Pardopsis punctatissima ist ein in Afrika vorkommender Schmetterling (Tagfalter) aus der Familie der Edelfalter (Nymphalidae).

Merkmale

Falter
Die Flügelspannweite der Falter beträgt 25 bis 30 Millimeter. Die Weibchen sind etwas größer als die Männchen. Bei beiden Geschlechtern haben die Flügel eine orangegelbe Grundfarbe. Der Apex der Vorderflügeloberseite sowie der Saum sind schwärzlich verdunkelt. Arttypisch ist eine ausgeprägte Zeichnung schwarzer Punkte über sämtliche Flügel, ähnlich einem Polka Dots-Muster. Im englischen Sprachgebrauch wird die Art deshalb auch als Polka Dot bezeichnet. Die schwarze Punktzeichnung scheint auf die Flügelunterseiten hindurch.

Raupe
Ausgewachsene Raupen haben eine grünliche Farbe und zeigen undeutliche Längsstreifen. Auf jedem Körpersegment befinden sich vier Dornen. Die auf dem ersten Körpersegment befindlichen langen Stacheln können unabhängig bewegt werden.

Ähnliche Arten
 Die Falter von Obeidia trigata und Zerenopis lepida zeigen ein ähnliches schwarzes Fleckenmuster auf orangegelbem Grund. Ihnen fehlt jedoch die schwarze Zeichnung an Apex und Saum.
 Ähnliche Falter innerhalb der sehr artenreichen Gattung Acraea, beispielsweise Acraea acrita, Acraea atolmis, Acraea aglaonice und Acraea neobule haben zumeist eine kräftig orange Grundfarbe. Bei allen diesen Acraea-Arten ist die schwarze Punktzeichnung weniger intensiv gestaltet als bei Pardopsis punctatissima.

Verbreitung und Lebensraum

Pardopsis punctatissima kommt im Osten Afrikas vor und ist auch auf Madagascar heimisch. Die Art besiedelt in erster Linie Wiesengebiete am Rande von Gewässern.

Lebensweise
Die Falter fliegen das ganze Jahr hindurch in mehreren Generationen. Am zahlreichsten treten sie von Oktober bis März auf. Sie saugen gerne an Blüten, um Nektar aufzunehmen. Als Entwicklungszeit liegen die folgenden Angaben vor: Ei – acht Tage, fünf Raupenstadien – 32 Tage,  Puppenruhe – 17 Tage. Die Raupen ernähren sich in erster Linie von den Blättern der zu den Veilchengewächsen (Violaceae) zählenden Hybanthus enneaespermus oder Hybanthus capensis.

Kick-Off The New Year With The Outback Bowl Parade In Ybor City
Local News Desk December 30, 2021 No Comments
TAMPA, FL. – Get ready for the Outback Bowl Parade in Historic Ybor City to kick off New Year's Eve!
This parade starts Friday, Dec. 31 at 5:30 p.m. and is the big celebration leading up to the Outback Bowl, which will be played at Raymond James Stadium, at 12 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 1. The parade will feature floats, cheerleaders, both teams, Mayor Jane Castor and Former Mayor Bob Buckhorn, and about fifteen marching bands from around the country.
The game will have the Penn State Nittany Lions facing off against the Arkansas Razorbacks in a culmination of a week of area events throughout the region, including Team Day at Busch Gardens and the Outback Bowl New Year's Eve Parade in Ybor City.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor will be riding in the parade alongside Former Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, who lives and breathes being a Penn State fan.
"I could not be more excited to have the Penn State Nittany Lions in town for the Outback Bowl," Former Mayor Buckhorn said. "As a Penn State grad and the father of a Penn State student, it warms my heart to see the blue and white all around Tampa. Go Penn State!"
"I'm a lot more neutral than Bob Buckhorn on this game, but there's nowhere better for a great matchup than Champa Bay," said Mayor Jane Castor.
Please note that coolers, glass containers, and open alcohol are not allowed on the streets. The parade begins at 5:30 p.m. on 7th Avenue with various street closures.
Hillsborough County is seeing a spike in COVID transmissions, so residents who are immunocompromised should avoid crowds. The CDC also recommends people consider wearing a face-covering in crowded outdoor settings where they are likely to come in close contact with people not fully vaccinated.

Hair Straightening is a revolutionary technique to smooth, straighten and shine curly or frizzy hair.
It's by far the best straightening technology we've seen - not only does your hair appear silky smooth and straight, it feels and behaves like straight hair.
The thermal system used by New Look is a two step process. First, a formula is applied to the hair. Then, the hair is straightened with a ceramic flat iron and a specially designed dryer. The formula reconditions the hair and restructures the cuticle so that it stays flat with brilliant gloss and shine - permanently.
Hair straightening is an intensive process which requires patience and skill - but the results speak for themselves!
If you are interested in Thermal Hair Straightening, please call 9245 4920 to book a FREE consultation.
Q. Is hair straightening really permanent?
A. Yes - once treated, your hair will stay silky smooth and perfectly straight. As new hair grows, you may wish to have this treated as well. To maintain a full head of straight hair, we recommend a small touch up every six months or so.
Q. My hair has been bleached. Can I still have it straightened?
A. Yes - The products that we use come in several formulas - one specially created for hair that has been bleached, tinted, highlighted or otherwise chemically treated.
Q. How long does the hair straightening process take?
A. Hair straightening is an intensive process, and one that requires some patience. However, everyone's hair is different and the length and amount of curl will determine the time required for straightening.
Q. How much does hair straightening cost?
A. The amount of time required for hair straightening, and therefore the cost, varies for each person depending on the length, thickness and condition of their hair, and also on the type of curl. Call us on 9245 4920 for your free consultation!

Oil painting depicting a moment from the life of the Savior is on display at the 11th International Art Competition.
SALT LAKE CITY — As a child growing up in New Zealand, Leroy Transfield loved to draw, but there was one problem. He couldn't get behind the paper. He couldn't see what was in back of his drawings.
"I guess I had it in me to be a sculptor," Transfield said with a laugh as he reflected on his early beginnings as a sculptor.
His first art pieces were Book of Mormon figures for his mom's seminary class in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Then as a university student, he entered a sculpture in the church's International Art Exhibit. He didn't get in that show, but now, 29 years later, his terra-cotta sculpture "Christ Healing," is on exhibit, along with 150 other beautiful, faith-filled art pieces, at the 11th International Art Competition on exhibit at the Church History Museum through Oct. 7.
"Christ Healing," a terra-cotta piece by Leroy Transfield, is pictured during a media preview for the 11th International Art Exhibition at the Church History Museum in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, March 12, 2019.
As Transfield, now living in Orem, reflected on that theme, he thought of how Christ healed the blind man. The ambiguous, loose modeled clay sculpture also represents how Christ can heal individuals personally.
The theme of "Meditations on Belief" also stirred childhood memories in artist Jacqui Larsen from Springville.
Growing up in Syracuse, New York, Larsen was inspired by church primary songs and hymns. Music was a large part of Sunday meetings and she wanted to incorporate the marriage of memory, music and testimony in her art work.
A detail of "The Children Sing: Syracuse, New York," a mixed-media piece by Jacqui Larsen, is pictured during a media preview for the 11th International Art Exhibition at the Church History Museum in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, March 12, 2019.
The topic of the competition also spoke to her personally and guided her in the process of creating her first full 3D work.
For Sarah Winegar of Springville, her relief reduction print "Come Unto Me" — completed her last semester at the University of Utah in 2017 — was a perfect fit for the competition.
Her linocut relief technique, was inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper." Christ is at the center of her art, but surrounding him are Winegar's family members.
The three works from Transfield, Larsen and Winegar were purchased by the museum. A total of 15 works were purchased to develop the Church History Museum's art collection.
Jean Richardson served as a judge at this 11th International Art Competition. This was her first year as a juror.
"Come Unto Me," a relief reduction print by Sarah Anne Winegar, is pictured during a media preview for the 11th International Art Exhibition at the Church History Museum in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, March 12, 2019.
What: 11th International Art Exhibition: "Meditations on Belief"
When: Through Oct. 7; Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-9 p.m. and Saturdays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Anthony Russell Wiki – Anthony Russell Biography
Anthony Russell was being sought after a mother and son were killed in Coventry and a woman was found dead on grassland in Leamington Spa.
Julie, 58, and David Williams, 32, were found at separate flats in the city on consecutive days earlier in the week.
The third victim, 31-year-old Nichola McGregor from Leamington, was found on Thursday.
Russell is 38 years old.
Anthony Russell Arrested
Anthony Russell was arrested by police in the early hours of this morning in connection with the three deaths.
Today, Nichola's twin, Adam McGregor, wrote: 'Words can't even express how I'm feeling at the minute. For the first time in my life, I'm afraid of being alone more than ever. Fly high darling twin. RIP twinnie look and watch over us all. Until we meet again.'
Miss McGregor, also known as Nicole, was previously on the run from police herself after she failed to appear in court for possessing a knife.
She had been wanted by British Transport Police after being charged with possession of an offensive weapon and fare evasion in July 2019.

Mr. Russell was found in a car parked in Staffordshire at about 04:00 GMT, West Midlands Police said.
The red Ford C-Max car, which police said was stolen in a "car-jacking" in Leamington on Wednesday, was found in a lane in the village of Rolleston-on-Dove, near Burton upon Trent.
Mr. Russell is also being held on suspicion of stealing the car.
Julie Williams and David Williams Murder
Julie Williams, 58, was found murdered just before 11 pm on Sunday after concerns were raised about her welfare.
Her 32-year-old son David was reported missing the day before and was found dead at around 11.30 pm on Tuesday.
Two days later, police discovered the body of Miss McGregor.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Payne said today: 'The deaths of three people in the Midlands region this week have been shocking and devastating for the families involved.
'Our thoughts remain with them as they come to terms with the tragic circumstances of their deaths.
'We are grateful to everyone who has assisted with our appeals for information, but although we have a suspect in custody, our investigation must now establish exactly what has happened.'
The 'extremely dangerous' suspect had last been caught on camera three days ago in the posh town of Leamington Spa.
Detectives had urged anyone who knows of the whereabouts to dial 999 immediately.
Speaking about the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Detective Inspector Jim Mahon, from West Midlands Police homicide team, said: 'These deaths are very sad and my thoughts are with David and Julie's family at this difficult time.
'Our investigation continues at a significant pace but we need to find Russell as soon as possible.
'I'm urging anyone with information about where he is to get in touch with us straight away.'

What the team at HEC Montreal has developed with their business simulation is truly unique and groundbreaking. They have solved numerous technical challenges to be able to use SAP, a real business process software system, as a business simulation tool. The design of this simulation, from the behavior of the consumer market to the use of the Business Warehouse system for data analysis, is well thought out. It took a team with unique capabilities to put this together.
I have studied many ERP cases developed using SAP with hope to find one that would give students a good overview of an ERP integrated environment without losing them in tedious clerical procedures. I did not have any success until I attended your ERP Simulation Game workshop. In my opinion, it is the most flexible, practical, exciting, and challenging SAP ERP case that I have studied in the past three years. It is flexible enough to be used for many different types of classes in both undergraduate and graduate level as well as for corporate training. It is practical and exciting as the game gives a very realistic real world like working environment.

Huge December Payrolls Miss: 140,000 Jobs Lost, Worst Month Since April
Posted by Matthew Burke | Jan 8, 2021 | Posted Links 3, The Liberty Daily | 0 |
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/huge-december-payrolls-miss-140000-jobs-lost-worst-month-april
As previewed earlier when we said "December Payrolls Preview: Brace For A Very Ugly Number", as a result of the second wave of covid shutdowns economists expected a sharp slowdown in December job growth in the U.S., with more than a quarter of those surveyed – including Goldman – predicting a negative print. Yet as Bloomberg notes, while the data is "almost certain to show an ongoing loss of labor-market momentum — indeed, it could reveal outright job losses — one could argue that it's already outdated." After all, a fresh stimulus package was passed towards the end of last month, and there is every chance of a further one in the months to come. Moreover, the prospect of vaccine-related normalization still hovers in the future, even if the current reality of the pandemic looks fairly grim. Finally, with this the last payroll month under the Trump admin, it is hardly a secret that the BLS would look to have a kitchen sink month where the upward "government massaged data" over the past 4 years catches down to reality.
With all that in mind, it was still a surprise just how ugly the December print was, with the BLS reporting that a whopping 140K jobs were lost last month, the first monthly job loss since April's record drop…
… on consensus expectations of a 50K print (although Goldman's -50K forecast was close), resulting in a 190,000 miss to expectations. The -140K print was worse than all but three of 66 forecasts in the Bloomberg survey.
Employment declines were concentrated in leisure and hospitality, private education, and government were partially offset by gains in professional and business services, retail trade, construction, and transportation and warehousing. Also due to the harsh weather in December, workers unable to work due to bad weather was 111K.
It appears that the post-covid recovery is stalling about halfway on the way up to the pre-covid record highs.
In terms of prior month revisions, the change in total payrolls for October was revised up by 44,000, from +610,000 to +654,000, and the change for November was revised up by 91,000, from +245,000 to +336,000. With these revisions, employment in October
and November combined was 135,000 more than previously reported, although that number is largely irrelevant as a result of the late-year lockdowns.
Notably, the job losses were almost entirely concentrated in leisure and hospitality. The sector saw employment decline by 498,000 last month. Three-quarters of the decrease came from food services and drinking places (-372,000). Employment also fell in the amusements, gambling, and recreation industry (-92,000) and in the accommodation industry (-24,000). Since February, employment in leisure and hospitality is down by 3.9 million, or 23.2 percent.
That said, while the Establishment survey was ugly, the Household survey showed a slightly better picture, with the number of employed actually rising by 21K from 149,809K to 149,830K while the number of unemployed was virtually unchanged at 10.7 million.
The unemployment rate was unchanged at 6.7%, on expectations of an increase to 6.8%. Of note: Hispanic Americans saw the biggest monthly increase in unemployment, the rate rising from 8.4% to 9.3%. At the same time, the participation for Black, Hispanic and Asian Americans also declined, while it rose slightly for White workers.
The labor force participation rate was unchanged at 61.5%.
Average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls increased by 23 cents to $29.81, while average hourly earnings of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees increased by 20 cents to $25.09. On a Y/Y basis, average hourly earnings increased by 5.1%, up from 4.4% and better than the 4.5% expected, which however was likely due to lower-income jobs being lost.
The average workweek for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls declined by 0.1 hour to 34.7 hours in December. In manufacturing, the workweek was unchanged at 40.2 hours, and overtime increased by 0.1 hour to 3.3 hours. The average workweek for production and nonsupervisory employees on private nonfarm payrolls was unchanged at 34.2 hours.
A closer look at which industries were affected most in December:
Employment in leisure and hospitality declined by 498,000, with three- quarters of the decrease in food services and drinking places (-372,000). Employment also fell in the amusements, gambling, and recreation industry (-92,000) and in the accommodation industry (-24,000). Since February, employment in leisure and hospitality is down by 3.9 million, or 23.2 percent.
Employment in private education decreased by 63,000. Employment in the industry is down by 450,000 since February.
Government employment declined by 45,000. Employment in the component of local government that excludes education declined by 32,000, and state government education lost 20,000 jobs. Federal government employment increased by 6,000.
Other services lost 22,000 jobs, with over half of the loss in personal and laundry services (-12,000).
Employment in professional and business services increased by 161,000, with a large gain in temporary help services (+68,000). Job growth also occurred in computer systems design and related services (+20,000), other professional and technical services (+11,000), management of companies and enterprises (+11,000), and business support services (+7,000).
Retail trade added 121,000 jobs, with nearly half of the growth occurring in the component of general merchandise stores that includes warehouse clubs and supercenters (+59,000). Job gains also occurred in nonstore retailers (+14,000), automobile dealers (+13,000), health and personal care stores (+10,000), and food and beverage stores (+8,000).
Construction added 51,000 jobs, but employment in the industry is 226,000 below its February level. In December, employment rose in residential specialty trade contractors (+14,000) and residential building (+9,000), two industries that have gained back the jobs lost in March and April. In December, employment also increased in nonresidential specialty trade contractors (+18,000) and in heavy and civil engineering construction (+15,000).
Employment in transportation and warehousing rose by 47,000, largely in couriers and messengers (+37,000). While employment in transportation and warehousing overall is 89,000 lower than in February, employment in couriers and messengers has increased by 222,000 over the same period. In December, employment also grew in warehousing and storage (+8,000) and in truck transportation (+7,000), while transit and ground passenger transportation lost 9,000 jobs.
Health care added 39,000 jobs. Employment growth in hospitals (+32,000) and ambulatory health care services (+21,000) was partially offset by declines in nursing care facilities (-6,000) and community care facilities for the elderly (-5,000). Health care employment is 502,000 lower than in February.
Manufacturing employment increased by 38,000, with gains in motor vehicles and parts (+7,000), plastics and rubber products (+7,000), and nonmetallic mineral products (+6,000). By contrast, miscellaneous nondurable goods manufacturing lost 11,000 jobs over the month.
Wholesale trade employment rose by 25,000 but is down by 251,000 since February. In December, job gains occurred in durable goods (+11,000) and nondurable goods (+11,000).
In retrospect, none of this will matter, because as noted up top, what matter is what happens next and how big the stimulus will be: as Bloomberg's Jeffrey Rosenberg said, "We're looking past the near-term weakness towards the policy response, and that means better growth, and higher rates" for Treasuries. "I don't think this report is going to take us off that trend."
And once again for the cheap seats, in case it is still unclear why this dismal number is ugly: as Bloomberg concludes, "for any economists who haven't yet made a forecast for the size of the Covid-19 relief package that's expected after the Biden administration takes office, this is likely to expand their estimate." So… $3 trillion… or $5 trillion… or $10 trillion… and will Bitcoin be $1 million next?

It's probably safe to say that most communities of Kentucky were affected in some way by the tragedy of America's involvement in the Vietnam War, an era generally considered stretching from 1962-1975. The Kentucky Vietnam Veterans Memorial website reports that 1,108 Kentuckians were among the approximately 58,000 Americans who died in the conflict. There were also thousands who were wounded in action and hundreds are still listed as missing in action (MIA).
For the townsfolk of Bardstown, with a population of only about five to six thousand in those years, and along with the surrounding environs, it was an extraordinary hit, one that touched most citizens in some way. Through the course of the war, at least 16 were killed, and in one enemy attack, on June 19, 1969, five from the area died and another passed a week later from injuries. One was killed a week before the battle.
I recently read The Sons of Bardstown: 25 Years of Vietnam in an American Town, published in 1994 and authored by Jim Wilson. The book makes a strong effort to portray the significance of the effect Vietnam had on the Bardstown community, and I believe it was largely successful. After reading and quickly gaining interest, I corresponded with Don Parrish, a Bardstown survivor of the fateful night of the attack, and Gilly Simpson, whose father was part of the unit but was on emergency leave at the time. I also contacted former WHAS (Louisville) television journalist Rachel Platt. In 1995, she traveled to the attack site in Vietnam and reported, along with Bardstown veterans who served there, about their experiences returning to the place where so much pain intruded into their lives and families. Years later, Rachel additionally wrote an insightful article in Kentucky Living in 2019, recalling the "Band of Brothers" of the Bardstown area.
I also watched the 1989 CBS-TV "On the Road with Charles Kuralt" episode featuring the story, along with John Coulter and Gilly Simpson's (and others) recently released (2019) stirring documentary, Firebase Tomahawk.
For sure, there is a compelling historical, military narrative in these parts usually most known for its beautiful downtown and amazing bourbon economy. Some five decades after Vietnam, the local carnage still brings difficult reflections to many in their daily lives.
Firebase Tomahawk was the military site in Vietnam where National Guard soldiers from Bardstown's C Battery, 2nd Battalion, 138th Field Artillery landed in service to support the 101st Airborne. Their deployment happened only a bit longer than a year from when the unit was unexpectedly called to active service; until that point, it had been unusual for the National Guard to serve outside US borders in war. And according to a 2009 article in Bardstown's newspaper, The Kentucky Standard, only 12 of 117 in C Battery were from outside Nelson County.
Specialist E-5 Don Parrish, raised in Bardstown, was chief of Fire Direction Center at Firehouse Tomahawk on a fateful morning when the North Vietnamese Army attacked under cover of heavy rain. Despite the loss of members of the unit on that day and one later in the week, Don praised the unit's overall performance. "Charlie Battery did its job extremely well, resulting in everyone needing our support would contact us if they were within ten miles of our location, as that were our maximum range. We had six self-propelled 155 mm howitzers and were able to bring major devastation upon the enemy."

But on the early morning of June 19th, shortly before 2:00 a.m., Charlie Battery was sorely in need of help for themselves when they were engaged by a surprise enemy attack. A large number of North Vietnamese soldiers, buoyed by their own heavy artillery support and the torrential rain, invaded the American firebase by crawling through small openings in the barbed wire fence barriers. Ironically, many of the invaders removed their clothing in order not to be snagged and slowed down. They were armed with satchel charges or small packages of TNT that would explode as they were tossed. Rachel Platt, in her Kentucky Living article, reported that in the early morning of the intrusion, the satchel charge explosions provided the only light, and quoted Don Parrish as recalling: "It was utter chaos. It was completely dark, like the inside of a cow, no moon or stars."
With counter fire from the American 101st, the attack was over about 5 a.m. Though the Vietnamese army incurred more casualties, it was a severe blow to the Americans, with nine artillerymen dying and 44 injured. Bardstown's aforementioned five National Guardsmen were part of the nine who died, and another died less than a week later with severe burns. Those and others involved in the Vietnamese Conflict from the Nelson County area would become known as "The Sons of Bardstown."
Today, it is often a time of reflection of the sad time in Bardstown's past, but also a time of dealing with it in a positive way. Gilly Simpson, son of Mike Simpson, a Battery C soldier, wondered what would have happened if his father had not been called back to the United States on emergency leave to be with Mike's father while he battled cancer. Mike Simpson was not on the base when it was attacked. "David Collins, who was on the same gun as Dad, was killed," said Gilly. "It was an eye-opening experience to learn that as a teenager, as the realization hit me that had just one of a number of circumstances gone even slightly differently, I might never have been born."
To Don Parrish, the experience of his military experience and Firebase Tomahawk is seldom free from his mind. "Not a day has gone by in the last fifty-plus years that I have not had at least a fleeting thought of the history we were part of, and many others are the same," he said.
Both Gilly and Don talked about the positive way the community has treated the veterans. "Bardstown was the antithesis of the rest of the country when it came to the treatment of the men when they returned home," said Gilly. "They were greeted at the airport by several thousand people in the middle of the night."

More recently, another touching outpouring of appreciation occurred, noted Don. "About four years ago, I contacted a gentleman in Louisville with Honor Flight (a program that arranges veteran air trips to Washington, D.C. memorials) and asked if it would be possible for our battery to be included on one of their flights. He said he had never heard of anything like this ever taking place. He re-contacted me several months later and said there is no record of such a thing ever happening in the Honor Flight program in the country, but that we would be the first.
"We had to launch a fund-raising effort to finance this trip to Washington and we raised about $50,000 from our community with gifts running from individuals at five dollars to one business with $5,000 and many in between. The project was a success and we had about 45 guys with guardians travel to D.C. for the day. Unfortunately, it rained the entire day, but the trip was a success. Our community has responded quite well to our involvement and we are proud of this fact."
Kelli Oakley, Honor Flight Bluegrass board secretary, was a huge part of the endeavor. "As with all Honor Flights, we feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to escort WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans to Washington, DC . . .and, we are grateful to see the healing that takes place with so many veterans," said Kelli. "This was the first time we have had the opportunity to take a unit, and they were truly a 'band of brothers.' The weather was not the best, but there was never a negative word from these gentlemen because they had been through a whole lot worse than rainy weather. There were tears and smile throughout the day, and the best part was to see their expressions at our "Welcome Home," and they were definitely tears of joy."
Rachel Platt's Vietnam reporting on the Sons of Bardstown was especially authentic, as her father served his country in Vietnam, though he wasn't able to make the 1995 trip because of health issues. "So these men took his place and we became fast friends because our frame of reference with Vietnam came with connectedness. They were completely open with us in every aspect of the trip; we were joined at the hip, but there was also healthy respect that came with it. When they no longer wanted the cameras running, we turned them off to give them personal space, as well. The trip was about healing for them, and we wanted to make sure they got that. When we visited the site where they lost so many friends, we videotaped most of it, but then we shut our cameras off and moved away so they could have their private time. I am a reporter, but you have to recognize the humanity in every story, and we did that with these veterans who needed their space in that moment."

The journalist sees the need to keep recognizing their sacrifice going forward. "I think the recognition of what happened is kept alive by those veterans and the families and the families of Battery C, who lost so much, and gave so much," she said. "I certainly hope that recognition will continue long after we're gone. History matters because it teaches us to be diligent and vigilant about the future. I also think programs supporting veterans are essential. Many veterans will struggle, and we owe them help and continual support."

Кејша М. Кол (, познатија као Кејша ; Оукланд, 15. октобар 1981) америчка је певачица, текстописац, глумица, музички продуцент и телевизијска личност. Рођена је у Оукланду у Калифорнији, а каријеру је започела када је упознала Емси Хамера у доби од дванаест година, а након тога и репера Тупака. Када је имала петнаест година преселила се у Лос Анђелес и потписала уговор са издавачком кућом -{A&M Records}-. Након тога објавила је албум под називом -{The Way It Is}- (2005), који садржи пет синглова: Never, I Changed My Mind, (I Just Want It) To Be Over, I Should Have Cheated и Love. Албуму је додељен златни сертификат након седамнаест недеља, а након тога и платинасти, осам недеља касније. Албум се налазио на музичким листама годину дана након објављивања, а продат је у 1,6 милиона примерака.

Након што је раскинула уговор са компанијом -{A&M}-, Кејша је објавила други студијски албум под називоом -{Just Like You}- (2007) под окриљем издавачке куће -{Geffen Records}-, а албум је дебитовао на другом месту листе Билборд 200. Номинован је за најбољи савремени ритам и блуз албум на 50. додели Грема награде. -{Just Like You}- је добио платинасти сертификат од стране Америчког удружења дискографских кућа, а продат је у 1,7 милиона примерака у Сједињеним Америчким Државама. -{A Different Me}- трећи је студијски албум Кејше Кол и објављен је 2018. године. Албум је дебитовао на другом месту музичког графикона Билборд 200, продат је у 322.000 примерака током прве недеље од објављивања, а додељен му је платинасти сертификат од стране Америчког удружења дискографских кућа.

-{Calling All Hearts}- певачицин четврти студијски албум, објављен је 21. децембра 2010. године у Сједињеним Државама. Албум је дебитовао на деветом месту листе Билборд 200, а продат је у 400.000 примерака у Сједињеним Државама до новембра 2012. године. Пети студијски албум, под називом -{Woman to Woman}-, Кејша је објавила 2012. године и он је дебитовао на десетом месту листе Билборд 200, а током прве недеље од објављивања продат је у 96.000 примерака, значајно мање него њена претходна издања. До септембра 2013. године, албум је продат у 329.000 примерака.  Након раскидања уговора са компанијом -{Geffen Records}-, Кејша је шести студијски албум -{Point of No Return}- објавила 7. октобра 2014. године под окриљем издавачке куће -{Interscope Records}-, а он није био комерцијално успешан, продат је у мање од 45.000 примерака и био је најнеуспешнији албум певачице.

Упоредо са бављењем музике, Кејша је почела да се појављује и на телевизији. Појавила се у ријалити-документарној серији Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is која се емитовала на БЕТ каналу од 2006. до 2008. године, где је приказана  каријера, породица и њен живот са мајком и сестром.

Биографија

Кејша Кол рођена је 15. октобра 1981. године у Оукланду, Калифорнија, ћерка је Франсинс Лонс и боксерског тренера Виргила Хантера. Кол и њен отац упознали су се први пут 2016. године, када су преко анализа крви утврђивали да ли су у сродству. Певачицу су када је имала две године усвојили породични пријатељи Леон и Ивон Кол и променили јој презиме у Кол. Са својих дванаест година, она је представљена у музичкој индустрији, заједно са братом Сеном, који је познат и као Нат-Со , а након тога Кејша је упознала Емси Хамера. Након тога, Кејша се спријатељила са Тупаком Шакуром који јој је обећао да ће јој помоћи да започне певачу каријеру, тражећи од ње да се виде на његовом надолазећем пројекту, на дан његове смрти. Када је имала шеснаест година, Кол је постала део локалне омладинске организације у источном Оукладну. Када је имала осамнаест година, певачица се преселила у Лос Анђелес, како би наставила музичку каријеру. Током тог периода Кол је сарађивала са музичарима као што су Бај Ареа, Тони Тони Тон и Меси Марв. Године 2002. потписала је уговор са компанијом -{A&M Records}- коју је држао Рон Фер. Након преслушавања незавршене верзије њеног сингла Love, примили су је у издавачку кућу, а сингл је касније добио платинасти сертификат од стране Америчког удружења дискографских кућа.

Дебитански сингл Never, певачица Кол снимила је у сарадњи са Ив, а он је објављен 23. марта 2004. године, како би промовисала аудио запис филма Берберница 2: Повратак у бизнис.

2010—2013: Нови албуми и комерцијални успех

Дана 27. јуна 2010. године Колова се вратила у музичку индустрију и извела песму Airplanes заједно са Хејли Вилијамс, B.o.Bом и Еминемом на додели Бет награда 2010. године. Више од годину дана након што је Кол најавила објављивање четвртог студијског албума, она је објавила први албумски сингл I Ain't Thru 15. октобра 2010. године. Иако песма није доживела значајан комерцијални успех, касније је откривено да су фанови Колове волели тај сингл и доживљавали га као сјајан повратак на сцену. Њен четврти студијски албум -{Calling All Hearts}- објављен је 21. децембра 2010. године, а на њему су учествовали Тимбаланд, Ники Минаж, Танк и Фејт Еванс. У стварању албума Колове учествовала је и њена мајка, Ивон Кол. Албум је продат у више од 500.000 примерака у Сједињеним Државама. Промотивни сингл Long Way Down Кејша је извела у емисији Tonight Show with Jay Leno као и у 106 & Park где је имала тридесетоминутни концерт. У фебруару 2011. године Колова је објавиа трећи сингл под називом Take Me Away. У шоу Конан, 19. јануара 2011. године, Колова је сингл представила и уживо, а спот за песму овјављен је на ВЕВО канало премијерно 18. априла 2011. године. Песма је била на Билбордовој листи  -{Hot R&B/Hip-Hop}-, на двадесет и седмом месту.

Колова је започела рад на петом студијском албуму убрзо након објављивања албума -{Calling All Hearts}-. Започела је снимање радећи са музичаркама Естер Дин и Бети Врајг.

Умешност и други подухвати

у јулу 2006. године Колова је објавила свој документарни филм под називом Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is, а на њему се налазе видео записи њеног приватног живота, наступи и аудио снимци. Након тога, удружила се са модним дизајнером Стивом Мејденом како би створила властиту колецију ципела. Колове вокалне способности су сопрано. Њен глас описан је као флексибилан, те да има могућћност стварања тврдог хип хопа. У својим текстовима углавном се бави темом љубави. Певачицин пети студијски албум -{Woman to Woman}- (2012) Бен Ратлиф у дневном листу Њујорк тајмс описао је као алманах ритам и блуза, дрхтаве романтике, при чему је готово свака песма као приповетка првог лица са грубим детаљима, где се бескрајно комбинује сумња, љубомора, понос, казна, самопоштовање и вођство.  Текстови песама на том албуму углавном се баве романтиком и емотивним темама.

Колова је одрасла слушајући свог ментора Тупака Шакура. Као једну од највећих инспирација навела је Мери Џеј Блајџ, али и певачице Бренди и Монику. У једном интервјуу Колова је говорила о музичарима из осамдесетих година, истакла је Аниту Бејкер, Биг Дејди Кејна, ЛЛ Кул Џеја једног од пионира хип хоп музике, Емси Лајт и Квин Латифах.

If single you will decide you want to keep it light and flirty and there may be more than one romantic connection.
You are to begin a spiritual journey, possibly along the lines of something you did many years ago, this will help you to be creative and motivated in a way you may not have been for some time. Dare to try that which you fear.

Something you have waited a long time for has finally come to fruition, but not in the way you expected, you can now relax in a way you haven't been able to for a long time.

You're going through a growth spurt which will lead to an awakening, you will no longer be living the ordinary life in the ordinary way, expect some life altering and fulfilling changes to be taking place for you.
Your philosophy is to do what you love and love what you do, you may not have been living this, and now is the time for some major life adjustments. The business idea you have had for a long time will be something to focus energy on, it's never too late try something new. Big, positive shifts on the home front to come.

If your love life has been slow, or non-existent, be prepared that is about to change, embrace the fire and intensity that is to be showered upon you. There is vitality aplenty, work with the planetary energies and shine like you know you can.
This month it is especially important for you to stop and recharge your batteries, give yourself some much needed down time. Also stop being so harsh on yourself regarding past mistakes, this game of life is not easy, we all do the best we can with the hand that has been dealt.
You do have power, however this month it will be hidden, don't worry it has gone for good, it's just in hibernation mode, this will be a good default setting for you this month. If you find it difficult to move forward, focus on your home, make it as comfortable and appealing as you possibly can. It is most important for you to have a haven, especially the bedroom, where you need to have a colour you love on your bed, nice night attire and scented candle. This room is to be your retreat from the world, a place where you can dream and daydream.
Regarding relationships, you and your partner will be working together to form a closer bond, there will also be some experimentation in the bedroom, dare to try something new. If single, prepare to meet an electrifying energy.
This month it is important for you to maintain a physical and emotional balance, make sure you have important time alone, this is an absolute necessity for you, don't let others encroach on this time. Let your spiritual understanding guide you and if you are feeling tired, slow your pace, you will still get things done, just not as fast as usual.
You will be looking at your diet and rethinking your approach to food, a relative will encourage you and decide to do the same thing. There will be an entirely new way of shopping and cooking, this will do wonders for your health. Natural foods will agree with you.
Someone who is going through an illness will need you, be there for this person, at the same time create a space for you, in this space be still and quiet, let your mind float, it will be therapeutic for you. A massage wouldn't go astray either, if you can organise it, especially if the therapist can come to your home, which is your sanctuary.
There some big changes to take place in your life, some welcomed, some not, embrace that which is welcome and work with that which is not in your usual pragmatic fashion. Speaking of fashion, you are to undergo a makeover, you feel like presenting yourself to the world in an entirely different way. Inwardly you have been going through major changes and you want to reflect this outwardly.
In your love life you require someone in a similar mental space to you, being an eccentric, you want a likeminded person, someone will enter your life in a most unusual manner and will complement you. A change of location may come with this, a new residence or possibly a move to another state or country.
Entering in to a new business venture is always a big step, however you may have been thinking about something for a long time and now you know the timing is right. Try not to burn the candle at both ends, especially if you are caring for a sick relative, get as much rest as you can.
There may have been a rift regarding family that you have tried to understand, the reality is that the family you were born into may not be the family that you are in tune with, once you come to terms with this life will flow more easily for you. Consider your place in the world and what you want out of life, plan for the biggest dream you can dream. Expect the unexpected.
Some years ago you made a decision that changed the course of your life and you have been struggling with this decision ever since. There is to be an opportunity for a do over and this time you will make a decision that works for you, this will take place once you realise the lessons you have to learn.
Be aware when sharing personal information with another person that this person is discreet, you are a very private person and keep your cards very close to the chest, this has actually worked for you in your life, you have always chosen carefully those with whom you share information. Be open to love and to feeling vulnerable in love.

stoel           1300512    3252
blender         1400148    2917

I want to multiply 3500 of df1 with 9687 of df2 and append the value in df2 on the spot of the #.
a code like this:
df2$kosten[springtouw,] <- df1$tariff springtouw[5,3] * df2$pallets[3,2]
Possible output
output
df2
            Som_Product pallets kosten
duikscooter      379312   37932
yoga              75651     226
springtouw      1162413    9687 33904500
stoel           1300512    3252
blender         1400148    2917

A: The rhs should be a row/column index or attribute and as we are extracting the column as a vector, it doesn't have row/column attribute i.e. it is just a 1 dimensional vector which can be indexed with a single integer value to extract that element at the position specified by index
df2['springtouw', 'kosten'] <- df1$`tariff springtouw`[5] * df2$pallets[3]

-output
df2
#            Som_Product pallets   kosten

Kathryn Bigelow, VS 2017
language: english – subtitles: dutch
This film tells the gripping story of one of the darkest moments during the civil unrest that rocked Detroit in the summer of '67.
Detroit is the latest film by renowned Oscar winner Kathryn Bigelow (Zero Dark Thirty, The Hurt Locker). In line with her earlier work, Detroit is an impressive film based on true events. The film is set during the by racial inequality driven '12th Street Riots' that held Detroit in its grip in the summer of 1967. During one of the biggest and most deadly civil unrests of American history, 43 people died, 189 were wounded and no less than 7200 were arrested.
The film focuses on one incident that happened during the riots at the Algiers Motel. Three African American civilians are killed by (white) police officers of the city of Detroit, the national police and three member of the National Guard. Star Wars actor John Boyega portrays the Afro-American surveillance guard Melvin Dismukes. He becomes entangled in the incident and seems completely powerless when he is accused of the murder by the white officers.

Disney v VidAngel Trial – Verdict
June 17, 2019 TrialNeal Harmon
The final verdict is:
Willfully infringed? Yes
Copyright Award: $75,000 per work
819 * $75,000 = $61,425,000
DMCA Award: $1,250
819 * $1,250 = $1,023,750
We find today's ruling unfortunate, but it has not lessened our resolve to save filtering for families. VidAngel plans to appeal the District Court ruling, and explore options in the bankruptcy court. Our court system has checks and balances, and we are pursing options on that front as well.

Guess we need to fight to Supreme Court.
Does VidAngel Chapter 11 protect them from this $62 million judgement?
AaronMC says:
It won't protect them from owing money. If the judge decides they have a decent chance of paying it back, he will setup payments over time.
That is the way I understand it.
Hope they can appeal to Supreme Court!
Are they going out of business ?
$62 million payback on payment plan. I doubt very much VidAngel even makes this kind money. Also I thought I read their Chapter 11 filing is based on their new streaming model not the disc based model this $62 million dollar judgement is based on. Either way a slap and a kick to VidAngel and it's supporters.
I would love a favorable ruling at the supreme court, but the copyright precedent thus far isn't very helpful to their case. These exact facts haven't yet played out in a supreme court copyright decision, but similar cases in which the defending party uses technical "work-arounds" with the effect of redistributing have been tried, and the supreme court tends to find the defendant liable for infringement. The only interesting part of this case to me was the mention of "secret anti-competitive agreements" between directors and the studios. That hasn't been brought up in a while. There must have not been any teeth to it.
This is a dark day for the American people. They have ceded rights of viewership to the directors' guild and large studios.
Wow, talk about corruption at its finest. I don't see how it's remotely logically that the jury could find VidAngel guilty of willful infringement. I really hope that VidAngel keeps up the fight because there's no way they can pay a 62 million dollar fine and stay in business.
Exactly. How could it be willful. VidAngel knocked on Disney's door told them their plans and Disney said nothing… waited for VidAngel to gain some traaction and then sued. I believe VidAngel did what they thought was legal. They hired counsel for advice from what I understand before they went down the road. This is a very sad day for people that care about filtering.
VidAngel did write Disney, but its how they streamed and filtered/altered it that got them in hot water. The original Youtube extension similar to ClearPlays current form on AMazon i though was legal but youtube/google shut it down (that was a cool one cus it allowed customers to assist on filtering), the whole DVD rip format obviously fishy not to mention renting out new release films for $1/24 hrs while it was great didnt help their case either. Im more concerned with their current format, it seems like the more legal one but also still has that cut paste feel since its still running on their system using their features. no restart on movies a basic feature, u cant skip Recaps when they pop-up on screen and probably most important for hard of hearing no CC which is basic on all stream services if it was truly linking services all of this should be included, but since its more cut and paste they have to do it all their selves. at least thats how it looks for me.
Kimberly Fawn says:
I hope VidAngel can find a way to survive this. I love this service and I can't stand the thought of Disney and Hollywood thinking they can just shove whatever they want down my throat and make me like it.
Alex IRIZARRY says:
What is going to be the plan after this?
Ava Carson says:
Will Vidangel still continue to filter movies through Amazon, HBO, and Netflix?
Keep fighting the good fight. I'm sure you're feeling tired and discouraged. Just do your best and know that people are rooting for you.
In the darkness of recent events we need a new video put together that includes Matt Meese.
If they continue on after this, Vidangel just needs to use a browser plugin to filter like ClearPlay, that way, there no issues with streaming licenses, etc. Vidangel actually start out using a browser plugin, and if they would have stayed with it, they would have been fine. It wasn't the filtering that was the issue, but the unauthorized streaming and copying…
VidAngel did try browser plugin and that was shutdown. Check out this video.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9TZRTkRgAFc
Also I'm personally not interested in browser filtering. Is that the best the future will hold if VidAngel is no more? I sure hope not.

Steve Reed says:
I use the Clearplay browser plugin as well and they have been very smart through this whole thing. I used their DVD players for years and loved the service. The browser plugin was a great idea but you have to run movies off your laptop and HDMI into a TV or use apple play to mirror your screen. It's pretty amazing technology.
VidAngel deserves huge props for really taking the idea of streaming to the world. They weren't the first but they made a huge impact and them going to fight this in court is going to have an impact.
They won't kill streaming. VidAngel has done it the best and there will be others to fill any vacuum. The one thing that VidAngel is right about, in my opinion, is that the protections for filtering streaming content should be updated.
I used Clearplay's Bluray player for years but got tired of it skipping way too much and freezing for every filter. While their streaming was better tagged not nearly as good as Vidangel on allot of fronts: Mirroring losses quality and i found running HDMI cord on my laptop with their filters was still choppy some. i gave up on Clearplay they were at the forefront of filtering sad that after 20+ years they still are an insect compared to VidAngel even with all the legal battles VidAngel is going through. Im curious about 1 thing whats the "819" in regards to?
819 are the titles that Disney et al claim are theirs.
The VUDU thing with ClearPlay was encouraging until I tried to use it ten days ago and I realized they had 22 titles for 6 months and I ran into all kinds of problems trying to get it to work. They announced a few more titles the day after our verdict. Great timing.
I hope you're right Steve and ClearPlay makes it but I'm not holding my breath.
Joseph Campbell says:
This is definitely unfortunate!
Praying!! We love VidAngel so much and are so sad to hear this news. Keep up the good fight, VidAngel!
I just heard about this service because of the news and didn't know about it. Seems like the most useful product/service – exactly what I was looking for. Hope you can continue to offer this service.
May the Force be with you Neal Harmon and team to fight this terrible decision. What you are offering is like cold water in hell – is a great worthy cause. Hats off to you for doing it!!!
Have you considered raising mass support thru' a Kickstarter or similar campaign ? Have you considered a signing petition drive to elected reps to remind them of their moral responsibility to clean content that seems to be getting worse by the day. Have you considered raising some venture capital or social media campaigns to fight these big labels? Surely, there should be lots of good people who would be thirsting for this kind of service.
Hi Rob, welcome to VidAngel… really the only option to filter on modern devices. yep cold water in He** says it all. Also VidAngel let's you choose to the detail what to filter nothing else does this.
VidAngel did raise over $10 million to fight this thing. I think we need another one or if someone really rich can offer up $62 million. 🙂
Also a bill was introduced by Mia Love but it never made it through before the deadline.
Mark Wilson says:
I am disaffected with Disney. They have changed from what Walt originally advocated. I have started making conscious decisions regarding the studios I'll support. The outcome from the Ninth Circuit doesn't surprise me. Take a look at their record for verdicts that have been overturned by higher courts.
It's really too bad the two issues are conflated. The issue about VidAngel setting up a streaming service from ripped DVDs that they 'sold' to us and then 'bought' back was never going to fly. That argument I would also find against VidAngel if I were on the jury. They shouldn't have done that.
What should be a separate question is the right to be able to have a filter on a movie or tv show. I'm concerned that question will get tied up with the streaming dvd issue when they should be two separate ones.
If VidAngel goes out of business, perhaps they can spin up a new company with the current filter model technology. That's what is if real value.
I wish I could read the actual judgement and not the press's interpretation of it.
My question is did the major studios oppose presenting their material in an edited form, similar to broadcast television and airplanes, or did they feel they were not getting paid a "reasonable amount" for the movie they made?
I get that the studios objected to the process by which VidAngel overcame the copy protection in order to provide the service. It is possible that this was their only objection or the only one that the court could grant them remedy for.
"Reasonable amount" being direct and individual contract negotiations with VidAngel for the movies presented. In other words did they feel that their movies should not have been watched editing out objectionable content or did they feel they were not getting paid enough to allow VidAngel to provide this service?
I'm preparing a letter with all of the information and transcripts for you to review the details yourself. I wish it were as easy as paying them a license fee. Thanks!

I am so sorry to hear about the verdict. I appreciate the freedom you have provided to watch films without the junk. I am cheering for you!
Thank you Raquelle!
Justin Elliott says:
Was the question on streaming the plantiff's movies via the new model settled in this suit?
It was not settled, one way or another at this stage.
Rick Allen says:
The big question in case I missed it. When will I no longer be able to use my VidAngel subscription?
You can continue to use your VidAngel subscription. Thanks for being a customer.

Don't give up the fight! We're praying for you, and support you in fighting for our right to filter out the filth hollywood, disney et al force on us. I too have become disaffected and disappointed with disney and others in the industry. I used to immediately buy the cute kids/animated films once they hit DVD, but I don't anymore. Most aren't worth watching at all, let alone purchasing. I don't trust them anymore. I've only paid for a movie in the theatre once in the last year, and once the year before. We don't have television/cable/satellite in our home. Streaming services with parent restrictions and settings only, and Vidangel. I'm trying to send a message via my wallet, but they aren't listening. I'll keep fighting on my end, and invite other conscientious people to do the same. May God bless you in your fight, Vidangel team! Best of luck moving forward!
Thank you Mindful mama!
Neal Harmon, I love VidAngel. I used the old platform and have been a subscriber since the beginning of the new version. We use it almost daily and will continue to l.subscribe until it shuts down (which I hope it never does.)
Is VidAngel able to survive if this verdict stands? I know you have said you intend to fight it, but would they allow you to pay in installments? Is there paths through bankruptcy?
My heart hurts for you. Please stay hopeful, and continue to fight the fight as far as you can take it. We'll be praying for a win for both you, and for Vidangel! It is a terrific and very needed service!!!
Gosh, this sincerely is ruined my day. I'm so sorry Neal. I disliked every post about the settlement I could find on LinkedIn. Is VidAngel studios, the dry bar, or the new streaming service protected from the settlement? You guys are brilliant, don't give up. There is a demand for what your doing and don't cave in. Stay strong.
Sorry to hear about the verdict… what's the game plan from here?
Robert Fonnesbeck says:
let me start my recognizing that ignorance to the law is not a defense. So given the courts ruling that infringement occurred an appeal may not change the outcome but it should change the implied damages. 62 million in revenue is a afternoon for Disney. So clearly its more about flexing that a damages award.
For me the question is, did they really prove that they lost revenue? I do not think so. Currently there are a lot of movies and shows i would not watch without either VidAngel or the federal required editing for TV broadcast. Disney is implying that i would have watched some of their content without filtering. I can personally say this is not the case. Because of VidAngel filtering, restricted content has reached a larger audience.
I know i am only one voice but any damages that implied i would have purchased or watched their content unfiltered it wrong. Real damages where not from me.
There were no actual damages. Only data shows profits that wouldn't have happened without VidAngel. Disney asked for $125 million to "deter the next VidAngel" as you'll find in their closing statement. https://blog.vidangel.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/June-17-2019-0932_Disney_RTP.pdf
Robert, one more thing, the 9th Circuit said that ours was a case of first impression, which means the law had never been tested. That is not ignorance, it's a different interpretation that the 9th Circuit did not accept.
interesting read, thank you, I understand better now. It look like they are trying to set a newly defined legal precedent, creating a rule to be used by the court when deciding later cases so called similar issues. I can see their argument but I don't agree with it or their approach. I am not sure why it has gained so much traction. They have ignored "true intent". The desired outcome seems more like the act of a bully than justice.
Quoting them: "This award has to be more than the cost of doing business; otherwise, it will not be deterrent. It will be an invitation for more piracy"
And it appears they tried to draw a comparison to bootleggers. This sounds like its personal and they are not looking for a solution they are looking to crush anything that can not control.
I hope that good and decency will prevail in the end.
Mark Christiansen says:
Keep fighting, Vidangel. Let's hope the Supreme Court sees the merits in your service.
I have been a Vidangel customer from the very beginning. Vidangel has obviously bent over backwards to find legal ways to provide us a way to filter out harmful stuff.
People who feel that barbaric content is harmful should be free to skip it. I want the freedom to choose what I and my family see. "Just don't watch it then" isn't a satisfactory reply. Movies and TV shows are not just products; they are a big part of our culture, and we have right to see them the way we want (after we pay for them).
The studios' view that you can't edit their content doesn't hold water. We had airline versions and TV versions of their movies for years. This clearly shows that you don't need the R-rated stuff to tell the stories the movies and TV shows are telling. Vidangel is further proof of that. No one would pay for their service if filtering made the content incomprehensible or non-entertaining.
James Newman says:
Sadden to here this, praying for hearts to be soften. There are so many movies that I have been able to watch on Netflix with VidAngel I'm grateful for the service and pray that it continues.
Can the other studios still sue based on the old model or is it still too late? Wondering if the judgment may embolden other studios?
R. Ables says:
I am a potential new subscriber. I'm sure there are others contemplating joining also. I'm a little uncertain how this court outcome should affect my decision to subscribe. Mr. Harmon, is there a place that addresses fears and concerns of potential new subscribers and just what the product will provide for us and what product may be lost by joining VidAngel? Will the service continue for streaming on Netflix? Does this ruling affect companies other than Disney from offering their movies/television shows for streamed editing? Sincerely and God bless.
Great question. The product will provide the same features it has for the past two years. A growing library of original content, the ability to filter Netflix, Amazon Prime and HBO on Amazon Channels. We plan to continue to filter non-plaintiff content. We plan to appeal and, in the meantime, this verdict should not impact our subscribers. If there were something that would impact subscribers, we would let people know.
MommyMel says:
Staying loyal to VidAngel! We need this service and I for one, don't mind non-plaintiff content. It's a great opportunity for talent to rise outside of the machine. If you're on the fence, get off and jump in. The water is very fine indeed.
Can we fight this thing? Isn't there a petition or something that can be signed?

Britain's Andy Murray beat five-time champion Novak Djokovic to win his first ATP World Tour Finals title and end 2016 as the world number one.
After a season in which he had already reached dizzy heights, Andy Murray has saved the best for last by outclassing Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-4 to claim his first ATP World Tour Finals title and secure the year-end top ranking.
Against a player who has so often been his nemesis, Murray produced a relentless display to overpower the Serb he dislodged from the number one spot earlier this month.
Murray added the title to the Wimbledon crown and Rio Olympics gold he won during a stunning summer and, despite Djokovic's Australian Open and French Open titles, there can be little argument the Scot is currently the world's best player.
There was a slight wobble when Djokovic fought back from 4-1 down in the second set as the exertions of Murray's near four hour semi-final epic against Milos Raonic began to tell.
But Murray was relentless and claimed victory on his third match point when an error-prone Djokovic fired a forehand wide.
"It's very special playing against Novak in a match like this, It is something I never expected," Murray said.
"I'm very happy to win and to be world number one is very special," said the Scot.
A capacity crowd of 17,000 packed into the O2 Arena to witness a match that felt more like a heavyweight championship boxing bout than a tennis match, and it was Murray who rose to the occasion.
"Andy is definitely number one in the world," said Djokovic. "He deserved to win. He is the best player.
Murray, 29, extended his career-best winning run to 24 matches.
Three-times major champion Murray is the 17th man to end the year at number one since ATP rankings began in 1973 and only the fourth since 2004 – after which Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic have shared the position between themselves.
