SUBTITLING IN MORE THAN 120 LANGUAGES.
If instead of voice-over you prefer to use subtitles (localized captions that are synchronized with sound and appear on the screen at the bottom third of the frame), we will assign the task to translators with specific subtitling experience because advanced skills are needed to perfectly sync subtitles with the audio from the video. Localized text cannot exceed the length of text in the original language, which can also be a challenge for translators with less video experience.
create your subtitle project now
Most people enjoy the convenience of subtitled movies and television shows, but don't think about the work put into them. The industry of subtitling is an industry on its own, and it requires specific skills.
a new way to create content
We generate your content in different languages so that it is accessible to all your audience.
VOICE-OVER SERVICES FOR CORPORATE VIDEOS AND E-LEARNING.
If the original video source files have a separate voice-over track, Flix TransMedia media specialists can re-record the voiceover in the localized target language. The audio track in the source language is replaced by recording in the target language in the original video file.
On the other hand, our proven processes help to solve some common problems associated with voice-over. For example, we'll analyze the content first to prevent the localized script from being longer, and we'll group video recordings from the same language into a single dubbing session to simplify the process and save you time and money.
CORPORATE AND EDUCATIONAL VIDEO DUBBING.
In dubbing, another option for videos where people appear talking on screen, synchronizes the voice-over track with the movement of the speaker's lips. Flix TransMedia specialists employ a highly refined UN-style method for dubbing most of today's commercial applications. With this technique, the volume of the audio track in the source language is gradually lowered and a track is superimposed in the target language with a higher volume.
a new way to translate your content
Dubbing is the process of adding new dialogue or other sounds to the sound track of a motion picture that has already been shot. Dubbing is most familiar to audiences as a means of translating foreign-language films into the audience's language.
professional and reliable design services
Desktop publishing (DTP) is the creation of documents using page layout software on a personal (``desktop``) computer. It was first used almost exclusively for print publications, but now it also assists in the creation of various forms of online content.
EDITING VIDEOS AND DIGITAL ENGINEERING SERVICES.
The video can also include on-screen text, graphics with overlapping text, animated text, or text elements in animations. Depending on the complexity of the file, our multimedia experts can delete the original text or graphic elements, locate and recreate them to later replace them in the video file in the target language. Note: When creating videos that will then be localized, make sure that all text can be edited. This allows you to use the original editable files in the source language to streamline production and reduce costs.

Simon Gregson on reading up on the I'm A Celeb castle and the ghosts that might help him!
I'm A Celeb Simon Gregson reveals he owns a caravan in North Wales
By Suzanne Kendrick @Suzanne_RJ Coastal Chief Reporter
Simon Gregson. Picture: ITV
CORONATION Street star Simon Gregson is into the 'supernatural' and he admits he has done his reading up about Gwrych Castle.
The soap star, who is the latest to join the line-up of I'm A Celebrity....Get Me Out Of Here! will be entering the castle as a late arrival alongside Adam Woodyatt who is best known for playing Ian Beale in Eastenders.
Simon is best known for playing Steve McDonald in Coronation Street.
Before heading into the castle, Suzanne Kendrick, Coastal Chief Reporter, asked Simon if he believed Gwrych Castle, near Abergele, was haunted and if it would bother him.
Simon replied: "I don't think it would bother me. I did read up on the castle because I am interested in all things spooky.
"I believe there is a lady in white, I believe there is a gardener, a milkmaid and poltergeist butler who may come in handy. You never know."
Suzanne commented: "They may help."
While Simon agreed: "Exactly!"
In October, the actor appeared on Loose Women to talk about his belief in the supernatural.
He spoke about 'spooky encounters' at home which he believes is haunted.
He said that he, his wife Emma and their son Alfie, as well as friends, had all seen a "white lady" in the house.
Simon revealed he owned a caravan in Wales [on Anglesey], which he has had for many years.
He told journalists, during a round-table interview: "I love North Wales. We are pretty much here half the year anyway because we have got a caravan here.
"We are big fans of North Wales, made a lot of friends here.


Cobblestones' wood-fired oven lights up pizza in East Greenwich, and I have a history. I've written about wood-fired pizza places in sister magazines Providence Monthly and The Bay, and now we come to a new Rhode Island contender on Post Road in East Greenwich, Cobblestones Wood Fired Pizza. If you've read my other pizza reviews – and that's what they are more than anything else, reviews of the pizza – you'll find I'm pretty picky when it comes to artisanal pizza pie.
So that brings us to Cobblestones, a place I'd been wanting to try as soon as they opened up. I had heard about the Di Fiore oven they had imported from Italy and installed in this storefront across the street from Benny's. Then I read how the owner was the former owner of Olerio's, an Italian restaurant I'd been to many times as a kid growing up in Cranston. The background and commitment was clearly there, so how about the pizza?
First of all, I should mention that Cobblestones looks great. The exterior and the interior looks completely new with lots of wood and a fun design that kind of brings to mind being in an outdoor setting in Italy, even in late winter when I visited. When you walk in you can immediately see the wood burning oven in the kitchen behind the bar, that is if your eyes aren't drawn to the great light fixtures hanging over the stone-faced bar. They're made from inverted, galvanized olive buckets and I couldn't help glancing up at that often to figure out how to duplicate it for my own use.
But honestly, you can't help but be captivated by the huge wood-burning oven. Humans may all be drawn to fire by nature, and if you really want to watch the pizza making in action you need to take a seat at the bar. My family grabbed a table and wow did Cobblestones fill up quickly on the night we were there. It's not a very big place, but it felt very comfortable and it seemed like the East Greenwich neighborhood had already embraced the restaurant.
The first very pleasant surprise when we sat down: Yacht Club soda! I find that Rhode Island's own almost 100-year-old soda company isn't served in nearly as many restaurants as it should be and it was great to hear. No Coke or Pepsi at Cobblestones. In fact, Cobblestones uses a bunch of local producers such as Narragansett Creamery, Daniele and more. It makes sense that of the dozens of cuisines served in Rhode Island, great Italian food ingredients are available locally and it's nice to see a place taking advantage of that.
The next thing that I loved seeing was a card on the table that essentially laid out the rules for the pizza you were about to eat. It listed what kind of wood, the temperatures of the deck and dome, the flour and tomatoes used and why your pie might be charred (it should be!). It was a great little primer on the style of pizza that Cobblestones made and nicely set the tone with good answers to common questions.
Onto the food, specifically the pizza, which doesn't need to be specified because Cobblestones' menu only consists of pizzas. There is a salad that comes with slices of essentially an oiled pizza crust with no toppings, and an Antipasto, but we skipped those and went straight for four pies: Margherita, Pepperoni, Bianco and Soppressata. In a word: wonderful. Visually all four pizzas looked different and yet clearly were made with the same care in preparation and handling. The dough was well structured, chewy but with good crispness, and the toppings were all very tasty.
My favorite, if I was made to pick one, was the Margherita ($13), which is pretty much a benchmark pizza, so high marks to Cobblestones for getting it so good. Yes, the center of the pie was heavy from a pool of tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and good olive oil, but the dough was cooked all the way through and the toppings didn't overwhelm the taste. It was an excellent Margherita. The Pepperoni ($11) pizza was very typical and very fulfilling. The Bianco ($14.50) was also a highlight, showing how good toppings can be. The Soppresata ($14.95) was meaty and a touch on the sweet side with the caramelized onions.
Cobblestones is a great addition to Rhode Island's too few, proper, woodfired pizzerias. It's nice to see it in East Greenwich too. I would gladly go back for that Margherita again and again.


The Market Awards cover a broad swath of territory—software and services, sales and marketing, information and analytics—and represent the culmination of months of research and dozens of interviews, but these 10 categories are hardly a complete set. The point of the awards is to spotlight excellence, and to acknowledge strengths in the field. The vendors named on the facing page may have one specialty or several—but the right vendor for your needs may not appear on the list at all. Think of this as just one tool in your own assessment.

Behind the Scenes with a Donor: Frontline Insurance Blog Interviews
Editor's Note: This post kicks off our semi-regular feature: Behind the Scenes, where we give you an inside look at Step Up For Students. We hope you enjoy it!
By Ashley Foster, Guest Blogger
Flash back to September 2014.
At Step Up For Students, we are involved in a lot more than processing scholarships. As many of you know, the income-based (or Florida Tax Credit Scholarships) are funded by corporations whose leaders believe in our mission to help families choose the best learning environment for their children. One donor company was so interested in Step Up, their marketing team wanted to interview some families.
Frontline Insurance, a new donor to Step Up and an insurance company based in Lake Mary, arranged to meet families face-to-face and hear their stories in their own words about benefiting from the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship through Step Up For Students. So in September, the Frontline marketing team, accompanied by one of our Step Up employees and two professional photographers, arrived at the Tobar family's home in Apopka to learn about their experience with the scholarship program.
Before we started the interview, Mario, then a high school senior, showed us his football awards and talked about his favorite players as his mom, standing in the kitchen, smiled with pride. Once we got started, Kiara Sanchez-Mora and Kristin Hunkiar, members of Frontline Insurance's marketing team, sat on the living room sofa with a laptop and asked Mario, his little sister Gabby and their parents, Kenia Palacios and Victor Tobar, about Step Up and why it was a good fit for the family.
Kenia explained, with tears in her eyes, how thankful she was Mario had the chance to experience such a dramatic turn-around at his Orlando high school, Bishop Moore Catholic High School, and how proud she was of Gabby who attends Saint Charles Borromeo Catholic School, adjacent to Mario's high school. Both use Step Up's income-based scholarships to attend the schools of their choice.
From left to right: Victor Tobar, Gabby and Mario Tobar, and their mother, Kenia Palacios.
Once the interview was over, the Tobar family stood at their kitchen counter while the photographers adjusted the lighting on their flash, checked their computer monitors and snapped away. As we were saying our goodbyes, Kiara and Kristen made friends with the Tobars' then-puppy, named Tebow, who had been patiently waiting in his crate.
It's all in a day's work, and we couldn't do it without our awesome families who share their inspiring stories, and our donors who make the whole program possible.
In less than a couple of weeks, Mario is on his way to the University of West Florida in Pensacola where he will study engineering and play football. He has been working two jobs on the weekends to save a little bit of money to take with him.
You can read Frontline's story here, along with the story of another amazing Step Up family in Ormond Beach, whose children have also benefited from Step Up For Students scholarships. Also, reach Step Up's story about Mario here and about Faith Manuel and her eldest child, Davion Manuel-McKenney of Ormond Beach here.
Ashley Foster is Step Up's former Marketing Manager, who recently moved with her husband, Gary, to North Carolina for his job. They live in Raleigh with their new puppy Lady Mae. Ashley currently teaches yoga at a local studio and is searching for the next step in her marketing career.

Dubai's Creative Chill
This column first appeared in the March issue of Bold Magazine
THE ARRESTS OF SHEZANNE CASSIM AND DOZENS OF OTHERS OVER INNOCUOUS SOCIAL MEDIA INTERACTIONS – SOME SATIRICAL, SOME EXPLICITLY CRITICAL – CREATE A CHILLING EFFECT ACROSS DUBAI'S CREATIVE INDUSTRIES, EVEN AS THE EMIRATE TRIES TO SELL ITSELF AS A CENTER FOR THE ARTS. SUCH INTOLERANCE THREATENS THE CITY-STATE'S LONG-TERM STABILITY
By Habib Battah
hezanne Cassim is a name the rulers of Dubai would probably like to forget. For months, the 29-year-old American was held in a remote maximum security prison, one reserved for threats to national security. CNN correspondent Sarah Sidner drove past the desert facility, after government officials had refused to talk to her. Local and regional media largely ignored the case, so it was surprising that CNN Abu Dhabi, which frequently offers complimentary coverage of the monarchy, would cover the story. In fact, the only Emirati that spoke to the network went to jail shortly after Sidner's piece was aired.
Even Cassim, a Sri-Lankan American who grew up in Dubai and worked as a consultant for PriceWaterhouseCoopers, was not aware of the charges against him until five months after he was incarcerated by UAE police. Finally, after nearly nine months in jail, he was convicted earlier this year for "defaming the UAE." The offense was a 20-minute YouTube spoof film he had made that playfully mocked Emirati street fighting culture. In one skit, locals use their agala, the black rope that fastens a headdress in its place, as a weapon. (This was actually not far from the truth as last year an Emirati was filmed beating a migrant worker mercilessly with his agala on the side of the highway. The man who shot the humiliating episode on his phone and uploaded to YouTube was also jailed.)
But Cassim was more fortunate than the scores of human rights activists languishing in UAE prisons over their social media interactions. His family in the US mounted a social media campaign, with hashtag #FreeShez, and enlisted the help of US lawmakers, attorneys and government officials. Major Hollywood actors also came to Cassim's defense, including Will Ferrell, who created a video demanding his release with the cast of US television show "Funny or Die." Sure enough, two weeks later, and despite his recent conviction, Cassim was released for time already served. Amusingly the UAE judge ordered that copies of the film be "confiscated," perhaps not realizing the existence of YouTube or that trial publicity helped garner the spoof film over half a million views.
In an interview with the BBC, UAE prime minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum called the incident a "mistake," adding: "We are not perfect and we try to change it… we are doing our best." But Maktoum stopped short of apologizing for taking away nine months of Cassim's life or for jailing or sentencing seven others that worked on the film, including Europeans and North Americans who were convicted in absentia. Little is also known about the fate of Emirati activist Obaid Al-Zaabi, who appeared in the CNN report, or the 22-year-old unnamed Indian who shot the cell phone video that may have helped inspire Cassim's spoof.
Equally disturbing about the affair is the chilling effects it will have on creativity in the UAE, which is trying to sell itself as a center for the arts with its star-studded film festivals, production cities and bids to open branches of New York University and the Louvre museum.
Writing in The Guardian after his release, Cassim questioned why Dubai authorities had not sued the producers of major Hollywood movies such as George Clooney's "Syriana" or Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible," which were shot in Dubai (presumably with lots of local help) and yet portrayed Gulf states as a "politically corrupt breeding ground for Islamic terrorism."
"The authorities supported and feted those movies, even though they portray the country as a paradise for international criminals, but I was imprisoned, deported and banned from returning to the UAE for a novice comedy-sketch…" Cassim wrote.
On Facebook, I asked several Lebanese friends and colleagues working in Dubai about the case while Cassim was still in prison and astonishingly, many of them defended the government ruling.
One friend, a creative writer for a major ad agency, put it bluntly: "Most people (expats and locals) living here don't need to question the royal families … because at the end of the day, they are provided with a good lifestyle."
Another colleague, a marketing manager for large brands, suggested a more troubling view:
"I do support such rulings… No one forced people to come to the UAE. They want to come, let them respect the laws of the country…. A nation is protected when it has clear laws, regardless of what they are." He added: "Those living abroad prefer to focus on more important things relating to their work and lives than spend it criticizing a nation that is putting food on their table every single day…"
But how could punitive limits on creative expression be divorced from "daily lives," particularly when you work in a creative industry? Perhaps my friends fear they will wind up like over 100 Emirati human rights lawyers and activists that have been jailed, many for the interactions on social media, according to the Emirates Center for Human Rights. But have they even heard of those prisoners? How many local or Arab media outlets have publicized their cases?
The UAE is not alone. The region's prisons are full of filmmakers, activists bloggers and journalists. In Egypt for example, three Al Jazeera journalists have been in jail since last year simply because their coverage was seen as sympathetic to the opposition. The trial has probably received more attention from the foreign press than regional outlets, which it may affect most. And before we rush to label this as an "Arab phenomenon," let's not forget that a US congressman threatened to throw a reporter off the balcony and cut him "in half," in a conversation that was caught on tape earlier this year. Astonishingly, the reporter accepted the politician's apology. Was he worried about rocking the boat? And what if that conversation was not caught on tape? How many threats or intimidation tactics do journalists face on a daily basis that are not accidentally recorded? How often do they self-censor themselves, preemptively?
Our conditioned acceptance of intimidation is the lasting consequence of harassment. Cassim may be free now but how many will dare satire Dubai in the future? Yes there may be plenty of jobs today, but what about when the oil wealth runs dry? How will the UAE build a media industry to compete with global players if it cannot laugh at itself or produce humor, the basis of the entertainment industry?
Dubai has recently won hosting rights to the Expo 2020 international exhibition. Its leaders speak constantly about aspirations to create a city of the future, launching a dizzying array of "world-class" initiatives in education, health care, green energy, architecture, finance, even space exploration. But what about when those leaders are gone? What future is there without public participation, through public institutions? And what institutions can be built without accountability or transparency? As it stands today, will anyone dare question how the courts work or how public money is spent?
The chilling effect, the willingness to stay silent without being asked, is a serious long-term danger, not just for business. Have a look around the region and it's painfully clear that bottling up dissent does not bode well for long-term stability, which is what is needed to put food on the table.

I grew up in and have almost always lived in places that are self-consciously distinct and the home to people who know that their lives are not "typical" in at least a couple of important ways. I normalized the distinctness of locale, so I was shocked the first time I heard someone say that their home community was "just like any other place" and, to be honest, I didn't even know what that meant (not enough car trips, big box establishments, and television as a child, I guess). Still shocks me a bit when I see it in writing – the possibility that a collusion of media images, school curricula, economic and cultural segregation, selective travel, and inattention to national and global affairs results in a reality that is constructed in such a way as to give people the impression that everyone else's lives are just like their own.

My mood was sour and I was feeling unsettled. When I reached the checkout line, I received a kind smile from the cashier, who inquired about my weekend. I told him I had a mountain of assignments to finish and he sympathized, saying he was in a similar situation.
I went on with my day thinking about my conversation with the cashier. Our chat wasn't one of significant depth, but it certainly turned my mood around.
Shortly after my encounter with the cashier, I saw how I had mistakenly chosen the darkness instead of the light that day.
At the start of Advent, I had a plan. My plan was to revamp my prayer life, to connect with God on a deeper level and to seek out the light of Christ in my daily life. But at that moment, I felt as though I was unsuccessful in epic proportions.
Within a day or two into Advent, I found myself overwhelmed with school, ministry, work and more. I felt like I had failed. That instance of impatience in the grocery store was more than just a one-time episode. It epitomized the lack of light I had been experiencing for the bulk of Advent.
I felt as though everyone else had their lives put together, while I have sometimes felt as though I have been hanging on by a thread.
This Advent has not been one of grandeur or of an externally beautiful, spiritual life. Most days, I have found myself in survival mode.
But as I drag my feet along, trudging my way to Christmas, I can see a light.
While I can't see where the road leads, I do see light in front of me, guiding me along as I walk the path of God's will.
While it seems to me that I have utterly failed at Advent, a small voice inside me says that this is not the case. After all, how is it possible to fail at something one is not responsible for achieving? It is God alone who brings light, but it's up to me to choose it.
For now, He is bringing me towards the manger. I can see the newborn child, waiting for me to hold Him close. In the silence of my heart, I thank God for His patience among the messiness that has been my time of Advent.
As my proposed plans fell apart, I felt God pick up my broken pieces, make them beautiful in His ways and prepare my heart to see Jesus at Christmas.
Let us not be ashamed of our weaknesses or the darkness that may be filling our hearts and lives. Christmas is a time for celebration and joy, regardless of our state of life.


London is famous for it's tolerance and diversity, and on St Patrick's Day everyone is Irish! We all come together with banners, marching bands, baton-twirling majorettes, exotic carnival dancers, Irish dancing schools, friends from dozens of community organisations, decorated lorries, dancing nuns, and dozens of Popes (just in case on is needed at the last minute)!
Oh, and this year, there's a special section for families so you can take the kids and join in the parade too! Just turn up on the day and be part of the celebrations.
Each year tries to be more flamboyant than the last! In 2013 there was a huge, giant inflatable dragon - known as a puca. It was an incredible sight at over 36 metres long and 8 metres high.
At noon the dragon, along with lots of singing, dancing, fifes, drums and general mayhem, left the appropriately named 'Green Park'. Making our way down Oxford Street we marched on to Piccadilly Circus where Eros will wave us through.
Then we made our noisy way down Lower Regent Street.
From here we moved down posh Pall Mall, once home to numerous gentlemen's clubs.
Just round the corner from Pall Mall is Fox of St James, the tobacconist where the great Irish writer, Oscar Wilde, used to buy his tailor-made cigarettes. (Apparently he smoked one hundred a day!).
But we didn't stop to look - we had to get to Trafalgar Square where the party really begins.
Once in Trafalgar Square the entertainment begins and it follows roughly the same pattern each year. From 12 until 6pm there is a free afternoon of Irish cultural events.
Children's area, including a chance to learn Irish dancing, meet Irish sports stars, and create arts and crafts.
There may be variations year by year, but basically these are the usual forms of terrific entertainment.
And of course, the people! Thousands of them - from all over London and beyond, coming together to celebrate 'Irishness' in all its creative forms.
The London irish Centre really gets into the swing of things over the St Patrick's Day weekend. If you fancied getting a good start to your Parade experience, why not pop in for Mass followed by a full Irish breakfast. In 2012 over 1,500 people went along to the London Irish Centre to join in the celebrations.
Top quality trad sessions through the day.
The feel-good factor of helping those in need."
Here's a link to their webiste.
So, if you have a great time at the St Patrick's Day Parade, you can carry on your love affair with all things Irish at the London Irish Centre.
Yes, I could do - the photos on this article are the ones I took last year!
So that's where the name of Pall Mall cigarettes comes from! :) Pall Mall, the London street.

Frederic Tudor
New England's "Ice King" Exported Ice as Far as India
Harvesting ice in Cambridge, Massachusetts, circa 1855. Ballou's Pictorial Newspaper/public domain

The Most Important Inventions of the Industrial Revolution
Robert McNamara
Robert J. McNamara is a history expert and former magazine journalist. He was Amazon.com's first-ever history editor and has bylines in New York, the Chicago Tribune, and other national outlets.
Frederic Tudor came up with an idea that was widely ridiculed 200 years ago: he would harvest ice from New England's frozen ponds and ship it to islands in the Caribbean.
The mockery was, at first, deserved. His initial attempts, in 1806, to transport ice across great stretches of ocean were not promising.
Fast Facts: Frederic Tudor
Famous as: "The Ice King"
Occupation: Created business of harvesting ice from frozen New England ponds, shipping it south, and eventually even shipping Massachusetts ice to British India.
Born: September 4, 1783.
Died: February 6, 1864.
Yet Tudor persisted, eventually devising a way to insulate great quantities of ice aboard ships. And by 1820 he was steadily shipping ice from Massachusetts to Martinique and other Caribbean islands.
Astoundingly, Tudor expanded by shipping ice to the far side of the world, and by the late 1830s his customers included British colonists in India.
Something truly remarkable about Tudor's business was that he often succeeded in selling ice to people who had never seen it or used it. Much like tech entrepreneurs of today, Tudor first had to create a market by convincing people they needed his product.
After facing countless difficulties, including even imprisonment for debts he incurred during early business troubles, Tudor ultimately built a highly successful business empire. Not only did his ships cross the oceans, he owned a string of ice houses in America's southern cities, on Caribbean islands, and in the ports of India.
In the classic book Walden, Henry David Thoreau casually mentioned "when the ice-men were at work here in '46-47." The ice harvesters Thoreau encountered at Walden Pond were employed by Frederic Tudor.
Following his death in 1864 at the age of 80, Tudor's family continued the business, which prospered until artificial means of producing ice surpassed harvesting ice from frozen New England lakes.
Early Life of Frederic Tudor
Frederic Tudor was born in Massachusetts on September 4, 1783. HIs family was prominent in New England business circles, and most family members attended Harvard. Frederic, however, was something of a rebel and started working in various business enterprises as a teenager and didn't pursue a formal education.
To get started in the business of exporting ice, Tudor had to purchase his own ship. That was unusual. At the time, ship owners typically advertised in newspapers and essentially rented space on board their ships for cargo leaving Boston.
The ridicule attaching itself to Tudor's idea had created an actual problem as no ship owner wanted to handle a cargo of ice. The obvious fear was that some, or all, of the ice would melt, flooding the hold of the ship and destroying the other valuable cargo on board.
Plus, ordinary ships would not be suited to shipping ice. By buying his own ship, Tudor could experiment with insulating the cargo hold. He could create a floating ice house.
Ice Business Success
Over time, Tudor came up with a practical system to insulate ice by packing it in sawdust. And after the War of 1812 he began to experience real success. He obtained a contract from the government of France to ship ice to Martinique. Throughout the 1820s and 1830s his business grew, despite occasional setbacks.
By 1848 the ice trade had grown so large that newspapers reported on it as a marvel, especially as the industry was widely acknowledged to have emerged from the mind (and struggles) of one man. A Massachusetts newspaper, the Sunbury American, published a story on December 9, 1848, noting enormous amounts of ice were being shipped from Boston to Calcutta.
In 1847, the newspaper reported, 51,889 tons of ice (or 158 cargoes) were shipped from Boston to American ports. And 22,591 tons of ice (or 95 cargoes) were shipped to foreign ports, which included three in India, Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay.
The Sunbury American concluded: "The entire statistics of the ice trade are highly interesting, not only as evidence of the magnitude it has assumed as an item of commerce, but as showing the indefatigable enterpirse of the man-yankee. There is scarcely a nook or corner of the civilized world where Ice has not become an essential if not common article of trade."
Legacy of Frederic Tudor
Following Tudor's death on February 6, 1864, the Massachusetts Historical Society, of which he was a member (and his father had been a founder) issued a written tribute. It quickly dispensed with references to Tudor's eccentricities, and portrayed him as both a businessman and someone who had aided society:
"This is not the occasion for dwelling at any length on those peculiarities of temperament and character which gave Mr. Tudor so marked an individuality in our community. Born on the 4th of September, 1783, and having thus more than completed his eightieth year, his life, from his earliest manhood, had been one of great intellectual as well as commercial activity.
"As the founder of the ice-trade, he not only commenced an enterprise which added a new subject of export and a new source of wealth to our country -- imparting a value to that which had no value before, and affording lucrative employment to great numbers of laborers at home and abroad -- but he established a claim, which will not be forgotten in the history of commerce, to be regarded as a benefactor of mankind, by supplying an article not of luxury only for the wealthy and the well, but of such unspeakable comfort and refreshment for the sick and enfeebled in tropical climes, and which has already become one of the necessities of life for all who have enjoyed it in any clime."
The exportation of ice from New England continued for many years, but eventually modern technology made the movement of ice impractical. But Frederic Tudor was remembered for many years for having created a major industry.

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are in it for the long haul.
During a joint interview on Larry King Now August 21, the engaged Hit and Run costars once again took a stand for the gay couples who are being denied the right to marry in California.
"Once it's official and everybody stops appealing it the minute before it passes, we'll get married," Bell, 32, told host Larry King, 78. Dating since 2007, Parenthood star Shepard popped the question in January 2010.
"I'll feel more comfortable having a party — or whatever we have, if anything — if half of our friends who are homosexuals [can celebrate]," Bell explained. "It's just kind of rude to invite everyone to a party for a rite not everyone can hold."
King then asked the couple if they plan to have kids, to which both stars emphatically replied, "Yes!"
"We'll have them out of wedlock," Shepard, 37, told the former CNN journalist. "We're not worried about that."
"It doesn't really bother us," Bell echoed.
"We'll apply the appropriate paperwork for wills and security and such, but when he gave [the ring] to me . . . that meant more to me than proclaiming it in front of a group of people," Bell said. "That doesn't feel very significant to me. The moment that we shared when he proposed felt like the agreement."
Hit and Run, which Shepard also directed and co-wrote, features several of the couple's real-life friends, including Bradley Cooper, 37, Kristin Chenoweth, 44, Tom Arnold, 53, Joy Bryant, 35, Michael Rosenbaum, 40, and Ryan Hansen, 31. The film was released August 22.

Founder of a monastery at Monte Cassino, between Rome and Naples, in the sixth century, St Benedict intended his Rule to be a practical guide to Christian monastic life. Based on the key precepts of humility, obedience and love, its aim is to create a harmonious and efficient religious community in which individuals can make progress in the Christian virtues and gain eternal life. Here, Benedict sets out ideal monastery routines and regulations, from the qualities of a good abbot, the twelve steps to humility and the value of silence to such every day matters as kitchen duties, care of the sick and the suitable punishment for lateness at mealtimes. Benedict's legacy is still strong – his Rule remains a source of inspiration and a key work in the history of the Christian church. Saint Benedict of Nursia (c. 480 AD – 543 AD) founded twelve monasteries, the best known of which was his first monastery at Monte Cassino in Italy. Benedict wrote a set of rules governing his monks, the Rule of Saint Benedict, one of the more influential documents in Western Civilization. Benedict was canonized a saint in 1220.

Projects and favorites from a satisfied Phoenix
By Teilor Stoneon October 5, 2020 in Sport
The captain of the Phoenix, Samuel Poulin, knows Thomas Bégin, the 7th round choice of the Sherbrooke organization.

Jérôme Gaudreau La Tribune Everything fell into place on Saturday during the 2020 QMJHL draft for the Sherbrooke clan. The Phoenix had a plan and followed it to the letter. Sometimes playing luck, Jocelyn Thibault was able to add the players he had targeted, a nice mix of favorites and medium-term projects.
Few general managers believe they've missed their mark once the selection round is over, but this time it is with satisfaction that the Phoenix scouting team has left the Thibault GM Complex after selecting their 14th and last choice.
"We knew that our team was not going to speak before the 37th choice and when our turn came to select, we had a player very high on our list who was always available," says Jocelyn Thibault. Zachary Lessard will become one of the league's excellent defenders. "
"We have a defense to rebuild for the future and we have acted accordingly," explains head recruiter Alain Préfontaine. Lessard has seen incredible progress since taking on a defensive role. We even thought of compromising to move forward and we took a risk that paid off. "
Carl-Étienne Michel was the surprise of the draft according to the Sherbrooke general manager.
"If someone had told me he was still going to be available at No. 56, I would never have believed it. Whenever it was our turn to pick, one of our players targeted for that draft pick was still there. We must not forget that in a year, almost all of our defenders will be gone. As with the goalkeeper position, we had to prepare for the future for this position, "adds Thibault.
Compromise for Thomas Bégin
The Phoenix will have made only one transaction during the entire draft, the one made to get Thomas Bégin from the Harfangs de Sherbrooke midget hope … the boarding brother of Samuel Poulin.
Sherbrooke offered the Saint John Sea Dogs a 6th round pick in 2022 against their 2020 7th round pick.
"We were afraid that he would no longer be available in the 8th round. We had to compromise. We like it a lot, "said the CEO of the Phoenix.
Among the organization's favorites, we note among others the acquisition of 6'5 goalkeeper Jasmin Simon, who charmed the Phoenix with the Châteauguay Grenadiers in the playoffs in particular, and the imposing defenseman William-Charles Bishop, who already weighs 200 pounds at 16.
Phoenix's Choice
6 defenders (4 to his 6 first picks)
6 forwards
2 guards
6 from midget AAA
4 from midget hope
2 of the RSEQ
2 of the preparatory leagues

NIH Researchers Show How Anti-HIV Drug Acts to Block Herpes Virus
Newfound effectiveness of tenofovir due to higher concentrations in vaginal gel form
An anti-HIV drug also discovered to stop the spread of the genital herpes virus does so by disabling a key DNA enzyme of the herpes virus, according to findings by researchers at the National Institutes of Health and other institutions.
The study was published online in Cell Host and Microbes and was conducted by researchers at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium; the University of Rome; Gilead Sciences, Inc., Foster City, Calif; and the NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).
The findings explain the results of a recent clinical trial showing that the anti-HIV drug tenofovir, when it is formulated as a vaginal gel, could reduce the risk of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections―as well as HIV infections―in women.
Tenofovir taken orally had been demonstrated to inhibit reproduction of HIV, but had not been known to block the genital herpes virus.
"HIV infection is closely associated with herpes viral infection. When people with genital herpes are exposed to HIV, they are more likely to become infected than are people who do not carry the herpes virus," said Leonid Margolis, Ph.D., head of the Section on Intercellular Interactions at NICHD and one of the authors of the study. "Human tissues convert tenofovir to a form that suppresses HIV. We found that this form of tenofovir also suppresses HSV. This discovery may help to identify drugs to treat the two viruses even more effectively."
Discoveries leading to new uses for previously approved drugs have the potential to save millions of dollars, Dr. Margolis said. New drugs typically undergo years of testing for safety and effectiveness before they are approved for patients. Finding new uses for an approved drug increases the value of the initial investment in testing, because most of the testing has previously been completed.
The researchers examined individual cells and groups of cells infected with HSV and found that high concentrations of tenofovir prevent the ability of this virus to reproduce. They also confirmed that tenofovir itself did not damage the cells. These tests included the type of cells that line the vagina, which are targets for infection with HSV and HIV.
Tenofovir is converted by cellular enzymes to another chemical form. The researchers found that this form of tenofovir suppresses not only HIV, but HSV as well. Specifically, the researchers showed that this active form of tenofovir can disable an enzyme that the virus needs to reproduce.
The researchers also examined the effects of tenofovir in tissues samples. They injected HSV into tonsil tissue and cervix tissue, and then applied tenofovir. They found that after 12 days, levels of the virus were only 1 to 13 percent of viral levels in untreated tissue. Tenofovir also blocked viral reproduction in tissue infected with both HIV and HSV simultaneously.
Using tenofovir to treat lab mice infected with the herpes virus also prevented symptoms of the disease and prolonged the animals' survival, the researchers found.
The vaginal gel showed activity against HSV apparently because of the high concentration of tenofovir that it contains. In contrast, when tenofovir is taken orally, tissue levels do not reach sufficient levels to significantly affect HSV.
"When using the gel, the amount of tenofovir on the affected tissues is about 100 times the amount in the body when taking tenofovir in pill form," said Dr. Margolis. "That explains why its anti-herpes activity wasn't noticed before. Thus, under proper conditions, an anti-HIV drug becomes an anti-HSV drug."
In previous research, Dr. Margolis' team showed that an anti-HSV drug, acyclovir, is converted inside the infected cells into an anti-HIV drug. They now believe the next step will be to find the form in which such drugs are most potent against both viruses at the same time.

Five Finger Death Punch: New Album Highlights Ivan Moody's Sobriety Journey
Five Finger Death Punch: New Album Highlights Ivan Moody's Sobriety Journey
Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter	November 7th, 2019
Five Finger Death Punch's Ivan Moody has been very vocal about his sobriety journey, and it's something that will be addressed on the new FFDP album.
Guitarist Zoltan Bathory said in a new interview with Greensboro, N.C.'s News & Record, "He came through hell. He came back. And that journey, that message is there in the lyrics. A lot of it is about that, his experiences of what happened to him when he was down, how people treated him. He came back, and how people doubted him, that he could come back. And when he comes back, the world is different and he has a different attitude. He can process what happened as a person. So all of those phases, lyrically, are definitely on the record."
FFDP has been sharing updates on the new album since they first entered the studio back in May. The album, per News & Record, is expected out in 2020. The band just launched a U.S. arena tour with Three Days Grace, Bad Wolves and Fire From the Gods. A full list of tour dates can be found at FiveFingerDeathPunch.com.

Melted cheese as the basis for dinner? Yes please!! No it's not fondue, it's raclette – the Swiss tradition that is becoming all the rage. Raclette is actually a kind of semi-hard cow's milk cheese, as well as a method of melting said cheese into a dinner party sensation. Years ago as a wedding present, my family friend Beverly, gave us an 8 person raclette maker along with a mega waffle iron. The genius of a large raclette maker is that the top acts as a griddle so she explained it would be great for pancakes etc but if we wanted to it also doubled as this thing called a raclette maker, something very popular up in Canada where she lives.
The little raclette scoops go under the griddle surface to melt, while the top is left free to heat up anything you want to dip into the cheese. Genius.
I sort of forgot about its secondary use until one day, low and behold, Crate and Barrel had an entire raclette display set up. Up until then I didn't realize it meant melting cheese and pairing it with all of my favorite things! I ran home, pulled it out and raclette night has been popular in the Costello house ever since. Friends love raclette night because it's a fun communal way of eating that encourages sitting around, cracking into some bottles and experimenting with different combinations. When I first started doing raclette it was hard to find the actual cheese but now I am seeing it everywhere. If you are in DC, Righteous Cheese carries an imported raclette from Switzerland (right) as well as one made in Vermont (left). They also carry it at Trader Joes and Whole Foods. As you can see it looks like Swiss cheese (duh) but has a much more nutty, rich flavor.
You can always improvise with another kind of melting cheese if you can't find raclette – I won't tell anyone. The real trick is getting one of the makers. The 8 person version is the most popular because raclette is meant to be shared but I also found this cute one for 2 people. I really like this version from Williams Sonoma as you can have a larger "coupelle" at the top to share but it doesn't have the grill/griddle portion. If you are going to get one I say go whole hog and get the one with the griddle on top so it's a multi use item. Now that you have your maker and your cheese you are going to need to find stuff to dip into that melty goodness. I like to go classic with a mix of hearty vegetables, cured meats and of course BREAD. The Swiss are also partial to pickled items with their cheese that gives it a nice tang.
For this raclette party I served the following: roasted brussel sprouts, prosciutto, calabrese salami, boiled baby new potatoes, cornichon, baguette slices, crackers, green grapes and grainy mustard. Also good would be pickled onions, roasted turkey or ham, asparagus spears, chutney, kettle cooked potato chips…the list goes on and on. That's what is so fun about this dinner party is that all you really do is assemble.
To go with the raclette I suggest getting some nice Belgian beer like these Chimays I picked up. The beer makes a great foil to the cheese – we also had some nice artisanal cider from Millstone, which was particularly great with the Vermont raclette.
Lest you think people will go away hungry, don't – eating this much cheese really fills you up. But just in case it is a good idea to end the night with something sweet. I made this amazing blood orange tart with salted caramel on top.
I have seen lots of local wine bars and cheese shops doing raclette nights so check out your local ones and see if you can get on the bandwagon. I am sure once you have done it you will want to get a raclette maker for yourself!
My favorite cheese for raclette is brie and I put pickled jalapeno peppers with it. Worth a try!
