How Expensive Are the Olympics?
Sheldon Costa, Author|February 12, 2014
Ah, the Olympics. That special time, every four years, when nations all around the world can, for just a little time, put aside their political differences and use their finest athletic specimens to one-up each other. Not only are the Olympics a good way for nations to find new and interesting ways to despise one another, but the event as become notorious for the kind of gratuitous overspending that any exploitative corporate superpower would be proud of.
This year's winter Olympics in Sochi have proven to be no less expensive. In fact, it's turning out to be the most expensive week in Olympic history. The current numbers most frequently cited in the media is $50 million. To put that in perspective, the Beijing Olympics in 2008, which had received a large amount of attention for it's own massive cost, was about $40 billion.
The $50 billion number, however, might be more deceptive than accurate. As the Washington Post reported, the figure has largely been drawn from a comment that Russian deputy Prime minister gave to the media back in 2013. The article goes on to state that this number would have already changed on account of inflation and the fact that the bulk of the funding came from private investing, which hasn't been thoroughly sifted through by journalist as of yet.
Oh, and there have been accusations of corruption among Russian officials. The article points to a number of Russian political dissidents who have announced that Russian officials may be padding "their Olympic construction bills by the billions in order to skim government-backed loans," resulting in almost $30 billion extra dollars in spending. These numbers and accusations, however, have yet to be proven by sources.
The issue of spending comes up every time the Olympics role through a country, with some commentators lambasting the gross amount of spending and advertising that go into the event, while countries ignore the starving and struggling masses within their own borders. Others, however, argue that the Olympics create jobs in developing economies and host cities over time.
But is this true? Much like the $50 billion, the numbers are opaque. According to the International Business Times, a report by the European Bank for Reconstruction Development shows that host nations don't benefit financially from hosting the games.
The event might, however, make Sochi a popular tourist destination, which increases the chance that the city itself will reap some economic rewards from this year's games. The city also plans to use the houses areas constructed for the games for subsidized housing, which will have obvious beneficial effects on the city's citizens.
The article also points out that the games probably won't a dramatically pernicious effect on Russia's GDP. As of now, the games are projected to have only cost about 2.4 of the country's total GDP.

There are two different types of female alopecia, medically known as anagen effluvium and Telogen effluvium. Anagen effluvium is generally due to internally administered medications, such as chemotherapy agents, that poison the growing hair follicle Telogen effluvium, is due to an increased number of hair follicles entering the resting stage.
The typical pattern of female pattern baldness is different than that of male pattern baldness. The hair thins all over the head, but the frontal hairline is maintained. There may be a moderate loss of hair on the crown, but this rarely progresses to total or near baldness as it may in men.
Alopecia can occur in women for reasons other than female pattern baldness. These may include temporary shedding of hair (telogen effluvium), breaking of hair (from such things as styling treatments, and twisting or pulling of hair), patchy areas of total hair loss (alopecia areata--an immune disorder causing temporary hair loss), oral medications, as well as certain skin diseases.
The hair loss of female pattern baldness is permanent. The hair loss is usually mild to moderate. No treatment is required if the person is comfortable with her appearance.
The only drug or medication currently approved to treat female-pattern baldness is minoxidil, used topically on the scalp. It may help hair to grow in 40% of the population, and in 90% it may slow the loss of hair. Hair loss recurs when its use is stopped.
Alopecia may also occur due to dieting. Diet programs which are designed or administered under the direction of a physician with prescribed meals, dietary supplements and vitamin ingestion have become popular. Sometimes the client is told the vitamins are a necessary part of the program to prevent hair loss associated with dieting. From a dermatologist's standpoint, however, the vitamins cannot prevent alopecia associated with rapid, significant weight loss. Furthermore, many of these supplements are high in Vitamin A which can magnify alopecia. Vegetarianism and dieting can result in hair loss if they cause iron deficiency. Iron and zinc supplements should be taken if the diet does not produce enough on it's own. If someone is anaemic this can cause excessive alopecia. A doctor should be consulted as a course of iron tablets may be all that's needed to sort the problem out.
Surgeries, severe illnesses and emotional stress can cause alopecia. The body simply shuts down production of hair during periods of stress since it is not necessary for survival and instead devotes its energies toward repairing vital body structures. In many cases there is three month delay between the actual event and the onset of hair loss. Furthermore, there may be another three month delay prior to the return of noticeable hair regrowth. This then means that the total hair loss and regrowth cycle can last 6 months or possibly longer when induced by physical or emotional stress. There are some health conditions which may go undetected that can contribute to alopecia. These include anaemia or low blood count and thyroid abnormalities. Both of these conditions can be detected by a simple blood test.
In woman some hormonal preparations may produce hair in places where it is least desired, such as on the face.
Hormonal changes are a common cause of female alopecia. Many women do not realize that alopecia can occur after pregnancy or following discontinuation of birth control pills. It is important to remember that the alopecia may be delayed by three months following the hormonal change and another three months will be required for new growth to be fully achieved.
It is estimated that up to 45% of women suffer considerable hair loss after the birth of a baby, although hair may not fall out till three months later. A small number of woman suffer severe or even complete hair lose after pregnancy. The reason for this is hormonal. When a woman is pregnant the levels of the hormone progesterone are unusually high and this has the effect of forcing hair into the resting phase prematurely. After pregnancy when hormone level's re-balance, new hair begins to grow and eventually pushes the resting hair out. When the hair begins to fall it is usually a good sign that new growth is on the way. However the fall can last up to six months and few women find their hair never regains its former luxurious thickness. All you can do is eat a well-balanced diet to ensure that the hair has all it needs for healthy growth and treat it with care.
An underactive thyroid, a problem which is related to auto-immune disease, also leads to increased alopecia and this may be one of the first symptoms noticed. Many women suffer thyroid dysfunction after childbirth, that coupled with post-pregnancy hair loss, sometimes confuses the issue. A treatment of thyroid hormone prescribed by your doctor will usually clear up the problem up. High fevers or a local skin problem with the scalp are two more possible causes of alopecia. In fact persistent hair fall can be a symptom of such a wide variety of underlying health problems that it's always advisable to consult a doctor if you are worried in the slightest.

Free New Captain Scarlet Episode to Celebrate Global Amazon Release!
Home News Free New Captain Scarlet Episode to Celebrate Global Amazon Release!
New Captain Scarlet is returning to the fight against the Mysterons on Amazon!
And We've Released a Free New Captain Scarlet HD Episode to Celebrate!
Gerry Anderson's 2005 CGI series New Captain Scarlet is getting an international release via Amazon Video. The high definition episodes will launch on the 29th September 2017 – the 50th Anniversary of its predecessor – the classic 1967 series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. To celebrate the release, a free New Captain Scarlet episode ('Rat Trap') will be available on the Gerry Anderson YouTube Channel, and Gerry Anderson Facebook page until the 31st October, so fans can experience Gerry's reimagining in high definition, free of charge.
Gerry Anderson's classic cult 1960s TV series was reimagined by Gerry Anderson and his production company Anderson Entertainment in 2005. The retro-metabolised version of the iconic children's show was called 'Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet' and it used motion-capture CGI Hypermarionation instead of the traditional Anderson puppets, bringing the show firmly into the 21st century.
Series 1 (the first 13 episodes) are being released globally on Amazon Video, with series 2 coming out later in the year. New Captain Scarlet is also now available on Blu-ray in the UK for the first time thanks to Network Distributing and is available from the Gerry Anderson store at shop.gerryanderson.co.uk.
Included on the Blu-ray set are episode-specific audio commentaries with voice artists David Lane and Wayne Forester, and the late Gerry Anderson himself. New Captain Scarlet was the last TV project that Gerry Anderson oversaw before his sad passing in 2012. At 76 during the making of Captain Scarlet, his enthusiasm to entertain, inspire and excite audiences continues to this day.
In the year 2068, peace on Earth is maintained by the Spectrum Organization, with colour coded agents led by Colonel White and the Angels, a crack team of female fighter pilots. After an altercation and an unprovoked attack on the Mysterons on Mars, the Earth is plunged into conflict, with only Spectrum standing in the defence of Earth.
Two Spectrum agents lead the fight: Captain Black, who is corrupted by the extraterrestrial menace. And one man fate has made indestructible. His name, Captain Scarlet.

On Tuesday, the Williams Project was held in Room 3 and the lecture was given by Mrs Inch. She talked about the work of Christo (and his wife Jean-Claude), an incredible artist who created works on a grand scale. Among these works were a giant curtain stretching across a valley, a group of pink booms surrounding eleven Miami islands, and, my personal favourite, a wrapped Reichstag. The talk was very interesting and intriguing, and Mrs Inch was a very good lecturer, speaking with enthusiasm and clarity.

Sorry, a TIME Magazine Cover Did Not Predict a Coming Ice Age
By Bryan Walsh
Updated: September 9, 2019 9:00 AM ET | Originally published: June 6, 2013
The newsmagazine business isn't what it used to be. (Though, hey, it could be worse.) But the space between the red borders of TIME magazine remains some of the most valuable real estate in the news industry. You can tell by how often doctored TIME covers show up in protest crowds, movies, TV shows and on the Web. Former TIME International editor Jim Frederick even had a copy of this fake TIME from the video game Call of Duty 3 hanging up in his office — a fact that drove me insane with jealousy.
Ads, jokes and protests are one thing, though — hoax covers are something else entirely. And that's the problem with a faked TIME cover about global warming that's been floating around the Internet for some time. (Hat tip to the science blogger David Kirtley, who posted on this a couple of days ago.) You can see it here.
EPA Head Scott Pruitt Reportedly Launching Program to 'Critique' Climate Science
Acting on Climate Change Is Actually Where the Money Is
The cover on the right is real. (I should know — I wrote the story about China and India that's mentioned in the subhead.) The one on the left is very much not. It's a doctored version of this cover, from 2007:
TIME's cover on global warming from April 9, 2007.
Apparently the hoax cover has been floating around the Internet for at least a few years. I'm not sure who created it, and it doesn't seem to have gotten a whole lot of traction, even among climate-science deniers. Though kudos to whoever initially put the fake cover together. That's some pretty good photoshopping.
But the hoax does touch on an important part of climate science — and one that's often misunderstood by skeptics. Call it the Ice Age Fallacy. Skeptics argue that back in the 1970s both popular media and some scientists were far more worried about global cooling than they were about global warming. For some reason a Newsweek article on the next ice age, published back in 1975, gets a lot of the attention, though TIME did a version of the story, as did a number of other media outlets. The rationale goes this way: the fact that scientists were once supposedly so concerned about global cooling, which didn't come true, just shows that we shouldn't worry about the new fears of climate change.
But as John Cook points out over at Skeptical Science, global cooling was much more an invention of the media than it was a real scientific concern. A survey of peer-reviewed scientific papers published between 1965 and 1979 shows that the large majority of research at the time predicted that the earth would warm as carbon-dioxide levels rose — as indeed it has. And some of those global-cooling projections were based on the idea that aerosol levels in the atmosphere — which are a product of air pollution from sources like coal burning and which contribute to cooling by deflecting sunlight in the atmosphere — would keep rising. But thanks to environmental legislation like the Clean Air Acts, global air-pollution levels — not including greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide — peaked in the 1970s and began declining.
The reality is that scientists in the 1970s were just beginning to understand how climate change and aerosol pollution might impact global temperatures. Add in the media-hype cycle — which was true then as it is now — and you have some coverage that turned out to be wrong. But thanks to the Internet, those stories stay undead, recycled by notorious climate skeptics like George Will. Pay no attention to the Photoshop. It's the science we should heed — and the science says man-made climate change is real and very, very worrying.

E-Cigarette Battery - Keep in the best working condition!
With the concept of E-cigarette gaining prominence in recent times, it is very important that while vaping process is carried on, there should be complete security associated with it. As the quote states, that there is no gain minus pain, it must be remembered that while vaping, the e-cigarette battery that is present needs to be taken care of as well.
Loving the flavors presented by your vaping machine? Well, with a correct lithium-ion battery that is usually chosen in this case, it can be an experience of a lifetime. However, a wrong and faulty e-cigarette battery could result in the whole experience going wrong.
Wish to prevent this delightful experience turning into a debacle? Here are some tips that can ensure the right choice of e-cigarette battery for your vaping pen.
Unprotected lithium-ion batteries can cause a lot of issues. To prevent that, it is best to take safety measures.
The first step that you should take care of is getting a e-cigarette battery that has voltage of 3.6V. The batteries are to be initially tested with the help of a multi-meter that determines its condition. Given that mechanical mod and RDA maintenance are extremely important for ensuring correct quality of battery, this test helps in warranting compatibility standards.
The coils of this e-cigarette battery can be tested in the process, and this further helps in making sure, correct battery for perfect usage. Keep your battery considerably charged for getting maximum support.
A minimal check can go a long way!
If you are thinking that a little overcharging of the e-cigarette battery would help in holding it for a longer time period, you are surely on the wrong side. In case of lithium-ion batteries, leaving it in a discharged position can decrease its capacity, while over-charging can result in reducing its life-cycle. In certain cases, dangerous blasting of batteries can also take place.
Either you can keep a check on the charging point every 15 minutes or set a timer of a minimum of 20 minutes. Once this timer gives a single alarm, set it accordingly.
Using Nitecore D2 Charger is the best option in this case. Having specific settings that fit with your lithium-ion battery, this has auto-timer that turns off charging once the battery is completely charged.
So, make sure that your vaping process is not disturbed in any manner.
Make sure that the lithium-ion batteries that are specifically associated with this vaping pen are neither associated with other batteries nor even with metals. In case of any such mixing, dangerous fires can occur. Therefore, one has to be very careful.
So, have you ensured that all these details are clarified regarding your vaping pen? In that case, you can breathe! However, before making a purchase, be very sure of the compatibility issues as well as safety measures associated with this pen.
Once you have matched your requirements with the e-cigarette battery and the pen that you have bought, alternative smoking can truly be a great experience.

Profile for Mithali Raj. Profile Updated On 21 Tuesday January 2020 142629000000
A splendid 114 not out was quite a telling statement made by a 16-year-old ODI debutant overlooked for the country's World Cup about a year ago. For over a decade and a half since then, Mithali Raj has become a name synonymous with the sport in the country.
Born in Jodhpur to a Tamil family, Raj grew up in Hyderabad learning the basics alongside her brother, having made the tough choice of giving up on her passion - dance. Admittedly forced into the game by a strict disciplinarian father, Raj's many sacrifices bore fruit when at 19, playing just her third Test, she surpassed Karen Rolton's 209* with her 214 to set the new record of best individual score (now second-highest) in the longest format. Her 18-year career (and counting) has been a roller coaster of a ride but, fortunately for her, the runs never dried up.
The World Cup snub made her stronger and more determined, but when her chance finally came, Raj was laid low by typhoid in the 2000 edition. However, she made up for it by leading India into the finals of 2005 edition, which also remains the side's best finish in the mega event thus far. The cup has remained elusive but Raj has stacked up some serious numbers, and many firsts amongst them, to establish herself as the face of women's sport.
Pushed into opening in T20Is by former teammate and then coach Purnima Rau, Raj's career graph saw an unprecedented climb in the shortest format of the game. Since then, she's become as indispensable in the opening slot as she is to India's middle-order in 50-overs cricket.
The second most-capped player in ODI history behind Charlotte Edwards, Raj overtook the former England captain's tally of all-time highest runs in the format (5992) when she punched Ellyse Perry for a single in the 29th over of India's World Cup game against Australia. In the same match, she also became the first-ever to scale 6000 runs in women's cricket. Raj is only the third player in women's history to lead the country in 100-plus ODIs. Her tally of 49 half-centuries in the 50-over format - and seven of them on the trot - are both a record.
Raj's consistency is second to none. She's left behind some of the most prolific names in men's circuit - let alone women's - with a career average of over 51. In the form of her life even at 34, it wouldn't come as a surprise when she goes on to become the first women ever to 200 caps.

Q: Массив времени в Java 8 Вход: 10 20
.......... 23 22
Задача такая: создать массив, где в i-м элементе было бы это время. То есть a[i].getMinutes - вернуло бы 20(22) соответственно. Пробовал создать массив типа Time, но Idea орет на a[i].getMinutes из-за устаревания(?).
В общем, мне нужен аналог DateTime из C#

A: Можете использовать этот класс LocalDateTime  Метод ,который вам нужен getMinute()

A: Насколько я понял, в данном примере нас интересует только время, поэтому предпочтительнее воспользоваться LocalTime, а не LocalDateTime, который хранит также и информацию о дате. Вот мой код на Java 8.
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    List <LocalTime> result = new ArrayList<>();
    Path p = Paths.get("newfile.txt");
    result = Files.lines(p).filter( str -> !str.isEmpty()).map(str -> {
        int hours = Integer.parseInt(str.split(" ")[0]);
        int minutes = Integer.parseInt(str.split(" ")[1]);
        return LocalTime.of(hours, minutes);
    }).collect(Collectors.toList());

    System.out.println(result);
}

Отмечу также, что при чтении файла почему-то добавляются пустые строки, поэтому я добавил фильтр.

Seven years ago, we decided to take our first steps into developing a co-production culture within Camphill Village Trust. We wanted to improve every single interaction whether it be between a person and their support worker, a group working together on a project that benefits the whole community or even by creating opportunities for people to have real influence over the governance and direction of the charity.
The first challenge we faced was knowing how we could be creative to enable each person to take responsibility and ownership. We also needed to know how to agree and plan what a successful outcome would be co-productively.
What was clear, was the need for a methodology, toolkit and not least the courage of everyone being prepared to take a leap of faith together.
We'd heard about the work of an organisation called 'Learn to Lead'. They'd developed a co-productive approach that was changing the way some schools engaged with their students. These schools were challenging the traditional education hierarchy. They created environments in which students worked together to take responsibility to bring about the positive changes they wished for. In addition, we recognised many similarities, not least that many schools and social care provisions had developed a 'doing to' rather than a 'doing with' culture.
We realised that one size does not fit all. Tools, methods and facilitation styles would need to be adapted and developed to ensure adults with learning disabilities could participate in a way that makes sense to them. Our aim is to enable people to see the benefit of taking responsibility for achieving the outcomes they want.
The process is simple in that it starts with a blank agenda and two questions. 'Why are you here'? And 'what do you want to do'?
By encouraging everyone to share in this way leads to an agreement about what it is we're working towards. It's important to recognise the contribution each person can make. Furthermore, we plan what each person will do and also identify where any support needs to be focused.
We share responsibilities, celebrate achievements and equally, embrace failure as part of the process. Similarly, this means that results may not always be achieved quickly or in the way expected. However, nobody said co-production was easy or for the faint hearted but the results are worth it.
Co-production is transforming the way we work with people with learning disabilities and autism. The result across Camphill Village Trust is challenging and inspirational to all. The people we support are growing in confidence. They're taking more responsibility in their own lives all whilst taking active and varied roles within the communities they live in.

Five at Five: Artists Weigh in On "Old Town Road" + Tanya Tucker and Dennis Quaid Aren't Dating
Five Things to Know in Country Music for April 10
by Lauren Tingle 4/10/2019
Give us a minute, and we'll give you five things you might want to know in country music. It's your new favorite fix for all the latest news headlines in one place. Here's what you need to know for Wednesday (April 10):
AJ McLean Talks Going Country with CMT Radio Live
Backstreet Boy AJ McLean told CMT's Cody Alan backstage at the ACM Awards that while he'll never leave the beloved boy band that broke his career, fans are resonating with his first country single "Boy and a Man." It's the first release from a forthcoming album that's in the works. "Country will always have a very near, dear place in my heart," McLean told Alan. "Some of the production that's on my album may be a little more on the urban/pop side, but the lyrical content and the melodies are definitely country."
Artists Weigh in on "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X
Many reporters dedicated valuable red-carpet time at the 2019 ACMs by asking artists their definition of country music following the Lil Nas X controversy involving the rapper's song "Old Town Road." Unfortunately, the subject was unavoidable with the song debuting at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart this week and bumping Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" to No. 3.
Brothers Osborne's TJ and John Osborne told Billboard they think the issue with "Old Town Road" isn't on the genre citing their own struggles getting their songs played on country radio. "For me," TJ Osborne said, "if music makes someone feel good that's really the whole point of it. However, I don't like that there's this controversy around it particularly once again, John and I, we've had success at radio, but we still struggle at radio all the time. To complain about that, it's like, dude, c'mon. Get in line."
Jimmie Allen weighed in on Wednesday's (April 10) CBS This Morning and said he thought the song should be on "every chart." "Either way it's a good song," he said. "It's catchy, and people are talking about it, and they're playing it. And at the end of the day, that's all that artists want. So, Lil Nas, bro, [thumbs up]."
CMA Fest Adds Stadium Headliners

Army veteran and staunch American patriot Craig Morgan is back from his 11th USO Tour, which was the final senior military tour for the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Paul J. Selva. The week-long military entertainment tour visited military bases in five countries including Germany, Afghanistan, Qatar, Iraq and Italy. Celebrity chef Robert Irvine, surfer Makua Rothman and former MLB player Shane Victorino along with UFC fighters BJ Penn, Felice Herrig and Christopher Weidman were also part of the tour. This was Morgan's 16th military entertainment tour overseas overall.
Tanya Tucker and Dennis Quaid Aren't an Item
Just because Tanya Tucker and Dennis Quaid take an excellent prom photo on the red carpet, doesn't mean they're dating. A rep for Tucker tells People, "They are not a couple! They are longtime friends and having a blast collaborating and making music together."
Lauren Tingle
Lauren Tingle is a Tennessean and storyteller who eats music for breakfast, lunch and dinner. When she's not writing or rocking out, she enjoys yoga and getting lost in the great outdoors.

Favorite Road Not Taken Quotes
1. "He no longer represented someday a possibility. He represented a road not taken a road that suddenly shot so far into the distance she couldn't see it anymore."
Author: Ann Brashares
2. "It is the misapplied intelligence God has given us that makes all the mischief on the earth. That intelligence He designed to carry out the purposes of His will, and endowed it with capabilities to grow, spread abroad, accumulate, and endeavor to enjoy greater happiness, glory, and honor, and continue to expand wider and wider, until eternity is comprehended by it; if not applied to this purpose, but to the groveling things of earth, it will be taken away, and given to one who has made better use of this gift of God."
Author: Brigham Young
3. "I had been on the road for a long time and was not really getting anywhere. Bob Johnston, a friend of mine, had taken over Columbia in Nashville. He asked me if I wanted to come down. I did - thank God I did."
Author: Charlie Daniels
4. "Writing of only one small part of the broader problem, namely the single-minded pursuit of individualistic 'rights,' [Don] Feder is not wrong to conclude: Absent a delicate balance--rights and duties, freedom and order--the social fabric begins to unravel. The rights explosion of the past three decades has taken us on a rapid descent to a culture without civility, decency, or even that degree of discipline necessary to maintain an advanced industrial civilization. Our cities are cesspools, our urban schools terrorist training camps, our legislatures brothels where rights are sold to the highest electoral bidder."
Author: D.A. Carson
5. "I often wished that I could split myself a hundred ways and live a hundred separate lives [...]. But in the end, I supposed, we only had one life to lead, and the roads not taken would always outnumber and outshine the roads we end up taking, day by day, without plan."
Author: Davy Rothbart
6. "What's the first sign of a lurking, hidden expectation you didn't know you had? Pain! People don't do what we want, things don't happen quickly enough, the weather doesn't cooperate, our bodies don't cooperate. Why are these moments so painful? Because our minds are focused on a static, unchanging, me-centric picture while the dynamic unfolding of a broader life continues around us. There is nothing wrong with expectations per se, as it's appropriate to set goals and work, properly, towards their fruition. But the instant we feel pain over life not going "my way," our expectations have clearly taken an improper turn. Any moment you feel resistance or pain, look for -- and then let go of -- the hidden expectation. Practice giving yourself over to what "you" don't want. Let the line at the store be long. Let the other person interrupt you. Let the nervousness make you shake. Be where your body is, not where your mind is trying to take you."
Author: Guy Finley
7. "Can you catch the expression of the Sperm Whale's there? It is the same he died with, only some of the longer wrinkles in the forehead seem now faded away. I think his broad brow to be full of a prairie-like placidity, born of a speculative indifference as to death. But mark the other head's [Right Whale] expression. See that amazing lower lip, pressed by accident against the vessel's side, so as firmly to embrace the jaw. Does not this whole head seem to speak of an enormous practical resolution in facing death? This Right Whale I take to have been a Stoic; the Sperm Whale, a Platonian, who might have taken up Spinoza in his latter years."
Author: Herman Melville
8. "Now I happen to possess the bump of locality. It is not a virtue; I make no boast of it. It is merely an animal instinct that I cannot help. That things occasionally get in my way—mountains, precipices, rivers, and such like obstructions—is no fault of mine. My instinct is correct enough; it is the earth that is wrong. I led them by the middle road. That the middle road had not character enough to continue for any quarter of a mile in the same direction; that after three miles up and down hill it ended abruptly in a wasps' nest, was not a thing that should have been laid to my door. If the middle road had gone in the direction it ought to have done, it would have taken us to where we wanted to go, of that I am convinced."
Author: Jerome K. Jerome
9. "There is no more disastrous mania, no more dangerous whim, than the speculation over roads not taken."
Author: Juan Gabriel Vásquez
10. "Loving relationships, though necessary for life, health, and growth, are among the most complicated skills. Before we can be successful at achieving relationships, it is necessary that we broaden our understanding of how they work, what they mean and how what we do and believe can enhance or destroy them. We can accomplish this only if we are willing to put in the energy and take the time to study failed relationships as well as examine successful ones. Loving relationships cannot be taken lightly. Unless we are looking for pain, they must not be forever approached in a trial and error fashion. Too many of us have experienced the cost of these lackadaisical approaches in terms of tears, confusion and guilt."
Author: Leo Buscaglia
11. "But far-fetched things do happen. In fact, many people's entire lives are completely far-fetched. I think we are constantly surrounded by extraordinary possibilities. Whether we are aware of them or not, whether we choose to act on them or not, they are there. What is offered to us that we choose not to act upon falls by the wayside, and the road that is our life is littered with rejected, ignored and unnoticed opportunities, good and bad. Chance meetings and coincidences become extraordinary only when acted upon. Those that we allow to pass us by are gone forever. We never know where they night have taken us. I think they were never meant to happen. The potiental was there, but only for the briefest moment, before we consciously or unconsciously chose to ignore it."
Author: Linda Olsson
12. "Being thankful to the road not taken,.... because only right things at right time give uh pleasure and success."
Author: Lovely Goyal
13. "In the dull twilight of the winter afternoon she came to the end of a long road which had begun the night Atlanta fell. She had set her feet upon that road a spoiled, selfish and untried girl, full of youth, warm of emotion, easily bewildered by life. Now, at the end of the road, there was nothing left of that girl. Hunger and hard labor, fear and constant strain, the terrors of war and the terrors of Reconstruction had taken away all warmth and youth and softness. About the core of her being, a shell of hardness had formed and, little by little, layer by layer, the shell had thickened during the endless months."
Author: Margaret Mitchell
14. "It seems there is always a road with bends and forks to choose, and taking one path means you can never take another one. There's no starting over nor undoing the steps I've taken. It isn't like I'd want to not have my little ones and Jack and that ranch, it is part of life to have to support yourself. It's just that I want everything, my insides are not just hungry, but greedy. I want to find out all the things in the world and still have a family and a ranch. Maybe part of passing that test was a marker for where I've been, but it feels more like a pointer for something I'll never reach. (November 29, 1887 entry, pg 309)"
Author: Nancy E. Turner
15. "I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended."
Author: Nelson Mandela
16. "I wonder about all the roads not taken and am moved to quote Frost...but won't. It is sad to be able only to mouth other poets. I want someone to mouth me."
Author: Sylvia Plath
17. "She saw the stubborn set of my face. "I've never felt blessed," I said. "There must be free will to choose. Do you know the poem about the two roads, and the one not taken?" Yes. That has always amused me, because who created the two roads in the first place?" It was a question I had never considered."
Author: Tan Twan Eng
18. "His copy was full of lofty echoes: Greek Tragedy; Damocle's sword; manna from heaven; the myth of Sisyphus; the last of the Mohicans; hydra-headed and Circe-voiced; experiments with truth; discovery of India; biblical resonance; the lessons of Vedanta; the centre does not hold; the road not taken; the mimic men; for whom the bell tolls; a hundred visions and revisions; the power and the glory; the heart of the matter; the heart of darkness; the agony and the ecstasy; sands of time; riddle of the Sphinx; test of tantalus; murmurs of mortality; Falstaffian figure; Dickensian darkness; ..."
Author: Tarun J. Tejpal
19. "One always wonders about roads not taken."
Author: Warren Christopher

As lead guitarists, we often chase the elusive ideal of one picking technique that lets us "play anything."
This is an illusion, of course. Everything in guitar land is to a certain extent rehearsed, from picking sequences to complex fretboard maps for improvising through chord changes.
The ability to do this quickly is among the most rare of picking skills. Even elite players commonly handle tricky phrases like this with a combination of sweeping, alternate picking and legato. But Miller's ability to do this with alternate picking alone, at tempos exceeding 160bpm sixteenth notes, and with apparently very little mechanical effort, is nothing short of wondrous. How on earth is he doing it?
You might recognize this semi-circular picking movement from our interviews with Steve Morse and Carl Miner, both of whom we've written about here at GuitarWorld.com. All these approaches represent a class of picking movements we call "crosspicking," and they are the key to navigating one-note-per-string sequences without hitting any of the surrounding strings.
The MP joint is the connection between the metacarpal bones of the palm, and the phalanges, or finger bones. Mercifully, we'll use the abbreviation!
Extending the MP joint raises the index finger, and flexing it lowers it. In combination with thumb lifting, or "adduction," Miller can raise the pick upward so he doesn't crash into the next higher string when he plays a downstroke. On the upstroke, the process is reversed: the MP joint flexes, and the thumb abducts.
We used to think this level of virtuosity was a rare genetic superiority possessed by an elite few. And to be sure, Miller's ability to engineer a new approach to accurate picking, completely by feel, is certainly the product of his unique talent. But the actual picking movement itself is just that: a movement, and one we can now easily see, even on a phone. And thanks to Miller's incredible generosity, the rest of us now have a fighting chance of actually doing it.
You can watch the full-length Martin Miller interview, with more than 100 slow motion examples and tablature, as well as downloadable versions of the interview and the 15-minute analysis video, in Masters in Mechanics.

Excerpts From Nonexistent Books
From "The Reinforcements" by Tania-Stacy Stancliffe
Posted by alexp01 under Excerpt | Tags: fiction, military academy, Russia, story, World War I |
Commandant Schukov addressed the cadets as was his wont, like a general at a review with arms clasped at ninety-degree angles.
"What's he got to say this time?" Viktor whispered to Pyotr. "Perhaps he'll unclench and finally let that rifle he's had up his ass go."
"More likely a list of floggings," Pyotr said. "I hear Feodor got it good for daring to talk back to old Lebedev in artillery class."
"Cadets!" barked Schukov. "As I have said before this time, despite being from some of the finest families in this oblast, you are maggots unfit for service in the Emperor's glorious army. The strong, proud soldiers of his great-grandfather the late Emperor, they who turned back Napoleon, are rolling in their graves at such a speed it's a wonder they haven't been harnessed to generate electricity."
Pyotr snickered at this. Schukov would as soon beat the freckles off you as look at you, but he did have a colorful way with words.
"Nonetheless, it was my great misfortune to recieve this morning a direct order, which I hereby obey. And that order is direct from Stavka, and thus may as well have been written in the Emperor's own hand. To free up men who are desperately needed at the front near Riga, effective immediately the Academy's cadets are to take up anti-bandit patrol duties."
An excited murmur rippled through the crowd. "Holy shit in an outhouse," breathed Viktor. "They're putting us into action!"
"Silence!" bellowed Schukov. "Total silence!" He waited until the hubbub had died to an acceptable level in his one good ear before proceeding. "You will be armed and equipped at government expense, to do something about the deserters that have been causing chaos in the oblast."
The old commandant thumped a step to the right on his wooden leg and puffed out his chest. "I do not expect that you will be able to perform effectively in this task, but as we have taught you, obedience is key. You will be deployed, and the good men that you free up will serve the Emperor on the front."
"Real weapons! Real patrols! We're not even old enough to enlist, and look at us!" Viktor bubbled. "Like real soldiers!"
"TOTAL SILENCE!" screamed Schukov, loud enough to rattle the rafters. He brushed the resulting dust off his white epaulettes. Then, in an affect more akin to his normal bellow: "I requested reinforcements to ensure that you laggards aren't all killed, as dealing with your angry parents would be more burden that int's worth. And, as has long been evident to me, I have been put on this earth only to endure the trials of maggots and weasels. As such, allow me to introduce to you your reinforcements…"
"Maybe a Guards unit," Pyotr whispered. "Or veterans from the front!"
"…the Women's Battalion of Death, Reserve Youth Auxiliary Division," Schukov continued, spitting out the title like a bitter peachpit. "Your next instructions, AS ORDERED, will be from its local coordinator."

From "The Darkness Responds in Kind" by Anonymous
Posted by alexp01 under Excerpt | Tags: Egypt, fiction, horror, story, Suez Canal, Vietnam War, World War I, World War II, Zululand |
It is in times of war, when modern men and modern machines move into uncertain spheres, that the most such strange encounters take place. A few notable ones:
1879: South Africa
A cavalry detachment that was assigned the pursuit of broken Zulu formations after the decisive Battle of Ulundi. The number of men involved are unclear, but 12 men–British soldiers and Zulu warriors with British equipment–eventually appeared in Portuguese Mozambique and were interned there. Despite repeated requests they were never returned, and a perusal of Portuguese records suggests that all 12 were incurably insane and remitted to an asylum in Lourenço Marques. An official report was tendered to the Foriegn Office by the Overseas Ministry in Lisbon, but it was sealed by order of the Prime Minister until 2100.
1915: Egypt
A raiding party of Turkish troops penetrated the Egyptian desert during the larger assault on the Suez Canal. A British force was detailed to follow them. Only five survivors were found despite extensive searches of the high desert, far to the south of the combat near the Dashur necropolis. Reports of strange lights in the desert by Egyptians corresponded with wild tales told by survivors of vicious attacks by luminous beings that could not be driven off with gunfire.
1942: New Guinea
A detachment of Australian troops fleeing toward Port Moresby and pursued by a larger Japanese force disappeared along with their adversaries. In 1945, the remains of a joint Australian-Japanese campside was found high in the Owen Stanley range far from the combat zone. Papers recovered by the investigators reported encounters with shadowy "tribesmen" in the forest. The descriptions matched no known tribes in the Owen Stanley range or the Kokoda Trail areas. No survivors were ever found.
1970: Cambodia
South Vietnamese and American troops moving into the dense jungles of Cambodia reported the discovery of an unknown temple complex from the late Angkor period via radio. There was no subsequent contact aside from a garbled request for close air support that could not be fulfilled. Subsequent searches failed to locate either the temple or the soldiers, with 10 Americans in one squad and a further 50 South Vietnamese troops being listed as missing in action. Examination of North Vietnamese records from the period indicates that an opposing force of 150 troops was also officially unaccounted for.
From "Phosgene Dreams" by Sharpe S. Edgemon
Posted by alexp01 under Excerpt | Tags: fiction, hallucinations, phosgene, story, World War I |
White Star shells, they called them, equal volume of chlorine and phosgene to neutralize the disadvantages of both. They fired the shells hours before the men were to surmount the parapets. But often as not, the prevailing winds were from the east, carrying the men forward into a haze of their own chemical stew. Anyone whose mask didn't have a tight seal was explosed.
It started with the intense scent of musty hay and green corn borne on the wind. A burning sensation like strong whiskey going down, eyes watering. They could still stumble forward, even fire, but within a day they'd be writhing on a stretcher, unable to breathe. Pink foam on the lips and water on the lungs.
Oxygen starvation does strange things to the mind. You see things that aren't there, bright lights, phantoms. All too often, the man hasn't the breath to tell you what specral horrors are coming to bear him away with them. He hasn't even the breath to scream.
One who had survived his own phosgene dreams described it thus: "There was a crimson light falling like rain, like a rain of blood and light. I saw men stumbling in and out of it, dead men, men I'd seen blown apart. They were together with the other side in a rictus embrace, and they were dancing slowly to music I couldn't hear. They reached out a finger to beckon me to join them in that angry, dead dance."

"It's…good to see you again," said the Baron. "You've been fighting, I hear. Avoiding the family name, the family lands."
"It was the only way to clear my mind of what happened," Pyotr replied.
The Baron nodded. "Feodor and Arkady, yes. A tragedy at the hands of those animals, the Socialist Revolutionaries. Arkady died a soldier's death, and I saw to it he had a soldier's burial, in the family plot."
"That was kind of you," Pyotr said. "A pity you couldn't be more kind to him in life."
"I suppose I deserve that," said the Baron. "Though I hoped that, in the midst of all this madness, that you might understand."
"What of the family lands? What of Feodor?" Pyotr asked.
"The lands are still ours. I've pledged to support the Provisional Government and promised the tenants what they need to get by. The Czar was weak, a weak fool, to let them come to power, but they're better than the alternative. A bulwark against the Socialist Revolutionaries coming to power."
"And Feodor?"
"Last I heard he took to the hills with about half of your old State Militia detachment. Joined the SRs, I imagine, though they say that his men took out a German patrol. So they haven't forgotten their patriotism at least, and are still serving their betters even if they themselves do not yet understand it."

"You don't get it, do you?" snarled Feodor. "I did what I had to do to protect the Baron. He is a noble, he is an important member of His Majesty's imperial government, and his death would have thrown this oblast into chaos! Those are the kind of decisions a leader has to make."
"Not with lives," sobbed Viktor. "Not with human lives, not with people that we love. We fought together, Zinoviy. I would have died for you, and this is how you've repaid me? Look at what you've done!" He was on his knees, ignoring the still-burning fires from the destroyed automobile, the dead body of his younger brother clutched desperately to his chest.
Pyotr, stunned, could only watch. Rifles cracked all around them as Feodor's detachment cut the assassins to ribbons. The Baron's car and the remainder of the motorcade had sped off down the road, not knowing or not caring that his son was still at the site of the ambush with his companions in the State Militia.
Feodor approached Viktor. "I am sorry that he had to die," he continued in a slightly milder tone. "Truly I am. But the only way to finally squash the Socialist Revolutionaries was to spring their trap, and placing him and the others in the Baron's car in the motorcade was the only way to do it without endangering the Baron's life."
With the speed of a madly uncoiling spring, Feodor leapt to his feet, dropping his brother's cooling body to the ground. He drew his bayonet–the same cruciform bayonet in the British style that he had made in his father's shop–and held it to Feodor's throat. "That's not true," he growled. "You could have sat in that car yourself."
A hue and cry went up, and many of the remaining State Militia trained their weapons. Some aimed at Feodor, others at Viktor, while some like Pyotr simply held their weapons in stunned readiness.
"You wanted to lick the Baron's boots," Feodor continued, his words dripping with poison and pain. "Hoping to get him as a patron to better yourself. You used us, all of us, for your own selfishness. Especially him. Especially Arkady."
"Think about what you're doing," said Viktor darkly. "By taking up arms against the State Militia you're casting your lot in with those that just killed Arkady."
"No," spat Feodor. "You killed him. The SRs were simply to trying to wipe his filth off this earth. And you know what? Maybe they're right."
With a smooth motion, he drew the blade across Viktor's throat. Gurgling and spurting crimson, the latter sank to his knees, whimpering as he bled out. Without so much as a glance at his corpse, or at Pyotr, Feodor turned to the militiamen.
"You all saw what happened here, comrades," he said. "Who will join with me in deserting this rat's nest and stomping them out, and who will put themselves in the service of those who butcher children for their own advancement?"

"Cooper, I want to have a word with you about your essay."
"Yes, Mrs. Chandler."
"As you know, the essay was about the causes of World War I, which began one hundred years ago this year."
"And yet you say here in your essay that the war began when the duck of peace was stolen and ended when it was reclaimed."
"That's right, Mrs. Chandler."
"And you don't see any problem with this? What about the Archduke Franz Ferdinand?"
"Well, as I said in the essay, Mrs. Chandler, he had been given the duck of peace to hold onto and the assassins stole it from him."
"But how could that be when Austria-Hungary was the first to declare war?"
"The Archduke had left the duck of peace to the King of England, so when he died whoever had it wasn't the right person."
"And I suppose that means that all future wars had something to do with this ridiculous duck of yours?"
"That's right, Mrs. Chandler. World War II started when Germany stole the duck from Poland."
"How in heaven's name did it get to Poland?"
"It migrated. That's what ducks do, after all, Mrs. Chandler!"

Fighting for the man beside us
Seen through gas-mask lenses
Through phosgene clouds
Advancing silhouettes
Rifle's jammed, a club only
Too long and heavy anyway
When death's at arm's length
Or from above, a thunderbolt
I grapple with my enemy
Hand to hand, war to the knife
Fumbling in chemical twilight
Blades though both our chests
Now-useless masks come off
Red foam on uniforms, lips
We clasp trembling hands
Enemies waiting for the end

[Olympic Valley, Calif.] Oct. 5, 2017 – Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows has invested $4 million in its snow safety program in a continued commitment to the efficiency of mountain operations and the safety of guests and staff. New to the resort, an Astar 350 B3 helicopter will be on site for a portion of the season and four new avalaunchers will enhance avalanche control abilities. The Gazex avalanche mitigation system, a network of large pipes known as "Dragons," will nearly triple in size and will also include eight new Dragons for avalanche control on Alpine Meadows Road. Recognizing that cooperation across the larger Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows team is equally critical to getting the mountain open, the resort has engaged the Karakoram Group, comprised of former leaders from every level of our nation's elite special operations units. The Karakoram Group has been conducting special training throughout the summer with leaders from the lift operations, lift maintenance, grooming, ski patrol and snowmaking departments at both mountains.
The new snow safety tools will be utilized by professional ski patrol teams at Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows with more than a millennium of combined experience, supported by the efforts of over 2,600 employees, the largest team in the resort's history.
In a continuous effort to advance snow safety technology and techniques, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows will introduce a new tool to its fleet: an Astar 350 B3 helicopter which will be parked, on standby, in the Squaw Valley parking lot for a portion of the season. The helicopter will to be used for avalanche control at both Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows after major snow cycles, when weather and visibility allow. Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows is the only resort in California using a helicopter as part of their snow safety program, while a select few other resorts across North America successfully utilize helicopters for snow safety.

Called Dragons because of their fiery blast, these remotely controlled avalanche mitigation systems use propane gas and oxygen to create a concussive blast to remotely trigger avalanches when staff and skiers are not in the area. The technology provides an additional level of safety to ski patrol teams and greater efficiency as they work to open up the mountains. In 2015, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows became the first and only California ski resort to install this technology and has been expanding its use annually since.
Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows has ordered 13 new Dragons for the 2017-18 season, including eight for the ridge above Alpine Meadows Road and five within the boundaries of the resort. With 10 total on-mountain Dragons and five control shelters, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows will have the largest system in use at any ski resort in North and South America. The five new Dragons will include one each on High Yellow Gully and Pete's Peril at Alpine Meadows as well as two on Red Dog Ridge and one on The Roof (on Emigrant Peak between the Attic and the Funnel) at Squaw Valley. These will join five existing installations: three at Squaw Valley located on Headwall Face, Gold Coast Ridge and Mainline Pocket and two at Alpine Meadows located at South Peril and High Yellow.
"Generally speaking we try to place the Dragons in good spots for worker safety, but also for operational efficiency. Meaning that we want to protect our patrollers that are going onto those slopes on skis, but we also want to be able to keep the travel routes open," said Will Paden, Squaw Valley Ski Patrol director.

Avalaunchers are compressed-nitrogen cannons that fire an explosive projectile, similar in concept to a potato gun. Four new avalaunchers, two each at Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows, will enable ski patrol to trigger avalanches from a distance and control the snow pack prior to opening terrain to the public. Alpine Meadows has traditionally used avalaunchers for snow safety, while Squaw Valley will be reintroducing them, as the mountain has not used avalauchers for many years.
Ski patrol is just one of the interdependent teams that work to get the mountain open each day: Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows employs over 2,600 staff, the largest team in the resort's history. Heading into the 2017-18 season, leaders from across mountain operations departments at Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows have been engaging in dedicated leadership cross-training with Karakoram Group, which uses a background in elite military training to develop high-performing teams. Leaders from the lift operations, lift maintenance, grooming, ski patrol and snowmaking departments at Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows have been working with Karakoram Group throughout the summer and into the winter season to identify ways in which they can optimize their operations and develop culture and collaboration across teams.
"The mountain operations mindset is similar to that of a Navy Seal: high-adrenaline and self-challenging. They work in a complex and challenging environment, from lift maintenance hammering rime ice off lift towers, to groomers winching their cats up terrifically steep slopes, to ski patrol hiking along ridgelines to perform snow control. They are passionate about what they do and they hold themselves and their teams accountable," Dave Cooper, founder, chief strategy officer and chief of operations for Karakoram Group.

This tiny aluminium-clad cabin by Slovenian studio OFIS Arhitekti cantilevers over the edge of a mountain on the Slovenian-Italian border.
OFIS Arhitekti worked with local structural engineers CBD to develop the Kanin Winter Cabin, which is designed to resist extreme weather conditions on its exposed site on Mount Kanin.
The Slovenian studio – which is featured on the Dezeen Hot List as one of the top 400 forces in global architecture and design – previously created a similar cabin on Slovenia's Skuta Mountain.
This tiny 9.7-square-metre cabin has a narrow floor plan containing three shelf-like floors, and has dimensions of just 2.4 by 4.9 metres.
It is made from a combination of cross-laminated timber, glass and aluminium panels.
"The challenge is to install real objects, shelters in 1:1 on remote sites and study their response to extreme weather, radical temperature shifts, snow and rugged terrain," said the studio.
"The harsh conditions of wind, snow, landslides, terrain, and weather require a response of specific architectural forms, structures and concept."
The mountain is known for its inclement weather conditions, with record snowfalls and rains, as well as strong winds.
The site can be accessed only by climbers or by helicopter, so the studio called on the services of the Slovenian army to airlift the cabin into its precarious position.
With turbulent weather conditions, it took three attempts for the Slovene Armed Forces helicopter crew to deliver the cabin onto its rocky foundations. Here, the cabin cantlievers over the edge of the mountain and is tethered in place by cables.
Inside, the timber-lined cabin features three resting platforms that face towards the valley through a large panoramic window. Its only decoration is a hunting trophy of a pair of deer antlers.
"This particular site was chosen because of its 360-degree views over Slovenia and Italy, and spectacular views to Triglav, Soca Valley and Adriatic sea," said the studio. "It will become a destination for hikers, climbers, cavers, mountaineers, nature lovers and romantics."
"The interior design dictates modesty, subordinate to the function, providing accommodation for up to nine mountaineers," it continued.
The project, which was commissioned by the nearby town of Bovec and the Slovenian Mountaineer Association, is also intended as a weather test for the materials used.

Golden Globes Awards: Six Things You Need To Know About The Film Nominations
Netflix dominates with more than 17 nominations!
Most of today's Globe nominations didn't come as a big surprise. "Marriage Story," "The Irishman," "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" and "Parasite" have been ruling awards season their many nominations were expected.
Here are six facts to note about the 2019 Golden Globe film nominations:
1. Netflix dominates with more than 17 nominations (and that's just in film).
"Marriage Story" and "The Irishman" have been ruling awards season.
2. The HFPA fails to nominate female directors AGAIN!
The snub has ignited a firestorm on social media and in Hollywood . Fans believe Academy members may take this into consideration and dole out more votes for writer-directors Greta Gerwig ("Little Women"), Lulu Wang ("The Farewell"), Lorene Scafaria ("Hustlers") and Marielle Heller ("A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood").
3. Willem Dafoe is also missing for his work in "The Lighthouse."
He's been on many prognosticators' lists, but the film may have proven to be just too out of the box for the HFPA. Instead, Anthony Hopkins ("The Two Popes") seems to have taken his place at the Globes.
4. There's a relative lack of diversity of the men's acting categories, .
There's only one man of color nominated: Eddie Murphy in comedy for "Dolemite Is My Name."
5. Fans believe Cate Blanchett's nomination for her work in "Where'd You Go, Bernadette?" is a total head-scratcher
Apparently here didn't seem to be a large pool to choose from, but many expected Constance Wu ("Hustlers") to be on the list.
6. Fans also believe it's time that the Golden Globes include performances of the best song nominees?
If you're going to nominate superstars like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Elton John, we want to hear them sing. Executive producer Barry Adelman told that they don't include performances because there's not enough space in the Beverly Hilton's International Ballroom to accommodate musical productions.

What does CAMRA thinks of Coors announcement it will serve beer at a temperature lower than freezing?
Coors said it had spent more than £10m over eight years developing the pouring mechanism for the beer called Sub Zero. It has taken out more than 50 patents on the one-minute, fully automated process.
The crux of the technology is the formation of soft frozen lager crystals in the top of the beer glass, as the lager is poured. These crystals melt away in the drinker's mouth, while helping to keep the beer colder for longer, according to Coors.
I just read a report that the age of immaturity is rising, I think that's being refelected in our tastebuds as well.
Why drink beer that a)is too cold to taste b)is flavorless anyway and c)possibly has unpleasant flavors caused by who knows what being masked by coldness?
And people are paying for this? This is certainly the Age of Immaturity.
For those that already like a cold tasteless beer this may be just what the doctor ordered. BUT for those of us that like a good stout or lager served around 58-65 degrees this will be a disgrace to the beer industry. Too bad more of us here in the U.S. don't appreciate good beer served at a temperature that allows the flavor to be savored.
Coors makes me laugh… and cry.
Laugh at the absurdity of freezing beer, and cry for the *millions* of consumers who will be further handicapped from ever honestly appreciating a beer.
At least you won't have to taste it (much) anymore.
This just goes to show that if you advertise the hell out of something, the sheeple will follow. It should make you concerned about what's possible with the concentration of money and power. Oh, right, it's just a beer. What was I thinking?
