Youngstown: The Next Movie Hot Spot?
Arts & Entertainment January 22, 2015 / 12:27 PM
By Gabrielle Fellows
Between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, two of Hollywood's newest movie hubs , can be found Youngstown, an unassuming city with a seemingly absent film scene.
Fred D'Amico, actor, producer and Youngstown native, is determined to change this and put Youngstown on the map as a movie metropolis.
"You don't have to move out to LA … to pursue your dream. Your dream is 45 minutes away … in Pittsburgh or Cleveland. And we are sitting here in the middle of the Mecca of movies 45 minutes away from us. … Well, we're going to bring the movies to Youngstown since nobody wants to drive 45 minutes away," D'Amico said. "Our future is this. It's a nonprofit that is going to work with another nonprofit school downtown to begin a film series. Every four months, a movie will be made all by local people. There is a possibility that a movie could be coming here as soon as February."
D'Amico is known for his work on "Carnival of Souls" (1998), "Happy, Texas" (1999), "November" (2004) and his most recent movie, "The Power of Few" (2013) starring Christopher Walken. He said he wants to bring the dream of having the movie industry in Youngstown to life through the nonprofit organization Project Young Hollywood.
"Project Young Hollywood is a nonprofit set up to design every element needed to bring the movie industry here," D'Amico said. "We want people who want to learn how to write scripts, who want to be building movie sets, working the set, set decorating, etc. … There are a ton of jobs involved with bringing a movie to life that many aren't aware of."
Students and members of the community who hope to learn about the movie industry through hands-on experience are encouraged to sign up to be a part of Project Young Hollywood's cast and crew database at http://projectyounghollywood.org or email [email protected]
People interested in joining on as movie extras, background talent, actors and actresses, experienced crew members and those who just wish to learn can also be placed in the database directly for $5 by appearing at open casting held on Saturday from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. or Monday, Jan. 26, Wednesday, Jan. 28 and Friday, Jan. 30 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Oakland on 220 West Boardman St. in Youngstown.


When bad things happen in a child's life, adults often feel powerless to help. It's especially challenging since children can have a difficult time sharing – or even knowing – what they're feeling. Rainbow Reach offers gentle yet effective ways for adults to help children open up about loss, grief and anxiety … and begin to heal.
Rainbow Reach has created grief recovery activity books and gift sets to help children work through difficult times as they create scrapbooks they'll treasure forever. Tools available include exercises that will teach children how to relax and express their feelings.
For children who have lost a loved one.

A new breed of future managers: Video Gamers!
Most parents worry about their kids spending far too many hours playing video games. Teachers complain that this game time is taken at this expense of proper studying. Medical doctors argue that this video game addiction may not be good to kids' health.
So, is that true the video gamer generation is doomed? Well, according to John C. Beck and Mitchell Wade, co-authors of Got Game: How the Gamer Generation Is Reshaping Business Forever (HBS Press 2004), the issue deserves more careful consideration. They depict a situation which is far more balanced and promissing than what conventional wisdom would suggest. Video gamers are not loners, they are team players. Video gamers are creative, they permanently look for innovative shortcuts. Video gamers are familiar with new technologies, they use them intensively. Video gamers are not afraid to talk to people they don't know, cold calls are not an issue for them. They share knowledge. Video gamers know that heavy hierarchies are not conducive to problem solving, quite the opposite. Video gamers know the power of networks, they use them to overcome difficulties. Video gamers are not lazy. They are resilient, hard-working provided the environment (the game) is fun and challenging. Video gamers do know what failing means even if you can argue they only know about virtual failures. None the less, they feel the pain and know how to rebound.
Again, as usual, Cassandras tend to talk too fast. Not to say that all is rosy, with no negative points whatsoever. But, overall, I tend to agree with Beck and Wade that the punchline is rather positive (my son and my daughter do surprise me everyday!) and firms won't be and act the same with this new breed of video gamers-managers.
By the way, the book title could have been: Got Game, Got Blog: How the Gamer/Blogger Generation is Reshaping Business Forever. Maybe for the next edition!
An interesting interview of the two co-authors is here.
"Q: How have video games changed the way this generation views the business world?
A: Gamers approach the business world a bit more like a game. They see the different companies—and maybe the people they work with—as "players." They're way more competitive and are very passionate about "winning." They are both more optimistic and more determined about solving any kind of problem you can imagine; they think there's always going to be some combination of moves that will result in success. That drives them to be incredibly creative. They're a bit suspicious of company leaders: The game world is not big on following hierarchy. Plus, they are very confident. Like entrepreneurs, they would rather rely on their own abilities to succeed or fail. They're also more comfortable with risks, but aren't reckless.
Q: What's the danger for boomer managers who don't understand the gamer generation?
A: Boomer managers are leaving a LOT of value on the table, value that their competitors may not have seen yet, either. Gamers aren't just OK; they have some strengths that weren't standard in our generation. They can be almost maniacally dedicated and productive; for them, solving the problem can be a pleasant obsession like games were.
And as they come to dominate the workforce, anyone who doesn't understand them will become increasingly isolated. Imagine Ward Cleaver trying to manage in today's boomer-centric world. We're moving towards a more gamer-centered universe, both from a marketing and a management perspective. Boomers who don't understand the transition will run the risk of being left behind, unable to adapt. They'll either be trying to sell to people using completely wrong language, or they'll be trying to train using boring old methods like in classrooms and lectures. Either way, if they fail to adapt, they're going to waste a lot of the shareholders' money sticking to methods that don't work anymore. "
If you are convinced this book is a good/must read, the purchase link is here (I should think getting some commissions from the Harvard guys!).
The dynamic environment which video games and its certain features has provided us and all that things are not more than placing a cherry on a cake. Long way to go.
If you keep your kids from playing sony play station. His/her interest would grow with the rate at which you are keeping him/her from playing games. The relationship is linear. So it's better to give them a break from day long learning at schools.

Roller doors are common in houses and also in business stores. In homes, you will find them installed as garage doors as they offer maximum security. The roller doors are made of durable materials and hence are very strong and not easy to break, hence their popularity. Roller doors also take less space as compared to the conventional doors, and this makes them ideal. They roll up and down which means there is no need to leave that arc space like when you use the ordinary doors.
However, even though the roller doors are very strong, they have many components that need to be kept in check to guarantee that the door is always functional. For example, there are the springs, track, hinges, panels, belts, etc.
To ensure that your roller door is working properly, you should always do some important maintenance practices like checking to see the door is functioning normally. How do you know the roller door is working correctly? If the door is following its track, it a sign that everything is OK. Also, if the door is not making unusual noises, then the door is working properly. Besides checking on these, you should always keep your roller door clean and lubricated to prevent rusting and to keep it rolling smoothly.
After years of use, you will start noticing some malfunctions in your door. For example, you might realise that it is making a lot of noise when closing or opening (when rolling down or up). If this is so, it means something is wrong. Also, you might realise that your roller door is no rolling up and down smoothly, and this can be as a result of the rollers going off track. Also, you can note that your roller door is rolling up and down at high speed which is not normal and it's very risky as you can injure yourself. When you start observing such problems, it is probably time to call roller door repair services.
It is not easy to troubleshoot a roller door especially if you do not understand how a roller door works or if you do not have the tools. The best thing is to look for a roller door repair company that can troubleshoot your roller door professionally. And how do you know that a roller door repair company is the ideal service provider? You should check things like experience, reputation, and cost of services. But most importantly, ensure that they can offer emergency roller door repairs Adelaide. This is because a roller door problem can occur anytime and since the door is a symbol of security, you should have it fixed immediately to restore the safety of your home or business. Therefore, always check if a roller door repair company offers emergency services before you hire them.

LBSU graduate and developer of Oculus spoke to students on Feb. 19.
Campus, News
Face of VR makes visit to LBSU

The former face of the virtual world has come back to his old reality as Palmer Luckey, co-founder of Oculus, paid a short visit back to Long Beach State.
Luckey spoke to a journalism class about his widely publicized career, gave his thoughts on current technological trends and provided students with insight into the world of Silicon Valley startups.
The LBSU alumnus grew up in Long Beach and attended Golden West College and Long Beach City College. He enrolled at the university in 2010 as a journalism student and worked at the Daily 49er as online editor.
Luckey took a break from school to focus on his virtual reality headset. Soon after making a significant breakthrough, Luckey began a Kickstarter campaign for his Virtual Reality headset Oculus Rift. Luckey's headset gained the endorsement of prominent video game companies and Silicon Valley tech companies. Luckey set a goal of $250,000 to fund Oculus. Within 24 hours, Oculus raised $670,000. After three days, they raised over a million dollars. Eighteen months later, Facebook had purchased his VR company Oculus for $3 billion dollars.
Things didn't go as well as he hoped, when two years ago Luckey was fired from Facebook after controversy over his support for a pro-Trump group, he said.
Immediately after, the 26-year-old alumni co-founded his new company, Anduril Industries, a defense technology start-up based in Orange County. Anduril focuses on augmented reality and virtual reality for national defense and security applications.
Luckey was able to conduct a short Q&A with several students in attendance:
How were you so confident to leave school and start a business? What motivated you to do that in the first place?
For a long time I was working on my VR headset, on my own, in my garage, years before I went school. I didn't go into VR because I wanted to start a business. I got into it because I was very fascinated with virtual reality and the concept of escaping into a virtual world and leaving the real one behind. For years it was just a hobby, and then all of a sudden I had a pretty big breakthrough in the quality of my device. I had been showing it to people and close friends for years to show them, "Hey, here's what I've been working on," and the universal response was "This is stupid and so are you." These were my close friends, and they were telling me the truth. Then I made a pretty significant breakthrough, and all of sudden everyone was saying, "Hey man, I was wrong, this is actually cool now." And so, when you are excited by something, kind of discount that, because you can easily get excited by your own thing. But when you get other people excited about it, that's when you know you have something very special.
How did the Oculus Rift get so much exposure before it even launched?
I don't know how to put this without being all braggadocious, but the Oculus Rift was revolutionary. It was the lightest, widest field-of-view lowest latency VR headset that ever existed, and we were selling it for $300. There were headsets that were far worse that had been sold for professional and academic applications in the $60,000 to $100,000 range, that we were far superior to. So it was a really, really big deal. People had been dreaming about VR for years and decades and I think that VR is going to change the world. I think it is an inevitable technology that is going to get better and better and better. Imagine it just gets 5 percent better every year, and compound that for decades. It is going to eventually meet or surpass the quality of actually seeing something in real life, and when we can do that, it will take off.
To get all that attention, we showed it to a lot of people, who other people trusted. Game developers like Gabe Newell, CEO of Valve, Cliff Bleszinski, former lead designer of Epic Games, John Carmack of id Software and others in that industry. By showing it to all these people, we were able to get testimonials and endorsements for our Kickstarter, and that was how we got all this attention.
So there are unlimited possibilities for this technology? Where would you want to see this technology go?
I know where it is going first, and the first place where it will be truly dominant in is gaming … The gaming industry is the only industry where the technology, the tools and the talent [is used] to build real-time 3D worlds in an effective and entertaining way. It's the three T's. Journalism doesn't have the three T's. The aerospace industry doesn't have the three T's. The architecture industry is just starting to get the three T's, because they can make so much money using VR, pre-visualizing things before they are built, run through areas before you waste money putting something together. Gaming will be able to take off first because of that and also because gamers spend a bunch of money on early technology that is not quite consumer-ready. In the long run, the thing I'm most excited about is telepresence and teleworking. I have been all over the world. I have been on hundreds of international flights in the last seven years, going back and forth [to] China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan with our vendors, suppliers and manufacturers. Many of my meetings [consisted of] getting on an airplane, going somewhere, going to a bleak business hotel, into a conference room, shake hands, exchange cards and talk for a while and then leave. That could have been done in virtual reality. There are some things you will not be able to do in VR that you can do in real life, but you can simulate going into a conference room and load 3D models and all of that. I'm really excited because it can cut down on my travel time, it can cut down on emissions from going back and forth and let people become a lot more efficient. If you can have people from around the world and collaborate in the same space at the same time, that is going to be very powerful.

An Islamic extremist killed 49 people in Orlando last Sunday. The president used the occasion for an angry denunciation of Republicans on Tuesday. His votaries blame Republicans, homophobes, and Christians. But the killer registered as a Democrat, actively pursued homosexual relationships, and in matters of faith proved decidedly non-Christian. Read my column @ the American Spectator on how one can kill 49 people but one that kills the narrative always serves as the greatest offender to the ideologue.


Update (January 18, 2019): Treyarch released a statement on the Black Ops 4 sub-reddit regarding the yellow triangles. According to Treyarch, the triangles are a bug that will be patched out soon and were only meant to be displayed in parties, not in public lobbies. Original article follows below.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has moved on from simply charging its players for a DLC season pass. Developer Treyarch Studios and publisher Activision have now implemented a system that essentially outlines all users without a season pass with a giant yellow warning sign beside their name.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is already something of an oddity within the multiplayer FPS world due to its season pass system. Most games have done away with charging for map packs and DLC, instead choosing to make their money using in-game stores and microtransactions. Battlefield V, for instance, adds its new content free of charge for all of its players. Black Ops 4 instead charges users for its DLC, which has been a sticking point for fans since the system was first announced.
Now, as reported in a thread at resetERA earlier this week, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will also identify players who do not purchase its DLC to other users. For what it's worth, there is likely a legitimate reason for Black Ops 4 to do this; it's useful to indicate which players can find matches in a season pass exclusive map, since players need to own it to play it. Unfortunately, the way that Activision and Treyarch have chosen to identify people who have not purchased DLC passes is closer to shaming them publicly than reminding others that they will have limited access to the game's map pool.
Players without DLC are identified using triangular, yellow warning signs next to their name, similar to what a road sign indicating a hazard ahead might look like in some countries. The implication, then, is that users should stay away from these people until they have purchased a season pass, lest their quality of life in-game be affected by the limited amount of content they can access.
Obviously, this is a problem, and has caused a fair amount of fan backlash even if the insinuation is unintentional. In what is becoming something of a trend for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the public relations nightmare has backfired even worse than just upsetting some fans. The implementation of this system has shockingly revealed that Black Ops 4 has way more players without a DLC season pass than with it, as many in-game lobbies are littered with the yellow warning signs. It's a visual representation of the way fans evidently feel about the content on offer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and it's yet another reason for players to be skeptical about the game's future.

Richard C. Griesinger is among the most experienced divorce attorneys in Pinellas County. Since 1985, he has provided representation of divorce clients in North Pinellas (i.e., Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Clearwater, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar, and Dunedin). His practice is limited exclusively to divorce law. His typical cases involve contested, and often complex, issues of custody, alimony, and equitable distribution. Mr. Griesinger graduated from Stetson College of Law in Pinellas County in 1977, then served as Clearwater Asst. City Attorney until he began private practice in North Pinellas in 1985. He is a member in good standing of the Family Law Section of the Florida Bar Association and the Clearwater Bar Association.
Mr. Griesinger believes that divorce lawyers, above all else, must be expert problem solvers. He, therefore, takes pride in his research ability, case analytical skills, and straight forward approach with clients. Judges, not juries, hear divorce cases. Because judges do not want emotion brought in their courtrooms, even in cases involving children, Mr. Griesinger knows a divorce attorney should remove as much emotion as possible in the courtroom. He understands that the events leading up to a divorce lawsuit can turn lives upside down at home and at work, and strives to provide calm and reasoned advice to clients.
The way that Mr. Griesinger discusses the facts and law with a client will usually be different from the way he presents them to the judge and opposing attorney. An experienced divorce lawyer will play devil's advocate to anticipate as many opposing arguments as possible. But Mr. Griesinger will never enter a courtroom in a defensive mode. If a client asks his opinion of the case or a specific issue, he will "tell it like he sees it" and give a percentage of probability.

This is the shocking reason Stoke-on-Trent supermarket was closed for a whole day
Police have now launched an investigation
Jonathan Bamber
A supermarket was forced to close for the day after criminals used power tools to pull a cash machine off the wall in a late-night raid.
The offenders targeted the ATM at the Florence Park Co-op in Lightwood at about 1am yesterday (October 17).
It meant customers were met with a police cordon and were unable to do their shopping throughout yesterday.
The window next to the cashpoint was also smashed during the break-in.
The hole in the wall has now been boarded up and the Sussex Place convenience store was open for business as usual today (October 18).
Many customers told StokeonTrentLive they weren't shocked by the raid but feel inconvenienced as they now have to withdraw cash from somewhere else.
The Co-op store in Sussex Place, Lightwood, had its ATM machine stolen overnight
Rodney Moore, who lives in Lightwood Road, said: "I come down here for my cash. Now I will have to go into town which is a bit of a pain as I do not want anything in the town.
"I have been coming here for 13 years and use the shop two or three times a week and I use the cash machine every week.
Burglary suspect found 'lying inside' Co-op by stunned staff after bungled rooftop break-in
"They do get gangs hanging around here in the evenings. I tend not to come down at night."
Ian Williams, aged 40, of Devon Way, Lightwood, said: "You don't normally get this kind of thing around here, not to this extent. I don't even know how they've done it.
"My neighbour came in off nights at 1am. The next thing he saw smoke. He came round and saw a lad with a Stihl-saw. He walked across the car park and clocked two other people."
Christine Warren, aged 67, of Lightwood, said: "I do use the cash machine so I am going to have to go somewhere else to get cash. I am shocked but maybe not surprised."
Police want YOU to help find this 24-year-old man who has been on the run for 111 days
Terry Parr, aged 79, of Lightwood, said: "Nothing is safe. I am not shocked. It is just the sort of thing we are becoming used to. It is a sign of the times."
The Co-op store in Sussex Place, Lightwood
Painter and decorator Andy Griffiths, aged 47, of Barnsley, works near the shop.
He said: "We came yesterday and the shop was closed. There was just a police cordon around it. We noticed the cash machine was ripped out. It happens over our way as well – it is a common occurrence now these days.
"I am glad the shop is open again."
This sick Staffordshire pervert committed a revolting act involving a cup of tea that will shock you
The Co-op today urged anyone who witnessed the raid to get in touch with the police.
A spokesman said: "There was an incident at our Lightwood store in the early hours of Wednesday when three intruders entered the store. Police are investigating and we appeal for anyone with information to come forward. The store has since re-opened to serve the community."
Staffordshire Police has not provided a comment despite repeated requests.

Q: Looking for some help on the Sin_domain proof from Software Foundations Color.v Here is the full module: https://softwarefoundations.cis.upenn.edu/vfa-current/Color.html
The theorem at hand:
Exercise: 3 stars (Sin_domain)
Lemma Sin_domain: ∀ A n (g: M.t A), S.In n (Mdomain g) ↔ M.In n g.

Usually, 3 stars indicates hard but not too hard, but I'm struggling to figure out how to attack this. If you unfold Mdomain it becomes a fold which then becomes M.xfoldi, which is fairly low level. I have a sense of how I could prove a bunch of low level lemmas about how xfoldi acts on various indices but...I feel like there has got to be a better way? That said it does have this disclaimer
This seems so obvious! But I didn't find a really simple proof of it.

My first instinct with this sort of thing is always try try and prove some sort of distribution principle about the thing at hand, such as
Mdomain (M.Node s1 o s2)

But since Mdomain is implemented in terms of a fold, it gets complicated pretty quickly. Again, probably not insurmountable but...I'm wondering if there is a better way (given I just spent many, many hours on Sremove_cardinal_less and Mremove_cardinal_less!)

A: Hint: Use WP.fold_rec_bis to prove a relation P between a map and the result of folding it (with M.fold). It is a form of induction principle:

*

*Base case: the relation must hold between the empty map and the initial accumulator;

*Induction step: if the relation holds of some map (and accumulator), then it holds after inserting a new key-value pair (and updating the accumulator accordingly).

As a technicality, it also requires a "compatibility" assumption (which is an explicit proof that your relation P is independent from the order of insertion).
  Theorem fold_rec_bis :
    forall (A:Type)(P : t elt -> A -> Type)(f : key -> elt -> A -> A),
     forall (i:A)(m:t elt),
     (forall m m' a, Equal m m' -> P m a -> P m' a) ->  (* Compatibility *)
     (P (empty _) i) ->                                 (* Base case *)
     (forall k e a m', MapsTo k e m -> ~In k m' ->      (* Induction step *)
       P m' a -> P (add k e m') (f k e a)) ->
     P m (fold f m i).

Adnan A. Motan, 30, of Livingston, was arrested in a sting operation in which over 355 grams of fake weed was found in his possession. He was arrested by Livingston Police.
Another Fake Weed Bust, LIVINGSTON, March 23, 2011 - On the morning of March 21, 2011, Officer Kevin Ward with the Livingston Police Department received a tip about a phone number he could call to arrange to purchase K2 (aka, fake weed) in Livingston. Fake weed is illegal within the city limits of Livingston. At 1:26 that afternoon, Officer Ward had a sting operation in place and had arranged for a meeting with the alleged dealer of fake weed. The meeting took place in a parking lot located in the 1200 block North Washington in Livingston. Detective Leon Middleton met with the dealer who had a large load of the fake weed. The dealer, Adnan A. Motan, 30, of Livingston, reportedly lives with the owners of Livinston Z Mart (also known locally as Giavanni's). The management of Livingston Z-Mart has been in trouble with the law recently for selling fake weed. According to the Livingston Police Department, Adnan Motan had over 355 grams of the fake weed. A conservative estimate has the banned substance that was seized from Motan valued at $6,035. Motan was arrested without incident and was charged with violating City of Livingston ordinance. Motan was booked into Polk County Jail and also is facing a $750 fine (the fine can go as high as $2,000).
According to Livingston Police Department, there have been 3 different occasions where local teens have shown up at the emergency room of Livingston Memorial Hospital with serious physical problems as a result of smoking the fake weed.
The DEA is taking fake weed so serious that it has been labled as a schedule 1 drug and is in the same category as cocaine and heroin.
Fake weed first made PolkCountyToday.com in the summer of 2010 when we did a special report. A short time later the substance was banned in the City of Livingston. Police made a drug bust a few months later in the parking lot of Z-Mart.

Darts, a game wherein one would throw a missile looking arrow into a dartboard and score based on where the dart landed is a very popular game among men. Now it is a professional competitive sport but apart from that, it is also a traditional pub game that men enjoy with their friends whilst drinking. It was first played approximately in the 1870s and it was first bet on in 1908 wherein there was an English law that permitted betting only on games of skill in rather than on games of chance in places for small stakes only where alcohol is consumed. An issue arose however since the magistrates of court way back thought that darts betting was prohibited. Not until they have seen for themselves that it was indeed, a game of skill when the local darts champion demonstrated the game. Today, darts fans have taken up the game to a whole new level after coming up with professional organizations that cater to professional darts competition.
The World Professional Darts Championship is one of the most important tournaments in darts organized by both the British Darts Organisation (BDO) and the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC). The championship is held during the Christmas or New Year's period annually. Both BDO and PDC organize other tournaments such as the World Masters, Premiere League, UK Open, Las Vegas Dessert Classic and many more. All of these are televised live for fans who would want to see the ongoing action even though they are sitting comfortably at home. All of the leagues and championships are very familiar to darts betting fans who would annually, prepare to bet for their favourites. During the professional games, betting is very popular and many bookmaking companies sponsor the events to grab the attention of punters and allure them to place their bets on these bookmakers.
Internet betting has been the craze now for several years and many bookmakers offer almost all kinds of bets & markets for darts ranging from sports to reality TV. During the season of the professional games, many sites offer punters news and tips on the current stand of the professional players. Odds are shown on who will be the next champion. These odds and tips are the handy tools of punters on placing their bets because betting blindly in the dark is really not an option.
The increased media coverage of the professional games of each of the two large organizations of darts has led to darts becoming one of the most popular betting opportunities available in the market. Sky Sports, a television network, broadcast the games live and major bookmakers televise darts betting odds garnering it thousands of viewers and punters. The mass exposure and high quality shows provided by the media has led to the popularity of the professional games. This in turn has spawned darts fans all over the world. Betting has not only been limited in viewers of Sky Sports in the United Kingdom due to available online bookmakers. Some punters place their bets, look up the odds, and stream the shows online making it possible for them to bet on professional leagues in the UK.


Early this morning Chris and I headed up Columbia Valley to take a closer look after my visit earlier in the week. While surprisingly chilly in the early morning air, the weather was quite nice. We drove the outside loop with most of our effort on Maple Falls Road and Henderson Road before we ran out of time. Again, White-crowned and Willow Flycatchers were very abundant. Wilson's Warbler started quite slowly, but along Henderson Road we got most of the morning's 12 birds. Quite obviously these birds are breeding. We also saw several deer.
We're right along the border at once spot along Henderson Road.
Our list is below. When I initially tallied up the results I forgot European Starling and told Chris we had 49 species for the morning. Seems we hit 50 after all which is pretty good and shows that the area is worth visiting. Great outing, thanks, Chris!
That's a good list for this time of year. Well done guys.

"Edna Molewa was a true champion for the environment, in her home country, throughout Africa and across the world. She was a great friend of CITES and was instrumental in delivering the hugely successful CITES CoP17 in 2016", David Morgan, Officer-in-Charge, CITES Secretariat
From the time Molewa assumed her role as Minister of Environmental Affairs, she worked to advance the integrated strategic management of rhinoceroses through a variety of conservation-minded efforts approved by the president's cabinet. Molewa believed that the fight against rhinoceros poaching and associated illicit trade in rhinoceros horn required a combination of interventions including community development, growing rhinoceros numbers, responsive legislation, law enforcement and demand management. Among the efforts she spearheaded were translocation programs, anti-poaching initiatives, sale of rhinoceroses to private properties, law enforcement collaboration at all levels, and efforts to comply to CITES regulations. Molewa's administration supported evidence-based decision making and research into matters associated with rhinoceros horn trade. She spearheaded programs for translocation of rhino from high-risk areas to low-risk areas both nationally and internationally in support of the rhino range expansion initiatives. Molewa was a staunch advocate of multilateralism, fairness, equity and justice in the treatment and respect of developing countries.

According to Jim, the coming IMF SDR solution will be hyperinflationary, but it will also provide today's central bankers a scapegoat. Will they be able to pull this off before social unrest gets out of control?
I don't think there's any central bank in the world today that wants a gold standard, but they may be forced to go to a gold standard to restore confidence. In other words, right now the dollar's the leading reserve currency. I'm expecting that in the next dollar panic, the next financial liquidity crisis, which will happen sooner than later, it's going to be bigger than the Fed.
Meaning the Fed bailed out the world in 2009, but the next crisis is going to be so much larger because the size of the system is larger and the Fed has already trashed its balance sheet by printing $4 trillion in the last five years. What are they going to do? Print another $4 trillion? I mean they're at the outer limit of what they can print. So the next crisis is going to be bigger than the Fed. The Fed will not be able to re-liquefy the world, so where is global liquidity going to come from in the panic?
The answer is the IMF because they have the only clean balance sheet in the world and everyone knows that the Fed has a printing press. They can print dollars, but people don't know that the IMF also has a printing press. They can print world money which they call special drawing rights or SDR's, and so you re-liquefy the world by printing SDR's, and that's what the elites would like to do.
But it may not work in the sense that if people are losing confidence in dollar paper money, why would they have confidence in IMF paper money? Well, it might work if no one understands it, which is what the elites are hoping. But in fact, people might not have confidence in it. In that world, you may have to go to gold. Central banks may have to go to a gold standard, not because they want to, but because they have to.
There's been a lot of talk yet that China has acquired thousands of tons of gold. The world's largest gold producer. The world's largest gold importer and they're also bringing in gold that's not being reported in the official import statistics using military channels.
And I talk about that in Chapter 9 and Chapter 11 in my book, how they're using the People's Liberation Army to smuggle gold into China overland, without going through Hong Kong. So they're getting all the gold they can and so are others. But there's been a lot of speculation as to why is China getting all this gold.
Well, they must want a new reserve currency backed by gold. It may end up there, but that's not what they're doing in the short run. Here's the way to think about it. They own $4 trillion of reserves today, mostly in paper assets. Most of that is US dollar denominated and most of that are US Treasury notes. So they're the biggest creditor of the United States of America.
They actually don't want to gold to skyrocket. What they want is a strong dollar. Nobody wants a stronger dollar more than China because China owns more dollar securities than anyone else in the world. But they're worried. They're fearful that we will inflate the dollar and if you do a 10% inflation of the dollar, you reduce the dollar's value by 10%.
That's like a $300 billion wealth transfer from China to the US because their assets are worth less, our liabilities go down, so we're stealing wealth from China and they know it. Now they can't dump these treasury securities. There are too many of them. But what they can do is buy gold and here's how it works.
If we have a stable dollar maybe the gold doesn't go up that much, but they'll be very happy with that because their securities will be worth what they think they are. But if we inflate the dollar which we're trying to do, they're going to lose money on the paper, but they're going to make it on the gold.
Because we all know that if inflations comes along gold is going to go up very, very significantly. So in effect they're creating a hedge position. They've got paper over there, gold over here. They would like the paper to be valuable, but if the paper drops in value, the gold is going to go up. So they're actually building a hedge book.
One of the problems are "wealth management products" which the banks have set up as Ponzi schemes, offering high rates of return, but financing them not through investment but through the funds of new investors, Rickards said.
"How long could that go on. It will go on until something happens. There's a failure, a fraud, something will cause a panic and everyone is going to run down and try to cash them in," he said.
"They've set themselves up through wasted infrastructure investment, opaque financial product and ponzi financing – they've set themselves up for a collapse," he added.
If China experiences a softer landing, it will have to be happy with growth of closer to four per cent, Rickards estimated. But if it faces a crash, or a bank default, growth may decline to two per cent.
"The world is not ready for this. China is 10 per cent of global GDP. If you take Chinese growth rates down from 7-7.5 per cent even to 4.5 per cent, let alone 2.5 per cent, which is possible, that's going to have a major impact on the entire world," he said.
Regulators were asleep at the switch. They either have an interest in turning a blind eye. In the US, the futures markets are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. They've had vacancies that the president has been in no hurry to fill.
So it almost looks like the cops are in the doughnut shop, as far as that's concerned, and a lot of the manipulation's actually being done by governments. We know this because they operate through something called the BIS. That's the Bank for International Settlements, based in Basel, Switzerland.
The BIS is an interesting organization. It was formed in the 1930s, partly to do gold operations for other central banks. It's sort of the central bankers' treehouse or clubhouse or whatever you want to call it. But notoriously during World War II, the BIS was run by an American named Thomas McKittrick and they were brokering Nazi gold.
So here you had an American brokering gold for the Nazi's. So that tells you where the BIS is coming from and they're still alive and well. And if you read the footnotes to their annual financial statements, they say that they conduct gold sale and leasing transactions on behalf of central banks and commercial banks.
But I disguise the identity of course, and so between the statistical evidence, the disclosures in the BIS, the fact that we know central banks have leased and sold gold from time to time, IMF dumping gold on the market.
So it's historic. It's blatant. There's statistical evidence. It's very, very clear what's going on and I'm a gold investor. I manage portfolios by investing in gold. I recommend it to clients, but you do have to understand that if you're investing in gold you're fighting every central bank in the world.
The manipulation of the gold market is not something that's really debatable any longer. The evidence for it is very clear and I talked about this in my new book, The Death of Money: The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System, particularly in Chapter 9 which is about gold, but also in other parts of the book.
Now the particular class action lawsuit that you're referring to is aimed at the five members of the London Gold Fix, which is a London-based process whereby the price of gold is set twice a day by kind of an interaction indication of interest among these five major dealers and we'll see how that plays out.
Now these lawsuits can take years to work out because the defendants typically come in, and file a motion to dismiss and that has to be argued and then decided by the judge. If the plaintiff gets to go forward, you get into discovery and then that opens up a lot emails and so forth. So the cases take years to play out.
But beyond the London Fix, there are other forms of manipulation that may be even more important to gold investors, particularly on the COMEX, that's the commodities exchange based in New York. And there are some very interesting recent statistical studies. I've seen some of them myself.
One is about to be published. It will promulgated out, but I've see some private research on this and what it shows is that, for example, if you could go back ten years and have two hypothetical accounts, then one of them would buy the open on the COMEX every day and sell it at close, so you would basically own the COMEX trading hours.
And the other account would buy the spot market after COMEX closes and sell in the spot market just before COMEX opens the next day. So one account, in effect, was on the COMEX trading day and the other account would own the afterhours.
Now what's interesting is that over a ten year period those accounts should perform almost identically. On any given day there could be some differences or some volatility based on the timing of particular events, but that's going to even out and over ten years they should be the same. In fact, they were nowhere near the same.
The COMEX accounts showed massive losses and the afterhours accounts showed massive gains, both deviants from the overall market. And what that tells you is that the COMEX is being manipulated, and the price is being suppressed, mostly with large sell orders at the close. Then it would pop back up again in the afterhours. So this is a smoking gun.
So if I were running the manipulation I would actually be embarrassed at this point because it's so blatant. So I think the London Gold Fixing cases are important, but they're not the only evidence. The weight of evidence is clear that the gold market is being very heavily manipulated.
James Rickards, author of the new book, "The Death of Money," foresees big inflation because the U.S. dollar's buying power will shrink. Rickards predicts, "Imagine gas at $20 a gallon and bread at $10. That's what we're talking about." So, if big inflation is coming, what about gold? Rickards says, "When I say the price of gold is going to $7,000 or $9,000 per ounce, which I expect it will, what I am really saying is the dollar is going to collapse 80% or 90% or more." It did in the 1970's. None of this is unprecedented. It all happened before."
Rickards says, "When a collapse happens it will happen quickly. You won't see it coming. There won't be time to run out and buy gold, and it probably will not even be available at that stage. You need to prepare now."
"I think it's not safe. It is physically safe, but the US government might steal it. If you have a financial panic and there is a collapse of the dollar, and the US government sees a need to back the dollar with gold to restore trust, there is a risk that the US will confiscate that gold. The US government would add that to the US gold supply, create a new gold backed dollar, turn to the countries (whether the Netherlands, Italy or France) with a certificate and say they could get their gold back in the new system. That's what I mean with re-writing the rules of the game."
My methodology is the same which is I'm a complexity theorist and I use a number of techniques. Complexity theory, Bayesian Technique, causal inference, network science. I have a number of scientific and analytical tools that I use to understand markets. So like any tools, the longer you use them you can refine them and get better at it.
So I'm probably getting a little better at it. But I'm using the same basic tools. See, that hasn't changed, but what has changed is that events are actually playing out the way we expected and predicted in Currency Wars. So the new book also has forward projections, so I hope leaders can take that to heart and feel some comfort that they're looking at the future when they read the new book.
Just to give you a concrete example. In Currency Wars, my first book, the first two chapters talk about a financial war game conducted by the Pentagon at a top secret weapons laboratory outside of Washington D.C. and a lot of readers really enjoyed that chapter. But what we did in that war game, and I was one of the planners and facilitators and I got to participate in the war game.
China has become so dependent on investment to power its economy that it is going ahead with such projects although the capital is ultimately wasted, he said.
"That does create jobs and growth in the short run, but if you can't use it, you've wasted it," Rickards said.
China's leadership, worried about a downturn in exports, wants domestic consumption to take on an increasingly important role in the economy. There is talk of floating the yuan and letting market forces shape its state-owned companies.
But as the country outgrows the planned economy, there are signs it is having trouble managing credit and that it's banks may be in trouble.
Jim Rickards, an American economist and investor, believes China will never return to the 9.9 per cent growth rate it has had over the past 30 years.
"When you're starting from a very low base, you can grow very rapidly with very little input," he said in an interview with CBC's The Lang & O' Leary Exchange.
The economic miracle was powered by rural peasants migrating to the cities, forming households and producing cheap consumer goods for the West. But now fewer people are moving into cities, many Chinese are already approaching the middle-class and there are cheaper countries to manufacture goods.
"Beyond that China has mismanaged its economy. It has a lot of structural problems that could cause much more rapid collapse in the growth," said Rickards, author of the soon-to-be released book The Death of Money.
He points to China's "ghost cities" in which apartment buildings, hotels and shopping malls go up on vacant land, with no one to live there.

Sony In Development On Another MEN IN BLACK Spinoff Attempt
October 1, 2017 Rich Drees Movie News
Sony is looking at reviving their Men In Black science-fiction/comedy franchise.
However, the studio is not looking to make it a new film with franchise stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. Instead, the Hollywood Reporter is stating that Sony has hired Iron Man screenwriters Matt Holloway and Art Marcum to go forward with a new cast of characters.
While the success of the franchise is certainly tied to the star power of Smith and Jones, the concept of a secret government department that monitors and polices the surprising amount of aliens who live on Earth is big enough to accommodate new characters. Agents J and K weren't the only two working for the MIB agency after all. However, in a post-Ghostbusters reboot world, Holloway, Marcum and Sony may have a long way to go in convincing the public of that.
This is not the first time Universal has gone to the Men In Black well. A few years ago there was an attempt to cross the franchise over with Universal's other comedy franchise 21 Jump Street that died in development. With the original trilogy having grossed over $1.5 billion dollars worldwide, Sony certainly has incentive to try and keep this franchise running.

Q: Dynamic template Angular based on database configuration I have an Angular application and in some interfaces I need to show/hide some divs based on user configuration that is retrieved from my database.
I was thinking about using *ngIf and doing something like this:
<div *ngIf="hasConfig('blue')>
      Blue div
</div>

<div *ngIf="hasConfig('yellow')>
      Yellow div
</div>

<div *ngIf="hasConfig('red')>
      Red div
</div>

But I'm afraid that it will harm my app performance and get a little bit messy, because the same situation happens in several parts of my app.
And these divs have fields, each with a ngModel that can be sent to the server, it's like all of them togheter constitute one single form.
The same applies to the main menu, I need to show menus based on permissions that the users are given by an admin. Today I'm doing this with *ngIf, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach.
Are there any good practices or solutions that won't slow down my app in this scenario?

A: ngIf is indeed the best way to show/hide sections of your UI based on user permissions.
You can also protect routes with Router Guards (e.g. CanActivate).
If you fetch the user's permissions in each Component, you may indeed slow your application down somewhat, so I would suggest fetching them once at login - the most performant way would be to return the permissions upon a successful login request.
You'll want to do this with a Service that is shared among all of your components and which caches the result.
If instead, you send a separate request for permissions after login, that will slow things down a bit. Whether the delay is noticeable will depend on how long that second request takes to complete.

Monitoring and comorbidities in patients with chronic hepatitis B currently treated with nucleos(t)ide analogs
Authors Spyros Siakavellas, John Goulis, Spilios Manolakopoulos, Christos Triantos, Nikolaos Gatselis, Eva Tsentemidou, Hariklia Kranidioti, Κonstantinos Ζisimopoulos, Christos Τsoulas, George Dalekos, George Papatheodoridis.
Background Long-term monotherapy with nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs) represents the treatment option for the majority of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), an aging population with a greater likelihood of comorbidities. We assessed the prevalence of concurrent non-hepatic diseases and the safety monitoring in a large cohort of CHB patients receiving NAs and their potential impact on disease outcomes.
Methods We included 500 consecutive CHB patients from 5 major tertiary Greek centers, under long-term therapy with an NA. Epidemiological/clinical characteristics and data on concomitant disease, drug use and investigations ordered were collected.
Results The mean age was 58 years and 66% were male. Most patients were receiving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF, 60%) or entecavir (ETV, 37%) monotherapy. Decompensated cirrhosis at baseline was present in 10%, while hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) under therapy developed in 21 patients. The median duration of total NA therapy was 56 and of latest therapy 42 months. The most common (prevalence >10%) comorbidities were hypertension (28%), non-HCC cancer(s) (12%), and diabetes (11%). Patients with a longer duration of latest therapy (≥4 vs. <4 years) were older (mean age: 58 vs. 56 years, P=0.004), had more frequent history of prior use of NA(s) (53% vs. 35%, P<0.001), and less frequent liver decompensation (5% vs. 13%, P=0.008) and non-HCC cancers (8% vs. 15%, P=0.020). HCC developed more frequently in patients with than in those without diabetes (11% vs. 3%, P=0.022).
Conclusion Greek CHB patients currently treated with NAs, almost exclusively ETV or TDF, are often older than 60 years, have several comorbidities, and thus require careful management.

Toronto, Ontario – November 28, 2018 - Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. ("Ventripoint" or the "Corporation") (TSXV:VPT) announces that it has applied to the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") to amend the expiry date of common share purchase warrants issued by the Corporation in connection with a private placement of the Corporation (the "Originating Private Placement") on December 16, 2016 (the "Warrants"). The amendment to the expiry date of the Warrants is set out in the table below. The Warrants to be amended do not include any warrants issued to finders or agents in connection with the Originating Private Placement. No other terms of the Warrants are to be amended.
Certain of the Warrants are held by parties who are considered to be "related parties" of the Corporation (such warrants, the "Related Party Warrants"). Therefore, the amendment of the Related Party Warrants constitutes a "related party transaction" as contemplated by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions, and TSXV Policy 5.9 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions. However, the exemptions from formal valuation and minority approval requirements provided for by these guidelines can be relied upon because neither the fair market value of the Related Party Warrants nor the fair market value of the consideration paid for the Related Party Warrants exceeds 25% of the market capitalization of the Corporation. A material change report in respect of this related party transaction will be filed by the Corporation. The material change report could not be filed earlier than 21 days prior to the amendment of the Warrants because the terms of participation of the non-related parties and the related parties was not confirmed.
Since forward-looking statements and information address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. Such factors may include the failure of the Corporation to successfully satisfy certain conditions in connection with the amendment of the Warrants and failure to complete the amendment of the Warrants. Other factors which could materially affect such forward-looking information are described in the risk factors in the Corporation's most recent annual management's discussion and analysis that is available on the Corporation's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. The forward-looking statements included in this news release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. The forward-looking statements and information contained in this news release are made as of the date hereof and the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.
