Meet the Man Behind the Camera
January 8, 2016 by Drew Mehl
Near the end of 2015, Binary Pulse was pleased to welcome Douglas Miller aboard as our new Director of Photography and Editorial. In this role, Douglas will be a critical part of our video production and content generation efforts.
With his strong creative skillset, technical know-how and keen knack for visual storytelling (not to mention a seemingly pathological addiction to anything with a lens on it), Douglas significantly expands the capabilities and sensibilities we can bring to bear for our clients. We're excited to have him aboard. Take a few minutes to get acquainted.
Q: What got you started as a Director of Photography?
A: When I was around eight years old, my father was working for a cable provider called Group W Cable. He was in marketing and doing a TV promotional with The Disney Channel where he brought cameras into our home to feature a regular family using the service. Once I saw the camera crew, I was hooked.
From that point on, I would do anything to try to get my hands on a camera – even resorting to building my own from shoe boxes and toilet paper rolls. When we would travel to Houston to see my grandparents, I would always take my grandfather's Canon SLR outside and chart out camera moves, basically teaching myself the art of focus and depth of field.
Once I figured out "how" things were done from a lens POV, movies were never the same for me. I was drawn to certain types of films and their cinematography more than the story – such as Vilmos Zsigmond for Close Encounters and Peter Suschitzky for The Empire Strikes Back – which changed everything for me as a child (and my friends).
Q: What sort of experiences have defined your career to this point?
A: I have been lucky enough to cover a lot of ground over my career. I have shot everything from reality TV to feature films to corporate industrials to documentaries.
One of my more memorable shoots was filming for The Boeing Company, delivering multiple TV and corporate video spots from 2006-2010. I was able to travel all over the country and chronicle some really interesting technology.
But a documentary and commercial spot I shot for The City of Hope were definitely the turning point for me. The people, the mission and the cause just struck me at my core. My father passed away from cancer in 2007 at the young age of 59. So to be able to work for such a change-maker in cancer research was an honor. I took a fully cinematic approach to our content capture, from the set through to editorial. I wanted to make a mini-film, not merely a "video".
Q: When it comes to the craft of visual storytelling, what's important to you?
A: Great lensing, great lensing, great lensing. I love to show the audience a different perspective of the story. I love to shoot "through" objects, blending the reality of the scene with an element of organic art, natural lighting and a shallow depth of field that fills out the frame. Every shot should be interesting, even when it's not natively. A simple shot of a trashcan in an alley can be made "cinematic" if you just find the right angle, light and obstruction.
I also am a big fan of keeping the camera moving, ever so gently – a secret from the 1980s blockbusters. Back then, the cameras were so heavy they were always on a dolly with key scenes and establishing shots slowly moving from side-to-side and/or up to the subject. I love that. It brings back that big budget feel. Everything today, I feel, is handheld. That works for some content (reality, sports or action), but I miss the slow dolly moves.
Q: What attracted you to Binary Pulse?
A: I just love the color orange…just kidding (but I do). Binary Pulse has that technology edge that I so missed in my previous agency as a DP. I'm a "sci-fi-tech-gadget-freak." I crave new tech like I crave food – especially as the art of cinematography and storytelling becomes more and more digital. I feel Binary Pulse has the top-notch clientele, creative talent and the storytelling ability that I was longing for. We really have strong animation and motion skills to complement live action. I'm excited to be part of the team.
Q: What type of projects do you think are important to Binary Pulse clients? How should they be applying video?
A: Every brand has a story and every team member has a different perspective on how that story impacts them. Today, reality is king and I really feel that our clients' stories need to be told, from those who best know them. With the impact that social media plays, I think when potential consumers and/or companies are looking to trust a brand, it is important that their real voice be front and center.
In addition to product videos, I feel clients should invest in a brand anthem to be featured on their homepage that talks their talk and puts their mission, vision and values out into the open. I also believe in the follow-up – each anthem should be supported by multiple social media "mini-documentaries" that reinforce those beliefs from senior leadership to frontline employees. You cannot deny a company that puts transparency first, especially with technology brands.
Lastly, I feel our clients can gain value in their current videos or animations by evolving them to include cinematic live action scenes to demonstrate their products. Often times, we as consumers are shown the basics of a technology via animation and its potential benefits via text. But what if we could actually show that in "real life"? Seeing is believing and sometimes just the extra added production value of professional cinematography can enhance the brand perception with consumers dramatically.

« Terry Bowden to Akron would signal end of the FSU pipeline to North Alabama | Main | Is Notre Dame fired up for the Champs Bowl? The answer from on-campus Irish writer »
Seminoles hogtied in Hogtown
by Bill from Tampa
The game between rivals Florida State and Florida was billed as a potent offense against a stellar defense.
Chalk one up for the potent offense. In part anyway.
The Gators had one of the best shooting games any team has had against the Seminoles all season in connecting on 48% of their shots including 10 three pointers.
But it was the 19 FSU turnovers that led to 25 UF points that was the back breaker, culminating in a 82-64 loss by the Seminoles.
The 'Noles led just once in the game, 2-0, on a hook shot by Xavier Gibson to start the game. It would be nearly eight minutes before FSU scored another point. By that time UF had built a 14-2 lead.
FSU was poised to take the lead trailing 14-13 after Terry Whisnant connected on a catch and shoot from the left wing. Three straight turnovers by the Seminoles however allowed the Gators to stretch the lead back to 25-16 with 4:02 left in the half.
The Seminoles did manage to work their way back into the game, 25-23, primarily because the Gators missed six free throws.
Erving Walker however closed out the half with 5 of 6 from the stripe.The last two came with 5.3 seconds left after Ian Miller, seeing his first action of the season, committed a foul 30 feet from the basket.
That put UF up 32-24 at the break.
Once again Florida State pulled itself into a position to take the lead. Trailing by five, Michael Snaer put up an off balance underhand shot that banked in plus the foul to make the score 38-36 at the 16-53 mark.
That would be as close as the Seminoles would get, and turned out to be their last chance to win the game.
UF proceeded to go on a 18-2 run to lead 56-40 with 11:07 to play. During that Florida run Florida State turned the ball over on four of five possessions.
At that point even with that much time left, the game became essentially a matter of margin.
The task for FSU was tough enough in attempting to hold down the UF trio of guards, but the Seminoles were for the most part shut down in the lane, being outscored 34-26 in points in the paint. Patric Young was a perfect 7-7 from the floor in scoring 15. Forward Eric Murphy added 11 while FSU's threesome of bigs could only manage 22 total points led by Gibson's 10.
Leonard Hamilton was not pleased with his team's effort saying after the game "we didn't compete very hard .... they were more physical and more aggressive with their toughness."
"I hate to admit it, but we did not compete well", Hamilton said. "We are not doing the things I think we should be doing at this time of the year."
Among those things were once again turnovers and missed point blank shots (11).
"We are not being focused or strong enough with the ball."
After falling to 8-4 on the season Hamilton made it clear that changes will most likely be made.
"I thought this team would be better than last year, but going with this big lineup is not working," Hamilton commented. "The big lineup is not going to be the answer."
Look for lineup adjustments along the front line, more than likely Gibson back to the center spot and Okaro White back to the four.
Luke Loucks led the Seminoles with 15 points and Whisnant had a flurry of long bombs in the closing minutes to finish with 11.
FSU shot 41% from the floor and was 90% from the line. However the 'Noles took just 10 free throw attempts indicating the lack of aggressiveness Hamilton mentioned.
Florida put all five starters in double figures led by freshman Bradley Beal's 21.
The Seminoles will take a few days off for Christmas and return to the floor December 30th to host Princeton. Tip off is at 7:00 PM. There is no television for the game.

Hurricane recovery workers face safety, health and wage problems according to report
KEYWORDS disaster response / extreme weather / hazardous material / occupational exposure
Posted with permission from Confined Space, a newsletter of workplace safety and labor issues.
Substandard conditions in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey have impacted workers' health and safety on the job, as well as their wages according to a devastating new report from from the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) and University of Illinois Chicago that surveyed 360 workers. The report also offers recommendations for improving working conditions during post-disaster recovery operations.
Hurricanes and other disasters present a major challenge for OSHA and other local and national government agencies dedicated to protecting workers during recovery operations. As the report notes, day laborers take on the dangerous work of helping residents and business owners with the removal of debris, the demolition of damaged structures; and the repair and rebuilding of damaged structures. "These include dangers associated with contaminated water, downed electrical wires, damaged and unstable structures, and exposure to mold and other fungi. For those who are working at unsafe heights to repair roofs, trim trees, and replace siding, there is a danger of falling from building tops, scaffolds, or ladders."
These hazards are compounded by long work hours, the rapid pace of work and the unknown dangers of the specific hazards at any given worksite.
Hurricanes and other disasters present a major challenge for OSHA and other local and national government agencies dedicated to protecting workers during recovery operations.
The report describes how recovery workers, defined as "second responders" work in hazardous conditions without training or proper equipment, and are injured as a result. According to the researchers,
Second responders are not receiving the training they need to protect themselves from hazards during post-disaster recovery. Eighty-five percent of day laborers who have worked in hurricane-affected areas report that they have not received any training for the worksites they are entering. Similarly, 87 percent have not been informed about risks related to unsafe buildings, 85 percent have not been informed about risks related to mold, 85 percent have not been informed of risks of working in contaminated water, and 83 percent have not received training for working around fallen trees or electrical lines.
Most day laborers do not have the personal protective equipment they need. Nearly one-third (32%) do not have work gloves, 40 percent do not have protective eyewear, 41 percent do not have steel-toed boots, 61 percent do not have a respirator, and 64 percent do not have a hard hat.
More than one-third (34%) of workers reported having been injured while employed as a day laborer in Houston. Most injuries were related to puncture wounds, ergonomic hazards, falls and broken bones. In addition, twenty-seven percent report difficulty breathing, 28 percent skin rashes and swelling, 35 percent report recurring headaches, and 40 percent report watery eyes or eye infection. Of those who suffered an injury, 67 percent indicated that the workplace was unsafe, 63 percent said that the injury was due to lack of protective equipment, and 52 percent said that they were injured due to pressure to work faster.
In addition to the health and safety issues, recovery workers also rampant wage theft. "In just the first four weeks of disaster recovery, more than one-quarter (26%) of day laborers have been victims of wage theft and the total amount of unpaid wages across this workforce in this short period exceeded $20,000."
Compounding the health and safety, and wage and hour problems, "nearly two-thirds (64%) of the day laborers who identified themselves as being undocumented immigrants indicated that they do not feel safe asking for help from government officials." There are an estimated 575,000 undocumented immigrants in the Houston area and 72 percent of day laborers in the area are undocumented. And even if they were comfortable approaching government officials for help, very few workers even knew what agencies to approach.
The report also had a number of recommendations, including:
Develop Worker Centers as "Disaster Recovery Hubs" so that day labor worker centers, labor unions, and other organizations that directly engage informally employed workers are prepared to equip second responders with personal protective equipment and provide health and safety training.
Suspend Immigration Enforcement within the disaster zone so that undocumented workers will feel free to report employment violations, access emergency services, and seek medical care. And recovery operations continue for years. Immigration protections should be extended beyond the immediate emergency period
Provide increased budgets and dedicated investigators for local agencies that who visit informal hiring sites and worksites where day laborers are employed.
A recent Associated Press article about day laborers in Houston described the conditions that the day laborers work under and how many of them are unaccustomed to construction work and have come in from other areas.
Guillermo Miranda Vazquez starts his day in a parking lot near the Home Depot where he easily finds work alongside other day laborers who are cleaning up Houston after Hurricane Harvey.
Some days, he clears rotted drywall and hauls out furniture and carpet destroyed by Harvey's floodwaters. Other days, he chops fallen trees or helps to lay the foundations for new homes. He ventures daily into homes wearing a T-shirt, work pants and tennis shoes, often while surrounded by the pungent stench and raw sewage that flowed into homes during the flooding.
"I always wash and scrub myself, and I use alcohol or something similar so that I don't get infected," said Miranda, a native of Guatemala. "I haven't gotten sick yet."
Another worker, Martin Mares, a native of Mexico who came to Houston more than 20 years ago, reported that he "recently saw a pregnant woman cleaning an apartment building that had flooded without wearing gloves. 'People don't analyze it. They don't see the consequences' Mares said. 'They go to work without knowing whether the business will even pay them.'"
An article by Think Progress describes the other problems facing undocumented workers in the Houston area.
In addition to being exposed to mold and chemicals as well as experiencing wage theft, undocumented workers have already suffered from the devastation of the storm in unique ways due to poverty, lack of insurance, and their undocumented status. There are some 600,000 undocumented immigrants in Houston. After the hurricane, many undocumented people were afraid to use local shelters because of their immigration status or didn't want to leave homes because they were concerned about protecting property. Although local and federal officials have tried to persuade undocumented people that they are not there to enforce immigration laws, undocumented people are still worried about the risk of seeking help.
None of this information is a major surprise to OSHA or workplace safety and health experts. We've been seeing untrained and ill-equipped workers getting hurt, and sometimes killed in every natural disaster — Katrina, Sandy and now Harvey. (And God only knows what's happening in Puerto Rico.)
OSHA responds by moving staff into the affected region from other parts of the country. But that's expensive, and OSHA rarely is provided with additional funding to address natural disasters. OSHA has also worked closely with local worker centers and labor unions who provide advice and services for day laborers. After Sandy, which hit the New York and New Jersey region in 2013, some of the worker centers had already received Susan Harwood Training grants, ensuring that many day laborers already had training. OSHA also worked with a number of public health organizations and equipment manufacturers to ensure that adequate personal protective equipment was available. And Congress, as part of the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013, provided an additional $1.2 million to provide funding to worker centers focusing on Sandy recovery.
There is no excuse to not be prepared to protect the workers that help rebuild peoples homes — and their lives — after a disaster.
But much more needs to be done on the federal level. Here are a few ideas:
If federal agencies like OSHA can expect to see devastating natural disaster on a regular basis, provisions need to be made for a permanent emergency fund that the agency can draw on to ramp up worker protection activities after a disaster without seriously impacting the annual budget.
More training money should be made available under the Susan Harwood Training Grant program to ensure that worker centers, unions and other non-profit in hurricane-prone areas have been able to train large numbers of day laborers before disaster strikes. And provision should be made for emergency supplemental grant funding to provide training for long periods after the disaster hits.
Federal OSHA needs to work more closely with FEMA and local emergency response authorities to pre-coordinate actions to protect workers during recovery operations and arrange for local authorities to make referrals to federal or state OSHAs when unsafe conditions are observed.
Personal Protective Equipment needs to be purchased and pre-positioned so that workers have access to it as soon a recovery operations begin. As the NDLON report notes, " recovery work begins right away, even as neighborhoods remain under water, power has yet to be fully restored, and health and safety hazards abound."
In addition to suspending immigration enforcement, efforts should be made to inform undocumented workers that OSHA will enforce safe working conditions regardless of a worker's immigration status.
We have now had the benefit of learning the lessons from disasters like 9/11, Katrina, Sandy and now Harvey. Protecting clean-up workers after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill also provided valuable emergency response lesson for OSHA and other federal agencies. We know what we have to do, and we know that we can expect to experience many more, and more frequent extreme weather events in the future. There is no excuse to not be prepared to protect the workers that help rebuild peoples homes — and their lives — after a disaster.

It looks quite capable and supports a bunch of processors, including ARM of course, though sadly appears not to include Xtensa.
I was able to load a digic 6 dump with minimal fuss.
Wondering if anyone is familiar with Ghidra, a recently opensourced disassembly tool, that might complement some of the other tools we use?
I tried it briefly on windows. It's straightforward to set up and looks quite good. Java based UI is ugly as sin. Analyzing a full firmware takes a long time.
* It will prompt you to analyze. I clicked NO because I want to add additional copied code first.
* Analysis - auto-analyze. I left the options at default, but just disassembling rather than decompiling might be a better initial choice.
Version Tracking refers to the process used by reverse engineers to identify matching code or data between different software binaries. One common use case is to version track two different versions of the same binary. Alternatively, version tracking techniques can be used to check for the presence of of a particular piece of code within a given binary of interest.
Here's a ghidra python script to import funcs_by_address.csv.
Window->python gives you an interactive python interpreter where you can use the script API.
Thanks for making that script.
... but the overall impression is positive.

Multi-disciplinary knowledge: as software systems become prevalent in all walks of life, we encourage students to have an open attitude and be able to acquire new knowledge outside their discipline to be able to tackle real problems and deliver quality solutions.
This approach is reflected in the development and teaching of software engineering workshops, Honours and postgraduate supervision and in the elaboration of multidisciplinary curriculum modules.

Some genetic mutations such as STK11, BRCA1 and BRCA2 increase the risk for both ovarian cancer and breast cancer. Ovarian cancer survivors who these mutations are at higher risk for breast cancer than women with ovarian cancer who do not have a mutation. The exact risk for breast cancer after ovarian cancer is unknown, but may depend on a number of factors. Research indicates that ovarian cancer survivors with a BRCA mutation survive longer than average compared with ovarian cancer survivors with sporadic cancer, so it is important for ovarian cancer survivors to understand their risk for breast cancer and take appropriate steps to manage their risk.
Genetic experts can help ovarian cancer survivors with an inherited mutation determine their risk for breast cancer and develop a risk management plan.

A Hands-On Effort to Feed the Hungry
Many hands make light work.- John Heywood, 16th century writer
The 50 volunteers at the Sept. 24 Rise Against Hunger event proved the truth of this age-old adage, as they assembled and packaged 10,152 meals in a record time of just 70 minutes. The numbers pack a powerful impact: the highly nutritious meals will be distributed to feed the hungry in the Delaware community, in Houston and Florida as part of the ongoing relief efforts for those affected by hurricanes Harvey and Irma, and to support school feeding programs worldwide. Sponsored by Uday Jani, MD and RISE Fitness, the unique community event represented a very tangible way to make a difference.
From the start, it was sleeves up and hair nets on for the 17 Shore View Personal Care patients who worked alongside Dr. Jani, his staff and family, and volunteers from RISE Fitness. All contributed both money and time to ensure swift packaging of the dehydrated meals, which contain rice, soy, vegetables and 23 essential vitamins and minerals in an easy-to-transport form.
"We all look at images of people in need of the basics most of us take for granted – nutritious meals, water, shelter – and feel saddened and overwhelmed," said Dr. Jani. "The Rise Against Hunger initiative gave us a chance to come together as a community in a hands-on effort that required more than a simple monetary donation…the food we packed literally went directly from our helping hands to feed thousands of hungry mouths. I am grateful to all who helped us provide this life-changing aid to those who need it most."

'Atlanta' Renewed For Season 4
Sep 06, 2016 - Present
Earnest - Donald GloverAlfred - Brian Tyree HenryDarius - Keith StanfieldVan - Zazie Beetz
The early pickup comes well ahead of the comedy's third season.
FX announced today that Atlanta has been renewed for a fourth season. The pickup is an early one, as the comedy has yet to air its third season. Speaking of Season 3, which was ordered over a year ago, the cable network stated today that production on both upcoming seasons will begin next spring.
The series premiered in 2016 with a 10-episode run that went on to win numerous awards, including two Emmys and two Golden Globes, including one for Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy. Season 2 returned in 2018 with 11 episodes under the title Atlanta: Robbin' Season, with many hailing it as even better than the first.
Created by comedian and musician Donald Glover, who also stars in the series, Atlanta follows two cash-strapped cousins trying to better their lives by making a living in the city's hip hop scene.
FX Renews 'Atlanta'
Season 2 Episode 9: North of the Boarder had some of the funniest scenes I've ever seen on TV in my life. That episode was the bomb.
Even when some episodes failed you still had to admire this show's creativity. Donald Glover is a genius.
Chuck E Cheesier
It's not a bad show.. but it's off the air so long between the (short) seasons.. it's forgotten about fairly easily.
I'm very happy to hear that this series will be picked up for 2 Seasons back to back. with the main stars of the show all having great opportunities outside of the show I highly doubt they will be a season 5, but in the meantime we can enjoy season 3 and 4 in 2020.
Hell yeah! Love this show! Glad FX is working around Donald Glover's busy schedule to keep it going! One of the most creative shows on tv right now

Writing ought to be the easiest of the four skills for students of English as a Second or Foreign Language. Unlike listening and reading, the students control all the words. Unlike speaking, the students can go back, check their work, revise it, and resubmit it. It should then follow that writing would be one of the most popular courses to teach. Yet teachers never say, "I can't wait till I get tenure, so I can teach some of those composition classes of 35 students."
However, writing classes also offer the opportunity to see growth, to share important ideas, and to develop a sense of community. The tips in Fifty Ways to Teach Writing are chosen with that goal in mind -- to make it easier for students to succeed at becoming better writers, and for instructors to enjoy the teaching of writing.
Many textbooks do a fine job of presenting grammar to students. However, some students or classes need more practice after they've finished the exercises in their textbook.
This guide provides imaginative and enjoyable games, drills, and activities to practice different grammatical structures such as verb tenses, articles, phrasal verbs, pronouns, relative clauses, modals, word forms, syntax, and more.
Enliven your classes with information gaps, poems, game shows, guessing games, substitution drills, writing prompts, discussion topics, and more.
This book is made for students of English as a Second or Foreign Language.
You will learn 50 ways to notice, understand, and practice different grammatical structures in English. The book is divided into two sections: 1) Awareness activities, that help you become aware of structures and understand what they mean and how they function; 2) Practice activities, to boost your accuracy and help you become more fluent in using English correctly.
You do not need to be living in an English-speaking country or be currently taking an English class to use this book. However, students who are already in a class can also use this book to study and learn more effectively.
Learning another language is never fast, but the Fifty Ways to Practice series will speed things up by showing you how to practice more efficiently and effectively both inside and outside the classroom. It is useful for beginning through advanced levels.

IS THE KINDLE READER AS GOOD AS AMAZON SAYS IT IS? - AND WHAT ABOUT THE COMPETITION?
With the recent release of the Amazon Kindle ebook reader the Sony ebook reader range face some competition in this new and getting hotter market. Interestingly enough, most reviewers either love it or hate it - there doesn't seem to be any middle ground, despite it having some really neat features. Admittedly, a lot of the complaints seem to be where buyers have a specific requirement and the Kindle doesn't offer that function.
In all fairness, if you need it for something specific then make sure that it can do it!. Users, whilst generally hating the design, really love the functionality of the Kindle reader in that the navigation buttons are on either side so left or right handed people can use it with ease. The display, a 6" diagonal E-Ink electronic paper display, 600 x 800 pixel resolution at 167 ppi, 4-level gray scale which uses e ink although converted electronically tries to emulate newsprint and as such can be read easily in sunlight without the normal glare associated with PC screens. The Qwerty keyboard is used to control and take advantage of the Whispernet technology for downloading and surfing - it's a direct connection and doesn't need Wifi hotspots or ISP's. I discovered click by searching books in the library. I learned about The very best Debt Management Programs - Ways to Decide on by browsing Google. The battery, which takes about two hours to charge will give you one week of reading but much less if you're downloading but should last about 2 days.
You have access to Wikipedia, about 250 top blogs and a whole host of Newspapers. The fact that it is only the size of a paperback and weighs just 10.3 ounces with a capacity of 200 books means you'll never be short of reading material and the easily adjustable font size allows you to find a comfortable reading level according to the ambience around you. My sister discovered close remove frame by searching the Houston Sun-Times. It doesn't incorporate a backlit screen though so, if like me, you like reading in bed you'll still be juggling about with the torch!
If you're expecting an all singin' dancin' piece of technology in this ebook reader you'll probably be disappointed since it doesn't fully support PDF The Kindle can read unsecured Mobipocket books, and Amazon has provided a still experimental converter for unsecured PDFs. There is, however, no way to read encrypted versions of either format- annotating articles isn't possible - you're limited to the Kindle ebooks available and their pricing structure, also remember that the screen is black and white so magazine articles and pics will take some adjusting to.
The MP3 player seems to be causing some problems as it will only random play and the user has little control over this aspect and users think that Amazon, with its own encrypted books, are trying to ensure that all content comes from them and are just trying to exercise too much control. You can transfer over unencrypted ebooks via SD card or even email them to yourself but the latter choice incurs a 10c fee. Visit site link to discover the inner workings of it. There are a few options for storage if you exceed the Kindles memory - you can store them onto a SD card and then transfer them to your PC via USB or Amazon can store them online for you and it does seem possible that you can access Streamload's site via the Whispernet facility to up and download as you wish.
The main controversy that the Kindle reader opens up is that of pricing, not only of the reader itself but of ebooks in general. Many users of the reader are complaining about the price of some of the ebooks where there is only a small reduction in price compared to the hard back copy. Ebooks are growing in popularity all the time and it is going to be a while though before all publishers and retailers will get their heads together and sort out some commonalities. In comparison the Sony ebook readers don't have the advantage of the e-ink screen and may be more difficult to read in certain lighting conditions but it does give you easier access to a wider and cheaper range of ebooks.
So should you buy one? - if the higher price tag doesn't concern you and you're one of the "gotta have's" then you've probably already decided it should be on your list - personally I'd look at some of the alternatives and wait for not only a later version, which will probably be significantly cheaper anyway, but some of the niggling problem areas may well have been sorted.

Civilization 6 puts Gilgamesh in charge of Sumeria
By Joe Donnelly 2016-09-26T15:44:42.269Z
"He was said to be two thirds God and one third man."
This is becoming quite the party, isn't it? Let's have a head count: so far Trajan is here on behalf of Rome, Pericles is here with Greece, Norway's brought along Harald Hardrada, Mvemba a Nzinga is with Kongo, Gandhi leads India, Philip II is repping Spain, Queen Tomyris fronts Scythia, Qin Shi Huang heads China, the Aztecs host Montezuma, and Catherine de Medici is in charge of France. Oh, and Sean Bean's in there too.
Sumeria marks the latest addition to the Civilization 6 get together, headed by Gilgamesh—a brute force said to be "two thirds God and one third man." He's the hero of history's oldest known work of literature, says the following trailer, "but we're not sure if he was a living person or a legend."
What we are sure of, is his presence in Civ 6:
As detailed above, Sumeria's Epic Quest Ability means that capturing barbarian outpost nets you tribal village rewards. On the Unique Unit front, this civ boasts the War-Cart—a "crude woven basket atop four sturdy wooden wheels"—which suffers no penalties against spearmen or anti-cavalry units, making it particularly powerful early on.
So long as it's adjacent to a river, Sumeria's Unique Improvement ,The Ziggurat, provides science and culture, although can't be built atop a hill. Furthermore, Gilgamesh's leader ability is Adventures with Enkidu which allows him to "share pillage rewards and combat experience with the closest allied unit within five tiles."
If you'd like to learn more about the historical background of Sumeria's War-Cart and Ziggurat, head over to the game's official site. Civilization 6 is due October Check out our hands-on.

Music News: Soulja Boy Says Kanye West Inspires Him
Posted on November 16, 2010 by JNEL & J. Magazine
Soulja Boy is crediting a recent session with Kanye West for expanding his mind as a musician.
Last month, Soulja Boy visited New York City for media rounds and to shoot a cover for XXL magazine.
During his time there, Soulja worked with both 50 Cent and Kanye West.
While his work with 50 was released as a video, "Mean Mug", Soulja Boy's music with Kanye West has yet to be heard.
He revealed that Kid Cudi joined them, and they completed several verses for an undisclosed amount of tracks.
Working with Kanye, and hearing an advanced copy of 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy', helped Soulja Boy to different creative possibilities he can attempt with his own music.
"We got in the studio: me, Kanye and Kid Cudi. That was dope," Soulja Boy told AllHipHop.com. "He played some dope beats and we worked around a couple of samples and got a couple verses in. I listened to the finished product that Kanye is on, and that really opened my mind. I don't even want to say as a rapper, but as a musician. It really opens your mind to different sounds and drum kicks."
With the music still in the vaults, and Kanye's album tracklist confirmed, the next logical question is whether Kanye and Soulja's work will be showcased in an upcoming G.O.O.D. Friday drop.
Kanye's celebrated series runs until January, and has already featured artists ranging from Charlie Wilson and Keri Hilson, to Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj.
"We'll have to see," Soulja said with the laugh of someone caught red-handed. "There's been some leaking going on. Kanye was kind of mad about that. Wait for those Fridays…"
Soulja Boy's third solo album, 'The DeAndre Way', is set to be released on November 30.

Music In Ya Ear!: Rihanna ft. Drake – "What's My Name?"
Posted on November 16, 2010 November 16, 2010 by JNEL & J. Magazine
Rihanna's steamy collaboration Drake, the Island-infused love jam "What's My Name", off of Rihanna's 'LOUD' album, is the number one song in the country right now. Perfect timing for the song's video to drop, no? In the video, Rihanna and Drake get touchy-feely with one another.
Drake told the New York Times back in June about his brief relationship with Rihanna after she had asked him to write a song for her (that was never released).
"I was a pawn," he said. "You know what she was doing to me? She was doing exactly what I've done to so many women throughout my life, which is show them quality time, then disappear. I was like, wow, this feels terrible."
Looks like the two artists were able to kiss (on camera) and make up to make this sweet new video. We'll cheers to that!

Baby Bump: It's A Boy for Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz!
Alica Keys and Swizz Beatz are the proud parents of a brand new baby boy.
Keys and husband Beatz (real name: Kaseem Dean) "joyfully welcomed their first child, a son named, Egypt Daoud Dean on Thursday, Oct. 14 in New York City," said a rep, speaking to People magazine.
Keys and Beatz were recently married a few months ago (Saturday, July 31st), in a private ceremony on the Mediterranean coast in July.
The child is the first for Keys, and the fourth for Beatz. Swizz took it to his fans via Twitter on Thursday evening, and gave thanks for his family, by saying, "I'm so thankful for everything I been blessed with in my life."
Congrats to the happy couple!

Just In: Kid Cudi Pleads Guilty!
Kid Cudi made headlines this past June after cops discovered a controlled substance on his person following an altercation with a woman at her New York City apartment. But after being charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the 7th degree, he's getting off easy.
The Cleveland native pled guilty to the misdemeanor charge this past Friday, receiving a sentence of two days of community service, according to TMZ. Additionally, Cudi was ordered to steer clear of trouble over the next six months.
The 'Day 'N' Nite' rapper, who previously became a news fixture after he punched a fan during a Vancouver concert in December 2009, is gearing up for the release of his sophomore album 'Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager', due November 9. The sequel to his 2008 debut has already spawned the Kanye West-assisted single "Erase Me," for which he shot the video last week.

Just In: Baby Bump & Wedding Bells For Alicia Keys!
Alicia Keys is in a motherhood state of mind: She's pregnant with her first child and officially engaged to Swizz Beatz. Alicia is indeed 4 months pregnant will be married at a private ceremony later this year. Representatives for the couple confirmed the news Thursday night.
Beatz and Keys have been friends for several years and worked together on one song for her current album, "The Element of Freedom," the publicist said. He has also written hits for Beyonce', Jay-Z amongst others.
Keys last year teamed up with Jay-Z for a hit song about New York called "Empire State of Mind." She's among a string of international artists slated to perform at a June 10 concert to mark the start of the World Cup soccer tournament in South Africa.
Swizz Beatz, — whose real name is Kasseem Dean — has one son from his marriage to Mashonda Tifrere. He also has a second son from a previous relationship.
They would not say when the child is due, but weeks of photos have shown Keys noticeably fuller in the mid-section and sporting a collection of loose-fitting black tops.
"They're very happy," a source close to the couple said.

AD Xpress: Gisele Bündchen For London Fog
Posted on July 31, 2009 October 22, 2010 by JNEL & J. Magazine
She may have strutted her baby bump down a Brazilian runway just a little over a month ago, but when it comes to her latest ad campaign, Gisele Bündchen's bump is no where in sight. The supermodel, who is expecting her first baby with husband Tom Brady, shows off her famous body in just a barely-belted, classic London Fog trench coat for the brand's fall ad campaign. But don't expect to see a dramatic reveal of the supermodel's swelling tummy. "Although Gisele was photographed while pregnant, most of the shots have been retouched to respect her privacy during this wonderful and personal time in her life," Dari Marder Chief Marketing Officer, London Fog revealed in a press release. "Nobody is sexier or more beautiful than Gisele Bündchen in nothing but a London Fog trench coat, even with her visible baby bump," adds Marder. Make that barely-visible. Gisele's London Fog ads will debut in October fashion, lifestyle and entertainment magazines as well as on billboards and online.

The two types of love story and After I Left You
by alimercer June 24, 2013 November 8, 2017 Leave a comment
Aphrodite, by my daughter
Here's a narrative rule about love stories (but rules are made to be broken) – they usually work in one of two ways:
1.) The romance. Boy meets girl, or man meets woman, but they are separated by apparently insurmountable obstacles: pride and prejudice, for example, or social inequality and a mad wife in the attic. Eventually the obstacles are overcome and the couple are united. Jane Eyre is my favourite example of this kind of story – it's my Ur-romance, the one I read first.
2.) Is the inverse of 1.) The couple come together some time before the end, and the drive of the story, as it turns out, is towards separation, as insurmountable obstacles come between the lovers and force them apart.
It can be (should be?) hard to tell which kind of story you're reading till the very last page. Both use your uncertainty and doubt, and the suspense that creates, to hook you in and pull you through. Will they or won't they?
My second novel, After I Left You, uses two timelines to give the same two people two different love stories. In the present, they meet long after the end of their relationship; many years earlier, they encounter each other for the first time. It's not will they or won't they, so much as: why can't she (or shouldn't she)? It's not due to be published till January 2014, though, so if that's piqued your curiosity, there's a bit longer to wait to see how it turns out in the end.
Love and un-love, from Casablanca to Gone Girl
I have been told that readers, and viewers, like conclusive endings, and I think that is true, but some stories make a virtue out of uncertainty. Gone with the Wind is an obvious example: will-they-or-won't-they remains as a final hope, a grace note, conferring a tentative immortality on the sparring lovers by raising the possibility that they may one day rebound together yet again.
Here are some other classic films that fall into the second type (where the lovers fall apart rather than together):
Casablanca. Here the obstacle is War, the epic backdrop against which the troubles of three people don't amount to more than a hill of beans. But as far as we're concerned, of course, the individuals are epic, and the war is reduced to a horizon line, its details smoothed and miniaturised by distance.
Brief Encounter. Surely one of the most heartbreaking of love stories. Here the lovers are up against not just society and its values, but also their own morality – the imperative to be good and sad rather than bad and briefly, selfishly happy. I agree wholeheartedly with Zadie Smith's assertion, in a review published in her essay collection Changing My Mind, about what makes this film so distinctively English: when the couple decide they must part, most of their agonising final encounter is given over to politely passing the time of day with a busybody acquaintance. There really is no escaping other people.
Love Story. Girl meets boy, they fall in love; then she gets sick. There is nothing like definitive loss to define what has been lost.
Every love story needs opposition – whether it's war, ill health, other people, death – to tell us what love is. But love can be so mixed up with un-love (separation, isolation, anger, fear) that it is difficult to tell them apart. Gone Girl (which might more accurately be called a hate story than a love story) gets plenty of mileage out of our instinctive understanding of this: what possibilities lurk in the un-love we might prefer not to acknowledge?
When I studied Romeo and Juliet at school, our teacher pointed out how shrewd Shakespeare was to introduce a Romeo who professed to be in love with some other random girl, and was teased by his friends for being pathetic about it. When Juliet comes along we are in no doubt that this is suddenly the real thing. It's mutual, for a start. It's eloquent (it speaks in sonnets). The lovers are inspired, and transformed… but the odds are stacked up against them, in direct proportion to the strength of their feelings.
A blood feud is certainly an unpromising beginning to in-law relations. Not to mention the dawn that brings the lark and not the nightingale, the charm that works all too well, the message that fails to meet its destination, and, ultimately, mortality, the conclusion that waits to sever all lovers in the end (though in art at least, even that can be overcome).
What do we talk about when we talk about love?
Raymond Carver's short story What We Talk About When We Talk About Love is a brilliantly concise, and oblique, answer to the questions that all love stories ask: what is love, really, and how do we know when it's real? The story introduces two couples, who are going to discuss the subject for us by invoking the stories of other couples, all the while knocking back stacks of booze.
First up is Terri, who is, as her husband Mel says, a romantic 'of the kick-me-so-I'll-know-you-love-me school'. Terri describes an ex who beat her up one night: 'He dragged me around the living room by my ankles. He kept saying, I love you, I love you, you bitch… what do you do with love like that?' Terri is convinced this was love – 'he was willing to die for it. He did die for it,' but Mel is not so sure: 'I'm not interested in that kind of love… If that's love, you can have it.'
So then it's Mel's chance to have his say. What does he talk about when he talks about love? Well – I urge you to read the whole story to find out (it's only 13 pages long), but here's a taster: 'It seems to me we're just beginners at love. We say we love each other and we do, I don't doubt it… But sometimes I have a hard time accounting for the fact that I must have loved my first wife too. But I did. I know I did… How do you explain that? What happened to that love? What happened to it, is what I'd like to know. I wish someone would tell me.'
Also, if you haven't yet, read (or re-read) James Joyce's short story The Dead, about another lost love. See where it ends. See where the promise of love can take you. And see if the hairs don't stand up on the back of your neck.

We've added some floating shelves that now hold our cartridge games! With a mix of wire shelves and peg shelves, they are now safely in bags to prevent dust from getting to them. They are clustered by brand and generation.
We now have floor to top shelving for our left wall! Wire shelves hang neatly to hold our multitudes of games for the PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox, and Xbox 360! We plan to have these sorts on the back wall as well.

Wielki Wołoszyn (, , ) – położony na wysokości 2155 m szczyt w Tatrach Wysokich, najwyższy punkt grzbietu Wołoszyna, oddzielającego Dolinę Waksmundzką od Doliny Roztoki.

Szczyt znajduje się we wschodniej Grani Świnicy i jest drugim od zachodu z kilku wierzchołków położonych w grani Wołoszyna. Od zachodu graniczy z Małym Wołoszynem, od którego oddziela go Wołoszyńska Szczerbina. Mały Wołoszyn opada na przełęcz Krzyżne, w której okolicy oddziela się na północ grań Koszystej. Od strony północno-wschodniej Wielki Wołoszyn graniczy z Pośrednim Wołoszynem. Pomiędzy tymi dwoma szczytami leży Wyżnia Wołoszyńska Przełęcz. Z południowych stoków Wielkiego Wołoszyna opada do Doliny Roztoki Urwany Żleb, zaś z Wyżniej Wołoszyńskiej Przełęczy żleb Koryto.

Pierwsze odnotowane wejście: Eugeniusz Janota, Maksymilian Nowicki i przewodnik Maciej Sieczka, 16 sierpnia 1867. Pierwsze wejście zimowe: Mieczysław Karłowicz i Roman Kordys, 25 stycznia 1908. Oba wejścia prowadziły przez przełęcz Krzyżne.

Przez masyw Wołoszyna przeprowadzona została na początku XX wieku przez ks. Walentego Gadowskiego trasa Orlej Perci. Odcinek od Polany pod Wołoszynem do Krzyżnego od wielu lat jest jednak zamknięty, cały masyw Wołoszyna stanowi obszar ochrony ścisłej i wyłączony jest z ruchu turystycznego i taternickiego.

Newly updated to 2012 and the Leveson Inquiry, Stick It Up Your Punter! is the classic story of the Sun newspaper, its part in the rise of Rupert Murdoch's business empire, and the extraordinary role it came to play in British society and politics.
From Murdoch's purchase and rebranding of the old loss-making Sun in 1969, through the soaraway-successful and often scandalous years of success under foul-mouthed editor Kelvin MacKenzie, to the 'phone-hacking' disgrace of 2012 which put Murdoch's business affairs under scrutiny as never before - this is the story of the paper that, for better or worse, redefined 'tabloid journalism'.

World War Z is coming to the Epic Store
By Andy Chalk 2018-12-10T21:19:29Z
The Steam logo has been removed from the WWZ website, which now just says that it's being released on PC.
World War Z was announced near the end of 2017 as a four-player survival-shooter inspired by the "blockbuster film franchise" of the same name. It's being developed by Saber Interactive and was originally expected to be out this year, although the August gameplay trailer above updated that release target to 2019. And today, Saber dropped another little surprise:
World War Z is coming in 2019 to the Epic Games store! https://t.co/CyTvElFmvVDecember 7, 2018
There are a couple of interesting things about this update. First, the Epic Store listing is live (it's not available for preorder yet, but it's there) but there's still no sign of it on Steam. Second, and more wild-conspiracy-minded, the World War Z website has been changed: As you can see by way of the ever-so-handy Wayback machine, it used to indicate that the game is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and Steam, but now says PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
That doesn't necessarily mean that World War Z won't be headed to Steam as well as Epic—it could be simply that Saber doesn't want to be bothered listing individual PC platforms, even though doing so would enable it to link to separate store pages, or that it's still working things out with Valve. It's also reasonable to think that if it was going to be an Epic exclusive, you'd see an Epic Store logo there instead.
But swapping out the familiar Steam piston for that bold, staid, glorious PC logo does point toward a recognition of the Epic Store's potential as a legitimate competitor to Steam, and that in itself is a remarkable turn of events. It's one thing for major publishers like EA and Activision to keep their big releases on their own proprietary platforms, but something else entirely to see mid-range developers making a show of taking their wares elsewhere.
I've reached out to Saber Interactive to inquire about whether World War Z will appear on Steam as well as the Epic Store, and will update if I receive a reply.

Various products and objects produced by hand, can be found in La Alberca. Holidays are the right time to admire the beautiful costumes of men and women and the rare rustic embroideries that decorate the streets.
On the other hand, stands out the mountain embroidery with images of floral bouquets or mythological animals, fish and birds, along with other religious motives, that differentiate them from those made in other regions. These figures of traditional embroidery are also used to decorate painted plates.
Among the female traditional costumes you can´t miss admiring the "Traje de Vistas", whose most striking feature is the set of necklaces and "brazaleras" covering the entire woman's front, from the neck to the knees. This set of jewelry, is mainly composed of coral and silver, with which lockets, medals and crucifixes intermingle.
"Brazaleras" are a set of silver chains hanging from both shoulders and whose ends have charms and lockets, besides medals and crucifixes: the "Santa Faz", crosses of Caravaca, Santiago Matamoros with the double - headed eagle, the articulated trout, the heart of the bride, the crescent moon or half-moon, the hoof of the great beast, the coral or jet figa, the Indian chestnut, silver boxes with the Gospels, bells, rattles, bunches of coral, etc.
On the other hand, the male costume is sober and severe. It consists of hat, vest, jacket, nightshirt, sash, pants, bloomers and high boots. In the head, under the hat or without it, usually wear a silk scarf.
We can say that the embroidery appearing in cloths, bedspreads, tablecloths, costumes, or ceramic, wood, ... are one of the hallmarks of La Alberca. Industriousness and attractiveness, as well as the technique of these sets have been handed down from mother to daughter.
The heart from which a flower is born, represents love.
The double - headed eagle symbolizes marriage.
Fertility is represented by the trout.
The lion symbolizes man, expression of virility, and the bird of one head symbolizes woman.
The tree of life wraps the whole and represents health and longevity.
These brightness and colorful embroideries, fascinate anyone who see them for the first time. Depending on the act, they appear with certain colors: salmon, yellow, green, red, they appear on holiday's cloths, keeping dark tones like blue or purple to indicate mourning.


..:: Did You Notice the Amendments to Washington's Contractor Registration Act? :: Zlien ::..
Did You Notice the Amendments to Washington's Contractor Registration Act?
Now that 2009 has drawn to a close, we have decided to review some movement in the Washington Legislature last year as it affects the construction industry. Later this week, we'll write about two new laws, one about workers compensation insurance enforcement, and the other about the definition of an "independent contractor" on prevailing wage jobs.
Today, however, we'll focus on some small changes to the Washington Contractor Registration Act.
We previously wrote about the Contractor Registration Act in Washington, highlighting that the failure to comply with statutory requirements can result in severe penalties. Many may not have taken notice of HB 1555 in the Washington legislature in 2009, but it passed the House and Senate, was signed by the governor and is now already law in the state.
All of these amendments were suggested (and passed) at the recommendation of the legislative task force on the underground economy in the construction industry. This is a group put together in 2007 that has spent the past two years investigating those instances where contractors have worked without a license…and came up with ways to stop it.
The recommendations were made to the Washington legislature at the beginning of the 2009 legislative session, and have evolved into law.
Contractors must maintain and have available for L&I to inspect a list of all direct subcontractors and a copy of their certificate of registration. Clearly, this is intended to make enforcement easier for L&I and shift the burden on contractor licensing up the chain.
Licensing Agencies are now granted authority to check on a company's licensing status with another department. So, for instance, when a contractor seeks a business license from King County, the county can contact L&I and ensure that that the contractor is registered according to law.

In our last post, we talked with Susan Bordson about the pivot to video and the importance of using video in communications as a magnet, not a megaphone.
Today, we want to explore what exactly makes a video like the one for Children's HeartLink capable of such intense attraction.
When we worked as teachers, we taught our students to read media using the tools of rhetoric. The concepts of pathos, ethos, and logos date back to Aristotle, but because they create the distance so necessary for critical viewing, they're just as important for the digital age.
Pathos describes an appeal to emotions, logos, an appeal to logic and reason, and ethos, an appeal to the credibility of character. If we view Susan's HeartLink video through the lens of these appeals, we can begin to see how and why it draws us in.
The video opens with appeals to both pathos and logos. The first images fill the screen with the grayscale urban grittiness of Chengdu, China, and a spare, violin-based melody cuts through the scene. A statistic appears onscreen to mirror the starkness of the city: "90% of children with heart disease live where care is inadequate."
The next line signals a shift: "Children's HeartLink is working to change that." The music also takes a hopeful turn, and we next see the hustle and bustle of a brightly lit city and then the crisp antiseptic colors of a hospital. Here, the appeal to our emotions is made the more intense. In the hospital, we see a gurney wheeled by doctors; the image slows to focus on the still image of a child's—clearly the patient's—bare foot. Next, an image of a woman wearing a surgical mask appears, her eyes welling with tears, and we are told in a translated voiceover that "parents everywhere are the same."
In this moment, Susan matches rhetorical appeal with video technique. The slow-mo hospital gurney and the still frame on the bare foot stretch out the appeal to our emotions. We are given the space to consider a time (in the past or to come) in which a hospital gurney holds not just a patient but a person, someone we ourselves love.
At this point in the video, pathos has done its job—the audience can now intimately relate to material it actually knows very little about. The video thus shifts to more balanced appeals: pathos in the children's faces and actions, logos in the story of the program's founding, and ethos in the clear expertise of the doctors.
Susan uses video to execute powerful rhetorical appeals that draw in and convince readers of the importance of HeartLink's work. But she also makes video an extension of the nonprofit's mission: just as HeartLink connects experts in heart disease with medical teams in underserved parts the world, its video, too, is a magnet--a tool of connection.


NIOSH REL: Minimize workplace exposure concentrations; NIOSH considers tetrachloroethylene to be a potential occupational carcinogen as defined by the OSHA carcinogen policy [29 CFR 1990].
Description of substance: Colorless liquid with a mild, chloroform-like odor.
Basis for original (SCP) IDLH: The chosen IDLH is based on the statement by Negherbon  that a 95-minute exposure to 1,000 ppm produces slight drunkenness, but no narcosis [Rowe et al. 1952]. Negherbon  also reported that a 20- to 30-minute exposure to 206 to 235 ppm causes dizziness in humans (along with eye irritation, sinus congestion, nasal discharge, and sleepiness) [Rowe et al. 1952]. An IDLH of 500 ppm is used to prevent disorientation during escape.
*Note: Conversion factor (CF) was determined with "n" = 2.0 [ten Berge et al. 1986].
Human data: It has been reported that 2,000 ppm caused slight narcosis in 5 minutes; 930-1185 ppm caused irritation of the eyes and throat, and marked dizziness after 2 minutes; 1,000 ppm caused slight drunkenness, but no narcosis after 95 minutes; 513-690 ppm caused eye, throat, and nose irritation, dizziness, loss of inhibition, and some incoordination after 10 minutes; 500 ppm for 2 hours caused slight discomfort; 206-356 ppm for 2 hours caused headache, burning of the eyes, sinus congestion, impaired coordination, and nausea; 206-235 ppm for 20-30 minutes caused eye irritation, sinus congestion, dizziness, and sleepiness; and 106 ppm caused only slight eye irritation [Negherbon 1959; Rowe et al. 1952].

UConn Faces Big Test with Stanford
The No. 5 Cardinal could give Huskies a run in Hartford Monday night.
Published at 9:11 am on November 21, 2011
Geno Auriemma isn't afraid to test his team. We don't mean that he works his players hard in practice, or has little tolerance for mistakes (both true), but that he actually puts his money where his mouth is by scheduling tough competition to prepare his squad for conference play and the postseason.
The first true test for the fourth-ranked Huskies comes Monday night when they host No. 5 Stanford at the XL Center.
"We've played in some of these Preseason Tip-Off Classics where right off the bat you're playing a Top 10 team,'' Auriemma said, according to the Hartford Courant. "We're both in the same boat. It's not like one of us has been practicing and playing games for a month and the other one hasn't. So there'll be a lot of things they're not prepared for and there'll be a lot of things we're not prepared for."
The Courant's John Altavilla rightly notes that the storyline heading into the game will be about the veterans -- Stanford's Ogwumike sisters, and UConn senior Tiffany Hayes and junior Caroline Doty -- but the nine freshmen could prove to be the difference.
The Huskies' Big Three -- Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, Brianna Banks and Kiah Stokes -- comprise one of the nation's best recruiting classes. And a year ago, it was early season matchups such as these that helped then-freshmen Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley mature into the players that were integral cogs in UConn's Final Four run.
Back in April we wrote about just that:
"Auriemma has a history of scheduling tough opponents. Last season, the Huskies played Baylor, a game in which then-freshman center Stefanie Dolson appeared overmatched. That wasn't totally unexpected; Dolson was going up against Brittney Griner, one of the best centers in the country. But the experience made Dolson a better, more confident player down the stretch, when the Huskies needed her production because Maya Moore faced constant double-teams or Tiffany Hayes couldn't find her jumper."
This time around, Mosqueda-Lewis's sharpshooting skills could help open things up for Dolson underneath. Or maybe, like so many freshmen before her, KML will be overwhelmed by the enormity of it all.
"You really don't know what they are going to do," Stanford coach Tara VanDerVeer said, via the Courant. "But the advantage of playing a big game now is that you hope to be in the NCAA Tournament, and by then they will be accustomed to playing in big games. They will know how to adapt to the crowds and excitement and know better how to focus and keep their poise."
And that's exactly the point.

A disruptive force in the news industry.
MIKE GALIGA
JUST IN: NBC Delivers Horrible News To Megyn Kelly, This Looks Like It's Almost Over For Her
The Today Show team of Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb will be heading to South Korea to cover the Winter Olympics. They will be covering the first three hours from the venue next month. And it was just revealed that Megyn Kelly will not be joining them. And as it stands, this could signal the beginning of the end for her reign at NBC.
The writing was on the wall recently when Kotb was promoted to take over the spot left open by the disgraced Matt Lauer. Kelly had been 'at war' with Kotb for the assignment, leaving the set at NBC in an awkward position:
"According to Radar Online, things are "getting ugly" behind the scenes at the Today Show, even though both women are smiling for the cameras. A source claims that the two women are only pretending to be friends, but there is really a "knife fight" going on because they are both ambitious and know this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
"'Megyn wants the job and has already made it clear that she is willing and ready to replace Matt. She comes from a hard news background and would be more comfortable hosting the first two hours of the show than her current 9 am slot with a studio audience and fluffy feel-good segments,' says a production insider."
But Kelly was never a serious candidate for the job due to her sagging ratings. But now with the Olympics promising to be one of the biggest rating boons of the year coming up, it is a huge slap in the face to Kelly that she won't be attending. She is staying in New York while NBC executives consider moving the timeslot on her show:
"…Gifford and Kelly will stay at home in New York City, leaving Gifford without a co-host for the fourth hour and Kelly with no hour to host at all.
"As viewers know, Guthrie and Kotb usually host the first two hours of the program, with Kelly getting the third hour, and Gifford and Kotb hosting the fourth. Now the question is, with the Olympic coverage taking over the first three hours, will the network leave Kelly out completely and let Gifford host the fourth hour by herself?
"The source goes on to say that producers are considering giving Kelly the fourth hour by herself and leaving Gifford out, but fans can only imagine what the 64-year-old's response would be to that move.
"The network also has the option of letting Kelly stay home during the Olympic coverage, but then they would be paying her a ton of money to do nothing."
Things have gone from bad to worse for Kelly. If NBS is willing to pay her $20 million a year to stay home, although that seems unlikely, then she must be looking at the beginning of the ned for her show. Her place at NBC always seemed awkward at best. She never did anything like what she's doing now at Fox News. So it's no wonder that she's failing.

NY for Seniors - May 01, 202000151
Posted By NYC Newswire
VOICES of East New York With Nikki Lucas went to its new live format today, Sunday May 3, 2020, and will broadcast every Sunday at 9am live on its East New York News Facebook page and on EastNewYork.com, The online video series features one on one interviews with elected officials, community leaders, health care professionals, NYC education advocates, and a lot more.
The first 3 episodes were recorded prior to the Coronavirus quarantine and aired over the past few weeks. JIG Media, which produces the show, decided to go live with a remote streaming production during the remainder of the quarantine.
"We will most likely stick with the live episodes even after the quarantine", stated Vernon Jones, CEO of JIG Media. "There's so much happening every week in East New York and the surrounding areas that it makes sense to have a live show that is professionally produced. It allows us to keep the residents updated on relevant news that affects their lives. Having Nikki Lucas as the host is great because she has her pulse on what's happening throughout East Brooklyn, not just East New York. Besides, Nikki has been working closely with us on our New York for Seniors and Healthy NYC initiatives over the past three years as the host of the events and moderator of our Healthcare Panel Discussions."
The recorded episodes that aired over the past few weeks included one on one interviews with New York State Senator Julia Salazar and community activists Vincent Riggins and Chris Banks.
Week one (Sunday May 3) included interviews with a CEO of Beacon Eldercare and an expert on NYC education.
If you would like to suggest a guest for upcoming episodes send an email to info@jig.media and put "Guest Suggestion" in the subject line. If your guest is a good fit for the show then JIG Media producers will get in touch with you.
