Protect-A-Bed Unveils Vision 2018
Protect-A-Bed, an innovator of premier bedding products, welcomed a growing collection of sales representatives, trainers and executives to its annual company conference in Wheeling, Illinois earlier this year. At this event, CEO James Bell recapped an extremely successful 2015 and shared Protect-A-Bed's multi-year objectives – a campaign entitled Vision 2018.
This past year, Protect-A-Bed enjoyed considerable gains in sales and product growth across its three brands: Protect-A-Bed, REM-Fit, and ThermalStrike. Thanks to an expanded and increasingly efficient warehouse, the doubling of drop-ship capabilities and a continued cultivation of new business accounts, the company's annual revenue reached $100,000,000 worldwide, a 15 percent growth from 2014.
"We are extremely grateful to our entire team for working tirelessly in 2015," said Bell. "Year after year, they continue to demonstrate passion, innovation and expertise – the core attributes of our company. The results we saw last year are a testament to the dedication, attention to detail and emphasis on partnership that they show our customers every single day."
Bell shared Vision 2018 to serve as a road map to where he plans Protect-A-Bed will be as a company - both fiscally and culturally - by December 31, 2018. He foresees that the company will continue to be healthy and privately held, led by a professional executive management team focused on strategy and growth. By continuing to add value and honesty to its operations, Protect-A-Bed strives to achieve $100 million in North American sales with another $60 million in international sales within the next 3 years. Bell anticipates that customers will see the company as a great partner who champions Recovery & Sleep Technology expertise.
As a key part of Vision 2018, Protect-A-Bed employees will enjoy an increased focus on the work/life balance. While employee growth and engagement programs will expand exponentially, the company now offers a significant increase in paid time off.
"As a family-owned business that helps people improve the quality of their rest, we understand and appreciate the importance of spending time away from work to recharge and spend time with loved ones," explained Bell. "Ensuring that our entire team has ample opportunity for respite throughout the year is crucial to our success moving forward."
In addition to sharing Vision 2018 with the company, Bell and members of Protect-A-Bed's executive team provided details and training on the expanded line of bedding and accessories that were recently introduced at Las Vegas Market 2016. These include the Originals Collection, Naturals Collection and Therm-A-Sleep Collection; in addition, they introduced the Worlds Smartest Pillow and the REM-Fit Sleep Monitor, a non-wearable sleep tracker which supplements the REM-Fit Active.
"We pride ourselves on continuous innovation so that our consumers can always rely on us for the very best in Recovery & Sleep Technology products," affirmed Bell. "Whether it be pillows that measure heart and respiratory rates or sheets that feel cool to the touch, for example, Protect-A-Bed strives to set industry trends while constantly improving the quality of people's sleep."
The annual meeting closed with a presentation of five excellence awards that highlighted the skills and contributions of the company's top-performing employees. The following were honored:
Jennifer Wright received the Passion Award for her consistent drive for all things Protect-A-Bed.
Stephen Takashima received the Innovation Award for his work-style of continuously thinking outside the box.
Cathy Wold received the Expert Award for her adept company and industry knowledge.
Lian Tan received the Team Player Award for her continued collaboration with coworkers.
Julie Richardson received the Valor Award for commanding and encouraging her surrounding coworkers.
In addition, the company recognized some of its longest-tenured employees. Rita Haney, Miguel Marrero, and Denis Sollinger all celebrated their 10-year anniversary with the company and will be rewarded with a trip to Mexico for themselves and a guest. Fifteen others reached the five-year milestone. Those honorees include: Nuby Arroyo, Warrick Bell, Jared Bell, Linda Bill, Jennifer Casas, Eva Chaney, Sandy Divito, Katie Gayle, Michael Graham, Danny Jones, Tim Kingsbury, Marilu Najera, Cathy Phillips, Julie Richardson and Judy Scalzitti.
In closing, Bell stressed, "At Protect-A-Bed, it's extremely important that we take the time to thank, recognize and congratulate all of those dedicated individuals who make this a successful company. We couldn't be more proud of the top-notch work they do every day."

The Colorado Supreme Court will likely have the last word on Colorado's 2013 ban of rifle and pistol magazines with more than 15 cartridges.
The region stands to gain more from the plan than anywhere else in the state. And thanks to the Dems' supermajority, they'll get it while voting Republican.

Baldwin giving Franken money to women veterans
Posted: November 16, 2017 9:09 PM
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin says she is donating $20,000 her campaign received from Minnesota Sen. Al Franken's political action committee to a group benefiting women veterans in the state.
Baldwin Thursday joined with other Democrats in distancing themselves from Franken amid allegations that he forcibly kissed a woman in 2006. Franken also posted for a photo with his hands on her breasts as she slept.
Baldwin said on MSNBC that "this type of behavior isn't acceptable whether it's from a Democrat or a Republican or an independent."
Baldwin is up for re-election in 2018.
Democratic congressional candidate Randy Bryce was also donating $1,500 he got from Franken to local charities. Bryce is challenging Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan.

You have probably noticed the Oreo ads recently. It is Oreo's first advertising forray into the Irish market where they are putting the Oreo Twist on Dublin Landmarks and events. There are a total of 16 ads in the series, with the 16th being an event or place chosen by a reader of the TheJournal.ie. The event ones, like the one below for the Bram Stoker Festival almost look like Oreo are sponsoring the events, when in fact they aren't, they are just putting an Oreo twist on it.
The ads in the series (a selection of them are below) are all consistent in look and feel and simplicity. There is no mistaking they are from Oreo and as a way to launch the brand above the line in Ireland it feels like a good move.
Of course this is an extension of the hugely successful, Cannes Lions Cyber Grand Prix winning "Daily Twist" campaign which marked OREO's centenary and made the cream-stuffed sandwich a social-media behemoth with incredible real-time culture jacking. There is a nice case study video which I have put at the end of this post for you.
Sadly this isn't a sign of a new advertiser entering the market, the opportunity for Oreo is the result of PHD winning €150,000 of media space in JC Decaux's "Fame – The Agency Edition" competition. I guess what it does go to show is the effectiveness of outdoor.
The work was done by Draftfcb London.
I just hope this means we will start to get some of the decent size packs of Oreos in the irish market now!

Amtrak Unveils Its Vision For 2040: Travel From D.C. To New York City In 96 Minutes : The Two-Way In Philadelphia today, Amtrak's president presented an optimistic view of what high-speed rail could look like in 2040.
In Philadelphia today, Amtrak unveiled "A Vision for High-Speed Rail in the Northeast Corridor." There's plenty of stuff to swoon over -- or daydream about: Washington to New York City in 96 minutes?! Manhattan to Boston in 84 minutes?!
...high-speed train ridership would approach 18 million passengers with room to accommodate up to 80 million annually as demand increases in the years and decades that follow. Departures of high-speed trains would expand from an average of one to four per hour in each direction, with additional service in the peak periods, and total daily high-speed rail departures would increase from 42 today to as many as 148 in 2040.
The service would generate an annual operating surplus of approximately $900 million and its construction would create more than 40,000 full-time jobs annually over a 25-year construction period to build the new track, tunnels, bridges, stations, and other infrastructure.
Again, it sounds good. But is it feasible?
Matt Yglesias says that the plan's price tag -- $117 billion -- "highlights the central problem with our current approach to rail."
The Obama administration's high-speed rail initiative is not only pretty stingy, it's also spread incredibly thin because that's what you get when you need to frame initiatives that can be approved by a congress based on representing distinct geographical areas. Any kind of national legislation that would raise $117 billion for northeast rail service would need to also spend a ton of money on rail service elsewhere in the country where the case for massive investment is much weaker. We're essentially destined to be perennially under-investing in the northeast corridor and a handful of promising city pairs (Tampa-Orlando, Portland-Seattle) scattered around the country while sporadically over-investing elsewhere.

Back in 2002, a mother living on Maui was not satisfied with the baby carrying options available to her. With that humble design, Karin Frost revolutionized how we carry babies. Her soft structured carrier (SSC) design has become the gold standard. Their carriers give you the freedom to enjoy life's big and small adventures, all while keeping baby close. Ergobaby Carriers are ergonomically designed to cradle your baby in a natural sitting position and to evenly distribute baby's weight between your hips and shoulders. Ergobaby Carriers are the ultimate in comfort and ergonomics, allowing you to carry your baby from those early days to toddler.


The power button is located on the upper left section of the button display panel. To see if the power is on, make sure that the green circular light is blinking. If its not lit, the device is "off" and you must press the power button to turn on the device.
Unplug the power cord from the rear of the printer while the printer is running and from the wall outlet. Wait at least 15-20 seconds, and then plug the cable back into the wall outlet and then the printer.
If the device does not scan your document, make sure you have installed the full version of the printer software on your computer (the basic version will not allow the printer to scan). When you must have purchased your printer/scanner / fax/copier, it must have come with a compact disc that you must have used to install the software and printer drivers on the computer. Continue to follow HP's step-by-step instructions to download and install the software and "Full Function" drivers suitable for your computer.
If there is Microsoft Paint program, you can use this to scan the documents. Go to the Start Menu and start the Paint program. Click on the main drop-down menu located in the upper left corner, then select "From the scanner or camera." In Windows 7, a small window titled "Scan with "HP PSC 2355 Printer Error" will open. Select this option alternatively to test and run your scanner.
If the paper is jammed in the printer, do not pull paper from the front of the printer, as this may damage the paper feed roller. The feed roller is designed to move only in one direction. Instead of pulling out the paper from the paper tray, the jammed paper should be removed from the back of the printer. Press the tab to the right. The door should turn towards you and to the right. Open the door and separate it from the printer. You should be able to see the jammed paper. Gently remove the paper from the feed rollers by pulling it toward you.


Two men have been injured during a home invasion at Lake Macquarie at the weekend.
Police have been told two men, dressed in black and armed with a baseball bat and crowbar, forced their way into a home on Harrison Street, Cardiff, about 11pm yesterday (Sunday 17 March 2019).
They assaulted two men, aged 41 and 46, before fleeing in a vehicle.
Officers from the Lake Macquarie Police District and NSW Ambulance paramedics arrived a short time later and established a crime scene.
The men were taken to John Hunter Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to come forward.


When planning change, questions arise about who will probably be impacted by these changes. Which business companies might be offline as a result of server or router upkeep? Who does the IT group need to notify concerning the impending upkeep, which business homeowners shall be impacted? With a service-aligned method, IT is aware of which enterprise house owners to alert forward of time and to keep up to date on status.

Q: how to declare variable using typeinfo.name C++ I love coding, and generally do so in Python due to its simplicity and power.
However, for some time critical programs/tasks, I use C++.
Therefore, to get best of both worlds, I am making a Pythonesque list in C++.
AIM: I would like to be able to add any variable or value of any data type, including classes user has defined.
To do this, I have a structure item with a char * value, a char * type and an int size.
My List has an array of these item * s.

Now, I have taken the variable in a template function:
template<class T> item * encode(const T& var);
and declared a pointer to item item * i = new item;
And, I have stored the values of these variables as c style strings.
For example, 14675 in binary is 0000 0000 0000 0000 0011 1001 0101 0011
Therefore, I have dynamically created space, like so:
i->size = sizeof(var);
i->value = new char[i->size];     //4 in this case
 and set each bit in value with respective bits in var.
I have also stored their types as
i->type = typeinfo(var).name();
So far so good!

Now, I am stuck with auto decode(item * i) -> decltype(/*What goes here???*/)
How do I specify the return type of the function?
Is there any possible way?
Preferably using the i->type?
Or, should I make changes in the basic design of this process?
Thanks in advance!

A: Answering your question

I would like to be able to add any variable or value of any data type, including classes user has defined.

Without cooperation from the user that's impossible in C++.
Remember that C++ types are a compile-time concept only. They do not exist at runtime. The only type information available at runtime is the thin layer of RTTI provided by typeid(). Runtime duck-typing like in Python is not possible.
You can create a container of arbitrary objects quite easily.
std::vector<std::any> v;  // requires C++17

However the user of that container has to know what index contains what type:
if (v[0].type() == typeid(ArbitraryUserType)) {
    const auto& item = std::any_cast<ArbitraryUserType>(v[0]);
    // work on item ...
}

Because of the compile-time nature of types you as the library writer cannot perform that any_cast. It has to be spelled out in the user's source code.
In general, don't try to shoehorn a pythonic mindset into C++. It never ends well, especially when you try to circumvent one of the most basic foundations of C++: its powerful static type system.
Notes:

*

*Without C++17 you could use boost::any.

*If you know the list of possible types at compile-time std::vector<std::variant<Type1, Type2, etc>> is a good alternative. With any the user is fully responsible to keep track of their types. Because all type checks happen at runtime the compiler cannot help. Variant on the other hand brings back a large chunk of the compile-time safety. And again there's boost::variant as a non-C++17 alternative.

Notes on your encoding approach
Basically you're trying to serialize (encode) and deserialize (decode) arbitrary types.  Without cooperation from those types, that's not possible.
Your approach only works for trivial types that can be copied bit by bit. C++ even has a type trait for that: std::is_trivially_copyable. In the end you support fundamental types and C-style structs of those, but nothing else.
Imagine the T for your encode() function was std::string. Simply put a std::string contains a pointer to a separately allocated piece of memory where the actual string data is stored. The string object itself is just a managing wrapper for that pointer. encode() only serializes the wrapper object, but not the pointed-to memory block with the actual data.
Even if during deserialization you could instantiate arbitrary types from a stream of bits, the stream is not complete. What you'd have to implement is a C++ version of Python's copy.deepcopy, which is impossible without cooperation from each type. Have a look at a C++ serialization library – take Cereal as a straight-forward example – to see how that cooperation can look in practice.

Conrad Wolfram
"We have two kinds of math in the world. The first is in the real world that is a problem-solving subject that is as important as it's never been in world's history to every aspect of our lives. Then there's this math in school that's completely or increasingly disconnected from that. It's that difference in the subject matter that I think is the focus we absolutely need to be honest when we talk about this.
What we're mostly talking about in my view is 80% the wrong subject." (Conrad Wolfram)
Conrad Wolfram, physicist, mathematician, and technologist, is the Strategic Director and European Co-Founder/CEO of the Wolfram group of companies. Described as the place where "Computation meets Knowledge" and "The Math Company," the Wolfram Group specializes in pushing boundaries at the intersection of computation, math, and knowledge including making mathematics software, the Wolfram/Alpha knowledge engine (powering knowledge answers for Apple's Siri) and the Wolfram Finance Platform. For more than 20 years, Conrad Wolfram's business and technical leadership has been central to the rise, spread, and democratization of high-level computation. He is also the world's leading advocate for a fundamental shift of math education to be computer-based, laying out the rationale and roadmap in his 2010 TED talk and founding of computerbasedmath.org. He was educated at Eton College and the University of Cambridge, UK.

And it's not just the native speakers who can enjoy your content thanks to Marathi subtitles—they're also a boon to the various learners of this rich language. In fact, a Marathi learner who also speaks the original language of your video content can turn the viewing experience into an informative Marathi studying session.
Additionally, not all Marathi speakers necessarily "speak" the language—those who are deaf or hard of hearing have a much more difficult time accessing materials than Marathi speakers without hearing impairments. But if you add Marathi SRT subtitles to your video content, you make it accessible to those with and without hearing impairments alike. Marathi SRT files are an excellent way to increase the accessibility of your message to all—and we can even create Marathi closed captions if you want to cater to the hard-of-hearing community even further. Don't forget that even those without hearing impairments can't always use audio, either, so Marathi SRT files help reach this audience as well.
Get subtitles in India's third-biggest language, Marathi.
India has a population of over 1 billion, but it's also one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world. Around 100 million people speak India's third-biggest language, Marathi, which comes from the Indo-European language family, like Hindi—and English. It's spoken mostly in the Indian states of Maharashtra (home to Mumbai) and Goa, and it's written in a slightly modified version of the Devanagari script, the script used for Hindi.
One must exercise utmost care when translating from English to Marathi, since the vast differences between the languages can lead to translation errors. That's why our Marathi subtitling translators are careful to understand the full context of a script, allowing them to overcome grammatical challenges in Marathi. For example, Marathi has two words for "we"—one of them includes the listener, while the other explicitly excludes them. Marathi verbs are also highly complicated, with extensive inflection for tense, aspect, and person.
We're here to provide high-quality Marathi subtitling services.
If you want Marathi SRT files you can rely on, turn to our Marathi subtitling team. We've carefully scouted our Marathi subtitle translators from all over Maharashtra and Goa, selecting the best, most experienced translators in the industry. Don't fret if your script contains esoteric language or slang terms—we can match you to the Marathi translator best suited to provide SRT files for your project. Quality is our undying mission in our Marathi subtitling services.
No matter what kind of video content you're making—from creative videos, films, and TV series to informative documentaries or commercial presentations—our Marathi subtitling team promises reliable Marathi SRT files to help you connect with the people of Maharashtra and Goa.

You are hearing the factory surge valve blowing off. It releases back pressure to the turbo.
thanks for the reply - we all appriciate your sharing of knowledge on cars - so that sound was hidden by the baffle i took out ? does that mean the pressure valve dumps air back into the tube in reverse order and the sound was mufflered out . anyway , if it is a normal functional sound that is suppose to happen it is fine to hear it by me . even though i opened the pathway to the turbo significantly ( i used a dremel with some cutting tips and grinding tips, then sanded and polished to a smooth bore ) it still has a choke point of about 1 3/4 " in two areas , but i think this is better than a 1 3/8 " full running 6 inch muffler ( i learned this from port designing in speaker building) . but he bottom line is THE CAR IS ( seems to be ) more stronger and better boost power - PS hoe\w long does it take for the computer to adjust for mods and does your style of driving ( engaging the boost alot ) affect computer programing ?
It's not hard to make a turbo to airbox hose. The hose starts out at 3" and tapers down to 2 1/2" so you haven't really opened it up enough. I made mine. Or you can but the hose from a guy who makes them.


The forearm balance/pincha mayurasana/peacock pose is a difficult asana for many people. One must overcome pride, bodily fear, fear of not completing the pose, fear of not being able to do the right thing, fear of showing weakness.
In the headstand, that which has been rooted in the Earth becomes rooted in Heaven. The nourishment that came from eh Earth is now supplied by greater forces from above. You might start thinking: "What would happen if my life were turned upside down?" Standing on the head brings clarity of mind, not only in regard to emotions but also speech. As you learn balance and courage in the practice of this posture, realize that the pressure you feel in the asana is your own body and that the burdens in life are your own. It is not your task to carry the weights of, or the responsibility for, anyone else. What are your burdens? What is the psychological implication of looking at them from a different perspective?
Because of the inverted posture, the blood rushed to the head, nourishing the brain, supplying extra oxygen. Having your head on the ground, well rooted, means having an intellect that is well developed and practical. Your feet are rooted in Heaven instead of Earth, inspiration will stand the test of practical application and increased intuitive perception will help you to meet new complex situations. To place the head, the seat of the intellect, on the ground, is symbolic for humility. Raising the feet in the air is surrendering the security of the Earth. Removing oneself from one's firm foundation, that it demands full attention to maintain.
This mantra is about loving everyone in this world.


Qatar To Leave OPEC As Of January 1st, 2019 4.5 out of 5 based on 2 ratings. 2 user reviews.
On December 3rd, Qatar announced its plan to quit the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) as of January 1st after being a member for over 60 years to focus on natural gas production.
The country's state oil company, Qatar Petroleum, made the announcement in a series of tweets.
"The withdrawal decision reflects Qatar's desire to focus its efforts on plans to develop and increase its natural gas production," Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the country's newly-appointed minister of state for energy affairs was cited.
Qatar has been subject to a diplomatic and economic embargo by its neighbors, including OPEC members Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for the past 18 months. As a response, the country has been increasing gas production.
In 2011, reserves of natural gas in Qatar were measured at approximately 896 trillion cubic feet (25.4 trillion cubic metres), or 14% of all known natural-gas reserves in the world. They are the third largest, following Russia and Iran. In 2006, Qatar reportedly surpassed Indonesia to become the largest exporter of LNG in the world. Its exports currently account for about 30% of global demand.
OPEC has no role in the global natural gas market, and Qatar made no reference to the dispute with its neighbors in the announcement.
Qatar is not a major producer in OPEC, especially compared to Iraq and Saudi Arabia. It pumps about 600,000 barrels of oil a day out of more than 27 million from all OPEC members.
Despite Al-Kaabi's claims that Doha did not make the decision due to the blockade, experts believe that it may be the underlying reason.
"More than anything, we suspect that Qatar's withdrawal from OPEC has been spurred by its ongoing dispute with Saudi Arabia and its allies," Jason Tuvey, Capital Economics' senior emerging markets economist was cited by Al Jazeera.
"Qatar sought to reduce its exposure to Saudi oil policy and Saudi Arabia generally since the 1990s when the two countries first clashed over border disputes.Today, in light of the Saudi-led blockade against Doha, ensuring Qatar's natural gas industry is independent of Saudi decision making on oil is all the more pressing," Amy Myers Jaffe, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations told Al Jazeera.
Ellen Wald, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Global Energy Center claimed that Qatar's departure might be a bad sign, as oil policy becomes more concentrated in the hands of Saudi Arabia and non-OPEC member Russia. Naturally, Atlantic Council fellows miss no chance to attack Russia, even if a situation may not be related to the country.
In an article published on OilPrice.com, Dr. Cyril Widdershoven criticized Qatar's "illogical decision" to leave OPEC.
There is still a lot unclear regarding why Qatar made the decision. According to its energy minister it was to focus on its gas production. Other versions come down to speculation.
OPEC was created to protect producing countries' interests against the large oil corporations. Before OPEC they basically produced for free for 7 sisters (even now if you add the price of crude, refining, shipment, etc., the price which you pay for oil-derived energy and products is much higher than it should be). Based on OPEC's charter, all decisions must be unanimous, all must agree or there's no decision. Not anymore.
Qatar has problems with KSA but perhaps their decision to leave OPEC is not because of blockade.
The problem that most of small producers in OPEC have is the strategy of increase and decrease in production and the recent decision making process of OPEC and OPEC+, where three countries (the US, KSA and Russia, all acting according to the US viewpoints on the market and their anticipation of it's production rate, decide for all (countries like UAE, Kuwait, to a degree Iraq and non-OPEC Oman follow Saudis anyway. These 7 countries produce more than %50 of all crude production).
When decided to increase the oil flow, most of increase disproportionately went to a couple of countries, but now that they decide to lower the production, they ask everybody to decrease, while a fair decision would be to decrease based on the percentage of increase. That is a source of concern for smaller members as it heavily affects their income for the worse.
Qatar although is the first OPEC member besides it's founders (Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela) is not a major crude exporter and their leave is more of a symbolic move as 500-600 k bpd will not affect the market much, but it shows a crack in the organization and there is a possibility that some other members that are kept from the decision-making process (the whole idea behind OPEC) may follow.
Nice comment. Out of interest, have you ever watched the 7 sisters video; well worth watching…it basically tells you the history of the Oil & Gas industry (mainly in the ME) + the hell due it it.
Thank you. I bookmarked the video to check it out.
It sounds like the Saudis were using OPEC to give Qatar problems, but this may have benefits or back lash. OPEC set production quotas to keep prices stable and reduce competition between states. Which means if it's removed we may have some healthy competition, where all states try to produce as efficiently as possible to please the buyers (good for fuel prices). Or we may have extreme competition where both sides intentionally sabotage the other's production and sale (seriously, don't put that past these guys).
Like a politician who quits to "spend more time with family", you can be certain that there is more to the story.
OPEC was an American idea, to formalize all oil sales in US dollars.

Focus on Arab Women Filmmakers
This week at the Cannes International Film Festival an announcement was made to unveil a new scholarship program aimed at helping more Arab women becomes filmmakers.
AP reported: "The Hani Farsi Graduate Scholarship Fund will pay for three aspiring filmmakers to study directing at the University of California at Los Angeles' School of Theater, Film and Television.
"The first recipients are scheduled to begin master's degree studies in September through the program, a partnership between UCLA and the Mohamed S. Farsi Foundation.
"Film producer Hani Farsi, who set up the charitable foundation named for his Saudi philanthropist father, said Tuesday that the program was the 'first step in a call to action, which we hope will lead to a positive change for women in the film industry and in my part of the world'."
The same article also pointed out that femme directors are rare in the global industry as well, with only two of the 19 feature films competing for the Palme d'Or at Cannes this year made by women.
According to the entertainment trade paper Variety, "while a number of Arab female directors have come to the fore in recent years – such as Saudi Arabia's Haifa Al-Mansour ("Wadjda"), who is on the Un Certain Regard jury in Cannes, and Lebanon's Nadine Labaki ("Where Do We Go Now") – Arab women certainly face more barriers to becoming filmmakers than their male counterparts in the region".
Nadine Labaki, who first shot to international fame with her debut film "Caramel" (2007), is also serving on the juryfor Un Certain Regard this year. The Independent wrote in part about "Caramel": "A touching comedy set in a Beirut hairdressing salon, it revolved around the lives of five women, aged between 20 and 60…Labaki took the lead role and won rave reviews for her work on both sides of the camera." The newspaper continued: "Now she's back, starring in her follow-up, 'Where Do We Go Now?', which takes the soap-opera feel of 'Caramel' and turns it into Greek tragedy, including the odd choral song".
Last month fans were set abuzz when Hollywood star Salma Hayek, on a press junket to Beirut, "hinted in passing that she may have a project in the works" with Labaki, according to The Daily Star.
The UK's BFI celebrated Arab women filmmakers with a special program at the 2013 Birds Eye View Film Festival. At that time creative director Kate Gerova stated: "We decided to have this focus because of all the films we've seen emerging from the Arab world over the past couple of years. What we noticed was that a lot of the films winning the top prizes in the festivals in the region were by women. And also, in this year's Berlinale, you had 'Coming Forth by Day', by Hala Lotfy, you had 'When I Saw You', by Annemarie Jacir… It just seemed like a kind of explosion of female talent, and we wanted to celebrate that."

New Amazon Echo and Ring products include flying security camera and smarter Alexa
Huge hardware launch sees new Echo speakers and displays, plus a game streaming service and a home security drone
Like GearBrain on Facebook
Alistair Charlton
Amazon unveiled a huge new range of products at its annual hardware event on Thursday, including new Echo smart speakers and displays, a video game streaming platform called Luna, and a flying indoor security camera from Ring.
As has become annual tradition for the retail giant, Amazon rattled through the new products at breakneck speed. But, while some products are due on sale imminently, others won't arrive until some time in 2021.
How to get started with Amazon Alexa: A complete guide
Which smart speaker and display is right for you? 18 options for 2020
Amazon first updated the cornerstones of its smart home empire, with a new range of Echo smart speakers. Featuring a new spherical design, the range includes a compact Echo Dot and Echo Dot with Clock, followed by the regular Echo, now in its fourth generation. All models include Amazon's new AZ1 Neural Edge, a custom processor designed to accelerate machine learning applications, and make Alexa more responsive.
New Echo smart speaker has a more intelligent AlexaAmazon
Amazon also announced how Alexa can now hold more natural conversations with its users, be taught and learn from its mistakes, and speak in a more natural way, placing emphasis on certain words and taking more pauses while speaking. A demonstration showed how Alexa can be invited into a conversation taking place between two people, then understand what the conversion is about and how the assistant can help out.
The regular Echo now gets Zigbee smart home support for the first time (as the feature was previously reserved for the pricier Echo Plus). Speaking of price, the new Echo is $99.99 (£89.99), while the smaller Echo Dot is $49.99 (£49.99) and the Echo Dot with Clock is $59.99 (£59.99). They go on sale in late-October.
Amazon also revealed the new $249.99 (£239.99) Echo Show 10, a 10-inch, HD smart display with the new, smarter Alexa and, for the first time, a motor allowing it to turn around. That way, the display and camera can point at you when you are either watching content on the screen, or having a video call over Skype or Zoom. The device turns and zooms to keep you in shot.
New Echo Show 10 smart display turns to follow youAmazon
Next came the biggest surprise of the day – a new Ring security camera that is attached to an autonomous drone. The device is designed to take off and fly on a predetermined route around your home while you are away, acting as a roving security camera. It then docks when you return (or when the battery needs to charge), at which point the camera is switched off and blocked by the dock.
Called the Ring Always Home Cam, the drone has a price of $249.99 and Amazon says it will go on sale at some point in 2021. Once the drone, which records in 1080p Full HD, has been taught the layout of your home, it can be asked to show you the view of certain rooms. For example, you can open the Ring app and ask the drone to check up on the kitchen, and it will fly to that part of the home.
The drone can fly on demand, or take off automatically when a disturbance is detected by your Ring Alarm home security system. As well as security, it can be used to check if you left the stove on, or a window open, while away from home.
The Ring Always Home Cam is a flying indoor security cameraAmazon
Today Amazon also announced a new in-car security camera called the Ring Car Cam. This sits on the dashboard and faces inwards, offering a view of the interior of your car. This is viewable through the Ring app while your vehicle is parked, and the camera connects to the OBD-II port. It will then alert you if a potential break-in is detected, and start recording.
It also has a mode for recording when a crash is detected, and when the driver is pulled over by the police. The command: "Alexa, I'm being pulled over" will cause the camera to start recording footage to the cloud. To arrive in 2021, the camera is priced at $60.
Finally, Amazon this week announced Luna, a video game streaming service very similar to Google Stadia. Costing $6 a month Luna works on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux, plus through Amazon's Fire TV streaming sticks. An optional, Alexa-enabled gamepad is also available for $50, but isn't required to use Luna.
Amazon's new Luna is a streaming video game service to take on Google StadiaAmazon
Interestingly, the controller is connected to the cloud through Wi-Fi instead of to the Fire TV Stick, Mac or PC by Bluetooth. This, Amazon says, cuts input latency by between 17 and 30 milliseconds, a crucial win to help streaming video games succeed over traditional consoles.
Amazon says Luna will have access to over 100 games, with launch titles including Resident Evil 7, Control, Panzer Dragoon, GRID, Abzu and many more. Select titles will work at up to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second.

Top 10 Series: Ryan Chambers Edition (@iPrezTLKT)
Posted on January 21, 2013 by Demarcus 'Doc' Robinson
I know it's been a while but we finally have number 10 of the Top 10 Series, and it brings us blogger, music lover, hard worker and entrepreneur Ryan Chambers ( @iPrezTLKT). The TLKT part of his Twitter handle represents his blog, The Lowkey Truth which focuses on music, fashion and a few other things. Ryan explains his take on success, making connections, dropping out of college, Chief Keef and the violence that plagues Chicago and some of its surrounding suburbs. I met Ryan while attending Northern Illinois University. He showed an interest in journalism and came to work with me and others at our independent student run newspaper the Northern Star. He showed himself to be bright and easy going and those are reasons he's one of my favorite people to follow on Twitter.
My questions will be in bold, and his answers will be in plain text.
@IprezTLKT
It's been a long hiatus for Slightly Factual. Did you think your interview would ever come to fruition?
Honestly no, [lol]. I knew you were a busy guy and thought you may have forgotten about me.
Ha, well I'm glad you were still up for it. Let's get into it. How would you describe your style of tweeting?
I would describe the way I tweet as a mix of a resume of my work, as well as watching me grow as a person and just general entertainment.
Is your tweeting style different now as opposed to a year or two ago?
Would you care to elaborate?
For me personally I've been tweeting for about three years now. When I first started I was a sophomore in college with no titles to his name. Now I am a 22 year old full-time employee in the city of Chicago. You have to tweet according to how people perceive you. If you are a college student you can tweet as such and maybe use a little more profanity and what not, but when you hold multiple titles and use your twitter account to promote yours and the work of others you cannot tweet the same anymore.
What role does Twitter play in your everyday life?
A pretty big one [lol]. For me, I use twitter to promote a lot of different things: people's music, art, videos, etc and the biggest way to keep people relevant to a mass of people without being face to face is Twitter, so I am constantly tweeting links, trying to link people up via Twitter. One day off could be the one day somebody checks your Twitter for a major opportunity.
Ryan with singer Jhene Aiko at NIU.
You tweet a lot about success and trying to obtain your own definition of it. Could you describe your vision of success for us?
I think you define what your own definition of success is. For me success is measured by goals that I set for myself. I personally set short term and long term goals for myself. If I can see my short term goals all the way through they will inevitably lead me to seeing my long term goals accomplished as well.
Now with success the vision is different for many and so is the road to get there. For some the road includes college for various reason, and for others no college. For you it seems to lie in the middle seeing as how you dropped out, but furthered your career. How did this happened and how has it been going?
I've always been sort of a rebel. Once I had an idea of what I wanted to do in life I started taking steps to get to that and for me it didn't include college. After getting my base and a lot of experience at NIU I felt like I wasn't progressing in life at the rate I wanted, and I needed more real world experience. So I dropped out, got a full time job doing work similar to my major in college but not quite what I want for a career. I got my own place in the city and after a year I am now preparing myself to quit that job and begin working for myself full-time.
Sometimes it's about who you know, and you seem to be well connected. How have you gone about linking up with various individuals as well as fostering those relationships?
College! As much as I joke about hating school and being against the traditional education, college is definitely where I established myself and my network. You can talk about how you met this person and that person, but really it all comes down to the desire and want to connect and build with people. I love conversing and just genuinely getting to know new people and thankfully that gift has opened up some doors for me. Its one thing to know a lot of people, but its another to have a genuine relationship with them.
Ryan with rap group Travis Porter at NIU.
Speaking of relationships many of yours appear to be musically related, and you have mutual friends with Chief Keef. I know you've mainly been supportive because you wanted to see him do something positive with his opportunity. What are your thoughts on what he has or hasn't done?
[Lol,] man I can go on for hours about Keef and his public perception but that's another conversation. Long story short I feel like Keef is exactly what you would expect from a 17 year old inner city youth who has had his fair share of life challenges and is now a multimillionaire with the nation's eye on him. You're going to get a lot of of learning and growing. Just last year he was a broke teen with a newborn! So how can we expect for him to act as a 25 year old grown man? He is going to make mistakes because he is not that far removed from his old life yet. I feel as though in three to four years we will see him learn from past mistakes and establish himself as somewhat of a staple in the hip hop club music/drill scene.
What do you think about his current situation?
I think it was to be expected. Like I said, when you give a Chicago teen a couple million dollars and a lot of fame he is going to think he is untouchable for a while…until reality punches him in the face. He has a lot of good people in his corner giving him advice so this is not the end of the world. But if after these two months he comes out and shows no remorse and nothing changes then that could be bad.
How do you feel about the various reactions to his music and persona, as well as some wanting him, a 17 yr old , to should all of Chicago's violent ills?
It's terrible. I think the biggest thing is the overwhelming majority of publications and people who comment and write about Keef have absolutely no idea about the type of life he comes from. To blame a 17 year old for the 30 year challenges of a city is pathetic and a cop out in my opinion. What Keef comes from is a culture, a culture that many in this city completely ignore, yet is the cause of all these violence issues. Stop pointing fingers and fix the communities.
Does it bother you that Chicago's other musical offerings have been overshadowed in favor of the drill scene?
Not necessarily. I think the public is just more intrigued by the drill scene. It's a type of music that most people haven't heard so it's new, it's different. I think we can all agree that this nation loves violence and that trickles down to the music scene as well. In the end any exposure is good exposure, so although the drill scene is reigning supreme right now, it has been established that Chicago breeds an array of different types of music and that will begin to show more over the years.
Staying with violence, you are no stranger to its effects. You've known those that fell victim to it or were in some way connected to others you didn't personally know. How has this affected your view on what's happening in Chicago and some of it's surrounding suburbs?
Man it's really just numbing. When you watch friend after friend die and hear about people you knew personally die damn near every month it really numbs your emotions. It makes you not want to care about what's going on in the world because with every person that you hear dying it brings back the same feelings and emotions from when you experienced that pain. Each situation differs from the other, but a lot of these murders and violence stem from similar issues.
You're working on a documentary that aims to take a close look at the violence in and around Chicago called "The Chicago Complex". When did you first get the idea to put this in motion?
Pardon my french, but I've been through some shit in my life. I've seen people get killed, been close to death multiple times myself, but for me to now have my own apartment, a full time job and most importantly my health just shows you can make it through tough times and challenges in life. I'm not saying I completely know what the problem is for Chicago and all of this violence, but I do understand it. When you take away a man's means to provide for his family and don't educate him on alternative methods to provide, you get violence…period. I have always wanted to make a documentary, just was never sure on a topic that would sustain my attention enough for a project of that magnitude, but once I moved home, got my life together and most importantly moved back into the city, I felt that I had to do something to do my part and try to make a change.
You lost a friend, Steven Agee, to gun violence in your presence and at your former apartment. How did this tragic event impact your decision to make "The Chicago Complex"?
Even though it happened in DeKalb it was all too similar to situations I had seen or been through before. You see and hear things and want to do something about it, but for whatever reason it never really comes into existence. But when it happens to someone in your circle that you've known for a while it cuts a lot deeper. Makes you want to do something about it anyway you can NOW.
What do you want people to take away from your project?
To just THINK. I want there to be change in Chicago, but before you can change a situation you must first fully understand it. I may not know all the answers, but I can for sure provide you some insight as to what the issue is through the testimonies of the people who deal with it everyday on all levels of the social status. When you know better, you do better.
What do you hope to take away from this film experience?
Personally I want to be able to legitimately make a difference while showing my creative abilities through film. The people I will meet and connect with through this film will be the best part, but also the opportunities for community work and possibly other film opportunities that this film will bring will be an added bonus.
What's the expected release date?
Putting together a documentary is not easy. A lot of factors are needed for it to go smoothly, so in an ideal world summer 2013. Realistically fall 2013, early 2014.
Was this enjoyable for you, and can we expect you back at Slightly Factual in the future?
Definitely! Demarcus the man, son. Anyway I can help him better his career while also gaining a little exposure for myself is awesome. Thanks for having me!
No problem, thanks for taking the time to do this Q & A.

Stoubach (en luxembourgeois : Stubbech) est un hameau de la commune belge de Burg-Reuland situé en Communauté germanophone de Belgique et Région wallonne dans la province de Liège.

Avant la fusion des communes de 1977, Stoubach faisait partie de la commune de Reuland.

Le hameau compte 24 habitants.

Situation
Hameau frontalier, Stoubach se situe sur la rive gauche et le versant occidental de la vallée de l'Our entre Weweler implanté au nord et en amont et Oberhausen plus au sud et en aval. L'Our sert de frontière entre la Belgique et l'Allemagne. Un pont y franchit cette rivière et conduit au hameau allemand de Stupbach (commune de Lützkampen) implanté sur la rive opposée.

Loisirs
Le sentier de grande randonnée 5 passe dans le hameau.

On trouve un hôtel sur la rive allemande et des gîtes du côté belge.

This lesson will show you how to create a stack with a window shape. All you will need for this is a png image with transparent sections. In this case I am going to use a large application icon to create a great looking little desktop widget.
5) choose the file you downloaded.
This will bring up an image chooser dialog allowing you to browse to your file. 'Import As Control' does exactly what it says, it create a new control on your stack with the data of your image in it.
Move your mouse over the stack you are working with, and press Enter. "The mousestack" returns the stack that your mouse is currently hovering over and is a great command to use when working with the message box.
You'll notice that your window also still has an outline. To remove that, open the Stack Inspector from the Object menu (1), and uncheck "shadow" (2).
A window shape removes all window controls from your stack. You are presented with a key problem: How do I move my stack now that the title bar is gone? Select your window, then click on the Code editor icon in the toolbar.
Click Apply. Now switch to run mode, and you should be able to drag your window around the screen using your mouse.
Next: How do I Send Messages During A Drag Operation?
I don't seem to have an image file that contains the image shown in this demo. I have looked in the Rev file and can not locate any such file. Can you please advise where I might look.
I have attached an example image file to the lesson.
I had to close LiveCode and restart it. No worries.
yes you can get unexpected result if the mouse cursor is not exactly over the stack you are trying to change.
Thanks for this. This is great stuff!
when I run the move script my window shoots off somewhere and I can't get it back. Any ideas why this is happening?
that is an interesting one. I can only assume there is a bug in your code.
I would suggest putting some logging information into your mouseMove handler, rather than letting it move your application. Maybe you can make some sense of the information that is coming in there first. The application should follow the move of the mouse and not have a mind of its own.
Why can't I use this simpler code?
You could use that code, and it would work, but the movement of stack will appear jerkier and does not keep up with with the position of the mouse as well. The mouseStillDown messages is sent periodically so, usually, it is easier and more efficient to use the mouseMove message to track the movement of the mouse while the mouse button is being held down.


You can't spend time in Spanish Wells and not enjoy the stay. The dockmaster at Spanish Wells Yacht Haven is the local concierge and can provide boaters with about anything they might need. We rented a golf cart from there for the day and split the cost between ourselves and another cruising couple making it very inexpensive. This is a great way to reprovision and restock without carrying bags full of supplies and equipment for blocks from the store to the boat. We took the ferry to Harbour Island one day, and rented a car that our concierge arranged and drove south through Eleuthera another. We also walked the beautiful beaches along the north shore of St. Georges Cay and enjoyed all that the settlement of Spanish Wells had to offer. But it was time to move on and we looked forward to getting into the Abacos. The weather wasn't totally to blame; we had some perfect days with sunshine and light winds. The biggest, and I do mean biggest, hold up was the 8- to 9-foot seas in the Northeast Providence Channel between Spanish Wells and Little Harbor in the Abacos. But the seas couldn't stay up forever.
It felt good to finally leave Nassau. The forecast wasn't great, but if we didn't move, we would be in Nassau for another week. We topped up the fuel tanks at Nassau Harbor Club because the diesel was only $5.74 a gallon, pretty good for Bahamas prices. It was about 9:30 AM and the sun was just beginning to get high enough for us to use eyeball navigation around the many patch reefs at the east end of the harbor, but more importantly, to navigate the numerous coral heads we would encounter crossing the Yellow Banks. Some of these heads are only a few feet below the surface and could do serious damage to a prop. With the sun overhead, clear skies and reasonably flat seas, they are easy to pick out. They appear as a bark blob in the water surrounded by white sand. There are many of these on the section known as the Yellow Banks, only a short distance from Nassau. The conditions weren't perfect - there were some clouds and it was a bit choppy, but all in all, doable. Once we reached Porgy Rock, it was a straight line to our destination at Highbourne Cay.

Richard Strauss, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Zubin Mehta - Also Sprach Zarathustra album FLAC
Richard Strauss Romantic US
Performer: Richard Strauss
Title: Also Sprach Zarathustra
Formats: APE VOX WMA AUD WAV AC3 MPC
Zubin Mehta's amazing 1968 recording for Decca of Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra has been reissued for this sonic spectacular from Lim, and the results of the label's K2 HD mastering are simply astonishing. Bearing in mind that this was an exceptional analog recording in the first place, and that the conversion process has preserved the performance's radiant ambience and resonance, this recording sounds just as clear and deep as any Super Audio CD or audio DVD would, but with the difference that the sound is just as warm as any LP.
Composed By – Richard Strauss. Conductor – Zubin Mehta. Liner Notes – E. C. Stone. Orchestra – Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. Violin – David Frisina. Made in England By The Decca Record Co. Ltd. London. Wide-band" black labels with silver lettering.
Originally recorded in 1968 with Zubin Mehta and featuring the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra "Also Sprach Zarathustra" is guaranteed to make or break your audiophile sound system. This music written by Richard Strauss and based on Nietzsche's famous book of the same name has been used in various movies including: "2001 A Space Odyssey". 1. Also sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spoke Zoroaster), tone poem for orchestra, Op. 30 (TrV 176): Prelude (Sonnenaufgang). 2. 30 (TrV 176): Von den Hinterweltiern. 3. 30 (TrV 176): Von der großen Sehnsucht. 4. 30 (TrV 176): Von den Freuden und Leidenschaften.
Richard Strauss was musically influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche's writings. He greatly admired his philosophy, particularly the theory of 'Superman'. He believed in it. This belief led him to portray musically the lives of many superheroes and mostly it was he (autobiographical) in the garb of those heroes. These include Don Juan, Don Quixote, Till Eulenspiegel, Ein Heldenleben and Also Sprach Zarathustra. He started writing this magnificent symphonic poem on 4th February 1896 and completed it on 24th August the same year. I make a special mention of an extra ordinary performance by Zubin Mehta leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1969. David Frisina played the solo violin with aplomb. As a Zoroastrian, Zubin Mehta has grasped the entire content of Nietzsche and Strauss. He is a Parsi and has delivered a bravura performance.
