenvlees te eten.

Verhaal

Nina (Mirrah Foulkes) en haar vriend Matt (Leigh Whannell) gaan samen naar Tasmanië omdat zij daar het werk van haar omgekomen jongere zusje (Sally McDonald) wil afmaken. Die was op zoek naar aanwijzingen dat de Tasmaanse tijger daar nog levend rond zou lopen, terwijl het dier officieel in 1936 is uitgestorven. Nina's zusje stuurde haar niettemin een foto van een verse pootadruk, die volgens computeranalyse met zekerheid van een Tasmaanse duivel is. Vlak na het versturen werd ze op twintigjarige leeftijd dood aangetroffen in de Pieman River. Officieel was ze verdronken, maar toen ze gevonden werd, ontbraken om nooit onopgehelderde reden al haar tanden.

Nina en Matt ontmoeten in Australië zijn jeugdvriend Jack (Nathan Phillips). Die gaat mee zoeken, deels om Matt te helpen, maar niet minder omdat een lokale televisiezender hem 1.000.000,- Australische dollar in het vooruitzicht heeft gesteld in ruil voor beeldmateriaal van een nog levende Tasmaanse tijger. Jack stelt het stel voor aan een vierde persoon die meereist, zijn meest recente vriendin Rebecca 'Becky'  (Melanie Vallejo). Samen stappen ze in Jacks nieuwe auto en rijden ze naar het kleine nederzettinkje Sarah Island, dat aan de monding van de Pieman River ligt. De bevolking is er beschaafd, maar leeft primitief, is voor het grootste gedeelte hardhandig in de omgang en zichtbaar een product van inteelt. Hoewel Ethel (Elaine Hudson) ze vertelt dat haar logeerkamers volgeboekt zijn, heeft mede-eigenaar Harvey (Bille Brown) wel een paar kamers waarin de twee stellen kunnen overnachten, mits ze daaraan geen hoge eisen stellen. Ze accepteren die graag en de volgende morgen gaan ze met zijn vieren in hun bootje de Pieman River op, op zoek naar een Tasmaanse tijger in het dichtbeboste binnenland.

Tussen Nina en jack heerste al een negatieve spanning en die loopt op wanneer zij een foto wil maken van een konijn dat ze ziet zitten. Voor ze af kan drukken, wordt het beestje doorboord door een pijl uit de kruisboog van Jack, die op plezierjacht is. Op dat moment wordt op Sarah Island Alfred (Reg Evans) wakker uit een nare droom. Hieruit blijkt hoe Nina's zusje destijds vedronk. Alfred heeft dat vanaf nabij zien gebeuren. Ze is verdronken in de Pieman River omdat ze zich daar wanhopig vanaf een clif op grote hoogte in liet vallen. Dit nadat ze ontsnapte uit de handen van Harvey, die eigenlijk Rowan Pearce heet. Hij blijkt een directe nakomeling van de legendarische kannibaal Alexander Pearce, die in de bossen van Tasmanië leefde op mensenvlees. Sinds de tijd van Alexander Pearce heeft de familie altijd haar directe bloedlijn voortgezet. Vrouwen als Nina's zusje werden daarom gevangengenomen en als broedmachine gebruikt om de Pearce-populatie op stand te houden. Haar tanden waren getrokken zodat ze zich daarmee niet kon verweren tijdens de verkrachtingen. Hoewel ze heeft weten weg te komen, hadden Harvey en zijn vrienden haar snel gevonden. Toen ze bij de clif aankwam, kon ze alleen nog springen of mee teruggevoerd worden.

Voor het viertal reizigers begint de nachtmerrie als Nina daadwerkelijk een Tasmaanse tijger denkt te zien. Ze gaat snel haar fototoestel pakken, maar als ze weer buitenkomt ziet ze het beest niet meer. Tijdens het zoeken raakt Rebecca vervolgens even gescheiden van de groep. Tot haar schrik loopt ze midden in het woud het kleine meisje Katie (Sheridan Harvey) tegen het lijf. Omdat ze al haar aandacht op het kind richt, ziet ze niet dat ze van achteren aangevallen wordt. Na een klap op haar hoofd valt ze dood neer. De man die haar aanviel neemt daarna direct een hap uit haar gezicht. Wanneer de andere drie merken dat Rebecca weg is, willen ze haar gaan zoeken, maar lopen ze Harvey en Alfred tegen het lijf. Alfred kwam er thuis achter dat zijn dochtertje zoek was en is haar daarom samen met Harvey gaan zoeken. Terwijl Harvey vervolgens Katie terug naar Sarah Island brengt, gaat Alfred met het drietal reizigers mee op zoek naar Rebecca. Het drietal weet niet dat de tunnel waar hij ze doorleidt, uitkomt op het jachtgebied van Harvey en zijn familieleden, die voedsel - en in Nina een nieuwe broedmachine - in het vooruitzicht hebben gekregen. Het gezelschap begint te beseffen in wat voor nachtmerrie te zijn terechtgekomen wanneer ze bij een hutje aankomen dat vol ligt met bloed en botten. Bovendien hangt buiten Rebecca aan een haak, met een van haar onderbenen al afgezet.

The miracles of Jesus were spectacular displays of power that told the world that He was and is the Christ, the Son of God. To some, Jesus was calling on the power of the devil to suspend the laws of nature, healing the sick, casting out demons, feeding five thousand with only a child's lunchbox, or walking on water.
On the day of Pentecost, the apostles Peter addressed a Jewish audience and launches into a sermon about Jesus.
Peter begins this Christ centered sermon by point out how God testified of Jesus by miracles. In other words, the God worked through Jesus by allowing the miracles of Jesus to show people that Jesus was His Son.
In this verse, Peter employed three words to describe the supernatural.
Wonders: How people reacted to these supernatural events.
Signs: The reason behind these supernatural events.
What are Miracles, Wonders and Signs?
Miracles, wonders, and signs, each describe different aspects of a supernatural event. A miracle is the supernatural even itself. A wonder is the reaction people had toward the miracle. A sign is the reason behind the miracle, and it was to indicate something. Let's give some thought to each of these in detail.
Miracles are supernatural events demonstrating the power of God. By definition, they are events that cannot be explained by the laws of science and nature.
Have you ever heard the phrase, "the miracle of childbirth?" Childbirth is a wonderful and incredible event, but it happens within the laws of science and nature. It is not technically a miracle. Have you ever left the house a few minutes late only to see a serious accident on the highway? Have you ever thought that it was a miracle that you avoided the accident?
I have no doubt that God is involved in our lives providentially (non-miraculous involvement), but we cannot call something a miracle unless it has defied the laws of science and nature. The world is filled with astonishing and extraordinary occurrences, but to call them miracles is to cheapen the whole concept of the miracles of Jesus.
God is powerful, and the miracles of Jesus display the power of God. God wrote the laws of nature, and God can, at any time, manipulate the laws of nature or even suspend them altogether.
In John 1, we read about a man named Nathanael walking in the direction of Jesus.
Jesus would do many great miracles that would evoke a reaction much like Nathanael's.
Jesus healed a man who was paralyzed. The people "were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, 'We have seen strange things today!'" (Luke 5.26).
Jesus calmed the winds and the sea. The people "were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, 'Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!'" (Luke 8.25).
A wonder is a miraculous event that evokes a reaction of wonderment.
Signs refer to the reason behind the miracles of Jesus. These miracles were not done just for show. They had a reason behind them. What was the significance? What did these supernatural events (miracles), which causes such amazement (wonders) mean?
A traffic signal will indicate something. It will indicate whether you should stop, go, or slow down. These miracles indicated something.
In Matthew 16.1-4, there was a conversation that took place between Jesus and members of two religions factions, the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Jesus had been claiming to be the Christ, the Son of God. He had been performing a variety of miracles indicating that He was exactly who He claimed to be. Now these Pharisees and Sadducees come along and ask to see another sign from heaven.
In Mark's account found in Mark 8, it says that Jesus was so wearied by their request that "He sighed deeply in His spirit" (Mark 8.12). Jesus performed miracle after miracle proving Himself to be the Son of God. What do these Pharisees and Sadducees do? They ask for another sign.
These Pharisees and Sadducees could predict the weather. The rays of the sun would mix with the atmosphere of the sky making it red. They can look at the sky and tell what kind of weather is coming.
Here is the point that Jesus makes. They had the ability to look at the sky. The weather pattern that they would observe would be a sign, an indication of what kind of weather was coming. In the same way, they should be able to see the miracles that Jesus performed, and know that they indicated the identity of Jesus.
A miracle indicates the source as being supernatural. A wonder indicates the emotional reaction to the supernatural. A sign indicates the intellectual reaction to the supernatural as one tries to understand the meaning behind the miracle.
Miracle: "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Holy Spirit gave them utterance" (Acts 2.4).
The miracles of Jesus were wonders which indicated something. But what did these miracles indicate?
God has never expected us to just accept the facts without proof. He has always provided evidence so that we not only believe, but we have reason to know that what we believe is true.
Miracles always had a single, primary purpose. The miracles of Jesus were designed to verify and prove that what was being said was true.
Many of the Jews did not believe that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God. During an intense conversation between the Jesus and the Jews, they asked Him, "How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly" (John 10.24). Notice how Jesus answered them.
If you do not believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, then the miracles are there to confirm that He is exactly who He claimed to be.
He healed all kinds of diseases, exercised power over the natural elements of the world, and even raised the dead. Consider just a handful of examples.
All of these miracles were supernatural events which were wondrous visible displays of power indicating as a sign that Jesus was and is the Son of God.
Miracles are incredible, visible displays of the power of God, but miracles were not performed for altruistic reasons. They were not done as a display of God's compassion and mercy. They were done with a specific purpose on mind -- to make the message believable. The miracles of Jesus prove that Jesus is the Son of God giving us confidence in our faith in Him.

My Digital Life, is an quick infographic by me! A mindmap or network map of the digital products in my life, and how they all interconnect. Each connection is color-coded by the connection type (USB, wireless, ethernet, etc.) including its respective standard icon.
High-res version is on Flickr.
This started as a simple sketch to help me determine how to add a new external hard drive I got on Black Friday, but it quickly became much more fun to see how far out I could push the network. I already know of some more that I want to add, so someday there may be a 2.0 version. Apparently, I could use an IT manager at home.
I did ignore some differences within the connection types to keep this fairly simple. I don't distinguish between USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 connections. I use "Display" as a connection type, but its a DVI connection for the MacBook, a HDMI connection from the AppleTV and a composite connection from the DVD player. I also show only one "Wireless" connection, but I know that the iPhone only uses 802.11g and the laptop uses 802.11n.
I did this using OmniGraffle, with a little help from Pixelmator and Keynote to clean up the images.

Stylepark meets Eugenio Perazza, founder of Magis.
At Magis, Italian hospitality is a matter of the heart. Thomas Wagner spoke to Eugenio Perazza, Magis' founder, about new ideas and the corporate culture he promulgates.
Thomas Wagner: When I think of Magis, I instantly think of an intensive form of collaboration and hospitality. You bring people together in a special way with your furniture. What does this mean for you?
Eugenio Perazza: First, you have to communicate your ideas clearly and precisely, and of course honestly. Today Magis functions as well as it did 40 years ago. That is a long time. In this regard we can no doubt say that the company enjoys a very good reputation on an international scale. The aspect of hospitality was indeed always very important to me. We build up friendly relations with our customers. Our customers, and consequently the international community, mean a lot to me. I don't talk of a partnership; a partnership is in a way very formal. Hospitality and friendship in contrast are simple and clear – you work together and are nice to one another. That applies to designers and manufacturers and also to everyone else involved.
Does the open and friendly approach you so carefully nurture also find its way into the choice of materials and artisanal traditions? For example, when you develop cast-iron tables and chairs with the Bouroullecs or team up with Konstantin Grcic to devise a collection made of cast parts.
Eugenio Perazza: This tradition, the idea of hospitality, was realized for the new cast-iron collection developed by Konstantin Grcic, for example. The task was challenging, because we had to find a new contemporary formal language starting with an old established technique. Magis likes to design things that are very Italian. We seek to transport good old Italian tradition as well as the artisanal traditions of the region into the present and the future.
How important is it to you to develop special products and cultivate strong personal relationships?
Eugenio Perazza: Both are very important if you want to establish a good relationship with customers, suppliers, journalists and the national and international Magis community. Amicability and friendly exchange are always important. This form of hospitality characterizes Magis – and that from the very beginning, since Magis was established in 1976.
And you are still busy thinking far into the future?
Eugenio Perazza: In its 40 years in the business, I believe Magis has written some of the finest chapters in the history of design. That's good, but it's the past. I'm more interested in ascertaining whether the future belongs to us. And so, as I look around the company, at the quality of the design projects it's currently working on and in view of the sales seasons of upcoming years and other non-design company projects in the pipeline, I say that the future does indeed belong to Magis. I am always looking to the future. For me, the past is over. Currently, for example, we are exploring a new technology for new projects, because Magis always aims to be unique and universal.
And how do you find out what is typically Magis, unique and yet still universal?
Eugenio Perazza: Magis has in recent years adjusted its approach to the future development of design, aiming at results that ultimately express typically Italian flavors and perfumes. It is reworking certain ideas. First and foremost the idea of artisanal work; it wants to go beyond pure form to achieve an "aesthetics of meaning", a meaning that is genuinely Italian. Because we're convinced that in certain spheres (woodworking, leatherworking, glassblowing, etc.) the Italian artisan knows how to apply the "well made" lesson far better than the artisanship of other countries. I have been working in design for 40 years now and I believe that when developing a design project the idea is the only thing that counts, otherwise design remains purely a stylistic exercise. That means that the idea needs to be found and developed, otherwise it isn't design in the real sense.
Where do such unmistakable ideas come from?
Eugenio Perazza: They arise from my thinking and my discussions with others who are involved. We put our heads together every day. Every conversation produces a small starting point for a new idea, and a week later this idea may have already taken on a form that is worth pursuing further.
So it starts with dialog?
Eugenio Perazza: We have an expression in Italian: "stazione obliqua". It refers to something that works well in a certain context and can be transferred to another context to produce something new and useful.
How can you know what will be successful in the future? After all, no-one knows what it holds in store.
Eugenio Perazza: It's not very hard. For me, quality is the future. Things must be high quality, not a hodgepodge of numerous things. Our aim is to drastically reduce the number of things and focus on the future.
You firmly believe that quality will have a successful future in a society of mass media and mass production?
Eugenio Perazza: Yes, for me the future of Magis lies in what I call smart living and smart working. We need to shift the focus from product to ambience in order to be able to thus ring in the Magis era. That is the future.
Could one say that everything you have developed and produced in the past decades, from the plate racks and household utensils to the tables, chairs and sofas of the current collection, gives rise in its entirety to a certain ambience?
Eugenio Perazza: Absolutely. For example, we are developing a new line with Konstantin Grcic in order to be able to offer an overall solution for the home environment as well as commercial properties. But we need three years in total from idea to market launch.
When will Magis design entire houses?
Eugenio Perazza: No, we certainly won't be doing that.
So you're content to stick with furniture and objects and appliances for households?
Eugenio Perazza: Above all furniture.

UN Women and the Japanese Government launched project on Gender-Responsive COVID-19 Prevention and Response

Ha Noi, 02 August 2022 – Today, the Embassy of Japan and UN Women Viet Nam announced a one-year project to reduce the risks and negative impacts of COVID-19 on women and girls.
The project aims to support about 5,000 poor and vulnerable women in 9 provinces and cities including Ha Noi, Da Nang, Dien Bien, Ha Tinh, Ho Chi Minh City, Tien Giang, Nghe An, Thai Binh and Lao Cai. The priority target are migrant workers, ethnic minorities, people working in the informal sector and those living in disaster-prone areas. Apart from receiving the COVD-19 prevention kits, which include test kits, medical masks and antibacteria gel; the beneficiaries will also be equipped with the necessary skills to prevent and respond to COVID-19, disasters, gender-based violence and information about the available support services. Women survivors of gender-based violence at shelters and the Peace House will be supported in COVID-19 medical examinations and treatment.
The project is a part of a nearly 20-billion-VND regional project implemented in 4 Me-Kong countries such as Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Viet Nam by UN Women Asia-Pacific, with the financial support from the Japanese Government.
With the Japanese Government's priority concern for people living in the Mejong sub-region in Viet Nam, interventions are also designed to improve the quality of gender-responsive services and the capacity of staff working at Migrant Resource Centres, Viet Nam Women's Union at all levels, social organizations in the nince provinces mentioned above.

"Emerging evidence over the past year confirmed that the pandemic had a regressive effect on gender equality. In addition, Asia and the Pacific is the most disaster-prone region in the world, with 75 per cent of disaster-affected populations living in the region. As countries cope with impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, they also grapple with the reality of exposure to multiple, severe natural hazards, and potential of a double disaster.", said Ms. Elisa Fernandez Saenz, Country Representative of UN Women Viet Nam. "Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, in Viet Nam many women have suffered from loss of employment, reduced household income, inadequate housing, lack of life-saving support and services, limited social protection measures, as well as increased stress at home, along with unacceptable high levels of intimate partner violence."
Due to COVID-19, women's labor force participation rate fell 8 points between 2019 and 2021, from 70.9% to 62.3%. COVID-19 contributed to a reduction in working hours for women, and the loss of jobs across manufacturing and services. A rapid assessment conducted by UNICEF, UNFPA and UN Women with the support of DFAT in 2021 found that women and children in particular were at greater risk during the period of social isolation. The study found that in Viet Nam more than one in three women experienced at least one form of violence during the pandemic period, with more women reporting experiencing controlling behaviors and economic violence.

"We are very pleased that UN Women will take the lead in implementing Gender-responsive COVID-19 response and prevention project. We hope that this project presents an opportunity for restructuring and creating a 'new normal' in which no one is left behind.", said Mr. Sasaki Shohei, Second Secretary of the Embassy of Japan in Viet Nam.
As the representative of the project's local partners, Ms. Hoang Thi Thu Huong, Chairwoman of the Da Nang Women's Union said: "The Danang Women's Union representing 9 provinces participating in the project highly appreciates UN Women's timely support in COVID-19 gender-responsive responses. Equipping women, especially the most disadvantaged and vulnerable groups with COVID-19 prevention information and supplies, is essential, especially when the pandemic is still ongoing but many people might have let their guard down."
