Kabir Khan denies direct online release of Ranveer Singh's 83 despite OTTs offering record price
Kabir Khan's sports drama 83, starring Ranveer Singh as cricketing legend Kapil Dev, is one of the most-awaited films of the year. With its release being indefinitely postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, speculation was rife that it might come out directly on a digital platform.
Several OTT platforms have been involved in a bidding war to purchase the rights of 83 given that trade estimates the film may earn over Rs 300 crore upon its theatrical release. Kabir confirmed that the makers have been offered a whopping sum to release the film directly online but maintained that the film will see a theatrical release.
"83 is a film that has been envisioned and made to be experienced on the big screen and we are ready to wait for things to get normal and then release it in cinemas," he said.

Earlier, Reliance Entertainment Group CEO Shibashish Sarkar said that there are no plans for a direct-to-OTT release for 83. "There is no truth in this. As producers and even the director, we all are on the same page that we want to wait for theatrical release for next few months. We will first complete the film then we will wait. If six or nine months down the line, the situation becomes much worse, we will take a call at that time. There is no hurry," he said.

"Everybody has shown interest in this project but we are not engaging in any discussion for a straight-to-digital release currently. We will wait for the next four to six months before taking any further call," he added.
83 will chronicle the Indian cricket team's historic win at the 1983 World Cup. The film marks the onscreen reunion of Ranveer and his wife Deepika Padukone, who will play Kapil Dev's wife Romi Bhatia. Tahir Raj Bhasin, Saqib Saleem, Harrdy Sandhu, Boman Irani and Pankaj Tripathi will also be seen in pivotal roles.

This learn addresses the issues scrambling langauges offer for the present syntactic theories by way of examining the interplay of semantic and discourse sensible elements with syntactic houses of observe order during this kind of languages, and by means of discussing the results of this interplay for common Grammar.
Three interrelated pursuits are conscientiously during this paintings. the 1st is to research the syntactic constitution of Persian, a language which shows loose be aware order. With this research, the writer has accounted for the relative order of categorised expressions, the inducement for his or her attainable rearrangements, and the grammatical result of these reorderings. during this appreciate, a huge variety of significant syntactic phenomena, together with item shift, Case, prolonged Projection precept (EPP), binding, and scope interpretation of quantifiers, interrogative words, adverbial words, and detrimental parts are tested. This monograph is the 1st significant theoretical paintings ever released on Persian, and hence fills the present hole via delivering perception into the syntactic constitution of this language. the second one objective is to attach those insights to comparable linguistic homes in languages during which scrambling happens (e.g. German, Dutch, Hindi, Russian, jap, and Korean), and to supply a deeper figuring out of this crew of genetically different, yet typologically similar languages. the ultimate and important objective is to situate the result of this paintings in the framework of the Minimalist application (MP).
The investigations during this research point out that scrambling isn't an not obligatory rule, and that convinced ideas of MP, resembling the minimum hyperlink situation, are just probably violated in those languages. additionally, it truly is proven that cautious research of scrambling with recognize to binding and scope kin, and a reanalysis of the homes of A and A' routine, forged a few doubts at the relevance of a typology of circulation in traditional language.
This socio-linguistic research throws new mild on edition and the defining of sign up in Arabic political discourse. The learn relies on 3 dialects (Egyptian, Iraqi and Libyan) and on political speeches added by means of Gamal Abdunnasir, Saddam Hussein and Muammar Al Gadhdhafi.
This new quantity of the Language family members sequence offers an summary of the Oceanic subgroup of the Austronesian languages, unfold throughout a zone embracing jap Indonesia, Melanesia, Polynesia, and Micronesia. It offers adequate phonological and grammatical info to provide typologists and comparativists a good suggestion of the character of those languages, and of the way a lot typological type there's during this unmarried subgroup.
The Evolution of Slavic point examines the advance of the Slavic aspectual structures within the historic period. The research makes a speciality of advancements that helped create the present east-west aspectual department of the Slavic languages. It files not just how a bunch of jap languages (East Slavic, Bulgarian and to a lesser volume Polish) have replaced their platforms via thoughts in aspectual morphology and utilization, but in addition why a gaggle of western languages (Czech, Slovak, Sorbian, Slovene and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian) have mostly didn't accomplish that.

MSNBC Reverses Idiotic Decision to Fire Contributor Sam Seder Over Far-Right Smear Campaign
Clio Chang
On Monday, MSNBC decided not to renew its contract with contributor Sam Seder because of a satirical tweet about rape that he wrote in 2009. The now-deleted tweet had been unearthed and circulated by pro-Trump Online Man Mike Cernovich as part of a targeted right-wing smear campaign against Seder.
MSNBC faced huge backlash for caving into far-right trolls and cutting ties with Seder over a joke tweet that was clearly taken out of context. The Intercept's Ryan Grim, a former MSNBC contributor himself, started a petition to re-hire Seder that got over 12,000 signatures and MSNBC host Chris Hayes tweeted the following:
It turns out that MSNBC actually listened. On Thursday, The Intercept reported that Seder will be re-joining the network as a contributor. MSNBC president Phil Griffin told the site in a statement:
Sometimes you just get one wrong and that's what happened here. We made our initial decision for the right reasons — because we don't consider rape to be a funny topic to be joked about. But we've heard the feedback, and we understand the point Sam was trying to make in that tweet was actually in line with our values, even though the language was not. Sam will be welcome on our air going forward.
Of course, all of this could have been avoided if the higher-ups at MSNBC had just stopped for a second to think about the implications of their decision in the first place instead of being craven idiots.


Finally, we came to the realization that our alternatives were limited. Belinda and I did what we had to do. We quit complaining. We stopped fighting each other. Belinda started paddling again, and I paddled opposite her changing sides when she changed. We improved enough to steer in the general direction. Eventually, we began to catch up with the others. We wouldn't win a prize for our tactics, but with two strong wills, we found a way to make it work.
I must admit that I was pretty proud when we caught that last wave and coasted onto the beach. The guide grabbed the front of our kayak to steady it so we could get out. Then he peered at us with an astonished look on his face and exclaimed, In all my years I've never seen that before! You traveled the whole trip going backwards! How did you do that?
No wonder it was so hard! Evidently, we were supposed to get in the kayak facing the shore. We didn't know that. Ideally when you push off backwards the first thing you do is turn toward the waves. We got into the kayak facing the waves and launched into them. I guess we should have listened to our guide more closely! Suddenly, the struggle for the last hour and one half made a lot more sense. The entire boat is engineered to work facing the other way!
Have you experienced the feeling that life seems harder than it should be. Maybe you missed the details or someone else in your world isn't cooperating. It isn't unusual that what appears to be a rather simple and fun exercise instead turns into an unexpected ordeal.
What if you are functioning backwards? What if you think you are supposed to be leading in life and in reality you were designed to follow?
It's normal to live your life believing you were born to be in control. Isn't life all about you? It is about having what you want and the freedom to do as you please—that's what brings happiness. Right?
The problem is that it doesn't work so well in everyday life. Before long you find yourself arguing, complaining and competing with others who believe the same thing—that it is all about them. And after you've both tried harder AND threatened to quit, you eventually come to the place where you are dead in the water.
I'm not the fastest or brightest student of life or kayaking, but I've come to an astonishing discovery: I am made for more and you are too! There is a better way! Life is better when you turn around and go the direction the Guide advises. You slice through the water. Steering is easier. Your efforts are more productive. You get along with others better. You can enjoy the journey.
In this book, backward: Created to Live SENTwe discover the benefit of living life, not for selfish purposes, but as God designed. It is a life that is filled with on-purpose living. This brings great adventure and amazing satisfaction. Let's listen to the Guide and get started.


Purposeful Parenting | Dr. Justin Imel, Sr.
Parenting is a challenge, whether we have one child or five. Those of us who are parents do not need any reminders of the challenging nature of this work. I pray that we not only know parenting to be a great challenge, but I pray that we know parenting is one of the greatest blessings under the sun (Ps 127:3-5).
We understand the importance of goals. At the beginning of a new year we decide that we're going to lose weight, pay off the credit cards, try to be a better person, or a whole myriad of other goals. But, in my mind, the real question centers not on the importance of goals but whether or not the goals are important. How much is my weight really going to matter to God when I stand before Him in judgment? How much is it going to matter how much money I have in the bank account? How much is it going to matter whether or not I was a "better person," based on how the world might define "better person"?
The Bible teaches goals are important. "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it" (1 Cor 9:24). "I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (Phil 3:14).
Think of the individuals in biblical narratives who had goals and were thus able to accomplish those goals.
"By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith" (Heb 11:7). We know that Noah likely worked on the ark nearly one hundred years. We know for a fact from the time God determined to destroy the world and the time of the Flood one hundred and twenty years passed (Gen 6:3). Had Noah not set out to build the ark in that 120 year time span, he and his family would not have survived the Great Flood. Why did Noah and his family survive the Great Flood? Precisely because Noah had a goal to build that ark and he did so.
When Simon found Jesus after the Lord had spent a night in prayer, Jesus said, "Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth" (Mk 1:38). "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" (Matt 20:28). Jesus allowed nothing to remove His singular dedication to that goal, did He? Not the temptations of Satan, not the doubting of the apostles, not the ridicule of the Jewish hierarchy, not the threat of death.
What goal do we need as parents? It seems to me that the Bible teaches there's only one thing which really matters in our family life. "These words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise" (Deut 6:6-7). "Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it" (Prov 22:6). "Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol" (Prov 23:13-14); The discipline here is not punitive, but it's a form of instruction–the point of discipline is to save our children from death. I'm convinced "die" here means "be lost." Proverbs 23 doesn't mean that you can't spank too hard, but it means that through spanking, we are saving the souls of our children.
Is our goal to raise our children to be faithful Christians? Are we more concerned with teaching our children manners or teaching them right and wrong? Are we more concerned that our children get their homework done so that they can get into a nice college or are we more concerned that they know the Scriptures so that they can get into heaven? What goal do we have as parents?
It's important for parents to sacrifice of themselves in order to obtain the goal. Goals aren't going to work unless we are willing to sacrifice. If we decide that we're going to lose weight but we never sacrifice what we eat and never sacrifice time to exercise, we won't achieve our goal. If we decide we're going to control our temper and we never sacrifice the urge to lash out, we won't achieve our goal.
Scripture teaches us to be willing to sacrifice in order to serve others. It is extremely important in our families that we serve one another. We often talk about Christian service, and I fear that we don't often apply this to family life.
Jesus taught his disciples to serve (Mk 10:42-45). "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet" (Jn 13:14).
Do we ever think of serving our children like that? Do we think of giving up our interests and hobbies in order to help our children in what's supremely important? Are we willing, for example, to give up watching the ballgame in order to teach our children what's right and wrong? Are we willing to do what we can so that we can be cheering at the ballgame when our child is up to bat?
We have a wonderful example of Mary. Mary was minding her own business, preparing to marry Joseph when the angel Gabriel appeared and told her that she would bear a Son (Lk 1:30-33). Mary accepted the word of God and said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word" (Lk 1:38). Mary was willing to sacrifice of herself to become a mother. Are we willing to sacrifice of ourselves as parents?
Scripture teaches us to be persistent. "Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God" (Acts 13:43). "Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart" (Gal 6:9). "We also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us" (Heb 12:1).
Are we going to be persistent in our parenting? When one of our children breaks a rule, are we going to follow through on the promised punishment, or will we change the punishment to make it more palatable? Will we continue to teach our children right and wrong, or will we stop because teaching right and wrong takes up too much time? Just how persistent are we going to be?
A few years ago I read about a family who are members of the church out in California. They had a son who really acted out–in fact, he acted out so much that he ended up in prison. When the time for his release drew near, his father met with the preacher to discuss how he and his wife should handle the son's return. The father told his preacher, "This time, I'm really going to lay down the law and tighten up the rules." But the preacher's response surprised him, "I know a guy in the Bible whose son messed up bad, and when he returned home, the father gave him a party," referring, of course, to the Parable of the Prodigal Son.
The parents began to rethink their response to the son's return. When the son came home, he saw lots of cars in front of his house. There was something big going on–a party! And come to find out, it was for him–complete with cake, candles, his relatives, and a big banner that said, "Welcome home, son!" Today that family is in church every Sunday. The son sits with his parents, and he has his arm around his mother.
That's persistence! That's not giving up! Will we be persistent in raising our children?
May we all be purposeful parents!

DARK LUNACY – The Day Of Victory

There is much to be said about the latest Dark Lunacy album, and it is not easy to put the ideas together. We have been waiting for Mike Lunacy and the others after their previous effort "Weaver Of Forgotten" (2010) that, I must say, didn't really impress me. After having listened to "The Day Of Victory", that work feels even more like an album of transition, embodying the passage to a new line-up and a way for Mike of proving that he was still standing and able to go on.
In 2014, after four studio albums and a live show in Mexico City, Dark Lunacy didn't have to prove their worth to anyone anymore, and perhaps the pressure got a bit lighter as well. At that point, they could go back to treating one of their favorite topics, World War II as seen from the Soviet Union front; this topic was already the core theme of the monumental and amazing "The Diarist", focused on the diary of a woman who had experienced the siege of Leningrad. The eight tracks, plus intro and outro, of this record accompany the movements of the Red Army towards Berlin ("Red Blocks") up to the signature of the German Surrender on May 9 1945 ("Victory"). Exactly in the middle of the album we can listen to a track dedicated to the Decabrists and to the poems that Puskin wrote for them in 1825 ("The Decembrists"). In short, this is a conceptually imposing and "important" work, perhaps even more so than the aforementioned "The Diarist".
Musically speaking, "The Day Of Victory" is a HUGE step forward from their previous works: the band from the Po Valley had never managed to put melodeath sounds together with strings, keyboards and symphonic elements in such a successful manner. Each single aspect of their sound seems to have a life of its own and feels as a part of a perfectly structured whole. Mike's voice, Daniele Galassi's guitars (the only person in charge this time, as Claudio Cinquegrana didn't take part to the recording of this album), plus everything else, drums, keyboards, violin, accordion, female vocals, and an array of special guests; the amount and quality of the effort put into this work is of absolute value. Things get started with a devastating opener ("Red Blocks"), then we have the slower epic ("Ages Of Decay"), classical guitar arpeggioes ("The Mystic Rail"), but there is especially a clever use or actual recordings of Russian military chants, fitting perfectly into the quartet's performance. The melodic atmospheres and the strings are, as usual, a trademark in the band's universe, but this time they don't force the songs in a perpetual mid-tempo as it happened on "Weaver Of Forgotten"; in fact, in this album the strings work as a perfect counterpart to the (melodic) death metal parts, following in the steps of the Dark Lunacy tradition from the first three chapters of their history.
As soon as the album starts with the shouted "Fire!" that opens "Red Blocks", it is clear that the band is dealing with a complex album, that gets better and better with each listen thanks to its structure. This is one of those works that has to be enjoyed as a whole and not through individual tracks, a well-written record featuring a powerful expressivity that unfolds time after time. In conclusion, "The Day Of Victory" is the nth tangible demonstration of maturity by one the best Italian bands. Welcome back, Dark Lunacy.

The City of Angels is famous for its movie stars, its balmy climate and its sports teams. One of the most recognizable cities in the world, it draws visitors from around the world. With so many areas of success, it is only natural that making a move towards becoming a startup hub is the next frontier Los Angeles seeks to conquer.
Los Angeles is in close proximity to the number one startup hub in the world: Silicon Valley. In recent years, however, a rising number of entrepreneurs have chosen Los Angeles over its famous neighbor. To find out why, we'll explore 1) the location, 2) the tax incentives, 3) legal incentives, 4) investors, 5) local resources, 6) specialization of the area, and 7) startups to watch.
The city of Los Angeles (LA) is located in southern California and is the second highest populated city in the United States, trailing only New York City. Ethnically, it is one of the most diverse areas in the US, drawing residents from over 140 countries including the Philippines, Korea, and Mexico. The rich diversity of the city lends itself to becoming a startup hub that welcomes entrepreneurs from all over the world; no matter where the entrepreneur is from there will most likely be an established community in LA to make settling in easier.
This diverse city can also be a benefit for entrepreneurs who want to engage with customers (and potential customers) from around the world. Selecting a city that already has an established network and a thriving cultural interchange can help to springboard ideas into reality as a product is field tested within the marketplace.
A coastal city, LA offers residents the warmth of a subtropical climate. Mild winters and predominantly sunshine filled days attract visitors and residents. The 'livability' of LA offers much to draw entrepreneurs who are relocating. Geographically, Los Angeles is situated within easy reach of most major cities in the world. The convenience of living in a city that is already a thriving metropolis simply adds to the allure of the city for the entrepreneur.
As one of the most populated cities in the US, LA has an extensive network of transportation options. An exhaustive network of freeways and roads connects the city to other major cities on the California coastline. However, the sheer magnitude of the number of people living in the city virtually guarantees that the roadways are in a constant state of gridlock. Interestingly enough, however, the average commuter on an LA freeway spends less time on the way to work than their counterparts in New York City or Chicago. Finding alternative means of transportation is essential for anyone who tries to navigate through the LA road system.
Fortunately, there are viable alternatives; mainly in the form of public transportation. Subways and rail cars crisscross the city, offering easy access to the major points of the city's landscape. The third busiest commercial airport in the world (LAX) is another means of accessing the world outside Los Angeles. In addition there are other, smaller airports scattered nearby that provides additional opportunities for air travel. A port city, LA boasts one of the largest cruise ship centers in the world, along with an extremely busy container port. Entrepreneurs working in LA can take advantage of the close proximity to travel options and the available means to connect with investors who may be looking for a company to invest with.
Selecting Los Angeles as a startup city provides the entrepreneur with an established network of resources that many cities lack. Banking, legal resources, technology, affordable housing and living necessities are all readily available in the City of Angels – making it an easy choice when looking for a city to set up shop.
One of the downfalls of the Los Angeles area as a startup hub is the lack of viable tax incentives. Recent mayor candidates proposed changes to add tax incentives as a way to discourage the 'brain drain' that seems to be happening after college graduation. Los Angeles is home to an extensive number of universities and colleges. Adding programs that would allow for students to remain in the city post-graduation would encourage workers to become innovators.
Studies have indicated that graduates of LA colleges and universities return to their original home after graduation. This brain drain could be eliminated by offering some form of incentive to the graduate to extend their stay and work. Applying their innovation and classy right The addition of well-educated innovators can increase the entrepreneurial spirit of the city, and help to encourage other college graduates to consider careers in innovation.
A lack of a tech corridor in the city is another area that should be easy to remedy. Adding city-owned properties allows for companies to be centrally located. This neighborhood feel to innovation hubs allow the entrepreneurs to encourage each other, to help each other as needed and provide support along the way.
The lack of a central innovation center, coupled with a low tax incentive program seems to be to areas where LA is weakest. The last several elections have brought out the candidates who have offered solutions to the city's entrepreneurial problems. Finding the solutions may be bigger than one politician can work out, but gradual changes that can be implemented over time may be the best approach. Instead of trying to implement everything they've been doing at one time, adding small incremental changes will begin to snowball overtime.
Finding ways to add tax incentives, whether through specially designated hub zone areas or through tax credits for entrepreneurship, should be a major item on the city's "To-Do" list.
Similarly, the startup scene needs to have legal incentives to setup in the Los Angeles area. Navigating the legal requirements needed to establish a startup is not difficult. However, the tax and legal codes may sometimes be confusing. It is advisable, then, that the entrepreneur hires legal counsel that is proficient in startups. Ensuring that the proper paperwork has been filed will allow the entrepreneur to focus on running their company, without worrying about corporate filings and other details.
The process of establishing a company in LA is relatively streamlined, and can typically be handled by either a legal or accounting professional. Small business advisors can assist the entrepreneur with the necessary requirements as well.
With a huge amount of talent and resources, it seems odd that there is a lack of funding available for entrepreneurs. Home to over 2,000 startups, Los Angeles is bursting with innovation, and very little venture capital. The entertainment industry is hesitant to invest its money into technology, and the mix of the music industry and technology often ends poorly (see: Napster and Bittorrent). Finding a way to increase the number of investors and venture capitalists who can see beyond the glitz of Tinsel Town and spot the tech hub must be one of LA's top priorities.
The lack of local investors in startups can be addressed by increasing awareness of startups and their needs. The bigger hurdle is to convince investors to turn their attention to the tech world. According to one study, the average startup investment ranges from $25,000 to $30 million. In Los Angeles, however, the average investment is $4 million dollars.
LA is beginning to establish incubators and accelerators that offer support and resources to the fledgling startup players. With experienced innovators, the entrepreneurs are being coached and mentored by people who have working knowledge of the startup world. This offers great promise for the subsequent success of startups that are following in their footsteps. The global startup community is ever shrinking – investors are coming from around the world to be a part of the new work that is being done in Los Angeles. With the increased attention, entrepreneurs have the opportunity to make connections with investors and potential customers. There is already a high level of excitement in the city of Los Angeles – adding entrepreneurship simply enhances the already bustling city.
Los Angeles is often referred to as the 'creative capital of the world'. Estimates claim that one out of every six residents work in some form of a creative industry. Whether that industry be film, or music, or sports, the cultural climate of LA is teeming with creativity. Home to the motion picture industry's headquarters, Hollywood, LA is considered to be the motion picture epicenter of the world. With such a variety of creative activity, it is no wonder that experts claim LA to be one of the world's favorite places to go.
One of the indicators of an entrepreneurial startup hub is the existence of a rich cultural life. There is a direct correlation between creative thought and entrepreneurship. In this regard, then, Los Angeles is a prime location for startups. With such a varied creative culture in the city, there is much to use as inspiration and motivation.
More museums per capita in the world are tucked in the streets of LA (841 of them) – offering visitors a chance to peruse art galleries, contemporary art and traditional art museums. The city has an extensive number of performing arts centers, the Los Angeles Music Center and other venues for enjoying your favorite form of relaxation.
Comparatively speaking, LA is an affordable place to live. With low housing costs and an established and reliable infrastructure, the city has a head start over other entrepreneurial hubs. However, encouraging tech developers to move to the film capital of the world may require more than a low rent.
Using the thriving movie industry as an enticement is another means of using local resources wisely. With the entertainment industry centered on the city of Los Angeles, that can be used to an advantage for the movie buff or digital media expert who loves to be in the middle of the excitement.
Surprisingly, in spite of the movie-focused intent of the city, media technology is not the main specialization of its startups. Mobile services and engineering are leading the way as the two primary specializations of the area. Following a close third is the entrepreneurial entertainment industry.
The entertainment industry in Los Angeles is thriving, and the entrepreneurial startup community is racing to catch up. Finding innovative ways to maximize entertainment and technology is a strategic advantage that entrepreneurs in LA have over other startup cities.
Services such as multi-channel networks are a prime example of this intersection. The next generation of cable networks, MCNs allow YouTube channels to increase content promotion, add monetization or manage the network.
Tech staffers in the LA area are highly skilled, in many ways, even more so than the techies of Silicon Valley. The LA entrepreneur has established skills as an engineer with a focus on communication, music, cinema and more. This combination allows the entrepreneur to develop solutions and connections to such industries as technology and gaming, fashion and video. By seeking new and innovative combinations, the LA startup market is always rich with new ideas and solutions.
The viable business climate of LA has successfully attracted technologies and other venture capital interests. With a reliable internet infrastructure, companies can depend on the internet to power media and technology needs. The entrepreneurial climate of LA is welcoming to startups at every level; some have begun and failed miserably.
This was the case with MySpace, one of LA's most famous startups. MySpace's takeover and rebirth as a leaner program gave techies experience in the entrepreneurial world, as well as a nest egg that they used to springboard into new companies. The entrepreneurs took their skills, along with their newfound wisdom on how to establish a successful company and springboarded them into a series of other, equally as successful companies. A few of their second time around success stories? Snapchat – an instant messaging service that fades messages away after a few seconds and Gradient X – it sold to a Singapore firm just a month after its beta launch.
DogVacay: An online community for dog lovers and owners, it matches up owners with available pet sitters in the local area. With options for in-home or out of home care, it lets pet owners select exactly the amount of care they want for their beloved pet.
Tradesy: Using the mantra "Shop your Own Closet', Tradesy capitalizes on the inherent packrat tendencies that many people have. Allowing users to trade items that they may have and no longer want or need, Tradesy helps keep items out of closets (and landfills).
Dollar Shave Club: An 'awesome' razor club, Dollar Shave Club delivers razors straight to the subscriber's mailbox. With one handle and four razors each month, each kit delivers exactly what is needed.
Zefr: A startup that uses YouTube, Zefr offers legalized sports, TV, or movie clips for users to upload to their website. A powerful form of advertising that is just now being maximized to its full capabilities.
ChowNow: An online customer management platform for restaurants. Through online marketing and resources, ChowNow is a full service management plan and ordering platform for eating establishments.
With the variety of industries that already exist in LA, it makes sense that they would next turn their attention to entrepreneurial efforts. Harnessing the talent and energy that is used in the media platforms, they have the resources needed to become a powerhouse in the startup world in a short amount of time. Innovators have the opportunity to develop new forms of entertainment technology, as well as business tools that can have applications in a variety of fields. The eyes of the world are already on Los Angeles, giving the global community a front row seat for the innovations being developed there.

Leadership in Action: Abdul Sattar Edhi
Kabir Altaf, APF Communications Associate| August 11, 2016
The American Pakistan Foundation celebrates the life of Abdul Sattar Edhi, a Pakistani humanitarian who passed away last month at the age of 88. Known as Pakistan's "Angel of Mercy", Maulana Edhi was the founder and head of the Edhi Foundation and ran the organization for over sixty years. The foundation is Pakistan's largest welfare organization and runs almost entirely on private donations.
Edhi was born on January 1, 1928 in Gujarat, British India. His interest in social service began early when his mother would give him money to buy meals for himself as well as for a local beggar. When Edhi was eleven years old, his mother suffered a stroke that led to paralysis. She passed away when Edhi was nineteen. Edhi's experiences caring for his mother during her illness led to his subsequent interest in developing systems to provide services for the elderly and the sick. After Partition in 1947, Edhi and his family migrated to Karachi—the capital of the newly established Pakistan. Edhi initially found work as a peddler and later became a commission agent selling cloth in Karachi's wholesale market. A few years later, he established a free dispensary with help from the local community. As he recounted to NPR in a 2009 interview: "I saw people lying on the pavement… the flu had spread in Karachi and there was no one to treat them. So I set up benches and got medical students to volunteer. I was penniless and begged for donations on the street. And people gave. I bought this eight-by-eight room to start my work."
This dispensary eventually grew into the Edhi Foundation. The generosity of the Pakistani people allowed Edhi to expand his work by rescuing 20,000 abandoned infants, rehabilitating 50,000 orphans, and training 40,000 nurses. Edhi Foundation run welfares centers are present all over Pakistan and provide services for abandoned women and children. Edhi served humanity without regard to identity or background. He once stated, "So many people come to me. I don't ask them about their religion. I consider them human beings."
Most notably, the Edhi Foundation operates the world's largest ambulance program that regularly comes rushing into scenes of chaos. The foundation also provides operates internationally and provides humanitarian assistance when disaster strikes. For example, the foundation provided assistance when Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast of the United States.
Edhi has been awarded both Pakistani as well as international awards and was nominated several times for the Nobel Prize. He became the only Pakistani without state authority to receive a State funeral. His funeral prayers were held at National Stadium in Karachi and attended by high-ranking officials of the Government of Pakistan as well as the Pakistani military. Edhi is survived by his wife of more than five decades, Bilquis, as well as by his four children, Kubra, Faisal, Ilamas and Kutub.

Colchester custody incident: Four Essex Police officers cleared of misconduct after detainee's fingers severed
He lost the tips of three of his fingers on his left hand
Lottie O'NeillMultimedia Journalist
They have been cleared of any wrongdoing
Four Essex Police officers have been cleared at a misconduct hearing following an investigation into the incident where a man lost three fingertips.
The detainee had the tips of his fingers severed from his left hand following the incident inside his cell.
On May 1, 2015, the man - aged in his 30s - was under arrest and in a cell in Colchester police station.
Officers were trying to get him to remove his foot from the cell toilet when they used a baton as well as fist strikes. Handcuffs were also applied to the man.
A referral to the Independent Police Complains Commission (IPCC), now the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), was made by Essex Police following the detainee's injuries. An investigation was conducted which found cases to answer for five officers.

Essex Police say that in response to his injuries, they took immediate action and replaced 60 toilets in cell blocks of a similar design to the one involved across the county, totalling a cost of £69,000.
The hearing, which began on May 7 this year, heard how the officers knew the arrested man had mental health difficulties and that the Romanian national spoke little English.
The panel sat at Chelmsford Civic Centre and found four officers had not breached the Standards of Professional Behaviour regarding their use of force, duties and responsibilities, equality and diversity, when dealing with the detainee.

However, former Inspector Chris Tyler who has since retired, was found to have breached a further three Standards of Professional Behaviour in relation to a linked matter.
Had he not been retired from the force, he would have received a final warning, found the panel. He was suspended during the independent investigation.
Sergeant Marcus Buckley, and three police constable; Joseph Hawthorne, Nicholas Pulham and Richard Philipsen were all cleared of any wrongdoing.
The panel was chaired by legally qualified John Bassett.

Assistant chief constable Andy Prophet, said: "Firstly I would like say how sorry I am that this man was injured while in an Essex Police custody suite.
"This misconduct hearing has been the culmination of a long and complex investigation conducted independently by the IOPC formerly known as the IPCC.
"It is disappointing for all concerned that this case has taken so long to reach a conclusion.
"Essex Police continues to work with all frontline officers and staff to ensure training for dealing with often difficult situations in the custody environment is thorough, effective and in line with national best practice.
"I am pleased to highlight that the force has been subject to positive comment from HMICFRS (our independent inspectorate) about the quality of care provided for individuals in our custody suites."

Is Job Security A Thing Of The Past?
Remember growing up and being told that if you go to school, get a "job" and work hard, you'd be successful?
Well, how is that working out for you?
Some people might say "fine" ... but it just "fine" good enough? Do you really LOVE what you do? If so, more power to you, but most wouldn't say that.
You see, in these current volatile times, times of economic downturn and skittish world markets, Job Security is a thing of the past. The world is changing at a fast pace. And, as technology improves, most companies are becoming more and more automated ... and you know what that means ... employees are no longer needed to do the jobs that machines can do. A sign of the changing times.
Well, it should because the truth is, that you can no longer rely on someone else for a "secure" future. Look at Banking ... just go to the ATM, right? No teller needed ... heck, you can even scan a check on your cell phone and make a deposit right from your own home, car, park or wherever ... no physical bank needed! Even grocery stores are adding more and more "self-serve" lines. If you're old enough to remember, we used to have someone pump our gas!

We have all been in this hobby long enough to know the terms "SURVIVOR" "ORIGINAL" "UNRESTORED" and "NUMBERS MATCHING" are misrepresented every day on cars listed for sale on the Internet and even at major auctions. Sometimes because owners/sellers truly don't understand the meaning, other times because the car is a variation of some of those words. Subjectivity plays in their use of the word and sadly... Sometimes people flat out lie.
The 67 SS Chevelle I'm selling today is not a variation nor a subjective expression, it's one that I'm 110% confident meets the requirements of those terms in the purest form of the meaning. I'd stake my reputation on it!! That being said, cars like this are not for the timid, not for those who believe fully restored cars are the only ones that bring big money, not for the casual Chevelle Enthusiast / Owner nor even the biggest car collector. This car is for the person who truly understands and appreciates what an unrestored car means, a SURVIVOR in its most raw meaning. There are lots of SURVIVOR Chevelles out there, some that meet the criteria to get that title but often they are in rough condition, having seen better days as we say. This can include checkered paint, worn interior, some bumps and bruises throughout the car (PATINA), other times they have very high mileage or they have been "Fluffed" to look better, paint blending, engine touch up, rattle can black underneath... But it survived!! While they are still technically unrestored survivors that change hands by collectors who only want those type cars, this 67 is in a whole different category of Survivor!
I have had the opportunity to sell several SURVIVOR 66/67 SS Chevelles over the years, even a 70 SS 396 that many believe was the BEST example of a true very low mileage, unrestored survivor out there and a price tag that made many shiver a bit! The 67 SS I am presenting today is without a doubt the BEST example of an Untouched and Unmolested 67 SS Chevelle in the country, and for reasons I'll explain shortly.
It is a 3 owner 12,000 mile car!! HEAVILY Documented car with BUILD SHEET, Protecto Plate, Invoice, Original GM congratulations on ownership letter, etc etc. The paint is as nice as the day it left the assembly plant, no kidding. An interior that looks like it just left the dealer showroom, unreal! A completely original numbers matching drivetrain that has never been apart and it runs and drives like a brand new car. It's a Treasure and you will not find another like it anywhere in my opinion.
The order was placed in February 1967 and delivered March 31st, 1967. The first owner didn't ask for much: The paint would be Mountain Green, a Black Bench Seat interior, 396/325hp with a rarely seen "3" speed Manual Transmission and a 3.08:1 open rear. An Am radio and just the standard SS Full Wheel Covers over what was originally your basic white wall tires. Options?? Power Steering, that's about it... Bare bones. It remained with its original owner until his death in 1992 when the family sold it. Owner number 2 purchased it and it remained local but unseen and mostly under-wraps, kept in dry storage until 2000 when this rarely seen gem was again quietly listed for sale and my friend was there to buy it in a heartbeat!!
What he purchased was a 67 SS that is nothing short of spectacular. The paint has not a bit of checking, it's as if it was just painted but it's all original. There's no dings, no dents, no rust!!! The interior is MINT, another overused word that I'm willing to use with confidence! The original white wall tires and wheels and standard wheel covers are wrapped and still with the car. For now, NOS Simulated Mag Wheel Covers over a set of Coker Redline Bias Ply tires are on the car mainly because he just loves the look, and I agree. This 67 drives like a brand new car!! You have the opportunity to own something nobody else has and few have the chance to purchase.
If you have any interest, I'm happy to speak with you about it as long as you realize this is not an ordinary Survivor 67 SS.

Nick Kyrgios lets rip at 'sore loser' Rafa Nadal and 'sick' Novak Djokovic
Australian also called Toni Nadal an 'idiot' and labelled Andy Murray's record against Djokovic 'embarrassing'
By Joe Shread
Last Updated: 16/05/19 8:21am
Nick Kyrgios has a reputation for not holding back with his controversial opinions
Nick Kyrgios has lashed out at Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic, who he accused of having a "sick obsession" with being liked.
The world No 36 also took aim at Nadal's uncle Toni, branding him an "idiot" and, while he was positive about Andy Murray, he described the Brit's record against Djokovic - 11 wins to 25 losses - as "embarrassing".
Kyrgios was speaking on the 'No Challenges Remaining' tennis podcast, and made no effort to filter his views on some of the players he regularly competes against on tour.
Discussing Nadal, the 17-time Grand Slam winner, Krygios accused him of "lacking respect" and being "super salty", before saying: "When he wins, it's fine. He won't say anything bad, he'll credit the opponent.
Kyrgios said Rafa Nadal was 'super salty' whenever he was beaten on court
"He was a great player. But as soon as I beat him, it's just like he has no respect for me, my fans and no respect to the game. It's not a good look for you, I feel.
"And then uncle Toni came out saying, 'He lacks education'. I'm like, 'Bra [brother], I did 12 years at school, you idiot. I'm very educated. I understand that you're upset I beat your family again."
While he described Djokovic as an "unbelievable player" and a "champion of the sport", Kyrgios went on to say: "I just feel like he has a sick obsession with wanting to be liked. He just wants to be like Roger (Federer).
"For me personally - I don't care right now, I've come this far - I feel like he just wants to be liked so much that I just can't stand him.
"This whole celebration thing that he does after matches, it's like so cringeworthy. It's very cringeworthy."
Kyrgios accused world No 1 Novak Djokovic of wanting to be liked as much as Roger Federer
Kyrgios also called Fernando Verdasco, the 35-year-old Spaniard, the "most arrogant person ever", before taking aim at spectators who heckle him during matches.
Sharapova pulls out of French Open
Serena's Roland Garros hopes in doubt
"These guys show me no respect. None. So why would I show you respect?" complained Kyrgios. "For instance, when I'm taking matches, I don't care that you paid for tickets. You guys treat me like **** anyway."
Kyrgios is in action on Thursday when he takes on Norwegian Casper Ruud in the second round of the Rome Masters, before beginning his latest attempt to progress beyond the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time at the French Open later this month.

Nemeth-Kellner Lymphoma Is a Valid Experimental Model in Testing Chemical Agents for Anti-Lymphoproliferative Activity*

Scheme of detection and investigation of antitumor activity of chemical substances by use of experimental murine Nemeth-Kellner lymphoma (NK/Ly) are described. It includes monitoring of growth of NK/Ly ascites by everyday weighting of animals in course of intraperitoneal application of tested substance in 24 or 48 hours after inoculation of 107 tumor cells. The inhibitory effect became distinct on the 6th-8th day of experiment, and 3 types of response were observed: 1) complete suppression of ascites development, corresponding to high antitumor activity of tested substance; 2) partial suppression of ascites growth (weak antitumor activity); 3) insignificant effect on ascites growth (lack of activity, at least towards hematoblastoses). As compared with leukemia L1210 or P388 lymphoma NK/Ly provides more distinct daily increment of body weight due to tumor growth. Clinical pattern of tumor development was supported by cytomorphological investigations of tumor cells which included: 1) cells count in ascites; 2) measuring cell dimensions and ratio of enlarged cells in a population (diameter over 17 μm in case of NK/Ly); 3) quantitative evaluation of tumor cells damage by smears count after staining with azure-eosin, bromophenol blue and hematoxylin. In case of complete suppression of ascites growth the cytological investigation was conducted by delayed application of tested agent to animals with the developed ascites. After treatment with vinblastine or doxorubicin NK/Ly cells represent a convenient object for fractionation of cell population, as demonstrated by separation of giant and small tumor cell subpopulations.

AMD GPU users who aren't using crossfire, have slightly better performance with the old 14.12 drivers, than any of the more recent drivers.
Interesting statement, so that leak of the 15.5 beta was deliberate to test the response, and they've gone back to the drawing board:) as it was awful! Unless they get to within 5% of the Nvidia performance I for one will be giving up on AMD and selling my 290x to get a second 970.


Doctor Lee continues to push the surgical envelope. He has integrated the use of in-office cone beam (CBCT) scans with 3D software and the iTero intraoral optical laser scanner. During the surgical and prosthetic (fabrication of teeth) phases of treatment, Dr. Lee is able to "scan" the patient's jaws and teeth to obtain replicas of them that will be used in both the surgery and prosthetic phases of treatment. Therefore, the use of traditional messy putty type impressions that can cause the patient to gag is avoided.
This leading edge technology has permitted Dr. Lee to increase the surgical and prosthetic accuracy of treatment. With this digital technology, Dr. Lee is able to assist the general dentist in the fabrication of the patient's teeth during reconstructive jaws surgery and dental implant treatment.

Góra Szlagowa (1012 m), Szlagowa – szczyt w południowo-wschodnim grzbiecie Gorca w Gorcach. W kolejności od północy na południe znajdują się w nim szczyty: Mraźnica (1163 m), Góra Szlagowa (ok. 1010 m), Czertys (968 m) i Góra Szczylowska (937 m). Grzbiet ten, zwany Strzelowskim opada do doliny rzeki Ochotnicy, oddzielając doliny dwóch jej dopływów: Potoku Gorcowego i Młynnego.

Górę Szlagową porasta las, ale na jej stokach znajduje się dużo trawiastych obszarów – to pozostałości dawnych hal pasterskich. Nie prowadzi tędy żaden znakowany szlak turystyczny, ale całym grzbietem Strzelowskiego prowadzi z Ochotnicy Dolnej na halę Gorc Młynieński terenowa droga. Szczyt Szlagowej omija po północno-wschodniej stronie.

Góra Szlagowa znajduje się w granicach wsi Ochotnica Dolna w województwie małopolskim, w powiecie nowotarskim, w gminie Ochotnica Dolna.

The Scofflaws @ The Chance, Poughkeepsie, NY
Live Reviews | By Matt Kremkau on Jul 17th, 1997
Opening Bands: Edna's Goldfish, Sgt. Scagnetti, Lounge
Venue: The Chance Poughkeepsie NY
Hello again with yet another concert review! Is it just me or are we addictive? Aww well I guess good music can do that to you. Anyways, We saw The Scofflaws finally. I can't believe I waited this long to see them. They were awesome. Ok, back to the beginning of the show. Oh yeah, it's at The Chance in Poughkeepsie, if anyone is wondering. So Exit 7 started off. I guess they call them Ska and among other things but they weren't. Just because they have a horn section doesn't make them a ska band. They had this singer who thought he was a rap star but wasn't that good. Plus he sang too close to the mike.
Next up was Sgt. Scagnetti. They always put on a good show and started of with a "Intro" and then went into "Sideshow." They got the unsually small crowd into it. I guess the crowd was small because Fugazi played there the night before. Well, they continued by playing "Dirt Bike Kid." Followed by others like "Necromance," "Family Fun Four Pack," and "Hellspawn." Steve from Sgt. Scagnetti, during one of the songs, came out and threw a cup of water on Bryan. I started cracking up laughing.
Next up, Lounge. They were a surprise because they weren't originally on the bill. But how can I be surprised, they play there everday at the chance with cooter. They were good. They are maybe the only orange county punk band I can tolerate. During the set, all these wanna be homey g's were moshing and being real dicks about it too. They kept picking on all the little kids. I just wanted to take a chair and smash their fat heads with a metal chair. Then they'll see how they like getting picked on. One of them even had his "neck missing" so I wouldn't want to mess with him. Plus some of these people were skanking to a punk band. I'm sorry but WHY?? These people really know their music*sarcastically* C'mon look up ska and seee if it includes skankin' to punk. I can understand a ska/punk band but not just a punk band. Plus Hippies were skanking and smoking pot. I wanted to beat the hell out of them for that. Damn Hippies, go back to the horde fest. We don't want you in this scene!!! Ok enough ranting.
Back to the show, Edna's Goldfish came on next. They were awesome as usual and it was the first time at the Chance and they seemed to like the place as well as the sound systems. So they started off with "I'm Your Density," and got the crowd skanking which was good because not too many people in poughkeepsie have heard of them but now they have. Other songs in their 30 minute set included "Just Less," "Four Days in November," "Eventually Anyway," "This is not here," and "Relate." For "Veronica Sawyer," I started everyone off by getting on stage to sing along with the chorus part which was cool because out of all the times I've seen them, this was my first time on stage singing. Well, my spontaneous self spurred everyone to get up and join me as well. Brian from Edna's Goldfish, was shocked to see everyone on stage. He was like, "Oh, it looks like a big party up on here." Also, I got on stage for "This is not here." But during the non-chorus parts I was up there just standing there, so I looked like an idiot. Well they kicked ass as usual.
Finally, The Scofflaws were up. They played a lot of new stuff and old stuff. They played some new ones like "In the Basement," "I Can't Decide," and old ones like "Back door Open, " When the lights go down," "Nude Beach." I was disappointed in that song because they didn't have the baritone sax guy to play the intro to that song which makes it an awesome song. Anyways, they also played like "William Shatner." That's my favorite song by them and I like how they get the crowd participation in it. They have everyone run back and forth like Star Trek ship is rocking back and forth. That was pretty cool. Anyways, they were awesome and I'm tired from writing this so long so THE END

Bears get offensive in season tune up
Sam Mustari
Franklin Henderson II was himself Saturday afternoon.
Starting today, he'll become one of
the best impersonators around, playing the roles of many.
Henderson, a redshirt quarterback for the University of Northern Colorado football team, along with a horde or other redshirt freshmen, will become an important, yet nonvisible part of the Bears.
"I'll do whatever I have to do to make the team better," said
Henderson, who came to UNC via Denver's Montbello High School, where he led the state in passing with 2,361 yards.
"I know it's going to be hard from being a starter for three years to sitting on the sidelines."
Former Greeley West standout Reed Haimson will do the same.
Haimson came to UNC as a walk-on after starting for the Spartans as a wide receiver and defensive back, the position he'll play for the Bears.
"In high school, I rarely came off the field," Haimson said. "I'm looking forward to getting some great experience, going against the first-team offense every day in practice."
Henderson and Haimson saw their last bit of live action Saturday afternoon as the Bears completed preseason drills with a 125-play scrimmage at Nottingham Field.
Henderson was part of the Bears' offense, which totalled five touchdowns. He scored on a 5-yard run, and finished the day 3-for-8 for 76 yards.
Haimson had several pass break-ups for the UNC defense, which recorded seven sacks and four interceptions.
"I think the coaches here know that it's best to redshirt a year," Henderson said. "In high school, I didn't even play offense my first year. I was a defensive end."
Junior standout defensive back Reed Doughty said he wasn't even close to being ready to play when he reported for preseason drills three years ago.
"I couldn't have played, no way," said Doughty, who opened Saturday's scrimmage scoring with a 74-yard interception return for a touchdown. "I wanted a year to get faster, stronger and learn how I could help the team.
"I remember having to play some linebacker because there wasn't enough scout-team defensive backs. These guys know they're here to help." The redshirt freshmen will begin their first week of imitations by playing the roles of North Dakota State players, preparing the Bears for next Saturday's 2 p.m. season opener at Nottingham Field.
"And after that, I'll be Maine's quarterback, and then somebody else's after that," Henderson said. "I'm prepared for it."
Henderson prepared himself diligently to learn UNC's offense, but admitted it's very complex, and "can sometimes be difficult.
"It's a slow process," he said. "This offense isn't simple, that's for sure."
The start of classes last week also required a time adjustment.
"For me, it wasn't that bad," said Haimson, a business finance major. "It was just different because for more than two weeks, football was like from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. It was like having a job."
Henderson also welcomed the start of classes, which he said weren't quite as demanding as football.
"Classes are like for two or three hours each day is all, and football can be all day in the preseason," Henderson said. "I know though that I'm looking forward to the real games getting started, even though I'll just be watching."
* : The Bears exhibited more offense than a week ago, highlighted by quarterback Tony Christensen, who threw for 286 yards and two touchdowns — 11 yards to tight end Paul Sweitzer and on a 3-yard jump-ball pass to junior preseason All-American Vincent Jackson in the back of the end zone.
* : Redshirt freshman Aaron Henderson used some nifty shifts to make defenders miss in a 60-yard punt return.
* The Bears' other touchdown on the day came from freshman wide receiver Jerod Ermel, who hauled in a 33-yard pass from Henderson.
* : Sophomore tailback Andre Wilson cemented his starting spot by rushing for 44 yards on 14 carries, followed by Bill Hill with 25 yards on six carries and Jahir Waterman with 21 yards on nine carries.
* A horde of receivers caught 27 passes, led by Jamar Farbes' three for 83 yards; and four by Cory Sleeth for 81 yards.
* : Five defenders — Jason McMillan, Kurt Hout, Brandon Endriss, Darcy Shaw and Greg Gebhardt — recorded solo sacks.
* Chris Gebhardt, who is making the transition from basketball to football, had two of the defense's four interceptions. Doughty and Brandon Joseph each had one.
Weston Hielscher led all tacklers with seven, followed by Doughty and Sirwestly Williams with five each.
* : The NDSU-UNC kickoff next Saturday is scheduled for 2 p.m., two hours later than normal to accommodate the television brocadcast of Fox Sports Rocky Mountain, Channel 37.
* : The construction of nearly 2,000 additional seats on the east side of Nottingham Field won't be complete for the season opener, leaving students and visiting fans the option to sit in the west bleachers. There is a possibility that some temporary end-zone seating may be available.
* : Spotted among the fans at Saturday's scrimmage was new UNC athletic director Jay Hinrichs, whose first official day on the job will be Monday.
Hinrichs was hired as the new athletic director last week, and is in the process of moving his family to Greeley from Leawood, Kan. He has been the associate athletic director for facilities and planning at the University of Kansas for three years after spending 18 years working as an administrator for the Kansas City Royals.


Depending on what you know about Wikis or the history of the GetWiki site, you may be frustrated on how to create new pages, or edit the ones we have here. As of August 2008, the software has been completely replaced (along with all built-in assumptions about wikis) with a whole new platform. There are remaining details to work out on the site, but read on for a few words about making new pages and editing on the new GetWiki.
To start new pages or upload images, click on "start new", to the left. Another way to create a page is to follow a green link and extend the site by importing (or creating new pages where there is nothing to import, or where the import is inappropriate). GetWiki currently imports from Wikipedia, Wikinfo, and SourceWatch (and we could easily add others). Following such links will try to import and show you the results, which you can edit/create if you're "networked in".
Mainly, though, the basic policy has changed on creating new pages and editing, because the "wiki way" does not work. No matter how you access a new title to start editing, you cannot create a new page, edit a page, or upload an image until you have made a friend here. Once you have a friend, you can create pages and edit them, upload images, and edit your friend's pages, but you cannot edit other people's pages (as defined by who started the page). This is how the new social networking aspect of the site helps us to make friends and manage the content, a bit like how a blog works.
With or without friends, you can post in the forums, and use private messaging, of course. In fact, posting in the forums is a great way to show off your intentions, let us know about you, and make friends.
Academic Freedom: GetWiki is a limited range "Encyclopedia-Primer" along with original works, and is not limited by the "community" concerns of other wiki encyclopedias. GetWiki should primarily be used for discussing and developing documents on intellectual and technical topics, including peer-reviewing them when desired. Discussions on article pages can lead to better articles, arguments or software. Discussions elsewhere should be cordial, but free.
Choosing Articles: Look for opportunities to extend GetWiki by creating new theoretical and intellectual articles, ebooks, papers, and discussions in the Humanities, Arts, Sciences and Technology and by only importing articles in these fields which you plan to "fork", adapt, or tightly integrate into GetWiki. Simply importing pages from another wiki, especially the disorganized Wikipedia, isn't useful here - we do not want to be another Wikinfo. We want unique, well-maintained subject matter no other wiki can, or is unlikely to, have, with original works presented alongside.
Point of View: Make sure the main subject in a given article (eg. Article) "posits" something useful and true. Articles should be written with a Positive Point of View, and differing views are welcome either in sections of the article, on the article's counterpart "critical" page (eg. Against Article) or even in disussions in the forums.
Titling Articles and Headings: Title acronyms are acceptable and encouraged, as GetWiki is a "metawiki" on the Humanities and Sciences, generally intellectual and technical issues, and our limited encylopedia-primer pages can use short titles. Our readers may already be familiar with terms like "PHP" or "QED". Wikipedia-style disambiguation is not strictly necessary, and commonly accepted lingo from the various subjects is welcome, even in using "C" instead of "C Programming Language". Titles should also follow "academic" or "Chicago" style and usage (ie. "Book Title in Philosophy", or "New Theory of Logic"), while CamelCase, or a stylized usage (such as Proteus' tendency to small caps in headings) are fine. Bad Wiki habits (ie. "Book title in philosophy", or "New theoryof logic", or "C programming language") must be avoided, and pages will be moved or merged with others to reflect easier to read titles and to avoid confusing messes of repetitive articles. GetWiki does not automatically capitalize links, either, and will allow articles such as "rimric" and "ibiblio".
Multiple Wikis: GetWiki imports articles via XML from Wikipedia, Wikinfo and others, but editors are encouraged to manually import available articles from any other wiki where appropriate. Generally, imports should be used as raw material for GetWiki papers, ebooks and discussions, rather than merely to increase the GetWiki database (we're going for quality here, not just a higher article count than some other wiki). What good are thousands of out of date (and quite possibly inaccurate) imported articles?
Don't Get Personal: Respect other contributors. By treating others with respect we are able to coöperate effectively in building a Wiki. Observe general Netiquette. Repeated trolling, flaming and vandalism will not be tolerated, and will result in immediate reverts and long term bans.
Don't Plagiarize Work: Do not infringe anyone's copyrights. Submitting work without the copyright holder's permission could lead to legal liability for the project or for you. See Copyrights for more information.
Added Protection: GetWiki offers built-in protection for your texts, similar to Wikinfo's "signed articles". If you have a paper or short ebook on a relevant subject, or just a well-written article, you don't want other people to mess with it. On GetWiki, casual editing (and indeed vandalism) is not allowed. Each article is more of a blog post than a public page.
Technical Lingo: Generally follow typical wiki and internet discussion forum convention, but for GetWiki, technical lingo and terms are welcome, and can even be helpful. Many contributors are familiar with how wikis work, and this is a metawiki after all.
Using Accounts: GetWiki requires you register an account with a unique email address and (Wiki:Login|login) to do anything. If you do not have a "friend" here, a fellow "GetWiker", then you cannot edit any of the wiki pages, the articles. Once you have a friend, you can edit each others' articles. If you have "editor" status, you can edit anything. If you're blocked, you cannot edit or upload anything, and if you are blocked, that information is not made public.
Allow that your text or formatting may, and can, be edited by an "editor" or "friend"
We are all contributors, and thus, editors, but in context, "editor" refers to someone who can override things around the site.
GetWikers jump into discussions and make copyedits and corrections to the content and format problems they see on their friends' pages.
Editors, Ombudsmen (and the Editor-in-Chief) can moderate discussions, and can step in and ban/block anyone who has vandalized or spammed, and can delete or move pages and images.
The Founder and/or Editor-in-Chief can monitor private information and promote/demote other Editors (based on work/discussion here, not based on whatever happened outside this website).
All of us should work together in an honest, supportive way toward the goals above, but free speech is a hallmark of this wiki. a GetWiker may become an Editor or Ombudsman, perhaps even Editor-in-Chief, through consistent and fair discussions and useful contributions, and there is no posting threshold or particular benchmark for promotion. Editors may also be relieved of their Administration designations if they clearly disregard Policy, and there is no particular test for such demotion. Editors can discuss, even to challenge, any action taken by any other Administrator, and the Administrator must consider the views expressed and whether or not to reverse it.
All matters should be addressed to an Administrator, preferably through private messaging. Make your best efforts to explain the issue and allow time for its resolution. Policies on GetWiki have been adapted from online experiences on many internet forums, wikis, and good ole' common sense. The policies here are also an attempt to improve bad habits found elsewhere, but mainly to avoid domineering practices (knee-jerk bans, "Thought Police" bullying, Groupthink, and other evils). The idea is to have a more welcoming and useful environment for everyone. Still, please note that free speech is to be preserved here: We don't ban, demote, lecture or moralize GetWikers for expressing opinions, unless they become personal, vandalistic, spam-like, or violent, and only if they do so on this website.
GetWiki uses accounts and high security standards for its open content, rather than rely on the measures taken by some wikis to revert articles and discover "sock puppet" accounts. Because of the security and privacy problems involved with allowing non-registered users to edit, GetWiki blocks non-account editing and uploads without exception, as well as requiring that you use unique, validated email addresses, and that you "have a friend" here to do anything other than post on the boards. GetWiki also uses a "blacklist" to prevent "link spam" inserted into articles.
GetWiki is not affiliated with any of the sites below, but they're cool.

Q: How to style MessagePrompt from Code4Fun I am using the Message Prompt from the Code4fun toolkit for Windows Phone.
I have a problem styling the component. I have tried creating a general stye for it, and also tried changing the properties before displaying the component:
var messagePrompt = new MessagePrompt
{
    Title = "UserControl test",
    Body = new PopupView(),
    IsAppBarVisible = true,
    IsCancelVisible = true,
    BorderThickness = new Thickness(0),
    Margin = new Thickness(0),
    Padding = new Thickness(0),
    BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 82, 161)),
    Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 82, 161))
};

messagePrompt.Show();

The Background is set with the correct color, but the BorderThickness, the Margin and the Padding settings are ignored!
I have tried google for some stying examples, but not with any luck!
So, how can I style the MessagePrompt component from coding4fun?

A: Here is template of MessagePrompt from Code4fun:
<Grid VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
     <Rectangle Fill="{StaticResource TransparentBrush}" />
     <Border VerticalAlignment="Top"
             Margin="10" // because this line you can't change margin
             Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
             BorderThickness="1" // because this line you can't change BorderThickness
             BorderBrush="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}">
     <StackPanel Margin="10">
            <TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding Title}"
           Margin="0,-10,-25,10" FontSize="30"
                   TextWrapping="Wrap" FontFamily="Segoe WP Light" />
            <ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding Body}" />
            <StackPanel Margin="0,10,0,0"
                        Name="actionButtonArea"
                        Orientation="Horizontal"
                        HorizontalAlignment="Center" />
      </StackPanel>
   </Border>
</Grid>

Padding ignored because this property not uses in template.
How you see, if you want to change this properties you have to change template of MessagePrompt.
