It's Horror Thursday here on McGinlay's, as the studios have decided to release this week not one, but three horror movies. So let's start with 28 Days Later.
The British film industry is excellent at doing dramatic films even if they are based in another genre like horror. It must be something to do with the heavy theatrical background of the actors and script writers.
Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma in a London hospital to find the hospital deserted -- and the rest of London as well.
This film is excellent. The tone is set quite early on and our characters are developed really well. The overall need for survival that we instinctively have is well explored and the ruthless and realistic decisions our characters have to make allow the audience to feel a sense of reality in this situation. One of the other reviewers told me that there was originally a more gruesome ending to this film, but even with this one it's still awesome.
Unlike 28 Days Later, Undead is not a serious thriller -- it's proud to be a B-grade gorefest.
Now reviewers like Harry Knowles and Margaret and David loved this film but the only way I could describe my opinion is with a "eh". I love B grade zombie films, actually, I'm well known for watching really bad films just to see how bad they are. And apparently this was meant to be a tongue in cheek "homage" to these films. Quite frankly I didn't see it.
Don't get me wrong: the idea that a meteorite makes all the people in the small town of Berkeley suddenly become zombies, and only a few are left to save the world sounds like a great zombie film plot. But it just didn't live up to my expectation. The zombies looked good and it does have some really funny moments like, Marion, the town loony, who is prepared to fight the zombies with a three barrel shot gun and what seems to be an endless supply of guns is my favourite thing of this film but as I said it's really a film that makes you go "eh" when you leave it.
It feels really mean to say anything bad about a film like this.
The script is weak and the acting is sub-Neighbours, but the effects are very good for the budget.
I haven't seen many zombie films, so I can't compare, but I have seen some wacky, silly, amateurish movies and this is one of them. I enjoyed others more, though (most blaxploitation movies have better music. Is there a market for a zombie film with a lot of dirty funk in it?).
There were a few genuine laughs, some scenes were nicely done (the ending's pretty cool) and there were a lot of uniquely Australian jokes and character moments which I appreciated. However, it generally drags a bit, and it goes for an EVIL DEAD kind of cool but doesn't quite make it.
I think most of the kudos the film gets will be because it's great that the directors (the Spierigs, brothers) got the film made without government assistance and that they got it a no-foolin' cinema release. They deserve a lot of respect for that. They also deserve to be given ten million dollars and an excellent script. Hopefully somebody will pony up.
The other day Adam went to me, "When do you think they're going to make a horror film based in a Big Brother-type house?" Well, wait no longer my friends: My Little Eye finally answers that question.
So five young people apply to live in an isolated house together for six months whilst their every move is filmed by numerous cameras. Each has their reason for wanting to be there -- fame, money, adventure. The prize is $1 million but the rules are if one person leaves, everyone loses. But when suddenly the housemates are taunted to leave by letters about deaths in the family as well as skeletons from their closets it becomes a morality test of greed versus compassion.
I really liked the first hour or so of this film. It set up the characters, the isolation of where they are and the tension of not knowing when they are getting out. But the last thirty minutes of this 95 minute film are standard slasher action which really annoyed me. So maybe the next time they make one of these films they will leave in the other 30 minutes it needs.
28 DAYS LATER stars Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Christopher Eccleston, Megan Burns and Brendan Gleeson. It's rated MA and runs 113 minutes. It opens today.
UNDEAD stars Felicity Mason, Mungo McKay, Rob Jenkins, Lisa Cunningham, Emma Randall and Dirk Hunter. It's rated MA and runs 104 minutes. It also opens today.
MY LITTLE EYE stars Sean Cw Johnson, Jennifer Sky, Kris Lemche, Stephen O'Reilly, Laura Regan, Bradley Cooper and Nick Mennell. It's rated MA and runs 95 minutes. Would you believe it also opens today? What an age we live in.

Mr. Timothy Snow, BA, MS
Mr. Snow grew up in a pastor's home that encouraged service for Christ and saw the need for a solid, Christian education. His parents often sacrificed to see that each of their children was in a Christian school or that they were homeschooled with Christian curriculum. After earning a Bachelor's degree in history and a Master's degree in secondary education, he began teaching in Christian schools. In the past twenty years he has served as a Christian school teacher and principal, and God has allowed him to instruct students in history, grammar, literature, and Bible. Mr. Snow also enjoys reading and he is always in search of new books or stories to read. In Explorations in Literature, Mr. Snow desires to pass along his passion for a solid Christian education as well as his love of reading and understanding literature.

The field of mobile medical applications (apps), software that run on smartphones or other mobile communication devices, has grown incredibly in both the number of applications available and the nature of the medical application. In this article, we review types of mobile apps and the ones the U.S. FDA intends to regulate.
FDA does not intend to regulate these types of devices. Examples of such mobile apps are those that provide reference information (e.g., electronic versions of medical dictionaries), automate operations within a health care setting (e.g., generate reminders for scheduled medical appointments), or are generic aids (e.g., smart phone magnifying glass) without the intention of diagnosing, treating, or preventing a disease or condition. The ubiquitous fitness tracker that does not reference any disease or condition, but rather tracks activity would fall under this category.
FDA will exercise enforcement discretion on these apps and will not expect manufacturers to submit premarket review applications for these types of apps. These mobile apps may help users self-manage their disease without providing specific treatment suggestions, provide patients with tools to organize and track their health information, or simplify tasks for health care providers. Examples of these apps include apps that help patients with diagnosed psychiatric conditions maintain their behavioral coping skills; activity trackers; and alerts for users when they are near a pre-identified high-risk location.
A mobile app is a device when its intended use is for the diagnosis of disease or condition; or the cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease; or is intended to affect the structure or any function of the body. Examples include an app that turns a mobile device and accessory into an electronic stethoscope; an app that uses an attachment to the mobile platform to measure blood glucose levels; and an app that can control the settings of an infusion pump. Mobile medical apps are classified into Class I, II, or III and are subject to the associated controls established by the regulations.
FDA released a guidance document for Mobile Medical Applications (issued February 9, 2015) to help clarify the types of mobile apps, and the ones they intend to regulate. Do you need more guidance for your mobile medical app? Please contact us at (248) 987-4497 or info@emmainternational.com.

Krypton: Season One Ratings
While it's still associated with (and carries) science-fiction programming, Syfy also runs fantasy dramas and the like. Enter the new Krypton TV show. Is this superhero drama a good fit for the Syfy audience? Will Krypton be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
Based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Krypton is a Superman prequel from executive producers David S. Goyer and Cameron Welsh. The Syfy TV series stars Cameron Cuffe, Shaun Sipos, Blake Ritson, Georgina Campbell, Elliot Cowan, Ann Ogbomo, Rasmus Hardiker, Wallis Day, Aaron Pierre, and Ian McElhinney. Unfolding 200 years before the destruction of Superman's home planet, the story centers on Kal-El's grandfather, Seg-El (Cuffe). Seg is faced with the starkest of choices. He can either save Krypton, or allow its destruction, in order to protect the fate of his future grandson.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show's likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
What do you think? Do you like the Krypton TV series? Should this Syfy TV show be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

I love the show keep it
i truly hope they renew krypton it deserves a second season
Definitely renew!!!!! Krypton is a great show!!!
I hate getting interested in a show….only to see it cancelled.
Otis Glamore
Krypton is certainly worth renewing…the characters are the key and, for the most part, you care about what happens to them…rare for a sci-fi series
Rewcpw
I love this tv show. Hoping for a season 2
Game Thruz
Krypton is an awful, childish show. Whoever the director is has no idea how to add depth to a show, and the idea that it's the same style as GoT is a joke. None of the actors are bad actors, but the way it's directed makes it feel very, very childish. This is why the ratings are dropping. Supergirl isn't this childish, Smallville wasn't this childish, and Lois and Clark wasn't this childish. It feels like the demo they're aiming for is five year olds.

Krypton is a great show. I've never been a huge Superman fan, but I've enjoyed the drama, characters, and discovering Krypton. It's making a fan out of me. I hope it gets renewed.
Deah L Brumbaugh
great show but why does it air so late?
Alexandra Bartoli
Krypton has been cancelled. Well not publicly, but still. Just so you know.
I doubt it. Unless something drastic happens, it will probably get renewed. It has the highest ratings on the network.
Krypton is worse than all the collective progressive cucks on earth..
Krypton trailers promised big revelations re Krypton history. Here are my shocking predictions: Braniac shrinks the City of Kandor. Seg restores the name of EL. He overthrows the current regime. A new council is established. He marries or shacks up & has a son named Jor-El. He becomes a leader of the Science Guild. He predicts Krypton will explode. Council ignores him. Jor-El prepares rocket for Kal-El & sends him to earth as Krypton explodes. Kal-El is adopted by Kents & becomes Superman. An orange haired billionaire becomes President. Discovers Supes is 25%+- black. Declares Supes is an illegal alien… Read more »
Jane Aryes
Now that was funny. Except I couldn't figure out what orange haired person was a billionaire.
I don't know if you are kidding or not. But, if you are. It's Lex Luthor he is talking about. No, but seriously. It's Donald Trump if you haven't yet guessed.
Sue Ann
I like the show so far and will continue to watch.
K Bergeron
Honestly, we were not impressed with the pilot. Whose bright idea was it to have everyone speaking with a British accent? Nobody ever gave me the impression that everyone in Krypton spoke that way. The script was boring and banal. We found it derivative and not in a good way. Will watch one more episode before giving up, but overall, disappointed so far.
What's wrong with the British accent??? It makes more sense then say your REGULAR 'American' accent..What I had a problem with was the the 'Zod" family being African American and Segy-El was of 'Mixed' heritage..Doesn't LOOK right as the El family or Superman's grandfather..The rest of the El family certainly looks fine compared to Kal-El grandfather..That was my problem with the show, NOT the accent..The accent was a welcome, actually..Shows sophistication/knowledge etc..Yeah, it's cliche/superficial but it works..Krypton is supposedly VERY advance even compared to other Alien races so, an "American" accent just won't do..Sorry to say…The show was ok..Not great..The… Read more »
I would say look up Val-Zod from the comics. I like what they are doing with the Zod family. They have always been hinted as a family duty-bound.
I'm going to give it time to develop. Krypton world seems like Blade Runner with political intrigue. Plus who doesn't want to see something do Doomsday right and murder baby Doomsday over and over
Yes I agree! I really like The Zod family and the whole doomsday aspect is intriguing. It's like watching the last days of Pompeii. There's a clock slowly ticking.
Rex the Wonder Dog
Except this clock will take 200 years to go off.
I don't think the Zods are African-American as neither Africa nor the Americas exist on Krypton. Nothing says humanoids living under a red star have to have any particular color of skin as most likely skin pigmentation is a result of other factors instead of the UV rays of a yellow sun. I don't even think the actors playing the Zods are African-American. I think they are British.
british is a nationality, african american is what americans call the people of african decent living there. very different things.
Well, to clarify. Zods are white skinned people, yet played by black skinned actors/actresses. That's what all the commotion is about. I too, was blatantly mad about this. But, as the story went on and the characters developed. I actually like the Zod family and didn't mind the skin colours.
@Rex the Wonder Dog, We know that most Martians have black like features hence why they are 99% of the time played by black people. I would be pissed off if a white man played Martian Manhunter, unless he played a Martian that looked similar to a white man's feature, then that's fine. I would definitely be mad if a black man played Superman, unless he was from Earth two. Then, go wild.
This show thematically has a socio-political religious sub-plot so race and ethnicity are not major themes in this DC Comics Universe. I do understand that you want characters to resemble their origin for continuity sake.
Except in 1938 none of these characters would have every been depicted as anything other than European. That was the result of racism. There is no other way to fix that than to add characters who are not all European looking.
key word add. changing characters isnt the same.
This story was created in the hate filled racism of 1938 when strange fruit was a command occurrence in America. And yet they were supposed to be aliens living on a foreign planet thus none of them were supposed to be European or African or American, or even Earthlings for that matter. You're seeing "race" and want to keep the supremacy that racism created. But the only way to remove the strain of racism, is to redo characters that are not all one "race". Let's never use "the way it's always been" to continue the racist environment this story was… Read more »
Could this be just one part of the Zod family, with there being other non African-American looking Zods to keep in line with continuity, especially since the families could be really really big or the rankless could be elevated to their house? Just a thought.
klenker
KNEEL BEFORE ZOD.
Ahhh, yes ma'am… *flicks tongue*
I'm interested so far, hoping it is not cancelled. But since I do like it, and given every other show I've liked, it will be.
Cest la vie.
Rick bowyer
I don't think so. Dr strange specifically said that Zod is from his time and supermans enemy.
David Josef
Quite a lot of Krypton is filmed in Northern Ireland, Belfast – being part of Britain, British actors are on tap.
It is a good cast, believe me, apart from the odd one or two.
Krypton was neither full of accents from USA, I believe the inhabitants of Krypton cumminicated telepathically & you could not speak to a higher member of the Olaktorüc order without prior permission from the Governance of Tharg & the Thargator Development Commission of Kalgar.


So what's this about chemotherapy (and radiation)? What's this about using poisonous substances to masquerade as some sort of "therapy" or "treatment", to try to "cure" a very serious degenerative disease?
Chemotherapy and radiation are very much part of conventional medical protocols to "treat" cancer today. But they are hideous crimes against humanity, and, one day in the not too distant future, Humankind will look back on these Medical Dark Ages and wonder how such brutal and savage methods could *ever* have passed off as "treatment".
Yes, future generations will look back, and they will either cringe, or laugh, or both.
The following article is an excellent piece on the failings and even dangers of chemotherapy. Its title is worded as a question; I would have phrased it in a stronger tone: Don't EVER Trust Chemotherapy!
Let me sum up some points about this ridiculous "therapy".
* It's poison; it destroys healthy cells and makes one very sick.
* It sometimes is effective in shrinking tumors. But that's pointless, because cancer is not a "tumor disease"; cancer is a whole body disease. Shrinking tumors does not improve quality of life nor extend life.
* Chemotherapy PROMOTES the growth of cancer.
* Chemotherapy costs a bomb; it makes pharmaceutical companies hideously rich, while escalating healthcare costs and bankrupting the sick.
* And, you know what? Chemotherapy doesn't even work! It's "cure" rate for cancer is close to 0%. Yes… ZERO.
* There is much evidence to show that cancer patients are much better off doing nothing, as compared to undergoing chemotherapy. Yes… NOTHING.
When a therapy or treatment which is otherwise useful or effective produces some adverse effects 'on the side', these are called "side effects". With chemotherapy, the benefits are so negligible, that I don't even think its adverse effects should be called "side effects" at all; in fact, they are just that – adverse effects!
Why in the world would anyone submit their already stricken bodies to such savage bombardment? Because of a few things. Money, arrogance, ignorance, and fear.
It's the sad reality of the Cancer Industry today.
Former White House press secretary Tony Snow died in July 2008 at the age of 53, following a series of chemotherapy treatments for colon cancer. In 2005, Snow had his colon removed and underwent six months of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with colon cancer. Two years later (2007), Snow underwent surgery to remove a growth in his abdominal area, near the site of the original cancer. "This is a very treatable condition," said Dr. Allyson Ocean, a gastrointestinal oncologist at Weill Cornell Medical College. "Many patients, because of the therapies we have, are able to work and live full lives with quality while they're being treated. Anyone who looks at this as a death sentence is wrong." But of course we now know, Dr. Ocean was dead wrong.


I have finished the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga teaching course. It was just beautiful experiences for my life by studying it with connecting to my mind, body and soul. Yoga means "union" of body, mind and spirit. Through meditation practice you may feel the same inside of you. Performing asana you can get into inner yourself and observe your mind without judging anything.
Living in yoga brings you harmony, balance, peaceful mind, healthy body, and beautiful spirit.
Many thanks to ancient wisdom and everyone and everything around us.
And now my curiosity sets in, maybe I start learning also the 7 spiritual laws of yoga to achieve the pinnacle of wisdom in yoga.
Yes, please do so. It opens up for my yoga practice.

A. J. Ayer is known for writing "Language, Truth, and Logic." Lesser known is his sequel, "Language, Truth, and Being a Friggin' Badass."
Couldn't resist this anecdote from the biography of one of my favorite philosophers, logical positivist A. J. Ayer:
"Ayer was now standing near the entrance to the great white living-room of Sanchez's West 57th Street apartment, chatting to a group of young models and designers, when a woman rushed in saying that a friend was being assaulted in a bedroom. Ayer went to investigate and found Mike Tyson forcing himself on a young south London model called Naomi Campbell, then just beginning her career. Ayer warned Tyson to desist. Tyson: 'Do you know who the fuck I am? I'm the heavyweight champion of the world.' Ayer stood his ground: 'And I am the former Wykeham Professor of Logic. We are both pre-eminent in our field; I suggest that we talk about this like rational men.' Ayer and Tyson began to talk. Naomi Campbell slipped out."

davidad says:
It's a wonderful story, but I wonder if it's not what it seems. According to http://j.mp/ihR7n2, Campbell and Tyson were dating in 1989.
An interesting wrinkle, but I don't think it casts doubt on the story. It's not that unusual for a woman to date a guy who was violent with her.
Henrik Jonsson says:
Thanks for tipping me off to this biography, had no idea he had such an interesting life. Badass indeed – via wikipedia:
"It was at Eton that Ayer first became known for his characteristic bravado and precocity. […] He served as an officer in the Welsh Guards during World War II, working for the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and spying for MI6. He was an extrovert, social mixer and womaniser, and was married four times, including to Dee Wells and Vanessa Salmon (thus becoming stepfather to Nigella Lawson). […] He was also obsessed with sports: he had played rugby for Eton, and was a noted cricketer and a keen supporter of the Tottenham Hotspur football team."
Why is positivism called positivism, because you are positive of results after an experiment?

I add this M-1 to my collection a couple of years back it would appear to be in un-issued and or slightly used condition the helmet body was produced by McCord Radiator and Manufacturing Company of Detroit Michigan there are a few tells to help with dating the shell It is a fixed bail front seam these were only produced from 1941-1943...It is sporting the earlier shortened OD # 3 chinstrap that is not quite long enough to fit around the rear rim of the shell and a nice early raised brass buckle there are three small stress cracks which have not broken through and are only evident on the rear exterior of the shell the heat stamp is quite easy to read and it is marked 364 A as found on the inside rim so manufactured approximately November, December 1942...It has a nice minty War time issued CAPAC liner that is near a perfect match for size and condition it is sporting mid war green head band with blackened steel A washers the leather chinstrap is a late war variant with black painted hardware and is so marked United Carr on the buckle.
A nice clean example...just as I like them. I have a very similar shell but with a Hawley liner.
Thanx Ian it is the earliest production McCord that I have in my collection..

Q: How to temporarily disable OpenGL command queueing, for more accurate profiling results? In Mac OS X's OpenGL Profiler app, I can get statistics regarding how long each GL function call takes.  However, the results show that a ton of time is spent in flush commands (glFlush, glFlushRenderAPPLE, CGLFlushDrawable) and in glDrawElements, and every other GL function call's time is negligibly small.
I assume this is because OpenGL is enqueueing the commands I submit, and waiting until flushing or drawing to actually execute the commands.
I guess I could do something like this:
glFlush();
startTiming();
glDoSomething();
glFlush();
stopTimingAndRecordDelta();

...and insert that pattern around every GL function call my app makes, but that would be tedious since there are thousands of GL function calls throughout my app, and I'd have to tabulate the results manually (instead of using the already-existent OpenGL Profiler tool).
So, is there a way to disable all OpenGL command queueing, so I can get more accurate profiling results?

A:
So, is there a way to disable all OpenGL command queueing, ...

No, there isn't an OpenGL function that does that.

..., so I can get more accurate profiling results?

You can get more accurate information than you are currently, but you'll never get really precise answers (but you can probably get what you need).  While the results of OpenGL rendering are the "same" — OpenGL's not guaranteed to be pixel-accurate across implementations — they're supposed to be very close.  However, how the pixels are generated can vary drastically.  In particular, tiled-reneders (in mobile and embedded devices) usually don't render pixels during a draw call, but rather queue up the geometry, and generate the pixels at buffer swap.
That said, for profiling OpenGL, you want to use glFinish, instead of glFlush.  glFinish will force all pending OpenGL calls to complete and return; glFlush merely requests that commands be sent to the OpenGL "at some time in the future", so it's not deterministic.  Be sure to remove your glFinish in your "production" code, since it will really slow down your application.  From your example, if you replace the flushes with finishes in your example, you'll get more interesting information.

A: You are using OpenGL 3, and in particular discussing OS X. Mavericks (10.9) supports Timer Queries, which you can use to time a single GL operation or an entire sequence of operations at the pipeline level. That is, how long they take to execute when GL actually gets around to performing them, rather than timing how long a particular API call takes to return (which is often meaningless). You can only have a single timer query in the pipeline at a given time unfortunately, so you may have to structure your software cleverly to make best use of them if you want command-level granularity.
I use them in my own work to time individual stages of the graphics engine. Things like how long it takes to update shadow maps, build the G-Buffers, perform deferred / forward lighting, individual HDR post-processing effects, etc. It really helps identify bottlenecks if you structure the timer queries this way instead of focusing on individual commands.
For instance on some filtrate limited hardware shadow map generation is the biggest bottleneck, on other shader limited hardware, lighting is. You can even use the results to determine the optimal shadow map resolution or lighting quality to meet a target framerate for a particular host without requiring the user to set these parameters manually. If you simply timed how long the individual operations took you would never get the bigger picture, but if you time entire sequences of commands that actually do some major part of your rendering you get neatly packed information that can be a lot more useful than even the output from profilers.

Gap's plan for a comeback is largely centered a simple premise: It needs to make more desirable, fashionable clothes.
In a presentation for investors Tuesday, the retailer's top executives outlined their strategy for rescuing its struggling Gap and Banana Republic brands while continuing the strong momentum in its Old Navy chain. And while it's clear they plan to continue to plow ahead with digital innovation and international expansion in order to grow their business, the heart of the turnaround plan is fixing the clothes, which lately haven't proved especially enticing.
"Frankly, all the rest of it — global growth, digital, everything else that we're doing — doesn't matter if we aren't better and more consistent at the product we put in our stores," said Art Peck, the retailer's chief executive.
The company announced Monday that it will soon shutter 175 Gap stores in North America, or roughly 25 percent of that brand's regular-price fleet. Executives said Tuesday that many of the stores that will close are the ones in outdated regional malls — in other words, ones that likely detract from the brand's cachet and perhaps weren't particularly profitable.
While Gap still aims to cater to a fairly wide audience, executives said its target demographic will be men and women between age 25 and 35 who are slightly above-average spenders. This is perhaps a tacit concession that it may be too hard for the brand to win over the fickle teen shoppers who frequent Forever 21 and H&M and don't have fond memories of Gap's 1990s heyday.
Meanwhile, Banana Republic brand president Andi Owen said that it had been giving its customers whiplash: After years of churning out reliable but perhaps boring office attire, it brought in a new designer, Marissa Webb, and started incorporating a more casual point of view.
While Owen still thinks it's the right call for Banana to offer more versatile clothes, she says the brand has not executed it very well so far.
The customer is "having a really hard time outfitting," Owen said, meaning shoppers haven't found it easy to put together head-to-toe looks from Banana's offerings.
But it's not just the mish-mash of points of view that have created problems for the brand. The style and quality, Owen said, have continued to miss the mark.
"We lack color, we lack prints, we rely much too heavily on black and white. Our silhouettes…are oversized and boxy," Owen said.
The brand's mission this year will be to pull itself out of this style rut, with a particular focus on shining up their sweaters, pants, outerwear and suiting. They'll be trying to improve quality standards, too, by evaluating the stretch of the fabric of their pants and whether a sweater pills after multiple wears.
Peck also indicated that we'll likely see Gap brands pull back on the constant deluge of promotions that they've relied on in recent years to drum up sales.
"Value isn't 40 [percent] off every day, and we have been way too 40 [percent] off every day in many places in this company," Peck said.
Some other specialty apparel retailers, including Express and New York & Co., have also recently pulled back on these "30 percent off your purchase"-type offers in hope of retraining budget-conscious shoppers to buy things at full-price now that the recession is in the rearview mirror.
Peck said that it may take a while for the changes at Gap to be visible in the stores, since much of the merchandise hitting shelves this fall and holiday season were designed under a creative team that has since been replaced. Next spring will be the brand's "no-excuses moment," he said, when shoppers and investors should start clearly seeing improvement in the clothes.
Executives did not offer in-depth presentations on Gap's other two brands, Athleta and Intermix, but expressed optimism about their future. Peck has said previously that he believes Athleta, the retailer's play for the wildly popular "athleisure" trend, has shown strong growth and has potential to be a global brand.

We will mark students in prekindergarten through 11th grade tardy if they are not in their classrooms when the tardy bell rings at 8:00 a.m.
Students in 5th – 11th grades change classes throughout the day. We expect our middle and high school students to take care of restroom, locker, and social needs between classes and be seated and ready to go when the class tardy bell rings.
We do not permit students to bring non-prescription or prescription drugs to school. If your child requires medication during the school day, a parent or guardian must bring the medication to the school office and complete the Medicine Authorization form. We will administer medications according to a doctor or parent's written directions. We will administer medication in the school office for children in grades PK-11.
Typically, Grace Lutheran will close when schools in the Huntsville City system close due to ice and/or snow. We will notify you of closures through our Parents Alert system or via local media; there is no need to call the school or the teacher. In the event inclement weather conditions force us to close when school is in session, we will not allow the students to leave the building until a parent or a designated adult comes to the school to pick up the child. For the safety of our students and staff, please pick your child up as soon as possible.
In the event of a tornado watch, our school administration will notify the staff and closely monitor the weather service radio and local television broadcasts. Our staff and students will follow established emergency procedures requiring evacuation to protected areas in the centers of the buildings where we will remain until the national weather service officially lifts the warning. For the safety of all, we strongly urge parents to leave their children at school during these watches and warnings.
We follow a specific protocol with respect to our drop-off and pick-up procedures. Please refer to the Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures provided in the Parent Resources quick link category found on the Home page.
We have found that renting the Chromebooks to students is easier all around for parents, students, teachers, and our tech support. As such, we will not make exceptions to our rental policy. Our teachers instruct more effectively when all of our students and teachers work with the same model computer, and our tech department can more effectively support the school model. We have found that "out-of-program" laptops require an inordinate amount of time and effort to support; this often results in the student being without his/her laptop longer if needs a repair.


The DC villain character of Girder, aka Tony Woodward, is joining the cast of The CW's "The Flash".
In the comics Woodward was a bratty steelworker who was dunked in a vat of molten metal that had been tainted by S.T.A.R. Labs waste. He emerged as a mass of iron, impervious to most anything (except rust).
In the show, Woodward used to bully young Barry in the schoolyard, and is now can transmute any part of his body into solid steel. The role is said to be a recurring one and will be introduced in the sixth episode of the new season, but it hasn't been cast as yet.
Speaking of Flash villains, the first photos are out of "Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold, the iconic DC villain with a chilly edge. Miller isn't donning the signature costume in the photos but is sporting a new 'silver fox' look for his scenes which were being filmed in Vancouver.

Murky waters: A history of toxic chemicals in the fish-farming industry
Gwen Curry / The Times Colonist
A humpback whale feeding, from the book Converging Waters: The Beauty and Challenges of the Broughton Archipelago. DANIEL HILLERT
An excerpt from Converging Waters: The Beauty and Challenges of the Broughton Archipelago
When fish farms first appeared on the coast in the late 1970s, they seemed like an interesting idea. They could provide food, meet consumer demand, and perhaps alleviate the stress on wild stocks. Small-scale fish farms, mainly on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, began raising local species such as coho, chum, chinook, and trout.
There were few industry protocols, and these "ma-and-pa" operators had to rely on their own ingenuity. Some suffered years of frustration and others managed moderate success. However, the Sunshine Coast was becoming too warm for these concentrations of biomass; extensive losses occurred from algal blooms and disease, and the public was unhappy with the pollution these farms were causing. The provincial government imposed a moratorium in the mid-1980s, but after six months it was business as usual.
Fish farms migrated to the cooler waters of the Broughton Archipelago and the Discovery Islands, and Atlantic salmon and Norwegian owners became the new face of fish farms. To illustrate the changing industry, in 1989 there were 185 small fish farms in B.C. waters, owned by 100 companies. Today there are 120 fish farms in British Columbia, twenty of them in the Broughton area, and three Norwegian companies and one Japanese company own all of them.
In the 1990s, Norwegian companies arrived with turnkey methods to set up fish farms — the same models they had used in their own country, Chile, Ireland, and Scotland. The province invited residents, fishermen, and tourism operators to advise where fish farms should not be located due to currents, weather, and, most importantly, wild fish migration routes. Colour-coded dots were used in the inlets and channels, with red signifying an inappropriate location and yellow and green marking possible locations. A few months later, there were more fish farms in the red sites than in the yellow or green.
Alexandra Morton, a fish and whale researcher, and Bill Proctor, a long-time fisherman of the area, who had both been part of the process, were shocked and angered. Over thirty years later this disregard for obvious environmental degradation still impacts their lives, the local communities, and the lives of everyone who is concerned for wild salmon and the web of life centred on them.
DANIEL HILLERT
Atlantic salmon are conceived and raised in hatcheries and then, at the appropriate time, hosed into open-net pens in the ocean without adequate screening for viruses. Many don't survive even this initial journey and sink to the cage floor immediately. The salmon are densely packed into the net pens, moving among their own faeces, fish pellets, and chemicals that are regularly dumped into the pens to deter the prevalent bacteria and sea lice that these conditions give rise to. The efficiency of this system might be compared to dropping a bomb on one's front lawn in order to dig a fishpond.
"Many of the pesticides, insecticides and fungicides used by salmon farmers are derived from the Second World War's chemical weapons programs," writes Don Staniford in A Stain upon the Sea. These chemicals, used internationally, have poisoned the land via commercial agriculture, but were never intended to be dumped into the sea via aquaculture.
Tonnes of these deadly substances—canthaxanthin, dichlorvos, azamethiphos, cypermethrin, teflubenzuron, ivermectin, emamectin benzoate, DDT, chlordane, various PCBs, and dioxins (not to mention vaccines and antibiotics)—have been poured into the ocean every year in Scotland, Norway, Chile, and Canada since the 1980s.
One of these chemicals, canthaxanthin, a suspected carcinogen, is added to fish pellets to change farmed Atlantics' grey flesh into the orange hue of Pacific sockeye to make them more appetizing for the marketplace. Originally, canthaxanthin was the active ingredient in tanning pills until the discovery of a death (by aplastic anemia) due to its use, and the realization that it causes retinal damage in the human eye.
Hoffmann-La Roche, the maker of canthaxanthin, was forced to withdraw its tanning pills when these discoveries were made, but saw no problem selling it to the fish-farming industry to be ingested by unsuspecting consumers.
From 1982 to 2003 the use of canthaxanthin more than trebled, while industry, governments, and even the World Health Organization classified health concerns from its use as commercially confidential. In 2002 the European Scientific Commission on Animal Nutrition published a scathing report, prompting the European Commission to order Irish and Scottish salmon farmers to reduce canthaxanthin levels by three to four times. This order has no impact on Canadian fish farm conglomerates, except that they may not market these dyed fish in Europe.
Another of the chemicals, cypermethrin, is carcinogenic, a "gender bender," and a neurotoxin. It was brought into the industry after parasites began developing resistance to the carcinogenic organophosphates dichlorvos and azemethiphos. According to the U.K. government, cypermethrin is 100 times more toxic to some elements of the aquatic environment (read: lobsters, crabs, shrimp, oysters, etc.) than the original two chemicals.
Not only is the marine environment at peril, but so are the fish farm employees. Formerly, fish farm workers opened sacks of chemicals and walked the perimeters of the net pens to douse or "bathe" the salmon, usually without adequate protection for themselves as wind-borne chemicals would often blow back in their faces. In the case of cypermethrin, the workers would cease the application when the fish began head-wagging violently and swimming erratically.
The workers often suffered numbness in their hands and faces as an initial reaction. Years later there have been lawsuits filed against the fish farm conglomerates by employees suffering from multiple cancers, organ failures, and other mysterious ailments that have severely impacted their lives (and no doubt killed many).
Today there are chutes to deliver chemicals to the water, and other poisons are added to the fish pellets, but the toxic load to the ocean and its inhabitants remains the same. The properties of these chemical weapons of war have been known for many decades. Studies undertaken by DFO have taken twenty years to surface, and once the danger is acknowledged, dispensations have been given to fish farm companies to continue as before. It is difficult to report on current chemical use as most governments (including Canada's) have declared environmental risk assessments "out of bounds" because the findings are "too controversial."
These internal reports often use code names for environmentally toxic substances in case the documents are leaked.
Someone who has first-hand knowledge behind this veil of secrecy is Alexandra Morton, who has lived and worked in the Broughton Archipelago for over forty years. Morton's whale research was interrupted one day in June 2001 when a friend and fishing lodge owner near her home made a shocking discovery.
The pink salmon smolts that were travelling to sea were infested with sea lice, twenty to forty on each of their bodies, which were not even a thumb's length long. Such an infestation would mean a slow death for these juvenile salmon, and the fishing lodge owner knew it could also mean the death of his lodge. World-famous Irish and Scottish fishing lodges no longer exist after fish farms moved onto those coasts and spread disease to their once abundant wild salmon.

An early variety for eating from September. The handsome red flushed fruits are borne very abundantly and are crisp, sweet and very juicy with an excellent flavour. Suitable for planting in all areas, hardy and reliable. This variety continues to be planted on a small scale commercially, despite the fact that the fruits do not travel well. This is because the flavour is so very good that the fruits always find a market. Pollinate with Lord Lambourne, Idared, Sunrise etc.


2015 was the ten years anniversary for Mareano, and on that occasion the previous Norwegian book published in 2010 was revised to cover activities and results from the whole period and translated to English.
The title is "The Norwegian Sea Floor" and the content covers the sea floor from the border from Russia to the Storegga shelf break, and the rich fishing banks off the Møre coast (in mid Norway). It describes bathymetry, surface sediments, bottom communities and pollutants in these areas. This is a colourful book with lots of information that we hope will convey the fantastic ocean with its hidden landscape sitting just outside the coast of Norway.
Editors of the book are Lene Buhl-Mortensen, Hanne Hodnesdal and Terje Thorsnes.

Spooky Tooth fue una banda de rock británica formada en 1967, principalmente activa durante fines de los años 1960, y primera mitad de los 70.

Historia

La célula original de Spooky Tooth incluía al músico estadounidense afincado en Inglaterra Gary Wright (órgano y voz), quien se unió a cuatro músicos que venían trabajando como Art, y luego The V.I.P.s: Mike Kellie (batería), Luther Grosvenor (guitarra), Mike Harrison (voz) y Greg Ridley (bajo), formación que, ya como Spooky Tooth, lanza un LP debut en 1968 titulado It's All About (publicado simplemente como Spooky Tooth en EE.UU.)

Durante fines de los años 60 el grupo giró permanentemente por la escena de clubes inglesa, aunque su único éxito comercial les llegó de los Estados Unidos.
El estilo de Spooky Tooth combinaba el Rock psicodélico imperante, con sesgos de lo que a la postre sería conocido como Hard rock durante la década del 70, mientras que a fines de 1969 publican un disco en colaboración con el músico electrónico francés Pierre Henry, llamado Ceremony.

La banda sufrió cuantiosos cambios de personal a lo largo de su historia, la cual se nutre básicamente de su actividad durante los años 70, con Gary Wright como líder, editando siete álbumes entre 1968 y 1974, año en que el grupo se desarma, tras la publicación del LP The Mirror, con la participación del guitarrista Mick Jones, más tarde famoso con Foreigner, que fue miembro estable de Spooky Tooth entre 1972 y 1974.

Spooky Tooth se reagruparon a fines de los años 90, aunque sin Gary Wright, para grabar un álbum llamado Cross Purpose, publicado en 1999, la formación de este disco incluyó a Grosvenor, Kellie, Ridley y Harrison.
La banda se ha reunido varias veces a lo largo de los años 2000 para ofrecer conciertos ocasionales.

This section of the College Autism Network website presents two distinct sets of training-related resources.
Fast Fact #9 Mentoring can be more than academic.
Typical accommodations for students with autism in higher education focus on academic issues. But students with autism might also benefit from mentors focused on social and emotional needs. Such guidance would be especially important for students just beginning their college experience.
Fast Fact #8 Why don't accommodations always work?
Formal accommodations may not adequately support students' academic needs. One reason for this deficiency is that student accommodations are not always fulfilled by teachers, which can be very challenging for students.
[Event] INSAR2018 – Are Autistic Students More Stigmatized Than Other Types of Neurodiverse College Students?
We compared stigma towards college students with different disorders and examined factors that contribute to stigma towards autism in particular. Findings suggest that autism is less stigmatized on college campuses than disorders like psychopathy and schizophrenia which may be perceived as dangerous. Indeed, stigma towards the label "autism" was associated with perceived dangerousness. Stigma was consistently related to quality of prior contact with autism, suggesting that interventions which put autistic students into high quality contact with peers are powerful tools for stigma reduction.
Whenever we develop new training documents, host webinars, or offer presentations at professional conferences, we will post the associated materials as on this website (categorized as "can-training").
We're not the only ones working to improve the experiences and outcomes for autistic students in higher education. Therefore, we offer links to other people's training materials via posts categorized as "training-other" on this website).

After a week in London, I have (unexpectedly) fallen in love. It's not that my original expectations were low, they were just shallow. I wanted to have a good time– going out, relaxing, and soaking in the spoken english word before returning to life in Norway. Little did I know I'd find myself in a city seemingly perfect for me. This city oozes art. It's inspiring. Between the architecture, museums, parks, and monuments, there's something beautiful everywhere you look. Even the street art is noteworthy.
While I was there I tried to see as much art as possible. Some of my artivities included the: Tate Modern Museum, Tate Britain Museum, TOPSHOP Unique Fashion Show, Kashya Hildebrand Gallery, Art First Gallery, Bankside Gallery, The Photographer's Gallery (including the John Lyon Gallery, the Barbara Lloyd Gallery, the Wolfson Gallery, and the Eranda Studio,) and most exciting– The BFI Future Film Festival. This in an annual film festival packed with screenings, workshops, and masterclasses. It is hosted by the British Film Institute and is tailored toward young aspiring filmmakers.
Unfortunately I could only attend one day of the festival, but luckily it was the documentary day! I started the day by attending the workshop "Making Mini Docs (with your phone.)" Although it had more general film-making tips rather than phone-specific tips, it was still informative. I then saw a screening of the top 11 Future Film Short Documentaries of the year. The last session I attended was by far the coolest. "Soundcheque presents: Documentary Dynamics– Tips, tricks and techniques on how music can make your story unforgettable." The industry expert and composer, Julian Hamlin, spoke, unearthing a whole science of music that I had never examined. It was the highlight of my trip.
I met up with some familiar, (and some not-so-familiar) faces while here in London. I stayed with my cousin, Anjali, for part of the time. It was great to catch up and reminisce over our old band and her crazy elementary school ketchup-packet routine. I finally got to (officially) meet Elizabeth Gottwald (The Wandering Photographer) and Joey (Joey 'Supertramp')– two world travelers/ bloggers/ photographers that are a great inspiration to me. You should totally check them out– they do it right! I wish them the best of luck in their upcoming adventures! Speaking of finally meeting, I met up with Cameron, a london born, ex-stock-broker/ business owner/ rugby enthusiast who is attending CU Boulder next year! After you check out the previous two websites, head over to One For The Wall, where you can buy trendy, hand designed apparel and merchandise. Do it, it will automatically up your cool factor. And because this post is turning into me telling you what to do… use the promo code AU10 and like their Facebook Page for 10% off all orders. Okay, I promise I won't ask you to click anymore links. Last, BUT NOT LEAST, I got to see a friend, Meagan, while in London. It was amazing to see such a beautiful and familiar face. We talked (and talked, and talked,) about everything, but mainly about how Carly and Holly would be jealous the two of us were together.
So thanks to everyone I just mentioned– for making sure I knew where I was going, meeting me in parks, for coffee, or for drinks, sending me periodical messages making sure I was still alive, and giving me tips and tricks about London.
And lastly, check out my London video I put together! I took all of the footage before attending the documentary festival, but now that I have learned a bit more about filming, you can expect more videos from me in the future.
After the show, I began to explore each square foot of the Tate Modern museum. I spent hours there, and will probably end up going back another day.
I left Bergen, Norway this afternoon and began my travel to London. After going from a plane to the train I found myself at the Victoria station. I then boarded the tube and headed east to the Westminister stop, the closest to my hotel. After clearing the exit gates in the underground, I stuffed my ticket back into my pocket and turned the corner onto the street. The coolest part: I had no idea I was exiting at the literal face of Big Ben. To make things even better, it was exactly 7 o'clock and that big boy was singing (or dinging.) It got me so excited I whipped out my camera to take some shots.
I am now checked into my hotel and going to rest up for a big day tomorrow. May the adventure begin!

You, Me and the Apocalypse: 24 Hours to Go – And Now a Word From Our Sponsor (Review)
You Me and the Apocalypse is a black comedy. Up to this point the one-off series (in the UK at any rate) has focussed on the comedy with the darker elements either glossed over or tinged with humor. In 24 Hours to Go It is as though the show is taking a break from the humor and allowing a word from the sponsor; death.
Overall the episode was fairly grim with a look at how the world would react at the apocalypse. Jude's murder, obviously done by Father Christophe at the orders of the Cardinal, is called a suicide and the clergy cannot wait to put him in the ground at Rome. Celine takes the body back to Slough so Jude can be buried near his family.
Sutton learns of Jamie and Ariel blackmails his grandmother. Everyone begins the episode in celebration believing that the Saviour program worked. General Gaines shoots the president the moment they arrive at the Genesis bunker and allows the poppet the US leader brought in place of the first lady to escape.
Rhonda has been sentenced to death and amazingly, Leanne (Megan Mullally) is brought in and placed in the cell next to the librarian. The white supremacist provides the comedic highlight of this more somber episode as the guards have her cuffed up like Hannibal Lector. (She later wolfs down her last meal telling the guard that she is going to "poop like you've never seen" when she dies.)
General Gaines tells the world that Saviour failed and that he will die with them.
Celebrations turn to hysteria and panic, except in the Slough pub where Jude's wake is held. This is England and the group decide to have a knees-up to see out the end of the world. Celine goes along with this.
Later, after imbibing too many shots, Celine heads to the loo (restroom) to throw up. There she sees God (June Whitfield) who tells her that Jude is in heaven and that he says hello. God also reveals that she still needs Celine and that she is:
"part of my plan. Always have been and always will be."
Sidenote: It is fitting that June Whitfield was chosen to be God, the woman is an institution in England. June has been a household name since 1953, where she became known for working on radio. American audiences may not "get it" but this reviewer was excited to see the performer and (to be honest) June's portrayal brought a little tear.
Ariel kidnaps Jamie right after he meets Sutton (Diana Rigg) and gets the invite to her "family" bunker. The evil twin puts Jamie in his bank vault and then impersonates his good twin to take Layla and Frankie to the bunker and leave Jamie to die.
Jamie's mum (played so wonderfully by another English treasure Pauline Quirke) is completely fooled by Ariel, as is Dave (her new fiancee) and all three indulge in a group hug while Ariel cringes.
Spike shames Scotty and Gaines into rescuing Rhonda. Gaines bullies his way onto the military base where she is being held. The general provides another comic moment when he threatens to go Mount Vesuvius all over a prison guard:
"Is that what you want? You want me to erupt and spray my hold molten lava upon you? Is that what you really want? To be my Pompeii?"
(Easily the most sexual threat in the history of television.)
He succeeds in getting Scotty's sister out but she then demands the release of Leanne. The guard gets suspicious and pulls his gun, Scotty leaps in front of his spouse and is shot. Gaines kills the guard and Leanne gets out.
This leads to a running gun battle between the remaining military and the rescue team, which now has a wounded Scott, along with Rhonda and Leanne. Rhonda's friend is pretty formidable taking out soldiers while still cuffed and she is last seen disappearing around a corner in her Hannibal Lector chains.
Celine goes back to the church and is once more Sister Celine. She tells Jude that soon she will be with him.
You, Me and the Apocalypse has saved its darker moments for near the end. This penultimate episode was less about the laughs, although the black humor is still there, and more about bringing everyone together for the end.
Layla and Jamie
The death of Jude is still a shocker and so too is the possible death of Jamie in that bank vault. Although it appears that Jamie will survive and it is him doing the narration at the start of each episode.
We know that he makes it out of the vault because of his attire while watching the end of the world "on telly." Pink shorts and a blue vest (t-shirt) is what our narrator is wearing, the same clothes Jamie had on in the vault.
The last episode will show who made it to the bunker and who did not. There have been teasing little glimpses through out the series. We've seen Rhonda, Frankie and Gaines as well as Jamie, but there are still others who have not been seen.
You, Me and the Apocalypse suffered from a loss of viewers in the UK where it originally aired and one wonders it that was down to Jude Laws' character being killed off. It could well be that the the finale will carry on with the grim tone and lose most of its comic flavor which could well be the real reason the show was not brought back.
The season finale airs next Thursday on NBC.

Paul Rand (1914-1996) was a pioneer of American graphic design who arrived at his own distinctive visual language via the influence of European avant-garde movements like Cubism, Constructivism and De Stijl. As an art director, teacher, writer, and design consultant for leading companies (including ABC and UPS) he was a major force for designers, educators, and students worldwide. Much has been written about Rand, but most of it has been biographical work. Paul Rand: Modernist Designer features a wide range of critical inquiry into Rand's workseeking to place his contributions within the context of the artistic, design, architectural, and technological developments of the 20th century.

My final day of what has been a revelatory trip to Islay. The day got off to a relaxed start with a full continental breakfast (thank you James) and a quick clean up. I felt like such a freeloader that the least I could do was stack the dishwasher and clean the table! I reluctantly left Lagavulin Hall and it's occupants – they all made me feel so welcome, it was hugs all round. I did have a ferry to catch at the other end of the island, though. A quick drive to the Mull of Oa and a walk out (almost) to the American Monument and then off to Port Askaig for the ferry.
I had time so I took a detour to Bunnahabhain distillery- and I'm glad I did. Some of the best bits of driving road, gorgeous views and the distillery's location is just beautiful. The clouds lifted as I got there so I could finally see the famous Paps of Jura. I hadn't intended taking a tour as I didn't think I had time but David Wood – he who had hosted the 'Queen of the Moorlands' tasting – had spotted the car and came out. Turns out, David drives from Staffordshire to Scotland about once a week bringing and collecting stock and stays to do tours at Bunnahabhain to get experience he can use in the shop down south! The other four members of the tour were on the same ferry so it was a quick visit! Informative though. Bunnahabhain must be one of the most compact distilleries I've ever seen. It is big – they need to store 90 tonnes of barley to continue production in case the weather closes in for a week, they have the largest mill, grist hopper (35 tonnes) and mash tun on Islay – and yet everything seems to be placed to use the minimum amount of floor space. Another anorak point of interest: they use four lots of hot water in the mash instead of three to get the maximum amount of sugar from the grist.
A swift dram of Bunnahabhain 12yr and 18yrs then time to jump in the car and zoom over those fun roads to catch the ferry! While waiting to board, I met up with the ceilidh band from Tuesday night. We caught up in the coffee lounge of the ferry and compared notes of the past week. One or two looked a little fragile…it must have been a good few days for them! Once more proving that it is a very small world in whisky, the band called over another traveller to find we'd been to the same Ardbeg tasting on Wednesday. Maybe we'll bump into each other again as at least one of the band members, Dave Sinclair plays in Edinburgh from time to time (Whistlebinkies, I believe).
I have had some unforgettable experiences on this trip. I've met some interesting people, tasted incredible whiskies, visited beautiful places, hopefully made friends and been luckier than I surely deserve. I was warned that Islay would cast a spell on me. I certainly want to go back. What I've liked most about this trip though, is not so much the whisky (amazing as that has been) but what it does to people. Complete strangers chat like old friends, there is an openness about meeting, sharing a love (and gossip) about whisky that even age and language barriers cannot stop. Everywhere you go, you hear people talking about whisky; where they've been, where to go, who they have met, what to try. Such friendliness should really be bottled and used to help world peace!

If so, you need this book. It's written by David Rogers, who has won a number of awards for his effective and creative work.
He references ideas by other creative geographers too.
The book is published by Bloomsbury as part of their 100 Ideas series.
The book is arranged into 8 sections, based on consultation with teachers on social media.
It is available to purchase from Amazon and other sources.
As David says "great geography teachers change the world", but we all need some inspiration from time to time.

Foreign Relations of the United States, 1969–1976, Volume XXXI, Foreign Economic Policy, 1973–1976
113. Message From President Ford to French President Giscard 1
Washington, November 3, 1975, 0225Z.
WH52077. I should like to acknowledge your message of today concerning the forthcoming summit meeting.2 I regret that you continue to oppose Canadian participation, the more so because it is supported by all our other colleagues. I remain convinced that the summit as it has evolved through the joint efforts and as a common enterprise of all the parties involved should as a matter of political and economic logic and fairness include Canada. No other country or international body could possibly have a similar claim. I must tell you in all candor that while I have agreed to come to this meeting and genuinely look forward to our forthcoming deliberations, it is difficult for me, in the circumstances that have arisen, to contemplate future gatherings of this kind.

In an October 31 message to President Ford, President Giscard objected to Canadian participation on several grounds: the importance of keeping the summit "as informal and restricted as possible"; the possibility that allowing Canadian participation would lead other countries and international organizations to lobby for inclusion; and the fact that Canada, as an exporter of energy and raw materials, had not been as "profoundly affected by the recent economic crisis" as had the summit participants, all importers of energy and raw materials.

Sonata is a one-act play by Indian playwright Mahesh Elkunchwar about friendship between three women.

Plot
Sonata is about three single working women, living in Mumbai, a journalist, a teacher of Sanskrit and one employed in a big post in a multinational. They share a life of solidarity and freedom. Not only do they have an aura of sophistication but each of them is also successful at work.

The women aligned themselves with the Woman's movement but 30 years later abandon it and retreat for into their private world of reality and fantasy, opting for the conventional lifestyle of marriage and children.

Themes
The play explores loneliness in the lives of women. The three women - Manisha, Dolon and Subhadra represent women who irrespective of their origin, live a western life.

Background and tour
Sonata was written by Mahesh Elkunchwar in 2000. An English translation of the play premiered in 2001. It was directed and produced in English (rather than Marathi) by Amal Allana.

Adaptation
Sonata was adapted by Leesa Gazi to be performed as a bilingual play in Bangla and English. The setting of the play was changed from Mumbai to London and three Indian women transformed into three Bangladeshi women living the lives of Londoners. Mita Chowdhury, Leesa Gazi and Farhana Mithu play the three college friends who have settled in London. Friends since their college days, the characters are now middle-aged. A banker, a professor and a journalist by profession, the three are well-settled in their respective careers and are single by choice.

The play was directed by British director Mukul Ahmed and produced by Tara Arts in October 2008. This was the very first time a theatre performance contained all Bangladeshi actors for a mainstream theatre in London. It was also performed at TARA Studio and the Edinburgh Festival in 2008.

In January 2010, it was also staged at the British Council auditorium in Dhaka and co-produced by Tara Arts, the British Council and International Theatre Institute, Bangladesh.

In 2017, Aparna Sen adapted the play into a Bengali feature film of same name, starring Sen, Shabana Azmi, and Lillete Dubey.

I continue to have this on again, off again in this purple message and ability to get to the forum.
Today, I found that I had to use an old password to log into the forum, but not the current password for the MyRogers login in my account I use exclusively for the forum now.
Go figure - beyond my comprehension - I went three days with no issues, and tonight, I struggled around on three different browsers - Edge, Chrome, Firefox and got nowhere, then decided to use an old password from almost a year ago that failed at one point and we changed to a new one, and low and behold, it worked - old password working when it has been changed a year ago.
Got me, but I did get it in, but I never know what it is going to take in any predictable manner right now.
After going a week without issues, I just got the "Authentication Failed" purple screen just now. Quitting FF for a minute and restarting the browser again got me in.
Edit - In addition, when I was posting (see link below), I got a very brief message on the screen saying something like "This action could not be completed". The post posted just fine. Interestingly, the box that contained the message was the same purple/brown colour as the "Authentication Failed" notice.
This morning I signed into MyRogers to view my bill. When I was finished downloading the bill, before logging off, I clicked on "Community Forums" at the bottom of the page and again got the "Authentication Failed" purplish-brown page.
I usually recommend that people only login to one Rogers website (MyRogers, Forum, AnyPlace, etc) at a time because Rogers' websites seems to be more "flakey" than anything else I ever visit. Most other businesses, like a bank, would go out of business if it had a website that "failed" a customers this often.
It worked first try today.
Yesterday it was again impossible for me to log into the forums. I tried all the little tricks I could think of. Restarting the browser, logging into just one Rogers site, using my laptop or using my iPad. Nothing, except the Authentication Failed message.
Every attempt to access the Community Forums is an adventure.
I tried again later in the day and again ran into the message of doom.
Just now... first try. As this problem is dragging on and becoming more frequent, I do hope that someone is looking into a fix.
Happened to me again this morning. Quit/restarted browser and it's fine again. This is a pain.
This happened to me while I was trying to post regarding "manage PVR" being MIA this morning.
Signing in fine for me this morning, but quite slow. Checked my connection speed and it's normal.
Just tried to logon to Rogers using Internet Explorer and got a "This site is not secure" message. Followed by "This means someone is trying to fool you or steal any info you send to the server..." Apparently the website's security differs from the actual website.
I got "authentication failed" again this morning. I seem to be encountering it more and more lately. It probably happens to me roughly 30-50% of the time.
I'm using FireFox on my Mac Mini, but I've also encountered it on Safari on my MacBook Pro,, so it seems to be browser/computer-agnostic.
It did it again this afternoon when I tried to "reply to a post". I usually don't "sign-in", I usually sign in as part of the "reply" process.
Exit/relaunch the browser worked again. It's a pain though.
