Is Film is a 19th Century Invention, will it be lost?
Close up of an IMAX film negative.
Side by Side: The Science, Art and Impact of Digital Cinema is an in-depth examination of how digital filmmaking is challenging traditional celluloid film as the gold standard in moviemaking. Side by Side captures the essence of the film versus digital debate through unprecedented access to influential filmmakers such as James Cameron, David Fincher, George Lucas, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, Robert Rodriguez, Lana and Andy Wachowski, Steven Soderbergh and many more.
For almost one hundred years there was only one way to make a movie — on film. But over the last two decades a digital process has emerged to challenge photochemical filmmaking. In 2009 Slumdog Millionaire won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography, the first time the award was given to a film shot almost entirely digitally and not on film.
Side by Side investigates the history, process and workflow of both digital and photochemical film creation, and how — at least for now — the two forms coexist side by side. The evolving relationship between art and technology is revealed through clips of groundbreaking films, as well as visits to movie sets. Directors, producers, cinematographers, colorists, editors and actors offer anecdotes and candid opinions about how the digital revolution is transforming their storytelling tools and techniques.
Side by Side examines what is gained and what is lost both practically and philosophically in the changeover from film to digital. Those who embrace digital cite how it democratizes the filmmaking process and allows for infinite creativity.

NEWS – HOLLYWOOD, CA., USA
April 2012 – Press Release:
"George Westmore Research Library & Museum"
The GWRL & Museum has moved because in 2010 the "Westmore Academy of Cosmetic Arts" was purchased by Empire Beauty Schools @ www.Empire.edu.
Sadly after two years, (March of 2012) Empire decided, because of the nation's continued economic problem as well as the US Bank's reluctance to issue educational loans Empire announced it would not maintain the Hollywood/ Burbank Makeup School. Empire has over 107 location across the United States. The GWRL&M was not part of the Makeup Academy acquisition and thus continues to operate as a separate entity.
Currently, The George Westmore Research Library & Museum is reviewing new educational opportunities, looking at new locations, and developing exhibits with local museums and educational institutions for special traveling exhibits.
Marvin G. Westmore, Founder & CEO of the GWR Library & Museum commented:
"We hope to find a new location that will provide us with an opportunity to serve the needs of the community, along with the film industry, giving everyone a strong foundation for our history as well as creating a new appreciation for makeup and hair design as a lasting cultural art form. Currently we are developing exhibits with local museums and educational institutions for special traveling exhibits. If you are interested we would like to hear from your professional curator.
Marvin's Grandfather, George H. Westmore was responsible for founding the very first makeup department at a motion picture studio in 1917. Prior to that time, actors in film production came from stage performance work, and in most cases applied their own or assisted their fellow actors with makeup application.
In the history of the modern American movies, there are but few legacies of makeup artists. Only one family features four working generations: The Westmore's of Hollywood. With ties to virtually every studio in the annals of cinema, The Westmore's created classic beauty makeups that have stood the test of time since the earliest years of silent film and emulated around the world.

Welcome to the Westmore Museum Blog, as President of the George Westmore Research Library & Museum, I am excited to express my enthusiasm for this technological advancement which the Internet offers the world. "To teach is to touch the Future," we also aim to touch the world via the Internet.
A museum can be a dark, cold, quiet environment for the objects that are preserved and for the people who work in this profession – but a Blog offers a bright, noisy, warm environment for ideas a constant stream of information. I look forward to the new challenges and opportunities which this Blog will create for the research library and museum.
At an early age I had the fortunate opportunity, (thanks to my parents) to travel the United States visiting cities and towns, learning about our history, people along with the rich culture which this country has to offer. I find it even more fortunate to be working in an industry which my family has been involved in since the era of silent movies. This enjoyable effort is truly close to my heart.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention that you can learn more about Hollywood's First Family of Makeup – The Westmore family and their contributions to Hollywood's Motion Picture History by visiting

President of The Westmore Museum
Let's start with a little information about who this institution is named after: George H. Westmore
George Henry Westmore born in Newport, Isle of Wight, England was a wigmaker, saloon manager, makeup artist of Cockney Brit(ish); served in the British Army during Boer War, (Two wars fought during 1880–1881 and 1899–1902 by the British Empire against the settlers of two independent Boer republics, the Orange Free State and the Transvaal Republic) worked as a wigmaker and saloon manager in England; (Winston Churchill was said to have thought of him highly as a barber).
George Westmore
George Westmore career began in 1901 he opened a hair dressing salon, Newport, then worked in Canterbury, Kent, until after 1906, in Montreal, Toronto, and Quebec, Canada, and Pittsburgh, San Antonio, New Orleans, Buffalo, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C. In 1913 he added makeup to his repertory, Cleveland; began teaching Perc and Ern the art of wigmaking when they were nine; 1917 he was working at Maison Cesare, Los Angeles, first began at Selig Polyscope Studio moving on to Triangle Film Corporation (a.k.a. Triangle Motion Picture Company), and other studios: responsible for Mary Pickford's curls in the late 1910s. George's greater contribution, though, may have been in fathering six sons, all of whom went into makeup design.
George Westmore founded the first (tiny) makeup department at a motion picture studio at Selig Polyscope Studios, (1917) in Edendale, a suburb of Los Angeles next to Hollywood, developing techniques still in use today.
William Selig
Selig, William (1864-1948), U.S. motion picture pioneer, born in Chicago, Ill.; actor, theatrical manager 1888-99; improved early motion picture camera; produced first long historical motion picture Coming of Columbus'. Selig Polyscope Co. Selig set up his studio (1909), with director Francis Boggs, who began the facility in a rented bungalow and quickly expanded, designing the studio's front entrance after Mission San Gabriel. An early production there was The Count of Monte Cristo. Edendale soon became Selig Polyscope's headquarters. Selig produced almost a thousand movies and was responsible for developing new film talent such as Roscoe Arbuckle along with early cowboy western stars Gilbert M. "Bronco Billy" Anderson and Tom Mix.
George Westmore like Max Factor, Sr., understood that cosmetic and hair needs were personal and would do makeup on stars such as Mary Pickford (whom he relieved of having to curl her famous hair daily by making false ringlets) or the Talmadge sisters in their homes before they left for work in the morning.
George H. Westmore
George and his sons built their own shops; they were all very handy with carpentry and plumbing. Usually back when films began, in the entertainment industry, Actors and Actresses did their own makeup. No single person was responsible for the hairstyling or makeup many times actors would help one another. George: married 1) Ada Savage, 1901; 19 children, including the six sons, a daughter Dorothy, and others who died young; 2) Anita Salazar, 1925; daughter: Patricia.

Westmore Museum – Movie Poster Join Collection
July 1, 2009 – Press Release:
George Westmore Research Library & Museum – "Movie Posters Join Collection"
The George Westmore Research Library & Museum is proud to announce the addition of approximately 2,500+ motion picture movie posters to its collection. An anonymous donor contributed them to the 501(c)3 non-profit Library & Museum for historical preservation. The collection of posters was amassed over a 45-year period, from a working member of the Hollywood community, who had a deep appreciation for Hollywood film history.
President of the Museum commented about the donation: "The idea that these iconic images will be on display for students, researchers and the public for years to come was the major reason for this donation. Many of the posters will require special handling because of their delicate condition. We hope to add several new posters to our display each year as we organize and rotate our exhibits. We also continue to receive requests for satellite exhibits from educational institutions, libraries and other museums, thus we hope to also display some of these many posters along with the historical items in other venue's."
Movie posters have become important pieces of art as well as iconic symbols of our culture. They not only create lasting images that demonstrate the manner in which the movies were marketed but also create an emotionally connection with each of us to a special time and period in motion picture history.

Paul Leonard Newman
Paul Leonard Newman – (1925-2008)
Actor-Director-Producer-Writer-American-Humanitarian-Philanthropist
"The George Westmore Research Library & Museum mourns the passing of our friend and donor. Our deepest condolences to Joanne Gignilliat Trimmier Woodward, Arthur Newman Jr. and the Newman Family. Paul was a man of our times, he touched the world with his kindness, generosity and love. We are all better because of his inspiration and leadership." (quote – D.D.W., GWRL&M)
With writer A.E. Hotchner, Newman founded Newman's Own, a line of food products, in 1982. The brand started with salad dressing, and has expanded to include pasta sauce, lemonade, popcorn, salsa, and wine, among other things. Newman established a policy that all proceeds from the sale of Newman's Own products, after taxes, would be donated to charity. As of early 2006, the franchise has resulted in excess of $200 million in donations. He co-wrote a memoir about the subject with Hotchner, Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good. Among other awards, Newman's Own co-sponsors the PEN/Newman's Own First Amendment Award, a $25,000 reward designed to recognize those who protect the First Amendment as it applies to the written word.
One beneficiary of his philanthropy is the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a residential summer camp for seriously ill children, which is located in Ashford, Connecticut. Newman co-founded the camp in 1988; it was named after the gang in his film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). Newman's college fraternity, Phi Kappa Tau, adopted "Hole in the Wall" as their "national philanthropy" in 1995. One camp has expanded to become several Hole in the Wall Camps in the U.S., Ireland, France and Israel. The camp serves 13,000 children every year, free of charge.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
An actor, film director, entrepreneur, race car driver, racing team owner and humanitarian, Newman won numerous awards, including three Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Cannes Film Festival Award, and an Emmy Award. He was also the founder of Newman's Own, a Westport-based food company which has donated more than $250 million in profits and royalties to charity.
Paul Leonard Newman was born Jan. 26, 1925, in Shaker Heights, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb, son of Arthur S. (a sporting goods store owner) and Theresa (maiden name, Fetzer) Newman.
He married actress Jacqueline Witte in December 1949, and they were divorced in 1957. He married Joanne Woodward, also an actress, on Jan. 29, 1958.
His children by his first marriage were Scott (deceased), Susan, and Stephanie. His children from his second marriage were Elinor "Nell" Theresa, Melissa "Lissy" Steward, and Claire "Clea" Olivia.
In a statement, the Newman daughters said:
"Paul Newman played many unforgettable roles. But the ones for which he was proudest never had top billing on the marquee.
"Devoted husband. Loving father. Adoring grandfather. Dedicated philanthropist.
"Our father was a rare symbol of selfless humility, the last to acknowledge what he was doing was special. Intensely private, he quietly succeeded beyond measure in impacting the lives of so many with his generosity.
"Always and to the end, Dad was incredibly grateful for his good fortune. In his own words: 'It's been a privilege to be here.'
"He will be profoundly missed by those whose lives he touched, but he leaves us with extraordinary inspiration to draw upon.
"During this difficult time, we ask for privacy for our family."
In a 1997 book about Newman, biographer Lawrence J. Quirk quoted the actor as saying:
"I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried – tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. Someone who isn't complacent, who doesn't cop out."
When Barbara Walters once asked him what he wanted his epitaph to be, he replied, "That I was part of our times."

Jacques' passion for nutrition in early life finds clear direction in his role at the Danone-Nutricia R&D hub in Singapore, where he is responsible for nutritional research collaborations region-wide, with notable projects in countries including China, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. He has worked with Nutricia in Europe and Asia since 1988 and, from 2000 to 2005, held a professorship at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, examining nutrition in growth and development. He has been involved in several significant industry innovations, including HA and pre-term formulas and solutions for babies with digestive problems, and has extensive experience with new ingredients, including DHA, ARA, structured lipids and both pre and probiotics.
The double burden of under and over nutrition puts up to 50% of children in several Asian countries at risk of developing serious non-communicable diseases in later life, setting up a future of ill-health and profound economic burden for societies and governments to bear. Added to that, aspirational parents who want the best for their children are putting the Asian food industry under a unique pressure to perform; to deliver products able to elevate everything from their child's health to its cognitive performance. Jacques Bindels, an expert in child nutrition of over thirty years standing, examine these pressures and asks how a responsible industry should address them.

Anders als andere Bands, die einem stumpfen Rhythmus (Platte – Tour – Platte…) folgen, haben KILL II THIS ein eigenes Konzept. Das letzte umfassende Studiorelease liegt – sehr zum Bedauern der Fans – schon eine ganze Weile zurück. Dann hat man den Fans mit einem Festivalauftritt Hoffnung auf mehr gemacht (wir berichteten hier) und zuletzt ging es für den sympathischen Vierer aus der Region Manchester auf eine Tour durch die britische Heimat.
Leider warten die Fans auf dem europäischen Festland auf solche Live-Auftritte und auch neues Material war bisher nicht in Sicht…bis jetzt! Aus dem engsten Bandumfeld bekamen wir die Möglichkeit den brandneuen Track "Sleeper cell" zu hören bzw. das dazugehörige Video zu sehen. Und was sollen wir euch sagen? DER H A M M E R ! ! !
Unser Interesse war also entfacht und wir wollten mehr wissen!
So haben wir unsere Kontakte genutzt und die Chance genutzt, Drummer Jeff Singer (Ex-PARADISE LOST) einige Fragen zum neuen Song und den weiteren Plänen der Band zu stellen. Und wenn ihr gelesen habt, was er zu sagen hatte, könnt ihr unten noch das Video anschauen. Das geht direkt musikalisch und auch inhaltlich von Null auf 100! Beeindruckend. Straight auf den Punkt. Wenn auch das weitere – hoffentlich bald anstehende – Material in eine ähnliche Richtung geht, dann dürfen wir uns auf die nächste Scheibe der Briten freuen.
MH.de: Today I had the first chance to hear the brand new KILL II THIS-track "Sleeper cell". How did the band come up with this new song and how do you feel with the result?
JS: Mark and I have been working on these songs for a few years now. There have been factors getting in the way of us completing the finished article. We looked for a new singer then Simon joined the band. Then I got quite seriously injured which put me out for a year or so and then we just had to finally get together to compleye everything. The bones of the song have been around for a long time but the detail happened very quickly when we got down to it.
MH.de: Who had the idea to shoot that video like that and are you satisfied?
JS: We left this in the hands of the video company. We had an idea which they brought to life. They did a great job I think. They first approached me a year ago. Discussions started on March 31st and it was finished 6 weeks later over 3 shoots. The guys worked really hard.
MH.de: There is a fanbase seeking new material from KILL II THIS and they´ll soak it in. What message can you give us for the fans regarding the writing and recording of more material (is there maybe already something in the pipeline!?)?
JS: There are ideas. We wanted to release the new song and video to show we are still around and relevant with a great new singer and we are wanting to put ourselves back in the frame for some good shows.
MH.de: You have done quite a wide spread UK-tour recently. How was the reaction of the crowd and did the number of people attending the shows reach your expectations?
JS: Yes and no. Reaction at Bloodstock was really positive and for the tour we had some great reactions however one or two gigs just weren't promoted correctly so could have been better. Overall it was really good and good to be back out.
MH.de: Can you tell our readers something about further touring plans. The fans on mainland Europe (Germany, Netherlands, Belgium etc.) are desperately waiting to see you guys hit the stage again. Any chances for that?
JS: We want to play some major festivals next year so hopefully "Sleeper Cell" will get people talking about us again.
MH.de: Finally…what message do you want to send out to everybody following KILL II THIS for all those years and also to possibly new fans? Why should someone check your music out?
JS: To those who know us we are back and still trying to be at the cutting edge. To new fans…where have you been!
MH.de: Thanx Jeff for your time. And I know quite a bunch of people (including myself), that are interested in seeing you on stage and to inhale new stuff…see you around (hopefully soon!)!


Although be quiet's chassis debut with the Silent Base series was met with warm welcome, many critics cited its lack of liquid cooling support as a disadvantage.

Penguin Swims 5,000 Miles A Year To Be With Man Who Saved His Life
By Oliver Hamilton - September 24, 2018
Here's a story to warm the coldest of hearts as temperatures begin to drop, involving an elderly man, a penguin, and a 5,000-mile journey undertaken twice a year. Joao Pereira de Souza, a 72-year-old former bricklayer and part-time fisherman, lives on an island outside of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2011, Joao found a small penguin covered in oil on the rocks of a beach by his home.
He promptly took him in, cleaned the oil off the feathers, fed him fish, and befriended him. Joao named his new pal Dindim. After several days, Joao tried to return him to the water, but the bird refused to leave. Joao said, "He stayed with me for 11 months and then, just after he changed his coat with new feathers, he disappeared."
It only took several months before Dindim came back, following Joao home after seeing him at the beach. Every year since then, Dindim has spent eight consecutive months with his best friend before setting off. It is believed that he spends the rest of the year mating off the Chilean and Argentinian coasts. This means that every year, Dindim swims a whopping 5,000 miles, just to be with Joao!
"I love the penguin like it's my own child and I believe the penguin loves me," he told Brazilian TV a couple of years ago. "No one else is allowed to touch him. He pecks them if they do. He lays on my lap, lets me give him showers, allows me to feed him sardines and to pick him up." Even though "everyone said he wouldn't return," Joao said, "he has been coming back to visit me…"
Professor Joao Paulo Krajewski, a biologist, said, "I have never seen anything like this before. I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably a penguin as well. When he sees him he wags his tail like a dog and honks with delight."

Here is my new-old table lamp. In the spirit of make-do-&-mend I re-fashioned a solid, carved wood lamp base with ancient wiring I found in a verge clean-up into the perfect lightsource for my dining room. The limitations I gave myself: must have the items needed in my house at that moment and could only take about an hour of my time. It was Saturday night after all.
So… step one was to establish if the limp light fitting and electics actually work. Hmmmm new bulb, power, but no light. So I took the plug apart (not difficult given it was missing its two screws) and noticed there was only one copper wire making contact. Not to be defeated by an absolute lack of electrical knowledge I search the web for a diagram of an Australian plug and connected the loose wire to the 'A' for active socket. Tried again and "Eureka!" (forgive me).
Step 2. Attempt to make the limp bulb socket part sit upright again by taping it into place vertically with some black electrical tape. Yay.
Step 3. See if spare IKEA ALÄNG shade would fit. Damn. Spend most of the hour struggling in forcing the ring over the horizontal 'on/off' switch of the lamp, realising once I'd achieved this that it was utterly pointless and try to reverse my action. Eventually using my metal nail file to file away gently at the hard plastic switch on one end until I could get it off.
Step 6. Functional, yes. Good-looking, mmmmhhh better if you couldn't see the black tape and bottom of the light fitting. Think of fringing the bottom of shade. Try a few random things from my sewing box and voila! settle on some sheer chartreuse fabric tied around. A little like a scarf.
So there you have it. Not the most visually-to-scale lamp and base combination but given what I had, I am pretty pleased that I have something that lights the room perfectly and isn' t too awful to look at. Got quite a buzz out the whole exercise. Dad would be proud.
Cool! We'll make a greenie out of you yet, Laura !!!
Oh and don't worry, keep metal tools and fingers away once plugged in.
Beware the 'buzz' in these situations – they can be life threatening.


California Governor Jerry Brown, who signed the law in 2012.
CHICAGO — Truth Wins Out is pleased today that the Supreme Court denied cert to a challenge to California's ban on harmful, ineffective "ex-gay" therapy for minors. California's law, S.B. 1172, was signed in 2012 and has been challenged in higher courts, the law being upheld each time. The Supreme Court's decision to let the law stand protects California minors from quack doctors who value ideology over sound mental health care, and sets a strong precedent for challenges in other states. Truth Wins Out also extends thanks and praise to the National Center For Lesbian Rights, Equality California and the other organizations who worked to vigorously defend the law in court and in the public square.
"Ex-gay" therapy is roundly rejected by all major medical and mental health associations, which state that the practice, sometimes known as "conversion" or "reparative" therapy, is ineffective at best, and can cause great harm to patients.
Many who were among the most prominent spokespeople and apologists for the "ex-gay" movement have recanted their views and expressed deep sorrow for the pain their work caused over the years. Alan Chambers, who ran the now defunct Exodus International, admitted that 99.9% of those he encountered in the movement never changed their sexual orientation. John Paulk, who was once the poster boy for the movement, appearing on the cover of Newsweek in 1998 with his then wife, now is living as an openly gay man, and is doing the hard work of apologizing to those who were hurt by his work. Indeed, the only public "ex-gays" left seem to be those who are currently making money promulgating the "ex-gay" lifestyle.
In 2013, the Ninth Circuit upheld S.B. 1172, rejecting claims that the law somehow infringed upon the free speech rights of therapists who wish to indoctrinate vulnerable LGBT teens into their anti-gay religious ideology. With the Supreme Court's denial of cert, the law may now be enforced fully.

February development news round-up: Breweries, apartments, vacant lots, and more
A rendering of Detroit City FC's proposed renovations to Keyworth StadiumDetroit City FC
It's been another busy month for development news in the city. Let's catch up on some of the biggest stories from the past four weeks.
Granite City opened its latest restaurant and brewery location in the Renaissance Center earlier this month. It's the largest location for the chain eatery and on-site brewery, which first opened in St. Cloud, Minnesota in 1999.
Financing for the Scott, a 199-unit apartment building in the Brush Park neighborhood, was finalized earlier this month. Two weeks after, the Scott announced that pre-leasing had begun. The building is set to open in the beginning of 2017.
In October 2015, Detroit Future City released a guidebook to help residents steward vacant lots in their neighborhood. This month, the DFC Implementation Office announced that it is splitting $65,000 among 15 grassroots organizations and individuals to help facilitate lot transformations as outlined in their guidebook.
A devastating fire wiped out the home of Reclaim Detroit in Highland Park. The fire, which could be seen miles away, decimated the company's operations, destroying much of its irreplaceable stock. Reclaim Detroit, which recovers re-usable materials from vacant buildings in Detroit, is currently holding an online fundraiser to help cushion the blow.
Five hundred and twenty-seven people invested a total of $741,250 in the renovation of Keyworth Stadium in Hamtramck. The new home for the Detroit City Football Club, Keyworth Stadium is 80 years old and in need of many repairs if it's to host DCFC as their home stadium in the years ahead. DCFC officials hoped to raise between $400,000 and $750,000 in their crowdfunding campaign.
The city revealed its Detroit Home Mortgage program this month. The mortgage program is a partnership between the city, the Obama Administration's Detroit Federal Working Group, Clinton Global Initiative, local banks, foundations, and nonprofits. The program addresses the appraisal gap, a common hindrance to purchasing a home in the city. Now, banks will be able to make loans for the agreed upon selling price of a home and not just the appraisal number, which is often much lower than what a buyer agrees to pay.

ANTONIO CONTE will hold talks with Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo over the future of Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
The Guardian report the 20-year-old could be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge on a loan deal in the second half of this season.
Loftus-Cheek has featured just three times for the Blues this campaign.
Chelsea's lack of European football means Conte is unable to use the full depth of his squad as he would usually be able to.
DIEGO COSTA is banned for Chelsea's Boxing Day clash with Bournemouth - so who can replace him?
And that could mean Loftus-Cheek would be better served gaining first-team experience elsewhere for the remainder of the season.
Newcastle have been linked with a swoop for the Chelsea midfielder in recent days and West Ham are also said to be monitoring the situation.
"Ruben has great potential and it's important for him to show it," Blues boss Conte said.
"Now he is in our squad. This season he's had a few injuries but now he is free.
"I'll speak to the club and take the best decision for the player."
Chelsea are on a run of 11 straight victories and will look to make it 12 when they take on Bournemouth on Boxing Day.
The Blues are currently six points clear of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table.

I was wondering if it was the same arbok she had befor.
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?!?!?!?!?arbok doesn't evolve into seviper!
>Jessie caught Seviper in A Tail with a Twist after initially being impressed with its sneaky and aggressive demeanor. It had defeated Ash's Treecko earlier in the episode, which is why Jessie wanted it so much. Although Seviper was intelligent, and outsmarted Team Rocket's multiple attempts to ensure its capture, Jessie caught Seviper after it had bitten off a chunk of her hair, mangling poor Seviper with her "Fury Swipes" and "Mega Kick".
No Jessie catches Serviper close to when they arrived in Hoenn. Arbok doesnt evolve into Serviper so it cant be her Arbok.
um... i think you guys should check arboks pokedex...it says that arbok dosent evolve into seviper..
maybe feraligatr77 is totaly noob!
Your all wrong it says clearly in on other websites and the anime.
if you watched A Poached Ego! (the saddest Pokemon episode EVER), you would see that BOTH Jessie and James released their Arbok and Weezing, then stood up to a TYRANITAR, with no Pokemon other than Meowth. over and over, it used Hyper Beam at those three, but over and over, they came back. they did it JUST to give their Pokemon time to escape. that love, that courage, gave me a new-found respect for Team Rocket. i will forever remember that sacrifice.


This is a small and affordable radio made in the DDR, a typical late valve radio. It is mostly unremarkable, I just bought it out of nostalgic motives.
This radio has been built in the Stern factories of the DDR based RFT electronics corporation. The case is made from veneered plywood with a perforated plastic front. A simple, clean and modern design, after the scandinavian style that was in vogue at the time. Like other some Stern models, the model is named after a historically important place, Jalta for this one. My radio has the word "Serenade" on the front. This seems to be something for the export versions to Western Europe. Elsewhere on the Web you can find original DDR versions with the "Jalta" lettered on the front.
ECL82 as AF pre-amplifier and output amplifier.
The ratio detector for FM contains two semiconductor diodes that are hidden in the detector coil. The power supply rectifier is a metal rectifier or maybe a silicon rectifier, bolted to a cooling plate just behind the tuning dial.
A view of the chassis and tuning dial.
I bought this radio because when I was a child, we had exactly such a radio in our home. So though this is clearly a rather common radio, I wanted to have it.
When I tried it at home, it just worked, but there were some cosmetic points I didn't like. The pointer behind the tuning dial wasn't sitting straight, the dial illumination was irregular.
In 2009, I decided to touch up the radio. I took the chassis out of the case and took a look. Most of the electronics are on a single PCB. Interestingly, both for FM and AM, this radio uses variable inductors for tuning. The cores are attached to a kind of bascule that goes op and down when the tuning control is turned, moving the cores up and down in the inductors.
There were a number of clues to the production date of this radio. Several date codes on components pointed to January 1965. A label that seemed to identify the model, mentioned '64.
I replaced a defective dial lamp that explained the uneven lighting. I also fixed the pointer of the tuning dial. This is a T-shaped thing, where the vertical part of the T is the indicator and the horizontal part of the T has two clamps that hold on to the tuning cord. One half of the horizontal part was broken. I fixed this using some copper wire and glue. After this, the indicator was perfectly vertical again.
I couldn't find a circuit diagram for this radio. On the radiomuseum.org site, I found a schematic of the RFT 5060 model instead, which is an AC/DC version of the 5360. I checked the supply voltage and the voltage on the anode of the output stage. These were within a reasonable range, very close to the voltages indicated on the 5060 model.
After this, I cleaned the case a bit and put the chassis back in. The radio is working fine now.


Lobster Lady Melissa Mclure and her 20lb crustacean* are leading the pack of 40s and 50s glamour girls from the George Douglas Archive who are appearing at the 2016 Brighton Festival fringe in May.
From 30 April till 29 May, the Brighton Photography gallery in the new West Pier Arches is showcasing a glorious selection of these recent finds from the archive's lighter side. They will be on display alongside many of the classic pictures which made international headlines when George's collection was first discovered in 2014.
George loved to photograph feisty women looking that little bit different as you can see from the way he casually accessorizes actress Melissa, a stuntwoman for Hollywood Westerns, with a giant lobster.
His quirky fashion pictures appeared in a huge range of magazines including Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, Picture Post, Life, TV Mirror and Woman.
Come and check out the pick of the bunch if you're lucky enough to be able to get to Brighton any time in May.
• Finn Hopson, owner of the Brighton Photography gallery, produced the beautiful prints for our original exhibition in 2014 and a hugely successful 2015 exhibition at Les Rencontres d'Arles, France's biggest photo festival, in 2015. This year a selection of archive-stamped prints produced by Finn will be on sale for the first time in Brighton.
* We know it was a 20lb lobster. George recorded its weight on the photoshoot notes!


Are there any guidelines as to when I should use RMI and when I should prefer plain old socket connections? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each of these technologies ?
Prgramming sockets in Java is to apply a procedural networking idiom to an object-oriented computing environment. Sockets-based network programming can be a fairly laborious task. Here, all client/server communication must be mediated by a user-defined application protocol, which serves to define the precise byte-oriented sequence of the message. A client must not only be responsible for creating the message, but also must bear the logic to decipher the response from the server. And likewise for the server.
RMI elevates network programming to a much higher plane. With RMI, Java objects can easily invoke the methods of remote objects as if they were locally available. The amazing part is that the remote objects may be under the jurisdiction of an entirely different JVM, running on a different host halfway around the world! Also, since you interact with an RMI object much like a local object, remote methods can send and receive just about any valid Java object without having to worry about flattening it out to a serial data stream. RMI automatically provides you that feature by utilizing the underlying Object Serialization mechanism. The communication between the RMI client and server itself is facilitated by the Java Remote Method Protocol (JRMP) or Internet Inter-Orb Protocol (IIOP).
RMI is especially useful for deployment as a multi-tier bridging mechanism, and can serve as an effective "glue" for integrating other enterprise Java technologies like JDBC and JNI. RMI remote objects serving as wrappers to database and legacy system integration code are also highly scalable due to the inherently distributed nature of the technology itself.
There is no doubt that programming low-level sockets enables your client-server applications to be much more efficient in their conversation. They also do not suffer from the latency issues due to object serialization and are easily integrated through corporate firewalls. But this comes at a cost of your programs being much more difficult to develop and maintain, compared with RMI applications. Unlike RMI, you will also have to take care of multithreading issues within your server.

Established in 1757, the old Locke's Distillery has been restored and, after a 50 year closure, whiskey production recommenced in 2007.
Open 10am-4pm daily.
Established in 1757, the old Locke's Distillery has recently been restored and, after a 50 year closure, whiskey production began here once more in 2007.
The Kilbeggan Distillery Experience is open to the public and, although not the smoothly commercial operation that might be expected by visitors who have also been to some of the longer established distillery visitor centres, is well worth a visit. Both guided and self-guided tours are available, with tastings.
The first release of Kilbeggan Distillery Reserve Malt was in June 2010 and product is now available from retail outlets and can also be purchased from the distillery.
The Pantry restaurant offers refreshments on site and meals can be provided for groups by arrangement.

Q: jQuery conflicting? I am trying to load jQuery on a RightNow FAQ system and I'm not sure if it has any conflicts between the JS files that are loaded by default by RightNow.
I've added these lines to my file:

test

(MYKEY was replaced by the real key of course).
When visiting the page I get the "jquery is loaded", but I don't see the dialog box. Am I testing it correctly? does that mean there's a conflict?
Do you guys have any other way of testing/making this thing work?
Thanks,

A: This seems to work for me. The only thing you seem to have forgotten, is loading jquery-ui.css. Is that your problem?

A: Your code may be more stable if you call your dialog command from within "on document ready".

Since few of her personal papers remain in existence, relatively little is known about Elizabeth Kortright Monroe. Most of the information about her comes from other people's letters and writings. As First Lady, she is probably best remembered for reinstating a more formal style of entertaining in the White House and for adopting the etiquette of European courts. Elizabeth Kortright was born to a wealthy family in colonial New York. Her father, Lawrence Kortright, was a prominent merchant who lost much of his wealth during the Revolution. She met James Monroe when she was sixteen years old and married him a year later; their marriage, which lasted until her death, was by all accounts a strong partnership.
In 1786, the young couple moved to Fredericksburg, Virginia. The relocation demanded quite an adjustment for Elizabeth, who was raised in the big city of New York, but she adapted to her new life. In 1794, she accompanied her husband to France after President George Washington appointed him minister to that country. The Monroe family had a delicate task: helping the United States be taken seriously as a world power without offending the government in revolutionary France. As such, Elizabeth immersed herself in French culture and life; she learned to speak French, educated herself on the ins and outs of European etiquette, and enrolled her daughter in a French school. She thrilled the French people by adopting their customs, and they, in turn, affectionately referred to her as "la belle americaine." The Monroes returned to the United States in 1797, and for three years Elizabeth lived in Richmond while her husband served as governor of Virginia. By 1803, however, the couple was back in Europe with Monroe serving as minister to both France and Britain. Although they had friends in London, their time in England was difficult. The British viewed the United States as a political nonentity and thus did not treat Elizabeth and James with the respect usually accorded European diplomats. Both were relieved when the President recalled Monroe and hurried home, risking a winter crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in 1807 rather than waiting until the weather improved in the spring. From their time in Europe, the Monroes learned that Europeans placed more importance on formal etiquette than Americans. They wanted European diplomats to respect the United States and take it seriously as an international power. Therefore, when she became First Lady in 1817, Elizabeth instituted a more formal protocol in the White House than the Jefferson or Madison administrations had used, knowing that it would be more familiar to European diplomats. Although her changes offended some in Washington society, Elizabeth stood by them. Elizabeth Monroe often suffered from ill health and could not carry on all her duties as First Lady. As such, she reduced the number of social calls she made and limited the White House social calendar. On many occasions, her daughter Eliza served as White House hostess. It was hard for Elizabeth to follow Dolley Madison as First Lady. Whereas Dolley was very energetic and outgoing and enjoyed the social demands of the White House, Elizabeth was more introverted and preferred a quieter lifestyle. She was not always at her best in large groups and occasionally came across as being aloof. Still, those who knew her personally commented upon her warmth, beauty, and intelligence. Elizabeth Monroe was a constant partner to her husband. Despite his frequent travels, she was rarely separated from him for any extended period of time. However, her level of involvement in his career and in politics is far from clear. She did not insert herself into his presidency and seemed to concentrate her energies mostly on domestic matters. In the White House, she developed more formal social customs that future First Ladies followed for years to come.

The annual Clermont County American Legion Veterans Day Parade will be held Sunday, Nov. 11, in the village of Batavia.
CLERMONT COUNTY – The annual Clermont County American Legion Veterans Day Parade will be held Sunday, Nov. 11, in the Village of Batavia.
Retired Clermont County Commissioner Bob Proud is this year's grand marshal. Master of ceremonies is Ron Hartman, a 2018 inductee into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame. He is also commander of American Legion Post 72.
The day's celebrations begin at 1:30 p.m. in front of the Common Pleas Courthouse in downtown Batavia with a special ceremony. The parade steps off at 2 p.m. from Baxla Tractor Sales, 610 W Main St., and proceeds into downtown Batavia.
Also in observance of Veterans Day, the Clermont County Veteran Services Commission is hosting a blood drive 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9, in front of the county administration building, 101 E. Main St. To participate, register at: www.hoxworth.org/groups/clermontveterans.


The spouses do not have a choice of matrimonial property regimes. The governing statutory provisions effective upon separation and divorce cannot be avoided by private, inter-spousal arrangement. All marital agreements are made in light of the governing provisions, and cannot be regarded as absolutely binding upon the parties as they remain subject to the approval of/amendment by the Irish courts. Typically they will not be enforced if they do not secure proper provision for the parties and/or where it is in the interest of justice not to enforce the terms agreed.
Marital agreements must be formally executed in the form of a deed and signed by both parties. They can be approved by the courts as a consent order, giving the agreement the status and effect of a court order. Where a marital agreement is made an order of court, its enforcement is then subject to the normal rules and expectations of compliance with court orders. The enforcement of the terms of an agreement not made an order of court is subject to the rules and enforcement mechanisms of contract law.
As distinct from a marital separation, a divorce cannot be obtained by agreement between the parties. To secure an order of divorce, court proceedings must issue and although the parties can come to a consent-based arrangement regarding ancillary relief issues, these arrangements only have the force of law by order of the courts.
Marital agreements can be concluded at any time, prior to and/or during the course of the marriage. They become effective in line with the terms of the agreement, subject to compliance with the proper provision requirements of the governing legislation.
The spouses can mutually agree to the modification of the terms of a marital agreement. Equally one spouse can apply to the courts for relief pursuant to the governing legislation, notwithstanding the existence of the agreement. However, the courts will not typically amend the terms of an agreement unless it would be in the interests of justice to do so.

Планина Лу или Лушан позната и као Куанглу () из давних времена, налази се у северном делу провинције Ђангси у централној Кини и једна је од најпознатијих планина у земљи. Налази се углавном у префектури Ђуђанг, мада се северни делови налазе у округу Лианкси који је раније био познат као Лушан дистрикт и до 2016. године покривао већи део планине Лу. Планина овалног облика има око 25 км дужине и 10 км ширине, поред града Ђуђанга и реке Јангце на северу, града Нанчанг на југу и језера Појанг на истоку. Највиша тачка је врх Даханјанг (), са 1 474 м изнад нивоа мора и један је од стотина стрмих врхова који се надвијају над морем облака који обухватају планине скоро 200 дана у години. Планина Лу је део је Лушан Националног парка, а на листи светске баштине УНЕСКА је од 1996. године.

Лушан је било летовалиште западних мисионара у Кини. Абсалом Сиденстрикер, отац Перл Бак, био је један од првих пет мисионара који су стекли имање у Кулингу на планини.

Развој Кулинга подстакли су велечасни Едвард Литл и др Еџертон Х. Харт. Четири главне оснивачице Кинеског удружења медицинских сестара и његова прва председница, Каролин Медок Харт; састале су се у Кулингу да би основали ово удружење.

Атракције и карактеристике
Популарне атракције у планини Лу укључују: Пећине бесмртних (), Меилу зграду (), Врхове пет стараца (), Академију пећине белог јелена (), Три извора (), Језеро Лулинг (), Топле изворе (), Ботаничке вртове (), Бамбусов храм (), Мост Гуанјин (), Врт брескве (), Католичку цркву планине Лу (), и још много тога.

 Хуејуен је овде на северозападној падини 402. године основао будизам чисте земље. Овде се налази и храм Донглин.
 Лушан Национални парк је УНЕСКО-ва Светска баштина, а Национални Геопарк квартернарне глацијације је члан УНЕСКО-ве глобалне мреже Геопаркова.
 Ботанички врт Лушан садржи десетине хиљада биљних врста.
 Испод Врхова пет стараца налази се Академија за пећине белог јелена, названа по песнику Ли Боу (не сме се мешати са познатим песником Ли Бајем), који је тамо узгајао беле јелене. Једна је од најпознатијих институција високог образовања у древној Кини.
 На западу је Цветни пут који је пружио инспирацију Бај Ђуји, славном песнику који је живео током династије Танг.
 Између реке Јангце и језера Појанг леже Велико и Мало језеро Тианчи, долина Јингксиу и језеро Лулин. На северној обали потоњег налази се музеј Лушан, у коме се налазе објекти од керамике и бронзе из различитих периода древне Кине, као и калиграфија из династије Танг и слике из династија Минг и Ћинг.
 У средишту (између три врха) и на надморској висини од преко 1 километар налази се град Кулинг, који је планинским путем повезан са суседним местима у региону.
 Светски познати чај "Лушански облаци и магла" гаји се у планинама.

Политички значај
Током Дугог марша, почетком 1935. године, на овом подручју се догодила битка између комунистичких и републиканских снага, у којој је Ху Јаобанг, касније генерални секретар Комунистичке партије Кине, тешко повређен.

Планина Лу некада је називана "летња престоница" Републике Кине. Чанг Кај Шек, кинески лидер у то време, често је овде летовао. У јуну 1937. Џоу Енлај, тада главни лидер Комунистичке партије, састао се са Чангом на планини како би разговарао о јединственом фронту против јапанске инвазије. У јулу 1937. године, Чанг Кај Шек је објавио своју намеру за потпуну мобилизацију за рат против Јапана са планине Лу. 1946. године, након рата, америчка специјална дипломатска мисија коју је предводио генерал Џорџ Маршал састала се са Чанг Кај Шеком како би разговарала о улози Кине након Другог светског рата.

Мао Цедунг сазвао је три велике конференције високих партијских званичника на планини Лу, 1959, 1961. и 1970. Конференција 1959. године постала је позната као Лушанска конференција. На састанку је смењен генерал Кинеског грађанског рата и Корејског рата Пенг Дехуај, који је био критичан према Маовој политици Великог скока напред. Лушанска конференција 1970. одржана је током Културне револуције и обележила је све већи антагонизам између оданих Мау и оданих његовом изабраном наследнику Лину Бјаоу.

Rebuffing Israel, U.N. Chief Heads to Iran for Summit Meeting
Brushing aside a warning by the Israeli government and rebuffing a campaign by pro-Israeli lobbying groups in the United States, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has decided to visit Iran next week to participate in the summit meeting of the 120-member Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), described as the world's largest single political coalition.

• After much waiting and anticipation, our "great cloud of witnesses" has finally arrived here at St. Ann's….. I think you'll find their presence in our church to be very consoling. Already in the short time that they've been here, I've taken great solace in the feeling that these saints are looking down upon us, praying for us.
• Indeed, we are blessed to have them, and not simply because they add a great deal of beauty to our church. While it is true that statues and other works of art should provide a pleasing aesthetic to a church, they have a much more important role than just giving us delight.
• Statues like this make visible in a symbolic way an invisible reality. In this particular case, our statues make visible the mystery of the Communion of Saints.
• These statues remind us that the saints in Heaven are present to us, even though that great veil that separates Heaven and earth stands between us. They remind us that death does not fully sever our relations with those who have died in God's friendship.
• While we cannot see them, we know by faith that the saints are with us, interceding for us. The saints spur us on to victory, showing us the way to holiness by the example of their lives on earth. They remind us of the authenticity of our Catholic faith.
• Throughout her history the Church has been the greatest patron of the arts, for she knows that man cannot exist as simply a utilitarian being. The human soul can never be satisfied with simply having its physical needs met. Mere functionality never fulfills us; we need beauty.
• In fact our souls crave beauty, because beauty transports us beyond the confines of our material reality, and instinctively we know that there's more to life than what meets the eye. Instinctively, we know that there is an invisible world around us.
• Thus, good art and architecture are necessary components for churches, for it is here – in church – that we come by faith to meet and worship our invisible God. Good art and architecture work to strengthen our faith by making invisible realities symbolically visible.
• Christmas is a fitting time to discuss this and understand this, for this is the very holiday, the very holy day, in which we celebrate the fact that our invisible God became visible – and not simply in a symbolic way, but really, truly visible.
• Because God became man, because by the Holy Spirit Jesus Christ was incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became man, as we now say in the new translation of the Creed, salvation is now a possibility for us.
• Out of His unfathomable love, God created man in His own image and likeness from the dust of the earth, and He destined man to share in His own divine life as sons and daughters.
• But despite the immense charity and love shown to them, our first parents turned against God. Seduced by the serpent, Adam and Eve introduced sin and death into our world, forfeiting our rights to an eternal inheritance.
• And every person born since then, save our Lady and our blessed Lord, has been marked by that original sin of our first parents. Concupiscence and brokenness are now our inheritance.• Unpleasant as it is, this is a reality that we must come to understand about ourselves if we wish to move beyond it. For our sinfulness is not something that we can ever conquer alone. All attempts to do so will eventually fall short.
• No, my brothers and sisters, if we wish to move beyond our sinfulness, we must humbly recognize that we need a savior. We need someone to save us.
• On Christmas we celebrate the fact that the love of God is so great that He would not leave man to suffer forever in this terrible state created by man's own sinfulness. Fully aware of our weakness, our dear Lord became one of us in order to make satisfaction for our sins.
• You see, my dear friends, Christmas is not simply the happy anniversary of our Lord's birth. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of our salvation! We celebrate not simply the fact that God became man. We celebrate the fact that He became man to save us from our sins!
• In an even greater act of love than our creation, God wills to redeem mankind through the mystery of His Incarnation. And so Christmas is the celebration of this supreme act of love by God toward sinful man.
• Christmas is the celebration of the invisible becoming visible! In the mystery of our Lord's incarnation we find the satisfaction of our souls' deepest desires.
• Intuitively, man knows that he was created for more than this poor world can ever give us. At our deepest core, we all long and hope for Heaven. And at Christmas, we see this hope fulfilled in that tiny babe born on a cold night in Bethlehem some 2000 years ago.
• While wrapped in the flesh of a tiny child, our Lord is the antidote for our sinfulness and the sadness our sins bring us. He is the cure for all the ailments of our souls.
• Like the good shepherd who leaves everything behind to go into the dark valley to find His lost sheep, Jesus Christ, the Eternal Word of the Father, comes to us now, so great is His love for us. He comes to suffer and die for our sins, so that we might be made whole.
• No doubt most of us will receive many gifts this Christmas, and this is good. But let us not lose sight of the most important gift we are receiving: the gift of our salvation!
• May we receive our invisible God made visible with humble and contrite hearts. May we show true sorrow for our sins, confess them, and make reparation for them.
• And may we show the depth of our gratitude by following the saints in the path of holiness, so that we, in turn, might truly become like our Lord who became one of us.
• A blessed Christmas to you all.
