Just like every year Christmas decorations are now in place in Main Street in Central Plaza and the huge Christmas tree also to welcome the guests in Town Square.
The Christmas parade began Friday with only one of the two new floats of this year. The second float was not ready yet and will be presented in the coming days. At the moment, the new float of Max, Pluto or even Clarabel offers some height at the parade. That said, the difference of design between the old and the new floats is visible. Indeed, we have the feeling to see a float of Tokyo Disneyland parachuted in Paris! Changing the design of differents elements of the other floats using fake snow could be a solution for more consistency. Moreover, when it will include the float missing with the three little pigs, the parade will be worthy of a Christmas parade. In the meantime, here is the videoof the Christmas parade!
At Frontierland, the water is back in the lake which is now filed with a clear transparent water - what a change! The water lever was not yet at its peak when Max shot the pictures on Friday.
At Chaparral Stage, the Frozen show is back as well as the Frozen market place!
Let's move to Discoveryland to have a look at the works going on there.
The dome of Space Mountain is currently being repainted, and it shows!
...but of course it's at Star Tours that most of the works are happening. Canvas have disappeared on the building that will serve as meeting point with the Star Wars characters. The roof remain to be completed, for now the metal structure which will be the support of X-Wing still appear. The ground surrounding this building is now in asphalt to the difference from the rest of the paved area. The metal structure of the entrance to the attraction are now installed. The entrance in the show building has also now changed, with two separate corridors and a less important ceiling height. Moreover, the path of the outdoor waiting area is changed to direct to the expansion waiting area to be used during the days with lots of visitors.
At Videopolis, the jungle Bells band is back on stage for a Christmas orchestra directed by Goofy an playing new interpretations of Christmas and Frozen tunes in a festive, dynamic and happy atmosphere!
And that's it for this new DLP update, more coming soon! In the meantime don't miss the Disneyland Paris book Christmas special offer as it's a chance for you to get this acclaimed 320 pages book at the best price ever!

Is Hong Kong Disneyland Thinking to Tear Down Sleeping Beauty Castle and Build a New One? Answer: Probably Yes, and Here is Why
The big news of the day - though it's still only a rumor - was unveiled by WDW News Today: Hong Kong Disneyland is thinking to tear down their Sleeping Beauty Castle and build a new one! As WDW news Today says "i've heard some crazy rumors in my lifetime, but never in a million years could I fathom that a Disney theme park would remove its castle. Surprisingly, it seems that Hong Kong Disneyland park will be…"
As, yes, Hong Kong Disneyland is unhappy with the size of its copy of Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle and they find the castle itself rather unimpressive, specially now that that the huge Shanghaî Disneyland castle exist. According to WDWNT "the project is part of a rumored second expansion phase of the park that would include new attractions as well."
More in WDWNT full article HERE.
Now, do you want my feeling about this rumor? Of course you do, so here it is: watch this one closely as my feeling is that it could very well happen, as crazy as it sounds. They won't have a castle as big as in Shanghaî, thanks God, but i'm pretty sure that everyone of HKDL execs - including Bob Iger and the folks of Hong Kong administration - agree that the size of the castle is a problem. Now that they have a huge castle in Shanghai, the one at HKDL looks ridiculously small and i think they understood it's a big problem to make the park a success, whatever attractions they add at HKDL. After, as usual, it's all about money and if they're willing to spend it or not, but if they announce it officially someday i won't be surprised as there will be some logic in that, including a financial logic.
Yes, the whole thing sounds unthinkable but remember that the reason why HKDL Imagineers used the blueprint of the original Disneyland castle - as well as those of DL Main Street U.S.A - was because Eisner was not willing to give more budget to the park. Although HKDL Imagineer side a greta job it was of course a mistake as each Disney Magic Kingdom should have it's own design for the castle, as it also gives its own identity to the park. Now, how big a new HKDL castle could be? The layout of the park as it is could probably accept a castle as big as the one at DLP - with a different design - but certainly not as big as the ones at WDW or TDL. The new castle would have to be more vertical as there is less land available now that Fantasyland is built.
And if you ask how they will do if they destroy HKDL Castle to avoid an empty space at the center of the park while they build the new one, as it sure it won't look nice to have the works visible, i think i've found what they'll do: they'll probably have a giant printed canvas, just like they do on Main Street buildings when they repaint them or on DLP Main Street Station recently ( see picture below ) with the concept-art of the new castle printed on it, that's the best way to do it, i think.
Let's end with an Editing: It didn't took me long to check this rumor and, guess what, the rumor is TRUE! It doesn't mean that they are GOING to do it, but it means that they are seriously THINKING about doing it. WDWNT say that Disney should make an announcement soon, but "soon" could mean next month or in six, or one year, so we may have to wait a bit to have an official confirmation.

Shanghai Disneyland Breaks Ground on Toy Story Land - Opening Scheduled For 2018 !
It was awaited to be the next Shanghaî Disneyland attraction and it is now confirmed as SDL breaks ground for Toy Story Land. It will be the 7th themed land of Shanghaî Disneyland and will be locate behind Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. Below, full SDL press release:
Shanghai, November 10, 2016 – Woody, Buzz and all of their Toy Story friends will soon be entertaining guests at an all-new land of their own in Mainland China. One of The Walt Disney Company's most popular franchises will have an even bigger presence at Shanghai Disney Resort's theme park, Shanghai Disneyland, when the park opens its 7th themed land. Leadership from the joint venture's two shareholders, The Walt Disney Company and the Shanghai Shendi Group, recently broke ground on the new themed land, in a sign of their confidence in the growing consumer demand for themed entertainment in China, and as a clear sign of the early success of Shanghai Disney Resort.
"We couldn't be more pleased with Shanghai Disneyland's first four months of operation and couldn't be more excited about our future in mainland China," said Bob Chapek, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. "We're demonstrating our confidence by breaking ground on a new Toy Story Land that will be both authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese, delighting our guests for years to come."
Toy Story Land will be a high-spirited, colorful world where guests will enter the backyard of Andy, the boy from the movies, and will feel as if they've been shrunk down to the size of their favorite Toy Story toys for laughter and fun. The toys come to life and play in a fully immersive land with three new attractions and a uniquely themed character greeting area.
"Since its opening in June this year, Shanghai Disneyland's operation has run smoothly and our guests have been very enthusiastic. We have received positive feedback from the entire society – all of which makes us excited about the future," said Fan Xiping, chairman of Shanghai Shendi Group. "The newly announced Toy Story Land is part of the accelerated expansion plan for the first phase of the theme park. Both shareholders will continue to launch more new experiences to meet the needs of our guests from China and all over the world."
Characters and stories from the Toy Story franchise have strongly resonated with Chinese guests. Shanghai Disney Resort has the only Toy Story-themed resort hotel in the world, and Shanghai Disneyland also has the popular Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue attraction, a guest favorite which features the most advanced Buzz Lightyear targeting system at any Disney Park in the world.
"Walt Disney once said that Disneyland, and by extension, all of our theme parks, would never be complete, that they would continue to grow as long as there is imagination in the world," said Philippe Gas, general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort. "We are so excited to bring this same sense of imagination and optimism to Shanghai and look forward to growing our resort together with our guests in China. This is a great time to visit Shanghai Disney Resort and experience the magic of Disney."
The new Toy Story Land, with unique attractions and experiences guests can only have at Shanghai Disneyland, is set to open in 2018.

Universal Beijing Construction Starts !
We're back in Asia for today's D&M update as, good news, The construction of Universal Beijing has started! For now of course it's just ground works for a theme park now scheduled to open in 2020 instead of 2019, which leave more time to Shanghai Disneyland before facing the competition of Disney's biggest competitor.
The non-officially released map below shows pretty clearly that Universal Beijing envision a second theme park, and more hotels ( six if my count is right ) and even a City Walk and a water park!
On a recent presentation the map below was shown. The original picture was posted on Themeparx but i tried my best to enhance it to have a better look and it indeed confirm the map above and that multiple hotels are envisioned.
Are they thinking to build a Volcano Bay for the water park of Universal Beijing as this non-officially released rendering may indicate? Mmmmh... if yes, did someone told them that the climate is not really the same at Beijing than at Orlando?
Anyway, we're looking to learn more about Universal Beijing in the future but ...wouldn't it be great if Universal could also think to build one in Europe? After all, back in the 9à's they had plans to build a Universal Studios at Melun, 30 km from Paris...

HKDL Iron Man Experience Update! New Ride Infos, First Pictures of Stark Expo and Queue Decor, and more!
Hong Kong Disneyland released new infos about the awaited Iron Man Experience ride as well as the video below and the attraction opening date: January 11, 2017! But guests staying at HKDL hotels will enjoy from December 23 a preview of the ride, so if you're staying there for Christmas you'll be the first ones to enjoy Iron Man Experience. It probably also mean that we should get the first videos on Youtube, hey, right for Christmas!
Thanks to the video we have plenty of first pictures of the different "halls" and i did screen captures for you!
(HONG KONG, NOVEMBER 7, 2016) The much-awaited Disney Parks' first Marvel-themed ride, Iron Man Experience – Presented by AIA, will launch at Hong Kong Disneyland on January 11, 2017. For the very first time, this new ride-through attraction is featuring a story based in Hong Kong. Guests will be able to soar through Hong Kong's skies alongside Iron Man and battle the evil forces of Hydra in the multi-sensory immersive motion experience.
"Hong Kong Disneyland is excited to bring the first-ever Marvel-themed ride in a Disney Park to Hong Kong," said Samuel Lau, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. "The Iron Man Experience is a unique immersive motion experience using Hong Kong as the story background for the very first time. We are proud to give local and overseas guests a different perspective and experience of Hong Kong while promoting our vibrant city to the world at the same time."
The Resort today also announced a corporate alliance with AIA, which will be the presenting sponsor of the Iron Man Experience.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Hong Kong Disneyland in presenting Disney Parks' first Marvel-themed ride, Iron Man Experience," said Jacky Chan, Chief Executive Officer of AIA Hong Kong and Macau. "This initiative is in perfect alignment with the criteria of AIA Hong Kong's sponsorship strategy. It is a popular world-class event that can be enjoyed by members of the public. The event will create happy memories with the community, it also strengthens our brand promise to be 'The Real Life Company' by bringing an exciting experience to people of all ages. Most importantly, it gives us the opportunity to make a positive difference by helping people live healthier, better and happier lives."
Take flight with Iron Man above Hong Kong
The eminent innovator and pioneer, Tony Stark has selected Tomorrowland in Hong Kong Disneyland to host Stark Expo, where he will show off his latest high-tech creations in various exhibition halls – the Hall of Legacy, the Hall of Protection, the Hall of Energy and the Hall of Mobility. Guests will be among the first to explore Tony Stark's latest innovations up close and fly in a gravity-defying Iron Wing flight vehicle in Iron Man Experience. He has also made Hong Kong the Asia headquarters of Stark Industries hereafter.
The park has spent over three years to design and create Iron Man Experience – complete with flight simulators, 3-D projection, surround sound and other special effects that immerse guests in the Marvel story of a battle with the evil forces of Hydra.
For the first time, the park has integrated strong Hong Kong elements into a park attraction by using Hong Kong and its skyline for the fly-through ride. After putting on a pair of StarkVision glasses and taking off on Stark Industries' special Expo-edition Iron Wing, guests will make their way to the Hong Kong Stark Tower powered by the arc reactor and whizz alongside Iron Man through streets that resemble those in West Kowloon and downtown, and fly over iconic Hong Kong landmarks like Tsing Ma Bridge, Victoria Harbour and the city's pristine mountain ranges.
The Hall of Mobility shows models of Tony Stark inventions, as well as one of the Iron Man ride simulator.
Some shots of what is most probably the pre-show film before boarding in the simulator.
Want to know how look the inside of the Iron Man simulators? Have a look at Stan Lee interview in the video!
More Iron Man-themed experiences to be discovered at Tomorrowland
The Iron Man Experience will be complemented by a range of Iron Man-themed experiences unveiling at Tomorrowland in the run up to the grand launch of the Stark Expo. The brand-new Expo Shop is already opened to greet guests with a tantalizing range of 70-plus Hong Kong Disneyland exclusive Iron Man merchandise items and more than 250 items of Marvel-themed memorabilia, among them collectibles and toys, glowing key chains, souvenirs as well as apparels and accessories. Some of the exclusive apparels feature Hong Kong's postcard-perfect scenery or Stark Expo themes.
In the Expo Shop, Iron Man fans get to try on Iron Man's armor suit in the interactive game Become Iron Man at The Stark Expo. Through interactive motion-sensing technology, guests can experience the various functions of the armor and feel what it is like to be a super hero as they fight the forces of evil while zipping through streets that closely resemble Hong Kong. Guests can also take home a memento package featuring a digital photo collage of their Become Iron Man adventure, as well as a digital download of an approximately 35-second video of their transformation.
The park and hotel restaurants have prepared more than 25 Iron Man-themed food and beverage choices to refuel during the intense Iron Man Experience. Among the delectable choices are an Iron Man Waffle, Iron Man stein, Iron Man desserts at Chef Mickey Buffet and Iron Man beverages served at the resort hotels.
At the Iron Man Tech Showcase presented by Stark Industries, guests will find various Iron Man armor suits. Iron Man will also make his first appearance at Hong Kong Disneyland to meet and interact with guests.
Guests may chance upon an opportunity of a sneak preview, when the Iron Man Experience Sneak Peek is held from December 23, 2016 to January 8, 2017. Starting from December 23, 2016, guests staying at the resort's two hotels will receive a Priority Admission Pass of Iron Man Experience to shorten the wait for their turn on the Marvel-themed ride.

Lee County teachers see salary boost with incentive pay
PAMELA McCABE
PMCCABE@NEWS-PRESS.COM
Kindra Pinnace is at home in a classroom. Her passion is teaching middle school language arts, and she relishes those moments when her struggling students finally grasp a concept, achieving that one-of-a-kind, feel-good, "aha" moment when the information clicks and everything makes perfect sense.
The only thing comparable to those moments is when she can share her teaching methods and classroom experiences with other educators in the hopes they find their own success in the classroom.
For that reason, the Cape Coral resident decided to leave her longtime home of Cape Coral High School to start a new adventure at Fort Myers Middle Academy last school year. Here, she worked as a teacher leader, spending 40 percent of the school day working with students and the rest with fellow teachers, helping them build up their skills.
"I looked at this as the amazing challenge that it is to grow as a professional and grow in your skill set," Pinnace said.
The move would prove beneficial to her paycheck as well.
Fort Myers Middle is one of five Lee County schools designated as hard-to-staff, which means teacher turnover is high, academic performance is low and student demographics make it that much more important for the school to seek out and retain educators who have been proven as highly effective in the classroom.
One way they do that is by offering incentive pay.
Greg Adkins, Lee County's assistant superintendent of operations, said the district makes this possible through the federal Teaching Incentive Fund.
Lee County is one of five districts in the state to receive the money, which is for approximately $45 million spread out over five years, Adkins said. Although the grant helps put highly effective teachers in those five hard-to-staff schools, Adkins said it also takes care of incentive pay for teachers across the district through its teacher leader program.
Like Pinnace, these teachers split their days between instruction time with students and offering professional development opportunities for their peers. So instead of sending teachers off to workshops for training, Adkins said they receive training on the job in their classrooms.
"What we have found is student performance has increased where we have teacher leaders," he said.
Employees who take on the role of teacher leaders can earn up to $10,000 a year, Adkins said. Additional salary supplements are available for those who work at the hard-to-staff schools. In addition to Fort Myers Middle, the other schools are Franklin Park Elementary School, Lehigh Acres Middle School, East Lee County High School and James Stephens International Academy.
At the five hard-to-staff schools, highly effective teachers can collect up to $4,000 in incentive pay and an extra $1,000 a year for teaching one of the hard-to-staff subjects, which Adkins said are math and ESE.
Based on this schedule, if a teacher leader were to work at a hard-to-staff school and teach a hard-to-staff subject, they could take home up to $15,000 in incentive pay annually.
Hard-to-staff schools are evaluated by a rubric of 12 factors, Adkins said. He said the district pays close attention to things such as:
•the percentage of students on campus with limited English skills;
•student performance in math, reading and writing;
•the percentage of new teachers each school year;
• staff turnover rates;
•and the distance the school is from the geographical locations where a majority of Lee teachers tend to live.
Going into its third school year with the grant money, the district is poised to have 109 teacher leaders on hand at 49 schools, Adkins reported. This is an increase over the 2014-15 school year, which saw 86 teacher leaders staffed at 32 schools.
Adkins reported 283 teachers have received a hard-to-staff bonus, with the average payout coming to $4,283.28.
Pinnace, who had recently completed her master's program and found herself looking for a new challenge, didn't even realize her salary would increase when she made the school switch.
"At first I didn't even realize that was an opportunity, but it was a nice little bonus after the fact. It was not," she emphasized, "a driving force."
She was drawn to Fort Myers Middle by the possibility of changing the school's performance record and helping reach at-risk students.
"I grew and learned so much at Cape, but this would enable me to grow in a different way," she said. "At Fort Myers Middle, I knew they have been a low-performing school, but how cool would it be to be a part of restructuring it from the ground up?"
According to information released by the Florida Department of Education for the 2013-14 school year, only 39 percent of students at Fort Myers Middle tested on grade level or better for reading, with 41 percent reaching on-level goals in math and 35 percent in writing. A snapshot of the school demographics for that year also shows that 92 percent of students on campus met the requirements for free and reduced-price meals, and it had a minority rate of 87 percent.
Pinnace's past year took place in a seventh-grade classroom, and she worked closely with the rest of the language arts teachers on ongoing professional development.
"I keep telling everyone last school year was my best year in education," she said. "I loved the kids and I just wanted to work hard for them. They are just so pliable and wanted to learn and eager. That was fresh and new to me."
She felt the energy schoolwide as well. The faculty, who Pinnace said "put their heart and soul into everything," made each day exciting for everyone on campus.
Now in her eighth year of teaching, Pinnace is excited for a whole new challenge – working primarily with the district office as a professional development and leadership specialist. Although she will still get to dedicate about 20 percent of her time leading classroom instruction at Fort Myers Middle, the rest of her time will be spent making teachers around the district better at what they do day-in and day-out.
"I'm just looking forward to having another year at Fort Myers Middle. The staff, the people there, the students, they are all just so committed, and it is so encouraging to be a part of something like that."

My name is Josephine Perry and I sew things. Having recently become a parent and relocated to the North West I'm based at home, stitching away while the little one naps, from sewing tutorials to my latest venture Our Josephine for kids.
I have always been creative; I was constantly making things as a child, admiring my mum's sewing skills and attempting to emulate her talent. As a teen I painted slogans on t-shirts and hammered metal studs into jersey tops — creating clothes that I could never actually wear. Then I became a school teacher, and the only sewing I did was a little repairing and some upcycling here and there. Somewhere in the middle of my twenties, something changed, and I went back to craft.
Now I endeavour to do things properly, learning new sewing skills all the time, always wanting to make things with more competence and to pass on the techniques that I have learned in an enthusiastic way. I sew things for the home, make accessories and gifts and I am developing my dressmaking repertoire. I sometimes make for retail under the name Our Josephine; a personal highlight was having my handmade Christmas stockings on sale at the Liberty Christmas Shop in 2012. Most recently this has developed into Our Josephine for kids, a range of handmade frocks; available through my Etsy shop.
The Sewists appeared on bookshelves in 2014, featuring 20 projects from wonderfully talented designer-makers. All of the skills involved a needle and thread and each craft I encountered inspired me to want to make more. Researching, writing and styling the book was a great experience and something I'd love to do again.
With my teaching hat on I've worked with a range of great establishments including Fringe, Homemade London and Sally Bourne The Workshop. I have also had the pleasure of creating and delivering workshops for Liberty Sewing School as a Rowan tutor.
Sharing my knowledge and encouraging others to get involved in making is a real pleasure. Please do give my tutorials a whirl and let me know how you get on.
Or find me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest.


The rate of past and family psychiatric history was ascertained in 254 women diagnosed with postnatal depression. Probands and first-degree relatives were interviewed to establish lifetime and current major psychiatric diagnoses. 78.3% of the women studied had a past and/or family psychiatric history. These data confirm the importance of these variables when screening women who may be at risk for postnatal depression.

Abstract : Urbanization is a major global change inducing complex and multiple modifications of landscapes and eco- systems. The spatial distributions of organisms experiencing these modifications will likely shift specifically, depending on each species' response to each environmental modification induced by urbanization. We sampled two ant genera (Lasius and Tetramorium) at 1248 locations along an urbani- zation gradient in Lyon, France and used high resolution spa- tial layers for 18 spatial (e.g., open habitat fragmentation, bio- climatic data and surface temperatures) and temporal (e.g., comparison of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index be- tween 1986 and 2015) environmental variables associated with urbanization. Coupling two different analytical methods (Outlying Mean Index and Boosted Regression Trees), we showed that each species' distribution was influenced by its own combination of environmental factors. Two morphologically cryptic Tetramorium species (T. sp.E and T. sp.U2) were both highly abundant but with opposite responses to urbanization: while T. sp.E was favored by urbanized habitat, T. sp.U2 avoided urbanized areas. Among Lasius species, we detected 63 occurrences of the invasive ant Lasius neglectus, the distribution of which was favored only by embankments along roads. We found that, even at this reduced spatial scale, climatic effects influenced most species and interacted with urbanization factors.

Dental implants are artificial tooth root replacements, designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.
The implants are tiny titanium posts which are secured into the jaw bone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for holding substitute teeth. In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing.
An abutment (connector) is then attached to the implant which protrudes through the gums. This abutment provides a stable anchor for the replacement tooth (crown).
Usually Dental implants can be placed under a local anaesthetic, with very little post operative pain.
Our dental surgeons have received extensive training in the area of implantology. They are abreast of the most current information on implant dentistry.

Dogville (review)
Tue Apr 06 2004, 01:11am | comments off
Our Town Redux
I don't have a terribly impressive personal track record with Lars von Trier's films — I haven't seen all of them, but those I have seen have, at best, left me less than satisfied. So it was with limited expectations that I went in to Dogville… and expectations, at that, that were mostly along the lines that I was in for something half intriguing and half annoyingly experimental.
And sure enough, starts the film, and here's a narrator (John Hurt: Hellboy, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) telling us stuff, which anyone will tell you is a sure sign of a story that can't be told visually and so what is it doing on film — if we can't see it, it ain't filmic. And there's more we can't see: the set. There isn't one, except of the barest kind that the little community theater group I used to work with would have been shamed into fleshing out a little. Everyone's just walking around on a black box of a stage that's meant to represent a small-town main street, and the outlines of houses and shops and paths and such are just drawn on the black floor, almost like white chalk on a blackboard, with big freakin' labels stenciled into the middle of 'em: "Tom's House," "Elm Street," and so on. The actors mime opening and closing doors, petting the dog Moses, and I'm like What. The. Hell.
So I hunker down with my arms crossed in that skeptical, I'm-gonna-hate-this way, ready to start rolling my eyes any minute now — oh, cuz I didn't mention that the narration is full of all this down-home just-folks Americana crap about the shabby genteel poverty of these good people and this good town in the midst of the Great Depression, and the sentimentality of someone dubbing Elm Street such when this Rocky Mountain locale never heard of elm trees, and so on. Wasn't Thornton Wilder all the Thornton Wilder we needed?
But damn if I didn't completely forget to hate Dogville, and if I wasn't, three hours later, completely blown out of my little mind and right into the screening room next door. All the Thornton Wilder stuff is there just so von Trier can dynamite it away, as if to say: You wanna see what our town is like? Here it is, in all its mean, petty, horrible smallness. It's not particularly about American meanness or pettiness or smallness, though some have accused von Trier of being anti-American — it's about human meanness, etc. The only thing "anti" about Dogville is that it might be called an anti-epic — an ambitious movie with a big cast and a marathon runtime that's about how small and insular and selfish people can be, about the miserable depths to which human beings can sink in their cruelty to others. Nationality's got nothing to do with it, though the ability to wield power over other human beings might, and so there might be some pertinent application to America as a whole right now. But everyone will — or should — recognize the universality of this, the worst side of humanity.
To say too much would be to spoil the whole mind-blowingness of the film, and yet the setup sounds an awful lot like exactly where I was afraid the film was going. Nicole Kidman (Cold Mountain, The Human Stain) blows into Dogville one fine day on the heels of gunshots in the valley, and we suspect her Grace — beautiful and well-dressed, particularly in comparison to the near rags the poor citizens of Dogville are wearing — is a moll on the run. Suspicious and wary, the townsfolk have to be cajoled into hiding her by Tom Edison (Paul Bettany: The Reckoning, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World), who fancies himself the keeper of morality in the town. She's sweet and kind and pretty, and the hardened Dogvillians soften and come to love her.
But the film's only half over at that point. It's what happens next that's so… amazing. There's plenty before that point that, in retrospect, you realize is perfect. Like Tom, a searing portrait of feeble impotence, daringly executed by Bettany (I've gone from bored indifference to his work in his early films to being riveted by him). Like the whole rest of the cast, the women all stark, bitter coldness — particularly Lauren Bacall, Patricia Clarkson (The Station Agent, Far from Heaven), and Chloë Sevigny (American Psycho) — who just barely thaw toward Grace before the claws come out again, and the men all ineffectual weaklings — particularly Stellan Skarsgård (Passion of Mind, Ronin), Zeljko Ivanek (Unfaithful, Hannibal), and Jeremy Davies (Solaris, Secretary) — who find a motivation to act only when their own weakness is no longer an issue.
It's during the second half of the film that Kidman is so revelatory, and von Trier's plan becomes clear: they're creating a parable of cruelty on the one hand and suffering on the other that's something like the film that Mel Gibson, perhaps, thought he was making, and when it's over, you feel the need to watch it again right away, because how it ends changes everything. And the very aspects of the film that at first seemed to me to be artificial and unnecessarily distracting and would render the film thoroughly uninvolving — letting a narrator relate much of the tale, keeping the bare stage nearly bereft of sets or props — actually serves to blast away all the artifice of film and compress the barbarous horror of it down to a searing, elemental kernel of truth. It's hard to imagine another film this year outdoing Dogville's bracing acridness or audacity.

We all know micromanaging is bad, either from personal experiences, or from the countless articles online that tell us so. I believe that nobody really wants to be a micromanager... in theory. But if you are very talented at what you do, it can be difficult to resist micromanaging in the day-to-day. This is especially true if you are a new manager of someone who is now doing the job you used to do.
One of the major problems of micromanaging is that we do it with good intentions. Even worse, we often don't realize we are doing it (even the most self-aware of leaders fall into this trap).
Consider the work. Think about the entire scope of your responsibilities---this includes the responsibilities of your direct reports as well. Decide what can be delegated. Your goal is to delegate the majority of the predictable work so you have time and energy to to deal with the unexpected. If at any point you decide something is unfit to be delegated, keep asking yourself why (i.e., the 5 whys technique) until you reach the appropriate cause and solution.
Pick three. When you are tempted to take a red pen to that proposal your direct report just handed you, stop yourself. Instead of pointing out minor things such as grammatical errors and spelling mistakes, take a big picture view instead. Name three things that were impressive or have been done well and name three things that still need work.
Look for patterns. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and it can be helpful to keep these in mind when reviewing and assigning work. Define expectations up front and stick to that so you know what subpar and exceptional performance is when you see it. Then, only focus your attention on the areas that are in need of improvement. View this as a coaching opportunity. And if everything exceeds your expectations? Maybe it's time for more challenging work.
Encourage initiative. Beyond the ordinary required and assigned work, create time for thinking, planning, and strategizing. Encourage acting on new ideas, improving existing processes, and pursuing special projects. These side projects can often be the route to more challenging work, expanding responsibilities, new revenue streams, as well as retention and satisfaction.


"It is hereby ordered that Ambassador Ayodele Oke and wife, Folasade Oke, be arrested anywhere they are sighted in world," the Judge said.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has secured a warrant to arrest Ayodele Oke, the sacked Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), and his wife, Folashade.
The arrest order followed an application filed by Rotimi Oyedepo, counsel to the EFCC, which was granted on Thursday.
Justice Chukwujeku Aneke issued the order consequent upon the oral application argued by the anti-graft agency.
"I have carefully considered the oral application for the arrest of the person mentioned herein and I am convinced beyond reasonable doubt that the said application is meritorious. Accordingly the application is hereby granted as prayed. It is hereby ordered that Ambassador Ayodele Oke and wife, Folasade Oke, be arrested anywhere they are sighted in world," the Judge said.
The case has also been adjourned till March 18, 2019, for report of arrest.

Army Museum Adds German Artillery to Collection
Army.mil/News | By Jeff Crawley
FORT SILL, Okla. -- The premier heavy howitzer used by the German Army in World War I is now part of the collection at the Army Field Artillery Museum at Fort Sill. The Mörser 16 is a 21-centimeter or 8.3-inch caliber, 14,700-pound howitzer that fired a massive 245-pound shell. It was introduced in 1916. "It's a very nice addition to our collection," said Gordon Blaker, artillery museum director and curator. "It was one of the guns on my want list." The museum did not have an example of a German heavy artillery gun from the first world war before the Mörser 16 arrived. This type of 210mm heavy howitzer was originally introduced in 1910 as the Mörser 10 according to the information plaque at the gun exhibit. It was one of the standard weapons of the foot artillery regiments the heavy artillery units in the German army.
Gun origins
Experience in the first two years of the war showed that while effective, the howitzer needed a longer range so the Mörser 16 was introduced. It had a longer barrel which gave it a slightly longer range. Another improvement over the 10 was a splinter shield to protect its eight-man guncrew from enemy shrapnel. By the end of the war, German 21cm howitzers had fired more than 7 million shells. The Mörser 16 continued service with the German army into World War II. The gun was transported by a team of 12 to 14 horses, Blaker said. "A lot of times on guns this big they would take the tubes (barrels) off and move them separately just because they were so massive."
Movie-goers may recognize the Mörser 16 from "War Horse," where it was featured prominently. Fort Sill's Mörser 16 was manufactured in 1912 and had the new, longer barrel installed in 1917. It was captured by the 1st Army troops in the Argonne Forest region of France in 1918. In the United States, the gun was put on outdoor display at Fort Jay, N.J., then moved to Fort Meade, Md. in 1983.
No gun, will travel The artillery museum obtained the Mörser 16 from Fort Meade, where two of them were in a storage facility. Fort Meade Museum officials were willing to donate both guns to the artillery museum, but Blaker only needed one. Which gun did Blaker choose? The one that was easiest to move. The gun was so heavy the only way it could be moved was with a forklift, however, the only forklift big enough to lift the gun was too massive to fit inside the Meade facility, Blaker.
Zane Mohler, museum exhibit specialist, went to Fort Meade to figure out how to get the gun to Fort Sill, Blaker said. Mohler came back here and built two heavy-duty dollies which were then shipped to Fort Meade.
Back at Meade Sept. 6, Mohler jacked up the Mörser 16 onto the dollies and had the gun pulled out of the facility. A crane operator then loaded the seven-ton gun onto a flatbed truck and it departed for Fort Sill that day, Blaker said. Restoration "The gun was in rough shape," Blaker said. Whole areas of its hollow metal wheels were completly missing. The gun trail's two compartments also had been filled with more than 400 pounds of concrete. "I spent two full days jack hammering the concrete out," Blaker said.
Craftsmen at the Fort Sill Directorate of Logistics worked on the gun for more than four months, Blaker said. First, they sandblasted the gun, then it went into the metal shop. "One or two workers cut out the rusted parts and replaced them," he said, "that went on for some time." With its freshly painted flat, gray-green original colors, the Mörser 16 was put on display April 2 inside the museum in the artillery timeline.

This research was initiated as a proactive response to a major reform of the structures of initial teacher education (ITE) in Ireland to support best practice (Teaching Council, 2017). We are undergoing an iterative process of design research with the intention of investigating and refining the mathematics education modules undertaken by students on our undergraduate Bachelor of Education programme (Borko, Liston & Whitcomb, 2007).The first phase of the research involved the design of a module on Measures for 460 first year ITE students. Students' perceptions of the module and their mathematics teacher efficacy beliefs were investigated using an online questionnaire based on Enochs, Smith and Huinker's (2000) Mathematics Teacher Efficacy Beliefs Instrument (MTEBI). The second phase of data collection will commence soon. This involves inviting the same cohort to participate in focus group interviews.

Thanks John. So just need Spark, 2degrees and Optus confirmation and then wait in line. Mid May seems reasonable (possibly).
Edit: Pro tip. Don't start the upgrade if you need to set the alarm on your phone to wake yourself up in the morning. LOTS of reboots! So it takes a while.
And don't freak out if it sits on the "HTC One beatsaudio" splash screen for ages. Eventually it will flip over to "Optimizing apps 1 of 308" (for me anyway. I had no idea I had 308 apps installed lol). Looking forward to see how much impact the ART makes!
And that's it. About 50 minutes from clicking download to new homescreen. Some notifications straight away on the lock screen to update Google Play services.
Yes I woke up this morning to this update. Installing now. Slightly more complicated because I had to reinstall the stock recovery and uninstall Xposed (version not compatible with lollipop).
Taking a while, so thanks for the heads up about the long install time.
Still chugging away 45 minutes later. Optimizing 451 apps! I think I need to have a bit of a clean out.
After the fourth reboot it stopped optimizing apps.
Ran into a problem when I did a Nandroid backup though. The file manager (Windows or Android) couldn't see the backup file although it was definitely there. I had to go into the terminal emulator and reestablish the file link to the data/media/0 folder.
All good now though except it seems to be chewing through battery at a huge rate. Some re-tweaking obviously required.
Lollipop has broken some if the functionality of "Secure Settings" mainly to do with the enabling/disabling of the pin lock via Tasker. I have tried the new "Secure Device" option in the security settings (paired to smartwatch) to achieve the same thing but it still brings up the key guard which I don't want.
I like new look but miss Fast Boot now that it has gone from the power settings. Two and a half minutes to start up rather than 20 seconds.
Next step is to decide whether to take a chance and install an Alpha version of Xposed developed for lollipop.
After the update downloaded and installed it had to optimise my apps, afterwards it rebooted and my phone is now stuck at the welcome screen.
I've managed to turn it off and back on and everytime I turn it back on I get spammed with 'sense ui crashed' 'x app crashed' messages and asking me to send information to htc or ignore and sent back to the welcome screen.
The phone is roughly 1.75 years old, never done anything I'm not meant to software wise.
From a distance I would say you have interrupted the upgrade process by doing a hard reset (holding the power button down). When I did my update the splash screen was there for what seemed like ages. I decided to walk away and leave it be as I have been burnt in the past. From what I have read there is a lot for the system to do rearranging file systems and changing things from dalvik to ART. XDA is possibly your best bet, but at best you may be in for a factory reset.
For those that have received the 2Degrees OTA, has it broken Semble support?
My M7 is on Spark (same rom though) and Semble is broken on 5.0.1 so I assume 2D is the same until the handset is recertified by each provider for the lollipop update.
BTW... Telecom(Spark) NZ bought phone running through Vodafone AU.
Did you go ahead and update? If you did I hope you didn't want to go to bed straight away because it was the longest update I have experienced on the M7. A backup is always advisable particularly with this one I think because of the change to ART and a rearrangement of some file locations.
How are people finding the Lollipop update on battery life? My wife's one usually dies around 5pm each day. It was never very good but seems to drain even more rapidly now.
Hard to say but I would say it *feels* like the battery life is worse after the update. Seems to struggle to last a full day now, whereas it was usually still at 25-30% at bedtime previously. Does vary on usage tho so not a definitive analysis!
I haven't noticed it being worse. But then I don't push it too hard, and so I always have battery left at the end of the day when I charge.
The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the 'recent apps' layout. I don't find the vertical layout carousel easy to see at a glance. I'm interleaving my web pages in this view as per the default setting, just to give it a try, but I think I'll end up putting my browser tabs back into the browser.
I've never really figured out if closing apps in this view saves power. But it does seem like they they remain open in the background until closed this way. For some reason I seem to end up forgetting to 'close' lots more apps due to this interface. Wonder if other people are experiencing the same, and it's this behavior drawing a tiny bit more power?
I'm really liking everything else though. And I was already pretty satisfied with KitKat.
I'm liking the themes (I think I'm using one called wet wood at the moment). The material design effects on everything are something I thought I would hate, but it's actually really nice. I like the lockscreen notifications, and also that OK Google can open through the lookscreen (previously it responded, but stayed behind the lockscreen till I opened it).
The extra camera option I can take or leave. I wish a software update could magically fix the pink tinge in low light, but that's a hardware thing I know.
I'm surprised not to hear more hoopla about the Lollipop upgrade in this thread to be honest. But I guess most people here are flagship phone buyers and power users, so have either moved on to another phone or already had all this functionality through mods anyway.
Hey, random question: Did everyone get a Clean Master app with this upgrade? It feels like one of those super sketchy malware programs that sites try to convince you to download. If it's from HTC officially though, I'll give it a crack.
Thanks to not depending on NZ carriers for my OTA updates, I got the Lollipop update on March 5th.
My initial impression was that it wasn't a terribly exciting update, but more recently I had to perform a factory reset on my device, and since then I have found that it restored some apps I had been missing (flashlight and calculator) and the general performance is excellent. I had rooted my phone and started playing with colours in Sense6 Toolbox before I realised that you can now create custom themes for the phone and get consistent colours without resorting to third party tools. That's a very welcome addition.
Battery life is about the same as I got on KitKat: all over the place. Yesterday I was on 65% at 7pm, today I am on 50% at 5pm. I guess my usage levels are quite varied.
I preferred the KitKat quick toggles in the notification shade, having to do a second gesture to reach them is surprisingly annoying, and I REALLY don't like the thing where it leaves all your apps in the app switcher, even through a reboot. It just means the device rarely gives the impression of being 'fresh' for want of a better way of describing that.
I preferred the old non-italic lock screen clock, and I miss the proper Pandora art propagation to my Moto360 - though that's Pandora's fault for not updating to do Lollipop notifications properly.
I use an alternate launcher and pretty much the only app I ever see that shows the SenseUI is the dialler (and that's rare for me) so the update really made very little difference to me on a day to day basis. I don't know what I really expected but the difference vs the previous OS is pretty minimal for my usage patterns.
Dingbatt: Did you go ahead and update? If you did I hope you didn't want to go to bed straight away because it was the longest update I have experienced on the M7. A backup is always advisable particularly with this one I think because of the change to ART and a rearrangement of some file locations.
Did the update the next day at work. Took just over an hour I'd guess, but I left it going on my desk so not entirely sure.
I'm enjoying the improvements to navigation, but I've found the HTC messaging app has pretty much given up the ghost. I'm going to move to an alternative... It wasn't ever great, but I've never been a fan of third party messaging apps. Now HTC have given me no choice.
Battery life hasn't really changed at all. I get the feeling that what some people think is more battery life is actually just a background calibration occurring with the update which gives them a more accurate assessment - so fewer seemingly sudden drops. My battery is pants. If I don't charge in the afternoon at work, it doesn't last till bedtime - let alone a night out with friends. I don't run a lot of apps either. Just regular browsing on the train and at lunch.
I'd go for a new phone this year, but the M9 hasn't wowed me and samsung/LG lack things that are important to me such as good front facing speakers and sense.


Third world countries face a lot of hardships when it comes to many of the basic needs we take for granted. Water, sewage, nutrition, education. Many of these problems require big resources and an infrastructure that is decades away from fruition. Luckily, there are times when a big problem can be fixed incrementally with a smaller infusion of cash, good design and word-of-mouth advertising.
One such problem facing thousands of impoverished Mayan families is their need for a safe means of cooking meals for their families.
A typical indigenous stove is called a "three stone stove" because all you need is three stones of equal height to hold things (a metal plate, pot of water, etc.) over an open flame. The stove costs nothing to build but the mid-to long-term costs are detrimental to the family and the country.
They are generally created and maintained indoors (with no chimney) leaving carbon monoxide fumes to spread throughout the house. This results in long-term respiratory issues and even deaths. According to the World Health Organization, excessive smoke inhalation is the leading cause of death in Guatemalan children under the age of 5.
It heats inefficiently. Most of the heat escapes from the sides. This means more wood is needed and results in the family spending their much needed time (and/or money) gathering wood instead of working to earn more money for food, clothing, etc. It also results in increased deforestation, another big problem in the country.
The open flames of the fire commonly results in severe and permanent burns to curious or clumsy children.
These issues impact thousands of families daily because it is their only means for boiling water and cooking food. Fortunately there is a low cost solution, and several non-profit organizations in the country are working hard to implement it.
The solution is the ONIL Stove (named after it's creator US Engineer, Don O'Neal).
The design and implementation of the ONIL Stove is simple, yet brilliant. It is elevated off the floor by cinder blocks (making it easier to cook and decreasing opportunities for children to get burned). The fire is contained in an insulated clay-fired firebox (further decreasing burns). The exhaust from the stove is vented through a galvanized steel chimney (virtually eliminating the toxic gases when vented outside). The ONIL Stove is energy efficient, using 70% less wood than a three stone stove. Best of all, it only costs $150 - installed!
5 -Insulate the top basin with crushed gravel and ensure proper airflow.
6 - Ready the chamber. She's pointing to the location where the wood will go. Notice it only needs small branches, not big pieces of wood.
Our friends have an ONIL Stove, and they use it daily. It was cool to see it in action.
They use it to boil water, make fresh tortilla and cook pretty much everything.
The ONIL Stove is changing lives in Guatemala and has been installed in over 50,000 homes throughout the country. If you're interested in sponsoring a stove or donating to installs we recommend contributing to the Cojolya Association. We know the founding family personally. They do fantastic work.
