The Democratic Republic of Congo's presidency on Monday ordered military and police officers to take over civil authorities in two regions that have been declared under a "state of siege."


The Federal Government has announced it will undertake a "feasibility study" to construct its own data centre as a long-term alternative to leasing space from the private sector.
The revelation came at an industry briefing by the Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) in Canberra yesterday.
"An upcoming project will be a feasibility study into a Government built and owned data centre as a long term strategic option," AGIMO said in its data centre strategy.
"This investigation will help determine whether there is value in adopting a build-own-operate model for data centre management, or whether it is more cost effective to maintain a lease-develop-operate model.
The report was expected to be handed to the Government in the second quarter of next year.
AGIMO executive Kayelle Wiltshire said the study would take into account "cost benefit analyses, locations and opportunities - and what the opposite side of the coin looks like if we don't do it."
But Wiltshire warned it was unlikely the Government had the budget to build in the short term.
"It is a very large capital investment for a data centre," Wiltshire said.
"We also have to be cognisant of the Government's fiscal position [and] right now there isn't several hundred million dollars in the kitty to build our own [facility].
"But we will be putting a report to the Government on what is the feasibility of doing it, how long it would take, what would be the benefits, what would be the risk and where we should go."
One analyst, who declined to be named, speculated that the study and its timing could be designed to encourage the industry to offer more competitive offers for the Government's current data centre panels.
Another revelation at the briefing was an expectation that the IT requirements for the smallest 50 Australian Government agencies would be met by a "Data Centre as a Service" (DCaaS) strategy.
These agencies spent less than $2 million per year on their ICT operations and had common ICT infrastructure.
AGIMO was preparing a specification based on industry consultation. Possible solutions included in-sourcing, partial or full outsourcing and cloud computing.
DCaaS tenders were expected to be called in the latter part of next year.
It was expected that larger Government agencies could also use DCaaS services if required.
The Government announced plans earlier this year to consolidate most Federal Government agencies into larger, more modern third party data centre facilities for the next 15 years in an attempt to avoid around $1 billion in future costs.
"The main source of these future costs are electricity and data centre leasing," Wiltshire said.
"Other opportunities for costs avoidance include use of common services, such as backup and disaster recovery.
"Of particular importance is the issue of electricity, as electricity usage is the highest contributor in cost avoidance and is anticipated to be the single largest future cost for data centre operations."
The Data Centre Strategy required agencies to measure and report annually on the electricity used by their data centres and their ICT infrastructure, regardless of where ICT equipment is located, whether insourced or outsourced.
However standards for benchmarking data centre carbon footprints were yet to emerge.
"The Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency is working with the NSW Department of the Environment, Climate Change and Water to develop a National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) rating tool for date centres," the strategy stated.
AGIMO expected a "preliminary version" of this measurement tool will be available in 2011 and that as it could "replace or supplement Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) as a more informative measure of data centre energy efficiency" as it became more robust.
AGIMO estimated PUE, across all the Australian Government's data centres, to be higher than 2.5.
Following advice, including from companies represented at the industry briefing yesterday, AGIMO proposed the PUE be cut to an average of 1.9 by 2015.
"We know some data centres are claiming ratios of between 1.15 and 1.3 in this PUE area. So clearly there's a lot of possibilities here as we start to address demand for electricity, the best way to do things, how to achieve those results," AGIMO executive John Sheridan said.
While AGIMO would take a lead role in defining policy and targets for agencies, it would be up to agencies to decide how to meet these targets.
Wiltshire said the Department of Finance was analysing whole of government electricity supply issues.


Some of my best finds are the random ones, the ones I don't even know I want until I see them. This beautiful salad bowl was like a bolt of lightning, jolting me with such awe when I saw it. The fun shape, striking design, and delightful black and gold rectangles and starbursts were of such a combination that I was helpless against its allure. Resistance was futile.
It looks even better with a salad in it! Let me tell you, I love salads and they have become a great deal more enjoyable to make and eat with this beauty to put them in. I know, you're sitting there rolling your eyes at me, thinking, "It's just a bowl." Yes, I know it's just a bowl . . . just a fantastic bowl! I came upon one of the same shape but that had orange rectangles and sun faces on it. While I didn't care for that particular surface design it did come with four small bowls that matched. When I stopped to consider that my bowl may have had small bowls that went with it at some point, I got a little weak in the knees. Oh, to possess them!
I have since found on eBay two bowls exactly the same except for the rectangles being red. One was a lone bowl, like mine, and the other had the small set of bowls with it. I was tempted to buy the full set, but the red didn't speak to me as genuinely as the black. I may or may not find more bowls like it, to pair with this one, but I am certain my satisfaction with this one will not be fading.
It's just a bowl…but you can say that about a lot of functional items. I haven't really seen this style before but they are very cool. If you eat first and foremost with your eyes than it must follow whatever you present the food in can help foster a welcoming, winning presentation. Loved the title!

D1gits: Conversation with Charlie Caper and Erik Rosales
Created: Friday, October 19, 2012 posted by Geetesh Bajaj at 4:00 am
Charlie Caper is a magician, performer and creator. He won Sweden's Got Talent 2009, and is the only magician to ever win this TV format in any of the 25 countries it's aired. He won a Silver Medal at the Last World Championship of Magic in 2009. He is currently a television star in Sweden with the show "Helt Magiskt" starring in ten Saturday evening shows on Sweden's biggest channel SVT. Apart from that he has performed in 31 countries and 6 languages.
Erik Rosales is a multi-talented man with a huge interest and expertise in all kinds of technology and how to use it on stage. He is also the front man of incredible Swedish music sensation Sirqus Alfon, with whom he recently created the ambitious, inventive and amazing SATV show. In 2012 they were invited to be guest act in Melodifestivalen — by far the TV program with the most viewers in Sweden every year. At present his solo work focuses on hosting, lecturing and digital presentation consultation.
In this conversation, Charlie and Erik discuss alternatives to slide-led presentations, such as their presentation for the city of Stockholm.
Geetesh: Tell us more about how you got started with doing presentations — and what makes it amazing for you all to work as a team?
Charlie and Erik: We have been doing presentations for many, many years. Erik has done a lot of lectures and hosting using digital technology and Charlie has done a lot of trade show presentations. Then about a year ago, we got the opportunity to work together through Step2 Communications to create a really cool, high tech presentation about Stockholm. We knew we would work with a lot of screens and drew some inspiration from the picture of the earth in Marco Tempest's super cool iPhone TED-talk. We have very eclectic backgrounds and added together we have knowledge in programming, dance, stagecraft, audiovisual syncing, physical theater, sleight of hand, rhetoric and psychology, electronics, just to name a few. The wish and joy in getting to mix all of this into a wonderful soup is how we started doing presentations together. We decided to work together using the D1gits brand name.
It is amazing to work together as a team (and also with the other people involved) as we constantly surprise each other by having strange new skills, talents and ideas.
Geetesh: How are your presentations, such as the one you did for the city of Stockholm different from the typical PowerPoint led presentations?
Charlie and Erik: When creating the Stockholm presentation, we drew inspiration from all kinds of things, and none of those included the classic PowerPoint presentation. We always want to first capture the attention of the audience before we deliver any message or information. And we don't look at any visual aid as something to echo what we are saying, we want it to add to what we are saying. And lastly the message is not everything for us. We want it to live together with something very entertaining. We want it to be more a message than a show, but we want it to feel more a show than a message!

Crisis? How Is That a Crisis!?
Reflections on an Overburdened Word

Crisis has become such a ubiquitous word that its discriminatory power is diminished across various disciplines. It challenges the word-concept relationship inasmuch as it is associated with a host of partner words that imbue crisis with divergent meanings. Not least, it stretches between major upheavals and minor disturbances, often employed with calculating or rhetorical dramatic effect. This article explores both professional and vernacular usages of "crisis" and notes the distinction between theories of crisis and ideologies of crisis. It then turns to examining two domains closely linked to the language of crisis: Marxist analyses of capitalism, and legitimation problems. The latter is explored particularly through Seymour Martin Lipset and Jürgen Habermas. The role of crisis as filtered through different ideological families is indicated. Finally, the relationship between the tipping-point connotations of crisis and the finality drive of political decisions is considered.

Volvo XC90: The subtle and elegant luxury SUV from Volvo
Josh March 17, 2020 Auto
Way before the Audi Q7 came over and took the full-size luxury SUV segment, it was the Volvo XC90 – in its previous-generation, that is – that reigned supremacy in this segment. While the huge Volvo proved to be a runaway success for the carmaker, the prodigious Audi took over this segment with its inherent capabilities.
So, naturally, Volvo decided to fight back for its numero uno position, and, as a result, a new XC90 was launched in the Indian market last year. For those of you who may not know, the XC90 is the flagship SUV from Volvo, and it goes up against the BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS – since we've already mentioned the Audi – in the market.
So, last year, when Volvo gave its flagship SUV a mid-cycle facelift, the biggest change came in the form of additional variants (we'll get to that later). Of course, it also received some other updates such as a new grille, a newer design for the alloy wheels, and seating configurations. Let's have a look down below.
Sure, there are several changes to the XC90 on the exterior front, but the overall specifications of the mammoth SUV remain almost identical. To give you an idea, the 2019 Volvo XC90 measures 4,950mm in length, 2,008mm in width, and 1,776mm in height. The ground clearance is an impressive 238mm and the base-spec variant tips the scale at 2,910kg. It has a fuel tank capacity of 71-litres and a boot space capacity of 530-litres.
The XC90 comes with two engines, a petrol and a diesel. Sufficed to say, both the engines are compliant with the stringent BS-VI emission standards. The entry-level engine is a 2.0-litre in-line four-cylinder diesel, which churns out 225bhp and 470Nm of torque. It comes mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
Then, there is the 2.0-litre in-line four-cylinder petrol, which is good for 407bhp and a mind-numbing 640Nm of torque. It, too, comes mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox as a standard fit. While the diesel engine is available in base variants, the petrol powertrain is available in two top-spec trims.
Considering it's a full-size luxury SUV – and yes, a prodigious one – and weighs around 3-tonnes, the XC90 fuel efficiency figures are quite overwhelming. In the diesel-automatic guise, the XC90 delivers 17.2km/l, while in the petrol-automatic guise, it is good for 13km/l.
Given its pricing and segment, the XC90 is, of course, loaded to the gills with nice-to-have features. What's new inside, is an updated infotainment screen, which is still laid as portrait, but it now also features Android Auto, apart from Apple Carplay, which was also present in the pre-facelift model.
Apart from that, the rear-seat experience is now much better. The main highlight here is the small fridge, that's embedded right beneath the centre armrest. You can also control almost about anything from the back seat.
The XC90, as of early-2020, comes in four shades, namely, Magic Blue, Luminous Sand Metallic, Crystal White Pearl, and Onyx Black.
All the details regarding the Volvo XC90, namely, the engine, specifications, variant wise equipment, colours, dimensions, interiors, and exterior details are extensively covered in the brochure.
Variants and Prices
As of early-2020, the Volvo XC90 is available in four variants, withtwo variants for the petrol-automatic and two variants for the diesel-automatic. The prices start at Rs. 80.9 lakhs for the Momentum Luxury (D) variant going all the way up to Rs. 1.42 crores for the Excellence Lounge (P) variant (both prices ex-showroom, Delhi).

Briefing note on allegations that China is holding millions of Uighurs in concentration camps
Over the last year, allegations that China is interning large numbers of Muslim citizens of Xinjiang province in internment camps have been given enormous media prominence. Reports cite "the UN" as a source for claims that up to a million people could be interned in these camps, a claim repeatedly made by US officials, while US Defence Department Asia chief Randall Schriver has stated that the total could be "closer to three million citizens".
These claims have been taken up in Britain and used to agitate against China, including by elements on the left. Some of these (such as those who protested at the presence of a Chinese speaker at the Marx Oration) are groups who have always attacked socialist countries but others include anti-racist and anti-Islamophobia campaigners who have a good record of solidarity with the broad left.

As the founder and Chairman Emeritus of Hedge Funds Care/Help For Children – www.HFC.org – Rob was noted with the others as making a difference in how the industry was conducting business, and being perceived. Rob is happy to add that friend, former colleague, and long-time board member of HFC Glen Dailey, was also selected.


I was back in Tullaghan on Friday, for the second time this year for Paula & Jim's wedding. I'd photographed Jim's sister Jacinta's wedding in March. That day, Enda performed the role of unofficial photographer, and we had a lots of banter throughout the day. He was much quieter on Friday as Best Man - having to carry out his official duties and make the speech obviously concentrated the mind. He did a great job of all of them too.
There was loads of activity when I got to the house where Paula was getting ready for the ceremony. The Smyth clan had all decamped from Cavan and travelled up for the wedding, so there was a good crowd in attendance, tying ribbons, pinning buttonholes and whatnot. Seamus, Paula & Jim's chauffeur for the day, was meticulously polishing an already gleaming car. Mine is a cross between a stable, a kennels, and a photo studio most of the time so I was very impressed to see how Seamus keeps his Audi in showroom condition.
After the ceremony, we spun up the road to Mullaghmore. On such a nice Summer day, it was pretty crowded, and it was quite a challenge to get a shot without hordes of paddlers in the background. So I decided if you can't beat them, join them. The opening shot reminds me a bit of days out at the beach when we were kids in the 70s. To escape the crowds, we headed up onto the foreland before going on the The Landmark in Carrick and the usual warm welcome from Patricia & Emma. Michael Freyne was on video, and the always-brilliant Late Nite Radio kept the crowd on the dancefloor for the night. Paula & Jim are on a bit of a US road trip at the moment, taking in California, Vegas and New York amongst others. Good luck in the Casinos!
totally stunning, a truly beautiful bride!! and groom..
can't wait to see the cow shot.
Fantastic pics John, really impressed. Can't wait to see the rest! Fair play to ya! Was a fantastic day and looks like you captured it.


I have discovered a deep passion for educating people about healthy food and empowering them to cook for themselves through my work at Rivertown Inn. Each month I teach classes for both fun and education and I would love to come to your home and teach you basic cooking skills, empower you to cook with new dietary restrictions or host a cooking class just for fun. I also offer personal chef services for those that are too busy to learn and just want nourishing, healthy meals to come home to.
Get a group together and host a cooking class. Cooking classes can be just for fun, educational or a combination of both! I'll work with the host to come up with a menu or theme for the class. In this hands-on cooking class I will teach for 2-2.5 hours. Most classes will provide enough food for a meal, and you'll get to enjoy what you've made at the end of the class.
Check out a sampling of cooking classes offered.
In-home dinner parties are a fun way to entertain in your home without doing all the work. I will prepare 3-courses or more in your home, serve you and your guests and clean up my mess at the end. I will work with you to design a menu that fits you and your guests' preferences and dietary needs.
We will setup a one-on-one phone consultation to talk about your dietary needs, likes and dislikes, kitchen equipment and level of cooking knowledge. I will prepare a personalized 7-day meal plan and grocery list based on our conversation.
$75 for initial phone consultation and one week meal plan, $40/week after initial consultation.
Did you just change your diet and now realize you can't make your family's favorite recipe? I'll make it over for you using healthy ingredients that you can eat, and it will be just as delicious as the old one!
I am passionate about empowering people with new dietary restrictions to cook so they can continue to enjoy eating. My expertise lies in plant-forward, gluten-free and dairy-free cooking and baking. There are many services that I offer as a Cooking Coach which include grocery store tours, pantry and fridge makeovers, or making several mutually agreed upon recipes together that focus on techniques for cooking gluten & dairy-free, food intolerances or other dietary restricted cooking as identified by the client.
Bring me your favorite comfort food or family recipe and I will make it over for you. Have that lasagna recipe your mom always made, but there's dairy and gluten galore? Bring it to me and I'll make it safe for your food sensitivities while still being delicious!

Is it Mandatory to Pay for Services Upfront to Sell a Timeshare Property?
By Steve Lander
How to Sell a Timeshare With No Upfront Fees
Special Warranty Deed Vs. General Warranty Deed
The Things to Take Care of Before Deciding on a Real Estate Agent
How Does the Broker Get Paid When Selling a Home?
Selling a timeshare is usually a more challenging process than buying it. While developers frequently ply you with free drinks, discounted vacations and sales people that act like your long-lost best friend, getting rid of your timeshare is usually a long and arduous process that ends in you taking a big loss. Because many timeshare owners are desperate to sell their units and escape their liability for maintenance fees, an entire industry has popped up to help owners sell. An upfront fee is usually the sign of a scam rather than a legitimate sales opportunity.
Paying Upfront Fees
When you pay an upfront fee for the sale of your timeshare, you run the risk of losing the fee if the timeshare doesn't sell. If the fee isn't refundable, you will still own your unit, while having spent the money on a broker who didn't sell it. Among other authorities, the Federal Trade Commission recommends that you not pay an upfront fee and, if you do, make sure it is refundable.
Choosing a Timeshare Broker
Other than a willingness to work without an upfront fee, there are a few other factors to look for when you choose a timeshare broker. Since timeshares are considered real estate, the broker should have a real estate license in the state in which the property is located. In addition, she should be able to provide you with information about what she will do for you and when. Finally, it's wise to check her references and see if she's successfully completed transactions for other people.
Reasonable Closing Costs
When you sell your timeshare, you will have to pay some out-of-pocket costs, most of which will get taken out of your proceeds. The largest cost, if you use an agent, will probably be the commission. In addition, you will probably have to pay for escrow, closing and title services, as you would with any other real estate transaction. If it's customary for sellers to pay a real estate transfer tax, that will also be due. Finally, you may have to pay some fees to the timeshare developer for transferring the ownership of the property. These are not upfront fees, however, and none of them should be due until you sell. Furthermore, most of them, other than the commission and transfer tax, shouldn't be more than a few hundred dollars.
Advertising and Listing Fees
The one exception to the rule that you shouldn't pay upfront fees is if you decide to sell your timeshare yourself. You will probably need to pay advertising fees to post your sale on major timeshare websites, on auction sites or in local newspapers. However, if you're looking at a timeshare website that is charging anything other than a nominal fee to join and post, it may also be a scam. You will probably also have to buy a set of transaction documents if you don't already have them, and will still need to pay many of the same closing fees as if you were using an agent.

Are you a Porsche enthusiast? If so, you're in good company with us. Chances are, you probably know quite a lot about your very own Porsche, or even the Porsche brand itself. But did you know that the legendary 911 was nearly called the 901? Or did you know that Porsche once designed a tractor specifically built for coffee farming? This legendary auto manufacturer has a rather long-standing history, and in today's blog post, your go-to Pasadena Porsche repair experts are here to take a look at some of the lesser-known things about our favorite car brand.
If you live in the greater Los Angeles area and you're in need of reputable Porsche repair services, rest assured that HOUSE Automotive can and will take great care of you and your Porsche. From quality Porsche transmission repair to being honest and fair about all of our Porsche repair costs, there's no surprise that we're Pasadena's preferred Porsche auto repair shop. Learn more about our independent Porsche repair services today!
It's true; the Dutch Police used to drive the Porsche 356 as their official vehicle, but only 10 were made. Porsche actually built an extra ten models a full year after production stopped, just for the Dutch Police! Rumor has it that, out of all people, Jerry Seinfeld owns a 356.
If you thought that Porsche making tractors was a bit of an offbeat from their typical high-performance driving machines, then the idea of a Porsche-designed forklift is probably pretty amusing. Since the early 1980s, Porsche has continuously won awards for their designs of Linde Material Handling's forklifts. Seriously, no joke.
Again, we're not pulling your leg on this one. If you've ever flown in an Airbus A300, then you've flown in a Porsche-designed plane – well, at least the cockpit is Porsche-designed. Among the many advances were digital screens for the pilots instead of analog readouts. We're sure that the digital screens were just as re-assuring for passengers as they were for pilots.
Things were a little different back in the 70s and 80s. Indeed, this was a time when most companies charged you extra just to have an airbag in the steering wheel, let alone in other parts of the car. Being the automotive pioneers that Porsche are, the 1986 Porsche 944 was the first car sold in the United States that included a passenger airbag as standard safety equipment. Of course, all major automobile manufacturers soon followed suit. Hey, at least early cars came with seat belts…after a certain point in time.
Nobody tends to think of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle brand as distinctly German, and that's because they're not. However, certain Harley models utilize Porsche engines. Take, for example, the Harley V-Rod – this bad boy features an advanced, 60 degree, double overhead cam engine that was specifically developed for Harley's racing division. Nothing says "we trust your automotive engineering excellence" more than hiring Porsche to build high-end motorcycle engines for Harley-Davidson.
We understand that there's a great deal of choice in the Los Angeles area when it comes to repairing and servicing your valuable Porsche. As Porsche enthusiasts ourselves, HOUSE Automotive takes great pride in our work, ensuring that your Porsche 911, Boxster, Cayenne or other model of Porsche runs perfectly without fail. If you have any questions about our Porsche repair costs or you'd like to set up an appointment with our Porsche repair experts, get in touch with HOUSE Automotive today!


The hit documentary on the silver screen this summer is Whitney which follows the life of the pop music megastar Whitney Houston. The seams of her life were laced with familial issues, domestic abuse, and drug addiction that the public didn't see until she began to unravel. The director of Whitney, Kevin Macdonald, wanted to paint a realistic picture of her life and share her story – including all the dirt and grime alongside the glam and glitz.
Houston was raised in New Jersey, starting out in a rough area of Newark then moving to the racially-mixed suburban area of East Orange. She was bullied and taunted by her peers, both white and black, and struggled with insecurity of not being "black enough" her entire life.
Whitney wasn't the first star in her family, however. Her mother, Cissy Houston, had been a background singer for major acts such as Aretha Franklin and Elvis but never made it as a solo artist. She began to live vicariously through Houston and eventually helped her find her way to stardom.
Though it wasn't clear as to when their marriage began to grow toxic, it came to a head in 2003 when Bobby was arrested on a domestic violence charge for hitting Whitney. They stayed together for another four years, finalizing their divorce in 2007 after a whirlwind of controversy due to their appearances on the reality show Being Bobby Brown and multiple arrests. Both she and Bobby struggled with their substance abuse throughout their marriage and became open about it in later interviews.
Whitney's addiction was stronger than her celebrity status, bank account, and musical prowess – she was found dead in a bathtub of a hotel with cocaine, Xanax, and marijuana, among other drugs, in her system. The cause of death was ruled an accident due to drug-induced atherosclerotic heart disease at the young age of 48.
Whitney Houston's personal life is still an enigma to many. The world was in shock to find out that this powerhouse diva who built an amazing career and seemed so classy and put-together was plagued by a fatal addiction. Her story can serve as a lesson to us that addiction can take anyone in its grips, that no matter how rich, famous, or talented a person may be, the drugs will find a way. If you believe that you or a loved one may be struggling, please reach out – it's never too soon to seek help, but it can always be too late.

Cinema Fearité Presents 'The Horror Show' – Lance Henriksen In Another Legendary Performance
June 19, 2014 by James Jay Edwards
In the modern horror world, few actors have been as prolific as Lance Henriksen. After getting his start with small roles in big films like Dog Day Afternoon and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Henriksen transitioned into bigger roles in fright films like Damien: Omen II and The Visitor. By the mid-eighties, he had found his niche, having scored bona-fide starring roles in classic films like Aliens, Near Dark, and Pumpkinhead. In 1989, Henriksen closed out the eighties with the lesser known but completely enjoyable thriller The Horror Show.
The Horror Show stars Henriksen as Detective Lucas McCarthy, a cop who is mentally scarred after taking down "Meat Cleaver" Max Jenke (Brion James from Blade Runner), a serial killer who murdered over a hundred victims, seven of them being police officers. Jenke is tried, convicted, and sentenced to death, and Lucas wants to watch the execution in order to gain some closure for himself. After Jenke is strapped in the electric chair, the switch is thrown – and Jenke doesn't die. Jenke takes enough voltage to literally set him on fire before he is finally killed, but Lucas' problems are only beginning. Soon, Lucas begins seeing Jenke's face everywhere he looks. A parapsychologist named Peter Campbell (The Prowler's Thom Bray) informs Lucas that Jenke has found a way to use electricity as a conduit to come back from the dead, and he's coming for the detective's family. With Professor Campbell's help, Lucas has to find a way to stop Jenke, even though Jenke is already dead.
The screenplay for The Horror Show was written by Leslie Bohem (A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child) and "The Tonight Show" writer Allyn Warner (under the often used Hollywood pseudonym Alan Smithee). The film was directed by special effects man James Isaac (Jason X), who wears his influences squarely on his sleeve. Although it beat it to theaters by eight months, The Horror Show was in production at the same time as a very similar film, Wes Craven's Shocker, and both films draw huge influence from Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street. The blending of dreams and reality is a staple in all three movies, and The Horror Show capitalizes on the shock of not letting the viewer know where reality ends and the surreal begins. Max Jenke is a great villain, and he is played to perfection by Brion James. The use of electricity to "haunt" his victims is a fun trademark, and Jenke is every bit as much of a wise-cracker as Freddy Krueger. He may not be a household name, but Meat Cleaver Max should be on the same pedestal as Krueger and Shocker's Horace Pinker when it comes to horror antagonists.
In foreign markets, The Horror Show was released as House III, even though the story has nothing to do with either of the first two House movies. The film does share a few crew members with the more comedic House franchise, including producer Sean S. Cunningham (who also did Friday the 13th and The Last House on the Left, among many others) and cinematographer Mac Ahlberg (Re-Animator), and director James Isaac did handle the special effects for House II: The Second Story, but the characters and plot are completely unrelated. Tacking the film onto the House series was just a ploy to connect The Horror Show to a pre-sold property, so the film has a bit of a Halloween III mythology to it. Most significantly, the retitling forced the actual third House film to be called House IV, further adding to the confusion. Rest assured, anyone looking for House III will find it in The Horror Show…kind of.
Throughout his career, Lance Henriksen has mainly played protagonists, but ones that have dark sides that force them to the border of villainy. Henriksen has an inimitable way of playing an anti-hero, and his performance in The Horror Show is no exception. Lucas McCarthy is a good cop, but the emotional toll that Max Jenke has taken on him has turned him into a short-tempered, foul-mouthed jerk. The fatally flawed Lucas is the type of guy to which audiences can relate, so they root for him. Max Jenke may be a great villain, but Lucas McCarthy is just as good of a hero.
The special effects for The Horror Show were another early project by the KNB Efx group, the company founded by effects makeup gurus Robert Kurtzman (Night of the Creeps), Gregory Nicotero (Day of the Dead), and Howard Berger (976-EVIL) that would become the gold standard in horror effects. The gore in The Horror Show is a practical effects fan's dream, with severed body parts and bloody wounds everywhere. Some of the more creative scenes find inspiration in the films of David Cronenberg, with a Videodrome-influenced chest slicing effect and a Scanners-like head explosion. The most fun effect occurs during one of Lucas' waking dreams, when the turkey that his family is having for dinner comes alive and looks back at him with Jenke's face, appearing to have come right out of John Carpenter's The Thing. If there's one thing that eighties horror films had to have, it was gore. KNB made sure that The Horror Show was up to par.
The music for The Horror Show was done by another one of the House series veterans, iconic horror composer Harry Manfredini (the Friday the 13th movies). Like most of Manfredini's scores, the soundtrack to The Horror Show eschews the typical eighties moog synthesizer compositions and opts for a much more traditional and suspenseful horror score, percussive yet orchestral, full of impact and punch. No one writes a better accompaniment to a psycho-killer stalking scene than Harry Manfredini, whether it's Meat Cleaver Max or Jason Voorhees. Manfredini's work on The Horror Show is nowhere near as renowned as his iconic ki-ki-ki ha-ha-ha motif from the Friday the 13th score, but it is still timeless and tense, and it sets the nerve-wracking tone for the entire film.
Lance Henriksen is still playing the no-nonsense quasi-hero in movies like It's in the Blood and Phantom when he's not taking roles on television shows like "Hannibal" and "TRON: Uprising." He's showing no signs of slowing down, either, with more than a dozen films slated for release in the next couple of years. The Horror Show may not be as well-known as Aliens or Pumpkinhead, but it shows Henriksen at his protagonistic best.

OAKLAND, Calif. — The NBA official pushed a metal box on wheels to the Houston Rockets' locker room, early in the fourth quarter, on Saturday at Oracle Arena. Inside the box held the coveted 2018 NBA Western Conference championship trophy. The trophy was for the taking by the Rockets, but it will instead be flown to Houston, where they will compete with the Golden State Warriors in a deciding Game 7 on Monday night for the bigger prize of a trip to the NBA Finals.
The Rockets have not been to the NBA Finals since 1995 and had a prime chance to claim their ticket on Saturday. Star guard Chris Paul arrived on the Oracle Arena floor in sweats during pregame introductions but did not suit up after suffering a right hamstring injury late in Game 5. But the Rockets appeared on their way to the Finals as they held a 39-22 lead at the end of the first quarter Saturday.
Houston needed a third scorer to join Gordon and leading NBA MVP candidate James Harden sans Paul. With 10 points in the first quarter, Trevor Ariza seemed fit to fill Paul's shoes. Houston held a 61-51 halftime lead and was just another solid half away from winning the West.
"I guarantee if we start [Game 7] out like we did tonight and they jump out to the lead, it's going to be 10 times harder to make it a game," Warriors guard Stephen Curry said.
The third quarter is when the Warriors usually throw their best punches. So while the reigning champs were on the ropes, Golden State then regained the lead and took control of the game by outscoring Houston mightily, 33-16, in the third quarter. Curry and Klay Thompson re-enacted their old "Splash Brothers" routine by combining for 21 points and seven made 3-pointers in the third.
Will Harden's dunk on Green alter NBA history?
With 9:39 left in the fourth quarter, the Western Conference championship trophy was being wheeled to the Rockets' locker room — but it was just a practice run, as the Rockets were down 89-77 at the time and were outscored 31-9 in the fourth quarter to set up the deciding Game 7. Thompson, Curry and Kevin Durant scored 35, 29 and 23 points, respectively, on the night.
"Defensively we've got to be in tune and be engaged for 48 minutes. When we win, that's what happens," Rockets guard James Harden said.
The momentum has certainly shifted to the Warriors after their 29-point victory in Game 6.
Golden State has experience playing in major Game 7s, with its most recent appearance resulting in defeat to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals. The Warriors advanced to those Finals by knocking out Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder after overcoming a 3-1 deficit in the conference finals.
Considering those previous Game 7 results for Curry and Durant, they didn't seem too interested in reminiscing. But both were excited about the challenge back on the road and made reference to the fact that the Warriors did win Game 1 in Houston, 119-106.
Paul's stellar play was the key reason why the Rockets won Games 4 and 5, but it would be a shock to see him on the Toyota Center floor in Game 7. No Paul, no momentum. Harden and the Rockets will be under a lot of pressure playing at home for a franchise thirsty to make its first Finals appearance in 23 years. If there is good news for the Rockets, it's that they're playing at home, where they are 2-1 against the Warriors in this series and will have an emotional crowd in red cheering for them.
With Paul likely out for the Rockets, all eyes will be on Harden in arguably the biggest game thus far in his projected Hall of Fame career. Harden actually has a 2-0 record in Game 7s with averages of 24 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game while shooting 40 percent from 3-point range, according to Basketball Reference. But neither Game 7 performance was in the conference finals with stakes this high.
Harden claims there is "no pressure" and he is excited about the opportunity.
Well, the way for the three-time defending Western conference champions involves a do-or-die game in Houston with a fourth straight trip to the NBA Finals on the line on Memorial Day.
"It's going to be fun. It's what you play for, to be in a situation where you're one win away from going to the Finals. Pressure both ways because of how big the moment is, and you've got to want it," Curry said.
Either way, the NBA will open that metal box on Monday to give the winner the well-traveled Western Conference trophy.

An enjoyable time on public transit.
For the last two days of our anniversary vacation, Linda and I have traveled by the public bus routes throughout much of Vancouver. This has been a truly wonderful experience. For $1.75 per person, we were able to travel to any area in the greater Vancouver area. These busses were driven by electric overhead wires; all electric, which adds to Vancouver's desire to be the most green city in the world by 2020.
On Tuesday, June 13, we travelled to the Vancouver Aquarium. This is not my favorite activity, but it is ranked as one of the highlights of Vancouver. As aquariums go, it was a nice experience. The aquarium was filled with people, many school groups, and a service staff that is very pleasant. The aquarium itself was very clean in all areas, including the restrooms and the food courts. Some of the students, especially the boys, were sometimes loud and boisterous, but were respectful of others, meaning they did not obstruct anyone from viewing nature's beauty.
On Wednesday, we traveled to the University of British Columbia to visit the Museum of Anthropology. This was absolutely fantastic, showing art, tools, and clothing from the many cultures of the indigenous peoples of the world. This was one museum that I truly enjoyed; I could have stayed much longer than we did. We missed the connecting bus to bring us to the city hub just outside the campus. Rather than wait a half hour for the next, we decided to walk through the campus to the hub; about a 20-minute walk.
We wondered at the diversity of the University and the obvious impact of the types of natural sciences the school offers. I was very thrilled by the diversity of the students. They represented all colors, all nationalities, and all age groups; and, they interacted beautifully; there was a feeling of close congeniality. Although, they did seem to stick with their ethnicities.
On the bus ride returning to our hotel area, there were a group of eight high school girls who were with us on the bus. These were the typical and universal mid-teen girls; they were dressed in skin-tight genes, purchased with many holes in the knees and legs. They all had lots of silver (braces) in their mouths; and they giggled and closed ranks with whispered secrets that brought on more giggling. It was an interesting bus trip. However, they all displayed a delightful respect for elders. Every time an elderly person entered the bus, they gave up their seats so that the person could be seated, rather than be forced to stand. Watching the respect these students showed their elders was impressive and a delight to see. I am ashamed to admit that the students I see in the United States are too spoiled to offer the same respect to their elders.
The parents, teachers, and other mentors are to be congratulated for a proper upbringing of these students. I pray that we can do the same.

The 7 top vegan leathers influencing the fashion world in 2022
Piñatex
Mango leather
MuSkin
Wine leather
Desserto leather
Coconut leather
Recently, the biggest news in fashion and leather circles is that the world's first vegan MuSkin handbag debuted at Paris Fashion Week as part of Stella McCartney's Summer 2022 collection presentation. The Frayme Mylo bags are manufactured from Mylo.The vegan leather they use to make the bags are extracted from fast-growing mycelium (mushroom root system) by startup Bolt Threads.This is a significant symbol for the fashion industry to commit to environmental protection.
As mentioned in one of my previous articles, the global vegan leather market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 48.1% during the forecast period of 2020-2026. By 2025, the vegan leather market will be worth $89.6 billion.
Here, we have compiled a list of all 7 types of vegan leather that are widely used or are emerging in the industry.
In our list, you will find the biggest, best and most comprehensive vegan leather alternatives on the web.
Piñatex (aka pineapple leather)
Pinatex is one of the first natural vegan leather brands to emerge as an alternative to PU and PVC, which have been widely used in animal-free products over the past few years but are harmful to the environment.
Piñatex, developed by Ananas Anam, is a natural and sustainable textile made from pineapple leaves. pinatex has leather-like qualities and at the same time, it is much more environmentally friendly than PU and PVC leather.
Dr. Carmen Hijosa is the founder and Chief Creative and Innovation Officer of Ananas Anam Ltd.After working in the leather industry for a long time, she is well aware of the ecological damage caused by the leather manufacturing process and has been developing natural, sustainable alternatives to leather for many years.
The production of Pinatex not only provides an alternative to leather, but also creates new opportunities for pineapple growing countries; and harvesting them requires no additional land, water, fertilizers or pesticides.
After harvesting the pineapples, the leaves are collected from the plantations, and after a series of steps such as fiber extraction, washing and drying, purification, and finishing, they are made into a durable non-woven fabric.
The Dutch startup Fruitleather Rotterdam has created Mango leather, a durable vegan leather made from leftover mangoes from fruit markets.
The company uses leftover mangoes from fruit markets, mashing them, boiling them to eliminate bacteria, and then, after a series of steps, the resulting puree is applied to the surface of the bag and dried to create a "durable, corrosion-resistant leather-like material".
Founders Koen Meerkerk and Hugo De Boon say they have been experimenting for years with how to turn leftover fruit into a durable leather-like material in order to bring eco-friendly and animal-friendly products to market.
Koen Meerkerk said, "We live in a world of increasing resource scarcity and it's time to make a change."
Compared to animal leather, creating a similar material from mangoes would not only reduce food waste, but would require fewer resources, be non-cruel to animals, and be more ethical.
MuSkin (aka mushroom leather)
People in the leather industry have been debating for years whether to use animal skins to make fine clothing, and the reason why it has caused such a heated debate is that tanning leather requires the use of chemicals that have a serious impact on the environment.
Muskin, invented by Zero Grado Espace in Monte Lupo, Florentino, solves these problems perfectly: it is a vegetable leather, made from a special kind of mushroom, which is treated without using any polluting substances.
MuSkin is one of the best-known vegan leather materials available, and it resembles cowhide in appearance, but is made from the top of the mulberry mushroom – which is naturally tanned to have a leather-like appearance.
Because it is 100% vegetable-based, it is biodegradable and takes up a very small environmental footprint compared to traditional cowhide.
MuSkin is made from a giant, inedible mushroom that is native to subtropical forests. Once extracted, this material is processed in a similar manner to animal leather, but using completely natural techniques, which include the use of eco-friendly products and more.
Because it is made from natural materials, Muskin is ideal for the production of shoes, hats, bags, linings (for cloth and furniture) and is a good substitute for animal leather.
Wine leather ( aka grape skin leather )
Wine leather, also known as grape leather, is produced by Vegea, an Italian technology company. The basic idea behind the project was to create a 100% recyclable vegan leather alternative.
Vegea's Wine leather not only has the feel of traditional leather and has similar properties, but it also has other advantages.
For starters, it doesn't require any water to produce – unlike traditional leather, which requires a huge water footprint. In addition, Wine leather does not require a complicated and toxic tanning process. It is an excellent alternative to animal leather, both in terms of environmental protection and appearance.
Last March, fast fashion giant H&M will collaborate with Vegea to launch handbags and shoes made from Wine leather. The collection also features a new dyeing process that uses waste coffee grounds and recycled polyester for fabric dyeing.
In an interview with Vogue magazine, H&M sustainability manager Pascal Brun said, "In the future, we need to use more biomaterials and more waste."
"The company's commitment to sustainability will further extend to the design process and longevity of its products, and encourage customers to "have more sustainable behaviors."

Desserto leather ( aka cactus leather )
Earlier, Mexican entrepreneurs Adrian Lopez and Marte Cazarez developed a vegan alternative to leather, which is made from cactus.
For its extreme innovation, the invention also won the VII International Green Product Award in Munich, Germany.
This natural and organically tanned cactus-based organic material is called Desserto leather, and it has all the characteristics and functions of animal leather at a fraction of the cost.
They are non-toxic and do not contain toxic chemicals, phthalates, or PVC, according to Fashion United.
"This fabric is biodegradable because it is extremely durable."
Coconut leather ( aka coconut leather )
Indian startup Malai has developed a coconut leather that uses bacterial cellulose extracted from coconut water, which is then processed, refined and mixed with other natural fibers (such as banana, hemp or teak leaves) to create a durable, leather-like material.
Coconut leather does not use any toxic substances or any plastic coating at any stage of the production cycle, and the end product is not only vegan-friendly, but also much less resource-intensive than real leather.
The use of cork dates back 3500 years and in modern times, HZCORK is already one of the experts in the cork industry with more than 10 years of experience in cork production. Natural cork fabric, also known as cork leather, is made from shavings taken directly from the cork oak tree. Cork leather begins with harvesting, stripping the outside of the bark to expose the inner cork. This can be done without harming the tree itself, as the outer bark is able to regenerate itself! In fact, it has been suggested that harvesting cork can actually extend its life.
Once used for 25 years, cork can be harvested every 9 to 12 years without causing permanent damage to the bark. For the average cork oak (which can be over 200 years old), the harvest can last up to 16 times.
Cork leather is environmentally and ecologically friendly. The material is a great alternative to animal leather or vinyl because it is sustainable, washable, stain resistant, durable, antibacterial and hypoallergenic.
The main advantages of cork leather over animal leather are:
It is vegan: While all animal leather is a by-product of the meat industry, the product comes from animal skins. Cork leather is vegetable based and therefore vegetarian.
Harvesting is beneficial to trees: If done properly, the harvesting process is beneficial to trees because it enhances the uptake of carbon dioxide by trees.
Less chemicals in the manufacturing process: The tanning process of animal leather uses chemicals that are not environmentally friendly. Fewer chemicals are used in the manufacture of vegetable tanned animal leather, but they are still used. Cork leather can be environmentally friendly, but this depends very much on the fabric used to make it. For example, if polyester is used to support the cork, the fabric is not environmentally friendly because polyester cannot always be recycled and will decompose in about 500 years.
Lightweight: It is very lightweight, which is a key benefit. While animal leathers are not necessarily thick, there are thinner leathers that are typically used for clothing that are also very light.
Sewability and Flexibility: This material is very easy to use because of its flexibility and thinness. It is partly fabric, so if you are familiar with sewing fabric, you can choose cork leather and use your known techniques.
Versatility: From a design point of view, there are a large number of designs and colors to choose from. This is not necessarily an advantage over animal leather, but it is an advantage over cork leather in general. You won't get bored with the multitude of designs out there.
Durability: In washing tests, we noticed that the cork layer came off the fabric easily. The cork layer is thin and by itself can be torn by hand like paper. What holds it together and gives it shape is the fabric to which it is attached. Animal leather is difficult to tear, and even the thinnest leather requires at least scissors to cut through.
Cork leather has a similar feel to animal leather or vinyl. It feels like quality leather: soft, smooth and supple. It's not hard or brittle. Cork fabric looks stunning and unique. Use it for handmade bags, purses, clothing decor, craft projects, appliqués, embroidery, shoes or upholstery.
Because of the eco-friendly nature of cork leather and its versatility, more and more brands are being attracted to and using it, whether in the fashion world for bags, clothes to jewelry, in the automotive field or in other areas.

In the road of environmental sustainability we can see the figure of major brands, especially sports fashion and luxury brands, the material, design, concept and technology of the product, each step needs to be constantly innovated to bring new ideas to consumers and the industry.
In October 2017, Gucci made the decision to say it would no longer use fur by spring 2018. burberry promised to drop fur from all future collections in September 2018.
In December 2018, Chanel announced that it would stop using fur and exotic animal skins as fashion textiles.
H&M had introduced jackets made from a leather alternative made from the newly developed pineapple leaf cellulose in its Conscious Exclusive 2019 collection
Dutch Amsterdam-based footwear
Brand Mercer Amsterdam is launching sneakers made from plant leather in 2020. The raw materials for the sneakers include plant leather, recycled plastic bottles and EVA plastic soles produced on the basis of seaweed extracts.
Adidas is working on a new "plant leather" material for shoe manufacturing, made from mycelium material as an alternative to leather, to reduce the use of animal materials.
Many fashion brands are moving away from animal leather, and CORK, CRUELTY FREE, ETHICAL FASHION, SUSTAINABLE FASHION, VEGAN AND SUSTAINABLE FASHION, VEGAN FASHION, VEGAN FASHION BLOGGER, VEGAN LEATHER, these labels are the future of fashion!
