American movie industry's box-office blues
L.A. Times Archives
Jan. 5, 2012 12 AM PT
Americans bought 50 million fewer movie tickets in 2011 than the year before, continuing a downward slide for Hollywood that began in 2003. The anemic ticket sales — the lowest total in 16 years — more than offset yet another increase in average ticket prices, causing box-office revenue to fall for the second consecutive year. The numbers have some industry watchers wringing their hands, but they're not a portent of doom for the film industry. They're just a sign that movie fans have adapted to new technologies faster than the studios have.
Analysts offered several explanations for the disappointing box-office numbers, citing high ticket and concession prices, increased competition from video games (such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which generated more than $1 billion in sales in a little over two weeks) and an underwhelming and unoriginal slate of movies. But then, when the seven biggest hits were all sequels, it's easy to see why studios put the big dollars behind familiar fare.
A more interesting observation came from The Times' Ben Fritz and Amy Kaufman, who noted a trend that's developed over the last several years. Major studio releases often had strong opening weekends, then faded rapidly. That suggests that avid filmgoers may still be flocking to the multiplex for new releases, but casual fans — those who wait to hear what their friends recommend — aren't. Meanwhile, as the population ages, the percentage of young (and presumably more impulsive) ticket buyers has plummeted.
New technologies in the living room, such as digital video recorders and large flat-screen TVs, have helped train consumers to wait to watch the programming they're interested in until they can do it on their own terms. This shift toward on-demand viewing has been supported by the spread of extremely high-speed Internet connections, which have enabled services such as Netflix's movie streams. Industry figures through September show that on-demand and discount home-viewing options are growing rapidly in popularity.
Some independent movie studios and producers have responded by embracing on-demand services, even to the point of offering titles on demand while they're still playing in theaters. The major Hollywood studios haven't been so bold; they can't afford to alienate the theater chains that play a crucial role in launching and promoting the hugely expensive "tent pole" films that bring in the largest chunks of the studios' revenue. Nevertheless, this year's box-office numbers fit into a pattern that's consistent across all forms of entertainment. Technology is enabling consumers to be more choosy, and they're willing to sacrifice timeliness for value. Studios and theater chains can cling to the hope that the coming year's sequels, reboots and book adaptations will be bigger hits than last year's, but the trend lines spell trouble for the status quo.

The Liberals plan to review tax treatment of REITs. Will this help renters?
Home Tax Tax News The Liberals plan to review tax treatment of REITs. Will this help renters?
Targeting REITs and other large owners of residential real estate such as lifecos and pension plans might disincentivize investment, one expert says

Tax experts say they're unsure how Ottawa might target real estate investment trusts (REITs) that invest in rental residential housing, or indeed how a change to their tax treatment would help alleviate the issue of housing affordability in Canada.
The federal Liberals promised to review, and possibly reform, the tax treatment of REITs as part of a broader strategy to make housing more affordable for ordinary Canadians and bring "fairness" to the housing market.
"Large corporate owners of residential properties such as [REITs] are amassing increasingly large portfolios of Canadian rental housing, making your rent more expensive," the Liberals indicated in their 2021 campaign platform. "Homes should be for people to live in, not financial assets for investment funds to speculate on."
In a March 22 "supply and confidence" agreement, the Liberals and the New Democratic Party promised to implement a Homebuyer's Bill of Rights and "tackle the financialization of the housing market by the end of 2023."
REITs allow investors to pool resources to invest in real estate, which can include portfolios of commercial, industrial, residential and other types of properties. REITs are not taxed on the income and gains generated in the trust, but instead flow these out to unitholders. If an investor holds a REIT in a tax-exempt vehicle such as an RRSP, tax on the distributions can be deferred until the investment is withdrawn.
When part of the distribution from a REIT is a return of capital, it is not immediately taxable to the investor — though such a distribution will lower the adjusted cost base of the investment and increase the eventual capital gain (or reduce the capital loss) on the sale of the investment.
Enzo Testa, partner with accounting firm RSM Canada in Toronto, said he's uncertain how the government could target the tax treatment of REITs, but added that the investments have become increasingly popular in recent years.
REITs that invest in residential rental estate "look for properties that are undervalued, properties where they can spend some money to upgrade them, and then increase the rent," Testa said.
As leases on residential properties are typically single-year, not multi-year, as with commercial or other types of real estate, investors consider the investment more "dynamic" and "inflation proof," said Testa. "People need to live somewhere, especially when they can't afford to buy."
John Nicola, CEO and chairman of Nicola Wealth in Vancouver, said he's also uncertain about what aspect of the tax treatment of rental housing REITs concerns the federal government. However, he said targeting such REITs — and/or other large owners of residential real estate such as life insurance companies and pension plans — might disincentivize investment and run counter to Ottawa's broader goal of boosting housing affordability.
"It's hard to see how reducing the supply of rental housing helps the overall housing market," said Nicola in an email.
Rick Robertson, emeritus professor of managerial accounting and control with Ivey Business School at Western University in London, Ont., said he would be "surprised" to see the government alter the flow-through tax treatment of REITs, saying that structure allows retirees and other retail investors to generate steady income and participate in an investment class that would otherwise be inaccessible.
"Large pension plans can go buy the building itself — the rental property," Robertson said. "Whereas you and I are just the little guy; we should at least have a vehicle as attractive [as the institutional investors have]."
Robertson said he believes the Liberals will ultimately decide to leave the tax treatment of REITs unaltered and focus instead on promises they made to "protect renters" in their 2021 campaign platform.
In their campaign document, the Liberals said they would stop "renovictions" by deterring "unfair rent increases that fall outside of a normal change in rent" and requiring "landlords to disclose, on their tax filing, the rent they receive pre- and post-renovation, and implement a proportional surtax if the increase in rent is excessive."
The Liberals have promised to double the First-Time Home Buyers' Tax Credit to $10,000 from $5,000 and to introduce the First Home Savings Account (FHSA), which would feature tax-free contributions and withdrawals with the goal of helping Canadians under 40 to save up to $40,000 toward a first home. They also promised an anti-flipping tax, requiring homes be held for at least 12 months in order to access the principal residence exemption.

Anything is marketed as a virtual firewall these days, from contexts on physical boxes to hypervisor kernel modules and VMs with a kitschy GUI in front of iptables. This presentation will walk you through the virtual firewalls taxonomy, describe the major architectural options, and illustrate typical use cases with sample products from Cisco, Microsoft and VMware.
If you're a network or security architect, designer or implementation engineer working in virtualized environments, or involved in design or deployment of public or private clouds, this 2.5-hour webinar is a must-have overview of available technologies, deployment scenarios, and scalability concerns.
Webinar was great, I learned also things which I had no idea that exist and get definitely input and ideas which will use in my work.
The webinar was very well delivered and hit all the technical points I was hoping to have covered. As a network architect these webinars are an excellent way for me to keep up to date with technology developments.
It's one of those times when one uses CAPITALS to express how great @ioshints webinar was… Learned a ton, really recommend it.
Awareness of virtual networking concepts and VMware-related challenges are highly recommended. Consider listening to the Introduction to Virtual Networking and VMware Networking Technical Deep Dive webinars before attending this webinar.


We are happy to announce immediate availability of Zentimo 1.6! This version mainly contains speed improvements and fix for critical bugs so it's highly recommended to upgrade.
The program device scanning mechanism was optimized for speed. Now the program scans for hardware changes more quick while loads the system less.
We have just released a small fix for the version 1.6. This release has some language improvements and a minor bug-fix: the program could display the technical error when faulty device is connected or the computer is heavily loaded by another application. This update is also free for those whose license upgrade period is ended between December 26th, 2011 and today, May 29th, 2012.
Note! Due to importance of this release license keys with the update period expired between December 26th, 2011 and May 29th, 2012 are still eligible for this upgrade.
Хотелось бы узнать, планируется ли реализация сортировки программ в меню быстрого запуска и горячие клавиши на эти программы?
Да, мы добавили это в список пожеланий, но думаю что это не в самых ближайших версиях.
I have "Version 1.4 Released August 30, 2011", installed on my system, "Tuesday, September 20, 2011, 8:58:40 PM".
Is this install eligible for the upgrade?
Zentimo has been a good investment, so far.
It's better to read your license key email, here's specified what your license key is and how long it's eligible for upgrades. If you lost your license key email, try to restore it here.
In late May, I have ended one-year subscription for updates … Are there any benefits for the extension subscription or need to buy a new license?
I think there's no benefits for you to extend subscription until we do not release the new version.
I have 1.2.1.1125 and when I try to install the download I get the error: The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program. How shall I deal with this? Do I need to download the whole program new?
У меня подписка заканчивалась 25.04.2012. Теперь Zentimo пишет мне, что она не зарегистрирована. Если я правильно понял, то "обновление доступно даже для тех лицензий у которых срок обновлений истек между 26 декабря 2011 и 25 апреля 2012". Повторный ввод ключа не помогает. Может я что-то не так понял?
Евгений, попробуйте загрузить самую свежую версию (номер версии должен быть 1.6.2.1218), в ней не должно быть этой проблемы.
Да, действительно есть проблема с такими "пограничными" лицензиями. Я сделал новый лицензионный ключ, действительный для данной версии и отправил его Вам, используйте пожалуйста его вместо старого.
Приношу извинения за доставленные неудобства и приятной Вам работы с Zentimo!
Большое спасибо. Всё сработало. Отдельное спасибо за оперативное решение проблемы.
The 1.6.2.1218 prevents the shutdown of Windows 7 32bit. Please make sure you have the old version downloaded before installing. If Zentimo is ended prior to shutdown there is no problem.
Time without Zentimo – less than 30 seconds. With Zentimo – no shutdown after 1 hour.
Wolfgang, the build 1218 shouldn't prevent the OS shutdown, since we fixed this problem in this build. If you encounter this problem in this build please send us the report from the program. In order to send the report you should proceed to "Main menu -> Help -> Report a bug", and in the opened dialog enter your e-mail and a short description of the problem. This helps us to investigate the problem more detailed.
I found the reason for the shutdown problems. The cable connecting my USB 3 PCI-E-Card had slipped off. In daily use that did not show because all devices were attached via 2 hubs with their own energy supply.
So this definitely has not been a software issue. It just occured at the same time Zentimo was updated.
Maybe you should add this to your checklist.
Wolfgang, thanks for the information and enjoy working with Zentimo!
У меня сложилось впечатление, что при использовании опции "Сообщить об ошибке в программе.." программа приложила не только указанный ею файл отчета Zentimo.log.txt, но и тайно, не спрашивая пользователя, забрала файл ZentimoService.log.txt.
Да, это так, к отчету разумеется прилагается еще и ZentimoService.log.txt – лог вспомогательного сервиса программы. Мы разумеется приносим извинения за "тайную" отправку файла, но в действительности в этом файле нет абсолютно никаких личных данных, кроме кратких записей о ходе работы сервиса. Именно поэтому нам ранее в голову не приходила мысль, что мы его отправляем "тайно". Постараемся исправить это в следующей версии.
Просто программа явно указывает Zentimo.log.txt, а о ZentimoService.log.txt умалчивает.
Наверное достаточно будет указать, что этот файл тоже будет отправлен.
A word from the weary.
So I clicked on the provided download link and saved this supposedly-new version.
However, before running it I decided to hover the mouse over the download inside Windows Explorer, and tThe pop-up indicated that this download was Zentimo 1.6.3.1219 not something newer. XStorage Manager's built-in automatic update checker had already detected v1.6.3.1219 back on 29 May (or thereabouts) and had caused it to be installed already on my system.
So this June 5 newsletter caused me confusion, a waste of a few MB of download (not too important), and worst of all a loss of some precious time!
From now on, your newsletters should indicate the precise version number, and that there might be no need to do anything if the "About" for XStorage Manager shows this version number already to be installed.
Timing and accurate newsletter details are CRUCIAL, to avoid such confusion in future. Terms such as "a small fix for the version 1.6" are not good enough.
Sorry for the badly-s[aced feedback above. I made the mistake of using "newline" characters in some places instead of "carrier returns" and this caused your feedback system to bunch the sentences up, eliminating the paragraph spacings that I had carefully placed throughout my text.
First of all I apologize for this confusion. Actually we didn't plan to do the newsletter about this version since it's a small "fix-one-bug" update and we hoped the majority of our users will update through the built-in notifier. But a week after the release I found that there are still many bug-reports from our customers with the old version come to us. Perhaps they disabled the built-in notification about new versions or just skipped it. Therefore we also did the newsletter just to decrease the number of users with the mentioned problem.
Anyway you are absolutely right regarding timing and accurate newsletter details and we will try to do this right next time.
I reported the following issue some months ago and as I did not get any answer I resend the problem report a few days ago and now I am posting it here.
Zentimo treats all the SD cards that I insert in my PC's integrated card reader as the same SD card. Is it possible to set different autorun setting to each SD card? I would like to be able to save device properties in only some cards and not in all or in none of them.
Hi, It would be useful when sending a bug report to have the option of sending a copy to myself. Otherwise it is difficult to track them – would be easier with a forum.
I have just reported a (for me) showstopper bug where Zentimo breaks the virtual drive feature of PowerArchiver.
is it running on windows 8 ?


Do you want to reduce web bounce rates, while increasing engagement?
It may seem that your web site exists in a vacuum. You work on it, tweak it, think about it… it takes up a lot of headspace. But the longer we look at something; the small details come into sharp focus, but usually at the expense of the bigger picture.
Here are a few tips to define your goals so you can keep them embedded in your strategy every step of the way.
Who. Understand the person most likely to buy your services or products. If you have a broad range of buyer profiles, consider a large brand strategy that utilizes specific landing pages that target your markets. But most of the time, there is a specific demographic that is drawn to your brand. They have already softened themselves to your message. And that means fewer marketing dollars.
What. Define the value of your service or product.
Why. What is the benefit to your customer? Let them know what they will get out of if and how it will ultimately improve their life, whether it is savings, convenience, or vanity.
Why not. Know and understand the roadblocks that keep someone from buying from you. Get to the heart of consumer indifference and address it honestly and straightforward.
Where. Find out what site and messages your traffic has just seen. There may be telling insights as to what they will expect to see when they get to your site.
Call-to-Action. If a visitor to your site only does ONE thing…what would you want that to be? Develop a call to action that pushes the consumer where you want them to go. Is it to call, or to visit a location? Whatever it is, funnel your website's information to enforce this message.
These are just a few basic questions to ask and strategies to execute. Design, analytics, search engine marketing, upselling/reselling, database options, e-commerce, email blast campaigns, etc., are just a few of the tactics that are needed for a successful web presence.

For a brief time after the murders of his pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, and some of their closest friends, director Roman Polanski believed that Bruce Lee may have killed them.
People who heard that Quentin Tarantino plans to include Bruce Lee in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" — his upcoming film revolving around the Manson murders — may have been understandably baffled. What did the martial arts master, who died tragically at 32, have to do with the Manson family breaking into Polanski and Tate's home and killing everyone they found there?
This answer, it turns out, is a pair of glasses.
It was the summer of 1969, and Polanski was in a state of deep despair at the murders. No one yet knew that Charles Manson's followers had carried out the grotesque killings, in hopes of sparking a race war.
One day, Bruce Lee mentioned to Polanski that he had lost his glasses.
Polanski paid close attention, because someone had left a pair of glasses in his home, and detectives believed they might belong to the killer.
He also knew Bruce Lee was one of the few people who might have been physically capable of killing a house full of people, all by himself.
Listen to the podcast for Polly's retelling of what happened next. The segment on the Manson murders begins at the 15-minute mark.
Lee's influence on Tarantino can't be overstated. For example, the yellow suit he wore to battle Kareem Abdul Jabbar in "Game of Death" inspired the one Uma Thurman's Beatrix Kiddo (aka The Bride) wore as she took out the Crazy 88, Gogo Yubari and O-Ren in "Kill Bill Vol. 1." There might never have been a "Kill Bill" if not for Bruce Lee's influence on American culture.
It's a natural decision for Tarantino to include Bruce Lee in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." Of course, if you've seen "Inglourious Basterds," you know he won't let historical accuracy keep him from telling the story he wants to tell.
Tarantino is only one of the millions Bruce Lee influenced. As Polly told us, he helped conceive the modern concept of celebrity, spread kung-fu fever across the United States in the 1970s, and inspired artists from Jackie Chan to the Wu-Tang Clan.


UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet raised fears on Friday that the situation "may rapidly spiral out of control, with catastrophic consequences", and called for an independent investigation into claims that Venezuela's security forces used excessive force against protesters this week.
Corruption allegations have also been made. In November, a US court sentenced the former head of Venezuela's treasury, Alejandro Andrade, to 10 years in prison for money laundering.

Former Labour MP: Corbyn's successor 'going to have to do quite a lot' to bring party back to 'decency'
A year ago, former British MP Joan Ryan's political career came to an end when she quit the UK's Labour Party over Jeremy Corbyn's handling of antisemitism, accusing the party leader of "presiding over a culture of antisemitism and hatred of Israel." Ryan recently spoke with Jewish Insider while visiting the U.S. to share her message to American Jews.
Bio: Ryan represented Enfield North for 18 years as a member of the Labour Party — from 1997 to 2010 and from 2015 to 2019. She also served as a cabinet minister under prime ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. In 2015, Ryan became chair of the Labour Friends of Israel, a role she held until her resignation in 2019.
Moment to remember: "I can look myself in the mirror every morning. I feel proud of the action I took," Ryan told JI. "I don't regret it for a minute, and I would do the same again if necessary. It's almost like a relief that when push came to shove I did have the moral courage to do the right thing."
Corbyn paid a price: Ryan said that the campaign against Corbyn in the lead-up to the December election — suitability for prime minister and highlighting his racist views — was a "very significant factor" that contributed to the party's crushing defeat. "Certainly their muddled policy on Brexit had its impact and there was a bundle of issues involved in their catastrophic record-breaking defeat," she explained, "but you don't get a catastrophic defeat for just one reason. There's more to it. I think all the polling since and everything we found on the doorsteps of people who voted Labour in 2017, but wouldn't vote for him in 2019, was they thought Labour had a problem with antisemitism, and had there been a different leader they may well have considered voting Labour."
Electing Boris was worth it: While Corbyn's defeat led to the election of Boris Johnson and the creation of a Tory government, Ryan said it was the right thing to do. "I am not a Conservative and I'm not a fan of Boris Johnson's politics, and I think life might be very tough for a lot of people going forward," she asserted. "But there are some things that are not policy matters, and I think there is a political price to be paid for being antisemitic, and it's not wrong that Labour has paid that price, and will continue to pay it if it doesn't reform itself, visibly and transparently."
Corbyn's successor: There are three candidates running to lead the party: MP Keir Starmer, considered to be the favorite and backed by Gordon Brown; Rebecca Long-Bailey, a former shadow minister in Jeremy Corbyn's cabinet and considered to be an ally of the defeated leader; and MP Lisa Nandy, who is polling far behind both Starmer and Long-Bailey.
Long road ahead: Ryan suggested that the next leader will have three to six months to "take some actions that demonstrate that this isn't just going to be now passed over, hidden away somewhere; that it is going to be tackled. I think that leader is going to have to do quite a lot to demonstrate before we can say Labour is on its way back to decency." Ryan told JI, "This is going to be a long road back, because the Corbynistas are all still there. They've got their hands on every lever of power within the party, and it's going to be a really tough job to peel their fingers off and loosen that grip to start moving the party forward."
Ryan's political future: The former lawmaker said she'd be open to rejoin the party she left "some way down the line" if she determines it has changed course. "My politics didn't change," Ryan stressed. "I never left the Labour Party — they left me. And so, if it returns to those traditional values, to the values of anti-racism, of equality and decency and respect for others, then yes I will return. I'm a little bit bereft without a political home."
Message to the U.S.: Ryan told JI that there's not a direct parallel with the American political two-party system because the overwhelming majority of elected members in the Democratic Party are opposed to antisemitism and support Israel. "I think there are very clear lessons to be learned for the left. One is, you stand up to antisemitism as soon as it appears. You don't think it's a few bad apples, you understand what's going on. You don't gloss over it, you deal with it." And the second lesson, she said, is to fight it "with a moral and intellectual argument," not just use the electability card.
Not a fan of Trump: "I'm not a Donald Trump supporter," Ryan noted, warning that the president's allegations that the Democratic Party is anti-Israel are "wrong and dangerous, and it's making a wedge issue of Israel. I don't think that's of any benefit to anybody."
Brexit's impact on Israel: Ryan also argued that Trump's support of Brexit impacted Israel's standing in the world. "I mean that really has some consequences for Israel because the U.K. was probably the strongest friend of Israel in the European Union and that voice has now been lost," she explained. "I think it has a real impact on the UK's ability to be a strong voice as a friend of Israel. You know, Israel lives in a very dangerous neighborhood and it's always going to need its friends."


I recently listened to a Dharma talk by Sarah Powers; she talked about how interpersonal relationships are such an important part of the yogic path. When we can find a place of equanimity physically and emotionally, and when we can achieve a level of consistent mindfulness, only then, can we start to truly reach new levels interpersonally.
It makes sense. How can we love another being if we don't love ourselves. As a twin, I have always struggled with getting connected to my whole self, my own true identity. As a result, I struggle to find a satisfying connection with my twin sister Katherine. Since my conception, I've shared space, been in reaction to another being. First we shared a womb (Katherine refers to us as "wombmates") and then, even though we weren't identical, from the time we were born, we were seen in reference to the other.
I was tall, she was short. I was shy, she was funny. I was crabby, she was playful. I did sports, she did theater. And now, even though we are adults and have maneuvered our way into our own "identities", vestiges of this shared identity remain. Hearing Sarah Powers talk about equanimity made me think a lot about my twin identity. Do I have individual emotional equanimity? No. Will I ever have it? I hope so, but I realize that, because I am a twin, living in this consistently co-reflective space (albeit subconscious most of the time), I might have to work a little bit harder, dig a little bit deeper.
One place where I don't share identity space with my twin sister is in my yoga life. Maybe that's why it's such a big part of my life, a important daily touchstone for me. It's only me. It's mine. Katherine has an equally vibrant, deep connection to her own work in her life in the Bay area, and I'm guessing that she feels equally enriched from having something that is solely hers.
I'm in a particularly uncomfortable time with Katherine right now. We are struggling to connect, to celebrate each other. Even though in current time, we are very, very different from each other, we still struggle with this complicated shared identity; we are still reacting to each other. Yoga helps remind me who I am. I always say that yoga is a lifetime process. It's a wave we ride, up, down, over, in, out and through. It's not all good or fun or calm, but it's a path that gets us to where we need to go. And once again, yoga, my greatest teacher reminds me that my relationship with my twin is a process as well.

The Temple Between
"The Temple Between" is an adventure for 9th level characters, and it is challenging enough to take them to 11th level by the time all is said and done.

In this adventure the player characters start by investigating the strange behavior of the city's clergy.

The once clear sky is choked with white and grey clouds that clash and boil. As the clouds blacken day turns to night. Lightning flashes followed by a menacing growl of thunder. You are beginning to wonder if you should seek shelter, when all of a sudden there is a blinding crash and a bolt of lightning reduces the statue to dust. For a moment, silence.

DDAL00-01 Window to the Past
When a Thayan research expedition returns from the Glacier of the White Wyrm with only two survivors that are reduced to whispering about an ancient pyramid under the ice, perhaps it is time to discover just what scares the life out of a nation of necromancers. The events of DDEP2 Mulmaster Undone resulted in terrible geographic upheaval all around the southeastern region of the Moonsea. Massive landslides, earthquakes, tidal waves, and gnashing tornados devastated the land and the city of Mulmaster was nearly scrubbed from the face of Faerun. Fortunately, these events also revealed previously hidden artifacts—trinkets, mostly—from the ancient Netherese all around the city. The Thayans have long held an interest in the port city and wasted no time in assisting in the rebuilding efforts. They simply asked that a blind eye be turned to their archaeological interests, and in return they would continue to spend their own resources (at no expense to the Mulmasterites or even the High Blade) to rebuild the city, bigger and better than before. It wasn't long before their interests paid off with the discovery of a research laboratory beneath the Glacier of the White Worm, far to the east of Mulmaster and nestled in the mountains. The Thayans sent a sizable expeditionary force but only two acolytes returned. The visiting Zulkir has found this particularly troublesome, and with the assistance of Rastol Shan, the head of the Cloaks, has arranged for a mercenary force to perform a more pointed investigation of the area. In return the Thayan noble has promised significant compensation. Upon arrival at the dig site, the characters are quick to discover that the laboratory hides ancient and palpable evil. The purpose of the facility can be discerned with careful investigation, and the effect of the still-active fragment of the Dark Obelisk has empowered (some may say attracted) servants of the Worm that Walks. Danger and death await, certainly, though the characters always have the option of running away and living to fight another day…
The Battle of Emridy Meadows
The party is enlisted to assist the Righteous Host, an army formed as a last resort to defend the world against the monsters of Elemental Evil. The host is greatly outnumbered. Its leaders send the party on a series of missions, each of which will give the Righteous Host an edge in the great battle to come. This epic adventure ends with the final push against the forces of Elemental Evil in the Meadows, and the outcome is informed by how effective the party is in their missions... and whether they are willing to risk putting themselves in the front lines. If the Righteous Host loses, players may decide to travel to Hommlet or other nearby towns to defend them. Whether the host is successful or not, players can decide to follow many different plot threads: exploring the Temple of Elemental Evil, finding the lich Kell the Eldest's lair and destroying his phylactory, or following the will of Bitbaern's Shield and discovering historical sites that were previously lost. Pgs. 44-69


Just minutes after 10 o'clock the Gray Eagle left the tarmac, gaining altitude on its first flight in Alaska airspace. Gray Eagle arrived in Alaska late last year to enhance the tactical capabilities of commanders in USARAK Aviation, Stryker and Airborne units, along with joint partners.
The versatility of Gray Eagle gives units in Alaska the ability to train for wartime tasks with real-world combat assets. The aircraft is the newest addition to UATF's inventory, capable of operating in extreme cold regions across the globe.
"With the addition of the Gray Eagle, we continue to provide top notch, professional aviation support to the Stryker and Airborne Brigade while simultaneously maintaining MEDEVAC and aerial firefighting capabilities for the Army and our local partners," said Army Col. Blake Alexander, UATF commander.
UATF's diversity is shown not only by the aircraft they have, but through the variety of their missions and operating environments. Alaska has a range of weather and environmental conditions that cannot be replicated anywhere in the United States.
With extreme altitudes over the highest mountains in North America and in temperatures ranging from 90 degrees in the summer to minus 50 degrees in the winter, UATF aviators are ready to fly, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in support of emergency response medical evacuation missions for the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center and fight summer wild fires in support of the Bureau of Land Management.
These missions go beyond the requirement to provide trained and ready aviation units to the U.S. Pacific Command and for other global contingency operations.
With the addition of an AH-64 Apache battalion in August of 2015, UATF now has an aerial attack capability never seen before in Alaska.
These arctic-capable Apaches are outfitted with skis year-round, stabilizing the aircraft when landing on muskeg, snowpack and glaciers.
The 1st Attack Reconnaissance Battalion, 25th Combat Aviation Brigade is currently testing an equipment pod to hold aviators' extreme cold-weather survival gear, a unique requirement for combat operations in extreme cold regions like the Arctic.
The current era of Army aviation in Alaska began in 2005 with Task Force 49, a medium combat aviation brigade headquarters. Over the next five years, TF 49 deployed seven modular aviation units to Iraq over five separate deployments. In 2011, TF 49 transitioned to become 16th Combat Aviation Brigade and the headquarters moved to Joint Base Lewis-McCord, Washington.
Now under the complete mission command of UATF and USARAK, Alaska aviation battalions have deployed modularly to Afghanistan and Korea and have supported five National Training Center rotations at Fort Irwin, California.
"I'm extremely proud of the accomplishments of the UATF headquarters and staff over the last 10 months," Alexander said. "This unit has demonstrated they can provide the leadership, coordination, mission command and oversight to achieve any mission for the Army and the state of Alaska."
With more aviation combat power now in the Pacific region than in recent memory, UATF stands ready to fly, fight and train in an area bigger than Texas, Montana, California and Kansas combined.
Within that area is the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex, a series of training areas open to joint, interagency and multinational training. The JPARC consists of 65,000 square miles of airspace and 2,490 square miles of land space with 1.5 million acres of maneuver land.
The space allows for full-spectrum engagements, combined arms exercises, and unique opportunities to train with international partners.
"We are looking forward to maintaining our engagement in the pacific with the Nepalese Army Aviation and future coalition partnerships," Alexander said. "I'm really looking forward to this summer as we expand our joint capabilities with the U.S. Air Force during the upcoming Red Flag and Arctic Anvil training exercises."

EXCLUSIVE! Ashish Singh aka Ansh on bagging Sony TV's Kaamnaa: I gave almost 5 to 6 auditions before I was locked for the role
Ashish Singh talks about bagging Sony TV's Kaamnaa and much more.
By Harmisha Chauhan
MUMBAI: Sony TV has recently come up with a new show titled Kaamnaa, which hit the small screens a few days ago.
The show stars Chandni Sharma, Abhishek Rawat, and Manav Gohil in the lead roles.
Kaamnaa is a story of the middle-class family of Akansha and Manav who have different ideologies.
Manav Gohil is seen in a negative avatar in the show, and viewers are loving him in a different avatar.
ALSO READ: Manav Gohil goes dark for the first time in 'Kaamnaa'
The show also stars actor Ashish Singh, who is seen playing the role of Abhishek aka Manav's best friend.
TellyChakkar got in touch with Ashish, who spoke at length about his role in the show and much more.
Character...
I am playing Ansh's character and I am Abhishek aka Manav's best friend. Our bond is clearly visible through our scenes. My character is extremely positive and very supportive. Manav currently has a government job and he is a very good human being. I am a business person in the show and well-settled in my life. I am always there for Manav wherever he needs me. My on-screen wife is also Manav's wife's best friend. Our story starts from Indore. We explore Indore, and the story goes on.
Bagging the show...
I got an audition call from the team. I have been in Mumbai for a long time and giving auditions for various projects. I have done many shows before bagging Kaamnaa. I got a call in the month of September and they wanted to me to audition for it. I gave two takes and they asked me to audition once again. I sent almost 5 to 6 auditions for my role. However, even then, I wasn't selected for the role. Some other actor was locked for the role of Ansh instead of me. But due to some reason, the actor who was finalised for the role of Ansh backed out. Later, I was cast for the role.
Work experience...
Abhishek Sir and I shared the same vanity when we were shooting outdoors. He is extremely jolly and a very positive person. I was going through my script and was a little bit confused, so he helped me with it. I felt that he is an extremely nice person and humble person. Despite being a senior and experienced actor, he didn't make me feel that on the set. He is extremely down-to-earth.
I haven't done any scene with Manav Gohil till now. But recently, when I met him on the set, I got the same vibe from Manav which I got from Abhishek Rawat. I told Manav that I am playing Ansh's character, and he hugged and congratulated me. Both Abhishek and Manav are kind-hearted persons.
The actor has previously done shows like Bhagylakshmi, Love Ka Hai, Kasauti Zindagi Kay 2, and Laal Ishq among others.
Stay tuned to TellyChakkar for all the latest updates.

Chance The Rapper is heading to the big screen, but for now, he won't be directly in front of the camera. Yesterday (May 10), Deadline reported that The Chicago hitmaker has signed on to join the cast of Trolls 2, which is slated for release in spring 2020.
According to the outlet, Chance will not only be voicing a character for the animated film, but he also signed on to record music for the movie's soundtrack. Trolls 2 follows in the footsteps of the first Trolls, which released in November 2016 and grossed $346.8 million worldwide. Justin Timberlake later received an Academy Award nomination for his "Can't Stop the Feeling" record off of the first film's soundtrack and performed it at the 2017 ceremony.
Along with the Coloring Book rapper, Oscar-winning actor Sam Rockwell has also joined the cast of the forthcoming movie, which comes after he won an Academy Award for his role in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Trolls 2 will be produced by Gina Shay, directed by Walt Dohrn and co-directed by David P. Smith.
While this may be Chance's first voice-over gig in a Hollywood film, this isn't the first time he's lent his acting skills to a production. Last year, independent entertainment company A24 recruited the entertainer to star in their Slice film. He also appeared in a VICE short called Mr. Happy back in 2015.
We'll have to await more details on Chance's role in Trolls 2, but congratulations to him on landing a major Hollywood role.

This is the time of year when Eggnog is everywhere. It seems more traditional than a holiday beverage of choice. I personally think eggnog tastes like paint....high gloss latex to be exact. According to a new survey from Poll Position, it turns out that more people like it than not. They polled 1,024 people and a whopping 44-percent gave it a thumbs up, while 34-percent said they didn't like it, seven-percent said they have never tried it and 10-percent had no feelings on the subject one way or the other.
The survey does imply that eggnog is more of an aquired taste and that people over the age of 65 or more likely to enjoy it. Whatever, I still feel the need to wash it down with paint thinner.

Paradise in Augustine's
Sensitive and self-aware portrait of a queer interracial relationship
Note: This review is from the 2017 Fringe
Writing a play about a relationship does seem a big risk – what if the chemistry between the actors doesn't hold up? What if the situation is too specific, and the audience find the premise too limited? Thankfully, Scene proves these concerns unfounded. Written by Lola Olufemi and Martha Krish and performed by Saskia Ross and Laura Cameron, the play revolves around the interracial relationship between two women, Ayo and Flo. It's a smart, sensitive look at the difficulties that can come from having different experiences to your partner.
Saskia Ross is excellent as Ayo, with notable ease and confidence onstage. The play begins with her directly addressing assumptions she has faced as a young black woman in the UK, and throughout the play she discusses issues of prejudice and racism eloquently, aided by a well-written script. Importantly, Scene doesn't shy away from showing her partner Flo's occasional cluelessness regarding issues of race – instead, the play shows how both characters have to work to understand each other's experiences, while making obvious the respect and love that underpins their relationship. The romance is lightened with wit, and certain aspects and references are instantly, pleasingly recognisable to a queer audience.
Although Scene doesn't follow a clear narrative pattern, conflicts arise later in the play which demonstrate the acting skills of the pair. Flo's mother appears via a phone call and functions as something of an adversary to the relationship, a realistic representation of one of the hurdles that queer couples still often have to face. However, the staging does interfere with the emotional impact at times – there is a frankly exhausting and unnecessary amount of running around and walking on and off the stage.
Much more successfully, the play repeatedly engages with the issues of its formation, with Ayo and Flo debating over what to include and whether they are being portrayed fairly. The audience are encouraged to consider how to put a relationship on stage, and the potential impact of doing so on that relationship. This engagement with the meta enables Scene to be tied up in a sweet, emotionally satisfying way.
For anyone looking for a warm, thoughtful reflection on a relationship to finish off their Fringe, it's an excellent choice.

Concerns arise over who would get your personal health info from contact tracing
by: Al Vaughters
(WIVB)–Contact tracing is vital.
When someone tests positive to COVID-19, researchers track down all the places and the people they have been in close physical contact with.
There are even apps to affect this social outreach but there are also drawbacks, even ripoffs.
Most contact tracing is being carried out the old fashioned way, person-to-person or by phone. But what happens to your most personal information once it is gathered by your local or state government?
"It is not going to work unless all of those people are confident that the information they give to the contact tracers is not going to be used against them, is not going to be given to police," Assemblyman Richard Gottfried said.
Gottfried has introduced one of several bills pending in Albany designed to protect the privacy of New Yorkers questioned by contact tracers, the topic of a virtual news conference.
Albert Fox Cahn of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project says, "let's be clear: contact tracing privacy protections are a matter of live and death. If we do not enact these laws New Yorkers will die needlessly, senselessly."
Democrats have submitted two identical Contact Tracing Privacy Protection bills, one in the Assembly the other in the State Senate.
Republicans are offering their own version in the State Senate.
Theirs relates more to the digital gathering of data, the kind that can be collected through a smartphone app, and can fall into the wrong hands or somewhere the virus patient does not trust.
Western New York Republicans are leading the privacy effort in the State Senate, Chris Jacobs is the lead sponsor and Chautauqua County's George Borrello is the co-sponsor.
Attorney General Letitia James is also calling on Google and Apple to block questionable contact tracing apps.

Niagara Falls City School District Fieldhouse to serve as a COVID-19 vaccination clinic
by Patrick Ryan / Jan 14, 2021

The fieldhouse is located at Niagara Falls High School and officials say this new offsite location will help as the state expands who is eligible to get the vaccine.

The ultimate in comfort and fit for your baby - the super soft BAMBOOZLE is made from gorgeous s-t-r-e-t-c-h-y rayon from bamboo.
Bamboo is miraculous and eco-friendly - a renewable resource with a very short growth cycle, it is grown without fertilizers or pesticides.
A great environmental choice for diapers - the Bamboozle's fabric is also super absorbent. Tests have shown that rayon from bamboo absorbs moisture 70% more quickly than cotton (on contact), and dries 20% faster.
This diaper will reach full absorbency after 10 washes, but it can be used after 2 washes.
Wash in hot water and dry in the dryer.
Line drying will extend the life of this diaper.
The Bamboozle is made by our friends at Tots Bots in Scotland.
