Nam Soon Kim ASMA Biography
As I complete the project of Admiral Yi Sun-shin, in one step I reminisce about the gloomy past. I didn't even know how to start telling these colossal stories.
It has taken me nine years to complete 21 oil paintings about Admiral Yi Sun-shin and his life. I still cry when I listen to the Korean national song, even though it has been thirty five years since I came to study in America. later, I settled here after struggling
with my own business.
It is truly the crying that only the emigrants could understand and empathize with.
It is unspeakable how many times I have cried from moment to moment during the execution of this Yi Sun-shin project.
I came to the United States of America as a student of the Grace Downs Air Career School at Glen Cove, New York in 1974. Before I came to the America I had been with the Korean Airlines for four years. After graduation of the school I did my own business. I was naturalized in America in 1982 and since then I have lived in New York city until now.
During the 1960 student demonstration for the democracy in Korea, known as the 4.19 Revolution, I was a chief student leader at Masan girls' high school.
When I had passed through the school hallway, the students shouted toward me,
"When do we do the demonstration in the street outside the school?"
The students were in a state of high excitement after a student from another school, Kim Joo Yeol was killed during an earlier demonstration. I could have efficiently organized the demonstration.
At that time, being the leader meant dying during the demonstration, and the first thing I did before going out was to burn my diary. It seemed necessary because a diary was the most secretive thing for a girl just starting puberty.
When I applied to go to university, my father didn't allow me to major in fine art,
instead giving me the choice of the medicine or pharmacy.
I chose pharmacy because it looked easier than medicine.
With my early retirement, I decided to become a fine art artist after having studied as an art student with Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons Fine Arts, part time after work, and later at The Art students league of New York, full time.
As young students, beginning in elementary school, we studied Admiral Yi Sun-shin.
We learned about his intelligence and abilities in the face of adversity, his devotion to duty, and his unwavering honor. Whenever we talked about patriotism, we referred to Yi Sun-shin. I had wanted to express his story to the Western world, but it wasn't until I become an artist that I felt I had found a medium that would show how I felt and could give the respect due to him.
From the beginning of my artist career, I chose as my subject matter Yi Sun-shin's contemplative inner life and his monumental episodes.
Even though I felt that these historical stories, all over four hundred years old, didn't look attractive and were even objectionable to Western people, I accepted that reality because of the overwhelming inspiration of the solemn profundity of the subject..
Books related with Imjin War - Battles in Japanese Invasion under Hidejoshi (1592-1598) and many Korean old cultural books, history books, and essays were faithfully relied upon in order to avoid any apocryphal stories in the works.
Nanjung Ilgi - the War Diary of Admiral Yi Sun-shin; Imjin Changeh - Admiral Yi Sun-shin's Memorials to the court; and his poetries were highly referenced. Also referenced were Jing Bi Rok, written by Admiral's friend and his contemporary prime minister, Sung Ryong Ryu; Imjin Naval Battle, written by Min Woong Lee; Still Twelve War Battleships left with me, written by Jong Dae Kim; Chosun Dynasty Chronicles; and the Korean Naval Academy Website.
At the beginning stage, Sip Kyung Do - a series of ten pictures describing specially noteworthy events in the Admiral's life, having been preserved at the main temple of Hyun Choong Sa - was used primarily as a structure for the project.
The paintings merge two genres: portraiture and historical painting.
Many classical artists, specially Renaissance and Baroque artists, produced allegorical or mythological episodes but not anecdotal episodes.
Some paintings of Napoleon were more or less anecdotal, but he was contemporary.
There have been no reference books available about anecdotal painting.
It was a tremendously difficult procession to produce supremely high-quality paintings that, with Western oil painting methods, would fully describe a pure oriental subject.
My conviction that the painting should be paramountly powerful and colorful led me to create relief-like thickness using only oil painting pigments for which I invested enormous effort and experiments.
Many artists were said to have used sand or straw for sculptural support, but they couldn't achieve the same effectiveness.
Rembrandt used the sculptural thickness in light areas only, unlike mine in which the high relief-like impasto covers the whole canvas and enhances the more powerful depth and richness of the painting with the effect of animation.This could never be achieved with thinly-layered painting.
It is said that when Beethoven conceived of the overwhelmingly solemn Nine Symphony, he felt that the orchestral instruments alone were not powerful enough to have composed his symphony. So, he brought the human voice, the vocal chorus, to his last symphony for the first time of the symphony history. The acoustic depth created by this additional layer was a landmark moment in symphony composition.
In the photos of my works you cannot feel the power of relief-like thickness. But if you see them in person, you can observe the powerful effectiveness of the relief. And, both the paintings' textures and the epic size of the canvases are designed to be seen from a distance for the real animation effect.
It was very difficult to meet oriental models, so I utilized every possible way to create them for contour of features of oriental faces. Many times, I used photos I took, and for lighting, plasticity, animation, and hands gestures, I used American professional modes. One of my American door men sat for my works, but that gave me a hard time with facial modeling tasks, specifically in the shape of shadow due to the differences between Orientals and Westerners of facial bone structures, cavernous eye sockets, and other features. For his appearance, I referenced mostly to Jing Bi Rok written by Seung Yong Ryu, the Admiral's friend and his contemporary Prime Minister, in which he wrote, "Yi Sun-shin is reticent and barely smiles. His features are elegant and decent and looks like a stern scholar, but there is a courageous man of steady nerve inside." I structured his face accordingly. Also referenced was a description by Yun Hyu, one of the Admiral's far relatives in his book, Baek Ho Jun Seo, in which the Admiral is of strong, big body structure, and cool courage.
I represented my self-portrait as the mother of Yi Sun-shin.
A Baroque artist in Italy, Artemisia Gentileschi, has said that she painted some of her stories without models many times to achieve an extraordinarily good quality of realistic paintings.
For the costumes I designed them mostly based on the costumes of that old time displayed in the museums and folk villages in korea.
I decided against using new costumes that I had ordered from Korea for the works due to their improper designe for those old time trends.
As they appraise my woks, viewers will first observe my painting quality on which
I focused, and then they will get interested in the stories. While they are lingering on the paintings, they will meet Admiral Yi Sun-shin as he is introduced internationally.
From now until the end of my life, I will continue the series of Yi Sun-shin. He is one of the human beings who has the most anecdotal episodes which are not apocryphal and, eventually, Admiral Yi Sun-shin will be well-known to the world.
When I think of producing of the continuing series I am already excited and tears run in my eyes again.
The next episode will be the scene in which many people, with a thousand emotions after their tiring and scared war to death, are heartily welcoming Admiral Yi Sun-shin's return from the Myungryang battle. He was victorious, with only 13 battleships and no reinforcements against 133 enemy battleships and their endless reinforcements.
The canvas will be monumental in size, and a whole cluster of emotional tones will be seen in this epic painting.
I believe it is my biggest blessing bestowed upon me by God that I, as a fine art artist, can have this chance to dare describe the private inner world of Admiral Yi Sun-shin on oil painting canvases, even in any aspect. For this opportunity, I am truly grateful.

Sugar vs High Fructose Corn Syrup - Lesson #36
Sugar vs High Fructose Corn Syrup - Bitter $1.5 Billion Battle Ends in a Draw - Secret Settlement Made Mid-Trial
Was it a draw or did the HFCS industry see the handwriting on the wall?
Glycoscience Lesson #36 [Brief Version - Case, Lawyer and Settlement]
To learn a brief review of the science behind the HFCS case go to: http://www.endowmentmed.org/pdf/SmartLesson42.pdf
For a more detailed Report of the case: Glycoscience Lesson #36 [Detailed Edition] http://www.GlycoscienceNEWS.com/pdf/Lesson36.pdf
The HFCS Case
Big Sugar: Sugar Cooperative Vs Big Corn: Corn Refiners Association. Arch enemies have battled in the marketplace since the 1970s when high fructose corn syrup was introduced as a cheaper alternative to sugar. By 2003, HFCS had taken ~50% of the market. Big Sugar filed suit against Big Corn in 2011 alleging false marketing of HFCS as a natural nutritional equivalent to sugar which resulted in market losses. Big Corn countersued in 2012, charging the sugar industry unfairly blamed HFCS for contributing to many serious health challenges, including diabetes and obesity. The FDA blocked their plan [2012] to change the name of HFCS to "corn sugar".
Big Sugar was seeking $1.5 billion in a false-advertising claims for ad campaigns stating, "Sugar is sugar." And, "Your body can't tell the difference."
The HFCS Trial Lawyer
The sugar companies asked Houston attorney, Mark Lanier to lead the fight against the HFCS industry. Lanier has won the largest plaintiff verdicts in history: a $9 billion verdict against Takeda Pharmaceutical and Eli Lilly when a Louisiana federal jury learned that drug makers destroyed key documents to hide cancer risks of [diabetes drug] Actos. He won the Vioxx verdict against Merck, settled in 2005 for $253 million. His first major win [1993] for his firm was to secure a $480 million verdict against a major oil company.
The case is similar to another landmark case Lanier won for the sugar industry against Johnson & Johnson for deceptive advertising of Splenda in 2009. Splenda can no longer advertise, "Tastes like sugar because it's made from sugar."
The HFCS jury trial began Nov. 3, 2015 in Los Angeles Federal Court. Lanier's opening remarks were reminiscent of his opening statement as lead Sugar Association attorney against Splenda: "Now we look forward to presenting the truth about Splenda to the jury and focusing on the very real effect of misleading advertising. We are confidant that the outcome will be a victory for consumers everywhere."
In the HFCS case Lanier added to his opening: "Among other things, the [defendant's] ad campaign told consumers that 'sugar is sugar' and that 'your body cannot tell the difference between sugar and high-fructose corn syrup.' In a supporting affidavit, the defendants told the Mexican government [opposite claim in1997] 'HFCS is a unique food ingredient that is the result of extensive scientific research and development.'"
The HFCS Settlement
Mid-trial, a secret settlement was reached before the jury could rule on the damages. Attorneys on both sides refused to discuss terms of the settlement. It was reported that a spokesman for the sugar processors, said they "achieved a satisfactory settlement of the disputes in the lawsuit."
Let the PR campaign begin. Each side will tell its audience that moderation is important.
As Mark Lanier has championed truth in labeling, truth in advertising and truth in court, we attempt to champion truth in Glycoscience and healthcare. The outcome will be a victory for consumers and patients everywhere. The truth be told. Glycoscience (the study of all sugars - good and bad) is the future of medical science.

#DigitalAgeYogi — Has Social Media Changed Our Practice?
Has social media changed the way we view and do yoga? Is there something to be found in a partnership between the ancient science of yoga and the infant of social media?
I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to social media. I'm rubbish at tweeting, I mainly post holiday snaps on Facebook and I prefer good old-fashioned email to the plethora of other social media options out there. It all seems so overwhelming, but in the first decade of the 21st century social media burst onto the online scene and became a global phenomenon, and yogis are no exception. It's constantly changing the way we live, work, think and interact, and it's here to stay.
A Brief History of Social Media
Image Credit: Tina Leggio on Flickr.
For those of you out there who, like me, aren't quite sure which one does what and when they arrived on the online scene, here's a brief timeline of the history of social media:
1997 – The first ever recognisable social networking site, Six Degrees, was launched. It was called Six Degrees based on the concept of there being only six degrees of separation between every human on the planet. It closed in 2001, but at its height it had around 3.5 million members.
2003 – Before there was Facebook there was MySpace, which did not hold up well in the social media competition. However, in early 2013, it staged a comeback with the younger generation by reinventing itself as the social platform for music and entertainment.
2004 – Facebook: the behemoth of social networking sites, famously set up by Mark Zuckerberg in his college dorm. It now has over 1.4 billion monthly active users.
2005 – The video-sharing platform YouTube was set up by three Paypal employees and grew exponentially. On December 21, 2012, Gangnam Style became the first YouTube video to surpass one billion views.
2006 – Twitter started life as an SMS-based, peer-to-peer messaging service. The basic concept is that messages are all 140 characters of less, leading to a haiku-like style to their content. Nowadays, it's a global source of breaking news and information.
2010 — Instagram is currently the number one photo-sharing social platform. Only two months after it launched in October 2010 it had 1 million users. Users are described as having an 'Instagram persona', through which they 'share lifestyle moments'.
The New 'Social Yogi'
In the 1940s and 50s, early pioneers of yoga began trying to bring yoga to the people, and if they were around today they'd have a lot to thank social media for. From a tiny group of remote yogis practising in solitude in the foothills of the Himalayas we now have a global community of millions and millions of yoga practitioners sharing their experiences online.
No longer is yoga considered niche or hippy, it's established itself as one of the leading forms of fitness around the globe, in the U.S. alone over 20 million people consider themselves practicing yoga students. For yoga teachers, gone are the days when leafleting and the Yellow Pages were the only forms of marketing. There are now a multitude of free marketing tools to promote themselves and their businesses, with the potential to reach thousands of new clients.
Some teachers, such as Tara Stiles, have taken this to the next level, launching Youtube channels, lifestyle blogs, and attracting hundreds of thousands of views.
Inspiration or Clique?
Image Credit: Davide Ragusa on Unsplash.
There are a slew of yoga stars that have achieved the dizzy heights of thousands, even millions of followers on their Instagram or Twitter accounts: Rachel Brathen, Kerri Verna, Kino Macgregor, Acroyoga, Tara Stiles, Kathryn Budig, Laura Sykora and Masumi G, gypset goddess, Yogaracheal and Brian Miller to name but a few! The Instagram stars in particular are a certain breed of yogi, they even have a special title; they are 'insta-yogis'. They're generally slim, beautiful (male or female), freak-show-level bendy and seemingly exist on a diet of kale smoothies. Their clear dedication to āsana practice and stunning backdrops (and bodies) are definitely inspirational — but is it realistic?
To me, looking at the insta-yoginis takes me back to my school days, playing extra-curricular lacrosse for fun. Then we were sent out to play competitively against proper schools that had lacrosse as a sort of religion. The girls we played against were a different species of girl, with their bronzed, burnished limbs, and their blonde hair coiled up in massive, carelessly cool coils. They sported the latest kit which made ours look like it was hand-crafted using bits of flint from the stone ages. They won, always.
I see these Instagram yoginis like those girls — but instead of just being popular and cool at school, they're popular and cool everywhere. On the one hand they can be very inspirational, and have certainly gotten me out of bed early to get my practice in before the kids wake up, but it's hard to deny that element of ego that is involved with posting photos of ourselves in our best poses and constantly checking how many likes you've fetched.
What About Online Classes?
The other day I randomly chose to follow a lesson from a New Zealand duo on YouTube. The intro voiceover assures me that this workout will lead to 'strengthening of bones and increased energy'. Greg and Al, our likeable yoga instructors, do sensibly remind viewers that there are no substitutes for a real yoga class and offer encouragement to seek one out.
Then the lesson begins. I have to say, it was at that point when I realised why this particular lesson had over 1.5 million views. Greg and Al look abs-solutely, Ancient-Greek-God-like, and my attention from that point on was not 100% on the yoga I was being told to do…
However, there are some brilliant online yoga lessons out there, especially if you already have an established yoga practice. In conjunction with attending real-time classes with a teacher who can check your poses and keep you from injuring yourself, I would recommend going online to explore some new and exciting yoga styles.
Yoga Hashtags

If you want to be a social media-savvy yogi, here are a few of the more popular yoga hashtags that you ought to know and use…
#yogaeverydamnday — Used by bikini-clad, beach-babe yogis all over the world, this hashtag was started by @yoga_girl, Rachel Brathen. With over 1.7 million Instagram followers, she is the Queen of Surfboard yoga, whose aim is to take yoga "from social media to social mission."
#beachyoga — There is something about the combination of sun, sea, sand and bronzed bodies that seems to pull in the viewers. Can't think what… @beachyogagirl and @yoga_girl are just two of the poster girls for this particular hashtag.
#namaste — A Sanskrit form of greeting, it literally means 'a bow to you'. This has become a standard greeting for yogis to identify themselves on social media.
#yogi — A yogi used to mean a very thin Indian man sitting in Lotus Pose, now it's anyone who gets on their mat and gives yoga a go.
#love — Is the most popular hashtag ever. And that's not a bad word to spread around.
Social Media as a Positive Yoga Tool
As great as social media all is, it's not without its risks where your practice is concerned. Here are a few ideas to keep in mind amongst all the gloss and glitter of the online world of yoga:
Don't get distracted. It's very easy to spend too much time looking at other people doing yoga and not actually doing it yourself. To really utilise yoga and social media, you need to make sure that it isn't actually becoming another obstacle to yoga.
Keep yoga pure. Guess what one of the most popular yoga hashtags is. #yogapants, and it's not hard to guess why! Most of these shots tend to involve close ups of what inhabits our yoga pants – yoga bums. I was a bit horrified at how sexualised a lot of the yoga images were online. Try to keep in mind what it is you're sharing when you post an image: is it your pose or the body doing it?
Keep yoga real. Remember that while it's fine to get inspired by all the yoga online, it's the real yoga that really counts. Yoga in halls, rooms, in your own home. Yoga that doesn't necessarily look or feel pretty but that gets you on your mat, out of your mind and into your body.

Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, a former governor of Oyo state was discharged and acquitted today by a Federal High Court in Lagos, over a N4.7 billion fraud charge brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He further accused the EFCC of shielding the main culprits from prosecution and meting absolute injustice on Ladoja and Waheed Akanbi, the Commissioner for Finance during Ladoja's tenure who was the second defendant in the case.
He warned that the country cannot sustain a war against corruption if it's not founded on fairness, equity, compassion and responsibility.
Ladoja was Oyo governor between 2003 and 2007 (he was impeached in January 2016 but reinstated in December 2016) and made an unsuccessful attempt to return to the Government House in 2011.

Last year I announced the R2DBC Java User Group and recently I started the tour visiting various user groups and conferences. Reactive Relational Database Connectivity lifts a roadblock when integrating with SQL databases. It's an Open Source standardized API across multiple database drivers and an ongoing specification effort hosted on GitHub.
Don't do reactive because it's fancy, do reactive because you have to.
The R2DBC Tour has just started. Most significants learnings are about use-cases that are solved today with imperative/asynchronous programming and that can be solved in a more efficient way using reactive programming. Here are some impressions from the first talks in Bucharest at Voxxed Days Bucharest, Karlsruhe, Saarbrücken, and Mannheim.
In Bucharest, we had a great opportunity to discuss R2DBC with members of the MicroProfile community to see how MicroProfile could integrate with R2DBC with providing a client library on top of R2DBC.
Karlsruhe was a lot of fun and we had a good discussion when reactive programming makes sense and when it does not. Having an existing application is a good example of leaving things as is. Starting fresh with scalability requirements makes a good case for reactive programming if your team is willing and able to cope with a reactive mindshift. Still, you can benefit from reactive programming for individual, specific use-cases. Server-Sent-Events is one of these.
In Mannheim we discussed parameter bind markers in detail and how this compares to bind markers we are used to. Switching from anonymous (?) bind markers to named or indexed bind markers requires rethinking. In some cases it's important to retain portability across various databases. In other cases, portability is a non-issue.
R2DBC Tour continues next week in Berlin (at microXchg), Aachen, Paderborn, Hamburg, and Hannover. Stay tuned!

Aromatherapy may help relieve winter holiday stress.
While the winter holidays are supposed to be joyous occasions, a study conducted by Healthline finds that 62 percent of all respondents say they experience holiday stress because of the financial demands of buying presents, the stress of family dynamics, and the pressure to maintain healthy living regimes.
A growing body of evidence suggests that aromatherapy helps to reduce stress by calming nerves, relieving seasonal ailments, and enhancing moods. Those who experience holiday stress should try these three homemade diffuser recipes.
A spicy citrus diffuser blend may be able to help reduce stress. Moisture can be added to dry winter air by using this blend in an ultrasonic diffuser. It can also be used in a candle warmer.
The mixture should be kept in a colored glass jar that can be tightly sealed to protect it from ultraviolet light. Use 6 drops in a candle warmer or 13 drops in an ultrasonic diffuser.
Stuffy rooms in the winter often make people feel even more stressed. A diffuser blend featuring the scent of evergreen may help. This fragrance is especially helpful for relieving upper respiratory tract irritation.
Like the spicy citrus blend, 6 drops of this mixture should be used in a candle warmer, 13 drops in an ultrasonic diffuser, or 32 drops in a nebulizer. Store the leftover blend in a colored glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
People may try a leisurely soak to relieve stress during the holidays, and the bathtub is the perfect place to use a restful bath blend as it may help to relieve itchy winter skin and give the respiratory system a boost.
In order to make the restful bath blend, stir the essential oils into the almond oil and then add the Epsom salts. This essential oil mixture can also be made into a salt scrub if the rush of the holidays leaves no time for a leisurely bath.

In "Hi8" we follow Steven, a film student who intends to create the goriest horror movie of all time, his graduation film. The only problem is the lack of money. Even his lecturer does not support his plans. He claims the horror movie to be a inacceptable medium and does not honor any artist. Steven is aware that it is difficult to distribute genre movies in Germany but hope dies last. A mysterious website discovered by one of his friends raises hope. A single line framed by flames appears on the screen: 'God's messengers fall into hellfire, the angels' Stephen is not bothered by this phrase for he is more interested in the text's content. His eyes are fixed on the words 'filming', 'money', 'prompt cash'. Clicking the 'Send'-button unleashes an experience which affects his mind, flesh and bones. He will literally witness hell on earth.
I had never heard of this film going into it, so I had no clue what to expect. To me this film reminded me of a higher budget version of the AUGUST UNDERGROUND series, but a lower budget version of the HOSTEL films. They are all in the same vein, though. It basically follows Steven as he is kidnapped by the new "producers" of his horror film and is forced into a world of horror that Steven could have probably never imagined. He is forced to torture and kill, all in the name of cinema!
The film is very well made, with what looks to be all practical effects, something I am always happy to see in horror films. The acting is pretty good overall, especially from the female victim that is caged and put through hell. At times I actually wondered if they told her what all they would be doing and if some of the screaming and fear was actually real!
Devil's Domain tells the story of Lisa Pomson, a troubled, social media obsessed teen, conflicted with her sexuality and her parents misunderstanding of her. When Lisa gets secretly filmed binging, purging, and masturbating the video goes viral and she suffers extreme cyber-bullying. Suicidal, and on the brink of insanity, a beautiful, mysterious stranger (the Devil) strikes up an online relationship with her. They grow close and meet and the stranger offers to help in exchange for a favor. The devil will rid her of the bullies and give Lisa fame and fortune in exchange for a baby. Lisa agrees and as the bullies die one by one, Lisa's conscience kicks in and she regrets doing the deal. To keep Lisa in line, the Devil threatens eternal suffering and the death of her loved ones until she finally succumbs to give the devil a baby that will grow to reign terror upon the world.
The film is like a darker FINAL DESTINATION entry with each of Lisa's bullies dying one by one, each on in a unique and sometimes grotesque way! The acting is great here, especially from newcomer Madi Vodane who plays the main character Lisa. She does an excellent job as the tormented teen, Lisa.
One of my favorite parts about this film are the effects. The filmmakers rely on almost all practical effects which is very rare these days, but it makes a film so much more believable and likeable in my opinion. It was great to see some good gore in a horror film again. That is one of my main complaints with horror films these days, most are very light on the gore for some reason.
DEVIL'S DOMAIN was very enjoyable and entertaining film that I highly recommend.
Blu-ray review: ED WOOD'S "THE VIOLENT YEARS"
'I shot a cop -- SO WHAT!' So say the girl gang killers in THE VIOLENT YEARS! Written by Ed Wood (PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE), this is the story of teenage hellcats who live for gas station hijackings, pajama party orgies, and murder! From Wood's deranged dialogue to the scene where the girls perform a 'man attack,' this is an essential expose on crime, gender politics, and sweater-stealing.
Well, first off I have to mention that I know this isn't really a horror film. So what's it doing on horror website you might say? Well, as mentioned above it was written by Ed Wood, and that's a good enough reason for me. Wood is known for directing some awful films, but I have to tell you, he's not much of a writer either! Ha! In fact, the dialog is one of the best things about this film. It's really bad, but in a "so bad, it's good" kind of way. I knew I was in for a treat when a group of men were talking about the violent spree the group of girls were on and one said "When will these kids learn"? The other man's response was "These aren't kids, they're morons"! Ha! Classic Ed Wood dialog right there!
Another thing I loved about this film were the effects, or lack thereof. Anytime someone got shot, there was no blood or even a bullet hole, they would just hold their hand over where they had apparently been shot and fall to the ground. It was confusing at times because I didn't know if they had actually been shot or not, but I just took their word for it! Ha! This movie is no masterpiece by any means, but it does have a certain charm to it. It kept me entertained the entire running time, so that's good. Although I must note the running time in only 65 minutes, so I'm not sure if I could have made it if it was any longer!
Benedict High School's cheerleaders aren't shy and sweet. The football team knows them well – and Billy, the school's disturbed janitor, would like to. In the locker room, the girls shower and dress, unaware of the evil eyes which secretly watch them. They don't know that a curse has been placed on their clothes. And they don't know that their trip to the first big game of the season might sideline them for eternity. Will the cheerleaders succumb to the dark ritual of sexual sacrifice and death that's been plotted for them? Only those who dare watch will know!
I'll start by saying that I have a real fondness for 1970's horror films. There are some really fun 70's horror films and this is definitely one of them. I do have to admit that this film won't be for everyone, and as much as I liked it, there were some slow parts that even I could have done without. The running time clocks in at 93 minutes, which doesn't seem to long, but some parts did seem to drag on at times. I think a little tighter editing and something closer to a 83 minute running time could have really improved this film. Even so, this is one you'll want to check out.
SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS is full of crazy characters and some really cheesy 70's dialog, but that is really what gives it a lot of it's charms. I was also surprised at the lack of killing and gore...it has very little killing and no gore at all that I recall. This film is more about the storyline than effects or scares. It's a fun tale that just gets crazier and crazier as the film goes on.
The classic arcade game RAMPAGE is headed to the big screen!
Now, a major motion picture is coming out based on the game and it looks like it is going to be tons of fun! The film stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan from THE WALKING DEAD).
Check out the trailer for ASH VS. EVIL DEAD Season 3!
Are you a fan of ASH VS. EVIL DEAD on Starz? If so, check out the trailer for the upcoming 3rd season! It premieres Sunday, February 25th on Starz!
Greetings to all my fellow horror fans and 4H blog readers! I want to apologize for the lack of posts lately. It's a been a very busy last few weeks for me with some trips out of town, lots of evening activities for the kiddos, and just life in general. I will try to get back to posting on a more regular basis as soon as everything calms down a bit! Thanks for sticking with me and to show my appreciation....how about I do a FREE DVD giveaway soon! This is one you will not want to miss out on....stay tuned!!
If you are a fan of creature features, you will definitely want to keep an eye out for the upcoming film, ITSY BITSY. The film is basically done, but is currently seeking extra funds through a Kickstarter campaign in order to finish some visual effects, sound, and music.
Itsy Bitsy is an old-school creature film with a terrifying giant spider at the center, but the movie is about more than just about arachnid horror. Kara will have to deal with her internal and familial struggles while saving everyone from becoming spider food. It's as much a story about people and family as it is about an eight-legged monster. Mixing an emotionally charged character drama with chilling scares, Itsy Bitsy is a movie you'll be haunted by for years to come.
Check out the trailer and then click the link below to visit the Kickstarter page and help support this film!
It has been hailed as "raw, funny and twisted" (PopOptiq), condemned as "soul-crushing and dripping with filth" (NextProjection.com), and cheered as "a fresh new outsider vision" (Fantasia) at film festivals around the world. In this "sincerely disturbing" (Indiewire) debut from co-writer/director Andres Torres, a slow-witted misfit named Albert (Jon Wachter, giving what HorrorNews calls "the best male performance in a horror film this year") sells hot dogs all night from the most unsanitary food cart in downtown Manhattan. But when he's invited to become the new model for a manipulative fetish photographer (Theodore Bouloukos), Albert will be exposed to a seething city underbelly where desire masquerades as perversion and depravity poses as art. It may shock you. You might even be appalled. But you have never seen anything quite like BAG BOY LOVER BOY.
This really is one of the strangest horror films I have ever seen, and I highly doubt you have ever seen anything like it. The main character of Albert is one of the most awkward characters you will ever see in a film. He is very gullible and naïve, which gets him into a situation that spins out of his control. Parts of the film can be slow at times, but like NAPOLEON DYNAMITE, even in slow parts you can't help be entertained by the characters on screen. The main thing you'll notice from this film is the characters strange voice and speech style, it's sure to stick in your head long after the film is over.
The horror world lost another great legend in the death of director Tobe Hooper. Hooper was the director of my favorite horror film of all time, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. He died at the age of 74. I personally feel that THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE is the perfect horror film. No film has frightened me the way that one did, and still does to this day no matter how many times I have seen it.
Thanks for the great films Mr. Hooper! While you have moved on, your films will remain with us forever. Thank you!

GEORGE ROMERO: BETWEEN NIGHT AND DAWN will be released on 10/24/17, but is available for pre-order now from the MVD webshop.
I love when I get a movie to review that just so happens to be one of my favorite horror films of all time! It gives me a good excuse to go back and visit it again. Tonight's review is one of those films. I first saw RE-ANIMATOR when I was in the 6th grade and I fell in love with it. I still love it to this day. It is one of the few films I can watch over and over and never get bored with it.
One of the most wildly popular horror movies of all-time, Stuart Gordon's enduring splatter-comedy classic Re-Animator returns to Blu-ray in a stunning restoration packed with special features!
Based on H.P. Lovecraft's classic terror tale Herbert West - Reanimator and featuring a standout performance from Jeffrey Combs as the deliciously deranged West, Re-Animator remains the ground-zero of '80s splatter mayhem and one of the genre's finest hours.
I had the chance to watch this film years ago at a Horror Convention in Little Rock, AR with Jeffrey Combs and Stuart Gordon in attendance. It was fun to see this film on the big screen, especially with the director sitting 2 rows in front of me! It was just as fun watching it at home though, especially with this great new release from Arrow Video. This film is crazy with some great over the top gore effects, and like most films from this time period, all are practical effects. The film is also full of dark humor throughout. Jeffrey Combs was the perfect actor to play Dr. West, and the beautiful Barbara Crampton is great as always.
I can't recommend RE-ANIMATOR enough. If you have never seen it, please do so asap! If you have seen it, revisit it and especially check out this new release.

Some 2016 Ram 1500's have a dangerous defect in the left front halfshaft and the right front halfshaft. I'm not very good at math, but it sounds like you could end up with zero front halfshafts if you're not careful.
The recalled trucks were built between February 19, 2016 and March 3, 2016, and all will need both front halfshafts replaced.

Amazon's Fallout series unveils its first images, the result is incredible
Two years ago, Amazon announced its collaboration with Bethesda Game Studio for the production of a series on the cult license Fallout. After many months of waiting, the first information concerning the preparation of the project reached us at the beginning of 2022.
We learned that Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet have been chosen as showrunners. On the production side, it will be Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Jo, the producers of the Westworld series who will take care of the project.
Finally, in February, we learned that the actor Walton Goggins would occupy the main role of the series by playing a ghoul. Today, these are the first photos of filming leaked on the Net, allowing us to have a glimpse of the sets of the series. The result looks amazing.
The Fallout series, very faithful to video games
© Shamanomenon/Twitter
It is therefore through leaks on Twitter, on the account of Shamanomenon that we have discovered about ten photos of the sets of the Fallout series. These first images plunge us into the heart of a Vault-Tech atomic shelter that we find in all episodes of the saga. Obviously, this is Vault 32, a place we have never seen in video games. On the other hand, all Vault-Tech shelters are built in the same way and we recognize very well the atmosphere and the decorations that we have seen so many times in the games.
The colors, the shape of the structures, the objects present, everything is faithfully reproduced and shows that Amazon does not intend to do things by halves with its series. A few days earlier, we discovered the first photo of an exterior building and not just any. Indeed, we learned that Super Duper Mart stores would be present in the series.
The same week, a piece of power armor was found on the Net. This famous armor worn by members of the Brotherhood of Steel and which represents a whole symbol in the Fallout license.
These first images can only reassure fans of the saga. This shows that Amazon and Bethesda don't want to do things by halves. It only remains to hope that the series will be convincing in terms of the scenario. At this time, we don't know when Fallout will come to Amazon Prime Video. According to the latest rumors, the series would be expected for the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024.

There's a couple of stories for this post, so please bear with me if you don't care for the more rambly of stories. There's the story of how I got to Chow, and the story about the $6 hero special.
It was a viciously slumpy month for us, and we hadn't had many people coming in. Neither of us could figure it out. The food was good. The people working here were friendly and kind. The wait times to get said food was reasonable. So what gives? This is about the time that we started getting aggressive calls from the deals websites, where you would offer X amount of food for 1/2 the amount of cost.
What they don't tell you is that the business only sees about 1/2 of what you paid for that voucher. The site offering the promotion keeps the other half. It's essentially like a loan, but with even worse rates than the worst loan shark ever. You're selling food for half the amount that it's worth, and then only seeing half of that money that you sold the voucher for. However, when you're in a tight spot, you start to consider those things feasible.
I reached a point of frustration, and said, "What about the folk who come here every day? If we're willing to sell our food for a fraction of what it's worth, and consider it promotion budget (advertising budget), then why can't we just offer the savings directly to the customers?" "Good point", he said. So we hatched the $6 hero deal. You get just the sandwich (no cheese, no Chow Slaw, no pickle. Which also means that the packaging is slashed by 75%, because now you just need to pack the sandwich in a piece of parchment paper, some foil, and a paper bag if the customer wants. With the regular heroes, it's the slaw, placed into a ramekin with its lid, the pickle, wrapped in foil, a fork, because you need something to eat the slaw with, and then the bag to carry that whole shebang with you. Yipes!
At the end of the day, it was cheaper for us too. And it made it so that people got to try our awesome sandwiches. And it meant that we could give people exactly what they wanted. It also meant that during our historically slow times (between 12 and 2), we could get more people to come in. The response was spectacular. People loved the fact that they could get a Kosher, vegan, organic sandwich for the cost of a couple of cups of coffee at certain national branded coffee chain. What's even better is that if you really did want the pickle or the slaw, you could request the stuff and pay a little extra, at your option.
So Cliff said, "It's like when you open up to the world with generosity, the universe brings it back to you."
It inspired us to really take a look at our menu, and look at the things that have gone down in cost, things that are easier to have made, because now everyone knows how to do them, and where we could offer lower prices and keep the "extras" on the side. We went through and pulled back the cost of a couple of the tapas, decreased the cost of the hero (now $10 instead of $12, and the cheese is $2 extra; so many people didn't get the cheese that it didn't seem fair to charge them for something they didn't want). We also decreased the cost of some of the desserts (cupcake, pound cake, etc).
Again, it was about opening up our arms, and letting folk know that we're thinking about them. Since we started getting a better price for our organic sugar and flour, we could afford to cut back the cost of those two things.
So now, a sandwich costs $10 (normal price), and a cupcake is $2.75. For a little more than what you used to pay for just a sandwich, you get a sandwich /and/ a dessert. And so now, people are actually ordering them way more frequently than they ever have before.
Which kind of brings me back to how I started working here in the first place.
It was back in November of 2007, and Steve and I had just moved to New York city. He had a job at the time, and was pulling in decent money. I didn't have to work, but I didn't want to faff about the house, doing nothing at all. However, I did love to cook (always had) and had a few copies of my cookery book with me. My Steve had let me know that a friend of a friend was working for NYU SEAL (an animal rights club), and they needed help with cooking for about 50 people, on a $50 budget.
Also, nobody could afford to do it from a restaurant, because they didn't have that kind of money.
Also, they wanted it vegan, and local, and seasonal.
Also, they couldn't afford to pay me.
I wasn't bothered about the money. I just love a challenge like that. I let Ashleigh (this was the person in charge of the food) that not only could we feed everyone who came, but we could feed them rice, beans, salad, and a vegetable dish, along with some kind of apple crisp. Yes, for less than the $50.
She was thrilled, and offered to buy me lunch at my favourite restaurant: Sacred Chow. Every time I came up to New York, I would jump in a Taxi and ask to be taken to Sacred Chow for at least one meal there. And at the end of each meal, I'd get a sinner bar. When Ashleigh offered to take me there, I jumped at the chance, so that the two of us could meet in person, and chatter away at each other about the food.
Apparently, she could offer a kitchen in one of the dorms nearby. It was fairly ill-equipped, but we'd have a lot of helpers. Also, the helpers had plenty of heart. I realise that this all sounds like a bad movie script, but it all really did happen.
You see, when you grow up poor, one of the things that you realise early on is that you can't always offer money to a cause, even though you may feel strongly about its goals. So you offer your time, your talents, and your heart. My mother was very good at this. Every week, when the Hindu temple in South Florida was a house that the community bought together, and filled with an altar and the things needed for a temple, my mother would pile us all into the car hours before the services started, loaded with food (at least a rice dish, and sometimes a rice dish and a vegetable dish), and all the kids. We'd get there very early, clean everything up, make it look presentable, and set out the floor mats for the people to come in and sit on. Then, we'd leave hours after everything was done.
Whatever the other people did or didn't think of it, whether or not they gave her any credit for it, whether they were jerks (and they were) or decent humans (rare, if ever) about freely asking my mother (who had a budget about 1/10 of what most of them worked with) for food (seriously), my mother was there every sunday, with large amounts of food. Why? Because she knew how to take a few dollars, and make them feed lots of people. I share that talent.
Ashleigh and I chatted for at least a couple of hours, in the empty restaurant.
SLAM!
Someone had slammed the door to the basement.
STOMP. STOMP. STOMP.
"You guys should NOT be eating here. The owner is a HORRIBLE man, and exploits his workers." (Side note: turns out she was stealing. How charming, right? The boss is a lovely man, for the record.)
STOMP STOMP STOMP.
She reached the door. She walked out, and slammed the outside door.
The outside door that has one of those hydraulic things that keeps it from slamming.
Made impotent by the uncaring door, the girl kicked the door with all her might, and stormed off. Ashleigh and I looked at each other in stunned silence, and burst out laughing. The waitperson apologised profusely for that particular little scene, and we both let her know that it was too funny /not/ to laugh at.
At the end of the meal, I approached the waitperson, and said, "OK, so it looks like you'll need a new worker."
She asked me to drop off my resume the next day.
The rest, as they say, is history.
What I'm getting at is that I was at the right place at the right time. I was there, because through some weird unconnected events, I was giving of my time and talents to a cause I believed in. They didn't have much money, and had to feed many people on very little money. The food turned out fantastic. Everyone was very impressed that we managed it for such a small amount of money.
Fast forward to a year or two later. Ashleigh called me to place an order for catering from Chow for her SEAL organisation.
I met my darling husband, because I was sitting in a vegan chat room a few years back, and sharing my cooking techniques with people. They would say, "Dino, I've got ____, ____, and ___, and I'm hungry now. Can you tell me what to do with that?" And I would. I'd give them about five or six different options for the stuff they had around the house. Then they'd come back in 30 minutes, and rave about how the food was so good.
Later, when I needed a vegan wallet, and mentioned it in passing (because carrying the leather one was making me a little ill whenever I thought of where it came from), Steve piped up and let me know that he makes wallets, and that he'd be sending me one, for free, "... because you help so many people out in so many ways, and I'm happy to do this for you."
Five years later, that gesture of kindness turned into a marriage that's given me more love and happiness than I could have ever imagined possible. And now that it's legal for us to get married, we've booked the Judson church, where Steve proposed to me (again) on Pride Sunday to ask me to officially marry him.
I said yes.

Today's fundraising environment is a paradox. Online marketing gives us more opportunities than ever to reach new donors; yet actually growing your donor file is more difficult than ever before.
Traditional online marketing tactics don't lend themselves well to actual donor growth, because a fundraising relationship really begins with empathy. This means stepping out from behind the marketing automation and making real connections with your donors.
On Thursday, August 11, Brian Carroll – former Chief Evangelist at MECLABS and best-selling author of Lead Generation for the Complex Sale – shared 7 ways you can use empathy in your fundraising to grow your donor file.

Q: Laurent Series, Cauchy, Pole Order http://gyazo.com/8ef04b854bc3bbfb6b55a9af45e51fdc.png
Since $f(z)$ not differentiable at $0$, isolated singularity at $z = 0$. By expanding the Laurent series and looking at the first term, I got a pole of order $3$ (is there a more proper way to get this?).
For $a_{-1}$ I got $-8\pi{i}/3$. Now I don't know how to do the last question. Do I use a circle of radius $3$ for C? Wouldn't that just give me $a_{-1}$ back? Help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

A: You have an entire function $f$ with a well-known Taylor series. To obtain the Laurent series of $\dfrac{f(z)}{z^k}$ about $0$, you just take the Taylor series of $f$ and divide that by $z^k$, there is no better way. Here, we have
$$\frac{\sin (2z)}{z^4} = \frac{1}{z^4}\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n}{(2n+1)!}(2z)^{2n+1} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n 2^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!} z^{2n-3}.$$

For a_-1 I got -8pi*i/3

There is no $\pi$ in sight in the Laurent series, and the coefficients are real. The coefficient $a_{-1}$ is obtained by picking the term for $n = 1$ in the series above, that yields
$$a_{-1} = \frac{(-1)^1 2^3}{3!} = -\frac{4}{3}.$$
What you have written down is the answer to the last question. Since $\dfrac{\sin (2z)}{z^4}$ has no other singularities,
$$\oint_C \frac{\sin (2z)}{z^4}\,dz$$
is, for $C$ a contour winding once around the origin, $2\pi i$ times the residue in $0$, that is, $2\pi i a_{-1}$, irrespective of the chosen contour, as long as the origin doesn't lie on the contour, and it winds once around the origin. Generally,
$$\oint_C \frac{\sin (2z)}{z^4}\,dz = 2\pi i \; n(C,0) a_{-1},$$
where $n(C,0)$ is the winding number of $C$ around the origin.

A: Write $$f(z)=({sin(2z)}/z)z^{-3}.$$ Then the first factor is analytic in $z=0$ and tends to 2 as $z\rightarrow{0}$. The integral $$∮_{C}dzsin(2z)/z⁴=∮_{C}dz{\{}sin(2z)/z{\}}1/(z³)$$ vanishes. This is usually proven by using polar coordinates and integrating along a circle around the pole. Put $z=r{\text{exp}}[iϕ]$. Then $$∮_{C}dz((sin(2z))/z)(1/(z³))∼2∮_{C}dz(1/(z³))=2{\int}{_0}^{2π}dϕir{\text{exp}}[iϕ](1/(r³{\text{exp}}[3iϕ]))=((2i)/(r²)){\int}{_0}^{2π}dϕ{\text{exp}}[-2iϕ]=0$$  Edit: As pointed out by @Daniel Fisher and @DonAntonio I made a mistake. Here is an improved (and hopefully correct version.$$
 f(z)  = \frac{sin(2z)}{z^4}=\frac{1}{z^4}{\{}2z-\frac{(2z)^3}{3!}+\frac{(2z)^5}{5!}-…{\}}=\frac{2}{z^3}-\frac{4}{3z}+\frac{4}{15}z-…,
 = \frac{2}{z^3}-\frac{4}{3z}+{\{}f(z)-\frac{2}{z^3}+\frac{4}{3z}{\}}=\frac{2}{z^3}-\frac{4}{3z}+g(z)$$where $g(z)$ is analytic in $0$. Now $$∮_{C}dzf(z)=∮_{C}dz\frac{sin(2z)}{z^4}=∮_{C}dz{\{}\frac{2}{z^3}-\frac{4}{3z}+g(z){\}}=∮_{C}dz{\{}\frac{2}{z^3}-\frac{4}{3z}{\}}=-\frac{4}{3}∮_{C}dz\frac{1}{z}=-\frac{4}{3}2πi=-\frac{8πi}{3}$$

I have a new job (Developer Advocate with IBM Cloud Data Services) and subsequently a new work laptop. It's a mac and after almost 10 years as a linux-only user, that's rather a shock! Due to some nasty RSI issues, I don't use a mouse or any other pointing device*, so as well as learning a whole new operating system I also needed to learn its accessibility tools. I'm still at the swearing stage but mostly past the tears so I thought I would share what I've found - using a computer from the keyboard is fast and productive for everyone as well as less painful for me, so you may find some tools in here that you want to try yourself.
I collected all my tools, my own notes and scribbled cheatsheets and put them into this gist so that I could refer to them later; I also intend to keep updating this as a reference. You're welcome to look and to share your own tips and tricks in the comments, once I get to grip with the tools I'm already learning, I'm sure there's more that I'd like to try!

Contact us by email or phone and one of our friendly staff can take down the information.
There are 2 options for us to consider to ensure we enable the maximum legitimate claims possible.
Option 1: Analysis of the purchase transaction, including any pre-purchase renovations.
Typically the option if purchase within the past 5 years. (Effectively the information is taken from your Contract of Sale - Please forward the contract directly to us if that is easier).
Option 2: Analysis of a construction or renovation.
Analysis of the construction is typically the option if the land is purchased separately and the improvements built subsequently.
Analysis of renovations is typically the option if renovations have been done post purchase. (In some instances, it has been worthwhile to do both option 1 and 2 if each represent significant enough claims to warrant).
If you had any furniture packages included in the purchase price please include a detailed list of items or full inventory of furniture and we are happy to include those in the report too.
If you require any extra information or need any help completing the form, please do not hesitate to contact us - we are happy to help!
