Buju Banton And Vybz Kartel's New Albums Enter Billboard Reggae Chart
Dancehall veterans Buju Banton and Vybz Kartel have made their debut on the Billboard Reggae Albums best selling chart as expected, but neither grabbed the No. 1 spot. Both albums, Upside Down 2020 and Of Dons & Divas, were released on June 26.
Nielsen Music/MRC Data compile Billboard Album charts in a manner that reflects the modern ways in which fans consume music. The chart takes into account on-demand video and audio streams from YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, and TIDAL and Vevo in addition to album sales.
The charts are updated weekly and were released today (June 7).
Legend: The Best Of Bob Marley And The Wailers by Bob Marley and the Wailers remains at No. 1 for the 26th consecutive week. The RIAA Diamond certified album is an almost permanent fixture on the chart and was first released back in 1984.
Buju Banton's Upside Down 2020 took the No. 2 position on debut, while Vybz Kartel's new album, Of Dons & Divas, made its debut at No. 6 on the Reggae Albums chart.
The compilation albums Best of Shaggy: The Boombastic Collection by Shaggy and Dutty Classics Collection by Sean Paul took the No. 3 and 4, respectively. While World On Fire by the Southern California reggae band, Stick Figure landed the No. 5 position.
Buju's 20 track album had significant backing and support from Roc Nation and Island Records and was featured prominently on online playlists and in international publications.
The album featured contributions from Pharrell Williams, Stephen Marley, John Legend, and Stefflon Don.
Upside Down 2020 was his first project to be released since his return to Jamaica in 2018 following his incarceration in the United States. His prior album, Before The Dawn, won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 2010.
Vybz Kartel remains incarcerated but has been touting Of Dons & Divas as the album that will finally earn him a GRAMMY award. By its nature, it boasted a much longer featured list, including Lisa Hyper and Daniboo, who appears on the cover, Skillibeng, Tommy Lee Sparta, Lisa Mercedez, Squash, Slimatic, TeeJay, Daddy1, Sikka Rhymes, Jucee Froot and his sons Likkle Vybz and Likkle Addi.
Vybz Kartel's 'Of Dons & Divas'
The 18-track album was produced by Kartel's wife Short Boss Muzik and his own Vybz Kartel Muzik imprint. Zojak Worldwide is handling distribution.
Kartel has only been able to peak at No. 2 with previous projects on the Billboard Reggae Chart. Kingston Story (2011) reached No. 7, Vybz Kartel Roots & Culture: The Voice of the Jamaican Ghetto (2013) peaked at No. 6, Kartel Forever: Trilogy (2013) peaked at No. 11, Reggae Love Songs & Other Things (2014) peaked at No. 7.
His last album, To Tanesha, was not placed in the Reggae Album category but peaked at No. 87 on Billboard's Current Album chart.

Le Antonio's Foundation Feeding Programme


A few months back there was a news story on a motherless baby Bengal Tiger who was "adopted" by a French Bulldog (our past mention, and video). How have things been going for this unlikely pairing?
She's still doing a fine job caring for her not-so-little bundle of joy, but according to one of the keepers interviewed by FNN it's getting to the point where they're going to have to separate them. Not surprisingly, at some point a rambunctious growing tiger goes from being a handful to a danger to its undersized parent.
The plan, however, is to put them in adjacent cages so they can at least see each other, if not wrestle around.
Here's a brief FNN video update, sans subtitles.
Heart-kun, the puppy with the heart-shaped patch on his side, has become internationally famous, recently showing up on a Reuters story (check out the video if you like cute animals). But now he's got some competition: Chachamaru, a kitten with a heart-shaped mark on the other side.
FNN is reporting on Masako Nakaya, a resident of Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture and her unusual cat, Chachamaru. A month ago, an animal hospital was looking for a home for an abandoned kitten that had a heart-shaped patch of fur on its right side. Nakaya volunteered to take him in.
Now five months old, Chachamaru has, according to FNN, made the Nakaya house a lively place. Although someone abandoned Chachamaru, Nakaya says he's brought happiness to her home (not to mention her 15 minutes of fame). No word on whether they're going to try for the life of fame and fortune like Heart-kun, but they appear to be happy to just have him around.
The pretty plates, as seen on Matsuyama City's website.
In a bit of a turnabout on those boxy watermelons, Matsuyama City (J), in Ehime Prefecture, made national news by producing the first-ever license plate in Japan with curved edges.
The cute little cloud-shaped plates, intended for use on scooters and small motorcycles, became available on July 2nd. The cloud shape is a tribute to Ryotaro Shiba's historical novel "Saka no Ue no Kumo" (roughly, "Clouds Over The Hill"), about Japan's tumultuous 19th century Meiji Period. The novel takes place in the region, so the city has adopted it as something of a theme—they opened the Saka no Ue no Kumo Museum this April.
The plates come in three colors, depending on the size of the motorcycle. Matsuyama City plans on making 12,000 of the plates available through the coming year; they've already received orders for over 1300 of them.

Tech Data introduces new global brand
American broadliner Tech Data has introduced its new brand identity, highlighting the company's expanded reach and capabilities as a global leader in technology distribution and services. Following the company's transformational acquisition of Avnet's Technology Solutions business earlier this year, Tech Data has established a single global brand that capitalizes on the full reach, efficiency, and technical expertise of its new combined organization. Tech Data will now operate as a unified brand in all of its markets throughout the world, enabling channel partners to benefit from its unmatched end-to-end portfolio of products, solutions, and services. "As we evolve our business in anticipation of what's next, the Tech Data brand has evolved as well. Today we are proud to introduce the new Tech Data and the next chapter in the history of our company", said Bob Dutkowsky, chairman and CEO of Tech Data. "Our new global brand is centered on the proven strength of the Tech Data name and provides a unified promise of integrity, expertise and excellence. Tech Data serves as a beacon in the IT channel—central to our customers' and vendors' success. Our teams have highly specialized skills in next-generation technologies, extensive software and services capabilities, and the best logistics engine in the industry, all backed by a global IT system that can do anything from process the sale of a laptop to configure the most complex multi-vendor solution. Tech Data has become a company that delivers business outcomes—not just products—and we're excited for the future of our company as we help connect the world with the power of technology."
To enable a specialized approach while maintaining the exceptional service levels that partners expect from Tech Data, the company has grouped its offerings into two primary solutions portfolios under the Tech Data brand:
Tech Data's Endpoint Solutions portfolio, previously known as the company's broadline offering, primarily includes PC systems, mobile phones and accessories, printers, peripherals, supplies, software and consumer electronics.
Tech Data's Advanced Solutions portfolio includes primarily data center technologies such as storage, networking, servers, advanced technology software and converged/hyperconverged infrastructure. This portfolio also includes next-generation technologies such as cloud, IoT, mobility, security and analytics solutions.
Tech Data's next-generation technology solutions, as well as the company's services offering, including lifecycle, CRM, integration and supply chain services, span its Endpoint and Advanced Solutions portfolios. In addition to the company's two solutions portfolios, Tech Data will continue to go to market with three specialized solutions: Datech Solutions, Maverick AV Solutions and Global Computing Components. Azlan, Tech Data's pan-European enterprise specialist brand, will be transitioned over time and will be incorporated into the company's Advanced Solutions portfolio.
While Tech Data's logo will not change, the company's color palette and graphic devices have been updated to incorporate both its foundation and its new dimensions, blending the unique capabilities of Tech Data and Technology Solutions into a modern, global brand. Tech Data has also introduced new purpose, vision, and mission statements.
New "Professional" Class Drives Impressive 38% Growth for 3D Printers in H1 2017
3D printer shipments increased 38% year-on-year in the first half of 2017, driven by soaring growth in a new Professional sub-category which straddles the traditional Industrial and Personal/Desktop markets, according to market analyst CONTEXT. At first glance, the market appeared to be driven by unit shipments in the Personal/Desktop space, which saw growth of 39%, while Industrial/Professional shipments slumped 6%. However, the new grouping reveals 64% growth year-on-year for 3D printers in the Professional category, outperforming another sub-class: personal sub-€2,200 printers, which increased by 36%. Professional products can be found in both the Personal/Desktop and the Industrial/Professional markets, with a price range of €2,200-€17,000. Leaders in this sub-class include Ultimaker, Formlabs, Leapfrog, MakerBot (Stratasys) and Markforged.
Meanwhile, Personal sub-€2,200 printers comprised the vast majority (85%) of the 200,509 printers shipped in the overall Personal/Desktop market in the first half of 2017. "The Professional class of 3D printers has been emerging for some time now, coming both down from the high-end and up from the low-end, but it is now really coming into its own and merits separate analysis", said Chris Connery, vice-president of Global Market Research and Analysis, CONTEXT. "As the market matures and grows, and price points in the Personal/Desktop market continue to drop, $5,000 is no longer the only defining barrier at the low end of the global 3D printing market."
New Global Leader Emerges
Q2 2017 also saw the emergence of a new leader in the Personal/Desktop segment: Monoprice, which enjoyed year-on-year shipment growth of over 450% for the quarter and shipped 19% of the quarter's 107K units. Monoprice's meteoric rise to the top is even more impressive because the firm's sales have initially been confined to one region: the United States. Throughout the first half of the year, it was neck-and-neck with the former number one vendor, XYZprinting, in terms of global market share. Monoprice continues to set the bar for entry-level price points with a weighted average price for its products of €245 in Q2 2017, compared to €350 for XYZprinting. However, XYZprinting is not sitting idle and launched a new colour desktop printer in the period. Along with Monoprice and XYZprinting, other global rising stars through the first half include Wanhao, Formlabs Prusa Research, Dagoma and Markforged: all of which saw year-on-year shipments grow above 50%.
In the Industrial/Professional market, many publicly traded companies – most notably Stratasys and 3D Systems – saw unit volumes decline again in 1H 2017, even while unit shipments rose for the likes of EOS, GE Additive, Carbon and HP. However, several high-profile players have stated this is due to execution rather than demand issues, leaving many still feeling bullish for the second half of the year. All manufacturers have continued to champion the use of 3D printing for mainstream production. However, although metal 3D printing has already turned that corner, the plastics side of the industry is still largely stuck using the technique largely for prototyping. Yet to come are new solutions from market leaders Stratasys and 3D Systems in the form of their respective Infinite Build and Figure-4 systems and momentum for hot players like HP and Carbon is just now building.
Outlook: 2017 and Beyond
The global 3D printing market, which includes not only printer hardware but also materials and services, is on track to be worth €4.8B in 2017 – an increase of 15% from 2016. That's despite a relatively weak first half for the Industrial/Professional side of the market, which accounts for nearly 78% of all revenue in terms of hardware alone. As the market shifts to focus on production, it is on track to reach €14.5B by 2021. "The second half of 2017 will see a new crop of lower-priced metal printers ship, paving the way for a strong 2018 as metal continues to lead the industry", noted Connery.
eSports economy drives gaming screens growth in contracting global desktop monitor market
The fast-growing billion dollar global eSports economy drove worldwide gaming monitor sales up +175% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the previous year, while worldwide shipments of desktop monitors declined by -3%, driven by lower sales in China, according to the latest figures from CONTEXT, the global IT market analysis company. Sales performance across the world varied considerably by region, reports CONTEXT. Desktop monitor shipments to EMEA grew by +5%, driven by CEE, which saw +12% growth. North America and Japan saw shipments up +2% and +4% respectively. However, those to the rest of the world, 52% of the total, declined, with the biggest market, China, decreasing by -11% year-on-year. The decline was greatest in the business desktop monitor segment, dropping -4%, while the fall in consumer-based sales was smaller at -3%. "Despite the overall negative trend, there are significant opportunities for growth", commented Dominika Koncewicz, Senior Analyst for Displays at CONTEXT. "These are due to factors such as a shift to larger, more expensive screens, the rising sales of curved monitors, higher resolution displays, and the growing demand for wider 21:9 monitors as well as the demand for gaming monitors."
Full-HD monitors remain the dominant resolution accounting for two-thirds of global shipments. WQHD screen sales are growing at +58% year-on-year, while Ultra HD monitors still represent a small portion of the market. However, with a +77% year-on-year sales increase, this has become the fastest growing resolution category. Dell retained its position as the top vendor in Q2 2017 with a 19% unit share of the total market, while HP and Lenovo followed with shares of 14% and 10% respectively.

Arrow signs global agreement with Bosch Sensortec to address IoT
Semiconductor specialist Arrow Electronics has signed a global distribution agreement with Bosch Sensortec to supply Bosch Sensortec products. Bosch is a leading supplier of MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) sensors worldwide. It has built on an initial base in automotive applications to expand its offering to consumer electronics markets and now provides a diverse portfolio of MEMS devices for the internet of things (IoT). Arrow offers an extensive range of IoT solutions, from component level through to complete secure, end-to-end deployable services. Together, Arrow and Bosch Sensortec will be pursuing opportunities for inertial, environmental and smart sensors in applications including wearables, smart home, building automation, industry 4.0, domestic robots, toys, augmented and virtual reality and drones. As multiple sensors are integrated into single devices and package sizes are shrunk to meet energy efficiency and space requirements, Bosch Sensortec's sensor data fusion software helps to enable optimum application performance. The software separates static and dynamic acceleration, compensates for 3D tilt, eliminates magnetic distortion and identifies rest position for sensor calibration. Stefan Finkbeiner, CEO of Bosch Sensortec, commented: "this agreement brings together two of the most dynamic companies addressing the IoT, whose combined offerings can help many companies accelerating their product development, deployment and long term management. We look forward to a successful relationship." Aiden Mitchell, global vice president of IoT sales at Arrow, added: "Bosch Sensortec has created an excellent portfolio that is well-positioned to address the proliferation of sensory edge intelligence within today's and future IoT applications. Bosch's highly integrated products and software solutions complement Arrow's Sensor-to-Sunset strategy perfectly."

Owain Rhys Davies Talks About The Secretive Twin Peaks Casting Process And Meeting David Lynch
by Pieter Dom May 10, 2016, 3:56 PM
Just like the other 216 people on the humongous cast list, Owain Rhys Davies cannot reveal anything about the new Twin Peaks until it airs early 2017. But in a conversation with the Wales-based BBC Cymru Fyw, the Welsh actor talks about the peculiar process of being cast on the show.
Owain met associate producer and casting director Johanna Ray over lunch, where she took a couple of Polaroid pictures of the strawberry blonde actor. After their meeting, he heard nothing for a very long time.
My agent called me while I was driving. I had auditioned 7 months before, so I already assumed I didn't get the part. I had to pull over and I just screamed. Everyone around me looked at me in shock. It was a memorable day.
David Lynch had picked Owain for being "different." It already happened soon after the audition, but production wanted to keep everything so secret they didn't mention anything until the week of filming.
I got the call on Monday. I was in for a costume fitting on Wednesday and on the set by Friday.
That was the first time the Cardiff-born actor ever met David Lynch, and he was a little nervous when his director came up. "For some reason, when I'm nervous I turn into a stand-up comedian and I tell a lot of jokes." But David Lynch took his hand and said: "Shall we?" They had a chat about the character and went straight to filming.
The plot is so secret that most of the actors did not get to see the script until two days before shooting. They want nothing to get out before the show airs, so people can discover the mystery on their own.
David Lynch has put a lot of time in the script in order to please the fans across the world, and to ensure that everyone is able to get back into the odd and bizarre world he [and Mark Frost] created in the past.
Owain Rhys Davies: Showreel
Hat tip to Dylan!
My prediction is that this second incarnation will be wildly successful. Lynch and Frost had 25 years to think about the untimely demise of the original show and what they would have done with it had it continued. I cannot WAIT to see what they come up with; 2017 seems far far away…

*MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION* Premier waterfront property for sale in Bath, NC on Bath Creek. This 30-acre farm is located on Bath Creek, with unbelievable views that will take your breath away. The properties boast over 3300 foot of waterfront on Bath Creek and Glebe Creek in Beaufort County, NC. This is a great property for a premier waterfront development in this quant small town. The property has high banks on the creek with beautiful large hardwoods and open fields. This waterfront is on the South side of Bath Creek Bridge that allows for sailboat access. This is truly one of the prettiest undeveloped waterfront properties I have ever stepped on and has an unbelievable amount of potential. Bath became North Carolina's first town in 1705 and is full history. Bath was also a stop for Edward Teach, better known as the pirate "Blackbeard", on a regular basis. Bath is a beautiful little Eastern NC town, which is full of charm and great people. The streets are quiet and there are many gorgeous waterfront homes in Bath and the surrounding areas.


When we start discussing our heavy usage of weighted averages with customers, we sometimes get a questioning look, until we make the analysis more concrete for them. People are very familiar with using averages; equity analysts regularly look at numbers such as Days of Sales Outstanding that are composite numbers for an entire company. Very often, only when segment data are provided do analysts break such numbers into more discrete groupings.
The reader understands that while there may be good reasons for there to be more accidents in M939 5-ton trucks, that's the place to start the investigation.
Similar analysis has been done over time comparing death rates in Detroit with Baghdad, with the use of per-capita data being the critical component; per-capita is a weighted average concept.
Dr. Peter Pronovost, who has been quite popular recently [Ed.: link added], made big news with his infection-reducing checklist for use in hospitals. In a recent interview, he described a system he helped build for hospitals in Michigan. In describing the ability to check infection rates across ICUs across hospitals across health care systems across the state, Dr. Pronovost shows that he understands how to use weighted averages to identify hot spots for potential trouble areas.
With a deep understanding of finance, free cash flow, and valuation equivalents, these principles can be applied in concert with proprietary algorithms to manage a business's generation of free cash flow.


"Always been pleased with their work"
Chuck, my favorite plumber guy arrived right on time. The basement floor was opened... I have used FLS for other projects in the past, including replacing the main water line coming into the house. I have always been pleased with their work and I have and will recommend them to everybody I know. They are a little expensive, but I get back quality workmanship, parts and a system that works the way it is supposed to.
"Professionalism has just been top notch"
They are probably not the cheapest in the book but we are absolutely confident that they are amongst the best. They always have estimates that are pretty much on par with others. The work has been excellent, they always clean up and it's been fabulous. They come in and put little overshoes on their feet to keep things clean. They follow up to make sure everything is appropriate. The professionalism has just been top notch.
"Always responsive, courteous, and do a professional job"
We've used this company for various plumbing jobs over the years- installation of bathroom fixtures, garbage disposal, replacement of the wax seal of a toilet, etc.- always been great. They are always responsive, courteous, and do a professional job. They may cost a bit more, but you get what you pay for.
Please make sure the following gets communicated to Chuck's boss. Chuck is the employee who installed our water heater for your company. In a time where customer service does not seem important, Chuck seemed only concerned with customer service! You are lucky to have him employed with your company. He was very courteous & concerned about making sure our home was not damaged. I cannot say enough about him. We liked Chuck so much that we plan to continue our business with your company & request him. Kudos to your company for employing a person like Chuck.
"These are my plumbers for life"
The job sounded simple: replace a toilet and water line in Madeleine's house. But the old toilet in this case was an out-of-date, wall mounted design, and Art of Fettes, Love & Sieben spent five hours carefully weaving a new copper water line through Madeleine's basement. "He cleaned up after himself as he went along and was just generally friendly and charming as he did it," Madeleine says. "These are my plumbers for life"
"Pleasure to deal with nice, competent people"
I want to thank you for your prompt and competent service. We had two other plumbers to our house who were unable to fix our problems (and we were charged). Within minutes, your plumber diagnosed our problem and fixed it. Also cleared tub drains (we were told this was not possible); fixed a dripping faucet (we were told nothing could be done - it had to be replaced) and fixed a loose faucet in the kitchen. Please thank the gentleman who visited our house. It was pleasure to deal with nice, competent people.

The Avengers is een Amerikaanse film uit 1998, geregisseerd door Jeremiah S. Chechik. Het verhaal is gebaseerd op de Britse televisieserie De Wrekers. De hoofdrollen worden vertolkt door Ralph Fiennes en Uma Thurman.

Verhaal

Twee geheim agenten (John Steed en Emma Peel) worden op pad gestuurd om een gestoorde professor genaamd Sir August de Wynter tegen te houden die de wereld chanteert met een machine waarmee hij het weer kan manipuleren. Het is hun eerste opdracht samen daar Steed nog maar net klaar is met zijn training.

De twee komen op het spoor van een geheime organisatie geleid door De Wynter, die zich kenmerkt door het feit dat alle leden hun identiteit verhullen door teddybeeruniformen te dragen. Een dode man gekleed in zo'n uniform wordt gevonden in een bedrijf genaamd Wonderland Weather. Wanneer Steed en Emma DeWynter op willen zoeken in zijn landhuis, worden ze aangevallen door mechanische bijen. Ze kunnen ontkomen dankzij hulp van Alice, een andere agent.

Steed laat een kaart die hij gevonden heeft bij Wonderland Weather onderzoeken door onzichtbare Jones; een medewerker van de geheime dienst die onzichtbaar is geworden. Steed ontdekt ook dat Vader, een van de kopstukken van de geheime dienst, overgelopen is naar de kant van de Wynter.

Dankzij de kaart ontdekt Jones waar De Wynter zijn hoofdkwartier heeft. Steed en Emma dringen hier binnen, waar Steed De Wynter bevecht in een duel. De Wynter komt bij het gevecht om en de weermachine wordt vernietigd.

Achtergrond
Warner Bros. weigerde de film voor de officiële première al te tonen aan de pers of een testpubliek. Dit werd door veel critici al opgevat als teken dat de film geen succes zou worden, en Warner Bros. dit zelf ook goed wist. De première zou plaats moeten vinden in juni 1998, maar werd uitgesteld naar augustus. Verder werd de film voor de première nog teruggesnoeid van 115 minuten naar 89 minuten.

De film was bepaald geen kaskraker. De wereldwijde opbrengst bleef steken op 23 miljoen dollar, tegen een budget van 60 miljoen dollar. Ook reacties van critici waren vooral negatief. Op Rotten Tomatoes gaf slechts 15% van de recensenten de film een goede beoordeling. Metacritic gaf de film een score van 12 punten op een schaal van 100. Fans van de originele serie vonden dat de film respectloos omging met de serie.

Prijzen en nominaties
The Avengers werd tijdens de Golden Raspberry Awards 1998 genomineerd voor 9 Golden Raspberry Awards, waarvan de film er 1 won:

Slechtste film
Slechtste regisseur - Jeremiah S. Chechik
Slechtste acteur - Ralph Fiennes
Slechtste actrice - Uma Thurman
Slechtste mannelijke bijrol - Sean Connery
Slechtste scenario
Slechtste remake of sequel - gewonnen (samen met Godzilla en Psycho)
Slechtste schermkoppel - Ralph Fiennes en Uma Thurman
Slechtste originele lied - "Storm"

In 1999 werd de film ook genomineerd voor een Golden Reel Award voor beste geluidseffecten.

Two Odeon cinemas were formerly located in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England:

The Headrow

Located at the junction of Briggate with the Headrow, the Odeon first opened as the Paramount Theatre with a showing of The Smiling Lieutenant, starring Maurice Chevalier, in 1932. The Paramount had seating for 2,556 in stalls and circle levels, and featured the fourth largest Wurlitzer organ in Europe. The Wurlitzer was removed from the Odeon during the mid 1960s as is now happily playing at Thursford Collection in Thursford, Norfolk. The resident organist at Thursford is Robert Wolfe. The Cinema was very popular and had 1.2 million patrons during its first year.

In 1940 the name was changed to the Odeon following the purchase of the Paramount cinemas in the United Kingdom by the owner of Odeon, the Rank Organisation and became a concert venue, while still being a cinema. In 1963 and 1964 it staged three concerts by The Beatles.

In 1969 it was converted to a twin cinema, and in 1978 a third screen was built in the former Paramount Restaurant.

In 1988 the Odeon was refurbished and made into a 5-screen cinema with a reduced seating capacity of 1,923.

The Odeon, which was the last picture palace in the city centre, closed due to competition with local multiplexes and the impending opening of a thirteen screen multiplex at The Light retail and leisure complex originally operated by Ster Century and now Vue, it closed in 2001. The building which was originally to be converted to an apartment & leisure complex but was almost immediately bought by Primark who converted it into a large three storey clothes store that opened in August 2005.  The building is now a Sports Direct store.

The Paramount Cinema's architects were designed by Frank Verity and Samuel Beverley.

Merrion Centre

The former Odeon cinema in the Merrion Centre is now largely forgotten but the site remains behind locked doors as it did in the 1970s. The cinema was the first to be built in Leeds since the 1930s however the site only operated as a cinema for 13 years between 1964 and 1977 before it was closed.

Where some Yorkshire Bank cash machines are within the centre was the main entry into a cinema that could accommodate nearly 1,000 film fans, The doors have now been boarded up but remain padlocked behind the wall holding the cash machines.

The cinema occupies a space above the current Home Bargains (formerly Woolworths) and if you take the stairs in the Merrion Centre to the upper level you can still see a second set of doors into the former cinema near an entrance into the Merrion Centre car park.

The projection equipment has been removed, as have the seats but much of the building remains untouched. The cinema is now inaccessible but in 2002 Greg Taylor, who works for a TV company was inside the redundant building scouting for possible TV locations and took a series of photographs.

In a similar location to where the Merrion Centre is now, an Odeon "Super Cinema" was planned on Merrion Street and was possibly of the typical Odeon art deco style but was cancelled presumably due to the purchase of the former Paramount cinema and the start of the Second World War.

"Love all [the] ladies, thank you for making my weekend beautiful," she said.

Roy Schatt
Before he became a photographer, Roy Schatt studied painting with N.C. Wyeth and worked as a graphic artist for BBD&O on the Lucky Strike Hit Parade.
Living in Greenwich Village in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Schatt met Jose Quintero who was directing Tennessee Williams' Summer & Smoke at the Circle-in-the-Square Playhouse. Roy's portraits of the cast went on display in the lobby and Harpers Bazaar and Vogue featured his portrait of Geraldine Page. During this period, Roy's numerous subjects included the likes of Rod Steiger, Patricia Neal, Budd Schulberg, Elia Kazan, Arthur Penn and Ben Gazzara. Schatt's subjects also include Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Billie Holiday, Steve McQueen, Marilyn Monroe, Tennessee Williams and many others. Although he is famous for photographing actors and other celebrities, Roy Schatt's work is the antithesis of glamour photography. He always sought out the "unguarded moment." Schatt was also an actor and his emotionally exposed style led to him being called the "Method" photographer because of the many parallels with the revolution that was then sweeping the acting world. Famed teacher Lee Strasberg recognized this kinship when he named Schatt the Official Photographer of the Actor's Studio.
The James Dean pictures are undoubtedly the crowning achievement of Schatt's career. As he recalled many year's later, Schatt was mesmerized from almost the first moment they met: "He was a squinty schlump of a person all bent over. Then Dean suddenly got up and this ugly person became a dream, an Adonis who started to dance around the room. It was a transition I couldn't believe." Dean studied photography with Schatt and they became close friends.
During the course of their yearlong friendship, Schatt and Dean formed a perfect photographer/subject relationship that resulted in many of the most popular images of Dean. "Dean was a method actor," Schatt explained, "being an actor, I was able to recognize that theatrical instinct. I would direct and provoke and the scenes would become inspiration. But the photograph still must be honest and interesting beyond the performance."
In January 1955, Edward Steichen chose a Roy Schatt photograph as part of the Museum of Modern Art's collection. His work has been exhibited at the Staley-Wise Gallery in Soho, Manhattan's International Center for PHotography, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC and the Chicago Art Institute. Roy's second book "Faces of the 50's" is in it's final stages and is currently being reviewed by several major domestic and international publishers.

49ers beat themselves with 13 penalties, fall to Cardinals
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Quinton Dial believed he was making a legal play when he came straight at Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer and clobbered him.
Instead, another yellow flag flew for a roughing the passer penalty — a costly 15-yard infraction that extended Arizona's winning drive.
Palmer ran for a go-ahead 8-yard touchdown with 2:28 left and tumbled after spiking the ball in a telling story of his day, and the NFC West-leading Cardinals squeaked by the San Francisco 49ers 19-13 on Sunday for their fifth straight win and first road victory in the series since September 2008.
Dial wants to watch the tape again get a better idea of the play in question.
"When I watched the replay, I saw he kind of ducked into it," Dial said. "There was nothing I could do at that point, just go into him."
Palmer saw it clearly from his perspective: "There's no debate here. He hit me right in the face with the crown of his helmet."
On a day when its defense largely stood its ground, San Francisco committed 13 penalties for 81 yards to help the Cardinals' cause.
And the Niners were still in it until the end.
After Palmer's touchdown, Chandler Catanzaro missed the extra-point try to give Blaine Gabbert and the 49ers (3-8) one more chance with 2:21 left. Anquan Boldin caught an 18-yard pass on fourth-and-20 to clinch the win for Arizona.
Gabbert was 25 of 36 for 318 yards and an 8-yard touchdown pass to Vance McDonald in the third and might be making his case to be the starting quarterback going into 2016. Gabbert hit Torrey Smith for a 41-yard completion and had far more success than predecessor Colin Kaepernick did in a four-interception day back in a 47-7 loss at Arizona in Week 3.
"Blaine's playing awesome. Some of the plays he makes, I think he's able to showcase some of his skills and prove that he belongs in this league," Smith said. "I'm just glad that he's able to go out and prove it."
Boldin finished with eight catches for 93 yards against his old team as the 49ers were eliminated from the division race in yet another mistake-filled performance.
San Francisco had two penalties on one play with 7:13 to go, including a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct by Smith with the defense on the field when he made contact with the side referee.
It certainly wasn't the best day for the NFL's top-ranked offense as San Francisco outgained Arizona 368-337. Coach Bruce Arians' bunch will take it nonetheless.
"The officials were struggling mightily," Arians said.
With Arizona down two running backs, David Johnson ran for a 1-yard touchdown in the third for the Cardinals (9-2), who have nine wins in their first 11 games in consecutive seasons for the first time in franchise history and fifth time overall.
Larry Fitzgerald had 10 catches for 66 yards, surpassing Hall of Famer Steve Largent for 16th place on the career list for yards receiving and moving him into 12th place for receptions past Randy Moss.
A diving Fitzgerald dropped the ball in the end zone with 4:04 left in the first quarter, and Arizona settled for Catanzaro's 26-yard field goal. He added a 41-yarder early in the second.
Palmer was 24 of 40 for 271 yards and improved to 22-4 over his last 26 starts.
He completed a 48-yard pass to John Brown on the second snap of the third quarter, and then took advantage of five penalties — four pass interference calls and an illegal hands to the face — as Arizona finally scored a touchdown.
"I've never seen four penalties like that in one possession," Fitzgerald said.
Phil Dawson kicked a 53-yard field goal as the first half expired and a tying 33-yarder in the third for his 18th straight made kick.
Arizona earned its first win on San Francisco's home field since a 23-13 Week 1 victory on Sept. 7, 2008, at Candlestick Park, snapping a six-game skid. Only three current Cardinals had won previously at San Francisco: Calais Campbell, Fitzgerald and Lyle Sendlein.
NOTES: McDonald made six catches for 71 yards after fellow tight end Garrett Celek was carted off with 3:46 left in the first quarter with a left ankle injury and didn't return. ... Arizona CB Jerraud Powers injured his calf in the third, while RB Andre Ellington hurt a foot and RB Chris Johnson a knee.

QIF Review: A peek into IIIT's Quarantine Facilities
Sarthak Chittawar 12 months ago 9 min read
QIF Review: A peek into IIIT's Quarantine Facilities
This is an opinion piece. The views expressed in this article are those of the author alone and are not a reflection of Ping! as a whole.
We've been living in a totally different, sometimes virtual, world since this virus hit us 2 years ago, and 'quarantine' has been one of the most common words in our vocabulary since then. As we know, college had shifted to an online mode for a lot of these COVID-affected months. But now, after a couple of years, we've finally been welcomed back to campus.
A few hostel wings were converted to QIFs (Quarantine & Isolation Facilities). Here's a look into each one of them, with information about their logistics, facilities & rule-making policies, which were collected from interviews with people who've stayed there.
Duration of Quarantine
Everyone who came to campus had a 5 day quarantine. Those who tested +ve for COVID after returning from outside campus had to quarantine for 10 days.
However, the government's recommendation for quarantine/isolation was 7 days, so an email was sent to the college authorities, asking to relax this duration from 10 to 7 days (it was then relaxed).
Old Parijaat
The students in quarantine were allowed to order things like groceries, from Swiggy Instamart, etc, but cooked food like Swiggy deliveries couldn't be ordered. In fact, our informant felt that there was no bio-bubble, and a few students weren't even following COVID norms. For example, a few people collected deliveries/food from the guard while not even wearing a mask, while even these guards were all following covid protocols.
However, a lot of praise was given to the ground-level staff. They tried to prevent the contact of a COVID +ve and -ve person as much as they could, and did a great job here.
Parijaat had an attached washroom with each room, but the rooms themselves were extremely dull with inadequate sunlight, which obviously affected mental health. Nothing considerable seems to have been done by the authorities to remedy this.
Rule-Making
The main concern was that the CTF was disconnected from the ground-level situation, which led to what was called "random rule-making". CTF has 3 student volunteers, out of which one wasn't even on campus.
PhD Quarters
Logistics & Facilities
It was called "a 1-week vacation" to be quarantined in the PhD hostel rooms, as the rooms were great, with the only initial concern being the lack of tables (which was addressed fast enough). The guards in the isolation block were helpful and available on call as well. The ground-level staff are appreciated for their efforts.
Everyone in quarantine was provided with an oximeter, thermometer and a standard set of initial medicines. Drinking water was dispensed via water cans with pumps. They were also given a kettle for hot water.
However, those who quarantined here had to share their room with another person.
Also, there are no attached bathrooms, unlike Old Parijaat.
Faculty Quarters
The quarantine on entry to campus was usually 5 days, but the rules were inconsistent for international arrivals. International arrivals were supposed to be quarantined for 7 days, even though some of these students had taken domestic flights (they were international only when they filled the original form, which was a month before they landed).
As the authorities didn't know that they were international initially, they allotted them to the regular Faculty Quarters QIF. They were moved to the single-rooms in Parijaat a day later.
The duration of quarantine, apart from the above, was pretty consistent, but the enforcement was lacking, although staff followed all protocols. A few students did move to different rooms without others knowing, like in GH. In fact, these students were caught in the act, but my informant is not sure what the consequences were.
Students were not allowed to go out of the room. Deliveries could be given to the guard on the ground floor, and students could then collect them from him.
In contrast, this QIF has now been converted to a quarantine facility for COVID +ve people, where they share rooms with other people (like the PhD hostel).
There was a major flaw in the water facility with regards to COVID protocols: a lot of people had to touch the tap and use a common mug. Furthermore, the water supply consisted of a simple pumping device on top of a plastic can, and this setup rarely worked.
However, the rooms were big, really clean and had a lot of fresh air (contrasting with Parijaat).
A major issue was the lack of furniture. There were no bed frames, chairs or tables in these rooms. However, one plastic chair per apartment was provided later (although these were double-occupancy rooms).
Also, initially there was no Wi-Fi / LAN in the hostel (although LAN connection was provided after repeated requests by the students). Internet access seemed to be a major problem for people on the ground floor, where mobile data was poor.
At best, each apartment would get only one table. In the washrooms, there was no central heating although they were provided with curling irons to heat water. Every apartment had a kitchen-like area (a sink) and a long granite table. Food was provided by the Kadamb mess.
CTF/Rule-Making
CTF were quick to respond to the requests of people quarantined in FSQ, and to redirect them to the right people.
The college authorities were prepared with a list of students to be quarantined, and rooms weren't allotted on a first-come first-serve basis. Furthermore, the stationary seller was allowed to visit the hostel and sell LAN cables, pillows, etc.
Bakul QIF (Phase 1)
It was a 5-day isolation for all those who reached campus on their slot dates before 2pm, but extended by a day for the rest.
Movement here was decently restricted; they were allowed to go to the 2nd floor for getting food. Also, similar delivery rules applied here too: items were to be handed to the guard, and students would then collect them from him.
Most people in this QIF seemed to be UG3 ECE/ECD students and the number of students were much lesser compared to future slots.
They were all allotted single rooms (i.e. no roommate) and had decent amenities, including the LAN. Rooms were properly cleaned prior to arrival as they'd gone unused for a couple of years.
For a first, each student was given a set of 3 lock/keys for their respective rooms, a personal shower room & a personal toilet. They were all asked to lock them when not in use, to prevent public contact.
Each floor had just 8 students quarantining, which is quite low, but also the reason why personal washrooms were manageable.
Testing & CTF
They were tested on their 3rd day of quarantine, despite obviously staying in the QIF for 5 days. For example, the person I interviewed came to campus on the evening of 15th January and was tested on the 18th.
As the incubation period for COVID is mostly 5 days, testing might be ineffective if done before 5 days (As per WHO's 73rd situation report on COVID-19 1.
There were no glaring mistakes by the authorities, but this QIF got much worse in implementation later. The enforcement was lacking, and my informant could have a good quarantine because he chose to stay indoors at most times. There were cases of students going into each other's rooms yet again.
The student CTF members responded to urgent mails, DMs, etc.
But college seems to have underestimated the effect of calling just a few people initially, as in later phases it was impossible to have separate washrooms, etc because of the many more people being called in further slots/phases.
This phase, too, consisted of a 5 day quarantine on entry to campus. The rooms that were allotted to people were the same ones that they had previously occupied before COVID times.
After quarantine was over, some of them were asked to continue staying in their respective rooms.
A few people came on 22nd and others on 23rd, so their quarantine ended on 26th and 27th respectively. So what happened was that on 27th (which was the 5th day of quarantine for half of Bakul), the rest who had finished quarantine were allowed to leave the hostel freely.
It is notable that, although we have no evidence this happened, anyone could get out of the hostel anytime, since there was no system of identifying students whose quarantine period was over.
The hostel was mixed up and room allocation was inconsistent i.e. there were no such particular floors assigned to QIF and the rest.
Rooms were unclean due to ineffective cleaning, in contrast with phase 1.
Food was provided via a buffet in a separate floor, and not in food packets. However, it often used to come around 30 min late, and yet get over before endtime. Deliveries of groceries were allowed. Delivery of food packets was not allowed.
A noticeable flaw was that the guard was only on the ground floor, so people on other floors could just go into each others' rooms if nobody found out.
The student CTF were replying to queries/concerns during my informant's first quarantine, although they didn't have much power to make big decisions.
During my informant's second quarantine, the CTF weren't responding, and he was quarantined for 1-2 days, some other students for 3, or more even though they'd tested -ve.
It was suggested that college could have planned the intake of students much better by calling UG4 first, clearing their rooms after quarantine, then the same for UG3 & lastly UG2.
Instead what happened was the exact opposite, which was done hurriedly.
Phase 3 saw a few major improvements in handling.
Usually, quarantine lasted for 5 days for a student if they tested +ve. There was one such instance when around 40 false +ve cases were reported. Now this was something that surprised all, so the students requested re-tests and got them done for the whole QIF soon. After this, most of these cases turned out to be false +ves, and were all released in a few hours.
Further, after this quarantine period ended, they did not stay back in the same rooms. Movement was adequately restricted, i.e. between their rooms, a common bathroom & near the entrance for collecting food packets. Same as before, grocery deliveries from Swiggy Instamart, etc were allowed, but food deliveries weren't.
Also, another plus point was that 2 floors in this wing of Bakul Nivas were dedicated towards QIF, and that there was also a separate entrance to the QIF wing (in contrast with Phase 2).
Even the COVID norms were followed properly (both by the staff and most of the students). For example, I was informed that they talked to each other while wearing masks at their doors.
Similar to the Faculty Quarters, there was a flaw in the water pumps, which had a button that everyone had to press in order to fill in water. This was a cause of public contact and hence not ideal. Each room had only 1 student in quarantine (The roommate policy came later). Also, it had 2 desks, a bed and an almirah.
Student CTF members were fairly easy to contact, and responded to queries quickly.
Common to all QIFs, the main thing that seems to have a need for improvement is 'the channels of communication' between the students and the CTF/faculty.
There was even an instance where the definition of primary contact was different in an email they sent, compared to the PDF attached about the same.
It's almost impossible to predict the future in a pandemic like this, but it does seem that college was slightly unprepared for the large quantity of students they were bringing in, and to respond to challenges being faced by them. The contrast among the three phases of the Bakul QIF is an example.
When the third wave of COVID hit, there was a lot of confusion and panic on campus, with the college not responding with measures for 4-5 days & the student volunteers not doing a fast enough job. The mental health of quarantine residents, too, was not paid due attention.
Given all the information above, a lack of consistency among the rules for the QIFs is clear, and sometimes a lack of connection between the rule making bodies and the ground-level situation. The QIF rules of Bakul (Phase 3) were seen as constructive changes from the past, but there's always more to learn from.

During the process I'd noticed something else, I was using FileLocator to help me navigate through my source code. So, over the next few weekends I polished up the UI, gave it a more exciting name (which I know not everyone appreciates) and finally released it on the Internet (via ZDNet).
It turned out that I was not the only one that needed a fast, easy to use, search program. Agent Ransack was downloaded by thousands of people and over the years thousands more have downloaded it and its big brother FileLocator Pro.
Great, right? Yes, but with one small problem. As a company we know how we use the software, but we are increasingly aware you often use it differently. We are consistently bowled over by the myriad of ways the software is being used to resolve your problems; ways we never would have thought of, in industries we have little knowledge of.
So, as we finalize features for FileLocator Pro Version 8 release¹ (currently scheduled for September 2015) we are reminded that the best way of improving our products is to make sure we learn from you about how you use them.
If you have any ideas about how we can improve the product to make your life a little bit easier, then drop us a line. By explaining to us how FileLocator Pro and Agent Ransack work for you (and where they could do better) we'll know how to ease that niggle – and allow you to get on with what you do best.
¹ Any purchases of FileLocator Pro v7 made since Jan 2015 are guaranteed a free upgrade to v8.


What comes after the flood?
We're back curating the sixth edition of Grow Op at the Gladstone Hotel in April 18-22, 2018. In the upcoming exhibition, we contemplate AFTER THE FLOOD. What lies beyond once the floodwaters recede? What emerges once the smoke clears? As cataclysmic climate events multiply in tandem with our species' continuously expanding footprint, we are re-conceiving our relationships with the organic and inorganic world around us in unprecedented ways. The call for submissions closes September 30th.


Isaiah 25:9, In that day the people will proclaim, "This is our God. We trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, in whom we trusted. Let us rejoice in the salvation he brings!"
This text is part of a prophetic praise that followed prophetic declarations of God's judgments in the earth.
While the context belongs to a different time, I am encouraged by its words today. Since God is same yesterday, today, and forever, we are blessed to see His divine character in this prophetic text.
The message is clear: God can be trusted to save us in every way that we need saving. This is what we will proclaim on the day we settle it in our hearts that God is utterly faithful!


It's a bit of an unfortunate genre that Dido works in, this alt-pop trip- hop mishmash. She's a sensitive songbird set to mildly funky hip-hop beats. And it's a backhanded kind of compliment to suggest that she's one of the best there is at this particular brand of artistry.
Four years have elapsed since "No Angel," the Dido debut that introduced the song "Thank You" to an unlikely advocate, controversy magnet Eminem, who made the singer's docile voice the centerpiece of his 2001 hit "Stan." That success gave Dido a belated hit record.
Now that she has amassed a devoted following of her own, she's bound for more quiet success with this follow-up. But Dido's music is designed for sick days, not the long haul. With her brother, Rollo Armstrong, who co-produced, she tries a smidgen of disjointed Portishead-style sampling ("Who Makes You Feel"), but the majority of the songs are simple strummers set to programmed percussion.
"So paper thin that one real feeling could knock you down," is how she pleasantly dismisses an immature paramour on "See You When You're 40." It remains to be seen whether we'll be seeing much of Dido at 40.
The holy trinity of lounge singers looms larger than life now that they're actually dead. In recent years, the brief association of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., which lasted only as long as they could get along, has been celebrated in books, magazines and cable TV movies. Now the Rhino reissue specialists have put together a live audio CD/DVD package from those innocent long-ago years.
The CD was recorded live in 1962 during a six-night run at Villa Venice, a Chicago nightclub owned by mobster Sam Giancana, and the DVD comes from a 1965 closed-circuit broadcast from Keil Auditorium in St. Louis (with debonair Johnny Carson acting as host with perfect aplomb). Three years apart and the fellas are doing the same basic act -- drinking, joking around, interrupting each other. Sammy Davis acts like the underdog with something to prove, and Dean Martin can be pretty hilarious, although the drunken antics get old quickly. Sinatra is, well, Sinatra and, in front of the Count Basie band with Quincy Jones conducting, that's something indeed.
But the enduring appeal of the Rat Pack synergy is still mysterious. With all the fake bonhomie and the insults substituting for wit, this stuff wears pretty thin. Nevertheless, the trio generates a crackling electricity that remains a palpable part of their performance 40 years later.
Even a slight Merle Haggard album contains rewards. His latest, the first on his own label, may be about his hundredth album, but even after only slightly tipping the scales past the 30-minute mark, the record has some moments that will last the rest of his Country Music Hall of Fame career.
"That's the News" is Haggard's commentary on the Iraq war ("politicians do all the talking and soldiers pay the dues"), and he sounds somewhat skeptical about the president's foreign policy.
Haggard and Willie Nelson sing Woody Guthrie's "Philadelphia Lawyer," a song they both probably know from the version by the Maddox Brothers and Sister Rose. "Because of Your Eyes" is a sweetly wistful love song, and "Return to San Francisco" is a noteworthy addition to the lengthy list of San Francisco songs.
But it is the title track, "Haggard (Like Never Before)," a three-minute contemplation of the subject of growing older, that will stay with us. "Life ain't getting any easier," he writes in the liner notes. Haggard may be growing older, but he won't go quietly.
