Queal wants to simplify your life by providing quick nutricious shakes. Let's hear the juicy details from CEO Floris Wolswijk!
Describe Queal in 50 words or less.
Queal is a quick, tasty and complete meal replacement shake. It solves the problem of eating healthy in the limited amount of time we have today. Sounds familiar right?
Building a company is an exciting road to take. One in which you very directly see the results of your efforts, or not if you don't do anything. I'm constantly learning and would be miserable in an office job. It's also the freedom to pursue your own goals that makes working on a startup that much more fun. I also have the pleasure of working together with a friend of mine that I have known for over 10 years. Together with our employees we are changing the world, one shake at a time.
People have an easy and healthy nutritional option in their house, combining the best of both worlds. People don't always have the time to cook a healthy meal, many people don't even know how to make a really nutritious meal. At the same time we are bombarded with adverts for McDonalds, and drink large cups of sugar, like Starbucks Frappuchinos. In 7 years we believe that everyone has the ability to not have to choose between time and health. We will have a quick, tasty and complete meal for millions of people, ready for when they don't have the time.
On an individual level we glow with joy when we positively impact the lives of our customers. At a business level we measure the growth of our company on a monthly basis. This is what drives us each and every day and keeps us from going off track. All our other goals are aligned to keep growth going as fast as possible.
Customer service is the number one priority. On average we answer questions within 1 hour and are also very active on twitter. After that we start the rest of the day with a meeting about our top priorities, give feedback and get back to work. Yesterday we filmed a Tinkering Thursday video, worked on the website and organized a testing of (top secret) new flavours. Other tasks of course also include communicating with our partners, doing some bookkeeping, and on Fridays (or if we work late) having some drinks.
Already pivoted? Did customers use the meal replacement shakes like you imagined it in the beginning?
No pivot here. Our customer base has grown from the early adopters with a very technical background to a diverse group of people ranging from top athletes to busy consultants. A big portion of our customers drink Queal 1 to 2 times a day. They use it in their morning routine or when working late at the office. Quite some people also drink Queal 3 times a day, and yes, that's very much possible.
Bootstrapped. Started really small and used our cash flow to scale up quickly. In the future we don't see an immediate need for financing, but are also not opposed to it. We will be fuelled by Queal and will continue to invest back into the company. I also believe that giving back to your customers and continuing to innovate is very important.
Southwest is an airline that is competing in one of the most low-margin businesses possible, yet they are making a profit. They do this by offering the very best service possible. At Queal we do the same thing, being always available to our customers. Package lost by the postal services – a new package directly on its way. A question about being diabetic and using powdered foods, we will give you the answer (it's perfectly fine). In the end we believe that this is the way to spread the word about Queal: happy customers.
Fitness and certain capabilities. I think that foremost our team members should also believe in Queal, not only what it wants to provide (quick, tasty, complete meals) but also the way we do it (best service and recipe). After that comes the capabilities of a team member. We can train you quite a lot, but you need to know the basics before you join our team.
We grow as fast as we can learn. And I think the same goes for talents that might join our team. You can leverage your skills and at the same time learn so much more. We have a lot of experience as entrepreneurs and we have a lot to share. And we have a positive cash flow, so you don't only have to work for the experience. And Friday drinks of course!
Passing the 100k in sales. It marked a point for us that we were really doing something very well. We know there are other companies that try and do the same thing as us, but after that mark we were sure that we are the ones that know how to really do it. We now mainly compete with ourselves and try and be a little better each and every day. On the day itself there was some champagne involved and not much extra work was done after that. The very first memorable moment was drinking the first version of Queal, that's where it all started.
Persistence is key. If you know that your idea is good, something that will improve the world, you can beat through the doubts and setbacks. But if you don't have your 'why' figured out, you won't be able to go through the different forms of 'what' without losing faith. Second I believe that you should just go for it. Without getting your feet wet you only have an idea, and without feedback you will not learn. So get out there and believe in yourself.

Dec 16 – St Adelaide of Burgundy (931-999) empress and foundress of monasteries & convents
Summary: St Adelaide of Burgundy. Possibly the most prominent European woman of the tenth century, her second marriage was to Otto the Great of Germany, the Holy Roman Emperor. She became regent for some time and later, and was the foundress of many monasteries of monks and nuns.
Patrick Duffy reminds us what is known about her.
First marriage at sixteen
The daughter of Rudulph II of Upper Burgundy, Adelaide was married at the age of sixteen to Lothair, who was then king of Italy. A daughter, Emma, was born of this marriage. Lothair was probably poisoned by his successor to the throne, Berengar. As part of Berengar's attempt to keep his grip on power, he ordered Adelaide to marry his son; she refused, and he imprisoned her in a castle. But soon after the German king, Otto the Great, defeated Berengar, and freed Adelaide and proposed marriage, which she accepted.
Second marriage to King Otto the Great
On Christmas Day 951 she married Otto at Pavia. The marriage consolidated his authority in northern Italy, and in 962 they were crowned emperor and empress by Pope John XII in Rome. Otto died in 973 and for twenty years Adelaide's life was a turmoil of family and political troubles. Her daughter-in-law, the Byzantine princess Theophano turned her son Otto II against her. Adelaide had to leave the court and live for a time with her brother in Burgundy. A reconciliation was effected, and in 983 just before he died Otto appointed her his viceroy in Italy.
Struggles with Theophano, her daughter-in-law
Otto II died the same year, and the new emperor, her grandson Otto III, still a minor, was entrusted to the joint regency of his mother and grandmother. Theophano was able once again to oust Adelaide from power and the court. When Theophano died in 991 the regency reverted to Adelaide alone.
Helped by St Willigis
The bishop of Mainz, St. Willigis, came to her aid. After Otto came of age in 995, Adelaide was able to devote herself to works of generosity to the poor, to help in evangelising the Slavs and in founding and restoring monasteries and convents. She was especially friendly with the monastery of Cluny, then the centre of a movement for reform and with its abbots St. Majolus and St. Odilo. The latter wrote a memoir of her, calling her 'a marvel of beauty and goodness'.
When Otto III was old enough, Adelaide retired to the convent of Seltz near Cologne, a house she had built. She never became a nun, but she spent the rest of her days there in prayer. Her feast is kept especially in many German dioceses.

Colt Technology Services has teamed up with Cisco to make sure it is in a position to have a solution that will help mobile service providers offer 5G services.
Cisco will be adding its segment routing and Ethernet VPN architecture on top of Colt's IQ Network to give MSPs the chance to offer 5G to customers.
The partnership is not only designed to produce something technically robust enough to meet those looking for flexible connectivity options but will also reduce the financial exposure of service providers by giving them the chance to share connectivity costs along with individual SLAs.
Peter Coppens, vice president, product portfolio at Colt, said that the arrival of 5G gave MSPs and their customers more opportunities as people took advantage of the high bandwidth on offer.
"We have worked closely with Cisco to design a network architecture that is simple to operate, highly available, and capable of delivering the innovative network services that are required for 5G," he said.
The emphasis on helping more partners get involved was also the motivation behind Cisco's involvement.
"With every new mobile technology comes complexity, and 5G is no different. We are proud to support Colt as a strategic partner in its mission to simplify 5G deployments," said Sumeet Arora, svp and general manager service provider routing at Cisco.
"Cisco's highly programmable segment routing architecture will enable Colt to lower the barriers of entry for MSPs, reducing costs and significantly speeding up the delivery of 5G services," he added.
Other partnerships are also being formed in the channel by firms keen to make sure they are ready to take advantage of 5G and networking advances.
Earlier today it was announced that Tata Communications Transformation Services has teamed up with Zeetta Networks and 5G was a big theme at last month's Mobile World Congress, with several firms releasing products to support the move to the latest technology.
One of those was F5, which launched a range of 5G services to try to help those using 4G to get ready to make the transition.
"After years of preparing for 5G, we're seeing progress as telecoms and service providers begin to implement the infrastructure to make its promise a reality," said James Feger, vice president and general manager, service provider at F5.
"We're delivering virtualisation solutions and custom services that help them maximise the substantial investments in their current 4G networks now, while optimising their infrastructure to enable the scale required to deploy the 5G networks tomorrow," he added.

The Death of Ted Healy — Part 8
Dec. 22, 1937: "Beating of Ted Healy Told in Death Probe," in the Los Angeles Daily News.
In case you just tuned in, we are nearing the end of a long journey that began in April, when I stumbled across a Wikipedia entry claiming that Wallace Beery was involved in beating Ted Healy to death in the parking lot of the Cafe Trocadero in December 1937.
Wikipedia: Murder and Myth: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9 | Part 10 | Part 11 | Part 12 | Part 13 | Part 14 | Part 15 | Part 16 | Part 17| Part 18
In our research trek, we have looked at the Wikipedia entries, examined the source material (as such) for the entries and concentrated on some of the key players, especially Betty Braun Healy, the comedian's first wife and onetime vaudeville partner.
Healy's ex-wife is crucial to understanding the stories surrounding Healy's death because she is the only one to claim that people are being protected, that there is a cover-up, that she is being warned to keep quiet and that she is threatened with being blacklisted by the studios.
Everyone else — the coroner, the police, the district attorney, Healy's widow and his sister, his manager and Healy's doctors — all of them insist that Healy died of natural causes. They are unanimous.
It is only Betty Braun Healy who is adamant in speaking to the Los Angeles newspapers that there is a cover-up.
The Death of Ted Healy: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7
In several earlier posts, we looked at Betty Braun's marriage to Healy. Now it's time to examine where they stood in 1937.
And the answer is not good, at least if you are the current Mrs. Ted Healy.
What do you suppose Healy was doing while his young wife, who had just turned 22, was in the hospital giving birth to their first child?
On the Saturday night before Healy died, he was in a cafe with his ex-wife, according to her own account in the Los Angeles Herald-Express, Dec. 24, 1937.
She insisted that they were "discussing a business matter" and "in the presence of other people" but being seen in a public restaurant or nightclub with your ex while your wife is in the hospital with your new baby is fairly despicable — even by Ted Healy's standards.
She said:
"I saw Ted Saturday night in the presence of other people. He told me that he had never felt better in his life; that he had been taking better care of himself and that he had not been drinking for at least six months. We were in a cafe discussing a business matter and Ted drank coffee and declared he'd never drink again as he did once upon a time."
She also said:
"Ted never looked better in the 16 years I've known him than he did Saturday night. He was filled with the joy of life and with plans for the future for his new baby. He told me of his real estate plans — he was planning to build nine houses on Vermont Avenue and wanted me to go look at the site and see what I thought of the idea.
He also spoke of his new picture* and said he hoped it brought him the success he thought it would."He said he expected to make a half-million dollars during the coming year. He expressed great interest in the story that I sent to Warner Brothers for consideration by them because it was written around the neighborhood where Ted's youth was spent."
And she expected to be included in Healy's purported life insurance policy, according to the Los Angeles Examiner, Dec. 29, 1937:
"She was told, she added, that he took out a $100,000 life insurance policy shortly before his death."
By his ex-wife's account, Healy drank coffee that night, so presumably he wasn't hung over. But whatever the cause, he was sick most of the next day, Sunday, Dec. 19, 1937.
*Probably "Hollywood Hotel," which was about to premiere, although it could have been his upcoming film "Gold Diggers in Paris"

I really enjoyed this series. Excellent research! I thought you might want to see a clip of Sammy Wolfe in action. He's the comic singer in this Les Paul clip. I wonder if he wore his hair that way to suggest a link to Larry Fine and the Three Stooges? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR5zdYuustQ

FamilySearch opens a new Seattle Family Discovery Center that provides fun, interactive experiences to celebrate family history.
FamilySearch opens a new Seattle Family Discovery Center
that provides fun, interactive experiences to celebrate family history.
High-tech "Museum of You" concept for center guides visitors to discover, share, and preserve their histories and memories.
At the Seattle Discovery Center in Bellevue, Washington, Trace Farmer of Seattle, Washington,
discovers 4,586 people share his first name while using the "Discover My Story" experience.
BELLEVUE, WA—FamilySearch International announces the grand opening of its Seattle Family Discovery Center, the first to open outside its headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. Based in Bellevue, the center offers interactive experiences for visitors of all ages to discover, share, and preserve family histories and memories. It is free to the public. Find out more online at FamilySearch.org/discoverycenter/seattle.
Visitors to the center are provided with a tablet computer as a personal guide to interface with large touch screens, where they learn more about themselves, view family origins, and discover how ancestors may have lived and even dressed. Data used for the interactive experiences is drawn from online data at FamilySearch.org and select partners.
The center creates a "Museum of You" feeling through a variety of experiences and activities for children, five interactive station experiences, and software applications that explore family ancestral lines in fun, creative ways to help patrons discover famous relatives.
When asked how visitors respond to the new attraction, 16-year-old Brynn Stapley of Bellevue, Washington, said, "I see amazement at the technology, the information, and how it's presented on big screens. Visitors get excited when they discover a little piece of new information that leads to more information about their families. I think people are surprised how much they learn about themselves and their cultural heritage and then leave eager to continue the journey." Stapley is one of 23 volunteers at the center.
The center features a high-definition video recording studio, where visitors can answer questions about their life stories and archive the recording for long-term preservation so future children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren can access the recording later. Visitors can also bring a USB drive to take home a copy of the recorded session.
Becca Escoto, 26, resident of Bellevue and center volunteer, said she met a couple engaged to be married and encouraged them to record their engagement story for their posterity. "It was exciting to see them in the studio, sharing a story that will be important for their future family members," Escoto said. "What a perfect start to begin their family." Escoto said she was also surprised to discover that she personally is an eighth cousin to President Barack Obama through their maternal family lines.
The Seattle Family Discovery Center is a free community attraction funded entirely by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, of which FamilySearch International is a nonprofit subsidiary. "We believe our precious family relationships and experiences in this life do not end with death," said Dennis Brimhall, CEO of FamilySearch International and managing director of the Family History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
"Today family history research and telling, sharing, and preserving family memories through stories, photos, and technology are engaging a growing number of individuals of all ages from every faith and ethnicity like never before," said Brimhall. "Youth want to discover themselves and their family's history in fun, exciting ways, and adults want to strengthen family connections and leave enduring legacies. The discovery experiences provided by this facility will help do just that," Brimhall added.
Planning for the Seattle Family Discovery Center has been years in development, and construction was completed in April 2015. In addition to the family discovery centers in Salt Lake and Seattle, FamilySearch has announced future centers in London, England, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The Seattle Family Discovery Center is located inside The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints facility at 15205 SE 28th Street in Bellevue, Washington.
Two visitors to the Family Discovery Center in Bellevue, Washington, use a tablet computer provided to each patron as a personal guide to interface with large touch screens that help patrons discover fun, new things about their family through FamilySearch data, photos and stories.
FamilySearch International is the largest genealogy organization in the world. Millions of people use FamilySearch records, resources, and services to learn more about their family history. To help in this great pursuit, FamilySearch and its predecessors have been actively gathering, preserving, and sharing genealogical records worldwide for over 100 years. FamilySearch is a nonprofit organization sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Patrons may access FamilySearch services and resources free online at FamilySearch.org or through over 4,800 family history centers in 132 countries, including the renowned Family History Library in Salt Lake City.
Ancestral Quest is Now Available for Mac
The following is from Ancestral Quest.
Salt Lake City, Utah (August 19, 2015) – Incline Software, LC announced today thatAncestral Quest™, its family tree software, is now available for Mac.
For over 20 years, Ancestral Quest has been a Windows program, providing excellent, easy-to-use yet comprehensive tools to millions of users worldwide, both professional and beginner. During that time, it has been sold directly by Incline Software, and licensed by others, often under different titles, including Ancestry Family Tree (AFT) by Ancestry.com and with more extensive adjustments as Personal Ancestral File (PAF) by FamilySearch. This powerful family tree record keeping program is now available to users of Mac. Ancestral Quest for Mac will run on OS X 10.7 and later.
Ancestral Quest for Mac simply downloads and installs directly to the Mac, without the need for additional software. Those who have used Ancestral Quest on Windows computers will find that AQ for Mac is the same program as AQ for Windows.
Overview of Ancestral Quest for Mac
Ancestral Quest for Mac allows users to record their family tree, including the names, dates and places of ancestors and descendants, and provides for the recording of notes and sources for each individual, as well as scrapbook collections for each person. AQ for Mac also allows users to print standard forms and charts such as Pedigree charts, Family Group Records, Ancestry and Descendancy charts, birthday and anniversary calendars, and scores of additional charts, lists and reports to help them review and share their family tree. AQ for Mac can create a web-site that can be uploaded to the Internet, showing whatever parts of a family tree users feel like sharing. It also generates a customizable research timeline, to help put ancestors in perspective of the times and events in which they lived, and provides users with a research log and manager to keep their genealogical research efforts organized.
Ancestral Quest provides an ability, unique for desktop family tree software products, to have several users work as a team on a single data file, from multiple computers anywhere in the world. This feature is called "Collaboration." Whether the user has a Windows computer or a Mac, team members will be able to work together with AQ's Collaboration system.
Ancestral Quest for Mac meets the same certification requirements with FamilySearch Family Tree (Family Tree) as its Windows counterpart. This means that users can upload portions of their personal family tree to the Family Tree, or download portions of theFamily Tree into their personal file. Users can also synchronize individuals, families, and notes and sources for both individuals and families between their personal file and Family Tree. Additionally, like its Windows counterpart, Ancestral Quest for Mac allows users to search such online databases as those of Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org, along with other sites that can be added into Ancestral Quest's Internet search engine.
Ancestral Quest has won several awards over the years, including the 2009 FamilySearch award for "Most Comprehensive Syncing", which is indicative of the way AQ is not only easy to learn and use, but of paying attention to the important details required by genealogists. AQ was also awarded the 2009 FamilySearch award for "Best Listing Tool", which epitomizes the fact that AQ provides the most advanced tools for finding individuals and defining groups of individuals for various reporting and research tasks.
Benefits to PAF Users
Many PAF 5 users have moved, or are contemplating moving, from Windows computers to Mac computers. Because the Windows versions of PAF were derived from AQ, these PAF users will feel right at home as they use Ancestral Quest for Mac. Ancestral Quest for Mac can directly update a PAF 5 file, so current or former PAF 5 users can simply copy their PAF 5 file from their Windows machine to their Mac, and AQ will be able to open and work with their data, as is.
Incline Software™ developed Ancestral Quest in 1994, and has been enhancing it ever since.
In addition to English, Ancestral Quest is also available in German, French, Spanish, Danish, Norwegian, Hungarian and Swedish, with other language modules being developed. You can learn more about Incline Software, Ancestral Quest, and Ancestral Quest Basics, by visiting www.ancquest.com or calling Incline Software at 1-800-825-8864.
Ancestral Quest for Mac is expected to sell for $34.95. But for a limited time, it can be purchased at the same price as AQ for Windows, which currently is $29.95. Ancestral Quest Basics for Mac is a free version of Ancestral Quest, with all of the essential features of a family tree program available for free, but with the more advanced features locked. The free version will only be available for a limited time, so those wishing to take advantage of obtaining a full-featured, free genealogy program for Mac should act quickly. Ancestral Quest for Mac can be downloaded from www.ancquest.com/mac.

Decoding The Colossal Failure Of Jack N Jill
By Navaneethakrishnan Unnikrishnan
Watching terrible movies is a passion I take very seriously. I call my friends, we order food and drinks, set up a nice ambience in the room and start the film, mainly to laugh at our own comments on the film and also to see who sleeps off first. When I saw memes roasting Jack N Jill, I first thought it was a smear campaign by haters of the cast members – Manju Warrier, Soubin Shahir et al. But then I came across scathing reviews from all quarters – leading reviewers, media channels and friends on social media.
What? Jack N Jill, Santosh Sivan's magnum opus that has been in the works since 2018, is a dud?
I couldn't believe it, primarily because of the belief I have in its creator – Mr Santosh Sivan, who is nothing short of a trailblazer in the Indian cinematography space. There are many stories about how he, along with his directors, often ventured into the unknown in pursuit of something unprecedented and incredible. The extensive logistics planning behind the scenes of "Chaiyya Chaiyya" as well as the making of the coordinated crowd chaos in Iruvar are two such tales that come to mind.
While I personally believe that it is his collaborations with Mani Ratnam (Roja, Thalapathi, Iruvar, Raavanan, Chekka Chivantha Vaanam) that stand out, he also has a formidable body of work in Malayalam cinema. For the few-and-far-between Malayalam films that warranted scale and grandeur, Sivan was always there at the forefront, wielding the camera – be it Yodha, Kalapani or Vanaprastham. His use of colors and lighting makes even shit films (Anjaan, Rangrezz..lol) look like masterpieces. Here's a good compilation of some of his most aesthetic shots.
Anyway, before this turns into a fanboying article, let's get back to where we started. Jack N Jill. I ended up watching the film one night. I have to confess that even for bad film standards, it was a really exhausting one and I wasn't able to successfully finish the film, having slept off 16 minutes before the end credits rolled. But my friends who survived, tell me I didn't miss much in terms of plot. I just read up the plot for the remaining story from the internet, just for this article. As expected, nothing great – after all, it was too late into the screenplay to salvage the film. A hugely disappointing affair from all fronts – the horrendous acting by pretty much the entire cast, the convoluted script, the lazy exposition and dialogues, and most surprisingly, a strictly average visual experience. I had so many questions.
I kept wondering – what was the target audience this film was trying to cater to? Was it children, considering the sci-fi setup and Soubin's character (perhaps an attempt at a modern-day Kuttichaathan)? Was it the Manju Warrier Fans Club, because she gets some action scenes towards the end and the plot revolves around her? Was it science freaks, considering the importance of AI in the script? I still can't find an answer to this question.

A primary aspect in every product development story (and this includes films too) is segmentation, targeting and positioning – in simple terms, cluster the population into segments based on demographic and psychological factors, decide which segments are your target audience, and position the product such that it appeals to this target audience. Jack N Jill seems to have failed right at the targeting step because its execution is all over the place – it is not humorous or wacky enough to keep kids interested, it is not mass enough to keep fans interested, and it is not sophisticated enough to keep sci-fi freaks interested.
The other question I had was – Did Santosh Sivan really do this? I mean, it's Santhosh-freaking-Sivan. I have closely followed his directorial work, and I think there has always been an extra genuineness in the way he presents his frames – taking clear inspirations from his Kerala upbringings (eg, paintings of Raja Ravi Varma in various films) while also infusing his cinematic influences (taking inspiration from Subatra Mitra's work in Before the Rains). But more than the aesthetics, one thing that I've realized is that all the stories that he helms have one central emotion – and he structures the film around this emotion. While in Asoka and Urumi, it is Valor; in Before the Rains it is Love (also lust); in Anandabhadram, it is Fear; and so on.
From Santhosh Sivan's promotional interview with Vishal Menon on Film Companion, it seems that the core emotion he was going for was Wonder. On paper, the elements in Jack n Jill's plot make for a lot of scope to induce wonder in the viewers: a miniature humanoid who talks in Kochi slang, the superpower effect of Kesh's advances in AI, the flip in Manju Warrier's character post acquiring the powers etc. Again, there probably was scope to translate these (exciting?) ideas onto a vibrant visual palette.
Even if we give the benefit of the doubt to the team that thought these elements would create a sense of wonder, they clearly failed at executing this into a coherent, effective story. However large the film's scale is, if there isn't a central thread that connects with the masses, the experience falls flat (Note the difference between a Bahubali and a Saaho?). Here, we just didn't feel for Parvathy (Manju Warrier)'s past, and so when she gets redemption, there isn't a sense of jubilation. Similarly, the relationship between Kesh (Kalidas Jayaram) and his father isn't defined enough for us to understand how much this project means to him. The weak writing makes for a really weak foundation, and that's a battle half lost already.
The performances in Jack N Jill were flawed?
Coming to the performances, I'm sure there were specific instructions for each of the leads: Kalidas Jayaram to play the sober one (the outsider, if you will) to increase contrast with the remaining characters, Manju Warrier to be the emotional rollercoaster who takes the audience through the script's highs and lows, Soubin Shahir to be the playful, hilarious one, and Aju Varghese, Basil Joseph to try and spice up the film with some actual humor. The result? A really jarring mix of tonalities and pitches in performances that just don't fit together.

Why am I digging into a film that the industry has already forgotten, and one that the cast and crew are probably trying hard to forget? No, I'm not getting any sort of sadistic pleasure from doing this. I'm not a hater of any of the folks involved either (in fact, I'm an ardent well-wisher of Santhosh Sivan, Basil Joseph and Kalidas Jayaram). It's just a post-mortem exercise that I think should be done on all films, good or bad. Decoding the success and failure of films would give us data points that can then be used in a regression analysis to maximize chances of success and more importantly, minimise chances of failure, thereby helping producers secure their profits. Damn, am I reviving the economy?

Олаві Йоганнес Маттіла (; 24 жовтня 1918, Гювінкяа, Фінляндія — 4 серпня 2013, Гювінкяа, Фінляндія) — фінський політик і дипломат; з 1971 по 1972, і з червня по листопад 1975 року — міністр закордонних справ Фінляндії.

Біографія
У 1946 році здобув вищу освіту в галузі машинобудування, в 1950 році отримав MBA. Працював у бізнесі. У 1952 році призначений на посаду торгового радника для просування фінської зовнішньої торгівлі в КНР. У 1957—1960 рр. — торговий секретар посольства в Аргентині.

Пізніше він став директором у міністерстві торгівлі та промисловості. Він працював у державній Valmet, спочатку головним виконавчим директором з 1965 по 1973 рік і головою правління з 1973 по 1982 рік. Він був також головою ради Enso-Гутцайт, іншої державної компанії.

1960—1963 рр. — начальник відділу торгівлі міністерства зовнішньої торгівлі, відповідав за «східний» напрям. Увійшов до найближчого оточення президента Кекконена,
1963—1964 рр. — міністр торгівлі та промисловості Фінляндії,
1965—1973 рр. — головний виконавчий директор і в 1975—1982 рр. — голова Правління машинобудівного і суднобудівного концерну Valmet. Особливу увагу приділяв розвитку суднобудування, домігшись істотного підвищення рентабельності. Крім того, значний прогрес стався в тракторобудуванні — розроблено оригінальну модель, введено в експлуатацію філію в Бразилії; постачалася техніка для фінського метро. Також втілено спільно зі шведським концерном Saab спільний проект у галузі автомобілебудування і проект зі створення нових машин з «Enso Gutzeit» в целюлозно-паперовій промисловості.

1971—1972 і в червні-листопаді 1975 року — міністр закордонних справ Фінляндії.
Однак внаслідок економічних проблем концерну Valmet в кінці 1970-х рр. політичний вплив Маттіли став знижуватися і йому довелося відмовитися від президентських амбіцій після відставки У. Кекконена в 1981 році. У 2004 році був засуджений до умовного ув'язнення за участь у шахрайській схемі зі злочинцями з Нігерії. Його син Оллі Маттіла, який працював у системі МЗС, був засуджений на початку 2000-х років за шпигунство.

Waffles are always a delight to have no matter in what shape, size or form they are. WAFL is an outlet that eases the pain of your cravings for waffles to every limit. WAFL is a dessert parlour located in a corner of the busy SDA market but is very easy to spot. You'll find scrumptious WAFL pie, sandwich and corn dogs loaded with cheese and mayonnaise on their menu. For dessert, you should definitely try the delicious waffles including the seasonal mango waffle and J-tubes which are loaded with ice cream inside. Oh, and they also have some amazing shakes, coolers, and hot drinks on the menu. I highly recommend their Chocolate and Strawberry J-tube, and the epic rainbow waffle loaded with amazing sauces and candies.
They should consider making some indoor sitting arrangements at this outlet.


A completely new category of long lasting acoustic strings that last up to 4X longer than ordinary acoustic strings, according to Stefan Grossman. a renowned concert artist, educator, and owner of The Guitar Workshop Catalog. Accurate Core Technology™ (ACT™) is at the heart of VERITAS™ strings. Superior core wire is recognized as the foundation for rich tone, accuracy of intonation, and durability. Accurate Core Technology™ was developed to reinforce the core wire and fill in imperfections along the entire length of the core wire. In our opinion, this results in strings with improved pitch retention, and stability.


This is a delicious dish! Thanks for posting it. Many central and south american countries have a version of this dish but none of them use coconut milk that I know of. It makes a huge different and imparts its own special flavor. Thanks again!
Hi Mike, thanks for stopping by my piece of the internet. the coconut milk makes a big difference. If you get a chance, try to make it with the real coconut milk, I guarantee you will be pleased.
Hi Christen, thanks for stopping by and welcome to myjamaicanrecipes.com. Please let me know how your rice and peas turn out. Bon Appetit.

Hi, Terry welcome back, I would love your feedback on how the recipe turned out for you. Please check back as I will be adding some new recipes very soon.


Knee pain can be quite a troublesome thing to deal with, especially when it's out of the blue. A number of things can cause it, like degeneration, weakened cartilage, strain due to physical activity, lack of exercise, wrong posture (sitting, standing, walking, running or sleeping!), infection, or even improper shoes. Cold and damp weather often contributes to joint pain and stiffness. Fortunately, Ayurveda offers some solutions for mild to moderate conditions. With a doctor's approval, you can go ahead and take your pick from these natural remedies for knee pain.
Known as methi in India, fenugreek is a potent natural remedy for knee pain. If your condition has resulted from cold weather, fenugreek seeds will provide you with the warmth needed. They also fight inflammation, supply your body with antioxidants, and relieve pain. Here's how to prepare yourself some medicinal fenugreek for joint pain: begin the previous night by soaking a teaspoon of the seeds in water. The next morning, strain the water off and grind the seeds. Eat them, and then drink a glass of lukewarm water.
Next on our list of remedies for knee joint pain is Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate heptahydrate). If the pain is holding you back from important activities, try this. It has found to be excellent in relaxing your body as well as relieving the pain, and the skin absorbs this salt extremely well. Here's what to do: fill up a vessel with warm water and add a cup of Epsom salt to it. Soak your joints in it for about half an hour and then remove it. You should feel the difference instantly.
Hot and cold therapy is an excellent joint pain natural treatment. Plus, it's simple to do and provides quick relief from the ache. While the heat boosts blood circulation in the area to heal discomfort, cold does the opposite to reduce swelling. Both relieve pain. For heat, you can use heating pads and packs, as well as steam and bath water. And for cold, you can use things like ice packs, sprays, and chilled water. Heat and cool your knee one after the other, each for 25 minutes. Be sure to consult your doctor before doing it, since either one could worsen symptoms like stiffness and increase the pain, if it doesn't suit your condition.
With its anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties, Ginger is a powerful medicine for knee joint pain. Several studies have found this herb to benefit those suffering from osteoarthritis. It can also help heal knee pain caused by strain. You can chew on its root, drink ginger water, or apply ginger oil on your knee. But discuss with your doctor about the possible side effects, including interaction with any other medicines you might be taking at the moment.
Next up is turmeric, a widely used Ayurvedic herb in treatment for knee joint pain. Turmeric, has chemicals like curcumin that studies have confirmed to fight inflammation in the body, reduce stiffness, as well as relieve pain. In fact, it may even be as good as ibuprofen. It's great for balancing all the doshas and therefore taking care of the joint pain as a symptom of the imbalance. You can take turmeric capsules, or consume turmeric with water or milk. The dosage depends on each case.
This article is solely for the purpose of imparting information. Please do not substitute it for professional medical advice. We insist that you use natural remedies for knee pain after a consultation with your doctor.

COVID vaccine data coming in
Published 3:42 am Saturday, July 10, 2021
Whether or not a booster shot will be needed for COVID-19 vaccines still remains to be seen.
According to Rick Smith, CEO of Troy Regional Medical Center, the Centers for Disease Control still doesn't have any guidelines established for booster shots.
"The target really keeps moving on that," Smith said. "The people that got the shots in January still have antibodies, so we know they're good for at least six or seven months. But, we're getting more and more data on the vaccines everyday. If you look online, the CDC doesn't have any guidelines on boosters. I think we'll go through the same thing we went through with flu shots. As more data came in, we discovered that you need a flu shot every year."
Amy Minor, TRMC's chief clinical officer, said the data coming in from hospitals indicates the vaccines are effective.
"Right now, 94 to 95 percent of the people being admitted to hospitals with COVID have had no COVID vaccination," Minor said. "That really supports the data we're getting."
Smith said TRMC has stopped its COVID vaccination clinics because the demand for the vaccinations had fallen off.
"The vaccination clinics are all but over for us," Smith said. "We're really at the end point. We still have some vaccines if people come in for one. But, we're not having clinics anymore. The people just aren't there to take the vaccine."
According to Alabama Department of Public Health Data, the number of people receiving COVID 19 vaccinations peaked in early April. Since then the number of people getting vaccinations has steadily decreased. On April 8, the peak, 45,128 doses were administered statewide. On July 5, only 2,708 vaccines were administered.
Alabama has a population of a little more than 5 million people. To date, 3,277,578 COVID-19 vaccinations have been administered. In total, the state received 4.6 million doses of vaccines.
During the pandemic, there were 554,071 cases of COVID in the state. Of those cases, 426,184 were confirmed and the remaining 127,887 cases were listed as probable. In all, 11,398 deaths have been attributed to COVID-19.
In the last two weeks, 1,844 cases of COVID have been confirmed in the state and 71,594 tests have been administered.
Smith said there were still people in Pike County testing positive for COVID, but he said none of them were sick enough to be admitted to the hospital.

Since it got its start in 19th century France, the French Bulldog has always been a fashionable and trendy pet.
The breed descends from the English Bulldog. In 1835, the sport of bull-baiting was outlawed (thank heavens!) so the Bulldog went from being a sporting breed to a companion breed. To reduce their size, some were crossed with terriers and others were crossed with pugs.
At the same time, the Industrial Revolution displaced many people, including the lace workers from Nottingham, who emigrated to France – and brought their pet Miniature Bulldogs with them.
Before you knew it, English breeders began sending over Bulldogs they considered to be too small or had faults such as ears that stood up, and the French couldn't get enough of these adorable pups. Everyone from society ladies to creative types like artists, writers and fashion designers wanted one of these stylish, in-vogue animals.
This is still the trend today, with actors, models and icons regularly posing with their French Bulldogs.
Today the French Bulldog is the sixth most popular dog breed in the United States, with people shelling out $1,400-2,000 to purchase this pet.
Of course, no list of French Bulldog names is complete without acknowledging their French heritage. We love these gorgeous, enduring male French names and think you will, too!
Ideas for French Bulldog names don't stop here. You can find plenty of other options on our online name generator. Sort by your favorite styles and themes.
How Do You Pick The Right Name?
With so many options, how do you know which name is right for your French Bulldog?
Make sure it rolls off the tongue. Some names are awesome on paper but tough to pronounce in everyday life.
Say it out loud. Can you imagine loudly calling for your dog with this name? If the answer is no, skip it.
Does it fit your dog? You might have the perfect name picked out but it doesn't fit with your dog's personality or appearance, that's a miss. Make sure it's the right name for your individual dog.
Trust your gut. When you find the right name, you'll know it!

With today's society focusing more and more on science, technology, engineering and math (the STEM subjects), students are becoming increasingly involved with programs that teach these STEM classes.
One of the most prominent places to learn about anything technological is Palos Verdes on the Net, also known as PVNet, which was founded by Ted Vegvari in 1995.
PVNet is a non-profit organization that provides not only students but community members unlimited access to technology that would be difficult to find elsewhere. With these advanced tools, students, interns and mentors collaborate to research and study numerous complicated projects.
Since PVNet opened, Vegvari estimates that more than 10,000 people have walked through its doors and left learning something new. PVNet is the most advanced center of its kind in the country for middle and high school students. Their accredited STEM program has attracted hundreds of youth people who are interested in technology but do not have the accessibility in their home.
Vegvari's entrepreneur background included time in both STEM as well as the art fields. He has always been passionate about audio/visual design, music production and recording. Much of his interests can be seen woven into everything that he does.
His goal for PVNet is to provide the gear that students can use to see what attracts their attention and hopefully that interest will reveal a path for their future.
When PVNet was created and established at an operations center at Rancho Palos Verdes City Hall, the intention was to assist the local government and the community at large, including senior citizens, with their computers as well as to create websites for hundreds of local businesses.
After moving to the Promenade on the Peninsula, PVNet began to focus on introducing technology to children of all ages. After outgrowing that space, PVNet has moved to a much larger space in the same mall. PVNet renovated the new space and is preparing for a grand opening to offer summer programs for all ages.
PVNet was founded to be a volunteer-based organization with the goal of providing students a safe haven to grow professionally and prepare for the working world.
Interns are assigned roles and duties and are learn to contribute operations necessary to serve the community as well as help newer interns and students with their projects.
Senior technology intern Chris Heidelberg has been interning at PVNet for four years and has participated in many interesting programs offered by PVNet.
"I grew up on Catalina Island, and there is a limited amount of technology over there," Heidelberg said. "I could barely use a computer when I come over to Palos Verdes, but no one there teaches you how to use them.
"I came in the 8th grade and I met a person who knew how to program, and I thought that it was really good that he could make games. I wanted to make games, too, so I started learning programing and game development. It was really overwhelming at first, so I started looking for a place where I could get help and learn how to do this and found PVNet, where I began my internship, Heidelberg said.
He quickly acclimated to his surroundings and now knows how to fix and make computers, use EEG headsets and analyze the data, code Java, use solidworks, program in MATLAB, network computers and equipment, use highly sophisticated material, develop software and more.
One of the projects that he worked on was fingerprinting the brain by mapping it with an electroencephalogram (EEG) headset. This device collects data about a subject, which is analyzed by a custom application (whitten by Chris) to create a profile that identifies any individual based on their brain waves, as if it were like a fingerprint.
"My goal has always been to create unique programs using emerging technology to allow students to expand their understanding of what their options are for jobs and careers that will materialize in the near future and provide career longevity." Vegvari said.
Heidelberg is currently working with six other people combining artificial intelligence (AI), EEG brainwave data, AI machine learning and the Oculus Rift virtual reality system to determine if artificial intelligence can understand a person's brain waves and alter their brain state into different emotions.
There are professionals who have Ph.D's mentoring them along with psychologists who are providing their expertise as well. This project is gaining national attention and it is not the first time that PVNet is doing something on that level.
PVNet has received recognition from the U.S. House of Representatives, former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sen. Barbara Boxer and many more.
PVNet is a place where every resource they have is at an individual's disposal. From 3D printers to laser cutters, virtual reality to brain mapping technology, PVNet offers equipment that a student might have never dreamed of using.
That is the heart of each intern and volunteers goal and the very essence of what PVNet is about.
Vegvari has selected Intern Heidelberg to represent PVNet at the NASA Edwards AFB in summer 2019 to work on the Prandtl-D 3C Subscale Glider, which will be deployed for the Mars 2020 mission.
