Charlie Cox Talks Physical Challenge of Daredevil: Born Again Being 18 Episodes
Marvel Studios announced Daredevil: Born Again earlier this year and revealed that it would be an 18-episode series. Speaking to Variety, actor Charlie Cox discussed just how crazy it was hearing that.
In a new interview, Cox — who played Daredevil in the Netflix series and has also appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law — revealed that he knew Daredevil: Born Again was happening just a few days before the official reveal at San Diego Comic-Con.
"I found out about Daredevil: Born Again maybe a few days before they announced it at Comic-Con," said Cox. "I knew there was a project in the works, but I didn't know what it was. When I first heard from Kevin [Feige] in June 2020, the two things that he mentioned were "Spider-Man" and "She-Hulk." He said after that we'll have to see what comes next."
Cox then went on to discuss the show's 18-episode format, describing it as "mad" before noting that he knows shooting for it will be a "real slog" and challenge, but is excited to tell the stories of Daredevil again.
"It's mad. I have no idea; your guess is as good as mine," Cox said of working on the series and what fans might see from it. "Just in terms of shooting, physically it's going to be a real slog and that will be a challenge in and of itself, which I'm excited about. It's such a bold move. The character being a lawyer lends quite well to that. There's a lot of story you can tell, just outside of the superhero element."
Daredevil: Born Again will stream on Disney+ in the spring of 2024. Both Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio will return to the series as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Wilson Fisk/Kingpin respectively.

Passive fire market to see downturn?
Industry professionals urged to complete fire and security sector skills survey
By : Brian Sims
Tag: Apprentices, Apprenticeship Levy, Apprenticeships, BFPSA, British Fire Protection Systems Association, British Security Industry Association, BSIA, ECA, Electrical Contractors' Association, Emergency Services, Engineers, FETA, FIA, Fire & Security Association, Fire Extinguishing Trade Association, Fire Industry Association, Fire Sector, FSA, Pro-Activ Publications, Risk UK, Security Installers, Security Sector, SELECT, Skills, TheSecurityLion, Trade Associations, Trailblazer, Trailblazer Employer Group
Professionals across the entire fire, emergency and security sector are being urged to complete a new skills survey produced by the Fire & Security Association (FSA), the Fire Industry Association (FIA) and the British Security Industry Association (BSIA), which aims to understand the current state of play in the industry.
The survey, which can be completed online, includes questions on the upcoming fire, emergency and security Trailblazer apprenticeship, the Apprenticeship Levy and the role of apprentices in general. It should take just a couple of minutes to complete, with responses having to be submitted on or before Thursday 2 February at 5.00 pm.
The Trailblazer Employer Group (with the support of the FSA, the FIA, the BSIA and other key industry stakeholders) has developed a fire, emergency and security systems technicians apprenticeship which will be launched next month. This project is part of the Government's Trailblazer initiative, which focuses on employer-designed apprenticeship standards to ensure apprentices' training and assessment directly meets industry and business needs. Once launched, the new standard will replace the current industry apprenticeship framework.
Pat Allen, who leads the employers group running the Trailblazer apprenticeship, commented: "As a collective, the FIA, the FSA and the BSIA urge the entire fire, emergency and security industry to complete our joint skills survey, which aims to take a snapshot of where the sector is right now. With the Trailblazer apprenticeship set to formally launch very shortly it's certainly an exciting time for our sector, with employers set to hire a new generation of engineers and installers of the future."
The survey has gone live in the lead-up to the full launch of the fire, security and emergency systems Trailblazer apprenticeship, an event being run in collaboration by the employers group involving the FSA, the FIA and the BSIA.
The FSA, the ECA, the FIA and the BSIA
The FSA is a Trade Association dedicated to companies who design, install, commission, maintain and monitor electronic fire, emergency and security systems. As a specialist group of the Electrical Contractors' Association (ECA) and working in partnership with SELECT, the Scottish electrotechnical Trade Association, the FSA is uniquely positioned to improve industry standards and both enhance and develop members' businesses.
For its part, the ECA is the UK's largest Trade Association representing electrical, electrotechnical and other engineering contractors at the regional, national and European levels. ECA member companies are rigorously assessed before membership is approved.
The FIA is a not-for-profit Trade Association promoting professional standards in the UK's fire safety industry. The Association was formed in April 2007 out of a merger between two long-standing and well-respected Trade Associations, namely the Fire Extinguishing Trade Association (FETA) and the British Fire Protection Systems Association (BFPSA).
The British Security Industry Association is the Trade Association covering all aspects of the professional security industry in the UK. Its constituent member organisations provide over 70% of the UK's security products and services and rigidly adhere to strict quality standards at all times.

Here Is The Ideal Age To Succeed As An Entrepreneur, Study Finds
by Tomas Witter
in Business, World
It's young and it doesn't know. That's kind of what one might think from reading this new study. However, most of the stars who are at the head (and at the origin) of Silicon Valley's major successes started and succeeded before the age of thirty, be it Mark Zuckerberg, Evan Spiegel (Snap), Elon Musk, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Steve Jobs or Bill Gates and certainly many others.
But if they made it through their genius, their work, their vision and a little help from fate for some, did their age at the time of their ascension play a crucial role? Personally, I think so. These people are rock stars, and rock stars become famous when they're young because age is part of the legend. It's a question of image.
That being the case, is it the case for all entrepreneurs? I'm not sure. New research to be published in the American Economic Review casts doubt on the idea that youth is an advantage when it comes to entrepreneurial success, especially in the case of high-growth entrepreneurship.
A team of researchers led by Pierre Azoulay of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has studied the relationship between age and high-growth entrepreneurship.
"Our main finding is that successful entrepreneurs are middle-aged, not young," the researchers say. "We find no evidence to suggest that founders in their 20s are particularly likely to be successful. On the contrary, there is evidence that founders are particularly successful when they start a business in middle age or beyond, while younger founders appear to be at a disadvantage. »
Older people do better than young people
To arrive at this conclusion, Pierre Azoulay and his team assembled data from a variety of sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau's Longitudinal Business Database (LBD), tax forms (Form K-1 for S companies and Form W-2 for C companies), and data from the annual U.S. Census of Entrepreneurs (ASE) survey. The researchers were then able to compile the records of more than 2.5 million entrepreneurs who have started businesses in the United States (excluding sole proprietorships) since the 1970s. Interestingly, the average age of entrepreneurs in all firms was 42 years.
The researchers then looked at founders who were active in high-growth entrepreneurship, typically start-ups and digital. The researchers found that the average age of the founders of high-tech companies was 43 years old. The average age of founders of venture capital-backed start-ups and Silicon Valley-based companies was 42.
The researchers then examined whether the age of the entrepreneur was a predictor of success. To do so, they separated the founders of the most successful entrepreneurial firms and compared their age to that of the general population. Contrary to popular belief, they found that founders of more successful firms were slightly older. This was the case when the authors defined success in a variety of ways, including determining whether founders successfully "exited" (i.e., by acquisition or IPO) or by measuring employment growth.
The authors conclude: "The 1,700 founders of the fastest-growing new companies (the top 0.1%) in our universe of U.S. firms were on average 45 years old at the time of their creation (compared to 43.7 years for the top 1% and 42.1 years for the top 5%). Regardless of the measure of the size of the technology share chosen, we see that older founders are progressing towards higher returns, particularly for the top-performing companies (1 in 100 or 1 in 1,000), as well as for those founders who have successfully exited. This evidence is at odds with the widespread belief that successful entrepreneurs tip the balance in favor of younger ones. »
Researchers also report differences in the entrepreneurial sector. Not surprisingly, entrepreneurs in the oil, gas and manufacturing sectors tend to be among the oldest, while entrepreneurs in the telecommunications, data processing, and software publishing sectors are among the youngest.

Posted by grhomeboy in Architecture Cyprus, Business & Economy, Shopping.
With Limassolians unfettered by the noise about the opening of the Mall of Cyprus in Nicosia, work is underway to build a 30,000-square metre shopping mall with 150 shops in the coastal port town.
The biggest continuous pouring of concrete was completed in Zakaki two weeks ago for the construction of a foundation raft, in what is considered a major achievement in the erection of a commercial property in the East Mediterranean and Middle East.
The concrete pouring work was completed in about 30 hours by hundreds of workers and engineers from the construction company Atlas Pantou. A total of four batching plants of concrete were involved using six pumps and 35 concrete-mixer trucks. In all, 533 loads of concrete were delivered, which resulted in the pouring of around 5.000 cubic meters of concrete. All this was for the construction of the central basement floor of the mall.
Dimitris Krikellis, Marketing Manager of Tiffany Investments Ltd, owner of Limassol's first shopping mall said that the building will also include cafés, restaurants, as well as other places for leisure and entertainment.
The mall is being built on a plot of 100,000 sq.m. and will have parking spaces for 2,000 cars. It hopes to attract around 10,000 visitors per day, which is less than half the traffic at the Mall of Cyprus during the first week of operation. The project will be concluded in August 2008 and the grand opening of the mall is scheduled for the fall of 2008.
The operator of the new mall will "an international experienced mall management company," Krikellis said, adding that the total cost of the whole project is estimated at close to CyPounds 40 million (68 million euros).
"We believe that the mall's contribution to the economy of Cyprus and not just that of Limassol is multifold, since it is one of the largest investments in retailing ever made in Cyprus creating some 1,000 new jobs.
Krikellis said the new mall is located in Zakaki, one of the fastest developing areas of Limassol, only one kilometre away from the new port of Limassol, ten minutes from the city center and five minutes from the British bases.
Although he could not say which retail companies or fashion houses had agreed to take up shops, Krikellis said that "many international and Cypriot companies have already signed agreements with Tiffany Investments Ltd., but brands or names of the companies cannot be given at this stage.

The New Zealand triathlete Kris Gemmell led from the start of the bike leg to secure his third BG Triathlon World Cup victory with a commanding win in Greece yesterday.
The world number five imposed his aggressive race plan on the rest of the field early in the bike leg, quickly establishing a substantial break on a world class group of triathletes including former World Champion Ivan Rana of Spain.
The huge effort on the bike did not show as Gemmell immediately went to work, with just the 18-year-old Alistair Brownlee of the UK able to stay with the hot pace from the Kiwi number two.
After running side by side for the bulk of the ten kilometre distance with Brownlee, Gemmell surged away with apparent ease in the final 200 metres to score yet another win for a New Zealander in World Cup racing this year.
Meanwhile fellow Kiwi Blair Jordan struggled to make an impact in the hot conditions in Rhodes and eventually withdrew from the event.

Ever walked into a gallery and felt like you could cut through the atmosphere with a knife? An artist may pour his heart and soul into one of his works, but as it hangs in the exhibition hall, all that's left is a finished product waiting to be purchased according to visual appeal. When the fairest of them all is taken home and placed on that bit of empty wall you wanted to fill, you've got a picture before you that is meant to speak a thousand words. But are you really in tune with what the artist was thinking at the time of creation?
Last year, artists from the Paphos district opened their personal workshops to the public for the first time ever, creating enormous interest as art lovers travelled even to remote villages to catch a glimpse of what happens behind closed doors.
This year, Open Studios is expanding beyond Paphos to cover the Limassol district as well. Each artist involved in the occasion will open their studio door to the public throughout various weekends in October. Artists who don't have their own workshop will be exhibiting at one of the participating galleries. From Polis Chrysochous all the way to the centre of Limassol, there are 22 different locations that are calling out to be discovered by art lovers.
Since the idea was launched in England some 20 years ago, it has spread and gained popularity worldwide. Very different from the usual experience of visiting galleries, Open Studios gives you the chance to get to know artists in an informal atmosphere as you enjoy the privilege of spending time chatting and learning more about how various types of art work are produced.
"A traditional art exhibition can certainly be a bit sterile," explains one of the organisers, Nic Costa. "Whereas walking into a gallery can be a bit cold and impersonal, Open Studios is all about getting to the know the person who has created the art work that hangs on the wall." What were they thinking when they created the specific image? And how do they feel about the outcome? These are just some of the interesting things you can chat about when you meet the persona behind the picture that glares back at you.
You'll have the unique opportunity to discover beautiful pieces of art that you wouldn't normally stumble upon and if something appeals to you, it's all down to a one-to-one transaction between you and the artist. "Being an artist tends to be an isolated occupation and Open Studios is a non profit making initiative that aims to directly benefit the creator without any of the commissions that burden the artist," Nic explains.
With so many interesting things to see, organisers urge everyone to tell friends and family about the scheme. If you don't live in Paphos or Limassol, it may be a good idea to plan a weekend trip down to the respective towns so you can really soak up the great atmosphere.
You can pick up your Open Studios guide now for free from supermarkets, kiosks and other retail outlets throughout Paphos and Limassol. In October, look out for the banners bearing the distinctive Open Studios logo on a blue and yellow background hanging near the entrances of each artists' workplace. The special website, as well as the guidebook, provides the dates each artist will open their studio, as well as directions to each studio, addresses, and phone numbers.
Aes Ambelis Winery > It was always obvious that the Aes Ambelis winery would progress. Since the late eighties, when it was founded, the aim was set: unique wines of premium quality.
George Tripatsas, the Director, said that the winery's whites and reds were the house wines at many od the leading hotels in Cyprus since late 90's. The Xynisteri-based dry white had a refreshing tropical fruit taste and the Chardonnay a strong, pink grapefruit flavour. Cretan Savvas Fakoukakis, partner and winemaker, puts emphasis on achieving aromatic complexity and rich, full flavours. For the reds in particular, ageing in fine, new, French oak barrels and cellaring the bottles in their underground cellars contributes extensively to the rich and unique character of his wines.
This modern winery is distinct in architectural style, and the estate is located on the slopes of Kalo Chorio Orinis in the Nicosia district, just 28 km from the capital. Vineyard management is the key phrase that George repeats time after time. And he has actually confessed that he believes the status his wines have achieved is down to this practice.
The winery uses most of the grape varieties available on the island, a combination of local and international varieties. Xynisteri and Semillon are used for the Aes Ambelis dry white, while the red Aes Ambelis is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Mourvadre and Maratheftiko. The cosmopolitan Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon form the elite of the varietals. Recently, Aes Ambelis launched Liastos, a dessert wine made with Muscat of Alexandria and the Grand Gold Medalist medium dry rose.
Talking about medals, Aes Ambelis has won awards for wines other than the rose: three gold medals and a silver medal at the Cyprus Wine Competition, a competition that only began last year. No wonder I call this winery the "awards winner".
2006 Aes Ambelis Chardonnay, Paphos Regional, Alcohol Volume 13.5% > The batonage method was applied, a technique where the wine while ageing on the lees is hand stirred weekly to promote depth and longevity, using new oak barrels for maturing the wine for at least six months. Clear light gold colour, the hue has a bright gold colour on the rim. The wine opens with a touch of creamy aromas of citrus, orange blossoms, ripe peach and red apples on a tropical background and vanilla. The medium body mouthfeel features sweet citrus, ripe peach, lemon/lime and a touch creamy on the finish. Balanced acidity and fruit and toast. Serve not too cold at 11 degrC enjoyed with salad and grilled chicken, scallops in white wine and spinach, pastas with salmon in creamy sauce.
2003 Aes Ambelis Cabernet Sauvignon, Limassol Regional, Alcohol Volume 14% > A silver medal winner at both the International Thessaloniki Wine Competition and the 2006 Cyprus Wine Contest. This wine aged for twelve months in new French oak barrels, and subsequently in the bottle. What we have is probably one of the best Cabs on the island, with a robust, deep red colour. Layers of scent and flavour escape on take off, blackcurrant, cherry, black pepper, tobacco and cedar. A velvety feel seduces your mouth with ripe fruit character and chocolate, leading right to a slightly rustic herbaceous landing. Surprisingly the tannins are smooth in this full-bodied wine. Pair it with rich meats like lamb, grilled steak or salmon or with strong cheese like cheddar at 18 degrC.
2006 Aes Ambelis Shiraz, Limassol Regional, Alcohol Volume 14% > Yet another medal winner, silver in Thessaloniki and gold last year in Cyprus. This Shiraz is aged for 14 months in new, French oak barrels. It is a dense, red-purple wine. The nose reeks of sweet, over-ripe, warm climate Shiraz fruit of black plums and blueberries in particular along with white pepper, dried date and hints of oak. A big, soft, sweet, cloying wine on the palate loaded with herby plum fruit and with very appealing ripe, slightly spicy tannins and fairly soft acidity. Oven roasted leg of lamb, rare roast beef, barbecue steak and mature cheese at 17 degrC. Limited.

"The SD500 is the first and only electronic kit that delivers a true drumming experience, along with professional features and an incredible range of sounds, all for under $500."


Whatever business you're in and however tech-centric you've been, you're more so today than you were yesterday and you'll be more so tomorrow than you are today. And so IT goes, until one day we awaken to the reality that we're all in the technology business. At that point (and it's not a distant one), how we do IT will be THE critical success factor in determining how well we do in business and whether we've earn the right to continue being in business at all.
So, if technology is increasingly part of every business's core, can we expect to see more or less outsourcing of IT? Logic says less. After all, the business case for IT outsourcing was been built upon the premise that IT was not core to most businesses. If it is becoming so, then the case for outsourcing IT is becoming weaker by the day. Enter the case for IT insourcing.

Premiere: Florian Picasso – Obsession
By Amy Shaw
As one of the dance music industry's most pioneering producers, Florian Picasso is quickly becoming one of the most dominant figures in the scene. After a year of impressive releases across some of the industry's most high-profile labels including Spinnin' Records, Nicky Romero's Protocol Recordings, and Tiësto's Musical Freedom, the Vietnamese-French star has just revealed his brand new anthem, which is due to be released tomorrow, and is perhaps his most detonative yet.
'Obsession' sees Florian Picasso return to Tiësto's iconic label Musical Freedom, having released 'Blast From The Past' on the label last year, which received a positive reception across the board. His most recent release 'Only For Your Love' saw him collaborate with global superstar Nicky Romero, taking the scene by storm with its striking drop alongside heavenly vocals, providing the perfect balance between the characteristic styles of both producers.
An embodiment of dark energy with an aggressive kick, 'Obsession' is exhilarating from start to finish. The sheer force behind the track serves as a showcase of Florian Picasso's prowess as a producer, with the ability to create jaw-dropping weapons that certainly pack a punch. The track will no doubt be a regular feature of live performances in the months to come, and will unquestionably provoke a monumental crowd reaction every single time.
Listen to the exclusive We Rave You premiere of 'Obsession' below.

About the Author / Amy Shaw
24-year-old dance music addict from the UK. My biggest passions are progressive house, techno and trance.


From the first time I saw his photographs I was taken with the humour and beauty that he manages to captured. He has a knack to photograph the small moments of happiness and irony in the world that most people don't really pick up on. His shooting style is refreshing in a time where there's a lot of the same out there, it's like a beautiful mix between furtive street photography and raw photo journalism.

In addition to regular cleaning and inspection, team-based improvement activities make effective use of operators' hands-on knowledge.
Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. As Simon Sinek noticed in his travels around the world, great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. Some of these teams trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other.
Far more common, unfortunately, are teams that seem doomed to infighting, fragmentation, and failure, no matter what incentives are offered. But why?

Devon Yacura will talk about PPCPs at the Whitehorse sewage lagoon.
In room A2206. Bring your lunch!
Meet Devon Yacura, a masters student researching where our pharmaceutical personal care products end up and what impact they have on birds.
Devon has conducted the first-ever assessment of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) at a wastewater treatment plant in northern Canada. His study sampled water, sludge, aquatic invertebrates and algae, to evaluate the occurrence, removal efficiency, seasonal variation and bioaccumulation of PPCPs.
Currently, no guidelines exist for PPCP concentrations in effluent discharge into the environment or sludge disposal.
This data is a critical first step in establishing a baseline data set used for future research and monitoring. Continuous monitoring and research will position the Yukon as a leader in the emerging field of pharma-ecology.
Join Devon as he shares his research and takes us on a journey from our bathrooms to the Whitehorse sewage lagoon. Or if you can't make it there in person, join the talk from the comfort of your own computer or mobile device. Email to request a web link to the live presentation.
