TAG is based on a true story. The movie was directed by Jeff Tomsic from a screenplay by Rob McKittrick and Mark Steilen. The screen story is by Mark Steilen, which is based on The Wall Street Journal article entitled "It Takes Planning, Caution to Avoid Being It," by Russell Adams. Tag features an ensemble cast led by Ed Helms, Jake Johnson, Annabelle Wallis, Hannibal Buress, Isla Fisher, Rashida Jones, Leslie Bibb, Jon Hamm and Jeremy Renner.
For one month every year, five highly competitive friends hit the ground running in a no-holds-barred game of tag they've been playing since the first grade—risking their necks, their jobs and their relationships to take each other down with the battle cry: "You're It!" This year, the game coincides with the wedding of their only undefeated player, which should finally make him an easy target. But he knows they're coming…and he's ready. Based on a true story, this outrageous comedy shows how far some guys will go to be the last man standing.
Tag follows this group of friends that get together once a year to play this childish game where they take it to a whole new level of insanity. There's this one player who's gone undefeated all these years and now he's getting married in the same month the game is always played in but that doesn't stop his friends from engaging the activity and dragging him in it anyway. They go against all the warnings to stay away from the wedding and even new rules/ammendments are created to justify and allow certain things to happen, or in this case not happen, so the game can still be played and the wedding go off without a histch.
What they quickly realize is that their friend is always a step or two ahead of them because even with eveything that's going on with the wedding preparations, he's like a ninja (or an Avenger!) when it comes to playing Tag. He plays along as he outmaneuvers and amazes his opponents as the game gets taken to a whole new over-the-top level which also reminds his friends why he's gone undefeated for all these years. What happens is, there's a little more going on than just getting these friends together for the annual game of Tag when an emotional and heartbraking curveball is thrown into the mix. This serves as a heartfelt reminder of why they do this and then the fun game continues on.
The packaging comes with a slipcover/o-card. The front features the artwork you see at the top of the page and the back includes movie details, some images and list of special features. Each disc has a red finish (Blu has a little artwork on it) and features the movie logo. Inserting the disc, the menu screen was simple and easy to navigate. The picture and sound quality for the high-definition disc were crisp and clear. The picture and sound quality for the standard-definition disc were really good. I didn't have any issues with the video and audio.
Bottom line is, Tag ended up being a really fun watch and it's amazing that it's actually based on a real story. Most high school friends go their separate ways but this small group found a way to stay in touch over the years by playing a simple game of Tag. As cool as the story is, there's an amazing cast assembled for Tag and their characters were all so much fun to follow because a lot of these guys and gals are so good at what they do – comedy! Tag even tugs on the viewer's heartstrings some so it's not all about playing this childish game because there's something a little emotional that gets introduced. Did I mention the game gets way out of control as the movie plays out? It does! This all-star comedy isn't packed with as much crude humor like some of the other recent comedies but it's still geared towards a more mature audience because of some of its content. All in all, I have to say that this one is one of my new favorites and it's also one of 2018's best comedy offerings. Tag is now available on a Blu-ray Combo Pack (plus DVD and Digital) and definitely worth checking out.
Special Features: The extras include a hilarious blooper reel, deleted scenes, a featurette that introduces the inspiration for the story and a digital copy of the movie.

Lady Panthers churn past LaFayette
Published 9:17 pm Saturday, January 20, 2018
LANETT — The Lanett High School girls basketball team shuffled out of the gates in its Jan. 5 meeting with rival LaFayette.
But after a slow start, the Lady Panthers rallied in the final quarter to claim a narrow victory.
Saturday's matchup lacked similar drama.
Lanett (8-4) built an early lead that it never relinquished en route to a 46-38 home triumph over Class 2A, Area 8 foe LaFayette (10-9).
Defense was key.
From the outset, Lady Panthers head coach Charlie Williams deployed a pesky zone defense that his opponent struggled to solve.
Turnovers, and points, followed.
"I just didn't want to get out to a slow start like we did in LaFayette," Williams said. "We got off to a real slow start, and that had a lot to do with the outcome of the last game."
Lanett led 7-3 after one quarter and 22-17 at intermission. Lady Panthers freshman Alyse Madden scored all six of her points in the second period to help her team maintain its edge. Lanett settled into an offensive rhythm it couldn't find in the opening frame.
But that didn't take Williams by surprise.
"It's a rivalry game, and I told them, 'The first quarter, it was going to be crazy, it was going to be hectic, because everyone's trying to kind of get their feet planted and find a rhythm,'" he said.
LaFayette freshman Feliah Greer trimmed her team's deficit to three, 26-23, midway through the third quarter after kissing a layup off the glass. The Lady Bulldogs never pulled closer.
Makyia Broughton answered immediately with a short field goal as Lanett opened a 33-25 advantage entering the final quarter. Her teammate, Ambria Jackson, took it from there.
Jackson, a junior, scored nine of her team-high 18 points in the fourth quarter. A 3 from the right corner stretched the lead to 12, 43-31, with 4:30 to play.
"I knew it was a big area game, so I just came out hard," Jackson said. "I think I hit some big shots."
The victory improved the Lady Panthers area record to 4-0. LaFayette dropped to 2-2.
"We came out and I felt like we were just so flat. We never got going," Lady Bulldogs head coach Michael Bratcher said. "At no stretch did I feel like we really played very good offensively or defensively. We had too many mental mistakes."
Greer posted a game-high 21 points for LaFayette, while Jasmine Pitts chipped in 10. Broughton contributed 11 points to join Jackson in double digits for Lanett.
Both teams will return to area action on Tuesday. Lanett will play at Reeltown, and LaFayette will host Horseshoe Bend.

A New Hope to Stem Global Mass Migration
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres attends the United Nations conference on migration on December 10, 2018, in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh. (Fethi Belaid/AFP/Getty Images)
By Ahmed Charai Tuesday, 11 December 2018 12:37 PM EST Current | Bio | Archive
The Global Compact for Migration (GCM), signed in Marrakech on December 10 in the presence of UN Secretary General António Guterres, is a landmark agreement aiming to address how governments manage the flow of people across borders. This holistic document is a step toward human dignity, and a blow to human traffickers — that is, smugglers — who are among the engines of slavery in modern times.
Undocumented migrants are often kidnapped, abused, and raped — or, at minimum, abandoned by the criminal networks they handsomely pay to shepherd them into a better life. The photo of a drowned Syrian Kurdish child washed up on a beach in Greece brought this tragedy into stark relief around the world. Who can accept that children die, or endure the trauma of the ordeal of smuggled migration?
The new pact has the potential to help protect such children. It also seeks to address the more complex economic, political, demographic, cultural, and environmental issues that lie behind the problem. But some European countries, as well as the United States, did not send representatives to Marrakech. These were primarily the countries in which a political leadership simply demands that the flow of migrants stop, without grappling with the causes that impel their movement.
Three continents — Africa, Asia, and South America — account for most of the world's undocumented migrants. They face sometimes-differing problems that yield the same result. Africa features rapidly growing populations, economic malaise, corrupt governments, and internecine strife. In Asia, countries including Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq have been devastated by unending war. In the likes of Honduras, Mexico, and El Salvador, "parallel states" and "parallel economies" pose their own development challenges. In all of the above, people are willing to risk their lives to reach lands in which they and their children can live safely, and perhaps enjoy some opportunity. Climatologists believe that "climate change" is meanwhile poised to add 200 million more people to the migration routes. No wall, and no repressive policies, can stop them. The only way to treat the roots of this problem is through international policies of development partnership — not charity, but support for local actors striving to improve their own societies.
In his speech to participants in the Marrakech gathering, Moroccan King Mohammed VI says that his own country has adopted a new approach that addresses both the legitimate concerns of states and the plight of migrants. He called for a compromise between border management and human rights. He also called for a socioeconomic development pact for Africa — in his view, the only way to tackle the root causes of the phenomenon.
Unfortunately, neither Europe nor the United States has developed a holistic strategy for Africa — even though economists widely agree that the "black continent" features many of the fastest growing economies in the world. "Co-development" offers not just to help stem the flow of migrants, but also to provide a boon to Western economies. But the latter advantage can only be achieved by stabilizing African countries and promoting good governance. The alternative — unprecedented new waves of mass migration, fractured societies, and burgeoning intolerance — is unconscionable.

How This Woman Put Her Life Back Together After Getting Run Over By A Truck
By Anulekha Venkatram
We've all said at some point, "I feel like I've been run over by a truck." A twenty-four-year-old named Katie McKenna was, and she survived.
Eight years ago, while Katie was riding her bicycle, she was run over by an 18-wheel-truck. Close to death and severely injured, her chances to walk again were very slim. Her injuries included a fractured pelvis in five places, broken ribs, a punctured lung, and an injury to her bladder. After being hospitalized for three months and living with her parents for another four, Katie rebuilt her life with her new body.
While she was in the hospital, Katie began writing How to Get Run Over By a Truck, a tale about what it's like to lose everything and start the path to recovery.
The resulting memoir is beautiful—it's shocking, heartbreaking, funny, dark, and brutally honest.
It's a must read for everyone.
If you've gone through your own personal trauma before, you will be in awe of how Katie pulled herself through every negative thought to become the person she is today. If you have loved ones in the hospital, you will appreciate her insight on how to treat them. If you're a health professional, you will be appalled at the depiction of our medical system, especially the psychological effects of low quality patient care on the healing process.
Katie's attitude to her new life after the accident can be summed up in these words:
"What I had now was better than nothing. I was ready to take it and be happy. Anything more that the universe was willing to give me, I was going to accept gratefully."
You can order Katie's book here.

Rising tide of opportunity still leaves Black workers behind
by Suzanne Kenney
Friday Mar 2, 2018
Recent news about the U.S. labor market bodes well for anyone looking for a job. At 4.1 percent, the unemployment rate is the lowest it's been in 18 years and workforce shortages are affecting every region of the country.
Missouri needs healthcare and hospitality workers. Kentucky and Arkansas need construction workers. On the west coast, there is a need for farm and factory workers. Wisconsin, facing a shortage of workers due to its three percent unemployment and an array of demographic changes, is trying to lure millennials--whose careers were stymied by the Great Recession--to abandon Chicago and move north with an ad campaign that focuses on the state's affordability and quality of life.
The need for workers has meant that people who've previously struggled to gain a foothold in the working world, such as recent immigrants who are still learning English, people with disabilities, and people with criminal records who are looking to make a fresh start, are getting hired.
But a tight labor market alone is not enough to dismantle the systems in place that have long held Black workers behind. For example, the unemployment rate for Black people has steadily fallen in recent years from a high of 16.5 percent in 2010 to 7.7 percent in January, yet that number is still more than double the 3.5 percent unemployment rate for White people. On top of that, as a recent New York Times story examining the Black unemployment rate noted, the average annual pay for a Black person working full time was a little less than $40,000 in 2016, while a full time white worker earned $52,000 on average.
The Times story notes what those of us who run workforce, community development, and prison reentry programs have long observed: decades of structural inequalities-segregated neighborhoods, substandard schools, disproportionate incarceration rates, and discrimination in hiring and pay-have hindered the earning potential of Black Americans. Even the pursuit of higher education does not guarantee equal opportunity: according to the Times, Black workers with graduate degrees are paid approximately 22 percent less than their similarly educated White peers.
What's needed are increased efforts by employers, business and civic leaders, philanthropists, and government agencies to not just create jobs, but to build a system that can leverage the tight labor market to overcome the racism that's baked into every facet of civic life. In Nevada, for example, in preparation for the Oakland Raiders' move from California to Las Vegas in 2020, the state agreed to partially finance the building of the Raiders' new stadium provided the team ensured maximum participation from the surrounding communities in the facility's design, construction and operation-including using minority and female workers to carry out at least 38 percent of the construction work, which began late last year. Builders have already exceeded their hiring targets, with minority and female workers having performed 46 percent of construction work hours thus far.
What Nevada lawmakers did is a good example of what's known as the "workforce pipeline"--infrastructure built on public-private partnerships, college and vocational education, coaching and mentoring initiatives, and professional development programs within growth industries like hospitality, building construction and healthcare.
The first step to fulfilling one's earning potential is a fair opportunity to work. We should all feel good that labor conditions are creating new opportunities for everyone. But the racism that's held Black workers behind is a pernicious and stubborn weight on opportunities for advancement. It will take many attempts at systems-level change, with the arrangement in Nevada just one example, to ensure that opportunity truly is available to all.

Tecmo – The Japanese developer and publisher responsible for such games as Ninja Gaiden, Fatal Frame, Dead or Alive and Rygar have made a somewhat bold claim.
Tecmo announced they're working on an as yet unnamed, platform-unspecific title, which they assert will be "the greatest _____ game ever" While they're keeping mum on the game, its genre and its destined platform, they have chosen where they'll make the official announcement. Announcing an Xbox 360 or Wii title at San Francisco's Playstation Store, while delightfully ironic, would just be intrinsically wrong, so we're pretty sure this is headed for one of Sony's platforms – although making this much fuss for a new PS2 game is unlikely.
While I dejectedly have my thumbs crossed for a new Bomb Jack, we'll have to wait until March 24 before we find out what the "the greatest _____ game ever" will be.
I hope it's not something ______, or I might have to get a rabid weasel, _____ it, then tie it to the end of a ______ and _______ . Or something. _______.


Xiaomi has launched a new external battery in China. This 20,000 mAh battery has the particularity of being able to charge laptops thanks to its USB Type-C 45W.
Xiaomi is not just a smartphone maker. The manufacturer offers a large catalog of products including external batteries that are very popular thanks to their excellent price / capacity ratio. The brand has quietly launched a new generation in China, Mi Power Bank 3.
This new battery sports a black dress, which denotes with the white usually used on the batteries of the mark. It offers a capacity of 20,000 mAh, which is not new: it was already the capacity of Mi Power Bank 2C. Connectivity side, there are two USB Type-A outputs, both capable of independently charging up to 18W (5V / 2.4A, or 9V / 2A or 12V / 1.5A) and 15W when both outputs are used simultaneously .
The real hero of this battery is mainly the USB type-C central, which manages up to 45W of power input and output. This means that it is possible to quickly charge this external battery with the proper charger, but especially that the Xiaomi external battery can charge more greedy devices like the Nintendo Switch, or laptops.
The Chinese brand also indicates on its website that the Dell XPS 13, Huawei Matebook, Apple Macbook Pro and of course the Mi Notebook can be loaded with Mi Power Bank 3.
The Mi Power Bank 3 is available in China today and should soon arrive on import circuits, pending a possible official marketing in France. Its introductory price is 200 yuan, or about 25 euros HT.

Out of the mouth of babes…
Back last March, Shop Girl was once again dared by evil Best Boy to reach into her magical Wardrobe/Art department bag of tricks and make an old-school space suit. It was for another Hey Josh where Josh Shipp was talking about all the things we dream about becoming when we are young and innocent – and how life sometimes beats the stuffing out of us and we become apathetic and cynical. Anyway, Shop Girl kicked it with this little guy's outfit – so much so…he just may grow up to be an astronaut.
I was looking through my iPhoto library to find anything that would be remotely patriotic and this is what I landed on. I will readily admit that my years living outside our American fishbowl and observing from the outside in for so many years, changed the way I felt about the Red, White and Blue. There is a reason that you can pick "us" out on foreign streets and it never made me want to wave that flag much. The first election that we tried to vote in from foreign soil had us turning in our passports for three days to get security checked before we could ever cast a ballot. That was the end of voting for me until a few years ago when my kids were all over my case for not participating.
By the time they were old enough to vote, they had spent two thirds of their lives on foreign soil. The rest they had spent trying to prove to their Spanish friends that they really were American. One time Best Boy buzzed me from the street level intercom asking me to throw his passport over the balcony so that he could prove to his friends that he really was American. That was a no-go. Number one – I didn't trust a 10 year old with his own passport…and most importantly, number two – I liked the alternate reality better – people thinking my kid WASN'T American.
But as usual – and we should know it's true by now – that out of the mouth of babes…comes a great deal of wisdom and hope. Passion for politics is NOT on my agenda even having been raised by a woman who was so passionate that I could barely walk when she'd drag me around doing canvassing and polling in the late 50's and early 60's. She was a precinct captain. I was also taken to a convention and sit here wondering if it was the 1960 Republican National Convention in Chicago where her fav, Barry Goldwater conceeded the nomination to Nixon. Bitter tears were shed in front of the little black and white console TV when that "Catholic" Kennedy won the next November.
So maybe I have some political baggage. I'd forgotten all of that till I just started writing this. I'm not exactly old enough to be saying, "I never thought I'd see the day…" but I never thought I'd see the day that I'd give a rat's behind about politics. But I sat in front of a TV (just a tad bigger and with higher definition than that console) last night with tears streaming down my face as the CNN cameras panned the faces in Chicago.
I feel like I carry some of that burden…I feel like I was an accomplice somehow…like some of that conservative blood is on my hands. Maybe it doesn't help that I just finished reading Frank Schaeffer's Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of it Back. (Interesting read, by the way…)
But I'd be fooling myself to not think that I was influenced by what I witnessed and perceived as I grew up and the mark left on me is not particularly the mark left on my siblings. That's what makes it my story. My unique set of markers that make me, me.
So, no apologies…not to my dear sweet 81 year old mother who prayed about it all and remembered, "I'm a Republican after all!" and that's how her ballot bore her mark. Mine is one of the tears and faces in last night's Chicago throng. How ironic that it would come full circle for me there yet again. I was raised in racial tension of Gary, IN and a child of White Flight.
I held my own kids captive for years in apathetic indifference, trying not to be an American but they have shown me a new way – a new hope – a new day. And for once in my life I can say I feel proud to be an American!

"Even though I am untrained in speech …" 2 Corinthians xi, 6.
Have you ever felt you are inadequate or ill-equipped for the task that God has called you to? Did you ever give up a vocation just because you did not have a special talent or intrinsic ability to perform well in that field? Have you ever used excuses such as "I don't have the skills for public speaking" to escape your duty to proclaim Christ?
The apostle Paul, in his most personal of all epistles, confessed that his critics were right – he was indeed untrained in oratory and he lacked the charismatic personality of leaders such as Apollos. Apollos' fans in Corinth admired Paul's letters but they despised his speeches. If Paul had not made such a confession, who in our times would have guessed that Paul lacked such training or inability?
When we read Luke's account of the early church, we get the impression that Paul was a great preacher. In all his missionary journeys, Paul was eager to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to any crowd, at any hour, at any place. Even though Barnabas was much senior to Paul in terms of his experience in the faith, Paul was regarded as the "chief speaker" in the team.
How did a man who was untrained in oratory skills become a firebrand preacher – at least by Luke's account? If Corinthian Christians could not respect Paul's presence or his speeches, what could the residents of various cities in the Roman empire have thought about him? They may not have been very impressed. Paul himself may not have been very impressed by his oratory. Yet, he preached Christ and redeemed every opportunity. What mattered to him was not the art of oration but the urgency of communicating the most important message on earth. He was like a man shouting "Fire!" Who has the time to think of grammar or idiom when he is warning occupants of a building on fire?
The good thing about Paul was that he knew his limitations. Yet, he did not use those as excuses – like Moses tried to – to escape from his God-given responsibility of proclaiming the gospel. When critics in the church despised him on account of his weaknesses, he did not succumb to self-pity. Neither did he yield to depression or isolation, thinking, "I'll never preach again." Instead, he took courage at the abilities God had given him. "Even though I am untrained in speech, yet I am not in knowledge." He wasn't going to let some Corinthians to walk all over him. He went on to give a list of his God-given abilities and spiritual experiences including visions and transport to the third heaven.
Dear Christian, do not allow negative criticism to overwhelm you. Use your weaknesses as stepping stones to greater achievements in Christ. What He can do through you in spite of your weaknesses is far greater than what you imagine. In the end, when you stand before God, He will honor you. While many trained and talented people do nothing for God, you are letting God do great things through your weak areas.

Gelatin is a substance found in the bones, skins and other connective tissues of animals. It is normally present in soups, stews and gravies, where it occurs naturally from cooking the meat and bones. Commercial gelatin is made from primarily from hides and hooves. It is refined and purified to remove any flavors, leaving only the gelatin protein. Home cooks will not be able to produce a clear and flavorless gelatin from bones, but simple simmering can produce a very strong gel with a mild flavor, suitable for use in soups or sauces.
Place the bones in a large stock pot with twice their weight of cold water. For 10 lbs. of bones, this would be approximately 5 gallons. Depending on the size and shape of the bones, it may be necessary to use slightly more water to keep them covered.
Bring the pot to a simmer. As the surface proteins on the bones coagulate, they will rise to the surface as a grey-brown film. This should be skimmed off regularly, until no more rises to the surface.
Simmer the bones for six to eight hours. If necessary, add small amounts of fresh water to keep the bones submerged until the end of the cooking time.
Remove the bones from the pot, and strain the liquid through several layers of cheesecloth to remove any solids. Skim off any fat that might be floating on the surface.
Return the liquid to the stovetop in a clean pot, and cook it at a low boil until it has reduced by half. Transfer to a smaller pot, and reduce by half again. Repeat twice more, until the quantity of liquid is 1/16th of its original volume.
Refrigerate the resulting liquid in a sterile sealer jar with an airtight lid. The liquid will congeal to a thick, rubbery consistency with a mild meat flavor. Use by melting it in a double boiler, stirring it into a small amount of boiling water, or adding it directly to soups and sauces.
To make the gelatin concentrate more neutral in flavor, "blanch" the bones by boiling them for five minutes, then changing the water and starting over. This washes away much of the loose protein and removes some of the beefy flavor.
Veal bones make stronger gelatin than beef bones, but are harder to find. The best bones to use are hip and "knuckle" bones, which include joints and their connective tissues.
The same procedure is used to make stock for soups and sauces. Add 5 lbs. of beef or veal shank or oxtail, as well as 2 lbs. of coarsely chopped onion and a 1 lb. each of chopped carrot and celery.
If you follow the same procedure to strain and reduce the stock, you'll end up with an intensely flavored beef gel, known in classic cuisine as "glace de viande." A teaspoon of this "glace" will add a distinct beef flavor to any sauce.

"We are shooting 'Terminator 6' in June to the middle of October," Schwarzenegger said.
"I am looking forward to coming back as the 'T-800' model.
"It's gonna' be great with Tim Miller as the director and Jim Cameron is kind of supervising the whole thing..."
...shooting on sets in Europe to replicate the setting of New Mexico, focusing on new character 'Dani Ramos' a teenage Mexican girl.
Assembling a 'writers room' , Cameron brought in screenwriter Billy Ray ("The Hunger Games"), David Goyer, Justin Rhodes, and Josh Friedman to craft the new script, with Ray 'polishing' the material, conceived by Cameron, Miller and Skydance founder David Ellison.
"...on the ethics of having a robot have its own kill decision possibilities..."
"Is there anything to be said that I haven't already said, and that would even be relevant in the 2020's ?
"I thought, 'Well, let's look at that'. I mean, a lot of the things that were science fiction in 'Terminator' are now around us…"
"The 'Terminator' films are all about artificial intelligence. But I would say we're looking at it differently than when I wrote the first story in 1982. That was just your classic 'technology bad, smart computers bad' kind of thing. Nowadays though — it's got to be a much more nuanced perspective.
"...based on a man whose 'DNA' was used to create the robot's human appearance.
"But who was this man, and what was his relationship to 'Skynet'?..."
"I think James Cameron and Tim Miller came up with a concept where they can continue on with the 'T-800' but make a whole new movie," said Schwarzenegger.
"What they are doing now with this one is basically to just take a few very basic characters, like Linda Hamilton's character and my character, and dismiss everything else.
"Just move away from all these rules of the timeline and other characters..."

2020: Marshall Islands highlights 'safety concerns'
The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) has submitted a paper to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Intersessional Working Group (ISWG) focusing on safety aspects regarding the implementation of the 2020 global fuel oil sulphur standard.
"The RMI's submission to the IMO provides technical information focusing on safety implications and challenges associated with using new fuel oil blends compliant with the new 0.50% sulphur fuel oil standard," it states.
"The technical information, detailed in the Annex to the submission, aims to cover a wide range of safety aspects associated with the switch to 2020 fuels such as potential issues with blend components, stability, compatibility and other fuel oil parameters.
"All of these issues are viewed as having the potential to negatively impact fuel and machinery systems.
"Accordingly, the technical information also touches upon operational and technical measures to address risks during fuel switching, tank cleaning and fuel system arrangements (heating capacities and tank segregation).
"The information is intended to facilitate informed decision making as the ISWG addresses preparatory and transitional issues."
According to RMI, the paper is intended to assist the ISWG in developing guidelines on the implementation of regulation 14.1.3 of MARPOL Annex VI.
The submission was co-sponsored by the Republic of Liberia, the Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO), the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners (INTERCARGO), the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners (INTERTANKO), and the World Shipping Council (WSC).
The co-sponsors recommend any consequential regulatory amendments and/or guidelines necessary to address the safety issues raised in the submission should be brought to the attention of the MEPC at its next session in October 2018.
They also propose any potential safety implications resulting from new blends or fuel types to be reported to the next session of the Marine Safety Committee (MSC) in December 2018.
"This paper allows the shipping community to have a voice in the development of rules that shape our industry," states Theo Xenakoudis, Director, Worldwide Business Operations, International Registries, Inc. (IRI).
"We are happy to be the catalyst for smart regulation that has been crafted with careful consideration from everyone it effects.
"Shipowners in particular will bear the impact of this transition and this will hopefully resolve some of the concerns about the regulation."

Putting pressure on Trump, House passes bill barring government from doing business with ZTE
By John Bowden - 05/24/18 12:06 PM EDT
The House on Thursday voted to cut off Chinese telecommunications company ZTE from U.S. business dealings, putting pressure on the firm and President Trump Donald John TrumpAmash responds to 'Send her back' chants at Trump rally: 'This is how history's worst episodes begin' McConnell: Trump 'on to something' with attacks on Dem congresswomen Trump blasts 'corrupt' Puerto Rico's leaders amid political crisis MORE.
The measure came as an amendment to the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which passed on a 351-66 vote, according to Bloomberg, would bar the federal government from using ZTE-made technology and would prevent the Defense Department from renewing contracts with vendors who do business with the company.
The move follows just days after a Senate panel overwhelmingly approved an amendment to block the president on ZTE. The Senate Banking Committee rebuked Trump's efforts to ease sanctions in an overwhelming and bipartisan 23-2 vote.
"If the president and his team won't follow through on tough sanctions against ZTE, it's up to Congress to ensure that it happens," Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement.
"Both parties have come together today to strongly rebuke ZTE and the administration's soft approach. This critical legislation along with the [Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States] reforms that it was added to are huge steps forward in our fight against the Chinese, and we should pass this legislation on the floor immediately," he said.
The tension between Trump and Congress comes weeks after the president declared his support for ZTE, saying that he supported easing restrictions on the firm as he seeks to hammer out a trade deal.
Earlier this month, Trump tweeted that he was "working together" with China's Xi Jinping to find a way for ZTE to get "back into business, fast."
"President Xi of China, and I, are working together to give massive Chinese phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business, fast. Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!" he tweeted.
After facing harsh criticism for his comments, the president doubled down on his remarks in support of the Chinese firm, which he said is part of his administration's larger efforts to secure a trade deal with China's government.
"ZTE, the large Chinese phone company, buys a big percentage of individual parts from U.S. companies. This is also reflective of the larger trade deal we are negotiating with China and my personal relationship with President Xi," Trump tweeted a day later.
Republicans and Democrats rallied against the president over his remarks in support of ZTE, pointing out national security concerns with the company, which is known to work closely with the Chinese government.
ZTE and Huawei, another Chinese firm, have faced intense scrutiny since a 2012 report from Congress warned that the companies' technology could be used by the Chinese government to conduct surveillance on the U.S.
"Problem with ZTE isn't jobs & trade, it's national security & espionage," Sen. Marco Rubio Marco Antonio RubioTrump may intervene in Pentagon cloud-computing contract: report Trump administration denies temporary immigrant status to Venezuelans in US Colombian official urges more help for Venezuelan migrants MORE (R-Fla.) tweeted earlier this month. "We are crazy to allow them to operate in U.S. without tighter restrictions."
The Commerce Department barred U.S. businesses from selling to ZTE last month after it discovered that the company had lied to investigators probing its business dealings with Iran and North Korea.

What is the best location to invest in Gwadar?
By Matt Harris
Anyone considering a property purchase in Gwadar will doubtless have spent time on research. A quick look at a map and some pictures on the internet can, however, only offer a very basic idea as to what's on offer here.
If you're looking to buy real estate in Gwadar but are unsure about specific locations, let us guide you in terms of your choices.
Where are the available Gwadar plots situated?
CPIC Global are market leaders in Gwadar real estate and were the first privately owned company to complete a successful property handover in the region. At present, CPIC Global are offering developments in two separate areas of the city and the choice between the two can depend on budget, as well as the particular needs of the buyer.
There is the option to buy plots in China Pak Golf Estates, a luxurious, gated community covering 6.7 million square feet of land. Alternatively, there is availability at International Port City Gwadar, but what factors do you need to take into account before committing to a purchase?
What are the key differences between the two locations?
You don't have to be a golfing enthusiast to enjoy living at China Pak Golf Estates although a love of the game may help to sway your decision. There is a top class, six hole course in development here but the overall theme is one of luxury.
China Pak Golf Estates will provide the most desirable address in the city as it offers all the amenities and facilities needed to supplement that luxurious and urban lifestyle.
The alternative is Port City Gwadar but what are the contrasts between the two? IPC Gwadar remains a gated community with an emphasis on security and on high class living. There are subtle differences between the two however with International Port City offering a wider range of housing, including a spread of apartments. In that sense, IPC provides more, in regards to affordability but the luxury element still applies.
Obviously, if you are purchasing with a view to letting a property rather than living in it yourself, then you will have to determine the needs of your respective tenants.
What should my next steps involve?
If you have any further questions, look out for CPIC Global's international property shows where virtual reality tours can provide more information about each separate location.
Alternatively, simply put a call through to CPIC Global or fill in the contact form for a swift call back. Advisers can discuss your individual needs and help you make the right choice between the two separate locations.
There is good news all round because there is a choice and, additionally, it shouldn't be a confusing one. International Port City Gwadar and China Pak Golf Estates each have something different to offer but in each case, the emphasis is on quality living.

SAC flies last continues "Looking Glass" airborne alert.
On 20 July 1990, after 29 years, 171 days of continuous airborne operations, the LOOKING GLASS recorded its last continuous airborne alert sortie. General John T. Chain announced the implementation of the new modified alert concept. This new posture marked the beginning of daily flight operations. Although continuous flight operations ceased, the basic mission of the 2 ACCS remained unchanged. The LOOKING GLASS continued to act as alternate command control element for the HQ SAC Command Center.

Welcome to the home of the 2ACCS
"Best Airborne Command & Control Squadron in the World"
The 2ACCS was the "Best Airborne Command & Control Squadron in the World". The "LOOKING GLASS" started flying 24 hour operations on February 3 1961. The mission was to maintain airborne alert status to take over if something was to happen for the Strategic Air Command (SAC) Command Center. A EC-135C maintained airborne alert status 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This WEB site is dedicated to those men and women that flew that mission
Hi, my name is Carl R. Brown. I flew as a Battle Staff member on the "LOOKING GLASS" EC-135C from 1986 to 1992 when the mission was flown by the Strategic Air Command (SAC), and again from 1995 to 1997 when the mission was flown by the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). I have built this web site so that other 2ACCS, PACCS, and WWABNRES Crew Dogs can keep in touch with each other and that others may see what we did for a living. Look over the site and see the History, Crew positions, Photos of the aircraft we flew on and some crashed in. If you have any photos or inputs for this site, contact me on Facebook, "Looking Glass" Group

If you were around in the 1980s and early 1990s, that should be etched into your memory. Even if you didn't know it was a film, the slogan reached far and wide and was a raised fist for AIDS activists. To know it was to understand no one should remain quiet when it came to fighting the scourge of that disease.
Even with its origins in AIDS and LGBTQ rights, Silence = Death has an overall meaning: not talking about a problem leads to disaster. And yet, even today, people can still willfully ignore any topic that makes them uncomfortable.
In 2017, the harassment and assault of women finally (and deservedly) became not just an issue, but a movement.
I posted the letter on my personal blog, The Huffington Post, and a couple other places. As soon as I put it on Facebook, I started getting positive reactions. One woman told me she was going to share it with her son; another messaged me privately. She said, "I love the message, and wanted to personally say thank you." She also noted she was sharing it on her page.
Then I got a message from a moderator of one of the websites I had posted it on. It is a website that promotes itself as being specifically about the importance of fatherhood, and how dads raise their children.
I wasn't upset—it's their website, they control the content—but I was disappointed. If a website implies that it's about fatherhood and raising kids correctly, shouldn't important topics of discussion be on the table?
Living inside a comfort zone is what we all strive for. But, every so often you should turn an eye toward reality. Face an ugly truth, if you will.
I have a son, and a daughter, and I'm going to have some unpleasant conversations with them. Do I want to discuss the topic of strangers on the internet and not taking naked pictures for boyfriends with my daughter? God no. But I'm going to, because I have to. I don't want her to have pictures online forever because she thought she was "in love" at age fifteen. Do I want to discuss condoms and masturbation with my son? God no. But again: I'm going to. I don't want him becoming a teenage dad, and he needs to know that when he's in the bathroom "combing his hair," hey, that's normal. There's no need to be embarrassed, because we all do it. Comb our hair, that is.
I'm going to talk to my kids about domestic violence, and how racism helped Donald Drumpf get elected. Two subjects that caused websites that claim to tackle "important topics" wince and send me, "this is too real for us" emails.
I'm not looking forward to these conversations, and I wish I didn't have to have them. But if I've learned anything in my life, it's that when we don't face down problems, they continue.
Or, to put it another way: Silence still equals death.

Discover North Yorkshire
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England's largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
The coastline offers its own treasures, from the fishing villages of Staithes and Robin Hood Bay to Scarborough, one time Regency spa and Victorian bathing resort. In the 1890s, the quaint but bustling town of Whitby provided inspiration for Bram Stoker, who set much of his novel, Dracula, in the town. Wizarding enthusiasts head to the village of Goathland, which is the setting for the Hogwarts Express stop at Hogsmeade station in the Harry Potter films.
York is a city of immense historical significance. It was capital of the British province under the Romans in AD 71, a Viking settlement in the 10th century, and in the Middle Ages its prosperity depended on the wool trade. Its city walls date from the 14th century and are among the finest in Europe. However, the gothic Minster, built between 1220 and 1470, is York's crowning glory.

As we know that, During roll forming, a flat strip is gradually formed to the finished sections, The forming is almost exclusively accomplished groups of rollers while the material go through the roll forming mill. This article will be talking about how roll forming machine design and the process.
Roll Forming Machine design aim is to form the desired sections repeatedly within a specified tolerance. Using the least amount of steps. Or in other word, with the least amount of rollers. "To quick" will distort the product while " Too slow" will make the machine uneconomical.
The cross-section of the roll formed product is the most significant factor in roll forming machine design. There are too many different simple or complex sections.
The depth of the section is the maximum vertical dimension of the profile as it exits from the last pass. Which has great influence on the number of rollers.
The width of the flat, nonformed section usually does not influence the number of passes. But the wider the flat (not formed) section and the thinner the material, the higher the chance that waviness will occur.
As usual, relatively shallow grooves are design to improve appearance, minimize center waviness or add strength to the product.And the grooves can be either formed or stretched into the flat area.
Product tolerances will affect the roll forming machine design, the number of passes, and thus the tooling costs.
The designer should ensure that the product can be roll formed with the bending radii before begin the roll forming machine design.
Materials are selected to suit the specified product requirements at the possible lowest price. However, the mechanical properties, surface, deviation from thickness, width, straightness, and flatness of the material will influence roll design.
strength, and elongation of the material to design the roll forming machine.
Springback will also affect the roll forming design, which is influenced by the yield stength of the material.
Flare is change of the ends of a roll formed product. And it usually flare out at both ends of deep or high strength material products.
The material must be able to pass through the gap between the rolls without thickness reduction. Therefore, roll gap is calculated as the sum of the maximum specified thickness plus maximum.
Width tolerance will obviously influence some dimensions of the product. And in the end, it will affect the roll forming machine design. And In most cases, the strip width tolerance will be added to the roll forming tolerance at the outside lip.
During roll forming machine design, it is assumed that the imcoming material does not have cable, bow and twist.
Rolls are designed to form the material and they must match the roll forming mill. And the roll designer must have all the relevant equipment dimensions and other data which can influence roll forming design.
The designer should take the maximum thickness, strength, and width of the material in consideration to established the shaft diameter. And then to design the roll forming machine.
Horizontal distance is the dimension from the shaft center to shaft center in the horizontal direction.
the top and bottom shafts. The vertical distance is usually adjustable by manual or by servo motor.
In most mills, the bottom shaft is in a fixed position and is not adjustable. The distance between the center of the shaft and the mill base constrains the maximum bottom roll diameter.
Top shaft drive will add friction, easy to pull and push the coils in the roll forming mill. But expensive and not must have.
Bottom Shaft drive is standard and normally used.
It is obvious that bigger motor will enlarge roll forming speed.
If the users' factory space is limited and want to change the rollers every 2-6 month. The designer should design and make the roll forming machine interchangeable.
Rollers are always designed to suit specific products within given conditions. But in some conditions the same rolls can be for multiple profiles.
In addition to the conventional forming rolls mounted on parallel, horizontal shafts, side rollers are frequently used for many forming operation. Side-rolls do the same work as the main rolls. Side-rolls are extensively and successfully used in tube forming and should be more widely used in roll forming machine.
The roll designer has to determine the pitch diameter of both top and bottom rolls, as well as calculate the minimum and maximum roll diameters.
The spacers and shims are part of the roll forming machine. At each shaft, the total lengths of the rollers, spacers and shims are equal to the roller space.
One of the most frequently asked question in the roll forming industry is the number of passes required to form a section.
What affect the number of stands?
As technology improved, many designers prefer to use Copra, etc design software as a tool to design the roll forming machines. Which will save many time and labor cost.
Believe Industry Company have an experienced team to design the machines. And the designs catch up to the latest techonology in the world.


Why use a sound professional for your video?
As film maker George Lucas said about a movie, "Sound is half the experience…sound is where you get the most bang for your buck." So why let your video only be halfway there? If you make any type of video, the soundtrack must not detract from the visuals. The soundtrack is the most overlooked element of a video, especially when time or money is short. That's usually because there's a misperception that hiring sound professionals is expensive, but it can actually be more expensive not to. For example, fixing and masking bad location sound can cost many times more than a sound mixer on the set would have. And your video might lack credibility if the soundtrack has problems. In a typical network television or cinema production, the budget for sound (excluding composer and musicians) averages only 8-15% of the total budget. You might have to cut back on craft services a little, but you'll be eating your competition's lunch with your awesome soundtrack.
Who uses Dynamix for their video soundtracks?
Producers who are always looking for an edge in reducing time and costs. Why pay your video editor to edit and mix the soundtrack at video editing rates? Let your video editor concentrate on finessing the picture, while Dynamix finesses the sound.
Video editors who know sound manipulation tools in editing programs are woefully lacking and grueling to use. Plus, an edit suite usually has a half dozen equipment fans whirring. Let Dynamix fine tune the sound, while you craft the video.
Directors who seek out creative professionals that can fulfill their vision. The soundtrack has to help tell the story, not draw attention to itself with distracting noises, low dialog, or rough edits. Let Dynamix take your creative vision to the next level.
Why should you use Dynamix for your next video soundtrack?
We combine the latest methods and technology with proven experience to craft soundtracks for moving images - it's our specialty. For over twenty-five years, owner Neil Kesterson has been a sound designer for film, video, television, theatre, games, web, and multimedia. Your project needs the individual attention to sound that only a professional can bring. Whether it's a music background, bigger than life sound effects, or just a simple narration, we can take your idea from infancy to reality.

AstaReal Technology opened its new manufacturing facility in Moses Lake on May 14th with a grand celebration attended by Washington State Governor Jay Inslee and community leaders from Grant County and the City of Moses Lake. The new 59.000 sq.ft plant is to be in full operation in July 2014 and will initially employ 45 people.
The new plant will together with AstaReal´s existing facility in Gustavsberg, Sweden, triples AstaReal´s group production capacity of natural astaxanthin. The production will rely on AstaReal´s unique in-door photo-bioreactor for cultivation of the alga Haematococcus under controlled conditions yielding the highest quality of natural astaxanthin available on the market. The increased capacity will allow the AstaReal group to offer a stable supply of AstaREAL®, natural astaxanthin, to its customers around the world. In addition, the factory site in Moses Lake, Washington has ample space for further expansion.
The City of Moses Lake in Grant County was identified after a global search and is a perfect match for AstaReal Technologies' new factory. Moses Lake offers a stable supply of pure water and renewable electrical energy; two resources that are critical to the success of the new facility. "AstaReal is honored to be a community member of Moses Lake, Grant County and Washington State, and expects the community will experience significant growth and development which it hopes to contribute to," said Mitsunori Nishida, president and CEO of Fuji Chemical Industry.
Numerous clinical studies conducted in humans have assessed AstaREAL®, natural astaxanthin's safety, bioavailability, and clinical aspects relevant to oxidative stress and the inflammatory process. Research shows that astaxanthin may be effective in helping to maintain cardiovascular health as well as supporting the body in its fight against metabolic syndrome conditions. The number of studies exploring astaxanthin's potential benefits has greatly increased during the last decade, to include research areas such as; eye health, hypertension, diabetes, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). "We see the 21st century as the era of anti-aging," said Mr. Nishida. "We believe that natural astaxanthin will play a key role in the advancement of anti-aging and lifestyle disease research."
AstaReal Technologies' parent company Fuji Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. was established in 1946, and is a global pharmaceutical company focusing on three main business areas including the production and sales of high performance pharmaceutical products, synthesis and manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and bulk products, and the production and sales of nutraceuticals. The Fuji Group currently sells its products in more than 20 countries and FY2013 sales exceeded 10 billion JPY. Fuji uses AstaREAL® as the global brand name for its natural astaxanthin business.
