Shinjuku ward in Tokyo will give any citizen with coronavirus 100,000 yen.
A district of Tokyo plans to give any citizen who becomes infected with the coronavirus a check worth almost $1,000.
Shinjuku ward in central Tokyo says it will provide 100,000 yen (around $935) to any citizen in the area who contracts COVID-19, according to Japanese media.
It is home to one of Tokyo's biggest entertainment districts and has reported close to 900 cases so far.
Coronavirus cases in Japan have been increasing steadily in recent days, with Tokyo reporting 200 or more new cases each day for the past four days.
Some have criticized the scheme, saying it will lead to people deliberately trying to get the virus.
A district of Japan's capital city, Tokyo, is offering any citizen who becomes infected with the coronavirus a check worth almost $1,000 in the latest unusual stimulus effort to battle the economic impacts of the pandemic.
Shinjuku ward in central Tokyo says it will give 100,000 yen (around $935) to any citizen in the area who contracts COVID-19, according to a report from The Japan Times, the country's largest English-language newspaper
The ward, one of the city's hubs for entertainment, food, and drink, has been particularly hard-hit economically by the virus as bars, restaurants, and clubs have been shuttered.

"As people infected with the coronavirus have no choice but to take time off work, their income may decline," a ward official told the Japan Times.
"Urgent livelihood support is needed."
According to Japanese national broadcaster NHK, the scheme will be available to anyone who lives in Shinjuku and gets the virus. They will had to of lived there since April 7, when the city introduced a state of emergency.
People wanting to take advantage of the payment will need to send a form to the local authorities, and payments will start in August, NHK added.
As of mid-June, 240 people were eligible for the scheme, the Japan Times said, citing local officials.
Home to over 350,000 people, Shinjuku houses the Kabukicho area — Tokyo's most famous Red Light district — as well as the city's biggest train station, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building.

However, the scheme has already faced online criticism, with some suggesting that people could deliberately try to become infected so that they get given the money.
"Please don't do this. It's just going to encourage some idiots to get coronavirus on purpose," one person said on Twitter, Japanese blog Sora News 24 reported.
"This seems like a bad idea. I understand some people have to go out, but for those people who chose to go out for fun and got sick, I think they should take responsibility and pay for their own medical expenses," another remarked.
Coronavirus cases in Japan have been increasing steadily in recent days, with the densely-populated capital city particularly impacted.
Tokyo has reported 200 or more new cases every day for the past four days.
Cases in the city have been steadily increasing since a state of emergency was lifted in late May. Almost 8,000 people have been infected in Tokyo, with 325 deaths. It accounts for more than one-third of all Japan's 21,000 virus cases.
Unusual approaches
The coronavirus pandemic has led governments worldwide to come up with increasingly unusual ways to support their citizens economically.
Measures range from the stimulus checks sent directly to US citizens, to large scale government unemployment support, all the way to the UK's new "Eat out to help out" program, which gives citizens a discount when dining out to encourage economic activity.

Three independent technologies related to hay yield monitoring were developed and studied. One technology involved comparison of infrared and ultrasonic sensors on a self-propelled forage harvester. Sensor response related to grass height and was used to estimate yield. Plots that were harvested ranged from 20-40 ft. in length while a bin mounted on the back of the mower collected the crop for weighing and sampling. The infrared sensors data demonstrated accuracies across plots between 5.9% and 9.5% error. The infrared sensors quickly deteriorated and eventually proved to be useless for data acquisition. As for the ultrasonic sensors, they demonstrated similar accuracy to the infrared sensors but the sensor response did not deteriorate like that of the infrared sensors. It was concluded that the standing crop method of yield monitoring would be difficult to adapt for commercial adoption but could potentially be beneficial in crop and machinery research. The same model sensors that were used on the self-propelled forage harvester were installed on a boom that was mounted to the tongue of a round hay baler to measure windrow height, which was then used to estimate mass flow rate and therefore crop yield. The infrared sensors proved to not be suitable for the environment from the beginning of testing due to the dusty atmosphere. Each hay bale was individually weighed by placing them on a platform that was sitting on truck scales. Samples were also taken from bales and dried to calculate moisture content. In year one, 59 bales of a Tifton 85 and Coastal mix were baled along with 57 bales of Tifton 85 and 9 bales of alfalfa. Average absolute error as calculated from sensor data acquired from the ultrasonic sensors ranged from 3.1% to 23.86%. Although the range is large, most of the average absolute errors stayed around approximately 10%. Year two data was also collected from ultrasonic sensors of a different model. The average absolute errors for those ultrasonic sensors ranged from 5.11% to 9.27%. In the third technology presented, a pressure transducer was installed on the hydraulic bale kicker circuit on two different round balers. The pressure transducer data was collected and correlated to bale weight to provide on-the-go bale weight estimates. Analyses were conducted to compare different size bales and bales that use different methods of wrapping. Average absolute errors for comparison of wrapping methods ranged from 1.1% to 7.28%. When combining the two methods, average absolute errors ranged from 2.44% to 9.46%. Average absolute errors ranged from 1.1% to 5.79% when data was analyzed within particular bale sizes.

An Educated View of Innovation – VMware's Academic Program
Julia Austin
VMware has a unique offering to the academic community called the VMware Academic Program or VMAP. We started the program in 2005 in response to a growing interest from academics to do virtualization research and instruction. VMware's roots in academia (we started at Stanford University) compelled us to do much more than sponsored research and education via licenses and courseware. We now have a robust global program that spans many facets of academia. Through this program, we continue to foster innovation in virtualization as well as broader systems areas.
I recently sat down with Steve Muir, VMware's Director of VMAP, to hear more about the program and would like to share our conversation with the community.
Julia: Now that you've been at VMware for just about a year, can you tell me how you would describe the VMware Academic Program to the community?
Steve: VMAP is an initiative of the Innovation team within the Office of the CTO. We foster VMware's relationships with the academic community. While the goals and programs of VMAP are primarily research oriented, we also have various efforts to support teaching and education.
Julia: Are there specific focus areas of VMAP?
Steve: There are three primary elements in the program: research collaboration, community engagement and technology initiatives. In research collaboration we support a number of universities' research activities, either joint research projects or broad sponsorship of a particular department or research lab. Our community engagement efforts provide sponsorship for a wide range of academic conferences every year, and we work closely with our colleagues in University Relations to reach out to student groups at various universities. Technology initiatives are focused on making VMware technology and related educational content available to academic users.
Julia: A lot of tech companies simply write checks to sponsor research. How is VMAP going beyond that when it comes to supporting research activities?
Steve: Our mission is to establish strong, working relationships with academic researchers – well beyond just writing checks. We have a number of universities engaged in collaborative research projects with our core engineering team. The close proximity of several of our R&D labs to some of the top research universities in the world has allowed for a very fluid interaction with these teams.
We target specific areas of interest (such as security, networking, etc.), and provide the opportunity for researchers to partner with teams who are actually shipping code. Our projects are solicited through an annual Request for Proposals or initiated by our R&D colleagues based upon their existing relationships. Ultimately, our collaborative work results in joint publications and quite often influences VMware product and feature offerings, e.g., this paper on Hierarchical QoS just published at USENIX.
Julia: I'm sure you get regular feedback from our academic partners about what they get out of the program. What types of benefits do they cite from their collaboration with VMware?
Steve: Our academic partners truly appreciate the insight they get into real customer challenges, and at scale far beyond the systems that researchers typically have access to. We help guide research towards the most relevant challenges, and consequently maximise the impact of that research. We obviously also have an exceptionally talented and experienced workforce that can provide knowledge and perspective on a wide range of systems research areas, but perhaps most important are the relationships built between researchers, students and VMware engineers, often leading to joint publications or a starting point for a PhD thesis.
Julia: Who are some of the collaborators you're working with these days?
Steve: We have ongoing relationships with numerous universities, not just in the US but internationally. Through our 2011 RFP, on 'Performance in Cloud and Virtualized Environments' we funded projects at the University of Boston, University of Tennesee and University of Toronto, and have already seen those projects bear fruit. We will shortly announce the recipients of our 2012 RFP, for cloud and virtualized system security, for which we had a great level of interest. Some of our other research partnerships, driven by existing relationships, are with MIT, CMU, Berkeley, Ohio State University, Georgia Tech, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Technion Israel Institute of Technology and Imperial College, London.
Julia: Part of being in the academic community is attending and participating in conferences. Are there specific conferences VMware sponsors, and what role do we play at those events?
Steve: Just as VMware's corporate interests are broader than just virtualization and our global presence has expanded to various countries, VMAP's conference sponsorship and participation evolves and looks to new areas. For example, with our current focus on Big Data and other database topics we attended the recent ACM SIGMOD conference for the first time and made some great connections with researchers in this area.
Internationally we supported the ACM PLDI conference in Beijing, where VMware Fellow Ole Agesen was the keynote speaker, and Eurosys in Switzerland, as part of our global outreach. We also co-sponsored conferences outside the academic sphere to engage with different communities – for example, this year we partnered with our Ecosystem Engineering organization to co-sponsor EclipseCon. Our conference enables more students to attend by providing travel grants, and many researchers enjoy talking to VMware engineers about how their research relates to our business and technical challenges.
One great thing that we hear about our participation at conferences is that we aren't there just to recruit. We often have our own papers to present, lead Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions, and our engineers really enjoy the chance to engage with the research community. This level of participation has been a great way to demonstrate our support for the academic community, and highlight our work in solving hard problems through innovation. It also provides great professional and personal development opportunities for our engineers, and helps us develop relationships with professors and students.
Julia: I always get excited when I hear one of our engineers just had a paper accepted to a conference. What have been the most successful conferences for VMware this year?
Steve: We're extremely proud of the folks that work so hard to reach these achievements. In March we sponsored VEE and ASPLOS, held at the Royal Society in London, and had several papers presented in the conferences and associated workshop. Just last month we sponsored the USENIX Annual Technical Conference, in Boston, where we presented two papers on storage QoS, based on joint work with faculty and students at Rice University, and one on hypervisor performance optimisation.
Looking ahead a little, one of the most interesting conferences for us every year is the USENIX Large Installation System Administration conference (LISA). It is unique in bringing together researchers and practicing system administrators, which are both communities that are very interested in what VMware is doing. LISA has a different feel than a traditional academic conference, and it's always a great way to wrap up the conference season; we had a very well attended BoF last year, and hopefully will have a paper or two this year.
Julia: Who at VMware can participate in VMAP?
Steve: The VMAP team runs the program, but our success is heavily dependent on the participation of our VMware colleagues in R&D. Publishing papers, representing VMware at conferences and engaging with students are all things that any VMware engineer can do, and they do it very well. We encourage everyone at VMware to take advantage of the opportunities we can provide them to get out and interact with the academic community.
Julia: It's great to see the progress being made with VMAP. How can the community get more information about the program?
Steve: There has been a lot of progress made, but there's also much more we plan to do in the future. The VMware Academic Program hosts a lot of information about different programs here. Our software licensing program for academic users is described in detail here. You can also follow us on Twitter at @vmwacademic.

As a former AFL umpire, Brian Lee-Archer would seem to have a sporting life dedicated to elite fitness and health. But it wasn't always the case. Like most of us, Brian's quest to keep his work life balance in check has been an ongoing challenge.
Based in Canberra, Brian has spent large portions of his career travelling and knows the challenges of keeping well, both physically and mentally, while working in the dynamic and demanding field of consulting.
We chatted with Brian to understand how he manages to be his best self at work and in life.
What was your light bulb moment in terms of taking action to improve your health?
Going to boot camp three to four mornings a week! Ten years ago, I was unfit and well above my AFL running weight. My wife gave me a one-month boot camp pass. The first month was horrible. But I kept at it – and a team bond formed amongst the other bootcampers. Now I've celebrated ten years with that same group and they recently awarded me 'bootcamper of the decade' (it was a small field!). You need that kind of discipline. In my experience, it's the only way to keep on top of your health and fitness.
What are your top tips for maintaining health and wellbeing for our people working in consulting?
As someone who spent between three to four years out of the country while travelling all over the world for work, I understand the challenges we all face working with client demands, deadlines and working at client sites as consultants. My average work trip used to be one to two weeks in duration.
After a public service career, I worked for 12 years for a large global technology company and I could feel myself burning out. It was unsustainable, and I thought, I've got to change this!
When you are working in an unpredictable environment, you must focus on what can you make predictable. Controlling diet and exercise gives me that grounding. Now if I travel for work, I pack my running gear. I'm very disciplined about it.
And having that focus has helped me at work. When you're working in an ambiguous environment and there's lots of uncertainty, this keeps me going. It's fun and good for me. It's setting me up for a healthy future too.
As a business leader, how do you maintain your relationships with family and friends?
I'm a working parent with two girls aged 26 and 18 years. I spent a lot of time travelling during their formative years. My wife worked part-time in their early years and then full-time. But I always tried to get to school events. I was conscious of it. Sometimes that meant appearing at a netball event for my girls on a Saturday morning with my suitcase after a long-haul flight.
I stayed connected with my kids when travelling by taking 'Elmo' and 'Buddy' with me. Elmo was even photographed with the Mona Lisa when at the Louvre Museum. The kids really appreciated things like that. Elmo is now living in Brisbane with my eldest daughter and Buddy is still my travelling companion.
Being in global roles – where I was measured on results and outcomes rather than time at my desk – gave me the flexibility to make my career and my life work together. In my current role, I'm savouring the Australia and New Zealand focus.
How have Accenture's programs helped you prioritise your best self?
Life is a marathon. My early work experiences, where I was at a high risk of on-the-job burn out, showed me that I need to pace myself and prioritise my health and wellbeing.

Independents' Day is a 2016 science fiction action film starring Fay Gauthier, Sal Landi and Johnny Rey Diaz made by The Asylum. In the tradition of most of The Asylum's catalog, Independent's Day is a mockbuster of the 1996 film Independence Day and its 2016 sequel Independence Day: Resurgence.

Plot
The alien Orions attack the planet as humans are deemed too violent. After blowing up many of the Earth's capital cities, they then heal many of the sick and offer to transport them; those who are hungry and others who wanted to go to another planet and many of the earthlings volunteer to go. An "Earth First" militia forms to fight the aliens, while the US Vice President (as the aliens have killed the President) negotiates with the aliens. The plot was noted to be convoluted.

10 November, KUALA LUMPUR – The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has suffered losses of RM28,137,507 due to rent arrears by tenants of its People's Housing Project (PPR) and Public Housing (PA) units as at Oct 31 this year.
In a statement, DBKL said the amount involved 26,860 PPR and PA tenants who had failed to pay their monthly rent of RM124, which was significantly low compared to the management and maintenance costs borne by the city hall, estimated at RM300 per month for each PA and PPA unit.
Therefore, the DBKL also advised the tenants to settle the arrears immediately to ensure that their rental agreements will not be terminated.
If their tenancy agreements are terminated, the tenants would be asked to vacate their units, the statement said.
Meanwhile, DBKL Licencing and Hawkers Development Department director Anwar Mohd Zain in a press conference said that starting Jan 1, 2019, all applications for billboard and unipole advertising around the capital, would be implemented through open tender.
As such, he said the applications for new billboards and unipole advertising licenses would be suspended until next year.
Anwar said this was to ensure that DBKL revenue could also be collected through advertising licence fees and rental income.
We hope with this move, DBKL revenue will see an increase of 15 per cent from next year, he said.
In a separate statement, the city hall also announced that it would implement a change of traffic flow at Jalan Sultan Ismail/Jalan P.Ramlee intersection from Jalan Perak from 12.01am on Sunday.
All vehicles on Jalan P. Ramlee from Jalan Perak will be allowed to turn left and right to Jalan Sultan Ismail and continue towards Jalan Raja Chulan at the intersection.
The change is aimed to reduce traffic congestion during peak hours in major roads in the city centre area, especially in Bukit Bintang, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan Raja Chulan and Jalan Imbi.


Easyship is a great way to shop if you want to save a lot of money. All products the family uses daily, we have a fixed delivery. The healthcare products are used up until the next delivery comes. Outside products such as soap, shampoo, body lotion, deo and other care products are usually a small layer of. Then we always have useful gifts waiting for us. Nice to get all the family using, free delivery every 5 months. Ingenious!

Q: MATLAB: How do I graph multiple functions on the same graph? How can I graph multiple functions on the same graph/plot/Cartesian plane on MATLAB with domain and range restrictions?
For example I made up the following functions below. How would I graph the following on the same graph within MATLAB?
Function 1: x = -3 for 10 <= y <= 14
Function 2: y = -2x for -5 <= x <= -4
Function 3: (x-0)^2 + (y-12)^2 = 2.25 // Produces a circle
Function 4: y = 4 for -1 <= x <= 1

A: Matlab is a numerical computing environment, so you'll need to tell it what you're looking for while plotting.
In the case of your first example, you'll need to tell it which Y values to plot.  Since X is always the same, you know it's going to be a line - so two points will be enough.  Plot requires parallel arrays, so:
Function 1: x = [-3 -3]; y = [10 14]; plot(x, y);
To plot additional lines on the same graph, use the command hold on, which applies to the figure you just plotted.  If you don't do this, new plot commands will erase the old plots.
Similarly,
Function 2: x = [-5 4]; y = -2*x; plot(x, y);
For circles/ellipses like #3, ezplot can be helpful, although you still have to specify the range.
Function 3: ezplot('x^2 + (y-12)^2 - 2.25', [-3,3,10,14])
The last one is easy, but let's say it were a curve instead.  You'd want to plot more than just two x values.  You can create a vector from a range like this: x = -1:0.1:1;, or an evenly space set of points from -1 to 1, with an interval of 0.1.  Let's say you want to plot it on the same graph, and you've already done hold on.  You want a different color, and you want to show the individual points that make up the line, you can use the third argument to the plot function:
Function 4: x = -1:0.1:1; y = 4 * ones(length(x)); plot(x, y, '-r.');
The second command here, y = 4 * ones(length(x)); simply creates a y vector that is the same length as x.

Flavorman Reveals Top Beverage Trends for 2022
Experts at the Louisville, Kentucky-based beverage development company, Flavorman, have announced the drink trends to watch for in 2022. Driven by the long-term effects of an ongoing pandemic, this year's forecast is shaping up to focus on celebrating life's simple pleasures while striving for balance.
• Going Big & Bold: As evidenced by the seltzer boom of the last few years, drinks with subtle displays of flavor have previously taken center stage, but that is likely to change in 2022. With the seltzer market beginning to saturate, beverage makers are now seeking ways to differentiate from the competition, opting for bigger and bolder profiles.
"Client requests have taken a 180-degree turn on flavor, especially where seltzers and sparkling waters are concerned," said Tom Gibson, Flavorman's chief flavorist, in a press release. "Whereas before, clients would be looking for a gentler spritz of nuanced flavors in their drink, we are now seeing more clients ask for loud and proud, single-note flavors."
In the wake of COVID-19 – a virus that is notorious for attacking a person's taste and smell – it makes sense that drinks with prominently featured and straightforward flavors may provide reassurance to consumers still recovering from sensory loss related to the virus, or those who are just concerned with changes to their senses in general.
In 2022, expect beverage makers to continue emphasizing the presence of familiar flavors in drinks across categories. Childhood favorites like watermelon, strawberry, cherry, apple and grape will see a resurgence as consumers reach for those immediately recognizable and nostalgic profiles.
• Guilt-Free Indulgence: As the world becomes more accustomed to the challenges of an ongoing pandemic, consumers are learning to strive for balance in all aspects of their life. Rather than sacrificing on indulgent experiences, consumers are embracing them with some slight modifications.
Citrus flavors have been a cornerstone for the drinks industry, but consumer tastes are now evolving towards botanical-forward beverages—particularly in the premium sector. Floral profiles like hibiscus, lavender and elderflower are becoming more mainstream and making way for the earthier, more herbal flavors of turmeric, anise and rosemary.
"Many of the ingredients you would find in your kitchen spice cabinet can introduce an extra element to a drink, providing new dimensions of flavor or functionality," said Katie Clark, Flavorman's lab manager. "Consumers tend to react to these twists with greater expectations—an insight that brands can leverage in premium beverage offers."
Because premium is also so often associated with quality, ingredients like juice and full sugar are also becoming more popular in beverages marketed as high-end. Consumers indulging in these drinks aren't as concerned with calorie restrictions or sugar because they recognize that they are treating themselves to a unique experience. The same can be observed in the spirits and beverage alcohol sectors.
"In the spirits world, amaro, absinthe and other botanical spirits are seeing a renaissance," said Colin Blake, director of spirits education at Moonshine University, the sister company of the Flavorman Beverage Campus. "These drinks tend to have a distinctive quality due to their balance of bitter and sweet, and they are consumed in very particular ways, usually before or directly following a meal. Consumers in the premium sector have embraced the ritual involved as another way of replicating a bar experience."
• A Return to Simplicity: Simplicity provides a source of comfort during a time when life feels like it has become much more complicated. In fact, the ongoing "clean label" trend shows us how the quality of ingredients, not quantity, is shaping consumer perceptions of the value of a beverage. It also explains why drinks with simple ingredient statements continue to be consumer favorites.
"Transparency has, time and time again, proven to be important to consumers," said Clark. "Many clients seeking compliance with Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and other 'better-for-you' food and beverage retailers have simply opted to do away with sweeteners or added colors instead of combing through the accepted ingredient lists. Consumers don't seem to mind."
With health and wellness continuing to drive trends as we move into 2022, beverage brands will opt for simplicity in beverage formulations across the board. In the spirits sector, simplicity takes the form of moderation.
"Going low- or no-alcohol is a lifestyle choice that some consumers are rallying behind as a way to achieve holistic health goals," said Clark. "This trend has fueled explosive growth in non-alcoholic spirits and ready-to-drink mocktails—as well as lower ABV wine-based cocktails—that we expect to continue into the New Year."
With nearly 30 years in the beverage business and over 70,000 drink formulations, Flavorman compiles this annual trends summary through examination of beverage projects that have passed through its laboratory over the last 12 months. To learn more, visit flavorman.com.

Flavorman Reveals Top Drink Flavor Trends for 2021


JUNE 21, 1999: Les Blank is a man of few words and many films. Something of an anomaly -- or maybe just an old hippie -- at 63 with over 30 documentaries in the can, he's still single-mindedly panning the world through a camera viewfinder, looking for revelation and celebration in life's quirky, telling detail. Blank's long and varied cinematic juggernaut, capturing on film the sensual human spirit, often as seen through the cultures of music and food, was triggered back in the Sixties by -- how's this for anomalous? -- the "vitality" and "cheerfulness" he discerned in Bergman's The Seventh Seal.
Since then, Blank's devotees have blissfully followed him from Polish-American kick-up-your-heels-and-dance polka fests (In Heaven There Is No Beer?, 1984) and the cult of garlic lovers (Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers, 1980) to the trouble-beset Amazon set of Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo (Burden of Dreams,1982), his most widely distributed film.
Blank says he comes to his film ideas simply by following his interests. Gap-Toothed Women (1987) -- a 30-minute survey of the varied effects on the lives of women from Lauren Hutton to Sandra Day O'Connor of having a space between their two front teeth -- harks back to a lingering fascination with a gap-toothed middle-school classmate. When he learned, while reading Chaucer in college, that the Wife of Bath's gapped teeth were a sign of sensuality and carnal lustfulness, Blank found himself once again thinking about his old classmate and regretting that he hadn't been "bolder" in approaching her. Later, during a spate of unsuccessful American Film Institute funding proposals, he pitched, on a whim, a gap-toothed-women film to them and, on a lark, they went for it, thought it would be a good women's issues flick.
The Blues Accordin' to Lightnin' Hopkins (1969) was among the first of many music docs that Blank would make, cutting a wide swath through pockets of exotic musical culture everywhere -- from white French-speaking Cajuns, Clifton Chenier's zydeco, and black Indians in New Orleans to Flaco Jimenez and the Tejanos of South Texas. Blank got interested in Hopkins when he heard him perform in Los Angeles in 1967, the legendary bluesman's music touching a sympathetic chord in a recently divorced filmmaker who was then struggling to find his professional bliss.
Blank recalls the bumpy beginning of that film project. "Lightnin' agreed to do the film only if we paid him enough money. After the first day of shooting -- we had recorded every thing he'd said and every tune he'd played late into the night -- Lightnin' got tired and moody and told us the 10 songs we'd recorded were all we were going to get. He demanded the rest of his money and told us to get lost." Blank begged for one more day and, in an attempt to buy some more time, asked Hopkins to teach him this card game he'd seen him playing. Hopkins managed to separate the novice filmmaker from the little pocket money he had and then felt bad about it, agreeing to let him come back for another game ... and bring his camera. The shoot went on for six weeks.
These days, Blank is essentially a one- or two-person operation; he shoots and distributes his films and works closely with an editor. He used to edit his films. Raised in Tampa, Florida, schooled at Phillips Academy, Andover, Tulane, and USC film school, he now offices in El Cerrito, California, near Berkeley. His financial self-sufficiency, fueled by grants and a well-oiled cottage industry of film rentals and TV and cable sales of his and some others' films -- and T-shirts ("It would be nice if you'd include my Web page address: http://www.lesblank.com") -- is the envy of many in the documentary business, though he says the living still ain't easy. I reached him by phone in Andover, Massachusetts, where he was attending his 45th high-school reunion at Phillips Academy.
Austin Chronicle: So, why is The Blues Accordin' to Lightnin' Hopkins your favorite of all your movies?
Les Blank: For one thing, it's short; you can watch it over and over again and it's constructed so that one scene flows from one to the next without any problem and yet each scene seems like a surprise. I'm endlessly fascinated with the film, the people in it, the cuts, the sound. My others have narration, or more of a storyline, and are more linear, but Lightnin' is easier to watch over and over.
AC: Do you have a working definition of a documentary?
LB: No, I hate that word. So often, people are conditioned to run the other way when they hear that word -- they think high-school health film -- you know, didactic stuff. For me, it's a film that is nonfiction, usually, that holds one's attention, and expands one's awareness of the world and of oneself and the human experience. These films help us to appreciate being alive and what's interesting in the world. It's a form of poetry and artistic expression.
AC: You're sort of legendary for just going and living with the subjects of your films while you shoot them, this resulting in a "you are there" feeling for the viewer. How do you prepare for your shoots?
LB: I never use a script. I just go and start shooting; I never have any idea what I'm looking for when I start shooting, all I have at that point is an interest in the subject. The film comes together in the editing room. I tend to get more alert when I'm shooting and at that point I'm trying to find a direction and meaning to what I'm witnessing and trying to figure out what's significant. If I get there and can't decide what to shoot I just shoot the first thing that happens and that usually gets the gears running. Very often, when you're pointed in a direction, you know where to go next. As the shoot progresses, you start to have an inkling of what it could be about. In the editing room, it's like sculpture, you start with a big block and then start chipping away at it and, gradually, a form comes out of it.
AC: Do you shoot a lot of footage that you don't use in the final cut?
LB: The ratios vary: Lightnin' was 8:1; Gap-Toothed Women was 30:1. Burden of Dreams was 80:1.
AC: How would you describe your cinematic or visual style?
LB: I try to make films where people are alive, I try to draw the viewer into participating in the film; they can't just sit back and be presented, they have to work at it, enter the frame themselves, as if they were there.
AC: How do you do that?
LB: I don't know. I don't have that kind of articulateness to define that. I just shoot and edit and hope that it comes out that way for people. It's not something that comes out of a rule book, I just follow my intuition.
AC: Has your style changed over the 30-some years you've been making films?
LB: Not really. I'm just as uncertain, unknowing, and anxious as ever. The more I go along and see how many things can go wrong in the film process, the more nervous I get about making a film.
AC: Food plays a big role in your films. Why is that?
LB: I like eating a lot; it's one of my main passions. I'll take any excuse to eat or watch food being prepared. And I learned early on that audiences like food; it's the one universal thing that everyone's interested in. Food's not easy to shoot, though. In food commercials, there are food stylists whose job it is to make the food look good. I don't do any of that. Sometimes, when I'm screening a film having to do with food, I'll cook food in the screening room.
AC: Okay, I've gotta ask about the Bergman influence.
LB: Bergman showed me that there was someone in the world who was more depressed than I was at the time, and that cheered me up. I thought it would be nice to make films that cheer people up. I try to do that, to make people feel better about being alive. Bergman shows that struggle of the human spirit to understand the life experience, and that's very vital -- when you see this vitality, it makes you feel good. Those Bergman characters struggling for the meaning of life and death in the face of complete chaos -- there's something cheerful in a way in this, of people being alive.


Ugadi or padva is round the corner. You all might be making different varieties of sweets. Today I want to share with you all my mother in laws signature ladoos – Wheat Flour Ladoos. These are known as "Pittyache Ladoo" or "Gavachya Pitache Ladoo" in Konkani. In Goa we make these pityache ladoo for various occasions like Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, Padva, baby showers, etc. I used to love having these wheat flour ladoos during my pregnancy and after child-birth.
These ladoos are my favorite and my mother in law always makes them perfectly. The ladoos are not very sweet. They have light flavor of cardamom, ghee and whole wheat flour. These ladoos are not greasy. You can make these in bulk and store them in air-tight containers for upto a month. They are perfect to have as snacks. You can also pack them in your tiffin box and carry them to office.
Wrap these whole wheat flour or pittyache ladoo in coloured paper known as "foal" in Goa. This is the paper which is used for making kites. Try to make these ladoos for this Ugadi and present it by wrapping in coloured papers. Impress your guests by serving these delicious ladoos. You can also check this chakri or muruku recipe which I learnt from my mother in law. Also check the top 5 recipes for Ganesh Chaturthi.
Heat a kadai. Add wheat flour and roast on low flame till aroma gets released from wheat flour and colour turns brownish.
Now add ghee and mix well. Add ghee little at a time as the wheat flour should not be too sticky nor too dry. Add more ghee if desired. Switch off the gas.
Add powdered sugar and crushed cardamom and mix well.
Immediately start making small ladoos using both hands.
The ladoos should be made when the ghee and wheat flour mixture is still hot or warm. Once it cools down, it will be difficult to make the ladoo shapes.

Film Serial Review: Les Vampires (1915)
September 19, 2017 by Talking Pulp	in Film Review, Reviews and tagged 1910s, 1915, crime, film, France, review, serial, silent
Release Date: November 13th, 1915 (first chapter)
Directed by: Louis Feuillade
Written by: Louis Feuillade
Cast: Édouard Mathé, Musidora, Marcel Lévesque
Gaumont, 417 Minutes total (10 episodes)
Les Vampires took me a long time to get through. I had to watch it in increments, checking out each chapter over time. Each of which averages out to just over 40 minutes a piece.
While it was probably exciting and great in 1915, most of it is very slow and pretty uneventful. It could actually be easily edited down to a normal feature film length and be a more effective presentation.
Despite the title, the serial is not about vampires of a supernatural type. It is actually a long drawn out crime saga about a criminal gang in Paris that is called the Vampires. The story follows a journalist and his friend who try to uncover the secrets of this criminal group.
There are some weird characters and occurrences throughout this beefy tale and you can see that the style was very theatrical and kind of similar to what would come out of Germany a few years later with their expressionist style.
Being three minutes shy of a seven hour run time, in its entirety, Les Vampires is considered to be one of the longest films ever made. Most of the time the film uses isn't vital, however.
In 1915, film was still an experiment and hadn't really evolved into a standard format. In reality, this ten episode format plays more like a season of a modern television show.
Les Vampires spends a lot of its time experimenting with visual flair and is more of a theatrical art piece than a motion picture or a proper serial. The narrative is disjointed and honestly, it is pretty hard to follow even with its simplicity. The reason being is that so much time passes and you become so numbed by the experience that early details escape you. It's a pretty surreal experience overall.
The serial is still cool to look at, as it shows where filmmaking was around 1915. While some critics consider it to be a masterpiece, I don't. It's barely enjoyable other than some cool visual flourishes and I found it difficult to get through. My spacing out the chapters may also account for some loss of plot detail, however.

Just a little lighted hearted compliment. You should make the most of it!
louis is safe with that scenario .
but would scare the pants off him if in ger lan hit 5 or 6 .
Is is a secret...cos I haven't seen it advertised anywhere. If I didn't know I wouldn't know.
It would be a popular win. A very liked team.
Workington over the past few years have always had riders prepared to attack the Foxhall track and give the home team a good match.
At the AGM it was said that Workington could not race on a Friday as 3 teams have chosen that day. They have now ridden 75% of matches on a Friday, Peterborough have sneaked in a few so now the use of guests for injured riders becomes an issue. The BSPA ask them to change a few meetings & all hell breaks loose.
They were TOLD they cannot ride Fridays, along with Peterborough and Lakeside. Purely so that members of the BSPA, who's teams ride on Fridays would not miss out on getting a rider in for their injured/unavailable riders.
But they've done nowt to make sure the three above teams can complete their fixtures on time and perhaps stop them winning the league.
P*ss poor effort from our so called leaders. Shame on them!!
Surely though it is not beyond the wit of the fixture compiler(s) to ensure that every team in the league has a minimum of one home fixture every two weeks between April and September if they all race on any day between Thursday to Sunday to at least ensure some momentum and fans know that at least every two weeks (barring rain offs etc.) The farce is that they cannot even do that and you go three or four weeks with nothing. If teams are able to race more frequently then so be it. One league meeting home and away and the KO competition is simply not enough to sustain interest.
To reduce costs but maintain regional interest either have a competition with the top two from the North versus the top two from the South home and away. Also have a British Championship where every rider gets a chance to compete and each track holds at least two meetings. As it stands the sport has nothing new to offer except a policy of 'less is best' which clearly from a fans perspective it is not.
Yeah, we needed two on Sunday v Newcastle. What did we get 1 young N L rider, bless him rode his heart out, plus R/R.
We still managed to beat them with a 5 man team.

Gustav Kron (23. April 1878 in Wolfhagen – Mai 1942 im Vernichtungslager Kulmhof), war der letzte jüdische Lehrer und Vorbeter der jüdischen Gemeinde in der nordhessischen Stadt Fritzlar.

Leben
Gustav Kron erhielt seine Ausbildung als Kantor 1900 bis 1904 am Israelitischen Lehrerseminar in Kassel. Im Jahr 1905 wurde er als Lehrer von der jüdischen Gemeinde in Westhoffen im Elsass angestellt. Von 1914 bis zu seiner Erkrankung im Jahr 1916 diente er als Soldat im Ersten Weltkrieg. 1917 wechselte er von Westhoffen nach Balbronn, wo er Kantor wurde. Nachdem im Jahr 1919 das Elsass wieder französisch geworden war, ging Gustav Kron nach Hessen zurück, wo er in Spangenberg die Vertretung des Lehrers Viktor Blumenkrohn wahrnahm. Dort heiratete er im Jahr 1921 Blumenkrohns Tochter Selma (geb. 6. April 1890 in Spangenberg), die in einem Chemielabor arbeitete.

Von 1919 bis 1924 war Kron Lehrer und Vorbeter in Harmuthsachsen, wo im Jahr 1922 der Sohn Walter geboren wurde. Danach wurde er von der jüdischen Gemeinde Fritzlar angestellt. In Fritzlar gab er auch katholischen und protestantischen Theologiestudenten Hebräischunterricht und unterrichtete an der örtlichen Berufsschule.

Da sie hofften, ebenfalls dorthin emigrieren zu können, schickte die Familie 1937 ihren Sohn Walter mit einem Kindertransport in die USA. Kron selbst bewarb sich als Kantor bei mehreren jüdischen Gemeinden in den Vereinigten Staaten, wo er aber keine Anstellung angeboten bekam.

Nach seiner Inhaftierung im Konzentrationslager Sachsenhausen im Zuge der Novemberpogrome 1938 zog Kron mit seiner Frau und seiner Mutter nach Hamburg, die dort starb. Am 25. Oktober 1941 wurden Gustav und Selma Kron von Hamburg aus in das Ghetto Litzmannstadt deportiert. Ende des Jahres wurden beide in das Vernichtungslager Kulmhof gebracht, wo sie im Mai 1942 ermordet wurden.

"Too The Short Of It…"


You want ugly this is it, nice price and great fit as expected, bought as a gift, they loved it.
Wearing this right now, fits great, very comfy, and have received multiple comments about how funny it is and unique.
Extremely soft and high quality - will not shrink or itch. Our Christmas sweaters are made with high quality double-panel construction with reinforced seams. Machine washable and built to last.
Looks like Santa had one too many egg nogs and decided it was time to spread some of his Christmas Cheer! Hopefully the neighborhood kids don't get any "bright" ideas! Made with 100% premiere acrylic yarn and machine-washable.
3.0 out of 5 starsDisappointed!!!
I do enjoy that the length is just an inch or so longer than most sweaters, and the sleeves are NOT all super long as a result of that trade off, this is something as a 6'-2" person that I find tough to get the overall length just right without swimming in sleeves. The 'tipsy elves' nailed this one, sizing is spot on!
I really wanted to like this sweater. The design was clever, and worth at least a 4, but the construction quality was dismal and worth about a 2, so I averaged them to a 3. There were several stains/discolored areas on the front (that appeared to be embedded within the knit, not from something getting spilled on it) and the dark pieces (like sleeve and body) are stitched together with white thread that clearly shows (seams are very loose with visible gaps between pieces).
I noticed several other reviewers saying these were smaller than expected. That did not seem to be the case with mine. Width was on par with the XXL's of several other brands of "ugly sweaters" I've ordered. If anything, it was a little too long in the body and sleeves (and I typically wear tall shirts/jackets).
5.0 out of 5 starsNo problems with color and fit.
The sizing is exactly as advertized. A large is a little too small for me so I went with a XL and it fits like a sweater should, just a little on the comfortably loose side, without feeling like it's too big. Whatever you normally wear, go with that. If you wear a large t-shirt, order a large sweater and don't try to overdo it to accomodate the fact that it's a sweater. Colors are as you see in the picture. I had no issue with the yellow not being yellow and the red looking more like a rust color. it's as advertized. As far as the design goes, I haven't debuted this bad boy yet but I'm expecting everyone to love it, except my wife who has no sense of humor... at all.
Got "ugly christmas sweaters" for my entire immediate family (and their SO's) for our annual (extended) family Christmas eve party. Unfortunately this year it was MUCH warmer than our normal winters, but that didn't spoil the fun. Each sweater represented a detail about the person wearing it. This one was for my fiance who idk...pees a lot? Lol he just liked this one and said this was the one he wanted so I got it for him. Just a heads up the yellow isn't as bright as in the picture. They were a hit and started a new family tradition!
I ordered a large in the navy Yellow Snow Sweater, but unfortunately the elves must have been a little "Tipsy" because I received the wrong item. I received a medium gray Nutcracker Sweater...not even close! It did ship to me fast and the mistake made me realize the medium will fit me better. When I called customer service to see how to handle the exchange, I was on hold for 15 minutes before being transferred to voice mail. The sweater I did receive was great quality for the price, so I decided to give them one more chance and re-ordered the sweater I wanted and plan on sending the wrong item back.
Update: reordered the item i originally ordered and received the correct item super fast. Like i said before, great quality item for the price!
1. Sweater is very well made.
2. The texture is that of sweaters from the 80s. Sorry but that is what comes to mind!
3. This one is more subtle than some other options. Kids did not seem to catch on!
4. Scratchy so be prepared to wear an under shirt if you are sensitive to that sort of thing.
5. Lots of laughs when someone actually realizes what is pictured!


I will say the Acer TravelMate 8481T-6873 is a surprisingly good little system. It should be; it's geared more towards professional users. Acer has done a good job with the majority of the fit and finish of the 8481T; the black brushed aluminum, solid body, and healthy battery life make it a notebook that most people would probably be happy to use on the go, and there's plenty of power under the hood, too.


We helped develop a lead generation campaign in support of the Raif Badawi case in 2015.
On 9th January 2015, Raif Badawi, a Saudi blogger, was taken blindfolded into a public square in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and given the first of 1,000 lashes. He was sentenced to this plus a decade in prison for writing a blog that championed free speech and encouraged debate about reform in his country.
Amnesty International asked THINK Digital to develop a campaign to bring public attention to the issue before he would receive another, potentially fatal, flogging.
The Free Raif campaign was quickly set up across over 30 Amnesty Sections in multiple languages and currencies.
Over 50% of people who visited the site signed up – 1.1 million signatures worldwide – and from a test group of visitors 1% donated online immediately after signing the petition.
We helped develop and deliver a lead generation campaign around Earth Hour 2016 for WWF.


A vast sub-tropical savannah, this national treasure trove depicts ancient human occupation and is a pristine wilderness area. Aboriginal rock paintings depict events of the distant past.
The jagged contours of Cradle Mountain combined with ancient rainforests create a wild landscape to explore. Visitors find icy streams cascading out of rugged mountains, groves of ancient pines mirrored in the still waters of glacial lakes and a wealth of wildlife.
In the forests and parks here you find koalas sleeping in forks of trees, ospreys nesting, kangaroos coming out late in the day to feed, Australian sea lions romping on beautiful white sandy beaches. You will also find tammar wallabies and endangered glossy black cockatoos, possums, goannas, echnidas, platypus and a variety of birds including the rare Cape Barren Geese.
In this cosmopolitan city you find Victorian architecture, cuisine of the freshest ingredients and Australian wines in which you fall in love.
The world's biggest monolith, this huge rock, 6 miles in circumference, rises 348 meters above the plain on which it stands. As the day progresses, the rock changes color from shades of fiery reds, mauves, blues, pinks and browns.
Among the oldest rainforests on earth this is a living museum of one of the most complete and diverse biological records in existence. Daintree is home to many rare and endemic flora and fauna, including tree-climbing kangaroos, carnivorous marsupials, white possums, yellow gliders, false vampires, forest dragons and burrowing frogs.


I want to make a data grid of all Saved Reports in FIMS. How can I do this?
Select 'RptSelect' from the pull down. This will give you the table where the saved report data is stored.
Add a new report and select your columns.
Description is the user's description of the report.
Report ID gives you an ID code for the report that can be helpful in determining where it lives in FIMS.
User ID is the id of the user who created it.
Sorting/Selection Criteria fields give information about the criteria for the report.
You can save this report, and it will act just like any other data grid, you will just need to access it from the Dynamic Data Grid tool.

Q: Storyboard.SetTarget vs Storyboard.SetTargetName Why does Storyboard.SetTargetName works but Storyboard.SetTarget does not?
Here xaml -
    <Grid Grid.Row="0" ClipToBounds="True">
        <X:SmartContentControl  x:Name="smartContent"  Content="{Binding Path=MainContent}" ContentChanging="smartContent_ContentChanging">
            <X:SmartContentControl.RenderTransform>
                <TranslateTransform x:Name="translateTransformNew" X="0" Y="0"/>
            </X:SmartContentControl.RenderTransform>
        </X:SmartContentControl>
        <ContentControl Content="{Binding ElementName=smartContent, Path=LastImage}">
            <ContentControl.RenderTransform>
                <TranslateTransform x:Name="translateTransformLast" X="0" Y="0"/>
            </ContentControl.RenderTransform>
        </ContentControl>
    </Grid>

Here C#
private void smartContent_ContentChanging(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Storyboard storyBoard = new Storyboard();
    DoubleAnimation doubleAnimation1 = new DoubleAnimation(0.0, -smartContent.RenderSize.Width, new Duration(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 0, 500)));
    DoubleAnimation doubleAnimation2 = new DoubleAnimation(smartContent.RenderSize.Width, 0.0, new Duration(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 0, 500)));

    doubleAnimation1.AccelerationRatio = 0.5;
    doubleAnimation2.DecelerationRatio = 0.5;
    storyBoard.Children.Add(doubleAnimation1);
    storyBoard.Children.Add(doubleAnimation2);
    Storyboard.SetTarget(doubleAnimation1, this.translateTransformLast); //--- this does not work
    //Storyboard.SetTargetName(doubleAnimation1, "translateTransformLast"); -- this works
    Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(doubleAnimation1, new PropertyPath(TranslateTransform.XProperty));
    Storyboard.SetTarget(doubleAnimation2, this.translateTransformNew);//--- this does not work
    //Storyboard.SetTargetName(doubleAnimation2, "translateTransformNew"); -- this works
    Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(doubleAnimation2, new PropertyPath(TranslateTransform.XProperty));
    if (smartContent.LastImage != null)
        storyBoard.Begin();
}

A: I found answer here!
Why don't these animations work when I'm using a storyboard?
Storyboard cant animate TranslateTransform, since it is not UIElement.
This is how i do it now! :)
  Storyboard.SetTarget(doubleAnimation1, this.lastImage);
    Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(doubleAnimation1, new PropertyPath("RenderTransform.(TranslateTransform.X)"));

    Storyboard.SetTarget(doubleAnimation2, this.smartContent);
    Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(doubleAnimation2, new PropertyPath("RenderTransform.(TranslateTransform.X)"));
