Brexit and the democratisation of knowledge
Alison Fox31 May 2018
Today's guest post is by Benjamin Martill and Uta Staiger, editors of Brexit and Beyond: Rethinking the Futures of Europe, and is part of a special series to celebrate UCL Press reaching one million downloads.
We started working on Brexit and Beyond in early 2017 when we realised there was a distinct gap in the market when it came to easily accessible yet scholarly works on Brexit. Full-length academic articles were often too lengthy and discipline-specific to appeal to the average reader. In any case, they take a rather long time to reach the market, such that by then the real world often has moved on. Nowhere more so than with Brexit! By contrast, the readily availabile opinion pieces and op-eds through which much of the 'here and now' of the Brexit debate took place lacked the rigour of academic works.
So we resolved to create a volume of short, accessible pieces on Brexit which would appeal to a general audience, while being informed by their authors' long-standing scholarship. UCL Press embraced the idea with enthusiasm.
We also wanted to work with UCL Press because of the benefits of the open access model. Given the acrimony surrounding Britain's changing relationship to Europe, we felt it was particularly important to bring rigorous discussion of the topic out of the academic ivory tower. To freely provide a volume with some of the biggest names in their field to students and interested citizens alike was, we believed, the easiest – and most direct – way to achieve this. The Brexit vote highlighted a yawning gap between academic debates and the concerns of many British citizens. Meanwhile, the social media 'echo chambers' have contributed to divided conversations and the polarisation of viewpoints. Breaking through these divisions and starting a shared conversation on the future of Europe was our aim with this volume.
UCL Press supported our book every step of the way. We had frequent meetings to discuss content, production and marketing, benefitting from the input of all the team members. The book itself came out in January and has been downloaded over 10,000 times in the past three months. What has been most heartening, though, is how pleased readers themselves have been about receiving their 'free book'. One individual who approached us at our launch event in Brussels couldn't believe – his words – that such a high quality product would be available for anyone to download. And, more pleasing still, he had sent copies to his friends and family. The hope is that, as more and more people engage with our contributors' arguments, a greater number of citizens – of the UK and the EU – are brought into the detailed discussions we should be having after the referendum. Only in this way can we attempt to further the democratisation of knowledge. For facilitating these conversations – more and more every day – we are very grateful to the team at UCL Press.

Global Encyclopaedia of Informality Book Launch Event
Alison Fox20 March 2018
Join UCL Press and the FRINGE Centre for the launch of the two-volume Global Encyclopaedia of Informality, which marks the first publication in the FRINGE Series.

Alena Ledeneva invites you on a voyage of discovery, to explore society's open secrets, unwritten rules and know-how practices. Broadly defined as 'ways of getting things done', these invisible yet powerful informal practices tend to escape articulation in official discourse. They include emotion-driven exchanges of gifts or favours and tributes for services, interest-driven know-how (from informal welfare to informal employment and entrepreneurship), identity-driven practices of solidarity, and power-driven forms of co-optation and control. The paradox, or not, of the invisibility of these informal practices is their ubiquity. Expertly practised by insiders but often hidden from outsiders, informal practices are, as this book shows, deeply rooted all over the world, yet underestimated in policy. Entries from the five continents presented in this volume are samples of the truly global and ever-growing collection, made possible by a remarkable collaboration of over 200 scholars across disciplines and area studies.
An open access edition of both volumes of the book is available to download free from UCL Press, in addition hardback and paperback editions.

Book Launch Event: Brexit and Beyond
Alison Fox10 January 2018
Date: Mon 29th January 2018
Location: G29 JZ Young Lecture Theatre, Anatomy Building, Gower Street, London, WC1E 6BT
Join us for the launch of a new book with contributions from 28 leading experts on Brexit and the future of Europe, edited by Uta Staiger and Benjamin Martill.
Brexit will have significant consequences for the country, for Europe, and for global order. And yet much discussion of Brexit in the UK has focused on the causes of the vote and on its consequences for the future of British politics. This volume examines the consequences of Brexit for the future of Europe and the European Union, adopting an explicitly regional and future-oriented perspective missing from many existing analyses.
Drawing on the expertise of 28 leading scholars from a range of disciplines, 'Brexit and Beyond' (UCL Press) offers various different perspectives on the future of Europe, charting the likely effects of Brexit across a range of areas, including institutional relations, political economy, law and justice, foreign affairs, democratic governance, and the idea of Europe itself. Whilst the contributors offer divergent predictions for the future of Europe after Brexit, they share the same conviction that careful scholarly analysis is in need – now more than ever – if we are understand what lies ahead for the EU.
Helen Drake, Professor of French and European Studies, Loughborough
Piet Eeckhout, Dean of the Faculty of Laws and Professor of EU Law, UCL
Simon Hix, Harold Laski Professor of Political Science, LSE
Kalypso Nicolaïdis, Professor of International Relations, University of Oxford
The panel discussion will be followed by a drinks reception.
Dr Uta Staiger is the co-founder and Executive Director of the UCL European Institute. Her research examines the relationship between culture and politics, drawing together insights from modern European thought, the arts, and the history of European integration. She is particularly interested in mid-twentieth-century German theory and philosophy that seeks to straddle aesthetics and the idea of the political. Uta also holds the position of Pro-Vice-Provost (Europe), a strategic role shaping UCL's engagement with Europe, and acting as advocate for UCL's work on the continent.
Dr Benjamin Martill is a Dahrendorf Fellow in Europe after Brexit at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His research looks at how political ideology and party politics affect foreign policymaking, with particular reference to the politics of Cold War strategy in Europe. At LSE, Benjamin contributes to the work of the Dahrendorf Forum, a joint research venture between LSE Ideas and the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin. He was previously Lecturer in Politics at Canterbury Christ Church University and Research Associate at the UCL European Institute.

Call for Papers: Europe and the World – A Law Review
ucylcas26 July 2017
The editors of Europe and the World – A Law Review are delighted to announce the launch of their journal and invite papers for publication.
Europe and the World – A Law Review aims to contribute to legal scholarship on the place of Europe in the world, with a particular but by no means exclusive focus on EU external relations law. As a peer-reviewed open-access journal by a renowned university publisher it makes highest-quality work promptly available to a global audience. Open-access makes individual contributions and legal scholarship more visible, accessible, and accountable.
The journal serves as a forum where the national, international and EU perspectives meet and engage. The journal is therefore irreverent of traditional distinctions between EU, international, and national law. While primarily offering legal doctrinal and theoretical analyses, the journal also publishes multi-disciplinary work and political science and international relations contributions with an external perspective on the law of EU's external relations.
The journal publishes article-length papers and shorter pieces offering an analysis of topical issues or recent cases, as well as review articles and special issues. The journal welcomes the submission of highest-quality papers in the following formats:
'Articles' (8-12,000 words),
'European Law and Practice': case notes, current legal developments (5-8,000 words),
'Book reviews/review articles' (once a year)
Papers published in the journal will be freely available online via UCL Press- issue one is now available.
Please submit your paper with an abstract of about 250 words and 5 keywords (for details please see the journal's Author Guidelines) by email to europeandtheworld@ucl.ac.uk. We are aiming for a quick revision process, which should not usually exceed 10 weeks.
For all queries concerning the submission of papers please contact the Editors-in-chief at: europeandtheworld@ucl.ac.uk.
Submitted papers should adhere to the format requirements of Europe and the World: A Law Review. Before your submission please visit the author guidelines for the journal.

OPERAS – Open Access in the Scholarly Research Area through Scholarly Communication
ucyllsp18 July 2017
In June, I took part in the first meeting of all the members of a European consortium developing pan-European infrastructure and services for open access in the social sciences and humanities, led by the French organisation Open Edition. Partners from 22 organisations in 10 countries (Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and the UK) gathered to discuss the progress of the project to date and next steps in development. UCL Press joined in March 2017 as one of eight core members of the consortium.
OPERAS already has two projects underway that have received significant funding from Horizon 2020. The first of these is OPERAS-D, a design study to address the long-term requirements for governance models, structures and scientific and technical concepts for future services that the infrastructure will provide. The second is HIRMEOS (High Integration of Research Monographs in the European Open Science Infrastructure), which focuses on the monograph as a significant mode of scholarly communication, and tackles the main obstacles preventing the full integration of publishing platforms supporting open access monographs. It will do this by improving five existing open access books platforms, enhancing their technical capacities and services, ensuring their interoperability and embedding them fully into the European Open Science Cloud.
OPERAS' final goal is to clarify the landscape of Open Access book for libraries and funders through a certification service (DOAB – Directory of Open Access Books); to improve the accessibility and dissemination of research outputs in SSH through a single discovery service; and to increase the impact of multidisciplinary research on societal challenges through a single 'research for society' service. It will also provide communication and advocacy, training, R&D, development of business models, standardization of technologies, and adoption of best practices for open access.
OPERAS is now planning its next stages of development – its governance, business model, legal status, and operational development over the coming years, and UCL Press is looking forward to being more involved in the next stages. At the meeting its new work packages were launched, and UCL Press will be involved in the Business Models and Communications work packages. This highly ambitious project aims to address many of the challenges that currently hamper open access from becoming the standard practice for scholarly communication. By pooling resources and expertise from across Europe, OPERAS is developing a significant step forward on the path towards open access for all.

OPERAS survey on usage of open scholarly communication in Europe
Alison Fox9 May 2017
The OPERAS consortium is launching a survey on the usage of open scholarly communication in Europe, in particular in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). The purpose of the survey is to identify current practices and services that should be developed or invented. It will serve as a basis for defining the future infrastructure of OPERAS.
The survey is aimed at 5 different audiences, all of whom are impacted by open access: publishers, researchers, libraries, funders and the general public. It will primarily collect information and suggestions about common standards, good practices, new features and new integrated services.
Your participation would be welcomed- the links below are open until the 31 May 2017.

18 destinations where a 5-star stay costs less than $200 per night
Posted: 21 April 2017 11:31 am
Picture: J7 Hotel in Siem Reap ($198 per night)
Yes, you can afford to splurge.
Booking engine hotels.com released its Hotel Pricing Index Report 2016, revealing the top destinations where Australians indulged the cheapest five-star stays last year.
In total, there were 18 cities where the average five-star stay booked was less than $200 per night. Many of Australia's Southeast Asian neighbours including Siem Reap, Manila and Hanoi, made the list, but surprisingly there were quite a few Australian entrants, including Canberra, Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.
Not surprisingly, Sydney didn't come up as a bargain luxury destination with the average price paid per night coming in at $257. If you want to keep costs down when visiting Australia's largest city, dropping down to four-stars will see you pay an average $182 per night instead. Food for thought.
The lowest five-star accommodation overall was in Siem Reap in Cambodia, with Aussies paying an average $140 per night. This was followed by nearby cities Kuala Lumpur and Pattaya.
Istanbul came in at fourth cheapest, given significant decreases (-30%) in hotel prices. Hotels.com attributes this to the terrorist attacks of 2016.
TripAdvisor's latest Hotel Pricing Index, revealed countries with the greatest falls in hotel prices since the previous year. Similarly, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand were selected as bargain stays.
Here's the full list of five-star stays under $200 from hotels.com
Siem Reap Cambodia $140
Kuala Lumpur Malaysia $143
Pattaya Thailand $163
Istanbul Turkey $170
Rotorua New Zealand $170
Brisbane Australia $173
Manila Philippines $174
Christchurch New Zealand $176
Adelaide Australia $179
Bangkok Thailand $180
Penang Thailand $186
Hanoi Vietnam $192
Canberra Australia $192
Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam $194
Cairns Australia $197
Berlin Germany $197
Perth Australia $198
Phnom Penh Cambodia $198
Conversely, some of the most expensive five-star stays Aussies enjoyed in last year were in the USA with the average price paid for accommodation in Anaheim last year a whopping $870 per night. That's enough to spend almost a week in Siem Reap.
This was closely followed by Mykonos ($622 per night) and Cancun ($598 per night).
Want to pay under that $200 mark?
The secret is in dropping your star rating - even just a smidgen can save you big bucks. Here's a snapshot of how much you could save per night if you do.
5-star average
Anaheim $870 $262 $233 $139
Mykonos $622 $391 $269 $210
Cancun $598 $284 $100 $49
Sydney $257 $182 $118 $85
Melbourne $209 $152 $110 $58
Prague $203 $146 $99 $44

Let's say it's time to make a new native app for your business. Do you go with iOS or do you go with Android? There are a great number of factors that go into such a decision, far too many to list in a single article, but one of the most important factors to consider is the issue of security. This is true for everyone, but especially true of apps which feature the use of sensitive personal and financial information – even as small as user location can be used maliciously in the wrong hands.
So which side is better when it comes to mobile security?
The openness and decentralized nature of Android puts you at a higher baseline risk of security breaches right out of the gate.
iOS has a closed ecosystem with tight control over what you can do with your device, which guarantees greater security no matter how much of a hassle such a system can be. With iOS, system updates are passed directly from the manufacturer, which is also the operating system developer, to the device. Apps can only be downloaded from the App Store, which is under tight lock and key.
Unlike Apple and iOS, Google is not directly involved in the manufacture of devices that run the Android OS. This means it takes longer for Google to get security updates to its customers, since it's up to the manufacturers to get them to customers. Google itself admitted that a ways to go in order to make sure this is happening on a consistent and timely basis. For the most part this doesn't result in major security issues but nevertheless the possibility of error is much greater than zero.
The deliberate circumvention of your own security protections, "jailbreaking", became popular in the early days of the iPhone as a way for people to get the iPhone to work on their carrier of choice, circumventing carriers that had exclusive access to the device. These days it's mostly done to let users run apps from outside the app store. When detected, Apple will attempt to override the jailbreak to restore the phone's original settings.
Android has an equivalent of this practice, called "rooting". Rooting voids the warranty on all phones on which it is done, and neither Google nor any device manufacturer will make automated attempts to reverse the circumvention of security.
Jailbreaking/rooting makes your phone more vulnerable in either case, but it is much more easy to do on Android than on iOS.
The iPhone certainly has an edge over Android in terms of ecosystem security, one Google does do better in keeping its users safe from suspicious activity through something called "Safety Net.", a system that operates in the background and continuously scans for suspicious activity. It also prevents certain apps, like Android Pay, from working on rooted devices, helping prevent avoid security risks rather than trying to lower them. Apple, as of this writing, doesn't have such a system in place.
Overall, Apple's closed ecosystem provides much more security up-front although this can cause security fixes to be slower to come to market due to its centralized nature. If you're looking for more absolute guarantees about security then iOS is definitely the way to go, although in the end the two approaches lead to comparable numbers of security vulnerabilities. The decision of which one to go for is ultimately up to you.

Q: How to rotate to landscape only one view controller I have used the following approach to make it feasible, but didn't work
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let value = UIInterfaceOrientation.landscapeLeft.rawValue
    UIDevice.current.setValue(value, forKey: "orientation")
}

override var supportedInterfaceOrientations: UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    return .landscapeLeft
}

override var shouldAutorotate: Bool {
    return true
}

A: If you want to force Particular viewController rotate to landscape only then add the following code in AppDelega file
public var orientationLock = UIInterfaceOrientationMask.all

    static var shared : AppDelegate {
        return UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate
    }

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
        return self.orientationLock
    }

    func lockDeviceOrientation(orientationLock: UIInterfaceOrientationMask, rotateOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientation) {
        AppDelegate.shared.orientationLock = orientationLock
        UIDevice.current.setValue(rotateOrientation.rawValue, forKey: "orientation")
    }

And add the following code in particular viewController which you want to force to rotate in landscape only
 override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)
        AppDelegate.shared.orientationLock = .landscapeLeft
    }

A: In your AppDelegate.swift :
func application(_ application: UIApplication, supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    if let navigationController = self.window?.rootViewController as? UINavigationController {
        if navigationController.visibleViewController is YourViewController {
            return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.all
        } else {
            return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portrait
        }
    }
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portrait
}

A capacity crowd at the Leonora Sports Facility witnessed two-time defending champs Slingerz FC seal their third consecutive Stag Beer West Demerara Knockout Cup, dismantling Ann's Grove 5-0 last night.
With Ann's Grove failing to muster any attacking pattern, the score line would balloon to 4-0 as Millington completed his hat-trick, calmly slotting his effort into the centre of the goal after latching onto a botched defensive clearance within the centre of the box.
Further turmoil would then befall the visitors as custodian Travis Alleyne was issued a red card in the 80th minute for striking an opposing player, resulting in boos from the crowd as he made his exit to the dressing room.
Following a lacklustre opening period with only highlight being the 37th minute sending off of Omallo Williams for his second bookable offence, Jeremy Garrett would open the scoring in the 53rd minute through a sublime freekick.
Awarded the spot-kick in the centre of the field 30 yards from goal, Garrett would unleash a powerful right footed effort that sailed over the defensive wall and tipped under the crossbar into the roof of the net.
Delon Williams would then complete the win in similar fashion four minutes onward, curling a 24 yard left sided freekick with his favoured right foot into the left hand corner, after spotting the keeper positioned on the right side of the goal.
Due to the win, Fruta Conquerors received the third place trophy, medals and $150,000. Pele for their effort, collected the fourth place trophy and $100,000.

Leyton Orient suffer another defeat after struggling to create chances at Tranmere Rovers
Published: 9:45 PM October 4, 2017 Updated: 8:47 AM October 14, 2020

National League: Tranmere Rovers 2 Leyton Orient 1
Leyton Orient fell to another disappointing defeat after losing 2-1 at Tranmere Rovers in the National League this evening.
Matt Harrold put the O's ahead, but Steve Davis' team could only hold onto their lead for four minutes at a rain-soaked Prenton Park.
In the end, Rovers deserved the victory and the result increases the building pressure on the Orient head coach, who hasn't won for over a month now.
Even with all the problems at the club in recent times and under the previous ownership, the east Londoners were expected to do a lot better than they are at present and it is safe to say the honeymoon is well and truly over.
The BT Sport cameras were present at Prenton Park for the clash between two clubs recently in the Football League.
Davis made one change to the side which lost 2-1 at home to AFC Fylde on Saturday, as Harrold came in for his second start since joining from Crawley Town.
David Mooney, meanwhile, dropped to the bench after only just returning from a shoulder issue at the weekend.
Orient went into the contest in a poor run of form, which had seen them lose four of their last five games.
Tranmere were also struggling prior to Saturday's 1-0 win at Bromley, which was a timely boost for boss Micky Mellon.
It was Rovers who created the first opening of the match after two minutes, as Ben Tollitt cut inside Jake Caprice and won a free kick just outside the area.
James Dayton was harshly adjudged to have made the foul, although he didn't appear to actually touch the Rovers winger.
Adam Buxton took the free kick and saw his effort deflect behind for a corner, but O's settled afterwards.
Orient were passing the ball around with confidence at a slick and wet Prenton Park, yet the hosts were looking a threat when they were in possession.
Tollitt was making his presence felt and he was involved in a move, which eventually saw James Norwood go down inside the area after tangling with Mark Ellis.
Referee Adam Bromley waved away the home appeals and the visitors breathed a big sigh of relief with 12 minutes played.
Tranmere were growing in confidence and Tollitt tested the palms of O's custodian Charlie Grainger five minutes later.
Orient's number one was called into action again in the 21st minute and it proved a crucial moment.
A Norwood cross found Andy Cook at the back post and his effort hit James Brophy's hand and looked to be heading in, but Grainger got down low to parry his shot away from goal.
Then less than 60 seconds later, O's punished that wasted opportunity by the hosts, as they took the lead.
Orient countered quickly and Jobi McAnuff saw a shot blocked before the ball rolled to Dayton and his centre was swept home by Harrold for his second goal for the club.
With 22 minutes played, Davis' team had the lead and now it was crucial they held onto that advantage.
Unfortunately, it took Tranmere just four minutes to get back on level terms when O's back four was slicked open.
Jeff Hughes played in Norwood and though Grainger managed to deny the Rovers attacker, Cook was on hand to tap into the empty net and level the scores.
It was harsh on Orient's young goalkeeper, but the visitors managed to regroup after conceding in the pouring rain.
Dayton went close on the half an hour mark when he turned away from his marker and curled just wide from 25-yards.
Three minutes later and O's went even closer, as McAnuff crossed in for Ellis and he nodded an effort against the outside of the post.
Mellon's team were handed another blow in 41st minute when the dangerous Tollitt picked up an injury and was forced off with Dylan Mottley-Henry replacing him.
Two minutes of additional time were added on at the end of the first 45, but they went by without note and Orient came in level with Tranmere at the break.
The second period started slowly with both sides taking their time to adjust to the increasingly wet conditions at Prenton Park.
Ollie Norburn had the first chance after the restart, but he drilled a low free kick into Grainger's side netting with 53 played.
It was the only real chance of note during the opening 15 minutes of the second half with McAnuff wasting a decent opportunity from a central free kick when he hit the wall in the 59th minute.
Grainger was then called into action three times in quick succession just past the hour mark and he answered every question.
First of all he pushed a Norburn curler past the post and then brilliantly tipped a Cook header over the crossbar.
Orient's young goalkeeper was involved again from the resulting corner, but the away side were awarded a free kick anyway.
Davis was dealt another blow moments later when Jake Caprice pulled up with an injury and had to be replaced.
Jamie Sendles-White came on and slotted into the centre of midfield with captain Alex Lawless dropping to right-back.
Despite the enforced change, Orient were still looking solid, though lacking some required movement up front.
But O's were hit with some bad luck in the 71st minute and Tranmere took full advantage to take the lead.
Mottley-Henry fortunately wriggled away from Brophy on the right and his cross took a big deflection and came for Norwood, who headed into the empty net from close range.
Orient, to their credit, responded well after going behind with their left-back winning a corner, which Sendles-White headed wide at the back post with 76 played.
Dayton then won a free kick on the right and although McAnuff's delivery was good, no O's player could make the most of it.
Boss Davis made a double substitution moments later with Mooney and Rommy Boco coming on for Harrold and Dayton.
The first contribution from O's club captain was to pick up a yellow card after going down easily inside the area.
Orient were enjoying plenty of possession as the game entered the final exchanges, but Tranmere were still looking a threat.
They really should have made it 3-1 in the 82nd minute when Buxton picked out Connor Jennings in the area, but he headed wide when unmarked.
It was an excellent opportunity for the hosts and O's were hoping it would be a key missed chance.
Orient, despite plenty of possession, were struggling to create openings and it was Rovers who went closes next, but Dan Happe blocked Cook's effort with three minutes to go.
Five minutes of additional time were added on at the end of the 90, but O's were still looking short of confidence and ideas.
And in spite of so much possession, it finished 2-1 to Tranmere and Orient's problems only increased.
The O's remain 16th in the table and are now five points off the play-off positions and nine off the leaders Macclesfield Town.
Davis' side are six games without a win and will be desperate to halt that on Saturday away to Barrow.
Leyton Orient: Grainger; Caprice (Sendles-White 65), Ellis, Happe, Brophy; Dayton (Boco 79), Lawless, Clay, McAnuff; Harrold (Mooney 78), Bonne.
Unused substitutes: Sargeant, Dalby.
Attendance: 4,145 (157 Leyton Orient supporters).

By Divya Cutinho
MANGALURU: This 40-year-old woman has been lauded for her bravery after she rescued a stray dog which had fallen into a 30-ft deep old well in Mangaluru. Rajani Damodar Shetty, a homemaker who hails from Mumbai, has been living in Doddahitlu in Mangaluru for the past 24 years, since her marriage. An ardent animal lover, what Rajani did on January 30 can be easily labelled 'astonishing'.
When a group of men at Ballalbagh in city tried for hours and failed to rescue a dog fallen into the well, Rajani was called to the spot. "I have rescued stray animals and have been feeding them.
But I have never taken such a huge risk in my life. However, on seeing the dog trapped in the well in 12 feet of water, I could not stop myself. I tied a rope to myself, entered the well and rescued the dog," says Rajani, who does not know swimming.
She has been taking care of over 14 stray dogs in her home. She also feeds over 150 stray dogs daily and treats animals which meet with accidents, along with her family members. Ever since the video of Rajani's dog rescue mission went viral, she says her phone has been flooded with calls.

It would be nice if we could all just trust anyone who offered to perform electrical work that they would..
Unfortunately, the world just isn't like that. Engaging a contractor to work on your home or commercial building is going to happen at some point… so how to you know if you've got a good one, or a dud? The best thing you can do is ask them the following questions and if they can't give you a good answer… it's time to call the next guy.
Do you have a license, and if so, what number is it?
Your electrician must be licensed, and you will be able to search his license number online to check its legitimacy.
There are lots of different types of electrical work, and most electricians specialise in one or two areas, although they do have a lot of general knowledge. If you require specialisation for your job, you need to make sure you've got the right person with the right experience to do a good job.
If you can't see testimonials online or on their website, then they should at least be able to email you some testimonials of references. If they can't… you might want to look elsewhere.
Your electrician should have enough confidence in their work to offer you some kind of guarantee or warranty. If they shy away from this question, then you should question the quality of their work.
What does your estimate include and what extra costs could there be?
Some items may not be accounted for in their estimate. You should be made aware of possible costs if things go wrong or take an unexpected turn.
If you need a local electrician, give our professional team a call on 1300 726 792. We're happy to help!

The Glenlivet releases new expression
The Glenlivet 14 Year Old is single-malt whisky finished in ex-cognac casks
KEYWORDS barrel aging / single malt / whiskey blends
The Glenlivet, a brand of New York-based Pernod Ricard USA, released its newest expression: The Glenlivet 14 Year Old. Featuring sweet and fruity aromas, the newest liquid is the first in The Glenlivet portfolio to introduce single-malt whisky selectively finished in high-quality ex-cognac casks to the U.S. market, it says.
The Glenlivet 14 Year Old sees The Glenlivet's style of citrus and floral notes and creamy smoothness complemented by the sumptuous influence of select ex-Cognac casks, which include moist raisins, chocolate and licorice, to deliver a deep and intense experience, it explains. The new liquid is the latest step in the distillery's quest to inspire and open up to a new generation of whisky drinkers through bold and unconventional flavor combinations and finishing techniques, it adds.
"With The Glenlivet 14 Year Old we've created something truly iconic that embodies our incredible legacy while putting a modern spin on single malt whisky that's been selectively finished in former Cognac casks," said Sona Bajaria, vice president of marketing for The Glenlivet with Pernod Ricard USA, in a statement. "The Glenlivet brand is built on a passion for extraordinary products and 14 Year Old was created with that in mind. We are confident consumers will love this new liquid as much as we do."
The Glenlivet 14 Year Old will exclusively be available in the United States beginning this month.
"We crafted The Glenlivet 14 Year Old with the curious single malt community in mind," said Alan Winchester, The Glenlivet Master Distiller, in a statement. "The beauty of the whisky lover is that their palate is always evolving, searching for the next flavor experience, and we're proud to add this delicious aged single malt, with portions selectively finished in ex-cognac casks, to our portfolio. The blend of rich Cognac-cask flavor influences and our signature fruity, smooth style are guaranteed to captivate single malt drinkers looking to explore.
"Having spent time with whisky drinkers in the U.S., you can see the passion for original single malt innovation growing, and we're confident The Glenlivet 14 Year Old will be a success with those looking to explore new flavor frontiers," Winchester continued.
To sync with the new color of The Glenlivet 14 Year Old's packaging, The Glenlivet has teamed up with the Purple Heart Foundation to give back to those who serve by encouraging consumers to join them in raising a glass to service members, the company says.
For every bottle of The Glenlivet 14-Year-Old sold to participating retailers from July 1 to Dec. 31, The Glenlivet will donate $1 to The Purple Heart Foundation, with a minimum guaranteed donation of $50,000, up to $100,000, it adds.
The Glenlivet 14 Year Old will be available for an MSRP of $55 for 750-ml bottle and is the first The Glenlivet expression to launch since the brand unveiled a fresh new look and campaign earlier this year.

Compare mountain biking to biking on the road, and for most road cyclist beginners or novices, their hearts may skip a beat or two if they aren't natural adrenaline junkies. It's hard to fathom how mountain bikers can navigate tree roots and rocks while flying down a decline or curve. The thought easily brings an ache despite the chamois pads in cycling shorts. Riding a bike gives you the sense of freedom to explore where you want while covering lots of ground. But maybe sometimes it gets a bit too monotonous riding on the road for hours. If you're curious to mix things up a bit and try your wheels in the realm of off-road riding, here are 5 tips to help you have an easier transition into the mountains and beyond.
1. Look ahead and towards where you want to go.
Your bike will go where you're looking, so don't stare at the obstacle that you don't want to hit. Look ahead at the line you want to take and your bike will go there.
When going downhill or over obstacles, stand up out of the saddle. This will give you more control and stability. Keep your arms and legs relaxed. As the terrain gets steeper or more obstacles appear, increase the bend in your arms and legs to increase stability.
Be familiar with which brakes are for your front and rear wheels respectively. Your front brake is more powerful and will slow your bike down more than the rear brake. If you simply don't want to go any faster, mostly use your rear brake. If slowing down is the priority, then use more of the front brake. Think of your brakes as dials that can be turned up and down, as opposed to on and off. This allows you to control the bike while slowing down in a controlled manner.
4. Move forward when climbing a steeper hill.
As the hill gets steeper, moving your weight forward on the saddle will help to keep both wheels on the ground and it'll be easier to control your bike.
Always leave home with a tool kit that will allow you to change a flat tire and tighten bolts on your bike should they become loose. Also, make sure you bring adequate food and water for the duration of your ride.
As a member of the Canadian National Mountain bike team, Amanda has represented Canada at many international events. In 2011 she won a bronze medal at the Pan American Games, and in 2012 qualified to the Olympic Selection Pool for the London Games. Amanda joined the team and has been working at Movéo since March, while still instructing and racing on her bike!


Gallarate: in the area near the city centre and the services, we offer a big apartment at high floor and located in a nice residential area. The property has a large living area with open kitchen and living room, surrounded by large balconies. The location on the top floor of the building lets a lot of natural light come in, with southern exposure. The sleeping area has been designed with a large master bedroom, a master bath and a toilet, as well as a big walk-in closet. The uniform floor in the two areas, consists of "cherlite" and it is equipped with led lights. The building was built in 2011 by a major construction company of the area near Gallarate City, which decided to give a futuristic shape to the whole building. The property also includes a double garage.

siedlerstraße oberursel
camp king was a former u.s. military base in oberursel (taunus). after eight years of construction, a residential area emerged on the 37 acre site.
in the late 1930s the so called "reichssiedlungshof" (reich settlement-court) was built on the northern part of the site. in 1938 some of the buildings were erected within the framework of the first german building and settlement exhibition in frankfurt and later rebuilt in oberursel. the 21 residential and commercial buildings served the university of frankfurt as "reichssiedlungsschule" (reich settlement-school).
after much discussion, the entire area was placed under monument protection. the buildings, most of them erected as half timbered houses, had to be partially demolished or refurbished at enormous expense. because of surface and ceiling heights, the buildings where generally not suitable for residential use. we designed 12 houses and annexes, six of them on a turnkey basis and sold by us, three realized as client projects. these nine are presented in this brochure.

From: Gary LaPook
Giving it even more thought, the scale around the star finder base is really a right ascension scale, or 360° minus S.H.A., so zero is always the Vernal Equinox, 90° is the Summer Solstice, 180° is the Autumnal Equinox and 270° is the Winter Solstice and this will always be the case on the 2102-D so the S.H.A. of the sun will not change as the years go by. But, due to the inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of the ecliptic, the sun's declination will change, making a slight change to the drawn-in ecliptic necessary for maximum accuracy. For instance, the sun's declination this year at the Winter Solstice will be 23° 26.3' south while at the same point in 1910, one hundred years ago, it's declination was 23° 27.1' south a difference of 0.8' so this could present a problem if you live long enough. ( I wouldn't lose too much sleep over this since the width of the pencil line marking the ecliptic is much broader than this.)
But the positions of the stars will change much more, making it necessary to buy a new 2102-D or to re-plot their positions. Taking three stars at random, Deneb, Enif and Polaris, for example, and comparing their positions at the Winter Solstice this year with their positions at the Winter Solstice in 1910, the S.H.A. of Deneb changed from 50° 24.6' to 49° 33.1' and it's declination changed from 44° 57.7' to 45° 19.4' north, a change of 42.3' in it's position. Enif moved from an S.H.A. of 35° 03.2 to 33° 49.0 and it's declination went from 9° 27.9' north to 9° 55.7' north a change of 1° 18.2'. For Polaris, the S.H.A. changed from 338° 08.9' to 318° 20.1 and it's declination went from 88° 50.1' north to 89° 19.0' north, a change of 34.3'. (Part of these changes are due to proper motion but most are due to the Precession of the Equinox.) So, if you can tolerate about one degree of accuracy then you will never have to replot the positions of the stars on your 2102-D but your grandchildren will have to do it on your star finder that you pass down to them.

The book published by David Burch (star-finder book) explains why the ecliptic have not drawn on the 2102-D but I can not find the page today (I'll read it again) but I guess it changes with the precession of equinox?
Yep, that's the problem and in only 13,000 years an ecliptic drawn on the 2102-D will be off by 180°. If you are worried about this then use a pencil and, to maintain one degree accuracy, simply erase the ecliptic and draw in a new one after 72 years. But wait, the whole star base will be off by one degree after 72 years since the plotted positions of the stars are based on the position of the equinox at the time that the 2102-D was manufactured so you will have to buy a new star finder in 2082 A.D. (or earlier, depending on how old your 2101-D is already.) In fact, giving it more thought, the ecliptic will remain in the correct place (so you won't have to redraw it) but you will have to replot all the stars.


A spinal headache is the name for a type of headache that follows a procedure like a spinal tap (lumbar puncture) or epidural block (such as that performed during labor and delivery).
What Causes a Spinal Headache?
During a spinal tap, a needle is placed within the fluid-filled space that surrounds your spinal cord. This creates a passage for the spinal fluid to leak out, which changes the fluid pressure around your brain and spinal cord. If enough of the fluid leaks out, you may get a spinal headache.
Because the design of spinal needles has improved, spinal headaches after you get a spinal tap or spinal anesthesia are rare. The odds are usually low after an epidural, too, unless the needle accidentally punctures the dura mater, a tough membrane that covers your spinal cord.
What Are the Symptoms of a Spinal Headache?
Without treatment, spinal headaches may go away on their own within 2 days to a couple of weeks.
Hydration: This can help raise cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) pressure. You might need to get fluids through your veins (the doctor will call this intravenous fluids, or IV for short).
Caffeine: The doctor might tell you to drink a beverage high in caffeine.
Bed rest: You may have to take it easy for 24-48 hours.
Medication: If other methods don't work, your doctor could try drugs like gabapentin, hydrocortisone, or theophylline.
Blood patch: If you get a spinal headache after a procedure, the anesthesiologist can create a patch with your blood to seal the leak. To put the blood patch in place, the anesthesiologist will put a needle into the same space as, or right next to, the area where the anesthetic was injected. Next, he'll take a small amount of your blood and inject it into the epidural space. The blood clots and seals the hole that caused the leak.

Sources du vent est un recueil de poèmes de Pierre Reverdy, publié en 1929.

Historique, contenu
Pierre Reverdy regroupe en 1929 les poèmes qu'il a publiés dans diverses revues, de 1919 à 1929. Il en élabore deux recueils : un recueil de poèmes en vers, Sources du vent, et un recueil de poèmes en prose, Flaques de verre.

Le recueil Sources du vent présente presque tous les thèmes de Reverdy. Il commence par le poème « Chemin tournant » dont le titre montre selon Bocholier un changement de cap par rapport à son œuvre antérieure, ce qui est confirmé par le titre d'un autre poème, « Marche sans direction », reflétant l'impression générale dégagée par ce recueil, marquant une rupture par rapport aux voyages maritimes, même s'il en reste quelques-uns.

Pour Robert Sabatier, cet « ample recueil » offre les différents paysages, réel et intérieur, du poète : , qu'il cite particulièrement. Sabatier observe également que Reverdy s'y rapproche parfois du classicisme, avec alexandrins et rimes.

Sources du vent comporte notamment les poèmes « Chemin tournant », « Marche sans direction », « Jour éclatant », « Spectacle des yeux », qui figurent dans diverses anthologies poétiques.

Le kabosy, kabosse ou kabossy est un instrument de musique à cordes de Madagascar. C'est une petite guitare rustique très ancienne. Le kabosy est utilisé par de nombreux artistes malgaches comme Dama du groupe Mahaleo.

Lutherie

Fait à l'origine d'une carapace de tortue tendue de peau de zébu, il a aujourd'hui la forme d'une guitare de  de long, avec une caisse de résonance rectangulaire (parfois ovale) en bois ou jerricane, percée d'une grosse ouïe en son centre. Son manche a des frettes particulières ne couvrant pas toute la largeur de la touche. Il est monté de six cordes (nylon ou métal) fixées sur des chevilles à l'ancienne. L'accordage du kabosy est souvent G-D-B-B-D-D ou A-D-B-B-D-D. On peut aussi utiliser la guitare comme kabosy en accordant la corde E (aigue) en D.

We celebrated Easton's first birthday on Saturday, May 16th, 2009. What a beautiful day it was, we couldn't have asked for better weather.
We have nicknamed Easton "our little monkey" and so I thought it appropriate that we have a Monkey party.
The morning started off with me running all over to pick up the cake, pick up the balloons, etc. Mitchell had a baseball game that morning so Brett was with him, thank goodness for my mom who came down from Oak Harbor and watched the birthday boy for me.
Everything was all set by 1:30 just in the nick of time for people to start arriving to see Easton. In the invite I said Light appetizers...well they were definately not Light and everyone had eaten before they got there (Note to self....just put appetizers and skip the light part in the future).
We had a great turn out of friends and family. Brett's family included his dad Vic and his wife Linda, his mom Ginger and his dad Ted, his great niece Autumn and great nephew Ryan. For me my mom Connie, my step mom Diane, my little sister Meghan and her mom Melissa and step dad David, my cousin Jenn and her daughter Payton.
Easton was pretty miserable in the morning has he was in the process of cutting three molars. We all proceeded to sing Happy Birthday to him and when it came time for cake he wasn't really wanting it. But he decided to take a taste of the yummy Gluten Free cake I made and my mom iced it for me (since I had no clue how to do this). He liked it for the most part, but wasn't diving into it like most kids who get their first taste of sugar. However, he did decide to run his icing covered hand through his hair and gave himself a mohawk.
After cake we all decided to head for the front yard which was all in shade now and much cooler than our deck area. Brett and I bought him a Radio Flyer ATW (All Terrain Wagon) for his present along with a sun umbrella and an ice cooler for the back of it. The wagon was OVERFLOWING with presents from everyone. He got some great presents. One precious moment is when he got some books from Grandma Diane with Elmo on the front, Easton decided to give him a great big kiss...it was precious. Thank you everyone! I'm hoping to get thank you cards out here soon.
I'll be posting some photos soon, I realized this morning that they are on my laptop.

Usually on Thursdays Mommy takes me to school in the morning, but today she took me to the mall where I got to play with Ben in the play area. After a little while, Henry and his mommy showed up. Then we went and stood in this line (except I kept escaping and running down the mall; Mommy kept having to chase me!). After a little while, all the mommies tried to give us away to this strange man in a red suit and a long, white beard! He looked like the same guy I saw on a fire engine in front of Grandmommy's house a few days ago.
So anyway, Mommy tried to put me on his lap, but I was so upset that she was going to leave me with him that I cried and cried! Henry and Ben cried to. So whatever Mommy was going to do (I heard talk of a photo) didn't happen!
Instead, Ben's mommy bribed us all with Teddy Grahams and my mommy took this picture.
Teddy Grahams make things better.
I didn't like the guy in the red suit, but I had fun playing with Ben!
Seriously. We showed Sammy an episode of Thomas a few weeks ago, and he was instantly addicted. He started bouncing to the "Thomas and Friends" theme song and gets excited whenever Daddy turns on the On-Demand menu of the cable box. When I took Sammy to a toy store the other day and went past the "Thomas" display and he reached out for all the tank engine toys. At Grandma's house over Thanksgiving, Sammy got to watch a bit too much TV for my taste, so now we're on a "Thomas" moratorium.
Beth kept promising to send me this link, but I actually got it off Brenda's LiveJournal page.
Henry's mommy and daddy and granddaddy spent Thanksgiving in Atlantic City, very close to where my grandmommy lives. Today, they stopped by my grandmommy's house and I got to play in the front yard with Henry. It was a really nice day, and we had fun pushing my wagon around. I like to sit inside and have people (especially my Uncle Boo) pull me around.
Today was a great day. Unkie Boo arrived from Florida and we had a great big yummy dinner. There was turkey, sweet potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and my favorite: peas!
5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in anyway.
Today Mommy took me to the Museum of Natural History in Washington with Ben and his mommy. Another mommy from our Mother's First met us there and we had lots of fun in the mammal room. There were TVs on the floor which was really silly! I really liked the panel where you could hear sounds bush babies made if you pressed the buttons. I didn't really care about the sounds — I just liked pushing the buttons!
Mommy had me in my teddy bear baby harness so that I could walk around and not be stuck in my stroller. Ben was in his puppy dog baby harness and we both looked really cute. See!
I love to push buttons!
Don't Ben and I look cute?
Mommy and Daddy took me to the park today. There were lots of fun things to play on and lots of other little kids there to play with. I had a lot of fun on the toy car and in the play house. Mommy even helped me go down the slide!


Hate keeping track of event listeners?
Wish you had removeAllListeners()? Wish you had removeAllListeners(EventDispatcherWithABunchOfListeners)? Wish you could remove all listeners that targetted a specific function?
A while ago I posted a class I wrote to handle actionscript 3 listeners.
I updated EventManager.as today to by default set weakReference to true and to always add the listener (if you used it before it might break code that didn't declare the last parameter).
Note that the class doesn't have full support for listeners with useCapture specified… but who really uses those anyway?
*Edit: I have found that I am wrong about the following (as shown from the comments). In AS3, numbers are in fact placed in their wrapper classes. My interpretation are wrong. You can keep read the following if you want to know how it DOESN'T work. Basically what I describe is how Java works. AVM2 doesn't do this, it wraps everything as an object… Sort of strange as there are performence gains using primitives.
I read a post recently that asked whether AS3 Number objects are actually treated as objects in AS3.
Number, int, etc are primitives. Just like in Java, these types have their Object class associations in case you want to create instances and call various methods that come with the Number class. For example, the Number class has functions like toFixed for number precison and accuracy.
The concept of primitives are sort of confusing to newer programming as they go against object oriented programming. In fact, in Smalltalk, one of the first OOP languages, EVERYTHING is an object. The +, -, *, etc are treated as "messages".
Also, in terms of an ideological argument, Number can be said to be the lowest form to describe an object. Think of the composition property of object oriented design. Everything is made of objects that are made of objects that are made of objects… There are theoretically an infinite amount of layers in-between. Object oriented design is the practice of selecting certain layers and abstracting the rest. But at the very core, every object has to be made up of primatives (more specifically, since Strings can be represented as numbers). Think of any class you've ever programmed. The properties will always have either primatives or other objects. If you recurisvely loop through other objects they will all also be made up of primatives (unless they have no properties at all… that's sort of an anomoly and bad programming design dependant on "isA" relationships… so I'm going to avoid that tangent).
Primitive types are the building blocks. Just like materials are made from atoms… you can't really go lower than Numbers in describing an object. Additionally, primitives are passed by VALUE rather by reference.
Here's another post I wrote a while back that went a little deeper into this concept.
Google mentions on their in one of their Chrome FAQs that it's up to the web developer to decide if a new link opens as a seperate process or not.
However, when I clicked on the W3 School's html sample tab (which launched the now frozen tab), I noticed it was also frozen. My other tabs, such as Gmail, Google Calendar, etc were fine.
Makes sense. In fact, that is one of the reasons why current web browsers run in a single thread. No big deal. Most of the time I have multiple "sessions" of browsing and I don't mind if a few tabs share the same process thread.
Anyway, if you don't have Google Chrome, get it. Finally multi-core machines will see benefits in browsing the web. I can have 10 tabs open without seeing a slowdown.


Quick question about these characters who first appeared (I think) on page 303. Are they mentioned previously or in another book. I really don't know who they or if that matters.
Other than not getting that, I loved the book.
Scroll down to the 3 Vampires thread. Same question, lots of answers.
Thank you, that thread was quite helpful. Teach me not to scroll down a full page in the future. BTW, you asked the question more intelligently and eloquently. Thanks agaon.

Smarter Teams Are More Sensitive, Have More Women?
Being one smart cookie doesn't matter much if you're working in a group, according to the first study to calculate collective intelligence—a group's ability to succeed at a variety of tasks.Surprisingly, in a team an individual's smarts has little to do with success in thought-based tasks such as visual puzzles and negotiating over scarce resources, a battery of recent experiments found.
Instead, a group is more successful if it contains people who are more "socially sensitive"—in this case meaning they're better able to discern emotions from people's faces.
That also explains why groups with more women—who consistently score higher on tests of social sensitivity—were more likely to excel, said study leader Anita Williams Woolley, an expert in collective intelligence at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
Particularly intelligent groups also had more people who took turns speaking, according to the study, published tomorrow in the journal Science.
"There's such a focus on individual intelligence and individual accomplishment, especially in western culture," she said.
"As our world becomes flatter and more interconnected, it's not as important to consider what an individual can do by themselves but what they can do collectively."
Calculating Collective Intelligence
Individual intelligence is measured by the ability of a person to do multiple tasks well, Woolley said. To see if the same would be true of groups, Woolley and colleagues recruited 699 volunteers and first measured each person's intelligence and social sensitivity using standard psychological tests.
The volunteers were then randomly split into groups of two to five and asked to do some simple tasks, such as solving a visual puzzle.
The results from the first round of experiments revealed that certain groups were better at all types of tasks, which is the "primary evidence for the notion of collective intelligence," Woolley said.
By tallying the scores on this first barrage of tests, the scientists came up with a collective intelligence score for each group.
Next, the groups were each asked to perform more complex tasks, which included playing a video game against an imaginary opponent and solving a research-and-development problem.
As suspected, the groups' collective intelligence scores from the first round of tests predicted how they'd do on the complex experiments, Woolley said.
Findings May Benefit Real-World Groups
This ability to predict group success may offer guidance in real-life situations—especially as more decisions in fields such as business and the military are made in consensus-based settings, she said.
For instance, knowing a group's collective intelligence could be crucial in a high-risk situation where "suboptimal performance would be costly," such as embarking on a new business venture, she said.
Likewise, the findings could help people succeed in group therapy, according to Bonnie Jacobson, a clinical psychologist in New York City.
Already the study's conclusions confirm the group-based problem-solving that Jacobson has observed while leading therapy sessions.
"There's no individual therapist that ever lived that has the brilliance of a group—if it's Freud, Jung, Erikson," she said.
"That's what they're proving here—I just love it."
Group Smarts Rooted in Animal Kingdom
Group savvy may also be rooted in evolution, study leader Woolley said.
For instance, "you can't be really good at hunting but not good at gathering," she said.
"Figuring out how to more flexibly deploy the skills available through members of groups would be associated with survival."
(Related: "Future Humans: Four Ways We May, or May Not, Evolve.")
Likewise, Woolley said, the study is evidence that human societies may function better en masse, just like many animal species.
"It's no mistake that some of the earlier work on collective intelligence does borrow from the animal kingdom," she said.
(Read more about animal minds in National Geographic magazine.)
For instance, she said, "ants are simple creatures but collectively can accomplish things that are amazing."

Streaming Review: The Iceman
By cGt2099 | December 6th, 2013 at 6:20 pm
Netflix | Amazon | HitBliss | iTunes | SEN | Vudu | YouTube
Directed by Ariel Vromen
Starring Michael Shannon, Winona Ryder, Chris Evans, Ray Liotta, James Franco, David Schwimmer, Stephen Dorff, Robert Davi
Millennium Films
Originally Released: August 30, 2012
Don't call him a hitman, contract killer, or mass murderer – Richard Kuklinski will forever be known to history as The Iceman; a mob enforcer named as such for freezing his victims to confuse the authorities as to the time of death. Portrayed by Michael Shannon in the Ariel Vromen-directed biopic, The Iceman is a crime drama worth your attention.
Spanning several decades, The Iceman starts in the 1960s, first depicting Kuklinski's first date with future wife Deborah (Winona Ryder). Coming from a tortured and abusive background, Kuklinski and his brother Joseph (Stephen Dorff) fall into lives of delinquency, and eventually murder. While Joseph is caught and imprisoned, Richard ends up becoming a mob enforcer for Roy DeMeo (Ray Liotta) as he attempts to also have a normal family life with his wife and daughters.

Chris Evans has been cast in The Iceman, replacing James Franco.
The movie tells the story of Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski, one of the most vicious and emotionless serial killers this planet has ever seen. Most people are familiar with Kuklinski after seeing his bone-chilling interviews on TV, where he talks in great detail about the murders he committed, the work he did as a contract killer for the mob, and how he kept it a secret from his seemingly normal family life.
