Kim Porter's son Quincy has paid tribute to his mother, Kim Porter, two weeks after her sudden death, with a heartbreaking post.
The actor, 27, shared an image of the two of them, as he said he missed his mother, following her passing from 'flu-related symptoms or pneumonia' earlier this month.
The model, who has three children with rapper P Diddy, passed away on 15 November. Quincy is her son with Al B Sure, however, he was raised by the Bad Boys rapper, alongside Christian, 20, and 11-year-old twin daughters D'Lila Star and Jessie James.
Quincy previously paid tribute to his mother, in the days following her passing, on Instagram.
He wrote: 'I am broken… & the only thing that makes sense right now is that you were way too good for this silly world we live in.
Last weekend the model was buried in her home city as the Porter, Goodwin and Combs families issued a joint statement, saying Kim 'broke the mould'.
The statement, given to the Associated Press, read: 'God broke the mould when he made Kim, there was truly no other woman like her.
'Although her time here on earth was far too short, she lived a life full of purpose and meaning. She was a loving mother and devoted friend. She was the epitome of kindness and grace. There wasn't a person she met who's soul she did not touch. Kim was the type of woman who changed lives for the better.
During her service in Georgia, Diddy promised his former partner he'd always be there for Quincy and their children.
'Some people in your life that's gonna be irreplaceable,' he said during the eulogy, in audio obtained by TMZ. 'Kim, we gonna miss you so much. But I ain't gonna miss you too much because I'm not gonna let your voice inside of me stop talking.

Anna Shcherbakova wins in Sochi

Anna Shcherbakova (Photo by @aliz_red_skating)
Two-time Russian National champion Anna Shcherbakova was less than a point behind Daria Usacheva after the short program. The 16-year-old landed a clean opening quad flip attempt and followed up with a triple flip-triple toe loop combination. Gold medalist at the first stage of the Cup of Russia series, Shcherbakova landed two good double axels and presented her typical top-notch artistry throughout. In the second half of the performance, she settled for a triple Lutz instead of a combination, and then landed a triple flip-Euler-triple Salchow, but made a mistake on her final combination. The triple Lutz-triple toe loop combination cost her points, as she had already done three triple toe loops in the performance. She received a high score of 239.91 points and did enough for another gold medal.
Leader after the short program with a score of 78.41 points, 14-year-old Usacheva landed a double axel to start her free skate performance. Skating to music from Romeo and Juliet, Eteri Tutberidze's second skater landed a triple Lutz-double toe loop combination, a triple loop, and another double axel in an amazing start. After a good triple Lutz-Euler-triple Salchow combination, the bronze medalist at the last stage of the Cup of Russia series fell on her triple flip-triple toe loop combination. Still, she earned a total competition score of 225.19 points and successfully won another medal at the senior level this season.
Former World and European champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva opened her free skate with a solid triple axel. She landed a triple Lutz-triple toe loop combination on her next jumping sequence, and managed to hang on to a triple flip afterwards. Tuktamysheva singled an axel in a combination during the second half of her routine and made a few errors on subsequent jumps. Third after the short program and only 0.11 points behind Shcherbakova, Tuktamysheva received a total score of 213.26 points and won bronze.
2019 European champion Sofia Samodurova was fifth after the short program. The 18-year-old skater opened her performance with a triple flip-triple toe loop combination. A fast-paced and energetic start also saw her land a triple Lutz, a triple loop, and a double axel in the first half of the routine. Samodurova singled an axel in the second half of her free skate but the great start and no falls was enough to move up a position in the competition with a total score of 193.05 points.
Seventh at last season's Russian National Championship, 18-year-old Anastasiia Guliakova started her free skate performance with a solid triple flip-triple toe loop combination and a triple Lutz and triple loop. One of three skaters of coach Alexei Mishin in the competition, Guliakova delivered a technically sound first half of the program but fell on a double axel and then a triple loop in the back end of the routine. She earned a total score of 186.44 points and finished in fifth place.
St. Petersburg native Elizaveta Nugumanova was less than five points behind the top five after the short program. Skating to Zayn's Pillowtalk, the 18-year-old opened her program with a triple Lutz. After shaky landings on her first two triples, she landed solid double axel-Euler-triple Salchow and triple loop-double toe loop combinations. A pleasant skater to watch, Nugumanova earned a total score of 179.65 points and placed among the six strongest ladies in the competition.
Seventh after the short program, Stanislava Molchanova began her free skate with a good double axel. The local Sochi skater landed a double Lutz-Euler-triple Salchow combination next, and managed to stay upright on a triple flip attempt around midway through the routine. She fell on a triple Lutz in the second half of the performance but delivered an enjoyable performance overall. Sixth at the first stage of the Cup of Russia series, the 16-year-old received a total score of 171.83 points in her hometown – over twenty one more points than she did in Syzran.
Bronze medalist at the N.A. Panin Memorial competition last week, Arina Andreeva opened her free skate routine with a triple-triple combination. Eighth in the short program, the 15-year-old made a few technical errors but didn't fall and received a total competition score of 148.31 points.
Last at the second stage of the Cup of Russia series, Alina Zabora had a slightly better outing this time. Skating to Josh Groban's You Raise Me Up, she began her performance with a triple loop. At the previous competition, the 17-year-old skater had received a total score of 132.46 points. She earned a total score of 135.26 points this time.
Tenth after the short program, Ekaterina Monic opened her free skate performance with a triple flip-double toe loop combination attempt. A tough competition for the 17-year-old, she struggled on most of her jumping sequences and received a total score of 128.23 points.
Daria Usacheva – 225.19
Anastasiia Guliakova – 186.44
Elizaveta Nugumanova – 179.65

Q: Describe the union and intersection of $n$ open neighborhoods of the same point Given real numbers $x, \delta_1,..., \delta_n, $ I am asked to describe
$$ \bigcap_{i=1}^n N(x, \delta_i ) \; \; \; and \; \; \; \bigcup_{i=1}^n N(x, \delta_i ) $$
where $N(x, \delta_i ) = \{ y: |y-x| < \delta_i \} $
for the first one, I know this set is the set of all points $y \in \mathbb{R} $ such that $|y-x| < \delta_i $ for all $i=1,...,n $. Is this what they are asking for? I am kind of confused.

A: Since each of the neighborhoods in the union and intersection are about the same point $x$, we can describe these simply as
$$\bigcap_{i=1}^n N(x,\delta_i) = N(x, \min \delta_i)$$ and $$\bigcup_{i=1}^n N(x,\delta_i) = N(x,\max \delta_i).$$
The first can be explained by noting that if $y \in \cap N(x,\delta_i)$ then $|y-x| < \delta_i$ for all $i$. Thus $|y-x| < \delta_j$ where $\delta_j$ is the smallest of the $\delta_i$'s. This gives $\cap N(x,\delta_i) \subset N(x,\min \delta_i)$. For the other direction, if $y \in N(x,\min \delta_i)$ then $|y-x| <\delta_i$ for any $i$. Thus $N(x,\min \delta_i) \subset \cap N(x,\delta_i)$.
The second uses a similar argument.

English edition with German, French or Spanish translation in a booklet.
The single most comprehensive book on DC Comics with more than 2,000 images—including covers, illustrations, film stills, and collectibles—and in-depth essays by DC veteran Paul Levitz. This new edition brings you all the same DC glory of TASCHEN's Eisner Award–winning original XL volume in a more compact format.


I don't own nor do I care to own the rights to this image. I found it as a top result when I searched for douchebag.
As the sun glistens off his Axe greased hair, Chad adjusts his white framed sunglasses on his nose. The crowd of people at the party reflecting off his shades, he smiles. Corona in hand he makes his way across the patio, as a girl comes walking towards him, he makes a haphazard attempt at moving out of the way while raising his Corona in the air and looking down through his glasses, lips perched in a "whoah, excuse me" expression, he takes the opportunity to rub "The Captain" against her passing thigh.
With his 'com-pa-drays" having witnessed the smooth move, they start whistling and cat calling, egging him on. As he strolls into his group of friends, one of who has already slept with his girlfriend, and the other who made a successful pass at Chad's mom at a summer party last year, Chad bro-fists his bros in a sign of triumph.
You see, Chad and his friends are what people refer to as Douchebags. Individuals like Chad are clearly douchebags, but we asked ourselves, what about the ones that are not wearing white framed sunglasses and have fake tans, how can we spot them?
We have provided the following checklist as a way to help identify douchebags, of course, this is not an exhaustive list, so by all means, please post other suggestions in the comment section.
If they have "dropped" their car, meaning, they have cut the coil springs or removed leaf springs.
Honestly, the list is too long for a page post and I haven't updated this blog in almost four years so this is as much as you're going to get.
Please help douchebags come to a moment of self-realization by sharing this post on your favorite social media.
Wears a man bun with his hair.
That's a good one Peter, thanks!

Beachside Dining Spotlight: Two New Concepts Coming Soon to 451 S Atlantic Ave!
Two new dining concepts are breaking ground in Daytona Beach! First, the new Jimmy-Buffet-themed LandShark Bar & Grill will expand the Margaritaville Holdings footprint in Daytona Beach, breaking ground on July 12, 2017. According to the Margaritaville Holdings website, the LandShark Bar & Grill concept recreates the old beachfront boardwalk restaurants that once ruled the Atlantic coastline. With a laid-back atmosphere, menu and décor that celebrate the beach lifestyle, LandShark Bar & Grill hopes to capture a sense of being on a beach vacation year-round, complete with Buffet-inspired food and signature drinks. The Daytona Beach location will join eight other LandShark Bar & Grill concept restaurants already operating from Atlantic City to Biloxi to Harvest Caye, Belize.
Cocina 214, a popular high-end Tex Mex concept out of Winter Park, will share the lot at 451 S Atlantic Avenue with LandShark Bar & Grill. According to the company's website, Cocina 214 was conceived when two of the owners decided it was time to bring the authentic Tex-Mex cuisine they had grown up eating in Texas to Winter Park. The Winter Park location combines fresh ingredients with a trendy, upscale atmosphere to showcase the beloved food from their childhood. Cocina 214 received the 2017 Orlando Sentinel Foodie Award for Best Mexican Restaurant, and has received the Orlando Magazine Dining Award for Best Mexican/Tex-Mex for the past six consecutive years.

Movie Review: "Warm Bodies"
- by Kazekun, 4 February 2013
What do you get when you mix bunnies, puppies, the feeling of a smile in the warm summer breeze, and flesh eating zombies that will out right kill you without a second thought… unless they suddenly have a change of heart and then fall in love with you and… you get the idea. Well if your answer was a strong first outing for cinema for 2013 and an overall damn good movie, well then you were right. Congratulations. Here's a zombie.
Warm Bodies is brought to you by Mandeville Films and the mind of Isaac Marion, the original author of the book this movie is based on. It tells the tale of a young zombie named 'R', who lives probably the most ordinary zombie life there is. Seriously, he walks, grunts, walks some more and occasionally bumps into people. He has a best friend and they have almost-conversations and he thinks about how life must've been like before everybody turned into the walking dead.
Okay, maybe that's not exactly ordinary, but then, what do we know? That's what this movie sets out to prove when 'R' meets Julie, a young blonde with good aim and good looks. After feasting upon her boyfriend's brain he begins to see Julie in a whole new light and it starts to turn him… human again.
R and his best friend, trying to chat.
What makes this story so unique is that it takes the idea that zombies can get better, and even worse, than how we are used to seeing them. If they simply 'give up,' as we're told, they become 'Bonies.' Creatures that are too far turned and are impartial to both zombies and humans; they're skeletons that will eat anything with a pulse and will hunt you down until they get their prey, no matter how far you run.
The film is also heavily influenced by music, with a wide array of genres featured within. And each piece fits the scene in which it is placed, but never gets in the way of the quiet moments that matter the most. The movie is scary in all the right places, as I found myself jumping like a little sissy several times (or perhaps I'm just easily frightened. Yeah, that may be it.).
But like any movie, it isn't perfect and has some flaws. The biggest being the portrayals of how the zombies begin turning back into human. After a certain point it begins to feel forced and rushed simply to move the plot forward. We get to feel and experience with 'R' his long journey to recovery and it feels believable in every way; for the rest of the zombies though, not so much. The movie almost heavy hands the idea of love and acceptance being the way to cure these creatures, but if that were the case then many lives that were probably lost, due to them trying to find the love lost from their now undead lovers, were really really jipped.
Julie trying to be a zombie.
In fact the movie introduces an idea at the beginning: it's the very reason why 'R' begins to turn back into a human, which is actually the most interesting concept of the film. But as fast as it's introduced, it's gone and never heard from again. These other zombies didn't get their feelings the same way 'R' did, so why would they be returning to human form? And if that's the case, if the reason 'R' started changing back was due to the idea they introduced at the beginning of the movie, then why didn't any of them begin transforming sooner, if at any point they ate a person's lover in front of them?
It just feels like one giant deus ex machina to move the plot towards its incredibly good, but unfortunately predictable, end.
But say what I will about the plot holes, the actors in this film nail every character and scene. Nicholas Hoult, who plays 'R,' does a marvelous job making us believe him to be a zombie becoming human again. As we follow him on his journey, we feel every emotion he shows on scene. Teresa Palmer also gives a strong performance as Julie. When she's scared we feel bad for her, when she's being badass we're rooting for her.
Nicholas Hoult as "R".
I couldn't find a bad performance in this film. Well, except for Dave Franco who plays Julie's (now dead) boyfriend Perry. He was given a very archetypical role to play, but still I just couldn't feel anything when he was on screen. It was as if he was reading from the script with the most monotone voice possible.
Overall though, Warm Bodies boasts strong performances all around, smart writing, some great visuals and an eclectic soundtrack anyone can enjoy. It's a great film. Take the whole family, it's a good time and you won't be walking out of the film disappointed.
Final Score: 4 De-Zombifying Heartbeats out of 5.

Added on December 11, 2018 by Sarah Schmidt.
This past summer, I was approached by La Dispute to make an animated music video for a song off their new album, Panorama. That made me excited and nervous - I knew they meant a lot to a lot of people. Even though I actually love listening to music like this (and hold it very near & deer to my heart), I tend to think of my animation style as very goofy and silly. I absorbed the prompt the best I could and sent over 3 variants of ideas with small descriptions/references - the last of three being something I had thought of a few years prior. Imagine a deer wandering through isolated back roads and being immune to death… could be fun!
When everything confirmed, I knew I needed to consult my friends that were longtime fans. If I had the responsibility of making something for a band with such a strong fanbase, I knew I needed to pick brains about why they liked them so unconditionally, what they made them feel like, and where they brought them. Talking with everyone made me feel better about capturing the feeling of a long drive through the midwestern countryside at night (something I spent a lot of time doing when I got my driver's license and that I honesly miss a lot). This feeling of being self-reflective in a dark, rural, isolated setting started feeling more and more plausible.
Nothing really makes a new move across town feel right than walking to the nearest coffee shop and writing notes/doing thumbnail sketches for a few hours. After I really worked the idea out in my brain, I had enough material to start a more cleaned-up storyboard.
Next… I kinda just had to get to work. Made an animatic/started timing out all of the storyboards to the song itself; leaving a ton of room for movement/animation that would come later. My main point of contact, Adam Vass, was huge on describing colors to me since the start. I ended up making a color guide so nothing ever felt too up in the air/out of place. The plan was to ramp the colors in a different direction depending on the type of light in the scene.
Always helping me in some shape or form, Karl gave me some suggestions as far as texture/grit to zap into this thing.
After a lot of back and forth, and inbetweens… we had our final video!
This project was a blast. Cheers to more animations in 2019.
Added on June 14, 2018 by Sarah Schmidt.
Long time no blog... this year my new short will be playing at Animation Block Party 15! My film is not techincally in competition... I was selected to be on the Jury!! This festival has been a blast to attend/participate in the past few years so I wanted to ramble about it.
A few years ago, my Super77 coworkers and I knocked out a in-studio side project called Synapse. When I was hired in 2014, it became the thing I did in my downtime - which was awesome, considering how excited I was to be animating frame-by-frame cel work. Once we finished the project in 2016, we got it into Animation Block Party, this rad little festival in New York City. The director/original illustrator Sean Conner & my cel animation brother Karl Fekete set off for big city hangs (here's a pic I drew to commemorate the occasion). We had a blast and ended up taking home the "Minute Movie" award!
My friend Alex's bass for reference - used his Columbus band Nuclear Moms as reference, too, in the first styleframe.
After that... it was time to jam. A little obsessed with wanting to do a good job on the animation and also wanting to spend more time on freelance and prersonal projects, I stepped down from my position as a illustrator/animator at the studio in February 2017. It was one of the hardest things I had done at that point, and I am so thankful the family I'd built there over the past three years let me continue working on this little commission under their name. I spent the following months balancing adjusting to a fulltime freelance schedule and kicking this thing out.
Initially - I thought it'd be cool to make the colorscheme monochromatic, changing hues until the fight scene when things would turn red - I worked in all grayscale leading up to the finished product. Karl ended up making the colors look great and adding a good splash of texture/fx - to hit the deadline, I ended up needing a little help on the ending. I drew up a few keyframes for the fire and he did the rest of the flamey goodness. All the type is him, too, including this awesome banner (Karl is my favorite graphic designer friend, and he is SO GOOD at lettering!!). Karl + his buddy Ben Branstetter did all the audio!

I found this ~1 gram stone in December of 2015 in Nevada and had it set aside with 3 – 4 other odd rocks I picked up that day. There were very few rocks in the area, so I pocketed anything that looked remotely interesting.
Fast forward about a year: I was clearing up, and went through the 'maybe meteorites' on my desk from some past hunting trips. I threw out all of the others, but…the smooth side on this tiny rock bugged me. It really looked like old fusion crust. But the stone had big white crystals sticking out of the other side and looked like…granite, if anything.. Slim odds it was anything, but…eh.
While putting some things together for the Denver show, the baggie caught my eye, and I threw it in my pack. It was almost too small for the XRF, but Blaine Reed was able to quickly and non-destructively confirm that it is in fact a meteorite!

Tamil Nadu: DMK observes hunger strike to protest Palaniswami trust vote
Chennai, Feb. 23 -- The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) on Wednesday observed a day-long hunger strike to protest against the eviction of its legislators from the Tamil Nadu assembly during the confidence motion on Saturday. "This is not just to condemn the murder of democracy in the assembly, it is also to assure that people are ready to remove this government which is run by a convict V.K. Sasikala," said M.K. Stalin, DMK working president and leader of the opposition. Sasikala, general secretary of the ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), is said to wield power over chief minister Edapaddi Palaniswami's government despite being lodged in a Bengaluru jail in a disproportionate assets case. ALSO READ | For Edappadi Palaniswami, the tough part begins now Stalin participated in the hunger strike from Tiruchi, along with Rajya Sabha MP Tiruchi Siva and senior leader K.N. Nehru. In Chennai, DMK legislators and other party leaders took part in the strike at various locations. With DMK allies Congress and Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) having extended their support, the hunger strike was also observed in neighbouring Puducherry. Stalin will take the issue to President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday, said the DMK . Meanwhile, spokesperson Panruti S. Ramachandran of the Sasikala faction of AIADMK, while talking to reporters, defended speaker P. Dhanapal's decision not to adopt a secret ballot for the trust vote on 18 February. ALSO READ | FIR filed against M. K. Stalin, DMK MLAs, MPs "Toppling AIADMK government is the only objective behind all the moves of the DMK," said Ramachandran. The legislative assembly which had gathered on 18 February for a floor test to prove majority support for CM Palaniswami was marred by violence after the DMK, Congress, IUML and former chief minister O. Panneerselvam's faction of the AIADMK demanded a secret ballot. They alleged that MLAs supporting Palaniswami were under duress as they had been lodged at a private resort on the outskirts of Chennai for more than 10 days and open voting could favour the chief minister. Opposition parties had also demanded that the trust vote be held on another day as governor Vidyasagar Rao had given 15 days for Palaniswami to prove his majority. As the speaker did not agree to the demands, violence erupted and the DMK was evicted from the assembly. After Congress and IUML walked out, Palaniswami easily won the vote of confidence 122-11. Eleven legislators from Panneerselvam's camp voted against Palaniswami. Stalin and other DMK members met governor Vidyasagar Rao after the pandemonium in the assembly and later proceeded to the Marina beach to protest, before being arrested. Meanwhile, Governor Rao sought a detailed factual report on the happenings in the state assembly on the day of the trust vote. Assembly secretary A.M.P. Jamaludeen submitted a report to the governor on Monday. DMK on Monday moved the Madras high court, seeking to have the trust vote declared "null and void". The case, which came up for hearing on Wednesday, has been adjourned to 27 February and the petitioner has been asked to submit a video of the pandemonium in the assembly.

The inside story of Tinder's decision to send two users on a Hawaiian first date
July 19, 2017 by Diana Bradley
Tinder's head of marketing and communications, Rosette Pambakian, dishes on the strategy behind the dating app's attention-grabbing idea.
WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA: Kent State University students Michelle Arendas and Josh Avsec matched in 2014 on Tinder, but never met in real life. However, they did sarcastically send sporadic messages to each other with lame excuses for why it took so long to reply.
After many (intentional) missed connections, Avsec tweeted screenshots of the conversations he's had with Arendas, showing how long it took for them to text each other back. Media outlets including BuzzFeed covered the banter.
Hahahaha one day I'm going to meet this girl and it's going to be epic. Look at the dates of our tinder texts. pic.twitter.com/DASQK4c5cX
— Josh Avsec (@Wes_03) July 8, 2017
When Tinder head of marketing and communications Rosette Pambakian saw the news about the couple, she knew it was too good of an opportunity to pass up.
"It was so funny that for three years this conversation kept going, and we thought it was amazing they maintained this relationship on the platform," Pambakian said of her team's initial reaction. "But we are all about getting people together in real life in the real world, so we thought we would get them together."
Tinder's marketing team is full of engaged millennials who are social media pros, noted Pambakian. The brand's first response to Avsec's tweet came three days later.
Good things come to those who wait ??
— Tinder (@Tinder) July 10, 2017
After the tweet, Tinder knew it had to go to another level, Pambakian said. An hour later, the dating app tweeted again at Avsec and Arendas, telling them they had 24 hours to choose a spot for their first date.
It's time you got together IRL. You have 24 hrs to decide the city you want to have your first date in and we'll send you there! @mch_rnd https://t.co/7r2JQtcxKC
For once, the pair replied quickly, picking Maui as the destination.
After a long debate over your unbelievably generous offer, our dream first-date would be in Hawaii. Meet you in Maui?? @mch_rnd
— Josh Avsec (@Wes_03) July 11, 2017
"[There] wasn't a lot of intense thought" that went into the idea, said Pambakian, who added that the company decided to "jump in with the rest of the world." It did not conduct any background research on Arendas or Avsec before making its offer.
"Because of their experience with Tinder, we knew they were ideal people for us to do this with," she added. "They were using the app the way it was intended: to have fun and create a relationship. There wasn't any coaching."
It wasn't until after inviting them to pick a location for their first date that Tinder representatives had an offline conversation with Arendas or Avsec.
"They were surprised to see the conversation went so viral and that so many people were genuinely interested," said Pambakian of how initial talks went.
Outlets that have covered Tinder's campaign include People, The Sun, HuffPost, USA Today, and Today. M Booth, Tinder's PR AOR, has been fielding media inquiries.
"We've been getting media requests from around the world with requests to interview us and the couple and hear more about this," said Pambakian. "It hasn't been a difficult story to peddle at all."
Tinder's top priority is sending the couple to Hawaii and making sure they have an amazing time, she added. The itinerary is still being planned, but Pambakian said the official date will probably take place within the next month. Local companies and organizations, such as the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau, have reached out via Twitter to get involved, but Tinder has not yet partnered with any groups.
"This is a great example of not realizing how moving your experience can be to people around the world until you share it," said Pambakian. "We want people to share their unique, fun Tinder experiences with us. I love these positive stories to be highlighted and give people on Tinder hope that great things can happen."

The structural break in the equity premium
Chang-Jin Kim, James C. Morley, Charles R. Nelson
This article uses Bayesian marginal likelihood analysis to compare univariate models of the stock return behavior and test for structural breaks in the equity premium. The analysis favors a model that relates the equity premium to Markov-switching changes in the level of market volatility and accommodates volatility feedback. For this model, there is evidence of a one-time structural break in the equity premium in the 1940s, with no evidence of additional breaks in the postwar period. The break in the 1940s corresponds to a permanent reduction in the general level of stock market volatility. Meanwhile, there appears to be no change in the underlying risk preferences relating the equity premium to market volatility. The estimated unconditional equity premium drops from an annualized 12% before to the break to 9% after the break.

Crowdtap receives $7M so you can give big companies a piece of your mind
Meghan Kelly	 July 29, 2011 11:04 AM
What if you got to directly influence brands like AOL, General Electric and Pinkberry while earning prizes? Crowdtap, which provides marketing research through its network of volunteers, received $7 million in funding to get you there.
According to Crowdtap, there are two big problems with marketing today. First, it's expensive for businesses to gain insight into their potential markets. Exploring a market and testing a product has time, manpower and actual cash cost. Second, the consumers who do provide insight (through focus groups or polls, for instance) generally do so in a "one and done" setting. Crowdtap thinks it can fill the gaps.
To do this, Crowdtap starts with manpower. "We bring people," said chief executive Brandon Evans, "We have a network of 150,000 and add about 5,000 a week." This network is what Crowdtap calls its brand influencer communities. They provide insight through polls and discussions.
In order to incentivize, or make volunteering for these panels desirable, Crowdtap turned to gamification. Focus groups are given gift cards, support for charities and even products. The more people participate and become influential for a brand, the more likely they are to get a prize, which encourages them to continue participating. That in turn creates a consistent set of people who brands can leverage for re-targeting.
Evans used the example of Diet Coke. If Coke asks a group if they like diet soda, and they answer yes, Coke can then go back and send that group some Diet Coke. Those in that group then share their thoughts about the specific brand with friends, ideally turning them from guinea pigs into brand advocates.
Crowdtap plans to use its funding to make hires, particularly in the engineering and sales team. Also on its list are plans to beef up the gamification aspect, which Evans believes is an integral part of the company's offerings. "It's about making it fun, making it a game," he said.
The company is particularly excited to partner with the Foundry Group, which funded Zynga. "We really liked them and really bonded with them," said Evans. "They do a lot with gamification."
Crowdtap was founded in 2009 and has 13 employees. The New York based company was incubated by Mr Youth, which provided Crowdtap with its $3 million seed funding, and participated in this round. Crowdtap investors include Foundry Group, Mr Youth and GSA Venture Partners.

Church Wedding Is Not Biblical, 'For Better For Worse' Is Satanic - Reno Omokri
Reno Omokri has gotten many people talking on social media after making a controversial statement on Twitter.
The former presidential aide who is known for dishing out words of advice on a daily bass on his Twitter handle, made the controversial statement earlier today, June 27th, claiming that church wedding us not Biblical.
In his statement, Reno said Jesus played no part in the marriage at Cana but only turned water into wine. He also said that the phrase 'for better for worse' is satanic.
He wrote: "Jesus played NO PART in the MARRIAGE at Cana. The only thing He did was turn WATER to WINE during the FEAST that FOLLOWED the WEDDING. If you want to justify Church Wedding, then couples should go to church with WATER for the PASTOR to turn to WINE
"The power of a priest or pastor to pronounce you 'MAN and WIFE' comes from man, not from God. Read The Bible. It is God's letter to you. There is nothing like that in The Bible. Marriage is a FAMILY matter involving the couple and their parents ONLY
"For BETTER for WORSE, in SICKNESS and in HEALTH' is SATANIC. It's a CURSE! You are accepting an evil prophesy. God's testimony about you and your marriage is that "GOODNESS and MERCY shall follow you ALL (not SOME) the days of your life"-Psalm 23:6"

Words Matter, Always
Image from Words Matter, Calvary on 8th Students, vimeo, CC license
Alt-left, alt-right, and words creating false equivalency
The eclipse could distract us only so long from the terrible violence and divisions in the world. The eclipse made many of us see our position in the universe more clearly—an experience of our smallness and our commonality that, for a brief moment, brought some sense of shared humanity. And this past weekend we in the US had another reminder—the devastating Hurricane Harvey and the disastrous flooding of Houston and one-quarter of the people in Texas that continues still.
But even those singular experiences fade faster than the repeated violence, terrorism, and hatred around the world.
The meanings of those repeated experiences are shaped by the people who comment on them, who tell us what those experiences mean. And those meanings become cemented through repetition, especially through the repetition of words.
"Alt-right," not white supremacists
"Alt-left," not counter-protestors
In the face of this effort to create false equivalency between neo-Nazis and those who oppose racism, I feel the need to return to a point I've written about several times in several ways.
The words we use matter
Words shape how we see the world and each other
If you have time, I'd ask you to reread a few of my earlier posts, to build the many ways the importance of the words we use plays out (there are more posts on words and meanings, but here are the most relevant today):
How Words Reflect and Shape Us
What does Alt-right really mean (though I would come down harder on the term today)
As I wrote before:
The words we use come from who we are, as individuals, a society, and a culture. Words reflect our values and beliefs, our ways of viewing the world. And they reflect our history, who we have been. And words may then shape our views of the world, too, influencing what we see and how we see.
Think of the words homosexual gay queer trans LGBTQ+ and slurs I won't name
Or whether we label someone a shooter, murderer, or terrorist
Or whether someone is pro-life or anti-choice, pro-choice or pro-abortion
Or even whether we call a car wreck an "accident":
Instead of "accident," highway patrols and safety agencies are using the words "crash" and "wreck." According to Mark Rosekind, director of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
"When you use the word 'accident,' it's like God made it happen."
"Instead, humans cause most wrecks through their risky behavior—drunk driving, speeding, distracted driving, or not wearing a seat belt. But if you say it was an accident, it makes it seem unavoidable. The Kansas Department of Transportation is trying to change the mindset by changing the words they use. The Missouri Highway Patrol now files "crash reports" instead of "accident reports."
Or, from a more recent post, think about the ways our words present cancer as a battle. Maybe new ways of treating cancer will shift patients from "survivors" of a war to cohabiters or roommates, people "living with" cancer long-term.
Words will always shape our perspective, like it or not.
But, as journalists and other truth-tellers recognized in the early days of the current US presidency, "alternative facts" don't become factual just because Kellyanne Conway says they are. They're still falsehoods at the least, lies at the most.
The danger lies in letting the words pass, as I argued before:
If we come to accept statements contrary to documented facts as "alternatives" rather than wrong, then there's nothing keeping anyone from asserting anything. In fact, [then press secretary Sean] Spicer argued that Trump can keep claiming with no substantiated evidence that millions of illegal votes were cast in the election, causing him to lose the popular vote, because it is his "long-standing belief." The fact that there's no evidence to support that claim—in fact, there is evidence to the contrary—matters not at all if "alternative facts" are justified by "belief." We are indeed in a post-truth world.
We have the power to resist.
My comments on sexual assault being dismissed as "locker room talk" have become relevant again:
"The power of naming is that it's not individual, but collective. One person can insist on framing it as "locker room talk," but the framing succeeds only if others accept it. That's the difference between naming and "spin." Any publicist can attempt to spin a story, to reframe what happened in a different light. But naming comes from the culture that's there, the beliefs and attitudes emerging from who we are and who we want to be, a framing already present among us.
We still have the power to resist the renaming before it becomes so insidious that we stop noticing it. We are not yet in Orwell's dystopian novel 1984.
(Adding to a bit of an earlier post again:)
When resisters are chided for being "alt-left" because they are an alternative to hatred, beware.
When pronouns define a "we" that excludes large numbers of people* and a "them" that now seems to include you, beware.
When well-established scientific evidence becomes part of a "debate" with "two sides," beware.
When the powers-that-be use the word "Islam" repeatedly and only in the label "radical Islamic terrorists," beware.
Now is the time, as it is happening and we can still recognize it. Don't let powerful individuals usurp the power of naming. Assert our collective power to resist. Insist that our collective culture is not post-truth but knows the difference between fact and belief. Insist that we all, without excluding anyone, must watch what we say. Because we know these alternative truths--
Resistance is not futile.
Words matter.

By now, everyone surely knows about "alternative facts." Trump's press secretary Sean Spicer gave numbers for the crowd size at his inauguration that differed drastically from those of the National Park Service and media. In an interview with Chuck Todd on Meet the Press, counselor to Trump Kellyanne Conway called the administration's statements "alternative facts."
The biggest problem here is that Conway called those statements "facts." Todd pointed out that four of the five "facts" Spicer told were "just not true." As he said, "Alternative facts are not facts. They're falsehoods."
It matters what we call things. It matters what words we use.
Words matter–that's becoming a familiar topic for my blog, as some of you may recognize. It matters whether we call it "locker room talk" or "sexual assault." It matters whether we call them "alt-right" or "white supremacists." It even matters whether we say someone "passed" or "died" and whether the cause was a "crash" or an "accident."
It matters whether we call them "alternative facts," "falsehoods," or just plain "lies."
As I've explored in those other posts
"the words we use shape our perceptions and attitudes."
If we come to accept statements contrary to documented facts as "alternatives" rather than wrong, then there's nothing keeping anyone from asserting anything. In fact, Spicer argued yesterday that Trump can keep claiming with no substantiated evidence that millions of illegal votes were cast in the election, causing him to lose the popular vote, because it is his "long-standing belief." The fact that there's no evidence to support that claim—in fact, there is evidence to the contrary—matters not at all if "alternative facts" are justified by "belief." We are indeed in a post-truth world.
My words from discussing locker room talk, with no idea it would be relevant again so soon:
We the people have the power to refuse that naming, at least when it's new. The news media have the power to help the culture resist not just by calling out those counter-factual statements but also by choosing their words carefully when they report. The New York Times analyst Dan Barry explained the New York Times decision to call the current administration's statements about illegal voting--and other demonstrably false repeated statements--"lies," not soften them as "falsehoods" or "untruths" because 'Words matter." To call them "lies" is to assert intent behind those falsehoods, stating falsehoods as truths with full knowledge that they are false. Are these "alternative facts" just non-factual "falsehoods," as Todd more gently named them? Or are these "alternative facts" better called knowing and deliberate "lies"? The media are making those decisions now, so now is a critical time in the collective's ability to resist.
The news media have long carried the role of watchdog, a clichéd name that presents the media as protectors of the people, barking and attacking when dangers threaten us. The current administration is trying to shift that perspective by shifting words. White House strategist and senior counselor Stephen Bannon this past week labeled the media as "the opposition party."
"You're the opposition party. Not the Democratic Party. You're the opposition party. The media's the opposition party."
Notice the repetition, and not just of "opposition" but "opposition party"—you are the opposition party, the media is the opposition party, you are the opposition party. Say it long enough and maybe it will stick. To reframe the news media from "watchdog" to "opposition party" is to shift their role as protector of the people to protector of political interests.
It's no coincidence that Amazon sold out of paper versions of 1984, George Orwell's classic 1949 novel about life under a totalitarian regime. To control the people and remove their trust in their own perceptions of reality, the regime controls the language, using "Newspeak" to redefine "alternative facts."
"War is peace.
Ignorance is strength."
― George Orwell, 1984
We are well past the year 1984 but not past the danger of Newspeak. Turning one powerful person's beliefs into "alternative facts," with anyone who says differently being the "opposition party," threatens to make us question our own perception of reality and to question the reliability of our news sources.
We are not there yet. Individuals are renaming reality, but the collective has not yet accepted it. Words and meanings are sneaky, though. They infiltrate the collective consciousness and reshape our thinking unawares—unless we resist that lack of awareness.
Each of us can help resist. Challenge the media to be blunt and direct, and support the news outlets that in that way risk the administration's punishments. And watch your own words, on social media, in classrooms, in conversations with friends. Stay alert to euphemisms, and call a lie a lie. "Alternative facts" is so outrageous a renaming that Todd jumped on it immediately. Bannon was far from subtle in pounding at the media as "opposition party." But other attempts at renaming will be subtler and more insidious.
*(As, to be fair, my own use of "we" in this column assumes an audience of people who privilege evidence over belief. Reread this post; notice and question the meaning of my "we" and "them.")

"Kashmir only place where bullets fired in air killing people"
Stray bullet fired in self defence killed Pulwama youth: Pulwama Admn tells SHRC
Srinagar: The report submitted by the Deputy Commissioner and the SSP Kupwara before the State Human Rights Commission has revealed that a youth Fayaz Ahmed Wani of Chew Kalan, Pulwama was killed after government forces fired in self defence on September 3, 2018.
According to a statement issued here, the official reply comes in response to the petition filed by chairman international forum for Justice and Human Rights Muhammad Ahsan Untoo under case number SHRC/290/Pul/2018 dated September 4.
The reply submitted by the D.C. and SSP Pulwama states that on September 3, forces launched a CASO in village Gusoo, Chew Kalan after reliable inputs about the presence of militants.
"Forces fired tear gas shells and a few shots in the air in self defence. Fayaz Ahmed Wani had taken his cow to a nearby field for grazing and a stray bullet hit him after which he was shifted to SMHS hospital Srinagar where doctors declared him brought dead," the reply reads.
It states that the deceased was a layman not involved with any political non political organisation.
The report further states that the RS 1 lakh has been sanctioned as the ex-gratia for the next of kin of deceased.
The petitioner while mocking at the official claims stated that Kashmir seems to be the only place in the world where bullets fired in self defence that too in air results in the killing of innocent people.
"I urge the commission to hold a high level probe in the incident and to identify the forces personnel for killing an innocent," he said. (KNS)


The CPI(M) on Thursday proposed stoppage of mass surveillance, statutory minimum wage of not less than Rs 18,000 per month and curbing monopolies over telecom and internet service platforms in its manifesto for the coming Lok Sabha elections.

It also proposed statutory minimum wage of not less than Rs 18,000 per month, universal Public Distribution System with 35 kg of food grains per family, rise in taxes of rich, restoration of inheritance tax and old age pension of Rs 6,000 per month.


When dealing with our kids, we always have to ensure that your patience is high enough that we can control ourselves when parenting reaches its peak. Whenever our 4-years-old makes a big mess in his bedroom with his toys, I always asked him to clean up and put all his toys in the bin.
This is just one of those times that he needs to clean up his messy room so he'll be able to go outside. Glad that he was obedient too, of course the Mamarazzi has to take a stolen shot in this matter.
I completely agree...our home is the best foundation! That's what I call best parenting right there. Great job, mommy for teaching the little guy!
Teaching your kids to clean up their mess is important.
HAHAHA love the word Mamarazzi!!! I might have to borrow that from you sis. We also try to do what you do with our son. Most often than not he follows us and cleans up after himself.
Start 'em young. That's a good thing you've taught your kid sis.
We should start teaching our kids early on when it comes to values such as diligence, respect, industriousness, following orders and being responsible on their actions. I remember my daughter when she was 5 or 6 and was not cleaning up after she played. My hubby reminded her that if she didn't clean up, she would find her toys in the bin. And that was given in a normal but firm manner. But she didn't heed. We reminded her again the next day that when she played, she should keep the toys afterwards. She didn't do it and my husband even accidentally stepped on one of the blocks she left causing a slight injury. So, the third day, when she still didn't listen, my husband and I grabbed her toys, placed them in a bin liner and dumped it in "paper waste bin" (which was a clean bin because it's only used for recycling of paper). She saw what we did and we firmly told her that her toys would not walk towards their proper places on their own. She had to clean up. I think since then, she learned her lesson.
As for the toys, we "magically" placed them back in the shelf while she was sleeping after sanitizing them of course. hahaha. She cleaned up after that incident. it taught her a lesson that if she left her stuff lying everywhere, she knew where they would go next - down to the bin!
Oh, I got carried away with my mama stories hahaha.
You're absolutely right! Kids must be taught to pack up their boys and clean up their mess so that they will learn to become responsible at a young age.

Q: JavaScript: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token on an else if line this is my pretty much my first JavaScript program.
I don't get why it won't work, I don't know how to debug properly, I used F12 on Google chrome to go in developer mode. If I load my html page, nothing happens and the consol says:

Opened as a theatre named Scala Theatre in 1886, it began to show films from 1904. In 1935 it became a permanent cinema after renovations to the plans of architect Leopold van den Broeck. Seating was provided for 850 in the orchestra and 600 in the balcony. In 1944 the bombarding of the Rex Cinema nearby caused damage to the Scala Cinema.
It re-opened in 1947 and came under the direction of MGM distributors like the Cameo Cinema and Queens Hall Cinema in Brussels, which where only showing MGM films. Re-named Metro Cinema, Elvis Presley in "Jailhouse Rock" was shown at the Metro Cinema in March 1958, first-run for Belgium before Brussels. MGM had sold their cinema in Brussels in the late-1950's and also in Antwerp.
The Metro Cinema was over taken by George Heylen's Rex Cinema concern. In 1965 "Goldfinger" attracted over 20,000 admissions and was then moved over to the Savoy Cinema on Astridplein. In 1981 Heylen twinned the Metro Cinema with the second screen in the former balcony. It was closed in 1993 due to the bankruptcy of the Rex company and it was demolished, the site is now included in the multiplex complex UGC Antwerpen.
I enjoyed the fact that you liked my website www.antwerpcinema.be with all the info on the cinema's in Antwerp.
