The ZTE Axon M Gives Small Business Owners a Mobile Option — with Dual Screens
Published: Oct 31, 2017 Last Updated: Oct 20, 2020 by Michael Guta In Technology Trends 1
For small businesses looking to get more done outside of the office, the new ZTE Axon M could be a critical innovation. It comes with two 5.2 inch displays. When fully open, the device actually turns into a small tablet. This phone can remove the strain of working on a small screen by taking advantage of both displays.
When it is folded, the Axon M looks like a standard smartphone and it pretty much has the same features. The transformation takes place when you unfold the back and it lights up to reveal a second screen of the same size.
With more people using their smartphone as their primary computing device, providing more screen real estate means being able to do more. And Axon M has many Android/Google driven apps that take advantage of both screens to run multiple apps separately on each screen or a single app on both.
Smartphones have personal and business use and they have to evolve to keep up with how the technology is being used. Lixin Cheng, CEO of ZTE Mobile Devices (SHE:000063), touched on this point in a press release announcing the new device. He said, "The mobile technology ecosystem and consumer habits have evolved over the past several years, but the smartphone experience has only slightly varied throughout that time until today, with the introduction of the Axon M," Cheng said.
Dan Seiffert of the Verge gives a first look in this video.
ZTE Axon M Dual Screen Smartphone Specs
The Axon M comes with two 5.2-inch screens at 1,920×1,080 pixels each and a 2.15 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor. You get 64GB of storage expandable to 256GB, and 4GB of RAM powered by a 3,180mAh battery.
A single 20M camera is used to capture selfies, regular photographs and 4K video.
Optimized Apps by ZTE
Besides the obvious entertainment value of the Axon M, ZTE wants the phone to improve productivity apps. The company has optimized Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Photos, Chrome, Maps, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Firefox and others along with a total of 80 of the 100 most commonly used apps.
These optimized apps work seamlessly to display the content by taking into account the gap that exists between the screens. So when you are running a spreadsheet or presentation, you won't lose any of the data.
The company has created Dual, Extended, Mirror and Traditional modes to make use of both displays so they can work in tandem or individually.
According to ZTE, the Axon M is going to be available in the US exclusively through AT&T in the next month. Although the price hasn't been announced, the press release says you can get one for $24.17 per month for 30 months, which comes out to $725.
The Axon M has great potential, and for small businesses that spend most of their time outside of the office, the secondary screen and the functionality it provides could be the deciding factor to making the purchase.

I have been to 2 ATT stores, just to see if they have a demo of the phone so that I can see if I want to order it online. So far, no one at either store has even heard of the phone. LOL, so obviously this is a secret from the employees. I guess I will wait until it comes into stores to see how it feels.

Yu Darvish leaves game after some triceps 'tightness,' but does not expect to miss time
NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 23: Yu Darvish #11 of the Texas Rangers pitches against the New York Yankees during the sixth inning at Yankee Stadium on June 23, 2017 in the Bronx borough of New York City. (Photo by Adam Hunger/Getty Images)(Adam Hunger / Getty Images)
By Evan Grant
11:59 PM on Jun 23, 2017 CDT
NEW YORK - The only thing capable of stopping Yu Darvish Friday night was Yu Darvish.
After steamrolling through the seventh, locked in a scoreless tie with New York's Masahiro Tanaka, Darvish mentioned to the Rangers that he'd felt a bit of triceps tightness. And with that his night was done.
"It was more precautionary than anything," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said after the 2-1 10-inning loss. "I don't believe it's a major issue. But to have the history there, I wasn't going to risk that."
And so after striking out 10, allowing two hits and walking none, Darvish was done after 88 pitches. It was the second fewest pitches he's thrown in a start this season.
The Rangers don't anticipate that Darvish will require an MRI and expect him to make his next start on Wednesday or Thursday at Cleveland.
He also left a game in 2015 with what was termed minor triceps discomfort. A day later, it was revealed what he actually was dealing with was a torn ulnar collateral ligament. That required Tommy John surgery to repair. He also had some tightness during spring training this year and had a start pushed back with little issue. Banister said Friday was the first time he's mentioned the triceps since spring training.
Darvish, speaking through an interpreter, said he didn't have any pain, but just felt what was described as "tightness." He said he left the game partly to ensure that he would be able to make his next start as scheduled.
Darvish's exit had other unintended consequences. The Rangers had a precariously thin bullpen because Keone Kela, who had some shoulder issues earlier this season, said he needed another day to recover, Alex Claudio was unavailable after pitching two innings Thursday and Jose Leclerc was deemed unavailable because he had pitched five times in the seven previous days.
In addition, the Rangers didn't feel they had much leeway with Ernesto Frieri after he worked a career-high three innings on Wednesday. Dario Alvarez, who threw 33 pitches in 1.2 innings Wednesday, was available only for one or two batters.
That left the Rangers with Tanner Scheppers, who pitched a scoreless eighth, and Matt Bush. They had Preston Claiborne held back as the long reliever.
Bush allowed a game-tying homer in the ninth and the walk off single in the 10th.

So it's table rebuild time.
This time I used the I-Joist method I've seen here from some of the other builder input. I bought 4 12 footers x 9.5 inches.
I also bought 4 more casters for a total of 8. There are now two four foot cabinets under the table with casters in the corners. That leaves me with no more than 4ft that is being spanned without support.
I replumbed it for my vacuum bagging setup as well as rewired. This time I made sure I had some room for my vacuum resevoir (a propane tank) INSIDE the cabinet vs. hanging off of an eye-bolt on the end.
All I have left to do is lay the formica and I'm back in business.
I checked it against a 1 x 4 x 144 piece of extruded aluminum last night and it is super straight!
The top of the work surface sits about 32 inches high which makes it pretty easy to reach accross.
Now, back to that canard!
skin the top and bottom to make it a torsion box?
....yep, with 3/4 plywood as well as the ends.
I'm applying white formica. A thin layer of wax as well. It gives me a nice clean surface to work with and I can draw on it and see my lines. That should come in handy when I make my blended winglet!
how wide - i prefer 42"


Rand McNally has enhanced and updated its MileMaker database to include distances generated by the new Household Goods Mileage Guide 18 (HHG Guide 18).
New HHG Guide 18 mileage data continue to provide updated, accurate and verifiable shortest-distance mileages between points in the United States, Canada and Mexico. HHG Guide 18 distances have been updated to replace HHG Guide 17 distances that have been in effect since 1997.
Fully updated for 2003, the MileMaker database's HHG miles and routes will reflect the current network of available truck-drivable roads (80,000-pound limits, with 10-foot lane widths and bridge heights of 13 feet, 6 inches) to calculate the shortest distance between two points.
In addition to the HHG Guide 18 update, the enhanced MileMaker database will include more than 7,600 new road segments, 28,000 road updates, 143,000 routable points and 10,000 road classification changes. The MileMaker database contains more than 14.2 billion possible mileage calculations, and more than 726,000 miles of truck-usable highways in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
IntelliRoute and RouteTools also will incorporate the Guide 18 rules. The versions of MileMaker, IntelliRoute and RouteTools software with the new HHG Guide 18 will be issued Nov. 29, 2002, and will be effective Jan. 31, 2003. Information about the release by platform will be available in October at www.trucking.randmcnally.com.


sixstepsrecords/Sparrow Records artist-worshipper/songwriter/author and UK-native Matt Redman releases his album, Beautiful News, December 26. His first new studio album in over two years, Beautiful News, is a collection of songs of salvation and action oriented evangelism, taking the beautiful news to the broken world and bringing hope in a time of despair.
Executive produced by Louie Giglio (Passion Conferences) and produced by Doubledutch (Robert Marvin and Josiah Bell, whose credits include Toby Mac, Mat Kearney), the album also features guest vocalist Delirious? frontman, Martin Smith. Redman and Smith sing together on the high-energy track "Take It to the Streets," which Redman also co-wrote with Smith. The duo also co-wrote the song "All Over the World," originally introduced at Passion 05. Another co-write on the album is "A Greater Song," which Redman wrote with songwriter and worship leader Paul Baloche.
The studio recording of the current, top 10-radio hit, "You Never Let Go," is also featured on Beautiful News. Taking inspiration from Psalm 23, "You Never Let Go" was originally released as a live track from Passion: Everything Glorious. The song is about the importance of realizing that God is holding us and He never lets go, even in the midst of the hardest trials, pain and dark times. It is a reminder that there is "beautiful news" to rejoice in despite life's troubles.

Kňažko on Acting
"Manipulation of energy is the most important thing in acting. Next is talent. Without talent, the energy is useless," said Milan Kńažko recently about becoming an actor. "And you cannot learn talent. You are born with it, and you must develop it."
Milan, like the other actors in Slovakia, studied theatre theory at VSMU, the art and acting school in Bratislava for four years. There the students study everything related to theater, from voice control and singing to fencing, dance and physical movement. They also train their minds studying texts from the likes of Shakespeare, Shaw, Chekov and other classic authors. Also, they study şthe method', a world-wide known system for actors created by the Russian director Constantin Stanislavsky, which gained popularity in America because of well-known practitioners such as Robert Deniro. "We studied Stanislavsky as well, but I don't believe any one system works for all actors. You must develop your own," said Milan sternly. "You must know everything about the role you are going to play. şThe method' is not 100% concrete. Nothing is."
Milan Kńažko can't be seen regularly performing (or can he?), due to the occupational demands of his position as president of the Democratic Union. He still hasn't ruled out returning to his original occupation.

Celebrity curators
Posted by michelle Nov - 20 - 2006 0 Comment
Recently, I spotted a CNN story about the Louvre "inviting slam poets in to rap about paintings". In what was surely conceived as a PR-double whammy (bring in a celebrity, create a programme that appeals to youth/urban hipsters), Toni Morrison has been invited to be a guest curator this month.
The American Nobel laureate has helped the Louvre conceive a series of lectures, readings, films, concerts, debates and slam poetry that will continue through November 29. All center around her theme "The Foreigner's Home," touching on national identity, exile and the idea of belonging.
Inviting Morrison to the museum was part of Louvre Director Henri Loyrette's outreach to the United States. […] Loyrette, who took over at the 213-year-old institution in 2001, also has been trying to shake up France's perceptions of the role of museums. "A museum for me is not just a place, it's a place for education, a place with a social role," he said.
I've heard the term "celebrity curator" tossed around quite a bit, and usually with derision. I found this move by the Louvre (rhyming intentional) to be fairly benign, however. It seems part of a larger attempt on the part of the Louvre to fill the social role that Loyrette refers to.
The larger notion of the "celebrity curator" is far more dangerous than the Louvre example I'm citing here. The rather serious role of cultural arbiter that the curator plays ensures that there is an inevitable aura of power and, subsequently, the potential for sexiness that is congruous with the idea of celebrity, but we have to be careful: that power should also not be misused. Hence, while the Louvre's move as it stands is respectable on several levels, even though Morrison is not a formally-trained curator (she has other cultural credentials), I would cringe at handing over a similar role to most actresses or pop musicians. They have cultural credentials of a sort, too, and could expand the audience of a museum, but the danger here is a dilution of a museum's mission to the point of incomprehensibility.
Morrisson's work at the Louvre has also been reported on at the New York Times (much more in-depth article than the CNN story).

As hope for Canadian Freedom fades away, Canadians had better support Patriots like Roman Baber
Video Link: Roman Baber year-end address from Queen's Park media studio - #BetterWayForward
December 11, 2021 - Canadian Call-to-Action: The Canadian Charter of Rights has been under ferocious attack by globalists and traitors masquerading as Canadian politicians and public health authorities. There are only a handful of true Canadian leaders committed to protecting the rights and freedoms of Canadians in this most difficult time. Roman Baber is one such rare Canadian leader.
Time is running out for Canadians who are concerned about the grave situation and globalist attack taking place in Canada. It is time for all self-respecting true Canadians to throw their moral and financial support behind freedom fighters like Roman Baber. Simultaneously, traitors and corrupt politicians like Onterio Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Trudeau must be exposed for their egregious acts of treason and bio-corruption. Globalist sell-outs and traitors like Ford and Trudeau must wake up to fierce pressure from all freedom-loving Canadians on a daily basis.
Please read and act on the Roman Baber call-to-action letter provided below.
By: Extremely American & Extremely Canadian Colin Wright
Message from Roman Baber
For two years Ontarians did what was asked of them. This is despite the Ford Government and Public Health being wrong on just about everything. They were wrong on lockdowns, seasonality, mobility, mode of transmission, surface transmission, plexiglass, natural immunity and herd immunity.
The goalpost kept moving with the most recent goal being 80% of Ontarians vaccinated. Now, with over 90% of Ontarians vaccinated, the goalpost moved again.
Restrictions are back in four Regional Health Units and the Government is eyeing a return to the dark times of last winter.
This is unacceptable.
It is time to stop giving Doug Ford and Public Health the benefit of the doubt and pivot our pandemic response. There will always be another variant and 90% vaccination rate didn't do the trick.
That's why this week I proposed a Better Way Forward:
Protect Long Term Care. More than 80% of all Canadians who passed away from Covid were residents of Long-Term Care homes. Let's focus on where the risk is and respond with adequate staffing and resources.
Build healthcare capacity. 400 patients should not shutdown a province of 15 million people. Ontario's healthcare capacity is on the ropes. We have less capacity now than we did in March 2020. We need to focus on more staffing, particularly nurses. Let's bring all our healthcare heroes back and rethink compensation to attract and retain talent.
Let Ontarians make their own medical choices. Ontarians are free to follow Public Health advice and recommendations, but no Ontarian should be punished, threatened, or vilified because of their personal choices. There is no place for segregation in Ontario.
Return to normal - it's time to heal. Many Ontarians, especially Ontario's children are unable to bare Public Health intervention any longer. Returning to normal is what's best for our health and well-being. It's time to heal.
If you are getting this email then you are all set to continue standing by me and the extraordinary people that work and volunteer with me. But we need to grow our numbers. If you support my plan for a Better Way Forward, please start identifying like-minded Ontarians and urge them to join us at JoinRoman.ca. We need to organize and offer a home to all Ontarians who wish to end Public Health intervention into the daily lives of healthy Ontarians.
If you haven't already, follow me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. I also invite you to make a Donation to my Roman Baber Constituency Association – every little bit helps.
Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and joy during this holiday season.

Chocolate as medicine: a quest over the centuries
By Donatella Lippi2013-07-03T00:00:00+01:00
Philip K Wilson and W Jeffrey Hurst
2012 | 213pp | £29.99
The rehabilitation of chocolate has occurred only in recent times. The pages of scientific magazines have been positively recaptured and chocolate's reputation is being restored to the value that Carl Linnaeus credited to this food, when he named the generous plant Theobroma cacao, the food of the gods.
The authors of Chocolate as medicine start their dissertation from this definition, tracing the history of chocolate as medicine and providing very interesting glimpses into its current use. The book summarises the best evidence available from science to support and confirm the health benefits of chocolate.
Cocoa and chocolate, in fact, represent an important occasion of confrontation in terms of medicine and dietetics. In the past, when no effective therapeutic means existed, the best possibility for a patient to recover from disease was the use of lifestyle and diet as strategies to ensure physical and mental wellbeing. In this regard, chocolate was used for many purposes; however, when dietetics separated from medicine, chocolate acquired the role of excipient, being associated with different health problems.
Recent studies have now provided the evidence to a century's established use of chocolate as medicine, and this enjoyable book reconstructs this path, providing an inter-disciplinary approach, thanks to the complementary skills of the two authors.
The book includes a complete list of the disorders and the diseases that 'chocolate (cacao) products have reputedly improved throughout history' in an appendix. However, the inventory given here is based on the list supplied by Teresa Dillinger et al, thus omitting references to the primary sources, which would have been useful to contextualise the relationship between pathologic entities, therapeutic treatments and the historic frame.
The bibliography is complete and contains the latest publications, even if some eminent old authors have been neglected: Bartolomeo Marradon, for instance, Santiago de Valverde Turices and Francesco Redi.
The editing is very accurate, except that Francesco Maria Brancaccio was an Italian Catholic Cardinal and not a Spanish one, as the spelling Francisco could suggest. Talking about chocolate, this may be indicative of a Spanish-centred viewpoint!

Рябинокизильник ( [= × ]) — род деревянистых растений семейства . Включает единственный вид — Рябинокизильник Позднякова () — межродовой природный гибрид между  и .

Вид назван в честь советского ботаника Льва Константиновича Позднякова.

Распространение и экология
Эндемик России. Ареал ограничен долиной среднего течения р. Алдан (от г. Томмот до устья р. Учур). Встречается в основном на каменистых, мелкопрофильных, мерзлотных, дерново-карбонатных оподзоленных или скрыто оподзоленных почвах. Вид обладает довольно широкой экологической амплитудой, с одной стороны, является факультативным кальцефилом, так как часть его местонахождений относится к сосновым и лиственнично-сосновым лесам (редко — к открытым каменистым склонам), растущим на карбонатных материнских породах, а с другой — встречается на нейтральных почвах в составе высокосомкнутых лиственничных и смешанных лесов.

Ботаническое описание

Листопадный кустарники, в природных условиях достигает 2—3 м высоты, с немногими, обычно двумя-тремя, тонкими (2—3 см в диаметре) стволами; поросли не образует. Молодые побеги тонкие, сначала волосисто-войлочные, позднее — рассеянно-волосистые; годовалые — тёмно-пурпуровые или бурые, блестящие; у 3-4-летних ветвей кора коричневая или коричнево-серая, продольно-морщинистая, с лупящейся серой кожицей, почки 3-5 мм длиной, 2—3,5 мм шириной, конические или яйцевидно-конические, несколько сжатые, острые; наружных чешуй две, кожистые желтовато-коричневые или тёмно-коричневые. Черешок в 3,5—8 раз короче пластинки, листья широкие, в очертании яйцевидные, 3,2—7,2 см длиной и 3—7 см шириной, все, за исключением немногих, сложные непарноперистые, с одной-тремя парами супротивных листочков. Боковые листочки эллиптические или продолговатоэллиптические.

Листочки верхней пары частью с широким основанием, прирастающим к стержню, или более или менее срастаются, почти всегда несимметрично с конечным листочком, в некоторых случаях почти целиком. Благодаря частичному срастанию трёх верхних листочков верхняя часть листа нередко асимметрично рассечена. Некоторые боковые листочки снабжены одним верхним прилистником, приросшим к верхней части основания листочка. Прилистник зелёный. Пары листочков расположены близко одна к другой, и листочки соприкасаются своими краями. Изредка встречаются листья, состоящие из двух супротивных листочков, сросшихся своими основаниями. Листья сверху матовые, усаженные редкими белыми волосками, длинными, паутинообразными, снизу светлые, серовато-зелёные, с довольно густым опушением из таких же тонких, но переплетающихся волосков, образующих рыхлый, разреженный войлок. Боковые жилки в числе пяти-шести пар, на нижней стороне выдающиеся.

Соцветия на концах коротких облиственных (с двумя-тремя листьями) веточек, развивающихся из боковых почек, прошлогоднего удлинённого побега, или чаще их верхушечной почки прошлогоднего укороченного побега. Соцветие состоит из двух (очень редко из одной) кистей, выходящих из верхней пазухи листа. Кисти пониклые, простые, из двух-четырёх цветков, собранные в виде небольшого щитка. Ось кисти вместе с верхней плодоножкой 1,2—2,5 см длиной, негусто опушена тонкими длинными волосками. Плод — округлое яблоко 8—11 мм длиной. Плоды съедобны, но суховатые и пресные, с небольшим объёмом мякоти.

Охрана

Вид внесён в Красные книги России и некоторых субъектов России: Республика Саха (Якутия) и Хабаровский край.

Вид выращивается в ботанических учреждениях России (Главный ботанический сад, Ботанический сад БИН РАН, Дендрологический сад СевНИИЛХ, Уральский сад лечебных культур лесотехнической академии, Ботанический сад Иркутского государственного университета, Ботанический сад Московского государственного университета, Центральный Сибирский Ботанический сад, Дендрологический сад Национального парка «Плещеево озеро», Ботанический сад Мордовского государственного университета, Ботанический сад НИИ аграрных проблем Хакасии, Якутский ботанический сад СО РАН и других).

Manchester had only 1 case of Syphilis reported in 2015. The city rate was 2 per 100,00 population. Overall, Connecticut had a total of 99 cases and a rate of 3 per 100,000 population. The highest rate for Syphilis was found in Washington, Connecticut.
In 2015, there were a total of 277 newly diagnosed cases of HIV in the state of Connecticut. The highest rates for HIV were found in urban areas such as Hartford and Bridgeport.
Although Connecticut does not require sexual education, it does require HIV education. The Connecticut State Department of Education highly recommends that sexual health education be taught in public schools.
While many schools do teach sexual education, laws and resources are needed to improve sexual education in the state of Connecticut. Recommending sexual education is not good enough. More attention is needed to promote the importance of sexual education.
African Americans had the highest Chlamydia rates for both males and females. Black females between the ages of 20 and 24 years old had the highest rate for all groups at 4,109 per 100,000 population in 2014. African Americans had the highest rates among males as well. The rate for African American males between 20 and 24 years old was 1,266 per 100,000 population.
The demographic group most affected by Gonorrhea in Connecticut was African American females aged 20 to 24 years old. The rate in 2014 was 803 per 100,000 population. However, the rate among males was higher than the rate among females. Overall, African American males had the highest rate in Connecticut.
There were a total of 277 newly diagnosed cases of HIV reported in 2015. The rate was highest among African Americans (29.5 per 100,000 population) in 2015. Hispanics had the second highest rate. Individuals aged 20 to 29 years old showed the highest incidence. The majority of cases were reported among males in the state.

Q: Characteristic Function of Exponential Distribution A characteristic function has the form: $\int_{0}^{\infty}exp[(-it-\lambda)X]*\lambda$.
I have consulted several advanced probability textbook. Durrett just treat i as a real number, which makes the problem quite trivial. However, both Jacob& Protter and Grimmett & Stirzaker state that it is not rigorous to do that, and that you should do contour integral to make a rigorous argument.
I can do it by Taylor expansion or break it into real and imaginary parts.
However, I haven't found a coutour that enable me to do a contour integration in this case...Can anyone show me how to do it?

As I entered the new exhibit at LACMA honoring fashion designer Diane vonFurstenberg (formally a princess), I strolled down a long haul filled with large sized images of her iconic wrap dress, many on the cover of magazines like Vogue and Newsweek. Images of Cheryl Tiegs, Madonna, Paris and Niki Hilton clothed in her wrap dress with von Furstenberg's name as the print brought me back to a long forgotten time. The memorable 1970's and 1980's prints here and there – pink cheetah, green and white zig zagging patterns, black and white popping prints. The walls and floors hugged us with those same designs reminding us of the women we idolized in the fashion magazines.
Women all over the world were wearing this casual comfortable number showcasing women's new found sense of independence of that era. Women could go from work to play with little effort. I remember this wrap dress idea becoming popular with the wrap shirt. Now that the 70's are a distant memory, girls today still long for the wrap dress while searching for vintage finds at flea markets. After a period of rest, the wrap dress has returned. Now in silks, even bolder prints, and a range of fabrics and silhouettes, the wrap dress turned 40 this year.
This collection is a celebration of those dresses that came so far, a journey of a dress.
Belgian born American fashion designer, von Furstenberg rose to prominence when she married into the German princely House of Fürstenberg. Following her divorce in 1972, she kept the name. In 1970 with a $30,000 investment, she started to design woman's clothes. The company's headquarters and flagship boutique are located in Manhatten's Meatpacking District, but can also be found right here in LA at 8407 Melrose Avenue.


31 Bits, a socially conscious brand, was founded in 2008, originating from a love for people, travel, and quality products. Ten years later the brand continues to empower women in Uganda and support skilled artisans in Indonesia, the people who make paper-bead jewelry, handwoven bags, ceramics, brass jewelry, plant-dyed textiles, wood serveware, leather goods, marble goods, and woven baskets.
We recently caught up with one of 31 Bits' three founders, Kallie Thomson — who oversees international operations and is the lead designer — to hear more about the company, ethically produced products, and socially conscious purchasing.
Experience Life | What is 31 Bits?
Kallie Thomson | 31 Bits is a socially conscious brand. Our products are thoughtfully designed and ethically made. We collaborate with some of the most skilled artisans around the world by providing them with dignified job opportunities and giving them access to the global market. Paying fair and sustainable wages to our artisans is just the beginning of what we do. We believe in providing safe and joyful working conditions, a familylike atmosphere, and an environment where every artisan feels known. We believe quality work is a result of artisans who are being cared for as individuals. In a nutshell, we believe that how your stuff is made matters.
EL | Where did the idea originate from?
KT | I was in Uganda working in an orphanage when I met some amazing women who were making paper-bead jewelry. I got to know them over three months and spend time with them and their families. They were spending so much time on creating this jewelry, but they were not able to sell it to provide for their families. Some of them were not able to send their kids to school or provide basic necessities. They asked me to sell the jewelry for them in the United States. I was nervous about the commitment but knew that if it worked they would be able to change their own lives. It would empower them to create the life they desired. So really, 31 Bits originated from the women themselves.
EL | How has the company grown since it started?
KT | We first started in Uganda with six women working in their own homes creating only paper-bead jewelry. Since then, we have graduated more than 100 Ugandan women in our program, and they're now providing for their families through their own businesses. 31 Bits has also diversified its products to include brass jewelry and handwoven bags created by skilled artisans throughout Bali and beautiful home products with artisans in Bali, Java, and Uganda. We are so proud of how far we have come and the skill and ability of the artisans we get to work with.
EL | How many artisans do you employ?
KT | We currently employ 42 women in Uganda who make our amazing paper-bead jewelry. For our brass jewelry and home goods, we partner with more than 40 artisans.
EL | How many people have you helped through 31 Bits?
KT | The more than 100 women who have gone through our extensive four- to five-year program in Uganda have received income through jewelry production. They have also received holistic care, including counseling, health training, and spiritual guidance, and been brought into a community of like-minded women. The program also concentrates on business creation. Women go through extensive finance lessons, current business opportunities, and one-on-one guidance to create their own business so that they are able to graduate from 31 Bits with their own sustainable business.
Working with skilled artisans looks different. We get to partner with them in what they are currently doing and provide a market and a fair wage for their beautiful products. We have been able to work with more than 40 artisans and are so very excited to watch that number grow.
EL | You just launched the Goods section in late November 2017. What was the inspiration behind adding that to the jewelry line?
KT | The inspiration was being in Bali and seeing so many amazing and skilled artisans creating beautiful products. 31 Bits wants to create products that are fairly made and purchased to inspire consumers to know who is creating the products they're buying. If we can create more products for people to purchase fairly and know who is behind their products, then let's go for it! This is not just changing the artisans we get to work with but also the mentality of the consumer, to know who is behind a product and how are they treated.
EL | What are other brands that you love to shop that are ethically produced?
KT | There are so many good ones now! I love that it has become more than a trend — that it is becoming expected for goods to be ethically produced. My favorites are Known Supply, Sseko, Lalesso, Everlane, People Tree, Indego Africa — there are so many goodies.
EL | What would you like people to know about shopping for ethically created products and their accessibility?
KT | Anything you want to purchase you can find being made ethically. Ethically created doesn't mean they have to have an extensive program like our Uganda program but just to know that the people who are making the products are treated well and paid fairly. Most likely if it is cheap, it means someone along the line wasn't paid fairly.
EL | What would you say to someone who thinks ethically produced products are too expensive?
KT | There is a reason ethically made products cost more, and it is because the workers are given dignified work conditions and fair wages. I think the answer is to purchase less in quantity and focus on things that are of higher quality and ethically made. Our society has become so used to excess at any cost. The current cost is on the workers — they are the ones paying for our excess. Buying less helps our planet and the people who make the products.
EL | Have you seen an increase in the number of people who care about ethically produced goods? Why do you think that is?
KT | Yes. It is beyond a trend and is becoming the norm.
EL | Why do you think that is?
KT | I think people want to know how things are made and who is making them. There is a rise in wanting to connect with people globally. We affect each other globally in so many ways: in how we treat this Earth, in how we purchase items, and in how our governments interact. We can't make changes in everything, but we can choose how we care about people and this planet.

Tips for shopping more responsibly.


As the holidays are quickly approaching, you may find you are scrambling to make room for more family members. Maybe you pull out the dining room table's extra leaf or a card table for extra seating. However, no matter the amount of seats in your home during the holidays, everyone seems to congregate in the kitchen. The kitchen island has become the social hub of most homes. If you are planning on building or renovating, chances are you are incorporating an island.
How do you want your island to work for you? Do you want it to have tons of storage and be a working space? Will it have a sink (main or prep), a microwave, and a trash bin? Or, maybe you prefer to have your cooktop at the island with a nice hood over top to really make a statement!
Do you want the island to be all one level or two? How many people do you want to seat here? Los Angeles based interior designer, Betsy Burnham loves the clean lines of a one level surface. In a recent Daily Herald article, To create the perfect kitchen island, planning is key (by Melissa Rayworth), Burnham states, "You're going to need about 3 feet of space around it – at least 3". I agree with this completely! Everyone has been in a too crowded kitchen and it is not pleasant unless you like being cozy and bumping elbows. These three feet give you the room to bend down, open a cabinet and slide a shelf out, and pass by with messy hands to the sink.
I personally love a "two-tone" kitchen, and the island is different from the perimeter cabinetry. Color, hardware, and countertops can really show off your personality. A great way to play with the shape of an island and it's size…get an appliance box or two and makeshift an island. This will give you a visual for space an island will consume, and you can play with the height, or pretend you are a child again building a fort!
Wherever you gather this holiday season, I hope your meal is yummy and your seat is comfortable. Enjoy the company of your family and friends.


First we look back at an alien theory of the 90s, then we revisit our old pal Alex Jones's legal troubles. Then we carefully peel back some layers on the tragedy that occurred two years ago at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. At the time, it was the worst mass shooting in modern American history, and it seemed self-evidently driven by hate, targeting the LGBTQ community. Yet, the FBI and terrorism experts have reached different conclusions than the public and the media, and Ben brings his research expertise to illuminate the situation.

What is Connection Camp, anyway?
You bet you can! In fact, Connection Camp is primed for you to make new friends! Our foremost intention is to create a space that fosters a deep sense of community, openness, and play. Buddy up with your bunkmates, dive deep into shared experiences in workshops, enjoy a heart-to-heart overlooking the lake… Connection Camp is designed to offer virtually endless opportunities to plug into being human – together!
Are there any age limits on Connection Camp? What's the average age of Connection Camper attendees?
How many campers will there be at Connection Camp?
Connection Camp 2018 begins on Thursday, June 14th and check-in begins at 10 am. Camp kicks-off with lunch so arrive early to get settled.
No prob, Bob! Our hope is for you to come play with us from start to finish – and once you're here, we're certain you'll want to soak up every last minute – but hey, it's summer camp for grown-ups, and grown-ups have responsibilities.
All good things must come to an end, including Connection Camp. Camp concludes on Sunday, June 11th at 6 pm.
Transportation, full treatments with our healers and wellness experts, and vendor offerings are available at additional cost.
What's the grub situation like at camp?

What kind of technology can I bring into camp? Is there WIFI or cell phone service?
Given that cell service may be spotty at our lakeside camp abode, if your loved ones can't reach you, they will be able to call our venue's landline in order to get in touch. This information will be provided as camp approaches.
We love furry (and feathered… and scaley… ) friends, but unfortunately, you can't bring them to camp. They don't make very good teammates in a sack race, anyway.
Is there going to be alcohol? What's the policy on drugs?
Do I need a certain level of physical fitness to participate in camp?
Not at all. While some activities will be more physically-oriented than others – for example, partner yoga is going to pose a bit more demand on the old bod than our letter-writing workshop – we'll have a little something for everyone, and will work to make all activities accessible to the full range of participants. Ultimately, everything at Connection Camp is about letting loose and having fun, so whether you were the captain of the varsity football team or dreaded dodgeball in middle school gym class, the playing field is level here. We encourage you to go for the activities that sound the most enticing to you, while participating at a level that feels appropriate for your personal health and fitness.
Yes! If you've got killer skills and camp spirit to spare, we'd love to hear from you! Please don't hesitate to contact us and let us know what you have to offer!
Are you a fantastically mindful service provider? Interested in providing your expertise at camp and expanding your reach? Email with why you think you would be a good fit for camp!
No. Although Connection Camp loves to support small and local businesses, we have chosen to discontinue the Marketplace in 2018!
What if I get a boo-boo at camp?
Maybe! There are two possibilities to lead an event or activity at camp. If you're a professional teacher or workshop facilitator and have an offering that would go hand in hand with the Connection Camp ethos, reach out to us and let us know!

Fewer Daytona Beach Bike Week participants visiting St. Augustine this year
But event is still expected to bring increased motorcycle traffic to downtown St. Augustine
Published: March 10, 2021, 6:06 PM Updated: March 10, 2021, 11:15 PM
Daytona Beach may be only one hour South of St. Augustine, but St. Augustine is traditionally where hundreds of Daytona Bike Week participants either stay in a hotel or go shopping. But ask anyone either attending Bike Week or store owners expecting lots of Bike Week customers and you'll hear it's different this year.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – St. Augustine is expecting increased motorcycle traffic downtown as motorcyclists travel to Daytona Beach for Bike Week, which is scheduled through Sunday, but News4Jax was told there are fewer bikers stopping by the ancient city this year.
Since St. Augustine is only about an hour from Daytona Beach, many Bike Week participants will traditionally stay overnight in the historic city or stop by for some shopping and sightseeing. But Sean Taylor, owner of Old City Gifts in downtown St. Augustine, told News4Jax the crowds of bikers who would normally visit St. Augustine is nowhere near the numbers in years past.
"It's been fair. It's definitely been down in comparison to last year, but it's picking up," Taylor said.
Taylor is still optimistic because spring breakers and tourists are still coming to the city.
"St. Augustine is a beautiful city. We love it here. We love Florida. We love not being mandated to wear a mask outside," said tourist Angela Turse, who has spent the last several months traveling across the country with her husband.
Tom Leventry, a Pennsylvania resident who has been attending Bike Week for several decades, said he enjoys coming to St. Augustine. He said Main Street in Daytona Beach was packed with bikers last weekend, but many of the bars that are traditionally busy this time of year were not.
"When you get around to the Iron Horse, the Last Resort or Cabbage Patch, the attendance in those places is down quite a bit," Leventry said.
Leventry said that based on his observation, it appears 10% of the people attending Bike Week are wearing masks. In St. Augustine, some stores still require visitors to wear masks, while others only encourage it.
The city of St. Augustine will designate parking spaces for motorcycles along Cathedral Place between Charlotte Street and St. George Street, starting Wednesday and continuing through Sunday, in anticipation of increased motorcycle traffic due to Bike Week.
Parking fees remain in place, so those using the designated parking area are encouraged to take advantage of the ParkStAug mobile app to pay for parking.
Areas set aside for motorcycle parking will be designated with traffic cones and signs stating that those using the space must pay to park.

Hell and Back Again ist ein Dokumentarfilm von Danfung Dennis aus dem Jahr 2011. Der Film behandelt den Krieg in Afghanistan und den problematischen Übergang eines US-Soldaten aus dem Krieg zurück in den Alltag, sowie das Thema der posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung bei heimkehrenden US-Soldaten.

Die Premiere des Films fand im Januar 2011 auf dem Sundance Film Festival statt, bei dem der Film Preise in den Kategorien  World Cinema Grand Jury Prize: Documentary  und World Cinema Cinematography Award: Documentary erhielt.
Am 24. Januar 2012 wurde der Film für einen Oscar in der Kategorie Bester Dokumentarfilm nominiert, verlor jedoch gegen die Dokumentation Ungeschlagen.

Hintergrund
Der Regisseur Danfung Dennis arbeitete bereits ab 2006 als Kriegsfotograf in Afghanistan, wobei ihn der Fotojournalismus jedoch zunehmend frustrierte. Er wechselte zu Filmen und neuen Medien, um zu versuchen, die Menschen in den USA zum Thema Afghanistan-Krieg "wachzurütteln" und die "brutale Realität des Krieges auf eine ehrliche Art zu zeigen". Dennis filmte schon einige Zeit, als er die Möglichkeit bekam, im Juli 2009 vier Wochen mit der US Marines Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment zu verbringen. Die Einheit beteiligte sich an dem bis dahin größten Lufteinsatz seit dem Vietnamkrieg. Am ersten Tag des Einsatzes lernte er Nathan Harris kennen, als dieser ihm, trotz der hohen Temperaturen, seine letzte Wasserflasche gibt. Zuerst war der Film nur auf die Situation in Afghanistan konzentriert und sollte unter dem Titel Battle for Hearts and Minds erscheinen. Teile des damaligen Filmmaterials wurden für die Ausgabe Obama's War der Dokumentations-Reihe Frontline benutzt.

Dennis entschied sich erst sieben Monate später dafür, Harris als Hauptperson der Dokumentation zu porträtieren. Bei der Begrüßung der Marines nach deren Heimkehr stieg Harris nicht aus dem Bus aus, woraufhin Dennis von Harris' Verwundung erfuhr. Er nahm Kontakt zu Harris auf und dieser lud Dennis zu sich nach Hause ein. Dennis verbrachte insgesamt ein Jahr mit Harris und dessen Frau.

Handlung

Der Fokus der Dokumentation liegt auf der Geschichte des 25-jährigen Nathan Harris, eines Sergeanten der US Marines Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment. Harris wird zusammen mit seiner Einheit im Juni 2009, im Zuge der Operation Khanjar, in der afghanischen Provinz Helmand nahe der Stadt Sork-Duz abgesetzt. Die Mission seiner Einheit ist die Einnahme einer Brücke. Die Einheit ist von Feinden umgeben, die sie nicht sieht, und kommt nur langsam voran. Am ersten Tag stirbt ein Marine, Lance Corporal Charles Seth Sharp, und zwölf kollabieren aufgrund der Temperaturen von bis zu 54 °C.

In einem Hinterhalt wird Harris sechs Monate später, kurz vor seiner Heimkehr, durch einen Schuss in die Hüfte lebensgefährlich verwundet. Nach der Heimkehr nach Yadkinville in North Carolina hat Nathan Harris Probleme, sich wieder in die Gesellschaft einzufinden. Der Film zeigt ihn und seine Frau Ashley in Alltagssituationen: bei einem Einkauf bei Wal-Mart, bei einem Drive-in-Restaurant und auf der Suche nach einem neuen Haus. Zudem werden Harris' Arzttermine und Physiotherapie gezeigt. Aufgrund der Verwundung entwickelt er eine posttraumatische Belastungsstörung, die eine Medikamentenabhängigkeit zur Folge hat. Harris' Ziel ist es, trotz der schweren Verwundung, wieder in den Kampfeinsatz zurückzukehren.

Produktion

Visueller Stil

Insgesamt entstand innerhalb von sechs Monaten Filmmaterial von etwa 100 Stunden. Bei der Ausgestaltung des visuellen Stils arbeiteten Dennis und die Filmeditorin Fiona Otway eng zusammen. Sie diskutierten ihre Ansichten über den Krieg, wobei klar wurde, dass sich das gängige Bild und Dennis Erfahrungen deutlich unterschieden.

Um ein "ehrliches Porträt des Krieges" zu erzeugen, verbindet Dennis in seinem Dokumentarfilm die zwei Handlungsstränge des Einsatzes in Afghanistan und der Situation von Nathan Harris in North Carolina. Hierbei verwendet er Rückblenden, um die "Desorientierung" und "emotionale Taubheit" zwischen dem "Verlassen einer Welt von Leben oder Tod" und der "Rückkehr in eine Welt, die banal und oberflächlich scheint" darzustellen. Laut Dennis ist es "in Wirklichkeit nur ein Kampf", statt zwei verschiedener. In einem anderen Interview erklärte er seinen Anspruch darin, die "Ethik des Fotojournalismus", also die reine Beobachterrolle, mit der "Erzählweise des Films" zu kombinieren, um eine "eindringliche, emotionale Erfahrung" zu erschaffen.

Danfung Dennis verarbeitete viele persönliche Erfahrungen, da er sein Filmmaterial nicht mit Nathan Harris besprach. Harris bekam den Film erst nach der Fertigstellung zu sehen.

Filmtechnik
Die Dokumentation wurde komplett mit einer Canon EOS 5D Mark II gefilmt. Dies stellte Dennis vor einige Herausforderungen; er nannte hierbei speziell den Ton, die Bildstabilisierung, die Fokussierung und die Tatsache, dass die Kamera aufgrund der hohen Temperaturen in Afghanistan innerhalb von 15 Minuten überhitzte. Er baute sein Stativ um, sodass es eine erweiterte Tonausrüstung tragen und er es an seiner Panzerweste befestigen konnte. Zudem trainierte er die manuelle Fokussierung. Gegen die Überhitzung half lediglich die Abschaltung der Kamera. Für seine Dreharbeiten mit Harris und seiner Frau veränderte er seine Ausrüstung, damit diese möglichst kompakt ausfiel und die Kamera nicht zu auffällig wirkte. Seine Entscheidung für die Canon EOS 5D Mark II begründete er in einem Interview damit, dass er so die "Ästhetik der Fotografie" und "Ethik des Journalismus" mit der "Narrative [einer] Dokumentation" kombinieren konnte, um eine "beeindruckende, umfassende Erfahrung" zu kreieren.

In Afghanistan nutzte Dennis ein Zoomobjektiv mit einer Brennweite von 24 bis 70 mm, bei einer maximalen Blendenzahl von 2,8. Dennis begründete die Objektivwahl mit der "Vielfalt, [die für] weite und enge Aufnahmen nötig war". In Yadkinville nutzte er zwei Normalobjektive, ein Objektiv mit einer Brennweite von 35 mm, bei einer maximalen Blende von 1,4, und ein zweites mit einer Brennweite von 50 mm und einer maximalen Blende von 1,2. Aufgrund der hohen Blende konnte er auch in Situationen mit geringer Beleuchtung filmen.

Ton
Im Film ist keine Musik im klassischen Sinn vorhanden. Dennis verwendete jedoch reale Geräusche als Musikuntermalung, die er in Afghanistan aufnahm und zum Teil deutlich veränderte (siehe auch Musique concrète). Eine Szene im Film, in der ein Dorf gesichert wird, ist dazu mit Kriegsgeräuschen unterlegt, die auf 2 % ihrer ursprünglichen Geschwindigkeit verlangsamt wurden. Dies ergibt ein "anhaltendes Dröhnen". Dasselbe Dröhnen verwendete Dennis bei der Unterlegung eines Gesprächs zwischen Harris und seinem Arzt hinsichtlich der Gefahren der Schmerzmittel. Er versucht dabei, "die Linie zwischen Gegenwart und Vergangenheit durch [den] Ton alleine [verschwimmen zu lassen]". Dennis erklärte dazu, dass Harris' Flashbacks "oft mit einem Geräusch beginnen". Er versuche, zu "transportieren, wie es sich anfühlt, wirklich einen Flashback zu haben".

Ebenso wie er beim Schnitt eng mit der Editorin Fiona Otway zusammenarbeitete, ist der Ton eine Kooperation zwischen Dennis und dem Sounddesigner J. Ralph. Ralph schrieb zusätzlich den Song "Hell And Back", der während des Abspanns zu hören ist. Der Interpret des Stücks ist Willie Nelson.

Rezeption

Veröffentlichung
Der Film kam am 5. Oktober 2011 in die Kinos, nachdem er zuvor auf dem Sundance Film Festival 2011 und dem Moscow International Film Festival 2011 aufgeführt worden war. Am ersten Wochenende nahm der Film dabei 3.413 US-Dollar ein, wobei er zuerst lediglich in einem Kino lief. Insgesamt spielte der Film weltweit 40.949 US-Dollar ein. Die Verbreitungsrechte für Nordamerika besitzt Docurama Films, welche die Dokumentation am 24. Januar 2012 auf Blu-Ray und DVD veröffentlichten. Die Senderechte für das Fernsehen sicherte sich Public Broadcasting Service. Dort wurde die Dokumentation am 24. Mai 2012 innerhalb der Filmserie Independent Lens ausgestrahlt. Der Film wurde außerdem beim kanadischen Filmfestival Hot Docs und zwischen dem 24. August 2012 und dem 31. August 2012 im kanadischen Bloor Hot Docs Cinema gezeigt. Am 12. Oktober 2011 wurde der Film in Großbritannien veröffentlicht, worauf am 21. Dezember 2011 Frankreich folgte. Für Großbritannien wird ein Einspielergebnis von 315 US-Dollar angegeben. Zu den Kinoveröffentlichungen in Großbritannien und Frankreich kamen mehrere Ausstrahlungen der Dokumentation auf dem spanischen Sender Canal+ im April und September 2012.

In Österreich fanden 2012 und 2013 auf dem frame[o]ut-freestyle-Filmfestival beziehungsweise auf dem Filmfestival Kitzbühel die einzigen Vorführungen des Dokumentarfilms im deutschsprachigen Raum statt.

Kritiken
Von Kritikern wurde der Film ausgesprochen positiv bewertet. So listet Rotten Tomatoes insgesamt 31 Kritiken, die durchweg positiv ausfielen. Der Metascore der Dokumentation liegt bei 81 von 100, basierend auf 17 Kritiken.

Der Filmkritiker Roger Ebert resümiert, der Dokumentarfilm präsentiere "[Harris'] neue Realität mit einem erstaunlich guten Einsatz von Bild- und Tonbearbeitung". Die letzten Szenen entfalteten eine "emotionale und stilistische Kraft, die [die Zuschauer] nicht kommen sehen". Er bewertet den Film deswegen mit dreieinhalb von vier möglichen Sternen.
Die gleiche Wertung vergibt Linda Barnard in einer Kritik für den Toronto Star, wobei sie Dennis bescheinigt, Harris' Geschichte mit der "Objektivität eines Journalisten" zu behandeln, obwohl diese "emotional erschütternd" sei.
V. A. Musetto, ein Kritiker der New York Post, bewertet den Film mit drei von vier Sternen und nennt die Dokumentation "gewagt". Das Filmmaterial sei "oft überwältigend".
Für Wesley Morris, Filmkritiker des The Boston Globe, ist der Film eine "geniale, artistische Beunruhigung". Dennis' Film versuche, was nur wenige Dokumentationen schaffen würden: in der Psyche des Subjekts zu wohnen. Trotzdem gebe der Film nicht vor, genau zu wissen, was Harris denke.
Alison Willmore vergleicht in einem Review für The A.V. Club den Dokumentarfilm mit Tödliches Kommando – The Hurt Locker. Willmore nennt Hell and Back Again ein Vérité-Stück mit "fast ablenkender Schönheit" und gibt dem Film die Note B.
Zwei Besprechungen der Zeitungen The Observer und The Guardian stimmen dem positiven Tenor zu. Philip French gibt an, der Film sei "tief bewegend", und Peter Bradshaw meint, der Film halte sich nicht zurück. Bradshaw vergibt dabei vier von fünf Sternen.

Eine gemischtere Meinung vertritt Chris Knight von der National Post. Er fühlt sich von der Schnitttechnik Dennis' manipuliert. Die Übergänge seien zwar "filmisch wirksam", aber fühlten sich "emotional manipulierend" an. Für ihn wird nicht deutlich, wie sich Harris veränderte, wodurch der Film nur "zwei Drittel eines Bildes" darstelle und nach einem "prälapsarischen [vor dem Sündenfall] Prolog" rufe. Auch Lauren Wissot, Kritikerin für das Slant Magazine, kritisiert die Schnitttechnik und bezeichnet sie als teilweise "ablenkend und offensichtlich", trotzdem sei die Dokumentation eine "universelle Soldatengeschichte". Beide Kritiker gaben dem Film zweieinhalb Sterne von vier möglichen.

Auszeichnungen
Auf dem Sundance Film Festival 2011 gewann der Film den Preis der Jury und den Kamerapreis jeweils für die beste ausländische Dokumentation. Auch auf dem Moscow International Film Festival 2011 gewann der Film den Preis der besten Dokumentation. Zusätzlich wurde die Dokumentation bei mehreren kleineren Filmfestivals und Preisverleihungen ausgezeichnet. So gewann der Film den IDA Award in der Kategorie Jacqueline Donnet Emerging Filmmaker Award, bei den Cinema Eye Honors die Auszeichnung Outstanding Achievement In Cinematography, den Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Award 2012 und den Harrell Award for Best Documentary beim Camden International Film Festival 2011.

Neben den gewonnenen Preisen wurde die Dokumentation bei einigen Filmfestivals und Preisverleihungen nominiert. Der Dokumentarfilm erhielt bei den Film Independent Spirit Awards, Gotham Independent Film Awards und British Independent Film Awards Nominierungen als beste Dokumentation. Bei den Cinema Eye Honors war der Film in vier Kategorien nominiert, wobei der Film in der Kategorie Outstanding Achievement In Cinematography gewann. Die zusätzlichen Kategorien waren Outstanding Achievement In Direction, Best Debut Feature und Outstanding Achievement In Production.

Am 24. Januar 2012 wurde der Film für einen Oscar in der Kategorie Bester Dokumentarfilm nominiert, verlor aber gegen den US-amerikanischen Beitrag Ungeschlagen. In Reaktion auf die Nominierung erhielt der Produzent Mike Lerner ein Gratulationsschreiben des britischen Premierministers David Cameron.

Hell and Back Again gewann am 6. November 2012 den Grierson Award 2012 in der Kategorie Best Documentary on a Contemporary Theme – International. Am 11. Juli 2013 wurde der Dokumentarfilm aufgrund seiner Ausstrahlung im Rahmen der Programmreihe Independent Lens für einen News & Documentary Emmy Award nominiert.

Veteranen
Zur Veröffentlichung der Dokumentation startete die Veteranenorganisation Disabled American Veterans eine Aufklärungskampagne über die Erkrankung der posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung. In gleicher Weise nutzte die Organisation Still Serving Veterans den Film, um die Aufmerksamkeit für Soldaten mit posttraumatischer Belastungsstörung zu erhöhen, und veranstaltete zu diesem Zweck eine öffentliche Vorführung von Hell and Back Again. Die Florida State University zeigte den Film an einem speziellen "Veterans Day", der den Auftakt einer Initiative für eine veteranenfreundlichere Universität bildete. Gleichzeitig war der Film der Auftakt eines "Student Veteran Film Festival". An der Vorführung nahmen Danfung Dennis, der Produzent Karol Martesko-Fenster, sowie Nathan und Ashley Harris teil. Auch der Veteranenverband der University of Iowa organisierte eine Vorführung der Dokumentation.

Leanne Lemley, Präsidentin der Frauenabteilung des Veteranenverbandes Veterans of Foreign Wars, erwähnte Hell and Back Again in einer Rede über heimkehrende Soldaten. Sie nannte den Übergang von Krieg zu Alltag "schwierig", wie es "kürzlich in all seiner düsteren Pracht in Dokumentationen wie Hell and Back Again [gezeigt wurde]".

Acura Begins Producing 2013 Acura RDX in East Liberty, Ohio
Ben TimminsWriter
The larger, brawnier 2013 Acura RDX is on its way to dealers and driveways: Acura announced that it has begun production on the new model at the East Liberty, Ohio plant.
While the first generation of Acura's RDX compact utility vehicle was made at the Marysville, Ohio plant (alongside the Acura TL and Honda Accord), Acura moved production of the second generation model to the nearby East Liberty, Ohio plant, where it will be built alongside the Honda Crosstour and CR-V crossovers. Acura also promises that much of the car will be made with American parts, including engines assembled in nearby Anna, Ohio, and transmissions from Russells Point, Ohio.
With the first of the RDXs coming off the East Liberty line as you read this, Honda's officially halfway through a $166 million expansion and retooling of the East Liberty plant, promising to make the plant more efficient while keeping up with the brisk demand for the CR-V.
Honda and Acura are hoping that the RDX's demand will be brisk as well: the car has been redesigned with simplicity and broad appeal in mind. The old car's intricate and expensive turbocharged four-cylinder engine and torque vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive have been thrown out. In their place is a simpler and brawnier 3.5-liter V-6 (which also promises better fuel economy), and a simpler all-wheel drive setup.
The car will go on sale next month, starting at$35,305, including destination charges.

Special Issue: Living On
This special issue of Mosaic celebrates the journal's 50th anniversary and gathers together a number of papers and events presented at a symposium to mark that occasion. The symposium, titled Living On, was initiated by Dawne McCance and held at the University of Manitoba on March 9-11, 2017. The theme and title come from Jacques Derrida's "Living On: Borderlines" (1979) and were to acknowledge a range of issues including the journal's interdisciplinary mandate, Mosaic's own recent conference on lifedeath (48.1-48.4), and the increasingly fraught and troubled times that we all face. More pragmatically still, Living On was to point to the journal's next half-century and its life under a new editor in the wake of McCance's seventeen years at the helm. Finally, Living On was to showcase the critical work of select participants from a diverse set of fields from which Mosaic welcomes contributions.
Special Issue: Scale
Within the biological-ecological sciences from which the term Anthropocene emerged, "scale" has a longer history and broader usage than it does within the now-proliferating philosophical, critical, theoretical, and ethical discourses that address environmentalism, climate change, and the Anthropocene's status as a sixth major extinction event. For the latter discourses, scale often refers to something "bigger" than we have ever previously encountered: climate change, for instance, as a crisis unprecedented in its scope and in the reorientation, or "reinvention," of critical protocols that it is said to require. Given the unrelenting scale of such issues as climate change and of factors contributing to it, e.g., the shift from small-scale family farming to massive global-marketing industrial operations, must theory, too, as some suggest, undergo a transition from local and individual to global perspectives? In what might a global imaginary consist, and how might it relate to existing critiques of globalization as but a label for the hegemony of Western culture? Are broader understandings of scale available from within the ecological sciences and, if so, how might these serve as resources for the "greening of theory"?
With topics ranging from the origins of Romantic lyric, bibliotherapy, and the aging body in Marguerite Duras on to genre theory, the afflictions of Wallace Thurman, psychopomp in James Joyce, the manipulative gaze of war representation, and the ethics of film adaption, we encounter an acutely divergent set of topics. This "melancholy spectacle" of non-coherence—a description Paul de Man once used to characterize a collection of his own writings (viii)—demands thought.

In an era of academies and youth pathways, the fast bowler Trent Copeland is a throwback. His rise to the national squad came through the more traditional route of dominating at grade level and then starring in state cricket. His New South Wales debut came at the age of 23 and was all the more remarkable because four years prior he was a wicketkeeper-batsman. But the switch to bowling suited the tall Copeland, whose efforts with the St George club led to a stunning entry into state cricket in 2009-10. He finished his maiden first-class season with 35 victims at 17.57 in only five matches, and the 8 for 92 he claimed in his first innings of Sheffield Shield cricket was the second-best haul by a player on first-class debut for New South Wales.
The next summer he reached the 50-wicket milestone in his eighth game, the fourth-fastest to the mark in New South Wales history. Seam and swing, combined with the extra bounce from his 1.95 frame, make him a difficult man to face, and he was the joint highest wicket taker in the Shield in 2010-11 with 45 victims. Despite not having earned a Cricket Australia contract in 2011, he was named in the Test squad to tour Sri Lanka. A five-wicket haul in the tour match showed that his skills could translate to different conditions, and catapulted him into the Test XI for the first Test in Galle. He performed an important holding role in Australia's series win, going for only 2.1 an over, but faded from the selectors' thoughts thereafter. However, he remained a very consistent first-class performer, and was recruited by Northants as an overseas player for the 2013 season.
