'The Nutcracker and the Four Realms' Review
Annie Brock
Thanks to Walt Disney Australia for the chance to see 'The Nutcracker and the Four Realms' before its national release. This is our review of the movie, but as usual, no matter what we say, we still recommend you to go and see it at your local cinema because there is no better critic than yourself!
Following in the footsteps of the hugely successful Cinderella and Beauty and The Beast, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is the latest Disney live action remake. The film stars Mackenzie Foy, Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren and Richard E. Grant.
Set on Christmas Eve in Victorian London, a young girl Clara is gifted with an egg shaped box, once belonging to her deceased mother. In the search of a special key to open the box, Clara discovers a magical world. After meeting the Sugar Plum Fairy, (Keira Knightley), Shiver (Richard E. Grant) and Hawthorn (Eugenio Derbez) she discovers the Kingdom of the Four Realms is under attack by Madame Ginger, (Helen Mirren). Clara, with the aid of her new friend the Nutcracker, must help the Sugar Plum Fairy save the four realms.
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms deviates from the traditional Nutcracker Story. The magical world and the characters are the same but the story is completely new. This is ultimately the film's downfall. The plot is predictable, slow in parts and offers nothing fresh or new to the Nutcracker story.
The film's elaborate sets and costumes are visually stunning. The magical world created definitely stands out as one of the best in the Disney universe. An elaborate ballet performance, while Sugar Plum is explaining the history of the four realms, is one of the film's highlights. The traditional Nutcracker story has become well known through the ballet repertoire. Incorporating more dance and music would have made the film more appealing.
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms will be loved by the younger audience. The film's bright and magical world, spectacular, colourful and intricate costumes, along with its goofy characters, is catnip to a child under 10.
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms ticks all the right boxes for a Disney film but has missed the opportunity to enhance a beloved story. Luckily, the target audience will forgive this.

Note that the circle images are pretty sparse. Although you could still find some interesting images by zooming into the border, this is a good opportunity to discuss the size of orbit traps and how to change them.
You will recall from our discussion of how orbit traps work that the fractal image contains copies (albeit distorted) of the original orbit trap shape. If the original orbit trap is made larger or smaller, the images will also become larger or smaller.
The "right" size for an orbit trap depends on the fractal formula being used, the region of the fractal being magnified, and the taste of the user. Generally, though, the circle and square orbit traps require a bigger initial size then the stalk orbit traps. This is because the cross shape that gives rise to the stalks is in principle infinite in extent whereas the circle and square are limited in extent in all directions.
Even with stalks, you may sometimes want to make the size smaller or larger. Using a smaller size, for instance, can improve an image in which the stalks appear too "fat" and overlay each other too much.
The parameter that controls the size of the trap is the "Outer" parameter under the heading "Trap Extent" in the Orbit dialog box. It is important to note that the value it starts out with by default, 0.001, was chosen to be a good average value for the cross or "stalk" orbit trap. It is generally too small for circle and square orbit traps, so when you are using one of these, the first thing you probably want to do is change the "Outer" parameter to something larger.
As an exercise, try the same thing with the "square" orbit trap. Be sure to increase the outer extent before you start zooming.

2014 Hyundai Equus facelift revealed ahead of NY debut
Zach Bowman
Mar 12th 2013 at 2:30PM
Hyundai has dropped a pair of videos detailing the facelifted 2014 Equus (a.k.a. Centennial) ahead of the luxury sedan's official debut at the New York Auto Show later this month. New adaptive LED headlamps are matched with redesigned LED taillamps, along with new 18-inch alloy wheels at all four corners (19s are optional). Buyers will get to enjoy a card-type smart key and a shift-by-wire gear change indoors. More importantly, the vehicle's forward cabin is now dominated by a 9.2-inch screen mounted in the center of the dash.
The old analog gauges have also gone by the wayside in favor of a new TFT LCD display. Mechanically, the 2014 Equus will continue to offer a standard 3.8-liter V6 engine or an optional 5.0-liter V8, depending on the market (the US-spec car is currently only available with the V8). The vehicle can be configured with a total of three driving modes, including Normal, Snow and Sport, which can adjust multiple systems, including the vehicle's electronic dampers. You can check out two computer-generated videos of the four-door below.

Why the Speaker of the House of Commons told Gloucestershire Live to 'stick it in our pipe and smoke it'
John Bercow wants it to be known that Cheltenham MP Alex Chalk was 'heckling' and not 'braying' during a Brexit debate in Parliament
Phil NorrisNetwork Content Editor for Reach
John Bercow (Image: BBC screengrab)
As MPs discussed the critical importance of Brexit and our withdrawal from the European Union, one Gloucestershire MP raised a point of order.
Cheltenham MP Alex Chalk asked the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, to make a clarification that he did not "bray" the day before.
Gloucestershire Live's report of his being admonished was referred to by the Speaker John Bercow in the House yesterday (December 4).
Mr Bercow confirmed Mr Chalk did not bray but did "heckle".
It followed shouting being heard as Green Party leader Caroline Lucas, MP for Brighton Pavilion, put a question to Attorney General Geoffrey Cox over the legal advice given to the Government over Brexit.
What Mr Bercow said
"Mr Chalk, you are a most cerebral and ordinarily most genial individual and you also practise in the courts, or have done, as a barrister, I am sure in a most dignified and respectful manner.
"Just as the Attorney is entitled to be treated with respect, every member of this house is entitled to be treated with some respect in this matter and the honourable lady will be heard.
"The Attorney talked about braying and shouting and he was justified in complaining about being subject to braying and shouting, a point I have already myself made.
"The same goes for members responding to the honourable lady. She will be heard. What part of that proposition can some people not understand?"
As the great issues of state were thrashed over and debated on Tuesday evening during the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement debate, Mr Chalk took to his feet under a point of order.
What did Mr Chalk tell the nation?
He said: "Yesterday [Monday] in the course of proceedings you gently rebuked me for intervening from a sedentary position on the honorary lady for Brighton Pavilion.
"You went on to suggest that there had been general shouting and braying and the Gloucestershire Echo is now reporting that I was admonished by you for participating in such behaviour.
Alex Chalk MP speaking in Parliament (Image: BBC screengrab)
"Would you be kind enough to confirm that there was no suggestion of 'braying' or other disrespectful behaviour from me.
"It's not my style and I would be grateful if the position could be clarified so that the record in the Echo can be set straight."
To be clear, the story was on Gloucestershire Live and not our weekly newspaper, the Gloucestershire Echo.
Watch Cheltenham MP Alex Chalk being told off after 'braying' in House of Commons
How did the Speaker reply?
This is what the Speaker of the House John Bercow said in front of MPs, the Press and in comments that will be set down for eternity in Hansard.
He said: "I'm very happy to set the record straight for the benefit of the honourable gentleman.
"In all my experience of the honourable gentleman, which is now quite considerable, I think I can say authoritatively that the honourable gentleman and 'braying' are complete strangers.
"They have never met and indeed other than by virtue of the fact that he's a well educated fellow I would question whether he would even know the meaning of the word, to bray.
"He's in every other respect a good citizen and he may have heckled, he did heckle, but he wasn't braying and his behaviour is ordinarily not in any way unseemly so he can tell his local newspaper to put that in their pipe if they still have one and smoke it."
There was further hilarity when the next person to speak, Sir Graham Brady MP, Conservative (Altrincham and Sale West) said: "There may not be room in the Gloucestershire Echo for the whole of your ruling in response to my honourable friend's point."
We at Gloucestershire Live are happy to set the record straight and report that the Speaker said Mr Chalk was heckling and not braying.
And, of course, we would add to the speaker that none of our journalists are pipe smokers so we have nothing to smoke 'it' in.

Gold exports stand out in Dominican Republic
Redacción Opportimes Send an email 24 enero, 2023
Photo: Government of the Dominican Republic.
Gold exports accounted for 38.0% of the Dominican Republic's exports and 10.8% of its total exports in 2021, reported the World Trade Organization (WTO).
The country's mining sector has seen significant development during the period under review, particularly in relation to the exploitation of gold and silver deposits.
Comercio de mercancías de consumo por principales productos, 2015 y 2021
Foreign investment has played an important role in the development of these activities, which have turned the Dominican Republic into one of the main gold exporters in the region.
The main mining centers are located within fiscal reserves, and their exploitation is governed by special contracts concluded under the Mining Law.
Gold exports
The share of precious metals increased to 38.1% of national exports in 2021, compared to 32.0% in 2015.
While the production of base metals and their manufactures rebounded considerably and went from representing 4.4% of national exports in 2015, compared to 14.9% in 2021, the share of manufactures in total exports remained above 50%.
There is also non-metallic mining activity, albeit on a smaller scale, and during the 2015-2022 period, efforts have been made to promote the valorization and export of certain processed products.
In 2019, the Dominican Republic awarded the first concession for the exploitation of hydrocarbons.
Regarding the composition of national merchandise exports, it is observed that the share of products from food industries continued to decrease, from 16.1% of the total in 2015, to 12.6% in 2021.
Sugars and confectionery (3%), beverages, alcoholic liquids and vinegar food preparations (2.5%), followed by cocoa (2.3%) and food preparations (1.6 percent) stand out.
In the free trade zones, manufactures accounted for the vast majority of total exports in 2021, as was the case in 2015.
Exports of food products, particularly tobacco (cigars), machinery and electrical appliances, clothing, footwear, medical instruments, textile and footwear apparel, jewelry, and chemical products stood out.
The Dominican Republic is a middle-income country with a GDP per capita of about USD 9,000 in 2021.

Home Invasion?
Thanksgiving Day Horror: Minnesota Teens Killed in Alleged Break-In
Matthew DeLuca on two teens who were killed and their bodies left for a day after an alleged break-in.
Matthew DeLuca
Renee Jones Schneider / Minneapolis Star Tribune-ZUMA Press
On Thanksgiving Day around noon, Byron David Smith was sitting in the basement of his home on eight acres of land in Little Falls, Minn., a woodsy town of about 8,000 people, when he thought he heard intruders moving around upstairs.
How Smith, 64, ended up killing two teenagers in cold blood that day, as he later told police, is laid out in icy detail in a criminal complaint filed in the state's Seventh District Court on Monday.
Smith, who was worried the intruders might be armed, waited quietly downstairs with a Mini-14 rifle, a semi-automatic carbine, in his hand, according to the complaint, which details what he told police. He had a .22-caliber revolver strapped to his body, he said. He heard a window break, and later he showed police officers a broken window in his bedroom. He listened to footsteps above him, on the first floor of the house. Then he saw someone walking down the stairwell into the basement, where he sat, and a pair of legs became visible. Then he fired. Twice.
The person he shot was Nicholas Brady, a 17-year-old who also used the last name Schaeffel. Brady was looking up at Smith after he fell down the stairs. Smith, who has been reported to be a former security officer for the U.S. State Department, told police he shot Brady in the face.
The reason? "I want him dead," Smith told officers.
Smith put Brady on a tarp and dragged him into a basement workshop, leaving the body there, he said. Then he went back to his seat. He waited.
It took a few minutes, but soon another pair of legs came down the basement stairs. It was Haile Kifer, a gymnast and diver for Little Falls High School. Smith told police he fired as the 18-year-old girl's hips appeared. She too fell down the stairs. Smith's Mini-14 jammed. Kifer laughed up at the man who would kill her. That made him mad, he said, even though it was only a short laugh because she was in so much pain.
"If you're trying to shoot somebody and they laugh at you, you go again," Smith explained to police as his logic for what he did next. Smith said he shot Kifer in the chest with his .22-caliber revolver, not once but several times. That was "more shots than I needed to," Smith later told police.
Kifer was still alive. Smith dragged her over to where he had left Brady's body. The young woman gasped for air. Smith had a solution for that—what he later called "a good clean finishing shot." He placed his gun underneath her chin and fired it "up into the cranium."
Smith said he acted out of fear. He was afraid Brady or Kifer might have a weapon. Minnesota state law allows homeowners to defend themselves and their property if they believe they are in danger. Smith acknowledged to police that neither of the two teens in his home had a weapon.
The two bodies remained in the basement of Smith's home overnight. The next morning, Smith seems to have become worried about how his actions might affect him. He called a neighbor on Friday and asked him if he knew lawyers, according to the complaint. Smith didn't call the police, he later said, but asked the neighbor to call them. That call was placed at 1 p.m. on Nov. 23.
Officers arrived at Smith's home, where he showed them the bodies of the two teens in his basement. He was arrested. Appearing in court in Morrison County on Monday morning, Smith was charged with two counts of unpremeditated murder in the second degree. Bail was set at $2 million.
"Mr. Smith intentionally killed two teenagers in his home in a manner that goes well beyond self-defense," Morris County Attorney Brian Middendorf said on Monday.
Many questions remain unanswered in the town of Little Falls, where Kifer worked at the Falls Cinema, according to her Facebook page.
Brady had never been in any serious trouble before, his older brother Nathan Schaeffel told The Daily Beast.
Smith had no prior convictions, according to a database managed by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. His brother, Bruce Smith, however, told the Star Tribune that the Little Falls man was on edge because of seven prior break-ins at his home in previous years.
Mary Swanson, a supervisor at the Morrison County Sheriff's Office, said that on Oct. 27, Smith called to report a burglary in his home. That was the only incident the sheriff's office ever had that originated at Smith's residence, Swanson said. According to the report from that time, Smith left his home at 11 a.m. and returned at around 6:30 p.m. to find his home had been broken into, he told police. He called police seven minutes later to report that $9,200 worth of cash and gold coins had been taken, along with two guns worth $200 apiece, $3,000 in photography equipment, and a $300 ring.
"Nothing came of it," Swanson said. "They investigated and basically they were kind of at a dead end."
Schools in the town have been offering "extensive counseling services and grief support" to students who request it, said Stephen Jones, Little Falls superintendent of schools. The two victims were cousins, he said, and they had both gone to Little Falls High School until the beginning of this year, when Brady transferred to Pillager High School.
Friends of the two teens held a vigil at the local high-school football field on Sunday night.
The students organized the candlelit gathering on their own, without school officials, Jones said. It was a quiet event.


Some 21 million public school students are set to start schooling today. Many of the 21 million public school students going to the country's 45,000 public kindergartens, elementary and high schools will suffer the age-old problems of lack of books, classrooms, chairs, basic school supplies and even go to school with empty stomachs. Many will not be even go to school for lack of money for tuition and school supplies or because their parents simply do not care.
We at the Kristiyano-Islam Peace Library (Kris) are happy to announce that in school year 2012-2013, 120 poor but smart Christian and Muslim students will be going to school against all odds -- thanks to donors here and abroad who responded to our online-fund raising drive. Our volunteer have written a press release about this wonderful news. You can still help by going to http://www.gofundme.com/j0h70. Thank you very much!
The Kristiyano-Islam Peace (KRIS) Library, an award-winning organization that promotes education and literacy, has recently concluded, after less than two months, a much-hyped online fundraising campaign to send to school 100 indigent elementary and high school students from farming and fishing communities in Zamboanga City and a sprawling slum area in Metro Manila. Most of their campaigning had been done primarily through the social networking site, Facebook.
Donations poured in through their page on gofundme.com, a fundraising website that accommodated PayPal and credit card donations. KRIS Library and its supporters spread the word through Facebook, primarily by posting about the past 101 scholars of KRIS Library. One such post focused on Joan Claire Pangan, a KRIS Library scholar who had recently graduated from high school as Valedictorian, wearing more than ten medals on her graduation day.
KRIS Library had estimated that each student would need around P600 ($15) to pay for the enrolment fee and basic school supplies. This simple amount may look measly to some, but for the families of these children, P600 per year is a do-or-die cost.
Indigent applicants to the KRIS Library Scholarship Fund come from two core areas. 67 had applied from farming and fishing communities of Manicahan, Poso, and Bungiao in Zamboanga City. Meanwhile, 45 students had applied from Barangay Holy Spirit in Quezon City. Holy Spirit is home to hundreds of informal dwellers.
Manicahan student Glycel Ives Bernardo writes in her application form, "I want to finish my studies. Unfortunately I have no parents to support me... [My grandparents] could hardly give me my need for their financial income is insufficient to support me." Last year, Glycel had graduated from Grade 2 as the Top 1 of her batch.
Meanwhile, Angel M. Agbon, one of six children in her family, writes, "Education is very important because it is where our future lies. I want to attain the KRIS Library Scholarship because we are poor. My father is only a farmer. With his small earning, he can't send us all to school." Likewise, Angel had graduated last year With Honours from elementary.
Their goal of raising P65,000 or $1,500 for 100 public school students who are in dire need of enrolment fee assistance was surpassed by a notch. A total of P68,670 was raised thanks to the involvement of donors, friends, family, and other supporters from the Philippines, Japan, Malaysia, Australia, US, Canada, Guam, Japan, and the Netherlands. More donations have been pledged to accommodate even more scholars.
KRIS Library received donations from the Rotary International Clubs of Zamboanga City and Silay, individuals and families from the Philippines, Malaysia, Australia, Canada, the US, Guam, Japan, and the Netherlands. An impressive amount had also come from the Timberland Sports and Nature Club, a large-scale project of Filinvest.
KRIS college scholars, on the other hand, are supported by individual donors.

We've covered a couple of Distimo reports in the past because they provide us with some valuable insights on Apple's App Store and Google's Android Market based on the startup's in-depth analysis of publicly available data. Now the company has added RIM's Blackberry App World store to the fray, which gives us even more data points to compare the rivals' app pricing and whatnot.
In the latest report (September 2009), Distimo notes software programs for Blackberry devices are considerably more expensive than comparable apps for competing devices/platforms.
In fact, the average price for apps is more than three times higher than the one for similar apps in the App Store and Android Market, which is sort of unbelievable. There's not a single category where the average price of an app is lower than its equivalent on the latter two application storefronts, and the more serious, business-related tools are definitely much more expensive. Just look at the difference in fees for apps in such categories as Finance, Productivity, Reference, News, Utility/Tools and particularly, Navigation/Travel in the chart below.
Research In Motion has traditionally targeted more of a business audience with its product line, but is that enough of an explanation why developers are pricing their mobile software programs so much higher than their equivalents on the competing platforms? Or are Blackberry users simply more willing (and able) to pay for apps? If so, than the higher pricing is merely a result of simple relation between offer and demand.
Either way, the difference in pricing is quite clear.
Update: as commenter Cameron correctly points out, the minimum listing price for apps that get distributed on App World is $2.99, which is part of the explanation of the huge pricing differences (I doubt it's the only reason). Note that the store is open for free applications as well (if they generate revenue after download).
The chart also shows pricing of apps for the most popular listings in Apple's App Store and Android Market are rather similar, with only Social Networking, Navigation & Travel and Productivity showing a bit of difference in asking pricing.

Seabird appeal reaches £100,000 target to help battle changing climates
A 45-year study of the seabirds of Skomer is set to continue for another 10 years, thanks to the support of hundreds of donors.
The study, run by Professor Tim Birkhead, tracks the population of the guillemots that breed on the island of Skomer, just off the coast of South Wales, acting as a measure for the impact climate change and other environmental factors are having on its population.
To mark his retirement from the University, he set out to raise £100,000 to ensure the continuation of the study – a target he has now reached.
Professor Birkhead, from the University of Sheffield's Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, said:
"I am absolutely delighted that this vital and unique study will be able to continue and I could not be more grateful to the hundreds of individuals who have made donations to allow it to carry on."
Over 330 donations were made to Professor Birkhead's appeal for support, from donors across the globe, including gifts from former students, colleagues and collaborators.
One donor on JustGiving, said:
"Outstanding work for 40 years, longitudinal studies are so important. I still remember Tim's very interesting lectures from 1988!"
A large number of donations also came from attendees of the talks Tim gives around the country. One of whom commented through JustGiving:
"Good luck, Tim I hope you get all the funding you need, and more, for your successor to continue where you have left off."
Explaining the importance or research studies like his, Professor Birkhead said:
"I have been working on this study for the majority of my career, monitoring the health of the guillemot population on the island of Skomer.
"However, the results of this study can be felt far more widely, both for conservation of other seabirds but also as a proxy for the health of the marine environment."
Seabirds such as guillemots are particularly responsive to changes in the environment, meaning they act as a 'barometer' for the overall health of the ocean.
Having such a long, uninterrupted study is of vital importance to environmental research as the data recorded shows how guillemots have responded to the changes in their environment.
This information can also be used to infer how guillemots and other marine environments might respond to future changes posed by global warming and other forms of climate change.
Professor Birkhead, added:
"I am truly, truly thankful to each and every person who has made a donation to support this work.
"Knowing that this research will continue in safe hands is the best retirement gift I could have hoped for - though it's safe to say this won't be the last the guillemots see of me."
Professor Birkhead joined the University in 1976 and has since taught and supervised thousands of students. Many of these students had the opportunity to take part in Tim's guillemot study, gaining practical experience as part of their course - something he thought was vital to being a great researcher - and it is one of Tim's former post-docs who will be taking over the study.
Throughout his career Professor Birkhead has been an innovative and award winning teacher, receiving the National Teaching Fellowship for outstanding impact on students' learning experience in 2017.
Miles Stevenson, the University of Sheffield's Director of Advancement, said:
"Professor Birkhead has been a dedicated member of the University for decades, and has impacted the lives of countless students.
"It has been a pleasure to work with Tim for a number of years, and to help him support his work into this important environmental cause. I am delighted he has reached his target, and wish him a very happy retirement."

Do two bad movies somehow make for a good movie when smashed together? In this particular case, it seems like it. A new fan trailer has combined the 1997 Spawn live-action movie with the lamented Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and, somehow, it makes for a pretty cool looking movie that many of us would actually want to see.
YouTuber Stryder HD, who quite regularly cuts together trailers for cool movies that don't actually exist, brings us this insane Spawn and Ghost Rider crossover. Titled Ghost Rider v Spawn: Eternal Darkness. The trailer envisions that Spawn comes back to life, much like in the 1997 movie, but this time, he is sentenced by the Devil himself to kill Johnny Blaze. This leads to a whole lot of firey fighting goodness with a whole lot of bad CGI. Despite the rough special effects, the premise is cool and it would really seem to work.
What is perhaps most interesting about this trailer is that, if we ignore some of the bad and outdated effects, this could really work. However, the source material for the trailer is pretty rough. The original Spawn live-action movie is bizarre and confounding in a bad way and doesn't hold up by any standard. As for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, this is easily one of the worst comic book movie sequels ever made, and it isn't as though the first movie is really any good in the first place. Yet, somehow, Nicolas Cage and Jai White could've maybe come together at one point to make this work.
Related: Will Hulk, Punisher, Blade & Ghost Rider Get TV Series?
Despite the fact that Ghost Rider is a Marvel Comics title and Spawn is an image comics title, there is no reason this couldn't work. The two characters are both cut from the same cloth, despite some pretty serious differences. If a deal could be struck, this could make for a really great R-rated comic book movie. It isn't likely to happen, but we can dream. Granted, if somehow, someway it ever were to happen, it certainly wouldn't be Nicolas Cage and Jai White playing the roles. Even if we don't get a movie, maybe Marvel and Image could do a limited comic book series of some kind?
As far as Ghost Rider and Spawn go, we are going to get some more of them in live-action, but just not together. The Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider has been showing up on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. lately, and there were rumors a while back that Netflix was looking to possibly do a series based on the Johnny Blaze version. With the Untitled Spawn Reboot, creator Todd McFarlane has finished a script for a new live-action movie, which he also wants to direct, and has promised some news on the subject during San Diego Comic-Con. We'll see how that shakes out. For now, you can check out the Ghost Rider v Spawn: Eternal Darkness trailer for yourself below.

While we generally use the Antenna blog to share trends and ideas on the world of marketing and leadership, today I want to give you a peek behind the scenes at Antenna HQ. Let's talk business strategy.
As president of Antenna, I'm responsible for overseeing the day-to-day function of the company. While that core work with our consultants and clients is incredibly important, I also have one eye on our big-picture strategy.
Antenna has been growing quite a bit — we've been fortunate to have 40% year over year growth for the last few years, which means more opportunities for our clients and consultants. As we grow it's important to us to follow a sustainable, responsible strategy. We've found an important framework to help us define that strategy: EOS.
The Entrepreneurial Operating System, or EOS, is a way to operate growth-oriented small businesses (companies with 10 to 250 employees) in a systematic way. Using EOS, leaders can get everyone in the company on the same page and move through a strategic plan in a thoughtful, pragmatic way. In other words, EOS forces business leaders to work on the business, not just in the business — which I know from experience is easier said than done.
EOS also simplifies strategy. I come from a corporate strategy background, and I'm used to formal, impressive binders full of many pages of projections, numbers, and strategic plans. EOS uses a two-page strategy (two pages!), and breaks down the goals into manageable quarterly milestones. With EOS there's no room for pie-in-the-sky goals and ideas. You force yourself to choose your top priorities for each quarter, and leave anything else for later.
The things that got Antenna through our first few stages of growth aren't the same things that will push us to the next level of growth. EOS is our foundation for building a healthy, strong company that's primed for more growth. It gives us a method to our madness and organizes our teams and processes.
Every employee at Antenna has read "Traction," and every employee contributes to a weekly meeting about our business strategy.
Those meetings ladder up to bigger plans. Our leadership team spends a full day each quarter off-site working on the business. We identify our most critical priorities for the next 90 days, which has been incredibly helpful for us.
We started EOS 16 months ago, so we're still in the beginning phase. EOS generally recommends two years to get fully operational in the system, at which point we'll continue to optimize and refine our processes based on the EOS structure.
There are 4,500 companies that run on EOS. In 2017, EOS held its first user conference, and we knew we had to be there. Our four-person leadership team (Marie Oberle, Erik Voge, Brendon and myself) went down to Atlanta to network with other business leaders and learn best practices.
One of our mutual favorite sessions was about building healthy and strong teams. The session discussed what teams need to be happy and functioning, and how to take the pulse of how your team works together. Our leadership team was inspired to make plans to dig more into our team health this summer, through a company-wide off-site. And after the conference, we all read one of the recommended books, "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" by Patrick Lencioni.
EOS has been a game-changer for our team at Antenna. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any other small-business leaders reading this, and I can't count the number of leaders who have told me EOS has been a key to their success.

MasTec (
MTZ - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.81 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.69 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.83 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 7.10%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this utility contractor would post earnings of $1.25 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.30, delivering a surprise of 4%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
MasTec, which belongs to the Zacks Building Products - Heavy Construction industry, posted revenues of $2.4 billion for the quarter ended September 2021, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.22%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.7 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
MasTec shares have added about 31.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 24.1%.
What's Next for MasTec?
While MasTec has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for MasTec was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.34 on $2.1 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $5.46 on $8.12 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Building Products - Heavy Construction is currently in the top 40% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

UK approaches private sector companies to help deliver COVID-19 tests
Category: #healthcare By Mateen Dalal Date: 2020-03-24
The UK government has recently approached Amazon and some other companies to use their services to accelerate the urgent delivery of coronavirus tests to healthcare facilities and social care workers.
As per sources close to the matter, the businesses with established delivery infrastructure are urged to initially help deliver tests to medical and social care workers, and then provision it to the general public.
Workers at care homes and hospitals for the elderly across the country have expressed increasing frustration regarding the lack of coronavirus tests. The workers in these facilities are unknown to whether they have been infected by the virus, are unsure if they should continue the work if the they have mild symptoms and may put other people in their care at risk, or stay at home to strain colleagues further with work overload.
In the global struggle to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, testing has become a major flashpoint outbreak. An online petition for the testing of frontline National Healthline staff has gathered more than 1 million signatures.
The UK has been conducting around 5,000 tests per day. However, health officials claim that this number would rise to 10,000 a day in the coming week and up to 25,000 in four weeks from now and then may go up to 250,000.
As per sources close to the matter, the ministers across the region are set to meet a range of e-commerce firms to draw up proposals for providing the virus test to people self-isolated at home and to frontline workers.
The antibody test would aid in detecting the virus and will also be helpful in learning whether the host has developed immunity to the virus.
The government is close to obtaining millions of antibody tests that are expected to be available in the coming weeks. Public health experts may agree that the antibody test could be transformative, however it is unclear how long it will take to produce a test that gives guaranteed accurate results.

Seattle Opera Blog: QUIXOTE'S QUEST - Week 1 Clues!
QUIXOTE'S QUEST - Week 1 Clues!
The "Quixote's Quest" Week #1 necklace has been recovered!
Just after 5 p.m. on Monday, with only one clue to guide them, Ms. Safia Jackson and her husband made their way to the windmill at Bradner Gardens Park in Seattle's Mt. Baker neighborhood and found Dulcinea's purple necklace along with their winner certificate. They narrowly beat out Ms. Paula Johnson who was hot on their heels on this first of multiple quests. Thanks to all who participated! And don't forget that we'll be starting another hunt on Monday--so stay tuned for more chances to win tickets to Don Quixote!
Originally posted on Monday, February 7, 2011, at 10 a.m.
Help! Someone has stolen the lovely Dulcinea's necklace. Can you help us find it?
Yes, it's the big day, where we announce the first clue in our "Quixote's Quest" scavenger hunt. Now it's up to you--our intrepid adventurer--to scour the greater Seattle area for Dulcinea's necklace (redeemable for free tickets to our upcoming production of Don Quixote). If you haven't already, read the full details and rules here.
And now, as promised, we reveal the first clue to the necklace's location.
Quixote can find a vicious giant even on the high sierra of Seattle's Mt. Baker neighborhood.
But if you're stumped, don't worry. Just come back to this blog every morning this week (or check out our Facebook or Twitter pages) for a NEW CLUE, until the necklace has been found. And don't forget that a new hunt begins next Monday.
