I got to know the great Vegan Organic Skin Care brand Mad Hippie by accident online. Ever since I'm using it and decided to share with you my authentic review about these awesome natural face products.
Mad Hippie is an affordable vegan skin care line that has been founded in Portland, Orego. Since then it has become a must of the skin care routine of many girls and women. Slowly but right it's also reaching us Europeans. So the facts that make Mad Happie simpatico: The majority of the products are vegan and cruelty free. The philosophy of the company is to create skin care that doesn't harm the environment and furthermore $1 from every sale is donated to The Wildlife Conservation Network. I would say Mad Hippie is not just vegan & cruelty free skin care but also a life style brand.
Mad Hippie also believes that the efficiency of the anti-aging creams lays in the secret of combining several ingredients and not just 1 or 2, the way many companies prefer to do nowadays. All in one after getting to know Mad Hippie's story closer I decided to try them and see how it works.
Something so delicate like our eyes needs good and efficient care. It's also not easy to find a good eye cream that doesn't cost a fortune. After Mad Hippie eye cream review Now I will definitely stick to this product and I will suggest it to everyone.
My order arrived within a week and I didn't hesitate to try the products. The Eye Cream has a light creamy consistency that needs a bit of time to absorb but it helps to prevent the appearance of dark circles and puffiness around the eyes. Various ingredients like Vitamine C, B3, E and white tea help to protect your skin from aging. It's always a personal opinion if you believe in the miraculous help of anti-aging creams but Mad Hippie eye cream doubtlessly hydrates the skin around the eyes and gives the skin some fresh brightness.
For those who don't know serum should be always used in the combination with your moisturizing face cream. The goal of every serum is to stimulate skin cell function. Mad Hippie Vitamine A Serum is a good mix of anti-aging highlights that help to improve, tighten and moisturize the skin. The main goals of these products are wrinkle reduction, firming, exfoliation and discoloration.
In my opinion Vitamin A Serum has a bit of the "typical" smell of a natural product, it's not bothering though. It needs to be used in the evening skin care routine 10 minutes before applying the main face cream. I could already notice the positive effects after just 2 days of using it. My skin (I have a normal type) started to look limped up, fresh and with less wrinkles around mouth and on the forehead. Nevertheless I've mentioned it already before I've been using it with Mad Hippie Face Cream.
The Mad Hippie Face Cream includes 13 different actives that promise to hydrate your skin and reduce signs of aging. I like this natural face product, it has a pleasant floral scent and is easy to apply. Mad Hippie Face Cream absorbs very fast and doesn't leave any greasy feeling on your face. You need only a pearl size amount of cream to use. The after effect of the smooth skin and all-day-long hydrated skin is priceless. It says that it's applicable to all skin types and with my normal skin type I have no issues when using it. All three products last around 3-4 months. All in one I would recommend to try it too.
There are various possibilities to buy vegan and cruelty free skin care products online. You can buy it on their official Mad Hippie Website. But if you live in Europe or you would like to have it a bit cheaper it's better to get the skin care at iHerb.com like I did.
Here you can find some more interesting reviews!
I've never heard of this brand! Love the packaging, I'll have to check them out!
I love skincare products and am totally into the natural ones. I love this line but not too crazy about the prices. It looks like the same priceline as origins. But I guess I'd have to check it out and see the difference.
This is the first time I have heard about the product. I am particularly interested in the eye cream. I love that it has all natural ingredients and most of all, cruelty free. I will look for this the next time I shop. I have been losing a lot of sleep lately and it shows in my eyes now.
Sounds like a nice skincare product! Love that it's natural and cruelty-free.
I am so happy to see your article. I am a vegan I always love finding vegan and cruelty friendly cosmetics. I will have to try them.
They all look really good and love the fact that they are cruelty free! Would love to try the eye cream!
Seems a very nice skincare product. I will refer this to my female friends.
I love that these products last for 3-4 months! That's so convenient, not to mention it helps you save as well. I am very curious about the eye cream and the face cream.
I like that the eye cream has white tea, not many do! These are good prices, I've seen other brands who are chemical heavy at higher prices. So I'm happier to pay less money for a better product.
I've hears so much about this product. My friends use this every time. I have to try this too.
My first thought when I saw the brand name was that this was probably something out of Portland, Oregon. Then I read the post and I was right! I love the brand packaging, and am curious to give the products a try.
I love supporting brands that support a good cause in return. This one's really awesome, it's the kind of skin care line that I wouldn't mind trying especially since it's all natural!
Oh I just love the name of the brand. I'm always on the hunt for an eye cream so i'm going to have to check out Mad Hippie's eye cream. Love the Vitamine C, B3, and E in it.
I like to try on the eye cream too, though I think there is no Mad Hippie available yet in our country. I am a fan of skincare products, this is a good review!
It's not available in my country either 🙂 But I and my friends are ordering it online!
I've never heard of this brand before but I like the sound of reducing puffiness around the eye!
I love Mad Hippie even though I had no idea it was from Portland. Love that majority of their products are vegan and they don't do animal-testing. It is a must-try for everyone.
These sound like lovely products. I love the packaging as it's quite eye catching. I am trying to use more natural and beauty free products so must try to get hold of some myself.
I love the idea of skincare that is vegan and cruelty free whilst being affordable too! I would love to try the serum!
I have sensitive skin and is picky when it comes to skin care products. Would love to try these in the future since it's natural!
I have not come across Mad Hippie products but its good to know that they have cruelty free products . I loved that Vitamin A serum and eye cream.
Never heard of this brand. The fact that it's natural and cruelty free makes it even more attractive (animal lover here!). Unfortunately, this ain't available in India, is it?
First time I am hearing of this product. I think girls should really give it a try as it is cruelty free and affordable as well.
This brand is new to me. Thanks for sharing.
This is my first time hearing about the Mad Hippie brand. I love that it's all natural and cruelty free. I also love the fact that $1 from every sale is donated to The Wildlife Conservation Network. I like that these products last 3-4 months as well, at those prices that's a really great deal!
Well they get my vote just for being cruelty free. I haven't use them but I would like to!
Oh wow I love the look of this brand! The actual packaging is fab and the logo too, love that it's cruelty free!
It's nice to read your article, I know a lot of vegan people who would be interested in this brand. I will refer it to them!
I love ethical brands. They are so much better for you and the environment and no nasty inside. I really like Mad Hippie's packagin too.
There are so many new cosmetic brands coming out that I can't keep up with them! But I like Mad Hippie because it's cruelty-free. I am against animal cruelty.
This is my first time hearing of this brand. I would love to try the Vitamin A serum. Thanks for the review!
I'm gonna try this out.. I'm always looking for the best skincare products and this seems like a win!
Thank you for this post. I'm definitely going to look into these products because I've tried several products and nothing seems to work.

In a quiet corner of First Hill's popular Frye Art Museum sits a beautiful bench that is not just for sitting, it has a story and is the focal point of a unique exhibit. The bench represents the brain child and months of work by an ambitious group of teenagers who set out to improve their design and digital literacy skills. The teens, ten high school students from Seattle's Central District, signed up for a spring session in Yesler Community Center's technology learning lab that ended with an exhibit opening at the Frye with their work as the main art piece.
In the Bench Mark exhibit that surrounds the bench there are rudimentary drawings of benches, each with a unique concept. There are also some doll-size mock-ups created from the drawings that show the evolution of the project and the thinking process of the teens. Some drawings incorporated modern touches including cell phone chargers and umbrella holsters. The official assignment was to research, design, and commission the making of a bench. The project gave them an opportunity to work with teaching artists and architects and take field trips to look at design in our urban environment.
"We visited benches and looked at architecture at the University of Washington, in Downtown Seattle, and at several parks in Seattle to get some ideas on design," said Asfaha Lemlem who runs the program at Yesler Community Center.
Then the teens returned to the computer lab to learn more about the architecture of a bench and find inspiration for their design.
Tam Nguyen, a junior at Seattle Central College's running start high school program, says the project opened his mind to what technology can be used for.
Practicality won out in the end with the final piece featuring a modern look referred to in the exhibit as urban simplicity. Nguyen offered some advice for anyone wanting to learn the technology behind design.
"Go crazy with ideas and push yourself when you brainstorm," Nguyen said.
Many of the students have taken multiple digital skill-building workshops at the Yesler tech education lab, which has developed strong education and community engagement partnerships with the Frye, Seattle University, and others. Yesler is one of five "Rec Tech" digital equity and opportunity centers operated by the Associated Recreation Council in Seattle Parks and Recreation facilities. Seattle IT has been a major funder of the programs through our Community Technology Program digital equity grants. The mission of Rec Tech is to facilitate effective technology-driven programs providing education, recreation, and community development services for children, families, and neighborhoods.
Participants in this program are happy with their final project and proud of their new skills and contribution to the community. When the bench leaves the exhibit, it will be installed outdoors near the Yesler Community Center.

In July, Seattle IT's Digital Services Usability and Design team partnered with Civic User Testing (CUT) to facilitate usability testing on the Seattle.gov web site. (Learn about the CUT group and volunteer with them at http://openseattle.org/cutgroup/#about).
The intended goal of the project was to understand if people were able to successfully navigate to popular City services on their mobile devices. The project team was hoping to create a list of design updates for its development team to implement, for example, changing navigation labels or interactions like tapping from the top navigation to page navigation.
Project leads chose to partner with the Seattle Housing Authority to include low-income Seattle residents. With guidance from Community Builder, Andy Chan, it was decided to facilitate a usability test on site at a subsidized housing building on First Hill to make participation easier.
Participants used their own mobile phones to navigate to Seattle.gov and complete some common tasks like paying a parking ticket, finding community classes, and reporting garbage.
While the team did learn a few things to improve the site navigation and terminology, they also learned about their own digital biases. There are many digital conventions that they take for granted that are still not ubiquitous to some user groups.
The group of people they interviewed had a different digital vocabulary. Some participants did not regularly use the words "web page" or "browser" so the language was quickly changed to be more generic.
Mobile "hamburger" menus are debated widely in the design community. The test confirmed this group of users were not familiar with it. They mostly used the apps on their phones that were installed by the manufacturers or heard about from friends or family from word of mouth.
The CUT group were the main organizers and they compensated participants with Visa gift cards. The paradigm of activating the gift cards were also not well understood.
Many participants did not know how to pinch and zoom.
Based on the City's 2014 Community Technology report, low-income users are twice as likely as other groups to have smartphone-only internet access. However, some participants had free phones provided by government services that they were hesitant to use based on bandwidth and limited data plans. While Seattle is a tech hub and many residents expect to complete many services online, there are residents that still need basic digital education and access.
The team will use what they learned about navigation and terminology to update the web site. They will be iterating with the Digital Services development team soon on a mobile-first navigation that is simpler and more obvious to use.
The team will also continue to learn firsthand about the needs of residents to improve the web sites and apps and usability test with them to understand if digital properties can be improved.
Volunteers needed to test upcoming projects!
Sign up to give feedback on upcoming iterations. The team is looking for a diverse mix of people across the city to test digital experiences or participate in design research. Typically, participation is about an hour of your time.
Sign-up to become a usability tester.
The team depends on partners to reach intended audiences and to help extend usability testing and design research capabilities.
The Seattle City Council unanimously approved $400,000 in Technology Matching Funds be awarded to 12 local organizations. These grants are given out annually to uphold the commitment by the City of Seattle as outlined in the Digital Equity Initiative. The goal of the initiative is to improve connectivity, digital skills training, and provide devices, and technology support to communities that might not have equitable access.
This year, projects receiving funds will support a broad range of community-driven, collaborative solutions to achieve digital equity in Seattle. They will reach over 8,300 residents, including immigrants, refugees, seniors, youth, and people with disabilities.
One recipient is YouthCare which will use their award of $49,940 to help young people experiencing homelessness with their employment and education goals.
City funding for the awards is matched by the community through additional cash, donations of hardware, software, supplies and labor. A one-half to one match is required of each organization receiving funding; however, the community contribution is often greater than the City's support. This year's projects are projected to provide more than $300,000 in community matching resources.
Literacy Source received $32, 379 will expand their digital literacy classes to serve more adults with limited English proficiency.

Find the full press release here. Watch the full press conference on the Seattle Channel.
Mayor Durkan is bringing together some of our region's most innovative companies and organizations to address the City's most urgent challenges – from homelessness to transportation.
Seattle has always invented the future, and we have some of the world's most innovative companies right in our backyard.
Smart cities harness the power of technology and innovation in their community – and that's exactly what Seattle is doing.
From homelessness to transportation to affordability, we need shared solutions that bring government, business, labor, philanthropy, and communities to the table. Initial commitments for the IAC by Amazon, Artefact Group, Expedia Group, Flying Fish, Microsoft, Tableau, Washington Technology Industry Association and Zillow Group.
The council will identify opportunities where technology and data can be used to help Seattle improve its processes.
Provide feedback on the City of Seattle's website!
The City of Seattle's Digital Services Team is looking for the public's help. The team members who work to maintain Seattle.gov are looking to make some improvements and need feedback from the people who use the site. Seattle.gov is where the public logs on to pay bills, look for services, and access City data, among other things. The team wants to improve the search function within Seattle.gov and they need a few volunteers to help with this process.
What will volunteers be doing?
Volunteers will be asked to conduct a few web searches on Seattle.gov and give feedback on the results they see. It will take approximately 30 minutes.
Volunteers will also have the option to sign up to participate in future Seattle.gov tests to improve the features and usability for everyone on this site.
Where will this take place?
The team will coordinate to meet participants at a public location of their convenience (for example, a library or community center) through July and August. The team is hoping to complete sessions by the end of August.
It takes about two minutes to sign up with basic contact information. Visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/VWWQVPP or email usability@seattle.gov with your name and the best way to get in contact with you.
Seattle Channel is the recipient of four Northwest Regional Emmy Awards for public-affairs, arts and environmental programming and an interview special. The winning programs covered topics ranging from safe injection sites to a tribute to the vinyl music format.

Seattle Channel presents programs on cable television – channel 21 on Comcast (321 HD), Wave (721 HD) and 8003 on CenturyLink (8503 HD) – and via the internet to help residents connect with their city. Programming includes series and special features highlighting the diverse civic and cultural landscape.
When King County Information Technology (KCIT) teamed up with Amazon Web Services to put on a Government Hackfest last month, Seattle Information Technology (Seattle IT) employees were all in. The challenge of the Hackfest was to develop government solutions using digital assistants, artificial intelligence, business intelligence, and big data technologies within the Amazon Web Services ecosystem.
The first of three teams, which included Lawrence Yu, Brandon Ha, Jim Thurnau, and Kenneth Wong analyzed house and structure fires in Seattle to determine if the age of each structure had any correlation with the fire.
Their team did find that older homes, especially those built in the late 90's, had more tendency to catch on fire.
The team of Steve Weston, Tom Puskas, Tuan Vuong, and Rufi Mallick produced an Alexa skill to provide information on scheduled events called "Event Tracker" at the Seattle Center. The team used Amazon Web Services Lambda, the Alexa skill, and an existing public web service.
The winning team, which included members of KCIT including Kam Suen, Mike Jeppesen, and Dale Brandenstein, as well as Seattle IT's Jeffrey Stewart. The team produced an Alexa skill to provide available parking spaces at the City's e-Park garages. They used Lambda function, as well as data from the City's public facing internet site.
"Hey Alexa, ask Seattle e-Park about Pike Place garage?" …Pike Place garage currently has 347 parking spaces available.
"Ask Seattle e-Park where is Pike Place?" …Pike Place garage is located at 1531 Western Ave.
All who participated say it was a good, but grueling experience and a great way to network with government employees who are in the same field.
During the week of May 7-11, 2018, Seattle Information Technology joined 300 affiliated organizations in 38 states for a nationwide online event to recognize Digital Inclusion Week. The purpose is to amplify the message that all individuals and communities, including the most disadvantaged, need equitable access to use the internet. We know digital inclusion requires intentional strategies and investments to reduce and eliminate historical, institutional, and structural barriers to access and use technology. The work to attain these goals is outlined in the City's Digital Equity Initiative.
We were honored to have Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan write a guest post on our Tech Talk blog where she talked about Seattle's long history of leading the way on digital innovation. She also humbly acknowledged that not everyone in our city has benefitted from the technological revolution. She discussed the challenges for many of finding a job online, having access to the internet, or helping their children with online homework when access to the internet, technology, and devices are a challenge. She also highlighted the City's efforts to close the digital divide in Seattle.
Community Technology Manager Chance Hunt blogged about the problem of being "Under Connected." Although 93% of Seattleites have the internet, not all have strong data or speed. Some have cost barriers, insufficient devices, and don't have the tech support. The post outlined solutions and the work Seattle is doing to improve digital equity.
It's been an enjoyable and successful week. We were happy to highlight our Seattle IT employees and share their feelings on digital equity. We look forward sharing even more next year!
To sign up for future announcements on about our Digital Equity program, join our listserv featured on our Digital Equity page.
It's Digital Inclusion Week! Every Seattle resident should have the technologies they need to participate fully in society. Whether they are looking for a job, connecting to family and friends, doing homework, or accessing government services.
National studies have found a link between home broadband internet adoption and educational success, greater household income, and improved access to government and health resources. This is especially true for vulnerable populations including low-income residents, limited-English speakers, seniors and people with disabilities.
Many low-income parents with home internet access report that their connection is too slow to do the things they wish to do online, especially homework requiring streaming. Households that share a single computer or had their internet cut off due to non-payment puts their students at a disadvantage.
2,922 residents received digital skills training through City of Seattle investments in community organizations.
6,584 internet "hot spots" were checked out from The Seattle Public LibrarySo, as we celebrate Digital Inclusion Week in 2018, we will continue to seek out solutions to get everyone online in Seattle. Working together as a community we will get people connected, get them the computer devices they need, and offer support for the skills necessary to be successful in life.

"Modify the standards of the in-group": On Jews and Mass Communications
January 14, 2020 /18 Comments/in Featured Articles, Jewish Academic Activism, Jewish Ethnic Networking /by Andrew Joyce, Ph.D.
Editor's note: This article originally appeared in September, 2018, in two parts. It is a classic, and an important addition to the research on Jewish involvement in creating the culture of critique—the anti-White culture that we live in today. The above photo is a testament to the way we live now—viewing the world through lenses shaped by activist Jews.
"To be successful, mass propaganda on the behalf of out-groups would have to modify the standards of the in-group.
Samuel H. Flowerman, Mass Propaganda in the War Against Bigotry, 1947.[1]
"The whole story is transparently barmy." This is what Guardian journalist Jason Wilson had to say in a 2015 article discussing "conspiracy theories" about Cultural Marxism. Barmy, for the uninitiated, is a British informal adjective with the meanings "mad; crazy; extremely foolish." Wilson continues by attempting to explain "the whole story":
The vogue for the ideas of theorists like Herbert Marcuse and Theodor Adorno in the 1960s counterculture culminated with their acolytes' occupation of the commanding heights of the most important cultural institutions, from universities to Hollywood studios. There, the conspiracy says, they promoted and even enforced ideas which were intended to destroy traditional Christian values and overthrow free enterprise: feminism, multiculturalism, gay rights and atheism. And this, apparently, is where political correctness came from. I promise you: this is what they really think … The theory of cultural Marxism is also blatantly antisemitic, drawing on the idea of Jews as a fifth column bringing down western civilisation from within, a racist trope that has a longer history than Marxism.
Re-reading this article recently, I wondered what Mr Wilson would say if I told him I possessed a document wherein an influential Jew linked to Marcuse and Adorno unambiguously sets out a scheme for the capture of the media, the mass brainwashing of White populations with multicultural propaganda, the manipulation of in-group culture to make it hostile to its own sense of ethnocentrism, the spreading of a culture of political correctness, and, ultimately, the co-option of the West by small ethnic clique pursuing its own interests under the guise of "promoting tolerance." I wonder what he'd say if I told him the same Jew operated a network of hundreds, if not thousands, of other Jewish intellectuals engaged in the same single task — unlocking a psychological "backdoor" to White culture in order to completely reorient it. I think I'm correct in assuming that Mr Wilson would call me "barmy," and accuse me of regurgitating the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. I suspect he would believe I'm a fantasist and an anti-Jewish conspiracy theorist. I know he'd dismiss even the possibility that such a document might actually exist. And yet it does exist. Read more

An Update to "Why Are Professors Liberals?": Jewish Influence Firmly Ensconced in Academia by the 1960s
June 3, 2019 /3 Comments/in General, Jewish Academic Activism /by Kevin MacDonald
Recently a blog titled "Ideas and Data" posted a very interesting and important article by an anonymous blogger, "The Jewish Question: An Empirical Examination." I'll have more to say about this blog in the future, but here I discuss a study on Jewish academic influence that I was unaware of.
This is the video version:
First, some introductory material from my paper, "Why Are Professors Liberals?."
Gross and Fosse point out that it was during the 1960s when universities became strongly associated with the political left in the eyes of friends and foes alike — enough to result in self-selection processes in which conservatives would feel unwelcome in the university:
Higher education was a crucial micromobilization context for a number of left social movements in the 1960s and 1970s, which further enhanced the institution's liberal reputation; with concerted cultural efforts by American conservatives, especially from the 1950s on, to build a collective identity for their movement around differentiation from various categories of "liberal elites," not least liberal professors; with restricted opportunities for Americans on the far left to enter other institutional spheres; and with self-reinforcing processes by which selfselection into the academic profession by liberals resulted in a more liberal professoriate whose reputation for liberalism was thereby maintained or enhanced. (pp. 158–159)
Further, because elite universities attempt to most represent the zeitgeist of the field, Gross and Fosse point out they will offer positions to scholars they see as exemplary; political attitudes are a major part of being exemplary. As noted above, Inbar and Lammers (2012) found that many liberal academics openly acknowledge that they would discriminate against a conservative job candidate. This rigorous policing of the attitudes of professors at elite institutions in turn leads to elite institutions being to the left of lesser institutions. In the academic hierarchy, the result is that graduate students coming from elite institutions are most representative of the leftist academic culture, either because of their socialization in the academic environment or simply because of self-interest as a member of a group (e.g., racial and ethnic minorities, homosexuals) whose interests are championed by the left. This becomes progressively diluted as one goes to the second- and third-tier schools and eventually down to K–12 education. The result is a liberal social environment at all levels of the educational system which in turn has measurable effects on student attitudes. Public opinion surveys carried out since the 1960s show that going to college results in attitude change in a liberal direction compared to parents. If education level remained the same, there was little change in attitudes (Kaufmann, 2004, p. 191).
Thus, academia is a top-down system in which the highest levels are rigorously policed to ensure liberal ideological conformity. Read more

Studying the Gentile: Fanciful Pseudoscience in the Service of Pathologizing the Covington Boys
February 3, 2019 /45 Comments/in Featured Articles, Jewish Academic Activism /by Andrew Joyce, Ph.D.
"One person questioning the truth of the Holocaust is one too many."
Karen Pollock, Holocaust Educational Trust, January 2019
In Studying the Jew (2006), Alan Steinweis's slim, Harvard-published text on the scholarly study of Jews under the Third Reich, the author laments "the perversion of scholarship by politics and ideology" and its service in the goals of "exclusion and domination." While some of the anecdotal material presented in the book is fascinating, especially its prosopographies of what one reviewer called the "clearly brilliant" German scholars who undertook such work, the overarching message of Studying the Jew is that one should, under no circumstances whatsoever, study the Jew. That Steinweis felt such a message was in any way necessary in 2006 is a testament to the same paranoia in which the fevered Jewish inability to let go of the past becomes the frantic injunction unto the Gentile to "Never Forget." Steinweis's limp appeals to contemporary relevancy aside, by 2006 the kind of patient and methodical Judenforschung produced by Édouard Drumont, Henry Ford, Hillaire Belloc, and the scholars of the 1930s, had indeed become a thing very much of the distant past — Kevin MacDonald's remarkable 1990s trilogy being the exception that proves an otherwise solid rule. By the 1960s, Jews had effectively monopolized the study of their own history and sociology in the post-war, modern incarnation of "Jewish Studies," and quickly followed a self-congratulating, navel-gazing, agenda-driven, victim-orientated trajectory in the same fashion as their later counterparts in Women's Studies, Chicano Studies, and Black Studies. Serious critical study of the Jews vanished from academia and mainstream culture.
Curiously, however, around the same time that serious critical study of Jews vanished from campuses and newspapers, a new trend emerged: studying the Gentile. I was strongly reminded of this recently during the debacle surrounding the Covington Catholic High School trip to Washington D.C. The facts of this incident are now so well known that they need no further regurgitation here. It should suffice to mention that large sections of the media were incensed that the school's students had enough self-respect to hold their ground against a group of ludicrous but abusive Black Israelites, as well as a Native American who apparently thought the best way to mediate the situation and reduce tension would be to bang his war drum and chant loudly mere inches from the palefaces. The aftermath was a true exercise in the media manipulation of anti-White hatred, something that seemed to reach a zenith when America's most prominent African-American Zionist, and AIPAC house Negro, Bakari Sellers, heroically broke from stereotypes of ignorant Black thuggery to call for one of the White children to be punched in the face. Stunning and brave.
At the Guardian meanwhile, attention momentarily turned away from the beating of White children to the more sedate subject of brainwashing them. In an article titled "How should parents teach their kids about racism?," the author, panicked by the children of Covington High, turns for advice to two academics working in the field of ethnicity perception among White children. Of course, both of these academics just happen to be Jewish. The first is Evan Apfelbaum, Boston University's Jewish expert in the study of the psychology of the little goyim. The article states:
Evan Apfelbaum, an associate professor at Boston University's Questrom School of Business focused on social psychology and diversity, agreed that it's good to start teaching children about race when they're young. "Having these tough, uncomfortable conversation at home in advance, in a structured setting, is one way to help prepare kids for facing these types of complex things in the real world," he said. Parents can use such viral videos that demonstrate inappropriate behavior as an opportunity to have a conversation with their children about racism, Apfelbaum added. "When things go viral, there's an opportunity for learning," he said.
Unfortunately for Apfelbaum, the emergence of further footage from this particular event revealed that the opportunity for learning involved the knowledge that adult Black men are quite willing to scream "faggots" at White children, presumably because those children have the mysterious ability to speak in complete sentences. A further lesson was that elderly Native Americans are not full of profound wisdom uttered in the staccato prosody of so many film depictions, but are instead profoundly anti-social and fully prepared to shamelessly lie about school children in order to solicit media attention.
The second of the Guardian's consulted experts was Dan Siegel, a truly ominous Jewish UCLA psychiatrist with a not-sinister-at-all interest in how the "remodeling" of the teenage brain can be interfered with in order to prevent in-group attachments:
The "remodeling" of the teenage brain into an adult brain entails four core changes: emotional sparks, social engagement, novelty-seeking and creative exploration — what Siegel calls "Essence". The four changes represent an uptick in passion, drive to be a part of a group and a desire for new experiences that is normal for teenagers. These changes can be positive or negative, depending on how they're fostered, Siegel said. The development also heightens what psychologists call "in-group, out-group distinction", or the tendency to lump oneself in social groups, he added. When a person feels like their "in-group" is threatened by an "out-group" — people part of a group they don't identify with — there's a chance they will dehumanize the out-group. "Adolescents are equally prone to having this in-group-out-group distinction" as adults are, Siegel said. "Essence" exacerbates the distinction, and that's what can be seen in the viral videos, he added. In these videos, there's evidence of "emotion they don't know how to control, collaboration where they give up morality to gain membership, novelty-seeking which drives them to do things that are really dangerous … and following ideals as they push against things that have them not think logically", Siegel said.
This is probably one of the most fanciful pieces of Jewish psychological quackery I've ever read, and I've read a lot of it. Now that we have footage covering the entirety of the episode in D.C., it's clear that the young men from Covington Catholic High School showed great restraint and emotional control in the face of provocation and abuse, and the "smirking" student can be seen on camera urging his (compliant) fellow students to maintain order and not engage with the Black Israelites or other provocateurs. Siegel, meanwhile, claims he sees evidence of "emotion they don't know how to control, collaboration where they give up morality to gain membership." This is just a Jewish intellectual activist refusing to look at the footage objectively, and thus presenting an entirely false picture in order to pathologize those he feels a pre-existing antagonism towards.
Siegel's nonsense, like a lot of Jewish pseudo-science, would be laughable if it wasn't so obviously malicious. Aside from his 'Essence' scam, Siegel operates a pro-diversity "mindfulness wheel of awareness" methodology designed to brainwash clients into abandoning any sense of ethnic identity. In an interview with Forbes, Siegel explains:
You want to expand your "circle of identity" so that within the phrase "like me" you include a lot of diversity. What I would say is the plane of possibility is accessed more when people integrate consciousness. People are too confined, so they are excessively differentiated and not accepting the value of other life forms including other humans that do not fit into that initial high plateau of identity. What has been fascinating about doing the wheel of awareness practice — and I think this is consistent with some of the research about reducing some of the implicit racial bias [editor's note: a field rife with failure to replicate] with mindfulness practices— is when people access the hub, they're gaining more access. They are more readily accessing the plane of possibility and in the plane, there is no racism. In the plane, there is this experience of reality that embraces the fluidity of identity. That is, "you" are made up of people who are not your racial background. You are people who don't speak your same language. You are people who of different religions. It's not just that they're different and that is okay. It's that you are both part of the same sea of potential or the plane of possibility. What has been beautiful about explaining this is that people get a feeling of relief that they can now basically be in a state of — and not to get too gooey — love and acceptance.
Dan Siegel: "You want to expand your "circle of identity" so that within the phrase "like me" you include a lot of diversity."

A Singularly Semitic Scandal: Avital Ronell and the Corruption of Western Academia
November 18, 2018 /25 Comments/in Featured Articles, Jewish Academic Activism /by Tobias Langdon
In Homage to Catalonia (1938), his memoir of the Spanish Civil War, George Orwell describes how his wife was rudely woken by a police-raid on the hotel room she was occupying in Barcelona:
In the small hours of the morning there was a pounding on the door, and six men marched in, switched on the light, and immediately took up various positions about the room, obviously agreed upon beforehand. They then searched both rooms (there was a bathroom attached) with inconceivable thoroughness. They sounded the walls, took up the mats, examined the floor, felt the curtains, probed under the bath and the radiator, emptied every drawer and suitcase and felt every garment and held it up to the light. (Homage to Catalonia, ch. 14)
The police conducted this search "in the recognized OGPU [then the Russian communist secret-police] or Gestapo style … for nearly two hours," Orwell says. He then notes that in "all this time they never searched the bed." His wife was still in it, you see, and although the police "were probably Communist Party members … they were also Spaniards, and to turn a woman out of bed was a little too much for them. This part of the job was silently dropped, making the whole search meaningless."
Orwell's story suggests a new word to me: typhlophthalmism, meaning "the practice of turning a blind eye to essential but inconvenient facts" (from Greek typhlos, "blind," + ophthalmos, "eye"). But it's a long word, so let's call it typhlism for short. Shorter is better, because the term could be used so often today. Orwell's story is an allegory of modern Western politics and social commentary, where so many essential but inconvenient facts are "silently dropped" from analysis. For example, the Labour MP Denis MacShane and the Labour council in Rotherham were typhlistic when, for reasons of political correctness, they turned a blind eye to the horrors being committed by brown-skinned Muslims against White working-class girls.
Looking for Mr Reitman
And if you want to see another good example of typhlism at work, try one of the strangest and funniest scandals ever to set the Owl of Minerva hooting in the groves of Academe. The two central figures in the scandal are the New York University (NYU) professor Avital Ronell (born 1952) and her former graduate student Nimrod Reitman (born c. 1984). Ms Ronell, a "feminist literary theorist," began her career studying with the enormously influential French philosopher Jacques Derrida and is now the Jacques Derrida Professor at the European Graduate School in Switzerland. As a sideline, she headed "the trauma and violence transdisciplinary studies program" at NYU. She is also a "self-defined lesbian," while Mr Reitman is a homosexual.
Academic star Avital Ronell
Their respective sexualities, although not of course funny in themselves, are an essential part of what has made the scandal so entertaining. Mr Reitman has accused Ms Ronell of a sustained campaign of sexual harassment, including two incidents in which his 66-year-old lesbian mentor pulled him into her bed and "put my hands onto her breasts, and was pressing herself — her buttocks — onto my crotch. She was kissing me, kissing my hands, kissing my torso." Read more

"Modify the standards of the in-group": On Jews and Mass Communications — Part Two of Two
September 25, 2018 /26 Comments/in Featured Articles, Jewish Academic Activism, Jewish Ethnic Networking /by Andrew Joyce, Ph.D.
"Millions of leaflets, pamphlets, cartoons, comic books, articles — and more recently radio and movie scripts — have been produced and disseminated in the propaganda war." Samuel H. Flowerman, Mass Propaganda in the War Against Bigotry, 1947.[1]
The Protocols of Samuel H. Flowerman
Samuel H. Flowerman, as Research Director at the American Jewish Committee, as colleague of the Institute for Social Research, and as a kind of hub for the expansive Jewish clique of mass communications scholars, was at the center of the drive to put Jewish "opinion research" initiatives into practical action. The clearest articulation of what this practical action would look like was articulated in his 1947 essay, "Mass Propaganda in the War Against Bigotry." Flowerman's foremost concern was that, although millions of dollars were being spent by organisations like the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League on propaganda, propaganda may not by itself be sufficient for the mass transformation of values in the host population — in particular, for the weakening of its ethnocentrism.
Flowerman begins by explaining the format and extent of existing efforts: "Millions of leaflets, pamphlets, cartoons, comic books, articles — and more recently radio and movie scripts — have been produced and disseminated in the propaganda war (429)." Flowerman's use of the language of warfare is of course interesting in itself and will be discussed further below. For now, we should focus on what Flowerman lists as the five aims of the "propaganda war":
1. "The restructuring of the attitudes of prejudiced individuals, or at least their neutralization."
2. "The restructuring of group values toward intolerance."
3. "The reinforcement of attitudes of those already committed to a democratic ideology perhaps by creating an illusion of universality or victory."
4. "The continued neutralisation of those whose attitudes are yet unstructured and who are deemed "safer" if they remain immune to symbols of bias."
5. "Off-setting the counter-symbols of intolerance." (429)
Flowerman concedes that the level of work and control required to achieve these aims would be extensive, and that the project was highly ambitious, seeking nothing less than "successful mass persuasion in the field of intergroup relations (429)." But he is equally clear in the conditions required for such success. Read more

Ezra Pound, Jewish Activism, and the Struggle for Cultural Memory
October 24, 2016 /44 Comments/in Featured Articles, Jewish Academic Activism /by Andrew Joyce, Ph.D.
"The terror of Pound for Kazin and the rest of us, if we are honest, is Pound's racism"
Theodore Weiss, The New York Review of Books, 1986.
I often take great pleasure from looking into the past and finding, among persons and works of great genius, ideas that we very closely share. It's not terribly difficult. Times have changed so dramatically, and the window of 'acceptable' ideas has so radically narrowed, that almost every great creative thinker of substance prior to the 1950s held socio-political views regarded as quasi-Fascistic by the current dispensation. Most of us will be aware, of course, that these broader cultural shifts have had extremely negative repercussions for the socio-historical legacy of such figures. In short, within a society all too keen to abolish the 'old White men' from the history books, such figures will be the first to go.
Against this ominous backdrop, a colleague and literary scholar recently felt the inclination to inform me that the great genius of literature Ezra Pound (1885–1972), who possessed a genuine and open sympathy for Fascism, is being slowly and insidiously exiled from college reading lists and school curricula. It should come as no great surprise to readers of the Occidental Observer that having been caged in a 'death cell' for his war-time affiliations, and driven first into a mental health hospital and then out of his country, Pound's punishment would continue posthumously with his relegation to anonymity. Where my friend erred, however, was in attributing the slow vanishing of Pound to an amorphous 'neoliberal' zeitgeist. As an 'armchair' fan of Modernist poetry for almost a decade, and an ethno-nationalist even longer, I've been more acutely aware of the specificities behind the degradation of the much-maligned poet. Far from being a recent phenomenon, I was also aware that the most important steps in Pound's marginalization had been put in place decades earlier. Having shared these specificities with my colleague, I now present them here for the consideration of our readership.
The process of annihilating a genius and his worldview from the cultural memory of his people is both straightforward and relatively commonplace. During the course of several research projects over the last decade, it became apparent to me that even where ideologically suspect cultural figures are permitted to remain under study, the socio-political ideas of these 'tainted' individuals, no matter how central to their character or intellectual worldview, are sequestered within their social and professional biographies, and often presented as unpleasant 'moral stains' upon an otherwise acceptable and productive life. An excellent example in this regard is W.J. McCormack's 2005 Blood Kindred: W.B. Yeats, The Life, The Death, The Politics, which endeavored to 'expose' and quarantine the Anglo-Irish poet's alleged "intense relationship" with Fascism and anti-Semitism. In this way, 'offending' but 'milder' figures like Yeats are made 'safe' for the young and impressionable White minds passing through our college systems. In the more 'extreme' cases, however, like that of the explicitly Fascist-affiliated Pound, these 'moral stains,' and the indignation they provoke, are deemed unmanageable and unforgiveable. They are amplified, and utilized in attempts to defame and degrade the cultural figure. The process of defamation and degradation eventually forces that figure out of acceptable public discussion and recognition, and thus into obscurity. Read more

40 Totally Useless Random Facts That Are Super Interesting – Part 198
1Sequoyah
In the 1820s a Cherokee named Sequoyah, impressed by European written languages, invented a writing system with 85 characters that was considered superior to the English alphabet. The Cherokee syllabary could be learned in a few weeks and by 1825 the majority of Cherokees could read and write.
2. In a medical first, a mother who received a uterus transplant in 2016 from a dead donor gave birth to a healthy baby in December 2017. After five months of the transplant, the uterus showed no sign of rejection, ultrasound scans were normal, and the woman was menstruating regularly. The fertilized eggs were implanted.
3. During World War 2, Russian soldiers took "heat pills" that kept them warm in the winter. However, they would also lose weight despite eating well. 2,4-dinitrophenol spikes metabolic rate as potential energy is lost as heat. It is banned as a weight loss aid in USA as overdose can cook people to death.
4. The American College of Pediatricians is a group that links pedophilia to homosexuality and promotes "conversion" therapy. Their name is intended to confuse people and associated them with the American Academy of Pediatrics, the professional association of pediatricians.
5. Abercrombie & Fitch offered $10,000 to cast members of "The Jersey Shore" if they'd agree to stop wearing the brand on the show.
6Spelling bee
Many non-English languages have no concept of a spelling bee because the spelling rules in those languages are too regular for good spelling to be impressive.
7. In 1887, a reporter named Nellie Bly talked her way into an insane asylum in New York and published her experience after ten days in the asylum. She claimed many of the patients seemed completely sane and the conditions were horrid. This led to NYC budgeting $1,000,000 to care of the insane.
8. A man was snorkeling off the coast of South Africa when an enormous Bryde's whale scooped him up in his mouth headfirst. The man felt pressure on his body but soon realized he was too big for the whale to swallow him whole which was "kind of instant relief." The whale spat him out unharmed.
9. Olives are essentially inedible when picked. It takes an extensive curing process for them to become edible, with no history of how an inedible fruit became such a popular fruit.
10. Simon & Garfunkel's first album was so unsuccessful on the charts that the duo split. Their producer took one of the songs from the album, overdubbed/remixed it without their knowledge or permission, and "The Sounds of Silence" became a hit. The duo made four more albums.
11Häagen-Dazs
"Häagen-Dazs" was completely made up by its Polish Jewish founders to sound Danish. The umlaut (¨) does not even exist in Danish and neither does the "zs" letter combination.
12. Chess960 is a game created by Bobby Fischer which uses the same board and pieces of regular chess, but randomly shuffles the home row to prevent players from relying on memorized strategies and instead rely on their own creativity.
13. In the US, production of alarm clocks was allowed in 1944, despite them containing brass needed for war materials, because workers kept missing their shifts due to a critical alarm clock shortage.
14. Radiotrophic fungi were discovered in 1991 growing inside and around the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in an environment in which the radiation level was 500 times higher than in the normal environment. This fungi converts gamma radiation into chemical energy for growth.
15. When the Prussians forbade the Danes from displaying their flag in the early 20th century, the Danes responded by creating a new breed of pig (Danish Protest Pig) that resembled the Danish flag and displayed it instead.
16Robert Leonard
Robert Leonard, the original bassist for the band 'Sha Na Na', after proofreading the band's contracts, realized he had a knack for critically examining language. He returned to school, received his M.A., MPhil, and Ph.D. from Columbia University and now works as a forensic linguist.
17. Lyndon Johnson's closest aide, Walter Jenkins, was forced to resign when he was arrested for gay sex. Johnson's wife publically supported Jenkins in a time when homosexuality was heavily scorned.
18. A 50-year-old woman named Violet Gibson attempted to assassinate Mussolini in 1927. She fired a gun once, but Mussolini moved his head and the shot hit his nose. She tried again, but the gun misfired. She was almost lynched by the crowd but was rescued by police and taken away for questioning.
19. Chiropractic was founded by a traveling religious miracle healer named Daniel David Palmer who believed that magnets could cure diseases. He was sent to jail in Iowa in 1906 for practicing medicine without a license. The American Medical Association later labeled chiropractors an "unscientific cult."
20. In 2007, a Russian company named Rossiya broadcasted television footage showcasing the Russians planting a flag at the bottom of the ocean in the North Pole. A 13-year-old boy from Finland noticed some of the footage the station used was from the film Titanic.
21Wolfgang Doeblin
Wolfgang Doeblin was a Jewish-German mathematician who started fighting for the French during World War 2 and committed suicide at the age of 25 after his company was surrounded. A sealed letter he sent to the French Academy of Sciences was opened in 2000, revealing he had already proven a famous result in stochastic calculus.
22. American writer E.B. White hated the Hanna-Barbera animated film adaptation of his novel Charlotte's Web, saying "The story is interrupted every few minutes so that somebody can sing a jolly song. I don't care much for jolly songs."
23. Queen Victoria was raised under a strict system called the Kensington System, created by her mother and Sir John Conroy. Her first two requests, upon her accession, were that she should be allowed an hour by herself and that her bed should be removed from her mother's room. She also banned Conroy.
24. J.R.R. Tolkien had been known to (as a practical joke) dress up as an ax-wielding Anglo-Saxon warrior and chase his neighbor down the street.
25. Hagfish slime expands by 10,000 times in a fraction of a second, it is 100,000 times softer than Jell-O and can fend off sharks.

Q: Quartz.net - How to skip to next_fire_time? I am using Quartz.net to run the job. I am not able to find a way to skip the current trigger and wait for next fire time..
I want to run my job everyday at 3 AM to 6 AM. But I want to stop running and wait for next day if I get the status that I want before 6 AM.
Here is the code that I try but doesn't work. Any idea how to fix it?
Program
        IScheduler scheduler = StdSchedulerFactory.GetDefaultScheduler();
        scheduler.Start();

        IJobDetail myjob = JobBuilder.Create<MyJob>()
                    .WithIdentity("MyJob")
                    .Build();

        ITrigger myTrigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
            .WithIdentity("MyTrigger")
            .WithDailyTimeIntervalSchedule(
                      x => x.StartingDailyAt(TimeOfDay.HourAndMinuteOfDay(3, 00))
                     .EndingDailyAt(TimeOfDay.HourMinuteAndSecondOfDay(6, 00, 00))
                     .WithIntervalInSeconds(10))
            .Build();

        scheduler.ScheduleJob(myjob , myTrigger );

MyJob
   public class MyJob: IInterruptableJob {

    static int i=0;

    public void Execute(IJobExecutionContext context) {

        Console.WriteLine("Call WebService to get the status");

        i++; //Just to simulate the status
        if (i > 5) {  //Here, I got the status so stop the timer and run at next-fire-time

             ITrigger myTrigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
            .WithIdentity("MyTrigger")
            .WithDailyTimeIntervalSchedule(
                      x => x.StartingDailyAt(TimeOfDay.HourAndMinuteOfDay(3, 00))
                     .EndingDailyAt(TimeOfDay.HourMinuteAndSecondOfDay(6, 00, 00))
                     .WithIntervalInSeconds(10))
            .Build();

            context.Scheduler.RescheduleJob(context.Trigger.Key, myTrigger );
        }

    public void Interrupt() {
        Console.WriteLine("Interrupt from MyJOb!");
    }
}

A: I found the solution.
I can't use this code below in MyJob class.
   context.Scheduler.RescheduleJob(context.Trigger.Key, myTrigger );

So, I have to change it like this..
   var scheduler = StdSchedulerFactory.GetDefaultScheduler();
   scheduler.RescheduleJob(context.Trigger.Key, aastarPreLoadTrigger);

But unfortunately, there is no support for async/await..
Note:
My new code fixed the rescheduling issue but didn't stop so I think I need to simple scheduler instead of daily timer and set the start date to next day.

A:         ITrigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
        .WithDailyTimeIntervalSchedule(
            x => x.StartingDailyAt(TimeOfDay.HourAndMinuteOfDay(iTimeFrom, iMinuteFrom))
                     .EndingDailyAt(TimeOfDay.HourAndMinuteOfDay(iTimeTo, iMinuteTo))
                     .WithIntervalInMinutes(iMinute)
                     .OnEveryDay()
                     )
        .Build();
        scheduler.ScheduleJob(job, trigger);

July U.S. manufacturing technology consumption totaled $149.51 million, according to AMTDA, the American Machine Tool Distributors Association, and AMT - The Association For Manufacturing Technology.
This total was up 9.2% from June but down 55.3% from the total of $334.14 million reported for July 2008.
With a year-to-date total of $910.42 million, 2009 is down 68.3% compared with 2008.
"We are pleased to see a third consecutive monthly increase in machine tool sales which indicates that we appear to be past the bottom," said Peter Borden, AMTDA President."However, we are well aware that the number of units is still far less than half of what it was a year ago. We are hoping the recent uptick will pave the way to a more solid recovery in the fourth quarter and into 2010."

What are the most reactive metals?
MeneerNask
The alkalimetals (group I of the periodic system).
All alkali metals have only one electron in their outer shell.
They 'want' to get rid of this to form a noble gas formation.
Since the positive nucleus still attracts even this maverick electron, it's easy to see that the farther away from the nucleus, the less attraction.
So we expect reactivity to go up while we move down the column of the periodic system.
#Li < Na < K < Rb < Cs < Fr# in reactivity.
When reacting with water, the electron goes to one of the hydrogen atoms in water to create (explosive) hydrogen gas.

The government has prioritised the Manufacturing Sector in the Big 4 Agenda primarily because, through local content provision, it functions as a support provider and catalyst for achievement of other pillars. In order to implement this efficiently, the President instructed all public procurement entities to increase the quota of locally produced goods towards effecting the Buy Kenya Build Kenya Policy.
However, what we are currently witnessing is an unfortunate increase in imported goods being procured by public entities. Government is reported to have tripled its imports to nearly Sh41.72 billion from 10.09 in 2013 to Sh18.15 billion in 2014.
So on one hand, we have an ambitious goal to increase the output of the manufacturing sector from the current 0.2 per cent annual growth to 36 per cent to achieve the Big Four agenda, but on the other hand our actions are contradictory and pulling in the opposite direction.
If we are to realize our development goals, we must stop being a consumer nation; we must produce. There is an urgent need for public entities to be deliberate about promoting local content beyond public declaration.
One way to do this is to develop a local content policy framework and a criteria to determine what is actually classified as locally manufactured or produced- as well as the methods through which this will be determined.
Critically, the scope of the above should consider, for instance, how much value addition should go into such a product? What policies should inform development of local content and what local value threshold should we adopt? The local content policy framework would address this and effectuate the Public Procurement Disposable Act which provides for 40% local preference.
The undisputed effect of a progressive local content policy is that it will stimulate use of local factors of production such as labour, capital, supply of goods and services, as well as create value in the domestic economy. This will, in turn, attract foreign investments stimulating employment creation, which is desperately needed in our country.
The ingredients to achieving this already exist. For example, manufacturers publish a list of locally available goods bi-annually.
This list should be adopted by Government and published in the Gazette each financial year for all ministries to adopt. Secondly, the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Regulations were developed jointly with private sector but have been pending for the past one year.
The Regulations had proposed margins of preference and reservations for local manufacturers and unbundling to enhance local sourcing. These need to be fast tracked.
Third, the realisation of local content in procurement should be included in the performance contracting of senior government officials to ensure commitment and monitoring. Lastly, and very important, prompt payment by National and Country Governments is paramount. Local, are discouraged from supplying to Government, due to late payments which disadvantage them and sometimes cripple their operations.
Other challenges on local procurement include, unfair competition from cheap imports, illicit trade and counterfeits, lack of information on tender opportunities, high bid bond on government tenders and a general misconception on the quality of locally produced goods.
Kenya needs to curb the current import Bill of over Sh1.2 billion and increase the export value from Sh600 billion to Sh1.8 billion in the next three years in order to expand the industrial sector and stabilise the economy. This is not possible if we do not immediately reverse the current importing trend. To do this, local content policy development and effective implementation of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act will need to be fast-tracked.

The filmmakers feared the studio might kill the project, about the real story behind the making of "Mary Poppins." Instead, Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson and director John Lee Hancock were given the keys to the Magic Kingdom.
This story first appeared in the Dec. 20 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
It was one of those purely serendipitous moments. British producer Alison Owen happened to be relaxing at Italy's Ischia Film Festival in summer 2011 when she struck up a conversation with the woman in the neighboring deck chair: Corky Hale, a jazz musician and the wife of songwriter Mike Stoller. Asked what she was working on, Owen, now 52, whose credits include 2008's The Other Boleyn Girl and 2011's Jane Eyre, began talking about Saving Mr. Banks, a script about Walt Disney's efforts to convince recalcitrant author P.L. Travers to allow him to make a movie based on her books about the quintessential governess, Mary Poppins.
The project originated with Australian producer Ian Collie, who was fascinated by the fact that, despite her proper British image, Travers was born in Australia. He had produced a 2002 TV documentary titled The Shadow of Mary Poppins and commissioned Sue Smith to write a screenplay, which he brought to Owen in hope of setting up a U.K.-Australia co-production. "The good news is that I could see there was a great story there waiting to get out, but the bad news was that telling the story was problematic because of the amount of intellectual property rights involved," says Owen. After all, if Walt Disney Studios turned the project down, there would be no way to take it to another company.
In retrospect, the producer needn't have worried. Disney ultimately would embrace Saving Mr. Banks, which opens in limited release Dec. 13 before going wide a week later. John Lee Hancock, 56, seeking a follow-up to his 2009 breakout hit The Blind Side, came aboard to direct the $35 million film. Disney CEO Robert Iger himself called Tom Hanks, 57, to urge him to play Walt -- and even toyed with having the actor impersonate the company's founder at a board meeting, though that stunt never came to pass. And Emma Thompson, 54, for her starchy portrayal of Travers -- who initially demands that any movie made from her books should have no songs, no animation and no use of the color red -- already is being touted for a best actress Oscar nomination.
But, as Owen explained to Hale while they enjoyed the Italian sun, when she decided to take on the project, it was a decided gamble. Using her own money along with funds from BBC Films, she hired fellow Brit Kelly Marcel, 39 -- then a TV writer, though since hired to write the screen adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey -- to rework Smith's screenplay, which took a biographical approach to Travers' life story. Marcel opted to focus on the author's two-week visit to Los Angeles in 1961, during which Disney poured on the charm, intercutting that encounter with scenes from Travers' Aussie childhood that centered on her love for her father, a charming but alcoholic bank clerk. "Luckily for us, Kelly knocked it out of the park on her first draft," says Owen. But, as she told Hale, she was nervous about taking it to Disney. If only, mused Owen, she could get the blessing of the Sherman brothers -- Richard and Robert, who wrote the enduring tunes for the 1964 film Mary Poppins -- so she could have them as allies.
Hancock, though, admits that when he first heard of the project, "I wasn't sure it would be my cup of tea -- pardon the pun." While a reading of the script quickly converted him, he also feared the Disney brass might become too involved. "I like those guys -- Sean, Alan Horn, Bob Iger -- a lot," says Hancock. "And I thought the script was a fair portrayal of Walt as a mogul but also as an artist and a human being. But I still had concerns that it could be whittled away. I don't think this script could have been developed within the walls of Disney -- it had to be developed outside. But Sean said: 'We think it's a fair portrayal of Walt. We really like the script.' I'm not going to say there weren't discussions, but the movie we ended up with is the one that was on the page."
In fact, Disney threw its archives open to the filmmakers, who discovered a wealth of material about the making of Mary Poppins, including 39 hours of audiotapes that Travers insisted be recorded to document her meetings with Richard and Robert Sherman (played in the new film by Jason Schwartzman and B.J. Novak, respectively) and screenwriter Don DaGradi (Bradley Whitford). Says Owen, "We were suddenly like kids in a candy store."
Production designer Michael Corenblith worked from more than 500 photos of Walt's office as well as a display of his office furniture shown recently in a special exhibit at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. "Walt was such a smart marketer and such a media-savvy guy," he says. "Next to the Oval Office, his office was the most iconic office in America" thanks to the introductions Disney filmed for his various weekly TV series, beginning in 1954 on ABC.
After immersing in all the Disney memorabilia they could absorb, the actors found their way into the characters. Hanks says his key to playing Disney was the fact that "there are a lot of places where he sort of is playing Walt Disney himself. He's charming everybody, performing the way people want him to be. But there are more naked elements when he's talking about his past -- there was true reflection there. I listened to some long interviews where he talks about his past, about growing up and the struggles of getting the studio started, and I think he might have paid more attention to the things that went wrong than the things that went right."
As for Thompson, she was intrigued by the standoff between Travers and Disney, "two people who are used to getting their own way. She has much less actual power and yet huge personal power, enough to stand there in a good pair of shoes and say no."
Only when Disney finally persuades Travers to accompany him to Disneyland does the author's frosty demeanor begin to thaw. To shoot those scenes, the filmmakers traveled to the Anaheim amusement park for two days. Travers' arrival at the Disneyland gate was shot beginning at 6:30 a.m., with 650 extras looking on as Hanks-as-Disney took his position at the front of the park to greet her.
Thompson could only marvel at the scene: "Tom is pretty much as well-known as Walt Disney was. The response of the crowd to Tom was very similar, I would imagine, to the response of the crowd to Walt Disney. There is something equally iconic." Owen, as she watched her gamble pay off, agreed: "To get somebody to play an American icon like Walt, we needed somebody who was pretty iconic themselves -- and it's hard to think of anybody who is better at that than Tom Hanks."

Apparently, the image quality of the Samsung Gear 360's output is partly dependent on which method you use to stitch it, as discovered by Markr041. Mark also uploaded a comparison between the Gear 360 and the Kodak SP360 4k. Hit the jump to check it out!
The Samsung Gear 360 video is not stitched in-camera. Instead, you need to stitch it with a compatible phone, or with the included Action Director software (or a 3rd party software if you prefer). If you stitch on an S7, you'll get the full 4k video resolution. But if you stitch it with a Samsung Galaxy S6 or Note 5, you'll be capped at 2k. So, realistically, you need to stitch either on an S7 or the Action Director.
"1. The original file produced in the camera is H265, at 32 Mbps. HEVC or H265 gives approximately the same quality as H264 at double the bitrate, so equivalent to about 64 Mbps H264 (about what the GoPro shoots in 4K).
2. When you save the file on the camera to the device (Samsung Galaxy S7) you get a stitched 360 file (equirectangular) that is H264, with a bitrate of 61 Mbps. The audio is AAC 192 kbps, at 48Hz.
3. You can also create a stitched file using the free Action Director software on the PC. Take the unstitched video files from the microsd card and load them on the PC.
Here is the related thread on DPReview.
I haven't verified either way (because I don't have an S7), so I don't know who is right or wrong about this issue.
"PSA: Action Director does not mangle your shots. The S7 does not offer significantly better stitching. That is a complete falsehood spread by bloggers and reposters who never investigated the issue – in fact the person that first came up with the theory never even compared the actual images, basing the whole thing on incomplete evidence and numbers that don't tell the whole story.
Higher compression ratios in h264, ie smaller files, require significantly more processing power which the S7 doesn't have. The higher bitrate that the s7 stitcher outputs is just a crutch to deliver decent quality with this reduced processing power. The Action Director software has more flops at it's disposal and is able to compress the footage much more efficiently. I've done many comparisons and Action Director does not add any artifacts that weren't already there in the double fisheye.
"Also, after further testing today I am convinced that the S7 stitched videos actually have lower image quality than the PC stitched files. The phone stitcher adds significant smoothing to the image that isn't there in the double fisheye, probably in an attempt to minimize artifacts from the much less efficient compression.

Hi everyone. I was not getting notifications anymore from Google comments, preventing me from responding, therefore I switched back to Blogger comments. Unfortunately this had the effect of deleting past comments from Google+. See here: http://360rumors.blogspot.com/2017/01/psa-thank-you-and-my-apologies-for-not.html Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This information applies to full-motion video, not timelapse where there is a bug in Action Director, and requires using the software in what may seem an unusual way in that you don't export from the software at all, just grab the stitched files from the program's working directory revealed in the settings. The program autostitches clips in the background as soon as you import them and saves them in the aforementioned working directory, just grab them from there a short time after importing and take them to other video editors at that point.
The user that originally posted this at dpreview, as well as the owner of this blog were both very very rude to me when I pointed out their mistake. I have been threatened with lawsuits over this. I expect this post to disappear like my previous one, but I am posting it many other places beyond their reach.

Hi In Film. I swear to God I am not attempting to censor you. The comments are disappearing by themselves, possibly through algorithms that have labeled your comments as spam or something. In fact I posted your point of view on the article itself, and I pointed that out to you. I also linked to the DPReview thread so everyone can discuss it.
Hi In Film. If I'm attempting to censor you does it make sense that I would quote you in the article and identify you by name so that people can see your perspective? How does that make sense?
To further prove that I am not trying to censor you, I will paste in the body of the article itself everything you have posted (which were emailed to me automatically). People can read and evaluate your comments by themselves. How's that?
Hi In Film, I cannot do anything about Blogger's algorithms. They are beyond my control. However, if you look at the article now, you can see I reposted all your comments. If I missed anything, pls. let me know. Thanks.
It's possible that because you have made several comments within a short time, Blogger automatically labeled it as spam. If you do want to discuss further, I recommend you continue the discussion on DPReview. AFAIK, Mark has not used any abusive words toward you the last time I checked.
The rudeness at DPreview occurred in private messaging.
Simon (I assume it's you and not one of your colleagues), I think we need to take a deep breath and calm down a bit. The 360/VR community is very small. It does no one any good to throw mud at each other, which is why you might have noticed I have not said a single disparaging word about In Film or your work.
Hi In Film. I anticipated that you would not agree with my summary of the events. Therefore I will post a link to the Ricoh thread where we had our discussion so everyone can evaluate for themselves. That's fair, isn't it?
Hi In Film. I don't expect you to believe me about why your posts are disappearing. [I do have a coauthor – I plan to ask him if he's the one who deleted your comments.] In any case, as you can see I reposted your previous comments on the article itself. I hope that you see that is evidence that I'm not trying to censor you.
Your blog is the the source of most of the corrections I have to make on this issue, so with your edits today I feel the discussion is more balanced and acceptable, and I will give it a rest.
Also, after further testing today I am convinced that the S7 stitched videos actually have lower image quality than the PC stitched files. The phone stitcher adds significant smoothing to the image that isn't there in the double fisheye, probably in an attempt to minimize artifacts from the much less efficient compression.
This could have the effect of fooling some viewers into thinking the phone stitch has better quality, when in actuality is has far less fine detail. You don't notice this unless you compare all 3 images, including the unstitched double fisheye.
Hi In Film. Thanks for looking further into it. If you want, I can post your test results, along with a link to your site. Just let me know.
Hi InFilm. Guess what. I was going through the spam comments and I found your comments there (the ones that disappeared). I've marked them as "not spam" and reposted them. I would like to see your test results.
This is fascinating. Love the nerdy detail. I use one of these for my law practice (to show 360 views of road conditions). I was a Samsung 360 early-adopter with the first international version. Then I got the v2 earlier this year. Any update for the Samsung 360 v2? Is it any different?
Hi Michael! I'm glad you enjoyed this post. I will be posting a multi-camera comparison that will include the 2017 Gear 360, 2016 Gear 360 and Kodak SP360 4K.

Private home at the Focke hill
At a former commercial area in Leipzig was built a residential building for a private builder.
The task was to work with the urban structures in the north and east, further to deal with the 1927 built Betlehem church with open space and the Au forest on the southern plot.
The architectural answere for this situation is a simple composition of cubic elements - in response to the ending heterogeneity of the city and contrasts with the naturalness of the forest. The orthogonality of the shape is also reflected in the open space design again . Organized lawns and planting fields form the opposition to the pristine nature of the Auforest.
The spatial response to the building task is 400 square meters of living space, about two and a half floors. The living room, kitchen and dining area are located on the ground floor. The development is based on the neighbors to reserve private lounges views of the Au forest. The south and west facades are opened by large sliding glass elements to enjoying the view over the forest.
The upper floors have a lot of room for sleeping quarters, bathroom and wellness areas. The garage has been built as a separate box to the eastern neighboring buildings, to ensuring complete privacy of the spacious terrace. In the protected side of the L-shaped building lays the swimming pool. Its water surface reflects the glass facade and emphasizes the horizontal orientation of the facade of the building.
The outer layer, made of laminate panels with metallic luster contrasts with the dark windows. The " black " frame emphasize each individual opening and support the orthogonal structure of the joints between the tiles, but not to confer a degree of visibility without massive construction.
The building is sustainably applied in principle: open to the south and west with large glass areas, closed to the north. That fits one hundred percent to the property on Fockenberg and also to the wishes of the client. A " dream " house as an adapter between nature and urban living.

Bad mood turning into frustration and a bit of the 'why me' blues and some 'When will the pain fricken end today'. I am in so much pain now, from fighting all day with semi-successful painkiller and then moving onto not at all successful ones. I'm not sure I am going to be able to sleep.
So here comes the whining post.
I have tried two T3 to get me to work halfway, then for the other half I turned to four Tylenol and three Advil at migraine strength. And now I wish I could bash my head against the wall, it is so friggin intense. My eye sockets feel like they have been gouged out, the light sensitivity was bad but now diminished, my hearing cut out then came back with a piercing ringing in them.
My chest hurts with piercing pain, which is not angina, but it likely chest wall pain for the fibromyalgia. The back of my neck is killing me, with spiking pain upward when I move. Or spiking pain from the left to the right when I move. Trying not to move my head. When I lay down it hurts even more. I can't try the new med yet as it would conflict with the Advil and my stomach already hurts.
So tomorrow, after what can only be a crappy sleep, I am going to try nothing. Non-medication day to chill the brain out. And a high pain day for me. To clear the other meds out, make sure I'm not rebounding… which is possible I rebound on T3s because of that codeine. When it hits that severe point, or if it does, I will try the anti-inflammatory and see if it works. If not, after how painful it got tonight, might have to go to the ER…. actually maybe I should and just ask for a prescription of Maxalt, I mean no Imitrex, just Maxalt, it might not have that effect and I get my abortive.
I am getting upset over the lack of control. Too much pain, too little to do about it. Means it will be a very tough week and I am so damn tired of trying to endure these things. And I am paingry, I don't care what they give me, as long as it works. I do remember a visit to the ER where I took an ergotamine, which made me severely nauseous, but it worked… so next time I should just as for that. Get a doctor note, go into work late, and say this is all I could do in order to come to work at all. Or use the Imitrex again and hope it is not as bad this time.
My shaky mood is not helping either. At a certain level of pain, my moods are all over the place, and not in any of the good places. High pain drops my mood like a rock. I guess this is normal. It isn't exactly fun to have such pain every day, but the mood issues are hard to manage.
