Where there is a will: How a tailor's son cracked the hallowed grounds of IAS
A poor youngster from the Bhind district of Madhya Pradesh, who overcame massive odds to emerge successful in the all-important Civil Services examinations, has proved that poverty is not an impediment to success.
Nirish Rajput (31), son of Virendra Rajput, a tailor, failed the civil service examination three times but never lost heart. The fourth time, he passed with a rank of 370 and has been selected for the Indian Administrative Service.
Nirish's story is inspiring not because he did not lose heart but also because he comes from a very poor background. He lives in a 15 by 40 feet (300 square feet) house in village Mau in Gohad tehsil of the district and worked odd jobs – even as a newspaper hawker – to realize his dream of becoming an IAS officer.
Once, Nirish went with a considerably rich and respected family friend to Uttrakhand to help them set up a coaching institute with a promise they would help him by providing material to prepare for his Civil Services examinations. But two years later, after the coaching institute started paying rich dividends, he was insulted, disgraced and literally thrown out.
"What is your worth? You are good for nothing. We no longer want you", that were the last words I heard from the members of that educated and rich family, said Nirish. "Next moment, I was jobless, homeless, penniless and remained hungry for a week, till help came to me", he narrated.
> The incident changed the course of Nirish.
"I did not know how to become an IAS officer but I knew clearing the country's top examinations can change my fortune", he said, adding that poverty cannot be a hurdle if one has determination and is willing work hard.
One day Nirish left for Delhi to study. "In Delhi, I became friendly with Ankit, who was preparing for competitive exams. I started living with him at Delhi's Mukherjee Nagar and studied 18 hours a day. I did not attend any coaching classes nor pay any hefty fees. I studied from the books and notes of Ankit," he said.
He studied from a government school and a modest college in Gwalior. His father and two elder brothers, who are contractual teachers, started investing most of their savings, energy and courage to make Nirish's dream come true.
"It has also proved the impression that students from public schools alone can do well in these exams is a myth," he said.
> The House and family
Virendra's (72) ramshackle house in a non-descript village in Bhind district has suddenly become the attraction of the entire neighborhood. Popularly known as ustaad in the village for his hand-to-hand combat style (aiming to hold the opponent down against the floor) in the Akharas, Virendra, a father of three sons and a daughter, had lived with only one dream – to give his children an education.
After the demise of Nirish's mother, it is the father who is keeping the children's spirit alive. "My father has told me not be dishearted and to reappear in the entrance exam in the next year", he added.
"Even when my mother was alive, I never saw them disgusted and heard them grumbling for poverty that has stricken our family," he said.

Across the Border of Interoperability
By Ken Terry, iHealthBeat Contributing Reporter | October 27, 2014
Some electronic health record vendors are creating challenges for providers by restricting the kinds of Direct messages their customers can receive or making it hard to open their attachments. According to several sources, Epic Systems, the largest EHR company in the U.S., permits its users to receive only Direct messages that have clinical data architecture (CDA) attachments. Read More »
An Epic conflict of interest
Pejman Yousefzadeh | The Daily Caller | December 27, 2011
Meet Judy Faulkner. She is the founder and CEO of Epic Systems Corporation in Wisconsin. She is also a member of the GAO Health Information Technology Policy Committee and an advisory board member of the Journal of Healthcare Information Management. She is also politically active...The $787 billion stimulus bill signed into law by President Obama in February 2009 included $19 billion for healthcare information technology (HIT), and created the Health IT Policy Committee, whose job it was to advise the federal government on spending the $19 billion allocation. The committee was to have one member responsible for representing information technology vendors. Judy Faulkner was designated as that member.
Closed Records, EHR Decertification and the DoD
By Edmund Billings, MD | February 10, 2015
In anticipation of House of Cards Season 4, and with all due respect to the show's creators, I think real life is giving us a perfect plotline that includes politicians, corporate interests, their lobbyists and a big fat government contract. Maybe Francis and Claire have me seeing conspiracies everywhere, but it seems a chain of recent health IT events have created intrigue in what is historically our staid, conservative industry. Follow the timeline with me and decide for yourself if I'm hearing black helicopters.

Crony Capitalist Epic Systems Gets Rich by Manipulating Stimulus Timeline
Pejman Yousefzadeh | All Fired Up Media | February 27, 2012
Newspapers and bloggers have spilled a lot of real and digital ink in recent months over the Department of Energy's controversial stimulus-created loan guarantee program, the now-defunct green tech firm Solyndra, and its wealthy benefactor/Obama campaign bundler George Kaiser. Too few are paying attention to the government's push for widespread health information technology adoption, funded in large part by the stimulus bill, and key industry players exerting influence over the policy process for personal benefit. If you haven't yet heard of Wisconsin-based Epic Systems and its CEO Judith Faulkner, pay attention.

Mother Jones piece hits Epic hard: 5 criticisms of the EHR vendor
Akanksha Jayanthi | Becker's Health IT and CIO Review | October 26, 2015
For a company that is notorious for its lack of media interaction, Epic Systems often finds itself in headlines, for better or for worse. The latest Epic media storm was delivered by a Mother Jones piece in which the author criticized the vendor and the health IT marketplace as failing in its mission to help patients and save money through digitization. Author Patrick Caldwell wrote the healthcare industry has largely underachieved in its goal to digitize medical records and cut waste and costs associated with paper records.

Task force summarizes barriers, mulls recommendations to improve EHR data sharing
Marla Durben Hirsch | FierceEMR | August 25, 2015
Patient care coordination is the "key driver" to data sharing, but there are challenges to accomplishing that goal, according to the Health IT Policy Committee's task force on clinical, technical, organizational and financial barriers to interoperability. In its Aug. 25 meeting, the task force summarized information from hearings held earlier in the month regarding obstacles to electronic health record interoperability. Some of the major barriers to interoperability include the cost to interface, the lack of standards, the lack of infrastructure and platforms for interoperability, and the lack of a forum to pull together stakeholders.

Future of PNW
Purdue University Calumet, who is merging with Purdue University North Central and will become Purdue University Northwest later in this academic year, is on the verge of making application for membership in the NCAA Division II for the 2016 cycle. Applications are due by February 1, 2016. Much of the final decision will be based on the hopeful acceptance of membership of the future Purdue Northwest by the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference by January 2016.
Purdue Calumet is currently a member of the NAIA and the Chicagoland Athletic Conference; but with the growth of their institution and the completion of the Dowling Park Athletic Complex, the institution feels that, moving forward, it is time to align with schools that look and function as they do.
Over the past decade there has been the same type of growth in athletics as in the university as the department now currently sponsors 12 intercollegiate sports and plans to add women's golf during the next year. The addition of these sports occurred at about the same time as the institution completed the housing village on campus.

Be it acting, performing a musical item, giving the scripture reading or even taking the sermon, nerves can strike for many at church. These three tips are what calms me down and refocuses me.
The biggest blessing we have presenting a church drama, in regard to nervousness, is that the drama isn't about the actors. Each drama is performed for the sole purpose of communicating a message that ties in with the day's theme. It's ALL about the message. Not about how well it's performed, or in efforts to gain accolade or further a career. While we want to perform our best to aid the communication of the message, it's ultimately all for the glory of God, not our own. Perhaps He's the one who should be nervous???
While we do our best to learn lines and know what we want to achieve, I believe God steps in in at least two ways to help out where needed. This is either by assisting the actors in their presentation, and/or by prompting the individual minds of those watching with the message they should gain from what they see and hear. I believe God wants us to communicate well and will assist us where possible if we dedicate our work to His glory. If we all do our earnest best in the aspects of the drama we are responsible for, and for the right motives, that's all we can do. As for the rest, God can step in and even tailor different specific messages for different people watching the same drama. Even errors can lead to more memorable experiences and ultimately stronger communication of the drama.
"Lord, thanks for this opportunity to share a message for You. This is all about you. Support me now so at least one person receives the message You want them to hear. For your glory Lord, not mine. Amen"
Well, you can Google for yourself methods of remembering lines, but let me share how we operate to perhaps ease any stress.
Usually the lines in our scripts are opened to your interpretation. While care was taken to get the words in the script right, generally they do not have to be stuck to word for word - as long as you keep the sentiment of the original lines and flow of the dialogue, all is fine. Adding jokes may or may not be appropriate, so check first it may add or detract from the message.
There are ways we can hide scripts, or give promptings, during a presentation. So if you have enough dialogue to feel you need some security, something could be set up. Just mention it.
Generally speaking, our lines are very short.
People do not know the script. So when things come out differently, or ad-libbing comes to the rescue, most of the time, no one watching ever knows! As long as you know where the drama is meant to head and what the ultimate message is just keep rolling.

Looking for old comedy movie set in medieval times
Its an old movie I saw as a kid. It's a comedy set in a medieval court. The main character is sort of helpless. I remember when he has to fight in a joust and his armor gets magnetized by a lightning bolt. He also gets hypnotized into being a great fencer at the end of the movie. It's shot a lot like a play and has a lot of physical humor.
story-identification movie medieval
MEGRMEGR
Is this really sci-fi / fantasy within the guidelines of the site ? – Stan Mar 1 '14 at 21:27
@Stan It sounds like fantasy. The suit of armour becoming magnetised by a lightning strike would certainly push it into that category... – Valorum Mar 1 '14 at 22:12
@Richard I've seen the movie a number of times. I wouldn't classify it as fantasy as used by this site, certainly not based on that one single item. Was a great film (Kaye was a great comedian) but think this one really should be moved to a more appropriate exchange site. – Stan Mar 1 '14 at 22:47
youtu.be/6zIWcCvQNqQ?t=1m15s - It's physical comedy f'sho, but it's still fantastical – Valorum Mar 1 '14 at 22:58
We'll just have to disagree on this one. Fantastical is a bit different than fantasy. Something can be fantastical because it's far-fetched and hard to believe but that doesn't necessarily give it a basis in fantasy. Like I said, just think it should be migrated that's all. – Stan Mar 1 '14 at 23:05
Sound like The Court Jester to me - 1950's musical-comedy film set in medieval England where a hapless carnival performer (Danny Kaye) masquerades as the legendary king of jesters, Giacomo, as part of a plot against evil rulers (Basil Rathbone & Cecil Parker) who have overthrown the rightful king.
After the Princess (Angela Lansbury) falls for him, Kaye is hypnotizes by the court sorceress into believing he is also a master assassin and swordsman. Some highlights of this Robin Hood/Scaramouche spoof include a wonderful sword fight with Rathbone in which Kaye constantly switches identities and the legendary "chalice from the palace/vessel with pestle" confusion.
For the full plot check out the wiki page or just watch the movie again, it's hilarious!
22nd Century Fza22nd Century Fza
There's also a mention of the armour here; tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LightningCanDoAnything – Valorum Mar 1 '14 at 22:14
It was known as The Spaceman and King Arthur in the UK and Unidentified Flying Oddball elsewhere. It starred Jim Dale and was made in 1979. It's a remake of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court with a NASA employee being the man sent to the past.
His ship uses magnetic fields to travel faster than the speed of light and, at one point in the film, he uses that mechanism to stick several armored troops to the outside of his ship.
FuzzyBoots
Can you add some details to show how this matches the question? – Adamant Oct 17 '16 at 4:18
I don't think this is the right answer, but it is a plausible one with the whole magnetism thing. No hypnotism, though. – FuzzyBoots Oct 17 '16 at 12:52

David Spence's father was a lawyer. David grew up, attended school, and did his undergraduate work in New Zealand. He attended King's College, Auckland, followed by the University of Auckland. He then moved to England where he undertook research in engineering at Clare College, Cambridge, being awarded his doctorate in 1952.
Spence did not enter the academic world after his doctorate but went to the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough. Here he began research on boundary layer problems of fluid flow which was of great significance in the design of aircraft wings. He described some of his analysis of the potential flow about a body representing the airfoil plus its boundary layer and viscous wake in the paper Prediction of the characteristics of two dimensional airfoils which appeared in 1954.
He presented his most significant work from this period in the paper The lift coefficient of a thin, jet-flapped wing which appeared in the Proceedings of the Royal Society in 1956. Spence studied a two-dimensional airfoil placed in an inviscid, incompressible, steady fluid flow, in particular a thin jet coming from its trailing edge of the airfoil. Obtaining equations under special conditions, Spence found numerical results for lift, pitching moment, and jet shape, which he compared with experimental results obtained from a wind tunnel. Two further papers in 1958 extended the results of this paper. One was The lift on a thin aerofoil with a jet-augmented flap where he studied an airfoil with deflected flap such that the jet coming from the flap hinge prevents boundary-layer separation on the flap. Results were obtained using an early electronic computer. The second extension appeared in his paper Some simple results for two-dimensional jet-flap aerofoils which was also published in 1958.
We consider the infinitesimal displacements in the problem of point loading of an unbounded elastic solid which has different behaviour in tension and compression, using constitutive relations that depend on the signs of the principal strains. By similarity considerations, the displacements are expressed in terms of the solution of a pair of nonlinear ordinary differential equations satisfying two-point boundary conditions. These are found by an iterative technique giving numerical results for typical values of the elastic constants over a range of values of the ratio of E (compressive) to E (tensile) lying between 0.5 and 2.
Spence applied his results on compression of solids to obtain a better understanding of geophysical problems. In particular he studied magma flow beneath the Earth's surface to obtain a better understanding of volcanic eruptions when magma flows through fractures in the Earth's surface.
We consider boundary value problems for the biharmonic equation in the open rectangle x > 0, -1 < y < 1, with homogeneous boundary conditions on the free edges y = ±1, and data on the end x = 0 of a type arising both in elasticity and in Stokes flow of a viscous fluid, in which either two stresses or two displacements are prescribed. For such 'noncanonical' data, coefficients in the eigenfunction expansion can be found only from the solution of infinite sets of linear equations, for which a variety of methods of formulation have been proposed.
Other papers from this period include Frictional contact with transverse shear (1986) and The line contact problem of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (1989). He applied his theory to study the effects of injecting water into an oil well to allow greater recovery of oil. The understanding obtained from such studies allows more oil to be recovered from North Sea wells than might otherwise be possible.
... a quiet, thoughtful and kindly man with a great love for and pride in his family. In his younger days he was keen on golf and on strenuous walking in mountainous regions.

Sorry, I know you don't care, but someone's got to, dammit! Stealth. Dear God, how can this movie exist? I mean, a machine that becomes sentient when it is struck by lightning? Just like Herbie, but with a nuclear arsenal! I think Jamie Foxx should wait for a good electrical storm and then strap his agent to the roof of a tall building with a metal pole jammed down his pants.
The wife and I are also devouring every episode of this, as we came in, I think, in the fourth season of original broadcasts.
I have to say, as annoying as Tara and Wil are, they're nothing compared to last season's Victoria and Jonathon, who took Botoxed-psycho-assholism to whole new levels.
Serilously though, this is the greatest thing ever. I didn't really start watching until Season 4, so its like everything is brand new to me!
And seeing as tonight is the final ep of season 2 (or so they claim), here's what's coming up: I think it was Season 3 that ended in Seattle, and man, it's a doozy. I can't say more.
Man, Skot. Wifely friend and I have been watching every night too. Even more frigteningly, we watched the eating contest on ESPN the other day, as I suspect you did.
I feel obligated to point out that old-skool blogger Cameron and his twin brother Damien Barrett are scheming to be on the show. They have a web site about it. How'd you like see a couple of balding geeks roll their large Michigan accents around the world? I don't care one way or the other but they are friends of mine (and unrelated to me) and, frankly, I think they could spice the show up with long-practiced fist-fights and knowing family asides, like, "we all know what you did with the beach towels and the poodle at grandma's house in 1993, don't we?"

The French firm of Louis Vuitton, making prestigious luggage and leather accessories since the middle of the 19th century, has been much overshadowed by its merger with Moët-Hennessey to become Moët-Hennessey Louis Vuitton (LVMH). Yet long before the merging of like-minded luxury companies, Louis Vuitton had established itself as an enduring purveyor of quality goods for the most discerning clientéle.
Young Louis Vuitton first came to Paris in 1837, in the year in which stage and mail coach travel was to be transformed by the opening of the first railway line in France, from Paris to St. Germain, to passenger traffic. Vuitton became an apprentice layetier, or luggage packer, to the prominent households of Paris at a time when journeys could take many months and require endless changes of wardrobe. He established such a reputation in this work that he was appointed by the Emperor of France, Napoleon III, as official layetier to his wife, the Empress Eugenie.
Vuitton acquired expert knowledge of what made a good traveling case and started to design luggage, opening his workshops to the general public in 1854 to provide luggage suitable for a new age of travel. Vuitton designed the first flat trunks that could be easily stacked in railway carriages and in the holds of ocean liners. Made of wood and covered in a new distinctive canvas called "Trianon Grey," this particular traveling trunk superseded the dome-shaped, cumbersome trunks originally designed for the stage coach.
So successful and prestigious was this luggage that other trunk makers began to copy Vuitton's style and designs, a problem the firm bearing his name was still dealing with over a century later. In 1876 Vuitton responded to the imitators by changing the Trianon Grey canvas to a striped design in beige and brown. The problem, however, persisted and in 1888, Vuitton adopted another canvas—a checkerboard pattern with the words "Marque deposée Louis Vuitton" interwoven through the material.
When George Vuitton took over the family firm on his father's death in 1892, imitation of company products was still a major problem, and four years later he designed and took out worldwide patents on the now legendary Louis Vuitton canvas featuring his father's initials against background motifs of stars and flowers. This innovative design had the effect of stopping all imitations until the 1960s, when counterfeiting became a serious problem once again. The firm launched an offensive, employing a team of lawyers and special investigation agencies to actively pursue offenders through law courts all over the world, which continues to this day.
Methods of manufacture have changed little since the 19th century. Suitcases are still made by hand; the craftsmen line up the leather and canvas, tapping in the tiny nails one by one and securing the five-lever solid pick-proof brass locks with an individual handmade key, designed to allow the traveler to have only one key for all his or her luggage. The wooden frames of each trunk are made of 30-year-old poplar dried for at least four years. Each trunk has a serial number and can take up to 60 hours to make, and a suitcase as many as 15 hours.
Although the luggage collection has always offered extensive choice, Louis Vuitton has been creating special made-to-order hard-sided luggage since 1854. Congo explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza (1852-1905) commissioned a combined trunk and bed from the company, and in 1936 for American conductor Leopold Stokowski's travels, Gaston Vuitton designed a traveling secrétaire. When opened, the extraordinary design revealed two shelves for books, three drawers for documents and musical scores, and a vertical compartment to store a typewriter. The gate-legged table which completed the instant workstation folded into the door.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Louis Vuitton logo, the founder's son George invited a who's who of designers to create items from its trademarked striped fabric. Azzedine Alaïa, Manolo Blahnik, Helmut Lang, Isaac Mizrahi, Romeo Gigli, Vivienne Westwood, and Sybilla all fashioned limited edition carry-alls, from small cases to large bags for sale at select Vuitton stores, as well as other items.
In the 21st century some 200 Louis Vuitton boutiques in the major cities of Europe, the U.S., and Far East supplied prestigious luggage, elegant apparel, and a wide range of accessories to its distinguished clientéle. As part of the LVMH empire, the Vuitton brand was nestled among an ever-expanding number of design houses including Christian Lacroix, Givenchy, Emilio Pucci, Kenzo, Fendi, Michael Kors, and Donna Karan.

Bega Cheese full year profits slide
Posted by AFN Staff Writers on 1st September 2011
Australia's largest listed dairy firm, Bega Cheese Group, has announced an 11.4% drop in profits for the financial year ended on 30 June 2011.
The Group's full year results, just published, show total sales revenue to be A$931.7 million, with a net profit after tax of A$21.6 million.
Bega Cheese is the largest provider of contract cheese packaging and processing services in Australia. The company's product range includes cheddar, mozzarella, processed cheese, cream cheese, milk powders, infant formula, and other nutritional products for sale in Australia and international markets.
The Bega Cheese Group's capital expenditure for 2010/11 totalled A$24.8 million. The Group's biggest investment was in the natural cheese cutting and packaging capacity at Bega Cheese's recently acquired Strathmerton facility in northern Victoria.
Chairman of the Bega Cheese Group, Barry Irvine said, "The significant investment in excess of A$66m in capacities and capabilities over the past three years positions Bega Cheese well to take advantage of already identified dairy industry rationalisation and market growth opportunities."
Mr Irvine also said that the Bega Cheese Group's long term contracts with major global dairy companies such as Fonterra, Kraft and Mead Johnson Nutritionals gave the company the confidence to continue to invest in efficiencies, innovation and capacity.
Australian Food News comments:
The profit drop at Bega points to the continuing pressures on domestic dairy product suppliers. By contrast, strong export prices for commodity dairy products, such as milk powders are supporting strong profit growth for those Australian dairy processors trading internationally.
Australian Food News has recently published several stories on dairy companies' full year results. Warrnambool Cheese and Butter announced yesterday that it has more than doubled its operating profits for the year to 30 June 2011. New Zealand-based dairy co-operative multinational Fonterra announced earlier this month that it has decided to cut back on the niche organic milk production business. Lion, the Kirin-owned drinks company, has also reported challenging conditions and declining revenue this month.
Both Bega and Lion are based in the State of New South Wales and have borne the brunt of the house-branded milk issues of supermarkets being supplied by lower-cost milk produced in other States such as Victoria.

Press Union Asks Justice Minister for Investigation into Journalist's Claim of Assassination Plot
April 9, 2019 by Gbatemah Senah
MONROVIA, Montserrado – The Press Union of Liberia has written Justice Minister Musa Dean to request an open and impartial investigation into allegations made by the CEO and general manager of Sky Communications Inc., T-Max Jlateh.
According to a Press Union release, Jlateh has complained of dozens of death threats – mostly from loyalists of the government and pro-Weah zealots – against him and his family.
Jlateh also claimed that a meeting plotting to execute him was held last Thursday with ex-rebel generals under the supervision of high-ranking ministers in the George Weah's led government.
"The popular and critical talk show host furthered that another meeting aimed at killing him was held under the leadership of a sitting senator because of his critical views on national subjects," the Press Union wrote.
"Mr. Attorney General, T-Max Jlateh, in keeping with the above, has informed the Press Union of Liberia that he is viciously pursued and tailed on a daily basis since the reported meetings were held."
On April 4, the government issued a release claiming concern over the allegations made by the popular talk show host.
The release said although the journalist did not make a formal complaint to authorities on his claim, the government considers the allegation grave enough to warrant a speedy investigation.
"Journalists are an integral prerequisite for a fully functioning democracy that the administration of President George M. Weah is considering. This is evidenced by the recent passage of the K. Abdullai Kamara Act of Press Freedom and other pro-media actions which decriminalize speech offenses and create a platform for free expression," the government noted in a press release signed by Information Minister Eugene Nagbe.
The government said it intended to work with the Press Union and the journalism community on the alarming claim in order to investigate it, adding that there was no place for such intimidation and violence in Liberia. The release called on the SKY FM manager to cooperate with the relevant agencies and provide the necessary information to assist in the investigation.
It further encouraged media practitioners to continue to contribute responsibly to the national discourse and avoid incendiary propositions that could undermine peace.
Meanwhile, the Press Union has said while it anticipates a speedy police investigation, it is also asking that the security of the media executive is prioritized by state security and all protections provided to him.
"It worries us at the Press Union and all lovers of liberty when these very grave allegations are coming out at the time when partnerships are being forged at different levels of government to improve the operating environment of the media in Liberia," the union noted.
It added that the conclusive nature of the inquest it is seeking on the reported threat will assure the journalism community in the country that the government is not targeting some of its members.

3101. The Princess Diaries (2001)
By The Mad Movie Man on	 September 25, 2020 110-119 mins, 2001, 6 - 7.9, Comedy, Kids', Movies Of 2020, Review, Romance, Sep 20, United States
6.8 Sweet, but not enormously charming
Starring: Anne Hathaway, Julie Andrews, Héctor Elizondo
Director: Garry Marshall
The Princess Diaries is an American film about an unpopular teenage girl who discovers to her surprise that she is part of the royal family of the small European nation of Genovia, and must learn the ropes to become a true princess.
As much as I like a pleasant, family-friendly fairy tale, The Princess Diaries is far from the world's most endearing watch. Despite likeable performances from Anne Hathaway and particularly Julie Andrews, the film really drags from start to finish, with a less-than-magical take on what should be a really magical story.
What's frustrating about The Princess Diaries is that it doesn't know what sort of film it wants to be. Is it a coming-of-age movie? A real-life fairy tale? A simple, fluffy movie for kids? The film tries to juggle all three genres and more, yet comes up short with a messy style that's really difficult to fall in love with.
As a result, what you get is a bit of mish-mash of Disney tropes and some more unorthodox ideas that make The Princess Diaries far from the sweet, magical story that it's surely meant to be.
Its comedy isn't great, with far too much reliance on fluffy, basic humour for young kids, yet the main themes of its story seem to be directed at an older audience, with a half-baked coming-of-age tale taking centre stage.
The movie does have a couple of nice performances in Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews, particularly from Andrews who gives her all in bringing a little bit of fairy tale magic to the table as the traditionalist Queen of a small European country. However, the rest of the characters outside the main two are largely forgettable, often within the movie itself, which left me often puzzled as to who half the people were at times.
It's a real shame, because I can tell that The Princess Diaries is a movie made with love and affection, but it's nowhere near the sweet, charming story that it really could be.
Despite the likeability of Hathaway and Andrews, there isn't all that much about the film that will really sweep you off your feet, lacking the magic of a great Disney movie, and the emotional depth of a good coming-of-age story. So, that's why I'm giving The Princess Diaries a 6.8 overall.

Suspect in Stafford Murder-Suicide Reported Missing Last Year
//www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Suspect-in-Stafford-Murder-Suicide-Reported-Missing-Last-Year_Washington-DC-401964565.html
A community in Stafford County is mourning the deaths of a family of four in a case that investigators call a murder-suicide. The man suspected of killing his wife and two young daughters, before taking his own life, had been reported missing more than a year ago. News4's David Culver reports. (Published Saturday, Nov. 19, 2016)
The man investigators said killed his wife and two daughters in a Stafford County home Thursday called 911 to report three murders and a suicide at the address that morning.
That same young father made headlines last year after he disappeared days before his graduation.
Lance Buckley, 35; his wife, Amy, 30; their 5-year-old daughter, Claire Buckley, and 17-month-old daughter, Abigail Buckley, were found dead inside a home in the Windsor Forest subdivision in the northwestern part of the county, according to the sheriff.
Police said Lance Buckley called police Thursday morning to report three murders and a suicide at the address. He identified himself and hung up the phone.

Professor Bernard Perlmutter Receives Hugh Glickstein Child Advocate of the Year Award
Bernard Perlmutter, Professor of Clinical Legal Education and Co-Director of the Children & Youth Law Clinic, was honored with the Hugh Glickstein Child Advocate of the Year Award for his contributions in the field of children's law. The award was presented by the Public Interest Law Section of the Florida Bar.
main_Bernard-Perlmutter.gif
Professor Bernard Perlmutter
At the Children & Youth Law Clinic, Professor Perlmutter teaches and supervises second- and third-year law students who handle cases involving abused, abandoned and neglected children and adolescents in a variety of legal proceedings, including dependency and foster care, public benefits, health care, mental health, disability, education and immigration cases, in addition to appellate, legislative and administrative advocacy and law reform litigation.
He has litigated numerous federal and state court class action lawsuits seeking to reform Florida's foster care system. He has submitted amicus curiae briefs in a number of cases of national significance, including Roper v. Simmons (juvenile death penalty), GAL v. S.C. (foster child's right to medical records privacy), DCF v. Statewide Advocacy Council (advocacy council's access to confidential records held by Department of Children & Families), and cases affecting older foster children, immigrant children and disabled children.
The award is named in honor of the late Judge Hugh S. Glickstein, who advocated for children's services his entire career and which led him to receive the U.S. Congressional Award in 1985.


BSW recently held one of its marquee "Meet the Manager" events at the City Club in Boulder, CO. The manager, Harbor Group International (HGI), has been a trusted private real estate advisor to BSW for over 12 years and with whom BSW has partnered with in 180 real estate investments.
Topics discussed included economic outlook, recent sales activity, sustainability initiatives, and promoting healthy lifestyles amongst residents and tenants.
"Last year when we held this meeting the 10-year Treasury yield stood at 3%," said Saul Lubetski, Vice Chairman at HGI. At that time, improving economic conditions in the United States made higher interest rates all but a foregone conclusion for the year ahead. However, history often unfolds differently than consensus expectations. "Today the 10-year yields 1.96%," continued Mr. Lubetski. With bond yields so anemic, income producing real estate investments become more attractive by comparison, a dynamic he sees continuing into 2015.
Lubetski also sees further improvement in the apartment market as would-be homeowners, particularly in the Millenial generation, place a premium on flexibility and mobility. While this is a longer-term trend, HGI sees short term factors that could help move rents upward. Falling oil prices have already translated to lower prices at the pump, which should increase discretionary buying power. Meanwhile, the growth in the supply of new apartments nationwide has trailed the increase in demand.
"There are really only 3 office markets that have institutional-quality liquidity in the United States," said Lubetski, "New York, San Francisco, and Washington DC." These gateway cities present high barriers to entry and have significant pedestrian and transportation infrastructure. As the economy improves, both occupancy and rents have increased in these markets. He sees the low level of new office construction providing a tail wind for continued improvement in the economics of owning office properties.
Starbucks building at DuPont Circle, Washington D.C.
Regarding retail space, Lubetski remarked, "The retail environment has shifted. B and C (rated) malls in America are dead." HGI sees value in irreplaceable retail locations with high foot traffic. Of retail preferences among consumers, Lubetski added, "People are looking for an experience, a tactile experience." Sam Fireworker, Senior Financial Analyst in HGI's New York office, highlighted new retail acquisitions in locations such as the DuPont Circle in Washington DC, Kings Cross in London, and Chelsea, Harlem, and the Bronx areas of New York City.
Discussing the sale activity in BSW's portfolio across all funds and properties, Samuel Reichman, Managing Director at HGI, characterized 2014 as "another robust year for distributions," selling 18 properties in which BSW invested, including several pre-recession vintage assets. BSW investors received over $12M in sale proceeds in 2014 and, "2015 is anticipated to be another positive year for dispositions," added Reichman.
It should not go unnoticed that HGI has made a significant commitment to expanding its sustainability initiatives. Robert Friedman, President of Harbor Group Management Co, explained how HGI has embraced sustainability by focusing on four key initiatives: Engage, Reduce, Innovate, and Conserve. "We have gone paperless with the vast majority our vendor payments and invoices and at our apartments, over 70% of the residents pay using ACH (electronic funds transfers)," he added. These initiatives and the myriad of equipment upgrades designed to increase energy efficiency at HGI-run buildings yield benefits for both the environment and the bottom line.
All in all, we were very grateful for the opportunity to hear from HGI firsthand and are looking forward to our continuing partnership.

Fresh $10M Enables Spiffy To Expand To Fleet Management (FMaaS)
June 26, 2019 | Abby Phillips
Spiffy continues to clean up in the on-demand car-care space.
Today the company announced a $10M funding led by New York's Tribeca Venture Partners, with local participation from existing investors Bull City Venture Partners and IDEA Fund Partners, as well rolling out a new service that it's dubbing FMaaS to 11 markets, including six brand-new cities.
"FMaaS" stands for Fleet Management as a Service, which provides a full suite of on-demand services for rental car fleets, automotive auctions, car-sharing services and other multi-vehicle operators.
"FMaaS is our invention," says Spiffy Founder and CEO Scot Wingo, "taking software concepts (SaaS, PaaS) and applying it to the car-care world to represent that they can partner with Spiffy and we'll take care of everything."
Don't feel bad if, like me, you didn't know what PaaS meant—isn't it what you use to dye Easter eggs?—but Google says it stands for "Platform as a Service."
Spiffy's new FMaaS (Fleet Management as a Service) initiative provides soup-to-nuts service for owners of vehicle fleets.
Acronyms aside, Spiffy first made its name with on-demand car washes in which it comes to your home, apartment complex, or office parking lot and cleans your car while you're off doing whatever it is you do. It next expanded to preventative maintenance—think oil changes, topping off the fluids, sensors to make sure your car isn't about to run into trouble—and now into fleet management services. Sorry, "FMaaS."
As you can see by the cool graphic above, Spiffy's FMaaS services cover the full cycle of needs for fleet owners, from "in-fleeting"—bringing new vehicles into the fleet—to preventative maintenance to "de-fleeting." Spiffy (OK, its official corporate name is "Get Spiffy, Inc.") didn't make up the latter term, but Wingo helpfully defines it for us:
"Imagine you are U-Haul and after 80K miles you automatically sell those $19.99/day vans you see everywhere," says Wingo. "There is a pretty complex process to get that ready to be sold. That entire bucket of items are 'de-fleeting.'"
The $10M funding, which also included new investors Zunis Investments (a Philadelphia-based family office) and Florida's Trog Hawley Capital, will enable Spiffy to significantly increase its geographic footprint. In addition to adding FMaaS to its full suite of office park and residential services in its five current markets—Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles and the Triangle—Spiffy will roll out FMaaS to six new markets. The new half-dozen are New York, Washington D.C., Seattle, Phoenix, Denver and Tampa.
Wingo is one of the Triangle's most successful serial entrepreneurs, best known for founding Morrisville-based ecommerce company ChannelAdvisor, which is now publicly traded. Tribeca Ventures sounds pleased to get in on his latest venture before it's too late.
"We're excited to invest in Spiffy as they continue to grow," said Chip Meakem, Tribeca's Co-Founder and Managing Partner. "The comprehensive Fleet Management as a Service offering positions Spiffy to ride the wave of change crashing through the automotive industry. From rental and commercial fleets to partnerships with innovative ride-sharing companies, like Lyft, and the recent Ford connected car partnership, Spiffy is riding several megatrends."

Ventalation is one of the most important parts of your roofing system. Has proper intake air flow coming in from the eaves of your home, where your gutters are located, and exausting through the ridge of your home. All roofing manufactors require this as part of there warranty information because it does not only affect the condisation in your attic space but will also weaken your shingles and lower there live span. If your home already has proper insolation and proper ventatation another option would be to add a power fan unit on your roof near the ridge with a humidistat built it. This will turn on automatically at whatever tempature you set and also when moisture builds but will turn on. Moisture in the attic space is common in winter months due to cold tempatures outside and heat from your attic space meeting. I would have a roofing company come out and inspect your soffits to make sure they are ventalated and also to ensure you have a ridge vent installed on your home to start.

This Bourbon Pecan Pie with Chocolate Cookie Crust is a fun twist on a favorite holiday pie recipe!
This Bourbon Pecan Pie with Chocolate Cookie Crust is definitely not your typical pecan pie.
For starters, I crushed up chocolate wafers to make a cookie crust instead of your typical pastry crust. I also used dark brown sugar, which gives it the richer color you see in the pictures. (I'm coming clean here; the only reason I used dark brown sugar was because that's all I had in the house. The moral of my story is you can use light or dark brown sugar and still get great results!) This pecan pie is also made without corn syrup because I didn't want an overly sweet pie.
And, just because I could, I threw in a splash of bourbon. Chocolate, Pecans, Bourbon…what's not to love?
Tip: Not a bourbon fan? Try rum or omit the liquor entirely.
The pie comes together rather quickly and can be made the day before if you're looking to get ahead in your holiday baking. Toasting the pecans is not necessary, but I like the depth they bring the dessert. Not a bourbon fan?
When ready to serve, feel free to add a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream on top if you have a major sweet tooth.
This Bourbon Pecan PIe with Chocolate Cookie Crust is an amazing addition to your holiday dessert menu!
Place cookie wafers in a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. Melt 6 tablespoons butter and combine with cookie crumbs. Press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate and bake for 7-8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees.
Meanwhile, whisk together eggs and water in a medium bowl. Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter and add to egg mixture along with brown sugar, salt, bourbon and vanilla. Stir until thoroughly combined.
Place pecans in pie crust and pour custard mixture over the top of the nuts. Bake for 10 minutes and then reduce heat to 325 degrees. Continue to bake until the center of the pie is no longer wiggly, anywhere from 55-65 minutes.
This recipe was easy for me to follow and make. I substituted Oreo's for the crust as I could not find the Nabisco chocolate wafers.
This pie was absolutely delicious. It was a hit during Thanksgiving. We had this pie and a regular pecan pie for comparison. This Bourbon Pecan Pie's flavor was so fantastic the other pecan pie seemed so bland and boring.
Oreos sounds like an amazing substitution; I'm so glad everyone enjoyed it! Thanks for letting us know how it worked for you. We love our MN readers!!
This looks amazing. Almost like a brownie pie with pecans (and bourbon). I'll have to try it.
It's kind of a mashup of some of my favorite things, Renee. All delicious!
My pie didn't turn out as I expected, what could I have done wrong? The eggs were room temp! Should I have used cold eggs? I also had to use the oreos, so the cookies rose and the batter went down to the bottom.
Hi Cleshia, I've never used Oreos for the crust. Are you saying the crust floated to the top?

A Silvan quad-sphere jack-of-all-trades deck. LaVar Burton would approve.
Silvan cards are so wonderfully appealing, but Celeborn and Galadriel just work so well together, and Galadhrim Minstrel is an integral part of keeping the Silvan machine running. The solution? Cast Legolas as the hero and use Narya to impart Galadriel with a resource icon.
Mulligan for Nenya. If you can snag O Lórien! too, then even better.
Light of Valinor goes on Celeborn so that he can be of use in combat. This deck lacks a strong defender, but Feigned Voices and Feint can get you out of a bind.
From there it's the standard Silvan strategy: Recycle Galadhrim Minstrel liberally to keep your hand well stocked with events. Galadhrim Weaver can help recycle the events you need most for the situation at hand.
Galadriel will require the most resources, so use Legolas and Celeborn to pay for the cards.
The inclusion of cards allows this deck to provide combat support in terms of the ranged keyword and direct damage effects.


I am lucky enough to live in the Pacific Northwest, when the skies are leaden and the mist or rain or downpour occlude the sun, I can go to a Korean Woman's spa and luxuriate in warmth. There are hot tubs, a cool tub, saunas, steam rooms, dry mud rooms, salt rooms, mugwort tea baths. There are rooms with heated floors where I can recline on couches or cushions and read or snooze or dream. There is a restaurant which serves spicy and comforting soups, tangy kimchee and grassy infused teas. I can, for a few hours and the price of entry, relax in a version of heaven.
There are no men to be seen. Anywhere. All the people who work there, massage therapists, skin care aestheticians, body wrappers and body scrubbers are women. All the people soaking in tubs, sipping tea, all are women. There is no whiff of testosterone anywhere. When I go to the spa, I go to be in a purely feminine world. There are not many places in our culture where it is appropriate and necessary to be in female only space.
This is what it's like: in the shared public spaces like the restaurant and relaxing rooms, we wear our bathrobes and hair covers, otherwise, we are naked. And it is a glory to behold the many shapes, sizes, ages, colors, wrinkles, tattoos, the gravity defying and the gravity affected, all of us, carriers of the double chromosome, and each one unique. As I said, it is glorious to see and be seen exactly as we are, no hiding or covering up our perfections or imperfections.
I had a vision, while almost sleeping in the salt room on the bamboo floor. I saw the many wells and ponds and lakes and pools where women had gathered from the beginning of time. The Well-maidens, the shepherdesses, the women gaily braiding flowers into their hair by the many waters – all flowed through my imagination. The word seraglio came unbidden. While seraglio originated as a place where women were kept for the sultan, it is actually a container, a protective enclosure that keeps danger at bay. And then, and then, in the lovely moment of feeling myself one with the mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers of all time, I had a sudden surge of terror.
I knew with certainty, that at any moment, the Saracens could come thundering through the seraglio, the container of safety, and in their blood lust, destroy, kill and murder us all. Robert Langs has a word for this, it is secure frame dread. When you finally feel safe, when the head rests on the beloved's shoulder, when the infant gives in to the paradise of oneness, the terror comes. It is the very fact of feeling vulnerable and safe that elicits the terror. That is the psychological lens of what I experienced.
And it is also something more, as deep and as true as the fact that water will flow to find its level. That is, when women have gathered together to celebrate, relax, mourn, grieve, support one another, we have been raped, killed, enslaved, ripped from the womb of the family, the culture, our homes. Truth be told, we don't even need to be in groups to be targets. Read the papers and weep.
That is why I am so involved and dedicated to Seeing Red, an initiative which seeks to unearth the roots of feminine oppression and violence and to explore how we see ourselves and how we are seen. So we provide, for the moment, a feminine only space where we can embrace our experiences and find solace, comfort, and the energy to confront the terror and heal our souls. www.seeingredconference.com.

or Sega Sports R&D is a defunct development division of the Japanese video game company Sega. It was previously known as Smilebit, one of nine semi-autonomous studios which Sega established in 2000. Smilebit was previously known as R&D6 or AM6 which itself was mainly based on Sega PC. Smilebit was known for its sports simulation titles, as well as Jet Set Radio. When Sega started releasing games for other platforms, Smilebit began developing games for the Xbox, with Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon Orta and GunValkyrie. Smilebit was led by Shun Arai as president and Takayuki Kawagoe as director. Kawagoe became president of Smilebit in 2003.

During a re-organization, Sega's nine studios were consolidated into "four of five core operations", and the non-sports staff of Smilebit was merged into Amusement Vision. Smilebit became exclusively dedicated to sports titles, with the Virtua Striker series from Amusement Vision becoming attributed to Smilebit. When Sega and Sammy were merged into Sega Sammy Holdings, all of the studios merged back into Sega. Smilebit became Sega Sports R&D and developed more sport simulation games, as well as the first entry of the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series. Later, these games were later given to CS1 and CS2 designations, and Sega Sports R&D ceased to exist.

History

When Shun Arai joined Sega, he desired to develop a few online projects as Sega diversified into business ventures such as home banking. Arai was in charge of the Sega Saturn development tools and technical support. Based on this, Sega asked Arai to develop an online game when Smilebit was founded. That title was Hundred Swords which was developed for the Dreamcast. Smilebit as a name was chosen to bring happiness to its users and the digital term 'bit' gives it a more serious image.

Smilebit had about 105 employees and six lines of development, with a third of the staff coming from Sega PC. Smilebit was known as the premiere studio for sports games. It developed the successful sports simulator series ,  and . Non-sports titles were developed as well. Jet Set Radio was developed by former developers of Panzer Dragoon Saga, who hoped to develop something completely new and unlike the Panzer Dragoon series. A sequel was developed for Xbox, called Jet Set Radio Future, or JSRF. The team got many commendations when they went overseas to events such E3; however, they realized that this did not necessarily mean more sales. Panzer Dragoon itself was also revived with Panzer Dragoon Orta, which unlike the previous game, Panzer Dragoon Saga, became a regular rail shooter once again. The team hoped that by the time Orta was released, the Xbox market would mature and be more successful than the previous two Xbox titles, JSRF and GunValkyrie; however, sales in the US were dissatisfying. Toshihiro Nagoshi, who later lead several team members of Smilebit, commented on the studio, stating that while they did not have high sales, their technical capabilities were very high.

Smilebit was also interested in arcade development. The Typing of the Dead was initially presented to AM1, and Ollie King was originally developed under the Smilebit banner before it was released under Amusement Vision.

In 2003, Sega restructured its development studios and Amusement Vision and Smilebit merged, with the surviving Smilebit becoming solely focused on sports, adding the Virtua Striker games. At the same time Shun Arai left Smilebit to lead the Sega Creative Center. Takayuki Kawagoe took his place instead.

Sega and Sammy merged in 2004 to form Sega Sammy Holdings and all the studios merged back into Sega. Smilebit was named Sega Sports R&D, and continued to develop more sports games, including the first Mario & Sonic at the Olympic games. Takayuki Kawagoe continued to oversee sports games but eventually oversaw the whole output of Sega of Japan as creative officer and then senior executive officer. The Mario & Sonic games and sports simulator series of games became assigned to the CS1 and CS2 designations, and a dedicated sports division ceased to exist.

Jehovah's Witness grandparents ordered to keep faith to themselves
Jason Proctor
A provincial court judge says Jehovah's Witness grandparents
don't have an absolute right to expose their four-year-old granddaughter to their faith
Mother argues that 4-year-old can decide on religious practices when she gets older
A pair of devout Jehovah's Witnesses have been ordered by a B.C. provincial court judge not to talk about religion in front of their four-year-old granddaughter.
The couple lost their bid for unsupervised access to the girl because they insisted on taking her to worship at their faith's Kingdom Hall despite the repeated objections of the child's mother.
The girl is identified only as A.W. and the grandparents as A.R. and B.R. in Judge Edna Ritchie's 12-page decision. And for now, they're on a short leash.
"There are many people with strongly held religious views that do not discuss those views in front of others, and specifically not in front of children," Ritchie wrote.
Unless A.R. and B.R. can satisfy the court that they can comply with the mother's wishes, Ritchie said, "their time with A.W. must be supervised and limited."
Religious rights vs. parental responsibility
The case pits the Family Law Act against the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The Family Law Act states that only a guardian has parental responsibilities, including decisions about religious upbringing, and the mother, M.W., is sole guardian.
But A.R. and B.R. argued that forbidding them from expressing their faith to their grandchild would violate a charter right to practise their religion.
The grandparents want A.W. to experience their religion, while M.W. insists her daughter "can decide when she is older whether or not to participate in any religious practices."
The battle is the culmination of a saga that began when the child's biological dad, L.R., told his parents he had fathered a child three weeks after A.W. was born.
L.R. was "disfellowshipped" from the Jehovah's Witness faith, a type of religious excommunication. He testified that he has little contact with A.R. and B.R. He also pays no child support and has no parental responsibilities.
A.R. and B.R. were determined to have contact with their granddaughter, and the child's mother felt it important for them to be part of their lives. She previously allowed them unsupervised access.
Poppa and Momma vs. Grandpa and Grandma
But according to the decision, the relationship between the "well-meaning, determined grandmother" and M.W. has been strained from the outset.
M.W. also objected to the couple insisting the girl call them Poppa and Momma instead of Grandpa and Grandma. But by far the biggest disagreement arose over visits to the Kingdom Hall.
From the time A.W. was a baby, A.R. and B.R. took her to services; M.W. said she wasn't happy, but didn't object until December 2013.
She switched the timing of their visits, but then learned from her daughter the grandparents had taken A.W. to services the following spring; A.R. insisted the child "had begged to go to Kingdom Hall."
Visits were then limited to supervised access at M.W.'s home.
But even at that, M.W. was upset to find her daughter watching a Jehovah's Witness video on A.R.'s laptop. The grandmother insisted the child had pushed the play icon before she could stop her.
The judge noted that when two or more parents with different religious views share parental responsibility the court will often support the child being exposed to each religion involved.
But because A.R. and B.R. are not guardians, the court was bound to respect the decision of the mother. For that same reason, Ritchie also found the charter argument didn't apply.
The couple cited another Supreme Court of Canada case involving a divorce in which a mother with custody had obtained an order forcing her Jehovah Witness ex-husband not to discuss religion with their children.
In that case, the top court ruled a custodial parent does not have a right to limit the other parent's ability to discuss religion unless the child's best interests were threatened.
In this case, Ritchie found it wasn't fair to place A.W. in a holy war between her mother and grandparents.
"I am concerned that the applicants' demonstrated inability to respect and comply with M.W's decisions on religion will continue to cause conflict," she wrote. "It is not in A.W.'s best interests to be exposed to that conflict."
