Motion picture expert Dr. Siegfried Foessel named honorary professor at the University of Television and Film Munich
Media digitalization is his business. Dr. Siegfried Foessel is Head of the Moving Picture Technology department at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, and he shares his expertise with students at the University of Television and Film Munich (HFF). Now, HFF has made the motion picture expert an honorary professor. It will be his responsibility to integrate advances in technology into the curriculum.
Dr. Siegfried Foessel is Chair of the German TV and Film Technology Society (FKTG) and Chair in various standardization work groups like ISO and DIN.,. Since October 2018, he has also served as Head of the Technology department at HFF in Munich. For Siegfried Foessel it is important to give his students the benefit of his many years of international experience and expertise in digital cinema, video coding and AI-supported media workflows to prepare them for working with new media technologies.
"I think it's essential that student filmmakers should also be given the knowledge that will ideally put creativity and technology on equal footing as they compete to produce the best films," Foessel says. "The only way to generate good content is to know the requirements, possibilities and limitations of both disciplines."
As FKTG Chair, fellow of SMPTE and senior member of IEEE , Foessel sees himself as driving innovator within the sector, collaborating with media companies to make the industry fit for the future. Now that HFF has also been successful in the statewide competition to secure an AI professorship, Foessel is setting his sights firmly on maintaining and developing the media landscape in Bavaria and Germany, including in the international arena.
"Especially in times of rapid change within the film and media sector, HFF needs to keep its trained and exacting eye open to new developments that we can integrate into our curriculum," says HFF President Prof. Bettina Reitz. "Naming Dr. Foessel as an honorary professor promises to help us do just that."

Porsche Design watches go beyond a mere co-branding exercise and instead carry the design DNA and philosophy of the company's founder, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. There is no arguing that over its 40+-year history; it has produced some revolutionary, collectible and important watches.
To understand Porsche Design watches, you must, as with so many things, go back to its beginnings. In 1963, the Porsche car company introduced its latest model, the 911, at the Frankfurt Auto Show. The car was the successor to the brand's popular but aging model 356 and featured newer, more minimalist design language, penned by Ferdinand Alexander "Butzi" Porsche, the son of the company's founder. Of course, we don't need to remind anyone about the success of the 911 which, along with James Bond films, has endured as a true cultural icon that has evolved but still retains its perfect original form.
Form is an important concept to all designers. In 1972, he founded Porsche Design and his first product was a wristwatch.
It's hard to believe that before 1972, there were no black watches, given today's ubiquity of PVD, DLC and ceramic timepieces. So when Porsche Design introduced an austere chronograph in a black steel case with black bracelet, it was a sensation. 40+ years later, the watch still looks remarkably contemporary with its utilitarian, almost severe, layout.
The thoroughly modern P'6620 Dashboard Chronograph watch is a fine timepiece for daily wear. This watch is presented in a light-weight titanium case and features the signature simplistic look that we came to love since the industrial design subsidiary of the famous carmaker began to churn out its flawless objects of contemporary art.
Chronograph / Black dial with Arabic numerals, titanium case & bezel, black caoutchouc with folding buckle, 44 mm.

tyler mitchell: the boy who shook up the status quo
words by: Kirana Ardhia
It has been one hell (or heaven) of a season for Vogue. The moment they decided to make Beyoncé the cover star for their September issue, or also known as the most anticipated volume of the year, they knew they just had to give Queen Bey complete creative control over her appearance in the magazine. Meaning she would write her own "long-form captions," create A-to-Z planning about how the whole campaign would turn out and, most importantly, choose who will photograph her.
His name is Tyler Mitchell. He is 23 years old. And he just made history. As if being one of the youngest photographers to have shot the cover of Vogue is not remarkable enough of a feat (despite the fact that it is already 2018 and it shouldn't be), he is leaving legacies by being the first African-American photographer to ever achieve the unprecedented in the magazine's 126-year history (where in an alternate universe he also wouldn't be).
Before dedicating his career full time as a photographer and filmmaker in Brooklyn, New York, Tyler Mitchell was first a self-proclaimed skater. He started by making skate videos and shooting the music, fashion and youth culture scene in Atlanta, where he grew up.
Tyler is not a stranger to the Knowles family, as he has previously captured Solange's performance-art piece at the Hammer Museum. His impressive résumé also includes a long list of formidable names and publications as his clients: Spike Lee, actress Zazie Beetz, Lil Uzi Vert, The FADER, DAZED, Teen Vogue (for March for Our Lives feature) and brands like Nike, Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, Converse, among others.

Tyler takes real-life experiences as his main source of inspiration and his work in general often explores and captures black masculinity and youth in its most vulnerable and rawest moments. He imagines an idyllic state where black men could experience the same freedom as white men. In an interview with Vogue, Mitchell said that "For so long, black people have been considered things, we've been thingified physically, sexually, emotionally. With my work, I'm looking to revitalize and elevate the black body." In another interview with New York Times, Tyler stated that he "depicts black people and people of color in a really real and pure way."
There is something sublime about the pictures. A very ethereal setting, minimal make up, white linens, floral and gold headpieces. It is Tyler's aesthetic. There is always a sense of fantasy in his photographs – a utopian dreamlike space. Colors very vivid yet very subdued at the same time. It was clear what he wanted to portray: A woman, in her own confident beauty and feeling powerful. He was trying to be honest, and he succeeded at it.
So much more than just a cover of a magazine, it is an unfortunate reminder of how narrow the society's approach and view of the real world can be. It is also a celebration. He wants to create something that you have never quite seen before, he wants to use art to wake people up and it is truly a long overdue wake-up call. He is not looking to conform to the norm, and maybe a brilliant rebel is just what we need right now.

Since the dawn of that guy who tried to cut all women out of The Last Jedi, we've entered a new era of fandom. An era of thankless course correction, where anyone with a childhood sculpted by a certain piece of art gets to tell the artist how it really belongs to them, and they have notes.
The latest attempt to put a better smile on the Mona Lisa was a Kickstarter campaign to "Digitally Erase the Rat From the End of The Departed." While its $4,000 target was easily met, the effort has earned a cease-and-desist from Warner Brothers, not to mention the rumors that it was an elaborate mockery to begin with — the details stated the rat would be transplanted into Ratatouille, but anyone with a basic understanding of cinematic storytelling knows the extra screen time it would take to give him a proper arc and character development would leave the film feeling bloated.
So that one's off the table, but if you were considering putting your hard-earned money toward a still-active campaign to fix art, here are some other options we found on the internet and definitely did not make up.


Whenever Deas and I discussed our Oregon plans with anyone, inevitably someone recommended Crater Lake. Everyone kept telling us how beautiful it was, how amazing it was. I still wasn't overly motivated to go. Of course it would be beautiful. After all, lakes are pretty, right? What was so special about this particular lake? Well, we would soon find out.
The campsite we stayed in was on Diamond Lake, just about 10 miles north of the entrance to Crater Lake. Diamond Lake itself was pretty impressive. It's a huge campground, with lots of different loops and sites. Many of the sites are not suitable for RVs, but with a little scouting, we got a great campsite right on the water. There is a 15-mile paved bike/walking path that runs around the entire lake, and there was a pizza place that had Oregon craft beers on tap a mere 5 minute walk from our site. There were no hook-ups, but for $22 a night, we weren't complaining.
Below is the dock right behind the pizza place.
Deas reading on his iPad in our site, enjoying the last few moments of daylight.
The day after we set up camp at Diamond Lake, we planned a full day of driving around and exploring Crater Lake. We drove into the park in the morning, and pulled into the first scenic pull-out we came to. At this point we couldn't see the lake – we had to walk up a small hill to get a glimpse. I grabbed my camera, we crested the hill, and saw Crater Lake for the first time.
I promise you the pictures don't do it justice. It was gorgeous. It was so serene, so calm, so BLUE – I've never seen anything like it.
In case you don't know the history of Crater Lake, it used to be a huge volcano called Mt Mazama, which was higher than Mt Hood. The volcano erupted more than 7,000 years ago, and it was such a massive explosion that is blew the top right off of the mountain. There are no rivers flowing in or out of the lake – all of the water is from rain and melting snow. Because of this the water is incredibly pure.
At 1,943 feet, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States. You can take boat tours of the lake, and you can even swim in it, although I was told the water is incredibly cold. We didn't do the boat tour this time, and I wish we had. We'll definitely do it when we go back one day.
I think we stopped at every single scenic viewpoint there was – I took over 200 pictures! I just couldn't help it. Every view was just a little bit different, and every one took my breath away.
In the picture below I zoomed in on some of the rocks on the shoreline. That blue is the lake, not the sky! These pictures are not enhanced or photoshopped in any way – the water was really that blue.
Below is another zoomed-in shot of the shoreline – you can just see right through the water.
By early afternoon we made our way to the Crater Lake Lodge, and decided to have a glass of wine as we sat in the rocking chairs on the deck overlooking the lake. There were about 50 chairs, all full of people like us, enjoying a cocktail along with the view. The interesting thing was that even though there were 50 people with drinks in hand, it was very, very quiet. The lake has a calming, almost eerie effect on you. It's hard to describe, but you could feel it in the air – everyone was in awe of this incredible beauty in front of us.
Eventually the sun started to go down, and you could see the reflection of the rim in the water. A beautiful ending to a beautiful day.
Beautiful pictures! We loved Crater Lake, too AND we stayed at Diamond Lake. It was beautiful, but the mosquitoes were awful-it was early summer. The road was still closed half way around and the snow was 1-1/2 times Rich's height. We saw a bear come out of hibernation the day we were there-1st thought it was a huge sloth-it had some pounds to pack on!
We have heard the mosquitoes are awful during the summer. Luckily we were there late enough in the summer where it wasn't a problem. I bet seeing the snow at Crater Lake is beautiful – and how fun that you got to see a bear!
Crater Lake is amazing. My family went there when I was in high school. We took the boat ride around the lake and could see to the bottom the water was so clear. Definitely an amazing experience. Your pictures are beautiful. .
Thank you! I'm really disappointed we didn't do the boat ride – I've heard it's great. Next time we'll do it for sure!
Gorgeous! Crater Lake is our next stop and we are planning on staying at Diamond Lake so it was good to read a first-hand experience. Thanks for getting me excited!
Glad you are going to go! You'll love it. We had a pretty decent signal there too. We were in loop G – spot #37 I think. It was just barely big enough for our 35′ rig, but there were other bigger spots on the same loop. Can't wait to read about your visit!
Thank you! Yes, I would definitely add it to your bucket list – it was incredibly beautiful. Love your GSD by the way – we have a solid black one. They're amazing dogs.
Can't wait to get there! We're in the Black Hills, SD right now. unfortunately, we'll have to put this on our list for next time we're up north.
Great pictures! Thanks for that.
Hi guys, what 's going on? It's Bryan & Marianne. We got the house thing done and headed to beautiful Northern MI. We loved Crater Lake too.
Where are you headed next? We've been up here a month at Hearthside Grove in Petoskey. The most beautiful motorcoach resort so far. Heading south on Monday and hope to be in FL by New Year's Eve. Send us a line sometime.
We love Crater lake too. Steve biked around the crater and took him 4 hours to finish. I was just his lovely support for I back out at the last minute.


Those oranges and greens look so fresh against the brown background. What a great pattern and fresh fabric choices! Have you considered spiral quilting for this one?
I love the colours in this! As for quilting it. Do you want a softer look? Do you want the triangles to pop and background to recede?
Gorgeous! I think I'd quilt an fmq design in the background and then either leave the triangles unquilted or quilt a fun design in each of them.
Quilting could be a large spiral centered where all the triangles point, a grid / crosshatch of straight line quilting that is just offset from the seams, a pointy meander or a boxy meander... basically, I'm not sure there is too much you could do that would be wrong. Anything you have been wanting to practice or do just because you find it fun? I would probably go for a variegated thread or a thread that blends with the background, depending on what I had in my thread stash. Again, I don't think there is any wrong answer there, either. I am afraid I am not much help today!
Definitely bright orange for quilting.
Love the colours. You've had a lot of great ideas for quilting, I think it depends on what you want to showcase. I'd be tempted to let the colours pop. I can't wait to see what you do.
What a cool pattern. Gee, quilting is where I always get stuck too. If you want the quilting to pop, I'd choose orangy/amber thread. Sorry, no ideas for the actual quilting. Can't wait to see what you end up doing.
Love the simplicity of this, and that it's off center. Looking forward to seeing the finish!
I think you should accentuate the radiating squares (maybe because I just finished the TT flimsy I'm seeing this). What a cool pattern; don't think I've seen it before. I also like the spiral quilting idea too!
Gorgeous! I think something spirally would look good!
Lovely quilt! I would suggest and allover design or something simple, with gold or orange thread. Can't wait to see the finish! Thanks for linking up at Midweek Makers!

Q: How to resolve issue on assigning values to LINQ variable with Double ToDouble Method I have this line of code which works well
itemPrice = g.Sum<st_groupitem>((st_groupitem x) => x.item_price * x.item_qty) / g.Sum<st_groupitem>((st_groupitem x) => x.item_qty)

I want to round off the x.item_price * x.item_qty to 2 decimal numbers. So I changed the code to:
itemPrice = g.Sum<st_groupitem>((st_groupitem x) => Convert.ToDouble(String.Format("{0:0.0#}", Convert.ToDecimal(x.item_price * x.item_qty)))) / g.Sum<st_groupitem>((st_groupitem x) => x.item_qty)

But when I run the program, I encounter the following error:
LINQ to Entities does not recognize the method 'Double ToDouble(System.String)' method, and this method cannot be translated into a store expression.

Note: Given values such as price and quantity are in Double data type.
How can I resolve this?

A: One way to resolve this would be to use Math.Round on the result, rather than attempting to inline it within the LINQ.
Also, note that in my sample code below I have used decimal rather than double. When dealing with money you should always use decimal to prevent loss of precision when performing math operations.
HTH
The modification to your original line of code would look like this:
Math.Round(g.Sum<st_groupitem>((st_groupitem x) => x.item_price * x.item_qty) / g.Sum<st_groupitem>((st_groupitem x) => x.item_qty), 2)

And, here is sample code with a test:
[TestClass]
public class RoundingTest
{
    [TestMethod, TestCategory("Unit")]
    public void GivenTwoItems_WhenAskingToRound_ThenItShouldReturnCorrectValue()
    {
        // arrange
        List<Item> items = new List<Item>

DHL EXPRESS BREAKS GROUND ON NEW FACILITY IN WATERFALL
A 3D aerial render of DHL Express' new facility in Waterfall.
DHL Express' new world-class service centre facility will be built in Waterfall, Midrand. The greenfield project will be jointly developed by the SOM Group and Waterfall with an overall project commitment for the next 15 years of around R500 million.
"We are thrilled to announce this investment which truly affirms DHL's commitment to Africa, and more specifically, South Africa. South Africa is a key market for us, and this expansion will ensure that we continue to provide our ever-growing customer base with the best-in-class service quality which they have become accustomed to. We have experienced continued growth in inbound and outbound volumes, coupled with the accelerated rise of cross border e-commerce, which has necessitated this move", commented Jed Michaletos, MD of DHL Express South Africa.
"The new facility will make use of a drive-in model, thereby maximising productivity and increasing the volume of shipments processed daily to ensure faster delivery of shipments for our customers. The increased capacity will enable us to handle a double digit increase in shipments processed per hour and will allow further growth of up to triple digits if required", he added.
Coenie Bezuidenhout, Director of SOM Group said, "SOM and Waterfall, together with our team of design consultants and contractors, are proud to be associated with this prestigious project. The new DHL facility will be situated in one of the best logistics locations in South Africa and will also mark the establishment of a world class material handling facility. The construction has commenced on site and completion is scheduled for April 2023".
The facility will receive, process and transport inbound and outbound shipments to their intended destinations. The development will include an increase in floor space and advancements in technology and processes as well as material handling equipment, which will omit manual handling of shipments and facilitate direct loading of shipments.
The facility will be constructed in line with Deutsche Post DHL Group goals to reduce all logistics-related emissions to net zero by the year 2050 and will meet DHL's global requirements from an operational and future expansion perspective. There will be measures put in place within the facility to reduce its overall energy consumption by use of water recycling capabilities and solar power systems.
"We believe that to achieve growth, we need to ensure that we have world-class facilities. The upgrades to our network operations and ongoing expansion will assist us in meeting these expectations while maintaining our excellent service standard," concluded Michaletos.

District leaders said recent collective bargaining efforts between the district and local associations have resulted in an increase of human resource costs of over $8.7 million.
MOSES LAKE, Wash. — The Moses Lake School District announced Tuesday that it is one of the several districts across the state working on a plan to reduce staffing.
Superintendent Dr. Joshua Meek said the district's goal is to preserve as many positions as possible while it works to become financially stable. He said this will be done by not filling or replacing some vacated positions created by retirement or resignation.
He said the district will increase some class sizes.
Recent changes to state funding and levy limitations altered the financial outlook of the district, according to district spokesperson McKenna Bruner.
Since 2018, the district lost $11,791,980 of revenue to fund and operate the district, Bruner said. The 2018 levy collected $17,946,309 and the 2019 Levy is only collecting $6,154,329.
"While it is factual that the state has increased their allocation funding in lieu of the loss in levy dollars, the way the district can utilize that funding is extremely limited. Many of the funds have specific programs that limit and provide guidelines as to how those dollars are spent. It is important to note that the financial impact of the state's response to the McCleary decision not only impacts our teachers, but it will also have an impact on our ability to fund administration and support staff," Bruner said in a press release.
Bruner said recent collective bargaining efforts between the district and local unions have resulted in an increase of human resource costs of over $8.7 million. The state allocation for teachers gives Moses Lake School District $69,433 per full time teacher but the average salary for teachers in the district is $81,935.
According to Bruner, student enrollment is another factor impacting the districts budget. The district saw an enrollment increase of 1.5 percent over the past 4 years.
Bruner said the numbers impact the allocated stated school funding.
District leaders said undesignated district reserves stand at 2.3 percent of the overall budgeted expenditures. They said current school district policy expects a 12.5 percent undesignated district reserve.
The district has not announced any layoffs.

There are many companies taking advantage of innovative new technologies. With most markets being affected by the rise of the internet in one way or another, many successful companies have shown a willingness to embrace these new rapid advancements. Through drastic changes and overhauls, many companies have been able to drastically cut on costs by removing unnecessary departments and employees, postage, and have saved millions of dollars in stationary costs. These companies have also been able to improve customer experience and customer service through the ease of communication that the internet allows. One such company is BT.
BT, also known as BT Group, is a communication service provider based in London. Operating in over 180 countries worldwide, BT provides everything from television to phone packages for its customers. As such, BT as a company has not only taken advantage of new rising technologies, it provides them as an internet service provider. With different packages, such as BT Broadband, a great package for households or apartments with two residents or less. They also offer BT Infinity which is a great package for families. BT Infinity can provide entire households with an internet connection strong to stream multiple videos in high definition. They also offer an unlimited broadband package where customers are able to have an unlimited usage of their broadband connection. With these options, customers can choose which package best suits their needs.
BT also provides high definition television for broadband customers. With three packages to choose from, customers can pick and choose which features suit them most. The Entertainment Starter package offers a YouView box, the ability to pause and rewind shows, but lacks the ability to record them for later viewing, and 100 channels. The Entertainment Plus package offers YouView+, the ability to pause and rewind, and records up to 300 hours' worth of television, and 110 channels. The final package is named Total Entertainment. The Total Entertainment package consists of Ultra HD YouView+, the ability to pause and rewind, and a whopping 600 hours of recordable television. The total entertainment package offers 141 channels, with 21 channels in high definition. Each package offers optional extra features such as Netflix, Sky Sports 1, Sky Sports 2, Sky Cinema, BT TV Kids, BT TV HD, and BT Music.
With all of these products, BT also offers mobile and landline phone services. BT Mobile offers popular cell phones brands such as Samsung, Apple, Sony, and Google. BT's landline services are included in the Infinity internet package, but are charged separately with their Broadband Internet package.
With the rise in internet usage and reliance, companies such as BT will be the leaders in innovation and integration of new technologies.

SmackDown: April 11 2014
Next Gallery 12 Monkeys: Sneak Peek
Come closer and listen, it's that time of year, when the wrestlers of Sckackdown share the story of the Exodus from Egypt.
It's the ultimate underdog story of a people of small number and meek stature toppling a true behemoth of a foe.
And emerging triumphant, though constantantly vigilant, as they navigate their way through the annuls of history and remember the glories and tragedies of their people.
Long ago, in the land of Egypt, a wicked pharoah essentially laid the Smack Down on the Jewish people.
They strained and struggled under the weight of their burdens. Until one mother could not bear to see her child suffer due only to his heritage. So, she laid him in a basket and sent him down the river where he would be discovered by an Egyptian princess and raised as royalty.
Having seen the cruel treatment of the Jewish people, this boy now grown called Moses, after a brief run in with a burning bush, demanded that the Pharoah release his slaves. Predictably, this request was not met with compliance, and Moses was forced to unleash a stream of plagues to make his point, not least of which being the release of wild beasts throgh Pharoahs city.
With Pharoahs begrudged blessing, Moses urged his people to hurry away from their homes and into the desert.
Realizing the financial strain of compensating his labor force, Pharoah threw a sucker punch and sent his army to bring Mose sand his people back under his subjugation - a move that came so quickly that there was no time for the fleeing slaves to let the bread that would sustain them on their journey to a new home rise.
But Moses, backed by divine favor, had an ace up his sleeve. With the thump of his staff against the banks of the Red Sea, Moses willed its water to part, creating a pathway to liberty and leaving the Pharoah and his forced without a paddle, literally.
Better luck next time Egypt!

This Week (And Next Week) in Milwaukee: Dec. 26-Jan. 8, 2019
by Shepherd Express Staff
Photo credit: Justin Harris
Slow Walker
Despite a dip due to the New Year, there are plenty of opportunities to go out and have fun in the next two weeks in Milwaukee. If you're looking for New Year's Eve, check out our annual Milwaukee New Year's Eve Guide here.
Winter Week @ Museum of Wisconsin Art
From Thursday until Sunday, Dec. 29, enjoy a great string of events that range from family friendly Winter Creation Stations to talks by canoe paddler Timothy Bauer who shares his Wisconsin water adventures. Artist Tom Uttech will speak of travel, his artistic process and what it's like to be a contemporary landscape painter today.
Holiday Stand-Up Comedy Show @ Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co., 8 p.m.
The show features noteworthy comics. Jeff Spankowski's quick jokes and rapid punchlines make him a hit with audiences across the Midwest. Beneath Chris Schmidt's polite facade beats the heart of a savage joke writer, as evidenced by his warped wordplay and twisted punchlines. Mike Berg's comedy focuses on growing up middle class during late-stage capitalism. Topics typically covered include being a proud member of the boomerang generation, fast-food Twitter beefs and existential malaise. Judd Reminger tells outrageous stories and the corny short jokes of a self-proclaimed narcissist.
Truly alternative music is celebrated at Cactus Club with these five bands. Meat Wave are driving up from Chicago but will face stiff competition from Milwaukee DIYer So Zuppy and the dynamic Saebra & Carlyle. A backroom with this smorgasbord of sounds begs the question: If those walls could talk, what would they reveal?
Gabriel Harris Band @ Fire on Water, 7 p.m.
This Water Street club could easily become one of this city's finest. Booking acts playing original music is always welcome. Case in point: Gabriel Harris Band's groove and guitar sound.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra—'Christmas Eve and Other Stories' @ Fiserv Forum, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra will be bringing its Winter Tour 2019 back to Milwaukee, boasting all-new staging and effects in the show that started it all, "Christmas Eve and Other Stories." It played to 12,000 people in five cities in 1999, eventually playing to 9 million fans over the course of 12 years.
BoDeans @ Northern Lights Theater, 8 p.m.
Three decades on, led by original member Kurt Neumann, the band that has roots in Waukesha returns to Wisconsin to play the Northern Lights Theater at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino.
The Goddamn Gallows w/ Primativs, Zör and Cashed @ X-Ray Arcade, 7 p.m.
The world-famous, train-hoppin' hobos shack up at X-Ray Arcade for an unpredictable night of punk-rock gutterbilly, aka hobocore, aka gypsy-punk, with "a new strange recipe of seamless genre-bending profundities."
Saturday, Dec. 28
Dr. Noah's Ark—A Night of Stories and Songs to Benefit Underserved Local Animals @ Linneman's Riverwest Inn, 7:30 p.m.
Shorewood veterinarian Noah Arnold started a foundation called Save the Forlorn World (abbreviated as Save the F'n World) to help supplement the costs of care local underserved pets need. For this gig, Arnold will perform original songs and share stories about the animals his organization is helping.
Tree Down Yet? @ Circle A, 8 p.m.
For the last Saturday of the decade, the plan is simple: three bands, no waiting. The in-your-face roar of Resist Her Transistor will be followed by one horse town's mercurial songwriting and Spud Bucket's timeless sound. In fact, Spud Bucket's "Fraction of a Reaction" has recently gotten airplay on East Orange's WFMU-FM.
Donna Woodall @ Blu Bar & Lounge in the Pfister Hotel, 8 p.m.
Singer-songwriter Donna Woodall's blues, jazz and "soulful folk" could be compared to a blend of Carole King and Cassandra Wilson.
Polka Open Jam @ Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall, 7 p.m.
The weekly event is scheduled as always, despite falling on the first day of the new year. Bring your accordion or concertina and kick up that lively polka rhythm at a venue that is as much Milwaukee history as an episode of "Around the Corner with John McGivern."
Albert Lee @ Shank Hall, 8 p.m.
Guitarist Albert Lee played with Emmylou Harris, the Everly Brothers and—here's the clincher—Eric Clapton. He started in the '60s in London alongside the likes of Jimmy Page, and he carved a niche as a virtuoso player in country and country-rock circles.
Saturday, Jan. 4
Miles Nielsen and The Rusted Hearts @ Shank Hall, 8 p.m.
Rockford, Ill., has long been one of the heartland's rock music hubs. Rockford's Miles Nielsen has a heritage behind him as well—he's the son of Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, but he has gone his own way musically with a soulful rock band that draws inspiration from the '60s through the '00s. Milwaukee's superb Mike Benign Compulsion opens the show.
Bandoleer Bacall w/ Not the Cops and Loud Library @ Company Brewing, 10 p.m.
Bandoleer Bacall's Bandcamp page pegs their sound in the vicinity of great, lost, homemade, four-track recordings of yesteryear. Not the Cops, on the other hand, add healthy doses of driving cacophony to their music. Loud Library offer up a melodic pop approach with experimental touches.
'My First and Last Film' @ The Sugar Maple, 4 p.m.
Milwaukeean Tracy Thomas' debut film looks at life after 60. With the documentary, she discovers that "risks are meant to be taken, fear is something to push aside." Her subjects share their wisdom that age is just a number. (Also, Sunday, Jan. 5, at 3 p.m.)
American Blues w/ Billy Flynn, EG McDaniel, Jimi Schutte @ Caroline's Jazz Club, 7:30 p.m.
Green Bay native Billy Flynn took a liking to the sound of Chicago Blues music in the '70s. Since then, the guitarist has played and recorded with a long list of performers including Jimmy Dawkins and Otis Rush. Bassist Greg McDaniel, son of iconic guitarist Floyd McDaniel and Bessie Jackson, has shared the stage with the likes of Junior Wells and Buddy Guy. Jimi Schutte played drums with Luther Allison early in his career and has worked with Jim Liban for two decades.
Yacht w/ Juiceboxxx @ X-Ray Arcade, 7:3 p.m.
Yacht, the Grammy-nominated dance-poppers from Los Angeles, and Milwaukee rapper Juiceboxxx offer up an all-ages, mid-week mind-melting spectacle.

Jet Li Frustrated That His Hollywood Films Can't Get Past China Censors
One of China's biggest stars, Jet Li, has spoken out against the heavy film censorship in his homeland which means many Hollywood films never make it into cinemas.
Li, who started making films in Hong Kong before moving to Hollywood, hit out on his blog. He said the need for realism, insisted on by censors, left "only the ancient Chinese stories to be produced".
The actor said: "I remember back after I finished filming The Bodyguard from Beijing, the movie was banned from China due to the fact that, in reality there would be no situation as depicted in the film."
Former kung fu champion Li has seen a string of his Hollywood films banned in his home country. In 2000 Romeo Must Die did not make it past the censors because it featured gangsters, whilst 2001's Kiss of the Dragon was blocked because Li's Chinese policeman character is seen to kill people abroad.
The strictness of Chinese censorship only allows an average of 20 foreign films to be shown officially each year, and those which do make it through can be heavily cut.
One of the year's biggest hits, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, saw the screen time of one of its main characters halved. Chow Yun-fat's character, Captain Sao Feng, was targeted because the depiction of a bald and scarred pirate was seen as anti-Chinese.
"It is my hope that audiences can mature and develop to see the difference between a movie and real life; not everything needs to be realistic," said Li.

TasteTV's ninth annual San Francisco International Chocolate Salon drew a huge choco-craving crowd to San Francisco's Fort Mason yesterday. It was fun to meet some East Bay-based dessert-makers among the dozens who were exhibiting and offering samples of their sweet wares.
Heinz Rimann first became interested in food as a child watching his mother shop at farm stands in rural Switzerland. After immigrating to the US as an adult, Rimann ran a tea shop in Los Angeles. This gave him he idea of infusing his beloved chocolate -- hey, he's Swiss -- with the flavors of fine tea. His award-winning Tea Room chocolate bars are subtle and exquisitely smooth. Favorites include Jasmine Milk Chocolate and Green Earl Grey Dark Chocolate.
Representing lovely Lafayette, but doing her actual baking in breezy Berkeley, Christine Falatico Frey is the founder of CiCi's Italian Butterhorns. She grew up watching her grandma rolling and baking these soft cookies with just a hint of crunch, and the same family recipe forms the basis for the chocolate butterhorns and classic Italian butterhorns that Frey bakes in small batches today. Her lemon cookies and anise cookies are melt-in-the-mouth marvelous too.
Dan Galvin creates his lustrous silk-screened Quail Point Chocolates in the Napa Valley, but he grew up in Orinda and worked for many years in Berkeley -- in the technology industry, with chocolates as an ever-more-important sideline. Handmade in small batches with additive- and hormone-free ingredients, his QPC truffles sport gorgeous lacy designs. Galvin's clients include English nobility and Emeryville's Pixar, for which he created a special selection.

Heinrich: $774K going to small business efforts - Albuquerque Journal
Heinrich: $774K going to small business efforts
By Matthew Narvaiz / Journal Staff Writer
Sen. Martin Heinrich shakes hands with Kerry Marler, director of operations of Etkie, at the WESST Enterprise Center in Albuquerque on Wednesday. (Chancey Bush/Journal)
New hires for an organization. Helping Native American artisans get their work on e-commerce sites. Those are just some of the areas in which small businesses organizations are planning to use federal money they received through the Omnibus Appropriations Agreement for fiscal year 2023.
At a Wednesday press conference, Sen. Martin Heinrich announced $774,000 for small business organizations — including WESST, the New Mexico Minority Business Development Agency Business Center and the New Mexico Small Business Development Center — to help with small business development, particularly in underserved communities.
"Each of these awards is important, but what it's really about is it's growing our economy in the state to fully take advantage of all the talent that we have, of all the entrepreneurship that we have and grow those to their potential," Heinrich said. "And then our entire state really reaps the rewards of that."
WESST, an organization that aids in business incubation, consulting, training and access to capital, received the largest slice of the federal funding, including $233,000 for the hiring of bilingual business trainers for a new center in Hobbs; $80,000 to hire a project manager for the organization's Money Learning Lab; and $78,000 for a statewide director for its craft entrepreneurship initiatives.
Agnes Noonan, the president of WESST, said at Wednesday's news conference that the money will help with the organization's efforts in southeastern New Mexico.

"The demographics of Hobbs have changed incredibly," Noonan said. "There are many … native speaking Spanish speakers who are looking for help, and we intend to provide it."
The New Mexico Minority Business Development Agency Business Center, led by Gabriela Marques, received $200,000 to hire two full-time business advisers.
The New Mexico Small Business Development Center received $125,000 to help Native American business owners create their own e-commerce sites, and $58,000 for entrepreneurship training for incarcerated individuals.
Russell Wyrick, the state director for the NMSBDC, said it was the second consecutive fiscal year the organization had received federal funding for its initiatives.
"This e-commerce project funded for both fiscal years will help these artisans receive true value for their work rather than having to sell it at a super discounted (rate) and not reap the benefits," Wyrick said.

You could get access to extra cash when you need it with a business overdraft.
Managing cash flow is a vital part of running a business successfully. However, sometimes you need access to some extra cash to help you cover a range of ongoing business expenses and keep trading normally. This is where a business overdraft comes in handy, designed to help provide cash flow relief when you need it the most.
A business overdraft is a revolving line of credit businesses can have access to when they need access to funds. For example, you may be waiting on payment from clients for completed projects, but you still need to be able to pay the bills and other ongoing business expenses.
A business overdraft can be useful to a wide range of businesses, as it offers the security and confidence that comes with knowing you will have the cash you need to pay suppliers and employees. It can also be used to expand your business or let you negotiate better terms on purchases by enabling you to afford larger upfront purchases.
A business overdraft is typically linked to the business transaction account you hold with your financial provider. It is a revolving line of credit that offers fast access to funds when you need them.
Business overdrafts are available in secured or unsecured form and with fixed or variable interest rates. There is typically no minimum or maximum term and you can tailor a flexible repayment schedule to fit perfectly with your budget.
What are the types of business overdraft?
Secured loan. A secured loan requires you to offer an asset as security for the loan, which works to reduce the risk a lender faces by allowing you to access funds. By offering something as security, you can usually enjoy access to lower interest rates than on an unsecured loan and may also be able to take advantage of fewer fees.
Unsecured loan. An unsecured loan does not require you to offer anything as security. As a result, you can typically expect higher interest rates and fees than on a secured loan because you pose more of a risk to lenders.
How do I compare business overdrafts?
Secured or unsecured. Do you want to offer an asset as security for your loan or not?
Interest rate. The lower the interest rate, the less you'll have to pay in interest charges on the amount you spend. You can also choose between the security of a fixed rate and the potential savings possibilities a variable rate offers.
Fees. Make sure to look at the fees and charges attached to every competing business overdraft. Look for application fees, annual fees and any other ongoing fees.
Repayment options. What repayment options does your business overdraft offer? Do you need to stick to a rigid repayment plan or is there any flexibility built in? Look for an overdraft that lets you tailor repayments to suit your budget.
Loan term. Some business overdrafts don't feature any minimum or maximum loan term at all, while others will require you to pay the loan off over a period of at least 12 months. Make sure to check the term on each business overdraft you are considering.
Extra security. A business overdraft gives you the peace of mind of knowing you can access funds when you need them.
Flexible repayments. Overdrafts allow you to pay off the amount you can, whenever you can—with no fixed repayment schedule—as long as you stay under an agreed limit on your account.
Many uses. You can use the funds in your overdraft account for many purposes, ranging from paying suppliers to looking to expand your business.
Higher fees. Overdrafts tend to carry higher interest rates and fees than many other loans.
As business overdrafts tend to attract higher interest rates and fees than other lending products, you need to be wary of getting into too much debt. It's also vital to familiarise yourself with all the fees and charges attached to an overdraft before signing up.
Another common issue is that many products allow the lender to recall the overdraft at any time. This can be highly inconvenient for business owners.
Do I need to offer an asset as security? Not necessarily. Business overdrafts are available in secured and unsecured form.
What is the purpose of a business overdraft? Overdrafts are designed to help you manage business cash flow, offering quick access to funds when you need them.
What can I use the funds for? This is up to you. You might wish to use the funds to pay urgent expenses, expand your business or even negotiate better deals with suppliers.
Is it necessary to own a business to set up an overdraft with my bank?
To apply for a business overdraft account you will need to provide your ABN and other business documentation.

Biografi
Konrad Simonsson var son till vice organisten Peter Simonsson och Hedvig Carolina Törnbom. Han kom till Västra Skrukeby 1854 och till Norrköping 1860. Han studerade vid Kungliga Akademien för de fria konsterna i Stockholm 1867–1873.

Simonsson hade elever som förberedde sig för inträde i Konstakademien men han verkade också som friluftsmålare och målade landskap i romantiskt-realistisk stil. Exempelvis "Höstlandskap" 1889, där en röd stuga i en risig träddunge kombinerats med en idyllisk segelbåt. Han gjorde även blyertsteckningar som "Hogstads kyrka med närmaste omgivningar", 1879.

Simonsson finns representerad bland annat i Östergötlands länsmuseum i Linköping, Nationalmuseum i Stockholm och Uppsala universitetsbibliotek.

Broadband provider Verizon Communications has filed a lawsuit challenging the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's authority to enforce net neutrality rules.
Verizon filed the lawsuit Thursday in Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, the company said. The FCC voted Dec. 21 to prohibit broadband providers from selectively blocking or slowing Web content and applications.
Verizon is committed to preserving an open Internet, Michael Glover, Verizon's senior vice president and deputy general counsel, said in a statement. But the lawsuit comes after a "careful review" of the FCC order, he said.
"We are deeply concerned by the FCC's assertion of broad authority for sweeping new regulation of broadband networks and the Internet itself," he added. "We believe this assertion of authority goes well beyond any authority provided by Congress, and creates uncertainty for the communications industry, innovators, investors and consumers."


Although the giraffes get a major amount of attention, the zoo is full of other wild creatures to admire. We loved walking through the exhibits and taking in the views.
After the zoo, we drove over to Manitou Springs and walked the little historic mainstreet. We stopped at a new place called Suzy Q's BBQ for lunch. After refueling we drove up to Woodland Park to see Paradox Beer Company, which is one of Jason's favorites. We drove back down into the Springs and had a quick drive through Garden of Gods before hoping back onto I-25. We got home at about 4PM and I must say the day far exceeded my expectations. We really had a great time.

The Black Knights will be back in action on Saturday, November 14 at 12 p.m. ET at Yulman Stadium in New Orleans vs. Tulane. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+, with Joel Meyers and Brian Kinchen on the call. The Black Knights are riding a four-game winning streak into Saturday's contest. The Black Knights are 1-1 on the road this year, with a loss at nationally ranked Cincinnati (September 26) and a win at UTSA (October 17). The game will also be broadcast live on the Army Sports Network by Rich DeMarco and Dean Darling on the call. Fans can follow along on TuneIn Radio starting with the Tailgate Show at 10 a.m. ET. For the third-straight week the Black Knights are ranked in the Top 25 of the Coaches Poll. After sitting at No. 22 last week, the Black Knights are at No. 25 after being idle the past two weeks.
This is just the fourth time since 1970 that Army has won at least six games in its first seven tilts. The Black Knights started the 1996 season with a 7-0 record. They opened the 1985 and 1988 seasons with a 6-1 record. The Black Knights are set to take the gridiron for the first time since October 24. After a bye week (October 31), Army had last week's contest vs. Air Force postponed due to COVID-19 cases at the Air Force Academy. This is 16th season where Army has had four different players have a 100-yard rushing game. Four of those seasons have occurred in the Monken era (2020, 2019, 2017, 2015). Read more.

This 'one thing leads to another' YouTube phenomenon is getting a bit out of hand, but I couldn't help wondering if there was anything from the Tornados, to go with the Rebel Rousers, brought to you earlier. And I think we have found one of the most bizarre music videos ever made. Enjoy if you dare.


You don't even need to have the sound on get what this new Dierks Bentley song is all about. It's about living, and there's no better way to demonstrate that than with this ultimate father-son video starring Bentley and his youngest, Knox.
I've had a five-year-old son, so I know exactly what those days are like: when you've stepped on Legos, jumped on trampolines, wrestled in the back yard, splashed around a water park, done some karate, played with puppies, suited up for a joust, learned to ride a scooter, gone for ice cream* and then collapsed on the couch at home before you wake up and do it all over again the very next day.
Bentley wrote the song with Ross Copperman, Ashley Gorley and Jon Nite, and he shot the video in Nashville with longtime director and collaborator Wes Edwards.
* This is THE BEST SCENE in the video, watching Bentley watch Knox flirt with the ice cream girl at Cotton and Snow.


THE PUNISHMENT OF RACIST ACTS COMMITTED AGAINST AFRO-ECUADORIANS: REALITY OR IMPUNITY?
Ecuador is considered a mestizo country because it is founded by the mixture of races. The notion of Ecuador as a multicultural country reinforces the ideology of racial democracy in a diverse society because ideally everybody regardless of race, gender and ethnicity has the same opportunities as well as equality before the law and judicial protection. The problem is that Afro-Ecuadorians constitute a minority, but they are over-represented in unemployment, incarceration rates and poverty, many more than other ethnic minorities. Moreover, Afro-Ecuadorians are more likely to face discriminatory practices used by whites and mestizos. Since 1979 discrimination based race was condemned in the Criminal Code, and then the 2008 Constitution of Ecuador established more dispositions to combat any form of discrimination. However, from 1979 to the present the Ecuadorian criminal justice system has never convicted anyone for Crimes of Racial Discrimination or Hate Crimes. In effect, this thesis analyzes how racial bias operates in the criminal justice system, and the lack of enforcement of laws and state mechanisms on behalf of Afro-Ecuadorians.
