Page and Screen: The Trailer for A Dangerous Method shows the pitfalls and pluses of adapting non-fiction
As cinemagoers and telly watchers we are used to accomplished adaptations of fictions born on the page. Whether it's the BBC's latest Jane Austen costume drama or blockbusters like the Harry Potter series, we consume creations transformed from the page to the screen all the time. We are also accustomed to the fictionalisation and cinematic imaginings of happenings from history, with one of film's latest trends being the increasing use of exciting events from the recent past. The likes of The Social Network and 127 Hours brought books about modern, real lives to the big screen.
But we are less used to films based on academic and extensively researched works of non-fiction. There is of course the occasional box office hit based on a lucky scholar's lengthy biography or surprisingly successful history. However it's rare for such books to be huge hits in print via Amazon, Waterstones or WH Smith, let alone dominate in theatres. It normally takes a strong following of the book to persuade producers that the appetite is there for a lucrative movie. Or a particularly juicy subject matter, ripe for controversial or intriguing expansion and exploration.
In the case of A Most Dangerous Method by John Kerr there is certainly the potential for controversy. His book, released in the early 1990s and based on new evidence, charts the relationship between commonly recognised pioneers of psychoanalysis, Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, which is controversial enough in itself. But its way into the world of intellectual competition and mental instability is the papers of Sabina Spielrein. She was a Russian patient of Jung's, taken to a clinic in Zurich in 1904 at the age of 18. Her habits included "ill concealed masturbation". And she and Jung had an affair.
As if that were not a sufficiently saucy and shocking cocktail, the nature of the affair remains scandalous even now. Jung was trying to drive forward a new profession and ensure its respect as a science and as a medical treatment. And yet he had an affair with one of his patients. An affair directly linked to his treatment and his probing of her condition. She was beaten as a child by her father and this sexually excited her. It doesn't take much to imagine what she and Jung got up to. Sadomasochism enters the mix.
An official trailer for A Dangerous Method, David Cronenberg's adaptation of Christopher Hampton's play, The Talking Cure (which was based on Kerr's original novel), is now online. You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ7JKmcLTsI&feature=player_embedded
It stars Cronenberg's usual partner in crime Viggo Mortensen as Freud, Michael Fassbender as Jung and Keira Knightley as Spielrein. Disappointingly for fans of Cronenberg and Mortensen's previous collaborations, the story appears to focus on Jung, with Freud relegated to a secondary figure. The weight of the narrative therefore falls on rising star Fassbender, who also stars in a new Jane Eyre adaptation out later this year, and his chemistry with Knightley. Disappointingly for fans of history and good storytelling, Knightley's role, from the trailer at least, appears to be that of kinky sex slave.
Even the slightest research into Kerr's original work uncovers just how fascinating a story, a true story, he set out to tell. Spielrein was treated by Jung and she had some kind of sexual affair with him, although it may never have been consummated. She went onto graduate as a doctor and pursued her own career in psychoanalysis, playing a key role in bringing its breakthroughs back to Russia. She was treated by Freud but always remained attached to Jung.
Not only did Kerr tell this remarkable story with "verve devices" of storytelling and "scholarly precisions", according a 1994 review in The Independent, but his book had a serious point. Aside from being part of a tantalising love triangle complicated by genius and a battle for the soul of a groundbreaking science, Sabina Spielrein sheds light on who was the more influential man; Jung or Freud. Kerr argues that Freud's thinking was of its time and not revolutionary. In any case many of Freud's and Jung's ideas are recognised as plain wrong and outdated today but if one was more important in laying the true foundations of psychoanalysis, Kerr argues it was Jung. He helped create Freud's reputation and was the "engine" of the profession's growth.
Of course this is just Kerr's opinion but it is backed by thorough research and is genuinely interesting. The trailer for A Dangerous Method focused on psychoanalysis for its first 40 seconds, before throwing Knightley into the mix as over the top, loony eye candy for Fassbender to drool over. The dialogue, from Fassbender, Knightley and Vincent Cassel, becomes shamelessly erotic; "never repress anything"/"I want you to punish me"/" why should we put so much effort into suppressing our most basic natural instincts". Surely Cronenberg hasn't wasted his time on soft porn with period detail?
Probably not. It's probably just the marketing approach of the trailer. And there are positives and great potential to be found within its brief runtime. The focus on Jung suggests that the general intellectual thrust of Kerr's book, that Jung was more instrumental than Freud, will remain (although Mortensen does seem to be portrayed as an infrequent but superior wise figure). Cronenberg is hardly known for costumed drama and after the hard hitting History of Violence and Eastern Promises, we can expect something knew from him in this genre. There is also little wrong with well acted desire and I'm sure the full performances won't disappoint.
The fact remains though that those behind the trailer for A Dangerous Method are following that age old principle of advertising; sex sells. The prospect of charismatic and fit X-Men star Fassbender having forbidden romps with a kinky and crazy Keira Knightley will interest millions, whilst Jung's professional friendship and battles with Freud will lure considerably less. There is nothing wrong with humanising great figures from the past; it's what great stories do and it can bring fact to life. But there is something wrong with completely destroying the intentions of a source born of one writer's hard work. Even if the final film tells Sabina Spielrein's full story and is truer to Kerr's revisionist study, it will have sold some sensational half truths to tempt people to see it.

Paul Merton's Birth of Hollywood proves that the likes of Transformers: Dark of the Moon won't save 3D
Last night I watched the last in the series of Paul Merton's Birth of Hollywood on BBC 2. I actually watched it on TV! You can watch it here on iPlayer:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b011vmsd/Paul_Mertons_Birth_of_Hollywood_Episode_3/
I really enjoyed it and will be trying to see the first two episodes somehow. This episode chronicled the death of silent cinema, which Merton shows to be at the height of its creative powers when the technology for talkies arrived. Silent films starred ingenious performers, and were shot in inventive, imaginative and inspiring ways. They could afford to make classic escapism for the masses as well as experimental pictures, which also more often than not turned into hits by capturing the public's lust for the cinema in new ways.
Talkies, Merton argues, brought the quality and the standards crashing back to basic levels. Yes audiences could hear the tinny voices of their beloved stars but they lost much of the magic of cinema when it was silent. They lost the live musical performances accompanying the pictures in theatres. They lost the moving camera angles, zooming in and out to visually dazzle and excite. They lost the cults of intoxicating mystery that grew up around actors, as soon as they heard their ordinary or often foreign accented voices. Instead there was wooden dialogue in front of static cameras. Imaginations were stifled and limited.
It's impossible not to compare the arrival of the talkies with that of 3D films in the 21st century. In my view it's obvious that the shift is not so dramatic. Sound is a far bigger leap forward than three dimensions. This seems an odd thing to say; when in theory 3D should mean the action literally happening in front of you. But we know the reality of 3D is mostly gimmicky after seeing the offers of studios in cinemas.
This might suggest that greater efforts are needed to improve the technology, so it's truly as transformative an experience as listening to sound for the first time in a movie theatre. However Merton's documentary focuses on the ability of good storytellers to adapt. Irving Thalberg, who died in his 30s, was the extraordinary man at the centre of last night's episode.
A German immigrant, Thalberg grew up in New York, after being born with a weak heart. He spent long periods of his childhood mollycoddled and stuck in bed through illness. During this time he read classic literature, plays and autobiographies. And followed the fortunes of the film business.
Then he got his big break and headed to Hollywood as a secretary to the head of Universal Studios. He was unexpectedly promoted to Head of Production, because of the qualities he showed his employer, where he established a reputation in his early twenties, before moving to MGM in the same role. His influence transformed MGM's studios into a vast dream factory with all manner of storytelling resources on site. He handpicked films for suitable directors, mixing traditional stories with bolder projects. He ensured that before release all his films were screened to members of the public, which led to scenes being re-shot frequently. A modest man, his name never appeared on any posters.
Thalberg's MGM was at the top of its game when talkies arrived, courtesy of rivals Warner Brothers. But before his death Thalberg oversaw a successful transition to sound, with that same focus on good storytelling. As a producer he called the shots, made decisions in the company's financial interests, but never compromised a good story.
3D audiences have been declining and champions of the technology pin their hopes on Michael Bay's third Transformers movie, Dark of the Moon. In press previews the 3D is said to be cutting edge, mind blowing and the best yet. But as this Guardian writer, Ben Child, points out, Bay's films are so loud and bombastic that they simply become tedious. And the only real hope for 3D is that someone, a great individual of Thalberg's ilk, can steer a truly great and inventive film project to fruition. One that makes the best of 3D's unique assets but one that, above all, tells an unbelievably good story.

The Adjustment Bureau
Chance and fate are like twin sisters; biologically related but far from identical. They are concepts we all know and experience day after day. Yet their effects fluctuate so wildly that no human being can define, prove or explain what exactly they are, or indeed confirm their existence with any certainty. The best, most brilliant minds throughout history have focused their attention on these beguiling, fascinating, unknowable sisters at some point. Everybody, from genius to crack addict, ponders the cruelties of chance, the favours of fate.
Was it chance that brought the girl of your dreams out onto the street in front of you? Was it just bad luck that you were spitting out your gum at the time, so that she walked head on into a potent projectile of sugared saliva and masticated goo? Or were you doomed to failure? Manipulative Miss Fate may have singled you out as her joke of the day. Then again, perhaps she was just redressing the balance after she took out the lights in the bar that time. Your powers of attraction increased tenfold in near darkness, allowing you to raise your standards considerably. That girl, let's say Linda, barely noticed the peculiar crook of your nose, for instance, or the irrepressible leering tint to your eyes. But then again maybe there's no balance at all, no order. Maybe it's just Miss Chance, a bored, daydreaming secretary at her desk, absentmindedly jabbing at her keyboard.
Often the only way we can begin to explore or talk about these sisters is through storytelling. And George Nolfi's first feature film as a director, The Adjustment Bureau, is fairly explicitly about the human relationship between our free will, each and every choice that we make, and our fate, the possible destiny that may be already determined for us, laid out beyond our control. The Adjustment Bureau is also a film that can claim to be a "sci-fi romantic thriller"; a distinctive and intriguing description of any story.
Indeed ever since I saw the trailer for The Adjustment Bureau I have been anticipating a thoroughly different blockbuster. Several of Phillip K. Dick's stories have been taken on and adapted by Hollywood, and several more such as The Man in the High Castle (an alternative history of the Cold War), would make excellent movies. Dick had a knack for capturing fascinating science based or philosophical questions, within a captivating narrative framework that really made you think about the issue. Apparently Nolfi has expanded considerably on Dick's short story, Adjustment Team, for this project, and that may account for some of its failings.
Numerous reviews have pointed out the plot holes in The Adjustment Bureau and lamented its implausibility. For a film marketing itself as exciting, the lack of engaging thrills has also been highlighted. It's certainly something that requires a greater than usual suspension of disbelief to really enjoy it. However, critics have also been quick and correct to heap praise upon the performances of the two leads.
In interviews Emily Blunt and Matt Damon have talked of how they "dicked around" on set and tried to transfer some of this interaction, this genuine banter, to the screen. It's a technique that worked tremendously well. Much of Nolfi's dialogue in this film is good, but inevitably when trying to encompass such grand themes and deal with an issue like love at first sight, the odd passage is clunky, cliché and cheesy. These bad moments have the potential to seriously deflate the quality of a film. But Damon and Blunt's brilliance ensures that these dances with disaster become strengths. Whenever an emotional speech is about to over step the mark, one of the characters, usually Blunt's, makes a jokey remark to both lighten the tone and preserve the intensity of what went before. With such sensational plot components Blunt and Damon's incredible, immense believability and appeal makes the romantic element of the story feel constantly real and affecting.
Damon in particular is excellent as the focus of the tale and adds another impressive notch to his CV. He appears to have truly arrived as a top Hollywood leading man. Here he plays up and coming senator David Norris, who concedes a mammoth lead in the polls thanks to some revelations about his wild shenanigans in the past. It was a step too far for voters, who had been willing to back the fresh faced, young and local candidate. Damon is completely convincing as a politician passionate for change but disillusioned with the system he must embrace to achieve it.
Underneath it all, Norris just wants company and affection, and this Damon portrays well too. In the Gents after his election defeat, he bumps into Elise, a contemporary ballet dancer. After an odd (but believable!) first meeting, Norris is as infected with the chemistry between them as the audience is. He abandons his conservative losing speech in favour of a frank, electrifying exposure of behind the scenes campaigning and the nature of politics as a whole. His popularity sky rockets (one of the film's multitude of interesting ideas and points is how the public wants honesty in politics but good men are continually stifled from being themselves).
However when Norris tries to pursue his instant infatuation with Elise, he's warned off by mysterious looking types in 1950s style period suits, wearing silly hats. This is The Adjustment Bureau; the people that make things happen according to plan. They are not all powerful, as they appear to be governed by their own set of rules and frequently require greater levels of "authorisation", but they can flit about New York City by teleporting through doors and predict the choices you make. John Slattery, Anthony Mackie and Terrence Stamp, all give decent performances as agents of this supernatural organisation.
The dated look of the agents has come in for considerable criticism; but I rather liked it. Whilst the film could be more thrilling, it's refreshing to watch a blockbuster that's still exciting and engaging without being stunt heavy. The focus is not on the action but on the plot and the romance between Elise and David. As for the plot holes, especially increasingly silly ones towards the end, these are probably due to the fact that The Adjustment Bureau is ideas heavy. Sure some of these musings on such debated subjects as the limitations of free will, determinism, God, chance and love are far from subtle. But to me that doesn't matter, especially given the convincing chemistry at the heart of the film driving it forward as the narrative focus. It's extremely admirable, valid and bold to make a mainstream film about any of these ideas at all. The Adjustment Bureau will get you thinking and talking about them, and hopefully exploring these fascinating areas further.
Besides, in my opinion, not all of the film's ideas are as flat and basic as some reviews would have you think. The corporation like structure of The Adjustment Bureau for example (with God referred to as The Chairman), made an extremely relevant point about the limitations of our free will today, in supposedly completely liberated western societies. We no longer realistically worry ourselves with tyrants and dictators, but money, class and big business can substantially shape our paths through life and the hold the powerful keys to turning points in our destiny.
I applaud the abundance of ideas in The Adjustment Bureau then, even if it could have been a better film. Because of all the talking points and its compelling romance, it is still a good and worthwhile watch. Perhaps the most resonant, but also cliché, point that it makes though, and chooses to conclude with, is that love is worth fighting for. Whatever uncontrollable obstacles life throws in the way, be it distance/geography, illness/injury or rivals/opponents, love can be enough and worth holding on to. No matter what.
Oh god. Did I actually just type that? Shoot me now. Yes their performances really are that good.

Ben & Jerry's pumpkin cheesecake ice-cream is coming, because fall is the best
I am wearing leggings and a long blouse-dress thing right now. Why does that matter to you? Because it's fall, you guys! And you know what that means… PUMPKIN EVERYTHING. Every year, companies roll out new autumn-inspired flavored goodies and treats — we've already heard about the new M&M fall flavors, pumpkin spice Peeps, and pumpkin spice Wheaties. And now, Ben & Jerry's is joining the pumpkin spice bandwagon by bringing back their beloved pumpkin cheesecake ice-cream.
Made with REAL pumpkin, the ice-cream is the stuff of a fall cheesecake lover's dream —complete with a graham cracker swirl. And nothing makes me happier than the phrase, "graham cracker swirl." According to its website, Ben & Jerry's has been selling out of Pumpkin Cheesecake since 2007 when our world was first blessed with the delicious seasonal flavor.
We can thank Eric Fredette, "Ben & Jerry's Flavor Guru," according to Refinery29, for the innovative and delicious flavor. He describes it so perfectly, claiming that "The Pumpkin Cheesecake flavor is a perfect comfort food. It's like a warm blanket on a cool autumn day, with falling leaves and the crisp smell of fall." Sounds like perfection to us.
This isn't the first time Ben & Jerry's has rocked our freezer. The ice-cream company is known for its epic flavors, especially flavors that contribute to important causes. Like "Save Our Swirled," the ice-cream flavor that fought for climate control. Or when Ben & Jerry's re-named their cookie dough flavor to "I Dough, I Dough" to celebrate the Supreme Court's ruling on gay marriage this year. Keep the awesome flavors coming, Ben & Jerry's!
Though we do not have an official release date yet, we can confirm that YES, we have drooled on our keyboard.

The American car industry looks like its heading into trouble. Ford is allegedly planning layoff 12 percent of its workforce, in and outside the USA, as a response to the $1 billion slump in the year's profit. General Motors will also cut jobs in the United States and Canada to trim costs. This is on top of recent severance packages offered by the car giant.
Mary T. Barra, G.M.'s chief executive of the company said in a conference call: "We are taking this action now while the company and the economy are strong to keep ahead of changing market conditions." This is a rather polite way to say that it is getting harder to sell cars.
Other car makers, Fiat and Chrysler, are also feeling the heat. When you consider that this industry employs about a million people, any slump is going to have serious consequences for the American economy and society.
At present, the demand for petrol guzzlers is high and low for more efficient alternatives in the US. This is helped along by low fuel prices. Over time, the effects have been to turn the industry away from properly investing in change and to put it out of kilter with he global trend, which is towards smaller, more efficient vehicles and new technologies.
Compounding the problem, is developing trade war against China and Europe. The American car industry is dependent on both the import of raw materials and parts and the export of cars to overseas markets.
Some of Ford's cars are manufactured in China, and ongoing tariffs on Chinese exports could put a question mark on the ongoing viability of continuing to do this.
General Motors' cuts are driven by the same causes. The Trump tariffs have already caused this company to slash its profit outlook for the year.
making of cars and keeping them on the road.
This is a significant political problem for Donald Trump. One of his core election promises, and important to building his support base was to save car industry jobs, it to turn the industry around. But he is failing to deliver in a spectacular way. Unless this is turned around, there is going to be a backlash.
As important is that trade war, intended to hurt America's rivals in the global economy, also hurts powerful American business interests. The reality is that aside from making cars, there is not a great deal of manufacturing left in the United States. Much of the productive capacity has been shipped overseas, especially at the high-tech end. Much of it to China, which has benefited from access to the associated technological knowledge, built a massive export industry and expanded its economy to challenge American supremacy. Many American corporations are now firmly embedded in this arrangement and no longer have the capacity to do otherwise.
Cutting Chinese exports to the United States, cuts business for American corporations. Imposition of tariffs on major trading partners risks raising the ire of these corporations, something that Donald Trump and Washington as a whole are very vulnerable to. It is a double edged sword that can easily cut the wielder.
Tariffs also invite retaliation from the target. China is already moving with its own counter tariffs. It is not only China. Tariffs have also been used in an attempt to break down barriers to American products and investment in the European market. Europe is responding with its own measures. This scenario is making it increasingly attractive to put together alternative trading arrangements that may leave the United states out of the loop.
If this happens, the American car industry is likely to be one of its major victims, suffering much greater damage than has already been the case.
The Trump era policy is really free trade for everyone else, while building protection for American corporations, and they are increasingly being used as weapon for political pressure. While this has always been part of the package, this is becoming more pronounced in the new era.
In the real world, the United States is no longer the unchallenged super power that can do whatever it likes. It no longer holds overwhelming economic, political and military dominance . The world is changing with the rise of the East and the challenge in Europe.
Marching towards crisis, easily leads to a transition from diplomatic squabbles to a shooting war. This is the ultimate danger. The cost of a global conflagration is too horrific to contemplate.
The world needs new systems to regulate global trade and international diplomacy, which respect all nations, recognise that all depend on each other, and encourages all to act together for mutual benefit, without there being a single dominant power. This is the path towards saving our collective future.
The first step towards this goal, is for the world to put an end to the present round of punitive tariffs and to insist that differences be resolved by diplomatic means.

Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) researchers, led by Dr Sandra Nicholson and Dr Nicholas Huntington, together with colleagues from the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR), are investigating ways to 'switch on' our Natural Killer (NK) cells to fight cancer.
The researchers identified a protein 'brake' within Natural Killer cells that controls their ability to destroy their target tumour cells.
"Natural Killer cells exist to detect and then destroy any deviant cells in our bodies before those cells go on to develop into tumours or before infection spreads," Dr Nicholson said.
"Natural Killer cells are a key part of our immune system they work by locating other cells posing a danger to health either because they are infected or because they are becoming a cancer cell," she continued.
Our bodies are constantly and successfully fighting off the development of cells that lead to tumours – but when there is disruption to this process cancer is free to develop.
In their paper published in Nature Immunology, they showed that when the brake was removed in an experimental model, the NK cells were better able to protect the body against metastatic melanoma.
Natural Killer cells rely on a growth factor called Interleukin 15 (IL15) to activate. Dr Nicholson and Dr Huntington's research has shown that an inhibitor protein made inside the Natural Killer cells limits the ability of the NK cell to respond to IL15 and therefore kill cancer cells.
By identifying for the first time how this protein inhibits NK cell responses, they now hope that a drug can be developed that will improve the response of NK cells to this growth factor and help patients fight cancer with their own immune system.
"This is about learning how to activate the NK cells of the individual patient and boost their immune system to tackle the disease," Dr Huntington said.
The Australian Cancer Research Foundation has supported WEHI by providing three grants, totalling AUD 5.5million towards cutting edge cancer research equipment and technology.
The original news post including the YouTube video was published on WEHI website.

Medicine X is all about reimagining medicine, and this morning's speakers had fabulously sensory imaginations. One of them -- Monika Wittig, co-lead of MedXMakers -- thinks with her hands. And she helps others do so too at the conference's Makers Tent, where 3D print guns and origami encourage tactile exploration.
As an architect, Wittig is attuned to space. She asked the audience to consider the kinds of spaces that encourage creativity, that provide room to make something profound. For her, spaces that encourage tactile play also encourage creative thought. She sees making and designing as two sides of the same coin. When you put things in people's hands, they respond differently than they do to words; they engage in "rigorous play" and develop new kinds of dexterity, she said. Origami patterns show up in stent design, and a new splint is inspired by a modernist chair's curves.
Gesturing to a beautiful photo of an old tree's rhizomatic root system, Wittig said that interconnections are the essence of creativity. These connections can be between design and use, and between hands-on and abstract, as well as between disciplines. She works with a psychiatrist who understands her architectural ideas better than her architect collaborators, she said, because he is attuned to how people feel in spaces. She wondered: What if doctors and patients could "co-author" hospital buildings with architects and builders?
MedX artist in residence Yoko Sen, an ambient electronic musician and "sound alchemist," meanwhile, is struck by how distressing the hospital soundscape can be -- and she's imagining it otherwise. Sen is the founder of Sen Sound, which aims to "alleviate suffering through transforming sound design in hospitals." She played the audience a track of beeps, buzzes, alarms, and mumbled voices; other hospital sounds include patients screaming, and the empty silence after bad news is delivered. "Patients and their families suffer from noise pollution," Sen's website reads. "Clinicians suffer from alarm fatigue, a major safety hazard. Hospitals, as systems, suffer from disease-centered design." But what is human-centered sound design?
Sen considered the idea that hearing is our last sense to go when we die. She started asking people about the last sound they would want to hear, and her inquiry became the Sound Will Project. In her talk, she said that environment, experience, and emotion are linked and asked the audience,"What sound makes you feel safe?" Quoting Florence Nightingale from 1859, she also pointed out that "unnecessary noise is the cruelest absence of care."
The speakers at Medicine X have been putting humanity at the center of medical care. And Sen's words are a good reminder for all: "Our senses are what makes us human."


Little Kevin McCallister is Wrestling?
Macaulay Culkin has come a long way since he was adorable kid left home alone over Christmas. This week, he showed that he can still take down thugs bigger than him -- and one who isn't. The former child star -- who is now 37 years old and stands all of 5' 7" -- made his (sort of) professional wrestling debut in a small auditorium and used some of his old Home Alone tactics to dominate the match. "Keep the change, you filthy animals."


M.D Rog Nidaan- Rognidan-is the foundation of all the clinical subjects. The subject helps you to understand in depth the disease (Vyadhi-vidnyanam) & its pathogenesis (Samprapti Vidnyanam), the art & science of the clinical examination methods (Aatur or Rugna Parikshan Vidhi); the signs & symptoms or clinical features of the disease, the required investigations (Vyadhi pariksha vidhi) & the interpretation of their results as well. The subject deals with not only the diagnosis but also the prognosis (Sadhya-sadhyatwa) of any disease. Thus it renders the student to understand the philosophy as well as practicality of vyadhi-vidnyanam.All these topics are taught according to Ayurvedic as well as modern aspect.


Shocking figures show the death toll from accidents on Lincolnshire's roads currently stands at 28 for this year.
That is already up around 30 per cent on 2015's figures with 20 deaths recorded over the same period.
Figures from Lincolnshire Police show that six of these were in the Grantham area, three in the Boston area, four in Sleaford and three in Horncastle.
The figures increased from three to four in Market Rasen at the time of writing this article when 71-year-old Vera Tranter died in a collision with a van in Mill Road on September 1.
While the majority of these crashes are still being investigated and family liaison officers are working to help the bereaved come to terms with their losses, efforts are continually being made to improve safety on our roads.
We spoke to Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership to discuss what can be done to help keep us safe.
The partnership also listens to public recommendations and feedback from local councils to see what can be done to prevent incidents.
With the children back at school and for many this being the first time they have had to make their own way to school, drivers are being urged to be extra vigilant.
Mr Siddle reminds people to plan their journeys, keep a good distance from the car in front and not to speed if you are late.
"It's better to apologise for being late than never arrive at all," he added.
Another safety measure being looked at by the partnership is the requirement for cyclists to wear helmets and adequate clothing for people riding scooters and motorcycles.
"While it is compulsory in Australia and New Zealand to wear a helmet on a cycle it is still not something that is compulsory here. We did a campaign a little while ago which we called the melon drop which can be found on You Tube.
The partnership runs regular driver training courses which are open to anyone who would like to refresh their skills.
While the dangers of drinking and driving, speeding and not wearing seatbelts are well documented, a re-occurring issue still seen is the number of people using mobile phones behind the wheel.
A Boston-based firm is hoping its new technology called ICED will help combat the problem. Ubitrac, based in Gilbert Drive, showed how the Immobilise Communication Engagement Device can 'freeze' a driver's phone when their speed is greater than 7mph.
The total number of road fatalities on Lincolnshire roads from January 1 this year to date are: Grantham area 6 Sleaford 4 Market Rasen 4 Horncastle 3 Boston area 3 Lincoln 2 Bourne/Market Deeping 2 Alford 1 Spalding area 1 Gainsborough 1 Theddlethorpe 1.

Q: why background:url('') not working in IE6? I've used url() in my project, but it is not showing the picture in IE 6? does IE6 not support url()? How should I solve the problem?
The code is as below:

A: Use background-image:

Also note that you had an extra ) at the end.
Also make sure that this is actually a problem with the background image. What happens if you set the background color? Do you see it then? It could be a layout problem that it causing it to not appear.

A: The entire tag looks wrong. I would do something like this:

I would also check that the path is correct.
-- Edit --
After testing, I've noticed that a path like './avatar.jpg' will never work. It's looking for a folder entitled . in the same directory as the file you've written the style in. Do you have a folder named .? I don't think so. It's an illegal directory name.


and Tabitha did a beautiful job on this ATC.
with their ATCs snuggled inside.
Oh, my, I love Tabitha's ATC and your little treat bags, Kimberly! It's always SO MUCH FUN swapping (or buying) from you - you have the most creative packaging and such lovely items!


Week 2 offtake totaled 1.26 million tonnes as compared to 1.93 million tonnes in 2017 and 1.88 million tonnes in 2017. To date, week 3 offtake is 374,240 tonnes versus 1.63 million in 2018 and 1.68 million in 2017.
Not only are total offtake volumes down, but so far this year every vessel except three have originated from Brazil. The Brazilian port of Itaqui in the Northern Arc plus southern ports of Paranagua, Rio Grande and Sao Francisco do Sul have all loaded vessels to China. Out of the 4.68 million tonne offtake by China in the first three weeks of 2018, 3.62 million tonnes were of US origin. We have seen only one vessel originating from the US offload to China at this point in 2019.
There has been talk that China has bought up to 5 million tonnes of US soybeans in the last month as trade negotiations take place. This has a nice ring to it, but in our view, these are goodwill purchases for Chinese state-owned storage and nothing more. These trades in no way portray real demand within the country, which has clearly diminished due to African Swine Fever, the trade war and an overall slowdown in economic growth. In addition, global grain and feed ingredient loading to start 2019 is down substantially from 2018 and 2017.
The soybean market added about 80 cents per bushel from mid-September 2018 to mid-December 2018. With favorable weather conditions in Argentina, fair conditions in Brazil and increased soybean loadouts expected in Brazil by February and March, futures markets will have a difficult time sustaining upside momentum from here given the backdrop of weaker Chinese demand.

Wednesday 22 May 2019 / 12:31 PM Jeremy Corbyn
Jeremy Corbyn response to Theresa May's Brexit statement
*** CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY ***
Jeremy Corbyn MP, Leader of the Labour Party, responding to Theresa May's Brexit statement in the House, said:
I thank the Prime Minister for an advance copy of this statement.
In fact, I received it yesterday when the Prime Minister made an appeal titled "Seeking Common Ground in Parliament". And where did she make this appeal? Not in Parliament but in a small room just down the road.
Mr Speaker, it is now clear the bold new deal the Prime Minister promised is little more than a repackaged version of her three times-rejected deal.
The rhetoric may have changed but the deal has not.
I thank the Prime Minister for her letter. It offers no change on a customs union, no change on Single Market alignment and no dynamic alignment on environmental protections.
This Government is too weak and too divided to get this country out of the mess they have created.
For over two years the Prime Minister bullishly refused to consult the public or Parliament. She did not seek a compromise until after she had missed her own deadline to leave. And by the time she finally did she had lost the authority to deliver.
That became evident during the six weeks of cross-party talks that ended last week – talks that were entered into constructively on both sides to see if a compromise was possible.
But while those talks were going on Cabinet minister after Cabinet minister made statements undermining what their colleagues in the room were offering. The Foreign Secretary, Leader of the House, International Trade Secretary, and Treasury Chief Secretary all made clear they would not tolerate a deal which included a customs union, while Tory leadership contender after Tory leadership contender took it in turns to make it absolutely clear that any compromise deal would not be honoured.
Therefore, Mr Speaker, no matter what the prime Minister offers it is clear no compromise would survive the upcoming Tory leadership contest.
The multiple leaks reported from Cabinet yesterday show the Prime Minister couldn't even get the compromise deal she wanted through her own Cabinet.
And it is clear that the shrunken offer that emerged satisfied no one, not her own backbenchers, not the DUP and, Mr Speaker, not the Official Opposition either.
No Labour MP can vote for a deal on the promise of a Prime Minister who only has days left in her job.
Even if the Prime Minister could honour her promises, the deal she is putting before us doesn't represent a genuine compromise.
Her 10 point plan is riddled with contradiction and wishful thinking.
Firstly, the Prime Minister pretends she is delivering something new with a temporary customs union.
This isn't a compromise – it's just accepting the reality.
Under the withdrawal agreement, we will already be in a temporary customs union through the transition period – which can last up to 4 years.
And if not we will enter the backstop – which in effect keeps us in a customs union too, without any say.
Secondly, why would this House legislate for a plan which is has already been comprehensively rejected by the EU?
The Government wants to align with the EU on goods to keep frictionless trade, while at the same time wants to pursue trade deals which would undermine this.
It's simply not compatible.
The technology they need to continue to pursue their Chequers plan doesn't exist, has already been ruled out by the EU as illegal, impractical and an invitation to fraud.
And Mr Speaker, the Government has failed to provide any economic analysis to show this would make us better off.
Why would the House support such a chaotic, desperate approach?
Labour set out a sensible compromise plan over a year ago, including a comprehensive and permanent customs union with the EU that gives us a say. That would allow us to strike trade deals as part of the world's biggest trading bloc bringing investment while maintaining the highest standards.
It is credible and achievable and the best way to protect industry, manufacturing and jobs something this Government is woefully indifferent to as the latest steel crisis shows.
The Government must be prepared to step in and take a public stake to save thousands of high skilled jobs at British Steel a foundation industry for any major economy.
Instead, the Tory obsession is for striking trade deals with the likes of Donald Trump. They prioritise chlorinated chicken, further NHS privatisation and deregulation over protecting supply chains and jobs in this country.
On workers' rights, Mr Speaker, we have yet to see the full package the Government intends to bring forward.
But many in the Trade union movement remain deeply sceptical. As Francis O'Grady of the TUC said yesterday and I quote: "This reheated Brexit deal won't protect people's jobs and rights".
On environmental protection, it is clear the Prime Minister is not offering dynamic alignment and that under her proposals the UK could fall behind in a number of areas, with only a toothless regulator under the control of the Environment Secretary in place of binding international commitments.
Finally, Mr Speaker, on the issue of a confirmatory vote, I'm sure nobody here will be fooled by what the Prime minister is offering.
Will the Prime Minister tell us now if this offer is genuine. Will she give her party a free vote on this issue or will she as before whip against a confirmatory referendum?
If the Government truly believes this is the best deal for the economy and for jobs, they should not fear putting it back to the people.
Mr Speaker, for too long, our politics has been seen through a prism of leave or remain. This is dividing our society and poisoning our democracy.
It means vital issues are being neglected by Government the crisis in our schools and hospitals the housing crisis and the cruelty of their social security policy.
Our country needs leadership to bring us together.
However, this Prime Minister is not the person to do this.
Throughout the last 3 years, she has made no attempt to unite the country.
She has been focused only on keeping her divided party together. It hasn't worked.
And now her time has now run out.
She no longer has the authority to offer a compromise and cannot deliver.
That is why it is time for a general election to break the Brexit deadlock and give the country a say.
The Prime Minister's authority is shot and her time is up – Ian Lavery
John McDonnell responds to news that inflation has increased to 2.1%

2009 PG 1h 30m Blu-ray / DVD
When inventor Flint Lockwood creates a machine that makes clouds rain food -- enabling the down-and-out citizens of Chewandswallow to feed themselves -- the falling chow reaches gargantuan proportions, and Flint must scramble to avert disaster.

PG - Some material may not be suitable for children. Parents urged to give parental guidance. May contain some material parents might not like for their young children.
Common Sense rating OK for kids 6+
Parents need to know that this adaptation of the classic children's book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is bound to attract the 10-and-under set. While there's nothing overtly age-inappropriate in the movie, expect a bit of salty language along the lines of "hell" and and the occasional mild insult like "stupid" or "knuckle scrapers." The few tense/slightly scary scenes are weather- and giant food-related -- which could upset little kids who are sensitive to fears about natural disasters -- and there's a brewing romance between the main character and a weather reporter. Although no grand life lessons are offered, the movie does center on a son's need for fatherly encouragement and the idea that you shouldn't compromise who you are just to be popular. The movie's plot is very different than the book's, so those expecting a straight adaptation may be disappointed.
Sam and Flint flirt with each other on several occasions, and in one sequence it's clear that Flint is "pursuing" Sam to be his girlfriend. After almost kissing a couple of times, they finally do kiss.
A hurricane of food threatens to destroy Chew and Swallow, as well as other major cities around the world. Characters are in danger/peril due to enormous falling food -- and other food mutations (including somewhat creepy headless chickens). The "rat birds" are humorously creepy and pop up again and again -- in one case, a rat bird snatches up the "world's biggest sardine."
Mild insults and language include "hell hole," "knuckle scrapers," "crazy jerk," "stupid," etc.
Kids may take away positive ideas about being liked for who you really are and not having to change your appearance just to be cool. There's also a recurring theme about parents needing to have faith in their children, as well as negative consequences for unchecked greed.

According to reports, four men held residents at gunpoint, including a 3-year-old, during a home invasion at a Georgia trailer park on Sunday.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, Randall Austin Hazelrigs, 20, is charged with home invasion, armed robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and marijuana possession in connection with the incident. Deputies also arrested Alex Hunter Jordan, 18, Ashton Rodricous Blackmon, 19, and Joseph Edwin Barrera, 19, who were each charged with one count of armed robbery and one count of home invasion.
According to reports, the men told investigators the robbery started because they wanted to get back at two people who they believed were responsible for a burglary. But things got out of hand when one of them pulled out a gun.
Witnesses told authorities that four men entered the home wearing black bandanas. Six people were reportedly in the trailer at the time, including the toddler. Yarbrough said Hazelrigs held them at gunpoint and demanded money and phones.
According to reports the men left with roughly $400 in cash.
"The suspects wanted to scare two of the men who lived in the home, but said the incident escalated when Hazelrigs pulled out a gun," Investigator Brandon Thrower said.
All four are currently being held without bond.

Der Rötenbach, auch Großer Kohlgrabenbach genannt, ist ein 4,3 Kilometer langer, linker Zufluss der Eyach im Zollernalbkreis.

Geographie

Verlauf
Der Rötenbach entspringt auf etwa  im Waldgebiet Kohlgraben nördlich von Erlaheim, einem Teilort von Geislingen im baden-württembergischen Zollernalbkreis. Von dort fließt er in einer tief eingeschnittenen, bewaldeten Klinge Richtung Nordosten nach Haigerloch-Owingen, wo er von links auf etwa  in die Eyach mündet.

Auf seinem 4,3 km langen Weg hat der Rötenbach also ein Gefälle von über 139 Höhenmetern bzw. von 32 ‰.

Einzugsgebiet
Das Einzugsgebiet umfasst ca. 3,5 km² und rechnet naturräumlich größtenteils zum Kleinen Heuberg, einem Teil des Südwestlichen Albvorlandes, der kleine mündungsnahe Teil in der Eyach-Stufenrandbucht dagegen zum Unterraum Eyach-Gäuplatten der Oberen Gäue. Der mit etwa  höchste Punkt darin liegt am Westrand auf dem Rötenberg.

Reihum grenzt es an die Einzugsgebiete folgender Nachbargewässer:
 Das Gebiet im Westen entwässert zum Hauser Talbach, einem größeren Zufluss der Stunzach, die abwärts des Rötenbachs ebenfalls in die Eyach mündet;
 im Nordwesten fließt ein kleinerer Bach direkt zur Stunzach;
 im Norden läuft ein unbeständiger Graben wenig unterhalb zur Eyach;
 im Südwesten zieht der Mittelsbach wenig weiter aufwärts zur Eyach, der
 im Süden über seinen linken Zufluss Wolfsbach konkurriert.

2006 George Britton
Beginning in 1969, George Britton spent two years rebuilding the four steam locomotives purchased for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. He officially joined the Disney payroll in 1971, and stayed for 35 years. George takes great pride in the fact that there has been a train at the park's entrance to greet the day's first Guests every morning since the opening of the Magic Kingdom and that the Magic Kingdom trains have never jumped the track. In 1976 (in addition to his normal responsibilities as head of the round house), he helped with the Fort Wilderness trains and with building the track for them. He helped build the pylons for the Monorail, and he was a consultant for the trains at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

LeMat Centerfire Pistol and Carbine at RIA
November 28, 2014 Ian McCollum Prototype, Revolver, Revolving Rifles, Video 19
Colonel LeMat is best known for his 9-shot muzzleloading .42 caliber revolver with its 20 gauge shot barrel acting as cylinder axis pin – several thousand of these revolvers were imported and used in the field by Confederate officers during the US Civil War (and modern reproductions are available as well). What are less well-known are the .44-caliber pinfire and centerfire versions of LeMat's revolver, and the carbine variants as well.
In this video I'm taking a look at a centerfire LeMat revolver and a centerfire LeMat carbine, both extremely rare guns. They use the same basic principles as the early muzzleloading guns, but look quite different. In these guns, the shotgun remains 20 gauge but uses a self-contained shell loaded form the rear, and the 9 rifles shots are designed for an 11mm (.44 caliber) cartridge very similar to that used in the French 1873 service revolver.

Really Steampunk looking guns!
Jim Pond says:
Definitely EYE CANDY of the highest order! I wish my LeMat looked as good.
They are just so beautifully ugly.
The current 20 gauge are most often 2-3/4″ or 3″ in length. Was this shotshell sizes used for LeMat revolver or the shorter shotshells was used, if yes how long they were?
To fit in the available loading space, they couldn't have been much more than 2″ in OAL, more likely 1.5″ or at most 1.75″.
Since most field loads even then were in 2.5″ or longer cases, my guess is that there was a special short cartridge made specifically for the LeMats. This would be another strike against them in the market, although reloads for them could certainly be made by cutting down the length of standard shotgun cartridge cases.
Euroweasel says:
The shotgun barrel at the center made sense in a muzzle loading gun, but not so much in a cartridge gun. LeMat should have redesigned the gun to use normal rifled barrel in the center chambered for something like .45 Colt or .44-40 WCF. The revolver barrel could have been smaller caliber in order to make the gun a little lighter, perhaps .38 (Short) Colt (which was a popular cartridge and not considered "weak"). Would it have been a success then? Probably not, but the shotgun chambering clearly was obsolete in the cartridge era for this type of gun.
While looking up a link on the Borchardt-designed Winchester revolver this morning, I ran across this;
http://www.gunsmagazine.com/1961issues/G0161.pdf
Among the goodies is an article on the "Baby LeMat", only made in prototype form (five known to exist).
One of them was a metallic-cartridge version, and its center barrel was rifled. So the manufacturers may have been thinking along the lines you describe.
wait..they have all the old "guns" issues up online??? is it free? how do I find them?
M.J. Mahoney says:
Great video! I love the look of the centre-fire LeMats — though I'm sure when you said it was "substantially uglier," you meant "substantially awesomer,"… 😉
Re: the question as to which cartridge they were intended to fire, as I understand it, the Chamelot Delvigne 11mm cartridge will fit, (albeit rather short for the cylinder length,) but the centre-fire LeMat predates the Chamelot Delvigne revolver by 3 or 4 years. So, was the short 11mm cartridge in production for a number of years before the first Chamelot Delvigne revolver circa 1872? Or was the LeMat chambered for another mystery cartridge? Or was, perhaps, the LeMat actually manufactured later than we think?
IIRC, in its own time the centerfire leMat was marketed as a "colonial" revolver. Just the thing for a planter in, say, Haiti, to use to deal with obstreperous field hands. Or for a French officer in, say, the Legion Etrangere' to use.
As such, it most likely was intended to fire the standard French M1873 revolver round. Neither Ezell or Barnes mention any other French-sourced cartridge that would be similar but with a greater case OAL.
One possibility is that the longer chambers may have been intended to accommodate one or more of the following;
1. Rounds loaded with cup-point "manstopper" or "dum-dum" bullets similar to those of some early 0.455in Webley loads. Such a bullet would probably protrude further from the case mouth, requiring a longer cylinder to avoid problems.
2. Shot loads in paper or cardboard "sleeves". This is somewhat unlikely, since there's a 20-gauge shotgun there, too.
3. The ability to chamber and fire other analogous ammunition such as the .44 S&W American or Russian, in event that the standard French ammunition was unavailable.
(3) seems to me to be the most likely reason, and would be logical for a revolver (or carbine) expected to be used in the colonies. However, I do not recommend anyone experiment. Due to variances in rim thickness and possibly case diameter just below the head, plus differences in powder charge, headspace problems and pressure "events" are a distinct possibility.
Andrew Chern says:
Would the LeMat Carbine be considered overkill if used on something similar to the Baskerville Hound or an enraged Bengal Tiger?
The Victorian Era's principle was that the term "excessive force" was an oxymoron. Especially when dealing with irritable wildlife.
Myself, I'd have started with a Winchester M1873 .44-100 for the pup, and a .475 Nitro Express for the kitty-cat.
The LeMat carbine after all fires a revolver round. And a not particularly powerful one, at that; Barnes states the French 11mm M1873 service load as 180 gr. @695 FPS for 195 FPE. That's in the same ballpark as a .38 S&W. aka 0.380in Revolver in a Webley MK IV. The old .44 Colt CF used in the M1872 "Open Top" 1860 Army conversion was actually slightly more powerful (210 gr @ 660 FPS or 225 gr @ 640, for about 206 FPE either way).
Seen in comparison to European loads of the day, it's no wonder American cartridges like the .45 Colt (255gr @ 855 for 405 FPE) or .44-40 WCF (200gr @ 918 for 375 FPE) were considered "Magnums" in modern terms. They had about twice the ME of their Continental contemporaries.
The load Barnes gives for the Mle 1873 appears to be the 1873/90 load, which was introduced in 1890 to address complaints about the original being too weak. The original was 180 grains at 437 fps for 73 ft-lbf of ME. According to both English and French Wikipedias, which use different sources, the 1873/90 load was actually 165 grains at 620 fps for 141 ft-lbf. (Wikipedia has strange rounding errors, I used the m and v0 provided).
I remember reading somewhere that the original Mle 1973 load is probably the weakest pistol cartridge load ever accepted officially by any military, and that appears to be true. Compared to it the .45 Colt was a real super-Magnum. On the other hand, the German M1879 Reichsrevolver (10.6mm) was a much more potent than the Mle 1973; it fire a 262 grain projectile at 670 fps for 261 ft-lbf. (As you probably know, the cartridge was actually based on the .44 Russian.)
The massive centerfire LeMat revolver was used by the guards of the infamous Cayenne penal colony in French Guyana, I think they were the only users to get it directly as a service weapon…it's seems that it was not considered overkill at all. Then, like the British officers did, it could be used as a personal weapon by colonial officers.
"was the short 11mm cartridge in production for a number of years before the first Chamelot Delvigne revolver circa 1872"
municion.org lists some 11mm center-fire cartridge but I fear that determining of cartridge using in this fire-arm will not be possible. Assuming that the 11mm was used (can be sure that?) and using cut-off date of 1870 and excluding long rifle cartridge following cartridges listed on municion fullfill these criteria:
11 mm Devisme patent Gaupillat 1866
11mm Javelle Tin Case
11 mm Swedish Ordnance – http://www.municion.org/11/11x18RSwedish.htm
Before more depth researches we should find that:
-can we assume that the revolver is chambered for French cartridge?
-how is the length of cylinder (which determines the maximum overall length of cartridge)?
-which year treat as a cut-off date to excluding "too modern" cartridge?
The_Champ says:
Thanks again Ian for bringing to my attention a fascinating gun that I had no idea existed.
I can't help but compare that Lemat Carbine to a modern AR-15 with and under-barrel "masterkey" shotgun attached to the rails :). Not that they were built for the same purpose but I guess every old idea can be new again eventually.
Great finds, the finish on the carbine looks beautiful. Is the LeMat specifically exempted from the NFA? or exempt because of it's age? Shouldn't it be considered a short barreled shot gun?
I've thought it would be an interesting concept to redo with a standard revolver and a shrunken M203 grenade launcher chambered in 12 gauge. Mill the front of the trigger guard off the revolver and adapt the m203's trigger spaced in front of the revolver's trigger. Here in Canada I think it would be the same legally as the revolver alone,
Back in the late Eighties IIRC, Guns and Ammo ran a cover story about a father-and-son pair of skilled amateur gunsmiths (both engineers) who went that route with a S&W N-frame.
They converted it to top-break like a Webley(!), made new barrels, etc., and when it was done hey had a revolver with a 16″ barrel (for NFA reasons) that could hold 6 rounds of .357, 6 rounds of .22 LR, and a single .410 shotgun shell all at the same time. Firing through three parallel barrels arranged rather like those of a German over-and-under "drilling" three-barrel rifle/shotgun, with the .357 on top, the .410 right under it, and the .22 on the left side as viewed from the breech end. The .22 barrel was positioned so that when a .357 chamber was properly aligned with that barrel, the .22 chamber next to it was properly aligned with the .22 bore. Simple, and pretty foolproof.
Fire control was by a sliding bar in the frame, that transmitted the hammer fall to any one of the three floating firing pins selected by the transfer-bar method. It also functioned as a safety, by having a fourth position that prevented the hammer from striking any of the three firing pins.
Yes, it had a Webley-type simultaneous extractor star, and yes, it was a complicated beast. BTW, the .410 barrel was rifled to avoid NFA problems. So technically, I imagine it could also have fired .45 LC (hardly much point with the .357 chambers) or .454 Casull (which would be serious OUCH territory, at both ends).
I could see such a weapon in .357 today, with a 20-gauge center barrel. And maybe .22 WMRF chambers tucked in between the .357 chambers. I'd go with five-shot capacity on .357 and .22 to ensure that the locking notches were between the .357 chambers, not over them, to prevent "dimpling" with high-power loads.
And it would definitely have 18″ barrels, and a shoulder stock like the S&W 320 Revolving Rifle that's coming up for sale at RIA. The top-break mechanism would make fitting a sheet-metal shield around the cylinder/barrel gap to prevent lead spitting a lot easier than it would be for a conventional solid frame revolver with a swingout cylinder. Just drop it in like the stamped holster guide on a Webley MK IV.
If I were taking it to Alaska, it would be a five-shot .44 Magnum or .454 Casull, with five rounds of .22 WMRF and a single 20-gauge or 16-gauge barrel for a base pin.
Than should give Ol' Ephraim something to think about if he decides to get cranky.

Once a small professional networking site, LinkedIn has rapidly morphed into the go-to source for professionals worldwide looking to make business happen. Since its inception, B2B marketers have been trying to crack the code for success on the social platform. With all these millions of professionals in one place, surely there's some way to reliably generate leads? Read on as we detail some simple strategies to leverage to your advantage to grow your contacts, make connections and generate business leads.
When targeted digital marketing and sales tactics are combined with social media and content marketing, B2B programs may garner traction pretty quickly.
To give your B2B outreach an extra boost, here are some of Neil Patel's top tips for B2B brands to promote themselves and begin generating leads on LinkedIn.
To generate leads from LinkedIn, you have to be intentional. Leads don't just fall into your lap. You have to earn them. The easiest way to do this is by optimizing your brand's company page for lead generation. Instead of just posting basic information and facts about the company, brands should strive to create a clear and compelling pitch in the company description section that makes visitors want to click through to your website.
If for some reason your new, engaging company description isn't enough to warrant a click from a visitor, attempt to get them in the updates. A mixture of original content, including videos, thought leadership pieces, project profiles and case studies, is a tried-and-true recipe for generating clicks on LinkedIn.
LinkedIn created showcase pages for companies to promote individual brands that are extensions of the larger company. Showcase pages were basically custom-made for B2B brands to better generate leads, so why not take advantage? These detailed pages are a great way to segment your inbound LinkedIn traffic.
Remember, each showcase page you create should target one customer segment and provide information that is relevant to them. These pages get a larger header image and more places to link back to your website.
LinkedIn's groups feature offers a lot of great networking opportunities. That said, one of the ways to get even more from the power of groups is to create your own. When you become the owner and moderator of your group, you gain leadership and recognition within your given industry. As long as you position yourself authoritatively and not in a salesy way, you can effectively establish a place where your target audience can gather and interact.
At the end of the day, LinkedIn offers ample opportunity for B2B marketers. While the aforementioned strategies are simple, they could create an opportunity that turns into your next B2B sale.


I have to hand it to Richardson for his astute observations on the dynamics of family. He nails it as he depicts the turmoil that Denise is dealing with as she finally confronts Silas, her father who, for all she knows, just up and left her and her mom high and dry twenty years ago, just as a family was about to begin. She goes to seek out her father and yet, when she finds him, she seems content to just punch him in the gut and give him some harsh news. That's probably not all she wants from her father and we follow along as hints are made this may be true. As any good parent and child story promises, there will be some fascinating psychology to address. And Richardson delivers with a subtle touch. For instance, the daughter is trying to figure out her father while keeping her distance. He reaches out. She refuses to be touched.
Gabriel Guzmán (Star Wars, Cable, Kull) is just as sensitive to father and daughter dynamics and provides us with heartfelt portrayals. There's a tenderness in fine juxtaposition with all the conflict that is really compelling. Yes, this is a story that will be relatable to anyone going through family issues. And then we get the heightened sense of reality once we find out that Silas used to work for the mob as was known as the Eastside Butcher. It is Denise's persistent asking around for her father that has flushed him out and alerted certain powers that be about a loose canon they've been looking for. Between Guzmán and Richardson, we have quite a misadventure set in motion.
"Father's Day" is available as of October 22. For more information, visit our friends at Dark Horse Comics right here.

Есть ли возможность использовать шаблоны таким образом?
A: Весь фокус в том, что шаблон инстанциируется в таком случае в файле module1.cpp. Инстанциирование экземпляра шаблона происходит "по требованию". Так же и создание кода его методов. В модуле module1.cpp не было вызова метода func() и его код не был создан. Поэтому линковщик и не находит его.

Reimbursement and Compensation: Allegiant Air
"We apologize for the inconvenience" is a typical response from airlines when a flight is delayed or canceled. But for European departures at least you might also be able to claim flight delay or Allegiant Air cancellation compensation under a law known as EC 261. You could be owed as much as US$700 (€600) per person.
Click below to find out how much Allegiant Air flight compensation you're owed and how we can help you get it.
Allegiant Air Flight Cancellation Compensation
While Allegiant Air isn't a European airline, whenever they fly in Europe they comply with European regulations. That is good news for any passenger affected by a flight cancellation, as a last-minute cancellation of a European departure may entitle them to a fair Allegiant Air compensation payout.
With any Allegiant Air flight cancellation, you'll be offered an alternative flight to your destination, or a full refund if that's what you'd prefer. But in addition, if your flight was canceled less than 14 days before you were due to depart a European airport, EU laws say passengers may be entitled to up to US$700 per person in compensation.
If Allegiant Air was able to offer you an alternative flight that would land at a very similar time to your original, they won't have to pay you compensation. They would also be exempt from paying compensation if there were extraordinary circumstances which made the cancellation necessary. That means anything that is beyond the airline's control, for example, bad weather, a medical emergency, or some form of disruptive event affecting the airport.
Because there are these exceptions, the easiest way to check if you're owed Allegiant Air canceled flight compensation is to use our free compensation calculator.

Allegiant Air Flight Delay Compensation
If you've been on a late flight departing from a European airport, it's worth checking if you're owed Allegiant Air flight delay compensation. That's because under EU law, flights that are delayed by 3 hours or more might be eligible for up to US$700 per person in compensation from their airline.
It doesn't matter where you were flying to — what does matter is your arrival time. For compensation, it is the time that you arrived in your destination that's significant, not the time that you took off. So even if you technically departed on time, if you arrived at your destination more than 3 hours late, you may be eligible for compensation.
One important exclusion is for those Allegiant Air flight delays that are caused by extraordinary circumstances. This refers to situations that are outside of the airline's control. Common examples are delays caused by bad weather or an air traffic control strike. Because the airline cannot prevent these delays, they shouldn't have to pay compensation for them.
But if the delay is due to something they can control — such as a strike by Allegiant Air staff, or a maintenance issue, then you're entitled to submit a flight delay compensation Allegiant Air claim.
Claim up to US$700 in compensation if your flight has been delayed, canceled, or overbooked within the last 3 years.

What's Covered Under EU Air Passenger Rights?
Europe's air passenger rights, EC 261, are among the most comprehensive in the world. They are designed to ensure airlines like Allegiant Air take appropriate care of their passengers and compensate passengers fairly when their journeys are disrupted by flight delays, cancellations, or overbookings.
All passengers on a flight departing from a European airport are covered by EC 261. However, as Allegiant Air is not a European airline, they do not need to pay EC 261 compensation when they are flying outside of Europe, or even on flights to Europe if the departure airport is outside the EU.
Which Allegiant Air Flights are Covered by EC 261?
Covered by EC 261
Flights departing EU airports ✔ Yes
Flights arriving at EU airports ❌ No
How Much Allegiant Air Flight Compensation?
All flights under 1,500 km Up to €250 per person
Internal EU flights over 1,500 km Up to €400 per person
Non-internal EU flights between 1,500 - 3,500 km Up to €400 per person
Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km Up to €600 per person
Table shows values in € as specified in EC 261
All paying passengers are treated equally by EC 261. It doesn't matter where a passenger is from, whether they are an adult or a child, or how much they paid for their ticket — the compensation amounts are the same.
As you might expect with any law, there are exceptions and special circumstances that can affect how much compensation is owed in every individual case. AirHelp makes it simple to check what you're owed with our free compensation calculator.
