Dot.com es una película portuguesa dirigida por Luís Galvão Teles y escrita por Suzanne Nagle. En la producción cuenta con la participación de, además de Portugal, España, Brasil, Irlanda y Reino Unido, teniendo un presupuesto total de 2 millones de euros.

En la película se narra en tono costumbrista el litigo de una aldea portuguesa y una multinacional por un dominio de Internet. SU rodaje se llevó a cabo en Dormes debido a que era el pueblo donde residió el productor François Gonot y porque tenía el mismo número de habitantes que quería su director, 39.

Argumento
Pedro, un ingeniero destinado en una pequeña aldea portuguesa, ha creado una web a nombre de la asociación del pueblo. Un día, recibe una carta de una empresa pidiéndole la retirada de ese dominio si no quiere pagar una demanda de 500.000 euros. Cuando los habitantes se enteran del litigio, se niegan a cerrar la página, alegando que cualquier multinacional que la quiera tendrá antes que comprarla. A medida que el conflicto llega a los medios, los aldeanos irán cambiando su forma de ser y pensar.

Recepción
En Portugal, donde se estrenó el 5 de abril de 2007, recaudó 96.000 euros con 28.146 espectadores, siendo la vigésimo primera película de esta nacionalidad más vistas de las estrenadas en su país entre el 2005 y el 2010.

La película juega con la vieja rivalidad entre España y Portugal, dominando la más pequeña, que difiere de los vecinos autoritarios no quieren ser patrocinado. Pero el contraste entre el gobierno tranquila provincial y central en la bulliciosa objeto de Lisboa de la película, ya que los rasgos que supuestamente típicas de la gente común y la mentalidad portuguesa, celebrando con todas las peculiaridades y el orgullo particular, en el extremo supuestamente siempre un compromiso y una razón para lugar. Además, la película tiene sobre la cuestión del poder y del dinero y las empresas, y, finalmente, que también sirve para mostrar un paisaje idílico de la descuidada portuguesa interior del país.

Mandril, el ajuste de la película
La película está dirigida a un público amplio, que se encontraba en Portugal (en portugués de las películas más vistas desde el año 2004). La película se estrenó en muchos países diferentes en los cines, el 9 de diciembre de 2010 en Alemania. Ganó el Premio del Público en el Festival de Cine de Portugal en Coímbra, el Caminhos jue Português cine ', sino que también recibió malas críticas. En su mayoría positivos, las bellas imágenes y la historia sereno, líquido-dijo fueron llamados durante la secuencia de comandos no pudo cumplir con estándares más altos., erhielt aber auch schlechte Kritiken. Positiv wurden meist die schönen Bilder und die heitere, flüssig erzählte Geschichte genannt, während das Drehbuch keinen höheren Ansprüchen genügen konnte.
El pueblo de mandril, que sirvió de telón de fondo de la película fue conocida por el éxito de las dot.com. Producción dio las gracias al pueblo, en poder del preestreno de cine del sitio. El entonces presidente Aníbal Cavaco Silva, llegó el 24 de marzo de 2007 sobre la vista previa en el pico aislado, lo que es una placa conmemorativa en el lugar.

I could find a solution to this in the forum, so sorry if the problem is already solved.
I need to implement a hotkey-feature. The structure is already there and workes (tested with JsDOMenuBar), the only thing i fail to achive is to call the apropriate function to let the drop-down box appear on a certain keystroke.
the important thing is, it has to work in both browsers (ff, ie).
but i couldn't figure out how to pass a valid parameter e to make it all work.
all other functions (e.g. dropit()) also requiere the parameter e.
Ok, you lost me at the first character. It seems like you had a whole story before this and you cut off the first 5 paragraphs. Can you make this more comprehensible?
Neither by the way is the 'e' event model. In fact, other objects in the above may also be unsupported in IE.
But even then, the mouse will not be over the trigger, so unexpected things might happen. All in all, a custom function that triggers the menu the way that you want it to be triggered via hot key might be best. That, or a modification to the dropit:function to get it to recognise and interpret input from key stroke (document.onkeydown) events.
Still more worries, there are many browsers out there that can use this menu, not just IE and FF. Those are mentioned in the code, but in reality other browsers like Safari, Opera, etc. can use the menu. Every browser already has hot keys reserved, and these vary from browser to browser, so in the end, this whole idea might be pointless.
"All in all, a custom function that triggers the menu the way that you want it to be triggered via hot key might be best."
What i must adapt/reimplement now is the openMenu-Function which in whatever way has to open up the menu for me.
I'm sorry for beeing so dumb but might it be possible just to show me how to implement this specific function?
where menu1_id would be the quoted id of that menu's trigger?
If you need more help, please make up a mock-up of the menu and put it up live somewhere on the web and give us a link to it.


Giving birth and becoming a mother is a great personal adventure, but it is also a period in which your body and mind will undergo many emotional and physical changes. To help with these changes, Marygrace is running Hypnobirthing classes out of her Putney location in South-West London.
The sessions will assist expectant mothers to deal with a wide spectrum of conditions, such as relaxation, breathing techniques, pain management during childbirth (without relying on pharmaceuticals), taking control of the birthing experience, and learning ways of overcoming "postnatal blues".
You learn breathing techniques to help manage any discomfort.
We use various methods to alleviate fears, worries, myths, and thus reducing tension from the body.
You learn relaxation and how to deepen the relaxation through self-hypnosis, which allows you to "tune in" to your bodies natural responses.
You will feel more in control of decisions during the birth as you will be able to see things objectively and from a calm frame of mind.
There is a reduction, or absence, for the need of chemical anaesthesia, as the body is more relaxed.
Hypnosis shortens the first stage of delivery by approximately 3 – 4 hours for mother's delivering their babies. For subsequent deliveries, it is not unusual for them to be as quick as 60 - 120 minutes long.
We will help you prepare for the whole birthing experience with a positive and joyous frame of mind using visualisation techniques. This helps your mind and body prepare.
Learn how the mind and body work together and how they influence each other.
Understanding the difference between "their" experience and "your" experience, so you can focus on the pleasure of the whole pre and post delivery changes.
Address concerns about giving birth so we can change them to be positive.
Learning self-hypnosis will assist the mother to go into trance to rest and recover. Being pregnant makes women naturally susceptible to the trance state.
The skills you learn help reduce exhaustion and allows you to feel more in control of the delivery.
Relaxation helps with the production of milk.
Using the self-hypnosis decreases post natal blues and helps the body rest and recover.
Endorphins are the body's natural anaesthetics, and are far safer than man made pharmeceutical alternatives.
For more information about hypnobirthing sessions, please contact Marygrace on 07931 54 74 14 or by email on info@mghypnosis.co.uk.

What does rash this look like to you? Doctors don't know!
Yesterday morning when I was getting LO ready for pre school I noticed her legs were covered in these spots.
She didnt go to pre school but then fell asleep in the car, when she woke up they were all over her chest and back and this morning they're literally everywhere!
I'll attach pictures! Does this look like the start of chicken pox? I took her to the doctors last night and they said they weren't sure and couldn't tell me exactly what it was?

Two police officers injured in knife attack in Charleroi
The assailant who has been identified died in hospital after being shot. A man carrying a machete and shouting "Allahu Akbar" attacked two female police officers on Saturday afternoon (6 August) outside the police station in Charleroi. One policewoman was lightly wounded. The other one was seriously wounded but her life is not in danger.
A third police officer shot the assailant who later died in hospital of his wounds.
The federal prosecution announced on Sunday afternoon that the assailant has been identified. He is an Algerian, 33 years old, who has been living in Belgium since 2012. He is known to the police for criminal offences but not for terrorism.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack, according to Amaq, its propaganda tool. "The assailant at Charleroi is a soldier of the Islamic State who carried out an operation in response to calls to attack the population in the countries of the crusader coalition."
Both the mayor of Charleroi Paul Magnette and the Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel returned to Belgium after hearing about the attack.
The mayor condemned the attack and expressed his support of "all police personnel who demonstrate exemplary professionalism to ensure the security of the citizens."
The Royal Palace stated that it was deeply shocked by the violent attack. "Our thoughts are with the victims, their relatives and fellow police officers."
Prime Minister Michel is due to meet the security services on Sunday. A spokesperson of the federal persecutor said an announcement on the possible identity of the perpetrator is expected on Sunday.

Story from Entertainment
Zoë Kravitz & Karl Glusman's Wedding Was A Big Little Lies Reunion

Zoë Kravitz and Karl Glusman tied the knot on Saturday in Paris, France, and it comes as no surprise that her Big Little Lies co-stars were there to celebrate the big day.
The couple wed at Lenny Kravitz's three-story, 18th-century mansion, People reports, which features a side and back garden with French doors opening out onto it.
Guests included Kravitz's mother Lisa Bonet, Jason Momoa, Chris Pine, Annabelle Wallis, Cara Delevingne, Ashley Benson, Eddie Redmayne, Denzel Washington, and Aaron and Sam Taylor-Johnson. Not all of Kravitz's Big Little Lies co-stars were in attendance, but Laura Dern, Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman (who was once engaged to Lenny Kravitz), and Shailene Woodley were all there for the party.
Many of the guests also celebrated the nuptials with a rehearsal dinner at Restaurant Lapérhouse in Paris on Friday night. Even though Us Weekly confirmed that the couple were already legally married earlier this month, that didn't stop everyone from toasting to the newlyweds late into the night.
The couple decided to get married in France because it was where Glusman had originally intended to propose, according to People; however, not everything went to plan. Both Glusman and Kravitz have pretty intense schedules shooting Nocturnal Animals and BLL, so Glusman ended up popping the question in a more laid-back setting. "I was in sweatpants," Kravitz said to Rolling Stone in October. The couple were having a chill night in their living room. "I think I was a little drunk. I could feel his heart beating so fast – I was like, 'Baby, are you okay?' I was actually worried about him! I love that it wasn't this elaborate plan in Paris. It was at home, in sweatpants."
Kravitz and Glusman met in 2016 through mutual friends and eventually made their relationship public when they were seen looking loved-up at a Kings of Leon concert in New York City.
The couple weren't the only ones walking down the aisle this weekend. Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas wed in Paris, as well as Katharine McPhee and David Foster, who were the first to say "I do" in an intimate London affair.

This is Abhishek Bachchan's crisp reply when people compare him with Big B
On the singing reality show 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa', actor Abhishek Bachchan shares how he feels when people compare him with his father Amitabh Bachchan. He also said that he is a great actor in the industry and this is what he says to everyone making these comparisons.
Shocking! Amitabh Bachchan refuses to share money with Abhishek Bachchan
Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan shares how he feels when people compare him with his father Amitabh Bachchan on the singing reality show 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa'. He also requests contestant Rajshree Bag to sing a track 'Bahon Mein Chale Aao' featuring his mother Jaya Bachchan.
Abhishek said after looking at the performance of Rajshree, who is often compared with Lata Mangeshkar on the show, that she reminds him of being compared with his father.
"Rajshree, whenever I have got the chance to watch the show, I've seen people compare you to Lata didi. It actually reminded me about how people compare me with my father and ask me how I feel about it."
According to him Amitabh Bachchan is a great actor in the industry and this is what he says to everyone making these comparisons. "My answer to them is that there's no greater actor in this film industry than Amitabh Bachchan and if I'm being compared to him, I am sure I must have done something good."

"Similarly, your voice has a different kind of magic like Lata ji and that's why people are comparing your voice with her. I feel you should always take this as a compliment," he concluded.

Hiempsal II fut roi de Numidie dans la première moitié du , mort vers 60 av. J.-C.. Il était le fils de Gauda, et le père de Juba .

Biographie
En 88 av. J.-C., après le triomphe de Sylla, quand Marius et son fils s'enfuirent de Rome pour l'Afrique, Hiempsal les reçut avec des égards apparents alors que son intention était de les retenir prisonniers. Marius ayant découvert son projet s'échappa à temps avec l'assistance de la sœur du roi.

Hiempsal fut chassé du trône par son peuple et aussi  par son frère Hierbas II dirigeant d'une partie du royaume numide soutenu par Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus, dirigeant des partisans de Marius en Afrique. Mais, en 81 av. J.-C., Sylla envoya Pompée pour combattre le parti de Marius et il restaura Hiempsal, dont le territoire fut augmenté par un traité conclu avec Lucius Aurelius Cotta.

Lorsque le tribun de la plèbe Publius Servilius Rullus instaura ses lois agraires en 63 av. J.-C., ce territoire, originellement assigné au peuple romain par Scipion l'Africain, échappa à la vente, ce qui provoqua la colère de Cicéron (De lege agraria, I. 4, II. 22). D'après Suétone, (Caesar, 71), Hiempsal II régnait toujours 62 av. J.-C..

D'après Salluste (Jugurtha, 17), il fut l'auteur d'un ouvrage sur l'histoire de l'Afrique en langue punique.

Are there signs of pregnancy before missed period?
Missing your period is the most vital sign that you are pregnant. This is why missing your period gets you excited and anxious to know if you are actually pregnant or not. However, are you aware of the signs of pregnancy before missed period? Of course, these symptoms are not a perfect validation that you are pregnant, but, it is better to look for all of these symptoms before you decide to buy a stick pregnancy test.
increased production of blood so that the growth of our fetus can be supported by the body. This also exhausts the level of energy that you have, specifically when your body doesn't get enough nutrients like iron, minerals, vitamins and fluids. In order to help fight fatigue, you need to get a good amount of sleep. For this reason, you need to avoid products that have caffeine in it. Moreover, you should also take vitamin tablets on a daily basis.
One of the classic signs of pregnancy is morning sickness, which is more commonly known as nausea. This can easily be noticed in the early stages of the pregnancy. this starts to appear in the initial weeks of your missed period even before you have confirmed your pregnancy. you will mostly feel weak, dizzy and will want to vomit at a lot of times. You might feel nausea coming up at any time of the day. However, the morning sickness would be the worse. Three-quarters of the women go through the morning sickness however the severity of the sickness varies from mother to mother and from pregnancy to pregnancy. The condition of morning sickness might be worse if you are pregnant for the first time. However, it eventually goes away.
The hormone responsible for your nausea and morning sickness is the hormone HCG – human chorionic gonadotrophin. The levels of this hormone start to elevate in the early stages which are why you feel nauseous. In some of the women, morning sickness starts early, while in others, it doesn't start until the second month.
If you are pregnant and have faint line during the pregnancy test then most probably you will observe the signs and symptoms. You will get tires, get mood swings, craving for food, swelling or soreness in different body parts and feeling nausea.
However whatever signs or symptoms you are experiencing kindly mention every detail to your concerned doctor or you can discuss it with your experienced Facebook, Instagram as well as Twitter friends.


I think Texas teachers are wise to take advantage of these programs and I hope others are offered the same opportunity. By having several teachers with concealed carry the shooter will not know who take out and it is more likely he will be stopped. If there were just an armed guard,k that person would probably be the first one targeted before the shooter went on a killing spree. This way the shooter is not going to know where the defense is going to be coming from. It will be important that teachers keep that ambiguity. It can save the lives of more people.

With hundreds of brands on shelf all shouting for attention, it is essential your brand be seen as real, different and authentic. Your packaging design must communicate the authenticity of your brand and the product. All your efforts and investment in the product will come down to the last 4 seconds of marketing. The moment your consumer stops and picks your product off the shelf… or not!
Does your product claim "AUTHENTICITY"?
Armed with information, today's consumer is becoming astute at spotting the difference between marketing, packaging design hype and the truth. Today's consumers are suspicious of front of pack overstatements. They want to see evidence of quality. Consumers are now discerning enough to spot phony. They want authentic packaging design! They want real and are willing to travel to get it.
Authenticity is derived from the Greek: authentikos, which means "real, genuine." Something is authentic when it is what it professes to be, or what it is reputed to be. More and more consumers are being drawn to truthful products and consumer packaged goods. Your consumers have been shown to go to great lengths to find authentic, real, quality, honest to goodness products.
Labels appear to be handwritten, raw, freeform, or sketchy typography. They look like they have been designed on a shoestring budget.
Packs are created demonstrating imperfection, not precision. Natural colour palettes provide reassurance, demonstrating human involvement in product crafting.
Unrefined and amateurish brand expression using hand drawn, simple illustrations indicate the product maker is naïve to strategies of persuasion.
"Artisanal" demonstrates a combination of care in craftsmanship connoting the pride in a time-honoured craft of making something all by hand.
Vintage inspired references or type demonstrates a respect and a trust bestowed upon a brand that shows it has endured the test of time.
The only way to craft a true, authentic story matching the core values of your brand is to ensure that the product quality and shelf fulfilment is dependably consistent.

St Michael's Church is an Anglican parish church in Coxwold, North Yorkshire, England. The Parish of Coxwold is part of the Church of England's Diocese of York.

The earliest church on the site dates to the Anglo-Saxon period. That church was replaced by a Norman one built in the 11th century, and that in turn was replaced with the present church which was built by 1430. The church is in the Perpendicular style, and among its unusual features are an octagonal tower and a tongue-shaped altar rail. The church is a grade I listed building.

Q: Searching for files in Windows Server 2003 matching one of multiple words I need to search through a disk with lots of files for any documents (PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, etc.) that have a file name matching one or more of a couple hundred of words.
The built-in search tool is slow and doesn't work well with many search words. Does anyone know of a tool/program that can help?

A: Based on the  suggestion from mnmnc I made a Powershell script that seems to do the trick. It's slow, but it gives me the results I want.
$phrases = ("*Wildcard*,*separated*,*array*,*of*,*search*,*terms*")

Remove-Item .\results.txt

foreach ($p in $phrases){
    $results = @(Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path 'E:\myPath\' -Filter "$m" | where{$_.Extension -match "doc|docx|pdf|txt|xls|xlsx"} | Select-Object Fullname)

    if($results.count -ne 0){
        $m + "      " + $results.length >> ".\results.txt"
        $results >> ".\results.txt"
        "

        " >> ".\results.txt"
    }
}

This loops through the phrases and sees if there are any files of the allowed extension that match the search phrase. The results are put into an array, and if the array has any elements the phrase, number of results, and file names are printed into a text file.
That foreach loop is probably terribly expensive and I wouldn't be surprised if there were a better way of doing it, but I'm just letting this run in the background, so I don't mind it taking a while.


This feature is from awhile back, but given Laday Gaga's recently engagement to Taylor Kinney, we thought we would bring it back again. We are guessing that her wedding will be a bit more traditional, and not what we would expect from the pop-star, but in true Lady Gaga fashion we will all be surprised. Who knows, maybe she will see this features and incorporate a few of the art pop details designed by Zoie Events and Bunch Studio.
You can see all of the photos from this Lady Gaga inspired wedding here. Every last detail captured by Ashleigh Taylor Photography.
Infusing both funky and feathery, the bride's bouquet was created with protea and mini callas.
Our tablescape utilized many textures from the black lace draped over blue linens to our white leather chairs with a folded origami style blue napkin. Modern electric blue glass vases adorned with a feminine black lace band, black china, sleek utensils, and a white origami fabric runner helped to create the unique tablescape. Unconventional arrangements of anemones, kale, hydrangea, carnations, safari, veronica, privet berries and crespedia were accented with carnations to provide a ruffled layered texture and glass bubbles to provide for an out-of-this world vibe.
The modern white-laced 3 tiered cake adorned with Gaga's white lace feathered cap was the centerpiece and surrounded by a mix of bitter, sweet, sour, black, white and yellow colored desserts. The fun delights included oreos, marshmallows, meringues, mini coconut cupcakes, mini blueberry cupcakes, cupcakes, sliced lemons, lemon drops and black licorice pinwheels. The confections were served in glass and porcelain lace bowls and decorated with dessert tags utilizing Lady Gaga's song titles that describe the emotion one feels from enjoying the delightful desserts.
When we heard news about Lady Gaga's newest single being released on February 13, 2011, our hearts skipped two beats with excitement. Then we heard her describe her album Born This Way as a marriage of electronic music with major metal or rock n roll, pop, anthemic style melodies with really sledge-hammering dance beats and we KNEW that we wanted to create a Gaga wedding marrying her performance art, music and fashion styles.
Known for her eccentricities and outrageous sense of style in music and fashion, we found great excitement in challenging ourselves to push the wedding boundaries and create a Lady Gaga inspired wedding.
In creating our feminine yet bold, eccentric and dramatic wedding, we drew inspiration from Lady Gaga's fashions, music videos, and album covers, more specifically, her dress made of strategically placed bubbles, her origami crystal Thierry Mugler dress, art direction and colors from her Telephone music video, Just Dance and The Remix album covers. Incorporating a mix of unconventional bold colors, patterns and textures set the tone for our avant garde inspired wedding shoot.
We believe that your favorite artist can unlock a whole world of inspiration, unravel the lyrics, textures, colors and have fun marrying Gaga style!
Infused into the wedding elements were embellishments of lace, feathers, origami and bubbles for a funky and fun feel.
We utilized the following colors: black and white accented with the primary colors of "electric kiss" blue and taxi cab yellow.
As a prelude to the anticipated fun and eclectic, guests are invited to the wedding with a rockin' stationery suite that pulled together an ensemble of visually fun textures, patterns of lace and fishnet offset by origami shapes and geometric diamonds. Inspired by Lady Gaga's origami crystal Thierry Mugler dress, geometric diamonds and lace pattern accent the suite and serve as unifying motifs incorporated throughout the each piece. The text and lightning bolt treatment on the invitation plays on Lady Gaga's eye make-up. Guests are welcomed to the table with pop-out place cards and enticed to the evening's fare with a three-dimensional menu diamond.
The cake and dessert bar was set under a black wrought-iron gazebo in the open beauty of the downtown Los Angeles skyline. The modern white-laced 3 tiered cake adorned with Gaga's white lace feathered cap was the centerpiece and surrounded by a mix of bitter, sweet, sour, black, white and yellow colored desserts. The fun delights included oreos, marshmallows, meringues, mini coconut cupcakes, mini blueberry cupcakes, cupcakes, sliced lemons, lemon drops and black licorice pinwheels. The confections were served in glass and porcelain lace bowls and decorated with dessert tags utilizing Lady Gaga's song titles that describe the emotion one feels from enjoying the delightful desserts.
Drawing from inspirations of origami edges, textures and Lady Gaga's infamous crystal Thierry Mugler dress, our bride, Stefani, made a fearless statement in a structured single-shouldered white and black ceremony dress. The ensemble was finished with her black heart wedding ring, a paparazzi ring, gold bangles, various gold rings and electric blue nail polish and heels.
Never the predictable, for the reception, our Gaga bride wore a modern black strapless tulle gown featuring all-over lace ruffles. Her captivating look was completed with black lace gloves, a layered white, black and gold pearl necklace and various gold rings and bangles. As an alternative to the traditional veil, our Lady wore a custom-made black feathered veil. Lady Gaga always mixes it up! Thus, when its time to cut the cake, our bride changed into a handcrafted lace cap with veil, reminiscent of the wedding cake and Lady Gaga's The Remix album cover.
For our modern and edgy grooms, we dressed them in head to toe black suit and shoes. The look was decked with a studs and spikes brass wedding ring and black lace pocket square.

THE ADVENTURES OF A DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER
Carolyn Voss in Ethiopia
Multi-award-winning documentary filmmaker and editor Carolyn Voss says "I refuse to ever miss a good adventure."
And adventures she has certainly experienced: travelling to all seven continents, over 40 countries, many of them third-world countries. All for the love of documentary film.
Ethiopia Trip
One of Voss' most memorable adventures took her to Ethiopia for a month shooting a documentary on the African country. Ethiopia as a dynasty dates back to the second century B.C. It currently has a population of over 82 million. While most of its history saw monarchical rule, it now is fragile politically.
Voss, partnered with her cameraman, toured that world in a 50-year old MI-17 helicopter, shooting in cities, villages and rugged terrain. The helicopter had been built in the 1960s in Russia, spent years in Cuba, and now is in service based in Ethiopia's capital city of Addis Abbaba. Ethiopia has 38 MI-17s. Voss travelled in one of the only two now functional.
Asked to describe her MI-17 flights, she says, "Many of the wires were disconnected… the cockpit instructions were in Cyrillic… there was no radio (and no one to call if it did work)… and we had to keep the equipment off the floors as they were awash in jet fuel."
Voss describes her trip as a day-by-day challenge. There were local politicians expecting bribes (even with an authorization letter from the nation's President). At one location an angry mob hundreds strong threw spears at them. Wild boars chased them. Their helicopter broke down, leaving them stranded hundreds of miles from help.
For third-world country assignments, she usually teams with a single cameraman. That allows them to travel with a low profile, looking more like tourists and getting access to unique stories and exceptional footage. But she always hires locals to help with baggage and translating.
Her cameraman must also be expert with sound and lighting, as well as technically adept at equipment repair in the field. And be up for the adventure!
The most persistent threat for Voss in Ethiopia came in the form of sickness: high fevers, stomach illnesses, intestinal disorders. "I remember early in the trip," she says, "talking to the toilet in Gondar (a city in Ethiopia) trembling with chills and fever, and looking up at the lizards on the wall, and just wanting to go home."
As sick and discouraged as she was, she realized to her dismay, getting home would be an even greater ordeal: a 12-hour ride over treacherous mountain roads, then back in the "death-trap" helicopter, then change to a Twin Otter to fly over 15,000 foot mountain peaks with no oxygen, then a 10-hour flight to Frankfurt, another 10-hour flight to San Francisco, and finally a three-hour drive to her home.
"I've never felt so stuck and hopeless and really, really sorry for myself," she says.
With doses of Imodium and Cipro she managed to shake the worst of the sickness. By morning she was ready for the next adventure.
Voss finds that if she inventories all her afflictions when she's feeling dejected, she gains perspective. Sometimes the list gets shorter. Sometimes the process helps her realize it isn't really all that bad. And she says that in spite of her troubles, she still loves what she's doing. "And I always keep Imodium and Cipro in my pocket, and bottles of water at my side."
Facing up to these challenges, she discovers her strength. "That night in Gondar was the turning point… of being so sick and so far from home… feeling so utterly distraught… but it taught me that I actually had the stuff to carry on."
Production Teams
Voss local travel
For the average documentary project – a corporate assignment, for example – Voss will hire a full crew: two camera persons, a sound person, a lighting person. She does a lot of work for broadcast manufacturers, the ones that create HD equipment. "They still want their programs shot in SD," she says, "because they want the DVDs they send out to be viewed by everyone, and not everyone has a Blu-ray player."
When filming in another country, Voss logs all the material from each day of shooting, and incorporates it into a diary of what occurred that day. She's also the scriptwriter and editor on each project, so being the videographer on location gives her a true feeling of what a country or culture is all about.
"I'm always given a rough outline for the projects in other countries," she says. "But they always just want me to 'do my thing.'" That's the only way to go, she feels. Trying to follow a detailed outline or a predetermined shot list will cause her to miss things and end up with what she terms a very non-creative result. The shot list works for a movie, she admits, but not for documentary work. "Out in a third-world country every single day is a new adventure, a new story, a new life-changing moment, a new miracle." She believes the only way to find stories for potential projects is to be out there. "The world is full of amazing stories," she says.
In the middle of a shoot, when things go wrong, she will fight to maintain focus. "It's the only way to make sense out of chaos." She goes on to say, "If I'm in another country, I'm so thrilled about the adventure of it, anything negative looks like an opportunity." A great attitude for any filmmaker.
Voss with helicopter
Back home after each project shoot, Voss dons her editor's cap. "Every story has a theme," she says. "The theme is the way script is written; it's in the footage; it's in the music; it's in the effects; it's in the graphics; it's in the editing style." She says that if all the elements are on-theme, then it all comes together "… to make a very emotional, enlightening, memorable story like no other."
"When I'm editing," she says, "I enter another world. I just know and feel how that program needs to be. Something just flows through me, most of it totally surprising me, as if it comes from somewhere else… I think it does."
Voss runs a full service production and post-production studio, PostImpressions, based in Northern California.

This may be an easy tuna salad recipe to make, but that doesn't mean it's not DELICIOUS!
I swear by this easy tuna salad recipe. It is absolutely the best tuna salad I have ever had. You have to try it…and if I am wrong, well then, please share your favorite tuna salad recipe with me!
In the late spring and summer, tuna is a staple in our house. With the heat and humidity outside, who the heck wants to turn on the stove everyday? Not this girl. Plus, this recipe can be added to a leaf of lettuce, a croissant, with crackers, practically anything you choose to eat tuna with.
Oddly enough, I do not like seafood, except for tuna. I know. Weird. But, tuna I can deal with…..I don't know why.
Anyway, check this recipe out for yourself. You will thank me later!
In a bowl, stir together the tuna, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and onion flakes.
Then add the parsley, dill and garlic powder.
Serve on lettuce, with crackers or as a sandwich.
If you don't like tuna salad, what about an easy, spicy chicken salad recipe?
My tuna salad always tastes so plain! I will definitely try this!
It really is the best tuna ever!


Vermont House OKs money that could be used for upgrades to school security such as doors, surveillance cameras and intercoms.
MONTPELIER - The Vermont House of Representatives has approved a program that would give schools up to $25,000 each for security upgrades such as locks and surveillance cameras.
Lawmakers are prepared to spend up to $4 million on the upgrades in the coming year. State leaders expect the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to provide about $1 million in matching funds.
"We wanted to help our local communities really start working on school safety and have a coordinated approach for our schools," said Rep. Alice Emmons, D-Springfield, chairwoman of the House Committee on Corrections and Institutions.
Last month, after a Vermont teenager was arrested on suspicion of planning a school shooting, Gov. Phil Scott ordered the Vermont Department of Public Safety to oversee security assessments at each school. Those evaluations are expected to be compiled by mid-April.
Under the bill, schools could apply for up to $25,000 in grant funding to make upgrades, such as intercom systems, window coverings, doors and perimeter security measures, that are identified by the security assessments. School districts would be expected to match the grants with funds from their own budgets.
The school grant program is included in H. 923, the adjustment to the state capital construction budget. The Senate will need to consider the bill after the House gives final approval Wednesday.

A: *

*$collection->getData() will give you all the products.

*$collection->getItems() or foreach($collection as $items){...} will give you those products which have is_salable true.

*Let us check the above two points practically. I have written a custom script in which both $collection->getData() and $collection->getItems() are compared. The collection data which are not available in collection items are separated and exported in CSV. Also separated the available items in another CSV. In the CSVs, sku and is_salable values will be exported. You can compare both CSV and conclude. Please check the Git Link

*For sort order the collection, you can use setOrder(...) or addAttributeToSort(...)

A: I did face a similar issue with the Collections.
I fixed it by changing Collection to CollectionFactory.

Earlier I was using Anshu\Custom\Model\ResourceModel\CustomData\Collection in Constructor DI
To fix the issue, I switched to Anshu\Custom\Model\ResourceModel\CustomData\CollectionFactory

This may be because the Magento2 is loading the collection from the earlier loaded collection and when we use Factory, Magento2 creates a new collection object.

Antonelli v. United States
PETITIONER: Antonelli
RESPONDENT: United States
LOCATION: Denton County District Court
DOCKET NO.: 98-9933
DECIDED BY: Rehnquist Court (1986-2005)
LOWER COURT:
CITATION: 528 US 3 (1999)
DECIDED: Oct 12, 1999
Facts of the case
Pro se petitioner Michael C. Antonelli sought leave to proceed in forma pauperis in the U.S. Supreme Court under Rule 39 with respect to two petitions for certiorari. In 1993, the Court had invoked Rule 39.8 to deny Antonelli in forma pauperis status with respect to two petitions for certiorari. Before the two Rule 39.8 denials, Antonelli had filed 34 petitions for certiorari and 2 petitions for extraordinary writs. After the two Rule 39.8 denials, Antonelli filed 17 petitions for certiorari. All 55 of Antonelli's previous petitions were deemed frivolous by the Court and denied without recorded dissent.
May pro se petitioner Michael C. Antonelli be granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis under Supreme Court Rule 39?

On Tap in Fort Worth: Beers with Megan Henderson
Edward Brown
Henderson: I think diversity plays a key role in development.
If you Arts Goggled or spent a Friday on the Green in recent years, then you partook in Megan Henderson's handiwork. As director of events for Near Southside Inc., Henderson and her team work to ensure that the Near Southside is synonymous with good times and memorable events. We caught up at a bar she frequents often, Shipping and Receiving, to chat about beer and cultural diversity.
"This bar is homebase for me," she said while sipping HopFusion's Feisty Blonde. "I lived around the corner from Shipping and Receiving. It's a great spot to see my former neighbors."
Day drinking doesn't make for productive work days so Henderson usually springs for tea as her beverage of choice. Leave's bubbly tea, always on draught at HopFusion, is a nice compromise, she said.
"I have nine more years of my shuffling [my daughter] everywhere," Henderson said. "Then I can have a breakfast beer."
The Near Southside has an incredibly diverse range of craft beer offerings. What's good for beer is good for business and culture. Henderson is very mindful that a wide range of thoughts and perspectives can only come from a diverse base of customers and business owners.
"The Near Southside has seen a ton of growth," she said. "There has been this conversation about how we grow and who gets to be a part of that growth. The creative class is a massive part of that along with small-scale developers who took on risky projects here. I worry that the neighborhood will become overly white and affluent. The most amazing 2018 revelation has been that as I look at the people who are moving into the neighborhood and opening businesses they are pretty damn diverse."
So, are we talking about race, gender, age, religion, or all the above when discussing diversity?
"If you prioritize any of those over the other you miss the mark," she said. "It's not only race, it's culture, age, investment capital — the whole breadth of experience people bring."
Diversity trumps politics, she added. More than political party affiliation, Near Southside residents are tied by tenants of open mindedness and mutual respect toward others, she said. Henderson is excited to see a high percentage of women-owned businesses opening shop in her district. There are still strides to be made with regards to women of color and other demographics, she added. But the area is seeing progress on several fronts. Many of the new businesses opening on South Main Village are either Asian-, Latina-, or otherwise female-owned. Diversity is good for business, and it's healthy for the broader city, Henderson said.
"If you have six retail fronts, you're not going to put six salons side by side," she said. "As a real estate guy, you'll want a dry cleaning place, a salon, and a restaurant. I think diversity plays a key role in development. That diversity becomes a catalyst for visitors to seek out what all is in your neighborhood. That's how you turn neighborhoods into destinations."

Two Pedestrians are Dead in Separate Crashes
By Gersh Kuntzman
Two dangerous roadways — and two deaths — in two days.
Two pedestrians were killed — one in Brooklyn and one in Queens — in early morning crashes on consecutive days, police said.
The first crash — a hit and run — occurred early Thursday morning. Police say a pedestrian was in the westbound lane of 135th Avenue, a very narrow, two-way roadway in Jamaica, at around 4 a.m. when he was struck by the driver of a "dark-colored sedan" near 132nd Street.
The driver kept going. The 55-year-old pedestrian was taken to Jamaica Medical Center, where he died. Police provided no additional information, but city statistics show there were 18 crashes on just six blocks of 135th Street last year.

Almost exactly 24 hours later, a 52-year-old man was run down by the 71-year-old driver of a 2007 Honda Pilot as he tried to cross Rockaway Parkway near Skidmore Avenue in Canarsie. Police say the victim was trying to cross mid-block. The area is fraught with danger for pedestrians, thanks to a six-lane roadway that separates the city's Bay View Houses from the Parkway Shopping Center and a Key Food supermarket.
The victim was taken to Brookdale Hospital, where he died. The driver remained on the scene and was not charged.
The stretch of Rockaway Parkway (pictured below) frequently shows up in crash reports. In 2019 alone, there were 140 crashes on the half-mile stretch between Seaview Avenue and the Belt Parkway, causing injuries to one cyclist, five pedestrians and 34 motorists. A woman was killed by a driver in the same area in 2018.
Death is never far away on Rockaway Parkway. Photo: Google

We were curious: Just how many unusual food combos have Southerners dreamed up over the years? And we're not talking about your standard bacon-and-egg pairings. No, we're looking for something more innovative. More whimsical. Weird even. To get the conversation started, we consulted our Facebook Brain Trust. Here are some of the unexpected ways they mix it up at mealtime. How about you?
Please note: All sandwiches below are made with white bread. Not whole wheat, honey wheat, or cracked wheat. Not French, Italian, or pumpernickel. White bread.
Note: A handful of renegade Southerners replace the white bread on their tomato sandwiches with slices of cornbread. The rest of us keep them on our prayer lists.


In our shed at home we have a stock of tyres, bought when they were on sale. They are all Maxxis Crossmarks. That's because we live in Christchurch and in Christchurch when it rains the tracks close. This means that I don't do a lot of riding on wet tracks, maybe a splash about Bottlelake or McLeans Island, but nothing technical and certainly nothing rooty and rutty in the wet (ew eeeerr!).
Yesterday, after an evening of heavy rain, I ventured back into Redwoods to see if my legs were feeling any better after their run the previous day. I knew the tracks would be wet, but I felt hopeful that it wouldn't be too bad after a sunny morning. Being the lazy beast I am I caught the shuttle up to the drop off point on Tawa Rd and headed straight into Huckleberry Hound. It was pretty dry and I had fun hucking my way down. Then I made the Best Decision Eva and decided to go down Corners rather than Little Red Riding Huck. Cornering is one of my favourite things so I felt I couldn't go wrong with a track called Corners. It was absolutely fantastic. For Canterbury locals think Yankee Zephyr to the power of 10, without that horrid climb to get there (if you're shuttling). Corner after perfectly formed corner caught my skittish tyres and guided them safely onto the next one. The track was a little wet (as it was my first run I actually thought it was pretty wet, but was proved wrong by my later explorations of the forest). All I could think on the way down was how great this track is and how I want to ride it in the dry. If it is the only thing I ride today when I drag myself out of bed I'll be happy.
Corners conveniently drops you back at the shuttle pick up and I caught the last shuttle of the day back up to the top. I asked some Aussies who'd ridden the top tracks earlier what they were like and they assured me I'd "be fine" on them. Which was a nice compliment considering they'd never seen me ride. Spinning up to the start of Billy T my legs and lungs actually felt pretty damn good, and soon I was into the track and sliding all over the place. It was wet. I had zero traction. But it was still super fun. Sure I was going a lot slower than the previous day, but because control was tentative at best it was still thrilling. There were a few dabs and unplanned stops, but no crashes so all in all it was a success. I quickly decided that riding the tracks in the wet on Crossmarks adds 1 to the grading of the tracks.
Now I was off into unfamiliar territory and into G Rock. It was plenty wet, with large soak holes and deep wet chutes. It was in one of these chutes that I had a very minor crash where my front wheel clipped one wall of the chute and then wedged itself firmly in the opposite wall, forming a wheel dam in the chute. I gracefully tumbled onto the bank and thought I had just applied an extra layer of mud to my leg. I had forgotten about the cheese-grater nature of the Rotorua's volcanic dirt and soon the mud was leaking red. ALWAYS wear your knee high socks when riding in the wet.
Soon after this little mishap I was out of G Rock and taking the relatively straightforward Chesnut Link into Rollercoaster, riding an upper section I hadn't ridden before. All started well and then I came to a wide section that was a deadly looking rut fest to the left and what appeared to be a smooth line to the right. I rolled slowly into the right and saw that my smooth line dropped straight down before levelling out a bit. It dropped away so quickly that I couldn't bail and ended up riding down it, sure I was going to die at any second. When I safely reached the bottom I was shouting and giggling like a mad person amazed I'd escaped serious injury and stoked to have ridden something so full on in the wet.
The rest of Rollercoast was a slippy slidey mess, but I found the little pinches way easier, which pleased me greatly.
Then it was onto Old Chevy. This is a great track, lots of climbing, rewarded with fun fast descents (well they would be in the dry), choices between challenging and less challenging lines in places, and long. Very very long. Everythime I thought I was getting close to the end I'd find myself climbing back over a ridge and heading deeper into the forest again. I began to wonder if I was lost. On I pedalled, loving how well my legs were responding to this challenge and then came my second crash of the day. Down a steep and unusually rocky section into a tight wet right hander. Unfortunately there was a bloody great stone in the middle of the track and I chose the wrong side of the stone to head down, straight into a wet patch and slidey slide slide. A tiny amount more gravel rash and I was kicking myself for not taking the rocky high line, after all, I know how to ride rocks. Finally Old Chevy popped me out at the entrance to Yellow Brick Road and I couldn't resist heading into it. Mellow and windy, it had gentle climbs and descents and a back ground soundtrack from the Wizard of Oz provided by my slightly energy starved brain. Good times.
It was a great ride and restored my severely dented faith in my fitness and then to top off a great day's riding, and an awesome 7 years since my wonderful husband and I got together, we found a fantastic Mexican restaurant and I got to quench my hunger on an epic burrito, and drink delicious cocktails. The burrito was so huge that I had to share it much to my hubby's delight. And now today it is sunny. Oh yeah.
And here is the view of my monster getting a little snuggly on our return.
