È noto per aver diretto il film Hotel Transylvania e i due sequel Hotel Transylvania 2 e Hotel Transylvania 3 - Una vacanza mostruosa, oltre che per il suo lavoro sulle serie televisive animate come Il laboratorio di Dexter, Le Superchicche, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars e Primal.

Nel 2015, per contrasti con la nuova direzione artistica della Sony Pictures Animation, si è dissociato dalla realizzazione di Popeye, il nuovo film in computer grafica su Braccio di Ferro per dedicarsi a Can You Imagine?, un fantastico viaggio attraverso l'immaginazione di un ragazzo, tratto da un'idea originale del regista ispirata dalle proprie esperienze personali.

Suoi precisi e riconoscibili marchi di fabbrica sono i continui riferimenti alla cultura pop e i lunghi momenti senza dialoghi, che avvengono in quasi ogni puntata delle sue serie. Dal 2000 è sposato con Dawn David.

Tartakovskij ha lavorato agli storyboard e alla previsualizzazione di Iron Man 2, sequel del film del 2008.

Sometimes you only see what you're looking for when you're lost or in the dark. Or you see one thing and think it is something else entirely.
I'm now 53, and I've been single most of my adult life. Illusive sightings have been all too frequent; being endowed with a phenomenon called adaptive optics, I often saw desirable traits in potential mates–traits that couldn't be found upon closer inspection.
During my single years, I desperately wanted to be happily married, victim as I was of a childhood in the fifties where Father Knows Best represented the ultimate in marriage and family. I would be in a family like that someday, as soon as I found my very own husband. When scouting for a mate, I had just a few criteria: the man had to dance, have a sense of humor, like books, and enjoy the outdoors. Oh, and he had to make eye contact. In fact, if a guy made eye contact with me I considered us engaged. At these times, when I believed with all my heart that I'd tracked down a likely candidate, he'd disappear in a flash–just like the mountain lion I thought I saw one day in the woods. If I did actually succeed in catching a man, I'd usually discover he wasn't a keeper.
Married men pretended to be single. One married man, much older than I (elderly is more like it), kept offering me new fifty dollar bills in hopes of getting at least an occasional feel. I finally took one, a fifty that is, giving the man a wink as I walked away. Then I drove to a hardware store, bought two gallons of paint, went home and painted my living room while listening to the Beatles' song, Can't Buy Me Love. Other bottom feeders accosted me as well. Don't misunderstand. I'm quite average looking. I blend in with my environment much like a moth whose markings resemble the bark of her favorite tree.
Then there were those two brief marriages, after which I reclaimed my birth name. Dozens of failed relationships followed, some with men I hardly knew. I finally gave up the idea that I was marriage material and decided never to remarry. In my late thirties I put myself through college. When I graduated, the U.S. Forest Service hired me as a landscape architect. Now, if you're interested in geezers, the Forest Service is an agency of unusual species richness. Some of them, especially those in the earlier stages of achieving geezer status, can be quite charming. I did have several wonderful female friends, most of them single and all of them characters of the independent, outspoken variety. We hiked, skied, talked about good books, went to art galleries, and, yes, talked a lot about men.
After all that, after I'd concluded that I simply wasn't marriage material–here I am, married.
I first spotted Tom one evening in December, 1992, at a country and western dance class in Helena, Montana. I'd been going to the class with a man whose girlfriend kept showing up and making a scene, so I told him he should take dance lessons with her. A few weeks later, after I'd worked up enough courage to go back to the class, I went alone. The first hour of class was line dancing–something you do solo–but for the second part of the lesson you needed to be half of a couple.
I glanced over at him–tall, handsome, silver-haired, distinguished looking, and obviously brilliant. I shook my head. Quite frankly, I'm more comfortable with short, nerdy guys. "Handsome men are nothing but trouble," Mom had also said. But I love to dance, and the music was beginning . . . some girls don't like boys like me, aw . . . but some girls do . . . A nice slow swing dance.
"Go ahead," Mary said, giving me a push.
I was a goner. We laughed and tripped through the lesson. When I couldn't get a swing step right he accused me of being afraid to bump into his chest, so just to disprove his comment I hugged him goodbye. Since he lived in Bigfork, three and one-half hours north of Helena, I didn't expect to see him again. Then he said, "If you ski, come on up and I'll show you around Big Mountain." Just a few weeks later, my truck, Streak, and I were on the road for Bigfork.
If you believe with all your heart that you have seen something, does it qualify as a sighting?
During our courtship, Tom and I took many hikes in the woods. Tom longed to see wolves, so I arranged an April weekend at a cabin west of Glacier National Park along the North Fork of the Flathead River, home of the North Fork wolf pack. The Forest Service rental cabin faced east, overlooking the Flathead River and miles of meadow. Beyond, above a dark blue line of conifers, the white peaks of Glacier National Park glowed in the late afternoon light. As we left the cabin with our binoculars for a hike, the hard, crusty snow crunched under our boots. We saw a few deer and birds, but the wolves must have heard us coming and cleared out.
Down in the meadow the snow was wet and my light hiking boots quickly became soaked. My cold feet ached. If my toes didn't get warm soon I'd surely lose them, but I didn't want to complain or cut short our hike. We ambled slowly back up the hill and returned to the cabin. When Tom discovered how cold my feet were, he removed my wet boots and socks and held my icy feet on his bare chest, warm as a wood stove. At exactly that moment I decided to marry him.
One day several years ago, my truck, Streak, and I became hopelessly lost on a muddy ridge top logging road somewhere west of Priest Lake, Idaho. While driving through an old clear-cut I became enveloped in a cloud of Monarch butterflies, fluttering all around me. All I could see was a swirl of orange effervescence. I could hardly see the road, or maybe I wasn't even on a road. Maybe I had driven over the edge and entered heaven in an orange halo. The butterflies escorted me for several minutes before I found myself on the other side of their magic, on a muddy road in a clear-cut.
Much of my courtship with Tom was like driving while under the influence of butterflies. This sensitive, warm, affectionate man seemed interested in many of my favorite things. He talked and, even better, he listened. Oh, we had our differences. The word Republican immediately threw up a stop sign in my head–except that during his two terms as a legislator, Tom had introduced a statewide land planning bill, music to the ears of any landscape architect. He liked books but only read non-fiction, and instead of movies he watched documentaries. Our biggest difference, however, proved to be that he was deeply religious while I was much more of a naturalist with a Unitarian view of things–be considerate of others and remember to recycle.
A Justice of the Peace named Wally married us on September 1, 1993. Wally, an acquaintance of Tom's during his years in politics, asked us one at a time if we agreed to conduct ourselves in specific, positive ways throughout our marriage. We each eagerly said "Yes." My son, Jeff, age 23 at the time, served as witness, best man and ring bearer at this lovely, straightforward ceremony that changed my name from Rae Ellen Moore to Rae Ellen Lee. After Tom, Jeff and I ate lunch at The Windbag Saloon on Helena's Last Chance Gulch, Tom and I headed south to the Jarbidge Wilderness of Northern Nevada for a backpacking honeymoon.
I'm a careful person. For years I did not engage in the activity of hiking in grizzly country. When I'd see a bright red sign at a trailhead that blared You are entering grizzly country, I usually turned around and ran back to my truck. The Jarbidge Wilderness had no grizzlies, but after our honeymoon, after we returned home to reality, Tom and I found that it was grizzly country at our house. Even the butterflies were gone. The courtship and honeymoon had been one thing; life on a daily basis was something else entirely. If we discovered an area of our marriage where a problem didn't already exist, we'd invent one. Had we, as a couple, been only an optical illusion? Would this marriage, too, become a catch and release statistic?
Although we decided to take the road less traveled and stay married, we could never have imagined the schemes we'd devise and the curious plots and places in which we'd find ourselves, during our search for those missing butterflies.
Tom's mother, Alta, a high-spirited lady approaching 80, was healthy, except she needed a new heart valve.
"She probably met some old duffer in the waiting room and ran off with him to a Caribbean Island," I suggested.
"Yeah, probably with a geezer whose big dream in life was to fix up an old sailboat and sail it around the world. Might have been his last chance," Tom added.
"Maybe Alta wanted to try snorkeling while she still could," I said, imposing a long-submerged dream of mine into the plot.
Tom and I finally found Alta waiting in a room to see the anesthesiologist. The next day she sailed through her surgery and became the proud new owner of a pig valve. Sometimes we said "oink, oink" to her instead of "hi" or "hello." For fifty-somethings, we don't always act too mature.
But where had this sailboat idea come from? Tom was a person who loved to backpack and take close-up photos of two bugs doing it on some alpine floral wonder up on a mountain top. You sure don't get to know a man until you marry him. Tom had only once mentioned sailing a scow when he was a kid in Minnesota. And I'd only ever seen sailboats off in the distance. One August in the early 1980s, my son, Jeff, and I drove 500 miles to the San Juan Islands with our bicycles hanging off my VW beetle. When we arrived at Lopez Island, Jeff, age 10 at the time, said disgustedly, "There's hills here." So we put the bikes back on the car, drove around the island and headed back home. It was on this outing that I caught a glimpse of a few sailboats. Until then, sailboats existed in my brain cells at about the same level of knowing as, say, seagulls.
Driving home from the hardware store one Saturday, I said, "They go to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where they don't need passports." I had friends who'd recently visited St. John and loved it.
"Story ideas flew back and forth. We talked about the characters as if they were real, as if they were our friends. We called our story idea, Hollis and the Wild Woman.
So, now I'll tell you about our own story–the one we were actually living when we conceived the idea for our novel. Tom and I didn't live together except on weekends. He worked in Kalispell, Montana, as a precision machinist and lived in Bigfork during the week. I lived in Rimini, an old mining town near the Continental Divide, and worked in Helena as a landscape architect for the U.S. Forest Service. Tom is very smart and can do many kinds of work, but it was easier to find a tropical beach in Helena than it was for him to find a good job. His political science degree and years of experience as a commercial pilot, DEA agent, farmer, seminary student, furniture builder, machinist, and legislator didn't seem to qualify him for any job in Helena, not even the new dog catcher position that opened up. So every weekend he commuted about 180 miles and nearly four hours each direction on the Swan Highway, so named because it follows along the west side of the Swan Range. The highway is narrow and scenic and has a high accident rate. Every Friday evening Tom arrived at the renovation project I called home–an old brothel in Rimini.
The year before I met Tom, I'd bought the place for the price of a used car and then paid a lot of money to a local carpenter who saved the old two-story building from collapsing by installing the following items: new rafters, new roof, new second floor joists and floor, new foundation, and new first floor joists and floor. Since it wasn't possible for me to take out a construction loan on a pile of weathered boards, on a piece of land with no title insurance, I had to take out numerous signature loans. These loans dried up my cash flow to the extent that I could no longer keep my apartment in Helena. In June, 1993, a few months before Tom and I married, I moved into the brothel. By that time the carpenter had made the building structurally sound, but the interior was unfinished. Tom and I never called the place a house–always the brothel.
It's probably just as well that Tom and I didn't live together, because for all the fun we sometimes had hiking and skiing, we sure didn't get along very well on weekends. We spent a lot of time with a marriage counselor we called Bedrock, because that's where he took us, back to the core where our little inner children fought together on the playground we now called our marriage. The prognosis was that our dysfunctions were incompatible; however, with hard work and a lot of humor, which we had, we just might make it. So we talked and cried and laughed as much as we could, while cutting, sanding and nailing boards, in an effort to finish the brothel. Maybe we made up the story of Hollis and The Wild Woman for some relief from the relentless discussions about us and our problems.
The brothel and the two other log buildings on the place were served by an outhouse. In fact, I had no plumbing at all. On weekends, Tom and I would drive about ten miles to get water from a spring next to Highway 12 at MacDonald Pass. In summer, after filling our gallon jugs at the spring, we hiked nearby on the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. In winter, we took along our cross-country skis. At least with no running water at the brothel, we didn't have to worry about the pipes freezing.
For it was cold in Rimini. In fact, it was a lot like Siberia. In the evenings we sometimes read aloud from the lively, funny book, Tent Life in Siberia, written by George Kennan about his 1860's effort to find a telegraph route between America and Europe via Siberia. George and his team met many Koraks, both settled and nomadic inhabitants of Siberia, and stayed with them in their tents and yurts during their travels across the tundra. We began to call ourselves Korak Construction Company, just for grins, using the term Korak to mean people like us who lived in crudely built, spartan, and sometimes untidy surroundings. For instance, we called the floor of our renovation project the big table, because that's where most things lay. We joked about the washboard road that kept building up on our plywood floor from the sandy soil we tracked in and out.
This lifestyle was not new to me, having grown up on a stump ranch. Whenever I brag about this aspect of my childhood, people always ask, "What in the world is a stump ranch?" Well, it's a piece of land that's been clear-cut. After the slash is burned, the stumps turn black, the grass grows back a bright green, and the land is sold for a cheap price. This practice still occurs in North Idaho. We owned 80 acres but lived in the valley where most of the stumps grazed (for if you blurred your eyes they resembled a herd of black angus cattle). Our particular valley had once been an ancient oxbow of the Priest River. Conifer-covered hills above the former river banks protected us from wind on three sides. Pockets of river clay low on the hillsides gave my sisters and me hours of play, shaping and drying clay items. In early spring, water ponded in the lowest areas of the valley and produced polliwogs to play with, and in early summer the entire valley was carpeted with wild strawberries. For years we tracked clay and dirt onto the plywood floors of the house my dad built. And it's because of this stump ranch heritage that I wore the Korak tribute so easily. Tom, on the other hand, was new to this rustic barn board and plywood culture.
While the real Koraks in Tent Life had their dogs to keep them company around the fire, I had my cats. When I'd don my hides and furs to trek to the outhouse, my old cat, Fatty, followed me, opened the door with his big paw, jumped up onto the adjacent seat, walked onto my lap and talked to me. He made funny little meows that sounded almost like words. When I'd say something back to him, like "You be careful when you jump up here or you might fall into the hole," he'd tilt his head and meow in such a way that I knew, without question, that he thought I was the most interesting conversationalist he'd ever heard, and he wanted to hear more. Fatty was more fun to talk with than many humans I knew, and I'm not the only one who noticed his outstanding personality. Several friends mentioned it, and Tom, although he's allergic to cats, reported having some very intelligent discussions with Fatty in the outhouse.
During the week, when Tom was in Bigfork, both Fatty and my crippled cat, Spook, stayed indoors with me at night in the brothel. The three of us sat around the wood stove together in the evenings, shooting the breeze. Spook listened attentively as Fatty and I conversed. When it came time for me to go upstairs to bed the cats hopped up the stairs behind me, watched as I crawled under the down comforter, then climbed on the bed and curled up next to me. As we drifted off to sleep, we lay in the dark listening to the neighbor's dogs bark and the slabs of snow calving off the new metal roof.
Neither ghosts nor bad dreams scare me.
While Tom and I worked weekends to finish the old place, we continued to kick around the story of Hollis and the Wild Woman. We finally put down the saws and hammers, cleaned the sawdust off the computer and began to write out a story line. After numerous error messages, like ABORT, RETRY, FAIL, which at the time reminded us too much of our lives, we completed an outline and character descriptions. We did this based on instructions in a used book on how to write a novel. When I read the story line to my writing group they loved it, but one woman said, "Well! You can't write about the Virgin Islands if you haven't even been there." She, of course, had been there, and she was right. It was essential that we take a research trip to the U. S. Virgin Islands.

Q: Energy in an electron/positron electric field shortly after pair production Just a quick thought, I was considering the energy contained within the electric field and was curious about the following situation:
Consider you create an electron/positron pair (using a third body as is required of course). Considering that the electric field of the two (a dipole field mostly) would spread outward at the speed of light, one would have that the energy of the system is continually increasing as the field spreads out over space. Where does this come from? I get that I'm ignoring full quantum field effects and that is probably the answer to this. Don't be afraid to dive into the math for an answer.
I'm sure it's simple and I'm just missing it.
EDIT
From another perspective (more in the context of QED), one could ask about the self energy (due to the electric field) of an electron/positron pair. The question in this case would be is there a time dependence on the mass/energy renormalization that quickly approaches (after pair production and as the field spreads out in space) the value we take for constant?

Soccer team enters CYC tournament
Cory Schmitt|September 22, 2010
The varsity boys soccer has entered play in the 56th Annual CYC St. Louis-area soccer tournament with a record of 5-2-2. This includes a 1-0 loss to Timberland High School last Thursday. Timberland had ended the Spartans' state run last year, defeating them in district play.
According to junior midfielder Ryan Miller, assistant coach Nick Beckmann has been working on a few key aspects in order to improve team play.
"[Coach Beckmann] is working with us to push the speed of play," said Miller. "We are also working on increasing our total possession time."
The team's first match of the tournament was tuesday afternoon, the team tied Granite City High School 1-1 at McCluer North. The team will play additional matches on Wednesday and Thursday, with elimination beginning after that. If the team makes it to the championship game, the match will be played on Saturday, Sep. 25.

As iTunes U, a free content-management system from Apple Computer Inc. that adapts Apple's iTunes for campus use, becomes more popular on college campuses, many schools are choosing to make their educational content available not only to students, but to the general public as well.
The University of California, Berkeley, in late April announced Berkeley on iTunes U, a free service that makes video and audio recordings of course lectures available both on and off campus through Apple's iTunes Music Store.
Berkeley on iTunes U is open to the public as well as to all UC Berkeley students, bringing the campus's multimedia assets together.
UC Berkeley's system of "coursecasting" lets students and the general public download audio and video recordings of class lectures to their computers, iPods, and other MP3 players.
"I can pull out my iPod at any time, whether I'm in the car, or on the plane, or on the treadmill, and go over the material that I didn't quite understand, or just listen to the parts that interested me," said UC Berkeley freshman Danielle Ownbey.
In 2001, UC Berkeley's Educational Technology Services division began webcasting lectures and special events to students and the public, and last year it began introducing podcasting courses. Since then, more faculty members have been signing on to the program.
Once users subscribe to a course through Berkeley on iTunes U, the latest course material is automatically delivered to the user's podcasting device. Listeners also can browse and download individual files. UC Berkeley's podcasting system is automated and remotely controlled.
"All the instructor has to do is show up and turn on the microphone," Greenberg said. "At each lecture, I feel that I am presenting European history not just to my students but to the world," said UC Berkeley history professor Thomas Laqueur, who has received positive feedback from subscribers in countries such as Sweden, India, and China. The University of Michigan's Stephen M. Ross School of Business is making select content available to the public through Ross on iTunes U, which offers free access to events, seminars, and news.
"Making Ross on iTunes U open to the public will give prospective students, alumni, and the business community in general an easy way to experience the quality and depth of what's happening at Ross," said Brian Greminger, assistant director of computing services at UM's Ross School.
Another advantage of using iTunes software, says Greminger, is that schools can subscribe to categories and channels of content, and the podcasts can be automatically downloaded to a Mac or a PC, allowing users to get just the content they are interested in without having to actively search for it.
Duke University's Fuqua School of Business also has joined in the trend; the school recently launched Fuqua on iTunes–a web-based application that enables users to download Fuqua speeches, interviews, and conference presentations to their iPods. The site can be accessed free of charge by the public.
At the K-12 level, administrators at Florida's Broward County Public Schools say they are in talks with Apple to use the company's iTunes U solution to make content and services available to all stakeholders.
Broward County officials say that while the idea is still in the conceptual stage, they hope to be able to use iTunes U to make content available on all kinds of media devices, such as Sony PlayStation Portables (PSPs), not just iPods. If the project is successful, Broward reportedly would become the first such educational customer to do this.


23rd of July, Chisinau – The ways of consolidating cooperation in the fields of internal affairs, combating corruption, civil aviation, culture, education and strategic communication were discussed during the Moldovan – Croatian Joint Commission of European integration.

Nasheed: U.S. President John F. Kennedy chose to go to the moon. Our generation must choose to remain on planet Earth.
(CNN) -- In September 1962, at a rally at Rice University in Houston, Texas, President John F. Kennedy told the American people: "We choose to go to the moon."
The speech set out Kennedy's historic vision for American involvement in space. At the time, the United States did not possess the knowledge, had not acquired the expertise or fully budgeted the money to make the pledge a reality. Yet Kennedy's bold announcement inspired a generation of Americans to make the seemingly impossible, possible. Seven years later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took their famous first step onto the lunar surface.
As world leaders prepare to leave for the Copenhagen climate change talks, to tackle the great challenge of this decade, we need a global vision equal to Kennedy's. Sadly, this political leadership is lacking.
Climate change is happening faster and with greater severity than anyone predicted. In the past couple of decades, a quarter of the North Pole has melted, Australia has been afflicted by near-constant deadly drought and pests are wreaking havoc in warming North American forests.
The G8 group of rich countries has pledged to hold temperature rises to two degrees Celsius and atmospheric carbon pollution at 450 parts per million. Events on the ground now prove that this commitment is inadequate. With so much havoc being caused by less than one degree of warming, why would we aim for two?
The world's top climatologists, such as James Hansen at NASA, state that carbon concentrations in the atmosphere must be reduced from today's level of 387ppm, to a safer level below 350ppm if catastrophic and irreversible climate change is to be averted. To hit this planet-saving target, transformative change is required.
The Maldives -- a low-lying island nation, just one-and-a-half meters above the Indian Ocean -- sits at the climate change front line. The Maldives is, nevertheless, trying to show the way by becoming carbon neutral in 10 years, transforming its fossil fuel economy to one based solely on renewable energy and green technology.
Since announcing the carbon neutral policy in March this year, the Maldives has undergone something of an environmental enlightenment. We have signed two agreements with international energy companies to build large wind farms; investors are proposing to turn our garbage into green electricity; and some of our famed luxury tourist resorts have pledged to become carbon neutral themselves.
Local people have been energized into action, with individual islands declaring carbon neutral targets of their own; green investors and entrepreneurs are flocking to the Maldives; and it is now apparent that renewable power plants will provide cheaper electricity than existing diesel generators. Many of these developments were not envisaged when we made the carbon neutral pledge and have come as pleasant surprises.
The lesson emerging from the Maldives is that when leaders set out a clear vision, individuals, investors and entrepreneurs follow, creating a virtual circle of positive change. We need to create this momentum on a global scale.
If leaders fail to act now, the climate crisis will become a catastrophe, threatening the very existence of human civilization. But if we show historic leadership, we can avert the crisis and create a greener world, richer and more exuberant than the one we inherited.
Kennedy chose to go to the moon. Our generation must choose to remain on planet Earth.

The nice thing is that it's only January 2, and I feel like that gives me some leeway on my year mistakes. Two weeks from now I'll have no excuse other than I AM A VERY CONFUSED HUMAN so that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Anyway, wanted to pop in here and see what I can do to spruce up the old blog. I've been getting a lot of stuff under my belt, and let me tell you - having a calendar hasn't helped my sense of schedule at all. Husband messaged me wanting to know the convention schedule in case he needed to mark time off and so I started compiling an actual list of shows I'm either vending, guesting, or just visiting.
I had 12 up through November, and that's not including the extra 4-5 I'm waiting to hear back on.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy doing the convention thing, I am just trying to figure out how, even with a calendar of months I manage to overbook myself and now I'm already getting anxiety thinking about how little time I'll have to do things.
I have a host of neat ideas I want to work on - as I want to focus more on my artwork and have my cosplay still continue to be the fun hobby that it is! And with that, I also prefer doing educational panels over ANYTHING else, so hey, if you need somebody to come in and teach about cosplay *wink wink* lemme know.
Do more drawings for me!
Welp, that's one thing off the list!
Let's make 2018 a better one than last year (it was really rough for a lot of us).

Turkish military filmed shooting down Greek border fence: video
in Turkey, World News
BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:45 P.M.) – The Greek government released a video documenting a Turkish military vehicle's attempt to shoot down part of the border fence between the two countries amid escalating tensions between them over the refugee issue.
At the start of the month, the Turkish authorities began allowing people to freely access the Greek border, prompting the government in Athens to condemn Ankara for pushing migrants towards their territory.
Turkey opened the border with Greece in response to the Syrian Arab Army's (SAA) offensive in the Idlib Governorate,
This operation has been strongly opposed by the Ankara regime and has resulted in a direct confrontation between the Syrian and Turkish armed forces.

Q: Text truncated in Bootstrap dl-horizontal element I have a website that uses Bootstrap v3.0. In one of the views I need to show 6 pair of key-value items and I was using dl-horizontal element. My problem with this list is that my keys have different lenghts so when I have a long key, the text is truncated. It would be nice to have the text divided in two or more lines. Is this possible? Is there a better element to do this?
I also have a problem when the text is too short. In this cases I have a lot of space to the left. Here is an example:

To ask the Scottish Government, further to its ministerial roundtable event on 27 June 2018, what steps it will take to tackle the impact of parcel delivery surcharges.
The Scottish Government recognises the longstanding concerns about parcel deliveries to rural and remote areas of Scotland. These concerns include surcharges for delivery to the Highlands and Islands and north-east postcodes along with refusal to deliver to certain locations. That is why we held the ministerial parcel delivery roundtable on 27 June 2018. The meeting was constructive and there was a willingness from those attending to work with the Scottish Government. An action plan is being developed to take forward suggestions from the meeting. The immediate focus is on delivering a Fair Delivery Day on Cyber Monday, 26 November 2018. On that day I will meet with consumers to hear of their experience of parcel deliveries. We will also commission and publish a full independent economic analysis of what constitutes "fair" delivery prices. This analysis will provide transparency to the public, retailers and delivery companies.
The Scottish Government will continue to work with partners to discuss and agree a range of sustainable solutions. I believe a constructive approach with all will achieve the best results.
As regulation of parcel deliveries is still reserved to Westminster and many retailers are based outside Scotland, it is vitally important that UK Ministers continue to work to improve the situation. I welcome the promise made on 28 November 2017 by the UK Digital Economy Minister Matt Hancock to look into the matter and hope that this leads to action. We will continue to engage the UK Government on this matter as necessary.

Nostalgia as therapy? 1950s-themed Brick senior center aims to stir memories
Amanda Oglesby
BRICK - A vintage car, portraits of silver screen movie stars and imagery from a past time will decorate the walls of a new senior center in the Laurel Square shopping plaza off Route 88.
Called "Town Square," the center is designed as an adult day enrichment program that triggers youthful memories. Its "storefronts," movie theater, diner, bocce court and garden center aim to entertain seniors in a nostalgic environment and help those with Alzheimer's disease and dementia recall the past.
"The focus is on immersive reminiscence therapy," said Kevin Herman, owner of Senior Helpers Ocean County, which will operate Town Square. The company provides in-home care for older adults and those facing memory loss. "For people that do have Alzheimer's and dementia, when they walk with in the (Town Square) center, they feel like they're in the 1950s, because everything is set up to look like it."
The concept is based on the work of Dr. George G. Glenner and Joy Glenner, who set up a daycare center for adults with Alzheimer's disease in California using immersive reminiscence therapy.
"It brings them back to that time period where they think they are," said Herman. "It brings out any of the positives and strengths that are left and memories and it can actually help them progress rather than go backwards."
Seniors in limbo: Voices from COVID vaccine wilderness at the Shore
Reminiscence therapy is the use of pictures, objects and songs to help adults with dementia and Alzheimer's disease recall the past, improve their mood, and help caretakers connect with them, according to the Alzheimer's Disease Association.
The Brick center will include a music therapy room and movie theater, even a 1950s car, and other spaces in the 12,000-square-foot facility for Senior Helpers recreation and therapeutic programming.
Health:Mental health hotline helps New Jersey musicians, others facing COVID challenges
"This will really help family members learn how to engage with their loved ones in a different way, especially if there's Alzheimer's and dementia involved," said Herman. "That (memory loss) puts up a barrier for the interaction. Most often people don't know how to interact with someone who is going through the disease process."
'I'm happy. I'm moving. I'm dancing': Seniors get fit at Red Bank YMCA
Across the United States, roughly 6.2 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, according to the Alzheimer's Association. By 2050, the association estimates that figure will more than double.
And because 83% of the caregivers for these adults are family, friends or unpaid caregivers, demand for day programs like Town Square is expected to rise.
Herman said there was a need for adult day care facilities like this in Brick, where one in five residents is 65 or older, according to U.S. Census data.
"I think that especially in Brick now — hopefully coming out of the pandemic — people need socialization," he said. "They need to get out."
Town Square will open in Laurel Square in the space once held by the Rainbow Shops clothing store. It is scheduled to open in mid-June.

they don't miss it
Malcolm and I finished Lord of the Flies last month, after Animal Farm (brilliant, as though written yesterday) and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (what's all the fuss about??). Lord of the Flies was harrowing, of course, and unlike Orwell, William Golding has a pretty baroque style that meant that Malcolm followed along fine, but missed plenty of expressive passages laden with early 20th century words. Still, though—he was absolutely stricken by the violence late in the book, and we took a couple of breaks before returning to it for the end. On one of these nights, Brian witnessed our despair and, without knowing anything else, said: "Piggy?" Confirmed. The best part of raising children is seeing anew how books speak across language and generation. It's good to be breaking bread with the dead, as my friend Alan Jacobs says.
Another friend gifted us some lighter fare to follow, yet another classic that I've never read: The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster. Juster was an architect as well as writer, and it shows:
Then where is Reality?" barked Tock.
"Right here," cried Alec, waving his arms. "You're standing in the middle of Main Street."
They looked around very carefully. Tock sniffed suspiciously at the wind and the Humbug gingerly stabbed his cane in the air, but there was nothing at all to see.
"It's really a very pleasant city," said Alec as he strolled down the street, pointing out several of the sights, which didn't seem to be there, and tipping his cap to the passers-by. There were great crowds of people rushing along with their heads down, and they all appeared to know exactly where they were going as they darted around and down the nonexistent streets and in and out of the missing buildings.
"I don't see any city," said Milo very softly.
"Neither do they," Alec remarked sadly, "but it hardly matters, for they don't miss it at all."

H&M fined 35 million euros for collecting data from employees
Clothing chain H&M has to pay a fine of 35 million euros in Germany for violating the privacy of its staff. The violations took place since 2014, but continued until after the GDPR came into effect. The retailer kept detailed information about employees, and the originally Swedish retailer was fined by the local data protection authority in Hamburg, Germany. Hennis & Mauritz has to pay 35,258,707.95 euros for violations in its service center in Nuremberg. They took place since 2014. In the center, "extensive information about employees' private lives was centrally collected," says the Hamburg regulator. Employees who took a holiday or became ill or even had short periods off were given a 'welcome back conversation' with their supervisor after their return. Those conversations recorded what the employees had done during their vacations, the symptoms of illness and diagnoses they received, and other conversations also recorded many details about the employees' private lives, such as family matters and religious beliefs, according to the regulator. That information was stored on a network drive that at least fifty managers had access to. The information was used, among other things, to carry out work evaluations. The data collection came to light in October last year. Due to a configuration error, the data was then available to everyone within the group for a short time. The regulator then started an investigation. H&M transferred a total of more than 60 gigabytes of information for the investigation, and H&M apologized to employees following the investigation. The company has also drawn up a new plan to better organize data protection. It states, among other things, that a new data protection coordinator will be hired, that there will be monthly status updates, that there will be better protection for whistleblowers, and that employees will also be entitled to compensation. This is paid outside of the fine. For this, employees must have been employed for at least one month since May 2018, when the European privacy law came into effect. The amount of the compensation is not yet known, the amount is the highest amount of the fine that has been awarded under the GDPR in Germany. In all of Europe, it is the second highest fine, next to Google's of 50 million.

Whether it's in the office or a club outside work, everyone is involved in some sort of group. At some point in time, everybody will be called upon to be a leader in some capacity, and many people feel like they don't know what to do when put in control of others. This may be a natural reaction, but it's one people must overcome if they are going to be successful. The majority of human communication is done non-verbally, so why not look to creatures that lead without ever having to speak for inspiration? For those unsure how to convey leadership, take a lesson from horses and understand what it means to lead.
For every herd, there is a well established leader and a clearly identified pecking order. The Alpha horse makes sure to assert its authority while watching the rest of the herd to make sure they understand who is in charge. But at the same time, the lead horse is responsible for guiding the herd and keep them out of harm's way. This system can be seen in many animal groups, and it is common in nature because it is successful. When working with a group of people, a leader is needed to take charge and guide the others to be as successful as possible.
Within a group of horses, the dominant horse often endures pain and trauma without complaint in order to keep the herd together. The same is necessary for human leaders. Effective leaders need to be able to make hard decisions and endure the consequences because it is the best thing for the group.
Herds of wild horses are often led by older mares because they have earned the position at the front of the pack. Older members of a group often carry the experience, resiliency and resourcefulness necessary to navigate through hard times and make it through to the other side, no worse for wear.
When new horses first meet, they tend to jostle one another and run around to prove they are strong and fit. But when all is said and done, it is the horse that has conserved its energy and acted with integrity that has proven itself to be the leader of the pack. When new members are added to a group, true leaders aren't concerned about their position and don't make a lot of commotion when the hierarchy undergoes change.
A horse is constantly aware of its surroundings and knows what is going on at any given time. This attention to detail allows the herd to know when it's time to move on and when something dangerous is taking place. Understanding the atmosphere within a group as well as outside enables a leader to make the best decision for the people he or she is leading and results in the best outcomes.
Finish Line is honored to have a great team to keep everything moving forward. Each member provides insight into leadership to ensure your horse is getting the best in quality horse healthcare products….we guarantee it!

Giambattista Valli skips the runway for floral fashion foray
Rachel Joyner
PARIS (Reuters) - Known for his ultra-feminine, silhouette-driven gowns, couturier Giambattista Valli shook up Haute Couture fashion week in Paris on Monday with a botanic-inspired collection displayed not on models, but on mannequins.

In the place of a traditional runway show, his Maison Valli brand showcased the designer's romantic, breezy looks in a multi-room exhibit attended by guests including Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
A handful of floral prints added to Valli's usual monochromatic gowns of tulle, chiffon and taffeta.
"I wanted the people finally to look at... the artwork of making Haute Couture — and not from far and not in movement," Valli said, emphasizing the private moment afforded by personal inspection of each piece.
"I think privacy is the ultimate luxury."
One bright fuchsia ballgown, with voluminous ruffles on the shoulders, around the hips, and on the hem represented a lotus. Another gown was a forget-me-not, one a wild pansy, others peonies.
The exhibition follows the Italian-born designer's collaboration last month with Stockholm-based clothing label H&M Hennes, in a mash-up of high-end fashion and affordable retail publicized by model Kendall Jenner.
In its initial run, the collection featured less expensive takes on Valli's signature tulle ensembles as well as gemstone-encrusted accessories, with prices for a dress ranging between $299 and $649.
"People really get inspired but sometimes frustrated because... there is no access to the house," Valli said. "I wanted to give them...the possibility to have their own Giambattista Valli moment."
Valli also has a pret-a-porter line oriented to a younger, more street-savvy clientele, and has made forays into runway athleisure.
Groupe Artemis — the shareholder behind luxury group and Gucci owner Kering, run by the Pinault family — bought a minority stake in the fashion house in 2017 for an undisclosed amount. Artemis had said at the time that it could buy a majority stake at a later stage.
Haute Couture week runs until July 4.

Directors Haunted by 'McQueen' Documentary: 'He Gets Under Your Skin'
By Daniel Barna • 07/17/18 2:30pm

Nearly a decade since his tragic death at age 40, the spectre of Alexander McQueen—one of fashion's most indomitable and original figures—still looms large. That's especially true in his native England, where directors Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui first began piecing together the intricate puzzle that became their elegant, poignant new documentary, McQueen. "Just being there, we realized how present he was and how much he touched people, and because his passing is still so close, there's still such raw emotions over there," said Ettedgui.
Emotions are so raw in fact, that they struggled to get McQueen's family and those in his inner circle to talk to them. So, like any good detectives, Bonhôte and Ettedgui cast a wider net. They tracked down former classmates from his days at the renowned Central St. Martin's art college and spoke to colleagues from his brief but influential reign as Givenchy's renegade creative director. They poured over hundreds of hours of extensive archival footage, both from McQueen's early shows and from rare interviews with the man himself. What emerges is an intimate and sprawling portrait of a tortured artist, whose breakneck ascent a top the pop culture landscape was matched only by his sudden downfall. Here's Ettedgui and Bonhôte on their painstaking process, the emotional weight they carried, and McQueen's enduring legacy.
Did you encounter anyone who was simply unwilling to talk to you?
Peter Ettedgui: Everyone was unwilling to speak to us.
How did you overcome that?
PE: Lots of phone calls, emails—sometimes we'd get to the end of the line with them and say "We're really, really sorry, it isn't going to work out after all," and they'd say "No! No! No! We'll do it."
Ian Bonhôte: Some people we contacted at the beginning just said "no" right away. And then we interviewed one person, and that person would introduce us to someone else and so on. It seemed like once we started filming, people started to get the sense that "O.K., these two guys are alright. They've got good intentions." I think because of the nature of Lee's life, there's been quite a lot of material coming out that's a bit more tabloid-style, very sensationalistic and easy to do. People are worried, and they need to trust you to want to talk to you.

What was your primary objective in making this documentary?
PE: McQueen said, "If you want to know me, look at my work. My shows are autobiographical." So we said "Let's take him at his word. Let's try and tell his entire story by looking at his shows." So we found shows that may not be the most obvious McQueen iconic shows. We wanted to focus on his earlier shows because they were so fun and subversive, and we knew we needed to have that because later in the film it does get much darker, and we wanted to take the audience on a journey. So when we get to the darkness, we want it to be doubly effective or upsetting because by then, you've fallen in love with this guy.

IB: We are fully aware that some people will say "You should've done more about this show, or you should have included that moment," but we felt that this was the best way to just get people to travel with both us and Lee.
PB: Everyone expects us to answer the question "What happened? Why did this guy take his life at the peak of his powers?" But for us, the much more interesting question was, how did he get from being this East End kid working in the corner of someone's studio with a sewing machine listening to Sinead O'Connor—someone you would never expect to succeed in this world—and 10 years later he is the great star of this world? How did that happen?
While making the film, were you ever struck by the enormity of the loss, or by the idea of what could have been if he were still alive?
PB: There's a strange sort of phenomenon that when you're making the film, he's there. He's present. He's with you all the time. You're looking at his photographs and hearing his voice every single day. And then it's more towards the end, as you're closing the project, that you feel it. Ian said it when we were coming out of the premiere that he just misses him. Meanwhile, I was having dreams a few weeks back where I was with him and I was trying to stop him from doing what I knew he was going to do. He gets under your skin.

IB: I had never met him and I feel quite honored to have done the film because he's a genius. In fashion, you tend to just predict next season. But I think Lee shifted entire tastes. If you talk in terms of silhouettes, Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and a lot of the greats have invented one, two, three silhouettes. When you look at Lee, he's invented three, four, and even five silhouettes. All of pop culture and the way of dressing, he kept on hammering stuff that nobody understood, and suddenly the entire world was wearing low-rise jeans.
PE: I don't want to be opportunist, but even something like #TimesUp…fashion at the time that Lee came into it was all about making women look beautiful, seducible, and McQueen said I don't want to make clothes that the men buy for the women. I want the women to go out there and buy my clothes because that makes them feel empowered.
IB: I personally loved that he mixed in S&M with his clothing. Instead of keeping it in the bedroom, he brought it to the forefront and made you feel powerful. He also made clothes look like armor, which is the classic McQueen silhouette. Every time you put them on you couldn't feel another way. You felt powerful and strong, and that's a big, big thing. You change how you approach your own life.

PE: He hated people wearing only McQueen. He didn't have an obsession with branding and that's another lovely thing about him. In one of the audiotapes we uncovered, he asked the interviewer: "Oh, what do you call it when you have a sign, like the Nike Swoosh?" And the interviewer said "Oh, do you mean a logo?" and he said "Yes! A logo!' It just made you aware that this was a different guy. Nowadays it would be inconceivable that a fashion designer didn't know what a logo was.
IB: If he saw one of his shirts that had his name scrawled across the front, it would absolutely kill him. There's that famous anecdote of his skull scarf that became a bestseller. Every year he was pushed to do it again and he couldn't bear to do it because it became cheap enough for people to get McQueen.

What did you learn about him that you didn't know before?
PE: When he was doing his apprenticeship at 16 and 17, all those people that he was working for, their businesses collapsed. But he was observing what was going on. When he started, he didn't produce clothes, he did these shows to get attention, which is completely counterintuitive, until you realize that John Galliano is going bankrupt every five minutes. He [McQueen] was wearing cheap clothes and trackies and trainers. He didn't buy luxury, he put every penny back into that business.

IB: What I found so fascinating about him was that he was not only a creative genius, but if you really look at his life, he was a kick ass business man and he always pretended not to be. At 27 he got paid huge amounts of money to take his house to Paris, but instead of using his money to enjoy himself, he used his money to carry on his label, and for four years he put a lot of his own money into his own business. That's sharp. At 30, he sold 50 percent of his company to Gucci for a lot of money. For someone who dropped out of school and is the son of a cabbie it's remarkable.
PE: For such a controversial divisive figure who had this very, very dark side, one of the things that struck me was the extent to which he was loved, and the extent to which he is missed. It sounds so corny but it's so true. The first interview we did was with an old friend of his who went to school Central St. Martins. She went and had a really conventional life and he went on to become Alexander McQueen. When we asked her how she heard the news that he died she just dissolved on set. The memories of him started flooding back and she was crying and we were crying and at that point we realized that was strength of emotion and love that he provoked in people.

"What universe are these people living in?" Anne Frank Center blasts Sean Spicer for complaints over anti-Semitism whitewash
After Sean Spicer says, "Nothing is good enough" for Anne Frank Center, its executive director responds fiercely
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2017/02/22/what-universe-are-these-people-living-in-anne-frank-center-blasts-sean-spicer-for-complaints-over-anti-semitism-whitewash/
February 22, 2017 8:23PM (UTC)
President Donald Trump's press secretary doesn't understand why the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, which is run by civil rights activist Steven Goldstein and based in New York, won't just accept his boss' belated denunciation of 2017's wave of anti-Semitic hate crimes.
It's "never good enough" for the Anne Frank Center, Spicer said during a White House press conference on Tuesday. The president "has been very forceful with his denunciation of people who seek to attack people because of their hate, because of their religion, because of their gender, because of the color of their skin. And it's something he's going to continue to fight and make very, very clear that [it] has no place in this administration. But it's ironic that no matter how many times he talks about this, it's never good enough."
Goldstein was appalled at Spicer's comments.
"The audacity of Sean Spicer to demand from the podium that the Anne Frank Center salute this president for his pathetic attempts to recognize anti-Semitism," Goldstein told Salon. "The imagery is callous at best and constitutes dark prejudice at worst. What has become of our democracy, that a press secretary for the president — let alone the president himself — expects applause simply for saying that anti-Semitism exists? Next President Trump will announce that the United States has achieved the first landing of a person on the moon and also expect us to applaud. What universe are these people living in?"
Goldstein added: "He also said the president has repeatedly called out anti-Semitism. When? When? This weekend passed, including this Sunday, during which over a hundred graves were desecrated, and on Monday bomb threats were made to eleven Jewish community centers, and he remained silent. Then he read a statement with all the passion of a B-grade actor auditioning for a high school play. You looked at him and it didn't look like he could even connect to the words — and this is a president who rarely reads anything prepared — and the one chance he gets to speak about anti-Semitism, he needs notes!
Goldstein continued, "When will our nation get fed up with this president trotting out the religion of his daughter and his son-in-law as a talking point shield against the anti-Semitic conduct of his administration? So what if his daughter is Jewish and his son-in-law is Jewish? That's like saying some of our best daughters are Jewish. By this logic, his daughter is also a woman, but that doesn't mean he isn't a misogynist."
On Tuesday the Anne Frank Center released a statement denouncing Trump's response to the anti-Semitic string of attacks as inadequate: "The President's sudden acknowledgment of Anti-Semitism is a Band-Aid on the cancer of Anti-Semitism that has infected his own administration," the center's release said. "His statement today is a pathetic asterisk of condescension after weeks in which he and his staff have committed grotesque acts and omissions reflecting Anti-Semitism, yet day after day have refused to apologize and correct the record. Make no mistake: The Anti-Semitism coming out of this Administration is the worst we have seen from any Administration."
The Frank center statement continued, "The White House repeatedly refused to mention Jews in its Holocaust remembrance, and had the audacity to take offense when the world pointed out the ramifications of Holocaust denial. And it was only yesterday, President's Day, that Jewish Community Centers across the nation received bomb threats, and the President said absolutely nothing. When President Trump responds to Anti-Semitism proactively and in real time, and without pleas and pressure, that's when we'll be able to say this president has turned a corner. This is not that moment."
This isn't the first time that Goldstein has let Trump have it with both barrels. Earlier this month he told Salon, "I've had it with the mealy mouthed establishment criticisms of Donald Trump. Instead of organizations saying, 'We take issue with statements coming out of the White House insensitive to the Jewish community' — really, now, who the hell speaks like that in real life— why not just tell it like it is? There's anti-Semitism in the White House."

The 2007 Wharton Lauder Institute MBA All-Star Team
Keith Hahn
The Wharton Lauder Institute Class of 2007 facebook is out, so we've assembled our very own Lauder MBA All-Star Team. (The Lauder program is a 2-year joint MBA/MA that emphasizes linguistic and foreign studies) All the quotes are from student biographies.
Here are the starting 5, with reserves:
Himanshu Bahguna – Center – The "Biceps of Bhopal," Himanshu "invented a Wall Climbing Robot" for use at sororities and on-site maintenance of chemical and nuclear plants. Now these robots will be put to use on Ben Wallace and Shaq, freeing up the Bahg-man for his patented 60° slam after taking off from 10-feet in front of the foul line. Also chants of 'Gu-na will be done in perfect synchronization with the "Air-ball" chant.
Jed Brawley – Power Forward – Jed has "visited almost every state and national park" through the travels of his transient circus family. Jed "learned Spanish from his neighbors," French from a small juniper titmouse, Tuvan throat singing from his colon, and !Kung from a metronome. Jed also rocked out IM sports and various duties at his frat house at UVA, making him the ideal candidate for pushing around dumb jocks in the paint.
Joe El Rady – Point Guard – If Joe can escape the Lebanese Civil War (which he did as a child), certainly he can escape the suffocating defense of Bruce Bowen, which has been likened only to minor secretarian violence amongst warring tribes.
Ernest Hartner – Guard – Ernest is proud of the fact that he's from "Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the city of three rivers and home to more bridges than any other city in the Americas." I have no idea why that is relevant information in a personal biography, but Ernie will need to forge these connective inroads to his teammates, distributing the rock.
Stephen Tapley – Guard – On Tapley's Mormon "Go Out and Find Your First Wife Mission," he found a *Brazilian* wife, which he gratuitously emphasizes in his biography. With this *Brazilian* wife, "Stephen's attitudes and perceptions of international issues were challenged and enhanced," primarily through advanced hair-removal techniques and outfits consisting of nothing but dental floss and coconut shells. Stephen also takes time to "mentor young men as a leader in the Boy Scouts of America." We need more US players who can "handle" South Americans like Manu Ginobli and Francisco Oberto, and "young men" like Lebron, so Tapley gets the starting nod.
Katerina Cai – Secret Weapon – having spent over 6 years at Hewlett Packard, Katerina is fully equipped to "discover" the schemes of opposing teams. Kat is currently working on the rhomboidal offense, which she thinks is at least 180° better than Phil Jackson's triangle offense.
Wilson S. Li Youn Hing – 6th Man – Although he ranked "first in the national exam of his country," which is perhaps the most ambiguously awesome (salightly Vayner-esque) thing you can say about yourself, Wilson will have to settle for playing time as the 6th man.
Felix Okobi – Thug – Okobi, who "still found the time to captain his hostel's table tennis team" while…apparently staying in some hostel, probably won't dress much. Okobi will be come off the bench solely for intimidation purposes, because that's what it takes to be dominant in the fierce world of youth hostel table tennis.
U-Tee Cheah – Towel Boy – Cheah worked for Aristos Logic, spun off from Western Digital, where he "recognized the inherent inefficiencies of the then-current methodology and created an entirely new debugging paradigm for the company, allowing bugs to be identified, and fixed orders of magnitude faster than before." Right. Ok, so Cheah's basically getting the nod as Towel Boy because of his cool name, and so he can find moisture absorption solutions and floor-to-towel placement strategies that can create a whole new drying paradigm for the MBA, allowing Dihydrogen Monoxide to be removed from surfaces orders of magnitude faster than before.
