Guardian of the Galaxy earned around USD $94 million in the US alone this weekend. But thanks to the wonders of digital (cinema) technology, one set of cinema goers were in for a big surprise when the Regal cinema started projecting a different Guardian film.
Confusing Rise of the Guardians with Guardians of the Galaxy sounds like the kind of mistake my mom might make if she'd ever heard of Rise of the Guardians, but apparently a Regal theater in New Jersey made the same mistake. Leading to hilariously outraged tweets from the theater.
There is an important lesson here about Dcinema naming conventions and no doubt this anecdote will make the rounds at the next ISDCF meeting.
Germany – Camcording piracy is down significantly in German cinemas, with interesting examples of pirates caught in the act trying to tape Despicable Me 2 and Wolverine mentioned in the article.
USA – Is the problem with this summer's box office in North America not so much one of decline as lack of perspective? Forbes argues so persuasively in an article that dissects this summer's BO week by week (pre-Guardians) at an almost OCD level, before looking ahead.
And despite conventional wisdom, next summer may be a little light too, as (aside from Avengers 2) the would-be summer 2015 champions (Star Wars Episode VII, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice… oh god, that title) have moved outside of the summer 2015 season. If summer 2016 combusts, then we can panic. Maybe the oddly crowded August (Guardians of the Galaxy, Get On Up, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sin City 2, Expendables III, etc.) will see a last-minute bump in cumulative box office and make up some of the lost ground. July still feels small absent Fast & Furious 7. But as long as the individual films perform on levels acceptable to those producing and distributing them, then the cumulative box office is a mostly meaningless stat.
India – Fresh of the Satyam acquisition announced last week the head of India's Inox cinemas Deepak Asher talks future plans in an in-depth interview. No mention of Big Cinemas.
How will you offer a one-stop platform to the complete value chain of film producers and distributors, right to the end-consumer?
With our presence now in 50 cities along with Satyam Cineplexes, we look forward to take advantage of our vast reach across the length and breadth of the country and offer a one-stop pan-India platform to the complete value chain of film makers, producers, distributors, right to the end-consumer.
How are you going to integrate Satyam with INOX?
Vietnam – A look at how South Korean cinema companies are making inroads in Vietnam. They also have a major presence in Indonesia and are thus sailing up as a significant regional player.
Korean group Lotte Cinema was one step ahead of their fellow competitor CJ CGV Group in penetrating Vietnamese media.
In 2008, Lotte Cinema purchased Diamond multiplex before launching new theaters adjacent to Lotte supermarkets.
Brazil – Doremi has another customer in Brazil through the usual VPF partner.
China – Violent incidents in cinemas, whether shootings in Florida or hooliganism in Copenhagen, are a sad fact of life. But this hammer attack by a pregnant (!) woman in China seems particularly strange.
Last night (the 1st), there are users on the microblogging said Jia Ying International Studios in the process of watching a movie, a pregnant woman in the audience suddenly attacked and wounded a man, then taken away by police. Yesterday, the reporter interviewed on the matter were verified.
Kids – Taking young children to a cinema screening? This handy guide with some sensible advice should help make it a pleasant experience – including for others in the cinema without children.
Young children have short attention spans and normally cannot sit through a prolonged period of time until the age of three. If they are younger than this you might find yourself needing to take them out several times during the film.
USA (NY) – Time is running out for this Long Island cinema, which has launched a last-ditch Kickstarter campaign. Sadly I am unable to embed the video.
The two-screen Westhampton Beach theater doesn't have the money necessary to pay for the movie industry's mandated upgrade from film, and it has turned to crowdfunding site Kickstarter.com to raise the $125,000 needed to purchase two digital projectors. As of Friday, it had raised $11,732, or 9 percent, of its goal; it faces an Aug. 30 Kickstarter deadline.
Russia – Karo has launched Russia's biggest cinema. It is a Luxe (ReralD PLF) screen.
KARO, one of Russia's leading and fastest-growing cinema chains, launched its highly-anticipated, 22-screen, state-of-the-art, next-generation megaplex in Moscow'sVEGAS Crocus City shopping mall. The largest and the most advanced movie theatre in Russia, KARO Vegas 22, will hold a grand opening ceremony with world-famous film makers and stars in September.
UK (Scotland) – A last-minute effort is underway to prevent the partial demolition of the former Odeon cinema on Clerk Street in Edinburgh.
The building's owner, Duddingston House Properties (DHP), is set to begin taking apart the former fly tower, once used to hoist scenery, on ?Monday.
The move follows planning permission being granted to develop student flats to the rear of the derelict building.
Whatculture has a Top 10 listicle of '10 Reasons The Cinema Is Now The Worst Place To Watch Movies.' Some valid points, so ignore reading it at your own peril. Particularly the last one (#1), though #4 is one I also feel strongly about.
Most employed people work 9-5. Taking into account commuting and eating, how many showings do you think it's possible for a regular worker to make on weeknight? At best one.
Rather than increasing the number of film times as the majority of the population becomes free, cinemas if anything reign back evening showings for no discernible reason. They're obviously limited by the number of screens and the length of film, but it strikes as a rather self-gratifying move, allowing staff to go home a bit earlier.

Ben Brown will teach a series of three classes on religion and the civil rights movement.
Feb. 8, 2015: This class will describe how 27-year-old Martin Luther King relied upon his relationship with God to help him find wholesale nfl jerseys the strength to lead the Montgomery bus boycott after the leadership was thrust upon him.Martin Luther King, Jr. was twenty-five years old in 1954 when he became pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery Alabama. He was still establishing himself as a young pastor in a new town when, a little over a year later, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a municipal bus and the Montgomery police arrested her. This class will discover the origin of King's leadership in his religion and the chaos of the bus boycott.
Feb. 15, 2015: This har class will discuss the ordeals of the freedom riders and their reliance on churches and spirituals to see them through their trials.On May 4, 1961, a group of white and black civil rights activist sponsored by the Congress Of Racial Equality boarded a bus in Washington DC. These Freedom Riders suffered beatings and bombings that climaxed when thousands of in whites surrounded Fred Shuttleworth's church in Birmingham Alabama threatening the lives of the freedom riders and the hundreds of African-Americans who were supporting their efforts.
Feb. 22, 2015: This class will probe behind the film Selma and examine its fidelity to the historical record. In January 1965, the Dallas County Voters League invited Dr. Martin Luther King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to join them in marching for voting rights in Alabama. Dr. King was of the opinion that President Johnson needed a push from the movement in order to take action on a voting rights act. Dr. King decided that Selma provided the perfect opportunity to administer that shove. The two failed attempts to march from Selma to Montgomery forced President Johnson to insert himself into this direct action campaign and world! led to his dramatic proposal of the Voting Rights Act to a joint session of Congress.

Here's some exciting news for you to check out: DJ duo Acid Washed just included Voorhees Stomp off my Camp Blood EP on their most recent radio show on Heartbeats. A pleasant surprise indeed, I can't thank the guys enough for sharing my music. Turns out they're fans of this project and have spun the EP on several of their performances. Check out their official Facebook page here and listen to the show here.
The duo most recently remixed Moby's Almost Loved - receiving praise from none other than Mute Records - and although I don't wanna give too much away at the moment, there is a Videogram remix coming later this year. Stay tuned for more info on that one!
In other news, UK's The Scream Review recently gave my Pre-Cert LP/CD a track-by-track review. Calling it an "absolute buy" and with an "entirely unique track list", you can read it in full here.


There are so many distractions from actually taking photographs it is amazing that we ever have time to create. Learning the nuances of new equipment and what has really changed in the constant flow of software updates can be a career in itself. My mission has been to simplify my life to make more time for things that matter; starting with this website.
I have exhibited on the web since 2001. Originally using Microsoft's web development tools and then Adobe Dreamweaver I was able to produce a good basic exhibition platform. The cost however has been time spent constantly learning and development time; time better spent with a camera in my hand or discovering better post production technique.
For me the obvious answer is to embrace someone else's code and use an existing content management system (ie a blog.) I chose WordPress because it is widely supported, and is powerful enough to do everything I need in a photography website.
I discovered two things in my transition to WordPress. The first, that Yahoo, my host since the beginning only provided partial support for the WordPress tools on my shopping list. In other words the choice of a host matters. I eventually chose DreamHost. Second, there is an online web development company (Elto.com) that specializes in WordPress at a price that makes it silly to invest your own time to learn how to do it yourself.
Elto breaks the steps down into understandable tweaks for pricing and project management purposes. In my case they customized an existing WordPress theme to give me more control over menuing, migrated my site to a new host including the DNS transfer and finally set up the 301 and 404 page redirects to account for the new page locations; all for under $300. I can report that it was absolutely painless and the results here are proof it works.
So here is a shout out and thanks to my project manager Luke Pickett and everyone at Elto.
Just setting this now, really glad you where happy with the end result! Let us know if you ever need anything else!

I hope you had a chance to see last night's Battle for the Elephants on PBS. If you missed it, there are additional showings planned. Also, I've got a collection of the teaser vids here, some of which include some amazing footage that didn't make the final cut, so it's a nice supplement anyway. If you haven't seen the inside of a Chinese ivory carving factory or the inside of Tanzania's ivory storeroom, you can do it here. Those two shots alone are first-ever windows into the belly of the ivory trade.
To supplement the Blood Ivory story, we created a Blog at National Geographic called A Voice for Elephants (AVFE). It is intended to be a place for the world's best thinkers and doers to have a place to share their work and thoughts. There are a lot of organizations and websites out there and it's hard to know where to look for information on the elephant crisis. A goal of AVFE is to bring new ideas to the fore. Drop by and use it as a place to begin your search and to see what's current from experts around the globe.

Health Tip
9 Things You Should Never, Ever Leave in the Car
Your vehicle should be used for transportation, not storage. Keeping these items in the car could hurt your health and security.
Most medicine should be left at room temperature, but a car will rarely stay at that point when not in use. Heat probably won't make your drugs directly harmful, but it could make them less effective.
Beyond the expense of the devices themselves, gadgets like laptops, cell phones, and thumb drives contain information that could be easy to steal. If you're in a position where you have to store your laptop or phone unattended, make sure the information is encrypted, says Eva Velasquez, CEO and president of Identity Theft Resource Center. This makes thieves unable to view information without a code, separate from the password used to log in to the device. "It's a strong layer of protection and would need someone putting a fair amount of effort into it to view," Velasquez says. "It's much stronger than password protection."
Ironically, the active ingredients in sunscreen break down in high heat. Leaving it in the car on a hot day could reduce its effectiveness. Plus, the heat could cause it to explode, leaving you with a hot mess.
Although the research is a bit unclear, studies have linked BPA and phthalates, chemicals found in plastic water bottles, with health conditions like cancer and heart disease. Letting a bottle sit in the sun and heat up could cause these chemicals to leach into the water. Plus, if the bottle has been lying around for a while, it could start harboring microorganisms.
Leaving a purse or wallet in plain sight makes your car a target for thieves, even if you've locked your doors or taken the valuables out of your bag. "It doesn't matter if the alarm goes off," Velasquez says. "It's attractive, and they're going to grab it."
Take advantage of your car's sunglasses compartment while driving, but don't leave your shades in it after you reach your destination. Heat can warp plastic frames and make metal ones too hot to wear. Leaving your glasses or sunglasses on the dashboard is even worse because the windshield could attract sunlight like a magnifying glass, American Optometric Association spokeswoman Susan Thomas has said.
If you have personal documents that you plan to mail or shred, make that task a priority on your to-do list. Letting files like school transcripts or tax forms sit in your car while you run other errands or until you have time to take care of them leaves information vulnerable if anyone breaks into your vehicle, Velasquez says. "Put it in the car, take care of it, and then you're done," she says. "You have to follow through." If they don't need to be in your car, leave them at home or in the office.
Never leave a passport in the car while traveling, even if it seems like it's too bulky to carry around. Identity theft is even easier with a passport than with a driver's license, Velasquez says. "We have to think of data and pieces of our identity as valuables," she continues. "You're not going to leave jewelry in the car, but we don't have that same level of concern with things that make up our identity, and we need to."
Wait until after work or errands to pick up a bottle of wine. If the bottle gets too hot, the flavor could be affected, and the liquid could expand enough to seep around the cork or push the cork out a bit, contaminating the wine inside.

NewsBLOGSpoliticsSharp fall in the UDF vote share marks a turning point in Kerala politics
Sharp fall in the UDF vote share marks a turning point in Kerala politics
May 25, 2016, 9:53 AM IST Pyaralal Raghavan in Minority View, politics, TOI
Pyaralal Raghavan
Works as Senior Assistant Editor on the edit page of the Times of India.
The victory of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in the 2016 assembly elections marks a historical turning point in the political trajectory in the state. This is because the elections has for the first time upset the finely balanced electoral base of the ruling and opposition fronts which has ensured that the disparity in votes between the two major contenders has been minimal at a percentage point or two.
Thus we find that in the last assembly elections held in 2011 the ruling United Democratic Front (UDF) polled 79.8 lakh votes while the Left Democratic Front (LDF) came a close second garnering as much as 77.7 lakh votes. The BJP, was a distant third with the party managing to secure just 10.6 lakh votes. So while the UDF which formed the government secured 45.7% of the votes as compared to the 44.5% gained by the LDF and its backers the BJP lagged far behind securing just 6.1% of the votes polled in the 2011 assembly elections.
However, the 2016 assembly elections has heavily titled the scales for the three different fronts. While the overall polling in the assembly elections went up by almost 26 lakh votes from 1.74 crore votes in 2011 to 2 crore votes in 2016 the gains made by the three fronts varied substantially. Surprisingly the highest gains were made by the NDA and the LDF while the absolute number of votes pooled by the UDF even declined marginally.
In the case of the NDA the voted polled went up by a substantial 19.6 lakh (when compared to the votes polled by the BJP in 2011) which almost trebled the total votes polled by the NDA from 10.6 lakh in 2011 to 30.2 lakh in 2016. THE LDF also registered a commendable performance with its votes going up by 9.5 lakh and taking its total votes from 77.7 lakh in 2011 to 87.2 lakh in 2016. The only major loser was the UDF which saw its votes declining by 1.6 lakh taking down its total votes polled from 79.8 lakhs in 2011 to 78.1 lakh in 2016.
Consequently while the share of the votes polled by the NDA/BJP soared up from 6.1% in 2011 to 15% in 2016 the other two fronts registered a fall in their vote share. While the votes polled by the LDF went down only marginally from 44.5% in 2011 to 43.4% in 2016, a decline of around one percentage point, that of the UDF fell sharply from 45.7% to 38.8%, a decline of 7 percentage points. Thus we find that almost all the gains made by the NDA/BJP front in the just concluded Kerala assembly elections were accounted by the losses made by the LDF and UDF with the latter accounting for the most substantial part.
Numbers show that the UDF lost votes in 9 of the 14 districts with the largest losses in the districts of Trichur and Alleppey. In contrast the votes pooled by the LDF increased in 12 of the 14 districts with the fall in votes restricted to the two districts of Idukki and Kottayam. The largest gains in the LDF votes were in the districts Ernakulam, Mallapuram and Kasargod where its total votes increased between 1-2.5 lakh.
However, these gains of the LDF were miniscule when compared to that of the NDA/BJP, which gained in all the 14 districts. Their highest gains were in Trivandrum in southern Kerala and in Trichur in central Kerala where the front gained 2.9 lakh and 2.6 lakh votes respectively. The NDA also made gains between 1-2 lakh votes in another seven districts which included Alleppey, Palghat, Ernakulam, Quilon, Kottayam, Kozhikode and Pathanamthitta. The NDA/BJP gains were minimal at less than a lakh in the northern districts of Wynad, Kasargod, Kannur, and Mallapuram and also in Idukki.
The big question now is will the LDF and UDF be now able to restrain the surge in NDA/BJP votes in the coming years after they have touched such critical levels . The scenario is not too optimistic. With the LDF firmly resisting the NDA efforts to make inroads into its vote base it is likely to emerge as the main rallying point of the secular voters. But the receding prospects of the Congress will also ensure a large scale migration of conservative and anti-left voters to the BJP rungs especially since the credentials of the UDF has taken a bad hit in the jut concluded polls. Such a process may help the LDF make some immediate gains. But it is going to be a tricky affair in the long run as the communal forces will make every attempt to polarise the voters across religious lines and cut down the voter base of its rivals. This is a challenge that both the CPM and the Congress will have to confront in the coming years.

I was working in an urgent care clinic when I went into see a new patient. His name was David, and he worked as a math teacher at the local high school. He was slightly overweight, carrying his excess weight around his midline. David was in his mid-forties, with a smile and welcoming appearance.
"Are you having any blood in your urine, changes in your bowel habits, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or fevers?
I finished taking his history and then did his physical exam, which revealed he was quite tender to palpation over his posterior left side. He also had a swollen, red joint over his first toe on his right foot.
I left to find one of the clinic nurses and gave her the written orders to give David sixty mgs. of Toradol IM, draw the blood work and give him the specimen cup for his urine sample. After that she sent him over for his stat CT scan.
David was back in the clinic waiting room waiting for me to see him an hour later. So with the news that he was waiting, I walked over to the radiology department to check on his CT scan results. Thankfully the after-hours radiologist was still there and was willing to review the scan with me.
"No problem, that's why we're here.
I went back to the urgent care clinic and looked up his lab results. His kidney function was normal, as was his calcium and phosphorus levels. He had gross blood in his urine sample, but nothing else was out of whack except his specific gravity which showed his urine was concentrated.
Treatment of renal stones is based on what type of stone the patient has: stone composition can be either uric acid (10% of stones), cystine, or struvite (composed of magnesium and calcium, 10% of stones), or calcium oxalate (80% of stones).
Most stones <7 mm can be passed with supportive help, if stone is not passed then patient has to be seen by urology who can then decide on shock therapy lithrotripsy, ureteroscopy (usage of a scope to retrieve stone), or open surgical procedure (nephrostomy).
Based on the type of stone patients can also be given potassium, sodium, or calcium supplements to help dissolve the stone.
I went to call David out of the waiting room, to have him come back into an empty exam room.
David walked gingerly into the exam room and sat down. "Thanks," he said.
I walked with him down the hallway to our observation unit and gave the nurse his orders for intravenous fluids which would have potassium bicarbonate in it. Hopefully he would be able to pass the stone, but only time would tell. He was also given pain medications.
I went back to the clinic and started seeing other patients. At the end of my shift, I walked over to the observation unit and checked in on David. I found out that he still hadn't passed the stone, but he did think it had moved a little bit, due to his continuing to have spastic pain, masked by the pain meds he was on.
"Okay, David it looks as though the IV fluids haven't been successful in getting the stone to pass. I'm going to go ahead and discharge you home. You have to promise me that you will continue to chug fluids at home, take the prescription meds I gave you, i.e. the allopurinol, the pain medications and the tamsulosin. You need to come back tomorrow afternoon if you still haven't passed the stone. You'll know you will have passed it because the pain will be gone but right before you pass it you'll have symptoms of needing to urinate frequently. This will be your bladder's response to the presence of the stone in it. If you pass the stone, please make sure to bring it back into us so that we can test it for what sort of stone it is. Most likely it is a uric acid stone, but only the lab will be able to tell us with 100% certainty that it is.
The following afternoon, David checked back into the urgent care clinic. I saw him shortly after he arrived.
I went out to the nurse's station and paged the urologist. When he called back I told him what was going on with David, he said he'd be down to see him shortly. Thirty minutes later the urologist showed up and went into see David.
He came out a little while later and advised me that he was taking David up to the procedure room to do shock therapy lithotripsy. He wanted to get him up to the procedure room before the daytime urology nurses left for the day.
David was brought back down by one of the urology nurses to the urgent care clinic about 4 hours later. I could tell by the look on his face that the stone was gone.
After the clinic nurse removed his IV line, I went over his discharge meds. I told him he had to stay on the allopurinol every day, his lisinopril, and take the colchicine whenever he had another attack of gout. I also advised him to increase his daily fluid intake and to stop his high protein diet. I asked him to see his primary care physician in a few weeks for follow-up.
I checked his labs 3 days later and found out that the urologist had indeed sent the stone fragments in for analysis to the lab. The fragments were tested and they were indeed formed from concentrated uric acid. Hopefully with David on allopurinol and drinking lots of fluids he wouldn't have another episode of renal stones.
This is based on the type of stone the patient has.
Calcium stone formers can be advised as to dietary changes, and given diuretics which prevent the formation of subsequent stones.
All stone formers are advised as to a low sodium and low protein diet.

The Apple iPad is the latest trendy topic in the world of mobile technology. Will pharmaceutical drug reps knock on physician offices equipped with an iPad instead of a tablet PC? After all, this would give them another opportunity to have an engaging conversation about the latest in technology.
Drug rep: Hi doctor! Can I spend a few minutes and go through my e-detailing piece with you?
Doctor: Sure. Wait, is that an iPad? Can I see that thing? Forget the e-detailing. I want to try out your iPad.
Very productive, yes? At least your bag will be lighter if you're carrying an iPad instead of a tablet PC. If you're interested in "How the iPad could change healthcare marketing," then make sure to read this piece by Kerry Hilton, president and CEO of HC&B Healthcare Communications.

What about the day an All Black shocked New Zealand beyond all decency with his after match radio 'speech!'
In conservative New Zealand of the 1950s the media was vastly different to what it was these days. For a start there was no television at all in New Zealand, radio was careful and conformist (being totally Government owned), the newspapers rarely gave by-lines to writers. It goes without saying that unacceptable or bad language across any of the radio communications industry was totally unheard of. But one afternoon on National Radio an All Black grabbed the microphone and let rip with what was then a total shocker!
Let us not ever say that bad language did not exist in everyday usage back in radio's early years. It did. For instance, men returning home from the rigors of their World War II experiences spoke in very 'sharp' terms about what had happened to them whilst in battle. But there are very few recordings of swearing that ever appeared during the 1950s on radio in New Zealand. It just wasn't done.
There was one very famous instance though. And, perhaps surprisingly, given the conservative age of the time, when a dreaded word was dropped the whole country rocked with laughter. Hearing the same word today would hardly raise an eyebrow. And the 'dreaded B-word' of 1956 is much milder than many that are heard today. Nonetheless it was outrageous in its own way.
The occasion concerned the end of New Zealand's most dramatic rugby test series to that point. The Springboks of South Africa, under captain Basie Viviers and Manager/coach Danie Craven had just completed the fourth test of a three month 23 match New Zealand tour.
To say the tests were epic contests is an understatement. Even today men of a certain age in New Zealand hark back to their vivid memories of those games with a sharpness of recall that is amazing. In the country still there must be thousands of scrapbooks lying in lofts and studies, kept by young kids at the time and never wanted to be thrown out.
The fourth test was a true pinnacle of the robust action of the weeks before. New Zealand had won the first and third tests, South Africa had won the second. All of the games had been close. So all of New Zealand tuned in to hear Winston McCarthy's famous radio commentary on fourth test day, with the nation hoping, and probably praying, for a New Zealand win. Then and only then could the All Blacks say for the first time 'we have won a test series over South Africa.'
Such an accomplishment had never been done before.
The test at Eden Park unfolded and the country hung on McCarthy's every word, assisted in the broadcast box by the local Auckland commentator Colin Snedden. Slowly but surely the minutes ticked by and New Zealand's team, captained by Bob Duff, edged out to an 11-5 lead. This was sufficient for the nation to think 'they have to score twice to get the lead' as a converted try was worth only five points in those days.
At one point the action became so fierce and Tiny White the New Zealand lock forward was kicked on the ground two policemen came down to the touchline and stood close by in case they might be needed to separate the players from breaking into outright affray.
Soon though, the whistle went for fulltime and the game had gone New Zealand's way by that six point margin of 11-5. Could it be said that the result of the game and the tests series win over our fiercest rivals was a glorious day for New Zealand nationhood?
Maybe it was as rugby was definitely 'King' in those days.
People flooded onto the fields of Eden from all quarters and they rushed to a centre spot on the halfway line and looked up into the grandstand. There was no trophy to present but it had become traditional for each ground to farewell the South African team.
This writer can clearly recall from home listening on the radio as the crowd started chanting for the New Zealand players to come forward and take a cheer. There were two particular heroes – Don Clarke, the young Waikato fullback who was known far and wide as 'The Boot' – and a shy, fisherman from one of the farthest north places you can get to in New Zealand – Awanui, just by the famous 90 Mile stretch of beach. During the game Jones had brushed aside Springboks after chasing a bouncing ball and had scored a miracle try; Clarke had kicked the rest of New Zealand's points, with a conversion and two penalty goals.
The chants continued after short speeches by New Zealand rugby officials and Danie Craven had made his famous, and very generous remark 'New Zealand, it's all yours.' To which the crowd gave another almighty roar of approval.
Then Peter Jones was pushed forward to the microphone and the crowd suddenly hushed quiet to hear what he had to say. With Colin Snedden adjusting the microphone Jones leaned forward to speak. With sweat on his brow (or were they tears?) he said 'Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope I never have to play another game like that in my life, I'm absolutely buggered!'
The words echoed around the ground to a massive shout of astonishment which within seconds changed to unforgettable delight. The noise was so calamitous that young Don Clarke's simple 'thank you' could hardly be heard.
The laughing and cheering for Peter Jones' remark went on and on. To be fair what his words said also summed up what the relieved nation believed as well. With the test series having been clinched 3-1 indeed the whole country was 'vastly relieved' except Jonesy said it better.
However behind Newspaper's editors desks and at broadcasting headquarters there was not such total approval. The late, great rugby writer Sir Terry McLean told me his New Zealand Herald decided not to publish at all the 'offending' remark by Jones. And the Saturday night edition of Auckland's The 8 O'Clockonly ran reference to the story by describing the offending word as 'b--------'. And at the radio studio Headquarters of the New Zealand Broadcasting Service the phones ran hot as the bosses called in to say the remark by Jones must not be played again on the radio.
The sentence was deemed too distasteful for the audience's ears. The tape was not replayed until Peter Sellers, the sports radio historian from Dunedin (who is still alive aged 93 as 2015 arrives), sought and was given approval for the remark to be played in a summary of Radio New Zealand Sports highlights nearly 30 years later!
But let's go back to the time. In 1956 you shouldn't really have said that word in polite company. But it was so outrageously correct and at the time it perfectly summed up the nation's mood. The All Blacks had won their tests against their grimmest rivals and 'we', players and listeners alike, were exhausted by the build-up of the whole three months.
It is true to say the country was 'absolutely buggered!' and we had Peter Jones to thank for saying it for us.
[If you click on 'Favourite Photos' on the front page of this webstie you will see an attached newspaper clipping from The 8 O'Clock's edition in Auckland from the night after the game in September 1956. The picture was autographed (complete with the famous B-word) by Peter Jones himself many years later.

James Lynwood Palmer (1868–1941) was an English painter who specialised in painting race-horses, his characteristic style showing them as nervous and highly-strung, often depicted within a background of a dramatic landscape. His success as a leading equestrian portrait painter of the first half of the twentieth century is represented by around eight hundred paintings that were commissioned by clients,
almost exclusively from private patrons, who included: William Cavendish-Bentinck, 6th Duke of Portland (1857–1943) (notably The Duke of Portland's stallions at Welbeck Stud (1900), Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick (1861–1938) and King George V (1865–1936). He rarely exhibited his work to the public.

Origins
He was born in 1868 at Market Rasen in Lincolnshire, the third son and the youngest of eight children of  George Thomas Palmer (1836–1908) and Anna Frances Blair. His father, schooled in Bath, graduate of Peterhouse, Cambridge, was a career clergyman. Specifically he was vicar of Linwood, Lincolnshire from 1861 to 1869, an urban parish priest, then honorary canon of Rochester Cathedral (1890 to 1908).<ref name="ReferenceE">[http://www.marketrasenmail.co.uk/lifestyle/rasen-horse-artist-finest-of-his-generation-1-1173710 Rasen Horse Artist, Market Rasen Mail, 27 October 2006']</ref> His older brother Charles Jasper was also an ordained minister.

Lynwood Palmer's childhood was spent in what within 15 years would officially be made inner parts of the County of London, where his father took the living (and thus in this era also priest-in-charge role) at St James' Church, Norlands, then from 1875 St Mary's, Newington. He was educated at King's College School, and was destined by his father for a career in Law or in the Foreign Office. Palmer was not interested in such a course preferring horses and art at which he showed aptitude.

Early career
In 1884, aged 17, Palmer left school without his parents blessing and emigrated to Canada, where he worked with horses on cattle ranches, as a hansom cab master and show jumper. His involvement in horse shows in Toronto, and from 1892 in New York provided him with contacts and developed his skill in sketching horses. According to Lyllyan Baldwin (1933)
 "The first public success in his artistic career was perhaps that which came through the illustrations of an American catalogue of a sale of horses. The drawings received great praise and resulted in a number of commissions".

Palmer spent some years in the 1890s supplementing his artistic income in employment as a cab master. At this time Palmer showed great interest in carriage driving which led to commissions from Alfred Vanderbilt and Ambrose Clark and an increasing number of commissions for private clients and periodicals that included The American Carriage Monthly (1893) Although he had no formal training he developed an affinity for drawing and painting horses of all types: hunting, carriage, or race horses. He remained in North America for 11 years and found patrons who admired his style of painting and bought his works, including Marshall Field I (1834–1906), the American entrepreneur, prominent racehorse owner and founder of Marshall Field and Company, the Chicago-based department stores.

In 1895 Palmer returned to Europe with a nucleus of work to his credit, mostly from anglophile Americans A short stay followed with a relative in Co. Offaly where he garnered new contacts and future patrons that included T. K. Laidlaw before he and his wife Lydia returned to England, where they eventually settled in 1911 at the 16th Century White House at Sutton in the parish of Heston, Middlesex. A confident, well-dressed man he was at home with all types of horses and self-possessed enough to move smoothly between his aristocratic clientele. He prospered attributing his success to clients that included: the Earl of Derby, Lord Lonsdale, the Duke of Portland and most importantly Edward VII for whom he painted his Derby Stakes winner Minoru in 1909. It established him as a major painter of racehorses, a relatively small field that included his friend Alfred Munnings, Emile Adam, Lionel Edwards and Raoul Millais. Palmer created a niche for himself and his style and subject matter rarely deviated for the remainder of his career.

Knowledge of Horses

Palmer had a deserved reputation for his ability to treat lame horses, no doubt learnt as a result of his training as a cab master. In 1911 the Home Secretary, Reginald Mckenna, concerned at the injury rate of police horses on city cobbles asked Palmer to provide advice on the treatment of horses hooves. Subsequently, some trainers would seek Palmer's advice. In his latter years he frequented Hounslow Barracks, the regimental mess of the 17/21 Lancers where his advice was sought and given.

Palmer was also a judge at the International Horse Show at Olympia in 1921 but had been involved in its organisation since its inception in 1907. He designed a series of publicity postcards in pre-war years.

As an asthmatic Palmer was deemed not fit for military service during World War I, offering his skills for the service of the nation by managing a 750-horse stud for the Royal Mail.

Racehorse paintings

Palmer's notoriety as an equine artist is largely based on his paintings of racehorses for an aristocratic, wealthy clientele that were united by wealth and interests. Palmer and Munnings became the preferred choice of this set when it came to painting their equine champions. Most of the commissions were for racehorses on the flat although Palmer painted seven winners of The Grand National.

Palmer painted winners of all the English and Irish classics and many Group winners beside. These included champion horses such as: the Earl Of Derby's Swynford, winner of the Eclipse Stakes and the St Leger, Tranquil, a success in the fillies classic, the 1,000 Guineas in 1923 and Hyperion, painted in 1933 after the colt won both the Derby and St Leger, Aboyeur, winner of the Suffragette Derby in 1913, Royal Lancer, owned by Earl Lonsdale and winner of the St Leger in 1922, Lord Woolavington's Derby winner Coronach, the undefeated The Tetrarch owned by Sir Hugh McCalmont and voted by the British National Horseracing Museum as the best English-trained two-year-old of the 20th century, Gainsborough, who in 1918 won the English Triple Crown and the Ascot Gold Cup for Lady Douglas, the first woman to own a classics winner and the filly Golden Corn, winner of the July Cup in 1923 and owned by Marshall Field III grandson of Palmer's early patron. The style is always the same with non-specific, featureless backgrounds so that the eye always focuses on the horse.

Carriage driving paintings
Palmer had a passion for carriage driving and was frequently seen driving his "beautifully maintained" coach and Four-in-hand. Some of his earliest paintings are of carriage driving in the United States and Canada. One of Palmer's first major commissions for August Belmont II, now at The Schwarz Gallery in Philadelphia features a four-in-hand horse carriage being driven along Ocean Drive, Newport, Rhode Island. Another major client Alfred Vanderbilt had moved to England by 1904 where he purchased fifty trotting horses, together with a team of carrige greys and two carriages which he based near Palmer at Kingsbury. Palmer painted at least four commissions for Vanderbilt before the latter returned to the United States in 1914. Other carriage-themed paintings for Ambrose Clark and Lady Warwick were commissioned. One of his most important patrons of the interwar years was Lord Woolavington, a collector of English sporting paintings for whom Palmer produced two, of carriage horses (and several racehorses besides).

Technique

Lynwood Palmer possessed a retentive visual memory for the appearance of a horse. Invariably he made sketches from life, out of doors, if possible. He worked quickly and quietly trying to capture the character of the horse. In 1927 he explained his work as follows:The secret of painting race-horses lies in quickness. Their movements are so alert, they are so full of nervous energy, that the artist has to have a hand like a streak of lightning to catch the pose while it lasts.
His paintings of race horses, nearly all on commission, are oil-on-canvas. The background is usually non-specific and the horse is centre stage. Palmer's knowledge of the anatomy of a horse was based on practical knowledge but he had studied George Stubbs Anatomy of a Horse in detail according to one of his pupils. His use of colour was limited and he did not shirk applying colours directly to the canvas to produce the iridescent sheen which are a feature of his paintings. Palmer's figures are often one-dimensional. Algernon Talmage, an impressionist painter of the period, did some of the figures in these paintings. In 1925 Lynwood Palmer was painted by Talmage seated astride a carriage. The painting is in private hands.

He primarily strove to make a true likeness of the horse against a harmonious background. He did not show any interest in wider fields staying firmly in the English tradition of racehorse artists: Harry Hall, John Frederick Herring Sr. and his son John Frederick Herring Jr. Once his style was established it did not change.
His success as an artist was largely derived through his ability to infuse into his expert draughtsmanship his thorough and first-hand understanding of the characteristics of the animals he was painting.

Personal life
In 1895 whilst living in the United States he met and married Lydia Frohawk of Dereham, Norfolk, the daughter of a local landowner. Her brother was Frederick William Frohawk (1861–1946), an established zoological artist and lepidopterist. The marriage lasted until his death at Heston on 22 June 1941, his wife dying in 1942. Palmer's health had been affected by a serious injury when kicked by one of his equine subjects close to the heart, which affected him considerably in his later years.

In his will Palmer left personal possessions including his riding crop and glasses to his housekeeper Mary Cox, which were sold at auction by Sotheby's on 1 November 2006. His long-standing friend Hugh McCausland was left the bulk of his free estate of £5412.6(). Palmer's studio became a dance hall and his house, "The White House", 28, Upper Sutton Lane, noted in the Victoria County History of Middlesex to be "timber-framed and contains 16th-century features, including an original roof", later "cased with brickwork" and given "several additions and alterations"- was taken from its subsequent owners by the council under compulsory purchase order, then destroyed in an arson attack which conveniently cleared the way for construction of the residential Palmer Close, which stands on the site today.

Money might talk, but only if you do.
Asking for a raise is one of the most awkward and intimidating conversations you can have. Most people don't like talking about money to begin with, especially not with their bosses! Learning how to ask for a raise might be the last thing you want to do, but if you feel underpaid, read on.
The trick to asking for and getting a raise is all about timing and preparedness. Before you go storming into your boss' office demanding a bump, cool down and read this first — you just might change your mind.
Your timing has to be impeccable, there's no question about it. Data gathered by LinkedIn shows that the best time to ask for a raise is just before the start of January, June, or July, around the time of your company's year-end, before budgets are allocated. The correct timing also refers to other variables, such as when revenues are high, objectives are met, and your own performance is noteworthy. Be reasonable. If the company is tanking, should you be asking for a reward?
Prepare to back it up.
If you're scanning this article looking for the the one piece of advice you can't skimp on, it's this: Be prepared. Preparedness sets you apart. Be ready to justify your worth in terms your boss values (hint: bottom line and key strategic imperatives). You'll need to showcase your merit with real life examples that underscore why what you do matters. You'll want to paint the picture that you and your contributions are essential. Be sure to know your market value and have a clear understanding of what your job is worth on the job market. There are plenty of online surveys to help, but use caution. Many online surveys, especially those associated with staffing agencies, bump up salary ranges by at least 10 percent. Check out PayScale or Salary.com for information on current salary ranges.
Being clear on your purpose and motivation will steer you away from disaster. Think about this: Why do you really want a raise? It's really easy to get caught up in the comparison ring. You hear so-and-so makes X per year. You read an online salary report that screamed how underpaid you are. Your coworkers are talking about salaries in the lunchroom. E-a-s-y. Now, slow down. This is where your preparedness comes into play. You do not — I repeat — you do not want to ask for a raise out of emotion. Will more money solve your problems? A higher salary won't make an insufferable job suddenly great. A raise won't make your boss appreciate you. Know the why.
If you've plotted out the perfect timing and you've thought everything through, here's one more thing to consider. Whether it's the right thing to do or not, your boss may take issue with you asking for more money. Because we're dealing with fickle, dynamic humans who have their own beliefs, values, and hang-ups about money, realize that your boss may bring personal baggage into your salary discussions. Again, it might not be right, but it's real. Going back to understanding your personal motivations, you need to be comfortable with the fact that your boss may interpret your motivations differently than you do and pass judgment. If your boss feels cornered to give in, he or she might say yes today but hold it against you in the future. Accept the risk that the discussion may open you up to more risk than before. If you feel that you truly have done your research and you deserve it, then ask away. Don't let someone else's hang-ups hold you back.
You don't have to ask for a raise. You don't have to make more money. Perhaps this is the unpopular answer, but it's a realistic, intrinsic solution. Shift your energy to adding value and doing your best work. If the company just isn't doing well enough to warrant salary increases or if you did your research and you can't justify asking, then decide to be happy with what you've got or start the search for a new opportunity. If the company offers exciting work, a fun culture, and opportunities to contribute and learn, then seize the day! You could even shift the conversation with your boss from "I want more money" to "I want more responsibility" and see what opens up for you when you focus on something else.
Salary discussions trigger deep feelings within all of us about worth, quality of life, and overall success. Don't let it be a nagging comparison. Shifting your perspective to a growth mindset where you focus on learning and contributing will direct positive experiences your way. The money will come if you put love into your work.

Lead Exposure Reduction Act of 1992.
This two-part report deals with the Lead Exposure Reduction Act of 1992(H.R. 5730), an amendment to the Toxic Substances Control Act and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The amendment is intended to lead to the reduction of levels of lead in the environment and to lower the degree of childhood exposure to lead. The bill provides for a program of inspection for lead-based paint at covered schools and for lead hazards at covered day care facilities; inspections in cases of lead in drinking water at covered schools and facilities; a program for training and licensing of lead-based paint abatement contractors and their workers; and repair or recall of drinking water coolers.

Q: SqlFileStream - Which FileOption and allocation size? I am using the SqlFileStream and when constructing the object I am not sure which FileOptions and allocation size to use. I got this from another article but it did not explain why. Can somone help explain or give me a recommendation?
thanks!
using (var destination = new SqlFileStream(serverPathName, serverTxnContext, FileAccess.Write, FileOptions.Asynchronous, 4096))
{
    await file.CopyToAsync(destination);
}

A: Since it appears like you are trying to copy this file asynchronously, you probably want FileOptions.Asynchronous. This the most responsive way to access your file, because you aren't bound to one thread. FileOptions.RandomAccess and FileOptions.SequentialScan both use caching the access the file however FileOptions.SequentialScan isn't guaranteed to cache optimally. Like the name implies, the large difference is how the access the file either randomly or sequentially. The WriteThrough just skips the cache and goes directly to the file which would be faster but riskier.
Allocation size is just the block size on the drive. If you pass 0 it would use the default size, which for an NTFS formatted drive would be 4KB. 4096 turns out to be 4KB so the person here is just making sure the block size is 4KB.

The in-between spaces with Melissa James Gibson
By Anne Marie Healy
When Melissa James Gibson's play [sic]— whose title, like its meaning, is indeed "exactly as written"— premiered at Soho Rep in 2001, I was really excited by the formal coherence of the production. Recently, I had a chance to read some of her plays on the page, and I realized that she had included all of the intricate choreography, sound design and architecture of the world in her original stage directions.

Background music Cox up Wonders of the Universe, say irate viewers
BBC agrees to turn the volume down in new series
Published: Monday, 14th March 2011 at 12:41 pm
Professor Brian Cox is poised dramatically atop a snow-capped mountain, the camera spinning dizzyingly around him as the orchestral background music builds to a crescendo. Suddenly, we're flung out across a vast canyon, and as the music swoops and soars, Cox begins to speak…
But what's he's saying? It's hard to make it out against that wall of majestic strings. And for some people it's all getting a bit much…
Following last night's episode of Wonders of the Universe, the BBC received over one hundred complaints that the programme's accompanying music drowned out the words of its presenter Professor Brian Cox.
And, despite all the noise, the BBC has heard its viewers and agreed to turn the volume down.
"Clearly none of us set out to make programmes where we can't hear the presenter," said the show's executive producer Jonathan Renouf, "so if we have got that wrong then we need to do something about it. There's been enough volume of complaints about this that I think we clearly have made an error of judgment.
"So we are remixing the sound for all the films to pull down the music and effects levels during the segments where Brian is talking, and we are very hopeful that will correct any problems that the audience have had."
It's an initial victory for a wider campaign. Leading the charge against TV's "muzak morons" is Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Master of the Queen's Music (the musical equivalent of the Poet Laureate).
"We are being driven from even serious television programmes by this incessant need for background music," said Davies. "I remember having to turn off an otherwise fascinating David Attenborough wildlife programme because some muzak moron had decided it was a good idea to play background music to the animals' antics. It just made the whole thing ridiculous."
But for many people, the music is more than just an annoyance. A spokesperson at The Royal National Institute for the Deaf said "A lot of people have hearing loss in just one ear and for them it's difficult to differentiate between different sounds. Loud background music affects their ability to hear."
There have been suggestions that viewers should be able to switch music on television programmes on and off, like subtitles, or decrease the volume to suit their requirements. And with alternative commentaries already available on selected sporting events via the BBC red button, it's clear the technology is there.
But Cox himself thinks the BBC are making a mistake in turning down the music on Wonders of the Universe. Speaking on Radio 4's Start the Week programme this morning, the physicist said "We can sometimes be too responsive to the minority of people that complain… [Wonders of the Universe] should be a cinematic experience - it's a piece of film on television, not a lecture."
Then again, you might have thought he'd be keen on a change of soundtrack for his show. His former pop group D:ream have just released their first album in 15 years, and keyboard player Cox guests on the new single Gods in the Making.
Could Wonders of the Universe be a fitting video for the song? It would certainly beat the current attempt, which seems to have been made on a ZX Spectrum. Watch it below. And listen out for some great keyboard work…

So much of the Jewish community's recent focus is on families with young children. From PJ Library to Jewish preschools, day schools and summer camps, ensuring our Jewish future has become almost an obsession.
But what if you don't need help keeping your children Jewish, but rather having Jewish children at all?
Infertility, in recent years referred to as "fertility challenges," afflicts 15 to 20 percent or about one in five of all Jewish couples, according to a report by the Puah Institute. However, with the pressure to be "fruitful and multiple" (Genesis 1:38), as prescribed by the Torah, and the equally strong Jewish tradition of encouraging procreation to make up for lives lost in the Holocaust and other tragedies, couples suffering from infertility can feel isolated and alone.
Solomon, who herself experienced years of infertility – including years of therapies, procedures (11 In vitro fertilizations (IVFs) and transfers to have three kids), tests, enormous financial investment, losses and a label of undiagnosed infertility – founded Hasidah in 2011 to help others in similar situations.
As a Jewish communal professional, Solomon said she spent her days helping families keep their children Jewish and enrich their Jewish lives. She, however, was deeply lonely. She was uncomfortable speaking about her situation and likewise felt there was not anyone equipped with what to say in way of support. Hasidah now offers training to rabbis interested in learning how to offer this support.
"We need to create a more inclusive space," said worship facilitator and Jewish educator Naomi Less, who likewise has struggled with infertility. She said liberal Jewish leaders talk a lot about "audacious hospitality, inclusivity, and the idea that it is not good to be alone," yet often leave those experiencing infertility challenges in isolation, unwelcomed at family programs and events.
According to Uprooted's co-founder and arts and education director, Dalia Davis, the Torah, which can and should be a source of comfort, could sometimes "be really disruptive" for people experiencing infertility.
Generally, the Biblical narratives follow a consistent story line: Woman cannot get pregnant, she prays to God, God answers the prayer, a baby is born.
Davis said Uprooted tries to help women look at these stories in a different light, "freeing them," to be a point of support and connection.
"Not everyone has a long, dramatic struggle, but so many people have had moments of struggle in this arena," said Davis.
Solomon said that it is time the Jewish community invested in solutions.
Assimilation has two parts- intermarriage and low fertility. Both hurt the future of American Jewry.
Amen. Beautifully written and articulated.
I have heard of a number of cases in which observant women are not able to get pregnant because ovulation is occurring before the time when they are allowed to go to the mikveh and resume marital relations. Rabbis allow drugs to be given to delay ovulation. This drives me crazy and I see it as slavery to halachah and not compassionate "poskining". The extra days before the mikveh are d'rabbanan and women with this problem should be given a heter to go to the mikveh earlier.
There was nothing like this awareness when I struggled with this. I'm glad light is being shined on the problem. And I would also encourage a change in thinking, as I finally came around to: do you want to be pregnant, or do you want to be a parent? It gets harder to adopt as you get older, too….so please remember that option can be open to you, too.
To Galya, that is an issue that JOFA-Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance-is working on. If you have an interest in how this rabbinically imposed infertility happens, contact them. It is ridiculous to make women take chemicals to adhere to a man made schedule of ovulation.
Thank you for this essay! I would encourage the community to think out of the traditional box on this: don't forget adoption as a beautiful option, and don't forget that not everyone who yearns to be a parent is married, or female. Lots of unmarried people, and lots of single men and women, also are searching for a pathway to parenthood. I couldn't agree more with another commentor's question: Do you want to be pregnant, or do you want to be a parent?
