It is the turn of Da Lat, a really appreciated destination reached by bus (it takes 4 hours for 120,000 dongs, or about € 4.50) from the chaotic and tourist Nha Trang (https://www.marsontheroad.com/en/destinazioni/77/the-other-side-of-vietnam-nha-trang).
Đà Lạt is the capital of the province of Lâm Đồng in the central highlands of southern Vietnam; It is built around a lake and a golf course and is surrounded by hills, pine forests, lakes and waterfalls. Known as the "City of the Eternal Spring" due to its characteristic temperate climate and because there are flowers everywhere. Da Lat was developed by the French in the early 1900s, leaving many signs of its colonial heritage.
I stay at the Wolpack hostel for 115,000 dong, or € 4 per night in an 8-bed dormitory with breakfast included. Moreover, in the evening you can enjoy the "Family Dinner" for 68,000 dong that is 2.50 € enjoying a delicious and plentiful meal. Furthermore, the owner and the staff are super friendly and very helpful.
I rent a scooter for 115,000 dongs, or about 4 € and start my tour in the so-called "countryside".
After 1 hour driving, I reach the Elephant Waterfall. Here the entrance is 20,000 dong. I reach it following the directions on maps.me that takes me right under the waterfall along a very narrow path and downhill. Nearby there is also a pagoda and the happy Buddha.
On my way back to the city, I decide to visit the "Cuong Hoan Silk Factory" paying 10,000 dong. It is very interesting to see how silk is produced. For example, do you know that a single cocoon produces 800 to 1000 meters of silk thread? You will find out so many interesting stories about silk here!
Then I stop at the Me Linh Coffee Garden: a place with a great view and a good coffee and yoghurt.
Here I try one of the most expensive and sought-after coffees in the world: Kopi Luwak (weasel coffee); it can also cost $ 3,000 per kilogram. They produce every year no more than 250 kg and it is easy to understand why it is considered the most expensive coffee in the world: the coffee beans, in fact, are ingested and partially digested by weasels, whose intestinal enzymes are able to eliminate only the bitter notes of coffee, leaving the sweet ones intact. You will find this variety for around 30-40 euros per kilo in Vietnam.
Finally, I visit the Datanla waterfall which is 7km from the centre of Da Lat. The admission fee is 30,000 dong and here there are various activities to be carried out such as getting on a train that takes you up to the waterfall, obviously paying extra.
The next day I decide to do Canyoning starting right from this waterfall with the company Highland sport, which I recommend. It is a mix of activities such as rock climbing near the various waterfalls in the forest, trekking along the rivers and jumps from rocks 7, 9 or 11 meters high. Not to mention the many times I find myself (it is an expected activity) in very strong water currents that they call "washing machine"!
So I 've pent an alternative day full of pure adrenaline. Recommended for those who do not suffer from vertigo and love adventure sports (price 50 $, expensive but absolutely worth it, water and lunch included).
In the city instead, you can visit the following attractions: Xuan Huong lake, the garden of flowers (entrance 40.000 dong), the Pagoda Linh Quang and the many cafes with a particular style (I recommend An Café and La Viet).
If you have time visit the Crazy House: it is a house/hotel with a strange shape and alternative / modern style. The ground floor instead is painted by recalling the coral reef: here it seems to be in a fairy tale. Entrance fee 50,000 dong.
The evening not to be missed is 100 Roof bar which is a very special bar; I do not add anything else, to you the surprise!
Ultimately Da Lat is a destination that I highly recommend and in which I have even found an ideal climate: around 26-28 degrees during the day and around 18-20 degrees during the evening.

Q: Will facebook public profile always contains email Id? I am creating a facebook login functionality for my website.
When user login through facebook , then I want to fetch emailId ( which can come with public profile ).
Is it possible ( in any case ) that when I fetch public profile then it does not contain users email Id ?
Thanks
Amit Aggarwal

A: There are very less chances that you'll get email without asking for its permission as a public info.
You gotta ask for permission email to get one. But still there could be chances (3-4 in 100) that you'll not get email even when user gave you the permission and you can do nothing about that. You can check out this discussion for the reasons: Register with Facebook sometimes doesn't provide email

Kiaramas Cendana - Another Off-The-Mill Mont Kiara Condo?
Another prestigious development is once again brought to the Mont Kiara vicinity is Kiaramas Cendana, a freehold condominium consisting of some 184 units. The amenities-packed condominium stands majestically on Mont Kiara's elevated ground, its tower comprising of 29 storeys.
Peace and calm await Kiaramas Cendana's residents, as the condominium has spectacular views of Mont Kiara, which can be seen from 416 feet above sea level. It's easy to appreciate the condominium's roads, which are lined up with trees to invite a more relaxed atmosphere. Located in the east of Mont Kiara known as Kiaramas, its neighbours are Kiaramas Ayuria and Kiaramas Danai. Further down the road is Kiaramas Sutera and Gateway Kiaramas (profiled rather nicely by GoodPlace.my here).
When figuring out the a Kiaramas Cendana unit's "fair value", remember to compare it side-by-side with "comps" for an accurate estimation. Read this guide on how to do this – it's a free download.
Asia Quest, Kiaramas Cendana's developer, seems to be carving its own niche here in Mont Kiara despite having been compared endlessly to UEM Sunrise. Indeed, there are some dodgy Mont Kiara condominiums around (yes, a fair number of them are indeed duds as we have pointed out elsewhere here in PropertyReviews.my), but Asia Quest seems to be content in putting out quality products albeit in a relatively "quiet" manner.
As such, Kiaramas Cendana does seem to be somewhat "flawless" at least from the outside. From its sturdy structure that is made from quality materials to the condominium's A+ facilities and amenities, it's hard to find something to complain about.
There seems to be a "flood" of listings at the property portals – we have seen one which has got 319 (!!) ads of Cendana for sale. Nobody in their right minds will even believe that there's this many units that are available! Instead of doing the search yourself, why not use our DealMatcher service? We will research for you and connect you up with an agent if you like – so that you don't waste time looking at "fake" listings and dealing with people you don't know that you meet via the online portals. Click here to start.
Standard units and penthouses are available for potential residents and buyers. Standard units measures at 1,650 and can go as spacious as 2,460 square feet. Penthouses, on the other hand, have a built-up area of 2,852 to 4,830 square feet.
Residents can experience and enjoy the perks of living in this high-end condominium. For one, units come with a built-in water spa. There is also a separate shower area and a long bath in the master's bedroom. In addition, residents have access to four incoming phone lines to accommodate shared broadband and internet access. For its furnishings, bedrooms and kitchens have porcelain tiles. Meanwhile, timber floor tiles line the master's bedroom. Kitchens are also equipped with an additional wet kitchen area; a single bowl sink and a worktop; built-in kitchen cabinets; and counter-tops with acrylic solid surfaces.
Residents who occupy standard units are given two adjacent parking slots on the condominium's covered parking bays, while residents who occupy its penthouses are given three parking slots.
Mont Kiara seems ideal for people who are always on-the-go and strive for modern convenience at every turn. Walk around the vicinity and you will find supermarkets, convenience stores, and shopping malls to meet all your shopping needs. Aside from these, there are also fine-dining restaurants, as well as fast food chains, pubs, cafes, and other entertainment spots. For families with children, the Kiaramas Cendanas is nearby international schools such as Mont Kiara International School and Garden International School.
The condominium can easily be accessed by major thoroughfares and roads. In fact, traveling to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport is easy, because the SPRINT Highway is just nearby. KLCC is also within driving distance, and residents can use New Klang Valley Expressway to go to Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, or Port Klang.
Alright, so here's Asia Quest did a spectacular job in Kiaramas Cendana. Adding an impressive list of facilities to accommodate the luxury needs of residents made it clear that the developer wants to improve on their developments and further cement their place as one of Mont Kiara's successful condominium developers (although it does seem to be perpetually in the shadow of Sunrise).
Kiaramas Cendana is a condominium with a lot of potential, with its quiet surroundings and an elevated location that is nestled away from the sometimes bustling Mont Kiara community. The green scenery alone is enough to attract potential residents and investors, and with its reasonable prices, we won't be surprised if units in this condominium will be occupied for a long time.
It's interesting to note that the price increases drastically just about 800 metres down Jalan Desa Kiara – Gateway's asking price is about 40% higher than Cendana's, but we are not comparing apples to apples here. The Cendana can be a bargain buy for a Mont Kiara unit. Additionally, security seems to be a concern nowadays (not specifically in Kiaramas, but the entire Mont Kiara enclave) with the kidnapping of a Dutch boy in front of the Mont Kiara International School in April; the presence of a police station just off Jalan Desa Kiara is a major boost to safety concerns.
Finally, as Mont Kiara has been a buyer's market for some time now with supply outpacing demand, it's a good opportunity to do some bargain hunting and make bank in the process. If you're interested in getting a unit at the Cendana, remember the golden rule of property investment – always pay at or below fair market value. And as any experienced investor in Malaysia property would tell you, in order to come up with a property's fair market value, always look at the transacted prices (not the asking prices).

Suciacarpa is an extinct genus of asterid flowering plants in the order Cornales. It is known from the fossil species Suciacarpa starrii and Suciacarpa xiangae, both found in Western North America.

History and classification
Suciacarpa is known from several anatomically preserved fruits found in north-western Washington state, United States, and Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

At time of description the S. starrii holotype specimen, UF 19276-54286, and paratype, UF 19304-54982, were residing in the paleobotanical collections housed by the Florida Museum of Natural History.  The two fruits were first studied by Oregon State University paleobotanist Brian Atkinson, with his 2016 type description for the genus and species being published in the NRC Research Press journal Botany.  Atkinson coined the genus name Suciacarpa as a combination of "Sucia" after the type locality and the Greek carpa meaning fruit. The specific epithet starrii was chosen as a patronym honoring David W. Starr, who helped collect the fossils and to increase awareness of Sucia Island in the paleontology community.

The fruits show a mosaic combination of features seen in the Cornales family groups Cornaceae/Alangiaceae and Nyssaceae, Mastixiaceae, and Davidiaceae, but does not conform to any one particular family and thus was left as incertae sedis within the order.  The Japanese Cornalean species Hironoia fusiformis described from coalified fossils of Coniacian age differ from Suciacarpa in several ways. The holotype fruit has preserved seeds with fungal hyphae and pyrite crystals in the cell structure.

Distribution and paleoecology
The S. starriiholotype specimen was collected on Sucia Island while the paratype was collected on Little Sucia Island. Both fruits are preserved in calcareous nodules recovered from exposures of the Campanian age Cedar District Formation. The nodules formed in what is thought to have been a shallow marine shelf environment that also had ammonites and inoceramid bivalves.  The formation has also preserved fossils of other terrestrial organisms including a single land snail, Condonella suciensis and a theropod femur, the first dinosaur identified from Washington State.

The only fossil of S. xiangae was found in a calcareous nodule from an outcrop of the late Campanian Spray Formation, part of the Cretaceous Nanaimo Group.  The formation outcrop is in the area of Shelter point on the central eastern coast of Vancouver Island, north of Sucuia and Little Sucia Islands.

There is differing opinion regarding what latitude the formations were deposited at in the Campanian.  One suggestion, the Baja–British Columbia hypothesis, is that in the Cretaceous the area was located at about 30° north latitude, similar to Modern Baja California, and subsequent tectonic movement has shifted the area  north to its present-day location.  The other suggestion also involves northward tectonic movement, but suggests the Cretaceous location for the sediments was approximately the region of Northern California.

Description
The S. starrii fruits have a four-chambered structure with a smooth, woody exterior endocarp that is formed from sclerenchyma tissues.  The fruits are approximately  in diameter and  long with each of the four crescent-shaped germination chambers opening near the top of the fruit.  The germination chambers have a single seed each, attached to the chamber wall near the apex. Based on the positioning of the preserved fungal hyphae, the cells of the seed integument were rectangular in outline and small.  Like members of Nyssaceae, S. starrii has short germination valves that occupy only about half of the fruit, but have secretory chambers, a feature only seen in cornelian cherries of the Cornus subgenus Cornus.  Also S. starrii has a pair of vascular bundles running through each of the septa lengthwise.  The two bundles converge near the top of the septum to enter the seed.

N-capable cruise missile test-fired
ISLAMABAD, Aug 25: Pakistan on Saturday successfully test-fired a new nuclear-capable air-launched cruise missile "Hatf-8" (Ra'ad).
The indigenously-developed Ra'ad, meaning thunder in Arabic, has a range of 350 kilometres and has been designed exclusively for launch from a variety of Pakistan's air platforms, providing these with a strategic standoff capability on land and at sea.
A statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations said the missile had a low detection probability due to stealth design and materials. The Ra'ad can carry all types of warheads and has accuracy comparable to Pakistan's longer-range cruise missile "Babur".
The president and the prime minister congratulated the scientists and engineers involved in the development of the new national strategic capability.

Success Brings Scrutiny to Chinese Mystic
Posted by Josh Rudolph | Jul 31, 2013
Over the past week and amid a state campaign discouraging superstition among the political elite, "Qigong master" Wang Lin has attracted much attention in the Chinese media due to his relationships with high-profile officials and celebrities. Last week, the Global Times reported:
Qigong, the ancient Chinese healing practice, has seen a revival in popularity of late, becoming one of the latest fads for celebrities. Although a number of pseudo-qigong masters have been revealed as frauds, losing much of their appeal with the public, their celebrity fan base appears to be more loyal than most.
The devotion of prominent personalities to their masters came to light recently when photos surfaced of Ma Yun (Jack Ma), the billionaire founder and ex-CEO of the Alibaba Group, visiting Wang Lin, a self-proclaimed qigong master from Pingxiang in Jiangxi Province. The reaction online was one of shock that such a successful entrepreneur could fall prey to a charlatan like Wang.
There was further consternation when other celebrities such as actor Jet Li and actress Zhao Wei also became guests of Wang Lin.
Quickly delving into the life of Wang, more alarming pictures were found in which Wang seemed to be hobnobbing with top officials including Liu Zhijun, the disgraced minister of railways, and former ministers. In one picture, former health minister Chen Minzhang was shown receiving treatment by Wang. [Source]
A report from Sina English has more on the probe into Wang and press coverage of it:
In what appears to be a latest case of scam busting, the flamboyant 'Qigong' master Wang Lin will soon see his self-vaunted supernatural power grilled as an investigation into his suspected illegal medical practice is well underway, according to a report by Beijing News on July 29.
Head of the publicity department of the county Party committee of Luxi, Wang's hometown in eastern Jiangxi Province, told the journalist in a telephone interview last night that further probe is still in process as there is now no sufficient evidence to make an immediate arrest.
Wang's self-claimed paranormal abilities and high-profile friends roster have hit the headlines over the past week, although most of the coverages treat him as a pompous, money-worshiping swindler.
The official China Central Television put on a feature program last night to muckrake Wang, describing him as a "bragger and liar" whose only aim is to "accumulate wealth". [Source]
The self-proclaimed Qigong master has allegedly "cursed" the journalist who broke the Beijing News story cited above.
Media coverage has also focused on a legal battle between Wang and a former "apprentice" that is being re-tried in a provincial level court after a local ruling in Wang's favor. A report from the Global Times explains the circumstances of the court battle, and displays how coverage of the trial emphasizes his charlatan status and not his success in the intermediate court:
A court in Jiangxi Province held the second trial in a 30 million yuan ($4.8 million) dispute between the self-proclaimed qigong master Wang Lin and his former apprentice on Tuesday Morning.
Zou Yong, a businessman and once Wang's apprentice, appealed to the Higher People's Court in Jiangxi Province after an intermediate court ruled that he must pay back the 30 million yuan he was loaned by Wang.
Zou told the Global Times in a phone interview on Tuesday that he borrowed money from Wang but had already paid some of it back through his "tuition."
Zou had allegedly paid Wang over 5 million yuan and bought Wang a Rolls Royce as "tuition" to learn qigong.
"I used to truly believe in Wang's tricks, but I later found that he has moral issues," Zou said. "Now I realize that all of his self-professed power is fake and I feel ashamed that I was once his apprentice."
[…]Recent media reports exposed Wang as a charlatan. He claimed that he has supernatural powers and one of his most famous tricks is to conjure snakes from an empty basin. He explained that the snakes were freshly caught in the field by his spirit, which could leave his body and travel thousands of miles in the blink of an eye. [Source]
Amid the barrage of media criticism and while waiting for the verdict from Jiangxi, Wang has fled to Hong Kong where he is allegedly seeking refuge. From the semi-autonomous SAR, Wang offered the New York Times his side of the story:
Hiding in Hong Kong, where he fled to avoid possible arrest, Mr. Wang said Tuesday in an interview that he was the innocent victim of a political vendetta that has rippled outward from a business dispute in his hometown in Jiangxi Province in southern China. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China with considerable legal autonomy.
Mr. Wang said he hoped that discussing his case would show he was the target, rather than the perpetrator, of corrupt political dealings.
"It's as if the whole country has turned against me, turning black into white and white into black," Mr. Wang said from a chic hotel room where he has been hiding out from reporters and, his associates said, Chinese officials. "It's truly beyond my comprehension."
[…]"If I go back, I'll certainly be arrested," said Mr. Wang, wearing the glittery style of ring and watch favored by many newly wealthy Chinese people. He said he had made his money honestly, and never took money from officials or from ill people who sought his help. "I've always kept to myself, never promoted myself, but now it seems the media can treat me as a criminal, say anything about me."
[…]Mr. Wang said he had a permanent residence permit to stay in Hong Kong and for now had no intention of returning to mainland China.
He likened himself to Edward J. Snowden, the former intelligence contractor who briefly hid in a Hong Kong hotel after disclosing information about the United States' intelligence-gathering efforts. [Source]
Wang began his career towards the end of a larger Qigong revival between the 1970s and 1990s—the same wave of popularity that allowed Falun Gong founder Li Hongzhi to gather his following until the movement was banned. Unlike Li, Wang didn't codify his teachings into a system that the ruling party deemed a threat, and instead remained under the radar, relying on a small group of followers. Among the officials and celebrities whose meetings with Wang sparked the current investigation into his character was Liu Zhijun, the former railways minister who was recently given a suspended death sentence for corruption. The above linked article from the New York Times notes that Wang has become "an example of the excesses and ideological rot threatening the Communist Party," and as such an ideal target in the ongoing party campaign against corruption. In a Caixin article asking how someone like Wang manages to attract followers from within the party, an expert describes the attraction as a example of their lost faith:
Lei Yi, a historian at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, says that this is due to a sense of insecurity troubling China's political and business elite. They hope to receive some sort of blessing and turn to these "experts" for career advice and luck.
[…]A lot of these well-known "masters" are skilled in manipulating people, Lei said. Unlike religions such as Buddhism and Taoism, which have doctrines, what these qigong "masters" promote is just magic and witchcraft, he said.
Lei said that superstition is common in all walks of life, but this "man of God" phenomenon among senior officials and businessmen is worth special attention. While the worship by entertainers can be written off as a hobby with little public influence, in the case of officials it reflects a paradox because they are the ones openly preaching and advocating materialism and atheism. These words diverge radically from their thinking, Lei said.
Ultimately, Lei said, this phenomenon showed that "this is an era of lost faith." [Source]

Samuel L. Jackson's Top 10 Performances
Here's the very best from one of his generation's most prolific and unforgettable actors
by Collin Brennan and Dominick Suzanne-Mayer
Top Performances is a recurring feature in which we definitively handpick the very best performances from an iconic actor or actress.
Samuel L. Jackson is far, far more than a series of memes. It's a fact worth remembering as time goes on, and the actor's most iconic performances have become inexorably linked to "say what again" image macros and a great many jokes about motherfuckin' snakes on motherfuckin' planes. But there's so much more to the venerable performer than younger audiences may realize and perhaps even more than Pulp Fiction enthusiasts do either. Over a staggering 178 onscreen appearances since 1972 (and with nine more on the way, at various stages of production), Jackson has carved out a distinct niche as an untouchable tough guy with a disarming humor about himself.
Even then, though, this description hardly includes some of his most distinguished work, full of quiet and thunderous fury, moments of gentleness colliding with abject menace from film to film. There's a humanity to even some of Jackson's most paycheck-friendly work that gets left behind in more simplistic readings of his oevure, and it's that must-see quality in every role that's kept the prolific actor at the forefront of the industry for decades.
As he returns to theaters this weekend as John Shaft (Right on!), we've dug through the actor's many credits to highlight some of the standout turns, the ones that elevated good films to great and great films to iconic status. It's an eclectic mix of heroes and villains, with all manner of morally complicated or wayward figures along the way. And those are just the Tarantino performances. Without further ado, please enjoy our list of Samuel L. Jackson's 10 best performances, none of which took place in the film Snakes on a Plane.
10. Elijah Price/Mr. Glass
We'll begin our list with perhaps the least Sam Jackson role of them all. Born with a rare disease that renders his bones extremely brittle, Elijah Price is about the furthest thing removed from the Bad Mother Fucker of Pulp Fiction lore (and the Jedi Master of the Star Wars prequels, for that matter). And yet, confined to a wheelchair and prone to scholarly ruminations on the subject of comic books, Jackson's Price somehow never strikes the viewer as incongruous with the actor's natural bravado.
Jackson has always had a flair for the dramatic, and here he capitalizes on his character's exaggerated vulnerability to tap into a vein that doesn't get much play elsewhere in his body of work. His penchant for delivering big, knock-out speeches also serves him well here, as M. Night Shyamalan entrusts him with the defining moment of any M. Night Shyamalan film: the reveal. Rumor has it that Jackson may reprise his role as Price (a.k.a. "Mr. Glass") in a forthcoming sequel, in which case we won't be surprised when he steals the show. –Collin Brennan
09. Frozone
And now, for a very different kind of comic book character. The greatest joy of Pixar's 2005 superhero tribute/send-up arguably lies in how ultimately boring superheroes are when they're not saving the world. They bicker, they go grocery shopping, they trudge through jobs they wish they didn't have but need to have. They're just like the rest of us, except for how their opportunities for escape are so much cooler than our own. Most of the costumed heroes in The Incredibles could be people we know, and that's the beauty of it.
And in the case of Mr. Incredible's closest friend, Frozone, they're just trying to relive the glory days and figure out where their wives left their supersuits after all these years. Jackson's role in the film is relatively brief, but Frozone is one of the most memorable creations in a film chock-full of those because of the actor's giddy-yet-practical delivery. While Jackson has been known to indulge his nerdier side from time to time (Kingsman, the Star Wars prequels), here he plays the kind of superhero that you'd not only love to be around, but would follow even in a less accomplished movie. His comic timing is as perfect as the climactic sequence in which we finally get to see just how good Frozone really was, back in the glory days. –Dominick Suzanne-Mayer
08. Zeus Carver
Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)
It's rare these days that Jackson gets to play an everyday guy; his star persona has become too outsized for many of those roles to fit such a boisterous performer. But in Vengeance, debatably the last Die Hard movie of value, it's Jackson's take on a reluctant everyday hero that propels the preposteriously '90s actioner forward. Zeus is the kind of sidekick who wasn't really interested in being one; after rescuing John McClane from a cruel joke by a terrorist, he becomes the perfect foil for Bruce Willis' exhausted, suspended lieutenant.
It's a performance well within Jackson's wheelhouse, albeit with a common touch that ends up being a highlight of John McTiernan's entertaining but uneven film. Zeus is an electrician dragged into extraordinary circumstances, and not even the film's outdated, race-baiting politics detract from how uproariously funny his repartee with Willis is. His performance is exactly what a cornball film of this nature needs: humorous, believable, and just a little bit ridiculous. And whatever you do, don't question his name, or you can expect a strong response: "Yeah, Zeus! As in, father of Apollo? Mt. Olympus? Don't fuck with me or I'll shove a lightning bolt up your ass? Zeus! You got a problem with that?" –Dominick Suzanne-Mayer
07. Stephen
It's no surprise that Jackson's most controversial role — and possibly his funniest, if you can somehow look past the brutal undertones — is the fruit of his longstanding partnership with Quentin Tarantino. Jackson has described the character of Stephen as "the most despised Negro in cinematic history," and he's not particularly exaggerating there. A senior house slave who might be even more cruel and vindictive than his master, Stephen represents one of the most unsettling contradictions of America's pre-Civil War South: a marginally empowered slave who's as blind to his own blackness as he is hyper-aware of others'.
This is obviously not an easy role for a black actor to play, but Jackson deserves credit for truly digging into Stephen's psyche and dedicating himself to the comical degree of cruelty he finds there. Though hidden by layers of makeup and prosthetics, his every expression somehow conveys all the hatred and scorn and self-loathing that his actions make apparent. And, though troubling in a broader sense, Stephen's unwavering devotion to his master, Calvin Candie (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), often leads to hilarious results, such as a tendency to simply repeat the last word of whatever Candie says. Stephen may be a relic and a curiosity of America's darkest era, but in Jackson's hands he's also undeniably human. Regardless of whether that's actually a good thing in this context, it's an achievement of acting that's worth celebrating. –Collin Brennan
06. Nick Fury
Jackson's success as S.H.I.E.L.D. general Nick Fury actually began before his first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In 2002's The Ultimates, Marvel debuted a redesigned version of Fury that looked and acted a hell of a lot like Jackson, but it wasn't until 2010's Iron Man 2 that the actor made the role his own.
Since then, Jackson's Fury has become a fixture of the MCU, consistently coming across as the dominant presence even when dropped in a room full of superhumans. A complex character who oscillates between even-keeled and authoritarian, this iteration of Fury is perhaps Marvel's strongest yet, which goes to show what the right actor can do when given some meaty comic-book source material to chew on. –Collin Brennan

Britain's wind farms reached record levels of output on Monday providing five per cent of all electricity to the grid over the course of the day.
National Grid confirmed that 40.5GWh out of a total 809.5GWh was provided by wind farms during the 24-hour period, with output peaking at 1,860MW at 8:30pm. At its peak the wind energy sector was providing electricity equivalent to that produced by three nuclear power stations.
A spokeswoman for the grid operator said that when so-called embedded wind generation from turbines that are not connected to the grid is taken into account it is estimated that on Monday around 10 per cent of the UK's electricity was delivered by wind power.
"Overall about 10 per cent of total electricity demand would have been met by wind power," she said. "It is a pretty big landmark for the industry."
The record will be taken as further evidence that the grid can cope with growing inputs from intermittent energy sources such as wind farms. "Matching demand with supply is changing by its very nature because of the intermittency of wind energy," said the National Grid spokeswoman. "But that does not mean it can not be done."
However, the UK has a long way to go to match the performance of some of its European neighbours. For a period back in January this year, wind farms in Spain and Portugal consistently delivered 50 per cent of electricity demand for the Iberian peninsular.

Evolve Skin Rejuvenation Clinic – October 2014 Clinic of the Month!
Wendii, owner of Evolve Skin Rejuventation Clinic shares her story with us.
Evolve is 8 years old and going strong.
My mother took me to my first beauty therapist at the age of 13 and she encouraged me to use good skin care, tidy my brows etc. 27 years later I still thank my mum for her insight back then to teach me to look after the one thing that is with everyone for life, your skin – I believe it is a great gift a parent can give a child. Fashion lasts a season but skin last a life time. It surprises me when parents don't believe in spending a bit more on their child's skin rather than what's cheap at the supermarket or chemist.
My team! Boy it has taken a long time but I now have the best team. They are passionate, eager & reliable. It's unfortunate when I hear salon owner complain about their staff – they were the one's that employed them in the first place!
I have 2 gorgeous boys 2 and 4½ , a wonderful supportive husband and great staff. I work 3½ days a week with ½ a day working on the business not in the business and a business coach who I liaise with once a month.
Our clinic opens at 10am through the week which allows myself and my staff to drop our children of at school and day-care. We have 2 late nights to 7:30pm which allows us to fit in more clients. Saturdays begin at 9am and finish at 3pm although we do extend if need be. After 8 years there has been no need/demand to change the hours and we all live stress free lives.
For years I searched for customised skin care and dermaviduals is it.
What attracts you to the Tea Tree Gully area?
Prior to opening Evolve, I worked the other side of Adelaide near the beach and we had clients from the surrounding suburbs of Tea Tree Gully. I intrigued me that clients would travel so far (by Adelaide standards) so I started to investigate and there were no clinics North East of Adelaide that offered what I could offer.
Amazingly I looked in the paper and there was a location up for rent, 6 weeks later Evolve opened for business and we are still there 8 years later.
Don't do it if you think it is glamorous or easy, 20 years later I still do pedicures and bikini waxes!
I really listen to client's queries about the new things they have heard about, I then research and make my own educated decisions whether to introduce it into my clinic.
I am constantly up-skilling and encourage my team to do so too. I send my staff to training courses frequently – in fact to reward my sensational team I sent my senior therapist for advanced skin analysis training in Melbourne at the beginning of the year and I took my Manager over to China recently to up-skill in cosmetic tattooing.

Whether you're moving out for the first time, moving in with your partner, or upgrading to a new home to accommodate a growing family, packing your life into boxes is never an easy feat. Moving into your new home is an exciting adventure, but it doesn't come without its frustrations.
If you're in the process of preparing to move your things from one house to another, approaching the task with a few tricks up your sleeve will make the process more efficient – as well as allowing for an easier move-out in the future!
Here are 10 tips to make the move into your new home a smooth transition.
Avoid carting useless items and unworn clothing with you to your new home. Lighten the load by donating or selling items you no longer have a use for, and make a trip to the garbage dump with anything that is damaged or inoperable.
Clearing out the unnecessary junk will ensure you enter your new home with nothing but the necessities and genuinely valuable possessions. This will help you avoid creating clutter and taking up space in your new cupboards.
Take extra care of your breakables by using the correct protective materials to avoid breakage. Packing gear such as bubble wrap, glass socks, poly foam and packing paper help to keep fragile items safe and secure while in transit to your new home.
Labelling each box as you seal it will help you immensely with the unpacking process. To get the most out of your permanent marker, go into as much detail as possible. What items are in the box? What room should it be placed in and how soon will you need it unpacked? Is there anything fragile inside? If the label doesn't tell you, you'll quickly forget!
The last thing you want after a long, hard day of unpacking is to stumble across a shampoo explosion throughout all your toiletries. Avoid making a mess by wrapping all bottles of liquid in a plastic bag or gladwrap.
Very rarely does anyone manage to unpack every single box on the first day of moving in. Ensure easy access to essentials such as phone chargers, toothbrushes, toilet paper and medication by packing them in a separate bag or clear box.
Whether you recruit your friends and family or hire the professionals, your packing and moving process will be made easier and faster by sharing the load. Seal the deal with some takeaway and bubbly to celebrate the move-in and show your appreciation to everyone who lent a hand.
Particularly important if you are hiring a moving company, keeping a record of your household items ensures you can take fast action if you notice something is missing. You may even like to keep a spreadsheet of the contents of each box and assign each box a number for easy tracking.
Make nice with the people in your neighbourhood or building. Introduce yourself and inform them of your move-in. And ensure you don't get off on the wrong foot by blocking someone's driveway with your moving vehicle!
Not only does a polite introduction help create a friendly neighbourhood. It could also come in handy when you move out again in the future – their helping hands could make a big difference.
If you're renting, remember to take photos of your new home before you start unpacking. This ensures you have proof of the condition of your home when you wish to move out – so any existing imperfections can't be blamed on you!
Don't spoil your new home by getting sloppy! Find a place for everything and keep your cupboards and drawers organised. Frequent cleanouts are necessary to keep unused junk out and maintain a clear and tidy home. This will make packing for your next move a breeze too!
If you're looking to make your move as stress-free as possible, our handy hints will have you settling in in no time!

Specification Reform of Avionics Thermal Design Criteria – An F-15 Case Study
Traditional thermal design criteria for avionics equipment are reviewed. Several studies have recently been conducted on the F-15 to assess accuracy of these design criteria. An overview of the study approach and results are presented. Specific topics investigated include: emergency cooling air provisions, cold start-up, hot start-up, normal and transient bay temperatures, and altitude design. The results indicate that many existing design criteria are overly conservative. The study findings suggest that reform of the existing thermal specification process is needed. Many of these reforms are applicable to the general aerospace industry and may result in significant acquisition cost savings as a result of the trend toward usage of commercial electronic parts. The reforms suggested include a new performance based thermal specification approach that increases emphasis on aircraft usage and frequency of occurrence. New transient design criteria are also recommended.
Potentials for Advanced Civil Transport Aircraft
In this lecture, a review of Boeing commercial transport models is presented in chronological order from the B-1 flying boat of 1919 to the 747. The problems of air transport systems including convenience, reliability, safety, comfort, performance, and financial and environmental costs are discussed. The probability of more severe future problems is considered, and suggestions are offered as to technology and system improvements which may need to be pursued if civil air transport systems are to continue to provide fast, convenient transportation with a high level of public acceptance.
Payload Attach System for the ISS - Development and Verification for EVA Operations
The process of developing a Payload Attach System (PAS) which will support a wide range of experimental and commercial payloads on the International Space Station (ISS) has experienced an interesting evolution during its design, development, test and evaluation (DDT&E) phase. This evolution has been caused in large measure by requirements intended to insure compatibility of the PAS with the extravehicular activity (EVA) crewmember during nominal and contingency operations in and around the PAS sites. As the design of the ISS transitioned from its Freedom predecessor, the effort to keep costs down by preserving as much of the original Freedom design as possible led to design decisions that challenged engineering thinking.
Machine Readable Coding of 777 Wing Fastening Systems Tooling
This paper presents a detailed overview of the advantages and benefits of using 2-D barcodes, called Data Matrix codes, on Wing Fastening System (WFS) Tooling. This project was conducted on, but not limited to, the 777 Wing Fastening System (GEMCOR) tooling including the drills, fingers, and button dies. This paper will show how using Data Matrix codes to identify tooling will: Eliminate excessive downtime due to the operator using the incorrect tooling for a given tool setup. Reduce the cost associated with panel rework due to the use of incorrect tooling. Reduce the cost associated with excessive tool inventory or last minute ordering to keep up with production needs. Track tool life information for each specific tool. Provide operators with an easy to use tool setup reference document. And provide the factory with the ability to trace panel damage or defects back to the specific machine and exact tooling used.
Evolution to Lean Manufacturing A Case Study of Boeing of Spokane
The evolution of a manufacturing organization toward "Lean" manufacturing does not necessarily come cheaply or quickly. It is the experience at Boeing that technology and different visions can dramatically impact the evolutionary process-consuming great amounts of time and resources. The Boeing of Spokane case study, where aircraft floor panels are manufactured1, is but one of several case studies that suggests moving to "Lean" manufacturing is usually done in large steps, not small ones. These initial steps can be costly unless the systems (equipment and workforce) are flexible. Workforce flexibility is dependent on the attitude in the workforce as both touch and support labor move from their comfort zone to try new approaches and job descriptions. The workforce must be properly motivated to make the change. The equipment must also be flexible in adapting to new line layouts, product mixes, and process change or large cost penalties will be incurred.
EVA Operations Using the Spacelab Logistics Pallet for Hardware Deliveries
There are a large number of space structures, orbital replacement units (ORUs) and other components that must be transported to orbit on a regular basis for the assembly and maintenance of the International Space Station (ISS). Some of this hardware will be ferried on the Spacelab Logistics Pallet (SLP), which has a long and reliable history of space flight successes. The carrier is well used, well qualified, and very adaptable for repeated use in accommodating cargoes of various sizes and shapes. This paper presents an overview of past, present and future hardware design solutions that accommodate EVA operations on the SLP. It further demonstrates how analysis techniques and design considerations have influenced the hardware development, EVA operations, and compliance with human engineering requirements for the SLP.
ETOPS and Service Ready Standards and Processes
A review of the current extended-range twin-engine operations (ETOPS) and the modifications to the standards and processes that led to its successful operational record has contributed to the feasibility of developing an airplane and preparing an operator for ETOPS at entry into service. The airplane and engine manufacturers and component suppliers have continued to expand on these modified standards and processes in their design, build, test and support programs to meet regulatory authority ETOPS requirements and to facilitate the development of regulatory authority criteria for substantiating ETOPS capability prior to entry into service. Airlines, in conjunction with the manufacturers, have also developed improved processes that meet regulatory authority requirements for preparing an operator to integrate a new airplane into its existing ETOPS programs at entry into service.
Composite Structure for Orbiting Space Stations
An overview of composite structure required for manned orbiting space stations is presented. Following a brief introduction of typical configurations and major subsystems, the major structural areas requiring composite structure and their particular functions and requirements are discussed. A summary weight breakdown is presented to assess the dependence of launch weight on these areas. To illustrate, the primary wall composite structure is presented in detail. The design interplay of boost, pressure, meteoroid, radiation, and thermal control requirements are presented. Resultant composite structure for each remaining major structural area is presented in summary form with a brief description of typical design compromises required.
Aircraft Noise, Its Source and Reduction
Since the advent of the turbojet engine, there has been much research by aircraft and engine manufacturers into the source of aircraft noise and its reduction. A review of this research is presented delineating the transition from turbojet engines to turbofan engines to the high by-pass ratio engines being introduced today, and the progress that has been made. Application of the current state-of-the-art to existing airplanes through engine replacement, nacelle retrofit, and flight procedures are also discussed.
A Generic Process for Human Model Analysis
The purpose of this paper is to provide a general process for human model analysis in the digital mock-up environment. It is also intended to provide some basic guidelines for the use and application of human models. This document is intended for anyone who will be performing human model analyses. It is assumed that the person performing the analysis has at least a minimal level of training in the use of the software involved. Note that this document is limited to anthropometric and ergonomic modeling.

Emily Mortimer's just hanging around.
(First Look) Woody Harrelson, Emily Mortimer, Eduardo Noriega, Kate Mara, Ben Kingsley, Thomas Kretschmann, Colin Stinton. Directed by Brad Anderson.
There is a romance about train travel. As we ride the rails, we are in a world of our own, looking out onto the world beyond. In this world, we meet our fellow travelers, not all of whom who are what they would seem to be at first glance.
Roy (Harrelson) and Jessie (Mortimer) are an American couple returning home after doing missionary work in China. They decide to take the long way home by taking the Transsiberian railway from China to Moscow.
At first, the trip seems to be a pleasant adventure as Jessie, a photographer, gets plenty of opportunity for fascinating snapshots while Roy gets to play tourist. Most of the train's staff speaks no English and are as surly as only Russians can be, but that doesn't diminish Roy's enthusiasm as they travel through exotic-sounding places that they'd only read about in Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky novels.
They meet another couple from the West; Carlos (Noriega), a carefree Spaniard, and Abby (Mara), his much-younger girlfriend. Where Carlos is worldly, Abby is naïve. They seem an odd couple, but then again so are Roy and Jessie. Roy is a straight-arrow churchgoer who is dedicated to charitable works and steam engines. He is child-like in many ways. Jessie has far more skeletons in her closet than most women her age. Wild in her younger years, she has a hard-fought sobriety that she clings to like a four-year-old girl clings to a favorite doll. She notices that Carlos is immediately attracted to her.
After a stop in Irkutsk, Jessie is alarmed to find that Roy has missed the train. Nobody has seen him and she can't get in contact with him. She gets off at the next stop to wait for him and Carlos and Abby volunteer to wait with her. Carlos offers to show Jessie a great place to take some pictures. They hop on a bus and walk into the countryside after getting off in a small village. What happens next is…well, I won't tell you to ruin the surprise.
As thrillers go, Hitchcock pretty much has the market cornered but director Anderson (The Machinist) shows a flair for the genre. He takes Hitchcockian elements from movies like The Lady Vanishes and North by Northwest and gives them a nice twist. Add to this the bleak Russian landscapes and the grim, suspicious people who inhabit it and you have the makings of a nice thriller.
Harrelson has become a really solid character actor, and he imbues Roy with the kind of naïveté that would have made his "Cheers" character Woody Boyd seem sophisticated and urbane by comparison. Mortimer, a veteran British actress, also does a solid job as Jessie, who is trying to overcome a sordid past. Kingsley is alternately charming and menacing as a Russian narcotics detective who, like nearly everybody on the train, isn't all that he seems to be. He's one of the best actors in the world, and he shows why he gets that kind of consideration here.
The movie is spine-tingling and leaves you on the edge of your seat until the very last frame. Rather than attract big stars to the leading roles, Anderson wisely cast solid character actors, every one of whom are outstanding actors in their own right. He allows his cast and the stark landscape to capture the imagination and attention of the viewers. The result is one of the better independent thrillers to come down the pipeline in a very long time.
WHY RENT THIS: The bleak Siberian landscapes and a solid cast make this one of the most intense thrillers to come out of the independent circuit for quite some time. Sir Ben Kingsley brings charm and menace to his role. Writer/director Anderson takes Hitchcock's plot elements and twists them into something special.
WHY RENT SOMETHING ELSE: Lots of sexual tension but no sex as such.
FAMILY VALUES: There is a fairly graphic torture scene and a murder that may be a little too intense for some.
TRIVIAL PURSUIT: Director Brad Anderson's first film was a horror short called Frankenstein's Planet of Monsters.
NOTABLE DVD EXTRAS: None listed.
TOMORROW: (500) Days of Summer

The crescent-shaped precinct is the city's premier art district. It has a large number of the city's heritage buildings and is full of museums, art galleries and educational institutions.like the Jehangir Art Gallery, the National Gallery of Modern Art, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya and The Arts Trust.
Each year, the area hosts the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival. The area is sandwiched between Mumbai Port's docklands to the east, Regal Cinema to the south, Fountain to the north and Oval Maidan to the west. The Bombay Stock Exchange is to its northeast.
The name Kala Ghoda means Black Horse, a reference to the presence of a black stone statue of King Edward VII (as the then Prince of Wales) mounted on a horse that was built by Jewish businessman and philanthropist Albert Abdullah David Sassoon, although this statue was removed from the precinct in 1965 and subsequently placed inside the Byculla Zoo.
The Esplanade Mansion, India's oldest surviving cast iron building, is in Kala Ghoda. Formerly known as Watson's Hotel, it was the site where films were introduced to India with a screening of the Lumiere Brothers Cinematograph in 1896. The offices of art publication, Marg, are on the third floor of the historic Army and Navy Building.

The title appears to indicate that it has something to do with Android development, but whether that's related to hardware or not, who knows. The only major recent rumors about new Android hardware from Google have been a 32GB version of its Nexus 7 tablet, but it is unlikely to host a whole event around that. There's always that Nexus device by LG that's been floating around.
The event follows Apple's iPad mini event on October 23rd and Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 event, which is happening in SF on the same day. Microsoft has a Surface event planned for NYC on October 25th. The last two Google and Microsoft events were also held on the same day, but also in the same city.

Sugar is dangerous to your health. Chiropractors and other natural health care practitioners have long warned us of sugar's ill effects on the human body. But now a new voice—that of the U.S. government—is telling us there is a valid reason to stay away from refined sugars.
On May 12, 2009 the Senate Finance Committee heard proposals to create a nationwide federal tax on sugary sodas, energy drinks and sweetened tea beverages. The three-cent tax per 12-ounce drink would generate an estimated $24 billion dollars in four years, money that would help finance President Obama's proposed universal health care plan.
This is not about adding another tax. This is about the government recognizing the dangers of sugar and trying to take a proactive stance while raising a few bucks to support their health care program. This plan should sound familiar to you because it's exactly what the government did to encourage people to stop smoking when they implemented a cigarette tax. In April 2009 the federal cigarette tax was increased to a whopping $1.01 per pack. This tax is expected to prompt at least 1 million of the 45 million adult smokers to kick the habit. But will a 3-cent sugary beverage tax be enough to encourage people to cut back on sugary beverages? Only time will tell.
Don't wait for government "encouragement" to make a healthy lifestyle change. Be smart. Chose to take care of your body and cut back on sugary beverages and snacks. Drink more water. And make sure to get adjusted regularly by your chiropractor to help maintain a healthy spine, which in turn helps maintain a healthy, happy body.

THE CORONA VIRUS – CONTRACTUAL ESCAPE CLAUSE?
Most contracts make provision for the termination of an agreement in the event of unforeseeable circumstances that prevent someone from fulfilling his obligations under a contract. This is also frequently referred to as an act of God or a force majeure (vis maior).
With the spreading COVID-19 virus, the pressing question for many people is the possible termination of an agreement in the event that one of the parties cannot fulfill their obligations due to this virus.
The force majeure clauses are dealt with by South African Courts through the prism of the contractual principle known as supervening impossibility. This principle stipulates that if performance becomes objectively impossible after the contract was concluded without any fault on the part of the parties thereto and as a result of unforeseen and unavoidable events, the obligation to perform and the reciprocal right to performance are extinguished.
The threshold requirements for supervening impossibility which relieves the debtor of its duties, are briefly that performance of an obligation by the debtor (e.g. the repayment of a loan, payment of rent, rendering tertiary education) becomes physically or legally impossible, after the contract was concluded, and not merely difficult, more burdensome or economically onerous. This excludes instances where the impossibility was due to the debtor's own fault. For instance, if a house is let and it is destroyed by fire without the fault of the tenant (e.g. by lightning) the lease is at an end and the tenant's obligation to pay rent falls away; where however the fire is caused as a result of the negligence of the tenant, the lease obligations will continue. This will similarly apply where, for example, an event booking cannot proceed because a prohibition was placed on gatherings of more than 100 persons in light of a hazardous virus, as we are experiencing at present worldwide.
It is considered that the effect of the prohibitions being put into place in respect of the spread of the Corona virus, may render certain obligations in agreements impossible to perform, and may, depending on the specific circumstances, relieve the parties from compliance with some or all of their agreements. Consult with an attorney if you have any concerns in this regard.

From the AW18 collection, the new Double Clutch / Crossbody Bag caught our eye because of its multifunctional uses and gorgeous details.
It's hard to believe but there are actually 7 ways to wear this bag! A few options we love are wearing across the body, or over the shoulder, with either one or both bags. Alternatively, you can use the clutch bags separately, either with or without the wristlet strap.
Bell & Fox have another great suggestion: "Or use the bags as a pouch for organising your essentials, and the larger bag as a case for your iPad mini, mini tablet or your Kindle."
The larger bag is made of super soft winter red Pebble leather, and the smaller bag is made in our winter red 'pony' with gold foil print. Both with gold colour trims, and their signature bell charm.
Please note: In the UK this item is only available for standard delivery (estimated 3-5 working days). It is available for international delivery as normal.

SEARCH-LAB, a security testing company based in Hungary discovered more than 50 vulnerabilities in network attached storage(NAS) and network video recorder(NVR) from D-Link.
A total of 53 vulnerabilities were identified in the latest firmware. Several of these vulnerabilities can be abused by attackers to execute code and get full control of a device.
These issues were reported to D-Link, many of which were patched and there are still some which remain unfixed.
It is recommended that users apply patches where available and are recommended not to expose the web interface of the DNS and DNR devices to the internet.

Q: Flex AS3 - Dispatching Event between classes I thought I had custom events nailed in Flex, but seemingly not. I am trying to loosely couple my application by dispatching events between classes instead of using horrid parent.parent.parent statements.
I have a ComboBox inside a custom HBox class... for simplicity I am doing the following
public function onComboBoxChange(event:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("dispatching event");
    dispatchEvent(new Event("hello"));
}

I have a custom List class that I would like to respond to the event...
public function CustomList() {
    //...
    this.addEventListener(FlexEvent.INITIALIZE, onInit);
}

private function onInit(event:FlexEvent):void {
    this.addEventListener("hello", onHello);
}

private function onHello(event:Event):void {
    trace("oh hello");
}

However the event listener is never called.
Both CustomList and CustomHBox have the same parent.
I was under the impression you could dispatchEvent from any object and all other active objects would be able to listen for it. Not that simple?
Thanks!

A: Your list either needs to call addEventListener("hello") on the combobox directly, or the combobox needs to dispatch the event with a bubbles argument of true.
Your concept of events is missing 'bubbling' you can read more about events in flash on the Adobe site.

A: You should still be fine if your event bubbles. The parent of CustomList and CustomHBox will add an event listener to CustomHBox for the event you're dispatching from the onComboBoxChange. The event handler should be in this parent class, and it'll pass the event / execute whatever code needs to be executed in CustomList ie:
public class Main {

public var customList:CustomList;
public var customHBox:CustomHBox;
//...
public function init():void {
   customHBox.addEventListener(MyCustomEvent.EVENT_NAME, myCustomEventHandler, false, 0, true);
}
//...
public function myCustomEventHandler(event:MyCustomEvent):void {
   customList.update(event.data);
}
//...
}

The reason why museums are rebranding ancient Egyptian remains
They are among the most popular exhibits in museums worldwide, with a name so resonant, blockbuster films have been built on it.
But some museums in Britain are now using words other than "mummy" to describe their displays of ancient Egyptian human remains.
Instead, they are starting to adopt terms such as "mummified person" or to use the individual's name to emphasise that they were once living people.

Using different language to describe these human remains can also distance them from the depiction of mummies in popular culture, which has tended to "undermine their humanity" through "legends about the mummy's curse" and by portraying them as "supernatural monsters," Jo Anderson, assistant keeper of archaeology at the Great North Museum: Hancock in Newcastle, northeast England, wrote in a blog posted in May 2021 that outlined her museum's language change.
Although the field "has been looking at the most appropriate way of displaying human remains for about 30 years…in terms of the use of the word 'mummy,' I think that's been more recent," Daniel Antoine, keeper of the department for Egypt and Sudan at London's British Museum, told CNN.

"We have human remains from around the world, and we may vary the terminology we use depending on, how they've been preserved," he said.
"We have natural mummies from pre-dynastic Egypt, so we'll refer to them as natural mummies because they haven't been artificially mummified."
Using the term "mummified remains" can encourage visitors to think of the individual who once lived, the museums told CNN.
Initial findings from visitor research into the Great North Museum: Hancock's display of the mummified Egyptian woman known as Irtyru found that many visitors "did not recognise that she was a real person," museum manager Adam Goldwater told CNN in a statement.

By "displaying her more sensitively," Goldwater added, "we hope our visitors will see her remains for what they really are, not an object of curiosity, but a real human who was once alive and had a very specific belief about how her body should be treated after death."
The museums vary in their approach to the word "mummy."
The British Museum told CNN in a statement that it "hasn't banned the use of the term 'mummy' and it is still in use across our galleries."
However, it added, "our recent displays used the term 'mummified remains of…' and include the name (when known) of the person who has been mummified…[to emphasise] that mummified remains are of people who once lived."

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh told CNN that the "term 'mummy' is modern, rather than ancient," and that it uses it more as a "descriptive adjective for objects; the terms 'mummy mask,' 'mummy case' and 'mummy bandage' are all used on our labels."
"Like many museums, important aspects of our collections and the way that we display them have been shaped by imperial and colonial thinking and actions that were based on racial and racist understandings of the world," the spokesperson added.
"In response, we are reflecting on how we represent imperial and colonial pasts to our audiences. In our galleries, we are making changes to displays and labels to address historical bias."
For example, the spokesperson said, the museum is altering the panel accompanying a mummified man to focus on "how ancient Egypt was co-opted into the idea of 'Western civilisation,' disconnecting Egypt's ancient heritage from modern Egypt."
The panel previously described how British colonial official Sir Colin Scott Moncrieff brought the remains back after working on dam-building projects on the Nile.

La Academia Nacional del Tango de la República Argentina fue creada el 28 de junio de 1990, por Decreto 1235 del Poder Ejecutivo Nacional con el fin de recopilar, ordenar, estudiar y salvar definitivamente de toda posibilidad de pérdida o destrucción el patrimonio cultural que el tango y sus expresiones derivadas significan. La Academia Nacional del Tango funciona en su sede de Avenida de Mayo 833, sobre el tradicional Café Tortoni. Esta depende del Ministerio de Educación y la Secretaría de Cultura y es la decimosexta en la historia de las Academias Nacionales.

Entre los considerandos del decreto se puede leer:
 "Que el Tango como arte musical, coreográfico, poético e interpretativo, lleva un siglo de vigencia inalterable como expresión auténtica y profunda del pueblo argentino."

 "Que esta vigencia creadora del Tango está en no menos de cincuenta mil (50.000) obras compuestas, editadas y estrenadas y que existen, desde fines del siglo XIX, más de cincuenta mil versiones grabadas de dichas obras en diversos soportes fonográficos, cinematográficos y de otro tipo en la República Argentina y en todo el mundo."

 "Que dicha creación del Tango ha representado, como pocas artes nacionales y desde principios de este siglo, a la República Argentina en todo el mundo."

 "Que es de toda justicia que el Estado le otorgue la significación que corresponde a esta manifestación cultural, ratificando el amor y la adhesión plena que nuestro pueblo naturalmente le concede."

Actividades
La Academia cuenta con una nutrida biblioteca y realiza periódicamente seminarios, plenarios, cursos y exposiciones. También ha producido una serie de publicaciones en diferentes formatos (libros, revistas, cuadernillos) y en forma mensual y permanente, los periódicos "El Chamuyo" y "El Chamuyito".

Assault In the Ring
Assault In the Ring revisits a boxing scandal considered one of the sport's darkest hours, and traces a man's despairing journey following his alleged involvement in a criminal plot. The documentary examines new evidence about this boxing match turned 30-minute assault, and reveals much more about the pre-fight activities of Luis Resto, his trainer Panama Lewis and the athletic commission representatives.
On June 16, 1983, undefeated prizefighter Billy Collins Jr. set out to fulfill every boxer's dream of fighting in the world's most famous arena – Madison Square Garden. Collins' opponent, Luis Resto of the Bronx, moving up from welterweight, had his own dream of rising to the occasion in front of hometown fans. But what began as a match that Nashville native Collins was favored to win changed both athletes' lives – ending Collins' career dreams and landing Resto in prison.
Resto seemingly reached a fighter's ultimate goal by upsetting Collins, but his post-fight victory celebration was short-lived when it was discovered that the padding had been illegally removed from Resto's gloves by his trainer, Panama Lewis, before the fight. Resto was subsequently incarcerated and banned from the sport, while the brutally beaten Collins went into a tragic downward spiral.
Resto gives his account of the story in the documentary. Lewis, whose official career as a trainer came to an end that night, was also subsequently banned, and speaks for the first time in Assault In The Ring about the events of the fight and their impact.
