Stats that stood out against Texas A
Gholston carving out a role
Nearly every player on Mizzou's roster had a subpar shooting night against Texas A&M on Wednesday. DeAndre Gholston was one of them. The graduate senior guard shot just 2-9 from the floor — his lowest field goal percentage in any game this year — and 1-4 from deep.
Yet, Gholston still ended the evening with 10 points. It's the sixth time in the past seven games he's posted double digits. He's emerged as the Tigers' third-leading scorer behind graduate senior guard D'Moi Hodge and senior forward Kobe Brown, averaging 10.8 points.
The Milwaukee transfer was able to pick up extra points against the Aggies by getting to the free throw line, leading Mizzou by going 5-7 at the stripe. According to KenPom, Gholston's drawn 5.2 fouls per 40 minutes this year, the best rate on the team, the best rate of his career and the 178th-best rate in the country. That number has bumped up to 6.5 fouls drawn per 40 minutes through the first four games of conference play, which ranks eighth in the SEC. He connects on a high number of his foul shots, too, knocking them down at a 79.6% clip.
Gholston's habitual trips to the line stem from his ability to take defenders off the dribble. When opponents are able to slow down the tempo and force Mizzou to play offense in a halfcourt setting, the team will often turn to Gholston to penetrate, driving all the way to the rim or kicking the ball back out for a 3-pointer.
He provides value as a shooter, too. Gholston was inconsistent from beyond the arc early in the season, sinking just 23% of his triples through the team's first 10 matchups. But he's found his range over the last six games, shooting 8-14 — three of the misses coming in the Tigers' most recent game against Texas A&M. He's now up to 33.3% on the season, a tick below the national average.
Many of Gholston's shots also come during crucial points within a game, either sparking a run for Missouri, extinguishing a run for an opponent or beating the buzzer for a game-winner. Head coach Dennis Gates said he spoke with Gholston in the Mizzou Arena parking lot for two and a half hours after the team's loss to Arkansas on Jan. 4 in which the senior had just seven points. Gates said he wanted to remind Gholston of his worth to the team. Gholston responded with 18 points in the Tigers' next game, an 85-82 win over Vanderbilt on Jan. 7.
Gholston's run of solid performances coincided with Gates taking him out of the starting lineup. The 6-foot-4 guard took the move to the bench in stride and established himself as an essential part of the rotation. Mizzou will need Gholston to keep it up as the team moves further into SEC play.

Leaders' Friday Luncheon Co-Hosts thank our attendees and sponsors of the 5th Annual Leaders' Friday Luncheon Reception. Please see the ad from Tampa Bay Times.
Thank You sponsors and attendees of the 4th Annual Reception!
TAMPA - The first move is to join a professional networking group. Local entrepreneur Aakash Patel started his own called "Leaders Friday Luncheon."
"We said let's get together and continue to find out who the next generation of leaders are. So the first Friday of the month, myself and three other young professionals invite a community leader and we all meet and just talk about what's going on in Tampa Bay," he said.
Tampa's leader must nurture young talent : It's a conversation embedded in my memory. One balmy evening on the deck at Four Green Fields, I began lamenting about how so many promising young professionals flee Tampa Bay because established power brokers never open the door to aspiring stars and hopeful newcomers.
Leaders' Friday Luncheon is talked about on the Radio!
Executives in the Sarasota-Bradenton area who crave a lunch-based networking opportunity that doesn't revolve around providing referrals have a new option. The group is called Lunch with Leaders. Dan Forbes, a financial adviser with the Bradenton office of Merrill Lynch, launched the group earlier this month. It's modeled after the Leaders Friday Luncheon group in Tampa.
"Future Leaders Firday Luncheon was our inspiration" - LunchWithLeaders in Sarasota, Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch found it's inspiration from Future Leaders Friday Luncheon in Tampa. Aakash M. Patel, President of Elevate, Inc., and Co-founder of FLFL was helpful to share his ideas and advice with LunchWithLeaders.
The latest commercial from gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott shows him driving through distressed real estate areas, but he distressed me because it appears he's looking at the camera, not at where he's going. Hey Rick, keep your eyes on the road. Florida attorney general candidate Pam Bondi turned out an impressive group at a political fundraiser last week at the Davis Islands home of Sandy and Dottie Berger MacKinnon.
Where do like-minded movers and shakers go to talk about the next great happenings, discuss policies and work together toward positive change? Future Leaders Friday Luncheon. Created by four young professionals between the ages of 25-34, the luncheon program is designed to connect generations of Tampa Bay leadership and provide a forum for individuals with an interest in the region's long-term future. The Future Leaders Friday Luncheon allows individuals to get to know one another, share the causes they support and discuss ways to grow and improve the community.

Companies & industry 6 March 2010
Mascara Plus: to handle growth
A 50% increase in turnover in 2009 compared to 2008 .... A forecast for the year of + 30%! It is true that for the twenty employees of Mascara Plus including David Chant, at the head, Alistair Beavan, Director of Operations and Valentina Gelosa, Technical Director, time went by and every day was the same. A daily obsession, how can the growth be handled?
Targeted growth
A real saga the Italian way, the story of this company created by David Chant, a former executive from L'Oreal who specialized in formulating and manufacturing mascara. A true talent, which incidentally obliged him to wait patiently for a year, the necessary time for him to be released from the restraint of trade clause, before he could set off alone on a big adventure in 2002 with the help of a small network of subcontractors.
David Chant, CEO, Mascara Plus
After two years spent alone in Turin, our man starts to structure his business internally and settles in the actual existing plant on the outskirts of Milan in 2005. A pivotal year where the firm displays a turnover of EUR 400,000. Four years later, the figure exceeds EUR 3 million and the production capacity of 25 tons / month is no longer sufficient.
"And we have specialized solely on mascara and we are staying on it! No question of getting involved in other products. We are already finding it difficult to supplying. Why diversify?", insists David Chant.
A mascara with a double brush
The reasons for success? "Precisely this specialty, says Alistair Beavan, Director of Operations, and of course the quality of our products. Incidentally, one is the result of the other".
And then there are a few tricks like the double brush mascara developed by the Italian firm with a special machine installed in Asia but belonging to the company. The brush can lengthen, define and give volume to eyelashes at once.
"There is above all the acknowledged qualities of our formulations," underlines David Chant, "which allow us to position ourselves at all levels of the market."
To meet strong market demand, the firm has equipped itself, last October, with a filling and labeling line capable of processing 30 000 pieces / day. Investment cost: EUR 200,000.
"And we have no intention of stopping our efforts, says David Chant, since we have plans to purely and simply double the production workshop by the end of 2010".

99 Giving Day: Together, We Do Good Things Well
The year 2019 marks the fifth session of Tencent's annual philanthropic campaign "99 Giving Day".
Five years ago, Tencent created the "99 Giving Day" from scratch, with the belief that the pain point of the society is the starting point of charity, a move that intended to connect and build trust with people via technology. Five years on, as everyone pitches in, the seedlings of goodwill have grown into lush forests on the land of Internet-based charity.
Two landmark targets have been achieved in this year's "99 Giving Day". The total number of charitable organizations and businesses participating in the event topped the 10,000 mark respectively. As the saying goes, a single drop of water cannot make an ocean, nor can a single tree form a forest. Such achievements are a testimony of the fact that "99 Giving Day" is not only a social campaign with a huge number of individual participants, but also an influential Internet-based charity ecosystem encompassing both enterprises and charitable organizations.
Tencent co-founder Chen Yidan, also the founder and honorary Chairman of Tencent Charity Foundation, shared with participants the development of "99 Giving Day" over the past 5 years. He noted that the increase in donations and participation reflected the growing popularity of the concept of charity. From universal charity and fingertip charity to rational charity, the concept has been evolving. Combined with increasingly diverse, innovative and technology-based charity activities, it has made charity a rational attitude and way of life.
The evolution of "99 Giving Day" (2015-2019)
"Evolution" is in the "99 Giving Day"'s DNA since the event is deeply interwoven with the Internet.
2015: The first "99 Giving Day", launched by Tencent in 2015, ushered in an innovative charity model entitled "Donate Together", which was enabled by mobile networks and a fully-integrated social network with philanthropy.
2016: The second "99 Giving Day" was committed to enhancing transparency by introducing financial disclosure to the platform where netizens can keep track of every donation they had made.
2017: The third "99 Giving Day" featured continuous improvement in transparency. The most stringent entry and review standards for philanthropic projects were launched, prompting charitable organizations to establish a more professional information disclosure mechanism.
2018: The fourth "99 Giving Day" highlighted joint participation and invited over one hundred experts, scholars, media, lawyers and other partners both inside and outside the industry to develop rules. Besides, a prompt page dubbed "cooler", also called the first function to stop users from donating hastily, was added to encourage users to think twice before they make donations, ensuring the donation is a result of rational thinking and trust and promoting the habit of charity for everyone.
2019: The fifth "99 Giving Day" once again reached new highs in the amount of donations, transparency as well as the coverage. More than 48 million individual donations were made through Tencent's public platform, hitting a total amount of 1.783 billion yuan. Over 2,500 enterprises donated a further 307 million yuan. The Tencent Charity Foundation provided 399.99 million yuan in matching funds. The total amount of donations registered 2.490 billion yuan. Also, as stipulated in the transparency requirements, an integrated model of financial disclosure, independent audit and random sampling was adopted, which further enhanced the reputation and transparency of "99 Giving Day".
Over the past five years, Tencent has strived to incorporate its strength in product development and connection into the cause of philanthropy. Together with charity partners and online donors, Tencent has contributed to and witnessed the Internet-based charity in China evolving from impulsiveness to rationality.
Behind rational charity are trust and efficiency.
For some people, 99 Giving Day is a "phenomenal" charity carnival. But, in essence, it represents the growing passion and public support for the charity. Thus, we need to ensure the passion and public support will translate into rational charity. Apart from focusing on data of the event, it is more important to sustain the momentum for charity.
Transparency, trust, and rationality are the foundation of rational charity. Only when a solid foundation is built can the charity ecosystem achieve healthy development and remain vigorous.
In this year's 99 Giving Day, more attention is paid to the execution and efficiency of charitable organizations as well as the performance and data of executing agencies. We also take into account the donors' evaluation of projects and recipients' feedback.
We advocate all parties to jointly build a rational charity ecosystem and pay attention to the long-term connection between donors, charitable organizations, and recipients to establish long-term trust and enhance fundraising efficiency.
The future of rational charity will be characterized by steady growth.
"99 Giving Day" provides a good opportunity to examine and further improve the charity ecosystem.
In future, Tencent Charity will continue exploring new ways to evaluate relevant organizations and projects. Apart from using fundraising amount as a major criterion, we will put greater emphasis on their demonstration roles in terms of transparent and professional operations, and their willingness to innovate. Organizations and projects with efforts and tangible results in these two aspects will have access to more recourses.
Taking rationality as the core, we will establish a more stable connection between charity projects and the public via technology.
Let's do good things together. Together, we will do good things well.

Commentary: How Did the Formula Shortage Happen?
Joe Cunningham Published: May 18, 2022
Lucy Wolski via UNsplash.com
For weeks now, the growing formula shortage in the United States has been one of the hottest topics both in politics and at the kitchen table. In many cases, you can find your basic formula in stores. However, those living in larger urban areas are finding more and more of the shelves empty.
In particular, we've found that specialized formulas and those targeting kids with special dietary needs are harder to come by. Still, for many, shortages (and resulting price hikes) are making the situation dire for families across the country.
The question for many is this: How did we get to this point?
Scott Lincicome, Director of General Economics and Trade at the Cato Institute, explained on the Joe Cunningham Show on Tuesday.
Joe Cunningham Radio Show · Formula Shortage With Scott Lincicome
Lincicome also wrote a detailed explanation at The Dispatch last week.
As he explains, the pandemic was a big factor in getting us to where we are. Parents who were concerned with shutdowns and shortages stockpiled formula, putting a strain on the available supply. However, when some babies became sick seemingly from formula produced by Abbott, the nation's largest producer, the FDA shut them down in order to investigate. However, the FDA also moved slowly in response to the issue, drawing out the plant's shutdown.
Further exacerbating the issue is a host of restrictive trade policy and federal red tape, making it incredibly difficult to import baby formula from other parts of the world (particularly, as Lincicome pointed out, Europe).
Luckily, that major producer, Abbott, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have come to an agreement to get the plant open again so production can continue. At the same time, as we reported here at KPEL last week, the U.S. government has launched a website to help struggling families find formula near them.
The site launched by the Department of Health and Human Services is at HHS.gov/formula. It features information including manufacturer hotlines, community resources and other guidance. WIC-eligible families will also find a link on the site for them to reach out to a local office for assistance.
You may recall on Thursday, President Joe Biden announced that his administration would be stepping up its response to the shortage that has forced worried parents into online groups to swap and sell baby formula to keep their babies fed.
The president held meetings with executives from Gerber and Reckitt about how they could ramp up production and how his administration could help. He also talked to leaders from Walmart and Target about how to restock shelves and address regional disparities in access to formula.

The Biden Administration has also promised to ease some of the regulatory burden on the importation of baby formula, but is it too little, too late?
The Biden Administration is trying to pin a lot of the blame on Abbott only, leading the company to fight back on Twitter days before their agreement with the FDA to re-open the plant.
As it turns out, the Biden Administration's FDA may have been even slower to respond to the crisis than we realized. According to POLITICO, the FDA knew about issues at the Abbott plant months before the reported infant deaths.
A former employee at Abbott Nutrition's Sturgis, Mich., infant formula plant flagged concerns about food safety violations directly with senior FDA officials in October — months before two infants died and another was hospitalized from bacterial infections after ingesting formula made at the plant, according to a document reviewed by POLITICO.
In a 34-page document sent to officials Oct. 19 and 20, the whistleblower outlined allegations of lax cleaning practices, purposely falsified records and efforts by plant officials to keep FDA from learning about serious issues related to the plant's own system for checking for bacteria in formula, among other things. The warning came weeks after health officials in Minnesota had already reported to both FDA and CDC that an infant in the state had been hospitalized for Cronobacter sakazakii — a rare but deadly bacteria — after consuming formula from the same plant.
Hard copies of the disclosure were sent via FedEx to senior food safety officials and other leaders at FDA. They included FDA's top official, then-acting Commissioner Janet Woodcock, Susan Mayne, director of the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Judy McMeekin, associate commissioner for Regulatory Affairs and Catherine Hermsen, assistant commissioner of the agency's Office of Criminal Investigations.
In addition to the serious questions raised about Abbott Nutrition's food safety practices, revelations of an early whistleblower warning reinforce concerns about leadership and decision making on food issues at the agency, something POLITICO reported on in an investigation earlier this month, as well as the rigor of FDA's plant inspections.
One of the biggest problems we have in the United States is trade and regulatory policy that overly protects U.S. dairy (the primary ingredient in baby formula) to the point that a minor labeling issue like European formula labels not saying "Iron Free" on them keeps much-needed supply out of the United States. The FDA literally seizes whatever European product it finds, leaving struggling parents to find their formula through the black market.
Which, as you can guess, comes with all sorts of risks all on its own.
It appears that we never actually needed to get to this point. It could have been solved months ago. But the federal regulatory state is both cumbersome and slow-moving, making worse a situation that didn't even need to happen in the first place.
We don't need trade restrictions to make getting more formula into the U.S. marketplace harder. Formula is a vital need in the U.S. You are literally giving the most vulnerable people in our nation fewer options when it comes to a basic need like food. And, while it's noble to want to protect the U.S. dairy farmers who produce the dairy used in baby formula, it's also yet another example of the government picking winners and losers.
The regulatory state desperately needs to be scaled back on this and so many other issues. The problems these policies have caused are now directly impacting American families and forcing them to make tough choices about how to care for their children. Some babies have special dietary needs, and many parents are now struggling to come up with alternatives for their children (and those alternatives simply don't meet the babies' needs).
It's a good reminder that for all the government tries to fix problems, it frequently just creates more headaches for itself and, more importantly, the very citizens it is supposed to serve.

PROSPERO

        If I have too austerely punish'd you,

        Your compensation makes amends, for I

        Have given you here a third of mine own life,

        Or that for which I live; who once again

        Then, as my gift and thine own acquisition

        Worthily purchased take my daughter: but

        If thou dost break her virgin-knot before

        All sanctimonious ceremonies may

        With full and holy rite be minister'd,

        No sweet aspersion shall the heavens let fall

        To make this contract grow: but barren hate,

        Sour-eyed disdain and discord shall bestrew

        The union of your bed with weeds so loathly

        That you shall hate it both: therefore take heed,

        As Hymen's lamps shall light you.

FERDINAND

        As I hope

        For quiet days, fair issue and long life,

        With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den,

        The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion.

        Our worser genius can, shall never melt

        Mine honour into lust, to take away

        The edge of that day's celebration

        When I shall think: or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd,

        Or Night kept chain'd below.

PROSPERO

        Fairly spoke.

        Sit then and talk with her; she is thine own.

        What, Ariel! my industrious servant, Ariel!

Enter ARIEL

ARIEL

        What would my potent master? here I am.

PROSPERO

        Thou and thy meaner fellows your last service

        Did worthily perform; and I must use you

        In such another trick. Go bring the rabble,

        O'er whom I give thee power, here to this place:

        Incite them to quick motion; for I must

        Bestow upon the eyes of this young couple

        Some vanity of mine art: it is my promise,

        And they expect it from me.

ARIEL

        Presently?

PROSPERO

        Ay, with a twink.

ARIEL

        Before you can say 'come' and 'go,'

        And breathe twice and cry 'so, so,'

        Each one, tripping on his toe,

        Will be here with mop and mow.

        Do you love me, master? no?

PROSPERO

        Dearly my delicate Ariel. Do not approach

        Till thou dost hear me call.

ARIEL

        Well, I conceive.

Exit

PROSPERO

        Look thou be true; do not give dalliance

        Too much the rein: the strongest oaths are straw

        To the fire i' the blood: be more abstemious,

        Or else, good night your vow!

FERDINAND

        I warrant you sir;

        The white cold virgin snow upon my heart

        Abates the ardour of my liver.

PROSPERO

        Well.

        Now come, my Ariel! bring a corollary,

        Rather than want a spirit: appear and pertly!

        No tongue! all eyes! be silent.

Soft music

Enter IRIS

IRIS

        Ceres, most bounteous lady, thy rich leas

        Of wheat, rye, barley, vetches, oats and pease;

        Thy turfy mountains, where live nibbling sheep,

        And flat meads thatch'd with stover, them to keep;

        Thy banks with pioned and twilled brims,

        Which spongy April at thy hest betrims,

        To make cold nymphs chaste crowns; and thy broom -groves,

        Whose shadow the dismissed bachelor loves,

        Being lass-lorn: thy pole-clipt vineyard;

        And thy sea-marge, sterile and rocky-hard,

        Where thou thyself dost air;--the queen o' the sky,

        Whose watery arch and messenger am I,

        Bids thee leave these, and with her sovereign grace,

        Here on this grass-plot, in this very place,

        To come and sport: her peacocks fly amain:

        Approach, rich Ceres, her to entertain.

Enter CERES

CERES

        Hail, many-colour'd messenger, that ne'er

        Dost disobey the wife of Jupiter;

        Who with thy saffron wings upon my flowers

        Diffusest honey-drops, refreshing showers,

        And with each end of thy blue bow dost crown

        My bosky acres and my unshrubb'd down,

        Rich scarf to my proud earth; why hath thy queen

        Summon'd me hither, to this short-grass'd green?

IRIS

        A contract of true love to celebrate;

        And some donation freely to estate

        On the blest lovers.

CERES

        Tell me, heavenly bow,

        If Venus or her son, as thou dost know,

        Do now attend the queen? Since they did plot

        The means that dusky Dis my daughter got,

        Her and her blind boy's scandal'd company

        I have forsworn.

IRIS

        Of her society

        Be not afraid: I met her deity

        Cutting the clouds towards Paphos and her son

        Dove-drawn with her. Here thought they to have done

        Some wanton charm upon this man and maid,

        Whose vows are, that no bed-right shall be paid

        Till Hymen's torch be lighted: but vain;

        Mars's hot minion is returned again;

        Her waspish-headed son has broke his arrows,

        Swears he will shoot no more but play with sparrows

        And be a boy right out.

CERES

        High'st queen of state,

        Great Juno, comes; I know her by her gait.

Enter JUNO

JUNO

        How does my bounteous sister? Go with me

        To bless this twain, that they may prosperous be

        And honour'd in their issue.

They sing:

JUNO

        Honour, riches, marriage-blessing,

        Long continuance, and increasing,

        Hourly joys be still upon you!

        Juno sings her blessings upon you.

CERES

        Earth's increase, foison plenty,

        Barns and garners never empty,

        Vines and clustering bunches growing,

        Plants with goodly burthen bowing;

        Spring come to you at the farthest

        In the very end of harvest!

        Scarcity and want shall shun you;

        Ceres' blessing so is on you.

FERDINAND

        This is a most majestic vision, and

        Harmoniously charmingly. May I be bold

        To think these spirits?

PROSPERO

        Spirits, which by mine art

        I have from their confines call'd to enact

        My present fancies.

FERDINAND

        Let me live here ever;

        So rare a wonder'd father and a wife

        Makes this place Paradise.

Juno and Ceres whisper, and send Iris on employment

PROSPERO

        Sweet, now, silence!

        Juno and Ceres whisper seriously;

        There's something else to do: hush, and be mute,

        Or else our spell is marr'd.

IRIS

        You nymphs, call'd Naiads, of the windring brooks,

        With your sedged crowns and ever-harmless looks,

        Leave your crisp channels and on this green land

        Answer your summons; Juno does command:

        Come, temperate nymphs, and help to celebrate

        A contract of true love; be not too late.

Enter certain Nymphs

        You sunburnt sicklemen, of August weary,

        Come hither from the furrow and be merry:

        Make holiday; your rye-straw hats put on

        And these fresh nymphs encounter every one

        In country footing.

Enter certain Reapers, properly habited: they join with the Nymphs in a
        graceful dance; towards the end whereof PROSPERO starts suddenly, and speaks;
        after which, to a strange, hollow, and confused noise, they heavily
        vanish

PROSPERO

        [Aside] I had forgot that foul conspiracy

        Of the beast Caliban and his confederates

        Against my life: the minute of their plot

        Is almost come.

To the Spirits

        Well done! avoid; no more!

FERDINAND

        This is strange: your father's in some passion

        That works him strongly.

MIRANDA

        Never till this day

        Saw I him touch'd with anger so distemper'd.

PROSPERO

        You do look, my son, in a moved sort,

        As if you were dismay'd: be cheerful, sir.

        Our revels now are ended. These our actors,

        As I foretold you, were all spirits and

        Are melted into air, into thin air:

        And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,

        The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,

        The solemn temples, the great globe itself,

        Ye all which it inherit, shall dissolve

        And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,

        Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff

        As dreams are made on, and our little life

        Is rounded with a sleep. Sir, I am vex'd;

        Bear with my weakness; my, brain is troubled:

        Be not disturb'd with my infirmity:

        If you be pleased, retire into my cell

        And there repose: a turn or two I'll walk,

        To still my beating mind.

FERDINAND MIRANDA

        We wish your peace.

Exeunt

PROSPERO

        Come with a thought I thank thee, Ariel: come.

Enter ARIEL

ARIEL

        Thy thoughts I cleave to. What's thy pleasure?

PROSPERO

        Spirit,

        We must prepare to meet with Caliban.

ARIEL

        Ay, my commander: when I presented Ceres,

        I thought to have told thee of it, but I fear'd

        Lest I might anger thee.

PROSPERO

        Say again, where didst thou leave these varlets?

ARIEL

        I told you, sir, they were red-hot with drinking;

        So fun of valour that they smote the air

        For breathing in their faces; beat the ground

        For kissing of their feet; yet always bending

        Towards their project. Then I beat my tabour;

        At which, like unback'd colts, they prick'd

        their ears,

        Advanced their eyelids, lifted up their noses

        As they smelt music: so I charm'd their ears

        That calf-like they my lowing follow'd through

        Tooth'd briers, sharp furzes, pricking goss and thorns,

        Which entered their frail shins: at last I left them

        I' the filthy-mantled pool beyond your cell,

        There dancing up to the chins, that the foul lake

        O'erstunk their feet.

PROSPERO

        This was well done, my bird.

        Thy shape invisible retain thou still:

        The trumpery in my house, go bring it hither,

        For stale to catch these thieves.

ARIEL

        I go, I go.

Exit

PROSPERO

        A devil, a born devil, on whose nature

        Nurture can never stick; on whom my pains,

        Humanely taken, all, all lost, quite lost;

        And as with age his body uglier grows,

        So his mind cankers. I will plague them all,

        Even to roaring.

Re-enter ARIEL, loaden with glistering apparel, & c

        Come, hang them on this line.

PROSPERO and ARIEL remain invisible. Enter CALIBAN, STEPHANO, and TRINCULO,
        all wet

CALIBAN

        Pray you, tread softly, that the blind mole may not

        Hear a foot fall: we now are near his cell.

STEPHANO

        Monster, your fairy, which you say is

        a harmless fairy, has done little better than

        played the Jack with us.

TRINCULO

        Monster, I do smell all horse-piss; at

        which my nose is in great indignation.

STEPHANO

        So is mine. Do you hear, monster? If I should take

        a displeasure against you, look you,--

TRINCULO

        Thou wert but a lost monster.

CALIBAN

        Good my lord, give me thy favour still.

        Be patient, for the prize I'll bring thee to

        Shall hoodwink this mischance: therefore speak softly.

        All's hush'd as midnight yet.

TRINCULO

        Ay, but to lose our bottles in the pool,--

STEPHANO

        There is not only disgrace and dishonour in that,

        monster, but an infinite loss.

TRINCULO

        That's more to me than my wetting: yet this is your

        harmless fairy, monster.

STEPHANO

        I will fetch off my bottle, though I be o'er ears

        for my labour.

CALIBAN

        Prithee, my king, be quiet. Seest thou here,

        This is the mouth o' the cell: no noise, and enter.

        Do that good mischief which may make this island

        Thine own for ever, and I, thy Caliban,

        For aye thy foot-licker.

STEPHANO

        Give me thy hand. I do begin to have bloody thoughts.

TRINCULO

        O king Stephano! O peer! O worthy Stephano! look

        what a wardrobe here is for thee!

CALIBAN

        Let it alone, thou fool; it is but trash.

TRINCULO

        O, ho, monster! we know what belongs to a frippery.

        O king Stephano!

STEPHANO

        Put off that gown, Trinculo; by this hand, I'll have

        that gown.

TRINCULO

        Thy grace shall have it.

CALIBAN

        The dropsy drown this fool I what do you mean

        To dote thus on such luggage? Let's alone

        And do the murder first: if he awake,

        From toe to crown he'll fill our skins with pinches,

        Make us strange stuff.

STEPHANO

        Be you quiet, monster. Mistress line,

        is not this my jerkin? Now is the jerkin under

        the line: now, jerkin, you are like to lose your

        hair and prove a bald jerkin.

TRINCULO

        Do, do: we steal by line and level, an't like your grace.

STEPHANO

        I thank thee for that jest; here's a garment for't:

        wit shall not go unrewarded while I am king of this

        country. 'Steal by line and level' is an excellent

        pass of pate; there's another garment for't.

TRINCULO

        Monster, come, put some lime upon your fingers, and

        away with the rest.

CALIBAN

        I will have none on't: we shall lose our time,

        And all be turn'd to barnacles, or to apes

        With foreheads villanous low.

STEPHANO

        Monster, lay-to your fingers: help to bear this

        away where my hogshead of wine is, or I'll turn you

        out of my kingdom: go to, carry this.

TRINCULO

        And this.

STEPHANO

        Ay, and this.

A noise of hunters heard. Enter divers Spirits, in shape of dogs and
        hounds, and hunt them about, PROSPERO and ARIEL setting them on

PROSPERO

        Hey, Mountain, hey!

ARIEL

        Silver I there it goes, Silver!

PROSPERO

        Fury, Fury! there, Tyrant, there! hark! hark!

CALIBAN, STEPHANO, and TRINCULO, are driven out

        Go charge my goblins that they grind their joints

        With dry convulsions, shorten up their sinews

        With aged cramps, and more pinch-spotted make them

        Than pard or cat o' mountain.

ARIEL

        Hark, they roar!

PROSPERO

        Let them be hunted soundly. At this hour

        Lie at my mercy all mine enemies:

        Shortly shall all my labours end, and thou

        Shalt have the air at freedom: for a little

        Follow, and do me service.

Producer Scott Rudin negotiating to leave Disney
March 16, 2010 | 3:32 pm
With the recent demise of Miramax Films and its possible sale, the specialty label's biggest movie producer, Scott Rudin, is negotiating to end his lucrative production deal with corporate parent Walt Disney Co.
A prolific producer who supplied Miramax such movies as Oscar winners "No Country For Old Men," "The Queen," and "There Will Be Blood," Rudin is in talks to settle out his contract, which still has three years remaining, said a person familiar with the situation.
Under his arrangement, Rudin collects about $9 million a year to cover overhead at his New York headquarters and offices on the Disney lot. That sum includes a $3-million fund for buying projects.
Negotiations between Disney and Rudin comes as Disney is in talks to sell Miramax with various bidders, including hedge funds and Miramax founder Harvey Weinstein, with whom Rudin has had a strained relationship. Rudin has more than a dozen projects in development at Miramax and wants to be able to control where his projects land, a knowledgeable person said.
Rudin's departure would mark the latest upheaval under the new regime of Walt Disney Studios movie chairman Rich Ross. Just last week, Disney announced it was shutting down the Northern California digital studio co-founded by filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, who most recently directed the studio's costly holiday movie, "A Christmas Carol."
Ross also recently ousted Miramax chief Daniel Battsek, a close ally of Rudin's, and subsequently shut down the unit's New York and Los Angeles offices. Under a mandate from Walt Disney Co. chief executive Bob Iger, Ross has been aggressively cutting costs at the Burbank studio.
A logical place for Rudin to set up shop next is Sony Pictures, where he has close ties with studio chief Amy Pascal and made last summer's comedy hit "Julie & Julia," starring Meryl Streep. He also just completed production on Sony's "The Social Network," a movie about Facebook directed by David Fincher, and is prepping Bennett Miller's "Moneyball" with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. At Sony, Rudin is also expected to make "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," based on the first of three Steig Larson novels, which Fincher also may direct.
Rudin, whose producer credits also include Nancy Meyer's comedy "It's Complicated" and Wes Anderson's Oscar-nominated animated comedy "The Fantastic Mr. Fox," was wooed to Disney in 2005 by then-movie chairman Dick Cook after he spent 15 years producing some of Paramount Pictures' biggest hits, including "School of Rock," "The Addams Family" and "Clueless."

A destination that surpasses itself every year by offering upscale service and bringing together the best of both worlds. In 2020 it will be the stage of the largest planetary exhibition but until then it will continue to amaze everyone!
Manzil Downtown Dubai
Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach
Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights
In the Arabian Desert a cosmopolitan new destination was born, combining the best of the West and the East in a luxuriant and grandiose environment where man's hand reveals works that have influenced architectural and engineering tendencies throughout the world. This is Dubai, one of the seven Emirates, that has an amazing historical part. The Al Bastakiya neighbourhood, for example, was built in the 17th century and is a labyrinth of old houses, typical interior courtyards, some have been transformed into cultural spaces, shops and restaurants. The tour around this historical area continues through Dubai Creek where an abra tour – small wooden boat that looks like the Venetian gondola - overlooking the Gold, Spices and Textile souks (markets), in addition to the Dubai Museum, founded in 1787 as Al Fahidi Fort to defend the city from the invasions and where the government headquarters functioned. On the modern side of the city, in downtown Dubai, the famous Burj Khalifa, where you can watch a captivating water, music and light spectacle every night and every half an hour, stands out; stroll through the Marina and visit Madinat Jumeirah, a sumptuous resort inspired by the classic book Arabian Nights. The palm-shaped artificial island - Palm Jumeirah - is a must-see and where the Burj Al Arab, the first seven-star hotel in the world, is located. Do not overlook the Dubai Mall and its aquarium which is one of the largest in the world and the Mall of The Emirates and its artificial ski slope. Those going to Dubai want to feel the desert and the experience includes an Arabian dinner, a camel or a jeep ride. It is also worth visiting hotels such as the Jumeirah Mina A'Salam - or 'Venice of Dubai' because you travel by boat between the pool and the restaurants - which is adjacent to several other hotels and the beach with its typical green Arabic Gulf sea, which is not artificial as many think.
Eating: what and where?
In Dubai you can find all kinds of international gastronomy, including the Arab cuisine, known all over the world. However, the traditional, known as 'emirati', is harder to find in restaurants as it is practically just consumed at home. Its base is fish, meats and rice and sweet dishes for breakfast. Arab coffee and dates are essential. As a rule, you must make reservations at any restaurant in the hotels of Dubai.
The UAE was established in 1971 having seven states: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah. The Ramadan is the fourth of five pillars of Islam and during that month (whose dates vary from year to year) it encourages discipline, perseverance, patience and self-control, while the city lives at night and sleeps by day. During this spiritual act it is forbidden to eat or drink, although there are exceptions. The shape of the Burj Al Arab structure is designed to resemble the sail of a ship which represents the relationship of Dubai (or as it was designated: Al Wasl) with the sea, functioning as a trading post between continents. November 3 is the UAE Flag Day. Its flag bears red (sacrifice, energy and power); green (prosperity and success); black (dignity and elegance) and white (purity and peace).
The underground covers almost the entire territory and taxis are relatively cheap. If you pay a little more, you can have a personal driver on a Lexus and you can rent the car for the whole day in order to lower the price. It is very safe walking down the street and a stroll on Marina Walk to observe street art is a must. You can wear shorts in the city and bikinis on the beaches, especially if you are on the hotel private beaches. It is preferable to avoid public displays of affection. Drinking in public is prohibited, but tourists can drink in licensed bars and restaurants. The best time to visit Dubai is between October and April. Next year it is expected to come into force a VAT rate in the amount of 5% which will affect shopping, one of the strengths of Dubai.

GridGain & Hadoop: Differences & Synergies
GridGain is Java-based middleware for in-memory processing of big data in a distributed environment. It is based on high performance in-memory data platform that integrates fast In-Memory MapReduce implementation with In-Memory Data Grid technology delivering easy to use and easy to scale software. Using GridGain you can process terabytes of data, on 1000s of nodes in under a second.
GridGain typically resides between business, analytics, transactional or BI applications and long term data storage such as RDBMS, ERP or Hadoop HDFS, and provides in-memory data platform for high performance, low latency data storage and processing.
Both, GridGain and Hadoop, are designed for parallel processing of distributed data. However, both products serve very different goals and in most cases are very complementary to each other. Hadoop is mostly geared towards batch-oriented offline processing of historical and analytics payloads where latencies and transactions don't really matter, while GridGain is meant for real-time in-memory processing of both transactional and non-transactional live data with very low latencies. To better understand where each product really fits, let us compare some main concepts of each product.
GridGain In-Memory Compute Grid vs Hadoop MapReduce
MapReduce is a programming model developed by Google for processing large data sets of data stored on disks. Hadoop MapReduce is an implementation of such model. The model is based on the fact that data in a single file can be distributed across multiple nodes and hence the processing of those files has to be co-located on the same nodes to avoid moving data around. The processing is based on scanning files record by record in parallel on multiple nodes and then reducing the results in parallel on multiple nodes as well. Because of that, standard disk-based MapReduce is good for problem sets which require analyzing every single record in a file and does not fit for cases when direct access to a certain data record is required. Furthermore, due to offline batch orientation of Hadoop it is not suited for low-latency applications.
GridGain In-Memory Compute Grid (IMCG) on the other hand is geared towards in-memory computations and very low latencies. GridGain IMCG has its own implementation of MapReduce which is designed specifically for real-time in-memory processing use cases and is very different from Hadoop one. Its main goal is to split a task into multiple sub-tasks, load balance those sub-tasks among available cluster nodes, execute them in parallel, then aggregate the results from those sub-tasks and return them to user.
Splitting tasks into multiple sub-tasks and assigning them to nodes is the *mapping* step and aggregating of results is *reducing* step. However, there is no concept of mandatory data built in into this design and it can work in the absence of any data at all which makes it a good fit for both, stateless and state-full computations, like traditional HPC. In cases when data is present, GridGain IMCG will also automatically colocate computations with the nodes where the data is to avoid redundant data movement.
It is also worth mentioning, that unlike Hadoop, GridGain IMCG is very well suited for processing of computations which are very short-lived in nature, e.g. below 100 milliseconds and may not require any mapping or reducing.
Here is a simple Java coding example of GridGain IMCG which counts number of letters in a phrase by splitting it into multiple words, assigning each word to a sub-task for parallel remote execution in the map step, and then adding all lengths receives from remote jobs in reduce step.
[source lang="java"]
int letterCount = g.reduce(
// Mapper
new GridClosure<String, Integer>() {
@Override public Integer apply(String s) {
return s.length();
Arrays.asList("GridGain Letter Count".split(" ")),
// Reducer
F.sumIntReducer()
[/source]
GridGain In-Memory Data Grid vs Hadoop Distributed File System
Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is designed for storing large amounts of data in files on disk. Just like any file system, the data is mostly stored in textual or binary formats. To find a single record inside an HDFS file requires a file scan. Also, being distributed in nature, to update a single record within a file in HDFS requires copying of a whole file (file in HDFS can only be appended). This makes HDFS well-suited for cases when data is appended at the end of a file, but not well suited for cases when data needs to be located and/or updated in the middle of a file. With indexing technologies, like HBase or Impala, data access becomes somewhat easier because keys can be indexed, but not being able to index into values (secondary indexes) only allow for primitive query execution.
GridGain In-Memory Data Grid (IMDG) on the other hand is an in-memory key-value data store. The roots of IMDGs came from distributed caching, however GridGain IMDG also adds transactions, data partitioning, and SQL querying to cached data. The main difference with HDFS (or Hadoop ecosystem overall) is the ability to transact and update any data directly in real time. This makes GridGain IMDG well suited for working on operational data sets, the data sets that are currently being updated and queried, while HDFS is suited for working on historical data which is constant and will never change.
Unlike a file system, GridGain IMDG works with user domain model by directly caching user application objects. Objects are accessed and updated by key which allows IMDG to work with volatile data which requires direct key-based access.
GridGain IMDG allows for indexing into keys and values (i.e. primary and secondary indices) and supports native SQL for data querying & processing. One of unique features of GridGain IMDG is support for distributed joins which allow to execute complex SQL queries on the data in-memory without limitations.
GridGain and Hadoop Working Together
Hadoop essentially is a Big Data warehouse which is good for batch processing of historic data that never changes, while GridGain, on the other hand, is an In-Memory Data Platform which works with your current operational data set in transactional fashion with very low latencies. Focusing on very different use cases make GridGain and Hadoop very complementary with each other.
Up-Stream Integration
The diagram above shows integration between GridGain and Hadoop. Here we have GridGain In-Memory Compute Grid and Data Grid working directly in real-time with user application by partitioning and caching data within data grid, and executing in-memory computations and SQL queries on it. Every so often, when data becomes historic, it is snapshotted into HDFS where it can be analyzed using Hadoop MapReduce and analytical tools from Hadoop eco-system.
Down-Stream Integration
Another possible way to integrate would be for cases when data is already stored in HDFS but needs to be loaded into IMDG for faster in-memory processing. For cases like that GridGain provides fast loading mechanisms from HDFS into GridGain IMDG where it can be further analyzed using GridGain in-memory Map Reduce and indexed SQL queries.
Integration between an in-memory data platform like GridGain and disk based data platform like Hadoop allows businesses to get valuable insights into the whole data set at once, including volatile operational data set cached in memory, as well as historic data set stored in Hadoop. This essentially eliminates any gaps in processing time caused by Extract-Transfer-Load (ETL) process of copying data from operational system of records, like standard databases, into historic data warehouses like Hadoop. Now data can be analyzed and processed at any point of its lifecycle, from the moment when it gets into the system up until it gets put away into a warehouse.

Nothing but The Damn Truth, no apologies
Move over, envelope-pushing alternative-rock acts. The Damn Truth makes music now that pulls from the roots of classic rock

MONTREAL – The Damn Truth is a straight-out rock band. So sue them! They like to rock-out old-school style, a sound anchored by Lee-La Baum's raucous Janis Joplin-esque heart-on-her-sleeve vocals and Tom Shemer's crunching guitar riffs.
The Montreal band – rounded out by bassist David Massé and drummer Dave Traina – has always been something of an anomaly on the local scene given our town's penchant for churning out envelope-pushing alternative-rock acts. Like The Black Keys and Jack White, The Damn Truth makes music that's most definitely of our time but rooted in the canon of classic rock. This, by the way, is a good thing.
And it's already won the band loads of fans, with a little help from local FM rock station CHOM, which has been spinning the group's rocking tunes since the release of its debut album Dear in the Headlights in 2012.
"I think there was an unspoken agreement that we all wanted to do something that wasn't hip at the moment," Shemer said about the band's early days, in a recent interview at Shemer and Baum's St-Henri apartment. (Shemer and Baum are a couple, and have a 4-month-old baby boy.)
"We wanted to do something that just felt right," Shemer said of The Damn Truth, which performs at Café Campus on Thursday. "And for the most part, we're still in the same place. The thing is, we didn't meet as young kids. So our musical personalities were already pretty strong."
Added Baum: "Artistic integrity is very important. It's very important that we say something with what we're doing. There's a reason to be out there."
"If you're going to play rock 'n' roll, you better do it right," Shemer said. "And sometimes, doing it right means not being hip, which is totally fine by us."
Listening to Dear in the Headlights or Get With You, its most recent single, there's no question the band's music exists in a universe light-years removed from what's playing on hit radio. But these hard-hitting songs do share the same guitar-based rock spirit as, say, Sam Roberts or even the Arctic Monkeys.
"I like to think we could easily tour with the Black Keys or Jack White," Baum said. "There are a lot of bands that are powerful and have something to say."
Shemer chimes in to quite correctly point out that the band does in fact get played on commercial radio, though it makes it on to FM rock stations rather than Top 40 outlets.
"But we don't get played on commercial radio because some record label is pushing it," Shemer said.
"We get played on commercial radio because people are calling in and asking for the songs. It just goes to show that just because there's hype about a certain type of music, it doesn't mean 100 per cent of the population is into it."
The band self-released its debut album and is now well into work on the follow-up, working with noted Montreal producer Jean Massicotte. He's an unusual choice in the sense that he's not known for such hard-rockin' productions. He's produced some of the city's most original artists, notably Lhasa de Sela, Patrick Watson and Alejandra Ribera.
"That's what we love about him. That he's not a rock producer. It comes back to the way we do things," Shemer said.
"Maybe the logical thing would be to record a straightforward rock album and get four songs on the radio. What's the point? Why not work with a producer who does folk music and see where that brings you? But (Jean Massicotte is) a rocker at heart. He never takes off his leather jacket."
"He takes us out of our comfort zone, but in the most comfortable of ways," bassist David Massé said. "I feel so calm and at ease with him, yet he's pushing us."
At Café Campus on Thursday, the band will be playing a lot of the new songs that they're working on right now in the studio.
The Damn Truth is kind of old-school, too — it road-tests the songs, then returns to the studio to make use of that feedback from fans. Live, the centrepiece is most definitely Baum, who is, as Massé says, "on all the time. There could be five people or 5,000 people, you're going to get what you get."
It's always intense.
"I love it every single night, I live for it," Baum said.
She performed at Metropolis last fall when she was eight-and-a-half months pregnant and was back on stage when her son was only two months old.
"Even though I was a mother and not sleeping and all the crazy stuff that goes with that, I was craving it," Baum said. "That's where I'm most comfortable in my own skin."
The Damn Truthplays Café Campus on Thursday at 8 p.m. with opening act Gloryhound. For more information, visit cafecampus.com.

'10 Things I Hate About You' Nostalgic Spots 90s Kids Will Love in Tacoma, Washington
Best Places in Tacoma Washington for '10 Things I Hate About You' Fans to Visit
Calling all 90s kids. If you grew up around low rise jeans, Brittany Spears, and shopping at Limited Too you probably know this movie too. Born in 1997, I grew up watching '10 Things I Hate About You' and after re-watching it as an adult it is better than I remember. Based on the Shakespearean novel 'Taming of the Shrewd", the romantic comedy '10 Things I Hate About You' is an icon of the early 2000s. If you are also an early 2000s movie junkie here are some of the spots to see all the '10 Things I Hate About You' filming locations.
Stratford House
2715 N. Junett Street in Tacoma
If you are in the market for a new home the Stratford House is up for sale for 1.6 million dollars. Although the house was under construction when I visited you can still drive by and imagine Kat sitting on the white railing of the porch.
What is normally looks like
What it looks like now under construction
Broadway Street
Downtown Tacoma is adorable. There are museums and shops to explore. The legendary scene when Kat rams into Joey's car is shot on Broadway Street located in the downtown region.
Alki Beach for views of Seattle
Alki Beach is a bit of a drive from Tacoma. It is in West Seattle and has perfect views of the city skyline. If you are looking for a relaxed way to experience Seattle Alki Beach is the place to do it. You will see kayaks and boaters during warm summer months just like in the movie.
Stadium High School
It is hard to believe that someone would build a such an architecturally impressive high school that gives off Hogwarts vibes. That is because they did not. Stadium High School was originally built to be a luxury hotel, but when the builders ran out of money and it was abandoned in to 1800s. In 1906 the school board purchased the building and it has been a high school ever since. Can you just imagine walking through your old high school knowing Health Leader shot a movie there? Sign me up. Would not mind going back to high school if it means I could go here.
Second floor of parking lot for views of the Stadium
Everyone remembers the scene of the movie when silk serenades Kat with the song "Can't Take My Eye Off you" on the bleachers. Even when watching this movie, I did not think it was attached a real high school because the stadium is huge. You will recognize it instantly. While I couldn't find a way to get on the field, I did find the perfect spot to view the infamous stadium. The school's parking lot in the movie has now turned into a parking deck. The second floor of the parking deck provides great views of the water, school, and stadium field.
Coming of age movies are my favorite genre, so this movie will always hold a special place in my heart. '10 Things I Hate About You' filming locations are a must see when in Tacoma, Washington. Be sure not to miss anything while you are in town.

River Dragons Acquire Goaltender Mike Cosentino In Trade With Port Huron
Columbus, GA - The Columbus River Dragons today have acquired goaltender Mike Cosentino from the Port Huron Prowlers for financial considerations.
Cosentino was waived by the Delaware Thunder on Monday and after multiple claims on the waiver wire the Prowlers were awarded his rights as the lowest team in standings among claimed teams. After the waiver claim was finalized the River Dragons and Prowlers struck the deal.
Cosentino is a Point Pleasant, NJ native who is in his 2nd year pro. He debuted with the Macon Mayhem in the SPHL and the Watertown Wolves during the COVID-shortened 2019-20 season where he had a 3-3-0 combined record in eight appearances for those teams. After not playing in the 2020-21 season, Cosentino returned to pro hockey with the Delaware Thunder where he appeared in 13 games prior to being waived.
The Worcester Railers of the ECHL called up Cosentino earlier this season but he did not appear in a game for the team before being sent back down.
Before turning pro, Cosentino played junior hockey with the Philadelphia Revolution and Connecticut Oilers of the EHL and then played three years of college hockey in the NCAA D3 ranks. His freshman season was spent with King's College before a move to Neumann University for two more seasons. His sophomore year at Neumann saw him put up a stellar .923 save percentage and a 2.63 GAA.
Cosentino joins a goaltender stable of Jared Rutledge and Bailey MacBurnie in Columbus. The River Dragons next games are Friday and Saturday night against the Prowlers at the Columbus Civic Center. Tickets are available at the Civic Center Box Office or on TicketMaster, puck drop for both games is at 7:30.
