Der Zukunftsfonds der Republik Österreich soll in Projekte fördern, die entweder Verbrechen aus der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus im Gebiet Österreichs untersuchen oder zukunftsorientiert für Toleranz und gegen Diskriminierung ausgerichtet sind.

Geschichte und Kuratorium

Der Fonds besteht seit dem 1. Jänner 2006, sein Kapital sind die Restmittel des Österreichischen Versöhnungsfonds.
Von 2006 bis 2010 war Landeshauptmann a. D. Waltraud Klasnic Vorsitzende des Kuratoriums des Zukunftsfonds, seit Jänner 2011 ist der frühere Präsident des Wiener Stadtschulrates, Kurt Scholz Vorsitzender. Generalsekretär war von 2006 bis 28. Februar 2011 Richard Wotava, am 1. März 2011 wurde Herwig Hösele sein Nachfolger.

Volumen und Projekte

Der Fonds wurde Ende 2005 als verzehrender Fonds mit 20 Millionen Euro dotiert. Jährlich können 2 Millionen Euro an Fördermitteln vergeben werden. Mit wechselnden Forschungsschwerpunkten sollen gezielt Lücken in der Geschichtsforschung geschlossen werden. Die ersten Schwerpunkte waren "ÖsterreicherInnen im Nationalsozialismus" (2007), "Österreichs Rolle bei der jüdischen Zuwanderung aus der Sowjetunion" (2008) und das Verhältnis zwischen Österreich und seinen Nachbarn (2010).

Die Projekte werden zunächst durch einen Projektförderungsbeirat begutachtet. Die endgültige Entscheidung über die Förderung trifft ein fünfköpfiges Kuratorium als oberstes Organ des Zukunftsfonds.

In den Jahren 2006 bis 2011 wurden über 1000 Projekte behandelt, wovon 632 genehmigt wurden. Der Großteil von ihnen ist in Österreich angesiedelt. Es wurden aber auch Forschungsarbeiten in anderen Ländern gefördert, u. a. in den USA, Israel, Deutschland, Polen, Lettland, Ungarn, Tschechien, Frankreich, Argentinien, Brasilien und Venezuela.

Gustav Ritter von Kahr, né le  à Weißenburg en Bavière et mort le  à Dachau, est un homme politique allemand d'idéologie réactionnaire et séparatiste. Il est chef du gouvernement de la Bavière du  au  et à nouveau en 1923, quand il organise un putsch pour la sécession de la Bavière qui échoue.

Biographie
Après ses études de droit, Gustav von Kahr travaille dans le service juridique de l'administration de Munich et Kaufbeuren de 1888 à 1902, date à laquelle il est nommé au ministère bavarois de l'Intérieur et est responsable de l'art populaire et de la protection des monuments.

Ses sympathies de droite le poussent à former dans une brasserie de Munich une « faction ». En 1917, il devient président du district de Haute-Bavière. En 1920, après l'échec de putsch de Kapp, Kahr est élu ministre-président d'un gouvernement de droite en Bavière. En tant que membre du Parti populaire bavarois (BVP), il lutte pour une indépendance de la Bavière et le rétablissement de la monarchie.

En , il proteste contre l'état d'urgence décidé par le président du Reich Friedrich Ebert sur l'ensemble du territoire puis démissionne de sa fonction de ministre-président pour retrouver celle de président de district.

Le , Kahr est nommé Generalstaatskommissar (commissaire général pour la Bavière) avec des pouvoirs dictatoriaux.

Le , lors d'une réunion du clan von Kahr dans la brasserie Bürgerbräukeller à Munich, Adolf Hitler, Ernst Röhm, Hermann Göring et Rudolf Hess font irruption avec une centaine de SA. Ils prennent en otage les chefs de droite et les obligent, à la pointe du fusil, à accepter le programme de Hitler pour prendre le pouvoir en Allemagne. Gustav von Kahr, le plus influent, promet son appui. Mais lorsque Hitler marche sur le Quartier Général de la Reichswehr en Bavière lors de ce « putsch de la brasserie », von Kahr prévient l'armée que Hitler et ses SA veulent prendre le pouvoir. Résultat : Hitler et ses partisans sont emprisonnés. Quand le chef nazi passe en jugement, les plans de von Kahr sont révélés, et il est forcé de démissionner en 1924.

Pour ce que Hitler considéra comme une trahison, Gustav von Kahr fut arrêté lors de la nuit des Longs Couteaux le  et brutalisé lors de son transfert à Dachau, où il fut abattu.

Now, this is outrageous – A twitter user tweeted today that his sister had ordered an iPod, but to her surprise she was delivered 2 stones inside the box.
Twitter user with handle @nikhilsekhar tweeted the following accompanying picture of the said delivery.
Now, this kind of a thing happening is outrageous – and it is good to see that Flipkart has owned the responsibility and is going to offer an immediate replacement of the product.
However, I have a question in mind – What if the customer is lying?
Please bear in mind, I am not talking about this incidence, but putting across a theoretical situation.
What if a buyer actually replaces the delivery (after he has received the correct product) and then alleges that Flipkart has delivered him with stones (or whatever) inside it? What happens in that case. If you think that such kind of thing will not happen…you are wrong. There are many out there waiting to take advantage of the system..
Flipkart is in no position to actually contend that they have delivered it correctly, neither can they challenge the customer (and if they do, it will be one big social media mess).
So what happens then? Would love to hear reader's views on this!
Why don't they implement see through covers for packing.? It'll be convenient. If the thing is not what they ordered. They can easily not accept the delivery itself. And with that ur complaint will be true.
Has any solution to this problem come up yet?
flip kart delivered me the package with hard stones instead of my 15k lenovo mobile.
If you think this is a hoax and customer is wrong please change your mind. I just received a stone instead of my phone. I have ordered close to 80K on flipkart last week a MOTO phone for my brothers son.
Another Tab 2 is in shipment. I have so many gadgets and making a very decent living I dont have any business to cheat anybody.
I am not posting the pictures or order number. I am just awaiting to see what Flipkart comes back with. I am still with Flipkart because companies like this have become our identity.
Lets see how this unfolds in the next few days and will keep this forum informed.
I've ordered stuff over 25k on flipkart & nothing of this sort has happened with me nor my friends. Its a tough call with the reputation flipkart is known to have. If the local courier service are behind this, there would be signs of tampered packing which only the customer would know.
It would be interesting to know how does flipkart handle such situations which are not published on social media. If one such incidence has happened then I am sure flipkart would be dealing with 100s if not 1000s such cases on a daily basis.
So, what is their way of handling these situations and why is a complaint on social media handled in a different way than a complaint through other routes?
Companies will do much better if they are as proactive in resolving issues as they are when the issue is reported on social media.
Since we are talking of fraud here (prior intention of theft) – analytics would be a useful tool. Based on data, it would be possible to build a model that would predict the likelihood of a transaction being fraudulent. This of course assumes that data is already in place. The challenge is such transactions are rare (in every industry) and hence the challenge in building the said model. But companies (e-comm, credit cards, to name a couple) are doing it nevertheless.
E-commerce company can put holographic verified tape(seal) across the box opening, and this activity should be done in front of camera's by their quality department in their office just before the handover of the products to customer. And when delivery boy delivers the product to customer he should be asked to take picture of the product with clear visibility that tape is intact. And in addition customer should be advised to check the verification seal, and confirm by signature that it was intact at time of delivery.
Atleast with Ipod or iphone, deceiving is not possible. if the flipkart indeed delivers the ipod and customer replacing the same via stones, then he will be caught while registering the product with itunes.
I am sure, they would have questioned the delivery guy by now. If he was innocent and the customer made it all up, then FIR should be lodged against such customer.
What e-commerce companies will do if these kind of things start happening on regular basis….that is the question..
There have been few cases in the past like this with flipkart but they are very rare. This issue in particular has a long story attached with it. Flipkart actually has a few checks in place for such cases and some are easily caught. This happend inspite of them. Initial investigation kind of gives you impression that the interchange has been done by a delivery guy who knows a bit about the checks and systems in place.
The issue is actually taken very seriously and problem is attacked in a way different from what some people here are suggesting. Given the scale of flipkart, some of the suggestions might not be practical in each and every cases (as rightly pointed out by some of them as in gifts and customer not at home) and the training required for each of the delivery executive will be a different undertaking.
2 Both take a picture with the box then the delivery man can leave.
In recent time so much fake customer also came into this e business.I am using Flipkart from last 3yrs and ordered almost 35 products….BOOKS,PEN DRIVE,ROUTER,PRINTER,EHDD, CORTEGE,MOVIES,MICRO OVEN.MOBILE,TABLET,SHAVER,MODEM,HAIR STRAIGHTENER,SHOES….ETC so many frnd of mine also ordering even my better half also ordering after seen me so i never had a experiences like this even i used in 3 difrnt metro also, So flipkart u have to rethink about the indian customer.In this story its looks like a MOVIE.but we cant say directly to anyone. 100 mein 90 beiman fir vi mera bharat mahan…..we are blamed political leader only but never judge ourself…….
Atleast Flipkart taking the responsibility is a good thing here. I do see your point and there might be a case in the future where Flipkart might have to start verifying the delivery by one means or the other to counter cases like these.
Some mistake has been done,, which flipkart immediately resolved it. These are signs of good companies.
No doubt, it is a very tricky situation fir FlipKart.
I think the question relates to the basics of the goods delivered to home kinda business. As Yash writes in a detailed way, the eventuality is a part and parcel of the business model where goods are delivered to your home.
It depends on how a businessman handles such situation. Like flip cart did. Like in Yash's case Pizza Hut did. I also had similar situation last month. (Though here its not about regular or Thin crust. While taking order they always ask which one and deliver same). They promise to deliver order in 20 min. But last month it arrived after 50 min and our guests left. When the Pizza came, we showed our displeasure to the delivery guy. He immediately called their customer service and explained the situation. The customer service guy apologized and offered two large pizza of our choice toppings when ever we want in next two days.
Flipkart and everyone in their club will need to invest in RFID technology to identify the weakest link in the delivery chain.
RFID tags will help ascertain where exactly the product has left its packaging.
Until this is implemented, they have no choice but to shoulder the responsibility of damage/loss in transit without asking any questions.
The inside walls of the box have no stone scratches, no mud stains. without any padding, open stones like that can't keep the box as clean during logistics. How does it get torn so much on the bottom and a clean top inside?
I agree with Saurabh. Bigbasket.com follows a very cool approach to delivery. When the delivery guy reaches and hands over the items, he will give you a page that is open on his phone. You need to key in the security pin to confirm that the delivery is done.
Yes, exact same thing cannot be done, because then it will mean that person has to be present everytime to collect.
Many a times, FK and other e-commerce sites deliver to neighbours as well, (when allowed by customer). In this case, then this becomes a liability.
But if a culture is followed that "This is online purchase, only the customer should accept, check and then confirm", then this issue will get solved. But this means that delivery guys need to be trained in this (not a big task).
I feel that company such as FK will not do this. But then this needs to be found out. The way the photo is shown, did the custom try and jiggle the box? Coz that would have given it away, (if the stones were in the same open condition as they are being shown). Generally all such products come in neatly wrapped packaging disallowing them to move from its position. This is something which should be asked.
Nitin, Agreed with your point. How could stones be in this position? My thoughts are same as of yours. When I receive any product, I cross check it in front of the delivery man and then sign the papers [and that's what most buyers do and that's so natural]. The boy in trying to deceive the company [ buy 1 get 1 free :P].
So far as FK policies concern, they should change it. They should ask their delivery man to verify the product/s in front of the customer. That's the simplest way to escape from this problem.
RFID systems are to track. Not validate the delivery box has not been tampered or not. Unless the RFID is inside the mobile phone.
But… I guess it would be cost effective if RFID is stuck on the product right? it could be traced till the delivery ( I am talking about only for high value items).
To start with eCommerce vendor will have to eat it and put it under pilferage. World over retail business has fairly establishment number of pilferage loss which includes theft, bad stock, stock taking and billing errors etc. That means some fraudulent customers will succeed in duping the company. That will have to be taken as one cost of doing the business. If the frequency increases, companies will have to put in place safe guards like insuring every package and in case of a item not received claim by a customer the responsibility will be that of the insurer/delivery company. The logistics company may then force the customers to open the package in front of their delivery personnel to make sure the customer is not lying.
I am sure a tiny fraction of customers do engage in unethical practices to get something for free or get two for the price of one but that number must be so small that it is not worth wasting time and money worrying about them. If the number becomes significantly big, ecommerce vendors will surely come up with a way to combat it. Necessity is the mother of the invention.
How about a scanner used by the delivery boy to show the content inside the shipment.?
What if the courier guy has changed it?
@pavanaja Remember, Flipkart has its own logistics department unlike others… So if it was done by the courier people, it will obviously be Flipkart's own people!
I doubt that Arun. At some places (like mine) Flipkar's logistics department doesn't handle all the job and instead they give it to a courier company. In my area they have several times used FirstFlight.
But your're right… I wonder what would happen if the customer is on the bad side. After all, with pics being posted to social networks like Twitter it can become really messy for company to handle such situations.
It's an idea building post for many who would like to have a product as well as the refund in the mean time breaking the company's reputation.
Now it's a time to introduce new system to help the eCommerce businesses.
Interesting point you have brought up Arun.While such cases might happen as a brand you will have to look at the frequency of such instances. Also, you'd have to bank on the authenticity of your customers and how honest they are. For guys who are on Social Media and have been there for a while, I doubt if they would indulge into such activities.
@daksh – I agree with you that frequency and customer honesty needs to be looked at… But imagine it is customers 1st order…and order value is to the tune of Rs. 40k or Rs. 50k. If many buyers end up doing it… Flipkart will drown… It is not an easy question to answer… Let me tell you that!
I agree with you, but usually customer's are not allowed to open the product on delivery. However, the photo thing would work great to prove authenticity. But then, what if the customer wants to gift it to someone & would not want to open it?
I always do this. I never take delivery without opening the box especially of expensive items. If they have nothing to hide box should be opened. If you don't then I don't take delivery you don't get my money as simple as that. Fortunately police station is close by I even tell them we can call the police as witness. I have had no problems so far.
It's written 160GB at the top of the box(in the picture). This is ridiculous.
Why? iPods dont come in 160GB size?
160gb comes in iPod classic model – not the latest ones.


The Earth's magnetic field is shaped by the complex motion of molten metals in the Earth's core and by interactions with electric particles coming from the Sun. The boundaries of the field are constantly shifting and researchers have found evidence to suggest that the edge of the magnetosphere can vibrate like a drum.
This idea was first proposed 45 years ago. When the outer boundary of the field, known as the magnetopause, is struck by solar plasma, ripples propagate across the surface. When these vibrations reach the poles they are reflected back. This creates an interference pattern known as a standing wave pattern, just like how a drum's sound is produced.
As reported in Nature Communications, this is the first time that the effect has been observed and the measurement is consistent with the theory. The cause of the standing wave pattern can either be a powerful hit from the solar wind or more subtle interactions between Earth's magnetic field and the particles in the solar wind.
"There had been speculation that these drum-like vibrations might not occur at all, given the lack of evidence over the 45 years since they were proposed. Another possibility was that they are just very hard to definitively detect," lead author Dr Martin Archer, a space physicist at Queen Mary University of London, said in a statement.
The observations were possible thanks to a constellation of five NASA THEMIS satellites. They were in the right place at the right time and saw a strong isolated jet of plasma hitting the magnetopause. They were able to study the effect of this impulse and measure the oscillation within the magnetosphere.
There is still much that we don't know about this phenomenon. We don't know how often it occurs or even if planets with strong magnetic fields, such as Jupiter and Saturn, experience similar interactions. Understanding the phenomenon gives us important clues about the development of space weather around our planet, and how to keep our electronics safe.

Ed note: Halti leads are controversial in some quarters. The thinking is that when a very willful dog wears a Halti or similar gear and he turns his head too fast or too hard, the Halti may cause cervical damage. That said, many dogs have worn these with no injuries and have been well-served by them. Use due diligence when using a head collar and know your dog.
Duffy is not trustworthy around small animals. One evening a small off-lead and unattended dog approached while we were out on a walk. In a flash, Duffy lunged forward, grabbed the dog, and shook it in his jaws fully intending to kill it. Luckily, the dog escaped and a tragedy was averted.
This incident gave me great pause for thought about Duffy's prey-drive and how best to handle it. Although I am new to this breed, after living with Duffy, I am convinced that a hound of this nature (extremely high prey-drive) cannot be completely trained out of this behaviour. Although some amount of training might come in handy (i.e, commands such as "Drop it" or "Easy"), one has to accept that a small number of such high prey hounds do exist. Hence, I do everything in my power to ensure that a situation like the above would not recur. Sadly, off-lead dogs are common in my neighbourhood; in a perfect world, all dogs would be under human control.
When I took Duffy to introductory obedience classes, my instructor suggested that I try a device called a Halti-lead simply because Duffy is such a large, head-strong male. A Halti-lead (also called a head collar) closely resembles and works on the same premise as a horse halter. The instructor explained that if a person has control of an animal's head, then the person has control of the animal. The Halti-lead fastens behind the dog's ears and has a strap that crosses the bridge of the nose. The lead snaps into a loop that hangs below the dog's chin. The Halti-lead works because when the dog pulls, pressure is exerted across the nose, making it uncomfortable for the dog. Dogs that continually pull on the lead are completely controllable when wearing a Halti-lead. The Halti-lead is often more effective than a metal choker-collar because some dogs pull hard even when wearing a choke collar This device is endorsed by veterinarians and obedience instructors as humane and effective even though it can damage a dog's larynx over time.
For many months after the obedience class ended, Duffy wore the Halti-lead. Recently, I returned to the safety-collar and on that fateful evening, that is what Duffy was wearing. With the safety collar, he was easily able to lunge forward and grab the dog; the pressure exerted on his neck was not a deterrent and the collar did nothing to break his forward momentum. However, I wholeheartedly believe that the Halti-lead would have prevented Duffy from being able to lunge. My reasoning is twofold; First: Duffy is more sensitive to the pressure exerted on his nose and he stops immediately when the pressure builds; with a conventional collar, he is able to pull longer and harder! Second: When Duffy lunged forward, the Halti-lead would have turned his head 180 degrees because it pulls on his head, not on his neck like a conventional collar. This means that any time that he pulls suddenly, his head gets swiveled around, breaking his focus and his momentum. After all, it's hard to chase something when you're suddenly facing the other direction!
As a precaution, Duffy will wear the Halti-lead from this day forward. Like the safety collar, there is very little chance that a hound can back out of the Halti-lead. However, an initial proper fit is essential. Be sure to check the adjustment of the straps periodically. There is an adjustment period when your dog first wears a Halti-lead. Most dogs resist at first, but they quickly learn that they are the ones that control the pressure!
In a short time, a pleasant walk with a loose lead is guaranteed. If your hound wears one, be prepared to explain what it is and how it works to the general public because many people mistake it for a muzzle.
The Halti-lead is available in pet supply stores and catalogues. It retails for about $14 (Canadian) and $12 U.S.
Duffy occasionally wears the Halti-lead but he more frequently wears a safety collar. I use the Halti-lead if someone else is going to walk him because it gives them much greater control over him. Duffy still wears the Halti-lead if we are going to a place (pet food store, for instance) where it's possible we'll run into small animals.
Duffy does not mind wearing the Halti-lead at all; I believe he associates it with his obedience class, which he dearly loved, or with going for a W-A-L-K, the highlight of his day.


What is an Infinity bottle?
Maybe you've heard the term infinity bottle used in a video or on a forum but didn't know what it actually meant?
Maybe this is the first time you've ever heard of an infinity bottle?
I've heard some people call it a solera bottle or even a living bottle. Infinity bottle is a lot more common.
I like to tell people an infinity bottle is your living, breathing journal of your whiskey journey.
It's an experiment and should be treated as such.
So there's a few ways to get started and that's totally up to you on how you want to do your own.
You can start in a small bottle and progressively increase in size as you fill it up. You can start with an empty bottle and add equal amounts of whiskies, or you can start with a base of a whiskey and add to that instead.
Then there's the everything bottle (which is what I do) where you pour something from everything you have or some people will do 3 separate bottles for: Bourbon + Smokey/Islay whiskies + Everything else, or simply 2 bottles for: Smokey whiskies vs Everything else.
My only rule for my personal bottle (and the Brolic Whiskey bottle) is that I only add from full size bottles I own and that aren't sample sized bottles.
Whichever way you decide to go, the bottle will evolve constantly as you add whiskies. There will be times the bottle tastes amazing, while other times it's not going to be enjoyable....just keep going. Taste it randomly (small amounts) or at certain milestones. Ex: For the Brolic Whiskey blend we won't taste from it until we hit 100 subscribers on Youtube.
So help us reach that goal by subscribing and sharing our videos.
Do you have your own infinity bottle?
Will you now be starting your own infinity bottle?

By Josh Dickey 2014-10-15 17:01:59 UTC
LOS ANGELES — Warner Bros. dropped a motherlode of movie news on Wednesday, from Harry Potter spinoffs to major DC Comics films and Lego Movie sequels galore.
The announcements were made at the Time Warner investor conference in Burbank — a curious choice, as each of these films could have dominated a day's news cycle — but clearly Time Warner wanted to present a united message, including the announcement that HBO would soon be available as a standalone streaming service.

David Saks: MORTGAGE FRAUD RINGLEADER JAILED SIX YEARS FOR SCAM INVOLVING 70 HOMES
MORTGAGE FRAUD RINGLEADER JAILED SIX YEARS FOR SCAM INVOLVING 70 HOMES
Mortgage Fraud Ringleader Jailed for Scam Involving 70 Homes
Michael Anthony Prieskorn, 37, Ellendale, Minnesota, was sentenced on charges stemming from a mortgage fraud scheme that resulted in losses of at least $18 million for mortgage lenders.
On May 10, 2012, United States District Court Judge Paul A. Magnuson sentenced the defendant for orchestrating the scheme, which involved the purchase of approximately 70 residential properties in Florida and Minnesota between December 2006 and April 2007. Prieskorn was sentenced to 72 months in prison on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of engaging in an illegal monetary transaction. Prieskorn was indicted on January 20, 2010, and pleaded guilty on March 23, 2010.
As previously reported by Mortgage Fraud Blog, Prieskorn admitted he and others conspired to obtain mortgage loan proceeds by luring buyers to purchase properties. In return, Prieskorn promised the buyers $5,000 for every property purchased. He also promised to make all mortgage payments and pay all other bills associated with the properties for a specific term, after which, he would sell the properties at no cost to the original buyers or "investors." Prieskorn maintained that the mortgage loans were risk free to their investors, knowing all the while the 20 investors were responsible for the loans. Following the closing of these real estate transactions, many investors defaulted on their mortgage loans and were forced into short sales or foreclosure. Yet, Prieskornadmitted receiving at least $1 million in gross receipts as a result of the scam.
In pleading guilty, Prieskorn also admitted concealing from mortgage lenders that he temporarily deposited funds into the bank accounts of some investors to misrepresent the true financial status of those buyers, thereby inducing lender approval of the mortgage loans. He also concealed from the 20 mortgage lenders that he paid the down payments and closing costs for the investors.
In furtherance of the scheme, Prieskorn transferred money, by wire, into investors' bank accounts and caused the faxing of fraudulent mortgage loan applications to potential mortgage lenders. He also caused lenders to make wire transfers of mortgage loan proceeds on related real estate transactions. Specific to the monetary transaction count, Prieskorn structured financial transactions to conceal that he was the recipient of funds from the fraud. Those transactions included a $225,000 transfer on May 7, 2007.
On February 8, 2011, Judge Magnuson sentenced Prieskorn's co-defendant Richard Matthew Laho, 55, Buffalo, Minnesota, to five years of probation on one count of mail fraud. He was also indicted on January 20, 2010, and pleaded guilty on July 8, 2010.
In his plea agreement, Laho admitted that in March and April of 2007, he took part in the scheme by participating in a real estate purchase in Naples, Florida. In that transaction, the buyer was given $5,000 for purchasing the property and falsely told that all mortgage payments and other bills associated with the property would be paid for him. He also was told that the property eventually would be sold as an investment. Laho admitted misleading the lender into believing, however, that the buyer was intending to be the true owner and resident of the home. The property eventually went into foreclosure, resulting in a loss to the mortgage lender of between $490,000 and $690,000.
"Mortgage fraud creates so much harm to individuals, businesses, and our economy, but today's sentencing is a strong reminder how serious our courts consider this criminal activity," said Kelly R. Jackson, Special Agent in Charge, IRS-Criminal Investigation, (IRS-CID), St. Paul Field Office Field office. "IRS-CID is committed to 'following the money trail' to ensure that those who engage in these illegal activities are vigorously investigated and brought to justice."
This case was the result of an investigation by the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation Division, the Eagan Police Department, the Minnesota Department of Commerce, the U.S. Secret Service, the Minnesota Financial Crimes Task Force, and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. It was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tracy L. Perzel and Robert M. Lewis.
This law enforcement action is in part sponsored by the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. The task force was established to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. It includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general, and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch and, with state and local partners, investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.

Six Years for 70 homes seems like a pretty good deal. I think he got off pretty easy...

We all have little imperfections we want to fix with plastic surgery. For such procedures to be a success, you have to choose your plastic surgeon wisely. So here are a few useful tips on finding the best plastic surgeon in Toronto.
Before settling in for breast augmentation or liposuction, determine if the doctor is registered to practice in Ontario. There are several plastic surgery boards Toronto surgeons can be affiliated with. They include the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, The American Board of Plastic Surgeons, and the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons.
To be registered in either of the boards, the plastic surgeon must have successfully practiced plastic and reconstructive surgeries. These boards are also responsible for licensing approval. The Royal College of Physicians &amp Surgeons can also provide the performance history of each surgeon on request. So find out if the said surgeon has any history of malpractice or misconduct in their years of practice.
This information gives you peace of mind and an assurance that the surgeon knows what they are doing. Also go for that doctor who makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. A friendly surgeon is easy to interact with and ask questions. Ask as many questions as you can; from how the procedure is done to how often they perform that procedure when they are on call. Find out if the surgeon has hospital privileges as well. It means they are well known and respected in that medical institution.
Lastly go for a Toronto plastic surgeon that is realistic with the outcome. Remember, this surgery will permanently alter your appearance so be scared of that surgeon who says they can perform multiple procedures all at once. Cosmetic surgery cannot be rushed unless the surgeon is working with a team of other professional certified surgeons.
There may be no correct way of choosing the right plastic surgeon, but these tips will help you in finding the right plastic surgeon in Toronto for you. Make sure that the surgeon is registered and licensed, are friendly, and are realistic with the respective surgical procedures.

Q: remove rows with no reference in other table I am having trouble writing a linq query because I am new to it. I have two tables RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local and RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local_Bands.
Subject_Local contains pkSummarySubjectLocalID and Subject_Local_Bands contains a foreign key reference to that table (fkSummarySubjectlocalID). Subject_Local contains unused or orphaned rows that will never be used. What I want to do is remove the unused / orphaned rows if they do not exist in Subject_Local_Bands.
For example if we look at these sample tables:
RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local       RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local_Bands
pkSummarySubjectLocalID               pkSummarySubjectLocalBandID fkSummarySubjectLocalID  Score
1                                     1                           2                        10
2                                     2                           4                        20
3                                     3                           5                        30
4
5

In these two tables you can see that the Subject_Local.pkSummarySubjectLocalIDs 1 and 3 in are never referenced in Subject_Local_Bands. I want to remove them from Subject_Local.
Here is my current LINQ code that does not work
var local = customerContext.RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local;
var localBands = customerContext.RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local_Bands;
IEnumerable<RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local> redundantSubjectLocalRows;

redundantSubjectLocalRows = from subjLocal in customerContext.RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local
                            join subjLocalBands in customerContext.RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local_Bands on
                                 subjLocal.pkSummarySubjectLocalID equals subjLocalBands.fkSummarySubjectLocalID
                            where subjLocalBands.fkSummarySubjectLocalID != subjLocal.pkSummarySubjectLocalID
                            select subjLocal.pkSummarySubjectLocalID;

customerContext.RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local.RemoveRange(redundantSubjectLocalRows);

I want to use RemoveRange so I need to pass it an IEnumerable of my context class RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local but I don't know how to create that using a linq query that accomplishes the specified conditions. Any help?

A: Arguably inelegant, but this should be effective:
HashSet<int> unorphanedIds new HashSet<int>(
    RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local_Bands
    .Select(b=>b.fkSummarySubjectLocalID));

var toRemove = customerContext.RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local
    .Where(r=>!unorphanedIds.Contains(r.pkSummarySubjectLocalID));

customerContext.RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local.RemoveRange(toRemove);
customerContext.SaveChanges();

A: var local = customerContext.RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local;
var localBands = customerContext.RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local_Bands;

you should use except. A except B returns all of the values that are in A but not in B.
we select all local.pkSummarySubjectLocalID except localBands.fkSummarySubjectLocalID, the result is all pkSummarySubjectLocalID that are in local but not in localBands.
var orphanedIds = local.Select(x => x.pkSummarySubjectLocalID)
                      .Except(localBands.Select(x => x.fkSummarySubjectLocalID));

then we join this result (orphanedIds) with local and get all of orphanedlocals.
var orphaned = from l in local
      join id in orphanedIds on l.pkSummarySubjectLocalID equals id
      select l;

now it is time to remove all orphan locals.
local.RemoveRange(orphaned);
customerContext.SaveChanges();

A: Ryan,
You can create your RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local class using the following statement from your LINQ query.
public void TestMethod()
{
    DataSet lDataSet = new DataSet();

    var lOutput = (from lRosterSummaryBand in lDataSet.Tables[0].AsEnumerable()
                   select new RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local
                   {
                       //Assign the field value for each row to the model property specified.
                       //Make sure to use the correct data types specified from the data base.
                       pkSummarySubjectLocalID = lRosterSummaryBand.Field<System.Int64>("pkSummarySubjectLocalID") // Column name from DataTable / DataSet
                   }).ToList();//Make sure to set the output as an enumeration
}

The data is stored in a var collection but you can cast them as your object with ().
It is noteworthy to state that when LINQ assigns the values to this var collection it does it by reference not by value. Any changes made to the var will alter the DataTable/DataSet.
Alternatively you could also do the following. This will left join your two tables, assign them to models and only select the rows where your sub table is null/no value.
var lRowsMarketForDeletion = (from lSubjectLocal in lDataSet.Tables[0].AsEnumerable()
                                      join lSubjectLocalbands in lDataSet.Tables[1].AsEnumerable() on lSubjectLocal.Field<System.Int64>("pkSummarySubjectLocalID") equals lSubjectLocalbands.Field<System.Int64>("pkSummarySubjectLocalID") into lJoinedGroup
                                      from lJoinedRow in lJoinedGroup.DefaultIfEmpty(new RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local { pkSummarySubjectLocalID = 0 })
                                      where lJoinedRow.pkSummarySubjectLocalID == 0
                                      select new RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local
                                      {
                                          pkSummarySubjectLocalID = lRosterSummaryBand.Field<System.Int64>("pkSummarySubjectLocalID")
                                      }).ToList();

customerContext.RosterSummaryData_Subject_Local.RemoveRange(lRowsMarketForDeletion);

string preSignedURL = preSignedBuilder.BuildPreSignedURL(bucketName, entityS3Key);

AWS lambda calling my api contoller should be able to download the file.

A: I don't know about C#, but with Python we need to set also the "method" when we generate the presigned URL. In the example below it uses get_object.
s3_client = session.client('s3')
try:
    response = s3_client.generate_presigned_url('get_object',

I am binding several drop downs and then setting their selected values using the val method. There is an intermittent issue where by one or some of the dropdowns do not get their selected indexes set - some times they all work.
I've tracked the issue to the each loop on line 1677 of jquery-1.4.4.js where it does not find any option elements, however checking the html, and running a .content() reveals there are plenty of option elements.
The issue is even more difficult to track because there seems to be no pattern as to which dropdrop/dropdowns will fail to get their selected values set, sometimes the first one will fail, sometimes to second, sometimes all of them, sometimes none... etc. etc.
means the code works everytime so i'm reasonably sure its an issue with Jquery.

ResilYouth
There will be 250 million climate refugees by the year 2050, according to UN estimates. There is an urgent need to support youth in vulnerable communities from being victims of climate change to co-building their communities to be resilient. ResilYouth is a participatory action toolkit to engage youth in communities most vulnerable to climate change, helping them learn about, co-plan and implement community projects of resilience. The idea was developed in August 2017 by a team of five entrepreneurs during the inaugural UNLEASH - a platform that brings together like-minded thought leaders, innovators and potential partners dedicated to developing and supporting ideas around Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The team now seeks partners to work with to implement the idea.
The UN estimates that there will be up to 250 million climate refugees by the year 2050. Communities will face the devastating impacts of climate change, including extreme flooding, droughts and loss of arable land. Many of the communities predicted to be the hardest hit are also the most impoverished, making them ill-prepared and under-resourced.
Youth populations are going to be the ones bearing the burden of these challenges over the coming decades. At the same time, young people in developing countries are not being adequately educated about the impact of climate change on their lives. More importantly, they are not being equipped with the knowledge, skills and resources to take action and make their communities more resilient.
Imagine: what if instead of being victims of climate change, these young men and women were supported to be part of the solution?
ResilYouth is a participatory action toolkit to engage youth in communities most vulnerable to climate change to co-plan and implement resilience-building community projects. This school or community-based learning toolkit for youth aged 12-14 and follows a 3-step process with hands-on materials:
Knowledge: Through lessons, activities and games, students learn about climate change and impacts on their community. They learn skills like environmental modelling and risk assessment and use them to learn about past and future community impacts and leverage points for building resilience.
Collaboration: Students work together to ideate and create a solution. They collaborate to identify how their community could be more resilient, such as through coastal protection projects and alternative agriculture, and reach out to relevant community partners.
Action: With support and backing from local granting partners, students implement resilience projects in their communities.
Our product embodies innovation in a number of ways:
Many innovations on climate change migrants deal with symptoms and not root causes. We are working with climate change disaster prone communities to enable and equip them to identify adaptation measures, reducing the pressure of migration.
Most climate change adaptation interventions we have reviewed utilize top-down approach which affects ownership. Our approach bridges the gap between a top-down and bottom up approach, making it inclusive and sustainable.
Our intervention combines knowledge and action. We are not only working with young people to reflect on their reality and improve knowledge on climate change, we are also working with them to build networks for collaborative action and implementation on resilience initiatives.
Our intervention is tagged to already existing structures – the formal education structure – although it is hands-on, experiential and community-based learning.
By empowering young people, we will be contributing to building an ecosystem of actors where our approach is utilized for generating and implementing ideas on climate change adaptation.
The following are the SDGs we look to contribute to and the respective indicators we will measure:
1.5 By 2030 build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations, and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters
11.3 By 2030 enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacities for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries
13.1 Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries
13.3 Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning

Quick Guide To What Bottarga is
Bottarga is one of the rarest delicacies on earth. So rare, you might not have heard of it before, well, now you do. This is because the salted and cured fish roe was all but unheard-of outside Italy until recently, but is now becoming fast famous worldwide. It is a favorite for people who like salty, savory, cured seafood and is widely regarded as the "poor man's caviar."
What is Bottarga?
Bottarga also known as the Mediterranean caviar, Bottarga can be called the truffles of the sea. Like fungus, it can be grated over dishes to give you grated Bottarga.
It originated from ancient Arabic fishers who were reluctant to waste any part of their catch. To conserve their catch's delicious and precious eggs, they used the most common form of preservatives available—Salt. Because of its laborious and time-consuming process, Bottarga fast became a unique and refined product that was difficult to find until as recently as 1950.
Bottarga can be gotten from several fish species, from the grey mullet and tuna to swordfish. In Italy, Bottarga is usually made with tuna roe, which produces a variety that has a more pungent taste than grey mullet roe. However, it requires a longer processing time of up to thirty days
Bottarga is a form of dried fish roe sacs, usually mullet roe—roe means eggs. Unlike the Bottarga caviar, which uses individual fish eggs, Bottarga is made from the sacs of roe found in the abdominal cavities of the female mullets.
Once the sacs have been removed from the mullets, care to prevent the sacs from rupturing. They are tied off with twine and then left to cure for a few weeks by encasing them in sea salts. How long they stay in the sea salt depends on the climate and the producer's preference. The salt draws out the moisture, and then the sacs are pressed to squeeze out additional liquids. Then the aging phase begins. They are left to dry for months in a carefully humidity-controlled drying room called the aging room. For the sacs to attain a uniform drying process, they need to be turned periodically. They mature within months, depending on the size of the sacs. On the occasion that the sacs rupture during extraction, the roe can be used to make ground bottarga
What is left is a dense, leathery consistency that can be as hard as cheese when it is dried for a long time( they are sometimes coated in beeswax or paraffin to keep them soft). It can be grated as cheese and is called grated Bottarga. The color of the Bottarga depends on the age of the roe at the time the mullet was caught, from a golden orange color to deep ruby red.
Roy grey mullet is used to make the most refined and expensive Bottarga. It has a golden, amber color and is often called 'Sardinia's gold.' It is usually made in September with an intense and elegant flavor, and it leaves behind a pleasantly bitter aftertaste.
How is Bottarga eaten?
It is best to eat Bottarga raw. You can also use it to top cooked preparations, almost like garnished flakey sea salt or served on crostinis, salads, or sandwiches. When intensely flavored, a little bottarga can go a long way. So grated Bottarga can be sprinkled with lemon juice to cut the saltiness. Also, bottarga powder can be served over pasta, risotto, vegetables like asparagus and artichoke.

What Does Bottarga Taste Like?
Bottarga has a salty, briny, umami flavor, like the sea without being overly fishy. Bottarga is best used as a condiment. A tiny amount of mullet roe bottarga, grated over a microplate grater, is enough to transform a dish of pasta, rice, pizza, or even eggs. Mullet Bottarga is often called the gold of the sea, and its salt-cured flavor is similar to the prosciutto or country ham.

International Art market News Opinion Contests Library Interviews Articles Calls Exhibitions
"Song of Pedro Costa" at the Virreina Image Center
bonart barcelona - 31/10/22
The Virreina Center de la Imatge presents, until April 23, 2023, Cançó de Pedro Costa, the first exhibition that adopts such a specific perspective on the filmmaker's work: the face, the voice and the song as signs of the more particular to each person, but also as a response to the combined pressure of History and personal history.
Curated by Javier Codesal, the exhibition has been conceived for La Virreina Center de la Imatge. The filmmaker's work is approached from a specific perspective that characterizes his future and what could be one of his immediate futures is rehearsed. The exhibition revolves around the face, the voice and the song as signs of the most particular of each person, but also as a response to the combined pressure of History with each person's history, a response to trauma and what is missing.
The exhibition is based on ten works, with titles alluding to the idea of singing: Casa de lava - notebook (artist's book, 1994) and Cançoner de Fogo (documentary video to visualize the contents of the notebook) , Balar de Balibar (projection, 2009), Cançó de Ventura (projection, 2014), Our voices will not sing anymore (set of three independent works projected in different rooms of the exhibition, 2022), Cant de pedra (five photographs on paper, 2015), Morna d'ombres (installation with five projections on screens hanging from the ceiling and soundtrack, 1994-2022) and Songs to avoid suicide (installation composed of the works Sobre el súicidi and A la petita radio, both from 2022).
Pedro Costa (Lisbon, 1959) is one of the filmmakers most appreciated by new film audiences and by international critics, especially since the making of No quarto da Vanda (2000). His latest feature film, Vitalina Varela (2019), received the Golden Leopard for best film at the Locarno Festival.

With today's tools, everyone from PR gurus to call center employees can tap into the power of their data. One of the 7 Analytics Tools Every Department can benefit from is sales intelligence software and its predictive analytics; ZoomInfo explains more.
There's no question of how busy sales reps are. Between hunting down new leads, doing research, scheduling calls and trying to meet their quotas, there's barely a free second in their day. But Big Data is changing that in a big way. Enter lead intelligence and predictive analytics.
Lead intelligence is the collection of data about leads and prospects, for the purpose of streamlining the entire sales cycle. This data can include anything – demographic and firmographic data, contact information, social media accounts, what types of interactions they've had with your business and more.
Predictive analytics are primarily used to analyze data to identify emerging trends, understand your customers and predict their future behavior. With these insights, companies are able to make more informed decisions that affect their business's overall performance.
If it's not already obvious, lead intelligence and predictive analytics markedly increase the efficiency of your sales and marketing teams, and the efficacy of their campaigns.
82% of sales reps feel challenged by the amount of data and time it takes to research a prospect.
42% of sales reps feel they do not have the right information before making a sales call.
Reps may search as many as 15 different sources to find information on prospects.
32% of a sales rep's time is spent searching for missing data & manually entering it into their CRM.
Up to 24% of a sales rep's time is spent researching prospects.
It wasn't long ago that the primary source of B2B leads were from business cards exchanged at trade shows or by going through the yellow pages. This seems laughable today, but in another 10 years, so will the notion of wasting 24% of your time trying to find a little background information on your prospect. The future is on-demand data that's verified in real time.
Big Data is now much more accessible than it has been in the past, and with today's technology anybody can conduct research that once would have required an analyst or consultant.
For example, most lead intelligence tools can help you create a buyer persona, which is a comprehensive profile of your best buyer. Uncovering the defining traits and characteristics of your best buyers is critical for creating targeted content, developing future products, sales outreach, and anything related to customer acquisition and retention.
With the use of predictive analytics, sales teams will also be able to avoid chasing bad leads or prospects that aren't a good fit. By only presenting the opportunities with the most potential, sales teams will be to maximize their efficiency and drastically shorten their sales cycle.
Companies that invest in these types of tools stand to gain a substantial competitive advantage. Lead intelligence and predictive data allow reps to close more deals faster, and those without them will be stuck spending their days trawling LinkedIn.

Home Oil Oil prices stumble as Saudis set end date for new OPEC+ cuts
Oil prices stumble as Saudis set end date for new OPEC+ cuts
on: June 09, 2020 In: Oil
*Saudi Aramco's Ras Tanura Sea Island Terminal
SINGAPORE — Oil traded near $42 a barrel in London after OPEC and its allies agreed to extend historic output curbs by an extra month, but Saudi Arabia signaled it wouldn't continue with additional, deeper curbs after June.
Brent futures were little changed, after rising as much as 2.6% in earlier trading. OPEC+ agreed over the weekend to extend record output curbs. Saudi Arabia — which had curtailed output by more than its agreed quota — said at a press conference Monday that those extra reductions will last just one month as planned, as the measures have served their purpose.
The extension of the existing limits is a victory for Saudi Arabia and Russia, which were deadlocked in a brutal price war just two months ago. OPEC+'s de-facto leaders showed their commitment to shore up oil markets globally, and even cajoled Iraq, Nigeria and other laggards to fulfill their promises to reduce production. Following the meeting, OPEC's largest producer sharply hiked its official selling prices.
The supply cuts and a rebound in demand have helped oil prices double since April. China's crude imports surged to a record high last month, while consumption in other major economies such as India is improving. Still, a sustained rebound in prices may be hampered by deteriorating relations between Washington and Beijing, a second wave of infections, or returning U.S. shale supply.
– Brent for August settlement fell 1 cent to $42.29 a barrel as of 12:47 p.m. London time
– Based on Brent's relative strength index, oil is sitting in overbought territory and due for a decline
– West Texas Intermediate for July delivery fell 0.7% to $39.28
– The WTI strip for 2021 was at $41.29, the highest since March
Following the new deal, Saudi Arabia pressed on by increasing some crude prices by the most in at least two decades. The hikes erased almost all of the discounts the kingdom made during its brief price war with Russia, with the steepest increases hitting July exports to Asia.
Libya's El-Feel restarts, potentially complicating OPEC+ deal
As OPEC met virtually over the weekend, Tropical Storm Cristobal was swirling over the Gulf of Mexico. Offshore drillers idled about a third of oil production, amounting to about 636,000 barrels of daily output, due to the storm, according to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. The storm has now crossed the coast.
Meanwhile, Libya's biggest oil fields are gradually resuming production after a five-month shutdown due to civil war. Output will start at an initial 30,000 barrels a day at Sharara and it will take three months to return to full capacity, according to National Oil Corp. Supply from El-Feel also restarted on Sunday, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation.

No matter how well you know your business product inside and out, if you don't get a handle on overall business budgeting, all of that talent and drive will result in a less-than-desirable end. That's why as you are improving your product or your service as the core of your business, you need to prioritize how you do your business budgeting. And this is not necessarily a skill that comes naturally to many people. It takes practice and research.
If you're trying to make sure that you don't skip this crucial financial step, start with a few categories to move you in the right direction. First of all, make sure that you understand accounting basics. Without this ability to balance numbers, your businesses financial solvency will be a puzzle. Next, understand how expenses work. Particularly when it comes to subsets of costs like gifts, travel, and entertainment, many business owners are ignorant of how they work. Finally, especially as your business is growing, don't be afraid to get help with your taxes. Even a small mistake in your taxes can make a big difference in the positive or negative direction your business is heading.
No matter what your businesses, you need to learn accounting basics. Especially if you are the company owner or manager, even if accounting feels like an alien process to you, it's absolutely essential you understand how it works. Without understanding the basics of accounting, you may have feelings about the improvement of your company, but you don't have any hard data to back it up. This can be a regrettable circumstance as you trying to explain profit margins to your investors.
There are all sorts of different expenses that you're going to have to deal with as a business owner. Many of them are not directly related to the product or service of your selling. Consider expenses for gifts, travel, and entertainment. You can't just take money out of your company coffer and use it for these things without notating it accurately. Your company's bank account is not your piggy bank, and even though gift expenses, in particular, seem unrelated to a company function, when it comes to taxes and regulations, they are most certainly important.
It's very likely that one of the first few hires that you will bring onto the team after you get your business going is a tax accountant. Especially when you are moving from a small business model to a medium-sized one, there are lots of different details that you have to understand about turning your taxes in at the end of the year. If you hire a tax accountant to organize and submit this information for you, you can ensure that you won't make any administrative mistakes that can cost you.

"I guess the train has always been a close friend with cinema since the very beginning. The Lumieres' The Arrival of a Train for example. So the long, fascinating historical aspect is there to begin with. Also trains bring people together - strangers, families and friends. Being on a train forces them to stay in the same area for a long time, and without the ability to easily move around, or leave the space, something is bound to happen. Trains also take you to many interesting landscapes, which can raise social awareness while functioning as a spectacle at the same time. The moving images seen through the rectangular frame of the train's windows resonate with our experience of cinema. There are many films shot on trains that I love, but what came to mind right away is Abbas Kiarostami's short in Tickets. It's a fiction though, not documentary. Kiarostami did an amazing job telling a story of a brief encounter between strangers (and semi-strangers) within the moving vehicle. It's so beautifully shot and everything seems to flow so effortlessly, but yet very precisely. I'm not sure how he did it."
Sompot Chidgasornpongse in an interview with Dochouse1
Notebook: You've been working with Apichatpong for a long time now and he produced Railway Sleepers. What's he like as a producer?
Sompot Chidgasornpongse: He's the type of producer who let me make an eight-year film! [Laughs] He helped me financially, especially towards the very beginning, giving me money to buy equipment. After that he let me be and would check in every once in a while. I would show him the footage and he'd give comments. If he didn't like a shot, he would say so. At the same time, he would always end his suggestions with, "But it's your film. If you're happy with it, you do it your way." [...]
Although on a formal level, Railway Sleepers doesn't resemble Apichatpong's work, I thought that thematically it had strong parallels to both Mysterious Object at Noon, as an itinerant, mosaic portrait of contemporary Thailand, and to Cemetery of Splendour, with the train serving a symbolic role similar to the soldiers' sleep. Would you agree?
Yeah, totally. Mysterious Object at Noon wasn't his thesis film, but he also made it right after his graduation [from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago]. Studying in the U.S. made us miss our own country. I realized I had never really traveled through Thailand by myself and I started wanting to explore places in Thailand. I studied with James Benning, and with him it's all about landscapes and going to see things. I hadn't been to see things in my own country at all. I was missing the sun, the landscape. I think Apichatpong and I probably shared this feeling. And also, Thai cinema has never really explored the country, so that's something we wanted to do.
