RED DOT DESIGN AWARDS CONTROVERSY
A group of designers have criticised the selection process for the internationally proclaimed product design prize, the Red Dot Awards. Our Editor-in-Chief looks at the controversy, plus the cost to enter your work at creative festivals.
Image: Michael Weinzettl spots the Bretz Kautsch sofa (a Red Dot Design Award 2010 winner) in a Frankfurt shop window.
A couple of weeks ago, when I was in Frankfurt for the ADC Germany's annual exhibition, I went strolling through the city's centre at night. I had lived there for many years but that was a decade ago, and there was something slightly surreal and dreamlike about seeing so many old familiar sights interpolated with completely unfamiliar buildings that didn't belong in the way I remembered them.
At one corner I was greeted by a huge, brightly-lit window of a new high-end furniture store with not much on display but a big, luridly coloured velvet sofa. It looked like a remnant from the set of Barbarella. I half expected Jane Fonda in her 1968 sci-fi-sex-kitten-in-distress mode to hover nearby.
"If I had no taste whatsoever," I thought, "I'd covet that sofa like mad." Then I looked again and saw that next to it was a placard announcing that this thing had won a Red Dot Design Award in 2010.
Which is why I had to laugh when I read earlier this week on the German 'Design Kritik' Facebook page that there was a storm brewing about this internationally acclaimed product design award, and that its founder Professor Peter Zec and the award-giving modalities of this scheme were at its very centre.
A group of designers who wish to remain anonymous have launched a critique of Zec on their recently launched (German) website red-dot-design-award. To keep the identity of the critics undercover, the domain was registered through Whois Privacy Protect, a service that ensures names aren't listed in ICANN's Whois data bank.
Under the heading "Jeder Dreck hat seinen Preis" which translates to "Every piece of junk has its price" (in German, 'Preis' is a homonym meaning both 'price' and 'award') and the sub-line "The ugly truth about the Red Dot Design Award", the group called 'Design-Kommando' claims that it wants to demonstrate the randomness with which the Red Dot Design Award is given out and how this damages the credibility of the design field as a whole. The page shows examples of rather bland or even hideous stuff that, in fact, won (see the banner above for an example).
"Those who believe that good design is the decisive factor in awarding the Red Dot Award to products are wrong," they write. "In truth, only the money paid to Red Dot or Peter Zec, respectively, is what gets you an award."
Asked why they wanted to remain anonymous, Design-Kommando said: "Those who are reminded of characters from Mafia films by Peter Zec and his dubious methods of 'Kiezgrößen' [procurers at the top of the red-light district hierarchy] are not quite wrong. The ones courageous enough to take a stand against such unscrupulous figures must have their identity protected."
So much, so jaw-dropping, I thought. (I met Professor Zec once for coffee to discuss a possible co-operation, and he was quite charming.) I wondered whether advertising festivals and award schemes will feel the stiff wind of opposition to their modalities in quite this way.
That money is a huge factor in most awards, be it Cannes or Eurobest, has of course been obvious for quite some time. Agencies spend loads of it each year on fees for submitting work (not to speak of the budget spent on specially creating or tweaking campaigns that one hopes to win awards with).
You can calculate yourself, using the links below, how much agencies must cough up to have their work scrutinised and dismissed by an international jury in a process that in the majority of cases lasts less than a minute. Of course there are the books, annuals and reels that all the awards organisers use to fan the hopes of agencies of making their best work known to an international audience.
That these publications sometimes take several months to make the rounds is mentioned less often. But what made us incredulous here at Lürzer's Archive is that the Cannes people are now peddling access to their own 'Cannes Lions Online Archive' of commercials dating back to 1990 at €100 a day (€160 a week, and €2925 a year) – while a mere €139 will get you a year's access to our very own Online Archive, going back over 25 years and including six current issues of Lürzer's Archive magazine in which – very frequently – you can peruse the work that wins big at Cannes many months in advance.
Cannes Lions Fees (which range from €299 - €1,195)
Epica (entry fees are €200 per company plus €270 for each individual entry).
Eurobest: (Entry fee of €285.00 is applicable on each Film/Print entry).
Video: "Barbarella" (1968) trailer.
What do you think of the Red Dot Awards? Is the price to enter work at festivals too high? Join the discussion on our Facebook page.

Chinese firm hacks way to success at Microsoft Hackathon
By Sara Barker
Copywriter and Senior News Editor
Mon, 7th Aug 2017
Ping An Technology
China-based IT firm Ping An Technology was the only Chinese company to be invited to Microsoft's Hackathon in the US this year, but that didn't stop them from demonstrating what Chinese companies are capable of.
The company took part in Microsoft's Hackathon 2017, which is the world's largest hacking event. This year, more than 17,000 competitors from 84 countries participated in the event.
Microsoft also invited five external partners to the event, of which Ping An was one. A statement from the company says it was deeply honoured to be chosen.
Ping An employees and Microsoft employees formed a team that brainstormed new and innovative ideas, the company says.
"Innovation is not only about the concept, but about the ability at execution and the speed at which the execution task can be completed," comments Ng Jon Tzen, chief strategy and innovation officer at Ping An Technology.
Hackathon contestants had to work on front-end product definition, function configuration, image recognition and database settings. They were used to develop an AI-based nutrition assistant app in 48 hours.
The company was up against other inventions including an AI-based false news detection system, a smart mirror and a VR game.
"The innovation abilities among Chinese developers is well recognized in terms of scale. We are very honored and proud to have a chance to share our approach to innovation with our global colleagues and learn from them. We are looking forward to further cooperation with partners from all over the world," Ng Jon Tzen adds.
Ping An team members also visited Facebook and Google offices in Seattle to engage about innovation with local employees.
The company states that it focuses on hackathons, internal venture incubation, external partner cooperation and nurturing talent at universities and startups.

Rad Red began in 2012 when we (Leo and Brittany) decided to join our skills and create something we were both passionate about. A passion for storytelling and people! A year and a half into it we took a huge leap of faith and went full time. Now 6+ years later we are humble and excited to still be doing what we love most and be doing it together!
I, Brittany, was born in Virginia and raised in North Carolina. I went to HCC and UCF and studied Television Production and Film. I am a HUGE UNC fan, a chosen redhead, a makeup addict, and I have my own mommy blog called SweetDarln.
We were married in June 2013 and had our first little one in July 2018. Together we are travel nerds! One of our goals is to see all US National Parks before we die. On a Friday night you can probably expect us to be sitting on the sofa binging Netflix and eating takeout sushi.


Wake Forest Demon Deacons forward John Collins (20) dunks the ball during the first half against the North Carolina State Wolfpack at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Neither NC State nor Wake Forest have been especially great in ACC play this season. However, the Demon Deacons left no question who the better team was on Saturday with an 88-58 victory over the Wolfpack to complete the season sweep.The previous matchup at PNC Arena left a few question marks after a controversial call by referee Jamie Luckie halted a comeback attempt for NC State. On Saturday, Wake silenced any doubters behind monstrous showings by John Collins and Keyshawn Woods, who combined for 42 points.Collins recorded 20-plus points for his eighth straight game with 23 points on 9-for-13 shooting from the field. Though he ended his streak of three straight double-doubles with only seven rebounds, Collins certainly didn't need them with the score at 44-24 at the half.On the other side of the ball, Dennis Smith Jr. once again got his with 17 points and three assists, but also turned the ball over four times. The freshman bounced back from an eight-point showing against Florida State, but it was not nearly enough to put the Wolfpack in reaching distance against the Deacs.If there was one bright point for the Pack — there weren't many — it was Torin Dorn's performance. After not tallying double-digit points in the last five games since putting up 13 against Wake, Dorn tallied 14 points on Saturday, his highest total in ACC play.As for Wake, Bryant Crawford got nearly everything he wanted matched up with Smith on the afternoon. The sophomore point guard finished 6 for 8 from the field with 17 points, three rebounds and three assists. While Collins has rightfully garnered much of the attention for the Deacs, Crawford has averaged 16 points and 5.2 assists in conference play.Saturday was Wake's fifth straight game at 80 points or more and improved its scoring average to 85.6 points over the last nine games. Meanwhile, NC State allowed a team to score 80-plus points in its seventh straight game, bringing its average points allowed to 89.6 during that stretch.Not surprisingly, the Pack has gone 1-6 in those games. Its lone win? An 84-82 victory over Duke at Cameron. The high of that historic win has now been dampened by a five-game losing streak and three straight road routs at Louisville, Florida State and Wake by a combined total of 79 points.NC State returns home against North Carolina — which beat the Pack by 51 points in Chapel Hill — seeking its first home win since Jan. 17. Wake heads to Clemson, who is 3-8 in conference, looking to move to .500 in conference ahead of another showdown with Duke in Durham.

Q: Google fonts dropdown in Options Framework Is there a way to add a Google Fonts dropdown to the Options Framework panel (http://wptheming.com/options-framework-theme/)

A: Should be very easy since its has a hook right in place so something like,
add_filter('of_recognized_font_faces','add_google_fonts_list');

function add_google_fonts_list($defaults){
    //add as many as you want
    $mine = array(
        'Ubuntu' => "'Ubuntu', sans-serif",
        'Lobster' => "'Lobster', cursive",
    );
    return array_merge($mine,$defaults);
}

and when you render the css make sure to add the right import ex:
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu);

Q: In material-ui using react select how to move focus to next control by pressing tab only once? By default in material-ui react-select after selecting option by tab or enter user need press tab twice to move focus to next element.
Below is the link for the demo
https://codesandbox.io/s/8xy53m60m2
Steps to repro:

1. Press tab to select option by highlighting option using arrow keys (focus is not moved to next component, Focus should move to next component)

2. When option is selected, user needs to press tab twice to focus next component.
Expected:

1.After selecting option from tab focus move to next component

2.After selecting option from mouse, focus should move to next component after pressing tab button once.

A: This is how they designed to work,
There are two options to select dropdown elements onenter and ontab when you press the tab it selects that option it enters into input box (the focus is still in the select) and then to move to the next element you need to press the tab again.
Selection works that way only, for most of the packages.
If you want to disable tab selection behavior then is property called
tabSelectsValue

which is enabled by default, you can disable it
<Select
    classes={classes}
    styles={selectStyles}
    options={suggestions}
    components={components}
    value={this.state.single}
    tabSelectsValue={false}
    onChange={this.handleChange("single")}
    placeholder="Search a country (start with a)"
    isClearable
/>

it will move the focus to next element, but then you will have to use enter to select the option.
Demo
Here is the full list of proptypes

Q: How to find all the dependencies that have a peer dependency on a specific library? How do I find, within my project, all the dependencies that have a peer dependency on a specific library?
The use case is that I have to update the version of the library X, and I want to know which library peer-depends on X so that I know in advance what other libraries I have to check to be sure to not break the compatibility.
I'm thinking about something like yarn why <x>, but for peer dependencies.

Hearts have been ejected from the top flight after league reconstruction plans failed, however they, along with Partick Thistle, have lodged a joint petition to the Court of Session in Edinburgh in a bid to halt relegations – or claw in £10million in compensation combined should this fail to happen.
The Championship season is not expected to start until October, and fixtures will be announced at a later date as a result.

Susana Soares: Am I attractive?
Am i attractive? illustrates how certain body chemicals could attract or repel mosquitoes. The malaria parasite is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes bites. People can test to see if they smelled attractive to mosquitoes or not. Those that are not attractive are very useful to develop new strategies against malaria.
Dr. James Logan and his team are interested in body odour and exploring new research methods towards a more efficient, reliable way to reduce cases of malaria infection.

O Guanabara Rugby F. C. é um clube de Rugby Union localizado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil. Fundado em 5 de junho de 2005. É um clube associado à Confederação Brasileira de Rugby.

História

Antigo Guanabara
O Guanabara Rugby Football Clube, havia sido formado no final da década 70, por franceses que atuavam nas obras do metrô na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, o clube atuava com as cores da frança revolucionária, e participou ativamente do Campeonato Brasileiro de Rugby nos anos 80, infelizmente no final da década de 80 e no começo dos anos 90 o rugby no brasil esteve em um declínio muito forte e o time acabou fechando suas portas.

Guanabara Atual
Idealizado por seus fundadores como um meio de promover o progresso e o desenvolvimento do rugby na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, o Guanabara Rugby Football Clube nasceu com a determinação de atuar fundamentalmente como uma equipe disputante de jogos no formato tradicional do esporte o Rugby Union.
Marcelo Wallace Paiva conheceu o esporte através da Copa do Mundo de Rugby de 1995.

Devido a este interesse, desde o ano 2000 colaborava com um site dedicado à modalidade, e oferecia suas idéias sobre meios e maneiras de fazer o rugby crescer como esporte no Brasil. Inicialmente apoiado por sua esposa, Melissa Paiva,  foi buscar parceiros, assim conheceu Thiago Câmara, que já havia treinado em alguns clubes no Brasil, e que também se interessou com a proposta de criar um clube no Rio de Janeiro.

Então no dia fundado em 5 de junho de 2005 na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, nascia o Guanabara Rugby Football Clube. Mais tarde juntaram ao trio fundador Dennis Sieber e Rafael Gusman que se comprometeram com o idealismo em desenvolver a modalidade no seu formato tradicional.

Tendo conhecimento da existência de um time de rugby com o mesmo nome no passado, Marcelo Paiva entrou em contato com os antigos membros do clube, para verificar se haveria algum problema com a utilização do nome. Felizmente, entrando em contato com o Sr. Claudio Beff e Hélio, desconsideraram qualquer problema a respeito da liberação do nome, e no final incentivaram em favor da empreitada, tornando a união maior ainda dos antigos jogadores de rugby ao mais novo clube.

Titulos

Categoria Masculino Juvenil

Símbolos
Após algumas discussões sobre o nome da equipe, foi definido que o mais correto seria optar por algo diretamente ligado ao município do Rio de Janeiro, caracterizando uma das marcas tradicionais do rugby ao redor do mundo: o vínculo comunitário. Desta forma, a referência à Guanabara (tanto ao extinto estado quanto à baía do mesmo nome) foi escolhida, sendo o passo seguinte a definição das cores.

Estas foram retiradas de uma interpretação dos símbolos presentes no brasão do município, em aspectos históricos de maior relevância espiritual e no pavilhão da cidade.

Assim, o ouro é uma referência ao globo armilar, marca da saga lusitana dos descobrimentos, símbolo incontestável de bravura e inteligência, algo vital para o espírito de uma boa equipe de rugby. O carmesim é uma homenagem ao santo mártir e padroeiro da cidade: São Sebastião, sendo a cor uma alusão ao sangue derramado em sacrifício. Entenderam os fundadores, que é o espírito de doação e renúncia, aspectos fundamentais no forjar do caráter de um adepto do rugby, para além das partidas, como um compromisso moral, para com seus confrades de clube, para com sua família e comunidade.

O clube
Os treinos das categorias principais (Masculino, Feminino e Juvenil) ocorrem nos seguintes horários e locais:

On Science Friday, a weekly science program on NPR, they featured a video that demonstrated the polarization of light bouncing off of melting ice. Edward Aites, a videographer and a photographer specializing in time-lapse image capture, said he was looking for something to explore in his studio during the winter months and started playing around with ice. The results are mesmerizing." "Look at frozen water through cross-polarized light, and zoom in with a macro lens, and you'll find a colorful and intricate landscape.
The video is an interesting exploration of the nature of color. First lets talk a little about the definition of polarization. Polarization is essentially the orientation of a wave of light. The polarization changes as the light wave rotates in space. In the case of the camera, a polarizer is applied to the front of the lens which organizes all the light entering the camera in to a single angle of orientation. Confusing? Here is a great visual explanation from the WikiMedia commons.
As the light travels from one side of the polarizing plate to the other, in this case right to left, the plate reorients the light.
But what effect does polarization have on color? The primary effect of polarization in photographs is to reduce reflections and scattered light, giving images clearer richer color. For example the image below, also from WikiMedia, compares two images of vegetation with and with out a filter. On the left a rich verdant green is revealed when the polarizer is applied, where as on the right the greens appear muted and visually muddled together.
Another great example of the effects of interrupting a single wave of light and causing it to rotate is evident in the color of the sky. Normally when we look at or take pictures of the sky we capture lots of light that has bounced between molecules in the air, creating lots of hazy reflections we don't even notice. But when the polarizer is present, blue abounds and clouds pop out from the background.
Sometimes with color what we see is not all there is to know. The physics of light conceals fascinating treasures in the things we perceive everyday.


Welcome back for another season! We will follow the same procedure as previous seasons.
Everyone should send me their requests for the following week by Thursday night at 10:00PM. So for the week of Sunday, March 24th - Saturday March 30th, all requests should be submitted no later than Thursday, March 21st @ 10:00PM. Batting cage requests will be assigned the order in which they are received and will be done weekly.
LAST SCHEDULED TIME FOR RIGHT NOW IS 7:00 UNTIL IT STAYS LIGHT LATER.
Calendars are updated within 2 hours of a time being requested.
IF you have schedule change and will NOT be using the cages your scheduled time, please let me know so I can clear the time slot to make it available to someone else. Common courtesy.
Please do NOT just show up at the batting cages. Please send me a quick email and I will add you if it's open. My emails and the calendar are on my phone, so I respond fairly quickly.
I don't want phone calls or emails because anyone is fighting over cage space. If this happens, you will be asked to leave the cages. Most of us learned to share at a young age...most of us. Let's teach the players that as well.
All requests and questions should be sent to Mary Kramer at mmack.norwoodac@gmail.com to guarantee the request has been received. Batting cage times will be updated for the following week as they are received, but no later than Friday morning. This schedule is being done weekly. To be fair to everyone, do not send me a request for 2 weeks from now.

Crime in the city of Tashkent and Uzbekistan in general, while on the rise has not yet reached the levels experienced in many major western cities. Visitors are reminded to watch their handbags while touring crowded marketplaces or traveling on crowded buses or trams. Thieves have been known to cut handbags open with a razor blade and surreptitiously remove the contents. Visitors should also be alert for the ubiquitous "dropped money scam." One man will drop money on the ground and walk away. A second individual retrieves the cash and attempts to engage the intended victim in conversation, offering to split the proceeds. At this point the man who ostensibly lost the money returns, accuses the intended victim of theft, and demands redress, often at knifepoint. Several western women have been molested by intoxicated males while using public transportation and taxis, particularly at night. Western women are advised to dress conservatively, minimize the wearing of jewelry and attempt to travel in groups.
Visitors are still required to stay in hotels that are licensed by Uzbektourism and most hotels are run by them. The main hotels in Tashkent are the Hotel Uzbekistan (tel: (3712) 336 244), the Hotel Tashkent (tel: (3712) 332 735) and the Hotel Russia (tel: (3712) 562 874). In Bukhara, there is the Hotel Bukhara (tel: (36522) 35004) and the Hotel Zerafshan (tel: (36522) 34067). In Samarkand, the Hotel Samarkand (tel: (3662) 330 127) and the Hotel Zerafshan (tel: (3662) 333 372). All other regional capitals have at least one Uzbektourism hotel that will accept foreigners. Services and facilities are not up to Western standards and security is often haphazard, but efforts are being made to improve them.
Telephone IDD service is available, but calls from hotel rooms still need to be booked either from reception or from the floor attendant. The country code is 7 (3712 for Tashkent). International calls can also be made from main post offices (in Tashkent this is on Prospekt Navoi). Direct-dial calls within the CIS are obtained by dialling 8 and waiting for another dial tone and then dialling the city code. Calls within the city limits are free of charge. Fax services are available from major hotels for guests only. Post office hours: 0900-1800 Monday to Friday. There are a number of international courier services based in Tashkent, these include: DHL and UPS

During the summer and autumn, there is a wide variety of fruit: grapes, pomegranates, apricots ? which are also dried and sold at other times of the year ? and, dwarfing them all, mountains of honeydew and watermelons. Uzbeks pride themselves on the quality and variety of their bread. In general, hotel food shows a strong Russian influence.

Recent Disease Outbreaks
Hospital Database
Avoid dental treatment in Uzbekistan as the standards of care are low and hygiene cannot be guaranteed.
Medication Availability
Medication in short supply and even when available the quality cannot be guaranteed
Blood supplies
Blood supplies should be considered as unsafe
Medical care in Uzbekistan is below Western standards, with severe shortages of basic medical supplies, including disposable needles, anesthetics, and antibiotics. Elderly travelers and those with existing health problems may be at particular risk due to inadequate medical facilities.
General caution
Recent medical and dental exams should ensure that the traveler is in good health. Carry appropriate health and accident insurance documents and copies of any important medical records. Bring an adequate supply of all prescription and other medications as well as any necessary personal hygiene items, including a spare pair of eyeglasses or contact lenses if necessary. Drink only bottled beverages (including water) or beverages made with boiled water. Do not use ice cubes or eat raw seafood or rare meat. Eat well-cooked foods while they are still hot and fruits that can be peeled without contamination. Avoid roadside stands and street vendors. Only pasteurized dairy products should be consumed.
CDC reports a severe shortage of vaccines to combat diseases such as measles, polio, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis - along with increased incidence of those diseases. Diphtheria occurs. Cases predominantly occur in urban areas, but increasing numbers have been reported in rural areas. Shortages of vaccine, antibiotics and diphtheria antitoxin are contributing to the problem. While proof of diphtheria immunity is not required for travel, travelers to areas where diphtheria is occurring should be up-to-date for diphtheria immunization. AIDS occurs. Blood supply may not be adequately screened and/or single-use, disposable needles and syringes may be unavailable. When possible, travelers should defer medical treatment until reaching a facility where safety can be assured. Hikers should take protective measures against ticks.
Hepatitis A: Consider active immunization with hepatitis A vaccine or passive immunization with immune globulin (IG) for all susceptible travelers. Especially consider choosing active immunization for persons planning to reside for a long period or for persons who take frequent short-term trips to risk areas. The importance of protection against hepatitis A increases as length of stay increases. It is particularly important for persons who will be living in or visiting rural areas, eating or drinking in settings of poor or uncertain sanitation, or who will have close contact with local persons (especially young children) in settings with poor sanitary conditions. Hepatitis B: Vaccination is advised for health care workers, persons anticipating direct contact with blood from or sexual contact with inhabitants, and persons planning extended stays of 6 months or greater (especially those who anticipate using local health care facilities, staying in rural areas, or having intimate contact with the local population). Polio: A one-time booster dose is recommended for travelers who have previously completed a standard course of polio immunization. Refer to CDC guidelines for vaccinating unimmunized or incompletely immunized persons. Pregnancy is a relative contraindication to vaccination; however, if protection is needed, either IPV or OPV may be used, depending on preference and time available. Typhoid: Vaccination should be considered for persons staying longer than 3 weeks, adventurous eaters, and those who will venture off the usual tourist routes into small cities, villages and rural areas. Importance of vaccination increases as access to reasonable medical care becomes limited. Contraindications depend on vaccine type. Note: All routine vaccines (such as DTP or Td, Hib, MMR, polio, varicella, influenza and pneumococcal) should be kept up-to-date as a matter of good health practice unrelated to travel.
Disease risk summary
Insect-borne illness: Hemorrhagic fever (Crimean-Congo) - occurs Leishmaniasis (visceral) - prevalent Sandfly fever - prevalent Tick-borne relapsing fever - common Typhus - common Food-borne and water-borne illness: many are common throughout the area, in particular cholera and other watery diarrheas, the dysenteries, typhoid fever, viral hepatitis, and helminthic (parasitic worm) infections. Brucellosis - common Echinococcosis (hydatid disease) - common Other hazards: Diseases such as measles and diphtheria are commonly reported, and cases of polio still occur regularly. Influenza risk extends from November to April. Trachoma - common Rabies - occurs
AIDS: According to the Department of State, testing is required for anyone staying more than 15 days. Long-term visitors must renew HIV certificates after the first 3 months in Uzbekistan and annually thereafter. Foreign test results are accepted under certain conditions. Contact Uzbekistan's embassy for details.
No recent disease outbreaks

Press freedom is guaranteed and a constitutional ban on censorship exists, but these are frequently ignored in Uzbekistan, where the state maintains a tight grip on the media. International media rights bodies have reported that the use of violence against journalists and disinformation by the authorities are commonplace. Pre-publication self-censorship remains widespread. Following deadly unrest in Andijan in 2005, journalists were expelled from the area and foreign TV news broadcasts were blocked. Private TV and radio stations broadcast alongside state-run networks. Foreign channels operate via cable TV, which is widely available.
Press: There are no independent daily newspapers in Uzbekistan. The main editions are published in Tashkent and include Khalk Suzi and Narodnoye Slovo (in Russian and Uzbek), Hurriyat (published by a Government agency) and Uzbekistan Ovizi.
TV: Uzbek State Television and Radio Company operates two networks. Private channels include MTRK, Bekabad TV, Samarkand TV and Orbita TV.
Radio: The Uzbek State Television and Radio Company operates state-run radio services. Private stations include Oriat FM, Uzbegim Taronasi and Radio Grand.

On April 15th, 2013 the city of Boston and the nation were rocked when radical Islamics Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev exploded two bombs near the finish line of The Boston Marathon. Patriots Day was a gripping film that focused on the people affected by this heinous act, and the fervent police and FBI investigation in identifying and capturing these terrorists. Once again, Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg teamed up as they did 6 months ago in Deepwater Horizon, a dramatization of the worst oil spill in history. Patriots Day gave us a much more personal glimpse of a different kind of tragedy.
Patriots Days was a docu-drama that starred the fictitious composite character of Sgt. Tommy Saunders (Mark Wahlberg), who we immediately identified as a tough, Dirty Harry type cop. Saunders was just coming off of suspension, so this Police Sergeant was relegated to some donkey work of crowd control at the Marathon because of this suspension. He was on the front line when the explosions hit, and along with other first-responders had to deal with the grisly task of immediate attention to the maimed and killed, as well as trying to restore some sort of order amid the terrible carnage and chaos.
Mark Wahlberg was the star, with another fine performance that included one especially emotional scene. Kevin Bacon was the FBI Special Agent in charge of the investigation and his tense interaction with politicians and local law enforcement was quite convincing. The always dependable and venerable J.K. Simmons shined in his role as small-town Watertown Police Chief, especially in the confrontation with the terrorists. The great John Goodman was wasted (again) in his almost cameo role, and the only thing memorable about his part was the audience observation about how much weight he had lost. The other 3 standouts, Alex Wolfe, Themo Melikidze and Jimmy O. Yang will be discussed later in the review.
One thing Patriots Day did very well was the character development and near-impossible humanization of the two kids who perpetrated this bloody outrage. Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (Alex Wolfe and Themo Melikidze) were these sub-humans, and we never know exactly why they commited this crime, but we were given in-depth insight into their characters. Tamerlan was the big brother and leader of this tandem of terror and really looked the part. He was in a word, terrifying. Dzhokhar was more of a goofy college kid, playing video games and texting, but he was fiercely loyal to his brother's terrorist passions. Melissa Benoist, who played Tamerlan's wife was magnificent as she portrayed the very embodiment of the subservient Islamic wife who did not even flinch, even under intense interrogation.
Patriots Day gave us a glimpse of the Tsarnaev family, which included wife and child and scenes where they were nonchalantly sitting around watching TV news clips of the carnage that they had initiated. A lot of screen time was devoted to the two brothers and their emotional interaction with each other, and their victim Dun Meng (Jimmy O. Yang). The most tense and chilling scene was the carjacking, where some of the fury was revealed, not for ideology but simply because the younger Tsarnaev kid did not get to drive the Meng's Mercedes! This is where Patriots Day excelled, in portraying terrorists as more than just robots who strapped explosives to their bodies or fly planes into buildings. Dzhokhar was just an immature college kid that appeared to be more loyal to his brother than to any jihadist cause.
Patriots Day was a good movie, and movies that are restrained by the facts of actual events are always tougher to pull off. Patriots Day did have its faults, as it seemed overly long and tried to do too much within that 2 hr 13 minute run time. My main objection is that it spent a lot of time trying to develop and include individual victim's stories. The ending, which included clips of the actual victims just seemed unnecessary and forced, as I'm not a fan of movies tacking on stuff after the credits roll. These were just minor flaws, if flaws at all, and didn't really detract from this fine movie.
In spite of the couple of negatives, Patriots Day was an exciting and informative film that had to deal with a difficult subject matter. The carjacking scene that led to the ultimate explosive shoot-out in Watertown was an intense interaction between the good guys v. the bad. The investigative process in the warehouse with cooperative, yet sometimes divisive factions of law enforcement and politicians was tense, as everyone desperately wanted these terrorists captured before they could strike again. What the film demonstrated most of all was the spirit of cooperation of the Boston police and officials' and the fierce resiliency of the residents of this wounded city.

Lives behind the lens" by Calev Ben-David and Eldad Beck (The Jerusalem Report)
Israeli filmmaker Eyal Sivan, 26, has lived in Paris for the last five years in what he calls a "voluntary exile" from his homeland. Born in Haifa and raised in Jerusalem, he identifies with the extreme left of the Israeli political spectrum. In 1981, he was one of a group of 27 high school students who declared that they would refuse to do their army service; he avoided prison after being given a psychological deferment. Sivan went on to direct the television ads of the Jewish-Arab "Progressive List for Peace" party in the last Knesset election campaign.
He will be returning from his "exile" to present at the festival his second film, "Izkor: The Slaves of Memory." a documentary about both the Jewish collective memory of persecution and suffering, and how, in Sivan's perception, the Israeli establishment cultivates this through the educational system and exploits it for political purposes.
In April 1990, Sivan and his film crew followed five Israeli schoolchildren during a month full of commemorative days, including Passover, Memorial Day and Holocaust Remembrance Day, documenting how these events were presented to them and how they responded. Sivan tries to prove the existence of a linkage between what maverick Prof. Yeshayahu Leibowitz calls in the film "the slavery of memory" _how from early childhood Israelis are exposed to an educational system that mythifies the Jewish history of suffering_ and the way they later justify a certain type of behavior toward Palestinians.
"Izkor," says Sivan, "is not just an attack on the Israeli education system but on Zionism's ideological roots. I'm not against memory, but we can't just remember what the others did to us; we've also got to remember what we've done, and we're doing, to others." Sivan rejects accusations that he is anti-Israeli. Although married to a French woman, he hasn't applied for French citizenship. "I visit Israel three to four times a year, I make films about it. I want this country to continue existing because I love it, with all my criticism. I just make a distinction between Zionism and the State of Israel; I think Israel can exist without Zionism. And one day," he adds, "they'll say proudly that only Israeli democracy could have produced citizens like me - who spit in its face."


June marks the beginning of Summer! Excited doesn't even begin to describe my feelings. I feel like I was made to be a mother in the summer time. The warm weather and lack of schedule means I get to play and make memories with the people I love most. And we've already gotten a head start with baseball, trips to the park, popsicles, picnics, a little hiking, and even a camping trip. This picture was taken at the City of Rocks after a thunderstorm. My littlest was splashing in any and every puddle he could find while I was flipping out over the scenery. It was a beautiful evening. I'm looking forward to many more like it. Bring it, Summer!
Please continue through June's blog circle to check out what the talented Kalamazoo Lifestyle Photographer, Tara Fletcher, has to share!

Pandemic and the Plight of Prisoners
"It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones. " - Nelson Mandela
In India, prisoners are exposed to such living conditions that are alarming to human standards. Over the years the constant exposure to inhumane and unhygienic treatments have had serious health as well as psychological implications to the prisoners and the pandemic has just added a cherry on the top. It has busted out its real and grave implications over the life of the prisoners.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF INDIAN PRISONS
When a person is imprisoned he eventually loses his many of the fundamental rights, however, the right to life remains universal. The overcrowding of prisons and egregious oversight of the treatment meted out to the prisoners is not only unjust but also puts our society to shame. During this pandemic, more than 60-70,000 Indian prisoners have been released as an emergency response to Covid-19. But that figure makes little or no difference when in an actual capacity of 4,03,739 prisoners, 4,78,600 prisoners were reported with 118 percent occupancy rate and 18.54 percent overcrowding rate by the end of 2019. [i]
In such overcrowding and understaffed surroundings, how will one be able to maintain social distancing where they are kept in herds and worse, treated like one too? Some might come of the opinion that they are prisoners and that they deserve this kind of treatment, however, a gentle reminder not all in prisons are hard and cruel criminals. Around 3, 30,487 of total are under trial prisoners. And the total number also is composed of women and old convicts, some with serious health issues. However, proper treatment of prisoners is not subject to their vulnerability. At the end, they still have their right to life which is being infringed every day with increasing speed.
RIGHTS OF PRISONERS
The Right to Life under Article 21 is equally available to those who have been convicted of any offense. Even though, one is deprived of his other rights, he is still entitled to the rights guaranteed under Article 21. In the case of Sunil Batra v. Delhi Administration[ii], the petitioner who was sentenced to death on charges of murder and robbery was held in solitary confinement since the date of his conviction. The petitioner then filed a PIL against his conviction, it was held by the court that the conviction of a person for a crime does not reduce him to non-person who is vulnerable to a major punishment imposed by the jail authorities without observance of due procedural safeguards, and therefore such treatment is violative of Article 21.
In the case of Hussainara Khatoon v. State of Bihar, [iii], the Court adopted a dynamic and constructive role with regard to prison reforms. The Court decided that prisoners should receive free legal aid and fast hearings and the Court specifically stressed on the improvements required for the conditions of the prisons in India.
CATASTROPHIC REALITY
Before bringing up the disastrous reality of implications of covid -19 over the prisoners, we must also know that over-crowding and unhygienic surroundings is not only the struggle faced by the prisoners. They are just the ones leading the line. In the Central Prison in Palayamkottai, Tamil Nadu, prison officials for over a decade have been segregating prisoners according to their castes. Housing the Thevars, Nadars, and Dalits in different blocks in the prison complex. According to former inmates, despite warnings by senior prison officials, the wardens would refer to the prisoners by their caste identities.[iv]
The easy bail out system of rich class and struggle of the poor facing police brutality comes out as no shocker to us. Poor sanitations and water facilities as well as poor menstrual hygiene puts forward huge obstacles in the survival of women prisoners. Patriarchy in India is not only limited to outer society but follows them inside to the prisons as well, wherein multiple cases are reported of physical and sexual abuses on daily basis. Children of under trial women prisoners are kept with them to a certain age, but the question is – Do we really have proper nutrition and living facilities as well as a healthy mental living environment for them?
WHY IT SHOULD BE OUR CONCERN?
Around 1500 prisoners and staff have so far tested positive for Covid-19. On daily basis around thousands of people walk in and out of prisons. Even though due to pandemic, number of people were released, however, large number of people have also been confined for violating lockdown Rules. Therefore, this bail exception has not really made a considerable difference into the lives and conditions of the prisoners.
The overcrowding and lack of medical staff has worsened the things up. Along with jails being overcapacity at 118% occupancy, all of them feature visitors and lawyers entering the premises with high frequency. Many times prisons are not hygienic, owing to space constraints and other factors, like lack of provision of basic sanitation and healthcare. Given these, they have a high propensity of becoming centres of community outbreak, which exactly should be our concern. The growing speed of Covid-19 among prisoners will not only remain inside but hit the entire nation.
Even Maja Daruwala, special monitor for police and prison reform NHRC had mention that the State has a duty of care towards its prisoners. However, prisons across India do not have finances, equipment or adequate attention from state governments to ensure that inmates are adequately protected from the virus. Heightened infection in prisoners and staff translates into severe risk outside. [v]
CONCLUSION & SUGGESTIONS
In the landmark judgement of Hussainara Khatoon v. State of Bihar, Justice P.N. Bhagwati quoted Leeman Abbot, "the rich can enjoy law as a doubtful luxury" and observed that, "The poor in their contact with the legal system have always been on the wrong side of the law."
The condition and living standards of the prisoners have been deteriorating over the years. The rich in general do have the privilege of receiving either an easy escape or a better treatment. However, the law which is there to treat everyone equal often becomes unjust to the poor. Lack of medical staff and rapid growth in covid-19 cases inside prisons, is an alarm to the society to fix its prisons and protect the life and liberty of the prisoners. This outbreak will eventually affect each one of us. This time has also brought out the real living conditions of the prisoners for the world to see how humans are subjected to such egregious living conditions. We must understand what India needs right now is good implementation of its laws, there are so many good laws to protect the rights of prisoners however the problem is its bad implementation.
Human Rights are already on the verge of becoming a plague in India. It is the time where in the Government and people come together to fix the situation. Prisons should be treated as rehabilitation centre and not as a place which fills their life with agony and trauma. As a suggestive measure Firstly, In order to reform the conditions our foremost priority should be establishment of more prisons to avoid overcrowding. Secondly, it is observed that poverty stricken class is more prone to committing the crimes as they are often left with no options to make their ends meet and therefore, prisons should act as a reforming centre for them with proper vocational training so that they can restart their life once again rather than being stuck in the constant loop of traumatization.
At the end, we must understand that right to life of prisoners are equally important as right to life of any other citizen and its protection is a huge responsibility lying on all of us. As students of law and firm believer of human rights, we conclude in the words of Martin Luther King Jr. – "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

I can no longer be kind, dvds don't have a rewind...LMAO...neat idea to say the least.
Awww!! Lovely Hart is so naked!! We love her! Yay!!!
Yay Hart! The kindness project sounds like such a fantastic endeavor. I'm going to be traveling the U.S. in July so I'm not sure what my schedule is going to look like just yet.

We recruit volunteers across countries, cultures, and ages to join our programs. And we help Orthodox monks and nuns around the world as well as mission communities.
We travel to Orthodox monasteries, convents, and missions. These communities are in every imaginable climate and geography around the world.
We complete service projects. Sometimes that includes construction other times landscaping and at times helping the members of the community with their work like making bees wax candles or gardening.
In these communities the traditions of the church are kept, preserved, and practiced, lived. They translate ancient texts, produce works of art, and maintain an environment that is peaceful, natural, and quiet. Amidst the world's technologyand busy schedule, there are few places which allow for such settings of retreat and respit.

Volunteers Needed to Help Count the Homeless
May 13, 2005 –– The Department of Planning and Natural Resources needs volunteers to help get an accurate count of the territory's homeless people. The department plans to count on May 21.
"They're going to go where the homeless people are and ask questions. It's not going to be easy," Laurence Joshua, DPNR's director of capital development and planning, said Friday.
He said the volunteers will head out to areas where homeless people tend to live.
Joshua said the department has yet to decide on what time of day the count will be taken. He said that while nighttime is optimum, it's more risky. However, he said a police escort is being considered and the volunteers will travel in groups.
"Training will be provided," he said.
He said about 25 people each are needed on St. Thomas and St. Croix, with about a half dozen on St. John.
Joshua said the department must get an accurate count to comply with U.S. Housing and Urban Development grant guidelines.
The information will be used to develop a Continuum of Care system to get the homeless off the street into emergency housing before moving them into transitional housing and finally into permanent housing.
He said the department has developed the Methodist Outreach and Training Center on St. Thomas to deal homeless people. Efforts are underway to do the same on St. Croix.
Joshua said that the volunteers will ask questions that cover issues like length of time and cause of homelessness, where the homeless person normally eats and sleeps, and does the person know any other homeless people.
He said estimates put the amount of homeless people at under 2,000 for the entire territory.
To volunteer, call Yvette Christopher at 774-3320, extension 5175.

Pretty much forever ago I won a fun giveaway Tasha of A Little Sweetness hosted on her blog. The prize was this cutie dress kit available in her Etsy shop. You've seen me used this Leila and Ben pattern before, but I finally put it together with Tasha's fabric.
She included the instructions and design for this little embroidery patch that just makes the outfit complete.
I have several thing in the queue to blog about, but I had to squeeze this dress in since there is another giveaway involved. Head over to Tasha's blog ASAP because you have a few more hours to enter. Check out her amazing stockings while you are there. Tasha inspired me to try hand embroidery with her dress kit and now she is tempting me to try quilting. I certainly don't need another hobby though.
Finally, I'm throwing in a photo of my Valentine's mantel. I've never been a big fan of Valentine's day, but I'm trying to get in the spirit of all the holidays for Avery. The decorations are simple, but simple is all that is needed sometimes. You can print off your own banner with the printable alphabet bunting here. The wreath is from last year's yarn wreath tutorial.
This is too cute. I love this dress. Lucky lucky you.


From 1755 to 1763, Britain and France fought in the French and Indian War. During the autumn of 1758, Lake George was a focal point for this struggle. One type of warship used by both sides in this conflict was the bateau (French for boat).
Bateaux had flat bottoms, flaring sides and raked bows and sterns. They usually were propelled by oars and poles and steered by a stern sweep. Bateaux were typically 25 to 35 feet long. Built of pine planks with simple oak frames, bateaux could be produced rapidly and were widely employed in the eighteenth century for moving troops and supplies.
Whenever possible, Colonial armies moved via water to avoid marching through dangerous and roadless wilderness. As many as 900 bateaux were used against French-held Fort Carillon (later named Fort Ticonderoga) in the summer of 1758. Some 260 bateaux reportedly were sunk in Lake George in the autumn of 1758 to seal them under winter ice and prevent their capture or destruction by French forces.
Seven of eight bateaux at the preserve site are part of "The Sunken Fleet of 1758." The eighth bateau, the southernmost one, is a replica built by local school children and teachers. In 1997, the 23-foot replica bateau was sunk near the site to enhance the preserve visit for divers, to test Colonial sinking techniques, and to study the deterioration process of a wooden vessel in a freshwater environment.
The seven 1758 bateaux, sometimes referred to as the "Wiawaka Bateaux Cluster," are 25 to 36 feet long and 4 to 5 feet wide. Archaeological research by Bateaux Below, Inc. has documented design features and construction elements typical of mid-18th century bateaux. These warships lie roughly perpendicular to shore over a 450-foot long area, suggesting they were all scuttled at once. Only the bottom planks, the lower part of the ribs, some cleats and garboards remain. Stones, apparently used to help sink them, can be found on the bottom planks.
Additional historical research may reveal why these bateaux were not recovered. They were listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places in 1992. A historic marker about these shipwrecks was erected on shore. It overlooks the southernmost bateaux and is visible from the mooring buoy area.
See diving guidelines for using New York's Submerged Heritage Preserve sites.
This is an intermediate level dive and is open on a first come, first served basis. The fleet is located in 25-50 feet of water. Do not touch or damage the bateaux, which are fragile. Be courteous to neighbors. Do not approach or use any docks in the vicinity of the site.

Market numbers mean less than they used to. Numbers don't stand alone, and often they aren't even necessary. Hard numbers can be a complete waste of resources.
Plus a very small percentage of the 526 million businesses that have 20 to 99 employees.
On the other hand, validating these estimates with primary research would be difficult and expensive. It would require researching several randomized lists of business owners, or doing focus groups, or interviewing a few randomly selected sample business owners in the various categories. And how much more exact would it be than the educated guess? This kind of research is so sensitive to random lists, proper polling, and professional survey techniques that it's hard to believe the information value, for decision-guiding purposes, would be worth the cost.
Furthermore, when and if the marketing personnel attempt to find out how many of these various subsets of business owners are engaged in social media, they'll find radically different numbers from various surveys and blogs. One study that surveyed business owners by mail concluded fewer than 30% valued social media; another study conducted over social media concluded more than 60% value it. And when they cut the market based on owners who don't want to do it themselves, that's even harder. Whatever final number they get will be an educated guess at best.
When Have Presence describes its market to outsiders, what usually sticks is the vision of the overworked small business owner without enough time to do social media right. Most people who hear that description understand it. Transparent assumptions indicate that the potential market includes at least a million businesses, and quite possibly two or three million. That's clearly a good enough estimate to validate the market and guide strategic and tactical decisions. And whether that's actually a million businesses or more, it's an understandable niche.
Real business plans don't necessarily need purchased market research. Combining available research with transparent assumptions is usually the best practical guide for decisions. You can buy expensive research reports for some markets: generally high-growth markets of special interest to companies that can afford to buy expensive research reports. Even if you have budget for that, you don't have to spend so much money. Most of the best research is what you do yourself.
Do your homework. Search the web for good quotes. Blogs, websites, magazines, newspapers, books, and market research companies publish highlights and snippets with some key numbers from research reports. It's part of their normal business.


In the world of social selling/social media marketing – automating your posts is like asking your potential clients to speak to a robot instead of to a real live person aka YOU!
I was in a group of my peers this week (professional speakers) and they were astonished that I actually get business from social media. My secret – I engage with others. That means I comment on and share other people's posts.
WOW, what a secret, no MBA degree needed for that. Just maybe knowing how to sell would help a lot in understanding how social media works. I don't blast out pre-recorded posts on a regular basis and wait for others to comment, share and engage.
I actively search out groups and posts where I can share my knowledge and get recognized as an expert that way. It's by sharing others' expertise that you get acknowledged for being part of their insider group.
So forget the 'I agree' or 'So true' – ALWAYS add in some unique value in the form of a comment to show that you've actually thought about the issues at hand.
Stop the automated posts. Yes, you'll show up in people's feeds and look like you're active on social media. But they'll skip over it as it's part of the noise, not of any value. And in business, it's all about the value you bring to your customers.
And when was the last time you enjoyed talking to a robot – ie. that voice when you dial Big Company 1-800 and their options have changed so listen closely…….. see what I mean.

Шэ́рон Блинн (; 1972, Нью-Йорк, Нью-Йорк, США) — американская активистка по борьбе с раком,  и фотомодель. Она была отмечена за её деятельность для «Bald is Beautiful», в организации, основанной ею для программ по изучению рака яичников.

Биография

Ранние годы
Шэрон Блинн родилась в 1972 году в Нью-Йорке (штат Нью-Йорк, США). Она выросла в Майами и окончила Колумбийский университет, получив степень в области музыкальной этнографии. Она работала менеджером по маркетингу Verve Records с 1994 по 2000 год.

Активизм по борьбе с раком
В 2000 году ей был диагностирован рак яичников. После трёх лет постоянного лечения и борьбы, Шэрон победила рак в 2003 году. Вдохновленная своей жизнью и борьбой, Шэрон основала организацию, названную «Bald is Beautiful», в 2003 году. Главными целями возникновения являются искоренение существующих социальных представлений о красоте и женственности, а также программ профилактики рака яичников. С 2003 года Шэрон остаётся лысой, полагая, что это будет самым эффективным способом распространения девиза её организации.

С тех пор Шэрон неустанно работает как активист по борьбе с раком. В ноябре 2009 года она выступила в программе «Lo Que de Verdad Importa (What Really Matters)», представленной Мадридской организацией Ademas. Она была ведущей и интервьюиром фильма «Шёпот», документального фильма о раке яичников, который транслировался на PBS в сентябре 2010 года.

Награды и признание
За свою деятельность Шэрон была награждена премией Lilly Tartikoff / EIF Hope на гала-концерте National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship's 2010 Rays of Hope. В 2011 году она также получила награду Courage Award от Braveheart Women's Association. Lifetime почтило Шэрон, выбрав её одной из «замечательных женщин» в серии «Каждая женщина».

Кино и телевидение
Активизм Шэрон достиг широкого внимания со стороны СМИ. В результате, она была выбрана стать частью многих недель моды, телешоу и фильмов, среди которых:
  — «Обмани меня» / Lie to Me (специалист МРТ)
  — «Бесстыдники» / Shameless (лысая женщина)
  — «Следствие по телу» / Body of Proof (Синтия Маркс)
