It's media day for Idris Elba: 48 hours before the release of his newest film, an adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower. Elba takes on the role of Roland Deschain (The Gunslinger) as he battles Matthew McConaughey as Walter O'Dim (The Man In Black) for the safety of the universe. Elba is genuinely excited, but admitted he knew very little about King's eight-part, 4,250-page magnum opus when he first read the script. In fact, he hadn't read a single page.
Besides his title role in the BBC's acclaimed series, Luther, for which he won a Golden Globe after being nominated five times for a variety of roles, Elba's appeared in Prometheus, Finding Dory (2016), Beasts of No Nation (2015), Pacific Rim (2013), Thor (2011), and Takers (2010). He had a recurring role on the landmark series The Office, and starred with Beyoncé in 2009's Obsessed. There were also many rumors about him becoming the next James Bond — Elba's no stranger to diversity in his character portfolio.
But for many, the 45-year-old London-born superstar's most lauded role will forever remain the shrewd, vindictive drug capo Stringer Bell in HBO's Baltimore gospel The Wire.
He says that he works best when he feels a bit of an underdog.
In an ideal world for Elba, The Dark Tower is the beginning of what becomes a series — like The Lord of the Rings. There's so much of King's opus to be told that can't be whittled down to a two-hour movie. But he's also excited to talk about Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor's upcoming fight, his fave athletes, and how certain streaming apps please the music nerd in him.
Favorite athlete of all time.
My favorite athlete was/is Pelé.
Exceptional choice. But why Pelé?
Phenomenal footballer. One of the greatest that's ever did it.
Usain Bolt, at this point.
I know you're a big music fan. Are you #TeamTidal, #TeamSpotify or #TeamAppleMusic?
I use Tidal and Apple Music. I think they're both great. I find Tidal interesting in terms of the accessibility to the footnotes and album credits. That's something I like. I'm bit of a nerd. I like to see who wrote stuff and produced it. I find Tidal a lot more accessible in that sense. I think Apple Music is a great service all around. It works almost everywhere in the world. I like that.
To train for The Dark Tower, you trained in both boxing and mixed martial arts.
The best I've been in physical and mental health, the time my body works the best, is when I train. I'm a competitive person. I love to fight. I have a pain threshold. I consider myself alive as long as I'm able to go somewhere and hit a bag.
How do you think Mayweather-McGregor will play out later this month?
Floyd Mayweather has a challenge on his hands. He's fighting someone at the peak of his career who's a very agile mixed martial artist. I believe that there is a real chance of McGregor not penetrating the impenetrable Floyd Mayweather as a boxer. But penetrating his composure as a fighter.
So you're giving McGregor a legit shot?
Listen, Floyd Mayweather's camp is like, 'Yo, man. How you gon' say that?' (Laughs.) But I never said he was gonna get beat. But there's a chance that McGregor can lay one on him. And if he does that, he's such a fast striker that he will continue to do it. Conor McGregor has nothing to lose. Floyd Mayweather has an impeccable 49-0 career to lose. So Conor McGregor's coming in to fight and Floyd is gonna have to box because that's what he knows. When you're a mixed martial artist, you have certain agility that does a couple of things. One, boxers move slightly different when you're being struck. And two, it gets annoying. Your composure goes in a different way because of the way kickboxers move. Now he's not allowed to kick. He's gonna have to box, but it's about the agility. It's about the striking, about how quickly they strike and the tempos. There are all sorts of things that I think Floyd needs to be very, very careful of. That's just my opinion.

How to keep Chinatown alive: Edmonton conference looks at big-city success stories
Edmonton's Chinatown could learn some lessons from Chicago as it prepares to submit recommendations on a new economic plan for the cultural neighbourhood.
Emma Graney
Lan Chan-Marples thinks Edmonton's Chinatown can learn some lessons from Chicago.
More than 100 years ago, before the term "gentrification" existed, residents of the Illinois city's Chinatown were displaced thanks to rising property values.
The neighbourhood relocated, but after a few decades, an interstate highway roared through and residents lost their only recreational facility.
The community spent the next 50 years trying to recover.
Celebrating its centennial, Chicago's Chinatown developed a clear plan of what residents wanted and where it would go in the future. The community looked long-term, co-chair of that planning effort, C.W. Chan, told the Edmonton Chinatown Conference over the weekend.
"We were at the table and master of our own fate," he said.
Chicago is one of few North American Chinatowns in North America that seems to have escaped a trend that has seen others disappear through redevelopment, gentrification and a lack of cultural preservation.

Chan was one of several presenters from Chinatowns in Canada and the U.S. who spoke of the challenges their communities are facing.
He said his city wasn't so much immune from the trend affecting Chinatowns today, it just reached those crossroads a lot earlier.
Chan-Marples organized the conference, and said it was heartening to hear from Chan how his community worked together to bolster that Chinatown' future.
"The nice thing about Edmonton is we are very united together in what we want in the Chinese community," she said Saturday.
This weekend's conference was a chance for Edmonton representatives to hear from other North American Chinatowns as it prepares to submit recommendations on a new economic plan for the cultural neighbourhood.
On Sunday, Chan-Marples said that plan will focus on getting the younger generation involved in transforming Chinatown in the future, and ensuring other groups feel welcome to use the spaces.
The difference between Edmonton and other North American Chinatowns is space –there are many vacant lots here, and Chan-Marples said that offers real opportunity.
"We could do such wonderful things with it," she said.
The community is also considering streetscaping to preserve its "architectural difference," and creating a heritage plaza for celebrations and commemorations.

66 Going very well and nearly on Leader Board when clutch started slipping. Stopped at Bungalow to adjust and re-started. Clutch went at Signpost and pushed in (honestly-wish I could do that now!) re-started and finished. Pleased that after all situations finished in every race.
Bikes were prepared and looked after for Isle of Man races by Paul Truscott. Paul also raced Goldstars in UK and now lives in Los Angeles. He is visiting the Isle Of Man with his son and grandson for the 2005 TT and will look after the 1973 Triumph Trident to be ridden by Mike in the TT Lap of Honour and the Egli Vincent being ridden by another ex racer, John Trewella.
In 1975 started racing single seater racing cars and by 1979 was 2nd in fastest non-professional Supersports racing. Won many races until 1979 when invited to race ex Nelson Piquet F3 car including UK GP Support races. Ended racing career driving March F3 car after crashing and demolishing ex Piquet car in wet practice for 1981 UK GP at Silverstone.

Vancouver Island Museum Of Nature
Words By Max Oudendag
Photo by Marek Zaleski
Trucking around the forest with filmmaker Marek Zaleski.
"I don't film what I see, I film what I feel" explains Marek Zaleski, as I carefully navigate my rusty old '94 Toyota Pickup between the menacing potholes littering the side road leading us to our destination. We're headed for the Medicine Bowls, a breathtaking spot along the Browns River, just outside Courtenay. I've only met Marek a few times, but I feel strangely comfortable showing him a few of my favourite natural spots in the Comox Valley. Normally I'd be a little more guarded, especially considering that he's a filmmaker.
Marek is keen to film in the Comox Valley. In regards to a project he's working on, it's captured his interest. As we wandered through the woods, I thought I'd get a little backstory from him for this article, but quickly realized that he's not at all interested in talking about himself. Happy to avoid any discomfort, I put my notebook away. To him that's not what's important anyways. And he's right.
What is important to Marek is his lifelong quest to help people gain—or regain—an emotional link to Mother Nature. Of all places to pursue this, he's chosen Vancouver Island for the power of its natural beauty. An accomplished world traveler, photographer, artist, and cinematographer, Marek's current project and passion is called VIMON, or the Vancouver Island Museum of Nature.
His goal is to create a series of engaging short films that use the calming and rejuvenating effects of nature to empower and heal the human spirit. He uses a high definition video camera to capture these natural moments. His camera never pans or zooms—it remains static. He frames a wilderness scene that feels right and leaves the camera rolling, allowing whatever it captures to take centre stage. Perhaps he's filming a bubbling stream in the late day sun, well eventually a dragonfly might meander through the scene, or maybe not. Whatever the case, the moment has captured you; your heart rate has eased, you're breathing a little deeper, that knot in your shoulder just vanished, and you feel inspired. It just happens. And that is what he wants.
Marek's vision for VIMON is multifaceted. He knows that anyone can benefit from taking a moment to connect with the natural world, so he sees huge potential. After years of preparation and filming on the Island, an Earth Day Screening of "Emotions in Nature" at Mountain Equipment Co-op in Victoria was VIMON's official Canadian Tour launch event. He's hoping that was the start, as he's working on a full scale production with IMAX theatres in mind. And his work is already being used for therapy in healthcare and wellness including Campbell River First Nations Health Council, recovery houses, hospice, and the Cumberland Lodge. Marek also sees his films being useful and appreciated in waiting rooms, restaurants, stores, on our screens… Anywhere people could benefit from a quick and relaxing encounter with true nature.
Marek has a certain charm about him—a calm confidence. With ever-turned up corners of his mouth and a twinkle in his eye that welcomes you to share in his vision, it's obvious that he believes in what he's doing, and why he's doing it. Either that, or he just spends too much time in the woods…
As our scouting mission comes to a successful end, I drop him off at the Riding Fool Hostel in Cumberland and he confides in me, "I think this is a good truck."

Country Programme Manager - Second Chance Education Programme (Open to Indian Nationals Only)
New Delhi (India)
Location: New Delhi (India)
Grade: NO-C, National Professional Officer - Locally recruited position - Mid level
Education, Learning and Training
Aligned with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, UN Women's Second Chance Education and Vocational Learning (SCE) Programme is a solution for those who have missed out on education. It aims to break current trends and provide a comprehensive solution for marginalized women and young women who are at risk of being left behind.
The project initiated in July 2018 aims to develop context specific, affordable and scalable learning, entrepreneurship and employment pathways for empowering the world's most disadvantaged women and young women. It offers women and young women, their families, local communities and societies the benefits of access to educational services which are tailored not only to their needs as learners, but also to their future as earners. The SCE Programme achieves this by leveraging the opportunities of innovative teaching approaches, digital technologies and social networks.
The Programme will contribute to the following outcomes: i) More marginalized women and young women access and benefit from high quality educational content, material and learning pathways; ii) More marginalized women and young women benefit from increased employment, livelihood and entrepreneurial opportunities; iii) Fewer marginalized women and young women are disadvantaged and denied education opportunities due to harmful and discriminatory social norms; iv) More marginalized women and young women have improved access to education and employment pathways through enhanced multi-sectoral policy and financing frameworks that enable scaling of successful SCE solutions.

Breaking Transfer news Virginia becomes second ACC women's basketball program to cancel season Metinews.com
MetiNews.Com - While men and women's college basketball attempts to finish as scheduled, one has to wonder if the ongoing pandemic could mean that others will eventually follow Virginia and Duke's lead and cancel their seasons.
Breaking News ! Virginia women's basketball program announced that they would be canceling the remainder of their season, making them the second women's school in the ACC to opt out of finishing their scheduled season, citing "health and safety concerns." While the official announcement was not made today, Virginia had not played a game in over a month, with six games being canceled or postponed due to COVID-19 protocols. "We have the pleasure of coaching a very resilient group of young women who have fought through injuries, a strict COVID-19 protocol, and all the mental battles that come with it," coach Tina Thompson said. "So, the decision to end our season mid-stream comes with great difficulty.
. The health and safety of our student-athletes will always be the number one priority. We will continue to focus on their overall well-being and prepare to resume competition in the fall."

US 8th Cir.
United States of America Plaintiff - Appellee v. Joe Willis Defendant - Appellant
Before RILEY, Chief Judge, GRUENDER and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
Joe Willis pleaded guilty to one count of using a communication facility to facilitate a drug offense, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 843(b). The district court 1 sentenced him to 48 months' imprisonment to run concurrent with his sentence on a state charge for which he was already incarcerated. Willis appeals his sentence, and we affirm.
On December 2, 2014, deputies of the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office discovered 125.3 grams of methamphetamine in Willis's vehicle. Willis was arrested, and the State of Arkansas charged him with possession of methamphetamine with purpose to deliver. Willis pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 84 months in the Arkansas Department of Corrections.
On March 3, 2015, Willis was charged by superseding indictment in the instant case. The indictment alleged that, from around June 2013 to October 10, 2014, Willis and thirty-four other defendants conspired to distribute methamphetamine ("conspiracy count"). See 21 U.S.C. § 846. The indictment also charged Willis with two counts of using a communication facility to facilitate a drug offense based on alleged telephone conversations he had in October 2014 ("phone counts"). See 21 U.S.C. § 843(b). Lastly, the indictment charged Willis with one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine based on the December 2, 2014 incident which led to his state court conviction ("possession count"). See 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(B).
On October 23, 2015, Willis pleaded guilty to one of the phone counts in exchange for the Government's agreement to move to dismiss the three remaining counts. The Pre-Sentence Investigation Report calculated Willis's guideline range to be 48 months of imprisonment, the statutory maximum for the phone count. See 21 U.S.C. § 843(d)(1); U.S.S.G. § 5G1.1(a). It also stated that, pursuant to United States Sentencing Guideline § 5G1.3(b), the court should adjust the sentence for any period of imprisonment already served for convictions that are relevant conduct to the instant offense, and it noted that Willis had "been in custody since December 2, 2014, for a conviction that is relevant conduct."
At the sentencing hearing, the district court agreed that Willis's conviction in state court was "relevant conduct" to the instant offense. As a result, the court adjusted the recommended guideline sentence from 48 months to 30 months to account for the 18 months that Willis had been in state custody following the December 2, 2014 arrest.
The district court then heard argument regarding whether it should vary upward from 30 months. The court noted that several other defendants charged in the superseding indictment received sentences of 48 months after each pleaded guilty to one phone count, and it asked whether a sentence of 30 months would give Willis "a windfall, a lower sentence, even though the conduct is roughly similar to these other people." Counsel for Willis responded that the other defendants were not serving a state sentence based on relevant conduct and thus "it's not a windfall because he's actually serving a sentence that's longer than those other folks got." The Government countered that although Willis's conduct was similar to that of the other defendants "in terms of what he was doing on the phone," Willis "also did something to earn that time in [state prison] that the other people didn't, and that is driving with this quarter pound of methamphetamine." The Government also pointed out that if Willis had pleaded guilty to the federal possession count, which carries a statutory maximum sentence of 40 years, the low end of his guideline range would have been 84 months instead of 48 months. See 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(B).
After hearing this argument, the district court decided to impose a sentence of 48 months, to run concurrent with Willis's state sentence. See U.S.S.G. 5G1.3(b)(2). The court acknowledged that the guidelines suggested a lower sentence because of the time Willis already served on the state conviction but concluded that "there is the real potential for a windfall" if it imposed a sentence of less than 48 months. Willis objected to the sentence, and he now appeals.
In reviewing a sentence, we first ask whether the district court committed "significant procedural error," such as "failing to calculate (or improperly calculating) the Guidelines range, treating the Guidelines as mandatory, failing to consider the § 3553(a) factors, selecting a sentence based on clearly erroneous facts, or failing to adequately explain the chosen sentence—including an explanation for any deviation from the Guidelines range." United States v. Feemster, 572 F.3d 455, 461 (8th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (quoting Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007)). "Absent procedural error, we should then consider the substantive reasonableness of the sentence imposed under an abuse-of-discretion standard." United States v. Cole, 721 F.3d 1016, 1024 (8th Cir. 2013) (quotations omitted). "A district court abuses its discretion when it (1) fails to consider a relevant factor that should have received significant weight; (2) gives significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor; or (3) considers only the appropriate factors but in weighing those factors commits a clear error of judgment." Feemster, 572 F.3d at 461 (quotations omitted).
First, Willis argues that the district court procedurally erred by failing to adequately explain its chosen sentence. In considering "whether the district court sufficiently explained the sentence imposed, we bear in mind that the court need not specifically respond to every argument made by the defendant or mechanically recite each § 3553(a) factor." United States v. Struzik, 572 F.3d 484, 487 (8th Cir. 2009) (citations omitted). Rather, we ask whether the district court has "set forth enough to [show] that [it] has considered the parties' arguments and has a reasoned basis for exercising [its] own legal decisionmaking authority." Id.
Here, we find no procedural error in this regard. The district court stated that it understood the argument that "the guidelines suggest the lower sentence because of the time that [Willis] already served on this state conviction for conduct that the guidelines consider relevant." The court then explained that it nevertheless believed that it must "be fair across the various members of the group and to treat similarly situated people similarly." See § 3553(a)(6) (stating that the court shall consider "the need to avoid unwarranted sentence disparities among defendants with similar records who have been found guilty of similar conduct"). Thus, the court adequately explained the reason for its sentence.
Second, Willis argues that the district court abused its discretion by giving significant weight to an improper factor and by clearly erring in weighing the factors. Specifically, Willis contends that the district court's reasoning that he would receive a windfall if he received a 30-month sentence was incorrect. Willis claims that a 30-month federal sentence in addition to his state sentence would allow him to spend approximately the same total amount of time in prison as the similarly situated defendants. In contrast, with a 48-month federal sentence, he claims he will serve 18 months more than the similarly situated defendants.
However, Willis ignores the fact that he committed an additional crime justifying the extra time. Willis and the similarly situated defendants pleaded guilty only to the phone counts, but Willis also was convicted of the state offense of possessing methamphetamine with purpose to deliver. Although the additional crime of possession may have been "relevant" to the phone count, it does not mean that Willis should serve the same amount of total prison time as other defendants who were convicted only of the same phone offense. Indeed, as the Government noted at sentencing, if Willis also had been convicted of the possession count in federal court, the low end of his guidelines range would have been 84 months instead of 48 months. Because the federal possession count was dismissed, Willis is serving only a state sentence for this additional crime. Thus, the district court did not abuse its discretion in varying upward to prevent Willis from receiving a lesser federal sentence than similarly situated defendants who committed the same crime.
Third, Willis argues that the district court violated Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32(h), which requires a court to provide "reasonable notice that it is contemplating ․ a departure" from "the applicable sentencing range." Fed. R. Crim. P. 32(h). However, the notice required under Rule 32(h) "is not required when the adjustment to the sentence is effected by a variance, rather than by a departure." United States v. Long Soldier, 431 F.3d 1120, 1122 (8th Cir. 2005). Because the court imposed a variance instead of a departure, no notice was required.
Lastly, Willis argues that, under 18 U.S.C. § 3585(b), he is entitled to pre-sentence custody credit against his federal sentence for all of his pre-sentence incarceration. However, § 3585(b) applies only to the United States Attorney General acting through the Bureau of Prisons, and the issue is not ripe for review until the Attorney General makes a sentence credit determination. See United States v. Westmoreland, 974 F.2d 736, 738 (6th Cir. 1992) ("Until the Attorney General makes a sentence credit determination under section 3585(b), the case is not ripe for review by the District Court.").
Therefore, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
1. The Honorable D.P. Marshall, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
PER CURIAM.


Lee Ufan Framed Art Print "From Line"
Lee Ufan (born 1965, Korea) emerged as one of the founders and major proponents of the avant-garde Mono-ha Object School group in the late 1960s. Mono-ha was Japan's first internationally recognized contemporary art movement, rejecting Western notions of representation and emphasizing materials and perception and interrelationships between space and matter. Lee's early painting series, From Point and From Line (1972–84) present a minimal, gestural act that induces in the viewer a live experience of passing time and physical (rather than depicted) space. In these works, Lee combines ground mineral pigment with animal-skin glue, traditional to East Asian painting on silk. Restricting his palette to a single color on a white ground—cobalt blue or burnt orange, evoking sky or earth, respectively—Lee loads his brush with this powdery, crystalline emulsion and, in From Point, marks the canvas with regular dabs from left to right until there is no more color left. He then repeats this act until rows of gradually fading marks fill the entire canvas. The From Line series pursues a similar systematic approach, moving vertically with single gestural strokes. Lee uses the means of abstract minimalism—seriality, the grid, and monochrome—to alternative ends, emphasizing the gestural mark, the edge, and surface as physical affirmations of existence.

There are many of these available with a variety of features on offer, but they all offer the same key benefit: see what projects you are working on, when they are due, and what stage you are at in them.
As many business owners have found, keeping an archive of handwritten notes is impractical. Single-PC diaries (Outlook, Thunderbird etc.) rarely allow for teamwork or checking your workload on a mobile device.
An example of two that do allow you to do this are Trello and Basecamp. Both are from very reputable software companies (Fog Creek Software and 37 Signals, respectively). Trello is currently free, and will always have a free plan according to its creators, while Basecamp is a subscription-based service starting at $20/month.
Basecamp is the more user-friendly of the two, guiding you through the project processes with minimum clutter. Clients and colleagues can be invited on a per project basis to give feedback, share files and create the central repository for your on-going work.
Keeping track of conversations, agreements, deals and tasks can be done in a Customer Relationship Manager such as HighriseHQ. The free plan of this app, again by 37 signals, allows you to track up to 250 clients and build a file on your interactions with them over time. This is a great tool to use when calling a range of prospects and keen to record the interested parties.
Alternatives are Salesforce, FatFreeCRM, Microsoft Dynamics, Zoho CRM and many more. Even an Excel spreadsheet can get you started, but a nice interface and interconnectivity between deals, projects and contacts is extremely useful.
In the past I have found myself wondering just how many hours a week I was losing to news reading and social media. I heard about RescueTime, signed up for the free package ($9/month otherwise), and let it start to track my time spent online.
There turned out to be patterns, with key times I would go from work to the web of news and information, often for extended periods. It helped me to recognise the patterns and break them, freeing me to be much more productive in subsequent years. Seeing graphs of your working behaviour is a very intuitive way to understand where improvements can be made. It beats a blanket rule on 'no social media or news reading during work hours' because it allows you to start using them more productively, sometimes perfectly in line with a marketing strategy.
I keep unimportant and temporary notes in a simple Windows Notepad file, saving it often (Ctrl+S). I press the F5-key whenever I enter a new note. This inserts the date and time automatically, and the whole file can then be searched for keywords at a later date. It is a simple solution, yet a vast improvement on my old pile of paper, despite my enjoyment of handwriting and physically putting pen to paper.
If you use Windows and work with XML, HTML or any other kind of tagged or coded file, grab a free copy of Notepad++ and benefit from its advanced search, save, colour-coding and text encoding features. I once used it to edit a line-break on every other line from an AutoCAD DXF file (for engineering drawings) automatically, using the macro function to record my keystrokes and save me from over 25,000 repetitive movements of pressing down-down-delete. Another useful benefit of a tool like Notepad++ are in its ability to search using Regular Expressions, or regex, allowing complex search queries to segment and join the text in new ways.
Solid Mac alternatives to Notepad++ are TextMate or TextWrangler, offering similar functionality.
An extremely efficient way to make sales is by hanging your virtual shingle out on the internet 24/7. There are many ways to make sure your sign gets seen, and then you have the task of converting viewers to buyers. This is covered in depth in the next section as it is such a key aspect of a modern marketing strategy.
Suffice it to say that having a website of your own can be a productivity tool in itself, in that it automates the sales, trust and information process to a large degree.
This can affect where you work, or are able to work and how you work. A subjective area for many, but for me the Lenovo netbook I have been using for 3 years is perfection (my review). It is powerful enough to load up massive TMs and many tabs in the browser, with capacity to play a video and listen to music if required, in a small form factor.
Modern netbooks are affordable, with full-size keyboards (sometimes splash or waterproof – as I have accidentally tested), fast processors and a large RAM capacity in a lightweight, long-battery-life package.
Obviously tablets ('surfaces and pads') don't yet let us install our full range of tools and offer little in the way of typing efficiency or processing power, but in time we should start to be able to consider these as an option. Especially when they allow us to install CAT tools.
For now, the netbook wins for me in terms of freedom and power. I'd assign a large percentage of my overall productivity score to the computer I use, and the freedom to use it in many places.
When making upgrades to your computer, an SSD (solid state drive) as a replacement for a spinning disk is very worthwhile. It can boost loading times for TMs, software and processing or exporting documents by between 5 to 10 times, at the fraction of a cost of a full upgrade.
The SSD, plus additional RAM, also helps with virtualisation, which involves running a different operating system within your current one. So, Mac users can use Parallels to run Windows or Linux within their Mac environment, and Windows users can run Mac or Linux systems while still within Windows. This is great for running incompatible or untrusted software while still being able to work in your normal environment. Windows users can look to VMWare and VirtualBox for free solutions.
Try to learn the shortcuts in your most frequently used applications to enjoy a quick productivity increase.
As for pure typing speed, you can test yours at Ten Fast Fingers. You don't need to sign up to this site, it offers the test in some 40 languages and is built well enough to ensure testing consistency.
Mine is stable at around 80/90 wpm. The average on this site, over millions of tests, is around 40wpm. The fastest typist I know clocks in at around 100-120 wpm (not even in his first language) depending on the test. For a sustainable speed, including the work of translation and research, tipping past 40wpm for 30 minutes in each hour will still give you over 1000 words per hour, well above the typical translation speed. Any gains in speed you can muster in this area will let you finish the translation stages of a project in a much shorter time. Depending on how you work, you may like to spend the saved time with a print-out and a proofread to finalise the project.
If you'd rather not use your fingers, feel free to try voice recognition, now packaged as standard from Windows 7, or for a truly smart voice engine try Dragon Naturally Speaking for PC or Mac. With voice recognition a constant 'typing' speed of 100 wpm is not out of the question.
Another tool you can use to type faster is AutoHotkey. It offers the ability to automate anything you are able to do with your PC. Your imagination is the limit, and there are many examples to be found online to inspire you. As a starting point you can consider this script for predictive typing and the autocorrection of some 4700+ common misspellings. More of a tool for the brave and productivity die-hards, but certainly capable of boosting output, as detailed in one of the translator interviews below.
Then I would suggest this one, which is more of a health tool: F.Lux changes your screen colour-tone as the day goes on, based on your location, to ensure that your eyes remain unstrained. It also helps you to sleep better when working late by removing the blue light from the screen, which studies have shown keeps you awake for longer by resetting your natural ('circadian') rhythms. A new version is available for 2014.
Further savings in time can be made in areas of administration. To freelance translators this mainly amounts to invoicing, keeping records and chasing payments. The tool I use for this is called Freeagent, it is subscription based with various levels for different business structures. It handles multiple currencies, exchange rate gains and losses, invoicing, overdue bills, expenses and shows all relevant tax information automatically. See my review here.
Compared to my old method of constantly editing an Excel invoice template, manually scanning for outstanding payments and trying to add up all income, costs and expenses by hand or in a spreadsheet, I estimate savings of at least 5 hours a month. For the sake of argument, that could represent some £3000 a year in earning potential, if I priced my time at £50/hour. Couple this with the use of all of the above tools, including the increased quality of service I offer to clients and you can see how it's not only the earning potential that increases, but total earnings themselves as more repeat orders roll in.
These tools form a solid infrastructure on which to grow. It doesn't ever spiral out of control as the systems manage the complexity while I feed it work and orders. I then produce a reliable record for myself, the government and clients, while given more time to concentrate on the work itself. I highly recommend investing in this area where possible.

The iPhone Of Tomorrow Could Have A GigaPixel Lensless Camera
Productivity Tips and Apps	by Productivity Hub January 15, 2020 January 15, 2020
Computer-assisted imaging technologies are taking smartphone photography to the next level.
It's only been 3 years since Apple introduced dual camera phones with the release of the iPhone 7 — allowing users to capture zoom shots without adding digital grain or the bulk of a mechanical zoom system. Apple's solution wasn't elegant: they just cloned the camera and used a different lens. It solved the problem— but it came at a cost.
Part of the cost of adding the extra camera was financial: the original iPhone 7 camera module cost about $26, or about 9.5% of total the production cost of the phone, but the cost rose to to $32.50 for the iPhone 8+, and the triple lens on today's iPhone 11 Pro Max brought it up to $73.50.
The 4-camera module on the upcoming iPhone 12
In addition to the cost of components, the larger camera arrays take up more internal space, add weight to the phone, increase manufacturing complexity, and make future camera system upgrades more expensive — and if Apple adds a 4th time of flight camera to the iPhone 12 Max, the issue will be compounded.
What started as a workaround is becoming a problem — but it doesn't have to be. Advances in optical technology are driving research into lensless cameras, which could eliminate the need for multiple cameras entirely and open the door to massive improvements in smartphone photography — and the big one is the resolution.
The Biggest Obstacle To High-Res Is The Lens
The three rear cameras on the iPhone 11 Pro all take 12-megapixel images — despite other camera manufacturers experimenting with resolutions over 40 megapixels. Apple has intentionally kept their resolutions lower to avoid 'Airy disk' diffraction issues created by the small camera lenses & aperture on smartphones.
As has written:
"Ideally, you want the size of an Airy disk to be small enough that it doesn't overlap from one pixel to many others. On most recent flagships, pixel sizes aren't much smaller than the diameter of the Airy disks present in those systems. But because they use such small sensor sizes, they've had to limit resolution in order to avoid Airy disk overlap…"
In other words, smartphones can't rewrite the laws of physics: and the smaller the lens and higher the pixel density, the worse image quality will be. It also means that for smartphone cameras to continue evolving, a fundamental change is needed in the design.
Introducing The Lensless Camera
The idea of a lensless camera goes back to the mid-1800's with the invention of the pinhole camera, but for modern imaging something more elaborate is required, which is why innovators at the University of Utah, Bell Labs, Caltech, Hitachi, and Rice University are all working on lensless camera technologies. These solutions utilize innovative focal technologies combined with computer-assisted imaging software to create images without the lens:
UT Research scientists develop a lensless camera that uses a flat glass window
A story by PetaPixel describes UT research that ditches the camera lens in favor of capturing light through a standard pane of glass, and then use an AI system to construct a photo out of the light captured.
"When an ordinary digital camera sensor is pointed at an object without a lens focusing light, the resulting photo looks like an undecipherable mess of colors. But that blob of pixel data actually still has enough information for computers to understand — you just need to train an AI system in "decoding" that blob to recover what the scene looked like."
The Bell Labs lensless LCD camera and an example photo taken with it
Back in 2013, Bell Labs invented a lensless camera that MIT Tech Review described as an "LCD panel that acts as an array of apertures that each allow light to pass through and a single sensor capable of detecting light three colours". This simple, cheap device was built from off-the-shelf parts has many advantages over traditional cameras:
"This revolutionary lensless camera has a number of advantages over a conventional camera. First is the tiny amount of data required to create images. Without a lens, these images suffer none of the aberrations and focusing problems associated with lenses. The scene is entirely in focus and the resolution of the image depends on the size and number of the apertures and the point-like nature of the light sensor."
Caltech's chip-sized lensless camera with example images
More recently, engineers at Caltech also created a lensless camera using an Optical Phased Array (OPA), which functions by changing a controlled time-delay on the individual "pixels" in a sensor array. Caltech's Ali Hajimiri said:
"We've created a single thin layer of integrated silicon photonics that emulates the lens and sensor of a digital camera, reducing the thickness and cost of digital cameras. It can mimic a regular lens, but can switch from a fish-eye to a telephoto lens instantaneously — with just a simple adjustment in the way the array receives light."
Hitacjhi's lensless camera uses moiré & math, not glass
This well-known camera manufacturer has developed a system using Moiré fringes and mathmatical fourier transforms to capture images & video without a lens, and capable of being focused after the picture is taken, according to PetaPixel:
"The secret is a 'film imprinted with a concentric-circle pattern' that is laid directly on top of the image sensor. The pattern casts a shadow onto the sensor during image capture, which is then compared to a second, similar pattern that is superimposed onto the image during processing."
The Rice University FlatCam and a sample photograph
Another project covered by PetaPixel was the development of a Pinhole camera by Rice University — called the FlatCam, this lensless camera is thinner than a coin:
"the FlatCam is essentially a sensor chip that ditches the sensor in favor of a mask that has roots in the world of pinhole cameras. Instead of a single hole, however, the mask features a grid-like pattern with multiple apertures that each allow different light to hit the sensor's surface. As with light field cameras (e.g. Lytro), the FlatCam's photos can be refocused after exposures are made."
Lensless camera technology is still in its infancy but as it continues to develop it may serve to completely replace the multi-camera arrays used in the iPhone and other smartphones on the market — which would be a massive leap forward in the world of smartphone photography.
The lens is a giant limiting factor in cameras because of its size & shape, so if you can get rid of it completely then you can utilize a larger CMOS sensor capable of capturing more light — and capable of producing larger, more detailed images & lossless digital zoom without the bulk of optics or duplication of components.
Lensless cameras like the ones above open the door to much higher resolutions, and completely new ways to focus — as well as more exotic technologies like capturing Infrared and UV wavelengths, and even applications for 3D photography from a single camera sensor.

Der Winzerkrieg ist ein deutsch-österreichisches Familien-Drama von Peter Sämann aus dem Jahr 2011.

Handlung
Die Winzerin Franziska Habicht wird bei einem Festakt zur "Winzerin des Jahres" ernannt. Trotzdem ist die Stimmung gedrückt, da Franziska während ihrer Dankesrede an ihren vor zwei Jahren verstorbenen Mann Anton erinnert. Schließlich bittet sie ihren Sohn David auf die Bühne, der den Preis "eigentlich verdient hat", da er in die Fußstapfen seines Vaters getreten ist.

Josef Fink, der Besitzer eines konkurrierenden Weinguts, ist auch unter den Gästen der Preisverleihung. Im Anschluss versucht er Franziska zu überzeugen "in Rente" zu gehen und ihm ihr Weingut zu verkaufen. Diese möchte den Besitz jedoch bald ihrem Sohn überschreiben. Währenddessen flirtet David mit Marie, Josefs Tochter. Sie verrät ihm, dass sie nach Wien auf eine Modeschule gehen möchte.

Noch am selben Abend stoßen Franziska und David daheim auf den Erfolg an. David erzählt seiner Mutter von Maries Plänen und meldet Zweifel an, ob Josef mit der Entscheidung seiner Tochter glücklich sein wird. Da man sich für andere nie verbiegen solle, begrüßt Franziska Maries Entschluss.

Am nächsten Tag bekommt Josef einen Anruf seines Rechtsanwalt. Es wurde ein altes Dokument gefunden, nachdem der Weinberg der Habichts schon vor 400 Jahren an die Familie Fink überschrieben wurde. Folglich dürfe Franziska ein angemessenes Kaufangebot Josefs nicht mehr länger ablehnen. Diese reagiert jedoch wütend auf die Nachricht und droht mit ihrem Anwalt. Josef bittet daraufhin seine Tochter David in Zukunft etwas auszuhorchen.

Als sich die beiden am Weinberg zum Knutschen treffen, erzählt David, dass er mit nach Wien kommen möchte, um einer Entwicklergruppe beizutreten, die sich mit alternativen Energien beschäftigt. Marie beichtet ihm, dass sie ihn aushorchen soll. Sie fragen sich, woher das ominöse Dokument kommt und beschließen der Sache auf den Grund zu gehen.

Währenddessen überredet Franziska eine befreundete Bankangestellte, einen gewährleisteten Kredit Josefs früher als geplant zurückzufordern, damit dieser in Geldnöte gerät. Da ihr Anwalt Franziska und ihrem Sohn zu bedenken gibt, dass ein eventueller Prozess sich über Jahre hinziehen könne, denkt David erstmals laut darüber nach das Weingut zu verkaufen. Franziska weigert sich jedoch nach wie vor.

Obwohl Josef sich in der Folge versucht mit sachlichen Argumenten Franziska anzunähern, endet ein erneutes Gespräch wieder im Streit. Marie möchte dem Ganzen ein Ende machen und versucht ihren Vater zu überreden, das alte Dokument zu vernichten. Josef, immer noch vom Streit aufgewühlt, behauptet, dass David kein wahrer Winzer sei. Darauf möchte dieser endlich wissen, woher das Dokument so plötzlich kommt. Josef verrät ihm, dass es von seinem Vater Anton stammt. Dieser hätte es der Familie Fink wohl zukommen lassen, da er gewusst habe, dass David das Weingut nicht vernünftig weiterführen könne.

Weil Franziska auch hinter das Geheimnis des Dokuments kommen möchte, bricht sie am Abend ins Haus der Finks ein und durchsucht Josefs Schreibtisch. Dabei wird sie von Marie und David gehört, die sich im oberen Stock in Maries Zimmer aufhalten. Bevor beide die Treppe hinunterkommen können, wurde Franziska schon vom heimkommenden Josef auf frischer Tat erwischt. Dieser ruft sofort die Polizei. Um die Situation zu beruhigen deckt Marie Franziska, indem sie behauptet, dass diese sich mit ihrem Einverständnis in der Wohnung aufgehalten und lediglich nach einem Stift gesucht hätte.

Am Folgetag besucht Franziska Josef in seinen Produktionsräumen. Josef besteht weiterhin darauf, dass David kein Winzer sei und Franziska daher an ihn verkaufen solle. Diese erzählt ihm von Maries Wien-Plänen, worauf Josef vor Schreck zusammenbricht. Franziska ruft den Notarzt und leistet Erste Hilfe. Als sich Josef später im Krankenhaus wieder berappelt hat, stellt er Marie zur Rede. Diese verlässt darauf weinend die Klinik.

Wieder zuhause suchen Marie und David nach einem Beweis, dass das alte Dokument keine Gültigkeit besitzt. Sie beschließen in alten Kirchenbüchern zu recherchieren. Noch bevor sie aufbrechen können, kommt Franziska dazu und sagt ihnen, dass sie beschlossen habe, das Weingut an Josef zu verkaufen. Darauf gesteht David ihr, dass er kein Winzer werden will und dass Josef das alte Dokument von Anton bekommen habe. Franziska will dies nicht glauben und wirft ihrem Sohn vor, auf Josefs Seite zu sein.

Am Abend brechen Marie und David zum örtlichen Kloster auf. Da sie vom Vorsteher nur spärliche Informationen erhalten, verschaffen sie sich wenig später unberechtigten Zugang in das Gebäude. Im alten Weinkeller finden sie Fässer mit der Inschrift "J. F.", die für Jonas Fink, einem Vorfahren Josefs, steht. In einem alten Buch finden sie zudem Hinweise auf einen Jakobus Habicht, einem Urahn von Anton Habicht. Irgendwie stellt sich heraus, dass aufgrund eines Katholiken-Protestanten-Problems Jonas Fink und Jakobus Habicht ein und derselbe Mann waren. Dieser war gezwungen seinen Namen zu ändern und überschrieb sein Weingut quasi sich selbst, damit er es nach der Namensänderung noch behalten konnte. Plötzlich fällt die Tür des Weinkellers ins Schloss und Marie und David sind eingesperrt.

Zur gleichen Zeit stattet Josef Franziska einen Besuch ab. Während sie zusammen Wein trinken, erzählt Josef, dass er sich entschlossen habe, alles zu verkaufen. Außerdem möchte er mit Franziska eine Reise nach Italien machen. Diese fühlt sich von Josefs Annäherungsversuchen überrumpelt und schickt ihn im Regen nach Hause.

Am nächsten Morgen vermissen Franziska und Josef ihre Kinder. Ihre Suche führt sie auch zum Kloster. Der diensthabende Mönch bemerkt sie nicht, da er einen Hörschutz trägt, während er mit einem Rasenmähertraktor der Gartenarbeit nachgeht. Also betreten sie auf eigene Faust das Kloster und finden aufgrund eines Lustschreis von Marie auch bald ihre Sprösslinge. Nach einem kurzen peinlichen Moment berichten Marie und David über ihre Recherche-Ergebnisse. Das alte Dokument besitzt somit keine Gültigkeit mehr.

Wieder zuhause, schenkt Josef Marie eine Büste, an der sie ihre Modekreationen ausprobieren kann. Auch Franziska und David haben sich wieder lieb. Schließlich fahren Franziska und Josef zusammen nach Italien, nicht ohne noch vorher ihr Techtelmechtel zu hinterfragen, da sie ja schließlich denselben Vorfahren haben.

Hintergrund
Die Idee zum Drehbuch kam Autor und Hauptdarsteller August Schmölzer bei einem Glas Wein in seinem Heimatort St. Stefan ob Stainz. Dort wurde der Film schließlich auch gedreht.

Die Dreharbeiten begannen am 6. Juli 2010. Die deutsche Erstausstrahlung erfolgte am 16. Dezember 2011 in der ARD und auf ORF 2.

According to a study, two in three women regularly use a deodorant. Do you prefer roll-ons, sprays, atomisers or sticks? Read on to find out which deodorant suits you best.
Deodorant sprays and atomisers have been immensely popular since as early as 1965 and are the undisputed number one choice among consumers. The spray result at the press of a button is convenient and ensures an ideal distribution of the active and nurturing ingredients. The whole armpit is refreshed and given a great fragrance.
The second most popular type is the handy roll-on deodorant, which came onto the market in the 1950s. Thanks to its practical applicator, you can apply the deodorant's active ingredients with great precision, and it's now even available in an aluminium-free version.
The deodorant stick is catching up, too, but is currently still in third place. It leaves behind a thin layer of cream on the skin, offering reliable protection and leaving the skin feeling dry.Deodorant creams work in a very similar way: they prevent odour-forming bacteria and provide the skin under the arms with moisture and nourishing ingredients. Most deodorant creams are alcohol-free and are therefore also ideal for sensitive skin.
Did you know that NIVEA Pure & Natural Action Roll-on contains absolutely no aluminium? The Fresh product range therefore contains the first roll-on which effectively inhibits the growth of odour-forming bacteria using an antibacterial formula, and what's more, it does this without using aluminium.
The nature-identical active ingredient BIO-FLORINE® in Pure & Natural Action provides the optimal combination of mild NIVEA® care and effective deodorant protection, allowing your skin to breathe freely! And of course, the fragrance of Fresh Pure, Natural and Flower, as well as the men's fragrances Active and Ocean, are also available as a deodorant spray.
What deodorant type are you?
Do deodorants leave stains on our clothing?
If you take a cold shower, you won't sweat. This is only true in the short term. A cold shower certainly does cool the body down, but the body balances out the temperature after a short time.
If you use deodorants on freshly shaved skin, you risk getting razor burn. Wrong: razor burn is not caused by deodorants, but because sensitive skin is irritated by shaving. Use a shaving foam or shaving gel to protect your skin. You should then go for a deodorant without alcohol, such as NIVEA Pure & Sensitive Spray. Nevertheless, avoid applying antiperspirant for a while after shaving.
Another belief: Deodorants and antiperspirants block the pores in the skin. In fact, aluminium-free deodorants work on the surface of the skin, neutralising odour-forming bacteria. In contrast, the antiperspirant ingredients constrict the pores for a limited lime to reduce sweating. This ensures a fresh feeling and has absolutely no negative effects on your skin. It can continue to breathe freely.
