Whitman's latest ad repeats the false claims that Jerry Brown raised taxes, that California lost jobs or that state employees gained excessive benefits. Whitman's ad offers no specifics and no support for those claims.
In fact, under Jerry Brown Californians saw their tax burden reduced by more than $16 Billion. He indexed the personal income tax, eliminated the business inventory tax and offered energy tax credits, as well as other tax-saving measures.
Under Brown, California created more than 1.9 million new jobs - including the job Meg Whitman moved to California to take in 1981.
And as Governor, Brown proposed limitations on pension benefits, and vetoed pay increases for state employees when he believed the state couldn't afford them.
"Meg Whitman should stop telling the same, sad lies and have a real conversation with Jerry Brown about the future of California," Glazer said. "The people of California deserve better."
Read the truth below or click here for PDF.
Male Announcer: Meg Whitman says she'll run California like her company.
Female Announcer: Seen this attack on Meg Whitman? Who are these people? They're the unions and special interests behind Jerry Brown. They want Jerry Brown because he won't rock the boat in Sacramento. He'll be the same as he ever was. High taxes. Lost jobs. Big pensions for state employees. The special interests have chosen their governor, how 'bout you?
TRUTH: TAX RELIEF UNDER BROWN TOTALED NEARLY $16 BILLION.


Josh Pyke's second single "Fed n Watered", from his debut EP "Memories & Dust", has a fast paced mockumentry theme to it with a demented twist. Its fundamental look is that of a collaged edit with vintage film qualities, dabbling in the imitation of a social scene.
It is a tongue-in-cheek clip that revels, in its own weirdness, Josh reinvented in a horse running a race. The cinematic wizardry is decidedly low-tech, the idea is not to create something remotely believable but instead funny while still being visually cool.

Henry (died 1024), of the House of Ardenne–Luxembourg, was the count of Luxembourg (as Henry I) from 998 and the duke of Bavaria (as Henry V) from 1004.  He was the son of Siegfried I of Luxembourg and Hedwige of Nordgau.

He was the advocate of the abbeys of Saint-Maximin of Trier and Saint-Willibrord of Echternach, hereditary titles within his family.

In 1004, at the Diet of Ratisbon, he received Bavaria from his brother-in-law, the Emperor Henry II, who was also the duke of Bavaria.  During a quarrel with the emperor concerning the archbishopric of Trier, the duchy was removed from him, but he was reinstated in 1017. He never married and his county passed to his nephew Henry and Bavaria returned to the emperor, then Conrad II, who bestowed it on his son, the later Emperor Henry III.

Idan "MagicaL" Vardanyan is out on leave due to an injury and the Ukrainian organization has enlisted the help of Yegor "Ark." Zhabotinsky in his absence.
Na'vi have announced that they will need to be playing with a stand-in for the entire event of the Maincast Autumn Brawl $80,000 online event. Idan "MagicaL" Vardanyan has sustained an injury to his hand, preventing him to be able to play and needing time to heal. In his stead, Yegor "Ark." Zhabotinsky will rise to the occasion for the Ukrainian team.
Ark. is a carry player typically but will be assuming the mid-lane role for the duration of the Autumn Brawl.
The hope is that MagicaL will recover in time to play in DreamLeague Season 10 Minor taking place starting October 29th in Sweden.
After putting the entire roster on inactive status following their failure to qualify for The International 2018, the organization has revamped the roster to include some current, former and new players. Among those, Danil "Dendi" Ishutin is not included which ends his tenure with the legendary organization after seven/eight years of playing under their banner. A week after the roster revamp was announced, Na'Vi finalized their lineup to include Evgenii "Chuvash" Makarov in the support role and Andrey "Mag" Chipenko as the coach.
Since then the team has shown a strong beginning and qualified for the first Minor of the season after missing out on The Kuala Lumpur Major.
Do you think Magical will be healed in time for the Minor?

Farooq Abdullah takes up Kashmiri students' safety with CMs of Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttrakhand
JAMMU: Jammu and Kashmir National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah on Monday took up the security related issues of the students and others from the Kashmir Valley with Chief Ministers of Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttrakhand, urging them to ensure their safety and well being.
Expressing concern over threats and intimidation to the Kashmiri students in various parts of the country, Dr Farooq Abdullah spoke on phone with Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amrinder Singh, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Uttrakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat and urged them to take appropriate measures for instilling sense of security among them.
"The students are in panic and fearing for their lives", Dr Abdullah told the Chief Ministers, adding that security is needed to be beefed up in the areas they are staying besides anti-social elements booked for their intimidating tactics.
The Chief Ministers of the three states shared the concern of Dr Farooq Abdullah and informed him about various steps taken in this regard. They assured him that all necessary measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of Kashmiri students.
Meanwhile, Dr Abdullah has again reiterated his appeal to the people of Jammu for maintaining their high traditions of secularism, amity and brotherhood. He stressed the need for isolating elements inimical to peace and inclusive character of Jammu by maintaining unity and tranquility.
"Foiling attempts of anti-social elements unitedly by the people belonging to various segments society is need of the hour", he said and hoped the sagacious people of Jammu will rise to the occasion and not play into the hands of those dividing the society.

Hozuki ichi is a market in which Chinese Lantern Plants are sold.
It is held on July 9 and 10 at Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa.
Especially July 10 is called "shiman rokusen nichi".
If you visit the temple on July 10, it corresponds that you have visited the temple for 46,000 days.
It means you can get benefits of 46,000 days!
Because of this, a lot of people visit Senso ji Temple and we have more than 200 street stalls selling Chinese lantern plants.


A write-up around 21st birthday cake ideas.
To put it differently, a plastic bag and a rather small cut during the tip of a single portion can get the task done perfectly with this function. This may help any air bubbles arrive at the top. You'll notice this may permit you creating flat streams of icing. Normally, to be able to find the ideal effect of the cake, you have to have a minimum of 3 layers. You will findn't any alcohols, irritants, chemicals, or fillers which are positioned in commercial products.


Why don't I read more graphic novels?! I've loved all the ones I've read, and I still don't read enough of them!
Anya's Ghost is a fun read about an angsty teenage girl named Anya who accidentally falls down a well on her way home from school, finds a skeleton in said well, and then befriends the ghost of said skeleton, Emily. At first Anya isn't too happy to have a ghost friend following her around, but when she learns that Emily can help her improve her miserable high school existence, she immediately listens to everything her new ghost friend suggests.
I adore Brosgol's art style. The characters are each individuals and different from one another, and their bodies and faces are so expressive in each and every panel. It was almost difficult to focus on the story of Anya's Ghost at times because I was so distracted by the artwork of the novel.
And then there's Anya. I loved her, I loved Siobhan, I loved Dima, I loved Elizabeth, I loved them all (okay, all except Sean) and I loved how they all came together and interacted with one another. Brosgol even challenges some of the typical tropes of YA novels by showing Elizabeth, who Anya hates because she's dating her crush Sean, isn't the typical mean girl expected in the genre. And Sean also isn't the hunky heart throb hero Anya imagines him to be. Even Anya isn't typical, instead of the nice, different, Mary Sue, heroine that is expected. She skips school, she smokes, she could be read as a "bad" kid from any other YA point of view.
Anya's Ghost is a great read and perfect for Fall and Halloween. While it wasn't as scary as I expected/wanted it to be, parts of it will still give you goosebumps.


Another disappointing weekend for most of us, so badly let down by Rose the Reliable and others.
Congratulations to four very lucky winners who tied with 33pts namely, Jamie, Nigel, Peter and Roger. Your winning envelopes, each containing £75, will be ready for collection from The Bar towards the end of the week. Fortunately no one had a full house (of missed cuts).
To add to the masochism felt by 96% of us, we have to go through this all again in just over 4 weeks. Yes its the next round of the CHALLENGE, the US PGA at Beth Page, Long Island, New York, 16th - 19th May. Your entries need to be in by noon on Thursday 16th May I will send out a likely list of players as known later this week, do keep an eye on field changes in the last few days before the start With so many punters paying up front I can predict that already the Overall Pot is over £270, only winnable if you enter all four rounds.


Chris Hamoen: iPad - forget Netbook killer...PC Killer?
As a Canadian, I hadn't spend much time with the iPad...until yesterday at a customer site. Very impressive. Programmer types may not like it because it's restrictive, but end users love it. Reading newspapers is an unbelievable experience...not to mention photos, video, browsing, etc.
And this is only the start for apps (not to mention OS4 and some major needed updates like multi-tasking).
60% of the people interviewed by NPD who purchased a netbook instead of a notebookthought their netbooks would have the same functionality as notebooks.
Netbooks (sometimes also called mini notebooks or ultraportables) are a branch of subnotebooks, a rapidly evolving category of small, lightweight, and inexpensive laptop computers suited for general computing and accessing Web-based applications; they are often marketed as "companion devices", i.e., to augment a user's other computer access.
Aside from the implied meaning of laptop (ie clam shell), it's hard to argue that the iPad is not a netbook.
Windows 7 is a wonderful operating system, but when coupled with a small screen and a veneer of touch capabilities, it is hardly a pleasant experience. In other words, even if the hardware was excellent, the user experience was destined to be lacking. That it died is merely indicative of larger problems, and not real cause for upset.
Well, as many others think, I tend to agree that this is because Apple come "up" rather than "down". Both Netbooks and Tablets suffered from trying to take the PC or laptop experience down to a tablet/netbook...rather than a smartphone experience up.
Sure, there are people who still believe in Netbooks - they have flash, a camera, USB ports and a full OS.
Let's go back to that customer discussion. A few who have bought an iPad (and have a high-end ultra-portable) are now ONLY taking the iPad on business trips. They don't use cloud-apps - but for presenting (ie PPT), reading email (web-based corporate email), news, and stock-tracking...there isn't any need for the laptop.
So yes, I wonder as well if the iPad is truly a game-changer and will ultimately affect the entire laptop market. As a traveller myself, I can see a BlackBerry and iPad as all I need.


Along with the interesting volcanic features in the Mammoth Lakes area there are several features generated by glaciers. Most of the lakes in the region were formed by glaciers, and the region contains many prominent moraines.
Looking west along June Lake Loop Road. This is a very popular hiking/fishing/camping area, and was a nice ~45min ride. There are several glacial lakes along this route.
June Lake with the eastern Sierras in the background.
Convict Lake, another glacial lake and popular fishing area. Named in 1871 for several escaped convicts, the story behind it in pretty interesting.
This shot was taken along US395, looking west into the Sierras. Note the green colored ridge running across the foreground. I would estimate it is pushing 100ft high. Also note that the ridge seems to be "granular" as opposed to the solid rock slopes behind it. The green coloration is grass growing on this huge pile of debris. This debris was deposited here by a glacier that once flowed down the background valley. In other words it is a moraine.
A shot of manmade Lake Crowley and the White Mountains in the background.
The story behind this lake, part of the California Water Wars, is very interesting. In a nutshell, the problems began in the early 1900's. At this time the city of Los Angeles was trying to secure a water source for its growing population. They ended up buying most of the water rights in the Owens Valley, many times by fraudulent means. This deprived the local farmers/ranchers of needed water. And since the representatives of the city had political connections in higher places (state and federal), the locals lost.
Another shot of Lake Crowley. Here we see some impressive storms over the White Mountains.

Finally the Christmas release for 2009 is here, and I'm very happy to welcome to Kahvi - Cell.
Continuing the relationship between Kahvi and Ultimae (probably the worlds best independent ambient electronica label) Kahvi presents a 5 track ep (playing time 47 minutes!) from Cell - a sampler of some of his most well known tracks from the Fahrenheit Project albums and an exclusive track from his new album 'Hanging Masses'.
For more information about 'Hanging Masses' read the info.txt file in the zip and check out the fantastic artwork that Ultimae provided for this release!
PLEASE NOTE: You must not use any of the tracks in this release for any purposes (other than streaming) without contacting Kahvi and asking permission first. Due to these being previous commercial releases on Ultimae, extra clearance needs to be granted.
Track of choice is the sublime Floating Retention, but every track is a masterpiece.
Merry Christmas from Kahvi Collective and see you in 2010!
Hi. May I please download these tracks? I do not plan to use them in any way besides personal use.
This track makes me smile.
Very nice and soulful music. I like every single piece.
Any chance to get a wallpaper-sized rendering of that cover artwork ?


Charter Advisors has had a chance to speak with the head of Charter Marketing for The Moorings, Ian Pedersen and get the exclusive inside look at what's in-store for The Moorings in 2016. We had a lot of questions. You see, The Moorings is the one major company we haven't yet reviewed. Yep, that's what I said, we haven't reviewed them. Why? No special reason in particular. First come first serve reviews are what they are, but in 2016 we're rectifying that with a very special review of one of The Moorings most special offerings. Lets just say the current "Biggest Bareboat Charter Yacht" is about to get a run for its money!
But first, lets get a few burning questions out of the way.
CA: The Moorings charter yachts seem to dominate the sailing and motor charter scene in the British Virgin Island's, what do you attribute this to? Why do so many people choose The Moorings?
IP: The Moorings was founded in the British Virgin Islands in 1969 with only 6 yachts in the fleet. Since then we have expanded to include over 200 yachts in the BVI alone. Our catamarans are custom-built for The Moorings charter fleet by renowned yacht manufacturers Robertson & Caine based in South Africa, and can't be found anywhere else. We offer unique, differentiated products: in addition to the standard monohull and catamaran sailing vessels, we offer custom built Power catamarans to accommodate avid boaters who may not know how to sail, and also boast an impressive fleet of all-inclusive crewed yachts complete with professional captain and gourmet chef. With this fleet, I can confidently say The Moorings offers something for everyone.
We pride ourselves on providing a superior charter experience beginning from the first phone call right up until the boat is returned to the marina, and I think the sheer number of charter guests we see year after year is a testament to that dedication. Roughly 60% of our guests in the BVI each year are return charterers, which is something we take great pride in.
CA: Speaking of your British Virgin Islands fleet, what are your top two bareboat charter monohulls and top two catamarans?
IP: In The Moorings fleet, the most popular monohulls are our new 51.4 monohull, a 4-cabin, 4-head vessel complete with generator and A/C, and the 45.3, a new 3-cabin 3-head vessel perfect for families or multiple couples. Our flagship catamaran is the Moorings 4800, a next-generation 4-cabin catamaran with en-suite heads. Finally, the Moorings 514 Power Catamaran has been extremely popular in the past year since it was first introduced to the fleet, as it provides all of the amenities of its sailing counterpart, the 4800, however it appeals to a wide audience of boaters who may not be familiar with sailing yet still want to experience the charter lifestyle.
CA: Moving on to your charter base in Tortola. What are you offering at your base for charter guests? For example, do you offer accommodations the night before the charter (for late day arrivals with a charter date starting the next morning)?
IP: Our Marina in Road Town, Tortola is a full-service resort and marina featuring upgraded hotel rooms, pool, beach volleyball court, poolside bar area, two restaurants, spa, boutiques, water-sports and electronics rental shops, as well as a fully-stocked provisioning store for all of your charter food and beverage needs. Once you arrive at the marina, there is no need to go anywhere else. For those wanting to get on board their boats right away, we offer an "Evening Start" option by which guests can sleep aboard their boat in the marina the night before their departure, allowing them to get situated that night after a long day of travel, and facilitating an easier departure from the marina the following morning.
CA: Our readers often ask if charter companies offer assistance leaving and returning to the slip. Does your company offer this service?
IP: Yes we do. Leaving and returning to the slip while on charter is often the most difficult part of the vacation. We offer valet services to make things that much easier both at the beginning and end of your charter. We also offer a complimentary "Friendly Skipper" for up to 4 hours prior to your departure. Through this program a Moorings skipper takes you through all of the motions of operating one of our yachts while on charter, to make sure you are fully confident before setting off on your own.
CA: New boats for 2016. What are the new additions and model updates for the new year?
IP: The Moorings has invested nearly $50million for the 2016 charter season, and as a result the global fleet features numerous new models in the sailing and power fleets. New monohulls include the 38.2, the 42.3, the aforementioned 45.3 and finally the 51.4. This essentially replaces the entire monohull fleet for The Moorings, providing a range of options from 2-to-4 cabin boats. We are also proud to introduce the Moorings 4000 Sailing Catamaran, a 3-cabin vessel including a large owner's suite utilizing the entire span of the starboard hull. The Power fleet is also welcoming a 3-cabin vessel called the Moorings 433PC. The interior layout is very similar to that of the 4000 sailing catamaran, however the Power cat offers the advantage of an expansive fly bridge for added living space on board.
CA: What is something you want people looking for a charter company to know about The Moorings?
IP: A springtime vacation in the British Virgin Islands is truly a life-changing experience. I enjoyed my family vacation with The Moorings so much that, fast-forward 5 years, I now work for the company. To me, that is the most important aspect of The Moorings - that everyone who works here is truly passionate about providing the best charter experience possible for our guests. And you will find that same passion anywhere you go from the BVI, to the Bahamas, Croatia or Tahiti. When you go on vacation, you want to feel confident that you are on the best boats, with the best support, in the greatest yachting destination in the world, and that is something The Moorings can certainly provide.
So there you have it folks, a world exclusive first interview with the head of The Moorings Charter Program. So when you're planning your spring sailing getaway, be sure not to overlook The Moorings. If you haven't sailed with them before, now may be the time. A fresh fleet, some of the most spacious and comfy yachts in the BVI, and a free day with a week's charter make a pretty good argument. As our regular readers know, we don't endorse or promote any particular charter company, but we can say this... This is the year we will be reviewing the Moorings Fleet. Like we said, the time is right.

Many small business owners are wondering why they fail to make money online even with their beautiful website design.
They have decent websites that look very attractive.
Lots of graphics. Lots of interesting content.
No doubt, the sites look pretty cool. In fact, these sites could win awards for best website design.
But can these sites sell?
Because it wasn't designed to. And yet website owners are wondering why they haven't earned money online – for either products or services they're offering.
Here's where direct response marketing integrated into your web design comes to the picture.
Not many know this. And that is why only a few are successful with their online ventures.
So here are a few tips you can use right away.
Make your website all about your prospects. Write your content and put in graphics with them in mind. Mention their pains, frustrations and needs. Show them you understand them. Show them you have the solutions to the problems they have now. Show them you are the better choice versus all others offering similar services to them.
Make an irresistible offer. How? Find out what your competitors are offering. Make yours twice, or thrice as attractive. You don't necessarily have to lower your price if others are offering very low prices or fees. Find another angle for you to stand out. Justify your price with the value you provide. A sound businessman will usually choose to do business with one who offers high value and charges higher, rather than one who offers a very low price but can't deliver results for his business.
Give a clear call to action. Here is where most websites fail. They put in a lot of content. Lots of great articles. But what should the readers do next? No, it's not a good idea to leave it to the readers to determine what to do next. What you must do is take them by the hand, and tell them what they should do next. These call-to-action phrases could be: a.) Call now and get a free consultation, b.) Leave your email address and get access to the members-only video training, c.) Just fill up the form and receive the e-course for free… and many more.
These are just a few of the direct response techniques you can employ when designing and developing your website. By following these techniques, you are most likely to increase your conversions and finally make more money than you previously had. So always put this to mind when doing your web design.


We were completely remodeling the house we had just purchased and decided to let the kids choose their own paint colors. Their dad was a little worried and I'll admit, with the number of paint color choices out there the outcome could have been horrible.
Well, our daughter decided she HAD to have pink. Of course, when you are 4, your world is nothing BUT pink!
I honestly did try to talk her out of it and maybe go with a light green or a pretty yellow, but when a 4 year old wants a pink room, she gets a pink room. Otherwise you will get a pouty lip from her for quite a while.
So I went all in and finally let her pick the pink. And boy was it pink! In an effort to turn down the bubble gum of it all, I only painted the top half of the walls and decided to keep the bottom mostly white.
Just to break up the solidness of the white, however, I hand-painted vines in a light green as an accent. It was inspired by the trim we found that had an ivy pattern in it.
She loves butterflies, so after finding the perfect quilt for her bed, I set out to give her room a sort of "garden-y" feeling. The flowers and butterflies on the bedding, coupled with the vines and butterflies on the wall, made it all come together perfectly! It all was very balanced with not too much of one thing.
After repairing a couple of spots in the drywall, I sanded and cleaned the surfaces prior to painting. I used Behr with the primer in it and it only took one coat to cover the already white walls.
I got the eggshell paint finish since it was for our child's room. It makes it easier to wipe off anything dirty little hands leave behind. It does show the imperfections of the walls, however.
All in all, the entire project took me a few days to complete. But it turned out great and best of all... she loved it!
Love the stencil work and the curtains!
You did a great job with this room, and made the wall color work. The way you decorated the room makes the color look very girly and not Pepto Bismo at all!
What's missing here is some framed artwork on the walls with wide white matting or white backgrounds. Other than that, the room is picture perfect... I give it 5 stars.
So cute and sweet. I love this. I wish I could have done this for our baby girl.
My son was not too happy about sharing one-half of the room with his sister's side painted all pink. Now even I feel yours was the better option and that would look good. Thank god, they are not here to see this now.

Typhoon in Philippines hits close to home for Louisville man
ORMOC, Philippines...
Typhoon in Philippines hits close to home for Louisville man ORMOC, Philippines... Check out this story on courier-journal.com: http://cjky.it/1dnYwVl
The Courier-Journal Published 9:55 p.m. ET Dec. 10, 2013
Bhel Murray talks to her two children, Brianna, 3, and three-month-old Jazmine, at her apartment in Ormoc.(Photo: Chris Kenning/The Courier-Journal)Buy Photo
ORMOC, Philippines -- The punishing heat was already building one morning this week as Bhel Murray piloted a tiny, rattling van through Ormoc on the way to her mother's village of Puerto Bello, dodging United Nations sport-utility vehicles, Australian military trucks and motorcycle taxis.
Along the roadside, wooden homes lay in piles of rubble. Telephone poles leaned and electric lines rested in tangled messes on the ground. A settlement of temporary shacks made of donated tarps and scraps had sprung up in one area. Generators rattled at outdoor cellphone charging stations. A long line of residents snaked around a Red Cross medical tent.
It's been four weeks since the most powerful typhoon ever to strike land destroyed homes, businesses, schools, crops, fishing boats, churches and hospitals in the Philippines, injuring 27,000 and killing almost 6,000 people.
Despite emergency aid that has brought food, water, tarps and medical care to Ormoc and elsewhere, the still-massive challenges of recovery remain painfully evident in this city of 190,000 on Leyte Island, where government officials say the Nov. 8 storm destroyed 62,000 homes, injured 4,000 and killed dozens.
"There's a lot of tarps on roofs, but it's still pretty devastated," said Thomas Jesser, an Australian army soldier working this week in Ormoc. "There's still a lot of assistance needed."
Bhel Murray — whose husband, Steven, lives in Louisville and is working to bring his wife and their two young children to the U.S. — is among those who are helping, and who need help.
After stopping at a gas station amid a cluster of motorbikes waiting for fuel, Bhel said she and her children have spent weeks sleeping in a dark, hot apartment, waking before dawn to get in line for aid or going to the grocery before it runs out of food.
She takes her phone every day to one of the charging stations that have sprung up in the storm's wake. It's a necessary expense that allows her to stay in contact with Steven. She shares her family's progress with him, including worries about night-time gunshots to ward off looters. "So scary," she posted recently on Facebook.
With money Steven sends, Bhel began taking rice to needy neighbors. She's driven injured residents to the hospital.
And over time, she said, things have improved as aid reaches more outlying areas. This week, she finally found a generator to power fans in her apartment.
She considers her family extremely lucky compared to neighbors, such as Henrietta Managbanag, 38, whose 8-year-old son Lorenzo was killed after he ran outside during the storm. Managbanag, who works at a nearby school, said the scale of the tragedy has been staggering.
"It's unprecedented, the magnitude," she said.
Terror after storm
As Typhoon Haiyan bore down on the Philippines in November, Steven Murray was glued to his computer and phone in Louisville, coordinating plans with Bhel, who was living in downtown Ormoc with their two children, Brianna, 3, and Jazmine, 3 months.
Worried a storm surge might flood their ground-floor apartment, they decided to place the children with Bhel's mother in Puerto Bello, about a half-hour drive from town. Bhel then returned to town, preparing to rescue belongings in case of flooding.
As the typhoon swept across Ormoc, Bhel told her husband that the winds were "so strong." Then phone and Internet contact was lost.
"I didn't hear from her. I'm sitting there freaking out for 24 hours," recalled Steven, who eventually would learn from a family member on Facebook that his family was safe.
Bhel, too, was terrified, not knowing what had happened to the children and her mother. When it seemed the storm had passed, a friend drove her by motorcycle to the village. Roads were strewn with trees and debris, she said, recalling a tractor-trailer truck flipped upside down and rows of shattered houses.
It took hours, but when she finally reached her mother's house, she broke down with relief. "I was crying very hard and hugging them, to see they were safe," she recalled.
Her mother had huddled with the children under a concrete sink, praying and crying as the super-storm's 195 mph winds snapped palm trees, tore out electric poles and shredded nearby homes.
"I thought it would be our last breath," said Bhel's mother, Norma Bartolabac, whose concrete home lost only its roof and windows.
Roofless, homeless
Many area homes still lack power; clean water is scarce in some outlying areas; and grocery shelves clear out quickly. Many of the homeless are staying with others or camping in damaged homes. Some rely on handouts for daily needs.
And with livelihoods evaporated and some already living on a few dollars a day, the prospects for quickly rebuilding homes are meager.
Grace Alima, a 46-year-old mother of two who is sleeping on pews in a half-destroyed church, said it's difficult to know how she'll move forward with her home in ruins and her family's corn crop lost.
"We want to rebuild, but there is no money," she said, standing near a makeshift shelter on which someone had written "help" to get the attention of passing aid groups.
Elsewhere, a handful of residents waited to fill water jugs from a groundwater pipe in the middle of a farm field, hoping they didn't get sick from contamination. Hospitals report an increase in cases of illnesses such as diarrhea, perhaps because of contaminated water.
And near one hillside denuded by the violent winds, staff at the recently reopened Curva Elementary School were ushering children into a giant, open-air, wood-and-tarp tent. The old school building was still damaged and roofless.
"Most of our children are homeless," principal Cristina Labor said. "Their families have lost everything."
Waiting in Louisville
Pecking at his computer keyboard back in his family's South End house in Louisville, Steven Murray, 29, shared photos of typhoon damage that his wife had sent.
Murray, who is saving money to travel to the Philippines next month, said his connection with the stricken nation began several years ago in another far-flung place: Afghanistan.
After graduating from Ballard High School in 2003, Murray worked construction and started his own contracting business that did well until the recession. By 2009, with work drying up, a sibling who was serving in Afghanistan with the Air Force encouraged him to apply to work as a civilian contractor there, he said.
Murray spent about two years in Kandahar starting in 2011, working jobs that included building living quarters out of 8-by-20-foot shipping containers. That's where he met Bhel, 28, who was working as a manager at a hotel, in part to send money to her large family in the Philippines.
They were married in 2012, and returned to Afghanistan. But earlier this year, with their second child on the way, Bhel moved to the Philippines for extra support from her family. Jazmine was born in September, and from Louisville, Murray has been working to get his business going again while applying to bring his wife and children to the U.S.
Murray, who is living with his father to help save money, divides his days between staying in touch with his distant family and working with his Murray Construction and Restoration. He said U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell's office was helping him fast-track the immigration application.
But for Murray, a reunion can't happen soon enough.
"It's so hard to be away right now with everything going on there and the holidays coming up," he said.
Faith in recovery
Norma Bartolabac's home is down a narrow road that leads away from the coast, and is lined with concrete-block and wood-and-thatch homes. Bordered by empty rice fields, this is where Bhel was born.
In a traditional Philippine open-air hut nearby, Bartolabac recently was getting a $1 manicure from neighbor Gelna Alipugo, who was trying to earn money to care for her five children.
Alipugo said they lived for three weeks after the typhoon in a single room at an evacuation center. They're now back home under a tarp, but without electricity, living on donated rice and sardines, and having water lines running only a couple of hours each day.
It was a similar story for one of Bhel's relatives, Nilda Toroctocon, 39, who said she survived part of the storm by clinging to a coconut tree. Her family's wood and bamboo house was smashed, and her husband lost his $2.50 a day farm job, so they're relying on handouts to feed seven children.
"I am worried about the future for my kids," she said.
Bhel said the residents here are resilient, and she has faith that the city will bounce back — as it did when flash flooding from a tropical storm in 1991 killed more than 5,000 people.
"In town they put up a sign in town that says 'roofless, homeless but not hopeless,' " she said. "We're strong. Every time we get knocked down, we get back up."

Great, you're on your way.
Now why not continue learning with more free tutorials?
OK, so you've established your online home, and now you're looking for ways to bring more customers to your virtual front door.
Let's discuss some great strategies to do just that using search engines, other websites, social media and email.
So let's talk about you, how are you going to get customers to find you online?
There are a few ways to do it using digital.
Let's start with search engines. When people type something in a search engine, they're letting it know exactly what they are looking for.
If you offer relevant services and products, search engines will show your business in the search results.
Now, there are two main ways you can use search engines, and we've got lots of info to share on both.
The first is search engine optimisation, or SEO , which helps you promote your business in the unpaid search results.
The second is search engine marketing, or SEM , which lets you buy ad space in the search results.
SEO is all about getting your site in front of the right people who are searching for your products and services.
Now, there are lots of ways to do this, we'll explain them in detail later on, but the key is knowing what words people actually type in - the keywords. They are the most relevant words to your business.
Understanding these will help you improve how you show up when these words are searched.
SEM , on the other hand, is when businesses pay to advertise to people searching for specific keywords online.
Most major search engines use an auction system, where lots of different businesses compete to show their ads by bidding on the keywords they'd like to target.
Search is a great way to reach people, but we do lots more on the Internet. We read news, check sports scores, browse recipes, watch videos and generally browse lots and lots of interesting content across the web.
Alongside all of this content you might see ads. This is called display advertising.
Display ads appear everywhere online, and come in many formats like text, images, video, and ads you can click on and interact with.
They can be a great way to get your message out there and you're able to choose the people you want to see your ads, and the websites and pages you'd like them to appear on.
Social media sites - like Facebook, Twitter or Google+ - give another option for boosting awareness of your business, and they're especially useful for building relationships with customers.
On most networks you'll create pages or profiles for your business. You can then connect with lots of people by starting meaningful conversations and sharing content you've created whilst growing your business' online social life.
Before we wrap this up, let's not forget one more pretty important way businesses can use digital: email marketing.
We're not talking about junk email, or "spam" that clutters up your inbox, but sending relevant information and offers to people who have already said they'd like to hear from you.
You can get people to sign up, or "opt in" to receive emails from you. Then the rest is up to you. You can send coupons to people who have made an appointment on your site, advertise special events, or promote sale items.
Knowing all the ways you can find people online—and knowing how they can find you—can help launch your business big-time.
The more types of digital marketing you try, the more opportunities you'll have to reach your most valuable customers, wherever they happen to be in the digital world.
Software that can be used to automatically manage a search campaign, often to pre-set rules.
The video version of a blog, where updates are new videos rather than written posts.
A measure from 1 to 10 of how relevant your ads and landing pages are to the keywords you're bidding on. Improving your Quality Score can help you achieve better ad positions and lower prices for clicks.
The process of using email messages to share information and promote products and services.
Creating online content such as blogs, videos or infographics to attract and engage a defined audience.
The page being linked to from another page. E.g. "If you click the link to "Gallery," you'll see a destination page chock full of images of our fruits and vegetables.
The sale of products and services online.
A regularly updated website with posts written by an individual or a business, typically in a conversational style and focused on a specific subject.
A calculation an advertiser uses to try to identify if their online marketing campaigns are profitable. One common formula used for calculating ROI is the following: return on investment = (gain from investment – cost of investment) / cost of investment. E.g. "The sales driven by our display advertising campaigns have demonstrated positive ROI this quarter".
Computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment with which you can interact using equipment such as headsets, sensors or joysticks.

"The idea is quite simple. What one thing could you do for 15 minutes each day that would have the biggest impact on how you feel about yourself and your life? I will use this challenge to motivate myself to declutter however as an example, you could exercise, catch up on ironing, work on a life goal (such as writing or researching a topic), have dinner together with your family, read to your child, read the bible, pray, practice visualizations or meditate. It really can be anything. You just need to find something that you are currently not doing that bothers you."
I have chosen to my children for 15 minutes per day. I've read to all five of them since before they were born, but life has intervened. Due to the busy-ness of homeschooling 5 children the only reading I do is educational. I have been wanting to start reading to them for pleasure for some time. This is just the kick in the pants I need.
Hi Wendy, I love that you have chosen to read for your kids for this challenge. It's something I was thinking I need to add to my day. I still read to my son but like you said, to often life gets in the way. Anyway let me know when you update your progress.

Ellipsis is the non-expression of 1 or extra sentence parts whose which means may be reconstructed both from the context or from a person's wisdom of the area. In speech and writing, ellipsis is pervasive, contributing in quite a few how you can the economic climate, velocity, and magnificence of verbal exchange. Resolving ellipsis is a very tough factor in normal language processing, on the grounds that not just needs to which means be gleaned from lacking components however the incontrovertible fact that anything significant is lacking has to be detected within the first place.
Marjorie McShane provides a complete conception of ellipsis that helps the formal, cross-linguistic description of elliptical phenomena taking into consideration many of the components that impact using ellipsis. a strategy is advised for making a parameter area describing and treating ellipsis in any language. Such "ellipsis profiles" of languages will serve quite a lot of sensible purposes, together with yet now not constrained to traditional language processing. unlike past paintings, this concept focuses not just on what can, in precept, be elided yet in what situations a given class really could or wouldn't be elided--that is, what renders ellipsis essential or infelicitous.
A conception of ellipsis has been elusive simply because to supply an enough account of this ubiquitous phenomenon one must handle and combine information from a wide selection of linguistic learn parts. utilizing facts essentially from Russian, English, and varnish, McShane seems on the significant photo of ellipsis, integrating the syntactic, semantic, morphological, and pragmatic heuristics and bridges paintings on ellipsis with the bigger learn of reference. this can be groundbreaking linguistic scholarship that bridges the theoretical and the utilized, and should curiosity students within the fields of computational, descriptive, and theoretical linguistics.
This booklet studies interdisciplinary paintings at the psychological processing of syntax and morphology. It makes a speciality of the elemental questions on the centre of this examine, for instance no matter if language processing proceeds in a serial or a parallel demeanour; which components of the mind aid the processing of syntactic and morphological details; no matter if there are neurophysiological correlates of language processing; and the measure to which neurolinguistic findings on syntactic and morphological processing are in line with theoretical conceptions of syntax and morphology.
Case stories of person language rookies are a worthwhile technique of illustrating concerns attached with studying, utilizing, and sometimes, wasting one other language. but, even if expanding numbers of graduate scholars and students behavior learn utilizing case stories or combine quantitative and qualitative tools, there aren't any committed utilized linguistics examine equipment texts that consultant one during the case research approach.

The Hydro-Stop is a protective device that is used to ensure that the LRMs are protected against any moisture that may enter the LRM from test volumes due to negative pressures or bad blow downs.
This manifold allows for the quick filling of large volumes. This stainless steel manifold incorporates 1" and 1/2" pipe, welded fittings and ¼ turn ball valves. This device allows for quick pressurization, testing as well as quick depressurization as shown below.
Just screw a check nozzle into the test port of the 9623-07 and set the monitor pressure to the test pressure labeled on the Nozzle Check. The 9623-07's Nozzle Check Screen will tell you if the measured flow rate is within tolerance to the expected flow rate labeled on the Check Nozzle. All nozzles are 1/4" or 3/8 " NPT and made from stainless steel. Each Check Nozzle comes with a NIST traceable certificate of calibration.
The quickest and most accurate way to leakage rate test a large volume, (such as airlocks) is using the pressure decay method. Graftel's temperature sensor sensor Model 9202 can be used with high accuracy pressure transmitter to performing pressure decay tests on LRMs.
The LRM pressure decay screen reads pressure and temperature data from the 9202 and displays the leakage rate, air pressure and temperature.
Max inlet pressure is 150 psig and the regulating range 0 to 125 psig.
This regulator can flow up to 1000 scfh, (approx 500 slm) at 100 psig.

Supreme Court: Suspects must invoke right to remain silent in interrogations
Thread starter aps

Political Leaning
Has someone posted about this new ruling?
Here is where the liberal judges on the Court and I disagree. I totally support the ruling in this case, which was decided by the righties and Anthony Kennedy. Sotomayor is apparently furious about it. Sorry, toots.
Criminal suspects should speak up if they want to preserve their right to remain silent, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday. Conservative justices ruled for police in the latest test of the court's famous Miranda rule and shifted the burden to suspects to invoke their right to refuse questioning.
The court ruled 5 to 4 that a Michigan defendant who incriminated himself in a fatal shooting by saying one word after nearly three hours of questioning had given up his right to silence, and that the statement could be used against him at trial.
"Where the prosecution shows that a Miranda warning was given and that it was understood by the accused, an accused's uncoerced statement establishes an implied waiver of the right to remain silent," Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the majority.
Those who disagree with the ruling, can you tell me why it's a bad decision? This defendant voluntarily said something in response to a question.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this decision, coming from THIS law enforcers perspective.
This decision clarifies the question of the admissibility of testimony when someone decides that they do not want to verbally or non-verbally invoke or waive their rights.
It also closes a loophole so that it cannot be used in future defense to get an admittedly guilty person off of a crime. We don't need more criminals getting off on BS technicalities.
Kudos to the Supreme Court.

I'm confused. Okay, so you're TOLD that you 'have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you'. And the suspect SAYS something. This ruling just confirms that it can be used against them? Just seems redundant, or am I missing something?

I don't see this ruling as a problem either. There doesn't seem to be much of a burden placed on an individual to say "I wish to remain silent." Also it gets it out in the open and reduces the necessity of judgment calls which should make the process easier for everyone involved.
rivrrat said:
I need to read the dissent to see what Sotomayor says, but I think that once a defendant invokes his Miranda rights, it used to be that the police must stop asking questions period. In this case, they asked him a question after he invoked his right to remain silent. I agree--that's HIS problem that he chose to speak!
Caine said:
I always like hearing/reading people's thoughts whose work implicate the holdings in a particular Supreme Court case. The thought that this guy could have gotten off just because he answered a question is disgusting, IMO. Tough luck, dude (the defendant).
aps said:
As I read it, He failed to either invoke nor waive his right when given the opportunity to do so. He literally remained silent, even to the question of whether he wanted to waive or invoke his rights. Without a clear signal of what he wished to do, Detectives continued to talk to him and ask him questions which he ignored, just as he did the opportunity to invoke or waive his rights.
Had he stated he did not wish to speak to Detectives without an attorney, or that he did not wish to speak to Detectives period, then the "questioning" would have ceased. Instead he did neither. He, in a sense, just looked at the Detectives like they had a dick growing out of their forehead.
All this does is make it necessary for someone to actually give a response so that we may carry on with the next item on the list of **** to do. Breaking "silence" to invoke or waive rights is NOT self incriminating.
Personally, I disagree with the Miranda warning in general. Its not a police officer's responsibility to give suspects a civics lesson, and nowhere in the constitution does it state so. However, the Supreme Court is "Supreme" and created this requirement, void any constitutional requirement for us to do so, so it must be done.
As far As I can See, Sotomayor's dissent is just whining about semantics, Boo hoo, They have to break their silence to inform a Detective they wish to remain silent. Sounds like a judge who loves loopholes if you ask me.

This ruling is just obnoxious. If a suspect refuses to speak a word after being advised of their right to remain silent, its clear that they are invoking the right. Its a catch 22 if you have to speak to invoke your right, but speaking automatically waives your right. While its not a huge issue, I don't like the government playing tricks to get around constitutional protections.
rathi said:
Stating that You wish to waive your right to self incrimination is not self incrimination. Thus it does not violate the constitution.
I find people who come to the conclusion that speaking up to invoke your right to remain silent about the charges pending against you as unconstituional to be obnoxious.
I don't like people playing tricks to waste time and be a douche just for the sake of being a douche, Just ****ing say you don't want to talk and stop wasting time, don't stare at someone like they have a dick growing out of their forehead.

You don't waive your right to remain silent by speaking once, or twice, or ten times, as you can assert the right at any point in the process. If a cop asks you your name and you answer, that doesn't mean that you then are forced to answer his questions about a murder. You can just say "I don't want to answer any more questions" or "I want to talk to a lawyer" or just sit there silently.
In the case at hand, the cops brought a guy in for questioning. They read him his rights and then started asking him questions. He ignored most of the questions, but answered others. Eventually, he answered a question in a way that incriminated him. He argued that by virtue of the fact that he remained mostly silent, that was the same thing as asserting his right to silence. I think that's an incredibly strained reading, as he very clearly did not stay silent, instead answering questions sporadically.
One of the best comments I've seen on the decision:
Justice Sotomayor criticized the majority for going further than needed to decide the case before it. True, but it is kind of odd to make that criticism in a Miranda case, as Miranda itself is the exemplar of going further than necessary to decide the case.

We don't need more criminals getting off on BS technicalities.
We also don't need the civil liberties and civil rights of people infringed either.
samsmart said:
I'm not the biggest fan of our justice system, but I have a hard time seeing how this will really infringe on the civil liberties of anyone. This is the first time the court has had occasion to address this particular issue in the 45 years since Miranda, and only a perfect storm of circumstances would actually lead to a different result post-Berghuis than pre-.
RightinNYC said:
In this particular case, I agree with you. However, I was more addressing the poster's comment on how the Supreme Court should rule to help criminals get off on technicalities. I find this somewhat dangerous for defendants. This is especially the case when the Supreme Court has made rulings such as criminals do not have a Constitutional right to access DNA evidence to appeal their conviction, despite prosecutors using it to go after people who committed crimes years before the technology was available.
Libertarian - Left
This is a fair assessment. In this particular case, I think the SCOTUS ruling is fine. You are informed of your right to keep silent, and if you don't than anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. So just don't say anything. Maybe at most "I'm invoking my right to stay silent". But in general, you are also correct that we shouldn't let our overzealous nature of wanting to jail the "bad guys" overcome our sense and sensibility when it comes to upholding our individual rights and liberties.
Nothing is being infringed upon.
Responding to a specific non incriminating question on whether you wish to invoke your right to remain silent/attorney present instead of looking at someone like they have a dick growing out of their forehead is not infringing upon civil liberties.
The topic is this decision on Miranda, not anything else. Don't intentionally misconstrue my argument in an effort to disagree with me just to disagree with me.
THIS (note Im talking about THIS Miranda decision) is an example of the Superme court making a decision to clairfy the Supreme court's own creation of Miranda warning. Anyone who was let go because they incriminated themselves after responding to questions when they never made it clear whether they wanted to waive nor invoke their right and then decided to answer a question IS an example of a BS technicality, which our legal system is full of.

Supreme Court Narrows Miranda Rights, Keeps Michigan Convict in Prison
Supreme Court narrows Miranda rights, keeps Michigan convict in prison | detnews.com | The Detroit News
A Michigan man will continue serving a life sentence for murder after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled today that he gave up his rights against self-incrimination because he did not explicitly tell police he wanted to remain silent after his arrest.
The 5-4 decision overturns a ruling by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals and reinstates Van Chester Thompkins' conviction for a Jan. 10, 2000, murder in Southfield.
Detroit attorney Elizabeth Jacobs, who argued the case for Thompkins, 33, in front of the Supreme Court in March, said the ruling is "very disappointing." The court is "diminishing Miranda rights as we know them," Jacobs said.
So this man is arrested and read his Miranda rights. He didn't answer any questions deeper than "Is your chair hard" for more than two hours, clearly using his right to remain silent. Then after two hours of grilling, he answers a question. It seems to me that he was clearly trying to invoke his Miranda rights, and gave up after the police refused to stop questioning him. Nowhere in the Miranda rights does it say "You must specifically declare you are using your right to remain silent." This ruling undermines our basic rights.

He did not actually confess. He got caught with a "trick" question:
But he later answered "yes" when one of the officers asked him if he prayed for forgiveness for "shooting that boy down."
First point: I don't feel bad for the guy at all. He is almost 100 % certainly guilty. The issue to me is not whether justice is served in his particular case, but whether the ruling itself is right. Short answer...I am torn, I can see both sides. You are told anything you say can be used against you, but as the little of the dissent mentioned in the article says, having to speak to say you wish to remain silent is counter intuitive.
Right. And I totally agree that they shouldn't do that. Police procedures should be clarified on the subject.
But he was guilty and he told them he was guilty. He waived his right to silence by speaking to them.
I would say that they refused him his right to be silent by continuing to question him when he was clearing exercising it.

He wasn't tricked. He was asked if he prayed about killing the boy and he said yes. That isn't a trick.

"I will believe it when I see it." We have all heard that one before, haven't we? But do you know that conflicts with the Bible?
The Lord Jesus obviously loved Thomas, yet Jesus clearly rebuked him because of his unbelief. And when we disbelieve what is written in the scriptures, we are acting just like Thomas. God still loves us, but our unbelief does not please Him. I don't see where Jesus disowned Thomas, yet you see in verse 29 to whom His blessing goes. That serves to teach me that I'd better believe every word of the Bible and live by it, if I want God's blessing upon my life.
Many have told me, "I tried that faith stuff, and it didn't work for me." Well actually it DID work exactly as Jesus said it would, for the scriptures cannot be broken. Read verse 23 a few times then examine your heart. Whatsoever that mountain is in YOUR life WILL move, IF you shall not doubt in your heart, and IF you believe that what you say against that mountain will come to pass. Maybe that mountain is cancer. Maybe it is financial problems. Whatsoever that mountain is, Jesus said it WILL move IF you follow His directions. He said you will have whatsoever you say.
Are you speaking TO the problem, or ABOUT the problem? You know what I mean….One day you're telling your lack of finances (for example) to be gone, and you believe in your heart that God does not want you broke, but you're calling all your prayer partners and saying to them, "I'm so broke I can't pay attention"? Well guess what? You believe in your heart you're broke, you're saying it with your words, and you're getting EXACTLY what you believe and say, just like the Lord Jesus said you would. And you're saying to me," I tried that stuff and it didn't work"? Yes it DID work! Only you believed wrong and spoke wrong! Believe and speak according to Mark 11:23, and keep watch over your heart and mouth, knowing you WILL reap accordingly.
When do you believe? go back and read verse 24….notice the word "believe" is before "receive", which means you believe FIRST, then you receive. So simple, yet we insist upon saying, "I'll believe it when I see it". And we wonder why God isn't pleased? We're acting just like Thomas did when the disciples said they saw the risen Jesus, and he replied, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
You can have what you say, or you can keep having what you have kept saying, the choice is yours. As for me, I'm taking seriously what the Lord Jesus said. All He told us is for our good, and if we're wise, we will use it, not only so we can live a better life, but also for the purpose of our being in position to help and instruct others. Remember: Believe now, receive now. It's not "I'll believe it when I see it." God really DOES have a better way for us. Why? Because He loves us so very much, so much in fact, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. When do you believe that? After you see His face in the judgment? No, NOW, so He will be pleased to see you! AND…so YOU will be pleased to see HIM when the time comes.
Thank you for the reminder to watch our words.
I believe and I received.


IFTN caught up with Niamh Heery and Caroline Kealy, last year's Science on Screen award recipient, to find out more about their filmmaking experience ahead of the 2019 Science on Screen Information Day, which takes place this Friday April 5th.
The Science on Screen initiative, which is currently accepting submissions for 2019, offers documentary filmmakers a chance to create a €35,000 26-minute documentary on the topic of PPI.
PPI refers to Public and Patient Involvement, in which people who are likely to be affected by new treatments or programmes developed through research, are directly involved in planning and shaping decisions about the research. The documentary is funded by the Health Research Board's Knowledge Exchange And Dissemination Scheme 2018 awarded to the HRB Primary Care Clinical Trials Network Ireland and supported by CÚRAM.
Directed by Niamh Heery and produced by Caroline Kealy of Swansong Films, 'A Tiny Spark' examines the effect of cerebrovascular illness and stroke on people's lives and specifically looks at research into the blood clots that cause stroke.
With a mixture of dramatic first-person accounts and beautiful animation sequences by Eric Dolan highlighting the functions of the various parts of the brain, A Tiny Spark is a film about science's ability to affect real change for human life. A Tiny Spark focuses on stroke and cerebrovascular research being led by Neuroscientist, Dr. Karen Doyle from CÚRAM and Galway Neuroscience Centre in NUI Galway, which involves analysis of removed blood clots to see what information they may yield.
The Science on Screen Info Day for filmmakers will be held on Friday, April 5th in CÚRAM, NUI Galway.
IFTN journalist Nathan Griffin caught up with Niamh and Caroline to find out more about their experience working with the initiative.
IFTN: How and why did you decide to apply for the Science on Screen funding initiative?
IFTN: Your documentary 'A Tiny Spark' is centred on ground-breaking Stroke Research being carried out in Ireland. Do you think film is an effective medium to educate the populous about important scientific issues?
IFTN: Do you feel the use of film has enhanced awareness of the research being carried out and if so, why?
IFTN: Do you imagine the partnership crafted between medical research and film could benefit other areas of science and if so, where?
